The 2018 Gatlinburg Christmas Parade in Gatlinburg, TN is known as the Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade and features over 100 parade entries of marching bands, floats, helium balloons, performers, and more! The parade is expected to draw more than 60,000 spectators viewing the parade throughout downtown Gatlinburg, TN. Below, you will find information about the Gatlinburg Christmas Parade route and the date & time that it is scheduled to take place.
The Gatlinburg Christmas Parade 2018 takes place on Friday, December 7 at approximately 7:30pm beginning at traffic light #1A on Highway 321 and ends at Traffic Light #10…if you're at traffic light 10, the parade will reach you around 8pm. The entire parade typically lasts around an hour. The majority of people tend to sit or stand along the parkway in downtown Gatlinburg for the best views closest to all the action. If you would like to view a map of Gatlinburg to see where the traffic lights are, you can view the city's map at: http://www.gatlinburg.com/ .
The Grand Marshal(s) for the 2018 Gatlinburg Christmas Parade will be announced closer to the event date.
Keep in mind that the Parkway through downtown Gatlinburg will be closed off during the Christmas parade as well as slightly before it begins and after it ends. With this in mind, if you plan to attend the Gatlinburg Christmas Parade then we highly suggest arriving in town earlier in the day, find a parking spot, and stroll through the downtown shops, grab a bite to eat, sip some hot chocolate and make an afternoon & evening out of it. Have fun and enjoy the entire experience!
If you're fortunate enough to find a parking spot along River Road (which parallels the Parkway), most of those spots are free. If there aren't any open spots, there are a handful of privately owned parking lots along River Road that typically charge a flat fee. There are also two city-operated parking garages, one at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and the other at Traffic Light #3, the McMahan Parking Garage. Both of these parking garages provide numerous parking spots that should be available.
Below is a video the city provided of a previous Gatlinburg Christmas Parade if you would like an idea of what to expect if you have never seen it before. Keep in mind that it is much better in person!

I'd like to customize my IFL environment on my bootable USB.
Specifically, I'd like to set some of the [BACKUP_DEFAULTS] values normally found in ifl.ini. They are not saved from the running IFL environment back to the USB stick (even if it is writable). In addition, I'd like to have my network shares connect automatically. I assume I need a script to do that.
In the IFL manual, there is a section titled "Creating Customized Image for Linux Boot Media".
It seems to assume the creation process is done on a Linux system, using the makeHDD script.
Is it possible to customize the IFL environment when the USB is created with Makedisk.exe on Windows?
Could the ifl-custom.ini and config.txt files inside the config.zip be edited with my custom settings?
Also, is it possible to edit makedisk.cfg so Makedisk will default to my normally chosen options? Is the format of makedisk.cfg documented?

The backdrop of my stand will be - appropriately - made of fabric. Woven Monkey printed my logo onto a roll of cotton drill - how awesome is that?! They were fab to deal with and I was so impressed by the quality of the finished product. I'll definitely be ordering some custom-printed fabric from them in future to make a dress or skirt - they have plain cotton, sateen or drill to choose from. Ooh and they're currently running a fabric design competition in which you can win a sewing machine.
There, that's better.
Makegood starts on Thursday with a press preview and VIP party, then on Friday it's an early kick off with a buyers' breakfast. The event then opens to the public from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening - you should totes come along! I'd love to meet you. I'll be in conversation with Cath Kidston at 4pm on Friday (I went to her office to meet her the other day - she's lovely). I'd love to include a crowdsourced question in the interview - what would you ask Cath about running a business?
Hope to see you there!

8:30 p.m. White Water Tavern. $7.
We've been digging on David Olney and Sergio Webb for a while now, and if your musical tastes run toward the dark end of the folk/country/blues genres and you haven't checked them out yet, what are you waiting for? The late, great Townes Van Zandt gets trotted out a lot when it comes to grizzled singer/songwriters, but Olney is one of the few who you could honestly say could be heir to the throne of good ol' TVZ. The latest Olney album, "Robbery & Murder," is the third in a trilogy, available individually or as a set called "Body of Evidence." The songs include new numbers and new versions of classic Olney cuts like "Jerusalem Tomorrow," which was on his 1989 album, "Deeper Well." That track was the standout on Emmylou Harris' 1993 record "Cowgirl's Prayer," which is really saying something considering the fact that the album also boasted compositions from such heavies as Leonard Cohen, Lucinda Williams and Tony Joe White. Olney and Webb have played Maxine's several times, but this will be their first visit to the White Water Tavern. Also on the bill is Mark Currey, of roots-rock faves Monkhouse. RB
7 p.m. Philander Smith College. Free.
After his truck rolled over a landmine in Iraq in 2003, J.R. Martinez suffered severe burns over more than 30 percent of his body and over the course of his recovery he's had 33 different surgeries. So yes, I understand that we all get bummed out about stuff, like how work sucks or nobody understands us or the Internet is being slow. But the vast majority of us will never experience anything as painful as what Martinez has gone through. If you could use a bit of hopefulness and a heartwarming story of overcoming adversity to start off 2013, here you go. Because Martinez didn't let his terrifying injuries stop him from getting out there and living. He became an activist for veterans, an author and motivational speaker and an actor as well. You might be familiar with Martinez from his role as veteran Brot Monroe on "All My Children" or his victory on Season 13 of "Dancing with the Stars." The key, as he told Ellen DeGeneres: "If I have a good attitude, if I stay positive, if I continue to smile every day, something good will happen to me and all of this will make sense." Arkansas connection: Martinez lived in Hope for a while as a youngster. RB
7 p.m. Verizon Arena. $52-$94.
One of my favorite tracks of 2010 was Justin Bieber's hit "Baby" slowed down 800 percent and stretched to nearly 15 minutes. I've never listened to the normal speed version, but the slow one is maybe the most gorgeous thing I've ever heard, like Brian Eno and Sigur Ros playing God's own personal synthesizers and blissing out in a floating castle made out of dreams. It was a hit as far as quasi-joke Internet thing-ies go, generating all sorts of parodies and copycats. One dude took a 10-minute Sigur Ros song and sped it up 800 percent to see if it sounded like Justin Bieber (it didn't). It's ancient history as far as memes go, but it was kind of a big thing at the time. The song still sounds great though. I guess Justin Bieber's done some other stuff since then. Put out another massive hit album; became a man; went through a voice change; went to a party where he maybe tried out one of those funny-smelling cigarettes, if photos published Monday on TMZ are to be believed. A paparazzo died last week while trying to get a picture of him. That was weird and sad. Some dudes got arrested last month in a bizarre scheme to kidnap the Biebs and harm him in a brutal fashion that I will not describe here. That was plain crazy. But, it's all just part of growing up, I suppose. He'll make it through these awkward years just fine, and I predict he will have a rewarding acting career later in life, starring in a buddy cop movie in 2022 with Marky Mark, Justin Timberlake and a 3D hologram Dennis Hopper.

See movie listings for show times. Market Street Cinema.
Good news for movie buffs who missed the gorgeous "Tchoupitoulas" at the Film Festival last summer: The film is playing at Market Street. Loosely speaking, it's a documentary that follows three young brothers on a dusk-till-dawn night out in New Orleans. Very loosely: Bill and Turner Ross, the filmmakers (and brothers themselves), are more invested in dreamy impressionism than either reportage or narrative. The camera follows the boys and their adventures but also veers away from the protagonists to dabble in slices of night life. Unhurried and lovingly observant, the Ross brothers capture shot after breathtaking shot of strippers, brass bands, drunks, buskers, drag queens at work and at play. All of it is grounded in the rhythms of the city, both the music — from bounce beats to crappy street bands to traditional jazz — and the voices of the folks that taunt, tease and philosophize in the wee hours. The best voice of all is William, the youngest of the three brothers, who peppers the movie with preteen chatter, both in scene and in voice-over. The languid shots and meandering voice-overs have a Terrence Malick vibe, but the Ross brothers are more funky and playful. The result is a small and quiet movie but its exuberance and lightness are unforgettable. "Tchoupitoulas" was the most fresh and vibrant film I saw last year. Don't miss it this week. DR
1 p.m. Oaklawn Park. $2.
With the new year upon us, it's time for my favorite Arkansas tradition, opening weekend at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, which has been one of the premier sites for live horse racing for more than a century. Fancy sun hats! Corned-beef sandwiches! Racing forms! Friday is opening day and Saturday features those famous sandwiches on sale for $0.50, which means they'll go through about four tons of corned beef (they're actually kind of forgettable, but a little ambience goes a long way — that pickled/salty pile of meat has the taste of history). The mix of debutantes and debauchery leads to the best people-watching of the year as drunken gamblers curse their luck and highfalutin families show up to their box seats dressed like it's Easter in paradise. Oh yeah, and the races — horse racing is one of those athletic spectacles that you just have to see in person. Part of it is the sensory overload as you get a chance to see up close just how big and fast the animals are, plus the rapid-fire live announcing over the speakers, dirt flying from hooves, the smell of cheap beer and manure. Most of all, it's the suspense of each race, as experts and amateurs alike track their favorites around the track and murmurs from the crowd grow to a roar when the horses come down the final stretch. Then the lucky few scream in triumph. The first race I ever saw at Oaklawn, I won $300 on a $2 bet. My advice is pick a funny name with medium odds. Note for the true racing aficionados: Legendary jockey and three-time Kentucky Derby winner Calvin Borel is likely to notch his 5,000th career victory this season, just the 26th jockey ever to reach that mark; Oaklawn will give out free commemorative trading cards when he does.

8 p.m. Revolution. Donations of $5 and up.
Last week, the Arkansas electronic dance music scene was dealt a sad and unexpected blow with the death of Jeffry Hudnall, or Bushy as he was known to his many friends. He was a pioneer of bringing EDM to the area, booking big-name artists and throwing some of the most massive Arkansas raves of last decade. I didn't really know Bushy, having met him only briefly once, but reading through the outpouring of emotions from friends and family on his Facebook page made me well up. So many people loved the guy, and it's obvious that he brought an enormous amount of joy to people. This night will be a chance to celebrate his life through the beauty of music. There'll be local and out-of-town DJs, a massive lighting system and they'll be screening photos of Bushy all night. It's 18-and-older, and if you can't make it but want to donate to help his family with their expenses, you can go to LRCrew.com. DJ Revolvr, who plays at Discovery later Saturday night, will close out the show, which will be good news for those ages 18-20, as Discovery is 21-and-older. RB
5 p.m. Dunbar Community Garden. Donations.
Travis McConnell, sous chef at the Capital Hotel Bar and Grill, plans to open Butcher and Public, his own brick and mortar space in Little Rock at some point down the road. To tide us over until then, he's hosting this event — a whole local roasted pig party — to show off his vision. McConnell plans to offer a full meal that's cooked over the fire. He'll roast a pig from Freckle Face Farms on a spit that he and his dad recently built; use produce from Little Rock Urban Farming, Armstead Farms and others, and serve beer from Diamond Bear and Vino's. He said the menu is a reflection of his cooking philosophy: whole butchered animals and fixin's, locally and regionally sourced. McConnell first worked as sous chef at the Capital Bar from 2007 until 2009, before departing for Revival Bar and Kitchen in Berkeley for three years. He returned to the Capital in September after a trip to Italy, where he got to spend a few days studying under Dario Cecchini, who Anthony Bourdain has called "the most famous and respected butcher in Italy and, maybe, the world." He's said Cecchini's butcher shop is a model he aspires to for Butcher and Public. LM

Unions say the Abbott government has run Holden's car making operations out of Australia and the outcome will affect tens of thousands of workers.
ACTU boss Dave Oliver lashed out at the federal government for failing to provide adequate support to the General Motors-owned car maker, which on Wednesday announced it would stop manufacturing in Australia in 2017.
Mr Oliver said it was a sad day for auto workers, for the industry and the country, and laid the blame at the feet of the new government.
"We have a government that has successfully run Holden out of town," Mr Oliver told reporters in Canberra.
"I guess we can say that the Treasurer today, who was on the front page of paper daring GM to leave, got his wish."
There would be a knock-on effect for tens of thousands of workers in the auto components industry, and Mr Oliver dismissed as a "furphy" government claims high labour costs had hurt the company.
"There would be plenty of those workers out there today that voted for (Prime Minister) Abbott asking themselves the question, `why didn't he do anything'," the ACTU secretary said.
The loss of Holden also put a "question mark" over the future of Toyota in Australia.
"I note that Toyota is seeking some engagement with the government," Mr Oliver said.
"One would imagine that if they're going to handle it the same way they're going to handle this, you would certainly say that Toyota will go."

As I wrote before, look at your local markets and thriftstores for nice and old lace.
And for the shirt, I do not know about you, but I did struggle to find the perfect basic before I looked into the man section. It has to be cropped but afterwards I have a perfect shirt for nearly nothing.
1. Decide on the length of your shirt and cut along after adding 2 cm for the seam.
2. Fold your edge twice
3. Choose the zig-zag stitch
4. And sew along!
5. Decide on the needed length for your lace trim.
6. By pinning along the edges you can mark where to cut. Cut along the middle, as if you are following your spine and along the end bit, so its a bit like a cupboard front.
7. Open your "cupboard" pin down your sides.
8. Lay the lace on top and sew along the edge.
Pretty easy, aye? I love how subtle the effect is and I am pretty sure I will wear this shirt pretty often. As long as the sun comes out at least.

4 Tips for expansion of the warehouse network
Are you seeking some means and ways to grow further in this year? If you wish to improve the agility of your shipping operation or want to include new products on board, it is time you consider the expansion of your warehouse network. Every small or a regional business, tends to keep the warehouse close to the location of the headquarter or in close proximity to the retail store. But for those seeking expansion, either nationally or globally, here we have compiled some tips that may seem helpful during the course of expansion of your warehouse network.
Know well about the import requirements of your business
Every time, you plan to make an investment in real estate, one important factor of consideration is the location of the building. This golden rule applies to the location of the warehouse as well. Of course, you might put in a lot of thought in picking the location of the warehouse however there are certain additional factors too that need to be considered so as to make the location of the warehouse more effective. So, based on the type of your business and what you intend to do with this new warehouse, the location should be considered in relation to several other important factors. One such factor is the location from where you are importing the goods?
Are the goods locally sourced? Do you import your goods from across the border? Are you located in close proximity to the major highway that accesses the airport, port, farm or factory from where the goods are imported? Answer these questions and you'll have an answer regarding the kind of business you operate and the most ideal location for your warehouse. So, research about the import requirements of the business and only then you can hunt for an ideal location of the warehouse network.
Match it with your retail requirements
The next point of consideration is how your warehouse expansion will augment the retail needs. However, it goes beyond the obvious selection of the warehouses that are well coordinated with the retail stores. Of course you need to take into consideration how the retail stores will benefit from the growing warehouse network but you also need to assess how accessible you would want your warehouse to be not just for your retail staff but also for your executive staff. This thought can be given a little concession if you have a definite presence online. In that case your warehouse network must be optimized in a manner that accentuates online shopping agility.
For instance, if you are located in the west coast and all your operations are carried on from there, is it reasonable to set up a warehouse in the east coast, just because it is cheaper? Not really! So, these are few important questions that you need to consider against other factors influencing the expansion of your warehouse network.
Consider ease of logistic management
For businesses that deal in product production, manufacturing or bundling in a warehouse, must consider how these steps affect the storage of the raw and the finished goods in the warehouse. Do you want to have a dedicated warehouse for moving the goods to different warehouses? Are you looking for specialized warehouses that holds specific product types? Do you want to have different warehouses offering similar goods in the different regions only with an object of fastening the delivery process? Will the expansion effect your existing logistics? Do you opt for a service like FedEx or UPS when hiring a logistics company for the shipment of the goods between warehouses would have been way cheaper? So, weigh the fact that if you have long been dependent on the local warehouse in the past how will a warehouse that is far off, impact your cost? Thus, you must consider every possible aspect of how the logistic will be effected post the launch of a new warehouse. Naturally, there will be pros and cons that you must consider.
Have the most ideal software
True, the above listed physical and logistical factors will determine your warehouse expansion but another factor that you need to consider is the impact software can have on your warehouse. Your warehouse network cannot be absolute without the proper inventory management software to deal with the goods at an internal level before facilitating their shipment to the customer. Moreover, if you are growing online, then adoption of the right inventory management software can definitely speed up the shipment process thereby making warehouses a lot more flexible without any shipping support from retail stores or other related venues.
Final Say
These are the four most important tips that you need to consider before you plan the expansion of your warehouse network. Do let us know, how well these tips worked for you during the expansion phase!

General Program Information: The Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training (260E) Program provides businesses, which are expanding their Iowa workforce, with funding for new employee training. Available through each of Iowa's 15 community colleges, the program is financed through bonds sold by the administering college. Depending on wages paid, the business then diverts 1.5% or 3 % of the Iowa state withholding taxes generated by the new positions to the community college to retire the bonds. Because of this structure, the training fund is made available to the company at what is essentially no cost, since the bonds are retired with dollars that otherwise would have been paid to the state as withholding taxes. In addition to increasing worker productivity and company profitability through structured training activities, businesses participating in the Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training Program may also be eligible for reimbursement of costs associated with on-the-job training, as well as, a corporate tax credit if Iowa employment is increased by at least 10 percent.
Program Purpose: The Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training Program (260E) is designed to lower the cost of expanding and training a workforce by providing funds for employee training for newly created positions.
Determining Program Award Amount – Project Funding Specifics:
- Number of positions created over three years
- Starting hourly wage rate of positions being created
- Average County/Regional wage where jobs will be created
- Equals Program Amount: $$$
Training Fund Uses: A certain percentage of the training fund may be used for on-the-job-training wage reimbursement. All or a remainder of the training fund will be used to cover structured training activities. The company in conjunction with North Iowa Area Community College will design a customized training plan to meet the needs of the company. The structured training activities coverable under the program are virtually endless. Under the program participating companies are able to train their new employees with their own trainers and on their own equipment and receive training funds to cover these costs.
Program Funding Source: The College sells training bonds to create the training fund. The bonds are repaid by diverting a portion of state tax withholdings from the new jobs to the college to retire the training bonds. This repayment mechanism allows the program to be offered to the company at no cost.
Iowa Industrial New Jobs Tax Credit: Businesses entering into an Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training Program (260E) agreement, and which increase their workforce by at least 10 percent, may qualify for this credit to its Iowa corporate income tax. This credit is equal to 6 percent of the state unemployment insurance taxable wage base. The credit for 2010 is $1,470 per new employee. The tax credit can be carried forward up to 10 years.
Limitations: Dollars available through the program are dependent upon the training and development needs and projected tax revenue available to repay the bonds.

The All Blacks are aiming to make the most of their week off as they seek to somehow improve on their record-breaking Bledisloe Cup performance against Australia before they take on Argentina in Napier.
They will be without the impressive Ryan Crotty at McLean Park in a fortnight, the midfielder out for four weeks after fracturing a jawbone in the 51-20 six-tries-to-two Eden Park romp which put the Wallabies firmly back in their place after the Sydney stalemate.
All Blacks v Wallabies - more coverage:
Pack 'went to a dark place'
Selectors spoiled for choice
ABs want to plateau at their peak
The likely return of Ma'a Nonu from a shoulder injury to partner Conrad Smith in the midfield will boost Steve Hansen's team, who, if the vibes from the coach yesterday are any indication, won't be getting carried away with the victory despite its dominant nature.
For them it appears to be business as usual. The Bledisloe Cup is wrapped up for another year, the desired response found after the disappointing draw at ANZ Stadium.
For Ewen McKenzie's team, who came to Auckland determined to overturn a hoodoo stretching back to 1986, they must now turn their sights on resurrecting their Rugby Championship after a beating which is likely to leave mental, as well as physical, scars. They will face the Springboks in Perth in a fortnight without hooker Nathan Charles, who has a chest problem, and wing Pat McCabe, who has another neck issue.
Crotty apart, the All Blacks' injury list is much less serious. Beauden Barrett rolled an ankle after replacing Cory Jane early in the second half but played on. Jane got a knock to a knee which also isn't serious. First-five Aaron Cruden hurt a chest muscle but will also be fine.
Hansen, proud of what he called a special performance from his team at Eden Park, was level-headed yesterday as he considered his next challenge.
Discipline apart - and two more needless yellow cards to Richie McCaw and Ben Franks are likely to be talked about over the next fortnight - there are few obvious areas where the All Blacks can improve, but improve they must, Hansen said.
Watch: Rugby Highlights: All Blacks 51 Wallabies 20
"The big thing we want to do is try to get better every time we play," he said. "We clearly don't do that every time but that's what we want to do and that's what's driving us every time, to be better, better, better, better. If we do that we know it's going to take a really good side to beat us.
"We've got a lot of motivated older athletes and a lot of motivated younger athletes and we're all working well together on that point. And when you have a group working together and they're cohesive and they're talented, then you've got the opportunity to achieve the vision that you have."
Australia felt they were on the verge of creating history at Eden Park. In order to change things up it is understood coach McKenzie issued a directive that they stay at a different hotel.
To dispel the "mystique" of the park, where the All Blacks haven't lost in 20 years, he made his team stay on the field at halftime. The staggered green and gold line facing up to the haka was apparently designed to make his players look bigger in the All Blacks' eyes.
You have to hand it to him for trying, but clearly none of the measures worked. After the pre-match fireworks drama the All Blacks turned on their own pyrotechnics and probably would have won by more had they not eased off around the hour mark.
"We had a passive start to the game," McKenzie said. "When you're chasing 20-odd points against a team like the All Blacks, it's a dangerous exercise."
Record breakers
51 highest score by All Blacks v Australia (beat previous of 50 set in 2003)
11 Richie McCaw's total try tally is the most against Australia by any player
5 Aaron Cruden's conversion tally is equal best with Bob Scott's against Australia in 1946
31 the points margin is the third highest for the All Blacks v Australia (highest is 37 set in 1996)

New Redmi Device With Helio X25 Spotted: To Take on Meizu Pro 6
by Jul 12, 2016 5:23 am6
A new device from Xiaomi has shown up on bench-marking site, GeekBench. The device which goes by the name Xiaomi Redmi Pro sports a MT6795T processor a.ka. Helio X25. This is the same processor found on the Meizu Pro 6.
The phone scores 1847 on the single-core test and 4761 on the multi-core test. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and is said to be equipped with 4GB of RAM and a Mali-T880 GPU.
The exciting part of the news is the price. Xiaomi is said to sell this new phone for just 1000 Yuan ($150)!!! Well, that's what the rumors are saying right now. If true, this is less than half of the price of the Meizu Pro 6 which sells for $350 (2339 Yuan). We don't know what game Xiaomi is playing but this will dent a blow on the sales of Meizu.
Meizu's Pro 6 still has some strong features of its own such as a Super AMOLED screen with 3D touch and a 21MP primary camera.
Xiaomi has not yet announced the camera specs of the screen, but we should expect either a 13MP or 16MP sensor and a regular FHD screen.
Hopefully, more details will emerge of this Helio X25 powered mid-ranger in the coming weeks.

So you are trying for a baby, and doing all the right things for you - cutting down on alcohol, eating a varied diet, taking folic acid - but is your partner doing all the right things to increase your chances of conception too?
Many men don't realise that there are a number of things they can and should be doing right from the start to improve the chances of their partner falling pregnant. Conception is harder if the man is producing few sperm, sperm with low motility (movement) or abnormally shaped sperm, and diet and exercise can contribute to the all round improvement of sperm quality.
Both parties should be enjoying a healthy and varied diet, which ideally began a few months before trying to conceive. Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake is a good start; he should try to limit his intake to two caffeine-containing drinks and two alcohol units per day. Why? Because both caffeine and alcohol can have an adverse affect on the quality and motility of his sperm. It takes three months for sperm to grow, so anything he does in the three months before you start trying is important too!
Nutritional deficiencies can abnormally affect sperm, so he should make sure h is eating a good, varied diet with plenty fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, starches, fish, pulses, nuts and seeds. Make sure everyone's diet is high in vitamin C and zinc; for example, coloured berries are high in vitamin C, whilst nuts and seeds are high in zinc. Why not try berries with granola and yoghurt for breakfast with pumpkin seeds on top, or make a fruit crumble and add mixed nuts to the topping?
Of course, meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products are also high in zinc, so the diet shouldn't feel too onerous!
Other elements that are important are vitamin E and selenium, which help protect sperm. Vitamin E can be found in nuts and green leafy vegetables, whereas selenium is found in meat, seafood, garlic, onions and brazil nuts. A tasty beef and onion casserole with spinach would provide loads of great sperm-enhancing nutrients.
There should be no real need for supplements given a healthy diet, and indeed too much iron can be detrimental to sperm so if he does take supplements, make sure they don't have added iron.
He should slake his thirst ideally with water or fruit juices, and avoid too much processed and refined foods. Being overweight can impair his fertility too, so try to maintain a healthy weight.
As far as exercise goes, he should make sure he is fit and healthy, but don't take up any new strenuous sports - this is not the time to start training for a marathon! He should limit the amount of time he wears constricting clothing - for example, tight fitting cycle shorts - as these can overheat the testicles and damage sperm counts. For this reason, he should limit time spent in a spa or steam room to around 15 minutes a couple of times a week, and opt for boxer shorts not thongs!

We have an addiction to fossil fuels, and it's not sustainable. How can we replace fossil fuels? How can we ensure security of energy supply? How can we solve climate change?
We're often told that "huge" amounts of renewable power are available - wind, wave, tide, and so forth. But our current power consumption is also huge! To understand our sustainable energy crisis, we need to know how the one "huge" compares with the other. We need numbers, not adjectives.
This book shows how to estimate the numbers, and what those numbers depend on. Taking the United Kingdom as an example, it asks first "could Britain live on renewable energy resources along?" and second "how can a country like Britain make a realistic post-fossil-fuel energy plan that adds up?" It answers these questions in detail, bringing home the size of the changes that society must undergo if sustainable living is to be achieved. It is not going to be easy to make an energy plan that adds up - but it is possible.
This remarkable book sets out, with enormous clarity and objectivity, the various alternative low-carbon pathways that are open to us. --Sir David King FRS, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government, 2000-08
For anyone with influence on energy policy, whether in government, business or a campaign group, this book should be compulsory reading. --Tony Juniper, Former Executive Director, Friends of the Earth
At last a book that comprehensively reveals the true facts about sustainable energy in a form that is both highly readable and entertaining. --Robert Sansom, Director of Strategy and Sustainable Development, EDF Energy

Rose spp.
Family: Rosaceae (Rose family)
Deities: Mary Magdalene, Oshun, Yemaya, Oya, Pomba Gira, etc.
Element: Water
Rose will help soothe the pain, allowing you to access your own divine, feminine strength.
There are over a hundred species of roses and thousands more cultivated varieties. Usually armed with sharp prickles or thorns, rose plants are woody perennials that can be bushes or vines. Plant sizes range from the small miniature species to climbers that can reach over 20 feet tall. Flowers of different species can vary in size, shape and color (white, yellow and red are common) however they are usually large and showy. Native species are found in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. These much beloved plants tend to hybridize easily which is why there are thousands of garden varieties.
Besides being queen of the garden, roses are one of our favorite cut flowers. Rose oil, called attar of rose, is highly prized. Rose water, which is a byproduct of the oil distillation process, is used cooking, medicine, cosmetics and spiritual practices.
Medicinal Uses
Rose is a popular herbal remedy which was used extensively in Greek, Roman, and Arabic medicine. As an astringent, rose is cooling and drying and is helpful for diarrhea and dysentery. Rose has an affinity for the respiratory tract, so it is used for sore throat, and drying up nasal and bronchial secretions. Rose's ability to dry up inflamed mucus membrane makes it also helpful for helping with vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularity and yeast infections. Easing auto-immune heat and irritation, like the chronic inflammation of arthritis, is another benefit of rose.
Energetic Healing
Roses are strongly connected to the Divine Feminine (in her many forms) and the heart chakra. Rose medicine can be used to heal a damaged heart chakra (caused by emotional trauma, neglect and abuse) or maternal issues. Rose energy may also strengthen self esteem and promote feelings of self-love.
Rose Symbol
Because roses are so beloved all over the world, they can be found in many works of art. As a symbol of the divine feminine, roses are common in paintings and sculptures of goddess figures including Venus, Aphrodite, and Mother Mary.
This symbol is more child-like than some of the other symbols we have received (see below). How many children have drawn this symbol in their early art work? But, maybe that's the beauty of rose. So lovely, so expressive…rose has an energy that is innocent yet deeply complex. This symbol spirals for some people while other people see it opening from the center. This symbol has been used to connect to the heart chakra and to clear emotional pain.

5.4 average deaths in mass shootings compared to 8.3 when an assault weapon was used. Statistics don't lie, in practice and crime assault weapons are more lethal. Besides your cosmetic arguments about how specific pieces of the gun were banned, though true, is relevant to gun control. These parts (take for instance the pistol grip), are made for shoot from the hip type firing, not scope or from the shoulder. The intent for this type of grip is to allow quick shots of mass ammunition into a target. As is the case, I cannot think of a single case of self defense where such an action would be necessary. -Citation: Washington Post, and Police Chief Joseph Polisar.
Assault weapons are use by the military. Should only be used by the military. Why on earth does the general public need to access to these weapons? How is justifiable that people can own commercial businesses that provide access to combat weapons to the general public for commercial gain? How is this even seen as a democratic right? Just plain crazy talk. All guns are potentially lethal. The argument that it is people that kill not guns does not make sense. If you do not put in place litigation that prevents likely nutters to have access to these weapons you justify the right of gun nutters to commit massacres pure and simple. You want to put an end to this trend put an end to universal gun access.
I say that not because other weapons are not dangerous, but assault weapons were designed for war. They were improved upon for maximum casualties. Hunting weapons were designed to give sport to food and hide gathering, but assault weapons would leave nothing of the animal for food or sport. Long gone, are the day of the crazy man running around with an axe or 6 shooter. Now they have the might of an army soldier to unleash on the unfortunate people in their path.
Assault rifles are not dangerous. The people using guns are dangerous. An assault rifle by itself, without anyone using it or holding it, is not dangerous. It would only become dangerous if some one was using it or holding it. Without a round in the chamber or ammo in the magazine, it is not loaded, and it's not dangerous. It's just a piece of metal.
First of all assault rifle are banned in the United states because according to the governemnt an assault rifle is a selective fire (semi AND automatic fire) detachable box magazine fed rifle shooting bullets between rifle and pistol ammunition. And to answer the question yes semi and automatic weapons are dangerous however when it comes to attacks it truly depends on the situation. Certain areas and plans require different weapons systems. At the end of the day all fire arms are dangerous and no weapon is truly more dangerous than another. There ar emote effective weapons than others and that again depends on the situation it is placed in. Pistols are more effective in buildings and tight spaces, rifles are good for long range and assault rifles are best for situations where there are more than one target.
People are dangerous, not inanimate objects. The people who blame guns are afraid of admitting that they share the same human nature as those who kill. And if humans actually believed inanimate objects can be dangerous, then where are all the people screaming for the banning of cars? BTW, cars kill at least 200 times as many people as "assault rifles".
A bullet is a bullet, a powder is a powder. Every NATO cartridge has a civilian variant, for example 5,56 NATO has .223 remington. Those cartridges are the ones fired from semiautomatic rifles originally developed by the military, which is the majority of hunting self loading rifles. But how does that make them more dangerous? Fully automatic capability is the only thing, and that is disabled for all civilian weapons since the mid eighties and the type of ammunition used- rather than using, say, NATO standard 5,56x45, civilian accessible ammunition is .223, a round designed for hunting with similiar dimensions. So what else is left? All guns work the same. A primer is hit, ignites the powder and propels a bullet. There is not really quite a way to make the process anymore harmful by the origin of the firearm's design- to make myself clear, it's the same as insinuating that a car engine will be more powerful if you make the engine block out of steel instead of aluminium.
Are self loading (a.K.A. Semiautomatic) weapons potentially lethal? Yes, they are to be usable for hutning. But that doesn't make them anymore dangerous than self loading firearms that were designed for hunting from the start.
A pistol grip, a forward vertical grip, a bayonet mounting lug, a flash hider, a detachable box magazine. None of these make these anymore dangerous or lethal and if I need to explain that then you don't belong in this discussion. Go answer a question you may know something about.
I am an avid gun enthusiast and hunter. I own several firearms of various types makes and models. I can tell you from personal and military experience that my hunting rifle is far more deadly than my AR-15 with 1 exception. The 30 round magazine in my AR-15. Although I love going out and shooting and the high capacity magazine makes this more fun, it is also what makes my "assault rife" more dangerous. As a staunch 2nd amendment supporter I would actually support laws against high capacity magazines. Just don't judge my rifle by the way it looks.
For the people citing statistics, please cite your sources, otherwise you do not sound credible...
For the people who say a pistol grip is to fire from the waist have obviously never fired a gun before, you can hip fire regular guns too but that's ok since they are not scary black murder weapons of mass destruction. And the person who said that assault rifles leave nothing of the animal left, then tell me why it fires the same ammunition as regular rifles? A semi automatic rifle is a semi automatic rifle no matter how it looks. And if you know in the slightest anything about firearms, then tell me how a .22lr caliber AR15 is any more dangerous than a Marlin .22? Because one looks modern and one is made of wood but they fire exactly the same! I'm a liberal democrat who makes a 4.0 in school majoring in physics, and I believe assault rifles are no more dangerous than a "regular" rifle. I plan on buying a Beretta ARX before some jerk tells me I'm not responsible enough to own a scary rifle... And no, I don't plan on using it for violence because somehow according to my fellow democrats, mere possession turns you into a monster gun nut -_-
To begin the discussion we must first define what is an assault weapon. Assault weapon is a nebulous term, the law covering assault weapons typically bases the definition off of cosmetic features, however the legal definition is both over broad and over narrow. To cut a long debate over what is an assault weapon short an assault weapon is a semiautomatic rifle that fires smaller rounds than a traditional rifle. Now it is also important to point out the difference between an assault weapon and an assault rifle (used by the military). An assault rifle has a select fire option allowing it to be fired in semiautomatic or full(or burst mode). An assault weapon can only be fired in semiautomatic ( one trigger pull per round fired).
The assault weapon packs less power than a hunting rifle and has less cncealability than a handgun. Making the assault weapon less dangerous than either a handgun or a rifle.
Hunting rifles are designed to make accurate clean and quick kills, Assault weapons are for efficiently taking out larger groups of people. So that is why I believe that assault style weapons are less dangerous rather than a hunting rifle designed to kill with high power and accuracy. Case closed.
Most people that I see talking about "Assault Weapons" think that they are talking about "Assault Rifles," the AK 47s and M16s that are familiar as military weapons. These fully automatic weapons are already banned, and current ban proposals are for arbitrary features like a bayonet mount or folding stock that will make no difference in the lethality of a weapon. Sure, the guns will look less dangerous, but they are not going to actually be less dangerous. An "assault weapon" that looks like an M16 (aka a bushmaster) is not more deadly or accurate than your standard hunting rifle, so why should it be banned while the hunting rifle is still legal? Banning features deemed to make something an "assault weapon" will have no impact on the actual crime rate, as statistics from the 1994 assault weapons ban show. Yes, the number of "assault weapons" used in crimes will decrease, but the number of successful crimes will stay the same, which proves the point of people that are against arbitrary laws that make no functional difference.
The term assault weapon is a made up term. It has no real definition, and that's why the gun control advocates have such a hard time. You're trying to ban something that isn't real, so there will always be loopholes. What you deem as an assault weapon is no more than a hunting rifle that has been ergonomically improved. A pistol grip? Easier on your wrist for aimed fire, but worse for hipfire. A bayonet lug? Can't even remember a time when a mass shooter used a bayonet. Barrel shroud? Basically a heat shield so I don't burn myself on a hot barrel. A telescoping or folding stock? Allows for easy transport, and adjustability while using. Doesn't make it more concealable. A flash suppressor? Just stops the rifle from damaging your night vision. Nowhere did anything I say make it a more powerful firearm. So, you gun control advocates are against me transporting my weapon more easily, against my night vision, against me protecting myself from burns, against me from using it without damaging my wrist over time. You need to urge your leaders to figure out how to stop the want to commit violence. All the energy they are putting into this could do so much properly channeled.

49ers' Quinton Patton has broken foot
Who will emerge as the 49ers' No. 2 wide receiver?
Well, it won't be rookie Quinton Patton. At least, not anytime soon.
Patton sustained a broken foot in a 35-11 win over the Rams on Thursday night and is "going to miss some time," head coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday. Patton will not be placed on injured reserve, meaning he is expected to return this season.
Patton, who sustained a broken finger during training camp, limped off the field on the final play of the first quarter Thursday and did not return. Based on his first-quarter playing time, the fourth-round pick was poised to assume a more prominent role in the offense. Patton played seven of 12 first-quarter snaps Thursday after averaging 7.7 snaps in the first three games.
Patton had his first NFL catch against St. Louis (it went for no gain). He and other wideouts have numbers that have paled in comparison with those of Anquan Boldin (24 catches, 372 yards, two TDs). The rest of San Francisco's wideouts have combined for 13 receptions, 112 yards and no touchdowns, with Kyle Williams accounting for nine catches and 87 yards. Williams played 22 snaps and did not have a catch against the Rams.
On Thursday, Jon Baldwin, the No. 26 overall pick in 2011, made his debut with the 49ers after he was acquired in trade from the Chiefs last month. Baldwin had two catches for 19 yards and earned postgame praise from Harbaugh. Baldwin was a disappointment in Kansas City, where he had 41 catches for 579 yards in two seasons.
On Friday, Harbaugh hailed Baldwin's competitiveness.
"Feel like sometimes I've got an eye for a competitive heart. I see it with Jon," said Harbaugh, who added, "He made a couple tough catches. Handled it. There'll be more action for him."
With Patton sidelined, Marlon Moore presumably will assume his spot on game days. Moore was inactive Thursday after he had one catch for 6 yards in the first three games.

December 6, 2012
The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
200 Independence Ave, SW
Washington, D.C. 20201
Dear Secretary Sebelius,
The National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services is pleased to provide you with four short policy briefs which are the results of our meeting in Kansas City, MO in June and our meeting in Austin, TX in September. The briefs discuss the following:
In Kansas City the Committee received presentations by researchers from the North Carolina Rural Health Research and Policy Analysis Center which enabled the Committee to use current national data on the distribution, services, and financial viability of rural hospitals in its evaluation of proposed re-designation measures. While the Committee considered proposed changes to special Medicare payment designations for rural hospitals as part of broader discussions about the future of the rural health care infrastructure, we elected to use this paper to address more immediate concerns prompted by these proposals. The Committee hopes that its informed analysis will be helpful in future conversations between the Administration and the Congress about Federal spending on rural health care, especially with the expiration of both the Medicare-dependent hospital designation and the current configuration of the low-volume hospital payment adjustment.
In its companion paper, based on the presentations from the September meeting in Austin, the Committee examined options for reform of the rural health care system with particular emphasis on two demonstration programs in sparsely populated frontier areas. We believe that the outcomes of these demonstrations can provide valuable guidelines for future rural health care delivery and payment systems as the basis of the U.S. health care system continues to shift from volume to value.
The Committee's work on rural child care was informed by a visit to a Head Start facility in Ottawa, Kansas. We met with key stakeholders, policy experts and State leaders to get their perspective on both the Head Start program and the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF). The Committee found that the difficulties of providing child care services in rural communities also present unique opportunities and benefits for program collaboration. However, early child care programs face significant infrastructural and regulatory barriers in rural areas. Making the Head Start Program Performance Standards more supportive and aware of the workforce, transportation, and health-shortage challenges in rural areas will stabilize rural Head Start programs and enhance their partnerships with other child care, health care, and community organizations. The Committee believes that an appropriately focused rural demonstration program could allow the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to assess more fully the obstacles and advantages to collaboration between Head Start and CCDF programs.
The Committee used its September meeting to examine an integrated workforce program in Bastrop, TX that could serve as a model for other rural areas. The capability to combine resources from different programs such as CCDF, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Department of Labor's Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs could greatly enhance the prospects of rural workers being able to find employment.
The Committee will continue to monitor the state of rural health care infrastructure and possible reforms to rural payment systems. We remain concerned but optimistic on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in rural America and thank you for your leadership and attention to these issues.
Our next meeting, in Grand Junction, Colorado, will be held from April 3-5, 2013. We would welcome having you or your designee join us there.
As always, please let us know if we can assist you in any way.
The Honorable Ronnie Musgrove

ISATs screw everything up. I see 2 classes 3 times and 3 classes 2 times. So, 2 classes, yesterday, ended up having a lively discussion on current events, largely evaluating the effectiveness of the President. It was a fun day of just "talking," but highly relevant to the powers of Congress and the Executive branch. We event did a little economics, which is tough for some junior high kids to wrap their minds around. Cognitively, the complexity of how our economy works is very difficult to comprehend. An organic and engaging conversation on it was fun!
The first day is using pages 252-57 and Q 1-6 to build background on what the three branches do. Some is review, some is new, but it's largely concrete info we need going forward.
The second day of ISATs (tomorrow/Thursday) will consist of these notes on Article 3:

The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they." (Numbers 14:10b-12)The people had not been asked to take a blind leap of faith at Kadesh Barnea. God wasn't new to them. They hadn't just met him. The people should have known that God was trustworthy. They had seen his power and goodness over and over again. He had always been faithful to take care of them in any and every situation. That is why God is angry. In spite of all the miraculous signs, in spite of all the evidence of his power and goodness, the Israelites refused to trust. This is the same principle Jesus used with the disciples. He was angry because they had been given plenty of evidence of his power yet they still didn't trust:
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" (Mark 4:35-40)The important word in that last sentence is "still." The key to understanding Jesus' rebuke is to realize that the disciples had already seen Jesus do many miraculous signs and wonders. He had shown his power and goodness in casting out demons and healing many sick and lame (Mark 1:21-3:12). The proper response to the storm would have been to remember that Jesus had been willing and able to exert authority over every other realm of existence, and surmise that he could handle this, too. The disciples obviously did not do this, as they were convinced that death was immanent. There is a simple antidote to fear and despair: praising God for what he has done in the past. Instead of grumbling and cowering at the report of giant armies and powerful men, the Israelites should have had a time of prayer and praise, thanking God for his wonderful work in getting them to this point. After spending some time remembering the plagues and the Red Sea and the provision of manna from Heaven and water from the rock and the victory over the Amalekites, etc., they almost certainly would have been willing to enter the land e or fight Goliath expecting to see God perform more miracles. The act of recounting the stories and thanking God for what he has done puts a person in the frame of mind necessary to obediently step out in faith. It shines the light of truth on the present situation and destroys the lie that God is not trustworthy. This is exactly what King Jehoshaphat did. He stood up in the courtyard and said:
O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. O our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, 'If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.' But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." (2 Chronicles 20:5-12)Notice the confidence inspiring content of the prayer. Jehoshaphat started by ascribing to God all power and then backed up this claim by recounting what God had done in the past in giving Israel the land. With his mind focused on God's faithfulness in the past, Jehoshaphat could look confidently towards the future, knowing that God is trustworthy and will keep his promises. When asked to step out in faith and face the army, Jehoshaphat obeyed, even though it looked like a fool's errand, and God provided a great victory (2 Chronicles 20:14-29). God did the same for David, and for the same reasons.
David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him." Saul replied, "You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been a fighting man from his youth." But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you." (1 Samuel 17:32-37)David knew that God was able to help him defeat Goliath because God had helped him defeat strong enemies before. By keeping his mind on God's past mighty works, David was able to affirm God's trustworthiness and take a huge step of faith with confidence. David was in the very same position as the Israelites at Kadesh Barnea. Both were faced with the option of either following God and stepping into battle with a very strong foe or turning around and running in fear. David looked back, realized God was trustworthy, and took a step of faith. The Israelites didn't. They looked only at the obstacle in front of them, never looking back at what God had done, and ended up dying in the desert for lack of Remembering God's faithfulness is a very difficult thing to do, especially when the wind is blowing hard and it seems like the waves will swamp us, but we must do it if we are ever going to survive the journey of life into the Promised Land. Let's take this Thanksgiving season to follow the example of David and Jehoshaphat rather than the Israelites or the disciples in the boat. When faced with situations that fell catastrophic, we can give thanks for all that God has done and face the future with confidence, knowing he can handle it and the he will get us safely home.

Directions for Legal Education?
In his wonderful book Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry, Alasdair MacIntyre claimed there were three main "rival" worldviews that can guide our conduct: Enlightenment rationality, Nietzschean genealogy, and the "Thomistic-Aristotelian" synthesis. As anyone familiar with After Virtue can guess, MacIntyre was pretty skeptical of the university system, and suggested that "fundamental debate on . . . moral questions" may not be possible in "the conventional academic system."
I was reminded of MacIntyre today by three articles I've come across on education recently. MacIntyre himself is still critiquing the fragmentation of the American university. Meanwhile, NIH bioethics czar Ezekiel Emmanuel seems to speak up for the enlightenment when he argues that medical education must incorporate far more social scientific training. He also foresees a great deal more collaboration among professional schools:
Collaboration among medical, business, and law schools would be a win-win situation. Medical students would be better prepared to deliver effective care, run research groups, and administer practices and hospitals. And universities would have a model for effective multidisciplinary, multischool education.
And finally, we come to the Nietzschean alternative: a postmodern appropriation of pop culture that turns an entire class into a video game. The professor claims that it may be "the first [class] to fully emerge students in a narrative story and treat the whole course as a game." Part of me worries about a "gamist perspective" that requires participants not merely to learn about a subject, but to enact it. But I imagine this might be very effective pedagogically. I just hope that the types of humanistic values that Emmanuel and MacIntyre worry about can be programmed into these types of experiences.

Federal workers begin going home as funding bill stalls
With a giant funding bill still unpassed, the Reagan administration began ordering federal workers to go home Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Senate continued work on the year-end catchall bill, which funds about 80 percent of the government.
As of Thursday afternoon the Senate appeared to have resolved its problems with the bill. A joint House-Senate conference committee will have to iron out differences on the funding measure. But even if the spending bill is completed, the Senate must still pass a mandatory debt limit increase so the federal government may continue to borrow money. Senators have reportedly prepared 40 unrelated amendments to that bill.
A shutdown of the government would be the second in the Reagan administration and would almost certainly become a campaign issue. Closing down the government for a day costs about $80 million for work left undone, according to a report by the Democratic-controlled House.

After much hype was spread around during the IM softball pre-season, it was finally time for the Batten Ballers to show the league what they were made of. On Opening Day 2013, the Ballers matched up against one of their division rivals, Naanstop. While the Baller's hearts were in the game, they ended up losing the season opener 9-5.
The Ballers started out the game strong, answering Naanstop's two runs in the bottom of the first. Although Naanstop had some formidable gloves, they won the game with smart base running and some help from a few errors on the Ballers' part.
The winning pitcher had some nasty movement on some of his pitches, but that didn't stop the Ballers from racking up the hits. Matt, Elena, Nalin, Robert, Pat, Maddie, Max, Michael, Kelly, and Aaron knocked the ball around the park. While Elena, Nalin, Robert, and Pat shared some RBI's, the Ballers were unable to string together enough hits to match the nine runs Naanstop posted. After Matt W, one of the Baller's rising stars, was pulled after the first inning, a number of relievers – Max, Kelly, and Michael – warmed their arms with some solid performances.
Despite a disappoint loss, the Ballers hit the road full of spirit, ready to seize their first victory next week.

Lake Ontario Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative
EPA's research vessel, the Lake Guardian, in port in Rochester,
NY. The Lake Guardian participates in CSMI assessments of
the Great Lakes. People from EPA, DEC, Cornell University,
Clarkson University, the University of Michigan, and other
organizations made up the 2013 Lake Ontario research crew.
Each year, U.S. and Canadian organizations assess one of the Great Lakes as part of the Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI). Information collected during CSMI assessments supports Great Lakes management programs.
CSMI assessments took place in Lake Ontario in 2003, 2008 and 2013. The 2013 assessment focused on improving the understanding of nutrient loading, transport and cycling in Lake Ontario. The five primary research areas were:
- amount of phosphorus and nitrogen entering the lake and how these nutrients move through the food web
- biological connections between nearshore and offshore areas of the lake
- phytoplankton and zooplankton population dynamics and use of nutrients in the lower food web
- fish population changes, diets and distribution in different areas of the lake
- transfer of nutrients and energy through the food web of the lake
The information collected in 2013 will inform management and research priorities such as nutrient loading and management; the role of invasive species; identifying energy pathways between offshore and nearshore habitats; and the ability of the lake to sustain its fisheries.
Lake Ontario CSMI Results

- Lake Ontario 2013 CSMI Progress Report (PDF, 526 KB): This report is a preliminary summary of the information collected during Lake Ontario's 2013 CSMI assessment.
Collaboration is Key to the Success of CSMI
CSMI assessments require collaboration by many organizations. In total, 17 organizations contributed to Lake Ontario's 2013 CSMI assessment: DEC, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environment Canada, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Fisheries & Oceans Canada, U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Cornell University, University of Windsor, SUNY Buffalo State, University of Michigan, University at Buffalo -- SUNY, SUNY Brockport, Syracuse University, Bowling Green State University, Clarkson University, and University of Notre Dame.

We know that multi-tasking is a problem for most people. You just can't be as efficient when you have to switch from task to task as when you focus on just one thing. But often, especially for mothers and in certain jobs, single-tasking is a luxury ... or seen as wasteful.
|A multi-tasker of necessity, c.1990
As you get older, doing two things at once can be linked to memory problems: "When University of California San Francisco researchers [in 2011] asked participants to study one scene, but then abruptly switched to a different image, people ages 60 to 80 had a harder time than those in their 20s and 30s disengaging from the second picture and remembering details about the first. As the brain ages, researchers say, it has a harder time getting back on track after even a brief detour." (via)
Still, there are ways to help yourself...
- switch off electronic notifications
- do things in batches - getting into the mindset saves time
- pay attention to the person you're talking to - don't let the phone or texts interrupt the conversation
- pay attention to your food, rather than eating in front of the tv or at the computer
- if you start something, don't stop till you've finished it ("only handle it once")
"Almost everything except true emergencies can wait
until you have completed what you are working on."
