Accolades from alums
All I can say is “Wow!” The Spring 2008 issue of Bradley Hilltopics should receive awards and accolades for its layout, design, content, artistic quality, and overall classy and classic presentation. I can’t say enough about the excellent product you have produced. Bravo!!!
NEIL SULLIVAN ’92
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading the most recent Bradley Hilltopics. I am always excited to get it, but this one is just that much better. All of the articles were interesting, especially those about the soccer program, the Field House, and the employees who have been there for 25-plus years. It all serves as a reminder of what a special place Bradley was, is, and will continue to be…
JENNIFER DUJKA MCCORMACK ’98 MA ’05
I love Bradley Hilltopics magazine. Kudos to everyone who works on it. As a marketing specialist at Harper College in Palatine, I know how much time and talent goes into a publication such as this one. Thanks!

Congratulations Dr. Jungck
I was very fortunate to have had Dr. Jungck as my math professor during my first two years at Bradley. Dr. Jungck was by far the best teacher I have ever had. He taught and motivated students to learn to the extent of understanding the “why” of the subject. That was a lesson that benefited me throughout my professional career.

The Clean Water Act—part of a series of environmental acts Congress initiated in 1948—was one of the outstanding U.S. legislative achievements of the twentieth century. Intended to reduce pollution of interstate rivers and of surface and underground water, the Clean Water Act of [[phy_address]] effective enforcement of water-quality standards. It was forged in a laborious compromise between divergent House and Senate bills and between concerns of environmentalists and industry. Congress passed it over President Richard Nixon’s veto. |
LOS ANGELES -- Aaron Bassler, the suspect in two Fort Bragg killings in Northern California including that of a city councilman, was killed Saturday in a shootout with law enforcement officers after a monthlong manhunt, authorities say.
A SWAT team from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department encountered Bassler, 35, around midday and a shootout ensued, said spokesman Jason Ramos. No officers were injured.
Bassler was accused of killing 45-year-old Matthew Coleman, a land restoration worker, on Aug. 11 north of Fort Bragg. He also was accused of killing Jere Melo, 69, a Fort Bragg city councilman, in the hills east of town on Aug. 27.
Since Melo's death, a manhunt has been under way for Bassler, whose father said he is schizophrenic and deranged. Federal agents as well as law enforcement officers from around California have aided Mendocino County deputies in the search for Bassler.
Ramos said he did not know exactly where Bassler was shot, but said it was in the woods near Fort Bragg, in an area where authorities have been looking for Bassler.
A spokesperson for the Mendocino County Sheriff's Department declined to comment, saying more information would be made available later. |

The lingering pain from the Noble police shooting accident that killed a 5-year-old boy more than two weeks ago remains numbing for family and friends of all involved.
We include the police officers in that pain and all agree it was a terrible set of circumstances. The Noble police's continued lack of information, however, is exacerbating that pain.
We requested an official copy of the radio transmission days after an officer, apparently with the blessing of a supervisor, shot at a snake dangling from a birdhouse. Three unnamed officers have been suspended.
The one-page copy provided the newspaper had 72 entries marked through with a black pen. Additionally, there were no radio log entries for about two and a half hours after the shooting. At our request, the city's attorney was looking into the issue Tuesday afternoon.
On the advice of our own attorney, we later requested and were denied an unredacted copy and the actual audio from the radio transmission. Noble officials said the material had been turned over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The OSBI has now completed its investigation. Their report goes to District Attorney Greg Mashburn.
Families will have to deal with the loss forever. It's beyond time for the Noble police to be more forthcoming with their released information. The public has a right to know more about the tragic set of circumstances that unfolded on that summer afternoon.

Frost on the car is a sign to be careful riding to work. Clear blue skies can give a false sense of security when the temperature dips below freezing. This morning it was 28F -- cold and presenting the chance of encountering slippery spots. With enough salt residue remaining the only real concern is in places where water migrates across the road from springs, car washing or other sources.
The ride was uneventful and the temperature rose quickly. Bright sun beating down on me and the road was a nice thing.
A frosty morning is far more tolerable than an icy morning.

Hi Steve,
I follow your blog for a long time (i usually don't make any comments) and, when i saw the picture on this post a question came to me.
Do you struggle to get your helmet windshield clear of ice?
I'm having some trouble on keeping it clear after roading about 10miles in temperatures near 0ºC...
Any help?
Oh... one more thing. How do you keep your hands warm (or not freezed) without heated grips?
Best regards, from Portugal

W (Fausto): I too struggle with visor fogging. The only solution I have pursued is cracking the visor open for periods of time. I've not tried breath box inserts in the helmet or the anti-fog material that can be sprayed on the visor.
I guess that means it's not so bad. But there are times when the temperature goes very low that I have to stop and scrape the ice off.
No heated grips. I use heated gloves. |
New employees at Palm Beach Outlets feel lucky to have landed a job
With the final coat of paint comes a fresh start for the Palm Beach Outlets, and for each of the more than 1,500 new employees.
"When they offered me the position I just jumped on it," said Rita Duke.
Hanging up her days as an Army nurse, Rita thought she would try retail, and joined the team at Carter's and Osh Kosh B'Gosh.
"I was looking for a place where I could use some of my skills in leadership that I had previously and also a place I'd like to work, that was fun to work," said Rita.
Out of work, she stood in line for hours in January at a job fair for the outlets.
"I had an umbrella and I stood there in line, in heels, but it's worth it. Just bringing the jobs, people feel good, they want to work, no one wants to sit at home and this has brought so many opportunities," said Rita.
Opportunities that were lost over the last decade as the Palm Beach Mall slowly disappeared. Rita says the shopping site has been transformed into something the community can be proud of.
"Having pride in it when you do have it all finished, it's just fun to set something up right from scratch. I mean, there was nothing in the store when we came in. I feel like part of a family, not just part of a job," said Rita.
Meanwhile, construction crews are doing last minute tests ahead of Friday's grand opening. The fire alarms and phone systems were all being checked Thursday. Cleaning crews could be seen making last minute sweeps.
Store shelves were stocked with merchandise that came in just under the wire.
"They're finishing up on the visual merchandise, making sure the registers work, our employees are being trained right now and we'll be ready to go for tonight," said George Kingsmill of Carter's.
Special sales and deals are being offered at many stores to attract customers on opening weekend. |

Brit land and online bookmaker Betfred has offered to sell a betting shop in each of the 25 areas where regulators are concerned about competition following the gambling company's recent takeover of the Tote from the government (see previous reports).
Before the Office of Fair Trading can approve the Tote deal, Betfred will have to relinquish the 25 betting outlets in areas where the competition element is a concern.
The company has a total of 840 betting shops throughout the United Kingdom, with the Tote adding a further 517 outlets to that if the deal is approved.

The vast majority of organizations that use SharePoint see a need for these types of workflow driven apps. Apps that make it easy for end users to streamline their work, or take action against tasks when and where action is needed, and to manage it all from one place.
But SharePoint out of the box has a few major hurdles to getting there:
- Integration is a challenge, and not just integration within SharePoint across SharePoint sites and environments, but also integration with other data sources – think about how these workflows have to pull data from other line-of-business systems within the organization or even data sources on the web.
- A major issue is the time and cost that it takes to build and maintain these applications – most of which require custom development, and the resources and skills that that requires.
- And even in getting these things right, end user adoption can still be a challenge – a big piece of this is due to the difficulty of creating great user interfaces that deliver a good user experience and make your users WANT to use your applications.
According to a SharePoint Adoption Survey by MPS Partners, 73% of surveyed SharePoint organizations say that there see a clear need for workflow driven apps. But more than half of them see integration as being a challenge that’s holding them back from these apps. Nearly a third responded that the time and effort to build these applications was a challenge, and over 20 percent cited the end user interface as being a hurdle to building these applications and workflows.

girls cross country team stumbled out of the gate last season, literally and figuratively, and failed to recover as they finished 0-5.
Citing a lack of cohesion and dedication, head coach Craig Collins went a different route when selecting his team for this season.
Collins decided to feature two freshmen and one eighth grader as some of his top runners, and the decision has paid off immediately. The Raiders are out to a 4-1 start, and Collins has seen a level of camraderie amongst his team that was so sorely missed.
"We’re 4-1 due a lot in part to the young freshmen group that came in this year," Collins said. "That young blood that came in is pretty talented and hard-working."
Freshmen Brianna Lawrence and Erin Maude, along with eighth-grader Bianca DeLucia, have paced the Raiders to their strong start and recaptured a sense of team unity. The trio of runners was given all-League honors for their efforts this season.
"Last year, I was on this team and there was no unity between anyone," Lawrence said. "Now that we have a solid, young group of kids, we can all push each other up until we’re all seniors."
Collins's ability to develop his young talent has led to dramatic improvements in their times this season, as well.
"At the beginning of the year I realized I was going to have some good young talent," Collins said. "I made sure they ran together. Even though they’re ninth and eighth graders, they’re really my strongest runners. They’re my varsity kids. But I still had them run as a group, run against other freshmen and see how they do. Seeing a little success, seeing that they were a little special, I wanted them to see and realize that."
In the 1.25-mile Van Cortlandt Race earlier this season, DeLucia, the youngest member of the team, won her race with a time of 7:12. Lawrence and Maude weren't far behind, however, finishing at 7:18 and 7:25 respectively. According to their coach, of the eight races run that day that featured 800 runners, DeLucia's time would've been fourth best.
"If I threw them in varsity races right away and they came in 50th and 38th or whatever, they may not realize how good they actually are compared to kids their own age," Collins said.
The trio of girls has already taken on a leadership role despite their age, one that they will undoubtedly grow into over the course of their years at the high school.
"We’re all leaders, because we’re all always trying our best," DeLucia said. "It doesn’t matter if we feel sick or how early it is. We always push each other. We run together as a team. During the races, when we run by each other, we cheer each other on. Like ‘c’mon stick with us!’ We really work together as a team even though it’s an individual sport."
"We’re trying to work together and get better by pushing each other. We want to get better in the years that come," Maude said.
Despite the rigors of running countless miles over the course of the season, the girls have held up surprisingly well and will look to continue to improve at the State qualifying runs.
"All three of them are right in the mix, and they keep showing a lot of improvement," Collins said. "That’s what I go by, seeing them improve. I know doing a year here at the high school is a lot different than the junior high, too. Next season they’re going to come back knowing what to expect a lot more." |

The discussion aims to map out the future of advanced autos that will abide by the new fuel efficiency standards
Only weeks before the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is expected to complete the
new fuel efficiency standards
, the White House will hold a three-hour forum this Wednesday on the future of advanced vehicles.
The White House Council on Environmental Quality will host a forum on Wednesday called "Advanced Vehicles, Driving Growth." The discussion aims to map out the future of advanced autos that will abide by the new fuel efficiency standards.
"The Obama administration is bringing together diverse auto-sector stakeholders at a White House event to celebrate success stories in the remarkable resurgence of the auto industry and spotlight leaders who represent President Obama's vision of out-innovating and out-manufacturing the rest of the world," said Taryn Tuss, White House CEQ spokeswoman.
"In partnership with auto manufacturers, the United Auto Workers, states and environmental stakeholders, the Administration has developed historic fuel efficiency standards that will nearly double the fuel efficiency of cars and light duty trucks by 2025, save consumers $1.7 trillion at the pump, and encourage innovation and investment in technologies that increase our economic competitiveness and reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
The forum aims to continue taking suggestions for rule changes, mainly from foreign automakers from countries like Germany who feel the rules have been biased toward U.S. automakers.
Last year, major automakers, the state of California, and the White House agreed on the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) proposal for 2017-[[phy_address]] fleet wide fuel economy to 54.5 mpg by 2025
. The effort aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependency on foreign oil.
The new fuel efficiency standards for 2017-[[phy_address]] the auto industry $157.3 billion and add an extra $2,000 to the sticker price of new autos, but it will save consumers $1.7 trillion at the gas pump.
The NHTSA will finalize the fuel efficiency standards by the end of July 2012.

Easier said than done. My own mother actually still claims to be allergic to diesel exhaust, though when she was in Europe a few years back she didn't even seem to notice that most of the cars she rode in were diesels.
If you want to start seeing a change to diesel in America the place to start is cutting the diesels from 3/4 ton trucks down to fit in 1/2 ton trucks. Not only will you see a larger difference in fuel use per vehicle, those trucks also tend to stay on the road a longer number of years and truck people love torque ratings.

I'm sure the older folks that remember them would take lots more advertising and sales pressure to consider one. The other 2/3's of the market doesn't even know about GM having a diesel back then. Put it on the lots, it will sell like hotcakes. As VW has found out...

In VW's case it helped that they were the only company offering a small diesel car in the US.

Off-day away from Mariners
Posted by Geoff Baker
Sometimes, when a season is going down the tubes, it's great to escape from everything with a trip back home. I spent the off-day at my childhood home, visiting my mother, in Laval, Quebec outside of Montreal. I haven't actually lived in the home since 1990. Left the city entirely 10 years ago this week to end my news career and begin covering baseball in Toronto. I now identify more with Seattle as "home" but sometimes it's just nice to get back to where it all began. Don't get back nearly as often as I'd like because of geography, travel and work commitments. Easier to bring family over to Washington for visits.
To get there, had to fly on my regular travel leg from Seattle to Minneapolis to Boston and then bought myself an extra round trip ticket to Montreal. First flight was at 7 a.m. arriving in Montreal at 10:30 p.m. local time. A warning. This video is mostly a baseball-free zone. Sometimes, we need those during a season like this. Enjoy the video. I'm off to the airport now to make the return flight to Boston to cover the Red Sox series starting tonight. We'll have more video from Boston and Fenway Park later this weekend. We'll see what the mood of the team is tonight. Should be interesting.

WBA Champ Austin Trout Issues Challenge to Saul Alvarez for Cinco de MayoWBA Super Welterweight “Regular” Champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout (24-0, 14KOs) issues a challenge to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (39-0, 29KOs) and joins us to discuss his thoughts on today’s announcement of the upcoming May 5th bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KOs) and Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs). After it was announced Wednesday that Mayweather would move up in weight to take on Cotto and not face Manny Pacquiao, the 154 pound division in boxing became a little slimmer. Cotto will now chase the sport’s cash kings and will probably not fight an up and coming contender for the rest of his career. This in turn has a large effect on Trout, who holds the “regular” rights to the WBA Super ...

Jenna Anding, a food and nutrition expert with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, offers these suggestions for eliminating refrigerator odors:
•Unplug the appliance and remove all spoiled food. If you are not sure whether or not the food is spoiled, throw it out anyway. •Remove shelves, crispers, bins and ice trays and wash thoroughly with hot water and dish detergent. Afterwards, rinse the unit with a sanitizing solution made by mixing 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach per quart of water.
•Wash the inside of the refrigerator with hot water and baking soda then rinse with the sanitizing solution. Leave the refrigerator or freezer door open for at least 15 minutes so air can circulate freely. If the odors are strong, you may need to leave the unit open longer.
If odors remain, you can try one or all of the following:
•Wipe the inside out with a solution made of equal parts of water and vinegar. Leave the door open for several days so it can air out.
•Stuff the refrigerator and/or freezer with rolled newspapers. Close the door and leave it alone for several days. Then, remove the paper and clean with a solution of vinegar and water. • Use materials that absorb moisture and odors. These materials include activated charcoal, baking soda, or fresh ground coffee). Place the material in a shallow pan in the bottom of the unit and let the refrigerator run for a few days until the odors disappear. |
86-year-old fell and banged in head and died a week later
A HOSPITAL has apologised for shortcomings in the care of an 86-year-old war veteran who died a week after banging his head in a fall.
Retired civil servant Aubrey Lang fell near a ward’s toilets in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and should have had a brain scan more promptly than the four days it took, an inquest heard yesterday.
A coroner nevertheless found that the poorly man’s death soon afterwards was almost inevitable and recorded an accidental death verdict.
But Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board acknowledged “some aspects of care fell below the standard we would usually expect”.
John Gittins, North Wales Central coroner, heard Mr Lang had been admitted to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd on October 8 but fell twice during his stay.
Widower Mr Lang, a former soldier who later ran Talacre Post Office, hurt his head the second time, the inquest heard. He later died and yesterday a senior doctor admitted a CT scan should have been done more quickly.
The coroner said: “A Dr Chakrabati commented that performing the CT scan may have been done somewhat sooner, but in reality it may not have made much difference.”
The coroner also heard it happened during changes over referring patients to Walton Centre For Neurology and the University Hospital Of North Staffordshire in Stoke. He noted that there was “confusion” among staff.
But the coroner told Mr Lang’s son Geraint Lang at the inquest at Ruthin County Hall: “I am aware that the consolidation of the changes necessary for the referral processes are more apparent than may have been evident to you.”
A pathologist found that Mr Lang, of Plas Tirion, Prestatyn, died from bronchial pneumonia, acute subdural haematoma and congested cardiac failure last October 17. A secondary cause was the fall, with contributory factors being pulmonary fibrosis and ischaemic heart disease.
Mr Lang jnr, of Staffordshire, has complained about his father’s care at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. He told the Daily Post after the inquest: “I want to raise public awareness of the confusion that reigned at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.” He said there was “indecision” over where to send his father.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board spokesman Andy Scotson said: “A scan should have been performed more promptly, and the misunderstanding with Walton Hospital should not have occurred. We are very sorry for this, and we recognise that this has added to the concerns and distress for Mr Lang’s family at this time. While the coroner has noted these did not have any bearing on the outcome in this case, measures are being taken to address these issues and prevent a recurrence.”

I stopped by the College of Charleston’s practice on Wednesday and got my first look at the Cougars during a two-hour session.
I realize that this is only a limited sample size, but here are some thoughts on the Cougars as we get closer to their season opener on Nov. [[phy_address]] defending national champs Louisville.
Here’s your starting Five, well starting Four for the Cougars as far as I can tell.
C – Adjehi Baru
F – Willis Hall
F – Anthony Thomas
G – Anthony Stitt
I know this isn’t earth-shattering news, but the battle for the second guard spot will come down to freshman Joe Chealey, senior Nori Johnson and redshirt-freshman Canyon Barry.
If I had to pick a starter now, my guess is that true freshman Joe Chealey will start at the point guard spot and that Anthony Stitt will be the shooting guard. That puts Stitt at the shooting guard where he’s probably most comfortable and gives the Cougars a true PG in Chealey.
If not, then Stitt will be the PG and Nori Johnson will be the SG, but those three, plus Barry will be used as the main rotation in the backcourt. And don’t forget about Jonathan-Burroughs Cook either, the kid just continues to impress the Cougars coaching staff during the preseason. The Cougars could also go to a three-guard lineup at times with either Thomas or Hall playing the power forward position.
I’ve seen on a few message boards and many are speculating that redshirt-freshman Canyon Barry will start at the SG spot. Canyon will definitely be in the rotation, he’s gotten bigger and stronger since his true freshman season and CofC head coach Doug Wojcik want Barry to become more aggressive offensively. Wojcik also wants to have a deeper bench this season. Wojcik said he hopes to play 9 or 10 guys each game. Again, I think Barry will be coming off the bench, but there’s still more than a month before the season opens.
Anthony Thomas has looked great in the preseason. I thought AT had a solid season a year ago, but look for him to be more of a scorer this season. He’s been very aggressive going to the basket during the practices and workouts I’ve seen and he’s shooting the ball much better from the 3-point line (27.4% a year ago).
Chealey has impressed with me his maturity level. He doesn’t act like a kid whose never played a college game before. He’s quick, athletic and he’s tough. Will be a very good on-the-ball defender this year. Not sure it’s fair for him to make his first collegiate start at the KFC Yum Center in front of 21,000 screaming Louisville fans. That seems to me to be a little excessive, more than just your normal baptism by fire, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see Nori Johnson start against the Cardinals because he’s a senior.
Tulsa transfer David Wishon (7-2) has improved dramatically since watching him in practice last year. He moves better, he has decent touch around the basket and he’s more skilled that he was a year ago. He can pass to the ball out of the double-team. He’ll be a solid back-up to Baru and a defensive force in the middle. He’ll need to improve his footwork and improve on his medium-range jumper (10 to 15 feet), but he’ll give the Cougars some valuable minutes off the bench.
The other freshmen – Jonathan Burroughs-Cook, Terrance O’Donohue and Glenn Pierre Jr. – are still learning the system.
I think Chealey is a little ahead of the other freshmen. But as I stated earlier, watch out for Cook, who just seems to have a knack for making plays. He has excellent quickness and has good range on his jumper, but not sure if he’s a PG or SG. I think he’s still trying to figure that out and like Stitt and Andrew Lawrence will probably play both before it’s all said and done.
O’Donohue will certainly see some PT this year. He’s a long, athletic SF or PF that can run the floor and score in transition. He’s got a smooth looking jumper, but like all freshman he’s still thinking too much.
My guess is that Pierre will redshirt this season. He needs to add some bulk and get stronger. He’s a good defensive player, just not sure he’s physically ready to play at this level yet.
Well, that’s all for now.
Will update when I see a few more practices. |
Sir Mortimer WheelerArticle Free Pass
Sir Mortimer Wheeler, in full Sir Robert Eric Mortimer Wheeler (born Sept. 10, 1890, Glasgow, Scot.—died July 22, 1976, Leatherhead, near London, Eng.), British archaeologist noted for his discoveries in Great Britain and India and for his advancement of scientific method in archaeology.
After education at Bradford Grammar School and University College, London, and military service in World War I, Wheeler directed excavations of Roman remains in Essex in 1919–20. He received a Ph.D. from the University of London in 1920 and then conducted excavations in Wales (1921–27) and in Hertfordshire (1930–33), where he unearthed a pre-Roman settlement near St. Albans. Excavating at Maiden Castle in Dorset (1934–37), he found evidence of a settlement dating from the Neolithic Period, prior to 2000 bc. He conducted further excavations in Brittany and Normandy (1938–39).
After serving in World War II, Wheeler was made director general of archaeology for the government of India (1944–47), where his research focused on the origins and development of the Indus civilization. From 1948 to 1955 he held the chair of archaeology of the Roman Provinces at the University of London’s Institute of Archaeology. He was knighted in 1952 and made a Companion of Honour in 1967. His other distinctions included being chairman of the Ancient Monuments Board for England, a trustee of the British Museum, president of the Society of Antiquaries, and a fellow of the Royal Society. His numerous writings include an extensive number of technical works as well as the popular books Archaeology from the Earth (1954) and Still Digging (1955), an autobiography. Wheeler popularized his subject on television.
Perhaps the most important of Wheeler’s accomplishments were a focus on problem-oriented excavation and the creation of meticulous techniques for excavating sites and recording the materials therein. Among other innovations, he developed the use of a cartesian coordinate system, or three-dimensional grid, with which to record the location of materials found in archaeological excavations. Highly unusual at the time—archaeologists of his era were generally intent on acquiring beautiful objects rather than resolving questions about the past—his techniques have become de rigueur in the field.

Horo moves on after Kearney falling out
Justin Horo has revealed a breakdown in his relationship with former Parramatta coach Stephen Kearney is what delivered the powerful back-rower to Manly.
Despite establishing himself as one of the Eels' most reliable forwards in his first two seasons, Horo admits he fell out favour with Kearney at the start of 2012 - ultimately leading to his exit from the club.
The 26-year-old was dropped by Kearney, a New Zealand teammate of his father Mark during the 1990s, after playing in the first two rounds of 2012, and popped up for a game midway through the year while he also struggled with knee, ankle and shoulder injuries.
Following Kearney's sacking in July, Horo was recalled to the team for the final four rounds under interim coach Brad Arthur.
"I fell out of favour a bit with the coaches at the start of the year and I had a few injuries as well which didn't help when I was trying to work my way back into the team," Horo told AAP.
"It was nothing to do with outside the footy, it was just purely to do with on-field things. Steve wanted me to work on a few things.
"But I was always confident in my ability if I could string some games together.
"And I ended up getting called back into first grade and obviously it wasn't under Steve.
"That's the way it panned out."
The snubbing rocked the youngster's confidence, which took a further blow when he was told by Eels management he was welcome to look elsewhere for a start in 2012, despite having a year to run on his contract.
"I was a bit down on confidence and when it got to the end of the season I didn't know if I was going to get a crack again," Horo said.
But he couldn't be happier to have landed a one-year deal at Manly, where he says he has become well-acquainted with the Sea Eagles' renowned fitness guru Don Single.
Manly's gruelling pre-season schedule has convinced Horo that nothing will come easy under coach Geoff Toovey, but he says he is ready to prove himself worthy of a longer contract.
"I want to prove myself to Manly and I'd love to stay at the club," he said.
"I'm not really big on changing around too much.
"By no means do I think I've got a spot there in the back row given to me.
"I've come here with the expectation that I have to earn a spot. That's the way I'm looking at it."

I should perhaps dedicate this post to everyone who still complains about the Royal Mail in Britain.
Have you ever tried its Polish equivalent, Poczta Polska? No?
I’ve just read a post on one of the Wall Street Journal blogs dedicated to Central and Eastern Europe about the weird experience that is Poczta Polska. And I couldn’t agree more.
Malgorzata Halaba describes her frustrating experience of using Polish post offices, which somehow have failed to notice that the Communism collapsed some 20+ years ago.
Just to clarify, I think that Poland has largely made massive progress when it comes to customer services, something we all thought would never happen.
Every time I go back I am mostly positively surprised by how some places – even within the public sector – have changed and improved their services. There’s still a long way to go, but, unlike even 15 years ago, it’s not unusual to be greeted by a polite smile and served in a nicely lit, clean office.
However, it would seem the Polish Post Office is till trying to catch up. Quite often the service is still bad, and many post offices – presumably to improve their income – have turned into part-time markets, selling everything from stockings to board games and washing powder.
The author of the WSJ post compares her experience of using post offices in Warsaw to a journey in time – back to the 1960s:
It warms my heart every time I have to pick up a registered letter. Usually, after waiting the required 20 minutes, I approach the window and hear an angry bark: “What the does the letter look like? Is it large?”
How am I supposed to know? I wasn’t the one who sent it. I watch the nervous clerk produce three cartons of letters and start to shuffle through them in search of mine – sometimes without success. “Come back in an hour, or better tomorrow,” is what you might hear in the case of misplaced letters.
Yep, sounds like the post office I remember. Although I have to say, I found the post offices in Warsaw particularly bad, so hopefully things have in fact improved elsewhere.
But just like the Royal Mail lost its monopoly in 2006, its Polish equivalent will go through a similar process in 2013. So expect some changes there.
Until then, don’t be surprised if instead of stamps and envelopes your local branch will try to sell you some lovely stockings. |

The largest and loudest faction at a fiery forum on gay marriage in the 60th House District arrived from an unexpected place — a church in Zion, which lies outside the district.
The townhall held Monday, March 4, in North Chicago by state Rep. Rita Mayfield, D-Waukegan, was heavily skewed toward marriage for straight couples only.
The majority, many of them youngsters, held up signs and wore T-shirts denouncing Senate Bill 10, the bill that could make Illinois the 10th state in the nation to legalize gay marriage.
Mayfield, who called the townhall to “educate constituents” on the bill, which was passed by the Illinois Senate on Valentine’s Day and is now headed for a vote in the House, said that while the church is located in Zion, many of its members hail from her district.
“Our sign-in sheet did not reflect Zion addresses,” Mayfield said.
“The majority of the people there were from Waukegan and the Gurnee part of my district.”
Likewise, Mayfield said that the 250 calls she fielded over the weekend from people incensed by an ad in favor of SB10, placed by Illinois Unites for Marriage in the Lake County News-Sun on March 1, were from constituents who left their names and addresses, “who didn’t even mention religion, who said ‘Please vote no.’”
Illinois Unites insists the turnout at Mayfield’s townhall is not an accurate reflection of public opinion for SB10.
The group commissioned a telephone poll in February that show that 54 percent of Democrats in the 60th District support the measure, while 77 percent of Republicans oppose it.
Overall support, the poll found, increased from 41 to 46 percent when participants were informed that the bill offers the same legal rights and protections afforded to other married couples.
Church of Joy Pastor Luis Reyes, who attended the Monday meeting but let his members, including one who said sexual orientation was a matter of choice, do the talking, declined to comment on his church’s participation.
As the meeting came to a close, Church of Joy Associate Pastor Jordan Jones, 31, said it was important for the church, which hosts popular outreach ministries for youth, to participate.
“We have to protect that generation,” Jones said. “This is going to get into the DNA.”
Another pastor, Rev. Chris Fox, of First Congregational United Church of Christ in Waukegan, who staked out one corner of the townhall with other people in favor of marriage equality, argued Church of Joy was wrong to barge in.
“It’s so sad that you bring your people out to preach a message of intolerance and bigotry and hatred,” Fox said.
“Behind the people who are so adamantly voicing opposition is ignorance and fear. I’m thinking there had to be one or two gay children in that group.”
The 150 or so people who packed a room in the North Chicago library for the meeting were sharply divided on SB10 that, according to ACLU attorney Khadine Bennett, “offers same-sex couples the full rights, benefits and responsibilities of civil marriage.”
Rev. Robert Richards, pastor of New Way of Life COGIC in Waukegan, called the parenting of children by same-sex couples “a devastation to the family and to the future.”
Jesse Ritter and Mel Robson, a lesbian couple from Gurnee who brought their 7-week-old son Landon, cooing in his carrier, said they have to haul adoption papers everywhere they go. Under current state law, Robson must legally adopt any children birthed by Ritter. |

Travel Blogs from Pisa
When in Rome!
... and so gorgeous. It blows my mind to be somewhere you've known about for a lot of your life, and to be standing in front of it is truly incredible. It's just as gorgeous as you think it would be. We took it all in and than headed back to our hostel! It was about 40 minutes each way! We had a beer at our hostel bar area and called it a night! Melissa and I do not function well off no sleep so we were both ready to crash. The next day our friends ...
Passing Through Pisa!
... beauty for this prairie girl to handle! After we made our way back to the hostel, we took a little "nap" and accidentally woke up around ten that night, with just enough time and energy to slip into our pajamas and go back to bed for the rest of the night! The next morning we woke up bright and early on a mission! Hiking Cinque Terre, which is a string of five little towns that are built along the Italian Riviera! After waiting a little while in the train station for the first train ...
Turns out it's a bell tower
... the inevitable touristy pictures by the leaning tower. It's quite a bit shorter than you'd expect, in real life. As it turns out, the tower wasn't an originally-straight building that later tipped farther and farther over--it was like that from the start. A lot of the earth in Pisa is made of silt that overflowed the banks of the Arno way way back, so parts of it are kind of unstable and prone to sinking. During the construction of the tower, the base ...

We watched some of the street entertainers in the square (free hugs Tegz??) and wandered back to the hotel before sitting outside on our tiny balcony overlooking Florence rooftops. Lyn was landed to find beer for 1.5 euros a bottle as opposed to the 5 euros for a small ...
Worth the visit
... Florence to Pisa was about an hour and a half so we just had a nap until we basically got there.
When we arrived at Pisa we had a local guild who spoke English. She was really nice and explained the history of Pisa in great detail. We had the chance of going up the tower but if we had done that we would of been stuck of time to look around everything else. So we decided against it.
Our guild took us into Pisa's cathedral and explained when it ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Golden Tulip Galilei - Pisa
Know what you're getting into
We stayed here for one night after arriving on a Ryanair flight from Dublin as we were picking up a rental car the next morning to drive around Tuscany. As others mentioned, no shuttle was available (but if you have a large group, seemingly they will wait for you at arrivals as the shuttle driver was there with the hotel sign at 11:30pm waiting for a group). We were fortunate in that we had no checked luggage and did not have to wait long for a taxi to the hotel (which miraculously was €10 even though it is like 1km in the car).
???? Call this an airport hotel ????
My wife and I have just been to Tuscany during which time we stayed 2 nights in hotel Galilei. It is described as convenient for the airport as it is only .8 kms away and has a shuttle service. Although the hotel itself is as described with good rooms and a modern facilities I fear that the service leaves a lot to be desired.
Shame about the Shortcomings
Good efficient welcome before the authorised time. Rooms good, modern and very clean. BUT ! The shuttle bus only runs 0900- 1200 and 1500- 1800 (confirm). Taxis to airport can be difficult to obtain especially very early (for Ryanair flight) according to Concierge. We were lucky and caught a 'shuttle' taxi at 0500 which had been booked by other travellers for 0430. Route to airport to return a hire car is difficult, worse if it is dark. The Concierge is the only person on duty, front of house, at night and in the early hours and is not allowed to leave reception so don't ask or expect help with luggage whatever your need! The restaurant was providing dinner for a conference of about 100 people so it suspended the normal menu and only provided the same fixed menu as it was providing for the conference guests. Shuttle bus needs to operate, if booked, early and late and continuously to meet the requirements of air travellers whether arriving or departing, if the Galilei is to sell itself as an airport hotel. The present arrangements are not sufficiently foolproof to give passengers any confidence of arriving at the airport on time and as this is the only reason for staying at the Galilei, this shortcoming is fundamental.
NOT near the hotel
only to say this hotel is NOT really near the airport...
you need a taxi (about 15euro) to reach the hotel from the city centre, you need a taxi to reach the airport, you need a taxi to go out for lunch / dinner ...
it is on a noisy street OUT of the city, no restaurants or shops near it. it's OUT of everything.
the street at night is full of "happy girls"...
don't stay here if you want to visit Pisa !
Hotel Gallilei modern and noisy
We were sent to Hotel Gallilei because the hotel we had reserved was overbooked. It seems that hotel Gallilei always has spare rooms because our original hotel seems to make a practice of overbooking and using Gallilei. It is nothing more than a night stop for the airport. Glass and concrete, it has no character although the room was modern, clean and convenient. The hotel is located alongside a major and busy road junction near the airport and is not at all convenient for getting to town on foot; the distance and the areas to go through are against it.
Awesome!!!
Stayed for two nights and loved it! Great new room (6th floor), staff are helpful and very friendly (especially the barkeeper named Elia), breakfast buffet with all the works and free shuttle service into town and airport were really appreciated. Great value for money !!! :-) Will stay again!!!
Luxurious Rooms
Stayed here for one night as we had an early flight from Pisa airport. It was quite tricky to find on foot and not very suitable for walking to due to busy intersection. Room was very lush and had a tv (our first in Italy!). We did walk into the centre of Pisa from the hotel (about 30mins). Problems - no breakfast if you are departing very early and shuttle bus starts at 8am, which was too late for us too. Very close to airport by taxi - about 5mins but it would seem that the minimum fare is 10 euros anyway! As the airport is so close to the centre of Pisa, my advice would be to stay in a hotel in the centre of Pisa itself as a taxi to the airport wouldn't cost any more and you'd have better views and be closer to things happening!
A great airport hotel
We booked a one night stay at My Hotels Galilei since our flight arrived late into Pisa and we were continuing on a motorhome holiday next day.
Stay away from this hotel
They makes promisses they don't intend to keep, and they are telling you lies. At check out, they didn't gave us our passports. When I called them the next morning from Asti, they promissed to send them to me using a next day service. Well, they didn't arrive the next day. When I once again called they startet do tell lies. When I asked to talk to the hotel manager, I got the same lies. The result: I had to drive back to Pisa to cellect the passports, spending EUR 120 on autostrada toll and gasoline, and we had to reschedule our holiday. |
COLUMBUS (Tara Morgan) -- You see it all the time, people walking and texting. But one OSU professor says the distraction has gotten worse and it's putting more people in the ER.
Professor Jack Nasar did a study on people walking while on the phone.
"What we found in the database is from 2004 to 2010 the number of injuries to pedestrians related to cell phone use increased every year. The last year the pedestrian injuries exceeded the driver injuries," said Nasar.
Those getting hurt the most include people under 30 years old and men.
Injuries range from bumps and bruises to broken bones.
Nasar says there are even reports of people dying.
FOX[[phy_address]] to see who's paying attention and who's not.
While many believe they can multi-task, Nasar says your attention is split between your phone and your environment.
"You go rapidly back and forth between things so you're distracted it could be a moment two moments that's enough to have an accident," said Nasar.

1. Potato and corn soup. I made this recipe for dinner last night and I had leftovers for my lunch today. I didn’t add the cream and next time I would only use a litre of stock. To me this was more a soup than a chowder. Was still yummy.
2. Crochet blanket. Perfect to have over your knees when you are working out a Sudoku.
3. Green Tea. Made with real leaves and no tea bag. A great drink on a cold day.
4. Sudoku – Tamar had some great tips that helped me get my head around this, I will confess I am slighty addicted to this app.

There’s no shame in being second best.
While the Crimson Crazies of put up a good fight, it was the Warren Township High School's Blue Devils who emerged victorious when the votes in the were added up Sunday night.
The "Blue Crew" outlasted 15 others schools through four rounds of voting over the last month. As a result, it is they who have secured the Battle of the Fans banner, which will be hung in the Gurnee high school's gymnasium.
Initially, there were two Plainfield schools in the running, but fell short two weeks ago while Plainfield North made it all the way to the final championship round.
Charging strong in the early going and fizzling in the final rounds was the same pattern we saw when Plainfield was fingered as the burb to beat in radio team Eric and Kathy's 101.9-FM/The Mix's annual Suburban Madness Battle of the Burbs. Just as victory was almost ours in that contest, Mokena stepped in and stole the momentum, knocking Plainfield out in the championship round.
And so it goes. Besides, basketball's old news.

They’ve rushed for nearly 1,000 yards – [[phy_address]] – and given up just five touchdowns in those three wins.

Ames, IA (Sports Network) - Georges Niang scored a career-high 19 points, and the Iowa State Cyclones cruised to an 87-53 win over the TCU Horned Frogs in Big 12 Conference action from Hilton Coliseum.
Will Clyburn added 16 points and eight rebounds to help the Cyclones (17-8, 7-5 Big 12) extend their homecourt winning streak to 21 in a row. Tyrus McGee chipped in with 15 points behind a 4-of-7 effort from the perimeter, and Chris Babb finished with 11 points in the victory.
Kyan Anderson had 11 points to go along with eight assists and three steals for the Horned Frogs (10-15, 1-11), who suffered their third straight loss since an upset win over nationally-ranked Kansas on Feb. 6. Connell Crossland joined Anderson in double figures with 10 points.
The Cyclones never trailed in the contest, as they jumped out to a 36-21 halftime lead after holding TCU to 8-of-27 shooting from the floor (.296) in the opening frame.
ISU put the game away by draining 8-of-14 3-pointers over the final 20 minutes to sweep the season series with TCU.

UPDATE - 8:20 p.m., Sept. 20: Kayla Maven and her 2-month-old son returned to their Sicklerville home early Thursday afternoon, police said.
The 16-year-old girl and her infant child were healthy.
Gloucester Township Police Juvenile Investigations Unit and the state Division of Youth and Family Services are looking into the incident.
Authorities still have no word on the whereabouts of Sukhvinder Singh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
South Jersey police are searching for three people tonight in two unrelated missing persons cases: a teen mother from Sicklerville and her infant child; and a gas station attendant from Chesilhurst.
Kayla Maven, 16, and her 2-month-old son, Jeremiah, left their home on foot sometime after midnight Tuesday, Gloucester Township Police said. She reportedly had the child's diaper bag and some baby food with her, but no cell phone; neither do police know what she was wearing at the time.
Earlier in the evening, Sukhvinder Singh, 33, of Chesilhurst, went missing from the BP Gas Station on the White Horse Pike in Winslow Township. The station was left unattended with the power on.
According to an email from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, "Singh is described as an Indian male of Middle Eastern decent, 5-feet, 7-inches tall, 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen [around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday] wearing a blue turban, blue & red shirt, black pants, black sneakers, and a silver bracelet."
Authorities believe the Mavens could be in the Vineland, Cumberland County, area. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit and the Camden County Prosecutor's Office have been notified of the search.
They have no leads on the whereabouts of Singh.
Police urge anyone who has seen the Mavens or who has information about the matter to call 856-228-4500 or the Gloucester Township Crime Stoppers tip line at 856-842-5560.
Anyone with information on Singh's location is asked to call the Winslow Township Police Department at 609-561-3300 or to email [[email_addr]]. |
How does water help generate electricity in a hydropower plant?
Answered by Science Channel
-
Science Channel
-
Water already has energy, so all we have to do is capture and direct it. To make hydropower, water that flows from a river is usually held up by a dam and channeled past one or more turbines. The water catches and spins the turbines' blades. The spinning shaft of the turbine turns a generator, which produces alternating electric current. The current runs through power cables to a transformer, which converts it into high-voltage current that runs through power lines to the public.

Italian trio Il Volo ushers in the holidays with Buon Natale: The Christmas Album .The group takes on American Christmas classics including "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "O Holy Night," and a holiday medley that includes "Jingle Bell Rock," "Let it Snow" and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
Fun Facts About Il Volo: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) They are an Italian operatic pop boy band, consisting of singers: tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto, and baritone Gianluca Ginoble.
2) The three pop-opera singers started their career in 2009, when they met on the second edition of the Italian RAI TV music competition show Ti lascio una canzone, held at the Ariston Theater in Sanremo.
3) On May 2, 2009, Gianluca Ginoble won the competition, singing Andrea Bocelli's "Il mare calmo della sera".
4) During the competition, the three singers were chosen to perform, as a trio, the Neapolitan classic "'O sole mio". After the competition, they continued to perform together under the names "Tre Tenori", "The Tryo", "Il Trio", and finally in the fall of 2010... "Il Volo" (which translates to "the flight" in Italian).
5) In 2010 the trio participated in the charity single "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", a remake of the 1985 hit song "We Are the World". In February 2010 they performed the songs "Granada" and "Un Amore Così Grande" during the 60th Sanremo Music Festival. Also at that festival the trio performed for Queen Rania of Jordan (Regina Rania di Giordania).
The trio is celebrating the Christmas holidays with their brand new PBS special, "Il Volo Buon Natale," premiering nationally on public television stations beginning November 30th . |

Synopsis (Anglais) : THE HISTORY OF FUTURE FOLK tells the hilarious (and possibly exaggerated) origin story of the real life alien bluegrass band, Future Folk, that has been charming NYC audiences with their live act for the better part of a decade. When a comet threatens to destroy their planet, the citizens of Hondo enlist their most decorated soldier, General Trius (Nils d'Aulaire), to search for a new home planet- and wipe out the current inhabitants with a flesh-eating virus. After landing somewhere near Brooklyn, General Trius wanders into a megastore to unleash the terror... when he's suddenly enchanted by a strange and mystical human invention known as "music." They don't have music on Hondo, and since it's the best thing he's ever heard, General Trius immediately abandons his mission to eradicate the human race, assumes the name Bill, starts a family, and launches a one-alien bluegrass act in a tiny bar owned by Larry (Dee Snider). Years later, his peaceful life is disrupted when the Hondonians send a bumbling assassin named Kevin (Jay Klaitz) to get the mission back on track. Although subduing Kevin is no challenge for the great General Trius, the Hondonians have no intention of calling off their plan to eliminate mankind, so Bill and Kevin must join forces to save Hondo, prevent an intergalactic takeover of Earth, and hopefully get some bigger gigs for the universe's first Hondonian bluegrass duo: Future Folk!

…You know, I was quick on the hunt for an image.
Finding the documentation scarce, however, I decided — finally — to check back with Mosul. Being one of those people who either double or halve when asked to recall lengths of time, I can’t tell you how long it’s been. Even if it had been just a couple of months, however, I was surprised to find that the combat units had rotated — and even the photographers were new.
In any case, going through the material, I was stopped still in my tracks by this.
(Because there are a lot of new visitors to the BAG this week, it might be worthwhile to say a quick word about “Your Turn.” As the BAG has grown, more of you have literally picked up the thread and are now doing the analysis with me through your comments. As a result, as much as I’m looking for material to discuss myself, I’m looking for visuals to submit for our mutual interpretation, or –as now — that I can put in your trusting hands.
One thing, though. Please don’t reproach me if I call this a loaded image. I confess, I’m strongly drawn to take the edge off because of how terrible, and terribly uncomfortable it makes me feel.

Absolutely probable. Advanced automotive OBD systems allow a vast amount of information to be transmitted via remote Diagnosis Scan tools. I remember in the early 2000's Daimler TPMS systems could only be reset using radio transmitters or magnets in an empty parking lot. Another good point is why would Chrysler tie their ABS system to their fuel trim parameters? Fiery crash.. Hmm. Even with the car being charred you could still access the OBD parameters using a flash tool if I'm not mistaken. I can only assume that the fuel trims of this car was extremely lean to cause this car to ignite like it did. Under rich conditions the fuel would more than likely cause a lower burning fire resulting in less damage. Correct me if I am wrong. |

On September 15 2012, thousands of citizens from various countries all over the world will take part in a simultaneous global consultation meeting on biodiversity policy and issues. They will be joined by more than 100 Filipinos from all walks of life who have been invited to share knowledge and views on local biodiversity issues and policy gaps.
This global citizen participation project, dubbed “World Wide Views on Biodiversity” or WWViews, was designed to provide policymakers with information about citizens’ views on biodiversity issues. It aims to engage ordinary citizens in the process of policymaking and awareness-raising to sustain a living and healthy planet. On this date, at least a hundred citizens in each participating country will attend day-long meetings starting at dawn in the Pacific and continue until dusk in the Americas. All meetings will have the same agenda and use the same approach in order to make results comparable and useful for policymakers.
This projectis the second of its kind, the first one being Worldwide Views on Global warming which was successfully conducted last September 26 2009. Both events were initiated by the Danish Ministry of the Environment and co-implemented by countries worldwide with coordination support from the Danish Board of Technology and oversight from the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
In the Philippines, WWViews is being implemented bythe World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (DENR-PAWB), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the College of forestry and Natural Resources of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB-CFNR). The September 15 meeting will be held at the Trader’s Hotel in Manila.
Local Citizen Participation on a Global Scale
The idea of WWviews is to introduce citizen participation, not only on the national but on a global level. Each participant will answer the same set of questions at the same time. The strength of this concept lies in the relation between nationally well-coordinated citizen meetings and trans-national analysis.
To ensure the reliability of the results, the citizens at each meeting should reflect the demographic distribution in their country or region with regards to age, gender, occupation, education, and geographical zone of residency. A further criterion is that they should not be experts on biodiversity, neither as scientists or stakeholders.
According to WWViews Project Manager for the Philippines and ICRAF Assistant Project Director Dr. Florencia Pulhin, they are now in the process of identifying possible participants and sending out invitations. She explained that the 100 Filipino participants will be evenly distributed among geographic location (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao), municipal class (urban or rural), age group (young or adult), gender (male or female), educational attainment (elementary, high school, and college undergraduates and graduates), and occupation (unemployed, employed, and self-employed).
Expected Results
Dr. Pulhin further explained that during the consultation meetings, participants will not only learn and discuss about biodiversity issues, but will also have the opportunity to voice out their own recommendations to policy makers at the COP11. Results of the consultation meetings will be instantly accessible through periodic reports posted in the event website, where it can be compared across sectors, countries, and regions.
Results will then be analyzed and packaged into policy report and a short documentary video about the process and results, both of which will be presented at the COP11. Country results will also be presented to national policy makers. By pointing out concerns and priorities central to the public understanding of biodiversity, the results can serve as guide future policy initiatives. Furthermore, by examining public awareness of biodiversity, the results can also serve as important baseline for future awareness raising initiatives.
The WWViews project is also expected to bring about long term impacts, not only for future policy initiatives and further awareness raising activities on biodiversity policy and issues. The project can empower citizens and build their capacity for organizing public participation in complex policy issuesby demonstrating and establishing public participation in nations around the world. Finally, it can establish best practice for citizen participation for the United Nations.
Convention on Biological Diversity
The objectives of WWViews is aligned with the goals of the United NationsConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the implementation of the new Global Biodiversity Strategy signed during the Tenth meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP10) in Japan, October 2010. The CBD recognizes the importance of public awareness and support in the successful implementation of the strategic plan and its translation into national strategies and action plans.
The WWViews event is expected to lead to a deeper understanding of biodiversity issues among the participant citizens. It can also pave the way towards achieving the first strategic goal of the Global Biodiversity Strategy which aims to make people aware of the values of biodiversity. Furthermore, it can forge a deeper engagement among ordinary citizens and decision-makers.
As agreed upon during the COP10, two groups of citizens are particularly important in achieving the goals of the CBD. First is the general political constituency and second, the part of the constituency that is made up of young people whose views on biodiversity will shape future policies and actions. It is based on this that WWViews organizers structured the meetings to involve participants not just from these two groups, but from various segments of society.
Results of the WWViews meetings will be presented to policy makers gathering on October 2012 in India for the Eleventh Conference of Parties (COP11). This is to make decision-makers more attentive to the informed views of their constituents and to aid in the discussions on future policy measures for preserving biological diversity. |
CAFO RULE CHANGES TO BE DISCUSSED AT HEARING
The director of the Alabama Pork Producers, Brian Hardin, was prepared to speak at a hearing to discuss stricter setbacks for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) Aug. 11, at 10 a.m. at the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) office in Montgomery.
This is the first proposed change to CAFO since ADEM adopted the regulations in April 1999. The proposed changes apply only to new and expanding operations. Existing farms would be covered by current regulations.
The proposed changes would increase setbacks between waste lagoons and property lines, streams and wells. Farmers, Alabama Farmers Federation staff members and several environmental groups met with ADEM officials for more than two years to develop the original CAFO rules.
"We believe that farmers are doing a good job of protecting the environment, and we don't believe further regulations are necessary," Hardin said. "We can live with these proposed changes, but if more regulations are handed down, it could put an end to pork production in Alabama." |

Description
A long steeply overhanging wall. Its south-facing aspect means it stays pretty warm in the winter, and it is sheltered enough that it can be comfortably climbed even on windy days at Pena Blanca. The sheer length of the wall make it a great place for a large group to hang out, although there are not too many developed problems. Archeological evidence also makes it a nice spot to chill, although the grinding holes can be found all over Pena Blanca.
Getting There
Located a few hundred yards east of the volcano. It is easily visible from the popular Rave Cave. Trail is faint at best, but the low desert flora make for easy walking. |

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Dixie County Attorney Jennifer Ellison says county commissioners will probably take their time deciding whether to appeal a federal judge's decision ordering the removal of a six-ton granite monument of the Ten Commandments in front of the county courthouse in Cross City.
Ellison says she is personally disappointed in the court's action, but noted Tuesday that an official response won't come until commissioners review the decision.
Federal Judge Maurice Paul ordered the monument be removed within 30 days of his July 15 ruling. Dixie County commissioners have two scheduled meetings before the deadline, the first on Thursday and again on Aug. 4. Paul's ruling sided with the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. |

WONEWOC, Wis. — They see dead people on Spook Hill.
They’re walking around the grounds, sitting in the dining hall and in the pews at the abandoned church. Kids, heard by visitors but usually only seen by those trained to see into the spirit world, play outside the rustic and run-down cabins.
“Oh yeah, they’re all over the place,” says Judy Ulch, a jovial 60-year-old who claims not only to see dead people but also receive messages from them that she passes on to their loved ones who pay $40 per half hour for her services.
“Sometimes I see them so close, I see the stubble on their face,” Ulch says.
Ulch and other self-described mediums live at the Wonewoc Spiritualist Camp every summer, welcoming guests from around the country who come for visits between 15 minutes and overnight to get insight into their lives from the dearly departed.
They seek hope, solace and inspiration. And sometimes they just come for a fun day out with friends. Or to try to disprove what Ulch and others claim to be their ability to see spirits.
Wonewoc is one of 13 spiritualism camps across the country. It first opened in 1893 and is in its 106th summer season. For years visitors arrived by train and climbed the hill to the wooded bluff overlooking the small town, with a population now of just over 800.
The 37-acre camp is run by followers of Spiritualism, a religion that started in the mid-1800s and reached the height of its popularity at the end of that century, but that still maintains an estimated 250,000 followers.
Some tenets of Spiritualism are that people live on after death and they can be communicated with using a medium like Ulch or Hilda First. First claims messages from a spirit named Fairchild who speaks to her in Shakespearean English.

Described as a tech leader with a unique view of IT innovation and a deep understanding of technical strategy, DuBois has held several key leadership positions at Microsoft, including general manager of IT and vice president of Microsoft IT Products and Services. “Jim has demonstrated outstanding leadership in managing our IT organization through the transition period while continuing to position IT as a strategic asset and growth lever for Microsoft,” said Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner in a statement. |
It’s been a big year for Chris Young, who got New Artist nominations from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association and is up for his first Grammy Award for “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song).”
But one other major moment came when he recorded “Love Don’t Let Me Down,” a duet with Patty Loveless that appears on the Country Strong soundtrack. The movie, which stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw, comes out nationally Jan. 7, and the duet is something of a milestone for Chris.
“I never thought I’d be able to sing on a movie soundtrack or sing with Patty Loveless,” Chris notes. “It’s cool how more and more of that stuff is coming together and really happening in my career, and it’s nice to be able to say that.”
“Love Don’t Let Me Down” was actually the original title of Country Strong, and Chris had the good fortune to get his hands on the song. It seemed like it needed to be a duet, and then it came down to finding the right person to put her voice on it.
“When we originally kind of threw everything around, somebody brought up the name Patty Loveless,” he remembers. “I was like, ‘She’s not gonna do a duet we me. She doesn’t even know me.’ And so [we] ended up gettin’ in touch with her through the label, and you know, it was kind of cool, ‘cause she was interested in doin’ it and heard the song and liked the song. And man, [I’m] just so glad it came together. You know, one, this is my first time ever bein’ on a movie soundtrack, and then, two, to be able to have it be a really cool song with somebody that I admire in the music industry is nice.”
Chris and Patty are not alone in Country Strong. There are more than 50 songs used in the movie, and 13 of them appear on the soundtrack album, including performances by Ronnie Dunn, Trace Adkins, Sara Evans and Lee Ann Womack. And Gwyneth sang the title track with backing vocals by Patty Griffin and Vince Gill. |
The inventors of a novel rubber ‘Wine Condom’ that reseals wine bottles from the outside hope to strike it lucky with a fundraising drive.
Mother and son team Laura and Mitch Strahan are seeking Kickstarter funding for the product (pictured) that they say sits flush with the rim of the bottle, making it an easier fit for fridge doors and shelves than closures that seal from the inside.
They plan to raise $7,500 to meet minimum orders and produce packaging, and say the product – designed to be thrown away after one to two uses – can also be used on beer or soda bottles. |

Lillian Blanche Amundson, 102, of Vermillion, passed away on May 7, 2013, at Sanford Vermillion Care Center in Vermillion. A visitation was held from 6 to 7 p.m., with a rosary at 7 p.m., on Sunday, May 12, 2013, at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Vermillion. A funeral mass was held at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 13, 2013, at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Vermillion with Fr. John Fischer officiating. Burial took place immediately following the service in Calvary Cemetery in Vermillion.
Lillian was born on Sept. 26, 1910, in rural Vermillion to Xavier and Ida (Couture) Millette. She was raised in rural Vermillion. After she graduated from University High School, she went on to spend most of her working life as a health care provider. After high school she also embarked on the other passion in her life, her family. She married the love of her life, Burdette Leslie Amundson, on Aug. 15, 1928.
Throughout her long life her love of caring for people was a highly evident and strong trait. This trait was shown at its strongest when it came to the love and care she showed her family, which at the time of her passing had swelled to more than 100 members. She held a special place in her heart for each one of them. She was well known as a woman who never met a child that she did not love.
She is survived by her children, Selma Jean (Don) Gant, Dean Amundson, Ida Lou (Paul) Horner, Judith (Maynard) Rasmussen, and Sandra Amundson; 27 grandchildren; 61 great-grandchildren; 16 great-great-grandchildren; and her brother, Dick Millette.

What is Yardbarker?
Yardbarker is the largest network of sports blogs and pro athlete blogs on the web. This site is the hub of the Yardbarker Network, where our editors and algorithms curate the best sports content from our network and beyond. |
I set up this blog in January 2011 hoping to add to the wonderful writing that exists on the internet revolving around Manchester United. The reason for using the title "Written Offside" for my site was originally to reflect a different slant on the club but was also a reminder that it is dangerous to ever write United off as I have found numerous times in my lifetime.
I have been a supporter of the club for nearly thirty years. I have fond memories of 1983 with the FA Cup win over Brighton making up for the Milk Cup loss to Liverpool earlier that season.
I have continued to support United through the lows of the latter part of Atkinson's management and the early years of Alex Ferguson to the wonderful highs of winning the Premier League in 1993, the treble in 1999 and the Champions League in 2008.
My favourite players over the years I have supported the club include Bryan Robson, Jesper Olsen, Mark Hughes, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes and Roy Keane.
This blog has evolved into regular posts previewing and reviewing first team games and also featured posts regarding topics of interest.
I also have set up a facebook page where I will post links to the best of the newspapers each day and also post links to not just my articles but also the best of the United blogs.
I have found the use of Twitter a wonderful medium to meet other like minded supporters. Please feel free to follow me and let me know your thoughts on the club and my posts.
I am always on the lookout for talented writers to contribute to the site so please get in contact if you are interested via the Contact us page or message me via Twitter.
Many thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy what you read. |
The fuel pump relay may fail resulting in a "no start" condition, the engine will crank over but will not start and run. Checking for proper fuel pressure would be the first step in diagnosing this concern.
Front End May Be Loose When Braking
When braking, a loose feeling from the front end can be caused by worn strut rod bushings. Worn bushings will require replacement. After they are replaced the wheel alignment should be checked.
Engine Stalling Due to Mass Air Flow Sensor Failure
Engine stalling/stumbling problems can be caused by a failing mass air flow sensor.
Erratic shifting can be caused by a sticking kick-down cable
Delayed and/or erratic shifting can be caused by the transmission kick-down cable sticking. Since the oil pan has to be removed to replace the cable, have the shop replace the transmission filter at the same time

1991 Volvo 940 Reviews
A tremendous driver on the highway, the car gets up to speed fast fast and is smooth at speed, and sports are very forgiving ride around town. The car is heavy and in town driving fuel economy reflects that. Plastic trim/fitments eventually fall apart, disconnect, become the victims of plastic fatigue, etc. and this is the most noticeably sub par aspect of this model/year. Mine has an automatic transmission. It shifts smoothly, and keeps the car's power band in play appropriately under all driving conditions. The car was rated very safe in 1991, although watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBDyeWofcLY for crash info on today's highways. |
WASHINGTON — Plans to build an interstate highway between Las Vegas and Phoenix drew some positive feedback from Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx at a White House meeting this week, according to a Nevada lawmaker.
Rep. Steven Horsford said the Cabinet secretary agreed to meet with members of Congress from Arizona and Nevada who have formed a caucus to promote I-11.
Horsford said he issued the invitation as House Democrats met on Tuesday evening with President Barack Obama and top administration officials. Besides hearing from Obama, lawmakers took the opportunity to buttonhole his deputies on their local needs.
The proposed I-11 has become the priority of business interests who say the roadway could make Southern Nevada a crossroads of commerce in the intermountain West. The roughly 300-mile stretch between Phoenix and Las Vegas would be a key segment in a route that would eventually link Mexico to Canada.
Foxx was familiar with the I-11 effort, Horsford said.
“He had knowledge that this was a priority and he knew that the initial corridor designation had been made,” the Nevadan said. “He said with the president’s focus on infrastructure he thought this was the type of project we needed to advance.”
“We’re trying to do everything we can to make sure that project is at the top of the priority list as infrastructure funding becomes available,” Horsford said.
The lawmaker, whose district includes all or part of seven rural counties in addition to an urban slice of Clark County, said he also obtained an assurance that Veterans Secretary Eric Shinseki will render a final decision shortly on a new VA clinic for Pahrump in Nye County.
“The funding has been approved, the procurement is done but because of the amount of the project it requires the secretary’s approval,” Horsford said.
The wait has been more than a year but “Secretary Shinseki assured me we would get an answer,” Horsford said. The lawmaker attributed the delay to “the slow federal process and the bureaucracy.”

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess fat is accumulated in your body to the extent that it has an adverse effect on your health. You not only grow in size which makes you look less attractive, but obesity also increases your risk of developing life-threatening conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as reduces your life expectancy. Health experts are therefore concerned over the rising number of obese people in society. Scientifically, obesity is measured in terms of Body Mass Index (BMI). If you have a BMI of above 30, you are termed as obese. People with a BMI of above 40 are called morbidly obese. Health experts are concerned over the rising rate of obesity they therefore call for wholesale lifestyle changes as well as the importance of taking help of modern methods of weight loss to prevent adverse health conditions. superslim diet pills Protein hormones such as insulin, leptin, adiponectin, IGF-1, and ghrelin respond to what you eat, especially to carbs. Keeping all of these in balance regulates your metabolism - i.e., your ability to burn fat. If you eat fast carbs that spike your blood sugar, the hormone response is too strong and lasts too long. The overall result is metabolic imbalance (e.g., overstorage of fat). visceral fat loss I realize this may all seem a little on the comical side, but that is only because of our conditioning. Flatulence is a symptom of acid reflux and GERD. Excessive flatulence may be cause for concern and you should consult with your physician. how to take garcinia cambogia to lose weight The other key to gaining strength is avoiding failure. You do not want to perform a max lift each time you train. Rather, you need to condition your muscles to complete a set number of reps with out struggling. For example, I d advocate performing 3 reps using a weight you can lift 4-5 times. This promotes myofibrillar hypertrophy instead of sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. The concept is an essential distinction when it comes to focusing on muscle size vs. strength. As discussed in Visual Impact Muscle Building, the most effective way to gain muscle size is through sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (high rep coaching to failure). Nonetheless, considering that sarcoplasm is really a fluid, the top approach to boost muscle density and strength is by way of myofibrillar hypertrophy (low rep training avoiding failure). almased turbo diet Endometriosis fast fat loss diet

Hi,
Sorry to see that you never got any answers.
I will be travelling to Bulgaria in April, 2008. Everyone suggests using the buses rather than the trains.
Would you like to post something about your own experiences? It would really be most appreciated!
Many thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I was interested in one person's personal experience...
I have been doing a lot of research, and as mentioned above almost everyone recommends buses.

Train travel in Bulgaria is just fine. The reason many people choose buses is that they are more flexible - i.e. they cover more destinations and are more frequent.
If you want to travel from Sofia to Varna or Burgas, taking the overnight train is a good approach...
So all in all you may be better off with a bus service for most of your trip. I have information on my travels in Bulgaria at http://travel.chinafinds.com

Hi
I'm currently living in Bulgaria. The train travel is very nice here in Bulgaria. You can really get to most any big town by train in Bulgaria. There is a train line that runs from Sofia through the north to Varna. You can go to Veliko Turnovo on this line which is a popular town. Another line goes south to Bourgas. Also another big line that goes through the middle of the country to Bourgas.
If your going from Sofia and the train doesn't go there it would probably be easier to take a bus. Busses from sofia tend to be more expensive, but definatly faster.
Trains are more comfortable, but cheaper.

Jaya Holdings announced it has signed a contract to charter its newbuild DP2 Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) Jaya Vigilant for a long term operation in the Indian Ocean, offshore Mozambique. The two-year contract, which includes charterer’s options, has a value of more than $20 million.
Jaya Vigilant, designed as a large PSV, is now being upgraded with additional equipment required for the charter’s work scope prior to delivery from Jaya’s own yard in Batam, Indonesia at the end of September 2013. The work scope includes Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) support, survey work and core sampling in water depths of up to 2,000 meters and thus requires a 50 ton, subsea rated, deep water crane and a mezzanine deck for the ROV spread, as well as additional communications kit, survey pole equipment and enhanced passenger facilities on board.
Jaya Vigilant is the second of Jaya’s large PSVs. The first vessel in the series, Jaya Valour was upgraded and delivered at the end of July this year. She is operating on fracking and coil tubing projects in South East Asia under a term contract, as previously announced.
Similar to her sister ship, Jaya Vigilant is highly versatile and customisable with full under deck cargo capacity for rig supply work and 1,000 square meters of clear deck space for either cargo or the installation of light construction equipment. The vessel has more than 5,000 tons of cargo deadweight capacity and both brine and mud tanks, in addition to firefighting equipment to FiFi [[phy_address]] She features a gym and an internet café on board for passengers and crew, and complies with SPS 2008.
Jaya Vigilant and her sister are built with molded beams of 20m and 8,000 brake horsepower main engines, as well as two bow thrusters and two stern thrusters.
With the delivery of Jaya Vigilant in September, Jaya will have seven newbuilds remaining in its current shipyard orderbook. Two of these new build vessels slated for delivery from Jaya’s yard in Batam are purpose built ROV support vessels with large subsea cranes and diesel electric propulsion.

WHEN OPERATION Cuetzalan Tiger swung into action early last week, its aim was to provide a group of off-duty British soldiers, sailors and airmen with a month of quiet exploration of the darkest reaches of Mexico.
By yesterday what had started as an "adventurous training exercise" of Latin America's largest cavern complex by a joint- services caving club had become what one Foreign Office official in London bluntly described as a "diplomatic dog's breakfast".
The 13 members of the British team, including six men who had to be rescued from the remote Alpazat cave system after becoming trapped for eight days by flood water, were last night being "interviewed" by immigration officials after the Mexican government ordered they be taken to a detention centre in Mexico City.
The official inquiry into whether they have broken Mexican visa laws capped a calamitous week which put the hitherto low-profile Combined Services Caving Association at the centre of full-blown international incident complete with a rebuke from a president and allegations of clandestine uranium prospecting.
A senior Mexican minister made clear the lack of amusement in the country at the activities of the Britons - two civilians and 11 members of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force - by ordering a criminal investigation of Operation Cuetzalan Tiger's compliance with strict immigration rules.
Armando Salinas, the deputy interior secretary, said: "They will be placed in the custody of immigration authorities. We have reason to suppose that their actions could touch on our immigration law. Statements will be taken regarding their activities to determine if these people violated the general law... Their stay was legal as tourists but there are indications that their activities were not of this type."
The row was centred on whether the British team, who had financed most of the pounds 15,[[phy_address]] of their four-week expedition themselves, had followed the correct procedure before they entered Mexico to explore and map the Alpazat caves, a labyrinthine 60-mile network near the town of Cuetzalan in the centre of the country, 110 miles north-east of the capital.
The Mexican embassy in London said the tourist entry obtained by the team would cover normal leisure activity such as caving. But the group's plans to produce a detailed map of the system required a special scientific visa, which had not been sought.
The matter was exacerbated by separate legislation which bans training by foreign military forces on Mexican soil. |

Changes in Relative Wages, 1963-1987: Supply and Demand Factors
AbstractA simple supply and demand framework is used to analyze changes in the U.S. wage structure from 1963 to 1987. Rapid secular growth in the demand for more-educated workers, "more-skilled" workers, and females appears to be the driving force behind observed.changes in the wage structure. Measured changes in the allocation of labor between industries and occupations strongly favored college graduates and females throughout the period. Movements in the college wage premium over this period appear to be strongly related to fluctuations in the rate of growth of the supply of college graduates.

Commissioner: "Accountability Is the Bedrock"
DATA PROTECTIONApril 19, 2012
Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart and two provincial privacy commissioners have together released guidance aiming to help private-sector organizations build privacy management programs, according to a press release. "Getting Accountability Right with a Privacy Management Program" advises businesses and organizations to take data protection seriously--especially as data collection and management becomes more pervasive--and aims to assure Canadian businesses that there is consistency among commissioners' expectations. British Columbia Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said, based on what commissioners see in their investigations, it's necessary to outline the basics of privacy management. Stoddart noted that accountability is the bedrock of Canadian privacy law. |

Cloud computing continues to promise cost-effective ultra-flexible power to businesses, but at the expense of having direct control over corporate data.
And with firms increasingly concerned about data governance, and in particular the geographical location of their information – especially in the wake of the Prism scandal – some of the core concepts of the cloud – such as the fact that the data could be housed wherever the cloud provider's data centres are located – seem at odds with businesses' needs.
However, cloud use continued to grow throughout 2013. Here are [[phy_address]] important cloud stories from this year.
10. Francis Maude hails G-Cloud as it expands to over 1,000 suppliers
October saw the government announce that its G-Cloud programme had expanded again, with services available from over 1,000 providers. The G-Cloud programme is designed to enable the public sector to purchase cloud-based services in the most cost-effective way possible while ensuring customers do not suffer from vendor lock-in.
9. Green Light of National Grid's Cloud Move
The National Grid is in the process of switching from using its own internal data centres to using a CSC-hosted cloud, and believes it can do so without negatively impacting on its security or failing to meet targets. In April, National Grid programme delivery manager Kevin Green told Computing about the plans.
8. Warning over looming global cloud computing skills shortage
"There's going to be a fairly large shortage of such skills," Bobby Soni, chief platform and services officer for risk management solutions provider RMS told Computing in September.
He emphasised a "...need to create courses or education material and paths for these types of skill specialisations, including vocational courses to establish them at a faster rate."
7. Data now safer in the cloud than in-house, says Mazars chief
February saw Jayson Dudley, group infrastructure manager at accountancy firm Mazars argue that private clouds now represent a better option for more secure and manageable data retention than traditional in-house data centre storage.
"It seems a mismatch in someone's knowledge to say ‘we need to keep this in-house' when it's actually safer in the cloud," he said during Computing's 'The Importance of Archiving' web seminar.
6. Good news for cloud firms as more services quit the data centre
The Computing Data Centre Summit 2013 took place in September and opened with the presentation of Computing research into data centre trends. It provided good news for cloud providers, revealing how more businesses are switching to cloud in order to increase flexibility and reduce costs.

I’ve only ever been to a gig by myself once: none of my friends wanted to see The Good, the Bad and the Queen. I don’t think many of them knew who they were. It was a freezing November evening, and I didn’t know where I was going. I asked three people for directions that night, and one of them told me that “God would guide me there.”
It’s really easy to say you’d die for someone you love, but it’s a lot more difficult to say that Damon Albarn is maybe the only musician that I would risk being stranded in Elephant and Castle for. Damon is my hero, because he’s always done what he believes to be right for the music, and he’s always tried to connect grander ideas with his audience. Whether it’s Blur, Gorillaz, a super-group or an opera, Albarn manages to always stamp his melancholic melodies over his work, and he always manages to take his career somewhere new and exciting.
Here are my top 25 of his songs, from any of his projects. And these are songs that are being judged for their Albarn efforts, rather than anything anyone else brought to the table.

Vermillion adds two more victories to season By Parker Knox
Sportswriter Vermillion scored in double figures for the fifth and sixth times last week and added two more victories, stretching its winning streak to five and its season's record to 7-1. The Tanagers, who played a non-league contest at Dakota Valley Tuesday, return to the road at Bon Homme Sunday and at Beresford next Wednesday. Vermillion built a 7-0 lead over the Watchdogs at Prentis Park last Wednesday, but a five-run Beresford fifth made it a ballgame. The Tanagers responded with two in their half of the fifth inning and four more in the sixth for a 13-5 lead. Beresford answered with two in the sixth but got no closer than the 13-7 final score. Starter Nick Anglin allowed no earned runs during his four-inning stint and walked only one. Cory Taggart threw three innings in relief, giving up the seven runs, only three of which were earned while fanning a pair and walking the same number. Kyle Nemec had a 2-for-2 day at the plate while Taggart, JR Moore, Brian Hansen and Grant Lueders each had two hits apiece and combined for nine runs batted in. On Sunday against the Stickney/ Mount Vernon/Hanson/Ethan collaboration, Moore came within one out of a complete seven-inning game, striking out five and walking none. Lueders made the most of his opportunity to pick up a save, throwing one pitch to end the game. The Tanagers scored four in the top of the first, starting with a leadoff home run over the right-field fence by Sam McBride. SMVHE got one run back as its leadoff man likewise homered. Each team scored twice in the next two innings, and both clubs scored three times in the fourth. Vermillion's run in the fifth made it a 10-6 game. Tyson Gau's second homer of the game in the bottom of the seventh brought the home team to within 10-7, but that's where they stayed, thanks to Lueders. Andrew Eidem had a three-hit day as a hitter. Brian Hansen was 2-for-4, including a double and three RBIs. Nemec drove in a pair on a 1-for-3 day, and Lueders had a double and a run batted in. |

The Ichthyology collection comprises whole, wet, voucher specimens in 70% ethanol (98%), specimens maintained as dry skeletons (0.3%) and cleared and stained preparations in glycerine (1.7%). Ichthyology also has a large, geographically and taxonomically diverse tissue collection housed in a -80°C freezer for long term storage. Other ancillary collections include a large slide and digital image collection of specimens and locations (some of which are linked to specimen records through the database), a large field note collection and a map collection.
The wet specimens are housed in a state-of-the-art fluid collection facility, opened in 1996. The facility has 2,400 square feet of collection storage space on four floors and is shared with Herpetology, Mammalogy, Ornithology, Entomology and Invertebrate Zoology. The collection storage environment is maintained at 65°F year-round by an HVAC system. Specimens are housed in state of the art glassware and stainless steel tanks and protected by a sprinkler fire suppression system and UV-shielded lighting. The division has both morphological research facilities and a shared molecular systematic laboratory.
Collection Strengths:
The University of Kansas Ichthyology collection contains more than 660,000 specimens of fishes from around the world and is the basis of the research and educational activities of the Division of Ichthyology. The collection has an emphasis on freshwater fishes of the central United States and also has significant marine and estuarine collections. The fish collection has representation from 3171 taxa (297 families and 1262 genera) and 79 countries including Ecuador, Fiji, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua and various marine localities. The frozen tissue collection continues to expand rapidly and has broad representation of both marine and freshwater fish diversity - 8800 individual tissue samples from 2384 taxa (297 families and 1077 genera) and 38 countries (Australia, Belize, Ethiopia, Fiji, Nepal, Seychelles, South Africa and Tonga etc., as well as oceanic localities). The collections and the scope of research activities in the division continue to grow due to the ongoing activities of ichthyology staff and students.
The collection is used by national and international researchers as well as by state and federal agencies. The Division of Ichthyology is designated as a Regional Center in the Midwest and Great Plains Regions (Collette & Lachner 1976, Copeia 1976: 625-642; Poss and Collette 1995, Copeia 1995: 48-70) and is among the top twenty ichthyological collections in the country. Almost 60% of the specimens in the collection are from the Great Plains Region. The collection is an important resource for anyone interested in the region's fishes. The data concerning these faunas are not extensively duplicated by other ichthyological collections. |

Houlihan’s Restaurants Inc. is in talks to sell itself in a deal that could garner nearly $100 million, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The report, citing sources familiar with the situation, says the Leawood-based casual dining chain is looking to private equity firms and other restaurant companies as possible buyers. Houlihan’s declined to comment for the report.
Houlihan’s, owned by private equity firm Goldner Hawn Johnson Morrison, reported $145 million in 2011 revenue and operated 46 corporate and 45 franchised restaurants under the Houlihan’s, Devon and J. Gilbert’s brands, according to the report.
