I have a 130 foot Rohn 25G tower in my yard with a TH7DXX at 132 feet and a 402CD at 140 feet on the 20 foot mast (7 down, 13 up). In the past, it has also held a TIC RotorRing at 68 feet with a Classic 33 on it. In addition, it has 3 each 13B2s at the 120 foot level. It is guyed with quarter inch Seimens-Marten (sp?) galvanized steel cable that is anchored at 3 points, 120 degrees apart, with 4,000 lbs (1 yard) of concrete at each anchor point. The guys are at 32, 64, 96, and 128 ft on the tower. The tower only has a half yard of concrete at the base. The 4,000 lb rated guys (I'm sure they are derated by Seimens-Martin) are tensioned to 10% of their ratings - 400 lbs. I defy you to climb it and do anything at the top that would make it feel "pretty limber". It is as solid as a rock. Rod, W5HVV Roderick M.

As voyeurs and witnesses to the rise and fall of both princes and lepers in Los Angeles the Americana Jacks offers vicarious tales of lost love, recovery, spectacular failures and undeserved success.
An enticing elixir of sound
The Americana Jacks offers up a stripped down sound of Nashville meets Austin with a little bit of LA to keep it interesting.
Formed in 2013 when guitarist/songwriter Jonathan Sigal reunited with vocalist Bryce Hove after the two played together briefly in a local band called the ReFormed.
Fueling love & passion
"We both wanted to do something different from what was out there and from what we were already doing." says Jonathan Sigal, "Having Bryce's diverse background and adding the killer rhythm section of Ray Lopez (bass) and Adam Hove (drums) has really opened up the sonic possibilities."
With influences from blues, country, jazz, funk, rockabilly and classic rock Americana Jacks create an enticing elixir of sound that can only be be described as Americana Jacked!

Subject: Amy Zaglauer, Merchandise Product Manager
Interviewed by Amber Baumer, Marketing Intern
What first inspired you to work in the music industry?
My inspiration for working in the music industry goes back to when I was in high school and going to shows all the time. I lived for pop punk and went to shows wanting to buy merch, but often left empty handed because the girls shirts were printed on wide Hanes tees that were thick and didn't fit right. The guys designs were often ugly and also printed on thick blanks that I didn't want to wear. I decided I wanted to go into music merchandise to make apparel that people wanted to wear.
How did you get to your position as Merchandise Product Manager of Fueled By Ramen?
I started interning at the Fueled By Ramen office in Tampa in 2005. A job

Cat urine. Ummmm. If you've smelled it, you know it. If you share a home with cats, you know it too -- sometimes too well, if that peeing occurs outside the litter box.
As a cat parent myself, I've wondered if others also hope that those entering their homes won't pick up a urine smell.
Then there are the times when you actually see it happen or encounter a puddle – or worse, a wet rug – soon afterward. Trouble. Right here in River City.
You know not to punish the cat, and you know to try figuring out the WHY and WHY HERE of it. But first of all, you know to start the clean-up toward getting rid of both stain and smell.
A couple recent aromatic "spills" gave me strong reason to check into removing cat urine traces. (Amazing, isn't it -- how interesting a subject can become when it affects you?) From the variety of approaches that others shared with me, there are some common elements and ingredients.
At first sight or smell, the key word to remember should be blot. It's crucial to blot and blot and blot again, to get up as much of the urine as possible. That leads to a couple basic ingredients to always have on hand: towels, in abundance – both paper and fabric, and white vinegar. Club soda can also be helpful.
After blotting thoroughly, a common next step is to saturate the soiled are with a vinegar-water (3:1) mix. And then, guess what? You blot again, to get up as much of that liquid as you can.
Succeeding steps vary, depending on the directions you choose to follow. You might use a mild solution of dish detergent and water, or a paste of baking soda, peroxide and detergent. Or, you might move to a product just for this purpose – "Nature's Miracle" is one I keep hearing about. Another is "Anti-Icky-Poo" (as icky poo as that sounds), and "Dr. Elsey's Litter Box Solutions," is an excellent booklet with a couple pages on cleaning up cat urine.
Taken all together, the links above include specs for cleaning urine from linoleum, hardwood and cement flooring, and laundry. And just because it's tied in to all this, my recommendation for eliminating litter box odors is Nilotron, a spray "odor counteractant" we discovered years ago in a supermarket, but now seems to be available online only.
This post wasn't intended to diagnose why any cat urinates outside the box, a behavior that can have myriad causes. Nor will it suggest a vet check-up for possible physical/health reasons, or cleaning your cats' litter boxes more often, or spaying or neutering cats in question – all widely recommended already.
Its key message is very simple – so simple that I didn't slow down and do it before declaring a good rug to be a disaster area and taking it out for professional help. The message is this: blot, blot, blot! (And only then, proceed.)
Sad ending to fireworks
It happens every time: The annual warning is posted or published – don't leave dogs in cars during hot weather! Then a police officer, of all people who should know better, does just that and the poor dog dies.
This time, it was a warning about how fireworks can cause pets to panic, run away, get hurt or killed or all of the above . . . and sure enough, all of that happened over July 4th to a K-9 in Glassboro, NJ. Needlessly.

I am trying to carry out heritability analysis with gene expression data.
After going through several tutorials and studies, I understood that a saturated model must be fitted for the data as a first step. The data must be tested for equal mean and variances by twin order and also by zygosity in subsequent steps. And all the three models must be compared to check if any differences exist between these models. The examples which I came across did not have significant differences between these models. So, my question is: What would be the appropriate way to proceed if there exists a significant difference between these models ?
Any response would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Obviously with many tests, the type I error rate may be high so one should probably not worry too much about the occasional p<.05. However, sometimes these tests fail badly and there are several possible reasons.
1. The data are non-normal. In my experience this is the most common reason for serious failure of the equal variances of twin 1 & twin 2.
2. MZ and DZ variances differ. This can indicate that twins have a mutual influence on each other, or in the case of ratings by their parents, the observers contrast the twins - possibly differently for MZ and DZ twins - and this creates differences in MZ and DZ variances. Sometimes mean differences can arise from these processes. There are papers on sibling contrast effects, which can be modeled.
3. You got unlucky. Outliers can cause pretty big differences when sample sizes are not large. Plot your data and see whether some outliers might be affecting the means and/or variances.
Good luck, and do let us know how you get on.

Last Updated: September 07, 2016
Today's Top Vocation Activities
Special days for vocations
There are four times in the liturgical year that are great for promoting Vocations
1. National Priesthood Sunday If you go to Priesthood Sunday you will find a lot of great ideas. Selected materials are en español, for liturgy planning guide and the religious education materials are now in Spanish. Consider putting a basket in the vestibule and having parishioners write Thank You card for your pastor or any priest who was important in their life.
2. National Vocation Awareness Week. The planning kit is available for download through the generous grant form the Bishop Britt Vocation Fund and the USA Council of Serra International. This packet has information for many staff members and ages from young children through grandparents, homily information etc. Consider special activities during this week, homily on vocations, prayer cards passed out as people enter mass, special activities for the youth i.e. a priest or sister tell their story
3. World Day for Consecrated Life The planning kit is available for download through the generous grant form the Bishop Britt Vocation Fund and the USA Council of Serra International. This packet has information for many staff members and ages from young children through grandparents, homily information etc. The past several years the Archdiocese of Portland has had a Vigil Prayers Service to honor those committed to the consecrated life.
4. World Day of Prayer for Vocations The planning kit is available for download through the generous grant form the Bishop Britt Vocation Fund and the USA Council of Serra International. Everyday is a day to pray for Vocations, but this is just a special day or consider "31 Club' where some one from your parish signs up to go to mass on that day each month (1-31) and pray for vocations. The 31-Club program is available for purchase through the USAC by calling 888-777-6681.
PS… If you don't have a Vocation Committee in your parish. How can we help you start one?
How would like to create your own posters to publicize your parish celebration?
This World Day of Prayer for Vocations Poster has areas where you can enter text for the name of the Event, the Date i.e. Month Date, Year (formatted just this way), the time i.e. 1:00 pm (formatted just this way HH:MM tt), the Place including an address, and at the left edge of the photo at the bottom where the sponsor or sponsors can be recognized.<Take a look - Try it today!>

The Newman Connection
A recent study completed by CARA for the U. S. Bishops concerning Catholic Campus Ministry (November, 2005) confirmed a strong opinion that those who were active in Campus Ministry: attended Mass more often than those who did not participate in Campus Ministry; donated more to their Parishes; became leaders in the Parishes; and were more likely to consider a vocation to the Priesthood or Religious Life. <more...>
The SERRA and NET Connection
This past year a successful effort was made to connect young missionaries of
the National Evangelization Team (NET) with Serra Clubs across our nation. NET
Teams, made up of 6 young men and 6 young women ages 18 to 28, visited over 70
Dioceses, giving retreats for young Catholics. The following information came
from a meeting of Serrans and Netters during the annual NET wrap-up week. About
15% of all team members enter the convent or Seminary after serving on NET. The
rest of the team are very good candidates as future Serrans.

School Vocation Awareness Program
The School Vocation Awareness Program is designed for use in parish schools to increase the vocation awareness of eighth grade students. It describes the procedures for obtaining approval, sample letters and the details of conducting the program. The teachers normally introduce the program to the students who prepare essays on a topic selected by the Serra leader. The essays are judged by members of the local club. The program normally includes Mass with the students, continental breakfast, viewing of a DVD/film (A Family Affair), a short talk by a Serra on Serra and vocations, a talk by the parish priest and / or nun, and the awarding of prizes for the winning essays. Click here for a program description... you may also contact Greg Lynch for additional information.
Traveling Chalice for Vocations a school project
All Souls Church in Englewood, Colorado has decided to make the Traveling
Chalice for Vocations a school project for the second semester of this school
year. The chalice is presented to a class at the weekly school Mass and the
class pledges to pray for vocations that next week. We are blessed to have a
seminarian working in our school on Thursdays so some of the classes are also
inviting the seminarian into speak during their week of hosting the chalice.
Our students are enjoying praying for vocation, reading stories about vocations
and discussing vocations. In our school we have the class bring the Chalice
back to the next school Mass and Father calls representatives from the hosting
class up to pass the chalice to some representatives of the new class. We have
adapted a Chalice program from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (with their
permission) and pass this to the teacher of each class.
We have included a generic copy of this program that might be adapted for use in your school with the approval of your priest and principal. <Download the program today!>

Affirming Priests and Promoting Membership
From the Serra Club of
South Suburban Minneapolis
The Serra Club of South Suburban Minneapolis has started a new program of honoring and affirming our priests in our area. A member from the affirmation committee or vocation committee arranges a date with each priest to attend one of his masses in a group. We offer our Mass and Communion in a spiritual bouquet card in thanksgiving for his vocation. We also include a small gift card as a token of our appreciation. We usually have one member lead us as we pray over Father after Mass. We invite Father to attend breakfast with us if he has time. Some priests say a little something about the Serra Club and acknowledge us. This program was modeled after the SW Denver Serra Club's program.
We have found this is a good way to publicize Serra. Some newcomers have started joining us for the masses and then expressed an interest in our group. We also pass out little notices about our upcoming meeting to the daily Mass attendees. We use the fourth Friday of the month to help members set their schedule. <Read more...>
School Awareness Program
Each year the Serra Club of Santa Clara, CA schedules a school awareness program with the 8th graders in 10 parochial schools in our area of operations. Each school has a club member as the Parish Contact Person and several months before the date of the program, they contact the pastor and principal requesting permission for the program. At this time we they give them the theme for the essay.
The programs are always conducted on the First Friday. Most of the schools are anticipating the event as we have done it regularly for many years. The students prepare the essays and the Serrans judge them.
On the day of the event we Celebrate Holy Mass, have continental breakfast, show the Serran Movie: "A Family Affair," a short discussion usually by a priest, a nun, and a Serran about Serra and vocations and the awarding of prizes. Refer to Serra Booklet for complete details.

The exploration involves a critical analysis and application of deconstruction to isiZulu poetry, and more specifically to a selection of Maphumulo's poems. This research shows that deconstruction does not constitute a traditional analysis of poetry, but that the theory attempts to interplay various meanings at the same time without giving prominence to a singular meaning. Perceptions regarding deconstruction are highlighted such as that the readings merely dismantle creative works without contributing much to its value. This research sets out to prove this observation wrong by first providing a deconstructive thematic reading of two themes of Maphumulo; that of death and education. Furthermore, the deconstruction approach is outlined and applied with specific attention to the multiplicity of meaning in Maphumulo's poetry. Intertextuality and influence are also examined as it is evident that the poet Maphumulo was influence by his culture, the Bible and nature, amongst other influences. It is shown how the poet synthesises different influences and styles of poetry into a new original mode. Although this research focuses on selected aspects of the deconstructive procedure in analysing isiZulu texts, it is finally recommended that more research should be effected on deconstruction, and especially on Maphumulo's poetry. 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z Term creation : an analysis of the strategies used in some selected Shona specialised terms dictionaries Gumbo, Lettiah http://hdl.handle.net/10500/21015 2016-07-22T08:59:41Z 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z Term creation : an analysis of the strategies used in some selected Shona specialised terms dictionaries Gumbo, Lettiah This study is in the area of terminology activities in Zimbabwe and it analyses the term creation used in the following selected specialised terms dictionaries: Duramazwi Reurapi Neutano (Dictionary of Biomedical Terms), Duramazwi Remimhanzi (Dictionary of Shona Musical Terms), and Duramazwi Redudziramutauro NeUvaranomwe (Dictionary of Shona Linguistic and Literature Terms). The study specifically analyses and explores how terminographers together with health, music, language and literature specialists made use of their term creation skills and strategies in the creation of new specialised terms for the field of music, health and linguistics. In addition, this research takes into account the impact of factors such as culture, socio- economic, etymological purity, attitudes of the target users, language policy, as well as availability of resourceson term creation. Hence, term creation is an exercise that involves many aspects and interlinked factors. This research advances the argument that while some term creation strategies (compounding, coining and derivation) can be adequate and appropriate, however, at times; they are some which result in created terms that are rather cumbersome, vague, artificial, and difficult to master and remember. In addition, this study found out that some term creation strategies (semantic expansion and loan translations) are unproductive; that means they do not add any value on the Shona language vocabulary. Moreover, the borrowing term creation strategy was analysed on the basis of whether it is promoting and elevating the Shona language or is it undermining its value and vitality. This study emphasises the need for a collaborative approach to term creation, with terminologists, linguists, subject area specialists and target language users during the different phases of word formation processes for the collective ownership of the created term and their acceptability to the target users. This study highlights that, through good term creation strategies the Shona Language can significantly contribute to the promotion and development of Shona language in Zimbabwe. Overally, the research yields a substantial amount of information in the terminological formation processes as well as the identification of factors that can be used to improve term creation strategies in order to develop indigenous languages for use in all spheres of life.The major contribution of this study is the identification and highlighting of the major strength and weaknesses of term creation strategies as a way of developing indigenous languages. The useful findings in this study will benefit the indigenous language development and language policy planners and terminologists in Zimbabwe and other African languages in similar situations. The significant amount of information about term creation that was used in the analysis of term creation in the three dictionaries was solicited from questionnaires and interviews that were carried out with linguists, the specialised dictionary compilers, music students, medical students and high school students doing Shona language and literature subject in Zimbabwe. More information on the term creation was done through content analysis of the three specialised dictionaries and the present researcher's own experiences as a former Shona high school teacher, linguist and above all as a Shona language speaker. 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z Nature of possession in Siswati : a socio-cultural analysis Matfunjwa, Muzi Nkanyiso http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20952 2016-07-22T13:33:37Z 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z Nature of possession in Siswati : a socio-cultural analysis Matfunjwa, Muzi Nkanyiso This study is an analysis of the nature of possession in siSwati from a socio-cultural perspective. The study seeks to uncover how possession is expressed in siSwati and also the socio-cultural traits of the Swazi people that are revealed through possession. A written corpus was used to collect the requisite data and the relevant data was subsequently analysed. The study adopted systematic functional linguistic and sociolinguistic approaches to analyse the nature of possession in siSwati 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z A comparative analysis of stylistic devices in Shakespeare's plays, Julius Caesar and Macbeth and Baloyi, Mafemani Joseph http://hdl.handle.net/10500/20036 2016-03-12T01:00:16Z 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z A comparative analysis of stylistic devices in Shakespeare's plays, Julius Caesar and Macbeth and Baloyi, Mafemani Joseph The study adopts a theory of Descriptive Translation Studies to undertake a comparative analysis of stylistic devices in Shakespeare's two plays, Julius Caesar and Macbeth and their Xitsonga translations. It contextualises its research aim and objectives after outlining a sequential account of theory development in the discipline of translation; and arrives at the desired and suitable tools for data collection and analysis.Through textual observation and notes of reading, the current study argues that researchers and scholars in the discipline converge when it comes to a dire need for translation strategies, but diverge in their classification and particular application for convenience in translating and translation. This study maintains that the translation strategies should be grouped into explicitation, normalisation and simplification, where each is assigned specific translation procedures. The study demonstrates that explicitation and normalisation translation strategies are best suited in dealing with translation constraints at a microtextual level. The sampled excerpts from both plays were examined on the preference for the analytical framework based on subjective sameness within a Skopos theory. The current study acknowledges that there is no single way of translating a play from one culture to the other. It also acknowledges that there appears to be no way the translator can refrain from the influence of the source text, as an inherent cultural feature that makes it unique. With no sure way of managing stylistic devices as translation constraints, translation as a problem-solving process requires creativity, a demonstration of mastery of language and style of the author of the source text, as well as a power drive characterised by the aspects of interlingual psychological balance of power and knowledge power. These aspects will help the translator to manage whatever translation brief(s) better, and arrive at a product that is accessible, accurate and acceptable to the target readership. They will also ensure that the translator maintains a balance between the two languages in contact, in order to guard against domination of one language over the other. The current study concludes that the Skopos theory has a larger influence in dealing with anticipating the context of the target readership as a factor that can introduce high risk when assessing the communicability conditions for the translated message. Contrariwise, when dealing with stylistic devices and employ literal translation as a translation procedure to simplification, the translator only aims at simplifying the language and making it accessible for the sake of 'accessibility' as it remains a product with communicative inadequacies. The study also concludes by maintaining that translation is not only transcoding, but the activity that calls for the translator's creativity in order to identify and analyse the constraints encountered and decide on the corresponding translation strategies. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z

Leipheimer Takes Charge at BeauceToday, Saturn's Levi Leipheimer showed the rest of the field at the GP Cycliste de Beauce why he is the defending champion, with a decisive victory on Mont Megantic that also put him in the leader's jersey. However, a guttsy breakaway, that dwindled to a lone rider by the end, was not caught until the final 4 kilometres of the stage, keeping everybody guessing on the outcome.The reason Mont Megantic is considered to be the 'race defining' stage is the fearsome 5 kilometre climb at the end - with a summit finish at the top of the highest paved road in eastern Canada. The climb averages 8% for the entire ascent, but contains sections of 15% and 18%. At the end of a 170 kilometre stage, and with 500 kilometres on the riders' legs before they reach it, time lost or gained is usually measured in minutes, not seconds.Normally, the selection of contenders is made before Mont Megantic, with only 15 or so riiders having a chance on general classification at this point in the race. This year was different - nearly 60 riders were within 30 seconds of leader Gord Fraser of Mercury. This meant that all the top teams had multiple riders still in the hunt for GC, and there was no incentive to attack early.The situation opened the door for lesser known riders to take a chance, and they did - beginning with Jean-Charles Pinsonneault of the Quebec provincial team, who was twelve and a half minutes back of Fraser. He bolted off the front immediately after the end of the 5 kilometre rolling neutral start, and gained a minute by the 10 kilometre mark. Team Canada sent Alexandre Bernard up to join him 17 kilometres into the race and, a few kilometres later, Ron Schmeer (Nutra Fig) and former Canadian champion Darko Ficko (Composite A) set off in pursuit.Pinsonneault was dropped by Bernard, who was in turn bolstered at the 40 kilometre mark by Ficko and Schmeer. This trio then proceeded to put some serious time on the uninterested field. By the 60 kilometre mark they were nearly six and a half minutes up. A few chase groups and a couple of Mountain primes stirred things up for a while and brought the breakaways down to 3:15, but then they started to pull away again, reaching a 9:30 lead at the 95 kilometre point.The field decided this was too much, and started to reel them back in. Ficko dropped off the front, falling back to a couple of chasers (Charles Dionne of Degree Radio Energie-Shaklee and Jon Hambien of Navigators) who were dangling in the middle between the front and the pack, and this group was absorbed by the field with 40 kilometres to go. At the same time, Bernard finally blew at the front, leaving Schmeer on his own.Once again, the peleton backed off, with Saturn deliberately not contributing to the chase: "we weren't going to attack because our team is all strong climbers", said Leipheimer after the race. "We wanted to have everyone at the front for the climb."However, there was still the matter of that annoying Nutra Fig rider out in front by 5 minutes, who refused to give up. Unfortunately, the road began to turn upward in the final 20 kilometres, and the peleton slowly and patiently reeled Schmeer in. He didn't give up without a fight though, staying off the front until the road went vertical. He eventually finished 64th on the stage, losing 12:44 in that last 4 kilometres. Schmeer's comment after the race was: "I did not have a good climb."Now Saturn went to work. Matt Anand went to the front and set a hard pace, which peeled off a large section of the field, leaving a core group of 15 - including 4 Saturns. Leipheimer then "looked around and I saw that everyone was at their limits, and I felt strong." So strong, that he punched it on an 18% section and immediately gained 20 metres. He then settled into a steady, smooth rythm and rode away from the group. A few half hearted efforts were made to follow him, but each had Saturn rider firmly attached to it, so the group decided to prepare for a 'sprint' for second place. Jaroslav Bilek (Wustenrot-ZVVZ), who had also finished second in the prologue came in 45 seconds later, with Vasilly Davidenko (Navigators), Jan Hruska (Wustenrot-ZVVZ) and Mike Barry (Saturn) trickling in at 2 and 3 second intervals afterwards. Bilek sits behind Leipheimer by exactly that 45 second finishing gap in the general classification. Tomorrow the riders face a 14.4 kilometre time trial in the morning, and a 61 kilometre criterium in the evening.Notes:- After the race, Darko Ficko revealed that Beauce is his first race of the season! He also joked: "expect more aggressive riding from Composites A and B tomorrow and Sunday." Darko finished 93rd on the stage, 39:46 back...- There is much talk of the ongoing doping/Tour situation in Europe. Opinions seem to be split, with riders happy that doping is being clamped down on, but concerned that all the negative publicity will have a very adverse effect on sponsorships and public perceptions of the sport. Brian Walton said: "I am happy to see it getting cleaned up, but people seem to forget that cycling is already one of the most tested sports out there. Compared to some other (sports), we are doing a good job. This sort of (publicity) could kill the sport."Results (full results to follow)Stage 3, St Georges to Mont Megantic, 168.9 km1.

Nursing student participating in Grenfell Relay for Life in honour of cancer-stricken friend
© Geraldine Brophy
Stephanie Snow is taking part in Grenfell Campus, Memorial University's Canadian Cancer Society's of Relay for Life beginning 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 to 7 a.m. Sunday Jan. 27, 2013.
CORNER BROOK — Stephanie Snow has participated in several of the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life events in her hometown of Botwood.
But, when she takes part in Grenfell Campus, Memorial University's second-ever event Saturday, it will be a Relay for Life like none other for the first-year student at the Western Regional School of Nursing.
Snow has a 17-year-old friend from Botwood currently battling cancer, something she admits has given her more perspective on the deadly disease.
"You actually see what people go through when they're fighting cancer," Snow said. "It makes it so much more important to raise money ... so not so many have to be fighting this."
The relay runs from 7 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Sunday and Snow said there's little doubt thoughts of her friend will be foremost in her heart.
"For what he's going through, he's real positive and he has plenty of support from friends and family," she said of her friend, who will participate in MUN's version of the relay Saturday in St. John's. "I will be thinking about him this weekend for sure and he's going to be doing the relay in St. John's at MUN at the same time."
While this relay likely won't include cancer survivors, Snow expects there will be emotional, heart-wrenching moments of hope and love as participants gather to make a stand against cancer.
"Everyone is affected by it, so when you see people getting emotional, it's just very powerful," she said. "We're hoping people will still get that message even though there won't be survivors there."
Danielle Cole, co-chair of the event, said there are four teams currently registered for the all-night relay, which doubles last year's entrants.
The native of Grand Falls-Windsor said as a second-year event, organizers are hoping to see interest grow in a cause she hopes will become an annual one.
"It's a bit of a different relay, but it should be a lot of fun," Cole said. "We're still trying to see what works best and what doesn't. We're hoping that with each year, we will get more people interested."
There is still time to register for the relay or to volunteer. To do so, visit cancer.ca/nl, click the Relay for Life Logo and select Grenfell Campus as your location.
For more information, contact Cole at email@example.com

In the ad below, Lea Michele tries something revolutionary.
Campaigning on behalf of PETA, the actress doesn't get naked or focus on some broad, unattainable goal such as making the world vegetarian.
Instead, she talks honestly and rationally about the treatment of the animals in charge of horse-drawn carriages. Says the Glee cast members:
"Imagine for a moment that you're forced to do hard physical labor all day, seven days a week - whether it's sweltering hot or freezing cold outside. At the end of the day, instead of relaxing on [an] easy chair or sleeping in a comfortable bed, you are locked in a tiny closet all night long."
It's hard to argue with the points Lea makes in the video above, isn't it?

HONOLULU -- SMU is back from the dead.
Freshman Kyle Padron threw for an SMU-record 460 yards, leading the Mustangs to a 45-10 victory over Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl on Thursday night -- SMU's first postseason appearance in 25 years.
It was a triumphant return to the postseason and paradise for the Mustangs and second-year coach June Jones, who left Hawaii after nine seasons and has revived a dreadful SMU program hit hard by the NCAA death penalty.
"What it means to me, it just feels good to be home," said Jones, 16-1 at Aloha Stadium since 2006 and 4-1 in Hawaii Bowls.
SMU fans chanted "Thank you, June!" in the fourth quarter, but it was his young quarterback who shone and earned the MVP award.
"I wouldn't say the Pony Express, but it brings back a lot of boosters and a lot of the alumni to know we have a football team again," Padron said after breaking Mike Romo's school record of 450 yards passing against North Texas in 1989.
It was chaos in the SMU locker room where players were dancing, chanting and screaming. Players couldn't even hear Jones' speech.
"I'm sure he said something great," linebacker Chase Kennemer said.
The Mustangs were motivated by the fact that 91 percent of America picked them to lose online.
The 18-year-old Padron, who was 32 of 41 and completed two touchdown passes, was confident and composed on the biggest stage of his young career.
"I was kind of chucking the ball everywhere," Padron said. "Lot of big gaps today and it was fun."
He earned the starting job after Bo Levi Mitchell was injured in the seventh game of the season and was largely unknown coming out of Southlake Carroll in Texas, which produced quarterbacks Chase Daniel and Greg McElroy.
Despite the tiny crowd at the game, people are paying attention to Padron -- and SMU.
After going 1-11 the previous two years, the Mustangs (8-5) have their most victories since their last postseason game -- also in Hawaii when SMU beat Notre Dame 27-20 in the 1984 Aloha Bowl to finish 10-2.
The 12-point underdogs dominated from the opening bell, jumping out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and building a 38-0 advantage by the third.
Padron had 303 yards passing in the first half alone, breaking SMU's bowl record of 281 yards by Chuck Hixson in the 1968 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl.

Flexibility Keeps Alcoa on Top Employer List
Alcoa has been recognised as an Employer of Choice for Women, by the Federal Government's Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency, for the eighth consecutive year.
Executive Director of Human Resources Kim Horne put the recognition down to Alcoa's well established flexible work arrangements and commitment to workplace diversity.
"Businesses which take the issues of work/life blend and diversity seriously will stand a far greater chance of attracting the right people who will be the best fit for the organisation and who are best placed to assist in delivering bottom line results," Mr Horne said.
"Business sustainability relies on talented people, and so providing equal opportunities for women to realise their career potential have been fundamental strategies for Alcoa for many years."
Alcoa's return to work rates following maternity leave remain high at around 90 per cent with data suggesting that the organisation's ability to offer part-time work for women returning from maternity leave has had a significant impact on the retention of women.
"Providing a workplace that is flexible and supportive for working mums simply makes good business sense," Mr Horne said.
Information Systems Consultant Karen Wood has worked for Alcoa for 20 years and has two children: "I'm a single mum and it's hard juggling two children, fitness routines for us all, and a household. The arrangements I have in place with Alcoa give me flexibility and the ability to fit it all in."
Experimental Scientist Wai Lim Kong is the carer of her elderly mother and said being able to work part-time in a supportive environment allows her the extra time she needs for herself and her family.
"If my mum has an appointment at the doctor and the appointment falls in my normal work time, I have the flexibility to come in for half a day and make up the lost work time another day, or work from home," Wai Lim said.
Jo Ferrie, who is a member of the Corporate Affairs team, works part-time from home. "I have dedicated days in which I am in my home office. I also log-on in the evening once my children are in bed to keep track of any developments and to complete any urgent work that may need a faster turn around than my two day work cycle."
"For the type of work I do, it doesn't make a difference whether I am in the office in a pinstripe suit or at home with my slippers on!"
Alcoa's entitlements include 13 weeks paid maternity leave and paid paternity leave.
"60 per cent of our people have been with us for more than 10 years, which I think says volumes about the type of workplace we offer," Mr Horne said.
Media contact: Sarah Tempest – 0404 800 417
Example of Alcoa's flexible work policies and entitlements:
Full-time employees, below management level, are offered one leisure day off (LDO) each month. If they do not take the LDO, they are paid out for those days in December each year.
13 weeks paid maternity leave and paid paternity leave.
Job-sharing arrangements can be offered for some job roles.
Work from home arrangements. This is either on an as needs basis, however some employees work totally from home.
Alcoa is open to part-time arrangements for women returning from maternity leave.
Flexible start and finish times for some job roles. Alcoa has mutual trust with its employees. Those who take advantage of flexible start and finish times make up their lost business hours time by putting in after-hours work when their family needs have been met.
Background to EOWA Employer of Choice for Women citation
The Employer of Choice for Women citation is an acknowledgment by EOWA of organisations that are recognising and advancing women in the workplace.
The 2009 EOWA Employer of Choice for Women citation list features 111 organisations ranging in size and spanning across all industries.
To be recognised as an EOWA Employer of Choice for Women, employers on the list are required to meet stringent criteria which include offering a minimum of 6 weeks paid maternity leave after 12 months of service; providing the ability for female managers to work part-time; ensuring the percentage of female managers is the same or greater than 28% or the industry average, and ensuring a pay equity analysis has been undertaken and any gap identified is less than their industry average.
Organisations must apply for the citation each year.

Wailing fire truck sirens can actually lead to a calming effect because you know the fire department is on the way. Until recently, it was most likely that firefighters were arriving in trucks built by American LaFrance.
Tracing its roots as far back as 1832, the LaFrance Fire Engine company quickly developed a reputation for building quality -- and dare I say, pretty -- fire trucks. It later joined with the American Fire Engine Company to create American LaFrance.
Despite the storied history, American LaFrance is seeking bankruptcy protection because of a computer meltdown. Following its sale from Freightliner to investment firm Patriarch Partners, American LaFrance switched to a new computer system from IBM (NYSE: IBM ) that was incompatible with its existing data, which led to mismanaged orders, misplaced inventories, and inaccessible customer histories. Although it's a sad chapter in its history, reorganization is under way and, if approved, should result in a healthier company.
While the new computers appear to have been the hitch, fire truck sales in general have been far from blazing. Witness Spartan Motors (Nasdaq: SPAR ) . Some 14% of its $568 million in annual revenues comes from fire truck sales. In its quarter ended in September, Spartan reported segment sales down 8% from the year before. Similarly, Oshkosh Truck (NYSE: OSK ) , which reported earnings this morning, said today that it is "facing significant headwinds" in its fire and emergency segment.
Computers and costs led to American LaFrance's downfall. If the company emerges from bankruptcy, a more cost-effective process for producing fire trucks would probably go a long way toward increasing sales.

Jacintha Saldanha, one of two nurses who found themselves in the global spotlight after a prank call by Australian DJs to Kate Middleton's hospital, apparently hanged herself in nurses' quarters near the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for acute morning sickness.
She also had injuries to her wrists, and left three suicide notes, a coroner's officer testified at a hearing Thursday, the Associated Press reports.
Mel Greig and Michael Christian, the DJs who pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles phoning about Middleton's health, have tearfully apologized but said they never expected the call to be taken seriously. Their show has been canceled and they have been suspended, and the radio station has pledged all advertising revenue through the end of the year to the Saldanha family.
Saldanha's family was not present at the inquest. A memorial Mass is being held Saturday at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral.

Going into their final home game for nearly three weeks, the Portland State Vikings knew a win was vital to their post-season chances. Unfortunately, they ran into a red-hot shooting Sacramento State team that burned the Vikings in the Stott Center, 72-65.
The Hornets shot a season-high .617 from the field as they handed Portland State a fourth straight loss. The defeat puts the Vikings in a tough spot -10th place - with a 6-8 record in the Big Sky Conference standings. Just two weeks ago, PSU was tied for third, but a four-game losing streak has them battling uphill for the final six games of the season.
The good news for PSU is the tightly bunched Big Sky standings. At 6-8, the Vikings are still only two games out of third, and one game out of fifth place. Portland State is now 11-12 overall this season.
With the win, Sacramento State moves ahead of PSU at 11-12, 7-7.
The Hornets hit seven of their first nine shots and jumped to a 18-6 lead after six minutes. Cody Demps scored 10 points in the opening run for Sacramento State.
A Demps dunk with 6:49 to go in the half gave the Hornets a 28-15 lead. At that point, Demps was 7-7 from the field and had 16 points.
The low point for the Vikings was a 43-24 deficit at the 1:35 mark of the half. But PSU scored the last five points of the half to trail, 43-29.
Sacramento State made 17-26 shots in the first half (.654) and out-rebounded the Vikings, 14-7. PSU was shooting 13-22 (.591), but the rebound deficit and eight turnovers for 15 Hornet points were costly.
Down 52-35 in the second half, the Vikings went on a 13-0 run with eight points from Andre Winston Jr. and five from Zach Gengler. That cut it to 52-48 and had a sellout Stott Center crowd rocking. But PSU went cold from there, scoring only six points over the next 10 minutes.
By the time the Hornets' Mikh McKinney hit a jumper with 2:07 left, the Vikings trailed 67-54. PSU got no closer than five the rest of the way.
Sacramento State shot 29-47 overall, hitting 3-6 from three-point range. The Hornets out-rebounded the Vikings, 30-20 for the game. McKinney led his team with 18 points and 11 assists. Demps scored 16, while Dylan Garrity had 15. Eric Stuteville came off the bench to hit 6-6 shots for 12 points.
The Vikings .537 mark (29-54) from the field was good, but not good enough. PSU was only 4-14 from distance and 3-8 at the free throw line.
Andre Winston had 18 points to lead the Vikings, making 8-10 from the field. Gary Winston and Tim Douglas each had 10 points and four assists in the game.

The two men arrested Saturday for the city's fourth homicide of the year March 4 are facing charges of criminal homicide and robbery, among other offenses.
Tyya Barnes, 19, and Shane Holloway, 18, are also facing charges of tampering with evidence, providing police with false information, carrying a firearm without a license and conspiracy to commit robbery involving serious bodily injury, according to court records.
Police developed the men as suspects shortly after neighbors discovered 20-year-old Cortney Jackson dead from multiple gunshot wounds in an alley off Forster Street March 4.
Family members of Jackson said they believed he was robbed and police said Jackson traveled a short distance from the scene of the shooting before he collapsed in the 900 block of Long Street, a narrow alley off of Forster.
Family members believe he was trying to reach his grandparents' house down the street.
Due to the nature of the charges against them, neither Holloway nor Barnes was assigned bail during their preliminary arraignment Saturday morning before Dauphin County Magisterial District Judge Rebecca Jo Margerum, court records state.
Both men are schedule to appear before Judge Robert Jennings for a preliminary hearing March 19, according to the records. They are being held in Dauphin County Prison.

The Great Debate
from Anatole Kaletsky:
An 'atomic bomb' is hovering over France's economy
from Anatole Kaletsky:
Will the European economy's summer squalls turn into an autumn tempest?
Following the grim market response to European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's latest monetary policy pronouncements, Europe is approaching another make-or-break moment comparable to the crisis of 2012. The summer quarter ended this week, and financial markets delivered their judgment on just how bad things are, pushing the euro down to its lowest level since September 2012. Europe's quarterly stock market performance was the worst since the nadir of the euro crisis. The question is whether the miserable summer will give way to a milder autumn. Or whether the summer squalls will turn into a catastrophic tempest.
Putin's anti-American rhetoric now persuades his harshest critics
People I know in Russia, members of the intelligentsia and professionals who have long been critical of President Vladimir Putin's anti-Western stance, have suddenly turned into America-bashers. Many have been swept away by Putin's arguments that the United States, not the Kremlin, is destabilizing Ukraine.

World Cup chants reveal true state of U.S.-German relations
As Germany basks in its World Cup victory, it's easy to forget that one of the most telling geopolitical moments of the tournament came during the Germany-U.S. game. As American fans chanted "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" the Germans countered with, "N-S-A! N-S-A! N-S-A!"
U.S. spying on Germany: Making enemies out of allies, and for what?
What were they thinking?
In the wake of last fall's revelation that the National Security Agency had wiretapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cell phone, the report of U.S. intelligence's involvement in two other likely cases of spying on Germany is mind-boggling.

Christopher Watters, 55, pleaded no contest Tuesday, April 2, to one count of delivery of a controlled substance causing death. He is accused of injecting his niece, 36-year-old Crystal Watters-Osborn, with a fatal dose of illegal prescription drugs in March 2011.
The charge carries a potential maximum sentence of life in prison but prosecutors agreed to a maximum of 25 years.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the length of the sentence combined with Watters' age could leave Watters spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Charges of first-degree felony murder and delivery of less than 50 grams of a controlled substance were dismissed against Watters as part of the agreement.
Watters' attorney, Douglas Theodoroff, said the situation was tragic but declined to comment on the case.
A Genesee Township man was recently sentenced to prison for his role in a similar December 2011 death.
Joseph L. Boras, 41, was sentenced March 26 to three years, six months to 25 years in prison by Genesee Circuit Judge Geoffrey Neithercut after he pleaded guilty to delivery of heroin causing death.
Authorities say Boras purchased heroin and injected his stepbrother, Timothy Little, 41, of Flint Township, with the drug.
Watters' sentencing is scheduled for April 29 in front of Genesee Circuit Judge Archie Hayman.

Hi, ich bin Tom!
I travel all the time and use services like Airbnb, and many many others to both meet people and find more interesting places to stay. I live in Kips bay which is close to a lot of great neighborhoods, and can offer advice for restaurants and places to go out for pretty much all of Manhattan.
My travel philosophy is to locate myself where I can have the maximum impact and see the most in the shortest time. However, unlike itinerant travelers like Clark Griswold of the Vacation movies, I don't think it's important to rush to all the sites in the guidebooks, but rather to work smarter to combine experiences. I like to leave projects, shopping or even errands that I would normally do at home for other countries, and I like taking or teaching classes while traveling as well. When it's absolutely necessary to hit the tourist spots (and I do feel the need to do that) I try to experience them from the angle of a local - like finding the best rooftop bar to view the empire state building from rather than queueing to go up in it.
I'm also an iPhone and iPad nut so I can help you configure your phone with all the right apps to make the most out of NYC - NYC is much better with all the social services switched on and humming.
May your travels be interesting...

The Cleveland Browns are "alarmed" by Johnny Manziel and his partying antics in the weeks since the club drafted Johnny Football, Cleveland.com reported on Friday.
Manziel has hit Los Angeles (partying with Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather), Las Vegas and San Antonio (among other locales) in recent weeks. Photos of his escapades have TMZ and other site, but it was one particular image that apparently has the Browns worried.
The photo showed Manziel rolling up a dollar bill in a restroom, an image posted by Busted Coverage earlier this month. There could be a few uses for rolled up bill, but some have speculated about its most notorious use: to snort cocaine.
NFL players -- at least those not in the league's drug program -- are typically only tested once for street drugs and those screenings usually take place during training camp.
Browns coach Mike Pettine told Cleveland.com, a sister site of NJ.com, that he addressed the photo with Manziel by phone and plans to have a face-to-face meeting with the quarterback.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam reportedly told Manziel to cool with the partying after the Browns moved up in May's draft to take Manziel 22nd overall.
And beyond some negative PR, Manziel hasn't exactly shined since rookies reported to Browns camp on Wednesday, according to Cleveland.com's
Mary Kay Cabot.
Manziel regressed in practice after the first week of organized team activities, and some in the organization attributed it to too much jet-setting and not enough dedication to the playbook.
Manziel has apparently already lost ground in the team's quarterback competition.
On Monday, he told cleveland.com that although Brian Hoyer is starting out No. 1 on the depth chart, he views the competition "as open'' and vowed to give Hoyer and Manziel reps with "the same supporting cast'' to make it as fair and even as possible.
By Wednesday afternoon, after meeting with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains, Pettine told a second wave of reporters in one-on-one interviews that Manziel wouldn't be getting reps with the first team offense during the early days of training camp, which begins Saturday.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Police pursuing mass murder suspect Rodrick Dantzler say they believe he kicked in the door of an apartment at 3232 Rickman Ave. NE in the area near Plainfield Avenue and I-96 and has taken at least one hostage. Three shots initially were heard fired from inside the apartment.
At 7:40 p.m. an additional shot was heard fired from inside the apartment. Police are attempting to learn the number of hostages in the apartment. One hostage has been confirmed.
Police say they received a call from Dantzler indicating he was unhappy about the pursuit and said he had taken hostages. Police received a second call from the suspect's cell phone around 7:50 p.m., about 20 minutes after the first call.
Following a police chase through downtown Grand Rapids and onto surrounding highways, Dantzler crashed his vehicle into a ditch on I-96 and fled on foot.
He abandoned the car on westbound lanes of I-96 and ran into the woods between Soft Water Lake and Rickman Avenue, a dead end street connecting via Elmdale Street with Eastern Avenue to the west.
The apartment where Dantzler is believed to be holding hostages is a short distance from the Brynell Court house where four bodies were found earlier today.
A Speedway gas station near I-96 and Plainfield is being used as a staging area for police. Police closer to the scene are positioned on Elmdale Street.
Homes in the area along Rickman Avenue are being evacuated by police.

Saving Two Dogs At The Last Minute
Wednesday - August 09, 2006
Dear Pamela,
Because of a housing situation, we had to give up our two 9-year-old dogs. I couldn't find a rescue haven to take them, and it seemed the only solution was to put them down. I was so devasted that all I did was cry. We had Pua since she was 8 weeks old, Simon since he was 9 months old. We took them to the vet and were waiting in the front when an "angel" came in to pick up his two dogs. Tears were running down my face. When our name was called, my husband went in first with Simon. My angel asked, "What's the matter?" I told him and he said, no, you can't do that. He offered to take them if we didn't mind them living in Acadia, Calif. I yelled to my husband, wait! I couldn't stop crying, I thought it was a dream.
This angel saved three lives, for if I had to put down my dogs I wouldn't have wanted to live anymore. His name is Robert Randall.
Amy Yamauchi Katahira
Dear Amy,
Robert Randall was still in the Islands when we called. "I just had to take them. Amy was crying in the waiting room and I knew how painful it must have been. I have two other dogs, and since we're relocating to California, I thought I might as well ship four dogs over. Pua and Simon are wonderful dogs and they get along with my two dogs. In fact, they all crowd into my bed at night!"
Aloha Pamela,
I'd like to give a round of APPLAUSE to the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. My dear friend Rose, whom I haven't seen in eight years, came to Honolulu in June. She and her other friends made reservations for the Sheraton Waikiki luau and asked if I could join them. Immediately I called, and Jo Ann at the reservations desk said it was rather late to reserve a couple of seats as the food needed to be ordered and prepared. She put me on hold and checked with the chef. When she came back on the phone, she said she could fit us in. Whew! I was so happy that I'd be able to spend some time with my friend, and that it all worked out in the end.
On my way to the luau, I ran into another friend, Kehau, who works with Sheraton Hotels. I took a couple of minutes to share my reservations story with her. She told me she was glad it all worked out, and that I'd have a great time at the Tihati production Creation - A Polynesian Journey.
The food was great, and it was an excellent show. My friends enjoyed the entire experience and especially how much the dancers were into their performance. I enjoyed being able to share the joy with my friends who said they had the best time.
Thank you to all the professionals at the Sheraton, especially Jo Ann, Kehau and the chef. Here's to more aloha in the future of the state of Hawaii.
Linda Dela Cruz
Dear Linda,
Kehau Kam is so happy you enjoyed Tihati's show. "I recommend Creation to everyone. This show brings you back through history to the time of our ancestors. I'm glad Linda was able to see it with her friends."

Several weeks ago I saw this photo on Pinterest. The pinner CLAIMED they'd grown them from some green onion ends they'd simply submerged in water. No way. That can't possibly be true. As a matter of fact….I'll PROVE it!
Here are MY green onion "leftovers" from making "Those (Funeral) Potatoes" that I stuck in a small mason jar a couple of weeks ago.
And here are the same green onion "leftovers" just the other day! See, I told you they would grow! ;-)
haha. I am very happy to "eat my words" with regards to this "myth". You indeed can "re-grow" green onions!
As you can see, I now have THREE crops of green onions going. They're fun to watch grow (they will grow about an inch in just a few days), they look so nice on my kitchen windowsill, and BEST OF ALL they add delicious flavor to a myriad of dishes!
Tonight I threw some into the omelets I made for dinner…and last week I used my first ever "harvest" of them to make my Mom's Cheese Bread!
As long as I can remember I've loved this bread! It takes simple "garlic bread" to a whole new level of deliciousness. And it's super simple to make.
Mom's Cheese Bread
From the kitchen of Mom
1 loaf french bread, sliced lengthwise (the loaf I bought was so "fat", as you can see in the pictures, that I ended up doubling this recipe)
3 Tablespoons chopped green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl, then spread out on sliced french bread. Place bread onto a foil lined baking sheet and cook at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. (Keep an eye on it after about 10 minutes). Allow to cool for a few minutes and slice.
This is really delicious with spaghetti, lasagna, etc. (Or if you are me, you can make a meal out of just this!)

© Photograph by Edith Tudor-Hart
Drying Room, Pit-head Baths, Ashington Colliery, Northumberland Photographed about 1937
Not on display
This photograph was used to illustrate an up-beat investigative article about Tyneside published in the 'Geographical Magazine' in 1937. The author sought to dispel the image of the blackened miner deep underground and Ashington, a comparatively modern mine, was held up as a model for the future. The coal districts of the North East were not "bleak or cheerless" and Ashington resembled "rather a modern factory for the production of cosmetics than a colliery". However, none of Tudor-Hart's photographs of working miners were reproduced in the article and it is unclear whether she approved of its rather sanitised editorial line.
