Recipe by Donna
"This is a wonderfully hearty soup that brings raves when you serve it! Add some crusty French or Italian bread and a tossed green salad and that's all you will need! Serve with grated Parmesan cheese."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
Italian sausage
1 cup
chopped onion
2 cloves
garlic, minced
5 cups
beef broth
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
dry red wine
8 ounces
fresh tortellini pasta
1 cup
sliced carrots
2 cups
stewed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon
dried basil
1/2 teaspoon
dried oregano
8 ounces
tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups
sliced zucchini
green bell peppers, seeded and cubed
3 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
This has to be one of the best soups I've ever made. It has a great flavour, but I did find a pound of sausage to be too much. I will cut the meat down at least by half. I used fairly spicy italian sausage. I omitted the peppers and didn't have parmesan cheese. My husband has already asked for it again!
The tortellini was weird, my boyfriend took it out when he ate the soup. The soup was very oily and despite the vegetables, it felt so unhealthy.

OH MY GOSH! This is the BEST soup! We all loved it, even the kids.... I made a couple of modifications, because of what I had on hand... instead of sausage, I used ground beef... instead of beef broth I used chicken... and omitted the red wine and instead added a tablespoon or so of Worchestershire sauce. YUMMY STUFF!
This was fantastic! The only thing I changed was using added beef broth for the water and only using a dash of wine. My husband loved it and is taking the leftovers (I halved the recipe)for lunch tomorrow. I'm jealous. My toddler picked the tortellini and sausage out. Next time I make it, I'll try fresh tortellini rather than frozen. Thanks for a yummy dinner!
This soup has a wonderful flavor and is very satisfying. I'm impressed with the simplicity of the ingredients and preparation. Like others, I substituted paste for sauce and then made a few other modifications, like two small potatoes instead of zucchini, omitting the peppers and parsely, substituting 2 cups of rotini for the tortellini, and using 28 oz. of stewed tomatoes. Worked great! A very versatile recipe, Donna. Nice job.
WOW, WOW, WOW Never before has a recipe been so complete and adjustable at the same time!! This was great because you can follow the recipe or you can tweek it to fit your pantry/fridge and still get great results everytime!! I added celery and 1 red bell and 1 green instead of 2 greens. I used a bit of Prego chunky garden combo sauce and a can of tomato paste in place of the tomatoe sauce and added a bit more spice since I used italian turkey rather then pork and the results were amazing. I ate it for breakfast and dinner the next day. I just couldn't get enough!!! Many Thanks!!!
I thought this was a fabulous way to make Tortellini soup. I left out the bell peppers (Contadina Stewed Tomatoes already had some in their cans and its not overpowering either) and swapped the Tomato sauce for Tomato Paste. However, do not use too much. In my opinion, I prefer the beef broth. Add to much sauce/paste and it thickens into a pasta sauce, which is great too, but its not how I vision tortellini soup so i think keeping to the broth is best with all the additions! Thanks Donna. It tasted super delicious on the very first try!!!!!!!!!!! Now that's what I call a really good recipe!
Excellent Soup, Very Hearty
I used hot Italian sausage and tomato paste instead of tomato sauce. My family loved it.

While there may be many families who are in need this winter, there are also many volunteers who care in Calvert County — as well as an abundance of trees to help those less fortunate heat their homes during the season's cold temperatures.
Armed with trucks, wood splitters and cutters, axes and willing hands and spirits, more than 150 members of the Chesapeake Church Summit Men from Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown recently cut and hauled enough wood to fill 45 trucks, which they later delivered to 22 area families in need, according to a press release. The wood the group uses comes from the church's grounds in Huntingtown.
The men delivered between a half-cord to three cords of firewood at each stop they made this year. For many families, this firewood will be their only source of heat during the winter months, the release states.
This marks the seventh consecutive year Chesapeake Church has spearheaded the Firewood for Families endeavor. This year brought the largest number of volunteers and more than doubled the amount of deliveries, and 90 percent of the deliveries were Calvert County residents, according to the release.
"The need is out there and it is strong," Chet Taylor, Chesapeake Church Summit Men's leader, said in the release. "The men at the church answered the call to serve. I hear the stories of how the men who delivered the wood are just as touched as the firewood recipients when they return to the church. It is rather humbling."
The majority of the families who received the firewood use the church's Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry, and others came from referrals. The food pantry serves more than 700 families every week, the release states.
For the seventh straight year, Summit Men's member Steve Krouse manned the splitter and cutter to help those who need help to stay warm this winter.
"I do this to serve the Lord, to help those in need," Krouse said in the release. "This is my way of giving back to those less fortunate."
"Bottom line is those who attend Chesapeake Church have a servant's heart," Taylor said in the release. "They are called and answer every time. It's contagious and the number of volunteer[s] continues to grow."

The states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were initially settled from across the Ohio River. Many of their early settlers had sympathy for southern slavery. Settlers flooded into these new states traveling west on the Erie Canal. They came from New England and Europe where opinions on slavery were negative. Slowly, elected officials in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois became abolitionist. Southerners lost control of the US Senate. The Erie Canal was a catalyst leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing the solutions we've created in action and adding value to the firm.
I work as an application developer within Fixed Income Technology. My team develops and supports applications used by the Interest Rates desk to trade and to manage their risk. As a developer, I'll typically see a project through its lifecycle – work with the business to establish requirements, develop the software, test it and implement it. We work closely with trading and operations to ensure that technology is focused on projects that will add the most value to the firm.
The most interesting aspect of my job for me is seeing our business evolve first-hand. At Goldman Sachs, you can always expect to be working with motivated and talented individuals, which I really enjoy.
I think that there is really no limit to the opportunities available at Goldman Sachs. People are given responsibilities and are encouraged to take initiative and stretch themselves at every level of the firm. For example every year that I've been here, I've worked on a project that is more challenging than the previous. I find that as I start to get comfortable in my current role, I volunteer for additional assignments. My manager supports this and actively encourages everyone on the team to be stretching themselves.
My work is very team oriented. Most of the work I do involves the team and we are constantly speaking to each other to make sure we are on the same page. Although most people tend to work very closely with their teams, there are definitely all types of roles at Goldman Sachs. For example, last year I worked on a project which was with a small team in New York, so I spent a lot of time working individually. I also spend considerable time talking to my counterparts in other regions as well as other teams across the Technology division.
My current assignment is to upgrade our bond trade booking flows from legacy technology to the firm's strategic platform. This upgrade involves developing and testing a large number of components and working with the teams in New York and Tokyo to ensure that what we implement is globally consistent. I spend a lot of time working with people from my team and from other technology teams to ensure that the project is executed smoothly. Communication is a big part of my job.
If I were to describe the most challenging part of my job, bond trading is a high volume electronic business which means that even a few seconds of delay or outage can have big impact on our business – so the pressure to get it right the first time is high. We maintain a high focus on performance and resiliency – the systems should cope well with the high volumes we see today, as well as should be easy to maintain and support.
The most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing the solutions we've created in action and adding value to the firm. For example, one application that I helped develop is being used across several fixed income desks to book bond trades. It is very satisfying to walk across the trading floor and see it being used.
Other rewarding aspects for me come from outside my day-to-day job - I am the recruiting team captain for my old university, so it's always nice to go back and help with campus recruiting and to give students an insight into Goldman Sachs.
I interviewed with a handful of investment banks for a summer internship in Technology. I was attracted to the financial sector because it really seemed to invest in technology and I thought that I would have the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging assignments.
I was attracted to Goldman Sachs in particular because a few of my friends had worked here and only had good things to say about the firm! I thoroughly enjoyed my summer internship and gladly accepted when I was offered the chance to come back as a graduate analyst.
I recall that everyone – from the people I met during campus recruitment, to my interviewers, to my first manager – was extremely professional and very engaging. They were also very committed to the beliefs of the firm, believed in stretching yourself and believed in meritocracy. I also remember thinking that people at Goldman Sachs were all very driven and liked to get things done – that impression has not changed in the last four years!
When I think back, I thought I'd be working in Technology since I've always enjoyed computer science, but I didn't know that I would find those technical challenges within the financial services industry. However, the more research I did at university, the more I was interested in exploring the opportunities within Goldman Sachs. I especially like the fact that we work closely with internal clients and build software for users within the same firm, and I also like the large breadth of work available here.
If I were to offer advice to someone who is considering a career in finance, I would say that you need to do your research – talk to people in the industry, go to recruitment events, ask questions and find out whether you would enjoy working in the industry.
An internship is a great way to find out more about a firm first-hand and also to find out where your own skills lie, so I'd definitely encourage people who are at earlier stages of their career to apply for internships.

Audit Planning
It's that time again. Creating or updating the audit plan for the next calendar year. Most audit groups probably create a risk-based plan — which essentially means we start with some sort of risk assessment and determine the audits that should be on the plan — then try to figure out if there are enough hours to complete the work we propose to do. There is a brief discussion among the audit leadership team. Managers and directors trying to get more hours and resources. CAEs thinking that 250 hours for an audit is an enormous amount of time — nostalgically remembering their days in public accounting when they used to be able to complete audits in record time (conveniently forgetting that those jobs were always miserably over budget). Seniors and staff wondering why everyone is huddled behind closed doors all the time — secretly hoping that there are exotic locations to travel to on the new plan and that the travel budget is reasonable.
Some groups create multiyear plans, knowing how much coverage they want to give to an area of the business on a rotational basis. Others may start with a new proposed plan each year — then meet with the risk owners to ensure a value-added plan, while still retaining their independence in setting the "right" plan at the end. Others yet may have extensive discussions with their audit committee members and senior leaders to ensure buy-in at a senior level before the plan becomes a reality.
Over the years, I've probably used all of the above approaches. Enterprise risk management activities have certainly made the starting point easier as the risk assessment is no longer a separate audit department exercise. The audit universe has become a risk universe, and with that, the audit plan is much more relevant and "exciting" for the audit department to execute. (Exciting might not be the right word choice, but we are talking about auditors after all).
Our proposed plans are complete for now. We'll start socializing with the audit committee and senior leadership soon — and hopefully hit the ground running in January. Although we create an annual project list for resource planning purposes, we also keep a pretty close eye on emerging issues throughout the year and will substitute higher risk projects as they arise (all with audit committee approval, of course).
If anyone has a novel approach — such as doing away with the annual audit plan completely, creating only quarterly plans, or fully integrating the internal and external audit efforts together to create a comprehensive audit approach — please chime in. I don't know if this is too novel, but we also build a pool of hours for "flash audits." These audits are reserved for less than full scope engagements not specified on the plan in the beginning of the year. We've found flash audits to be a great way to deliver value to our customers who might need audit services that are less than full scope.
Happy planning!

Comments, questions and tips
So easy and tasty. I used homemade beef bone stock, because I like to use real stocks, and it gives a superb rich savory taste. Didn't bother to add the sour cream to the entire soup as I want to keep it in the fridge and reheat it for lunches and I don't want to to split, instead I just swirl a blob through before serving.
Amazing! My partner and I are both lovers of soup and tomato is one of them! I have never tried my hand at making it from scratch before, so as a starter (for Valentines day), I decided to try it, as it seemed so easy! Wow we loved it!!!!! It is quite similar to the tinned 'Heniz' one, in creaminess, texture and depth but this is even better! Plus no added sugars and rubbish! As someone mentioned, I agree using the sun-blush tomatoes gave this the extra kick and depth! This took me all of 15 minutes and was a delight! I swirled the sour-cream in a heart-shape on top, as a nice touch, being Valentines day! Very filling though, and we had a meal of steak to get through afterwards; so we both couldn't manage desert! I have made this three times now, and will be making it again! Why buy it when it is this cheap and easy to make, and far superior! :D

Pruning trees and shrubs may be the most feared act in gardening. Using sharp metal objects to cut away life goes against our natural inclinations.
Remember that Nature is the Great Pruner. For example, when trees grow too close together, branches die as they compete for sunlight and airflow.
Pruning is a vital part of gardening. The key is to know why we're sharpening our shears. Consider these three reasons:
To Thin:
Remove to improve. Thinning is about cutting out all dead, diseased, and injured parts to let in more air and light. Most important, thinning prevents confusion of a plant's structural line and enhances it health.
To Reduce:
In Nature, most plants we grow are in splendid isolation, trying to spread unnaturally fast. Our job is to prevent certain shrubs and trees from outgrowing their position in a yard. Judicious reducing helps plants develop into sound structures without over-stressing their limbs. Also, maximum flowering and bountiful fruit are only possible by pruning.
To Amputate:
It sounds harsh, but severe pruning is necessary to restore older trees and shrubs to better health. Most plants are amazingly forgiving with experimentation. Think twice, cut once, and watch carefully. Your plants will tell you in their own way how to do better next season.
Pruning Pointers
Here are some pruning pointers for late winter and early spring. Plants are dormant but the coldest part of winter has passed, lowering the chance of cold damage near pruning cuts.
- Prune butterfly bush severely. These plants bloom only on new shoots. Stimulate new growth by lopping the whole plant to within a few inches of the ground.
- Cut to the ground some or all of the oldest stems of shrubby dogwoods. This will make way for the youngest stems that will provide next winter's show of bright yellow or red.
- On apple and other fruit trees, cut water sprouts right to their bases. These vigorous, upright shots soak up the plant's energy and bear few or no flowers or fruits. Remove weak twigs.
- For smooth hydrangea, cut all stems to the ground. For bigleaf or oakleaf hydrangea, cut stems with old flowers still attached back to fat flower buds.
- For lilacs, remove all dead canes. Cut out all crossing branches, keeping the strongest or most useful ones for a graceful form. Cut back last year's growth dramatically, though never more than one-third of the live wood.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Brennan Boesch celebrated his 27th birthday by going 2-for-4 with four RBI, as the Detroit Tigers took down the Tampa Bay Rays, 7-2, in the final test of a three-game series.
Andy Dirks and Alex Avila each had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI for the Tigers, who are off to a 5-1 start.
"You've got to be very satisfied with five out of six on the first homestand," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
Drew Smyly gave up one run on four hits over four-plus innings in his MLB debut. He struck out four and walked three. Collin Balester (1-0) allowed one run in two-plus innings of relief to pick up the win.
Carlos Pena hit a solo home run for the Rays, who lost two of three in the series. Evan Longoria also knocked in a run.
Jeff Niemann (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits in five full frames to suffer the loss. He struck out six and walked two.
Pena's towering blast to right just cleared the wall in the third, giving Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead.
The Tigers finally got to Niemann in the fifth. Avila led off with a walk, stole second and scored on Dirks' triple to right. Two batters later, Austin Jackson walked before stealing second. Boesch followed with a two-run single to left, giving Detroit a 3-1 lead.
"I felt pretty good today," Niemann said. "It kind of got away from us in the fifth."
The Rays got a run back in the seventh. Brayan Villarreal came in from the bullpen with men on first and second and no outs. Longoria welcomed him to the mound with an RBI single to left. But Jeff Keppinger lined into a double play and Phil Coke got Ben Zobrist swinging to keep it 3-2.
Boesch came through with a key two-run single in the bottom half of the inning. Jhonny Peralta and Dirks singled off Wade Davis. Following two outs, Jake McGee took over on the mound. Boesch stepped to the plate and knocked in both runs on a hit up the middle to make it 5-2.
The Tigers tacked on two more runs in the eighth. Joel Peralta gave up a leadoff single to Prince Fielder, who crossed the plate on Avila's triple to right-center field. Avila then scored on a wild pitch to give Detroit a five- run cushion.
Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth to secure the victory.
The Tigers have won nine of their last 11 matchups with the Rays...Detroit purchased the contract of Smyly from Triple-A Toledo and designated outfielder Clete Thomas for assignment...Niemann was 11-7 last season with 4.06 ERA and went through a stretch of 10 starts without a loss...Tampa Bay went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11.

This module provides a simple host-based access control.
Module nginx_http_access_module makes it possible to control access for specific IP-addresses of clients. Since nginx 08.22 IPv6 is supported.
Access rules are checked according to the order of their declaration. The first rule that matches a particular address or set of addresses is the one that is obeyed.
Example configuration:
In this example access is granted to networks 10.1.1.0/16 and 192.168.1.0/24 with the exception of address 192.168.1.1, which is denied access together with all other addresses as defined by the deny all rule that is matched last in this location block. In addition it allows one specific IPv6 address. All others would be denied.
Note that the order of the deny/allow is of the utmost importance. If you're coming from the Apache world you might be tempted to think that you can switch the access directives order and everything will work. In fact it doesn't. Switching the order in the above example has the result of denying access to all addresses. Consider the following incorrect situation:
If you are using many access rules you should consider that the GeoIP module is a preferred alternative to the Access module.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_access_module/allow.txt
Directive grants access for the network or addresses indicated.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_access_module/deny.txt
Directive forbids access for the network or addresses indicated.

When the jury reaches a verdict this week, 51-year-old Wayne Matthew Price will either leave the Montgomery County courthouse a free man or face a sentence for the murder of his son.
Both Price's defense attorneys and the assistant state's attorneys prosecuting the case called the death of 23-year-old Matthew Eugene Price a tragedy, but after four days of testimony ended with closing arguments Monday morning, that is all the two sides agreed upon.
"Wayne Price exhibited a conscious disregard for the consequences of his actions," said Jeffrey Wennar in the prosecution's closing Monday. "This was willful, deliberate, premeditated murder."
Wennar described the elder Price as the aggressor in a confrontation that began in his Gaithersburg apartment the evening of May 5 when Price came home to find his son had made a mess and apparently had friends over in violation of the rules Price had laid down. Price tried to force Matthew out and, when he refused, Price retrieved a handgun from his bedroom and shot him, Wennar said.
"Instead of returning to the bedroom, shutting the door, plugging that phone back into the wall and calling the police, he chose instead to reach up for that bag, remove the gun and return to where his son was and shot him," Wennar said.
Steven Kupferberg, Price's attorney, characterized Matthew as the aggressor in a physical struggle that began when Price asked him to leave. Matthew, who was living with his father after spending two years in jail for a sexual offense, prevented Price from calling the police and physically prevented him from leaving the apartment, even choking him at one point, Kupferberg told the jury.
"Do we leave out what happened in the 15 to 20 minutes, the half an hour leading up to [the shooting]?" Kupferberg said. "Are we supposed to forget that happened?"
Kupferberg also contested the prosecution's claim that Price intended to kill his son, arguing instead that Price had only pointed the gun at Matthew because he feared for his life and wanted to frighten his son into stepping away from the door. According to the defense, Price only fired the gun after his son lunged at him and threatened to kill him.
"Who was the aggressor when he lunged at him? ... Who testified that [Price] casually walked down the hallway and pointed the gun at Matthew?" Kupferberg said.
Price testified in his own defense Friday afternoon, supporting Kupferberg's claim that his son attacked him and the gunshot was an unplanned reaction.
"There was no thought; it was reflexive," Price said. "At this point in time I had already tried to call 911 three times, I had already tried to leave the apartment ... I had just been choked by my own son."
Price was charged with first-degree murder and the use of a handgun in a violent crime. If he is found guilty, Price could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole for the murder charge alone. The handgun offense carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and a possible maximum sentence of 20 years, according to state law.

Gallery: Miracoco is A Glowing Inflatable Labyrinth That Travels Throug...
The most recent of Architects of Air's army of luminariums, Miracoco displays how the designers have fine tuned their skills by learning from their previous projects. Designed by Alan Parkinson, a former sculptor, each is an inflatable maze of geometry, a fusion of dodecahedron domes and connecting tunnels. The designers first meticulously hand-cut sheets of PVC in their Nottingham workshop into varying angular pieces. The pieces are then fitted with zippers, inflated, and then installed with colored lights. The PVC reflects each colored light source, creating a color field of orange, red, and purple in the cavernous space. Visitors can explore the glowing tunnels, which change intensity and hue based on the outdoor weather, daylight, and even how visitors interact within the space.
Miracoco has the largest central dome that AOA has built to date, based on the Lotus Temple of India. Each voluminous structure spans around 3,280 square feet, and is 32 feet high at the highest points. A central dome branches into many tunnels, which lead to smaller rooms, as well as cozy pods made for laying back and contemplating.
The luminariums can be used to host concerts, lectures and other special events. Installed in around four hours, they pack up compactly, using little resources for shipping a structure of its size. Miracoco, which debuted in France this past July, will open on August 26th at the Aarhus Festival in Denmark, where it will remain until September 4th, 2011.

The work of Jackson Pollock, the pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, has a childlike quality that belies its stunning complexity and sophistication. Compelled to paint by his love of the medium and personal torment, Pollock attached large canvases to the floor, pouring, dripping, and flinging paint in a process that involved the body in new and important ways. Working in a stream-of-consciousness style, Pollock revolutionized a form of painting in which the work created has no identifiable parts or point of emphasis, but remains utterly open.
Reproduction print of Shimmering Substance, ca. 1946 by Jackson Pollock. Unframed.

Similar to the chemical warfare agents produced during World War II, organophosphates (OPs) are some of the most common, and most toxic insecticides used today, adversely affecting the human nervous system even at low levels of exposure.
Organophosphates & Childhood Exposure
Organophosphates and Neurological Development in Children
Research shows a range of neurodevelopmental problems associated with prenatal and early childhood exposure:
- Impaired short term memory and mental development
- Increased reaction time & abnormal reflexes
- Mental & emotional problems (adolescent exposure)
Fruits and vegetables that are commonly eaten by children, including peaches, apples, grapes, green beans, and pears, are among the foods most commonly contaminated with organophosphates. (source: WhatsOnMyFood.org)
Developing youngsters are the most susceptible to OPs. Children can be exposed to OPs through the air, food, dust and soil, and even pets. Children of farmworkers and children in agricultural areas are among the most exposed to OPs, although urban children are also at risk.
Health Effects & Toxicity
Among the most acutely toxic pesticides, most organophosphates are classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as highly or moderately toxic. They interfere with the nervous system by inhibiting an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. Under normal conditions, acetylcholinesterase controls nerve impulses--sending chemical signals to halt the nerve impulse at the appropriate time. When organophosphates impede this process, the nervous system becomes severely overstimulated, resulting in immediate neurological dysfunction.
Symptoms of acute exposure include nausea, headaches, twitching, trembling, excessive salivation and tearing, inability to breathe because of paralysis of the diaphragm, convulsions, and at higher doses, death.
Longer term, lower dose exposure to organophosphate pesticides is linked to a number of health problems:
- Developmental Effects: Organophosphates interfere with healthy neurodevelopment, leading to behavioral problems and lower cognitive function. Children exposed to OPs are more likely to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, a recent study shows.
Reproductive Effects: As endocrine disrupters, organophosphates have a significant impact on the human reproductive system. The presence of OP metabolites in the body is associated with reduced levels of testosterone and other sex hormones. Exposure to OPs may have an adverse effect on male fertility.
- Cancer: Although most OPs are not considered carcinogenic, the CDC reports that several studies link organophosphate exposure to leukemia and lymphoma. The U.S. EPA also classifies the OP diclorvos as a "probable human carcinogen."
- Parkinson's Disease: Since OPs affect the brain, it's not surprising that they have been linked to neurological disorders. Living near applications of diazinon, chlorpyrifos, dimethoate has been found to increase the risk of Parkinson's Disease.
Recent Studies:
- Prenatal and Childhood Exposure to Pesticides and Neurobehavioral Development: Review of Epidemiological Studies
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Urinary Metabolites of Organophosphate Pesticides
The Chemicals
Since the advent of chemical warfare during World War II, organophosphorous compounds have become widely available as pest-control agents. Because of their relatively low cost and ability to be applied on a wide range of target insects and crops, OPs have become the most widely used class of insecticides in the United States. Organophosphates are also among the most common active ingredients in pesticides poisonings.
OPs of primary concern include: azinphos-methyl, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dichlorvos, dimethoate, ethephon, malathion, methamidophos, naled, and oxydemeton-methyl. Detailed information on specific OP pesticides is available in Pesticide Action Network's internet database.
Monitoring Chlorpyrifos
- In a 2006 study conducted by the small California rural community of Lindsay, 12 participants documented the presence of chlorpyrifos in their bodies. Seven of the eight participating women were above the EPA established "acceptable" limit for pregnant and nursing women.
- Yakima Valley, Washington Air Monitoring Results (2006) Monitoring results revealed detectable levels of chlorpyrifos in the homes of Yakima Valley residents.
Environmental Impacts of OPs
Many metabolites (or breakdown products) of organophosphates are more toxic than the primary chemicals themselves--making them acutely lethal to sensitive species like amphibians, says a 2007 USGS study:
- Major metabolites of chlorpyrifos and malathion were 100 times more toxic than their parent compounds to frogs in California's Central Valley, where nearly 25% of the nation's organophosphate use is concentrated.
Because organophosphates share a common toxicity mechanism, exposure to several OP insecticides and their breakdown products could intensify their toxic effects. Heavy organophosphate use in California is thought to contribute to the decline of several local frog species. The National Marine Fisheries Service concluded that the use OPs threatens endangered salmon species in the Pacific Northwest.
Some organophosphates travel long distances and persist in cold climates. Researchers have detected OPs in Arctic and sub-Arctic environments:
- Ice core samples from Svalbard, Norway, revealed 5 OP compounds: chlorpyrifos, terbufos, diazinon, methyl parathion, and fenitrothion. (Current-Use and Legacy Pesticide History in the Austfonna Ice Cap, Svalbard, Norway)
- The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program 2009 Arctic Pollution reports the presence of chlorpyrifos in a number of locations: Surface water, ice, & fog from the Bering & Chukchi seas; Alaskan snow and fish from Alaskan parks; and Arctic & Subarctic Canadian lakes
Organophosphate Alternatives
A number of less-toxic alternatives to organophosphate pesticides are currently available and in use around the country and around the world. The University of California produced a special report on the use of OP alternatives in California. These alternatives include:
- Pheromones: chemicals secreted by insects for communication--to disrupt insect mating
- Cultural controls: crop rotations, manipulating planting dates, reducing of pest habitats and improving crop vigor
- Less toxic, more pest-specific alternative insecticides

Read more about the meeting in Thursday's Sandusky Register.
Perkins schools host levy informational meeting
As always, Jason, great pictures, including the ability to see the slide presentation that was given. Nice work!!!!! Was there a question and answer period from the small crowd gathered?
Nobody cares. It's not gonna pass. The majority of the taxpayers think you all are nuts for even thinking either levy would
pass. What a joke!
Something stinks here....
If you look at what the cost is for a $150,000 house it is $261.45 a year. Is that on TOP of what you normally pay in taxes already? If so....WOW.
That is a chunck of change for someone already paying the high cost of taxes in Perkins Twp. Then add on the cost of the new fire levy and a possible levy for Police? WHEW. I would vote for a police levy, but you would have to be NUTS to add an almost $300 per year addition to your taxes over 10 years to your taxes for a new school. That is a LOT of money to pay. We were looking at houses out there. Your taxes are not cheap.
Why not try and raise some money in other ways BEFORE asking for the taxpayers to pony up this kind of cash? This is excessive if you ask me....which no one did....but wow, that is a lot of cash to pay out.
Granted its $130.73 a half, but that is still a great deal of money. What about those who have houses with a higher tax ratio than $150,000 on their property. What about those who's property is worth $190 to $200,000 out there? I would hate to see what THEIR cost is going to be.
This isn't being thought through very well. I would have thought the board would have brought up ways of raising money BEFORE asking the taxpayers to assume the lions share of the cost. This just doesn't make much sense. Not at all. And they want new "digs" too? Why? Give them room in the old school building to save money. Don't take it all down. Be conservative on some of this. Why do they need anything better than that?
Nope, this isn't going to fly no matter how much honey they drop on it. No way. Not in this economy.
If renovation is started, then the entire building must be brought up to current code: all asbestos tiles removed and replaced, all outside pipes holding electrical wiring would have to be moved in side, any other items (plumbing, etc.) would have to be brought up to code. That is why the cost to build new would more sense than trying to renovate and having to fix all the other code issues.
that may be, but can all the people in Perkins afford to pay this much per year on their taxes? Really? Just wondering. I have no special interest in Perkins as I do not live there, but I was just wondering. It seems excessive at 10 years. Can they stretch this to 20 years to make it less expensive?
Dont forget the open enrollment kids. We have to pay for the new school for them, oh and all the renters.
Renters don't mean a thing....the people who own the house still pay the property tax. Didn't you know that? Renters may not pay it, but the property owners still must pay it. I don't know where people think that because a property is rented out no tax is paid, because that simply isn't true. The OWNER of that property STILL must pay it. They own it.
Open enrollment kids, their taxes come to you.
WIREDMAMA222, Guess I said that wrong that wrong, I knew the renters didnt pay tax.
Thought there would be no open enrollment?
Do you realize how much money oe kids bring to the district? Apparently not!
I didn't attend the meeting but there's no way I'm going to vote yes. They expect me to pay an extra $650/yr? Think again! We have already been forced to give up our Plum Brook CC membership in favor of Briarcrest. My family has taken steps to make the best of it, I suggest Perkins schools do the same.
My taxes are already $3,300. $275 a month! We can't sell because of the high taxes.
I want to know if the teachers get a kick back if the levy passes. Teacher's were knocking at my door and calling me all the time trying to convince me to vote for the Levy. VERY pushy, was a huge turn off.
Their kickback comes when the next collective bargaining agreement is made.
I don't get the "can't sell because of the high taxes". Perkins has the second lowest tax burden for schools in the Erie County, and the tax burden is well below the state average for school tax burden. Additionally, a majority of the property tax in Perkins is paid by commercial property owners, not residential as in most other communities. In ten years (timing of the emergency levy) the TIFF arrangement for Kalahari and Lake Crest expire at which time the district will receive the property tax dollars now being use to pay for infrastructure along 250. But, the district has to get thru the next ten years without gutting the school system and its programs.
Teachers do not get a kickback, probably the dumbest question I've heard!
Is it possible to have a vote of no confidence and remove Gunner?
I had a Perkins teacher call and ask me to support the levy. I told her I would if she gave me an extra $400 to help me pay my new taxes. That got her off the phone in a hurry! Vote no 'til Gunner goes.
The SR allows an article by Alex Kinsel that is way, way over the 300 word maximum. He lives in California which is really a beauty of a state to be giving financial advice to anyone. I just wonder where his parents happen to be employed. Could it be they are teachers? The mother making over 67,000 and the Father 82,000. Come on SR, why do the readers and bloggers almost continually have to do the Homework.
Build the new school with the walking path so the kids can walk. The roads will soon deteriorate. Let the kids arm themselves because there won't be any police to protect them on the paths but they'll have a nice new school.
SR allowed Kinsel to go over 300 I can only imagine, because they recently lost their columnist and were looking for something to fill the page. It doesn't matter that Kinsel is the son of teachers. The writing had very little to do with education or money. It was about civic responsibility.
But man, his parents sure are loaded. Loaded teachers. No wonder he's always posting pictures of boat rides online.
Just kidding. I only know him in passing (played tennis for opposite schools) but he's articulate and funny. Guessing that's why the Register went with it.
Maybe if you spent a little less time doing homework about people writing to the editor parents (which was 1 yahoo seach. 2 mins, tops) you'd have time to do the actual homework abt what's happening in your community.
This just shows local government is not the only one drinking the "raise taxes" flavored kool aid. Local school boards and government councils always find ways to squander tax dollars---always easier to spend someone elses money.
It saddens me to see so many Perkins residence agains the Perkin's School Levy. I can't believe that families are not supporting their own kids. A poor school district only leads to a poor community-including lower property values. How can people of this community attend the school events and pretend to be such proud PIRATE FANS, and then turn around and ignore the needs of the school. I attend many school events in numerous SBC schools, and I am ashamed to say that Perkins has some of the poorest facilities in the area. Perkins has many outstanding academic programs and a beautiful new stadium. Now let's bring our schools up to standards too. In the end you will all benefit from a yes vote!
You've got a lot of nerve, I'll give you that. How dare you ask the average homeowner to contribute an extra $22/month towards Gunner's folly. With that money I could feed a family of 4 dinner at Wendy's or fill up 6 gallon gas can. Maybe you have that kind of money to throw around, but kindly remove your hand from my wallet!
Does anyone remember the amount of tax collections the school appropriated from its funds for the new football stadium?
Suerat - I don't think people don't support their schools just because they are against a facilities levy. I do think they are saying the district needs to get its house in order before they ask for more money.
Hey Suerat, maybe Perkins should have thought about the schools before building that "beautiful new stadium". Priorities. Something Perkins obviously doesn't have.
I believe education is the easiest and least expensive way to improve your lot in life. I believe in personal responsibility to use the resources available provided by the community.
I don't believe bricks and mortar have significant effect on that education. If the community believes the facilities are adequate to provide students the resources needed to educate than that's it. It's the voting public's opinion not the board of education or the superintendent's.
Put it out to vote for a new building and let the chips fall as they may. Isn't that the ideals our country was founded on?
Didn't they just put it out for the people to vote on and we said no?
YOU are correct DONUTSHOPGUY.
Trustafarian is my stalker.
Perkins, I appreciate you letting my brother and I stay with you during the renovations. Bathing us and giving us nightly massages was much appreciated. Pass along my thanks to your wife for me. And thank you again for all of your fine camera work! The 8x10's & the DVD's you made were fantastic. Next time take off the leather mask and join in the fun!

Wonder how they paid for that new high school down south in Norwalk? Must be all those "rich people" that live in the "booming" Huron County economy! Stop whining about 22 dollars a month for your kids education...if that is truly going to break you, you should probably declare bankruptcy now and get it over with. Maybe skip Wendy's once a month and eat something less expensive at home.
I had to work cound not make the meeting, Anyone ask Mr Gunner why there is a new football field and not school improvments?
You know..I'm just curious.. Didn't Honeywell come in and give the schools an audit about conserving energy??? Isn't that where the windmill idea first came about??? I also thought they got a bargain of a deal to install a new high efficient boiler system at the high school.. Or did that not happen and that was the beginning of the new school ploy??
I'm just wondering whatever transpired with that energy audit..
YES THEY DID GOD OF THUNDER. bRAND NEW BOILERS AND LINES. The holes in the walls that they talk about are the old holes from the pipes they did not fill per fire code.
Funny how when folks start questioning the need for increased property taxes for school funding when obvious mistakes have been made in this instance, the "guilt police" show up with "do it for the kids".
Brick and mortar don't create good education. Good teachers and books do.
FEMA trailers and mortar you mean!
trustarian...i must say, the day you and your family left PlumBrook was the single greatest day in our club's history. thank god you left! please never come back.
I think Perkins has a real credibility problem. A large percent of the voters do not trust the school board or the superintendent. There has been too many past experiences when moving this or that tas to this and not coming clean on school issues has all tainted the leadership's ability to convince voters.
This most recent incident of school not being safe as per the Ohio School Facilities commission was just another item on the stack. It was not that they lied it was how it was presented. Maybe the SR was to blame for how they headlined it in the paper BUT the Perkins leadership did not do much to change that perspective if it was the case.
Perkins is not going to pass this levy by hook or crook with the voters. Given the township also asking for money you start combining these levies and that is a lot of money.
If they wish to pass the school levy its going to take lots of talking one on one with voters and lots of house visits/coffees etc. AND I might add that can not be by levy volunteers BUT is going to have to be by school board and superintendent presence. Its going to be lots of folks really ruffling your feathers and you staying calm and answering "HONESTLY" questions. A committment from this day forth to be open and honest with the voters and I think for that its a levy hotline manned by school board members and the superintendent. In otherwords you folks are going to have to get "one on one" with the voters to pass this levy.
sO TEL ME IF I AM WRONG, LikeI have said I had to work so could not come to the meeting. But I heard that Gunner only answered a few questions off of flash cards, he said he would answer others online posting it today, is this true? So to me he PICKED the quetions that make him look good to answer. If there is nuthing to hind, and your so sure you have to have a new school. why not have an open session.
I spent an hour and a half with Mr. Gunner explaining the moving of millage from outside to inside. I spent another hour and a half with Mr. Gunner explaining the new academy concept.
There are many logical arguments to both concepts. But, after the first meeting I had the feeling the school administration was trying to eliminate the taxpayers vote on the new school. This process is against my whole core beliefs.
People, never give up your right to vote. This is your last control of government. Yes, schools are an arm of government.
The second meeting was an overview of the new building. With the precedence set with private money being used to finance half of the athletic field shouldn't that concept be used for the other non-educational areas of the new building? The pool, gymnasium, music area , performing arts area, and stage are a few that come to mind. I'm sure if these areas were half funded with private funds it might not be as tough a pill to swallow for the taxpaying public. How about raising those funds and then come to the public with your new school proposal.
I have ask numerous members of the school administration to explain areas of both these situations. They tell me they are not sure and will get back to me. They do get back to me but I feel there is only one person who truly understands the information. It's tough to sell a game plan to the troops when your captains and lieutenants can't pass the information along.
donutshopguy - were your meetings with Gunner and the other members of the administration recent?
When the millage switch was first being discussed and when I noticed the sign at the football stadium that a new academy was "coming soon."
Thanks for your reply. I've gotten the impression that many of the pro-levy supporters wrongly have the idea that those of us who do not full throttle support the levy are not informed or educated about the issues. Some posters have said as much here by suggesting that (more or less) that if you got yourself informed and attended those meetings you'd see how these ideas are great. I've attended many meetings, asked questions, etc. and I remain unconvinced.
No one should view me as anti-education. I believe education is the best method of improving ones self in their lifetime. I believe parental involvement is the critical link.
I don't believe the process taken by the school board and administration was in the best interest of the community. Eliminating the public vote on this building project to me is un-American. Public vote on issues both local and state or federal level is critical to our country as a whole. Bureaucrats taking away public vote is a frightening slippery slope.
The community knows what is best for themselves. Not a school board and superintendent who want to control the purse strings at the exclusion of the taxpaying public.
So, what happens when the facilities are rated 92/100 (a very poor rating-one of the worst in the state), and the local taxpayers still will not support a facility levy or bond issue? Keep in mind that three different assessments have been done by at least two different entities, neither which is in a position to benefit from new construction (regardless of what others say on here). If the need is critical, is it not incumbent on the board (elected to represent the people) and the superintendent to make a decision to proceed in the interest of near term and long term students and residents?
As for the use of private funds to support portions of the building, I don't have a problem with that. But, how many negative comments were made about the naming of the stadium areas? Quite a few; so should the board proceed with private naming rights even if it's against the wishes of many local residents?
Do we support each other's services in the community, or do we only vote for our own interests? For example, why should I support EHOVE, the senior citizen levy, the Health Dept. levy, etc. I don't use those services nor will my children. I vote for them because I recognize that for a well-rounded community, there are services and organizations that need support in order to help improve the lot of other citizens.
You are worried about the wishes of many local residents in naming rights but have no problem taking away their rights to vote on a new school. You speak out of both sides of your mouth when it's to your benefit.
Spoken like a true bureaucrat. You know what is best for the community. We don't need the public's input or vote. Just pay the taxes I deem necessary.
9299 - You asked:
"So, what happens when the facilities are rated 92/100 (a very poor rating-one of the worst in the state), and the local taxpayers still will not support a facility levy or bond issue?"
I see the biggest problem with the school district as lack of genuine, trustworthy leadership. The BOE and the Superintendent seem to want to frame it as the community doesn't care about its children. This community has changed, but they aren't going to win any more yes votes by beating a drum and chanting "Perkins doesn't care about its children."
So when the state and federal governments decide to increase your tax rates to 90% your OK with that? Remember they were elected and it's incumbent of them to work for your best interest. Spoken like a true bureaucrat.

Atlantic Center for Innovative Design and Control of Small Ships (ACCeSS) Funding
In April, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) approved funding for a five-year continuation of the Atlantic Center for Innovative Design and Control of Small Ships (ACCeSS) totaling $4.5 million. ACCeSS is a consortium of academic institutions and industry partners that works closely with ONR Program Manager Kelly Cooper. Consortium partners include: Florida Atlantic University, the Naval Postgraduate School, Stevens Institute of Technology, United States Naval Academy, University College London; Lockheed Martin, AMSEC LLC, and VT Shipbuilding.
Under the guidance of Professor Richard Royce, Webb students have actively participated in ACCeSS related research since 2004. Generally, students work on ACCeSS projects during either winter work or senior thesis. Students participate in periodic reviews and give presentations on their research efforts. This award is intended to fund research related to unmanned surface vessels, trimaran performance, and educational exchange. ACCeSS has been extremely successful in fostering collaboration between member institutions. Specifically, Professor Royce has performed research at UCL and participated on PhD dissertations at Stevens Institute. Webb's portion of the funding will total $372,000 over the five-year period.

Faster training leads to faster races.
Our bodies are stubborn machines, and sadly, we sometimes have to trick them in order to train effectively. This is why TYR created the EBP Burner Fin. Essentially, these fins allow you to easily train at a race cadence, making it easier to find your perfect stroke form. Additionally, the EBP makes it possible to remain in your higher heart rate zones for longer periods of time, furthering your conditioning without making your form suffer. And as a slightly more unexpected benefit, TYR claims that the short cadence kicks from the fins actually develop fast twitch muscle fibers. So, your reaction time is accelerated as a result.
The TYR EBP Burner Fin is available in seven sizes from XXX-Small to X-Large and in the colors Blue, Green, Light Blue, Orange, Purple, Red, and Yellow.

Well, I started training at the pool again, and it was about time to get another pair of fins to start working my legs out.
I got this a few weeks ago and so far I think they are really good. The feel good wuality and expect them to last a lot.

- We invest in sustainable practices that increase energy efficiency and water conservation.
- We commit ourselves to measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
- We promote recycling and waste reduction at all our properties.
CodeGreen: Caesars' Environmental Sustainability Strategy
CodeGreen is our organization-wide, multi-year strategy to identify, monitor, measure, assess, manage and reduce our material impacts on the environment. This consistent, structured, data-driven and disciplined environmental program leverages the passion of our employees, as well as engages our guests and suppliers. Since the start of our CodeGreen environmental sustainability strategy seven years ago, we have made great strides in improving our environmental impacts across a range of multi-year targets.
Driven by Data
CodeGreen environmental data is collected by property, collated monthly, and reported to all property managers and company management. At the property level, managers review results with their teams and prioritize actions to improve performance. There is more than a little competitive spirit between properties, so in addition to a commitment to efficient operations and a passion for protecting the environment, property managers are encouraged to challenge their peers to do better. This works well: the CodeGreen Scorecard is well-publicized with the company, with the leading and laggard properties clearly identified, forming the basis for action planning.
"Caesars Entertainment has made great strides in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their commitment to reducing carbon pollution demonstrates that efforts to address climate change are repaid by saving money and energy, while supporting more livable and resilient communities, and a healthier, better protected environment."

"Being green is our job. We foster a human ecological environment here on a daily basis, so our students, and all of us, learn from what we have and from what we do." Millard Dority | Director of Campus Planning, Buildings and Public Safety
College of the Atlantic was founded by individuals deeply concerned with sustaining the natural world. These founding trustees believed there was a longing among students and faculty to focus their studies of everything from physics to public policy to poetry on understanding the relationships between humans and our environment. Sustainability on campus and in the world have always been at the heart of the COA mission.
From the founding of COA in 1969, we were the first college to offer a degree in Human Ecology and the only college to offer Human Ecology, as its one and only degree. COA was the first college in Maine, and one of the first in the nation, to embrace the quest to protect and improve the environment as its organizing theme.
During our first year of classes, 1972-1973, lobbying efforts of students in the Consumer Protection and the Law class were recognized as key to passage of Maine's returnable beverage container bill in the 1973-74 special session of the Maine Legislature. This bill was passed despite heavy lobbying against the bill by the well-financed beverage industry.
Three decades later, COA continues to work towards sustainability on campus and in the world:
- In 2005, COA became the first campus to hold a zero waste graduation.
- In 2005, COA hired a director of sustainability to ensure a sustainable future in all our activities.
- In 2006, COA became the first college or university to declare itself net-zero for carbon emissions.
- In 2007, COA signed a three-year contract for 100% renewable electricity from the Worumbo Project hydropower plant on the Androscoggin River in Lisbon Falls, Maine. This saves COA the 400 tons of carbon it emits via electricity.
- In 2007, COA was deemed the greenest of all colleges and universities in the world by Grist.com.
- In 2008, COA opened state-of-the-art sustainable dorms. The Kathryn W. Davis Student Residence Village employs biomass pellet heating for hot water and in-floor radiant heating, maximized solar energy siting, super-insulated and ceilings using recycled materials, and frequent thermal breaks to eliminate heat loss. Within the buildings, available light is maximized to reduce electricity use and the gray water from showers is recycled to preheat water going into the hot water system. Similarly, an energy recovery central ventilation unit preheats fresh air coming into the building during the heating season-to name just a few of the residences' green innovations.

Computer science student
Hey everyone, I am going into the computer science degree option at my school. I was wandering if there is a tablet available that will allow computer programming? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
Any computer will be fine. Focus on RAM and a good processor. Get a decent sized hard drive so you can install the software you will be working with. Put VM Player on it so you can try different OSs.
Invest in an external hard drive to move VMs and other work around.

A tablet would probably only substantially help you in writing code on a lightweight text editor while on the go then uploading it to an online server through FTP or whatever method you use. (Thats for Web Development).
As for college courses, you'll mostly be introduced using Java, C++ , Python or any other languages depending on your college. You cannot compile into native code (e.g for C++) using a tablets as far as I know. You should probably invest in a Laptop (for portablity) with enough RAM and processsing for a local server such as Apache(for web Developement) and VM's as suggested above and off course power conservative/long-lasting battery.

As the others have indicated, a laptop might be your best bet.
If you're still interested in a tablet, you may want to check out the Microsoft Surface Pro, or any of the Windows 8 transformer-books (tablet/laptop combos).
Unless otherwise stated, any code posted is most likely untested and may contain syntax errors.
