Ice water in
by Jim McCarty
Float 4 miles
below Van Buren on the Current River and an interesting phenomenon occurs.
Even on the hottest August day, the bottom of an aluminum canoe becomes
so cold that bare feet cannot take the icy chill.
Youve just passed Big Spring, the largest single-outlet spring
in North America. At its peak the spring can dump as much as 800 million
gallons of frigid water into Current River. Daily flow records kept
since 1921 show an average of 256 million gallons per day flow from
the spring. Dye tracings have shown the water comes from as far away
as Willow Springs, 50 miles as the crow flies.
For centuries Big Spring has been a popular gathering place on hot summer
days. Now managed as part of the National Park Service, Ozark National
Scenic Riverways, the spring is part of a large park that includes trails,
campgrounds, a dining lodge and picnic pavilions suitable for large
groups. Also part of the park is an historic area with rental cabins
built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era program that
created jobs for the unemployed.
Canoe rentals in Van Buren will put you in Current River and pick you
up at the park.

There is a similar Dialogue in the Dark experience in Hamburg.
The Dialogue Museum in Frankfurt offers an incredible experience for the senses. Its Dialogue in the Dark exhibition challenges sighted visitors to find their way in the pitch-black world that blind people inhabit, giving a taste of a life without vision. For children aged seven and above.
There are no collections on display at Frankfurt's Dialogue Museum. In fact, there's nothing to see at all, but there's plenty to hear, feel, smell and taste. This is not a simulation of blindness, but rather an adventure using (nearly) all your senses. Children, in particular, often find this easier than adults. Learn what it is like to experience your surroundings when you can't see anything at all. In the dark the most ordinary situations turn into journeys of discovery. Even a walk in the park can be transformed into an incredible adventure. Without the blind guide who walks through the darkness with remarkable ease, you would be completely lost. The environment takes on a new quality, leaving sighted visitors disoriented and dazzled and making them see things in a new way. Don't worry though, you will not be left on your own; visually impaired guides take the sighted visitors around the Dialogue in the Dark exhibition. In complete darkness, you are led through various different areas, feeling Braille writing and realising just how important it is to always remain in contact with one another.
In front of the entrance, everything is brightly lit. But behind the doors lies a pitch-black world of darkness. In six completely light-free interactive rooms that replicate everyday situations, you can experience what it's like for people who cannot see. At the Dialogue Museum there's nothing to see, but there's plenty to hear, feel, smell, taste and experience.

$18 for a Baby Aspirin? Hospitals Hike Costs for Everyday Drugs for Some Patients
Thousands of patients excluded from Medicare coverage when labeled as outpatients.
MONDAY, April 30, 2012 (Kaiser Health News) — Sudden chest pains landed Diane Zachor in a Duluth, Minn., hospital overnight, but weeks later she had another shock — a $442 bill for the same everyday drugs she also takes at home, including more than a half dozen common medicines to control diabetes, heart problems and high cholesterol.
"I just couldn't believe some of these prices they charge," said Zachor, 66. "It's just atrocious."
For the price she was charged for her insulin during her 18 hour stay at St. Luke's Hospital, Zachor would have enough to cover her out-of-pocket expenses for a three-month supply under her private Medicare Advantage plan if she had been home. The tab for one water pill to control high blood pressure could buy a three-week supply. And the bill for one calcium tablet could have purchased enough for three weeks from the national chain pharmacy where she gets them over-the-counter.
Even though her health plan covers medical and drug expenses, her policy did not pay the hospital drug bill because St. Luke's never formally admitted her. Instead, billed the visit as observation care, which is considered an outpatient service.
That observation label excludes thousands of patients every year from full Medicare coverage; many have spent more than a day in the hospital and had regular hospital rooms and service and, like Zachor, never realized they were not admitted. These observation patients might wind up paying a larger share of their hospital bill than inpatients, since they usually have a co-payment for doctors' fees and each hospital service.
For the price she was charged for her insulin during her 18-hour stay at St. Luke's Hospital, Diane Zachor would have enough to cover a three-month supply under her private Medicare Advantage plan.
But Medicare doesn't pay at all for routine drugs that observation patients need for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol — drugs that Zachor could have brought from home if the hospital allowed it and she had time to get them. Medicare also has no rules for what hospitals can bill for non-covered drugs, so they can charge any amount.
It's an unwelcome surprise for patients who may not get the bad news until they receive a hospital bill. Medicare has no rules requiring hospitals to tell patients when they are in observation status or that they will be responsible for paying any non-Medicare-covered services, said Ellen Griffith, a spokeswoman for the U. S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
"St. Luke's carries out 'observation' and all other health care policies as prescribed by Medicare rules," said Mary Greene, a St. Luke's Hospital representative, in an e-mail. She referred any questions to Medicare.
Observation Claims Rising
Excessive drug prices have also surprised seniors in other parts of the country:
- In Missouri, several Medicare observation patients were billed $18 for one baby aspirin, said Ruth Dockins, a senior advocate at the Southeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging.
- Pearl Beras, 85, of Boca Raton, Fla., said in an interview that her hospital charged $71 for one blood pressure pill for which her neighborhood pharmacy charges 16 cents.
- In California, a hospital billed several Medicare observation patients $111 for one pill that reduces nausea; for the same price, they could have bought 95 of the pills at a local pharmacy, said Tamara McKee, program manager for the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program at the Alliance on Aging in Monterey County, Calif., who handled at least 20 complaints last year from Medicare beneficiaries about excessive hospital drug bills.
The most recent government statistics show the number of observation claims that hospitals submitted to Medicare rose 46 percent to 1.4 million from 2006 to 2010 and the number of cases lasting longer than 48 hours more than tripled.
The American Hospital Association, in a 2010 letter to Medicare officials, said several factors explain that growth, including increasingly restrictive Medicare criteria hospital admissions and rising use of audits to monitor hospital decisions and billing. In addition, it said, physicians sometimes try to keep seniors in the hospital because they may not be well enough to be home, even when they are not sick enough to be admitted.
"I don't blame the hospitals," said attorney Gill Deford at the Center for Medicare Advocacy, based in Connecticut, which has filed a nationwide class action lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of observation patients who are ineligible for Medicare coverage for nursing home care when they leave the hospital. The suit seeks to either eliminate observation status or require hospitals to tell patients when they are admitted for observation and allow them to appeal the designation. "This is a big money-saver for the Medicare program," he added.
Medicare officials recommend to hospitals — but do not require — that patients remain under observation for no more than 24 to 48 hours. After that, the patients should be switched to inpatient status or discharged, the officials recommend. But patients can linger in observation for several days and often don't know they haven't been admitted.
Price Inflation
Since the program does not limit the prices for drugs that Medicare doesn't cover, that can create an opportunity hospitals may find hard to resist.
Hospitals use their pharmacies to help generate revenue to subsidize the other operating costs of the facility, said Miriam Mobley Smith, dean of the College of Pharmacy at Chicago State University. She said the "upcharge" is based on numerous factors including personnel, insurance and facility costs. "I'm not justifying the charges, but there's a huge difference between the cost of operating a retail pharmacy compared to a hospital pharmacy."
Even patients with private Medicare Part D drug insurance may find that their policies don't cover their everyday — or "self-administered" — drugs given to them in the hospital. "These drugs may be covered under certain circumstances," according to the Medicare website. But there is no requirement that Part D beneficiaries must be fully reimbursed for these drugs.
Dockins said requiring hospital pharmacies to participate in the Medicare Part D drug plans would help control pricing because the beneficiaries would get discounts negotiated by the plan.
To avoid drug charges, Dockins tells seniors to bring their medicine in the original pill bottles when they go into the hospital. But hospitals are not required to let patients use their own medicine from home, said Leta Blank, coordinator for Montgomery County, Md.'s, Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program.
Dockins suggests that low-income seniors apply for a hospital's charity care program so that the charges can be waived or reduced, if they qualify.
Zachor, who works as an office manager for the Minnesota Citizens Federation, a consumer advocacy group, contacted her Medicare Advantage plan to appeal its decision to not cover her hospital drug bill. In February, her insurer said it requires hospitals with which it contracts "to notify a member before delivering a non-covered service." Because the hospital didn't obtain Zachor's written consent to accept those charges, the plan's rules say the hospital cannot bill her for them.
However, other Medicare Advantage plans — which cover about a quarter of Medicare's 48 million beneficiaries — may simply follow the traditional Medicare program, which does not require advance notice. Beneficiaries should check with their insurance companies.
Zachor's $442 drug bill was scrapped. She has to pay only $50, the co-pay for an emergency room visit.
"What if I didn't know there was a route to go to appeal to my plan," Zachor said. "I was thinking about other people older than myself who don't know what to do and they would probably have to go without food or medications — for how long — to pay a bill they didn't have to pay."

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - CBS cut away from the dramatic conclusion of the Sony Open men's final on Sunday, switching to the tipoff of the NCAA tournament game between Michigan and Florida.
Andy Murray rallied past David Ferrer 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1), and the network ended its telecast when the third set went to the tiebreaker. Tennis Channel televised the end of the final, and CBS later showed a replay of match point.
The match began at 11:30 a.m. and lasted two hours 45 minutes, running beyond its allotted TV time. Tournament director Adam Barrett said CBS officials had a commitment to show the basketball.

In this hectic world, we all need a place of our own to relax and unwind. Just getting away from all the distractions and demands of life and escaping into quiet, tranquil space can do a lot to make stress slip away. Creating a sacred space or meditation sanctuary may be just the diversion you need to make your home environment into a peaceful retreat. Or perhaps you know someone who would appreciate the joys of transforming their garden into an oasis of inspiration.
Zen in Your Garden: Creating Sacred Spaces will show you how to employ all the aesthetic principles of Japanese Zen gardening into any open space, large or small. Here, you will learn all the basics of transforming your garden using the basic tenets of Zen design, incorporating lush water gardens, paths, rock gardens, ponds and streams with lush greenery and ambient lighting. The gorgeous full color photography and poetry in this book will provide a guided tour of Zen gardening that is sure to inspire your imagination.
While Zen is now considered a very Japanese philosophy, its roots actually go back to India, circa 500 A.D., starting with an Indian monk named Bohdidharma. When he came to China and began studying Taoism, it colored his Buddhist beliefs and started a brand of thought known as Cha'an in China and Son in Korea. Eventually, it became known as Zen in Japan. While Buddhism was already well known in Japan by 600 A.D., it took another 300 years for Zen to become a staple of Japanese religious thought.
Some of the most enduring principles of Zen's influence on Japanese gardening are seen in the myriad displays of Zen symbolism. Nearly every element of design used in the Japanese Zen garden has some relationship to this ancient philosophy, infusing every ornament, plant, stone, bridge and pond with meaning.
Zen in Your Garden: Creating Sacred Spaces, by Jenny Hendy, offers all the guidance you need to start creating your own tranquil garden. It also makes a great gift for someone you love.

OfQuack: protecting the public from quack nutritional therapists?
There are many nutritional therapists who will give responsible, evidence and science-based advice. What is OfQuack doing to ensure their nutritional therapists don't mislead the public? Their new 'therapy descriptor' needs careful analysis.
I blogged a few days ago about the investigation by the consumers' organisation Which? that revealed nutritional therapists giving dangerous and misleading advice — most of those investigated were members of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT).
In 2009, BANT passed any regulatory responsibilities they had on to OfQuack, aka the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, and they have just published a revised 'therapy descriptor' for nutritional therapy.
This version has been revised — and the previous one removed — after discussion with the Advertising Standards Authority. Presumably this new one is accepted as being compliant with the CAP Code — the Code all advertisers have to abide by in their advertising, whether in the media or on their own websites.
Which nutritional therapist?
Nutritional therapists are a varied bunch and come in several 'flavours', with the science and evidence-based practitioners at one end of the spectrum and at the other, what @skepticstu on Twitter referred to as the 'Supplement Salesforce'.
At this far end, some seem to think many ills — particularly chronic conditions — are due to dairy intolerance or wheat intolerance, or both or 'toxins', or 'imbalances', or 'chemicals', or deficiencies. And, of course, they have just the personalised detoxification or supplement for you to address the 'underlying causes' of your health issues. And they may make extensive use of iridology, hair mineral analysis and applied kinesiology tests to work out your own, optimum health, individualised, holistic, supplement plan. For a price. All major credit cards accepted.
Others, I am sure, give good, evidence-based diet advice without a supplement in sight. They are not the problem here.

In When Work and Family Collide, Andy Stanley described the importance of balancing family life and your work schedule. He has seen the effects of people choosing their job over maintaining a relationship with their spouse and children. At one point or another we have to cheat someone or something somewhere. We can decide to cheat the job or cheat our family. We can't be everything to all people and there is no possible way to be involved in everything. Is working so hard and long hours in order to obtain the American dream really worth neglecting your family of their needs? This book shared many personal stories and steps to achieve a balance between work and family. The most critical step is to make a decision to spend time more time with your family. The next part of the step is making a plan on how you will do this. Making a decision and not following through won't accomplish the task of being the father or wife you were created to be. He will take you through Daniel's story with the King and show you how Daniel handled his situation. Andy Stanley encouraged readers to try a plan for thirty days and see how their lives will change for the better.
The book was previously released as Choosing to Cheat.
Here is a thought provoking revelation from the book:
"One day you'll come home from the office for the last time. Nobody retires from his or her family to spend his or her final days in the office. Your last day may be at sixty-five when you retire or at thirty-five when you're laid off. Either way, you're coming home. What and who you come home to will be determined by how you live out your priorities between now and then" (Page 130).
I would recommend this wonderful book to every family and those who are planning to have a family one day. Some might not even have children but this book is still relevant and the message is still needed. There needs to be a balance and structure for our families. It's important to not let work became the God of your life. Yes, we must work in order to live but in the process, we can't forsake our family members who desperately want our love and support. This is the first book that I have read by Andy Stanley and he did a magnificent job at revealing the steps one must take in order to not cheat on your family. He didn't sugarcoat the message of saying that we are all cheaters. We tend to not consider that cheating isn't just with another person. Our jobs schedules are cheating many families right now. Maintaining and finding the balance between the office and home are the main important keys! This book will assist readers to start to learn how to say no to working long hours every single night. We can choose to stay at the office until everything is done. But we must face the truth that everything will never be completely finished! The work will still be there tomorrow. Your family though may not be!

|Head Football Coach
After leading the 2013 football team to a record of 9-2 and the program's fifth NCCAA Victory Bowl appearance, interim head football coach Robbie Schomaker was appointed as Greenville College's eighth head football coach. The 2013 squad broke numerous team records in extending a winning streak spanning two seasons to 17 games and winning nine games in a season for the first time in GC football history. The 2013 team also received votes in the NCAA Division III AFCA national coaches poll.
Schomaker came to Greenville College in 2010 after four seasons of coaching. Schomaker previously coordinated the offense and coached the quarterbacks. The Panthers finished in top 10 in the NCAA Division III for rushing yards with an average in excess of 300 yards per game each year Schomaker served as offensive coordinator.
In addition, he helped develop 11 first team all-Conference Players, including two UMAC offensive player of the year winners and an NCCAA offensive player of the year.
His 2011 offense ranked third in the country with 501 yards per game. The team also led the conference in rushing yards, total yards, and points in 2011 and 2012. The offense Greenville runs is organized and implements a fast-paced, no huddle, shotgun triple option system.
As recruiting coordinator, Schomaker implemented and organized a national and local recruiting system. He oversaw successful recruiting trips to California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas while creating a system of weekly recruiting letters and emails. Greenville's three largest recruiting classes were secured under his leadership with an average of 65 new players each season from 2010-12.
Before Greenville, Schomaker was at Trinity International University where he spent four seasons as the offensive line coach and two seasons as the special teams coordinator. Coach Schomaker received his bachelor's degree in business management at Trinity International in 2005 where he was a two year starter at defensive end.
Schomaker and his wife Annie were married in June 2009.

A popular conference hosted by Hope College for educators has returned for an eighth year.
The annual "Midwest Brain and Learning Institute" is convening at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center at Hope on Monday-Friday, June 23-27. Co-sponsored by Hope and the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District, the institute is being attended by 125 educators from local school districts as well as Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Ohio and Texas.
The institute is intended for educators who work with students of all age levels, including pre-school teachers, K-12 educators and college professors. The event is organized particularly with educators from West Michigan in mind but regularly draws attendees from throughout the state and beyond. This year's institute is focusing on "Technology and the New Brain."
The program's format itself has been designed in light of the research and emphasizes the guiding principle that learners must be actively involved. The institute's settings have been varied to include whole-group presentations, question-and-answer panels, small-group learning clubs and opportunities for informal discussion. Enrollment is capped at 125 in keeping with the organizers' goal of enabling all of the participants to be actively engaged.
Monday is focusing on system change in education. The keynote speaker is Alan November, co-founder of the Stanford University Institute for Educational Leadership through Technology.
Tuesday is examining neuroscience and learning. The keynote speaker is G. Christian Jernstedt, who is director of the Center for Educational Outcomes, an adjunct professor of community and family medicine, and a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth College.
Wednesday is considering the diversity of learners from a biological perspective. The keynote speaker is David Ross, who is director of the Center for Applied Technology (CAST) and co-author of "Universal Design for Learning."
Thursday is exploring neuroscience implications for classroom practice. The keynote speaker is Marcia Tate, who is a consultant and author of "Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites!"
Additional presenters include Ronna Alexander, a local artist and graphic organizer who will graphically record all the presentations and events for the week; and Cindy Strunk, who is an educator from Waco, Texas, a National Board Certified Teacher and a Susan Kovalik Associate, who will provide opportunities to consider appropriate movement options that will enhance learning in the classroom and school.
The institute will conclude Friday morning with a session led by the institute's staff to help the participants determine ways that they can integrate the program's information into their own practice as educators.

These are so brilliantly done I had to reblog it!
My friend Darren sent me a linkto these rather excellent alternative London Underground signs…
(click image above for link to original photographers blog)
Apparently they've been appearing for some time now, but like 99% of passengers, I'm sad to say I've missed them..
They've been done so well, that to a regular commuter, their utter familiarity as part of an accepted, everyday visual clutter, results in them becoming almost invisible, losing all meaning beyond their colour and shape..
Well it's a lesson learnt for me. I usually pride myself on at least attempting to see beyond the day to day, and resist the automatic filters that city life can generate.
Rest assured, that I will certainly be keeping a much sharper lookout for these signs from now on… How I would've loved to have noticed Shepherd's Pie, overground, Gas mark 4 on a journey into work, it would have…

Invasive wood-killing wasp found in N.Y.
Species responsible for devestation of pine forests
Associated Press
ITHACA, N.Y. - The discovery of a pernicious wasp in New York, the first time it's been found in the wild in this country, has scientists worried about a scourge that has devastated pine forests in other parts of the world.
E. Richard Hoebeke, a Cornell University entomologist, collected the Old World woodwasp on Sept. 7 in Fulton County northwest of Albany as he sifted for bark beetles caught in screening traps. He identified the adult female bug on Feb. 19.
The invasive insect species, Sirex noctilio Fabricius, has ruined up to 80 percent of pine trees in areas of New Zealand, Australia, South America and South Africa, Hoebeke said. If established in the United States, it would threaten pines coast-to-coast, particularly in the pine-dense Southeast. One target would be loblolly pines in Georgia.
The woodwasp, which is native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa, kills pines and sometimes other conifers by introducing a toxic mucus and spores of a toxic fungus when the female lays her eggs through the bark and into the sapwood.
The only other woodwasp in the United States was found in 2002 in Indiana but that was in a warehouse, not the wild, Hoebeke said.
"Whenever you find an insect in a trap, it probably is established," he said.
Federal and state regulatory agencies currently are setting multiple traps in places they suspect the woodwasp might be found.
"The potential damage from this exotic woodwasp could be monumental," Hoebeke said.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will test areas around where Hoebeke found the woodwasp. If one of those, or another species of interest, is found, the researchers will set traps in greater density to determine the scope of infestation, said Dore Mobley, a spokeswoman for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
Because the bug likes stressed wood, scientists will also examine facilities such as mills that make packaging materials out of wood that is unfit for uses like construction. They'll also use aerial photography to identify stands of pine that look unhealthy.
Douglas Allen, a forest entomologist with The College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, said he thinks the pest whose primary taste runs toward the Monterey pine could easily develop a liking for other pines in this country.
"I certainly think the threat is real," he said. "The big question is, `How much of it is there. It may just be there was one. That's the best case."
The wasp is about an inch long and has a broad waist and distinct antennas.
Since 1985 U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service inspectors have intercepted seven male woodwasps at border points; all had come with tile and marble imports from Spain and Italy.
Experts suspect the female trapped in Fulton County probably hitchhiked into the area on a wooden crate or in packing material.
A biological control method using a parasitic nematode has been effective in other countries in the southern hemisphere where the woodwasp has been accidentally introduced, Hoebeke said.
He published a report on his discovery in a recent issue of the Newsletter of the Michigan Entomological Society.

Eldon Animal Shelter
Related Story
ELDON - Some residents are outraged following allegations that two Eldon police officers abused two dogs at the Eldon animal shelter. The allegations surfaced on Facebook and quickly went viral. Friends of Animals - a local animal rescue - posted Saturday on its Facebook page that, "two dogs being held together (male and female) were forced apart while mating... a very brutal and extremely painful incident. Those involved would never confess involvement, but it was indeed two of our Eldon police officers." On Sunday the animal rights group Saving Dogs of Missouri jumped in on its Facebook page and alleged that when the officers found the dogs mating they "could not get them apart so they literally beat them and had to be taken to the local vet to be euthanized."
Rene Ward who originally wrote the post on the Friends of Animals page said she heard about the condition of the two dogs from the veterinarian who cared for the animals.
"They had been taken to the vet's clinic for euthanasia. The vets noticed it and acted on it immediately. The owner of the clinic called and asked the mayor of Eldon for answers as to why animals were brought to her in that condition," said Ward. "When we found out about it, of course, we called the Agriculture Department for them to come down and take a look at it as well."
Ward said she knows the Department of Agriculture talked to the clinic where the dogs were taken, but was unaware of any further action by the department.
Ward said the allegations of abuse follow a pattern of the unresponsiveness from the animal shelter under a new mayor. Ward says the Friends of Animals used to work together with the animal shelter to provide food, vaccinations and homes for the animals, but that started to change in a few months ago.
"We started to notice a few things," said Ward. "Nobody wanted to work with us which really we didn't understand because we were able to help in so many ways. To turn away the help of a no-kill shelter just doesn't make any sense."
Eldon Mayor Ronald Bly refused to go on camera Monday afternoon because he said the incident was under investigation, but did call the claims false and "ridiculous." Bly told KOMU 8 News that he was aware the incident happened and two dogs were injured at the shelter that had to be euthanized, but police officers did not abuse the animals. Bly said there would be a report on the alleged abuses during the Eldon City Council meeting on Tuesday. Bly went on to say that when he talked to the veterinarian that cared for the two dogs no signs of abuse were found.
When Bly reports his findings on the alleged abuse during the city council meeting Tuesday evening at 6, he's likely to have an audience for that and a proposed ordinance that changes the laws of when animals at the shelter can be euthanized. The same Facebook posts that went viral about the alleged abuses also urged residents to attend Tuesday's council meeting.
The proposed city ordinance states "after 30 days of impoundment, all dogs and cats not claimed by the owner or released to any other person as set forth above, shall be euthanized." The current city ordinance states that "any dog that is not redeemed within seven days after impoundment may be euthanized by the Animal Control Director or other designated person, or released to any person other than the owner, upon payment of a $20 fee."
One of the main differences between the ordinances is the use of the word "may" and "shall." Ward believes the ordinance would require animals to be put down following 30 days while the original language gave discretion to the animal control director.
Bly told KOMU 8 News he believes the proposed ordinance extends the time an animal can be kept in the shelter without being euthanized. When KOMU 8 News went to the shelter, at least one animal still there had been taken into the shelter nearly 240 days ago - in April of 2012.
One worker at Friends of Animals said the alleged abuses are the final straw.
"It's just really changed," said Susan Villarreal. "And now with this incident coming to light, we've gotta do something. We have to band together and make it stop."

The last decade has been something of a whirlwind for traditional media. Old school stereotypes of trench coats, smoky newsrooms and 4pm deadlines have been replaced with 24-hour reporting, the internet and social media.
Despite the challenges that traditional media has faced and will continue to face in the near future, the 2012 Edelman Trust Barometer, published last week, revealed some extremely positive news for the world's media.
They were the only industry that saw a global increase in trust.
In a time in which there is global disillusion with government, business leaders and traditional figures of authority, the role of the media to provide the public with facts, transparency and both sides of the story is more important than ever.
I do not think this comes as a surprise. In a world of economic uncertainty I believe that it is only natural that we turn to the industry built on the grounds that it provides accurate and fair information, designed to educate us on important issues.
While trust in all media, that is traditional, social and online, saw an increase in trust, i believe that the biggest opportunity to affirm itself as the place we turn to first for news lies with traditional media.
Traditional media have the advantage of being long-established news outlets with a rich background in news reporting. However, in order to truly fulfil this potential, they must ensure that they embrace the modernism's that have changed their industry, and continue working towards providing a diverse and content- rich service.
The Edelman Trust barometer also indicated a 75% increase in trust in social media, a figure very difficult to ignore. While traditional media have made great progress in incorporating this into reporting, I believe that there is still much more room for improvement.

Bill Telepan's fresh free-form ravioli are filled with broccoli and cheese, then boiled and baked until crisp at the edges.
How to Make It
Blanch the basil in boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze dry. In a mini food processor, puree the basil with 1/2 cup of the oil. Season with salt and transfer to a small bowl.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broccoli, 1/2 cup of water and the butter, cover and cook over moderately low heat until tender, 10 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely puree the broccoli in a food processor; transfer to a bowl. Stir in the ricotta and 1/4 cup of the pecorino and season with salt.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a pasta machine, roll the lasagna sheets through the thinnest setting. Cut the sheets into twelve 4-inch squares. Cook the squares in the water until tender, 2 minutes. Drain, pat dry and rub with oil to prevent sticking.
Preheat the oven to 425°. Coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling into the center of each pasta square. Fold the squares into triangles; arrange in the dish. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the pecorino. Bake on the top rack for 10 minutes, until the cheese starts to brown. Drizzle with the basil oil and serve, passing more cheese at the table.

Economist Keith Chen starts today's talk with an observation: to say, "This is my uncle," in Chinese, you have no choice but to encode more information about said uncle. The language requires that you denote the side the uncle is on, whether he's related by marriage or birth and, if it's your father's brother, whether he's older or younger.
[ted_talkteaser id=1670]
"All of this information is obligatory. Chinese doesn't let me ignore it," says Chen. "In fact, if I want to speak correctly, Chinese forces me to constantly think about it."
This got Chen wondering: Is there a connection between language and how we think and behave? In particular, Chen wanted to know: does our language affect our economic decisions?
Chen designed a study — which he describes in detail in this blog post — to look at how language might affect individual's ability to save for the future. According…

SAN ANTONIO - An Air Force basic training instructor has been sentenced to 45 days' confinement for being sexually involved with a female trainee on a Texas base rocked by a sex scandal.
Staff Sgt. Jason Manko was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to wrongfully seeking an intimate relationship and wrongfully engaging in sexual activity with a trainee.
Manko also was reduced to an airman first class during a special court-martial at the Lackland base in San Antonio. He was ordered to forfeit $500 in pay per month for three months and given 30 days' hard labor.
He's among more than a dozen instructors investigated in a scandal that led to charges against six. Manko is the fifth to be sentenced.
More than 40 women have been identified as victims. The investigation continues.

A warm welcome to our CATISA website, Cassava Transformation in Southeastern Africa. This development-oriented research project focuses on the commercialization of cassava production in four countries:
- Malawi
- Mozambique
- Tanzania
- Zambia
Cassava commercialization offers high potential for improving food security in drought-prone areas of the region. In West Africa, a combination of improved cassava processing and food preparation methods with planting of high-yielding varieties, namely the TMS (Tropical Manioc Selection) triggered a surge in the cassava transformation from a rural food staple to a cash crop produced and processed into convenient food products for rural and urban consumption. As a result, real prices of cassava relative to competing staples declined thereby improving food security for both rural and urban populations while expanding employment opportunities in cassava production, processing and marketing.
Based on a value chain approach and a comparative regional perspective, the proposed project will examine the cassava transformation as it begins to unfold in Southeastern Africa.
The project aims to provide proactive research for development initiatives addressing the chronic and transient food crisis situation in Southeastern Africa.

Cadillac XLR Fuel Pump Assembly FOR SALE
Cadillac XLR Fuel Pump Assembly by Year+
The Cadillac XLR Fuel Pump Assembly comes with the fuel pump and all its associated components. The fuel pump supplies fuel to the internal combustion engine from the fuel tank. There are two kinds of fuel pumps: electric and mechanical. Electric pumps are usually located inside the fuel tank and they supply fuel under high pressure to the fuel injection system. Mechanical pumps are fitted alongside the engine and they pump the fuel at low pressure to the carburetor. They are powered by the engine's camshaft. A twin pump system is used in vehicles which have the fuel tank fitted far from the engine. It has a supply pump that pumps the fuel at a lower pressure. A second fuel pump, which is close to the engine, builds the fuel pressure to the desired level. Failure to start and stalling of the automobile may indicate a faulty fuel pump.
If you are looking for a high-quality Cadillac XLR Fuel Pump Assembly, you have come to the right place. Buy Auto Parts stocks a wide selection of OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts for every car make and model.

[Editor's note: This article was originally hosted on MyFamilyDoctorMag.com, our sister site.
It's now featured here as part of our new general-health section.]
by Leigh Ann Otte
In 2009, we asked two doctors to debate the pros and cons of President Barack Obama's health-care plan. Back then, the plan was an idea. Now, it's a law, the Affordable Care Act. (Opponents derisively call it Obamacare.)
Some of the details of Obama's health-care plan have changed since 2009, but the overall goals remain similar. For example, as planned back then, insurance companies will soon not be allowed to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. And small businesses now get a tax credit to help them provide health insurance.
You can see more highlights of the current Affordable Care Act at Obama's website. (Of course, given the source, they're highlighted with a positive spin.)
Rules of Engagement
We invited each participant to write an argument, then read the opponent's argument and write a rebuttal. Neither was allowed to read the other's initial argument before writing his own, and neither could read the other's response before rebutting.
We asked our debators, if the United States does adopt a universal health-care plan, is Obama's headed in the right direction? Here's their take.
You can share your opinion in the comments section below the debate.
Home remedies + science = do-it-yourself survival medicine! Get prepared for disasters with TheSurvivalDoctor's e-books.
Pro argument: "The Obama health-care plan is headed in a positive direction."
Patrick Whelan, M.D, Ph.D., practicing rheumatologist and director of Catholic Democrats, "a national non-profit organization of concerned Catholics."
The Obama health-care plan is headed in a positive direction by all historic indicators.
It began with February's expansion [2009] of the State Children's Health Insurance Program after years of failure, providing insurance to millions of additional vulnerable children. Then, the passage of the economic stimulus bill helped states maintain current levels of care for their poorest citizens. Now, a new secretary, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, with a dedicated commitment to the common good has been nominated. [Sebelius was sworn in as health secretary in 2009.]
The administration has undertaken a summit [in 2009] at the White House to explore all the possibilities, with four particularly key objectives.
The first is finding ways to insure every American. At a time of foreclosures and job losses, the last worry anyone needs is whether they can get thoughtful care with appropriate follow-up if an emergency befalls them. Current law provides for continued insurance under COBRA if a job is lost, but this is incredibly expensive for families—particularly if someone has no job. But SCHIP expansion aside, more than 40 million people still have no insurance.
A second objective has been transparency, so the remarkably expensive enterprise of medical care doesn't become a new pork barrel of inefficiency. This leads to the third goal: cost efficiency.
Tremendous efficiencies are possible because they are currently being achieved by our economic competitors around the world. Increased health-care efficiencies were probably the leading engine for the economic expansion during the 1990s. The United States currently has the developed world's most inefficient system, costing more than twice as much as other systems while performing poorly on many health indices.
Thus, a fourth goal is heightened quality, like that supported by the significantly expanded medical research in the stimulus bill. Better health, after all, is a goal shared by everyone, and Obama has moved us a giant step closer by forcefully articulating these four objectives.
Con argument: "President Barack Obama's health-care plan at best is not reform at all."
President Barack Obama's health-care plan at best is not reform at all, and at worst will expand the poorest performing segments of our health-care system and further erode what little choice currently exists at the individual patient and provider level.
"Universal health-care coverage," according to the president's plan, would be largely driven by enrollment in public programs, such as Medicaid and SCHIP, in which the government sets benefit levels and provider reimbursement rates. Being nominally "covered" in a public health insurance program is of little value if prohibitively low reimbursement rates and administrative hassles prevent physicians from accepting you as a patient.

Nov. 15— (HE)— President Roosevelt warned congress today that there has been a "marked" industrial recession and proposed that it be combatted by quick action on his legislative program and by revising tax laws, particularly to aid small business men but also to remove inequalities to all. He said in a message to the legislators as they assembled in special session that the business decline has not reached "serious proportions" and cautioned that with the exercise «f "ordinary prudence" there is no reason why "we should suffer any prolonged recession, let j Parted thar the "ideT of fear te-alone any general economic paralysis." RELIGION S SIGNIFICANCE R|ue |<ev STRESSED TODAY ^ 7 y Drive To Open Honorary Society Starts 'T oie-a-T ro j an' Campaign Today IN PHILOSOPHY FORUM "Religion is the most natural vehicle for the expression of the higher emotions," said Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the school of philosophy, in commenting on "The Significance of Religion," the lecture he will give this afternoon at 4:15 in the Bowne room. Mudd Memorial hall of philosophy. This lecture is the third in a * called "The Survival of the series, West." ''Pear has been incorrectly taken as a source of religion," stated Dr. Flewelling. "The true source is awe and reverence for that which we think is greater than ourselves," he continued, "because fear is psychologically an inhibition and has no power to create religion." The lecturer contends that religion rids the human spirit of con-flictive influences of fear and makes it conscious of a new freedom in which it can find loving self-expression. He explained that it is exactly in this release from fear and inhibitions that religion becomes the greatest inspirer of the creative imagination.

If private enterprise does not respond, government must take up the slack." He appealed to congress and the nation as a whole to cooperate.

The Liberal government has nominated former governor-general David Johnston as the first debates commissioner, tasked with organizing two leaders' debates to be held during the 2019 federal election.
Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould announced Tuesday the government's plan to set up an independent, non-partisan debates commission as well as the criteria for deciding which parties get to participate.
In order for a party's leader to participate in the debates, that party must meet at least two of three criteria:
- It must have at least one MP elected under that party's banner.
- It must intend to run candidates in at least 90 per cent of Canada's 338 ridings
- It must have obtained at least four per cent of the vote in the previous election or have a "legitimate chance" of winning seats, based on polling data and at the discretion of the commissioner
Meanwhile Elizabeth May has not gotten over what Stephen Harper & Thomas Mulcair did in the last debates (refusing to participate in the National Televised Debate). She is suggesting that a penalty be placed in any leader refuses to appear in National Televised Debate. Watch below

Southside Savvy
Besides Chinatown flea markets and the out-of-this-world chili at Ramova Grill, the best part about living on the Southside of Chicago is having the White Sox play in my own backyard.
Because as a Cardinals fan far removed from my old Busch Stadium stomping grounds, I know I can always find good, learned, baseball-lovin' folk at New Comiskey (only newbies and yuppies call it The Cell — so I'm told).
And on Monday night, Southsiders came out to the park in droves. It was hot. It was humid. The rain was coming down hard. But Mark Buehrle was on the mound and it's no secret that White Sox fans love them some Mark Buehrle. Over 36,000 people came out to see him duel the Royals' Brian Bannister… yes, 36,000! On a Monday night. With an hour long rain delayed start. Against the Royals.
Now that, dear readers, is some serious dedication.
Perhaps the influx of fans was due to the high hopes of a pitcher's duel.
Well, we didn't get it.
'Cuz when Yuniesky Betancourt goes yard, you know the pitching ain't so great.
Indeed, it was a back and forth battle throughout, until the Sox broke it open in the 7th inning and appeared to have the game in hand.
But Scott Linebrink seemed focused on tempting the Royals' scouts, who seem to go after the poorest of performers. Yes, Linebrink's Kyle Farnsworth impression was brilliantly played by blowing a 3 run lead in the 8th on a Mike Jacobs rocket launch over the right field wall.
Fade to black?
Not so fast. Alex Rios walked to start the bottom of the 8th. Scott Podsednik continued his 2005 renaissance with a go-ahead run-scoring double… and then later Ozzie Guillen brought in the Fat Man to seal the deal.
Sure, it was a great game and all… but the whole time I couldn't take my eyes off the guy sitting in front of me:
Indeed, White Sox fans know their baseball.
Don't hate 'em 'cuz they're right.
Don't believe me? Just ask Kevin Gregg.

Our affiliate program is free
and easy
to join. After signing up, simply log in and your customized affiliate
code will be generated for you. You can advertise your affiliate link
just about anywhere!
On your website, in a newsletter or ezine, or even sending your link to friends and associates. Once someone clicks on your link they will be transported to our web site where your affiliate referral information is logged.
When your customer makes a purchase, you will be credited with the sale!
Our affiliate program is one of the most generous revenue generating plans
online today.
While most sites pay a wimpy 5 or 10% commission, SubmittingToSearchEngines.net rewards it's affiliates well. Not only will you be paid a 40% commission once, but thanks to our automated monthly submission service, over 90% of our customers renew their subscription--each and every month!
What does this mean to you? You will be paid monthly residual commissions on all of your sales month after month after month...for the life of your customer! That's a whopping 40% commission -- every single month!
To top it off, you will be paid a 10% override for any other affiliates you refer. Click Here to Sign Up Now.. It's free to join in!
While most affiliate plans pay a one time commission, SubmittingToSearchEngines.net
pays you for the life of your referral. You'll be paid each
and every month for the life
of your customer referral, plus a
10% over ride on
all sales
from all affiliates
you refer!
Let's take a look at the numbers...
These charts are "real world" numbers, they are not overly hyped like many of those charts that claim you can earn $87,000 a month! These numbers should be very achievable for the average marketer.
While SubmittingToSearchEngines.net offers
4 different service plans, we'll base this chart on our most popular
($39.99/mo) plan without
any other affiliates under you:
Now, let's look at what happens in the second month, assuming that you have only 1 to 4 customers a day (at our intermediate level subscription plan) and they continue their monthly subscription:
You get paid again... from all last month subscribers, plus all your new subscribers!
These numbers build upon each other every month, compounding your commissions month after month.
Then, top it off with a bonus 10% over ride on all sales from all affiliates under you!
Let's look at what this override can do for you:
Suppose you have just 10 affiliates who signed up under your referral. If you've been online for a year or so, you already know that most people will do absolutely nothing in generating commissions. So, let's cut that number down to 2.
If each of those affiliates generates just 1 sale a day @ $39.99, that's $1236.9 monthly. That will pay 40% to the tier 1 affiliate totaling $494.76.
You, being the affiliate who referred that affiliate would pick up 10% of their sales ($123.69) for doing absolutely nothing (other than showing them our affiliate plan). Remember, that's just for referring 2 affiliates. Imagine referring 20 affiliates! You will NOT receive affiliate commission on products or services bought by yourself or your company.
This is not a get rich quick program, this program was developed to bring you an outstanding product and allow you to build an automatic (monthly) residual commission.
If you're tired of all those one time commissions... Now you can start building a solid monthly income, that grows bigger and bigger each and every month. Remember, your referrals become YOUR customers--for life!

The measurable cost of a pump stoppage is modest seen over its lifetime in a commercial building. However the comfort loss to building users makes a stand-by pump advisable.
Unlike in production processes, a pump stoppage in a commercial building rarely results in a loss in production. Instead, the stoppage results more in a loss of comfort.
However, the immeasurable downtime costs can be even higher if, for example, guests in a hotel are left without water.
Therefore, it is always advisable to install a stand-by pump to prevent a loss of comfort caused by an unexpected failure in the pump system.
The communication capabilities of electronically-controlled E-pumps help minimise downtime because replacement and repair work can be completed quickly in the event of a break-down.
A stand-by pump is used to prevent downtime and the consequent loss of comfort in the event of a breakdown.
Downtime costs / loss of production (Cs) is used when calculating life cycle cost LCC.

Archive for the 'Grant's Staff' Category
Photo of Lt. General Grant's Fascinating Staff at Center Point, Virginia
I ran across this excellent photo of Grant's staff pictured below in City Point, Virginia on the Army Heritage Collection Online site. According to the writing on the matting, included are: 1st Lieut. William McKee Dunn, Jr. (seated left), Lt. Col. E. S. Parker (larger man seated to left of door), and Lt. Col. Theodore Shelton Bowers (standing to right of door). That accounts for only three of the eight men pictured although it's unclear whether all of the men are in the military. A very similar photo appearing in the book, The Life of General Ely S. Parker, indicates that the building pictured was the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac and was taken in 1864 by legendary Civil War photographer Mathew B. Brady. (1) This would have been one of 22 log cabins that were built to house Grant and his staff and formed the headquarters on the James River. Originally quartered in tents, as the siege of Petersburg extended and the weather deteriorated, Grant had the cabins erected. His cabin had two rooms, one in the front for carrying on war matters and a room at the rear for his quarters. I am unsure whether this is Grant's cabin. The town is known today as Hopewell. (2)
William McKee Dunn, Jr.: Undoubtedly the youngest of the men pictured, Dunn joined the army at age 18 as a private and became an aid-de-camp to General Sullivan in March of 1863 and then to Grant in October of the same year. He served with Grant through the rest of the war eventually being promoted to captain. Sources indicate that he had occasional charge of Grant's son Jesse. (3)
Ely Samuel Parker: A highly educated Seneca Indian, Parker was refused entry to the bar and initially entry to the Union Army because of he was not considered an American citizen. He was trained as an engineer and became friends with Grant prior to the war. Grant brought him to his staff at Vicksburg. On August 30 1864, he was officially appointed as Grant's private secretary by General Order No. 249. Parker eventually rose to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General. He was frequently referred to as simply "the Indian." (1) His biography is available on Google Books here.
Theodore. Shelton Bowers: On March 8, 1866, the New York Times reported the horrific death of then General T. S. Bowers in an accident while attempting to jump on to the rail car carrying Grant after the party dropped Grant's son at West Point. You can read that account here. (4)

Earlier, I wrote about how to set up the Quick Navigation Bar (aka, "the Go box") to quickly open resources. It can be used to navigate to references as well, and in the Libronix DLS, just about everything is a reference. I'll look at two in this post: citations of Bible verses, and lexicon headwords.
The Quick Navigate Bar is already set up to open Bible references. Try it: Type
Ecc 12:12 into the Go box and hit
ENTER. Some version of the Bible should open to that verse. Which version of the Bible opens on your system depends on which resource you have set as your preferred translation (Tools | Options | Keylink…).
The Quick Navigate Bar can also be set up to navigate to other kinds of references, too. It simply needs to know what kinds of citations which data types it should expect. I've added Hebrew to my Quick Nav bar so I can type Hebrew words into the Go box to open my favorite lexicon: 1) Go to Tools | Options | Power Tools… on the main menu; 2) Choose the Quick Navigate tab; 3) Type
Bible, Hebrew into the Data Types text box; 4) OK.
Now, when you type a Hebrew lemma into the Go box (don't forget to change the keyboard with
F2, or by using the Keyboard Selector in the system tray at the bottom-right of the screen) your favorite lexicon will be opened to that word. What's more, if your favorite doesn't have that word (or doesn't have that spelling of the word), some other lexicon that does have that word will open.

He's no longer a draft prospect, he's part of the Broncos, here's the new thread to discuss Drew Lock, have at it.
I heard Back in '82, He used to be able to toss a pigskin a quarter of a mile.
OK....I'll have at it. I predict Drew Lock will, along with the current group of quality young players (Lindsay, Chubb, Sutton, Freeman, and many more), provide us with high level football for a long, long time. Not saying he will play this year, but if he gets the chance, I'm fine with it. I definitely feel like next season begins the new era of golden football.
Drew Lock has the potential of being a Good to Really Good To Great QB however as in Aaron Rodgers who sat for 3 years I can see Drew sitting for 2-3 Years in order to hone his mechanical skills. Time will tell.
He should play the first quarter this Thursday, than Rypien the second and third quarters, and Hogan the fourth. I think Rypien should get the most work as he will likely be the backup.
I think it is more likely Lock takes over #1 than Ryp getting #2, Brett is struggling to find a spot on a practice squad and at this point, i don't know that anyone will want him. .
I would be surprised if Rypien doesnt beat out Hogan and is groomed to be Locks long term back up. He has more arm talent than Hogan. His signing bonus was also the equivalent of an entire season of practice squad play.
Drew Lock? Is he even a Q yet??
Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler were "part of the Broncos". And Osweiler was given years to sit and learn behind Peyton Manning. How did that work out?
I have high hopes for Lock. But he hasn't taken a single snap in the NFL. That's the reality of the situation.

A kid in King Jay's court: My life with the Latin Kings
From Triad City Beat/ by Eric Ginsburg
My friends tell me that I take too long to tell stories. They ask when I start a story whether this will be like "Pebbles," the infamously long report I provided during our first semester of college about a hangout with a crush that involved tossing pebbles, but didn't include even a kiss. "Don't give us the Pebbles version," they say. "Just tell us what happened."
I still find myself in the middle of unnecessarily long stories with some frequency. I'm particularly self conscious about it when trying to explain the most complicated and unusual part of my life. It's often easier just to avoid telling it altogether.
That's why most people don't really know the whole story of my relationship to the Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation and its leader, except for maybe those who were there.
How could a white kid from Massachusetts at a small, private college in the South end up being so close to a Latino "gang leader" with teardrop tattoos on his face, a man now serving almost three decades in federal prison? It was a lot easier than I expected, actually, and if you'll give me the time to explain, it's actually a pretty good story. (more…)
