Stayed here while cutting thru the state. HORRIBLE! Air Cond....Sucked. Found what looked to be blood on light panel. Bathroom dirty. NO TOILET PAPER! Had to go ask for it! Something on head board and velvet blanket......yes I'm guessing it was, YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. Breakfast.....FOGitABouTIT! Coffee pot NOT CLEANED!
It's not the Ritz but for the cost it's a decent bed and it's clean. The motel is old but you can tell the owners try to keep it up and do clean it very well. It's in a good location and we felt safe. I'd recommend it, just don't expect a lot of amenities.

The Scottish Inns—which is a really misleading name, considering there's nothing Scottish about this place—is right off of I-75, making access to the expressway simple and convenient.

Highlights from the 36th Annual CJHA Bonanza and from the CHA Annual General Meeting
The 36th Annual Canadian Junior Hereford Association Bonanza was held in Fredericton, New Brunswick, July 28th to August 1st, at the Fredericton Exhibition Grounds. Organizers of Bonanza 2015 included Victor and Nova Dawn Oulton, Dale and Lisa Black and several CHA and CJHA members and volunteers. The organizers put together a fantastic show with its own Maritime flair, including a traditional lobster supper, courtesy of AXA Polled Herefords.
The theme - "Living the Hereford Dream" - captures the experience of attending Bonanza as a junior, making lasting memories and creating opportunities for juniors to establish their own Hereford dreams. This year's Bonanza featured 110 head of cattle and 86 juniors who demonstrated that the future of the breed is in capable hands.
We look forward to Bonanza 2016, which will be held in Olds, Alberta August 9th to 13th, 2016 at the Olds Exhibition Grounds.
The CJHA held their executive elections and we welcome Cassandra Gorril, from ON, who was elected 2015/2016 President, Wyatt Olton from NS, Vice President, re-elected Samatha Rimke from MB, Secretary, and Allison Mastine of PQ, Communications Coordinator.
We extend thank you and appreciation for their time and dedication to the CJHA 2014/2015 outgoing executive council Larrisa Lupul of Alberta, President, Allison Mastine of PQ, Vice President and Heather Fisher-LeBlanc of BC.
In conjunction with Bonanza, the Canadian Hereford Association hosted its Annual Meeting on Friday, July 31. The CHA Board of Directors held elections for the executive and Re-Elected Daryl Kirton as President from Abbotsford, BC and Re-Elected Doug Mann as Vice President from Swift Current, SK. Starting January 1, 2016, Nels Nixdorff, Airdrie, AB, will hold the position of Chairman of the Pedigree Committee when Andy Schuepbach of Claresholm, AB will step down from the CHA Board of Directors.
The CHA board also welcomes, Leon Silk of Grafton, ON who replaces the late Burt Grundy, Blaine Brost of Irvine, AB who replaced Doug Finseth of Okotoks, AB and Phillip Thorne of Glenvale, NB who replaces Andy Carter of Amherst, NS. Thank you to Doug and Andy for your time and dedication to the CHA board and membership.
KGF Heifer Fundraising Auction Results and Thank You
The Keith Gilmore Foundation (KGF) held a very successful fundraiser auction during the banquet at the closing ceremonies of the 2015 CJHA Bonanza. On auction was a heifer calf, OLTN 90X COVER GIRL 8C, donated by Victor and Novadawn Oulton of Outon's Farm, Nova Scotia and two lots of embryo's, REMITALL NADINE 3S x NJW FHF 9710 TANK 45P, donated by Allan Marshall, AXA Farms of New Brunswick. The heifer calf brought in $5,000 and sold to Jeff and Debbie Paul of British Columbia. The embryo lots both sold for $900 to NCX Polled Herefords of Alberta and Peter Bekker of Nova Scotia. Money raised will support the Hereford Youth Fund which any current or past member of CJHA or student having a connection to the Hereford breed demonstrated through a letter of recommendation from an active member of the Canadian Hereford Association, and be registered for ongoing studies in an undergraduate program at a college or university (entering into the second, third or fourth year at the time of receiving the award) in any program leading to a career in the livestock industry. Thank you to all participated, your support is greatly appreciated.

RE: [NH] auto play web pages from CD - DVD
Expand Messages
- I use a program called "Make CDRom" for menus (which includes an autorun
file) and use the Inno setup compiler to create install routines but you can
also use a Shellexe option such as @ http://www.WhirlyWiryWeb.com
Lots of options... Google "autorun HTML" gets a ton of options too
(the CDs we ship are basically a mirror of our website - this has been a
simple and inexpensive solution for us as a non-profit org.)

Anyone have any info on auto play as it pertains to web pages. I would like
to copy a site to a CD and have it auto start when the CD is
found by the OS.
Same need for DVD.
What about menus for CD and or DVDs? Never been in the territory before so
I am clueless.

- If you have a file called autorun.ini on the CD, it controls what
program starts when the CD is inserted.
Use the default path to Internet Explorer, or just us the name of the IE
Executable, and tell it what file to start with. That is, use the proper
command line usage to open a web page in IE.
There is also a CD based version of FireFox that might do the trick. I
have not used it, but it may do what you want.

- Hi
autorun is the way it is free ,once you set it running straight html does
the rest ,set it to use Internet Explorer as Larry has said and if you want
to save the site use save as .mht
,IE7 does this not sure about IE6 ,as you save each page to mht you will end
with one file per page no folders ,mht saves the images in the page but you
will have to set up the links ??

that's fine. But...
...remember that there are *other* problems involved in running HTML
from a disk. Even if the autorun feature does not work for some reason
(for instance, running the CD in a non-Windows machine), I suppose you
would like for the user to be able to click in the main HTML file and
work from there, am I right?
Well, there are some pitfalls in that.
1. MHTML (.MHT) files: bad idea. Although it's a published standard,
it's not widely supported. AFAIK, only IE and recent beta builds of
Opera support it. There is an extension for Firefox, but you can't count
on the user having it. Bottom line: you can't count on the user being
able to open it.
2. Centralized resource folders (like having just one CSS file on the
drive root, or a folder for images). Possible but troublesome. The main
reason being that there is no standard way to refer to the root of the
*DRIVE* in the standard HTML/CSS syntax. You can refer to the root of
the filesystem (a slippery concept depending on the OS your user has),
or you can refer to a specific drive (like C: or D:), but there's no
standard way to refer to anything equivalent to the DOS/Windows syntax
as \images\button.gif. The way IE does it is nonstandard, and not
supported by Firefox, for instance.
The workaround is to NEVER use absolute paths. Use relative paths, or
put the auxiliary (images, CSS and such) files right there in the same
folder (which is usually bad practice, by the way), or put the styles
inside the HTML (roughly equivalent to the former). The main trouble
with relative paths, of course, is that if you move an HTML file to a
different folder level, you have to remember to correct the paths.
3. Nonstandard HTML can make your disk break badly. Same rules apply
than for coding for the Web, roughly -- but remember that you won't be
able to patch it after you burn the disc. So, be keen on the "best
practices" -- standard HTML, no proprietary crap, validate everything,
and test, test, test, test. If possible, test on Linux and Mac, with
Safari, KDE, Opera, Firefox and IE.

Nearly all of SNS Herning's stuff say virgin wool/ pure new wool on the label, but some say merino instead - I don't know if that means they sometimes use recycled wool in the lighter summer pieces, or if they just consider the soft merino characteristics to be more significant.
Tried this piece on yesterday at NittyGritty in Stockholm.
The purple melange mix really looks amazing in person. Even has a bit of green (I think) in it. The knit is very thick and warm with great construction, as expected.
I own the Stark in M and on of those really slim knits in L from SNS (which is now too small for me) and I tried on a size L in this piece. I'm 6'3", 175 lbs with a 41 chest and 18.5 shoulders and usually wear a large. The fit is TTS with a dropped shoulder, as seen in the pic. Looked great with just enough space in the body and regular length. I like the look of a dropped shoulder and don't mind my knits to be a bit oversized. If that's not your thing, I would advise you to try this on before purchasing. If I would size it to fit right in the shoulders, it would def be too tight in the chest.
The tighter sweater mighft have been the Port. It has a bubbly knit texture with a stripe going across the chest and arms (same color). Well yeah, ironically this one time I did cold wash it and it came out a bit tighter. I've grown 2" in my chest since I bought it though and it is pretty damn slim for a size L. Think it measures 20" p-p while it is 27" or so long.

I got one by accident that I returned right away (Boylston accidentally sent me a navy ideal hoodie instead of the navy ideal pullover) but I tried it on and its relatively lightweight and fits pretty slim and shorter than I some of the other SNS pieces... the mr porter pics are pretty accurate fit-wise- http://www.mrporter.com/product/185524 Also, it does not have pockets.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Topic: Shrubs
Title: Identification of poisonous shrub native to Michigan
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:This is found throughout the northern portion of the LP and in the UP. It grows to 3' as a shrub. It's leaves twigs and flowers ARE POISONOUS! It blooms in the Spring and can be found in the sun and in bogs, as well as a few other locations. This plant is native to Michigan. I can not identify it.
You haven't given Mr. Smarty Plants much to go on except that it is a shrub that is poisonous and is native to Michigan. However, here are a few possibilities:
Kalmia angustifolia (sheep laurel)
Cicuta maculata (spotted water hemlock)
Baptisia alba (white wild indigo)
Datura wrightii (sacred thorn-apple)
Dirca palustris (eastern leatherwood) and here are photos and more information
Andromeda polifolia (bog rosemary)
Rhamnus alnifolia (alderleaf buckthorn) and here are photos and more information
Viburnum opulus var. americanum (American cranberrybush)
The plants above are native to Michigan and are all listed on one or more of the following toxic plant databases:
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina Database, Cornell University Plants Poisonous to Livestock, and Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System.
You can see a list of Michigan shrubs that would potentially grow in bogs by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH in our Native Plant Database and choosing 'Michigan' from Select State or Province, 'Shrub' from Habit (general appearance), and 'Wet - soil is saturated with water' from Soil moisture.
If none of these are the plant you are trying to identify, please take photos and send them to us and we will do our very best to identify it. Please visit Mr. Smary Plants' Plant Identification page for instructions for submitting photos.
Here are photos from our Image Gallery of some of the plants above:

when first approaching the venue there are 3 entrances the one you need to go through is the one on the very left. it was 20$ for us to enter unless you have a wristband (we did not have one, and i dont know where you could find one). inside there is a cafe area and then if you continue walking there is an outside patio-ish area with louge like beds and sand! a very relaxing venue if you walk in there is also a dance area and a bar. Very nice set up we went here our last night in south beach. it was perfect bc we couldnt all out party since the flight was early next day so a laid back party scene was perfect. i would def return to this place!

The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
The Duke of Lancaster was a railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is currently beached near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, north-east Wales. The Lancaster was sold to Liverpool based company Empirewise Ltd, who intended her to be used as a static leisure centre and market. She arrived at her new home at Llanerch-y-Mor, near Mostyn, on 10 August 1979. The ship was brought into a permanent dock and the hull was sealed not in concrete, as is commonly thought, but surrounded by a large tonnage of sand pulled out of the Dee estuary. Known as The Fun Ship, it was also possible to visit her bridge and engine room. Conversion for use as a 300-room hotel did not appear to go beyond the preliminary planning...

Advising for Spring
by gwilson on Nov.06, 2012, under Program
As a microbiologist, it is easy to look at the image of Gram negative rods at left and see uniformity in shape, metabolism, and genetics. Each cell like the other. I think sometimes, particularly at big schools where majors are as plentiful as the bacteria in the micrograph, students can encounter faculty who see their students in the same way. Major, classification, ID number, career goal. It can be easy to miss the uniqueness of each individual and their journey to graduation from college.
I mention this because it is hard to believe the fall semester is so far gone that it is time to start looking to January. This week marks the advising period before spring registration begins on Monday. Students are meeting with advisors, looking at short term and long term scheduling of courses, and seeing the conclusion of their college careers begin to take shape.
I am back on campus for this event, taking a temporary break from my sabbatical to allow me to spend time with my advisees. Like most faculty, advising consists of two separate but equally important facets: what does the total four-year degree package and career goal look like, and how can the next semester best contribute to that plan. In the past few days, I've met with a good portion of my advisees and our conversations included the following:
- A sophomore student working to graduate in three years (MANY BIMS majors finish in 3-3.5 yrs) and trying to get some key courses taken this spring to help prepare her for the MCAT in May. Human Physiology or Microbiology? ( Because of courses she has taken and emphasis in the MCAT, we decided on Human Phys).
- Another sophomore student planning on the 3.5 yr plan and trying to best schedule courses this spring to enable management of biochemistry, molecular biology, physics, and other science courses next year. Can we squeeze in a minor in Spanish and the two semesters of Human A&P as electives. (Depends on whether you want a Biochem minor and Immunology).
- Three junior students all planning on writing Honors Theses next spring and interested in how to position themselves to complete their research and all other Honors requirements before this time next year. (It is possible if literature search begins this spring and research begins this summer. And one expectation I have for Honors students is that they submit their work for publication in addition to writing their Honors Thesis).
- A freshman transfer student eager to find ways to maximize the contributions of credit already earned elsewhere toward completion of her BIMS degree, all the while looking at how to best prepare for PA school. (We will have to petition for a course substitution to keep her on course).
- Another student whose road to teacher certification in the sciences is being charted, using courses transferred from junior college. Our goal is to take her unconventional course selection and timing and translate it into student teaching next fall. (Depends on whether she can get four Education courses completed this spring and summer).
In each of these situations, unique personalities, skill sets, career goals, and personal journeys have contributed to tailored and intentional advising. McMurry is not a place where students are shoved into a cookie-cutter plan for their degree and left to fend for themselves. We see advising as a cooperative effort between student and faculty to accomplish the goal. It is one of our greatest teaching/service accomplishments, as we look at the person and imagine and vision how best to help dream become reality.
I am honored and blessed to work with other faculty who are as intentional in their dedication to personalized student success as I am, and who routinely go beyond adequate to be excellent in their contributions to student achievement and success. I fully expect that from this group will come at least three doctors, two PAs, a graduate student in a biomedical science, and an exceptional middle school science teacher. After all, that is what we are working toward.
Programs Worth Keeping
by gwilson on Oct.19, 2012, under Program
I've heard it said that the best way to become immortal is to become an academic program. Once instituted, they can never be eliminated – the politics become too heated to consider such a fate, no matter the common sense of such a decision. I think that is one of the great weaknesses of academic institutions – the tendency to let history and tradition interfere with market realities and the needs for the future. We should spend more time listening to the futurists who tell us the most sought-after jobs of the next 20 years (the sweet spot of our graduates' careers) are not even on our radar screen today. How can old programs focused on old job descriptions and unaware of any of this possibly be preparing students to be agile and versatile graduates?
But we may be entering a time where dropping ineffective academic programs will be more common. The backlash against rising tuition costs and student debt, and the decreased funding for higher education from state and federal sources will cause many institutions to ask which programs are worth paying for and which can be eliminated to make limited bucks go farther. We are already seeing many colleges and universities scaling back on the programs they offer, and the trend is bound to only grow! How can we make our programs those that are "worth keeping" in an atmosphere of cuts and reductions?
I have some ideas on what we should be doing to shape our programs to be programs worth keeping, should our institutions ever find themselves in the position to need to rethink their programs. So here are some qualities I believe are central to programs worth keeping…
1. Programs worth keeping can attract students. It makes no sense for a college to deliver a major nobody wants. Go into any store in town and ask to purchase a slide rule or a 5.25″ floppy disk. Those were hot items at one time. That time is long gone. Are you clinging to what was important to you instead of what is important to potential students? Our programs have to offer relevant programs of obvious value to the student or they will not attract students. How can a college justify keeping a program with more faculty than majors? So why not look at what futurists say about where job growth is headed and realize the importance of preparing our students to enter one of these fields? Talk to Admissions Counselors to see what programs high-schoolers are asking about? Consider modifying their programs to attract new students? And a program better be good at selling its value! Any program that cannot drum up excitement in prospective students will soon snuff out whatever excitement they brought to campus as freshmen. Good programs have a product with value and they know how to build enthusiasm for potential (and current) customers. Programs that are expendable don't get this point. If you are the rare individual who happens to wander into their "store" wanting their rare and unpopular product, they will serve you (who initiates the actions here?). But these programs are not centering their time and energy on the future and promotion of their products! Want to know why BIMS is one of the programs recruiting the most freshmen every year? It is because we shaped our program to focus on the sweet-spot of future job growth and thus have something to sell that has value. And we sell an approach to education that is refreshing and new and proven to be successful.
2. Programs worth keeping take risks. Show me any successful person and I will show you someone who has taken a risk and succeeded. If you ask them, they will also tell you there were plenty of setbacks along the way. Perseverance and learning from mistakes turns risk into a growth opportunity leading to success. Too often, faculty will tell students there is one right way of doing things and penalize them for finding another route to the same end. That is just plain foolish. Nobody makes a new discovery by following the same tried and true paths. The two most important words for success are, "What if…" We should encourage our students to "boldly go where no man has gone before…" Don't just tolerate risk – encourage it! Let them take risks in the safety of our labs under our supervision. They take ownership, find pride in the results, and occasionally make a discovery that proves to be more important than they could have guessed. This is a foundational reason we do open-ended research in our normal BIMS classes. We are cultivating an environment for risk-taking, where it is rewarded instead of being punished. Contrast this attitude to one where those students thinking "outside the box" or taking a bit longer to master a concept are summarily dismissed as "not being suited to a career in science". Which program is more likely to cultivate a generation of world-changers?
3. Programs worth keeping can demonstrate success. I think a lot of programs are more "Wizard of Oz" than anything else. Lots of animation and smoke and mirrors – plenty of activity with very little substance to show for their work. At the end of the day, what has a program accomplished? Are graduates more likely to pursue and be successful in graduate programs or professional schools or discipline-related employment? Or do they abandon science? Ask faculty teaching undergraduates at many colleges around the country where there graduates are, and more than likely they can point to the success of a handful of their stars. They tend to equate the success of a few with the success of the program. At McMurry, our BIMS program can tell you where every BIMS graduate has gone and is doing. Granted, the number is small for the young program. But we know the importance in tracking every graduate, using feedback to help shape and improve our major. So far, our graduates have entered medical school, physician's assistant programs, and graduate programs, or they are in the application process to do so. The success we have seen (and can relate to anyone interested) proves this program is more than satisfying its purpose of preparing graduates for lives in the biomedical sciences. Programs not interested in such work or unwilling to expend the effort will have a hard time proving the quality of their effort. And it makes one wonder whether they are programs worth keeping.
4. Programs worth keeping teach the process of using skills of the major to accomplish something. It was interesting to hear from a researcher friend at a professional school of his experience hiring a technician for his lab. He said he had applicants with high gpas and degrees from major universities who looked great on paper but who couldn't do anything in the lab. Knowledge level was high, but skills level was nonexistent. Why? Too many programs believe filling a head with facts equates to readying someone for the workforce. At McMurry, we want our graduates to be able to tell their prospective bosses (or graduate advisors or professional school admissions committees) what they can DO as well as what they know. Ever sequence a gene? Yes, as part of my senior capstone project. (vs. No, but I know the theory behind the process). Ever do a Western blot? Yes, as part of my senior capstone project. (vs. We did it once during my Molecular Biology lab). Our students should know both theory and practice; not just theory. Want evidence? Take a look at their senior capstone presentation! How does your program stack up in this way?
5. Programs worth keeping establish a master-apprentice relationship. Finally, we believe it is important to build a professional working relationship with every student in the BIMS program. That is why a senior capstone project is required of each student. Often, we find that there are students who did not distinguish themselves as outstanding in traditional courses but who are found by their faculty mentor to have exceptional instinct and aptitude for research. This would have gone undiscovered if not for the capstone research with faculty. Big schools will sometimes encourage their selected star students to work as technicians in their research labs – supervised by graduate students or post-docs. We don't have graduate students or post-docs, so we have the great pleasure of allowing our students to step up into those roles for a deeper and more complete involvement in a research project. Our students are research designers, hands-on technicians, data analyzers, and project presenters all rolled into one. They experience all facets of research from thought expressed on whiteboard to poster presented at scientific meeting. Every step is modeled and overseen by a faculty supervisor teaching those lessons not found in any textbook. Hard to argue that this is not a better research experience! We hear often from graduates in professional school or grad school that their classmates from other colleges are intimidated by faculty and have difficulty approaching them when troubles arise. Not our students, who understand what it means to have a healthy, respectful, and productive professional relationship with faculty. Such extraordinary experiences make these programs worth keeping – more value-added time is spent shaping students for future success than is commonly encountered. Campus programs that do not follow this path and prepare students in this way seem to be short-changing their students.
And so there you have it. Five qualities that lead to programs worth keeping. May your programs grow to adopt them!
Our Guiding Principles – Part 5
by gwilson on Jul.31, 2012, under Program
I have a friend who as a graduate student invested five years into a research project in immunology. She walked into a meeting with her dissertation committee one summer thinking it was the last briefing on her work before defending for her doctorate, and left the room with a non-thesis masters. Something in her project had gone terribly wrong in the eyes of the committee and five years of work and promise ended up worthless in the end for an unsuspecting graduate student. She was a determined student and started over in another program and in about four more years received her doctorate. What a horror story!
Our fifth guiding principle is "choose projects with a high probability of success". We do not believe in placing students in situations where the outcome of their capstone work could leave them with nothing to show for the semester. There are two ways we do this. First, we do not allow students to enter into research where the results are a huge gamble – "win big or go home" is not our idea of sound research…at least not with a student's first self-designed project conducted in their last year of college as a requirement for graduation. For this reason, we seldom allow students to start with a blank piece of paper for their design. Student-conceived project ideas tend to be too grandiose and risk-laden to be practical under our timeline. Remember our other guiding principles: "Keep it simple, keep it short!", and "Just because we can, doesn't mean we should!" So, we talk with the student and try to steer them into projects where the basic infrastructure and literature base and track record for results are clearly established on our campus. Then we talk about what is known in the literature and what is not known, allowing the student to carve out a short, simple project that is meaningful (has unknown outcomes and thus represents real research). So, you might say the project is student chosen from within departmental imposed parameters.
The second way we help students build a project with a high probability of success is through careful attention to experimental design. We pride ourselves on helping students design projects that maximize results while minimizing work and time. We want students to complete their planned experiments, conduct follow-up experiments, and produce their research paper or poster quickly. That can only happen in this way. So, we make sure that the first experiment (the initial planned work by the student) provides data that is unique and useful whatever the outcome. Experiments that either work or don't work are not considered (the suggestion from that is either success or failure is the only result possible). Instead, experiments are designed with the follow-up experiment in mind – if it turns out this way, we'll do this…but if it turns out that way, we'll do that. By taking this approach, we teach students the importance of not just designing an experiment, but planning a project.
In the coming months, take a look at our webpage where the results of student capstone projects will be posted. It is called "The Lab Report". (http://blogs.mcm.edu/thelabreport/)

For most of the season's first four months, outfielder Mark Trumbo was the Angels' most consistent offensive producer. But the young slugger has slipped into a deep slump recently. With an 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 win over the Mariners, Trumbo has just six hits in his past 43 at-bats and is batting .200 (16-for-80) over 21 games since July 18. The slump has dragged Trumbo's batting average for the season from .311 down to .288. But Trumbo says he considers batting average of only secondary importance. His job is to drive the ball and drive in runs -- he has done neither of those as well recently. He has just three extra-base hits (all home runs) and eight RBI in his past 21 games. His slugging percentage has gone from .634 and first in the American League on July 17 down to .568 (fifth). "I normally go through these stretches where I just lose the feel for the barrel for a time," Trumbo said. "There hasn't been a season where I haven't experienced a 1-for-20 (slum...

Alan Balutis says there are still vehicles available to carry IT overhaul measures across the legislative finish line.
According to media reports, the House GOP leadership is pressing to complete a "Big Four" list of issues before the upcoming August recess: a vote on the supplemental request to deal with the influx of unaccompanied minors across our border; reform of the embattled Department of Veterans Affairs; reauthorization of the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act; and passage of a short-term continuing resolution to keep government funded and operating at current levels into the new fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.
Notice what's not on this list? That's right: Any mention of acquisition or IT reform. But there may yet be a glimmer of hope.
To date, the House has passed seven of the 12 annual appropriations bills. The House has also passed versions of the Federal IT Procurement Reform Act (FITARA) -- twice, in fact.
The Democratic-led Senate, meanwhile, has not passed a single appropriations bill -- though that count is a tad misleading. The Senate Appropriations subcommittees have completed action on and voted out a number of funding measures. The Senate leadership, however, has not brought them to a floor vote for fear that Republicans will attach amendments (e.g., EPA regulation of coal emissions) that will either draw enough Democratic votes to pass or put Democratic senators up for re-election in difficult positions with their constituents.
Still, legislators in both parties and both chambers agree that a stopgap spending bill must happen -- and what provides the raw materials for crafting a CR? The funding levels agreed to last year are critical, of course, but it also helps to have pre-existing legislative vehicles -- bills that have previously passed floor votes or have emerged with strong majorities from committee. Most of us are quite familiar with what is in FITARA, which could qualify. But we should also take a hard look at what is in the Senate's fiscal 2015 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill and draft report.
There are several provisions in the bill and draft report to improve how the federal government purchases and uses information technology, including funding for Office of Management and Budget efforts to improve use of IT tools to maximize government effectiveness. Here are some other IT reform highlights:
It's too early to tell, of course, exactly what legislation might move as part of the CR. But must-pass funding bills have advanced IT reform before, and it's worth watching this year as well.

In the newest Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, feds show they're feeling better than they have over the past few years – but there's still room for improvement, especially in mission-critical IT.

As Steve Kelman returns from a summer of aggressive medical treatment, he considers the all-too-common aversion to short-term sacrifices.
Massive open online courses can offer specialized IT instruction on a flexible schedule and on the cheap. That may not always mesh with government's preference for structure and certification, however.
"The Senate leadership, however, has not brought them to a floor vote for fear that Republicans will attach amendments (e.g., EPA regulation of coal emissions) that will either draw enough Democratic votes to pass or put Democratic senators up for re-election in difficult positions with their constituents. " Wow political games at its most devious. Won't bring to floor vote for fear there might be enough democrat defectors to pass it. Is that not the will of the people when a majority of their representatives want something? I am sick of this Senate thwarting the people of this country. Also, after the president's grandstanding about how poorly the IT community performed on HealthCare.gov, he didn't offer any money to make things right. Can't make changes without money folks. It has never and will never happen. Where did all the money go (don't give me this "wars" crap)? Maybe the 2009 $787B democrat spending bill for "shovel ready projects" and infrastructure upgrades should have peeled off a few $B for IT modernization. Where did that money go and is there any left.

Measurement challenges and other practical concerns when studying massively obese individuals.
ABSTRACT To describe the measurement challenges faced and to evaluate the measurement quality obtained with massively obese individuals.
A cross-sectional analysis of 107 individuals with body mass indices (kg/m2) > or = 50 was conducted. Individuals had their body fat measured via bioimpedance analysis (BIA), their serum leptin levels measured via radioimmunoassay (RIA), and height and weight measured via both laboratory scales and self-report.
Serum leptin appeared to be measured accurately, provided the serum was diluted prior to conducting the RIA. Difficulties remained, however, in evaluating what was an unusual or expected value of leptin among individuals this large. Measures of impedance appeared to provide reasonable ordinal indications of body fatness. However, currently available equations for converting measures of impedance to estimates of percent body fat were highly inaccurate. Self-reported height and weight were reasonably good proxies of measured height and weight among individuals who reported their height and weight. However, a substantial proportion were unable to provide estimates.
The above results suggest there are substantial challenges when trying to obtain meaningful measurements regarding obesity-related variables among massively obese individuals. Other logistic challenges also are discussed. It is hoped future research is directed at overcoming some of these challenges.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of obesity and severe obesity continues to increase in the developed world. Apart from obesity's strong association with a variety of health conditions, severely obese individuals (i.e. > or = 300 lb [136 kg]) sometimes have difficulty with ambulation, and often cannot use regular sized clothes, furniture, and assistive devices such as walkers and wheelchairs. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between linear body measurements (anthropometry) and weight in severely obese people in order to generate equations to predict such measurements from weight alone. Various body size measurements were obtained from three independent data sets (74 severely obese individuals evaluated at the New York Obesity Research Center, 103 severely obese individuals who participated in the National Center for Health Statistics' National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, and a further 90 severely obese individuals evaluated at the New York Obesity Research Center). Linear regression analyses revealed that for each increase of 10 kg (22.04 lb) above 136 kg (300 lb), body diameter measurements increase by 0.9-1.1 cm. These analyses provide body size-to-weight estimates that may help manufacturers develop products and services that are more appropriate for increasing numbers of severely obese individuals.Ergonomics 01/2002; 45(1):49-60.

Article: Adipose tissue gene expression in patients with a loss of function mutation in the leptin receptor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to maintain body weight regulation, leptin directly or indirectly signals nutritional changes to key organs, but little is known about its target genes in human adipose tissue. Leptin receptor loss of function is a unique way to explore the role of leptin in the regulation of adipose tissue. We studied the consequences of the absence of leptin signaling on adipocyte gene expression in two girls with a mutation in the leptin receptor. The expression levels of the ob gene and adipocyte transcription factors (SREBP1c, C/EPBalpha, beta, PPARgamma1, gamma2) were quantified by RT-PCR in subcutaneous adipose tissue of these patients and of 10 morbidly obese women. Ob mRNA levels in subjects lacking the leptin receptor were not overexpressed but were in the range that could be expected from their BMI (58 and 26 amol/ micro g total mRNA, range in obese women: 26-69). Expression of the five transcription factors was also in the same range in the affected patients and in morbidly obese women (7.7 and 6.8 amol/ micro g total mRNA, range: 2.2-9.4 for SREBP1c, 159 and 51 range: 51-406 for C/EPBalpha, 6.1 and 3.3 range: 2.4-24.8 for C/EPBbeta, 16.7 and 27.4 range: 9.4-29.7 for PPARgamma1 and 1.7 and 5.4 amol/ micro g total mRNA range: 1.7-8.8 for PPARgamma2). Significant correlation was found between the mRNA levels of leptin and PPARgamma2 and leptin and C/EBPalpha whereas no correlation was observed between leptin and SREBP1c, PPARgamma1, or C/EBPbeta mRNA levels. In patients lacking leptin signaling, the fact that ob gene expression is adequately adapted to their body fat mass argues against a direct negative feedback loop in the regulation of leptin expression in humans. The normal expression of several transcription factors, known to be dependent of the nutritional status, suggests that leptin is not a major contributor of their in vivo transcriptional regulation in human adipose tissue.International Journal of Obesity 01/2003; 26(12):1533-8.

ABSTRACT: Severe obesity is accompanied by large increases in fat mass and alterations in the composition of fat free mass, in particular total body water and its extracellular compartment. The physical size limitations imposed by severe obesity, and variations in body composition from that of normal weight, pose tremendous challenges to the measurement of body composition. This review focuses on some of the methodological and practical issues associated with the use of common body composition methods, and identifies available published information on feasible methods for use in the severely obese. There is little published research regarding what body composition methods can be used with confidence in the severely obese populations. A simple three-compartment model combining measurements of body density by air displacement plethysmography and total body water by bio-electrical impedance can provide measurements of percentage body fat in the severely obese that are comparable with a traditional, highly technical three-compartment model requiring facilities such as isotope ratio mass spectrometry along with a substantial technical expertise. This review highlights some of the basic challenges faced by researchers and clinicians when conducting body composition assessments in severely obese patients. A simple three-compartment model that is accurate and easy to perform appears to be promising for use in this population. Further research is needed, however, on this and other feasible methods of body composition assessment in a diverse group of severely obese people.Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care 12/2005; 8(6):602-6.

Brisbane, CA–Bebe Stores Inc. said it would exit its unprofitable "2b bebe" business, under which it sells affordable apparel and accessories, by July as part of a cost-cutting program.
The exit will allow the company to focus on its main brand's retail and outlet stores, and online and international licensing businesses, Bebe said.
The company said it would take a pretax charge of $5 million-$6 million related to the closure of the 2b bebe business, including 16 mall-based stores. Overall, the company has 224 locations.
"Through the closing of our unprofitable 2b brand, and the cost reduction program, we will be better positioned financially and structurally to focus on our core bebe brand," the company said Friday. Bebe Stores said "we continue to evaluate our cost structure, capital expenditure requirements and dividend payments."
Bebe also said it would lay off about 9% of its total non-store employees and 1% of its store employees, taking pretax severance costs of about $3 million in the year ending July.
The job cuts are expected to save about $4 million in fiscal 2015, the company said.
Bebe estimated pretax annual savings of $9 million to $10 million from the cost-cutting program, beginning fiscal 2015.
Earlier this month, Bebe said CEO Steve Birkhold resigned and the board named Jim Wiggett, who has been advising the struggling retailer, as interim CEO.
The company also said it expected same-store sales to fall in low single digits in percentage terms in the current quarter.
In May, Bebe reported a net loss of 31 cents a share for the third quarter. Bebe also said
sales fell 17%, hurt by the impact of severe winter weather and the closing of some underperforming stores.
