George Costanza would hate Google's new privacy policy. The "Seinfeld" character was distressed enough when his fiancée started hanging out with a friend of a friend, bringing separate parts of his life into contact and causing his "worlds to collide." "You couldn't figure out the 'worlds' theory for yourself?!" he fumes at Jerry, who brought the two together. "It's just common sense! Anybody knows you have to keep your worlds apart!"
Tell that to Google. The goal, as Google tells it, is to "create one beautifully simple, intuitive user experience" that treats consumers "as a single user across all our products."
RELATED: Google Reminds Us What It's Really Selling: Us
"The reason this becomes a non-trivial piece of news is because our data can now be used out of context from what might have been expected when the user first provided the information," notes Anindya Ghose, a visiting professor at Wharton and co-director of New York University's Center for Digital Economy Research. "That is, data provided in one setting might now be used in a different setting. It is precisely this data sharing across contexts that creates privacy concerns."
Google's announcement is the latest turn in the tango between online platforms and consumers who use them. As online social networks expand, information collection improves and online advertisers create new ways to target consumers, companies like Google must amass ever-richer data sets to compete. That puts them increasingly at odds with some users who feel their privacy slipping away.
The tension has grown to such an extent that some companies are beginning to flout their privacy standards as marketing gambit. Shortly after Google made its announcement, competitor Microsoft came out with an ad campaign to woo users to its services instead. "The changes Google announced make it harder, not easier, for people to stay in control of their own information," Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft's corporate vice president of corporate communications, wrote in a blog post announcing the ads. "We take a different approach -- we work to keep you safe and secure online, to give you control over your data, and to offer you the choice of saving your information on your hard drive, in the cloud, or on both."
Google countered immediately with its own blog post: "Our privacy controls have not changed. Period," the blog reads. "Our users can: edit and delete their search history; edit and delete their YouTube viewing history; use many of our services signed in or out; use Google Dashboard and our Ads Preferences Manager to see what data we collect and manage the way it is used; and take advantage of our data liberation efforts if they want to remove information from our services."
The tit-for-tat is an interesting twist in the privacy wars, which last saw Google as the winner. The initial appeal of Google+ "was that Facebook's privacy policies were not very good," Ghose points out. "People actually moved from Facebook to Google+.... This is going to be very disappointing to the early adopters of Google+."
Defending the Territory
Worlds are colliding not only in the Google universe but offline, as lawmakers and regulators worldwide scramble to figure out what Google's policy merger means in their respective territories. On January 26, eight U.S. Congressmen wrote to Google CEO Larry Page, asking for clarification of what Google's new policy would mean. Days later, regulators from the European Union asked Google to "pause" its policy merger until the group, the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party, had a chance to investigate the impact on EU citizens. Google refused, saying it had already notified 350 million account holders and had already discussed the issue with regulators. In the reply to both EU regulators and U.S. lawmakers, Google said its new policy would not impact existing privacy settings, and that it was not collecting more data, just combining it in new ways.
RELATED: Google's Fancy New Los Angeles Campus
Sometimes it's the amount of aggregation that's the problem, says Wharton new media director Kendall Whitehouse. Personal data that has been public for years -- in public records, phone books and court filings, for example -- was difficult to collect in one place. Not so today, where every public record is now viewable online with a click. "Every one of those items is a valid piece of public information, but as it gets aggregated together, it gets a little creepy at a certain point," Whitehouse notes.
Most online platforms say they don't share personally identifiable information with advertisers, but studies have shown that large amounts of data about a single person -- even anonymous data -- can sometimes be used to identify the individual. "It turns out that as your information gets more aggregated, you become more transparent.... At a certain level of aggregation, [anonymity] disappears," Whitehouse says. Google's privacy merger raises questions about how far data aggregation should go. "Aggregation at a certain scale really does change things and possibly call for a need for additional oversight," Whitehouse adds.
The Google privacy policy merger "is going to be analyzed as a tipping point" for data privacy and database regulation, predicts Wharton legal studies and business ethics professor Andrea Matwyshyn. "Consumers were not expecting this degree of data integration, and, although they haven't quite processed the full consequences of it yet, are uncomfortable with it." Matwyshyn says Google's new policy highlights "a fundamental tension in the business space around what it means to have databases to store information, how we monetize [the data] and what privacy protection consumers are entitled to, if any." Questions remain about how much privacy users can expect, what legal rights a user has in terms of how public information is assembled and shared, and whether users can do anything legally to prevent one online world from colliding with another.
"There are identity salience questions" that haven't been answered, Matwyshyn notes. Just as George Costanza's "Relationship George" threatened to destroy "Independent George" when his worlds collided, a first grade teacher who spends weekends playing in a rock band might struggle to maintain both identities in the real world if they start to blend together online. "We all have different identities at different points in our lives," Matwyshyn points out. "Maybe we want to maintain a segmented identity." As data collection intensifies and one online world links to others, "we're essentially removing the ability of the individual to choose which identity role comes out in which situation."

Re: Walking Footwear
If hiking on Sinai features on the trip the some broken in lightweight summer walking boots will be OK but if not the walking shoes should surfice. Egypt in "winter" should be warm/hot days, with cold nights. Enjoy the trip!

FRIDAY - August 4, 2011
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court today United State District Judge Terrence W. Boyle sentenced ARMON LEROI MATTOX, 28, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, to 87 months' imprisonment followed by three years' supervised release.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on February 16, 2011. On April 26, 2011, MATTOX pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
On August 1, 2010, a Fayetteville police officer responded to a reported shooting at a residence on Decatur Drive. According to the investigation, while outside smoking a cigarette near the front door of the residence, two roommates saw MATTOX walking down the street and then break into a run as he came toward them. In his left hand he was carrying a handgun. MATTOX pointed, what was later determined to be a Taurus 9mm pistol, at the roommates, forcing them inside the residence. Once inside, when one of the roommates fell down, the other ran out the back door and called 911. The third roommate, who was in the bedroom, heard the commotion in the living room. Retrieving a 12-gauge shotgun, the third roommate chambered a round when he saw MATTOX with the handgun pointed at him. The roommate fired one round at MATTOX. MATTOX fled to the living room and went out the front door. The roommate followed, thinking MATTOX was still armed, and fired another shot. MATTOX had actually already dropped his gun, which was later recovered near the hall doorway. MATTOX was located at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center seeking treatment for the wounds he received and confessed to the attempted armed robbery.
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Fayetteville Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney David Bragdon served as prosecution for the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.justice.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Casual dining is in the throes of a midlife crisis.
A quarter-century ago, consumers feasted on fried appetizers, unlimited breadsticks and big desserts at Applebee's, Olive Garden and Chili's. Today, many Americans are trading those restaurants in for cheaper, faster fare or splurging a bit for a trendier experience.
Midpriced, sit-down restaurants — known as casual dining in the industry — have seen on average about 2 percent fewer customer visits each year since 2008. That translates into a total drop of almost 600 million annual visits, to 6.4 billion in 2012.
"They've been around quite a while and many of them have not stayed as relevant in meeting consumers' wants and needs of today," said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant analyst with research company NPD Group.
The world's largest casual-dining company, Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants, has been hit especially hard. Company executives cut sales and earnings expectations last month, acknowledging to analysts their major brands such as Olive Garden and Red Lobster have suffered because they've been too slow responding to major shifts in how Americans eat out.
"It is clear to us that given our current business situation, we are indeed in a new era," Chief Executive Officer Clarence Otis told analysts.
Other companies have experienced similar turbulence. Earlier this month, Applebee's and IHOP owner DineEquity reported declining traffic at both brands for its fourth quarter, while Chili's parent Brinker International toned down its profit forecast.
"We know casual dining is not the bright, shining star that it used to be," Brinker Chief Executive Officer Wyman Roberts told analysts.
Tony Roma's has dwindled from 157 U.S. restaurants to 40 during the past decade — though the company says it's still opening new eateries.
The industry is trying to reinvent itself with lower-priced meals that are quicker and more healthful. Darden, for example, said last week it plans to speed up Olive Garden's lunch service, jump on culinary trends more quickly, attract younger diners with more technology and lure back lower-income customers with good deals.
The economy has played a major role in slowing sales. American budgets are taking one hit after another — most recently from increased payroll taxes and rising gas prices.
Americans cut their dining-out budgets dramatically during the economic downturn, from which many in the middle class haven't fully recovered.
"Many consumers have had to adjust to having less — and spending less," said a recent report from NPD Group, noting that nearly 75 percent now consider their spending cautious. So when they eat out, they are often finding cheaper alternatives.
Visits to "fast-casual" restaurants, which include brands such as Chipotle, rose by 8 percent last year compared with 2011, according to NPD Group.

Patsy then joined Benvue, a team in the Clean Speech League. He then moved up to the juvenile side, Renfrew St. James. He then moved up again to Clydebank Juniors and began to attract the attention of scouts from senior clubs. They could see his talent which was impressive, but had doubts due to his puny, frail appearance. Despite this he received offers of a trial with Clyde F.C and Celtic. During his trial period he scored twice in a 6-1 defeat of Dumfries and three times in a 5-0 win against an British Army XI.
He revitalised Celtic's team which had slipped to fifth place in the league for season 1910-11 as the great team, that had included Jimmy Quinn and Jimmy McMenemy which had won six successive league titles in a row began to tire. With Gallacher in the team Celtic won seven League Championships, four Scottish Cups, four Glasgow Cups and eleven Glasgow Charity Cups
To play alongside Patsy Gallacher in national cup final was a dream. Patsy was the fastest man over 10 yards. He moved at great speed and he could stop immediately sending opponents in all directions. He could win a game when the rest of us were just thinking about it — Jimmy McGrory
Within 20 yards of goal Patsy Gallacher was the most dangerous forward I have ever seen. You never knew what he would do. Often he would wriggle through, past man after man, with defenders reluctant to tackle in case they gave away a penalty kick — Alan Morton of Rangers and Scotland
Many people have asked me how Patsy would have stood up to the rigours of the modern game. He would have strolled through it. There is no present day player in this country that I would put anywhere near his class. Even Jimmy Johnstone, with all his talents, never reached the Gallacher heights. Gallacher was always advancing; there was no doubling back and playing across the field. Everything he did was positive. — Jimmy McGrory
There never was a player like him, and I often wonder if we shall see his like again. I wish we could, just to show the present day players that we of Patsy Gallacher's time had something to boast about — Alan Morton
He was the greatest who ever kicked a ball. — Tommy Cairns of Rangers
Patsy was the complete footballer. He had wonderful ball control, he had tricks of manipulation all his own. His body swerve and ability to change pace, which never came from practice but obviously were natural gifts, were a sore problem to opponents — Sir Robert Kelly
So long as there is a Celtic the name of Patsy Gallacher will be revered, and his sons and their families can rightly be proud of that. — Sir Robert Kelly
The best book on Patsy Gallacher is "The Mighty Atom" by David Potter, published by the Parrs Wood Press 2000

Is it the Attitude Era?
by, 09-25-2010 at 08:35 PM (3456 Views)
I have been a long time WWF/E fan since the first time I've watched Stone Cold Steven Austin open a can of whip ass on Triple H, which would start my long and everlasting hate for his character.
Now that the Attitude Era is over I feel like WWE have drop the ball, but not because the Super Star must watch what they say or blood is not allowed to be shown in the match. Hell, chair shot to the head doesn't make the show, so I am not complaining nor am I mad about that.
What I am made about in the entertainment value of the actually matches. Since the PG Era there have rarely been a match when I was like "Damn, did you just see that shit!" The phrase can change depending on the person but the fact stay the same.
I can remember one of my favorite matches of all time. Stone Cold vs The Rock when Austin joined VKM. As my eyes look onto that match I was like wow! This is great, the wrestling was also and you would have got you money worth. About three or four years down the road when it came on DVD, me and my friends watch it in the living room and I was still in excitement about it.
Undertake vs. The Rock vs Kurt Angel-Great
Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho-Great
Jericho vs Chris B. vs Stone Cold-Great
Just to name a few. I haven't seen nothing like that from WWE other the Taker vs Shawn, which was the only reason I have oder a PPV for WWE since Noway Out came to Baltimore and Kane was till wearing his mask. Yes that damn long....that damn long.
That's was what I miss about WWE, good matches that have its follows looking in awe. The last match I saw that took me back into that time was the Kurt Angel vs Jeff Hardy. Which I have to say was the best match I've seen in TNA and WWE for awhile.
So it's not the fact that the Attitude Era is no more, its the fact that the matches are not as good as they was. I can deal with all this PG crap if I could see a Championships match that didn't look like The Bella Twins vs Hornswoggle.

A trademark license agreement between Pittsburgh's Duquesne University and Johnson City Schools regarding the use of the university's logo of a grimacing top-hatted man becomes effective Friday.
The total cost of the miscue is estimated at about $22,500.
The agreement is the result of Science Hill High School's admitted use of Duquesne's registered trademark without prior authorization and a tersely worded June letter asking that Science Hill cease and desist or face legal action. Initially, the university demanded the logo be removed from Kermit Tipton Stadium's playing turf before the Aug. 4 school start date.
However, the school system began negotiations to retain the use of the logo on or at certain areas, and representatives from the two entities say communication was amiable and an agreeable solution was reached. In the end, the only change made to a proposed agreement this fall was moving the effective date from October to Thursday.
"When you register a trademark, you do have an obligation to protect it," Lee Patterson, the school system's human resources director and legal counsel said Tuesday. "But everyone's worked together well, and the only change from the prior agreement is moving back the effective date."
Beginning Friday, the school system will be allowed to keep the logo on the football field for five years, though it must do away with the logo on the scoreboard. The logo also will be allowed for a term of two years to be used on the high school's wrestling mat and athletic uniforms.
In return, the school system will pay Duquesne $5,000 in $1,000 annual installments, the first being due by Friday. SHHS Athletic Director Keith Turner has received a $17,500 quote on the cost of removing the logo from the football field and replacing the turf when the time comes. This cost, and the annual payment, will be derived from revenue generated by an agreement between the school system and Coca Cola Co., which supplies soft drinks.
In 2006, Turner says he came across the logo in a magazine while looking for a similar, rugged-appearing upgrade for the high school's athletic program. Turner and SHHS Assistant Principal Jeff Aldridge handled the upgrade from it's "man about town" logo that had been in place since about 2003 to the "mad hatter" look of the current logo, according to Dave Chupa, Johnson City Schools' instruction and facilities supervisor.
On Dec. 5, the Board of Education amended its policy regarding the use of copyrighted materials, trademarks, mascots and logos that more clearly delineates responsibilities and places tighter controls on their use in hopes the misstep won't happen again.
The agreement calls for no further clothing, labels, signs, brochures, schedules and the like bearing the logo be ordered and produced. The university has agreed to let the high school continue to sell existing promotional items until stocks are depleted. The university also will let Science Hill keep all proceeds from sales of these items through June 15 on the condition that evidence of the sales are made available on request.
Failure to cease using the Duquesne logo at the indicated times will result in "immediate and irreparable harm" to Johnson City Schools and that its "remedy at law will be inadequate," according to the agreement.

Now accepting applications for 2015-2016! » More info
Lower School students in every grade participate in educational field trips throughout the year.
Pre-Kindergarten students participate in a 30-minute physcial education class two times each week. Students in Grades K - 5 participate in a 30-minute physical education class at least three times each week. Students in first and second grade have the opportunity to participate in swimming lessons.
Lower School students are encouraged to participate in the annual All-School Musical.
The Lower School focuses on literacy, appreciation, and performance. Student literacy begins with an introduction to beat, rhythm, melody, music notation, form, harmony, movement, singing, and playing pitched and unpitched instruments.
Students learn about instruments in the orchestra and about influential composers. They are also introduced to music from diverse cultures. They attend concerts in the community which reinforce their classroom experiences.
All students are taught good vocal habits and are also taught skills of choral singing throughout Lower School. Students present a Holiday concert in December and a spring concert in April. Any child in grades three through five can participate in Footnotes, our after school children's choir. Students may audition for a smaller group out of Footnotes called Footnotes Ensemble. These two groups participate in school concerts, present concerts in their community, and take an optional trip in the spring where they may sing in a festival or a competition.
Suzuki/Traditional violin lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, and dance lessons are offered to all Lower School students as an enrichment class during school hours or after-school. Lessons are taught privately and semi-privately with experienced instructors. The students have performance opportunities playing in solo and group settings for the Holiday and Spring Concerts during the school year and possibilities beyond. This is a tuition based program.
Lower School art classes include a strong emphasis on individual creativity. The classes encourage each child's creativity through work with marker, tempera paint, watercolors, pastels, charcoal, crayons, and clay. Proper use of the art tools is demonstrated with each medium and various art terms are introduced and explained. In addition, the elements of line, shape, form, texture, color, space, and value are studied. Integrated art lessons are structured with the regular classroom studies when possible. The Lower School children are also exposed to several artists and their styles. This exposure helps the children further develop their imagination and form their own unique style of creativity. Artists covered may include Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Georgia O'Keefe, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Claude Monet, to name just a few! Art classes are 30-minutes weekly for PK, and 45 minutes weekly for Grades K - 5.
A variety of after-school electives are available to Lower School students including cup stacking, science camp, scrapbooking, disc golf, and more. These opportunities change each quarter and are offered at an additional fee. Click here for more information.

What Cloud Computing Can Learn from NoSQL
"NoSQL" is among the hottest terms in web infrastructure; there's no denying that much. In fact, the fascination with all things NoSQL goes well beyond just talk – statistics show that job listings requiring Hadoop and NoSQL database skills are skyrocketing in number, and implementations are popping up across the web. Still, Hadoop and NoSQL combined don't come near matching the current popularity of their web-centric cousin, cloud computing. What's fascinating, however, is that while it's a younger concept garnering far less public debate, NoSQL is better understood (for what it is and is not) than is the cloud.
A prime example is the general understanding that NoSQL is not a panacea that will creep into data centers and instantly displace relational databases. Sure, NoSQL databases have strong suits – particularly scalability and low-latency serving of unstructured web data – and some are predicting the end of the MySQL-plus-memcached era (or at least suggesting it might be upon us), but others note that advances in flash memory and solid-state storage could mitigate perceived performance hits with relational databases. Even the most ardent MySQL supporters acknowledge the product has shortcomings, some of which have been filled in by NoSQL developers, but believe it has legs to survive with a few tweaks. And while Facebook is a leader in Cassandra development, it still relies heavily on its MySQL and memcached investments.
It's not that everybody is in agreement over which model is better, or to what degree NoSQL will replace relational databases, it's just that everybody seems to understand that every database – regardless of its label – has its strong suits. Depending on the tasks being performed, web applications might rightly utilize multiple databases.
From my perspective, it took the cloud-computing discussion much longer to come to this realization. First, everything was going to move into the cloud. Then, enterprises would only ever use private clouds. Then, hybrid clouds were floated as a possibility, albeit somewhat fantastical. It's only now, however, that everybody seems to agree that hybrid models are how cloud computing will be done, and we're seeing products emerge to that end. To the degree that NoSQL and cloud computing are related, the former camp seems to have gotten a handle on the old-world-meets-new-world reality much faster.
What's the significance of this distinction? Web-application infrastructure is advancing fast, and in a relatively uniform manner. By the time organizations are ready to start moving their applications into the cloud en masse, the database best practices, at least, should be in place. To give customers what they need, cloud providers must catch on to the reality of NoSQL-plus-relational database layers faster than they did the reality of hybrid-cloud delivery models.

WEDNESDAY - September 7, 2011
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court yesterday JOSEPH CHRISTOPHER BOYDEN, 22, pled guilty before Senior United State District Judge W. Earl Britt to two counts of Hobbs Act robbery, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1951 and two counts of using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 924.
According to the Criminal Indictment returned on March 10, 2011, while carrying a short-barreled rifle, on September 25, 2010, BOYDEN along with co-defendant Perry Rashawn Wilkins, robbed the Landmark Pick-Up Grocery Store on East Fifth Street in Greenville, North Carolina, of approximately $600. The following day, BOYDEN, armed with a short-barreled shotgun and accompanied by Wilkins, robbed the Wilco-Hess Convenience Store on Highway 43 North in Greenville, North Carolina, of $760.
At sentencing, set for December 5, 2011, BOYDEN, who is a resident of Greenville, North Carolina, faces up to 20 years' imprisonment for each count of robbery. For each count of using and carrying a firearm, he faces up to a life-term of imprisonment consecutive to any other sentence imposed.
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Greenville Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney John Bennett is serving as prosecution for the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Hand-raising a baby calf requires a commitment to providing adequate nutrition, housing, and care to give the calf the best chance to grow into a healthy, productive adult. This information is designed to help provide a better understanding of generally accepted calf management guidelines and how each recommendation benefits the calf. It is not intended to provide treatment recommendations - there is no substitute for sound information from your veterinarian.
For a bottle calf, milk replacer will be the primary source of nutrition for several weeks. The young calf can already digest high-quality milk replacer, but it will need to gradually develop the ability to digest grain and hay in the first few weeks of life. The tag or label will be an important source of information when selecting a milk replacer. Manufacturers are required to provide the guaranteed nutrient analysis, list of ingredients (in order of highest to lowest inclusion), and mixing and feeding instructions. The major ingredients (protein and fat sources) are usually found in the first few lines of the ingredient statement – it is here that you should be able to identify the protein source(s), probably the single most important factor when choosing a milk replacer. The only important ingredient you will not find here is the medication – this can be found above the Guaranteed Analysis in a section called "Active Drug Ingredient(s)" if the formula is medicated. The example tag below is a non-medicated formula with all-milk derived proteins (the protein ingredients are highlighted in yellow).
1. Protein source is the most important factor you should consider when choosing a milk replacer. Milk-derived proteins (whey, whey protein concentrate, skim milk, casein, dried whole milk and buttermilk), and plasma and serum proteins are the most digestible sources of protein and will support the best growth and health. In addition to being an excellent protein source, plasma and serum also provide functional globulin proteins that can help the calf ward off pathogens that cause scours (diarrhea) and other diseases. Egg protein and plant proteins (modified or hydrolyzed wheat protein, soy isolate, soy protein concentrate, or soy flour) are less digestible but can be an economic alternative to the more expensive milk and plasma proteins. In general, processing vegetable-based proteins makes them more digestible. Soy flour is the least digestible protein ingredient that is commonly used, and should not be fed to calves less than 3 weeks old. If you decide to start with a higher quality protein source, and then switch to a more economical formula when the calf is older, it will be very important to transition to the new milk replacer over several days time, gradually mixing in increasing amounts of the new with the old. This gradual change allows the calf time to adjust to the new formulation and develop the digestive enzymes needed to utilize the new proteins.
2. The amount of protein, fat, and fiber in the formula must be guaranteed on the tag or label and should be carefully considered. The most common nutrient profile for milk replacers is 20% protein and 20% fat, but the range in available products is wide (18% to 28% protein, and 10% to 24% fat). The standard "20/20" is still a good choice for most feeders, and the best place to start for comparing products. The benefits of higher nutrient levels must be balanced against the additional cost. Higher protein will generally support faster, leaner growth if your management is good. Higher fat might be considered if you live in a cold climate – the extra energy will be beneficial to the calf. Formulas containing less than 15% fat are not recommended for calves, because it may not supply enough energy to support health and growth. Fiber is a good indicator of digestibility in a milk replacer formula – all-milk and plasma formulas should show less than 0.20% fiber maximum on the tag. Some soy protein formulas (typically those with soy flour) can contain as much as 1.00% fiber and should not be fed to very young calves.
3. Additives and Medications can make a big impact on calf health and growth if they are chosen carefully based on your farm's management level and performance expectations. Non-medicated additive options are numerous – we have listed only a handful of the most popular here. The list of approved milk replacer medications is short, and likely to become even more limited in the near future due to concerns about development of antibiotic resistance in humans.
Common Calf Milk Replacer Medications
*It is important to note that no medication is effective for treating ALL causes of calf scours. Viral pathogens (example, Rotavirus or Coronavirus) and certain microscopic parasites (such as Cryptosporidium) do not respond to antibiotics and must be prevented, where possible, with good sanitation and colostrum management.
Neomycin and Oxytetracycline (commonly referred to as "NT", "Neo-Terra®" or "Neo-Oxy")
200 grams per ton Neo + 100 grams per ton Oxy – at this level the combination is labeled to "aid in the prevention of bacterial scours."
400 grams per ton Neo + 200 grams per ton Oxy – at this level and higher, the combination is labeled to "aid in the treatment of bacterial scours." *Neo-Oxy is most effective at treating scours associated with E. coli.
Oxytetracycline OR Chlortetracycline (commonly referred to as "OTC" and "CTC")
10-20 grams per ton – at this level these drugs are labeled for "increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency." *Note – this drug level is too low to impact calf scours.
Lasalocid (brand name Bovatec® – commonly abbreviated as "Bov")
72-90 grams per ton to provide 1 milligram per kilogram (2.2 lbs) calf body weight daily – labeled for the control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.
Decoquinate (brand name Deccox® – commonly abbreviated "DQ" or "DX")
45.5 grams per ton to provide 0.5 milligram per kilogram (2.2 lbs) calf body weight daily – labeled for the prevention of coccidiosis in ruminating and non-ruminating calves (including veal calves) and cattle caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii. *Deccox is considered more effective than Bovatec for Coccidia control, but is also considerably more expensive.
Common Non-Medicated Additives for Calf Milk Replacers
Plasma and Serum Proteins (commonly abbreviated "APL" or "AP") *Ingredient listing is "dried animal plasma" (most likely Bovine origin), "Bovine plasma" or "Porcine plasma." Also an excellent protein source, plasma and serum provide functional immune proteins which can impact calf health when included in calf milk replacers at 3-7% of the formula. *Also important to note is that research supports that plasma can have an impact on viral causes of scours and parasites like cryptosporidium, in addition to bacteria.
Mannan-Oligosaccharides (commonly abbreviated "MOS" – the best known brand is Bio-MOS®) *Ingredient listing is "yeast primary dehydrated and brewer's dried yeast" or "yeast extract." The manufacturer's description: "Derived from the cell wall of yeast, MOS helps block pathogens from adhering to the intestinal wall and enhances cell-mediated immunity that allows for improved animal performance."
Fructo-Oligosaccharides (commonly abbreviated "FOS" – the best known brand in Ultra-FOS® ST) *Ingredient listing is "extract of chicory" or "inulin." The manufacturer's description: "Non-digestible polysaccharide that works to selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and at the same time help to reduce potential pathogens in the colon and feces in young calves."
Direct-Fed Microbials (commonly abbreviated "DFM", also called Probiotics) *Individual bacterial strains must be listed in the ingredient statement and the total level of bacteria must be included in the guaranteed analysis. Numerous combinations and levels of various beneficial bacteria are available in milk replacer with varying results. In general, addition of large numbers of "good" bacteria help to maintain the proper balance of bacteria in the calf's intestine by competing with "bad" bacteria for available nutrients.
APEX® *Ingredient listing "natural flavor extract." The manufacturer's description: "Blend of specific plant extracts and Alinex™, a nature-identical form of allicin found in garlic, formulated to encourage feed intake and improve calf performance."

Whenever possible, select a milk replacer that is agglomerated (also called instantized) to mix easily in warm water. A product that mixes well will also provide more consistent nutrition for your calf by ensuring that he consumes the same product throughout the entire meal. High-quality, instantized milk replacer made with all milk proteins, or milk and plasma proteins, should not separate after mixing. Separation is most commonly seen as settle out, when some or all of the milk replacer components drop out of solution to the bottom of the pail or bottle, or as fat separation, when you can see or feel a greasy layer on the top and/or sides of the pail or bottle. Some settle out should be expected with soy protein, as it is less soluble than milk proteins. This does not necessarily indicate lower digestibility, but it does make it necessary to mix (or remix) the milk replacer immediately before feeding.
Calves should be fed at least twice daily at the same time each day, preferably early morning and evening. A third milk feeding during the day may be needed to provide extra nutrients and energy during cold weather, or for very small or weak calves.
The recommended equipment list for milk replacer feeding is the following:
1. 2 or 3 quart bottle and nipple, or a 2 gallon pail (separate one for each calf)
2. 2 gallon or larger bucket to mix milk replacer in if you are feeding by bottle
3. Source of clean, hot water, and a thermometer for measuring water temperature
4. Wire whisk, preferably stainless steel, for mixing
5. Bucket and bottle brushes, clean rinsing liquid detergent, and bleach for cleaning and sanitizing feeding equipment
6. Rack to allow feeding equipment to air-dry after sanitizing – thorough drying and exposure to sunlight will also help disinfectant equipment.
Most milk replacers have a plastic measuring cup provided in the bag, and all products must include mixing and feeding directions on the label or tag. It is important to always use the measuring cup provided in the bag, because milk replacers can vary in density (weight per unit of volume) between formulas and brands. If you use a measuring cup that was not sized for your milk replacer, you may not be providing the correct weight of milk replacer powder, and this can result in over or under feeding. For best accuracy, weigh the full measuring cup of milk replacer periodically to verify the correct amount is being fed. Remember to weigh the empty cup and subtract the cup weight from your result.
Most milk replacers are designed to be mixed with warm water at a temperature of approximately 110° -120°F. Making sure the water is warm enough is important because you must melt the fat for it to go into solution. If the water is too cold, the fat may separate or a portion of the powder may sink to the bottom. If the water is too hot (over 140° F), the proteins coating the fat can be damaged, causing the fat to separate and leave a greasy residue. Damaged proteins lose nutritional value, and can sometimes be seen as white flecks or chunks in the solution. To ensure complete mixing, always mix in a pail or bucket even if you are going to feed the milk replacer by bottle. Add the warm water, adjust the temperature if needed, and then sprinkle the milk replacer powder on top of the water. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk until the milk replacer is completely dissolved. Allow the mixed solution to cool to 100°-105° F before feeding. Stir the solution immediately before feeding or pouring into a bottle for feeding. Do not leave milk replacer sitting out (in a bottle or pail) for longer than 1 hour – bacteria can grow rapidly in warm milk.
During cold weather, the calf's energy requirements increase because they use more calories to keep warm. Young calves (less than 3 weeks old) are most vulnerable to cold stress, mostly because they have very little body fat to burn for energy. In fact, a young calf starts to feel cold at 50°F, and can actually starve to death in really cold weather if not provided with extra energy in the diet. A good rule of thumb is to add a third feeding of milk replacer during the day for calves less than 3 weeks old if the daytime temperature is below freezing (32°F), and the calf is in cold housing (outdoor hutch or in an unheated barn). Start with a half bottle on the first day or two, and then increase gradually to a full bottle if needed. This will increase energy and nutrient intake to help keep the calf healthy and growing. The extra feeding will also have a "warm soup" effect, making the calf more comfortable with a warm belly full of milk.
Feeding milk replacer in a pail can save time and make cleaning the feeding equipment easier, but it does leave the liquid milk replacer exposed to more contamination than a bottle. Training the calf to drink from a pail requires a little patience but is relatively simple. A hungry calf will eagerly suckle on a finger placed in its mouth. Insert a clean, preferably gloved finger into the calf's mouth with the pail of warm milk replacer directly below. Once the calf begins suckling, gently lower your hand into the pail until the calf's muzzle is in the milk. After a few tries the calf will learn to drink milk from the pail. It may take several feedings before the calf learns to go straight to where his milk is. If the calf resists, try using a shallower pail (a clean gallon ice cream pail is handy) or one made from more translucent plastic – sometimes having his head too deep in a dark pail (above his eyes) can make a calf nervous to start. Consistency and patience are keys to successful training.
Calves typically consume only a little water and calf starter before two weeks of age. Start by offering a small amount of calf starter (a handful up to about 1/2 pound) to provide enough for the calf to nibble on while avoiding waste. Providing fresh calf starter and clean water in clean pails every day is the best way to stimulate consumption. Dirty or old calf starter should be discarded and the pail scrubbed and sanitized – bacteria grow rapidly in soiled or damp feed. Closely monitor water availability during hot weather, because young calves can easily become dehydrated if they do not have enough fresh water available.
Most calves can be weaned from calf milk replacer between 6 and 12 weeks of age, as long as they are healthy and are consuming at least 2 pounds of calf starter each day. A calf that is eating starter consistently can be weaned "cold turkey" or you can reduce the amount of milk fed per day for a short period to promote starter intake and prepare the calf for weaning. A common approach is to cut back to a once-daily milk feeding for 7-10 days before weaning. Remember, the calf must be consuming enough calf starter to support health and growth without milk. It is also best to avoid weaning during other stress, such as transport, vaccination, dehorning, etc., or when the calf is sick.

East Africa Grain Council (EAGC) will soon start supporting Rwandan farmers in post harvest management.
We want to equip all farmers with skills necessary to preserve grain quality...harmonising quality standards to check trade barriers and promote trade across the region is the goal.
This was disclosed by Samuel Ruto, Programs Manager of EAGC, while addressing agriculture officers from various districts across the country in Kayonza yesterday.
EAGC and the agronomists spent two days training on structured trading systems and post harvest management methods.
The training was organised by EAGC in conjunction with Rwanda Rural Rehabilitation Initiative (RWARRI).
Ruto said increase in maize production meant more earnings for farmers trading in the commodity, adding that maize was the potential staple food in the region.
"The efforts are meant to protect millions of maize grains harvested every year. The surveys show quality of grain loss is between 30 per cent-40 per cent...actually three out of ten bags of maize, are lost through post harvest in the region," he said.
Ruto explained that agronomists were regarded as trainers of farmers across communities, adding that they needed to conceptualize the structure of trading systems.
He added that agronomists would disseminate the rules of trade based on standards in the market, further noting that there was need to harmonise trade in the region.
"Farmers need trade contracts, available grain standards and emerging market institutions. Farmers are not aware of markets or don't have access to market information, can't preserve quality of grains, etc.
"We want to equip all farmers with skills necessary to preserve grain quality...harmonising quality standards to check trade barriers and promote trade across the region is the goal."
Nathalie Niyonagira, one of the trainees and an Agriculture officer in Kirehe district said EGAC input was timely.
She said that despite the relentless efforts to handle post harvest challenges there was still a long way to go.
Niyonagira said that assistance from EAGC to farmers to establish warehouses in rural areas is great news.
"Warehouses are only in urban areas, yet a farmer would be comfortable with a warehouse near his or her farm," she said.

Experiencing One More Disney Day – Part 2
After spending the first two hours around the hub and castle shooting every possible subject from every possible angle, it was time to take a break and get some breakfast. The day was approaching normal operating hours and for me that meant I could slow down with the photography. We would wait until the next round of unique opportunities after midnight and early morning before the next sunrise. For the most part the rest of the day was like any other. We would enjoy the park the way we normally do, riding a few rides and take a few pictures here and there. Gregg Cooper and I took a few more photo walks throughout the day, but we were really taking mental notes of locations to revisit for sunset, at night and early dawn.
The park was not nearly as crowded as we expected during the day. It was a little busier than normal for the time of year, but felt much like a typical day during the week in the summer. One thing that surprised us was that the ABC television show Modern Family was recording an episode. We thought it was strange they would choose to shoot on a day where crowds were expected to be higher than normal. They blocked off sections of the park during filming creating a bit of a bottleneck at times. At one point we decided to check it out and see if we could see any of the stars. They were shooting over at Splash Mountain where Sofia Vergara and Ed O'neill were acting out a scene. I walked by a couple of times and snapped a few photos before being scolded for having "pro" equiment. Oops!
Before we knew it, we were losing daylight and that meant it was time to figure out where to shoot the sunset. We had some unusual (for So Cal) puffy white clouds throughout the day but unfortunately they didn't stick around for sunset. After shooting the sunset with some with our usual group of friends/photographers, it was time to think about charging camera batteries and phones. We found a quiet location by Carnation Plaza where we found our friend Sam (Disney Resort on flickr) and we hung out for about an hour. I noticed that my cell phone service was starting to become unreliable which is normal when the park gets busy. Tucked away in the corner, we were unaware of how crowded the park was. I finally got enough service on my phone to get Twitter updates about the mess out front. The park had reached capacity and some 40,000 people were out front trying to get in with all roads around the park jammed. We couldn't believe it. However as bad as it sounded on Twitter, it never felt that chaotic inside. At least, not to me. But as the night went on, wait times for the rides reached unbelievable levels. The craziness that I expected much earlier in the day had finally come.
The overnight experience was full of energy like I have never experienced at Disneyland before. Every hour past 8pm (the usual park closing time), an announcement was made and music blasted turning the entire place into a high energy frenzy. It was so bizarre that by 3 or 4 am, the place was still buzzing with tons of energy. We ran into a couple more celebrities…Leonardo DiCaprio at Big Thunder Mountain and Olympic Snowboarder, Shaun White at Star Tours. According to Tom and Sarah Bricker, who we spent much of the day with, the entire cast of Modern Family was out playing in the park. There was so much going on, it was impossible to feel tired.
Slowly but surely, the day the adventure was coming to an end. Around 4:30am we began setting up for blue hour and sunrise. Gregg decided to go to the Rivers of America and I, once again, chose the hub. Blue hour was INCREDIBLE!! I have never seen anything like it at the park. It was probably the highlight of the whole experience! As the sky got brighter and the sun began to pop up from the horizon, I scrambled back and forth from Partners to Sleeping Beauty Castle and back to Partners. What was truly remarkable was the amound of people standing in the hub, in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, just staring forwared in awe with their phones and cameras pointed ahead. The only other thing I can compare it to is a crowd waiting for fireworks, except this time there were no fireworks planned. Everyone was just admiring the beauty of the morning. You could sense the anticipation of the sunrise, as if it was the finish line signalling the end of a long journey. When the clock struck 6, the final announcemnt was made that One More Disney Day had come to a close. It was time to head out.
I slowly made my way to the front. All along Main Street, Cast Members were again lined along the street with their smiles and their Mickey hands waving goodbye, thanking us for a wonderful experience. Maybe I was just overly tired, but it almost brought a tear to my eye…almost. I had completed a 24+ hour journey inside the gates of Disneyland. It had finally come to an end. I snapped one more photo of the second consecutive sunrise from inside the park, and then I headed out. What an incredible experience!
Many assume they will get another chance to do this in four years. We will see if it becomes a Lear Year tradition. Or perhaps it was such a success, Disney will find more ways to celebrate with a 24 hour event. Either way, I would do it again in a heartbeat! However, I don't think anything will be more special than this first experience.

Ah, the speakers!! The speakers are ALWAYS incredible at Engage. I was so honored to speak even a little amongst all the greatness that was there to inspire, teach and push us to go beyond! What a joy to "dive deep" with Todd Fiscus and take a deep breath with David Beahm. Marcy Blum always tells us how it is, she doesn't hold anything back – which I love! This was the first time I heard Mindy Weiss speak, she was funny, amazing, inspiring – and so down to earth! Bryan Rafanelli (yes, of the infamous Chelsea Clinton Wedding) was a treat to learn from, and Tara Guerard and Amy Atlas – genius business women!
Incredible: Marcy Blum, Kathryn and Rebecca of Engaging Concepts who created this entire symposium for all of us, Todd Fiscus, Tara Guerard and innovative David Beahm, Randy Fenoli from Say yes to the dress, Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings, Abby from Style Me Pretty, Amy Atlas and Donna Newman, and Mindy Weiss.
And the decor? Well, of course it was fabulous. The impact of the "little things" like the fabulous box for our "Box Lunch." Everything was branded fabulously with the color palette of Fuchsia and chartreuse – SO perfect for Palm Beach. SWOON! The designers and staff at The Breakers hotel OUTDID themselves. Seriously, every detail was perfect. (and it was so nice to be a GUEST at an event!)

Harare — The two MDC formations, Zapu and Mavambo have struck a panicky electoral alliance, pushed by the US, to improve their chances against Zanu-PF in the harmonised elections at the end of this month, sources close to the parties said on Friday.
Washington, worried by the poor electoral chances of the four parties, hatched the plan for the grand alliance and presented it to them, fait accompli, through a neighbouring country sympathetic to some officials of the parties in the coalition.
Under the deal, MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai becomes the sole presidential candidate, the party's secretary-general Tendai Biti first vice president, and MDC-N leader Welshman Ncube the second vice president.
The sources said the coalition was finalised on Thursday, and was due to be simultaneously announced by Tsvangirai and Mavambo leader Simba Makoni in Harare, and Ncube and Zapu president Dumiso Dabengwa in Bulawayo around mid-day on Friday.
It follows a series of shuttle meetings in Harare and Bulawayo by representatives of the neighbouring country running on behalf of the US.
Up until now, the parties - particularly Ncube's MDC - were reluctant to forge an electoral alliance due to personal political ambitions of the leaders, and differing ideologies.
But sources said they were "whipped into line" by the US and the neighbouring country, both worried the parties stood little chance of defeating Zanu-PF in the July 31, 2013 elections.
Several local, regional and international polling agencies have predicted a Zanu-PF victory in the elections, with voters attracted by the party's broad-based economic empowerment policies such as land reforms and indigenization which have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
The sources said the announcement of the grand coalition was timed to "lift up the spirits" among the parties following Tsvangirai and Ncube's failure to delay the poll.
The Constitutional Court on Thursday dismissed applications by the two to delay the poll, a judgment which dealt a psychological blow to their parties ahead of the election.
The timing was also meant to "steal the thunder" from Zanu-PF's launch of its election manifesto today at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield.
But analysts said the coalition created more problems for the parties involved, than it solved.
The most pertinent of these is how to select prospective legislators to be withdrawn from the July 31 election race, and how to manage the subsequent fallout.
This also includes managing the bruised egos of some of the top leaders of the parties, most of whom are avowed ideological and professional foes.
For instance, the sources said, Ncube only grudgingly accepted the second vice presidency in the coalition, having originally preferred to be ahead of Biti as was the case in the MDC before the party split into two.
The two, both lawyers, also harbour professional jealousies believed to have driven the parties further apart since the 2005 split.
Ncube is also believed to have sour relations with MDC-T vice president Thokozani Khupe, who has been dropped completely from the presidency in the coalition, over the Makokoba constituency.
"This is a panicky alliance cobbled together through the spirited efforts of the Americans and other players from outside, and nothing ideological or otherwise holds the parties together," a political analyst, who declined to be named, said.
"It cements the parties' puppet image among voters, and the alliance is a mere parody of the 1987 Unity Accord between Zanu-PF and PF-Zapu," he said.
Unlike the members of the MDC-T led alliance, Zanu-PF and PF-Zapu shared the same liberation war background and ideology, having fought jointly to free the country from colonial rule.
The alliance, analysts said, also creates a perception problem among the parties' supporters who until now had been told the coalition had collapsed.
"Campaigning is at an advanced stage, and these leaders have been telling their voters to vote for their individual parties, only for them to now change and say something else. This creates a serious perception problem among voters," said the analyst.
"This is a reaction to the legal setback in the Constitutional Court, and the parties are scrambling to find anything that could possibly salvage their threatened political careers," he said.
A top political science lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe said this election is being fought on substance, and not emotion as was the case in 2008, and the grand coalition had nothing to counter offer to ZANU-PF's successful empowerment agenda.
Zanu-PF spearheaded land reforms in 2000 under which nearly 400 000 formerly landless blacks were resettled on farms taken from white farmers, and is now pushing for indigenization, especially in the mining sector.
Several rural communities surrounding mines have already been made shareholders in the mining ventures in their areas, something that has transformed the communities.
This, the University of Zimbabwe lecturer noted, is what the coalition has to match if it is to beat Zanu-PF in the harmonised elections.
"It is a tall order. Merely coming together is no substance. They have to find the substance which the electorate can buy into," he said.

Pet Care: Dogs, other animals 'play doctor'Dear Dr. Fox: I have two dogs. The older female had a growth removed from her leg, and the other one (male) checks that spot every morning when they get up. They sleep on the sofa together. It seems like he's checking up on her because he knows she's had a problem. Do animals play doctor, or is it just curiosity because she may smell different?

A list of NBA players who can veto or block trades in 2013
Jan 13, 2013, 8:00 PM EDT
Excellent information from Marc Stein of ESPN.com in his weekend column, where he details the circumstances surrounding the ability of various players to either block or veto a trade involving them this season.
There are 19 players in total that can throw a wrench in their respective team's trade talks if they so choose, due to either no-trade clauses built into veteran contracts or rules that are in place in the most recent collective bargaining agreement.
There are four players with full-blown no-trade clauses built into their contracts — a privilege that comes to players who have eight seasons in the league, and four with the same team, and only when the clause is specifically negotiated into a new deal.
Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, and Tim Duncan all fall into this category — as if we expected any of them to be changing teams this season, anyway.
The next category features players who were signed by teams in restricted free agency, and thus can't be traded without their consent for a year after their offer sheet was matched. There are only two players who meet this criteria, but they're both names who you wouldn't be shocked to hear surface in trade talks — Nicolas Batum of the Blazers, and Eric Gordon of the Hornets.
The remaining 13 players who can say no to a trade earned that right by signing one-year deals with their previous team for this year. The reason is because their free-agent Bird rights would be forfeited if traded elsewhere by the end of the season.
The players in this category are as follows:
Ivan Johnson (Atlanta)
Brandon Rush (Golden State)
Chauncey Billups (Los Angeles Clippers)
Devin Ebanks (Los Angeles Lakers)
Darius Morris (Los Angeles Lakers)
Marreese Speights (Memphis)
J.R. Smith (New York)
J.J. Hickson (Portland)
Boris Diaw (San Antonio)
Patty Mills (San Antonio)
Alan Anderson (Toronto)
Aaron Gray (Toronto)
Cartier Martin (Washington)
Ebanks and Morris are interesting names, for the simple fact that they're playing for a Lakers team that may try to make a deadline deal, and in the process may need to throw in some lesser players to make something work. Same thing with Alan Anderson and Aaron Gray of the Raptors, in case the team should be able to find a taker for Andrea Bargnani before this season's Feb. 21 deadline should pass.
Other than that, there aren't a lot of players on this list who you'd expect to be dealt, but it's certainly something worth keeping in mind as trade talks heat up around the league and the deadline approaches.

I have a feeling this seasons trades are not gonna be very plentiful or fun or exciting. There will be a few little ones here and there but it's probably gonna be pretty dead for the most part. IDK, we'll see.

I can't imagine why Portland would trade Batum. He signed what appeared to be a ludicrous contract with the Timberwolves last offseason but somehow he's lived up to it. Every big Trailblazer win seems to feature 3-4 huge Batum plays in the closing minutes. I mean I think he'd make a good team into a contending team but what can anybody offer for him?
- badintent - Jan 14, 2013 at 3:32 AM
I enjoyed seeing him and Durant lock horns tonight ! fun game. Nice to see Portland back in the mix. Great city for Voodoo donuts. !!!
- eugenesaxe - Jan 14, 2013 at 6:51 PM
Yeah, Nic's shown he can earn that payday. It would have to be a Hell of a deal to trade him.

For power, Jerry found an original 302 engine, and Bub Whitaker of Burtonsville Machine in Maryland was given the job of building the NHRA-legal Stocker bullet. It was given an 0.030-inch overbore, refreshed forged crank, and original GM pistons with forged connecting rods. Since class rules prohibit porting of any kind, the stock Z/28 heads were left untouched and the stock-sized valves were given a three-angle valve job.
A Crane cam was installed (stock lift, per the rules), along with a fresh stock valvetrain that included original "O"-stamped steel Z/28 rocker arms. Behind the 302 is a Jerico four-speed with Bonafanti clutch parts sending power to a GM 12-bolt rear with Posi-traction and 5.86 gears hung on a fresh set of monoleaf rear springs.
In October of 2008, once the car was back together and running right, Jerry took the '67 to the NHRA Virginia Nationals for its debut in Stocker trim. In the cool fall air, the Camaro laid down a 10.79 at 121.6 mph on its first run. Jerry eventually took the D/Stock trophy for the event. A few weeks later at the NHRA Pennsylvania Dutch Nationals, the Camaro fired off a 10.60 at 124 mph. A year later, at Maple Grove again, the Camaro ran a best of 10.57 at 124.5 mph, only three hundredths off the NHRA D/Stock national record of 10.54. Jerry firmly believes that with the right conditions, the old Z/28 can claim the class record.
High 10-second elapsed times at over 120 miles per hour? Not bad for a little 302 ci small-block that usually carved corners instead of taking home Wallys.

opinionBy Mathias M. Mayombwe
In recent decades, conflict sensitive journalism has emerged in the media world as an innovative journalistic approach that seeks to manage and resolve conflict by way of a win-win.
It proposes to do this through popular and all-inclusive participation of the voices of those who do not traditionally make it into the news. Conflict sensitive journalism seeks to amplify such marginalised voices and it has proved successful in situations of continuous and unresolved conflict. This works out at both the grass roots and higher levels in society right up to the national platform.
In contrast, the traditional journalistic approach is to tell the story from the point of view of public personalities who, by reason of their public profile, sustain interest in and lend credibility to that story. In other words, the scope of the traditional approach is personality-based, and as such, may in some quarters, be criticised as narrow and elitist. As is evident in any polarised political climate, the traditional journalistic approach can easily become a driver of different ideological interests. Further, the experienced challenges of actual or perceived misrepresentation of the personal views of the influential is a sobering reminder to Ugandan journalists and Ugandan media houses about the potential disadvantages of the traditional approach to reporting.
Rather than limit the scope of the story to public personalities and their opinions, conflict sensitive journalism seeks to unravel and understand the web of issues behind the story. The silent and passive recipients of the story according to the traditional approach become active and engaged stakeholders in conflict sensitive journalism. Further, conflict sensitive journalism broadens the scope of the story from limiting itself to the opinions of those who traditionally make the news to actively engaging the views and concerns of those who are the traditional recipients of news.
In order to discover the breadth and significance of the story, conflict sensitive journalism maps out the various stakeholders involved, right down to the grass roots, and seeks to articulate the specific concerns and interests of each stakeholder. Each stakeholder in the story is considered and respected as an autonomous voice with specific issues of interest to articulate, rather than as a passive backdrop to the news made by the views and opinions of public personalities. Conflict sensitive journalism seeks to promote the democratic public space through participation and inclusion of those who would otherwise frequently be voiceless.
Like all good professional journalism, conflict sensitive journalism demands of the practicing journalist a solid and ongoing investment in professional best practice, time and people management. Media houses that embrace conflict sensitive journalism need, as a matter of strategic necessity, to invest in editing and recording equipment. This includes hardware and software solutions.
Conflict sensitive journalism focuses on issues and, as such, requires objectivity and discipline on the part of the practicing journalist. Issues, unlike personalities, are by their very nature neutral and people-centred. Therefore, any engagement with issues demands a spirit of open-mindedness and non-partisan reporting.
On the Ugandan media scope, conflict sensitive journalism has been pioneered by the Uganda Media Development Foundation (UMDF. To date, UMDF has conducted a number of trainings on conflict sensitive journalism approaches to build and sustain professional capacity, mainly among mid-career broadcast media staff. As a programmatic intervention, conflict sensitive journalism has been introduced in eight regional radio stations across Uganda. These are Radio Pacis and Rainbow Radio in the West Nile, Radio Wa and Luo FM for Northern Uganda, Step FM and Kyoga Veritas radio in Eastern Uganda, and Voice of Tooro and Guide FM in Kasese for the Western region. These radio stations serve as benchmark models of excellence in conflict sensitive reporting.
Conflict sensitive journalism is a relatively young approach to journalistic reporting and is yet to be mainstreamed as best practice in media houses. However, it presents an exciting opportunity for journalists and media houses to develop and produce stories and programmes in fresh and adventurous ways. By focusing on issues rather than on public personalities, this approach to journalistic reporting seeks to open up the public space by involving and empowering the citizens in the articulation of issues. These can include stories on land disputes and the ways in which they affect the livelihood of the ordinary families. Rather than dwell on the drama of the land dispute as a reported event, conflict sensitive reporting seeks to focus on the processes that build up the story and then to offer a platform of common ground for solutions to be proposed by the stakeholders. This development is clearly in line with the Government's own democratisation drive to involve Ugandans in solving their own problems.
By tapping into the silent marginalised voices, conflict sensitive journalism offers media houses a new listenership/ readership. This enhances the popular ratings of the concerned media houses and its credentials as a key public stakeholder in governance. It is in the interest of the private sector as well as Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to associate with credible, issues-focused and audience-rich media houses. This is a business prospect that media managers need to study carefully in order to translate it into fresh commercial opportunities for marketing and advertising. In Uganda's increasingly competitive media environment, where competition revolves around similar business strategies, innovativeness in programming and other media products is a critical business strategy not only in maintaining the market niche, but also in expanding into new and uncharted business ventures.
Conflict sensitive journalism enhances the democratic credentials of the Ugandan journalist and media house in promoting the popular voice in governance. Significantly for media houses, it provides a sustainable commercial option for boosting their marketing and sales figures.
The writer is the National Coordinator, UMDF

I'll have to read back thru your guide and look for the fuel screen/fuel nozzle assy.
Oh yeah, I reassembled the enricher (aka choke) and thought I might share a thought or two and some pics. First off, if you are going to disassemble and then reassemble this you will want to do it with the carb off the bike, or at least with the throttle assembly out of the way. With things like this:
it was a pain in the buttocks. I found a way to get it reassembled but that was only after quite a few search and retrieve missions for the slide valve and/or spring after they jettisoned into the bowels of the engine... so what I did with these parts:
(see GK's post below, so the remainder is edited after looking at the parts fische).
So you should slide the spring over the cable end and then connect the slide valve onto the cable, maybe pull the lever on the handlebars to help hold them together, but they should stay together OK this way. Then you can try (and try, try again... ) to push the assembly into the carb and tighten the cover/nut to secure it.
I ended up using needle nose pliers to reach the nut, and was damn sure not to give it too much torque because it's only plastic.
Mine was clean and beautiful after over 10K miles so I guess you are right Laramie; might not be a necessary chore. I did it originally instead of disconnecting the cable from the lever.

In Excel, it does. Perhaps in CVS OO already has this feature, or might
soon if you file a feature request. [1]
However, for now it looks like you can use Format Cell | Background Color

Dunno on this one. It seems to be hardcoded relative to the size of
double. I have always regarded this as a somewhat less-than-friendly
characteristic of the formula syntax, sort of like writing HTML or TeX is
different than viewing it.

Food and Beverage Companies Propose New Regulations for Advertising Toward Children
July 26, 2011
According to the Los Angeles Times, some of the nation's largest food and beverage companies have proposed new self-imposed regulations to drastically restrict the kinds of products they advertise and market toward children. The uniform nutrition criteria comes after a handful of federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, were directed by Congress to establish guidelines for such advertising. The industry plan targets a number of food types, including juices, dairy products, grains, soups and meals. It holds companies to limits on the amount of calories, sugar, sodium and saturated fat allowed in foods promoted to children.

Kent State Accounting Student Wins Ohio CPA 2013 Scholarship Day AwardPosted Jul. 22, 2013
Kent State University senior accounting major Lauren Romick of Stow, Ohio, received a $3,000 first-place honor as the 2013 Scholarship Day award recipient from the Ohio Society of CPAs (OSCPA). Several accounting students in Ohio competed for the award.
"I was very surprised but excited when they announced my name as the winner," says Romick. "I could not believe that I had won."
Each participant in the 2013 Scholarship Day previously won a $2,000 award from the Ohio CPA Foundation's annual statewide scholarship program. This award made participants eligible to compete at the 2013 Scholarship Day.
"It's a great honor that Lauren was invited to the Scholarship Day, and I think she represents Kent State University very well," says Linda Zucca, chair for Kent State's Department of Accounting.
Zucca has known Romick since she came on campus as a freshman. Zucca says Romick is very active in student organizations and serves as a First-year Experience instructor, assisting first-year students through their transition to a collegiate atmosphere and the larger academic community.
Romick learned of the scholarship from the OSCPA student ambassador, informing Kent State's Accounting Association about the scholarship application.
The students received a set of potential questions the judges may ask, and Romick researched each question thoroughly, spending a month preparing for the OSCPA event.
Each student was interviewed by four individual judges. Once the four interviews were completed, the judges formed a panel to interview each student.
"I really enjoyed speaking with the judges and professionals about their experiences with the accounting profession," says Romick. "They each had an interesting perspective on the OSCPA and the opportunities and services it had to offer students and professionals."
"It's a great accomplishment. She worked very hard to get this award," says Zucca. "It shows how good our students are here at Kent State."
Romick is currently an audit intern at Deloitte. After graduation, she plans to start a career as an auditor in public accounting in the Cleveland area.
"She is an amazing, outstanding student in all respects," says Zucca.
