- As Colorado wildfires continue to worsen, only moderate laws proposed
The Democratic governor spoke briefly about the discussions during a news conference where he urged Colorado residents to be aware of the fire danger this Fourth of July holiday, and advised homeowners living in high-risk areas to work on mitigation around their properties.
"I want to encourage everybody to create defensible space if you're living in the wildlands," he said. "Make sure you don't have mulch around your house, clear the brush back away from your house, make sure you don't have trees right up against your house."
Hickenlooper said Tuesday that residents should check with their local governments to know what burning restrictions are in place, and follow any fire bans posted at campgrounds. Currently, there's no statewide ban in place.
Hickenlooper emphasized that the idea of a regional aerial fleet is preliminary. It came up during the Western Governors' Association meeting last week in Utah. Colorado lawmakers this year passed a bill for a state firefighting fleet but didn't budget funds for it.
The governor said a standing fleet would be shared by Western states during the summer where they're needed most.
"We can do this more cheaply by working with other states," he said of having a state fleet separate from the federal resources.
Last month, Colorado was one of the most active states for wildfires in the country but the fire danger has eased a bit thanks to some rainfall, increased humidity and cloud cover. As a result, all four of the military air tankers mobilized to fight fires in the state, including the Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs and the West Fork fire complex, are being moved to Arizona to fight wildfires. All four C-130s will be based at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport starting Wednesday to fight fires in Arizona, the National Interagency Fire Center announced Tuesday.
The move leaves Colorado without any large air tankers to fight blazes but fire managers are hoping to get one soon that can be stationed in western Colorado, where the fire danger is higher.
There are still seven smaller air tankers stationed in Colorado, including two state-contracted planes in Canon City and Fort Collins, along with around 40 helicopters, according to the Rocky Mountain Coordination Center, which manages firefighting assets for Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska. Some counties have also hired their own helicopters.

Because, you know, he was the best player in the NL this season. And if you're the best player, and have the best season, you provide the most value to your team. You know there's a serious disconnect and major issues with who gets to vote when most of the voters begin their explanation with "Matt Kemp was the best player, but....". There is no but; the award is for the best - and hence the most valuable - player. Simple. This is quickly heading off into the realm of ridiculous Bill Plaschke logic (and even The Argyled One picked Kemp, though he used traditional statistics in the process of coming to the correct conclusion). Ryan Braun had a great, great season. Matt Kemp had a phenomenal season.
I did a wee bit of analysis a while back showing why Kemp was the proper choice, but I'm not really all that surprised by the voting. Apparently, who your teammates are is an appropriate and major factor in winning the award. Could have fooled me....it's an individual award based on individual performance. At least, that's what intelligent voters understand. Hell, even the BBWAA guidelines stipulate a team's performance does not matter.
Anyways, congrats to Ryan Braun, who at least is a more than worthy candidate and was second in the real world where you don't get penalized for having terrible teammates. The biggest travesty though is that Ryan Howard got a fourth place vote and three fifth place votes en route to finishing in the top ten. Talk about crazy. Oh, and that beautiful Kemp at the top was an eBay score, for less than the price of a blaster. Picked it up many moons ago. A great addition to my Kemp PC, and easily one of my favorite cards - Kemp or otherwise - in my collection. It's my seventh Kemp autograph, and second of the on-card variety.

Kemp was the best player this season. I wonder him not getting the award has anything to do with Kershaw getting the CY. Wonder if they felt weird about giving a non playoff team both awards. Great season by both players though.

Spiegel- Indeed. Objective analysis shows it's Kemp.
Rhubarb- haha ;)
Cam- I would hope voters didn't think that way, but I wouldn't be shocked.

news flash: the award is for the "most valuable player" and not "guy with the best stats" award.
ps: braun had TWICE as many first place votes as kemp.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- As you enter Martin Esterman's seventh grade math classes at Marietta Middle School, it's likely you'll see students playing video games on their phones, tablets or computers for the first five minutes.
They're all playing the same game.
"This is my game, AdditionBlocks," Esterman said.
He created the game to help teach math.
"There's a lot of great educational games out there, but there shooting things, but where the math involved? With this one, the game is math," Esterman said.
Nearly two years ago, Esterman wrote the game as a competition and entered. He had to not only provide a prototype of the game, but a research paper on the educational value, viability, production and development.
"AdditionBlocks won the $10,000 Grand Prize for the educator entry for PBS Kids level (1st & 2nd grade). With the prize money, I have been able to purchase the necessary software and equipment to create the game for iOS devices, Android devices, Windows OS, Mac OS, and HTML (Web version)," Esterman said.
The object of the game is to connect adjacent blocks to come up with the sum that is flashed on the screen.
The game is not designed to teach addition, but to increase speed and accuracy when adding.
"Speed and accuracy in addition is going to lead to speed and accuracy in multiplication (and in other aspect of math)," Esterman said.
"It also helps you with your math fluency because I'm not going to lie, I use my fingers a lot when I'm adding and stuff," said Jalani Hayward, a seventh grader.
"I think if they see little glimpses that math can be fun. I think it will be easier for them to not be scared of it," Esterman said.
"I play it on the bus coming home from school," said Story Mason, a seventh grader whose family nominated Esterman for 11Alive's Class Act Award. "It's actually fun because it's fast trying to get to the bonus level."
"I think it's because he has the patience to work with us," said Austin Cryer, a seventh grade student.

The ES International Fair is coming soon, on June 8th, to the Green Field.
The Parent's Committee is organizing this event, and are including the song 'We Are The World' by Michael Jackson in their program. This is a sing-a-long for everyone; students, parents and faculty to share, in celebration of our community and our place in the world. We are making these videos and the lyrics available so that we'll all be ready to join in with full voices and high spirits. Enjoy!
We are the World
(Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie)
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus: x2]

- Title
- Maximising student exposure to Unix networking using FreeBSD virtual hosts
- Author(s)
- Armitage, Grenville J.
- Abstract
- A Remote Unix Lab Environment (RULE) is being developed at Swinburne University of Technology, allowing students access to networked unix hosts for their coursework and research projects. This paper describes our first generation solution using FreeBSD's 'jail' functionality to emulate many FreeBSD hosts on a small handful of physical machines in a rack. Our primary constraint is to minimise the incremental infrastructure cost. The student front-end to the unix hosts will leverage pre-existing Windows-based PC labs scattered around campus and inter-connected by a 100Mbit/sec IP network. The FreeBSD hosts themselves are mini-ITX motherboards on a rack in a small room or closet, minimising their impact on scarce University lab space. This paper will describe our requirements, trade-offs, available tools, and how specific FreeBSD features are being utilized to create multiple virtual hosts on each physical machine. Our current implementation is based on FreeBSD 4.7.

Jacob Montgomery, a member of the Illinois National Guard, was separated from the dog, Dexter, when the Nov. 17 tornado destroyed his third-floor apartment in Washington. Montgomery combed through the wreckage multiple times but turned up no sign of Dexter.
Nine days after the storm, a neighbor who was looking for his cat, also missing, with the help of a group called Rescuing Animals in Need sent Montgomery a Facebook message to tell him Dexter had been found partially buried in debris where the apartment building used to stand.
"He said, 'I've got your dog right here,'" Montgomery recalled in a statement released by the Illinois National Guard. "As soon as Dexter saw me, his tail started going."
The pooch was in relatively good shape.
"The vet said he has no real injuries—just a few scrapes and cuts," said Montgomery, who got Dexter as a puppy to keep him company when he moved from Champaign. "He was malnourished, but he's going to be fine."
The Washington tornado was part of a band of heavy storms that brought rain, high winds and a rash of twisters to Illinois, and left seven people dead in its wake.
Montgomery has been a military police officer with the Illinois Army National Guard for more than five years and is trained to respond to emergencies.
"All I had in my apartment is gone, but my dog was all I really had to worry about," he said.
Montgomery is staying with a friend in nearby Peoria until he can find a new home.

— Junior Megan Waytashek (Lino Lakes, Minn.) led four Jackrabbits in scoring as the South Dakota State women's basketball team (9-4) defeated Northern Illinois (4-4) 67-50 Tuesday in front of 1,511 fans at Frost Arena.
The win was SDSU's 200th Division I win while extending the Jackrabbits' home winning streak to 10 games and an overall win streak to five games.
Waytashek had game highs of 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists while shooting 5 of 9 from the field and 7 for 7 from the free-throw line. Also in double figures were junior Megan Stuart (Roseville, Minn.) with 14 points off the bench and senior Hannah Strop (New Prague, Minn.) and freshman Kerri Young (Mitchell) with 10 points each.
Amanda Corral's 14 points and six rebounds led Northern Illinois.
Leading by six points, 51-45 with 7:26 left in the second half, South Dakota State took control of a tight game when it went on a 16-3 run for the win. The Jackrabbits went 6 of 9 from the charity stripe with Stuart scoring six points during the run.
The Jackrabbits lead almost the entire game except when Corral sank a three-pointer and had back-to-back layups over a 2:14 span in the first half to give Northern Illinois a 23-22 lead at 4:28. The Jacks regained the lead, 29-23, with a 7-0 run fueled by three-pointers from Strop and sophomore Chloe Cornemann (Yankton).
SDSU's bench scored 32 of the Jacks' 67 points. The Jackrabbits sank 21 of 29 free throws and added eight three-pointers.
South Dakota State begins a three-game road trip when it travels to Middle Tennessee Saturday for a 1 p.m. game.

Department of Biology and Chemistry
103 Lappin HallMorehead, KY 40351Phone: 606-783-2945Fax: firstname.lastname@example.com
Graduate students pursuing the Master of Science in Biology may elect to follow a thesis or a courses only, non-thesis route. For the thesis student, an advisory committee of at least three faculty members, versed in the student's specific area of interest, guides the student's graduate career. With the approval of the student's advisory committee and/or the graduate coordinator, up to nine semester hours of graduate work in biology or closely related fields may be transferred as part of the student's program. Transfer credits may include up to nine hours of graduate credit from the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, with which the University is affiliated.
Graduate Course LoadFull-time graduate students must enroll in at least nine, but no more than fifteen, semester hours of 600-level courses. GA's must enroll in nine to twelve hours of graduate-level courses. Part-time students may enroll for any number of hours up to nine.
Graduate Student CommitteeDuring the first semester after admission into the BES graduate program, the thesis student must initiate the formation of his/her graduate committee. This committee will consist of a minimum of three BES faculty members, at least one of whom must be familiar with the student's research interest and who will direct the graduate student's research problem. This faculty member will be designated as the student's committee chair and major professor. It should be emphasized that the committee members must agree to serve and their participation should be solicited by the graduate student, after consultation with the major professor.
Program Competencies1. All students are expected to demonstrate: a. The mastery of course work considered fundamental to the training of a biologist. Required competencies may include the accumulation of knowledge in molecular biology, botany, zoology, microbiology, physiology, ecology and evolution. A thesis-track student may elect to specialize in one of the above areas. b. The mastery of supplementary courses selected to enhance the training of a biologist. Supplemental course work, generally, includes statistics and/or computer skills. c. The use of equipment and instruments required for biological research. d. The ability to think analytically, and have a thorough understanding of the scientific method. Students are expected to evaluate published research with respect to experimental design, strengths and weaknesses of data, and validity of research conclusions.2. Thesis students are also expected to demonstrate: a. The ability to write a formal proposal of their intended research projects. The proposal will consist of a literature survey, research objectives, materials and methods, significance, bibliography, and an itemized budget for the research. b. The ability to design original experiments, collect and analyze data, and report the findings through oral and written presentations.
3. Students preparing for post-master's degree professions must develop those competencies required for admission to professional schools or Ph.D.-level graduate programs.Assessment of Competencies1. All students must pass a written exit examination prepared by the BES departmental committee. Additionally, thesis students must pass an oral examination given by the student's graduate committee. It is expected that students attain an 80 percent performance level on the written exit examination, and unanimous approval by the student's graduate committee concerning performance on the final oral examination and research component. Students failing to reach the 80 percent performance level on the written exam may retake the exam one time after a seven-day period.2. Successful data collection using instruments in the student's research meets this goal.3. In-class evaluation of journal research occurs in all graduate courses, and interpretation of scientific articles associated with the student's thesis is evaluated.4. The thesis student's major professor and the graduate program coordinator evaluate all research proposals.5. Thesis students are expected to perform original research and present the data in a formal seminar (BIOL 671) setting to the faculty and students of the BES department. This oral seminar is graded by the faculty in attendance and the averaged score must be 80 percent or above. Students failing to reach the 80 percent performance level must give the seminar to their committees after a seven-day period.
Morehead State University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are available on a competitive basis to all unconditionally accepted graduate students. Applications should be filed by April 15 of each year to receive priority consideration; forms are available from the BES graduate coordinator, from the Office of Graduate Programs. You can also apply online. Graduate assistants (GA's) are appointed for a total of up to two academic years. At present the GA award includes a $10,000 per academic year stipend, and an out-of-state tuition waiver (i.e., out of state students pay in-state rates). GA's must maintain a G.P.A. of 3.0 and exhibit satisfactory progress towards the M.S. degree. GA's are assigned academic-related work assignments totaling 20 hours per week. Ordinarily, assignments are made in their area of interest and include such duties as assisting in and preparing labs, tutoring students, participating in research projects, and other work-related experience which will further his/her academic preparation. Experienced GA's, having completed 18 hours of graduate course work, may be assigned a three hour workload within the Department of Biology and Chemistry in order to teach freshman labs.A GA is considered as an academic training position and professionalism must be maintained in the everyday duties. Awardees are provided with specific keys to Biology labs, an office space, and the right to buy a faculty/staff parking sticker.In addition to the GA application, three letters of reference and acceptable G.R.E. scores must be completed before any assistantship may be awarded
Endowment for Science FellowshipThe Endowment for Science Fellowship is a graduate assistantship available to qualified African-American students. The award includes a $9,500 per year stipend, an out-of state tuition waiver, and free dormitory residence. The application process, qualifications and conditions are the same as those for the graduate assistantships described above.

John Reynolds and the other four members on a fishing boat off the Texas Gulf Coast couldn't make it back to shore after coming upon some thunderstorms.
So, they tied the vessel, called the Nite Owl, to an oil rig and turned in for the night, not worried because they'd been through worse weather.
But early Friday morning, Reynolds says a "freak wave" hit the side of the boat, sending their captain overboard and sinking the vessel within two minutes.
One crew member tried to reach the captain while Reynolds and the two others saw a life raft. Reynolds was the only one who reached it.
He was later rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. The search for the four other fishermen continued Sunday.

SEVILLE --Twenty-four horses, two mini ponies and two donkeyswere surrendered in Medina County on Thursday afternoon.
The Medina County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took custody of the animals, from seven acres of pasture at a home on Blake Road.
The organization received an anonymous tip about the conditions.
SPCA Executive Director Stephanie Moore says they tried to work with the owner for some time, but decided this week to remove the animals from the property.
"They're not horribly emaciated, but they are thin. Their feet are in bad shape. Some of the babies and mothers have what appears to be malnourishment," Moore said.
Moore says, over the last month, the Medina SPCA has had three cases of horses that have died because of malnourishment.
The horses taken from Blake Road on Thursday will be individually examined by a vet, and placed in the care of the SPCA.
"You educate and educate and advocate, and continue to do that sort of thing over and over. Then there just comes a time when you realize it's not working. You need to take some action for the wellbeing of the horses," said Moore.
The owner of the horses told WKYCshe tried to care for the animals, but said she simply had too many.
"They have never, never not had hay. They've always had grain. Grain and special minerals. I've paid hundreds of dollars for special minerals. They were never, never malnourished. If they were malnourished, it is because there were several bales of hay that weren't in as good of condition as I'd like," said Tori Wilfred.
The price of hay has skyrocketed in the last year. Wilfred says, she's also faced a personal challenge at home, of caring for her ailing grandmother.
Wilfred says she was planning to put some of her horses up for sale this spring.
"The bad thing is, people are going to watch this and say I'm a horrible person, and you let those horses be malnourished. But it was never that situation," Wilfred said.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, April 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta commissioners will hear from both sides on the Clean Augusta Downtown initiative, known as CADI, Tuesday night.
More than half of the downtown business owners have signed petitions to bring the program back.
"I've heard it's make or break time. I hope they get rid of it," said downtown business owner Mike Walraven.
Walraven has been fighting against CADI from the beginning, and Tuesday night will be no different.
"We still don't need this. We need security or extra law enforcement in downtown and that's what we need," Walraven said.
CADI board members will tell commissioners about changes to the program and how every business will pay the same rate for the service.
Board members say time is running out to bring the cleanup crew back.
"We'd like to be in a position that when we move to a lockdown of the digest, that all these matters are finalized," said Richmond County Tax Assessor Alveno Ross.
Ross needs the final word from commissioners on CADI so his office can prepare the tax bills.
"That affects the tax bill, depending on which tax district you are coded in," Ross said.
"The city is doing a good job cleaning. The CADI program was supposed to be supplemental to the city. I don't see a need for $400,000," Walraven said.
Now, it's all up to commissioners.

The network started sometime in 1492, and was aimed at showing nothing but cartoons nonstop, until your eyes burst. Most shows that appear on this network have been sent by the Comedy Gods to eventually be canceled after 2-3 seasons. Cartoon Network better known as Cartoon Nothing.

Famous Long Ago Archive
Famous Long Ago Collection, ca.1960-2005.
Ray Mungo's Famous Long Ago (1970) and Steve Diamond's What the Trees Said (1971) are classic visions of late 1960s counterculture and of life in New England communes. The communes on which Mungo and Diamond settled, Packer Corner and the Montague Farm, became the center of what might be considered a single extended community, embracing the Wendell Farm and Johnson Pasture and Tree Frog Farm in Vermont. The Farmers themselves were, and remain, a diverse group, including photographers, novelists, and poets, artists, actors, and activists.
An umbrella collection, the Famous Long Ago Archive contains a growing number of collections relating to the communes at Montague Farm, Packer Corners, Johnson Pasture, Wendell Farm, and Tree Frog Farm. These range from the papers of Steve Diamond, Raymond Mungo, and Jonathan Maslow to Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner (the latter of whom lived at Montague Farm), the records of the Liberation News Service, the Alternative Energy Coalition, and Musicians United for Safe Energy, to the photographic collections of Roy Finestone and Stephen Josephs.

Antinuclear Activism
Part of: Famous Long Ago Archive
Antinuclear Activism Collection, ca.1977-1990.
Call no.: MS 547
In the mid-1970s, Western Massachusetts was a hotbed of antinuclear activism, sparked both by the proposal to build a nuclear power plant in Montague, Mass., and by the construction and operation of plants nearby in Rowe, Mass., and Seabrook, N.H. A group of activists associated with the Liberation News Service and Montague Farm commune, including Anna Gyorgy, Sam Lovejoy, Harvey Wasserman, Steven Diamond, Chuck Light, and Dan Keller, were instrumental in organizing popular opposition to nuclear power and they helped establish several antinuclear organizations, ranging from the Alternative Energy Coalition to the Renewable Energy Media Service, Clamshell Alliance, and Musicians United for Safe Energy.
The Antinuclear Activism Collection contains the results of the grassroots opposition to nuclear power in Western Massachusetts. The bulk of the collections consists of a variety of publications produced by or collected by a group of antinuclear activists in Franklin County, Mass. In addition to a large number newspapers (e.g. Clamshell Alliance News) and pamphlets, the collection includes t-shirts and bumper stickers, ephemeral publications, notes, sporadic correspondence, and other information collected both for research purposes and to aid in their public campaigns. Of particular interest are a set of early minutes of the Clamshell Alliance Coordinating committee (1977-1978), and information on protests at the Seabrook and Rowe nuclear facilities and the proposed facility at Montague. The collection is part of the Famous Long Ago Archive.

Susan Dalsimer Papers, 1969-1970.
Call no.: MS 578
Famous Long Ago launched the literary career of Raymond Mungo with a splash, but even before the book had reached the shelves, he turned to his next project. In October 1969, Mungo began planning for a memoir of his life at the Packer Corners commune. Soon entitled Total Loss Farm, the book would become a classic in the literature of the 1960s counterculture. Signing a contract in November with E.P. Dutton, he worked with a young and sympathetic editor, Susan Stern (later Susan Dalsimer).
This small, but rich collection consists of a series of letters between Raymond Mungo and his editor at E.P. Dutton, Susan Stern, regarding his ideas on writing and life. Beginning in October 1969 with editorial commentary on Famous Long Ago and Mungo's additions, the Dalsimer Papers offer insight into the development of Total Loss Farm from concept to printed page.

Roy Finestone Photograph Collection, 1969-1990.
Call no.: PH 005
A wave of experimentation in communal living in New England reached a peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with dozens of communities spread across the landscape of western Massachusetts and Vermont. Nina Finestone joined the Johnson Pastures in Guilford , Vermont, in 1969, however after the main house there went up in flames on April 16, 1970, killing four people, she joined a number of its residents who moved to the nearby Montague Farm in Montague, Massachusetts. Nina married a fellow Montague farmer, Daniel Keller, and the couple moved to Wendell in 1980.
Providing exceptional visual documentation of life at Johnson Pasture, the Montague Farm, and Wendell Farm between 1969 and 1990, the Finestone collection is centered on the lives and family of Daniel and Nina Keller. All images were taken by Roy Finestone, Nina's father, with a medium format camera using color transparency film.

Liberation News Service
Part of: Famous Long Ago Archive
Liberation News Service Records, 1967-1974.
Call no.: MS 546
In 1967, Marshall Bloom and Raymond Mungo, former editors of the student newspapers of Amherst College and Boston University, were fired from the United States Student Press Association for their radical views. In response they collaborated with colleagues and friends to found the Liberation News Service, an alternative news agency aimed at providing inexpensive images and text reflecting a countercultural outlook. From its office in Washington, D.C., LNS issued twice-weekly packets containing news articles, opinion pieces, and photographs reflecting a radical perspective on the war in Vietnam, national liberation struggles abroad, American politics, and the cultural revolution. At its height, the Service had hundreds of subscribers, spanning the gamut of college newspapers and the underground and alternative press. Its readership was estimated to be in the millions.
Two months after moving to New York City in June 1968, the LNS split into two factions. The more traditional Marxist activists remained in New York, while Bloom and Mungo, espousing a broader cultural view, settled on farms in western Massachusetts and southern Vermont. The story of LNS, as well as of the split, is told in Mungo's 1970 classic book Famous Long Ago. By 1969 Bloom's LNS farm, though still holding the organization's original press, had begun its long life as a farm commune in Montague, Mass. Montague (whose own story is told in Steve Diamond's What the Trees Said) survived in its original form under a number of resident groups until its recent sale to another non-profit organization. Mungo's Packer Corners Farm, near Brattleboro, the model for his well-known book, Total Loss Farm, survives today under the guidance of some of its own original founders.
The LNS Records include a relatively complete run of LNS packets 1-120 (1967-1968), along with business records, miscellaneous correspondence, some artwork, and printing artifacts, including the LNS addressograph.

Raymond Mungo Papers, 1966-2008.
Call no.: MS 659
Born in a "howling blizzard" in February 1946, Raymond Mungo became one of the most evocative writers of the 1960s counterculture. Through more than fifteen books and hundreds of articles, Mungo has brought a wry sense of humor and radical sensibility to explorations of the minds and experiences of the generation that came of age against a backdrop of the struggles for civil rights and economic justice, of student revolts, Black Power, resistance to war, and experimentation in communal living.
Consisting of the original typescripts and manuscripts of ten of Raymond Mungo's books, along with corrected and uncorrected galleys and a small number of letters from publishers. Among the other materials in the collection are thirteen photographs of Mungo taken by Clif Garboden and Peter Simon during and immediately after his undergraduate years at Boston University; a DVD containing motion pictures of life at Packer Corners in 1969 and 1977; and an irate letter from a writer regarding the status of poems he had submitted to Liberation News Service.

The MUSE Foundation was established with the proceeds of the concerts and for several years provided small grants to support antinuclear and environmental work.
The bulk of the MUSE collection consists of applications from grass-roots, progressive organizations in the United States relating to their work. As such, the collection presents a wonderful snapshot of early 1980s activisim. The collection is part of the Famous Long Ago Archive.

Stephen L. Saltonstall Collection, 1962.
Call no.: PH 014
In the summer 1962, future Harvard student Steve Saltonstall became one of the early wave of white northerners who went into the Jim Crow south to work for civil rights. During that summer, he worked with SNCC to organize public accommodations in Cairo, Ill., and with an AFSC crew to help clear brush from a drainage ditch near Circle City, Missouri, encountering local resistance in both places. Saltonstall later became an attorney and currently practices in Vermont.
The Saltonstall collection consists of approximately sixty photographs taken by John Engel during his tour with an AFSC crew during the summer of 1962. While most of the images depict the crew's work near Circle City, Missouri, six photos document a civil rights rally in Cairo, Ill. The images are available in digital form only.

Alternative Energy Coalition
Part of: Famous Long Ago Collection
Alternative Energy Coalition, ca.1975-1985.
Call no.: MS 586
A product of the vibrant and progressive political culture of western Massachusetts during the early 1970s, the Alternative Energy Coalition played a key role in the growth of antinuclear activism. In 1974, the AEC helped mobilize support for Sam Lovejoy after he sabotaged a weather tower erected by Northeast Utilities in Montague, Mass., in preparation for a proposed nuclear power plant, and they helped organize the drive for a referendum opposing not only the proposed plant in Montague, but existing plants in Rowe, Mass., and Vernon, Vt. Forming extensive connections with other antinuclear organizations, the AEC also became one of the organizations that united in 1976 to form the Clamshell Alliance, which made an art of mass civil disobedience.
The AEC Records provide insight into grassroots activism of the 1970s and 1980s, galvanized by the seemingly unrestrained growth of the nuclear power industry. The records, emanating from the Hampshire County branch, contain both research materials used by the AEC and organizational and promotional materials produced by them, including publications, minutes of meetings, correspondence, and materials used during protests. Of particular interest are a thick suite of organizational and other information pertaining to the occupation of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant in 1979 and minutes, notes, and other materials relating to the founding and early days of the Clamshell Alliance. The collection is closely related to the Antinuclear Collection (MS 547).

Randy Kehler Papers, 1978-1997.
Call no.: MS 396
A veteran of the peace movement and founder of the Traprock Peace Center (1979), Randy Kehler was active in the National Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign, the Peace Development Fund, and the Working Group on Electoral Democracy. Beginning in 1977, he and his wife became war tax resisters, withholding federal income tax to protest U.S. military expenditures, donating it instead to charity. As a consequence, their home was seized by the IRS in 1989, setting up a protracted legal struggle that resulted in Kehler's arrest and imprisonment and the sale of the house. They remain tax resisters.
The Kehler Papers document the five year struggle (1989-1994) against the seizure and sale of the Kehlers' home by the IRS. The collection includes meeting minutes, notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings; letters to the editor, essays, articles, plans and strategy documents for the vigil set outside the Kehler home; support committee information and actions; correspondence with government officials, the IRS, and the Justice Department; letters of support; documents from the legal proceedings; and political literature addressing the Kehlers' situation.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Don't let the bed bugs bite. It may be a popular saying, but for many in the Midlands its something they deal with every night.
For new homeowners Justin Steadman and Fillisa Connely, they know just how difficult it can be to get rid of the bed bug blues.
"At first we thought it might be flea's. Like the dog brought fleas in. But we never had that problem before," said Fillisa.
The couple hired Cayce Exterminating to put an end to the infestation. For fifteen years, exterminator Rick Williams has seen the worst in homes.
"When the customer is asleep, in a deep REM sleep, deep breath, they follow your breath in. So they're gonna be close, said Williams. "They probably get behind the popcorn there in the ceiling. So whoever sleeps in here, they can come down then come back up."
The Steadman's spent twelve hundred fixing their bed bug problem. But News19 wanted to know what rights do you have as a renter? According to some, not many.
"In any type of situation where there is a lease agreement between a tenant and a land lord there are obligations on both sides."
Charles Appleby, a contract attorney with Collins and Lacy says a tenant must first notify a landlord in writing about any bed bug issues.
"That ensures that the landlord knows about the situation and can then start taking the next steps."
But that doesn't always mean your problem ends there.
"They're pretty much everywhere in the house," Tonya Williams rents at a Midlands apartment complex. We won't share where she lives, but Williams showed us that her apartment, and her neighbors, are infested with bed bugs.
"They sprayed and bombed that apartment while it was empty, and they came down here like a rush."
Williams says she's thrown out beds, sheets, dressers, and even cribs, claiming her apartment complex rarely responds to her complaints.
"I want to be moved out of this apartment or at least be put up somewhere and get the apartment done the right way."
Her complex didn't respond to any of our requests to talk about her bed bug problems.
According to the South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act A landlord shall: "(1) comply with the requirements of applicable building and housing codes materially affecting health and safety."
That law doesn't specifically address anything about bed bugs.
"Right now we are doing a crack and crevice inspection around the bed," said Williams.
The Steadman's removal took nearly twelve hours. A process that includes bagging all clothes, throwing out badly infected furniture and toys, and professional exterminating chemicals.
"It don't matter how much money you make. What you do for a living. Ethnicity. Your background. It don't matter, they're here to feed," said Williams.
For Tonya Williams, she continues to fight with the bugs and landlord. A bed bug battle that Appleby says may go from the bedroom, to the courtroom.
"They have the option to bring a lawsuit and seek damages including the cost of having to get rid of those against the landlord."
Lawmakers have now gotten into the bed bug business.
Representative Wendell Gilliard (D-Charleston) has introduced a new bill in the state house that would require all hotels, lodging, and homeless shelters to have routine bed bug inspection. It would also require the tenant to notify and future residents of a previous infestation.
But what can you do if where you rent is infected? Experts say the first step is writing your landlord requesting removal. A written request is required. Be Sure to Check the Lease. Find out if there is any specific bed bug language. If your landlord refuses to exterminate, you can always seek legal action or try to get out of your lease.
According to the centers for disease control "bed bugs are not known to spread disease. Bed bugs can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep."

- Title
- Domesticating data: functional simplicity in data presentations
- Author(s)
- Mollerup, Per
- Abstract
- In a world progressively suffering from information overload, simplicity in information design becomes a quality of increasing relevance. Simplicity in visual data presentations creates clarity that facilitates good decision-making. In decision-making, as elsewhere, we can't make a silk purse of a sow's ear. Mediocre visual data presentations have three unwanted effects. They cause decision makers to use more time than necessary digesting the information on hand, they hinder decision makers to understand problems and evaluate possible decisions, and they inspire decision makers to neglect available information in favour of unfounded guesswork. Simplicity in information design fights all three undesired effects. The simplicity in demand is functional simplicity. Functional simplicity in information design is concerned with improving usability and utility of information and should not be confused with minimalism, which is a matter of aesthetics. Functional simplicity in information design means more understanding with less reading. That in turn leads to more effective and more efficient decision-making. Functional simplicity in information design goes beyond raw reduction of data presentations. It involves size, variation/repetition, and structure. All three dimensions of simplicity influence the amount of redundancy that creates the delicate balance between necessity and superfluity, between understanding and boredom. The measure of redundancy that is both necessary and sufficient should be determined with a view to the context and the expected culture of the intended target groups. This paper pins down the concept of functional simplicity, discusses its importance in data designed for decision, and examines the three dimensions of simplicity one by one. Finally, it looks into the need for redundancy in several types of data presentations.

ANALYZE THAT and EMPIRE
It's enough to make a grown movie-critic weep: You rave about Solaris, a science-fiction work that's psychologically rich, challenging, and incredibly unusual, and you read in the paper that the audience-tracking firm Cinemascore has ranked it the most universally loathed major release in 20 years. You check out the top-10 list from the National Board of Review, the first organization to hand out year-end kudos, and realize that only one of those 10 films has (as yet) made it to the Quad Cities, and that one only stayed for a week at Moline's Nova 6 Cinemas. And you eagerly look forward to a December weekend of new releases – surely some of those terrific-looking titles will finally appear? – and your only options are Analyze That and Empire.

How To Find The Right Punching Bag Or Speed Bag
You dont have to be a skilled martial artist to benefit from punching bag training. Speed bags and punching bags help you master your form, build strength and improve heart health.
So choose the punching bag thats right for you. Punching bags and speed bags at DICKS Sporting Goods are crafted for quality and durabilityso you can stay focused on your training. Explore the collection:
- Free-standing punching bags bags are attached to a base that is filled with water or sand. These bags are placed on the floor, making it an ideal choice for areas where a bag cannot be installed to the ceiling.
- Hanging punching bags and heavy bags are fixed to the ceiling. These punching bags do not slide or move when kicked, but are often mounted too high for a full kickboxing practice.
- Speed bags improve hand-eye and reflex coordination. These pear-shaped bags, much smaller in size than a punching bag, are hung from a solid platform.
Find your next punching bag, speed bag or boxing stand from popular brands, like Century® and Everlast®.
Expert Advice
Consider just a few of the benefits of training with a punching bag or speed bag:
Strength Training: Punching and kicking provides repetitive resistance training. Resistance is essential to building strength in the body. Tone and trim muscles in your upper and lower body by repeatedly striking your bag.
Cardio Workout: The leg and arm work involved in boxing provides a cardio-intensive workout. The intensity of your workout can veryusing a heavier bag requires you to work harder on every strike. Jab, cross, hook and undercut to ramp up your heart rate and get an aerobic workout.
Reaction Time & Balance: Find a bag routine that incorporates both arm and foot work, moving you around the bag. This type of exercise helps tone core muscles and improve hand-eye coordination. Bag that swing force you to react as you punchso you can improve your reflex time as you train.
Durability is a key factor in the construction of your new punching bag. Look for a bag with a quality vinyl or polyester shell, filled with high-density foam padding. Reinforced stitching ensures your bag can handle every punch you throw. The filling of your punching bag impacts its weight, shape and stiffness. Softer bags are better suited for beginners, while stiffer bags provide the challenge an experienced boxer needs.
If youre incorporating a speed bag into your training, keep in mind the material used in your speed bag board. Most speed bag boards are made of presswood. If youre choosing a smaller board, extra reinforcement may be required.

Bath Iron Works has lifted a 900-ton deckhouse onto the 610-foot hull of the Zumwalt, the largest destroyer to be built at the Maine shipyard.
BATH, Maine (AP) _ Officials said Thursday that it took four cranes to lift the deckhouse, the heaviest item ever lifted at the shipyard on December 13 and 14. Afterward, the entire assembly weighing 13,000 tons was moved back into position for shipbuilders to continue assembly.
The composite deckhouse was built in Gulfport, Miss., and shipped to Maine by barge.
The stealthy destroyer, the Zumwalt, features a wave-piercing hull, electric drive propulsion, and powerful guns and missiles. It'll be christened in 2013 and delivered to the Navy late in the following year.
