Updated Background Screening Process
"To comply with new federal and state requirements, the department has revised the background screening process for individuals who have resided outside of Florida at some point in the last five years. Below is a summary of the new process, which authorizes provisional hiring based on certain criteria.
As always, we greatly appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we incorporate this additional layer of protection for the health and safety of our children. The department will continue to coordinate with our federal and local partners as we streamline the process for out of state checks.
Department staff are available to answer questions or assist with Clearinghouse access and account set up. For direct assistance, please contact Background Screening Help Desk at 1-888-352-2842 or send an email to background screening unit at this link.
Updated Background Screening Process
Instructions for Child Care Owner/Operator/Employers are outlined below.
More details and links to instructions for each step are available online at www.myflfamilies.com/backgroundscreening.
- Complete a search for the individual in the Background Screening Clearinghouse.
- For individuals who are already in the Clearinghouse:
- If the individual's status is "DCF Child Care Eligible" – add individual to roster and proceed to steps 2 - 5.
- If the Clearinghouse indicates an "Agency Review" is required – select "Initiate Agency Review" (no cost)
- If the individual has had a break in service for more than 90 days or needs to be rescreened by May 2017 – select "Initiate Resubmission"
- For individuals who are not in the Clearinghouse:
- Select "Initiate Screening."
- Schedule a fingerprinting through a Clearinghouse-compatible Live Scan Vendor.
- Check criminal records for every state the individual has lived outside of Florida in the last five years. Forward results to the DCF Background Screening Unit for review.
- Check child abuse and neglect registry for every state outside of Florida the individual has lived in for the last five years.
- Check sexual offender/predator registry for every state outside of Florida the individual has lived in for the last five years.
- Check employment history with each employer for whom the individual has worked in the last five years. Try at least three times to contact the employer, and keep records of these contacts for your files.
Pending Results from Out-of-State Records – While you are waiting for the out of state results, if the individual meets the Florida Level 2 screening requirements, DCF may grant provisional hiring status for 45 days while the out-of-state check is pending. During provisional employment, the individual must be in the line of sight of an employee who has already met all screening/training requirements.
- DCF's Background Screening Unit will issue an eligible or non-eligible result for employment through the Clearinghouse upon completion of searches and results from other states, if applicable.
Note: Keep a copy, on-site at the child care program, of documentation of all elements in the process in the individual's personnel file for review by the licensing authority."

Dear Child Care Provider:
On November 19, 2014, the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 was signed into law.

The new federal requirements required changes to Florida law governing screening for child care employment. Beginning July 1, 2016, new elements will be included in a background screening for all child care personnel, which include searches of the National Sex Offender Registry, state criminal records, state sex offender registries, and child abuse and neglect registries of all states in which the child care personnel resided during the preceding five years.
Action steps are being updated and will be available shortly.

Deadly Danger: Infants on Air Mattresses
CPSC has received reports of 40 infant suffocation deaths in the last five years, of infants who were placed to sleep on air mattresses. Infants can suffocate on an air mattress or can become entrapped between the mattress and bed frame or mattress and wall. Never place infants to sleep on air mattresses or other soft surfaces (such as water beds and adult beds), which are not specifically designed or safe for infant use. Even properly-inflated air mattresses are usually too soft for infants to maintain a clear airway. For a safer space for baby use a crib or play yard that has a firm, tight-fitting mattress and tight fitting bottom sheet without any blankets, bumpers, pillows or stuffed animals.
- Never place infants ages 15 months old and younger to sleep on an inflatable air mattress
- Always place baby to sleep on his or her back in a crib or play yard that meets current standards
The Deadly Danger Air Mattress poster is easy to download and print, email or post for sharing with those you care about.

New Child Care Law Changes
On November 19, 2014, the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 was signed into law. The new law prescribes health and safety requirements that apply to school readiness program providers and requires that more information be available to parents and the general public about child care choices.
The federal government works with states to support low-income working families by providing access to child care through the federal CCDBG. Florida uses CCDBG funds for its school readiness program. The school readiness program provides subsidies for child care services and early childhood education for children of low-income families, children in protective services who are at risk of abuse, neglect, or abandonment, and children with disabilities. Families use these subsidies to purchase child care services from school readiness providers. In many cases, these child care facilities are regulated by the Department of Children and Families' Child Care program. The state must implement these requirements to continue receiving CCDBG funding.[1]
While Florida's school readiness programs meet many of the new federal requirements, some changes to Florida law governing the program were necessary. One change needed was an increase in the elements for screening all child care personnel to include searches of the National Sex Offender Registry, state criminal records, state sex offender registries, and child abuse and neglect registries of all states in which the child care personnel resided during the preceding five years.
During the 2016 Florida legislative session, laws were amended to assist with the implementation of newly prescribed federal law. Below are two laws that have an impact on child care programs:
HB 1125 Relating to Eligibility for Employment as Child Care Personnel: This bill amended section 435.07, Florida Statutes, (HB 1125 – Chapter 2016-98, Laws of Florida), to make the new CCDBG background screening requirements apply to all child care personnel regardless of whether their employer receives federal CCDBG funding. The bill prohibits the Department of Children and Families from granting exemptions for employment as child care personnel to persons who have been:
- Registered as a sex offender as described in 42 U.S.C. s. 9858f(c)(1)(C) and are subject to the registration requirements under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act; or
- Arrested for and are awaiting final disposition of, found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, or entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, or have been adjudicated delinquent and the record has not been sealed or expunged, for certain state felonies and misdemeanors enumerated in the bill that are aligned with the crimes listed in the federal requirements.[2]
HB 7053 Relating to Child Care and Development Block Grant Program: This bill requires that school readiness program providers must meet a minimum level of health and safety and receive at least one annual inspection. The Department of Children and Families and/or the local licensing agency, as applicable, will conduct inspections to determine compliance with the school readiness program provider standards through exercise of their discretionary power to enforce compliance with the laws. The authority to inspect includes access to facilities, personnel, and records. A school readiness program provider that refuses entry or inspection shall have its provider contract terminated. School readiness providers must: provide more information to the public to promote informed child care choices; provide training on child care development research and best practices and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training; provide an appropriate group size as well as an appropriate staff-to-child ratio; and employ child care personnel who have satisfied the screening requirements of Chapter 402, Florida Statutes, and fulfilled the training requirements of the Office of Early Learning.[3]
If you have any questions on the new law changes, you may contact your local licensing office.

Background Screening Requirements for Membership Organizations
Governor Scott signed into law SB 7078 Relating to Child Welfare.

What Early Care and Education Providers and Families Should Know About Enterovirus D68
The Administration for Children and Families has received questions from Head Start and child care programs about recent news reports of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) spreading across the country. Infecting about 10 to 15 million Americans each year, enteroviruses are very common, especially during the summer and fall months. Infants and children are more susceptible to infection due to developing immune systems and the lack of prior exposure to viruses. Pregnant women also have a greater chance of being infected but will only develop mild or no symptoms. In fact, most people who acquire enteroviruses do not get sick. However, EV-D68 can cause mild-to-severe respiratory illness. Children with asthma could have a higher risk for severe respiratory illness caused by EV-D68 infection.
Similar to the common cold, mild symptoms can include fever, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and body and muscle aches. Severe symptoms can include wheezing and difficulty in breathing. Some individuals could develop heart or brain infections or even become paralyzed.
You can get infected with enteroviruses by having close contact with an infected person who coughs or sneezes. You can also get infected by touching objects or surfaces that have the virus on them and then by touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Currently, there is no specific treatment, antiviral medication, or vaccine for people with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. For mild respiratory illness, symptoms can be relieved with over-the-counter medications for pain and fever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Aspirin should not be given to children. Individuals with severe respiratory illness might need to be hospitalized.
You can help prevent yourself from getting and spreading EV-D68 and other respiratory illnesses by following these steps.
- Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact, such as kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils, with people who are sick.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or shirt sleeve, not your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs.
- Stay home when you are sick.

New Behavioral Observation and Screening Course
Child Care Providers:
Please see the attached flyer announcing the release of an updated version of the Child Care Training Course, Behavioral Observation and Screening (BOSR).
The new 6-hour online and instructor-led Behavioral Observation and Screening (BOSR) course will replace the existing 6-hour online and instructor-led course Behavioral Observation and Screening (BOAS) course effective July 1, 2014.
Individuals who have successfully completed the current 6-hour Behavioral Observation and Screening (BOAS) course or the old 10-hour Behavioral Observation and Screening course (BOS) do not have to retake the courses. The certificates reflecting completion of the previous courses will continue to appear on the child care training transcript. However, individuals who have already received credit for the old courses may choose to take the new course to earn in-service credit and Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

vaccine yes or no??????
(256 Posts)Hi, i would like to know your opinions about vaccine please. I decide to dont let my 3 years old daughter have the vaccine and i was wondering if there are other mums that think the same as me
which vaccine are you talking about?
Very generally speaking the possible/rumoured side effects of any vaccine are far less serious/likely than the side effects of the disease itself.
its the MMR vaccine and to be honest i dont like any others at all, i read the side effects and i dont think that there are less serious, plus they dont tell us whats inside the vaccine and more
sits back and watches
Popcorn any one?
If she has three has she not already had her first dose of MMR?
<awaits this one to take off>
What side effects are you concerned about?
Have you ever seen a child with measles, mumps or rubella? I am old enough to have, and they aren't nice diseases.
There is a vaccination topic, maybe you could read that?
You can get full ingredients lists of all vaccines - was there a specific ingredient you were worried about?
Do a search in children's health for LOTS of discussions about the MMR vaccine.
this isn't a real post. I smell a journalist rat....
Then there are all those children genuinely unable to have the injection ... Who rely on the 'herd immunity'
mon what exactly are the MMR side effects?
Because measles can cause death. How on earth is that "less serious" than something you think MMR can give you?
You may find you get more sympathy/understanding if you posted in the Vaccination topic, but not much.
Please feel free to link to the research that you've done.
fleshwound indeed. My DS is reliant on herd immunity. I understand sometimes there are good reasons not to vaccinate but threads like this really test my patience.
Cracks open a can
Yep, this will kick off.
Things never to discuss;
Cat indoor/outdoor debate.
people go and read the ingridients of the vaccine, alluminiom is a metal and not good for the bodies, other poison stuff, also even if you are vaccinate you can get the illnesses, i dont want people be rude i just want to know what people think about it, my daughter had the first mmr vaccine but i didnt know what was goin on
MMr doesn't have aluminium in, your every day food does and it is breastmilk and formula.
vaccine here some bedtime reading on the mmr vaccine
<buys a popcorn making machine>
If your daughter has no reaction to the first vaccine she is unlikely to have no reaction to the second.
The side effects of the diseases it protects against ate both common and serious.
Oh dear mercola Please
produce in chick embryo cells,
produce in WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts (aborted human embryo tissue),

OAK BROOK, ILL. — Net income at TreeHouse Foods, Inc. in the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2011, totaled $94,407,000, equal to $2.64 per share on the common stock, up 4% from $90,919,000, or $2.59 per share, during fiscal 2010. Sales for the year were $2,049,985,000, up 13% from $1,817,024,000 during the previous year.
"We believe that changing customer dynamics, continued consumer weakness as well as unseasonably warm weather hurt our top line in the quarter," said Sam K. Reed, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Having completed a detailed review of our category margins and channels of distribution, we believe that the shift toward alternate channels like club, limited assortment and dollar stores had a secondary effect on our margins in the quarter. The 290 basis point decline in gross margins was due to higher costs in our pickle business and operating inefficiencies at some of our plants due to unexpected volume and mix changes."
For the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, the company had income of $29,864,000, or 83c per share, up 6% from $28,081,000, or 79c per share, during the same quarter of the previous year. Sales for the quarter were $535,802,000, up 5% from $509,463,000.

More than 12 punished for attack on Doctors Without Borders' Afghan hospital
More than a dozen U.S. military personnel have been disciplined — but face no criminal charges — for mistakes that led to the bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital that killed 42 people in Afghanistan last year, U.S. defense officials say.
US forces disciplined but not charged for striking @MSF hospital in #Kunduz. US (in)action strengthens case for independent investigation.
— Jenny McAvoy (@McAvoyJenny) March 16, 2016
The punishments, which have not been publicly announced, are largely administrative. But in some cases the actions, such as letters of reprimand, are tough enough to effectively end chances for further promotion. The military has previously said some personnel were suspended from their duties but has given no further details.
The disciplined include both officers and enlisted personnel, but officials said none are generals.
The officials, who were not authorized to discuss the outcomes publicly and so spoke on condition of anonymity, said the disciplinary process is nearly complete. It is derived from a military investigation of the Oct. 3, 2015 attack, the results of which are expected to be made public in a partially redacted form in coming days.
Sandra Murillo, a spokeswoman for Doctors Without Borders, said the charity would not comment on disciplinary actions until the Pentagon communicates its decisions directly to the group or makes a public announcement.
The hospital, run by the medical charity Doctors Without Borders in the northern city of Kunduz, was attacked by a U.S. Air Force special operations AC-130 gunship, one of the most lethal in the U.S. arsenal. Doctors Without Borders called the attack "relentless and brutal" and demanded an international investigation, but none has been undertaken.
Army Gen. John Campbell, who was the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan at the time but has since relinquished command, has called it a "tragic but avoidable accident caused primarily by human error."
Until proven otherwise #Kunduz attack amounts to inexcusable violation of IHL. We are working on presumption of a war crime #MSF
— Dr Joanne Liu (@JoanneLiu_MSF) October 6, 2015
#Kunduz attack does not just touch @MSF but humanitarian work everywhere & fundamentally undermines core principles of humanitarian action
— Dr Joanne Liu (@JoanneLiu_MSF) October 6, 2015
The attack was unleashed as U.S. military advisers were helping Afghan forces retake Kunduz, which had fallen to the Taliban on Sept. 28. It was the first major city to fall since the Taliban were expelled from Kabul in 2001.
Afghan officials claimed the hospital had been overrun by the Taliban, but no evidence of that has surfaced. The hospital was destroyed and Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French acronym, MSF, ceased operations in Kunduz.
President Barack Obama apologized for the attack, which was one of the deadliest assaults on civilians in the 15-year war.

— Mashable News (@MashableNews) October 4, 2015
The U.S. command in Kabul said in February that it has expressed condolences and offered payment to more than 140 families and individuals affected by the attack.
In November, the U.S. military provided an outline of what happened. It said the crew of the AC-130 gunship, which is armed with side-firing cannons and guns, had been dispatched to hit a Taliban command center in a different building, 450 yards away from the hospital. However, hampered by problems with their targeting sensors, the crew relied on a physical description that led them to begin firing at the hospital even though they saw no hostile activity there.
Many chances to avert the error were missed, officials said.
At a November news conference, Brig. Gen. Wilson Shoffner, a spokesman for Campbell, said the actions taken by the U.S. aircrew were "not appropriate" to the threat they faced, suggesting that a number of them could be faulted.

— Doctors w/o Borders (@MSF_USA) October 3, 2015
Campbell and Shoffner said that neither the U.S. Special Forces commander who called in the strike at the request of Afghan forces, nor the U.S. aircrew, was aware that a hospital was being hit until it was too late.
The main U.S. military investigation was completed on Nov. 15 but has not yet been publicly released. U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and across the greater Mideast, rejected in December an AP Freedom of Information Act request for the report, which it said was approximately 5,000 pages long.
A separate U.S. report on the incident, obtained last fall by The Associated Press, said the AC-130 aircraft fired 211 shells at the hospital compound over 29 minutes before commanders realized the mistake and ordered a halt.Doctors Without Borders officials contacted coalition military personnel during the attack to say the hospital was "being 'bombed' from the air," and the word finally was relayed to the AC-130 crew, the report said.

With a significant part of the g1 plate curves above its plate dissipation, I'd want to run it at lower g2 voltages. beyond that, it looks like a fine audio tube. If you've got a linestage with balanced output a *VERY* simple amp can be built with just a two-tube, PP power stage. Looks like an easy 6-8W to mee...:) wishing I had several of them myself. cheers, Douglas |
:Well I was thinking about using it as a driver for a 813.
I know it's probably a bit over the top but I think it would look cool to have a ll the tube have plate caps. Oh and ya my linestage does have balanced outputs too LOL, how'd you know :D Nick |
The 8608 is an E55L / 8233 with plate caps .
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tubes-valves/25479-e55l-triode-driver.html Regards , Alexander . |
Does anyone have a load line draw up for either of these tubes?
Thanks, Nick |
813 driver sounds cool...:) I am driving mine with a 6H6Pi/FQP1N60 cascode. Let me suggest for you E-Linear at 20-25%, B+ of ~600 to plate and screen( the 813's ), and an 8k a-a load. 8608 g2 around 75V, with plate loads of 15-20k and idle current 15-20 mA per. Or you could build a 'scope and use them for horizontal outputs. cheers, Douglas |
I was going for 1kv on the plate of the 813 and running 6500 ohm plate load.
The idea has been in the works for a while it's just changing the driver tube is something new. Oh this is a se amp though, not a push pull. I was toying with that idea a while back just didn't have the room LOL. Nick |
A nice tube for a 1-tube hybrid amp!
I would use it triode strapped, gyrator loaded, to drive MOSFET source follower. |
Gyrator loaded, I've never heard of that one. But then again there's a lot in this obsession I haven't learned yet.

The Next Big Thing Identify the "next big stock" or "next iPod" and get rich! Well, even Ms. Cleo can't predict that, so an easier route is to spot upcoming trends such as the recent oil surge. Easier said than done. I have been looking for a place to park some money for the long term, and I have come across a few trends which have the potential to explode in value: 1.) Water. Kirk absolutely loves water stocks, and for good reason. In scarce supply, drinking water is more valuable than gold, oil and money because it is vital to our existence yet taken for granted. With a rapidly increasing world population and a mass exodus of people moving towards large, condensed cities, Kirk's long term positions on water make tons of sense. I have a feeling that water companies in countries with current severe water problems would fair better than American companies. 2.) Batteries. Battery technology has always lagged behind the technology sector, and everyone is just about fed up. We need some fuel supply for our mega-capable portable devices of today that can last for weeks, months, years at a time without recharge. On some phones the largest component is the battery. On laptops the heaviest component is the battery. As a laptop user I abhor "plugging in". In a world which is getting increasingly portable, the market for long-lasting, reliable, relatively affordable power supplies is HUGE HUGE HUGE. Any advice on how to catch this wave? I am looking towards some fuel cell technologies and Energizer (ENR). Drop me some sector fund names if you know any that concentrate on portable energy. 3.) Nanotech. That term is so vague and can be applied in so many areas that it's basically a crap-shoot trying to pick the right stocks without vigorously keeping up with the sector. Since that is not my plan, I will soon invest in a nanotechnology fund. Holding this for a long period of time (10-15 years at least) could prove profitable as new breakthroughs occur and people start pouring more money into the sector. The key here is to get in at a time when nanotech is not in the news for a while. BUT….nanotech has been a buzzword for quite sometime, and lots of people have lost lots of money investing in it so far. Start looking for companies who are turning their research into actual products, because companies that do only research make no money. Look for nanotech to appear in places you would never expect. Here is a Forbes article on best nanotech products.Right now it seems sports products have caught the nano bug already, I expect to see it in the luxury goods area in a few years. Being creative, I imagine new nanotech fabrics, creams, materials etc. will start to appear in these places: High end, ultra-warm yet THIN winter coats. New, ultra-luxurious interior fabrics for luxury cars All over the exterior of cars in the form of scratch resistant body panels, rain-resistant windsheilds, super-road-hugging tires Some sort of new material to use on paper currency making it much more difficult to counterfeit Ultra-thin yet ultra-effective insulations for pipes, cables etc. These are the types of things I expect to see in the upcoming years. I can go on forever, but you get the point. Nanotech can be used in countless areas, some areas which most likely no one even knows about yet. Back in 1960, who would have thought silicon would become so widely used? 9 Comments About Neville NevBlog.com - Tracking the road to financial success from the age of 22 (now 27).

wannabe_ceo March 26, 2005 at 2:27 am easier said that done is right. There was a good article saying most people don't really have a clue when investing. Reply ↓
Neville March 26, 2005 at 6:29 am A quick "water stocks" search of The Kirk Report returns the following page: http://www.thekirkreport.com/2004/07/water_stocks.html On it, the following water stocks are included: Watts Water Technologies (WTS)Ionics (ION)Cuno (CUNO)Pentair (PNR) Reply ↓
Alpha March 26, 2005 at 8:28 pm MSN Money wrote an article on water shortage/water stocks a few months ago.It was pretty interesting, especially the part of the chance of having an OPEC-like organization for water.Here's the link: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/P102152.asp Reply ↓
Neville March 26, 2005 at 9:29 pm Pretty interesting article Jason, thanks! At some point I def. have to get into water. I will be adding some more money to my stock portfolio soon, and water will be at the top of my hit list. Reply ↓
Anonymous March 29, 2005 at 1:53 pm Neville, Another variant play in this sector relates to terrorism and water security. JMAR Technologies Inc. (JMAR) is in the process of launching the BioSentry Waterborne Microorganism Monitor, a laser-based early-warning system to provide continuous, real time surveillance, detection and identification of waterborne microorganisms. Typical installations will consist of multiple, laser-illuminated sensor units, configured and networked to meet the specific needs of bottled water suppliers, water treatment plants, waterdistribution systems, and critical facilities. With more than 50,000 water utilities in the U.S. , 1,500 bottled water companies, and 90,000 major buildings, the total market for BioSentry is expected to be greater than $500 million. Reply ↓
Jack Miller April 1, 2005 at 4:03 am The better buy is what few others would touch. The legacy airlines are extremely cheap. The price to revenue ratios are incredible. The operating leverage is huge. If Delta survives you might see a 10 bagger in 6 or 7 years. You could easily see 4 or 5 baggers in "relatively safe" AMR or CAL. Reply ↓

I hung shears yesterday. And drapes. On the new curtain rods I put up. I am SO handy.
We continue with our remodel of the house in order to make living quarters for Grannie, but we are also modifying other areas of the house, although not to the same degree as the family room. When we are done, Grannie will not have to do stairs in her day to day activities.
As soon as all this work is done, I will be able to restart my Art projects - given that "My Little Corner of the World" is actually in a corner of the family room that happens to be rather crowded at the moment with stuff that's "out of the way".
Hmmm. Out of whose way?

I am just impressed with your renaissance skills, Lou... I wonder if you were drafted or if you went into the service of your own accord...
I am sure that Grannie will appreciate that stairs will not be a "must traverse" thing as she moves about the house..! - 9/23/12, 12:07 AM

If you ever want to branch out and do remodeling for a new career, I have a dining room that needs help. Just throwing that out there.

remodelling is just art on a bigger scale.

I am looking for a rubber or such like skin that is good quality, fits right and has grip. Links would be great. I am willing to spend a bit for quality but if there are any cheap ones people can recommend... thanks
I bought the Belkin Clear Grip Vue for $29 USD. (Found it cheapest on eBay -some places it's as high as $49.) I believe there are three color choices - I went with clear. Then I also bought some cheap TPU cases on eBay. (Same material as the Belkin.) They work okay, but you can definitely tell the difference in quality. The Belkin case is thicker, tougher and grip-ier, and the material is more likely to hold its form. The cheap cases look okay but the material is pretty thin and likely to stretch out of shape, especially along the bottom, where there is just a thin strip of plastic around the USB port. If you search on eBay for silicon cases similar to the Belkin, do a search for "iPad TPU case." I bought a few cheap TPU cases in case I wanted to switch things up but now that I have them all in hand, it's more likely I'll just leave the Belkin on.
awesome. I've ordered the belkin clear grip vue. The videos and reviews confirmed your view. Pay a little more for quality I say! thanks
Do you interested in the case with built-in keyboard,and Material is leather?you can visit our website www.hkktec.com to know it. regards

Blu-ray Sales: G.I. Joe Waves the Red, White, and Blu
October 23rd, 2013
New releases were more prevalent on the August 4th, 2013 edition of the Blu-ray sales chart than they were on the DVD sales chart. G.I. Joe: Retaliation again led the way with 585,000 units / $11.67 million for an opening week Blu-ray share of 52%. Granted, this is a near perfect film for Blu-ray (visually intensive action film aimed at a Fanboy audience) but this is still an impressive result.
Likewise, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox was another perfect Blu-ray release; in fact, it has a niche Fanboy audience, so it is even better for Blu-ray. It sold 86,000 units and generated $1.20 million in sales for an opening week Blu-ray share of 58%. Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection jumped up to third place with 55,000 units / $1.37 million for the week giving it a total of 121,000 units / $4.14 million in total. It was put on sale the same week Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season Four came out and it overshadowed that release. 42 was next with 35,000 units / $797,000 for the week and 345,000 units / $8.06 million after three. This is a solid run for a drama. Despicable Me rounded out the top five with 17,000 units / $322,000 for the week, giving it totals of 2.50 million units / $60.68 million.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season Four was the next best new release with 10,000 units / $620,000 in sales, which was enough for eighth place. The only other new release to chart was Star Trek: The Next Generation: Redemption, which landed in 16th pace with 8,000 units / $104,000.

In 1834, at the age of 6, Elias Jackson Baldwin and his mother, father and three siblings moved from Hamilton, Ohio, to an 80-acre farm in Terre Coupee Town, Indiana.
When I first found myself in Chicago, back in the autumn of 1987, it was by pure chance. The first of many on my racing travels.
Horse racing is full of its own special words and expressions. Sometimes it's hard to understand. What does "Group Races" mean? And what is a "Black Type Pedigree?"
Now you can stop wondering;
The early years
In 1767 injured british soldier William Johnson was taken to the springs of Saratoga by his Native American friends, where the local water was said to heal his wounds.
Palio di Siena
Two times per year the medieval city of Siena in Italy explodes in a symphony of horses, riders and colors in a way that can make the Derbies of today seem like tea parties for grandmothers.
TRUE COLOURS – your design on your horse
Formula 1 cars. Soccer teams. Corporations. Everyone's got identifying colours today. But the tradition of colours may be the oldest in horse racing. Racing authorities require that every horse owner registers a unique colour-and-pattern combination, called silks.

Across the US, a decade of shale-based oil and gas production has created another growth industry — sand mining.
According to a new report from the US Geological Survey, the US continues to be the world leader in frac sand production.
Though hydraulic fracturing (fracking) was not new to the oil and gas drilling industry, it was Mitchell Energy & Development in the 1990s that first used fracking to break up shale (a 250-foot-thick layer of impermeable shale rock in the Barnett formation near Fort Worth).
That company proved that volumes of natural gas could flow freely from fracked layers of shale, setting the stage (with EOG Resources' adoption of horizontal drilling technology) for the boom in developing North American shale plays (Bakken, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, and others) in recent years.
Fracking with horizontal drilling has enabled the discovery of more than 1,000 trillion cu. ft. of gas and tens of billions of barrels of oil across the US.
A key ingredient in the fracking process is the use of proppants — solid materials, typically sand or man-made ceramic materials, that keep a hydraulic fracture open during fracturing activities to release oil and gas from the shale.
While ceramic materials and even a hard little bean from India called guar are also used as proppants, the most readily available source for US drillers is sand, in particular highly pure silica sand from deposits in the Upper Midwest.
The US is the largest producer and consumer of frac sand in the world, with nearly 70% of 2014 domestic production coming from the Great Lakes Region, primarily Wisconsin and Minnesota, where the premium sand is known an Northern White (with a high silica content, crush resistant, and with a low solubility).
Texas is also a major player (although the Texas frac sand, known as Brady sand, is of slightly lower quality). Additional secondary frac sand sources are located in Oklahoma and Arizona.
Wisconsin leads the country, producing 24 million metric tons in 2014. Since 2010, Wisconsin has gone from five frac sand mines and five processing plants to 63 mines and 45 processing facilities (as well as another 27 railroad loading facilities for shipping sand across the US).
The massive increase in fracking over the past few years has caused the US frac sand industry to take off. According to the report, the $2.2 billion North American frac sand market is expected to expand almost 9% by the end of 2016.
As with the US chemicals industry (which has benefited by tapping the supply of the liquid by-products of shale gas drilling to build new chemical plants), the shale boom has created another winner — the sand mining industry.
