Managing your funds while attending college can be tricky, but it's a great way to develop skills as a savvy money manager. From the process of applying for financial aid to learning to live on a college student's budget, here is what you need to know.
M State has a tuition due date each semester. Students who have not secured a payment option for M State on the tuition due date will be dropped from their courses. Click here to find out the tuition due date.
At the start of each semester, students receive a $12.50 printing credit added to their network account. The printing credit provides students with a limited amount of free printing to the campus networked printers. Once the $12.50 printing credit has been used up, students are responsible for purchasing any additional printing that is needed. Additional prints may be purchased at the printing kiosk located on each campus. Per sheet printing costs are 5 cents for black and white and 25 cents for color. Student printing balances can be viewed at any time by logging in to the SpartanNet portal.

Why are gutters so important to my house?
Most homeowners don't spend a lot of time thinking about their gutters, but understanding their importance may prevent costly home repair bills in the future.
Gutters funnel water off of the roof and away from your home, which protects your siding, windows, doors and foundation from water damage. While that sounds important, many homeowners don't realize how much damage can occur when their gutters are clogged, leaking, or broken. When gutters aren't functioning properly, rainwater runs off the roof of the house and collects on the ground near the foundation. Heavy rains can result in standing pools of water, which can cause a multitude of problems.
Gutters protect your home from:
Gutters should be cleaned twice a year, in early spring and late fall.
"Have your gutters checked to be sure they aren't pulling away from the house. If they are, talk to a gutter installation professional about changing the spikes holding the gutters to screws. Screws do a much better job of holding the gutters in place," says Jim Radcliffe, co-founder of Medallion Inspections in Atlanta. "And make sure your downspouts are clear and not blocked by leaves, and that the water from gutters, downspouts, and around the house flows at least 10 feet away from your house."
Many homeowners prefer to clean their own gutters, while others hire a gutter expert to do the cleaning for a reasonable cost.The cost of hiring a professional to clean your gutters is a pittance compared to the money you'll spend on repairs to your home if they aren't functioning properly.
If you are cleaning the gutters yourself, make sure to check for rusted spots, dents and holes, broken gutter hangers, and disconnected joints. Repair or replace any problem areas.
For information on how to clean your gutters or decide whether you want to hire a professional, please see our article Should I clean my gutters myself?

text: When a sewer backs up, the "low man on the totem pole" will flood first, then as the water level in his basement rises, the next lower house will start to fill up. It is strictly a matter of elevation. I once had a customer whose finished lower level started to flood about Midnight. After some diagnosis, I decided it was a city problem and called the emergency number. We finally determined that a manhole which was buried under the blacktop was the part of the solution because there was about a square mile of sewer backed up. My customer was one of the few with a basement in the area, and also the lowest house. IF the city had not removed the stoppage, my customer would have been the recipient of ALL the water used for showers and sinks in the area the next morning. After chopping out the blacktop and beating on the manhole cover to loosen it, a "million" cockroaches came scurrying out of the manhole and we jumped up on our trucks to let them go by.

School Spotlight
Whether you're on your way to the library or stopping by City Hall, chances are you're driving by St. John Vianney School, located in the heart of Brookfield. This blog will provide insight into life and education at SJV, a 4K-8 educational anchor in Brookfield since 1957.
Welcome Back!
With the sad realization that summer is winding down, the new school year brings the exciting news of recent Saint John Vianney school improvements. With the help of guidance counselor Teri Kovars, I got the opportunity to tour the school the other day and see the recent changes.
For the first time ever, a new air conditioning system, something our students and staff will notice on those remaining hot September days.
Newly installed heating units.
Recently installed energy efficient windows and doors in the cafeteria. In addition, a brand new brick wall was built around the windows to enhance the energy system. The cafeteria floor was resurfaced and freshly painted, most notably the athletic stripes on the floor, as the room is often used as an auxiliary gym.
A freshly painted health room and school office, along with new chairs for waiting school visitors.
A new bench directly outside the school office, for the students to wait for carpools or busses.
Courtesy of the Bid for Kids monies - six new Smart Boards have been installed. A seventh Smart Board, along with a supplemental computer program called SynchronEyes for the computer lab, was donated by a very generous school family.
Also courtesy of Bids for Kids - a new acoustic piano, a digital Clavinova piano, new desks in the 6th grade, new religion and language texts throughout the school, and a new concrete play area outside the K4 classroom.
Walking through the school, I could not help feeling that the new additions seem to reflect the pride and joy of the St. John Vianney community. Along with our new principal, Mrs. Jayme Hartmann, we are also proud to introduce Mrs. Joyce Block as our computer teacher, Mrs. Gerise Grzeszczak as the Reading Specialist and Mrs. Jennifer Williams as a first grade teacher. With all of this, we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful start!
Students Inspired by Social Studies
Two of SJV's very own 8th graders, Matthew Cekanor and Sung Yeon Won, prompted by an assignment from their Social Studies class unit on Social Justice, have coordinated a fundraiser. This miniature golf fundraiser, to be held at the National Golf Center in Big Bend, will benefit the DAAA (Dwarf Athletic Assocation of America). The Dwarf Athletic Assocation of America promotes and provides quality amateur athletic opportunities for dwarf athletes in the United States. The National Golf Center is owned by Paul Mindel and his family, a parish and school family. A donation will be made by the National Golf Center to DAAA for every round of miniature golf and bucket of range balls purchased during the weekend.
This fundraiser is just one example of SJV's efforts to educate our students about social justice and inspire them to think about what they can do for their community. The assignment was to come up with an action plan of helping a person or a group of people. Many of the plans included babysitting, helping a neighbor, creating a fundraising lemonade stand, and even holding a sports camp. If the students actually execute their plans they will receive extra credit in their 8th grade Social Studies classes - not to mention helping their community!

LOL, I am waiting for you to join ;-) Maybe if they´ll built a lift, haha. Thank you, Angelo, also for the good laugh :-)
I have a bad back at the moment, Iris, so all the climbing I can manage is one flight of stairs! Perhaps I could get carried to the Everest top on the shoulders of four very strong Sherpas though! ;-)

Kiss Me, Kate at Backdoor Theatre
Kiss Me, Kate at Backdoor Theatre
Start Date:
Mar. 08, 2014
End Date:
Mar. 08, 2014
Backdoor Theatre on the Main Stage (opening Valentine's Day February 14) Girls, Guns, Gangsters! Toe tapping, knee slapping, butt spanking tunes that will leave you with wanting to "brush up your Shakespeare" and cool down, because this musical coming to Backdoor Theatre is "Too Darn Hot!" Kiss Me, Kate is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The story involves the production of a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and the conflict on and off-stage between Fred Graham, the show's director, producer, and star, and his leading lady, his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi. A secondary romance concerns Lois Lane, the actress playing Bianca, and her gambler boyfriend, Bill, who runs afoul with some gangsters. The gangsters mistake Fred for owing a debt and to ensure payment, wind up on the Shakespearian stage with the other actors, and end up discovering a love for the dramatic flair of theatre! Tickets are available online at www.backdoortheatre.org and over the phone at (940) 322-5000. The performance shows every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from Feb. 14-March 8, 2014.

Hello all,
I'm hoping to gain a little insight on a particular problem involving gene languages. In my implementation of GA, I've defined my gene language as a binary string consisting of 8 digits. A single gene, then, can represent one of a possible 256 values. For the most part, I won't have 256 distinct objects to be represented by the entire range that my gene can represent. This presents a problem for me when I go to mutate or reproduce chromosomes. The process will usually cause the new chromosome to have genes that are invalid (values that don't represent anything in my language).
For example, say I have 15 objects I want represented by my gene language. That means a valid gene is within the set of all 8 digit binary strings that correspond to the values 0-14. So how do I go about mapping or transforming the other 241 binary strings in the language to one of those in my set?

First Gear Heated Rider Leather Gloves Reviews:
Comment: Got these a couple weeks ago. I was impressed by how quickly they warm. And in 35-40 degree weather at 50-70mph, they kept my fingers from freezing. The back of the hand got a little too hot after slowing to 20-30 mph, required dialing down the controller. But what a great feeling to arrive to work after 45-60 minutes of riding, and BEING ABLE TO USE MY HANDS RIGHT AWAY!!!
Comment: For those who ride in cold weather a lot, this is a must. What a big relief! I recommend buying one size larger.
Comment: Why didn't I order these the first winter I had my bike? Along with the jacket and the First Gear Heat Troller, I am toasty warm. Can't wait to see how low the temperature goes before it's finally too cold to ride!
Tom Johnson
At my desk in Hollister, MO
Comment: My first pair of heated gloves and I got a great deal. They are warm and connect to a heated jacket easiy. They run true to size.
Hickory, NC
Comment: Got these with the jacket, they really make riding in the cold much easier, much more pleasant.
Pacific NW
Comment: Once again awesome. A little hard to get used to the thickness, I keep blowing my horn when trying to use my blinkers. I finally got used to it. Again, hands never got cold!!!!

Carey Torno

Comment: It's worth getting everything, I got the First Gear Heat Gloves, First Gear Heated Pant Liner, First Gear Heated 90 Watt Jacket Liner, Fist Gear Heated Socks and a Dual Remote Control Heat Troller Kit. Pricy but very comfortable. So Far I drove in 37 degree weather and windy. Well worth the investment.
Comment: Comfortable and fit good
Lynchburg, VA
Firstgear offers four different styles of heated gloves; the Heated Carbon
Glove, the Heated Rider Glove, the Women's Passenger Glove, and the Heated Glove
Liner. In this video we are taking a look at the Heated Rider Glove. The heated
rider glove is available in Men's and ladies sizes. The men's version is
available in sizes sm -2xl and the ladies version is available in sizes sm-lg.
They are constructed from top grain cowhide leather and feature an Aqrotex
breathable, waterproof membrane. The liner is made of Thinsulate and the fingers
are precurved making these true motorcycling gloves. There is a large flex panel
in the carpal area and adjustable Velcro straps on the wrist and underside of
the gauntlet. The left thumb features a strip of rubber that is used to clear
your helmet faceshield.
Connecting your First Gear Heated items is easy, but there are numerous
different types of controller options available. To see all of the different
Heat-Troller options, check out our video showing many of the ways to set up and
control your new Firstgear heated gear.
Now that you have selected the type of Heat-Troller that best suits your needs,
you can go ahead and connect your gloves. If you are using a pair of gloves or
glove liners in conjunction with the heated jacket, simply plug the female glove
lead into the male lead coming out of the sleeve of the jacket. If you are using
a pair of gloves by themselves, you will need to purchase a DC Coax Plug
Y-Harness, and the Heat-Troller of your choice, which will come with the DC Coax
Battery Harness. Hold the split ends of the y-harness in your hands when you put
your jacket on and you'll be wired up. Plug the gloves into the y-harness and
then the y-harness into the Firstgear Heat-Troller. Once you have started your
motorcycle, you can turn on the Heat-Troller and adjust the setting to your

Eat Yourself Out Of Overtraining
- By Jeff Gaudette
- Published Feb. 27, 2014
- Updated Feb. 27, 2014 at 7:39 AM UTC
Use these three simple but effective nutrition changes to help dig yourself out of a hole.
If you're a fairly serious runner, you're bound to go through periods in your training cycle when you over do it. Even elite runners, who have coaches literally monitoring almost every step they take, can fall into the trap of training too hard and pushing their body beyond its limits.
While finding the perfect balance between putting in the necessary miles and allowing for proper recovery is the Holy Grail for all runners, the reality is that many often overstep the tight rope that is optimal training and find themselves bordering on being overtrained and desperate for recovery.
RELATED: What Runners Can Learn From Bodybuilders
If you ever find yourself in this dreaded position, backing off your training isn't the only solution, nor is it guaranteed to improve the situation. The amount and types of food you put into your body before–and even more importantly, after–your workouts can help the recovery process. On the next few pages are three simple, but effective nutrition changes you can make to help dig yourself out of that ovetraining hole.

Senator to visit Carroll Co. company, hold roundtable discussion with
management and workers
On Friday, July 20, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) will visit English American Tailoring Company in Westminster, which is one of the few remaining clothing manufacturers in Maryland. The Senator will tour the plant and meet with workers and management to discuss the need to keep jobs in the United States and to provide American companies with more support so they can compete in the global marketplace.
Senator Cardin is a co-sponsor of the Bring Jobs Home Act, S. 3364, which is being considered by the U.S. Senate and would end taxpayer subsidies that help move jobs overseas. The bill also provides tax credits to encourage U.S. companies to move production back to the United States. English American Tailoring, which has 380 unionized workers, was founded more than 100 years ago and uses some of the finest wool and other materials to produce suits. To support U.S. clothing manufacturers, Senator Cardin has worked on legislation that would "level the playing field" for U.S. companies that import wool fabrics.
· WHAT: Senator Cardin to tour English American Tailoring Co. and hold roundtable discussion on need to keep jobs in America
· WHEN: Friday, July 20 at 2:30 p.m.
· WHERE: 414 N. Cranberry Road, Westminster, Maryland

Hunter girls, Hampton boys prevail
By Tim Chambers
A capacity crowd was on hand at Hunter Elementary School on Monday to watch the Tigers try and take the bite out of a bunch of Jr. Bulldogs. The Lady Cats found success in their quest, but the boys got bitten by the Blue Canines.
Hunter ended a long drought by knocking off the Lady Bulldogs 53-44. Hampton cruised to a 52-30 win on the boys' side.
Hunter 53
Hampton 44
A close contest for one quarter began to see some separation in the second stanza due to the red-hot shooting Lady Tigers.
Hunter used a pair of late baskets by Monica Honeycutt and Kaitlin Burrow to take a 10-6 lead, but a runner at the buzzer from Hope Bridgeman got the Lady Bulldogs within two going into the second frame.
Hampton 52
Hunter 30
Chris Holtsclaw torched Hunter for 18 points, including 14 in the first quarter, that allowed the 'Dogs to take a commanding 22-4 lead and cruise to a win.

Capital One Bowl Pick: Georgia vs Nebraska
Nebraska comes into this game with a 10-3 record, but they can't have much confidence after being thrashed by the Wisconsin Badgers in the Big Ten title game. The Georgia Bulldogs were one play away from being in the BCS Championship Game. Instead, they missed out on the BCS bowls altogether. This game has a lot of interesting little sub plots.

Diving! Diving!
Diving right in here.
At one point, early on, the Supreme Court and Constitution were not intended to dominate law in individual states.
The Federalists began to change this idea a bit. A lot of state constitutions were changed relatively quickly to fall in line with the big one. I find Madison (and Jefferson) to be extremely interesting in this particular respect. From what I've read, he did about 180 degree turn.
It has been along time since I delved into the Federalist Papers but I think the quote has to do with realigning the states constitutions under the federal constitution as supreme law.
That probably sounds weird at first glance but they were intent on learning from other nations mistakes. I'd lay odds on this one. They were talking about centralizing certain authority primarily international trade and military. (scratch, scratch,...I reckon).
Remember what happened after the civil war? Lincoln took this a leap forward.
I do NOT think they envisioned anything like the Patriot Act.

Truth and Error: A Necessary Collision"But the peculiar evil in silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation: those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."

The run up in grain prices last year may have presented some with a great opportunity, but for many growers, it messed with our ideas about what our crop is worth. This is evidenced by the large number of growers who haven't priced this year's crop. Some are still waiting to market their '08 crop. All of this creates panic. Jason Ladman talks with KRVN's Ken Rahjes about acknowledging the past and being able to move forward in a better direction....with a plan. Removing the Panic Creating a Plan - Ladman AUDIO

Crespo predicts Napoli-Juve title battle
Former Inter Milan striker Hernan Crespo believes that the current season can only be won by Napoli or Juventus.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
Crespo played most recently for Parma in the 2011/12 season but he is currently a free agent following the early termination of his contract in February.
The Argentinean starred for AC Milan, Inter Milan and Lazio in the past but he does not feel that his former clubs have a chance of stopping Napoli or Juventus from racing clear in the title race.
The two clubs have impressed football observers as they have posted an unbeaten start to their respective campaigns and downed the likes of Udinese, Roma and Lazio. In comparison, AC Milan and Inter Milan have not been as consistent with the Rossoneri having been particularly erratic with their performances of late.
Despite the season being just seven games old, Crespo feels confident in declaring that Napoli and Juventus are favourites for the Scudetto this season. The two sides are set to do battle in the Serie A on October 20 at the Juventus Stadium as well.
"Unless something extraordinary happens, I think Napoli and Juventus are favourites [for the title]," Crespo told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"They both have a recent history of winning, their coaches are amongst the best and the teams have already proven their worth this season.
"Other teams are one step behind those two."
Currently, the Serie A is taking a break as the players are currently occupied with a spate of international matches with their respective national squads.
The former Argentina international, however, is not too excited about international football as he stated: "It's a shame [about the internationals], because neither team will have a fresh squad to put on a show next Saturday."
Juve last played Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana back in August with the Bianconeri winning 4-2 after extra time.

DC Shoes for Women: SS09!
25 September 2008, 18.32 | Posted in Chicks with Kicks, Sneakers | No comments »
DC Shoes spring line looks great–a little bit of something for everyone–canvas skimmers, lows and (still my personal fave) hightops. Kudos to DC for designing for women and not just taking down their most popular men's styles and coloring them in with a pink crayon. There's no denying that these dotted mids with the assymetrical laces and buttons on the strap are strictly made for the ladies and only the seriously stylish ones at that.

BELLEVILLE — The sounds of whistles blowing, coaches yelling and tennis shoes squeaking will be heard this weekend during the Southwestern Illinois College Varsity Girls Basketball Tournament at the Belleville Family Sportsplex.
The 11th annual event, which provides coaches and fans a sneak peak of many of the projected top players and teams for the upcoming season, tips off at 10 a.m. Saturday with four first-round pool-play games.
A total of 12 teams, including Belleville East, O'Fallon, Mascoutah, Central and Red Bud, will play three games apiece today.
The teams will then be put into a standard tournament bracket on Sunday, with the title game set for 2 p.m.
"I like the way the tournament is set up this year. Before, when we had 16 or 24 teams, we would have two or three eight-team brackets. This way, we'll have one bracket and one champion," tournament director Mike Juenger said. "I think we'll have another good tournament. This is a great event for a lot of these teams, because the coaches get to see their kids play five or six games in two days.
"If you like girls high school basketball, this is a place to see it the next couple off days."
Tickets will be available at the door and are $5 for adults and $2 for students.
Also in the field is Jerseyville, Mount Vernon and Alton from the Illinois side, along with Jennings, Ursuline Academy, and St. Louis Notre Dame from Missouri.
The tournament will feature the coaching debut of Stephanie Harris of Jerseyville. Harris spent the last two years as head coach at Highland.
Among the noticeable absentees this year is perennial Missouri state power Incarnate Word. Juenger said that because of camps, select teams and family vacations, it's becoming more difficult to attract teams.
"A lot of these coaches don't want to get in these events as much, because they don't know who they're going to have from week to week because of other commitments in the summer," Juenger said. "I think it's an excellent opportunity to let some of the younger kids play and see what they can do.
"Summer is about playing and letting the kids have fun, anyway."

That's no accident. Playing such down home, Western-style music has been a passion of Cowboys lead singer and co-founder David John his entire life.
"Just watching old cowboy movies when I was a kid, I guess," John told the Sparks Tribune about the root of his musical inspiration. "Gene Autry, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne."
The Duke's trademark walk would be an appropriate visual accompaniment to the group's music. Formed in the mid-1990s by John and his brother Rich, the Comstock Cowboys have released 10 albums with an 11th due out soon. With titles like "Songs of the Old West," "Cowboys, Old Fiddles and Wine" and "Runaway Train," the songs are throwbacks to a day more than 150 years gone by — or at least our cultural mythology of those days. John said he likes to write songs about real historical figures and events like Wyatt Earp and the Battle of Little Bighorn, songs he calls "cowboy music," to distinguish it from the modern "country music" that is nothing more than pop in boots.
John grew up a New England farm boy in Connecticut, but he has twang running through his veins. He learned to play guitar as a child and his family had its own band. Mom played piano, dad drums and he and his two brothers on guitar. They played parties and before he could legally drink John was playing in saloons from Florida to New York. He started playing professionally in his 20s in Nashville and has been going ever since. Between his solo endeavors and work with the Comstock Cowboys, John has played with the likes of Merle Haggard and Elvis Presley's former accompanists, the Jordan-aires.
Despite the longevity of the music, John said there are no modern influences in the group's music. However, John said, members Rich Liska (vocals, keyboard, dobro, steel guitar), Dale Poune (vocals, lead guitar), Robert "Doc" Quam (vocals, fiddle and mandolin), Rick Hammel (vocals and bass) and Mike Ansoteque (percussion, washboard) each add their own personal touch to the distinctive sound.
"We also add our own brand to it," John said. "We don't do it in the traditional style, otherwise you become an impersonator of somebody old. We try to put our own brand on it and try not to copy any particular singer or artist."
While on stage, the band does try to copy faithfully the dress of the Old West. Between custom costumes and clothes purchased at The Red Garter in Virginia City and the occasional six-shooter (if the venue will allow the musicians to wear them), the Comstock Cowboys are both an audible and visible flashback to the 1800s, and so is their audience.
"Most of our fans dress the part," John said. "They get into it."
Flashing forward to today, John said the group is in the process of finishing its new CD from its recording studio in the hills of Gardnerville. The album will have a Western gospel theme, which is oft-requested by fans. The Cowboys have performed such music at shows and finally decided to lay down a full album of gospel-influenced recordings. Pennsylvania country singer Lacy J. Dalton is a guest on the CD, which, like all Cowboys albums, will be on the group's own label, Aztec Records. John said the group's music is available for purchase at Wal-Mart, as well as online at www.comstockcowboys.com.
The Web site also has 30-second samples of Comstock Cowboys songs from previously released albums. Steve Stein of Wildest Westerns magazine wrote that the group's songs "tell of life, death, horses and cowboys, taking us back to a simpler time." They do, complete with simple strumming and gee-tar pickin' sure to make toughest buckaroo swoon. "People who come to see us they don't expect anything trendy," John said. "You're going to go back in time. ... We don't have to worry about doing songs that stay up with trends."
By the time the show is over, you'll be brushing the desert dust off your ears.
The Comstock Cowboys will perform Friday night at 8 p.m. in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga's Nugget. Tickets are $18.50 and available for purchase by calling 356-3300.

By Claire Jeffers
It's the bustling, early dinner hour. Two master chefs in command of the sushi bar act like the artists they are, painting pictures with rice, raw fish, seaweed and micro greens. Despite the rush of customers and demand of orders, these two masters look up each time a new guest arrives at Miyake on Fore Street to call out a greeting in their native tongue.
Nigiri and Sashimi bites are offered starting at $4 at Miyake on Fore Street.
Claire Jeffers photos
Japanese-made Hitachino XH Sake Cask Ale ($7.50) is as distinctive as Miyake's menu.
WHERE: 468 Fore St.
WEBSITE: miyakerestaurants.com/miyake
HOURS: Lunch 11:30-2:30, dinner 5:30 to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday; closed Sunday.
SPECIALS: Ask your server; the menu changes almost daily, depending on fresh ingredients from Miyake Farm in Freeport.
AMENITIES: Clean and modern bathrooms; open kitchen and sushi bar.
PARKING: Street and validated parking at the Union Street garage after 5 p.m.
BOTTOM LINE: Don't let the chic decor fool you. The mood and ambiance at Miyake on Fore Street are both warm and inviting. Sit at the sushi bar for a captivating experience.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE: Yes
Miyake moved to Fore Street, next to the Portland Harbor Hotel, in June 2011 from its original location on Spring Street. Just a year before, Chef Masa Miyake opened his second restaurant, the now booming Pai Men Miyake, a noodle house located in Longfellow Square. And he's preparing to open a new Japanese-style pub at the original Spring Street spot in mid-October.
So, by the end of 2013, Chef Miyake will have a stake in three Japanese-style restaurants in Portland.
Each restaurant Chef Miyake and his business partner, Will Garfield, have opened in the past six years has had its own distinguishing characteristics – Food Factory Miyake was casual and off the beaten path; Pai Men is a hot spot for a hip, foodie crowd. And it occurred to a few people that an upscale sushi bar, such as Miyake on Fore Street, could be just that – a bar.
From the outside, Miyake looks like a ritzy Old Port eatery, with a modern, chic decor and high-end table service. But because of Chef Masa Miyake's growing reputation as Maine's Japanese culinary master, he and Garfield have keenly found a way to cater to the crowds.
Consider the beer list – a straightforward selection of eight brews under $8 and most around $4.50 to $5. And if done carefully, bites at the sushi bar won't crush the bank, such as the $4 to $5 orders of nigiri or sashimi.
But I would be remiss to not call attention to what the restaurant prides itself on: the 4-course tasting menu ($50) and sake list (glasses range in price from $8.50 to $13 and bottles start at $22). Served refreshingly cold in a pristine wine glass, the silk-deluxe junmai sake ($9) was light with notes of caramel and honey. Non-alcoholic drinks include iced matcha green tea and sparkling yuzu lemonade, both for $3.50.
The four-course tasting menu is robust and daring and features items grown and raised on Miyake Farm – Chef Miyake's family farm in Freeport – such as the Yaki Buta (braised pork belly with teriyaki sauce).
But half the fun is the view from the sushi bar. A long, pine counter seats about 15 and stylish light fixtures dangle overhead against a modern, asymmetrical ceiling design. The main dining area sheds a warm glow across the simple but sophisticated room.
Most nights Chef Miyake is behind the sushi bar with his crew, doing what some might call a graceful cooking dance – grilling pork on the hibachi grill or deftly plating lobster tail with a lobster carrot sauce. But on this particular night, the chef was traveling in his native Japan, gathering what I hope will be the makings of yet another burst of inspiration.

The results for the blood tests done on February 20 showed marked improvement in my cholesterol levels. At the same time, I do not seem to be suffering any side effect of Lipitor as evident from the renal and liver profiles. This is good news indeed. I am to continue with the 10mg daily dosage. The doctors scheduled another blood test in June just to be sure.
Since I started on the cholesterol-reducing medicine, I have cut down dramatically on pork in my diet and replaced that with fish, either salmon or threadfin. Additionally, it is supplemented with folic acid, Vitamin B complex, cordyceps, Omega-3 fish oil and CoenzymeQ10.
It may appear like I am taking too many pills and turning into a supplement junkie. Anything to keep my frail kidneys at it current functional levels. Besides, these supplements do not seem to be doing any damage to my health apart from making a big dent in my bank account.

The one-year permit, signed by Norwood District Ranger Judy Schutza, will allow Telski guides to take clients on about 2,500 acres of USFS service lands adjacent to the Telluride Ski Resort in Upper Bear Creek, Lower Bear Creek, the East Fork of Bear creek, Lena Basin and the Alta Lakes Basin, all referred to as "sidecountry" – the term used for terrain that lies outside a permitted ski area but is easily accessed from its chairlifts.
"I think it's an asset to add a guided ski tour as an option for people, versus just going on your own," said Schutza, whose agency approached Telski about offering the guided tours on the public lands made accessible by five backcountry gates installed on the perimeter of the ski area in the fall of 2009.
Prior to those gates' installation, an ineffective closure order on Bear Creek was in place that did little to dissuade those seeking the deep powder and sublime thrills for which the drainage is known.
"The next step was to not only have Bear Creek open to the public, but to offer a guided service for those who are not familiar with the area," and who don't understand winter backcountry travel, Schutza said.
"In general, if you don't know what you're doing, go with a guide; if you're unfamiliar with the area or want to have a better experience, go with a guide," she continued.
Prices will range from $275 for a semi-private full-day trip to $625 for a private full-day trip, to which up to three additional participants may be added for $95 per person. The prices do not include the cost of lift tickets.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to educate people who want to go in, or who are going in the Creek now," said Telski Chief Executive Officer Dave Riley. "It's an opportunity to learn what the protocols are, and how to ski the Creek."
"As it stands now, it's a free for all."
The permit allows guided trips to exit the ski area only through the Gold Hill, Palmyra Peak and Alta Saddle Access backcountry access gates, and allocates Telski a total of 300 service days for winter backcountry tours including 250 in Bear Creek and 50 at Alta Lakes. Total service days are calculated by multiplying each service day by the number of clients on a trip, so a half-day or full-day trip attended by four clients would count as a total of four service days.
The guiding program will also rely entirely on avalanche forecasting and may not use explosives or conduct any type of avalanche hazard mitigation in the operating area, according to Schutza's decision memo.
Earlier in the process, the Town of Telluride, joined by the San Miguel Conservation Foundation, raised two issues with the permit application.
The first regarded the potential for the Telski trips to violate a conservation easement held by the SMCF prohibiting commercial activity in the town-owned Bear Creek Preserve in Lower Bear Creek. As originally proposed, guides and clients would have crossed through the Preserve to exit Bear Creek.
In response to that concern, Telski amended its proposal to ensure that its trips do not enter the Preserve, and travel on Forest Service lands only to connect with the San Miguel County-owned Bear Creek Road, which is not subject to the terms of the conservation easement, to exit Bear Creek.
To do that, however, the tours must stay on the Wasatch Trail, which both government officials and private citizens have criticized as dangerous and unrealistic – dangerous because it travels under multiple avalanche chutes and across an open bridge, and unrealistic because it would be difficult to find in extreme winter conditions.
Town Attorney Kevin Geiger wrote of the Wasatch Trail in a letter to Schutza, "It appears that this anticipated route will be a more challenging route with enhanced exposure to greater avalanche danger" than other preferred routes.
First, the route cannot be accomplished by snowboard without hiking, local snowboarder Gabe Wright wrote to the USFS. Additionally, "The Wasatch Trail goes directly under four of the largest avalanche chutes in the Bear Creek basin...Nellie's Mine, Revelation, Tempter, and Sioux 6 – ALL [emphasis his] of which this year have released full course across the Wasatch Trail and the Bear Creek Trail multiple times," he continued.
Wright, who has traveled in Bear Creek for over 16 years, told The Watch: "I have spent way more time back there [in Bear Creek] than I should," noting he just logged his 100th day this season.
"That's an excuse people are making that don't like the idea of us guiding in the Creek," Riley rebutted, noting that there are avalanche chutes throughout Bear Creek, and the point is that Telski guides are trained to avoid dangerous situations.
"Our guides are well aware of how to ski the Creek and when to ski the Creek," he said. "We know the terrain, we've mapped the terrain. We know where avalanches start, where they stop and under what conditions they run."
"There are times when we're not going to go; when a client wants to go in the Creek and we're going to say no."
Yet the controversy is not so easily explained away if the remainder of Wright's letter is any indication.
"I am a huge supporter of Telski's expansion of their ski-able terrain. I support the expansion of gates into Bear Creek as well as the legalized skiing of the Bear Creek drainage. However, I do not believe that Telski should be allowed to operate commercially on the Bear Creek Trail."
"I feel that Telski is attempting to fool the Forest Service into approving a plan that works only on paper."
Another point of contention for the town, the Conservation Foundation and even San Miguel County, is the process by which the USFS granted the approval.
"Were disappointed that the Forest Service granted this application," said Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser. "We feel, as does the San Miguel Conservation Foundation, as holders of conservation easement, that it doesn't allow for community input. Actually, we feel that there should have been a more public process."
"I'm very disappointed that the Forest Service would issue a permit like that, most especially when they heard such strong opposition," said SMCF Executive Director Gary Hickcox, who clarified that his organization's concern is only that the Bear Creek Preserve conservation easement prohibition on commercial activity may be violated.
"The reality is that there is a way they can actually ski down into Bear Creek and stay on Forest Service property and stay on Bear Creek Road without trespassing on the Bear Creek Preserve," he said. "The reality is that conditions may not allow them to and would put them in the position of trespassing on the Bear Creek Preserve where no commercial activity is allowed."
That said, "We don't oppose private skiers going through the Preserve," he said. "The whole point of the purchase was public access; the public can use it, this is why we bought it."
"My big problem here is the process," said San Miguel County Commissioner Joan May. "There's been no public notice."
Schutza disagreed, noting in her memo that per USFS policy, "No single technique is required or prescribed for public scoping. The responsible official has the discretion to determine what level of scoping is conducted."
Additionally, the Forest Service contacted the Telluride, Mountain Village and San Miguel County governments, the San Miguel Conservation Foundation, the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office, Sheep Mountain Alliance, and existing Bear Creek special use permit holders including the San Juan Outdoor School, Telluride Helitrax, Telluride Mountain Guides, the Telluride Academy, Herb Walker Tours and Adventures Cross Country, prior to issuing the permit.
"It's a matter of terminology," she said. "The public was involved."
She later added, "This action actually falls into a category as having such a low impact that I didn't even have to write a decision memo."
For his part Riley believes a double standard may be at work, noting that other commercial operators have violated the Bear Creek Preserve conservation easement without similar scrutiny.
For example, "People are hiring guides underground to ski from Ophir into Telluride, it's done illegally and it's going through the Preserve lands," he said.
"We jumped through a bunch of hoops and amended our proposal, and they still haven't done anything about the non-Telski commercial activities that are occurring there."
"We will deal with those other entities," said Fraser.
"It's very important that we have a level playing field and a single standard," said Schutza. "We need to have the same standard for everyone."

The city's interim fire chief told City Council members on Tuesday that operating under a $90.6 million budget without layoffs or idled rigs would be challenging but possible with help from the city's fire union.
Interim Chief Bernard Kanger said labor contract adjustments would be "critical" to meet his budget.
Mayor Jean Stothert initially recommended achieving the savings through a combination of layoffs, demotions, reassignments and idled rigs.
Stothert tapped Kanger, a battalion chief, to fill in after she signed an agreement Monday for Chief Mike McDonnell's exit.
The terms of McDonnell's retirement bar the city from layoffs or idling most equipment through next July 1. City finance officials, though, said those options would return to the table next summer to save money.
McDonnell's exit agreement will add to Fire Department costs during the first half of next year, acting Finance Director Al Herink told council members.
"But then after June 30, we'll make a determination of what needs to be done," he said.
"We'll right-size the department with the resources available. And I suppose it would be some type of layoffs and taking two rigs out of service."
Kanger, responding to questions from council members, said the department needs to find "efficient and cost-effective" ways to operate, without undermining services.
"I'm not a supporter of shutting down apparatus or closing rigs, so I will work very hard with my management team in order to make sure that we find the resources in order to keep everything open and operating, in order to provide those services," Kanger said.
"With regards to the labor union, I would ask them to partner with me and to be willing to discuss all options. I'm certainly willing to listen to everything that they have to bring to the table."
If union and department officials can compromise, Kanger said, the budget can be met.
Going back to the contract "is going to be critical," Kanger said. "There's areas there that need to be evaluated."
More important, he said, is getting the union and fire management together "to help rebuild the trust with the public, that we're doing the right thing and we're doing it in an efficient manner."
Stothert said the city can take other steps to create savings, such as reducing staff assigned to department headquarters or reducing overtime expenses.
In addition to agreeing to protect current department staff members from layoffs through July 1, the city agreed to maintain three assistant chief positions through 2014. The fourth chief will retire this October.
The agreement keeps all existing fire equipment in service through July 1, with the exception of a medic unit based in South Omaha. That ambulance could be idled at the beginning of next year, Herink said.
McDonnell, 47, will receive an estimated annual pension of $130,800. He said that is about $900 a month more than he would be eligible for with his 23 years and 10 months of service. The city would pay his share of pension contributions through October 2014, which would have been his 25th anniversary.
Aaron Hanson, secretary of the city's police and fire pension board, said the agreement could cost the pension system money because of the early payout to McDonnell.
"This early buyout agreement with the fire chief must be cost-neutral to the fund, as if it never happened," said Hanson, a former president of the police union.
"As a trustee, I could care less about an agreement between two people, as long as if it doesn't negatively impact the funding of the pension plan."
The pension board will need to approve the final pension amount, payroll manager Deb Sander has said.

FLOW-3D/MP: High Performance Computing for CFD Applications
FLOW-3D/MP version 5.0 enables engineers to take advantage of the scaling potential of the software on multi-core 64-bit clusters. FLOW-3D users with access to Linux HPC clusters can obtain simulation results for their transient free-surface problems by using FLOW-3D/MP. Version 5.0 is a hybrid parallel version of FLOW-3D v10.1 and uses Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP to achieve parallelization. The OpenMP paradigm is based on shared memory architecture (fine-grained or loop-level parallelism) while MPI is based on a distributed memory, domain decomposition paradigm (coarse-grained). The physical domain is decomposed into blocks or MPI domains, which are then associated with MPI processes and assigned to nodes on a cluster. Within nodes, the MPI processes spawn threads and perform multi-threaded calculations using OpenMP directives. The physical models and numerical methods of FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 are based on FLOW-3D v10.1.
Highlights of FLOW-3D/MP v5.0
- Developed and optimized for the latest multi-core architecture
- Physical models fully synced with FLOW-3D v10.1
- Parallelization based on the Hybrid MPI-OpenMP methodology
- Automatic Decomposition Tool allows directional decomposition
- True Domain Decomposition
- Full compatibility with FLOW-3D v10.1 GUI for post-processing results
Performance Improvements & Benchmark Data
FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 offers users substantial performance improvements with possible scaling up to 128 cores and beyond, over FLOW-3D v10.1. Go to the FLOW-3D/MP benchmarks page for a performance analysis of FLOW-3D/MP up to 128 cores for 5 typical applications namely; hydraulics, casting, thermal stress evolution, microfluidics and aerospace.

These earrings are part of the Starfish Project which is an organization rescuing exploited women in Asia. The money raised from the sales of these earrings goes to a good cause. The earrings themselves are absolutely stunning and delicate. They are beautiful and a great bargain.
When I needed some silver earrings to wear everyday, I was thrilled to find these! I was a little unsure if they would be too big or too small, since there wasn't anything to show their size. They are approximately an inch long--perfect for dressing up or down. Will get lots of wear out of these!
I wear a lot of silver jewelery and was very excited with the opportunity to wear a filigree item. However, upon receiving the package I was surprised by the poor quality of the ear-rings. Having worn silver all my life and being an Indian, I know my silver. This wasn't one and I am surprised that a cheap metal (that feels like Tin) is being marketed by Overstock as silver. I will think twice before picking a cheap Chinese silver product next time since Overstock's description does not match the actual product quality. I will never recommend this to a friend. This is the second productive that has come off defective from my Thanksgiving/ Cyber Monday purchase on Overstock and I am disappointed to learn that you all will be charging me over $7 when you should be taking it back for free. My only advice to other buyers, please be careful before you buy silver products from this website.
These earring are wonderful. Perfect size. I did replace the back with the clamp style and that was easy to do. there was nothing wrong with the hooks, I just prefer the other style. You can't go wrong with these they ar very lovely and go with everything.
The "silver" earrings turned out to be "silver" plated and it was obvious after the first few wearings. I was very disappointed that you do not make it clear that they are not solid silver.
I purchased these earrings for my sister for her birthday & she absolutely loved them. We also loved that they were made by a young lady in China that is trying to better her life. The earrings come with a sweet story. The earrings are delicate & very dainty. Shiny & very nice. Excellent quality for the price.
Earings arrived in perfect condition and beautiful. My favorite pair now.
The earrings are cute! However, they are not heavy/durable silver and I wish they were. Knowing what I know know,I would not purchase another pair online.
design is very intricate they are light but sturdy and look lovely on my ears I got loads of compliments already on them. so beautiful the craftsmanship
The description calls these SILVER earrings, but they are only silver-finish or silver colored. They are cheap Chinese junk jewelry. They are not sterling silver. If you are sensitive to cheap metals, do not buy these.

LANCASHIRE BOWLER Jimmy Anderson believes he is at the top of his game after helping England to a momentous series victory in India.
The Burnley-born seamer was named man of the match in England's Test victory against India on Monday – a win that ensured a remarkable series win for the first time in 28 years on Indian soil.
It was expected that Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar would be the primary wicket takers on pitches that are traditionally responsive to spin, but it was Anderson, whose reverse swing did the bulk of the damage as India lost a Test series at home for the first time in eight years.
He ended the series with 12 wickets which included four victims in the final test and is now heading home after being rested for the ODI series.
He said: "When we come over here, people think that spinners are going to get all the wickets but we knew that the seamers had a job to do.
"I've bowled better than I have in India before. Reverse swing has been a key part of us doing well.
"We have really practiced it in the nets and in the warm-up games before the start of the series. And we executed our plans really well.
"We were only bowling short spells of three or four overs, and that really helps because I have been able to give it my all in each spell and then with both spinners bowling we have been getting long rests.
"It has been an amazing tour.
Anderson's performance in India means his has taken 528 wickets for his country in all forms of the game – a tally that puts him equal with Sir Ian Botham at the summit of the all-time leading wicket-taking list.
Jimmy will be leading the attack when England defend the Ashes next summer. Why not watch Jimmy on his home ground as England host Australia in what will be a thrilling contest (August 1 to 5). Tickets are selling fast and we expect to announce a sell-out later this week. For more information, click here

By profession a librarian, Friend has long been an energetic and committed advocate for Open Access. He is also one of the small group of people who attended the 2001 meeting that led to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). It was at that meeting that the term Open Access was coined, and a definition of OA agreed.
Friend has also worked for the UK organisation JISC, and has recently undertaken consultancy work for the European Commission and for Knowledge Exchange.
Earlier contributors to this series include palaeontologist Mike Taylor and cognitive scientist Stevan Harnad. The latest Q&A, with SPARC's Heather Joseph, can be read here.
|Fred Friend
Q: What have been the main disappointments?
Q: There has always been a great deal of discussion (and disagreement) about Green and Gold OA. In light of recent developments (e.g. the OSTP Memorandum, the RCUK OA Policy, and the European Research Council Guidelines on OA) what would you say are the respective roles that Green and Gold OA should be playing today?
Q: What about Hybrid OA?
Q: How would you characterise the current state of OA, both in the UK and internationally?
Q: What still needs to be done, and by whom?
Q: What in your view is the single most important task that the OA movement should focus on today?
Q: What does OA have to offer the developing world?
Q: What are your expectations for OA in 2013?
Q: Will OA in your view be any less expensive than subscription publishing? If so, why/how? Does cost matter anyway?

SNA has released an updated version of the Meal Pattern Companion Guide as of October 2012. This guide has more menus to serve as examples from Manatee County Florida. This revised version is now available at www.schoolnutrition.org/mealpattern, along with other tools and resources to aid in your understanding of the meal pattern. This guide aims to assist in the challenges of implementing the new meal pattern requirements going into effect this fall. It provides you with sample menus, resources and other valuable tools needed to interpret and implement the new meal pattern regulations. This guide was pulled together by an SNA Ad Hoc Meal Pattern Working Group, which consists of school nutrition operators, state agency officials, industry and USDA representatives. The first version was unveiled in July 2012 at ANC Denver.
USDA has released a number of resources to assist school districts in addressing calorie limits in school meals as well as athletic students in need of after school snacks.
On October 2, 2012, USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon sent a letter to Regional Directors to explain and address concerns about the calorie limits with the new meal standards. You can read the full letter here. In addition, USDA's initiative, the School Day Just Got Healthier has released 2 fact sheets. One fact sheet addresses the calorie maximums in school meals and provides tips to encourage student acceptance and anotherfact sheet addresses athletic programs in schools and afterschool meal service options available. These resources and many other tools to support implementation of the nutrition standards are available at www.schoolnutrition.org/mealpattern. In addition, SNA has PR resources, including tips for working with the media available at www.schoolnutrition.org/pr.
SNA has developed new resources to respond to negative news stories featuring student complaints about school meals and new calorie/portion limits. SNA continues to promote positive stories to national media outlets, but to respond to specific inquiries and complaints in your communities, members are invited to use the talking points and customizable letter to the editor found at this link: Defending Schools Meals. Members are also encouraged to share SNA's new 30 second Public Service Announcement, featuring school foodservice professionals and the delicious, nutritious food they serve. To download the video, visit http://www.schoolnutrition.org/Content.aspx?id=17914. These resources and other PR tools, including tips for dealing with the media, can all be found at www.schoolnutrition.org/pr.
