Paula has built a reputation for creating interesting and yet ever-so-simple concepts that deliver incredible results. A bit of a rogue marketer, she specializes in envisioning new approaches and unique solutions. In her corporate life, her strength was her ability to build collaborative teams. As a business owner, she translates that strength into teams with one clear goal: client success.
When she established Words@Work in 1993, Paula committed herself to helping clients identify the key elements of their vision and plan. Since then, Paula has provided concept and copy direction for clients large and small including: QVC, collectiblestoday.com, WebMD, Schiavi Home Builders, United Insurance, UNUM, and the Towns of Falmouth and Cumberland, ME. Sometimes, ideas take unique form. Paula's solution for VNA Homehealth Hospice resulted in the award-winning Ask for VNA campaign and set the organization well apart from other competitors. For the Town of Falmouth, addressing the needs of the retail business district led to the creation of Very Merry Falmouth – a three-day celebration that attracts hundreds of shoppers to the Route One corridor.
Paula believes that for organizations to succeed in today's ever-changing world, they must focus on genuine messages of value, benefit, and need. Paula has carefully crafted Words@Work to be an off-site marketing department instead of an ad agency.

Jenn brings an extensive background in marketing to the Words@Work team. Starting her marketing career in event management, she experienced evolving client relationships, the challenges of project management and demonstrated creative problem-solving skills. "I believe that trying to understand the process for each person you collaborate with on a project creates a team chemistry and greater commitment from everyone involved."
Jenn has successfully managed events ranging from one-day events in a single location, mobile tours that spanned months, to nationwide events executing simultaneously in multiple cities. A few key responsibilities included creating timelines, managing tasks of internal departments, communicating responsibilities to event staff, writing scripts, and on event day, ensuring all the parts and people are in the right place with the tools needed to execute the event as planned. Event management requires attention to detail and effective communication to achieve the goals and expectations of the client.
"Everyone wants to be appreciated and feel that their voices are really heard." Jenn believes there is an art to listening to what people are saying, as the words being said in the moment don't always convey the true goals. The culture and mission at Words@Work is perfectly in line with that philosophy. Each client is recognized as unique and the solutions to each project are found by listening intently to the clients' vision and creating solutions to achieve or surpass expectations.
Jenn received her B.S. in Business with a concentration in Marketing from University of Maine at Orono. She spends her free time watching her teenage sons, Jerod and Liam, play soccer, basketball, and baseball and also loves playing with her two dogs, Lola and Jojo.
"Delving into topics that help our clients is exciting for me! From research to writing, I get to learn along the way, which is a treat."
Eloise joined the Words@Work team in 2018. With a background in oral history and project management, she has a knack for finding unique ways to communicate our clients' stories and important ideas. Her curiosity and commitment to storytelling has led her to travel around the country in an airstream-trailer recording interviews, and through Vietnam and Madagascar researching the experiences of women.
Most recently, Eloise worked as a personal assistant and project manager in Silicon Valley where having an eye for detail and beauty, as well as an ability to work well with a variety of vendors and individuals was critical. Indeed, she helped coordinate 400-people events and oversaw renovation and construction projects.
Eloise holds a B.A. from Middlebury College in Anthropology and attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. She lives in Portland with her husband and daughter.
Samantha's background in design, sales, personnel management and the employment of puns brought her to the Words @ Work team in 2019. Following a foray into the schemes of political campaigns, Samantha spent three seasons in sales, marketing, and operations with the Portland Sea Dogs. In that fun-loving, all-American setting of the ballpark, Samantha was fortunate enough to work with many of the movers and shakers who propel Portland forward on all possible cylinders of the economy. She fell in love with the small-town community that Portland provides, and is committed to seeing the brands and businesses of our clients succeed as outstanding parts of that community.
"Baseball is all about coming home, and what an amazing joy it is to be home, the joy of being surrounded by your team. I want to help our clients to create their home here in Southern Maine, so that they can experience that same kind of joy and success in community that makes their efforts worth every at-bat."
Samantha holds a B.A. degree in Politics, Spanish, and Fine Arts from Hillsdale College in southern Michigan. She lives in Cape Elizabeth and enjoys bonfires, baseball, hockey, hiking, and playing the harp.

How would you as an Austin theatre artist want to be remembered decades from now? Steve Moore explains the rationale for his play Adam Sultan, scheduled to open at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre at the end of March and asks for your support.
Adam Sultan is a real person here in Austin - a composer, performer, teacher, friend. At the moment, he is still alive.
You can select your own memento and lend it to Steve and the Physical Plant Theatre Company, as many of us already have. You can also donate toward the $4900 the company needs to produce the show. Click HERE or on either Kickstarter logo for further information and to pledge.
Adam Sultan is a play slated to open in Austin on March 28th - just about two months from now.
The play centers around a real person in the world named Adam Sultan. Great guy. Lives here in Austin. He's a musician, composer, dancer, storyteller, actor, and teacher.
We imagine Adam's life about forty years in the future. It's the year 2052, and Adam is in his eighties. Many of his dearest friends have died, including his wife -- and much has changed. Including Adam. Over the years he's gone from happy and adventurous to cranky and withdrawn, in large part because the community he was once a part of has disintegrated around him. That's where we begin.
One day, seemingly at random, an exact puppet version of Adam arrives at his apartment. It can't see Adam and can't hear him, but it is definitely alive. It walks, eats, drinks, and sleeps. And it's living some version of Adam's own life....
Go to the Kickstarter page for more information. . . .

British Columbia wine is Canadian wine produced in the province of British Columbia. Wines made from 100 percent British Columbia grapes can qualify for classification under one of British Columbia's two classification systems, depending on the varietal, the wine-making techniques employed, and various other restrictions.
Originally, the British Columbia Wine Institute handled regulation and marketing of the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA), which is also an appellation system. More recently, the British Columbia Wine Authority was formed by the provincial government to regulate part of the industry. It created a second classification, "Wines of Distinction", to be also from 100 percent British Columbia grapes, but with less stringent quality control. In practice, it has strengthened the VQA classification.
British Columbia is gaining recognition for its world-class premium VQA wines. Wines which are neither labelled VQA or Wine of Distinction, and from certain producers (given special rights under the 1988 Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement), can use foreign bulk wine to produce a third category of wine which is labelled as Cellared in Canada. Significant parts of the wine industry, and respected wine writers in Canada and abroad, are quite concerned about this practice.
There are several classifications of winery, represented by numerous organizations. The smallest are known as "farmgate" wineries. "Land" wineries are mid-sized operations.
Although Canada has a reputation for having a cold climate, much of the British Columbia Interior has a mild or dry climate which is ideal for growing grapes. Within the Interior, the Okanagan Valley in particular is known for both the high quality of its wines, and for its increasing number of respected wineries, smaller pockets such as the Creston Valley have been emerging of late, with very high quality first epoch Vinifera varietals . On the Coast, the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley in the Lower Mainland are also wine-growing regions, though experimentation with vines has happened in various southerly areas of the province.
The most prominent varieties of grapes grown in British Columbia are:
For red wine and rose production:
For white wines:
Based on their unique terroir, there are five official viticultural areas in the province which are recognized by the VQA. Wines bearing the name of a viticultural area are produced from a minimum of 95 percent of the grapes grown in the designated area.[1]
The Association of British Columbia Winegrowers (ABCW) is an association of winemakers located in British Columbia. Most of the member wineries are small lot producers (less than 5,000 cases produced each year), family-owned and -operated. Their wines are all made from 100% BC-grown fruit. The ABCW's 57 members account for over 70% of the province's wineries.[2]
In 2007, the ABCW created BC WineCast, an audio podcast exploring hidden wineries of British Columbia.[3]

South West Trains' website was unavailable after "heavy site traffic" led to serious technical difficulties.
Other affected websites included C2C, which provides rail services for London, Tilbury and Southend; and London Midland, which serves central England.
The website of National Express East Anglia, one of Britain's worst hit areas, was also offline leaving bus customers unable to check running times.
At 10am on Monday, the South West Trains' website advised their customers "not to travel where possible."
A warning posted on the site read: "Website unavailable. Sorry, our website is temporarily unavailable due to heavy site traffic, leading to technical difficulties. We are endeavouring to resume normal service as soon as possible."
A second message read: "Severe Weather Disruption 2 February 2009.
"As a result of severe weather, many services are subject to severe delays, short notice alterations and cancellations. We are advising people to not travel where possible."
A spokesman for South West Trains said: "Our website is down because so many people are logging on and using it to check if there are delays caused by the snow.
"We have no idea when it will be back up because many of the people who run these websites have been affected by the weather themselves.
"I would like to apologise to our customers but please bear with us. We are doing the best we can with a foot of snow on the ground."

The deluge began sometime during the night, and hasn't let up. It's predicted to stay the same, with the occasional addition of "wintry mix", for the next 10 days, which is as far ahead as I can check the forecast online.
Jet doesn't mind. We've had multiple conversations just like this:
*cue thunder*
Jet (eyes wide, with sharp intake of breath): "Mommy! What is dat?"
Me: "I don't know, Jet. What is it?"
Jet: "Dat's TUN-DER!"
*cue more thunder*
Jet: "LOOK, Mommy, LOOK! MORE TUN-DER!"
Me: "Yes, Jet. More tunder."
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Where'd we put that ark?
The deluge began sometime during the night, and hasn't let up. It's predicted to stay the same, with the occasional addition of "wintry mix", for the next 10 days, which is as far ahead as I can check the forecast online.
The Day the World Tilted on its Axis
Today I think I'll write the story of Jet's birth. I've never written it all out before, and I really want to do it.
I had a wonderful pregnancy. Jet was conceived in September, and I taught the entire year. The only days I missed were because I had a head cold and couldn't take any DayQuil.
We knew that once we started a family, we would move closer to our families. So, two weeks before Jet's due date, we did. My wonderful sister (five years younger than I am, who I think is the Beezneez, and shall henceforth be known as such) cleaned my entire apartment for me. I still owe her for that.
Knight and my brother (eight years younger than I am, MusicMan) loaded the UHaul and drove the 3 1/2 hours to my parents' house where we would await Jet's arrival. We planned to find another place to live after that.
Side note: I have another wonderful sister who is the youngest of our family, 12 years younger than I am. She is tiny and completely adorable. She shall be called Shortie, as she has been for years, with much affection.
I gave my last final exam, graded it, and walked (er, waddled) out of the school. I picked up Beezneez at our apartment and we drove to my parents' house.
For the next two weeks, many people sat around and stared at me, waiting for me to pop and making stupid comments like, "Wow! Haven't you had that baby yet??" (To which I wanted to say, "Actually, yes, I have, but I love the swollen ankles and extra weight and back pain so much that I begged the doctor to put him back in for awhile so I could enjoy my whale-like state some more!")
I had a teaching interview on my due date. I received some funny looks when they asked about my due date and I said, "Today." I didn't take that job.
I also had a doctor appointment on my due date. He wanted to induce me the next day. I thought my labor would be easier if I waited for my my body to do what it was supposed to do, so I asked if we could wait a week.
I spent the next few days nesting like a madwoman in between walks with my mom. She and I were all over the city running (er, waddling) errands.
The last few days before I was to be induced were miserable. I went to the OB unit at the hospital twice and was sent home twice. I called my doctor twice, apologizing for not trusting him and begging to be induced. I remember being told something about a skeleton crew at the hospital on the weekend and not enough nurses... though why they would reference a "skeleton crew" at a hospital is beyond me. Can't they just say they're understaffed on the weekends?
The day before my scheduled induction, I was really uncomfortable. I was having contractions, but they were very irregular, so I didn't realize what they were at the time. I thought it was just... umm... intestinal discomfort.
Finally, at 12:45 the morning of the induction, after no sleep for about 24 hours, I woke up Knight and said it really was time. About an hour later, I was hooked up to the monitors and my contractions were three minutes apart. About an hour after that, I was given the epidural, and slept blissfully for about 7 hours. The nurses had to wake me to check me during that time. My mom still says she couldn't believe how quiet and peaceful it was in my room.
Knight folded out the recliner and napped, I think. My mom came at about 8:00 that morning. At about 11:30, I was fully dilated and they asked me to push once. Apparently I was pretty good at it, because then they said, "Wait! Wait for the doctor!"
He ran up four flights of stairs, only to sit in the Johnny Bench position and wait while I did all the work. My dad is an anesthesiologist at this hospital, and he arrived shortly after that.
Up to this point, I had not wanted anyone in the delivery room except for Knight. Later I found out that my mom had quietly asked Knight if she could stay. He, in turn, asked me. I realized that I really did want my mom and dad to experience this with us, so I said yes.
At some point during the pushing, Knight, my dad, and the doctor were all having a rather excited discussion about CARS. I finally shouted, "EXCUSE ME! I'M KIND OF BUSY HERE AND COULD USE SOME HELP!!" I think they were a little irritated with me, but, to be honest, I didn't care.
I only pushed for about 45 minutes, and Jet was born. I remember my mom saying that I just couldn't understand real love until he was born. She was right.
On that day, our world tilted gloriously. Two and a half years later, it's still tilted. In between mountains of laundry, hugs and kisses, piles of diapers, time outs, and millions of new experiences together, love is blooming every minute of every day.

In the beginning....
I wrote my first post.
I decided to blog because I wanted to educate the world on things most important -- happenings in my family's life.
Okay. Not really.
Maybe I wanted to document these things because I'm terrified I'll forget the most hilarious, touching, heart-wrenching moments.
Maybe it's a creative outlet.
Maybe I'm jealous of the women whose blogs I currently read -- of their ability to communicate so creatively and effectively. I'm a firm believer in the idea that practice makes perfect for these sorts of things, so...
Here we go!!!

Pakistan dances, just like music is very much a part of Pakistani lives. Dances are not only for entertainment purposes but they encompass the lives of people because dances in Pakistan are celebratory and ceremonial in nature.
Dances are traditionally part of the lives of people especially in Pakistan. Dance for Pakistanis is so important that people can communicate with each other and tell a story without uttering a word but rather dancing to send those messages.
There are different Pakistan dances and they are likewise fusion of many different influences. In this article, we will give you some of the important Pakistan dances and their importance in the lives of Pakistani people.
Classical dance in Pakistan is characterized in two different forms.
One is Bharatanatyam. Bharatanatyam is a structured dance with strong gestures and expressive hand movements. The influence came mainly in South Asia and used to be seen mostly in temples of India as a religious performance. The dancers during this time are called temple dancers.
The second classical dance in Pakistan is Kathak. Kathak came from the word katha which means story. Kathak is a dance where performers tell a story using their body movements, facial expressions and synchronizing their movements with the music.
Elements of kathak includes spinning, linear and circular body extensions and controlled hand and body movement with rhythmic foot works. They are commonly performed in theaters.
Folk dance on the other hand is often celebratory and seasonal in nature. Folk dances are used to celebrate child birth, wedding, spiritual or religious ritual and is likewise used for community knowledge.
The structure is often loose and steps are somewhat simple. There are different interpretations of Pakistan folk dance in every region but they are often in sync with folk music usually played with special instruments.
Religious dances are often used in religious ritual and this is popular among Sufis. Just like their Qawwali song, the dance is likewise important during some religious festivals. The dance is known as dhammaal. A devotional dance characterized by high stepping and hands raised over the head and with the index finger pointing at the sky. Men and women perform this dance.
Pakistan is a traditional country. The military rule used to ban dances performed in national media. There were times when classical dances are only seen in private home of upper class citizens. This is slowly changing with the time where younger middle class girls are training for classical dancing. Contemporary dance may be an important inclusion in popular theater but caution is always used in their performances.
Dance if very important for most people and Pakistan dances are common staples of festivals and celebrations. Knowing those steps and intricate movements are a dream to the younger generation.
If you want to learn Pakistan dances you have to train well for them. However, we will reiterate that you have to be cautious especially if you are around people you do not know well.

to sunset,
and all the
in between,
my heart
so misses
the ever-changing
of those
[From 1989 until 1999, I was surrounded by this ever-changing colorful panorama of sheer beauty. My soul feasted on this landscape like a hungry scavenger, who had long been denied a fulfilling meal. I experienced joy on a daily basis for ten glorious years, walking through some of the most spectacular landscape on the planet.
Leaving that place was like Jack Kornfield relinquishing his monk's robes. I have now lived longer in my make-do place than I lived there - inconceivable to me, as I always thought I would return. I still hope to. I have missed my life there every single day through all these years. It is the place where my spirit dwells, where it is at home.]

When it comes to cyber attacks, the odds are against us. The head cyber protection guy at the National Security Agency, Richard Schaeffer, told the Senate Judiciary subcommittee that about 80 percent of attacks on our networks can be prevented.
That is "unacceptable," Sen. Ben Cardin, subcommittee chairman, told Schaeffer and the other government officials testifying before him. "We would never ponder a defense budget that is dependent on an 80 percent success rate."
A top expert on cyber war and protection who advises Strategic Command on such issues, Kevin Coleman, said the NSA estimate is probably on target. "Bottom line here is I think the NSA is being very forthright in the numbers. They very seldom give those numbers out," he said, adding that a large percentage of the vulnerabilities probably reside on the commercial side of the network equation. His numbers were sobering.
To start with, recent estimates are that "60 to 70 percent of firewalls are misconfigured. If we would fix that that would be a huge benefit," Coleman said.
Then he discussed the more basic weaknesses in American networks -- code vulnerabilities. According to research he has done, there are roughly 102 million programmers worldwide. Using the average productivity per programmer, they can produce about 102 billion lines of code per year.
The error rate per thousand lines of code is a wide range of 15 to 50 errors per thousand lines. "The basic testing we do today eliminates up to about 1 per 10,000 lines of code," he said, meaning that "10,200 bugs remain in operational code, but we just don't know where they are. If only 1 percent of those are exploitable that means there are 102 thousand vulnerabilities introduced in the code used today."
Coleman unveiled more worrying statistics. "If you take a look at IBM's X-Force threat report in 2008 there were 7,406 vulnerabilities analyzed in commercial software. At the end of 2008, 53 percent of those vulnerabilities" had not been patched. "Only about 46 percent of the vulnerabilities identified in 2006 had patches by the end of 2008 and 44 percent of those in 2007 still did not have a patch by the end of 2008."
Coleman looked at one vulnerability at a Fortune 500 company to see how quickly and effectively they moved to patch it. "From the date the vulnerability was announced to the day the patch was released, and the company was able to test and deploy it was 54 days," he said. Long pause. "Would you leave your front door unlocked for 54 days?"
NSA is working with Microsoft, Apple, Sun and other companies to lessen the chances of cyber attacks, Schaeffer said in his prepared remarks for the committee. The latest example is assistance the super-secret agency gave to Windows as it prepared Windows 7, its latest operating systems, for release.
Of course, closing code holes does not begin to address the possible threat from computer chips, the vast majority of which are manufactured in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.
At least one foreign intelligence agency is known to have built "additional" code into a line of chips, Coleman said.
"When you look at whether they could compromise us, we've got a huge road ahead of us. Have we made progress? Yes. but we are at the first or second step when we have a 100 yard run in front of us," he said.
One of the enduring debates in the cyber bureaucratic wars has been who will lead US efforts to protect our networks. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security has the lead, a fact that worries Larry Wortzel, China expert and former signals intelligence officer. Wortzel told Cardin's subcommittee that "DHS should play a substantive role" in cyber. But, "that Department is new, has a broad range of responsibilities, is spread thin, and is still growing into its duties. My understanding is that DHS has run two national cyber exercises. But to my knowledge, there has not yet been a systematic examination of lessons learned from the exercises nor uniform application of standards for attempting to correct any problems revealed across government or in industry."
And this isn't the only US leadership role gone a missin'. The cyber czar position created by the Obama administration in May is still vacant.

All six motorcycles that form the Bajaj Pulsar line up have been updated to comply with BS IV norms along with specific updates to some bikes There's a Bajaj Pulsar lurking in every die-hard Indian biker's past is what my friend, a certified Pulsar fan if ever there was one, once said. Half a decade later, at the cusp of swinging a leg over the new range of BS IV compliant Pulsars all lined up neatly at the Bajaj test track in Chakan, I'd have to agree. Just look at that line up. If you've not owned any of these at some point in time or another, you'll certainly know someone who has because the Pulsar is what truly transformed the performance motorcycling scene in India. What's common to each of these six motorcycles is that they have all been made BS IV compliant, feature Auto Headlamp On (AHO) and have a new set of graphics. Beyond that however, some of these bikes feature a few more changes. So here goes:

Highlights from the 2010 Fancy Farm Picnic
The unofficial start to the fall campaign season in Kentucky – the Fancy Farm Picnic – drew one of its largest crowds in years, organizers said, and set the stage for candidates to gear up their push toward November.
The crowd certainly seemed larger to me, and not just from the addition of national media that have taken a keen interest in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race this year. I had hoped to be able to post updates during the speeches on Saturday, but my iPhone wasn't up to the task. Hopefully next year will go more smoothly (and be cooler).
I did shoot some video – a first for me – and put together this brief look at a few highlights from the day. Included in the video, along with Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Rand Paul, both candidates for U.S. Senate, are Mark Wilson, one of the picnic's organizers, Charlotte Whittaker of Hartford, who was joined by a group of seniors and AARP members from Ohio County, and Todd Inman of Owensboro, vice chairman of the Daviess County Republican Party.

en Alterations in the Corpuscles of Stannius of Euphorbia royleana Treated Catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis عمومى General پژوهشي Research
Background: We aimed to evaluate effect of Euphorbia royleana exposure on histocytology of corpuscles of Stannius in fish, Heteropneustes fossilis.

Methods: Fish were subjected to 2.47 mg/L and 0.618 mg/L of E. royleana for short-term and long-term exposure, respectively. Blood samples were collected on 24, 48, 72 and 96 h in short-term and after 7, 14, 21, and 28 d in long-term experiment and analyzed for serum calcium levels. Corpuscles of Stannius were fixed on these intervals.

Results: Serum calcium levels of H. fossilis decline progressively from 48 h until 96 h following the E. royleana exposures. Serum calcium levels decreased on 7 d. This decrease continued until close of the experiment. After 96 h treatment, AF–positive cells of CS exhibit increased granulation. Nuclear volume of these cells exhibited no change throughout short-term treatment. Increased nuclear volume of AF– negative cells of CS is noticed at 96 h. Nuclear volume of AF-positive cells decreases after 14 d and onwards. The AF–positive cells exhibit increased granulation following 21 d exposure. After 28 d these changes are intensified and few degenerating cells have been encountered. AF–negative cells of CS increase in their nuclear volume 21 d onwards.

Conclusion: The botanical pesticide induced severe changes in the corpuscles of Stannius of catfish. This gland controls the calcium level in fish and thus the use of E. royleana should not be done near water reservoirs.

At one time or another, nearly everyone is fascinated by mermaids. And when we were children we may have pondered if there was even a remote chance they could be real.
All of the Technique Junkie stamps used on this card are from the stamp set By the Sea SS060 - www.techniquejunkies.com/by-the-sea-set-of-6/ .
I die cut the mermaid tag from white card stock, and die cut two of the soft blue card stock so i could make a proper frame for the mermaid tag. I sponged a variety of colors to simulate colors in the water including the reflection of the sun. Then I used black Versafine ink to stamp the mermaid and the verse on vellum. I covered the mermaid with an iridescent clear embossing powder so she has a sparkle to her -- which unfortunately you cannot see in the scan. The verse was covered with clear embossing powder and both were heat set. I used clear instead of detail black powder because the script letters in the verse are on the smaller side and close together. If I used black embossing powder the letter would have a tendency to smoosh together and make ti difficult to read. Using clear embossing powder helps to prevent this from happening.
I used a piece of background paper from my stash that looks like waves on the sea. I used my Xyron machine to put adhesive on the back of the vellum to adhere the vellum to the card stock. Ribbon is tied on the tag as an embellishment and the whole tag is popped up with dimensionals to add visual interest.
Did you ever pretend to be a mermaid at the ocean or in a swimming pool?
Have a great day and get inky!

The University of Scranton women' lacrosse team, currently ranked 25th in the country, remained undefeated on the season with a thrilling, 13-12 victory over Haverford in non-conference action on Saturday at Weiss Field.
Senior Christine Olert (Katonah, N.Y./Somers) scored the game-winning goal with 6:23 remaining in regulation in the Royals' defense made it stand by preventing the Fords from attempting another shot the rest of the way.
Sophomore Jill Henson (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy) finished with a team-high four points on two goals and two assists for Scranton while Olert and junior Shannon Warburton (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh) scored three goals apiece.
Junior goalkeeper Erin Putnam (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks South) finished the day with seven key saves to earn the victory.
The Fords (2-1) scored the first goal of Saturday's contest, but the visitor's only lead of the game only lasted just over two minutes as Scranton countered with three straight goals and seven of the next nine markers in the contest to hold a 7-3 advantage with 7:55 remaining in the first half.
Haverford netted three of the last four goals of the opening period to cut the Royals' halftime lead to 8-6.
Olert scored her second goal of the afternoon three minutes into the second half to give Scranton a three-goal edge, but three-straight markers by the Fords leveled the contest at 9-9 with 19:39 remaining in regulation.
Junior Kate Calabro (Seaford, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) put Scranton back in front just over a minute later, but Haverford forged back into a tie at the 16:38 mark.
Back-to-back goals by sophomore Raegen Dunn (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Township) and senior Elena Gallo (East Meadow, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) gave the Royals a 12-10 edge with 10:40 left, but the Fords countered with two-straight goals of their own to knot the score at 12-apiece with nine minutes left on the clock.
Olert completed her hat trick with an unassisted mark at the 6:23 mark with a goal that would stand as the game-winner thanks to a staunch effort by the Royals' defense.
Dunn finished with two goals and one assist, Calabro had a goal and two assists, and sophomore Bridget Lalley (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) also scored for the Royals in the win.
Junior Becca Russo (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor) had an outstanding game, totaling a game-high seven draw controls, four caused turnovers, and four ground balls. Calabro, Henson, and freshman Halle Conklin (Point Lookout, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) all scooped up four groundballs in the contest with Conklin tying with Russo for a game-high with four caused turnovers for the Royals.
Scranton held a 34-24 advantage in shots for the game along with a 23-21 edge in groundballs. The Royals also forced Haverford into 25 turnovers while committing 18 turnovers of their own.
The hosts, who went 16-for-20 on clearing attempts, had a 15-11 edge in draw controls in the contest.
Scranton will return to action next Sunday, March 10, when 18th ranked Ithaca visits Weiss Field for a non-conference game starting at 1 p.m.

Note: Firm Phone Number Change
October 16, 2008
Release #09-015
Firm's Contact: (917) 254-1667
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Playkids U.S.A. of Brooklyn, N.Y. is announcing today a voluntary recall of about 2,000 convertible cribs. The sides of the convertible crib are made of a mesh that expands, creating a gap between the mattress and the side through which an infant can slip. This poses suffocation and entrapment hazards for young children.
CPSC is aware of the death of a 5-month-old child on August 31, 2008 in Brooklyn, N.Y. The child became entrapped between the mattress and the stationary side rail of the convertible crib and suffocated.
This recall involves the Playkids U.S.A. convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed with model number PLK-909. "Playkids U.S.A." can be found on the packaging and on a label sewn into the side of the crib. The model number can be found on the packaging. The convertible cribs have a drop side rail, a stationary side rail, a canopy assembly, and a bassinet. The sides of the convertible crib, the mattress support, the bassinet, the canopy and the bedskirt are covered in fabric and mesh. The fabric and the mesh come in a variety of colors and patterns.
The convertible cribs, which were made in China, were sold in juvenile product retailers in New York from March 2007 through September 2008 for about $100.
Consumers should stop using the recalled convertible cribs immediately and contact Playkids USA to receive a full refund.
For additional information, consumers should contact Playkids USA collect at (917) 254-1667 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.

A report submitted to the Delhi High Court on Wednesday, by the director of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), P K Sen, shows a large number of vacancies under the malaria control head.
The bench of acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar, however, noted that the "comprehensive report" had mentioned "huge vacancies" (see box).
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain told the court that according to the information given by the North Delhi municipal commissioner, the recruitment process was initiated but pending. Stating that the civic bodies were again "shifting the blame" (to recruiting agencies), the bench said MCD officials were "saving their skin" while asking the general public "to take a walk".
Earlier, the court had directed the NVBDCP to "make a comprehensive action plan from every angle, which the municipal and civic authorities must implement, so that the problem of vector-borne diseases is minimised and ultimately eliminated".
Underlining the spiralling number of dengue, chikungunya and malaria cases, the report said the probable reasons for the increase includes demographic and societal changes, improper solid waste management, shortage of water supply and storage/dumping of used tyres.
The report suggested taking steps such as making an annual action plan, hospital preparedness, expansion of diagnostic facilities, ensuring availability of blood components in blood banks and monitoring of insect vectors responsible for spreading the diseases.
While the report suggested mapping of high-risk areas, it said there was no single method to eliminate breeding of mosquitoes in residential areas.
For non-residential areas, the report said measures such as proper disposal of solid waste, visiting and taking action at important breeding sites, and regular checking should be undertaken. "The programme recommends fogging only when a large area is affected and transmission is at high pace," the report said.

As good as it is to fish new locations, it's hard to beat winter on the Coffs Coast.
A lot of people mourn the mackerel heading back north for another year, yet I look forward to all the fishing prospects available to those willing to get out in the cold!
Apart from having to wear 14 layers for an early morning burn up the river, winter is a great time for fishing the estuaries. They really do come alive with big bream on the walls, plenty of flathead on the flats, luderick hanging around weed beds and further up the bass visit the salt for a few months to stretch our bream gear out.
Some light spin tackle and a box of lures, plastics or some fresh bait like nippers is all you need to get a few of these fish interested.
Although a hot summer afternoon is what most people think of when talking about throwing poppers in the creeks, don't be afraid to bust out those surface lures in the middle of winter. The fish have been actively feeding on the surface and in recent weeks, while exploring to find a few bass, I've had plenty of bream fighting over surface lures all through the estuaries.
The bass are around but they have been a little bit harder to find in big numbers, like they were this time last year. However, persistence is the key – just remember to release any that you come across as it is a no-take fishery during June, July and August.
Winter is a great time to hit the beaches, river mouths and headlands in search of big jew. Worms, squid or fresh fillet baits are all worth a try along the beaches. Throwing a livie or lure is a great option in the river mouths or off the rocks.
A lightly weighted pillie, garfish or metal thrown from the stones should also find you some action with a tailor or hard fighting salmon, and we should see plenty harassing our jew baits as well.
If you're on the rocks, you should be able to find a few drummer in July. Fresh cunjevoi, prawns or a bit of bread are great baits for them and any of the ocean rocks will produce fish. Even heavily fished spots close to home like Muttonbird, South Headland or Boambee Headland can come up with memorable catches with fresh bait and a good berley trail.
Just remember if you head to the rocks, take all the necessary precautions to stay safe!
Apart from a few late season mackerel, there hasn't really been anything outstanding to speak of outside but now is the time to find good kings, sambo and snapper offshore.
I will be hitting the inshore reefs for snapper with plastics plenty this winter and as much as I love being offshore in the kayak, I think the cool weather will keep me rugged up in the boat where I can at least keep my bottom end dry! I will be able to fish a few more baits that way for snapper and get my jigging gear out to try and tempt a king or Samson.
I'm currently getting organised for a weekend up at Ballina to chase a few bream. I'll also be throwing some bigger jew lures in the Richmond after a productive trip not long ago, and I might even have a look at the beaches as well.
In Coffs, I'll be trying my luck at snapper, jew and tailor along the coast and bream and bass are on the cards in the estuaries.
So get some extra layers on and I hope to see you on the water!Reads: 1454

Silverstone, the company that really makes creating products an art, this is the TD02.
A CPU cooler featuring the NF-A9x14?!? Let's break it down and see what we get from this 37mm high cooler!
Low profile yet still capable of running with two fans at under 100mm! 93mm to be exact. Versatile isn't even the word!
After experience with both the NF-A14 FLX/ULN and the NF-A15 PWM, this is the one thing we wanted to see come together from both of them.
I always felt Noctua's S series of fans weren't as powerful looking and commanding as the rest. Well these knew ones have little daggers on them!
As soon as I saw the shade of blue on this fan, I knew it was meant to be.

Combining the Element of Indian Morals with Modern Education
There's a gentle wind blowing across the sky, the birds are chirping far above in the trees, and there are silent sounds in the background, of cows moving and dogs barking. The melody of the surroundings is abruptly broken by some nervous shuffling of feet, and the sound of laughter and chatter starts echoing in the area. As the feet come closer, a firm voice greets them with warmth. The chattering breaks and a unanimous voice erupts in the area- "Namaste Sir", it says. The feet now stop shuffling and begin to settle and a rough echo of the opening of bags, and taking out of books begins. The firm voice now takes control and starts to teach a lesson on Mughal Dynasty.
This is how a typical Gurukula Class looked like in the 18th Century.
Our lives today are so blended into a race for money, fame, and jobs that we forget to appreciate that which we were born into, and forget to let our morals bring us an inner peace that could act as an Engine for us to bear all external burdens.
The Morals that we've taken birth on, the morals that our parents have tried to inculcate in us since our childhood days, are the morals that if, made part of our daily lives, could bring us an inner contentment that we've been craving since forever.
There thus comes a need for us to ensure that the Students today have elements of these morals within their Every Day Education to ensure not just a system that connects their Education to their inner selves but to have a type of Education whose value stays with them throughout life- and adds up with time.
In this generation of Students, where a look of their Facebook News Feed is the most important life task they have for the day, and clicking a selfie in a new outfit they've worn has become the most precious thing for them to do, the idea of having an Education System based on Indian Morals seems like an impossible idea.
But having such a system is possible, and this Article focuses on how it can be done.
Developing Character and Personality
Isn't the idea of going to a big mall, buying the newest Gucci handbag and Prada Shoes attractive to the present generation?
The Vedic System in the ancient times has laid prime emphasis on the need of having the child's personality development. While the meaning of personality has today become wearing branded clothes and expensive shoes- our children need to understand that the true meaning of personality and character lies in the way they behave, the way they empathize, and the way they see things.
But how do we make them understand it?
The method remains the same, but the approach needs to be different.
During a Value Education class, Ask a student with small height and thick glasses how many times he's been bullied in the class. The number that he tells you will be a big one and would surprise you to an amazing extent.
Have the students in a Science Class raise up their hands if their answer to this question is yes: "Have you taken science on your own will, or the society and your family has forced you to take it?" The number of hands being raised up will surprise you.
Then ask them another question: "For the people who bullied them, forced them or made them do something they didn't want to do, what change would they want in that person?" The complaints that you'll hear will be many, and the opinions they give will be cruel.
After hearing these complaints, introduce them to the idea of Character and Personality development, and how essential it is for them to learn. Make them understand that things like bullying, betrayal, and prejudices will only come to an end if the people living in it have a developed character: and the youngest, newest, most important part of this "people" is they, themselves.
This way, you can have elements of Indian Morals blended in today's children, and improve their overall growth as human beings.
Improving Focus and Eliminating Distractions
Meditation, since long, has been a practice prejudiced to be done only by an old priest belonging to the 15th century, sitting in a Temple, alone.
In the mindset of our youngsters, it is only a practice undertaken by the uncool, old generation of their grandparents who are also the ones in scolding them when they eat too much fast food.
But what the young mind does not understand is how meditation can be their escape from all wrong emotions they want to get rid of, to all external pain and can become the key to attaining perfect concentration.
When a math class is about to begin, ask all the students to sit quietly, close their eyes, and count every breathe they take till they've completed 10 breathes.
Then, start the class and give them questions to solve. The number of students answering these questions will surprise both you and then- it'll be obvious how a small session of meditation has improved their concentration so enormously that they've easily solved a question they once considered to be the biggest nuisance in their life.
After the class, make the students understand that how meditation can not only help them focus on studies but also enlighten them to a deeper, emotional level. It can help them deal with their daily frustration and become their door to internal peace.
Being Practical and Working on Things
How many times have you seen a child's eyes light up at the idea of performing a scientific experiment in the school lab instead of having to read about it from a school textbook?
How many times have you heard an excited chatter filling your classroom when you announce an educational trip to a museum to learn about history?
The Vedic System's most important base was to focus on practical aspects of teaching more than the theoretical ones. The ancient teachers believed that by experiencing real-life elements and seeing things, the children could learn much more than they do by reading books.
If the Principals across the schools encourage a focus on a more practical based approach, where students have to perform experiments, visit museums, make projects and have discussions, it would not only increase the student participation but will also improve the children's learning.
This is how we can inculcate elements of the Indian Morals in our present day education: and make our students not a generation that lives their life on Facebook Posts, Snapchat Filters, and Instagram Stories, but one that likes to explore things that are real, and have a purpose in life to make a difference by their existence.

Former Panamanian President Martinelli continues to draw allegations of corruption and wrong doing in the ongoing trial. New testimonies allege that his crimes reach far beyond securities fraud.
Earlier this week, former Superintendent of Securities Ricardo Fabrega, plead guilty to giving confidential information to Pacific Financial during an investigation by his agency. Fabrega claimed he was acting under the orders of Martinelli and former Tourism Authority Administrator Salomón Shamah.
"I was accused of corruption for providing confidential information to Pacific Financial while I was investigating the brokerage house," he said. He testified that he did not think he was breaking any laws in providing the information, saying that he was following instructions from Martinelli.
Fabrega confirmed the information provided by former Pacific Financial official Mayté Pellegrini that indicated, Martinelli had a secret Pacific Financial account that was used to trade shares of the mining company Petaquilla.
Fabrega made his appearance after spending four and a half months as a fugitive.
Pellegrini identified a conspiracy in 2012, between then President Martinelli and the current president of the Supreme Court, Jose Ayu Prado.
Fabrega's subordinate, Vernon Ramos, was investigating the High Spirit allegations when he disappeared. Now imprisoned, former Supreme Court magistrate Alejandro Luna, quashed the High Spirit investigation by ruling that insider trading is not a crime if the shares are not traded on the Panamanian market. The scandals at Financial Pacific continued under the new management, to whom Fabrega continued to provide information about ongoing investigations.
The High Spirit scheme, according to Pellegrini, had shares in the Canadian company that were bought and sold on Canadian and European markets through an account in a Danish bank. The proceeds were then laundered through a South Korean company. Whether or not shares were traded in the US market is unclear. However, U.S. electronic facilities would have been used for at least some of the transactions and at least some of Martinelli's fortune ended up in the United States. Martinelli has long claimed that he had nothing to do with Financial Pacific, but at other times made contradictory claims that he had an account there before he was president.
Meanwhile, the Financial Pacific and High Spirit affair is probably a murder case, although no trace of Vernon Ramos has yet been found. Prior findings of Financial Pacific investigations have been forwarded by the attorney general to the Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over Martinelli. The file is about to get thicker, because this is just one of about a dozen Martinelli cases that the high court has yet to decide whether to accept.

HAIFA "B" 25 AU 25 ties 5 mil typographed to ppc (Nativity scene) addressed to Switzerland, taxed postage due on arrival
92nd Holyland Postal Bid Sale
By: Negev Holyland
Negev Holyland 92nd Holyland Postal Bid Sale
Welcome to the Ninety-second NEGEV HOLYLAND AUCTION.
This auction features a very nice selection of Israel sheets and booklets. There are also some nice art work and newspapers.
The costs for printing and mailing of catalogues are quite high. The recent rate increases from the US Postal Service only make matters worse. Many auction firms have stopped sending catalogues. They require all clients to use their web sites. I am very hesitant to do this. I have some clients who do not have web access and some who do not even have computers. To be honest, I personally like to get a hard copy. To me they are easier to use. Also web sites could be taken down. However, I must now further cut down on my mailings.
If you have an e-mail address, please include it on your bid sheet. I will then send you notices when the auction is on the web site. If you still desire to get a hard copy of the catalogue, please let me know and I will keep sending it to you. THANK YOU.
AGAIN: When sending your bids by e-mail or the web site please include your full name, address, and a phone-number. I have some clients with similar names. If you do not have a full name, address, and a phone-number on your e-mail bids, I will ask for them and not enter the bids until I get that information. Thanks.
AGAIN: I am keeping the LOW PRICED LOTS. The photos are on the web site. For my clients who do not use the web or computers, I will send a limited number of scans for free. These lots are offered AS IS – NO RETURNS. There is NO COMMISSION but the 4% surcharge and postage will be applied. The lot numbers start with 601.
As we all well know, there is much fraudulent and faked material in the INTERIM period. Certificates are generally not issued for this material. This is, more or less, a BUYER BEWARE area with the material being sold AS IS. Nevertheless, in accordance with the terms of sale #06, if, within 30 days - unless a extension is asked for in writing - a competent authority, whom I recognize, states in writing that the material is faked or fraudulent, a full refund will be given
This auction has many sheets of Israel stamps. Even though it may not be explicitly stated on a lot, there may be perforation separations and/or folds. These are NOT grounds for the return of a lot. If these are a concern for you, please ask me to double check the lot.

I hadn't been to Michael's in several years. Last weekend, I had a hankering for some fondue, so off we went. Michael's is best known for being a steak house, having long waits and being a little annoying about seating you sans reservation.
Last Sunday night I did not make a reservation – seriously, it was Sunday, early October, and the town is completely dead. No chance I was calling ahead anywhere. Sadly for me, but good for local restaurants, that will change in two weeks. Alas, the host was grudgingly going to seat us outside, but when I said the word "fondue" he instantly told me, in a reprimanding sort of way, that fondue was only served at the bar.
We did end up sitting at the bar, specifically so I could indulge my need for gooey, delicious, melted cheese with large hunks of bread and vegetables (hey, vegetables are healthy!) to dunk in it. The fondue menu offers a choice of six different varieties – from the classic Gruyere and Emmentaler to a beer-spiked cheddar, and several in between. I had the "Pesto Pot" which is described on the menu as "The Classic spiked with a hot pepper and basil pesto". I didn't really get any hot pepper here, but the pesto-y, cheesy concoction was delicious.
The fondues are served with a giant plate of vegetables – broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes and grapes (yes, I know grapes aren't a vegetable, thanks), as well as bread and some assorted meats, if you are into that sort of thing.
A woman sitting next to us at the bar was eating a huge, bone-in ribeye steak, covered with sauteed onions and mushrooms, that looked absolutely divine. She was nice enough to offer me a taste – which I declined, just so you know. But that is the way Key West is: perfect strangers just offer you a taste of their food.
Overall, Michael's has a beautiful outdoor seating area. The inside is a little overdone-Southern-hotel for my tastes, but in Key West who sits inside anyway? The fondue is to-die-for, and service at the bar is excellent. I'll most certainly be back.
Incidentally, later in the week, the perfect stranger became Florida Keys Guy's hairdresser. You just never know where you will meet good people.

"Absorbing...Winning...The many layers in
The Oregon Trail
are linked by Mr. Buck's voice, which is alert and unpretentious in a manner that put me in mind of Bill Bryson's comic tone in
A Walk in the Woods
." -Dwight Garner,
The New York Times
An epic account of traveling the length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way-in a covered wagon with a team of mules, an audacious journey that hasn't been attempted in a century-which also chronicles the rich history of the trail, the people who made the migration, and its significance to the country.
Spanning two thousand miles and traversing six states from Missouri to the Pacific coast, the Oregon Trail is the route that made America. In the fifteen years before the Civil War, when 400,000 pioneers used the trail to emigrate West-scholars still regard this as the largest land migration in history-it united the coasts, doubled the size of the country, and laid the groundwork for the railroads. Today, amazingly, the trail is all but forgotten.
Rinker Buck is no stranger to grand adventures. His first travel narrative,
Flight of Passage
, was hailed by
The New Yorker
as "a funny, cocky gem of a book," and with
The Oregon Trail
he brings the most important route in American history back to glorious and vibrant life.
Traveling from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Baker City, Oregon, over the course of four months, Buck is accompanied by three cantankerous mules, his boisterous brother, Nick, and an "incurably filthy" Jack Russell terrier named Olive Oyl. Along the way, they dodge thunderstorms in Nebraska, chase runaway mules across the Wyoming plains, scout more than five hundred miles of nearly vanished trail on foot, cross the Rockies, and make desperate fifty-mile forced marches for water. The Buck brothers repair so many broken wheels and axels that they nearly reinvent the art of wagon travel itself. They also must reckon with the ghost of their father, an eccentric yet loveable dreamer whose memory inspired their journey across the plains and whose premature death, many years earlier, has haunted them both ever since.
The Oregon Trail
is much more than an epic adventure. It is also a lively and essential work of history that shatters the comforting myths about the trail years passed down by generations of Americans. Buck introduces readers to the largely forgotten roles played by trailblazing evangelists, friendly Indian tribes, female pioneers, bumbling U.S. Army cavalrymen, and the scam artists who flocked to the frontier to fleece the overland emigrants. Generous portions of the book are devoted to the history of old and appealing things like the mule and the wagon. We also learn how the trail accelerated American economic development. Most arresting, perhaps, are the stories of the pioneers themselves-ordinary families whose extraordinary courage and sacrifice made this country what it became.
At once a majestic journey across the West, a significant work of history, and a moving personal saga,
The Oregon Trail
draws readers into the journey of a lifetime. It is a wildly ambitious work of nonfiction from a true American original. It is a book with a heart as big as the country it crosses.
