Nationaal park Hortobágy - de Puszta
Het cultuurlandschap van de Hongaarse Puszta bestaat uit een uitgestrekt gebied van vlaktes en waterrijke natuurgebieden in het oosten van Hongarije. Er komen al meer dan twee millennia traditionele vormen van landgebruik voor in deze pastorale samenleving. Ze weerspiegelen de harmonieuze interactie tussen mens en natuur. Het nationaal park Hortobágy maakt deel uit van de Tisza vlakte in Oost-Hongarije. Het gebied is omgeven door nederzettingen in het zuiden, oosten en westen. Hiervan zijn de belangrijkste nederzettingen Tiszafüred bij de rivier de Tisza en de stad Debrecen. De nederzettingen verdwenen door de geleidelijke ontvolking van de streek in de 14e eeuw.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The nearly 75 000 ha area of the World Heritage property "Hortobágy National Park – the Puszta", located on the Great Hungarian Plain in the eastern part of Hungary, is an outstanding example of a cultural landscape which preserves intact and visible evidence of its traditional pastoral use over more than two millennia and represents the harmonious interaction between people and nature. The Puszta consists of vast plains where specific land-use practices such as animal husbandry, including grazing of hardy livestock breeds adapted to the natural conditions of alkaline pastures, steppes, meadows and wetlands.
Significant scientific discoveries made since the inscription of the property attest that treeless alkaline grasslands dominated the landscape from the end of the Pleistocene period. The open character of the Hortobágy, suitable for their grazing practices, presented adequate conditions for the settlement and population of the region. Numerous peoples migrated from the east into the Carpathian Basin in prehistory. The nomadic groups that arrived around 2000 BC were the first to leave their imprint on the natural landscape in the form of many burial mounds (kurgans), mostly found on dry land, but located near a source of water. They were often used for secondary burials by later peoples, and in some cases Christian churches were built on them. Also found in the park are the low mounds (tells) that mark the sites of ancient settlements back from the Neolithic. The Hungarians arrived in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century and occupied the lands around the Tisza River. Settlements in the Middle Ages followed the Debrecen – Tiszafüred route. The main group was in the area defined by the existing settlements of Hortobágy, Nagyhegyes, Nádudvar and Nagyiván. Documentary records have shown that many of these had churches. By the early 13th century there was a dense network of settlements in the Hortobágy, with an economy based on pastoralism.
With the progressive depopulation of the region from the 14th century onwards, the settlements disappeared. The only manmade features in the wide plains of the Puszta were light temporary structures of reeds and branches, used to provide seasonal shelter for animals and men. The most significant surviving structures from the 18th and the early 19th century, which were public buildings built from stone and brick, are bridges, including the Nine Arch Bridge and the Zádor Bridge, and the csárdas, provincial inns to provide drink, food and lodging for travellers, which usually consist of two buildings facing one another, both single-storeyed and thatched or, occasionally, roofed with shingles or tiles. The best known of the csárdas are at the outskirts of Balmazújváros, Hortobágy, Nagyhegyes, Nagyiván and Tiszafüred.
From the middle 19th century, water regulation systems were set up to control over flooding of the Tisza River. This resulted in the partial draining of former wetlands, which were converted to grasslands or arable farming. Reduction of the water available for the natural pastures decreased their productivity, which was one of the main reasons of serious overgrazing in the early part of the 20th century. Efforts were made to diversify the land use of the Hortobágy, the most successful of which was the creation of artificial fishponds between 1914 and 1918 and again in the 1950s.
The cultural landscape of the Puszta represents the highest scenic quality, with pleasing and dramatic patterns and combinations of landscape features which give it a distinctive character, including aesthetic qualities and topographic and visual unity. The unbroken horizon is only occasionally disrupted by trees, groves, settlements or linear establishments (open wire lines and dikes). Human-made elements fit harmoniously into this landscape and sustainable land-use practices have contributed to the conservation of a diversity of species and biotopes and the maintenance of the landscape. There is almost no permanent human population within the property itself, but in the grazing season, from April to October, hundreds of stock-breeders graze their animals here. Their traditional pastoralism, with the related social customs and handicraft activities manifests itself in their intangible cultural heritage.
Criterion (iv): The Hungarian Puszta is an exceptional surviving example of a cultural landscape constituted by a pastoral society.
Criterion (v): The landscape of the Hortobágy National Park maintains intact and visible traces of its traditional land-use forms over several thousand years, and illustrates the harmonious interaction between people and nature.
The Puszta, represented by the Hortobágy National Park, is a complex mosaic of natural grasslands, loess ridges, alkaline pastures, meadows and smaller and larger wetlands (mostly marshes), which has presented ideal conditions for pastoralism since prehistoric times and which existed before the appearance of large animal-breeding cultures in this area. In this grassland-wetland mosaic habitat, the natural basis of the cultural landscape, the evidence of traditional and continuous use over more than four millennia has been preserved and is expressed through a variety of attributes, including human-made elements related to traditional animal husbandry and pastoralism. Legal protection as a nature conservation area guaranteed by the establishment of the Hortobágy National Park in 1972 has provided appropriate conditions for the preservation of these attributes and the continued use of the landscape within the property. Organically connected and separate grassland fragments, which continue to function as undisturbed, traditional grazing lands, can be found to some extent outside the National Park, which warrants the establishment of a buffer zone.
The main elements of historic land-use (extensive grazing with partly traditional breeds of domestic animals, as well as unused areas sustained in their natural conditions) still remain and the cultural landscape has preserved its structure, and functional complexity. The proportions of the scenery have inspired many artists, poets and writers throughout the centuries. The human-made elements of the landscape in service of the traditional land-use (dug wells made of wood, csárdas, bridges, temporary accommodations) preserve and sustain the features and technologies that evolved through the centuries, in their materials (e.g. adobe and reed), in their forms, in their structural construction (or the characteristic absence of certain elements, such as fences), and in the ways of their usage. The safeguarding of pastoral, handicraft and other community traditions (popular customs, fairs) related to land-use is ensured by their conscious practice and their transmission.
Protection and management requirements
The Hortobágy National Park was established in 1972. The Act LIII of 1996 on the Protection of Nature regulates the activities that may have an impact on the character and qualities of the property including the different forms of land-use (grazing, hay and reed cutting, etc.) construction, and visitor management. At the time of inscription the area of the National Park was 74 820 ha. Since then, the Park was extended to almost 81 000 ha. The entire property is part of the Natura 2000 network of the European Union, in which Special Protected Areas and Special Areas of Conservation were designated in a way that they contain and encompass the area of the National Park including organically connected or separate grassland mosaic areas that are outside the National Park. The protection thus ensured by the Natura 2000 areas provides an appropriate basis for the establishment of a buffer zone. A conservational management plan of the National Park was prepared in 1997. Based on the national World Heritage Act of 2011, a World Heritage management plan will enter into legal force as a governmental decree. The Hortobágy National Park Directorate, having the land owner's right on 75% of the property, acts as the World Heritage management body and has been re-appointed by the Minister responsible for culture. The World Heritage Act ensures the operation of a World Heritage Regional Architectural Planning Jury which facilitates high quality architectural developments aligned to the values of the property.
The archeological sites and historic monuments of the property are protected by the Act on the Protection of Cultural Heritage of 2001 and are listed in an official national register. Kurgans are ex lege protected by the Act on Nature Conservation of 1996. There is also a register of kurgans and draw wells established by the Ministry of Rural Development and the Hortobágy National Park Directorate. Furthermore, TÉKA (landscape elements inventory) is a nationwide cadastre representing landmarks, historical monuments, cultural and natural landscape values inter alia in the World Heritage property. The rehabilitation of the protected buildings of the Meggyes, the Hortobágyi and the Kadarcs csárdas has been carried out by the Hortobágy National Park. The rehabilitation of the protected Nine-Arch-Bridge also has been carried out by the Hajdú-Bihar County Road Operator Company.
Once approved and finalized, the World Heritage management plan will provide clear governance arrangements that involve representatives of the different stakeholders. Based on the World Heritage Act, the state of the property, as well as threats and preservation measures will be regularly monitored and reported to the National Assembly. The World Heritage management plan will be reviewed at least every seven years. In order to maintain the traditional land-use practices, especially common grazing, review of the land rental and farming contracts is essential, in particular with regard to areas under 100 ha. One of the strategic conservation goals is to extend the scope of the nature conservation-oriented horizontal agricultural subsidies as much as possible to grassland use in the property and in the future buffer zone. Another main objective is to decrease the ratio of hay cutting in favour of traditional grazing activities. Since they are detrimental to the grasslands, under- and overgrazing must be avoided together with intensive hay farming that leads to the deterioration of originally grazed habitats. The future buffer zone may remain the location for the more modern arable and grassland farming practices, but large constructions that disturb the landscape should be avoided. The unfavourable modernization of stock-keeping farms mandated by domestic and international laws and regulations needs to be prevented by the derogation of the relevant EU regulations, especially concerning concrete manure storage facilities. A short-term goal is the completion of landscape rehabilitation projects already in progress: elimination of linear establishments (canals and dikes), replacing open wire lines with underground cable. Other urgent tasks include combating invasive plant species, possibly by blocking their known migratory corridors; updating the inventory of pastoral buildings (stables, huts and sweep wells) and completing their monument protection survey; establishing a financial assistance system for the renovation of pastoral buildings; delineation of a buffer zone and its integration into regional and local development plans.
Long Description
The landscape of the Hungarian Puszta , an outstanding example of a cultural landscape shaped by a pastoral human society, preserves intact and visible the evidence of its traditional use over more than two millennia and represents the harmonious interaction between human beings and nature. The Puszta consists of a vast area of plains and wetlands in eastern Hungary. Traditional forms of land use, such as the grazing of domestic animals, have been present in this pastoral society for more than two millennia.
The Hortobágy National Park is part of the Tisza plain of eastern Hungary. It is surrounded by settlements to the south, east and west. The two main settlements are Tiszafüred on the Tisza River and the city of Debrecen. The two are linked by the main historic communication ridge route.
Numerous peoples migrated from the east into the Carpathian Basin in prehistory. The nomadic group who arrived around 2000 BC at the end of the Bronze Age were the first to leave their imprint on the natural landscape in the form of many burial mounds (kurgans ). Their dimensions are variable - 5-10 m high and 20-50 m in diameter - and they are generally conical or hemispherical. They are always to be found on dry land, but located near a source of water. They were often used for secondary burials by later peoples, and in some cases Christian churches were built on them by the Hungarians. Also to found in the park are the low mounds (tells) that mark the sites of ancient settlements, now disappeared. Settlement in the Middle Ages followed the Debrecen-Tiszafüred route. The main group was in the area defined by the existing settlements of Hortobágy, Naghegyes, Náduvdar and Nagyiván. Documentary records have shown that many of these had churches.
The Hungarians arrived in what is now Hungary at the end of the 9th century under their leader, Arpád. As the area was ideal for animal husbandry, they occupied the lands around the Tisza River in the 10th and 11th centuries, and by the early 13th century there was a dense network of settlements, whose economic base was pastoralism, in the Hortobágy, the main axis of which was the trading route from Buda through Tiszafúred and Debrecen into Transylvania.
With the progressive depopulation of the region from the 14th century onwards, the settlements disappeared. The only manmade features in the wide plains of the Puszta were light temporary structures of reeds and branches, used to provide winter shelter for animals and men. The sole surviving structures from this time, which were public buildings built from stone, are the bridges and the csárdas . The Nine Arch Bridge at Hortobágy is the longest stone bridge in Hungary. A wooden bridge known to have been in existence as early as the 14th century was replaced in 1827-33 by the existing structure in classical style. The Zádor Bridge in the southern part of the National Park was built in 1809 with nine arches, but the two side piers were swept away by a flood on the Zádor River in 1830 and never replaced. The csárdas were provincial inns built in the 18th and 19th centuries to provide food and lodging for travellers.
The typical csárda consists of two buildings facing one another, both single-storeyed and thatched or, occasionally, roofed with shingles or tiles. A tavern was normally set up on the side of the road with a railed-off counter in a room that had access to the wine cellar. A few also had one or two guest rooms. On the opposite side of the road from the csárda was provision for horses and carriages. The best known of the csárdas are at Balmazújváros (18th century), Hortobágy (first built in 1699 and reconstructed on several occasions), Nagyhegyes (early 19th century), Nagyiván (mid-18th century), and Tiszafüred (c . 1770).
In the early 19th century, water regulation systems were set up, notably control over flooding of the Tisza River: this resulted in the draining of former wetlands, which were converted to arable farming. Reduction of the water available for the natural pastures decreased their fertility, which was the cause of serious overgrazing in the early part of the 20th century. Efforts were made to diversify the land use of the Hortobágy, the most successful of which was the creation of artificial fishponds between 1914 and 1918 and again in the 1950s.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description[in French only]
De nombreux peuples ont migré de l'est vers le Bassin des Carpates pendant la préhistoire. Le groupe nomade qui est arrivé autour de 2000 av. J.-C. à la fin de l'Age du bronze fut le premier à laisser son empreinte sur le paysage naturel, sous la forme de nombreux tumuli (kurgans). La région est en marge de l'Empire romain et, à l'époque, occupée par les Sarmates, un peuple cavalier venu d'Asie. Les Avars sont arrivés au milieu du VIe siècle, suivis par des colons slaves.
Les Hongrois s'installèrent dans ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui la Hongrie à la fin du IXe siècle, menés par leur chef, Arpád. Comme la région se prêtait à merveille à l'élevage, ils occupèrent les terres autour de la Tisza aux Xe et XIe siècles. Au début du XIIIe siècle, un réseau dense d'établissements, dont l'économie reposait sur l'activité pastorale, s'était développé dans l'Hortobágy. L'axe commercial principal reliant Buda à la Transylvanie passait par Tiszafúred et Debrecen. Une tribu Cuman venue du sud de la Russie s'installa pacifiquement près de Nagykunság au sud-ouest de l'Hortobágy au début du XIIIe siècle.
La région fut cependant dévastée par la horde mongole qui déferla sur cette partie de l'Europe en 1241-1242 et de nombreux villages ne furent jamais relevés après le départ soudain des Mongols à la mort de leur Grand khân. Pendant la grande peste, au milieu du XIVe siècle, de nombreux villages se vidèrent de leur population et furent abandonnés. Simultanément, Debrecen se développa et attira les habitants des autres villages.
La région tomba entre les mains des Ottomans lorsque Debrecen fut prise en 1543. D'autres villages furent abandonnés durant les guerres qui dévastèrent la région entre 1593 et 1608, après l'incursion des Tatars de Crimée en 1594 et la guerre de quinze ans qui refoula les Turcs hors de Hongrie en 1711.
Les 150 ans de gouvernement turc ont renforcé l'économie pastorale qui devait dès lors dominer l'Hortobágy. De grands troupeaux de moutons et de boeufs étaient gardés sur les prairies ouvertes du début du printemps jusqu'à l'automne, puis conduits vers les abris d'hiver à proximité des sources d'eau. Au début du XIXe siècle, ce système prit fin, ruiné par la dévastation économique causée par les guerres napoléoniennes et les changements d'habitude alimentaire. Simultanément, des systèmes de régulation des eaux ont été mis en place. La domestication des eaux du fleuve Tisza élimina les crues et les inondations et draina les marécages qui furent transformés en terres arables, tandis que les prairies naturelles, privées d'eau, perdirent leur fertilité. Les maigres ressources ne suffisaient plus à nourrir les troupeaux et la région connut une grave surexploitation au début du XXe siècle.
On s'efforça de diversifier les activités dans l'Hortobágy, dont la plus réussie fut la création des étangs à poissons entre 1914 et 1918 et à nouveau dans les années 1950. Les étangs et les lacs couvrent actuellement une superficie de 65km2. L'introduction de la culture du riz dans les années 1950 fut un échec, de même que les projets de reboisement dans les anciens marais asséchés au sol alcalin.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) may be an option for you. EBUS is used to detect and monitor cancers of the lungs and surrounding chest area that have traditionally required more invasive surgical approaches, such as open lung biopsy, to evaluate. An open biopsy uses surgery to make a cut (incision) between the ribs and remove a sample of lung tissue. EBUS is performed during a bronchoscopy, a procedure involving the placement of a tube through the mouth or nose into the large airways leading to the lungs.
If abnormal areas are seen during the ultrasound exam, a tissue sample (biopsy) is taken and sent for laboratory analysis to determine the presence of cancer or other abnormalities.
EBUS has proven to be effective in determining the stage of lung cancer and other thoracic (chest) cancers. Knowing how far the cancer has spread is important in determining the best approach to treatment.
In addition to diagnosing and staging lung cancer, EBUS may also be used to detect infections or help diagnose other lung conditions.

Luck is in the AFC and RGIII in NFC. So they will most likely meet once every 4 years... not a rivalry regardless if they are the top 2 QBs.
What help create the rivalry between Ind/Peyton and NE/Brady was that both teams finished first in their division for most of their tenures, which guaranteed at least one regular season game and they also met in the Playoffs (since they both were very good teams).
In order for a Luck/RT rivalry you need to have Ind and Mia finish first for a few years.
Even if we finish first because of the defense, the media will create it a QB vs QB match.
If this year we and colts finish 2nd then I see it starts a rivalry - because I predict in 2 or so years - once Brady fades - and we on top of AFC East and let the rivalry continues every single year.
Are you kidding? It's more like Manning vs Henne
There are gonna be so many great battles between these two.
So glad we have Tannehill!
Suck for Luck?
We were dyin' for Ryan!
oh please make it stop, let's allow this stuff to play out. You are talking 2 future HOfers in Brady vs. manning, Luck looks like he can be great, Tannheill looks like he can be good. Just enjoy watching them develop.
Hate to say I'm with junc. I can honestly say nationally Tannehill is in the conversation now, I think he was. Conversations with guys at work (pats land), WEEI Boston and Mike Lombardi this morning it's all RGIII and Luck, no mention of Tannehill this week.
A liar, cheater and murderer walk into a bar, the New England Patriots must be in town!

"Our Standards Division inspectors are constantly monitoring the accuracy of price-scanning systems in retail stores throughout the state to ensure fairness in business transactions for consumers and retailers," said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. "Customers with complaints about the accuracy of price scanners can contact the division at (919) 733-3313."
The NCDA&CS Standards Division conducts periodic, unannounced inspections of a business' price-scanner system to check for accuracy between the prices advertised and the prices that ring up at the register. If a store has more than a 2 percent error rate on overcharges, inspectors discuss the findings with the store manager and conduct a more intensive follow-up inspection at a later date. Undercharges are also reported, but do not count against a store.
Penalties are assessed if a store fails the follow-up inspection. In addition to the penalties paid, the store will be subject to re-inspection every 60 days from the last inspection until it meets the 2-percent-or-less rate. Additional penalties may be assessed if the store fails a re-inspection.
The following store paid a civil penalty after two inspections:
The stores listed below paid additional penalties after multiple inspections turned up excessive price-scanner errors:
Each store could have been assessed a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for each violation under the Weights and Measures Act of 1975. Money collected from civil penalties is distributed to school systems statewide.

New media and innovative music thrives in Nashville
Soundcrawl, Nashville's Sound Art and New Media festival, has announced the lineup for its fourth annual festival, happening this year Oct. 6-10.
The opening night features a rare solo set by electric violinist Tracy Silverman, followed by five nights of contemporary, experimental and indeterminate music, which includes piano-controlled Mortal Kombat games, Microsoft Kinect-enabled interactive dance, and music premieres incorporating cutting-edge technology with classical music.
The event promises to be an "eclectic mix of live performances and innovative media installations in a carnival atmosphere."
The festival will take place in two locations, beginning in The Arcade at the downtown First Saturday Art Crawl and then moving to the AfterCrawl at the Brick Factory located in the basement of Cummins Station, where several nights of music and new media will take place.
An underground event for Nashville's younger, contemporary art scene, the AfterCrawl attracts flocks of rockers and hipsters to purchase local art by young, emerging artists, while drinking free beer and bobbing heads to local indie rock bands — the perfect location for this plugged-in version of new classical music.
Founded in 2009, Soundcrawl is an initiative of nonprofit Artists for Community Transformation. Since its inception, Soundcrawl has received 543 submissions from artists and composers in 45 countries and exists in large part by in-kind support from Internally Sound and Sennheiser USA.
Below is the schedule:
6-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, The Arcade, free and open to public
Brian Franklin, "The Essential Mortal Kombat"
Soundcrawl will again partner with downtown's First Saturday Art Crawl, presenting its MainStage selections along with a new interactive piece, "The Essential Mortal Kombat" at The Arcade. Artist and composer Brian Franklin has engineered a way to play classic video games — with a piano. The performance will include two pianos, enabling audience members to "play" each other. The "score" becomes the game itself, and the resulting sounds are the musical composition.
9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, Brick Factory, $20
Tracy Silverman at AfterCrawl
Tracy Silverman, who recently returned from the Carnegie Hall premiere of Palmian Chord Ryddle with the Nashville Symphony and who is heralded by BBC as "the greatest living exponent of the electric violin," is supporting the festival by headlining the AfterCrawl. Silverman, a frequent collaborator with the likes of John Adams and Terry Riley, will be performing on his custom-built six-string violin through a guitar amp and a host of pedals, in what's sure to be a memorable event.
5-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7, Brick Factory, $20
Art of the Future, 26 performances
Soundcrawl's exhibition event returns this year to fill the Brick Factory with the simultaneous "sounds and wonders" of 26 new media compositions from around the world, alongside intermittent live performances that make use of cutting-edge technology: violin and laptop playing a duet; an interactive dance work that uses the Microsoft Kinect to respond to the dancers movements, a work for guitar and electronics, and "11 Measurements," a work by Lanier Sammons, which uses information from the audience and atmosphere to create sound. A complete lineup of works, performances and installations can be found on the Soundcrawl website, www.soundcrawlnashville.com.
New this year, Soundcrawl has introduced three evening events at the Brick Factory to support local artists and further develop the Nashville audience on weeknights. "We've really been looking for ways to leverage our relationships with Sennheiser and the Brick Factory to support the new media artists in this community," says director and co-founder of Soundcrawl Kyle Baker, "and what better way than to offer the space and equipment as an empty canvas for their fertile imaginations?"
6:30-8 p.m Monday, Oct. 8, $10
Benton-C Bainbridge and Tony Youngblood
Benton-C is a prolific video artist whose recent work at SeedSpace Gallery in Nashville drew rave reviews. Along with Tony Youngblood (of Theatre Intangible and the Circuit Bender's Ball), the evening will be the premiere of FastMapping: Guests are encouraged to bring an object, and Benton-C will projection-map onto these objects in real-time, while Tony accompanies musically. "Projection mapping is the mad science of teaching video projectors to accurately throw video onto uncommon objects," says Baker.
6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, $10
Nashville premiere of Tim Hinck's latest string quartet
Hinck is an active composer in Chattanooga, where he recently premiered a chamber opera for boy soprano and electronics and also stages the New Dischord Festival in Chattanooga.
6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, suggested donation of $10
Robbie Lynn Hunsinger
Hunsinger's work incorporates classical woodwinds with sensors that trigger media elements.
Tickets are $20 for Saturday and Sunday, $10 for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, or a Festival Pass can be purchased for all five nights, along with field-trips (such as a tour of Blackbird Studios) and a swag bag for $40. In collaboration with Artober, a month-long celebration by Metro Arts and NowPlayingNashville.com of everything creative in Nashville, you can purchase a $10 Artober V.I.P. Pass for $5 off normal admission or $10 off the full festival pass. This pass is valid for most arts events in Nashville in October. Visit artobernashville.com for more information.

At what point does the public's right to know the facts outweigh a public servant's right to privacy?
That is the question we are facing in the wake of the Plumas Unified School District board's decision to dismiss a popular principal. The board voted in closed session March 7 to not renew Quincy High School Principal Dr. Sue Segura's contract. The outcry from teachers, parents and students who vehemently support Segura has been loud and clear: It was wrong.
But, was it?
Did Segura fail to look after the welfare of students who weren't athletic or didn't get good grades, as some have suggested? Did she play favorites? Was she previously disciplined by the district for misconduct?
The answers are known by only Segura, the board members and the superintendent. But the result of keeping the information confidential is threatening to tear the school and community apart.
We at Feather Publishing believe this is an instance where the need for full disclosure trumps the right to keep the personnel file closed. Feather Publishing is preparing a written request to the school district for "any and all" disciplinary actions involving Dr. Segura. We are doing this so that the community can attain a complete understanding of the circumstances that led to the board's decision.
There is precedent for our request: The California Supreme Court has held that "where the charges are found true, or discipline is imposed," the strong public policy against disclosure vanishes. The courts said that with respect to high-level public servants (like a school principal) disclosure of an investigation into misconduct is required even if the charges are found not to be reliable and the official is exonerated. The public interest in understanding why and how the agency treated the accusations outweighs the official's interest in keeping the allegations confidential.
It would be refreshing if both sides would consult their attorneys and prepare a joint statement: publish the facts for all of us to read. They do, after all, work for us.
Segura said she was surprised, stunned and felt numb after hearing the news. If there is a glaring misdeed tucked away in her personnel file, was she given any direction from the district to make improvements?
We rely on our superintendent and school board to look out for the best interests of our kids. And we have no reason to believe they aren't doing what they feel is best for the students in Quincy. Segura has made myriad improvements on campus, including student accountability and in significantly improved test scores. Last year, she was named Administrator of the Year by the Association of California School Administrators. Despite these accomplishments, if Segura is indeed a liability to the district, then she shouldn't be working here. If she has committed a violation worthy of dismissal, even her strong supporters would likely step back and accept the decision.
However, the board's decision to let Segura go wasn't unanimous. The 3-1-1 vote leaves room to speculate that perhaps the reason for her dismissal required further debate.
Right now, the debate in the community is fueled by rumors. Feather Publishing has received numerous calls, emails, faxes and personal visits from community members, on both sides of the issue, claiming to know what is going on.
If we believe everything we hear, Quincy High School looks like a snapshot of just about every other school in this country — complete with the problems and struggles that teenagers and their teachers everywhere are dealing with.
We want to believe that the school board truly has the students' best interests in mind, and is basing its decision on facts.
But we would all feel much better if we were allowed to hear the facts ourselves.

I am slowly switching our shop from stick to mig process. Currently we use Wearshield ABR. I am looking for a wire that's available in .045" gas or gasless.....we just want quality. Decent out of position is neccesary. For the most part we will be doing equipment in an asphalt plant ranging rom conveyors for stone to bucket loader buckets thatscoop off a pavement surface to load the asphaly mixing bins with stone and sand. Looking for something that lasts long, has good buildup and wear resistance as well ease of use out of position. I am perfectly capable of setting most wires up but the issue is who we have using the stuff. Anyways, thanks in advance. Dave

Hard surface wire?
For Equipment repair I use dual shield Lincoln ( Outer shield 71 Elite ) with 75/25 shelding gas and for areas that need to be abrasion resistant I use AR 400 plate.
You might want to look through the lincoln welding consumable catolog to find something that suits you better.

Best thing to do in your case is to call the various hard-face manufacturers direct. Stoody, Rankin, Lincoln Electric, and Postle all have excellent technical advisors, and can tell you which products they supply will work best in your specific application, considering both hardness and toughness (resistance to chipping). Probably other manufacturers do also, I can't think of them right now.
Also consider weld-on wear plates, I think from Kennametal, others may supply them also. The ones I used were 2"x3"x 3/16" or so, with a hole in the middle. Good for covering large areas, simply hold them in place, plug weld the hole, and then weld around the edges. I used them often when hardfacing grinding equipment. This was 20 years ago, I'm sure somebody somewhere still supplies something similar.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....

The Kenco plate are durable and fast to install.
For wire, we use Lincore33, 50, and 60-0. 1/16 and 532. I see they are available in .045
They are not all position, but will work for horizontal beads on vertical surfaces.Jeff

In the western U.S. it's very (very) hard to find hardface consumables in anything other than stick (in quantities) because everyone went years ago to weld on hard material.
Small amounts are still done with stick, but mines, etc are all using weld on material be they Kenco plates, or more likely carbide overlay kits or the manganese wear plates.
Kenco plates are cheap and fast to install (and in stock about everywhere), carbide/manganese are more expensive but last a lot longer.
Lincoln makes some good hard wires but they aren't always available, some are made to order in pallet quantity only with considerable lead time.
Just my opinion but the off the shelf carbide overlay material is the biggest bang for the buck, they armour up a D-9 in very little time and last really nice.
Again my opinion but anybody running a hard wire (unless it's on a roll crusher) instead of weld on material (in large quantity), is wasting many dollars even on a little backhoe bucket.
The Kenco distributer in my state will ship 5, or 5,000 right to my door.

Extract an image from the paper scan
Okay so you have a great high quality scan of an image, one that is okay for commercial use that is!!!
how do you get the image off the paper?
Well I'll tell you how I do it
1. scan the image at a high resolution, I usually scan mine at over 600ppi.
open your image in photoshop or your favourite editing program that allows layers, your scapping program will do in most cases.
This is what I have scanned for the purpose of this tutorial
2. Next find your levels tool (this is where it is in photoshop)
3. drag the black handle to the right and the white handle to the left till everything is either pure black or pure white
Like this
4. Now choose your tool that allows you to select one color throughout your image, in photoshop it is Select>Color Range...
choose to select black #000000 and set the values high so that you get every last bit of black and you will get marching ants all around the black part of the image like I have in my image below.
5. Select inverse and hit delete, voila the paper is gone and you just have the image, hmmm, and the text but we'll take care of that in the next step
6. if you are using photoshop you can add a stroke in your styles palette to find any stay pixels that might be left. This is where we delete the type too
7. Now that the type and strays are gone you just have your graphic. You can now remove the style that you used to stroke the image with. And then save your image at 300ppi. If you can't do this in the resize options of your program, create a new image at 300ppi and paste the image onto it, it will convert to the new image's resolution.
Finally you can use your image on papers, elements, anything your little designer heart desires.
Here's how my little girl turned out. In this paper I made a cardstock paper then I duplicated the layer, and clipped it to my image, I then changed the image's blend mode to Linear burn to get this effect.
I hope you enjoyed learning how to remove the paper background. And remember to always check your images for quality before using them. A lot of older images in books have a bit of natural jaggieness but some softer blend modes will not show them as much and texture is your friend
happy scrapping and designing

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 249
Much like throwing a baseball, there needs to be more muscle involvement from the rest of your body so as to not isolate the arm and shoulder.
The common injury from Toms/Thumbs is letting your arm reach full extention and having it pull your shoulder out of socket momentarily. This is hard to keep under control if you are using toms/thums to go over objects that are really tall.
Allow yourself to use a throwing motion similar to a baseball player throwing a ball in from the outfield to home plate. Start your run up with the disc close to your chest with your elbow bent. Make your body turn and reach the disc back (think throwing a ball) keeping the elbow bent and turning your upper building tension at the waist (Coiling up). Now plant that front foot and let your body uncoil starting at the waist letting your elbow lead the arm through the throw. (Just like pitcher). It is important to let your body follow through with the pitching motion just like a ball player does. This will prevent a sudden stop of the body and the arm continuing onto hyper extention.
Maybe I should just do a video.
The only way I've been able to avoid that injury is with significant stretching with a resistance band. If I don't do that pre round I definitely am not throw any overhands for the day.
P.S. The video would probably be really helpful, DookVille, if you wouldn't mind...
I've dislocated my right shoulder a handful of times over the years, once or twice from throwing thumbers when I first started playing disc golf. I haven't had this happen in the past year or two due to a change in my form. I go through a similar motion as most when I throw the thumber, but when I get to the point of acceleration all of my power comes from my wrist and triceps. Thats it. I put absolutely no effort in with my shoulder muscles. I look at my shoulders role in the throw as simply guiding the disc while all power comes from the snap in my wrist and follow through with my triceps. My max distance for this is probably 220 tops but that's all I need when I use it. So give a whirl, hopefully it helps you out.
One more tip, I don't extend my arm/shoulder all the way back either. My elbow is bent the whole time and then straightens when I move the disc past my head moving forward. I start the thumber with my hand almost parallel to my head. That way I don't go too far back or up with my swing which can cause injury. It minimizes the torque on my shoulder that way too.
Stretching and warming up is key to prevent injury, I carry a baseball mit and softball with me and I throw for about 15 minutes before I play, Ill also do quite a few reps of holding the disc and practice my throwing motion with out releasing the disc, increasing my arm speed each rep.
Don't throw them!!!!! Easiest way!!!!
You're giving up way too much by not throwing them, IMO... I understand if some players have pre-existing injuries, but even they should be able to have an overhand approach throw in their arsenal. It takes barely any shoulder strength or torque to pop out a 150 to 200 foot thumber or tommy in situations where another shot type just won't cut it. Additionally, that overhand approach is quite a bit more accurate with just a little patience and practice.
well put!
elbow tight to the body

Little is trendier in Washington than talking about how broken Congress is. This won't be the year Congress does anything to change that.
The parties' 2012 agendas share little but a relentless electoral focus. Republicans and Democrats will use the House and Senate floors mostly to advance so-called jobs bills that will not see the light of day in the other chamber but aim to boost their respective parties' electoral prospects.
Plans by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to work with the White House on an agenda to prompt GOP obstruction, which Democrats will link to its likely presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, highlight how focused congressional leaders are on influencing the presidential race.
This means 2012 will look a lot like last fall, when Democrats pushed President Obama's jobs proposal, in whole and then pieces, and attacked Republicans for filibustering it. Remaining provisions, like helping states hire and retain teachers and first responders and a plan to boost infrastructure spending, could return to the Senate floor.
However, Democrats don't seem intent on actually passing those measures, as Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who heads Senate Democrats' policy and messaging shop, insists they will propose funding those bills with surtaxes on incomes of more than $1 million. That ensures Republican opposition—and an opportunity to bash Republicans for "protecting millionaires at the expense of the middle class."
An immigration-policy overhaul bill—designed to force Romney to oppose something independents, Latinos, and business groups likely will support—could be on tap. Democrats are also eyeing renewable-energy-related legislation, which Democratic aides say is popular and could be effective politically if gas prices skyrocket this summer.
Although the year will probably produce few actual laws, Congress will likely start with a relative burst of legislative activity. Senate Democrats on Friday announced a long-awaited agreement to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration. The deal paves the way for finalization of an FAA bill years in the making.
A deal to extend the payroll-tax holiday for another nine or 10 months is expected ahead of next month's expiration. GOP leaders signaled they will not pick a major fight on this issue, which they see as a political loser. Rank-and-file Republicans, battered in last month's debate, may be more amenable to their leaders' wishes this time. Congress could also pass a Transportation Department bill ahead of the March 1 deadline.
Led by Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, House Republicans will focus on presenting a more unified front—eventually in concert with the GOP nominee—to push back and attack Obama's policies.
"If you look at this election that's coming up, it's pretty clear it's going to be a referendum on the president's policies regarding our economy," Boehner said on Friday at an issues retreat in Baltimore. Boehner said he will push his committee chairs to aggressively scrutinize the Obama administration, particularly on the regulatory front. As for the Democratic-led Senate, "maybe, just maybe, they can get out of the way," Boehner said, pointing out that the House has passed more than 30 jobs-related bills that the Senate hasn't considered.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia told his colleagues in Baltimore that 2011 showed "progress must be more incremental than some of us would have liked. To implement our policies, we have a lot of work to do. To win this election, to implement our agenda, we've got to lay out our vision in a way that people understand."
Such efforts to go on the offensive will begin as early as Wednesday morning, the day after the State of the Union address, when the House Energy and Commerce Committee hears testimony from a State Department official regarding the president's denial of a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline project.
Dems on Defensive
Republicans have no intention of relenting on the Keystone issue until they run out of options or force Obama to approve the pipeline project.
"We are absolutely committed—as a Republican team—to keep the Keystone XL pipeline on the front burner," House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said from Baltimore on Friday.
Incensed at Obama's Keystone rejection, Republicans are mulling legislative ways to take power away from the executive branch and give it to either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or Congress, even though President George W. Bush gave that authority to the State Department in a 2004 executive order. Republicans may again try to attach such measures to the payroll-tax package.
Democrats will also play defense with Environmental Protection Agency regulations that Republicans have vowed to roll back. Senate Environment and Public Works ranking member James Inhofe, R-Okla., said he will file a disapproval resolution as soon as the Senate returns this week that would nullify a new EPA standard for power plants. Unlikely to pass, it will put vulnerable incumbents seeking reelection—such as Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass.—in awkward positions. The House already voted to significantly delay that rule.

As he seeks his first of this season, Mark Webber insists his pole position will not guarantee him the victory in Abu Dhabi...
As he seeks his first of this season, Mark Webber insists his pole position will not guarantee him the victory in Abu Dhabi.
The Australian, who is retiring at the end of this season, will start Sunday's 55-lap race at the Yas Marina circuit from pole position which is usually the best position on a track of this nature.
The P1 slot, though, has been jinxed in the past.
In three of four grands prix, the drivers starting from pole position has failed to reach the chequered flag never mind failed to win the race.
As such, it is no wonder Webber is not betting on the victory even though he knows his Red Bull RB9 should be strong.
"There are no guarantees," he said.
"We have a good car for the race I believe, as we have shown in the last few events we are always there or there abouts.
"Been leading some races in the last few events and challenging for some very very good results.
"In general the form has been very strong so I hope to carry that over to tomorrow night and keep my head down and look for a very good result."
Speaking about his form in qualifying, which saw him post a 1:39.957 to beat Sebastian Vettel by 0.118s, the Aussie said: "This weekend has gone pretty smoothly.
"Not the smoothest path to the start of Q2 or Q1, we were not electric. We changed the car quite a bit and I got more and more comfortable as the session went on.
"It made me more comfortable in the final sector, where Seb has been quick, so I was able to match him there and stay where I had been quick already."

Comments On May 09, 2015:Normally I use a tusk rim lock just because they are cheaper and seemed to get the job done just as well. This past rear tire change I ordered this one just to try it out and see if it was better. Turns out it was worse. For some reason after 1 hare scramble and a day of riding my tire bulged out really bad and after taking the tire apart found that the rim lock was broken. Bolt was pulled out.

Comments On Apr 10, 2015:Used for Honda XR 50 rear wheel, not XR80. The 1.40/1.60 rim lock fits perfect on the 10" rear wheel. It did not come with a rim lock stock, so this was a nice addition by simply drilling a hole. Thanks!

If you're worried about your cholesterol level and have already started exercising and eating healthier foods, you might wonder if adding a cholesterol-lowering supplement to your diet can help reduce your numbers. Although few natural products have been proven to reduce cholesterol, some might be helpful. With your doctor's OK, consider these cholesterol-lowering supplements and products.
May cause nausea, indigestion, gas, diarrhea or constipation
May be ineffective if you take ezetimibe (Zetia), a prescription cholesterol medication
May cause a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, gas, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
May interact with some blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin)
May cause, gas, bloating or diarrhea
May interact with some blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix) and warfarin (Coumadin)
May cause bad breath, body odor, heartburn, gas, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
May interact with blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin)
May cause nausea, vomiting, gas or diarrhea
Another popular cholesterol-lowering supplement is red yeast rice. There is some evidence that red yeast rice can help lower your LDL cholesterol. However, the Food and Drug Administration has warned that red yeast rice products could contain a naturally occurring form of the prescription medication known as lovastatin. Lovastatin in the red yeast rice products in question is potentially dangerous because there's no way for you to know what level or quality of lovastatin might be in red yeast rice.
Sometimes healthy lifestyle choices, including supplements and other cholesterol-lowering products, aren't enough. If your doctor prescribes medication to reduce your cholesterol, take it as directed while you continue to focus on a healthy lifestyle. As always, be sure to tell your doctor if you decide to take an herbal supplement. The herbal supplement you take may interact with other medications you take.

New York's Fashion Week is a symbol of runway-ready success for clothing designers set to make it in the style industry. This year's fashion week, which runs Feb. 7 to 14 and serves as a preview of fall fashion lines, will feature top designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Diane von Furstenburg, Donna Karan and Vienna teen Amanda Daucher.
Daucher, a Madison High School senior, is scheduled to show a shirt she created with designer Stacy Igel during Igel's fall collection unveiling on Feb. 13.
"I've always wanted to go to Fashion Week," Daucher said. "It's really amazing because not everyone gets to do that and it kind of shows you've made it [in the fashion industry]."
On Jan. 9, Igel, whose label is "Boy Meets Girl," posted a video announcing Daucher as the winner of the "Boy Meets Bloglovin' Girl" contest.
"I could tell how much thought and effort [Daucher] put into her contest entry. Especially with her video, you could see the passion in her eyes," Igel said, adding that Daucher beat some 50-plus applicants for the opportunity to work with Igel and go to Fashion Week. "The way she talked about her design inspirations and long-term goals for herself, I saw a lot of myself in her when I was younger. She's driven, talented and I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work with her at this early stage in her career."
For the contest, Daucher said she submitted a video of herself discussing her inspirations as well as what she likes about Igel's design style.
"She does a lot with charity and her style is casual edgy and chic," Daucher said. "My style is kind of everything."
Daucher and Igel have been video chatting since the contest announcement, collaborating on the design of the shirt they will show Feb. 13. As part of her contest win, Daucher receives a trip to New York and a $250 gift card to Lockerz, a partner in the contest. She will also get a back-stage glimpse of life as a designer.
"It's real world," she said. "I really want to be a stylist... I really want to be on [photo] shoots for a magazine. I want to pick the clothes for the shoot."
Daucher was tight-lipped about the design of the shirt she helped create for Fashion Week, but did say, "It's kind of on the casual side. You could wear it to school or wherever."
Daucher flies to New York on Monday.
"[Igel] is done with the garment so when I get there, we're going to style it... try to make the garment look its best [adding accessories and pairing it with pants or a skirt]," Daucher said.
While Daucher attends high school at Madison, she travels on school days to Fairfax Academy for Communications and the Arts, which is located in Fairfax High School. The academy offers students attending Fairfax County public schools professional learning opportunities in fine and performing arts like fashion design.
Fashion design instructor Jin-A Chang said she teaches 45 students this year. Each student must apply and demonstrate their interest to gain entrance into the program.
"It's always been a competitive atmosphere, but it's a friendly kind of competitive," she said. "They all grow together, so when they see others achieve something, they think they can too."
Chang said the Internet has provided students more opportunities to compete with their peers as well as promote themselves than when she was a teen. Chang previously worked for design lines like Vera Wang and Puma, before moving to Virginia and becoming a teacher.
"I'm hoping when [Daucher] goes to New York, she will network, she'll meet lots of people and get an idea of what she wants for a career," Chang said.
Daucher is already making a name for herself through her blog "Fearless Beauty 17," on which she posts entries about three times a week and has about 3,000 followers.
"I like to talk about different fashion trends and make up tutorials."
The teen was also accepted, her junior year, to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.
Igel said the contest offers her an opportunity to work with up-and-coming talents.
"The driving force behind this contest is our Boy Meets Girl University Program, which supports students who wish to explore fashion and design and might not otherwise have the resources to break into the industry on their own," she said. "I also like to think of myself as a mentor for these aspiring students; so the door is always open for them to contact me in the future."

Incomplete solubilization and digestion and poor peptide recovery are frequent limitations in protein sample preparation for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Additives such as SDS or urea can improve protein solubilization and denaturation, but they tend to have negative effects on digestion and MS analysis. Here we present a novel acid- and thermo-labile surfactant, ProteaseMax™ Surfactant, that improves solubilization, digestion and peptide recovery while avoiding negative effects observed with common solubilizing agents. The surfactant is designed to degrade over the course of a typical sample preparation protocol, generating zwitterionic and neutral species that do not interfere with MS.
