That's where local students are getting involved—by becoming the hands and feet of Soles4Souls in Redlands. In addition to helping Soles4Souls reach needy people around the world, Redlands Church of Christ youth group is also raising critical funds for their own programs.
"At this time of year, when we are scrambling to buy back to school items for our kids, we thought this fundraiser would be a good way to raise awareness about those in need of the most basic living essentials. Not only does it help a great cause, but it is a unique way to fundraise for our youth group. We are looking forward to this service project. We're hoping that while people shop for back to school clothes and supplies they can donate five to ten dollars to help a child somewhere who cannot afford shoes," says Jeff Partain, Youth Minister, Redlands Church of Christ.
Like many other schools and organizations, Redlands Church of Christ often utilizes fundraising programs to generate critical revenue for its operations and goals.
The Soles4Souls program provides an innovative alternative to traditional fundraisers, so students are able to raise money while making a significant difference in the lives of others.
Here's how the program works:
· Students collect monetary donations from family, friends, teachers and neighbors for the purchase of new Soles4Souls clogs or flip-flops.
· Soles4Souls ships the shoes directly to people in need, domestically and internationally.
· For every pair of $5 flipflops or $10 clogs sponsored, the school organization receives 40% of the proceeds in the form of a check from Soles4Souls, along with unique incentives for students and the programs they are representing.
"We are excited to host the BACK TO SCHOOL SOLES4SOULS FUNDRAISER at Redlands Church of Christ," states Partain. "With this program, we are hoping to further plant the seed of philanthropy in our youth, congregation and community."

Head of Digital,

TV by the people - Can the audience come up with a better show than TV professionals?
Yesterday I've started an experiment from within the TV industry. It's about creating and developing a TV show through crowd wisdom. "Audience Wisdom" if you will, and it's the first time such an idea is actually tested.
I'm relying not only on the collective brain power of hundreds; I'm also assuming crowds are semi-professional TV people, considering the dominance TV has in popular culture.
This project is linked to Ted not only in the spirit of practical innovation but also in the form of Lior Zoref - a crowd wisdom researcher who recently gave a TED talk on the subject.
Would love your thoughts on the subjects, how feasible do you think the concept is, what kind of shows you think is relevant to a collective process or any other insight.
If you have ideas for a TV show or would like to join the group please visit www.tvbythepeople.com
Mar 29 2013: It's an excellent idea going outside the 'box' for new ideas. You're right in that you don't have to be a professional to have new ideas, professionalism is choosing the few that might work and then making the proper assault. Good luck!! I will put my thinking cap on and get back to you (as a non-professional, of course).
pat gilbert
Mar 29 2013: From what I have seen crowds are not wise. I suppose if the answers are collected from individuals it might be of use?
- +2
But mostly I look to TV for entertainment, I think professionals are better at creating entertainment.
Mar 29 2013: How do you mean "not wise"?
I know that for the "wisdom of the crowds" to bring something new to the table, it usually has to be a nice amount of people (round 700) and there has to be a process. Under those terms the crowd notion is tested
Mar 30 2013: Groups of people are stupid. A riot is an extreme example of this. It is a safety in numbers mentality a do not stand out mentality.
I have also seen this in marketing where they will do a focus group, in which the individual will unwittingly acquiesce to the groups thinking. This renders the focus group irrelevant.
This is much of a speaker being able to influence a crowd.
Mar 30 2013: While I don't think I would say "stupid," here, I agree with the thrust of what Pat is saying. Research suggests that group brainstorms and focus groups are a poor way of generating creative or clever ideas, because of a tendency to conform within groups.
This is not to say that team work doesn't make great sense, in which the team is deliberately composed of people who bring different strengths to the table that are vital to understanding of a complex problem. Different strengths and knowledge is not enough. These strengths and knowledge must be pertinent to the problem.
TV as a case, though, may well be one in which it makes sense to pay attention to concepts from watchers, if one has the wherewithal to sift through them. There is a theater locally that on something like a quarterly basis poses a question to subscribers like, "describe a time that..." They then build a concept around some of their replies.Mar 30 2013: E.G. Nazi Germany the people were rendered stupid by a dictator where the citizens would do things that were not in their own best interest, the 92 riots here in LA people were rendered stupid by the riots where they would do things that were not in their own best interest, soccer games where the people will riot and even execute the players for losing, irrational exuberance where the citizens of Holland paid 10 times the annual salary of a craftsman for 1 tulip bulb, a lynch mob.
Stupid could be defined as an extreme case of ignorance that overrides the person's survival instinct. This is not the case with a functioning group with a rational purpose and goal.
Mar 30 2013: Pat and Fritzie, I can't argue with what you are saying but I feel as though it's the start of the argument/definition. Not its end.
People behave differently in a group. It could be bad but it can be great (for the most part the group inhibits rude behavior. Having people around has a big chunk of what makes our everyday life sociable)
That being said, there is enough knowledge on how to counter negative impact of a group (focus group done right are excellent source of knowledge) and enough information on how to make the best out of group (Wikipedia)
Relating to TV by the People, we designed a process that tries to balance between having everybody heard and also having a clear guidance to take the process forward. the main tool is a deadline. Desicions are made until a certain point and were moving on to the next item on the list...Mar 30 2013: A group can create bad behavior easily as with the examples I gave. I wonder if they inhibit good as well? More to the point they inhibit the individual. I will also say that most if not all good comes from an individual alone or acting in concert with other individuals as with an organization. This is different than a mob, group, crowd or collective. And not to be confused with people going about their business and exchanging with their fellow citizens.
Having been to a number of focus groups and knowing something about marketing I have not seen that knowledge displayed that Wikipedia is pointing out.
It seems to me that you are in the entertainment business consequently if what you do is entertaining you will probably do all right. I disagree with the innuendo that wisdom can be derived from a crowd.Apr 2 2013: Good luck with your project, it should come up with some great ideas. Can I offer a few thoughts.
The concept of having lots of people come up with ideas, of which a few are developed and some produced seems fairly similar to the idea behind the BBC Community Programmme Unit, where professionals developed and produced the chosen idea. This idea morphed, over thirty years, into the Video Nation. It would be worth checking out experiences from there.
I have to declare a vested interest I wrote a book called 'Anyone can make TV', when I was working as a TV professional. The reason I wrote the book was because I believe people stories are important. But when they are excluded from TV, which is still mainly the dominant medium for storytelling, peoples can come to see their beliefs and values as somewhat less important.
Too many professionals who come to crowd-sourcing, or community involvement to use a more dated term, think first of political stories, of viewpoints which challenge official and establishment voices. That need not be the case. There are I am sure many subjects, with great stories to be told, which have so far not made it through to TV screens.
From my experience, most people can be semi-professional TV makers in that much of the technical skill can be handled by technology.
Where they need help is in how to tell their stories on TV: How they will need a range of shots, how they will need to edit them into a coherent statement. How TV can be much more effective when it touches people emotions. People who do not work in the industry also need to understand the etiquette of how to use other peoples work, and what they can and can not control. It is also worth explaining to people in simple terms why you cannot say or show anything you like on TV, there have to be limits.
While for TV you have to work within the framework of slots and strands the web offers the possibility of adding colour and depth to whats broadcast.
Apr 2 2013: Thanks Seamus.
In this particular project, while were interested in hearing everyone's stories and ideas, we will probably end up developing an entertainment format (Reality or Game show or the likes, only hopefully better and different approaches to those genres)
Apr 3 2013: What a pity. That sounds so much like whats out there already.
The best bit of crowd sourcing is engaging with lots of new minds, some of whom will have fresh ideas.
There have already been TV shows which have crowd sourced clips for entertainment, similar to Mark's example, and I have seen example of game shows using viewers clips. The web has had quite a few web cam reality shows which have been used for source footage for TV shows.
Apr 3 2013: I agree, but that's not what were aiming for. Were not asking for clips. We are creating a show, from scratch and we will build it stage by stage with the group. The Reality and Game show genres have a huge spectrom and I hope we can offer something new in that area. Im very open to other genres, the only thing is that drama feels less optimal for this process.

Comment deleted
Apr 2 2013: Nope. You can post as many as you like... and as for the space limit (500 characters) that's cause we want ideas that are initial enough so that the crowd can find enough ünexplored space"thay can add their voice to createApr 4 2013: Daniel, I have always heard American TV pros do not want ideas from the general public as it brings up sticky payment issues. For instance, when I go to the website of NBC, I believe they even say right out, please don't send us ideas as we can't read them.
Is Israeli TV different in that they will accept ideas from the public, or perhaps they are the same and you are making an exception for this project? If Israeli TV is different, and stations generally take ideas from the public, why would they be different from American stations, any idea?Mar 30 2013: Have you watched Ray William Johnson on YouTube? That's essentially what his show is. Fans forward viral videos to him and he in turn cracks jokes for 3 - 5 minutes twice a week.
Mar 30 2013: Will take a look, ThanksMar 30 2013: Daniel, There is .. IMO ... no such thing as crowd wisdom. OWS was started by organizers in Canada ... it had a specific agenda and organizers / managers to guide it in the proper direction. After it went big it lost direction and appeal. The crown lack the direction / guidance it was getting ... crowds do not think they follow / react.
Unions have a big meeting .. a crowd ... the speaker gives them only limited choice and then conviences them that their choice was correct .. there was never a choice .. the decision was made by management long before the meeting was called.
What you are seeking is opinion / input from individuals .. not a crowd. It is a lot like submit a title for this photo. Once a concept is selected the public phase is over unlike a crowd that you can whip into a frenzy. Much like presidential elections in the USA. You have no voice, no input, you check the box, I will do the thinking.
Professionals can develop anything. Prior to investment there will be surveys in all market areas. If it is not profitable you woud never get a sponsor ... the "baby" would be doa.
Your marketing people already know what is hot today and have a lead on what will be hot tomarrow.
Compare what marketing tells you before you announce the results and see what the match is.
Nice jesture ... the bottom line is money.
Mar 30 2013: Hey Robert,
Im not sure if there are exact definition for what a crowd is or the process that qualifies as "crowd sourcing". I've read and learned about it and took from it what I thought might work (and this is an experiment. I don't claim to have all the answers yet, which is what I find exciting about it)
That being, I can definitely say that this is NOT a submit your caption competition. The gathering of ideas is the first phase. The fun part is where all those who submitted ideas are welcomed to a close group to develop the entire show together…
Also, the bottom line is not money. If it was, I would turn to the brilliant and experienced professionals working with me and ask for new TV show formats. This is a creative attempt that strives to be financially viable, for the company behind it and for the participant in the experiment, so that more out of the box thinking will take placeMar 29 2013: Well, it seems like a terrific idea, although I'm rather blanking on what I'd like to see. Do you have any ideas, Daniel?
I haven't owned a television for thirty years. I do enjoy talk radio here in the states partially because it is participatory, the audience can call in and get on the air and talk to the host/guests, which I have done many times. How this would work for TV I don't know, most people have a phone at home to call in but not as many have a camera to send in a real-time visual image.
One thing that interests me about myself: here in the States we talk humorously that there was a kid in every neighborhood who would eat anything for 25 cents. At age 53, I'm kind of like that. I walk a great deal, and have little hesitation about eating leaves and bugs I encounter on my walk. I will eat live snails, shell and all, if I encounter. I don't know how this could become a TV show, although I believe in Britain there is a show about foraging, where the host shows you plants you can pick growing wild that will add flavor to your prepared dishes. Well, come to think of it, that might be an excellent show for a place where they don't have it already.
What actually is TV like in Israel, news, are there lots of religious shows, are there dramas and situation comedies?
Mar 30 2013: Hey greg, in order of question marks:
I'm actually not sure what I would like to see. I guess something that on one hand qualifies as entertainment (reality, game show and the likes) and on the other hand something completely new. The entire point of this project is to see what new end result do you get when you create a new process.
As for the eating everything for 25 cents. Bring it on…submit the idea in the website. Maybe this is the start of something (creativity like creativity, you never know what will get the process going) There's no exact show like this but the concept of daring people to do stuff for money is around (fear factor)
As per Israel. The popular culture and its TV manifestation are very western and more American than European. No religious shows (most of us here aren't religious) Many comedies, dramas, Game shows and realities. We are actually one of the biggest TV show exporters to the world: Homeland (Showtime) , In treatment (HBO) Still Standing (NBC) The bubble (BBC )the common denominator (Channel 4 UK) just to name a few are Israeli creations that were adapted worldwide….
greg dahlen
Mar 30 2013: Now let's see, Daniel, is it okay to give you ideas here rather than going to the website?
- +1
Yes, I always thought the eating anything for 25 cents could make a great cartoon, there's a lot of places you could go with it, the other kids could bring the eater bigger and bigger things to eat, until he was eating whole planets. Or he could eat all the weaponry in the world and bring world peace. Or eat his loved ones and be sad.
The foraging idea is different. There really are people who well know the plants they can pick in the wild or growing by the roadside to add to their "civilized" dishes at home, in fact some of these people make a living teaching this knowledge and practice to individuals and groups. Andy Hamilton is a "master forager" who has, or had, a show on BBC in England where he would show viewers what they could pick. He has a website, selfsufficientish.com.
When I lived in L.A., I had a friend on the next block who was a pretty nice fellow but a heavy crack cocaine user. Most morning he would get up and go through the alley trashbins looking for empty cans and bottles he could redeem for money. When he had twenty dollars he'd buy his cocaine. I'd often bump into him and walk with him as he gathered containers, and we'd talk. He was actually quite bright and interesting. I often thought that might make an interesting TV show, or at least a few programs, just us walking through the alley and talking about ideas, people, but I couldn't figure out how to do it, since what gave it extra interest was his drug habit and he didn't want that on TV.
I think possibly a show about the life of alleys, especially in big cities where there is a lot of life in alleys, would be interesting. Any show about walking would interest me.
Mar 30 2013: Hey Greg. Im afraid you'll have to go through the website. Having everything gathered in one place allows me to have a much more orderly back office. Also, there's the development team (for the idea we will end up going with) and the communication inviting you tp that group is being sent using the site infrastructure. Bring your idea to our alleyApr 1 2013: Well, somehow, Daniel, I tend to only want to spend a certain amount of time on forum-type websites, and TED meets my needs the best. But it's always good to get an invitation.
Is there some financial issue involved? For example, if you use an idea I give you on TED, perhaps you would have to pay me? Whereas, if you use a "crowd's" idea, you don't have to pay, because it's not clear who came up with the idea? Although technically, you should pay everyone in the crowd a portion, because they all contributed?
Apr 2 2013: The cotributer of the idea we end up developing gets ownership in the format, credit and related revenues (as are four members of the tem)Apr 3 2013: Re "the cotributer of the idea": well, if it's developed by a crowd, how do you differentiate the one "contributor"? How is it different from just creating a website that says give us your idea for a TV show, and if we use it, we'll pay you? That website might interest me, somehow I'm not as interested in the crowd idea for myself.Mar 28 2013: I had an interesting comment from Cedric Lamesh placed my on my FB page, to which I responded. Here it is:
I think you will have a lot or work To gather all the ideas... And i think that if there are professionnals, there Is a reason why
No, seriously, experience of Users Generated Content shows us that you will always receive 95% of bad ideas.... But there are some genius that will maybe succeed In surprising you!
Very Good Stuff Anyway!
I'm not really setting out to see if professionals can be replaced (I'll be out of a job) I aim to see if something great can come out of many non professionals working together (that's the premise of crowd wisdom)
I also think that most ideas wouldn't be great but I think it's the same with professionals. The absolute Majority of creatives' creative work doesn't become a format.
I think it's an experiment worth taking with a feasible creative process and clear business model at its end.

Regulatory Actions for Unsponsored HPV Chemicals
In the HPV Challenge Program, companies agreed to provide basic hazard information on ("sponsored") more than 2,200 HPV chemicals. About 1,400 chemicals were sponsored directly through EPA's HPV Challenge Program and over 860 chemicals were sponsored indirectly through international efforts. Other chemicals, however, remained unsponsored in the voluntary program (6 pp., 42 KB, About PDF). Basic hazard data for these unsponsored chemicals are being obtained through regulatory efforts, such as TSCA section 4 test rules and TSCA section 8(a) (production and use) and 8(d) (unpublished health and safety studies) rules. EPA is also initiating actions, such as significant new use rules (SNUR), to manage risks from HPV unsponsored chemicals.
One way to collect additional chemical information is through TSCA section 4 test rules. In order to issue a TSCA Section 4 test rule, certain risk-based and/or exposure-based findings for a chemical must be made as required by statute. EPA has used this authority in several rulemakings.
On this page you will find the following information:
- Final Test Rule for the First Group of Unsponsored HPV Chemicals (HPV1)
- Final Test Rule for the Second Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV2)
- Final Test Rule for the Third Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV3)
- Proposed Test Rule and SNUR for the Fourth Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV4)
- HPV TSCA Section 8(a)/8(d) Rules
Final Test Rule for the First Group of Unsponsored HPV Chemicals (HPV1)
The first TSCA section 4 test rule to collect chemical data for unsponsored HPV chemicals was issued on March 16, 2006 (71 FR 13708). This final rule required 52 manufacturers and processors of 17 HPV chemicals to conduct screening-level tests to collect data on the chemicals' physical and chemical properties, toxic effects, and environmental fate. (On December 8, 2006, EPA issued a direct final rule that revoked testing requirements for one of the chemicals subject to the test rule (71 FR 71058).)
The data obtained under the first test rule has provided critical information about 16 unsponsored HPV chemicals, which will better enable the Agency to evaluate the potential risks of these substances and take any appropriate management actions regarding them.
Final Test Rule for the Second Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV2)
On January 7, 2011, EPA issued a second final test rule to require manufacturers of an additional 19 HPV chemicals to conduct testing on the health and environmental effects of these chemicals and submit the data to EPA. Note that EPA has published a technical correction to this rule.
The 19 chemicals in the second HPV test rule announced October 21, 2011, under Section 4 of TSCA have a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications. For example, diphenylmethanone is used in consumer products and may be found in personal care products, and 9, 10-anthracenedione is used to manufacture dyes.
Final Test Rule for the Third Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV3)
On February 25, 2010, EPA proposed a third test rule that would require manufacturers and processors of 29 HPV chemicals listed in the proposed rule to conduct environmental fate, ecotoxicity, acute toxicity, genetic toxicity, repeated dose toxicity, and developmental and reproductive toxicity testing.
On October 21, 2011, EPA issued a final test rule under TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B) to require manufacturers, importers, and processors of 15 HPV chemical substances to conduct testing to obtain screening level data for health and environmental effects and chemical fate. EPA has determined that each of the 15 chemical substances included in this final rule is produced in substantial quantities and that there is or may be substantial human exposure to each of them.
Moreover, EPA believes that there are insufficient data to reasonably determine or predict the effects on human health or on the environment from the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of these chemicals, or from any combination of these activities. EPA has concluded that this testing program is needed and appropriate for developing such data.
Data developed under this final rule will provide critical information about the environmental fate and potential hazards associated with these chemicals which, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate potential health and environmental risks and to take appropriate action.
Those who export or intend to export any chemical substance included in the final rule would be subject to the export notification requirements in TSCA section 12(b)(1) and at 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. EPA has also taken steps to consider animal welfare and to provide instructions on ways to reduce or in some cases eliminate animal testing, while at the same time ensuring that public health is protected.
Proposed Test Rule and SNUR for the Fourth Group of HPV Unsponsored Chemicals (HPV4)
The 45 chemicals in these two rules are the remaining chemicals that were not sponsored during the HPV Challenge Program.
While 23 of the chemicals meet the exposure findings required to include them in a test rule, the 22 chemicals included in the SNUR do not meet those exposure findings. For those remaining 22 chemicals, the proposed SNUR designates use in a consumer product and any use or combination of uses that is reasonably likely to expose 1,000 or more workers at a single corporate entity (defined as the aggregate of all of the domestic facilities owned or operated by an individual corporation) as significant new uses.
The proposed SNUR would require filing a significant new use notice (SNUN) with EPA prior to manufacturing, importing or processing any of the 22 chemicals included in the SNUR for either of the significant new uses.
The proposed test rule would require manufacturers and processors of the 23 HPV chemicals to develop screening-level health, environmental, and fate data as outlined in the test rule based on potential for substantial exposures of workers and consumers to these chemicals.
HPV TSCA Section 8(a)/8(d) Rules
Another regulatory option exists to collect health and environmental effects data for those unsponsored HPV chemicals for which statutory findings under TSCA Section 4 cannot readily be made. EPA can request that the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) add the chemicals to the TSCA Section 4(e) Priority Testing List. Based on the ITC listing, the Agency can then include the chemicals in a TSCA Section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment and Information Reporting (PAIR) rule and a TSCA Section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting (HaSDR) rule.
Section 8(a) PAIR rules require producers and importers to submit to EPA one-time reports on production/importation volumes, end uses, and exposure-related data for the listed chemicals. Section 8(d) rules require producers and importers to submit to EPA copies and lists of certain types of unpublished health and safety studies for the listed chemicals to EPA. Submitters under the 8(d) rule are also requested to provide robust summaries of health and environmental effects studies. Upon the receipt of 8(d) rule data, EPA will review all submitted chemical information for adequacy and makes robust summaries of submitted data publicly available through HPVIS. Should information for any chemicals still be inadequate, EPA can evaluate PAIR rule data and other data to determine if it can be used to make findings for a TSCA Section 4 test rule.
A TSCA Section 8(a) rule (71 FR 47122) and a TSCA Section 8(d) rule (71 FR 47130) were issued on August 16, 2006, for 243 HPV chemicals that were not sponsored in the voluntary portion of the HPV Challenge Program. EPA later withdrew 33 of these chemicals from both the 8(a) PAIR and the 8(d) HaSDR rules in a final rule issued on September 29, 2006 (71 FR 57439). In a subsequent direct final rule issued on April 30, 2007, EPA removed two additional chemicals from the 8(a) PAIR and the 8(d) HaSDR rules (72 FR 21119). EPA is also initiating actions, such significant new use rules (SNUR), to manage risks from HPV unsponsored chemicals.

The daily adventures of a mom of 12 who loves to run and is training hard to see just how good I can be.
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
My training started again on Friday with a 12 mile run. The goal was four miles at 7:30-7:45 pace, then four miles at 7:15, then four miles at 7:30-7:45. I may have been a wee bit excited and my splits were -
7:05, 7:26, 7:16, 7:26, 6:58, 7:02, 7:00, 6:58, 7:04, 7:07, 7:09, 7:25.
Saturday was an easy day, and then the plan for Sunday was 8 miles with 2 miles @ 7:30 pace, 4 miles at 7:00 and then two cool down miles and five strides. It was a tough and hilly run. Splits were - 7:20, 7:25, 6:45, 6:43, 7:00, 6:48, 7:49, 8:14 plus 5x100m strides.
Yesterday was an easy day, and then today the plan was for 10 miles with 2 miles @ 7:30, 6x1 mile repeats at 7:00 with two minute rest intervals, then a two mile cool down. I knew before I started this run that I wanted the mile repeats faster than a 7:00 flat and knew I could do it.
Splits for today were 7:23, 7:20, 6:47, 6:33, 6:38, 6:39, 6:25, 6:16, 7:37, 7:43
This was the MOST fun run I have had in a long time. I felt strong and fast, and even though it was a harder effort the paces came pretty easily and I could have run a few more mile repeats at these paces. I had fun, and for the first time since the Utah Valley disaster I really FELT like I was fast and strong, instead of feeling like I was trying to feel like I was fast and strong.
I have not felt my hip at all the last two days, and I have started back doing a killer core routine (three times a week) and my strength routine (two times a week). It feels good to be back.
Yes indeed. Beast Mode is ON. :)

Major League Soccer
Just two weeks after ending the Houston Dynamo's long home undefeated run, Sporting Kansas City now play host when the Eastern Conference clubs face off Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. Sporting return home off a two-game road trip that ended with a 1-1 draw at D.C. United last weekend. The Dynamo are coming off a second consecutive home loss, this time a 2-0 reverse by the New England Revolution.
Broadcast Info
TV: NBC Sports Network
Radio: 1560 AM / 850 AM
Starting Lineups
Dynamo: Hall; Sarkodie, Clark, Brunner, Ashe; Davis, Moffat, Barnes; Boniek, Bruin, Driver
Subs: Deric, Arena, Chabala, Creavalle, Camargo, Ching, Johnson
Sporting KC: Nielsen; Jerome, Opara, Besler, Sinovic; Nagamura, Rosell, Joseph; Peterson, Bieler, Zusi
Subs: Kronberg, Myers, Olum, Gardner, Lopez, Thomas, Kamara
Get up-to-the minute stats throughout the match
Dominic Kinnear, Will Bruin and Corey Ashe look at Sunday's matchup against Sporting Kansas City, the growing rivalry between the two clubs and how that will transfer to the game on the field.
CSN Houston's Sara Eckert breaks down Jermaine Taylor's injury and what it means for the Houston Dynamo.
It's always interesting to see the Twitter reaction when a new player is invited into a national team camp. No one is shy to voice their opinion and there are no shortage of opinions being voiced. So on Thursday, with the announcement that Corey Ashe has been added to the U.S. men's national team roster for its upcoming game against Belgium, it's no surprise that Twitter was the place to be for instant analysis. Here are just a few snippets from the Twitterverse
About time Corey Ashe got a call-up. Well done. #DomKinnearSoccerFactory
— Matthew T (@shinguardian) May 23, 2013
YES. Great decision by Klinsmann. Congrats to @coreyashe on his call-up. I've seen him as a top LB in MLS this year. Very consistent.
— Jonathan Yardley (@jtyardley) May 23, 2013
Mentioned a few wks ago that I rated Corey Ashe of @houstondynamo. He's just been called into #USMNT squad for Belgium game on May 29. Cover
— Arlo White (@arlowhite) May 23, 2013
Corey Ashe added to #USMNT roster. Long overdue for a look at left back.
— Thomas Floyd (@thomasfloyd10) May 23, 2013
So while many seem to agree that Ashe's call-up in long overdue, one has to ask: Why now? Well according to US Soccer, the squad will be without left backs Edgar Castillo and Fabian Johnson for the match against Belgium as both players are still with their club teams. That leaves DaMarcus Beasley as the only "true" left back option for Klinsmann's squad. So with a void at the left back position (one that has plagued US Soccer for quite some time) Klinsmann turned to MLS and a player who made a seamless transition to the position just over two years ago.
Dominic Kinnear initially switched Ashe to left back to mark former Red Bulls striker Dane Richards. Former Red Bulls manager Hans Backe thought so highly of the speedy defender that he selected him to his MLS All-Star team to help neutralize Manchester United winger Nani. Two years later, Ashe finds himself with the opportunity to earn his first national team cap against a squad with the likes of Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini.
According to Opta, the official stats provider for Major League Soccer, in 2012, Ashe completed 784 passes in the opposition's half, good for second among MLS defenders. He also attempted 331 passes in the opposition's final third (third best among MLS defenders), as he learned to adjust between the 4-4-2 and the 4-3-3 that the Dynamo played in 2012. So even though Ashe made the transition from midfielder to defender, he has consistently looked to aid the Dynamo attack, a trait that has caught the attention of Klinsmann.
So what do you think Dynamo fans? Would you like to see a USMNT back line featuring former teammates Geoff Cameron and Corey Ashe? Do you think Ashe has what it takes to stick with the national team? Leave us your thoughts in the comments section below.
Dynamo broadcast Glenn Davis is back on the air tonight with a new episode of Dynamo All-Access. The show will air on Yahoo! Sports Radio 1560 AM from 7-9 p.m.
Guests for the show include Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear, Dynamo president Chris Canetti, Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen as well as assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin. Davis will also chat with Nigerian national team head coach Stephen Keshi about his team's upcoming match against Mexico at Reliant Stadium.
The call-in number for the show is 713-439-1560.
As the Houston Dynamo prepare for Sunday's showdown against Sporting KC, Eddie Robinson takes a look at the key storylines heading into the match.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee has Houston Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell one additional game and fined him an undisclosed amount for violent conduct that endangered the safety of his opponent, New England Revolution forward Dimitry Imbongo in the 39th minute of their game on May 18.
Boswell was issued a red card for the offense, and the Committee unanimously determined that Boswell's head butt was an egregious act that required further sanction. Thus, Boswell will serve a total suspension of two games – this Sunday at Sporting Kansas City and June 1 at the Columbus Crew.
Mind blown.
That's the reaction right now in the world of American soccer with today's announcement that Manchester City FC and the New York Yankees have joined forces for New York City FC, the 20th team in Major League Soccer, which will begin play in 2015.
A second team in the New York market has long been the goal of MLS commissioner Don Garber and he has not been shy with his intentions. The addition of the New York Yankees, however, is news to everyone. While some might question whether or not a second team in the New York market is good for MLS, Dynamo president Chris Canetti believes this is a positive step for Major League Soccer.
"This is a great announcement for MLS and a big positive step forward," Canetti said. "I know that Commissioner Garber has worked long and hard to make this project a reality and it is good to see his vision come to fruition. It is another symbol of MLS' growth and development."
Canetti understands what it takes to be successful in New York City. The Connecticut native joined the New York MetroStars in 2000 and worked for the organization until he joined the Houston Dynamo in May 2006.
"I believe that the New York market can support two teams because of the variable dynamics there," he added. "I think New York City will be an incredible success story given its location and the huge soccer market within a short distance of the stadium."
So while the move to put the league's 20th team might be good for New York sports fans, what does this mean for the Dynamo?
In 2011, the Dynamo were moved from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference to make room for the Portland Timbers and the Vancouver Whitecaps. When the Montreal Impact joined MLS in 2012, the Dynamo remained in the Eastern Conference, giving the East 10 teams and the West nine teams. With NYCFC beginning play in 2015, does that spell a potential move back to the Western Conference for the Dynamo?
"I can only guess, but it would seem to make sense that the Dynamo are relocated back to the Western Conference," Canetti said. "It would balance out the conferences with 10 teams per side, and it makes the most geographical sense for us to be realigned."
There are lots of things to consider with a potential move back to the Western Conference for the Dynamo. The move would potentially mean a revival of the Texas Derby with multiple games played each year between the Dynamo and FC Dallas. A switch could also halt the budding rivalry between the Dynamo and Sporting KC. In the grand scheme of things, a move back to the Western Conference for the Dynamo could lead to the return of a balanced schedule that fans have long called for.
So what do you think Dynamo fans? Do you like the addition of New York City FC to MLS? Would you like to see the Dynamo back in the Western Conference? Leave us your thoughts in the comments section below.
Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching joined Glenn Davis on Soccer Matters Monday night to talk about Saturday's match against the New England Revolution and the current state of the Dynamo. Davis will be back on the airways Thursday night when he hosts Dynamo All-Access from 7-9 p.m on 1560 AM.

En español l Fed up with waiting weeks for a medical appointment — and then getting only a few precious minutes with your doctor? The unnecessary tests and referrals to a specialist? Insurance hassles, red tape?
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
So are doctors. And a small but growing number are refusing to accept their patients' medical insurance. Instead, doctors are running their practices on a "membership" model that they claim allows them to spend more time with their patients and to provide better care.
It's called direct primary care, a less expensive offshoot of concierge medicine, which traditionally has been reserved for higher-income patients who pay thousands of dollars per year for longer appointments, better access and more personal care with their doctors. (But in addition to memberships, some concierge practitioners accept insurance; direct primary care doctors don't accept any insurance.)
So, is direct primary care right for you? Here are answers to some questions you may have:
How does direct primary care work?
Patients pay a monthly membership fee — typically $50 to $80. In exchange, they get a more generous allocation of appointments, sometimes for the same day or the day after they called. Appointments usually last longer than the average seven minutes per insurance-based visit. Doctors are often accessible via phone, email or Internet chat and some even make house calls.
At some practices, there are no additional copays. Routine tests and procedures are included. At others (usually charging a lower membership fee), certain services are provided at a significantly discounted rate, or a small fee may be charged if patients request more time with the doctor. Privately insured patients may seek reimbursement for such costs on their own.
Why is this happening?
Physicians and researchers cite three reasons — but all relate to one thing: insurance hassles.
Money: Under the traditional system, most medical practices need a large staff to ensure that they are reimbursed by health insurers. This results in higher overhead — which eats up to 60 percent of a typical practice's revenue — and forces doctors to see more patients in order to cover costs. At the same time, some insurance reimbursements to physicians have decreased in recent years. "Most estimates show that a medical practice spends 30 percent or more of its time and money just trying to collect payments from insurance companies," says Ryan Neuhofel, D.O. who operates a pay-as-you-go family medicine practice in Lawrence, Kan., consisting of himself and a nurse. (Both answer the phone.) "And when we're taking notes about patient visits or care, it's mostly about checking off boxes to satisfy insurance requirements."
Freedom: To get reimbursed, insurers may dictate how doctors must treat each patient based on their concern. "Sometimes, in order to get paid — and meet the insurance metrics model — all a doctor can do is order a test, refer the patient to a specialist or prescribe medication," says researcher Dave Chase. "Communication with patients is their most valuable tool, but they know that if they get into detailed discussions, it blows their productivity numbers."
Better care for patients: Without insurance mandates, doctors treat patients as they deem fit. The membership model provides a steady income, allowing doctors to see fewer patients each day — and therefore freeing the doctors to spend more time with each. Established direct primary care practices average 800 to 1,000 patients; a comparable insurance-dependent practice averages 2,500 to 4,000.

i watched robert woods bowl game and if not for that qb looking like straight *** he would have went off...i'd be stoked to get him at #42...whatever that guy is in the pros i like it

for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
i'll pass on toilet lolo...
@TonyPauline: "As we've been reporting since start of October, Gavin Escobar/TE/SDSU officially in draft."
If the tight end position is ignored in the first couple of rounds, he could be an pretty good pickup in the third perhaps?
I remain very interested in Levine Toilolo. I don't know how a man that tall manages to play with that kind of pad level, but I find it very intriguing.
Twitter: @ckparrot
so far LSU is losing the following players to the draft
Barkevious Mingo
Kevin Minter
Brad Wing
Spencer Ware
Tharold Simon
Eric Reid
Michael Ford
Sam Montgomery
Bennie Logan
Still gonna have talent, but that is a lot to replace. Only 2 fairly easy will be Ford and Ware and that's because they have Hill and Blue
How do you college experts feel about Eddie Lacy in the pros? Now he is my kind of back! He is dominating today but I wonder is it the o line setting him up?

Lacy is a nice prospect in his own right, but he's not on the level of a Trent Richardson or even Mark Ingram.

Great Thread!!
A newbie here (retired) or should I say just plain tired! I too have found "manual" reading and then doing very difficult, especially the hidden menus! This board has been a Godsend and I have had nothing but good service from Miller techs.. and the humble experts on the board.
As for me when I get stumped I first ask my Wife (younger then me) to read it for me (LOL) and then I go practice, I now know why those teachers used to say "ok class lets READ IT AGAIN" now if I can just remember where I put the manual (or what fricking MS Windows folder I put the .pdf in??--dang it where are my glasses??? HONEY HAVE YOU SEEN MY GLASSES???

anyone have any input on the pulse feature? I have tried it on the turntable with the settings the dairy welder gave me and DC, if the average current on pulse equals the current setting on DC I cant tell any difference in the weld on .0625 stainless tube?
I have noticed it is noisier and the tungsten point lasts longer on very low current settings.
Someone jump in and tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing that I should etc...??
According to that refrigerator door article it was a lifesaver to them, maybe I am using too thick material for it to make a real difference??
The spot weld function is neat, I will just have to figure out something I can use it for.mike sr
I noticed it has been a couple days without a reply so I thought I would offer my two cents concerning pulse. Fair warning, I am not a weld engineer, but wanted offer my point of view anyway.
First off, I'm not sure if we have done a good enough job explaining what is changing when you adjust the pulse parameters. Here is a rough guide:
PPS = Pulses per second. This is basically the number of cycles that your machine will go from high amperage to low amperage in one second. This is also called Hertz
PEAK t = Peak Time. This is the percent of time the machine spends in the high amperage portion of the pulse cycle. If you set this at 60%, you will spend 60% of each pulse cycle at your peak amperage (which is set at your main amperage control)
BKGND A = Background Amperage. This is controling the amperage of the low portion of the pulse cycle as a percent of the peak amperage. Lets say you have your main amperage control (peak) set at 100 amps, and your BKGND A at 50%, your background amperage will be 50 amps.
Judging by your comment of figuring out the average amperage, you are familiar with what you are adjusting so lets move on.
Depending on what you want to accomplish with the pulse feature there are two basic methods of setting up your machine.
If bead appearance (ripple pattern) is what you are interested in, I would suggest using a slow pulse parameter 2-5 PPS. This helps me time my filler metal dipping for that consistant ripple. Sometimes I am able to lay the filler in front of the puddle on the low portion of the pulse cycle and let the high portion of the pulse cycle expand the weld puddle to wick in the filler for me.
I vary Peak Time percentage based on penetration and material thickness. The thicker the material the greater the peak time, but generally I stay between 40% and 60% (more often than not closer to 60%).
I vary the BKGND A based on how fast I want to move. The higher the setting the faster I can move while maintaining a decent weld (I say decent, because ... well, I'm just not that good). Again, I start between 40% and 60%, but more often than not closer to the 40%
The other basic method is high speed pulse (150 - 200 PPS). This can be useful for reducing heat affected zone and increasing travel speeds by creating a narrower/more focused arc cone which is a result of the higher speed pulse.
You may need to start out with a slightly higher Peak Time (60-70%), or slightly higher BKGND A (50-60%) to get a good puddle formed.
If you are not adding filler, you may see some really good results from higher speed pulse, but if you are adding filler do so like you normally would, or use the "lay wire" technique.
Again, these are only starting points.
Anyway, there are my two cents. I encourage others to add theirs'.
As always, thank you for support of Miller and have a good day.Joe Ryan

I think it will be benificial on these thin gage carbon steel pipes, I will go back to the higher frequency pulse and with the info from the last article, I may have a better idea of what to look for etc.
Its hard to teach an old dog a new trick, but I am going to give it my best shot!!mike sr
Thanks Joe,
I understand the procedure, and your post is helpful. I am concerned with what the benefits are etc. I guess the best way to find out is to experiment and see what happens, I am using 500 cycles and 50 percent peak and 20 percent background. It does make the tungsten point last longer as the low current (14amps) would be better suited to the .020 tungsten but that is so fragile I really dont like using it.
I am going to experiment with a much higher current and less percentage on the peak and maintain the same average and see what it looks like. penetration isnt critical on this particular weld but it does need to look nice.
I am thinking that my main problems are eyesight and hand control, both of which could be cured by shaving 40 years off my age ha!!
It is a nice machine though, I tried stick the other day and it worked fine too.mike sr

Question about Miller Dynasty 350 setup
Hey to all from a new member,
On the 14 pin Amphenol connector, which 2 (lettered) contacts would I use to hook up a remote momentary contact switch for 2T hold mode?
Can I access the arc voltage for use with an automatic torch positioner? Can I get the voltage minus the starting high frequency?
Thanks very much,
Edit: I found the answers on page 31 of the Dynasty 350 PDF.
Hi all
Is it possible to upgrade "old style" 200DX to the new Blue Lightning arc starts? My DX was purchased new in 07.
Thats the one issue i have had is that it does, on occasion, have erratic starts, other than that, an amazing machine.
ThanksMillermatic 251/30a spoolgun

I do not believe that it is possible. This is due to the software and hardware differences on your machine.

You are absolutely right. I recieved a very speedy reply from Miller about this, and they said the same thing.
Don't you hate it when stuff becomes obsolete so quick? I was thinking of selling the Dynasty as i have a new (to me) Syncrowave 250, but i might as well keep it, as i won't get much for the "old style".Millermatic 251/30a spoolgun

Minnesota Embalming Rooms
Putting Useless Government Requirements to Rest
Verlin Stoll in front of his funeral home, Crescent Tide.
Verlin Stoll is a 27-year-old entrepreneurial dynamo who owns Crescent Tide funeral home in Saint Paul, Minn. Verlin has built a successful business because he offers low-cost funerals while providing high-quality service. His business is also one of the only funeral homes that benefits low-income families who cannot afford the high prices of the big funeral-home companies.
Verlin wants to expand his business, hire new employees and continue to offer the lowest prices in the Twin Cities, but Minnesota refuses to let Verlin build a second funeral home unless he builds a $30,000 embalming room that he will never use.
Why is Minnesota forcing Verlin to waste $30,000 on a useless embalming room as a condition of expanding his thriving business?
So that the big, full-amenity funeral-home businesses can benefit from a law that drives up prices for consumers and operating expenses for competitors such as Verlin. Verlin's basic services fee is only $250, which is about 90 percent lower than the $2,500 that the average Twin Cities' funeral home charges. Verlin's business model is built on minimizing fixed costs, which is why he does not have a hearse or chapel, and this law—to the advantage of his competitors—stands in the way of him expanding his low-cost, high-quality approach.
The government should not force Minnesotans to do useless things. That is why on January 19, 2012, Verlin and the Institute for Justice challenged the law in state court.
On October 9, 2013, a Ramsey County Court judge struck down Minnesota's embalming-room requirement as unconstitutional and recognized that Minnesota had violated Verlin's right to earn an honest living. The Judge ruled that "The embalming-room requirement, which would require Stoll to expend $30,000 or more to build a preparation and embalming room at any funeral establishment where no preparation and embalming is performed, constitutes an irrational exercise of the state's police power."
With this ruling, Verlin is free to expand his business to serve a broader community without having to waste money on useless government requirements.

Being fairly new at this, I was wondering how you learned to weld? School, apprenticeship, self taught? Also, at what age did you learn? I've been watching as many youtube videos and reading as much as I can and then practicing to try to teach myself. Just thought it'd be interesting to see how other did it...

I used to do the same. To be great at something you need to have the passion for it. I Started out trying to build lowrider mini trucks. I started by repairing my bosses chair(didn't hold ) My cousin showed me how to set up my first mig I bought (Centeruy 110 volt welder when I was 15).I then started chopping frames on trucks, doing sheet metal work, then suspension work and it wasn't pretty but always strong. I bought welder books and some O/A tanks to learn how to gas weld then on the side I just started fixing stuff. I bought a Syn 250 for $500 like new and researched how to TIG....I burned up a water cooled gun cause I had no clue what I was doing. I then worked for the local township and had free reign to learn with an mm250 and an old old ac/dc stick machine. I started my first full time apprentice/welding job when I was like 27 and learned from 2 very good fabricators with different outlooks and a grudge towards each other. I paid my way through vo tech and took some basic tig and blueprint classes to see where I stood . The entire time I have been on millerwelds.com and any good welding site including youtube just doing research. I still to this day stay late at work and practice then and through my breaks just to perfect things. I currently work for a large construction company doing d1.1 and d1.5 structural work as well as repairs on random odd stuff like cast iron, cast aluminum and cast steel and stainless. I started doing the student bridge project for NJIT 2 years ago and will be starting the third round tomorrow. I tinker in my garage all the time despite downgrading to a Diversion 165 and mm 140. One of my side jobs was developing and building the first run of the "Jersey Boot" tactical breaching device for my friends at http://jerseytactical.com Dave

Where or how did you learn to weld?
Started when I was 15 as a pipe welder helper with my uncle went on into bit of structural when I was 19 then at 22 till now which I'm 25 been working at a shop building anything from gas pipes to fence panels which I really have a passion for because I'm not just stuck with the same routine , one day I could be welding pressurized gas pipe and another I could be welding structural beams
I find all this very interesting. Everyone has a story and you can quickly tell in most cases whether or not someone has a passion for something. I've had many throughout my life (almost 63 years) and welding has been something that I've been wanting to learn for quite some time. My Son & I had a small powder coating shop for about 7 years. He did all the welding and I never had, or took the time to learn. I did some O&A brazing in High School, but that was it. We sold the shop about 2 years ago before the economy got any worse. He sold his welders and that was that. Now that I'm retired, I feel that it's time I tackle my bucket list.


text: After former captain Todor Stoykov retired two years ago, Filip Videnov has emerged as the reference player and a real leader for the Bulgarian National Team due to his scoring power which was the feature of the Qualifying Round last summer. In fact he scored more than twice the points of any other player on the roster and that is how reliant his team have become on him. The versatile guard who can also occupy the small forward spot if required has always been prolific and showed two years ago in Poland he knows how to find ways of scoring at the elite level. This is due to his ability to not only shoot from downtown but to also drive to the hoop and either make plays or get himself on the foul line. There are not many players from Bulgaria who manage to play at the same club level as Videnov which last season included a first full season in Euroleague. Now 31-years-old, it's easy to forget he also brings a veteran 'know how' to the team and is someone for the younger players to look up to. He is difficult to guard for opposing defenders due to his willingness to roam all over the court in pursuit of a score, but the real beauty of Videnov is that when defences are drawn to him, he has the vision to find an open team-mate. He is happy dishing up assists as well as taking responsibility himself and can assume the role of playmaker. He is by no means only a shooter and works hard on defence as well as being an excellent rebounder. Earlier this year he won the Polish Championship with a typically influential contribution.

Monday, January 12, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 12, 2004) - It had been 23 days since the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team played a game inside Memorial Center. The Bucs made the homecoming enjoyable. Five ETSU players reached double-figures and the Buccaneers forced 36 Union College turnovers on their way to a relatively unchallenged 100-62 non-conference victory over the Bulldogs Monday night. ETSU improved to 11-4 overall and will return to Southern Conference play at home Saturday against Western Carolina (4 p.m.). Meanwhile, Union Colllege dropped to 8-10. "A win is a win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team went 3-2 overall and 2-0 in SoCon play during its 23-day hiatus from Johnson City. "We got off to a good start tonight, but things did get sloppy at times. When you get up 20 at the half it's hard to sustain that momentum, but we were able to do that in the second half." The Bucs opened the game with an offensive flurry that included runs of 9-0 and 11-0. In the end, ETSU led 27-4 following a three-point play by freshman guard Aaron Scott (Houma, La.) at the 12:05 mark of the first half. Union managed to keep ETSU from pulling away even further the rest of the half and trailed by 22 points 52-30 at the break. In the second half, the Bucs kept the lead in the mid-20s until going on a 24-3 in the final minutes to make it 100-54 with 1:17 remaining. Union rallied to score the final eight points of the game for the final score of 100-62. The Bucs shot 46 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the foul line. In addition, they grabbed a paltry 25 steals, while Union shot just 47 percent from the foul line. As for individual performances, ETSU was led by senior forward Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.), who picked up a team-high 22 points and eight rebounds. Fields was joined in double figures by senior Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.), sophomore Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.), sophomore Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) and true freshman Travis Strong (Memphis, Tenn.). Smith collected 19 points and Nuckles had 13, while Strong and Wadood added 12 and 11, respectively. For Scott, the 12-point effort was a career high, while Nuckles also picked up a career best with five steals. Union was led by Aaron Troutman with 17 and Chris Mullins pitched in 10.

The sound of a Porsche is a unique characteristic, and we're not referring only to the engine. The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System was specially developed for the 911 and is therefore perfectly tuned to the car's specific interior acoustics.
It has a total output of 445 watts and comprises eight amplifier channels, 12 loudspeakers and a patented integral 100-watt active subwoofer. The combined effect is a balanced acoustic pattern that transforms your 911 into a fast-moving concert hall.
In combination with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, the BOSE® Surround Sound System enables audio playback of DVDs and is thus able to make full use of the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you can still play other audio sources, such as CDs and MP3s, in stereo or, at the push of a button, in one of the virtual surround modes generated by BOSE® Centerpoint® 2.
The BOSE®-patented AudioPilot® noise compensation technology uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback instantly and automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained – whatever the driving conditions.
The result is a powerful sound and captivating 360° acoustic experience.

Time to move your bobhouse
CONCORD -- It's no joke: The Fish and Game Department is reminding ice fishermen the deadline for removing all bobhouses from the ice is April 1.
The structures also cannot be left on public or private property without permission, Fish and Game advised.
The law is designed to ensure that bobhouses and their contents don't fall through the ice and become a hazard to boaters or get left behind on shore, explained Sgt. Dave Eskeland of the agency's law enforcement division.
Failure to remove a bobhouse by the deadline can result in a fine and a one-year loss of the owner's fishing license. In cases where conservation officers cannot identify the bobhouse owner, Fish and Game has the authority to seize any bobhouse and its contents not removed by the deadline, Eskeland said.
For more information, contact the local conservation officer or Fish and Game's law enforcement division at 271-3127.

|The Cake Mix Doctor Returns!
~ Anne Byrn
Mixes to Masterpieces
Anne Byrn, author of the bestselling cookbook The Cake Mix Doctor, has recently introduced a welcome, updated "sequel", The Cake Mix Doctor Returns!
Anne, the former food editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Tennessean newspapers, lives with her family in Nashville, Tennessee. According to Anne, it all began when she "wrote a story for The Tennessean in June 1998, sharing cake mix recipes my family had doctored." The reaction was so unbelievable… I asked readers to send in their own favorites. I received 500 recipes within one week and realized that this likely should be a book. Yes, it was a great idea, especially for summertime in the south. Take a box of cake mix — add some additional ingredients — and go from the ordinary to extraordinary."
Will you share some of your favorites with us?
Anne also recommends the Chocolate Espresso Pound Cake and the Apple Cider Cake; "The secret is to start with good apple cider!" Sample Anne's wonderful creations by trying her very moist and delicious Fresh Orange Birthday Cake — even if you are not celebrating a birthday.
