The EU Wants a New Regulator to Make Sure Internet Firms are Behaving Themselves | Gizmodo UK: "They warn that some digital businesses are "transforming into super-nodes that can be of systemic importance" and "only a very limited part of the economy will not depend on them in the near future."
The documents warn that a lack of action could lead to a "point of no return", where economies are irreversibly tied to a handful of large companies. Examples include the likes of Amazon, Etsy, Trip Advisor, Facebook, and Google.
They are mentioned as having undue power over their sectors of the market and can exclude any company or products they feel like, without evidence, by claiming they breach terms and conditions.
Apparently this could potentially put the whole European economy at risk due to market exploitation.
To tackle this the documents propose that a new "supervision framework" should be put together and do things like ban unfair business practices and prevent internet companies from using their platforms to provide preferential treatment to their own services." 'via Blog this'

Propranolol belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. A beta blocker is a good choice for you as it lowers blood pressure and helps with some anxiety symptoms.
Side effects may occur in people taking beta blockers. However, many people who take beta blockers won't have any side effects.
Common side effects of beta blockers include:
Cold hands
Upset stomach
Almost ALL drugs will list nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation and headache!
It can be a little scary to try new meds but this one is pretty well tolerated by most people. It will help to lower and steady your heart rate and blood pressure. It also helps people with migraine headaches too. I take Atenolol, which is in the same family, and I have had absolutely no problems or bad effects with it. They have tried a few times to put me on other classes of antihypertensives (meds for blood pressure) and I couldnt tolerate those other ones at all and had to come back to Atenolol. It took about a year of taking it but one day I noticed that I hadnt had a migraine in a long time when I usually had one every few months so it was a very happy side effect! The only way to know is to try it. Just remember that most people never have any side effects. When they do drug studies, they have to list complaints people had and some are really not likely to even be caused by the drug but since it happened while they were testing the drug, it gets listed as a possible side effect. The most common one is dizziness but that usually goes away as your body gets used to it.
Dzoo, have you ever taken Propanolol? I'm just curious if Atenolol might be better for me. Ruthie
I have, it was years ago for migraines but I dont think I gave it long enough a trial because it took about a year on Atenolol before I began noticing the headaches were less frequent. I think I only took Propranolol for a few months.
It is hard to be patient when you have such horrible headaches and I think I wasnt convinced it was going to work. I didnt want to wait for months for relief, I wanted relief NOW! lol Since I went on Atenolol for high blood pressure, it was taking it for something different so I wasnt really expecting it to help but it did but it does take a while before you notice a difference.
cuddlebug71601. Hey there. IDE like to say that I agree with DzooBaby completely. She knows her stuff, and you can't go wrong taking/trying her advice. I have extreme headaches on a daily basis. They get so bad, they wake me up very early in the morning. Like 2:30 a.m. And I have to get up and take meds. And go back and wait for them to go away. I know you're taking it for something else, and I'm right there with you about trying new medications. But Propanolol has helped me a lot. This is something I haven't mentioned really, but I was eating(not literally) Fiarinol's like crazy, because of so many headaches, and not only is it not good to do, but I've heard countless times over the last couple of yrs they cause, or can cause rebound headache's if taken often. Until Propanolol. I rarely have severe headaches anymore.
So even though its scary, and I'm sure almost everyone has experienced this, if they take medications, it might surprise you if it works well for you. I can't speak for others, but sometimes I have mentally convinced myself I'm too afraid to take it. Even though I just drove through the drive thru and payed for the stuff. Lol. It's not amusing I suppose, but I just got tickled writing that. Don't be afraid. Have faith that this is going to help me, and just try it. I hope and pray your fear will lesson, and everything will work out for you. Take care, and many blessing

text: Hi there, I have been using amember for 4 month snow and I'm really loving it. The product is solid and support is spectacular! I am looking to move into the Affiliate direction - to offer commission on sales, but I would like to know if I need to install both the affiliate and Joint Venture plugins. I have 2 products: product A (one time payment for a physical device) and Product B (monthly subscription). All affiliates and /or Joint Venture customers will be paying customers of both Product A and Product B. I would like to offer affiliates a $20 commission for every Product A they sell, up to 10 products. At the 10th sale, I would like to offer them a free lifetime of Product B. Base don the wording for the addons, it sounds like I would need the Joint Venture addon to offer commission and the affiliate addon to offer the subscription. Or can I achieve both of these benefits with a single addon? Thanks in advance for any help can provide. Cheers, Ken

With 500 Win In Hand, Hunter-Reay Bags The Swag
By John Sturbin | Senior Writer
INDIANAPOLIS – Disneyland is not on the Verizon IndyCar Series schedule this season. So at the end of what figures to be the busiest week of his racing life, Ryan Hunter-Reay has booked the next-best-thing.
"I just won the Indy 500 – and I'm going to Detroit!" Hunter-Reay declared after accepting a $2,491,194 check for winning the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. "This is a kid's dream come true. I'm so proud to be up here."
Hunter-Reay's payday from a purse of $14,231,760 topped a massive haul of swag for himself and Andretti Autosport team-owner Michael Andretti, as the field of 33 was honored – and paid – during the annual Victory Awards Celebration at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday night.
In addition to celebrating his third Indy 500 win as car-owner, Andretti also shared in NASCAR star Kurt Busch's selection as Sunoco Rookie of the Year. But clearly, the spotlight belonged to RHR.
"I still feel like I'm living in a dream, I really do. That sounds cliché, but I feel like I'm actually still in a bit of haze," said Hunter-Reay, who edged Helio Castroneves of Team Penske by 0.0600-seconds _ the second-closest finish in race history. The closest margin belongs to Al Unser Jr., who edged Scott Goodyear by 0.043-seconds in 1992.
"That's what the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will do to you," Hunter-Reay said."This facility and this event is bigger than motorsports. It's bigger than sports. It's our country's tradition and there's an energy about it that takes you from the moment you come in here for practice. It's like no other racetrack; it's like no other place I've been in my whole life."
In addition to his winner's check, Hunter-Reay received the race's checkered flag, signed by his competitors; an Indy 500 champion's ring and the keys to the black 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 convertible Pace Car.
A 33-year-old resident of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Hunter-Reay is the first American to win "The Greatest
Spectacle in Racing" since Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006. That figures to be a key topic of conversation during the numerous appearances scheduled for RHR leading up to this weekend's doubleheader at The Raceway at Belle Isle Park in Detroit. The series will return to a street circuit for Rounds 6 and 7 of the schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Both points-paying events will be televised by ABC at 3:30 p.m. (EDT).
Hunter-Reay's media tour also includes a stop in Fort Worth on Wednesday afternoon to promote the Firestone 600 night race at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 7.
"I've got to touch on the American side of it because you know I'm a pretty patriotic dude," Hunter-Reay said. "I grew up as a fan of this sport, a kid watching the American legends – Mario and Michael, the Andrettis, watching the Unsers (Al, Bobby and Al Jr.), A.J. Foyt and Bobby Rahal fight it out at this great speedway. That's what I always wanted to be. And to finally be standing here in front of this trophy with this great team knowing that we just won the greatest race in the world, it is a dream come true in every sense of the term."
Driver of the No. 28 DHL Dallara/Honda, Hunter-Reay led a race-high 56 of 200 laps while averaging 186.563 mph. Andretti Autosport placed four of its five drivers in the top-six finishing positions – Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti (third), Carlos Munoz (fourth) and Busch (sixth).
Michael Andretti, son of 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario, failed to win here in 16 attempts. But Mikey added Hunter-Reay's win to those scored by the late Dan Wheldon (2005) and Dario Franchitti (2007).
Andretti also joined the chorus of drivers thanking the Hulman-George family for a revamped Month of May schedule that included the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on a revised IMS road-course.
"This (the 500) is the greatest event in the world and we are so proud to be a part of it and we thank you for it," Andretti said. "And we love the changes that are coming. I mean, we can feel it. We're back. INDYCAR's back. I'm very excited about it. I'm very happy with the direction we're going and we only have great things ahead of us, for all of us, I think.
"Ryan – helluva job. You drove like a champion all day. You made the right move. That move on the back straightaway (on Lap 197) I think is one that changed everything. Great guy to have on our team. Love to have you as part of our family. Thank you very much for getting us this win."
The 2004 Sprint Cup Series champion, Busch also became the fourth driver to compete in both the Indy 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., on the same day.
"To race with Andretti Autosport, all the teammates there, it was a pleasure," said Busch, 35, the top-
finishing rookie in a class of seven. "My success is your success and it was a wonderful Month of May."
Busch said his "Double Duty" of practice and qualifying here and at CMS was "a lot of hard work, it was a lot of fun. Just everybody here is like family. The Indiana natives make this racetrack what it is and I think the racetrack makes the people in Indiana what they are. It's a very special race to be a part of.
"I guess the million-dollar question is will I be back? I'd love to be back. I had so much fun and the key to all of this was the blindfold, and they took it off right at the end of the race and I ended up sixth."
Busch, who started 12th in his No. 26 Suretone Dallara/Honda, was presented a check for $423,889 including a $25,000 bonus from Sunoco. Busch also drew praise Hunter-Reay. "You're a great addition this month, man," said Hunter-Reay, the 2012 IndyCar Series champion. "From the beginning you came in, worked with the team – it was fluid the way it all worked. You contributed, too, from the very beginning. You're a champion and you're a racer. You get it. You got in the car and you hustled it.
"Very good job on Sunday. That was trying conditions in the middle of that race. I thought, 'This is pretty difficult to set-up some of these passes, a lot harder than last year.' So hat's off to you for even trying it, for coming out and making it happen. You're a true racer. I would love an opportunity like that, but there needs to be more guys like you around."
Hunter-Reay outdueled Castroneves during a six-lap shootout following a red flag stoppage, ultimately preventing the popular Brazilian from joining Foyt, Big Al Unser and Rick Mears as the event's only four-time winners.
"I knew it was going to get crazy. I knew it was going to get wild," said Hunter-Reay, referring to a sprint that included Castroneves and Marco Andretti. "We were all going for the win. I was racing two great drivers at the end and that's when you get a really good show. We were inches apart at 230 mph; it was some of the most intense racing I've ever felt and it was on motorsports' biggest stage, the Indy 500.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't even know it was the white flag lap because I was side-by-side (with Helio) and was so busy. I thought it was the white flag lap, I wasn't sure. And then we came out of Turn 4, I saw the checkers, I saw (Castroneves') yellow car coming up and I was thinking back to Marco and Hornish in 2006 and how close that was. I couldn't imagine dealing with how close that finish was in '06." Hornish, driving for team-owner Roger Penske, overtook rookie Andretti down the frontstretch to win by 0.0635-seconds.
"Helio, you did a great job," Hunter-Reay said. "I think that's one that will be replayed for many years and we'll remember it as some great, close racing. I feel honored to be the guy taking home the trophy."
The closing sequence saw Castroneves and RHR exchange the lead three times. "It was awesome," said Castroneves, driver of the No. 3 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Dallara/Chevrolet. "For the first time actually I was a little jealous about Tony Kanaan's nose (referring to the margin of victory).
"When he (RHR) passed me, I'm like I've still got time. Just keep cool, everything's going to be all right. Going on the backstraight I'm kind of getting him on the target and once we come off Turn 4 I'm like…'I got it…I got it…I don't think I got it. No, I can't believe it!' But it was so cool, man. It was a lot of fun. I think the biggest winner besides Ryan, obviously, was the fans. They had a great race. I had a great race. I want to thank the Lord for letting me live my dream every day. It's always magic to come to this place."
Castroneves earned $785,194 for the second Indy 500 runnerup finish of his career, matching his performance from 2003. "Ryan, man, that was fun," Castroneves said. "Not funny at the end but it was really, really cool. Your name is going to change now for the Indy 500 champion. Welcome to the club."
Pole-sitter Ed Carpenter, who led the race four times for 26 laps in his No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka/Ed Carpenter Racing Dallara/Chevrolet, finished 27th after a crash with James Hinchcliffe of Andretti Autosport ended his day on Lap 176. Carpenter received $463,694, including $100,000 for earning the Verizon P1 Award as pole-winner for the second consecutive year.
The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Purse consists of IMS and Verizon IndyCar Series awards, plus other designated and special awards. The Victory Awards Celebration was presented by Ice Miller Legal Counsel, Contour Hardening, Inc. and Allied Solutions. The 99th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 24, 2015.

The Law Officer's Pocket Manual - Bloomberg BNA
This handy 4" x 6" spiral-bound manual offers examples showing how rules are...
A spare ammunition magazine likely saved a New York City police officer's life early Monday, when a suspect's 9mm round struck the gear during a running gun battle in lower Manhattan.
"It was a very close call for Officer [Thomas] Richards," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said in a statement. " The magazine may have well saved his life."
The gun battle erupted at 1:44 a.m. today, when NYPD officers Richards and Thomas Dunne approached a man acting suspiciously outside of a closed drug store at 47 Columbia St. They were patrolling Police Service Area 4.
The officers exited their departmental van, and approached 25-year-old Luis Martinez, who muttered something indecipherable before turning toward Officer Richards, and firing numerous times.
One of the rounds struck the magazine attached to the gun belt of Officer Richards, an 11-year veteran. The officer returned fire, and a foot pursuit ensued as the suspect fled on Columbia down Rivington Street toward Baruch Drive.
After several blocks—about 200 feet from an apartment complex at 64 Baruch Drive—Martinez stopped, turned, and again fired at the officers, who returned fire.
After reaching the apartments, Martinez turned and fired for a third time in the direction of the officers, who again returned fire. Martinez was struck in the upper right leg, and ran into the complex. Responding Emergency Service Unit officers followed his blood trail to Apartment 6C, where Martinez resides, and took him into custody.
Martinez's 9mm Taurus handgun was recovered from the trash compacter at the complex.
Officer Richards is the fourth NYPD officer shot in two months. Officer Peter Figoski was fatally shot Dec. 12 while breaking up a robbery in Brooklyn. Officer Kevin Brennan was shot in the head on Feb. 1, while pursuing a suspect in a Brooklyn housing project. On Feb. 15, Detective Kevin Herlihy was shot in the left biceps by a career criminal.
Listen to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly's press conference about the shooting:
[email protected] @ 2/27/2012 5:43 PM
Damn lucky he wasn't carrying a Glock!Just sayin'...::now bracing for the hate:::
p @ 2/27/2012 5:52 PM
Glock's magazines are metal lined and then covered in polymer. Check out your stories before you troll.
[email protected] @ 2/27/2012 6:50 PM
Excuse me, but I thought there were not any hand guns in NYC? Was this a rare occurance? I'm thankfull the Officer is OK, but saddened that the shooter managed to survive. You guys gotta get to the range more often.
Jake @ 3/7/2012 8:51 AM
Those guys need to get to the range more often?? Well i can say more and more range time is always a good thing but also keep in mind that shooting at a static target on the range, and shooting back at a suspect is is trying to kill you is entirely different.

ISLAMABAD - Feeling comfortable with acting Governor State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Ashraf Mahmood Wathra, the federal government on Monday appointed him as new governor of the central bank for the next three years.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has appointed Wathra as Governor State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for next three years. He was working as acting Governor for the last three months. He was appointed as acting Governor SBP when the post was vacant after the resignation of Yaseen Anwar from the top slot of central bank on January 30 2014.
"Yes, the PM has appointed Ashraf Mahmood Wathra as new Governor State Bank of Pakistan," said Secretary Finance Dr Waqar Masood Khan while talking to The Nation.
The federal government was legally bound to appoint new governor SBP before April 30, 2014. According to the SBP act 1956, the federal government has to appoint new governor before April 30, 2014. The SBP act states the government has to appoint new governor SBP within three months after the vacation of the post.
Sources said that Wathra has tried his best to become full fledge governor of the central bank, in which he succeeded. Similarly, the government was also feeling comfortable with Wathra, as he was following the policies of the Finance Ministry.
The former Governor SBP Yaseen Anwar had resigned from the post due to serious differences with Finance Minister Senator Ishaq Dar over the economic policies.
The sources in Finance Ministry informed that the government has considered several other names for the post of Governor SBP, which included Muneer Kamal and Aurangzeb Khan, who is a close relative of former judge of Supreme Court Khalilur Rehman Ramday.

Greetings everyone, I joined this forum finally after finding myself reading several threads here whenever I was looking for some information to help with my raising chinchillas, and today I decided to join! I have never joined a forum of any sorts before so I apologize in advance if I don't know what I'm doing haha. I'll now tell a bit about myself, and my chichillas of course!
My name is Zaven. I am 15 years old and I live i the United States. I'm also a guy for anyone wondering. I am home schooled however I love to get involved with the local high school for clubs and such. I especially enjoy theatre, music, woodworking, and Brazlian Jiu Jitsu, a martial art I have practiced for basically my entire life. I have always been an avid animal and wildlife enthusiast, but I first gained my love for chinchillas when I held one for the first time in the 6th grade on a trip to a nature center of some sort. (It was quite a while ago so the details are quite foggy, sorry about that haha) That's enough about me though, on to my chinchillas.
I own two male chinchillas, named Leo and Vinnie. I first welcomed Leo to my home back in November of 2014, on my 13th birthday. He is now a little over 3 years old, and has a standard grey fur coat. Vinnie was welcomed to the chin family on the same day, two years later in 2016. He is a bit over 1 year old and has a beige coat. (I will include some pictures of the two below.) Leo is usually pretty calm and sweet, and can also be very curious and quite the explorer. Vinnie, on the other hand, is far more crazy and energetic, and on top of that much more finnicky when it comes to being held by new people especially. I love them both and they both get along very well despite their seemingly polar opposite personalities.
I will likely post quite a bit of questions for those more experienced than I, for even after nearly 3 years of owning chinchillas I have a lot to learn and improve on my skills raising them. I hope you enjoyed reading my introduction, and I hope you will enjoy my future posts here. Bye!
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

MONSOON……. It's the best season in my opinion! The rains , the cool breeze , lazy dreamy weather……………………..A cup of hot ginger tea……Ah …..BLISS! And to top it off, something hot and spicy to munch on!

Vada pav is one of the famous street food, in and around Mumbai. You can have it literally anytime of the day. It has gained a lot of popularity all across india.
When I was a kid , Vada pav aka Batata vada was made at home . it was made as a treat for us , when we did something nice, or when we had some guests coming over. We were in a joint family of 16 members, back then . We all used to literally compete, as to who could eat the most…..and always ended up fighting over the last one. Thinking of it still brings a smile on my face.
Yup, Vada pav is an all-time-favorite. Sharing the recipe of the authentic home-made Vada pav……hope you enjoy it!

DOTHAN - Troy University's Department of Teacher Education will help local pre-K facilities better educate 4-year-olds thanks to a $363,096 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
The grant will fund Project Pre-K to K Transition, a program that will create partnerships between three TROY education faculty members and two childcare facilities per year for three years.
The pre-K facilities, which will be chosen based on their location in low-income areas of Dothan, will serve about 30 families.
Project Pre-K to K Transition will include hiring two part-time certified teachers, providing a high-quality research-based curriculum, as well as providing professional development and ongoing support for child care providers of 4-year-olds. The project will also include supplying each classroom with a library of high-quality children's literature, and iPads that will have appropriate e-books and educational applications.
In addition, parent/guardian workshops and home visits will be used to equip parents in ways to promote early learning in the home.
"Quality early learning programs help to narrow the achievement gap faced by children growing up in poverty who often fail to meet basic literacy standards," said Dr. Cynthia Hicks, Troy University associate professor of reading education.
A pilot for the program was conducted in 2013 thanks to a grant by the Wiregrass Foundation.
"The childcare directors and teachers are excited about the high-quality curriculum materials and professional development training that was provided, which in turn improved the literacy levels of the 4-year-old children being served," Hicks said. "Through pre-and-post-assessment data, literacy achievement levels showed significant gains."
Dr. Hicks, Lecturer Pam Wimbish and Dr. Tonya Conner of the Dothan Campus will serve as co-directors, conducting workshops and providing on-site support for the pre-K teachers designed to enhance the quality of early childhood education being provided at the childcare centers.
"Project Pre-K to K Transition will continue to close the achievement gap for years to come by providing job-embedded professional development for the child care providers with an emphasis on planning, feedback and using data to drive the instruction," said Dr. Conner.
Wimbish added that the pilot program helped the co-directors determine areas of the project to tweak and improve.
"We learned quite a bit from our pilot year of the project and have strengthened our multi-year project by adding more family involvement strategies, attendance incentives and certified teachers," Wimbish said.
The program is expected to begin in June.

I am confused. You are saying the leaf nodes of an index contain the actual data row, be it clustered or non-cluetered index. That's not what I understand from reading other articles on sql server indexes. If what you're saying is true, then let's say we have an employee table with columns empID, firstname and lastname. The clustered index is by the field empID. For this index the leaf nodes will have data rows roughly sorted by the empID. Leaf node 1 has empID 1-100, node 2 has empID 101-200, and so on.
Now if we define another index with the key being lastname we will have the leaf node containing actual data rows, according to you, sorted by the last name of employee. Node 1 will have Ashley - Bernard, node 2 has Connors - Davidsan, node 3 has Eli - Ferguson, an so on. But, in real world there is no guarantee that the sorting will match the sorting by empID, that is Ashley has empID 1, Bernard 100, Connors 101, Davidson 200, and so on. We will probably have Ashley with an empID 456, Bernard 102, Connors 3, Davidson 999.
Now I am just wondering how can the same data rows be sorted in two different ways. One by empID and another by lastname. I admit I am not that bright but if you can show me, graphically if possible, how that is possible I will be very grateful, then I will start my own crusade to point out to many people whose articles are saying the opposite of what you are saying here.

Visit of Michel Sapin, Minister of Economy and Finance, to South Africa (2 – 3 February 2017) [fr]
Michel Sapin, French Minister of Economy and Finance, visited Pretoria and Johannesburg on February 2 and 3 2017. The visit aimed at strengthening and reaffirming economic relations and partnerships between South Africa and France..
Minister Sapin, with the French Ambassador to South Africa Christophe Farnaud, met with several senior officials amongst which his South African counterpart, Minister Pravin Gordhan, and the Minister of Small Business Development Lindiwe Zulu.
He also engaged both with the South African and French business communities during bilateral meetings as well as during a reception hosted by the Embassy of France in Pretoria.
As part of his programme, he conducted site visits to Schneider Electric, L'Oréal's Research and Development Centre and Airbus Helicopters.
During his meetings, Minister Sapin emphasised the role France plays in supporting South Africa's economic transformation through capacity building and investment. Local job creation, technology transfer, training and skills development programmes form the basis of French-South African economic cooperation.
In the context of "Brexit", this visit provided the ideal opportunity to showcase the numerous trade and investment opportunities France, as a founding member of the European Union, has to offer.
Cooperation between the two countries goes well beyond investment relationship. For instance, Minister Sapin underlined South Africa's key role in supporting global issues such as the fight against tax fraud and evasion.
The visit reaffirmed France as an important partner for South Africa in a wide range of areas, from scientific cooperation to transport and renewable energy investments and from the EU Economic Partnership Agreement to scholarship programmes.

From RitchieWiki(Redirected from Large square baler)
[edit] History
Before the 20th century, hay was stored loosely in a haymow, the upper level of a barn. This practice was extremely space-consuming, requiring 800 cubic feet (22.7 m3) of space for 1.5 tons of loose hay,[3] and the need for a more compact storage system became evident. The development of mechanized methods of baling dramatically decreased the number of people required in the haymaking process.
[edit] Early Hay Presses
The first balers, known as hay presses, were stationary machines that relied on horses and manual labor to operate. Initially, hay from the field was transported to the baler on a wagon, and forked manually into the baler's chamber. Once the chamber was full, horses walked in a circle, or on an inclined treadmill, turning a shaft to open a chain drive. The chain drive, in turn, drove a plunger into the baler in order to compress the hay in a compression chamber. When a bale was the right size, the operator dropped a wooden block into the chamber to stop the process. Finally, the bale was hand-tied with twine or wire. A hay press operated by one horse could bale 998 pounds (453 kg) of hay every hour.[4]
This process required the labor of approximately six people: two people to feed the press, one to tie the bales, one to remove them, and additional workers to tend to the horses. These hay presses underwent certain improvements, such as Ira Pasley's patented bell to signal when bales were the correct size, or Earl Goodwin's truck plate designed to simplify feeding hay into the baler.[5] In general, however, they remained relatively unchanged over the span of their existence. A significant change was the replacement of horses with engines, first introduced by International Harvester in 1909.[6] Though useful, the process was still arduous and time-consuming as the actual baling work remained manual.
[edit] The First Automatic Self-tying Balers
Stationary hay presses began to disappear in the 1930s with the advent of automatic balers. In 1936, a man known simply as Innes of Davenport, Iowa, developed an automatic, self-tying baler with knotters taken from a John Deere grain binder.[7] A year later, Ed Nolt of Pennsylvania utilized the knotters from Innes' baler to develop the first square baler with automatic pickup.[8] Nolt's design was later adapted by New Holland, who in 1952 marketed and sold the machine as the Holland 66, a compact mobile baler that stood only four feet (1.2 m) tall when its wheels were removed, reducing shipping costs. This machine was met with widespread popularity, as it was considerably less bulky than competing machines, as well as New Holland's other baler offered in tandem, the Holland 77. These machines enabled farmers, for the first time, to harvest 35 to 40 tons of hay per day.[9]
[edit] Other Companies Follow New Holland's Path
Other developments were being made at the time of New Holland's first offerings, including International Harvester's 1945 introduction of the 50T tractor-pulled automatic tie pickup baler. The T in the model number signified that the machine utilized twine. The following year, John Deere joined the competition with their automatic 116-W, a wire-tying baler. The company soon offered a smaller model, the 114-W; however, the square bales produced by the machine, weighing 50 to 70 pounds (22.7 to 31.8 kg) each, were difficult to stack.
[edit] Allis-Chalmers' Solution
The first baler designed to produce small round hay bales was invented in 1903 by Ummo F. Leubben of Nebraska, and was patented in 1910.[10] Three decades later, in 1940, Allis-Chalmers acquired the rights to Leubben's baler, and redeveloped it. In 1947, the company introduced the Roto-Baler, selling more than 23,000 in a three-year period.[11] The round bales were greatly successful, as they were easier to unroll to feed livestock, and left more leaves on the stems.[12] Additionally, round bales could be left outside, unprotected by wet weather, as hay in its center would be protected by the layers wrapped around it. These balers were improved in the 1950s, with Allis-Chalmers development of a process to rapidly wrap twine around the bales. Previously, a baler would have to be stopped after each bale was produced, in order to tie and eject the product.
[edit] Vermeer's Contribution
In the early 1970s Vermeer Manufacturing Co. made perhaps its most significant contribution to the agricultural industry. The company produced the first large round baler, a machine that has pioneered the way for every large round baler since.[13] These balers, operable by one person, made hay bales that weighed approximately one ton. Though there was some controversy surrounding the dangerous operation of these machines, forcing adjustments to be made, Vermeer sold more than 85,000 of these balers over the next 25 years.[14]
[edit] Features/How it Works/Types
As mentioned, balers come in four types: those that make small square/rectangular bales, small round bales, large square/rectangular bales, and large round bales.
Hay balers are usually pulled by a tractor that supplies power to the baler through a power take-off (PTO) shaft. It is the task of the tractor operator to ensure the baler pickup - a spool of moving tines or "teeth" - is driven in line with the windrow of cut hay in order to load the crop properly.
[edit] Small Square Balerself-propelled, gathers hay through a pickup. Behind the pickup is a compressor bar to hold the hay into place while the auger feeds it into the bale chamber. This chamber contains a plunger that packs and compresses hay into the correct shape and size. Following this, the bale is tied with wire or twine by an automatic mechanism. The twine is then knotted and cut with a knotter. Finally, the bale is ejected, either falling to the ground, or being thrown by an ejector known as a kicker onto a hayrack behind the baler.
Small square balers can also stack bales, transport them to a storage site, and stack them on a transportation vehicle, all carried out by an operator using controls—this process requires no manual lifting. Some operators opt to use an accumulator when producing small square bales. The accumulator collects multiple bales at once, laying them down in a rectangular pattern once full. This increases efficiency when grabbers and bale forks pick up the group to load them onto a transportation vehicle. Some balers of this type include a bale ejector to throw the bale directly onto a wagon.
[edit] Large Round Balers
Introduced in the 1970s thanks to the addition of hydraulics, large round balers are designed to produce bales between four and six feet (1.2 and 1.8 m) in diameter, and four to five feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) wide.[15] Each of these bales weigh between 1000 to 2000 pounds (454 to 907 kg), which is the equivalent of 20 to 45 small square bales. Round balers, all tractor-pulled, are often driven in a pattern weaving from left to right so the diameter of the bale is even. The bales produced by these machines are formed by way of the hay being wrapped around itself by six to eight long rubber belts seven inches wide. As hay is pulled into this baler, the bale is formed into a round shape and fills the bale chamber. As the chamber is filled, the hay exerts a force on the rubber belts, a process that is monitored hydraulically. When a predetermined pressure has been reached, the tractor operator is signaled electronically, and the baler's forward motion is paused. Before being ejected, the bale is wrapped automatically with twine or a protective plastic. Finally, the rear part of the baler is opened hydraulically, and the bale rolls out. Some balers need to be backed up when a bale is complete in order for it to be ejected, but newer balers do not.
[edit] Large Square Balers
These balers, producing parcels weighing between 800 and 1800 pounds (363 and 816 kg), and commonly measuring 3x3x6 feet (0.9x0.9x1.8 m) in length, have increased in popularity over the last decade.[16] The bales produced by large square balers are easier to stack than their round counterparts on transportation vehicles such as semi-trucks. Though these machines work similarly to large round balers, they usually produce denser bales, due to the inclusion of pre-compression chambers.

BAE Systems North America Inc. has entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire United Defense Industries Inc. of Arlington, Va., for $4.2 billion, company officials said.
The purchase will put BAE in a better position to work with the Army's Future Combat Systems program and to repair and upgrade combat vehicles in the United States and abroad, said officials of the subsidiary of BAE Systems plc, Farnborough, England.
Under the proposed deal, BAE would buy UDI for $75 per share in cash, or about $3.97 billion, and assume $218 million in debt. The deal must get regulatory clearances, and shareholders from both companies must approve it. The deal is expected to close midyear.
DRS streamlines its focus
DRS Technologies Inc. is divesting its broadcast and weather system divisions as part of a strategy to concentrate on its core defense technology business.
In a deal worth $31.5 million, DRS is reselling to Veritas Capital Fund of New York two units that it picked up in 2003 when it acquired Integrated Defense Technologies Inc. from Veritas.
Jefferies Quarterdeck was financial adviser to DRS on the sale of DRS Broadcast Technology, which develops and manufactures radio frequency broadcast transmitters, systems and power amplifiers. Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin advised DRS on the sale of DRS Weather Systems, which develops and manufactures Doppler weather surveillance radar systems, receivers, components and software.
Microsoft gets a Groove
Microsoft Corp. announced plans to acquire collaboration software vendor Groove Networks Inc. of Beverly, Mass. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Groove Workspace version 2.5 was one of several commercial applications that met the criteria for the Defense Collaboration Tool Suite, a Defense Information Systems Agency initiative to establish a suite of interoperable software for military use.
Microsoft plans to integrate Groove's software, which Groove renamed Groove Workspace for the 3.0 version, into its own family of collaboration products, such as Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server.
MTC picks up German division
MTC Technologies Inc. of Dayton, Ohio, has acquired the German operations of Eagle Support Services, a move that bolsters MTC's work with the Army in Europe.
MTC made the deal to support a $35 million contract awarded in late 2004 to reconstitute equipment from the Army's 1st Armored Division, which is deployed in Iraq, the company said. Under the contract, MTC helps the Army refurbish and repair equipment that is returning from Iraq.
Eagle-D GmbH will be integrated into MTC's newly established branch office in Speyer, Germany. Eagle Support Services is headquartered in Huntsville, Ala.

I went to a church school and my favourite time of year was Harvest festival. The school would tell us to ask our mums for some cans of food which would then be donated to local old people. The display of foods by the altar in church was always a source of fascination: so much food and so many different types, an insight into the kitchen cupboards of our mothers. The star of the show would be plaited breads or enormous loaves in the shape of a wheat sheaf.
One year our school had a project in which pupils would pair up with elderly people in the area and visit once a week. My old lady was a holocaust survivor who often did the tarot cards. I'm not sure she even liked being visited!
At Harvest festival our old people were invited for lunch in the school hall. This time the food was piled up on the assembly stage.
The head teacher said we could go up and select some food for our old people. My lady gazed over the selection from her chair, then, spotting the jewel in the crown, whispered to me "I want that huge loaf, get it for me".
Dutifully I took it, handed it to my old lady who snaffled it into her handbag. We carried on drinking tea. A little while later, the headmistress, looking stern, said:
"There has been a problem." She paused dramatically.
"Someone has taken the harvest loaf" Gasps all round. Surreptitiously I looked sideways at my old lady. She poked the loaf further down into her bag with a determined expression on her face.
The headmistress continued: "Who has taken it?" She swept the room with a steely gaze.
"Nobody? This loaf has been made specially for this festive occasion, it's for decoration only."
I did think the loaf was rather hollow sounding and dry.
When the headmistress had stopped, I said to my old lady "Look we've got to give it back. You can't even eat it" and wrestled it out of her bag, much to her annoyance.
I was always in trouble at school. I was known as the naughty one. This time however, it wasn't even my fault. Why did they have to pair me with an equally naughty old lady? This wasn't going to help my reputation.
I removed the loaf from the bag as discreetly as I could, not easy, it was about two foot long and, I noticed, had a metal spike jutting out the bottom. I sidled up to the headmistress trying to explain that it wasn't me, it was my naughty old lady.

$5,000 scholarship essay contest.
Thanks to a $1,000 grant from the PFLAG Diversity Outreach Chapter Assistance Program, the Asian Pacific Islander Parents Families and Friends (APIPFLAG) satellite group is conducting an essay contest for high school seniors up through college juniors. Additional fundraising will increase the scholarship funds to $5,000.
The essays are to be written on the following topic: From the perspective of Asian Pacific Americans, why should marriage between two people of the same sex be considered a fundamental civil right (marriage equality)?
Essays may be written in English, Korean or Chinese and are to be submitted by April 24, 2009. Entrants must reside in Los Angeles or Orange counties.
email@example.com for further details.
Contest details are to be released at a press conference at 10:30AM on March 26th at the Asian Pacific Legal Center at 1145 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. Please contact
The essay-writing contest is being used to reach out into the Asian Pacific communities to continue meaningful dialogue on the issue of same-sex marriage. It can impact the Asian Pacific communities in at least three ways:
First is the media coverage in the various API communities on the loss of civil rights for a group of people.
Secondly, the contest can stimulate meaningful dialogue between students and with their parents on the civil rights aspect of same-sex marriage.
Lastly, this contest will encourage API youth to be more analytical of social issues that affects their communities, as well as those issues affecting all communities that make up our nation.

EDIT: Hiffed
Hiffers, please gather everyone in your immediate vicinity around your monitor. I have monumental news that will soon spawn epic poems and a minimum of fourteen references in future history textbooks. You see, when I saw this free 2011 DeLallo calendar, I knew I'd seen that name before and wondered if I'd recently publish this offer. So it was off to the HIF archives and holy guacamole! I was remembering last year's free calendar. Me! Vaguely recalling something from almost a year ago!
I think I need to take a break from all this excitement.

Conservative politicians are still doing their best to remove conservation laws that keep fossil fuel companies from wiping out endangered species.
Our lovely conservative, insular leadership (for the last two decades) has resulted in Daniel Stenberg, author of curl and libcurl, being denied a visa to attend a conference in the US. Most technical conferences (not to mention anything involving human rights) are having to go to other nations, where people are a bit more welcoming.
118 all-time heat records have been broken this month thanks largely to global warming. Heat, drought, and extreme weather are becoming more and more common, and will continue to do so for the rest of your life.
Earth's getting hotter.
The problem with genetically engineered plants and animals is that you cannot contain them. Bacteria can be designed to live only in specially controlled environments and die in the wild. When you grow plants in the open, that degree of control is impossible, and this sort of thing happens. Any minor mistake, and the people who live on the land, not the company responsible, have to deal with the effects forever after. GMO products are only a good deal for the people who own the companies.
It's hard to believe how organized and methodical the religious extremists are in this country (despite the fact that our vice president is one).
Trumping Democracy is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the future of democracy on our planet. The first two sections are just pointing out what a jerk Trump is – great fun, but I've seen it before.
Toward the end though, they talk about how companies like SCL (the company our government goes to when planning how to control entire populaces with maximum efficiency) are using data science to pick out the key individuals that can swing an election so they can be targeted with propaganda specifically designed for them. One of the data sets kept on each person (including you) is neuroticism – yes, they openly boast about using your psychological weaknesses against you. That's how Trump got the electoral vote but not the popular vote. The process is frighteningly precise and effective.
SCL's American branch is Cambridge Analytica, by the way... yes, that Cambridge Analytica.
Pirate streaming has taken over as the main form of video piracy. Note the link to a spreadsheet of pirate vendors. If someone offers you a "legal" streaming service, it might not hurt to check whether they really are legitimate. It won't make any difference to you – no one's likely to prosecute you for watching a stream since there's no money in it – but eventually the pirate servers get shut down, leaving you without tv.
WikiTribune is out, and looking good. Of course the right is already screaming "bias!", because it's not Faux News. The "culture of persecution" they've created will never believe that anything new is not a threat. Sadly for them, reality tends to be liberal.
Edit: For a news site, they don't seem to carry much news, and it's hard to find it when they do. They're still "in beta" though.
The white house is trying to push some more doublethink on us in the form of "responsible encryption", which means we're responsible to give up our freedom and privacy to make it easier for someone to prosecute us.
If you really want to hear where Faux News is getting their "scoop" about a retired grandmother's involvement with Russia – the one they're desperately hoping will distract from Trump's involvement – read this. Even if any of it were true, who cares? She's not in the white house. Worrying about the last guy who robbed your house while there's still a burgler in your living room is idiotic.
Our republican congress has decided we have too many opportunities to sue Wells Fargo and Equifax for the damage they've done, so they've changed some of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules which allowed that.
We're already in a second gilded age. Remember how stark the contrast was between all those poor folk in Titanic vs the wealthy? That's today.
I never had much interest in the boy scouts, but after reading this, I like them even less. Interesting that the girl scouts have accepted atheists and homosexuals for some time, and the boy scouts still don't.
Although this seems very reasonable, any step toward looser enforcement of the GPL worries me.
A severe security flaw has been found in ALL WIFI devices. If any of your hardware connects to a wireless network, you need to update it soon. If you don't, a hacker within a few tens of meters of your device can inject malware into any data you receive via WIFI. So, for example, your browser will download dangerous software along with the perfectly trustworthy web site you wanted.
Security updates will be available soon for most devices. However, older android devices will probably never be updated, and a hacker can exploit them to attack updated devices on your network. Unless all devices are updated, and that includes TVs, games, and anything else with wireless access, you are still vulnerable.
In all likelihood, someone will use this vulnerability to create chains of malware running along overlapping wifi networks in neighborhoods and businesses. This could happen within days or weeks, and when it does, the hacker won't need to be close to you.
AT&T is not making quite as much money as they want due to people getting sick of their bullshit and kicking them to the curb. Color me unconcerned. Hollywood, professional sports, and television in general can dry up and blow away as far as I'm concerned.
Equifax and Transunion are both serving malware on their websites, though neither admits responsibility.
Is Internet business the latest force driving down inflation? Remember that inflation has largely been controlled by governments for a century or more, and is one of the major factors that traditionally prevented the wealthy from acculmulating ever more wealth.

T paces nervously around his lushly appointed office at a Florida resort. He runs a hand through his bizarre shock of blond(ish) hair, then seemingly resolved, sits behind the desk and picks up a telephone.
T: I need some help, P. These fake news stories about my ties with Russia just won't let up. They're driving me up the wall.
There's a brief pause before P answers.
P: But my friend, the answer is so simple! You need only wait for some atrocity to be committed in any of the countries we are occupying. Such things happen every day.
T: An atrocity, right... but how does that help me?
P: Then you send in a strike against some low-rent target, da? I will react with suitable outrage. The media will see that we are not friends, but bitter rivals. Problem solved.
T: Yes, but don't you have world-class air defense systems in all those countries?
P: Do not worry, my friend. We have been conveniently ignoring Israeli strikes in Syria for some time now. We can surely do the same for you.
T: Great! I think that traitor, F, is going to testify against me. I'll try to time it for right after they make the announcement. Now, about the Siberian oil drilling...

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:13 p.m. The identity of the pedestrian was not being released because relatives were still being notified.
Police initially reported that one vehicle hit the man and kept going and that a second vehicle also struck the pedestrian and stayed. Columbus Police Accident Investigation Unit detectives were trying to confirm that information late Tuesday, and the incident remained under investigation early Wednesday.
The southbound lane of Cleveland Avenue was closed as a result of the crash. There are neither crosswalks nor a traffic light at the Cleveland Avenue intersection with Blake Avenue.

CHICAGO (AP) The Pittsburgh Pirates will be without Starling Marte for a couple days while the speedy outfielder attends to a personal matter in his native Dominican Republic.
Manager Clint Hurdle says he thinks Marte will be back in time for Monday night's game at Tampa Bay. Jose Tabata got the start in left for Saturday night's game at the Chicago Cubs.
Marte went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in Pittsburgh's 6-3 loss at Wrigley Field on Friday. He is batting .258 with five homers, 26 RBIs and 17 steals in 70 games this season.

This time around, every single time my phone rings I almost hold my breath if its a doctors office. Today I had a voicemail saying the testing we had done last week was all good and there were no signs of down syndrome and baby was perfectly healthy. As I listened to the voicemail in my car I felt myself tearing up. I felt the same feeling of relief when I got a similar phone call when I was pregnant with Harper. Then I realized today I should have an 9 month old, she would be 9 months old today. Then I thought back on the past 9 months, all of the tears, fights, sadness, laughter and helplessness we felt. Its so fucking hard to navigate a new pregnancy after losing my daughter so far along. Everyone keeps assuring me that they are going to keep a close eye on us and I'll be induced early and everything will be fine. Yet inside I just keep screaming why the fuck didn't that happen last time?! Why the fuck wasn't my daughters cord more closely monitored. Its just so infuriating because at the end of the day there is no one I can blame. There is still no explanation as to why it happened. All we are told is it was a freak thing. And I think theres a part of me that keeps going over every part of my pregnancy, and I feel a sense of guilt like why didn't I feel something was off… why didn't I notice. But then my Mom Kindly reminds me that I can't blame myself, Harper wasn't meant for this world, and one way or another that was how it was meant to be, and at least she went peacefully and god forbid we didn't bring her home and something happen like SIDS at home. How is that for trying to find a "Oh well at least that didn't happen" situation when it comes to the death of my daughter. I honestly never thought at 30 years old I would have already gone through this. I think I had always imagined myself having two kids at 30 and planning for a third in the future. Instead I'm 30, I've filled out a death certificate for my daughter and picked up her ashes, how fucked is that. I mean genuinely a fucking nightmare, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I am beyond excited for this new baby, Im just terrified and trying not to compare every little detail of this pregnancy to my last. I just want a healthy, living baby and I find myself praying to something, who knows what or what kind of god, but something that this baby is okay. Who knows maybe all of my religious friends are right and Harper is going to be an guardian angel big sister for this baby.
The strangest thing that I've been trying to figure out is how to answer questions. When people see I am visibly pregnant they ask if it's my first, then when I respond no they ask how old my other children are… and part of me wants to just say its my first to avoid awkward questions, but then again I don't want to deny Harper… So whats an appropriate way to answer? I've replied with yeah I had a daughter and she was stillborn and then I get those sad eyes and the person is shocked and doesn't know what to say at this point.. they just try and get away. This would be another great time for this non existent handbook for bereaved parents… whats an appropriate response ?

My Week!
This is my first box clasp, made using copper and German silver before putting it in a liver of sulphur solution long enough to obtain a pleasing patina. After removing the clasp from the solution, I neutralized and polished it. I am already hard at work on another clasp, this time using silver.
I plan to shift my focus back onto the blog hop by Saturday. I want this hop to be fun as well as meaningful so I will reply to all of your comments by the week end as well. Have a great week!

McLaren have yet to say who will be the stand-in, but 2009 world champion Button – the last driver to win a race for the team back in 2012 – is already looking like the clear front-runner.
"Why do I have so many missed calls?" Button, 37, joked on Twitter as speculation mounted about a comeback after McLaren's surprise announcement that Alonso will skip the season's showcase event and race in America on the same day.
Triple world champion Hamilton, who joined Mercedes from McLaren in 2013 and is currently leading the championship with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, said his former teammate and fellow
"I hope Jenson comes back, I think it would be great for the sport to have Jenson back in," he told reporters.
"I like Jenson and he is still one of the best drivers, and his calibre and experience is way ahead of the other drivers able to take that spot for sure."
Button handed over his McLaren seat to Belgian rookie Stoffel Vandoorne at the end of last season, but the Honda-powered team retained an option on his services for 2018 and as a potential stand-in this season.
Why do I have so many missed calls? 🤔
— Jenson Button (@JensonButton) April 12, 2017
The Briton made clear last November that he was not expecting to return – and it is not clear whether he would be willing to do so now – but he has kept fit competing in triathlons and training in
Button won the 2009 Monaco Grand Prix from pole position, one of his 15 career victories, and was also on the podium in 2004 and 2011. He has 305 races under his belt.
McLaren's executive director Zak Brown said on Wednesday there was no replacement in place for Alonso, but a decision would be taken soon.
"We have a few different options, we will state who that is when we know," the American said.

Being from Ireland I just couldn't resist sharing a little bit of St Patrick's Day crafting mischief with you, made with a humble toilet paper tube and scraps of paper! Your kids will love making this toilet roll leprechaun king and a group of his leprechaun friends for some Paddy's Day shenanigans around the house xx
Caution!… have your kids keep their eyes peeled on this wee fella – Leprechauns are smart, mischievous little Faeries who ™ll do anything to escape capture, even if it means turning them into a frog!
– a rectangle of green paper for the King's suit (craft paper, crepe paper, wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper – whatever you have)
– a rectangle of orange paper for the beard with slits cut all along one side
– two longer strips of orange paper for the hair at either side of the beard
– a strip of gold paper cut into a crown shape
Curl the orange beard and hair strips around a pencil or pen to give it a lovely 'bounce'
Glue the green paper suit, beard and hair into position on the toilet paper tube.
Glue on the crown
Draw little dots for the eyes, nose and mouth – I used a mini brown pom pom for the nose for added cuteness!!
Happy crafting

How to get dads involved in divorce and separated families
Other ways to listen: iTunes ♦ Stitcher ♦ TuneIn ♦ SoundCloud ♦ Google Play
This is an important episode. Terry Brennan, co-founder of Leading Women for Shared Parenting, an activist organization responsible for introducing legislation in 20 states, that makes equal, shared parenting the presumption in family court. This is a critical issue for children, who suffer from absentee fathers in alarming figures, as well as men, who are automatically reduced to paychecks and an afterthought in family life. Shared parenting is critical for women, too, as involved co-parents, both inside and outside of marriage, mean women have far more support at home, which allows us to thrive as parents, as well as professionals and earners. After all, we can't be equals at work, if men are not equals at home.

The real reason your ex doesn't see the kids
Should you date a guy who doesn't see his kids?
In this episode, Terry Brennan and I discuss shared parenting:
- There are 43 academics papers support shared parenting for children of divorced or separated parents.
- In cases where 'standard' visitation is awarded — every-other-weekend — fathers become depressed and non-involved, and within 3 years, one study found, 40 percent of children in an unequal visitation arrangement had lost complete touch with their non-custodial parents, which are nearly always the father.
- Research finds that a minimum of 35 percent of kids' time with both parent is required to bond with a parent. Anything less robs children an opportunity to truly bond with the parent.
- Lack of shared parenting linked to every major social pathology in the United States.
- Extended families of both parents have the right to be part of children's lives.
- Of course abuse and neglect cases are the exception.
- The shared parenting movement has become mainstream, supported by as many women as men, with 20 shared parenting bills around the country, with passed laws in Utah, Missouri, South Dakota and Arizona.
- "Fathers who get involved from the get-go are far more involved, while those who are marginalized become distant parents and are marginalized further."
- If courts stop asking parents to argue for their children, and start assuming that they are both competent people, parents form a more amicable and collaborative co-parenting relationship, which results in more involved fathers and happier children.
- In Australia, after the implementation of shared parenting laws nationally, 73 percent fewer parents went to lawyers to resolve co-parenting issues, and just as many parents sought out counseling to resolve issues.

Structured and harmonious, yet strong and elegant, our Davis Vineyard Pinot Noir is a spectacular representation of quality grape-growing in the Finger Lakes. Hand planted in 1998 about a quarter mile off the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, these Pinot clones produce lively, old-world, style wines. Bold enough to stand up to grilled red meats, and hearty stews, the Reserve Pinot Noir is also subtle enough to be an excellent accompaniment to fowl, and a classic pairing with all mushroom dishes.

Vintage Notes
With the perfect balance of warm temperatures and occasional rainfall, the 2012 season turned into an exceptional vintage. Bud break occurred during mid-March, about five weeks earlier than usual, and set the tone for the rest of the season. Rivaling the impeccable 2010 vintage, 2012 also saw a large number of growing degree days, ideal for fully ripened grapes and bold wines. Due to the below average rainfall throughout the summer months, disease pressure remained low, allowing fruit to thrive with little intervention.

When it comes to corporate life today in America, you may not be able to tell the players without a program, but it sure is easy to tell the game they're playing.
If they're into top-down management where what the Big Boss says goes, according to Philadelphia-area management consultant Robert Keidel, it's football. If they're into small working/management groups with a lot of autonomous decision-making, it's basketball. If individual effort reaps the greatest rewards, then they're playing baseball.

In this translation of a semi-classic study, readers of English have the opportunity to explore the manner in which both credentialism and the various levels of the modern education system have developed in Japan. Professor Ikuo Amano, the author of extensive works on Japanese education and examination systems, takes the reader through a detailed analysis of the process by which education and academic qualifications have become the crucial factors in determining social position. Using Japan as a concrete example of an industrial society thoroughly permeated by credentialism, Amano s book makes explicit the relationship between social selection and education, and in so doing points the way to why credentialism has come to dominate industrial societies. The book also includes a comparative consideration of the development of education, qualification and selection mechanisms in both Japan and Europe.

Since my birthday is so close to New Year's I always use the 17 days in between to reflect and come up with resolutions, observations and plans for the new year.
This year I turned 33...not a terribly exciting number other than the double threes. I know I am closer to 35 which feels much more monumental. I did go to work this year (a break from tradition) but I have to say the birthday wishes and hugs I received from many students was well worth it!
So what do I hope for this year? Well, the eternal quest to be healthy is in my mind, but no major resolutions about that other than make good use of my gym membership since I am paying for it. I would also like to get healthy in prep for the next major step I would like to make which is expanding our family. The hubby and I have not yet made plans to start, but the thought is on my mind and I am certainly not getting younger. Getting healthy in preparation seems like a good idea anyway.
I also hope to take another leap in to "grown up" life...buying our first house. Hubby and I have rented for a long time. Now that I am gainfully employed we can seriously consider a more permanent housing plan. We took a drive around our area to see the neighborhoods of a few house we could be interested in seeing internally.
I think this year will be about creating roots of my own. I have always had the roots of my family and home town that are a part of me, but I feel the need to settle in and establish new roots now that I am embarking on a new career, past the one year mark living in a new state and feel the desire to have a child (which has never been a strong priority). I feel that creatively I have already made art making, knitting and now sewing a constant in my life, now for the rest.
It will be interesting to look back in 2009 to see what roots took hold in 2008. Hmmm....I think I can use this root idea in some art.

Vendor Profile: Sotera Wireless offers round-the-clock vital signs monitoring
By Eric Wicklund, Editor, mHIMSS
Recent studies estimate that 60 percent to 70 percent of a hospital's patients have their vital signs monitored on a "spot check" basis – that is, when a nurse or doctor is available to check them. It's a hit-or-miss method that does neither the patient nor the provider any favors.
Sotera Wireless is looking to improve that process through the development of a wireless platform that enables providers to monitor a patient's vital signs continuously, whether that patient is in the emergency room, in his or her room or even in an ambulance.
The San Diego-based company is seeking early collaborators and partners for its ViSi Mobile platform and will be showing it off at its booth in the mHealth Summit's Exhibit Hall. Officials hope to bring the technology to the market in the coming year.
"The current focus of care is incomplete," says Gunnar Trommer, the company's vice president of marketing and customer service. "A nurse may come in and check vital signs, and then for the next 4-6 hours, you don't get anything. You need to monitor the whole patient all the time."
Sotera's non-invasive, body-worn sensor system is designed to continuously capture a wide range of vital signs, including blood pressure. The company has developed a software package that's compatible with standard Windows-based operating systems. Once deployed, the system is designed to collect vital signs and transmit them to a nurse's station or mobile device.
"Wireless monitoring of blood pressure holds great promise to change the landscape, and will be particularly helpful for dealing with labile, sporadic surges in blood pressure that are currently undetected," said Eric Topol, MD, a member of Sotera's board of directors, in a testimonial provided by the company. "Furthermore, the ability to have continuous hemodynamic assessment of individuals will provide a new window for better management and hopefully, ultimately, improvement in major outcomes."
Trommer says the company will first market ViSi Mobile to hospitals, and plans to work with Qualcomm, a telecommunications provider and investor in Sotera, to develop wireless monitoring technology that extends beyond the hospital.
Trommer says ViSi Mobile will not only improve clinical outcomes, but also reduce healthcare waste and expenses by eliminating costly adverse events.
In October, Sotera was included in the initial portfolio of the West Health Investment Fund, LLC, a $100 million fund created by Gary and Mary West, co-founders of the San Diego-based West Wireless Health Institute, to provide risk capital for "companies with cutting-edge technologies and services that offer the potential to substantially lower the cost of healthcare."
Sotera can be found at Booth 403-21 in the Exhibit Hall.Posted Mon, 12/05/2011 - 19:12 by admin
