Sunday School
September through May various classes are offered for children and adults. Children's classes cover a range of subjects: Bible stories, Bible memory, church history, and the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. Teens undergo an interactive course on the distinctives of Christianity from a Reformed perspective. Two adult studies are offered.
Download the Sunday School map
Our Sunday school season begins on September 16, after our morning worship. This year three adult classes will be offered. The following gives you a little preview of each class.
Tom Riley Class: USC Professor Valerie Folkes stated, "When you don't have to spend for baby furniture and private schooling, you have more disposable income for adult toys." This is one of many quotes manifesting our current culture's diminished view of children and parenting. What does God say about the purpose of children and how to parent? In this Sunday school class we will use Paul Tripp's series, "Getting to the Heart of Parenting" to explore these questions and many more. Whether you are single or newlyweds wishing to evaluate whether you have a Biblical view for future parenting, or you already have children and you need help evaluating and improving in your God-affirmed task, come join in the discussion. We even want grandparents to come to give us their wisdom on their parenting experiences. As the sharks in "Nemo" said, "Children are friends, not food!" Come join us.
Rod & Jamie Tussing Class: What does it mean to belong to a Reformed church - is it theology, tradition, or both? How well do you know what it means to be a member of a Reformed church? Does your knowledge go deeper than the standard answers that we commonly hear? This class will take a look at what the Reformed Tradition is all about - where did it come from, why do we follow it, and why is it important? This will be a lively, comfortable, and safe class that will include time for questions and discussion. This class is for everyone, whether you are new to the Church, born into it, or somewhere in between.
Pastor Grotenhuis Class: "Outside Opportunities: Being Light in a World of Darkness" - A new location and a new website creates new opportunities for the gospel. Jesus said, "You are the light of the world (John 8:12) and "As the Father has sent Me, so I send you" (John 20:21). Three years ago we looked at the church's mission calling and identity. This year we'll expand on our previous course and lay out an in-depth biblical and theological foundation for the church's calling to the nations as well as practical lessons in personal evangelism and hospitality. Such a course will allow us to see how a Christ-centered, gospel-driven, and Reformed worldview can be a rich blessing for a needy world. It will also display the many residual benefits for us and other churches who unselfishly commit themselves to Christ's call to be a blessing to the nations.

"Experimentalist" [1] is a blanket term for all sorts of scientists engaged more in experimental activity than in the theoretical side of their sciences.
The word "experimenter" emphasizes the person running an experiment, usually in a single instance; "experimentalist," by contrast, indicates a pattern in a person's approach to discovering knowledge.
"Experimentalist" is also used in reference to a personality type that builds up gradually to a work. Here the term is not limited to science, but is frequently used in relation to artists. Famous "experimentalists" could include Cézanne, Mark Twain or Robert Frost. The opposite of being an Experimentalist is to be a Conceptualist.
Colloquially, an Experimentalist has been defined as "one who prefers to ascertain by finding out."
Famous experimentalists[edit]
- Michael Faraday (Physics)
- ^ See, e.g., for the use of term experimentalist in Ian Hacking, Representing and Intervening: introductory topics in the philosophy of natural science, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1983
- David W. Galenson, Old Masters and Young Geniuses (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2006).
- David W. Galenson, Artistic Capital (New York and London: Routledge, 2006).

New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Key facts
Club: Tottenham Hotspur FC | Capacity: 56,250 seats | Scheduled opening: n/a | Status: in planning
Tottenham Hotspur is currently in an advanced planning stage of building a new stadium at a site next to their current stadium White Hart Lane.
For years the club had been looking for ways to increase its revenue by either refurbishing White Hart Lane, building a brand new stadium, or moving to a different already existing stadium (which at different points in time was either the new Wembley Stadium or the 2012 Olympic Stadium).
However, after loosing out on the first Olympic Stadium bid and not deciding to participate in the next round, the club now seems fully set on continuing with plans that were first presented in 2008, and are often referred to as the Northumberland Development Project.
These plans involve the construction of a new stadium with a capacity of 56,250 seats which is to be built adjacent to White Hart Lane. The project furthermore aims at reenergizing the Tottenham area, for which the stadium serves as an anchor and around which other smaller projects will be tied. These projects include a central square next to the stadium, new shopping opportunities, new housing, and the refurbishment of existing historic buildings.
The stadium will be bowl-shaped, with flowing lines similar to the Emirates stadium, and a single-tier home stand for the short end.
The club has already been given planning permission and is currently working on securing funding for the project, for which a naming rights deal seems an essential part. Due to the difficult current financial climate the club has not yet given a concrete schedule on when it hopes to start and complete construction.

This might be my favorite sci-fi movie of all times. I think that Janet Maslin is right on the mark when she says that this movie harvests the unusual benefit of drawing together good script playing, a sound plot and the untamed genius of a visionary --not always deemed particularly sane-- like Terry Gilliam. I know that Gilliam might disagree but, for his own good, the result of this combination is the best film he ever directed. And maybe the best science fiction film ever.

Jackson R-2 School District does something it's done for the past 5 years: honor Disabilities Awareness Week.
Five-year-old Carter can count to 10, run fast, and play on the slide by himself. His mom said he loves school.
"His favorite thing is the school bus, if he could ride it all day long I think he would be completely happy," said Sarah Kuntze.
That's what the week is supposed to be about, celebrating the things Carter can do, not what he can't.
Carter also has Down Syndrome.
"It kind of gives them for a week, you know, and I don't mean that in a way as to oh there's a kid with Down's Syndrome, let's be nice to him because it's disabilities awareness week, I just think it kind of gives them an understanding what it's like to live a day in their life," said Kuntze. "And to kind of, oh you know let's stop and help them, and not necessarily just look at the disability."
The week promotes the understanding of disabilities and that every person is important regardless of a disability.
Signs around Jackson show the week's theme: Everybody Counts.
"Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you can't succeed and you can't do everything you dream of doing, and I think this week kind of not only gives kids and other community members a reminder of that, but the kids themselves," said Kuntze.
One of the things Carter wanted to do, was play soccer.
"I wrote on the form my son has Down Syndrome, he's going to need a coach that's understanding and willing to work with him," said Kuntze.
The local league placed Carter of Marvin Adams Team.
"He is, he's just one of the kids, and he needed to have a great experience just like the other kids," said Adams.
As part of this week's celebration, parents of kids with a disability can nominate a person or business who has gone above and beyond for their kid.
For Kuntze, that person was Adams.
"It just touched my heart," said Kuntze.
"I was nervous, and I think if you just get in there and treat them like normal kids then watch them grow," said Adams.
"We get to the stop light, and he knows that's where we're going and he'll say, yay kick ball, kick ball," said Adams.
Another parents nominated Athletes Plus because of their cheerleading team for kids with special needs.
"It just means so much, and I think this week really helps them to realize hey those guys are our friends too we got to help them out, and be a good friend," said Kuntze.
"I think the coaches and the other kids, probably grew more than Carter did," said Adams.
Some said growth is what the week is about, and Kuntze said it's working.
"He doesn't know if someone was making fun of him, he wouldn't know, but from what I've experienced, that doesn't happen," said Kuntze.
The week educates kids through speakers, plays, and presentations.
You can take part in the week by going to the Jackson McDonald's this Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. A percentage of the proceeds will go to Melaina's Magical Playland.

With the recession and financial meltdown having eclipsed immigration issues over the last year and a half, the question of (largely illegal) hispanic labor on North Country dairy farms has slipped off the radar.
There are glimpses, like when border patrol detains immigrants in a local farm raid, or when a fire engulfs the trailer where the workers live. But like the farmworkers themselves, the issue is consigned to the shadows.
A new documentary produced by the Vermont Migrant Farmworker Solidarity Project tries to shed new light on the subject. "Silenced Voices" will debut July 1 at the Burlington Black Box Theater and on July 6 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Montpelier.
The trailer looks promising:

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, March 29, 2013
The most asked question about aquaponics is "What is aquaponics?" But a close runner up and usually follows the answer to the first by about 2.362518 seconds is "Why aquaponics?"
While the question does offer the opportunity for one to climb on the soap box and wax endlessly about the challenges and irresponsibilities of the modern agricultural industry complex, I think I'll approach it on more of a personal level. For me, it's about solving problems and overcoming challenges.
Challenges like find a sustainable way of providing fresh, clean produce for our family without the nasty pesticides and petroleum based fertilizers that cover most produce found in your local supermarket. Things like celery which are covered with so many chemicals it has landed at number 2 on the dirty dozen food list. By the way 6 of the dirty dozen are easily grown in an aquaponics system. Fresh clean and naturally grown!
Or overcoming challenges of traditional agriculture like dependency on oil, and high water consumption. Currently the agriculture industry is the second highest consumer of oil in the United States. Everything on a farm depends on it from equipment, to fertilizers and pesticides to shipping and processing. Agricultural accounts for the single highest user of the worlds fresh water supply, yet traditional methods of watering fields are some of the least effective ways of delivering water to plants. Much of the water bypasses the plants and washes chemicals into the soil.
Sorry, let me get off the soap box.
Aquaponics in it's modern form, is the result of a search for a solution to a problem in the aquaculture field. Dr. James Rakocy, often referred to as the Father of US Aquaponics, did his doctoral thesis on the theory of using plants to remove nitrates from fish tanks. Fish farms were replacing 5-10% of their water daily. That's a lot of water! He was responsible for the marriage of aquaculture (the raising of fish) and hydroponics (growing of plants in flowing water) that lead the way to massive reduction in water usage by his University of Virgin Islands aquaculture system and produced some amazing growth in plants.
When I started doing my research into hydroponics, gardening and eventually aquaponics, I quickly realized aquaponics mimics a natural ecosystem the closest. It reduces water use by recirculating it in a closed loop. Eliminates the use of petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides as they are harmful, if not deadly, to the fish. And the energy required to run the system can easily be provided by a small solar panel, or a health club power generating treadmill for those of you inclined to get a good workout in while growing your food.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
So why haven't more people taken the plunge? I theorize most people don't know the "how" and think the startup cost can be prohibitive. Over the next few articles I will provide you with the basic principles and "how to" of aquaponics. And show you some reasonable examples of cost effective materials. Soon you'll be building your own kitchen system with a small used aquarium from a garage sale, a few goldfish, and an old plastic wash basin. How fun!
Our System Update:
See these guys?
These are 125 Koi fish and they are the new engine of our system. We still have a few Tilapia in there too, but we found the Tilapia stopped eating when the water dropped to around 70 degrees. Fish not eating = very little nutrients for plants. Not good. Koi have a wider temperature range and therefore reduce the energy requirements of heating the water in the winter time here in Florida. 125 Full grown Koi will be more than required for our system, so we plan on using some to stock our pond, and will sell off some as they mature. Anyone need any Koi?
With so many tiny hungry mouths eating lots of fish food, I noticed we were getting a build up of fish solids (aka fish poop) in the sump tank. While a simple sweep with a broom would solve the problem by stirring up the solids and eventually they would find their way to the grow beds, I decided to build a simple radial flow filter to collect the large solids. Don't worry, we plan on using them in our raised beds as they make excellent fertilizer.
Looks fancy don't it?
In preparation for summer coming, I also installed our summer shade over the fish tank. It will help keep the fish water cooler. Cooler fish under shade makes happy fish!
It's easily removed and will provide a place for shelter from the hot summer sun for us as well. I am planning on installing shade cloth over the grow beds to help prevent the plants from getting roasted.
That's all for now….
PS – I think we should change the name of the site from Steamy Kitchen to Scott's Aquaponics! What do you think?
thanks for posting! i've been waiting to read all about your system. loved reading about your chicken coop so i know i'll love reading about this system too!
If you're not eating the fish doesn't that kind of defeat the whole point of aquaponics vs. hydroponics? Maybe the Koi actually are the best carp to use for your purposes and you do eat them? Either that or does the system generate enough Koi that are easily resold to make it viable?
Yeah, I could see Koi making sense actually more sense commercially. I just wondered why you were doing it for a home system since it seemed like an aquaponics system is more complex. I always thought the justification was that you could eat the fish and the needed fish food was cheaper than the hydroponics fertilizer. Sounds like you're saying the aquaponics is actually easier to manage once it's stable rather than constantly adjusting things such as salt buildup in a hydro system? Either way it's interesting to see how it works out for you. Aquaponics is something I've been looking at for a while just because it seems to make so much sense you wonder why it's taken so long to be developed.
I can understand the concern about organics but don't know if I'd personally buy into it here since I don't know that any of the hydroponics chemicals are actually unnatural as such. Aren't they really just the same ones that are produced by the fish? My thoughts on organics has always been that the big things are most importantly the lack of pesticides and then nourishment of the soil microbes?
btw, did a quick google for organic hydroponics and looks like there's a fair amount on it. One of the top hits was a 1977 article from Mother Earth News and then Maximum Yield had a decent explanation of a modern system. Apparently in the US but not Canada there are organic certifications for hydroponics. Looks like just as with regular organic farming it's a little more complex to balance everything but it doesn't seem like it's anything you couldn't do if you wished.
Of course if the Koi work well for you then no reason to do so since you've already done the work to get that setup and I assume you still might have to deal with salt buildup issues and such.
Hi Scott,
I build fish ponds on Maui. I'd like to convert more of my clients into aquaponics, but envision the growing beds to be built into the ground, like a foot path or patio, higher than the pound so they don't look so unattractive on the property. They would be lined with pond liner, but only 15 inches deep with bell valves to have the water flow back to the pond. The pump would pump the water to a waterfall above the growing areas, flow through that, then by overflow, then bell valve to the pond below. Most pond owners use koi or gold fish.
My question is this: Hyacinth can grow like weeds in a healthy pond. I have to cull them so they don't fill the pond. While doing this on a pond yesterday I wondered if they could be ground up to use as fish food. I just throw them in the dumpster, but if an owner went to aquaponics these could be a source of fish nutrients. Thought you or a reference would know. Thanks, Curt
I look forward to the series. Will you be addressing homeowner association issues in the series?
Hi Scott,
Impressive setup. I was wondering if you can show more of your DIY Radial flow filter. I saw some other designs and like to compare it. Your ware seems pretty clear to me.
Hi Scott, what a coincidence that my daughter , a 9th grader in an International Baccaleaureate (IB) school in Dallas, TX is doing Aquaponics for her personal project. Would you be kind enough to be her mentor if she has questions? Please email me separately and let me know.
These people are spewing bad information. Beware. It's people like this that make a bad name for good food.
Go to real credentialed individuals if you care at all about your health.
This is garbage. Anyone can order home growing kits….
Hi Curt,
I keep my koi/goldfish pond stocked with water hyacinth in the warm months. The fish will eat them when they get hungry. In fact, sometimes they sort of swarm over a plant and basically devour it, like sharks. They'll eat the roots too. Sometimes that's how I notice that the plants are getting eaten, they start to die because the fish have eaten the roots!
Thanks for sharing Scott, your aquaponics system looks interesting, easy set up process for beginners…
There is so much info online and most of it can be quite technical.
My aquaponics garden is now thriving through trial and error using a few systems.
Mark Davies
Hey Mark,
My name is Josh Hilton. I am a gardener out in little river, banks peninsula, and help grow fresh produce for a local cafe in town. Ive been really interested in aquaponics for awhile now, and am thinking about building a small system with a few goldfish, hopefully eventually leading to something on a bigger scale. I was wondering if you would;'t mind If i could please come and check out your system, as I've watched heaps of youtube video's, but I'm sure nothing can beat looking at in real life… if so, please email me,

Tickets to Jenni Rivera's memorial Wednesday in Los Angeles, an event her family calls her 'graduation into heaven,' were snapped up the day before.
LOS ANGELES — Fans and family members of Jenni Rivera were set to celebrate the life of the banda singer Wednesday at a Los Angeles memorial service after she was killed in a plane crash in Mexico.
"We will celebrate the graduation into heaven, with honors, of our beloved mother, daughter and sister," her family said in a statement.
Free tickets to the public memorial service were quickly snapped up Tuesday. Rivera's burial will be private.
The 43-year-old Rivera and six others died Dec. 9. The crash remains under investigation.
Rivera sold more than 15 million copies of her 12 major-label albums. Her soulful singing style and her honesty about her tumultuous personal life won her fans on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. She was also an actress and reality-TV star.
Born in Los Angeles, Rivera launched her career by selling cassette tapes at local flea markets. By the end of the 90s, she won a major-label contract and built a loyal following that knew her as the "Diva de la Banda."
Many of her songs deal with themes of dignity in the face of heartbreak.

There's great yin/yang at work when the forever whimsical Rounder balances his anything-goes persona against that of the comparatively academic (no disâwho wouldn't be?) John Cohen. Due to it, this ever-changing gaggle of singers and strummers is unique in the Stampfel resume. Crazed gospel, boo-hoo bluegrass, kids' songs for adults, giddy swing, Jeannie Scofield's barn dance harmonies, and the most arrestingly scratchy fiddle you'll ever hear. They'll take a flying leap at anything if it's old-timey enough.

Joy Kinley's curator insight, September 11, 12:46 PM
The amber jewelry from the Baltic shows that the grave was high status but the bear pelt is proof that bears lived in the area.

Ladakh Homestays Background
We started Himalayan Homestays in Ladakh in 2002; we being the Snow Leopard Conservancy, The Mountain Institute, local tour operators and villagers living in important snow leopard areas. In 1999, local people had expressed an interest in generating income from increasing numbers of visitors that passed through their villages, and wanted to offer a tourism experience that would benefit visitors, hosts and the local environment.
The first Homestays were established in Hemis National Park, "snow leopard capital of India," in 2002 and later-on more villagers joined from Sham, another important snow leopard area. We hope that more communities in Ladakh will join the Himalayan Homestay network in 2004.
Homestays generate additional income for local people – helping offset unavoidable income losses from livestock depredation by snow leopards and other predators. With income from tourism that highlights wildlife viewing, local people have a reason to conserve predators which may threaten their herds, especially since poaching and retributive killing of snow leopards are the major threats across the Himalaya to this rare and beautiful cat.


text: Fresh apricots have too short a season for such a yummy fruit. That is why dried apricots have always been a popular treat. Drying is an easy way to preserve the taste and be able to enjoy them all year round. To be honest I have never been a real fan of the regular Turkish apricots available in most supermarkets, I find them somewhat bland, with sweetness but no real apricot flavor. Over the years, I prefer the more flavorful and tart variety of dried apricots I find at Trader Joe's.

Ooc: is this rp dead now?
Lunch & Other Adventures || Harold & Charles
"Nope, not at all. I never really considered anything but I broke off an engagement with this girl who was the daughter of one of may Father's associates." Charles replied. "But I'm really open to anything else happening here on out." Charles smiled at Harold, then he looked away, trying not to draw any unnecessary ideas at the comment he just made and what he could have implied. Charles held back laugher, worrying about the context of the whole situation. "You're not being too intrusive. If I went into the details about my personal life, that might be testing the limits."
He laughed "Ah arranged marriages. Yeah I was supposed to be in an arranged marriage too. She was a great Lady. But I wasn't interested so the engagement never did happen. Thankfully." Harold chuckled to himself. "Other than that nothing too serious. Nobody wanted to be involved with a silly writer like me." He shrugged and smiled. Harold couldn't keep from wondering about Charles previous statement. He brushed it off Perhaps he had just misinterpreted the man. "Oh do not worry I will not pester you for your deepest desires. I frankly dont care. Well actually.." he laughed
Lunch & Other Adventures || Harold & Charles
"Well, I guess I would become a lawyer however; it is too late in life to consider starting all over again. And yes, I would be opening a firm on Wall Street. I would not be one to abjure my father's orders. He would definitely board a ship and come to New York to yell at me himself. He always makes sure he gets what he wants."
"Well, Charles you never know where life will take you." he uttered contemplating his statement. It was something that was on Harold mind frequently. Rubbing his face with both hands he continued "Have you got anybody that you're leaving behind? Surely such an attractive man like you must have some sort of romance." he laughed softly and noticed Charles' reaction. "Oh sorry feel free to stop me if I'm getting too intrusive." Harold covered his face waiting for the worst.
A Familiar Face || Anneliese & Harold
"Yeah." Anneliese agreed reluctantly, as her gaze turned to the ground. "Anything." She tried her best to hide the agony she felt just thinking of the life that lie ahead of her. But she feared that she was doing a terrible job of it.
"So. Tell me: what are your plans when the ship docks?" Anneliese asked, hoping to defer the attention from herself.
Harold noticed Anneliese's apprehension toward the subject and looked down at his feet nervously. "My apologies I promise you I didn't mean to bring up anything that would project rather unsettling thoughts " He sighed and raised his gase to look her in the eye.
" Well I you see I'm just looking for more work. I'm a writer and I have a feeling that America will be my big break. I've been having trouble with publishing in England, lately." he bit his lip nervously "Maybe even starting a family. But you know being a writer is a lot of work." muttering his last sentience and smiled forlornly. Again he found himself gazing at the floor.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce was on the field Tuesday running the first-team offence, which is a positive sign that he's on the mend.
But the 30-year-old Pierce, who sustained a concussion on Sept. 29, has not been medically cleared to play.
More tests are scheduled for Pierce on Tuesday but if he can't play against Toronto Friday night, head coach Tim Burke said he would lean towards starting Joey Elliott.
"If the medical staff releases (Pierce) to play, he will be the starter," said Burke. "Right now, it's who gives us our best chance to win. Despite our (4-11) record, we're still in the race. We know we have to win out."
The Blue Bombers could still make the playoffs if they win their final three games and the Eskimos loses its final three contests.

MLB playoffs
'Sensitive' Nick Swisher Stung By Jeers, Insults From Yankees Fans
Uh-oh. There's trouble in paradise. Hurt by jabs, jeers and insults from the home crowd, off-and-on fan favorite Swisher acknowledged Sunday he wasn't much in the mood for roll call at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees' Girardi Calls For Expanded Replay After Blown Call
"The technology is available," said Girardi. "That's what our country has done. We have evolved technology to make things better. Yeah, let's have instant replay. And not just, not just home run, fair, foul. Let's have instant replay."
Keidel: New York Yankees, Rest In Peace
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
Sweeny: Yankees Need Leadership In Playoff Life AD — After Derek
This team is begging for leaders, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano are the next in line. If they have it in them, they will be in line to receive the spoils of Yankee greatness. It not, this season will be over in just a couple days.
Yankees Shut Out In Game 2, Down 2-0 In ALCS
Detroit Tigers capitalized on a missed call by an umpire to beat New York 3-0 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.
Silverman: Despite Jeter's Injury, Yankees Still Have Some Life
The New York Yankees as underdogs? That's just what Joe Girardi's team has been transformed into as they prepare for the remainder of the postseason without Derek Jeter.
Jeter Injured, Yankees Lose Game One 6-4 In 12 Innings
Detroit Tigers outlasted the Yankees 6-4 Saturday night in an AL championship series opener in which Derek Jeter was helped off the field with what appeared to be a serious leg injury.
A-Rod Returns To Yankees' Lineup, Dropped To 6th In Batting Order
Alex Rodriguez has returned to the Yankees' starting lineup for their AL championship series opener against Detroit on Saturday night but has been dropped to sixth in the batting order.
Silverman: Girardi Showed Plenty Of Guts With A-Rod Benching
Girardi's detractors have to give the manager full marks for making the decision, executing it and doing it in such a manner that didn't cause angst in the clubhouse.
Yankees' ALCS Hopes Rest On Broad Shoulders Of CC Sabathia
It all comes down to this: a do-or-die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium. New York has to like its chances with Sabathia on the mound.
Palladino: A Peek At The End For A-Rod?
A-Rod is suddenly expendable. And moveable. Not good. We'll see what happens this afternoon in Game 5 — he could look back on this series as the beginning of the end.
'Bat 1, Me Nothing': Another Misfortune Finds Jinxed Joba In Yankees' Loss
Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't know until Friday whether his bullpen will include Chamberlain, who has had enough mound misfortunes to fill a horror film.
Hobbled Jeter Leading Off For Yankees In Game 4 Matchup Against Orioles
Derek Jeter doesn't like to talk about injuries. Either he'll play or he won't — and he will. The captain is leading off for the Bronx Bombers in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Orioles.
Coleman: Ah, MLB Under Bud; If Ratings Are There, It Must Be Right — Right?
Don't worry about what's right or wrong, or better yet what makes sense. We'll just keep making it up as we go along.
Girardi's 'Gut' Proves Clutch; A-Rod Excited For Yankees Hero Ibanez
Joe Girardi, so often criticized for relying his trusty stats binder, just had a feeling. And it worked. Boy, did it ever.

Making Nurses' Academic Progression a Reality
Maryjoan Ladden, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
There is near-universal agreement among health care stakeholders and experts that the country needs to grow the number of primary care providers. If the health care system is to meet the growing demand for care that will result from the greying of the Baby Boomers and the influx of millions of newly insured Americans, we're going to need a bigger, better-prepared health care workforce.
That's a point the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, made very clearly with respect to nurses. That landmark report also pointed out that health care is becoming increasingly complex as our understanding of illness grows and as the tools and systems we have available to combat it change and evolve.
Meet the Charting Nursing's Future Policy Brief Series
This is part of a series introducing programs in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Human Capital Portfolio.
What policies optimize nurses' role in solving the shortage of primary care practitioners? What approaches will promote and incentivize interprofessional education and practice in health care so as to improve the quality and safety of care? What promising state and federal initiatives are likely to achieve the Institute of Medicine's recommendation to increase the proportion of nurses who hold a baccalaureate or higher degree to 80 percent by the year 2020?
These and other crucial issues confronting nursing and the health care system are the focus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Charting Nursing's Future policy briefs. Launched in 2005, the series now includes 20 briefs covering a range of topics, including:
- Unlocking the potential of school nursing;
- Expanding the nation's capacity to educate nurses through state-level partnerships;
- Improving the recruitment and retention of older and experienced nurses as a way to stem the looming nursing shortage;
- Understanding the relationships among such issues as access, cost, payment systems, and quality of care;
- Optimizing nurses' role in closing the health care quality and safety "gap";
- Addressing the nurse faculty shortage through public and private partnerships;
- Strengthening public health nursing;
- Driving policy change with data collected and analyzed by state nursing workforce centers;
- Easing the nursing shortage through government, school and employer collaborations; and more.
RWJF's First 40 Years Investing in Nurses and Nursing
For more than four decades, the grantmaking of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has advanced the nursing profession, supporting nurses in their efforts to improve care and strengthening nurses' role in shaping the future of the nation's health care system. The latest issue of Charting Nursing's Future, RWJF's periodic series of issue briefs, tracks the Foundation's growing commitment to nursing.
The brief examines RWJF's impact in five distinct areas:
- Expanding roles for nurses;
- Building educational capacity;
- Demonstrating nurses' contributions to quality and safety;
- Creating leaders for the 21st century; and
- Bridging gaps in research and data.
Among the two dozen past and present programs highlighted in the brief:
- Expanding roles. In the mid-1970s, RWJF played a critical role in the emergence and acceptance of nurse practitioners (NPs), supporting demonstration projects in rural areas of California, Alabama, Tennessee and New England. Subsequently, RWJF's Nurse Faculty Fellowship Program helped create an intellectual home for primary care nursing, leading to the creation of master's degree NP programs across the nation.
Nurses' Evolving Role in Primary Care
While policy-makers in Washington and in state capitals across the nation have been embroiled in a debate over health care reform, many aspects of the health care system have been evolving in response to economic and demographic pressures. The latest issue of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's ongoing Charting Nursing's Future (CNF) series of policy briefs highlights a number of examples of that evolution, all related to nurses' changing role in primary care.
The Institute of Medicine's landmark report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change Advancing Health, noted that nurses "are poised to help bridge the gap between coverage and access, to coordinate increasingly complex care for a wide range of patients, to fulfill their potential as primary care providers to the full extent of their education and training, and to enable the full economic value of their contributions across practice settings to be realized." In fact, as the CNF brief points out, "Nurses are already leading the way in keeping patients healthy, managing their diseases, and reducing their use of costly hospital care by increasing the availability and scope of primary care services."
Human Capital News Roundup: Taking the scare out of dental care for kids, stroke-related memory loss, and more.
Here's a sampling of recent news coverage of the work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars and Fellows:
"As a physician, I have seen the tremendous capabilities of nurses—capabilities that are essential to meeting patient needs," Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) President and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, writes in Medscape [free subscription]. "But to ensure that they maximize their contributions to health and health care, nurses will need advanced skills and expertise in care management, interdisciplinary teamwork, problem solving, and more. This makes higher levels of education imperative. In addition, having a larger pool of highly educated nurses will be necessary to expand the ranks of nurse faculty, addressing the shortfall that now causes nursing schools to turn away thousands of qualified applicants each year. These advanced degree nurses are also needed to help ameliorate the worsening primary care shortage."
RWJF Clinical Scholars program alumna Raina Merchant, MD, MSHP, continues to receive media coverage for her work to map Philadelphia's automated external defibrillators (AEDs) through the MyHeartMap Challenge. The Philadelphia CBS bureau and the Daily Pennsylvanian are among the outlets to report on the project. Read a post Merchant wrote for the RWJF Human Capital Blog about the MyHeartMap Challenge.
RWJF Executive Nurse Fellows alumna Alexia Green, RN, PhD, FAAN, spoke to Nurse.com about how the Texas Action Coalition—which she co-leads—is working to advance the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine's Future of Nursing report. Learn more about the Action Coalitions across the country, and watch a series of videos highlighting their goals and ongoing work.
Patient outcomes are better at hospitals with higher proportions of registered nurses, RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholar Matthew McHugh, PhD, JD, MPH, RN, CRNP, told the Philadelphia Inquirer, and hospitals should "foster a culture that encourages employees to get more training, have good communication among nurses, physicians and managers, have enough people to do the work, and provide nurses with the tools they need."
Human Capital News Roundup: RWJF Scholars in the Media Discussing Children's Playgrounds, Women's Health Costs, and Much More
Here's a sampling of recent news coverage of the work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars and Fellows:
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Senior Program Officer Maryjoan Ladden, PhD, RN, FAAN, was a guest blogger for The Doctor Weighs In, posting about the importance of interprofessional collaboration and coordination, drawing on the latest edition of Charting Nursing's Future. Ladden is also an alumna of the RWJF Executive Nurse Fellows program.
RWJF Health & Society Scholars program National Advisory Committee member Amelie G. Ramirez, DrPH, wrote an op-ed for the Austin American Statesman about Salud America, an RWJF research network working to prevent obesity among Latino children.
Gary A. Taubes, MSE, MS, recipient of an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research, was featured in an Orlando Sentinel four-part special report about why so many Americans are obese. The series examined what we eat, the influence of heredity, lifestyle and the environment. Taubes is the author of "Why We Get Fat." Read more about Taubes' work.
The reasons that some playgrounds don't appeal to children are explored in new research by RWJF Physician Faculty Scholars alumna Kristen A. Copeland, MD, FAAP. MedPage Today reports on the study's findings. Reuters and United Press International (UPI) also reported on Copeland's research. Read about Copeland's research on factors that impede physical activity in child care settings.
Latest Charting Nursing's Future Brief Focuses on IOM's Recommendations for Nurses' Educational Progression
Following up on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine's landmark Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report, the latest edition of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Charting Nursing's Future series focuses on increasing the formal education of the nation's nursing workforce. Perhaps most notably, the report calls for greater emphasis on bachelor's and doctoral degrees, and sets specific targets to be achieved by 2020. Among those targets: increasing the share of the nursing workforce with a bachelor's or higher degree to 80 percent, and doubling the current percentage of nurses with doctoral degrees.
As the new Charting Nursing's Future brief observes, these goals "will require fundamental changes: new competency-based curricula; seamless educational progression; more funding for accelerated programs, educational capacity building, and student diversity; and stronger employer incentives to spur progression." The publication covers each of these topics in detail, discussing key challenges and solutions, and offering success stories from programs already in place.
The issue is the first of four that will focus on implementing Future of Nursing recommendations.

Owl bread from Johan Bakery in Mitsokoshi Ginza, Feb 2012. With them-there-eyes he was an easy choice, even with full-on Japanese-French bakery overwhelm.
Gotta love the attention to detail: Johan is one of those operations that have a baguette pickup schedule, so that forward-thinking customers can bring home still-warm bread. Amidst the afternoon chaos of pastry-pinging housewives, the bakery ladies were still exquisitely sweet, and packed our little friend in his own plastic box.

The People of Hastings Still Do May Day the Traditional Way
May Day is a bullshit holiday thought up by a bunch of heathens in the BC days. Originally a celebration of spring, it's now primarily an excuse for Europeans to be obnoxious and take a day off work. No one cares about the day's roots anymore, and most of its contemporary observers are screaming anticapitalists and union workers who occasionally throw punches at the police.
One place in Europe keeping things traditional is Hastings in East Sussex, England, where groups with names like Hannah's Cat, the Lovely Ladies, and the Gay Bogies meet for a "Jack in the Green" celebration every May Day holiday weekend. This year was no exception, and on Monday a bunch of people dressed in weird pagan costumes held a procession through the town, culminating with a trek to the top of a hill where Jack—an effigy made out of leaves and flowers—is "slain." The Hastings tradition was revived in 1983, making this year its 30th anniversary. I went along to take some pictures.

The husband might
But, the first part i agree
So if someone disagrees with something you do, you end all relationship with them? Wow. Way to reduce the xmas card list
Realized I have to ask just about everyone to sod off. Hey where did all my friends and family go???
Doing what you do is always going to offend someone or make some uncomfortable. Just tell them that you feel it's ok for you, and go about your business. UNLESS there are kids involved. Nices, nephews, other close relatives that may be teased or picked on because of your activities. Then you may need to think through what you publish where. At least if it's not a living...
I would respond with "No problem. Sorry you feel that way."
No need to say anything else.
Why try to pick a fight, or worry about someone like this? It doesn't matter what you do, you won't change her mind. Let her live her life.
We all need to choose our path in the world. No matter what path you choose, there are always people who will disagree with your choice.
You shouldn't worry that she doesn't approve of your choice. There is no need to stoop to her level and tell her you don't approve of her choices. If she's offended by certain images, who are you to tell her to change? She should be allowed the choice not to look.
Early days of my time here, I got a negative feedback for group of portfolio pictures.. Was my younger sister, who had a full grasp on my work,, She suggested that I put my calendar work in a seprrate portfolio.. It was not a negative comment, it was just a seperate catagories of work.
hahahahahahaha and ugly

There has been a lot written about the poor quality of the water in the Mosquito Lagoon.
All of it has been understated.
Recently I spent a morning on the Northern Lagoon and I won't soon forget what I found there.
A while back Capt. Leo Hiles had called me to say that a brown tide was creeping up from the Indian River Lagoon System to the south. He said when you couple that with the algae bloom that had plagued the Lagoon for over a year, trouble was on the horizon. I had made one recent trip to the extreme Southern part of the Mosquito Lagoon and sure enough the water was off, but I was less than worried.
Now on this morning, I dropped my 16-foot Carolina Skiff in at the free ramp at Turtle Mound and right from the get-go I knew there was a problem.
The deep water around the mound was unusually murky. First, I ran south toward Eldora, turning west to fish around Orange Island. I stopped at a little point that has provided me with schooling trout action for many years. I was stunned at what I encountered.
The always clear shallow water was now a thick mustard colored emulsion. A dank odor hit my nose as soon as the boat slowed. When I did cast, I had nary a bite. That would be the first time I had ever fished that spot without a hit.
Thinking the water had to be better to the north, I put the Carolina up on plane and headed for Government Cut. Moving into the Cedar Creek area, I found the water quality to be no better and maybe even worse.
In all of my 45 years of fishing the Mosquito Lagoon, I have never witnessed such a mess.
Down through the years, I have come to expect poor water quality in the Northern Halifax where I live.
As I have complained for many years, the construction of bridges and causeways has dammed up the river until there is little tidal flow. Each time we have a big rain event, the Halifax becomes polluted from runoff and remains that way for months until a strong storm comes along to flush it out to the inlet.
Whenever that happened, I was always envious of the swift tidal flow in the Mosquito Lagoon. It had always seemed to me that area could dump any pollutants into the Atlantic with each tide.
Apparently I was wrong.
The nasty, yellow water has been there for some time with no signs of leaving.
According to Capt. Leo, the Lagoon will also require a storm to finally clean it out. The scientists are saying the brown tide and algae will not harm the fish. I can't buy that.
At the very least, it will affect the very bottom of the food chain. The filter feeding shellfish will surely die. I don't know what the solution is, but smarter folks than I must do something and quickly.
Mosquito Lagoon is the gem of Volusia County and responsible for many millions of dollars in commerce. We can't let it die.
In the Halifax, the water quality is surprisingly good. No signs of brown tide or an algae bloom and the recent heavy rains did little damage there.
Big reds are around north of Granada, but the great trout bite we have enjoyed for the past year and a half has slowed.
There is still some spotted sea trout around the docks and bridges, but you must fish in the dark.
The shrimp are gearing up for a summer run. A few days ago, I took my 17-foot Polar up to High Bridge to see if the guys were doing any good. I joined six or seven other boats there, but soon found the work was too much for the yield. In two hours, I had only around 100 bait shrimp. That won't do it for me. By the time this gets to print, I hope the shrimp run is in full swing.
If you see the boats gathering in the Halifax, join them and get your share.

Kristen Stewart on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'
Kristen Stewart was on Jay Leno tonight to promote Snow White and the Huntsman
Her appearance on the Tonight Show will air tonight on NBC 11:35 EST.
Just a preview vid…
Plus a gallery below and fan tweets
[Source: kstewartfans, courtjustice]
Girlee24 Just got out of the #Leno show. Kristen was so cute! Very casual. Said no heels, I hurt my ankle. She was cute. Very funny. Fill you in later. Paps are outside on the street waiting for her to leave. She talked abt BD reshoots – they did more of the first hunt. And talked abt working with Chucky type dolls.
@_namelessfool She was super cute when they showed the swath clip. When the Huntsman said "TROLL!!" she was mouthing the words along too. "I wasn't trying to walk with ultimate swag" Kristen on why she wasn't wearing heels and ~~limping while walking into the show. And I'm using the word limping very loosely because I didn't even notice.She said the reshoots of BD were for the first hunt. Wishing we could have heard her convo with Randy Jackson during commercial because she looked reeeeally into the convo lol. They showed a clip of a guy doing the douggie then he got hit by an icecream truck Kirsten jumped off her seat snapped her fingers laughing. Leno mentioned how she was named best dressed in the UK and she said that still doesn't effect the way she dresses. Yeah idk what other interesting thing was said….really not a great interview but she was all sorts of adorable in it. My favorite part of the show was when Randy and Kristen fist bumped lol. Sadly it was during a commercial break.
@DrownInIt So great! Looked beautiful, red blazer and tee, skinny pants, gorge hair, adorbs interview! Love her!! Talked BD reshoots (the first hunt) and a little Renesmee. She loves Mackenzie but not the fake Nessie dolls. Asked about her fave birthday (long pause) and then prompted talked about her 18th. ay said SWATH is not a chick flick but an action flick. K said which I think is a chick flick. Def was walking with a limp. Said she wasn't just trying to have "swag" when she came out. V cool new clip in the dark forest (K briefly forgot it was aww). She made an ack face watching when they showed her close up. Leno talked abt her best dressed award from "British press" and she said that's funny bc they're so "smaht and chic." [/English accent] Said she'd rather feed a horse an apple than "kick it in the ass and tell it to go". Doesn't like being assertive with them.
@robkris13 m not a fashion person but she was wearing leather skinny pants and a red jacket – hair was down – so beautiful!! She talked abt her favorite b'day, getting over fear of horses, and she did get an injury during filming in VanCity recently!! Jay showed a clip from SWATH and I watched her while it was playing…she looked so happy…she lowered head & shyly smiled For those asking: yes it was a new clip wirh her, Chris & a troll!

For kids -- and parents too -- it may be the ultimate play land: a 10-square-mile, $64-billion zone with amusement parks by Six Flags, DreamWorks Animation and Universal Studios, plus museums, shopping and 55 hotels.
At twice the size of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., this is a place where it's hard to imagine getting bored. But if you do, you'll be able to head to a nearby collection of water attractions situated on an island the shape of a killer whale -- all planned by Busch Entertainment, the masterminds behind SeaWorld.
Dubailand, is being built in the United Arab Emirates.
Twenty-five years after Walt Disney Co. began moving overseas, U.S. companies like Six Flags, Universal Studios and DreamWorks are marching rapidly to the Mideast and Far East seeking new revenue streams and an increasingly global audience.
Major U.S. companies have at least 13 parks in the works in South Korea, Singapore, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In every case, developers are fronting millions of dollars to buy land and build parks, while the U.S. businesses reap licensing fees for attractions featuring the likes of Spider-Man and SpongeBob SquarePants without financial risk.
"The phenomenon overseas is the perfect storm, basically," said theme park consultant Gary Goddard. "A lot of factors are coming together at the right time."
Eight theme parks outside the U.S. posted attendance increases of more than 10% from 2006 to 2007, according to a recent report by Economic Research Associates and the Themed Entertainment Assn. Only one U.S.-based park, Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, Va., had double-digit growth last year.
"This is the natural evolution," said Christian Aaen of Economic Research Associates.
"There is growth in certain markets in the United States, in Orlando in particular. But in Southern California it's very competitive, and unless you do a major reinvestment, you don't really get a lot of growth. What they're looking at is Asia and the Middle East on an increasing basis."
Among the confirmed overseas projects:
* Six Flags recently announced its first foreign project in Dubai.
* Busch Entertainment trumpeted its four-park Dubai project as "the most significant news" in company history.
* Universal Studios has parks planned in Dubai and Singapore. It hopes to complete a deal in South Korea by year's end.
* Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation are opening parks in South Korea and Dubai, respectively.
* MGM Studios is building entertainment centers in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi.
* Warner Bros. Entertainment is planning a theme park, hotel and movie theaters in Abu Dhabi.
Some parks will closely model their U.S. counterparts, with nods to local food and culture. Six Flags promises that its Dubai park will have the world's tallest, fastest coaster. Executives with other companies said they were planning full-scale parks to meet the expectations of sophisticated globe-trotters.
For U.S. companies, the deals can include annual licensing royalties as well as a cut of attendance, food and beverage and merchandise revenue, Aaen said. For heavyweights such as Disney and Universal, this could mean tens of millions of dollars annually.
"This is cash flow coming in basically to your bottom line . . . without any significant risk factors," Aaen said.

I graduated with a Masters degree from one of the best architecture schools in the world, filled with visionaries with the knowledge, skills and passion to build the kind of world we all dream of, except nobody in this economic system has any incentive to hire them to do anything remotely like that. At our graduation, one professor remarked that we'd be spending the rest of our lives building strip malls. Then the economy collapsed and I did what I was told… putting on a suit and tie every morning and making job searching a full time job. Six months and one interview later, I had produced nothing of value to anyone and was still living off mom and her soul killing job. I was then 35 years old and had a world of work experience. I knew the only thing to do was walk away from the game.
I vowed I would do what I love even if it meant starving and doing it for free, so I did just that for three years. I've since worked on some of the most innovative treehouses in the world, I've designed and built in Haiti (You want to see the real results of our wonderful foreign and economic policies?) I've built community gardens, geodesic structures, and I'm engineering water catchment systems, hanging gardens and solar updraft power plants so that we can get free of this system as a whole culture.
For the first time in my life I'm using my real gifts even though it's meant living in vans and tents and on couches often after 14 hour build days. I'm 3 months behind on rent now, and thank god I have my health and youth. And for those of you with student loans, they HAVE to offer this to you if you ask, but they WON'T tell you if you don't: call your loan officers and ask about Income Based Repayment.
Oh… and I've also been learning about alternative economic systems. Have a read of Thomas Greco, especially "Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender." Get behind alternative currencies like Ripple and use them, have a look at Vertecology.com's response to Tomas Greco's "End of Money" for an exploration of how to build a just, sustainable and abundant economy. Have a look at City Repair as a successful model for taking back our cities. Get involved, read, build, plant and walk away from their dirty money. Forget the Republibots and the Decepticrats, that game is bought and paid for. We won't be free until we're doing food forestry in the cities and legal tender laws have been abolished.
I'm not armed, but I am dangerous. Watch out.
I am the 99%. Occupywallst.org

Shorty Swing My Way - KP & Envyi
ugh, I'd hate to be Jwow and have such a pretty girl as my sister.
(Source: aubading)
(Source: ebonicsoliloquies)
"Mom, listen, I haven't been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That's a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn't cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those "the lost years". Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I'm with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that's, that's what I think is love, mom. When I'm better because she's here." - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World

text: Some very special benches will be dedicated in Pocahontas, Iowa.Four new benches at Elbert Park were funded with grants from "Build it With Bags". That's a cooperative effort between the Iowa Grocers' Association, and several other organizations, to promote ways to recycle plastic grocery bags.This year, the program chose 15 cities to receive the grants totaling more than 20-thousand dollars. "They help promote recycling of grocery bags so that they can be rebuilt and reused into things like park benches," said Brenda Vrba, Pocahontas Hometown Pride Cmte. "And they also promote using recyclable bags to come and get your groceries in."The grant is part of a five year plan to beautify Pocahontas County. The county is also working with the organizations 'Keep Iowa Beautiful' and 'Trees Forever' to make Elbert park cleaner and more family friendly. "More playground equipment and that sort of stuff," said Eric List, Pocahontas Hometown Pride Cmte. "We have done some beautification on our Gateway Park at the entrance of town to new signs, new trees. We've also been doing Trees Forever, planting a bunch of trees around the community as well."The four benches will be dedicated at 5:00pm Thursday night at Elbert Park in Pocahontas.

Walter Beech King Air 90 STC expanded
Clintonville, Wis.-based Performance Conversions has received an STC for installing 751-shp Czech-built Walter M601E-11 turboprop engines and five-blade Avia propellers on the King Air C90-1, C90A, C90B, C90SE and E90. The conversion, approved last April on the basic C90, also decreases cabin noise, takeoff distance, routine maintenance costs and downtime for engine maintenance, according to the company. Cost of the conversion is $530,000, a figure that customers can reduce by selling the removed Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6s and propellers themselves. Downtime is about eight weeks. At press time the company was nearing completion of its second and third conversions. A converted airplane will be on display at the NBAA Convention later this month, and Performance Conversions will be exhibiting at Booth No. 6653.
