Vegetable Lasagna
1 box lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 (8-ounce) package white mushrooms, chopped
2 yellow squash, diced
2 zucchini, diced
Salt and pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (24-ounce) jar red pasta sauce
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
2 (15-ounce) containers lowfat or skim Ricotta cheese
1 egg
1⁄2 cup Mozzarella cheese
Extra Parmesan or Mozzarella for sprinkling
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 1 minute. Add diced red peppers and sauté another minute or so. Add mushrooms, squash and zucchini and cook for a few minutes more. Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic powder and stir.
Add pasta sauce, stir to combine and let simmer about 20 minutes. Let some of the liquid cook off so the sauce won't be overly soupy. Stir in parsley and basil.
In a separate bowl, combine Ricotta, egg, Mozzarella and additional salt and pepper, if desired.
To assemble, spread a little of the vegetable/tomato sauce in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch lasagna pan. Place a layer of cooked noodles on top. Spread 1⁄3 of the Ricotta mixture on the noodles, spreading it evenly. Spread a little less than 1⁄3 of the vegetable/tomato sauce mixture over the Ricotta layer. Repeat the layers two more times. End with a large helping of the vegetable/tomato sauce and a sprinkling of cheese.
Cover pan with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Stir in cumin and oregano and cook several minutes. Add tomatoes, salsa, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes Stir in black beans and chicken and heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Spread 1⁄3 of the chicken and bean mixture into the bottom of a 31⁄2-quart casserole. Top with 4 to 5 of the tortillas and half of the cheese. Add another third of the chicken mixture and top with 4 to 5 tortillas. Put the final third of the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas. Top with remaining cheese. Cover and bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until edges are bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

An Internet service offering to link, for a fee, lawyers with potential clients who have posted details of their cases and another offering a chat service for lawyers to answer questions from potential clients are both referral services, according to the Bar's Standing Committee on Advertising.
The committee at its January 10 meeting reviewed those and other advertising issues. The lawyer referral actions came as the Bar Board of Governors is waiting for a report on recommendations from a special committee to tighten regulations on referral services and their lawyer members.
Under current rules, a Bar member cannot belong to a referral service that does not follow Bar rules. Those rules include filing quarterly reports with the Bar showing a list of participating members, following Bar rules on solicitation of potential clients, and following Bar advertising regulations.
The cases before the standing committee showed how technology is changing the way referral services are operating.
In one case, EagleFee.com is promoting a website for personal injury cases. It allows potential clients to post details about their cases and then offer to represent the clients by paying $25 per offer.
The committee determined that promotion constitutes a referral service under Bar Rule 4-7.10 and that Bar members cannot participate unless EagleFee follows Bar rules.
In the second case, Edviso.com offers a chance for lawyers to make themselves available for video chats for persons with legal questions. The committee advised that, based on the information it had, Edviso's proposed operations constitute a referral service. The committee also noted that if Edviso does want to operate as a referral service in Florida, the use of the word "expert" in its ads would cause problems. Under Bar rules, only certified lawyers can refer to themselves as experts in ads.
On other issues, the committee set February 5 for a special meeting to discuss a proposed advisory opinion on the use of metatags and hidden text in attorney online advertising and on endorsements on the LinkedIn professional networking site.

Loan Forgiveness Programs
By Elisa Kronish
June 05, 2007
Are your student loans piling up? Depending on your future plans, you may be able to find relief. Loan forgiveness programs can help by canceling some, or all, of you debt in exchange for some type of public service.
Low-income School Programs
There are several federal loan forgiveness programs designed for students who become full-time teachers in elementary or secondary schools that serve low-income communities. For example, Perkins Loan borrowers can have up to 100 percent of their loan canceled over a five-year period — 15 percent for the first and second years of teaching, 20 percent for the third and fourth, and 30 percent for the fifth.
Federal Stafford Loan borrowers after October 1, 1998, can cancel up to $5,000 if they work for five consecutive years in an approved school. Certain math, science and special education teachers may be eligible for up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness. Contact your state education agency or school district to find out which schools are eligible.
Targeted Teaching Programs
Federal Perkins Loan borrowers can also have their loans canceled for full-time teaching in a subject area that has a shortage of teachers. This typically focuses on subjects such as science, foreign languages, special education and math. The portions forgiven are equal to the portions for the Perkins low-income school program. Check your local school system or state education agency to find out if your subject area has a teacher shortage.
Child-Care Provider Programs
Similar to the teacher program, you must work full-time as a child-care provider in a facility that serves low-income families in order to receive loan forgiveness. After meeting other qualifications, you might be eligible to have 100 percent of your Direct Loan and/or Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program loan forgiven. Assistance begins after two years consecutive employment. Look for the Child Care Provider Loan Forgiveness Application at your school's financial aid office.
Need money to pay for college?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants and awards for which they actually qualify. Sign up today to get started. You'll find scholarships like the Course Hero's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship.

. If you like the Viking blood line and you are looking for a stud dog with all the right combination of looks, intelligence, retrieving style and talent, excellent marking ability, trainability and unparalleled drive - then you just found it !!!! Colt is 85lbs. of hard charging, take no prisoners, never quit attitude (just like his namesake 'ole "Blood & Guts himself"). He hits the water like a torpedo seeking out its next target and he has a vertical jump that would make even Kobe jealous. He has never laid down on me once during a hunt and I am usually the one ready to go home before him. He has hunted Texas and all of the surrounding states which consist of prairie and rice fields, pot holes, flooded timber, bay and marshes, and upland fields. His retrieving bag consists of not only ducks, geese and sandhill cranes, but also dove, quail, pheasant and chucker.
Colt was sired by AFC Hawkeye's Viking and has many other field champions in his blood line. His three generation pedigree is viewable on the stud page. Colt is highly intelligent and very well socialized and his hunting skills are only matched by his eagerness to please. He is just as comfortable at home playing with my two year old in the back yard as he is in the fields retrieving birds
Below are some of Colt's accomplishments :
His stud fee is $650. visit his website for more info www.airborneretrievers.com
- UKC: 2X Hunting Retrieving Champion
- UKC: Currently has 1 HRC Grand Pass (2010 Spring Grand / Louisiana)

Trump Is Suing Maher Over $5M Birth Certificate Bet on 'Tonight Show'
Monday, 04 Feb 2013 11:19 AM
By Alexandra Ward
Business mogul Donald Trump said Monday he plans to follow through with his promise to sue Bill Maher for $5 million for charity after the liberal comic failed to follow through on a public bet made last month.
"He promised me $5 million for charity if I provided certain information," Trump said Monday on Fox News' "Fox & Friends." "Well, I provided the information. He didnt pay. So today I sue Bill Maher for $5 million for charity."
The host of HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" told Jay Leno during a January "Tonight Show" appearance that he was disappointed that Trump never released his own birth certificate, as the real estate mogul made such a big deal over President Barack Obama's parentage.
In light of Trump's $5 million offer to Obama to release his college records, Maher quipped that he would pay Trump $5 million to prove that he is not, as Maher put it, the spawn of a monkey.
Trumps attorney Scott S. Balber released a letter following Mahers comments and attached a copy of Trumps birth certificate as proof, according to Politico.
"Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trumps birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan," Balber wrote in the letter.
The letter also designated the five charities Maher's $5 million is to go to: Hurricane Sandy Victims, the Police Athletic League, the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Trump voiced his feelings about the bet on Twitter after Maher's "Tonight Show" appearance.

Another shot i'm really happy I finally got after several delays and false starts kept me from actually photographing the marine stadium.
The Miami Marine Stadium was built in 1963 on Virginia Key, used throughout the 60s and 70s for powerboat races and rock concerts, etc. By the early 90s the place needed serious renovation and was condemned in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew. The entire thing is now covered top to bottom in graffiti.
I don't think, technically, it was trespassing...my friends and I didn't hop any fences and weren't asked to leave. Take note of the piece with 2010 written on it-- it's less than 4 days old.
Check out the wikipedia article on the site here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Marine_Stadium
And an attempt to rehab/renovate the stadium: www.marinestadium.org /
Update: As of April 8, 2010, the Miami-Dade Commission has approved $3 million to go toward rehabbing the stadium. Like a lot of the locations I shoot, it's just the natural life cycle of a graffiti penit...

It has been a few years since I played around with java so it is nice to be back. I am trying to write a plug-in for
WebProxy that will automate cookie collection and analysis. During this I found a place where I wanted to copy an object, so being from a C++ school of thought, I figured a copy constructor. I did a google search and found an interesting article arguing that in Java instead of a copy constructor one should implement the cloneable interface. It turns out that is interface is supported by Object, so that all one has to do is make a public method that calls the super.clone(). Wham, you have a copy. Simple, elegant, and easy. Now if the the rest of the API was only clean.
The Bunker
So my friend Lock now has the server that we will ship off to The Bunker. It is a dual proc 1U with two SCSI 3 drives. I believe he set it up to be a ~76G RAID 0 array. As of today it has FreeBSD and
all the packages we need, so hopefully we can ship it across
the pond by the end of the week. :) Today will be spent locking it down so that when it finally gets net access we won't get hacked in the first 30 seconds. We need to install tripwire before we ship it too.. Can't forget that. I am quite excited to finally have a secure box in a secure location. As soon as its up, we can put a remailer on it. And maybe a Tarzan node if they release the source.
I read the Tarzan white paper over the past few days. Since Def Con I have been thinking about this stuff a lot. Roger Dingledine has made me really pessimistic about anonymity, of course he has
chosen the toughest possible threat model. It seems to me that what Tarzan offers us is a leap ahead of everything else, but still won't satisfy Roger. The basic problem is that traffic analysis is still possible, and over time, it will work. Having said that, this system seems to do well against many forms of attacks. It assumes that every node has global knowledge of the node network, which allows them to do some interesting things. I still think that active attacks using DOS will be possible. But this system is a lot better than anything I can run at the moment. So that makes me happy. Still, it would be nice to get provable security. (Though that may be impossible.) Maybe using Palladium to ensure nodes can not be malicious will give us a boost. But even if you can guarantee that active attacks by nodes are impossible there is still traffic analysis. It seems to be that traffic analysis is like brute force, it always wins.
At lunch I am going to go down the street and see if the local T-Mobil store has the new Sidekick for sale. This is simply the Danger hip-top renamed. I like the fact that it has unlimited data sending, and since my company pays for my cell phone now, I figure I might as well try this thing out. So I am going to go and see if its really as cool as it looks, if it is, expect me to post a review.

I mean, sometimes, if I don't have a rope or if I don't have space, I might do a 30-minute routine that includes a minute of jumping jacks alternating with a minute of pushups, or however many you can do, and then some sit-ups.

Sentinel providers report the total number of patient visits each week and number of patient visits for influenza-like illness by age group (0-4 years, 5-24 years, 25-64 years, >65 years). These data are transmitted once a week via the Internet, a touch-tone telephone, or fax. Most providers report that it takes them less than 30 minutes a week to compile and report their data. In addition, sentinel providers can submit specimens from a subset of patients for virus isolation free of charge.
Providers of any specialty (e.g., family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, infectious diseases) in any type of practice (e.g., private practice, public health clinic, urgent care center, emergency room, university student health center) are eligible to be sentinel providers. In addition, sentinel providers may be physicians, nurse practitioners or physician assistants.

Nobel Winning Economist Calls Minneapolis Fed Shakeup 'Crazy'
The shakeup at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis research department hasn't been shocking only to the people out of a job.
Nobel-Prize winning economist Edward Prescott called bank President Narayana Kocherlakota's decision to dismiss top researchers "crazy."
"Rationalizing the behavior of the president I find impossible," said Mr. Prescott, a professor at Arizona State University and a senior monetary adviser at the Minneapolis Fed.
Last month, the bank fired economist Patrick Kehoe and demoted Kei-Mu Yi from his position as senior vice president and research director to a job as special policy adviser. Monetary adviser Ellen McGrattan won't be retained when her contract comes up for renewal.
The moves upset some of the bank's economists and led to questions about Mr. Kocherlakota's vision for the research department.
A spokeswoman for the Minneapolis Fed last week declined to comment on the matter and didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.
One theory for the change was a philosophical split after Mr. Kocherlakota in 2012 began calling for more aggressive Fed action to spur the economy following a shift in his views on the cause of high unemployment. He went from thinking the cause was largely structural (and thus could not be fixed with monetary policy) to thinking it was largely due to weak demand (which means it could be addressed through policies aimed at boosting demand).
Mr. Prescott said he doesn't think different economic views caused a rift, though he doesn't know why Mr. Kocherlakota is replacing his top researchers.
"He doesn't talk to people," Mr. Prescott said.
Mr. Prescott in 2004 shared the Nobel Prize with economist Finn Kydland for work showing "that society could gain from prior commitment to economic policy" and introducing "new ideas about economic policy design and the driving forces behind business cycles," according to the prize committee.
Mr. Prescott called himself lucky to work during a "golden age of economics" and credited Ms. McGrattan with helping to develop major innovations in the field. The two co-authored several papers, including one recent examination of labor productivity during broader business cycles.
The Minneapolis Fed and the closely affiliated University of Minnesota are considered among the nation's top research institutions. Economists Thomas Sargent and Christopher Sims jointly won a Nobel in 2011 based in part on research the two conducted at the Fed and the university. Robert Lucas, a University of Chicago professor who won the Nobel in 1995, is a consultant at the Minneapolis Fed.
Mr. Prescott added that he hopes the research department "regains its greatness" but he worries that Mr. Kocherlakota may be destroying it.
"I fear he is. I think he wants to rebuild something that is identified with Narayana Kocherlakota," Mr. Prescott said.

Uploading more tab images more conveniently
Using the Project Editor, the way in which one must upload a picture to the more tab from within an experiment is misleading. If one would like to upload an image to the more tab, they must do so from an experiment within the project. This shouldn't be like this because more tab photos do not necessarily have to do with a single experiment.
Images being uploaded to the more tab should be uploaded at the project level because the photos that are located in the more tab are relevent to the whole project and usualy cannot be categorized to a single experiment.

Graves to be recognized as 'Indiana Living Legend'
Posted June 14, 2002; 10:17 a.m.
Graves, the Robert Schirmer Professor of Architecture Emeritus, will be recognized as an "Indiana Living Legend" by the Indiana Historical Society in ceremonies July 26.
Graves, who was born in Indianapolis, joined the Princeton faculty in 1962. Over the next four decades, he built an international reputation as an architect and designer. His designs, from office buildings to single-family homes, have been credited with introducing historical and contextual themes into modern architecture. His designs for furniture and household items, now sold in national retail stores, have helped bring a higher level of design to everyday objects.
Graves is a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, which awarded him its highest honor, the AIA Gold Medal, in 2001.

Academic Advising
Undergraduate Advising
Residential college deans and directors of studies provide guidance and support for students throughout their undergraduate careers.
In their freshman and sophomore years, A.B. students receive regular academic guidance from faculty advisers as well as from the deans, directors of studies and peer advisers in the residential colleges.
The undergraduate advising program for B.S.E. students involves many engineering faculty members, who serve as advisers to first-year students enrolled in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
As students select a field of concentration they develop advising relationships with the relevant departmental representatives and faculty advisers in the areas of their independent work. A.B. students normally select a major in the spring term of their sophomore year. B.S.E students normally select a field of study within engineering in the spring term of their freshman year.
For juniors and seniors, residential college deans and directors of studies provide guidance and support regarding matters not specific to the major.
Additionally, the Office of Undergraduate Research advises on independent work and connects students to University resources, and the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning offers support programs such as tutoring and mentoring.

Our new C++ library is pretty much complete. We now have a simple, clear and uniform means of performing a host of activities in C++. We even added an easy-to-use CGI and Fast CGI framework that makes writing C++ CGI interfaces a snap. I've created a few already and, to date, it's been quicker to develop than using the Perl CGI module - it has support for forms, cookies, sessions and a templating engine.
A lot of the library's success is due to reuse of existing components, a few previously developed internally but most created by third parties. Notable support libs include the previously mentioned MySQL CPP API, and the absolutely incredible BOOST library.
I don't think I can overemphasize how useful boost has been to Psychogenic. To date, I've been using (in no particular order) the regular expression, the smart pointer, the generic graph, concept check and tuple components. And those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head! I am still enjoying periodically visiting the boost library list - if you're into C++ and don't know boost, I suggest you go have a look and read up on the first component that strikes your fancy; chances are it will eventually be useful.

Summer/Autumn 2013Catalog update: May 15, 2013
Access archived catalogs in the Catalog Archive section.
Students are required to follow the Academic Handbook and Code of Student Responsibility
The BS in Computer Game Development prepares students to work in the multi-disciplinary field of computer gaming and interactive media. Students specialize in either game design or game programming, but all students work in cross-disciplinary teams to design and develop games.
A game designer conceives and crafts the rules, structure and experience of a game. The game design concentration equips students to become the next generation of creative leaders in the growing field of games. Throughout the program students will explore and push the boundaries of games as expressive and artistic media. They will develop skills for each phase of the game design and development cycle including ideation, iteration through the creation of multiple playable game builds (including prototypes), and reflection on the effectiveness of their designs using playtesting and written evaluations. Students will also develop skills and confidence in reading, writing, and modifying computer programs and scripts. Students will collaborate in interdisciplinary teams with programmers, artists, producers, writers, and audio designers. This concentration has an emphasis on building a portfolio of games and advancing the medium of games through experimentation and innovation.
Students in this concentration engage in the rigorous study of computer science basics, and then apply this knowledge to the demanding specialization of game programming. Gameplay programmers bring their technical understanding of game internals to the problem of delivering engaging game experiences to players. Areas of study include level design, game scripting, computer graphics development, game physics, and artificial intelligence programming.
The systems programming concentration emphasizes the internals of a game – the game engine and other systems that make a modern games possible. In addition to computer science fundamentals, students in this concentration cover additional topics in computer hardware and operating systems essential to developing game engines.

BW073: Search for the Clubultimate!
Redirected from BW073: Searching for the Clubultimate!
this wiki
Searching for the Clubultimate! (どんどん続くよドンナマイト!クリムガンVSキリキザン!! Steadily Progressing Donamite! Druddigon VS Bisharp!!) is the 23rd episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
The Clubsplosion goes underway as the first round continues with Stephan, Cilan and Ash winning and advancing to the next round. Next up is Iris vs. Burgundy, followed by a match between siblings Betty and Getty, a dream match of Georgia and Bisharp vs. Gale, who has a Druddigon, the reigning champ Montgomery and his Throh vs. Delbert and his Mienshao, and finally, Trip and Conkeldurr vs. Bianca and her newly evolved Emboar. Who will come out on top and advance to the quarter-finals? The Match-Ups of Round 1 continues now!
Episode Plot
Iris' Excadrill is about to battle Burgundy's Dewott. Cilan wonders which strategy will Burgundy utilize, but Ash has hope in Iris winning. Burgundy thinks Iris is but an obstacle, for she considers Cilan a true rival. Dewott uses Ice Beam, which Excadrill dodges and blocks additional attacks. Don George thinks Excadrill is a tough Pokémon. Cilan thinks this will be a difficult match. Georgia wants Iris to win so Georgia can beat her. Bianca pokes Scraggy, wanting to check his muscles, being a Fighting-type Pokémon. However, Scraggy is too annoyed and headbutts Bianca, who releases him from her grasp. Dewott uses Water Pulse, so Excadrill digs in to dodge the attack. However, Dewott launches Water Pulse into the hole, hitting Excadrill, who is launched out of the ground.
Dewott uses Razor Shell, but is countered by Excadrill's Focus Blast. Trip took shots of Dewott and Excadrill battling, planning on his next moves. Montgomery, however, dismisses them, for he is confident he will defeat any of them. Burgundy claims Iris' strategy is weak and boring. Excadrill uses Drill Run, though Dewott blocks him with its scalchop. However, it is too much for it and dodges the attack. Excadrill uses Metal Claw, so Dewott blocks the attacks. Georgia admits Iris has gotten much stronger, enough to give her a battle. Cilan thinks it is true, but wonders why isn't Dewott fighting back. Burgundy claims Iris should switch her Pokémon, making Iris annoyed, as Burgundy declares Revenge.
Deowtt uses Revenge, hitting Excadrill. Burgundy claims Dewott perfected the attack to have her revenge on Cilan. Dewott uses Razor Shell, picking its scalchop from the ground, but is countered by Excadrill's Drill Run. Excadrill uses Focus Blast, so Dewott counters it with Ice Beam. However, the attack still continues, hitting Dewott and knocking it down. Excadrill digs and hits Dewott, defeating it with Drill Run. Cilan admits Burgundy is stronger than before, but requires something else to win. Don George announces everyone to go to the Pokémon Center for lunch, for the battles will continue afternoon. Later, Burgundy still promises she will defeat Cilan next time they meet, along with Iris. Georgia claims she will be the one to defeat Iris, who reminds her she needs to pass the first round.
Trip passes by and lets Ash know even if Scraggy won the battle and learned Focus Blast, he is not quite accurate, considering him low class. Ash is insulted, so trains with Scraggy a bit. Scraggy uses Focus Blast on the target, but each time he misses. Stephan and Sawk appear, offering Ash to be his training partners, since they should train before their battle. Ash accepts, though Bianca appears and studies Sawk's and Stephan's muscles. She declares Stephan to be the most muscular Pokémon, but Stephan replies she got his name wrong and he is not even a Pokémon. They all go to see the afternoon matches, though Montgomery calls them amatures, as his Throh throws a punching bag into the sky.
Betty's Simipour uses Low Sweep on Getty's Simisear and passes to next round. Next are Gale and her Druddigon against Georgia and her Bisharp. Georgia tells Iris she can't wait to humiliate Iris in the battle, but Iris replies she should focus on winning the first battle. Druddigon uses Dragon Claw on Bisharp, followed with Dragon Tail, though Bisharp dodges. Bisharp produces Metal Sound, followed with Iron Head, which defeats Druddigon. The heroes admit Pawniard did get stronger after evolving into Bisharp. Next are Montgomery and Throh against Delberd and Mienshao. Mienshao uses Pound, but Throh simply dodges. Mienshao uses High Jump Kick, though Throh uses Superpower, throwing Mienshao away. Throh follows it using Seismic Toss and defeats Mienshao using Circle Throw.
Don George thinks Montgomery is the lead trainer. After Montgomery leaves, last challengers are Bianca and Emboar vs. Trip and Conkeldurr. However, Bianca runs to the stadium, since she was checking Mienshao's muscles, but trips over. Still, she is ready to battle. Emboar starts with Arm Thrust, though Conkeldurr blocks the attack. Emboar uses Hammer Arm, though is blocked once more. Emboar tries with Flamethrower, though the attack is deflected once more. Conkeldurr bulks up and retaliates with Strength. Emboar jumps, but is hit and knocked down. Emboar stands up, though is encased in Rock Tomb. Emboar uses Arm Thrust to push the boulders away, but is too exhausted. Conkeldurr uses Stone Edge, intending on defeating Emboar, which makes Bianca scream and yell.
Who's that Pokémon? US: Mienshao
Conkeldurr's nose was the same color of its skin when it was using Stone Edge on Bianca's Emboar.

Santa Rosa, CA February 27, 2014 – Liquid Image Co., LLC is proud to announce that the Chase Toys Snowmobile team finished 8th out of 48 teams in the annual Iron Dog Race that took place on February 16th in the Alaskan Backcountry.
The Iron Dog Race is known as the world's longest and toughest snowmobile race covering over 2,000 miles across Alaska in seven days. Liquid Image was proud to sponsor the Chase Toys riders, Tim Lessard and Chad Dow from Fairfield, Maine. This was Lessard and Dow's first Iron Dog Race and they were one of the few non-Alaskan teams to finish in the top 10. The duo was named "Top Rookie Team of the Year" with a final time of 42:15:09.
"Living so far away from the actual event was a huge challenge. We didn't know what to expect, so we trained for all different types of terrain," said Chase Toys racer, Chad Dow. "The course ended up being extremely difficult. It was not groomed and there was very low snow this year, at some points we were racing on rock hard ground."
Besides the harsh terrain, the rookie team also had to battle the Alaskan climate. With below freezing temperatures and very little shelter at night, some teams were unable to finish the race. Dehydration is always a factor during the Iron Dog and Lessard and Dow had to train their bodies to survive in such a climate prior
to the race. Although the two Snowmobile stars from Maine are unsure if they will compete again next year, they are very proud of their accomplishments and thankful to all their sponsors.
Chase Toys is a Ski-doo dealership in Unity, Maine and has been in business since 1967, family owned and operated by Josh Miville. See videos of Lessard and Dow's race on their Facebook page.

Main Card
Giga Chikadze (R3 - Unanimous Dec.) Evgeniy Kurovskoy - Giga pretty much dominated this fight, Evgeniy got dropped by a beautiful right hook in the first round, and got tagged with a big knee in the second. The third he rallied a bit, but simply could not come back.
Frank Pareces Vilches (R3 - Unanimous Dec.) Robert van Nimwegen - I missed literally the entire fight to buffering.
Hafid el Boustati (R3 - Dec.) Mohammed Medhar - From what I saw, el Boustati was picking Medhar apart.
Sahak Parparyan (It's Showtime 85MAX World Title Fight) (R5 - Dec.) Amir Zeyada - Crazy fight, back and forth with really great combinations from both men. It was very hard to pick a winner in this fight, Zeyada was a lot bigger and stronger, but Parparyan stayed calm and weathered every storm and had more clean connections.
Mohammed Khamal (R3 - Dec.) Robin van Roosmalen - Wow. Watch this fight. This is what stand up battles should look like, both guys were going tooth and nail for all three rounds, made you wish it were a 5 round bout.
Hesdy Gerges (R2 - KO) Chris Knowles - Knowles had some heart, took a lot of shots in the first round, but in the second round couldn't handle Gerges's power. Right hook, right uppercut, left knee to the face and a hook to finish it and Knowles was DOWN for a solid 20 seconds.

Family: Phyllostomidae, New World Fruit Bats view all from this family
Description The only leaf-nosed bat occurring in Texas, this species may overlap with the Lesser Long-nosed Bat in New Mexico, where it differs by being larger, with grayish fur, a wider tail membrane and shorter wings. Forearm 56-60mm.
Dimensions 76-88mm, no tail, 18-30g
Endangered Status The Mexican Long-nosed Bat is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in New Mexico and Texas. This bat has suffered from human disturbance and alterations of the caves and mines where it roosts, as well as the general habitat degradation that accompanies human settlement and development of a region. There may have been a decline in the availability some of the plants this bat feeds on both in its Mexico and U.S. home ranges as well as along migration routes.
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Canyons & caves, Forests & woodlands
Range Texas
Discussion Emory Peak Cave in Big Bend National Park has housed as many as 10,000 of these bats in mid-summer. The Mexican Long-nosed Bat is classified as an Endangered species; its migratory movements, specialized feeding, and roosting habits make it a conservation risk.

Steamboat Springs All Crimes Enforcement Team Cmdr. Garrett Wiggins is withdrawing his candidacy for Routt County sheriff because of concerns about possible Hatch Act violations. However, Wiggins plans to re-enter the race as soon as next week once his office wraps up spending of the federal COPS grant that is the source of the potential Hatch Act conflict.
Wiggins has been looking into the legitimacy of his candidacy for the past couple of weeks, since the Hatch Act was brought up in Moffat County as a potential roadblock to some candidacies there.
The federal Hatch Act was enacted in 1939 to prevent federal employees from taking part in partisan political activity for the purpose of ensuring that government institutions function fairly. It was extended in 1940 to include state and local employees. The Hatch Act has been interpreted to prevent federal employees from running for partisan office in most cases.
According to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency that oversees the Hatch Act, "The Hatch Act restricts the political activity of individuals principally employed by state or local executive agencies and who work in connection with programs financed in whole or in part by federal loans or grants."
ACET is in year three of receiving a federal COPS grant, which is given to the city of Craig and Craig Police Department and then passed on to ACET. Wiggins said the COPS grant is the only federal funding his office receives.
ACET primarily is funded through several local law enforcement agencies. Wiggins' salary is paid by the Steamboat Springs Police Department, and he is listed as an employee of that department. Other agencies, including the Moffat County Sheriff's Office and Craig Police Department, contribute to ACET's operational expenses.
Although Wiggins said his attorneys don't think his candidacy violates the Hatch Act, he is withdrawing to avoid controversy and squash any future allegations of unethical conduct.
"I believe it's in my best interest to withdraw from the race until the grant is completed," Wiggins said Friday.
He expects ACET to make a final equipment purchase with COPS grant funds early next week, at which point he said he'll complete the grant paperwork and then refile paperwork with the state to become a candidate again.
Wiggins also said the Office of Special Counsel, the federal agency that oversees the Hatch Act, indicated that candidates are permitted to withdraw and then re-enter races. It's Wiggins' understanding that the provision of the Hatch Act that restricts candidates who receive federal funding from running for office doesn't necessarily apply if that funding source has expired, as would be the case with the COPS grant.
Erica Hamrick, chief deputy of the Office of Special Counsel's Hatch Act Unit, confirmed Wiggins' assessment. She said it's feasible that a candidate's status in relation to the Hatch Act could change in a matter of weeks if his or her use of federal funding had expired and the relevant grants were completed.
Wiggins would have to refile his candidate paperwork with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office. He said Friday that employees of that office weren't even aware of the Hatch Act when he phoned to tell them his intentions.
"Everyone wants me to continue in the race," Wiggins said. "I'm going to carry on."
Wiggins is expected to face fellow Republican candidate David Smith Jr. in the August primary. Reached Friday, Smith said he doesn't think the Hatch Act should exclude Wiggins from the race.
"I don't even see how it can remotely apply in Wiggins' case," Smith said. "We're both running on the merits of who's going to be best for the job, not trying to find a way to push each other out through a loophole in an obscure law.
"I think this is a tempest in a teapot. I'm not sure why it got started, but it's obviously something that bothers Garrett, and rightfully so. I don't think it's fair."
Wiggins said Friday that he doesn't think there was any intent by others to force him out of the race by using the Hatch Act. Instead, he said it was Moffat County Sheriff's Office investigator and EMT battalion chief K.C. Hume who first made him aware of the act. Hume dropped his bid for Moffat County coroner Feb. 27 because of the Hatch Act.
Also in Moffat County, Chief Deputy Clerk Lila Herod resigned from her position so she could continue her campaign for Moffat County clerk and recorder. Herod applied for a grant for $18,450 from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission through the Help America Vote Act to fund improvements at the Hamilton Community Center, which serves as a polling place. The Office of Special Counsel told her to resign from her position as deputy clerk and Moffat County election supervisor or withdraw from the race.
Wiggins said he supports legislative efforts at the federal and state levels to update the Hatch Act.
"This act really does restrict and inhibit small communities like ours from recruiting candidates to run for office," Wiggins said. "I don't know any government agency that doesn't receive some type of federal funding."
Hamrick acknowledged that her office has seen an increase in Hatch Act inquiries this spring as candidates file for elections across the country.
Wiggins also mentioned a provision of the Hatch Act that exempts existing elected officials from its provisions, meaning they can receive federal funding and continue to run for office, but their potential challenges are restricted.
"This has been extremely stressful for me," he said. "I was at the point where I was ready to say, 'The heck with it.'"
Wiggins plans to be back in the race in time for the April 10 county assembly, during which Routt County Republican delegates will vote on Wiggins and Smith. Each must receive 30 percent of that vote to have their names included on the August primary election ballot. The candidate who receives the highest percentage of votes at the county assembly will have his name appear at the top of the primary ballot.

Email from a friend today ...
OK, I've changed my mind on a lot of important things:
We don't need liability reform in PA. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
The lawyers have been right all along - if there weren't mistakes, there wouldn't BE any malpractice lawsuits.
There's no such thing as defensive medicine.
The government, not doctors, is far more qualified to dictate America's health care.
Everyone should be forced to pay for everyone else's health care (or car, or house, or iPhone).
Legislators shouldn't have to READ those pesky laws they pass.
We should give the PPACA a CHANCE instead of trying to repeal it. Hey, it might work.
What's the fuss about border security? EVERYONE should be allowed to enjoy America's largesse.
The Constitution is old and outdated and we should ignore it.
Our taxes are too low - they pay lots more in Europe and look how great everything is there.
People should just stop whining about their rights and do what the government tells them to do.
The people who run our government are SO much smarter than the average citizen.
Gasoline is too cheap - I'd love to pay $10 a gallon.

Warning (especially to Democrats): Controversial 2-Minute Videoclip (on "Greedy" Capitalism!)
Original post made by paul, Castlewood, on May 15, 2009
There is a chance that the PW may censor this video soon after it is posted because it clearly is not consistent with their political philosophy...nor is it consistent with our current Pleasanton mayor's as well.
So view this controversial film quickly. (Please do not share with any other democrats that you viewed this...otherwise you'll be subject to ridicule and scorn.)
Here is the link to the 2-minute video...

I'm still waiting for your prediction to come true about the censorship from the PW.
For the video, I say that it is the greatest lead joke I have had about Milton Friedmann, the ideologue who was worshipped by Reagan and Greenspan, and who helped create the downfall of America as witnessed today by the Great Recession of 2008-200?. I listened to it and particularly laughed when he repeatedly said he didn't know anything about various pieces of the pencil (which I believed him, he was ignorant, like what is graphite?), but claimed it was made because of higher principles in operation(his ideology) even though the various contributors were of different religions and countries. If I were to believe his ideology, then the growers of poppy (heroin) in Afghanistan, funders of the Taliban, are simply participants in the free market approach to producing "pencils" for us consumers in the Western world.
You guys living in Castlewood are a world to yourself!
(the clip is great. I need to put it in my library. As time passes, the ludicrity of the ideology increases as it is compared to what happens in the real world.)

Binghamton University earns LEED Silver Certification for its University Downtown Center
The Binghamton University Downtown Center (UDC) has been certified at the LEED Silver level by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This is the first "green building" in downtown Binghamton.
Home to the College of Community and Public Affairs, the $29 million UDC was designed by HOLT Architects, working with the University's Physical Facilities staff and a campus planning committee. LeChase Construction Services, Inc. of Rochester served as the construction manager. In addition to the LEED Silver certification, the UDC has been honored for its design by the American Institute of Architects Southern New York Chapter (AIASNY).
Opened in August 2007, the UDC has met requirements under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system designed by the USGBC to encourage and facilitate the development of more sustainable buildings.
A nationally recognized standard set by the USGBC for designing, constructing and operating energy-efficient, high-performance buildings, LEED certification serves to protect and save precious natural resources while also making good economic sense. LEED also verifies environmental performance, occupant health and financial return.
"We're proud of this recognition and will continue our commitment to protect our environment and conserve natural resources in future building projects," said President Lois B. DeFleur. "All new building or major renovation projects will be built to at least LEED Silver standards or the equivalent including our current construction projects for Science 5, the Engineering and Science Building and the East Campus Housing project."
To attain silver certification, the UDC was designed to take maximum advantage of the site, according to project architect Steve Hugo, AIA, of HOLT Architects, P.C. of Ithaca. "We use many strategies that people can't necessarily see that translate into a building that's really energy efficient, pleasing to the eye and functional, all at the same time," said Hugo.
As a result of efforts to use recycled materials and divert debris from the landfill, 11 percent of the building materials used for the UDC came from recycled sources, 16.5 percent of materials were sourced from the region and 262 tons of waste was kept out of the landfill.
In November 2007, Binghamton University's first buildings to attain LEED certification were recognized when Cascade and Windham residence halls in the Mountainview College residential community became the first residential facilities in the SUNY system to meet LEED standards.

Kennedy adviser to speak on Cuban missile crisis, Oct. 10
Posted October 3, 2007; 03:02 p.m.
Theodore Sorensen, an adviser to President Kennedy, will deliver a talk and participate in a panel discussion on "The Cuban Missile Crisis in Retrospect" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Sorensen, who served as Kennedy's special counsel, adviser and primary speechwriter, will present the keynote address at the event. He played an integral role in resolving the Cuban missile crisis and drafted Kennedy's correspondence with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
Sorensen then will take part in the panel discussion, which also includes Sheldon Stern, a former historian at the John F. Kennedy Library and author of "Averting the Final Failure: John F. Kennedy and the Secret Cuban Missile Crisis Meetings," and Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton who studies 20th-century American presidencies.
The discussion will be moderated by Stanley Katz, a lecturer with the rank of professor in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The event is sponsored by the Wilson School.

Alessandro Bonvicino, the Lombard painter known as Moretto, was one of the leading Renaissance artists in Northern Italy. His painting combined the influence of Venetian emphasis on colour with the robust realism found in Lombard tradition and, at the same time, it shows a considerable interest in perspective. He worked in the Veneto region and in the most important cities in Lombardy, and was much appreciated for his altar paintings and portraits. In 1521–24, he worked with Romanino on a chapel in the important church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Brescia. Moretto's style differs from that of his colleague in that it follows the lessons learnt from Titian more closely and brings in elements of Central-Italian classicism. His stylistic approach can be compared with that of another important Renaissance master who was active in that period in nearby Bergamo: Lorenzo Lotto, a friend and admirer of his.
This Madonna and Child is not signed, but it does contain stylistic qualities which enable it to be attributed with certainty to the painter. The work combines remarkable colouristic sensitivity, close to the preciosity of Venetian artists, and a lively naturalism. The Madonna and the Child are, one might say, portrayed in a moment of humanity, with no concession to courtly attitudes or statuesque forms.

Illustrated letter from William Orpen to Mrs St George
Pencil on paper
William Orpen (1878-1931) wrote this letter to his patron and future mistress Mrs St George while staying at the home of the Vere Foster family in county Louth. He was painting their family portrait at the time and was particularly amused by the daughter Biddy, who liked to dress as a boy. He writes that he will be in Galway to see Mrs St George on Thursday but complains that he will have to get the early train from Dublin. The letter includes a sketch of Orpen with Biddy Foster and one on the reverse of the artist struggling to get dressed in time for the morning train.

And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? —Matthew 21:16, KJV
I wonder whether we realize that God not only cares about the kind of worship we give, but He also really wants our worship. I find it so moving that God should care about my worship of Him.
Our natural reaction to this idea is to think, Well, worship of God by little old me isn't going to matter to Him! We tend to think that God will take more notice of the worship of more important people, like the president of the United States or an eminent man of God such as Billy Graham. It's as if we feel He must say, "Ah, this is more like it!" when He sees these kind of people worship. Maybe we don't say this, but in so many words, isn't it what we so often secretly feel?
Yet throughout the Bible is the theme that God cares about each individual as though there were no one else to care for. Whether you are five years old, fifty, or ninety years old, God cares about your worship. He is not interested in your status in life; He looks at you.
On Palm Sunday when the children were crying, "Hosanna to the son of David," the chief priests and scribes didn't like it. But Jesus said to them, "Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" (Matt. 21:16, KJV).
You see, not only do so-called unimportant people matter, but God does not care whether or not you are in a strategic position from which to spread His name. You may sometimes think, I'm not going to be able to do anything for God where I am. Why should He show me anything or give me any insights?
What matters to God is not how important you are or how useful you are. All that matters to Him is the quality of your worship.

Orkut seems to be hitting the waves here. It's a wonderful little experiment and I'm more amused by others and my own reactions to Orkut. I know that my own reaction has been a need to join to not only get in because of it's supposed "exclusivity" but to pit myself against this social network and find out what happens. So far, my number of friends is climbing. No pictures. (maybe a good thing!) I have added several of my local friends and family in an effort to bring them into the fold. It seems like a good way to keep track of friends both distant and close. At the very least I will remember their birthdays! :-)
More Later.

I had to investigate a similar situation just up the road from Pensacola. The Dept had a inpatient facility at Mt Vernon, AL. On this campus was a building built in the late 1930's that had been abandoned since about 1985. It was of absolutely no use to anyone except as cleaned bricks. The best estimate I could get was just short of $1 million to tear down and remove the building with the salvage contractor getting all the materials. We had strong ties to a large volunteer program like Habitat in the Mobile area. It was proposed that we give the building to them and that they tear it down. Their answer was, "Don't be silly!"
Organizations like that just aren't interested in work that requires a high degree of professional expertise because they have to hire it done.
BTW, that building still stands because no one in the Dept saw a million dollar expense as worth doing just because it was the responsible thing to do. A year ago they closed the whole facility and abandoned it in place. The reason was that Mt Vernon was physically too far from population centers to recruit people. Now they are wondering why the Dept can't sell the place ... despite the place being too far from population centers to recruit people plus the fact that no significant maintenance monies have been spent on it in the past 10 years. Just one of the reasons why I bailed when I did.

Journal Journal: Time for my quasi-annual journal entry
There. That ought to do it.
There. That ought to do it.
Finally got tired of looking at the old entry when I went to the user page. Don't really have anything to say.
Been enjoying my new Epson 960 Photo printer. Man! What great output! Eats enough ink though. I'm thinking about springing for a continuous flow inking system. Found a couple online but don't really know yet which one to get.
Out of curiosity I checked back yesterday to find that I have not gained any new enemies, but that my list of fans has doubled (two more - lest it sound like marketing hype) giving me a two-to-one edge over those who don't like my words (since they don't know me).
Another interesting observation is that those who count me a friend have (all but one) entries in their journals while those who count me their foe have none. I am choosing to believe that this means I am better liked by literate people than by the unwashed masses. The thought makes me feel better anyway.
Ah, well. Back to work.
It's been some time since I perused the various tabs on my individual user page. Frankly I'd never looked in any of the Friends, Fans, Foes or Freaks tabs because I didn't think there'd be anything there. Today I looked.
I'm amazed to discover I have two
I'm supposing that the two 'fans' must have liked one or more of my quips or perhaps even one of the more serious posts I've made here.
That anyone would have chosen me as a 'foe' is really funny. I've generally held to the philosophy that the more you accomplish the more people are going to be against you. What amazes me is that this really isn't a forum where accomplishments are achieved (unless you count Karma), but where opinions are expressed. That someone would take such exception to an expression of opinion (not an attack) that they would take the time to add the comment's author to their list of enemies..... All I can say is I'm quite happy that I don't share meatspace with such folk.

Program instruction is separated into three general phases:
|First Phase
|Formal coursework in core and domain/methodology courses.
|Second Phase
|Devoted to directed study in close consultation with faculty in preparation for an academic career.
|Final Phase
|Individual research required for the student's dissertation. This includes identification of topic, theory development and supporting data collection, as well as completion of analysis, interpretation and written dissertation.
Core Courses
The core curriculum consists of a mathematics review course and two course sequences designed to ensure that students are educated in the fundamentals of economic and social sciences. Typically, core courses will be taken in the first and second years.
In addition to the standard curriculum, individual students may be required to take additional courses depending upon their educational background. The time devoted to these studies depends on a student's prior preparation, but generally requires two years.
The core course sequence includes microeconomics, econometrics and introduction to management research.
Domain/Methodology Courses
The domain/methodology course requirement helps the student acquire the deep domain knowledge and methodological skills required to conduct research in their areas of interest.
Students will take a minimum of six courses in conjunction with a faculty adviser, to develop these research skills. Most of these courses are taken in the first and second years. Additional courses required for transition from coursework to thesis include literature review, critique and presentation courses.
Courses in the second and third years focus on problem identification, development and presentation.
If you have any questions, please contact the Rady Ph.D. Graduate Coordinator at email@example.com.

Since his humble beginnings over 25 years ago, there have been plenty of action figure versions of Boba Fett. He may be just 1 character, but he is everywhere; in terms of screentime, he may have the most figures in relation to his amount we've actually seen him.
This poll asks collectors which 3¾" Boba Fett figure they consider the main version of the character in their collection, no matter loose or carded. The choices span all the 3¾" Boba Fett molds (that I could think of off the top of my head), though not every variation of those molds was listed (i.e., not listed were SOTE Fett or Silver Fett or pack-in Fetts, though POTF2 Fett and POTF2 Deluxe Fett do actually have different parts so they are listed separately).
So vote now and tell your fellow collectors which Boba Fett figure is king!
And remember Peter Griffin's words of wisdom:
"[FONT=Arial]No matter how sure I am, I never risk the Fett man![/FONT]"
