Our unit will be trying to get as many warm lap afghans for the patients as we can. There will be 125 veterans in each home.
We are asking for any yarn you might like to donate for the afghans. If you would like to knit an afghan for us, that would be great! If you don't have any yarn the Auxiliary will have some for you.
Please drop any yarn at Nifty Fashions, 89 E. Center St. in Moab.
The afghans need to be a certain size so that the wheels of the wheelchairs will not be tangled up. All information about the afghans can be gotten from Nifty Fashions or any Auxiliary member.
If you are not much of a knitter and can only knit strips of yarn, I have a lady who can sew the strips together and finish the edges. Another lady would teach knitting if there are enough knitters for the class.
We would appreciate any help you can give us. We realize that this is the busy time of the year, but we have a year to complete this project.
On behalf of the Auxiliary, we would like to thank you for your support of our activities through the years. For more information, or to volunteer materials or time, contact Debi Swafford at 435-686-2397, or Patti Murphy at Nifty Fashions, 435-259-8411.
– Debi Swafford, Auxiliary president

Total Quality is the principle that governs the productive processes of our footwear. From design until you put them on, your Nordika's have to go through different and rigorous controls throughout the entire value chain. Skins, wool, linings, soles and all the components of a Nordika's shoe are chosen for their exceptional quality. Because our philosophy and our goal, is to offer quality and total comfort inside and outside the home.
Keeping the natural beauty of your Nordika's for years is very easy. Our models can get wet, but it is not advisable to subject them to the aggressive action of washing machines, nor should they be left to dry in the sun.
Gently pass a sandpaper or brush that has the bristles as thin and stiff as possible, then if necessary, you can wash them with mild soap and cold water.
Wipe with a little damp cloth and let them dry, then anoint with colorless cream. Let the cream dry and rub with a dry cloth.
Wash by hand, with mild detergents and cold water.
Rub gently with a sponge moistened with mild detergent and cold water.

Each year, the retailers start pushing the holidays on us earlier and earlier.
This year, the ads started showing up in September.
Kids are already talking about what they want to get; parents are already putting up lights and decorations outside, planning big dinners and spending money like there's no tomorrow.
Of course, I'm talking about the biggest holiday of the year: Halloween.
Who doesn't fondly remember their parents spending hours hanging up fancy, expensive outdoor Halloween lights, addressing and mailing their Halloween cards and buying fancy, Broadway-musical-quality costumes for all their kids before putting out bowls of $2 candy bars for the...

Analytics talent is in such demand that a Harvard Business Review headline referred to data scientist as "the sexiest job of the 21st century."1 Employers across sectors are anxiously hiring. Yet is hiring quickly the only way for agencies to continue to build the human services analytics workforce?
When it comes to growing this talent pool, the best return on investment in cost, staff time and results comes when agencies prepare first and hire last. Well before hiring, they must understand agency culture, assess and grow the talent they have, and explore creative, even unconventional, sources of human services analytics expertise.

Duluth East Gets Handed First Shutout Since 2012 in 0-3 Class AA Quarterfinal Against Eagan
The Duluth East Greyhounds opened their sixth straight state tournament appearance against the Eagan Wildcats as the last quarterfinal game of the 2014 tournament at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. East was seeded #4 in the Class AA bracket, with their opponent, Eagan, seeded #5.
Defense was the name of the game through the first period. Both teams remained scoreless through the period, but Eagan led in shooting 11-6 over the Hounds. After a hard-fought defensive second period, Eagan's Max Elsenheimer found the net on a power play with just over one second left in the period to give the Wildcats the 1-0 advantage going into the second intermission.
The third period opened up just as fast and physical as the first two, with plenty of big hits and defense. At the 6:34 mark in the third period, Max Elsenheimer connected on a difficult shot, giving Eagan the 2-0 advantage. In the remaining minutes of the game, Eagan managed to successfully interrupt any offensive effort the Greyhounds attempted. With about a minute and a half left in the game, East pulled Gunnar Howg in favor of an extra skater. Eagan pushed the puck into the East zone, where Kyle Stebbing scored an empty netter to shut the door on the Greyhounds.
The 3-0 victory Eagan earned over Duluth East is the first shutout the Greyhounds have been dealt since December of 2012. Eagan will go on to play Edina in the semifinals, while East goes into the consolation bracket. The first game of that series will put the Greyhounds up against Stillwater at Mariucci Arena Friday at noon.

Three for Thursday highlights bike culture, bikes and gear as celebrated by local bike shops. Each week BikeRadar checks in with a different shop around the country to find out what's hot with riders in their area.
For this week's Three for Thursday, we visit Big Poppi Bicycle Company. There's no denying that "Big Poppi" is a quirky name for a bike shop. (It was a nickname of one of the shop's founders.) Big Poppi is located in "the Little Apple" of Manhattan, Kansas, a college town of 52,000 residents.
The handwritten sign that sits in the front window sums up this shop's ethos in three words: "I will listen."
"Being open for just under four years, we may not be that old, but our values are," said Big Poppi Bicycle Company co-owner Aaron Apel. "It does not matter to us how novice or experienced of a cyclist you are. We will listen to your wants and needs, meet them appropriately, and treat you like family."
"Our story will always remain one about old-fashioned customer service and being a place you want to return to," Apel said. "This year all the hard work paid off when the community and industry recognized us with out first Top 100 award."
1. What is the coolest thing in your shop?
"Right now the coolest thing that we have in the shop is a custom Giant TCR Advanced SL that we have built up for one of our customers who is currently serving overseas, " said Apel.
A few miles down I-70 from Big Poppi is Fort Riley, home to the US Army's 1st Infantry Division also known as "The Big Red One."
This Big Red One weighs a mere 13.11lbs
"We were very proud to hear that this particular customer was just selected to be a racer on the US Military Cycling Team for the 2013 season. Therefore we had to get him a proper steed," Apel said. "The TCR Advanced SL fit the bill nicely. Add a complete SRAM Red kit, a Mad Fiber tubular wheelset, some Speedplay Zero Ti pedals, and a couple Gateway Pro 1 carbon cages and there you have it: a bike worthy of a man who spends his life protecting ours with dreams of professional bike racing in the future."
Total weight on that bike? A mere 13.11lb/5.95kg.
2. What are you lusting after right now?
"I would have to say right now 'amber waves of gravel' are what fill my dreams at night," said Apel.
"I have taken a shot at the Dirty Kanza 200 on a singlespeed," he said. "After a year hiatus, I have determined that might have been a bad idea after bonking around mile 110… Therefore gears are in order for a realistic shot at completing this amazing race, what better way to start a geared build than with the hubs and what better hubs than the special edition deep purple Chris King hubs that I am lusting after, because what better color to represent a man in the middle of Kansas State University Wildcat country? On a side note: I have been drooling over the Ritchy P-275 over the last few months, but the King hubs have distracted me recently."
Chris King purple parts. Good for the miles beyond the 110 mark?
3.What is your best seller?
Apel had a hard time pinning down a single thing, but with the onset of winter, several items stood out.
"Right now we are seeing an increase in the Serfas' True line of wireless lights, the 150 & 250 lumen lights have been very popular with commuters, while the 500 lumen light has been a perfect helmet-mounted option for mountain bikers," said Apel.
Serfas rechargeable lights are proving popular in Kansas
"We have also seen a large up-swing with the coming cold weather in the Endura Strike, which is an insulated, low bulk, waterproof glove with a rip stop finish."
"The newest products that have gone off like a shot have been Lazer sunglasses and Kali helmets. They have been big hits so far, what you get for the money is outstanding. We brought them in after Interbike as our season was tapering off. I cannot wait to see how they do in-season."

Thank you for dropping by with us today. Super-APE is building the biggest affiliate force there is in the world. Super Affiliate Profit Express Ultimate Viral Downline and List Builders Club. Long name for a very powerful group of people.
Every member here and those that are joining are sick and tired of the multiple programs that never have success. The reason for that is because it's not the programs, it is us as a people. We have the power to truly build something that has never been done before. It has been tried but many admins but never succeeded because of one main factor got in the way. GREED! Instead of building for all, they started building for themselves forgetting about what made them great in the first place. PEOPLE! (Their members).
Here at Super-APE we don't just tell you how to make money for the rest of your life, we show you. You won't find any safisticated funnels with upsells and downsells. You won't find any hidden agendas or gurus masked behind our platform. We are a straight-laced organization that figured out a very easy way to build your viral list, viral income, and receive unlimited referrals through UNITING AS A NETWORK with our club members.
When you become a member of our club with a one time registration of $7, that registration includes advertising services and ebooks that can be downloaded in the product area in your back office. As a bonus perk, you become an affiliate selling our services and will keep $5 out of every $7 registration when a new member joins. You will also have each new member help you build your list by donating their first two prospects to you and you will complete the sale. And each one of those two of those new sales you just made will also donate their first two prospect sales to you, providing you an endless list, income, and referrals.
But the team effort does not nearly stop there. Once inside you will join under you sponsor in our top 3 money making programs and then ALL of the Traffic Sources. All of your referrals will follow you! Providing a network of hard working individuals all geared to earning a bunch of money online.
Our Motto;
"We are strong as Individuals, But more Powerful as a NETWORK".
Here at Super-Ape, there is none of that hype and bull. We make sure the members who come through our doors are going to make money. PERIOD! Our club specializes in making money for the common/beginner marketer. And we never leave you hanging.

We give you the satisfaction of knowing you are with a team of individuals whose common goal is to make more money giving away as much as we can for FREE! That's right for free!
When you complete your registration today for a one time $7, that fee covers the purchase of 5 lifetime upgrades whose original value alone is $600. Add that with your financial list building ebooks that are available once your registration has been processed, that is one heck of a sign up package.
Now if that is not enough incentive right off the bat, as stated before, we did say you make money for life, correct? Every new member that you invite to join our elite club doesn't pay us, they pay you! That's right, every new member you invite and completes their registration you earn a whopping $5 commission out of the $7. The other $2 goes to payment processor fees and site maintenance.
How It Works?
So when they complete their one time $7 club registration, guess what? you get paid. There are no hidden fees, no upsells, no downsells, no middle man, and no forced matrix. With this simple box of giveaways and the purchase of your ebooks you could earn up to $5 per hour easy when you follow our exact blueprint for success. But first you must be a registered member in order to receive commissions. Although Free members may join (free members do not earn commissions or get the 5 lifetime upgrades worth $600.)
Registration is a one time $7. With all the FREE upgrades, bonuses, and discounts on products you get, $7 is a steal.
How Do You Join?
That is all there is to it. We turn your Super-Ape account into a turbo slide of List Building, Viral Income, and Unlimited Referrals that you don't even do a lot of work for. We have put together a very simple system that automates your income and referral process once you have started your foundation. We also show you how to do that as well. This is what you get at SUPER APE:

"The Chicana woman does not want to be liberated."
The words come from members of the Chicana Caucus at the 1969 First National Chicano Youth Conference in Denver. The path from that bold declaration of Chicana feminism to today is the subject of Professor Denise Segura's talk, "Challenging Patriarchal Eagles and Risking the Personal: Chicana Feminisms Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." It is part of the University of Houston Center for Mexican American Studies' 40th Anniversary Fall Speaker Series.
Segura is professor of sociology at the University of California Santa Barbara and is an affiliated professor in the department of Chicana/o studies program in Latin America and Iberian studies. She specializes in Chicana/o feminism, Latina/o education and Chicana/Mexicana education.
The lecture takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the 2nd floor Rockwell Pavilion of the M.D. Anderson Library. The event is free and open to the public.
"In this presentation, I reflect across the borderlands of time and space upon the ways in which Chicana feminisms have challenged the 'tradition of silence' and reclaimed our unique funds of knowledge to organize ourselves and our communities to create new paths for sexual and social agency," Segura said.
The center is celebrating its 40th anniversary this fall with a host of events, culminating in a November scholarship banquet.
Also on the Fall Speaker Series:
- Oct. 3 "MAYO and Mexican American Studies at UH in 1972"—UH and MAYO Alums
- Oct. 18 "Return to Aztlan: Mexican Americans and the Immigration Debate"—Nestor Rodriguez (UT)
- Oct. 18 "Gendered Migration from Mexico to the U.S. and Resultant Labor Patterns"—Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo (USC)

This month is featuring my brave attempts to unconventional prints, color combination and pairing. GQ Magazine once featured earlier this year that micro-prints are in. There's not much of a difference with the usual polka-dots, checks and stripes; it's just that the prints hafto be micronized or ultra tiny to give a different slash futuristic effect. I also tried the what I call the "gramps-effect" which uses earthly-colored ensembles like how our usual gramps would dress-up to give a mature-look which personally is very helpful to deceive people regarding my age cos a lot of my patients said I look so young to be a physician (which got me confused if it's actually a good compliment or a bad comment). In this set, I also included my brave attempt to combine two primary colors, not to complement each other but to show flux and digression of completely diverse colors. I ever since believe however that blue and yellow no matter how completely deflective they are would go together nicely with the use right textures and shades.

In this website you will find the keys to bring true wellness to your community and become known as a true healer. You will find out about Nutrition Response Testing®, which is the culmination of decades of work by Freddie Ulan, DC, CCN. Designed for chiropractors, it works equally well in conjunction with any valid healing methodology. For training opportunities, see our Calendar of Events.
When a serious illness in 1991 threatened to end his life, Dr. Ulan tried every treatment modality available at that time to get well.
No system he tried could arrest his decline. The relief from adjustments was increasingly short-lived. Months of trial and error with supplements were not an option. His survival literally depended on how quickly he could discover the body's priorities and how quickly and precisely he could handle them. More >>
In Dr. Ulan's words:
The basic premise of chiropractic is that if you remove interference to the nervous system, the nervous system will then heal the body. We learned how to identify the exact subluxation, correct it with a precisely delivered vertebral adjustment, and verify it was corrected. When the patient got up off the table, he was healed. When you checked him the next week, it was holding.
Too often these days, even though we give the best possible adjustments, the correction doesn't seem to hold nearly as well as it used to. So, what changed?
D.D. Palmer talked about primary subluxation by injury or accident, and secondary subluxation caused by toxicity, nutritional deficiency and stress. The recurring, or secondary, subluxations were not emphasized in my training, yet the majority of patients we see today are afflicted by them.
Bodies are not healing themselves like they used to because we have a deterioration of the food chain. And we have a huge increase in the intake of those things that literally prevent the body from self-repairing. D.D. Palmer gave us the miracles of chiropractic, and laid the groundwork for a science to restore cellular integrity after it was lost through nutritional neglect or toxic damage.
Which systems were urgently in need of support? What exactly did they need first, and in what dosages? To answer these questions required the evolution of a precise testing system, built on the pioneering work of Frances Pottenger in the 1930s, Royal Lee in the 1950s, and a handful of others.
The technology is complete, and the results are unvarying given proper training. Qualified practitioners can assess the status of the autonomic nervous system and design a precise nutritional program that will rebuild the compromised systems in the sequence dictated by the body's needs.

FamilyTreeDNA.com founder Bennett Greenspan will speak on the new genetic genealogy test at the next meeting of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Washington State on Monday, May 10.
The program is titled "The Y Chromosome and Beyond: Tracing Your Genealogy with the 'Other' DNA."
It begins at 7.30pm in the Stroum JCC Auditorium on Mercer Island. Doors open at 7pm, the JSWS library will be available, along with Wi-Fi.
Many genealogists have been using genetic genealogy, and specifically FamilyTreeDNA.com, to learn more about their ancestors and find relatives using Y-DNA for paternal lines and mtDNA for maternal lines.
Now there's a new test that uses autosomal chromosomes to look for close relationships along all ancestral lines, and can find links between male and female cousins across all family lines for the past five generations. Bennett will explain the new test in detail and provide exciting examples of new matches. He will also discuss the nuances of Y-DNA and mtDNA testing.
Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Bennett is the founder/CEO of FamilyTreeDNA.com. He spent years investigating his maternal grandfather's ancestors - an obsession that turned into a full-time vocation and led him to become a founder of the growing field now known as genetic genealogy. FamilyTreeDNA and other cooperative ventures, including the National Geographic Society's Genographic Project and AfricanDNA.com, now comprise the largest non-medical DNA testing program in the world.
Fee: JGSWS members, free; others, $5. For more information, click here.

Want to learn more about or participate in river conservation? This March, the
Oklahoma Conservation Commission is offering two great opportunities for
individuals to get involved with conservation efforts in the Illinois River Watershed!
Native Plant Species: River Cane
There are many kinds of plants native to Oklahoma. One of the
most significant is the river cane.
River cane, called "i-hi" in Cherokee, is an important ecological
and cultural asset to Oklahoma's scenic rivers. From a conservation
standpoint, river cane can be extremely beneficial. The cane grows in
stalks that form strong roots and can help reduce erosion and stabilize
stream banks. River cane can also serve as a natural filter, reducing
sedimentation and nutrient loading which can be harmful to river
ecosystems. Canebrakes (thick growths of river cane) provide habitats to
many species, including endangered animals such as the long ear bat.
Historically, river cane has played an important role in the lives of
early Oklahomans, and continues to be a part of Native American tradition.
River cane was once an abundant and versatile resource used for everything
from building and art materials to weaponry to food. Today many individuals
still use river cane in arrows, spearguns, flutes, and weaving.
There has been a massive decline in the plant, however; one
Cherokee scholar, Roger Cain, estimated that 98% of Oklahoma's river
cane has been lost. The massive decline led the Cherokee Nation
Environmental Protection Commission to place river cane on CN's Culturally
Protected Species list in August 2012.

Revision as of 15:27, 22 July 2008
Count Alfred von Schlieffen, who became Chief of the Great General Staff in 1891, submitted his plan in 1905; it was adopted, slightly modified, in 1914. The plan itself is described below.
. . . All writers have . . . been in accord that Moltke made the left or defensive wing in Alsace and Lorraine stronger than Schlieffen designed, and that he did so at the expense of the right wing, the decisive one, which in swinging round was to sweep the French Armies against the back of their eastern frontier fortresses and against the Swiss frontier. It has been repeated by many German authorities (e.g. General Wilhelm Groener) that Schlieffen made the proportion of one wing to the other 1 to 7, whilst Moltke changed it to 1 to 3, but how these figures are arrived at they do not reveal. According to General Groener in Das Testament des Grafen Schlieffen, the deployment of the troops against France in the 1905 plan and in 1914 were, omitting Landwehr and Ersatz troops, for sieges and L. of C. purposes:
|========1905========|=======1914=======|======ARMY=======| | | | | | 11 corps | 8 corps | First and Second| | 7 Reserve corps | 5 reserve corps | idem | | <-----------(line just south of Namur)-----> | |--------------------|------------------|-----------------| | | | | | 6 corps | 6 corps | Third and Fourth| | 1/2 Reserve corps | 3 reserve corps | idem | | <------------(line through Mezieres)-------> | |--------------------|------------------|-----------------| | | | | | 8 corps | 3 corps | Fifth | | 5 Reserve corps | 2 Reserve corps | idem | | <------(line through Verdun and Metz)------> | |--------------------|------------------|-----------------| | | | | | 3 corps | 4 corps | Sixth | | 1 Reserve corps | 1 Reserve corps | idem | | <----------(line through Strasbourg)-------> | |--------------------|------------------|-----------------| | | | | | nil | 2 corps | Seventh | | | 1 Reserve corps | idem | |=========================================================| | 41 1/2 (total) 35 (total) | |=========================================================|}
Schlieffen detailed 10 divisions for the Eastern front; Moltke, 8. Moltke, still less Schlieffen, never had the number of corps and divisions which the Schlieffen plan assumed to exist -- the latter's plan was only a "project." But, taking the above figures: In Schlieffen's plan the defensive wing is to the offensive as 4 to 37 1/2 ( 1 to 9 3/8 ), in Moltke's 8 to 27 (1 to 3 3/8); but Schlieffen's with the forces available in 1914, would have been 4 to 31 (1 to 7 3/8).
It has been left to Dr. Bredt, a member of the Reichstag and of the Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry into the loss of the war, to tell what was the real nature of the plan, how Moltke altered it, and why he did so (J. V. Bredt, Die Belgische Neutralität und der Schlieffensche Feldzugplan). His work, which shows a wide acquaintance with war literature, purports to contain portions of the Schlieffen plan of which the public had not yet heard, and which fully justify the reproach that Moltke changed it for the worse, much the worse, but not in the way hitherto imagined. Dr. Bredt, however, points out that Ludendorff was head of the Operations Section of the Great General Staff in 1908-09, at the time of the vital alterations, and from what we know of the First Quartermaster's ruthless methods and ignorance of the world, he probably had more to do with the changes than his courtier chief. Dr. Bredt recalls, what most of us have forgotten, if we ever knew, that in the January, 1909, number of the Deutsche Revue Graf Schlieffen anonymously protested against the changes -- it was, of course, surmised who wrote the article, and it is now included in his works....
The reasons for strengthening the left wing are given by Dr. Bredt as follows: Moltke could not abandon Alsace, as Schlieffen designed to do, for the Italians might take part on the German side; General Pollio, the Italian Chief of Staff until his death in 1914, had assured him they would As they were to be brought to Alsace, Moltke considered it necessary to hold that province with two corps. If the Italians did not appear, then the question of the transport of the two corps to the right wing would arise. As we know, the French attack towards Mulhausen fatally delayed this. These two corps, plus the two corps sent from France to Russia, would, if added to the right wing, have made it as strong asSchlieffen intended.
It emerges incidentally that the Schlieffen plan was worked out for war on the Western front only; for when drawn up, Russia was still very weak as a result of the Manchurian War. It also contemplated additions to the army that did not take place. There was only a general statement that in the case of Russia intervening, ten divisions should be withdrawn from the Western front and sent to the East, without altering the proportion of the two wings.
More important than the changes in the technical details was the alteration of the plan politically. In the Schlieffen plan 'there was no ultimatum to Belgium, but the German army, without any notification, was first to deploy on the Dutch-Belgian frontier.' As the German plan would be divulged by this, it was assumed that the French would take countermeasures These, according to Schlieffen's views, could only be the occupation of the natural defensive position in the Meuse valley south of Namur; and thus the French would themselves violate Belgian neutrality. Such a plan must have been at least considered by the French, and in 1914 the German General Staff took it for granted that they would advance to the Meuse. All this presumed that Belgian neutrality would not be broken by Germany first. Such a step Graf Schlieffen desired, if possible, to avoid. He wished to leave sufficient time so that, in one way or another, the German statesmen would be able to evade the reproach of the violation of Belgian neutrality. 'That Liege would always be captured sufficiently soon after the entry of the German army into Belgium, to serve as the railway junction for reinforcements and supply, could be accepted.'
This was all changed in the deployment plan of the mobilization year 1908-09, by which Liege was to be captured by a coup de main, without artillery preparation, during the mobilization....
There was, Dr. Bredt points out, a further reason in favour of the idea of a coup de main against Liege. The German deployment as imagined by Schlieffen would stretch as far north as Crefeld, that is, along the Dutch frontier.
'Schlieffen did not consider it out of the question, in view of the then [1905] political situation, as he judged it, that German diplomacy might succeed on the outbreak of war against England in obtaining from the Netherlands Government by an amicable arrangement (auf geftlichen Wege) permission for the German army to cross the Dutch province of Limburg (Maastrich, Roermond). By this means the fortress of Liege would be avoided by passing north of it, and could quickly be brought to surrender by threatening it in the rear.'
Moltke did not believe that Holland would give permission to traverse her territory, and dropped the idea of an advance of the German right wing by this route. On the other hand he feared that Liège could not be taken quickly enough by an accelerated artillery attack to prevent a delay in the general advance of the right wing. It was most important not to give the Belgians time to put the fortress in a state of defence, and in particular to construct defences in the intervals between the forts and destroy the important railways passing through Liege. It also appeared to him that it was impossible to march an army between Liege and the Dutch frontier. He therefore decided to take Liege by a coup de main carried out by troops of the peace establishment without mobilization immediately on outbreak of war. 'Two days and the following night were allowed for the execution of the coup de main.'

We're five days into the Summer Membership Drive, and a slight whiff of hysteria is starting to sweep over the staff and DJs. It could just be from living for days off of caffeine and cupcakes. Right now, Capitol Hill is in the lead of our Hood-to-Hood Challenge!
People like Debora from Sao Paolo, Brazil, keep us going and help maintain our sanity. She says that "KEXP provides the daily soundtrack to your life," and we want to keep the music playing for her and listeners like her. Like Debora, we believe in good music.
Debora says that when she donates to KEXP, she is "investing in something that will make me feel good and follow me wherever I go, be it at home, on the move, or on the web." That's exactly why KEXP exists – because listeners find it valuable enough in their lives to step up and support. So from all of us here at KEXP, thank you to everyone who has been a part of keeping good music alive and on the air. We couldn't do it without you!

In Stanczyk's last post I was pondering why my grandmother did not disembark in NYC, but disembarked from Philadelphia instead heading to Buffalo area by train.
So I brainstormed two possible explanations:
- Hurricane
- Dock Strike
Sorry my brain is tired these days I am sure there are even more besides the obvious, "Maybe she just missed her embarkation point in NYC."
As the picture shows, a mild season, but Tropical Storm (#4 — no names in those years) may have influenced the ship crossing as it was in the same time frame. But coming from the south I would have thought it may have driven the ship to NYC, not to the more southerly Philadelphia in an emergency. So perhaps a hurricane is not the explanation. I will have to keep searching.
I guess it was Hurricane Irene that came by this season with its horrific floods in the north-east (and here in PA and NJ as well as the VT pics we have all seen) that made me think of and search for that. After I wrote the article I realized it is exactly 98 years today (9/15), since my grandmother arrived in Philadelphia.
In my searches, I also found out about the Hurricane of 1913 on the Great Lakes (called the "Big Blow"). Check out these Ohio Historical Society Newspaper pages. This may at least partially explain why my Aunt Kitty was born in Depew (St Augustine parish) in 1914 and not in Toledo, OH, as her next three siblings were. This "Big Blow" caused a blizzard, wreaking havoc in Ohio/Ontario and eliminating chances to migrate further west (by train or Lake Steamship) for many months. Something like 250-300 men lost their lives upon 14 vessels that were lost on the Great Lakes during this EPIC storm of 1913. Even the trains were stranded and food left undelivered for a long time — causing food shortages.
I wonder if my KUSCHWANTZ (Toledo) blogger pal has any posts about that 1913 winter in Ohio. See my blogroll for Donna's very well done blog about Polish genealogy in Toledo area.
On to the next possibility …

Filling out paperwork for electrical permits and inspections and submitting a drawing to the local building department for plan review is already time consuming. Now, in order to be compliant with NFPA 70E, more in-house paperwork is required each time a worker reaches into energized equipment.
Changing breakers and pulling/terminating wire into panels are tasks performed frequently by electricians. Who can possibly follow through with this requirement? By reading between the lines of 70E and creating two types of energized permits, contractors can eliminate large amounts of paperwork. Better yet, they will soon find that the "energized work permit" is the best place to start for both worker and company safety.
Permit requirements. Section 130.1(A) of 70E was added in the 2004 edition, requiring a permit for any "hot" work. A sample of this permit can be found in the 70E annex. While it was not the intent of 70E to provide a specific permit form, some key elements that need to be included are as follows:
Description of the work to be performed.
Justification for the work.
Proper personal protective clothing (PPE) to be worn.
Results of shock and flash hazard analysis.
Signature of approval by management.
Evidence of completion of job briefing.
Adding permits to the 70E standard was done for several reasons — one of which was to actually discourage or eliminate energized work. Obtaining management's approval and signature to send someone into an energized panel was considered less than likely. For those projects where a signature was obtained, filling out a permit was considered a reminder for qualified electricians to think safety prior to the actual start of work.
Just as with other permits, however, some companies may avoid energized work permits. Why? There are several reasons. For starters, to make sure work is not delayed and profits are not decreased. Many companies and their workers may also feel that purchasing gloves, protective clothing, and insulated tools will reduce their exposure. Although many times it will, this is not always the case. An energized permit takes time, and is widely considered as a bureaucratic step that's not necessarily important. Even though skipping the permit process may create problems with OSHA down the road, the immediate benefit is not quickly perceived. Oftentimes, this mindset stems from lack of information.
Understanding the benefits. To get companies to start an energized permit program, they must see the permit as both simple and beneficial. Using in-house permits will reduce a firm's exposure to workplace injuries and at the same time provide specific documentation of who is capable of working on energized equipment — and who is not.
This documentation is extremely important in case of an accident, when OSHA comes knocking on your door. As companies grow, trying to keep track of electricians can be quite difficult. Think monitoring 10 employees can be tough? Try 50! Add to the mix the chore of figuring out who in that group is qualified, who can work on what system, and who is wearing the proper PPE, and you need a full-time safety director. Furthermore, various pieces of equipment — from load centers and panelboards to motor control centers and service entrance switchgear — can require a whole different level of expertise.
Shortages of electricians can also create problems. As the workload increases, it may be weeks before additional electricians are hired. Non-qualified workers inevitably end up on jobsites by themselves and are unfortunately asked to perform work that is above their pay grade or skill level.
New apprentices are quickly hired and placed in the field with shiny uninsulated screwdrivers and tools that are not voltage rated. New hires are given company-issued safety glasses and hard hats with little or no direction. These same workers can end up in buildings within large downtown electrical grids with high fault current levels at each panel. Do they know the energy levels behind these covers? Are new hires told not to work on energized circuits? Do they know what "qualified" means? Does management know which workers are reaching into energized equipment?
An energized work permit program can answer all of these questions and more. Determining who is qualified should take place prior to handing out PPE and voltage rated tools.
Routine and non-routine energized work permits. After reading 70E for the first time, you may get the impression that energized permits are required for each and every task. However, this is not the case.
According to the commentary in the 70E handbook, routine energized tasks can be grouped under one permit for a longer period of time. To handle these longer timeframes, a variation of the basic permit should be created. For instance, you might want to draft one to cover a one-year period. Companies can alter this timeframe to meet their needs. After one year has passed, management should review worker qualifications to make sure nothing has changed. This review can coincide with a worker's annual performance review, at which time new updated permits can be issued. Specific tasks should be written on the routine permit form so both electrical field workers and management clearly understand what "hot" work is permitted on a daily basis without further scrutiny.
What is considered routine may vary from company to company. One approach can be to consider routine work on panels 400A or less. Work below this threshold typically involves small 15A or 20A breakers of the plug-in type. Panels greater than 400A usually involve larger and more awkward breakers and higher incident energy levels where greater caution should be taken. In either case, a company should determine what it considers "routine."
For all other energized work, a base permit (non-routine) should be used. This permit will cover non-routine electrical tasks and would be only good for as long as it takes to perform that task. Adding feeders into a large piece of gear, replacing 2000A fuses, and adding a bucket into a motor control center are examples of tasks that are not performed daily. A non-routine permit will need to be filled out each time such tasks are performed. This permit must also be signed and filled out by both management and electricians prior starting work.
Implementation of permit program. Once two permit forms have been created, some additional legwork is needed. Management should split electricians or company maintenance personnel into two separate groups: qualified and non-qualified.
There are certain employees in your company who make difficult jobs look easy, always making sound decisions in a clutch. You know, the ones you can leave alone to do almost anything. These are the well-qualified workers. There's another category for non-qualified personnel — the ones who have not quite finished the apprenticeship program or those that do not have the confidence from management in successfully completing "hot" work.
Every company has employees that fit into one of these two categories (see Flow Chart above). After employees are categorized in one of the two categories, employees should be informed of where they fit, allowing them to better understand their roles and capabilities. In addition, supervisors should explain to electricians the necessary steps required for someone to move from the non-qualified to qualified side of the house.
Once your field personnel have been divided into groups, a company meeting should be held to communicate your new approach. Workers should be educated on the difference between routine and non-routine type permits. Electricians should be instructed that "hot" work will only take place with written authorization. A company may have 50 journeyman and apprentice electricians but only 20 of them may be considered qualified. Typing up 20 annual energized permits and keeping them on file will provide documentation that the remaining 30 field workers are not allowed to work on equipment "hot." The company handbook should be updated to reflect this new way of thinking.
One bad electrical incident on one job can take a company down. Understanding this reality reiterates the importance for companies to create documents to keep employees from working in areas they are not trained to be in. While arc flash and incident energies are the buzzwords of today, worker safety starts with training and keeping non-qualified personnel out of harm's way. Labeling qualified workers, creating energized permits, and updating the companies handbook will go a long way to reaching that goal.

The meeting will actually be streamed live from the New York State Senate's website, and viewers can tune in to see the committee members address every issue.
David Bastian of Towne Livery, and member of the Limousine Bus Taxi Operators of Upstate New York, implores local operators to explain to committee members just how the tax has impacted their business and ask the members to help support them in repealing this unfair tax.

Bribon-Movistar Continues To Lead Third Merchbanc Melges 32 Barcelona Series Event
29 January 2012
Marc de Antonio's Spanish Bribon-Movistar won two of today's three races, placing him one point ahead of Series leader, Japanese Team Bros. for the overall lead.
The Melges 32 fleet waited nearly two hours to commence the day. Real Club Nautico de Barcelona's Race Committee signaled for the first start around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Needless to say, the conditions were less than ideal ushering in cold rain and wind for Race 1 of three scheduled heats.
With 6-8 knots of breeze and a course bearing of 015, de Antonio managed a flawless start despite an aggressive field of players. His excellent performance put him ahead for the win. Germany's Christian Soyka aboard FRAM IMMAC took a proud second, Cabinet Manager Jon Obeso was third. Team Bros. struggled scoring fourth.
The breeze maintained steady for Race Two with de Antonio and tactician, Olympic medallist Hugo Rocha, dominating for his second win of the day. Soyka was determined to keep up at a great pace to finish second again, Team Bros. in third.
The last race of the day was by far, the most intense. Soyka suffered a setback due to gear failure enabling Team Bros. to overtake for second at the last windward mark, chasing de Antonio for the overall race lead. The day's final standings put them in front for the event lead, but one point away from the final series lead.
After the day's events, Team Bros. still stands as the leader of the Merchbanc Melges 32 Barcelona Winter Series. Marc de Antonio holds steadfast for second, Soyka is third on the podium.
"Today was a tough day," said Manu Weiller aboard Team Bros. "We have an entirely brand new Japanese crew at this event, though we did improve, little by little. Despite a big change in crew, we expect to continue our circuit lead and keep the edge right on through the last event."
Races on Sunday kick-off at 11.00 where three more windward-leeward races are scheduled.

Wolves Turn In Another Head-Scratcher At NBA Draft
It was a night of surprises Thursday at the NBA Draft, so perhaps it should not be surprising that the Timberwolves had a bizzarre draft of their own.
After watching reported targets Victor Oladipo (Indiana, 2nd overall), Ben McLemore (Kansas, 7th) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Georgia, 8th) all get snapped up before the Wolves picked ninth, Minnesota once again drafted a player for another team and traded down in the draft.
The Wolves selected National Player of the Year Trey Burke, a point guard from Michigan, then immediately traded Burke to the Utah Jazz for the rights to the 14th and 21st overall picks. Shabazz Muhammed (UCLA) was taken with the 14th pick and Gorgui Deng (Louisville) with the 21st.
The Timberwolves then traded the 26th overall pick in the first round to Golden State along with Malcolm Lee for 'cash considerations.'

The new N.C. honey label
The North Carolina State Beekeepers Association's new label certifies that honey meets quality standards. To qualify, honey must be pure and unadulterated.If the producer says it's produced locally, that must be true. If the honey is promoted as coming from a specific floral source, at least 51 percent of the identifiable pollen in the honey must be from the floral source.
"When you see this label, you will know it is good honey and pure," said Danny Jaynes, association president. The association defines honey as the natural, sweet substance produced by honeybees from the nectar of plants. U.S. beekeepers produce about 150 million pounds of honey each year, but demand is much greater. Jaynes says imports provide a strong incentive for brokers to cut corners.

Jan. 13, 2007
LEWISTOWN, Maine - The men's track and field team began the 2007 indoor season in earnest with a decisive victory at the Bates Triangular meet featuring the Bobcats, MIT and Coast Guard. The Engineers totaled 165 points as Bates closed with 101. Coast Guard finished third with 88 points.
Juniors Anthony Teixeira and Omari Stephens switched spots from prelims to finals, but the duo combined for an impressive 1-2 punch in the 55-meter hurdles. Stephens won the last race with a time of 8.20, and later added a first-place finish in the pole vault.
Although the Engineers authored strong performances in a number of races including William Fedus and Aaron Walker's 1-2 finish in the 600, MIT flexed its muscle with tremendous depth in the jumps and distance events.
Sophomore Jake Ruzevick split 4:23.40 and paced a sweep of the top four places in the mile, while MIT grabbed the first five spots in the 3000. Nemagiri Arumugam outdueled fellow rookie Johannes Schneider to win the race in a time of 8:59.85.
Freshman Stephen Morton led a 1-2-3 sweep in the long jump, while the Engineers finished second through fifth in the triple jump. Senior Chris Bateman earned runner-up honors in both events.
Morton was also a repeat winner on Saturday, splitting 22.99 in the 200-meter dash to break the tape.

Memphis City Council members and Shelby County Commissioners are talking about a swap.
A city-county swap would see the Memphis Animal Shelter run by county government if the city would continue funding Memphis police officers in Memphis schools after the merger of Shelby County's two public school systems.
(Daily News File Photo: Lance Murphey)
The Memphis Animal Shelter would be run by county government if the city would continue funding Memphis police officers in Memphis schools after the merger of Shelby County's two public school systems.
But the swap is complicated by ruffled feathers and distrust over the emerging terms of the city's end of funding for auto inspections and the state takeover of the obligation after county government passed on an interlocal agreement to run it.
"It is yet another in a piece of what we see as a regional amenity that is being borne by the citizens of Memphis," council member Shea Flinn told county commissioners last week as he pitched the animal shelter-schools security swap.
Commissioners agreed that the city animal shelter is more than an animal shelter that operates only within Memphis. Pets from across the county are taken there and the county animal shelter has a much more limited role.
"It essentially adds up to a rabies control program," is how Flinn described it.
"We wouldn't have to be considering about a $5 million increase in our budget," County Commission Chairman Mike Ritz said. "I think we can get into the animal shelter business quicker than picking up the schools security business. If we can work out something with the city of Memphis about city schools security … then I think we, the community, would be better off."
Flinn said the cost of each item makes it a wash with a $2.7 million operating cost for the animal shelter and about the same for the part of the city schools resource officers the city of Memphis pays. Some of the cost is also borne by the school system.
–Mike Ritz Shelby County Commission Chairman
And the division between the two is part of the continuing litigation in state court over money the city claims it is owed by Memphis City Schools.
"We've not had any meaningful dialogue with the city on the cost," said county Chief Administrative Officer Harvey Kennedy who added the county administration is willing to explore the idea. "We'd be growing county government, which is kind of the opposite direction we've been trying to go."
"We'd be growing county government if we had to add extra security," Commissioner Steve Mulroy countered.
Meanwhile, communications between the administrations of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. and Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell are a bit strained over the auto inspections issue.
The council voted last year to end all city funding of auto inspections effective June 30, the end of the current fiscal year, to force the long-running issue of requiring auto inspections for city car owners only.
Luttrell began talking with state officials at the Department of Environment and Conservation, including Commissioner Robert J. Martineau Jr., about the state taking over the inspection process rather than the county doing it.
And what emerged was a state plan to take over inspections, charge city car owners a fee for the inspections and keep inspections a requirement for city car owners only for at least a year, possibly two.
In a March 25 letter to some county commissioners, Wharton said he was "extremely disappointed" in the arrangement.
"Curing this inequity is not complicated," he wrote, saying commissioners representing districts in Memphis should "stand together and require that county residents pay their fair share.
Kennedy termed the letter "a little pejorative."
"The city is clearly not happy about this," he said. "There was no agreement that was reached between the county and the state in this particular regard. We told them where we were. … They are in fact implementing the program."
Kennedy also said there is no truth to reports that the state would keep the auto inspections a city-only requirement for six years.
"That was never mentioned once. He did not give us a specific time," Kennedy said of Martineau. "But he did give us reason to believe that some time out in the future they would probably consider expanding the program countywide."
County Commissioner Sidney Chism said the chain of swaps that are a realignment of which government does what is waiting on the city to act and has been discussed for months.

If we had a cable access show, I'd include a segment called, That's Totally Euro!, and feature photos like this with a discussion of what makes that Euro. A Lamborghini with a Pinarello on top, going to a Gran Fondo. Yep, that's as Euro as it gets. Anodized derailleur pulleys with matching skewers, uh huh, we've got photos of that next week.
For now, we'll just do the feature here on the blog and for some background see the Euro code of Conduct. With the Tour of California starting and lots of Euros racing and fans posing in the crowd, we're on the watch. Please send us your Euro spottings.
