Facebook Launches Social Jobs App
Facebook is strengthening their ability to get into the job search and recruiting marketing by launching a new application that aggregates job postings from about 1.7 million jobs that are open in the United States. I believe that the more job resources there are, the better it will be in helping the unemployment problems we have in this country. The Social Jobs App was created through a partnership between Facebook, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the Direct Employers Association and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies.

If only. I've been an admirer of Maupin for many years. It was wonderful to meet him and have it confirmed for me that he's just as nice (and funny and normal) as I'd imagined he would be. Plus, in talking to him I found out that another of my favorite authors, George R. R. Martin, is also a really nice person. Wally Lamb was just the cherry on the cake of the event. I'm sure Ivan Doig would have been just as kind and friendly, but I settled for watching him eat his scrambled eggs a few tables over.....and hoping that no one thought I was creepily staring at him eat his breakfast!
I couldn't wait to start another book, so now I'm reading Dave Eggers' new one, The Circle. The Goldfinch is just too thick and bulky - and because it's a galley, it's in paperback, so even more unwieldy - to read in bed. So, I'm reading the Tartt everywhere but in bed. The Eggers is kind of a commentary about the internet and privacy:
When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world's most powerful internet company, she feels she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users' personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company's modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can't believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

Seen on Broadway: Henry IV , at the Vivian Beaumont, offers the kind of Shakespeare production that we rarely get--thoroughly traditional, vigorously staged, well-spoken, and epic in scale. In Jack O'Brien's muscular staging, the action moves swiftly from palace to bawdy house, from farce to high drama; in scene after scene, crowds emerge from the depths of the Beaumont's wings, carousing drunkenly through London or rushing onto the fields of battle. Adapter Dakin Matthews has melded the ...

Atari is making its own Arcade controller for the iPad
- 3
It seems that Atari wasn't content just partnering up with ThinkGeek's iCade arcade cabinet for iPad. They've let slip the plans for an Atari Arcade joystick product in a link in the description of their Atari's Greatest Hits app, reports Macrumors. Update below.
The app is a collection of a ton of Atari's games, one of which comes bundled with the iCade cabinet, which we reviewed here. The collection is extensive and has been a relatively popular offering on the iTunes App Store, so Atari is looking to cash in themselves with the Atari Arcade "Duo Powered" joystick for iPad. A link in the description of the app seems to have outed the design.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
Unlike the iCade it looks to support both landscape and horizontal orientations and consists of just a base, rather than a full-cabinet setup. It is likely to connect via Bluetooth, like the iCade, rather than a dock connector. It also features only 4 buttons, which makes it fine for Atari games but leaves out others, like Street Fighter, that many of us have been hoping to see iCade-compatible versions of.
I like the looks of it, it feels very '80's arcade'. I'd like to get my hands on one to compare it against the iCade, which I'm still enjoying. There is no pricing or availability information yet, but we'll let you know when there is.
Update: Dvice has a review up and says that the Atari Arcade will be available for $60 in October and that it uses a dock connector, not Bluetooth, meaning that it only supports portrait, not landscape orientations.

Kentucky Derby Party - CANCELLED
Saturday, May 4, 2013
Niobrara Country Club
3:00 p.m.
The Niobrara County Library Foundation invites everyone to a Kentucky Derby Party to be held on Saturday, May 4 at the Niobrara Country Club at 3 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available at the library and from foundation members Leslie Hammond, Pat Bruch, Lisa Pischel, Linda Frye, Kristine Groh and Carol Kilmer. Tickets will not be available the day of the event.
The first Kentucky Derby race occurred in 1875 with close to 10,000 people watching as 15 thoroughbred horses ran what was then a 1.5 mile course. In 1876, the length of the race was changed to 1.25 miles and remains that distance and features three-year-old thoroughbred horses. Today, an average of 150,000 visitors gather in Louisville to watch "the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports."
The Derby Hat Parade takes place inside of Churchill Downs and refers to the sea of stylish and elegant hats worn by women and men alike during the Kentucky Derby. Be sure to wear your stylish hat and take part in a local hat parade. Derby fare will be served and you'll also have a chance to wager on your favorite contender.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will be matched by the Wyoming Public Library Endowment Challenge Program, a 3:1 match in Niobrara County. For more information contact any foundation member.

BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) – The murder trial of two men charged with a 2011 home invasion in Rockland that left a 36-year-old mother of four dead is scheduled to get started.
Opening statements in the trial of 27-year-old Terrell Nicholas and 30-year-old Orlando Kavanaugh are expected Wednesday following the selection of the final juror.
They are both charged in connection with the July 2011 shooting of Tina Gonsalves in her family's apartment.
Prosecutors say Kavanaugh shot Gonsalves during a home invasion while Nicholas waited outside in a rented pickup truck.
An attorney for Nicholas says his client had nothing to do with the shooting. Kavanaugh's lawyer says his client is not guilty.
Prosecutors have not said why Gonsalves' home was targeted.

"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself."
Ronald Reagan

Craig Kilborn
"Deficit reduction is not an end in itself. It is the means to an end, ... Canadians must now decide what kind of country they want to build with the hard-won dividend."
Jean Chretien
"The problems seem so easy out there on the stump. Deficits shrink with a rhetorical flourish."
Hugh Sidey
"I never have voted for a pay increase for me, and with such a huge federal deficit, I don't think it's right to vote for a pay increase for yourself ... My salary is greater than most of the people in my congressional district, and there is no way I can vote for a pay raise when many of them are just getting by."
Lincoln Davis
"There's not a lot of relief in sight. I would not be surprised to see the monthly deficit go above $60 billion by fall, and stay there."

The experience of working the mechanized farms of California's Imperial Valley is realized with quiet emotion and elegant aesthetics in "El Field."
The experience of working the mechanized farms of California's Imperial Valley is realized with quiet emotion and elegant aesthetics in "El Field." Filmmakers Daniel Rosas (director, co-writer, d.p., co-editor), Alejandro Rosas (producer, co-writer) and Derrick Sparrow (co-writer, co-editor, sound) rigorously bypass the loaded political material of California farm workers and labor exploitation for a more interesting perspective, embedding audiences with the workers themselves. Fest programmers and critics keen on creative documaking will boost the pic's profile, and art-oriented tube buyers should reap harvests.
The refined, observational filmmaking of Nikolaus Geyrhalter ("Our Daily Bread") and James Benning ("Ruhr") clearly exerts a strong and effective influence here, as the camera offers a distanced view of the harvester machines, the endlessly flat fields and the various transit spots where workers must venture. Extended opening section, set unexpectedly at night, captures what it's like to work on a massive, slow-moving harvester gathering up handpicked crops. This same process is repeated during the day, but the sequence is framed and edited differently, from the ground up, rather than from the harvester's Olympian perspective. The final effect, however, is the same: Standardized agricultural production is fundamentally a factory, only one that's outdoors and in constant slow motion. The field sequences are punctuated with episodes — similarly observed from a distance, with faint snippets of mostly Spanish-language dialogue and chat heard from unidentified workers — set in the streets of Mexicali and Calexico, two Imperial Valley burgs that straddle the U.S.-Mexico border. As labor continually flows north and south between these two checkpoints, the fascinating effect of the steady transit (sometimes viewed from the street, sometimes inside buses) is to dislocate the viewer, cleverly blurring the border via cinematic means. Rosas' precisely composed camerawork is panoramic and vivid, providing a solid base for the rest of the film, with Sparrow's complex sound mix rounding out this calm depiction of hard, sweaty work. Long-held shots prove a wise choice by editors Rosas and Sparrow, permitting auds to take in the details and rhythmic routines of the harvest. Spanglish title (complete with period) is the commonly used term for the Imperial Valley locales.El Field.
A Bodega/Espacio Creativo presentation. Produced by Alejandro Davila. Co-producer, Derrick Sparrow. Directed by Daniel Rosas. Written by Alejandro Davila, Rosas, Derrick Sparrow.
Camera (color, DV), Rosas; editors, Rosas, Sparrow; music, Adrian Pereda, Isabella Guajardo, Eduardo Manzanares; sound (stereo), Sparrow. Reviewed at Morelia Film Festival (competing), Oct. 29, 2011. Running time: 85 MIN.

Posted August 21, 2009 Hi, all. I decided to join this forum because I can discuss one of my favorite topics, ballet! I used to study ballet and when I was a little girl I wanted to be a ballerina, but somehow I ended up in the academic world instead, but my passion for ballet has never withered, but now I enjoy it as an expectator. Despite loving ballet, I haven't seen much live ballet since I'm on a country where the interest in ballet is really low. Though I did once see Yulia Makhalina when she came here. Most of my ballet watching is done through DVDs and that's also because I love watching the greats like Galina Ulanova and Margot Fonteyn. I'm afraid I'm just too young to have been able to see them perform on stage. My other interests besides ballet are philosophy, literature, movies, and video games. I've read the forums before as a guest and the people here seem pretty inteligent and nice, so it'll be pretty awesome to see what they have to say about a difficult yet beautiful artistic endeavor such as ballet. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2009 Welcome to Ballet Talk. Ballet fan; we're glad to have you with us. We all share your love of ballet, and depending on where we live we see ballet either live or recorded; both are thrilling. We hope you'll share in our discussions, and we hope you'll enjoy all the aspects of ballet the board has to offer. Giannina Share this post Link to post

REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, the new band led by former STRATOVARIUS mastermind Timo Tolkki, has issued the following statement:
"We are forced to postpone our [South American] tour due to lack of professionalism and responsibility of the promoter. They approached us with an offer for the tour in June, which we were very happy about. When the time came to start fulfilling the contractual obligations, it became evident that this promoter was incompetent and could not be trusted. "We are very sorry about this and we tried to book the tour with the new promoter Eric De Haas of Dynamo Productions, but due to his obligations with NIGHTWISH's South American tour, he did not have enough time to finalize the touring arrangements. "We have full confidence in Eric De Haas, who was responsible for the first three South American tours for STRATOVARIUS. The tour is currently being booked in correspondence with the new album release." REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE has launched its official web site at this location. Included on the site are individual video interviews with the RR bandmembers — keyboardist Mike Khalilov, drummer Bruno Agra (ex-AQUARIA), singer Gus Monsanto (ex-ADAGIO) and bassist Justin Biggs (DESCEND). REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE recently signed a four-album deal with JVC Victor in Japan for the territories of Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, India, Mongolia, Indonesia, East Timor, Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma and Singapore. JVC Victor has released all STRATOVARIUS records in Japan since 1992. "New Era", the debut album from REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, is described in a press release as "a masterpiece of melodic power metal, taking the listener straight back to the 'Visions'-era STRATOVARIUS. In fact, 'New Era' is the album that was meant to be the next STRATOVARIUS album." Guest musicians on the CD include Michael Kiske (vocals; HELLOWEEN), Tobias Sammet (vocals; EDGUY, AVANTASIA), Pasi Rantanen (vocals; THUNDERSTONE), Mirka Rantanen (drums; THUNDERSTONE) and Pasi Heikkilä (bass; 45 DEGREE WOMAN).REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE: South American Tour Postponed

Soul Colors
Halloween was warm, extremely windy, and perfectly spooky. The photo above is of one of my favorite houses on the island. During the day it glows a warm, cheerful yellow, but last night it looked about as creepy as a house can look, especially since its owners have packed up and left the island for the winter.
For me, this weekend has been all about color:
the ocean, marshes, the harvest,
and the passing of flowers and leaves.
The rugosa rose bushes turn the most vivid gold;
they almost appear to be on fire against the backdrop of the grey waves.
The salt marshes, too, burn russet and gold.
The tree above is one of my favorites on the island.
The last brown-eyed Susan in my neighbor's garden,
I have been collecting sea glass compulsively.
Here are a couple of jars of these beach gems
A dried hydrangea blossom I found on the road.
As the last rays of the sun hit its translucent petals,
Then I glanced over my shoulder,
and the moon and clouds and rugosas
The whole world swam in these colors.

With such a sharp eye for beauty at every turn, around every corner, in every tree and every leaf in the tree and in every moon moon with enrobing clouds and in every flower and every petal on it. And in so much more, too!

Bean to Bar Basics: Getting to the Heart of Chocolate
February 11th, 2015
A chocolate revolution comes to Tokyo, and it couldn't be any sweeter. By Sarah Custen Bean-to-bar chocolate is the new standard for cacao aficionados and chocoholics alike. This single origin sensation has already become as commonplace in the US as high-end coffee shops and specialty grocery stores. Now it's making its way to Japan, one …

Fingerprint / biometric safes - any experiences / recommendations ?
Well, after some more research I ended up getting a Stack-On small safe (box, really) with keypad and key backup. It was cheap ($44 after tax at Wallys), very sturdy, allows for an 8 digit combo so brute forcing the password is not practically possible. I can fit a gun, two magazines, speedloader and 3 50rd boxes of ammo in it (at least the white cubes of Federal, some other boxes may take up more space). It does have bottom holes so it can be screwed to some unmoveable object, but at this point I am concerned with kids, not thieves. About the only thing I don't like is that the keypad is not lighted, however it is a standard phone layout so I can dial the combo in complete darkness, just need to work on speed.
Hey would you please post a link to that safe/box you have? I'm sure some of the members may want to take a look at it. and I know I would, not that I have an children at home any more, but it sounds like a pretty good idea, and I would like to see it.
Here's the link to that safe on Amazon.
Wallmart carries it under "Winchester" brand but somewhere on the box it says "Stack-On". Price is about the same.
EDIT: Fixed link
Thanks for the fix to the link. I don't have children or grand children so I'm not that concerned about where my weapons are at any one time. Hardly any visitors that I don't know and all adults, but still it seems like a good idea to have one, and apparently it appears to the reviewers that it will hold more than one weapon. Wouldn't hurt just to have a couple around the house and one for my wife's jewelery or for important papers.

President Makes Commitment to College Access
Statement of U.S. PIRG Higher Education Associate Ethan Senack on the President's speech on higher education:
"Earlier today, the President unveiled a new plan to "shake up" the American higher education system with the goal of lowering costs and increasing access to college.
"With student debt reaching an all-time high, young people are trapped between needing a college degree and burying themselves in debt to earn it.
"Students are the future of this country and it is critical that we set them up for success. Today, the president made a serious commitment to increasing access to higher education, and that is a major step in the right direction.
"We support President Obama's call for the Department of Education to ramp up their education and outreach efforts to students struggling with debt post-graduation, as well as the extension of income-based repayment options to all students. High student debt harms the economy, making it harder for graduates to start a family, buy a house, or launch a business.
"Other proposals in the speech could give students and their parents more options and better information. Technology is opening new doors, allowing students the option of using novel, breakthrough methods of education that could make a quality education more affordable. At the same time, increasing access to user-friendly data regarding graduation rates and average debt gives families the opportunity to get the most bang for their buck.
"We applaud the President for setting out an ambitious agenda for higher education reform – students need all of our leaders to commit to lowering costs and increasing access to higher education."

"The inspiration for this piece came from within. I saw it in a vision. I suppose you could also say it's my subconscious viewpoint on on life, mankind, nature and our current economic situation. Fate later connected me with Peter Oszmann and his succinct poem, it was like our work was destined for eachother's" – Carrie Glenn
"A Fish Out Of Water"
Poem by Peter. J. Oszmann
Nature is wise, but Mankind… just bumbling fools.
Learn from the living, watch water in motion,
Don't waste your time staring at small stagnant pools.
Fish are content to live their life in water,
Water is after all their life's element.
There's no need for them to be an "achiever,"
Living, staying alive… that's accomplishment.
But there was one fish wanting something "better",
He wanted "achievement," he wanted a "first."
He leapt out of water, fins in quick flutter,
Taking fast to the sky… but soon died of thirst…
Peter. J. Oszmann © 2003

Things have slowed down since, with just a dozen Minor Leaguers taken in each of the past two drafts. Will the 2006 draft continue the "down-sizing" or is a return to the robust days of the recent past in order? "I think it's going to be an anti-climactic ending to the Winter Meetings," said Tampa Bay Devil Rays scouting director R.J. Harrison. "I don't think there's going to be a lot of action." Based on record, the Devil Rays would have the No. 1 pick in the draft on Thursday morning, but it seems unlikely they will be as active during the Major League phase as they have over the past few years. To be able to make a pick, an organization needs to have room on the 40-man roster. The Rays are currently at 40, so they would have to take someone off to make room, something Harrison doesn't think will happen. We used to be pretty active in the Rule 5, but I don't see it," Harrison said. "I can't imagine looking at the list and looking at the names...with the new rules, there's not a lot of intrigue there for me." It's those new rules -- as established by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement signed recently -- that has really shrunken the pool of eligible players. The new CBA changes when a player becomes eligible for the Rule 5 Draft. Under the old agreement, a player signed at age 19 or older had to be put on the 40-man roster three years after signing or risk losing them in the December Rule 5 Draft. It was four years for signees 18 and younger. In the new CBA, everyone gets an extra year. By next year, the system will have caught up and the eligible player pool should be back to where it usually is. But in this one-year lag, almost every player who would've been eligible for the draft (or, conversely, protection on the 40-man roster) now won't be until 2007. "I don't think we would've been real active unless there was someone we couldn't pass up," Harrison said. "We don't need to go out and get someone else's marginal prospects.It's a less viable or attractive pool to try to get a guy out of." Harrison isn't alone in his thinking. Royals scouting director Daric Ladnier is in the same boat with the No. 2 pick and his roster full at No. 40 (The teams with the top four picks are all at 40 -- see box). The Royals haven't hesitated to pull the trigger in past drafts, taking Fabio Castro No. 1 last year and trading him and selecting Andy Sisco the year before. This year, though Ladnier wouldn't completely rule it out, it appears Kansas City will merely be spectators during the Major League phase. Like Harrison, he can't imagine too many people wading into this year's shallow pool.
"Right now, there aren't a lot of names out there that would make you want to risk releasing a player to take," Ladnier said about having to make a roster move to make room for a Rule 5 selection. "The Major League phase may be one of the shortest in the history of the draft. "The pool changed because of the new rules. That's what it all comes down to. It's the same talent pool as last year. The ones we liked were the ones who were drafted. There are some intriguing names, but there aren't a lot that are sticking out." The change in eligibility rules hasn't affected preparation too much. Most organizations still ask for recommendations from all of their pro scouts, who go over the lists and send in reports on players they've seen over the course of the year. Then the organization compiles all the notes and comes up with a plan. When the new CBA came across, the only thing that happened is that a large segment of players were crossed off the list, shelved for another year. The changes have had a greater impact on the other side of that coin, however. Each year, teams have to struggle with which Minor Leaguers to protect and which to risk exposing to the Rule 5 draft. Invariably, at least a few good players are available or if they're protected, other decent prospects are taken off the 40-man to make room for them. Either way, there are almost always some names that jump off the list of eligible players. Not so this go-round. Every team bought an extra year, so teams with deep farm systems -- like the Rays -- can breathe a sigh of relief at least until 2007. For example, Tampa got to delay decisions involving guys like Fernando Perez, who turned heads in the AFL this year, and Andrew Sonnanstine, who had an excellent year in Double-A. Both would've had to be protected now in the past. "Going into this thing, we figured we'd have some tough decisions to make," Harrison said. "Everyone is in the same boat. Everyone had two to three guys who would've forced them to make tough decisions and then pushed some more attrative guys onto Triple-A rosters." This may make for an uneventful Major League phase of the draft, but the Minor League phases should be similar to those in years past. Besides, given the choice, as much as guys like Harrison would love a lengthy Major League phase, they're happily trading it in for the cushion of that extra year. "I'd rather have the extra year with our guys than have it the way it used to be," Harrison said. "I think it's an advantage. It's not as much fun for me as a baseball fan, but having those guys for an extra year, it's better from the development side." Jonathan Mayo is a reporter for MLB.com.

Earlier this year, The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky asked more than 1,600 Kentuckians a simple question: What do you think is the most pressing healthcare issue for our citizens? The answer given most often was a word no one wants to hear: Cancer.
There's good reason why it's the top health concern, because in the Commonwealth it's the leading cause of death among women and a close second behind heart disease in men. Unfortunately, it's also more prevalent here than in other states.

I'm Thankful For Change
Today (Nov 22) seems like a good day to start blogging again. Not because it's Thanksgiving, but because once again my life is on the edge of a big change.
I started this blog in 2009 because my life was heaving with change. I was leaving the life and journalism career I'd built in South Florida to get an MBA at the University of Virginia. It was nothing I'd ever planned for myself and I didn't know what to expect.
I started the blog to keep my friends and family up to date on my new life. But it soon morphed into a way for me to process all the new things I learned and new experiences I had. I was lucky enough to be chosen as an official blogger for my MBA class, and soon my classmates were part of the blog, telling me that often I was writing what they were thinking and feeling. I felt like a voice for my Darden community and I liked that. (Check out the current crop of Darden student bloggers here.)
Then I graduated. And I pretty much stopped writing altogether.
I had lots of excuses — new city, new job, wedding planning, blah, blah, blah. The truth was I felt out of my element writing about the working world, especially the corporate world. What was OK to say? Would I get in trouble? I went from feeling like I owned my experience to feeling as if I didn't really own anything. I experienced all kinds of interesting things — developing a new product, working for six different managers in my first year, living through a massive layoff and restructuring, not to mention ice fishing, learning to road bike and getting married — but I wasn't sure how or if I should write about them.
It was a frustrating 15 months. I missed writing, I missed sharing what I learned and I missed connecting with others who experienced the same things. I felt more isolated than I expected. So I've decided to start blogging again.
The impetus was change. My husband and I are moving from Minneapolis (aka the Frozen Tundra) to Los Angeles in January for his job. I'll be going from a typical corporate desk job to working from home and traveling occasionally to visit customers. There will be lots of new and I've learned writing is the best way for me to embrace that. Striking the right balance between sharing my experience and protecting my company won't always be easy, but I've discovered it's worth trying.
So this Thanksgiving I'm thankful for change, second chances and any readers who are still hanging on with me. Here's to getting back on the horse.

Diabetic Foot Care
Our team of specialists and staff believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well being. For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics.

As always, you can contact our office to answer any questions or concerns.
Diabetics are more prone to various foot problems than those without diabetes due to the development of painful nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can affect your entire body, but most often the legs and feet are the most prone areas to serious health complications.
The damage to your nerves can cause the loss of feeling in your feet, making it difficult to detect extreme temperatures and pain as easily, or readily, as someone who does not have diabetes. As a result, you could sustain a serious cut or wound and not even notice your foot is injured until an infection begins. Many diabetic foot problems can be prevented in some measure with improved blood sugar control and a strengthened immune system.
If you are among one of the millions of people in the United States with diabetes, it is important to visit your podiatrist for regular foot examinations in order to maintain healthy feet and a strong body.
Examine your Feet Daily
Careful inspection of your feet on a regular basis is one of the easiest, least expensive and most effective measures for preventing foot complications. By examining your feet daily, and after every injury, you are taking a crucial step to preventing serious foot problems. Noticeable changes, such as temperature, skin color, pain, or swelling may be warning signs for poor circulation or loss of sensation that could potentially lead to something more serious.
Annual examinations by your podiatrist are also vital for anyone with diabetes. A podiatrist can provide a more thorough exam and detect any signs of changes, such as broken skin or ulcers that can be detrimental to the health of your feet and body. Your podiatrist can also check for areas of high pressure or loss of blood circulation.
Clean Your Feet
With diabetes, it is important to keep your feet clean. Wash your feet daily with warm water and mild soap. After washing, make sure you dry your feet thoroughly, especially in-between the toes. You may also apply non-irritating moisturizer to prevent cracks and to keep your feet smooth.
Be sure to also avoid ingrown toenails, which can get infected, by keeping them trimmed neatly. If you are unable to cut your toenails safely, ask your podiatrist for professional assistance. And never attempt to cut your own bunions or corns as this can lead to infection, as well. Instead, remember to visit your podiatrist for safe and pain free removal.
To further protect your feet from harm, be sure to:
- Avoid smoking, as it reduces blood flow to your feet
- Buy comfortable shoes that are not too tight or too loose
- Wear clean, dry socks and change them everyday
- Never walk barefoot in order to protect your feet from harmful objects
Diabetes is serious, especially when your feet are involved. Early detection and simple care are just a few things that can be done to control and prevent complications as they arise.
Your podiatrist plays a critical role in the prevention and management of complications of the foot in diabetics. Talk to your podiatrist today to see what you can do now to keep your feet safe, strong, and healthy.

Reducing the Impact of Stormwater Challenges
Acting Assistant Administrator for the EPA Office of Water
Stormwater pollution is a dilemma all across the country – even in beautiful mountain towns like Aspen, Colorado. Pollutants such as oils, fertilizer, and sediment from the steep mountains that tower over the town, can be carried via stormwater and snowmelt and deposited into waterways like the Roaring Fork River. This has a huge impact on the ecosystem.
Last month, I toured the Jennie Adair wetlands, a bio-engineered detention area designed to passively treat stormwater runoff in Aspen. I saw firsthand how the city is working to deal with its stormwater challenges. Before this project, stormwater did not drain to a water treatment facility. It used to flow directly into the Roaring Fork River and other water bodies within the city limits, having significant impacts on the water quality.

A great view of the current Congress
So it's the GOP's fault there are no jobs.
Quite the interesting spin considering its the President who promised more jobs and lower unemployment.
So its the president's fault there are no jobs.
Quite interesting spin considering its the House and Senate who refuse to pass any bills.
As the tagline says:
"Keeping Millions unemployed to put one man out of work"
It's ok though. Lets vote another 30 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
And the President had both houses of Congress his first two years. Everything he wanted got passed.
Yet unemployment kept going up. The number of folks on govt assistance went up. The number of folks losing their homes went up. The number of people dropping out of the work force went up.
And that was in spite of his promises otherwise.
Must have been Bush's fault.
The job picture has slowly gotten better since the Republicans took the House.
I am not contending a correlation, just noting it and it is probably something Romney should bring up in the debate and start hammering away on.

One of the 1960s' most notorious plays, Dutchman, by Amiri Baraka (or, as he was then known, LeRoi Jones), was recently revived in a conversation-provoking production at Hartford Stage, in Connecticut. Some of the conversation, much of it held at post-performance forums, focused on the play's incendiary vision of a predatory white woman's violent encounter with an innocent black man in a New York subway. But people were also talking about Scott Bradley's inventive set design, which provided ...

Someone gave my son an old-fashioned yo-yo. (As soon as I figure out who it was, I'm going to hurt them. Or at least ask them to spackle the new dents in my walls.) But a yo-yo doll has nothing to do with yo-yos — it's actually a classic quilter's doll made out of remnants, and it's a baby favorite for generations.
Easily the most beloved yo-yo dolls come from Jenny Krauss and now she's making all-natural, Fair Trade, slightly muted organic cotton yo-yo dolls as an alternative to the originals.
Jenny spent several years getting this soft, 100% earth-and human-friendly version of her quilters' dolls to market in an affordable way, and they're totally worth the wait. Choose from elephant, puppy or bear doll, all made by a fair trade group in India. Or, if you've got an older kid, don't forget to check out the yo-yo doll kits for some blissful quiet time. Which is something you don't get from the other kind of yo-yo. -Mir

Nine fine harps.
Blues Harmonica set consisting of Seydel's top-level instrument, the model 1847 CLASSIC. Features a wooden comb and Seydel's best components. Comes with a soft case that accommodates up to 14 harmonicas. Nine harmonicas are included in this set in the following keys: LD, LF, C, D, F, Eb, G, A, Bb.
The 1847 is the first serial-produced Richter-diatonic harmonica with stainless steel reeds. It is a full and loud harp that is rich in overtones and has an extremely fast tone response due to the stainless steel reeds. They feature very long durability, even with heavy duty playing, again thanks to its stainless steel reeds and stainless steel rivets. You will experience less air-loss due to fine-cut reedplates, optimized flatness and extremely small tolerances between the reeds and the reedplates.
It is beard- and lip-friendly thanks to its rounded coverplates and ergonomic hole openings and rounded dividers. The covers are made of extra strong stainless steel sheets (0.4mm) that are opened wide at the back and crimped, improving their stability. The 1847 is moisture-proof, and feature a swelling-free maple-comb that is sealed with multiple layers of food-grade finish.
The 1847 is the result of Seydel's 160-year of experience in manufacturing high-quality harmonicas.
Great selection of the best Seydel makes. Order today.

Julie J.wrote a review of Aerial7 Chopper Heaphones on December 13, 2011
Good for price
The head band groans and squeaks when I put it over my head; this worries me. I wish there was more give in the movement. These headphones are clearly designed for easy play, not packing away into a bag or wear during athletic activity.
I also noticed that if I were to have the volume up past half, then my neighbors can hear it. I hate to annoy anyone within ear shot, so I wont be using these headphones while using public transportation. At least they were less than $30
that price alone (okay, and the rad style) these headphones are great.

Duray Wins 2nd Annual King Pin Clash
Duray Takes King Pin Clash, Strand, Bjerken, & Guyot Also Take Victories
By Mike Spieker
All The Dirt Racing News
ADA, MN (July 11)- After taking a week off for Independence Day, Norman County Raceway's Thursday Night Thunder was back in action with the 2nd annual King Pin Street Stock Clash, presented by The Bowler of Fargo and RDO. A solid field of 63 cars were signed in the pits for night six of the WISSOTA Amsoil Dirt Track Series at NCR.
The WISSOTA Mod Four feature saw Jim Erdmann of Horace, ND and Bryce Bjerken of Felton, MN on the front row of the 15 lap event. Bjerken grabbed the whole shot in turn one and pulled away, but with 10 to go Erdmann found some grip on the low side and was closing in. He peaked to the inside of Bjerken in turn two with nine to go, but Bjerken held the momentum on the high side and held off Erdmann's charge. The race was far from over after that as the 2012 NCR Mod Four track champion, Rob VanMil, moved past Erdmann
for second with five to go and set his sights on Bjerken, who was looking for his first ever victory at the 3/8th mile track. VanMil pulled right up to the rear bumper of Bjerken's JDP Electric #7, but was never able to get any closer to the lead than that. Bjerken was able to hold off VanMil and take the checkers for the first time in his four year career at NCR and fourth Mod Four victory overall.
"I started seeing (VanMil) out of the corner of my eye, but I just tried to put that out of my head and run my race," said Bjerken following his win.
He says that knowing VanMil, a past WISSOTA Mod Four national champion, was right behind him didn't add too much pressure towards the end of the race, "I've been racing pretty good now lately, so he didn't really bother me that much."
A stout class of 14 Street Stocks made the haul to NCR for the 20 lap, $600-to-win King Pin Clash. Ryan Pommerer of Oriska, ND jumped to out the lead as the field entered turn one. From there Pommerer increased his lead to a seven car length advantage and it looked as though he might run away with it. But when the field passed by the flag stand and the lap counter read seven to go, Jordan Duray and Nic Klein were right on the heels of Pommerer. On the very next lap, Duray dove to the low side of Pommerer, but couldn't complete the pass for the point as Pommerer had his machine wound up in the middle/high groove. The two drivers battled side by
side like this for the remainder of the race. They were dead even in the back stretch on the final lap, they both drove deep into the final set of corners, and when they drag raced to the finish line Duray edged out Pommerer by a half car length for the win.
Cody Skytland had a great run going in the WISSOTA Modified feature, but just fell short to Jerome Guyot of Fannystelle, MB. Guyot led all 20 circuits in his winning effort; which was his first visit to NCR this season. Michael Johnson came home third followed by Austin Arneson, and Bryce Borgen.
Stacy Pederson-Roy dominated the NCR Trophy Class by winning the eight lap heat race by a half lap and the feature race by a half lap over Katie Ahrndt.
The 17 car WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature was really a three horse race for the win between Brock Gronwold, Casey Arneson, and
Jason Strand. Gronwold had led nearly the whole race, but was never able to shake Arneson from his rear bumper. With three laps to go Arneson was finally able to sneak around the outside and grab the lead, but just as he did that the yellow flag was displayed which meant Arneson had to give the position back to Gronwold. Gronwold led the field to the green on the ensuing restart, but found himself in second as they exited turn two. That's because Jason Strand rocketed by both Arneson and Gronwold, took the lead and immediately checked out giving him his first win at NCR and second of the season.
"I knew the two leaders were going to be fighting for the bottom and I just told myself, 'No matter where they went, I'm not going to follow them' and they both stayed low and I held it wide open and it rode right around the top," said Strand after the race.

A frightening injury disrupted Thursday's game between the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies and Salt Lake Bees. Grizzlies outfielder Darren Ford collided with the left-field wall at Salt Lake's Smith's Ballpark while chasing a foul ball in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
Ford suffered a concussion and a neck sprain, but his vitals "seem OK," and he was able to move his legs and feet, according to Fresno manager Bob Mariano. He added that Ford would undergo a CAT scan on his head and a series of X-rays on his back and neck.
Immediately following the collision, players in the left-field bullpen rose and signaled for help. Both teams' trainers and a Salt Lake doctor attended to Ford. Eventually, an ambulance and a firetruck pulled onto the field. Ford was removed on a stretcher and brought to an area hospital.
Ford's agent, Joshua Kusnick, suggested via Twitter that Ford will be all right.
Darren ford never lost conciousness and was put on a stretcher as a precaution. He has full movement likely a concussion w back pain #giant

He played in the San Francisco system from July 2008 through the end of the 2011 campaign, and he signed with the Giants as a Minor League free agent on March 8.
The 28-year-old native of New Jersey was 1-for-4 and had been caught stealing before being replaced by Tyler Colvin in the Grizzlies' 11-4 victory. Ford's hitting .350 with two stolen bases and four runs scored through eight games this season.

The Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust is a fantastic organization that, to me, represents the cutting edge of the effort we need to all make to bring human needs and environmental sustainability into harmony with each other.
MWCT works to protect the legendary ecosystems and astounding wildlife of East Africa through conservation programs that directly benefit local Maasai communities....and what I love about MWCT and think makes it really important is that they're showing that it doesn't have to be Nature vs People anymore.
I can see why people would say, "Why work on something so far from home in such an exotic and remote place?" or "What do the Maasai people and African wildlife and wilderness have to do with our lives and our challenges?"
My answer is that every day we learn more about how interconnected the natural systems on the planet are and recognize even more clearly that we all rely on healthy ecosystems to support our lives...even ones that are far away from where we live. Figuring out how poor people in developing countries can thrive and grow without destroying some of the world's most important natural resources is going to be one of the great challenges of the 21st Century.
You can read in detail about everything the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust does just by clicking here.
