US to provide $75 million to expand Ebola care centers
The American aid agency announced Thursday it would donate $75 million to fund 1,000 more beds in Ebola treatment centers in Liberia and buy 130,000 more protective suits for health care workers.
West Africa's struggling health systems have buckled under the pressure of an Ebola outbreak that has already killed about 1,900 people. Nurses in Liberia are wearing rags over their heads to protect themselves from the dreaded disease, amid concerns that shortages of protective gear throughout the region are responsible for the high Ebola death toll among health workers.
The U.S. Agency for International Development also urged American health care workers to respond to the outbreak. Rajiv Shah, the agency's administrator, told The Associated Press that several hundred more international experts are needed and the agency will help send Americans health care workers there.
"This will get worse before it gets better," he said. "We have a coherent and clear strategy ... but it will take weeks to months to get operational at that scale."
The $75 million comes in addition to about $20 million the agency has already donated to fight the outbreak that was first identified in March in Guinea, and has spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The killer virus is spread through bodily fluids such as blood, sweat, urine or diarrhea.
Health workers account for about 10 percent of the deaths so far. Much of the protective gear they use must be destroyed after use, so Ebola wards need a constant flow of clean equipment.
One nurse at a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia's capital, said she and her colleagues have resorted to cutting up their old uniforms and trying them over their faces to protect themselves, looking out through holes in the fabric. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to talk to the media.
"It is really pathetic," she said. "We are not equipped to face the situation."
With no goggles to protect them, their eyes burn from the fumes of chlorine used to disinfect the ward, the nurse said.
David and Nancy Writebol, American missionaries who worked at another hospital in Liberia, echoed those concerns, speaking to the AP in North Carolina. They said doctors and nurses are overwhelmed by a surge of patients and there aren't enough hazard suits to keep them safe.
Health care workers can go through thousands of the suits a week, David Writebol said, and the suspension of flights to the region by many airlines is making it harder to get gear in.
Three American health care workers have been sickened with Ebola while working in Liberia. Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly were flown back to the U.S. to be treated and have since recovered, while the third only recently tested positive for the disease.
Another doctor who was infected with Ebola while working in Liberia is being flown to a Nebraska hospital for treatment, doctors there said Thursday.
Officials at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha said Dr. Rick Sacra, 51, is expected to arrive sometime Friday. Sacra will begin treatment in the hospital's 10-bed special isolation unit, the largest of four such units in the U.S.
Liberia has been hardest hit by the current outbreak, with the largest number of cases and deaths. Doctors Without Borders, which is running several Ebola treatment centers, said last week that its clinic in Monrovia is overrun with patients and doctors are no longer able to provide intravenous treatments.
The Liberian nurse, meanwhile, said she and her colleagues live every day with the fear that they'll become infected.
"When you go through this and return home, you lie in bed asking yourself: I am still safe? Or I have contracted the disease?" she said.
Meanwhile, health officials were monitoring more than 200 people who may have been exposed to Ebola in southern Nigeria.
Authorities had been cautiously optimistic that they would be able to keep Nigeria's outbreak relatively small since the one sick Liberian-American who brought the disease to Nigeria by plane was quickly isolated.
But then last month a person he had come into contact with escaped surveillance and fled to the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt. The contact infected a doctor, who, in turn, exposed dozens of people to the disease, the World Health Organization said.
Of the 200 people identified as exposed to the ill doctor, WHO said about 60 are considered at high risk of getting Ebola.

Board Reward
Reunite gear with owners here.

Board Reward
What is an appropriate board reward? I got a call from a guy who found my board. He said he was going to sell it at a wakeboard shop and then decided to call the number on the board.
Re: Board Reward
$20-$50 and a couple 6 packs (or a 24-pack if it's cheap stuff) of the guy's favorite brew seems reasonable...you go to him to pick it up as to not be an inconvenience.
If it's an older board you dont care about too much, consider this a forced opportunity to upgrade!!
Re: Board Reward
Go there with a few thugs and throw a blanket party- JK!
Fifty bucks is about all he'd hope to get at a... So match that, if he said 30, give him $40-
Tell US about this board, what does it look like, I'll keep my eye out-
Re: Board Reward
That's serious bad Karma in my opinion. Pay the money and realize that he'll get his payback down the road.
Tunces - The driving cat!
Re: Board Reward
Anything I have ever found and returned has been for free or a 12-pack. To ask for money and a reward is kind of lame, in my opinion. Is he really going to hold your board ransom?? did it say reward on it next to your name? If you find something of Value you may not have the legal right to keep it without trying to find the owner. In this case he did contact you, but to make you pay?!? Check in with the police department and see what the law is. He could be in possession of stolen property at this point, granted he found it but it wasn't his to keep. What if it was a 8000$ bike? I think a reward is a ideal for this situation but if he is pressing for it and thinks he deserves one than I may act differently. Basically he was walking down the beach and took a board?? Not much different than stealing.
On the flipside if I lost my 650$ Twin Tip I would pay 150$ to get it back if I had to. Good luck.

Re: Board Reward
AD72 didnt say specifically that the guy was demanding ransom...Sounds like AD72 is inquring with us to see what we've offered in the past to people who've found our lost equipment.
Re: Board Reward
Thanks for the responses. It was odd that the guy did not call me when he found it the same time I was at the location but instead shopped around and then gave me a call a day later. I am glad he opted to take the high road so far and give me a call. He is expecting some sort of reward from the conversation. It is a few years old but still a good board worth the trip and some kind of reward. Let's see how this pans out. I left a message this morning on the number he gave me. If the guy turns out ok then I figure I will do as you guys suggest. It is a good karma test.
Also I am kicking myself for not spending more time trying to find it. It was low wind conditions at Sherman Island Wednesday. I was close enough to shore to go get my other board and it was a flood current. When I went back out, it was nowhere to be found. I just went on to have a great session otherwise.

The 25-year-old scored a double in the Reds' 3-0 victory over the Black Cats on Wednesday night, with the Uruguayan assisting Sterling for his second Premier League goal.
Sterling, who signed a new five-year deal with the Anfield outfit last month, insisted that he has learnt a lot from training and playing alongside Suarez, with the 18-year-old admitting he is constantly picking up things from his team-mate.
|Luis Suarez is 5/2 to be the top Premier League goalscorer with Paddy Power
"He speaks to me a lot, telling me to move the ball quicker and stuff like that. In training, I try to watch him and take a few things off him. He's a great player.
"As a young player, that's what you've got to do - try to take a bit off players like him and [Steven] Gerrard and bring it to your own game."
Sterling joined Liverpool from QPR's youth academy in 2010 for a reported fee of £600,000 and has since made 23 first-team appearances for the Anfield outfit.
The youngster has admitted that he is happy with his two-goal tally this season, but has revealed his determination to extend that in the coming games.
"I've only scored two so that was the best one I've scored so far and hopefully there'll be more," he added.
"I thought we started a bit slowly [against Sunderland] but then we got into our game as we knew we could play - it was good to get the three points we really needed."

Six Flags Magic Mountain will add a new 40-story thrill ride on June 30 themed to DC Comics villain Lex Luthor that will rank as the world's tallest and fastest drop tower.
> Photos: New attractions coming to Six Flags parks in 2012
The 400-foot-tall Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom will be attached to both sides of the Valencia amusement park's 415-foot-tall Superman: Escape from Krypton coaster tower.
After ascending to the top of the new drop tower, Lex Luthor riders will freefall for five seconds at speeds reaching 85 miles per hour before a magnetic braking system stops the drop.
Themed to Superman's arch-enemy, the Lex Luthor drop tower will feature green and purple floorless gondolas with riders sitting eight abreast.
Superman trains will rocket up and down the L-shaped shuttle coaster track at 100 mph while Lex Luthor riders rise and fall nearby on the new drop tower built by Switzerland-based Intamin.
Magic Mountain's Lex Luthor ride bests the reigning 390-foot-tall Giant Drop at Dreamworld amusement park in Australia, which has reigned as the tallest drop tower since debuting in 1998. Giant Drop also reaches an approximate speed of 85 mph.
In 2007, Magic Mountain removed an earlier generation of an Intamin-built vertical drop ride known as Freefall after 25 years of service.

Today, JBL is announcing a program that makes it even easier for customers to purchase complete JBL systems including the MSC1 Monitor System Controller. For a limited time Customers in the United Sates who purchase the MSC1 with LSR2300 Series Studio Monitors through qualified JBL Professional dealers can receive up to $150 cash back when they purchase system combinations by April 30, 2010.
JBL is offering the following system rebates:
• Purchase a system of two LSR2328P studio monitors, one LSR2310SP subwoofer and one MSC1 Monitor System Controller and receive $150 cash back.
• Purchase two LSR2325P studio monitors, one LSR2310SP subwoofer and one MSC1 and receive $100 cash back.
• Purchase a pair of LSR2328P studio monitors with the MSC1 and receive $100 cash back.
• Purchase a pair of LSR2325P studio monitors with the MSC1 and receive $50 cash back.
• Elegantly add a subwoofer to any system. Purchase the LSR2310SP Subwoofer and the MSC1 and receive $50 cash back.
In a convenient desktop form-factor, the JBL MSC1 Monitor System Controller combines essential Monitor System Controls found in the "monitor section" of large mixing consoles along with JBL's ingenious RMCâ"¢ Room Mode Correction technology that tunes speakers to compensate for low frequency problems in the room. The end result is great mixes, in any room.
The MSC1 serves as a desktop switcher than selectable allows monitoring of a range of signal sources, using two pairs of studio monitors. The MSC1 includes a subwoofer output, bass management crossover, and a level control to accurately integrate a subwoofer into any system. RMC technology in the MSC1 tunes the speakers and the sub to eliminate exaggerated low frequency that can occur in the mix room. While the MSC1 works with any speakers, for a truly accurate, full range reference system the ideal combination is the MSC1 with JBL's new JBL LSR2300 Studio Monitors that are priced to put professional performance within reach of any studio.
"Customers working in acoustically less-than-perfect rooms discover their mixes don't sound right when played on other systems," noted Peter Chaikin, Director of Recording And Broadcast Marketing at JBL Professional. "JBL has been leading the charge to fix the problem. The MSC1/LSR2300 Mail-In Rebate Program is JBL's New Year's gift to customers, for better mixes in 2010 and beyond!"

Our Mission
The study of languages has become essential to the education of global citizens as the world becomes more and more internationally connected, and as individual nations become increasingly diverse. Our department offers comprehensive introductory through advanced level classes in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish as well as courses in the Self-instructional Language Program in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian.
To be able to communicate effectively with people from different parts of the world is not only a lifelong skill that enhances the individual's ability to think outside the boundaries of his or her native culture; it is also a practical skill that can be applied to any line of work. Global citizenship does not end at language proficiency; that is why our upper-level classes are designed to deepen the student's familiarity with the culture in which the target language is embedded. By discussing written and visual texts in that language, students will both enhance their linguistic skills and develop a more refined consciousness of the culture's traditions and behaviors.
Our goal is to develop in our students a cultural competency that will allow them to enter the world aware of how they relate to and approach other cultures, so that they are prepared to use their knowledge and abilities in whatever field interests them.

Organized to commemorate the bicentenary of the abolition of the British slave trade, Art & Emancipation in Jamaica is the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the visual culture of slavery and emancipation in Jamaica. The exhibition chronicles the iconography of sugar, slavery, and the topography of Jamaica from the beginning of British rule in 1655 to the aftermath of emancipation in the 1840s, with a particular focus on the turbulent years preceding and immediately following emancipation in 1838. Gathered together for the first time are drawings and prints depicting life on a Jamaican sugar plantation, and images used by the anti-slavery campaign.
At the center of the exhibition is the lithographic series Sketches of Character, In Illustration of the Habits, Occupation, and Costume of the Negro Population in the Island of Jamaica, made by the Jewish Jamaican-born artist Isaac Mendes Belisario. Published in Jamaica in 1837-38, Sketches of Character provides the first detailed visual representation of Jonkonnu (or John Canoe), the celebrated Afro-Jamaican masquerade performed by the enslaved during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
In addition, the show features Jamaican and West African costumes and musical instruments, accompanied by video footage of historic and contemporary performances, as well as a specially commissioned sound track. The exhibition concludes with work by contemporary Jamaican and Afro-Caribbean artists investigating the complex legacy of slavery and emancipation.

Plenty of people who know the NBA looked at the Brooklyn Nets and predicted they'd finish the season around .500 and sneak into the playoffs.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, whose opinion ultimately matters more than anyone else's, saw things quite differently. His feeling that Brooklyn had underperformed led to the decision Thursday to fire coach Avery Johnson with his team at 14-14 through 28 games.
"We are ready to pay any expense to bring talent to the Nets and we have very talented players, but they are capable of much more," Prokhorov said before the Nets' 97-81 win over the Charlotte Bobcats, which pushed Brooklyn to 15-14. "To me, this is totally unacceptable."
MORE: Jackson faced with possibility of first fixer-upper
After last summer's free-agent spending spree, during which forward Gerald Wallace was overpaid, Joe Johnson's colossal contract was picked up from Atlanta and Deron Williams was signed for $100 million, the Nets don't have capital to build their roster without pushing past the NBA's luxury tax threshold.
But they do have the ability to pick up another coach. While rumors have percolated that the Nets are set to pursue Phil Jackson, Prokhorov said the Nets are not following high-profile candidates at the moment, according to ESPNNewYork.com.
In the interim, assistant P.J. Carlesimo will handle the coaching duties, and if he does well enough, he could even end up with the job, Prokhorov said.
"P.J. is the head coach and we have an amount of trust with him," Prokhorov said. "Now P.J. is the head coach, and if it become necessary, you know who the usual suspects are."
Although Prokhorov suggests the Nets' coaching search is not currently in motion, CBSSports.com, citing league sources, reported that Jackson has interest in exploring the Nets position, an opportunity the team is highly unlikely to pass up.
MORE: Coach options available to Brooklyn
Prokhorov made it clear the decision to fire Johnson was his own, but most of the backlash has been sent Williams' way. He has been criticized by Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley and labeled a coach-killer because Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan resigned before Williams was traded to the Nets.
When asked what direction he would have favored for the team, Williams said he would have liked for Johnson to receive more time.
"If they asked me, I would have said he needs to be our coach," Williams said. "He was a big reason why I stayed here. That's how things go nowadays. As soon as something happens, someone has to take the blame, and I guess that guy is me. I can't fight everything being said. I'm not going to try."

Captain's ReportTen Feet of AdrenalineThe Wake Edition is Made to Rock the Waves By Capt. Ron SvobodaA couple of years ago, Sea-Doo took the bold step to develop and market a wake sports dedicated watercraft. Focused on the i-generation of young, digitally driven thrill seekers, the Wake Edition is basically a GTX model with numerous upgrades required by boarders to perform their art. After spending an afternoon on this exciting machine, I wish I were 20-something again, so that I could get behind this watercraft every weekend and shred the waterways too.Adrenaline Ride There is more to the Wake Edition than just being one of the most cost-effective tow boat options for recreational and serious skiers, skaters and boarders. Like being the official towboat of the Pro Wakeskate Series and delivering up to 215 heart-pounding horsepower. That's right, 215 eye watering, cheek flapping wild horses all under the control of your thumb. If that's too much power for you, which it may be, then you can always go with the base model which provides a more than adequate 155 horsepower engine. But since the need for speed is a difficult craving to quench, we opted to test the big boy version with its supercharged, inter-cooled Rotax 4-TEC engine. This 1494cc, four-stroke block is enviro-friendly with super low emissions and closed-loop cooling, which means less maintenance and longer engine life, especially for you saltwater riders.Safety FirstAll this machismo propels the 828 pound craft to a top speed in the high 60's range. If that's a bit too much for your weekend cruise or for your inexperienced friends to pilot, don't sweat it, because Sea-Doo provides you with "Learning Keys". These inventive safety lanyards are programmed to limit the top speed of the boat to 35 or 45 mph so you can comfortably allow others to enjoy this stimulating craft.Innovative FeaturesKey features of the Wake model starts with the patented, retractable tow pylon. This little baby is neatly concealed behind the back seat and quickly deploys to provide a secure, high mount for a ski rope, plus it incorporates two grab handles for the observer who is facing aft. A pair of wide angle, convex mirrors up front let the pilot keep an eye on what's happening behind him too. Another Sea-Doo first is the removable wakeboard racks which provide secure storage of two boards on either side of the boat. When not in use, simply unclip them and store in the bow compartment that has special nooks design just for them. Speaking of bow storage, the Wake Edition has a giant compartment up front that houses a removable, watertight storage bin. This jumbo tub is large enough for all your daily food and beverage needs. Plus it can be removed from the craft so you can take to the beach or haul it to the kitchen for replenishing. The designers at Bombardier also thought to include a small removable tray within the bin to provide a convenient spot for your tow rope. With the bin removed, there is still lots of room in the bow compartment to stash PFDs, towels and other items. If you have small items to store, like car keys, sunglasses and lotion, there is a handy little compartment located just under the handle bars.Performance and RideWhile tooling around on the boat, I really liked how stable she was, even at wide-open-throttle and approaching warp speed, the craft was very confident. Similarly at low speeds, the Wake Edition offers a nice dry ride and maneuvers great. But I think Sea-Doo really should include a pair of speed goggles with the package, as your vision at 60 mph plus does get blurry and intense. Controlling this speed machine is easy though, with revised handlebars that are wider and taller for a more comfortable riding position. Good thing too, because with 15.9 gallons of fuel capacity, you'll be out all day. The digital "Information Center" will help you keep tabs on everything, including speed, engine rpm, fuel and 18 other tid-bits of data.Another great feature that I really like about the boat is the ease of maintentence. Gone are the days of dealing with two-cycle oil, fouled spark plugs and internal engine corrosion. With the 4-TEC engine, you simply remove the two-part seat to check crankcase oil and radiator coolant levels. And should the battery need service, that's easy to reach too. About the only drawback to the Wake Edition are the color choices: it comes in either white with red or red with white. Fortunately the black accents and aggressive styling make for a very stylish and hip watercraft. So go out, grab your buddy, a pair of boards and slam down a couple of energy drinks. Because the Wake Edition is as electrifying to drive as it is to be towed behind.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sea-Doo Wake Edition (2007) is 64.9 mph (104.4 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Sea-Doo Wake Edition (2007) is 2.43 sec. seconds.

Monument Valley, AZ, 11/10.
This is the first chance I've had to sit down and write a post for over a week because it's been busy, busy, busy with travel and adventure. I left Santa Fe on Friday morning after a pleasant day and a half of "big" city sightseeing. Thursday evening I did get a chance to go to the La Fonda Hotel and see Bill Hearne perform his Western music in the hotel bar. The bar had a small dance floor and it was jammed all night with locals and visitors doing the Texas Two Step and other Western dances. It was an entertaining time.
I had only a few hours to drive on Friday morning and pulled into the Acoma/Sky City Casino, RV park right about noon. Fifteen bucks gave me a nice site with full hook-ups…and a place to meet Guitar before heading to Canyon de Chelly. While I waited for Guitar I did some much needed cleaning of the trailer. A couple of days of boondocking had left both the inside and outside of the trailer pretty messy. Guitar arrived in early evening and we shared dinner and made plans for the trip to Chinle and the Canyon.
We only had about 150 miles to travel on Saturday but there was a lot to see along the way and I needed pick up some supplies before heading to the rather primitive area of Chinle, AZ. Our route was 1-40 West to Gallup and then to angle northwest through Window Rock, Ganado and into Chinle. Gallup was the last big town offering full service grocery stores so we stopped at an Albertson's to get a last few things to take with us. Guitar and I had travelled through Gallup about two years ago and said that the next time we went through we would explore it more. Unfortunately this time we had other priorities so after a grocery stop and a lunch stop we proceeded on.
About 50 miles up the road from Gallup is the old Hubble Trading Post. This famous trading post was established in the late 1800's and is now a National Historic Site. It's been on my "to see" list for a number of years and I finally had the chance to see it. It was like a trip back in time. The trading post still sells supplies to the local native population and jewelry, blankets and other crafts to the passing tourists. It's an adobe building with low ceilings and large timber rafters holding up the roof. The traders old desk and filing cabinet still occupy a place of prominence in the jewelry room. It's hard not to feel the history and wonder about the lives of the people that traded, bought and sold in this establishment. It was also hard not to become a buyer because they had a lot of very attractive Indian jewelry at prices as good as you will find anywhere in the Southwest. By 4 pm we had reached the campground at Canyon de Chelly. This is a very nice campground with forty or fifty campsites and only about a third were full because this is the "off" season. The best part of the campground is the price….free. There are not many National Parks/National Monuments that offer free camping so this is just a bonus to the fabulous scenery and history of the place.
On Sunday, Guitar's cousin Jamie, joined us and we did the driving tour of the north and south rim of the canyon. The weather was spectacular with temperatures in the high 50's to low 60's and just a few clouds. I was glad to see the clouds not from a weather perspective but from a photography perspective. In the summer and fall in the Southwest the sky can be brilliant cobalt blue and cloudless. While it's great weather it can be a bit boring photographically speaking. A few clouds can really make an otherwise so-so picture, pop.
This canyon has been home to native people since around 300 AD. The Anasazi reached their peak in this canyon between about 1050 and 1300 and then the Navajo came to the canyon in the 1700's. In 1805 the Spanish came through the canyon and massacred many Navajo for reasons unknown. One of the coolest petroglyphs I've ever seen was drawn by the Navajo to document the Spanish incursion. There are plenty of other older petroglyphs and pictographs but for some reason this one just fascinates me. I got the chance to see it because after doing the driving tour of the rim of the canyon, we all decided to take a guided tour of the canyon itself. We took that tour on Monday and used a local native guide. It was an unforgettable experience! Not only was the weather perfect but the trees were in full fall color. Our guide had been bought up in the canyon and entertained us with not only the history of the canyon but stories of his childhood in the canyon. Along the way we saw lots of Anasazi ruins and rock art.
The Spanish weren't the only ones to bring destruction to this beautiful place. In 1866 Colonel Kit Carson under orders from his superiors came to the canyon and destroyed crops and orchards and basically starved the Navajo into submission. Once they surrendered they were taken to Fort Sumner, NM and didn't return to the canyon until they signed a peace treaty in 1868.
Having spent two days exploring both the top and bottom of the canyon, we decided on Tuesday, to widen the circle of exploration. I had read about a relatively unknown and unvisited arch about 10 miles from the canyon and Tuesday we went looking for it. It wasn't really too hard to find but it entailed a hike of about a half mile to get to it. The rewards for the hike far outweighed the effort involved however. Not only was it a beautiful arch but along the way we also found a tall sandstone spire. In the picture below I'm standing next to the spire and way in the background to the right of the spire, you can see the arch.
Battery power is getting low so I'll post this now. Stay tuned for more!

SOURCE: Novo Nordisk
June 08, 2009 08:00 ET
NEW ORLEANS, LA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2009) - Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) data presented at
the 69th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association
(ADA) showed that once-daily liraglutide, taken as monotherapy, leads to
statistically significant and sustained reductions in blood sugar and
weight after two years of treatment.
In the study, 58% of patients treated with liraglutide 1.8 mg once daily
reached and maintained the ADA's blood sugar target of A1C less than 7%
versus 37% of patients treated with glimepiride 8 mg once daily.
"The fact that liraglutide continues to effectively lower blood sugar after
two years of treatment is consistent with its other long-term clinical
benefits such as continued reductions in fasting blood sugar and weight,"
said Dr. Alan Garber, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, a LEAD™ 3
principal study investigator. "Even with available treatments, many type 2
diabetes patients still struggle to control their blood sugar, while losing
weight. Liraglutide represents an important advance for these patients."
The LEAD™ 3 extension study also documented that treatment with
liraglutide leads to early and lasting weight loss. Many currently
available diabetes treatments lead to weight gain, a concern for type 2
diabetes patients, most of whom are already overweight. After two years
of treatment with 1.8 mg of liraglutide, mean body weight decreased
significantly (-2.7 kg) compared to overall weight increase in the
glimepiride group (+1.1 kg).
Hypoglycemia is a condition where blood sugar levels become too low. Minor
hypoglycemia was more than six times less frequent in the liraglutide
treatment groups compared with the glimepiride group.
About LEAD™ 3 Extension
The LEAD™ 3 Extension compared the efficacy and safety of liraglutide
(1.8 mg and 1.2 mg, once daily) to glimepiride (8 mg, once daily) in
patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were treated previously with
diet/exercise or low doses of one oral antidiabetic drug (OAD). The trial
had a 52-week randomized, double-blind period followed by the one-year
extension; 59% entered the extension period of the trial and 43% of these
patients completed the full two-year study period.

Safety and tolerability of liraglutide
The rate of minor hypoglycemia was statistically significantly lower with
both liraglutide dose groups compared to the glimepiride-treated group.
The most common gastrointestinal-related adverse events were nausea,
diarrhea and vomiting, and most were transient. Other adverse events
reported included flu-like symptoms.
About LEAD™ (Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes)
The LEAD™ program comprises five randomized, controlled, double-blinded
studies plus one open-label head-to-head study against exenatide and
involved more than 4,000 patients with type 2 diabetes in 40 countries.
About Liraglutide
Once-daily liraglutide is the first human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
analog developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide works
by stimulating the release of insulin only when blood sugar levels are
high. Weight loss with liraglutide is attributed to the fact that it slows
gastric emptying and leads to increased satiety after meals. Liraglutide
is naturally broken down in the body and does not require renal excretion.
On May 23, 2008, Novo Nordisk submitted a New Drug Application to the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., as well as a marketing
authorization application to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), for the
approval of liraglutide for the treatment of people with type 2 diabetes.
A New Drug Application was also submitted for approval in Japan on July 14,
On April 23, 2009, Novo Nordisk announced that the Committee for Medicinal
Products for Human Use (CHMP) under the EMEA adopted a positive opinion,
recommending marketing authorization of liraglutide for treatment of type 2
diabetes in Europe.
In the U.S., a regulatory decision is pending.

Oklahoma Team Arrival Quotes
Friday, December 27, 2013
Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops
"All of us at the University of Oklahoma are excited to be participating this week at the Sugar Bowl, we're excited to be here and ready to go to work. We recognize that we have a great opponent in Alabama, a team that was number one in the country for two or three years now, up until that last play of the game against Auburn so we're very aware of what a great team they are. Coach Saban has done a great job building and coaching their team and they have a bunch of great athletes so it's a big challenge but an exciting challenge as well. I'm really proud of our football team and how we've responded through the year, in particular the second half of the year where the guys have really held it together and played hard and played well together and put us in this position. We're excited about the opportunity to be in New Orleans for the next five or six days."
(On rules and keeping players out of trouble) "These young guys could find trouble if they wanted to just about anywhere. Oklahoma City is a big town right up the road from us and we've seemed to manage that. I trust their character, not just this year-we haven't been a team that has had a lot of trouble so in the end, I trust them like I always do."
(On quarterback indecision) "Well we intend to be unsettled about quarterback all the way up until the game. I wouldn't say it's unsettled I would say that it's purposeful. And let's face it, both those guys in different situations have really done well so we have to have both of them ready to go."
(On conference pride going against an SEC school) "That's something that everybody talks about but in the end how do you have more pride than for your own program? So we have enough to worry about with Oklahoma."
(On senior class leadership) "I expect them to provide great leadership like they have all year. They are a great group of seniors. The captains, seniors and all of these guys are what you really want in a football team. We are excited to go to work and prepare to have a great game."
Oklahoma DB Gabe Ikard
(On curfew negotiations) "I will not reveal the curfew negotiations but that was the easiest negotiation I've ever had with Coach Stoops, he asked me what time I thought we should be in and I told him and he said OK…he realizes we have a lot of senior leadership on this team and we're going to do whatever is best for the team, the main focus is practice obviously and it's not hard to keep these guys out of trouble. We've got a lot of great character guys on this team."
(On being in New Orleans on NYE) "We'll all be in our hotel rooms watching that ball drop don't worry about that."
(On being a team captain and managing curfew) "We'll talk to the team and Coach Stoops gives us a little leniency the first couple of days when we get here, he expects us to be responsible and the players represent the University so we'll all stay out of trouble and that's something he's always done so he makes it clear that if the young guys want that the next bowl game and the bowl game after that, they'll stay out of trouble and do what they need to do to make curfew or else he'll send you on a Greyhound home."
"Coach Stoops is very reasonable in what he lets us do. We're going to be able to have some fun but we need to make sure that everyone knows that we're here for one reason and that's to win a football game. But we'll enjoy New Orleans and as far as I can see we're staying on Bourbon Street so that should be nice and interesting."
(On being more excited now that the team is in New Orleans) "We're very excited to be here, we got a great welcome from these guys and it's our first time in New Orleans, most excited for the game obviously but it should be a great experience all around."
(On the season as a whole) "With a little adversity with injuries and losing some other guys it's been different– with instability with a quarterback , we've had a lot of variables factor into the season. To win 10 games is special to go to the BCS game is special, but you always want to end the year with a win, especially against a great team like Alabama."
(On playing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, NOT the National Championship) "I would have thought we'd be in Pasadena but that's not how it worked out. Obviously, they're a great team, still probably the best in the country except for one crazy play, so we're very excited for the opportunity to see how talented they are and the success they've had in the last five years. We have a lot to prove in this game."
(On quarterback decision) "You see two quarterback systems all over the country and you have two guys that are very talented, but talented in different things. It's not a problem when you have two guys as talented as Blake (Bell) and Trevor (Knight)."
(On keeping the season together after moments where it could have unraveled) "We lost some guys and we had some guys step up and make plays, young guys coming in and playing well, so a lot of things going in to this season but the togetherness of this team is one of those things where you really see some character from people in this program and our coaches have done a great job at putting us in place to succeed and we've really played to our strengths this year especially since we've lost some guys. I just think it's one of those things where we've handled adversity very well and for us to go 10-2 is pretty special."
DB Aaron Colvin
(On what he thinks and knows already about the city of New Orleans) "I heard it's a pretty exciting place but we have some good character guys on this team and you know being a leader that is my job to kind of keep that under control."
(On how much of this is a business trip and how much of this is a reward) "This is a 100% business trip. Yes, it's nice we made it to New Orleans, it's a beautiful city but at the same time we came here to finish business. That's part of why I came back for my senior year to finish business."
(On what he thinks of when he thinks of Alabama) "I think powerhouse. They've been on top for a long time since I've been at Oklahoma they've been one of the top teams."
(On what he sees on film of Alabama) "Yes, they are very disciplined. You see the reason why they win ballgames. But any opponent you play, you cannot be scared of them. They are a good team but so are we."
(On how ready the guys are to get back to work after the Christmas break) "It's all business now. Being able to spend time with your family is great. I love my family and love being in Tulsa but now I am in New Orleans and its almost game time and time to roll."

I posted a message to the freebsd-hardware mailing list, but I may as well post one here. So far this is the only low end SATA controller that provides SATA II through PCI-Express and allows for adequate expansion. Sadly though, this seems to cause kernel panics in BSD. I assume it's because high point uses the marvell chipset and it assumes it's a rocket raid controller. I was wonder on what the status of a generic port of the marvell 8xxxx SATA chipsets to BSD. Linux has a driver, the sata_mv drivers, will there soon be one for BSD?
I'm not sure offhand, but have you perchance tried it under the latest RELENG_7 or even HEAD to see if it works alright using the most recent kernel code available?
If we've got it, that's where it'll be.
I'm using RELENG_7 at the moment, but I have not yet tried to migrate to current. The issue with migrating to current is that I would have to build things from source, and this installation is on a compact flash card. So many rewrites through compilation may pretty much kill the CF. I guess I can specify an alternative build path for the source tree (via prefix) and have it build the packages on the zpool.

Red Sovine
Geb. 17. 7. 1918 in Charleston - West Virginia
Gest. 4. 4. 1980 in Nashville - Tennessee
Record Labels: Decca, MCA, Starday, Nashville, Metro, Chart, Gusto, Bulldog

Erster No. 1 Hit: Giddyup Go (1965)
Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine, der "King Of Trucker Songs And Narrations", begann bei WCHS in Charleston - West Virginia, kam zum WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling und ersetzte zusammen mit seiner Band Hank Williams, als dieser am 3. 6. 1949 die Louisiana Hayride Show in Shreveport verließ. Dort traf Red Sovine auf Webb Pierce, mit dem er ein paar erfolgreiche Duettaufnahmen einspielte. Als Solo-Interpret kam Red Sovine jedoch erst Mitte der 60er Jahre groß heraus, als er mit den Trucker-Stories "Giddyup Go" und "Phantom 309" sich der Truckdriving-Song-Welle anschloss. Auch der Erfolg von "Teddy Bear" geht auf sein Konto. Am 4. April 1980 fiel Red Sovine in Nashville einem Verkehrsunfall zum Opfer."
Woodrow Wilson Sovine was born in Charleston, West Virginia on July 17, 1918. With his head full of red hair, he was destined to receive the most common nickname assigned to carrot tops. His father, Alonzo Sovine, was a steam engineer, specifically on large construction machinery. While still a lucrative profession at the time of his little Woodrow's birth, the spread of gasoline and diesel powered machinery soon resulted in hard times for the Sovine family.
Red's mother, Rebecca West Sovine, played the harmonica and concertina but never pursued music professionally. She taught Red and his siblings many older hymns and 19th Century popular songs. She also shared a love for the early recordings of Jimmie Rodgers and Jimmie Davis.
The young Red was also influenced by his mother's first cousin, Billy Cox. Known as the 'Dixie Songbird,' Cox appeared regularly on Charleston, West Virginia. radio station WOBU (later WCHS) in 1928 and made his first recordings for the Gennett label one year later. Cox became very successful in the early thirties, recording for A.R.C. and Columbia records with his most notable compositions, Sparkling Brown Eyes and Filipino Baby.
Cox often took his young cousin Red to the radio station or to live appearances in the nearby area. With such frequent exposure to music and the behind-the-scenes workings, there was little surprise that Red soon wanted his own guitar. As Red told Douglas B. Green in a 1975 interview, "I was twelve years old when I told my father I wanted a guitar, He said, 'Well, if you'll show me that you really want to learn to play it,' he said, 'I'll buy you one.' So I had a friend of mine that used to come to the house and show me some chords. I learned three chords, and I went and showed my dad, and he bought me a guitar, one of them with the resonator on the front…Paid twelve dollars for it." Red immediately began acting out his own pretend 'radio' shows in the family barn – performing songs, reading the news and commercials, and practicing jokes.
By 1934 or 1935 Red had performed enough pretend shows that he felt ready to become a professional musician. Hooking up with his boyhood friend, Johnnie Bailes, the pair began billing themselves as Smiley and Red, the Singing Sailors. Bailes was from a musical family and already had experience appearing on radio station WCHS in Charleston and performing in churches with his two younger brothers as the Bailes Brothers Hymn Singers. But 'Smiley & Red' focused primarily on Jimmie Rodgers songs and other popular tunes. They performed at church socials, parties, dances and won $15 at a department store-sponsored talent show in Charleston – which they managed to waste in one evening.
The partnership was short-lived, however, when Red's family moved the thirty or so miles upriver to the recently built community of Eleanor, West Virginia. Constructed in 1934, the town of Eleanor was a New Deal homestead community. These communities were constructed by the Federal government to provide housing and subsistence farming land to poor families, along with incentives for rural industrial initiatives that reinvested in the local community.

A budding young comedian from Ripley has earned himself a place in the grand final of a national joke-telling competition at Westminster.
Jack Johnson, six, a year 3 pupil at Swanwick Primary School, impressed enough in the regional heats of the competition to see his joke sent off to the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists which decided that he merited a place in the Voice Box final at Speaker's House, Westminster on Monday, March 17.
The young joker is set to be handed the mammoth task of making a panel of politicians and one of the country's top comedians howl with laughter.
The event will be hosted by Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow while well-renowned funny-man Lee Mack will make up part of the judging panel on the big day.
The joke that earned Jack both huge laughs and a place in the final was as follows:
'There was a mummy balloon, daddy balloon and a baby balloon, they all slept in the same bed. Daddy balloon said, "You'll have to sleep in your own bed now, you're too big.
Baby balloon didn't want to sleep in his own bed so in the middle of the night he went into mummy and daddy's bedroom and tried to get into bed, but he couldn't fit. So he let some air out of his dad, but he still couldn't fit. Then he let some air out of his mum but he still couldn't fit, so he let loads of air out of himself.
In the morning his dad said, "You didn't just let me down, you let your mum down, but most of all you let yourself down!'
Headteacher of Swanwick Primary School Meryl Hannant spoke of her pride that Jack has made it this far: It's an absolutely marvellous opportunity for Jack. He's a bright, confident young boy and we're all incredibly proud of him.
"He bowled us over in the school competition. We were expecting one of the older children to come up with the winning joke, so for Jack to be the one to stand up in front of the whole school and have us all laughing was brilliant.
"Everyone here at Swanwick Primary will be keeping a close eye on the competition cheering on Jack all the way!"

Atta way to pounce Hunter
Atta way to pounce Hunter
2 on, no outs. Predicatable results. That's enough of the garbage, guys.
Did they not get the throwdown memo? It went out two days ago.
That's about right. 7 free base runners and 3 hits. Teams love of our bull pen arms.
Play the chip away game now.
Should have won this one before it got to the 14th. The play of the game was Braud's diving catch of the liner that doubled up Jam at 2nd.
After the subsequent @$$ whooping in the nightcap - even using less experienced arms - it is GUT CHECK time. South Alabama this weekend.
I think some were saying they would be happy with 4-2. At this point, I'd be thrilled with 4-2. Let's get 'em! One at a time.
Maybe if we get embarrassed enough the mommas will stop hanging around the dugout and the daddys will drop the equipment bags.
Hopefully Robe called a practice and told them gloves, bats, and balls need to stay in the locker room. And...since we don't like to get on base, flip-flops are allowed this weekend.
In 2009 and 2012, Robe often used the word soft when describing the team. Its his eloquent way of saying "We are a bunch of fn pu$sies." He has been pretty cranky the last couple of weeks. Those at the DC meeting last week could feel his frustration in the delivery of his discussion. It carried over to the presser that went viral. I predict he is going to start calling this team soft (pu$sies) VERY soon.
Honestly, going into the Tech game, I thought I picked up some unexpected uncertainty and lack of confidence of Robe in his team... I chose to blow it off... That was when he went on the rant about how mid-weeks shouldn't count in the RPI (which doesn't make any sense). Kind of like he saw what was coming... A confident coach wants the challenge - anytime. In 2014, he never downplayed midweek games. Back then, it was "all games are weekend games." Because they all count the same in the RPI which determines at-larges and hosting... Where is that mindset?
I'm wondering how the second game goes last night if we win the first? You have three hits in the first AB in first opportunity and two hits in the second and can't get the guy in. Then you throw out a runner at second in the bottom of the innning but fall behind 3-1 and then 3-2 and hang a breaker that leaves the yard. Robe said in the post game interview that the hitter was the one guy with HR power you worried about in the situation and the pitch was supposed to be a slider that you bury (ball low or in the dirt) and if he swings you're done and if not he's on first. The one thing you can't do is hang it, and Wyatt did just that after throwing great for the whole appearance.
It was a microcosm of the season thus far. We had 3 opportunities to win the game, and just couldn't get it done. I feel badly for Brenn, because he was robbed of a game winner. But the inning prior, the Monica sac bunt (not his fault) should have been a HBP. As the inning pogressed; it would have been bases loaded, no outs. And that's just that inning.
Fast forward an inning, 1st and 2nd no outs, Joe Ks and then the DP. Bottom of the inning, 2 out HR. It's just a weird thing with this team. We're usually right there... and then just plss it away..
I see the lights are on at the stadium. Wonder if they are doind batting practice?

Today at the grocery store I could hear the bell ringer when I got out of my car. It's a big-box type store. I always park a long distance from the entrance. It must have been a half a city block away.
When I got into the atrium, the bell ringing was so loud I wanted to cover my ears. The horrid woman repeated to me "Merry Christmas". I wanted to tell her, I don't approve of the Salvation Army, and I don't like their in-your-face approach. But I couldn't, she kept ringing that damn bell.
I have a 100% hearing loss on left. The right hearing is normal. If you stand to the left of me and speak, I can't tell what you are saying. I passed by her, with her on the left. It really was deafening.
What did she think - people were not contributing because they couldn't hear the damn bell? I had to walk around her to get into the store. It's not like customers didn't know she was there.
Inside the store, I went to the back of the store to find some hardware items. All the way to the back, over the damn Xmas musak, that goddam bell.
The horror! As a customer I wanted to complain to the manager, but it's not like they couldn't hear the stupid bell. I just wanted to get away from it.
On the way out, I had to go through the atrium again. That was so loud! She said "Merry Christmas" again, loud again, and I bowed my head, walked fast past her, and muttered "Jesus Christ, leave me alone!"
I have a 100% hearing loss on one side. The other side is normal. If you stand to the left of me, I can't tell what you are saying. I passed by her with her on the left. It was deafening.
I don't like the Salvation Army anyway. Other than the telling name, they are a religious christian group. As a church, they are not restricted from inquiring about the religious beliefs of their 55,000 employees. I don't give them money. But even if I liked them, that bell was too obnoxious for words.
Views: 974
You could boycott the store...
They wouldn't notice. Now that I've been through that guantlet once, if it's as loud and obnoxious next time, I'll go to the manager and complain. The main competing store has its bellringer outside.
I always think of better things to say or do after the fact.
Or - I could tell them I'm with the Atheist Army, and ask for equal time. Then stand in front playing a kazoo and ask for money to take to the homeless shelter.
LOL I love it. If you do that, please put it up on youtube! :D
Yes, Sentient - that would be awesome. Play your kazoo for the Atheist Army. I bet you would get many smiles. I would donate to your cause.
Has it occurred to anyone here that a loud bell in a closed space amounts to noise pollution? Your reaction to it tells me that, unlike the general white noise which is part and parcel of stores like that, the bell sticks out sonically and can clearly be problematic to those with hearing issues.
Is that enough to go to a lawyer with? Maybe not, but it might be enough to go to a manager with, saying simply, "Can you do something about this, or do I have to consult my attorney?"
It really was bad. My ears hurt. I think it was designed to be an outdoor bell. Thanks for understanding.
This is quite similar to the church bake sales, t-shirt sales, and other religious begging that occurs throughout the year at Wal-Marts, Sam's Club, grocery stores, and Costcos, etc., etc., etc. It's obnoxious as it comes. What I especially detest, is driving through the 4 way stop with people standing in the middle of the street and trying to "guilt" you into giving them money. SCA-REW them!!!
This is one of the hallmarks of religious cults to con people out of $$$. The "guilt trip." Ring a bell and greet everyone that comes by, or offer a brownie at the entrance to a store at an inflated price, because the proceeds will bring Jesus to the African Pygmies, or Amazon headhunters, or some such other nonsense. I wouldn't waste a counterfeit coin on these scam artists.
Also boy scouts. And girl scouts, but the Boy Scouts is bigoted and discriminatory. People don't think of Salvation Army as anything but a charity, when it's really an evangelical religion. Some would say cult, but that's in they eye of the beholder. I always want to confront them, but I'm so confrontation avoidant. They too, are in front of the door, and can't be avoided. They confront everyone who comes into the store. I need to start carrying some sort of cards to pass out, not sure what they would say. "Your organization is... and as a store customer, I resent being confronted by groups which, because of their discriminatory character, are AntiAmerican/" ?
I wonder if they can be considered a crowd control / fire escape hazard. Naaaa.
It really is strange isn't it - the grocery store where I live has a policy against soliciting etc. on the premises. So why does a salvation army bellringer get to solicit on the premises?
We have no big-box stores of any sort within sixty miles of our house.
As far as the Salvation Army bell-ringers go, I have not seen any in the county since I moved here.
You like the rural life? (3,000 people county-wide, half a million head of cattle) We could turn my village into a place from which the atheist community can gather, then conquer the world (muahahahahaha)

In with the Old: Vintage Kitchen Inspiration
A sleek new kitchen with double ovens and double islands may not be a reality for many of us, but anyone from renter to rehabber can achieve a cheery vintage kitchen! Get inspired and check out the 5 simple tips for getting the look.
• Collection inspiration. Old soda bottles, dishes, glassware or fans: try displaying a collection in your kitchen for a touch of history.
• Put a skirt on it. Use fabric to replace cabinet doors or hide the plumbing under the sink. It softens the room and visually breaks up the space.
• Play with color. Whether bold or muted, mixed or monochromatic, a vintage kitchen has a happy, playful color story. Bake shop pastels or brights like turquoise and red are classic combos.
• Don't despair, distress. Let the age of old pieces shine, or make a new item a bit rough around the edges. A mix of woods and hardware just adds to the charm.
• In with the old appliances. Real or reproduction, vintage appliances are the showpieces of a retro kitchen. Not in the market for a Smeg fridge? Get the feel with antique egg beaters, washboards, or other vintage tools.
• New Uses for Vintage Pieces in the Kitchen
• 5 Cool Kitchen Collections
• Retro Kitchenware: Vintage & Newstalgic Finds

Seven more stranded loggerhead sea turtles were delivered to the New England Aquarium Thursday from Massachusetts beaches, bringing the year's tally for the endangered species to 75.
This year, the aquarium has taken in a total of 230 rescued sea turtles, said spokesman Tony LaCasse. An average season, he said, would normally yield 25 to 60 sea turtles.
"The record has already been smashed in terms of total number of turtles this season," LaCasse said. "The real oddity is the sheer number of loggerheads. The previous record for loggerheads was in the teens, and we are now at 75."
Stranding season, which usually begins around mid-
October and ends at the end of December, occurs when inexperienced juvenile sea turtles travel up the East Coast in the spring primarily to feed on crab, then become trapped in Cape Cod Bay, unable to navigate 20 to 25 miles north past the tip of the Cape to swim south for the winter, LaCasse said. The turtles get too cold to move and end up at the mercy of the sea. Some wash up onto beaches where volunteers are looking for them.
"In a normal year, you might have one turtle after Christmas, but to get seven on one day speaks to the fact that the Cape Cod Bay is quite warm still," he said. "The thing that is a bit frightening for us is that those warm-water temperatures make us think we could get even more turtles."
Though the warmer water temperatures may be contributing to the increase in strandings, LaCasse said researchers still don't know for sure.
"While we have this extraordinary event happening, we genuinely don't know what is causing it," he said. "We are flummoxed. We have 10 times the number of loggerheads we would usually have."
The record number of strandings has also increased strain on the staff and resources at the New England Aquarium's Animal Care Center in Quincy, particularly because the large loggerheads take up more space than the smaller Kemp's ridley sea turtles that traditionally make up the bulk of the center's patients.
"We have been so overwhelmed with the number of turtles this season," LaCasse said. "The tank that we can usually put six to eight Kemp's in, we can only put one loggerhead in. So we are moving loggerheads as fast as we can."
Last weekend, the aquarium transported about 40 turtles to facilities in other parts of the country, including six loggerheads flown to Georgia for further rehabilitation.
LaCasse said space created by the departures has since been filled with even more rescued turtles. "We are now back at ground zero, where we are at capacity and are out of space," he said.
Earlier this month, a Coast Guard plane loaded with 35 sea turtles recovering from hypothermia flew to Orlando, the largest transport of rescued turtles in the New England Aquarium's 40-year history.
The turtles, rescued at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, will finish their recovery at several marine animal rescue facilities, including SeaWorld Orlando, LaCasse said.Colin A. Young can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter

All News Releases By Date
Oregon Freeze Dry, Inc. pays over $3,000 for failure to report ammonia release
Release Date: 04/26/2011
Contact Information: Suzanne Powers, EPA Emergency Response Program, (360) 753-9475, email@example.com Tony Brown, EPA Public Affairs, (206) 553-1203, email@example.com
Company will also spend over $19,000 to install additional safety equipment.
(Seattle—April 26, 2011) Oregon Freeze Dry, Inc. will pay the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency $3,323 for its failure to report an estimated 422 pounds of anhydrous ammonia released at their food freeze dryer facility in Albany, Oregon.
In addition to the penalty, the company agrees to spend at least $19,435 to purchase and install an ammonia detection and alarm system and a remote and automatic shutdown valve system that would activate in the event of a release.
On November 22, 2009, the Oregon Freeze Dry facility released approximately 422 pounds of ammonia into the environment at its facility located at 525 25th Avenue SW in Albany, Oregon according to the EPA settlement. The facility is the largest diversified food freeze dryer in the world and uses large quantities of anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant at its facility.
According to Edward Kowalski, Director of EPA's Office of Compliance and Enforcement in Seattle, these cases are about protecting workers, emergency responders and the community.
"When unintended chemical releases occur, every minute counts if it is an emergency," said EPA's Kowalski. "Emergency responders need to be notified promptly to react effectively."
The leak occurred due to an improperly fitted pipe flange causing the release of anhydrous ammonia. EPA alleges that Oregon Freeze Dry failed to immediately notify local and state agencies about the release. While no injuries were reported at the time of the incident, ammonia is a pungent, toxic gas that attacks skin, eyes, throat, and lungs and can cause serious injury or death.
The ammonia release and the failure to notify appropriate agencies are violations of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

Style # 206412
Sheer Floral & Diamond Tights is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lola267 from Good, Basic Tight I purchased these in nude as most of my tights are black and I wanted a different color for contrast. They are warm and a great basic tight; the lace pattern is subtly visible when you wear it. The tan color is also darker than pictured; my skin is olive-toned and it was a shade darker than me. The only drawback to them was that the lace pattern only extended up to the high thigh; the rest was that plain material that is classic of your regular pantyhose. There's nothing wrong with it, I just liked that bebe made their tights with the pattern extending up to the waistband. Otherwise, great product.

Niemann Excited for NDWS
Country music musician Jerrod Niemann is excited about coming to Valley City.
Niemann, whose latest album, "Free The Music," was released in October, is scheduled to appear at the North Dakota Winter Show Friday, March 8.
His performance will be part of Party in the Dirt, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The opening act will be Gwen Sebastian of North Dakota.
Interviewed Wednesday via cell phone from an appearance in Alabama, Niemann said "In North Dakota everyone is so nice."
The native of Liberal, Kansas, said he is looking forward to coming to North Dakota, at least partially because Hawaii and North Dakota were the only two states in the nation he hasn't visited. After his Winter Show appearance, Hawaii will be the sole remaining state.
Niemann said his record label (Sea Gayle/Arista Nashville) told him Fargo, N.D., had more downloads of one of his tunes per capita than any other state in the country.
Niemann said he has visited South Dakota "a number of times," but never crossed its northern border before. "Folks in both states are rural and kind."
A professional musician for 11 years, Niemann said he has only been performing for two years. Before that he just wrote music.
Writing songs is definitely one of Niemann's strong points, and "I wrote everything on my new album."
He now lives in Nashville, but Niemann said Kansas gets snow and cold "although not 50 below," and he feels ready for North Dakota in March.
Niemann's band has eight members, most of whom have been playing together for eight years. "Two of them have been with us for two years. It's a great group of guys. We love working as a team. I am the leader, but I feel we're all equals. We are all there to give people a good time. I hope everyone comes out, and it's a good crowd."
Taking an unconventional approach to the recording process, Niemann and his producer Dave Brainard bucked modern trends and set out to make a record that sounded like nothing else in country today. To do so, they utilized a mix of classic and cutting-edge technology, reinvented instruments, and adhered to a strict set of musical limitations.
Every song on Free The Music features horns, and only acoustic bass is played throughout. Niemann said he wrote all the music for the album because few existing country songs have parts for horns.
"We were trying to develop a specific sound," said Niemann, "and we kept the horns as the centerpiece of the project. Some of country music's greatest songs are based around horns. And the acoustic bass? It doesn't get more country than that."
Brainard said the restrictions laid out on Free The Music spurred a keen sense of creativity in the studio. "There's a philosophy I embrace as a producer that says limitations are style," he shares. "By restricting ourselves to using, say, only acoustic bass, we were assured a unique sound. Those limitations created style."
Also part of new album is the minimal use of the often ubiquitous electric guitar on Free The Music. Instead, Jerrod relied on an acoustic guitar outfitted with a B-Bender―a pulley mechanism attached to the B string that mimics the sound of a steel guitar or Dobro when pressure is applied to the neck.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Allison from Really Cute but shows any imperfection These pants are cute if you have absolutely no imperfections on the back of your legs. I am a size small and I returned these pants because the fabric is very thin.
Date published: 2013-04-22
Rated 3 out of 5 by Batgirl from Cute style but too long! Love these pants, but they are way to long! I'm 5'6" ....If I wanted to wear heels w/these pants they'd be the perfect length but not practical. for working out in. Having said that though, I did buy them anyway bc they were so cute. I'm hoping I can get them hemmed and if not, I'll just wear them for lifting in rather than for running. Also, the fabric is not up to par with the fabrics used in the past. I would not have paid full price for them.
Date published: 2013-04-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by HookedonBebeSport from Love the new fabrication! Yes, the fabrication IS thinner, but for us gals in Texas that is a good thing! I love this new fabrication. I am slender curvy and it is VERY flattering. I have become addicted to Bebe Sport because the cut of their dangerous pant fits me like no other. Perhaps a compromise would be for Bebe to deliver the older and newer fabrications seasonally: new for Spring/Summer and old for Fall/Winter.
Date published: 2013-02-18
Rated 4 out of 5 by coolnessie from Love Bebe Sport I am a avid Bebe Sport shopper. I love the colors and quality. I don't really care for the new fabric they are currently using though. I hope the go back to the way they used to make it.
Date published: 2013-02-10
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cecy from It's nice but not very comfortable and the fit is slight. The fabric is very light and with little adjustment but the model is very nice not feeling very comfortable..
Date published: 2013-02-02
Rated 3 out of 5 by momo from Bring back the old fabric! Nice try but the new fabric doesn't give the same support and compression effect. On top of that it doesn't provide insulation at all for the cold weather since it's made to "cool" you off during workout. I love wearing bebe sport to run errands, can't do that with this new fabric, especially during the winter months, I can't keep warm wearing these!

Blair Seideman, Annie Sullivan and Kim Szokol Join Roster
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's tennis team peaked at a national ranking of No. 24 last season, the best in school history. The Bulldogs look to improve on that ranking this season, and welcome the No. 8 freshman class in the country according to The Tennis Recruiting Network. Yale was the only Ivy League school ranked in the top 20. This is Yale's second straight season with one of the best recruiting classes in the country, as the Bulldogs were ranked No. 14 last year.

The Bulldogs also have two five-star recruits in Annie Sullivan (Deerfield, Ill.) and Kim Szokol (Winnetka, Ill.). Seideman was ranked as the eighth-best recruit in the country. Sullivan was ranked as high as No. 28, and Szokol peaked at No. 43.
The three new Bulldogs join six returnees from a team that finished the season ranked No. 44 in the country after posting a 16-6 record (5-2 Ivy League).

The Sylvan Ruritan Club in Snow Camp recently undertook the task of cleaning a historical rock wall on Sylvan Road. The undertaking was accomplished on Feb. 22, by approximately 40 volunteers representing Ruritan members, Boy Scouts from Troop 11 and interested people in the community. The Sylvan Ruritan Club would like to thank all who had a part in making this project successful.
A special thanks to the Alamance County Sheriff�s Office, which had two deputies on site to maintain traffic control, the Snow Camp Fire Department, which had a truck and firemen on site to ensure the safety of the workers, and Jay Ashley, managing editor of the Times News, who gave the project excellent news coverage.
Kitty Wright submitted this on behalf of the Sylvan Ruritan Club.

I couldn't help but restate my goals for the SSX as an alliance in CN, and relate it to the political situation of today. Namely, I am addressing the Gremlins' treatment of IRON as prisoners. After the end of the recent war, they re-declared on them and stated that they will only accept unconditional surrender. Such behavior is exactly what we all fought against in both of our major wars, and I don't think that it is any more right now that the tables are turned. Read the post if you are interested in politics.

The Glenwood Barrow County High School Alumni Association has rescheduled its strategic planning session for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, at the Winder Community Center. The group, comprised of graduates of the segregation-era Glenwood elementary and high School, is planning a full review of the Barrow County Board of Education over its recent refusal to name the new middle school in Statham in honor of the first principal of the Glenwood school.
Meanwhile, in another new development, a second community-based group has formed and plans to ask the BOE to allow it to use the soon-to-be-vacated middle school in Winder as a services-driven community center.
The concept of the Glenwood Barrow Community Historical and Educational Foundation is to bring together in a single location services currently provided by various non-profit agencies around Winder such as the Boys & Girls Club of Winder-Barrow County.
For the full story, see the Barrow Journal.

Meryl Streep's Golden Globes attack on Donald Trump stirred a lot of emotion, and at least one war — between Meghan McCain and comedian Billy Eichner.
Billy blasted McCain on Twitter after the Fox News host posted a message disparaging Meryl's harsh critique of Donald Trump, calling her a "f****** moron."
Meghan fired back, saying Billy lived in a "bubble" and was part of the problem between Hollywood and the Republican Party. That only made Billy go off again …
Billy's known to speak his mind on his game show, "Billy on the Street," where he stops people at random for pop quiz questions … usually with a celeb in tow. We're guessing Meghan's not a fan.
She never responded after her 2nd tweet, so … score one for Billy?
