These are basic "builder grade" 13 or 14 seer heat pumps featuring durable scroll compressors and a louvered metal jacket to protect the condenser coil from damage. The brand is a part of INGERSOLL RAND but the warranty is not very good when compared to other brands.
This brand is from INTERNATIONAL COMFORT PRODUCTS which is a part of UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORP. The PERFORMANCE SERIES N4H4 model is a basic heat pump with a wire grille to protect the condenser coil which does not actually do much. The DURACOMFORT DELUXE 16 is a premium heat pump with sound reducing features such as a compressor blanket and quietshift technology when going into the defrost mode.
The DURACOMFORT DELUXE 18 is their offering in the ultimate category as the units have five stages of compressor operation as well as a variable speed fan for quiet and efficient operation. The brand only uses a wire mesh protection for the condenser coil and their guarantee is not as good as some of the other brands. The brand is only available through authorized dealers in the USA and Canada.
This brand is from ALLIED AIR ENTERPRISES INC. which is owned by LENNOX INTERNATIONAL and they are sold through dealers in the USA. The 4SHP13LB units are 13 seer units with a scroll compressor for durability and an insulated compressor for quiet operation. They also use QuietShift technology for smoother transitions in and out of the defrost mode. The 4SHP16LS models are premium units that have a two stage compressor to more closely match the load requirement of the home but their warranty in this category is not as good as others.
The 4SHP20LX is their entry in the ultimate category of heat pumps and it has a 20 SEER efficiency rating but the guarantee is not as good as some of the other brands. All of the units feature their MHT technology which enhances heat transfer in the outdoor unit and provides for a compact unit.

INA, Ill. -- Rend Lake College's press guide puffed with promise:
"Ricky Cummings brings his L.A. game to Ina."
"Safe to say," the player profile began, "very few RLC students have come to Ina by way of L.A."
Safe to say the next one who does will get more scrutiny.
As a basketball player, Mr. Cummings never lived up to the hype. He never played in a game.
He proved much better at another game he brought from Los Angeles, a game of double identity and cocaine trafficking, police say.

Addicted is a strong word but I am using it wisely.
I am addicted to shopping.
Sydney's Pitt Street is one of my favourite places to shop. Not only does it have the best cafes but high street stores such as Zara, Toyshop, H&M and luxury brands such as Chanel, Prada, Michael Kors and Ted Baker.
I went shopping about two months ago and did some major damage to the old bank account and thought I'd show you some of my favourite items that I found.
Z a r a J u m p e r | I am in love with this slouchy jumper from Zara. It was around $45 which is a steal for such amazing quality. This jumper/shirt is oversized and slushy in all the right areas and is super versatile. It goes with jeans, skirts and pants.
Zara is an amazing place to find such steals and is one of those shops where you have to look in every nook and cranny for something delicate. The shop usually restocks every two weeks so go which means I'm poor by the end of the month. Ha ha.
M i c h a e l K o r s E s p a d r i l l e s | I have to admit that these were a pricey pair of shoes ($130 to be exact) but I wear them everyday. They are comfy and the colour goes with everything. The leather is soft and it looks better with every wear.
These shoes and I were meant to be - they were the last pair in this colour and my size in the entire store and I adore them!
T e d B a k e r S h o u l d e r B a g | I have been lusting over a Ted Baker bag for years and this was one perfect when I bought it. It's reversible with a tan side and black side and a gorgeous gold chain. It's versatile but doesn't hold much which is a shame.
But a lot has changed since I bought this bag - I still adore the bag no doubt - but I've been using backpacks more often and boy oh boy does it store much more and not hurt my shoulders!
I think I may talk about my bag choices in another blog post and an in-dpeth review of Zara cause it a piece of heaven.

Effect of losing a PG (no, he's not pro yet)
Effect of losing a PG (no, he's not pro yet)
First of all, this is not to proclaim that D-Mo WILL go pro, only to state what the effects MIGHT BE IF HE DOES. This is an analytical approach to what next year might look like without D-Mo IF he chooses the NBA.
We all know the effects of losing average PGs. We lost three two years ago (Merritt, Lee, and Grady) and our offense went down in flames. Most noticably, our 3PT% went down. Our team chemistry seemed to go down the toilet too. So, three areas of effect: 3PT%, chemistry, and overall offense.
Merritt was over 40% for his career, but shot only 51 3PTs.
Lee was at 36% his senior season, and shot 52 attempts that year.
The team total in 08-09 was 920 3PAs, and in 09-10: 760 3PAs.
Team clearly got fewer 3PAs the following year. The team also went down in shooting percentage. Correlation, but I believe this stems from causation. We lost ~100 attempts, which were falling at a 37% clip. That's about 100 points. Those points could have been made up by higher averages from other players, but we went from 67 to 64 PPG. That, over 33 games, makes 100 points of difference. So, in all those close games, the team lost points by missing the above average 3 point shooting of the PGs.
Luckily, this doesn't really matter in terms of D-Mos RAW shooting numbers. He doesn't shoot the three very well. But, he does set up the 3 for others very well.
I'll be back next time to look at the other aspects. (This took more time than I thought to write up...)

Yesterday, when I read my daily devotional book, My Utmost For His Highest, I was encouraged and challenged like most days. The author, Oswald Chambers, says, "A life of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another, like soaring on eagle's wings, but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency, a life of walking without fainting (see Isaiah 40:3)…It is a faith that has been tried and proved and has withstood the test."
Scottish born Chambers, who in my head I just call Oswald or OC, has been encouraging me and challenging me through his daily reader for almost two decades. Even though he is long gone from this world, his wisdom and insight live on. He was only 43 years old when he died in 1917 from complications after having his appendix removed. Oswald, an artist, a dog lover, a lover of nature and books and lost souls, a minister, teacher, evangelist and Chaplin to soldiers in the war, died just before his first book went to print. His wife, Gertrude, who Oswald affectionately called "Biddy" which is short for the nickname he gave her, "Beloved Disciple", dedicated the rest of her life to transcribing books from the notes she had taken from Oswald's lectures and sermons. Overall she published thirty books with her husband's name on each one. My Utmost for His Highest is his best seller and a constant source of inspiration in my life.
I have quoted Oswald a lot in my three and a half years of blogging. In the editing phase of my book, I had an assignment to obtain permission from certain publishers of certain authors I quoted — Oswald Chambers' publisher was at the top of the list. I was back and forth with a gentleman by the name of Mr. Rock from Discovery House Publishers, who handled such requests. By the end of our interactions, I was so honoured to be granted the permission to use Oswald's quotes and I considered the very kind and encouraging Mr Rock a new friend.
Anyway, back to yesterday's reading, Oswald went on to say this about faith: "Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason— a life of knowing Him who calls us to go. Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world." OC
Let's read that last part again: "…one of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world." It would be easy to have faith if having faith guaranteed success, if it meant never facing adversity, if it meant getting what you wanted, but that's not how it works.
When Mike was first diagnosed with ALS, a couple of people told me that it couldn't be God's will for Mike to have this terrible disease and that we just needed to keep praying for God's will and Mike would surely be healed. Well, I did pray everyday that God would heal Mike, but I also had faith to believe that whether Mike was healed or not, we were in God's will and this is what His will looked like for us right then…whether we liked it or not.
This is faith: Believing that there is absolutely nothing God cannot do, even when He doesn't save you from ALS (or in Oswald's case, appendicitis). Walking with Him even when your legs are rendered useless. Trusting Him to make every decision in your life whether you like it or not. Knowing that for those who love Him, all things work together for good (Romans 8:28) and He has your best interest at heart.
This is faith: Without a shadow of a doubt, He will see you through whatever He leads you
God is so much more interested in our souls than our cells. Our physical bodies just house us. Of course He cares about every aspect of our lives, but He loves who we are underneath it all. Redeeming our souls is His goal. The part of us that doesn't parish; our souls—He sent His Son to save them. The body, along with the ALS or MS or cancer or whatever, just turns back to dust.
"There will come one day a personal and direct touch from God when every tear and perplexity, every oppression and distress, every suffering and pain, and wrong and injustice will have a complete and ample and overwhelming explanation." Oswald Chambers

Our client acknowledged that health care is a highly complex system. They wanted to pioneer a healthcare model that would connect patients to the right care at the right time, and so they asked us: How might we enable consumers to effectively navigate their system of care in a way that would fit their health needs, budget, and lifestyle.
We kicked off the project with the cross-functional team listing key assumptions and questions related to the consumer care journey. We then talked to health care consumers directly about their needs and frustrations in navigating their care, which allowed us to create an informed view of the current state journey.
Amongst the high-level insights, we discovered that the more people used the care system, the less they trusted it. Also, depending on their needs, they searched for care in significantly different ways. And when faced with more complex care scenarios, people lacked the tools to effectively manage and coordinate their care. Drawing from our knowledge of behavioral science, and concepts such as choice overload, status quo bias and default bias, we knew that these frustrations caused a lack of engagement that would predispose patients to choose immediately available options with little regard for cost or quality. This resulted in unnecessary expenses for both patients and our client.
Considering these insights, we created four care scenarios that accounted for the spectrum of care ranging from preventative care to the treatment of complex chronic conditions. For each of these care scenarios, we created a customer journey and a service blueprint that would help bring the new services to life. These services included lifestyle-based matching with primary care physicians, increased ease of scheduling, bundled treatment pathways covering the spectrum from self-care to surgery, and digital tools and concierge services that would help patients navigate their care.
The result was a detailed and informed plan that helped our client make better strategic choices with the consumer in mind. As requested by our client, the future-state experience was based on network strategies and leveraged opportunities for bundled care. For patients, it provided high-quality experiences and outcomes at the lowest cost.

Some days it seems like this entire journey was just a week ago and other days it feels like it was a lifetime ago. Either way, not a day passes by that I do not thank God for blessing me with such an incredible team of doctors and nurses who were truly able to give me my life back.
So much has happened since I last updated you guys! After completing my internship in Lubbock with KLBK News last August, I went back to the University of Alabama and started my junior year! The fall semester was filled with sixteen hours of upper division classes, plenty of football and even a birthday.
Since surgery, I have made it my mission to never be afraid of trying something new or something that might seem "impossible." So, I took a leap of faith in September and began applying for my dream internship with a national television network in New York City.
After a series of interviews, I landed a full semester internship with CBS News. (Still feels like a dream saying that!) In January, I packed up my bags and made the move to the Big Apple for five months. This was truly the experience of a lifetime! I learned so much and met some really awesome people.
Since returning back to Alabama I have been busy hitting the books again and knocking out a class this summer. I will start the second semester of my junior year at the Capstone in August!
I have never felt better than the way I do now and that is all because of this surgery. Days filled with unexplained exhaustion, debilitating headaches and terribly disturbed vision are long gone! And as far as post-operation symptoms go, my sleep is not 100% but certainly better than the 30 minutes of sleep a night I was getting after surgery. Rarely, I will have tiny spots in my vision but it has improved drastically since surgery.
I usually hear from at least one person every other week from anywhere across the country or even around the world that has come across my blog and is experiencing a lot of the same symptoms I did prior to surgery or are preparing for surgery!
The Lord has provided in ways that I could have never even dreamed possible two years ago. With over 50,000 views on the blog and hits from 50+ different countries, I firmly believe that God placed me on this path with plans that I could potentially help someone else going through the same thing.
I am eternally grateful to all of you who prayed for me, encouraged me and loved me through this experience.
If you are having debilitating headaches, please see your doctor. Brain health is so incredibly important.
To contact me with any questions or comments, feel free to send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com!
All my love,

JoLynne Knelsen's daughter Ava just turned one on Monday — a milestone birthday they weren't sure they'd ever see.
She knew her pregnancy wouldn't be a normal one: a prior health condition ruled out Knelsen going full-term. She wasn't even sure she'd ever be able to get pregnant at all.
But 23 weeks into her pregnancy, Knelsen's water broke.
"Everything was going through my mind," she recalled. "I had a thousand different questions. It was a pure panic attack."
She was hospitalized and, a week later, Ava was born.
The baby girl would spend 98 days in Regina's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Knelsen, who's from Moose Jaw, stayed with her daughter at the Regina General Hospital for seven weeks before going to stay with a family friend in Regina.
"It was very hard, very draining," Knelsen said of her daughter's time in the NICU. "It was a long time to be worried, scared to answer the phone."
She credits the team of nurses in the NICU that helped her family get through the ordeal.
"We wouldn't have been able to stay sane without them. They were there just as much for us as they were for our daughter," she said. "I can't even describe how much everything — the Radiothon and the staff and all the services and stuff they provide — it kind of kept us afloat to the next day."
Today, Ava is a happy one-year-old.
"(It's) super exciting that we've come this far but emotional … we didn't think we'd get that chance," Knelsen said.
The Knelsens are the poster family for this year's Z99 Radiothon, which raises money for Regina's NICU.
"It means everything," Knelsen said of the event. "It helps make Regina one of the best places where you could have your baby."
The Radiothon takes place on March 16 and 17, with the Z99 Morning Show broadcasting live from the Cornwall Centre.

Speed Gains Part I - Sprint Training
For some, speed work conjures up nightmarish visions of a weak, wheezing, version of oneself, barely moving, in a state of deep existential pain. For others, it is the gateway to feeling fully alive, fully invigorated.
There is no denying it, sprint training is incredibly demanding. Since it asks the body to work at maximum effort, with varying recovery periods, it isn't for the faint of heart. The incredible benefits this method of training can bring to anyone interested in fat loss, building strength, and those looking to gain a high-return from an efficient amount of invested training-time are numerous. Coupled with the fact that speed work does not result in some of the detrimental aspects of steady-state endurance work (read: aerobic) while concurrently building the body's aerobic capacities equally well, there is no reason why this kind of training should not be integrated into a regular training regimen. Since sprint training activates the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous system in symphony, its benefits are realized in many ways throughout the mind and body.
Before addressing the great physical benefits of sprint training, one of the primary advantages of this kind of workout is incredible efficiency. Short, intense, interval workouts produce high returns in short amounts of time, making them ideal for those looking to optimize their efforts in the gym.
Sprint workouts (anaerobic) don't require a large amount of time compared to purely aerobic training because of their high intensity. In this light, the government-recommendation of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, 4-5 times per week is rendered unnecessary. One can reap the strength and fat loss benefits of sprint training with a mere ten-minute workout. The key is applying maximal effort.
Fat Loss, Body Composition, and Insulin Sensitivity
Brief, intense bursts of sprinting have been proven to have positive fat loss results. The high degree of effort required by sprinting means a large caloric expenditure. Short, intense intervals also result in a significant post-calorie burn (aka: Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption - EPOC), providing fat-loss benefits long after the workout's completion! This kind of training also increases the anabolic hormones that improve body composition - IGF-1 and Human Growth Hormone
A study conducted at the University of Glamorgan observed that six 30-second sprints three times per week (a weekly aggregate of 9 minutes)_can have the same weight loss benefits as jogging up to 45 minutes various times a week. Even at one 45-minute aerobic session per week, we have a 5:1 ratio of invested total training time.
Other studies have observed both fit and obese subjects improve their muscle oxidative potential to a degree comparable to, or higher than, aerobic-based training of the same amount of time. The skeletal muscle adaptations that the body undergoes through sprint training result in improved fat burning potential and improved glucose tolerance. Muscles also become more efficient at relying on fat for energy and conserve glycogen stores! This is a massive benefit to those looking to improve body composition!
One study observing two exercise groups, one group exclusively performing steady-state aerobic work while the other trained in sprint intervals concluded that while both groups improved cardiovascular fitness, only the sprinting group had significant reductions in total body mass, fat mass and fasting plasma insulin levels! Overweight subjects also lost more fat compared to leaner ones.
The effects of sprint interval training on fasting insulin and insulin resistance are very significant. A review analyzing all studies that have looked at insulin response to sprint training observed advantages of between a 23-58% increase in insulin sensitivity in people young and old, and with various levels of fitness. Boosts in human growth hormone have also been observed in women
All these factors together provide a powerful cocktail for fat loss, while not compromising lean muscle mass.
Build Muscle without Sacrificing Endurance
Studies observing sprinters indicate that this type of training can build muscle mass and strengthen fast-twitch muscle fibres. Fast-twitch muscles are great for rapid, explosive movements and since they consume high amounts of energy they are an important tool toward maintaining a lean body. Sprint interval training helps build muscle by improving protein synthesis pathways by 230%! This means large gains for minimal effort.
With less than ten minutes per week of high intensity sprint training, moderately active subjects have been observed to double their endurance capacity, thereby improving aerobic fitness. This means that peoples' ability to do endurance work was improved without actually doing any long distance training! This kind of thinking counters the conventional line that training more, for longer is the only way to maintain a lean, strong body. Other studies have observed dramatic improvements to aerobic capacity after only six sessions of sprint interval training.
Intervals at high speeds also lead the body to use energy more efficiently by increasing the amount of glycogen that can be stored. Preserving muscle glycogen and training the body to use fat for fuel results in a prolonged work capacity. In a 2005 study, researchers observed that "time to exhaustion" more than doubled in their subjects. In other words, subjects improved their ability to work harder for longer periods of time by using sprint training.
Coach's notes: All faculties of fitness subscribe to a hierarchy, those that demand more from the Nervous and Endocrine Systems sit at the top of the tier and when trained, positively affect those on the lower rungs of the tier. This is a top-down system. The benefits do NOT however flow upstream from the bottom levels of the tier to the top. Sprint training is a perfect example of how to improve the aerobic system, while working in the more demanding anaerobic system.
Mental Toughness
Sprint training helps build focus and determination. When executed properly, sprint training is more mentally and physically taxing, in a shorter amount of time, than steady-state endurance work. Asking the body to work at maximum effort requires a mind willing to bear a degree of discomfort.
Sprint-work demands your full attention on the task at hand while pushing through the pain and discomfort will require your will-power. This method of training requires that you devote all of both your mental and physical reserves; you simply must be fully committed and present, thinking about what you are going to make for dinner during a sprint is not an option. And as such, this is an excellent way to develop your focus, resolve and pain tolerance.
This kind of training can also compliment other aspects of our daily lives, since the mental toughness this builds can train the mind to improve its degree of comfort and determination in stressful situations. Also, the mental clarity gained from focusing solely on ourself for a time can be incredibly refreshing in our world of distractions.
Injury Protection
In addition to its positive health benefits, sprint training (particularly hill sprints) can protect against knee injuries by encouraging trunk, pelvis and foot stability. The proper body movement needed in order to scale a hill quickly, optimizes the force generated by the legs in a way that encourages functional muscle development around the knee joint.
Avoiding the Costs of Aerobic Work
Prolonged aerobic work can cause high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can interfere with the body's natural hormone cycles, affecting sleep and weight loss as well as increasing inflammation and the production oxidative stress. There is little evidence indicating similar stress is caused by sprint intervals. Some research even suggests sprint training decreases cortisol levels and negatively affects (reduces) chronic inflammation. Aerobic training's reduction in lean muscle and its stresses on the adrenals and immune system also don't appear to occur with sprint training.
In Sum
Sprint training is hardly ever mentioned by the large endurance sport industry that promotes high volume endurance and distance running. One can wonder at the reasons why, but on an individual level, many people do not try this kind of work out of a sense of self-consciousness, and because there aren't large social networks surrounding sprint training.
Embracing the challenge of sprint training can not only improve your physical performance and help maintain a lean body. The mental benefits it provides can also have a spill-over effect into the rest of our daily lives. It will indeed be a challenge, but one that can easily be surmounted and adopted as a way to improve the mind and body in a multitude of ways.

New Models of Care: Navigating the procurement landscape
Procurement in the context of New Models of Care is getting a great deal of airtime at the moment…
Published 28 June 2016
Clearly the one thing on most peoples' minds at the moment is Brexit and what it means for their lives both personally and professionally. As procurement lawyers, we had already given a great deal of thought to what an "out" vote could mean for public procurement law.
Well at the moment, nothing changes; this includes the thresholds despite the current value of the pound against the Euro.
Article 50 needs to be invoked by the UK giving formal notice, following which there will be at least two years of negotiations. In the meantime the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and the Concession Contracts Regulations ("the Public Procurement Regulations") apply and are in full force. This means that contracting authorities need to continue to adhere to the rules in order to ensure compliance and bidders can continue to enforce their rights if they believe there has been a breach.
The Public Procurement Regulations are all national laws, based on an EU Directive. Each Regulation would need to be actively repealed in order to lose its effect.
We consider this is unlikely. We will still need some form of procurement law - the public sector will still need to purchase supplies, services and works. Underpinning English public life are the Nolan principles which the public sector will still have to act in accordance with. The Nolan principles include objectivity, accountability, openness and honesty, all key considerations when spending public money.
It is important to note that some of the UK's procurement rules do not derive from European law and are examples of the importance of public procurement law domestically. These include the National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013, which legislate how commissioners purchase health services for the NHS, and the below threshold regime within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The principles within the Public Procurement Regulations are internationally accepted and therefore the procurement regime is unlikely to change substantially. The World Trade Organisation's Agreement on Government Procurement which already features in the Public Procurement Regulations, sets out many of the basic procurement principles such as the rules on technical specifications and advertisement. Many other jurisdictions which are not part of the World Trade Organisation have similar rules.
This depends on the outcome of the negotiations and what the Government wishes to achieve.
Should the UK elect to join the European Free Trade Association and then become part of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), nothing is likely to change. EEA countries have very similar procurement rules; this includes the availability of the remedy of a declaration of ineffectiveness for above threshold contracts. Although, we don't see many opportunities from EEA countries in the Official Journal of the European Union, there is a still a requirement to advertise opportunities for public contracts.
If the UK government does not join the EEA, then the Agreement on Government Procurement is likely to apply in any event. This could mean changes in relation to the enforcement, as although under the Agreement on Government Procurement bidders must have the right to challenge procurement processes, the remedies they can seek are not defined.
Therefore, in our view, there is no need for public procurement professionals (and lawyers!) to retrain - public procurement law in some form will be here to stay.

When Hollywood condominium leader Murray Cohen got a check in an otherwise empty envelope from the pro-slot machine group Yes for Better Schools and Jobs, he was puzzled.
Cohen is for approval of the referendum, which would allow Las Vegas-style slot machines at racetracks and jai-alai frontons, but said he had not agreed to work for its passage.
The condominium leader said he never talked to anyone from Yes for Better Schools and Jobs, which is leading the campaign for approval of the March 8 referendum. So Cohen said he could come to only one conclusion.
"They are buying votes," said Cohen, a Democratic leader in Carriage Hills in west Hollywood.
Stacey Brenan of Yes for Better Schools and Jobs quickly denied the group is buying votes, but conceded it is paying influential Broward residents to spread the pro-slots message. Some of the payments are listed in the latest financial expenditure forms filed by the group on Feb. 15.
"We're running a campaign," Brenan said. "We're paying people to get the word out."
State law draws a distinction between buying votes and paying campaign workers. It is illegal to pay an individual to vote a certain way. It is legal to pay someone to campaign in favor of an issue.
"It's not out of the ordinary to pay somebody for helping arrange events or for passing out literature. In the old days, everybody did everything on a volunteer basis. Now everybody says, `What are you going to pay me?'" said Barbara Miller, a Hallandale Beach-based campaign consultant working for the pro-slots forces.
Joe Rosen and Marvin Simon are two long-time condominium leaders who say no pro-slot-machine money has been sent their way.
Rosen, of Sunrise Lakes in Sunrise, said all he has been offered is a breakfast today, along with other condominium leaders, at The Clock restaurant in Plantation.
Simon, longtime leader of Pine Island Ridge in Davie, said, "I've been offered nothing." He is undecided on the issue.
Rosen and Simon aside, the financial expenditure forms are a Who's Who of Broward political operators.
In the past two months, the pro-slot-machine committee paid $8,000 to Arthur Kennedy, a Fort Lauderdale black leader with a well-respected get-out-the-vote operation. Kennedy is the former Broward teachers union leader and the district aide for U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar.
The forms reported another $10,000 paid to BSE Consulting, which is run out of the Sunrise home of Barbara Effman, a West Broward Democratic Party leader and political consultant.
Shirley Sumner, a Sunrise Lakes condominium leader, got $257 for what is described in the financial documents as an "event."
Political consultant Russ Oster got $24,000, and get-out-the-vote consultant Judy Stern of Fort Lauderdale got $4,123. Miller received $16,000.
Jim Horne, the former state education secretary who is the leading spokesman for the pro-slots effort, got $6,039.
The largest expenditures did not go to Broward firms: $926,250 was paid to Pro-Media, a Massachusetts firm doing media work for the campaign; and $644,837 was paid to Mission Control, a Connecticut firm responsible for printing and mailing ads.
"They apparently have to buy support," said Robin Rorapaugh, a political operative with the anti-slots operation, Remember the Lottery.
Remember the Lottery reported Feb. 15 that it hadn't raised or spent enough money to file a campaign finance report. Rorapaugh said the organization was emphasizing speaking at meetings, taking part in debates and sending e-mails.
If the March 8 referendum is approved, slot machines would be allowed at Dania Jai-Alai in Dania Beach, Gulfstream Park and the Hollywood Greyhound Track in Hallandale Beach and Pompano Park Racing in Pompano Beach.
A separate referendum on the same day in Miami-Dade County will ask voters to allow slot machines at Calder Race Course, Miami Jai-Alai and Flagler Greyhound Track.

Experts are increasingly urging people to know their BMI, a figure that takes into account not just weight but also height to indicate body fat.
The more active you are, the more calories you burn. Running or jogging, for instance, burns more calories than bowling.
BMI, or body mass index, uses weight and height to calculate weight status for adults. BMI for children and teens also takes into account gender and age because healthy body fatness differs between boys and girls and changes as they grow. This BMI calculator will help you determine if your child is at a healthy weight.
There is an epidemic of obesity in this country, health experts say. But what is obesity? How is it measured?
Dieting is temporary when it comes to losing weight. To keep weight off you actually have to change your lifestyle. Why is it so hard? For one thing, we may not know as much as we think. Take our quiz to test your knowledge.
Find out how much you know about the newest dietary guidelines and how they differ from the old food pyramid.
The questions in this assessment ask about risk factors—conditions that may put you at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that the more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to develop diabetes.

(BLOOMINGTON) - A would-be robber would have stolen a Bloomington man's bag Friday night, but rather than surrendering, the victim pulled a knife on the robber.
The 20-year-old told police the attempted robbery happened around 10 p.m. The victim was walking home and was behind Best Buy, on East Third Street, when the robber approached him.
The robber, described as a black male in his late 20s or early 30s and who was about 5-foot-10 tall and was wearing baggy jeans and a gray or brown T-shirt, told the victim to drop his backpack.
The victim refused and then pulled a knife from his backpack and the man fled without stealing anything.
Anyone with information about the would-be robber is asked to call Bloomington Police.

Sokoto State government has launched a 1.4 million school enrollment for the next school session.
Considered Nigeria's largest school enrollment, the launch took place at Riji village, the birthplace of late Premier of Northern Nigeria, Sir Ahmadu Bello, which is in Rabah Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the event, Governor Aminu Tambuwal said his administration will turn around the fortunes of the education sector, adding that the campaign will primarily concentrate on community level activities, including house-to-house campaigns.
UNICEF's Acting Chief of Field Officer for Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi, Mr. Paul Mudzondo, said the event was unique and historic because apart from campaign for enrollment, government had provided stipends to poor families to support enrollment and maintenance of children, especially girls, in schools.
The post Sokoto targets 1.4m school enrollment appeared first on Vanguard News.

Just the other day, I was talking with my father, telling him that if the time ever comes when a boy shows interest in me that I would like to be courted. I've had this dream for quite some time now, and whenever I voice it, many people give me skeptical looks or make a scoffing remark. Not everyone understands my desire to have and to give my heart to just one man in my life. I've even had some tell me, "Well, good luck with that" as if I am delusional in thinking that there are any decent young men left in this world that would share my beliefs.
When I told this to my dad, his simple response was enough to give me more hope in believing my future husband is out there, waiting just for me.
"There are lots of guys out there that feel the same as you, Hogan. Don't worry."
He said this with such confidence that I knew it must be true. Just looking at my kind, loving father I know that there are still men out there that are capable of giving that special, one of a kind love that I wish for my future. They are out there, girls; we just have to be patient and trust that God will bring them to us in His time.
Of course, there are many boys out there who see dating as an opportunity to get with as many girls as they can, to see just who they can sway with their charms and claim as their own. I know that may sound a little harsh, but it's true, and I am sorry for that.
Just as equally, there are girls out there who want to be with as many guys as possible just because it is "cool" or expected by their peers. They are willing to give their heart to any boy that gives them the time of day, and they are sometimes willing to even do whatever he wants just to please him for fear that he will leave if she refuses.
And then when that boy loses interest, her heart breaks...and she tries to find another that could be her Prince Charming, that could be "the One".
Nowadays, society deems such dating acceptable. Boy meets girl. Boy flirts with girl, asks her on a date. Before you know it, they're an item doing everything together, acting as though they are head over heels in love--when they are actually just acting upon infatuation, not love. And relationships based purely on simply a crush or lust is a relationship that will not last.
But there is another way.
Instead of going out with whomever you please and setting yourself up for disappointment when you realize you do not know a person as well as you thought, you can choose to go about the whole dating thing cautiously.
For me, I make it clear to others that I have standards. I am not just some girl that can be taken by whoever takes a fancy to me. No, I stay low under the radar, not going anywhere near dating. To me, the term for dating has been corrupted. To nearly everyone now, dating is simply a game, a way to pass the time. A way to lose your heart.
You see, by going from guy to guy, having your heart broken and in turn breaking hearts, a girl gives a piece of her own heart away to every guy she goes out with. And years from now, when she is married and with children she may come to a rough spot in her life and look back on those years she spent dating all of those boys...and she might long for another man that is not her husband.
I don't think any girl wants that, right? You must guard your heart most diligently, protect and keep it for that one man that God has chosen for you. Love is something sacred and precious and not to be given lightly.
That is why, with all of my heart, I would love to be courted.
Perhaps you have not heard of courting, so I will try to explain it as best I can--though I might not have all the details a hundred percent accurate. In my mind, courting goes something like this: A girl and boy become friends, nothing more. They get to know each other as any friend would and they develop a bond accordingly. And then over time, they might both acknowledge that they have feelings for one another and that they might be ready for a serious relationship. It is then that the boy might ask if he could start courting the girl to see if they would be compatible for a romantic relationship. By courting her, he would take her out to public places (most likely accompanied by friends or family members) and they would try to see if they would make a good couple. Everything would be taken slowly; they might not even choose to kiss--or even hold hands--until they were engaged or even married. They would pray about it, of course, asking God if it was His will they were together. Courting is not something that is taken lightly. The boy and girl would be thinking of this relationship in terms of the future, to see if they would do well as a married couple.
Obviously, this is greatly varied from how dating is perceived by most teens and even adults. Of course, I am not saying that everyone who chooses to date is going about it in the wrong way, but I believe that courting is so much safer. Safer for you. For him. For your hearts. Because when you take your relationships as seriously as that, it is much more difficult for you to lose your heart to someone that you barely know and who could not be the one for you.
Never let others tell you that your beliefs are a waste or that you should stop trying so hard to go by God's standards. Because He already has your story planned out..you just have to be willing to give all of your trust to Him, to give Him your whole heart for protection until you find that man that He has for you. And when you find him, if he truly loves you he will listen to your beliefs and not try to force you into something you are not comfortable with.
Someday, I hope to marry the man that loves me unconditionally and that loves God even more. I want to be able to tell him that I waited for God to bring him to me and that I saved myself and my heart--my whole heart--just for him. It's possible, believe me. Even if you have already dated others and maybe even given parts of yourself away, it is never too late to ask your Heavenly Father to guide you in the right direction when it comes to finding the right one for you. God cares--He truly does--and He will never lead you wrong.
All it takes is faith, trust...and a little patience.
Did you know that Hogan wishes she had a '73 Corvette StringRay?!
Did you know that Jess's favorite season is summer?!

Long what? Long beans. As in green beans, on steroids.
I first saw and tasted long beans in Vancouver last summer at a wonderful "fusion" type of asian restaurant on the edge of Gastown. At least I think that's where it was. We'd actually tried to get into a Belgian restaurant first, and had to change our plans when it turned out to be more than backed up at the door. So we hit Wild RIce, a fantastic place with some amazing dishes and a really neat "freshly made, fast to the table, fabulously served" type of attitude.
At this restaurant the long beans came tied loosely and coated in a nice, rich sauce, with some finely minced veggies thrown in. And hot. No small feat, since the restaurant was completely devoid of heat lamps.
Long beans, I learned that evening, are a variety of green bean that is approximately one foot in length. They have the same colour as your run of the mill green bean, but the flavour, I've found, is slightly different. So is the skin -- it is slightly pebbled, rather than smooth, and I'd say a bit tougher - but that depends on freshness, I suspect.
Since Ottawa has an excellent Chinatown replete with vastly stocked asian food markets, I decided to make my own long beans when we got home. They're generally sold in a large bunch tied together with string or elastics, and if you dig at the pile, you can find nice fresh (read green, rather than mottled green and brown) beans in any of our asian food shops.
I don't know how else to cook them but in a steamer -- and in a good sized steamer, at that. I have tried this method a couple of times, and enjoyed the results. So now you get the "recipe", such as it is. This dish takes some fussy prep, but it's highly appreciated by all who consume it, in the end.
[Make sure to read the note at the end about timing, before you start!]
Bring a steamer pot of water to a rolling boil. Make sure you have the water level well below where the bottom of the steamer basket will be. If you don't have a steamer insert for any of your pots, nor a pasta pot with insert, you can improvise with a metal colander in a suitably sized saucepan - so long as a lid will cover the pot to trap steam. If not, go out and buy a large saucepan that has a steamer insert, for pete's sake!
While the water boils (or while your significant other goes out to buy a pot), clean and pare the brown ends off your beans. In fact, you should only have to trim one end of the bean, since the other end is usually just a rounded green edge. Take the time to do this one or two at a time, because you don't want your beans to have black ends or gunky tips. Lay the trimmed beans together in a straight pile.
Take your beans and bend them gently to fit into your steamer. It is easiest to do this in two or three lots, if you're cooking more than a couple of servings of beans. The beans are pliable, but take care not to snap any as you do. Don't overfill the steamer - if you do, the beans at the bottom will be overcooked, but the ones at the top will be uncooked!
Throw two cloves of garlic (peeled and with the base trimmed off) into the steamer with the beans. Put the steamer into the pot of boiling water, and cover.
Cook for a few minutes, checking periodically. You don't want the beans to turn that "overcooked bean" colour, aka khaki green. But you do want them to get somewhat tender. There's no magic figure for this cooking time, so plan to park yourself by the stove at this point.
In fact, why not make your sauce while you wait.
Pick one (or make up your own!):
Oyster sauce: Take 3 tablespoons oyster sauce and mix with one teaspoon water. Add a little ground black pepper, and a light shake of red chili pepper flakes if you'd like the spice. Whisk.
Hoi Sin sauce: Mix 2 tablespoons of Hoi Sin sauce with two tablespoons of water, some ground pepper, and red chili pepper flakes. If you'd rather use fresh chili peppers, go ahead...but tread lightly, and chop extremely finely. Whisk.
Also finely chop a bit of sweet red pepper - aim to make about a quarter cup. Set aside.
Set 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds to the side.
When your beans are just barely done, pull them from the pot, and drain. Cover with your sauce, toss very gently to coat. Don't worry about covering every bean perfectly. As you handle them, they'll get covered more evenly.
Now the painful part. Working one bean at a time (yes, I'm serious), and as fast as you can, tie each bean into a loose knot. It takes a bit of practice, but you can get the bean ends tucked up into the knot to make a green bean wreath, if you have decent dexterity. Place into a large shallow bowl, or on a deep platter. Tie, tie, tie, until all your beans are pretty little one and a half or two inch wreaths sitting in a big artsy pile.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and chopped red pepper, and grind some fresh black pepper over top.
Serve immediately (if you can, get your dinner guests to the table even as you finish tying the beans. Alternatively, use that nifty "hold warm" feature on your fancypants microwave to keep the beans warm while you herd butts into dining room chairs!).
This dish is fussy and time consuming. So make sure you're ready to go on all other fronts before you start the beans. It helps if your guests can amuse themselves or have someone else to play gracious host while you're tying beans in the kitchen. That said, if you get the beans done and you think they're cold, nuking them for a minute to reheat won't ruin the dish.
Why bother tying the beans? Because they're fun to eat that way, and more manageable. Chopsticks or fork, a tied long bean is much easier to pick up and get into the mouth. And (as you'll hear me say a lot) the presentation is amazing. Oohs and ahs all around.
As a production side note: I have, in the past, tied the beans before coating them in sauce -- but it's pretty hard to coat them after they're tied without having them come undone. So coat first, tie second. And be prepared to get sticky fingers in the pursuit of your long bean dish!

Considering ecological connectivity in spatial planning documents
A challenging mission for the Ecological Network Platform of the Alpine Convention
Members of the Ecological Network Platform of the Alpine Convention met in Valdieri in the Alpi Marittime Nature Park (I) at the beginning of November 2017. At the centre of the discussion was the work on the report commissioned by the Alpine Convention that aims at giving an overview about how aspects of ecological connectivity are currently integrated in spatial planning documents in the Alpine countries. Based on the analysis of a series of case studies, planning documents and expert interviews, the Platform will draft a state of the art report and formulate a number of conclusions that should be presented at the next Alpine Conference. The integration of ecological networks, wildlife corridors and green and blue infrastructure in spatial planning documents is the only sustainable way to insure the conservation of this vital ecological functionality. The report will highlight some examples of good practice and provide the opportunity to start a wider discussion on the topic.

Human-Nature Conflicts and how to overcome them
ALPBIONET2030 proposes a first overview of mediation and mitigation strategies for mountain areas
As a first result of the ALPBIONET2030 project, a report on the state of the art of current mitigation and mediation strategies in mountain areas is available. The study, led by Eurac Research, presents a collection of human-nature conflict case studies and mitigation strategies used in the Alps and in other mountain areas with indications on the transferability of results.
Human-wildlife interactions have always been a significant feature of mountain areas. In the last decades, conservation policies, demographic tendencies, ecological and topographic factors have together resulted in an intensification of this phenomenon in the Alps. These interactions of various kinds can have several negative impacts, both on human activities and on biodiversity conservation. Therefore, there is an absolute need to manage them efficiently from a social and ecological point of view in order to enhance cohabitation in a necessarily shared space.
Wildlife management has traditionally focused on reducing damages caused by animals on human activities, and vice versa. However, there is increasing acknowledgment among specialists that the social dimension of human-wildlife conflicts should constantly be taken into account to manage conflicts.
This work presents a sample of existing mitigation and conflict resolution approaches in mountain areas. It intends to emphasize the necessity to combine multi- and inter-disciplinary methods in order to reach a qualitative and stable level of human-nature coexistence that would enter into the scheme of a well-established ecological connectivity management throughout Alpine areas.
Public response to wildlife presence is namely considered as a prominent factor in the intensity of a conflict and an important area of work that is to be addressed through mediation approaches.
The present report also suggests that this social and recently considered component of the conflict could be the cornerstone for making the so-called conflict an opportunity to stimulate regional development in the Alps. Turning intense human reactions to wildlife presence into positive actions such as ecotourism development based on wildlife presence would be an example of this. For this reason, it would be necessary to first revise our ambition of "conflict resolution" and focus efforts on optimizing the management of human-wildlife interaction.
ALPBIONET2030 runs from November 2016 to December 2019 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme (Total budget: 2,637,285 € - 2,241,693 € ERDF grant). ALPARC is lead partner in this project.
"Ecological Connectivity for a Green Economy in the Alps" International Forum, Immenstadt (D)
International Forum Immenstadt (D), 28 September 2017, 9.30am – 4pm (7pm)
The conservation, restoration and creation of ecological connectivity are key elements in European and international nature protection policies. Stakeholders from numerous sectors are involved, adapting their daily activities or setting up particular measures to improve ecological connectivity. These activities support the conservation of biodiversity, but they also generate benefits in a regional socio-economic context and therefore contribute to greening the economy.
The GreenConnect project has studied the contributions of ecological connectivity measures to a green economy in the Alpine context and highlighted some of the potential socio-economic impacts. Based on the results of this study, that will be presented during the event, participants from research, Alpine Pilot Regions, administrations and representatives from different economic sectors are invited to discuss the implications, to suggest related project ideas and to participate in the drafting of a follow-up process.
The International Forum takes place in the Alpseehaus in Immenstadt (D) on 28 September 2017.
This event is organized in coordination with the "Business models for the sustainable use of natural resources in the Alpine region" Workshop organized as part of a process to develop an action plan for a Green Alpine Economy, taking place the day before (27th September 2017) in Immenstadt.
4th Video on ecological connectivity "Love without borders"
A short video to illustrate the importance of cooperation between the Alps and the Carpathians via the flat Danube river plains
Curious to know what happened to our friends the ibex, the bearded vulture and the fish? Want to learn more about the challenge of the red deer in the flat Danube river plains? A fourth short and humorous video clip about the importance of ecological connectivity in a specific geographical context is now being added to the existing series.
The short video clip that was developed in the frame of the cooperation between the networks of protected areas in the Alps (ALPARC) and the Carpathians (CNPA) and the Danube Protected Areas Network (Danube Parks) illustrates how landscape fragmentation may be a problem for wildlife in the intersection between these three European regions. Will we be able to see another happy ending? Take 2 minutes off and follow our red deer in their quest for love. The video is available on the ALPARC YouTube channel.
The ALPBIONET2030 project brings connectivity one step further – in the Alps and the surrounding territories
The beginning of the year was composed of numerous meetings for the ALPBIONET2030 project partners: a partners' meeting in the Kalkalpen National Park, one of the project working regions, bi- or plurilateral meetings to coordinate the work of the individual Work Packages and an experts' workshop to define the guideline to re-design the connectivity-mapping-tool JECAMI.
Mapping the results of the project was the central issue of many discussions during this time. The partners now agreed on a methodology and defined the adapted indicators to analyse, identify and map the Strategic Alpine Connectivity Areas (SACA), one of the key objectives of the project.
First data collection, analysis and mapping activities were also carried out concerning the wildlife management approaches of the different Alpine countries and regions.
Finally, a first round of surveys was launched in order to identify the main human-wildlife conflicts also linked to connectivity issues amongst different Alpine stakeholders. A further survey targeting a younger public of students is currently being developed.
The project homepage is now online and offers an interesting overview of the project activities and the advancement of the work: http://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/alpbionet2030/en/home. In addition to the project factsheet (in all Alpine languages) and a poster, a project flyer summarising the main project information will be available soon.
GreenConnect project: highlighting possible socio-economic effects of activities fostering ecological connectivity
A sunny day somewhere in the Swiss Engadin valley. Cries and laughter come from a group of usually stressed managers in a medium-sized Swiss company handling unusual tools for them: motor saws, brush cutters, and forks. The group is participating in a "nature day" event, a team building session where they participate in nature protection activities under the supervision of local farmers and biologists. Their activities of clearing meadows from bushes and trees contribute to safeguarding important habitats for specific plants and animals and improving ecological connectivity. The farmers involved in the project benefit from important additional work power and they get paid for hosting and overseeing the activities of the group.
This example is one of the numerous measures carried out to improve the functional links between habitats by the Alpine Pilot Regions for Ecological connectivity that were presented during the 2 Workshops that took place in the Eastern and Western Alps in March 2017.
The project partners of the GreenConnect project will now analyse in more detail the possible positive socio-economic effects of such activities in the concerned regions. The project should allow a widening of the approach to the topic of ecological connectivity by adding a social and economic dimension to the dialogue and provide additional arguments for the exchanges with the (local) stakeholders.
The results of this analysis will be presented at the project's final conference in autumn 2017.
Two new territories have joint the family of the Alpine Pilot Regions for ecological connectivity
At the XIVth Alpine Conference in Grassau (Germany) two new Pilot Regions were nominated by the Alpine Convention: the Achental Region (Germany) and the French part of the Ecoregion Mont Blanc.
The evaluation carried out by the Platform Ecological network of the Alpine Convention on the already existing 8 Pilot Regions has confirmed their valuable contribution to the implementation of a pan-alpine ecological network and their nomination has been confirmed for the upcoming 4 years.
Interesting details on the activities of the Pilot Regions can be found on the modules of the exhibition on Alpine Pilot Regions for Ecological Connectivity.
New publication on ecological connectivity in the Alps
The publication "Alpine Nature 2030 - Creating [ecological] connectivity for generations to come" edited in October 2016 gives an overview about twelve years' experience on ecological connectivity in the Alps and offers interesting perspectives for the evolutions of the upcoming years. Numerous experts and scientists have contributed to this publication. A large number of unpublished maps complete the articles that propose a detailed analysis on various topics such as the link between ecological connectivity and ecosystem services, the alpine Pilot Regions for ecological connectivity, the European and national policies on ecological networks, the cartography of alpine connectivity areas and many more.
This publication is available as open e-paper and can be downloaded as pdf.
Three short videos were realized to promote the publication, explaining in a simple and entertaining way the topic of ecological connectivity to a larger public.

Die Mär vom Wirtschaftshindernis Natura 2000 – aktuelle Studie schafft Klarheit!
Wien, 05.10.2016 (UWD). Die europäischen Naturschutzregelungen Fauna-Flora-Habitat- und Vogelschutzrichtlinie (FFH- und VS-RL) sind Grundlage für die Einrichtung von mittlerweile mehr
als 270 Natura 2000-Gebieten in Österreich. Obwohl die Richtlinien seit 1995 in Österreich in Kraft sind, bestehen immer noch Vorurteile und Ängste, wenn es um die Ausweisung neuer
Gebiete und die Umsetzung von Projekten geht. Einerseits, weil Österreich in der Schutzgebietsausweisung seit Jahren zu den EU-Schlusslichtern zählt und dadurch Verunsicherung
besteht, andererseits, weil diverse Vorurteile – wie etwa wirtschaftliche Benachteiligung durch eine Schutzgebietsausweisung – kursieren. Der Umweltdachverband beauftragte daher im
Rahmen des von EU und Bund geförderten Gemeinschaftsprojekts "gREen.watch" (Projektpartner BirdLife Österreich und WWF Österreich) die Technische Universität Wien (TU), den Zusammenhang zwischen Natura 2000 und Wirtschaft in einer umfassenden Studie zu erforschen.
