Lowden-Miller State Forest
Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Napoli beat Fiorentina 3-1 to win their fifth Italian Cup thanks to a first-half brace from Lorenzo Insigne and a late strike from Dries Mertens but the match looked in danger of being cancelled as news of the shooting filtered through.
It is reported that a police officer was also injured after rioting in Rome. One Napoli fan is in critical condition.
A police statement read: "A 30-year-old injured in the torso was taken to the Villa San Pietro hospital along with a 43-year-old man struck on the right hand. A third person, aged 32, was taken to the Santo Spirito hospital with gunshot wounds to an arm and a hand."
"It's not the first time this has happened to me, I experienced it at Roma," said Montella, who was playing for Roma in 2004 when a derby match with Lazio was called off after both sets of fans demanded it be suspended following rumours that a boy had been killed by a police car just outside the stadium.
The rumour turned out to be false.
"Unfortunately Italian football is like this, and I think we'll lose a lot of players because of it. They'll choose to play elsewhere," added Montella.
"It's true even for the Italians. It's a shame because there was everything in place here tonight to offer people watching something better."
As match organisers and Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik (above) moved towards the fans to talk with hardcore 'ultra' leaders about whether the game should go ahead on Saturday, they were pelted with flares and smoke bombs.
One firefighter was injured after being struck by a flare and had to be helped from the field.
A representative from Napoli's ultras was seen wearing a "Free Speziale" t-shirt, referring to Antonino Speziale, who was jailed for eight years following the death of police officer Filippo Raciti in February 2007.
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, however, praised the ultras groups for their cooperation and understanding in allowing the match to go ahead.
"I was focused only on verifying with the authorities how we could ensure the game would go ahead, as otherwise it would've been a defeat for all of Italian football," he said after the match.
"We resolved the problem also with the help of the two ultras groups, who were very understanding and co-operative."
De Laurentiis then praised the fans' display of "civility" in the face of bad organisation on the part of the authorities.
"Why is it that the Ministry of the Interior still hasn't worked out how to organise a football match, which should be child's play, in a proper manner?" he said in the media conference following the match.
"Fortunately the fans of Napoli and Fiorentina showed an outstanding civility.
"The fans give their hearts and passion to the shirt right to the end. So to talk with those groups without the police present seems to me a sign of responsibility both on the part of the organisers and the fans.
"Yes there were some smoke bombs thrown, but in this stadium an extremely civil event took place, because with the news that was flying around it could have been a riot waiting to happen."
Police believe the shootings were not directly related to the football but the work of opportunistic criminals.

Teen Girl Sexually Attacked at Stagecoach Fest in Coachella Valley
Stagecoach scenery.
Boot Scootin Stef
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival seemed to go off smoothly again this year, but its cousin, the weekend's Stagecoach country music concert, seems to have had problems with sex crimes.
Some are implicating the fest's more liberal alcohol policy, which lets 21-and-up patrons bring in cases of their own beer.
On Friday night a 17-year-old girl said she was raped ...
... by three men who had broken into the Porta-Potty she was using near the three-day concert's entrance, police told the mydesert.com website.

It happened at about 8:30 p.m., according to the site: The girl immediately sought medical attention, and cops were called.
Good descriptions of the men were not available.
If true, it wouldn't be the first time for Stagecoach, which this year featured Blake Shelton, Cheryl Crow, Kenny Rogers and more.
Last year Darin Ledale Garrett of L.A. was convicted of raping a 23-year-old woman who was looking for her car and asked for his help during the 2011 country festival. He was a parking lot attendant at the event.
Mydesert.com says that alcohol is allowed "everywhere" during Stagecoach whereas, at Coachella, it's limited to certain areas.
Indio police spokesman Ben Guitron says, when it comes to partying in the desert, Stage coach organizers are "more outgoing on their cowboy theme."

So i was sitting around with my daughter and thinking to myself, boy am i hungry, low and behold i had a bag of left over pecans from the pie my mother in law made for thanks giving. So i jumped on Google and stumbled across this recipe. Checked my pantry and i had every thing i needed. So i put my baby in her high chair and we went to work whipping up this quick and easy glaze. Now i'm really bad in the kitchen and can only make a hand full of stuff but this was so easy i want to put it on all kinds of stuff (mostly nuts). I have been eating them as they slowly cool and they just keep getting better, no idea how long they are going to last on the counter while they set, hopefully my wife will get off work before i eat them all.
Yum! Easy to make, sweet, crunchy. Would be super on a salad or on an ice cream sundae! I miss the vanilla and cinnamon from other, similar recipes, but my husband says these are great just the way they are! :) Made for Fall 08 PAC. Thanks for posting!
Just made with a pecan walnut mix and tasted while they were still hot SO GOOD, now I want to try with almonds and pastashios maybe even peanuts.

The 'hide' link is not working with my theme. I guess there is a conflict somewhere.. maybe with Bootstrap? Any idea how to get this working?
I use Bootstrap in most of my work so it's not that. Got a link?
You can see it here, though you'll have to remove the display none on the link with Firebug or similar (I've hidden it while it is broken).
Ahh CKAN, I know it very well - we were trying to push to CKAN for an Australian government agency to house public datasets :)
Anyway, I chased it down to one line, the line that includes jquery.dotdotdot-1.4.0-packed.js. If you remove it from Firebug, the TOC collapses and expands as expected.
I looked a bit further and when dotdotdot is included, it changes jquery.html in that it returns not only the contents but also its selector. In my opinion, dotdotdot shouldn't be changing default jquery APIs as it may cause conflicts/compatibility issues - see http://api.jquery.com/html/ So when TOC+ does a comparison, it's trying to compare
text with
text and obviously not matching.
I've got no other suggestion except for trying the latest version of dotdotdot and if that doesn't fix it then to replace it with similar server side options (eg word limits, the_excerpt()...)
Ah, good call, updating dotdotdot did indeed fix this. Thanks.
Quick suggestion, it'd be nice to a class on the container which changes when the list is hidden.
Nice suggestion, it'll come.

Sorry, I know you're looking for some definitive answer before you try either but there's no way of know which will work better FOR YOU until YOU try them. Maybe you'll try MT and love it and forget all about this weird thread where you seem to want someone to tell you it's okay to do savate. Maybe you'll do savate and kick the **** out of everyone in your path and you'll feel super proud that you "knew it in advance". Who knows? No one does. Go try one, get decent at it by sparring a lot and then go to a gym where the teach whatever one you didn't choose and spar some other guys and see what you think. Sure, in a perfect world there would be 96 hours in a day and we'd all spend them training a dozen martial arts and all be stone cold badasses, but that's not the real world. Just go try it and be open minded and see what happens.

As Yankees-Red Sox border wars go, this isn't exactly Bill Lee getting his shoulder separated in a benches-emptying brawl or Jason Varitek feeding his glove to A-Rod, but it'll have to do.
I guess this is what passes for bad blood between franchises that supposedly hate each other in 2016. Going at it in Valentine's Day posts like two high school girls throwing shade at each other on Facebook. In our genteel, mannered, easily-offended world, the best rivalry in sports has gone from rugged men throwing haymakers in anger to entry-level social media staffers throwing snark.
Oh, well. At least it's something. It's some indication that maybe after years of playing nice, with Yankee legends being treated like they were winning those championships for us and absolutely zero animosity to be found anywhere, maybe, just maybe, these two teams are ready to get back to some good, old-school, mutual hatred as God intended. But I'm not holding my breath. Instead I'll just satisfy myself with memories of the way things used to be.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been heavily scrutinized this week for his actions both on and off the field on Super Bowl Sunday.
Newton came under fire when he appeared to back away from a loose ball after fumbling in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. Then during his postgame press conference he gave mostly one-word answers before abruptly walking out on reporters, saying, "I'm done, man."
Panthers coach Ron Rivera apparently is not as concerned as fans and media members. In an interview with Pro Football Talk, Rivera defended his quarterback's decision not to dive after his fourth-quarter fumble.
"I think he was looking for the rebound. When that group of guys came diving in, when it ricocheted backwards, he tried to turn and get after the ball," Rivera said. "When you look at the circumstances he was looking at, I have no problem with that."
As for Newton's postgame surliness, Rivera said it simply was the result of the QB's competitive nature.
Said Rivera, "The one thing about Cam that I think a lot of people have to understand is he hates to lose. He really does. And a lot of great ones have that."
Rivers said the experience can all be used as a lesson for the future.
"Unfortunately, we just didn't win the big one," the coach said. "I think he'll learn and grow from this situation and come back stronger next year."

On Monday, adult film legend and uber sports fan Lisa Ann went on "Morning Men" with Evan Cohen and Mike Babchik on SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio and talked about covering Super Bowl 50. Among the soul-baring revelations she made was the fact that Emmanuel Sanders is the player she'd most like to cook dinner for (which could be a euphemism or literally mean she wants to prepare a meal for him, my pornspeak is rusty) and this little gem:
"I got FaceTimed by both teams before the game started. I was pretty excited about that. I'm not telling you that! I kind of got in with that. I was really happy that I showered and looked decent when I got these FaceTimes. I got a FaceTime yesterday from the field right before the game from my friend who you remember, [Broncos tight end] Jeff Heuerman, who got injured at the beginning of training camp and didn't get to play this season. I can't count him because he didn't play, is that correct?"
Unfortunately she did not say who from the Panthers FaceTimed her (which also could be a euphemism, but I'm guessing she meant the video calling option), but unless it also was someone on injured reserve, that is not a good look for Carolina. I mean, I know boys will be boys, but you'd like to think that just before the biggest game of their lives they're focused on installing last-minute plays and going over the silent snap count, not calling the star of "Nailin' Palin" and "Breast in Class 2: Counterfeit Racks." Call me a purist.
Anyway, it would explain a lot. I don't know how you go out and win a football game when guys on your team are FaceTiming with porn superstars right before kickoff. Unless she's promising "dinner" for someone on the champions, which would be a hell of an incentive. And if that's the case, I'd look right into the camera after the game and yell, "I'm going to Lisa Ann's house for a nice home-cooked meal!!!"
Knicks president Phil Jackson decided to cut ties with coach Derek Fisher on Monday. The firing took place after Fisher led the team to a mark of 23-31 this season and an abysmal 17-65 record last season. The Knicks have lost nine of their last 10 games.
Former Lakers and Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis will step in as interim coach for the remainder of the season. While he will have a chance to earn the head coaching position, there are a number of outside candidates the Knicks may be taking a hard look at.
One name that is thrown around with just about every coaching vacancy in the NBA is former Celtics assistant and Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau. There's also former Nuggets coach Brian Shaw, whom Jackson reportedly preferred over Fisher but could not hire because Shaw already had a job at the time.
Perhaps the most intriguing name on the list is Warriors assistant Luke Walton. The incredible job the 35-year-old did filling in for Steve Kerr this season has not gone unnoticed, and he almost certainly will be getting head coaching offers in the near future. One report indicated the Lakers would be willing to fire coach Byron Scott so they could hire Walton.
Walton and Fisher both played for Jackson with the Lakers, while Shaw and Rambis were assistant coaches under Jackson.

As Texas develops rules that would allow it to seize property from deceased Medicaid recipients, Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon, D-San Antonio, has introduced a law to kill those rules.
The wide-ranging health services reorganization measure passed during the last legislative session gave the Texas Health and Human Services commissioner authority to implement a federal law that requires states to recover nursing home, hospital, drug and other medical costs for certain Medicaid recipients.
The 48 other states that have implemented the federal rules handle assets in different ways, some placing liens on a deceased person's property, including their home, depending on other state laws, said Kristie Zamzaril, press officer for the Health and Human Services Commission.
"In Texas, a couple of the state laws we've got to pay attention to are our probate code and homestead law and our staff is right now researching how to figure out what our options are in terms of implementing the federal requirements," she said. "HHSC will seek a fair balance that will comply with federal requirements and protect the interests of the taxpayers and beneficiaries."
But, McClendon said, the rules "penalize our elderly for being old and frail and I thought that that was something we didn't want to do in Texas."
She said the new rules targeted people who didn't know how to get the legal advice that permitted them to shelter assets and that the money likely recovered for the state was negligible.
In the 10 years under the federal law, no one has questioned how Texas handles the assets, she said.The bill has at least one major hurdle to overcome.
It's not an issue Gov. Rick Perry asked for consideration during the current special session, said Mynor Rodriguez, the chief clerk for the House Committee on Human Services.
Amarillo resident Joan Douglas called the asset recovery measure shocking.
"My mother had gone through this, but she's deceased now, but if she had been alive, we would have gone through this perhaps," she said.

As an underwriter at JPMorgan, the parent company to the company the owns FUSA, I doubt they just do hard inquires into your credit (they do not need to, if you have accounts w/them your credit file is open for them to reveiw. Even if you don't have accounts they can still purchase it.). If you have accounts with FUSA and have requested lower rates or higher credit limits or other such things then you have infact been consenting to inquires. If you do not have accounts then perhaps you have applied for credti somewhere that is owned by FUSA or with someone who "priced" you out to them. From my experience most people worry way too much about inquires, which have little effect unless taken to the extreme, when they should be worrieing about other things that have far more impact on their credit.

well, I can I got in a little over my head and I need some help to make sure I follow the correct codex instructions....I'm afraid to mess anything up after all this work. Here's my situation.
I created the following WordPress site on this URL:
everything worked great I was happy and I wanted to move it to its new home. I purchased the domain name http://www.Baystaterest.com. So as I've done in the past with static websites I went to my domain server and forwarded the
BayStaterest.com folder to
fantastic! Everything seems to work... the index.html file appears well now at
however, when I go to click on the other pages I created--
that damned ChazSouthard.org URL appears instead of what I want like http://www.Baystaterest.com/?page_id=2
what to do?
I understand there's ways to move WordPress files around but what I don't want to do is screw up anything that has been worked on. The database I imagine will stay the same as should the URL but I'd like it to appear as noted before. Is there a simple solution on my going to be folloing many steps very carefully for a while?

Hybrid wipers to be planted at Lake Jennings
Lakeside That mad fishing scientist Hugh Marx is up to his old tricks, this time with the planting of 1,000 wipers, a white bass-striped bass hybrid, in Lake Jennings.
The same dude who at Lake Cuyamaca had success with sturgeon and golden shiners, and not so much success with smallmouth bass, now plans to stock hybrid wipers, 8- to 12-inches in size, at Lake Jennings next week. The fish won't be legal to keep by anglers until they reach 15 inches, but Marx said the fish should reach that size within a year. By the third year, the fish will heft 4- to 7 pounds. Jennings has imposed a one-fish limit on its wipers. As hybrids, the fish are sterile and must be restocked periodically.
"This isn't something that happened overnight," Marx said from his laboratory at Jennings. "I've been working on this for nine years."
Marx, who was mentored by the late San Diego fisheries manager Orville Ball, who brought Florida-strain largemouth bass to San Diego in 1959, said he was inspired years ago when Santa Ana River Lakes and Corona stocked wipers. But the hatchery that supplied those fisheries with the hybrids went out of business.
Marx said Doug Drover of Alpine Fisheries found an Arizona hatchery that has hybrid bass. It took over a year of processing, permitting and inspection by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but now Marx has approval to import the exotics. Drover will transport the fish one day next week (likely Thursday) from Arizona to Jennings. Marx said the fish will average about 1 pound each.
"These fish have a reputation of being very catchable," Marx said. "They're great for trollers, too.
Marx said the hybrids likely will move more to the center of the lake and settle under schools of shad.
"In recent years, our planted trout and resident bass have been settling under those shad schools out in the middle of the lake," Marx said. "Anglers have had a tough time catching them. We're hoping these new hybrids will compete with bass and trout for the shad and force the trout and bass closer to shore so anglers have a better chance at catching them."
Marx said the hybrid wipers won't get as big as striped bass, but they have been known to grow to 6- to 12 pounds, and there's a record of one 18-pounder. Marx said the plan is to plant 5,000 wipers next year.
Jennings presently offers fishing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with fishing until midnight on Friday and Saturday evenings. The lake will be open every day in July.
Ocean fishing has been very good, with great sign offshore for smallish yellowtail in the 5- to 10-pound range. At Seaforth, the Pacific Voyager returned from a 2½-day run offshore with 142 yellowtail, 220 rockfish, 50 red rockcod, 35 lingcod and 4 barracuda. At H&M Landing, Tim Green's Premier will start twilight trips every Friday and Saturday, leaving at 6:30 p.m. Barracuda are biting and calico bass fishing also is on the improve for the party boats.

While in Raleigh, our dog Gambit (darker color) got a chance to meet Lilu. They enjoyed each other thoroughly, constantly chasing each other around. However, we were able to get them to settle down as we snapped some photos.
Grambling State won its fourth Bayou Classic in a row, dismantling Southern University 36-12. Below are the visuals from the game.
Grambling State overcame a 15-0 deficit to win the SWAC Championship against Alabama A&M. The offense sputtered for most of the game, but the G-Men did get huge plays when it mattered most.
The win gives Doug Williams his fourth SWAC Championship win overall, and Grambling is now 5-1 in the big one.
Click here for the full photo gallery.
Below are the top 5 photos from the 2011 State Farm Bayou Classic as told by photographer Darryl D. Smith:
Why this photo: This photo really said a lot about Dawrence Roberts. He's an explosive RB, and he finally went in for the touchdown to really put the game away. His emotion said so much to me as he celebrated. It reminded me of an Ab Kuaan photo I took years ago.
Why this photo: Mario Louis is a freak of nature when it comes to catching the ball. This photo proves it. While he was ruled out by the referees, I feel this photo has to make the cut because of the catch. Not too many people can make this catch every game, but Louis continues to defy the odds. I just love the reach and focus he has on the ball.
Why this photo: This photo just tells the character of Dr. Larry J. Pannell in my opinion. The lighting makes him looks mysterious, which he can be. The lighting also makes him look quite exciting, which he is. I love the placement of this photo with the Mercedez-Benz logo in the background as well, which is described as a unique car. Doc is a unique human being, and this photo describes him perfectly. Only thing I hate is that his hand is cut off, but still an awesome photo.
Why this photo: Mario Louis gets another pick in this game. This time, the touchdown counted. What I really love about the photo is that you can see his eyes, focused squarely on the ball. It looks like he shouldn't have caught it, but Louis is something else. The catch helped put Grambling up 10-0, and put them in cruise control for the rest of the game.
Why this photo: While this shot did not come at the end of the game, it explained everything Southern University was going through. They couldn't get anything going offensively, and their defense could barely stop Grambling's offensive gameplan. It was a physical game resulting in some injuries, and this photo just explains it all. I couldn't help but take the photo.
While visiting Lea's of Lecompte, Kali ordered the Prauline Pecan Cheesecake. The cheesecake was so good that she decided to run — literally — to the car and grab her camera to snap a few shots. Here's the winner out of the batch she edited!
Cupcake is our niece, who is the one-year-old daughter of Travis and Domminika Mack. These photos were taken outside of her grandfather's house on a brisk, fall evening. Hope you enjoy!
Mario Louis catches the game-winning touchdown pass from Frank Rivers. Grambling State defeated Mississippi Valley State 30-24 in overtime on Oct. 22.
In a Homecoming game for the ages, Grambling State captured an OT victory over Mississippi Valley State 30-24. Mississippi Valley ended up leaving Eddie Robinson Stadium with a 19-game losing streak. Below are the visuals from the game, halftime, and pre-game. Enjoy!
Concordia fell to Grambling State 44-0, as the Tigers defense held off several furious flurries from Concordia. Below are the visuals.
As the football teams headed to the locker rooms, the bands hit the field and put on a stellar performance for those in attendance. Here are the captures from the halftime shows.
Despite putting up a decent effort and tying the game 7-all, the Grambling Tigers fell 35-7 to the ULM Warhawks. It was a pretty defensive game with ULM taking control for most of the game. The offense hardly clicked all game unfortunately. Peep the photos below.

Appa's Fast Cob
How can building with Cob be easy or fast?
"We use a technique that has developed over the course of 6 years of workshops, primarily through the gifts of participants. I call it fast cob, or the 4 corner Korean noodle brick."
How can building with Cob be easy or fast?
"We use a technique that has developed over the course of 6 years of workshops, primarily through the gifts of participants. I call it fast cob, or the 4 corner Korean noodle brick."
To get a good cob mix you need to use sand or a aggregate of some kind for all the slippery clay plates to attach to. If sand is not available on site you may be purchasing 'plaster sand' for 25 dollars a ( small ) truck load. Crusher fines are a little cheaper but less fine. I've found a good resource for those that have recycling centers near by – glass. This glass has been purchased at a store, the contents consumed and brought to the recycling center. They pulverize the jars and bottles and produce a sand like mix – If you don't mind handling a material that everyone in town has had their lips on. My recycling center has a blend of super fine glass, like fine sand, and a 1/4″ to 1/2" glass chunks. A truck load is 5 dollars and they load the truck.
I've used this for straight up cob mass building, infill plaster and sculpting. I added some sand, horse manure, straw and clay to create a infill plaster and sculpt-able mix. There are some 'rocks' of glass, but none too large. If you were inclined to reveal the glass look, plaster on let dry and sponge down to reveal the sparkly glass bits.
I've only been cut once so far by the glass, but definitely wear gloves and some safety glasses.
It's great to see small scale 3D cob modeling like at Ryan's site Colorado Cob. I really enjoyed this model and walk through. Working out the details in small scale is so smart! It allows you consider aspects of the design and to solve spatial challenges you might not recognize in paper or Sketchup. While I haven't done much 3D modeling myself, I definitely will in the future.
I'm trying my hand at structolite ( plaster of paris and perlite ) and fine sand as a base coat for a diamond finish. Something completely new for me, as I've usually used a clay alis over a earthen plaster or homemade lime plaster. I am shaping with earthen plaster then adding structolite for a super smooth finish. My goal is to get a dust-free, durable finish in the kitchen and bath areas.
I was at the hardware store looking for helpful tips from the old-timers. One was a plastic spreader for applying and shaping the plaster. One can use old yogurt lids, sans the rim, for applying and burnishing – it's the same idea.
After using the bondo spreaders for a short time I'm convinced these are worth having in the toolbox. It's a little thicker plastic and doesn't break as fast as yogurt lids. This pack has small, medium and large.
Great tools for getting in those strange tight spaces.
I've found this tutorial, How to Build a Dream Shed, to be very helpful in describing the details of standard construction. Lot's of great detail, well explained.

Romney and Obama Roast Each Other at Charity Dinner
With nearly identical Cuomo jokes.
For his second comedy-related appearance of the night, on Thursday President Obama attended the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner along with Mitt Romney. The annual event, which is hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, is the black tie version of the uncomfortable handshake at the beginning of each debate. It's traditional for both major party candidates to attend the benefit, perform a short stand-up routine, then pretend it isn't awkward to have dinner together during the most heated time in the campaign. The seating arrangements didn't help matters for President Obama. He was separated from Romney by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and Romney helpfully highlighted their strained relationship during his remarks. "I am sure the cardinal has no hard feelings," said Romney. "And we might get an indication of that during dinner to see if the president's wine turns into water, or for that matter if my water turns into wine."
Both candidates had some good zingers. There were wife jokes:
Obama: "I learned there are worse things that can happen to you on your anniversary than forgetting to buy a gift."
Romney: "President Obama and I are each very lucky to have one person who's always in our corner, someone that we can lean on, and someone that's a comforting presence without whom we wouldn't be able to go on another day. I have my beautiful wife, Ann, he's got Bill Clinton."
Rich guy jokes:
Obama: "Earlier today I went shopping at some stores in Midtown. I understand Gov. Romney went shopping for some stores in Midtown."
Romney [who was wearing a tux]: "It's nice to finally relax and to wear what Ann and I wear around the house."
And debate prep jokes:
Romney: "I find the biggest available straw man and mercifully attack it; Big Bird didn't even see it coming. By the way, in the spirit of 'Sesame Street,' the president's remarks are brought to you tonight by the letter O and the number 16 trillion."
Obama: "I had a lot more energy in our second debate. I felt really well-rested after the nice long nap I had in the first debate."
As well as nearly identical jokes about Andrew Cuomo's presidential ambitions: "He may be getting a little ahead of himself," said Romney. "Let me get this straight. The man has put in one term as a governor, he has a father who happened to be a governor, and he thinks that's enough to run for president?" During his remarks Obama paused for a moment, apparently noticing the overlap, but then told his joke anyway: "Tonight I am here with a man whose father was a popular governor, and who knows what it's like to run a northeastern state and who could very well be president someday — and I'm hoping it is Andrew Cuomo."
The candidates wrapped up their remarks by praising each other as well-intentioned family men, as well as our civilized political process, which allows two rivals to come together for the greater good. Though, much like Cardinal Dolan at the DNC, Romney did get in a ding during what was supposed to be his heartfelt conclusion. Romney praised the organizations hosting the event for acting "in service to the poor, in care for the sick, in defense of the rights of conscience, and in solidarity with the innocent child waiting to be born," drawing huge applause.

Gloss and Haze measurement is essential where an aesthetic appearance of the coating finish is required and to ensure uniformity of the surface finish.
The gloss value is determined by directing a light, which has a similar wavelength to the human eye, at the test surface and
measuring the amount of specular reflection. Gloss is
measured with angles of 60° and 20°. The 60° angle is
universal for all applications. The 20° angle gives improved differentiation of measurement on high-gloss coatings above 70 gloss units.
Haze measurement is required where high-gloss surfaces have
a low reflection contrast. The Haze measurement is the
difference between readings taken with the 20° and 60°
angles, complying with International Standard ASTM D4039. The Stargloss will automatically calculate the Haze reading.
The Haze function is only available on combined 60°/20° models.
Small and portable, the Stargloss is one of the most advanced Gloss Meters available. By using tungsten halogen lamps and
optical filters the light source has a similar spectro-response to the human eye, giving true human photo-optic performance, which is essential for ensuring exact compliance to
International Standards. Optical bench accuracy and stability are obtained by the optics being set in a precision-engineered aluminium block.
Available in models of Standard and Top. All functions are easily accessible through a menu-driven back-lit display.
Measuring principle
Magnetic Method (Fe): Measuring the thickness of non- magnetic coatings on steel, iron and other ferromagnetic metal substrates, e.g. painting, varieties of anti-corrosion coating, powder spraying, plastic, rubber, synthetic material, phosphate coating, chromium, zinc, Aluminum, tin and cadmium, etc.
Eddy Current Method (NFe): measuring the thickness of non-conductive coatings on copper, aluminum, stainless steel and other non-ferromagnetic substrates, e.g. painting, varieties of anti-corrosion coating, powder spraying, plastic, rubber, synthetic material, oxide film and phosphate film, etc.

M1 Hammer of the North by M60RPDWatch
The Mach 1 Hammer is an energy based anti-craft weapon that is point-&-click and it goes. A weapon so powerful that if caught selling this on the black market would receive capital punishment. This weapon, if fired accurately, can put a crater in Mars big enough to stick your in. The beam has a spread effect, meaning when it the surface of the target, it basically splashes and causes further damage. This weapon is used for shooting down ships as big as Star Destroyers. One notable draw back of the Hammer of the North, is it's wicked kick-back, with enough force to throw a man to the ground if he isn't stepping into his shot. As for Cost: You ain't buying it, you're only given it if you're in special forces. Like MIB or Republic kinda s***.
Cool design, my only critique would be to move the shoulder pad back a bit. Seems like if it was resting on your shoulder it would be difficult to access the pistol grip.
Very cool! But it looks like a Necron heavy weapon to me.
It is original I can assure you
Oh, no, I know it's not ripped off of anything. Its design aesthetic just reminds me strongly of Necron weapons. I might even use it as inspiration for my own Necron army in the future
just a sec o3o
can we get a command and conquer red alert 4 and bring back the desolators... THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR EM!
can we get a command and conquer red alert 4 and bring back the desolators... THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR EM!
Oh...my God.
You mean on Mars from Earth?
That'd be some miracle unless you were an astronomer or something XD
If it's a directed energy weapon it would not have any recoil.
Well, it's somewhat Science-Fiction. And if you think of Star Wars, all the blasters there have a recoil.

I am building an application plugin in Python which allows users to arbitrarily extend the application with simple scripts (working under Mac OS X). Executing Python scripts is easy, but some users are more comfortable with languages like Ruby.
From what I've read, I can easily execute Ruby scripts (or other arbitrary shell scripts) using
subprocess and capture their output with a pipe; that's not a problem, and there's lots of examples online. However, I need to provide the script with multiple variables (say a chunk of text along with some simple boolean information about the text the script is modifying) and I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to do this.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to accomplish this? My goal is to provide scripts with the information they need with the least required code needed for accessing that information within the script.
Thanks in advance!

Research Programs
Immigration, Ethnicity, and Social StructureThis program is led by Senior Scholar Joel Perlmann, who guides a research initiative, "Ethnicity and Economy in America—Past and Present," that focuses on the processes by which immigrants and their descendants are assimilated into US economic life. The Levy Institute believes that this work will shed light on current policy issues related to immigration, such as international competitiveness, the labor market, income distribution, and poverty.
The program comprises three research projects. The first, "The Jews circa 1900: Social Structure in Europe and America," focuses on social characteristics that help to explain the rapid socioeconomic rise of eastern European Jewish immigrants who entered the American economy at the turn of the 20th century. Census data that were previously unavailable or not machine readable are used to examine social and economic characteristics of eastern European Jews who emigrated to the United States, as well as those who remained in Europe.
The second project, "Assimilation and the Third Generation," explores the assimilation of immigrants into the socioeconomic mainstream of the United States, and the social and economic experiences of their American-born children. Special attention is paid to a few large groups whose absorption seemed especially slow and painful during the first and second generations: Irish immigrants who arrived in the mid 19th century, Italians and Poles who immigrated between 1880 and 1920, Mexicans who arrived throughout much of the 20th century, and southern-born blacks who migrated north. Census data are used in new ways in order to identify and trace second- and third-generation Americans.
The third project, "The New Immigration's Second Generation," conducted by Perlmann and Research Associate Roger Waldinger, reviews literature that deals with the economic progress and difficulties faced by children of today's immigrants (i.e., at the turn of the 21st century). Their experiences are compared with those faced by children of immigrants at the turn of the 20th century.
Research Group on Israeli Social Structure and Inequality
A second long-term research initiative, begun in the fall of 2008, is based around the Research Group on Israeli Social Structure and Inequality, which includes Perlmann and Research Associate Yuval Elmelech, as well as two scholars each from Columbia University and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem: Yinon Cohen (Yosef H. Yerushalmi Professor of Israel and Jewish Studies) and Seymour Spilerman (Julian C. Levi Professor of Sociology) from the former, and Sergio DellaPergola (Shlomo Argov Chair in Israel-Diaspora Relations, Institute of Contemporary Jewry) and Barbara S. Okun (Associate Professor of Population Studies) from the latter.
The group expects to focus on three domains of inequality. First, ethnic origin and immigration status play key roles in shaping the Israeli stratification system. Crucial is the division between Jews and Arabs, and, among Jews, the division between Mizrachim (Jews from Muslim, mostly Arab, lands) and Ashkenazim (Jews of European descent). First- and second-generation Mizrachim lag behind Ashkenazim on the various measures of economic well-being, such as education and labor market attainment. The issue of second-generation catch-up or decline, reverberating through discussions of contemporary American and European immigration, is common in social science literature on Israel as well. A closer look at the evidence, especially by individual country of origin and over time, and a perspective of international comparisons characterize our approach.
Second, we will focus on the changing patterns of economic inequality. Israel today has among the highest rates of poverty in the developed world, and the gaps between the wealthy and the poor have increased substantially over the past three decades. We will be exploring the shifting income and wealth distributions in Israel during the recent years of increasing privatization policies and globalization trends.
Third, we hope later to study the results of the massive restructuring of Israeli higher education over the past decade and a half: the creation of a large number of smaller "colleges" of varying quality, where before there had been only a half dozen universities, all of them essentially research universities. The 2008 Israel Integrated Census of Population and Housing should provide data on the connection between the educational expansion and returns to schooling.
The 1967 Census of the West Bank and Gaza Strip: A Digitized Version
In the summer of 1967, just after the Six-Day War brought the West Bank and Gaza Strip under Israel's control, the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics conducted a census of the occupied territories. The resulting seven volumes of reports provide the earliest detailed description of this population, including crucial data about respondents' 1948 refugee status.
The Levy Economics Institute is making the contents of these volumes available in machine-readable form for the first time, in the hope that the data can be exploited by researchers interested in a fuller understanding of the social history of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories. For an overview of our project and to access the hundreds of tables contained in the 1967 Census database, click here.

Working Paper No. 858 | January 2016
Gender Dimensions of Inequality in the Countries of Central Asia, South Caucasus, and Western CIS
The collapse of the Soviet Union initiated an unprecedented social and economic transformation of the successor countries and altered the gender balance in a region that counted gender equality as one of the key legacies of its socialist past. The transition experience of the region has amply demonstrated that the changes in the gender balance triggered by economic shifts are far from obvious, and that economic expansion and women's economic empowerment do not always go hand in hand. Therefore, active measures to enhance women's economic empowerment should be of central concern to the policy dialogue aimed at poverty and inequality reduction and inclusive growth. In this paper, we establish the current state of various dimensions of gender inequalities and their past dynamics in the countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia), and Western CIS (Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine), and propose steps aimed at reducing those inequalities in the context of inclusive growth, decent job creation, and economic empowerment.Download:Associated Program(s):Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Policy Note 2015/8 | December 2015
This policy note examines the formulation and reformulation of questions deployed by the US Census Bureau to gather information on racial and ethnic origin in recent decades. The likely outcome for the 2020 Census is that two older questions on race and Hispanic origin will be combined into a single question on ethno-racial origin. The authors welcome these changes but suggest that this may also be an opportune time to drop the "race or origin" label from this new, unified question. They also argue for modest and readily implemented modifications to capture valuable information on parental birthplaces in the American Community Survey. This information would support our ability to measure the social and economic well-being of the population and thus better understand the trajectory of demographic groups over time.
This policy note is accompanied by Working Paper No. 857, "Ethno-Racial Origin in US Federal Statistics: 1980–2020," in which the authors explore these issues in greater detail.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Joel Perlmann Patrick NevadaRelated Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 857 | December 2015
This paper describes the transformations in federal classification of ethno-racial information since the civil rights era of the 1960s. These changes were introduced in the censuses of 1980 and 2000, and we anticipate another major change in the 2020 Census. The most important changes in 1980 introduced the Hispanic Origin and Ancestry questions and the elimination of two questions on parental birthplace. The latter decision has made it impossible to adequately track the progress of the new second generation. The change in 2000 allowed respondents to declare origins in more than one race; the anticipated change for 2020 will create a single question covering race and Hispanic Origin—or, stated more broadly, race and ethnic origin. We show that the 1980 changes created problems in race and ethnic classification that required a "fix," and the transformation anticipated for 2020 will be that fix. Creating the unified question in the manner the Census Bureau is testing will accomplish by far the hardest part of what we believe should be done. However, we suggest two additional changes of a much simpler nature: restoring the parental birthplace questions (to the annual American Community Survey) and possibly eliminating the Ancestry question (the information it gathered will apparently now be obtained in the single race-and-ethnicity question). The paper is historical in focus. It surveys how the classification system prior to 1980 dealt with the tension between ethno-racial continuity and assimilation (differently for each major type of group); how the political pressures producing the changes of 1980 and 2000 changed the treatment of that tension; and, finally, the building pressure for a further change.Download:Associated Program(s):Immigration, Ethnicity, and Social Structure Economic Policy for the 21st Century Explorations in Theory and Empirical AnalysisAuthor(s):Joel Perlmann Patrick NevadaRelated Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 815 | September 2014
This paper contributes to the literature on inequality and welfare policy by studying public support for redistributive policies in Israel, a society with an extreme level of socioeconomic inequality. Drawing on the relevant literature and taking into consideration the distinct demographic makeup of contemporary Israeli society, the study aims to describe public support for opportunity-enhancing and outcome-based redistributive policies and to explore the extent to which individual economic and demographic characteristics are associated with policy preferences. Analysis of data from a unique topical module of the 2008 Israel Social Survey reveals that support for opportunity-based programs is strong overall, but that the Israeli public is deeply divided along ethnic lines, religious affiliation, and immigration status. While results from multinomial regression analyses provide support for the self-interest theory, the findings also underscore the significance of various demographic and social indicators as determinants of policy preferences. These findings are discussed in light of the current debates on the sources of, and possible remedies for, the growing social and economic polarization within Israeli society.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):

Does the Gender of the Migrant Matter?
Utilizing a nationally representative sample of households from Sri Lanka, this study examines gender differences in the long-term impact of temporary labor migration. We use a propensity score matching (PSM) framework to compare households with return migrants, households with current migrants, and equivalent nonmigrant households in terms of a variety of outcomes. Our results show that households that send women abroad are relatively poor and utilize migration to catch up with the average household, whereas sending a man abroad allows an already advantaged household to further strengthen their economic position. We also find that remittances from females emphasize investment in home improvements and acquisition of farm land and nonfarm assets, whereas remittances of men are channeled more toward housing assets and business ventures.Download:Associated Program(s):Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 689 | October 2011
Immigration is having an increasingly important effect on the social insurance system in the United States. On the one hand, eligible legal immigrants have the right to eventually receive pension benefits but also rely on other aspects of the social insurance system such as health care, disability, unemployment insurance, and welfare programs, while most of their savings have direct positive effects on the domestic economy. On the other hand, most undocumented immigrants contribute to the system through taxed wages but are not eligible for these programs unless they attain legal status, and a large proportion of their savings translates into remittances that have no direct effects on the domestic economy. Moreover, a significant percentage of immigrants migrate back to their countries of origin after a relatively short period of time, and their savings while in the United States are predominantly in the form of remittances. Therefore, any analysis that tries to understand the impact of immigrant workers on the overall system has to take into account the decisions and events these individuals face throughout their lives, as well as the use of the government programs they are entitled to. We propose a life-cycle Overlapping Generations (OLG) model in a general equilibrium framework of legal and undocumented immigrants' decisions regarding consumption, savings, labor supply, and program participation to analyze their role in the financial sustainability of the system. Our analysis of the effects of potential policy changes, such as giving some undocumented immigrants legal status, shows increases in capital stock, output, consumption, labor productivity, and overall welfare. The effects are relatively small in percentage terms but considerable given the size of our economy.Download:Associated Program(s):Author(s):Selçuk Eren Hugo Benítez-Silva Eva Cárceles-PovedaRelated Topic(s):

Views of European Races among the Research Staff of the US Immigration Commission and the Census Bureau, ca. 1910
This paper discusses support for, and opposition to, racial classification of European immigrants among high-level researchers at both the United States Immigration Commission of 1907–11 (the Dillingham Commission) and the Census Bureau during those same years. A critical distinction must be made between the Commission members—political appointees who mostly supported some form of restriction at the time of their appointment—and the top research staff, whose views were remarkably wide ranging. Moreover, even staff members committed to a racialized outlook—such as Daniel Folkmar, author of the Commission's infamous Dictionary of Races and Peoples—deserve a closer look than historians have given them; for example, Folkmar and his superior on the staff had requested commentary from Franz Boas, who was then emerging as the most prestigious academic critic of racial theories (theories that assume group differences in behavior arise from biological endowments). Another feature of the narrative concerns the surprising number of staff who transferred from the Commission to the Census Bureau to work on the 1910 Census. Debates continued at the Bureau as well, this time over how to present the results of the new "mother tongue" question, which had been introduced to the Census questionnaire in response to pressure for a European "race" question. Indeed, Folkmar was also the chief author of the Census Bureau report on the mother-tongue data.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):

Blending Across Four Generations of German-Americans
New data from the IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series) project permit an exploration of the demographic basis for ethnic survival across successive generations. I first explore the degree of ethnic blending among the grandchildren of early- to mid-19th-century German immigrants; second, these descendants' own marital choices; and third, the likely composition of the fourth generation to which they would give birth. Fundamental questions include: How high is the rate of single versus mixed origins after so many generations in America? How large an absolute number of single-origin individuals remain (given the combined impact of out-marriage, on the one hand, and cumulative fertility, on the other)? How much less likely are single-origin individuals of the third generation to in-marry relative to those in the second generation? And how do all these patterns differ across 31,000 local geographic areas? I exploit the full-count 1880 Census dataset and the Linked Representative Sample, which captures males in 1880 as well as in one of the 1900–30 enumerations. Limiting attention to those who were adolescents in 1880, we have three generations' worth of ethnic information on each sample member traced across time (birthplace as well as parents' and grandparents' birthplaces, from their parents' responses) and ethnic information covering two generations for the women they eventually married.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):
Working Paper No. 633 | November 2010
New Evidence in the Debate about the Creation of Second Generation Educational Outcomes in Israel
There is much interest in explaining the persistent ethnic gaps in education among Israeli Jews; specifically, the much lower attainments of those from Asian and African countries compared to the rest—Mizrahim vs. Ashkenazim, respectively. Some explanations (especially early ones) have stressed premigration immigrant characteristics, particularly the relatively lower level of educational attainment among Mizrahim. More recent interpretations have tended to focus on discrimination of various sorts that took place after the immigrants arrived in Israel. Crucial evidence for the discriminatory effect was introduced by Yaakov Nahon (1987), who demonstrated a shift toward a Mizrahi-Ashkenazi dichotomy in educational attainment between birth cohorts of adult immigrants and birth cohorts of adults born in Israel. From this evidence, a wide range of scholars concluded that the premigration educational characteristics of immigrants could not explain Israeli educational patterns, and that, consequently, the explanation based on discrimination was thereby greatly strengthened.
In this paper, we use the 1961 Israel census public-use dataset to refine Nahon's analysis. Instead of using age cohorts as proxies for "fathers" and "children," we focus on actual fathers and their children. Our results vary substantially from Nahon's. In fact, we find that the educational attainment of immigrant fathers clusters quite closely around the Ashkenazi-Mizrahi dichotomy, and conclude that it is no longer reasonable to rule out the premigration hypothesis. This outcome leaves researchers with a more challenging explanatory task than before, because they are now faced with the notoriously difficult situation of having to determine the relative influence of premigration characteristics, on the one hand, and of discriminatory processes, on the other.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):
Working Paper No. 599 | May 2010
A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Microneighborhoods in Kingston, New YorkThis paper use spatial econometric models to test for racial preferences in a small urban housing market. Identifying racial preferences is difficult when unobserved neighborhood amenities vary systematically with racial composition. We adopt three strategies to redress this problem: (1) we focus on housing price differences across microneighborhoods in the small and relatively homogenous city of Kingston, New York; (2) we introduce GIS-based spatial amenity variables as controls in the hedonic regressions; and (3) we use spatial error and lag models to explicitly account for the spatial dependence of unobserved neighborhood amenities. Our simple OLS estimates agree with the consensus in the literature that black neighborhoods have lower housing prices. However, racial price discounts are no longer significant when we account for the spatial dependence of errors. Our results suggest that price discounts in black neighborhoods are caused not by racial preferences but by the demand for amenities that are typically not found in black neighborhoods.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Sanjaya DeSilva Anh Pham Michael SmithRelated Topic(s):

Sean Lee Injury: Devastated Cowboys Fans' 5 Stages of Grief
Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys lost linebacker Sean Lee for the season with a torn ACL. This is a tremendous blow for the Cowboys, as Lee is widely considered to be the leader of the team's defense. He was being blocked by Zack Martin, the Cowboys' rookie right guard out of Notre Dame, and landed the wrong way after slipping. Lee, the team leader in interceptions last season, had to be helped off of the field, and news of his injury spread fast. Cowboy fans on twitter are letting all of their emotions out, and like any grieving process, they are going through a variety of stages.
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Depression
4. Self-Pity
5. Renewed Hope
Hang in there, Cowboy fans. It gets better, maybe.

BENNINGTON A local man is facing a felony assault charge after police said he choked a man in Bennington.
Miguel E. Maisonet, 34, of Bennington pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of aggravated assault and misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct.
Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said police responded to a report of a fight June 22 around 9 p.m. on Depot Street.
Joseph and Kristie Pratt told police they were walking on the corner of Depot and River streets when they came across Maisonet petting a dog. Kristie Pratt told police she said excuse me to get around Maisonet but he became agitated and yelled at her, spit in her face and punched her, according to Fadens affidavit.
Joseph Pratt said Maisonet then hit him and pushed him up against a metal fence and choked him, the affidavit said.
Joseph Pratt said he was able to get away, but that when Maisonet was choking him he couldnt breathe, police said.
Another witness, who didnt know any of the people involved, gave police a similar statement.
Faden said he had many past professional encounters with Maisonet and that he was unusually aggressive June 22. The officer said Maisonet threatened his life and urinated on the floor of the holding cell at the Bennington Police Department.
Maisonet was released without bail but ordered to check in daily at the Bennington Police Department and not to have contact with the Pratts.MORE IN This Just InMany say they are encouraged by Mayor Christopher Louras recent decision to form a group of...

January 8, 2014 by Philip Jarabeck
When you're practicing for a tournament, catching a fish isn't nearly as important as finding places where you can catch fish. Because you check different places and put lures into all sorts of cover, you're going to get snagged up once in a while. However, I have a couple of ways to avoid losing snagged lures in practice. Instead of using the heavier hooks that a typical lure is packaged with, I'll put on hooks made of lighter wire. If they snag I'll have a lot better chance of pulling them free. Just remember to put the regular hooks back on the lure when it counts.
If you're practicing with umbrella rigs, or fishing in a tournament where they're allowed, you're going to get snagged sooner or later. That's especially bad, because a fully rigged umbrella rig is expensive to replace. Because of that, I came up with cheap lure retriever that works for me most of the time. I use a 4-ounce trolling sinker that's attached to an extra-strong treble hook with a strong 0-ring. At the other end I'll use a snap swivel to attach it to my fishing line. The retriever is tied to heavy line; say, 200-pound-test braid. It goes down fast, so once it gets to the snagged umbrella rig, I work it around until I feel it catch on the arm that's snagged. I might have to wrap the line to a boat cleat and then pull away with the trolling motor - whatever it takes. The snagged swimbait might break off, or the arm it's on could get messed up, but it beats losing the whole rig. The retriever costs all of about $3, by the way.

ArabTRUST Board Members
ArabTRUST Associate Director – Colin Stewart
Colin has been a member of ArabTRUST since 2003 and was voted on to the Board in November 2005.
In September 2011 he was elected Associate Director and formally accepted by Dundee United the following November.
Much of his remit revolves around developing long term community coaching initiatives. Colin is especially active on behalf of the United Youth Academy at St.Johns RC High School, Dundee.
Colin is married with two children and is Principal Teacher of Music at St John's RC High School, Dundee.
ArabTRUST Chairman – Gavin Muir
Gavin has been a member of ArabTRUST since it was formed and first joined the board of ArabTRUST in 2011 in the role of Treasurer. Gavin has been an Arab for over 40 years and attends both home and away matches with his wife Avril.
Gavin stays in Dunfermline and works in Edinburgh as a Senior Manager for LLoyds Banking Group
Dave Mulholland
David attended his first Dundee United match at the tender age of 6. He followed in the footsteps of his late father who was a diehard Arab who ensured his sons were regulars at Tannadice.
He has many fond memories of some great games involving Dundee United both at home and away. He remembers the first game against Barcelona at home when he and several hundred others managed to sneak in when the stewards opened the gates due to overcrowding in the street outside.
David joined the army at 16 but this did not stop him from returning to Dundee at every opportunity to see his beloved team.
He had many a cross word with his wife when he was explaining how important it was for him to fly from Cyprus (at a cost of several hundred pounds) to see United play in both the Scottish Cup final and the UEFA Cup final in the same week!
David has now returned to his native Dundee having served for 31 years in the regular army. He now works at the University of Dundee where he advises undergraduates on the career opportunities available to them as officers in the Armed Forces.
David joined ArabTRUST 's Board in 2005 and assumed the responsibility for organising events. He was instrumental in putting together the 'We Won The League At Dens' 25th Anniversary function at the Friary which was a huge success and raised a considerable sum for ArabTRUST causes.
He was elected ArabTRUST Chairman at the AGM in February 2009 but stepped down in August 2009 to give his time to the UNITED for ALL charitable organisation.
Twitter: @Djmulholland
Mike Barile
His family say he spends too much time on football business but he's addicted to Dundee United FC and the beautiful game.
Although he has been running buses to games for friends and family ever since he was 17 it was only during the dark season in which we were relegated that he joined a group who decided it was time for Arabs to stand up and be counted so they formed Ferrari's United and became an official Supporters Club.
Since then he has followed the natural progression of holding senior positions with both the Federation of Dundee United Supporters' Clubs and ArabTRUST.
In March 2011, Supporters Direct Scottish Council announced that Mike had been elected for a 1 year term of office.
Mike was ArabTRUST's Associate Director from 2004 until March 2011. His position at the Club came with unique access to Directors, Coaches, Players and Ex-players and allowed him to facilitate a considerable number of regular events which have taken place since his appointment to the role in 2004 such as the Open Days, Fans' Derbies, the Tangerine Masters and the fund raising social functions. In addition, he helped establish ArabTRUST's Tangerine Trading Post outlets and other special projects such as filming The Cundeez live at The Shed.
Through his links with organisations such as Supporters' Direct, Show Racism the Red Card, and Kick-out Bigotry he has been pro-active in getting a positive social message across to local youngsters. In partnership with DUFC he has helped organise regular seminars for schoolchildren over the last 5 years on the evils of Racism and Sectarianism.
Steve Gracie - Membership Secretary
Steve Gracie has been a United fan since forever and although he has no recollection of his first match, his grandad claimed Steve was on the pitch on 30th April 1960 when United won promotion to the top flight.
He spent over 30 years working in Bank of Scotland, graduating from office junior through a series of promotions and somewhere in the region of ten relocations in Scotland covering more that twenty different posts, culminating in a senior position in Edinburgh.
Ill health forced an early retirement and his return to live in Dundee in late 2001 soon brought him into contact with United where he had various jobs as employee and/or volunteer. Theses included T&B Main Contributor, Match Reporter, Lottery Manager, 50/50 Supervisor, Club Photographer, Match Day Lounge Host and Commercial Assistant/Administrator. He also found time to write three books on the history of Dundee United covering the first hundred years and at the request of the Club, prepared a DUFC Quiz Book.
With a wealth of varied experience, particularly in finance and business administration, Steve joins arabTrust as acting Membership Secretary (pending formal appointment). He has been a member of the Trust since the beginning and was, for a short time, part of the steering committee which brought arabTRUST into being.
His all time favourite player is David Narey and his best moment as a United supporter was winning the Scottish Cup in 1994, to fulfil a lifelong desire to see the Terrors win every major Scottish trophy.
Andy McCarle - Secretary
Andy is one of the founder members of ArabTRUSTt having been involved at the outset through his position as the then Treasurer of the Dundee United Business Club. He is a lifelong United supporter and has followed them as often as possible even when domiciled away from the Dundee area through work commitments.
Andy was educated at Lawside Academy and on leaving school immediately secured employment with the Bank of Scotland. He stayed with that organisation for almost 35 years finishing as an Area Director, Corporate Banking Tayside before retiring early in December 2006 – just before the financial crash although he denies he was responsible!
He was co-opted to the ArabTRUST Board in 2015, is a member of the Board of Maggie's Dundee and currently Treasurer of Dundee East Community Sports Club.
He is married and has two grown children who are also die-hard 'Arabs'.
Avril Muir
David Baxter
Stuart Campbell
Stuart has been a member of ArabTRUST for a few years and was co opted on to the Board in July 2015
He has been a season ticket holder at Dundee Utd for longer than he can remember. Stuart attended his first Utd game in 1980. Living in Cupar, he chose to support a club he could actually go and watch week in week out. As a young 12yr old he used to get the train to Dundee and walk to the ground to watch his team then the same in reverse to go home.
Stuart has been through the good and bad times supporting the club. He has said "Simply put Dundee United are pretty high on my priorities list (that's an understatement), only my family come ahead of Dundee United."
Stuart's favourite moments include the 1987 UEFA Cup Final and the 2010 Scottish Cup Final.
Stuart is married with two children and runs his own vehicle accident repair business in Glenrothes.
Colin Clement
Colin has been a member of the ArabTRUST for a number of years and joined the board in mid 2015 a season ticket holder for over 40 years he attends every home game, although not from an Arab supporting family one of his grandad's did have a season ticket for both United and Dundee at the same time for many years.
He's been going to see United with the same group of friends for around 30 years and has done a fair bit of travelling in his time with the trips to Gothenberg and Liege up there with the best of them.
Colin is married with one grown up son both his wife and sone are seson ticket holders and Arabs to the core.
Now retired he likes to travel and volunteers with Alzheimers Scotland he's also involved in a number of community groups within the Maryfield/Stobswell area of Dundee.
Colin McLaren
Colin has been a member of the AranTRUST for a few years and joined the board in July 2015.
The main reason Colin got involved with the ArabTRUST was his love of youth football, he spends his spare time either attending Dundee United games or running Newtyle United youth football club.
Newtyle United started in 2013 with only 3 children and has grown to over 80 children attending their football schools with 8 teams and 18 football coaches. Colin is the Chairman & Manager of the Newtyle United 2005 team and the good news is that Newtyle currently have 5 youngsters training with the United Academy.
Colin is married with five children all season tickets holders and attended his first game back in 1974 with the reason he gives for chosing United being that the at that time the team contained his first real hero the unforgettable Andy Gray.
Colin has supported United through some good and not so good times with his favourite memories being the away games in Manaco in 1981 and the 1987 Barcalona game and obviously all of the cup wins and that day we won the league at Dens.
His all time favourite player is Paul Hegarty.
