Assumptions for PSHF AUC:
- The patient is healthy enough to undergo surgery if indicated.
- A thorough history and physical examination of the patient has been conducted with special attention to the integumentary system, other injuries, neurologic and vascular exam and other medical problems. If the patient is too young or incapable of cooperating, this will be noted in the patient record.
- Adequate radiographs have been obtained and examined by the clinician.
- The surgeon or surgeons who care for this child can perform the appropriate orthopaedic procedures.
- The surgery, when indicated, will be performed in a timely fashion to allow ideal treatment of the fracture with special consideration given to neurovascular status, soft tissue swelling, and family situation.
- The surgeon will perform the surgery in an appropriate location. Some supracondylar humerus fractures patients may require in-hospital monitoring.
- The facility has proper implants, ancillary equipment available, and capable support personnel.
- If a patient has an open fracture, antibiotic administration and appropriate wound care are performed in a timely fashion.
- The patient can be splinted in a position of comfort and monitored adequately while awaiting operating room (OR) availability.
- The fracture occurs in a patient with open physes and is a pediatric pattern that does not require open reduction and dual plating construct (e.g. an adult pattern intercondylar distal humerus fracture).
- Particular care will be taken in children before distal humeral epiphyseal ossification (e.g. newborns, infants, and toddlers) to assess for the possibility of transphyseal or low supracondylar humerus fracture (arthrogram, MRI, etc.).
- Those patients, especially under the age of two, with fracture severity inconsistent with the described mechanism should be assessed for the possibility that this fracture resulted from non-accidental injury.
- Type III fractures and those with significant pain or swelling will be monitored in-hospital by a qualified clinician for changes in neurologic, vascular or pain status until access to the OR is available.
- The facility has the ability to evaluate and treat compartment syndrome emergently. Patient is NPO ready for anesthesia; however, NPO status should not delay patient's surgery if the limb is in jeopardy.
- Direct manipulation at fracture site through an incision or preexisting wound is considered open reduction.
- The open soft tissue envelope refers to the soft tissue associated with the supracondylar humerus fracture and not other associated injuries.
- For closed fractures, open reduction assumes closed measures were tried, and failed.
- For new onset nerve deficit after fracture treatment, the surgeon will reassess the fracture reduction and fixation for possible nerve injury.

Changes in climate, food abundance and disturbance from humans threaten the ability of species to successfully use stopover sites and migrate between non-breeding and breeding areas. To devise successful conservation strategies for migratory species we need to be able to predict how such changes will affect both individuals and populations. Such predictions should ideally be process-based, focusing on the mechanisms through which changes alter individual physiological state and behavior. In this study we use a process-based model to evaluate how Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) foraging on common eelgrass (Zostera marina) at a stopover site (Humboldt Bay, USA), may be affected by changes in sea level, food abundance and disturbance. The model is individual-based, with empirically based parameters, and incorporates the immigration of birds into the site, tidal changes in availability of eelgrass, seasonal and depth-related changes in eelgrass biomass, foraging behavior and energetics of the birds, and their mass- dependent decisions to emigrate. The model is validated by comparing predictions to observations across a range of system properties including the time birds spent foraging, probability of birds emigrating, mean stopover duration, peak bird numbers, rates of mass gain and distribution of birds within the site: all 11 predictions were within 35% of the observed value, and 8 within 20%. The model predicted that the eelgrass within the site could potentially support up to five times as many birds as currently use the site. Future predictions indicated that the rate of mass gain and mean stopover duration were relatively insensitive to sea level rise over the next 100 years, primarily because eelgrass habitat could redistribute shoreward into intertidal mudflats within the site to compensate for higher sea levels. In contrast, the rate of mass gain and mean stopover duration were sensitive to changes in total eelgrass biomass and the percentage of time for which birds were disturbed. We discuss the consequences of these predictions for Black Brant conservation. A wide range of migratory species responses are expected in response to environmental change. Process-based models are potential tools to predict such responses and understand the mechanisms which underpin them.

Three New Objects Extend Hunt for Planet X
The two scientists, Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo, who first recognised the clustering of objects thought to reveal the presence of 'Planet Nine' (1), have announced the discovery of three new objects. All three are highly distant objects (2). Two of them are extended scattered disk objects beyond the traditional Kuiper Belt, and fit reasonably well into the afore-mentioned cluster. The third, perhaps even more amazingly, is an object whose elongated orbit reaches way out into the distant Oort Cloud of comets, but which also never comes closer than the planet Neptune. So, this is the first outer Oort cloud object with a perihelion beyond Neptune, designated 2014 FE72.
Here's how the announcement of these three new objects has been described in a press release from the Carnegie Institution for Science (3), where Scott Sheppard works:
On Proxima b
August 2016 saw the announcement of the discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting our nearest neighbourhood star – the red dwarf Proxima Centauri. The official press release was preceded by a leak to the German media from within the team of astronomers. Here, I tell the story of the rumours of the announcement, and the wider implications of the discovery itself:
Rumours of an Earth-like Planet Orbiting Proxima Centauri
The German magazine Der Spiegel has reported that a major announcement is imminent: there is an Earth-like planet orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri; the Sun's closest stellar neighbour at 4.24 light years distance.
The magazine claims that the discovery was made by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) using the La Silla Observatory's reflecting telescope in Chile, based upon a leak from an astrophysicist who has been working with the La Silla team (1). This alleged discovery is in keeping with the current work being carried out at La Silla, as described in January earlier this year:
"What good news that the Pale Red Dot project is now planning a two-month observing campaign to search for potential Earth-analogs around Proxima Centauri using HARPS, the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher spectrograph at the ESO La Silla 3.6m telescope. Nightly monitoring began on January 18th." (2)
4Mj Dark Star found in Triple Star System
A young 'Dark Star', weighing in at 4 Jupiter masses, is one of only a few such exoplanets to have been directly imaged. It's also a rather curious object for another reason: It's orbiting the main star of a triple star system some 340 light years away, in a dynamical arrangement which lies on the very edge of mathematical possibility (1). HD131399ab is just 16 million years old, and could be classified as an ultra cool sub-brown dwarf rather than a Jovian class gas giant. At this youthful age its temperature is about 600 degrees Celsius, allowing it to be directly imaged in infra-red by SPHERE operated by the European Southern Observatory.
The triple star system is indeed curious. The two minor stars (B and C) orbit the main star A at a distance of about 300 Astronomical Units, all the time twirling around each other at approximately Saturn's distance from the Sun. The newly discovered exoplanet, HD131399ab, also orbits around the main star A in a wide orbit "about twice as large as Pluto's if compared to our solar system, and brings the planet to about one-third of the separation of the stars [B & C] themselves." (2). The massive planet's orbit around its parent star is by far the widest known orbit within a multi-star system.
Early Solar System Catastrophism
The two moons of Mars have always presented planetary scientists with something of a mystery. These tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, whizz around Mars at no great height at all: Phobos whips around the red planet in less than 8 hours, at a height of only 3,700 miles – the closest of any moon to its parent planet. I say 'parent' advisedly because a new theory of the origin of these peculiar little moons suggests that they emerged from a major impact between mars and a dwarf planet. It has generally been assumed that they were captured asteroids, but the relative circularity of their orbits argued against such a capture. Work on the possibility of a catastrophic origin was carried out last year by two separate teams of researchers, after decades of battling intense scepticism within the scientific community (1). An important finding of the modelling at that time was that the resultant debris would circulate around the red planet at a relatively low altitude, which is in keeping with the orbits of the two extant moons.
More recently, further computer modelling of various impact scenarios carried out by one of those teams has narrowed down the range of masses of an impactor to about the size of Pluto. The resultant debris field was initially far more extensive than the two moons left today:

Haystack Latest: The Hunt for Planet Nine Goes On…
Academic papers aimed at further constraining the parameters of the purported 'Planet Nine' body continue to emerge from various quarters, many from researchers with long-term interests in outer solar system anomalies. Fairly quickly after Brown and Batygin's announcement about Planet Nine (1), a paper was published by A. Fienga et al examining the astrometry of Saturn through Cassini's radio ranging data (2). This work served to constrain the possible locations of Planet Nine, which were wide ranging to say the least. This is because if one can establish the very precise positioning of outer planets over time, then this can provide clues to any slight gravitational effect, or perturbation, the planet might be experiencing from an undiscovered distant substantial Planet X body (3). However, given that Planet Nine is thought to have a highly elliptical orbit, then if it is located at the further end of that ellipse, its effect upon the outer planets gravitationally becomes vanishingly small. It turns out then, as one might predict, that we can rule out its current location being in the nearer half of its elliptical path, according to the Cassini data about Saturn. Which is more or less common sense, anyway.

Double Michael: X-Men & Jane Eyre
It really does take a chameleon actor like Michael Fassbender to be in two movies that are polar opposites of each other in regards to audience demographics. One is a comic book anti-hero beloved by nerdy fanboys across the globe, and the other is an 18th century brooding and tormented misunderstood gentleman of olde English tymes loved by period literary female fans across the globe.
Today, we have new information on both X-Men: First Class and a new clip from Jane Eyre. Announced late yesterday, 20th Century Fox created the X-Men Facebook page where they said they would reveal the first trailer of the movie and heavily featuring Michael as Magneto. I can't wait to see it! So go check out the Facebook page of X-Men today and be one of the first to see it.
Secondly, yesterday we saw the second Internet trailer for Jane Eyre. It's shorter than the first one, and it's nearly in shadow as a sexy Mr. Rochester is all up in Jane's personal space, whispering tantalizing words of appreciation and borderline lust. Yeah, bring it!

The Jane Eyre 2006 DVD is my favorite adaptation. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens was spectacular in that version. It would be hard topping that but I'm looking forward to watching the 2011 film nonetheless. :)

I was definitely right about yesterday being a grind after Memorial Day weekend. Throw in the underrated impact of 8 p.m. Orioles games and its been a tough week after the holiday. So as we're all dragging again this morning, enjoy the Coffee Companion, where every weekday morning we recap the local sports headlines.
- The Brewers scored in the first three innings Wednesday night, and a pair of Nelson Cruz home runs couldn't pull the Orioles back in an 8-3 loss in Milwaukee. Cruz has a league-leading 19 home runs.
- The Orioles were connected to Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija by a report in Chicago, but executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette didn't give much indication that those talks were serious. The price would likely be way too high, for my taste, but if nothing else it could mean the Orioles believe they're close. They could also get internal reinforcements in the form of Johan Santana.
- Matt Wieters is going to play catch Friday for the first time since he was put on the disabled list, which should provide a good indication of how the catcher's elbow is doing.
- The Ravens began OTAs on Wednesday, and though media availability isn't until today, we have a story on veteran defensive lineman Chris Canty, who hopes to find his old form this year.
- The World Cup is two weeks away. Take a few minutes and use our primer to get to know the U.S. squad, which features a lot of players who aren't from America.
A lot of free hockey
- The Blackhawks staved off elimination in a 5-4, double-overtime win over Los Angeles last night. The series returns to Los Angeles with the Kings up 3-2. In hockey that wasn't free and I had to pay for, Scores Baltimore Hockey B jumped out to an early lead and cruised to a 6-1 win over the Hornets. Your Blitz blogger is happy with his performance.
- The Pacers held off Miami, 93-90, to send the series back to Miami with the Heat up, 3-2. It's difficult to see the Pacers coming all the way back, but it's good to see them putting up a fight.

My dad who I admire, respect, and love dearly, for my taste, watches too much Fox News. He criticized the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for years. He talked exclusively about its shortcomings. He talked about the 3,000 pages of the Act that none of the members of Congress had read. After listening to him for a while I rebutted him on only one point. I said you could never criticize the ACA's authors' motive—to improve health care coverage for Americans. With my comment, he quickly changed the topic of discussion. During many conversations with him over several years, he never changed the topic as quickly as he did that time. My rebuttal hit home. We can argue over method but it is far more difficult to argue over motive.
Motive is playing a key role in what could be described as political debates right now. The Courts are speculating about President Trump's motive with the Travel Ban and questions whether it involves religious discrimination. Some judges believe it does. In Iowa, the legislature passed a bill that the Governor signed into law that severely limits collective bargaining for public employee health care benefits. The Republicans claim to be concerned with giving public employees more health care choices. I believe that their motive was to seriously dilute the power of public sector unions in Iowa in the same way that has been done in other Republican-governed states.
One of the most beautiful places on Earth, clearly a place "to linger," is Queenstown, New Zealand. The town sits on picturesque Lake Wakatipu surrounded by mountains, appropriately named the "Remarkables". At the harbor, on the fence that surrounds the public area where art shows and farmer markets are held on the weekends, is a sign that reads, "The landscape that we shape shapes us."
To me, these words go back to how motive can shape behavior.The White House and the Congressional Republicans are struggling with and bickering about repealing and replacing the ACA. Yesterday, President Trump said, "I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated." The complexity of health care should not have surprised him. Those of us who have worked on health care reform for many years have known that for a long time. But more importantly, what is the motivation behind their effort? Is it to maintain or increase health care coverage for Americans and their families? Is it to save money? Is it to eliminate the "individual mandate"?
From years of attending meetings, talking with experts, and reading a wide variety of literature, I sadly have not found within the Republican Party, nationally and in Iowa, a genuine, humanitarian desire to increase health care coverage. For that matter, I have witnessed that same attitude among insurance companies regarding health care coverage for individual policyholders. Without the appropriate motivation, I question the results. Going back to Queenstown, New Zealand, I fear for a world that is not shaped to care for all Americans. I fear that shaping such a world will eventually shape us all. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security were created with a motivation to help all Americans. The ACA was created with a similar, positive motivation.
Will TrumpCare have that same motivation?

This is a question that has plagued philosophers and religious gurus for thousands of years.
We hear a lot of people ask, "What if the voice in my mind IS the real me? What if it's telling me the truth? Shouldn't I listen to it sometimes?" The short answer is that while it's ok to listen to it, just don't mistake it for your Authentic Self.
So, what the hell are we talking about when we say Your Authentic Self? We mean this: Your Authentic Self is who shows up when your Inner Critic is temporarily absent. Whooaa…..it's a little scary when you experience this for the first time. We're so used to this voice, that when it is silenced even momentarily, it feels like there's nothing there. But, when you let go, and just be….that's when your authentic self shows up. And, just as soon as you see it, it's gone! You are back to being swallowed by your Inner Critic. You're swallowed because your authentic self is usually buried under the incessant chatter of your Inner Critic, and is usually inaccessible.
While you can meet your authentic self in the absence of the Inner Critic, you can't hold on to it. It's elusive. It's not a permanent state you can achieve. It has many names, many words, many expressions, none of which are the absolute truth. The best you can do is to point to something: a space, a feeling, an energy, a vibration, a stillness, a peace. Whatever its name, it is a sense of being present to something true or honest, that touches you in a way that's different from your normal reality.
Normally, we just get a glimpse of our Authentic Self. Why just a glimpse? Because it is the voice of the Inner Critic that is constantly swallowing us whole. And therefore, the real work, is to build the muscle to separate ourselves from the incessant humming of our mind chatter, and experience what we experience when the Inner Critic is silent. Therein lies the choice; to practice again and again separating yourself from the Inner Critic who presently runs your life, and begin experimenting with that which appears in the absence of that incessantly controlling voice.
Did you ever hear the saying, "When you have one foot in the future, and the other in the past, you piss on the present?" Your Queen Inner Critic will drag you into the past or the future, where insecurities and worries live. She will keep you feeling regretful of the past or worried about the future, but never grounded in the present moment.
This is why the work of Dethroning Your Inner Critic needs to be a daily practice. Once you learn the tools to silence Inner Critic and allow your Authentic Self to show up, you can practice these tools anywhere; at the bus stop, on the train, in the car, while taking a walk.
The present moment is all we have. The past is already over. The future doesn't exist yet. Any time you are in the present moment, you have access to your Authentic Self.

Last Sunday we went to Hogenakkal waterfall. We at 9am on Sunday morning. The journey was through pretty countryside, with the last part through wooded hills.
To get anywhere near the water you have to walk through a touristy "bazaar" of small stalls selling food (including fish from the river) and cheap t-shirts. Then to get near the waterfall itself you get in to a six-foot diameter "coracle": a wide flat boat, just a woven basket, covered with plastic sheets and then painted with black tar-like paint. The "boat-man" has a single small paddle to steer and move the boat. We had to negotiate hard on the price: we got it down by half, to Rs600, but it took 20 minutes.
Then came the exciting part: all of us (4 adults, 5 children) sitting on the floor of this little boat. After just 5 minutes we got out again to get past some shallow water, and climb the rocks up to see our first view of the waterfall itself. The boat-man carried the boat over the rocks and down the steep steps on the other side, on his head.
Then we got back in the boat and paddles near to the waterfall, in fact, underneath the spray of the waterfall. It was beautiful just sitting in the boat, calm and quiet. The boat felt wonderfully small on this big river with the woods going up the sides of the valley and no buildings in site. It didn't matter that there were plenty of other little boats around. No motors. The river was similar to the river in Periyar national park in Kerala , but that was much "better" (or more) organised: we were on a motor boat with a hundred other tourists, including Australians. Also without the deer and birds, but more dramatic scenery.
We got out of the boat a second time on a sand bank in a curve in the river.
And then we headed back. Wet and exhausted.
The river here is the Cauvery and it is very important to both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, for both power generation and drinking water.

Francisco Rodriguez got the last laugh, except for one thing — he didn't laugh. Or smile.
The stern-faced reliever's demeanor was the same following yesterday's game as it always is, fairly glum, despite the fact his perfect eighth inning contributed to a 6-2 Brewers victory that completed a three-game sweep of his former club, the Mets.
Rodriguez was satisfied he redeemed himself after his dismal outing on Saturday, which gave the Citi Field fans all the ammunition they needed to soak their former closer with boos.
But he didn't want to make it a point of contention.
"No, I don't see it that way," Rodriguez said. "I don't even think about that. As long as I get my job done, it doesn't matter. I said it once, I'm gonna say it twice, coming on the road you're gonna get booed, regardless if it's New York, wherever.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't even bother me."
Rodriguez proved that to be true by bouncing back with an efficient performance, which helped the Brewers, first in the National League Central, improve to 76-52 while the Mets fell to 60-66, largely because their bullpen surrendered four runs in two innings as they struggle to replace Rodriguez.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke showed confidence in Rodriguez by going to him with a two-run lead the day after he was hammered.
His confidence was rewarded.
Rodriguez needed just eight pitches to get Angel Pagan and Justin Turner on ground outs, and David Wright on a fly out to center field.
"[Rodriguez] was really good today," Roenicke said. "I saw him this morning, asked how he was physically. I wasn't worried about last night, so I just wanted to know he was OK physically. He was fine, so no hesitation [to bring him in]."
Rodriguez has been solid in the setup role for Milwaukee. He is 3-0 with a 3.26 ERA in 16 appearances since being traded from the Mets in mid-July. He has blown three saves, though, including Saturday's debacle in which he gave up three earned runs in one inning but ended up with the win.
Rodriguez, who lost favor with the Mets faithful last summer when he was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend's father, said he is enjoying his time pitching for the first-place Brewers.
"Extremely happy," Rodriguez said. "I am really fortunate to be on this ballclub, winning and obviously fighting for a playoff spot, which I've been looking for for many years. You got more pressure [in first place], and that makes it more fun."

Working in the construction field has its ups and its downs over the course of the year. Although some of those down periods are out of your control, you can reduce the amount of your slow time by focusing on a concise marketing effort. These ideas will help you get noticed, be more involved in your community, and hopefully increase the amount of bids that you're invited to submit.
It all starts with the value that you're able to bring. What is your core skill? How is it better than any other construction company within your region? Once you know what it is that sets you apart, you've got the ability to be noticed by people who need your skills.
Marketing Ideas for Construction Companies
1. Get the Neighborhood Involved
Whenever you do a job in a neighborhood, make your presence known by going door to door with your business information. Door hangers are a low-cost option, but interacting with the neighborhood on a person-to-person basis will let you get to know people and receive the favor in return. This process starts relationships and can help you grab some more business from an existing job.
2. Make Sure You've Got Signs
Your work testifies to how awesome you are, but how can people know who you are when you're working? A branded sign that's large enough to convey information, yet small enough that it won't be bothersome to the work site, is a simple, yet perfect way to let people know who you are so they can follow-up with you later.
3. Get Your Vehicles Branded
Your vehicles are mobile advertising that is cheap and affordable no matter where your vehicle happens to be. Even if you're just running a family errand, people can see who you are and what you do. Make sure you include your logo and if you can pull it off, a QR code on your vehicle is a creative way to direct even more information to interested parties.
4. Put Your Phone Number On the Back
You'll receive more phone calls when your number is on the back of your vehicles instead of on the side of a vehicle. A driver can't look over during a pass or while in traffic to jot down your number, but they can memorize it or even verbally call it with Bluetooth tech if they're following behind you.
5. Be Transparent
Bids often fail because there isn't a level of transparency to the process and that turns a lot of businesses off. Save this paperwork for after normal working hours because you'll be able to dedicate more time to them and make them more transparent.
6. Network Everywhere
Everywhere you go at any time is a chance to network, so take advantage of that when you need some extra business. Even religious services on Saturday or Sunday are a way to get to know people to determine what construction needs they might have.
7. Join a Local Service Organization
Being part of the local community will always generate attention in some way and this is especially true if you join a local service organization. The Lions and the Kiwanis are often the primary organizations considered, but there are also the Elks and even the Oddfellows who can provide you with additional opportunities and even resources.
8. Have Your Chamber Recommend You
Joining the local Chamber of Commerce isn't good enough. Work with your local Chamber to have them recommend you to others when they are asked about who provides your services. This recommendation will automatically generate the request for a bid in many instances, so building this relationship up is essential.
9. Pay Your Bills With a Card
Maybe the person who opens up the mail needs construction services? Putting your business card in the mail with a check that pays the bills might just be that added push that someone needs to book your company for a job.
10. Don't Be Afraid of the Phone
Phone calls are always a good way to contact people if it is done correctly. Even if you don't have a lead, a simple call can create one with just a couple questions. Ask about their needs, talk about the value you can provide, and then thank them for their time. How hard would it be to call just 10 businesses per day to do this?
11. Stay Away From Voicemail
If you don't talk to someone who has called you, then you're losing that customer. They'll call a competitor who will pick up the phone. Answer the phone whenever possible and if someone gets to your voicemail, send them somewhere else where they can get into instant contact with you, like your website or an email address.
12. Get Local With Google
More people use Google than they use the Yellow Pages to find a business so you need to get yourself armed with local listings and searches. Make sure you've got your contact information online and you're in for every local construction search. Maximize your SEO to get higher rankings.
13. Solicit for Referrals
A lot of construction business comes from referrals that are specifically solicited, which means you've just got to start asking people about what they need and if they'd recommend you. What you're doing is planting a seed in their minds that just might grow and blossom later on down the road.
14. Direct Mail Still Works
Mailing postcards or simple letters to a neighborhood is a cost-effective way to get information directly to the consumer. You can print out 50 pages a week and mail them out to addresses around where you've got a work site, right? This way people can see your advertisement, take a look at your job, and decide on their own how good your work happens to be.
15. Make an Offer People Can't Refuse
A good deal is hard to turn down, so make it hard for you to be turned down. Figure out what people need and then give them a good price that you can live with as well.

I love my Journey!
By augrdjais on Thursday, July 04, 2013I own a 2010 Dodge Journey SXT AWD that has been nothing less than miraculous. I heard a lot of horror stories about the Journey but I got a price I couldn't pass up. The most "unreliable"vehicle now is approaching 100000 miles without any signs of stopping. I have had ZERO problems with it including the brakes. The 3.5 still runs like new and never uses a drop of oil. The A/C still blows Ice Cold and there is absolutely no squeeks or rattles to be heard. The AWD system is excellent, the week I bought it I drove through a nasty blizzard; when traffic came to a standstill, nobody could make it up a very steep hill. I attempted to climb the hill and the Journey kept digging and I was one of four cars to make it to the top (A Subaru, Grand Cherokee, and a Pacifica.) I average 22 mpg which I find acceptable. My new job will require me to do even more driving (60000 a year) and I will probably be buying a new car. The Journey is staying with me as well, I plan on keeping it until it dies. I will be buying a new Durango within the next 6 months. I've had very good luck with Chrysler products and they have won a customer for life.

Very Nice Value
By Cincinnati on Friday, February 21, 2014The Dodge Journey is the best value in it's category. I shopped around, and the amount of features for the $$ was unbeatable with the Journey. The V6 is a phenomenal engine with great power coupled with a smooth 6 speed trans. We don't use the 3rd row often, but it is a fantastic option to have available. I was never a Dodge fan, but I have been impressed with the quality and feel of the Journey. This may seem insignificant, but I like it when i close my car door and the vehicle feels solid. We have had no reliability issues just at 1 year of owennership! I have recommended this vehicle to my friends and family and look forward to purchasing a Durango in the near future.

Great Vehicle
By Newbie Dodge Owner on Wednesday, November 02, 2011I think that this is a great car, a great buy and it gives you a lot of room if you have a big family without looking like you are in a minivan. It has many extra feature to hide things and even in the back you really don't feel cramped. I was pleasantly surprised. I was all set to purchase a Toyota Highlander and the Dodge Journey won me over and was much cheaper.

Sixth Grade
Trinity School's sixth grade is unique—a program designed specifically to support and challenge sixth graders as they adjust to the initial stages of adolescence. Sixth grade functions as a hinge, connecting Lower School to Middle School to ensure a smooth transition, and it features a special space, pace, and curriculum.
Beverlee Smith-Fendt, Trinity sixth grader teacher, observes of Trinity's sixth grade, "Our sixth grade program prepares students well for the next level. This is an important period of time for these students, and we are pleased that we've been able to take the best of both worlds—childhood and adolescence—and create a sixth grade that addresses the emotional and social challenges of our young people as learning and academic expectations continue to move forward. We are thrilled to have sixth grade as the crown for Trinity's Lower School."

The Sequestration Mythby Representative Louie Gohmert
Posted on 2013-02-27
GOHMERT. I appreciate my friend from Georgia hosting this hour
and also yielding. This is a very important topic, and people need to
understand what's going on.
Now, as someone who was totally opposed to the deficit ceiling bill back in July, 1\1/2\ years ago, I told our conference the Democrats and the President are never going to allow the supercommittee to reach an agreement because they want to blame cuts to Medicare on Republicans, when the fact is that ObamaCare cuts $700 billion from Medicare, and it has been and it's starting to be and it's going to get really much worse because of those cuts from ObamaCare.
To ourselves here in the House, over the last 2 years we have cut our own budgets--the Senate hasn't, but we've cut our own budgets here in the House over a 2-year period by over 11 percent, about 11.5 percent. This sequester is going to cut us another 11 percent. We're going to have cut nearly 23 percent of our own budgets. How did we do that? Did we lay off all our staffs and have a big press conference and talk about how terrible it was going to be? No. I know in my office we basically have what you'd call a hiring freeze. If we lost somebody, we haven't replaced them.
Tom Coburn first raised this point in a letter to the Deputy Director of Management for the White House, with all this gloom and doom about all the people that the President's going to have to fire because of the sequestration, because of a cut of about 2 percent of the budget, they're going to be firing all these people or furloughing all these people. At the same time, you can go online, you can order books, and you can see all the Federal jobs that this administration is still offering.
So an easy suggestion is how about instead of firing and furloughing all these people, just hold up on hiring some folks for a while. Across America, people know how to do that in business. Instead of firing everybody that's been with you for years, that's counting on that salary, if you have to cut the budget, the first thing you do is you maybe wait to hire somebody for a bit. That would be more caring-- unless of course this administration is more concerned with showing that they hired somebody instead of just maintaining what they have.
{time} 1640 We will have cut our ownselves here in the House, our own budgets 23 percent, approximately, over a 3-year period. If we can do it and still get the job done, then I feel sure the people in the White House, the people in the executive departments and all those people at the EPA that are trying to shut down our own energy production and put those people out of work, heck, maybe if they just shut down EPA for a little bit and let the States continue, like Texas has, to get their water cleaner and their air cleaner, maybe the jobs would increase. The President could take credit for that just by slowing the amount of regulation this President has been throwing on the American economy.
Another thing we hear today is that the President is now saying that on Friday, after the sequestrations have started and the military is having all these massive layoffs--and actually, the truth be known, after the President will have gotten what he had been hoping and trying to get for years, even as a U.S. Senator, and that is big cuts to the Defense Department--after the Defense Department cuts kick in, then, and only then, is he going to sit down and talk to congressional leaders.
Well, that's not hard to figure out. What a great political ploy, what a great political plan. A year and a half ago, the President and the White House came up with the idea of this massive sequester, and the biggest loser would be the Defense Department. Reluctantly, some people like me said, let's don't do this, let's have other cuts, let's don't let the President's plan, with all his massive cuts to defense and basically 2 percent cuts to other entities, let's don't let that happen. Let's really cut departments, cut things we really don't need.
But we ended up going along with the President's idea for sequester. Then after he gets the cuts to defense that he's been pushing for years and years, going back to his days as a U.S. Senator, he gets to come forward and spend millions and millions of dollars running around on Air Force One condemning Republicans in the House for cutting defense.
[[Page H689]] What a great thing. He cuts defense as he's been wanting to do for years, forces the Republicans to go along with it, and a year and a half later blames the Republicans for cutting defense and says, I wouldn't have done that, but now that defense is cut, now let's talk about restoring some of that money to groups, the Acorn-like groups out there that are going to suffer because they're not going to have money to spend on electing Democrats in the next election if we don't return the sequestered money.
The thing is, it's about $85 billion in cuts from a $3.6-trillion budget--not that we've passed a budget. That's just how much money will likely be spent, approximately. And it doesn't have to be that way.
One of the things that The Wall Street Journal pointed out in an editorial February 19 was they said that Americans need to understand that Mr. Obama is threatening that if he doesn't get what he wants, he's ready to inflict maximum pain on everybody else. He won't force government agencies to shave spending on travel, conferences, excessive pay, and staffing. He won't demand that agencies cut the lowest priority spending, as any half-competent middle manager would do.
Then they go on to talk about things. One of the things we find out today is that the administration has released people charged with felonies and said, look, if you don't restore the money to my agencies that I'm demanding, then I'm going to end up releasing more criminals on the American public. That is incredible. But he knows the mainstream media will give him cover. I hope and pray the American people will not give him cover, that we will demand what we've been telling the American public we were going to do, we made cuts. The cuts will be made. Now let's look for better ways after this to make cuts to other programs that need it.
With that, I yield back to my friend from Georgia.

#302 – Foreveron February 18, 2013 at 12:00 am
Both of my children have given me moments like this. Nothing else matters. Everything is calm. All my troubles are suddenly insignificant. Everything in that moment is perfect.
I just had my first a week ago. You sir are a man of truth and wisdom 🙂
You made me feel all warm and fuzzy 🙂
this is not funny!! >:-( I love it 🙂
Those moments are absolute bliss
* sighs * I can only envy you.
One day, guys… one day…
Yeah, I know the feeling.
Sadly for me, that moment is almost 22 years old. Waiting for the next generation to start.
As an uncle, I've been lucky to have had several moments like this.

Ronda Rousey was her old self Saturday at LAX, after her big date at the Marine Corp Ball.
The only hint she's still struggling with her loss to Holly Holm was an off-handed comment about smiling.
She kept her promise to escort Lance Corporal Jarrod Haschert to the big event in South Carolina.
We got Ronda before the Connor McGregor fight, so no word there. And she had few words about her boss, Dana White, endorsing Donald Trump for President.

You've decided you want to hold a Capital Campaign … Now what? In addition to contacting Disciples Church Extension Fund, a number of questions remain. Knowing the answers is critical to the success of your campaign.
What is your purpose/vision? How does this relate to your ministry as a congregation? Remember, people donate to a vision, not a Capital Campaign.
What is the project? New building construction? Renovation? Debt reduction? Property/building purchase?
Campaign theme
How does the theme reflect your ministry and the project? How will members connect with the theme?
Campaign timing
Because a Capital Campaign can take anywhere from eight to 12 weeks, finding the best place on your church calendar can make a difference.
Campaign goal
In consultation with Disciples Church Extension Fund, your campaign goal is determined by your congregation's fundraising capacity as it relates to the project. To visualize your goal, we will help you set your goal based on the following factors:
- Participating membership
- Average worship attendance
- Offering income
- Number of giving units
A variety of factors unique to your congregation may affect your goal range, including:
- Financial position of your congregation's membership
- Local economy and recent Capital Campaigns
- Perceived needs met by the project
- Congregational conflict
- Campaign leadership
A Disciples Church Extension Fund advisor can help you carefully consider your specific situation and determine your optimal goal range.
In summary, prayerfully connecting the project with your congregation's ministry, determining leadership and your congregation's capacity for raising funds, and deciding on the best time frame in which to conduct the campaign will enhance your chances for success.
To begin the process, we invite your campaign leaders to submit a request form and speak with our campaign advisors.
Contact Disciples Church Extension Fund advisors at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how we can partner with you.

Mark Rutte and 200 Dutch business representatives from the Netherlands visited South Africa in mid-November 2015. The Netherlands Embassy in Pretoria and its innovative Ambassador, Marisa Gerards, had organised a House of the Future in Johannesburg and in Cape Town, with many events that attracted a lot of visitors and much attention in South Africa. Some of it reminded me of the Africa Works conferences that we co-organised with the NABC in 2012 and 2014. Ambassador Gerards had tried to go beyond the 'promoting business' formula and wanted to involve the knowledge sector as well. She succeeded in involving Delft University of Technology and VU University Amsterdam, who sent 15 students from the Netherlands to work with students from South Africa on ideas to solve problems in Johannesburg. The findings were presented to the deputy mayor of Johannesburg in the presence of the Dutch Prime Minister. Five teams presented pitches about coping with the challenges in agrifood, energy, logistics, water and health, and they did so creatively. The logistics team got the prize for the best performance with a suggestion to combine a cycling plan for the city with apps for cyclists.
The Rector of the VU University and I had been invited to enjoy this example of 'CoCreateSA'. Thus, 'knowledge' was added to 'business' and that also meant that we could talk to university leaders currently coping with a lot of turmoil in South Africa's universities. Together with Harry Wels (VU University and ASC Leiden) and the new Rector of the VU University, Vinod Subramanyam, I was privileged to have an informative meeting with the beleaguered Vice Chancellor of North-West University, Prof. Dan Kgwadi. North-West University includes Potschefstroom Campus, which seems to be the only remaining campus in South Africa where Afrikaans is still the language of instruction (the University of Stellenbosch changed to English last month). During a lunch at Union Buildings in Pretoria, hosted by President Zuma, I sat next to Prof. Cheryl de la Rey, Vice Chancellor of the University of Pretoria. Both meetings gave me an opportunity to better understand the anger of many South African students, and the explosive situation in South Africa's universities, which is spreading to other parts of society in ways that may result in a new revolution. And a nasty one if some signs are to be taken seriously.
Statues appear to have become the symbols of the student protest. At the University of Cape Town students successfully campaigned to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes, that was regarded as an insult by many South Africans. "Rhodes Must Fall!". But later, turmoil centred around the higher student fees announced – and later withdrawn – by Zuma's government: "Fees Must Fall". It does not take much for anger on South Africa's campuses to descend into violence, as happened at the University of the Western Cape.
Talking to the Vice Chancellors and others during my visit, it became clear how layered the anger is, and how problematic some of the claims for redress for 'damage done' during Colonialism, Apartheid, and ANC mismanagement are. I can see four layers of anger, which become manifest in different places. The first one is resistance to the 'remains of Apartheid': the white majority of students that is still common in some of the bulwarks of (former?) Afrikaner universities (of which the Potschefstroom campus is an example) and the use of Afrikaans as the language of instruction. This is perceived as an exclusion of 'black' students in South Africa, and 'black' means everyone 'non-white', but often 'white women' also perceive themselves as under-privileged as well and in need of the same policies to fight the 'discriminatory practices' at (some) South African universities. When SANPAD was conceived as the Dutch support programme for research and capacity building in South Africa, its PhD programme (ca 1999-2012) was open to anyone who was not a white male PhD student.
The second layer of anger consists of the fact that many 'black' students still find their professors and other lecturers 'very white', and they feel that 'black empowerment' in South African universities is progressing too slowly. White professors complain that the quality of non-white newcomers is not as good as it should be from an academic perspective (their academic perspective). And within the new 'black' staff there are many from outside South Africa (Zimbabweans, Nigerians, Ghanaians, etc.), compounding a degree of xenophobia among South African ('black') staff and students, even within campuses. The fact that so many of the most successful newcomers are South Africans of 'Indian' origin is also seen as a problem by many. One often hears the complaint that Zulu, Xhosa, and other 'black South Africans' do not want jobs as teachers and professors in South Africa's universities because they can earn much more in government and in 'black empowerment' businesses.
The third element of anger (and particularly in the humanities and social sciences) is that the curriculum used has been copied from US and UK textbooks and experiences, and so does not reflect or address 'African realities' and 'African problems'. Indeed, many South African students do not learn much about the rest of Africa, and some not even about their own country. This has led to a movement called 'Decolonizing the Curriculum'. And our colleagues in the Centre for African Studies of the University of Cape Town have a lot of very useful things to say on this! But in the context of the student protests this 'decolonizing the curriculum' mantra also means resistance against quantitative methods, against scientific rigour, against examination norms, all of which is fed by a reality of relatively bad secondary schools, particularly in relation to mathematics (South Africa scores extremely low in international comparisons). Students who fail tests sometimes blame their results on a conspiracy to teach them things that are irrelevant and that will lead them to fail. Now, some students are also demanding that the ANC speeds up the process of 'decolonizing' 'white privileges' in the economy, and that includes 'getting back our land' Zimbabwe-style ('White Farmers should Fall'; and indeed, many have been killed since 1994). There is an ugly element of reversed racism in some of this.
Finally, the fourth layer of anger goes deeper, and is something that always exists when a social emancipation movement enters universities: students who are the first generation to study, coming from backgrounds where no one did so before. Emancipatory students often come from poor backgrounds where studying requires a relatively high investment for (grand)parents in order for their children to enjoy better life chances, only to see later that many of 'their' graduates do not get proper jobs. Students from a poor, non-intellectual background are often treated badly by privileged intellectuals in key positions in the university system. Sometimes in very insulting, denigrating and even very visible and audible ways; but more often than not in much more subtle ways. They simply 'don't belong' and are made to feel that. From what I hear, this is also the situation in traditionally English-speaking universities in South Africa, like UCT, Rhodes (when will the name go?), and Wits. The stiff upper lip imitations, the harsh and impersonal looks one gets if one is 'different', the indifference in work and person.
Student leaders are now campaigning for completely free, state-paid, education: the abolition of all fees, and much wider access to universities. However, most of South Africa's students still come from an upper- and middle-class background, where paying fees is not a major problem. It is a major problem for (potential) students from poor backgrounds (black AND white). If the 'student movement' succeeds in abolishing fees it will mean that the state can't spend money on the many things in South Africa that are even more urgent. It will mean the impoverishment of universities and it will mean that the students from rich backgrounds will go to private or foreign universities (and many do so already). Wouldn't it be much better for students to campaign for equal access (and a more African curriculum) by increasing subsidy programmes for students from underprivileged backgrounds? And wouldn't it be wise for Europe (including the Netherlands) to contribute to those efforts? CoCreateAccess! Not only in South Africa but in Africa as a whole!

I finally finished book 3 in the hunger games series. I like the fact that Suzanne Collins doesn't pretend that everything goes back to normal. I love that Katniss chose someone in the end. It's a very realistic book – sometimes so much so for my liking. I was sad when Prim died but in the end life needs you to give it a second chance sometimes. Peeta/Gale (read to find out who she picked :p) and Katniss and their two kids was an awesome end. One more thing – More often than not, go with your gut!

The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books—the only bookstore on Alice Island—has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose in the most embarrassing of circumstances. The store itself, it seems, will be next to go.
One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children's section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: "I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things. I love her very much, but I can no longer take care of her." A search for Maya's mother, A. J.'s rare book, and good childcare advice ensues, but it doesn't take long for the locals to notice the transformation of both bookstore and owner, something of particular interest to the lovely yet eccentric Knightley Press sales rep, Amelia Loman, who makes the arduous journey to Alice Island thrice each year to pitch her books to the cranky owner.
"Sometimes books don't find us until the right time."
This was exactly the light read I needed to get me out of my day to day mundane office grind. It tells the story of a small town man in the aftermath of an unfortunate life altering event. He learns to be kind again. He learns to open his broken heart. He heals from his pain. The journey of his recovery was a feel good treat. And of course along the way, there are also sidebar stories of other people with drama and lover woes. The voice of the narrator draws you in for about 5 hours and make you forget this is "just a story". The only part that bothered me about this read was the chapter intro of side stories. I thought they were distracting and even more so in the audiobook format. It was far easier to follow in reading the book. A big plus for me was that the author gave us diverse characters with this one! Yay! This novel was worth the read and definitely a great bookclub pick. I was seriously in a funk and this novel was a pleasant escape from the city life.

Apple's new iPad has a ton of great new features: Retina display, 4G LTE data speeds, and a killer HD camera, just to name a few.
But it's missing one of Apple's most prized features: Siri.
Tim Cook started his keynote Wednesday by talking about Siri and how revolutionary it is. All of Apple's iPhone ads now focus on Siri. It's the company's poster child for iOS.
So why did the new iPad miss out?
(By the way, the new iPad does have voice dictation, which lets you talk to type.)
We have some guesses and will be hunting down the answer over the next few days. But right now we're going to do the lazy thing and ask if you have any ideas or knowledge of the situation. Let us know in the comments or drop us a line here.

As a cat lover, when I visited Tokyo I had to see the famous temple holding hundreds of lucky cat statues. It was quite easy to access from the city and the surrounding area was quaint and full of cat motifs. Supposedly this is where the idea of the lucky cat originated. Legend tells of a cat that guided a lord to safety in this very building during a harsh thunderstorm. There are some competing theories. Some say the lucky cat came from Kyoto or is a creation from a Chinese proverb (source)
Whether it's the legitimate birthplace of the maneki neko or not, Gotokuji Temple is an interesting and serene spot to visit as a tourist. It brings you far away from the hustle and bustle of city life in Tokyo. Gotokuji temple doesn't get anywhere near as much footfall as other famous religious spots in the region such as Meiji Jingu or Sensoji so it's a nice spot to explore this aspect of the culture at your own pace.
The surrounding suburb contains lots of little shops and cafes, many with cat-themed decor. You can easily spend half a day here and get a bite to eat. The streets themselves have plenty of cute cat art. Even electricity polls are decorated with paw prints. I've shared some of my favorite photos from the day in the small gallery below.

My first thoughts after reading the aviation corridor public hearing notice and glancing at the map overlay was that it won't impact me because I don't do much flying. But then reading that it's a rezoning effort by the county raised at least one eyebrow.

Pulse Crop Ascochyta
The disease known as Ascochyta blight can be a serious problem in pulse crops such as chickpea, lentil, and field pea. Ascochyta blight is seed transmitted and can be spread by infected plant residue blown into a field. Ascochyta blight is crop specific, meaning that lentil Ascochyta blight will only infect lentil and not chickpea, field pea, or other pulse crops. The same is true for chickpea and field pea Ascochyta blight. There are similarities in the symptoms of Ascochyta blight on pulse crops, but controlling this disease varies among crop types.
Lentil Ascochyta
Symptoms of Ascochyta on lentils can occur on leaves, pods, and stems as white to tan spots with a darker outside margin. The centers of these lesions can be speckled with the black fruiting bodies which contain spores of the fungus. Infected seed can be discolored with a brownish color. Moist weather is conducive to the development and spread of the disease. Infection levels of 1% or greater are considered high. Ascochyta can cause yield losses of 30-50% in susceptible varieties.
Effective control measures include:
Chickpea Aschochyta
This disease can be devastating in chickpea as it can spread very quickly and can cause significant yield losses. All above ground portions of chickpea plants can be susceptible. Relatively low seed infection levels can cause serious problems in the field. In fact, seed infection levels greater than 0.3% or higher would be considered high. In cases such as this, it would be best to look for new seed. Symptoms on chickpea include the development of dark, sunken lesions which contain rings on the outer margin. Spores are often present in these lesions. Cool, moist weather conditions favor development of this disease. However, spore production can occur under relatively dry conditions providing inoculum for rain splash secondary infections.
The best control measures for chickpea are:
Field Pea Ascochyta
Field pea can be infected by more than one species of the fungus. All above ground portions of pea plants can be susceptible to this disease. Symptoms on peas include the development of purplish black to brown spots or lesions on stems, leaves, and pods. Black spore producing structures may form on these lesions. Pod lesions may become sunken. The fungus can over-winter in seed, infected crop residue, and in the soil. Seed infection levels of 5% or greater would be considered high.
The best control measures are:
The Seed Department currently conducts seed tests for Ascochyta in lentil, field pea, and chickpea. The Ascochyta test is required for labeling of chickpea and lentil seed, and the test results must be on the label. Results of this test are reported as percent infected seed of 500 seed tested. This test is typically completed in 8-10 days and requires varying amounts of seed depending upon the crop. Small seeded types such as lentil require a minimum of ½ lb. of seed while larger seeded types such as chickpea or field pea require a minimum of 1 lb. of seed. Chickpea samples can also be tested for Ascochyta using 1,000 seed if required.

The teams, including Kiwi FC, Central United, Faatoia United FC, Vaitele-Uta, Lupe o le Soaga, Moaula, Adidas SC, Vaimoso SC and Unity FC, attended the presentation ceremony with club management and were selected to receive this gear based on their participation last season.
FIFA's support programme assists with launching, developing and strengthening women's football competitions and leagues in order to give females a pathway to follow in football. Last year, F.F.S applied for the same assistance to put towards the girls youth league.
Special guest Anter Isaac, a FIFA performance consultant from Australia, presented the equipment to representatives from the women's teams and was taken aback by the amount of supplies provided by FIFA's support programme.
"I didn't realise how much there was but I think this is a very good indication of how important FIFA values the Federation and the effort that everyone involved in football in Samoa is putting in", he said.
The teams were supplied with Adidas branded uniforms and equipment to be used for training sessions or official matches.
FIFA and OFC have placed a great emphasis on the development of women's football and Football Federation Samoa has recently established initiatives such as a local Women's Football Development Committee and a four year development plan to push women's football to greater heights within Samoa.
Chairwoman of the Women's Football Development Committee Emily Young spoke about the Committee's objectives.
"We will continue to actively look into ways to promote women's football and provide financial support to implement workshops, programs, courses and training sessions", she said.
The Women's Football Development Committee also consists of Lynette Faaiuaso, Theresa Asiata, Letti Tamasese and Tala Tevita Ripley.
The senior women's teams are now preparing for the 2014-15 season which kicks off on Saturday 1st November, 2014 at the F.F.S football fields in Tuanaimato.

Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser.
The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Set up a directory on the server:
Change to the /usr/aset directory.
mars# cd /usr/aset
Create a rptdir directory.
mars# mkdir rptdir
Change to the rptdir directory, and create a client_rpt directory.
This step creates a client_rpt subdirectory for a client. Repeat this step for each client whose reports you need to collect.
mars# cd rptdir mars# mkdir client_rpt
In the following example, the directory all_reports, and the subdirectories pluto_rpt and neptune_rpt are created.
mars# cd /usr/aset mars# mkdir all_reports mars# cd all_reports mars# mkdir pluto_rpt mars# mkdir neptune_rpt
Add the client_rpt directories to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.
The directories should have read and write options.
For example, the following entries in the dfstab file are shared with read and write permissions.
share -F nfs -o rw=pluto /usr/aset/all_reports/pluto_rpt share -F nfs -o rw=neptune /usr/aset/all_reports/neptune_rpt
Make the resources in the dfstab file available to the clients.
# shareall
On each client, mount the client subdirectory from the server at the mount point, /usr/aset/masters/reports.
# mount server:/usr/aset/client_rpt /usr/aset/masters/reports
Edit the /etc/vfstab file to mount the directory automatically at boot time.
The following sample entry in /etc/vfstab on neptune lists the directory to be mounted from mars, /usr/aset/all_reports/neptune_rpt, and the mount point on neptune, /usr/aset/reports. At boot time, the directories that are listed in vfstab are automatically mounted.
mars:/usr/aset/all_reports/neptune.rpt /usr/aset/reports nfs - yes hard
