Eiji Hosoya
Eiji Hosoya (細谷 英二 Hosoya Eiji?, c. 1945 – November 4, 2012) was a Japanese businessman who served as the Chairman of Resona Holdings, Japan's fifth largest bank by market share, from 2003 until his death in 2012.[1] Hosoya was appointed Chairman of Resona in May 2003, is credited with leading Resona's revitalization in the wake of a 2003 taxpayer-funded bailout from the government for 1.96 trillion yen ($24 billion US dollars).[1]
Hosoya graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1968.[1] He joined the staff of the former Japanese National Railways, the state-owned railway network company, after college.[1] The Japanese National Railway is the predecessor of the East Japan Railway Company and the other six members of the Japan Railways Group.[1]
Hosoya worked on the privatization of the East Japan Railway Company.[1]
Resona Holdings, which used to be called Daiwa Bank Holdings Inc., was formed in December 2001 through the merger of Daiwa Bank Ltd., Kinki Osaka Bank Ltd. and Nara Bank Ltd. Asahi Bank Ltd.[1] In March 2002, a fourth bank, Asahi Bank Ltd., joined the lending group as well.[1]
In May 2003, Resona posted 838 billion yen loss which reduced the bank's capital below the minimum required levels, requiring it to seek a bailout from the Japanese government to stay afloat.[1] Resona received a taxpayer funded bailout worth 1.96 trillion yen ($24 billion US dollars).[1] Tha bailout required a shakeup in Resona's management.
Eiji Hosoya joined Resona as chairman in May 2003. He had arrived at Resona after helping with the privatization of the East Japan Railway Company.[1] Hosoya was initially very reluctant to join Resona, telling reporters in a news conference on May 30, 2003, that "I decided to accept the offer as I realized that stabilizing the financial system is the highest priority for the Japanese economy."[1]
Hosoya is widely credited with revitalizing Resona in the wake of the bailout, leading the bank back to financial stability.[1] Hosoya proposed that Resona purchase of 1.3 trillion yen of preferred shares from the Japanese government by 2015.[1] In January 2011, an equity group provided 545 billion yen towards the purchase proposal.[1]
Hosoya raised the number of female managers at Hosoya to combat the gender gap in Japan's finance and business sectors.[1] In a November 2011 interview, Hosoya noted that, "Companies that don't give women leading roles will be left behind."[1]
He also sought to cut Resona's expenses. In 2008, Resona, under Hosoya, sold its headquarters building in Tokyo's pricey Ōtemachi financial district. Resona relocated to a new headquarters in Kiba, Koto, Tokyo.[1]
Eiji Hosoya died from an illness at his home in Tokyo on November 4, 2012, at the age of 67.[1]

Calculating the Price of Climate Change: How Much Is the Crisis Costing Us?
Guest | April 10, 2016
By Guest • Sunday, April 10, 2016 - 04:58
This is a guest post by Emily Logan of Care2.
When activists talk about climate change, we often focus on impacts. We show how Superstorm Sandy mangled the Jersey Shore, how the severe California drought reduced reservoirs to puddles, and introduce people to children suffering from asthma. We tell folks that climate change makes all of these impacts more likely, more frequent and more severe.
But for people skeptical of climate change—either of its science or, like the Chris Christies of the world, of the need for humanity to do anything about it—sometimes these stories aren't enough. When facing the choice of spending our country's limited resources on drastically reducing our fossil fuel production and fortifying our cities against sea level rise or investing in economic stimulus or tax cuts, it helps to speak the opposition's language: dollars.

The lines between art, life and work are blurred - art connects to life experiences. My work is influenced by previous 'lives' I've had, places I've been to and people I've met.
I like the fact that all aspects of my life are inter-related and I realize that this blurring is essential for my well being. Making art and teaching are closely connected. One feeds the other, so that I still enjoy teaching workshops as ideas can be developed through the teaching process.
The studio is a place of refuge (and often chaos), but there is always a place to go, a place where I can expand, invent or follow through ideas that have emerged in the night...
Travel, which includes artists' residencies, is important to me. Being exposed to other cultures and environments has influenced me to see and to respond in different ways.
exhibitions coming soon, currently or recently shown that include my work:

And now Verizon pushed Bing Mobile onto BlackBerry Storms
Alright, Verizon, you're doing it wrong. Stop pushing apps onto my BlackBerry Storm.

Smartphone Showdown: iPhone 3GS vs Motorola Droid
If hype were to be believed, the Motorola DROID is the pièce de résistance of the mobile world; the conclusive creation sent down by the Great Smartphone in the sky to rid us of our woes.

Two More iPhone Overhaul Concepts: Multitasking And Dashboard Widgets. Would You Use These?

Members of the Canaan Valley Women's Club gathered at the Mountain Top Senior Center in Parsons on Thursday afternoon with supplies and packed 100 blizzard baskets for area senior citizens who may be in need of food when the weather is too severe for volunteers to make a delivery.
The baskets contain microwavable pasta, bottled water, applesauce, snack crackers, juice boxes, cookies and fruit treats.
The project is spearheaded by the Women's Club, and treasurer Joan Armbruster said the need for more baskets is growing every year.

The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart
Blizzard boxes were prepared by members of the Canaan Valley Women's Club on Thursday afternoon. The 100 boxes were donated by AARP and filled with non-perishable items which will be used in the event inclement weather prohibits volunteers to reach recipients of meals on wheels or shut ins.
The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart
Canaan Valley Women's Club member Joan Armbruster, helps assemble blizzard boxes including a microwavable pasta. Boxes will be distributed prior to large snow storms to persons receiving meals on wheels or shut ins so they have something to eat if the volunteers cannot make it through with deliveries due to inclement weather.

Beth Christian Broschart
Blizzard boxes include microwave pasta, bottled water, applesauce, snack crackers, juice boxes, cookies and fruit treats. This year donations for the contents were made by Big Lots, Go Mart, Kmart, Rite Aid, Shop-n-Save and Walmart of Elkins and Davis Shop-n-Save.
"The first year we made the boxes, we only did 50," Armbruster said. "We quickly ran out of them and had to assemble 50 more to make it through the winter."
Tucker County winters average 160 inches of snow. More recently, those expectations were exceeded for the season. In 2009 to 2010, snowfall totaled more than 250 inches. This makes the job of delivering Meals on Wheels and meals to Tucker County shut-ins even more difficult.
"When a large blizzard or storm is predicted, volunteers from the Mountain Top Senior Center in Thomas deliver blizzard boxes to those receiving Meals on Wheels and area shut-ins to assure those folks have a meal," Armbruster said. "After we assemble the boxes, we leave them at the center so they have access to deliver those before the large storms."
Armbruster said this year donations of food were received from Davis Shop-n-Save, Elkins Big Lots, Elkins Go Mart, Elkins Kmart, Elkins Rite Aid, Elkins Shop-n-Save and Elkins Walmart.
"The boxes used to hold the items were donated by AARP," she said.
Armbruster said the volunteers who deliver the blizzard boxes always receive positive responses.
"One day I met a volunteer who delivers Meals on Wheels and she told me that when she delivers the blizzard boxes, everyone says they love them," Armbruster said. "Making these and knowing that it helps those in need is just a feel good project."
This is the third winter season the women have made the boxes.
"This is the first year we have not had to assemble the boxes in the snow," Armbruster said. "Our first year, when we delivered the second 50 boxes to the senior center, it was snowing so hard we had to shovel our way into the center."

Hi everyone, Waterdrop queen here...
I need some advice...I am working on some really cool waterdrops, but I am having a heck of a time with my focus lately...The drops that I am doing now are pretty high, but fairly similar to the ones I always did which didn't give me as much grief as these ones are doing...I will attach my focus aid photo which is what I sit in the spot where my drop will fall. I will also then attach my drop, which sure doesn't look in focus to me...give me some advice please..I am getting so many neat shots, but am disappointed in myself because I can't use them. I really would appreciate the help. My settings on my d90 using my 105 macro lens are: bulb mode, off camera flash at f16 (aimed at drop) aperature f16-iso 200-my lens is exactly 16" from the front of the lens glass to where the drop will hit. The room is fairly dim. Please let me know what you all think my problem is. What makes me puzzled is you can see from the shot of my focus aid, the words are clearly in focus..The drop rolls down right on the words...Thanks friends.

Hey, nevermind my friends,, I think I figured it out...I was just too close,,it took me two days to realize that...but I'm back in business. This shot is straight from the camera so just think what it will look like when I lighten it and sharpen it just a tad more...Hey, quick question though,,,if I were to up my sharpening in my camera, would this look even better? just wondering...I know I should do these in raw, but I do so many, and it takes forever than to download them and go through them all....tell me what you think.

Hi Darlene, I can already tell these are going to be amazing like your other drop shots. I can't wait to see the final results.
I can not speak on in camera sharpening other than the fact that you have no control over what it does and once it's there it's there forever.
Have you considered creating an action for sharpening? You would be able to run a batch process on your images and you would still be able to go back and adjust individual images as needed.

Hi Darlene,
I have done a few basic water drops with a couple of excellent results but understand your concerns with the number you have to take.
Firstly, sharpening. I assume you are shooting in Jpeg PLUS RAW so I would up the in camera sharpening for the Jpegs to help you when assessing the Jpegs and when you get that 'brilliant' one you can then do any work on the Raw file if not happy with the jpeg.
Secondly, although you may have solved it. If you move back the DOF is going to increase and you will need to crop to get the same image frame. There is going to be a loss of IQ with this which will also depend upon pixel size to start with but it's a case of balancing one against the other.
There is another option to help DOF and give a better chance of getting the drop in focus and that's to push to f22 or even above. I recently undertook some controlled tests at very close 1:1 ratio real world macro to determine the loss in IQ due to smaller apertures due to diffraction. The consensus was that if you are only producing web sized images (say 1200 pixel width) loss in IQ was not a concern.
As for that shot, superb.
P.S. If you want to use the jpegs with no post work you will need to get rid of the sensor spots..........

Your comment has confused me and I would not like to think that I have given incorrect information to Darlene.
The below is from a test I did recently with results as I would have expected with increased DOF but with the aim of assessing reduced IQ by cropping when using the Nikon 105VR macro.
Object; To take a macro image at settings around what I would often use and to then double the DOF by increasing the camera to subject distance only and then determine the loss of IQ when cropping to achieve the same image size.
The image on the left was taken at 0.45 mtr giving a DOF of 11.8 mm. The image on the right was taken at a distance of 0.61 mtr giving a DOF of 23.4 mm (twice that of the left image). DOF figures from tables and distances are subject to sensor plane. Both images f22 1/60th.
Post processing for each was ACR equal exposure reduction and no sharpening. In Elements capture sharpening on each full image at 40% at 4 pixels, brightness increase of 30% to each. Right hand image cropped to get same frame. Each resized to 550 pixel width with 100% output sharpening to left image and 150% to right image.
Here's the result.

Hey Grahame, thanks for taking the time and showing me the comparisons...You stated that if I were to use jpegs without the post processing, I need to get rid of the sensor spots,,,what is that? Or are you simply talking about all those little waterdrop spots and things that take away from me photo? Yes, I do that when I finish with the final edit...so the bottom line being,,that if I were to increase above f22, I then with physically moving my camera back, and then doing a crop, that would yield an even better image?

Hi Darlene,
Sensor spots, these are what are often also referred to as dust bunnies and are pieces of dust (or fluff) on your sensor that show up on your images. The most noticeable one is at the top left about a quarter of the way in that you will see is evident in all these images.
They become more noticeable and sharper in the image as your aperture opening decreases. I will not go into methods of sensor cleaning as there are many posts on that here but if you are lucky they can be removed with a simple blower. What I will say is that if you want to get rid of them STUDY the technique first.
Cropping, moving back with your 105 is going to give you greater DOF which in turn gives you two possible advantages, greater DOF and a better chance of getting the exact bit you want in focus.
As for yielding a 'better' image this is subjective and depends upon your aims. I am certainly not suggesting that you require better DOF in your images.
Taking the example I posted above the flower was around 35 mm between the closest and furthest part that I would think is somewhere similar to the water drop splashes.
For that flower shot I would not want a large DOF as in the right image as I do not think it enhances the image. BUT, if it was a bee or wasp I would consider that this extra DOF achieved as shown in the right image is well worth the possible slight loss in IQ I have had due to cropping. Additionally, by going for this greater DOF (by moving back) it has given me a better chance of getting the bugs eye which is moving around with the bug sharply in focus.
Finally, decisions have to also take account of the final use of your image. If they are simply for posting on the web and not printing to a very large size there is scope to push to f22 and well above. I recently undertook another controlled real world test going up to f40 for web use and the results were quite surprising.
Hope this helps............

'mtr' short for metre. 0.45 mtr = 450 mm which was subject to sensor plane distance.

Hey thanks for that explaination,,,yes, I do need to get this camera and lens cleaned up,,, and I usually do pretty well at that, and then when I do view my photos and are ready to finish editing for print, I just use either the clone tool or the spot healing tool in photoshop and that does a great job for me...This photo was posted straight from the camera and it does have a lot of stray waterdrops and stuff to clean up should I choose to use it,,,probably not though, will keep trying to get a sharper image first...but thanks for the explaination....

A little something on the side
Is it just me, or does it seem like these days everybody's got a job and a little something on the side?
Here in Portland, examples are everywhere:
- A local PR guy moonlights as the Silicon Florist, chronicler of the city's tech start up scene.
- A photographer is helping organize WordCamp Portland, the annual gathering of local WordPress users that happens in September.
- The head of an interactive marketing agency runs an indie music blog.
- A freelance magazine writer is pitching an ebook.
- Another local writer and (ultra hip) mommy blogger runs Backfence Portland, a live storytelling series.
- The editor of a neighborhood newspaper is working to get a non-profit media lab off the ground.
I've got a couple side projects going too:
- This blog and the annual blogathon connected with it
- Helping with the above-mentioned media lab project
- Writing website copy and other materials for a local church's upcoming 50th anniversary celebration
- A monthly Cub Scout pack newsletter
- A high school auction catalog
The popularity of side projects could be an outgrowth of the Gig Economy Tina Brown so famously wrote about.
I think there's more to it. People – including writers – take on side jobs or volunteer projects if they're just starting out or want to switch careers as a way to get experience before a boss or editor would chance a paycheck on them. It's a good way to put energy into something you're passionate about but don't make money from, or not enough to live on just yet.
I've used side projects to keep writing during a protracted hiatus from paid work, get myself back up once I started writing again full time and get to know the local writing scene. I've also used them to help my kids' schools and other groups that require a certain number of volunteer hours a year; if I have to do something, I might as well do something I like and am good at, right?
Besides adding to what you know and possibly increasing your income, side projects can expand your work and social circles. As much as we all love Facebook and Twitter, it's still nice to meet new people face to face.
So what's your little something on the side?

They give out scholarships like crazy! Most students have scholarships at Conco, however tuition is still a bit pricey despite getting a good scholarship
Concordia's scholarships don't cover all that much
Process was very easy. Could always use a little more of course.
I had the opportunity to compete for the Presidential Scholarship. This was a great process and also a great way to be on campus and experience a little taste of the academic expectations. The professors were so inviting; the experience went a lot more smoothly than I expected. I didn't receive the Presidential, but I was granted the Faculty Scholarship which is only one thousand dollars less a year. The school has good scholarships, sometimes a little hard to get, but there is a big emphasis on theater, music, and the arts.
Concordia is really great at making the school affordable.

Back to School
Brandon Guyer slammed a two-run homer and had three hits, and six pitchers combined to throw a three-hitter, as the Cubs defeated the A's 6-2 in AZ Instructional League Opening Day action at the Papago Sports Complex in Phoenix this afternoon.
The Cubs got on the board almost immediately versus A's starter LHP Pedro Figueroa, putting up a four-spot in the top of the 1st.
Cubs 2008 13th round pick Tony Campana (U. of Cincinnati) led-off the game with a ground single to center, and alertly moved up to 2nd base when A's CF Rashun Dixon bobbled the ball.
Shortstop Starlin Castro (recently rated a Top 20 AZL prospect by Baseball America) advanced the speedy Campana to 3rd base on a ground out to SS, and then Campana galloped home on an RBI infield single by ex-2B Robinson Chirinos (who is at Instructs to further learn his new position of catcher).
2007 5th round pick CF Brandon Guyer (UVA) followed the Chirinos RBI hit with a two-run HR off the scoreboard in right-center, making it 3-0.
But the Cubs weren't done yet.
2008 25th round pick 1B Rebel Ridling (Oklahoma State) roped a double down the left-field line, and after a walk and a HBP loaded the bases, the Reb scored the fourth run of the inning on a ground ball base hit to left by 3B Junior Lake (another BA 2008 AZL Top 20 prospect).
The Cubs scored their 5th run in the top of the 6th on a walk to Lake, a WP, a ground out, and a balk, and 2B Jake Opitz (2008 12th round pick out of U. of Nebraska) accounted for the 6th and final Cub run with a line-drive home run off the foul pole in RF in the top of the 8th.
Cubs 3rd round pick RHP Aaron Shafer (Wichita State) got the Opening Day start for the Cubs and threw two shutout & hitless innings (30 pitches - 21 strikes), and Cubs 2008 2nd round pick RHP Chris Carpenter (Kent State) followed with two more shutout frames (32 pitches - 19 strikes).
Shafer displayed good control, mixing his high-80's moving fastball with a curve and a change (all of which he consistently throws for strikes), while Carpenter alternated a 93 MPH two-seamer, a change, and an effective breaking ball to keep the A's hitters off-balance.
And hard-throwing RHP reliever Dan McDaniel (2008 14th round pick out of Chabot JC) hit 94 MPH consistently and touched 95 in his two innings of work (36 pitches - 22 strikes), mixing his plus-fastball with a knee-buckling bender and a straight-change, as he struck out four. He wasn't quite as sharp as Shafer or Carpenter, but he was bringing some heat to the dish. (One of the scouts in attendance mentioned that McDaniel fell to the 14th round only because he was considered a tough sign, a virtual "lock" to transfer to Oklahoma State).
The only runs allowed by the Cubs scored in the bottom of the 6th, when A's catcher Juan Nunez took LHP James Leverton (Cubs 8th round pick out of Texas Tech) deep to LF. Ex-1B Leverton struggled with his command today (23 pitches, but only 12 strikes).
LHP Dustin Sasser (15 pitches - 10 strikes) and converted catcher (now RHP) Jake Muyco (15 pitches - 8 strikes) each threw a shutout & hitless inning.
Here is the abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Tony Campana, RF: 2-4 (R, HBP, SB, PO)
2. Starlin Castro, SS: 1-5 (K, PO)

5. Rebel Ridling, 1B: 1-4 (2B, R)
6. Jericho Jones, DH #1: 0-3 (BB, K)
7. Jake Opitz, 2B: 1-2 (SOLO HR, BB, HBP, K)
8. Junior Lake, 3B: 1-2 (R, RBI, 2 BB, K)
9. Logan Watkins, LF: 0-4 (K)
10. Michael Brenly, DH-C: 0-3 (BB, K, GIDP)

NOTES: 2008 #1 pick RHP Andrew Cashner returned home to Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike and it is unknown exactly when or if he will be returning to Instructs.
RHP Ryan Acosta, catcher Luis Flores (2008 7th round pick out of Oklahoma State) and 3B-1B Jovan Rosa (led MWL in doubles with 43) were on the AZ Intructional League roster released by the Cubs earlier this month, but they have been scratched (unknown why).
Catcher Carlos Perez (played at Boise in 2008) was a late addition.
Besides Cashner, Acosta, Rosa, and Flores, other notable absentees include 3B-1B John Contreras, 2008 Supplemental 1st round pick (also ex-Team USA) SS-2B Ryan Flaherty, SS-3B-2B Marwin Gonzalez, 2B-LF Dwayne Kemp, SS Nate Samson, 1B Ryan Keedy and Sean Hoorelbeke, outfielders Cliff Andersen, Kyler Burke, Nelson Perez, Drew Rundle, and Jonathan Wyatt, and pitchers Jeffry Antigua, Casey Coleman, Chris Huseby, Jay Jackson, Kevin Kreier, Mark Pawelek, Cedric Redmond, Ryan Searle, and Josh Whitlock (to name a few)
In the case of the MIA pitchers, it is usually just a matter of the Cubs not wanting a youngster to throw any additional innings, but it is unknown why the position players listed above aren't in attendance. .
Daytona 2B Tony Thomas, 3B Marquez Smith, LHP Jeremy Papelbon, and RHP Blake Parker might have been expected to attend the Instructional League, but all four will be playing in the Hawaiian Winter League instead.
And Daytona SS Darwin Barney will be joining fellow Cubs prospects RHPs Esmailin Caridad, Jesse Estrada, and Rocky Roquet, LHP Donald Veal, C-1B Steve Clevenger, 2B Nate Spears, and OF Tyler Colvin (and Peoria manager Ryne Sandberg) in the Arizona Fall League (Mesa Solar Sox) starting next month.
All of the Cubs roving minor league instructors and several of the minor league managers and coaches are working with the prospects attending the Cubs Instructs at Fitch Park, so the youngsters are probably getting as much (or more) expert instruction compressed into three weeks as they might otherwise get over a full season.
The AZ Instructional League continues play through October 11th.
Re: Back to School
Thanks as always, AZ Phil! As a heads up, in the Baseball America chat for the NWL, the writer said that RHP Dan McDaniel was amongst the next 5 who didn't make their top 20 list. Pretty good for a guy who was a reliever all season.
Re: Back to School
Great article. The Cubs do have prospects, probably a lot are under recognized. I'm really excited about Josh Harrison. How does he compare to Tony Thomas?
Re: Back to School
Great insight!! I think that Jake Opitz is really special, LH hitter who can play any infield position. Keep an eye on him in instructs. What do you think?
Re: Back to School
AZ Phil, do you know anything about any of the guys who are coming up from the DSL this year? I'd guess they were some of the better prospects down there last year since they're already in the U.S. (side note: I'm disappointed Jesus Morelli isn't up at instructs; he had great numbers in the DSL and is only 18).
Also, I know Ryan Acosta was hurt earlier in the season? Could it be he's still hurt and that's why he isn't at instructs?
Thanks as always for the great insight!
Re: Back to School
By the way, no Cubs made the top 20 Midwestern League prospects. In the chat, Jim Callis did say Dae-Eun Rhee woulda made the top 10 if he stayed healthy.
How depressing!!
Recent comments
Objectively true. Scherzer's FIP is almost a half point higher than his ERA, mostly I deduce because his BABIP is .249 so something ridiculous like that. It's not like the guy can't be scored on, but when I watch him, I sometimes feel that he's the most in control of the game moving around him.
Certainly might be the hottest pitcher right now, but he's behind a few pitchers by most objective full season standards.
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.
Maddon was pimping Russell for Gold Glove honors recently as a manager should do...

Two bright red canoes on the lake during a Summer day. Beautiful blue skies reflecting on the water. This image has a dreamy quality and makes you want to get out and enjoy a gorgeous day on the water.
I used digital effects to create a oil painting effect and added textures which gives this photo the look of a painting. It is a photo taken at Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia.
Home of the lucky fairy stones, Fairy Stone is well known for its 168-acre lake adjoining Philpott Reservoir just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The park offers cabins, a campground, group camping, a conference center, a lodge that sleeps 16, numerous trails, beach swimming, rowboats, canoes, paddle boats, hydro-bikes, picnicking and two playgrounds, including one in the water. Watch the sunset as you enjoy a paddle boat on the lake. Get back to nature by hiking a trail. Roast marshmallows over a camp fire or just relax on the beach. You'll leave with memories that last a lifetime.

West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
West Indian manatees are large, gray aquatic mammals with bodies that taper to a flat, paddle-shaped tail. They have two forelimbs, called flippers, with three to four nails. Their head and face are wrinkled with whiskers on the snout. The manatee's closest land relatives are the elephant and the hyrax, a small, gopher-sized mammal. Manatees can be found in shallow, slow-moving rivers, estuaries, saltwater bays, canals and coastal areas. Manatees are a migratory species. Within the United States, West Indian manatees are concentrated in Florida in the winter, but they can be found in summer months as far west as Texas and as far north as Virginia. However, these sightings are rare. Summer sightings in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina are common.
West Indian manatees have no natural enemies, and it is believed they can live 60 years or more. Many manatee mortalities are human-related. Most human-related manatee mortalities occur from collisions with watercraft. Other causes of human-related manatee mortalities include being crushed and/or drowned in canal locks and flood control structures; ingestion of fish hooks, litter and monofilament line; and entanglement in crab trap lines. Ultimately, however, loss of habitat is the most serious threat facing manatees today. There are approximately 3,000 West Indian manatees left in the United States.

For those still nursing, how many times in a day are you doing it, and when?
DS January 2012
DS2 May 2014
On a work day:
1x before work
1 5oz bottle at daycare (lo is beginning to only take 1-2 oz of this)
1x when I get home
1x before bed
We are mostly co-sleeping and still nurse throughout night. Lo seems to be nursing less at night and self-soothing back to sleep more. Although we still have days/nights (when he is sick or having teething pain) that he seems to nurses constantly/like a newborn.
When I am home, we nurse on demand. Probably the same amount as listed above. LO only has breastmilk and water to drink. He is good eater and we offer a variety of foods.
first thing in the a.m., noon, and before bed.
I didn't have to convince him to do any of that, he has cut back on his own completely. I think he will be dropping the noon feeding soon as well, he's only interested in it about half the time.

"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." (Aldous Huxley)
First thing when LO wakes up and again right before bed. If he wakes during the night (which he does about once a week), then I nurse him then to get him to go back to sleep. He drinks whole milk during the day and usually eats a serving or two of cheese and whole milk yogurt.

By Andre Butler, Moncrief Army Community HospitalJanuary 31, 2013
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- A Moncrief Army Community Hospital technician was recently presented with a citation for his volunteer efforts throughout South Carolina.
Allen Gotbeter, a supply technician at MACH, and a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, received the President's Volunteer Service Award Jan. 13 in Orangeburg for volunteering countless hours to various causes across the state.
"Allen has donated an extensive amount of his personal time to youth and other venues in South Carolina," said Gerry Kirkland, state chairman for the South Carolina Elks Drug Awareness Program.
Kirkland like Gotbeter is a member of the Elks, and they have known each other for the past six years. Kirkland is also the one who nominated Gotbeter for the award.
"He is an exceptional individual," Kirkland said. "Throughout his years of volunteer service, Allen has (clocked more than) 4,000 hours helping others."
Gotbeter is known for his "Hoop Shoot" program in the community.
"When I think of Allen, 'Hoop Shoot' comes to mind," Kirkland said.
He is the pioneer of the program that is designed to help children from 8 to 13, Kirkland said.
"The program is a free throw competition for girls and boys in the area," Gotbeter said. "The contest starts out locally and (ends) up on the national stage."
The winner of the national competition has his or her name enshrined on a plaque in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Soldiers volunteer and help with the program.
"It's just amazing to see how the kids interact with the Soldiers who help me out," Gotbeter said. "The Soldiers think it is pretty cool too. ... The kids like to high-five the service members whenever they see them."
Gotbeter said seeing the children smile makes it worth it to him. Veterans are also a major priority for Gotbeter and the organization.
"We volunteer our time to our veterans because they deserve it," he said. "And as our motto states, 'As long as there are veterans, we are there to help them,' whether in the hospital or not."
Gotbeter also volunteers time to the drug awareness program.
"Where we can assist in the community, we do," he said. "There are a lot of kids out there who need our help and guidance. ... That is why we volunteer."
Kirkland views Gotbeter's volunteer service as above and beyond the norm.
"He is an American in all aspects of the idea," Kirkland said. "Allen is the perfect example of the type of person deserving of such an award."

Thomas County authorities are warning residents to lock their cars after more than a dozen vehicles were broken into during the night.
Officials say no major thefts were reported; victims claim their cars looked like they had been 'rifled through' and only small things were taken, such as loose change.
Authorities are using this string of break-ins as a cautionary tale to car owners to lock their doors, even if the car is parked in the driveway or front yard: every vehicle broken into had been left unlocked.
They say the easiest way to prevent tempting a burglar is to keep valuables, like laptops or purses, out of sight - or better yet, out of the car altogether.

Storytelling Through Spoken Word and Song
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
July 16, 2009
Are you a fan of folklore, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes?
If you are particularly fond of storytelling and are looking for another creative outlet, recording stories is a wonderful way to have your cake and eat it too.
By combining your passions, you might just even find another way to prosper by your talent! Hear about one woman who has done just that and how you can do it as well here at VOX Daily.
Listening Is At The Core of Storytelling
No other time in our lives is nearly as whimsical as childhood, particularly in the preschool years. Everything is larger than life, the five senses are heightened, and imaginations run freely. There is also no greater time to be introduced to music and find your own musicality through rhythm, lilting text and repetition.
While at BookExpo America this spring, David and I met a number of interesting people, many who were narrators and some who were musicians who incorporated spoken word into their recordings.
Meet Heather Forest
One such artist is Heather Forest, Ph. D., a musician and master storyteller based in Huntington, NY who weaves singing and voice over together into melodious, heartwarming, minstrel-like ballads.
On her website, Heather Forest describes storytelling as one of humanity's oldest art forms, noting that every culture has a rich resource of oral tales that have shaped and preserved values and folklore across generations. Forest affirms that even in our fast-paced, mass media filled world, simply listening to a story remains a compelling, imaginative experience. Identifying the storyteller as a guide, listeners join the storyteller on a dreamlike journey, filled with characters, colors, landscapes and meaning as detailed and complex as the creative listener devises.
While at her booth at the book expo, David was given a complimentary award-winning CD "Sing Me A Story" featuring some of Heather's music, retelling folklore from around the world including "The Little Red Hen", "Three Billy Goats Gruff", "Stone Soup", and many more. When her children were small, she arranged these tales for them and later had her work published for sale in the marketplace.
Heather Forest also gives storytelling concerts, writing workshops, and author programs.
How Can You Bring Your Passion For Storytelling To Light?
There are a number of ways you can share, perform and promote your work. Here are just 5 ideas:
๠Interpret and record a collection of nursery rhymes
๠Assemble a number of fairy tales and retell them as either classic or updated versions
๠Go the troubadour route and sing these stories interspersed with voice over narration
๠Sell these recordings in the Voices.com Store
๠Give concerts or storytelling workshops
Remember that every interpretation is unique so don't be afraid that the market is already saturated with recordings of this sort... there is always room for more, inspired storytelling!
Any Comments?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,

About Jessie Kol
Jessie Kol, a husband-wife musical duo from Nashville Tennessee, love making music together. They share an unlikely story of love and romance, and the music they make often reflects that.
Jessie and Perry's story began in North Carolina where Perry, an audio engineer and resigned guitar player, started recording song demos of Jessie at a performing arts school located in Raleigh. Their shared passion for making music collided after Perry relocated to Nashville and began recording Jessie in "Music City." It was during this time that Jessie and Perry fell in love and got married. They eventually decided to merge their musical talents, with Perry taking up the guitar again, to form the duo.
Jessie's lush, soothing and sweet vocals combined with Perry's guitar playing and audio production expertise seem to make the perfect pairing for this musical duo. Jessie Kol loves taking old classics and making them new again. Their latest singles "Unchained Melody" and "Can't Help Falling in Love" are an example of that - two all time favorite and classic love songs, given a fresh new take!

Froch: The Pasting I Give Groves May End His Career!
Carl Froch claims he may just end the career of the "arrogant, cheeky, disrespectful" George Groves this weekend.
Froch puts his IBF and WBA super-middleweight titles on the line on Saturday when he faces challenger and fellow Briton Groves at Manchester's Phones4u Arena on Saturday.
The pair have exchanged verbal barbs ahead of the bout, which will be Froch's 14th title fight and Groves' first.
Froch, 36, has not been impressed with some of the things Groves, 25, has said but claims that has only motivated him more.
The Nottingham fighter, speaking after a conducting a public workout, told Sky Sports News: "My motivation is my two world-title belts, my legacy and the fact this kid is coming in arrogant, cheeky, disrespectful, downright rude - and I don't like that.
"With boxing I get the chance to set the record straight and make sure I put that right.
"There is no better job, and no more satisfying job for me to do, other than giving George Groves a pasting. I am looking forward to doing that.
"If he had been a bit more humble and a bit more polite, a bit placid, in the build-up and appreciative of his chance against the champ, then I might have taken my foot off the gas.
"I prepare very diligently anyway, I am always very professional in what I do, but his attitude and the way he has conducted himself - very, very childishly, immaturely, arrogantly - in the build-up to the fight, has given me that little bit of extra motivation to just grit my teeth in sparring and push on at the end of the run, everything that makes me a bit fitter and sharper on the night.
"I am taking it very, very seriously and George Groves is in a world of trouble.
"He is going to get an absolute shock on Saturday night because, not only am I going to beat him, I am going to beat him in spectacular fashion and potentially end his career. He is not going to see that one coming."
Froch, who has won 31 of his 33 fights, accepts undefeated Londoner Groves deserves his shot at a world title.
But even though Groves has an impressive record behind him, having taken 15 of his 19 victories by knockout, Froch is not overly impressed.
He said: "Anybody that is going to be coming into the ring unbeaten, challenging for a world title, even if they have not really shown they belong there in the past, they are going to put in that extra 10 per cent in training.
"It is their chance, it is his big shot. I am taking him very seriously.
"Do I think he deserves it? Well, he obviously does because he is next in line for the IBF world title.
"Hopefully he is super-fit and has been training hard, so his legs will be stronger, so when I do start to connect on his chin - and I will start to connect on his chin - hopefully he doesn't fall over straight away.
"George Groves can't take a shot, so as soon as I start smacking him on the chin his legs are going to turn to Bambi, he is going to be all over the shop.
"There are some big names that I have boxed that have been unbeaten before coming into the fight with me.
"Some have gone on to win world titles, some have just retired because I have just knocked them sick.
"We will see how George Groves comes back from this loss, but it is going to be a devastating defeat for him."
Have a feelin the youngan really got under Carl's skin but Froch is cagy and he's not stupid. His career direction is swayed much more heavily in a loss than it is in a win so he will prepare to…Comment by Jewish Reptile on 11-19-2013
[QUOTE=fladz;13941310]All this contrived "needle" was annoying from the start. They clearly don't have any problem with each other, but Hearn told them from the outset that it was going to be a tough sell for PPV, and they'd need to…Comment by Adamjr91 on 11-19-2013
I'm not really one to complain about an undercard but the Froch-Groves undercard is genuinely embarrassing. We have a paper title defence for Quigg Joshua fighting a bin man And the World class (lol) Crolla fighting Stephen Foster (Who's he?).…Comment by moonshineman on 11-18-2013
Something seems to be going on with Froch. Maybe it's something in his personal life. He doesn't seem to be excited about boxing, and I don't think he has enough money to retire yet. Who knows?. Good Luck, Carl.Comment by SirTomJones on 11-18-2013

The Quilting Guild from the Family Motor Coach Association presented more than 100 quilts to the Spinning Spools Quilting Guild of Shawnee.
The quilts will be donated to the Department of Human Services, Baby First and the Salvation Army.
The Quilt Guild makes quilts as they travel and 70 percent will go to local organizations wherever the rally happens to be, in this case Shawnee.
"They distribute them to local non-profits," Julian Lightfoot, Quilt Captain with the Six-State Rally Association, said.
The remaining 30 percent goes to Fisherhouses in San Antonio. These places assist soldiers returning from overseas, and their families, Lightfoot said.
In addition, Spinning Spools Quilt Guild of Shawnee makes quilts for Habitat for Humanity homes and newborns each year.
"As a guild, we have made a quilt or two for every habitat home," Evelyn Pipkin, Spinning Spools president, said.
In addition, the guild makes about 100 baby quilts each year, Pipkin said.

here). Fast forward, and I overheard my aunt reminding my Mom of some potato cakes their Mom used to make that were really good, and I just so happened to have seen, and passed over a recipe that sounded suspiciously similiar from that little cook book. I made one little adaptation, but these are really good, and completely unhealthy, so.....right in line with everything else in my recipe book.
Potato Cake Recipe
Ingredients: 1/4 lb bacon, 4 large potatoes, 1 T. milk, 1 egg, 1/2 t. garlic salt (it actually called for allspice instead of this, but I adapted it to my taste), salt and pepper to taste, 1 small onion, minced.
1. Boil, peel, and mash potatoes. Add milk, egg, and seasonings to mix. Blend well.
2. Cook the bacon, drain and crumble into the mashed potato mix (reserve the grease).
3. Form potatoes into patties, and place in heated bacon grease.
Next time, I'll make my patties a little smaller b/c the browned part was my favorite. These were sort of hashbrownish, and all good.
