Tickets can be purchased from any member of Otyokwa or Excelsior or at the door. Proceeds will go to the Heart Fund. Tuition Hikes Being Argued A tuition raise is currently being debated by the Utah State Legislature which could affect Weber students. Several ideas have been launched which would increase Weber student tuition fees. One proposal would increase tuition $70 per year for all students; another would levy an additional $60 per year to out of state students only. One of the bigger problems facing both the college and the administration this year is the budget appropriation, which has not yet been set. If not enough funds are appropriated this year, a tuition hike might still be in the agenda for the 1969-70 school year. Traditionally, Weber has held to the minimum tuition allowed by state law. This presently amounts to $70 per quarter for full time students who are residents. The remaining portion of fees are applied to student activities, such as athletics, unions building, etc. The Orchesis Dance Concert will be presented Feb. 27 and March 1st at 8 p.m. and Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Little Theatre. This program is under the direction of Sharon Evans. She stated, "The concert is almost entirely student created and performed.

Moose on a waterbed? That sounds almost as strange as a chimpanzee riding on a Segway! But it's real, and it's all in the name of comfort.
The Minnesota Zoo's moose are now enjoying waterbeds in their holding areas as part of a research study on heat stress.
"Moose are traditionally bedded on rubber mats topped with straw in the zoo holding
area," said Dr. Nick McCann, Minnesota Zoo conservation biologist and author of the heat stress study. "The rubber mats may be insulating the moose -- they may not allow heat to be conducted away from their bodies to the ground below."
So, with water being a good conductor, zoo staff and researchers are looking to see if the waterbed will be better than the rubber mat at conducting the heat.
Two of the zoo's five holding area stalls were outfitted with waterbeds from Wisconsin-based Advanced Comfort Technology. The moose are rotated through the holding area stalls each day where data are collected from the moose on the waterbed and the moose on the rubber mat.
"When they are in the holding area, we are trying to make them as comfortable as
possible," said McCann. The four moose are placed in the holding area so that the zookeeping staff can monitor their health and behavior, feed them, and ensure nighttime security. Keeping them cool is key to helping keep them comfortable.
DCC said its waterbeds have been proven to increase the comfort of dairy cows since they were implemented a decade ago.
Preliminary results of the moose study will be ready this winter.

|History of the Savannah Goat
The Savannah Goat in South Africa:
Preserving a Proud Heritage
Brian Payne, Dr. Frank Pinkerton
Grapeland, Texas, January 19, 2003
The Savannah goat in South Africa was first recognized as a distinct breed with the formation of the Savannah Goat
Breeders Society on November 21, 1993. At this time a Breed Standard was drawn up and the Society joined the South
African Studbook Association (Campbell, Origin and Development of Savannah Goats).
A common misconception in North America is that Savannahs are "white Boer goats". Nothing could be further from the
truth! Mr. Keith Ramsay, Registrar of Livestock Improvement in the South African National Department of Agriculture,
suggests that "the breed is phenotypically different to the Improved Boer Goat…my main criteria when I recommended
that they be recognized as a separate breed. Initial genetic distancing also supported this. The Savannah is a more compact
animal – shorter legs." (personal communication)
History scholars also suggest that the Savannah goat's origin is distinct from that of the Boer. The origin of "the Savannah
White Goats of Olierivier" is described in "The Indigenous Sheep and Goat Breeds of South Africa" by Dr. Quentin Peter
Campbell. Dr. Campbell was part of the development team as well as "the officer in charge" of the South African National
Mutton Sheep and Goat Performance Testing Scheme. South African Dorper sheep and Boer goat stud breeders have
recognized his contribution to the development of these fine breeds through his leadership of this program as well as his
academic and judging pursuits.
Dr. Campbell suggests that the Savannah probably developed from goats belonging to the Khosa people of the Ciskei and
Transkei of the Eastern Cape. "These indigenous goats were mostly white or roans or piebalds" while "the most accurate
description of the ancestors of the Boer Goat" was provided by Barrow (1801) who wrote that "near the Hartebees river in
the Northern Cape he encountered some Namaqua Hottentots who possessed a herd of small handsome goats that were
spotted like the leopard."
Dr. Campbell gives credit to this very early description of the indigenous ancestors of the modern Boer goat by referencing
the first edition of the South African Boer Goat Breeders' Association Journal (1959). In this issue; Mr. T.B. Jordaan, a
pioneer breeder, declared that "a big, robust, dapple-coloured male goat" was important in the development of the
Buffelsfontein stud. Dr. Campbell then suggests that this stud "influenced the development of the Boer Goat (breed) to a
marked extent."
Even though a breed's history is interesting and its appearance important in setting it apart from others of the species, the
key question for all goat ranchers to ask is: Why farm with Savannahs?
Dr. Campbell suggests the following reasons:
1) Savannah goats are hardy and adaptable with natural resistance against tick born diseases such as heartwater and
against other external parasites.
2) Since natural selection played a big role in the development of Savannah goats they are heat and drought resistant
and easily endure cold and rain as well. Fully pigmented skin provides protection from strong ultra-violet rays.
3) Savannah goats have relatively simple and low nutritional requirements and can survive and reproduce where other
small stock breeds can not exist. Savannah goats produce a higher net profit because of lower input costs.
4) Savannah goats breed year round, exhibit early sexual maturity and have long productive lives. Does aggressively
defend their kids and milk well. Kidding on pasture with no assistance and no need for bonding pens is to be expected.
5) Savannah goats require minimum handling and care. Range performance trials (Veld tests at Ellisras) indicated that
indigenous goats like the Savannah did not develop mouth or hoof problems as was the case with some Boer goats.
Overdeveloped or "overshot" lower jaws do not occur.
6) Savannah goats have been selected for rapid growth and good carcass conformation. Their pure white color makes
them much sought after for religious slaughter.
Savannah breeding, from Dr. Campbell's perspective, is fundamentally important because of the crucial role it plays in
indigenous breed preservation. On a global scale "indigenous genetic material is being swept away on a wave of breed
substitution and crossing" (J.P.Gibson, 1993, Animal Breeding has much to offer livestock productivity). The importance of
maintaining breeds with a unique ability to perform in harsh environments is pointed out by Dr. Laurie Hammond (1985),
director of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization as follows:
"Breeds of cattle, pigs and poultry, once the backbone of
farming economies in many countries, were being replaced by
a few super breeds which only performed in ideal conditions.
Irreplaceable genetic resources are being lost. Many of these
native breeds have maintained humans for more than 10,000
years. Their loss is not just a matter of heritage. It's very much
about our future".
The process of domestication and the critical importance of breeders and breed societies in shaping the appearance of the
animals that they tend is described by Valerie Porter (1996, Goats of the World):
"Domestication is not simply a matter of taming individual
animals…Domestication involves breeding in captivity for
several generations, so that human beings can select…the
traits within the species that are useful or pleasing to them – in
terms of behaviour, productivity and general appearance –
and can control such factors as where and when the animals
feed and where they live. That is to say, the animals become
dependent on…human beings…juvenile characteristics
persist into adulthood: the brain may be smaller, the
senses generally less acute as the dependence
increases….Thus, gradually, different types evolved for
different situations in various localities, formed as much by
the demands of humans as of the environment." (p.3 & 4)
It is this process of human intervention that created the Boer goat as we know it today:
"By means of selection white farmers have eliminated throat
tassels, speckled colour, dappled colour and the piebald
markings of the indigenous goats in the modern improved
Boer Goat….The spotted or speckled goats (skilder bokke)
were described by Barrow (1801)…When the goat farmers of
the Eastern Cape started improving the conformation and meat
producing capabilities of the Boer Goat they selected for a red-
head goat with a white body…As a result of this, indigenous
goats of other colours were eliminated or 'graded up' with red-
head Boer Goats."
From Dr. Campbell's perspective the association of this white body and red head with productivity lead to the virtual
extinction of most of South Africa's indigenous goats through the wide spread crossbreeding of indigenous goats with
improved Boer goats (and also with Angora goats):
"Eventually only a few flocks of speckled goats
survived….White as well as black farmers claim that the
speckled goats are better adapted to unfavourable extensive
Savannah grazing conditions than Boer Goats. They also
claim that the survival rate of 'Skilder' kids is higher than
that of improved Boer Goats. Perhaps extreme
environmental conditions will ensure the survival of this old
historic strain of goats." (Campbell, p.38)
Dr. Campbell's insistence on the critical importance of natural selection in the development of the Savannah breed, the
importance of private breeders in preserving the breed and the importance of the environment in dictating the breed
standards are illustrated in the following quotations from his 1995 publication, "The Indigenous Sheep and Goat Breeds of
South Africa".
"The indigenous white goat stud of Messrs DSU Cilliers and
Sons was started in approximately 1957 from a mixture of
colored indigenous ewes and a white ram….Selection was
aimed at breeding a white heat and parasite resistant
functionally efficient meat producing goat. These white
goats which are kept in a Savannah type camp close to the
Vaal river had to survive under extremely unfavourable
conditions….natural selection…..survival of the fittest,
played a big role in the development of these fertile easy
care heat and drought resistant animals." (p. 36)
"Three factors – temperature, humidity and light – rule supreme
and in South Africa they are generally stern masters who are
apt to go to extremes, and cause shocks to vegetation and
animal life. Sometimes these shocks are difficult to endure and
therefore indigenous animals are of a definite and
distinctive pattern… (a fundamental standard).
Characteristics and qualities… (of indigenous
game animals)…such as light-footedness, mobility, lively
posture, a short smooth glossy covering of hair…a roomy
loose, relatively thick skin and dark pigmentation; lean long,
shapely flat legs; a lean skull; strong large and well-developed
back, loins and buttock muscles; a slightly hanging rump – all
these are very definitely apparent". (citing Opperman, p.9,10)
In a video-taped interview with Dr. Campbell in South Africa (B. Payne, Bloemfontein, 1999), he further explains that the
essential difference between Boer goats and the less improved indigenous goats like the Savannah can be seen from specific
conformation traits. Dr. Campbell concurs with Keith Ramsay's contention that the Savannah goat is phenotypically
different from the Boer goat. Rather than criticizing the breed for its "slab sides and a tendency towards hockiness", Dr.
Campbell suggests that like the South African game animals, these are the conformation traits that nature had selected. He
further suggests that if we try to create too round a rib and an animal that is too wide and heavily muscled we "put at risk
the animal's adaptability. Their hardiness and survivability under unfavourable climactic conditions and their ability to
convert low quality browse into high quality red meat."
In short, Dr. Campbell states quite emphatically that the Savannah Breed Standard was created by observing survivor
animals in the field NOT by "sitting in a room around a table". The integrity of the Savannah breed; its distinct appearance
and unique history, is thus firmly tied through the Breed Standard to its proud South African heritage and the demands of
the South African environment. Clearly, preserving this heritage demands an association that adopts the South African
The Savannah Goat in North America:
A Proud Past; An Uncertain Future
Brian Payne, Dr. Frank Pinkerton,
Grapeland, Texas
January 19, 2003
Savannah goats were first imported to North America by Jurgen Schulz early in 1995. The Schulz family had been
engaged in the importation of exotic animals from Africa for many years and the surge of speculative interest in Boer goats
provided the incentive for this business venture. The Savannahs were a small part of a larger shipment of nearly 500
animals which included primarily Boer goats but also some Dorper sheep.
The entire shipment of animals entered the United States through the Truman Quarantine Station in the Florida Keys.
They were released later to a "USDA approved quarantine station near Goldthwaite, Texas" (Ranch and Rural Living,
May, 1995) in May of the same year. The Boer goats became identified as CODI-PCI animals within the American breed
registries and have contributed significantly to the development of the Boer goat in the United States.
Little is known about the production and sale of Savannah goats from the Schulz ranch in the three years following their
importation and quarantine. We do know however, that the entire herd of 34 goats was dispersed through the Kifaru
Exotics Sale Barn in Lampasas, Texas on December 5, 1998.
Almost all of the original South African imports of this pioneering period did not have pedigree information issued through
a central breed registry; an import permit, an embryo certificate, a South African stud number and a sire and dam was all
that was required for registry purposes. The authenticity of the imported livestock was primarily dependent on the stud
breeders' embryo production records, his reputation in the South African industry and his breeding records (pedigrees).
Reputation and records are still the core criteria in evaluating the authenticity of registered, purebred seed stock today.
However, most of the early pioneers in the Boer goat industry remember the phrase: "If it looks like a Boer …. It is a Boer!"
Many naïve investors bought white goats with a red head and thought they were purchasing a full blood animal. In other
words, in the absence of a credible, centralized registry and breeding records an "exotic goat" can sell for large sums of
money based on phenotype (appearance) alone!
Given the highly heritable nature of white as a color, small numbers of true Savannahs and a poorly organized group of
breeders, will we soon see a wave of white goats put forward as being authentic South African Savannahs?
The future development of the Savannah breed in North America has several serious challenges to overcome if it is to be
1) Identifying authentic Schulz foundation stock and their
offspring. This problem has been compounded by the fact that the original Schulz Savannahs were widely dispersed with
no central registry in place to track and record changes in ownership or to document the generations of kids produced from
the original foundation stock. The Pedigree International registry was not established until at least a year and a half after
the Kifaru dispersal (Goat Rancher, August 2000).
2) Preventing the potentially divisive development of two
classes of Savannahs. Original South African imports
(Schulz, Keri-Rose, DN Africa) with good documentation as
compared to poorly documented Schulz derivatives.
3) Most critically, maintaining the integrity of the breed by
setting up a registry that is backed by a DNA verification system in order to separate true descendents of authentic South
African Savannahs from white imposters. Setting up a registry is always a challenge, but in the case of the Savannah goat
in North America, it is like "closing the gate after the horses are already out"!
Clearly, a registry is only as good as the documentation provided by the participating breeders. Is it the registry's problem
if a new breed is introduced but there is no breed association in place to instruct the registrar on "proper documentation?"
Breed associations are critical to the success of a registry because it is the "association" that defines "foundation stock' and
sets the criteria for an animal's entry into the herd book. The association also defines the breed standard and creates the
rules for registry that further refines and develops the breed. Perhaps most importantly, however, the association unifies
breeders and sets ethical standards for conduct in the breeding and sale of purebred livestock.
4) Given the history outlined above, perhaps the most daunting challenge facing the Savannah breed today is to try
and build the trust and cooperation required for association development with a responsive and credible registry as its
If current Savannah goat breeders are able to overcome these serious impediments to breed recognition in North America,
the breed's proud South African history and the legacy of the initial Schulz importations and others will shine in North
America, just as the CODI-PCI name has shone in the Boer industry.

Jay Z's Bodyguard Sucks
He Failed In the Elevator
Beyonce's sister should never have ever come CLOSE to attacking Jay Z in that hotel elevator ... because the bodyguard could have prevented the attack ... so says a guy who would know, Ken Shamrock.
The former UFC champ now specializes in private security for high-profile people -- and he tells TMZ Sports the guy who was with Jay that night simply FAILED at his job.
"It's pretty clear that something went off [between Jay Z and Solange] before the fight," Shamrock says.
"The bodyguard should never have put them on the elevator together. You're waiting for a time bomb to go off. And when it does, you're stuck."
Shamrock -- who's been working for Pro-tect Global for more than a year -- says the bodyguard also erred by turning his back on Jay.
"Rather than getting in between Jay and Solange, he was pressing the elevator buttons. It seemed to me he didn't know what his job was."
Ken says he knows the guy was in a tough situation and says it's easy to judge from afar -- but the bottom line is ... Jay Z got attacked -- and it didn't have to happen that way.
Ronda Rousey
Makes 'Turtle' Crap Himself
... on 'Entourage' Set
Ronda Rousey is known for kicking ass and taking names, and on the set of the "Entourage" movie ... that name is Turtle.
Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Dillon shot a scene yesterday in Los Angeles where the UFC queen busts open a major can on them and their SUV in a road rage incident.
Seems from the clip the guys were able to talk their way out of it -- so ... sorry, no armbar for Jerry.
We're guessing he wouldn't be that lucky in real life.
Ronda Rousey
I'm Down For WrestleMania, IF ...
"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is totally down to get in the ring with the WWE's finest at WrestleMania ... but she'll only appear with her posse.
Rousey and her roommate/UFC fighter Shayna Baszler posted a video of the two mixing it up in the ring last week -- the rumor mills went wild ... and we're told she'd be stoked to wrestle a legit match at WrestleMania.
Sources close to Ronda say she's busy with movies and real fighting ... but if WWE honchos wanted to make it happen they can get the ball rolling by hiring her crew -- the Four Horsewomen -- Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.
We're told the fighter is saying WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans next month would be out of the question ... but if the WWE is interested, she'd be down to make it happen at next year's event in SF.
Fun Fact: Ronda confesses she jacked her nickname Rowdy from Roddy Piper.
Thiago Silva
Judge Says I CAN FIGHT AGAIN!
Former UFC star Thiago Silva has been cleared to fight again ... not by the UFC (Dana White banned him for life) ... but by a judge, who says Silva has the right to earn his living.
As we previously reported, Silva was finally released from jail (on bail) after allegedly grabbing a gun and threatening to execute his wife and her boyfriend outside of a FL martial arts gym last month.
The judge slapped Silva with several restrictions (no drugs, booze, anger management, etc) ... but Silva's attorney Scott Saul tells us he DID allow Silva to resume training for his MMA career.
Weird, since one day he'll be learning how to manage his anger ... and the next he'll be training himself to pummel another man within an inch of his life.
We're told Silva -- who's under house arrest and wears an electronic tracking device -- has permission to train at a nearby gym. He's also allowed to visit with his attorney and his manager.
Since the UFC is off the table, Silva will try and book a fight with another organization -- and once that happens (if it happens), the judge will have to give approval before Silva can enter the ring.
Ex-UFC Fighter Thiago Silva
After Alleged Gun Incident w/ Wife
Former UFC fighter Thiago Silva will be RELEASED FROM JAIL ... for the first time since he allegedly grabbed a gun and threatened to shoot his wife in Florida ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Silva was initially locked up without bond when he was arrested on Feb. 7th -- but today, the judge changed his mind and set bond at $25k.
But Silva isn't entirely a free man ... we're told he'll be on house arrest with an electronic monitor for the time being. He must also complete an anger management program.
The judge also ordered Thiago to stay away from his wife and her boyfriend at all times. He must also submit to random drug and alcohol testing.
As we previously reported, Thiago was initially arrested for attempted murder after allegedly threatening to shoot his wife and her BF in front of a martial arts school in FL.
The judge later reduced the charges to aggravated assault. Dana White has since banned Silva from ever fighting in the UFC again.
He's due back in court next week.
Shane Mosley
Boxing's More Respected Than UFC
... But I Like It
The UFC is exploding in popularity ... but the sport of boxing is still more respected than MMA ... so says former boxing champ Sugar Shane Mosely.
The 42-year-old was leaving Supper Club in Hollywood Saturday night when he explained why he thinks the UFC is still playing catch up to boxing when it comes to respect.
Shane -- who's retired -- also says he still thinks he can fight with the best in the world ... but wants to leave the sport in younger hands ... like his 23-year-old son, who's training to be just like his old man.
Chael Sonnen
Wanderlei Silva Sucks
'He's the Worst Fighter in the UFC'
Chael Sonnen says Wanderlei Silva is "the worst fighter in the UFC" ... and it's time for the guy to either sign a contract to fight or SHUT UP ... 'cause he's sick of waiting around.
Sonnen was at LAX this week when he blasted his "Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" rival -- who, according to Chael, has yet to sign his contract so they can finally get in the Octagon.
Chael and Silva were originally supposed to brawl at UFC 173 ... but the fight has since been pushed back ... and at this point, Sonnen isn't convinced it's ever going to happen.
Now, things are clearly getting personal -- with Chael telling us the guy straight up "sucks" at fighting.
It's getting nasty -- check out the clip.
Ronda Rousey
After obliterating Sara McMann's liver last night, UFC badass Ronda Rousey celebrated her first ever TKO victory the only way she knows how ... by destroying a huge plate of chicken wings!!!!!
Ronda's right hand man Layzie the Savage posted the video right after UFC 170 ... showing Ronda getting ready to chow down with a huge victorious smile on her face.
The chicken consumption has become a tradition for Ronda after a victory -- it was just back in December when she woofed down some cluckers after he big win at UFC 168.
Good for Ronda. Bad for the chickens.
CM Punk
UFC 170 Hangout Was Just For Fun
... Says Dana White
CM Punk's first public outing since walking away from the WWE last month was Saturday night in Las Vegas at UFC 170 ... and even though he was sitting ringside with the company's head honcho -- Dana White says they didn't talk one word of business.
TMZ Sports spoke with Dana White about his visible hangout with Punk seen by millions on Pay Per View ... and the UFC Prez says they were just watching the fight as friends.
Dana adds, "He is a friend and a fan. We have literally never talked about wrestling or fighting or anything else work related since I've known him."
As we previously reported ... Punk quit the WWE in January after feeling like he was getting snubbed out of a main event match at "Wrestlemania XXX". Earlier this week Vince McMahon told investors the wrestler is currently "taking a sabbatical" from the company.
Jon Jones
My Shotgun SPITS FIRE!!!!
[Insane Video]
Talk about packin' heat -- UFC champ Jon "Bones" Jones was blasting away with special shotgun ammunition that actually turns his piece into a frickin' FLAMETHROWER ... and it's all on video.
Jones grabbed his Remington 870 Express pump action shotgun and went to the desert to test out some unusual ammunition ... including something called "Dragon's Breath" ... which can ENGULF YOUR TARGET IN FLAMES!!!
FYI -- Dragon's Breath is illegal in a couple of states ... but it appears Jon was shooting in New Mexico, where it's ok.
If you wanna see the full power of the ammo -- check out the clip below and scroll to 4:24.
Ken Shamrock
Or I'll Beat Your Ass!!
Ken Shamrock isn't afraid to put the black eye in Black Eyed Peas if ANYONE messes with Fergie -- because the UFC legend was part of her personal security team yesterday ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Shamrock -- who's now in the celeb bodyguard business -- was watching Fergie's back at a footwear convention in Vegas. We're glad to report everyone behaved ... Ken didn't need to choke anyone out.
As we previously reported, 50-year-old Ken is one of the top guys at Pro-Tect Global -- and has been charged with keeping big stars like 50 Cent and Kristin Cavallari safe.
Despite the fact he's rollin' with huge celebs, we're told the World's Most Dangerous Man was hit up for some autographs himself --- and, of course, he obliged.
MLB Star Shane Victorino
I'm Training in MMA
... to Get JACKED for Baseball
Pitchers are gonna think twice before throwing inside on Shane Victorino next season ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned, the Red Sox star is on a HARDCORE mixed martial arts training binge.
"The Flyin' Hawaiin" is getting into fighting shape with "UFC Fit" -- same MMA workout routine that helped UFC super stars like Johnny Hendricks and Thiago Alves get JACKED before fights.
Shane tells us, "As an athlete, I've taken part in a lot of training programs ... and UFC Fit takes things to a whole new level."
Don Gold -- one of the honchos at the program -- tells us women's UFC star Ronda Rousey uses the system too ... "Mike Dolce and the UFC Fit team just recently trained Ronda for her UFC title defense and got her in the absolute best shape of her career."
Bottom line ... watch out for Shane when the benches clear next year.

The Great Gatsby is leaving the dusty shelves of high school English classrooms and making its way onto the big screen.
Director Baz Luhrmann, who directed other whimsical tales such as Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!, has taken F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic tragedy and brought it to life for a modern audience. The film is sure to be a spectacle, featuring stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan.
We all know and love these timeless characters and their story of jazz and betrayal — the grandiose parties, love affairs and the foreshadowing car — but what would happen if they left the pages of a book and attended a modern day university? Here are the main characters from The Great Gatsby portrayed as college stereotypes:
Meet the party boy with a dark side, the free-spirit and the obnoxious frat guy.
• Jay Gatsby – The party boy with a dark side
Major: Chemistry
This guy is the life of the party. Well, not really the "life" of the party, since he throws the biggest bashes near campus but always manages to sneak away and sulk by himself in the corner. With his shady business dealings, he is the person people go to for a fake ID or some adult beverages if under the age of 21 (hence the interest in chemistry). Despite his mysterious demeanor and bad-boy attitude, Gatsby is definitely a ladies man. He has a crush on the blonde girl in his studio art class — they had a bad breakup, but he will stop at nothing to get her back.
• Nick Carraway – The out-of-state student
Major: Creative writing
Nick is the quintessential "good guy" out-of-state student in your friend group. He just recently bought a new apartment in west campus, er — West Egg. Being from a different state, though, has been taking its toll on Nick. He is quickly getting swept up into the booze and free-living of college life.
• Daisy Buchannan – The free-spirit
Major: Fashion design
Whimsical and aloof, Daisy cares more about the beautiful things in life — money, a nice car, a new Fendi bag — than how others perceive her fickle behavior. Although the object of Gatsby's affection, Daisy is selfish, routinely studying class Google Docs without contributing. Her parents just bought her a very expensive yellow car, but you don't want to ride with her behind the wheel. It probably wouldn't end very well.
• Tom Buchannan – The obnoxious frat guy
Major: Business
Think of the most obnoxious, arrogant and promiscuous visor-wearing frat boy you know — that is Tom. He is the guy who displays empty alcohol bottles on his shelf and talks about how many women he has been with. He even has a maid come clean his dorm room.
• Myrtle Wilson – The naïve freshman
Major: Undeclared
Myrtle, just like a wide-eyed college freshman, cannot seem to catch a break. She isn't really sure what she wants in life and is caught up in a tragic love triangle. Myrtle is naïve and constantly makes freshman mistakes, like forgetting shower shoes, wearing a high school letterman jacket and not looking both ways before crossing the street — uh-oh, too soon?

In an innovative response to the current property squeeze in China, a Beijing architectural and a design firm have combined creative forces to develop a portable house and garden on the back of a tricycle.
The Tricycle House and Garden is a sustainable mobile home with its design and construction inspired by the shape and movement of an accordion. The playful designed is also being described as the "adult cardboard box fort box." — DesignBuild Source
The People's Architecture Office (PAO) and People's Industrial Design Office (PIDO) in Beijing developed the clever modular home as a single-person dwelling for those who wish to live in the city but simply cannot afford it due to increasing property prices. View full entry »
Feeling a little claustrophobic lately? Well, it's not just you — newly released numbers from the Census Bureau say Angelenos are living in the nation's most densely-populated urban area.
New York still has the highest population, but at 7,000 people per square mile, the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Long Beach area takes the density prize. — scpr.org
Once the definitive bicycle city, Beijing is responding to growing congestion and ongoing smog by setting a new target: for 23% of commuters to pedal to work by 2015. To achieve this target, new infrastructure for cyclists is to be wheeled in, with improved bicycle lanes, more parking facilities and a rental scheme to put a further 50,000 bikes on the roads by 2015. — sustainablecitiescollective.com

Girl, born Aug. 1999
Diagnoses: arthrogryposis; mental delay
Aubree is very active, easy-going, and friendly. Currently, she lives in a special school-orphanage.
From one of our adoptive families who visited with her in August 2012: She truly is a ray of sunshine! She comes out to greet us in her wheelchair (she has good upper body strength, her legs are fixed straight out in front of her and are tiny. She doesn't appear to have AMC in her upper limbs at all. She is extremely friendly and happy, she enjoys singing and dances in her wheelchair. She can also use her upper body strength to scoot around the floor. I am so excited that she is available because I know she will be a wonderful daughter if just given a chance. This girl just exudes love and happiness! The orphanage does provide the children with an education, and even music instruction. We were able to see Aubree perform in a concert that the children gave for their visitors (they have help from humanitarian groups that come in to work on the building and work with the children). If anyone asks about her, I would love to talk with them more about the orphanage and the children there. They have my heart!
Update June 2013:
Aubree is a happy, loving, and well-adjusted little girl. She is popular in her groupa and loves to talk to people and attend the Montessori program at her orphanage. That being said, she is a child you don't want to turn your back to. She can be very aggressive, and bites, pinches, and hits you when she wants attention or is jealous. She is also very dominant and wants to have your attention at all times, which is difficult when there are other children in the room. While she is very smart, I believe she has some mental delay, though how much of this is due to being raised in an orphanage environment is unclear. She was thrilled when I told her a lot of people loved her and were praying for her, and in the right family she would do very well. It would be best if she were the youngest or only child in a family in my opinion, so she can have all the attention she deserves.
Update from a family who met her in Feb 2014:
Aubree was one of the first ones I met. I'll be honest, I've read her profile, and I was worried. She's in the pictures we had of our new daughter in the new orphanage, and to think that she was the type of child described in the second "someone met her" description, was scary! I don't know what brought about the difference yesterday (maybe they're working with her, or she was just having a bad day before?), but she hung out with us for a while, and we didn't see any of those behaviors. Our youngest daughter loved her- she was very gentle and nurturing with her, and our son, and very social! We talked for a while, with a nanny and our facilitator translating for us. She likes school very much, especially art, and writing and drawing. She likes animals (cats, dogs, etc). She LOVES jewelry, and hairbows (the more giant the better!). She very much wants brothers and sisters, and when I asked her if she wanted older ones or little ones, she said little (and I believe it, she was very interested in our five kiddos, and loved to snuggle them). She held our daughter and she walked her through our photo book, describing everything- Aubree was so attentive, and her face looked so wistful.
Physically, she has obvious arthrogryposis, although she seems to have some flexibility in her hands, because she was holding a banana (no peel) and eating sections of it by herself. Her legs are pretty small, and very stiff. She struggles with speech, not with the thoughts, but with getting it out, and I believe she would benefit from speech therapy. She was very polite and affectionate as well, and although she does have some obvious cognitive delays, she seems eager to learn new things and to be a part of things.
When she was with us, I had our children playing blocks on one of the beds, and although she watched, and looked very interested in what they were playing, she never attempted to roll over there or monopolize attention. She talked with her friends, with our facilitator, and with me, for a while, especially when she realized that I might know a family for her- which totally broke my heart, because she was so eager to be adopted. At one point, I had turned away to say something to someone else, and she was trying to get my attention- her arms do appear to be affected by the arthrogryposis from what I saw, because her elbows didn't bend much, and her hands are turned at an unusual angle, and she grabbed at my shirt sleeve, trying to get my attention (she didn't know my name then). Her hands are strong, from rolling the wheelchair, and her grasp is poor because of the arthrogryposis, so she had to kind of sling her arm and try to close her fingers on my sleeve. I could see the awkwardness of it for her, but she definitely wasn't afraid to try! She's beautiful in person- these pictures don't do her justice at all. And I'm sorry my pictures are blurry, kids don't stay still long and I was using my camera with a slower capture speed because the room was a bit dim.
$18279.49 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

In his eight seasons as manager of the Red Sox, Terry Francona generally protected his players when they veered off the path. It was one of the qualities that made him the best manager in franchise history.
In his new book, Francona stays loyal to that ideal. But there are some interesting passages in "Francona: The Red Sox Years."

In his State of the Industry address, Tony Tyler shared his reflections on the 100th anniversary of civil aviation
In 2012, air transport produced 689 million tonnes of CO2, around 2% of global CO2 emissions. IATA recognizes the need to address the global challenge of climate change and adopted a set of ambitious targets to mitigate CO2 emissions from air transport:
IATA is determined to be part of the solution but insists that, in order to achieve these targets, a strong commitment is required from all stakeholders working together through the four pillars of the aviation industry strategy:
At its 38th session (24 September – 4 October 2013), the ICAO Assembly decided to develop a global market-based measure scheme for international aviation. It also requested the ICAO Council to finalize the work on the modalities for such a scheme for decision at the next Assembly. The Assembly's decision is a decisive step towards the operationalization of aviation's goal to cap net CO2 emissions from 2020 (CNG2020).
In the lead up to the Assembly, IATA and its industry partners had called on ICAO Member States to adopt a single, global market-based measure for aviation. At the IATA 69th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June 2013, member airlines had also overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution on "Implementation of the Aviation Carbon-Neutral Growth (CNG2020)".

Corner Saloon Featured on
(click here)
In this scene of the movie Extraordinary Measures it appears that Brendan Fraser is thanking Harrison Ford for taking him to the Corner Saloon. So come on down and check it out! See what people are saying about the new "Harrison Ford Ribs" new to our menu.
"The Corner Saloon already has some excellent items to choose from on their menu, nachos and the cheeseburger being my favorites, the Harrison Ford baby back ribs have to be tried. Being a big fan of these type of ribs the Corner's ranks right up there with the best I've had.Taste, texture and sauce all come together for a great rib. The cost of these ribs are 35-50 per cent cheaper than what I usually pay for a full rack. You won't be disappointed." - Alan Williams, Wilsonville, OR
Do you recongnize where Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser are sitting? That's the Corner Saloon! The name of the movie that was filmed here is called Extraordinary Measures. Click here for pictures of the Corner Saloon during the production. Click here for a clip of a scene at the Corner.

"Absolutely love these shoes. I had been wearing very flat sandals for the last two years and my legs were starting to take a toll. I caved and purchased my first pair of Birkenstocks and I couldn't be happier. It took me a few days to get used to the width of these shoes, as my feet are narrower, but I realized the sides were there for extra support. It took maybe a week to "break them in", but they were never uncomfortable. I was nervous that they'd be like flip flops, since there is no back strap, but my feet do not budge or "kick" up the backs at all (which causes more foot pain). I got a size 39 (or 8), and I'm usually an 8.5 or 9."

left my feet feeling broken
"these shoes hurt so bad. i have really high arches so i thought these shoes would be perfect for regular and work use. i was wrong i dont k ow if just my feet because these shoes have been getting really good reviews, they were fine in the house and the store but once i stepped on concrete you can feel every lump bump in the shoe. after my 9 hour work shift my feet literally felt like they were broken i had to return them. im going to try a different footbed to see if thats the problem"

So comfy
"As somebody who hates flip flops and thong shoes I have to say, these are great. The leather does not rub against my skin like most thong sandals do.They're very comfy! I slipped them on after a shower and found that the cork footbed molded to my feet really quickly afterward.If you can't try a pair of birkenstocks on in person it is probably best to size down since they run a bit large. I am typically a US 6.5 in sandals, and I purchased size 36. I tried on a pair of size 37's in person before ordering them online and they were waaaay too big."

First pair of Birks!
"So this is my first pair of Birkenstocks and so far I am very pleased. Flat sandals or shoes cause my arch and heel to ache terribly so I bought these to give my feet a break. They arrived at work and right after my workout, I put them on. So comfy! They do run long and wide as I'm usually a 7.5 and the 7 is perfect. I also really like how this style is more feminine and dainty than the traditional Birks. I really feel like these are investment shoes and I'm very happy with them."

SULLIVAN CITY – Anna Mendiola Castillo, 44, born on July 4, 1966 entered into eternal rest on Saturday, November 13, 2010.
Anna was born in Mission, TX to Lauro and Dora Mendiola. Anna was employed by Regis Corporation as an area supervisor.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Trinidad Castillo Jr.; a son, Adolfo Villarreal Jr.; daughter, Alyssa Ashley Villarreal; her loving parents; brothers, Cesar (Lydia) Mendiola, Oscar (Alicia) Mendiola, Joel (Palmira+) Mendiola, Marco Antonio Mendiola; sisters, Leticia Mendiola Martinez and Lisa (Manuel) Chapa; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.
"Life without a purpose is a languid, drifting thing; every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves, "This day let me make a sound beginning." - (Thomas Kempis)" Anna's purpose was to live each day to the fullest and her children were her life, her inspiration. She truly believed in living well, loving much and laughing often. Her family and friends will miss her beyond words; may she rest in peace.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, November 16, at L & I Funeral Home in Sullivan City from 2 to 9 p.m. with a 7 p.m. rosary. Funeral mass will be held Wednesday, November 17, at 10 a.m. at St. William's Catholic Church in Sullivan City. Interment follows at Cuevitas City Cemetery.

A customer recently asked me a equipment related question about whether the Rubber Golf Club Pickup item we sell conforms to the Rules of Golf. If you are not familiar with it, the simple device attaches to the end of your grip and acts as a suction cup for the purpose of picking the ball off the ground or from the bottom of the hole so you don't have to bend over.
|Rubber Golf Ball Pickup
|$1.45 each
If you read the Rules of Golf booklet very carefully, you will find there is a small exception to Rule 1a in Appendix II. It allows for attachments to the putter as long as they don't affect the performance of the club. So as long as you have the Rubber Golf Club Pickup affixed onto your putter grip and no other club in your bag, plus it is not removed and re-attached during the round, it if fine.
There are many things that golfers can do to golf clubs, whether they are existing or building from scratch that could make a club non-conforming. For instance, you could add lead tape anywhere on the head, except for the face as that would be a no-no. Or you could add a coat hanger underneath the grip. What, someone actually thought of doing that to a club, and better yet – why? Well, the purpose is to create a raised rib on the grip. While ribbed grips are allowed, the diameter of the coat hanger would be too great as there is a limitation (0.040" or 1mm) to how raised the rib can be.
So if you like to tinker on clubs, it is important to know the rules!
4 Comments on Golf Club Rules You May Not Know
Question: Can someone place extra weight on the putter grip (like 5 lbs)and use tape to hold it on? It certainly would effect the total weight of the club and therfore the performance. I guess he tried to counter-balance the club.
This is not entirely correct. The suction cup must NOT be wider than the grip itself or it will not comply. I have sent pictures of a putter with a suction cup attached to a putter and a question of if it was permanently attached, than it was not legal. This is what I got back from the USGA: Caleb,
There may be suction cups available with a much smaller base that could
be stretched to fit your putter grip. Provided that the pin did not
permanently attached the cup to the grip, it might be permissible to
attach in that manner. However, the attachment would generally need to
conform to the shape of the grip. If you could send me a couple images
of that type of attachment, I would be happy to comment.
Adding weight to the end of the club is permitted. However, the weight
couldn't be added to the end of the grip and would have to be internal
and flush with the top of the grip.
I did not include the name of the USGA person who wrote this, as it is not allowed.

So there's a Japanese slang term, 'chuunibyou', that roughly translates to "Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome." It is used to describe the stupid phases people go through when they are 14, like pretend to be really hardcore, act like they know everything, say they have mystical powers, etc.
I'm so happy this term exists.

These are great long johns! Nice and warm, and soft as well. Can't beat them for the price! Great deal.
fleece long johns are great, good buy, will tell my friends
Received a variety of sizes, all too small.
I'm really happy with my purchase, especially for the price. The all-cotton material is thick with a very soft finish on the inside. The fit, even after washing, is very good. I don't know what the vintage of these long johns are but I don't expect that anything like this is even manufactured today.
