McNeese State senior guard Ashlyn Baggett was named the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive year on Wednesday. (Rick Hickman / American Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 12:53 PM
FRISCO, Texas — McNeese State senior guard Ashlyn Baggett on Wednesday was named the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive year.
The Iota native is the first women's basketball player to garner the honor three times.
Baggett led the Cowgirls to their third consecutive postseason tournament appearance after posting a 21-15 overall record with an 11-7 mark in conference play. She helped McNeese reach the championship game of the Women's Basketball Invitational after leading McNeese to the semifinals of the SLC postseason tournament and earning all-tournament team honors for the third consecutive season. The three-time all-conference selection broke the conference record for 3-pointers made in a career with 308. Baggett led the Cowgirls in scoring this season and was second in the conference with 19.1 points per game. She led the league in 3-pointers made per contest (3.1) and was second the 3-point field goal percentage (.412).
In the WBI second round game against Elon, Baggett scored her 2,000th career point and made her 300th career 3-pointer. She ended her career as the McNeese's second all-time leading scorer with 2,051 points, ranking eighth all-time in the Southland. She will also go down ranked ninth as McNeese's all-time steal leader and season records for points, field goals attempted, 3-pt. field goals made and 3-pt. field goals attempted.
A graduate student pursuing her Master's in health and human performance while maintaining a 3.77 grade point average.
Caitlyn Baggett was named to the second team and her third time named to the all-academic team. She carries a 3.61 while pursuing her Master's in health and human performance. Caitlyn is McNeese's career assists leader and ranks third as the all-time career scorer. She also holds the school's single season and career record for free throws made. She set a single game record with 17 consecutive free throws in the victory over Mercer. She is also set a single season assists record this season with 171 assists.
McNeese State, Sam Houston State, Oral Roberts and Nicholls led all schools with two members on the all-academic teams while Central Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana each had one apiece.

A book that challenges common misconceptions about the nature of intelligence.
Satoshi Kanazawa's Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters (written with Alan S. Miller) was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a rollicking bit of pop Science & Technology that turns the lens of evolutionary psychology on issues of the day." That book answered such burning questions as why women tend to lust after males who already have mates and why newborns look more like Dad than Mom. Now Kanazawa tackles the nature of intelligence: what it is, what it does, what it is good for (if anything). Highly entertaining, smart (dare we say intelligent?), and daringly contrarian, The Intelligence Paradox will provide a deeper understanding of what intelligence is, and what it means for us in our lives.
Challenging common misconceptions about the nature of intelligence, this book offers surprising insights into the cutting-edge of Science & Technology at the intersection of evolutionary psychology and intelligence research.

"Evolutionary psychology explains our behaviour"
We can't understand ourselves and our behaviour without evolutionary psychology.
It made me think deeply more than once. Surely that counts for something?
It's very politically incorrect, so please avoid if you are sensitive to texts offensive to progressive worldview.
"very academic yet insightful"
the conclusions drawn are based only on the western civilization data. would be interesting if other datasets are also used. i understand the availability of such datasets may be an issue.

…Find out what it means to me…R-E-S-P-E-C-T…
Respect seems to be one of those values that is fading, going the way of the buffalo. Seems that way, but I hope not.
We had a lengthy chat the other night about respect and how it effects the life of a Patrol.
Patrols will never be good patrols until the members respect one another. There will never be an end to violence unless people respect one another. There will never be an end to crime until those that commit crime learn to respect others.
And so it goes.
The Patrol and Troop needs to be aware that it all comes down to respect. Respect for each others ideas. Respect for each others property, respect for each others feelings. Respect for each other as a person.
You can not move in the direction of a "High performance team" until all the members respect the vision of the leader and understand that the team wants to move forward. Respecting the idea that there is give and take. You can not always get your way.
Respect goes deeper than that though. It is the basic idea that you want to be treated by others the way you treat them. Lets assume that you treat others well, you expect to be treated well.
It is the golden rule and no matter where you are from, what faith community you belong to, what culture you were born to. Treating others the way you want to be treated is a basic tenant. Respect is the foundation of that thought.
I am sure that you will find that when respect is given it is received. Let's take for example the place were the Troop meets.
We make sure that every time we use it, we take out the trash, straighten the chairs and clean up any mess we made. This leaves the meeting hall in good shape for the next people. The owners of the hall see that we continually do our part to keep it clean. They see that we respect this gift that has been given and they continue to give. On the other hand if we trash it and treat the hall with disrespect, they would surely kick us out.
It is something as simple as that.
Respect one another and you will find that much of what you perceive as problems will go away. You will find that others will respect you in return.
Nothing good can happen until mutual respect is given.
Happy Scouting!

Conference reconsiders the nation's founders, April 2-3
Posted March 25, 2004; 04:27 p.m.
The leadership of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton will be re-evaluated by a number of prominent historians during a conference, "Leadership in the Early Republic: Reconsidering Five Key Founders," on Friday and Saturday, April 2-3, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
"A reconsideration of the nation's founders could not be more timely in the present era of nation building and the danger of failed states," said conference organizer Fred Greenstein , professor emeritus of politics and the director of the Woodrow Wilson School Program in Leadership Studies. "It is only by understanding the founders as human beings with distinctive strengths and weaknesses that we can establish their legacy for our own times."
The conference will begin with a keynote address on George Washington at 8 p.m. Friday by Gordon Wood of Brown University, whose 1992 book, "The Radicalism of the American Revolution," won the Pulitzer Prize for history.
The other sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. A complete schedule and information about participants is available online . The conference is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions and the Program in Leadership Studies.

Reality Check: 911 Center Claims In County Exec Race
Election Is April 7
MADISON, Wis. - Controversy was sparked one year ago over the alleged mishandling of a 911 call from slaying victim Brittany Zimmermann, and with just five days to the spring election, the issue is still center stage as the Dane County executive candidates trade barbs over the county's 911 Center.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
"Kathleen Falk cut funding for 911 and then tragedy struck," says a recent ad by challenger Nancy Mistele.
"Sadly, instead of discussing her record or vision, my opponent is trying to use tragedy for political advantage," says a recent ad by Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk.
The 911 Center controversy began with a call from Zimmermann that officials said was mishandled. Police said a dispatcher should have heard sounds indicating that Zimmermann needed help, while the dispatcher has said she heard nothing indicating an emergency on the call.
Mistele alleges that Falk cut funding for 911 prior to the Zimmermann call. But a WISC-TV "Reality Check" found this claim misleading. Falk requested a $138,000 cut to Public Safety Communications in her 2005 budget instructions.
"All county agencies get the same budget guidelines, and then I and the County Board review them, and I rejected those suggestions for cuts and in fact added to the 911 system, as I have every year," Falk told WISC-TV on May 20, 2008.
The final Dane County Budget signed in 2005 made no cuts to the 911 Center and instead added three positions. The county's 911 Center's budget has increased each year since.
But Mistele claims Falk's handling of the Zimmermann call controversy shows poor leadership in the county.
"She tried a cover-up, then passed the buck to the Legislature, then the police, then the operators," says the Mistele ad.
All citations given in the ad are from an Isthmus opinion article last May, not local news reports, WISC-TV reported.
WISC-TV also found that whether there was a "cover-up" is up for debate. Falk claimed from the beginning that Madison police officials asked the county not to share information from the 911 call, and it still hasn't fully been made public. Police leaders said that they asked to keep contents of the tape secret but never said the call couldn't be discussed in general.
"Since a mishandled 911 call last year, we've taken action and made changes," says a recent Falk ad. "A recent independent audit called our system 'well-run,' even as we make more improvements."
There have been changes made since last year, including a new policy that says police will be dispatched on cell phone calls, a change in 911 Center management and a new audit of the center.
The audit did say Dane County's 911 Center was well-run, saying that calls are answered in less than eight seconds and the center meets many best practices targets.
But the report found a few elements for concern and improvement, including that dispatchers feel policies and procedures aren't clear or up to date and that the center needs more management staff and training.

TUPELO – Small business owners concerned about the economy and their livelihoods felt no better with President Barack Obama's re-election on Tuesday.
Many said the past four years have been difficult for their businesses due to a combination of a tough economy and a perception that the administration has done little to help them.
Weather's Auto Supply owner Mike Mason said he was disappointed in the outcome.
"Obamacare is the major issue," he said, referring to the Affordable Care Act.
Mason said he's done a little research, and he's still not sure what health care reform will mean or how it will affect his business.
"I had two employees ask what our future was," he said. "I just don't know."
He said the 2 percent payroll tax holiday enjoyed by employees didn't affect employers.
"The money didn't disappear; business owners still had to pay in, and for us, that was $25,000 for the year," he said.
He also said the unemployment benefits extension forced businesses to pay more toward unemployment insurance.
Expanding health care benefits is another layer of expense small businesses will have to absorb in one way or another, Mason fretted.
Eddie Scott, owner of Computer Universe had another take on the election.
"This redistribution of wealth is the biggest problem I have. … why should I work hard to help my family and employees but let somebody else who's not working take it."
With 19 employees and stores in Tupelo and Pontotoc, Scott said he's in position to grow and open more stores.
Or rather, he was. Now he's thinking about waiting a little longer while the dust clears over the impending fiscal cliff and implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Those uncertainties don't instill confidence in any business owner, Scott said.
"It's taken away any incentive to open more stores, and that takes away jobs and takes away tax dollars for the community," he said.
Way-Fil Jewelry owner Patti Thompson was more pragmatic in her view.
"I'm glad the election over," she said.
Like Scott, Thompson has her concerns, too.
"Small businesses – we're trying to figure out what do with the Affordable Health Care Act," she said. "But we are happy to see some of the benefits.
"I just hope that Senate and the House can work with Obama and stop their nonsense," she added.

Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are up $6.37, or over 9%, at $72.93, after Morgan Stanley's Scott Devitt this morning raised his rating on the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight, writing that the company "is poised to leverage its domestic cost structure and potentially become the global video platform."
Despite that grand statement, Devitt's point today is it's enough to model just the success of Netflix's North American business, without assuming any success overseas:
In a downside scenario, at current price levels, an investor would be paying ~8x GAAP operating income for the domestic business. In addition, the investor would be adequately provisioned for $1.6B in international content obligations in the event the international business were to be wound down. Within the valuation, we assume the international business immediately stops generating revenue but still works through 2 years of content agreements at our estimate CQ4:12 run-rate international content spend. Another way to interpret this is Netflix could fund the international content obligations with the ~$800MM of cash on its balance sheet and the remaining obligations with its domestic business over the course of the two years.
Devitt is also reassured that Netflix is no longer "writing checks just as fast as subscribers were signing up," as it had the last couple years, and has become more prudent: "Fast forward to today, as content agreements are rolling off, we are seeing a much more tactical approach to content acquisition, and we believe the company is focusing more on acquiring boutique film and serialized television content.
Lastly, Devitt thinks the fear's of Amazon.com's (AMZN) "Prime" subscriber video service crushing Netflix are now less of a thing to worry about:
We originally thought Amazon.com was in the process of building up a full-scale content portfolio in order to manage the transition from physical video to digital video products / services. As Amazon.com's business model evolves, our analysis leads us to conclude that the company is being very deliberate with its investment in video content. Amazon.com seeks to keep the monetization on its own platform. To that end, the company is effectively providing enough content to subsidize the viewing experience for the consumer and providing a platform for the consumer to supplement her viewing experience by offering Amazon Instant Video rentals.

East Coast dealers will remember $4.85 gas, $20,000 to rent a generator
It's the little things in life that sometimes make big impressions.
Take New York-area auto dealer Bruce Bendell's experience refueling his car a few days after Hurricane Sandy hit.
Bendell had been avoiding fuel stations because of the hours-long lines for gasoline following Sandy. But late one night this past week he had to refuel. He found a station off the highway that was open with "only three cars there," he said.
Bendell soon realized why the line was so short.
"Regular gas was $4.85 a gallon. That's a big markup," Bendell says. "The next morning on the radio they mentioned some gas stations were gouging. It's supply and demand."
Fuel stations weren't the only ones gouging.
New Jersey dealer Peter Spina needed to rent a commercial generator to get his store's power back on. He'd been closed for a week because of a lack of electricity. Spina knew the generator should cost about $5,000 a week. Yet, the one he found cost $20,000 a week. Spina knew he was being ripped off.
You can bet both dealers will remember those businesses when times return to normal and not patronize them if they can help it.
And in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, those are two examples of businesses that prove reputation is defined in the small deeds done during a big crisis.

I can imagine what a mess this is for the Open. A lot of time lost. I am guessing that if they had just scrubbed a second test around 1:00, they would have to find another location for it and walk those grounds (I am sure they would have to check them out after so many injuries on hidden barb wire). They probably didn't get the 3rd try at the Open going until 2:00 p.m. or later. They will probably be running dogs until dark thirty tonight trying to make up for this.
Now folks can see why it is so important for clubs to list the closest veterinarian. I am just glad that this happened on a Friday and not on a Sunday.
I just finished reading on line comments from a veterinarian about hunting dogs getting cut tongues. He said photos were taken of dogs running while hunting. Their mouths are open and their tongues are fully extended. I can understand now how Ruby could get a badly cut tongue on barb wire that apparently was hidden in brush or high grass she was running through.
I'm at the test. I am not aware of four dogs being injured. That's not to say they weren't but obviously at least two were - Marion's Kate and Don's Ruby. The test was only really scrapped once. They did do an adjustment after the first dog ran and could not see the long bird and ended up hunting deep in the wrong area and came up with a bumper. They moved the long gun in much shorter, gave the dog that never picked up any of the marks but came back with a bumper a rerun, and proceeded with the test. After Marion reported the injury to her dog to the Committee, they immediately checked the field and scrapped the test. I don't know if they were aware of Ruby's injury at that time. They had run about 13 dogs on the scrapped test. They stopped that test after dog #24, having started with #11 which was the one that picked up the bumper. The new test is in a different area - a double and a blind. The marks are thrown - one very long thrown left to right in an open field and one very short thrown right to left to a wide spit in a pond. Pull the dog off the marks and run the blind under the arc of the short bird with multiple water entries enroute and then way out into the field. Then pick up the marks by invitation. The marks can be almost an over and under depending on the length of the short throw. Among the first six or seven dogs, there have been at least three handles on the marks and a pickup on the blind.

Don just called me from the vet's office. Ruby's cut is at least 1" deep in her tongue. She had to be put under for stitches. Don said that Ruby was the 3rd dog to be brought into the vet's clinic for barb wire cuts today.
1- Marion Carey's dog Kate. Might not have been a leg. Don thought the blood was coming from a leg. Might have been from her side and a nipple.
2 - a dog Brooke Vandebrake ran. Don does not know how bad that injury was, he didn't see it. The dog had been treated by the same vet before Don brought in Ruby
3- Ruby.
He had heard there were 4 dogs, but the vet could tell him only about 3 he had treated so maybe the 4th dog did not need stitches.
Don can't leave the vet's office until they are done stitching and Ruby comes out from being under. The Open knows that and they said they would wait for him to get back there with Sally. It might be dark when that happens. Don is a wreck.
Don thought that Marion's dog might have been the first dog hurt so that when she told them about it is when they realized something was out there and so they scrapped the test. Don thinks maybe they did not know about Brooke's dog or Ruby. When Ruby came back with a duck and blood dripping out of her mouth, he grabbed her and took her to our truck to check her out. The judges did not know about it I don't think. Don didn't know how serious it was until he could get her held down and the blood stopped so he could see what was bleeding.
Barb wire can easily be hidden in brush or tall grass. Hard to find it when walking the grounds. I don't blame the judges or the F.T. Committee for not seeing it. I applaud them for changing the test as soon as they learned about Marion's dog.
Brooke has been at the Open all day so I'm not sure when he could have gone to the vet. He ran the first dog (the one who found the bumper) and was in the holding blind with his second dog when they scrapped the test. Don ran Ruby right in front of Marion's Kate. I'm not aware that anyone knew that Ruby had been injured. Marion advised the Committee and the Committee took prompt action. I guess the moral of the story is if your dog is injured while running a test, be sure that the Committee is informed. If the Committee is notified promptly, they can take action to save other dogs from being injured. The field trial programs now include a section on Event Committees and their responsibilities for safety. That section says that the Committee should be notified immediately of a serious injury to a dog whether while running a test or on the grounds. A serious injury is defined as requiring a trip to a vet. The Committee can then investigate and take appropriate action and report to the AKC. As handlers, we should all be aware of these guidelines and make sure that we report any serious injuries to our dogs so that action can be taken.

Alternate name: Jumping Cholla
Family: Cactaceae, Cactus view all from this family
Description Soft and fuzzy in appearance, the painfully clinging spines of this miniature tree make it one of the most formidable and respected cacti of the Southwest. Its short, stubby branches are densely covered with dense pale gold or pale green spines.
Habit: native perennial shrub or subshrub.
Height: 3-10 ft (1-3 m)
Trunk: upright, densely branched, to 2 in (5 cm) diameter.
Stem: succulent, curving up and out, with whorled segments; cylindrical joints 1.5-8 in (4-20 cm) tall, to 4 in (10 cm) diameter; easily detached.
Leaf: very sharp spine, pale yellow to grayish-tan, to 1 in (25 mm) long; densely held in clusters 7-15 per areole.
Flower: yellow to pale green, sometimes stripoed with red or lavender, to 1.5 in (38 mm) wide; diurnal.
Fruit: green becoming yellow, barrel-shaped, pineapple textured, 0.6-1.6 in (1.4-4 cm) long, to 1.1 in (28 mm) diameter, with deciduous spines; persisting indefinitely.
Warning The spines of the Teddybear Cholla stick instantly and hold tightly by means of minute, backwardly directed barbs. When a joint (which seems to "jump" when detached by a light touch or bump) is severely stuck, the victim's best solution is to cut the spines with scissors or clippers and pull them from the flesh with pliers.
Flower March to June, then August to September depending on rains.
Habitat Sandy and gravelly soils; desert sands, mesas, dry rocky or gravel slopes, creosote bush scrub, gravelly to rocky washes, bajadas; 1000-3000 ft (300-900 m); also cultivated as an ornamental.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
JUMPERTOWN – Southern Sentinel sports writer Kedrick Storey summed it up perfectly when he said coaches and players in the Prentiss County Tournament coached and played like there was a gold ball on the line.
Approximately 1,500 people piled into every nook and cranny of the maybe 1,100-seat Jumpertown gym last Saturday for the 2013 finals.
What they saw were three teams that were in the state tournament a season ago. One was New Site's girls, who won Class 2A. The Lady Royals flexed and beat Baldwyn for their sixth straight Prentiss title.
State runners-up Baldwyn and Booneville put on a show in the boys final. Martell Brown gave Baldwyn a one-point lead with 10 seconds to play. But Booneville avenged a one-point county championship loss last season on Jordan Miller's putback as time expired.
Some missed it, but not because they wanted to. The house was full shortly after 4 p.m., two hours before the girls champion-ship.
Prentiss County junior varsity teams still play for their county title as well, and for the Baldwyn-Booneville JV game, the crowd was louder than some places get for varsity division games.
There were coaches from all over, some to scout, most to watch.
Tupelo, Biggersville, Nettleton and Blue Mountain all had coaches there. The only seat Blue Mountain coach David Mason could find was on the floor, literally on the floor underneath the basket.
Chairs lined three sides of the court with a full row of people standing behind them. People sat on the floor in front of the chairs one each baseline.
Baldwyn's team arrived in time to go to the locker room, knowing there was nowhere to sit if they got there early. They walked in to a rain of boos on Booneville's side.
The New Site and Baldwyn girls left their locker rooms with nowhere to sit and watch the boys. There was nowhere to sit or stand. All four corner exits were filled with people standing on their toes to get a glimpse.
One roll-away goal in the corner had two people all but hanging from the rim to watch.
Jumpertown overcame its Class 1A-sized gym with Class 6A hospitality for what was a reminder of just how much basketball means to North Mississippi.

Salmon and Dams
This was in this mornings Seattle Times:
An administration roadmap to salmon extinction
By Bruce Babbitt
Wild salmon are drifting toward extinction in the northern Rocky Mountains. Last fall, the Bush administration delivered a decision that will be the death blow, if it stands: Four obsolete dams on the Snake River in eastern Washington state will not be dismantled.
The Snake River dams were conceived on a field of industrial dreams. The idea took root in the 1960s, when local boosters persuaded Congress to authorize a huge project to transform Lewiston, Idaho, 400 miles from the Pacific, into a seaport.
The Army Corps of Engineers then proceeded to subdue 140 miles of the wild Snake, remaking it into a slack-water barge channel.
The dream soon turned into a nightmare for people and towns that depend on wild salmon. The fish began disappearing from the lakes and rivers upstream from the dams.
In one year, only a single sockeye managed to find its way up to Redfish Lake, in the Sawtooth Mountains, to spawn.
Prized chinook runs vanished throughout central Idaho. Fisheries and fishing jobs in the Northwest and as far away as Alaska, tribal fisheries included, declined with them.
Meanwhile, the promised inland seaport boom did not arrive.
The volume of barge shipments never reached expectations, in part because many farmers in the region still found it cheaper to ship by rail to the deep-water port at Tacoma.
That didn't deter the corps, which continues to spend $36 million a year to operate and maintain the four Snake River dams, their locks and the navigation channel.
Yet, even at this late date, there is still a chance to save the salmon. The corps, the farmers and the fishermen could cooperate to get the wheat off the river and onto railroads where it belongs.
The track is in place. The mainlines of the Burlington Northern and the Union Pacific run right through this wheat country and then west to Washington ports at Pasco, Vancouver and Tacoma, and Portland, Ore.
The state of Washington just purchased the short lines that feed the mainlines. This system already ships a lot of local wheat, and, with modest further investment, the Burlington Northern says it will be ready and willing to handle what is now shipped by river.
Farmers near the river who use the channel to transport grain are the main voice for keeping the dams, because they save 3 to 7 cents per bushel compared with shipping by rail. What stands between waters alive with salmon and the silent expanses of extinction is that 3 to 7 cents per bushel.
All of this cries out for a common-sense solution that takes all sides into account. There is one that has yet to be considered: Simply shut down the barge traffic, take out the dams and then dedicate a small part of the annual $36 million that would be saved to making up the shipping differential with the farmers.
In contrast, the administration's plan to keep the dams and "save" the salmon has an estimated total cost of $6 billion over the next 10 years. Much of that would go to various schemes to barge, truck, pipe and steer migrating salmon around the dams.
Scientists have repeatedly concluded that these proposals offer little hope of restoring the wild salmon to fishable abundance.
Neither science nor logic nor economic theory supports the administration's plan. The dams could be dismantled, the farmers who ship on the river compensated and the relatively small amount of electricity the dams generate replaced, for about one-third of the $6 billion. A restored fishery would be worth at least $1 billion a year to Pacific Northwest states.
The administration's plan is a very expensive roadmap to salmon extinction. It's time to admit a mistake and set about fixing it for the sake of fishermen, farmers, Native Americans, the salmon, the inland Pacific Northwest ecosystem and the taxpayers.
Bruce Babbitt was secretary of the Department of Interior from 1993 to 2001. He is a former governor and attorney general of Arizona.
Bruce Babbitt is a man I look up to more than any president during my adult life. Thanks for posting Leland, it's good to see there are some people involved in a political career worthy of a sportsman's deepest respect and admiration although it's a shame that he is no longer our Secretary of the Interior.
Snake River Dams
Right on about Babbitt. Look who our secretary is now, a former lobbiest for the timber industry! If that's not the fox supervising the chickens, I don't what is.
One important point that I always mention when debating this issue with the Save Our Dams advocates is this is only partial dam removal. All of the four lower Snake River Dams are composed of a concrete structure on one side of the river and a huge earthen berm extending the rest of the way across the river. Only the dirt is to be removed. The concrete structure including the power house, turbines, locks and fish ladders will be mothballed. These valuable infractures will not be dismantled. They will be left in place and the dams could easily be rebuilt if we wished to do so in the future, all it takes is dirt. What does it take to rebuild a salmon?
I have read studies that claim the cost of removing the dirt from all four dams is less than the annual current cost of dam maintenace and dam improvements to make them more fish friendly.
How can any sensible individual refute temporary dam removal as a remedy in the face of salmon extinction?
This important aspect of the dam removal arguement for salmon recovery usually mollifies any fervent dam surporter, if not, take a 4 inch large arbor reel and....
Great Post Leland!
I also read not too long ago alot of this information in greater detail in David James Duncan's book, "My Story as told by Water." Those 4 snake dams generate something like 4 or 6% of the regions power at an Astronomical price. A 6 billion dollar bandaide, vs. moving some dirt, paying a few hundred bucks to each farmer who will loose a few pennies per bushel seems to make PERFECT sense to me.....as it should the rest of Tax Paying America. However, Its been proven time and again that Common Sense has NO PLACE in our current environmental policies or future policies.
As for someone's mention thats its time to fess up to a failed scheme and start fixing it..........That'll be the day! Its more profitable to keep leaching the pockets of blue collar America.

This month's winner for S10Forum's Truck Of The Month is: dagreenmonster!!!
What is the Big Three (Big 3) upgrade?
The Big Three upgrade, simply put, is upgrading the main three electrical charging wires in a vehicle's electrical system. These wires are the power wire from the alternator to the battery positive, the engine block to a ground, and the battery negative to a ground.
Why should I upgrade the Big Three?
Ok, so I have been working on this for the past three days. Im putting 4 hours a day into it until im done. I have been having the hardest time finding a dash bezel so when I finally got one I decided to make it just how I wanted. Im using abs plastic from an old POS Rozzi body kit to fill all the air vents, the air bag switch, and the spot where the ac controls were.
Suicidedoors.com gets several calls a week about how hard it is to assemble a super pivot joint. I agree, its a little tough. You want the pivot ball to be tight, not a sloppy loosy loose one. Here's how you can put them together with typical tools, we used to put them together like this but now we have a neat pneumatic ram to compress the bushings.
Back in the late 1970s when everyone was worried about the "gas crunch," Chevy needed some smaller engines in a hurry, so it created a new family of junior-sized V6s by chopping two cylinders off its existing V8s. This enabled GM to shorten the development process dramatically because it was able to adapt a proven design.
Have you had a problem with your valve sticking? Or leaking air in or out of your system?
Well here is a step by step walk through on how to clean out your valves and make them work good as new. In this article we are working on a SMC brand valve but the steps taken are silmilar for all diaphram style valves on the market.
As you know most people always need some kind of new Xtreme GFX part for their truck whether they dragged there's off or just want to put the Xtreme kit on their regular S10. A list of part numbers has been complied throughout the years and is being made available to you!
This article will address the installation of one of the easiest door popper kits on the market: the AVS #SDK11. The unit is 100% bolt-on for 94+ S-series trucks and 95+ S-series SUVs. Once the solenoid is mounted, most of the wiring is plug and play, with just the neccessary contacts such as power/ground needing to be spliced into the truck.

'Dementia, Exercise' lecture to be April 23
The Smoky Mountain Center Geriatric & Adult Mental Health Specialty Team is partnering with The Area Agency on Aging and Haywood Senior Resource Center to present a lecture on "Dementia and Exercise." This free training from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, April 23, at the Haywood Senior Resource Center, 81 Elmwood Way, in Waynesville.
The lecture is a compilation of information from National Institute of Health, National Institute on Aging, and Center for Disease Control. The information includes two studies about the impact of exercise on dementia, what types of exercise have the most impact, how much and how often an individual needs to exercise to possibly decrease the impact of dementia, and the intensity needed to potentiate protection against dementia.
If Haywood County Schools are closed due to weather, this event will be rescheduled. To learn more, contact Leslie Lawson at 356-2824.

April 18th, 2008 by Rosa
I've seen Mambas on the candy racks at Walgreen's for ages and finally picked up a pack when they were on sale. They're made by Storck, the same company that makes Werther's Originals, Riesens, and Toffifee.
They come in four flavors: orange, lemon, raspberry, and strawberry. For some kooky reason, Storck has decided to package their Mambas so that you get 3 six-packs per package. So instead of getting a few of all of the flavors, you get six each of three of the four flavors. Weird, right? Maybe it's some manipulative ploy to get you to buy more Mambas in search of your missing fourth flavor or something. I just got annoyed.
My package contained lemon, orange, and raspberry. I got lucky, as citrus flavors are my favorite.
Mambas are similar to Starbursts, only they're smaller and have a slightly firmer chew. I'd place the give of a Mamba somewhere between a Starburst and a Now and Later.
The lemon was bright with a little bit of an effervescent citrus tang. There was no acidity to this lemon flavor, yet it managed to avoid the trap of tasting like lemon floor cleaner.
Orange tasted like an orange creamsicle, which was a bit more mellow than what I expected. I personally didn't care for the raspberry, as it carried with it a weird, seedy flavor. I can see others enjoying it, but it's not for me.
Mamba gets an OM from me. I finished the entire pack over the course of a few days – they're rather addictive – but I don't think I would by them again.

That's not what you said earlier.
I'm not BasilBrush, so there's no "what I said earlier" to speak of. What *I* am saying, however, is that speaking of walking up to someone and yelling "motherfucker" is missing BasilBrush's point, because the word's function in that particular context is that of a whole sentence. Saying what amounts to "you regularly have sex with your own mother!" is what might get you clobbered, not the word itself. Walk up to a person and yell "motherfucker!" while pointing at someone else and the person who was in one case so offended as to break your nose might actually laugh about it with you instead.

I guess there will be no more "Shazam" for the Windows Phone platform, then?
And that receiving and carrying it separately for each customer (using a separte tiny antenna and cheap-in-quantity integrated circuit digital radio receiver) was a transparent workaround that attempted to use an interpretation of the letter of the law to violate its intent).
In other words, you're saying they broke the law by complying with the law.
Sue the company who is making the illegal product and force them to take down all sites and advertisements.
As far as I know, the company making the "illegal" product is American. The company's website has not been shut down because it hasn't [yet] been found to have acted illegally by a US court. The BC court therefore wants Google to remove all links to a company that could very well be perfectly legal outside Canada.
Because the right to be forgotten is not designed to destroy the evidence.
Right. It's only designed to destroy any links to that evidence, which, for some reason, you don't think is a bad thing.
Instead it is designed to make it just a little bit harder to destroy someone's life.
In fact, it's designed to make it a lot harder to find the content in question, and do so whether or not doing otherwise would destroy someone's life.
If for example your ex-wife or girlfriend falsely accuses you of being a pedophile...
That's libel, and it's illegal even without the "right to be forgotten". If, on the other hand, the claim is not false, why should you have the right to sweep it under the rug?
It's better than being know for owing lots of money. From the current story it will be clear that he no longers ows that money.
Why should it matter? Creditors shouldn't be looking at Google results to make lending decisions anyway. Let's regulate that instead of Google.
You're not suppressing information, you're just making it very difficult to find. How comforting.
Instead of whitewashing history, how about promoting critical thinking, research, and debating skills so people can get the full picture? People will eventually get used to the idea that you can't take everything on the Internet at face value, without hiding any content or throwing any factual information down the memory hole. It may take a few generations, but as the old guard dies and is replaced by the new, people will learn to better handle what they read online.
By being able to get old search results removed if they're outdated, you don't remove your original record - it would still be visible at the bailiff's office (or for a paedophile example in police records - which are the only source you SHOULD use as a definitive reference) - so "B" can't get out of his responsibilities; B can only influence the filter bubble that is in the google search results.
Why shouldn't police records be searchable? Why can't Google allow them to be searched? What you're saying is that, since the records are still available somewhere, it is perfectly acceptable to make them almost impossible to find. That's not good.
I'm sure there are easier ways to kidnap a child than to rewrite the firmware on a particular vehicle. As for systematic trafficking in people through the use of hacked vehicles, I doubt such a practice would be sustainable except in places where human trafficking isn't already commonplace.
"Let alone the most obvious danger hacking of the service to facilitate remote control abduction of children."
If we talk about near future it seems unlikely that an autonomous car will be able to handle all possible situations
You know what else isn't able to handle all possible situations? A human driver.
In fact, human reaction times are pretty lousy compared to computers. If anything, allowing a vehicle's occupants to override an automated system could lead to more accidents rather than fewer ones.
No, it only increases Adobe's control over their own software. This does not give them control over you.
You're being intentionally obtuse. It not only gives Adobe control over their software, but also control over your ability to use the software. That's the only kind of "control over you" Dogtanian was talking about.
The fact that Adobe once offered an unlimited license to their software was their choice at the time. It didn't entitle you to anything regarding their future business.
None of which is in dispute, as I'm sure you know.
Any "right to be forgotten" needs to be accompanied by a "right to remember". Information legitimately published should never have to be removed from the web or pruned from search results. Information disclosed illegally is, of course, a different matter, but legitimate information, once published, should never be suppressed.
Yesterdays decision is a blow to freedom of speech. It allows sweeping factual, legitimately published information under the rug simply because the subject doesn't like the fact that the information is public. It is censorship and nothing less.
There are running jobs. Why don't you go chase them?

About the States' Policies & Human Biotechnology
Individual states are filling the regulatory void created by the federal
governments failure to provide comprehensive legislation governing human
biotechnologies. This is creating an often inconsistent policy patchwork.
State action is evident in a number of areas, including embryonic stem cell, cloning, egg retrieval, and assisted reproduction. More than a dozen states have laws banning reproductive cloning, about half of which
also prohibit cloning for stem cell research. Dozens of similar bills are
introduced in other states each year.
In response to President Bushs restrictions on the federal funding of human
embryonic stem cell research, several states initiated their own funded
research programs. California led the
way in 2004 with Proposition 71, which set aside $3 billion of public funds
for stem cell research over ten years.

Thread: Live Rock
Live Rock
Just though I would write something up on Live Rock as we have had a few 'newbies' show up lately.
Live Rock is an essential part of all aspects of marine aquariums - Whether it is a reef set up, FO (Fish only) or FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock).
Generally, live rock is the base structure for reef and FOWLR aquariums, providing a food source and shelter for your organisms and to provide a porous environment for essential bacteria. In fish only aquariums, live rock is generally found in the sump.
Live rock can come from four sources:
Dead base rock - dead coral rock placed into an aquarium with added ammonia to build up the essential bacteria
Oceanic Rock - 'Live' rock taken straight from a reef environment. This will contain the greatest quantity of higher life forms and the essential bacteria
Aqua-culture - Dead base rock which has been added to an aquarium with Live rock. This rock will have different marine algaes and some life forms such as copepods, in addition to bacteria
Mari-culture - Dead base rock which has been placed in the ocean. This rock contains the essential bacteria, and has an abundance of higher life forms. In essence, similar to oceanic live rock.
All of these different sources of Live Rock have different environmental and economic implications, as well as a cost factor for the average hobbyists. I will not go into these implications simply due to the fact that I feel that it is not my place to encourage or discourage people from buying from certain sources.
When people talk about live rock, they generally talk about the calcium skeletons of thousands of generations of SPS and LPS corals, covered in an abundance of life from copepods and amphipods, to worms, corals and even the occasional fish or octopus.
However, it is imperative to understand that the term Live Rock does not refer to different algaes or critters, but simply to the essential bacterial life contained within. For example, dead base rock placed into an aquarium and left to cycle with added ammonia, will become 'Live' but will not have any higher life forms than bacteria or lower algaes such as diatoms, cyano or possibly hair algae. However, it is fundamentally 'live' rock.
Rock taken out of the ocean is 'live' in the sense that it contains the essential bacterial life, but also has the added benefit of higher life forms such a copepods, worms and snails etc and different algaes such as coralline.
What people need to understand, is the importance of live rock to marine aquariums. The various species of bacteria which shelters within the rock eliminates dangerous ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. The rock also provided shelter for detritivores so that they are not predated on by your fish. These detritivores consume fish waste and are very beneficial to your aquarium. In essence, your rock is the 'filter' of your aquarium. Any any money which your would spend on a canister filter, should instead be invested in live rock.
As you can see, I have only discussed the basic principles of live rock. However, one must do their own research into what would work best for their aquarium. What so-called 'newbies' must understand, is that live rock is the basis on which your aquarium survives. It is also the filter which means that there is no need for expensive filtration equipment - EXCEPT FOR PROTEIN SKIMMERS
Nice post unleashed! Another thing that complicates this issue is that LR vendors have not agreed on the nomenclature. So different vendors would probably call the same batch of rock by a different name.
Great Job on the post though!40g SW

New Live Rock
Not sure if this is the best place to post this question but since you mentioned live rock.........My 55g has been up and running for 8 months and seems stable for now. I have 3 fish - Maroon Clown, Green Chromis and Coral Beauty. I have never had any live rock but would like to add some if possible. What type and how much and how fast ?
type is up to you, most common is fiji but theres plenty of others, Jakarta is well liked also
if its cured rock, you could add the full amount, which should be about 55lbs-150lbs all at once. if its uncured rock, you have to let it sit in a spare tank or buckets for a month
I would follow Cocoas advice, and keep it in a bucket with SW and a powerhead for at least 2 weeks. The only exception would be if you TOTALLY trusted your LFS, and they were able to give you a precise timetable for the amount of time the rock had been curing.
Also, (if possible) make sure and transport the rock in a bucket of SW to minimize exposure to air.40g SW
Live Rock / Filter advice
I went to a local shop and spoke to a very helpful and knowledgeable guy about live rock. He suggested that I could add live rock to my tank with no concern for negative effects. His suggestion for my 55 gal. was 25 pounds which differs from what I had heard by about half. He also suggested removing my Penguin 330 hang on filter saying it probably does more harm than good in saltwater. He even stated that without live rock he would remove the hang on and just add more powerhead for water movement. Does this advice make sense to you ?
Half of his advice makes sense, the second half. First of all, if you add live rock to a tank that is already running, it needs to be fully cured when added and it should be kept submerged from the time of purchase to the time it is introduced to the tank to prevent die-off. The Die-off would produce ammonia in your tank and if you already have fish that would be a bad thing. The second problem I see is the recommended amount. 25 pounds isn't even half of what you should have. To recommend anything less than 1 pound per gallon is just plain bad advice. Your 55 should have at least 55 pounds and 75 would be more like it. The removal of the HOB filter is smart and the addition of powerheads is a good idea. The HOB is contributing to evaporation, and with the addition of live rock it would lead to a excessive of nitrates.Considering a Marine Aquarium?

Thanks so much. I've read numerous postings here from you and you are extremely helpful. At $8-10 per pound I would need to add rock slowly. I have 3 fish and the tank has been running for 8 months. I won't add anymore fish until I settle this filtration decision. Since it will take me awhile to add the required amount of rock, what do you think of his suggestion to still remove the filter and just have the powerheads ? I do have a protein skimmer also.

Lectures on the Orbit Method - A A Kirillov
A (Terse) Introduction to Lebesgue Integration - John Franks
Very roughly speaking, representation theory studies symmetry in linear spaces. It is a beautiful mathematical subject which has many applications, ranging from number theory and combinatorics to geometry, probability theory, quantum mechanics, and quantum field theory.
The goal of this book is to give a "holistic" introduction to representation theory, presenting it as a unified subject which studies representations of associative algebras and treating the representation theories of groups, Lie algebras, and quivers as special cases. Using this approach, the book covers a number of standard topics in the representation theories of these structures. Theoretical material in the book is supplemented by many problems and exercises which touch upon a lot of additional topics; the more difficult exercises are provided with hints.
The book is designed as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It should be accessible to students with a strong background in linear algebra and a basic knowledge of abstract algebra.
Request an examination or desk copy.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in algebra and representation theory.
"This charming book ... the material in the book is quite modern, the unifying theme being the representation theory of associative algebras, and the presentation is very accessible. ...It is a truly wonderful achievement. The book is well-written, sportingly paced, and brims with mathematical elegance: the prose is clear and tight and the proofs are compact and pretty."
-- MAA Reviews
"The book gives a concise introduction to various aspects of representation theory. It is an interesting addition to the existing literature on the subject."
-- Mathematical Reviews
"Add to this the sets of problems included in the book, replete with occasional hints and estimates of the degree of difficulty, as well as the wonderful 'Historical Interludes' by Slava Gerovitch, and the result is a fantastic little book. I think it is bound to become the way to get into this subject 'holistically.'"

By Leah Barbour/Mississippi State University
STARKVILLE, Miss.– The story of Abraham Lincoln's and Ulysses S. Grant's leadership in the face of dissent is just as relevant in modern times as it was 150 years ago.
Civil War historian and author Frank J. Williams discussed the presidents' governing styles at Thursday's installment of Mississippi State University's Morris W. H. "Bill" Collins Speaker Series.
When Lincoln and Grant pushed states to grant equal rights to all citizens, they faced opposition, Williams said. Still, they embraced a vision of America where people, through hard work and service, can create better lives for themselves and thereby make the United States the greatest country in the world.
Williams emphasized unity, equality, justice and freedom as the ideals on which both Lincoln and Grant based their policies.
Those qualities spurred President Lincoln to action when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and when he pushed for the 1865 passage of the 13th Amendment to formally abolish slavery, Williams said.
Those same values impelled President Ulysses S. Grant to advocate the 1869 ratification of the 15th Amendment to prohibit states from denying the right to vote based on race or color, according to Williams.
Students, faculty and staff gathered to listen to Williams, a Rhode Island native, who, in addition to publishing several Civil War studies, was a longtime jurist in the Rhode Island court system and chief justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. Now retired, he continues to chair the Lincoln Forum and is president of the Ulysses S. Grant Association.
Williams, named the 2007 Jurist of the Year by the Pre-Law Society of MSU, presented "Two Heroes Then & Now: Abraham Lincoln & Ulysses S. Grant" to the MSU crowd. He said speaking at the university is fitting because MSU Libraries houses the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library.
Williams emphasized that MSU is the perfect place and has the resources to maintain Grant's historical documents, and modern lessons can be derived from Grant's example, as well as Lincoln's.
"Grant and Lincoln both fall within a certain category of unlikely heroes," Williams said. "They viewed every action as an opportunity, rather than a defeat. The status quo would not do."
He explained how Lincoln's and Grant's ability to face challenges even when their positions were unpopular is the same example of heroism that Americans young and old should embrace.
"When we think of the hero, we think of the Every Man, the ordinary person who is called upon to do extraordinary things," Williams said. "We think of a person whose spirit rises above adversity in the name of justice and right. We think of the person who not only strives for social change — and people resist change as we all know — but (who) also seeks to inspire people to accept change.
"Abraham Lincoln, a self-educated prairie boy who picked himself up by the bootstraps and made an enduring name for himself, is just such a person."
Williams encouraged attendees, especially the MSU students, to embrace the right to rise, by benefitting from their own hard work and becoming the next generation of leaders. He asked the crowd, what are their plans to make America the single greatest nation in the history of humanity?
"For our republic to prosper, it needs your commitment, your political courage and the fire that burns in your belly, and if, like Lincoln and Grant, you make mistakes, which all of us do, there is, in this great nation, redemption and forgiveness," he said. "The possibility of failure should never deter you, for you will lose out on the sweetest part of this dream."
That dream is to reap the advantages of industriousness and productivity, and it only becomes a reality when people have an equal chance to achieve.
"The idea is synonymous with the idea of America, that all men are created equal," he said.
Williams's visit was sponsored by MSU Libraries Congressional & Political Research Center, John C. Stennis Institute of Government, Stennis Center for Public Service and Stennis Montgomery Association.

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.
Charge of the Dark Brigade
Opening day brings many opportunities, such as the chance to reunite with old friends and chat a bit in the turkey woods.
That's what my buddy and I were doing as we walked along a logging road in the pre-dawn darkness. But when you're talking and getting reacquainted, of course, you're not paying attention to your surroundings. So when my buddy looked up and suddenly stopped, I knew it wasn't good.
"Is that a turkey right there in that tree?" he said.
I couldn't tell, but it was definitely a dark blob about 60 yards away. Through the years I'd hunted that property, I'd never seen or heard turkeys roost in that spot, but I knew that didn't mean much. After my eyes adjusted a bit and I saw two or three more dark blobs in another tree, I figured we'd pretty much stumbled into a roost.
It was dark enough that the birds hadn't spooked, but now we had a dilemma: Should we sit down, stay still and hope for the best? The birds couldn't see us yet, so it was possible they could fly down in our laps. Or was it better to ease out of the area, set up farther away and let the birds settle down?
Darkness wouldn't hold on forever, so we had to pick a strategy and go with it.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

As I have returned to running in the past few weeks (with a minor flu induced setback), I anticipated it would be like starting all over again. In some ways it is, but in many ways it is not - it is just different. It did not take much to bring back my aerobic fitness, and the muscle memory in my legs has allowed a return to running fairly quickly. What does take time is rebuilding the base – getting to the point where it all feels completely normal (using the extremely skewed view of the ultra runners "normal"). I also need to work on rebuilding my anaerobic threshold. I've never been one for doing a lot of speed work; typically choosing distance over speed. However, it is important for overall fitness and does have benefits for racing longer distances, so I am going to have to devote some time to pushing that threshold back a little further. Hill repeats, fartleks and I may even hit the track once in a while:)
Mentally it has been tough to get back into the groove as well; trying to overcome the thoughts of injury or becoming re-injured It is often hard to distinguish the difference between soreness and real pain and then interpreting what that pain is telling your body. Do you need rest or stretching? Or maybe it is just the body adjusting to the training? Maybe it is just paranoia? Prior to being injured these thoughts rarely entered my mind – I just went out and ran. Now I think about them quite a bit and I imagine I will continue to until I run a race again, which always has a way of changing perspectives.
I am beginning to think of racing in 2013, but will not nail down a schedule until I am a little more comfortable with my fitness and training. Now that races seem to fill-up in a matter of minutes I will likely not have a lot of choice anyway. I am on the wait-list for MMT and have a pretty good shot at getting in, so hopefully I will be able to return to run on the rocks;) I also will be running local races as part of the PR Racing Team. So if you are in the D.C. area you will start seeing me again on the weekends - foolishly trying to keep up at the short distances with the fast boys.

Q: What inspired this collection?
A: Seascapes is inspired by our lives by the sea, that exists only in my imagination! We live in rural Ohio and although it is beautiful, there is something calming and rejuvenating about being in a place with water. The blues and greens of the water and the wonderful sounds of the tide are so relaxing! We have always wanted to live by the sea (or a river or lake), so "Seascapes" is inspired by that life by the water that my family dreams of.
A: Barb of Coach House Designs, has created 3 beautiful quilts using "Seascapes" and I love all three! By the Sea, Marina and Waves are such gorgeous patterns. She does a wonderful job and has created wonderful quilts that would definitely be in our "dream house by the sea."
Q: What would be your collection's theme song?
A: Probably, "Sitting by the Dock of the Bay," by Otis Redding. It reminds me of a beautiful day by the water, with nothing to do but enjoy the sound of the waves, the sun and maybe a good book.
Q: If you could live in a movie, what movie would it be?
A: If I could live in a movie, it would have to be "Eat, Pray, Love" but I would want to take my family with me. I love to travel and want to see all of the beautiful places in the movie. I love food and that was a BIG part of the film. If my family were with me, we could share all of the adventures and have those memories forever!
Q: What do you get nostalgic over?
A: The holidays make me nostalgic in a heartwarming way. I remember past holidays, spent with family, eating huge meals and then laughing and sharing as we washed the mountain of dishes after. I cherish loved ones who have past and new additions to the family during these times. The holidays remind me of all the happy moments that I have had and to treasure the memories of them.
Q: What is your favorite TV show of all time?
A: It has to be "Modern Family"! I laugh out loud during the whole thing and love the spirit of the family. They love and support each other always.
For little more calming inspiration and to see Deb's original artwork that became Seascapes watch our interview from Fall Quilt Market 2012!

Help K-9 Benny. The FOP (Queen Anne's County, MD) is accepting donations to help a Deputy purchase his K-9 partner. DFC Boyles was injured in the line of duty and is unable to return to full duty at this time. The QA Sheriff's Office administration is willing to retire his K-9 partner Benny to Boyles for a fee of $2000.00. Boyles has until July 1 to pay the $2000.00.
If you would like to make a donation to help assist in keeping Boyles and Benny together, please send donations to;
Attn K-9 Benny
FOP Lodge 108
PO Box 695
Centreville MD 21617Any questions or concerns please call President Kempel at 410-490-6186
As all of us know, our canine "partners" are more than just dogs, they are a part of us. DFC Boyles and K9 Officer Benny are a part of each other. They have been with each other continuously and it would be a shame for them to be separated due to DFC Boyles' injury. If you can make a donation, small or large, it would be greatly appreciated I am sure. There is only a short amount of time for the monies to be raised, so if you can help, please do it quickly.
Thanks so much.
