Washwood Heath train depot and control centre
Washwood Heath Depot will be HS2’s central control centre and maintenance depot, which will create around 500 long-term jobs in Birmingham’s Washwood Heath.
At the site, a specialist contractor will work with HS2 Ltd to transform the 30 hectare brown field site into the nerve centre of the HS2 network. From this point, next to the main line into Birmingham Curzon Street, HS2’s fleet of state-of-the-art high-speed trains will be serviced and maintained, 24 hours a day, seven days a week – ready to provide an unparalleled level of frequency and reliability for passengers across the UK.
The depot will include a 40,000 m2 Rolling Stock Maintenance Building, Carriage Wash, Automatic Vehicle Inspection Building and 14 sidings where trains can be stored overnight.
Also on the same site will be the Network Integrated Control Centre, the centre of the network’s state-of-the-art signalling and control systems as well as office buildings for cleaners and drivers.
Once operational, Phase One and 2a will have a fleet of at least 54 trains which will be based at Washwood Heath. These 200m long units can be doubled up to create 400m long trains and will serve destinations beyond the HS2 network – like Liverpool, Preston, Carlisle and Glasgow – via a connection to the existing West Coast Main Line at Crewe.
HS2 Ltd launched a search for a specialist contractor to build the Washwood Heath train depot and control centre in February 2021. Bidders are expected to be shortlisted for the single-stage design and build contract in the summer with contract award in 2023.
The buildings in the depot will be designed and constructed to meet BREEAM excellent standards.
The design intent for the overall site seeks to enhance social and environmental benefits for the surrounding community, provide an enhanced visual appearance for the area and improve west – east connectivity. A transition zone between the depot site and the surrounding communities will be established seeking to provide a smooth boundary wherever possible, public parking outside the security fence, sustainable drainage systems, flood risk mitigation, noise mitigation and visual screening.
In August 2020, the first rail freight delivery of aggregate arrived at HS2’s Washwood Heath site in Birmingham, signalling the start of HS2’s major programme to take up to 1.5 million lorries off the roads to cut carbon emissions.
Over the next decade, up to 15,000 freight trains will haul 10 million tonnes of aggregate to HS2 construction sites. Each freight train replaces around 70 lorries, representing a massive reduction in carbon emissions and marking a significant investment for Britain’s rail freight sector.
The Washwood Heath Railhead site, managed by HS2’s main works civils joint venture Balfour Beatty VINCI, took the first delivery from HS2 preferred aggregates supplier Rail Stone Solutions (RSS) and their rail haulage partner GB Railfreight.
At Washwood Heath, 10 trains per week will each bring around 1,500 tonnes of aggregate supplied by RSS, which will be used to construct a large piling platform for the Bromford tunnel approaches, railway embankments, as well as haul roads around the site, which helps to limit the amount of vehicles on the public highway.
Other sites include HS2’s Rail Logistics Hub at Willesden which will welcome up to eight freight trains a day.

Demolition complete at the Washwood Heath Depot site
The Washwood Heath site was formerly home to the disused Metro-Cammell railway works which closed in 2004. A team from HS2’s early works contractor LM, completed the demolition of the buildings on the site last year, ready for the start of construction.


Federal budget reaction: it's time for not-for-profits to speak with one voice
Every budget hopes to balance its positive message of "Don't worry, be happy, we're spending money on things you care about" with its negative message about the money the government is taking away from people they hope you don't like.
The targets this time round are foreigners (foreign aid to be cut), uni students (fees to rise), banks (a new tax) and people on the dole (new hoops to jump through).
Against this, the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the Gonski needs-based school provision - two of the foundation pillars of a good society - appear to have finally gained bipartisan acceptance, at least in principle.
Just to remind you of how long progress can take, a disability insurance scheme was first floated during the prime ministership of Gough Whitlam, back in 1975. It's been a long, hard slog since then, with many people flagging or retiring or dying before the goal was reached; but if enough people bash their head against a wall for long enough, the wall will fall down.
These changes in education and disability funding mean, among other things, that the size of the not-for-profit sector will increase, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of the economy. Education and disability care are both areas with a high proportion of not-for-profit enterprises (as compared to, say, mining - very few community groups there). They face immense challenges to meet the demands that are going to be placed on them, and they'll be hiring.
It'd be nice to think that those sectors would put some tiny fraction of their resources into organising to act together, to represent the interests of their clients every time the cake is being cut, and to speak with one voice in the corridors of power. Till now, not-for-profits have tended to think that the good they did was so obvious that people should just give them the money without their having to ask. "We'll pay money to rattle tins, but not to shake up ministers." It's surprising how well that doesn't work. It has to change.
The rest of the not-for-profits will be as ever trying desperately to keep up with the pressure of more work and higher wages. They'll be, as always, praying that the Treasury's sunny forecasts of rising wages and a buoyant economy come true and feed into a rising public willingness to donate some fraction of the greater prosperity to good causes.
And that generosity is going to have to include the environment, too, because if you want to save the reef or the potoroo or the Antarctic ice sheet you'll have to chase up one of the NFPs whose mission that is. Because we have heard no word on either side of politics - and nothing whatsoever in the budget - about climate change. The greatest moral issue of our generation will have to wait another year.


Editorial: Mob arrests net rich collection of nicknames
For an organization that is regularly declared dead, the Mafia has proved surprisingly resilient. It has to be the nicknames. They're just too good to lose.
When the story broke that law enforcement had arrested 119 people in raids in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, news organizations gleefully and gratefully recorded their colorful monikers - "Baby Shanks," "Nerves," "Jimmy Gooch."
Some of the nicknames are straightforward. "JoJo" is a Joseph and "Big Tony" is an Anthony. And some of them, like "Bobby Glasses," "The Professor" and "Johnny Bandana," clearly come from appearances. But "Jimmy Carwash"? With "Vito Love," it's probably best not to ask.
And do they really call each other by these names? Take "Jack the Whack." Is he "Mr. Whack" until you're on a first-name basis?
There does seem to be a certain theme to some of the nicknames: "Meatball," "Tony Bagels," "Jello," "Burger," "Junior Lollipops," "Mush" and "Johnny Pizza."
Those caloric nicknames must add up because there is a "Fat Dennis" and a "Baby Fat Larry." One poor guy was known as both "Lumpy" and "Fatty."
Most of us who have had nicknames as kids or teenagers lose them in adulthood. But these nicknames seem to stick forever. "Baby Shanks" is Luigi Manocchio. He's 83. Jacob Guzik has been dead for over half a century, but he'll always be "Greasy Thumb."

WHY LIGHT PARKS
There are some arguments against certain measures to light parks. it’s been noted that only lighting pathways could also be dangerous and act as the way for criminals to trace the routes of pedestrians. Poorly designed park lighting might also increase certain forms of vandalism like graffiti.
However, it may also be argued that well-designed park lighting is much superior to poor park lighting and no park lighting in the slightest degree. There are many theories on why strategic park lighting is both a good crime deterrent and an excellent community-building tool.
For one, evenly spaced, bright lighting in parks allows daytime activities to increase into the evening hours, like sports, walking, and cookouts. More people in an exceedingly public space engaging in recreational activities deters crime by increasing the perception of safety
Lighting up a park properly at night. It creates a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
If a park is Lighted , people will not hesitate to go for a jog. Even if it’s dark outside. Parents will play with their children on the playground and pet owners will walk their dogs on the paths.
Activities extend if there are no dark places or shadows in a park where people can hide then everyone feels safe.
if you want to safe from crimes I suggest you lights your parks

Hundreds of wildfires raging in parts of Canada’s Northwest Territories have prompted officials to issue evacuation orders and declare a state of emergency as the fires threaten the capital, Yellowknife.
The state of emergency allows more resources to help the more than 230 active coal fires burning areas across the Northwest Territories, according to Shane Thompson, Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
“We find ourselves in a situation of crisis and our government is using every tool available to help,” Thompson said in a press release.
The mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, also issued a local emergency that was followed by an evacuation order for some areas as the fires approached.
Northwest Territories officials said in a news release Wednesday that the towns of Ndilo, Deta and the Ingram Trail are under evacuation orders. Officials added that those who cannot leave those areas by land can register for evacuation flights that will start on Thursday.
“Residents living along the Ingraham Trail, in Dietta, Cam Lake, Grace Lake and the Engel Business District are currently at the highest risk and must evacuate as soon as possible. Other residents have until noon on Friday, August 18,” officials said in the news release. August 2023 for eviction.
The new evacuation orders come as evacuation orders were placed in much of the South Slieve area – including the town of High River – over the weekend. Town officials said in a Facebook post that roads from High River to the Alberta border and west to Yellowknife were also closed.
The situation has changed quickly. Strong winds blew bonfires within 10 km (6 miles) of the community. The flames are expected to reach the Hay River this evening Facebook update Wednesday evening. “Crews who were in the path of the fire are withdrawing for their safety and re-locating to assist in other areas.”
An Alberta fire suppression team has been deployed to the Hay River region to help stop the fire from spreading, according to Canada’s Northwest Territories Fire Agency.
“Sprinklers and structure protection are in place and operational, and other operations will continue to operate when conditions permit,” the agency added.
Meanwhile, evacuees from the southern slavery advised at the beginning to go to a reception center in Grande Prairie, but the Northwest Territories government has since redirected them to a new center in St. Albert, Alberta.
As of Wednesday evening, a total of 236 fires were actively burning across the Northwest Territories, officials said.
Thick smoke billowing south into the US from the raging fires prompted an air quality alert from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Thursday and Friday.
“Dense ground-level smoke from wildfires in Canada’s Northwest Territories is moving south through central Canada toward Minnesota on Wednesday,” the National Weather Service warned. “A strong cold front will bring this smoke across the entire state on Thursday.”
The weather service said the smoke could reach the Minnesota-Canadian border around midnight Thursday, and would likely move over the Twin Cities around noon and southern Minnesota by 3 p.m. Thursday.
The weather service said air quality has the potential to reach the purple or very unhealthy category for several hours in eastern Minnesota.
Sensitive groups, such as people with lung or heart disease, the elderly, and children are urged to avoid prolonged or heavy exercise, and the general public is told to limit outdoor activity.
“Smoke will continue across the eastern half of the state on Friday and particulate matter levels will remain high for most of the day,” the weather service said. Winds will become southerly Friday afternoon and smoke will begin to recede from the state and dissipate. Air quality should improve below alert levels by the end of Friday.
In Canada, Minister of National Defense Bill Blair on Tuesday mobilized the Canadian Armed Forces to provide firefighting personnel, airlift resources, and logistical support to the Northwest Territories.
“We stand with the people of the Northwest Territories as they face their worst fire season ever, and I am confident that members of our military will do everything they can to help their fellow Canadians,” Blair said. statement.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was in contact with Northwest Territories Premier Caroline Cochran on Wednesday.
To the people of the Northwest Territories: We’re here for you. We have mobilized members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and we will continue to provide all necessary resources. I spoke about that with Prime Minister Caroline Cochran today – and reaffirmed our commitment to providing assistance however we can,” Trudeau said in a statement. Social media mail.

Jenny Alexander-Smythe is coming into a large inheritance from her father’s estate on her 25th birthday which is only months away. The question is will she be alive to celebrate that birthday? Someone has broken into her house searching for deeds to a mine that her father purportedly owned but of which she has no knowledge. Not longer after that a gentleman named Wing Commander James Williams seeks her out with a check for 800,000 pounds for the sale of this same mine. Coincidence?
Most of the vessels were abandoned by passengers and crew who rushed off to the diggings. Abandoned vessels were leased for $3,000 a month — more than they ever earned afloat, and they were run aground too.

Each day San Francisco built about thirty houses and got news of two murders and one fire.

Among the most influential of his protests, Gandhi held the Salt March in March of 1930 and traveled 241 miles with tens of thousands of people, to the coast of India where he made his own salt. Just two years before India would achieve Swaraj, or self-rule, Gandhi was shot in Delhi. Nearly a decade later Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. began his own movement of civil disobedience to abolish the Jim Crow laws and to bring equal treatment to the African American community. Martin Luther King believed in peaceful protests. He held boycotts, sit-ins, and even a 47-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

In the short story, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson every year on June 27th the village of 300 people gather in the town square and attend the lottery. The lottery in their town isn't like the lottery we have today because if a person gets the black spot on their paper they will get stoned to death. The purpose of the lottery is that it has been a tradition for many years and they want to keep the tradition going. First of all, in the short story the oldest man in town who is 80 years old and supports the lottery the most is Old Man Warner. He mention that, “There’s always been a lottery” (p.22, lines 262-263).

The Düsseldorf meat fair, which was held between 24 and 27 September in conjunction with InterMopro for the dairy industry, InterCool for the frozen foods industry and hogatec for those interested in technology and design, attracted around 34,000 international trade visitors and 1,500 exhibitors from different companies around the world.
Wilhelm Niedergöker, managing director of show organisers Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, said: "Now it is clear - our concept has paid off. Concurrence of InterMopro/InterCool/InterMeat with hogatec offers our customers effective synergies. In addition to the 30,000 visitors at the food fair trio around 4,000 hogatec visitors used this opportunity to gather information on the latest trends and ranges in the food industry. Those not in Düsseldorf have missed out on a major market opportunity."
René Maillard, director of the Belgian Meat Office said: "The German pork market is decisive for the business in Europe. And this makes InterMeat and absolute must."

Table_2_Bacteriophage ZCKP1: A Potential Treatment for Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated From Diabetic Foot Patients.docx
The recorded growth in infection by multidrug resistant bacteria necessitates prompt efforts toward developing alternatives to antibiotics, such as bacteriophage therapy. Immuno-compromised patients with diabetes mellitus are particularly prone to foot infections by multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, which may be compounded by chronic osteomyelitis. Bacteriophage ZCKP1, isolated from freshwater in Giza, Egypt, was tested in vitro to evaluate its lytic activity against a multidrug resistant K. pneumoniae KP/01, isolated from foot wound of a diabetic patient in Egypt. Characterization of ZCKP1 phage indicated that it belonged to the Myoviridae family of bacteriophages with a ds-DNA genome size of 150.9 kb. Bacteriophage ZCKP1 lysed a range of osteomyelitis pathogenic agents including Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp. and E. coli isolates. The bacteriophage reduced the bacterial counts of host bacteria by ≥2 log10 CFU/ml at 25°C, and demonstrated the ability to reduce bacterial counts and biofilm biomass (>50%) when applied at high multiplicity of infection (50 PFU/CFU). These characteristics make ZCKP1 phage of potential therapeutic value to treat K. pneumoniae and associated bacteria present in diabetic foot patients.

Allen West Blames Football Injuries On Church-State Separation
In a speech to a Gladewater, Texas, conservative group last week, former Rep. Allen West blamed high school football injuries on the end of state-sponsored prayer in schools, saying that when he was in high school, “I don’t remember anyone getting carted off that field paralyzed.”
Discussing a conflict between the Freedom from Religion Foundation and the University of Tennessee about sectarian prayers before football games, West said that in the days of state-sponsored school prayer, there was no problem with football injuries.
“Now see, I remember growing up in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia,” he said. “I went to Grady High School and I played football and we didn’t have all this high-speed gear and everything like that, there was no such thing about ‘targeting.’ I mean, you were not a tough football player unless you did try to hit someone head-on. And even in high school, before every game at Grady Stadium, the pastor would come down and pray before every football game. I don’t remember catastrophic injuries. I don’t remember anyone getting carted off that field paralyzed.”
Needless to say, West’s selective view of the history of football injuries is not exactly accurate.

The Anxiety Paradox
The more we try to avoid our fears, the stronger they become.
Posted May 23, 2022 | Reviewed by Devon Frye
- Pathological anxiety is defined by its intensity, disproportionality, and functional impact.
- When it comes to anxiety, doing what feels most self-protective often just reinforces our fears.
- Exposing ourselves to our fears and learning how to tolerate anxiety is the key to its extinction.
If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
—Obi-Wan Kenobi, "Star Wars"
Like many psychiatric symptoms, anxiety can be conceptualized along a spectrum that ranges from the normal to the pathological. At the normal end, anxiety represents an adaptive human response that's part of the body's warning system that alerts us to dangers. It often manifests as transient fear, causing us to step back from threats—like snakes and heights—that could cause us serious harm or death. And it can also take the form of more persistent worry about potential or ongoing threats, ideally providing the kind of motivation we need to take action to safeguard ourselves against the real possibility of danger—like when we purchase insurance or install smoke alarms in our homes.
When anxiety becomes pathological, it's often because of its intensity, disproportionality, and functional impact. For example, when anxiety and fear intensify to panic and when worries blossom into disproportional mental ruminations about imagined rather than actual threats, the result is that we often freeze up or get stuck in our heads to the point of immobility. And since normal anxiety is a necessity for survival, not having any anxiety would also put us in harm's way. So, whether it's too much or too little, the outcome is much the same—pathological anxiety prevents us from taking the necessary action to figure out how to deal with the issues that lie at its root.
Wanting to Escape the Source of Our Fears
Because excessive anxiety is so visceral, including not only mental panic but physical symptoms including a "nervous stomach," chest discomfort, or trouble breathing, it's often experienced as intolerable. As a result, our natural response isn't to problem-solve, but to avoid—we tend to be more focused on "flight" than "fight" and will often try to do whatever it takes to escape the source of our fear.
Sometimes that can be helpful—if we're in danger of being bitten by a rattlesnake, then running away is a good idea. But when we're afraid of potential threats rather than actual threats—like when we face situations that trigger our trauma-based fears—running away isn't always the best option. And it isn't always possible—when the source of our fear is the worry that's in our heads more than anything else, often the only imagined escape is to turn off our minds by doing something like drinking alcohol or using other drugs. While the term "self-medication" is sometimes invoked in this context, the reality is that such attempts at pharmacologic avoidance are usually more counterproductive than therapeutic.
The paradox of anxiety is that what feels most instinctual and self-protective—escaping from the source of our fears or trying to ablate intolerable anxiety with a drink or a pill—often just reinforces it by teaching us that our fears are too powerful to face. It also primes us to monitor for its return when we are able to find temporary relief, but if we're constantly scanning the environment for threats or our bodies for evidence of fear, we're certain to find it.
Evidence-based interventions to treat pathological anxiety typically involve the opposite of avoidance. Medications like selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) don't dampen anxiety in the moment the way that something like alcohol or a benzodiazepine like lorazepam (Ativan) or alprazolam (Xanax) can; they more optimally diminish ruminative thinking and cut pathological anxiety off at its source.
Psychotherapies like acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) encourage us to sit with our anxiety, compassionately acknowledging its presence, and letting it go in the moment through mindfulness meditation. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) involves challenging the cognitive distortions that might be causing undue anxiety along with a component of gradual or graded exposure to what we're afraid of. Psychodynamic therapies explore the conscious and unconscious roots of our anxiety, getting into the weeds of our fears.
The Power of Exposure
Whatever the therapeutic intervention for anxiety, it's exposure that's most likely to lead to extinction. In other words, treating pathological anxiety often requires allowing ourselves to feel anxious. That doesn't mean "white-knuckling" it or subjecting ourselves to terror; it's more about engaging with and confronting our fears "one step at a time" in a safe and therapeutic setting with someone at your side. Through that process, we can do the work we need to do to shift from being immobilized by fear or from incessant worrying to problem-solving.
Of course, that's easier said than done, but that's the paradox of anxiety. What comes most easy for us when we're anxious is often the last thing that we need.

Detection and profiling of circular RNAs in uninfected and maize Iranian mosaic virus-infected maize

- Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed non-coding RNAs that are usually derived from exonic regions of genes, but can also arise from intronic and intergenic regions. Studies of circRNAs in humans, animals and several plant species have shown an altered population of circRNAs in response to abiotic and biotic stress. Recently it was shown that circRNAs also occur in maize, but it is unknown if maize circRNAs are responsive to stress. Maize Iranian mosaic virus (MIMV, genus Nucleorhabdovirus, family Rhabdoviridae) causes an economically important disease in maize and other gramineous crops in Iran. In this study, we used data from RNA-Seq of MIMV-infected maize and uninfected controls to identify differentially expressed circRNAs. Such circRNAs were confirmed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, northern blot, RT-qPCR and sequencing. A total of 1443 circRNAs were identified in MIMV-infected maize and 1165 circRNAs in uninfected maize. Two hundred and one circRNAs were in common between MIMV-infected and uninfected samples. Of these, 155 circRNAs were up-regulated and 5 down-regulated in MIMV infected plants, compared to the uninfected control. This study for the first time identified and profiled circRNA expression in maize in response to virus infection. Moreover, we predict that 33 circRNAs may bind 23 maize miRNAs, possibly affecting plant metabolism and development. Our data suggest a role for circRNAs in plant cell regulation and response to biotic stress such as virus infection, and give new insights into the complexity of plant-microbe interactions.

Rafael Nadal explains US Open decision, admitting: ‘Going from hardcourt to clay would be dangerous for me’
Rafael Nadal has admitted that the challenges of moving immediately from hardcourt tennis to clay was a huge factor in his decision to skip the US Open.
Nadal is the reigning champion at Flushing Meadows but has decided against defending that title.
The ongoing challenges and concerns over the coronavirus have naturally been a big part of his thinking, but Nadal has now all but confirmed the root of the decision is prioritising the French Open instead.
“The health situation is the first basic inconvenience when making my decision,” Rafael Nadal admitted in a Q&A.
“The situation seems not in full control, so in this case, after consulting with my team, we decided to skip the US Open.
“Second, the schedule is challenging after many months without competing.
“Going from hardcourt to clay, with hardly any time for preparation, is dangerous for my body and my future.
“Then, it is a matter of a personal spirit. The situation is as it is, and my spirit was not high enough to travel to New York and compete.
“If I am going to compete, all my senses have to be focused on competition to perform at my best, and it would have been difficult to achieve that.”

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Joe Reitz said the team is tired of hitting each other and is ready to hit someone else.
The Colts will get that opportunity tonight at 8 p.m. EST when they face the St. Louis Rams in a preseason game at the Edward Jones Dome.
And, according to Stampede Blue’s updates on the matter, Indy might be on the verge of signing former Pro Bowl wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
What should one be looking for in tonight’s game, and what would the Housh addition mean?
While the Colts will open (and perhaps close) their preseason schedule without quarterback Peyton Manning, who continues to refrain from activity while recovering from his May neck surgery, there are several reasons for the team’s fans to tune in. Let’s examine a few:
- Offensive line. I’m sure most will be looking to see how the Colts’ front five function tonight or simply who will be playing where. While 2011 first-round draft choice Anthony Castonzo has been getting plenty of work at left tackle — he’s been baptized by fire in attempting to block defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis — it’s possible he won’t start at the position and will instead give way to Jeff Linkenbach. The buzz is that Reitz might see plenty of snaps at left guard while Mike Pollak, Kyle DeVan, Jamey Richard, et. al will fight for time at the right guard spot. Mainstays Jeff Saturday and Ryan Diem will man their longtime positions of center and right tackle, respectively, while second-rounder Ben Ijalana figures to be slotted behind Diem. Can the unit consistently create holes for running backs and protect whoever lines up behind center? These guys probably hope so…
- Backup quarterback play. Four quarterbacks have been actively involved in Colts training camp in Anderson, Ind, in place of Manning. Curtis Painter, Manning’s primary backup in 2010 figures to get the starter’s reps tonight while Dan Orlovsky, Nate Davis and undrafted rookie Mike Hartline could all see action afterward. The preseason — quite possibly his only opportunity for extensive playing time in 2011 — could serve as a confidence booster for Painter. The former Purdue quarterback has drawn criticism from the Colts’ fan base since stepping in during the late stages of the team’s flirtation with an undefeated season in December 2009. While he didn’t play particularly well in the 2010 preseason, one could argue Painter’s late-2009 struggles occurred in a highly unfavorable situation (fans wanting perfect season, New York Jets’ No. 1-ranked defense, blizzard at Buffalo). People made all the same criticisms about Matt Cassel in New England before he managed an 11-5 record in relief of an injured Tom Brady, and Painter’s arm is much stronger than Cassel’s is. If Painter’s struggles continue, though, it will be interesting to see if veteran Orlovsky (perhaps infamous for running out of his own end zone for a safety with the Detroit Lions in 2008), Ball State product Davis or Kentucky standout Hartline might be able to put the incumbent backup’s job in jeopardy.
- Health in the receiving corps. The Colts are surely relieved to have back their down-the-middle threats in tight end Dallas Clark, receiver Austin Collie and, perhaps to a lesser extent, receiver Anthony Gonzalez. Clark (wrist) and Collie (concussions) both wound up on injured reserve, missing a combined 17 games. Gonzalez, Indy’s first-round draft choice in 2007, has played in three games since the start of the 2009 season. While Gonzalez’s absence hasn’t really hindered the productivity of the Colts’ passing game, the losses of Clark and Collie certainly last year certainly did. Without their two lethal slot options, the team’s offense declined in productivity, as was evidenced no more clearly than in last December’s meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Indianapolis. Collie amassed 87 receiving yards and scored two touchdowns in that game before sustaining a concussion that would end his season, and the Colts did little through the air the rest of the game without a reliable target in the middle of the field. Tonight’s action could give fans a clearer view of whether these guys will be good to go. Clark is a much surer thing; Collie can ill afford too many more shots to the head.
- First look at rookies, free-agent acquisitions. In addition to the aforementioned Castonzo and Ijalana, defensive tackle Drake Nevis, running back Delone Carter and defensive back Chris Rucker will take the field in NFL competition for the first time. Carter could be an interesting watch, especially when comparing him to Donald Brown, who has struggled with inconsistency since being drafted in the first round in 2009. Nevis has turned heads in camp — observers have said he has a burst off the line of scrimmage — and a promising defensive tackle is always a sight for sore fans’ eyes in Indy. Speaking of which, new acquisition Tommie Harris has gotten generally positive reviews in his first training camp with the Colts, and it will be neat to see how much and how effectively he plays in a game setting. Ernie Sims and Jamaal Anderson both could miss the game; Sims definitely will be out while recovering from an appendectomy, and Anderson has been dealing with a groin injury.
Developing in the midst of preparations for the Colts’ preseason opener is speculation that the team might sign veteran wideout T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who is coming off a 2010 campaign of 30 receptions for 398 yards and three touchdowns with the Baltimore Ravens, to a one-year deal. It was quite the decline in productivity for Houshmandzadeh, who enjoyed six straight seasons of racking up 900-plus receiving yards as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals (he formed a dynamic receiving tandem with who was then named Chad Johnson). If the development is true and Housh joins the Colts, he could be a nice and possibly dangerous weapon for Manning. It would amount to another low-risk, high-reward free-agent signing the Colts have already done with Harris, Sims and Anderson. The possibility does bode the question about the health concerns of Collie, Gonzalez and even Blair White, who has spent training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list with a sore back.
I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

I call this lasagna despite the fact that I didn't use lasagna noodles... I used ingredients that I've always used in my lasagna, only I made them a little healthier. So, despite the noodle change, it still tastes like lasagna to me!
8 servings/7 points
2 1/2 c. whole wheat penne pasta (I use Healthy Harvest)
2 c. 2% italian blend cheese (I use Kraft)
1 container (24 oz) FF cottage cheese
1 jar 3-cheese tomato sauce (Prego)
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tbsp grated parmesan
1. I put my water for the pasta on to boil while I brown my ground beef. When the water boils, I cook the penne according to package directions. When ground beef is browned all the way, I add the pasta sauce to the skillet. I like to add about 1/4 c. water to the almost empty jar to get all the sauce out.
2. In a medium bowl, I mix the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and oregano (I just eyeball the oregano... you could use parsley or some other spice if you wanted).
3. Once everything is combined/cooked, I begin the layering process! I start by using cooking spray on a glass baking dish. Then I start by putting 1/3 of my pasta sauce mixture on the bottom of the pan, spread out.
4. Next, put half of your pasta over the sauce layer. Follow with half of the cheese mixture, then half of the remaining sauce mixture. Repeat this process one time with the rest of your ingredients, ending with pasta sauce.
5. I like to top the sauce with a couple tbsp of parmesan, then cover with tin foil and cook in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Then take the foil off & cook for 10 more minutes. I like to let it set up for about 5-10 minutes, makes it easier to serve.
You get a really large serving for 7 points, and it's oh-so-tasty!

Madeline Island, the Place of Provision
May 30, 2016
Our recent trip to Madeline Island not only speaks of the “Effective Apostleship” that was promised in 2001, but also implies the provision necessary to be sent out as apostles. The island’s connection to provision is part of the island’s history.
When the Apostle Islands were set up as a national park in 1970, the government did not have the money to buy Madeline Island from the property owners already living there, so they excluded it from the park. The government set up 20 islands at first, with another added in 1986. Hence, there are 21 Apostle Islands in the park itself, but with Madeline Island there are actually 22 Apostle Islands geographically speaking.
The history of the Ojibwa in this area has its tragedies, as with so many of the tribes. One of the most notable chiefs was known as Great Buffalo (“Kechewaishke”). He was born about 1759 and died in 1855. He signed a number of treaties with the US government, in which the Ojibwa were promised annual provisions for certain land concessions.
When President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830, resulting in the “Trail of Tears,” it affected mostly those from the southeast. However, when Wisconsin became a state in 1848, the Ojibwe began to come under pressure. President Zachary Taylor signed a Removal act on February 6, 1850 under corrupt circumstances, breaking multiple past treaties. This was later rescinded by President Fillmore in 1852, but meanwhile much damage had been done.
At this time, Alexander Ramsey was the Territorial Governor of Minnesota. (Minnesota did not become a state until 1858.) He and an Indian sub-agent, John Waltrous, conspired to force the Ojibwa into Minnesota, as the two stood to profit from this arrangement personally. Ramsey is still honored today, because the county where the capital of Minnesota (St. Paul) is located is known as Ramsey County.
By treaty, provisions for the Ojibwa were to be brought each year to La Pointe on Madeline Island, their main home and trade center. But Waltrous announced that he would give the annual provisions only at Sandy Lake, Minnesota, forcing the Ojibwa to travel a long distance to obtain what had been promised to them. These annuities were given in late October of 1850, so the plan was to force the Ojibwa to remain in Sandy Lake over the winter. By doing this, the Bureau of Indian Affairs hoped to lessen resistance to being moved permanently.
About 3,000 Ojibwa made the long trek to Sandy Lake. In early December the first (small) portion of provisions arrived, and much of the food was spoiled. Already, 150 had died while waiting for the provisions, but when the spoiled food arrived, many more died of food poisoning. They finally realized that if they were to survive at all, they had to return to Madeline Island. So they made the long journey home in January of 1851, and over 200 more died along the way. The result was that over 400 Ojibwe men died, some by exposure, and others from the rancid food “provisions” that were given to them.
In the Spring of 1852 Chief Buffalo, now in his 90’s, made a long trip to Washington to appeal to President Fillmore. He was hindered and opposed along the way by various Indian Affairs bureaucrats, and when he arrived in Washington, Indian Affairs turned him away, telling him that he should never have made the trip.
However, he was fortunate to gain the attention of Congressman Briggs of New York, of the Whig Party, who scheduled an appointment with the president the next day. Fillmore agreed that the provisions should be given at La Pointe, and in 1854 the final Treaty of La Pointe, granting the Ojibwa lands in Northern Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and Northern Minnesota was signed. Chief Buffalo died on September 7, 1855 at the age of 96 and is buried at the La Pointe Indian Cemetery, not far from where we stayed last week end in La Pointe.
This entire drama centered around the issue of where the provisions should be delivered to the Ojibwa. We stayed at La Pointe on Madeline Island for two nights before taking the cruise around the other islands on May 23. The issue of provision is inherent in the ninth sign of Elisha, which we have been looking for since July 2010.
It is about provisions that are necessary to begin the last half of the Elisha signs, and the next sign is about the healing of Naaman the Syrian. In other words, it is about the two doves needed to heal lepers that are described in the law of leprosy in Leviticus 14. Since Naaman was from outside the country, this sign is really about the gospel of the Kingdom going outside borders. The two doves have been part of our ministry’s logo since 1999. So we have every reason to believe that we are part of this move of God.
The Story in Pictures
On Friday, May 20, 2016 we drove from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Bayfield, Wisconsin, which is on the southern coast of Lake Superior. This is Bayfield.
From Bayfield, we took the 15-minute ferry ride to La Pointe, which is on Madeline Island across from the mainland.
Once we drove off the dock at La Pointe, we come to the main crossroad.
We turned right and drove about three blocks to the lodge where we were to stay for the next two days.
The next morning we had some fellowship at the nearby coffee shop with Ron Oja and Paul Kyle. Apparently, this was a Camp David summit meeting!
Later that afternoon we drove to the campground about 5 or 6 miles away where the actual meeting took place.
Kevin Kot, who organized this ceremony, then related the history of the Ojibwa and how they arrived at Madeline Island centuries ago. There were at one time about 20,000 people living on the island.
I had a chance to talk with Warren, whom I had met on a previous occasion last year. He was an interesting elder. He told me how he had died three times, and Jesus had sent him back because he still had work to do.
The first part of the ceremony was the smudging, which is a symbolic act using (organic) Sage to cleanse the mind and heart. It's a simple act of waving some of the smoke (incense) toward you while in an attitude of prayer to give it purpose.
After this came the actual drumming ceremony, which included the singing of Ojibwa hymns that were sung, while the women danced around the drummers. This was a very powerful time of fellowship and communion as the beating of the drum is intended to represent the heartbeat of God and as we join in with one another in both the beating and the hearing of the drum we are symbolically and actually brought into oneness and communion one with another and with our Father.
(We have video of this powerful event but out of respect we will need to secure permission from all those that may show up in the video before we could post it.)
While this was happening, an eagle flew directly overhead. This was a significant sign, not only for Indian culture but also for the rest of us who are tuned toward God’s voice speaking through signs.
Later, Paul and Hillary Kyle led us in worship around the camp fire.
The next day (Sunday) we took the ferry back to the mainland at Bayfield, where we had booked the cruise to take the tour of the Apostle Islands themselves.
This is the ferry itself.
There were too many islands to show here, but here are a few.
The sheer size of the lake is amazing. One can travel for three days and never sight land. At its deepest point it is 1335 feet deep, which I thought was an interesting number from Daniel 12:12.
This is Dave and Sherry, who came with us to bear witness to the launching of the apostolic ministry and also to help with the videos and pictures. Dave is the creator of my web site and works with me full time.
The cruise took 3 ¼ hours. When we returned to Bayfield, we disembarked, had a late lunch, and then drove back to Minneapolis.

This summer, visit Longwood Garden’s Nightscape in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It is held Wednesday through Saturday night, and it sure to please all of your senses. The gardens provide a pleasant olfactory experience daily, but at night, psychedelic lights and soothing music make for the perfect date night.
Joe and I went this week, and we enjoyed every minute of our date night. The beer garden featured delicious Victory Ale and my type of hipster food (hibiscus blackberry baked ice cream and a black bean quinoa burger. ‘nough said).
Inside the cafe, there was the cafeteria I wish I had in high school and college. We shared a lunch tray and bought red bliss potatoes, orrechiette pasta with artichokes in a bechamel sauce, vegetarian chili, and quinoa with mangos, peppers, and onions. For dessert, we shared apple crisp with salted caramel ice cream. I know, I know, sounds like a lot, but everything looked so tasty.
We had such a good time in the beer garden, we almost forgot it was not the main attraction. We grabbed a beer for the road and headed down the stairs to the waiting attractions. We strolled through an indoor observatory. This is how I imagine Oprah’s greenhouses to look-nothing short of elegant and extravagant.
Surrounding the Nightscape attractions indoors were some of the gardens that give Longwood its great reputation. If I were to try to recreate Eden in my backyard, it would probably look like this place. Trickling fountains and chirping crickets gave the gardens a paradise feel.
Back outside, we followed the music to trails with dancing lights that coaxed us down the pathways to awaiting attractions. They included the tree house of my dreams.
A Longwood Gardens date may not seem like the ideal time for some guys, but Joe genuinely enjoyed himself, as well as the many beautiful couples we spoke to along the way. The beer helped, but the lights and sounds make for a mesmerizing experience that can easily stand out on its own. Nightscape runs through Halloween. For more information and to purchase tickets visit Longwood Garden’s website.

Songs We Like to Sing
Englis version by Geroge LinleyOld Welsh Song
Swift as the eagle in his flight!
Let not the sunlight o'er our pathway close,
Till we o'er throw our Saxon foes.
Strong as yonder foaming tide
Rushing down the mountain side,
Be ye ready, sword and spear.
Pour upn the spoiler near!
Winds that float o'er us, bid the tyrant quail,
Ne'er shall his ruffian bands prevail!
Morning shall view us fetterless and free;
Slaves ne'er shall Cymry's children be!
Heav'n our arms with conquest bless,
All our bitter wrongs redress!
Strike the harp! awake the cry!
Valor's sons fear not to die!
© 1999, Lynn Waterman

Researching the Company
When it comes to choosing a reliable gearbox repair company, thorough research is key. Start by gathering information about different companies in your area that specialize in gearbox repair. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients to get an idea of their reputation and the quality of their work. It’s also a good idea to check if they have any certifications or affiliations with industry organizations, as this can be an indication of their expertise and professionalism.
Additionally, take the time to visit their website and gather more information about their services, experience, and the types of gearboxes they work on. Look for any guarantees or warranties they offer, as this can give you peace of mind knowing that they stand behind their work.
Assessing Experience and Expertise
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a gearbox repair company is their experience and expertise in the field. Gearbox repairs require specialized knowledge and skills, so it’s essential to choose a company that has a proven track record of successfully repairing gearboxes.
Consider how long the company has been in business and if they have a team of experienced technicians who are knowledgeable about different types of gearboxes. It’s also worth asking if they have experience working with the specific type of gearbox that needs to be repaired, as this can give you confidence in their ability to handle the job.
Obtaining and Comparing Quotes
Once you have narrowed down your list of potential gearbox repair companies, it’s time to reach out to them and obtain quotes for the repair job. Ensure that you provide detailed information about the issues you are experiencing with your gearbox to receive an accurate quote.
When comparing quotes, don’t automatically choose the company with the lowest price. Consider the quality of their work, their reputation, and the services they offer as well. It’s important to find a balance between affordability and quality to ensure you get the best value for your money.
Before making a final decision, it’s a good idea to request references from the gearbox repair companies you are considering. Contact these references and ask about their experience working with the company. Were they satisfied with the repairs? Did they experience any issues after the repair job was completed?
Speaking directly to previous clients can provide valuable insights into the company’s reliability and the overall quality of their work. If a company is hesitant to provide references or if the references have negative feedback, it may be a red flag that they are not the most reliable choice for gearbox repairs.
Checking for Insurance and Warranties
Before entrusting your gearbox to a repair company, make sure they have proper insurance coverage. Accidents can happen, and it’s important to ensure that you won’t be held liable for any damages that may occur during the repair process.
In addition, check if the company offers any warranties on their repair work. A reliable company will stand behind their work and offer a guarantee that they will fix any issues that may arise after the repair is completed.

The four way race for the €35,000-a-year position of Dáil vice chairman ended in a stalemate yesterday despite two hours of voting in the Dáil.
Party whips now expect that there will be another vote for Leas Ceann Comhairle next week, in which Fianna Fáil’s Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher and Fine Gael’s Bernard Durkan are now seen as the main contenders.
Several TDs abstained yesterday during the votes, including TDs with AAA-PBP and the Social Democrats, and their vote could be crucial for a candidate to win.
The victor must secure at least half the votes of those present in the house who vote and not half the actual numbers in the Dáil. There are no transfers for the vote for Leas Ceann Comhairle.
Mr Gallagher secured 52 votes and 83 votes against him but was the only candidate to secure cross-part support, while Mr Durkan won 49 votes and also saw 83 TDs vote against him.
Mr Gallagher received support from six of the seven Labour TDs. Labour is also trying to secure the support of Fianna Fáil in the Seanad to get senator Denis Landy elected as leas-chathaoirleach there.
Sinn Féin’s Sean Crowe was third in the Dáil vote, receiving 33 votes but 106 TDs opposed his nomination. Lastly, Independent TD Mattie McGrath scored 20 votes with 117 voting against him.
Party leaders are expected to press for another vote next week, but it remains unclear if some candidates will withdraw and, furthermore, whether the nomination process can reopen. Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl said yesterday the matter would now be referred to the political party whips.

Fascinating dynamic in tonight’s Game 3 of the NLCS: Two teams who wouldn’t mind a scrap, but also wary of suspensions. It’s hard to imagine a full-on brawl, but there are plenty of simmering undercurrents with the likes of Nyjer Morgan, Chris Carpenter, Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa involved.
Speaking of Carpenter: The more you think about his Game 5 performance in Philadelphia in the Division Series, the more remarkable it becomes. It stands as a singular, glowing gem in the pitch-count era and a throwback to times when pitchers weren’t satisfied with a few good innings – it was nine or bust.
Put it this way: We haven’t seen anything like it in 20 years. And if you want to include the added element of a hostile setting, you have to go back to 1962, at Candlestick Park, in the Giants-Yankees series. That’s the last time somebody (Ralph Terry) pitched a 1-0 shutout in a winner-take-all game on the road.
Here’s the history of complete-game shutouts in winner-take-all postseason games:
Game 7, World Series
Babe Adams, 1909 Pirates vs. Detroit, 8-0 score, on the road
Stan Coveleski, 1920 Indians vs. Brooklyn, 3-0, at home
Dizzy Dean, 1934 Cardinals vs. Detroit, 11-0, road
Johnny Podres, 1955 Dodgers vs. Yankees, 2-0, road
Johnny Kucks, 1956 Yankees vs. Dodgers, 9-0, road
Lew Burdette, 1957 Braves vs. Yankees, 5-0, road
Ralph Terry, 1962 Yankees vs. Giants, 1-0, road
Sandy Koufax, 1965 Dodgers vs. Twins, 2-0, road
Bret Saberhagen, 1985 Royals vs. Cardinals, 11-0, home
Jack Morris, 1991 Twins vs. Atlanta, 1-0 (10 innings), home.
Game 5, Original-Format Playoffs
Catfish Hunter, 1973 A’s vs. Baltimore, 3-0, home
Game 7, LCS
Danny Cox, 1987 Cardinals vs. Giants, 6-0, home
Orel Hershiser, 1988 Dodgers vs. Mets, 6-0, home
John Smoltz, 1991 Braves vs. Pirates, 4-0, road
That’s a long time between performances of Carpenter’s caliber. So thanks to him, and to La Russa’s common sense. If a guy’s going strong, showing no signs of weakness, let him stay in the damn game! Paranoia be gone.
