Living With The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
Confidence. That's what the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland exudes. Whether it's on the road or trail, at an overcrowded shopping mall, or pushing through branches on a long-forgotten trail to nowhere, there's never a second thought about the ability of the Grand to bring you back. And that's saying something for what some people consider a 40K soccer-mom-mobile.
We've used and abused our 2002 4x4 of the Year winner for the past year and put nearly 30,000 miles on it and ran it through 2000 gallons of gas. With nary a hiccup or complaint, the Grand has towed loads far in excess of its rated capacity over mountains, trails, dirt, and mud, also giving us comfortable commuting time where we can relax for an hour on the way to work.
When we played, we soared it through dunes, mired it in the muck, and banged it over rocks the engineers would have cringed at. Sure, we've been stuck and nearly stranded due to the street tires and lack of a suspension lift, but you learn quickly how to use what the vehicle has rather than complain about what it doesn't.
So consider what the Grand does have. New for the '02 model year was the Overland package, with a revamped and refined interior with stylish white gauges and a host of amenities from tire-pressure monitoring to heated seats. Throw in the Vari-Lok axles and full-time four-wheel drive and you have a capable vehicle on road or off. Thanks to the supple Quadralink suspension and High Output 4.7L V-8 engine, this rig is a canyon carver even in the rain or snow, as well as a plush 4x4 that can tackle many trails and still tow at speed over hill and dale. Yeah, we thrashed it hard for a year, and we will be very sorry to let it out of our stable.
But of course every vehicle has its drawbacks in design, technology, quality, and performance. Ummm, let's see. Oh yeah, paint gets chipped on rocks. Bad design. Uh...moist-sensitive windshield and wipers are too erratic; we'd opt to go back to regular intermittent style. Needless technology. OK, quality-wise the Grand has a slight pull to the right now, but the tires wear fine. And the seat heater blew a fuse. (Hear us whine?) But performance? The Grand has spectacular acceleration from any speed, even with a load. Entering an L.A. freeway onramp is a joy, not a death wish. However, the brake pedal feel is poor and it has been thankfully upgraded on the '03 Grands. Even with a 7,000-pound load on the tail the Grand can easily stop the whole train with four-wheel disc brakes, but you know you're pressing the big pedal more than you should have to.
That's a pretty small list of negatives we came up with, probably smaller than any 4x4 of the Year winner.
We'll keep the Grand Cherokee Overland around as long as we can, and hopefully give you some updates along the way as it becomes a long-term test vehicle. This is one rig we hate to give back. In fact, we'd even be willing to part with some of our hard-earned cash to buy a Jeep like this, something we've never even considered before. And that's a good thing.

Kanobby and Far East Movement
Keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist Kanobby is the musical director for Far East Movement, anchoring the group's live sound with Roland synths.
Background Vocals for Every Keyboardist
For keyboardists in need of great background vocals, the new VP-7 vocal processor is ready to sing! Create harmonies instantly, from a single voice to a full-scale choir, with a microphone and a MIDI connection to the keyboard of your choice. It's simple. Just select a sound type from the front panel, and play. The Human Voice section provides rich and expressive choral backing by just playing the keyboard — no singing required. The Vocal Designer section can automatically generate 2-voice or 3-voice backing harmonies based on the lyrics that you sing into the microphone. And for classic robot-voice effects, the Vocoder button lets you instantly sound like a vintage vocoder.
Ultimate Expression
The VP-7 lets you create "virtual vocals" with spoken or sung phrases from your own voice. Whether you need a basic harmony or perhaps a vintage vocoder sound, the VP-7 can deliver the interactive, expressive vocal backing you need. Play the desired harmony notes on the keyboard, and sing. You can even generate harmonies without singing at all — just play and let the VP-7's Human Voice section do the vocalizing for you.
Easy Control
Operating the VP-7 couldn't be easier. Even though the unit itself is compact, the dedicated buttons and knobs are large and clearly labeled. Four knobs provide instant control over volume, Mic level, Harmony mix, and Ambience level. Large front-panel buttons are provided for selecting the Human Voice type (Female Choir, Boys Choir, Gregorian Choir, and Jazz Scat), for selecting the Vocal Designer type (Duet, Trio 1, and Trio 2), for Bypass, and for activating the Vocoder section.
On Time, On Budget
The VP-7 can be used for a wide variety of musical applications. It's ideal for musicians who perform alone or in small groups, for example, and who need an interactive, real-time backing chorus. The creative possibilities are vast, as are the time/money savings that this instrument can provide.

Samantha Urbani, of Friends, Discusses the Power of Bartering
Published: Friday, June 29, 2012
Updated: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 19:07
There are plenty of "buzz" bands coming out of Brooklyn, but something about Friends sets them apart. Best known for their singles "Friend Crush" and "I'm His Girl," they're a fun-loving group of genuine friends who are making the best of the attention brought their way.
A bed bug infestation brought the soon-to-be band members into a tight living situation that resulted in the band's formation. Six days after practicing, Friends played their first show. Soon after, they were signed and thrown into the touring musician's lifestyle. They released their debut album, Manifest! (Fat Possum Records), on June 5.
College Timeschatted with singer Samantha Urbani during a rare off day in Seattle. She dished on touring, trading and her never-ending ambition.
College Times: What's up?
Samantha Urbani: Today we went to the park. We did yoga. I went to a thrift store and bought this insanely amazing jumpsuit. It's really cool, and now we're eating Indian food. It's actually a really good day, which is awesome because sometimes touring can be really dark. I'm just really happy to be back in really good weather and being back in the States is cool, too. I wasn't sure I'd look forward to it but it's actually really nice.
You've been on the road a lot lately.
Yeah, being on tour is a very strange lifestyle. I don't think anyone who hasn't done could it really understand. It's really alienating in a lot of ways, but in a cool meditative way. I feel like we're a troop of aliens and we always help each other even when the world is very strange. Usually it's just the five of us in the band and maybe like a tour manager. It can get really weird just hanging out with the same people every day. It's almost like "Groundhog Day" where the same day gets repeated over and over but you're also doing time travel and [there's] a lot of complications.
I've noticed you're into bartering on the road.
Totally! Yeah, I really think money is really silly most of the time. It makes sense as a measurement of what we're trading each other but I think it's better to get rid of the middle man, and going directly to trading makes more sense. It's a lot more personal and fulfilling. Like, last night I was walking around before our show and I went into a yoga studio because I wanted to buy a coconut water. And I started talking to the girl, told her I was playing, she really wanted to come, so I told her I'd put her on the list and she instantly offered to give me two free passes for her yoga classes. Bartering is an excellent idea. I trade a lot. I trade clothes. I trade books, plants, cooking, volunteer work where you help your friends work on their venue or space. It's unspoken bartering where you help each other out, and it's all open and interchanging and stuff.
Where were you at this point last year?
Last year I had just moved to Rockaway Beach. We had just started with our first record label. We didn't really know what the timeline was going to be. We were talking about recording an album and going on tour, but we were still playing tons of shows all the time in Brooklyn. We were constantly playing shows in Brooklyn. It's all relative. Sometimes I feel like everything's going really fast and other times I feel like it's driving me insane how slowly things are going. Like, it seems like things are going really fast for us because in the last year we started touring in Europe a lot and getting more attention, whatever, but for me, I'm like, "Holy fuck, did we really only release, like, two singles in the last year?" That's insane! How am I supposed to continue to feel fulfilled if we can only put out 12 songs a year on an album when I want to put out 12 songs a month? And then I don't have any time to write or record because we're on tour all the time. It's just a mix of things and there are some points where I have these epiphany moments where I'm like, "Holy shit, I'm living a dream life. I'm doing everything I wanted to do when I was a kid." But then there are other times when I completely question what I'm doing. [Laughs] I'm gonna' figure it all out as I go along.

As SEGA celebrates Sonic's birthday, IGN looks back at Sonic's wild games and guises.Jun 23rd, 2006 - Sonic the Hedgehog, we salute you! Oh great fictional character of blue pixels and "blast processing," your emergence gave wind to the sales of furry platform characters worldwide! You generated a reason to buy the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive! You fought with the deadly Super Nintendo in its heyday and won! Congratulations on such a wild ride. Now that you're a mere 15 years old, you're, ironically, one of the oldest videogame characters ever. Shall we turn back and look upon your humble beginnings? Shall we trace the wacky 'tude of yor? Now that you've sold more than 44 million games, we'll take a quick glimpse back at your history.
Originally created on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, Sonic the Hedgehog forged a new path in videogames. The short blue hedgehog, adorned with white gloves and shoes, lined with spikes across his back, sported a blazing speed and a clear attitude shown off in his idling animations, breaking the fifth wall and speaking directly to videogame players worldwide. Taking the beloved platform format created by Nintendo, Team Sonic (led by Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima) fashioned a creative and loveable style of platforming all its own.
The first game set the tone for many more Sonic games to come. Sonic's next game quickly appeared on Game Gear in the same year, followed by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Genesis in 1992, SegaSonic in the arcades and Sonic CD on SEGA CD, feeding demand for the loveable character that eventually become a more widely recognized character than Disney's Mickey Mouse by the mid 1990s.
Then there are the oddities: Sonic Shuffle, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Shadow the Hedgehog, the always controversial animated TV shows (he loves chili dogs, of course) and less controversial comic books. And SEGA's own move from its self-made systems to becoming "system agnostic," changed things drastically too.
But this is a new year and, in typical fashion, SEGA is prepared to hit the next generation systems with a totally new Sonic. In fact, this year SEGA is ushering Sonic the Hedgehog into the future with four brand new games across many platforms. Coming this November, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis will hit Game Boy Advance. In a totally different arena, Sonic the Hedgehog will appear on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the fall. You'll see Sonic Rivals debuting on the PSP this fall, and a totally original Sonic will appear on Nintendo's Wii in 2007.
"Sonic's 15th birthday is a landmark occasion bringing SEGA and Sonic fans together to celebrate the hedgehog's trademark speed, heroism, and attitude," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president of marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "The breathtaking speed and gameplay innovation that Sonic introduced in 1991 will reach new heights in Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Rivals, and Sonic's new adventure for the Wii. These titles continue a super-Sonic legacy of ground-breaking gameplay and story elements that only next-gen consoles can deliver."
Happy birthday, wonderous creature of blue speed and 'tude! We're looking forward to your next adventure.

>> "...a matte-black assault rifle — a new Colt M16 .22LR... roadside assault-rifle sales ...you could walk away from Eduardo's car with the kind of high-powered weapon used by Marines in Afghanistan.<<ROTFLMAO! Maybe "Nancy-boy" Marines in Afghanistan use a gun like this, but its most-common use in that theater is probably shooting rats.
The Colt M16 .22LR chambers a standard .22LR cartridge that produces a muzzle velocity of about 1200fps with a 40-grain bullet. At 100 yards, it's rated at about 90 foot-pounds of force.A Colt M-16 (or its more common variant, the M-4) fires a .223 caliber 55-grain bullet at 3240 fps and is rated at 1000+ foot-pounds at 100 yards. The M-16 packs about 7 times the wallop at 100 yards that the M-16 .22LR does at the muzzle. In effect, the M-16 .22LR is the next step up from a high-end pellet gun (7 grain pellet, 1000fps). There are less powerful cartridges - but they are few.
Beyond that, the .223 Remington cartridge used in M-16M-4 is at the low-end of "high-powered" weapons. The military ball .30-06 round, first used over 100 years ago in the 1903 Springfield, is a 165 grain bullet traveling at 2800fps with a 100-yard force level of 2426 foot-pounds - more than twice the 'punch' of the M-16 and almost 27 times as much as your "high-powered" weapon example.Tim, I think you've just established a new low for the definition of "high-powered weapon". Can slingshots and BB guns be far behind?

The IVEY surname appears in Eileen's paternal line. The surname has been found to be spelled IVY, IVIE, etc. in the records. There has been some speculation that Eileen's grandmother, Bessie Lee IVEY, has Indian blood, though nothing has been found to confirm this.
Stories and History:
Ahnentafel # 20: George W. IVEY. George and his wife, Rebecca HARROLD, were listed as the parents of Samuel IVEY on his marriage record. Rebecca's surname has been also spelled HARRELL in some records.
Ahnentafel # 10: Samuel IVEY (c1868-1953). Samuel was born circa 1868 in Kentucky. Samuel married Emma E. CARTER on February 26, 1896 in Massac County, Illinois. Emma was born circa 1880-1886 in either Alabama, Arkansas or Kentucky (census records disagree). The family lived in Graves and Marshall Counties, Kentucky and Lawrence and Poinsett Counties, Arkansas in the census records. Samuel died May 25, 1953 in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Poplar Bluff.

Yeah, my immediate thought was on birds, not insects, but it makes sense for them as well. I see birds picking up all sorts of random trash all the time, and regularly see nests with manmade items in them.
I have a feeling you're dealing with the same issue I am. I've reported it to Google, but years later it still isn't fixed.
I have a normal username (made up example: firstname.lastname@example.com). This other user apparently has "firstname.lastname@example.com". I don't know if they get any mail at all, but I get lots of theirs. I even tested it, sending an email to my address with randomly-inserted periods, and they all end up coming to me.
There is a common phrase in my neck of the woods: "...a level of stupidity that can only be attributed to a college education."
It isn't a knock on the education so much as it is about the sheltered lives far too many college students have led until that point.
The 5th Amendment is yet another example of our founding fathers' attempts to curb tyranny.
I started off on C64s and Apple ][s in middle school, which upgraded to Mac LCs around 8th grade. Started off in BASIC, fiddled with stuff like Hypercard under the Mac.
That summer as I was going into high school my parents got me a Tandy PC1000. Family friends helped me with upgrades, software, etc. I eventually got my hands on a full copy of QuickBASIC, Turbo Pascal, and Turbo C. I wrote my own database app, even wrote my own mouse drivers in assembler, linked them in through C and QB, started expanding my own library of that sort of code.
My first 'paid' gig was for a friend of my father who owned a TV repair business. I wrote a program that monitored a modem to pick up caller ID info and store it in a database; searchable, printed reports, etc. Networked it to pass the caller ID info to PCs in other buildings on his property. My 'payment' was in hardware, software, and 100 packs of 3.5" floppies, which I was more than happy with at the time.
I went to college for CS, but learned more in my job at a research institute on campus than I did in the classes. I actually had a couple professors who, after the first semester with them, just came to me later with "You know this already, don't you? Here's the test schedule, just show up for the exams if you want." I dropped out after a couple years and managed to get a decent job before the first major dot bomb bust.
I did some coding for a year or two after that, but mostly moved up the food chain. Most of my coding these days consists of shell scripts, awk, some PHP, but little 'new development.' Today I effectively operate as a liaison between support teams and development teams since I have the skillset to give a better technical analysis of an issue as well as the coding background to debug issues as well as know what is and is not possible on the dev side.
And the only reason I don't have nearly this many open at work is because I use Chrome, and they still haven't added scrolling tabs; it just keeps shrinking them until they're unusable. I've tried a couple addons for it, but they all sucked. At home I stick to Firefox.
Where's the option for "Tabs have replaced bookmarks for me"? I regularly find myself at 150+ tabs, realize the browser is acting like it's going to crash, so "Bookmark all tabs" to a folder (just in case) and start culling out the ones I haven't used recently.
I'm guessing Onion News Empire is one of them, just started watching the pilot a few minutes ago. A few recognizable actors (not just a bunch of unknowns), funny so far.
Hopefully others work out this well too.
Basically it's a big "fuck you" to the incumbent ISPs and a wake-up call to the public as to how badly we're being screwed by those ISPs. Data caps, incredible markups for marginal speed increases, etc. Google is proving those are all bullshit and still profitable.
I'd gladly sign a petition, and agree it should be mandatory that it be labeled.
However, I personally don't care so much. My only major concern with GMO crops would be pushing terminator genes again and possibly spreading into standard crops.
In other news, it was proposed to put a new tax on airline tickets in order to help sustain the horse & buggy industry.
I did something like this (though more sysadmin stuff than anything), but I worked for a former co-worker who started his own full-time contracting business, mainly web design work. I got paid by the hour for odds and ends, but I was there to relieve his workload and add some fine-point expertise. If something came up support-wise it was on his shoulders to find someone to handle it if I wasn't available. It worked out pretty well for both of us. If I was doing more coding work then it would have been even better as that is where his skills were so he could fully support it himself.
Exactly. Hand someone a Mini-14 and an AR-15 and ask which is more dangerous, and I bet you most anti-gun idiots will pick the AR-15, despite the fact that they are basically the same guns with different furniture.

Burnley car fans call for second Paul Walker tribute event (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

Burnley car fans call for second Paul Walker tribute event
10:00pm Friday 27th December 2013 in News
CAR fans have taken to social media to ask a Burnley man to organise a second car rally, after his first event was a roaring success.
Andy Lockey organised the tribute evening earlier this month at the Trafford Centre in memory of Hollywood actor Paul Walker who died in a car crash at the end of November.
The 40-year-old actor was well known for his role in The Fast And The Furious film franchise and was a favourite of car fans across the world.
Thousands of avid modified car fans from across the north west descended on the shopping centre, just outside Manchester, to honour their idol.
Mr Lockey said: "The evening was amazing, about 2,000 people turned up with another 1,000, according to police, who couldn't get there due to them having to close roads."
Fellow organiser Rikki Jones said that the evening had raised £431.93 for Help for Heroes.
He said: "Would like to stay a huge thank you to everyone who attended, supplied, donated and bought H4H or Paul Walker merchandise."
Andy initially said that he didn't intend to organise another event.
But car fans have since taken to Facebook to ask Andy and Rikki to organise another meet.
Liam Gaskell said: "The event was my first car meet and it was a fantastic evening. I look forward to the next!"
And Tom Judge said: "It was well good, needs to happen again!"
Rikki has responded to the calls on Facebook, and said he is now considering putting on another — even bigger — event in the summer.

Did the event have event insurance?
Did the event take place at a proper event venue?
Was the event supporting the charity that Paul Walker was known to be a part of?
Police there checking or not my points still stand. If this was a correctly organised event the police wouldn't have needed to turn 1000 people away. I say bill Andy Lockey for the cost of the police!

I went to the event and obviously the keyboatd warriors know nothing about the modified car scene, firstly these people spend most of their disposible income on their cars with most parts being replaced with newer and much more expensive parts. Police are always at these events so you would have to be an idiot to turn up without proper insurance MOT and tax. The police are pretty keen and will walk around checking tyre depths, dark tinted front tinted windows, looking for illegally modified lights etc.
I would rather see 2000 lads and lasses enjoying this hobby than going out drinking/fighting and taking drugs or trolling the LET comments section because your life is so interesting Not !!!!

Michelle Rodriguez hit the red carpet with Vin Diesel. Michelle was one of the best dressed, looking elegant in a black form fitting gown, while Vin kept it simple in jeans and a black polo. Daisy Fuentes rocked the carpet in an embellished ombre dress, and kept her hair and makeup simple. Marc Anthony looked cool and relaxed as he hit the carpet solo. Paulina Rubio's hair and makeup were perfection but the fit of the pink Valentino dress was a awkward. The biggest fashion taboo of the night went to none other than Taboo himself.

What is Modular Education:
Our seminary offers a unique modular format of education that attracts students from all around the world. Although some courses are offered in a traditional semester format (such as practicum courses, including Greek and Hebrew), most of our semenary classes concentrate the classroom component into one-week, all-day classes. In modular classes, students often are expected to complete both pre-course work and post-course work.
We invite you to consider these advantages of modular style education:
- our part-time students can stay employed in thier various job/ministry positions and still attend our modular-style classes as their work schedules allow.
- full-time students can study according to a flexible schedule that fosters more time for family.
- the intense one-week courses enable increased immersion in a focused subject.
- the number of visiting part-time students helps enrich the educational experience of full-time students by adding perspectives from current ministry workers.
- the one-week schedule allows Briercrest to offer a greater number of adjunct and visiting faculty specialists.
- finally, Briercrest resident faculty are able to stay connected with global needs in ministry by teaching modular courses in various parts of North America and the world.
What is student life like?
Students of Briercrest Seminary form a community of believers devoted to further developing themselves as effective ministry practitioners. A close bond among this group is evident inside and outside of the classroom.
As a student of our seminary, you might find yourself:
- relaxing in our comfortable and spacious library while working on assigned course reading.
- discussing new ideas over a cup of coffee at the student centre.
- participating in the weekly seminary chapel service, which is followed by a community luncheon.
- emailing friends or family members at one of the computer terminals around campus or using our wireless network.
- enjoying an evening of games with another family.
- playing sports on one of our intramural teams.
- taking in one of the many Christian conferences or events on campus.
As an off campus student taking modular courses what kind of accomodations are offered?
Student Residences: students coming to our campus for a modular course may stay in a Student Residence Room (as available). Generally, seminary students will be placed in their own, private rooms. Typically, this will also include a private bath, and a very low-occupancy hall to ensure a quiet environment conducive to sleep and study. Both room and board and room-only options are available. For more information, contact Gord Hanson at 756-3353 or by email.
Pilgrim Inn: The 42-room inn is only a three-minute walk from the seminary building. A discount rate is available for seminary students who are taking a course. The comfortable setting is ideal for individual and group study. Take advantage of the in-room coffee, the fireplace, and the quiet surroundings. For reservations, please call 1-877-355-5002.
The Sundbo Place: these apartments provide comfortable and quiet rooms for our single seminary students who choose to move to Caronport. This residence has plenty of space and privacy, allowing for an adequate study location during your stay at Briercrest. Additional student residences are available as the need arises.
Where can I eat while I'm studying?
Dining HallThree meal options are provided each day from Sunday to Friday. Fresh soup and salad bar are available at noon and supper meals. A deli bar is also available for noon meals on weekdays. Saturday features only lunch and supper. Click here for more details about our off-campus meal plans.
Crossroads CaféLocated directly beside the seminary wing, the Crossroads Café provides a casual setting for students to relax and unwind, or discuss new ideas over a cup of coffee.
Subway™You can "eat fresh" in Caronport. Our Subway offers wraps, soup, and subs.
Coffee Shop

Things I liked:This gun is for adults. DO NOT get this gun for a youngster or a beginner. The cocking effort is atleast 40-45 lbs. This is a powerful gun, and i love it. It kicks like a real firearm. It needs about 200 rounds thru it to calm it down then its good to go. My gun likes a firm grip and its doing 3/4" groups out to 35yrds.
What others should know:Be patient with this gun and it will reward you in the end. My gun likes cheap chp, predator polymags barely beat them in accuracy test.
Things I liked:One of the est shooting reak barrels I have for sure. DON'T BUY THIS, SCOPED, MODEL!! Get the one with the handle and iron sights. The scope is worthless past 20-25 feet!
Things I would have changed:The rifle is quiet, smooth and dead accurate! The scope isn't worth what it cost to ship from China. Hence 4the stars for value.
What others should know:Scope aside, I love this rifle. I canned the junk scope and got an M16 handle andand rail mount. I put a folding Mag Pull front sight and topped it off with a 2.5x10x40 Firefield scope. I get 1" patterns at 40 yards, from a rest with Crosmana 10.5 premium dome pellets. The great value for the buck!!. I only wish it came in a larger caliber!!
Things I liked:While far from an expert, I know a thing or two about airguns. That being said, I was very pleased with this one. Solid build, decent barrel length, good accuracy, the nitro piston, and a feel very comparable to the real thing combine to make this an outstanding gun.
Things I would have changed:Personally, I would lighten it up a bit, because I don't use it to practice for the real thing. Others may disagree.
What others should know:While its not a $3,000 Olympic rifle, it's perfect for eliminating pests such as rodents, bunnies, and stray tin cans and clay birds. I'm not the best shot, nor do I claim to be. However, even I can hit an inch wide target at 20 yards.

California governor signs two dental bills
Add California to the list of states that have passed bills prohibiting insurance companies from controlling what a dentist may charge for services the insurers don't cover.
California's noncovered services bill was signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sept. 30. It goes into effect Jan. 1, 2011.
California is the 16th state to pass noncovered services legislation.
The bill allows dentists to charge up to their usual and customary fees that would apply to most private pay patients for services not covered by a dental benefit plan. It also requires dental plans to provide a disclosure statement in their enrollees' evidence of coverage document explaining that dentists may charge their usual and customary rate. The document also must advise that the dental treatment plan and costs be reviewed and encourage patients to contact their plan or insurance broker for further information.
The law is the result of lobbying by the California Dental Association, whose House of Delegates passed a resolution in November 2009 directing the association to consider options, including legislation, that would ban the fee restrictions on noncovered services.
Gov. Schwarzenegger also signed a separate bill that will add a new school-based portfolio licensure examination option for California dental students. The bill was sponsored by the Dental Board of California and supported by the CDA and the six California dental schools.
The portfolio licensure exam process, which will replace the current California clinical exam, will allow students to build a portfolio of completed clinical experiences and competency exams in seven subject areas over the entire course of their final year of dental school. Students also will continue to have the option of taking the Western Regional Examining Board exam or completing a one-year general practice residency program in order to become licensed.
The new law will become effective Jan. 1, 2011, but the Dental Board will need to adopt regulations containing the specific details of the process before the option can be made available to students.

A great bloke, who repeatedly cut it with the greats
For about half of his career, Brett Lee was possibly a rung short of being a true cricketing great. That's not to denigrate a guy who had a lengthy Australian career in all forms of the game. It's just how it is.
Unlike the greatest two bowlers of his generation Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, Lee was a player of peaks and troughs. When he was good, you didn't want to be a batsman, or for that matter his own wicket keeper. But when he was ordinary, you didn't want to be a picket in the boundary fence.
The moment Lee arrived on the scene for NSW in the mid '90s, it was clear he was one out of the box marked "Express". In his debut in the 1999 Boxing Day Test at the MCG, he took a wicket in his first over and 5/47 in his first innings. Shane Who? Glenn Who?
It took just 11 matches for Lee to bag his first 50 Test wickets. As a comparison, Warne took 31 wickets in his first 11 Tests, while McGrath snared 34. Like one of his thunderbolts on the pitch, Lee struck hard and fast in Test cricket. But then he seemed to level off.
Statistics don't reveal the full picture in any sport. They don't tell of aura, and intimidation, and of the small things players bring to a team's spirit which only his team-mates understand. In this respect, Lee was a hugely valued man around the dressing room, both in his early raw days and in his wily older days.
Crowds loved Lee for his exuberant mid-pitch wicket celebrations. Most famous was the chainsaw, immortalised in an early cover shoot for Alpha magazine.
For all his value as a persona in the team, some of Lee's stats are mildly disappointing. McGrath's bowling average was just 21, which means he leaked 21 runs for each wicket. Lee's average was 30. The generally-accepted benchmark for "greatness" is mid-20s and below.
Of course, express pace bowling has long been a recipe for profligacy. The faster you send 'em down, the faster the batsmen can dispatch 'em.
That's what makes Brett Lee's One Day and T20 stats so impressive. He was never economical in either form of the game. But oh, did he have the happy knack of taking wickets. Here's one for your next pub trivia night. Guess who holds the record of 380 One Day scalps alongside Glenn McGrath?
In Australia's unbeaten 2003 World Cup campaign, Lee was brilliant hunting in tandem with the likes of miserly Glenn McGrath and the in-form Andy Bichel. You'd have the guile men at one end, and those late inswinging Lee yorkers making woodchips out of stumps at the other. A true batsman's nightmare.
And then, there were those days on dead pitches. I remember being at the SCG in early 2004 when Lee took match figures of 4-276. India racked up a tally of 9-916 in its two innings. Lee looked about as menacing as the seagulls.
Of course, every cricketer has his lean patches, and to reach straight into the sporting cliché bag, what counts is how you bounce back. Lee did this with style, and if he didn't do it in one or two definitive outings, then he bounced back with his longevity.
For a guy who suffered stress fractures, and who bowled the second fastest ball ever recorded (161.3 km/h, a fraction slower than Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar), it's remarkable Lee was still competing in Australian colours in England last week aged 35.
He also recently won an IPL title in India, and was in selectors' plans for the T20 World Cup in September before succumbing to a minor calf strain last week. Truly, Brett Lee stood the test of time on field.
Off the field, he has always conducted himself just as impressively. Lee has never been a player who's name has bobbed up at the wrong end of the newspaper. An exception was the break-up of his marriage in 2008, an affair beyond his control which he handled with enormous dignity.
Steve Waugh once called Lee a once-in-a-lifetime talent, or words to that effect, and Lee probably fell just short of that. But if you throw together his attitude, his 300 wickets in both major forms of the game, his longevity and his sheer public recognisability in a golden era of Australian cricket, you have to call him a giant of the game, regardless of whether or not you call him a "great".
Lee is a thoughtful guy who'd rather watch 60 Minutes than some TV talent show, and who has a big black grand piano in his house. He is a keen musician. Perhaps that's helped with his sense of timing.
Lee's retirement announcement today is certainly well-timed. He goes out while still mighty close to the top. Ricky Ponting might take the hint, before he too slips off the perch marked "great" to the one marked "great in his heyday but with consistent lean patches".

NigelC says:
I had the pleasure of being at the MCG when he made his debut for Australia and I will always treasure that experience. A wonderful cricketer for Australia and an inspiration for aspiring cricketers the world over.
Tubesteak says:
The main problem with Lee was that he seemed to be injured every week due to a fractured fingernail or something.
Bruce Reid put himself back together with sticky-tape after he snapped in half. Lee should have done the same and got on with bowling.
GB says:
I find it hard to say a bad word about Bing. You summed him up pretty well Ant. On a bad day his worst was utter garbage but when he had it all clicking, he was fearsome. A rung below the greatest but he never left anything on the field which is all you can ask. Well done on a good career.
Mahhrat says:
Vale Binger. I liked how he changed his action a tad to provide that longevity. It was funny, I always thought the short forms of the game would be his weakness, you can get after him, but then he dominates T20.
Hope to watch him in the Big Bash this summer.
sunny says:
We need another Brett Lee to come through the cricket ranks, and another Lleyton Hewitt to come through the tennis ranks. They always brought a can of aggro to their matches, without being unsportsmanlike. Great aggressive competitors = great entertainment.
Gregg says:
Yep, good article Ant and the style of Cricketer that Australia is always in need of, his value only being reduced by injury outs and no doubt affected his confidence, ability and performances that were not up to scratch.
Does Bollywood await for him?
Little Joe says:
Yes ..... Brett Lee was great in his day ...... unfortunately he retired one year too late and well below his best.
In the recent Tour of West Indies, where Australia only just managed to compete with a lowly ranked team, Lee's bowling figures were substandard for the first 4-ODI's with figures of 5 for 186 off. A 3-wicket haul in the last game gave him some honour and he finished with 8 for 228 off 43.4overs.
But when Australia came up against a talented cricket team from England, Lee and all other Australians really struggled. He took only one wicket in the first 2-ODI's and finished the tour with the figures of 1/137. Unfortunately all Australian bowlers struggled collecting only 13-wickets in the 4-games that were played ..... half as many as the English bowlers.
Ironically, Lee finished the tour with the highest batting average. I don't know if I should commend this or just say that it is more evidence of how pathetic the current Australian batting line up is when Mr. Cricket is omitted!!!
For me Lee is just more evidence of the selecters have for chosing the wrong players at the wrong time, and the bias that they have for NSW Cricketers (eg. Hughes)
Master says:
Ah the good old Australian spirit of if you're good at sport you're a great bloke. Nice to know that having a piano in your house furthers this image too…. Sure pay tribute to a great career, but seeing a guy on channel nine each summer bowl a ball down a pitch doesn't really give a concrete picture of someone's true character. Just another Erick Lindgren situation.
Tropical says:
Your comment:Sad to see Lee go after what has been a great career.
Enjoy your retirement Brett.
But the day does get better because Marr at the SMH is goooorne.
Jeff says:
I remember watching him bowl against the Kiwis at Eden Park in Auckland for a Chappell-Hadlee match in 2005. I had never seen professional batsmen cower and fear as much as they did in that game. Lee took 3 for 5 off 6 overs. I think it was James Marshall he didn't even see the ball and ducked out of the way to be trapped LBW. Sheer brutality. Thanks for some memorable cricket, Brett!
andrew says:
As well as his fiery bowling he could usually be relied on for some handy runs too, and a great boundary rider as well. Will be missed by the australian team and spectators alike.
bullwinkle says:
Yes, he does seem like a good bloke and was fearsome at his best, but someone should have shown him how to click his heels together properly!
Muggles says:
Not a fan.
He didn't invent sledging—not by a long shot—but he certainly carried on a long tradition of unsporting behaviour at times, particularly in his aggressive posturing towards batsmen. And his airy disregard for the umpire's decision on many occasions.
(Yes, yes, I am an old fuddy-duddy who believes your opponent should be treated with respect. That it really is about how you play the game.)
Also? Sick to death of WeatBix commercials. Or Nutrigrain. Or whatever the hell he and the team are selling right now.
Justin of Earlwood says:
The biggest problem was that when he started leaking runs, his captains didn't try to stem the flow & let the pressure build again before going back to an attacking field. They just wanted him to run in & send it down quick & intimidate.
It cost him a lot in the stats department, & probably contributed to his lack of accuracy as he was forever feeling the need to adjust line &/or length. The bloke was inside-edged to the boundary that many times it was ridiculous. A constant fine-leg could have shaved his average by 5 & could have allowed him to be a more accurate bowler.
Waz says:
I went to school with Brett and his brothers. What a wonderful, down to earth bloke he was. It's been great seeing his cricketing career go as well as it has. He has always been a great sportsman, he will be missed.
Haydz says:
a great career. I remember seeing him in his early days and talking to friends about whether or not flat out fast was all that effective - and lets face it, with McGrath at the other end of the pitch bolwing in tandem, it did make Brett look slightly less impressive, only because Glenn was just so damn good at hitting the same spot on the pitch every ball. Lee never had that accuracy, but he didnt need it as much.
Well done Brett - retire happy and I wish you all the best.
wayne says:
Wasn't a fan really until the 2005 ashes. The way he and Warne held that thing together as the ship was sinking was remarkable with bat as much as ball. The image of him in tears at the end of the Edgbaston test is one that will stay with me forever. Onya Binga.
Ian McMinn says:
I took my son to the MCG when Lee destroyed Tendukar (20 something runs). Lee beat him for pace and the little master was belittled to hooking to cow corner. The best thing about Lee he was never an embarresment. My son worshipped him and I'm told, some years later, smashed him off a half pace long hop. Robbie was 17. He tells me Lee (at Mosman nets) was so pissed off he went back to three-quarter run up. My lad never saw that delivery but I might add it did not hurt him. Only made my kid better and Lee - he laughed in a well done kind of way.
Only the greats can instill so much pride.
stephen says:
I met him once when I was a Salesman,(Capitals, thank you) briefly, at Barclay's Men's Wear at Centrepoint in Sydney, (I sold 2 pairs of undies and spent the rest of the time vacuuming the counters) and Brett was introducing his own range on garments to stock.
He was 6 foot something tall, quite intimidating, actually, (this was in about 2002) and I thought right off that he seemed to have more in his head than he had in impetus.
He's a still person, and he should design things.
He's very clever, I think.
James says:
Will never forget Lee. I was a knocker when he first came onto the scene, but have been forecced to eat my words. Will never forget his batting in the '05 ashes and his general good sportsmanship that series. Going to miss seeing the wide brim hat on the boundary that seems to have gone out of style with all other players.
Gavin says:
"Lee is a thoughtful guy who'd rather watch 60 Minutes than some TV talent show"
If you were being serious I think you'd admit that he's probably the first guy of the current crop most likely to put his hand up to star on these kind of shows..
Apart from that I agree with the rest of the article. For mine Brett Lee was always close but not close enough. Most of all I'm sick of hearing in the news how he bowled consistently over the 100mph

For years, fishermen and sailors have reported seeing squid "flying" across the surface of the sea, and every now and again someone gets lucky and manages to nab a few photographs of cephalopods in action. It's only now, though, that marine biologists from Hokkaido University have discovered exactly how these squids squirt water out fast enough to propel themselves through the air at up to 11.2 metres per second -- faster than Usain Bolt's top speed of 10.31 metres per second.
Jun Yamamoto and his team had been sailing around the northwest Pacific Ocean, 600km off the coast of Japan, looking for schools of squid. They spotted about 100 20cm squid swimming just below the surface of the ocean, but as they approached around 20 of the squid launched themselves into the air, gliding around 30m in ten seconds. That the squid took flight as the researchers' boat approached has led Yamamoto to speculate that flying is a safety mechanism, to help them espace predators.

Bought this product 20 days back. While removing the sticker on Registration Key, the key numbers got totally damaged. They have a lousy way of using a sticker on top of paper to protect the Registration Key!I am on Trial version till the end of July. I contacted customer care of Trust Port. They have promised me that the issue will be resolved, but the progress is tardy. As the days pass I am losing my hope. Is my money down the drain?
I was planning to format my hard disk as it was becoming very hot due to some reasons like (i) it had become older (5 years) &
(ii) due to viruses.
The battery of my laptop lasted for maximum 30-45 mins when fully charged due to the above reasons.
After installing Trustport Internet Security all the viruses were repaired & those which were irreparable were removed.
It scans very fast & updates automatically.
According to me you can definitely go for it without any hesitation.
Well, though I received my product within the stipulated time yet this time Flipkart was a little late than usual but that was not a problem at all.
Coming back to Trustport Internet Security...... It is hassle-free!!!!!!!! Super easy to install, super easy to use and gives you the least trouble. It does its work without bothering you at all and while scanning it doesn't slow down the computer at all provided you dont have a computer belonging to the paleolitic age. A very good buy!!!! I recommend!!!!!!
I had bought this antivirus quite a while ago and i had a great experience using it. The ui was easy to use and this antivirus is really trustworthy. The only thing is that it scans ur pc with a slow speed so if u r tight on budget this av is great for u and if u want the best go for " QUICKHEAL " .
Lastly Flipkart service is very good , the product reached me within 48 Hrs . Very happy with the way flipkart delivered this product. KEEP IT UP Flipkart ! :D
good internet security & anti-virus... i'm satisfied :) really great,,, Its works great.It also fastens the computer.It easily detects virus in storage devices as well as boot sector and deletes them.It also scans the memory which is its great feature.
Please buy this product.I guarantee it will provide more security online and offline more than you expected.,,

Winsor Lowe grew up in rural New Hampshire, received a B.A. from Middlebury College in 1994, then spent several years bouncing back and forth between Montana and New England as a research assistant on studies of wolves, salamanders, and stream insects. He received a M.S. from The University of Montana in 1997, where he worked on the thermal ecology of stream insects. Winsor's dissertation at Dartmouth College and postdoc at The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies focused on the spatial ecology of salamanders in headwater stream networks. Winsor has been at The University of Montana since 2005, where he is a member of the programs in Organismal Biology and Ecology and Wildlife Biology.
Along with an amazing group of students and collaborators, Winsor studies how dispersal affects the evolution, population biology, and community ecology of stream animals. He is especially interested in the ecological and evolutionary drivers of individual dispersal patterns (e.g., stay v. leave, go short v. go long) and how these proximal drivers influence emergent population and community dynamics. Winsor tries to make his research relevant to large-scale management and conservation challenges facing stream ecosystems, such as climate change, timber harvest, and headwater fragmentation. He also just really enjoys walking along small streams and seeing what is under rocks.
Serita Frey graduated with a Ph.D. from GDPE in 1999. Her dissertation was focused on microbial community composition and soil organic matter dynamics in agroecosystems. She joined the faculty in the Department of Natural Resources & the Environment at the University of New Hampshire in 2002. Dr. Frey chairs the Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science (NRESS) Ph.D. program at UNH and teaches several soils courses (Studio Soils, Soil Ecology).
Her research focuses on how anthropogenic stressors (e.g., climate change, nitrogen deposition, agricultural management, invasive species) affect the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities and microbial-mediated carbon and nitrogen cycles.
Kurt Fausch has worked at the interface between the ecology and management of stream ecosystems, with a focus on stream fish. Most of his research has been collaborative with graduate students and colleagues, and has focused on the effects of nonnative trout and salmon on stream fish and stream-riparian ecosystems, management and restoration of stream fishes and their habitat at local to riverscape scales, and linkages between stream and riparian food webs.
Kurt is a Professor in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, where he has worked for 31 years. He has taught courses in population and community ecology, fish ecology, fisheries science, and ichthyology, and is currently teaching courses in fish conservation and sustaining river hydroecosystems. His collaborative research has taken him throughout Colorado, the West, and worldwide, including to Hokkaido in northern Japan where he worked with colleagues over a 15-year period. These experiences were chronicled in the documentary film RiverWebs, which has been broadcast to >100 million homes in the U.S. on PBS. He has received several awards for his research and outreach, including the first International Fisheries Science Prize from the World Council of Fisheries Societies (2008) and two Awards of Excellence from the American Fisheries Society (2010). He was named an ISI Highly Cited Researcher in 2010. He serves on the Independent Science Advisory Board of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, which advises managers and policy makers in the Columbia River basin about fish and wildlife conservation. During 2012-13, Kurt was Acting Director of the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology.
Kurt is currently writing a book to help the general public understand the interconnections between streams and rivers and their landscapes, and the importance of conserving these ecosystems.

ND, SD Colleges Collaborate at Engineering Research SummitGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Engineering faculty and grad students from three different colleges are learning from each other at the second annual Engineering Research Summit.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Engineering faculty and grad students from three different colleges are learning from each other at the second annual Engineering Research Summit.
The summit was started to help create opportunities for collaboration between North Dakota State, South Dakota State and UND.
This is the first year graduate students are a part of the summit, helping present research and compare notes with other universities.
UND Graduate Student Camerin Hahn is excited to be sharing his research with people he has never met before.
"The reason I'm here is (I'm) presenting a project that my master's thesis is on," Hahn said.
Right now the graduate is presenting work on the imaging of breast tissue without traditional x-ray or mammogram techniques.
"There's a large area in breast cancer research and in electrical engineering. We're developing tools for doctor's to diagnose with," Hahn said.
Hahn is one of more than 100 graduates, professors and deans sharing information at the Engineering Research Summit at UND.
"All of our engineering programs are strong within their education base and research but often don't have collaborators in their areas of specialty to work with. So this is an opportunity for them to meet people working complimentary to what they're doing," Gary Smith with the NDSU College of Engineering and Architecture said.
Each university took turns presenting specific and general research they are working on, making is a learning experience for all involved.
"The main advantage of this kind of thing is the faculty knowledge of what other faculty are doing," Hesham El-Rewini with the UND School of Engineering and Mines said.
"I didn't realize this was going on up here, that can interface directly with what we're doing and bring in a whole other dimension to try and address some of the problems we are trying to solve," SDSU Associate Dean for Research Dennis Helder said.
"You never see what's going on at other universities unless you actively seek it out and this is one way to actively seek it out," Hahn said.
Faculty and staff from all three universities say they hope this summit will help with collaboration in research in the future.
