text: MEC notebook: Shepherd sharp in opening rout By Doug Smock September 12, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Monte Cater knows to take preseason polls with a grain of salt. The ranking of Shippensburg at No. 7 may or may not be an example.This much is known, however: The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference team has the reigning Harlon Hill Trophy winner (Division II player of the year) in quarterback Zach Zulli, a better-than-average defense and an 11-1 record in 2012.And Shepherd blasted that team out of Ram Stadium last week, 33-0. That was easily the most eye-opening result of the infant Mountain East Conference's first week."We didn't have anything close to a 240-, 250-yard rushing game last year," said Cater, in his 27th year as Shepherd's coach. "And we wanted to get some pressure with the front four. We didn't have to blitz. "They had six turnovers - I hope we helped cause a couple or so. We had four sacks, 18 quarterback hits."In anchoring the Rams' dominating defensive effort, freshman linebacker Octavius Thomas was named the MEC's first defensive player of the week. He had seven tackles, 1.5 for loss and one fumble recovery as the Rams held the Raiders to 217 total yards - and forced Zulli into a 13-for-27 afternoon, with two interceptions. Leading Shepherd's unexpected 243-yard rushing attack was sophomore Allen Cross with 106 yards and true freshman Jabre Lolley with 95."It was a great win for our program," said Cater, who brings his team to Fairmont State this week. "If it's a legitimate seventh-ranked team, that's tremendous. But we'll take that with a grain of salt." nnCloser to home, University of Charleston coach Pat Kirkland is battling practice-time storms and the memory of a 44-14 loss to Shaw (Raleigh, N.C.) last weekend. A journey to Division I FCS Southern Illinois this weekend doesn't make things easier.UC is not heading to Carbondale to get a paycheck, though that will happen. The Golden Eagles found themselves without a game with few options, and SIU needed a game on this particular weekend.Here's how that happened, in condensed form: The new Mountain East's initial football first-year scheduling was going to be challenging anyway, and the plan of a 10-game conference schedule wasn't going to happen right away. Some teams, such as West Virginia State, do have all 10 MEC opponents, but UC has nine. "In the initial season of the Mountain East Conference, the majority of our institutions had contracts in place for the Week 1 of 2013 that would have been difficult and/or expensive to terminate," said MEC commissioner Reid Amos. "As such, the MEC has a nine-game slate in 2013 and a 10-game slate in 2014."UC was given additional dispensation in the second week to finish its contract with St. Joseph's College of Renssalaer, Ind. Then, out of the blue, UC officials discovered that St. Joseph's scheduled another opponent for this weekend, Siena Heights of Michigan.UC could have taken a bye week, but coach Pat Kirkland wanted his team to play an 11-game schedule and SIU contacted the MEC office looking for an opponent. The match was made.With the weather, UC had some extra sessions to watch the Shaw video, which could classify as a horror film. The Eagles were outgained 520-148 and allowed Shaw to convert 11 first downs in 16 chances. "First and foremost, we played a very good Shaw team," Kirkland said. "Personnel-wise, they had eight or 11 new starters, transfers mostly. Our defense played good enough to win on first and second down, but we couldn't get off the field."nnState heads to Concord this weekend trying to forget its disaster, a 31-13 loss at Lock Haven, Pa. The Yellow Jackets owned a 26-12 advantage in first downs and a 358-254 edge in total yards, but special-teams disasters helped give Lock Haven TD drives of 3, 26 and 46 yards.Twice, State punter Cory Broughton had trouble fielding snaps, incurring big losses on fourth down."We had a couple of low snaps on punts. The protection was fine," said first-year coach Jon Anderson. "Our punter inadvertently put his knee down once, and had another one go through his legs. We need a good snap and good operation time, and we've been working hard to correct that."LeFloyd Phillips ran for 106 yards on 26 carries and Josh Wade added 65 on 10 attempts. Tyler Seals went 20 of 38 for 206 yards and one interception, but didn't throw his one touchdown pass until there was 2:28 left in the game.

Sharp and award-winning: the knife series by TV cook Sarah Wiener
Kitchen knives are among the most important tools for any cook nobody knows this better than TV cook and red dot: best of the best laureate Sarah Wiener. Just as her cuisine is based on freshness and quality, this knife series, which is named after the celebrity chef, speaks for tradition and form. The series is made up of nine pieces manufactured by Pott, a long-established German knife maker, in a traditional process involving 90 different steps. The blades are extremely tough and rust resistant, as well as flexible and resilient: They stay sharp for a long time and can easily be sharpened at home.
The knives were designed by Ralph Kraemer in close cooperation with Sarah Wiener: We wanted to create a meaningful, durable knife series that does not need to scream for attention for one season. They succeeded. The knife series convinced the independent jury: The workmanship, design and quality of materials are impressive. Perfection and touch characterise the product. The knife set is an expression of a successful symbiosis of tradition, craftsmanship and design. The international experts honoured this outstanding design achievement with the red dot: best of the best, the highest single accolade of the competition.
What are the greatest challenges that you currently see in your branch of industry?
Sarah Wiener: Meaningful creations. Both in the cutlers workshop and on the plate.
Ralph Kraemer: Creating something of high quality despite ever-stricter financial constraints.
How would you define the term design quality?
Ralph Kraemer: Durability, emotionally appealing with high functionality.
Do you have a philosophy toward life?
Sarah Wiener: Where my feet are standing, there I am.

How far would you go to have everything you ever wanted? That's the question at the heart of the upcoming comedy "The Brass Teapot," and for Michael Angarano and Juno Temple, taking a few hits to the body to keep the cash coming in seems to be worth it… at first.
Directed by Rama Mosley, the film follow the two stars, who play John and Alice, a young couple in some financial straits, dreaming of better things. When Alice discovers that a little bit of pain from anyone near it causes their ancient teapot to explode with cash, they are soon living the high life, flush with cash and increasingly inventive in finding ways to injure themselves, to keep the money coming in. But of course, the good times don't last forever, and they begin question what they've done. We're big fans of the two leads, and with a supporting cast that also features Alexis Bledel, Alia Shawkat, Bobby Moynihan, Matt Walsh and more, we'll be checking it out.
"The Brass Teapot" hits VOD on February 28th and lands in theaters on April 5th. Watch below. [HeyUGuys]

i have a compost tumbler, compost can be dug into garden, what can i use the liquid that drains during rotting down. can it be used as feed, if so what dilution, and what can i use it on
- 31 Mar, 2012
I would throw it on the grass undiluted but not onto any plant. You are better to make liquid feed by adding comfrey or nettles to a bucket of water and leave that for a few weeks then use that liquid around plants as that has nutrients.

New laws which came into force this week will make it harder than ever for people to sell their homes. Despite much opposition, Home Information Packs (HIPs) are now a compulsory part of the home-selling process.
Rule changes which came into effect on 6 April mean that every home must have a HIP in place – not just ordered as has been the case up until now – before it can be put on the market.
A HIP contains detailed information regarding the energy rating of the home, Local Authority searches, evidence of title and "sustainability information", if the property is classed as a "new home".
But that's not all. Sellers are also now required to complete a Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ). This outlines pre-sale information such as the property's council tax band, parking arrangements, utilities and any structural alterations made to the property.
The new requirements will lead to expensive delays for home sellers, critics say. They are the culmination of a troubled passage to law for HIPs.
Originally a Labour manifesto commitment in 1997 and 2001, the so-called "sellers' packs" were designed to speed up the process of buying and selling homes.
John Prescott, who oversaw the policy development, heralded the pack, claiming it would transform the process, making it "easier, more transparent and more successful".
However, a key element of the pack, the Home Condition Report, became only a voluntary part of the pack in 2007. This followed widespread concern that what was effectively a seller's survey would not be accepted by any potential mortgage lender.
Despite opposition from many quarters – particularly estate agents – the Government has ploughed on with the HIP and today's home-seller needs to gather together an unprecedented amount of information.
This typically adds between £200 to £400 to the cost of selling your home, although some pack providers will allow payment to be deferred. While an estate agent is not responsible for the veracity of the PIQ, it is their responsibility to ensure it is included in the HIP.
The onus is on the sellers to fill it out themselves and to be "truthful and accurate".
A PIQ is typically about eight pages long and if the home being sold is a leasehold property, there are further questions to be completed. There are two types of questionnaire: one for newly-built properties and another for other types of property.
It is important to note that the information required on the PIQ only relates to the time when the seller has owned the property. However, if any of the information changes before the sale is completed, the seller is obliged to tell the conveyancer or estate agent.
So will the PIQ add further delay to an already convoluted process? Not necessarily, say the HIP providers, so long as the vendor completes the questionnaire.
The Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP) claims its members are currently turning HIPs around in an average of five days. But this is only possible if sellers play ball and complete the PIQ rapidly and allow energy assessors into their homes as quickly as possible, the Association warns.
The assessors have to complete an energy performance certificate which has been a requirement since October 2008 for any property being built, sold or rented. It provides ratings from A to G on the building, with A being the most energy efficient. The Government says the average rating is currently D.
Despite recent government research indicating that both sellers and buyers have largely been ignoring the HIP, Mike Ockenden of AHIPP argues that the questionnaire will significantly increase the number of consumers viewing the pack.
He says: "Providing simple, easy to understand, upfront information regarding a property will enable buyers to make a more informed decision, making them less likely to pull out later in the process. The PIQ will also raise consumer awareness and appetite for the HIP, as vendors completing the questionnaire are likely to request to see similarly completed forms for any properties they go on to view.
"The information required in the PIQ is already obtained from the seller in the present system, but much later in the sale process.
"There is nothing new, just different timing that makes total sense."
But critics argue that political dogma is behind the decision to continue with HIPs, despite their potential to further damage the property market. Louise Cuming, the head of mortgages at moneysupermarket.com, feels that HIPs have been a disaster from the beginning. She says: "In their current state HIPs are little more than an annoying, overly expensive delay to the process of selling a house. In short; more forms, more doubt, more delay – just what we don't need now."
The National Association of Estate Agents is calling on the Government to suspend HIPs in this month's Budget and re-examine their viability only once the recession is over. It recently revealed that 65 per cent of property professionals surveyed believe that the new HIP arrangements will actually discourage sellers from putting their properties on the market.
However, the fact is that the Government seems set to avoid yet another policy U-turn, regardless of the consequences. And even in the extremely unlikely event of HIPs being scrapped, the energy performance of the property would still have to be rated, as it is part of EU requirements to combat climate change.
So while HIPs look set to be another headache for property owners, anyone planning to sell their home should simply get their pack together as soon as they can to avoid frustrating delays.
Keep track of interesting mortgage opportunities
The Bank of England's decision to keep interest rates at 0.5 per cent this week was widely expected. But the Bank's lack of action should spur people with tracker mortgages into action, advises Ray Boulger of mortgage broker John Charcol. He points out that borrowers with tracker mortgages priced below the bank rate can expect to continue paying little or no interest for most or all of this year, or until the end of their deal, whichever comes first.
"Borrowers with tracker mortgages should take advantage of the windfall cut in their mortgage payments by using at least some of their extra spare cash each month to pay down their debt, starting with the most expensive, or putting the money in a savings account," he says.
He says the priority should be to pay back the most expensive debt. "After that, the mortgage should be reduced, subject to being able to do so without incurring an early repayment charge, unless the pay rate is so low that a better net of tax return can be obtained from a savings account," Boulger says.
"For example, there is no point in overpaying a mortgage on which no interest is being paid until the rate goes back up. The cash should be put into an instant access savings account and then withdrawn and used to reduce the mortgage when the cheap rate finishes."

With the shadow of its charismatic former mayor still hanging over the city, voters in Newark are preparing to elect a new leader from among two candidates who share deep city roots but little else.
The May 13 election will decide whether Ras Baraka or Shavar Jeffries will take over the seat Cory Booker occupied from 2006 until October, when he won a special election to succeed U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died in office.
One of the battles in the race has been over which candidate is more authentically "Newark." It's a familiar refrain in the city of 277,000 10 miles west of Manhattan, where some dismissed the suburban-bred Booker as an outsider despite his undeniable star power nationally.
Baraka is a Newark councilman and former principal of Newark's Central High School whose tough-love approach was highlighted in the documentary television series "Brick City." The 44-year-old father of three hails from one of Newark's most prominent families, as the son of activist-writer Amiri Baraka, who died in January. Baraka graduated from Howard University and got a master's degree in education from St. Peter's University.
Jeffries, 39, is a civil rights attorney and former New Jersey state assistant attorney general who teaches at Seton Hall University's School of Law. He grew up in Newark's impoverished South Ward and was raised by his grandmother after his mother was shot to death. As a young man, Jeffries got a scholarship from the Newark Boys & Girls Club to attend Seton Hall Preparatory School and went on to graduate from Duke University and Columbia Law School. The married father of two says he's running to give back to the city that gave him opportunities.
"When I was 10 years old, my mother was killed and my father abandoned me, and my life was turned around by the people of Newark and by the love and opportunity that they poured into me," Jeffries said. "I wouldn't even be able to be a lawyer without what the people of Newark did for me."
Baraka said at a recent candidate's forum that the election was not a referendum on Booker's tenure.
"This is the post-Booker era. This is Newark's opportunity to show up and show out," Baraka said. "I think the stage has been set, the lights are on, the people are in the theater; it's time for us to perform."
Both men have made school reform — namely, wrestling the state-controlled district back under local control — a key aspect of their platforms, as well as tackling the city's persistently high crime rate.
Each has been attempting to undermine the other's record in a barrage of ads that have hit the airwaves in the weeks leading up to the election, with Baraka accusing Jeffries of being a pawn of Gov. Chris Christie and monied interests and Jeffries accusing Baraka of a lackluster record and questionable financial practices as a city councilman.
Whoever takes over will be inheriting a city that faces what a state official who oversees compliance with state obligations called an "extraordinary level of fiscal distress."
A state compliance official wrote in a recent letter that the state could take over Newark if the city doesn't get its finances in order and come up with a plan to tackle a projected budget gap of at least $34 million in 2014.

"I want every aspect of UTD to be first class, and this report says to us all that we have additional steps to take to make residential housing truly first class, ... I'm bound and determined to take those steps."

"Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth."
George Bernard Shaw
"I would consider us, you know, right at the bottom of the middle class. We?re not poor."
Peggy Ferlini
"We want the black middle class and we are confident that they will want us once they see what we have to offer, which is really good information, entertainment and service. But that doesn't rule out the white market because let us face it, black people have been watching and enjoying white entertainment forever. So why can't the opposite be true. We are not pointing to race so much as lifestyles in defining our market and these days and times, many different lifestyles are emerging."
Andrew Jones
"They are a mistake. The middle class never got a tax cut for us to defend,"
Howard Dean

This Week 13 it is especially appropriate to focus on our theme of Families. Our sample poem comes from First Grade and is a gem by Margarita Engle. Here is just the beginning and the ending-- to encourage you to search out the rest.
by Margarita Engle
We called her little grandmother
even though she was big.
She taught me how to embroider
a garden,
decorating the world
with a sharp needle,
one flowery stitch
at a time.
[Look for the whole poem in The Poetry Friday Anthology on p. 79.]
Take 5
1. Before reading the poem aloud, talk about the different words we use for grandmother, such as abuelita, oma, nana, etc.
2. Invite students to set the stage and read the first two lines aloud together while you read the rest aloud slowly. Display the poem so students can read their lines or invite them to echo you.
3. Invite students to share memories or feelings about their own grandmothers.
4. Sometimes poems rhyme and sometimes they don't. In this case, the poem doesn't rhyme but still has a rhythm that emerges through the length of the lines. Challenge students to point out lines that "go together" and have a similar rhythm even though they don't end in a rhyme (like Her neighbors rode horses / and lived in thatched huts).
5. Pair this poem with "Doña Pepita" by Guadalupe Garcia McCall (5th Grade, Week 14).
And don't forget our free e-book giveaway-- details below.
Now join the Poetry Friday fun hosted by Mary Lee and Franki at A Year of Reading here.

I have an abuelita. My maternal G.M. is from Mexico. I recognize the gold butterfly, but what kit are the other colors from?
NursegreeneyesRN, at 10:01PM on Sunday July 22, 2007 |
Hey Andrea! I sent you an email, hope you got it! This kit is called "FlutterButter". Hope you had a gr8t wknd!
annirana, at 11:02PM on Sunday July 22, 2007 |
Yes ma'am, I got it and replied. I have a question, on one of your pages, ( best freinds) you said that you got a font called "Fiolex Girlz" from MM2. Do they come w/ the program, or did you purchase it from the MM store?
NursegreeneyesRN, at 08:55PM on Monday July 23, 2007 |
"Fiolex Girlz" font came with the MM V2.
annirana, at 09:25PM on Monday July 23, 2007 |
how do you access it?
alliesun98, at 08:39AM on Tuesday July 24, 2007 |
Sorry to butt into the conversation, but I was wondering how you are able to contact other members on here. Is there a place to find email addresses? I have some questions and would love some advice from some "seasoned veterans"!!
Thanks :)
NursegreeneyesRN, at 08:11PM on Tuesday July 24, 2007 |
The font automatically came with the software. And to answer alliesun response....Hi! alliesun. Actually there is no place to find other MM emails, although wished they would have a mini chat room or forum where we can post our ideas. But, if you want to have a MM buddy you can email at email@example.com. The only way to post messages is by leaving comments and go back on a daily basis to see if any one has responded to your question or comment! I emailed MM about developing a forum room, but Im still waiting for they're response.....If you have any questions or comments drop me an email! : D Ciao!
annirana, at 11:00AM on Wednesday July 25, 2007 |
Hi ladies! Alliesun you may reach me at: email@example.com (my name is Andrea) Check out the response I left on Rainees' blue ballet page called "dancing Rainee". It kind of ties in with what you're talking about. Bye! p.s. NursegreeneyesRN, I looked in my font folder for that font and it wasn't there. Is there some special trick to it?

Last week I found a great deal on a 2009 mini in really good condition so I picked it up to use as an HTPC. After adding 4GB of RAM, a reformat, clean install of SL and then Lion its running like a champ. The only problem Im having is solving an overscan/underscan issue. When I have it plugged in to my 32 720p TV through Mini DP -> HDMI, if I have the overscan option selected the edges get cut off, but if I dont have it selected the entire image is very small. I have messed around with the options on my TV and the Mini and no matter what I do, I cant get it to display at the right resolution. I tried SwitchResX as well, but I could never get it to work right. The Mini looks great when connected via Mini DP -> VGA, but that defeats the purpose of what I want to use it for, as I cant play any of my HD iTunes content due to HDCP. I think the problem is that my Mini is missing the underscan slider in the display preferences. When I connected my 2010 11 MBA to my TV I had the same problem as my Mini, but the MBA has a nifty little underscan slider that can solve the problem of the cut off edges. This slider is not on my Mini, however, and Ive hooked it up to two other monitors and it never shows up even though its there on my MBA. After a little bit of searching online I found that this slider seems to have been new to SL and solved a lot of the overscan issues, but it is completely missing from my system. Does anyone have any idea as to why the underscan slider is missing? Is there a way to enable it? Or is my only option SwitchResX? Thanks in advance for any help!
Generally if something like that is missing, it's because the hardware doesn't support it. For example: the "detect displays" button. It was added a long time ago, but when it was added, it was only supported by newer graphics cards, and it was missing on older machines.
go to your backup and run the older version of osx. the last time I gave this as an answer the poster must have said f u to me more then 100 different ways. ( he had no back up and perceived my answer as that of a wise guy.) My answer is not nasty or sarcastic. My answer is hopeful that you have a back up. if you don't there are other ways to fix it. but they will be slow. every way I have to fix it involves going to the older version of os one way or another. you can google mac under scan program and see what you get.
Are you connected to a TV via HDMI or a computer monitor? What brand and type? There are settings in many TVs that may need to be changed.
I have the opposite issue- but have a workaround Before you go to what would be a lot of work to restore from back up, try this first. I have the opposite problem as you with my 2012 mini. When my dell monitor is plugged in, the mini sees it as a TV instead of a monitor and shows the under scan slider. This creates issues with maximum and minimum white levels among other issues. The workaround I found is annoying but effective. In my case, I simply make sure that the mini is fully booted BEFORE I plug the monitor in to it. When I do that, it sees the display properly. The giveaway was that when it's failing, the displays control panel reports it as a generic display, but when I do this it properly identifies the brand and model. My guess is that the "handshaking" that occurs doesn't work right if the monitor is already plugged in and powered on when the mini boots. One additional step that was needed to keep from having to do this again if the system goes to sleep was to set the energy saver control panel to "never" on system sleep. Hopefully Apple will fix this with an update. I reported the issue and they were able to replicate it. Hope that helps

Preventing Falls In Hospital a Waikato Goal |
Preventing Falls In Hospital a Waikato
Preventing falls in hospital is the
business for everyone involved in health.
That is
the message of this year's Falls promotion, which got
underway this week at Waikato District Health Board
Chief operating officer Jan Adams says falls are
an ongoing and serious cause of patient harm.
take patient safety very seriously and are doing all we can
to prevent harm from falls," she says.
wants a patient to have a fall while receiving health
Waikato DHB will mark No Falls month by
not only including details of rolling out the Ministry Of
Health "No falls month" campaign across the DHB but also
celebrating its fall prevention
Achievements to date:
injury rate continues to decrease
•Fall rate within the
DHB continues to reduce
•Increase in reporting of
patient falls
•The number of falls resulting in a
severity score of 1 has decreased
•More than 1700 staff
have now completed the Upright online falls education
•A comprehensive toolkit of fall prevention strategies
on the intranet
But we still have
some way to go, how can we improve even more?," said Mrs
The DHB "No falls" campaign has been
launched through the Board of Clinical Governance, senior
nurses meeting, nursing round table and the senior
nurse/Allied Health meetings and features on the intranet
message of the day page.
Staff have been asked to
involve patients, families and carers, using their
creativity to show case the fall prevention activities in
their ward/area and service - inpatient, out patient and the
Additional resources from the Ministry of
Health, "No falls" Balloons, pens, stickers and two sets of
posters, will provide an opportunity to focus even more on
fall prevention improvements as we go forward
in action include: Fall prevention focus boards, update
education (Self directed learning package/Upright online),
streaming of the Thames 'Humpty Dumpty' video; placing the
A4 posters and balloons with the 'releasing time to care'
boards and smaller posters in high risk fall areas:
toilets/bathrooms; stickers and pens are being used to focus
fall prevention conversations/admission and discharge with
patients and /families, quizzes and
Mrs Adams says falls can cause
suffering and sometimes death, as well as distress for their
families/whanau or caregivers of the person who has
fallen. A fall-related injury often means a longer
hospital stay and extra medical tests and treatment. It is
one of the main reasons patients for earlier admissions to
an aged residential care facility.
Between 2010 and
2012, 200 people nationally fell while in hospital care and
broke their hip.
"Many falls are preventable and
it's up to us all to make sure we work as a team to
prevent harm from falls. Our staff are working hard to make
sure every patient is assessed for their risk of a fall,
care plans are developed with patients and family to help
keep them safe on their feet, and we make sure the
environment is safe."
Older people are most at
risk of falling.
Mrs Adams encourages people to
discuss any concerns with their doctor or nurse, and to ask
for help if they feel unsteady on their
"Don't be afraid to ask
for help if you need a hand," she says.
"It's also important to make sure you know
where the call-bell is by your bed and that you have
everything that is important within reach, such as your
glasses or walker. Staff will help keep the area around your
bed clutter-free and make sure any spills are attended to so
you don't slip over."
A national patient safety
campaign coordinated by the Health Quality & Safety
Commission will focus initially on reducing harm from
falls. Other areas of focus during the campaign will be
healthcare-associated infections, medications and
perioperative harm.
