Your kidneys are important because they do three essential things:
1. Kidneys regulate waterFor your body to work properly, it must contain just the right amount of water. One of the important jobs of the kidneys is to remove excess water from the body or to retain water when the body needs more.
2. Kidneys remove waste products and help to balance the body's mineralsMany of the substances in the blood and other body fluids must be kept at the correct level for the body to function properly. For example, sodium (salt) and potassium are minerals that come from food. The body needs these minerals for good health, but they must be kept at certain levels. When the kidneys are working properly, extra minerals, such as sodium and potassium, leave your body in the urine. The kidneys also help to adjust the levels of other minerals, such as calcium and phosphate (which are important for bone strength, growth and other functions).Your kidneys help remove waste products, such as urea and creatinine, from your body. Urea and other wastes are made when the body breaks down protein, such as meat. Creatinine is a waste product of the muscles. As kidney function decreases, the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood increase. The creatinine level in the blood is a very useful measure of kidney function. It is measured by a simple blood test.
3. Kidneys produce hormonesNormal kidneys also make important chemicals in your body called hormones. These hormones circulate in the bloodstream like "messengers" and regulate blood pressure, red blood cell production and the calcium balance in your body.
The amount of each substance in the blood can be measured in several ways: for example, millimoles (mmol), micromols (μmol) or grams per litre of blood (g/L). The numbers in the table show the range of the normal levels of various substances in the blood of a healthy person. Every lab has different normal values for serum creatinine because their autoanalyzers are different. Every lab also has the option of providing male and female ranges because they do differ based on muscle mass. The values shown above were taken from a Canadian reference lab at the time this content was developed.

This was a second, prettier location for Olive Cafe, whose first location on the east side was more Mediterranean grocery store than restaurant. But owner, Haron Mansi, recently sold this space to his cousin, Yumna, and her fiancé, Mohamed Hakam. This large, sunny space still serves the same menu as Olive Cafe, but with Egyptian specials offered daily, which are delightful. For a taste of everything, order the Vegetarian Plate. For $8 you'll get 4 falafel, 2 dolmas, creamy hummus and scratch made, dill-spiked tsatsiki, but the real reason to get this plate is their delightfully garlicky baba ganoush with chunks of smoked eggplant and soft warm pita bread. TAKE: your food to-go and land for an urban picnic. Middle Eastern cuisine travels well and they wrap everything up nicely for transport.

Chapala Restaurante Mexicano, run by owner/cook Martha Senda and her family, is a "don't miss out just because of where it is located" kind of place. With a cheerful sign and orange paint job on the outside, Chapala is clean and charming on the inside. From any table you can see straight back into Martha's kitchen, and the smell of home-cooked Mexican food fills the air. Get the Chicken Mole for around $9, with refried beans and rice. Handmade tortillas are a must. Warm and fluffy, these tortillas are made to dip it into the dark, rich poblano pepper and chocolate mole sauce. PARK: right in front of the restaurant if you are lucky enough to get a spot, if not, you can pull down a neighborhood side street and park.

Owner, Jerry Naster is probably best known as the former butcher who ran Jerry's Woodswether Café in the West Bottoms for many years.

He is now back in business, with a small breakfast/lunch place open next door to Jasper's Restaurant in the Watts Mill Shopping Center. Making the same great quality breakfast and lunch dishes you love and remember from his old place. Lox & bagels, Frisbee-sized pancakes, eggs with corned beef hash, hash browns and a biscuit.

Analysis: Worst nightmare for Dell, Microsoft?
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's worst nightmare might go like this: PC juggernaut Dell becomes downtrodden enough to be private equity bait and Apple so rich investors sue to get at its cash.
But this is no dream; the technology landscape's transformation is unfolding in ultra-high definition. Dell is going private in a $24.4 billion leveraged buyout after years of struggling to regain PC-maker dominance. Apple, which could never snare more than a slice of the market-share pie despite awe-inspiring design and PC genius, is so device-revenue rich that shareholders are lawyering up to get at its mountain of cash.
Michael Dell's decision to let private equity investors pick apart his namesake brand is the biggest concession to date of a battered industry. Dell's largest shareholder is frustrated enough to try to thwart the former computer giant's rehab strategy: retreat from a low-margin business to fashion a blueprint for success in a world where smartphones and tablets are the "PC" of choice.
The morphing of Apple from David into Goliath is complete. While Dell needs capital and innovation, Apple is afloat in a sea of cash and content consumers. The pirates are circling. On Thursday, billionaire hedge fund manager David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital filed suit to force Apple to to divvy up a portion of its $137 billion cash treasure chest.
It seems like eons ago that Microsoft founder Bill Gates was beamed up on the MacWorld Expo stage to offer Apple visionary Steve Jobs $150 million and merciful promises to ship future Office software to Macs. The year was 1997.
The most contrarian of forecasters could not have foreseen that Dell or Ballmer would devolve into two of the tech world's laughingstocks. Ridiculing Apple's unwillingness to join the PC herd was only one of the signs of overbearing hubris.
The iPhone's debut elicited chuckles from Ballmer: "I said 'man, that is the most expensive phone in the world,' and it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard."
Dell, upon learning that Jobs had humbled himself and taken Gates' handout, had a few words of advice about Apple: "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Fast forward to 2013 and Dell is getting a $2 billion helping hand from Microsoft to give the money directly back to stockholders at $13.65 a share, rather than plowing it into the company's future.
For Ballmer and his once-arrogant cohorts, the nightmare's sequel is already in production as the clock ticks on Hewlett-Packard's future in PCs.
Stay tuned.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is threatening to veto House Republicans' student loan bill.
The White House Budget Office said today the GOP plan does not guarantee current low interest rates for students and creates uncertainty for them. The budget office says that if Obama were presented the current bill, officials would urge a veto.
The Republican-led House on Thursday was expected to pass a bill that would keep interest rates on subsidized Stafford loan rates from doubling on July 1. In exchange, interest rates on new loans would be variable, based on the markets, and change annually.
House and Senate Democrats have urged a two-year extension of current rates while lawmakers work on a long-term solution.

Mondays at my house should be called, "Melissa Mondays". Melissa is my best bud and Mondays are her days off. She comes over EVERY Monday, early or late, so that we can all watch "The Sarah Connor Chronicles". This past Monday she came over early so that we could break out the camera and take some new pictures. She is very close to my two kids, especially Niki, so I took alot of them being their normal goofy selves.
This is Niki stealing some of Aunt Lissa's fashionable style.
At my house, when we are frustrated with each other...we like to squish heads (perspectively speaking). This is Niki holding her pinching fingers up to her eye so that she can squish my head.
She sure doesn't look like my little baby anymore.
(Hey Guys! She's single right now!)
...and I will probably take a punch from her once she reads this. Did I mention she's strong too?

'Malvinas' slip up from British Embassy in Colombia
The British Embassy in Colombia made an embarrassing contribution to ceremonies marking the 31st anniversary of the Falklands conflict this week, when it referred to the islands as the "Malvinas", the term used by Argentina.
In the Embassy's official Twitter account, @UkinColombia, staff repeatedly posted advertisements in Spanish for a debate on the islands called the "Malvinas Falklands forum", in stark contrast to the Government's policy of always using the British name for the territory claimed by Argentina.
The mistake was an embarrassment for Lindsay Croisdale-Appleby, the new British Ambassador to Bogotá, who was principal private secretary to William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, before taking up his posting in Colombia late last year.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that the event had been organised…

River Jordan Baptismal Site Closes Over Pollution Scare
Environmentalists and Israeli officials clash over River Jordan pollution.
JERUSALEM, July 29,2010, 2010 -- Qasr Al-Yahud is one of the most popular baptismal sites on the River Jordan. But it has found itself this week at the center of a bitter battle over its cleanliness.
Thousands of Christian pilgrims immerse themselves in the river's sluggish water each year in faithful recreation of the biblical story of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.
But officials closed the site this week to test the water's quality. Local environmentalists have long complained of intolerably high levels of sewage and farming chemicals that, they say, pose a risk to human health.
But tests by Israel's Nature and Parks Authority this week have cleared the site for visitors.
"There is absolutely no problem with the quality of the water," authority spokesman Eli Dror said. "People can come here and baptize as much as they want. I can guarantee it."
For years, the flow of the Jordan River has been getting slower and lower. A few miles south of the Sea of Galilee, itself suffering from over extraction, the river is blocked by a makeshift dam.
The river runs about 135 miles from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea and its tributaries are shared by Israel, Jordan, Syria and the West Bank.
More than 90 percent of the water is used for nearby farming. What remains of the once mighty Jordan is made up of waste water and the runoff from agricultural land. It is in this brown-colored cocktail of sewage and chemicals that pilgrims have been bathing.
"We've known for a long time that these waters are not healthy," Gideon Bromberg of Israel's Friends of the Earth said. "For most of the year, they are four times more polluted than Israeli standards would permit."
The row comes at a sensitive time in what has always been a sensitive place. The site straddles the river between Jordan and land that has been occupied by the Israeli military since the war of 1967.
Access for pilgrims was severely limited by the Israeli army for years. Recently, however, restrictions have been eased and money has been invested in the site's amenities. Tourists can now visit six days a week, although the route to the river bank still traverses a landscape littered with barbed wire and mine fields.
A Clean Bill of Health?
Not surprisingly, Israel's ministry of tourism has taken a dim view of complaints about the safety of the water.
"This site is one of the most important, most holy sites of the Christian people and they come from all over the world, so we're investing a lot of money to prepare it," Raphael Ben Hur of the tourism ministry said.
Friends of the Earth campaigners have been quick to draw a link between the drive for tourism dollars and what they allege is a bending of the rules.
"We see the potential of health standards being compromised for short-term economic gains," the group's Bromberg said.

The first thing that hits you when the Everest commences is its music. There is melancholy inscribed, and you at once know there is tragedy in the tale. Well, of course, if you have been following the movie, the book, the unfortunate event and been watching the trailers, you already know what you are in for. And so the placard in the beginning tells you.
Everest is a true story that laps around the 1996 disaster on the mountain. The story brings Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, the leaders of two different groups, into the limelight and unwinds every minute detail related to their expedition. What it also does is open the gates for a little dread for those who think trekking it is a piece of cake.
Baltasar Kormakur's direction is good but not great. His frames are silent and endearing and connect you at once. You suddenly find yourself amongst the characters. But sometimes you feel something is missing. Fleeting frames of the progressive kind don't actually let you take profundity in. They rarely let you focus and you keep moving on.
Another problem with the movie is that you have a script that you cannot play around with. These events happened. You cannot toy with its reality. To make it into a feature film, you have to ensure that your direction is out of the world. To connect to the audience you have to make the gloom shattering.
Personally, what I felt missing was a heartbreaking emotional touch that would break you into a million pieces. Death didn't seem to tingle you. Because there was little time spent on the aftermath and more time on the 'what'. You couldn't feel the warmth in the characters so losing them didn't exactly connect. This again was a ball in the director's court. Also, the screenplay being average fails to blow your mind. But there are, at times, brilliant lines in the movie that can be cherished as is.
There is one badass scene when the storm cloud gradually moves towards a stranded Rob that was one of the most memorable ones. Also, Doug and Harold's fate was terrorizing to watch. The scenic beauty that the badass mountain offers is simply out of the world and is well captured. Though Baltasar often used the same frame again and again for emphasis.
There are little things in the movie that are really thought provoking. Clouds of thoughts engulf the team when they are asked "Why?" Why are they trying to reach its peak? Also, when the protagonist looks at a returning team with an injured member, fallen and vanquished, it puts him in doubts. The scene is metaphorical of defeat.
If you wish to relive the disaster, this movie sets a brilliant backdrop and entertains one helluva cast into a commiserating melodrama. A definite watch!

- Heavyweight
Fury: No comparison between me and Price
Tyson Fury has continued his war of words with David Price, claiming he is streets ahead of his British heavyweight rival.
Both fighters are awaiting their next challenge after fighting at the weekend: Price needed less than two rounds to stop Matt Skelton on Friday before Tyson Fury beat Kevin Johnson on points 24 hours later to move in line for a shot at Vitali Klitschko's WBC belt.
Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy has said his client is willing to put a world title fight on hold to face Price, who is keen to step into the ring with his nemesis.
While Price garnered more praise for his knockout victory, Fury, who was booed during his victory in Belfast on Saturday, believes it is unfair to compare the fights because of the quality of their respective opponents.
"There's no comparison," Fury said in the Sun. "He'd never have beaten Kevin. I've moved up to WBC No. 1, Price is British champ.
"Where is the comparison? My fight was an eliminator for the WBC, this isn't an eliminator for the Commonwealth or British title. I won them two years ago."

This Date In Royals History – October 10, 1980
OK, if you are a Royals fans and were born anytime before say 1970 then you know the significance of this date. If you are in this age category I'll just say 'The Home Run' and you'll know. Once again this moment's rank in Royals lore is right at the very top with winning the World Series. In fact just this past season Royals fans voted "Brett Off Gossage" as the #2 moment in the 40 year of Kansas City Royals Baseball.
It is Friday, October 10, 1980 – Game 3 of the 1980 American League Championship Series and the Royals were looking to sweep the Yankees. The Royals scored first when Frank White launched a fifth inning HR off Tommy John. But the Yankees took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the sixth. It looked like John would cruise through the Royals again in the seventh when he retired the first two batters, but then Willie Wilson doubled and Dick Howser decided to summon his relief ace to put the halt to any Royals rally (Remember when closers were routinely brought in the seventh inning without even batting of the eye?)
Most people know what is coming in this story, yet the actual key to the inning was what came next without which the classic confrontation and pivotal moment may never had happened. The unsung hero of that dramatic sequence was Royals shortstop UL Washington (from Stringtown OK – sorry I'm from the Sooner State and I'm required to say that). It was UL who reached on an infield single and without his all-out hustle to beat Willie Randolph's throw by the thinnest on margins George is leading-off the eighth inning with the Yankees in the lead. That's not what happened though…A top of the toothpick to you UL!
Gossage and catcher Rick Cerone decided the best way to attack was to go strength against strength and try to get ahead of Brett with a high fastball to start the at-bat. George didn't miss it. Instead he deposited it into Yankee's Stadium's upper deck. My brother's and I memorized Royals broadcaster Fred White's call of the play after listening to it a million times on the season recap record album called 'The Crowning Episode' – that call went exactly like this:
"Brett steps in…Gossage ready – the pitch. Swing and a high fly ball, deep rightfield there she goes!…Home Run!…Home Run by Brett and the Royals lead four to two….George Brett hit it in the upper deck off Gossage and the Royals lead."
Everytime I talk with Fred about that call he just shakes his head and says, "What a moment." What a moment indeed – unforgettable.
Just A Bit More: The similar circumstances of a less significant but very memorable Brett HR off Gossage three years later are striking. We'll talk more about the 'Pine Tar Game' in July, but without UL Washington's two-out hustle on that day in 1983 another interesting moment in Royals history would not have happened.
By the way, the 'Pine Tar Bat' is still here at the Royals Hall of Fame through the end of December this year. Please make plans to tour the RHOF before that bat goes back to our friends in Cooperstown for awhile. We're open on Wednesdays and Saturdays including this holiday season if you have some family in-town and want to take a brief day trip here in Kansas City.
(Curt Nelson, Director – Royals Hall of Fame)

Yep, this is the one for me. Certainly a world championship has to be a franchise?s top moment but for me it?s this, hands down. Born (1964) and raised in NY, but a diehard Royals fan from age 5, no other game comes close to this. Oh, and being at the game didn?t hurt either. Watching from the lower left field stands (if you watch Frank White?s HR earlier in the game, there?s a dope with a Royals jacket about one section over), I have to be honest until the last out I thought this could get away from us, it always had before. That joint was like a morgue when it was over and surprisingly, most fans were fairly gracious about the outcome.
Not winning it all in the Series was obviously a disappointment but the journey was well ?Worth the Wait? as the movie said.

Cardinals tab Tuesday to begin pope picking
VATICAN CITY Cardinals have set Tuesday as the start date for the conclave to elect the next pope, a milestone in this unusual papal transition and an indication that even without an obvious front-runner, the cardinals have a fairly good idea of who best among them can lead the Catholic Church and tackle its many problems.
The conclave date was set on Friday afternoon during a vote by the College of Cardinals who have been meeting all week to discuss the churchs problems and priorities and the qualities a new pope must possess.
Tuesday will begin with a morning Mass in St. Peters Basilica, followed by a solemn procession into the Sistine Chapel and the first round of secret balloting in the afternoon.
Only one vote is held the first afternoon. If black smoke is sent snaking out of the chapel chimney to indicate there is no immediate victor, the cardinals will retire for the day. They will return Wednesday for two rounds of balloting in the morning, two rounds in the afternoon until a pope has been chosen.

Accounting Research
Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N. Y.
October, 1958 No. 50
1. In the preparation of financial statements presenting financial position or operating results, or both, it is necessary to give considera-tion to contingencies. In accounting a contingency is an existing con-dition, situation or set of circumstances, involving a considerable de-gree of uncertainty, which may, through a related future event, result in the acquisition or loss of an asset, or the incurrence or avoidance of a liability, usually with the concurrence of a gain or loss. A commit-ment which is not dependent upon some significant intervening factor or decision should not be described as a contingency.
2. The contingencies with which this bulletin is primarily con-cerned are those in which the outcome is not sufficiently predictable to permit recording in the accounts, but in which there is a reasonable possibility of an outcome which might materially affect financial posi-tion or results of operations. Examples of contingencies which may result in the incurrence of liabilities, or in losses, are pending or threat-ened litigation, assessments or possible assessments of additional taxes, or other claims such as renegotiation refunds, that are being or would be contested, guarantees of indebtedness of others, and agreements to repurchase receivables which have been sold. Examples of contingen-cies which may result in the acquisition of assets, or in gains, are claims against others for patent infringement, price redetermination upward and claims for reimbursement under condemnation proceed-ings. Material contingencies of the types discussed in this paragraph should be disclosed.

Rissho Kosei-kai is a worldwide Buddhist organization founded in Japan in 1938 by Nikkyo Niwano and Myoko Naganuma. It combines the wisdom of both the Lotus Sutra and the foundational teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. Its purpose is to bring these transformative teachings to the modern world.
The Lotus Sutra is a teaching of human respect, both the study and practice of a spiritual path that develops human potential, and a way of living that seeks peace for all people. By studying, understanding, integrating, and practicing the teachings, human beings can gradually approach a state of mind free from delusions, thereby enriching their own lives and those of others around them. Because everything is interconnected, when people devote themselves to benefiting all beings through harmony, they create awareness and develop a better world. This is the ideal for practitioners of the Lotus Sutra.

Jessica Ghawi, who was shot and killed on Friday at an Aurora, Colo. movie theater, narrowly escaped a different massacre just last month.
While visiting Toronto last month, the 24-year-old was nearly caught in the Eaton Centre mall shooting, which left two dead and six injured. On her blog, she wrote that she left the mall just three minutes before the gunman opened fire on the food court, right where she was previously standing. Her blog post touches on her experience cheating death that day and opines on the fragility of life. As she watched emergency responders rush victims out on stretchers, she wrote:
I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don't know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath.
Tragically, hers came just seven weeks later as she watched the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises at an Aurora, Colo. movie theater. Her excitement over the film could hardly be contained, splayed all over Twitter as she tweeted using her handle @JessicaRedfield. In her last exchange, just before the film, she teased a friend who was missing the late-night screening.

@jessespector MOVIE DOESN'T START FOR 20 MINUTES—

The massacre took the lives of 12 moviegoers and injured nearly 50 others, as gunman James Holmes, who was wearing a gas mask, entered the theater 20 minutes after the movie began and opened fire.

Ghawi, originally from Texas, was working as an intern for Denver sports-radio station 104.3 The Fan. She had been living in Denver for just over a year, according to an earlier tweet. She was also noted as an intern for the You Can Play Project, a Denver-based sports organization that advocates for fairness and equality for gay athletes. Both of her employers tweeted their sadness over Ghawi's death.
We're sad to report @JessicaRedfield, an intern for The Fan, was 1 of those killed in the theater shooting. Our prayers are w/her family.—
104.3 The FAN (@1043TheFan) July 20, 2012
Our staff is despondent today over the loss of our intern Jessica Redfield. We will miss her intelligence, kindness, and work ethic greatly.—
You Can Play Project (@YouCanPlayTeam) July 20, 2012
Ghawi's brother Jordan described on his blog his heartache and confusion when he was alerted of his sister's death. "At approximately 0215 CST, I received an hysterical, and almost unintelligible, phone call from my mother." He then explained he called Brent Lowak, Jessica's friend who had attended the movie with her. "Brent further stated that he took two rounds and that my sister took one round followed by an additional round which appeared to strike her in the head." After these conversations, he wrote that he quickly jumped on a plane from San Antonio to Denver in order to be there with his sister.
After fortuitously escaping the Eaton Centre shooting, Jessica Ghawi wrote in her blog post: "My mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest."

A Street Vendor from Bahia
The Thereza Christina Maria collection is composed of 21,742 photos assembled by Emperor Pedro II (1825-91) throughout his life and donated by him to the National Library of Brazil. The collection covers a wide variety of subjects. It documents the achievements of Brazil and Brazilians in the 19th century and also includes many photographs of Europe, Africa, and North America. In 1862, the government of Spain under Queen Isabella II sent a team of naturalists to South America to collect objects for Spanish museums. The endeavor was known as the Scientific Commission of the Pacific. Rafael Castro y Ordonez, a draftsman on the commission, documented the trip in photographs, producing a pictorial record of the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Americas in the mid-19th century. This photograph was taken in the coastal state of Bahia. One of Brazil's centers of sugar cultivation, it was also the home of most of the country's slaves.

General Information About Ross Institute of Medical and Dental Technology
The first activities of Ross Education initially began in 1969, when J. M. Ross opened a school under the name Learning Foundations. The school was located in Flint, Michigan, and it provided after-school academic instruction to kindergarten through twelfth grade students. Between 1969 and 1971, Mr. Ross opened six additional schools under the same name. In 1971, the name of the company was changed to Ross Learning, Inc., and the focus of the company shifted to providing prevocational and vocational training services to adults. In 1973, Ross Learning, Inc. was purchased by Howard J. Hulsman, and the organization began its evolution into career training centers. In 2004, Mr. Hulsman sold Ross Learning, Inc., to three officers of the corporation - Christine Ossenmacher, Paul Mitchell and Richard Lockman. Ross Education, LLC purchased the assets in 2005. Today, Ross Medical Education Centers are allied health schools located throughout communities in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. All are accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. Each facility operates independently. Today, the officers of Ross Education, LLC are: * Paul Mitchell - President, CEO * John Higgins - Vice President, Secretary * Brian Demkowicz - Vice President * Anthony Iaquinto - CFO, Treasurer

Events celebrate the contributions of hunters and anglers to conservation
PRATT — The 40th Annual National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHFD) — designated by Congressional decree and Presidential Proclamation — will be held Sept. 24. The event is a nationwide celebration of hunters and anglers and their contributions to conservation.
PRATT — The 40th Annual National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHFD) — designated by Congressional decree and Presidential Proclamation — will be held Sept. 24. The event is a nationwide celebration of hunters and anglers and their contributions to conservation.
This year, T. Boone Pickens is the honorary chair for National Hunting and Fishing Day. Pickens is one of America's most prominent and influential businessmen. He is president and CEO of the investment firm BP Capital Management and founder of Mesa Petroleum.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) Operations Office will host a NHFD event at its Pratt Operations Office located at 512 SE 25th Ave. (2 miles east and 1 mile south of Pratt) on Saturday, Sept. 24. The celebration will run from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. The event will include a kids' fishing derby, a casting contest, catch and release fishing, archery, a canoe race, and other outdoor events.
National Hunting and Fishing Day was established in 1972 under President Nixon, when Congress dedicated the fourth Saturday of each September to recognize the efforts of generations of hunters and anglers who support wildlife conservation and habitat improvements with billons of dollars collected through fees on hunting and fishing licenses and permits, excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment, as well as donations. Many species such as white-tailed deer, turkey, pronghorn, elk, whooping cranes, and bald eagles were brought back from near extinction through management programs funded by sportsmen.
Celebrities traditionally lend their names to the National Hunting and Fishing Day cause by serving as honorary chairs. Previous honorary chairs include Jeff Foxworthy, Hank Williams Jr., Tom Seaver, Arnold Palmer, Terry Bradshaw, Karl Malone, George Brett, Robert Urich, Ward Burton, Louise Mandrell, Travis Tritt, Wade Boggs, Tracy Byrd, and Luke Bryan.
National Hunting and Fishing Day 2011 sponsors include Wonders of Wildlife, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the Sportsman Channel, Realtree, Smith & Wesson, Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Cabela's, GunBroker.com, Academy Sports + Outdoors, the Pope and Young Club, Yamaha Motor Corporation, and the Izaak Walton League.
For more information, including a detailed history of National Hunting and Fishing Day, as well as a feature article on Pickens, go online to www.nhfday.org. For events in your area, contact the nearest KDWPT office.

Two keynote presenters at the recently concluded NA 2010 considered the similarities between business sustainability in the profit and not for profit sectors as well as the role materials handling can play in ushering in a greener business operation in the session "The Business Case for Sustainable Distribution Centers."
Keynoter Carol Tienken is the COO of the Greater Boston Food Bank, a facility with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver certification. Tienken's 125,000-square-foot food bank distributed 32 million pounds of food last year, following at least 15 years of double-digit growth.
"It's not a small facility and it's not a small task," said Tienken. "And neither was the process of retrofitting the facility with an eye toward sustainability. Every 50 cents we can save puts a meal on a table."
John Ling is the vice president of supply chain management at Crate and Barrel, which handled 350,000 home deliveries and 5 million parcel deliveries last year. Sustainability was a top priority at the LEED Gold-certified, 1.2 million-square-foot facility, said Ling. The company has also retrofitted three other DCs for sustainability.
"We didn't come up with huge initiatives, we looked for quick things to solve," said Ling, who advised other businesses to, "do it for the right reasons. Don't just do it because it's popular."

Amal Graafstra is a friend of ours who is the author of the do it yourself RFID book, RFID Toys, and owner of txtgroups.com.
Amal has experienced a decent amount of internet fame for being one of the first people to implant RFID tags into his body. Amal, is far from wierd or crazy, he's a very down to earth guy who happens to like new technology and wasn't afraid to insert a tiny glass bead into his hand. After all, it's a pretty tame body mod compared to what many people do.
Amal has written an article about his experience experimenting with RFID called Hands On.
How radio-frequency identification and I got personal
When I open my front door, I don't reach for a key. When I log into my computer, I don't touch my keyboard. When I start my motorcycle, again, no key needed. Instead, I just wave my hand and I'm in business.
I was one of the first do-it-yourselfers to have a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag implanted under my skin. In fact, I have two—one between the thumb and index finger in my left hand, the other in the matching spot on my right hand.
So what's a nice guy like me doing with a microchip in each of my hands? My life as an RFID guinea pig started in early 2005. At the time I was managing servers for medical facilities around Seattle, a job for which I carried around a ring of keys to almost 100 different doors and drawers.
That bulky key ring got me thinking. It struck me that modern keys are just crude identification devices, little changed in centuries. Even if each lock were unique—most aren't—keys can be copied in any hardware store and, once distributed, are hard to control.

Field Excursions in Earth Science is designed as a non-prerequisite field-based course for elementary education majors. Classic Canadian Shield and Michigan Basin outcrops and Quaternary features are used to teach those Earth science objectives considered most important for K-8 teachers by the Michigan State Board of Education and by others. We integrated these objectives into five conceptual pathways rather than presenting them as discrete pieces of information.
A variety of teaching techniques based on constru- ctivist educational theory are employed, so that pre-service teachers experience active-learning strategies in the context of how science is practiced. Our learning strategies address the cognitive and affective domains and utilize personal experiences in conjunction with pre- and post-experience organizers to allow students to develop individual meanings. We place emphasis on observations and concepts and we encourage students to explain their understanding of concepts verbally and in a variety of written formats.
Activities address spatial concepts and map reading; mineral, rock, and fossil identification; formation of rocks; surficial processes and landform development; structural deformation and plate tectonics; and environmental issues. Students keep field notes and have daily projects. They address the pedagogical structure of the course in a daily diary.

Syrian rebel forces on Tuesday seized a military post southeast of Aleppo, tightening the noose around the northern city, the insurgents and a watchdog said.
After hours of fighting, the rebels in the area 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Aleppo, Syria's second city, said they had taken the post at dawn in the village of Al-Mintar, near Al-Safireh.
They said the operation was carried out by the Islamist group Ahrar al-Sham of the Free Syrian Army, the main component of the armed opposition to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Seventy soldiers were killed or captured in the fighting.
The commander of the post, Colonel Ayman Shaar, managed to escape, however, the rebels said.
Six 23-mm cannons, rocket batteries, weapons and ammunition were seized by the rebels, who also said nine of their fighters were killed.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the reports, but said six rebels were killed in the fighting.
A military helicopter was struck meanwhile while bombing near the base of Sheikh Suleiman, 25 kilometres northwest of Aleppo, said the watchdog, which relies on a network of activists and medics for its information.
The rebels besieged Base 46 for two months before taking about 10 days to gain control one of the army's last strongholds in northwestern Syria.
The Observatory says more than 40,000 people have been killed since the eruption in March 2011 of a popular uprising that turned into an armed insurgency following a bloody regime crackdown.

You may be wondering....now that I know the benefits to booking a vacation rental, how does this work exactly? How do I book, is there a front desk, a concierge, or do I get a pass-code to the lock? The truth is, it is very simple! First, you book directly on our site www.perfectplaces.com or through the property manager and owner directly.
Over 45,000 of the 65,000 vacation rental properties on PerfectPlaces.com offer secure online booking! Booking a property online offers you the convenience you are accustomed to when booking a traditional hotel room online. On our website, you can confirm the property availability, price, terms and finalize your booking online with a secure credit card purchase. This eliminates the time consuming, back and forth email and telephone calls. It takes as little as a few minutes to book your next vacation rental online!
Some of our property owners do not offer online booking, yet. In that case, simply fill out the request form when you find a vacation rental you are interested in. The property manager will then respond to your inquiry and let you know if the property is available for the dates you have selected and will give you the rate. Be sure to ask any questions that you may have about the property and their policies. Most managers will get back to you within 24 hours, so check your email and phone messages!
Once you have your property booked, you will receive confirmation directly from the property manager. The manager will send you a detailed list of instructions on how to check in, get the key and how to check out. Some property managers simply have you check in at a front desk, some give you a pass-code that you will punch in at the front door and some will leave the key for you in another location, such as a manager's office. The process is very simple and takes much less time than waiting in line at the check in of a hotel! The same goes for the check out process-just follow the instructions you are given. It really is a quick and easy process.

Google shows heavy advertising across the net, either because they have a strong campaign or because they are like many of the lower-end or questionable companies that "chew 'em up and spit 'em out". The deal seems very good but I imagine the accommodation to be small, basic and probably shared. The earnings "...up to $1500" means you probably won't get close to that, and may even mean you are paid very little at all unless you are in a minority of outstanding performers. I imagine the hours and the work is very long and hard and the office environment is possibly happy but stressful due to a target or results system, with much 'morale-boosting' exercises. It would seem this might be good for younger folk, and that the experience gained may not be useful in the wider job market.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 12, No. 1 Spring 1985
William D. Samson UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
Abstract: In this paper, an author discovers his heritage: the income taxes which evolved in the South of the United States during the nineteenth century. These taxes are of interest because many tax concepts which are now taken for granted were developed during this time. Of particular interest are the common factors and events which led most southern states and the Confederacy to experiment with an income tax. These experiments influenced the structure of the United States federal and state income taxes in the next century.
The United States federal income tax did not emerge suddenly with the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment. Rather, the modern U.S. income tax, adopted in 1913, is the product of long develop-ment, experimentation and evolution.

"Some of us are celebrating just being alive. We are really concerned about some of the small rental houses in the forest, so Eric decided he wanted to do this fundraiser and by golly it's gonna be!"
