"I am very proud of this recruiting class and I commend the hard work of my assistant coaches Clay Greene and Maynard McClarrinon, along with former assistant coach Nate Goulet," Skole said. "Clay and Mac were outstanding in evaluating this class and developing relationships with each recruit. The enormous time and effort they put into developing this class will become very apparent when our team hits the field in the future."
The Bucs posted their first winning season since 1999 in 2005, and parlayed the momentum from last season's success into this year's stellar class.
"This is an important class as we continue to solidify our program as we are coming off the most successful season of ETSU Baseball in the last 23 years," Skole said. "With the loss of seven quality seniors and facing the potential of some of our juniors to leaving early because of next June's Major League Draft, it was important that we attracted some talented individuals.
"And as happy as I am about the wealth of baseball talent in this class, I am even more pleased at what fine young men have chosen to be a part of the growing tradition of State Baseball. I am very excited about this season but look forward to the day when I can welcome all of these new Bucs to campus.
"This class will play a significant, important role in the future of State Baseball. Our coaching staff feels that this group will not only help maintain the high standards and level of play of the ETSU Baseball program, but will also help further enhance our goal of bringing home our first Atlantic Sun Championship."
The Bucs open their 2006 season February 3 at home against

The entire breakout changed once Detroit rolled out the 2-3 neutral zone trap. I saw the Penguins The Penguins cut into it better than they did at any point in the year. Bylsma tried it himself later in the game but sadly the Wings turned it up, went out of the trap, and started pressing offensively where they exposed Scuderi and the 4th line once again.
The Penguins ran their breakout from deep in their own end with puck support to boot. No stretch pass unless the opportunity presented itself.
Yea but what about Craig Adams?
He isn't very good. Neither is Adam Payerl.
Adams is god-awful bad. He has zero ability left, and he never has much to begin with. If you notice the Penguins bottled up in their own end for the most part you will see Craig Adams at center. His skating had gotten to the level of atrocious. He has had any number of wingers on the 4th line with him, and invariably that line cannot get out of their own end.
I understand that we have other 4th line issues on wing. I get that he is not playing with the best 4th line wingers in the game, but the bottom line is that he cannot handle the defensive and offensive responsibilities of a 4th line center.

The fourth-annual Festival of the Fly returns to the Skylight Theatre and Pub Feb. 21 for an evening of hanging out with fellow backcasters and watching some of the most cutting-edge fish porn ever created.
The event — a fundraiser for Friends of the White Salmon River — features 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. showings of GeoFish, a recently released feature-length film about a group of guys on the adventure fishing trip of a lifetime through South America.
"It's the kind of movie where you don't even want to get up to get a beer," said event organizer Chris Ellison. For stunning high-definition GeoFish previews, see www.vimeo.com/motivfishing.
Festival of the Fly was started in 2009 in memory of avid local fisherman Glen Haack, who passed away that same year.
Ellison said of Haack, "He was a legendary local fisherman who was willing to share his knowledge with anyone on the river. If you were a fisherman, you were his friend; and being his friend was a pleasure."
The $20 ticket fee gets each person 10 raffle tickets (additional tickets are $1 each) that will be drawn for prizes ranging from fishing gear, rods and reels, dinner and hotel packages to the top prize, two Sage One rods that retail for close to $1,000 each.
"We have some pretty sweet raffle prizes thanks to our local business friends," Ellison said. "We try to keep this an all-local event; all the stuff in the raffle can be purchased locally. And the funds we raise go to the Friends of the White Salmon, which does work on local rivers.
Businesses sponsors include Andrew's Pizza, Gorge Fly Shop, Full Sail Brewing, Kayak Shed, Food Services of America, Morgan Distributing, Lemma Wines, Sage & Redington, Tom Larimer Guide Service and Dick Halverson.
Formed in 1976, FWSR is an all-volunteer advocacy group with the mission to protect the White Salmon River and its watershed in order to restore and preserve the river and riparian habitats.

We are visiting the Henry Dang memorial site in Windsor Locks tomorrow night after our meeting. I don't know about you guys, but this whole thing is really getting to me and I feel like I need to pay my respects. If you haven't been reading the news, the 24 year old police officer (still attached to his daddy's teat) is pleading NOT GUILTY to manslaughter charges.
Donations are welcome! If you'd like, please bring your sentiments to Real Art Ways tomorrow from 7pm-9pm. We'll place them at the memorial for you. It would be nicer if you could join us!

There was a similar story years ago. A drunk cop driving 100 mph hit a woman's car and killed her. No breathalizer done, but one cop came forward and testified that he smelled booze on the guy. The department made this honest man's life hell afterward. This really needs to stop!ReplyDelete
We will be arriving at the site around 10-10:30pm!ReplyDelete

NFL.com is reporting this guy ran a 4.19 in his pro day. He's said to have more to his game than just speed. I don't see him catching the ball in stride a lot in the highlight reel below. But, seems like he catches the ball well. He's going to get some attention now. Sinkfield's the name, and not even made up on Madden.

Then what was the point of showing Snake's flames in the second opening for season 2 then if there was going to be no further development for Yuji before he becomes awesome in the last few episodes?

However, there is no way that we know what was going on J.C.'s mind at that scene, but I believe it's just a background to dark the scene a little bit in reflection with Shana's feelings.

Anyways, it would be great to have the updated future episode titles and summaries for Episode 5 to 10 here.
Edit: My earlier comment could be wrong. The title of Episode 5 is correct, but its summary seems to be a reflection and review of Episode 4, rather than an actual summary of Episode 5. Again, all of these are just my opinion.

Apply for Student Loans
Considering Borrowing?
Student loans are a helpful part of paying for college. Most students use at least some student loans. The key, however, is to remember that they are loans and treat them as such. The bottom line is that you will have to pay them back once you stop attending school. Not paying them back as agreed can ruin your credit and add legal woes to your life.
There are many factors to consider as you decide:
- How to borrow smart
- Loan limits and what they mean
- Repayment, interest rates, and how it works
- Avoiding default
Required Information Before Borrowing
You will be required to review the loan section before borrowing. You should also meet with your financial aid counselor. This appointment will make understanding loans easier and faster!

Polaris snowmobile racers will enjoy the competitive advantages of the innovative new 2014 Polaris IQ race sled that features a new lightweight crankshaft and new 128-inch rear suspension. These improvements and other updates to the race sled are designed to provide Polaris racers with better holeshot performance, enhanced throttle response, improved traction and greater stability in the rough for terrain domination.
The new 2014 Polaris IQ race sled is the result of integrated collaboration among Polaris snocross and cross country racers, race team personnel and Polaris snowmobile engineers. Together, they developed the new features and validated them through extensive testing that included use in selected races last season.
The Polaris Racing Department has historically led the industry in developing innovative racing technology that "Wins on Sunday, Sells on Monday," including legendary Polaris IFS, powerful 2-stroke engines and more.
"This season's race sled is the refinement of a legendary vehicle, with a focus on holeshot and throttle response improvements," Matt Prusak, Race Program Leader in the Polaris Snowmobile Division, said. "The benefits will be seen by snocross and cross country racers alike."
Polaris Race Manager Tom Rager, Jr., said racers and teams have been impressed with the performance of the new race sled in testing and on-track evaluations.
"The industry's only purpose-built race sled just keeps getting better and better," Rager said. "A lot of the sled's development credit goes to several of our riders, Ross Martin in particular, who tested it and made it so good."
Feature Updates on the 2014 Polaris IQ Race Sled
Re-engineered elements of the 2014 Polaris IQ Race Sled include:
NEW Lightweight Crankshaft
The new lightweight crankshaft features a design that provides the same balance as the previous crankshaft-with a 2.5-pound weight reduction in rotating mass.
This results in a 25 percent reduction in inertia, improved throttle response and increased acceleration. Racers will achieve better holeshots, and the engine will reach its optimal operating rpm faster.
NEW 128-inch Rear Suspension
Polaris racers will benefit from the increased traction of the new 128-inch rear suspension and new 128-inch track. This new setup delivers better holeshots, better stability in whoops sections, and improved cornering.
Similar to the setup that Polaris teams have raced with great success in the Mod class for more than four seasons, this new rear suspension is based on the original IQ race geometry, with new rail beams and tunnel components to package the longer track length. The 2014 Polaris IQ Race Sled utilizes an aggressive new 128-inch Sno-XT track.
"Along with delivering an improved holeshot, the new rear suspension tracks straighter in the whoops sections, and results in less ski lift for enhanced turning," Prusak said. "Our cross country racers in particular will benefit from the improved high-speed stability."
Along with the new 128-inch rear suspension, additional improvements were made to enhance performance and reliability.
Updated Shock Calibration
Polaris engineers, race teams and the technicians at Walker Evans Racing have combined forces to recalibrate the Walker Evans shocks used in the race sled's front and rear suspension. The updates are designed to ensure consistently outstanding performance from green flag to checkered on demanding terrain such as extreme snocross tracks.
NEW Brake Pads
The new Hayes Type 126 brake pads were developed to deliver consistently reliable braking as brake systems heat up during aggressive racing action. Racers will also see an improvement in brake pad life.
NEW MY14 Racing Graphics
While Polaris racing teams will customize their sleds with team graphics, racing numbers and sponsor logos, they'll start with a new look that features a white hood, red belly pan, accents of red, white and blue, and Polaris graphics. The 2014 race sled also has a low white windshield.
Race-Winning Power and Suspension
The 2014 IQ Race Sled is built on the strong, durable and lightweight Polaris-exclusive IQ chassis. Advanced assembly techniques minimize the parts count to keep weight to a minimum while delivering maximum strength and reliability.
The race sled is powered by the Polaris Liberty 600 engine. It delivers class-leading acceleration for outstanding holeshots as well as impressive horsepower across the entire rpm range.
The liquid-cooled Polaris Liberty 600 twin has twin Mikuni Rack TM 40 carburetors, NiCaSil lined cylinders for efficient heat dispersion and the Polaris VES (Variable Exhaust System) for maximum power and instant throttle response. The power delivery is managed by the legendary Polaris P-85 drive clutch and a lightweight Team Roller driven clutch.
Polaris racers can fine-tune their front and rear suspension performance with the Walker Evans 16-click compression-adjustable shocks. The race sled's IFS uses Walker Evans Aluminum IFP 16 Position Compression Adjustable Shocks with piggyback reservoirs.
Recreational riders can enjoy the same outstanding IFS as Polaris racers, as the race sled's IFS design is used on Polaris Switchback models and on RUSH models built on the Pro Ride chassis.
In the IQ rear suspension, the front track shock is a Walker Evans Coil Over Shock with 16-position compression adjustability and the rear track shock is a Walker Evans Aluminum IFP 16 Position Compression and Rebound Adjustable Large Body Shock.
The new Polaris IQ Race Sled was developed for use by Polaris snocross and cross country racers. The suspension and shock packages described here are intended primarily for snocross racing and the Polaris Racing Department is providing cross country racers with shock tuning information and setup recommendations for terrain racing.

Late last year, Ubuntu announced it would bring the open source operating system to mobile devices. Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth said Ubuntu will soon be found on "tablets, phones, TVs and smart screens from the car to the office kitchen, and it will connect those devices cleanly and seamlessly to the desktop, the server and the cloud."
Much debate has followed Ubunto's mobile strategy, the general consensus being that its loyal followers and fans of Linux everywhere are the least interested in testing this technology. Still, doubt over how well it would compete against that other open source, Linux-based option (a little something called Android) remains.
Since the announcement, Ubuntu has been relatively quiet about its mobile and smart device progress, until very recently.
Ubuntu TV: Coming soon… maybe
At CES earlier this month, Canonical introduced the Ubuntu smart TV interface. "Ubuntu TV is a vision of how TV will work in the future. With no cables, no boxes and no hassles, the goal is to uncomplicated television for the average viewer while delivering to him or her all the services and options that they are becoming used to," the company said. The system allows you not only to watch broadcast or streaming content, but also to access your own media files as well, via the cloud. It's built into your TV, not available from a box-top or separate device. Also, there is no browser option, something Ubuntu doesn't believe belongs in the television.
But like every other company trying to break into the connected TV segment, there are some very big barriers. And like its competitors, Ubuntu is going to have a hard time breaking them down. Content rights holders have become notoriously difficult to strike deals with, and manufacturing partners can be tricky to nail down.
Working in its favor is the fact that Ubuntu wants nothing more than to be the operating system for your TV. It has no plans to get into content production (like Google has done with YouTube), or develop its own app or other content distribution platform (which comes tied to Apple products). Ubuntu's service steps on fewer toes than some of its major competitors do.
"From a cost perspective as well as a 'make the life of the manufacturer' easy perspective, Ubuntu will be a solid contender," Ubuntu expert and author of Ubuntu Unleashed 2012 Edition: Covering 11.10 and 12.04 (7th edition) Matthew Helmke tells us. "Companies like Vizio, that make smart TVs with pretty cool software and interfaces, could be able to offload some of their development expenses and in-house programming burden."
Still, Ubuntu TV, for the moment, largely remains conceptual. There isn't so much of a hint as to a shipping date, and if there are any manufacturing partners, both parties are keeping quiet about it. But in true Ubuntu form, there are instructions on how you can make your own Ubuntu-supported smart TV.
New interface design
While the announcement of Ubuntu TV definitely has a certain flash appeal to it, a new display interface deserves just as much attention. Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth recently blogged about the change, called the Head-up Display (or HUD) that does away with the menu and tries to better reflect how the human brain works.
"We noticed that [new as well as established] users spent a lot of time, relatively speaking, navigating the menus of their applications, either to learn about the capabilities of the app, or to take a specific action," he says. "We were also conscious of the broader theme in Unity design of leading from user intent. And that set us on a course which lead to today's first public milestone on what we expect will be a long, fruitful and exciting journey."
In order to execute commands, the HUD interface eliminates the need to scroll through menus, instead giving users immediate control over the applications they are using. Watch the video demo below to get a look at HUD in action.
Now HUD is definitely meant for the desktop in many respects — Shuttleworth specifically mentions that, saying, "The desktop remains central to our everyday work and play, despite all the excitement around tablets, TVs and phones." However, there's great potential for how this fast and accessible system could translate to Ubuntu for mobile devices. Helmke agrees: "I think HUD will be wonderful on mobile. It is faster than using menus, which are terrible for mobile devices anyway."
And the innovation that Ubuntu has planned for mobile will interact seamlessly with this new approach. "Once the promised voice interface is completely, HUD will be hard to beat."

The area of Minnesota's landscape in severe to extreme drought diminished during February, dropping from 84% of the state's landscape to under 70%. This modest improvement was mostly due to above-normal snowfall, especially across central and northern counties.
The new climate outlooks from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center suggest that, for much of March, the Great Lakes region will see above-normal precipitation. This is welcome news in the context of improving our drought situation, especially if we can lose the soil frost as well so the ground is more receptive to moisture recharge. In some areas, frost depth ranges from 20 to 40 in.; this will take some time to thaw out.
One potential risk of a wetter-than-normal March is the threat of flooding from snow melt. Last week, the National Weather Service updated the spring flood outlook for major Minnesota rivers. This new outlook calls for a near-normal risk of spring snow melt flooding on portions of the Upper Minnesota River, as well as the Upper Mississippi River. This is mostly due to more abundant snowfalls during February, along with deeper ground frost, which combined to elevate the risk of spring flooding from a below-normal level to a near-normal level. You can read more about the spring flooding outlook and keep up to date here: http://1.usa.gov/VZTAQn
Spring flood outlook probabilities for the Red River are also available from the Grand Forks NWS Office. These show a relatively higher risk of flooding on the lower end of the Red River Valley between Wapehton and Fargo, N.D. You can get more detail at: http://1.usa.gov/YPUb69
The higher risk of flooding along the Red River is because the abundant snow cover already contains 2 to 5 in. of liquid water trapped on top of frozen ground there. A rapid thaw could cause a great volume of runoff before the soils are capable of absorbing the moisture. If this situation develops and is further compounded by heavy March rainfalls, then indeed this area of the state could see some moderate to major flooding. Thus state and federal agencies will monitor the gauged flow volumes on the rivers, as well as the weather very carefully during the month of March.

Canucks Roster Decisions
One of the more pleasant surprises at Vancouver Canucks camp this year has been the play of 2009 first round pick Jordan Schroeder. After a lackluster training camp last year and an average year in the AHL, Schroeder is reminding people why he was considered at one point a top 10 draft pick before falling to the Canucks at 22 with a stunning training camp.
The diminutive American has one goals and two assists in four pre-season games, showing good chemistry with fellow first rounder Niklas Jensen, and has been turning heads with his vastly improved offensive game while proving he isn't a passenger in the defensive zone.
The secret to Schroeder's turnaround? Intense offseason training with Zach Parise.
If the Canucks were healthy this would merely be a feel-good story where the organization and fans smile at his improvement and wish him success in Chicago, but with Ryan Kesler, Mason Raymond and possibly Manny Malhotra out to start the year, there is room for a few players to take advantage of an extended look in October and Schroeder is in that conversation.
Excluding the three injured Canucks, there are only 8 forwards that are a lock to make the team.
The Sedins and Burrows will return to form the first line, Sturm/Higgins/Samuelsson/Hansen will be the wingers for the second and third lines, and Lapierre will centre the fourth line.
The major role to be filled in October is the second line center spot vacated by Kesler, and while former 1st round pick Cody Hodgson may be the frontrunner in camp currently, there is still a shot for Schroeder to earn a few looks.
The fourth line wings meanwhile are also vacant and while AV has stated his preference for crashers and bangers, the injury to Pinizzotto combined with the lackluster play of Mancari, Duco, and Victor Oreskovich may force Vigneault's hand.
The depth of the Canucks affords them the luxury of not relying on prospects to hit their potentials in order for the team to find success yet it may be worthwhile to find out exactly how much Schroeder has improved under his training partner Parise.
It's a low risk/high reward situation in an era where rookies playing above their entry level cap hits have proven to be very very valuable.
At the least, some more time with the big club can only help Schroeder and the Canucks in the future.

by Carole Verona
Andy Warhol once said, "In the future everybody will be famous for 15 minutes."
Well, Christy Meltzer, 44, is certainly getting her 15 minutes of fame. Her picture appears on a billboard overlooking the Pennsylvania Turnpike where it crosses Second Street Pike in Lower Bucks County, on posters prominently placed in the Willow Grove and Montgomery Malls, in local newspaper ads, on the elevator doors at Abington Memorial Hospital (AMH), on the hospital's website and in "Touching Your Life," a magazine that the hospital publishes for consumers. "I'm popping up everywhere," Meltzer said. "My friends are saying that they're getting tired of looking at me!"
But Meltzer's journey to this new-found fame wasn't easy or planned. It started on the morning of Tuesday, April 17, 2012, while she was out for a routine early-morning run. "All of a sudden, a minute or two into the run, I got a severe headache. I know people who get migraines, and I thought, 'So this is what it must feel like.' I continued running for another couple of minutes and then felt a sensation of heat over my head and down my neck. I started vomiting, and that's when I stopped at a friend's house. I didn't think it was serious. I thought I had food poisoning because I had eaten blackberries in the morning when I was preparing the kids' lunches."
Christy's friend called Meltzer's husband, Andy, who was at home getting the kids ready for school. He rushed over and took her to AMH's Emergency Trauma Center. Looking back, Meltzer said that they should have called 911 to transport her to the hospital. "What if something had happened to me in the car?"
Within three hours of Meltzer's arrival at Abington, doctors performed a life-saving procedure to fix a ruptured aneurysm in her brain.
"Christy presented with some of the classic signs of a ruptured aneurysm," said Qaisar A. Shah, M.D., director of Neuerointerventional and Neurocritical Care Services, in an article about her in "Touching Your Life." A CAT (Computer Axial Tomography) scan confirmed the diagnosis and showed that a ballooned artery in Meltzer's brain had burst, causing life-threatening bleeding.
Meltzer said that the doctors explained to her that there are two procedures to correct an aneurysm. One is minimally invasive, and the other involves opening the skull to go in and make the necessary repairs. She said she didn't know which procedure they were going to do. "I was a little nervous, but mostly I was calm," she said. "I think I was more shocked than anything else. I just couldn't believe it. I didn't think anything bad was going to happen to me. I knew it was going to be fine. It had to be!"
After doctors determined that Christy was a candidate for the noninvasive procedure, Neurointerventionalist Osman Kozak, M.D., inserted a catheter (a small tube) into Christy's groin and guided it up to blood vessels in her brain. Informed by what he saw on x-rays, Dr. Kozak was able to pinpoint the exact location of the aneurysm, direct a mircocatheter inside it and insert six small platinum coils. As quoted in "Touching Your Life," he explained, "We pack the aneurysm with coils to cut the blood entering into it. By clotting the blood inside the aneurysm, we also keep it from growing."
After the procedure, Meltzer spent eight days in the Intensive Care Unit — she was up and walking the day after the procedure — and then spent some time on one of the regular hospital floors before she was discharged. Two weeks after getting home, she returned to her part-time job as a billing clerk at Met Speed Label in Levittown.
Meltzer lives in Southampton with her husband, Andy, a sales representative at DMI Sports in Fort Washington. They have two children: Nicholas, 12, and twins Chelsea and A.J., 9.
What did the kids think about all of this? "They didn't say much; they were just happy that I was going to be OK. They were spoiled! They were very well taken care of by their friends' parents and by people in the neighborhood. There was an outpouring of love from people you wouldn't expect it from," Christy said.
Meltzer is physically fit. In addition to running three to four miles several times a week, she also does Pilates and skiing. Dr. Shah believes Christy's physical fitness was a contributing factor to her quick recovery.
So what caused the aneurysm? "It's just something that happens. I could have been born with it. I could have had it for years and years and years," she said. Meltzer will continue to get yearly check-ups to make sure there's no growth. She said there's less than a five percent chance that will happen.
Meltzer said her experience has not changed her outlook on life. "It's a blessing that I'm still alive, but my life hasn't changed one bit. I'm still doing the same old stuff!"

text: Precision Production on Cattle Operations March 6, 2014 07:13 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Precision agriculture is not a new concept. Row crop farms commonly use precision agriculture technologies to selectively apply inputs to areas of fields according to relevant measured variables. Precision agriculture is sometimes called site-specific crop management or satellite farming because it relies on computerized mapping systems and global positioning system satellites that measure and respond to variations among and within fields at specific sites. Farmers incorporate global positioning systems and various sensors in farming practices to do things like vary by location the amount of fertilizer spread based on factors such as soil fertility levels. The usefulness of precision agriculture systems is that they put resources where they are most needed. They also cumulate vast amounts of information about a farm that can be used for both documentation and planning purposes. So how can cattle operations adopt precision agriculture concepts to improve production practices? In a nutshell, precision production involves putting the right amounts and types of inputs in the right places at the right times. It is easy to argue that doing this on a cattle operation would be beneficial, and here is the catch, so long as the costs are not overwhelming. Face it --- a fully equipped cab tractor ready for variable-rate action is not cheap. Although it may not be cost effective for a typical small cattle operation to make the often sizeable capital investments in high-end farming equipment with variable rate capabilities as readily found in row crop operations, precision agriculture practices can still be adapted to ranch settings. Application #1: Soil fertility Soil fertility management is a major emphasis in row crop precision agriculture applications, and forage-based cattle production can take a page from that playbook. Wouldn't it be nice to cut the fertilizer bill and yet still get great forage yield and quality results to fertilizer applications? To justify large capital investments in variable-rate capable equipment, the production operation must be of sufficient size and the savings in input costs and improved production over time significant enough to pay back the equipment and technology bills and then some. For the many small cattle herds in production, this is probably not realistic. But for the large acreage operations that do not skimp on fertilizer applications and general forage management, it is worth penciling expense and income projections out on paper to see if it is worth pursuing. The small operations are not left completely out of using precision practices in managing soil fertility though. The scale and degree of precision does not have to approach that of the row crop precision agriculture systems to still hold economic and environmental value for cattle operations. Lesser improvements are worthwhile as well. Manual soil testing and identification of nutrient management zones within these operations is doable and advisable before applying fertilizer. In a sense, the longstanding extension recommendation of soil testing to determine fertilizer application needs is a rough version of precision agriculture. Inputs (various types of fertilizers) are applied when needed to specific locations (land areas represented by soil samples) based on data collected and analyzed (soil testing results). Application #2: Matching sires to breeding females How can animal breeding practices be considered precision production management? The key here is matching. If sires are appropriately matched to subsets of females within herds, then the right amounts of inputs (his heritable traits) are applied to specific production assets (selected herd females as opposed to field in the previous example) at the right time based on data collected and analyzed (up-to-date herd performance information and genetic merit predictions or EPDs). To put it simply, sires are selected to match the genetic improvement needs of the breeding groups on which they are used. The greater the in-herd variation, the more likely that using multiple sires specifically matched to breeding management groups (groups of cows or heifers within the breeding herds that are somewhat similar in performance levels of economically relevant traits) will be beneficial. Herds that are fairly consistent in their genetic makeup might be effectively mated in fewer breeding groups than a less consistent herd. If one group of cows needs a terminal sire to improve growth traits, while another group of cows in the same herd already performs very well for growth but lags expectations for carcass merit, then it makes good sense to separate out these breeding groups based on their genetic improvement needs and mate them accordingly. A word of caution needs to be added here. If precision mating is taken too far, i.e., every female in the herd is bred to a different sire, then the value of this practice is tempered with some drawbacks. It is difficult to determine how well a sire worked in a herd if he was only mated to one or a few cows. Think meaningful contemporary groups here. Logistically speaking, a 40-cow herd cannot afford to use a multitude of natural service sires because the cost of each bull is not spread out over enough females (although artificial insemination makes using many different sires more feasible). In addition, likely there are not enough separate pastures on that size of operation to accommodate excessive breeding management groups either. Application #3: Labor scheduling and management Ever notice that retail stores tend to have more employees working during peak business days and times than during less busy periods? This is not by accident. These stores know that they need enough workers on hand at any given time to effectively operate, but they do not want to overstaff and get stuck paying for more worker hours than they really need. Again, the right amounts (worker numbers) and types (managers, clerks, etc.) of inputs are applied (scheduled to work) at the right times based on information collected and analyzed (past customer load history and projections of future customer loads). Cattle operations can do the same thing, regardless of size. Cattle production is seasonal by nature. For cow-calf operations, there is breeding season, calving season, weaning time, etc. For stocker operations, there are receiving, warm-up, stockering, and shipping periods. There are times of year that hay and grain based supplement are constantly put out for herds and other times during which cattle rely on pasture and mineral and vitamin supplement alone. Given this, it is reasonable to staff cattle operations based on the anticipated work load. Even operations that only hire temporary help should take advantage of precision scheduling of these workers based upon operational labor requirements. One caveat to this it that a high-value worker may not be willing to do just seasonal or part-time work and will only come on board if full-time employment is promised. Besides scheduling workers based on operational labor needs, these workers must be properly managed to ensure that they accomplish desired tasks within specified time frames. Keep workers busy with preplanned and meaningful tasks. That way paid labor hours are not wasted. Adoption of Precision Practices So although precision agriculture is for now generally associated with row crop operations, it is relevant and useful to cattle operations today. Many other beef cattle production examples besides the ones presented here can make good use of the concept of precision application of inputs. An underlying theme in all of these applications is to base input use decisions on good information. Taking it a step further, monitoring and evaluation of precision practices over time should be done to refine management decisions. With further advancements in technology and affordable access to these technologies, the high-tech, row crop only practices of today may become commonplace on the cattle operations of the future. In the meantime, look for opportunities to put present technologies and their underlying concepts to work on the cattle operations of today. Back to news

NORTON, Mass. – MIT men's soccer defeated Wheaton, 1-0, in overtime of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) championship quarterfinals. Sophomore Nick Diamantoni (Belle Mead, N.J.) scored the golden goal in the 96th minute following a cross from junior Andrew Fijan (Westchester, Pa.). The Engineers will advance to the semifinals where they will play Babson, the second year in a row that the two teams have met at NEWMACs.
MIT had its first chance at a goal in the first minute of play when freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) shot and hit the crossbar, setting the fast pace of the game right from the beginning. The Cardinal and Gray outshot the Lyons, 6-4, in the first half, keeping goalie Jeff Paer on his toes, while freshman keeper Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.) saw little action.
The Engineers picked up the intensity in the second half, outshooting Wheaton, 15-6, but only four of them were dangerous enough to bring Paer out of the cage to make a save. Diamantoni and sophomore John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) both had promising shots at a goal a few seconds apart in the 89th minute, but were thwarted by Paer. Amereno had to make two saves within a few minutes of each other. With no time left on the clock and no goals on the board, the game went into overtime.
Bingham took the only shot in the overtime period, which was saved by the Lyons. With less than four minutes remaining in the 10 minute period, Diamantoni scored his fifth goal of the season, ending the game with an MIT victory of 1-0.
MIT will next travel to Wellesley, Mass. to play Babson at the NEWMAC semifinals on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 10:30 a.m.

In one nimble move, House Republicans on Friday appear to have extricated themselves from a self-made political trap that threatened the U.S. economy -- and their hold on the House.
The trap was the hard-line position many House Republicans had taken on raising the debt ceiling. I've written repeatedly about how hard it is to defend not raising the borrowing limit, regardless of how strongly you feel about the mounting U.S. debt. To put it simply, the time to exercise fiscal discipline is when Congress is pulling out the federal credit card, not when the bill comes due. And it's dangerously foolish to assume that investors won't react badly if the federal government stiffs only some of its creditors, as some in the GOP (and many of the commenters on this site) contend.
On Friday, House GOP leaders announced at the end of a three-day confab that they will bring a bill to the floor next week to raise the debt ceiling enough to cover three months' worth of government operations. The move, if endorsed by the Senate and signed by President Obama, wouldn't end the all-consuming debate in Washington over spending. But it would place the fight in a much different context.

OMAK OMAK – Stampede officials say they're investigating reports that the event's hired security force was overly heavy-handed with rodeo fans.
During their Aug. 26 meeting, board members said they want to hear about problems people encountered.
Several board members said they felt left in the dark about the situation and learned of it by reading a story in the Sunday edition of The Chronicle or from people in the community.
"We need to know this, as a board," Director Connie Thomas said.
Stampede Vice President Leon Hoover said once the beer garden was closed during Saturday night's storm, Phoenix personnel tried to push people quickly through vendor row since the storm also took vendors by surprise. They were trying to secure their merchandise and stalls.
"I applaud that you're investigating," Omak City Administrator Ralph Malone told the board. "There were some issues."
He said Phoenix "turned this around three years ago" by providing better security than the previous company, "but they seemed to be more aggressive this year."
There were some misunderstandings the previous night in the beer garden, which is operated by Okanogan-Omak Rotary Club for Stampede, Malone said.
Phoenix personnel apparently told Rotarians a bit after 10 p.m. that the security team was leaving at 11 p.m. and that Rotary could do its "last call" any time before then, he said. Some interpreted that to mean they had to close up right away.
In an interview late last week, Malone said "some reliable people have expressed dismay about Phoenix. They seemed to be way over the top in how they dealt with people."
Phoenix, which has provided security during the rodeo for the past three years, has helped cut down on reports of problems on the grounds during the rodeo, Stampede President George Dunckel said.
The company's employees are authorized to carry Tasers and guns, and use handcuffs.
Frank Lay, owner of Omak Marine, 128 Columbia St., said last week that he and Jerame Paul, Okanogan, were handcuffed and detained for more than an hour after they sought shelter from a downpour during a thunderstorm after the Saturday night Stampede performance Aug. 10.
On Sunday afternoon, former Stampede queen Shauna Beeman was escorted from the arena by around 10 armed security guards. She said they told her Stampede officials didn't want her on the grounds.
Lay, 54, and Paul, 27, said they were in the arena beer garden after the rodeo when the storm hit.
Because of all the rain and lightning, Hoover said he made the call to shut down the beer garden.
Lay said nearly 20 other people took shelter under an awning outside a locked arena gate, with the intent of waiting out the worst of the storm.
As they huddled under the awning, three or four Phoenix Protective Corp. security workers approached them and told them to "get the hell out of there," Lay said.
He said he replied with similar language and they said to "get the old guy with the cap."
Paul came to his aid, but said he was wrestled to the ground, face down in the mud. At the urging of Lay's wife, they finally let Paul up.
Another woman was pulled from a porta-potty, Lay said.
Lay and Paul were handcuffed and taken to Phoenix's security tent, where they were held and interrogated for an hour to an hour and a half, they said. Another woman also was handcuffed after trying to convince the guards to let them go, Lay said.
They said the guards accused them of assault and trespassing. No charges were filed.
Lay and Paul eventually were released. A short while later, the Omak Police Department showed up.
Sgt. Jeff Koplin said officers didn't witness the situation, but did take statements afterward.
Lay's wife, Sandy, talked to Dunckel and others the next day and tried to find the Phoenix guards who were involved. She talked to another guard, who Frank Lay said was rude to her.
Dunckel said Stampede representatives are trying to schedule a meeting with Phoenix to discuss the complaints. He said he wasn't on the grounds when Lay and the others were detained, nor has he talked to them.
"We need some answers, just like anyone else," he said in an interview.
Phoenix personnel did not reply to a Chronicle request for comment.
It's unclear exactly what powers private security guards have. State law addresses licensing, but has little to say about powers of detention and arrest, or how they can be armed.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers, who was awakened in the middle of the night by a woman who witnessed Lay and Paul's detention, said security guards' authority depends on their training.
"Some security are just that, security, and if something happens they call the police. Some security can be armed if they receive the training," he said.
Malone said he understands Phoenix can detain but not arrest, and that Stampede gives the company direction.
Although the city owns the park and Stampede Arena, it has not gotten involved with Stampede's choice of security personnel.
"I think there is general authority as an agent of the property owner/manager to trespass a person using reasonable force, (such as) escort from the premises, or subject to a search as a condition of being on the premises, and/or to detain for investigation of a theft," county Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Clay Hill said.
"Beyond that, detention for any length of time would have to be for under common law authority to make a citizens arrest. This requires both a crime occurring in (the) guard's presence and a crime that is of a nature that it could be described as a breach of the peace."
For example, he said security guards can break up a fight and detain people until law enforcement arrives.
"Detaining indefinitely or where there is no breach of the peace occurring is not a viable option," he said.
In another incident, Beeman, a volunteer and former Stampede board member, said she was escorted from the grounds toward the end of the Sunday rodeo by armed Phoenix personnel, who claimed she'd been issued a "no-trespassing" letter requiring her to stay off the grounds.
She said she had to take her horses through the Suicide Race Owners and Jockeys Association paddock, where she wasn't supposed to be, and leave behind her 12-year-old daughter, Riata Marchant.
Beeman said she'd been in the timed event area because she provided horses for visiting royalty and helped with the Parade of Flags. Her daughter was a rider in the parade.
Beeman said she had not received a no-trespassing letter, but blames several board members for having her removed in an apparent holdover from disagreements last year, in which she and her mother, Karmen, were booted off the board and her sister, Jackie Richter, quit.
"This type of force was really not called for," she wrote in a letter to the Stampede board.
Stampede Director Jeff Demmitt, who works with the royalty program, said credentials to bring the horse onto the grounds were issued to another person, but Beeman showed up with them.
In the future, "we will have a list of who's supposed to be there, with no transfer of passes," he said.
"There are certain areas people can be in. If you don't have authority, badges, proper credentials, you can't be there," Hoover said. "That goes for anybody, even directors."
Lay, Paul and Beeman apparently weren't the only ones to have run-ins with Phoenix personnel. Lay said he heard another man, who has been a Stampede volunteer in the past, was handcuffed and made to sign a paper saying he wouldn't come on the grounds again during the rodeo or during next year's event.
Malone said he was told that people who weren't bothering anyone were accused by Phoenix of being intoxicated.

Back on upswing, 'everything feels right' for Reddick
BOSTON -- It's been several years since Josh Reddick was the rookie in the corner.
That was in a veteran-laden Red Sox clubhouse, where the scrawny outfielder simply tried to blend in and "be the shadow to all those guys," he said.
BOSTON -- It's been several years since Josh Reddick was the rookie in the corner.
That was in a veteran-laden Red Sox clubhouse, where the scrawny outfielder simply tried to blend in and "be the shadow to all those guys," he said.
Reddick's 2011 trade from Boston to the A's altered the course of his career. With 32 home runs, 85 RBIs and a Gold Glove to his name the next year, Reddick was suddenly a bona fide middle-of-the-order power hitter with a cannon of an arm to boot.
Then 2013 happened. A bum right wrist sidelined Reddick for parts of a forgettable season, and he again found himself in the shadows on most days, this time on an American League West-winning A's club. His home run total shrunk by 20, and he finished the year batting seventh, sometimes eighth -- and hitting .226.
Now Reddick is preparing to face his old Boston mates in a three-game set at Fenway Park this weekend.
"I was just telling my agent how good it feels to be healthy again," Reddick said this week. "I had forgotten what that felt like. It feels great. I feel amazing at the plate, and everything feels right confidence-wise of where I need to be. My body feels better than ever. I can't ask for anything more right now."
Oakland's right fielder entered Thursday's off-day batting a modest .241. This is nothing to write home about for most players, but considering Reddick began the year just 4-for-41, following it up with 16 hits in his next 42 at-bats, it kind of is -- especially since it took a call home for it to even happen.
Kenny Reddick knows his son's swing better than anyone.
"My hips were flying way too early, so my hands were dragging," he said. "He picked it out right away. I went into the cage the next three days and just swung, not even moving my hips, letting my hands work and teaching myself to not even use them at that point."
Just weeks before, Reddick was swinging one of the hottest bats in Spring Training. He finished the Cactus League campaign at .333 with three home runs. In the first week of the regular season, which brought about two washed-out games at the Coliseum, he had just three hits.
Reddick was starting off right where he finished 2013.
"That was the most frustrating thing about it," he said. "Coming off the surgery, that was the type of spring I really needed to have, and then the season starts and I'm going, 'What happened?' A week ago, I was hitting everything on the barrel and now I can't even hit the ball.
"It was weird how it happened so fast, and my only guess was the lack of batting practice we were able to take. I'm not a cage rat, so I rely on that batting practice. Even when we have our cage days now, I make sure I'm being thrown to, rather than just tee and flip."
Reddick spent an hour with A's hitting coach Chili Davis after a matinee game in Minnesota on April 9. This was right after he was approached by a reporter about the possibility of being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento upon Craig Gentry's impending return from the disabled list.
This was news to Reddick.
"It wasn't in my mind until I heard about it," he said. "I worried about it for one day."
Reddick just so happened to strike out four times that day. After the game, manager Bob Melvin told him, "I've heard all these rumors about you being sent down. Don't worry about that. That's not happening."
"They made it pretty clear that I wasn't going down, and I knew deep down that I was going to come out of it," Reddick said. "I was just tired of waiting, and I'm sure they were, too."
Reddick wanted to be left alone that day. But Davis wasn't letting that happen.
Five days later, Oakland went to Anaheim. Reddick, as expected, was still around, after the A's had designated Sam Fuld for assignment when Gentry returned. He went 0-for-5 in the series, yet it was also the turning point, he believes. Reddick was seeing pitches, working counts. He drew two walks in one game and didn't need to even hit the ball to know he was on to something.
Now Reddick is spraying the ball all over the field. He has 20 hits through 25 games. Last year, Reddick needed 34 games to reach that mark.
"Maybe I should take a picture of where I'm at right now and keep reminding myself of that," he said, smiling.
"He's just more relaxed," Melvin said. "Really just getting off to a tough start after having a good spring and being healthy was difficult on him, and he just needed to get some good games under his belt to relax. He's getting some good swings. Three or four times a night, he's having good at-bats."
Reddick, 27, insists that's more important than his average, though he still isn't content batting seventh most nights.
"I want to get back to being the predominant three-hole hitter on this team I know I can be, carrying this team like I know I can," he said. "But I know it's something I have to earn back. [Josh Donaldson] has done a heck of a job there. I wouldn't say I'm comfortable I'm in the seven-, eight-hole, but I'm not going to be upset if I'm in there right now. Maybe I can get back to being the five- or six-hole guy. Not just sometimes, but all the time.
"We're still winning games, and that's all I care about."

Another question!
What do the rest of you do to get the correct size photo for the layouts in the kit? Use Photoshop? Use Charm or Selphy? Go to Kiosk or order the correct size? Or maybe, manually crop them down? I haven't been able to do a single layout yet due to not finding either the correct size or color to match. I don't have a instant photo lab and I just got a new laptop that I don't even know how to get my photos onto it!
I'm just wondering what the best method is.
I am not an expert so I don't know if this the best. I know there are a lot a good photo editing programs out there but I edit my pictures in Google Picasa, save them and then use Microsoft Publisher to size my photos and print them on my printer.
Enjoy your day,
I craft so hard I sweat glitter!
99% of the time I print my photos at a kiosk, for me it's cheaper than buying ink for my printer. I usually print 4 X 6" pictures. Sometimes I'll print a photo package within the print so I'll get one 4X3" and two 2X3" or I'll print a 5 X 7" into a photo package. I crop my pictures to size and I'll also mat my pictures to size. Here's 4 X 6" example.
Also a lot of the time you don't really have to match the dimensions in the directions exactly unless you are provided mattes that the pictures have to fit on. I will often put in a 5x7 photo in a spot calling for two 4x6 photos or even turn the page sideways if it calls for portrait pictures snd all of mine are landdcape. When I do need to use a specific size I usually manually crop them like perhaps when it calls for a 3"x3". As far as thecolor sometimes that can be an issue with kits and I'll just hold on to the kit until something comes along that will work. Another thing you can do is 1) print the pictures in black and white or 2)change an element or two from your stash. Example: once I had a Christmas kit that was in traditional red and green but the pictures I wanted to use had the girl in the picture wearing a hot pink sweater! So I cut a new title in hot pink on my Cricut and made matching photo mattes in pink and it worked out great.

I'll also jump in - I generally just crop my photos to size with my trimmer. I also have not been known to worry about matching clothes to papers especially if it is holiday papers of some kind. I've also consolidated pics as Nancy said or added an embellishment/journaling spot in place of a designated photo spot.
Really happy to have you asking questions and jumping in! Maybe you can think of joining up our paper swap we are just getting going?
Like Penny I crop photos with a small trimmer, guillotine style. I don't stick to the "rule" of centering my photos on mats with equal borders, I use photos where they best tell the story and let the art be supporting not central.
I print thru mail order when I can get a deal, and they kiosks when I can't wait! I have spent lots of money on ink and printers and paper, and still wind up trimming them anyway.
One hint to printing the right size is to plan ahead what your LO will look like based on number of photos, sketch etc, and decide if you need to print 3x5, 4x6, or make mini prints and trim or shape from those basic sizes. The photos are always central to me in scrapping. The rest is the supporting cast. I try to limit my really detailed decorative pages and do a few in an album with more that are clean and simple and really focused on the photos and journaling.
I hope our input is encouraging to you. I hope you really feel like you make the rules for yourself and the desire to create drives you to make what is pleasing to YOUR EYE. If it is not fun you won't do it, so keep it fun!

Walter Olson to the white courtesy phone: An attorney in Tennessee is suing Apple for causing his addiction to porn by not making their computers to block porn sites. I really wish I were making this up, but you can read the bizarre complaint here.
Genesis is not the only example of an apple leading humans to sin, if you believe a porn-addicted lawyer from Tennessee, Chris Sevier. On June 19, 2013, he filed a complaint against Apple for letting him access porn from his MacBook.
His complaint runs 50 pages, is rambling, and filed with misspellings and inaccuracies. In it, he writes that he intended to go to the social media site Facebook.com but instead accidentally typed 'f***kbook.com'. He then found himself at a porn site which led him to his addiction to porn…
Sevier, 36, is representing himself in court. He complains that the porn sites he visited caused him depression, negativity, and also affected his work because of his addiction.
Less than a week after filing his complaint against Apple, Servier made headlines for a very different reason than his complaints that Apple's negligence led to his addiction to porn.
Sevier was arrested for allegedly stalking country music star John Rich, according to a report in The Tennessean. Mark "Chris" Sevier was arrested and charged with aggravated stalking for repeatedly sending emails to Rich, according to the arrest warrant.
In one of the emails, Sevier included a picture showing himself draped in an American flag and covered in a substance "believed to be representing blood." The warrant for Sevier's arrest also said he had stalked Rich for years. It wasn't the first time he'd had a run-in with stalking the country music singer. In the past, Rich has filed two previous restraining orders.
He is so clearly disturbed that the Tennessee Supreme Court has made his status inactive due to "mental infirmity or illness." The guy needs psychological help, not frivolous lawsuits.

Better off in Dubai
There's no doubt that too many are not housed appropriately, but while I in no way condone people being treated in any way other than decently I believe that it's important to always put things in context. People from different parts of the world have a different view, different culture, different standards, different expectations from each other.
(I'm struggling with this a bit, I need to be very careful with the words so that what I'm trying to say is not misunderstood).
I couldn't live with ten or more people in a small room. I couldn't live in a broom cupboard. I couldn't leave my wife behind and see her only for a few weeks every two years. But I'm from a prosperous western society and inevitably I look at things from that background.
But as I posted here back in January, people do and can live in a way that I and most, if not all, westerners wouldn't accept.
In the conversations I posted about then I asked 'why stay here under those conditions, why not go home'?
The answers were 'it's better in Dubai'.
Mrs Seabee has just come back from a business trip to India, the camera chip full. A lot of the photographs are of the modern buildings, the five-star hotels, the smart offices reflecting the booming economy.
But she also took a lot of street scenes, which help to explain the 'it's better in Dubai' answers.
The shots were taken from the car as she was being driven through Mumbai and New Delhi.
Thousands of people living on the streets, under bridges, in doorways, in drainage pipes. And in hovels cobbled together from cardboard boxes, bits of corrugated iron, plastic bags. Surrounded by garbage.
She asked her driver about the people who lived like this and he told her that a lot of them were construction workers.
Here's a handful of the shots showing accommodation in which people in Mumbai and New Delhi are living. You can enlarge the photos by clicking on them, to better see the awful reality:
They help to give the view from a different perspective, to make some kind of sense of why people are prepared to live here in a way that I couldn't. Living in a broom cupboard in Dubai is actually better than back home.
6 comments:
It's good that Mrs Seabee took the time and had the inclination to take these photo's. It shows she is also concerned about their living conditions.
So many others would have driven by without a second glance......

Dubai continues to attract record numbers of expatriates every single year. The appeal of the emirate and its main city is broad and encompasses the fact that employment opportunities in Dubai are strong and also generally very well paid. With the added benefit of tax breaks for individuals and companies, Dubai is certainly a very popular choice.
- October 16, 2008 6:56 am
This is partly true. Some people live like this in Dubai, purely so that they can (and do) liv elike kings back home. It really is a choice for a lot of people here.

Thanks for the visit to my page. I can appreciated what you are saying; that most of these people have known no other way of life, and to them living like that is the norm.
My quality of life now that I am a single pensioner is poor by western standards (can't afford to run the heating in the winter etc.) but by Indian standards I live like a king!
