The general major in sociology requires that students take eight courses, no more than two of which may be at the 100-level in the department and no more than one of which may be an anthropology course. Requirements are as follows:
Two sociology core courses: SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research or SOCI 209 Analyzing the Social World, and either SOCI 211 Classical Sociological Theory, or SOCI 212 Contemporary Sociological Theory. The department strongly recommends that core courses be taken as early as possible in a student's career in the major. Students should take at least one sociology course at the 100 or 200 level before taking SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research. SOCI 208 is not intended for first-year students or first-semester sophomores.
Two courses in sociology at the 300 or 400 level, at least one of which is a seminar.
Four other courses in sociology, or three courses in sociology and one in anthropology. Courses that are crosslisted as sociology and anthropology courses count as sociology courses and still allow sociology majors to take one course designated solely as an anthropology course. Students may elect to have GEOG 210 The Urban Condition count towards a major in sociology.
With the exception of Bucknell-sponsored programs like Bucknell en France, Bucknell in Barbados, Bucknell in London, or Bucknell in Northern Ireland, courses taken off campus normally may not substitute for one of the core course requirements or for the two 300- or 400-level seminar courses. The department chair may allow an exception if provided with clear information about the character and quality of off-campus courses and if these courses adequately substitute for material that would be taught on campus. No more than two off-campus courses are ordinarily counted toward the major.
The Culminating Experience (CE) requirement will be provided for general majors in the two courses taken at the 300 and 400 level. Students in the three concentrations will satisfy the CE requirement by taking the specific 300 or 400 level courses required in their concentrations. Honors theses and supervised independent study readings or research would also meet the CE requirement.

Time to check policies as ghost brokers jailed
Simon Read
Simon Read is Personal Finance Editor at The Independent. He edits the Saturday Your Money section as well as writing for the news and business pages of the Independent and i newspaper.
Friday 11 October 2013
The police launched a dramatic crackdown on the practice of ghost broking this week by arresting 27 people in dawn swoops on Wednesday.
Ghost brokers target vulnerable people with offers of low-cost car insurance. But the policies they sell are far from genuine. Some produce fake documentation to trick people into paying for non-existent policies. Others take out a genuine policy but then cancel it and pocket the refund, leaving their victims unknowingly driving around in an unisured car.
It has become a major problem and the police swooped on the crooks this week in Leicestershire, London, Manchester, Thames Valley and the West Midlands following months of investigation.
DCI Dave Wood, head of the City of London Police's Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department, said: "The consequences for innocent motorists who fall victims to ghost brokers can be dire, so it is absolutely vital that drivers shopping for car insurance online, or through other means, question what they are being offered to ensure they get a real deal."
Sue Jones, head of group financial crime at LV, said: "Ghost brokers are becoming more sophisticated in deceiving honest motorists to hand over their cash in return for a cheap policy.Some are setting up on free advertising websites promising cheaper premiums for high-risk drivers, such as younger drivers and those living in high-risk areas."
If you are concerned that your motor cover may not be from a legitimate broker, check the Financial Conduct Authority register to ensure they are FCA registered. Then, once you've received confirmation of cover, check AskMID.com to see if your vehicle shows as insured.
"However, even if it does show on the database initially, the policy will be removed by the insurer if it is found to be based on falsified information," warned Ms Jones.

Cold Comfort: An Interview with John R. Lott
Economist John Lott discusses the benefits of guns--and the hazards of pointing them out.
Until recently, when he bought a 9-mm Ruger after his own research impressed upon him the value of gun ownership, John Lott had no personal experience with firearms, aside from one day of riflery in summer camp when he was 12. That fact did not stop a reviewer of Lott's 1998 book, More Guns, Less Crime (University of Chicago Press), from labeling him a "gun nut." Writing in The American Prospect, Edward Cohn also identified Lott as "a leading loon of the Chicago School of economics, known for its ultra-market ideology." But that was gentle--a backhanded compliment, even--compared to the attacks from anti-gun activists, who accused Lott of producing his landmark study at the behest of the gun industry.
Lott, now a senior research scholar at Yale Law School, used to be the John M. Olin Law and Economics Fellow at the University of Chicago. That position, like similar ones at other major universities, was endowed by a foundation based on the personal fortune of the late John M. Olin, former chairman of the Olin Corporation. Among many other things, the Olin Corporation makes Winchester ammunition. These facts led Kristen Rand of the Violence Policy Center to conclude that "Lott's work was, in essence, funded by the firearms industry"--a charge that was echoed by other gun control ad-vocates, including Charles Schumer, then a Democratic representative from New York and now a senator.
Never mind that assuming the Olin Foundation takes orders from "the firearms industry" is like assuming the Ford Foundation does the bidding of automakers. Never mind that Olin fellows are chosen by faculty committees, not by the foundation (with which Lott never had any contact). Proponents of gun control were desperate to discredit Lott, because his findings contradicted their dark predictions about what would happen if states allowed law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns.
Analyzing 18 years of data for more than 3,000 counties, Lott found that violent crime drops significantly when states switch from discretionary permit policies, which give local officials the authority to determine who may carry a gun, to "shall issue" or "right-to-carry" laws, which require that permits be granted to everyone who meets certain objective criteria. That conclusion, first set forth in a 1997 paper that Lott co-authored with David Mustard, now an economist at the University of Georgia, heartened defenders of gun ownership and dismayed their opponents. Arguing that "shall issue" laws are beneficial, while other gun laws are ineffective at best, Lott quickly became one of the most widely cited--and reviled--scholars in the gun control debate.
Though it was the gun issue that brought Lott notoriety, it hasn't been the focus of his career. The 41-year-old economist, who earned his Ph.D. at UCLA, has published papers on a wide variety of topics, including professional licensing, criminal punishment, campaign finance, and public education. Last summer he published Are Predatory Commitments Credible? (University of Chicago Press), a skeptical look at theories of predatory pricing, and he is working on a book about the reputational penalties faced by criminals, a longstanding interest. In addition to his positions at Yale and the University of Chicago, Lott has served as chief economist at the U.S. Sentencing Commission and taught at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania, among other schools. He lives in Swarth-more, Pennsylvania, with his wife and four children. Senior Editor Jacob Sullum and Washington Editor Michael Lynch talked to Lott at his Yale Law School office in mid-October.
Reason: How did you become interested in guns?
John R. Lott Jr.: About six years ago, I was teaching a class dealing with crime issues at the University of Pennsylvania, and it dawned on me that my students would be interested in some papers on gun control. It forced me to look at the literature systematically to decide what papers to assign to the class. I was shocked by how poorly done the existing research on guns and crime was. You had very small samples. By far the largest previous study on guns and crime had looked at just 170 cities within a single year, 1980. Most of the rest looked at, say, 24 counties or 24 cities within a single year. No one had tried to account for things like arrest rates or conviction rates or prison sentence lengths. And the studies were all very limited in the sense that they were purely cross-sectional, where you look at the crime rates across jurisdictions in one year, or [purely longitudinal], where you pick one city or one county and look at it over time.It was basically because of that class that I saw the benefit to going out and trying to do it right. So I put together what I think is by far the largest study that's ever been done on crime. The book has data on all 3,000-plus counties in the U.S. over an 18-year period. And simply having that large a data set allows you to account for hundreds of factors, thousands of factors, that you couldn't have accounted for in those smaller data sets.
Reason: What has been the most gratifying response to the book? Do you know of any criminologists whose views have been changed by your research?
Lott: Some well-known people like [University of Pennsylvania criminologist] John DiIulio and [UCLA political scientist] James Q. Wilson have said very nice things about the study. I think it's caused DiIulio to look at these issues differently, and there are other criminologists I know of who have been amazed by how strong the data are. I've done lots of empirical studies, and the regularities that you see here, in terms of the drops in violent crimes right after these laws go into effect, are very dramatic.
The intensity of the issue on both sides is something I wouldn't have expected before I got into it. I've been involved in a lot of debates, and people tell me, "You should have anticipated this before you did the study." But I've written about 80 academic articles, and the interest in this has been so outside the range of experiences I've had before. With the vast majority of articles, you're happy if you can get 10 people to read it.
Reason: The thrust of your argument in More Guns, Less Crime is easy enough to understand. But the details of the evidence you cite are hard to follow for anyone who is not trained in econometrics. Does it bother you that people who support the right to keep and bear arms are apt to accept your conclusions at face value, while those who are inclined to support gun control will tend to reject your findings, even though few people in either group are equipped to evaluate the evidence?
Lott: My guess is that [my critics] assume that the vast majority of people who hear their claims are not going to even look at the book. So they say, "Lott didn't account for poverty." Or they say, "Lott didn't account for other types of gun laws." Those are things that are easy to evaluate: Either I did, or I didn't. But I think they feel that they can get away with making those claims, because it'll be only a tiny fraction of 1 percent who will go and buy the book or get it from the library. I've never been involved in a debate like this, because in your normal academic debate, where there are 10 people involved and they've all read the paper, if somebody says, "Professor X didn't account for other gun laws," everybody else in the room would laugh, because they would know it was an absurd claim.
I don't think that most of the comments [the critics] are making are really that difficult to understand. One of the claims, for instance, is that I'm assuming that when these laws are passed there will be a one-time drop in violent crime rates, and it should be the same across all places that adopt these laws. That's absurd. I don't know how much time I spend in the book saying that the level of deterrence is related, according to the data, to the probability that people are going to be able to defend themselves, and the rate at which people get permits changes over time. When you pass these laws, not everybody who eventually is going to get a permit does it the first day. Fifteen years after these laws go into effect, you're still seeing an increasing percentage of the population getting these permits and a decreasing rate of violent crime because of the additional deterrence.
I spend lots of time in the book talking about why you don't expect the drop in crime to be the same in all places....In more urban areas [of states with discretionary permit laws], public officials were especially reluctant to issue permits. So when you change to a nondiscretionary rule, the biggest increases in permits tended to be in these urban areas, and that is where you observe the biggest drops in violent crime.
Reason: Your analysis shows that liberal carry permit policies are associated with lower crime rates even after controlling for a variety of factors that might also have an impact on crime. In the book you concede that some other variable that you did not consider could be responsible for this association. Yet at the end of the book, you write, "Will allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns save lives? The answer is yes, it will." Do statements like that go too far?

How my iPad helped me learn to play guitar
When I decided that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar, I wasn't sure where to start –- so I turned, as I always do, to my trusty iPad.
I'm not the most spontaneous person in the world – my wife and kids would say that is a huge understatement. I am a bit programmed and disciplined and really work on "trying new things."
So, in my disciplined way, I decided that at 48 years of age, it was time for a mid-life crisis. Since I'm not terribly spontaneous, I have an amazing, beautiful wife and six great kids, my mid-life crisis needed to be something out of the norm.
I thought about getting a motorcycle, but my family seems to think I lack the proper coordination and that it might end very badly for me if I tried that. Then it dawned on me – what I wanted to learn how to do was play the guitar. I have been playing the piano since I was about six, I knew music theory and I played in bands in high school; but what I really wanted to do was learn the guitar.
I found my goal, and set upon my journey with iPad 2 in hand to start my adventure. The first thing I needed to do was buy a guitar. I fired up my eBay app to see if I could get a good used one. When nothing jumped out at me, I launched the PriceGrabber app and looked for a guitar that got a great write up in Guitarist Magazine that I had just read using iOS 5's Newsstand.
PriceGrabber - Free - Download Now
I ordered my new guitar and started looking for apps to teach me how to use it. I was very surprised that when I did a search for "Guitar" in the App Store, I found over 800 iPad apps and close to 2000 iPhone apps. Where to start? I narrowed my search to "Beginner Guitar" to narrow the field a bit. Pay dirt!
Beginner Guitar Songs - Free - Download now
I found Beginner Guitar Songs from GuitarJamz.com. Marty Schwartz, who is an amazing guitar teacher, showed me how to hold the guitar, how to hold the pick, basic strumming patterns and then introduced easy chords to learn. I quickly progressed through the Beginner Lesson Series and advanced to Important Guitar Chords. After an afternoon, I could play an E minor, A major, D major, G major, E major, A minor and C major chords –not bad for the first day.
The next morning of my first weekend with a guitar, I fired up the Beginner Guitar app again and went through the Strumming Patterns and tried to learn some songs from the Easy Guitar Songs section. This was so much fun and I could really see some progress.
One thing that Marty did mention in the lessons was keeping your guitar in tune. I had forgotten about that. I touched base with some musician friends and read up on line. It seems that the "purists" like to use a tuning fork, the "realists" like to use an analog chromatic tuner and the "techies" like the digital chromatic tuner. I just couldn't see dropping close to a hundred bucks on a tuner when I knew there must be "…an app for that." Back to the App Store – this time searching for Guitar Tuner. I came across many options, but I settled on Cleartune Chromatic Tuner. For $3.99, I figured it would be worth a shot and it is great. Play a note on the guitar and the "analog looking" dial shows you how far off from the actual note you are. I just tuned my strings and kept plucking and tuning until the guitar was in perfect tune.

Now I was ready to learn more chords – I had about seven under my belt and I wanted more. I found the Howcast Guitar Lessons app and found over 140 video lessons – mostly chords and progressions. I spend the better part of the day learning more chords. I continued each day; adding a new chord and then reviewing the ones I had learned. By the end of the first week I had about 10 chords I was comfortable with. By the end of the second week, I had about fifteen I could remember and play. The Howcast app also taught me how to play scales and I learned the Pentatonic scales and the Blues scale and felt like I was ready to dive into some music.

I so enjoyed the GuitarJamz app that I looked for more stuff from Marty Schwartz and found Blues Licks, Solo Guitar and 100 Lessons and I downloaded all those apps. I then saw that in addition to the apps and the website, Marty had hundreds of lessons for free on his YouTube channel. I watched, learned and experimented to see what I could do. I had to remember, I was only a little over two weeks into my new hobby.
What I learned was that some of my favorite classic rock songs were pretty easy. America's "Horse With No Name" – two chords. The Beatles' "Let it Be" – four chords. Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" – four chords. I could do this.
Over the next few weeks – and now after about four months – I have been watching YouTube videos, using the Chromatic Tuner app and downloading guitar sheet music via the Songsterr Plus app. The guitar learning apps showed me how to read guitar tablature and chord diagrams – so I can do that as well.

As I write this, I have just learned the guitar solo to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" – something I never envisioned I would be doing four months into learning how to play the guitar. Now, I still need lots of work and I'm sure my technique needs improving. Thanks to a Valentine's present for my first "in-person" guitar lesson, I hope to work on those things and more. However, the reality is that I really did learn how to play the guitar using my iPad.

I am attempting to learn violin... Not as many apps for that though... I did find clear tune as well, it was a great purchase!
Thanks for the write-up, learning guitar has been one of my goals too, but it's all about setting aside the time (which I haven't done yet) and actually sitting down and do it.
Good stuff! I started several years ago at age 25. Which, as I'm sure you know, is pretty old when it comes to taking up the guitar. I'm still pretty terrible (I'd imagine my neighbors could attest to that) but its been a fun learning process. I'd like to recommend ultimate guitar's "Tabs" app and Guitarworld's "Lick of the Day" is a novelty but neat nonetheless.
Wow man starting to learn at 25 ... that is old.
Wish I was 25 though ... I started last year when I was 79 ... now that is old
sorry forgot to add that I started learning using Ipad Irog with Amplitude and of course videos including Marty Schwartz and still use them all and still learning something new every day.

I'm learning to play guitar through a combination of my iPad, my iPhone, and Rocksmith on my Xbox 360. Rocksmith is AWESOME! I also got an Apogee Jam and with GarageBand on my iPhone and iPad I've got plenty of guitar amps and stomp boxes plus a recorder and all the backing instruments! Apple is really making it easy and fun!

I also have been learning to play the guitar using my iPhone. Gibson´s StudioShare gives you a very good tuner for free. I also invested on an iRig and its a great companion to my guitar. Mine is an electric/acoustic, to Taylor EQ with the iRig works well. Scale Wizard and Chordmaster are also must haves if you really want to know your guitar.
Started learning to play a few songs on the piano with The Piano Guy apps, then bought a few books thru the Amazon app.
I've been learning to play guitar with my iPhone and iPad as well. I've really learned the fretboard notes well and triad chords with Guitar Fretboard Addict. I've been learning guitar songs with Ultimate Guitar and Guitar Pro. I like recording songs with Garageband.

Comments about Supergirl Adult Womens Costume:
The quality of the costume is immediately obvious when you try this on. As soon as I put it on, I could tell it was made of good fabric and well put together. (I sew quite a bit and know good materials) I am very short and have a very short torso, so the length was a little longer than I had hoped for, but I was able to alter it easily enough to solve that issue. The sizing is very accurate, which is unusual for costumes which generally run small. This is not the case here. If you wear an 8 like I do, buy the small, not the medium. I had to take up 4 inches in the bodice to make the medium fit properly. My only complaint about it would be the boot covers. These are not constructed well for covering any shoe as there is only one elastic strap that is meant to go under the shoe at the arch of the foot. The strap is long enough to go over a mens workboot and still have room, so it is impossible to make it stay in place. I also remedied this problem by making a faux bottom for the boot cover and basically creating a slip on boot that fits right over my shoes. It worked out perfectly!! I will wear it for years to come.

Petaluma Health Center gears up for influx of patients
Published: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:27 a.m.
Just one year from the full implementation of federal health-insurance changes known as "Obamacare," the Petaluma Health Center is gearing up for as many as 5,000 new patients in the coming years.
The health center, which last year moved into a new 53,000-square-foot facility on North McDowell Boulevard, has recently hired five new health-care providers, including two medical doctors, a psychologist and two physician assistants.
It's the latest growth spurt for the health center as it prepares for thousands of newly insured patients under President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"We're busy, we have a lot of demand. With the Affordable Care Act, we're anticipating quite a bit of growth in the next few years," said Jeanne Zabout, the health center's chief clinical operations officer.
The recent hires have "filled out" medical services currently being provided at the health center, said Kathie Powell, the health center's CEO. Meanwhile, the health center building's northwest corner sits empty, ready to accommodate future expansion.
Like many health centers in the North Coast and across the country, the Petaluma Health Center has seen rapid growth in recent years. The new clinic itself was partly funded with a $9 million grant from the Affordable Care Act.
With Obama's return to the White House for a second term after winning the Nov. 6 election, the threat of a possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act has faded. In states where the law will be fully implemented, health-care officials and professionals are getting ready for a flood of newly insured patients.
Under the Affordable Care Act, $1.5 billion is being targeted for new construction and renovation projects at health centers, while another $9.5 billion is going to expanding medical services over five years.
One of the main goals of the new health-care law is to help transform the medical industry from one that simply profits from illness to one that promotes health, prevention and wellness. For example, the new system will reward programs that reduce costly hospital re-admissions.
One of the health center's doctors is Dr. Jose Chibras, an internal-medicine doctor with extensive experience working with chronically ill patients. Chibras, formerly the CEO of a network of clinics that covered Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties, said he was extremely impressed with Petaluma's "patient-centered" model.
"They're really on the forefront of health-care reform," Chibras said this week.
Chibras will be working with a team of health-care professionals in one of four medical pods. The teams, which will closely track a patient's medical progress, include a doctor, a nurse, a medical assistant and a referral coordinator.
Their work is supported by a "patient navigator," a type of social worker that does significant community outreach to ensure a patient's needs are met.
"My job is to see a patient who's had a stroke and to prevent a second stroke," Chibras said.
The design and layout of the new facility make it easy for medical staff to communicate with each other and for patients to "flow" from one medical station to the next.
There are two other new doctors at the center. Dr. Carlin Chi, a family-practice physician, previously worked in San Mateo County. Chi is a Harvard Medical School graduate who did her medical residency at UCSF. Dr. Todd Fennimore, a geropsychologist, specializes in mental health issues related to older patients. He teaches geropsychology at Sonoma State University.

A woman who was called a hard worker, a dedicated mother and an enthusiastic student was honored with a memorial service at the Glasgow campus of Western Kentucky University, the same place where she was found dead one week ago.
The family of Trina Lawson, 36, of Glasgow, was among a crowd that filled the library at WKU-Glasgow on Thursday, sharing in the stories of the non-traditional student in her second year majoring in social work.
"She could see where she had come from and was proud to be taking an active role in changing the lives of her children," said Van Robarts, quoting one of Lawson's teachers at WKU.
Trina Lawson was found in the first-floor bathroom of the school on Oct. 19. The school was evacuated and classes were cancelled for the day. An autopsy conducted Oct. 20 ruled out trauma as a cause of her death, but Barren County Coroner Mike Swift said it would be four to six weeks before the full report from the State Medical Examiner's Office would be available, which would determine the cause of death.
Lawson had to overcome challenges since the beginning of her life, when she was born weighing 2 pounds, 3 ounces, according to her mother, Roberta Eich. But through the adversity, Lawson persevered, Eich said.
"She got a GED and went further in life than anyone I've ever known," Eich said after the memorial service. "She loved everybody and was always willing to take anyone in."
Her best friend of 32 years, Angie Camp, flew in from the Seattle, Wash., area, where Lawson's life began, for the funeral services and the memorial. She remembered many sides of Lawson.
"She had a little bit of a devil inside, but she was kind and compassionate,"

2008 Ford Escape
trilakesgirl Posts: 1Dont buy one! I have one and the transmission is crap! It went out at 71k miles, then the engine had problems with valves right after and the motor went out, so the entire drivetrain was gone right after the warrenty of 70k, ford didnt try to help in the least, you better run as fast as you can away from the escape and Ford! I took perfect care / maintence on it. Worst mistake I ever made! All your transmission shops and such are FULL of escapes with constant repairs to motor and tranny!
you bought it new, as soon as your 70,00 mile warranty ended you had the transmission go out and then valve problems- suppose you were the only driver and you drove it like you intended to keep it for more years
I have an 08 Escape, 4WD, V6, it's been a superb vehicle- I usually get 31.7mpg on the hwy
I got a good deal from the same dealer on a 2009 Escape, 4WD, V6-
so- basically I have 2 2008 Escapes- I wouldn't call them tough off road vehicles- but for most who buy them that treat them properly they are hard to beat
If anyone who knows takes a look at the transmisson cooler you might understand why Ford did a recall- one wouldn't call it rugged
had to make a 57 mile run to pick up a hot water heater from Sears
loaded it up- this nice fellow said "nice Escape, I've been looking at buying one, want to sell yours"
well now-
So I said make me a good offer- he said he'd check Kelly Blue Book- I handed him my business card- call me with a good offer- you can drive this if you're serious
he asked about the two things- Scan Gauge and the other-
I said the Scan Gauge shows me how to get 31.7+ mpg
the other is a computer performance chip that woke up the engine
I turned the ignition on- UG showed 29.2 average mpg- odomiter showed 112 miles
he said- is it accurate
I said- we can go out on that hwy over there- check the calibration- then drive a couple miles-
It doesn't lie
I'd not even cleaned the vehicle, he looked it over pretty good, inside and out
quote "I'll check Kelly Blue Book and call you"
I said don't unless you are serious

Clinton sets secretary of State travel record
- By Eric Katz
- July 17, 2012
- Leave a comment
When Hillary Clinton's plane touched down in Helsinki in late June, she accomplished something no previous secretary of State ever has.
Finland was the 99th country Clinton had visited as the nation's top diplomat, breaking the previous record of 98 held by Madeline Albright, according to the Associated Press.
In her latest two-week, nine-nation trip, Clinton made stops in Laos and Mongolia, bringing the secretary's visit total past the century mark.
Clinton has traveled for 351 days throughout her tenure, amassing 843,839 miles in the air, according to AP, although these totals are not records.
All this travel may have taken its toll, as Clinton insists she will step down from her post if President Obama is reelected.

Closing Hanover St.: Not a 'free market' move
If aldermen want to stick to free market principles, they will leave the street open and resist the temptation to direct patrons to any particular businesses. If they want to meddle in the market, then there is a far better way than shutting down a public street. They can arrange for more festivals or "block parties" in Veterans Park. Although that favors downtown restaurants over others, at least it leaves public thoroughfares open to traffic, draws people from outside the city and does not run the risk of putting some downtown restaurants out of business.

A 20-minute exposure during moonrise from the rooftop of the tallest building in the courtyard of the Impossible City. This small fake town at Fort Ord was built for military training. All areas are visible from nearby buildings, which makes getting from point A to point B almost impossible.
4 thoughts on "Night photography: Impossible City rooftop moonrise"
I believe that was the "hotel" you were on top of. It has a mock "registration desk" just inside the entrance. The building across to the left is the "school" and across to the right is the "City Hall" (which is where I found a fake IED).
Nice one Joe (a.k.a. Ethan Hunt) looking forward to see full set:)

South Willamette
Valley Wine Country Services
Oregon Wineries & Wine Regions
The Willamette Valley Appellation,
its sub appellations and its Wineries
Navigating the regions - An interactive set
of comprehensive maps
Natural boundaries and the Willamette River create the 100-mile
long, 60-mile wide Willamette Valley, home to approximately
400 Oregon wineries and many more wine
shops and wine bars. Coolest of Oregon's wine
regions, this elongated, "V"-shaped Valley is bordered to the north by
the Columbia River, to
the south by the Calapooya Mountains (south of Eugene), to the east by
the Cascade Mountain foothills, and to the west by Oregon's Coast Range.
to be a cool, marginal wine-growing region, the Willamette Valley's
climate is suited to a narrower range of wine grape varieties than many
other American wine regions. Its average temperatures are cooler
than 75% of Washington's wine growing areas... not surprisingly, since
almost all Oregon wineries are located to the west -- the "wet side" --
of the Cascade Mountains, while most Washington wineries are
located to the east of the range. The Valley's climate is
particularly well matched to the early-ripening Pinot noir grape, for
which Oregon wineries in the region are strongly identified.
When the Willamette Valley AVA was first authorized 1984, its geographic
description included some 3.3 million acres! Twenty years later,
winemakers and wine growers succeeded in submitting applications for
approval of six sub-regions within the Willamette Valley, to better
describe micro climates proven over the years to be distinctly suited
for the growing of wine grapes. McMinnville Foothills, Dundee
Hills, Ribbon Ridge,
Yamhill-Carlton, Eola-Amity Hills
and the Chehalem Mountain were all authorized as official American
Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in 2005 and 2006.
Most of the
wine grapes grown in the Willamette Valley come from vineyards
located on bench-land hillsides in the western portion of the
Valley. To its north, the Willamette Valley includes
Oregon's largest city, the beautiful Portland, Oregon, providing
travelers a wide variety of amenities while visiting this
beautiful wine country and the many local Oregon wineries.
Northwest organizes the huge Willamette Valley AVA/appellation
into three general sections -
North, South
Additionally, our mapping system for the
North Willamette Valley - between Portland and Salem, west of
the I-5 corridor - consists of a network of maps, featuring the six
sub-appellations of that area, authorized as individual AVAs (American
Viticultural Areas); each of these lies entirely within the Willamette
Valley AVA. More detailed maps - including winery names, tasting
room hours and map locations - are linked to from the map below.

Play of the Day -- The pre- and post-debate chatter

Due to filming their late-nights shows prior to the presidential debate yet airing the shows after the debate, the late-nights hosts existed in a bizarre time warp yesterday.
Conan spoke about what Mitt Romney was planning to do after he had already done it and the rest of the late-night hosts tried to avoid speculating on the debate while acknowledging that it already occurred.
Today's Must See Moment -- Fast forward to 0:50 to hear pundits speculate about whether this debate, or debates in general, matter on a show that aired after a debate that most pundits say benefited Mitt Romney.

Mike Hess, 56, of Edmonds, Wash., a wrestling referee, coach and leader, passed away at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas on May 9. Hess was active in all aspects of wrestling in the state of Washington and was an active leader within USA Wrestling. He made a major impact on the sport of wrestling on many levels.
Mike collapsed in the early morning of April 22 after returning from a late dinner. He was in Las Vegas to participate as a referee in the U.S. National Wrestling Championships that weekend. He was taken to the hospital and after many tests, it was found he had an infection which caused his collapse. The infection settled in his lungs and despite the best efforts of the hospital staff, led to his passing.
Mike was born on July 21, 1943, in Lakehurst, New Jersey and his family moved west to Moses Lake, Washington where he attended high school. He graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1965 and was a letter winner in wrestling. He began his teaching career in Edmonds, Wash. the same year and became the head wrestling coach at Edmonds High School in 1968. He coached and taught for 34 years at Edmonds High and then Edmonds-Woodway High.
During his coaching tenure, he coached several state champions and several highly ranked teams. He served a four year term as President of the Washington Wrestling Coaches Association and was active with the State Athletic Association. He was instrumental in helping wrestling grow at the high school level throughout the state of Washington.
In the early 1970's, Mike realized the benefits of international style competition and he began to promote freestyle wrestling. This led to him becoming an international referee and he helped found the Washington Wrestling Federation. His efforts helped develop a strong program in the Northwest.
Mike attained a USA Category 1E and a FILA Category 1 while officiating at every level of competition. His knowledge and ability helped train many young officials.
Within the Washington Federation, Mike served as Cultural Exchange Director and organized many trips for Washington wrestlers to foreign countries like Japan and Russia. These trips provided valuable cultural experiences for those who went on the trips.
In 1990, Mike served as Competition Director for Wrestling at the Seattle Goodwill Games which saw the USA defeat Russia in the title match. This match was one of the highlights of the Games.
In 1996 Mike served as the Director of Staging for wrestling at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. He was the man who sent the athletes to the mats and kept a smooth flow throughout the event.
He and former University of Washington wrestling coach Jim Smith co-chaired a committee of wrestling enthusiasts who are pushing to have the sport reinstated at Washington and Washington State.
As a teacher Mike again, "did it all," teaching every history course in the department at Edmonds High School at one time or another. He also served as Department Head for several years while teaching classes in Japanese and Russian History.
He said that his greatest achievement was not the state champions but the graduates his teams produced. His reward for coaching was watching the success of the kids after high school as they became leaders in the community.
Mike is survived by his daughters and their husbands, Erica and Sam Hobos of Palo Alto, CA.; Trina and Eric Myklebust of Seattle; and his sister and her husband, Susan and Vince Lorrain of Bellevue, Wash.
A Memorial Service was held on May 16, at the Westgate Chapel in Edmonds, Wash., followed by a reception at Edmonds Woodway High School.
The family has asked the instead of flowers, donations be made to: Mike Hess Memorial Scholarship Fund, C/O Trina Mykelbust, 4324 NE 55th St., Seattle, WA 98105.

Although happy Ferrari's windtunnel data was in line with their Jerez findings, Stefano Domenicali isn't making predictions about F1's pecking order.
Ferrari had, in their own words, a "solid" start to pre-season testing with Fernando Alonso and the returning Kimi Raikkonen covering 251 laps over the four days.
That put Ferrari second on the list of most laps covered which Mercedes topped with 309 while McLaren were third with 245.
As for lap times, Raikkonen's 1:24.812 put him fifth fastest for the week while Alonso was seventh quickest with a 1:25.495. McLaren's Kevin Magnussen set the pace with a 1:23.276.
"These were four very demanding and important days to give us something to work on over the coming days in Maranello," Domenicali told the Ferrari website.
"The technical parameters of the F14T, as well as the aerodynamic validation we saw on track, match our expectations and provide a solid starting point, which we must now exploit as much as possible.
"In Jerez, we concentrated our efforts on fine tuning the new systems to ensure that all the components that make up the new power unit were working as well as possible and the team was focused on its tasks.
"I was also very pleased to see, even if was hardly a surprise, how our drivers worked in harmony and that they have already provided excellent feedback relating to the development of the car."
And although happy with the initial running, the Ferrari team boss wasn't willing to make any predictions about where the Scuderia may be compared to their rivals.
"We can't evaluate performance levels at the moment, neither that of the F14 T, nor those of our rivals," he added.
"The important thing is to do as many laps as possible to give our engineers the data they need to continue with the development of the car.
"It would be premature to make any precise evaluations.
"What counts for more is to have clear ideas on what we must do now and on the direction to take, so that we arrive in Melbourne in the best possible shape."

Attention fellow Nickelbackians
Hey guys, Poss here, again..
Time to update the old blog again.
Not much has happened. Been busy with uni stuff. I'm doing a fitness program and I've been listening to NB alot (:
My chemical romance has broken up and Fall Out Boy has gotten back together again. That's old news though. My best friend does music concerts in qld, Logan city area.

A look at how Bob McKenzie's final draft rankings compare to the NHL Numbers consensus and to the work I've done previously finding historical comparables.
I understand that +/- is a dirty word. After all, it's counted in a goofy way and goal events are rare enough in hockey that the results are often not a particularly good indication of skills....
A look at which players performed similarly to Adam Erne in the CHL before being drafted.
With three draft picks in the first 36 of the NHL Entry Draft, Canadiens scouting guru Trevor Timmins has a lot of options when targeting players to add to the Canadiens' prospect pool. Here's a...

North Carolina Dance Theatre and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Honor Dance Educator, Dance Champion and Dance Student
2011 Salute to Educators Award Winners:
Dance Educator of the Year: Debbie Gresham
Debbie Gresham received a degree in dance education from the University of North Carolina Charlotte and has been a dance educator in the North Carolina School System for 16 years. She earned her National Board Certification in 2009. Gresham has been teaching dance at Bradley Middle School for the past 4 years. She has grown the dance program to serve over 800 students in the school, resulting in the need to hire a second full time dance teacher.
Greham has served as a cooperating teacher for seven student teachers from UNC Charlotte. She is the fine arts department chair at Bradley and coaches the 7th grade Dance Team and 7th grade all boys Dance Crew. This year her dance students have performed at Bobcat's games, Festival in the Park, Steam/ The CMS Parent University Event, numerous community events, the Angels of 97 Fundraiser Event and Bradley's Habitat for Humanity Kickoff Rally.Gresham's dance students led the way with the 2010 "Charlotte, Get Your Move On" health initiative and have been selected as an official school for Michelle Obama's 2011 "LETS MOVE" health campaign to fight childhood obesity. Twelve students from the dance program have been invited to perform at the Department of Education, in Washington, D.C., on May 2, 2011.
Dance Champion of the Year: Liz Boulware
Liz Boulware, from Spring Lake N.J., graduated from Wake Forest in 1991 and has lived in Charlotte ever since. Growing up the Nutcracker was part of her families' Christmas tradition; most notably, her grandmother took her to the Lincoln Center to see a performance.
Boulware and her husband Scott have two children: Camille, age 10, and Marin, age 7. Both of her children attend Eastover Elementary and take dance classes at NC Dance Theatre School of Dance. Camille has performed in the Nutcracker for 3 years.
As members of Dilworth United Methodist Church, Boulware became acquainted with the literacy coordinator at Reid Park Elementary and her church women's circle began volunteering at Reid Park. She has tutored for 5 years and now serves as the liaison between her church and Reid Park. With the leadership of Mary Sturge, the School's principal, Boulware and her church group now provides tutoring, teacher support, uniforms, mentors, volunteers and financial support for programs like field trips.
Two years ago the group decided a performance of NC Dance Theatre's Nutcracker would be an excellent cultural arts activity for the 2nd Graders at Reid Park. Members of the United Methodist Women helped support the trip. Boulware attended the performance and sat among the 2nd graders. "You can imagine what happened when the curtain went up," said Boulware. "This was definitely my 'Christmas Moment'."
This past December the Boulware's, with support from their family, funded the 2nd Graders' trip to Nutcracker. "Because of our personal involvement with NC Dance Theatre and Camille's participation in the ballet, we decided this past December that as a family, we would support the trip as a Christmas gift to ourselves," said Boulware. "Both Scott and I attended with the 2nd grade. They sat front and center and I am proud to say that their behavior was the best of any school group there!"
Dance Student of the Year: Ryan Clawson
Ryan Clawson, 18, was born in Okinawa, Japan, and moved throughout the U.S. growing up. He started dancing jazz and tap in 2008 and began gymnastics training in 2009. Clawson's ballet training began in the summer of 2010 at the NC Dance Theatre School of Dance.
Clawson is a student at Northwest School of the Arts and says his English teacher, Mrs. Chancey, has been most influential on him this year. "She not only teaches English, she has taught me how to mature as a person," said Clawson.
This year Clawson participated in a NC Dance Theatre Dance-A-Story Program for preschoolers at Barnes & Noble at SouthPark. He also had fun serving as the Nutcracker mascot for Dance Theatre's Nutcracker Educational Performance for school children at the Belk Theater.
"I love dancing and performing because it's something that makes me happy," said Clawson. "Throughout my life I have never found anything that makes me feel as I do when I'm dancing."
About the Salute to Educators Awards
"North Carolina Dance Theatre is fortunate to work in partnership with a school system with strong dance education programs, and we are happy to celebrate the excellent work being done in our community. We hope this salute helps to foster increased awareness, promote continual development and celebrate dance programs, students and arts advocates in the CMS school system," said April Berry, director of education and outreach for NC Dance Theatre.NC Dance Theatre's Department of Education and Outreach provides programs that bridge the community with the cultural arts. By offering special school performances, dance residency programs at schools, teacher workshops, behind the scenes tours and community dance workshops, NC Dance Theatre gives students and teachers opportunities to learn about dance as an art form.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams was supposed to practice today at Arizona State, but he missed his second straight session with an ankle injury.
Bills coach Chan Gailey didn't sound concerned about Williams' status for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
"It's not the same one he had the surgery on," Gailey said, referring to the injury that ended Williams' 2011 season after five games. "We're just resting him. We think it won't be an issue for Sunday."
Reserve offensive lineman Chad Rinehart, expected to start in place of injured right guard Kraig Urbik, was healthy enough to practice Thursday in a limited capacity. Rinehart has been dealing with a calf injury that prevented him from finishing last Sunday's game in San Francisco and was unable to practice Wednesday.
Gailey said seeing Rinehart on the field Thursday "bodes well. We'll probably rest him [Friday], but we wanted to see what he had, and it was encouraging."
Bills center Eric Wood (foot) and safety Jairus Byrd (chest) each were limited for a second straight day but are expected to play Sunday.
On the Arizona side, cornerback Michael Adams (hamstring), linebacker Quentin Groves (hamstring), fullback Anthony Sherman (knee), cornerback Greg Toler (hamstring) and linebacker Reggie Walker (head) all did not practice for a second straight day.
All-Pro defensive tackle Darnell Dockett led a list of four players who were limited in practice for the Cardinals. Dockett is coming back from a hamstring injury. The others were tight end Jim Dray (knee), tight end Todd Heap (knee) and linebacker O'Brien Schofield (knee).
Running back LaRod Stephens-Howling, who has missed the past two games with a hip injury, practiced fully Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Others practicing fully for Arizona were running back William Powell (head), quarterback John Skelton (ankle) and guard Adam Snyder (elbow).

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The chasm between the Torah and John Wesley's theology was almost great enough to prevent the very existence of Jane Whitmore and Andrea Feinberg.
The daughters of the late Dr. Edward and Gretchen Siegel, the sisters grew up at 44 Broad St. in Plattsburgh and graduated in 1964 and 1968, respectively, from Plattsburgh High School.
Both have fond memories of the stucco residence their parents moved to after four years of living first at 215 South Catherine St.
The Siegels relocated from New York City when the doctor learned of an opening for an eye, ear and nose specialist at Champlain Valley Hospital. A Dr. Schlesinger, whom Jane thinks served in Panama with her Army officer parents, told them about the post.
"My dad worked at the Eye and Ear Hospital in New York City," said Jane, who lives in Pittsburgh. "They hated it. Mom hated it. When the Plattsburgh thing opened up, I was 2 when we moved there in 1948."
Six years earlier, on the evening of Jan. 8, 1942, Gretchen and Edward met on the USAT Shawnee, a troop ship, en route to Panama.
Both were avid diarists and letter writers and left a rich cache from which their daughters reveal their parents' tumultuous and faith-crossed love story in "Memoirs of a Wartime Romance: The Story of Mr. Bops and Miss Boo," forthcoming by Trafford Publishing.
In Gretchen's diary, dated Jan. 9, she writes: "My introduction to Lt. Edward Siegel, of the evening before, culminated into a breakfast date at 8 a.m. From then on, we spent many happy hours together."
"They called each other variations of Mr. Bops and Bopsie," Jane said. "He signs his letters Mr. Bops. She signs her letters from Miss Boo. It came from her maiden name."
Mr. Bops may reference be-bop, as Edward was a pianist.
He was the son of Jacob "Jack" and Ida Siegel, Orthodox Jews, of Poughkeepsie. Jacob was a shopkeeper at the People's Store, a clothing store.
Edward received his undergraduate degree from Cornell University, his master's at the University of Pennsylvania and his medical degree from the University of Maryland.
"He had been in ROTC and had been stationed in Plattsburgh when they went to summer camp on the old base," Jane said of her father. "That was his original connection to Plattsburgh. My father had one brother, named Martin, (who) was a dentist and lived in Poughkeepsie."
In May of 1941, Edward was put on active duty and stationed at the hospital at Plattsburgh Barracks.
The middle child of Reuben and Ida Boody, Gretchen grew up on a farm in Hudson, Wis., and was raised Methodist.
"Her father milked cows by hand," Jane said. "They were poor. She was born in 1913. In the Depression, my grandfather almost lost his farm. She went to nursing school in Madison. She trained at Cook County and worked in Chicago."
Gretchen wrote in her 20s: "I had dated everybody worth dating in Madison, and I was bored."
The petite and very slender blonde signed up with the army and navy and vowed to go with whichever branch came first. The Army bested the Navy, so Gretchen trained in the Army Nurse Corps at Fort Bragg, N.C.
"The war broke out," Jane said. "She was in the service, and, therefore, had to stay."
That fateful occurrence led to the couple meeting aboard the Shawnee, where Gretchen was Edward's second date of the evening.
"Both were stationed there (Panama) at the hospital," Jane said. "My mother worked in his clinic at the hospital. They were totally exclusive for two and a half years. They didn't date anyone else.
"My father never told his parents about this relationship. He said to my mother, 'This relationship can never be. I can't marry someone who isn't Jewish.'"
Email Robin Caudell:
This three-part series chronicles the tumultuous, faith-crossed love affair between U.S. Army Lt. Edward Siegel, an Orthodox Jew, and 2nd Lt. Gretchen Boody, a Methodist, during World War II. The couple spent many years in Plattsburgh.
Their story unfurls in "Memoirs of a War Time Romance: The Story of Mr. Bops and Miss Boo," edited by their daughters, Jane Whitmore and Andrea Feinberg, and forthcoming by Trafford Publishing.
Look for the second installment, "Panama Connection," in the newspaper next Wednesday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two drivers were hospitalized after a crash in south Nashville on Thursday night.
Police said 38-year-old Kevin Anderson was driving a Toyota Corolla north on Nolensville Pike around 10:15 p.m. when he was struck by a Honda CRV driven by 55-year-old Ae Yim, who was traveling west on Brewer Drive.
Anderson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, and Yim were both taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Anderson was listed in critical condition, while Yim was in stable condition.
Police said the preliminary contributing factor to the crash is failure to yield on the part of Yim.
They also said there was evidence on the scene of alcohol consumption by Anderson, who was apparently driving on three tires. Toxicology testing will be conducted.

Italy is the latest country to be in the cross hairs of investors alarmed by Europe's growing debt crisis. In many ways, Italy's financial situation is quite healthy. But it is being harmed by severe debt problems in neighboring countries and by the inability of European policymakers to act forcefully and in unison.

State officials, responding to a Belmont resident's complaint, this month tested his well and three others in another neighborhood near Duke's Allen power plant on Lake Wylie.
They don't expect to find ash contamination, but results haven't been returned.
In another Belmont neighborhood, Wildlife Road, some residents worry about the long-term effects of an ash pit that's been their close neighbor for four decades. It's just across the street but is now closed and covered by soil and grass.
"Of course it bothers me, but we've lived here 40 years and what can you do about it?" said Sandra Avery.
Her neighbor, Dale Beck, said Duke announced plans for the ash pond two months after he bought his small brick ranch house in 1971. Gray water steadily filled what had been a bass pond, he said, eventually lapping about 100 feet from his house.
"I didn't do my checking," said Beck, 68. "Duke said as long as the cove is 50 feet from your property, there's nothing you can do."
Duke nor the state has offered to test his well, he said. Students working with the advocacy group Appalachian Voices sampled it last summer and found low levels of iron and manganese, as well as zinc and lead that were below groundwater standards.
Duke said it monitors the groundwater around the basin and has not seen any indication that contamination has reached the neighborhood.
But Beck wants Duke to remove the ash.
"That over there can't be healthy," he said, gesturing across the street. "You'd like to see Duke Energy take action on their own. My point is, even if it's not in my lifetime, something needs to be done." Bruce Henderson
