Hey all,
My names Chris (hopefully u picked up on that) I'm originally from Napa, CA but since having joined the army I'm currently living in copperas cove, tx (fort hood). Before moving here I was stationed in Hawaii ( really broke my heart leaving there lol). I have just recently purchased my first black lab and he is currently being trained by a friends dad up in Kentucky. I cannot wait to get him back. Ill be heading up to the grand in texarcana to see him.
I joined so I can start learning to train. I've been looking around at programs to follow and have been recommend by a handful to follow the smart works regime. Uncle Sam doesn't pay that much so still saving up to purchase that. I want to be able to keep his training going once I get him back this winter and hopefully get him into some hunt tests.
I can't wait to learn a lot and maybe get some advice a long the way...

Cubing: Audiovisual performance, 60 minutes.
©2006 burton + roy
The Cubing audiovisual performance explores performative gestures through the relationship between colour and sound. The manipulation of simple Rubik's® cubes under video cameras sets off a chain of introspective synthesis and digital treatment. In this setup, the cube is an intuitively and precisely controllable audiovisual instrument.
The correspondence between the interpreter's gestures and the subsequent sound framework is presented to the public using videographic representation of the analytical and controlling process. The sound of each cube is given a specific acoustic presence through the use of traditional guitar or bass amplifiers. By putting the computer away from the musician, and providing the audience with a transparent, exposed and identifiable interface, artificiel manages to establish a genuine musical relationship between performer, instrument and audience.

Story: A girl named Yumiko transfers to Juusei Academy and finds very accepting people except for one guy, Nakajima, who treats here like dirt and seems to have a large amount of power, given the students and even teachers scrape and bow to him. Later that night, Yumiko spies on Nakajima and finds, to her horror, Nakajima is trying to summon a demon by the name of Loki through his computer. Eventually Loki is able to be fully summoned out of the computer and turns on Nakajima, almost killing him and Yumiko. Through a brief series of events, Yumiko and Nakajima break free and eventually end up killing... See full review
Story: The idea behind this story is a neat twist on the generally bland ecchi and harem genre. A boy named Tsukune Aono becomes enrolled on accident to Youkai Academy, a school for monsters! Tsukune is just your average boy with nothing going for him, typical of this genre, but he soon finds himself in a very unusual situation. He first meets a girl with pink hair, Moka, who he very quickly finds is a vampire, but she also harbors a secret identity within. There is a rosary around her neck, that when taken off, she becomes a super powerful vampire. Through the rest of the series, he makes friends... See full review
Story: This was an interesting anime, to say the least. This story had about three different plots going on at the same time, making it hard to follow which story is being told when, and for what purpose. The "main" story that is trying to be told is of two brothers, Hyoi and Ryoi, who infiltrate a school in order to find a source of evil behind the disappearances of random people. Very quickly these brothers find the mastermind behind the disappearances, a man named Jukokubo. Hyoi and Ryoi also encounter some monsters that look like blobs with tentacles, but later find out it is the evil... See full review
Story: This story is done in a non-typical fashion. This is a story about six different women who are dealing with situations that are not outside the realm of occurrences that could happen to anyone. This anime takes each woman, except one, and dedicates two episodes to their brief daily story. Each story starts by showing that woman within her everyday life, and by the end of the first episode, shows one major conflict in their life. The second episode picks up where the previous left off and continues to show what each woman finds as a solution to their conflict, tying up each story nicely. The... See full review
Story: This story starts like many of the same genre, with demons escaping from an Underworld and possessing people and objects alike to kill people and take over the human plane of existence. There is one main character, a man not from the human plane, on a mission to destroy these demons. The leader Enma is a red-headed man who is constantly draped in a black cape, a black hat that is similar to a witch's hat, and uses a staff that produces fire. Though he is considered the "main character", his other companions play big parts too. There is Enma's witch hat, Shapoji, who can talk and... See full review
One name: Mamoru Oshii. Between directing and creating, the man who brought about such great animes as Blood+, Ghost in the Shell, and Urusei Yatsura, this was one title I could not pass up. I went into Angel's Egg expecting something very thought-provoking and, to say the least, was blown away by the depth this anime delved. To state bluntly, those who do not enjoy philosophical thought or anime with little dialogue may want to stop reading now and move on to something else. For those still interested, please read on. Story: Within the first five minutes, in between the interesting... See full review

Austin Rose was a sixth grader when Tupelo won its first of five consecutive state championships in high school boys golf.
Rose, a junior, doesn't want to be on the Golden Wave team that doesn't win a state title.
"You definitely think about it," Rose said earlier this week during a break at practice. "You don't want to let it go."
Tupelo will have an advantage in its quest for a sixth championship as its hosts the MHSAA Class 6A tournament at the Tupelo Country Club.
Rose is one of three starters returning from the 2012 champion-ship squad. He is joined by junior Hayden Buckley, who recorded the team's low score last year at the state meet in Hattiesburg, and sophomore Blake Harris, who has returned from an offseason ankle injury.
"Blake is coming off rehabing his injury, so we're being patient with him. I feel good about him," coach Mark Enis said. "Austin and Hayden are playing well, but they're not as consistent as they want to be.
"A lot of that has to do with the weather. Once it warms up, you'll see more consistency from all three of these guys."
Miles Johnson, a junior, is No. 4 in the lineup. Three players – sophomore Kirk Reeder and juniors Drew Fandel and Daniel Purnell – are battling for the No. 5 position.
Enis will know a lot more about his team after an April 2-3 tournament at the Country Club of Jackson. The event will feature some of the top teams from three states, including Alabama and Louisiana.
Harris broke three bones and tore ligaments his right ankle in a freak golf cart accident in August. The injury required surgery.
He began playing golf on a limited basis, with pain, in December. A left-hander, his right ankle is the one that rolls on a shot.
"It pops about every time I take a swing," said Harris, who wears an ankle brace. "It hurts on certain lies – downhill and side. It's better. I've got to trust it more."
While his progress has been slow – it took him eight rounds to break 40 – Harris expects to on top of his game by May.
"I'll be there by the state tournament and the summer … full force," he said.

Billboards May "Light Up" Culver City
But Can You See Them From Space Station?
July 10, 2014
By Stephen Hadland
Observer Publisher
New digital billboards one of the busiest stretches of freeway in the nation, due to a proposal being considered by Culver City.
The proposal presented to Culver City several weeks ago calls for a full-size, double-sided digital billboard on the west side of the 405 Freeway where it crosses Sepulveda Blvd. Another full-size, single-sided digital billboard would be placed at the heavily-trafficked intersection of Sepulveda Blvd. and Centinela Ave. just a short distance from the freeway and visible to motorists on the freeway that carries some 300,000 vehicles per day with ads that change faster than your head can spin remain turned off by court order. Clear Channel and CBS Outdoor, the two companies that own those billboards, have been pressuring smaller cities like Culver City to allow digital billboards in their jurisdictions.
The city council appears to be lukewarm on the proposal requiring those proposing the billboards pay to cost of a fully study and the cost of analysing the study. The cost is estimated to be in the $400,000 range.
According to Dennis Hathaway, President of the Ban Billboard Blight coalition said the proposal put forward by The Carlyle Group, a multi-billion dollar company that owns commercial properties in the area including The Doubletree By Hilton Hotel, also calls for a double-sided digital billboard on Centinela Ave. about one-quarter mile west of the freeway, two double sided static billboards nearby on the same street, and a wall sign of undisclosed size on the side of an 11-story hotel adjacent to and facing the freeway. The area immediately to the west of Centinela Ave. is in the city of LA, including a residential neighbourhood in Westchester on the overlooking bluff.
According to the proposal, the billboards are operated by CBS Outdoor and would be expected to generate "in excess of $420,000 for the city in annual revenue." The proposal calls for an "overlay zone" in the area that would allow other landowners along the freeway corridor to propose similar signage.
The proposal notes that Culver City previously approved static billboards on the east side of the 405 freeway on the property of the Westfield shopping mall.
Trees have mysteriously disappeared near freeway billboard locations throughout Los Angeles County.
The group known as Ban Billboard Blight coalition has become the watchdog group over the proliferation of billboards. Their website is http://www.banbillboardblight.org.

When it comes to teeth, it seems like we always hear about the foods we shouldn't eat or the beverages we shouldn't drink because they cause cavities. But are there foods and drinks that could actually prevent tooth decay and cavities. Turns out the answer is Yes, as you'll read in this guest post from Jon Engle.
There is more to healthy teeth than just brushing and flossing. For optimal dental health and general wellbeing, it is important to eat the right foods for your teeth. While cavities and gum disease aren't regarded as life threatening illnesses, more studies are finding that dental health is related to other health outcomes such as heart disease, mental illness, and neurological disorders. In addition to regular dentist appointments and proper at home care, make sure you are getting enough of the following foods for the prevention of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and to increase your overall health and wellbeing.
- Cheese. Cheese is high in calcium and phosphate, both of which promote dental health by balancing the pH levels in your mouth and neutralizing acid. These minerals also preserve tooth enamel and kill cavity causing bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends dairy foods as part of a balanced diet for dental health because of their low acidity and high calcium content.
- Chili Peppers. This might come as a surprise, but red and green chili peppers are high in Vitamin C (they contain even more Vitamin C than oranges and other citrus fruits). Vitamin C helps gums stay healthy. A Vitamin C deficiency can cause bleeding gums and gum disease. Researchers at University of Miami also found that Vitamin C can decrease recovery time after dental surgery and maintain the integrity of connective tissue in your gums.
- Carrots. Vitamin A, which is found in carrots is essential for healthy tooth enamel. Carrots are also crunchy, which dental health professionals say helps to clean gums and strengthen teeth. The high fiber content present in carrots increases the production and flow of saliva.
- Tea. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants which can reduce plaque and protect your from cavities, and gum disease. Green tea has also been demonstrated to eliminate bad breath and strengthen the tooth enamel because of its high fluoride content.
- Garlic. In addition to reducing inflammation in gums, onions also contain antibacterial sulfur compounds (called allicin). Allicin has been shown to increase your immune system and kill harmful bacteria in the mouth. The health benefits of garlic increase when you eat garlic raw instead of cooking it.
- Water. In addition to facilitating saliva production, water also helps to hydrate your gums. Many dentists recommend drinking tap water for dental health because of the added fluoride. Fluoride is a primary protector against dental cavities. Fluoride makes the surface of teeth more resistant to acids during the process of remineralisation (i.e., when minerals are returned to the teeth). Water also washes away food particles that get caught in your teeth and gums.
- Eggs. Eggs contain both phosphorus and calcium. It is important to consume calcium with phosphate, otherwise it won't absorb properly. This is why eggs are a better choice than calcium supplements for dental health. Eggs contain ratios of phosphate and calcium that are comparable to the ratios that are present in teeth. Eggs also contain Vitamin K2, which is abundant in egg yolk helps prevent tooth decay by regulating calcium.
- Fish. Vitamin D is essential for dental health and it is found in many types of fish, such as sock-eye salmon, tuna fish, herring, or cod oil (if you can handle it). You don't need much fish, as approximately 90 percent of the RDA value is found in a single 3.5 ounce serving. Vitamin D produces a polypeptide called cathelicidin, which fights bacteria found in your mouth. For an added Vitamin D boost, put some shitake mushrooms on your fish.

"China's Rise in an Era of Climate Change" is the title of a talk to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3, in 309 Frist Campus Center.
Andrew Kennedy, a postdoctoral research associate with the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program (CWP), will discuss new work he has undertaken this year as a CWP fellow comparing China's and India's approaches to climate change and energy security.
The event is sponsored by the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

I thought I heard it all from the Obongos Administration until I heard 3 Navy Seals are up on charges for using excessive force in capturing a known Terrorist Leader.
Standby folks, they'll be plenty more absurdity coming from this group of Anti - Americans before they are through.
I wonder if anyone in the Obongo inner circle ever served. It makes me sick to my stomach seeing Obongo salute military personnel.

No ROTS in my area, either, but they did show up in northern Kentucky. That's the closest to me. Hey, just one more week to wait, right?
Lot of empty pegs where I went this weekend.
Kmart is now carrying Unleashed. They're $17, but at least it's one more outlet for this fine product. Also saw the cantina set #2 on clearance for $17. I'll keep my eye on that, too.

F, J, M, Z to Delancey Street-Essex Street; B, D, Q to Grand Street
Some things can only happen in New York: people coming together from different walks of life, a humble worker becoming a living legend. Here, some things always go together: pizza and subways, street hustlers and chess. And here, one person's decay is another person's garden, one's junk is another's gold. This program is a salutation to everyone who hustles to "make it right," a celebration of those who make the most of every nook and cranny and opportunity, and an unsentimental memorialization of all the people and places, present and past, that make New York the most amazing city in the world.

The Desperadoes Steel Orchestra emerged from the fusion of three different Steelbands from Laventille in Trinidad. The name of the group was chosen from the movie Desperadoes starring Glenn Ford which was shown in Port of Spain at the time. Despers were led by Rudolph Charles since 1961 until his death in 1985. Charles invited several pantuners like Bertie Marshall and Lincoln Noel to create the best possible orchestral effects. The orchestra has worldwide appearances and has performed at The Royal Albert Hall in 1972, Carnegie Hall in 1987, and along with the classical singer Luciano Pavarotti in Barbados in 1996. Mr.Raymond "Artie" Shaw was the first musician to conduct Desperadoes Steel Orchestra at their performance for Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Dr. Pat Bishop conducted their performance at Carnegie Hall in NYC. Desperadoes have also toured some of Trinidad & Tobago's motherlands, such as Africa, India, China, England and Grenada. Desperadoes has qualified for the most Panorama finals,45 of 49, was a finalist for 36 consecutive years 1976 through 2011, has the highest winning percentage(1)victory every 4.9 years, has won every entered competition, and has a total of 24 combined victories, from 1965 to 2011. Desperadoes is the only Steel Orchestra where consistency has been maintained over the last 50 years, hence the term, finest Steel Orchestra ever.

Stylish Lucky Stars
My gobsmackingly awesome niece is due to turn eighteen next month and I've been wondering what to gift her for a while. I know I wanted to make her something, but I was unsure exactly what I could do. My boys were sitting down watching Sleeping Beauty, I was half listening as the fairy godmothers were blessing Aurora when it suddenly clicked, my niece needs to begin her adult life with a Fairy Godmother, and that's exactly what I made her.
In a jar.
Within each of those stars are a blessing for her life as an adult, there are eighteen stars, and they cover everything from job interview success to never dating idiots, some are funny (May your armpits always remain miraculously hair free during the summer months) and some are serious (May you and those around you always know your worth), each star is a blessing, and she can either chose to leave them as is within their jar, or open them up and see everything that I wish for her. These are great for milestone birthdays (or anniversaries) but I think would be especially awesome for a baby shower, with each attendee writing a blessing, and the resulting stars being displayed in a jar in the nursery.
You Will Need
Coloured paper. I've used a pad of scrapbook paper, but coloured printer paper is fine. DO NOT use scrapbooking card, the stars will not be able to be smushed into shape when it comes to the final step.
A rotary cutter, ruler and mat.
Full tutorial after the jump…
1. Cut your paper into 1.5cmx 30cm strips. When cutting from a pad of scrapbook paper I like to insert my cutting mat between the sheets. This way I don't have to pull them out and risk losing what's left over or it getting crumpled.
2. Write your blessings inside each of the strips making sure to leave an couple of centimetres clearance at each end.
3. Tie a knot in the strip, near one end, press the folds.
4. Tuck the flap on the bottom of the pentagon into the envelope of paper above it. Tear or cut some off if it's too long (that's why you leave some space before and after the writing).
5. Fold the long strip around the pentagon, keep on wrapping until you near the end.
6. Tuck that flap into the star, again, cut any excess off if it doesn't fit.
7. Pinch the edges of the pentagons together to form the points of the star. This should cause it to puff up and become three dimensional.
And you're done! It's likely to take a few tries to perfect it, but once you've got it you can make these with your eyes shut. It took me about fifteen minutes to make the eighteen stars I needed.

Princeton Experience survey
Posted March 7, 2001; 12:34 a.m.
An online student survey is now being conducted to solicit views and ideas for improving the campus climate.
The Princeton Experience survey is the culmination of the first phase of an assessment effort that started in June 1999 and has included focus groups and discussions with faculty and staff. It is being spearheaded by Janet Smith Dickerson, vice president for campus life; Joann Mitchell, associate provost; Georgia Nugent, associate provost; and Karen Woodbridge, associate director of community and state affairs.
One goal of the survey is to achieve a better understanding of how the on-campus experience of its students enhances and/or diminishes the objectives of the University, Mitchell said. The survey also will provide a basis for evaluating specific policies and should suggest possible directions for changes.

Same here. I'd like to get a white jersey of his.Originally Posted by SkapePhin
Don't get me wrong - I like Wes alot But he doesn't look like he has break away speed. Some return guys look so fast that the slightest gap and they are gone. Wes is not in that category. He seems like a safe hands guy that will make the first guy miss and will always get you 5-10 yards on punts and up to the 30 on kickoffs. Nothing spectacular most of the time but reliable. Probably not a popular view here. I do think he could be a good possession slot WR though.Originally Posted by ccphinfan

PERMETHRIN (per METH rin) is used to treat head lice infestations. It acts by destroying both the lice and their eggs.
This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
an unusual or allergic reaction to permethrin, veterinary or household insecticides, other medicines, chrysanthemums, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
This medicine is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. Shampoo your hair with regular shampoo, rinse and towel dry. Do NOT use a shampoo with a conditioner. Shake well before applying. Apply enough medicine to your hair to wet the hair and scalp (usually about 2 tablespoons), and thoroughly rub the medicine into your hair and scalp. Make sure you get behind the ears and on the back of the neck. Keep this medicine away from your eyes. If you accidentally get some in your eyes, rinse your eyes with water right away. Leave on your hair for 10 minutes, unless directed otherwise by your doctor or health care professional. Then, rinse thoroughly with water. Dry with a clean towel. When your hair is dry, comb it with a fine toothed comb to remove any leftover nits (eggs) or nit shells. If you still have lice after one week, see your doctor or health care professional. You may need a second treatment. If you are applying this medicine to another person, wear plastic or disposable gloves to protect yourself from infestation.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this drug may be prescribed for children as young as 2 months old for selected conditions, precautions do apply.
Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
NOTE: This medicine is only for you. Do not share this medicine with others.
This does not apply.
Interactions are not expected. Do not use any other skin products on the affected area without telling your doctor or health care professional.
This list may not describe all possible interactions. Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Some items may interact with your medicine.
This medicine is used as a single application treatment. If live lice are observed 7 or more days after initial application, a second treatment may be needed.
Head lice can be spread from one person to another by direct contact with clothing, hats, scarves, bedding, towels, washcloths, hairbrushes, and combs. All members of your household should be examined for head lice and should receive treatment if they are found to be infected. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor or health care professional.
To prevent reinfection or spreading of the infection, the following steps should be taken: Machine wash all clothing, bedding, towels, and washcloths in very hot water and dry them using the hot cycle of a dryer for at least 20 minutes. Clothing or bedding that cannot be washed should be dry cleaned or sealed in an airtight plastic bag for 2 weeks. Shampoo any wigs or hairpieces. You should also wash all hairbrushes and combs in very hot soapy water (above 130 degrees F) for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not share your hairbrushes or combs with other people. Wash all toys in very hot water (above 130 degrees F) for 5 to 10 minutes or seal in an airtight plastic bag for 2 weeks. Also, clean the house or room by vacuuming furniture, rugs, and floors.
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your doctor or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
redness or mild swelling of the scalp
stinging or burning
tingling sensation
This list may not describe all possible side effects. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store at room temperature away from heat and direct light. Do not refrigerate or freeze. After treatment, throw away any unused medicine.
PERMETHRIN (per METH rin) skin cream is used to treat scabies.
This medicine is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. A bath or shower is NOT recommended before applying this medicine. Thoroughly rub the cream into all skin surfaces, from your head to the soles of your feet. It is important to apply it everywhere on your body, not just where the rash is. Apply the cream between fingers and toe creases, in the folds of the wrist and waistline, in the cleft of the buttocks, on the genitals, and in the belly button. Use a toothpick to apply the cream beneath your fingernails and toenails. Nails should be cut short. If you have little or no hair, or you are applying the cream to an infant or young child, make sure you rub the cream into the neck, scalp, hairline, temples, and forehead. Leave it on for 8 to 14 hours, then remove it by bathing and shampooing. If you are applying this medicine to another person, wear plastic or disposable gloves to protect yourself from infestation. Do not get this medicine in your eyes. If you do, rinse out with plenty of cool tap water.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this drug may be prescribed for children as young as 2 months of age for selected conditions, precautions do apply.
It is not unusual for itching and rash to continue for as long as 2 to 4 weeks after treatment. These symptoms may be a temporary reaction to the remains of the mites. This does not mean this cream did not work or that it needs to be reapplied. If you feel that the itching and rash is intense or if it continues beyond 4 weeks, talk to your doctor or health care professional right away.
Scabies is spread by direct skin contact with an infected person. Family members and sexual partners may require treatment with this medicine. You should discuss this with your doctor or health care professional.
Using a normal washing cycle, you should wash all clothing, towels and bed linen that has touched your skin. You do not need to rewash clean clothing that has not yet been worn. Coats, furniture, rugs, floors, and walls do not need to be cleaned in any special manner.
redness or mild swelling of the skin
Store at room temperature away from heat and direct light. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.

The fact that there have been few murders lately means that the prohibition on murder isn't needed. People who don't want to be killed are doing just fine without laws against murder, as evidenced by the fact that they so rarely have to be enforced; we should get rid of them for good.

Whoa, scary distopian world these cameras will cause! Let's outlaw laws too, since presumably someone could make a law that said you had to hire plumbers from the plumbers union! We should outlaw cops as well, since they might enforce a pro-plumber union stance even if it isn't encoded into law.

Follow the footsteps of Jesus in a tour of the Holy Land: walk the Via Dolorosa, visit Nazareth and wet your feet in the Sea of Galilee. A spiritual experience to remember.
From Jaffa to the Sea of Galilee
Jaffa – where St. Peter had his vision on the rooftop of the House of Simon the tanner (Acts 10:32), raised Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36); Jonah set sail to Tarshish (Jonah 1:3) and King Solomon built his port (2 Chron. 2:16) on the Mediterranean.
Caesarea – the magnificent ruins of Herod's showcase port city continue the story of St. Peter, with his conversion of Cornelius' household (Acts 10:24). Caesarea is also the scene of St. Paul's imprisonment (Acts 23:35), his appearance before King Agrippa and his departure for Rome (Acts 25:13-26:32). It figures centrally in the history of early Christianity as home to the Church father Eusebius.
The Carmelite Monastery of Mukhraka – where Elijah called down fire from Heaven (1 Kings 18:19-39). After this miracle, a great drought ended with the appearance of a small cloud over the sea (1 Kings 18:44), a pre-figuring of St. Mary.
Acre – called Ptolemais when St. Paul visited it (Acts 21:7), a gem of the medieval world, with its Knights Halls, fishermen's port, Turkish Bath Museum, bazaar and ramparts overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Possible venues for Mass: Church of St. Peter in Jaffa, Carmelite Monastery of Mukhraka; Franciscan Church in Acre.

One of the main functions of the Scoutmaster is to train the Junior Leaders, in particular, the Senior Patrol Leader. I take this responsibility serious and am in a constant mode of looking for opportunities to train the Scouts to be better leaders.
Most of the training is informal and as we find ourselves in opportune times where a lesson has presented itself. What I have found is that, first, our Scouts really don't know what they don't know, and second, they don't look for opportunities to learn and train others.
Now that is a pretty lofty statement, let me explain what I mean.. here is the training opportunity.
Teen age boys typically look for the easy way out. They find the path of least resistance, which in turn puts them in challenging leadership roles. They typically want to just get along and resist confrontation when it comes to being a leader.
Whether it is because the Scout lacks confidence or leadership skills they find themselves in situations that often times leave them feeling unsuccessful. This is where a good tool box full of good leadership tools comes in.
I had a discussion the other night with a Patrol leader. He feels like no one really wants to listen to him. So, asking a few leading questions we took a look at his leadership style and gave him tools to make it better.
First, the leader needs to understand who he is leading and why he is leading. Is it a specific task that needs to be accomplished or just general leadership within the confines of a Patrol? The leader needs to look for opportunities to be "the man". Here is what I mean by that… Leaders are not Bosses.. but leaders are the "go to" guys that people want to follow. The leader become "the Man" when he can display in his leadership the 4 "C"s.
Courage, Candor, Competence, and Compassion.
Courage. It takes Courage to be a leader, especially a leader of Scouts. You will not always make popular decisions and you may be put in situations that pit you one against another. The Leader with Courage will always do what is right and the right thing for the good of his Patrol, or Troop.
Candor. Tell it like it is. Tell the Truth and never shy away from the truth. If a member of the Patrol is acting in the wrong way or not doing a skill correctly, don't be afraid to hurt their feelings, tell the truth. We as leaders need to worry less about feeling and focus more on actions. Actions or the way we act and do things are far more important than feelings. A leader that demonstrates candor is respected and shows his good character.
Competence. No one wants to follow a leader that does not know what the heck they are doing. Following a lost leader gets the whole group lost. To build competence the leader must keep learning and testing themselves. Sharpening skills and looking inward at their decision-making. Constantly working to fill the tool box.
And Compassion. We lead people and manage equipment. Being that leader that cares about those that they lead grows confidence in the follower. When we genuinely care about making those around us better, they see it and start to build a better relationship within the team. When we care about teaching them and showing them the right way to do anything, we make them better. When we care enough to model expected behavior, those that we lead will follow and show that behavior back to us.
Taking the four "C"s and putting them to use will make the leader better and keep him focused.
The four "C"s also give the leader a simple set of standards so he can focus on what is important in his Patrol. My Patrol leader did not think that his patrol listened to him. So I asked the simple questions; What are you saying and How are you saying it? Do you come at your Patrol competent and compassionate? We discussed a missed opportunity that he had over the weekend camp out. A simple task of cooking a meal could have been a million dollar lesson to his patrol in skill and fun. That patrol was cooking venison steaks. The missed opportunity was how they cooked them. A little bit of prior planning on the Patrol leaders part could have made him "The Man".
Cooking steaks over an open fire would have made a bigger bang within the patrol, rather, they cooked on a frying pan and used up lots of cooking utensils and time. The Patrol leader missed the opportunity to get his younger Scouts involved in the process and about 10 minutes into the ordeal of cooking, he lost them.
It was a great opportunity that was lost because he took the path of least resistance.
"The Good Idea Fairy"
I have listened in on many Patrol meetings. Most Patrol meetings end in frustration when members of the Patrol do not feel that they are being listened to. Sometimes the Patrol Leader needs to let the Good Idea Fairy be heard. Jotting down an idea or two and seeing how they can be worked into the plan for the next event. Maybe cooking over the open fire came up, but was dismissed by the leader. When the leader lets those ideas happen they get buy in from those that they lead.
Always look for that Teaching Opportunity. They are always there and we as Scoutmasters need to be on top of it. Allow the situation to run its course and then sit down with the Patrol Leader or other leaders and ask those leading questions that get them thinking beyond the path of least resistance.
Scouts are looking for that challenge and they want to be challenges. They just don't know what they don't know and you know… sometimes they are afraid that we are going to say no to them or shut down their great ideas. Go with it. We need to use those four "C"s also.
If it is not unsafe, unethical, or not outside of the Scouting program.. say Yes and let them find that learning opportunity. You will be the man when you keep learning and growing in your leadership also.
Almost everything we do in Scouting will come with a teaching opportunity. Find it and share it.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Leadership – Teaching Opportunity

If your online banking and shopping password is your nickname, birthday, anniversary, or pet name, chances are somebody else knows it too. Researchers warn that online banking customers leave themselves open to fraud by using predictable passwords. More than 75 percent of 1,005 people surveyed used words that could be easily guessed.
Relying on nicknames, birthdays, memorable dates, and pet names leaves the door open to hackers. Hackers can use programs to try all the words in a dictionary when trying to find someone's password.
Keeping your password safe can be as simple as adding numbers or random letters. A research spokesman said: "It is important to choose passwords that are difficult to decipher and not easily guessed."

By The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Austin Tyler Poole has pleaded guilty to six counts of aggravated DUI involving a May of 2012 accident that left one man dead and six injured.
The Starkville Daily News reports that Poole will serve 20 years in prison.
Poole was sentenced to 25 years with five years suspended on one count. Poole was sentenced to five years on each of the other counts to run concurrent with the first count.
Authorities say 19-year-old Treasure K. Huffman was pronounced dead at the scene after Poole's SUV crashed on a county road.
Authorities say others in the car told investigators that the group had been drinking before deciding to go for a ride and the group got Poole to drive rather than Huffman, who was a designated driver.

Welcome the day with one of the most magnificent views in the world: ancient Jerusalem as seen from the top of the Mount of Olives. Allow some time to visit the various churches on the summit, among them: Pater Noster, where the prayer "Our Father" is inscribed in dozens of languages, and the Church of Ascension, marking the place where Jesus ascended to Heaven.
Take the "Palm Sunday Walk" down the Mount of Olives in the footsteps of Jesus. On the way, stop at Dominus Flevit Church (The Lord Wept), marking the site of Jesus' weeping over the city (Luke 19: 37-42). At the Garden of Gethsemane at the base of the mountain, you can spend time pondering and praying about the time Jesus spent here with his disciples before his arrest.
Enter the Old City via Lion's Gate, also known as St. Stephen's Gate to the Pools of Bethesda, where Jesus healed a paralytic (John 5: 2-9). Christian groups love to raise their voices in song at the adjacent Church of St. Anne.
Walking up through the Old City streets, your next stop can be the Sisters of Zion Convent, built over the Praetorium, where Jesus was judged by Pontius Pilate and took up the cross, marked by the Ecce Homo ("Here is the Man" - John 19:5) Arch over the street. This site marks the beginning of the Via Dolorosa, the Way of Sorrows, which tradition says Jesus went with the cross to Calvary. Today, it passes through the colorful Old City markets to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This is the site venerated by the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox world as the place of crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
The day will end with a visit to the Garden Tomb. Located 500 meters to the north of Damascus Gate, this ancient cemetery discovered approximately 130 years ago by the British General Charles Gordon has become a moving site in which to recall the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, and spend time in these peaceful garden surroundings in prayer, song, fellowship and communion.

A detailed technical description of Shim
Shim is the first stage bootloader we've been implementing for supporting Secure Boot. It's called Shim because it serves as an object to fit the gap between the Microsoft trust root and our own trust root. As originally envisaged it would do nothing other than load and execute appropriately signed binaries, but it's got a little more complicated than that now. It is, however, basically feature complete at this point - I don't expect it to grow significantly further.
(For those of you following along at home, the Shim source code I'm talking about is here)
First, it checks whether the user has disabled local signature verification in check_mok_sb(). This is done by reading the MokSBState UEFI variable and verifying that it has the correct variable attributes, ensuring that it was created in the trusted boot services environment. If so, and if it's set appropriately, signature verification is disabled for the rest of Shim. Shim then pauses for a couple of seconds while displaying a message indicating that it's running in insecure mode.
Next, Shim checks whether the user has set any variables that indicate that a Mok request has been made in check_mok_request(). If so, it launches MokManager. The mechanism by which this is done is described later.
Shim then copies the Mok key database into a runtime variable, which makes it accessible to the kernel (mirror_mok_list()). The kernel can then use the Mok keys when performing module signature verification. Next, as the last step before launching the next stage bootloader, Shim installs a UEFI protocol that permits other applications to call back into Shim. We're now ready to branch off from Shim into the actual bootloader.
To do this, Shim has to do a few things. First, we need to get the bootloader off disk. This involves finding Shim's path, which we can do by opening the loaded image protocol on Shim's image handle, turning that into a string, walking backwards along it until we find a directory separator, stripping the filename and appending the path to the second stage bootloader. This is then turned back into a binary device path, all of this happening in generate_path(). The binary is then read off disk in load_image(), using the simple filesystem protocol. We open the device, open a reference to the file, check how large the file is, allocate a buffer to hold the file and then read it off disk into that buffer. Everything so far has been fairly straightforward, but now things get more complicated.
handle_image() is the real meat of Shim. First it has to examine the header data in read_header(), copying the relevant bits into a context structure that will be used later. Some basic sanity checks on the binary are also performed here. If we're running in secure mode (ie, Secure Boot is enabled and we haven't been toggled into insecure mode) we then need to verify that the binary matches the signature and hasn't been blacklisted.
verify_buffer() has to implement the Microsoft Authenticode specification, which details which sections of the binary have to be hashed and in which order. The actual hashing is done in generate_hash(), which calls into the crypto code to add each binary section to the hashed data. The comments in generate_hash() describe what's going on there clearly enough. The crypto code itself is a copy of the crypto library extracted from the Tiano source tree. It's a relatively thin layer on top of OpenSSL, so the code's been fairly well tested.
Once we have the hash, we need to verify the signature. First, we ensure that the Mok database hasn't been modified from the OS (verify_mok()). Next, we check whether the binary's hash or signature have been blacklisted (check_blacklist()). This is done for each of the SHA1 and SHA256 hashes of the binary (the two hashes implemented in Tiano) and the certificate. If any of these match an entry in the dbx variable or a built-in blacklist, Shim will refuse to run them. Next, we simply do the same for the whitelist. If the binary's hash is either in the db variable or the Mok list, or if it's signed with a certificate that chains back to an entry in either db or the Mok list, we'll run it. Finally, the signature is checked against any built-in keys. Certificate verification is carried out with the AuthenticodeVerify() function, which again comes from Tiano's crypto library and is mostly implemented in OpenSSL.
If the binary passed signature validation we return to handle_image() and now load the binary's sections into their desired addresses. That buffer is handed to relocate_coff() which runs through the binary's relocation entries and fixes them up. There's one last subtlety, which is that because we've been fixing this up by hand, the image handle still refers to the shim binary. We fix the ImageBase and ImageSize values in the loaded image protocol to match the newly relocated binary, which is vital because otherwise grub is unable to find its built in modules. Finally, we jump into the binary's entry point. What the binary does next is up to it - if it's a bootloader, there's a good chance that it'll simply launch an OS and we'll never return. If it does return, we restore ImageBase and ImageSize, uninstall the protocol we installed and exit ourselves. If Shim exits (either because the second stage bootloader wasn't present, didn't verify, or exited) then control will simply pass on to the next boot option in the UEFI priority list. If there's nothing else, the platform will do something platform defined.
And that's how Shim works.

Finca Luzon Altos de Luzon 2006
Other Red Blends from Jumilla, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Color: Garnet-purple, violet rim
Aroma: Mature fruits, blackberry, plum, hints of vanilla, roasted coffee, balsamic
Palate : Ample, mineral notes, mature tannins, sweetness, round and polished, long finish
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "A leader in user-friendly Monastrell from Jumilla is Luzón. Altos is the winery's high-expression baby, and if you like a bruiser with char, toast, coffee and other nocturnal characteristics, then look no further. Dynamite in terms of ripeness, with monster black-fruit, chocolate and coffee flavors. Not for the weak."
International Wine Cellar - "Glass-staining ruby. Cherry-cola and blackberry on the nose, with sexy vanillin oak and baking spice accents. Pliant dark berry flavors stain the palate , with firming dusty tannins absorbed by the fruit on the broad, sweet, long finish. I find the oak here to be complementary to the lush fruit but imagine that those with old-school palates will disagree. "
The Wine Advocate - "The more serious 2006 Altos de Luzon is 50% Monastrell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Tempranillo and was aged for 12 months in new French and American oak. This purple-colored wine offers a complex aromatic array of pain grille, scorched earth, blueberry, black cherry, and violets. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of savory fruit, spicy flavors, outstanding depth and structure, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2010 to 2018. "

Finca Luzon Winery
The estate was founded by the Gil family in 1916. For almost a century now they have strived to create wines that not only reflect the terroir of Jumilla but have an intense expression of the fruit and represent a good value in the market. They have achieved this goal through meticulous vineyard management and by adopting the latest technologies of winemaking available. The winery is located west of the town of Jumilla.
The grapes are sourced from the family-owned estate of 216 acres. The estate is surrounded by small mountains, 60 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards are at the altitude of 1,500-2,100 ft. The soils are a combination of sand and chalk covered with chalky gravel and stones. Jumilla has a continental climate due to the high altitude of the region, despite the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea; there are large fluctuations in temperature from day to night during the growing season and cold winters. Rainfall is scant. View all Finca Luzon Wines
About JumillaView a map of Jumilla wineries (hue-MILL-ah)
Notable FactsThe grape Monestrell (known as Mourvedre in France) is making an impact here, taking up over 80% of the vineyard land and producing wines of dense fruit and spice character. It snagged the common partner syrah for blending, as well as the international grape, Merlot. Monestrell takes well to the flat vineyards and rocky soils that retain heat. The red wines from Jumilla are full-bodied wines with flavors of black fruits and plums. Rosés of the Monestrell grape are refreshing and fruity.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:02 PM GMT en Agosto 14, 2009
A strong tropical wave (90L), with a large circulation and a moderate amount of heavy thunderstorm activity, is a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verdes Islands, off the coast of Africa. This morning's QuikSCAT pass shows that 90L has a large circulation, but this circulation is not yet well-formed, as it is elongated along an east-west axis. Satellite imagery from the European METEOSAT satellite show that the heavy thunderstorms associated with 90L are gradually becoming better organized, with some spiral banding evident on the south side of the storm. Satellite intensity estimates from NOAA already put 90L at tropical depression strength with 30 mph winds, but the storm does not yet have a well enough formed circulation to be classified as a depression. Water vapor imagery shows that since 90L is forming several hundred miles south of the dry air of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), the storm should not be affected by dry air and dust as much as Tropical Depression Two was. However, there is some dry air from the SAL being sucked into the circulation of 90L, and this is retarding its development.
Wind shear is moderate, about 10 - 15 knots, but is forecast to fall to the low range, 5 - 10 knots, later today. Shear is then forecast to remain low for the next five days. Sea Surface Temperatures are about 28°C, and will remain in the 27 - 28°C range the next five days. The combination of low wind shear and sufficiently warm SSTs should allow 90L to develop into a tropical depression by Saturday, and potentially reach hurricane strength by Wednesday. Most of our reliable models strengthen 90L into a hurricane by Wednesday, when the storm is expected to be near the northern Lesser Antilles Islands. One important outlier is the ECMWF model, which has 90L passing to the north of the islands, and eventually recurving out to sea east of Bermuda. The ECMWF was by far the most reliable model for forecasting hurricane tracks last year. However, all of our models are pretty unreliable going out 5 days in advance for systems that have yet to reach tropical depression strength. Once 90L becomes a tropical depression and develops a well-formed circulation, the models will have a better handle on forecasting where it will go.
Figure 1. The remnants of Tropical Depression Two (left side of image) and tropical wave 90L (right side of image).
Tropical Depression Two may come back
Tropical Depression Two died yesterday, but may rise again. Satellite loops of the remnants of the storm show that heavy thunderstorms are again attempting a comeback near the axis of what is now a tropical wave. However, dry air continues to interfere with the development of the thunderstorm activity, and moderately high wind shear of 15 - 20 knots is also inhibiting the process. Wind shear over the remnants of TD 2 is expected to remain in the moderate range, 10 - 20 knots, over the next four days. Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are 27°C, but will warm to 28°C two days from now. There is plenty of dry, stable air from the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) to the north and west that will continue to cause the storm problems. The relatively cool SSTs and dry air mean that any re-development of the storm will be slow to occur. NHC has given the system a medium (30 - 50% chance) of becoming a tropical depression again by Sunday morning. Only one reliable model, the NOGAPS, is predicting regeneration of TD 2. The NOAA Hurricane Hunters are flying research missions into the remnants of TD 2 today and Saturday.
I'll have an update Saturday morning, or earlier, if significant developments occur.

Wow! What an eye opener.
2 years ago we faced a choice for our 4 month old puppy...take her home and "enjoy the time we had left" or taking a chance on exploratory surgery. We said our pup is a fighter...give her a chance and she'll do the rest. She survived the surgery, and we think of her as a miracle girl, but she's accomplished NOTHING compared to what Dex has done!
Bless you for having faith in your guy and giving him the opportunity to do what he obviously loves.
I'm sure you've been told a million times that Dex's story could be a HUGE inspiration to the handicapped. Thank you for sharing Dex's story with the world. We need the inspiration!

Gooser, I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the fact that the administration was responsible for providing additional security for Stevens. The disagreement is over the Fox fabricated story that additional security was instructed to Stand Down.
In regards to Iraq, I was all for securing the WMD's. But, as I wrote here on RTF back in 2003, I was totally against nation building. My disagreement was in our policy of rebuilding Iraq that cost us so dearly in life and treasure. We were trying to make the Iraqis something they didn't want to be. A huge failure of the Bush/Cheney administartion and a big reason why we are in 16 TRILLION in debt today. Not to mention that we distrupted the balance of power in that region.

HELENA, Mont. ŌĆō Motivated by her parentsŌĆÖ oft-quoted mantra to become independent, contributing members of society, 36-year-old Liz Bangerter most likely exceeded their expectations when she became the first Mormon woman to be elected to MontanaŌĆÖs Legislature.
The bi-annual legislative session began this month and continues fast and furious for 90 days. BangerterŌĆÖs successful bid last November was based on campaign promises to listen and help constituents know they had a say in the process.
ŌĆ£We felt a lot like Mormon missionaries,ŌĆØ said Bangerter, who spent months with her husband knocking on doors. ŌĆ£We got the door slammed a lot, got bit by a dog, got cursed at ŌĆö even in front of our kids.ŌĆØ
But the door-knocking experience she will cherish most was meeting a woman who became emotional after hearing her speak.
ŌĆ£She told me, ŌĆśMy church has been praying that a good Christian would step up and run for office. You are an answer to my churchŌĆÖs prayers,'" Bangerter said. "Then she asked if I would speak to their womenŌĆÖs group and if they could pray that I would be led to do GodŌĆÖs will. That definitely made up for some of the awful door experiences."
Bangerter challenged herself spiritually during the weeks prior to being sworn into office.
ŌĆ£I teach the adult Sunday School class at church,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£So during the two weeks of Christmas break, I challenged my class and myself to read the entire Book of Mormon. I needed to do it personally as a spiritual goal and in turn, hopefully be worthy of receiving guidance, direction and discernment. IŌĆÖm still praying for it and hopefully it will come when I need it most.ŌĆØ
As a freshman representative, BangerterŌĆÖs first committee assignments are no walk in the park. She sits on the Judiciary Committee, the Health and Human Services Committee, and the Local Government Committee which are facing the three most controversial issues in Montana right now: medical marijuana, DUI laws and physician-assisted suicides.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre all hot, emotional social issues, and theyŌĆÖre all in my committees,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£We have proposals to loosen the current marijuana laws, to tighten them, to regulate, repeal and even return a referendum to the people to vote on."
Making the right decisions and making her family proud arenŌĆÖt her only challenges. Right after she raised her arm and was sworn into office on Jan. 3, her husband whisked her to the hospital for surgery for reoccurring kidney problems.
ŌĆ£It was my sixth surgery in the past nine months,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been hard to balance campaigning with surviving.ŌĆØ
Following her surgery, she had a severe reaction that put her in the intensive care unit that night.
ŌĆ£But I went back to work and no one knew I was sick,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£It keeps life interesting.ŌĆØ
While her fellow lawmakers may not be aware of her continuing health problems, they do know her religious affiliation.
ŌĆ£I was in a conversation and people were getting really derogatory toward Mormons while speaking about another Mormon legislator,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I realized I could either stand there or I could say something. So I said, ŌĆśYou know IŌĆÖm Mormon.ŌĆÖ Chins dropped. There was an awful silence and they backtracked. But after that experience I think they spread the word that I was ŌĆśone of them.'ŌĆØ
Six other Mormons serve with Bangerter among 150 members of MontanaŌĆÖs Senate and House. She represents a 17-mile long district that includes the heart of downtown Helena ŌĆö MontanaŌĆÖs capitol.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know how I could serve if we didnŌĆÖt live in Helena,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a big commitment for those 90 days, and it would be hard to balance everything if I had to travel.ŌĆØ
Bangerter is following her own advice and continuing the legacy of public service that her parents exemplified.
ŌĆ£My kids certainly know more about state government than other kids their age,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Initially they thought my campaign was kinda cool, but after all the work and time spent getting to this point, then they came to observe me on the House floor and were bored silly. They wondered if it was all worth it.
ŌĆ£It is,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£If we can work together to take care of the people of Montana, then itŌĆÖs definitely worth all the work.ŌĆØ

Tutorial Registration: Parallel Programming Using MPI
|Monday, March 24, 2014, 10:00 am - 04:00 pm
|575 Walter
|Andrew A Gustafson, MSI, David H Porter, MSI
This one-day, hands-on workshop provides an introduction on how to write a parallel program using MPI and will help researchers write better and portable parallel codes for distributed-memory Linux clusters. The tutorial will focus on basic point-to-point communication and collective communications, which are the most commonly used MPI routines in high- performance scientific computation. In addition, the advantage of using MPI non-blocking communication will be introduced. Each session of the workshop will combine a lecture with hands-on practice. The lecture will introduce basic principles, and the hands-on portion will focus on the use of MPI principles via examples.
Session 1: Introduction to basic concepts of MPI, centering on point-to-point communication.
Session 2: MPI collective communications including broadcast, gather, scatter, and All-to-All. Programming will be done in Fortran and C, so any background in these two languages will be helpful.
|Programming knowledge of C, C++ or FORTRAN
