Ossabaw Island
History and Archaeology
No period in Ossabaw's history had a more profound impact on the island's ecosystem than the plantation era. At one time, the island was divided into four different plantations, all owned by members of the Morel family. Most of the forests on the western portion of the island are second growth from this time and some open fields remain. Remnants of this era still evident on the island include an oak alley, granite mile markers, and slave cabins. During the early 1900's, the island was used almost solely for hunting and passed through a number of owners. In 1924, Dr. Henry Norton Torrey (1880-1945) and his wife, Nell Ford Torrey, of Detroit, Michigan, purchased Ossabaw Island. After Dr. Torrey's death in 1945, his widow continued to visit the island, but only sparingly. By the 1950's their son, William Ford Torrey, had returned to live there and conduct various farming, timbering and pine tree planting operations. In 1961, Clifford and Eleanor Torrey West established The Ossabaw Foundation, a private foundation which conducted and sponsored several programs and activities on the island from the 1960's through the early 1980's. The programs and activities included the Ossabaw Island Project, Genesis Project, professional research, and public use and education.
Archaeological research on the island extends back over 100 years. As early as 1871, reports document more than 150 sites, ranging in time from 4,000 years ago to European occupation.
Ossabaw Island preserves traces of most of the people who have lived there for 4,000 years. To date, researchers on Ossabaw have recorded over 230 archaeological sites. The vast majority of known sites are prehistoric in age and marked by shell middens containing pottery chards and other cultural materials. Additionally, there are over a dozen known burial mounds on the island, that demand specific and sensitive management considerations. Most archaeological research on the island is directed at prehistoric settlement systems and subsistence patterns.
Historic Buildings
The only standing, historic structures remain at the North End and the nearby Main House complex. The North End contains the Clubhouse (c. 1876), a two-story frame house, a one-story tabby building adjacent to the clubhouse (the tabby "oyster house"), a frame barn, and three tabby slave/tenant houses with central chimneys. In a state that once had thousands of slave houses, relatively few remain today; less than two dozen are believed to be listed in the National Register at this time. Tabby is an indigenous form of concreting using shells as an aggregate. Found along the southeastern coast of the United States, it was a popular building material and technique during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Texas Rep. Charlie Gonzalez blasts Mitt Romney as immigration extremist
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It's San Antonio night at the Democratic convention.
Rep. Charlie Gonzalez – son of the legendary Henry B. Gonzalez, who served nearly four decades in the House – got an 8-minute slot a few hours ahead of Mayor Julian Castro, the party's first Hispanic keynoter.
He used it to denounce Mitt Romney as an extremist on immigration.
"He would separate families that have been here for generations," said Gonzalez, 67, who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is retiring after seven House terms.
Romney called for "self-deportation" of 11 million illegal immigrants during the GOP primaries, when he was toughening his image to woo conservatives. Hispanics viewed that as a harsh and unrealistic approach.
Gonzalez was an early Obama backer in the 2008 primaries. He's had his issues; like many Hispanics, he was openly disappointed that Obama didn't push harder to overhaul immigration law during his first two years, before Democrats lost the House. Until Obama ordered a no-deportation policy toward young illegal immigrants this summer, he also expressed impatience at the lack of progress on the DREAM Act, which would let young illegal immigrants stay and eventually become citizens.
Whatever those concerns, for Gonzalez they pale against the specter of a Romney presidency.
"When it comes to our country's immigration policies, the truth is that Mitt Romney has embraced the racial profiling policies of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe Arpaio," he said.
The reference to HB1070, which Romney at one point called a national model, and to the Maricopa County sheriff known for raids in Hispanic neighborhoods of Phoenix, drew loud boos.
Texas Democrats cheered extra loud for Gonzalez, who appeared on stage with New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez.
Gonzalez lauded Obama's work on health care and other issues and blasted Republicans for trying to stymie him on tax reform and efforts to tackle the national debt.
"Perhaps the biggest lie the Republicans have told us is that they want to work with President Obama. The truth is what they want to do is undermine the president at the cost of our American values, like justice, fairness and opportunity.

The 28-year-old actor shared a beach photo on Wednesday with his bottom half bound in sand and sculpted into a mythical fin. Possibly gal pal Britt Brousseau's doing? The actor made sure to tag Brousseau, 26, in the caption and also threw in a Little Mermaid hashtag for kicks.
"Nothing to see here. Just another merman on the beach," Eastwood wrote, looking comfy and casual with the sand-fin accessory.
Eastwood and Brousseau were first linked this past May, and – whatever their relationship status is – it looks like things are going swimmingly.
Although Eastwood joked, "#itsforarole #ipromise #characterstudy," he's actually in post-production for Fury, the anxiously awaited wartime flick costarring Shia LaBeouf and Brad Pitt.
Brousseau posted a matching shot of her own on Instagram along with the caption, "So what if I pretend I'm a mermaid every time I swim........ with my merman @scotteastwood."

Diebenkorn Catalogue Project Information
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the estate of Richard Diebenkorn are jointly sponsoring a project to create a complete catalogue of the paintings and works on paper of Richard Diebenkorn (American, 1922-1993). The catalogue is being edited by Jane Livingston, whose connection with the artist spans more than two decades, culminating curatorially with the 1997 Retrospective at the Whitney Museum. The project also benefits from the active participation of the artist's wife, Phyllis Diebenkorn. Her first-hand memory and documentation, along with that of the artist's children, Gretchen and Christopher, provide the basis for comprehensive and authoritative research. Other members of the Project Advisory Committee include John Elderfield, Ruth Fine, Steve Nash, and Gerald Nordland. Diebenkorn's long-time dealer Lawrence Rubin also serves on the committee.
The catalogue will only include unique objects, as a future project will cover multiples. It is expected that the final catalogue raisonné will include nearly 700 oil paintings and some 4,000 works on paper. Catalogue staff are conducting a search for all unique works made by the artist, including paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects, as well as correspondence, audio and video recordings, and any other documentation relevant to creating the definitive statement on Diebenkorn's oeuvre.
Rights and reproduction requests should be directed to Richard Grant. For further information on Jane Livingston and the catalogue project, please view our Colophon & Links page.

Pandemic Influenza Planning - A Guide for Individuals and Families
ETSU's Proposed Guidelines for Constructing a University/College-Wide Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan
What is the bird flu, and how does it differ from the common flu?
- Seasonal (or common) flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent this illness is by getting a flu vaccination each fall.
- Avian (or bird) flu, which is commonly referred to as Influenza A (H5N1) virus, occurs mainly in birds. And occasionally can be transmitted to humans. There is no human immunity and no vaccine is available. Aggressive efforts are underway to develop a vaccine.
- Pandemic flu is virulent human flu that causes a global outbreak, or pandemic, of serious illness. Because there is little natural immunity, the disease can spread easily from person to person. Currently, there is no pandemic flu.
How has the virus spread from birds to humans?
Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces. The primary source for human exposure has resulted from people having direct or close contact with H5N1-infected poultry or H5N1-contaminated surfaces. Infection can spread during slaughter, defeathering, butchering, or preparing poultry for cooking.
What are the symptoms of the avian flu in humans?
Symptoms are similar to the seasonal flu, which include fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches. Other more serious symptoms are eye infections, pneumonia, respiratory distress, organ failure, and other severe life-threatening complications.
Is a vaccine for avian flu currently available?
A vaccine is under development but is not ready for commercial production. The current vaccinations for the common flu do not offer protection against the H5N1 virus.
How can I reduce my risk for becoming infected?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the same suggestions for preventing colds and common viruses apply. They include:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
- If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
- Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.
- Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Do not share drinking glasses, eating utensils, water bottles, etc.
- Dispose of used tissues and other similar objects appropriately
- Getting the flu vaccine is recommended for preventing the seasonal flu, even though it doesn't provide protection against avian influenza

In her first interview since her split with Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis is asked about her longtime former partner.
The question triggers a rebuke.
"I don't want to talk about him," she tells the summer edition of French Elle while promoting her latest film, Cornouaille. "Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves? … It's my duty to promote this movie, and my albums, but can you imagine what it feels like to see people making a business out of your pain."
She adds: "What's happened to us is our concern."
But the actress/singer, 39, then opens up just enough to hint about her feelings after ending a 14-year relationship with the 49-year-old star.
"I don't have the recipe for happiness, but I think the engine is simply having the desire," she says. "It's not feeling obliged or forced or repeating yourself."
"I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say: 'You have work at being a couple,'" she continues. "No, you have to want to be there."
"And for me, I want to be right where I am right now.'"
Paradise says she'll continue to divide her time between the United States and France, and their children, Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 10, will attend school in Los Angeles.
"My children are grown now, they are more independent," she says, noting that Lily-Rose is the same age as Paradis when she broke internationally as a pop singer. "My daughter loves singing above all else. Jack, he's a guitarist."
Will they follow in their parents' footsteps?
"I can tell you that if they decide to launch themselves into this kind of career it will be a good thing for music," says, but after hesitating adds, "For my part, although I do not regret what I did, I'd prefer that my daughter takes the time to learn, and, especially, to live her childhood thoroughly."

Join Babe Laufenberg to honor Alex Betzhold, a 13-year-old who died in his sleep
It's every parent's nightmare — going to wake your beloved child and he doesn't wake up — ever. That's what happened to the parents of Alex Betzhold of Argyle on Jan. 17. The seventh grader was only 13 years old. His death was caused by concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, or an enlarged wall around his heart's left pumping chamber, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office — an undiagnosed heart condition that came as a total surprise to his family.
In honor of Alex and to establish the Alex Betzhold Memorial Scholarship Fund to provide a scholarship to a graduating Argyle senior, friends of the family are holding
a Shoot for the Stars charity event tonight at 7 in the Argyle High School gym. Participants will be asked to collectively make 13,035 free throws continuously through 6 p.m. Saturday at four basketball goals. The 13 represents Alex Betzhold's age at the time of his death; 35 signifies his basketball number; and the four goals represent the number of immediate family members he left behind.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and KTVT-TV (Channel 11) sports anchor Babe Laufenberg will host a "Beat the Babe" free throw from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and there will be live and silent auctions with sports memorabilia donated by the Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, PGA Tour golfers and former NFL players, and items autographed by John Travolta, John Grisham, Warren Buffett, Colin Powell, former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, Chuck Norris and Kirk Douglas.
Admission is $5 and includes a "Shoot for the Stars" wristband and eligibility for drawings and prizes. Call 940-464-2829, visit www.abmsf.net or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Also, in an effort to prevent other children from dying of undiagnosed heart disease, Living for Zachary, the nonprofit organization founded by Karen Schrah, the mother of Zachary Schrah, a 16-year-old who died of undiagnosed heart problems, will offer free heart screenings for ages 12-22 on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Space is limited, so make an appointment asap by calling 1-855-849-8378.
You can read more about Alex, whom friends often referred to as the "gentle giant," in the Denton Record-Chronicle here. You can read about Zachary Schrah who dreamed of being a doctor, in my story here.
PHOTOS (Top): Alex Betzhold, an honors student and trumpet player who loved playing basketball died at 13 of an undiagnosed heart condition. (Bottom): Karen Schrah by a picture dedicated to her son, Zachary, at The Heart Hospital Baylor, which offers low-cost heart screenings and free CPR training in memory of Zachary, who collapsed and later died of an undiagnosed heart condition while his mother waited in the parking lot for him to finish football practice at Plano East. Zachary loved playing football, and dreamed of becoming a doctor.

I hear ya; unfortunately the Channel 9 infrastructure requires that we encode all videos at this common bitrate (2500 kbps) to maintain consistent quality, etc. Note that you can click the "Fullscreen" button to stream a lower res version of the video but you can't save that (easily). So... good feedback, but unless the Channel 9 infrastructure changes we won't be able to give you a lower res download.

A little help goes a long way
Derrick Rollins remembers that the transition to college wasn't easy. He needed help to succeed in and out of the classroom. It's something he's been paying back ever since.
Derrick uses his own college experiences to help make first-year students studying chemical engineering feel like they belong. That's why he's a mentor and has created several organizations like the Summer Program for Enhancing Engineering Development. It's a program that works like an internship to prepare students for their freshman year.
This September Derrick was honored for helping students with a national Tau Beta Pi-McDonald Mentor Award. Marion and Capers W. McDonald and the Tau Beta Pi association established this award in 2005. It recognizes an outstanding engineering educator or professional for helping in the development of their students and colleagues.
The professors at Iowa State go out of their way to help students feel a part of the community. They believe it lets them reach their academic potential. That's why you'll see professors starting organizations, learning communities, and mentoring students in classrooms and research laboratories.
Derrick is currently working with students to make their experience unforgettable and showing them that a little help can take them a long way into their future.

on September 16, 2012 - 12:01 AM
, updated September 16, 2012 at 8:38 AM
Last week, in an interview with former News reporter Jim Heaney on his website Investigative Post, developer Rocco Termini said that his wish for downtown Buffalo was "Manhattan rents."
Termini, who accomplished his stunning restoration of the Hotel @ Lafayette with the help of historic tax credits from New York State, was hoping aloud that the burgeoning downtown economy would eventually be able to sustain places like the Lafayette and create new ones without huge public subsidies.
That is, of course, a laudable goal. But Termini's desire for the sort of rents you see in Manhattan - which have made it next to impossible for emerging artists to live and work there - raises a small red flag.
It points up the need for a cohesive plan to make sure that the cultural organizations and individual artists now driving the city's renaissance and buffering its national image will have a place in the city they are helping to reshape.
Downtown, a depressing plywood jungle only a few years ago, has already priced most artists out of the real estate market. Though there are a few bright spots, like the Western New York Book Arts Center and Main Street Studios, the idea of living and working downtown is already out of reach for most local artists.
Frits Abell, founder of the Buffalo Expat Network and the Echo Art Fair, has been banging the drum on this issue for some time. Having lived in New York City for 18 years, he has seen artists driven from neighborhoods they helped to revive, like the Lower East Side and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, into new artistic territory. Territory, as the world is becoming increasingly aware, like Buffalo.
"Not only is New York cost-prohibitive and Brooklyn cost-prohibitive, but they're also becoming culturally prohibitive for artists and young people," Abell said, referencing a recent Salon.com piece that pointed to Detroit and Buffalo as new artistic frontiers. "I've seen this dramatic change, and so I'm very sensitive to the fact that quality of life encompasses a very diverse offering, where you have [multiple] income levels, but also you create space and lock in real estate for those cultural organizations that are helping with the revival so that it's not just a phenomenon where artists come in, clean up parts of the city and then get pushed out."
Downtown, where Termini has suggested the wise idea of a sales tax-free zone to encourage retail, could benefit from a cohesive plan to make sure that the idea of "mixed-use" extends to affordable housing and space for organizations.
Earlier in the summer, Mayor Byron Brown suggested as much to me in a meeting at City Hall, pointing to the success of projects like the Artspace lofts on Main Street and wondering whether there couldn't be more such projects on the horizon. The answer? Yes, but only if City Hall and County Hall work together to make it happen.
"In a very short amount of time, we've seen property values increase, we've seen a resurgence of development in downtown," Abell said. "What a great opportunity for Buffalo to be very proactive and strategic and learn from what cities like New York, San Francisco and Paris, and [all] these cities with these great arts communities have gone through."
The secret about Buffalo is out. The artists are coming, the property values already are rising. Despite the cynical cries of those who are terminally bearish on Buffalo, this is happening. Let's make sure the revival continues with the active participation of the people responsible for launching it.

My good friend Nevin Byler, manager and cheese maker at the Middlefield Original Cheese Cooperative, called the other day. He was excited to tell me that the cheddar cheese they make had been entered in competition at the Ohio State Fair, and it had won reserve champion. That speaks well for the quality of cheese Nevin and his crew make at their cheese house on state Route 87 east of Middlefield.
The Middlefield Original Cheese Cooperative is an Amish organization, and the cheeses they make are truly Amish products. They make several different kinds of American cheeses, such as the cheddars, Colby, Monterey Jack, brick and their own Swiss, which is more difficult to make.
They also have a group of farmers that produce milk from cows that are grass-fed only, which includes pastures in the summer and hay in the winter. No grain or corn is fed. This milk is made into a specialty cheese that is in demand in some health food stores and also available at the cheese house store. Grass-fed cheese is reported to be higher in some of the beneficial fatty acids than regular cheese.
Since grass-fed cows produce less than those fed grains and corn silage, their cheese has to bring a higher price.
A few farmers who produce organic milk also ship to the co-op, and Nevin makes organic cheese that can be bought at the co-op store on Route 87. It is also sold through some health food stores.
They also make goat cheese for a group of goat farmers.
You will find a visit to the Middlefield Original Cheese co-op on Route 87 an interesting one. They have a viewing window where you can watch cheese being made - if you are there at the right time.
This organization is an example of a small business that has diversified to develop a market for their products. The business was started to provide a market for Grade B milk produced on Amish farms and shipped in 10-gallon cans to the co-op back in the mid-1990s, some from Trumbull County.
Early cheese makers that were employed by the cooperative wanted to make just the American types of cheeses, such as cheddar, Colby, brick and others. They were easier and quicker to make. However, they were competing with the big cheese makers in the country, and prices they received for their cheeses were not good enough to provide the best income to their producers.
So to stay in business and improve member incomes, the co-op has diversified and been making specialized types of cheese along with their quality American types and, more recently, their own Swiss. They also have a salesman who is out making contacts with retail outlets helping to strengthen that part of their market.
Direct marketing through their own store, along with selling to retail outlets, helps improve the income for producers shipping to the co-op. Nevin says their store has been doing exceptionally well with retail sales reaching new levels some months.
An elected Amish Board of Directors makes the policies for this organization. These policies are then carried out by Nevin, the manager and cheese maker, and his employees.
When I was on a special assignment with the Ohio State University Extension Service back in the 1990s, I worked with this group to get their co-op reorganized and the cheese house in operation. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience.
Before the cheese house was built, we met in Amish homes, some times during the day and other times at night. Cheese and crackers were always served as snacks and our meetings ended with either a great piece of pie or a delicious sweet roll. They were hard on my diet.

8 Cutting-Edge Fashions That Are Clearly Practical Jokes
#4. The Tampon Wedding Dress
There are a lot of ways a wedding dress can go wrong: feathers, stickers, baby bumps, being on Pamela Anderson, etc. But I'm only going to identify my top two ways to ruin a wedding dress:
A. Use wool.
B. Make it look like a phallus or unused tampon.
And that's about it for me. In 1965, designer Yves Saint Laurent crocheted a wedding dress that was inspired by Russian nesting dolls. If you squint so hard that you look like Gilbert Gottfried after emerging from a month in a cave, then, yeah, you can kind of see the resemblance.
But imagining your way into appreciating this nightmare of a dress takes far too much work for a casual wedding attendee, especially when the groom passed out from the shock of mistaking his bride for a walking dildo and the bride passed out from the heat of wearing the equivalent of 30 sweaters. Even if you manage to endure the spectacle of seeing a Stormtrooper bride, you've still got to greet the woman whose hands are crocheted into a praying position. How? How do you keep a straight face when you're shaking hands with a giant tampon? Don't plan on hugging her unless you happen to be of the stumpy-armed variety, in which case this wedding dress is the least of your problems.

"You look ... beautiful?"
Plus, what will this woman look like on her wedding night? Wool is hot and itchy, and she's got it covering everything but her face. Would you want to spend your honeymoon with the personification of a WebMD rash picture? Don't answer that, weirdo sex freaks.
#3. She's Hungry Like the Wolf
For once, this model's wolfish gaze isn't because she just ate a celery and air pizza. (I acknowledge that the sweater isn't a wolf face but a fox face, but I couldn't resist a Duran Duran joke. Could you in the same situation? Are you sure?) Considering that the designer is the same guy who came up with the jacket made of Kermit puppets, this sweater is actually pretty tame.
In this case, designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac called his runway show "Foxy Lady" and stuck a giant knitted fox on someone's chest, because why bother with subtlety when you can PUT A GIANT FOX ON A WOMAN'S CHEST and call it fashion? If the model's boobs were trick-or-treating, this fox face would be their mask. Best scenario of all, imagine that this is a tiny woman with a stunted torso riding a giant fox. It's easier if you pretend her hands are legs and are probably wearing tiny stirrups just out of the shot.
While every other outfit on this list is like a train wreck that you can't look away from, this one is mesmerizing. It's like the designer fell in love with The Fantastic Mr. Fox and couldn't move forward until he gave the world his own grotesque spin on the movie. Don't look too long into the fox's eyes, though. You'll fall asleep and never wake up.
#2. The Scarf That Someone Forgot to Finish
You know how it goes. One minute you're preparing for a menswear show in Milan, the next minute your Euro/techno/house/trance/banjo/spoken word intro music starts up and it's time to send your models down the runway. It's not until Klaude-Michaele is halfway down the catwalk that you realize you FORGOT TO CAST OFF your knitwear! Even more embarrassing, you accidentally used comically GIANT KNITTING NEEDLES! The kind they use for teaching preschoolers and amputees! You're about to be the laughingstock of Milan! Again!
"Screw it," you hiss in Italian. "Let's-a pretend-a we meant to not-a finish knitting all along-a." (You switched to English for that part.) And so it was that the Frankie Morello brand sent an unfinished scarf down the runway for the fall 2011 collection and no one laughed or pointed. In other words, everyone fell for it. No one was even bothered by the "click click click click" sound that accompanies a set of pacing knitting needles. Plus, the designers behind this aborted arts and craft project made double sure no one mistook their accident for an actual accident by jamming two separate knitting needles into an altogether different hat:
Have you ever seen a man try so hard to not look at the sharp pointy thing dangling near his head? Evolution primed us to avoid this exact situation. This guy must be on the next level of humanity -- the one where we don't mind knitting needles right up next to our cool, fierce eyeballs. Or balls balls, if you're the guy wearing the scarf above.
#1. Munsters Inc.
Before I say anything else about what you see above, I want to make a point about how ridiculous the fashion world is. What you're looking at is American designer Thom Browne's line of monster-inspired menswear, which debuted in January 2012. In January 2013, the exact same guy designed Michelle Obama's Inauguration Day coat.
Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images
Most normal people would take one look at this guy's design aesthetic and run for the hills, literally, because he made his models look like monsters. Or a cross between monsters and football players from the 1920s -- scary, fast guys in either case.
Pierre Verdy/AFP/Getty Images
But Thom Browne isn't some recent fashion school grad trying to get the grown-ups to notice him. He's famous. The prettiest people in the world are wearing his clothes right now, including the most fashion-conscious first lady since Bess Truman. Michelle Obama wore Thom Browne's coat AFTER he had the nerve to send the world's saddest jailbird/businessman out on the runway.
So I can joke and laugh and point and mock all I want, but I obviously don't know the first thing about fashion, thank goodness.

Ruppersberger, Sanchez to Promote New Program to Train Future Cyber Workers
Program readying Maryland for thousands of cyber jobs heading to I-95 corridor
GLEN BURNIE, MD (March 24, 2011) Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger and Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander Sanchez today promoted a new program to train future cyber workers, readying the state for thousands of technical jobs heading to the I-95 corridor. The new program, called the Pathways to Cybersecurity Careers Consortium, is operated by the Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation with a $4.9 million federal grant. The program aims to provide 1,000 new, dislocated or underemployed workers and recently separated veterans with the training they need to land jobs in the cyber industry.
The cybersecurity industry is projected to grow 41 percent in the next 8 years, but is facing a critical shortage of workers. To jobseekers, the program provides career counseling, occupational training and certification as well as job placement assistance. To local businesses, it provides pre-screened cyber professionals, hiring incentives and tax credits.
Maryland is poised to become the cyber capital of the world and we must prepare a pipeline of qualified workers, Congressman Ruppersberger said. These are high-quality, high-paying careers that will help strengthen our local economy and our national security. In this tough economy, I believe it is more important than ever to provide Marylanders with the skills they need so they can go back to work.
In order to compete in the new economy, we need to build the best-equipped and most highly-trained workforce. Under Governor OMalleys leadership and because of the partnerships state government has forged with Congressman Ruppersberger and the rest of our federal delegation, Maryland has made the necessary investments in our human capital to recover more quickly than other states, Secretary Sanchez said. Cybersecurity and BRAC will create tens of thousands of jobs in Maryland. Partnerships like the Pathways to Cybersecurity Careers Consortium, the Skills2Compete initiative and other investments in workforce development are creating a strong workforce for the future.
Congressman Ruppersberger and Secretary Sanchez promoted the program at the Maryland One-Stop Career Center in Glen Burnie, which has been providing jobseekers with the tools necessary to find a job in todays economy. These include Internet access, resume-writing help, an array of workshops, and free faxing, copying and telephone use. The center has seen a spike in clients since the recession began.
The purpose of the Anne Arundel Career Centers is to provide businesses with a skilled workforce that meets the demands of our regional economy, said Kirkland J. Murray, President and CEO of Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation. Occupational training opportunities, such as the Pathways to Cybersecurity program, give jobseekers the edge they need to be marketable in todays job market and get back to work.

The family of Bernard Bailey, who was shot and killed by Eutawville's police chief in 2011, believes they were robbed in more ways than one.
After federal authorities spent nearly two years investigating the death of 54-year-old Bailey, they closed the case without filing charges.
Bailey's family was disappointed, as they had hoped to see the former chief, Richard Combs, prosecuted for his actions.
In a statement by their attorney, Bailey's family stated they believe racism played a role in his death.
But despite the federal agencies' conclusion, one local prosecutor said the case is not a done deal just yet.
First Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe told The Post and Courier that the State Law Enforcement Division informed him on March 6 that the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division had closed their file on the shooting.
Pascoe said he's now launched his own probe into the killing, and it won't take nearly as long to complete. He's currently assembling a team that will include SLED agents.
Pascoe already has in his possession the case file, which contains more than 500 pages of interviews and statements obtained by the FBI, he said.
"I think I need to interview the witnesses myself or my team does," Pascoe said. "After looking through the file, I had almost as many questions as I did answers."
Pascoe said he is not criticizing the federal investigation, but he'd like to follow up on issues raised as a result of the probe. He would not specify further.
Carl Grant, the attorney representing Bailey's family, released a statement Monday afternoon expressing their frustration with the lack of action in the case.
In the statement, the family said that Bailey, an unarmed black man, was shot three times and killed by Combs, a white officer. "Yet, after 20 months of investigation, the justice department has sadly concluded that since the dead Mr. Bailey and others cannot testify that Combs was uttering racial epithets to Bailey while pulling the trigger, or prove through other means that Combs killed Mr. Bailey because of his race, there is no basis for a civil rights violation prosecution," it stated.
Bailey, a retired correctional officer, was shot during a confrontation with Combs in the parking lot of the community's Town Hall on May 2, 2011. Bailey's friends have said the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute over a traffic ticket issued to one of Bailey's daughters, but officials have refused to discuss details about the case.
"We have no intentions of fanning the flames of racism, the facts are the facts. But we hope that any fair minded person who has a nose can recognize the putrid, sickening and gut wrenching smell of injustice when it enters the room," the family's statement said.
Combs was originally placed on leave but was later terminated on Nov. 1, 2011, according to S.C. Criminal Justice Academy records.
Combs' attorney, Norma Jett, did not return a message left at her office, and a phone number for Combs could not be located.
A representative with the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division did not return a call seeking comment.

What to Expect During the First Year of your Baby's Life
By Deanie Barth, MSPT, Physical Therapist
Deanie's Milestones — Basics for your baby's first year (as it pertains to physical development):
- At around 2-3 months, if a baby is placed on his side, he should be able to roll on to his back from his sides.
- At around 4-5 months, the baby will start to roll from his back all the way to his stomach. At this time and in these positions, his abdominals, back and neck strength are starting to increase to prepare the baby for sitting independently.
- Around 6 months, your child should be able to sit independently without support.
- Somewhere around 8-9 months your child will start transitioning from sitting onto all fours and then begin crawling.
- Around 9 months, your child will start to pull to stand and then start cruising using furniture.
- Usually somewhere between 9 and 15 months of age, your little one will stand up and take a step or two. At first, they walk with their legs spread wide apart and their hands way up in the air. This helps to increase their base of support and assist their balance. As their muscles get stronger and their balance improves, you will see a narrower base of support and their arms lower until they are swinging appropriately at their sides.
Deanie's Favorites for Newborns:
There are several toys for newborns available to help your child achieve these developmental milestones. Here are some of my personal favorites. To assist with developing initial neck and trunk strength, the best tummy time toys are the Super Mat and the Play House Gym. At 6 months I especially like toys to help a baby sit AND stand. The Wonderous Wedge is a great baby toy because not only will it encourage your child to sit independently by keeping him entertained with the various items on the sides, it's a developmental toy that encourages your child to stand with support and explore the more intricate items at the top. At 9 months, the Chomp 'n Clack is the perfect baby toy to introduce your child to his first steps.
About ebeanstalk....we started the company in 2006 with the premise that the children grow at a predictable pace. Yes, some may develop quicker than others while some develop more slowly - but in general kids develop at about the same rate. When they learn to walk. When they learn to talk. When they learn their abc's. But at the end of the day, while the probability and likelihood that any of kids will become the next Einstein is small, it does not mean that we won't give our kids the best tools to help them develop, learn and grow. The bottom line is that we will not, and should not settle for any less. We know it sounds cliche that 'the kids are our future' but it's the truth. So, let us start with the basics. The building blocks of good old fashioned (and some fangled ways) to help them become the best kids and young adults they can be. That is what we believe and that is what we strive for every day when we look through thousands upon thousands of the best learning and educational toys for your kids. And ours too. We hope you enjoy ebeanstalk.com and our wonderfully unique assortment of items for kids.

An orthopedic surgeon from Bend said Wednesday he's running for secretary of state, and Republicans hope he'll help them crack a Democratic monopoly on statewide offices.
Dr. Knute Buehler launched his bid after exploring a run and raising money for weeks. He's amassed nearly $200,000 for his campaign to unseat Democrat Kate Brown, who is seeking a second term.
The secretary of state's office is an often-overlooked agency responsible for running elections, auditing government agencies and licensing businesses.
Buehler says he wants the office to use its role with businesses to do more to support them and to advocate for new campaign finance restrictions.
Brown says she's proud of her record and has delivered on her promises to Oregon voters.
News release from the campaign:
Dr. Knute Buehler, an orthopedic surgeon and election reform advocate from Bend, announced his candidacy for Oregon Secretary of State at events in Roseburg and Portland today. Buehler said he will focus the office on being a more welcoming doorstep for those looking to create jobs and control costs in state government by allowing the office to conduct performance audits.
?Our state faces some extraordinary challenges,? Buehler said. ?Oregon needs fresh, energetic, transforming new leaders with experience outside government willing to push past the partisan divide.?
Buehler explained the basics, a ?three point prescription to get Oregon working? saying, ?Everything should meet three simple criteria: Does it improve quality of life, control cost, and build community??
Buehler offered thoughts on how those principles apply to each of the office?s key divisions: Audits, Corporations, Elections, and Archives. He also explained that the Secretary of State?s position on the State Land Board can be a driving force for job creation in rural communities by increasing availability of locally harvested logs for Oregon mills.
Buehler is a vocal advocate for opening Oregon?s partisan primaries, traditionally held in May of even numbered years, to independent and non-affiliated voters similar to systems in Washington and California. ?We are currently leaving a quarter of Oregon voters out of our primaries,? he said. ?That?s neither fair nor healthy and we are now the only state on the west coast that doesn?t have an open primary.?
During the 1990s, Buehler was heavily involved in passing campaign finance reform measures that placed strict limits on campaign contributions from individuals, PACs, and labor unions. Voters enacted the measures in November 1994 but the courts later overturned them.
Buehler held an event Wednesday morning in Roseburg, the town where he was born and raised, before traveling to Portland for a second announcement event at the World Forestry Center. He will also hold events in Eugene, Medford and Bend on Thursday.
Buehler is an orthopedic surgeon from Bend, where he and his wife Patty are raising their two children. He was born and raised in Roseburg and attended Oregon State University where he played on the school?s baseball team, graduated at the top of his class with a degree in micro-biology and became OSU?s first Rhodes Scholar.
He holds a master?s degree in Politics and Economics from Oxford University and received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Dr. Buehler has built a successful medical practice that employs 170 people in Central Oregon and serves on the Board of Directors for St. Charles Medical Center where he has been instrumental in implementing a performance auditing system.

Grad School FAQ's
Graduate School FAQs
Should I get an M.A., an M.F.A., or a Ph.D.?
Graduate School FAQs
Should I get an M.A., an M.F.A., or a Ph.D.?
An M.A. will qualify you to teach in the community college system. It is also popular as a professional development supplement to a K-12 teaching credential.
An M.F.A. is a terminal degree in literary arts. In combination with publications and/or training in teaching, it qualifies you to teach writing at the college and university level.
The Ph.D. is a terminal degree in literary studies and qualifies you to teach literature at the college and university level.
Some students consider applying for M.A. programs as a way to test the waters of grad school before deciding whether to pursue a Ph.D. This is usually inadvisable, since the vast majority of financial aid dollars are awarded to candidates who state that they plan to complete a doctorate and then seek a position as a professor.
People who hold graduate degrees in English find careers in many fields beyond higher education they work in publishing, public relations, government, law, and more. Critical thinking, research, and communications skills are highly valued in a wide range of settings.
How hard is it to get a job as a professor?
Acceptance into graduate school can be very competitive; some schools accept fewer than ten percent of their applicants. The competition is also intense when applying for teaching positions after graduation. Many tenure-track positions in higher education attract applicant pools of 200 or more. Especially at the university level, job candidates must be willing to relocate to secure a job. Nevertheless, with dedication and careful planning, many graduate students will find career opportunities teaching in their field of choice, while others may choose to pursue non-academic options.
When should I start preparing to apply for grad school?
Now. Ideally, you should start your research and planning at least a year and a half before you hope to start your program. The application process is complex, includes multiple stages, and will require a significant amount of original writing.
Where can I get advice about applying to grad school?
The English Department holds an annual brown bag seminar for prospective applicants. If you think you may be interested in grad school, attend this seminar and/or set up an informational meeting with one or more of our faculty members. If you choose to move forward, you should ask a faculty member to act as your mentor through the application process. Some applicants also set up peer mentoring groups in which they study together for exams, critique each others' application essays and writing samples, and share information and moral support.
How important are the GREs? How high do I have to score?
Programs vary in the degree of importance they give to the GREs. Most programs in English and related fields do not look at quantitative scores. Many do look closely at verbal and writing scores, as well as subject test scores. Take the GREs early and don't stress too much about the numbers. Your application essay and writing sample are much more important.
How many reference letters do I need?
Most schools ask for three letters of reference, but it is a good idea to provide four. Identify your four referees very early in the process. At least two months before your first deadline, prepare a complete packet for each referee that includes a draft of your application essay and writing sample. You may also want to include a resume and any additional information that might help them recommend you as strongly as possible. You should also provide information on each of the programs you are applying to, including any specific instructions about how to submit the letter. Don't forget to sign the statement on the reference forms waiving your right to read the letter. Admissions committees will only trust letters that are confidential.
How many schools should I apply to?
The application process is extremely unpredictable and most schools receive far more applications than they can accept. To ensure that you receive at least one acceptance with financial support, apply to a minimum of eight programs. Application fees can be expensive, but most schools will waive the fee in cases of demonstrable financial need. Also, it is a good idea to apply to a range of schools, some with programs that are highly rated and some that have less distinguished rankings but strong offerings in your field. You can find information on programs at the Modern Language Association and Associated Writing Programs websites.
What should I say in my statement of purpose or application essay?
Keep autobiographical information to a minimum. Admissions committees are much less interested in your life story than in your ideas about literature. On the other hand, many programs actively seek candidates who have overcome special hardships, such as physical or learning disabilities, being the first in family to go to college, or growing up in a single-parent household. They also often seek to recruit members of traditionally underrepresented groups according to race, gender, or class. Mainly, you should focus on demonstrating your literary knowledge, as well as your skills as a scholar and writer. Your goal in this document is to outline the program of research or creative activity that you will pursue during your graduate career. You should also identify and define in clear terms the professional specialization that you plan to develop in preparation for the job market. Keeping in mind the number of applications each program receives, try to make your statement stand out from the pile in a positive, meaningful way.
What kind of writing sample should I use?
Each program has different requirements with respect to length and content, but you should submit your best scholarly or creative work and you should plan to take your sample through several revisions in consultation with your faculty mentor.

Dr. Conrad Murray "was the one that was administering [propofol]," she says in a new interview with Robin Roberts on ABC News, referring to the powerful anesthetic that killed the star. "I think he is responsible."
Murray, who has admitted administering propofol to the singer, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Janet Jackson, 43, also describes how she found out her brother had been rushed to the hospital – and how she later learned the shocking news that he'd passed away.
"I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call ... [My assistant] said, 'Your brother's been taken to the hospital. It's on CNN right now,'" Janet tells Roberts. "I called everyone's … There's a line busy or someone wasn't picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya.
"I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody's calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that's how I found out that he was no longer ... I couldn't believe it," she said. "It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream."
Even now, she says, "It's still so difficult for me to believe. It's, you know, you have to accept what is. But it's hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that."
As for how she's coping she says, "It's been a tough year … And a day doesn't go by that I don't think about him."
Roberts' interview with Janet Jackson will air Wed., Nov. 18 at 10 p.m.

SALEM - Containment.
That's job number one for Mid-Ark Utilities and Rig Services a company that seals the oil well drill site right after the pad is installed and protects the ground from any spillage after the rig is up.
Mid-Ark is based in the small industrial park on South Range Road, next to Quaker City Motorsports Park and Jay Larouche, the supervisor for the Pennsylvania and Ohio operations, has been in Ohio for about a year.

Dakotah Anthony, left, and Jay Larouche run the Mid-Ark Utilities and Rig Services operations in Salem. The company's local headquarters is on South Range Road, next to Quaker City Motorsports Park. Larouche is the supervisor for Pennsylvania and Ohio operations while Anthony is his field supervisor. Ten employees work for Mid-Ark which moved onto the property owned by Dan Swindell in September of 2011. The Arkansas-based company places heavy duty spill containment plastic on the well sites. (Salem News photo by Larry Shields)
The company is headquartered in Heber Springs, Ark. There are 10 full-time "hands" at the Salem operations including Field Supervisor Dakotah Anthony. Together Larouche and Anthony oversee the crew leaders and 11 Mid-Ark vehicles that service Chesapeake Exploration drill sites. Chesapeake subcontracts the drilling to Patterson UTI and Nomac.
Mid-Ark goes "wherever Chesapeake wants us," Larouche said, "and right now Chesapeake seems to be hitting Carroll County pretty hard." He said people around here should be happy that Chesapeake is the company drilling
because its such a stickler on safety and spills.
Anthony said Chesapeake is so fussy it chewed out a truck driver for emptying a Mountain Dew can on the ground from the truck cab. "What we do is all environmental containment," Larouche said, "We do hot-shot and roust-about work but our focus in containment."
Once through the well-site gate, Mid-Ark measures the pad and lays out the plastic from huge rolls containing anywhere from 7,000 to 15,000 square feet. "It depends on the rig size," Larouche said and the type of plastic they want. "Generally it's anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 square feet for primary containment," he said, explaining it takes four to five hands, using "special equipment" about four hours.
Anthony said that time can be cut with an experienced crew. The plastic is spliced (more like welded) together using high-temperature $10,000 DemTech machines equipped with rollers and $7,000 hand seamer that looks like a giant soldering iron. All the crewmembers know how to operate the equipment, Anthony said, adding that "once you get the first plastic section down, the others follow."
Right up until it is what they call "bermed off." He added, "It's no that hard to burn through the plastic, but everyone knows what to do. This company's been doing this for 10 years now."
Setting the rig is the biggest part, he said, adding that means secondary containment. Mid-Ark seals off the ground under any building and equipment that might leak.
"Right and tight," Anthony said, noting the two people who started the company were plumbers who know how to make things tight.
Larouche said Mid-Ark does whatever it takes to get the job done and that can mean working anywhere on the clock. "Our job isn't rocket science," Larouche said. "But the hours and the weather will get to you before anything."
Usually that means four to seven days on the drill site, four days for the double derricks and seven for the triples, or a Patterson rigs. Mid-Ark can set the rig containment within a day and Larouche said the company provides free daily containment inspections.
"We pretty much pride ourselves just on containment," he said, adding there are other services like transporting equipment (extra frack tanks) from rigs or roustabouting, which basically includes anything in the oil field.
"But we concentrate on containment," Larouche said.
In Pennsylvania, Larouche had 25 employees and in Arkansas it was upwards of 35. He expects to hire a few more people in the spring.
Dakotah said, "When I started I worked 100-hour weeks. How the job goes depends on the guys you have ... (with a good crew) you can get the job done more efficiently."

NEW WATERFORD - Board members at Crestview are questioning what impact the natural gas boom in the area will have on local schools.
At the board meeting last week, member John Garwood announced an oil and gas boom conference, which is being held on Oct. 1 at the Capital Theater in Columbus. He said the conference is supposed to discuss such topics as community impacts, environmental impacts and tax implications for schools and local government agencies.
Superintendent John Dilling said so far the school district, which has a 1 percent income tax, has seen some increased revenue due to people signing oil and gas leases. However, Dilling said there really have been no royalties yet and there is no way to know how long the boom will last.
He agreed there are a lot of unanswered questions, such as whether population will grow due to the gas and oil industries being in the area. While student population has been declining, numbers the school district have been offsetting through open enrollment, Dilling said the decline now seems to be leveling off.
"It's been all positive at this point," Dilling said. "Now if there is an environmental impact, sure that's a negative."
Dilling added that through the years, a lot of students have moved out of the area. He demonstrated it by asking board members where there children are who have graduated.
"Maybe if there are more opportunities here more will stay and become part of our community," Dilling said.
In other matters before the board:
- The board honored Ron Stratton with the Rebel Pride Award for his help through the years preparing for athletic events, especially at the track, including preparing the long jump pit and setting up the tent.
- The board approved Kimberly Gilber, Ann Hall, Herman Miller and Kathryn Vrabel as resident educator mentors for up to 50 hours of service mentoring new teachers at a rate of $17 per hour. Additionally, Dawn Moore, Tobin Bacon, Jacklynn Mercer and Charlene Mecure were approved to be paid from the high school higher education alignment grant. Finally, the board awarded supplemental contracts through the middle school formative assessment grant program to Herman Miller, Stephanie Herriott, Monica McDonough, Allison Lemaster, Tobin Bacon, Greg Woolman, Gail Barnhart and Deb Stockman.
- Jamie Perna, part-time middle school art teacher, was approved to serve as in a full-time high school art teacher until the return of the regular high school art teacher.
- Jacklynn Mercer was awarded a higher teacher pay scale.
- The board approved the supplemental contract resignations of Alainna Pyat, varsity and junior varsity fall sports cheerleading adviser, and John Bloor, varsity boys track coach. The board approved the contract for Jamiel Radman, junior varsity boys soccer coach; Darren Miller, Camp Fitch adviser; Dave Mackay, seventh grade boys basketball coach; Allison Lemaster, pep club adviser; Phylicia Joy, varsity and junior varsity fall sports cheerleading adviser; and Gregory Woolman, varsity boys track coach.
- The board also approved a long list of substitutes, which the Karen Sapp, who is responsible for calling substitutes asked for the numbers of immediately.
- The next meeting of the board, which will be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 10 will be held in the new performing arts center. It will be the first meeting in the new facility, which has better acoustics than the music suite and Dilling believes will be quieter because of the distance from that facility to the gyms.

Schrodinger's Cat is not dead; Schrodinger's Cat is not alive. It is missing
Everything is interconnected, therefore if the case you are working on isn't getting anywhere, follow the first person you see who seems to know where they are going and the likelihood is you will arrive at the place you need to be. This is the philosophy of "Dirk Gently" a short run BBC Four series based on the book "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams.
Those of you familiar with Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and the numerous spin-offs and remakes might expect to see some very strange things indeed in Dirk Gently. You would not be disappointed. However Dirk Gently does not provide you with one joke after another, but a different way of thinking. With billions and billions of interconnecting threads in the universe everything relates to everything else. The trick is to see how. Dirk, played by Stephen Mangan, is a sort of gritty, educated philosopher, who reminds me of Manard G. Krebbs from the 1950's television series "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" who was allergic to "work" mixed with Gilligan, from "Gilligan's Island" (incidentally both roles were played by Bob Denver). Dirk is lazy, educated, clumsy and careless, yet somehow everything works out, to everyone's amazement. Dirk somehow manages to solve every case, unfortunately usually in a way that results in him not getting paid, thus he is often on the run from creditors and in debt to his secretary and best friend.
BBC Four is not known for its big budget programs and the lack of budget does show through the seams. In fact everything seems a little seamy in this show. However by watching you might just understand Schrodinger's paradox. ... or not.

A 23-year-old Buffalo man has admitted to twice trying to rob college students in November on a street near the University at Buffalo's South Campus, just two weeks after he had been released from prison.
Antoine Matthews, of Martha Avenue, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree attempted robbery, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Matthews, who has previously been convicted on burglary charges, faces up to seven years in prison on each of the counts when he is sentenced May 1 by State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia, plus additional time in prison because of his parole violation, according to District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
Matthews was convicted of trying to rob three UB students at 1:27 a.m. Nov. 17 on Winspear Avenue. He brandished what appeared to be a silver revolver and demanded money. The students ran to the campus and alerted campus police.
Matthews was caught near the intersection of Bailey and Shirley avenues with a silver toy revolver, according to prosecutors.
Assistant District Attorney John Feroleto persuaded the judge to order Matthews to appear in a lineup as part of an investigation into another attempted robbery, which happened about a half an hour before on the same morning involving two female UB students as victims.
Matthews was identified in that lineup, and he pleaded guilty to that charge as well.

WASHINGTON – The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to meet with Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz and local members of Congress to discuss the recent inspector general's audit saying the agency should force the county to pay back $48.5 million in federal aid it received after the surprise snowstorm of October 2006.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., announced Tuesday that he will host the meeting in his office in the coming weeks. FEMA Administrator W. Craig Fugate agreed to the meeting.
"I want the opportunity to sit down with FEMA Administrator Fugate and Erie County officials to get to the bottom of this," Schumer said. "After the storm, Erie County officials worked in good faith with FEMA to respond to the crisis, and we cannot change the rules halfway through the game."
FEMA has 90 days from the report's January release in which to decide whether to seek repayment, and the meeting will take place before the end of that period. FEMA officials have not yet commented on the audit, in which the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security concluded that Erie County did not comply with federal bidding rules for most of the cleanup work by favoring local contractors no matter the cost.
Poloncarz and members of the Western New York congressional delegation have lashed out at the audit, saying the county worked with FEMA during the disaster and didn't discover any problems at the time.

Northwest Iowa's guide to Mountain LionsPosted Wednesday, December 7, 2011, at 6:25 PM
There's a buzz going around of possible Mountain Lions in Northwest Iowa. One picture circulating Facebook, which was taken by a trail camera, shows a large cat attacking a Buck. Everyone seems to be excited yet scared of what this new possibility may mean for us small town Iowans. I've done some research and good news people, there's no need to fear. This Mountain Lion threat does have some positive aspects. Let's review.
1. A Mountain Lions preferred diet is deer, elk, livestock, and pets. I don't know about anyone else, but I've seen a lot of deer carcasses this fall that were struck by vehicles on the side of the road. Mountain Lions can now act as road kill cleanup for us Iowa drivers.
2. Many citizens motivated by fear will now buy gym memberships instead of walking dirt or back roads for exercise. This stimulates our economy right?
3. Parents now have a valid excuse why their teenagers can not go "gravel travelin" or "cruising" at night.
4. A pet owner will not forget to let their pets back into the house with the threat of possible Mountain Lions, which is a bonus for neighbors irritated by barking dogs.
5. Mountain lions are said to be most active in winter because their large paws can sprint faster over deep snow than their prey and these lions are so smart it's said that they can visually track deer by following their hoof-prints in the snow. Now Iowa hunters can honestly tell their wives that an expensive tree blind is a necessity for their hunting safety.
Now if you are the unfortunate individual who does happen to encounter a Mountain Lion, there are some do's and don'ts that may save your life.
1. Don't run away. Mountain Lions can reach speeds up to 45 miles per hour. It may be your first instinct but this excites the animal. If you can't outrun your dog, what makes you think you can outrun a Mountain Lion?
2. Do yell at the Mountain Lion. It helps them identify you as not being their prey and may help scare them off. Christmas jingles are always the easiest to remember and who knows, Jingle Bells, may end up saving your life.
3. Don't crouch down or turn your back on the animal. Stare down your opponent like he's stolen your purse and slowly back away.
4. Do pretend to be bigger than you are. Puff up those shoulders, stretch out your arms, and let that gut hang out. Intimidation works in the cat world no matter how stupid you think you look.
5. Don't play dead. This only tells the Mountain Lion one thing, "Order Up!"

Alyce, I just now read this in advance of updating my own blog. I've heard the same types of conversations, but not in a humorous light. It's almost like the "Zombie Apocolypse Preparation Guide," or whatever it's called. Good job!

My name is Alyce Townsend. I have lived in Spencer, Iowa for the last 6 and half years. I'm originally a small town girl from Primghar but moved to Spencer because of the big city shopping with small town appeal. Okay, maybe that's not the whole truth. I hate driving in snow. Living in Spencer allows me to never have to leave town in the winter! I'm a 26 year old mother of three children ages 6, 5, and 4. Yes, that's how old they are. Yes, I know. Please stop laughing. I am currently enrolled in Iowa Lakes Community College for my Business Degree with hopes for someday having my own online clothing store. When I'm not doing homework, chasing kids, or cleaning house I love to write. Writing is my release and I currently have been working on screenplays I hope will someday become Oscar worthy motion pictures. I must warn you that I do at times have a twisted sense of humor, so I hope that when reading my blogs of whatever topic I may joke about, you leave with a smile and a whole new perspective!

With her inimitable gift for describing the workings of the heart and mind, Edna O'Brien introduces us to a vivid new cast of restless, searching people who – whether in the Irish countryside or London or New York – remind us of our own humanity. A librarian waits in the lobby of a posh Dublin hotel – expecting to meet a celebrated poet while reflecting on the great love who disappointed her. Irish workers dream of becoming millionaires in London, but long for their quickly changing homeland – exiles in both places. A searing anatomy of class is seen through a little girl's eyes. In language that is always bold and vital, Edna O'Brien pays tribute to the universal forces that rule our lives.
©2011 Edna O'Brien (P)2011 Dreamscape Media, LLC
"Throughout, tragedy mingles with beauty, yearning with survival, and destruction with moments of grace." (Publishers Weekly)
"A worthy heir to the great Irish forebears in Irish literature." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"[Edna] O'Brien has great gifts: an inimitable lyrical voice; an unflinching, uncompromising gaze that lays bare love, longing, and families; and an acute insight into the tragedy of human existence." (Irish Independent News)

i love appleseed its the best :)
I always wanted to read the manga version. I seen the anime version on ani-monday which it was licensed by Manga. ^________^
i seen it on ani-monday too and i seen it on demand which was really cool
Both the mopvies were really good. I saw the second one first though so i was a little confused what was all going on then had to go watch the first one. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
i've only seen the first one :(
i don't knoe if where there is ex machina onlie but the original appleseed is on animethat dubbed. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
thats kool what other anime do you watch?
i would be here for a long time writting all the titles i watch and i watch stuff on like three different anime sites. right now i'm watching gundam seed, e's otherwise, and code geass.... "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
Ive been an appleseed fan for a while, im seen all 3 films, the 2 newer ones that were full CG (which i loved) and the older one. they are both great films. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
i've only seen one and i think t was one of the newer ones
ive seen the new one and it was good. looked like i seen it befor or just a look alike
it was great but never saw the ones befor it so nothing to compair it to
This is apparently a manga by Shirow Masume who did Gits, but I didn't like the version they had on SYFY. The dubb was bad. I'd rather see the newer version.
but i didnt know if it was worth it, i was watchin blood+ for the first time then

International Tax as International Law
Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
University of Michigan Law School
March 2004
U of Michigan Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 41; Michigan Law and Economics Research Paper No. 04-007
The purpose of this article is to introduce to the international lawyer the somewhat different set of categories (e.g., residence and source rather than nationality and territoriality) employed by international tax lawyers, and explain the reasons for some of the differences. At the same time, it attempts to persuade practicing international tax lawyers and international tax academics that their field is indeed part of international law, and that it would help them to think of it this way. For example, knowledge of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties would help international tax lawyers in interpreting tax treaties, and avoid some common mistakes.

Second Harmonic Generation from a Gaussian Beam (Wave Optics)
Application ID: 14701
It is possible to generate harmonics that are multiples of the frequency of laser light by using nonlinear optical materials. This model demonstrates second harmonic generation using transient wave simulation and nonlinear material properties. A YAG (lambda=1.06 micron) laser beam is focused on a nonlinear crystal so that the waist of the beam is inside the crystal.
