People visiting the Capitol during the legislative session notice a substantial number who are wearing a badge of some kind or another. The badge is designed to help identify the role that person plays in the process. Anyone wishing to testify before a Legislative committee must either be registered as a lobbyist or be speaking on their own behalf as an individual citizen. If the person is a lobbyist he must wear the badge to identify who it is they represent.
Some lobbyists represent private sector employers. There are others who work for the public sector. The public sector people are those who speak on behalf of the various agencies of state government. Their badge has a different appearance and can easily be differentiated from those working for one of the various organizations or interest groups.
The badge itself is not the key focus but the entity being represented is. The Secretary of State has the responsibility for maintaining a record of those who lobby. That information is accessible to the public. We have occasionally written about the role lobbyists play in the development of public policy. We look to them as a source of valuable information. When that information is reliable we develop trust in them. We quickly learn who is trustworthy and who is not.
The relationship between the legislative member and the lobbyist is a two-way street. It is gratifying when a lobbyist not only speaks but is willing to listen also.
Last session, I was contacted by a lobbyist representing a national organization. He asked me to be the prime sponsor of a bill that would promote the interest of his client. The subject of the bill was animals and since I was a member of the Agriculture Committee he thought I might be interested. In looking at the proposed piece of legislation it was easy to see the fingerprints of the Humane Society of the United States. I told him I was absolutely not interested in even having my name associated with it.
We then got into a conversation about the Humane Society of the United States (not to be confused with local animal shelters that might have similar names). He had been hired to represent them but did not know much about them. With a name like that he made some assumptions, but that was all. I pointed out that in my estimation they are one of the greatest threats currently confronting animal agriculture today. One should not be misled by their innocent sounding name.
I further went on to say how disappointed I was in him that he would even take such an organization as the Humane Society of the United States as a client. Agriculture is our number one industry and animal agriculture is an important part of it. It just makes no sense to be associated with an entity whose goal is the destruction of something so important to our state and our precious way of life.
After leaving me he apparently tried to get another member of the Senate Ag Committee to take the bill. That senator apparently delivered a lecture similar to mine.
The story does have a happy ending. A couple of days later he stopped to let me know that he and his partner had decided to inform the Humane Society of the United States that they would no longer be representing them as their lobbyist.
On October 10th, 2012, I sent a letter to Jason Gant our South Dakota Secretary of State asking him to investigate whether or not the South Dakota Municipal League's use of public funds, labeled as "membership dues," to advocate for political positions was a legal use of taxpayer dollars. Specifically, I questioned whether or not the SDML, a nonprofit corporation, was allowed to use public funds to influence election outcomes by encouraging South Dakota voters to vote "Yes on Referred Law 14".
Secretary Gant, in turn, referred my inquiry to our Attorney General, Marty Jackley because he is charged with investigating campaign finance violations relating to a statewide ballot question and to prosecute any violation thereof. On November 1st, 2012, Attorney General Jackley issued an official opinion (No. 12-04) entitled South Dakota Municipal League Action on Referred Measures. My specific question was, "Whether the SDM's use of funds, derived in part from the membership dues of its member municipalities, to advocate for South Dakota Referred Law #14 is a violation of law?"
Here is why I asked the question. In 2007 members of the South Dakota Legislature enacted SDCL 12-27-20 entitled Expenditure of public funds to influence election outcome prohibited. It states: "The state, an agency of the state, and the governing body of a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state may not expend or permit the expenditure of public funds for the purpose of influencing the nomination or election of any candidate, or for the petitioning of a ballot question on the ballot or the adoption or defeat of any ballot question. This section may not be construed to limit the freedom of speech of any officer or employee of the state or such political subdivisions in his or her personal capacity. This section does not prohibit the state, its agencies, or the governing body of any political subdivision of the state from presenting factual information solely for the purpose of educating the voters on a ballot question". This statute specifically prohibits using public funds to influence an election outcome.
However, Attorney General Jackley states in his opinion that the Legislature should have repealed two more specific provisions regarding municipal authority-SDCL 9-17-1 and SDCL 9-17-3 before enacting the more general statute (SDCL 12-27-20). In other words, we have conflicting laws regarding whether or not the South Dakota Municipal League would be prohibited from using the annual dues from municipalities to advocate positions on ballot measures. AG Jackley states in his official opinion, "If it (the Legislature) intended to prohibit the Municipal League from advocating on such measures, it could have repealed SDCL 19-17-1 and 19-17-3 or specifically included "municipal organization" in the list of entities to which SDCL 12-27-20 applies. It did not do so." Therefore, he concludes that the answer to my question is "no" because the more specific provisions of SDCL 9-17-1 (Formation of municipality organization authorized—Purposes) and 9-17-3 (Municipal payment of dues and delegate expenses for organization) authorize the SDML to advocate on measures beneficial to municipalities. Further he specifies that "These statutes supersede the more general provision of SDCL 12-27-20 prohibiting municipalities from expending public funds to advocate a position on a referred or initiated measure".
Moreover, AG Jackley affirms that the Legislature is presumed to know the law in existence when it enacted SDCL 12-27-20. Clearly, there was a failure to eliminate conflicting laws during the 2007 Legislative Session. This is a situation that needs to be rectified in the 2013 Legislative Session. Thank you for your interest in State Government. Please feel free to contact me at (605) 352-9862 or email@example.com.

Here is stuff from past few days:
Hey fallen, amazing stuff, i like your lines in particular. See ya.
Creusa- n1frit - DanLiimatta - Fallen - Suz- Hu-ha
Great perspective on the last piece (this one with flying lady). You could make here pose a little bit loose, more dynamic. It should be a dynamic scene, you know a jet fighter is a fast piece of shit . So maybe give her pose based on more curved gesture (i did a small over painting to show you what I mean). Also you need to decide how to guide a viewer eye. Now your composition seems to be a little distracting. I mean, I don't know what is a main subject. This girl or the plain perhaps. This thunder seems to put main focus on the female, but in other hand jet is taking big fragment of the pic. Well, that's all of my complaining, hope you find something helpful here. Your other studies are very nice, as always . Especially pencils. Keep posting mate, cheers
Liberty Thank you
Ramalooke Thanks mate, actually all the confusion about it is because i never planned it to be a full painting all i wanted to do at the first versions was to make a 1.5-2 hour sketch of a girl that's flying, after that i tried to put there a plane cause i wanted to draw one and didn't want to start a new pic for it.
So in the end i'm stuck with a sexy falling gal (she's supposed to fall from the sky now) and a weird jet sketch.
Anyways thanks for the effort with those overpaints it just teaches that one should plan your paintings and drawings.
here are the stuff from the past two days.

Ramalooke thanks mate, i gotta do some more gestures too.
here is a different take on the falling gal wip and a doodle from today, i'm just trying to make some kind of a style/process that i will be comfortable with.
Cool effect on the hairs ;3 u used a selection tool to get those hard edges between values? About the WIP. You need to make her look at this guy, it's strange feeling when I see her looking at me while she reaches out toward this guy. It's almost like she's a some sort telepath and she knows where he is without looking at him. And you need to fix this dude arms. Right now it looks like a sleeves with muscle pattern. I hope my crits don't annoy you in any way, keep working
good job on reiterating the falling girl paint. i think this composition works better as opposed to the one with the vehicle. and omg... those metal renderings on the studies are fking good! D:
available for commission/work
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
rolling, rolling... Keep on posting! Try some sideviews and aboves instead of all the chocolate photographer angles from the front!
and some of the following cast sculptures to train other angles:
its always good to plan your painting from the initial Thumb/composition and go from there then to add environment as the last thing, just as I learned on my last painting.
The guy looks better then the jet though

stuff from today...
a doodle inspired by Bisley and a study, gotta do some more pencil studies tomorrow.
Just summerising July's work....wow crap.
Wow! Everything in here is looking great. I love how your cg style is shaping up, and the line weight you use on your figures.
Have you ever tried laying a quick texture over a digital painting? It can help things look less wet and hard. I love that first image in post 648. I hope August is just as productive for you.
Hay Alex, thats just mad amount of work.
Sometimes maxilla and mandible on your faces look just wierd, Im not sure, like its not in harmony with the rest of the face. I would like to hear your thought on that. Cheers

Hi everyone. I'm almost through week 8 and so have started to focus on the end of my challenge and have some questions I hope someone here can answer.
(1) What do you do on day 84? Is that a free day? Do you end the challenge on day 83 then?
(2) The changes that people say happen in the last few weeks when your hard work starts to pay off...what form does that usually take? what kind of changes should I look for if I have followed the program by the book from day 1? Is it body fat, appearance, size? what? I feel like I've been getting slow but steady results all along so maybe this doesn't apply to me?
(3) I started this challenge with a goal to reduce my body fat from obese to normal or at least overweight. I have lost 10 lbs so far and gone from a size 10/12 to a size 6/8 but the body fat on my omron hand held monitor has only gone down 1%. I know now that those things are not very reliable but since I started with that and didn't do the caliper measurements, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions of what I can do to try to measure for that goal.
That is amazing that you have lost 2 sizes!! I think I would go by that instead of focusing on the hand held because those are not always accurate. Way to go! You are really doing great!
Thanks Twinmom.
Regarding question #1 above, I meant what do you do on day 83 if it is your free day? Did others skip the free day and workout or did you just end the day before?
It depends. Are you taking your pictures that day? If so, then have your free day after the pictures. If the next day then you'd be smart to skip the free day until you do your pictures.

Give Your Web Site A Tune Up
Originally published: 07.01.07 by Guy Kawasaki
Changing a few things can make customers more comfortable interacting with your company online.
Some sites don't allow people to search. This is okay for simple sites where a site map suffices, but that's seldom the case.
Your Web site should do more than offer information about your company. Some customers want to interact with your company using online tools. Think about the modern family. Spouses travel, work long hours, and are busy with lots of other activities. Often they use the Web and e-mail to review options for major purchases and repairs. If your Web site does any of the following silly or stupid things, you should change it to make things easier for these customers.
1. Enforced immediate registration. Requiring a new user to register and provide a modicum of information is a reasonable request — I just think you should do it after you've sucked the person in. Most sites require that registration as the first step, and this puts a barrier between you and your customer. At the very least, companies could ask for name and e-mail address but not require it until a later time.
2. The long URL. When you want to send people a URL, the site generates a URL that's 70 characters long — or more! When you copy, paste, and e-mail this URL, a line break is added, so people cannot click on it to go to the intended location.
Here's a URL for a billiard table copied and pasted from the Costco site:
Just how many billiard table models could Costco be selling? It's good to have an easy naming convention for URLs. MySpace, for example, creates easy-to-remember URLs like this: http://www.myspace.com/guykawasaki.
Use this test: Can people communicate your site's URLs to others easily over the phone?
3. Windows that don't generate URLs. Have you ever wanted to point people to a page, but the page has no URL? You've got a window open that you want to tell someone about, but you'd have to write an essay to explain how to get that window open again. Did someone at the company decide that it didn't want referrals, links, and additional traffic? This is the best argument I can think of for not using frames.
4. The unsearchable Web site. Some sites don't allow people to search. This is O.K. for simple sites where a site map suffices, but that's seldom the case. If your site has a site map that goes deeper than one level, it probably needs a search box.
5. Limiting contact to e-mail. I love e-mail. I live and die by e-mail, but there are times I want to call the company, or maybe even send something using postal mail. I've found many companies only allow you to send an e-mail via a Web form in the "Contact Us" page. Why don't companies call this page "Don't Contact Us" and at least be honest?
6. Lack of feeds and e-mail lists. When people are interested in your company, they will want to receive information about your products and services. This should be as easy as possible, meaning that you provide both e-mail and RSS feeds for content and newsletters.
7. User names cannot contain the "@" character. In other words, a user name cannot be your e-mail address. I am a member of hundreds of sites. I can't remember if my user name is kawasaki, gkawasaki, guykawasaki, or kawasaki3487. I do know what my e-mail address is, so just let me use that as my user name.
8. Case sensitive user names and passwords. I know: User names and passwords that are case sensitive are more secure, but I'm more likely to type in my user name and password incorrectly.
9. E-mails without signatures. There have been many times that I wanted to immediately call the sender or send him something, but there's no signature. Also, when I book an appointment with a person, I like to note his contact information in case I need to change it. Communication would be so much easier if everyone put a complete signature in their e-mail that contains their name, company, address, phone, and e-mail address.
On a corporate level, communication would be so much easier if companies stop sending e-mails with a warning not to respond because the sender's address is not monitored. I don't mean they should not include the warning. I mean they should monitor the address.
10. Supporting only Windows Internet Explorer. Actually, I'm not nearly as vehement about this as you might think. Supporting Macintosh, Safari, and other Windows browsers is a lot of work, so this is your call. If you define your market as only the people who use Windows Internet Explorer, so be it. You may have to really invest some effort into this one, but all the other items in this list are stupidly simple.

Speaking at his weekly media conference ahead of the visit of Southampton on Sunday, Jose Mourinho confirmed that Samuel Eto'o and David Luiz will be unavailable for the game.
Eto'o was stretchered off on Tuesday night in Basel, and the manager said today the striker is likely to be out for around two weeks with a grade one muscular injury. Meanwhile, the game also comes too soon for David Luiz, who missed the defeat in Switzerland with a knee injury. The Brazilian defender did, however, return to full training today.
Mourinho told the journalists present that though he never willingly tolerates a defeat, the squad had reacted positively to Champions League disappointment earlier in the season and he was hopeful they would do the same again.
Other topics discussed included Sunday's high-flying opponents and the vital role his squad will play in the coming weeks. Mourinho explained his side, who had stayed a night longer than usual abroad and had trained upon arrival back in England on Wednesday, enjoyed a day off yesterday that was, on today's evidence, of great benefit to the manager.
'The training was really good today,' Mourinho reported.
'I could not just train tactically with them but also communicate and analyse their individual match performances and situation, from their point of view. This is very important for me.
'We still have some more work to do tomorrow and hopefully on Sunday we will be ready. If I forget the performance from our last match the situation is fine. We are close to the league leaders, we have qualified for the last 16 in the Champions League and we are in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup.
'Of course I didn't like the performance (against Basel), but I have to live with it, especially in a team without years and years to work together, or without enough maturity to keep that stability match after match, and with some fatigue added. We will try everything not to repeat it.'
In the wake of recent transfer rumours, Mourinho told the press he has no interest in signing any strikers in January and he would finish the season with his current frontline of Fernando Torres, Eto'o and Demba Ba. He went on to explain everyone would have a part to play in the next three games, including Ashley Cole, yet to feature since his return from injury.
'We have lots of matches, so now is the time for the squad and now is the time for everybody to feel they have a chance,' the Portuguese said.
'We play on Sunday, then Wednesday, then Saturday, against Southampton, Sunderland and Stoke - the SSS week - so everybody will have a chance.
'Ashley will play for sure. His attitude is phenomenal as always. He has the same attitude today as when he trained with me for the first time. He went through a difficult period, yes, and (Cesar) Azpilicueta is playing fantastic, but Ashley's attitude is an example.'
When quizzed for his thoughts on fifth-placed Southampton, and his opposite number Mauricio Pochettino, our manager said he was not surprised at the Saints' impressive progressive this season.
'Mauricio started his good work with them last season. He's a very good manager. He had the possibility to buy players and adapt them to his needs, and when you finish your first season you are much better prepared to understand the needs and profile of your team.
'The team is very compact and very solid. Can they finish in the top four? It will be difficult, as it will be difficult for the six title contenders to finish in the top four. But for sure the team is very good and they will have a very good season.
'It will be a difficult match for us, but, normally, it will be even more difficult for them.'

Retro glam looks of the past are back in a big way-and not just on runway supermodels. Fashionable women across America are sporting a multitude of styles from previous decades, but with a few contemporary twists. Try these cost-effective tips from celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose. He can help you join the vintage-meets-modern revolution. Makeup? Make down-Update your look by eradicating that made-up look.

To create a look that screams vintage glamor, experiment with this season's popular apricot or pale pink hues.Lighten to brighten-This season, less really is more.

Lea Michele: Too Skinny Since Cory Monteith Tragedy?by Free Britney at .
Glee star Lea Michele stepped out for her first red carpet appearance since the tragic death of boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith on Monday night.
The 27-year-old actress looked beautiful and strong despite the devastation she's been through, but onlookers also noticed that she looks very thin.
More so than she ever has. Take a look:
Lea showed off her petite frame in a cut-out Calvin Klein design, revealing some cleavage and underboob with just a peek of her rock-hard abs.
Michele's toned and defined tummy was exposed through a slit in the dress, which was certainly a daring choice regardless of your views on her weight.
If she has lost too much weight, it's understandable given the circumstances. A source said that Michele is slowly moving on from Monteith's death.
"She talks about Cory constantly," the insider said, admitting that getting past it has been a hard, long process. "She tries to remember the good times."
What do you think? Has she lost too much weight? Or is she just looking a little skinnier than usual in an outfit that really accentuates it more than most?

She has always been small, it's just the dress making her look even smaller. Stop picking on the poor girl.
Some older pictures of Lea:
People need to leave her be. Thr hardest part about being famous is when tragedy strikes its near impossible to have privacy and she needed it. I lost my best friend to an overdose. Losing someone you really love to their demons is unexplainably hard, especially when you think theyre clean. Thats my case as well. Shes doing fantastic for someone who lost the love of her life and im proud of her for holding her head up and continuing her life and carweer. Maybe she lost some weight maybe not, either way what do you expect? Shes still beautiful and her voice can bring you to tears with any ballad she sings
Dude. Leave her alone! Do you really think it's your stupid websites place to tell her that she looks too thin? Gee, The guy she was planning her LIFE with, JUST died! Give her some time to accept it. She does not need the stress, or the drama of people now commenting on her weight.
Everyone needs to just leave her alone...a lot of girls lose weight after a breakup.. her boyfriend died,Thats a lot worse and not only has she had to deal with it on a personal level,she's also had to suffer through it on the show...all while keeping a smile on her face. People need to give the girl some props,I think she is a very strong woman

Put on by the Sparks Parks and Recreation, a drop-in playground program is being held this summer at Ardmore Park on the corner of Oddie Boulevard and 12th Street.
For just a $1, elementary-age kids are invited to play board games and sports and participate in group craft activities Monday through Friday. And considering the national average cost of daycare is $611 a month according to Runzheimer International, the program offers a viable option to parents who have to work all day and cannot afford the monthly fees of daycare.
Head counselor Sami Hanson, 17, who has volunteered for this program for the past three years, said she feels that it's a great service to children so they can get the attention they need when both parents are gone.
"When their parents go to work, the kids need a place to go," Hanson said, explaining that about 15 kids show up every day for the program. "It's nice to be there for the kids so they know they don't have to be by themselves."
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the kids are taken to swim at nearby pools at Oppio Park on 18th Street and Deer Park on the corner of Rock Boulevard and Prater Way.
Lunch is also provided for free by the Food Bank of Northern Nevada Kid's Cafe program. Meals are well balanced and nutritious, with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk, cutting down on junk food that kids might eat when not supervised by their parents.
FBNN staff members agree that the playground program is a great opportunity for parents who are used to only having to provide one meal a day when school is in session.
"It's hard when summer comes around and parents who work all day don't have time to feed their kids," said Taiya Satcher, a FBNN staff member, noting that they typically hand out 70 to 80 lunches each day. "It's great just to be able to feed the kids."
Cindy Brantner, the recreation specialist for the city of Sparks, said the program, which has been running for the past 10 years, is a safe summer option for kids to remain active.
"This program really keeps kids from getting into trouble," Brantner said. "It allows them to interact with other kids and gets them outside of the house where they would be limited to watching TV."
And while budget cuts have been affecting other community programs, Brantner said the program has not been touched.
"This is important to the community," Brantner said. "It helps out a lot of families that really need it."
The program is run on a drop-in basis and children are free to come and go.
Most group field trips are coordinated at nearby venues that are within walking distance for the children and lasts until Aug. 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.
For more information, visit the city of Sparks Web site at www.ci.sparks.nv.us.

March 7 — Share a favorite recipe from your mother or grandmother's kitchen. Why is this dish your favorite? If you don't have one that's been passed down, describe a favorite holiday or other meal you shared with your family.
I've been slowly sharing the family recipes from my mother and grandmother on Friday posts, so I'll not repeat myself here.
My grandmother LeMaster used to have the biggest meals when we would gather for Christmas time or Easter. I can remember the noodles and mashed potatoes - the noodles were always very thick, almost dumpling like. One dish that she made that I don't see much of any more was hominy. I'm pretty sure that my first exposure to it was at her house. Beef and noodles were another dish I can remember.
My grandmother Wright was the one who started me on enjoying cottage cheese. She liked to eat it with canned pineapple. I will eat it with either milk and sugar, or with pepper, I don't care for fruit in mine.
I know there are others but at the moment I'm drawing a blank.

it should also be noted that anyone can start a new round; but please do so with a New Topic, using hogwash and your proposed word in the Subject line.
we usually use an additional new thread for the list of definitions, and another for the results -- otherwise things just get too muddled, what with all the whinging and digressions, etc.

Explosive Fire in Cathedral City
Adrianna Weingold
CREATED Dec. 6, 2011
Cathedral City - An explosive fire destroys 8 businesses overnight at a Cathedral City strip mall.
The fire started around midnight at Date Palm Plaza on the corner of Date Palm Drive and Converse Road.
Ivvon Romo watches as firefighters try to clean up the mess left behind after a massive fire ripped through this shopping center in Cathedral City destroying her families restaurant.
"It's horrible. It's like my home," Ivvon Romo said. "This is where I spend most of my time. It's horrible. My parents started it from scratch. We built from the floor up and now it's gone."
The fire engulfed several stores destroying 8 of them. Ivvon's family has owned Taqueria San Miguel for 16 years. The 12 employees who work for them, now out of a job.
Damages to the surrounding shops is so intense that owners say they still won't be able to open for at least a couple of months.
"I got a lot of people working for me for almost 14 years and they kind of wondering what to do next and I don't know what to tell them," Carlos Romo said.
It took 42 firefighters from 17 companies and hour and a half to put out the fire.
At one point smoke and flames were so intense they caused a back draft explosion, knocking the back wall of Ming's Chinese Restaurant off it's foundation.
"We believe that last night we had an attic full of smoke that contained a lot of flammable gases and simply put, it just ignited," Battalion Chief John Muhr said.
All firefighters escaped the explosion unharmed, the cause and cost of the fire are under investigation.

Lottery officials announced on Monday that the jackpot-winning ticket worth $338 million was sold at Eagle Liquors in Passaic, New Jersey.
The estimated cash value of the ticket is $211 million. This is the fourth largest jackpot in Powerball history and the cash value is the third largest in Powerball history.
The New Jersey Lottery spokeswoman advised the winner to take their time to seek professional financial advice and figure out what to do with their millions before claiming them.
In the meantime, they should sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place. The winner can have the ticket validated at any authorized lottery retailer.
Someone else in New Jersey was lucky enough to win a second prize-winning ticket that worth $1 million. That ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven on Franklin Turnpike in Mahwah, Bergen County.
And five people won $10,000 prizes in the Garden state, according to a lottery news release.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Turnpike says two million-dollar winners were sold in the Keystone State.
The Powerball record was set in November, when the jackpot was $587.5 million.
An earlier report from Phillyburbs.com had South Jersey residents excited that the winner could be among them. The website said the winning ticket came from Love's Travel Stop and Country Store in Bordentown Township, Burlington County, where the manager said a truck driver called to say he had the jackpot-winner and asked for information about claiming the prize. That report apparently turned out to be untrue.
The winning numbers from Saturday night are 17-29-31-52-53, and the Powerball is 31.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

Our Campuses
Stevenson University has two beautiful campuses located just outside of Baltimore in Stevenson and Owings Mills, Maryland. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors get the best of both worlds-- the history and beauty of a rural campus (the Greenspring Campus) and the convenience and liveliness of a more urban location (the Owings Mills Campus and Owings Mills North Campus). Classes are held on all campuses and the University provides a free shuttle service that runs between locations throughout the day.
Greenspring Campus
Stevenson's original campus, the Greenspring Campus, lies in the scenic Greenspring Valley. Although surrounded by horse farms and estate homes, the 60-acre wooded campus is just 12 miles from downtown Baltimore. Home to the University's state-of-the-art science laboratories, video and art studios, gymnasium, and 350-seat theatre, the Greenspring Campus is the academic hub of the University community.
Owings Mills Campus
Located just six miles (and about 12 minutes) from the Greenspring Campus, the Owings Mills Campus includes 10 residential buildings, an assortment of classrooms and study lounges, the 10,000-square foot Ratcliffe Community Center, the Caves Sports and Wellness Center (former training facility of the Baltimore Ravens), the expansive Rockland Center, and the School of Business and Leadership. Adjacent to this campus is the Owings Mills North Campus, which features the School of Design.

NEW ORLEANS — The Ravens are in the Super Bowl.
The Bears are not.
A link between the teams is Corey Graham. But he isn't the same Corey Graham who called Soldier Field home.
That was Corey Graham, special teams ace.
This is Corey Graham, starting cornerback.
Purple never has been so flattering.
To tell Graham's story, we have to start in 2007, when the Bears drafted him in the fifth round out of New Hampshire. He was coming off a broken ankle but stuck with the team because of his instincts and toughness.
In 2008, he got a chance to play, starting nine games at cornerback ahead of Nathan Vasher, who was inefficient and then injured. Graham showed a knack for making plays, but the coaching staff had concerns about his speed and athleticism.
So the next season they tried him at safety for a couple of weeks. When that experiment flamed out, it was back to cornerback, where he inexplicably was at the bottom of the depth chart.
From that point on, Graham was a special teams player with the Bears. No more, no less.
And in hindsight, you can say it was a clear mismanagement of personnel. Special teams imprisoned Graham.
"I tried to be the best special teams player in the league," said Graham, who was selected to the Pro Bowl in that capacity after the 2011 season. "When you're doing that, sometimes you get labeled like that. Sometimes it's hard to get that label off."
It took a while for the fact Graham had been mislabeled to become apparent.
When Graham was an unrestricted free agent in 2011, teams were not exactly throwing wads of cash at him. The Bears valued him so much as a special teams player, they paid him $1.5 million for one season. He played well on defense in training camp but still was overlooked.
This past offseason, the Bears wanted him back again, and the Lions and Seahawks also were interested.
The Ravens were the big bidder, however, and Graham went for the cheese.
But even the Ravens did not realize Graham was more than a special teamer. They signed him only after they struck out in their bid to sign Blake Costanzo, who replaced Graham in Chicago.
"Corey Graham was a guy that we brought in because he was a special teamer," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "He had been to the Pro Bowl (as a special teams player), but when he had played (defense) for the Bears, he had played very good football.
"He wanted an opportunity, and we saw some things during the OTAs and minicamps that he could play. He has the height, weight and speed that we look for at the position, (and) then when he got his opportunity, he stepped in."
Still, Graham was behind some talented players, and the prospects for him becoming a starter were slim. He was the fourth cornerback going into the season.

Wowzers! After moving to San Francisco it seemed I would never find a hair dresser who could do color and cut and be creative and all be the same person. Cary has officially been put in charge of all aspects of my hair. He has a way of figuring out exactly what my hair needs and what I want even if I do a terrible job explaining it. A good hairdresser is so hard to find but an amazing one (Cary) is a miracle!
Best Colorist in San Francisco – As a person with pre-mature greying, I never thought I would get my hair colored. I thought I would just have to live with it. I read about grey hair blending technique that Cary specializes in, and I took a leap of faith. The results were great...people ask me what I done to look so much younger without putting their finger on the fact that I had colored my hair.
Cary is a talented, efficient professional who I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for an excellent colorist. He's conveniently located in the heart of Union Square.
AMAZING Hairstylist and Colorist – Finding a good hair stylist and colorist is always tricky but I've been going to Cary for almost 2 years and have no complaints! He is very honest and always looking to make sure you look your best when you leave the saloon. Every time he has colored, highlighted or just cut my hair the compliments flow in once seen by friends and family. Having thick and curly hair it is great to find someone in the city who knows how to cut my hair and also style it to compliment my features. You can't go wrong in choosing to give him a try!!!
Look No Further... – After moving from NYC to the Bay Area last year, I was terrified to go on the hunt for a new hair stylist. The situation was like trying to date again after the dissolution of a long-term relationship. Then, along came Cary.
I am a neurotic and insecure narcissist who pays more attention to my hair than is necessary or normal. Cary, with his soft-spoken and pleasant demeanor was so affable and easy to get along with right up front. No attitude. No frills. He did exactly what I had asked for. When finished, my hair looked phenomenal.
The true test, as we all know, is day # 2. Usually this is the moment when you know if you will go back or not. The answer was an emphatic "YES!" My hair looked amazing and it grew out perfect.
I could not be happier with Cary! He is the best at what he does and he is also just one hell of a nice guy! Thanks a million Cary!
An eye for perfection – I smiled delighted at the results reflected in the mirror. Gone were the artificial blonde highlights and in it's place was the dark brown glazed hair closest to my natural black hair color giving me a warm, but sophisticated look. The stylish cut took years off my face. The feel after deep conditioning was luxurious. Cary's attention to detail, confidence in his craft and gentle nature made me a believer. Thank you, Cary for the great cut, great color and great look. I feel good.
- Debbie
Outstanding Stylist! – It was an excellent experience treating myself to a outstanding cut and style while on vacation in San Francisco! My hair looks and feels fabulous! All reviews of Cary's work are 100% accurate! I found him on the web and choose him through these reviews. He did not disappoint. I highly recommend Cary to anyone who has long, thick, and unmanageable hair, who wishes to have fabulous multi-layers of soft shiny managable hair. Thanks again, Cary and much success to you! Jeanie ~ Vancouver
AMAZING ARTIST – I hate finding a new hair stylist......I found Cary Carter on the web and was nervous....my hair had been ruined (over bleached) by my last attempt to find someone new. Cary was wonderful. He took the time to listen, managed to repair my hair (it actually looks healthy and shiny again). Several friends couldn't believe the transformation - they said it looks natural and the color is perfect for my skin tone. He really is an artist. Not to mention the cute cut he gave me! I would highly recommend him.
FABULOUS stylist! – I've been going to Cary for over a year now and he has been fabulous from the beginning. My hair is not the typical slick Asian hair, it's thick, kinda coarse, and wavy, and definitely can grow outward like Medusa. I've tried other places like Oxen Rose and I used to go to Toni & Guy in Orange County. Before I went to Cary, I called to make sure he was skilled hair stylist, who was consistent and knew how to cut hair. I made a mistake of going to an 'artist' at Oxen Rose. Cary is very detailed and really takes his time on cutting and styling your hair. He has a natural talent, technique, and passion for hair, which not all hair stylists has. I've gotten the double hair look - this stylist layered my hair where it looked like I had two hair cuts... so horrible! Cary really makes sure that you look good when you leave the salon. He's consistent and works with you on the cut and style that you want. I always feel fabulous after seeing Cary. My hair is controlled, grows out very well, full of body and sexy. I have no complaints! I can't wait until my next appointment with Cary Carter.
Happy Curls :) – Traditionally, my hair has been big, curly, often frizzy, and absolutely everywhere. Not just anyone knows how to deal with this kind of hair. In fact, I haven't had my hair cut by anyone but myself since I was 8 years old, when the local stylist literally put a bowl over my head and fashioned the most mortifying "wedge" anyone has ever seen. I hid under the kitchen table for hours. It wasn't until my late teens that my hair and I reached a truce, on the condition that I never subject it to anyone else's "good ideas" again.
Many years later, I recently met Cary: I instantly knew that if I was ever to try a "real hair cut" again, he was the one to trust. When I swallowed my fears and went in, I hardly realized I was getting a haircut. I sipped tea and we chatted and joked as he performed what appeared to be a cross between fine art and calculated science. He seemed to be having fun. So was I! And the haircut looks GREAT. It has shape and control and style while still maintaining its volume and personality. A few weeks later it is still growing out really nicely. It is the easiest to manage it has ever been, thanks to the style Cary added and a new product he recommended. Cary is a curly hair genius!
NorCal's Version of "America's Next Top Model" Salon Stylist – I have been looking for my "Cary " for years...... After years of everything from unpredictable to downright devastating cuts, colors, highlights or even stylings, I left Cary Carter's chair overjoyed to know I don't have to search any longer ! Being accomodated last minute and nearly after hours was just the beginning of my pampering. After settling in with my hot tea (presented in an artsy glass carafe), we began "the ritual"......Over the years I have had a number of different hair styles / looks that I have loved - that doesn't mean THEY loved ME ! I needed an experienced profesional's opinion, based on what would look best for my features. This is exactly what I wanted, asked for, and received - with reasons validating his decision ! At this point, I was eagerly anticipating the "goods" - could they be delivered? As time passed, easy conversation flowed, filled with his Southern charm. (I felt as if Tabitha would walk up behind any second, give a cocked head look and generously compliment him on his technique.)Then came the styling.....would I have bangs WAY TOO SHORT when they were dry? Would I look like a large bobblehead walking out? I took a sip of my cinnamon tea, a deep breath and hoped things would keep on this positive path. When everything was said and done, not only was I exceptionally pleased with the final result, but now I have a partner in which to create styles with a thought toward the future goal.....I have confidently been able to take this task "off my shoulders", knowing Cary will take care of me - all I have to do is get there !

James Madison will look to pick up its first win of the season when it travels to DeKalb, Ill. for the annual Northern Illinois University Invitational. The tournament opens a stretch of four games in five days with a three-game weekend where the Dukes will face Northern Illinois, Milwaukee and San Jose State.
**Radio note: Saturday's Milwaukee game will be tape-delayed on the JMU/nTelos Radio Network following the completion of coverage of JMU's football game vs. Stony Brook. Sunday's men's basketball game vs. San Jose State will air in the Shenandoah Valley on WHBG 1360 AM instead of WSVA 550 AM.**
JMU lost its season opener on the road Friday against No. 24 Virginia 61-41. UVA went on a 17-1 run late in the first half to go up 32-14 at halftime. Madison was only able to bring it within 16 for the remainder of the game. The Dukes were led by freshman Tom Vodanovich, who netted 11 points with four boards and two assists.
The Dukes will open tournament play on Friday November 15 at 9 p.m. EST as they take on tournament host Northern Illinois (0-1). The Huskies are looking to bounce back from a 68-66 loss at home last Friday to Nebraska Omaha, a game in which they were led by sophomore wing Darrell Bowie, who netted 16 points for the Huskies. The Huskies were hurt by 13 missed free throws, going 15-28 from the stripe, while the Mavericks went 27-32. NIU will be looking to snap an overall losing streak of 12 games.
On Saturday at 6:30 p.m., JMU will face the Milwaukee Panthers (1-1), who picked up their first win on Monday on the road at Davidson. Milwaukee overcame an 11-point second-half deficit and took the lead with three minutes remaining in the second half before taking down the Wildcats for the second straight season. The Panthers were led by Matt Tiby, who had 21 points, in addition to Steve McWhorter, Jordan Aaron, Austin Arians and Kyle Kelm, who all scored double figures.
The final game of the tournament for the Dukes will come against San Jose State on Sunday at 3 p.m. The Dukes are 1-0 all-time against San Jose State, beating the Spartans 77-68 at home last December in Las Vegas. Dating back to last season, the Spartans are on a 15-game losing streak, with their last win coming in January against New Orleans 71-64.
After the tournament, the Dukes will be in Harrisonburg for their home opener against Detroit on Tuesday Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. The game will include a banner-raising ceremony for the 2012-13 Colonial Athletic Association championship.
All three invitational games can be viewed via internet broadcasts on the NIUTube platform for a $6.95 monthly subscription.

Organic Food, Wheat and Hunger
I received an e-mail the other day, asking me for my commentary on this article in the Economist. The article, initially about the history of wheat but oddly mutates into how genetically modified food will save the world without wheat, hits the major points and accurately reflects the good side of what happens when you feed the people.
But it leaves out one major variable in this component – human greed and it's power to corrupt the best of intentions.
Let it be said here, on the record, that I have no problem with Genetically Modified (GM) Food that has been shown to be safe to both people and the eco-system. The problem is that several of the producers of GM food whose priority is to genetically tamper with crops for the sake of continual revenue, rather than feeding the hungry.
In my opinion, the number one priority of this planet is to ensure that no one goes hungry. This is a bit pollyannish, I know. But hey, I also hope for world peace and believe that love conquers all.
If I believe that we, as a world community, should be able to feed itself, I should also acknowledge the limitations of certain products. A group of limiting products happens to include organic foods. Norman Borlaug, who I talked about here, once said, "You couldn't feed more than 4 billion people" on an all-organic diet.
That's a limitation that's difficult to ignore.
However, what angers me is how the Monsantos and the Archer Daniel Midlands of the world hide behind the shield of good intentions when others criticize their business practices.
"We're trying to feed the world" they shout, when people bring up the fact that these companies are advocates for patenting life forms, or introducing terminator genes into crops. While they may be trying to feed the world, they're trying even harder to ensure regular profits, oftentimes at the expense of feeding the hungry.
Typically, if extensive testing was done on the above practices, with the results made available to the public, I would be willing to give these Bio-Agriculture industries the benefit of the doubt. But they don't wish to be bothered. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications once said in an interview with the New York Times Sunday Magazine. He said, without irony, that testing was the FDA's job.
Which reminds me of a story–
Once upon a time, in order for the FDA to determine if Monsanto's growth hormones were safe or not, Monsanto was required to submit a scientific report on that topic. Margaret Miller, one of Monsanto's researchers put the report together. Shortly before the report submission, Miller left Monsanto and was hired by the FDA. Her first job for the FDA was to determine whether or not to approve the report she wrote for Monsanto. Assisting Miller was another former Monsanto researcher, Susan Sechen.
The result? Monsanto approved its own report.
Doesn't that fill you with safety and joy?
It's practices like these that make me advocate for taking two steps back. Yes, we need to feed the world. As I said, I believe it's our number one priority. If it requires using genetically modified food to do so, then that's what needs to be done.
However, I have little faith in our current crop of bio-ag industries. They're playing with our eco-systems with a minimum of regulation. To say this concerns me is like saying the Titanic ran into a bit of trouble. One wrong step by these folks, and we run the risk of inhibiting our ability to feed ourselves as a country.
So I eat local when it's available, organic when it makes sense to. I give my money to companies and farms who aren't afraid of transparency, who aren't afraid of showing the good with the bad. Because if the business models from Monsanto represent a "better way" then we should redefine what constitutes "better".

The New Haven Clock Co. 1853 - 1946
They started making large "dollar type" watches in 1880 to 1946 and made about 40,000,000. They got their production up to about 200 watches a day.
In 1946 they reorganized as New Haven Clock & Watch Co. & went bankrupt in 1956.
This is their "Bull Dog" dollar watch packaged in the Bull Dog watch box.
It has a metal two tone silver dial (the crystal has yellowed).
It has an engraved style (stamped case).
Thanks for looking,
