Veterans Network
Veterans Congressional Internship Program
Who: Military veterans who have an interest in being able to qualify for employment on Congressional Staff. Should be interested in Congressional Staff service as a career path and not a short term job.
What: A ten week paid internship on Congressional Staff, learning the Congressional Legislative and Budget process and obtaining the qualifications, experience, training, and credentialing necessary to be a potential candidate for employment on Congressional Staff. These internships are overseen, administered, and mentored by the Washington Scholars Intern Program Management Team, a motivated group of more than 20 Washington Scholars Graduates now working full time in the nation's capitol and "giving back" of their time and expertise as successful graduates of the Washington Scholars Program by volunteering their service on the Management Team.
When: Fall [usually beginning in September], Winter/Spring [start dates flexible from January through March], and Summer [start dates in late May or early June].
Where: Congressional Staff, U. S. Congress, Washington, DC. Preferably on the staff of their own Congressman or Senator, but if those are unavailable, then on another Congressional Staff that will provide the necessary training, experience, qualifications, and credentials to qualify for future employment consideration on Congressional Staff.
Why: To gain necessary knowledge, experience, training, qualification, and credentialing to better be able to compete for employment on Congressional Staff.
To bring their valuable military service experience, training, and knowledge to Congressional Staff with a view towards enhancing Congress' available on-staff expertise in military programs and projects through military veterans that have actually worked on those programs and experienced firsthand what worked and what did NOT work.
How: Go to the Washington Scholars Intern Programs website at www.WashingtonScholars.org and review the application procedures, then complete and submit the application forms. Clearly identify the application as "Veterans Congressional Internship Program" and indicate whether your candidacy is for Fall, Winter/Spring, or Summer. Application deadlines are always 90 days prior to the desired start date in order to provide sufficient time for the Selection Committee to review, grade, and then select the final candidates for each Washington Scholars Class.

Interesting stats reported on Bill Cunningham on radio tonight:
In 2011 ... total killings in 2011 ... 11,000 (this would also include suicides & accidents)
6000 related to handguns
503 involved hammers
323 involved rifles
The vast majority of killings involved criminal activities like drug dealing or gang violence.
With so many millions (I've heard 2.8 million mentioned for handguns) in the hands of the citizenry, it certainly would appear that the vast majority of gunowners are careful with them & law abiding.
Biden says "We must DO something," about those rifles that cause 323 killings a year ... guess the 500 in Chicago don't bother him as much, or the 6000 caused by handguns (not that I think additional handgun laws are going to help either).

- not bad but lacking by buckeye2525 on 2/8/2013
It is a nice read, and easy to understand but I feel it is a loose translation I prefer ESV, NLT, NIV OR NKJV
- I love this version. by SukisMom on 1/17/2013
The format is easy to follow and I love the extra notes. My mom also bought one and really loves it.
- A new favorite by Chris on 5/18/2012
There are many bible purists who insist on the KJV or nothing at all, and that is fine. For me, I like to try new things, and this version is different. The Voice is setup in such a way as to allow the reader to follow conversations and quotes a lot easier, it does not change the meaning at all. The book refers to Jesus as the Annointed One and to GOD as the Eternal One. This is a refreshing new way to read the bible, there are copious notes throughout, just a real pleasure to read.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Through the Looking Glass
Turkey hunters often get so ramped up that they fail to notice pretty obvious stuff. You listen so intently for a gobble or bore holes in the air looking for a distant bird that you almost trip over something in your lap.
That's where two buddies and I were one late-May morning in southwestern Wisconsin. The day had already been memorable, with an hour-long lightning storm, 30-mph winds and several inches of rain. But the rain had stopped, and we were at a new property, ready for action.
The spot had some pretty steep terrain, so we were slipping along below a ridge, stopping now and then to peek over the top into the timber below or glass ahead of us in the hopes of seeing a bird. And then we looked down. Sure enough, there was a gobbler track, and it couldn't have been more than a few minutes old. In fact, the tracks followed the ridge in the same direction we were heading.
Not wanting to ignore the ultra-obvious, we followed the tracks until they terminated at the edge of a small woodlot. The timber was about 100 yards deep and was bordered on the other side by a huge cornfield, which is where we figured the gobbler might be drying off and strutting. However, we didn't know for sure. We hadn't yet run a call, so the safe play would be to set up, call a bit and make the next decision based on any response from the bird. Or, we could slip through the woods and glass the field, and then make a move on the turkey. Hmm.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Paul Cataldo, Bohemian Jean Performs at Classic Wineseller
|Arts & Entertainment
|The Classic Wineseller
|20 Church Street, Waynesville, NC
|Kay S. Miller
|Jan 11, 2014
Waynesville, NC - The Classic Wineseller, 20 Church Street, welcomes Bohemian Jean on Friday, January 10 at 7pm. The duo is comprised of Waynesville residents, vocalist Jessi Stone, and her singer-songwriter husband, Matt Welborn. Stone chooses covers that suit her soulful alto voice — including hits from Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Patsy Cline, and Carly Simon. Welborn complements his wife's voice with rich harmonies, also adding his own fun covers and original music to the mix. The duo's natural chemistry shines through when they perform the music they love.
Singer-songwriter, Paul Cataldo (guitar, banjo, vocals) performs Saturday, January 11 at 7pm. Cataldo has been playing music since he was 14 years old, when he heard Neil Young for the first time. Cataldo focused on drawing classic rock songs from his Strat using the songs of John Fogerty, Lindsay Buckingham, and David Gilmour to guide him. He landed his first job playing lead with Shortbus, a Boston-based cover band.
After three years of playing other people's music, Cataldo moved to New York where he bought a Martin guitar and began to find "his" voice as a songwriter. Cataldo regularly tours the eastern US--from Portland, ME to Savannah, GA. His first full length LP "Rivers, Roads & Mountains" (2009) has received steady airplay on college stations in the northeast. The LP was recorded at Quad Studios in Nashville, the same room where Neil Young recorded his breakthrough record Harvest.
The Wineseller's restaurant opens at 5:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays serving freshly prepared small plate entrees and tapas-style fare. On LIVE music nights there is a $10 per person minimum which includes food, drink, and retail purchases. Reservations are acccepted between 6pm and 7pm by calling 828-452-6000.

Nothing special 1/13/2015
I wouldn't call this magical. For the price, it does not deliver.
Over-hyped 11/29/2011Abigail from Butler, PA
When it sounds too good to be true... It's not a bad skin cream/oil/lotion - but it doesn't work miracles like the reviews I read online. At least not for me anyway. It rarely ever soaked into my skin and I could only use it at night because it makes myskin look very greasy.

Egypt should #FreeAJStaff and other jailed journalists
Today, on Al-Jazeera's Global Day of Action, the Qatari-based broadcaster is urging Egyptian authorities to release its journalists who have been held behind bars for months. CPJ calls on the Egyptian government to release all of the journalists jailed in the country. At least nine journalists are currently imprisoned in Egypt, four of whom work for Al-Jazeera, according to CPJ research.

It's nearing the end of the semester. The air has grown warm, students are reading out of doors and hanging from the trees in hammocks. In a little more than a week, black caps and gowns will dot the scene as we celebrate a new chapter in
students' colleagues' lives. A long-anticipated summer break is only a few days away. There's so much warmth and joy in the air. Still, there's just a hint of sadness lingering about the edges of all this excitement.
And I'm feeling a bit wabi sabi today.
Yes, I know that I misuse this term. From my admittedly flawed recollection, wabi sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that sees beauty even (or perhaps especially) when it is mixed with imperfection. I first ran across this proposed use of wabi sabi in Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. She was looking for a word to express that feeling of being both happy and sad at the same time and wabi sabi seemed to fit the bill.
Her use of the term really resonated at the time and so wabi sabi comes to mind occasionally when I encounter imperfect beauty in my own life experience or more often when I feel a great deal of joy mixed with just a tinge of sadness. As the semester draws to a close, this phrase floated into my mind once again.
There's plenty of beauty to be seen at the end of the semester:
- in the once quiet, insecure, uncertain student who stands to give a strong, thoughtful, and thorough end-of-semester presentation.
- in the smile of a senior with only a couple of final exams standing between her and graduation.
- in the freshman who says, "I've learned how much I really do have to study to be successful."
- and in the student who sits across from my desk with a giant grin on his face and a biology exam marked "A" in his hand, the same student who sank into that chair 13 weeks ago close to tears and wondering how to move forward.
Still, there's just a hint of imperfection mixed with the beauty. This time of year calls so many of my students to introspection and reflection on the semester past and it becomes more difficult to gloss over those flaws:
- Just a hint of anxiety in the student who is still unsure what direction he's headed.
- A whiff of sadness in the student who is sitting out for a semester because of health struggles back home.
- The grief I feel as I read an email from a student who tells me he regrets the level of effort he's shown and is afraid he might have disappointed the people who care about him.
Yet, even here there is room for hope. There's beauty mingled with the imperfection. (Tweet This)
I have hope to share with the student who can't see his own potential.
I have hope to share with the student who feels that life is on-hold.
I have hope to share with the student who faces regret.
And I feel anew a sense of gratefulness that I teach at a school where we embrace faith as we learn. I don't have to bite back these words of hope when yet another student drops into my office to share a bit of life's imperfection. So, I take a deep breath and plunge ahead, sharing just a hint of this great hope.

Your location: Home > National Reports > National Communications (Annex I) > Additional Background Information
Additional Background Information
COP 19/CMP 9 (Nov. 2013, Warsaw, Poland) adopted three decisions relating to national communications (NCs)
of Annex I Parties:
COP 19 adopted the guidelines 23/CP.19 for
the technical review of information reported under the Convention related to greenhouse gas inventories,
biennial reports and national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention. These
review guidelines provide a solid foundation for the upcoming technical reviews of NC6 and BR1 in early
2014 under the new IAR process. The section on the guidelines for the review of GHG inventories is
currently a placeholder in these newly adopted review guidelines.
COP decision 22/CP.19 requests
the secretariat to prepare a compilation and synthesis (C&S) report on the information reported by
Annex I Parties in their NC6 for consideration by COP 20 (Dec. 2014).
CMP decision 9/CMP.9 requests
the secretariat to prepare a C&S report on supplementary information incorporated in NC6 submitted in
accordance with Article 7, paragraph 2 of the Kyoto Protocol also for consideration by COP 20 (Dec.2014).
COP 18, (Dec. 2012 in Doha, Qatar), adopted the common tabular format for the "UNFCCC biennial
reporting guidelines for developed country Parties" (FCCC/CP/2012/L.12). Developed
country Parties shall use the reporting guidelines for the preparation of their biennial reports. First
biennial reports are due 1 January 2014.
COP18/CMP8 also adopted COP decision 20/CP.18 on the "Status of submission and review
and compilation and synthesis of fifth national communications from Parties inccluded in Annex I to the
Convention and a CMP decision 7/CMP.8 on the "Supplementary information
incorporated in national communications from Parties included in Annex I to the Convention that are
also Parties to the Kyoto Protocol and submitted in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto
Protocol, which had been forwarded to these bodies by SBI 36.
SBI 37 (Doha) took note of the status of submission and review of fifth national communications (FCCC/SBI/2012/INF.11). All national
communications received so far have been reviewed and review reports have been posted on the UNFCCC
SBSTA 37 (Doha) concluded with the adoption of a work programme for the revision of review guidelines in
2013 and 2014 (FCCC/SBSTA/2012/L.28). According to the work
programme, the review guidelines for national communications and biennial reports will be developed and
adopted by the end of 2013, and the revised review guidelines for GHG inventories will be adopted by the
end of 2014. These review guidelines will lay a solid foundation for the upcoming international assessment
and review (IAR) commencing in 2014.
Workshop on a common tabular format for the "UNFCCC biennial reporting guidelines for developed
country Parties"
11-12 October 2012, UN Campus, Langer Eugen (Room 1916), Hermann-Ehlers-Str. 10, Bonn, Germany
The report, agenda and the background documents can be found here.
SBSTA 36 (Bonn, May 2012)
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its thirty-sixth session agreed
upon the Work programme on a common reporting format for the "UNFCCC biennial reporting guidelines
for developed country Parties" as contained in Annex I decision 2/CP.17. During the session, Parties
provided views on the content of the common tabular format for electronic reporting. Based on these views,
the co-chairs prepared a
non-paper (434 kB) . The purpose of this non-paper is to provide input for
further considerations by Parties on this matter.
COP17, SB 35 (Durban, December 2011)
Critical decisions were reached in
Durban to further
strengthen the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) framework for Annex I Parties. These will
contribute important elements to the post-2012 global mitigation regime, and form the basis for the
implementation of the Kyoto Protocol (KP) beyond its first commitment period.
In the context of the future mitigation regime under the Convention, governments reached breakthrough
decisions for Annex I Parties MRV framework. Parties agreed to adopt the UNFCCC biennial reporting (BR)
guidelines and the modalities and procedures for international assessment and review (IAR). In addition,
the process and timeline for revisions of these guidelines and guidelines for reporting and for review of
national communications were set.
The progress on MRV was significant and this creates a certainty among Parties and other stakeholders in
the UNFCCC process that developed countries are approaching their post-2012 commitments under the
Convention, including those relating to targets and financial resources with a sense of responsibility and
accountability. Crucial for the further development of the MRV framework for Annex I Parties is the work
under the SBSTA on the common reporting formats for biennial reports and the revision of the review
guidelines for biennial reports and the national communications.
In Durban, the secretariat organized a side event
related to MRV, at which the conference participants were presented with insights into reporting of
policies and measures, projections as well as support provided to developing countries.
Under the AWG-LCA, in Panama (October 2011), the Parties advanced on the content of the biennial reports
(BR) and on the modalities and procedures for international assessment and review (IAR). Based on the
Parties views provided, the co-facilitators have prepared the draft texts on the elements for the reporting
guidelines for BR, with the view to strengthen the reporting by Annex I Parties, in particular, on the
provision of support and on the monitoring of the progress towards GHG emission reduction targets. Also,
the draft text was prepared on the elements for modalities and procedures for IAR and the constructive
discussion was held on the objectives, scope and process of the IAR. Parties have submitted further views
on BR and IAR to the secretariat and will continue advancing on the draft texts in Durban.
COP 15, SBI 31 (Copenhagen, December 2009):
Under the agenda item 'National communications and greenhouse gas inventory data from Parties
included in Annex I to the Convention', the SBI began its consideration of the date of submission of
the NC6s of Annex I Parties and agreed to set this date at its thirty-second session and to forward a draft
decision on this matter for adoption by the COP at its sixteenth session. The SBI also agreed to
continue its consideration of the other matters relating to the status of the review of fourth national
communications and preparations for the review of fifth national communications at its thirty-second
COP 13, CMP 3, SBI 27 (Bali, December 2007):
Under the agenda item 'National communications and greenhouse gas inventory data from Parties included
in Annex I to the Convention', the SBI considered the sub-item 'Compilation and synthesis of fourth
national communications'. It had before it documents FCCC/SBI/2007/INF.6 and
Add.1 and 2, which contains the compilation and synthesis report of the NC4 and RDPs. Following a
recommendation of the SBI, the COP emphasized that the national communications and annual greenhouse
gas inventories submitted by Annex I Parties are the main source of information for reviewing the
implementation of the Convention by these Parties, and that the reports from the in-depth reviews of these
national communications provide important additional information for this purpose,and welcomed the work of
the secretariat in preparing the compilation and synthesis report on fourth national communications. It
requested Annex I Parties to submit to the secretariat a fifth national communication by 1 January 2010,
with a view to submitting the sixth national communication four years after this date, and concluded that
the review of the national communications and consideration of the outcomes of this review have proved to
be useful and should continue in accordance with decisions 2/CP.1, 6/CP.3 and 11/CP.4. It further decided
that national communications can be submitted to the secretariat in electronic format only. The CMP further
requested Annex I Parties that are also Parties to the Kyoto Protocol to include, in their fifth national
communications, the necessary supplementary information required under the guidelines for reporting
supplementary information under Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol contained in the annex to decision
15/CMP.1, in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol.
COP 12, CMP 2, SBI 25 (Nairobi, November 2006):
Under the agenda item 'National communications from Parties included in Annex I to the Convention',
the SBI considered the sub-item 'Synthesis of reports demonstrating progress in accordance with Article
3, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol'. It had before it document FCCC/SBI/2006/INF.7,
which provides information on the status of submission and review of the NC4 and RDPs. As informal
consultations on this issue could not reach agreed conclusions, the SBI agreed to forward the item to the
twenty-sixth session of the SBI (May 2007). The views of the Group of 77 and China submitted during the
session are contained in document FCCC/SBI/2006/MISC.17.
COP 11, CMP 1, SBI 23 (Montreal, December 2005):
The SBI considered options for the review process, based on a note prepared by the secretariat on
streamlining review processes under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol (FCCC/SBI/2005/16).
The SBI prepared draft decisions to the COP and CMP on this matter. The SBI also took note of a status
report on the review of third national communications (FCCC/SBI/2005/INF.9).
The COP adopted decision 7/CP.11 entitled
"Review processes during the period 2006–2007 for Parties included in Annex I to the
Convention" , recognizing that streamlining of the review procedures is required during the period
2006–2007 in order to ensure the effective use of resources needed to meet additional review
requirements for Annex I Parties that are also Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. It requested the secretariat
to organize a centralized review of fourth national communications, and an in-country, in-depth review of
the fourth national communication for those Parties that request one. It also requested the secretariat to
prepare the compilation and synthesis report on fourth national communications for consideration by the
Conference of the Parties at its thirteenth session (December 2007). The CMP, by its decision
26/CMP.1, requested the
secretariat to prepare the compilation and synthesis of supplementary information included in fourth
national communications, in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol, submitted by
Annex I Parties to the Convention that are also Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, for consideration at its
third session (December 2007).

hey there, its the rookie again with some questions. We are following along with Smartworks and I just wanted to clarify a few loose ends that I can't seem to find on the DVDS. We will begin mini-pile later this week and I want to make sure I am prepared.
1) is there an average time frame on that? still around 10 minutes per session?
2) The next progression if 9-pile. Are you to use pressure through that whole process and with each command?
a. Again what is the time frame on that?
b. Also when do you use start using "Back" (after he is getting it on fetch). The video starts with using it during the en route retrieve and then he uses it as the command.
c. Also do you use dead bird at that same time before?
d. The whole timing issue is VERY vague and VERY confusing for a rookie like myself so I apologize for asking the same question. But its better for me to have some understanding of the norm. Cobb picks up on these things very quickly.
3) Is the next step after this (LONG WAYS OUT BUT) pattern blinds?

Is Miley Cyrus ready for Playboy?
The former Disney pop star stripped down to the bare minimum in new pictures taken by acclaimed photographer Vijat Mohindra. Although the photos were taken back in May, they have just now hit the 'net.
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus Flaunts Her Sexy Side With Lil' Kim & Dolly Parton!
Hopefully these were meant for public release. If not, the 19-year-old LOL actress can add that to her "OMG, why me" list!
Another thing to add to the list? Cops raced to the newly engaged star's Los Angeles home last night after receiving a report about a possible invasion.
According to TMZ, when the police arrived on the scene, it turned out to be a false alarm, and they later realized it may have been a prank known as "swatting."
When the LAPD responded immediately to yesterday's 6:50 pm phone call with guns drawn, they soon came to the realization that the home was quiet, and no one was there.
DETAILS: Miley Cyrus Reveals Her Obsession For Another Man!
Miley may have fallen victim to the act of "swatting," where a caller tries to trick emergency responders into dispatching law enforcement to a scene by making up a serious crime.
The cops told the media outlet that if the call was indeed a prank and the caller is caught, they'll be arrested. If someone were to be hurt or killed in the process due to the prank, the caller could even face felony charges!
Miley is currently in Philly with her boy Liam Hemsworth as he films his new movie, so it's all good in Miley's hood.

Assignment: Education-Anti-Bullying Essay
When I was little I always loved the Wizard of Oz and Annie and the Disney princesses and all of that stuff," said Ammie Jergenson, Defying Gravity essay writer.
"I really like the show Wicked," said Ammie, "even though I've never seen it."
So this determined La Crescent High School ninth grader, who has a love of music, decided to figure out a way to get herself to New York to see this Broadway musical about an outcasted wicked witch named Elphaba.
"Ammie had found on the Internet an anti-bullying contest," said Therese Przytarski. "It's a subject dear to her heart, and she just said, 'do you think that I could write an essay for this?'"
"She came to me and she said, 'mom what do you think my chance are?' I said, "Ammie just as good as anybody else's," said Sue. "Somebody's gonna win.'"
"She came back a day or two later and said, 'you know if I would win that I could get to see Wicked in New York.' That really got her going," said Przytarski.
Ammie didn't miss a beat. With the guidance of her English teacher, she decided to compete in the "Defying Gravity" essay contest hosted by BullyBust a campaign started in 2009 by The National School Climate Center.
"I really like that fact that it's dealing with bullying and stuff so I kind of wanted to try... give it a shot," said Ammie.
The words in Ammie's essay came easily, because bullying is a familiar issue for her.
"When I was younger, like Kindergarten or younger than that, there was this girl who at the pool sometimes she just would... she snapped my goggles back on my face once and would just kind of harass me and my best friend when we were there," said Ammie. "Sometimes at school."
And when Ammie was in grade school this bullying was intensified by the fact that she has Cerebral Palsy.
"I've always known I was different," said Ammie, "but I haven't felt it as badly as I know some people have."
Which is why Ammie wanted to talk about her experiences with bullies.
"Things and people will come along who don't want us to fly, and we just have to block them out," said Ammie. "The fact is, there will always be people like that, and we can never let them pull us down. We have to go on in our lives with, hope, happiness, strength and courage. If we would let those bullies get to us, we would never get anywhere in our lives."
"I read it the first time, and I thought this is really good," said Sue. "But the second time I read it, I was totally blown away by it."
Ammie was hoping the judges would be too.
"She kept saying, 'I didn't win. I know I didn't win.' She'd check the web site... there's nothing on there. Well, on December 7, which was my birthday and she told me she was gonna win this for my birthday, they called," said Sue. "I just freaked out."
"I didn't think I was going to win'" said Ammie. "So, this is really cool because I've wanted to go to New York for a long time."
This announcement was music to Ammie's ears along with the potential sounds of past bullies and bullying victims living in harmony.
"The message is you can do something about what's happening to you and make your life better, make the world better by writing about it as Ammie did or taking a stand," said Przytarski."
"In her essay, she said Elphaba defies gravity. I think Ammie can, too," said Sue. "I think... I'm going to get all teary-eyed now. Ammie can, too. And I think anybody can. They just need the support to do it."

You have to be a fool, a charlatan, or seriously uninformed to deny the reality of climate change.
Elected officials who are deniers fall into the first two groups. That a majority of them are Republicans should not surprise. Democrats, on the other hand, have little to crow about. The national election came and went with virtually no mention of global warming. Only New York mayor Michael Bloomberg's endorsement of President Obama powered the issue into the headlines.
The blinders of expediency keep the political class silent. And, as Wen Stephenson wrote in last week's Phoenix, the mainstream media has ignored its responsibility to push the issue forward. Meanwhile, our planet slowly ushers in a new era with bursts of destruction.
Superstorm Sandy is only the latest incident of ecological backlash spawned by long-term warming trends. Estimates of the damage keep climbing, but as we went to press they were at $50 billion. In New York City alone the number of those homeless ranges from 20,000 to 40,000. The New Jersey coast looks like a war zone, as do slices of Queens and Staten Island. Lower Manhattan and Hoboken were under water for days. The damage to coastal Connecticut was just as bad. All things considered, greater Boston got off lightly. What about next time?
Global warming, of course, does not cause hurricanes or tropical cyclones such as Sandy. What it does do is fuel their intensity and increase their frequency. Last year Vermont was hard-hit by rains from Hurricane Irene, causing unexpected flooding of surprising intensity over a much larger area than anticipated. It is impossible to link a single storm with a larger pattern of change. But the warming trend is clear, and so are the results.
This past summer wildfires ravaged parts of Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Colorado. At the same time, an unprecedented heat wave throughout the Midwest brought three-digit temperatures, along with their familiar cousin, drought. As was the case with Sandy, these naturally occurring disasters were intensified in both depth and breadth by climate change.
Take the Colorado fires as an example. A warmer-than-usual winter meant a lighter-than-usual snowpack in the Sierra Mountains — and that snow, in turn, melted sooner. Higher overall temperatures meant less cooling at night, so forests were prematurely dry and ready for ignition. Add a bolt of lightning and presto — hellfire on earth.
Princeton University's Michael Oppenheimer said the wildfires of 2010 are "vivid images of what we can expect to see more of in the future."
The recent past provides enough examples that you'd think common sense would cause climate-change deniers to at least pause and maybe reconsider their delusional position. The problem is, this right-wing ideology is grounded in a pre-modern, superstitious frame of reference that denies evolution and holds that rape cannot cause pregnancy. It's rather amazing that deniers accept that the earth is round and that it revolves around the sun.
Companies such as Exxon are masterful at exploiting this peculiarly American brand of willful ignorance. And Corporate America's hired hands among Republicans and conservative Democrats are quick to play along. But not all capitalists are willing to wallow in denial.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is a viral inflammation of the retina of the eye.
CMV retinitis
CMV retinitis is caused by a member of a group of herpes-type viruses. CMV is very common. Most people are exposed to CMV in their lifetime, but typically only those with weakened immune systems become ill from CMV infection. Serious CMV infections can occur in people who have weakened immune systems due to:
Some people with CMV retinitis have no symptoms.
Symptoms include:
Retinitis usually begins in one eye, but often progresses to the other eye. Without treatment, progressive damage to the retina can lead to blindness in 4-6 months or less.
Even with regular treatment, the disease can worsen to blindness. This may be because the virus becomes resistant to the drugs so that the drugs are no longer effective, or because the patient's immune system has deteriorated further.
Patients with CMV retinitis also have a chance of developing retinal detachment, in which the retina detaches from the nerves of the eye, causing blindness. Systemic CMV infection also can occur.
CMV retinitis is diagnosed through a standard ophthalmologic exam. Dilation of the pupils and ophthalmoscopy will show signs of CMV retinitis.
CMV infection can be diagnosed with blood or urine tests that look for substances specific to the infection. A tissue biopsy can detect the viral infection and presence of CMV virus particles, but this is rarely done.
The goal of treatment is to stabilize or restore vision and prevent blindness. Long-term treatment is often needed. Medications may be given by mouth (orally), through a vein (intravenously), or injected directly into the eye (intraviteously).
The disease will sometimes get worse, even with treatment.
If symptoms worsen or do not improve with treatment, or if new symptoms develop, call your health care provider.
People with AIDS (especially those with a very low CD4 count) who have vision problems should make an appointment for an immediate eye exam.
A CMV infection usually only causes symptoms in people with a weakened immune system. Certain medicines (like cancer therapy) and diseases (such as AIDS) can cause a weakened immune system.
People with AIDS who have a CD4 count of less than 100 should be examined regularly for this condition, even if they do not have symptoms. If you had CMV retinitis in the past, you should take preventative treatment for this condition even if your CD4 count stays below 100. If your count has been about 100 for 3-6 months, your doctor may say you can safely stop the preventative treatment.

This is the basic system so far:
CEntity class
class CEntity { public: CEntity(); virtual ~CEntity(); void addComponent(CComponent*); CComponent* getComponentbyName(string); void update(); protected: private: vector<CComponent*> components; }; CEntity::CEntity() { //ctor } CEntity::~CEntity() { //dtor } void CEntity::addComponent(CComponent* newComponent) { components.push_back(newComponent); } CComponent* CEntity::getComponentbyName(string name) { for (unsigned int i=0;i<components.size();i++) { if (name.compare(components[i]->name)==0) { return components[i]; } } return 0; } void CEntity::update() { for (unsigned int i=0;i<components.size();i++) { components[i]->update(); } }
class CComponent { public: string name; CComponent(); virtual ~CComponent(); virtual void update()=0; protected: private: };
It's not game specific right now since I was just cranking it out last night to see if it even work. The entity will also contain an Irrlicht IAnimatedMeshScene node as well.
I have a factory designed that'll let me create entities based on a name you provide where it'll then proceed to load an external script informing it what components the entity will need. There is also a function that'll create it based on it's node. This is mostly so I can use my level editor which lets me give nodes names. The function takes the node and extracts the name and precedes like the former function.
Is this idea valid or should I be looking at a different way to approach this? The code is really simple right now because I just wanted to get the basic mechanism working before I integrate it into my game engine.

What would an elemental soup cook up to?
Roald Hoffmann
If the temperature is very high, the entropy term in ΔG will steer things, so that reactions in which the entropy is increased are favored. All solids will be spontaneously converted into gases. Yes, even solid NaCl (boiling point [b.p.] = 1,413 degrees Celsius) and NaOH (b.p. 1,388 degrees Celsius). All molecular gases will decompose into atoms, a reaction with a nice positive ΔS, as translational degrees of freedom are created. And some ions will be created (for example, H ↔ H+ + e-), depending on the temperature. From a chemist's point of view, the surface or interior of a star (now that is high T!) is boring—there are no molecules there. But from a nuclear physicist's point of view, these are the greatest fun.
The low temperature limit, T approaching absolute zero, poses different problems. For then the history of the model world really, really matters. Let me explain. At very low temperatures, the atoms are not moving quickly enough to overcome in their collisions any barriers (remember the ubiquitous activation energies introduced above?). So if you take that hydrogen balloon with its mixture of H2 and O2 down to close to absolute zero, you will have to wait a very, very long time, a time approaching infinity, to get any water. Here H2 and O2 are metastable relative to H2O, perfectly happy on their own. You can see what I mean by history—at low T what you get (in a human, finite observation time) depends on whether the reactant molecules were first heated to overcome activation barriers. Or if they were not, just allowed to cool.
The high vacuum interstellar medium poses another challenge. If a rare collision between two molecules or atoms that are prone to react were to take place—say H2 + O (atomic)—the reaction to H2O being highly exothermic (by 491 kJ/mol, gas phase) the product molecule is born with a large energy. In the absence of collisions, that energy will have nowhere to go, and the reaction, exothermic, will not happen.
The surfaces of dust grains and cooled planetary objects present a special environment: high vacuum on one side, but an inert, or potentially catalytic, solid surface on the other. Low temperatures (unless there is volcanic activity)—but a long, long time. And sporadic influx of energy in the form of light. This is a wonderfully interesting set of conditions, important for the evolution of complex chemistry or life. But it isn't quite my model world.

Binghamton's Design Your Own Park Competition in the running for major international award
BINGHAMTON, NY – A collaborative project between Binghamton University, the City of Binghamton and the United Way of Broome County is in the running for the Philips Livable Cities Award and organizers are urging the community to 'bring out the vote.'
'Titled "Design Your Own Park" (DYOP) competition, the Binghamton project invites neighborhood groups to turn neglected urban spaces into community places of their own design. According to DYOP organizers, by taking the lead in designing, building, and maintaining their own parks, neighborhoods are empowered to keep the positive momentum going by taking charge of other challenging issues in their communities.
The DYOP was launched 2010 by Binghamton University's 'Binghamton Neighborhood Project,' and currently five park initiatives are underway. The goal is to eventually install parks throughout the city.
The Philips Livable Cities Award is a global competition designed to support ideas that improve the quality of life within cities. Over 450 entries were received and Binghamton's DYOP entry is one of only nine projects to have made it into the final round.
The top three entries will win cash prizes of 75,000, 25,000, and 25,000 Euros respectively. Winning entries will also be featured on CNN and highlighted on the Livable Cities Award website. The final judging will be made by an international panel of urban issues experts, who will consider a public vote as part of their decision. Voting takes place on the Livable Cities Award website.
DYOP organizers are hoping that the community will participate in the voting process to ensure that the Binghamton project finishes in the top three. They also hope that the success of the Binghamton project will encourage other communities around the world to adopt similar programs. If the project receives an award, all of the winnings will go directly to the implementation of local parks.

Create the Trends, Don't Follow Them
STEVE BLANK: Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
-Steve Jobs
Almost every month I have coffee with ex-students who want to tell me about their startup. Last week, Evan, an ex-student now a founder in an accelerator, came to see me with a startup I can only best describe as "buzzword compliant."
It had Social Media, it had Big Data, it was Mobile and on the Cloud with Analytics. As he talked I was playing "buzzword Bingo," taking a sip of coffee every time he added another popular trend. He wanted to know whether he should raise Angel money for this startup.
See what other startup mentors have to say about the top startup trends for 2013.
Evan was one of my best students, and I remembered that his passion (and degree) was in Robotics and Machine Vision so I was a bit surprised to see him doing a AFSMS (Another F–king Social Media Startup). When I reminded him of this his response was honest, "Steve, I still really want to do a robotic vehicle startup. It what I built as a kid, what I built in the labs at school, but getting funding for hardware is almost impossible. No VC will talk to me, let alone fund me for hardware.
"They all are piling money into social media. All my life I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I've been coding and building hardware since I was 12. I thought my best bet was to give up robotics and do something that checked all the boxes of being up to date with the latest Social Media trends."
I thought about this sad state of affairs for a while and asked, "Evan imagine you do raise money. Is your heart really going to be in this 24/7 for the next three or four years?" By the look on his face it was clear he never had gave it much thought.
Startups are painful, stressful and at times demoralizing. You need to be a true believer in the vision of what you are doing. You need to passionate about it and love what you're doing.
"If you don't, there is no way you can sustain the hours, stress and disappointment. There's no way you're going to be able to convince investors, customers and most importantly recruit a world-class team if you not building something you think is going to change the world."
"Right now you're just going along with the herd. You might as well just go 'baa' like the rest of the sheep. You're about to live your life to satisfy other people. That's unsustainable. Do you want to wake up ten years from now having tried to execute someone else's checklist?"
"But what about all the hot trends that I read about?"
I took a deep breath and said, "Even as my student you've had ideas that had the potential to change existing industries. But so far you don't seem to believe in yourself. My advice? Stop reading what trend everyone else is doing and figure out how to pursue your passion.
"And if you can't, go to work for someone else who is. Then when you're ready to lead others will follow."

Exhibition showcases students' international photos
Posted March 5, 2009; 12:35 p.m.
"International Eye," an exhibition of photographs from across the globe taken by Princeton undergraduates, will be on view in three residential colleges this spring. The display showcases students' participation in international study, internships, service and research.
The exhibition was created through an international photo contest sponsored by the Office of International Programs this past fall. Thirty-nine photographs were selected from close to 500 submissions taken in 64 countries by students concentrating in 25 departments. Many of the experiences depicted in the photos were funded by Princeton programs and departments.
"Over the past several years, Princeton has seen an increase in the number of students studying and working abroad," said Nancy Kanach, senior associate dean of the college and director of the Office of International Programs. "We are excited to have this opportunity to celebrate the talents of the students whose photographs bring home to us the richness and diversity of the world beyond Princeton's gates. We are inspired by their sense of adventure and by their perspective on the world."
Undergraduates were asked to submit photos that told a story about their time abroad or lent a fresh perspective on the monuments, cityscapes and landscapes they encountered. First and second prizes were awarded in four categories: cityscape/architecture; abstraction; landscape/nature; and people. Another 31 images received honorable mention.
Photographer Andrew Moore, lecturer in visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts, selected the winning photographs with assistance from Giorgio DiMauro, associate director of the Study Abroad Program, and Martina Anderson, communications and outreach coordinator in the Office of International Programs.
"Selecting the winners was difficult, but it was fun and genuinely interesting," said DiMauro. "You get caught up in the students' evident excitement and curiosity. The contest invites students to think about other countries not as destinations, but as places of shared human experience. A person's hand on a ferry in Vietnam, a richly patterned ceiling in Poland -- these scenes communicate the mixture of day-to-day familiarity and wonder that comes with spending extended periods exploring new places."
The exhibition will be on view weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through March 31 in the Firestone Lounge in Rockefeller College. (A companion exhibition of photos taken by Mathey College students while abroad will hang in the Mathey Common Room during the same time.) The display will be on view in April in the Wilcox Hall Commons in Wilson College and in May in the Guggenheim Gallery in Whitman College. An online version of the exhibition is available.

Roche 454 Sequencing Systems helps in IRON-II study of hematological malignancies
Singapore: A large-scale study called IRON-II has been conducted by a consortium of 26 laboratories from 13 countries in Europe and Asia to perform comprehensive analysis of 74 genes in individuals suffering from various types of leukemia by using Roche's next generation 454 Sequencing Systems.
The study aims to characterize selected genes in individuals with a wide range of hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).
The results from over 4,000 cases demonstrate that the highly advanced technology from Roche supports the comprehensive molecular characterization of hematological malignancies with high sensitivity and specificity, with the future prospect of guiding more personalized treatment decisions. Earlier this year, Roche launched a set of sequence-based primer sets co-developed with the MLL for deep genetic variation detection in the TET2, CBL, KRAS, and RUNX1 genes using the GS FLX and GS Junior Systems.
Dr Alexander Kohlmann, head, Next Generation Sequencing Group, said that, "We are particularly pleased with the performance of the Roche assays in combination with the high quality long read length of the 454 Sequencing Systems. This is the only technology that allows us to resolve complex variations in genes such as RUNX1 or CEBPA and enables us to address questions such as landmark analyses in various mutated genes in hematological malignancies and the development of future prognostic models."
"One key aspect of the IRON-II study is that we now achieved to standardize gene content via amplicon-based deep-sequencing assays across hematological expert laboratories, including the bioinformatic analysis approaches," he added.

Montreal -
After hearing about Monday's fatal dog attack on a helpless infant in a small Quebec community, Montreal-area veterinarian Amanda Glue found herself thinking about a conference on animal behaviour she attended six years ago.
The conference topic: Would you leave a child alone with your family dog?
About 80 per cent of the veterinarians in attendance raised their hands to signal that they would. Then, Glue said, they were treated to a slide show with more than 100 horrific images, the human carnage from dog bites and maulings.
Many of the dogs had belonged to veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
"It was a visual 'oh my God,' moment," said Glue, a veterinarian at the Hudson Veterinary Hospital who also teaches at Vanier College.
"I think I had let my own guard down," she added, saying that she altered her own behaviour after that conference, crating her dogs rather than leaving them unsupervised in the presence of her own children. Even for a few brief moments.
The reasons became abundantly clear this week with the death of a three-week old baby girl mauled by one or two huskies when left briefly unattended by her young mother in a house in St-Barnabe-Sud, a small community about 60 kilometres north of Montreal.
While it has become commonplace to give dogs people names like Jack or Bill, deck them out in designer duds and treat them as part of the family, the bottom line is that a dog is a dog. Children should never be left unsupervised with one, no matter what its size or breed, animal behaviour experts caution.
Some animal adoption agencies will not place a dog in a home with young children for this very reason.
Children under 10 often lack the maturity to see when this natural instinct has been triggered. A dog's stiffened posture, forward lean and straight tail are all giveaway signs to an adult.
But they can be missed by a child.
In addition, that very prey drive can be triggered by a child's rambunctious and unpredictable behaviour, or an infant's flailing arms and cooing sounds.
Of the 25 fatal dog attacks in Canada between 1990 and 2007, 85 per cent involved children under the age of 12, said Enid Stiles, a veterinary behaviourist at Montreal's Sherwood Park Animal Hospital. The median age of those victims was five, she said.
Caution must be exercised when young children and infants are around dogs, especially strange dogs, said Stiles.
"We know that any dog -even the most kind sweet dog - can bite," she said. But "if we are there to supervise," those situations can be prevented.
Fatal dog attacks are not common and the circumstances around this week's tragedy involving an infant are "extremely rare," she said.
Stiles said she also worries many dog owners with young children will become fearful that their animals cannot be trusted or think they have to give up their pet dogs, especially if they are huskies.
Dogs that are socialized, fed well and supervised by a caring adult make wonderful pets that teach children about responsibility and companionship and, Stiles said, parents must not lose sight of that fact.
Education is the key, said Michel Gosselin, a veterinarian at the DMV Veterinary Centre in Lachine, Que.
Dogs lack the ability to see the full range of human behaviour as belonging to the same non-threatening, non-prey species.
"To a dog, an infant, a child, an adult, an old person, a woman, a man, they are all different beasts," Gosselin said. "Even race can change a dog's perception."
Rather than placing the onus on dogs to stop being dogs, Gaby Popper, a Montreal-area animal trainer said the responsibility lies with dog owners, who he says are all too often foolhardy.
"You shouldn't leave a three-year-old unattended period . . . Never mind unattended with a dog," Popper said. "You don't trust a child's judgment about anything else. Why should we trust them to be alone with a dog?"

Rocky Mountain National Park abounds in geologic features that may be of concern for park planning, public safety, or resource protection. Geologic features (or landforms) and processes have scientific and aesthetic significance, as well as continually affecting human beings and other living things. These features and processes may not be readily apparent on the park's geologic map.
Colorado River
Columnar Jointing
Exfoliation Domes and Ornate Erosion Features
Fractures that form in response to the removal of overlying rock may be quite prominent, in which case they often result in "sheeting" and sometimes form bizarre landforms. Helped along by frost action, sheeting produced the Keyhole on the popular route to the summit of Longs Peak.
Over millions of years, wind erosion and freeze- thaw action have sculpted the rocks in the park into many ornate forms. On Lumpy Ridge, for example, fantastically shaped rocks include balanced rock and clusters of oddly shaped boulders, such as "hen and chicks."
Glacial Features
Glacial Erratics
Glacial Polish, Striations, and Grooves
Glacial Till and Moraines
Lateral moraines form on the sides of glaciers and merge with an end or terminal moraine, an arc- like ridge that forms at the terminus of glaciers. Excellent examples of lateral moraines are on the north and south sides of Moraine Park. The south lateral moraine is nearly 1,000 feet (305 m) high. An end (terminal) moraine forms when ice stabilizes for a time prior to retreat. An end moraine may dam meltwater to create a lake on its upvalley side. Moraine Park Museum sits on an end moraine, which also happens to be the terminal moraine, and represents the furthest point of glacial advance. A good viewing point of moraines is Many Parks Curve.
Hanging Valleys
Horns, Arêtes, and Cols
Outwash Deposits, Kettles, and Kettle Ponds
Roches Moutonnées
U-shaped Valleys
Braddock and Cole (1990) identified 34 snow banks and ice masses in the vicinity of Rocky Mountain National Park. These include the snow and ice bodies shown on 1:24,000- scale topographic maps published between 1957 and 1962. Fourteen of the ice masses have been named: Rowe Glacier (between Rowe Peak and Hagues Peak), Sprague Glacier (at Irene Lake in Spruce Canyon), Tyndall Glacier (at the head of Tyndall Creek), Andrews Glacier (east of Andrews Pass), Taylor Glacier (at the head of Icy Brook), Chiefs Head Peak Glacier (above Frozen Lake), Mills Glacier (on the east side of Longs Peak), Moomaw Glacier (south of The Cleaver), and the six St. Vrain Glaciers (outside of the park at the head of Middle St. Vrain Creek).
All but one of these snow banks or ice masses are on the east side of the Continental Divide; the exception is the mass above Murphy Lake (near Snowdrift Peak). All but one occur at the heads of cirques: north- , northeast- , or east- facing; the exception is the large snowbank northeast of Rowe Mountain, which is in a northeastfacing gully. Some of the ice masses, such as Andrews Glacier, are actively moving and can be considered actual glaciers; others are stagnant. Over long periods of time, it is not known whether these masses are growing or shrinking (Braddock and Cole, 1990).
Rock Glaciers
Rock glaciers of an entirely different character occur beneath steep valley walls, where they are supplied with debris from avalanche couloirs. Interstitial ice, responsible for the movement of the "valley- wall" rock glaciers, probably results from the metamorphism of snow buried beneath rockfall debris or supplied by winter avalanching (Outcalt and Benedict, 1965). Geologists also refer to this type of rock glacier as a lobate- shaped rock glacier (Madole, 1972).
In Rocky Mountain National Park, rock glaciers either accumulate at heads of cirques and flow down the length of the main valley or accumulate along the sides of valleys and flow outward toward the center. Rock glaciers are abundant on both sides of the Continental Divide and both sides of the Never Summer Mountains, and have flowed down slopes that face all compass directions (Braddock and Cole, 1990). Rock glaciers occur on Ships Prow, Pagoda Mountain, and Storm Peak on the east side of the park, and near Azure, Julian, and Hayden lakes on the west side of the park (Braddock and Cole, 1990).
A number of small pothole ponds, formed by weathering of exposed bedrock, lie among the granite outcrops along Lumpy Ridge. The largest of these is Gem Lake, a rain- fed pond with no inlet or outlet (Emerick, 1995).
Ponds and lakes are among the most temporary features of the landscape. Though they may seem long- lived in terms of human generations, lakes gradually fill with sediment and become shallower and smaller (Emerick, 1995).
Meandering Streams
Meandering streams are typical of streams in the park because gradients are low behind the Pleistocene moraine dams. In many cases, meandering streams represent lake floors of past glacial lakes or outwash deposits. Good examples of meandering streams are in the area surrounding the Bowen- Baker Trailhead, where the Colorado River meanders across the valley, and Horseshoe Park. Horseshoe Park earned its name through this geomorphic process: loops in the meandering stream that have been cut off and left behind as isolated sections, resemble horseshoes.
Patterned Ground
Large angular blocks of rock in an accumulation known as felsenmeer (German for "rock sea") are a conspicuous display of frost action above treeline. People have also described them as "tombstone rocks" (Kiver and Harris, 1999). A popular stopping point along Trail Ridge Road is Rock Cut. Tundra Communities Trail leading from the road provides easy access through felsenmeer and patterned ground.
The term solifluction implies the presence of permafrost. Permafrost (i.e., permanently frozen ground) has no doubt existed over most of the alpine zone in the past, but it is discontinuous today (Rich Madole, written communication, 2003).
During the summer season in the high country, water is unable to percolate into an impervious layer of frozen ground below the surface. As a result an "active layer" of soil becomes supersaturated and flows. Flowage can occur on slopes as gentle as two or three degrees. Where there is a well- developed mat of vegetation, a sheet may move downward in a series of well- defined lobes and form terrace- like features. Features formed by soil flowage appear as wavy slopes and are quite prominent along Trail Ridge Road, for example, between Forest Canyon Overlook and Rock Cut.
Uplifted Erosion Surface
Since the erosion surface was first recognized and reported (Marvine, 1874), it has caught the attention of geologists and visitors alike, but not without controversy. Questions still remain regarding: (1) the number of surfaces—investigators have recognized as few as one to as many as 11 surfaces; (2) the age—early or late Tertiary, that is 5 million or 50 million years old; and (3) the genesis—peneplain (forming at low elevations and with low river gradients) vs. pediment (forming under arid conditions along mountain fronts or plateaus).
Geologists have paid so much attention to erosion
surfaces because of the structural implications. For
decades, geologists used erosion surfaces as a clue to the
post- Laramide deformational history of the middle and
southern Rocky Mountains. Because peneplains were
believed to form at low elevations and with low river
gradients, substantial uplift was required to bring them to
their present elevations. Using this kind of evidence,
investigators estimated late Cenozoic uplift to between
5,000 and 9,000 feet (1,524 and 2,743 m) (Davis, 1911;
Chamberlain, 1919). Reclassifying peneplains as
pediments greatly reduced the amount of uplift required
(Johnson, 1931, 1932; Mackin, 1947). Uplift was then
estimated from displaced flora and fauna, for example
The most recent theory regarding erosion surfaces identifies one major subsummit (lower) surface and a second (higher) summit surface. The lower surface formed in late Tertiary time when conditions were arid to semi- arid, classifying it as a pediment. The higher surface is much less extensive than the lower subsummit surface. Studies have concentrated on the lower erosion surface that has been called "Rocky Mountain," "Sherman," "Late Eocene," and "Subsummit," which leaves the full significance of the higher surface, which has been called "Flattop" and "Summit," inconclusive (Bradley, 1987). Terra Tomah Mountain, Flattop Mountain, and Longs Peak are all part of the higher summit surface.

Almost everyone I know has a closet full of board games. I seem to have immersed myself in groups of game-playing friends for so long that I'm always surprised to find out when a friend owns hardly a single game. And then it's usually Monopoly or The Game of Life. Perhaps Scrabble if I'm lucky. Sometimes it takes people a while to get into tabletop gaming, once they realize they might enjoy it, but getting them into it through their kids is a great way to speed things up. Here are some games that might help.
Gamewright is a game publisher that makes a wide variety of fun tabletop games for all members of your family. They publish some of my family's favorites, including Rory's Story Cubes, GUBS, Tiki Topple, and City Square Off. They also make the much-celebrated Forbidden Island. Gamewright has sent me a variety of their new games to review, and here I profile a few of them.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: The Curious Matter of the Calamitous Creek
To be fair, I'd known Stoltz's play from the start. When the gobbler hadn't hammered back at every series of calls, Stoltz had toned down his yelping, calling softly and sparingly during the two-hour hunt. After that, there would be no forcing the action. We'd wait.
Surprisingly, when the gobbler finally got serious, we didn't wait long. After an extended period of silence, the bird gobbled about 10 steps closer to us. And then he gobbled even closer. Minutes later, I heard the distinct "thump" of a heavy body landing on our side of the creek. When the white head poked up over a small rise 30 steps away, the shot string was there immediately.
Stoltz and I shook hands over the heavy longbeard, and I congratulated him on playing the bird perfectly.
"Well, it might not have been exciting, but it was effective," he said.
Shoot. Creek-hopping gobblers in northern Missouri? I thought it was pretty exciting.
What decision did you make?

Negotiations Update
Wilfrid Laurier University and faculty association approve new contract
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 16/12| For Immediate Release
Deborah MacLatchy, Vice-President, Academic & Provost
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University is pleased to announce that a new contract has been approved by the universitys Board of Governors and ratified by members of the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA).
I would like to recognize the time and effort put forth by all parties in reaching this settlement, said Max Blouw, president and vice-chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University. Together we achieved a fair and responsible agreement that is in line with other settlements in the university sector and balances the need for competitive compensation with the very serious financial challenges faced by Laurier and other universities in Ontario.
The three-year agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2011 and expires June 30, 2014.
Highlights include:
General salary increases of:
- 2 per cent retroactive to July 1, 2011
- 2 per cent on July 1, 2012
- 2 per cent on July 1, 2013
- Targeted Ontario system salary adjustments to bring faculty members closer to the provincial average
Pension reform:
- The pension agreement is the same agreement that was accepted by Lauriers staff association. Members contributions increase to 7.5 per cent from 7 per cent, and increase to 9 per cent for earnings above Years Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE). The university would continue to contribute 7 per cent to each employees individual Money Purchase Account. The universitys overall contribution to the pension plan is currently more than 16 per cent and is expected to rise to more than 20 per cent in 2013.
The Executive and Governance committee of the Board of Governors met March 8 and approved the agreement on behalf of the board, subject to WLUFA approval. Members of WLUFA ratified the agreement on March 16, 2012.

Another day focused on Cyprus ended with its parliament unable to muster a vote supporting bank deposit taxes, but the ECB said it will provide liquidity and presumably save the country from near-term default.
Numerologists take note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average struggled higher, up 3.76 points, or 0.03%, to 14,455.82. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell as many points in the other direction, down 3.76 points, or 0.24%, to 1548.34. The Nasdaq Composite, declined 8.50 points, or 0.26%, to 3229.10.
Boeing (BA) shares rose 0.39% after Ryanair said it could order 200 more 737s. Cowen said in a research note that the
"787 battery fix looks on track" meaning "787 deliveries could resume by June 30." Those positives outweigh concerns about demand for another plane, the 747-8, "offering 15% upside relative to the market in 12 months."
Natural gas for April delivery settled at a new high for the year, gaining 8.7 cents per million British thermal units, or 2.24% to $3.97. But shares of Chesapeake Energy (CHK), downgraded by Sterne Agee Tuesday, fell more than 5%. Other gas-rich exploration companies dropped too: Canada's Encana (ECA) fell 1.45%, while Devon Energy (DVN) fell 1.2%.
Coal producer Peabody Energy (BTU) fell nearly 4%.
Crude oil for April delivery lost $1.58 per barrel, or 1.69%, to $92.16, ending a three day winning streak. The global Brent benchmark lost $2.06 per barrel, or 1.88%, to $107.45, a new settle low for 2013.
Evening reading: Cypriot Christopher Pissarides, who won a Nobel Prize in economics in 2010, opposes a Cyprus bank deposit tax, emphasizing that deposits under 100,000 euros were to be insured. See Bloomberg Businessweek's lively Q&A with Pissarides.

Williamson memorial service set for Oct. 5
Posted September 29, 2008; 06:26 p.m.
A memorial service for Joseph Williamson, former dean of religious life and the chapel who died in June, is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, in the University Chapel.
The service, led by current and former members of the chapel staff, is open to members of the University community and the public.
Williamson, a compassionate author, scholar and preacher, died of heart failure in Baltimore on June 7 after a prolonged battle against Alzheimer's disease. He was 75.
Williamson served at Princeton from 1989 to 2001. He previously was a pastor and co-pastor at the federated Presbyterian and Congregationalist Church of the Covenant in Boston and a pastor at the Plymouth Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, in Seattle. He also was a faculty member at Boston University from 1973 to 1983.
In 2000, the Association of College and University Religious Affairs presented Williamson and two others with the organization's first lifetime achievement award. The honor recognized the long and distinguished leadership and service Williamson demonstrated in higher education. Williamson "profoundly deepened the humanity and extended the hospitality" of Princeton, the association said. He "developed a kind of collegiality with faculty and students that has led to productive synergy, great programs and worthy risks."
Memorial contributions may be made in Williamson's name to the Alzheimer's Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Floor 17, Chicago, IL 60601-7633.
