"There are 1.2 billion people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the world today — and that means that many countries have populations younger than ever before. Some believe that this 'youth bulge' helps fuel social unrest — particularly when combined with high levels of youth unemployment. Youth unemployment is a 'global time bomb,' as long as today's millennials remain 'hampered by weak economies, discrimination, and inequality of opportunity.' The world's 15 youngest countries are all in Africa. Of the continent's 200 million young people, about 75 million are unemployed.
On the flip side, an aging population presents a different set of problems: Japan and Germany are tied for the world's oldest countries, with median ages of 46.1. Germany's declining birth rate might mean that its population will decrease by 19 percent, shrinking to 66 million by 2060. An aging population has a huge economic impact: in Germany, it has meant a labor shortage, leaving jobs unfilled."

"As colleges and universities grapple with disruptive change in higher education, a few pioneers are taking an innovative approach to reinventing themselves and their future. For example, last November, Georgetown University's "Designing the Future(s) of the University" called on the entire campus community to explore what the Georgetown of 2030 will look like, and a July report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology set out toredefine the future of MIT's education.
"Now, the University System of Georgia is embarking on a similar mission to "Invent the Beyond," and it is opening up the process to others in higher education in a MOOC-like collaboration starting this week. In three interactive sessions, participants will visualize what learning models will look like in 15 years and explore the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and post-secondary institutions."

"This watchful, inner kind of creativity is not about making things but about experiencing life in a creative way; it's a way of asserting your own presence amidst the much larger world of nature, and of finding significance in that wider world. By contrast, our current sense of creativity is almost entirely bound up with the making of stuff. If you have a creative imagination but don't make anything, we regard that as a problem—we say that you're "blocked."
* * *
"How did creativity transform from a way of being to a way of doing? The answer, essentially, is that it became a scientific subject, rather than a philosophical one. In 1950, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford kickstarted that transition with an influential speech to the American Psychological Association. Guilford's specialty was psychometrics: during the Second World War, he helped the Air Force design tests to identify which recruits had the kinds of intelligence necessary to fly airplanes. Unsurprisingly, when it came to identifying creative people, Guilford found that you couldn't measure the auxiliary light of the soul. You had to measure something more concrete, like the production of ideas."

"For my part in the 2014 Future of Storytelling Summit, I had the pleasure of collaborating with animator Drew Christie — the talent behind that wonderful short film about Mark Twain and the myth of originality — on an animated essay that I wrote and narrated, exploring a subject close to my heart and mind: the question of how we can cultivate true wisdom in the age of information and why great storytellers matter more than ever in helping us make sense of an increasingly complex world. It comes as an organic extension of the seven most important life-learnings from the first seven years of Brain Pickings. Full essay text below — please enjoy."

"It turns out that upgrading an iPhone every two years on a 24-month phone service contract, as I've been doing, doesn't cost $199. This year it will cost me at least $649. In fact, it could cost considerably more than that if you add the miscellaneous charges that your phone carrier may impose, and the discounts that it may withhold.
"Keeping your costs under control may take some work: I discovered that a relatively new option — buying a phone on the installment plan from AT&T, my current carrier — turns out to be much cheaper for me than getting the phone through a service contract, the way I'd done it before. I didn't know that until I crunched the numbers."
Estella's take:
Jeff Sommer with NY Times dissects true pricing for the new iphone 6 and 6 Plus. The $199 base price is not as it seems; Sommer suggests researching several phone carriers to learn the actual costs of the upgraded phones. Sommer enlisted the expertise of Craig Moffett (senior analyst and partner at MoffettNathanson Research) to try and break through some of the overwhelming pricing, contracts, and discounts. Their estimates suggest prices that include service contracts at $649 and more.

"How do students best learn? How do teachers best teach?
"As a former high school physics, chemistry and math teacher, parent of three children and technology and learning director and educational consultant, answering those questions has been my life's work for over 20 years both in and out of the classroom. My passion is to help teachers incorporate strategies, methods and technology tools that foster student engagement and learning. Further, I help students understand how they learn and empower them to take control over their learning.
"In my work, I've found that research about the brain can catalyze our understanding of how students learn and how teachers, in response, should mobilize."

"In a remote Navajo community in New Mexico, there are those who lack access to the stoves and electricity that would allow them to cook with ease. Sixteen-year-old Raquel Redshirt, determined to address this issue within her community, created a low cost, easily reproducible solution.
"After researching solar ovens, Raquel found it possible to make her own with readily available materials, such as aluminum foil and paper boxes. While she enjoyed the hot meals cooked in her solar oven, she didn't stop there. Watch the above video to see how Raquel's solar oven evolved to impact her community. Her socially minded work won her an award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair this year."

"Alternative certification has grown as a means of addressing teacher shortages, especially in specific content areas, yet the programs are controversial, fueling debates over rigor, subject expertise, and the bypassing of traditional colleges of education, reports Anya Kamenetz for NPR. One in five new teachers becomes so by means other than a four-year undergraduate program or master's degree. Many are uncertified the first time they stand in front of students. Programs also vary widely in design. The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) reviews teacher preparation around the country, and for the first time has undertaken a study of "alt-cert" programs. Focused on 85 of the "most" alternative programs -- those not affiliated with an institution of higher education -- the study based evaluations on criteria such as applicants' GPA and degree of support in internships. Results were poor. Sixty-three of the 85 programs -- 74 percent -- got a "D" or "F," with for-profit programs faring worst; only 41 percent of traditional programs scored this low. Yet it's worth noting the NCTQ has been critical of traditional certification programs, too. "If traditional programs knocked it out of the park," observes Sandi Jacobs of NCTQ, "there would be less need for alternative programs."

"What does an innovation class look like?
"First, with each new group of students, Don has to teach them different skills: how not to be compliant, how to think differently, how they should challenge and confront him instead of taking his words for granted. "Right now, it is natural for kids to be compliant, to sit and listen to what their teachers have to say, without questioning. The system beats the creativity out of them. Kids have been trained that way; my first job is to unteach them". He hears new students in his class asking him what he expects them to do. His answer: "I won't tell you, you need to find your own opportunity, find collaborators, I'm only here to help you, not to tell you what to do". At the beginning, some kids freeze up because it is such a foreign and disruptive concept to them. However, they quickly grasp the benefit of it.
"During the first weeks of the class, students will identify their own opportunity to develop a project. They will formulate a plan of action and time table, find collaborators and resources, like any entrepreneur would do. "Online collaboration enables access to information, resources and mentors."

"Dive Brief:
"This is the paper accompanying Gary Stager's plenary address at the 3rd International Constructionism Conference in Vienna, Austria, August 19-23, 2014. (Link to video)
"Abstract – In this plenary address, the speaker will share three societal trends that validate and vindicate decades of leadership by the constructionism community. The growing acceptance of learning-by-making represented by the maker movement, a newfound advocacy for children learning computer programming, and even the global education crisis, real or imagined, are evidence of predictions and efforts made by constructionists being realized. This conference offers a brief opportunity for celebration before returning to the "hard fun" required to harness the momentum of these trends and improve the learning ecology.

Lake Raven - 2009 Survey Report
For assistance with accessibility on any TPWD documents, please contact email@example.com
Prepared by Jeffrey C. Henson and Mark A. Webb
Inland Fisheries Division
District 3-E, Bryan, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 27-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
The Lake Raven fish community was surveyed from June 2009 through May 2010 using electrofishing, gill netting, and trap netting. A habitat and vegetation survey was conducted in August 2009 and a spring quarter access point creel survey was conducted from March through May 2010. This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Lake Raven is a 203-acre reservoir located in Huntsville State Park. The reservoir was repaired and re-impounded in 1956 by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for recreational use.
Management History
Lake Raven has a history of producing trophy largemouth bass. The population has been managed with a catch-and-release regulation since September 1996. Largemouth bass > 24 inches may be temporarily retained in a live well or other aerated holding device and immediately weighed using personal scales. Bass weighing 13 pounds or more may be donated to the Toyota ShareLunker Program; otherwise, the fish must be immediately released. Lake Raven has been included in Operation World Record (OWR), a project designed to compare growth of selectively-bred ShareLunker largemouth bass offspring to resident bass.
Alligatorweed, hydrilla, giant salvinia, and water hyacinth have all been problem exotic plants. Hydrilla was greatly reduced following integrated treatment (herbicide and triploid grass carp) in 2001. By September 2009, hydrilla recurred and covered about 28% of the total surface acreage, requiring additional grass carp in fall 2009. Alligatorweed flea beetles were introduced in the summer of 2003 and spring of 2006. Alligatorweed was chemically treated in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and is currently not problematic. Water hyacinth continues to be a problem and was chemically treated in spring 2006, 2007, and 2008. Giant salvinia was discovered in 2009 and treated with a glyphosate herbicide. It is not impeding recreation at this time. A Houston-based bass club has agreed to remove water hyacinth and giant salvinia by hand when necessary.
Fish Community
- Prey species: The prey fish community at Lake Raven consists primarily of threadfin shad, bluegill, and redear sunfish. Gizzard shad are also present but provide limited prey.
- Catfishes: Blue catfish and channel catfish are present in Lake Raven in moderate numbers. Blue catfish are most abundant and grow to large sizes.
- Largemouth bass: Largemouth bass are abundant in Lake Raven and provide high-quality angling opportunities. The lake has a history of producing trophy largemouth bass.
- Crappie: Crappie are present but do not comprise a significant component of the fishery at Lake Raven.
Management Strategies
We will continue to monitor the largemouth bass population annually with fall electrofishing. Florida largemouth bass fingerlings will be requested for stocking when stocking criteria are met. Catfish populations will be monitored every 4 years by gill nets. Crappie populations will be monitored with an angler creel survey, as trap netting as proven ineffective at Lake Raven. An access point creel survey will be conducted in the spring of 2014. We will continue to work with park personnel to assess exotic vegetation coverage and implement integrated pest management (IPM) treatment strategies as needed including enhancement of the native aquatic vegetation community.

Wet roads after a top concern for Georgia transportation officials. The Georgia Department of Transportation employees said that rain-soaked roads and falling temperatures could produce dangerous driving conditions for Friday morning's commute.They have 1,900 employees on standby. Crews began coming in at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday and will work staggered shifts through the night. "We will have limited crews coming in and then in the deepest hours of the night is when we really will have full staffing so they are here and available to work until the situation is gone," said Jill Goldberg of the GDOT. Goldberg said that they are concerned about trees potentially coming down under the weight of ice or snow. Also of particular concern are bridges and overpass which freeze quicker, GDOT officials said."We'll have some folks out looking at those bridges that are up high, and some of those elevated ramps, just keeping a real close eye. That's where's it's going freeze if it's going to," said GDOT's Mark McKinnon.They have recently opened 11 new salt barns, including one at Spaghetti Junction which brings de-icing materials to more central locations."They are very strategically located, such as the one by Spaghetti Junction. We know that has problems a lot because it is elevated...it's very high up there. Lots of roads coming together and they're all getting air circulating around them," said GoldbergGoldberg says high elevations and bridges are the first spots to likely form black ice. GDOT officials urge drivers to check conditions before hitting the road on Friday.
"We highly recommend that people don't get out until it is lighter and you can see. Black ice is very dangerous," Goldberg. GDOT takes care of interstates first, then heavily traveled state highways on down. A good rule of thumb, if you see something that looks wet assume it's ice, especially during the early hours of Friday's commute. They say if they have to treat the roads, they plan on using a mixture of liquid and solid salts. They say they hope the new concoction will cause ice to melt quickly. "I don't think it's going to be that bad. You know people around here can't handle any kind of bad weather, so," said driver William Reed.
GDOT says motorists should be aware of potentially dangerous situations:
· Bridges, as black ice forms there first and can reform quickly
· Highest elevations in North Central and Northeast Georgia
· Fallen trees, with root systems weakened by drought and saturated by recent heavy rains, the potential exists for strong winds to cause trees to fall onto or adjacent to roadways
· Traffic signals not operating because of power outages
· High profile vehicles, as they can be difficult to control in high winds

Quick Take: Link: Buy Cisco on This Pullback
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After selling off following its earnings report, should investors run for the hills or buy more shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO)?
Stephanie Link, co-manager of Jim Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts Plus, told TheStreet's Lindsey Bell that expectations were high for the fourth quarter, which is seasonally the strongest quarter for Cisco, up 34% in 2013.
While the company beat earnings estimates, it provided weaker-than-expected guidance and announced it would be slashing 4,000 jobs, Link said. Although it was a mixed report, she found the selloff as a buying opportunity, especially when looking at the longer term. CSCO is already an Action Alerts Plus holding.
She added that Cisco was moving away from its switches and routers business, and into higher growth areas such as security, software, and services.While the macro environment remains challenging, growth in Europe and the U.S. have been strong, she said. Overall, Link is a buyer based on Cisco's low valuation, strong cash flow and positive catalysts. She added that she also likes Symantec (SYMC) on a pullback, along with Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB) and Apple (AAPL). FB and AAPL are also Action Alerts Plus holdings. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

Google CEO: Android ecosystem is about more than just tablets
Summary: Google's top executives recognize the potential and success of lower-end Android tablets, but the bigger picture here is unifying the Android experience across multiple devices.
While we continue to wait for word about a tablet from Google itself, CEO Larry Page and company might have recognized where Android's strong suit is: the lower-end of the pricing spectrum.
See also: Google's Q1: Earnings strong, revenue a smidge off
During Google's quarterly earnings conference call on Thursday afternoon, Page admitted to investors that "there's also obviously there's been a lot of success on some lower price tablets that run Android, maybe not the full Google version of Android." The most obvious examples here would have to be the glorified e-readers: Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet -- both of which start at $199.
Maintaining that this is an area where Google is going to focus on, Page asserted the importance of building an ecosystem around Android for more than just tablets.
Thus, it comes down to investing in apps and the Google Play platform, making Android a more unified experience for the end user.
Page continued:
I think people are going to get a lot more devices. We see kind of a convergence between all the services on those devices. Right now, I feel like each device you have is kind of a hassle to deal with. You're thinking about each individual device. I think that's not really right.
I think you're going to have a pretty unified experience and a great experience, from user point of view, and you won't have to manage all these devices. So I think you want to think about all these screens around you, working seamlessly and working well for you, and I think obviously tablets are important. We have Google TV. Big screens are important. Computers are important. Phones are important. All those devices are important, and I expect that they'll work well together.
At the end of the day, Page reiterated that it's not just tablets that Google needs to concerned about as there isn't "any single device out there" that is going to drive "the kind of convergence that needs to happen."

The V shaped muscle line seen on the pelvis of a really fit guy when he wears his pants low. The lines of the V "slice" right down to the hidden cock, forcing you to imagine it in vivid detail.
When that guy took off his shirt, his cock slice captivated me to the point where all I could do was stare and think about what his package would look like.

Re: Deskjet 710/720/81
0/820/100 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and WIndows 7
Having a bit of a problem. I have two machines, one is Windows XP Pro SP3 and the other is Windows 7 Pro SP1. I also have a D Link DIR655 router and am using the SharePort to access the HPDeskJet820CSE that is plugged into the back of the D Link router in the SharePort slot.
I am able to use the printer on the Windows XP Prop SP3 machine with no problems so I know that the SharePort and the USA cable are working properly.
I ran the patch and moved the three .dll files into the C3 folder as indicated in the first post. I installed SharePort and configured it for use, in this case on the USB003 port, this is what it defaulted to.
The printer is working but here is the problem. It will not eject the paper when using the Win 7 machine but will eject the paper using the Win XP machine. I did the hard reset as recommended and that did not solve the problem.
Anything I print from the Win 7 machine will not eject from the printer once it iss printed. It prints the last line of the document then stutters and errors out with a flashing green light. If I turn the printer off, the paper is ejected.
I noticed with the print jop window open that the document shows that it is being printed and then it disappears as soon as the last line of the document is printed. I think that there is a timing issue that is not allowing the print job to complete causing the document that is printed to remain in the printer instead of being ejected.
Any thoughts on this and any help appreciated.
BTW, thank for the fix. Thank you and Thank you again.
I am pretty tired of the OS support ending requiring an OS update but the legacy hardware now becomes obsolete even though it is woking fine. It kills me that I have to go out and buy "up to date" hardware when the hardware that I have is still working fine. I also have an issue with my scanner that is now "obsolete" even though it works just fine in Windows XP but not in Windows 7. You can tell how this irks me as I still use my 1980's era Pioneer Stereo System that I bought while in the Army while stationed overseas. Nothing like the sound of an LP......

Resolved. Apparently it only happens when you try to print a "Test Page" from the printer control panel. When I printed a .pdf doc, it worked just fine. Sorry for the troubles....
Thanks you again though for your patch.

It worked on my HP 712C inkjet that was hooked up to my new Windows 7 computer. However as a non-techie, I needed the (very capable) assistance of a StarTech rep to apply the patch.
Many thanks. You saved my perfectly good 10 year old printer from the trash.
Too bad Microsoft doesn't care about so many of us having to toss computers with XP that can't be upgraded to "7."

Wonderful!! My old, faithful 710c is now working perfectly with my new Dell 3440, windows 7, 64 bit.
So pleased, thanks.

Focus - American Graduate: Community Learning Centers
One of Cincinnati's- and the nation's - most pressing education issues is the high school dropout rate. On this episode of FOCUS, Kathy Lehr learns more about one local approach that has school systems from around the nation looking to Cincinnati as a model for improving student achievement and success beyond high school.
Over the past decade, Cincinnati Public Schools have created a system of Community Learning Centers – a model that ensures that their newly constructed schoolhouses are a place where students can learn and the community can feel at home.
Validating their approach, Cincinnati Public Schools recently won the NATIONAL COMMUNITY SCHOOL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE from the Coalition for Community Schools which has attracted visits from education and civic leaders from across the country, including several of New York City's mayoral candidates who wanted to better understand the "Cincinnati model".
This special episode of FOCUS is part of the public media initiative American Graduate: Let's Make it Happen. {Source: CET Learning Services Department press release}

Some may have noticed that often times, many source-built ROMs seem to have that one annoying issue that keeps them from being perfect. Solving this issue can take months and include a number of developers, testers, and contributors. However, when that fix finally does come, it's awesome. In most cases, the annoying issue is usually something like Bluetooth, Camera, or in the case of Sprint phones, WiMAX. For the Sony Xperia X10, the camera was the issue. Now, there's a fix.
XDA Forum Member scritch007 has released a fix that should help the camera start working on AOSP-derived ICS builds. As scritch007 explains:
I took the sources from Sony, and removed all the specific parts, face recognition, scenes and so on.
Used missing defines from Zte blade Ics repository.
I'm now testing with FXP CM9.1 and the default camera App
I'm running a FXP-kernel 140 or 139 but they are nearly the same.
I'm mostly using App Camera Zoom for taking picture (because it bought it when it was the one app that worked with htc wildfire ICS camera ) but the default app also takes pictures.
Not bad for the first post scritch007 ever had on XDA. The fix is confirmed working in all camera modes, including 8MP and 6MP. To install the fix, simply download the binaries and flash via ClockworkMod Recovery.
For more details, check out the original thread.

If you own a Sony Xperia device, there's a good chance you can run the software from many other Xperia devices. In fact, we've written about it a number of times. There is now a way for Xperia X10 owners to run pretty much the entire interface from the Sony Xperia S.
Released by XDA Senior Member Emperor.dk, the package includes a number of elements to help your X10 feel like a Xperia S. To use, simply download the zip and flash it in a custom recovery. If you want to uninstall, you'll have to restore a Nandroid backup—which means you should probably make a Nandroid backup.
To make the experience more complete, Emperor.dk has also included links to other applications to supplement what comes in the mod. These include the Xperia S launcher, the Xperia S lock screen, and the Xperia S CM7 theme for theme chooser. Additionally, there are links to the Xperia S fonts, more apps, and Timescape. If you enjoy the Xperia S look and feel but don't (or can't) dish out the money for an upgrade, then this is a perfect way to get the experience without buying the phone.

The march of Jelly Bean 2012 has been a massive success. With dozens of devices getting ports that at least boot and even more scheduled to get them, Jelly Bean has been like a party that everyone is invited to. Well, the fun hasn't stopped yet. In fact, it hasn't even appeared to have slowed down, as even more devices are getting Jelly Bean one way or another. The most recent legion of devices include the HTC One S, the Sony Xperia X10 Mini and the Sony Xperia X8.
XDA Senior Member fipsib, posted CM10 running on XDA for the One S which was developed by XDA Senior Member xkonni with help from XDA Forum Member intervigil. For the Xperia X10 Mini and X8, the JBMiniProject lays claim and includes XDA Recognized Developer stelios97, XDA Senior Member Daveee10, and XDA Senior Member Xmaster8, with the help of a few others.
The One S CM10 is quite functionally complete, with only a few features not working. These include the camera, USB Tethering, and a few quirky issues like echos during phone calls. Many of the issues have hotfixes that haven't been merged into the ROM yet. But aside from a few little glitches, the ROM is actually quite usable.
It's much the same on the X10 Mini, with WiFi, Camera, and Mic being the biggest issues. The X8 is a little behind, missing features like data, WiFi, Mic, Camera, and several more. These Xperia builds probably can't yet be used as daily drivers, at least not until a few more things are fixed. However, they are certainly off to a great start. While we don't normally write about tales from the grapevine, the word around is that the X10 Mini Pro is also getting a CM10 port pretty soon.
For additional information, check out the corresponding links below.

The Sony Xperia X10 was one of Sony Ericsson's first forays into the Android smartphone world, and it's been a solid product over the years. It originally shipped with Android 1.6 Donut and has since been updated to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread as recently as Fall 2009. That's almost 2 full years from when the device was originally released. For all the naysayers about Sony, they've been one of the few manufacturers to continue to support their older phones.
With the recent release of the Sony Xperia S, it's only natural to think that the X10 will finally fade off into the sunset. But there are some loyal users who have different plans. XDA Forum Members championswimmer and Tof37 have brought the Xperia S stock ROM to the X10. With the exception of the Lockscreen and Gallery, all of the apps from the Xperia S Stock ROM have been ported to the X10 along with various pieces from the Arc, Play, and Active. The ROM does have a nice caveat at the top, stating that if you are on a locked bootloader or stock kernel you will need to flash a certain zip file before flashing the ROM each time.
Head on over to the ROM thread to get more information and to thank the developers for their commitment to this solid device.

Evergreen Prepares for Cascade Conference Championships
Contact: Erik Snyder (360) 867-6537
Sports Information Director
The Evergreen State College
October 15, 2005
PORTLAND, Ore. -- This weekend the Geoduck cross country teams raced in the Cascade Invite on the course that will be used the upcoming conference and Regional I Championships. Head coach Craig Dickson used the meet to prepare both squads for success on November 5th .
"This meet gave our front runners a chance to see where they stand in the ranks for an individual trip to Nationals. With both teams not being worried about National rankings, we had the luxury of not having to take big risks, which is great when head colds are making the rounds and injuries from the increased intensity of workouts appear," said Dickson.
Dickson held two runners out of competition on the women's side leaving Evergreen four runners in the race. The Geoducks number one runner, Cayenne MacKillop, ran a strong, controlledrace to place 46th overall in 20:11. She is in striking distance ofearning aplace to Nationals. Rachel Williams was 28 seconds behind MacKillop in 62 nd place, while Kelsey Blair crossed in 94th place with a time of 22:14 and Liesl Plomski ran a 23:29 finishing 102nd .
In the men's eight kilometer race, five of the six top runners had seen the championship course before, so the group started conservatively and ran as a pack. As the race progressed Josh Klimek, Miguel Pineda and James Hudson moved strongly through the field.
Klimek finished first for Evergreen at 27:36, good for 37th place. Pineda was 13 spots back with a time of 28:03. Hudson finished just four spots later in 54th at 28:16.Jason McConnell and Joel Pearson and Patrick Murphy finished in a group claiming 95th (30:42), 96th (30:43) and 98th (30:48) places respectively with Pearson running just to get a feel for the course as he recovers from abdominal injuries. Dylan Cerling and Brian Torian rounded out Evergreen's runners with Cerling running a 33:07 for 106th place and Torian one spot behind with a time of 33:12. Evergreen races again next weekend in Caldwell, Idaho before heading back to Portland for the Cascade Conference and Region I Championships.

responds: Polybutylene (PB) piping has been
used since the mid-1970s for water supply and
in-house supply piping. Two types of PB piping
failures have led to class-action lawsuits against
PB plumbing manufacturers: leaks due to improper
installation and leaks due to defective
Early failures were found in Celcon
acetyl-plastic insert fittings (tees and elbows)
used for connections. A portion of the insert
fitting is inserted into the pipe and then clamped
in place using an aluminum or copper crimp ring
over the outside of the pipe. Leaks have also
occurred with the more recent copper and brass
insert fittings. While the earlier fitting failures
were attributed in part to defective material, the
PB industry blames current fitting leaks on
improper installation.
The industry has taken a number of steps to
reduce failures, which include detailed
installation instructions, a redesigned crimping
tool, a "go/no-go" gauge, and a suggestion to use
metal insert fittings and annealed-copper crimp
rings. These recommended methods and materials have
significantly reduced problems, and some builders
are still installing PB piping in new
But a second problem may be looming. Testimony
from a class-action lawsuit, a 1991 60
Minutes program, and an installation
instruction booklet all indicate that the piping
itself may crack and leak in some conditions. PB
piping may be particularly vulnerable where higher
levels of chlorine are present in the water supply.
If you've installed this material in
environments where there are elevated levels of
chlorine, the risk of future leaks is greater.
A PB-related class-action lawsuit has been
filed, and preliminary approval of the settlement
has been granted. You may want to reduce your own
risk and improve relations with your customers by
warning them of your concern, and providing them
with contact information regarding the class-action
lawsuit. If a qualifying leak has already occurred,
deadlines for submitting claims are as early as
August 21, 1996.

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Ask questions, address any concerns, and offer advice about how your baby is:
Feeding. Infants should be fed when they seem hungry. At this age, breastfed babies will eat about eight to twelve times in a 24-hour period. Formula-fed infants consume about 24 ounces a day. Burp your baby midway through feedings and at the end.
Peeing and pooping. Infants should have several wet diapers a day. The number of poopy diapers varies, but most breastfed babies will have three or more. Around 6 weeks of age, breastfed babies may go several days without a bowel movement. Formula-fed babies have at least one bowel movement a day. Tell your doctor if you have any concerns about your infant's bowel movements.
Sleeping. Infants this age usually sleep about 14 hours a day, including several daytime naps and a longer four- to five-hour stretch at night.
Developing. By 1 month of age, babies should:
3. Perform a physical exam with your baby undressed. This will include an eye exam, listening to your baby's heart and feeling pulses, examining the belly, and checking the hips.
4. Update immunizations.
Immunizations can protect babies from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 2 months:

Newlyweds Christina Milian and The-Dream are reportedly expecting their first child. Read more on Christina Milian's pregnancy below.
Singer Christina Milian, 27, married The-Dream, 27, on September 4 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
"The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless," a source told Us magazine.
Milian has said she planned to have children.
"Of course, I would love to have kids," she told Us earlier this summer at the premiere of Bring It On: Fight to the Finish in NYC. "I think that's some of the reasons why I do movies like this."
The-Dream, whose real name is Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash proposed to Milian with a six-carat diamond ring. And The-Dream also has spoken of having children.
"I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do," he told Us in July. "She'll make that time [to have a baby]. In the next couple of years, there'll be something around."

This Hollywood whodunit features stolen jobs
Rising production outside the Los Angeles area -- and globally -- is just part of why Tinseltown is slowly shrinking.
Hollywood may be a fantasy factory, but the film industry there is dealing with some very down-to-earth economic problems.
Some cases in point: Late last week, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, a federal bankruptcy judge approved the planned $30 million sale of Rhythm & Hues. That's the visual effects company that recently won an Oscar for its work on the film "Life of Pi" -- produced by 20th Century Fox, a division of News Corp. (NWS). Rhythm & Hues went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month after cutting 250 workers.
In February, the Times reported DreamWorks Animation SKG (DWA), which scored huge hits in recent years with such films as "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda," was planning to lay off up to 20% of its 2,200 employees this year.
And the newspaper recently quoted data from the California Employment Development Department that jobs in the state involving motion pictures, TV and sound recording fell 7.3% in January compared with the same time in 2012. And those January figures were the lowest they've been for any month since January of 2001.
What's going on in Tinseltown? Apparently, a multiplex of factors are involved, including the ongoing economic slowness, strong global competition, a growing number of film and TV productions filming outside of the state and a shrinkage in revenue from longstanding sources like DVDs while the growing digital and online markets mature.
As Gina Hall at L.A. Biz recently observed, "it's hard for Hollywood workers not to notice the Indian and Chinese companies taking more visual effects jobs and production still running off to the latest state or country to offer generous tax incentives." Australia has just secured an agreement with Walt Disney (DIS) to film the remake of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" there, thanks to a $22.5 million grant.
In fact, a municipal study released late last year said the TV and film industry in Los Angeles County alone had lost more than 16,000 jobs since 2004, which is pretty unsettling when you consider the entertainment industry is the region's fifth-largest in terms of employment.
But there are hopes that a slow but steady recovery from the recession may soon lift some boats in the entertainment business.
"My conjecture is that Hollywood thinks that with the economy turning around, it's going to be a better year in the summer and late in the year when blockbusters tend to be released," Stephen Bronars, a senior economist with Welch Consulting, told CNNMoney. "They seem to be spending more and hiring more on the production of movies."

Carol Ann McCormick, UNC Herbarium assistant curator and keen observer of nature, has been looking at the ground, too…
As I walked through an oak-hickory forest in southeastern Alamance County last weekend (October 22, 2011), I noticed some leaves with interesting … well, for lack of a better description, "chain thingies" on them. Inspired by Carrboro Citizen FLORA columnist Ken Moore to "take a closer look," I picked up a few of the leaves, to make more observations as I continued my walk, and to seek expert assistance in identifying the cause of the chain thingies.
My first observation is that I found chain thingies only on red oak leaves—which is not to say that they do not occur on white oaks, only that I did not observe any on my 90-minute walk. Second, the number of chain "links" varied from leaf to leaf: some had two dozen, some had closer to a hundred. Lastly, the chain thingies were always along the veins on the underside of the leaf.
I brought my leaves into the UNC Herbarium, and volunteer Rob Coffin opined that the chain thingies are galls—abnormal growths of plant tissue caused by a parasite (insect, fungus, or bacteria). Using the scholar's tool of choice (Google™), I found David Stephan, Extension Specialist in the Department of Entomology at N.C. State University, and the excellent "Plant Disease and Insect Clinic" website (http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/plantpath/extension/clinic/#).
Steve Seiberling, photographer extraordinaire in the Herbarium, took photos of the leaves I'd collected, and I emailed the images to David Stephan. Within minutes, Mr. Stephan replied: "Although most of the critter galls you find on oaks are caused by cynipid gall wasps, there are some caused by species in other groups. Your galls are from cecidomyiid gall midges, either Contarinia sp. or Macrodiplosis sp. An uncertain number of species in both genera produce galls on red oaks. In addition, gall midges of the genus Polystepha also are found on red oaks in NC, but their galls don't have the slitlike opening that distinguishes the other 2 genera."
A Google image search on Contarinia yielded Pear Midge (Contarinia pyrivora, Pyrus being the genus name for pear trees), bottom left photo above, and Pea Midge (Contarinia pisi, from Greek pisum= pea), bottom right photo. While neither is the midge that causes oak galls, you get the general idea that the critter is winged and tiny.
Be on the lookout for these and other galls as you enjoy winter woodlands and fields!

Red-Nosed American Pit Bull Terrier
Red-Nosed American Pit Bull Terrier
Red-Nosed Pit BullFamily: Canidae Canis lupus familiarisPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Amber Bates
The Red-Nosed Pit Bull is known for its gameness and pleasant disposition.
The Red-Nosed Pit Bull is a variation of the American Pit Bull Terrier. These dogs are athletic and non-aggressive toward humans, including children, when trained and handled properly.
The Red-Nosed American Pit Bull Terriers excel at obedience and make good guard dogs. When choosing a Pit Bull, it is important to check its bloodline. Cataracts, heart disease, and hip dysplasia are common hereditary problems.
Common Name(s) Red-Nosed American Pit Bull Terrier, Red-Nosed Pit Bull
Breed Type The Red-Nosed Pit Bull is a variation of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Originally bred for bull baiting and dog fighting, they have also functioned as working dogs on farms. The Red-Nosed Pit Bull prefers warm weather. Some localities have banned the breed.
Background The Red-Nosed Pit Bull is a result of close inbreeding of the "Old Family" strain of Pit Bulls in Ireland in the mid-1800s. These dogs made their way to the United States through immigration with their owners. Efforts have been made throughout the years to preserve the strain, but breeding with other strains has made Old Family Red-Nosed Pit Bulls less common.
Description The Old-Family Red-Nosed Pit Bull is usually red in color. Red-nosed dogs of other strains, or that are products of the breeding of various strains, may be any color. These dogs are stocky, and tend to be on the large side of normal for Pit Bulls. Average height is 18-22 inches for males and females, and average weight is 35-65 pounds, with females weighing slightly less than males.
Care and Feeding The Pit Bull diet should contain beef, poultry, brown rice, and corn. This breed needs lots of fiber and few carbohydrates. Essential fatty acids are good for the Red-Nosed Pit Bull's coat. Red-Nosed Pit Bulls shed moderately, so they require regular brushing. Baths should be given as needed. Red-Nosed Pit Bull owners sometimes have their ears clipped, but it is not customary to do so.
Annual checkups are recommended, with vaccinations as follows:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
Pit Bulls shed moderately, so regular vacuuming is required if they are to be kept inside.
Housing Your Dog The Red-Nosed Pit Bull can be kept inside or out. They can live in apartments as long as they get plenty of exercise. These dogs prefer warm weather. They need durable toys, beds, and food and water containers.
Social Behaviors Old Family Red-Nosed Pit Bulls tend to have friendly temperaments due to the quality of their breeding. They may, however, be aggressive to unfamiliar animals. They are very protective of their owners and the owner's property, but are friendly when there is no threat present.
Handling and Training Red-Nosed Pit Bulls must be well socialized when they are young. They excel at obedience, tracking, and agility training.
Activities The Red-Nosed Pit Bull needs daily exercise and long walks. They love vigorous exercise, and they are great hiking partners.
Breeding/Reproduction The rarity of the Red-Nosed Pit Bull may make it difficult to find others of the strain for breeding purposes. A good breeder can help you find a suitable mate for your dog.
Common Health Problems The Red-Nosed Pit Bull is a healthy dog overall, but some have genetic and non-genetic health problems. These include heart disease, joint problems, cataracts, and allergies.
Availability Old Family Red-Nosed Pit Bulls are rare, and may be difficult to find. They often sell much higher than other Pit Bulls. The Old Family Red-Nosed is a Red-Nosed Pit Bull whose lineage goes back to the original ones from Ireland.
