Experts and the American public agree that our health system is ailing:
• Costs are too high and still growing rapidly.
• Millions of people lack access to care.
• The United States lags behind many other developed nations on several measures of quality.
• The costs of publicly funded health programs put immense pressure on federal and state budgets.
In fact, the single greatest challenge to federal budgets in the future is not defense spending, Social Security deficits or pork-barrel projects. It is the rapid rise in health care costs. Unless that is addressed, we will face the prospect of large tax increases or an even higher national debt.
As health care debates have dominated the agenda in Washington, a group of Iowa experts has also been contemplating much-needed reform over the past several months. This group, the Iowa Committee for Value in Healthcare, has determined that reform efforts must focus on achieving greater value in our health care system.
The committee responded to evidence showing that the U.S. spends substantially more per person on health care than other countries do. Yet we do not always get better results for our higher spending. Even within this country, some regions have higher spending than others without significant differences in outcomes.
To help inform the national discussion, the committee picked five key principles for spending health care dollars more wisely. These principles are based on Iowa's record of high-value care.
The Iowa committee is part of the Fiscal Stewardship Project hosted by The Concord Coalition, a non-partisan grassroots organization dedicated to fiscal and generational responsibility. The Concord Coalition believes that citizens and community leaders -- when presented with the facts and given a chance to work through a wide range of fiscal policy options and trade-offs -- are willing to contribute realistic solutions to the nation's challenges.
The Iowa committee conducted its business under a two-fold premise:
• The continued rise in costs makes our current health system unsustainable, and
• This group could make a unique and significant contribution to the national debate by drawing on the experience of committee members working in a high-value system.
The committee strongly believes that national reform can, and must, lead to a system that produces higher-value care while increasing access to that care. Is all the rhetoric on Capitol Hill in line with the committee's principles? Not completely. More needs to be done to ensure that reform is fiscally responsible -- not just over the next 10 years but far into the future.
However, aspects of both the House and Senate versions of reform are aligned with the Iowa committee's principles. There is emphasis on primary care and supporting the accountable care and medical home models. Chronic care management, and prevention and wellness to minimize disease, are also supported.
Congress and the president should add more improvements that can help transform the system within a fiscally responsible framework.
The committee's final report outlines evidence and numerous examples of Iowa practices that support the five principles. This report will be released at 9 a.m. Monday at the Embassy Suites in Des Moines. The public and media are invited to attend the conference, where they can learn more about this report and participate in a conversation with Iowa committee members.
The discussion will be lead by Michael Millenson, a nationally recognized health quality expert and author. For more information and to register for this free event, see the calendar page at www.public-health.uiowa.edu.
Sara Imhof is the Midwest regional director for the Concord Coalition.

Hey all,
I know this probably won't register with most folks, except those in the military, but I just found out I got an assignment! :D
I'll be heading over to Kunsan AB, Korea in June, 2008! The assignment will be for 12 months, then hopefully I'll get my choice of follow-on assignments to Langley AFB, VA.
I've been stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson since July 2004, and my wife has never really liked AZ. (She's a "beach baby" having lived most of her life in Virginia ;)) So this is pretty exciting for us. :thumbsup
I don't relish the idea of being apart from my wife for a year, but as a lot of military folks understand, doing a "remote tour" is the quickest way to get where you want to go.
Just excited and wanted to share. :)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
DrChop gave the best advice,have a magnet around you at all times in your shop.
If you feel like you have gotten something in your eye..DO NOT RUB IT..I know its a natural thing to so but but not only will you scratch your eye up bad but you have a great chance of embedding something in your eye that will require surgery to remove.
Being an Ironworker I deal with this daily,we always have an eye flushing system somewere nearby,thats the best thing to do FIRST,flush it out with clean water as best you can,then use the magnet to pull out any steel slithers
As far as grinding dust the flushing is about the only way to get it out because it is a carbon dust from the grinding wheels
Goggles are a pain in the arse because of them fogging up but they are the BEST protection
I use my welding shield for grinding with tight fitting safety glasses behind it,most welding sheilds have a flip up lense for grinding or chipping slag off after a weld,a weld sheild surrounds your face,under the chin & somewhat around the top of your head & ive found out they work better then most clear face sheilds
ALWAYS think safety in no matter what you are doing,I know a few guys who had the attitude"just git r dunnn!..& didnt take that extra minute or less to be safe & now those guys have to deal with learning to see out of one eye
In my line of work we have a thing called S.T.A.R...
Stop & think about what you are going to do,safety issues and planning the best way to do it
Think about your surroundings & if you are going to hurt anyone nearby,or even destroy something else in the surrounding area or start a fire while welding or grinding
Act in the situation with a clear & focused mind on what you are doing
Reveiw the whole thing in your mind what you have done & 99% of the time you'll figure out you probably could of done it easier,safer & more sufficeint than you did,next time you do this task you'll be better experienced & know what to do to make it better next time
FIRST thing in ANYTHING you do is..SAFETY,i dont think YOU or your family would really enjoy havin you lose a limb,eye.etc or even have to be at your funeral because you was being a tough guy & just"git r dunn"
I get stuff in my eyes sometimes. I have a good powerful neodymium magnet stuck to the side of my toolbox. It's about the size of a quarter yet it will lift 30 pounds. Works great for the metal chips/slivers.
Does'nt do anything for the grinding dust off the little cutoff wheels. For that I use a little preventative medicine, and line up what I want to cut, then close my eyes and cut a little bit. I have gotten to the point that 99% of my cuts are dead on the money. Lemme tell you, grinding dust in the eyes is one of the WORST things to have in there, twice as bad as sand....
My plastic-lensed glasses have all kinds of scratches, nicks, and a couple of cutting torch slag pieces embedded in them. All of that stuff got past a full face shield. I have tried the fullface goggles, most times they get steamed up or so covered with garbage that I can't see out of them after 5 minutes...
If you really want to be safe consider the face mask that firefighters use for their airpacks. I am lucky and have a fire dept store close by, there have been times I'll use that and a nomex hood and just run the hose off the mask down inside my sweatshirt collar. Might be worth checking at your local fire department for a mask that is still usable, yet out of date or otherwise past spec for firefighting duties. It's very hard for dirt, rust, or shavings to get past one of those...
I've had to have steel slivers removed from my eyes twice; both times from drilling overhead on a construction job. Those hurt too bad to put off going to the doc. I guess it was due to the ragged edges of the chips from drilling. The first time it happened, reflexes had me rub the eye. Bad move! That just saws more tissue and like Kevin45 said, you nose starts running like crazy. The second time it happened I kept my hands away except to yank off the goggles (company never did provide good ones).
Looks like quite a few folks know what sonicweb has suffered.
Get well soon.
So I am blind in both eyes and stumbling toward the front of the shop to find help and walked right into one of those clamps. It put a big frikken red bindi on my forehead and knocked the clamp off and the door fell on the ground.
That was funny
|So uhh after reading that I think Im going to start wearing safety stuff more....... Kinda scares me now...
I have gotten more stuff in my eyes with face shields and goggles than I have with plain old glasses. One time a peice of gelcoat got under the goggles somehow and in one eye. When I went to pull the goggles off, they slipped out of my hand and snapped back into my other eye. They were covered with grinding dust so that got all jammed into my other eye as well.
I went to the doc in the box and the guy scraped my eyes with a big needle
I went one time with a sliver of steel right in the center. They dug it out with a tweezer and then used a little round bur on a die grinder to grind out any remains of steel that might have stayed and rusted.
I keep q tips in my shop. When I get junk in my eye I just wet the qtip and swab it around on my eye until it catches the chip or whatever and pulls it off. It works 95% of the time.
One time I went to bed and woke up with a sliver in my eye. I guess it was in my hair.
Later, mikey
Good thing is, that once you get the stuff removed the eye is one of the quickest healing parts of the body.
|I think what they use is called a drill (same aws a dentist uses) but instead of drilling the eye itself they use a grinding disc to grind and polish the rust out. If you have a piece of metal inj your eye, you have about a day and a half to get it removed before the rust ring sets in and you will have to see an opthamologist to get it taken care of. Not cheap if you have to pay out of your pocket. The bad thing is that everytime I get metal in my eye is when I have my safety flasses on. Mine are Harley-Davidsons safety glasses and they wrap around the sides and cup towards the top and bottom. Nice fitting glasses and confortable, but it seemm a chip will get behind and bounce off the lens and smack into the 'ole eyeball. Of course within five minutes you have managed to embed it further by trying to get it out, and you eyelid is scratched all to pieces along with the nose starting to run like crazy!!!!
|Yep! Me too! I waited two days and finally went to the doc. The metal was gone but the rusty eyeball had to be drilled out. The lil doc lady said she had never seen such a big guy be such a wimp! I was squirming all over.
|I had to go to the doctor to get steel out of my eye, he put some type of fluid in then shutoff the lights ,black light so he he could see what he was after, I couldn't believe what it felt like to pull small piece off my cornea.Only use tight goggles when grinding after that.Especially lying down lookingup.If you have to wear safety garments at your work place,, use it at home.
|Had the same thing happen to me a while back. Was cutting rotors on the lathe at work without goggles.. I always stood pretty far back though and never looked real close at it while it was making the cut, just stood back and made sure everything was cutting alright. Took a shower that night and my left eye felt a bit irritated but I thought it was just an eyelash bothering me since it does happen alot. Started gettin worse and I looked harder into my eye to see what was wrong and sure enough, a tiny little piece of metal made it into my eye. I managed to pluck it out with some tweezers lol, takes a steady hand and hard to keep your eye open but I managed after a few tries. Although I got the piece out, had to go visit the optimologist to pluck out the rust still in there. It didn't hurt at all though when they took it out and the sooner you get it out, the better because I went right back to work the same day I had them pluck that bastard outta my eye. I wear those ridiculous looking goggles where it basically leaves a mark all around your eyes when you take it off but whatever will keep that crap out is fine with me. I'm really paranoid still about getting crap in my eye.
|Even with glasses or a shield, metal can find ways around or fall into your eye. A guy I use to work with had to go get a piece of metal that had rusted out of his eye, he said they used a little grinder. Guess you will know when you got something in there. He said he didn't even know he had anything in his eye till the next day. Another guy at work just went to the hospital last week after grinding fiberglass and getting some stuck in his eye. Guess its harder for them to see that when its in your eye. I have contacts so they get irritated in my line of work with all the dust, paint, but been lucky haven't had had anything get in my eye which required a trip to the hospital. I did fall asleep with my contacts in years ago and got pink eye. That was miserable and couldn't wear contacts for a few weeks. That tiny little bottle of drops for your eye, antibotic, was $30. I can only imagine how much it would be now with the way costs and health care is today.
I've been working on cars 30+ years - mostly wore my safety stuff and didn't have any problems.
Twice within a 3 month period last year and wearing a full face shield I managed to get junkin my eye for the first time that required visits to the eye doctor.
I waited only 2 days the first one and after the tonque lashing I got from my eye doctor got the second one done immediately. My doctor said the sooner you get it out the better even if I have to call him in for an emergency visit - he said he'd do it. That should tell you how important it is to not wait!
|1931 steve
I learned the hard way three times. Glad its not three times and your out (or in this case blind) All three times had to have the opthamologist remove the metal. My hearing is paying the price also. So many years in the shop and thinking I'm not hurting myself by not wearing the right protective gear

The mats fit right over my carpet mats with no trouble, making it nice and padded. These things don't move either. They are exactly what I was looking for.

Arsène Wenger believes his side are answering the critics with their recent defensive improvements.
Arsenal have won six of their last seven fixtures in all competitions and one of the features of their last two victories – over Marseille and Stoke – has been the scarcity of chances they've allowed the opposition.
"We look more stable defensively and that is good news because we have been questioned a lot in that department," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "If you look at the last games and the chances we gave away you would say we look much stronger defensively.
"We are consistent with our attitude and our motivational level. The spirit of our team is very good and the quality of our play grows from game to game.
"You know before you play against Stoke you could concede one chance and one goal. They are a very efficient team, especially on set-pieces. Overall I felt we coped well with the problems that Stoke usually give us."
The Gunners made it back-to-back Premier League wins against the Potters, to lift themselves up to seventh in the table. After a difficult start to the season Wenger believes his team are beginning to turn the corner but the manager always felt that it was only a matter of time.
"People forget that we had to restart the team to a degree," he said. "Yesterday you had Mertesacker, Santos, Arteta, Gervinho and Ramsey who didn't play last year coming back - you need to reshape the team and get used to playing together.
"I believe that the consciousness of the team discipline is much better now."
The full interview with the boss is now available on Arsenal Player.

SUNY Buffalo State provides an excellent education that prepares students to succeed in life.
Our academic programs have demanding expectations that challenge even the most gifted students. When you add factors such as moving to a new place and adjusting to a roommate, the educational challenge can become harder to face. First-year programs at Buffalo State work to help all Buffalo State students meet our high academic expectations while providing comprehensive support as students adjust to our educational demands and connect to our campus community.
Buffalo State has two programs in its first-year experience: Linked Learn Communities and UNC 100: Mastering the Academic Environment Course. Research on universities around the world shows that students who participate in programs like these tend to get better grades, graduate sooner, and be happier with their college experience overall. This has been the experience here at Buffalo State as well.
Faculty Resources: Did You Know....
University College and the Professional Development Office sponsor professional development workshops for faculty teaching in courses with high enrollments of first-year students. If you would like to suggest ideas and/or contribute to the resource page, please email. Click on the following topics to access timely tips:
Linked Learning Communities
Linked Learning Communities consists of a group of scholars and their professors exploring a common theme. These learning communities are open to all students who want to get the most out of the Buffalo State experience. A cohort of 25 students are enrolled in two linked courses in the fall semester and one course in the fall semester.
UNC 100: Mastering the Academic Environment
UNC 100 provides strategies and lessons for success at Buffalo State. It further develops academic and living skills that are necessary in college life. This course provides an overview of the benefits of a college education, a liberal arts education, and a Buffalo State education. UNC 100 also provides specific information about procedures at Buffalo State that will facilitate students' matriculation. Most importantly, the course teaches strategies and skills that will improve a student's likelihood of academic success.
UNC 100 is a good idea for a student if...
- you are a first generation college student.
- you have never been exposed to the difficulty of college course work.
- you are newly fully independent (not living at home with parents and paying most of your own college expenses).
- you want to give yourself the very best chance at academic excellence
First-Year Honor Society
Alpha Lambda Delta is a national first-year honor society that has existed since 1924 and is well established at many colleges and universities. Our hope is that the Buffalo State chapter will assist our students by helping them find scholarships, opportunities for advanced learning, and community with other high achieving students.
Buffalo State was installed as a chapter of National Alpha Lambda Delta on February 16, 2008.
The Buffalo State Chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta holds general interest meetings for students interested in membership. To be eligible a student must
- have achieved a 3.5 grade point average as full time Buffalo State student during the fall 2007 semester
- have not yet earned thirty credits toward a Buffalo State degree
- The students of Buffalo State's First Year Honor Society committed to pursuing programs on scholarship opportunities, advanced academic opportunities, and community service opportunities. Contact Dr. Holly Quicksey for more information.

Responding to experiments in the Netherlands and the United States in which scientists created a highly transmissible form of the potentially deadly H5N1 bird flu virus, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity urged scientific journals not to publish details of the work out of fear that the information could be used by terrorists. Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and a recipient of a 1996 Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of an Ebola epidemic, responds to questions about the public policy implications of bird flu and bioterrorism. Her latest book, "I Heard the Sirens Scream," offers a detailed account of the 2001 anthrax attacks and the bioterrorism policy actions that resulted.

NPR Welcomes Krikorian's Nativist Dogma In Immigration Debate
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
NPR has decided that anti-immigration activist Mark Krikorian's nativist dogma is worthy enough to be a featured "point of view" in the immigration debate. Never mind that the entirety of Krikorian's solution to the issue involves a scheme where all unauthorized immigrants and their children, American citizens or not, would be given "90 days or ... six months" to "pack up your things ... resolve your affairs" and "go home."
On its website on Thursday, NPR thought to contrast Krikorian's extremist views with those of journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, who recently admitted he is an undocumented immigrant who has been in the United States since he was 12 years old. Vargas' take on immigration reform was highlighted in an interview with the station's Fresh Air program.
Krikorian, the executive director of "low immigration" think tank, the Center for Immigration Studies, and a columnist for National Review Online, explained why Vargas should leave the United States and why the DREAM Act shouldn't apply to immigrants like Vargas. From NPR:
"It's not so much that he's undocumented. It's that he's an illegal immigrant -- he had illegal documents," says Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that advocates a "low immigration, high enforcement" immigration policy. "He came here as a child [but] ... he came here with an identity formed as a Filipino. In other words, he came at 12."
Vargas says he was inspired to write his article after the Senate failed to pass the Dream Act, which would have granted amnesty to people younger than 36 who arrived in the United States as children, have lived here for five years or more and are currently attending college or serving in the military.
But Krikorian says legislation like the Dream Act shouldn't apply to people like Vargas -- because he arrived in the United States at the age of 12.
"The moral case that you can make for the Dream Act -- or something like the Dream Act ... really only applies, it seems to me, to people whose identities have been formed here, who have no memory of any other country, who really are -- as some of the advocates sometimes put it -- are Americans in all but paperwork," he says. "This doesn't really cover a lot of the people who would be covered under the current version of the Dream Act, including Mr. Vargas. The man has real abilities and real skills, and he should go home to his country of citizenship, the country he grew up in for most of his childhood."
Krikorian further stated: "The strongest case you can make for something like the Dream Act is for people who prudence suggests we should allow [to] stay because their identities have been formed here. They really are, psychologically speaking, Americans."
So, according to Krikorian's ridiculous logic, a child who moves here around age 12 will never be, "psychologically speaking," American? I'm sure Madeleine Albright, Patrick Ewing, and a host of others who immigrated here as pre-teens, like me, would have something to say about that. But putting aside the absurd notion that there is a cookie cutter formula to national identity, Krikorian has maintained that immigrants are considered truly American only if they embrace "Anglo-conformity."
Krikorian has previously used immigrant children to spread fears about national security. He has repeatedly suggested that the U.S.-born children of foreign nationals, because they will not be raised in the United States, could one day grow up to become terrorists. For example, referring to the purported practice of foreign women giving birth in the United States so their children will be U.S. citizens, Krikorian said the United States should "turn people down for being pregnant," adding, "Do you really think that's right that somebody here visiting Disneyland should have their children be U.S. citizens, which they'll then inevitably use to get access to the U.S.?"
Writing at NRO, Krikorian cited Anwar al-Awlaki -- the American-born Yemeni cleric who was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison by a judge in Yemen on terrorism-related charges -- to push the notion that it's not "a good idea to give away United States citizenship promiscuously to any child born here to a Latvian tourist or Japanese student or a Mexican Border-Crossing Card holder, who then promptly leaves and raises the child in a foreign country."
While a former FBI agent called the "terror babies" claim "ludicrous," a dubious CIS study based on nothing more than fertility rates claimed that the children of visitors may be "a national security problem in the making." And referring to his call that the State Department deny visa applications to pregnant women, Krikorian told the New York Times in March: "These people aren't doing anything in violation of our laws. ... But if anything, it is worse than illegal immigrants delivering a baby here. Those kids are socialized as Americans. This phenomenon of coming to the U.S. and then leaving with people who have unlimited access to come back is just ridiculous."
Is this really the sort of "point of view" NPR had in mind when it invited Krikorian, the grandson of Armenian immigrants, to sound off on immigration? Media outlets do have an obligation to present both sides of an issue but thinking that giving voice to extremism lends a debate balance is a mistake they too often make.

The tape for lack of a better word is holding well despite the cold / heat from the slide warming up. I just need to get some different targets as all I has was some NRA B3s and it's hard for me to keep good sight picture with irons on those things.

'Ruff said the NHL can learn from some other leagues, "With a phone hearing the max he'll get is five games. In my eyes is that a big message? It's OK. I look at the NFL and the Detroit lineman (Ndamukong Suh) got two games for a six inch kick. He got kicked out of the game and got what would amount to 1/8th of our season which is a 10 game suspension. I think they do it right. I think the message there is we're not putting up with this stuff. I think we need a strong message. Is five strong enough? I don't know."'

Gator Baseball Drops Home Opener to Auburn
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Auburn (30-19/10-15 SEC) tallied three runs in both the fourth and fifth innings and totaled seven runs with two down to defeat Florida (27-24/12-13 SEC), 7-4, on Friday night at McKethan Stadium. Tiger junior left-hander Conner Kendrick (4-3) carried a shutout into the seventh inning before the Gators trimmed the deficit to 6-4. Junior Terrance Dedrick registered four strikeouts over 2.1 scoreless innings to pick up his seventh save of the season. Junior Ryan Tella (2-for-5) broke a scoreless tie with a three-run homer in the fourth, while junior Dan Glevenyak (3-for-5, two runs) and freshman Jordan Ebert (2-for-3, two runs) drove in two runs apiece.
"Credit Auburn's hitters; they put some good swings together," head coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "They were able to score seven runs with two outs. We got some advantage counts from offensive standpoint. On our side, we just didn't put good swings on some pitches and probably chased out of the zone a little bit. Auburn's hitters did a really good job tonight and their starter [Conner Kendrick] kept us off balance. We had a plan coming into the game. We felt like we wanted to get his pitch count up a little bit. It was just one of those nights. We just have to come back ready for tomorrow."
Sophomore Josh Tobias (Greensboro, N.C.) (2-for-4) led off the third inning with his fourth double of the season to the wall in left field for the Gators' first hit of the night. After a comebacker to the mound by freshman Harrison Bader (Bronxville, N.Y.) resulted in Tobias being caught in a run-down between second and third base for the first out, senior Cody Dent (Boynton Beach, Fla.) moved Bader into scoring position with a grounder. FreshmanRichie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) stroked a two-out single into left field but Bader was thrown out at the plate on a strong throw by senior Cullen Wacker.
Tella provided the Tigers with a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning with a two-out, three-run homer to right field. Senior Garrett Cooper (2-for-4) had opened the frame with a single up the middle and junior Jonathon Crawford(Okeechobee, Fla.) (3-6) had junior Patrick Savage hit into a 6-3 double play. Glevenyak singled and Ebert drew a walk before Tella deposited his second homer of the season over the right-field wall.
In the bottom of the stanza, sophomores Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) (2-for-5) and Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.) had consecutive one-out singles to put the Gators in business. Kendrick struck out redshirt sophomoreZack Powers (Seffner, Fla.) and had a fielder's choice by senior Vickash Ramjit (Miami, Fla.) force Gushue at third base for the final out.
Junior Hunter Kelley started the fifth with a walk, ending the night for Crawford (4.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 K, 3 BB). Wacker had a ground ball off of freshman Parker Danciu (Delray Beach, Fla.) that put Kelley on second and redshirt freshman Aaron Rhodes (Venice, Fla.) was summoned from the bullpen. A grounder by Savage gave the Tigers two runners in scoring position and Glevenyak doubled to right field to clear the bases and give the Tigers a 5-0 advantage. Ebert followed with a base-knock into center field to bring home Glevenyak with the sixth run and he was able to take second base on the relay throw to the plate.
Florida pulled to within 6-4 in the seventh on four runs, four hits and an error. Powers reached on a throwing error to begin the inning and went to third base on a one-out single into right field by Tobias. Bader put the Gators on the scoreboard with an RBI single into center field to score Powers for a 6-1 count. Freshman Brady Roberson (Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) delivered a pinch-hit single to right field that loaded the bases and Martin walked to bring home Tobias and prompt a pitching change for Kendrick (6.1 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 ER). Sophomore Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.) greeted sophomore Trey Cochran-Gill with a sacrifice fly into left field that scored Bader for a 6-3 margin and Gushue came through with an RBI single to score freshman pinch runner Christian Dicks (Jacksonville, Fla.) to bring the hosts within 6-4. Dedrick replaced Cochran-Gill (0.1 IP, 1 H) and struck out Shafer to complete the inning.
Junior Daniel Gibson (Lutz, Fla.) took over for Rhodes (2.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 K, 1 BB) prior to the eighth and junior Damek Tomscha reached on a wild pitch after a strikeout with one down. Junior Blake Austin earned a free pass for two runners aboard and a wild pitch gave the Tigers runners on second and third. Kelley was walked intentionally to load the bases and the move paid off when Gibson had a fielder's choice by Wacker force Tomscha at home and then the lefty had Cooper ground out to keep the Gators down by two runs.
Ebert homered with two down in the ninth to left field off of freshman Mike Vinson (Miami, Fla.) to finalize the 7-4 score. Auburn held an 11-8 advantage in hits.
In a meeting of left-handers tomorrow at 7 p.m., freshman Danny Young (Boca Raton, Fla.) (3-4, 3.89) will face Auburn junior Michael O'Neal (8-3, 2.70). The game will be available on GatorVision, while Jeff Cardozo andMick Hubert will call the action for the Gator IMG Sports Network.

JSE Surplus
$135 bushmaster lowers @ JSE they got about 50 in--and their going like hotcakes!
sold OUT! 50 lowers sold out in in 10 minutes!
hell i just barely got one and i found the deal!
That was quick.
They still got some of these; all polymer ones.
GWACS CAV15-MKII AR-15 Polymer Stripped Lower Receiver BLACK
the had rock river lowers too for $140
but they sold out before i could even get on in my cart. i don't know how many of the RRs they put up --i don't think they had 50 of um. maybe 10 --
the bushmasters lasted a whole 15 minutes at most.
they put up somewhere over 100 troy ind mags, they also sold out in a few minutes--
They are still showing barrels and various part in stock though. This is encouraging.
these are the lowest priced lowers i have seen since the panic started.
that place that sells the acog knock offs-- i can't recall, anyway they sent me an email a few months back -- has some lowers in stock for $169. by the time i opened the email and went to the sight they were long gone.
well i got a bushmaster for $135 --most expensive lower i have ever bought. \
but hell i am spoiled to those $60 DSAs and $58 AAs!
like those $5 DSG mags , $100 for 1k rounds of ammo, $69 ak parts kits WITH the barrels--and $0.69 a gallon gas --i don't think were going to see any cheap lowers any time soon.
this is only $10 or maybe only $5 for the 0mm lower i bought just before the panic started. --i can't recall if i paid $125 or $120 for it. it was a deal though as it had built in 9mm stuff so no mag block needed.
i think back during the first two panics i paid $99 for a lower and $120 for this DPMS back in 08--
what makes these look so expensive is that there was a sort of "glut" for a while cause everybody and their brother were making ar-15 lowers for a while--
to bad charles daly didn't hang on in the ar business --they would be selling like mad today!
were seeing a few items trickle down to the market --but just a few--at retail price.
these cavs ain't bad lowers --but $185 is sort of spendy for these.
i bought one of these a few years back from DSG for $90 shipped.
it has been a decent lower --if these were priced a bit more like they were they would be flying out of there too.
even @ $185 they look good compared to the $299 and up BS i have been seeing.

In Virginia, it's called shad planking – an annual springtime event that started in the 1930s near Smithfield to mark the start of the James River fishing season. Imagine the voice of the late Julia Child here: "Shad is an oily, bony fish that, on this occasion, is smoked on wood planks over an open flame. Most palates will recoil in dismay at first bite, rather than tingle in delight."
Perhaps the main course left Virginians' appetites unfulfilled, so in the late 1940s locals added side dishes of political gossip and grandstanding to keep mouths occupied. According to Larry Sabato, the founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, the one-day political festival has evolved into a more Republican-dominated event for which office-seeking Democrats choose to take a pass. "It's very similar to Fancy Farm," says Sabato referring to the annual summertime barbeque and political picnic in western Kentucky.
I suspect Fancy Farm's menu is more of a crowd-pleaser than Virginia's plank-o-shad. I would also venture that Kentucky's stump bests Virginia's when it comes to political aggrandizing before an often-rambunctious crowd eager to pounce when the rhetoric flies. Mother Nature's forecast for this weekend's Fancy Farm picnic calls for a good probability of storms. Yet neither rain nor hail nor dark of skies will encumber the candidates eyeing the seat of Kentucky's senior senator, or the man himself.
Three seasons will change before we even get to the primary next May, but national political pundits expect Kentucky's U.S. Senate contest to be the marquee race in the 2014 election cycle. The field of contenders challenging Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell widened last week with the entrance of Tea Party candidate Matt Bevin to seek the GOP nomination. On Tuesday of this week, Democrat and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes officially launched her campaign in Lexington, giving her "I don't scare easy" speech to a crowd of nearly 1,500 supporters chanting to ditch or switch from Mitch.
I spent some time with Dr. Sabato in Virginia last week to explore why we're already fixated on next year's race, especially after just recuperating from last year's ballot-boxing. Remember, this is supposedly an "off year" for elections. Yeah, right!
My interview with Sabato is just one way we're fancying up our coverage of the 133rd annual Fancy Farm affair.
I also have interviews with James Carroll, the Washington bureau chief for The Courier-Journal, and Howard Fineman, who started his journalism career at the C-J and is now editorial director of the Huffington Post Media Group and frequent political analyst on NBC and MSNBC. I don't want you to overindulge on this political feast too early, so I'll save the Carroll and Fineman pieces for consumption tomorrow.
By the way, tune in to KET and KET.org/live this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. for exclusive live coverage and analysis of all the speeches. Bill Goodman and I will be perched on the green John Deere wagon waiting to greet you.

Paul Murphy, communications director for Utah Attorney General John Swallow, has been eager to defend his embattled boss and his former boss, previous Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
Perhaps he's been too eager.
Murphy sent out a tweet Saturday night critical of the news media's coverage of Swallow and then got into a Twitter exchange with former legislator and conservative blogger Holly Richardson, who is a member of the State Records Committee.
Richardson questioned Murphy on the wisdom of taking on the press, "with that whole ink-by-the-barrel thing."
Murphy tweeted back that the media can take teasing, to which Richardson responded that his rant didn't seem like teasing.
Then it got interesting.
Murphy tweeted that he should have added it was a "rim shot." But that response didn't come from his normal Twitter account. It came from the Amber Alert Twitter account.
It was about 9 p.m. on Saturday, so perhaps Murphy was tired. He quickly realized his mistake and took it down. He then posted the same message from the proper Twitter account.
But there is irony in the Twitter thread referring to his criticism of the media on an account that is a collaboration between the press and law enforcement to find missing children.
Speaking of eagerness • Newly elected Davis County Republican Chairman Phill Wright, in the excitement over his victory at Saturday's County Convention, wrote on his Facebook page that he not only defeated his opponent, Swen Howard, but also Gov. Gary Herbert and Lt. Gov. Greg Bell.
The latter two, along with several other GOP officeholders, had endorsed Howard over the tea-party-backed Wright.
So Wright's claim of defeating the two top officeholders in the state and the implication of a divide between Davis County Republicans and the GOP establishment set off a bit of a firestorm on social media.
Thomas Wright, who just stepped down as the state's Republican chairman, posted on Twitter a quote from Phill Wright's campaign site that said: "I have succeeded in bringing people of different opinions together." Then Thomas Wright added: "Um. You aren't proving it."
Phill Wright said it had been a long day, he was tired and he misspoke when he posted that boast on his Facebook page. He said when he realized what he had written, he took it down.
"That wasn't what I meant to say," he told me. "I have nothing but respect for [Herbert and Bell]. There is nothing negative between us. I believe in uniting, not dividing, the party and I will convey that in a future post on Facebook."
Davis County Republicans have had their drama during the past couple of years under the leadership of the previous GOP chairwoman, Kris Kimball, whose United Women's Forum is an offshoot of the Utah Eagle Forum.
Other GOP groups shied away from some of Kimball's invitations to party get-togethers. They worried the meetings were designed to meet the Eagle Forum's agenda rather than the party's.
So Phill Wright may have his work cut out for him as a unifier, considering the bump in the road right at the start.
Planning ahead • I recently noted a posting on the Utah Public Notice website announcing a meeting of the Department of Workforce Services' State Homeless Coordinating Committee Board in the Capitol Board Room scheduled for Sept. 12, 2020, at 2 p.m.
Another recent posting on the site announced a meeting of the Utah Forestry Board in Logan to discuss memorial trees, the mission statement and Tree City USA. That meeting, according to the site, will be held Sept. 24, 4597, at 6:30 p.m.
Mark your calendars.

Midwater squid
|Abralia veranyi
|Tentacles of Abralia veranyi
|Scientific classification
|A. veranyi
|Binomial name
|Abralia veranyi
(Rüppell, 1844)[2]
Enoploteuthis veranyi Rüppell, 1844
Abralia veranyi is a species of squid in the family Enoploteuthidae. Common names include the eye-flash squid, Verany's enope squid and the midwater squid. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It undergoes a daily vertical migration from deep waters to near the surface.
The midwater squid is a small species with a mantle length of about 4 centimetres (1.6 in). It has a fin, four pairs of arms and two long tentacles. The tips of the arms bear four rows of suckers and there are three hooks on the club of each tentacle. The male has the fourth arm on the left modified into a hectocotylus. This is used to store spermatophores and transfer them into the mantle of the female during mating.[3] The underside of the squid bears about 550 light-producing organs called photophores. These are arranged in transverse rows each consisting of 4 to 6 large ones with many small ones in between. There are two large and three medium-sized photophores below each of the large eyes.[4][5]
This species was first described from the Mediterranean Sea but is also found across much of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean. The range extends from France and the West African coast to the Bear Seamount off New England, the Bahamas, the Gulf of Mexico, the Sargasso Sea and northern Brazil. It has been found at depths of 700 to 800 metres (2,300 to 2,600 ft) in the daytime but only 20 to 60 metres (66 to 197 ft) at night.[5]
In 1921, a resident of Funchal, Madeira, Senor de Noronha, gave an count of what is believed to be the first recording of the species from the Atlantic Ocean:[3]
The cephalopod in question has been captured by myself in the sheltered quay of this city of Funchal, called the Quay of Pontinha, during the months of July, August, and September. Almost every year one may capture them in this harbor during the night where they approach the steps of debarcation, following the lighting of the electric lamps of the above mentioned steps. With a certain alacrity one may catch them with the aid of a little wire basket, because these animals come almost to the surface of the water, being distinguishable by the brilliancy of a bluish phosphorescence which they cause to gleam from their eyes.
The midwater squid remains at great depths where no light penetrates during the day, in order to avoid predators. However, it must rise to near the surface at night to feed on the small invertebrates that constitute its prey.[4]
The midwater squid has photophores on its underside. It is thought that their purpose is to make the squid less visible as a dark silhouette when viewed from below in dim light. The bioluminescence produced provides counter-illumination, a form of camouflage, which helps to break up the squid's outline.[6] The squid monitors the temperature of the water as a guide to regulating the emission spectra of the light it needs to emit to closely mimic the scintillating surface of the sea. In cold seas it mimics the blueish colour that sunlight produces at these depths and in warmer water, greener, moonlight colours are produced.[4]

Outbackers convert unused woods into outdoor classroom camping area
Release Date: 3/17/2010
Clarksville, Ark. --- What happens if you go camping for the first time and it turns out you hate it?
What if you're like the guy in the song "The Outdoor Type" by the Lemonheads:
"Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I've never set foot inside a tent
Can't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type"
Under normal circumstances, you'd probably just have to suffer the ticks and brambles and no shower and bumpy ground and never do it again.
Ozarks students, however, will soon be able to have their cake and eat it too, thanks to the hard work of the Ozarks Outback club.
Ozarks Outback – aka the Outbackers – is an outdoor club. As its mission statement says, it "exposes our students to the ultimate recreational environment nestled between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Student instructors lead outings such as canoeing, rock climbing, backpacking, caving, mountain biking, kayaking, and hiking."
Outbackers President Kirk Ross hard at work.
And thanks to a good idea from the club's staff advisor, Director of Student Activities Brian Hull, the Outbackers are clearing camping areas in the wooded property owned by the university on the north side of the athletic fields, areas which can serve the entire campus in multiple ways.
"When I took over as the Outbacker's advisor two or three years ago, I started thinking about an outdoor adventure course, "says Hull. "I sort of developed a short term and long term plan. We approached the administration about utilizing that property, which isn't being used for anything right now. We have cleared out areas for two camp sites and an outdoor classroom. It is a place where inexperienced campers can get comfortable with the outdoors, but it's also five minutes from their dorms. Best of both worlds."
Hull says he hopes the long term plan – an outdoor training and leadership course, with both low and high level ropes courses – will come to fruition at some point. "We've also cleared a trail to a pond on the further edge of the wooded area," he says. "We can hopefully incorporate the pond into the project at some point."
So far volunteers have met twice to clean the area, acquiring community service hours and a free pizza lunch in the process. Hull says the cleanups will continue on into the summer.
And because of their efforts, students will be able to safely enjoy the outdoors while avoiding the fate of the narrator in the Lemonheads song:
"Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type"
Outdoor types – Members and friends of Ozarks Outback pause amid their labors. (Left to right): Michael Woods, Kyle Hunnicutt, Natalie Roden, Tate Ramirez, Brent Sanders, Isaac Doss, and Colin Davies. (Not pictured: Andrew Herbert, Lauren Ray, and Kirk Ross.) They are clearing areas on university property for use in simulated camping and outdoor classroom exercises.

Nico Yennaris admits he would love another crack at the Arsenal first team.
The 18-year-old made his senior debut in the Carling Cup victory over Bolton three weeks ago, impressing with an assured performance at right-back.
Manchester City will head to London for next month's Quarter-Final and Yennaris is hopeful of a second appearance for the Club.
"You never know, expect the unexpected," he told Arsenal.com. "I'm in the manager's head now so hopefully he picks me and I'll just try and make the team.
"It was a great experience. It sounds bad but I got a bit fortunate with injuries so that gave me my chance. The gaffer trusted me, put his faith in me and it was great to go out there and get 90 minutes.
"I found out the day before that I was playing and it was just an absolute buzz from there on in. I thought I did pretty well for my first game. I got good feedback after the game so hopefully I can just push on from there."
Arsenal's Fourth-Round victory saw the welcome return of Thomas Vermaelen to the heart of the Arsenal backline - a player Yennaris says oozes class.
"Thomas is just unbelievable, you can see he's a winner," he said. "He's a great presence to have in the team and a true leader on and off the pitch.
"Everybody knows how good he is so when he's back it's a big boost to the manager. He's a top-class player. When we're called up to train with the first team we are involved with the likes of him and he trains how he plays.
"The senior players were great on and off the pitch, especially Yossi Benayoun," added Yennaris. "He gave me good advice all the way through and was encouraging all the time. He helped me relax and that just allowed me to play my game.
"Arsène Wenger sat us down as a team because there was quite a few youngsters in there. He did tell the senior players to guide us younger ones, and the other way around - for us to listen to them and take their advice.
"He just told us to go out there and be confident, relax and play our game. In the end that's what we did."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source


text: According to Hoopshype and The New York Post, trade negotiations reopened with Pistons/Nets. Could possibly be the largest trade in NBA history involving at least 17 players. Based on the article, Terrico White is now thrown into the mix. Regardless of the situation, I would not give anyone a first round pick.


text: Okay, this question comes from being a noob at scratch building. I am assembling the top half of Alan's left gauntlet. If I am wanting to make this wearable, and durable at the same time, should I do any kind of reinforcement on the inside as I go? i.e., resin, expanding foam, etc. Any input would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

My daughters just watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time, whereupon my 2-year-old issued a Halloween edict: nobody in the family is allowed to dress up as a witch or a flying monkey. My only question was, how come I'd never thought of dressing as a flying monkey?
That idea might just be awesome enough to get me to wear a costume for Halloween again. I bet I could do it better than that guy. But I guess I'll have to wait another year or two in the interest of my child's sanity.
Have you ever worn a costume that freaked your kids out? (And no, grossing out your grown-up kids by dressing as a Sexy Dental Hygienist or something doesn't count.)
Photo: Flying monkey Kurt by Flickr user hans.gerwitz, used under a Creative Commons license.
Our kids are still young enough we do a family themed costume. This year we are Little Red Ridding Hood, her best friend Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The youngest (9 months) was a bit unnerved by my bear hat and ears, but he was alright after a second look.
Now that's a costume party.
I remember one halloween when I was maybe... 10?...my mom was babysitting my little cousin, who must have been a yr or so old. I don't remember what my friend and I were dressed as, but when my other aunt showed up as herself and starting cooing little cousin, he just started screaming at the sight of her. No costume. Just her face.
My mother-in-law is actually still kind of terrified of flying monkeys due to a childhood Oz trauma. Don't think it was related to a costume, but know that your antics can permanently affect them!!
I think the lack of redeye reduction in their flash usage really rounds out the piece.

Besides checking piston clearance,you can use a bore guage to check cylinders for out of round and taper from bottom to top.These checks help you determine if a used block is reusable.For example,with a 400 SBC that has siamezed cylinder walls,excessive out of round may indicate a block with a core shift problem.

How to use a cylander bore gauge 101
OK, you bought this new fancy tool and you want to put it to good use, right?Measure each piston individually to their respective bore perpendicular to the ring bore with your micrometer, you do have a good set of these right? Good. Each piston manufacturer, and each type; cast, hyperutectic, and forged has a specified location where to measure,and how much piston to cylinder wall clearance you should have, however if you cant find it, measure at the widest location. When you mic the piston and feel comfortable with the "feeler gauge "method, lock the micrometer. Now take the dial bore gauge and "rock" it in the mic you have locked to come up with the shortest distance. This is your piston diameter. Zero your gauge with the dial and put the gauge back in the mic to double check your reading. Now put your dial bore gauge in the appropriate cylinder that the piston will live in and rock it again to find the shortest distance. The + side will tell you how much clearance there is between the piston and the cylinder wall, if you have negative clearance -, I suggest you go back to your machinist, this time with a baseball bat! You should be OK. Good luck!!

How do you use a cylnder bore gauge?
I Bought a "Central" brand bore guage. It's marked off in 0.0005 incriments. It has a - side and a + side on the guage. I usually leave this kind of thing to the machine shop, but I want to learn. What is the proper way to use this and what mesurements and tolerances am I looking for in the bore?

Letter to My Former Self: Ensign Garrett Gray
POSTED ON: Thursday, March 27, 2014 8:00 AM by Naval Academy Public Affairs
As part of an ongoing series, recent USNA graduates have written "letters to their former selves" outlining advice that would have been useful to them when they were still midshipmen and may provide helpful wisdom for those still on the Yard. Here, Ensign Garrett Gray (USNA 2013), an explosive ordnance disposal officer, looks back on when he was a mid.
Dear young, stupid, MIDN Garrett Gray,
Hello, I am your future self. Please don't freak out and isolate yourself in the squash courts. Hear me out.
Just to put you at ease, yes you will graduate in 2013, you will get the service selection you want, and no your capstone project won't work, but you will come up with some really awesome technical sounding excuses and your professor will give you an A anyway.
So now that the big stuff is taken care of, here is some stuff that might help you out along the way and make me, your future self, a little better off.
You will get picked up for EOD, so that's pretty cool. But do your research better than I did, and don't be afraid to build relationships right off the bat. If you know any people from 9th company or from the marathon team or from your cruise that went EOD, get in touch. You think you're smart and cool 'cause you did a screener but you really don't know jack squat about anything. The better acquainted you become with that fact, the better you're going to be as a JO.
And people are most always willing to help. You just have to be willing to ask. I know I would be more than willing to talk to anybody about EOD now. Suck it up, build relationships, and try to find out more about your future job than what you can read in the pro-know book (a.k.a. Wikipedia). Oh, and those relationships won't go away. It will be really cool later when you actually know people.
Ironically, I can still take my own advice. The navy sent me to DLI (look it up) here in California so I haven't even gone to dive school yet. Super good choice though. You'll love it here. Y podras hablar espanol.
Be prepared physically, too, though. Danny Quinn is here to drown me every morning to get ready for dive school, but I wish I would have taken advantage of the extensive free swim opportunities at the academy. Something else that will happen right when you graduate is quality of life will improve a lot and you will start feeling like a real live adult.
And it will also hit you that the world is a little bigger than 5th wing and that you are a military officer. So please do me a favor and don't waste so much time scrolling on Facebook and playing addictive games. I judge people like that now. Sleep more (not in thermo), and read. Seriously, read a lot. Buzzfeed= the devil. Starting your homework before 10 p.m. would be helpful as well. Don't skip leg day, and take the frickin' FE exam. I'm kicking myself for not doing that now.
Basically, just work hard.
Finally, appreciate what you have at the academy. Never again will you be in such close proximity to that many cool people and be able to lead that closely and focus that much on what you are doing.
It has its perks. Don't cry. It's ok. Big shout out to my girl Brynn and all my peeps in 9. Keep it breezy.
Crusty old Ensign Gray

By the time spring finally got here, the losses in Michigan were probably more like 75 to 80%. It was a cold, snowy, sunless winter with very few cleansing flight days. They haul new bees in here from the southern US and California by the Semi truck load full every spring. Even with the full tractor loads, demand could not be meet this spring. Either we have a ton of new bee keepers every year (we do not), or most people's bees die (very likely). In the cold north, you need to do SOMETHING to increase your odds of wintering success.I know of two commercial operations within 15 miles of me. One with 500 hives and one with 1000 hives. They both winter in simple wood hives and both had losses over 60%. The 1000 hive guy had 100% losses. That doesn't mean they don't make money though. The spring flow is so strong that they can re-package their hives in the spring and still make a nice profit even from a package. Ironically enough, this has been a bumper year for them. Go figure! Bee keeping is a strange business.
Then you feed combs full of syrup when brood are mostly emerged.
I should probably know how to do this, but I don't. Do you simply spray or pour sugar syrup in the comb and then put the comb back in the hive? If so, that's a wonderfully elegant solution. -Liz
Derekm, please share with me ( first year beek) just how you insulate your hive. I really want my hive to survive a bitter cold Minnesota winter!
derekm I am way south but very curious how people keep bees @ different lat&longitudesCould you post a picture of one of your hives maybe show how youhave the bottoms 6"ThanksTommyt
.A huge insulation and the floor widely open. Something badly wrong in that theory.Sorry to say that.
Derekm, I can see the logic behind your open floor design, but I'm wondering why you didn't go with a more conventional insulation approach? Why did you choose to go with an open floor and a closed top instead of a more conventional small bottom vent/entrance and a small top vent/entrance? What are the advantages and disadvantages?I understand your use of mesh and grills to try to create a dead air space (insulation) in the floor area of your hive. Where I live we get a lot of wind in the winter and have to confess I would worry about wind washing the heat from the hive as Finski fears. However I've never tried it. I also worry about the exchange of gasses (CO2, O2, and water vapor) with a closed top. I've stuck with a conventional insulation design like Finski, but am always interested to hear how other approaches work. I'm not enough of a rebel myself :(, but like to watch the rebels at work :)You gotta get us a photo of this hive!!! I'm very curious to see it.

Got a new phone on the 5th, a Galaxy s4. Made my old s2 look ancient and I thought it was a pretty nice phone.
Anyways, it came pre loaded with Samsung's S Health app, and since my new years resolution was to make some sort of resolution within a week or two after the 1st in order to let all the celebrations etc.. die down, I decided to use the app and log my year with it.
So far I haven't dieted or exercised, just recorded what I have eaten, and it counts my steps per day, and the couple times I have exercised I filled that in as well.
(well one big change I guess... my 4-8 cups of coffee/tea a day have gone from 8 sugar packets each to a single sweet n low packet)
Started at 245lbs and this morning was just under 230lbs so 15 lost so far just by being aware of what I consume.
I figure that will taper off soon, and then I will start exercising to keep the loss going, and see where I get from there.
My son is 4, so would like to get into good shape within the next couple of years so I can do more stuff with him. (sports, outdoors activities, etc...)
How are you guys doing with your resolutions, and how are you going about them?

I ordered flowers for my sister's birthday online. The website was easy to understand and navigate. I received an email confirmation when the order was placed and also when the flowers were successfully delivered. Even in below zero temps the flowers arrived in beautiful condition. If you need a florist in the Stow, Ohio area I highly recommend Oregon Corners.

I ordered flowers online from out-of-state the night before the recipient's birthday. When I called in the morning to discuss concerns I had about the delivery, Richard was wonderful to speak with; so helpful, considerate and knowledgeable.
