Project Location The project is located on St. Louis Road at the crossing of the BNSF Railway Company line leased to Portland and Western Railroad. The crossing is approximately 0.8 miles west of I-5 and 1.6 miles northwest of the city of Gervais.
Project Purpose and Need
The railroad crossing is currently controlled by STOP signs. All other BNSF Railway public highway crossings in Marion County are controlled by flashing light signals and automatic gates or are grade separated. Upgrading the crossing to flashing light signals and gates will enhance the safety at this location. Project DescriptionRemove existing STOP signs and install flashing light signals, automatic gates and guardrail. The grade of St. Louis Road will be raised on both approaches to the crossing to accommodate increased speeds resulting from removal of the STOP signs. Tesch Lane will also be raised at its intersection with St. Louis Road. The road may be closed to through traffic during the raising of the road grade. Local traffic access to adjacent properties and to the County Park south of Tesch Lane will be allowed during the road closure.
Funding SourceFederal Highway-Railroad Crossings Program under Title 23, United States Code
Project Cost Range$100,000 to $500,000

Get your gear ratio bang-on with the perfect combo. Selecting a bigger sprocket – up to 36T – means it will be harder to pedal, while rings as small as 23T can enable you to run a micro drive set-up, saving weight and improving clearance. Sprockets come in a range of patterns and colours, from specialist BMX brands like WeThePeople, Proper, United and Odyssey. To get the right ratio for you, think about the size of your freewheel – the smaller cog which fits to the rear hub and completes the gearing package.

The campaign conversation we're having now was accurately predicted last year by Rep. Steve Israel of New York chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: "Medicare, Medicare, Medicare." With all the spin and bluster about what the candidates would do to the beloved health insurance program for seniors, here are 10 oft-distorted facts you need to know about the program and the plans.
1) President Obama's cuts to Medicare do not affect any benefits. The Mitt Romney's campaign has been accusing the president of robbing current retirees to pay for the health care law's coverage expansion. It is true that the Affordable Care Act made some cuts to growth in Medicare spending, but none of the cuts were to benefits for seniors. In fact, the law gives seniors more help paying for subscription drugs and eliminates co-payments for a number of preventive health services.
2) Romney's plan would not affect Medicare beneficiaries over 55. Current seniors would keep the Medicare they have now, minus the new goodies they got from the health care law. The Romney program, which would replace the government-run program with a system that gives seniors vouchers to purchase health insurance, wouldn't begin kicking in for 10 years.
3) Romney does not want to eliminate Medicare. The Romney proposal would preserve traditional Medicare as an option for seniors to buy with their vouchers. But it's possible that the government program would prove more expensive than private plans once it's forced to compete for customers—we don't know. If so, seniors may have to pay more out-of-pocket if they want the old program.
4) Seniors will (probably) not have to pay $6,400 in annual premiums under Romney's plan. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have been giving seniors sticker shock with this number, but it's based on an analysis of Rep. Paul Ryan's 2011 Medicare reform proposal. The newest version may still shift costs to seniors, but it will almost certainly be less than $6,400 a year. Bear in mind, predicting cost growth in the program involves a lot of guesswork anyway.
5) Ryan was for Medicare cuts before he was against them. In his recent budget proposal, Ryan would have used the cost savings from the Obama health care law, and suggested further cuts to Medicare. Now that he's on the Romney ticket, he says he would repeal all of the Obama law's savings but has been less clear about his own proposals.
6) Obama's health care law would empower a government board to cut Medicare payment rates, but not to reduce benefits. The law establishes an independent board tasked with keeping spending per beneficiary below the growth in gross domestic product plus 1 percentage point. But the law strictly limits how the board can do that—it can't ration care, restrict benefits, or change eligibility rules for the program. A supermajority of Congress can veto any of the board's recommendations. In his 2013 budget proposal, the president suggested dropping the growth rate to GDP plus half a percentage point.
7) The candidates basically agree on how fast Medicare should grow. Though the mechanisms are different, both Ryan's budget and Obama's want per-beneficiary spending to grow at a rate of GDP plus half a percentage point. (Romney himself has not specified a number but said recently that his plan is "close to identical" to Ryan's.)
8) Romney's reform plan may not reduce the deficit. Because Ryan and Romney have renounced the Medicare cuts in the Obama law, their plan would save no money for 10 years and actually cost more than $700 billion compared with current law. After that, its capped growth would begin at a higher starting point. According to the Medicare trustees, eliminating the cuts will make the program's hospital trust fund insolvent in 2016.
9) Neither plan solves Medicare's long-term cost problem. The aging of the baby boomers means that the program's rolls will nearly double by 2030. That's a problem that neither candidate's proposals will fully address.
10) The Romney proposal has a bipartisan pedigree. "Premium support," as it's known in health policy circles, was not invented by Ryan. It dates back to the 1990s, and has been supported by congressional Democrats as well as Republicans. More recently Alice Rivlin, a former Clinton administration official, and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., have endorsed premium-support plans, although not the Romney plan specifically.

Mailers benefit because it's easier for them to rip the Postal Service off.
very good article
As many problems that PostalOne has with "outages", I do not think going paperless is a totally good idea. What about audits and Sox Compliance? One audit that SHOULD be persued: The IT dept that is in charge of "PostalOne." Why so many outages and problems all of the time? Could this be their way of creating "job security?" Hmmmmm!
As long as PostalOne! is working. I agree, PostalOne! has too many interruptions and some outages. Unfortunately, the USPS revenue completeness process relies very heavily on PostalOne!. IG conducted a review of Feb. 2010 PostalOne! Outage.
As long as clerks are thoroughly checking the completeness and accuracy of statements sent electronically. The same would hold true for those submitted manually--although BMA encourages electronically submitted statements.
N/A. I am an auditor.
The article says everything about this new technology of sending paperless mails however, one thing I am still curious to know is about the security aspects. How are these guys ensure that my data remains confidential and in integrity.

Comments: I previously ordered one from memorablegifts.com and I really loved it. Unfortunately, my 2 year old son was playing with it and broke it. I right away called customer service to ask if they had any available and thank goodness there were! I was in no rush but when I received it I was soo relieved and happy to replace the broken one. Thank you for making me happy once again!!

You're just parroting sports personalities who happen to agree with your position on the subject. BIG surprise. If Dilfer said Tanny was a bum, you'd instantly start talking about how poor of a QB Dilfer was and that he doesn't know what he's talking about because of it. Don't even begin to say you wouldn't.
I think the biggest thing missing on Finheaven is the fact that criticizing Tannehill and giving up on Tannehill are not even close to the same thing. Posters here only see the 2 as exactly the same thing. I've been critical of Tannehill and praised him as well. I'm not even close to giving up on him. If these 2 things could just be separated there would be better QB debates instead of the stays quo.
Poster 1: Tannehill missed some easy throws.
Poster 2: Get lost you Matt Moore lover.
Maybe it's not that extreme but it's pretty comical sometimes.
A liar, cheater and murderer walk into a bar, the New England Patriots must be in town!
Shocking news!!!!! A QB needs talent around him and time to develope!
P.S. Year two will also be full of ups and downs......qb still developing.
Nice read. Good to hear the pros opinions. The biggest thing I learned though was that the majority of PBP readers are effing morons.
This one's my favorite: "We realistically could be undefeated right now if Matt Moore had started at the beginning of the season"
Sure we could champ. Suuuure we could...
He actually has regressed some if you ask me but still it is all apart of the process. It sure beats talking about Geno Smith and Matt Barkley.

"bond, david bond Says:
December 7th, 2012 at 9:19 amI am tired of people blaming the cast that a Tannehill has around him. Tannehill has not one but two receivers approaching 1000 yards receiving and 3 starting caliber runningbacks. Simply put; the guy is not good enough and he is the restraint on offense. If either of the other two quarterbacks get a shot at the helm, everyone will immediately see my point!"
This has got to be the most ass backwards argument against Tannehill.
and I'd love to know what 3 rb's this guy is talking about.

If incredulity and skepticism weren't natural human instincts, faith would not be hard at all. But they are, so it is.
For the rest of you, perhaps you haven't asked the right questions.
For me it's just too obvious to think that the nature of the universe lends itself to having things more advanced than us. where does the ladder end? maybe it doesn't. maybe as we are above ants, (which is debatable, they do seem to have a pretty perfect society, at least as far as effenciecy goes) something is above us. then something would be above whatever it is that is above us. Science hasn't ruled out God, and history hasn't ruled out many things that have been documented in the bible. some things certainly shouldn't be taken as literal (imo, I don't believe all life was wiped out in a flood etc)
tl;dr science and God aren't exclusive.
The problem people get in is a fanatical need for answers. If science doesn't provide them, they turn to God, and the history of religious belief has been the cycle in that order, with God ever retreating into the gaps where science hasn't or can't penetrate. "Faith" was never an issue for people before science. Every new day was a miracle. Every lightning strike a warning. Droughts were a sign of displeasure. The Bible -- the Old Testament especially -- still deals with God this way. God creates the universe from nothing, yet needs Adam's rib to make Eve. He goes looking for Abraham in a village and can't find him (!). Speaks from a burning bush. Carves his mandates into tablets. Sends plagues against Egypt. The New Testament is somewhat more subtle but is still rife with miracles, of utter scientific impossibilities. Most people seem willing to reject the creation and flood stories as mythology, so why accept the virgin birth and the resurrection? Such compromises are beneath the rational mind.
Science doesn't provide all the answers, but at least it follows some kind of logical method. As for the rest, I accept that much of the universe is a mystery and some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. That seems to be a hard thing for people to do, but I've made my peace with it.
I don't think there are questions that are unanswerable. I do think we don't know how to ask them.
And to answer your first question in this thread, this isn't the "christian forum." It's the religion forum, and there's a lot that falls under that, not just your beliefs.

Interpretive Handbook
8626 :
Nickel, 24 Hour, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Nickel (Ni) is a silvery white metal that is widely distributed in the earth's crust. Nickel is essential for the catalytic activity of some plant and bacterial enzymes but its role in humans has not been defined. Elemental nickel may be essential for life at very low concentrations and is virtually nontoxic.
Nickel is commonly used in industry. It is a pigment in glass, ceramics, and fabric dyes; is converted in the Mond process to nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4 and used as a catalyst in petroleum refining and in the plastics industry, is frequently employed in the production of metal alloys (which are popular for their anticorrosive and hardness properties) in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries, and is used as a catalyst in hydrogenation of oils.
Ni(CO)4, a liquid with low vapor pressure, is 1 of the most toxic chemicals known to man. Ni(CO)4 is absorbed after inhalation, readily crosses all biological membranes, and noncompetitively inhibits ATP-ase and RNA polymerase. Breathing the vapors of Ni(CO)4 binds avidly to hemoglobin with resultant inability to take up oxygen. The affinity for hemoglobin is higher than carbon monoxide. The binding to hemoglobin is the main transport mechanism for spreading Ni(CO)4 throughout the body. Urine is the specimen of choice for the determination of nickel exposure via inhalation.
Patients undergoing dialysis are exposed to nickel and accumulate nickel in blood and other organs; there appear to be no adverse health affects from this exposure. Hypernickelemia has been observed in patients undergoing renal dialysis. At the present time, this is considered to be an incidental finding as no correlation with toxic events has been identified. Routine monitoring of patients undergoing dialysis is currently not recommended.
Breathing dust high in nickel content has been associated with development of neoplasms of the respiratory system and nasal sinuses. Most reactions to nickel are localized skin sensitivity and allergic skin disorders that occur on contact with nickel-containing alloys. These reactions do not correlate to blood concentrations; patients experiencing skin sensitivity reactions to nickel are likely to have normal circulating concentrations of nickel.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting nickel toxicity in patients exposed to nickel carbonyl
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Values > or =7 mcg/24-hour specimen represent possible environmental or occupational exposure.
Nickel concentrations >50 mcg/24-hour specimen are of concern, suggesting excessive exposure.
Clinical concern about nickel toxicity should be limited to patients with potential for exposure to toxic nickel compounds such as nickel carbonyl. Hypernickelemia, in the absence of exposure to that specific form of nickel, may be an incidental finding or could be due to specimen contamination.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Specimen collection procedures for nickel require special collection containers, rigorous attention to ultraclean specimen collection and handling procedures, and analysis in an ultraclean facility. Unless all of these procedures are followed, increased urinary nickel results may be an incidental and misleading finding.
High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
This test cannot determine the source compound (eg, nickel sulfate) responsible for the exposure.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0.0-6.0 mcg/specimen
Reference values apply to all ages.

Overkill Jacket Reviewby jj - verified purchaser
Purchase was easy, shipping was super quick! The jacket is really good quality. Rode it in the rain once and it kept my upper body warm and dry. Jacket should be good to about low 50's with the liner in and just at shirt. The neck is a little wide so I use a neck warmer on the colder days.

Meaning & Origins
Old French form of the Germanic personal name Lanzo, a short form of various compound names beginning with land 'land, territory' (compare Lambert), but associated from an early date with Old French lance 'lance' (the weapon, from Latin lancea). The modern use as a given name most probably arose as a transferred use of the surname derived from the medieval given name, although it is also commonly taken as a short form of Lancelot.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Hamilton belted a game-tying two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning, then delivered a sacrifice fly in the 11th to rally the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to a 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Hamilton's heroics enabled the Angels to claim the rubber match of this three- game series and keep Oakland's magic number for a playoff spot at five. The A's have a magic number of six to clinch the AL West.
Mike Trout added a two-run homer in the triumph, the Angels' seventh in nine games. J.C. Gutierrez (1-4), one of four Anaheim relievers that combined for five scoreless innings, picked up the win after working the bottom of the 10th.
"The path that we had been on, the ups and downs we've had all year, it's nice to see a nice string of good quality baseball this last month," said Angels starter Jason Vargas.
Coco Crisp and Yoenis Cespedes each socked two-run homers in the third inning for Oakland, which received a strong six-inning effort from A.J. Griffin. The Athletics' starter permitted just one hit -- Trout's blast in the top of the first -- and a pair of walks while striking out six.
After mustering just one hit between the second to eighth innings, the Angels' bats came alive while trailing 4-2 in the ninth.
Erick Aybar greeted Grant Balfour with a single before the Oakland closer got the dangerous Trout to fly out. Hamilton then stepped in and hammered an 0-1 fastball well into the seats in right to tie the game.
The blown save was only Balfour's third in 41 chances this season.
"He's had a great year," said Athletics manager Bob Melvin. "If you look at it overall, three blown saves is going to work anywhere. And actually he did have good stuff today. He just got one fastball probably not in the right spot to a pretty good fastball hitter."
Anaheim struck again in the 11th, with J.B. Shuck stroking a leadoff double against Jesse Chavez (2-4) and advancing a base on an Aybar sacrifice bunt. Hamilton's fly ball to left off Jerry Blevins was plenty deep to allow Shuck to cross the plate without a throw for the eventual winning run.
"That's what I was trying to do last night, but I just didn't wait enough," said Hamilton, who struck out against Blevins with the bases loaded in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the A's. "So, I learned my lesson."
The A's went down quietly against Ernesto Frieri in their half of the 11th, with the Angels' closer retiring the side in order to notch his 35th save of the year.
Griffin was shaky early on, issuing a walk to Shuck to open the game and serving up Trout's third homer of the series two batters later that staked the Angels to a quick 2-0 lead.
The right-hander dominated from that point forward, setting down 17 of the 18 batters he faced following Trout's blast. Griffin's only blemish during that stretch came when he walked Mark Trumbo in the fourth.
Vargas only had one bad inning as well in an otherwise solid showing. That came in the bottom of the third, which began with a single from Josh Reddick. One out afterward, Crisp knotted the score with his career-high 20th homer of the season, a drive to left on a full count.
Jed Lowrie later extended the frame with a two-out single to send up Cespedes, who crushed a Vargas fastball over the wall in straightaway center for a 4-2 Oakland advantage.
Vargas lasted six innings, permitting four runs on seven hits and fanning five.
The Angels are 15-5 in games in which Hamilton homers and 10-4 when he drives
in two or more runs ... Lowrie returned to the A's lineup after not starting
the first two games of the series with tightness in his right hamstring and
finished 2-for-5 along with Cespedes ... Oakland starting pitchers have
yielded two runs or fewer in 10 of the team's last 11 games and are 7-1 with a
2.80 ERA over that period ... Trout has now reached base safely in 25 straight

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?

ETSU women's soccer beats Jacksonville State in double overtime, 4-3
Sunday, September 12, 2004ATLANTA, Ga. (Sept. 12, 2004) - Freshman Keri Dusch's (Virginia Beach, Va.) first goal as a Buccaneer clinched ETSU's victory in double overtime against Jacksonville State University on Sunday in the second day of the GSU Marriott Invitational with a 4-3 final. ETSU women's soccer is now 3-2-0 with the victory, while Jacksonville State falls to 3-3-0. Junior defender Kerri Burke (Raleigh, N.C.) led the scoring for the Bucs with the first goal coming just five minutes into the game. Burke's goal was unassisted. The Gamecocks would tie up the game at one all with a goal from Courtney Moore at the 20:53 mark. Each team would score again before the end of the first half to make the score 2-2, ETSU with another unassisted goal by Erin Ashton (New Bern, N.C.) and Jacksonville State with a goal by Breanne Milne. In the second half of play, ETSU would try to take the lead with a goal from Emily Fulcher (New Bern, N.C.) at the 63:46 mark. Katie O'Bryan (Hampton, Va.) assisted on Fulcher's goal, her first goal of the season. ETSU's would keep the lead until Joanna McCaughey would score to make it 3-3 with little over a minute remaining in regulation forcing overtime, where Dusch would score for the Bucs. ETSU would make 11 shots in the game to Jacksonville State's 18. Freshman Chrissy Parks (Annapolis, Md.) played the entire length of the game and picked up the win to improve to 3-2-0 for the season. In the game Parks made nine saves. ETSU continues road action as they travel to take on the Radford Highlanders next Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

My Best Gluten-Free Pumpkin Recipes
From the archives, with a dash of autumnal pumpkin love... The bittersweet, textured beauty of Autumn has always gripped my heartstrings, pulling me in deeper, connecting with some invisible part of me, so much more so than Spring. Much more so than summer's flirtatious pleasures. And Winter, well. She is a dark and icy mistress. That relationship has always been complicated. So unlike my truly, madly deeply love of Fall.
And here am I. In L.A... Where Fall is just a pumpkin spice latte.
Los Angeles is without an Autumn. I know apologists who claim there is seasonal change (deciduous leaves do transform here- from dry green to crispy brown, sometime before Thanksgiving). But there is no Yankee eruption of brilliance- no reds, golds and coppery oranges. There is no softened, morning skyline heavy with balsam scented mist. Ardent Angelenos do not seem to bristle with three digit heat in October (it was 106ºF yesterday). They do not seem to crave L.L. Bean flannel shirts and cotton turtlenecks, like I do. Flip flops and tank tops are year round fashion choices. Along with hair dye, tanning lotions and injectables that promise eternal Spring. Los Angeles is a town of perpetual 21. In platform heels.
There are weeks (months?) on end I do not see a single woman sporting natural gray hair like mine. Never mind a natural neck- or- well. You know. That's another story. You get the picture. Not only do I feel invisible in sexualized So-Cal culture, I feel irrelevant, and bored. Restless. And unconnected. Year-round summer feels shockingly dull. Artificial. And uninspiring.
So I took my husband on a trip.
We spent a week on Cape Cod (my old stomping grounds, for decades). And I ate up every minute with a spoon. I spent entire days outside, wandering, hiking, drinking in the sea air, the peace and solitude, the creativity of the community (artists and writers, gardeners, crafters, gentlewomen farmers and furniture makers). Strong, independent women with silver streaked hair, and natural beauty that had never known a dermatologist's needle. Women not focused on a mirror. But focused on their curiosity. On creating something with their hands. Their spirit. It was grounding. And enlightening.
And it felt like home.
New Englander Ralph Waldo Emerson said, What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
Not to wax too geo-pious, but New England does infuse your blood by birth. It roots you to its culture, its distinct sensibility. Its Yankee eye for simple elegance. An appreciation for patina. For thoughtfulness.
For me, my rural New England beginning fostered a life-long love of books. Music. Antiques. Landscape painting. Simple nourishing food. Walking in the woods. Quiet rather than noise.
Show rather than tell.
|Cape Cod corn gives way to pumpkin season.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Recipes
(so far...)One of the loveliest gifts of the fall season is a humble, orange squash we in the United States know simply as pumpkin. Earthy and unobtrusive, pumpkin's mild butternut flavor pairs beautifully with warming autumn spices. Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and cloves all cozy up to pumpkin, especially when sweetened with brown sugar or maple syrup.
Here are my favorite gluten-free pumpkin recipes- for my very favorite season. Fall. In no particular order ...

At the White House on Monday, President Obama will seek to persuade the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to postpone whatever plans he may have to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months. Obama will argue that under his leadership, the United States "has Israel's back," and that he will order the U.S. military to destroy Iran's nuclear program if economic sanctions fail to compel Tehran to shelve its nuclear ambitions.
In the most extensive interview he has given about the looming Iran crisis, Obama told me earlier this week that both Iran and Israel should take seriously the possibility of American action against Iran's nuclear facilities. "I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don't bluff." He went on, "I also don't, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are. But I think both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say."

The 45-minute Oval Office conversation took place less than a week before the president was scheduled to address the annual convention of AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, and then meet, the next day, with Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House. In the interview, Obama stated specifically that "all options are on the table," and that the final option is the "military component." But the president also said that sanctions organized by his administration have put Iran in a "world of hurt," and that economic duress might soon force the regime in Tehran to rethink its efforts to pursue a nuclear-weapons program.
"Without in any way being under an illusion about Iranian intentions, without in any way being naive about the nature of that regime, they are self-interested," Obama said. "It is possible for them to make a strategic calculation that, at minimum, pushes much further to the right whatever potential breakout capacity they may have, and that may turn out to to be the best decision for Israel's security."
The president also said that Tehran's nuclear program would represent a "profound" national-security threat to the United States even if Israel were not a target of Iran's violent rhetoric, and he dismissed the argument that the United States could successfully contain a nuclear Iran.
"You're talking about the most volatile region in the world," he said. "It will not be tolerable to a number of states in that region for Iran to have a nuclear weapon and them not to have a nuclear weapon. Iran is known to sponsor terrorist organizations, so the threat of proliferation becomes that much more severe." He went on to say that "the dangers of an Iran getting nuclear weapons that then leads to a free-for-all in the Middle East is something that I think would be very dangerous for the world."
The president was most animated when talking about the chaotic arms race he fears would break out if Iran acquired a nuclear weapon, and he seemed most frustrated when talking about what he sees as a deliberate campaign by Republicans to convince American Jews that he is anti-Israel. "Every single commitment I have made to the state of Israel and its security, I have kept," he told me. "Why is it that despite me never failing to support Israel on every single problem that they've had over the last three years, that there are still questions about that?"
Though he struck a consistently pro-Israel posture during the interview, Obama went to great lengths to caution Israel that a premature strike might inadvertently help Iran: "At a time when there is not a lot of sympathy for Iran and its only real ally, [Syria,] is on the ropes, do we want a distraction in which suddenly Iran can portray itself as a victim?"
He also said he would try to convince Netanyahu that the only way to bring about a permanent end to a country's nuclear program is to convince the country in question that nuclear weapons are not in its best interest. "Our argument is going to be that it is important for us to see if we can solve this thing permanently, as opposed to temporarily, and the only way historically that a country has ultimately decided not to get nuclear weapons without constant military intervention has been when they themselves take [nuclear weapons] off the table. That's what happened in Libya, that's what happened in South Africa."
And though broadly sympathetic to Netanyahu's often-stated fear that Iran's nuclear program represents a Holocaust-scale threat to the Jewish state, and the Jewish people, Obama suggested strongly that historical fears cannot be the sole basis for precipitous action: "The prime minister is head of a modern state that is mindful of the profound costs of any military action, and in our consultations with the Israeli government, I think they take those costs, and potential unintended consequences, very seriously."

i have an exposed (out of the ground) water pipe and during the night freezes over. What is the best way to insulate it so it does not freeze?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Insulation only helps keep in heat, but if there is no source of heat (ie: cold water or standing hot water), it will eventually cool and freeze. Your options are:
If you use it during the day, and the only problem is night time freezing, you may be able to sort the problem with simple foam insulation. Something like this pipe insulation, split down its length to easily fit over a pipe is a cheap and simple way to make an improvement:

I was the first in our family to go University and, inspired by my own wonderful teachers, I have enjoyed a long career in some of the country's best schools. I always said it would have to be something really special to make me move – and this school is just that.
I can't wait to welcome our first cohorts of Year 7 pupils, Sixth Form students and teachers because together we will be creating history. We will define how we want to learn together, what activities we want to do, and how we establish a friendly and caring community for all those who follow us.
Yet this is no experiment. We have the opportunity to be creative and to look afresh at what makes an outstanding school, but our main priority is to ensure that every single child achieves their full potential. To achieve this, I intend to recruit outstanding teachers over the next few months. Once the school opens, each of them will be supported by bright, well-qualified trainees and benefit from collaboration with leading academics and the use of facilities at the University of Birmingham.
There is nothing more important than your education and we take that responsibility seriously. If you have questions, please ask. If you would like to join us, we will be delighted to welcome you in 2015 and beyond.

Kissing: False
Most viral infections seep in through your nose and eyes, not your mouth. In fact, in a Journal of Infectious Diseases study, only 8 percent of people fell sick after smooching someone who had a cold. "It's actually safer to kiss someone who's sick than shake his hand," says microbiologist Charles Gerba, Ph.D.
Staying in a Hotel Room: True
A third of hotel room surfaces were still coated in germs nearly a full day after a sick person spent the night, says research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Protect yourself by swabbing hard surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls with hand sanitizer or alcohol-based wipes.
Using an Old Toothbrush: False
No need to toss your toothbrush after recovering from a cold or flu--you can't reinfect yourself. When you fall ill, your immune system creates antibodies specific to the strain of virus you have. Those good guys stick around to make sure you never get the same exact virus again, says Josh Miller, D.O.
The Sneaky Life of a Virus
Day 1: Someone coughs, spewing viruses all over the grocery-cart handle. You grab the cart and pick up germs along with your dinner.
You rub your nose or eyes, transferring the virus into your sinus system.
Now in your airways, cold or flu viruses begin to reproduce like crazy and block your body's immediate immune response.
Day 2: You feel fine, though virus cells are making their way to your lungs. Also, you're now contagious.
Day 4: You feel hellish.
Many of your symptoms--sneezing, coughing--are side effects of the viral attack on your immune system.
While you can treat those symptoms with meds, drugs won't eradicate a cold or flu. Only time, lots of fluids, and rest will.
Day 5: If you picked up a cold virus, the worst is almost over. You're likely no longer contagious, even if you're still sniffling. If it's the flu, though, you feel as if you've been hit by a truck. You might suffer through a fever, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea for the next few days as your immune system works like crazy.
Day 10: You could still be contagious for up to a week after your first flu symptoms. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your arm -- you won't spread germs via your inner elbow. Better yet, stay home until you're good as new.

I network via EVDO RevA using a Sierra 595 PCMCIA card. UrlSniffer can't see it.
I think it is actually a PCMCIA USB adapter, with separate integrated 802.11g and EVDO revA adapters connecting through that PCMCIA USB adapter. I can enable the Sierra 595 802.11 adapter under Network Adapters and UrlS will detect it, but that doesn't get UrlS detecting my EVDO traffic.
The EVDO portion of the card is installed as a modem (telephonic / dialup). I know WireShark and Ethereal present modems as adapter choices, so WinPcap could sniff it. I'm pretty sure that there isn't anything else left to try.
I think that makes this a feature request, unless I am missing something.
Any thoughts?
For now, I can run this and collect my data through the recognized adapters, when I'm deskbound. But it really would be nice to use it on the road as most of my live time is spent EVDO.
This site looks to be a really great coding concept.
I think I get your direction. I'll nose around a bit and see what there is to see.
There are definitely times when I would have my clients pay for minor solutions.
I spend hours trying to invent wheels, when squares are my forte.
FYI, I'm normally flush 2-3 months/yr, I'm good about donating when I am.
If I hang here long term, I'll send something.

Anyway, I got it in a sale, for just over €20, which was pretty good value, I think! It came well protected in a cardboard box, and seems to be in perfect condition. See my pictures. If there was a possibility of including more, I could show more of the colours.
My first picture shows everything that came in the box: reel of LEDs, power unit, RGB controller/IR receiver, and remote control. Unlike MITB's pictures, mine was shipped with a European plug, plus a free converter to change it to a UK/IRL plug.
Set up was really easy; just plug the power unit into 220v, plug the other end into the RGB controller, plug the the strip of LED into the controller, and switch on with the remote control. Instant gratification! And the LEDs are really bright.
The remote control has lots of buttons for choosing an instant colour (a total of 20 different colours), plus buttons for dimming, different options for selecting flashing, fading in/out, pause, on/off, etc. There were six buttons for setting a user-defined colour, but despite my best efforts, I couldn't get those to work; that's my only complaint. I'm not sure whether the remote control was faulty or whether that particular set just didn't support that function.
So... good product, great price, free delivery - thanks MITB!

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
In this scholarly essay, Steve Benner, a Distinguished Fellow of The Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., looks at what the role of a scientist should be. Benner looks specifically at "falsifiability", the acceptance of uncertainty, and the place of the scientist in public discourse.
Science and religion scholar Michael Ruse gives a personal account of his experiences as an author and public speaker on the compatibility of Christianity and biological evolution.
Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.
(Updated April 16, 2012)
Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature's physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe. To explain the present state of the universe, even the best scientific theories require that the physical constants of nature and the beginning state of the Universe have extremely precise values.

Lindsay Lohan (WireImage)
Lindsay Lohan has dodged another jailhouse bullet, as her last minute decision to switch rehab facilities to one not approved by prosecutors will not land her in the slammer.
Prosecutors originally signed off on having the 26-year-old complete her 90-day court-ordered rehab stint at the Seafield Center in Westhampton Beach, N.Y. However, Lohan instead today checked into Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, California. So, what's the problem?
The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office had no time to check out Morningside and see if it falls under the parameters of the plea agreement. The switcheroo could have been a violation of her plea deal, which could have led to jail time for the troubled actress.
Lohan's attorney, Mark Heller, and Santa Monica City Attorney Terry White, were both in court Thursday morning in L.A. debating whether or not the "Mean Girls" actress was in compliance with the agreement.
Heller argued that Morningside fit the criteria, while the prosecution called the last-minute change "inappropriate."
Prosecutors had interviewed and spoken with the executive director of Seafield and they found this rehab center met all the requirements they were looking for, so they signed off on it. As for Morningside, White said, "We did not approve this facility, we did not look into this facility, we don't know anything about this facility."

Mark Heller arrives at court on May 2, 2013 (Splash News)
So, where does that leave Lohan? Heller confirmed she is currently checked into the treatment center, that she is meeting with a psychiatrist today, and that therapy "is under immediate commencement."
The judge said he has no problems with Lohan remaining in the program until this issue is resolved, but if Morningside does not measure up to meeting the requirements of the plea agreement by the prosecution's standards, she will have to switch rehab centers.
What are the chances that Lohan will stay at Morningside? The controversial treatment center had to shut down residential services last year when investigators from the state Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs found that Morningside had been careless with prescription drugs. White hinted that he was aware of this in court, revealing that his office had read articles condemning this rehab facility.
Prosecutors have until May 10 to inform the court if they are OK with the Morningside program or not. If not, a new hearing will be set.
Dabney also told Heller that he would need to show proof that Lohan had completed her treatment by July 31. The judge also informed attorneys on both sides that they needed to stop leaking information to the media, pointing out that reporting on Lohan's goings-on has "been quite impressive."
Is it any surprise that Lohan can't even enter rehab without drama? Sound off, below.

Exposing MPS bus drivers with criminal records
MILWAUKEE- It's another explosive I-Team investigation -- months in the making. Convicted criminals driving kids to and from school.
You trust your child's bus driver to keep your kids safe. But the I-Team found out some of their safety could be at risk with who's behind the wheel.
The I-Team even discovered one driver's a convicted prostitute. Investigator Rob Koebel exposes the truth about who's driving your kids.
They're with your kids for hours each week. They're responsible for your child's safety.
So how is this possible?
Rob Koebel: "You are a school bus driver. We did a background check on you and we found you were arrested for prostitution."
School bus driver Melissa Dumas: "Are you kidding me?"
Nope. No joke.
The I-Team caught a convicted prostitute driving bus 1081.
Rob Koebel: "Are you happy as a father about this?"
Jonathan Roberson: "No sir"
54 thousand MPS students ride a school bus each day.
The school district hires 10 bus companies and pays those companies a total of $56 million taxpayer dollars -- your dollars to do the job.
"What are you following me for?" asked Melissa Dumas. "We're doing this because it seems no one else is really keeping track," retorted Rob Koebel.
When the I-Team first requested a list of all MPS school bus drivers, the district denied the request -- even though the law was on your side.
"You should have gotten the names just as a policy matter because there is such a strong public interest in the safety of school children," noted lawyer Christa Westerberg.
For six months the I-Team pressed for the names of tax paid bus drivers.
Finally -- the district turned over the names of more than a thousand bus drivers and the I-Team got to work.
The I-Team looked into the background of each driver. The I-Team searched public records, police reports and with no other information, the I-Team used mug shots to confirm the identity of convicted criminals, turned bus drivers.
School bus driver Melissa Dumas: "What is that?!!"
Rob Koebel: "That's the mugshot when you were arrested for prostitution."
School bus driver Melissa Dumas: "What?"
It's true. Melissa Dumas in 2005 -- convicted for prostitution.
Rob Koebel: "One of the school bus drivers I think you are aware of -- she had a conviction for prostitution."
Durham Manager: "We have no knowledge of that it wasn't our company."
Rob Koebel: "Yes it was."
Durham Manager: "No it was not".
A Milwaukee police report says she promised a good time for $120. She met up with an undercover cop at a hotel with baby oil and sex toys.
Rob Koebel: "Do you think you should be driving children with a conviction for prostitution?"
School bus driver Melissa Dumas: "Oh, my god?! I can't believe this (bleep)"
Neither could the I-Team. So the I-Team kept digging and found a 2001 mug shot and a Fox Point police report. Dumas was arrested and cited for drugs and driving on a suspended license and that's not all. She was in a school bus accident back in 2009 when she worked for a different bus company. No kids were on board, but she was cited for inattentive driving.
Rob Koebel: "What's going through your mind now?"
Jonathan Roberson: "The bus company.they must not do extensive background checks on the people they hire. It don't make no sense its ridiculous."
The I-Team wants to find out how someone like this can get a job driving our kids.
Mike Turza, MPS Director of Business Services: "We have to figure out why things slip through."
Rob: "Do you know who is driving these children?"
The I-Team also identified Andrew Williams, another M-P-S bus driver also busted. Back in December, Williams was caught driving his car the wrong way down Layton Blvd.
A police report says cops found a gun in his pocket and an empty bottle of hydrocondone pills.
He was only cited for carrying a concealed weapon.
Rob Koebel: "Does MPS ever randomly take that list and check?"
Mike Truza: "No - we have not done…"
Rob Koebel: "You are kidding me?"
Mike Truza: "We have not done that."
Next on the list is bus driver Cornell Roberts. He was busted for theft and speeding in 2005. Then, he was in trouble repeatedly for driving without registration, and just this past August, he was busted for driving when his license was suspended.
"I went to the DMV and got it straightened out. I'm back to work," said Roberts.
His bus company says it's OK because back then he wasn't working for them. Parents beg to differ and so does the I-Team.
Rob Koebel: "Will the district start randomly checking backgrounds?"
Mike Turza : "We could do that…"
Rob Koebel:: "Will you do that now?"
Mike Turza: "We could do that."
Rob Koebel: "But you aren't going to commit to that now?"
Mike Turza: "Again we would commit if there was value to it…"
Rob Koebel:: "Ok, the value would be the safety of the children and to hold the bus company accountable doesn't seem anyone is doing that."
Mike Turza: "I don't think that is a fair statement at all."
The I-Team presented all of the findings to MPS and the bus companies. Since then, Durham Bus Company says the convicted prostitute does not work for them anymore.
The wrong-way driver carrying a gun has been suspended, pending an investigation.
But there could be many convicted criminals still driving buses.
And that's information you, as parents, and as tax payers have the right to know.

Ana was unable to reproduce her sweet Auckland triumph over Venus Williams as she fell 6-2, 6-1 to the 33-year-old American in the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Championships.
Despite a solid opening game from Ana - which she won to 15 - it was a one-sided contest from the outset as Williams dominated in every facet of the game. The world No.44 did not drop a single point on her first delivery and rifled a cartload of winners throughout the match, while Ana often went for a little too much and lapsed into making unforced errors.
Helped by two consecutive double faults from Ana's racket in game three, Williams scored a first break of serve which paved the way for an easy victory from the American's perspective. Williams had to hammer away two breakpoints in game six, but was never really threatened as the match progressed.
Ana looked tired, and a pale imitation of the player who fought brilliantly to beat world No.8 Angelique Kerber less than 24 hours earlier.
After being broken in the opening game of set two, the outcome of the match appeared inevitable. She managed to get on the scoreboard in the third game, but could not prevent Williams from winning four straight games to seal victory in just 56 minutes.

Brent Maher discovered, developed, produced and wrote hit songs for The Judds.
Brent Maher is a multiple Grammy award-winner who has recorded Ike and Tina Turner's version of "Proud Mary," The 5th Dimension's "Age of Aquarius" and tons of stuff by Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Merle Haggard, Sly and the Family Stone, Carl Perkins and many, many more.
Brent Maher runs The Blue Room, a fantastic recording studio in Berry Hill.
Brent Maher called me the other day. He did not want to talk about any of these things.
He wanted to talk about making up an organized sport.
Perhaps "organized" isn't the proper term.
Boots and Bandana Golf doesn't look to be the most organized of pursuits. But it does have rules, and players, and a scruffy sort of appeal.
Maher calls it "Cowboy Golf." It is played on improvised courses, with sunken flowerpots for holes and players allowed to carry exactly two clubs. Maher created it one day when he wasn't recording a Judd, a Turner or a Family Stone, and he decided that his Middle Tennessee acreage would be a fine place for a golf course.
He had never played golf before, had certainly never built a golf course. He claims to this day to have been sober on the day he decided he'd mow his back pastures and create a course and a whole new set of golf rules.
Couldn't be that hard: After all, this is a man who worked with Ike Turner.
