CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
When the University of Colorado Boulder's annual Conference on World Affairs— featuring 200 panel discussions, performances and plenaries—returns to campus for the 67th time April 6-10, you won't need to be in Boulder to enjoy it.
In just one hour, school kids, teachers and any code-curious member of the public with an Internet connection can now create their own 3-D video game using a tutorial built by a team at the University of Colorado Boulder in preparation for the global "Hour of Code" event happening the second week of December.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, mission to Mars will carry just over 1,100 haiku, along with thousands of names, on its journey to the red planet. The haiku were part of a contest, sponsored by the University of Colorado Boulder, asking the public to submit haiku poetry relating to NASA's upcoming MAVEN mission to Mars.
The 50th annual meeting of the international Animal Behavior Society to be held at the University of Colorado Boulder July 28-Aug. 2 will feature several public events, including lectures, scientific demonstrations and a film festival.
The public lectures, to be held at the Glenn Miller Ballroom in the University Memorial Center, are part of the Applied Animal Behavior Public Day on Sunday, July 28, titled "Creating Quality Lives for Dogs and Cats Through the Science of Animal Behavior."
After 20 years as dean of the University of Colorado Boulder College of Music, Daniel P. Sher will step away from the post in June — but he isn't going quietly.
First, student musicians at the college will dedicate their performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver on May 1 to the outgoing dean.
High school senior Marlene Talamantes clearly has a way with words. She spent a day at the University of Colorado Law School and spoke her way right into a trip to Washington, D.C., and a tour of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Before the competition, Talamantes was not sure she would go to college. Now she sees college as a definite part of her future and plans to pursue a career in teaching or law.
Colorado business leaders' attitudes remained almost unchanged going into the fourth quarter, according to the most recent quarterly Leeds Business Confidence Index, or LBCI, released today by the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
The LBCI's reading remained positive, above the critical mark of 50, but fell from 53.6 in the third quarter to 51.6 in the fourth. A reading greater than 50 indicates positive expectations, while one lower than 50 indicates negative expectations.
More than 100 students, faculty and professional engineers from a seven-state region are expected to gather in Boulder Oct. 5-7 to learn about sustainable engineering practices that can benefit the developing world.
The University of Colorado Boulder will host the 2012 Mountain Region Conference for Engineers Without Borders-USA, a nonprofit organization founded by CU engineering Professor Bernard Amadei 10 years ago after he was asked to engineer a water pump for a village in Belize.
More than 75 students and dozens of alumni of the University of Colorado Law School will teach a lesson on the Fourth Amendment in more than 100 high school classrooms throughout Colorado the week of Sept. 17- 21 in recognition of Constitution Day.
Constitution Day is a national event that annually commemorates the Sept. 17, 1787, signing of the United States Constitution.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?

Obama's Lie
Barack Obama is given to the long view, which comes in handy for a man at his particular nadir in this particular moment. More than the vexing and inexplicably botched launch of the Affordable Care Act, the president has been undone by ten words uttered enough times so as to feel exponential: If you like your health plan, you can keep it. This is the first time that reasonable people have caught the president telling an explicitly incontestable untruth, however small a percentage of insurance policies it may actually apply to, and therefore our wince-threshold with Obama is distinctly lower than with those who so often have said so many preposterous things about him for the past five years that long ago we exhausted winces in favor of twitches and spasms, until our outrage finally became catatonic. Accusations ever louder and ever growing of "socialist" and "Kenyan" have become background noise. The liar who lies once and badly—assuming the worst, which is that he knew better—commands our attention.
Obama's winter of discontent coincides with real winter, as well as the worst poll numbers of his presidency, a weary if not dispirited interview on the cable-news channel most identified with him, and an appearance in Africa on behalf of Nelson Mandela that was exemplary in every way except for how it conveyed his otherness to those disposed to perceiving him as Other. Winter and its surrounding holidays are made for long views during which the president might take stock, ruminating on the most significant evidence of his deteriorating position, which is polls that show him losing the confidence of the young, who can be at once fitfully forgiving and rabidly less so. In his interview he wasn't asked directly about The Lie; he may soon wish that he was, so that he can address it before its impact settles in further. But the answering will be delicate whenever he gets to it—an explanation not an excuse that, as surgically as rhetoric allows, dissects the thought process behind aggressive prevarication. The president's hope may be that people will forget, and on some conscious level they might. On another level they never will; the lie will always be a bug in the machinery of our bargain with him, and so needs to be fixed if it can. After that, with three years of his presidency left, he needs to start laying claim to the moral unquantifiables of our politics, to become tribune for even lost causes such as the most lost of all: the disintegration of what not so long ago still hoped to be an egalitarian republic into a craven and bitter oligarchy.
Nonetheless some remain a long way from giving up on Barack Obama. This includes even those who have found his management skills wanting, who have been baffled by his inability to communicate on the small things as well as he does on the big, who are disconcerted by his drone policy and disappointed by his failure to nationalize the banks on his first day in office and dismayed by his presidency's worst and most dishonest moment—botched websites notwithstanding—which was his signing of the baldly unconstitutional National Defense Authorization Act. But as the mainstream media seizes the opportunity to legitimize itself by proving it can be as tough on Obama as the rightstream media, and as the left masturbates the erogenous zone of dissatisfaction it has felt that the president really isn't the radical his enemies claim he is, it's also true that a man is measured in no small part by his enemies. Obama has the worst enemies anyone can have, and they're enemies who have drawn a line in the sand on him from the beginning, hating him for all the reasons that others have been for him. In short, whatever his failings, the president has been made the embodiment of things bigger and better than him, and his political survival is tantamount to the survival of those things. It would be good to remember this, since the long view is not just for presidents but those who choose them.

When he said it in 2008, it was an aspiration - it wasn't a lie.
When he said it in 2009, it was (possibly) still an aspiration, since the real rules hadn't been written yet.
When he said it in 2010, and 2011, and 2012, it was a lie. His administration had developed estimates that most Americans in the individual market wouldn't be able to keep their policies. His administration wrote the rule on grandfathering as narrowly as possible in order to force as many people as possible into the exchanges.
I find it incredible that Mr. Obama wasn't aware of this situation. If he generally was unaware that his most knowledgeable advisers had determined his statement wasn't true, and that his trusted subordinates had worked hard to ensure it would be as far from true as possible, this reflects very badly on his ability to run the White House: he doesn't let the truth get to him, and he doesn't get his subordinates to follow his instruction. But, even if you think that he was honestly unaware that most people affected by Obamacare couldn't keep the policies they wanted, it was still a lie to confidently and authoritatively assert something that he knew would be important to his viewers without bothering to find out if it was true.
His statement would be no more honest than it would be for me to say "I have won tonight's Powerball jackpot, and I will give you $10 million if you support me" when I haven't actually checked the Powerball numbers, and I'm not even sure I bought a ticket.

While those of us on the left do not approve of everything the President is done, he was and is a far better choice than the alternatives. For those on the right, their distorted worldview and made up history will always paint the President as the most evil man to ever be President the rest of us know better.

I have met Obama's enemies, but I'm not one of them. I was two years behind him at Harvard Law School, donated money to his primary campaign, and get his daily emails. But I'm more than disappointed in him--I'm baffled.
I had five children and ten years work experience when I went off to law school, and I kept telling my bright young classmates that they really didn't know what they were talking about. Phrases like "That's not how it works" kept rolling off my tongue, which didn't make much of a difference in class. But now that Barack and I are both twenty years further downstream, the kinds of things I used to say to my progressive friends keep coming back to haunt me.
I'm writing this comment because I'm half dead from trying to install Moodle on my website today. It's open source code, and I'm digging through 12,000 files to find out why it crashes on launch. Unlike my President, I do write code--and unlike my President, I know that a dead website means I get NO MONEY. Doesn't matter how many hits I have on the front end... I need PayPal to ring the bell at the back end or I don't get paid.
So what am I (and well-meaning Americans like myself) supposed to make of all this? Still not sure. This article hasn't helped AT ALL. Telling me that Obama has enemies doesn't help a single person who is now uninsured.
Fri, 2013-12-13 15:54
After the successful bin Laden attack were told that Obama painstakingly checked every detail of the plan and even added an additional helicopter. Seems that is the last act that Obama paid any attention to. He knew nothing about Benghazi, the IRS, etal, and especially Obamacare. Monroe was on top of the Monroe Doctrine, General Marshall checkout out Marshall Plan, even Ferris had the details on his Ferris Wheel. But Obama wasn't informed about his Obamacare. Uh, sure.
Fri, 2013-12-13 16:01
What garbage. As a conservative, I don't hate Obama. I find him unbelievably incompetent until I remember he has no business background and no history of professional accomplishment other than being a politician for a relatively brief period before convincing the majority of those who voted he should be the President. Viewed in that light, his inability to accomplish anything of note is not surprising at all. That people still think he can is what amazes me the most.
Fri, 2013-12-13 16:05
Sycophants continue to regurgitate the line: "you may be paying more but you will get a beter policy." But Obama's repeated statements in 2008 were that we would all SAVE $2500 on our premiums. And that doesn't include the issue of the skyrocketing deductibles.
The ACA is hardly going to be universal coverage. There will probably be a net loss of insureds after January 1.

How about the lies that the ANTI Obamacare people have been telling, and CONTINUE to tell when they have been debunked? There are no "death panels" in the ACA; the REAL death panels are in the private insurance companies (who will, unfortunately, still have SOME power to deny coverage, but not nearly as much as they have had). There is no government "interference" in your health care, only a change in how you pay for it, IF your existing coverage goes away. This is not "socialism" like Medicare or Tricare or the VA or the active duty military doctors (like MASH); it is regulation to help pay for a private product. The insurer gives some of its ABSOLUTE control as far as not writing ANY policy, even if no other insurer will do so either, to protect a human being, and in exchange, the insured gives up his or her ABSOLUTE choice to buy only what he or she thinks his or her needs are currently, and has to buy SOME policy that is rated independently of gender and covers (almost) everything needed to maintain health and life.
Actually, a "socialist" system would be fairer to all and would be closer to real universal INSURANCE; with only ONE big risk pool covering everybody. But this is a LOT better than what we had previously, at least for those who were previously denied coverage. And those people have their LIVES at risk, not just a few dollars of a premium rate.
Ultimately a "socialist" system would solve the MALPRACTICE crisis (and I hope that Obama has someone reading this, because no one else I have read brings up this point). How?
In the first place, by making a finding of gross negligence unnecessary to get medical help that alleviates, repairs, or makes tolerable the damage (assuming it does not cause instant death, which most medical errors do not). If you suffer permanent injury because of a medical procedure, the fact that the doctor may not have been negligent or incompetent has nothing to do with the fact that you will suffer for life, or die early, without expensive and long term ADDITIONAL treatment. Currently, the ONLY way to get that treatment paid for is to TRY to prove your doctor did something WRONG, even if you know good and well that it happened despite your doctor doing everything right. And the likelihood of that happening is more of a lottery than a true proceeding of justice. And if your doctor gets off, RIGHTFULLY, you are still stuck with the bill. But doctors have to practice defensive testing and pay high insurance rates because someone who may OR MAY NOT not actually need the money gets a good attorney and an innocent doctor has to pay anyway. And doctors who get sued often because they DESERVE it stay in practice because there is no mechanism to get them out.
With a single payer system, on the other hand, that one payer sees ALL the bills and ALL the results, and can zero in on those providers who really should NOT be in practice, then go after them in court, whether the patient does or not. Meanwhile, the patient who needs more medical (or prosthetic) help gets it WITHOUT having to sue. If the patient was injured by just plain bad luck; or by an action that has been believed to be correct up until now (but will be listed as a mistake by the profession in the future); or by the doctor not knowing of a new discovery that has not become common medical knowledge yet; or by the doctor making a "once in a career" slip; or by a doctor who is always careless, drunk, or on drugs; in ALL of these cases, the patient gets the extra help. And the doctor with a bad record gets kicked out of practice (or denied future payment, and has to go into "concierge" practice, trying to get patients who have the resources to check up on WHY the doctor doesn't take insurance). And good doctors will not have to pay the higher rates and will be able to lower their rates, bringing down the total cost of health care, which should spiral down to even lower rates for the single payer insurance (paid with general tax revenue), etc.
But for now, take note that the SHORT TERM disruption to the insurance market is only the result of insurance companies who opposed the plan to start with making business decisions for political purposes, to make the plan fail. When they start to make profits from being IN the marketplace, while delivering better service for the money, that will change.

You are delusional. Obamacare has no more to do w. healthcare than rape has to w/ sex. Both are only about power. There was no need to impose the colossal burden of O'care on the country. Small reforms to our system could have been made; instead, many ins. cos. had dropped pre-existing condition before O'care. People w/o ins got free healthcare as under Hill-Burton hospitals have to provide it and med professional write of unpayable bills. Most of the uninsured are not uninsured for long, usually it's between jobs. Of course, Obamanomics has created few jobs and destroyed many more, just as O'care has cancelled millions more ins. coverage that it has created. W/ all the money wasted on O'care, fed & state, every uninsured person could've had their premiums paid and given a mansion w/ an Olympic-sized pool. O'care is the biggest disastrous social upheaval since China's cultural revolution.

I wouldn't get too excited about single payer.
"Telling harsh truths about the NHS is a bitter but necessary pill"
"Take the scandal of cancer treatment in Britain. Figures from the Department of Health suggest that up to 10,000 deaths a year could be avoided if patients were diagnosed at the same earlier stage as other countries. ... Britain is second worst in the developed world for survival rates in breast, bowel and cervical cancer."
"In Sweden, however, a lot of things are done differently. GP clinics can be run as companies and charge about £20 per visit. They compete for patients, and advertise. The patients, through the market, are in control. Hospitals such as St Göran in Stockholm are run by profit-seeking companies and are used to providing better service for less cost. So Sweden, by some measures the most socialistic country in the free world, has no qualms about private clinics serving state patients."

Here's a peek into the nightmare world of government-run medicine:
"My son and his Croatian wife just had my first grandchild in Croatia where they live. Excellent prenatal care, competent and high-tech labor and delivery and even twice weekly home visits by an RN for weeks following the birth. Not a penny out of pocket. No worries about co-pays or deductibles or procedures & drugs not covered in a restrictive policy. All from Croatia's socialized healthcare, funded by a value-added tax on everything purchased in the country. Can anybody in the United States even imagine anything so wonderful?"44856355
Fri, 2013-12-13 23:58
"funded by a value-added tax on everything purchased in the country."
Note that Croatia at least didn't `fund' it by redistribution or charge it on a national credit card to be paid by the unborn....."everything purchased" means everybody pays.....
Cost of medical care & Rx in 3rd world countries are dirt cheap, relative to advanced countries.......it's why lots of Americans retire to Guatemala, Mexico, etc.......ask why is it dirt-poor Cuba can afford to `exports' medical teams throughout Central and South America....one reason is their doctors aren't paid much....there are far too many dissimilarities between a Croatia and the US. Why not compare our military vs. theirs? How much foreign aid and world policing do the Croatians do? Did they rush hospital ships to help after the Indonesian tsunami? Send heavy equipments and helicopters to Pakistan after its big earthquake? Have 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants needing everything?
If Croatia is so great, they would be fighting off illegals!

You may be a ThinkingDem but you're not thinking too clearly. The biggest flaw in your dissertation is that you seem to place almost no value on individual liberty and choice of a free people. The notion that people can make determination of their own individual needs and don't wish to place their destiny into the hands of bureaucrats. This is what made our society great and why so many in other parts of the world dreamed to be here. Obamacare will harm millions more people than it will help. MILLIONS more!! There is no acceptable excuse for the lack of foresight to these consequences but the blindness inherent in all liberals like yourself is that inability to see what price had to be paid in order to achieve your debatably noble ends. I do hope someday however, you will realize the value of your freedom before you have lost it.

I knew Obama was lying the first time he made those statements, and I knew he was still lying the 30th time he made them to all of the American people. There are memos in the White House that his policy team knew he was LYING, but his political team decided he should continue to LIE. So if I knew, his entire White House knew, how is it possible that the smartest man in the room didn't know? Well Obama clearly is only the smartest man in any room when he is the only man in that room. And secondly he clearly knew he was Lying and defrauding the American people he just didn't care. It served his purpose and I'm sure his Marxist notion of the Greater Good no matter how many millions of individual suffered. I'm sure Stalin thought the Gulags were fully justified by the Greater Good as did Mao and Pol Pot. Obama is the most arrogant, dishonest, corrupt, and Incompetent President in all of U.S. history. However, he remains, UNFORTUNATELY, President for 3 more years. Let's hope we can survive somehow?
Fri, 2013-12-13 23:46
I have to agree with you. Personally, I thought it was obvious that virtually all policies, individual or employer based, would be canceled to fit the broad interests of the Democrats. So I knew Obama was lying for a long time. I kinda thought it was obvious. So I've been surprised at how many people were shocked, shocked that policies were canceled.
Fri, 2013-12-13 18:51
This is an interesting perspective: the President is the living embodiment of the causes he supports, and must therefore be supported no matter what, because his failure means the failure (and death) of his causes. Perhaps this explains his persistent 40% approval ratings - there may be 40% of the population that thinks this way.
I'm tempted to say that this reveals a fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals. When conservatives were faced with a flailing and apparently incompetent Republican President, they disapproved of his performance. When liberals are faced with a flailing and apparently incompetent Democratic President, they nevertheless approve of his performance because they can't imagine abandoning their leader.
But that would probably be too harsh.
Fri, 2013-12-13 19:28
"This is the first time that reasonable people have caught the president telling an explicitly incontestable untruth, however small a percentage of insurance policies it may actually apply to.."
This is just dis-information. It isn't an "untruth", it is a lie. It isn't a small percentage of policies, it is virtually every policy in the private market this year. It will be virtually every policy in the employer market next year.
Fri, 2013-12-13 19:44
The broad recognition of the BIG LIE is the end of Obama as a political force. Whereas Bush Sr.'s "read my lips, no new taxes" cost him re-election (weakened him sufficiently for Perot to take away a lot of votes, almost mine as well), Obama's BIG LIE led to his re-election. You can bet a lot more than the number of `hanging chad' ballots in one state (Florida in 2000), would NOT have gone to Obama, NATIONWIDE.
Obama's second term is, in essence, illegitimate........perversely like Dan Rather's "It's accurate.....even if it's faked".
Fri, 2013-12-13 20:08
Let's cut to the chase, ignoring all the trashy comments. OK? When the Act was passed it included a clause which did in fact allow insurance companies to keep the existing insurance policies in force, but not sell new ones after a stated date which did not include the various improvements. They would also have to advise insurees that the old policies did NOT include those improvements and that, in selling new ones, they would have to also explain that this policy had to include the improvements subsequently. Caught with these "tough sells" they opted to cancel. In fact he did not "lie", insurors did.

Very fashionable to call Obama a liar or anything else they can manufacture. Don't try to make sense with these people. Maybe they can get sick, go without insurance and no one cares. That is the karma they deserve and shall get. Hope the insurance cartel is really messed up right now so they can't run to the bank with their profits. Motto is they want to be "free to die" or the old system back. haha I'd like to see Wall Street and the NSA under similar regulations as the ACA. Maybe then we would have a respectable US again. But how could we do what the rest of the world does for half the price? They really don't pay more in taxes.
They regulate. Once we knew that word.

The liar who lies once and badly—assuming the worst, which is that he knew better—commands our attention.
Once, you say?
"PolitiFact counted 37 times when he'd included no caveats, such as a high-profile speech to the American Medical Association in 2009: "If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
Sorry, but when you tell the same lie 37 times, you're a liar. That's right, Barack Obama is a liar. Period. Spin it however you want. If you feel the need to excuse and defend a liar because he's a Democratic liar, try to have the courage to say so.

Leftists - which equals just about all Democrats these days, are willing to trade this country's greatness for their own power. The will destroy freedom, individual liberty, and the rule of law in their avaricious quest for it.
I haven't decided which variety Obama is yet, although I suspect it's the latter, but regardless the effect is the same. Destruction of our first principles and a grinding slide into slow growth, poverty, and inequality for our the nations young people.
It truly is maddening.

Thank you President Obama for shaking up the health care cartel who cherry-pick healthy people and those with employers who will pay large amounts of money for their workers for health care. We are 50% inflated over the rest of the world with bad results. Millions are now getting health insurance some for the first time in their lives. Never does the media report on those who die and suffer without access to care. Instead they rant about lies as if the entire vulture capitalistic health care cartel is not an offense to human decency.
Sat, 2013-12-28 12:04
Poor poor Americans are sending the insurance companies laughing all the way to the bank. The ACA was passed 3 years ago. The insurance companies had the rules, but pretend they can't read. They cancelled all of you. What a surprise. Usually your premiums would be going up 15% because they use the threat of sickness and death to be able to manipulate you out of your money. Let's pretend the old system was wonderful and worked perfectly run by those "businessmen" who knew how to make a buck. They spent billions making sure they defeated any threat to that profit. President Obama is termed out in 2 years leaving about 10 million right now who are better off then they were 3 years ago without "pre-existing conditions", on parents plans or never had access to health insurance before. Time for some righteous anger about how good "conservatives" are and have been. No one believes that. Chant "lie" all you want, but death panels from the vulture capitalists is more accurate.

Words that have a very specific meaning in color theory can have much broader, more nebulous meaning in the average person's mind. So being sure your client understands what you mean when you're describing a color scheme can be a tricky proposition.
Here's a handy glossary defining five of the most common – and most commonly misused – color terms: tint, shade, tone, value and saturation.
Put simply, a tint is a lighter variation of a color. Tints are created by adding white to colors. For example, pink is a tint of red. A commonly held meaning of this word is to add color to something (blue-tinted hair), so it's important to be clear with clients that the color-theory meaning is quite different.
A color made darker by adding black to it. Navy is a shade of blue. This word is routinely used to describe any variation of color, even much lighter ones — take for example the 1960s song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" — so some clients may not understand that shades are darker than the base color.
If gray is added to a color, a tone of that color is created. Tones are generally more muted versions of colors. Clients sometimes refer to grayer versions of colors as "tints" or "shades," a distinction not widely known outside the art and design communities.
This term describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Colors with more white (tints) have higher value, and darker colors (shades) have lower value. It's a very helpful term when describing the possibilities of color, but you'll want to explain it clearly to clients.
The purity or intensity of a color is called saturation. The most-saturated colors are vivid and strong, where less-saturated colors can appear washed out or muted. Gray has zero saturation. The quality of light can affect saturation; for example, a painted wall's color can appear more saturated during the day and less so as the light fades, and different types of artificial light can enhance or diminish saturation.

If you were at the first ever Food Truck Festival at Santa Anita Park as I was last month, you know how crazy busy they can get and how long one might have to wait just for a nibble of what is to be gourmet food truck fare.
I'll admit, I was expecting some wait, having been to a food truck festival a while back in Glendale. But this was different. First, the Santa Anita event was a weekend, unlike the festival I'd been to at the Americana was a weekday. A weekend event seems to draw more of a crowd. Second, there was a separate entrance fee to the festival area within the park unlike in Glendale, where it was all open and no extra fee aside from the food.
Web comments after the Santa Anita festival showed how frustrated event attendees were as they waited hours at just one food truck. I arrived with my friends about an hour after the festival began and already could see at least 50 people at each line. Some trucks were already shut down by that time. Lines were intertwining with other lines making it confusing to find an end to one.
A friend and I found the shortest line at the Knockout Tacos Truck, which serves tacos inspired by various global cuisines.
Our other group of friends waited about 30 minutes at the beer garden as well, where the selections weren't much to be desired but still better than the typical domestic or imports you find at the local dive.
Luckily for me, the KO Taco truck was next to the soundstage and I was entertained by the Spazmatics as I waited, mostly alone. My friends gave up and went to get hot dogs and popcorn from the park concession stands and place a few bets on some races. I hung in, even though there were a few times I also gave up. Every once in a while, the girl taking taco orders would come out and cover up another item on the menu that is sold out. I wondered if it would even be worth waiting all that time – almost three hours – for a few tacos or maybe none at all, if they ran out before I got up to the front of the line.
I hung in considering I hadn't ever heard of this food truck before and didn't know if these tacos were any good. I got three behind and I could still see four kinds of tacos on the menu – taco dorado con carne (shredded beef taco in a fried, crunchy tortilla shell); jalapeno teriyaki chicken taco with marinated cucumber and roasted jalapenos; bbq pork burnt ends taco with baked beans and southern style cole slaw; and the taco de papas, or spiced yukon gold mashed potatoes with lettuce, salsa, pico de gallo, cheese and crema mexicana, a Mexican-style cream.
Finally, I reached the end and these taco items were still available – "two of each please," I said with a slight hesitation. I wasn't sure if there would be enough to order two of each or if something changed last minute and nothing was available. They were and at $2.50 to $3.50 each, and hours later – I was holding a lot of expectations for these tacos.
As hungry as I was by the time I got the tacos – 10 minutes later – I did share them with friends who still had room after hot dogs.
We all agreed the jalapeno teriyaki had moist pieces of chicken and a great cucumber topping, almost like a slaw, with a nice cool spiciness to it. No one else seemed to share the same love and enthusiasm I had for the potato tacos though but they were my favorite. The potatoes were creamy and had a great spicy salsa flavor mashed right in. It was also topped with lots of grated cheese, I can never have enough cheese.
The bbq burnt end taco was also tasty but I was expecting a little more burnt end pieces with a crunchiness where it was more of cubed pork pieces.
The Lobster Truck still had a line as the festival winded down, though smaller, and I was tempted to give it a try. That was one of the trucks we wanted to try first.
Instead I settled for some dessert at Tapa Boy, a Filipino food truck. I had the fried flan pieces. My friend visited the Chunk N' Chip truck for a warm chocolate chip cookie and cool mint ice cream sandwich.
After our experience at two different truck festivals, we decided to just stick to following certain food trucks as they come to the area, one truck at a time. But with the city of Rosemead's Munch for the Memorial food truck festival this weekend – Saturday and Sunday – and the appearance of the Grill 'Em All truck, the winners of the Food Network's first The Great Food Truck Race, I can't say never just yet.
Even after hearing of the Grill 'Em All truck coming to the San Gabriel Valley, I couldn't help but take advantage of their recent President's Day lunch stop in Echo Park. I happened to be off as well and my husband and I decided for some burger lunch.
We watched the Food Network reality competition show so we're already aware of some of the burgers the truck featured including the Behemoth – a nice grilled burger patty, cheddar, bacon, beer soaked onions, pickles, Grandma's mosh pit bbq, sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwich buns. I think the name says it all.
My husband decided to take on the Behemoth while I wanted to Waste 'em All – burger with green chilies, beer soaked onions and pepper jack. Fries are nice and crunchy and come with your choice of sauce – garlic aioli, Grandma's mosh pit bbq, malt vinegar aioli, chipotle ketchup, ketchup or blue cheese.
We tried the bbq and chipotle ketchup. Both pretty delicious. My favorite thing about the burgers were we could tell it was quality ground beef, very tasty, and the patties were not small by any means. Mine was even a little medium rare – I love medium rare!
If you don't mind the festival crowd, check out Grill 'Em All and more than 15 more food trucks including Tapa Boy, Sweets Truck, Dosa Truck, Jose O'Malleys and more from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 26 and from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 27 at the UFC Gym parking lot, 8920 Glendon Way, Rosemead.
The festival is being held to benefit the city's September 11 Memorial. Admission is free and a limited number of 'Cut to the Front' passes will be sold at $20 for each truck on each day. For more information, visit www.cityofrosemead.org, www.facebook.com/rosemeadca or www.grillemalltruck.com .

Thanks for this consideration! It really is a huge help! We would love to stay for the entire concert, but we are caregivers and I'm pregnant, so we can only stay for 4-6 hours tops. We greatly appreciate being able to better choose which of those hours we'll attend and of, courser, the linefup announcement will affect that decision.
I'm sure there are thousands of other legitimate stories from the other concert goers about the desire to know this information. We can also recognize and appreciate that concerts on this scale will always have schedules adjustments on day of....however, getting a general idea really is a great courtesy to your supporters!
how about tonight???ReplyDelete
(won't have computer access
Is there anyone going up later just for the headliners or 4 hours that is leaving from Boston that I could catch a ride to/from with? There are only a small handful of acts I want to see.... John Mellencamp mostly. Plus, I couldn't find anyone around today to help out with my dog so I am limited to under 6 hours total. I don't even have a ticket but from what I hear there will be people desperate to unload their extra tickets at the event so I should be safe if I just show up.ReplyDelete

Jack Zuckner, M.D., 1922-2011
Zuckner Founded the Division of Rheumatology at Saint Louis University
Jack Zuckner, M.D., (Med. '47) a former professor and director of rheumatology at Saint Louis University, passed away on March 22. He was 88.
|Jack Zuckner, M.D.
A well-known leader in the field of rheumatology, Zuckner was the first rheumatologist in the St. Louis area. He joined the faculty at Saint Louis University School of Medicine in 1952, and served as director of the division of rheumatology from 1955-1983.
In 1963, Zuckner developed the first pediatric arthritis clinic in Missouri at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. He also founded SLU's Arthritis Clinical and Research Center, one of the first local clinics to provide specialized care for arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
Terry Moore, M.D., who has served as director of the division of rheumatology since Zuckner retired in 1983, recalls his mentor as both an excellent clinician and educator. According to Moore, Zuckner's legacy continues in the generations of rheumatologists he helped train.
"Dr. Zuckner was highly respected by all of his peers as an outstanding clinician. As an educator, he taught his students to conduct the most definitive physical exams. He stressed the importance of working up patients completely and not missing any aspects. He was an outstanding mentor in developing that attention to detail in all of his students, residents and fellows," Moore said.
Zuckner was the first person to become a Master with the American College of Rheumatology in the state of Missouri, and held numerous leadership roles in professional organizations including The Arthritis Foundation and American Rheumatism Association.
He authored dozens of scholarly papers on arthritis and a book Arthritis: Fact/Not Fiction, which provided patients with answers to common questions concerning the disease.
Zuckner served in the U.S. Naval Reserve as a lieutenant. He graduated from Saint Louis University School of Medicine and completed residencies in internal medicine in Goldwater Memorial Hospital in New York City and St. Louis Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. He developed his interest in arthritis during a research fellowship in rheumatic diseases at the Hospital for Special Surgery at Cornell University Medical College.
Though Zuckner retired from SLU in 1983, he maintained a private practice until 1995 and continued to participate in regular division conferences up until a few years ago.
Zuckner was married to the late Phyllis Saffern Zuckner for 63 years. He is survived by his two sons, Daniel and Andrew Zuckner.

Object::ToString Method
Returns a string that represents the current object.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
ToString is the major formatting method in the .NET Framework. It converts an object to its string representation so that it is suitable for display. (For information about formatting support in the .NET Framework, see Formatting Types in the .NET Framework.)
The default implementation of the ToString method returns the fully qualified name of the type of the Object, as the following example shows.
Because Object is the base class of all reference types in the .NET Framework, this behavior is inherited by reference types that do not override the ToString method. The following example illustrates this. It defines a class named Object1 that accepts the default implementation of all Object members. Its ToString method returns the object's fully qualified type name.
Types commonly override the ToString method to return a string that represents the object instance. For example, the base types such as Char, Int32, and String provide ToString implementations that return the string form of the value that the object represents. The following example defines a class, Object2, that overrides the ToString method to return the type name along with its value.
using namespace System; ref class Object2 { private: Object^ value; public: Object2(Object^ value) { this->value = value; } virtual String^ ToString() override { return Object::ToString() + ": " + value->ToString(); } }; void main() { Object2^ obj2 = gcnew Object2(L'a'); Console::WriteLine(obj2->ToString()); } // The example displays the following output: // Object2: a
Notes for the Windows Runtime
When you call the ToString method on a class in the Windows Runtime, it provides the default behavior for classes that don't override ToString. This is part of the support that the .NET Framework provides for the Windows Runtime (see .NET Framework Support for Windows Store Apps and Windows Runtime). Classes in the Windows Runtime don't inherit Object, and don't always implement a ToString. However, they always appear to have ToString, Equals(Object), and GetHashCode methods when you use them in your C# or Visual Basic code, and the .NET Framework provides a default behavior for these methods.
Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5.1, the common language runtime will use IStringable.ToString on a Windows Runtime object before falling back to the default implementation of Object::ToString.
Windows Runtime classes that are written in C# or Visual Basic can override the ToString method.
Starting with Windows 8.1, the Windows Runtime includes an IStringable interface whose single method, IStringable.ToString, provides basic formatting support comparable to that provided by Object::ToString. To prevent ambiguity, you should not implement IStringable on managed types.
When managed objects are called by native code or by code written in languages such as JavaScript or C++/CX, they appear to implement IStringable. The common language runtime will automatically route calls from IStringable.ToString to Object::ToString in the event IStringable is not implemented on the managed object.
Because the common language runtime auto-implements IStringable for all managed types in Windows Store apps, we recommend that you do not provide your own IStringable implementation. Implementing IStringable may result in unintended behavior when calling ToString from the Windows Runtime, C++/CX, or JavaScript.
If you do choose to implement IStringable in a public managed type that is exported in a Windows Runtime component, the following restrictions apply:
You can define the IStringable interface only in a "class implements" relationship, such as
public class NewClass : IStringable
in C#, or
Public Class NewClass : Implements IStringable
in Visual Basic.
You cannot implement IStringable on an interface.
You cannot declare a parameter to be of type IStringable.
IStringable cannot be the return type of a method, property, or field.
You cannot hide your IStringable implementation from base classes by using a method definition such as the following:
public class NewClass : IStringable { public new string ToString() { return "New ToString in NewClass"; } }
Instead, the IStringable.ToString implementation must always override the base class implementation. You can hide a ToString implementation only by invoking it on a strongly typed class instance.
Note that under a variety of conditions, calls from native code to a managed type that implements IStringable or hides its ToString implementation can produce unexpected behavior.
When you implement your own types, you should override the ToString method to return values that are meaningful for those types. Derived classes that require more control over formatting than ToString provides can implement the IFormattable interface. Its IFormattable::ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method enables you to define format strings that control formatting and to use an IFormatProvider object that can provide for culture-specific formatting.
Overrides of the ToString method should follow these guidelines:
The returned string should be friendly and readable by humans.
The returned string should uniquely identify the value of the object instance.
The returned string should be as short as possible so that it is suitable for display by a debugger.
Your ToString override should not return String::Empty or a null string.
Your ToString override should not throw an exception.
If the string representation of an instance is culture-sensitive or can be formatted in multiple ways, implement the IFormattable interface.
If the returned string includes sensitive information, you should first demand an appropriate permission. If the demand succeeds, you can return the sensitive information; otherwise, you should return a string that excludes the sensitive information.
Your ToString override should have no observable side effects to avoid complications in debugging. For example, a call to the ToString method should not change the value of instance fields.
If your type implements a parsing method (or Parse or TryParse method, a constructor, or some other static method that instantiates an instance of the type from a string), you should ensure that the string returned by the ToString method can be converted to an object instance.

No different than 99% of PC games that require cdkeys.
In terms of a legal stand point can they really end the used games market? Surely by their means of DRM to prevent used games being played will close down lots of businesses which im sure is against some fair trade acts or whatever.

You will likely have an activation code, like with Windows. Once you have activated your game you can probably play it offline on that console to your hearts content. Of course if you put the disc in another console the disc will work, however the activation code will have already been used. Again exactly like Windows, I could use my disc to install it on someone else's computer however my serial number would not activate it.

Having it included with the system doesn't really changed the fact that flailing your arms around like a fool has no practical use outside of things like just dance and kinect sports.

Kinect is, and always will be, a gimmicky piece of hardware that no "true" gamer will want or need. Visual gestures and voice commands won't add any tangible value to typical games; and it will only ever be truly useful in dancing/exercise games. And it has already impacted those who don't want it because of the changes to the 360 dashboard. The nextbox requiring that it be plugged in is evidence that it's going to be a big part of the console's user experience which is not exciting for those of us who don't want it. Again, a feature like this should be optional.

Cognitive SciencePage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/programs/cognitivescience.html
|Arts & Humanities
|Program Website
|Undergraduate Degree Type(s)
|Program Description
|Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary inquiry concerned with understanding the nature and development of such intelligent capacities as perception, language, reasoning, learning and problem-solving, whether these capacities are realized in biological or artificial systems. Such inquiry is by its very nature interdisciplinary, integrating methodological, theoretical and practical foci of Biology, Computer Science, Philosophy and Psychology into a single course of study. The cognitive science major is a broad major and does not require that a student complete a minor in addition to the major.
The structure of the major insures that students have a solid grounding in each of the four disciplines as well as a specific concentration in one area that draws on the interdisciplinary foundation. Graduates of the program will be prepared for a variety of post-baccalaureate options. They will be prepared for any of the careers open to graduates with degrees in one of the participating disciplines. They will be prepared for graduate study in traditional programs in Biology, Computer Science, Psychology or Philosophy. They will also be prepared for study in one of the many recently developed graduate Cognitive Science programs as well as graduate study in related programs such as cognition, brain, and behavior, cognitive neuroscience, biopsychology and human-computer interaction. Those who choose to study the law, a path frequently chosen by philosophy majors, will be well suited for legal practice concerned with the variety of legal complexities associated with the development of new technology.
|Admission Requirements
|Admission to Major is granted by the department.
Minimum University admission requirements are:
|Other Requirements
|Each Cognitive Science major will concentrate in one of the following disciplines: Biology, Philosophy or Psychology. The concentration typically requires 24 credits of work. In addition to the concentration each student with take core courses from each of the other participating disciplines: Biology, Computer Science, Philosophy and Psychology. Each core will typically require 12 credits of course work, a total of 36 credits. A student need not do the core for her or his area of concentration since the core is already included in the concentration.

Tried to make caramel dipped apple slices. Had chocolate dip too, skull sprinkles, candy corn. Turns out the caramel is not the kind that un-gooeys in the fridge. Big mess.

It's MLS preview season and the latest of interest is this funny -- and informative -- exchange between Alexi Lalas and Taylor Twellman for their "Big Head Red Head" feature on ESPNFC.com.
Check it out below.
Happy Landon Donovan Day!
It's an American soccer holiday as LA Galaxy and U.S. National Team superstar Landon Donovan celebrates his 32nd birthday today.
Donovan's resume is not short of accolades and on the occasion of his 32nd birthday, one of my favorite sites Complex Magazine crowned him as the Best American Soccer Player ever. There's little surprise that Donovan would be the choice as he is currently the U.S. National Team's leading goal scorer and one goal short of becoming the all-time leader in MLS regular season goals.
At 32, Donovan is expected to play a major role in the fortunes of the U.S. National Team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil this summer and ahead of that tournament, Donovan spoke about his World Cup experience –and his future— to MLSsoccer.com.
Check out the video below.
The MLS season is almost upon us.
When the LA Galaxy took the training pitch on Monday, they did so with the season opener against Real Salt Lake less than a month away. Following training, Bruce Arena provided an injury update on the likes of Todd Dunivant and Jaime Penedo, who the Galaxy boss says are approaching full fitness. Meanwhile, Robbie Rogers remains on the mend with Arena stating that he's "getting closer to returning to the field."
Even though the Galaxy are turning their focus to RSL, that does not mean that they've forgotten the issues of that led to the team's downfall a year ago. In a conversation with reporters on Monday, midfielder Marcelo Sarvas eloquently laid out the team's issues in 2013 and how exactly they hope to correct them this season.
"What we expect to see different than last year is that first: when we're leading we need to be able to hold for results. Secondly, we conceded many goals on corners and fouls and we need to play differently [this year]," said Sarvas. "Third, we need to have presence in the box and have the ability to put the ball inside [the penalty area]. If we did this last season then we could be champions. The game is the same for us, we're going to be building from the back, try to find the last pass and let just simply let our guys play."
CARSON, Calif. – With the unveiling of the new LA Galaxy kits on Monday, several players will be donning new jersey numbers.
Midfielder Gyasi Zardes will be wearing the No. 11 in 2014 after wearing No. 29 a year ago while goalkeeper Brian Perk will wear No. 1 after wearing No. 24 last season.
As for the new additions Rob Friend will be wearing No. 16, Baggio Hušidić is donning No. 6, Stefan Ishizaki will wear No. 24, Bradford Jamieson IV will don the No. 38, Raul Mendiola will wear No. 40, while new Brazilian forward Samuel will wear the No. 9 kit. Of the potential new signings defender James Riley has worn the No. 26 this preseason while Dan Gargan has donned the No. 33 which was formerly worn by Jose Villarreal.
Zardes is excited for the move to a lower number and hopes that the switch leads to more confidence on the field in his second year with the club.
"I'm just trying to be more confident," said Zardes. "I've got one year under my belt to build upon so I know how it is to go through a season as a professional. I'm just trying to use my experiences to my advantage."
Planning to get your new kit with some of these numbers? Think Zardes is ready for No. 11?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy unveiled their new primary kits on Monday.
The new kits feature the same traits that we saw during the reveals that were on LA Galaxy Insider all of last week. Below are a series of interesting videos related to the jerseys including a shot from adidas which describes the kit and one from the Galaxy with statements from LA legends, fans, players from all Galaxy teams.
Remember you can already purchase the kit at the TeamLA Store at StubHub Center and on MLSgear.com.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy dealt defender Greg Cochrane to the Chicago Fire on Monday in exchange for a conditional draft pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft.
Cochrane made just a single start for the Galaxy this preseason (during their 2-1 victory over F.C. Shirak) after making a total of 15 showings in all competitions during 2013 campaign. Despite an injury to regular left back Todd Dunivant, Cochrane had fallen behind expected signing James Riley in the depth chart.
The deal to trade Cochrane could bode well for veteran trialist Dan Gargan who has been with the club throughout the preseason. LA released defender Brian Gaul last week.
Thoughts on the Cochrane trade?
Share them below.
The new LA Galaxy jersey will be revealed later today, but first the U.S. National Team unveiled their new primary kit for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The kit, which will be worn by both the USMNT and the U.S. women's team, features an all-white design with gray horizontal pinstripes throughout the body and the sleeves. Meanwhile, on the inside of the back collar is a blue pennant design that features the 13 stars from the original American flag.
The jersey will be available world-wide on Wednesday, but is already for sale at Nike stores and nike.com on preorder.
Check it out below.
LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane was named the Republic of Ireland's Senior International Player of the Year on Sunday in a ceremony at the RTE Television Studios in Dublin.
Keane tallied eight goals internationally to boost his all-time Ireland national team record to 62 goals.The Ireland captain's international tally is fourth among European international goal scorers behind Ferenc Puskás (89 goals for Hungary and Spain), Sándor Kocsis (75 goals for Hungary), Gerd Müller, and Miroslav Klose (both with 68 goals for Germany).
The 33-year-old has now won Ireland's Senior International Player of the Year award two times and the FAI Young International Player of the Year award twice.
Although the award is certainly an honor for Keane, it is his acceptance video that is a must-see.
Check it out below.
The wait is almost over, the LA Galaxy's new primary kit will be unveiled on Monday morning.
The jersey is set to be officially released on LAGalaxy.com at 11:11 am and be immediately available for purchase. In the final look at the jersey, we can see the "This is LA" blue-and-gold jock tag placed on the bottom of the kit. As you know, the tag is also on the team's current secondary jerseys.
Remember that you can pick up the jersey tomorrow at the Team LA Store and at MLSGear online. Season ticket holders will also be able to use their discounts to purchase the kit at the StubHub Center's Team LA Store.
Excited for the new kit? Below are the other four jersey reveals.
New LA Galaxy training top kit
Jersey Look #1: Back collar
Jersey Look #2: Logo
Jersey Look #3: Sash stripes
Club Tijuana came within 10 minutes of their first road victory in over a year, but a late goal by Liber Quiñones sealed a 1-1 draw for the Xolos against Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, and extended Tijuana's road winless streak to 19 games.
Midfielder Christian Pellerano gave Tijuana the lead six minutes into the match as a failed Veracruz clearance of a Xolos' corner fell perfectly for the Argentine who slotted it past the goalkeeper for the finish. Tijuana went down a man in the 78th minute as Pellerano was sent off for his second yellow leaving the Xolos to play with 10 for the remainder of the game. Up a man, Veracruz made Xolos pay three minutes later when the Tiburones Rojos (Red Sharks) took advantage of some shambolic Tijuana defending as Angel Reyna floated a pass over the visitors back-line to a waiting Quiñones who easily fired a shot past Cirilo Saucedo for the equalizer.
Former Galaxy striker Herculez Gomez and Texas-native Greg Garza started and fellow American Joe Corona came on midway through the first half due to a shoulder injury to Fernando Arce. Paul Arriola and recent U.S. National team call-up Edgar Castillo were not on the game day roster.
Highlights of the draw are below.

Barrow Raiders blitz Rochdale: with video highlights
Last updated at 16:38, Monday, 23 April 2012
- Barrow Raiders v Rochdale Hornets Match Highlights Click Here
BARROW Raiders produced one of their finest scoring runs in years to land a knockout blow on Rochdale and claim victory at Craven Park.
Trailing 12-6 after 49 minutes and facing the prospect of a Hornets charge putting the visitors in control, Barrow turned on the style.Inspired by half-backs Darren Holt and Liam Campbell and driven up the field by forwards Andy Bracek, Ruairi McGoff and Liam Harrison, Raiders produced a run of 32 points in 17 minutes to knock their visitors to the canvas.
Scoring with almost every set of six they had during the period, Barrow ripped the game from the grasp of Rochdale and inflicted a heavy defeat on their rivals for Championship One promotion.
The match had seemed to be swinging the way of the Hornets after they came out level at 6-6 from the half-time break and quickly went ahead for the first time through a Paul Crook try on a the back of a Dean Gorton break.
Rochdale were pinning Barrow back on their own line, but it was Crooks' decision to kick for goal when handed a penalty 10 yards out following a McGoff high tackle that was to backfire spectacularly.
Crook missed the straightforward kick and handed Raiders the initiative.
They withstood the following Rochdale attack and when Liam Finch somehow emerged with an intercepted ball on halfway, the platform was set for Aaron Low to break and send Andy Ballard streaking away, his bright orange boots leaving a trail of bedazzled and broken Hornets in his wake.
Back level when they could have been eight points down, Barrow now proceeded to score at regular three-minute intervals and demolish their opponents in both body and spirit.
Captain Harrison laid the second score of what was to become a spree on a plate for Chris Larkin, his offload near the line requiring the centre to merely fall over the whitewash and make it 18-12.
Barrow then went from one end of the field to the other with a single set of six as they collected the restart on their own goal-line and marched up field.
On the fourth tackle, the ball came to Holt, who cleverly lobbed a kick over the Rochdale line and watched as James Nixon pursued at pace, collected and went in at the corner.
No sooner had the home spectators caught their breath, than Barrow were back camped inside the Hornets 10-metre zone and a neat little shimmy from Campbell saw him go over for his first of the afternoon.
It was becoming like clockwork now and three minutes after scoring number one, Campbell added number two.
This time, Holt played a major role, kicking not just a 40-20, but more like a 30-10 kick had Rochdale turned around and confused. Nixon could have scored himself when the gap opened for him wide on the left, but he chose to cut inside with the fans already cheering his not-take effort.
Instead, the ball went to the right and there was Campbell again, taking a neat inside pass from Holt as he ran across the line and through a hole in the defence.
Perhaps things were starting to catch up with Raiders by this point as it took them a whole five minutes to score their next four-pointer.
This time Larkin produced an audacious offload he should never have been able to manage and sent Nixon in for a second score.
From being 12-6 down, Barrow were 38-12 up in the blink of an eye. Game over Rochdale, thanks for coming.
Steve McDermott grabbed them a consolation three minutes from time, but Ballard capped the day off for Raiders as he scored his second of the afternoon, one play after his break from halfway was halted five yards short.
The events of the second half were unthinkable during a see-saw first period which neither side were able to dominate. Low – having received miraculously reviving oxygen in the first minute after taking a nasty knock while making a tackle – opened the scoring as he supported a Martin Ostler break and went in under the posts.
James Dandy spilled a Campbell pass that could have resulted in try number two and five successive sets – as Hornets conceded a wealth of penalties – led to nothing as McGoff knocked on.
Larkin produced a superb one-man tackle to stop Mark Hobson pulling a score back and John Cookson was halted on the line by a pack of Barrow defenders.
Rochdale did level matters when Crook put Danny Davies in on 25 minutes, but Barrow withstood pressure going into the break, while failing to breach the visitors' defence themselves.
It was a tight match and all looked set for a close finish come the end of the 80 minutes.
That was until Ballard starting a scoring blitz that befuddled Rochdale and well and truly put down a marker for all teams visiting Craven Park.

Have your say
being an exile and not getting to many games I'm looking forward to seeing the Raiders away at South Wales,if anyone is thinking of going its free for kids.
Congratulations to all - players, coach, assistant coach, back room staff, Directors. A superb win over a probable tough opponent and no bonus points to Rochdale. Well deserved win still joint top with Worky. Need to get the points difference widened.
Well Done!

Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman II Targeted for UFC 168; Rousey vs. Tate Could Get Pushed Back
Heading into UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman on Saturday, UFC president Dana White said if Anderson Silva lost to Chris Weidman that there would be an immediate rematch. He said it would be a "no brainer."
Weidman ended Silva's record streak of 10 successful UFC middleweight title defenses with two left hands and follow-up punches on the ground early in the second round.
On Monday, White told Los Angeles Times reporter Lance Pugmire that he's excited for the rematch and is considering making it the UFC 168 headliner on Dec. 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is scheduled to rematch Miesha Tate on the UFC 168 fight card, but White said he's considering moving that fight to Super Bowl weekend and replacing it with Silva vs. Weidman II. White believes the rematch between Weidman and Silva would be the biggest fight in UFC history.
Weidman offered Silva a rematch during his post-fight interview with commentator Joe Rogan.
"I just have to say all respect to Anderson Silva," said Weidman. "I'll give him an immediate rematch if he wants to do it."
A rematch hinges on whether or not Silva wants it, something he said he did not immediately following his first UFC defeat.
"Chris is the champion now," said Silva. "I finish my work. I no more fight for the belt. I fight for the belt for a long time. I'm tired."
During the post-fight press conference, Silva pulled back on his comments, leaving the door cracked for a possible rematch.
"I want to take some time off and maybe three to four months, think about what I want to do. Really, right now, I can't think about (a rematch)," Silva explained. "I just want to take some time off, go home, and think about everything and be alone.
"There's a lot of pressure in defending this title. I defended it for a long time, so I need some time to myself."
UFC's Dana White could put Chris Weidman-Anderson Silva II on Dec. 28
White told The Times in a telephone interview Monday morning that he is strongly considering making Weidman-Silva II the main event of his pre-New Year's Eve card on Dec. 28.
"After I chilled a bit and thinking how big this fight was going to be, how this guy knocked out Anderson Silva, I'm thinking why have a card that conflicts with the Super Bowl on [broadcast partner] Fox?" White said. "We want our own date for this massive fight with no conflicts.
"So I'm very tempted to take it to Dec. 28."
That would shift the scheduled Dec. 28 fight between UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate to Super Bowl weekend, White said.An industry official familiar with the situation but unauthorized to discuss it publicly said Silva-Weidman generated somewhere between 625,000 and 650,000 pay-per-view buys, with Silva earning a guaranteed $600,000 plus bonuses expected to take him to $5 million.
