When you are lucky you actually learn about some recall of a food you can either stay away from or quickly figure out whether you have already eaten it. In recent years there have been major recalls for all sorts of food products, including fresh fruits and vegetables as well as manufactured and packaged food products. In 1994, an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning due to contaminated ice cream affected an estimated 224,000 Americans.
Remember the recent peanut butter and spinach problems, and the cookie dough story? Federal health officials say there were 80 people in 31 states sickened by cookie dough contaminated with a deadly bacterium, E. coli O157:H7. Among the pathogens that can harm human health, this oneis one of the most lethal, with no known cure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 70,000 people are infected annually with just this one pathogen, but of course the actual number is unknown because many illnesses go unreported. Once the CDC linked the outbreak of E. coli illness to Nestle cookie dough in June, Nestle immediately recalled about 3.6 million packages at a cost of $30 million to $50 million, according to the company. But such recalls mean that there were insufficient preventive practices in the first place.
People eat the mistakes made by the food industry.
The US Food and Drug Administration's website has a section called Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts. Most of the listings are for food. For August, 2009 there were 23 listings with 19 for foods, including cookies, pie, green onions, cheese products, melons, and lettuce. Some listings are for products that did not disclose certain ingredients that might concern some people. In July, 2009 there were 44 listings for foods. As I scanned for previous months I began to feel sick, because there were large listings for every month. Anyone would surely conclude that they routinely eat foods that have been recalled for safety reasons. Eating is like betting. If you're lucky you don't get sick.
As a news junkie I was astounded at the incredible number and range of the food listings, most representing health risks for consumers. Anyone who checks these listings will face the prospect of becoming totally fearful and paranoid about food safety. No matter how well you follow the electronic or print news let me assure you there is no way that you could possibly know about all the food recalls regularly going on.
Logically, whatever food is being recalled has already been distributed, sold and eaten by people. Which seems to explain why so many Americans, roughly 75 million people a year, are getting sick from foodborne diseases, including 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths, and not just getting an upset stomach from a little food poisoning? Think food safety crisis.
By the way, even food personally obtained might be harmful. Note that a recent federal study of mercury contamination found the poison in every single fish tested in nearly 300 streams across the It's the largest study of its kind ever undertaken. More than a thousand fish were tested from 1998 to 2005.
Also, people must accept responsibility for some food poisoning. It sometimes occurs at picnics, school cafeterias, and large social functions, because food is left out of the refrigerator too long or food preparation techniques may not be clean. Another problem is undercooked meats, fish and dairy products. Unsanitary conditions in kitchens and restaurants are also culprits.
The main conclusion I reached after examining this issue is that food safety is an oxymoron. Congress must make all parts of the food industry adopt better practices to reach a much higher level of food safety. In fact, this past July the House approved legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration broad new powers and place new responsibilities on food producers, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. It would speed up the ability of health officials to track down the source of an outbreak and give the government the power to mandate a recall, rather than rely on food producers to voluntarily pull tainted products from the shelves. The Senate is expected to take up its version in the fall. Of course, some in the food industry are lobbying against strong congressional action. Also in July, the Obama administration announced new regulations to curb the spread of salmonella in eggs and naming a new food watchdog at the Food and Drug Administration.
The public must express more outrage about the lack of food safety, otherwise corporate corruption of the political system will prevail and food safety will remain an oxymoron. Being hospitalized or dying from unsafe food is a dismal prospect.
Enjoy your next meal.

Managing Stress in Addiction Recovery in Palm Springs, CAPosted on July 7, 2017
A major trigger for relapse in addiction recovery is stress. It is essential that clients develop effective strategies for managing stress and promoting a positive attitude. Palm Springs, CA is an ideal location for recovery because it offers not only amazing weather year-round, but it is also home to a vibrant and supportive recovery community and a plethora of sober activities. Individuals can explore a variety of activities and find what works best for their needs and reducing stress.
Connect with Nature
Connecting with nature is a wonderful way to unwind. When cravings strike or tension builds, take time out to go for a walk, jog along a mountain or lakefront trail, and soak up the sunshine and fresh air. Enjoying the peace and serenity of the great outdoors can be a fast and effective way to boost your mood and relax. Stop to notice the plants, animals, and scenic surroundings.
Try New Activities
Keep an open mind and try something new. Take advantage of the fantastic golf courses in Palm Springs, CA, or try your hand at painting, tennis, knitting, or pottery. You never know what will strike your interest and be something you end up thoroughly enjoying. It can be very relaxing and therapeutic to focus on an activity you love or learning something new.
Write About It
Start a journal and write about whatever is on your mind. Putting your thoughts down in writing can reduce stress and allow you to look at things from a different perspective. Keeping a gratitude journal can be beneficial as well. Jot down a few things each day that you are grateful for – big or small – and look back on them when you're feeling down or stressed as a quick pick-me-up.
Spending your time helping others is a great way to help yourself too. Giving back and seeing the difference you can make in others' lives can be very rewarding. It can give you a sense of purpose and keep you busy as you move forward in your recovery.
Learn to Say No
Know your personal boundaries and what you can comfortably handle. If someone asks you to take on a large project and you're already balancing enough on your plate, politely decline. If you know a situation will lead to temptation or could be triggering, don't engage. Your well-being is a top priority, and that means creating balance and not overwhelming yourself. Realize that you are doing what is best for you and that it will help reduce your stress.
Surround Yourself with Positive People
Pay attention to whom you spend your time with. Focus on finding individuals who are supportive of your recovery and the lifestyle changes you've made. Cut ties with those who are a negative influence. Laughter is a natural mood booster and can help ease stress.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to centrifugal pumps for fluids and more particularly of the type having a rotatable case which impels fluid to one collection point if liquid and another if gas whereby they are discharged separately via separate outlet ports within the pump housing.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The problem of two-phase fluid pumping has been and still is a serious one in the art, especially for long distance transmissions. Prior pumps, especially the rotating case-fixed arm centrifugal type as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,384,024 issued to W. L. King, can be adapted to solve this type of problem. This type of pump, for a single phase fluid, achieves high pressure liquid pumping in a small inexpensive single stage with relatively little maintenance such as mechanical seal problems which have long plagued the pumping art. Yet this group as it is presently known cannot achieve the two-phase or multi-phase operation which is the prime object of the present invention.
The invention described herein discloses in its preferred embodiment a rotating case pump which can achieve two-phase pumping and/or phase separation in one stage, using either continuous or alternating pulse flow. For more complete separation, several stages may be used.
The modification disclosed herein is the addition of a second inlet orifice in the stationary arm whereby gas in two-phase flow would accumulate and be removed at an orifice separate from the existing liquid inlet orifice, usually positioned at the outermost end of the stationary arm.
This device can be used as a type of centrifugal separation which takes a mixed phase in its inlet port or can be used as a two-phase pump in much the same manner. In another operational mode, liquid pulses and gas pulses can be separately allowed to flow into the pump.
When mixed phase feed is being transported a sensor such as the Hydril Flow Detector (Hydril Co. Control Systems, Anaheim, California), which can close the gas port when liquid is present and open the port to admit gas, can be mounted in the gas port. This particular detector, commercially available, is operable at pressures of 275 to 3600 psi and at temperatures of from -50� to +100�F.
More particularly, the present application provides in a centrifugal pump comprising:
A. a generally cylindrical pump case rotatable about its central axis and defining a closed cylindrical main pump chamber,
B. a stationary arm extending from said central axis to a point within the case,
C. a central inlet port by which fluid enters said closed main pump chamber,
D. a fluid inlet orifice mounted on the outermost end of said stationary arm,
E. a fluid outlet port,
F. a passageway positioned and defined within said stationary arm providing fluid communication from said inlet orifice to said outlet port, and
g. means for rotating said case whereby fluid charge is drawn at inlet pressure into the case via the inlet port, transported to the outer section of the pump case by centrifugal force, removed at a pressure essentially higher than the inlet pressure by the inlet orifice and transported to an exterior location at said pressure higher than the inlet pressure,
an improvement which comprises:
a. a second fluid inlet orifice positioned on the stationary arm at a location essentially closer to the central axis of the rotatable case than the fluid inlet orifice recited above,
b. a second fluid outlet port, and
c. a second passageway positioned within said stationary arm providing fluid communication from said second fluid inlet orifice to said second fluid outlet port whereby a second fluid drawn into the case via the inlet port at inlet pressure is removed at a pressure essentially higher than the inlet pressure by said second fluid inlet orifice and transported via said second passageway and said second outlet port to a second exterior location at said pressure higher than the inlet pressure.
The invention may be more fully understood by referring to the following figures and descriptions of the preferred embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a centrifugal pump according to this invention connected to a motor with the centrifugal pump appearing in a section.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the stationary arm, taken along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary section of a conventional single phase stationary arm adapted for double phase pumping according to the invention.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary section of the stationary arm along line 4--4 in FIG. 3.
One possible method of constructing a centrifugal pump is illustrated in FIG. 1. A pump housing 10 contains the operable parts of the pump. Pump housing 10 is secured to the frame 11 of motor 12 by bolts 13. Motor 12 is preferably secured to a sturdy base 14. Inside pump housing 10 the pump case 15 is mounted. Pump case 15 has two sections 16 and 17 secured together by bolts 18. Section 16 is secured to the rotatable shaft 19 of motor 12. An inlet port 20 extends through the opposite side of pump housing 10 and through section 17 of case 15. Inlet port 20 is secured to pump housing 10 by setscrew 21, thereby preventing its rotation. A seal 22 is provided to prevent leaks at the point when inlet port 20 passes through case 15. The inside end of inlet port 20 opens into the inside of case 15. A stationary arm 23 is secured to the portion of inlet port 20 which is inside case 15 and extends radially therefrom. The shape of arm 23 should be such as to permit minimum fluid turbulence during pumping. Two inlet orifices, 24 and 25, on stationary arm 23 are provided. Each orifice preferably has a circular intake opening at its leading edge, which extends forward of the leading edge of stationary arm 23. Internal passageways 26 and 27 provide fluid communication between inlet orifice 24 and 25 and outlet ports 28 and 29, respectively.
When operating the pump, fluid having two phases is pulled into inlet port 20 at low inlet pressures by the centrifugal forces created by rotating case 15. The centrifugal force causes the fluid to move outwardly, forcing the denser phase to concentrate at the outer most portion inside case 15. The less dense phase remains closer to the center of case 15. The momentum of the fluid created by the centrifugal force causes each phase to be forced through its respective inlet orifice at high pressures. The denser phase enters inlet orifice 24, flows through passageway 26 and exits the pump through outlet port 28. Likewise, the lighter phase enters inlet orifice 25, flows through passageway 27 and exits through outlet port 29. The outlet pressures are greater than the inlet pressures due to the centrifugal forces created to propel the fluid through the pump.
Several design changes can be made to alter the characteristics of the pump. The location of the inlet orifices can be changed to better receive the particular phases that are to be pumped. Preferably, one orifice needs to be located on the outer end of stationary arm 23 to receive the denser phase. The second orifice can be located anywhere along the leading edge of stationary arm 23 between orifice 24 and inlet port 20. The exact location depends upon the density of the phase to be pumped as well as its concentration in the initial mixed phase fluid and the speed of rotation.
Also, three or more inlet orifices can be used. This configuration would be desirable where the separation of a hydrocarbon, water, and gas mixture was desired.
Several design variations of stationary arm 23 are possible. The size of the internal passageways and outlet ports can be varied to be proportional to the relative concentration of each phase in the mixed-phase fluid. Another possibility is the addition of several stationary arms having different lengths with inlet orifices located on the end of each arm.
Easy installation of a second inlet orifice in a conventional centrifugal pump having only one inlet orifice 24' is possible, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4. A second inlet orifice 25' is installed in the leading edge of the stationary arm 23' at the appropriate radius. An outlet port 29' is placed inside the inlet port 20' or outlet port 28', and a tube 27' is placed inside the original internal passageway 26' to provide fluid communication between the second inlet orifice 25' and its outlet port 29'.
Several methods of operating the multi-phase pump are possible. The pump can be charged alternately with one phase and then another. It can be slugged with a mixed phase fluid and allowed to run until the case is empty or until a predetermined residence time has elapsed. The pump can also be operated continuously. In the continuous operation, better control of the pump might be needed. For instance, a sensor (not shown) could be used to detect the type of fluid being received by inlet orifice 25. If a gas phase is not being received, the exit passage would be closed and the speed of rotation or rate of mixed phase fluid flow into the pump would be altered to achieve the proper balance between phases. A control valve and sensing system, of a type previously mentioned, can be mounted in stationary arm 23 at inlet orifice 25 to perform this function. Control systems which can automatically control the pump in response to the control valve and sensing system are known to those skilled in the art.
Use of several pumps connected in series can permit more refined separation of the phases since the phase becomes more pure after passage through each stage.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been described, it is obvious that changes and modifications can be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. It is the intention of the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications.

MD; Bekken, Marit MD; Kolsaker, Leif MD; Langard, Sverre MD, MScJournal of Occupational Medicine: February 1993 ORIGINAL ARTICLES: PDF Only Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between organic solvent exposure and brain atrophy among 85 patients referred to a department of occupational medicine and who underwent cerebral computed tomography. On average, the patients had been heavily exposed to a mixture of organic solvents for 22.9 years. Diseases which may be associated with brain atrophy or high alcohol consumption was observed among 31% of the subjects. Among these subjects the prevalence of brain atrophy was 58%. The prevalence of brain atrophy was 20% among the men without such conditions. None of the eight female patients appeared to have atrophy. The quantitative assessment showed no correlation between the duration of exposure and atrophy-related parameters. However, the width of the third ventricle, bifrontal ratio, and bicaudate ratio were correlated with age. (C)1993 The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Prufrock: Standard Lifes trouble and strife
Standard Life has been bombarded with complaints from angry customers who are accusing the former mutual of sexism. The problem started when thousands of holders of joint policies discovered the windfall cheques had been issued to one person only — usually the man.
One policyholder said: "My husband and I shared the cost and the risk of the joint mortgage. Now the reward is in his name and there's nothing I can do if he decides to cash it himself. It's unbelievable."
Another said: "Even the envelope was only addressed to my husband — I might not have ever known about it. Luckily I'm getting on with my husband, but it's a bit of a gamble by the company."

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Three men suing ConAgra Foods Inc. over frozen chicken they ate while in prison got their day in court Thursday.
The suit, which seeks $100,000 in damages, was filed by Christopher Butts, Henry Butson and Corydon Cochran, who say they ate part of the chicken while serving prison terms at Lee Adjustment Facility, in Beattyville, Ky., where some Vermont inmates are sent because of crowding in Vermont jails.
Butts and Cochran were in court for the trial Thursday — bringing the specimen with them, in a brown paper bag.
Butson, who's serving 25 years to life for the fatal 2003 shootings of his ex-girlfriend and a man she was seeing, participated by speakerphone from prison.
Each acted as their own attorney for the proceeding, questioning the others in court.
Butts, of Killingly, Conn., told U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions that he bit into a piece of microwaved Banquet chicken that contained pus, grain and corn after buying it at a prison store in November 2005.
Butts spit it out and got sick, had diarrhea for a week, lost weight, was harassed by other inmates and can no longer eat chicken, he said.
"I was sick. I don't know if it was psychosomatic. I had diarrhea, I just couldn't put anything in my mouth," said Butts, who served four years for a fatal drunken driving crash and is now on probation.
ConAgra attorney Gary Stewart, of Harrisburg, Pa., suggested that Butts may have had the flu since he'd visited the prison nurse two days before for other symptoms.
Stewart asked the judge to throw out the suit, saying Butts never proved the chicken was defective because he didn't have it tested.
Butson and Cochran, who acknowledged they didn't get sick from the chicken, are seeking emotional damages.
"Frankly, the only injury you sustained was a phobia of seeing chicken?" Stewart asked Butson, of St. Johnsbury.
Stewart said they didn't suffer physical injury so they can't seek emotional damages under Vermont law.
Sessions refused to admit the chicken into evidence, saying it had been handled by others in the three-year interim. He also questioned whether they had proved that the chicken was truly defective.
Cochran, of Cabot, said he didn't care about the money; he just wanted ConAgra to take responsibility for any wrongdoing.
ConAgra spokeswoman Cindi Hartman testified that the company had received no complaints in 2005 like the one at issue.
Sessions didn't rule Thursday. He will later, he said.
"It's essentially a legal issue whether there's sufficient evidence to show ... that the object found in the chicken was defective."

Bathroom Remodeling | Expert Planning Tips
Bathroom Remodeling | The key to any successful bathroom remodeling is having a detailed plan in place before you begin. Once the process begins, it's often too late. That's because making big changes on the fly can lengthen the time of your bathroom remodeling and dramatically increase its cost.
Speaking of costs, the first step is to determine your budget for your bathroom remodeling. Knowing how much you have to spend allows you to decide the scope of your project.
Tips for a Successful Bathroom Remodeling
Here are some other tips that can help your remodeling go as smoothly and effectively as possible:
- Think Green — Making choices that are good for the environment isn't just good for the planet, it's also good for you and your family. Today's green products often have superior design and better function, which can lower your long-term utility costs. They also tend to be chemical-free, which is good for your family's health.
- Refinish Rather than Replace — You can substantially reduce your bathroom remodeling expenses by remodeling fixtures such as your shower, bathtub or sink rather than replacing them outright. Refinishing often costs a fraction of the cost of replacement, sometimes as little as 10 percent.
- Minimize Plumbing Movement — One of the most expensive elements of any bathroom remodeling comes when plumbing has to be moved. If you can keep your plumbing the way it is, you can cut the costs of your remodeling substantially.
- Know Your Limitations — You may think you possess the skills to perform some or all of the bathroom remodeling yourself, but if you mess it up, it's going to cost you more in the long run — often a lot more. If you aren't experienced at the job at hand, hire a professional.
- Do the Cheap Fixes First — Changing out inexpensive hardware such as drawer pulls, faucet handles and shower heads can make a big impact on the way your bathroom looks and feels. – Build and Rehab Bath

(WTNH)–The Connecticut Sun made their final cuts on Friday, and former UConn guard Kelly Faris was one of them. Faris was the 11th overall pick of the 2013 WNBA Draft by the Sun. She won two national titles while at UConn.
"I appreciate that she plays the game the right way, she plays hard, so the intangibles are tough to lose, but we made a decision to go a different direction at the start of camp," said Sun coach Curt Miller.
The 26-year-old Faris played four seasons with the Sun. She's also spent time playing professionally overseas in the offseason.

It is imperative to know that medical discount plans is not at all the same with health insurance plans. Health insurance plans protect the policyholder from almost all medical costs- services or treatments, doctor's fees and prescriptions. But not everyone can afford health insurance plans especially in these hard times. Medical discount plans may be an option for you.
Medical discount plans provide consumers with reduced prices on medical services or procedures and doctor's fees. Instead of paying for the full price for a procedure, you only need to pay the discounted rates. Companies that offer this kind of programs have already negotiated with health care facilities as well as physicians for discounted rates. You only need to pay a monthly fee to access their reduced rates. It is actually up to you if you decide to pay on a monthly or annual basis. Annual payments are normally cheaper than paying monthly. Some companies who offer medical discount plans are: Alliance HealthCard, Benicard and Procare Benefit card. Each one of these can offer you medical discount plans according to your preferences.
Medical discount plan holders should be aware that this plan does not cover costs for emergency room visits, surgical procedures or treatments and hospital bills. These plans do not cover your medical costs like health insurance does. Having medical discount plans is another way to help you pay for rather expensive health care services without having to shoulder the full cost on your own.
It is also advisable for people over 65 years old to gather information and do some research on how medical discount plans can help them.
Before visiting your physician or deciding on having a procedure done, make sure that your medical discount plan will be accepted. Verify with your provider if your doctor is part of the network or if the procedure can be accommodated. And always remember that you need to pay the discounted rate upfront.

Paperback / softback
The Life to Come
by Michelle de Kretser
Why Our Staff Love The Life To Come:
This book is a glorious piece of virtuosity that is unlike anything I have ever read. It is provocative, tragicomic, and full of the most wonderfully descriptive writing you'll see this year. More invaluably though, this book may actually change you.
"The Life to Come" is a series of mini-narratives entwined to produce a rich and colourful tapestry. As in her 2012 MIles Franklin Award-winning novel "Questions of Travel", there is no dominant narrative arc here - it is the details that make up the whole. Those expecting a grand plot may be confounded at first, but if you let yourself go with the novel's small episodes, a more valuable picture emerges. It is an enjoyable and slow ride that you'll savour. This novel delves into the stories we tell both others and ourselves. It explores how we make excuses for our bad behaviour and highlight our aspirations, always with our best times and deeds just before us, in the life to come.
Ultimately, De Kretser highlights how we are the heroes of our own stories. We deceive ourselves and others to appear at our best. And this holds beyond the individual, as societies and nations also self-mythologise. At a time of casual discrimination, this poor behaviour can have repercussions beyond the obvious. The novel is mostly set in Inner West Sydney, in a world of politically aware creatives who are forever bumping against each other. Each of her characters is a kind of vignette, carrying defined ideas of who they are and where they are going. Some have cast themselves as grand writers, charitable neighbours, or great liberal supporters of refugees and the marginalised.
These ideals are soon revealed as the hypocritical constructs they are, with De Kretser deftly pinning each one to the board with glorious wit - her character observations are so acute that you are often left breathless. Thankfully, De Kretser's inclusive compassion offsets this exposure of social shortcomings, as we realise these characters are full of human frailty, just like us. They mirror us in many ways, and we feel for them.
Moving and evocative, intellectual and pointed, and all written in brilliant prose, this book is a rich delight that is so uniquely of its time, and my pick of 2017 so far. Take your time reading it, and watch how it colours even the smallest social interactions in your life. You'll ask yourself questions. You may even change how you act. Most of all, you will certainly want to re-read it.
Book Description:
It feels at once firmly classic and exhilaratingly contemporary. Pippa is a writer who longs for success. Celeste tries to convince herself that her feelings for her married lover are reciprocated. Ash makes strategic use of his childhood in Sri Lanka but blots out the memory of a tragedy from that time. Driven by riveting stories and unforgettable characters, here is a dazzling meditation on intimacy, loneliness and our flawed perception of other people.
Profoundly moving as well as wickedly funny, The Life to Come reveals how the shadows cast by both the past and the future can transform, distort and undo the present.
This extraordinary novel by Miles Franklin-winning author Michelle de Kretser will strike to your soul.

Description :
Paleo-anthropologists beleive Homo sapiens evolved in Africa 100 - 200 thousands of years ago, and eventually moved out of Africa to populate the globe.
But, how can researchers trace the specifics of the human migration? With the support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Florida Museum of Natural History Mammalogist, David Reed, has undertaken a novel approach.
Reed studies the genetic diversity and evolution of the human parasite that hitched a ride the whole way : lice. He gathers samples from around the world.
Over the years, the lice evolved in parallel with their human hosts, but actually even faster, meaning studying the differences between lice from different geographic regions can actually provide insights into how and when human populations migrated into those areas.

Afren's shares have fallen in value by almost 99% over the past year, as the oil and gas producer defaulted on its interest payments. Its debt burden, which currently stands at $1.65 billion, has become unsustainable with the lower oil price, and the company is now seeking debt restructuring and recapitalisation.
The recapitalisation plan
Bondholders have agreed to a debt-for-equity swap, which will see 25% of existing bonds being converted into equity. This will reduce the company's debt by $233 million. Afren will raise about $225 million in net cash proceeds through a combination of the issuance of new high yield notes and a share offer to existing shareholders. The proceeds will be used to fund development of its production assets in Nigeria.

An alcaguete is someone who turns in others. Its meaning is similar to that of snitch. With so many plea deals being made, of course, Brazilians have been using this word more than usual.
The origins of alcaguete are in the Spanish language: "alcahuete". Though both words originally referred to a pimp, its true roots lie further away. As a matter of fact, alcaguete originates from the word al-qawwad. You guessed it, it's Arabic.
The possible definitions in Portuguese are the following: a man who mediates encounters with prostitutes; a police spy; a person who turns in or betrays another; snitch.
And during times like the ones Brazil is currently experiencing, there are many alcaguetes. The word is used, of course, to refer to all those who struck plea deals. And Brazil is seeing a record number of those agreements, especially because of Operation Car Wash. Take Odebrecht, for example. Alone, the contractor giant generated more that 270 hours of testimonies in more than 1,000 videos. That's a lot of snitching.
In exchange for lighter sentences and maybe even escaping jail, politicians and executives will swiftly alcaguetar their former accomplices.
You can, however, use it in lighter contexts. A brother or sister who tells their parents something wrong their siblings did is an alcaguete. Someone who tells the boss what their colleagues have been up to can also be called that.
There are, moreover, variations in the way Brazilians say it. You can lose the al and just say caguete, or even cagueta. And it even becomes a verb (with all the due conjugations): alcaguetar or caguetar.
Be mindful that calling someone an alcaguete is very serious. It's not something you can joke about lightly. Only use the word if the seriousness of the situation requires it. On the other hand, if someone calls you an alcaguete, you have every right to be pretty mad.

Mat Harrison's Fantasy Football Playoff Cheat Sheet
It's certainly not a perfect science, designing a cheat sheet for the NFL Playoffs, but I gave it a whirl and I hope you can use it to your advantage.
In my mind I took a few factors in when ranking these guys.
- How good is the player?
- How long will the playoff run be?
- Who might be the upcoming opponents?
- Is there some super crappy QB behind center for the team?
In many cases I opted for talent over longevity of the playoff run. Yeah, 2V's rankings had Chris Hogan well above Jarvis Landry, and one could make the argument that you're best bet is a three game run of Hogan versus a likely one and done Landry, but I can maintain that Landry has a shot at 8 catches in his matchup, which is something you might not see from Hogan in three games.
Some people rank quantity over quality, I tried to reign it in a bit and keep it even. Because quality players sometimes have huge games and still lose.
Either way, here's the attachment for my fantasy playoff cheat sheet. Use only as directed.

Find information about Governors State players, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Governors State Athletics information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Governors State.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in McGill University rankings. Beyond consideration for Governors State players, you may think about South Dakota State courses offered for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

A Visit to the Zoo
Ryan, Great 7
Last weekend, my father wanted to take us out somewhere. So we decided to go to the zoo. My mother made some sandwiches and packed some fruits. Father took his camera along, and we all left for the zoo.
Outside, it was warm and sunny. After an hour's drive, we reached the zoo. The place was crowded. There were vendors selling balloons, caps, eatables and lot of other things.
My father bought three tickets and we all walked into the zoo. Inside we boarded a small train which took us around the park. I was so excited that I kept jumping on my seat.
As the train moved slowly around the park, we saw a lion, a white tiger, hippopotamus, deer, giraffes, mongoose, bison, wolves and hyenas.
After the train ride, we sat in a restaurant and had our lunch. While walking around the zoo, I saw boards which warned us not to feed the animals. I could not understand the reason behind it. When I asked my father about it, he explained that our food might harm the animals. He also told me that the zoo authorities take care of the animals in best possible manner.
After lunch, we left for our home though I wanted to stay back and go for the train ride again.

Thanksgiving is the ALL American holiday, it's a day where the dining table is set and families gather to enjoy a true feast. For some it's a traditional family-style meal with classics like, a dressed turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and homemade pumpkin pie – tried-and-true family recipes that are counted upon year after year.
Some choose to spread their wings when it comes to the Thanksgiving menu with trending flavors, regional specialties or simply creating new traditions. I'm bringing you a Thanksgiving menu that will appeal to traditionalists and trend-setters alike. That's right! No tofurky or turducken here, just turkey, but expect a few tasty surprises along the way!
1. Crisp-Skinned Butterflied Roast Turkey With Gravy: The star of the show, the moment everyone waits for on Thanksgiving Day… the turkey. Here is a no-fail recipe to the ever elusive moist, tender meat and crispy skin. Sure, it may not serve as la pièce de résistance for the centerpiece, but who cares after it's carved and smattered with gravy anyway?!
2. Classic Sage and Sausage Stuffing: You may call it dressing, I call it stuffing, but it doesn't matter because this is the stuff that Thanksgiving dreams are made of.
3. Pressure Cooker Butternut Squash Risotto with Frizzled Sage and Brown Butter: Go on and give squash the love it truly it deserves! Sure, it may sound complicated, but I assure you it's not. In fact, it requires very little cooking effort and tastes amazing!
4. The Ultimate Homemade Green Bean Casserole: Go ahead and use French's canned fried onions, instead of frying up your own, we won't tell!

McConnell's Mill
|Photo by Bob Fagley
McConnell's Mill State Park was honored with a National Natural Landmark in 1974. The historic grist mill was built along the quick flowing Slippery Rock Creek in 1868. The mill processed corn, oats, wheat and buckwheat for 60 years in western Pennsylvania. The park centers around the stream and its 400 foot deep gorge. House sized boulders line the creek, adding a fun and exciting playfield along the water's edge. Although the creek is 50 miles long and lined with slippery rocks, it was thought that a natural oil seep made one particular rock, the slippery rock. Park visitors are warned of the dangers associated with the creek's swift waters, treacherous rapids and deep pools, and swimming is strictly forbidden.

Aggie agitation: Not exactly Kent State
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Who knew wimpiness could infect macho Texas? Must be the transplants. How else to explain protesters who require a noise-free protest?
The alleged ruckus took place earlier this month at Texas A&M, home of the Aggies in College Station. Berkeley, this is not. Or it didn't use to be.
Following a Feb. 3 campus protest against war with Iraq, many of the same people held a vigil later that day at the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue. As A&M's student newspaper, The Battalion, notes, the area around Sul Ross is one of three free-speech zones where university-recognized student groups may gather. Such zones have become popular in recent years with campuscrats interested in controlling the flow of free discourse by dictating where and when speech may take place and, ultimately, who hears it. Exactly what a university experience should be all about.
At the same time the protesters were gathered in their university-designated speech zone, the Ross Volunteer Honor Corps association was conducting its daily training. The Corps is a select division of the Texas A&M Corps that serves as the honor guard for Texas' governor. Every Monday and Wednesday, as The Examiner magazine reports, the Ross Volunteers meet at the Sul Ross statue to train and remember their namesake. Ross was a 19th-century soldier, state senator, governor and A&M president. The Ross Volunteers carry demilitarized rifles -- meaning they don't work, can't harm and are ceremonial only -- and sing to keep rhythm while jogging.
According to a vigil attendee quoted in The Battalion, the Corps "ran around the area screaming and yelling. Our ministers had to stop speaking. Some of the cadets glared [at us]." Furthermore, said the Rev. Danita Noland in The Examiner, "We had to stop talking quite often. It was so loud, with the jogging and the commands being called out and answered to and the drills being carried out. We could not be heard." And, she asserts, cadets pointed their useless weapons in a "menacing way."
And the chant while jogging? "Some say freedom is free, but we know Aggies who paid the price." Oh. No.
As often happens, recollection is in the eye of the beholder. While vigil attendees felt threatened by glares and menacing brandishing of weapons that don't work, an observer to the events told The Battalion, "There was no contact between the groups. The group of about 150 [cadets] did their normal drills, but they didn't do anything to intimidate the group. No one drew their weapons or made any intimidating gestures."
So what's an in-charge type to do on a college campus when contradictory information surrounds An Incident? Kowtow to the offended party, of course. It's the higher-education way. Apparently without even a hearing, the Corps was temporarily suspended and can't hold activities -- that's pending an investigation, not after an investigation determined actual wrongdoing.
But reviewing available information would indicate nothing happened to warrant a suspension anyway. The vigil attendees were outnumbered. So what? They chose to hold an event at a place regularly attended by a 100-plus group of jogging, yelling cadets. Grab a microphone or choose another place or pick another time.
And what if some cadets tossed a glare or two? Look away. A scowl is still legal, even within university-controlled, speech-zone real estate. As for the pointing of nonlethal weapons: They can't hurt you. They're not real. Where are the protesters of old? What happened to the grit, the determination, the backbone? When did activists start getting riled by meanies across the quad?
Alas, they've been squashed underneath the weight of the sensitivity doctrine: Silence whenever possible those with whom you don't agree.
It feels better.

Powerco delivers positive outcome

Powerco delivers positive outcome and continues strong focus on growth
Powerco's commitment to sustainable operational performance and strong focus on growth in 2002 and beyond, was reconfirmed today by Chairman, Mr Barry Upson at the company's annual meeting.
"Our management team and staff will continue their ongoing improvements in cost control and network reliability while maintaining our historical growth through asset acquisitions wherever possible," he said.
"Powerco has delivered another positive outcome for all stakeholders during the year," said Mr Upson.
Net Profit after tax increased 10% to $33.0 million for the year ending 31 March 2002, and total revenue was up almost 15% to $163.1 million. This revenue was derived from an increased asset base of $867.6 million (up 17% on last year). The 2002 result reflects the company's improved financial performance and the additional revenues achieved from acquisitions made during the year. A fully imputed final dividend of 7.2 cents per share, and interim dividend of 5.9 cents per share, for the year to 31 March 2002, were paid in June 2002 and December 2001 respectively. This equates to a full year dividend of 13.1 cents per share and has exhausted the company's imputation credit account. This outcome is an improvement of 4.8% compared with the previous year's dividend of 12.5 cents per share.
Mr Upson said the result represented another solid performance by the company and was in line with the revised forecasts issued in late 2001.
Another key highlight was the issue of $100 million Capital Bonds in May 2002. The money raised from the issue was used to refinance the short-term debt arranged to purchase the Hutt Valley and Porirua gas assets. "The priority allocation to shareholders and existing bondholders was oversubscribed by around 140% and required scaling to achieve wide distribution amongst the applicants. This is a positive reflection on Powerco's recent financial results and the company's history of growth through mergers and acquisitions over recent years," he said.
"Our position in Australia has been consolidated with the purchase of three field services operations in Queensland in June of this year. These operations provide construction and maintenance services to electricity network owners, property developers and large businesses. The acquisitions will strengthen our sound financial results, and are expected to generate gross revenues of around $25 million per annum. There are substantial opportunities for further growth in this fast growing part of Australia.
"The focus on growth of our core business - the ownership of electricity and gas networks - will also continue. Powerco has accounted for over 90% of the mergers and acquisitions in the New Zealand energy distribution sector in the last 10 years, and the purchase of Hutt Valley and Porirua gas assets in July 2001 has cemented our strong position in the New Zealand market place," Mr Upson said.
"We will also continue our focus on growing Powerco revenue through the provision of asset management and network services to the owners of other lines and pipes assets both in New Zealand and through our investment in Australia," said Mr Upson.
Powerco Chief Executive, Mr Steven Boulton said that the company had successfully worked through a number of major developments and events this year.
"Our new pricing structure to electricity retailers, implemented in November 2001, contains no fixed daily charges for residential consumers. The government requested that lines companies provide an option which offers a 10% fixed component for residential users, and we provide a 0% fixed component for all residential consumers," Mr Boulton said.
Network reliability indicators such as the frequency and duration of outages had risen marginally this year, due to the 1-in-30 year storm experienced in the Central Plateau in August 2001. However, Powerco's performance continued to deliver better than average outcomes when compared to its peers.
"We are pleased our financial performance, network management and cost containment strategies are achieving the targeted results with positive trends over the past three years. Our performance demonstrates that Powerco is well positioned for the future," said Mr Boulton.
Forthcoming regulatory issues remain a prime focus for the company. A number of the regulatory regimes currently being proposed by some industry participants would have significant cost impacts on the industry and as a consequence, increase costs to consumers. Powerco is actively involved in the discussion processes on these matters.
"We have purposely taken a more proactive and constructive role on regulatory issues over recent times, to stimulate debate and encourage an outcome that delivers value for all stakeholders," said Mr Boulton.
"It was pleasing to see the Commerce Commission taking a balanced view on regulation with the release of a number of industry documents. However, New Zealand remains on the precipice at the moment, a change in regulatory structure to the draconian heavy-handed approach used overseas will inevitably cause an increase in prices to consumers," he said.
"The most important fact at the present time is that New Zealanders currently enjoy the lowest delivered prices of electricity in the world – and this is delivered without the need for intrusive regulation. In Powerco's case we have delivered a real price reduction of approximately 10% to consumers since 1999," said Mr Boulton.
Mr Upson said the response to Powerco's industry discussion document (the Power Plan) from a range of industry players and policy makers had been very positive. He noted that this contribution to the discussion, which has been traditionally dominated by the collective views of the major generator/retailers, has been welcomed by the key stakeholders, including political, industry and user groups, as an alternative and fresh viewpoint.
Taranaki-based Powerco is New Zealand's third largest electricity and gas utility with around 205,000 consumers connected to networks in Taranaki, Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu, Wairarapa and Wellington and has more than 16,000 shareholders. Powerco also has an operational base in Australia.
