Wow! What a great weekend.
It's so hard to be patient in this grueling game when you know you got the best dog and trainer in the world. There is no one I know that is more honest, competitive and hard working than Steve Blythe at Lone Willow Kennels. I'm sure many people feel the same about their prof trainer.
Thank you judges, Lincoln and Missouri Valley hunt club. A special thanks to high school Navy ROTC young people that work their butts off for their Club.
Congrats to all that placed and finished.

Pesky municipal problems usually require persistent – sometimes long-term – work to find solutions, but clear vision and innovation place the goals in reach, as has happened in Corinth and Oxford, where officials and leaders have taken necessary action.
In Corinth and Alcorn County, funding and plans are in hand to fix vexing flooding issues that plagued some areas for years.
In 2010, flooding in a south Corinth neighborhood shut down schools, businesses and residences, causing millions in damages. That deluge and inundation spurred the city and others to work toward a long-lasting plan and infrastructure work to control floods on creeks and ditches in Ward 4.
Now, the city has received $900,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for work that is supposed to control the problem. The 90 percent/10 percent federal /city match could be further supplemented if the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency matches half the 10 percent local match requirement.
Work is still months away, but the plan is in hand, along with the needed money.
Flood plain control and stability is essential in the affected area because of extensive development.
In Oxford, city leaders have wrestled for months with what to do about parking on the iconic Oxford Square and in the downtown area.
Now, a decision has been made, and the thousands every week who want to enjoy the intensely developed and historic city center will have to obey stricter parking regulations, with potentially costly consequences for not obeying the rules – and malingering. It's for the good of the colorful downtown district and the enjoyment of all.
Oxford, unlike some downtowns in the area's county seat hubs, is jammed with retail, restaurants and professional services. It is an essential cog in the city's sales tax revenue structure, and smooth shopper/driver/pedestrian flow is paramount. The new ticketing rules will discourage long-term parking with fines that will climb as high as $75, which is expensive convenience. After that, cars will be booted.
The first ticket is free – a warning – the second offense is $10, then $25, then $50 and up.
Cities doing what's necessary can sustain their strengths and well-being.

As I said, PCM70 is quite affordable, but I still skeptical for some reason... cause it is such a old product, would like to know how it compares to the newer Lexicon reverbs such as PCM96. And how come no reverbs above PCM90 is mention, why do they not sound as good when they are based on the same algorithms ?
One of the liberating aspects of the way in which a lot of artists make their music these days is that there are a lot of affordable tools available which are (arguably) almost as good as expensive (and unattainable for most artists) high-end gear. I agree with APK's earlier point in this regard.Yep, like Burgundy, Eqs and vintage guitar valve amps, its down to 'taste' ultimately. Naturally some people have a lot more experience to judge their choices by, but others shouldn't feel that their opinions are not valid. Immersion, you might want to try out these Lexicon Impulses from 'Noisevault':http://noisevault.com/nv/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=29&func=selectcat&cat=7There's PCM70 and PCM91 sets there amongst many others.cheersPete

And how come no reverbs above PCM90 is mention, why do they not sound as good when they are based on the same algorithms ?Back about 5 years ago just before I bought my TC Reverb 4000 on ebay I bid on and won a Lexicon 300. The 300 was the budget version to their 480L, sort of like my 4000 is the budget version of TC's 6000. As I said I won the auction but the seller had no feedback and would not work with me on a third party arrangement like going through a broker, so I let it go and got the 4000 instead. I'm sure if I had gotten the 300 I would have been a very happy person. These days if I were in the market for a Lexicon verb I would probably check out the PCM96. From the reviews I have read it has that signature Lexicon sound, and the real interesting part is it has a firewire connection and can be used like any plug-in in your DAW software.As a side note if you were seriously interested in the H7600, I would check out the H8000FW instead, which also has firewire connections, although I am not sure if they have plug-in integration like the PMC96.
There's an interesting article by Myles Boisen in this month's Electronic Musician about creating space in mixes. He refers to most free reverb plug-ins and inexpensive outboard reverb processors as having high coloration:http://emusician.com/tutorials/space-place-part/And...oh yeah, happy thanksgiving, everyone!Forrest

Conference re-examines Locke's work, April 1
Posted March 25, 2005; 02:29 p.m.
Noted scholars of John Locke's political and religious philosophy will gather for a public conference, "Reason, Faith and Politics: John Locke Re-examined," on Friday, April 1, in 16 Robertson Hall.
The conference consists of three sessions that roughly correspond to the stages of Locke's intellectual development. From 10:30 a.m. to noon, scholars will discuss Locke's theory of natural law, with particular reference to the extent to which it departs from earlier classical and Christian theories. A 1:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. session will cover the religious foundations of Locke's theory of equality. From 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., the focus will be on the relation of Locke's religious thinking to his political thought.
A reception in the Frist Campus Center Multipurpose Room will follow the lectures. The conference is organized by Paul Sigmund, professor of politics at Princeton and editor of the forthcoming "Selected Political Writings of John Locke" (Norton Critical Edition).
The event is sponsored by the University Center for Human Values and co-sponsored by the Department of Politics, the Center for the Study of Religion, the James Madison Program for American Ideals and Institutions and the Department of Philosophy.

This cartoon from 1940 skewers the ambitions of Franklin D. Roosevelt as he decided whether to run for a third term, a choice that would violate the precedent established by George Washington when he refused to do so in 1796. The anti-Roosevelt sentiments are illustrated with depictions of Roosevelt as a king or emperor who believes himself to be above the law and the Constitution. Roosevelt ultimately was elected to four terms. The 22nd Amendment setting a two-term limit passed in 1947.

Political cartoon exhibition reveals common themes of American presidential elections
Posted September 19, 2008; 08:00 a.m.
An exhibition on view at Princeton University's Firestone Library confirms through paper and ink what many American voters already suspect: Although the political candidates may change, many issues remain the same.
Titled "Sketching Their Characters: 150 Years of Political Cartoons From Andrew Jackson to George H.W. Bush," the exhibition features primarily original pen and ink editorial cartoons dating from 1828 to 1992 focusing on presidential elections. Works of Thomas Nast, among other notable political cartoonists, are on display in the library's Milberg Gallery until Sunday, Jan. 4.
Questions about qualifications, the service or burden of past actions, the influence of money on the political process, backroom deals that subvert the will of the people and aspersions on the candidates themselves have tickled and outraged generations of cartoonists and their readers. Curators Jennifer Cole, Daniel Linke and Daniel Santamaria have selected items from three collections held at the Mudd Manuscript Library as well as the holdings of the Graphic Arts Division.
"This was the most entertaining exhibition I have ever done," said Linke, who has curated more than a dozen. "Reviewing political cartoons from over the decades was like an illustrated political history lesson -- or a graphic novel."
"Some of the cartoons are downright funny, but others will make you wonder if anything at all has really changed with American politics," Linke said. He noted two from 1904 in which both parties pursue independent voters and accuse the other of being in the pockets of "big money," which certainly could apply to today's political landscape.
The ferocity of the attacks also has not changed, he said, pointing out those that attacked Franklin D. Roosevelt and his decision to run for a third term. "We think of FDR as a revered president, but these cartoons show that in his time, he had plenty of detractors," Linke said.
A lecture by Rutgers history and journalism professor David Greenberg at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, in 101 McCormick Hall will precede a reception for the exhibition. Greenberg's first book, "Nixon's Shadow: The History of an Image" won the Washington Monthly Political Book Award and the American Journalism History Book Award. He is the recipient of the 2008 Hiett Prize in the Humanities. Awarded by the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, the prize recognizes a young scholar whose work shows exceptional promise.
Hours for the exhibition are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

"Cross over with me and stay with me in Jerusalem, and I will provide for you." (2 Sam 19:33)
Throughout history, the bridges of the Holy Land
strengthened economic, cultural, and religious ties, and their state of
repair and adornments told of the power of its rulers. The fact that
most of Israel's
historic bridges stand at various points on its borders adds a
significant modern dimension to their stories. From north to south, here
are some of the most interesting ones.
A Patriarch and His Daughters
The Bible mentions that Jacob's daughters (Gen. 46:7) went with him to Egypt, but what do they have to do with the Daughters of Jacob Bridge over the Jordan River in northern Israel's Hula Valley?
legend says that Jacob's daughters crossed this bridge with their
father, presumably among "all he had" when he returned from Paddan Aram in Mesopotamia (Gen. 31:21). In that same verse, we find Jacob "crossing the river" and heading for "the hill country of Gilead." It's the right neighborhood, but only barely - this bridge connects the Galilee with the Golan, not Gilead.
So who could these daughters be? Some say they were a medieval order of nuns in the Galilee town of Safed.
The nuns, known as the Daughters of James (which in Hebrew is Ya'akov,
or Jacob), were allowed by the Turks to charge a toll on the bridge. We
probably will never know the answer to the name riddle. The Galilee
is replete with biblical place names, and we can only conclude that the
overactive scriptural imagination of pilgrims and other travelers is
behind the bridge's moniker.
of the Sea of Galilee, the Yarmukh River
runs through a valley that separates the mountains of Gilead to the
south from the Golan to the north, and today marks the border between
Jordan and Israel. Around each bend in the hairpin road through the
valley, which leads from the Sea of Galilee to the Golan Heights, are
beautiful views of the Yarmukh and its bridge.
bridge has lain in ruins ever since the Night of the Bridges, as modern
Israeli history calls it. On the night of June 17, 1946, the Haganah
(the Jewish underground army) destroyed several bridges leading into
British Mandate Palestine in protest against British policies limiting
the number of Jewish immigrants.
On the far side of the river, the Jordanian town of Um Qays
can be clearly seen. In antiquity, this town was known as Gader, making
this area "the region of the Gadarenes" (Matt. 8:28), where Jesus cast
out demons and sent them into a herd of pigs.
lost in recent urban expansion, this bridge, with its distinctive
bas-relief of two lions, is located near the northern exit of the town
of Lydda (Lod) near Ben-Gurion Airport.
An inscription in Arabic between the lions mentions Baybars, the
Mameluke sultan who built the bridge in 1273. Similar carvings are found
on either side of the Lions' Gate in Jerusalem, giving the gate its name.
was not always as far off the pilgrims' track as it is today. Countless
Christian pilgrims in medieval times must have crossed the Baybars
Bridge as they made their way to the town to commemorate the healing of
Aeneas by Peter (Acts 9:32-35). Lydda later gained fame as the
birthplace of St. George, patron saint of England.
The Yarmukh flows westward and joins the Jordan in the northern Jordan Valley
at a place called Naharayyim, an apt Hebrew name that means "two
rivers." Naharayyim is located at the junction of two valleys, the
Jezreel and the Jordan, making it one of the most important historical
crossings of the land of the Bible, with remains of bridges dating from
Roman, Turkish, and modern times.
the Roman and Byzantine periods, the Naharayyim crossing was a main
thoroughfare for travelers between Beit She'an (Scythopolis), Pella, and
other cities in the Hellenistic league known from the New Testament as
the Decapolis. In medieval times, wheat from Gilead and the Golan
crossed this bridge in caravans bound for the port of Acre.
In 1927, Kibbutz Gesher ("Bridge") was founded nearby, and in 1932, an engineer from Haifa,
Pinhas Rutenberg, built a hydroelectric plant that harnessed the water
power of the two rivers. It lit up the area until 1948, when it had to
shut down in the heat of the fighting with the Jordanians. The site of
the hydroelectric plant now houses an interesting visitors' center.
Allenby Bridge, east of Jericho, is familiar to travelers who combine
their trip to Israel with one to the eastern Bible lands in Jordan. It
is named after General Edmund Allenby, who led the British Commonwealth
forces to victory over the Turks in World War I.
pilgrims, crossing this bridge over the Jordan River means traveling in
the footsteps of the Israelites as they crossed into the Promised Land
(Josh 3:16) and of Jesus and John the Baptist, who may have crossed the
river here on their travels across the Jordan (Mark 10:1, Luke 3:3, John 1:28).
Adam Bridge, north of Jericho, is not open to the general public, but
it, too, has biblical antecedents: it is here, the Bible tells us, that
the "waters piled up" and the Jordan stopped flowing (Josh 3:16) so that
the Children of Israel could cross on dry land.

Exhibition book
Edited by Robert Bell
with essays by Christine Dixon, Helena Hammond,
Michelle Potter and Debbie Ward
THE BALLETS RUSSES has engaged people for 100 years, ever since Russian-born Sergei Diaghilev created this dynamic avant-garde company.
Diaghilev brought together some of the most important visual artists of the 20th century—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Georges Braque, Giorgio de Chirico, Léon Bakst, Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov and more—who worked as costume and stage designers with composers such as Igor Stravinsky, choreographers such as Michel Fokine and dancers such as Vaslav Nijinsky, infusing new life and creative energy into the performing arts of the time.
Premiering in Paris, the Ballets Russes, for the brief period of its existence (1909–29), created exotic, extravagant and charming theatrical spectacle but also critical discussion and technical innovation, as well as exuding glamour—and often creating scandal—wherever it appeared.
The costumes featured in this book are drawn entirely from the National Gallery of Australia's world-renowned collection of Ballets Russes costumes and ephemera. Through the costumes, drawings, programs and posters, the visual spectacle of the Ballets Russes is brought back into view for a contemporary audience to appreciate the revolution it was and the ongoing influence it continues to have today.
A must for anyone interested in the performing arts, the intersection of art and design, and costume and fashion.

Feminist SFF t-shirts
So, I finally discovered a website that will let me sell t-shirts that I would actually want to wear *. At long last, I can act upon all my suppressed t-shirt-making urges!
First up, and as a sort of trial run, I offer you the I-wish-I-could-have-been-at-Wiscon t-shirt:
Feminist SFF rockstars t-shirt, available in fitted and straight-cut styles, including larger sizes.
If there were a superstar rock band of classic feminist science fiction and fantasy, the members would be Joanna Russ, Octavia Butler, James Tiptree, Jr. (alias Alice Sheldon), and Ursula K. Le Guin.
These t-shirts are 100% organic cotton, and are available in fitted and straight-cut styles up to 3XL (around 54″/135cm in circumference). The straight-cut style also comes in smaller sizes down to 18″/45cm circumference, for smaller people. They're available in black, charcoal, navy blue, chocolate, and a dark olivey green.
There's also a zippered tote bag, in black only:
Sorry, no other items (coffee mugs, etc) are available in this design; I was limited by what had a dark background for printing. If there's enough demand, I might do a dark-on-light version which would allow for more of the items listed here, so let me know if that interests you.
Buy a feminist SFF t-shirt or tote bag now.
Shirt orders are fulfilled by Printfection.com. This is the first time I've worked with them, so I'm interested in hearing how people find the experience. If you have any problems with ordering or shipment you'll have to deal with them to resolve it, but I'd like to hear about it too so I know whether this is working out okay or not.
* In other words, they're available in sizes and styles that fit me, in dark colours, and in this case — an added bonus — they're also organic cotton, all at what I consider to be a reasonable price. You might be surprised how many t-shirts don't fit even the first criteria. For more information see T-shirts at the Geek Feminism wiki. Back.

Discovery Lab fall educational outreach tour schedule
Discovery Lab fall educational outreach tour schedule
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 31, 2009
Student research assistants with the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center's Discovery Lab provide educational and public outreach tours every Thursday at 12 p.m., Sept. 10 through Dec 17, by reservation only. Reservations must be made one week in advance and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a time on the fall schedule, call 450-8638 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Maximum size for tours is 20 participants. Children must be 10 years of age or older and accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The hour-long presentation includes a virtual tour of the center's supercomputers, capable of calculating 30-trillion mathematical calculations a second, and ARSC's petabyte-scale data storage facility. One petabyte is a quadrillion bytes. ARSC's StorageTek Silo can hold about 7 petabytes of information. If an iPod had the same amount of storage, it would be possible to play 12,000 years of music, without ever repeating the same song.
Tours may also include a 3-D, virtual tour of Mars or a virtual visit to the city of Fairbanks, as it was nearly 100 years ago. Visitors may also participate in an interactive 3-D drawing program called BLUIsculpt, short for Body Language User Interface. BLUI was developed at ARSC. It is open source software, meaning anyone can use it or make new contributions to the existing software. According to Discovery Lab Manager Bob Huebert, BLUI is one of the more popular presentations for school aged children. He said that through the Discovery Lab, science teachers can spark an interest in learning about science and technology.
"Supercomputers allow scientists to study things that are too big, too small, too far away or too dangerous to do in the real world," said Huebert. "We hope visitors leave the Discovery Lab with a better understanding of what a supercomputer is and how high-performance computing helps scientists at UAF and around the world learn new things."
ARSC provides open research computing capabilities for the Defense Department's High Performance Computing Modernization Program. HPCMP has six DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers throughout the country: two in Mississippi and one each in Maryland, Ohio, Alaska and Hawaii.
CONTACT: : Bob Huebert, Discovery Lab manager, ARSC, 907-450-8638 or firstname.lastname@example.com , or Debra Damron, communications group lead, ARSC, at 907-450-8662, email@example.com .

I don't think Awsi was being a dick. I think he was saying that rather than guessing who might or might not be there at a given spot, specific player analysis suggests where you'd be interested in drafting them and encourages better discussion. I agree with him, but I don't mind mocks.
Pryor is an interesting prospect. I like him a lot, especially in run support. I think Hill might be the best back in the draft. Don't know enough about his blocking, but he is quick and powerful. I like Gabe Jackson, but not sure he would fit Miami's ZBS very well. Hurst in the 5th would be a steal. I think he goes earlier.
As far as running backs go, I would like Miami to get Toby Gerhart in free agency or maybe draft a late rounder like James Wilder Jr. who I think has as much talent as the top guys being discussed.
Don't think Hill is even a consideration given his off the field issues.
Someone will give him and Lyerla a chance. Talent is too tempting. I've seen Hill mocked from 1st rd to 4th, the one on one interviews will cull that down.

Discover dramatic rockfalls and unspoilt river scenery along the nature reserve trail spanning the Eichsfeld region, Hainich forest and Werra valley.
From river to river: this nature reserve trail connects the river Leine in the spa town of Heilbad Heiligenstadt to the Werra river in Creuzburg, weaving through a network of bio-diverse leafy forests, meadows, orchards and historical little villages. There's plenty to see just off the track, including Thuringia's biggest yew forest at Lengenberg hill, the ten-metre Lutter waterfall near Grossbartloff or simply the rich diversity of the riverbank meadows along the Werra near Treffurt, not to mention the impressive 360° panoramic view from Lindenhecke hill and the vantage point atop the Dieterode cliffs. And for a touch of culture the trail also passes Gleichenstein, Normannstein and Creuzburg castles, as well as the pilgrimage churches of Klüschen Hagis and Boniface Chapel (on Hülfensberg hill). The region is known for its sausage-making traditions, as well as its fruit juice and Eichsfeld schmandkuchen – a cake with a sour cream topping. With five day-long stages ranging between 16 and 22 kilo metres, the Leine-Werra trail takes in the most beautiful spots of the Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werra Valley nature reserve. Round off your walk by exploring the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Ancient Beech Forests in Hainich National Park.
Tip: Hülfensberg hill
Hülfensberg hill is home to a Franciscan abbey still in use today, and a pilgrimage church with a Romanesque depiction of Christ. Every year thousands of Christians make a pilgrimage to the hill. The 18.6m crucifi x can be seen from miles around as a reminder of the 19th century struggle for religious freedom.

As summer approaches, your thoughts focus on what you'll be doing as the weather warms. You think with pleasure of the upcoming possibilities: barbeques, picnics in the park, outings to the beach, frolicking with your family and pets in the back yard, an exciting vacation, and more.
But how are you going to muster up the energy to add all these fun activities into your already busy schedule? After languishing in the cozy house all winter, just thinking of this flurry of activity tires you out!
Try these tips to pump up your energy for summer fun:
- Make a commitment to yourself. Look in the mirror and make a vow that you'll take part in more activities this summer. You'll worry less about keeping the house and yard in meticulous form and doing the laundry and washing the car on the same days every week. Commit to enjoying a summer full of interesting recreation.
- Consider your options. Your kids want to take that 4 hour trip to the new theme park at least once. Your partner wants both of you to join the local boat club and go boating twice monthly. You've got one friend who wants you to take golf lessons with him and another who hopes you'll attend a monthly art discussion group throughout summer.
- Ponder the type of recreation you'd like to be involved in. Take time to consider which proposed activities you'd enjoy the most. Which activities really call to you?
- You'll be full of vigor by the time summer rolls around.
Summer is about to arrive. Isn't it time to re-invigorate and enjoy a fantastic summer? Vow to embrace your fun-loving side. Think about how you'd like to experience some new and different recreation this season. Exercise often to increase stamina. Practice the cognitive strategy of positive self-talk to pump up energy and prepare for lots of summer activities.
Talk to your partner about both of your wishes as the weather heats up. Recognize what you have and be thankful for it. Start now to get revved up for the summer; you'll enjoy your best season yet this year!

P.S.: My patch for isakmpd on Linux 2.5.x was mentioned in a article by Ralf Spenneberg about IPsec in Linux 2.5.x. in the Linux-Magazin. There might also be a chapter about using isakmpd on Linux 2.5.x in Ralfs new book «VPN mit Linux».

Appearance / Description of Object(s)
The object was was high up. I remember it as a fast moving metallic spec which then changed into a larger kite shape object briefly before simply disappearing.
Full Description & Details
I was about 9 or 10 and I think it was during the summer school holidays as I was playing on some waste ground with friends. I noticed something moving rapidly across the sky at high altitude. Moments later I saw that the object was being followed by a fighter jet. As the jet got closer the object appeared to change into a box or kite shape and then disappeared completely.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
It is possible that what I saw was a fighter jet - but at the time I was sure I'd seen a UFO
Views on UFOs, before and after sighting
I was quite a imaginative child and had an interest in UFOs, ghosts, that sort of thing. I will conceded that its possible that I imagined what I saw.
Reported Sighting?No
Name:Steve Johnson

Elizabeth Warren Did Not Claim Minority Status, Records Show
By STEVE LeBLANC 05/10/12 08:53 PM ET
BOSTON -- Records show that the leading Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts identified her race as "white" on an employment record at the University of Texas and declined to apply for admission to Rutgers Law School under a program for minority students.
The records on Elizabeth Warren were obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. Warren's heritage has been under scrutiny after it surfaced that she had listed herself as having Native American heritage in law school directories.
Warren's campaign said the records reinforce her earlier statements that she never relied on a claim of minority status to get teaching jobs. She has criticized the campaign of Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown for suggesting that might be the case.
A third document obtained by the AP Thursday indicated that the University of Pennsylvania, where Warren also worked, identified her as a minority professor.
Brown has called on Warren to release all law school applications and personnel files from the universities where she taught.
Warren worked at the University of Texas from 1983 to 1987, when she took a job at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
A report by a committee established to review the status of minority faculty at the University of Pennsylvania identifies Warren as a minority, however, without elaborating.
The new documents paint a fuller picture of Warren's law school record.
On the Rutgers application, Warren wrote "No" in response to the question: "Are you interested in applying for admission under the Program for Minority Group Students?"

By Sen. Hob Bryan
Gov. Phil Bryant says the legislature should reauthorize the division of Medicaid and wait until we have more information before making a decision about expanding the program. The state Senate unanimously voted to do that very thing, but Speaker Phillip Gunn – with the support of the governor – had our proposal sent to the house rules committee to be killed. Apparently Gov. Bryant and Speaker Gunn feel they don't need any more information. They've killed a bill because they are afraid to debate it. I hope they'll reconsider.
Medicaid is going to be expanded, and Mississippi taxpayers are going to pay for it. The issue is whether our federal tax dollars will go to provide health care and save jobs in other states, or whether we will allow those dollars to come to Mississippi.
The Affordable Care Act changes how doctors, hospitals, and others are paid. Some payments will be reduced or eliminated, and those cuts are mandatory. The impact on hospitals and others could be severe, resulting in lost jobs and reduced services for everyone. The cuts are to be offset by an increase in Medicaid eligibility, with the federal government paying the entire cost at first, and eventually paying 90 per cent. This expansion would help reduce the impact on providers.
Mississippi has the option to refuse this additional money, and apparently the governor has made up his mind we should reject it.
That puts him at odds with the Republican governors of at least eight states, including Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Ohio and North Dakota. They are among the most conservative governors in the nation, and they certainly haven't decided they support President Obama or the health care act. They have simply made the decision that's right for their states.
Tens of thousands of Mississippians work at low paying jobs which do not provide health care. They work as construction workers, truck drivers, cashiers and other jobs, and many of them work a lot harder than legislators and governors. They pay taxes. They just can't afford individual health care policies, and if they have pre-existing conditions, coverage is especially expensive.
It's never seemed right to me that those who don't work and have no income are in some respects better off than those who do work, but earn low wages. Expanding Medicaid will allow these individuals and their families to receive health care at no additional cost to Mississippi taxpayers. Maybe the governor has another plan for the working poor, but it's hard to know if we can't have a debate.
In recent days, other states have received approval for different ways to use these additional federal dollars. Florida plans to expand managed care. Arkansas plans to subsidize private insurance. We need to study these ideas and see which ones make sense for Mississippi.
In Sunday's column, Gov. Bryant tried to make this a partisan issue. That's unfortunate. Most Democrats and most Republicans in the legislature are struggling to get the right answer. We can deal with politics at the next election. Right now, let's just try to govern.
SEN. HOB Bryan of Amory represents Monroe County and parts of Itawamba and Lee. Last term he was appointed by then Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant to chair the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee. He is currently chair of the Medicaid subcommittee of that committee. In 2009 he was instrumental in reaching a compromise on Medicaid funding, a matter which threatened to leave the state without a budget. He generally supported the position of Gov. Haley Barbour, which left him at odds with most Democrats in the Legislature. He may be reached at Post Office Box 75, Amory, Mississippi 38821, or at (601) 359-3540 during the legislative session.

Year-round service
Situated on the southwest coast of the golden state of California, San Diego is a beautiful, sunny and friendly destination just 32 km north of the border town of Tijuana, Mexico. And with everything from sandy beaches and desert, to lush valleys and breathtaking mountain ranges, this city has all the makings of a fabulous vacation.
Aside from its world renowned harbour and fantastic water sports options, San Diego is probably best known for its golf courses. Golf is one of the most popular pastimes here and there are more than 90 golf courses in San Diego County to choose from. The most famous, Torrey Pines Golf Course, is where the PGA Tour plays the Farmers Insurance Open (formerly the Buick Invitational).
There are also plenty of family-friendly attractions in San Diego, including major draws such as SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland California, the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. For three days each July, San Diego also hosts Comic-Con International – the world's largest comic book and popular arts convention.
For couples, San Diego is also a romantic getaway, perfect for honeymooners or those just simply looking for a vacation in the sun. From its sun-kissed beaches to the beautiful boardwalks of Pacific Beach, you're sure to find plenty of spots to share an intimate walk – or perhaps even a bike ride.
Rent cruiser bikes or rollerblades from beachside kiosks and glide for hours along San Diego's peaceful shores. The boardwalk is best during weekdays if you want to avoid the crowds. When you want to take a break from cycling, toss a Frisbee on the beach or dip your toes into the warm ocean water.
Fans of Dr. Seuss books will appreciate how San Diego inspired the author and cartoonist's artwork. After the Second World War, Theodore Seuss Geisel and his wife moved to the quirky, gorgeous neighbourhood of La Jolla on the northwest tip of San Diego. It was here that he wrote and illustrated books such as The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Look at Seuss's drawings and you'll notice the same fanciful landscapes of strangely twisted trees with shaggy tops found right here in La Jolla.
But whether you come to San Diego to laze around during its sun-warmed winters or to sip white wine on summer patios next to the beach, you'll never be far from the sounds, sights and smells that make this city so unique.
San Diego is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- romance
- shopping and dining

Gentoo has a very nice build "sandbox" working now. The sandbox prevents an ebuild from writing any changes outside of the temporary install directory during configuration and compiling of package tarballs. A previous ebuild submission of mine violated the sandbox when building the pdf manuals because a font it needed wasn't prebuilt during the tetex installation. (I got this bug assigned to me!).
I love it when I wake up in the morning and my problems are magically solved! A gentoo developer, azarah, updated the tetex ebuild so that it created all the fonts during installation. All I had to do to fix the moldy sandbox violation was to change the dependencies to depend on the new tetex ebuild. Sometimes life is easy.

A Levitation Delta kite lofted a Canon S95 on a KAP rig over the site of this Nearbynature Gigapan: gigapan.org/gigapans/80659/. A snapshot shows the exact location occupied by the gigapan imager.
Wind speed varied enough that the rig rose and fell constantly as the AuRiCo controller snapped photos in a different direction every five seconds. This movement made it hard to find photos that would stitch together. These 12 are badly stitched along the horizon, but the image shows the outcrop of metasandstone at the center of the Dryas patch, and the patterned ground where frost boils and stone sorting create a mosaic of tundra communities.

Amy and Dan Cahill are still hot on the trail of the 39 Clues, the real life treasure hunt they began in The 39 Clues #1 Maze of Bones and #2 One False Note. Amy, Dan and their nanny Nellie begin their third adventure at an Italian airport preparing to board a plane to Japan, where they think they will find the next clue. Nellie boards the plane while Dan and Amy try to figure out a problem with security – could it be the swords hidden in Dan's luggage?! No, it isn't the swords, it's their evil cousins Ian and Natalie Kabra who have boarded the plane in Amy and Dan's place. Dan and Amy are stranded at the airport with No Nellie, no money and no plane tickets.
Who should come to their rescue but Uncle Alistair Oh, the man who left them inside their Grandmother's burning home. Alistair offers them passage to Japan. Should they trust him? When they began their clue hunt, their only directions were "trust no one." The thing is, Alistair can get them to Japan. The Cahills take a chance and forge an alliance with Uncle Alistair. Is this the beginning of a new chapter in their quest…or the beginning of the end?

Windows Phone 8.1 is the follow up to Windows Phone 8, which rolled out to devices rather quickly. Some stuck with the previous iteration of the OS, but despite it's strengths, Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform is not without its flaws. In this roundup, we take a look at common WP8 issues that have been reported by users, and we try to find workarounds and solutions to quickly deal with them. If you've encountered any of these Windows Phone 8 problems and you know of a good solution that hasn't been mentioned, then please post a comment and we'll add it as soon as we can.
Problem: Black screen during calls
A lot of few people have encountered persistent problems with their screen going black whenever they make or receive a call on their Windows Phone 8 device. This makes it unresponsive, so it's difficult to cancel or end the call.
- If you tap the power button twice the screen should blink back to life, but you may have to act quickly to end the call.
Potential fixes:
- This is likely to be an issue with the proximity sensor. Make sure that you don't have a screen protector covering it. It's located next to the front-facing camera at the top of the front face of the phone.
- You should also make sure there's no dirt covering it. Give it a wipe or try using compressed air on the top edge to blast any dust away.
- Some people have reported success by pushing on the screen where the proximity sensor is located, which suggests a build issue.
- You could ask for a replacement unit, although some people have encountered the same issue on more than one device.

--- Posted by Sacha Wunsch-Vincent, World Intellectual Property Organization, Senior Economist (in personal capacity)
In the current environment, the search for new sprouts of growth preoccupies many of us. With the focus on austerity measures, the Euro and capital shortages, we have our heads in the macro-economy cloud; with some danger of getting lost in it…
At this juncture it is critical to remember what the important sources of growth really are. I mean innovation and entrepreneurship of course, in particular as they relate to new technologies and new jobs. I mean business and policy practices which avert the real risks to innovation-based growth in Europe. They matter. Let's not treat them as residuals to (surely equally important and connected) macro-economy matters.
With this in mind, I am thrilled to see that the Danish EU Presidency and the European Commission have decided that "Future growth is digital" and that something needs to be done about creating a Digital Single Market [Have you ever tried to shop online across borders in Europe? Worse, sell products or services online…? Not something for the mild-hearted]. In fact, a whole High Level Conference on 27-28 February 2012 will be devoted to this topic and I have gladly accepted to chair a session on "Promoting e-business innovation: New business models in a knowledge-based economy".
With a few excellent panelists: Eric Hazan (McKinsey), Alain Heureux (IAB Europe),
Erika Mann (Facebook), Graham Vickery (Independent Consultant) and Rolf Nordqvist (Bisnode AB), we will look at many issues which occupied me my previous function at OECD: the growth of digital content products and services, the rise of social networks, new business models related to big/open data,….All this with two questions on our mind:
1 - Can Europe live up in the area of digital innovation and produce "global players on this front? [Think online search, online video, social networks and the like]
2 - How can a common digital European market help?
Keep posted as I announce some of the details of the session.
And if you are an avid Internet innovator: Let me know the 2-3 most important roadblocks you see for e-business innovation in Europe!
You can either comment under this blog post or follow the discussions on twitter at #dsm12.
Main roadblock , from the actual Spanish economy, is financing . But not only for the entrepeneurs and innovators BUT for the CITIZENS PURCHASING POWER. Every IDEA needs financing media at every project phase, from concepts to development and market introduction, but the real fact that will make this IDEA to become a SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION is the MARKET SUCCESS, that is reflected from the CITIZENS acceptance and buying the solution.
Second roadblock R&D and education budgets reductions. R&D budget reduction at Spain and the actual young unemployment percentage - around 50% - are promoting the migration of the best, some of them significant to the EEUU participating in the most innovative research on biology and aerospace.
We do need solutions to promote the EU entrepreneurs to remain, proving our society with their very best IDEAS.

The arteries which supply blood to the leg originate from the aorta and iliac vessels.
These arteries can become blocked with atherosclerotic plaque. Symptoms of such a blockage include pain, most frequently in the foot and calf, and ulcers and non-healing sores of the foot and leg.
Peripheral arterial bypass surgery is required for atherosclerotic lesions in the arteries of the leg. This surgery involves using a vein graft (saphenous vein), taken from the same leg, and suturing the vein into the artery to bypass the blockage. While the patient is anesthetized using general or spinal anesthesia, an incision is made in the inside of the leg from the groin to below the knee.
The vein is freed from the surrounding tissue, and then sewn into place in the artery, above and below the atherosclerotic blockage.
Patients usually are able to walk within a few days of surgery, and often experience relief from pain immediately. Lifestyle changes, such as dietary changes and stopping smoking, are critical to the long-term success of peripheral arterial bypass surgery.

Erikson Institute
Application Program
For his entire career, Erik Erikson was interested in the conversations that might develop between psychoanalysis and other disciplines. His early masterwork, Childhood and Society, is a brilliant "record…of one worker's itinerary" of intellectual travels. Chapters on a Marine's combat crisis, the child-rearing practices of Native Americans and the childhoods of major European figures can be thought of as a two-way study in "application" – from psychoanalysis to anthropology, for example, but also vice versa.
In that spirit, the Erikson Institute attempts to bring the learning from the intensive and extensive clinical program at Riggs into interaction with other disciplines, practices and societal problems. The Erikson Scholar program works toward generating new knowledge at the interface between disciplines. The Application Program attempts to bring psychodynamic understanding to institutional and societal problems. This takes a number of forms including:

Cruises from New York, Boston, Baltimore and Montreal take you to ports in New England and Atlantic Canada, serving up lobsters, rugged coastline, whale-spotting, lighthouses, and a glorious fall display of colors (leaf-peeping without the hassle of clogged highways).
- The cruises range in duration from four days to two weeks.
- Port calls include such places as posh Newport, R.I., with its Gilded Age mansions; Boston and its historic Freedom Trail and Fenway Park; Bar Harbor, Maine, which offers the opportunity to explore beautiful Acadia National Park; Halifax, Nova Scotia, and its Titanic history; and St. John, New Brunswick, to experience the scenic wonders of the Bay of Fundy.
- Some longer cruises include Quebec City and the tree-lined fjord of Saguenay, which cuts through what may be the oldest rocks on earth.
The cruise season runs from June through October. There will be families on summertime cruises, especially the shorter four- and five-day itineraries, but come September, when the kids head back to school, cruises in this region are all about older adults.
Cruise to Canada and New England if you...
Are interested in colonial history. Want to try lobster fresh from the sea.
Don't go if you...
Are seeking a fun-in-the-sun vacation. Suffer from sea sickness (the Atlantic can get rough at times).

Here is an excerpt from a newsletter I had laying around.
"Okay, I'll admit it. I have left a trace or two in my day. How about you? Ever throw an apple core thinking "it's bio-degradable so its okay for the environment, right?" Ever pick some amazing wildflowers to adorn your home only to discover they are never quite as beautiful removed from their natural environment? I'm quite sure I would have thought twice if I was
more knowledgeable. The bottom line- I didn't fully comprehend how the cumulative actions of many people can diminish our outdoor experience as well as the health of an ecosystem.
I am convinced that most people want to and would "do the right thing" if only doing the right thing was evident and reasonable. I believe that is why Leave No Trace has been and continues to be so well received among outdoor recreationists. The Leave No Trace message asks us to apply common sense and good judgement. Leave No Trace empowers us to care for the places we cherish by equipping us with the basic knowledge we need to make small but ultimately meaningful choices regarding our actions."
Leave No Trace has become, since the mid 90's the way we do things in the out doors. To me it is not an hardship, it is simply a way that we can ensure the wilderness we love now will be around for Scouts in the future.
We will be discussing Leave No Trace a lot this year, as I know we can do things much better. Leave No Trace sometimes is just a buzz phrase in Scouting, and many do not really take it for what it really is. You always hear leaders saying "Leave no trace..pick up that trash". Well if the Scouts were taught better ways of reducing trash, the leaders would not need to remind them as much. We will get into that more later.
So to start.. here are the Principles of Leave No Trace.
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly (Pack It In, Pack It Out)
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
Happy Scouting!

If you're a liberal, you quadrennially reconcile yourself to the fact that the GOP is going to win the White House. Again. Republicans are just better than Democrats at scoring points with snark — think John Kerry windsurfing, or Mike Dukakis in that goddamn tank. They're also adept at whipping up patriotic fear and fervor, whether it's using 9/11 as a campaign prop or casting Barack Obama's candidacy as an exercise in self-indulgence. And at crucial moments — like the 2000 Florida recount — the Republicans seem to simply will themselves to victory.
This time, though, there's actually reason for optimism. Never mind the fact that this past week's Republican National Convention demonstrated the GOP's mastery of the darker political arts, or that Gallup shows John McCain with a post-convention lead over Obama, 49 percent to 44 percent. The RNC also featured McCain's formal, foolhardy declaration of war on the press — the same press, by the way, that made him a political superstar. Now the press seems inclined to fire back. And if this dynamic continues over the next two months — and the election is as close as everyone expects it to be — it could be the factor that makes Obama president.
An opportunity lost
Absent McCain's decision to demonize the press, the RNC would have been a home run. Take the cynically brilliant way that the Republicans spun Hurricane Gustav. By suspending the big speeches of September 1, the convention's first day, the GOP transformed Gustav from a dangerous reminder of past Republican failures (Hurricane Katrina, anyone?) into an inspiring example of selfless leadership that perfectly fit McCain's campaign slogan, "Country First." (Granted, ignoring Gustav was never really an option; the showiness surrounding the sacrifice of that first evening felt pretty political; and there actually was plenty of partisanship on display that evening — e.g., Laura Bush noting that all the governors saving the Gulf Coast from Gustav just happened to be Republicans. Still, it was a lucky break.)
And Gustav didn't just reinforce McCain's master narrative. It also made it easier for him and the rest of the GOP to distance themselves from President Bush. Thanks to the weather gods, the president and his debilitating unfavorable ratings never made it to Minnesota. Bush restricted himself to a video address on September 2, thereby de-emphasizing his central role in the party and avoiding any awkward reprise of 2000's infamous Bush-McCain hug. And all this, in turn, made it easier for McCain — who, according to Congressional Quarterly, voted with the president 95 percent of the time this past year — to cast himself as an Obama-esque agent of change when he accepted the nomination two days later. (The party faithful got the message, too; when I chatted with one California delegate in the Fox News tent, she answered every reference I made to the president with this riposte: he's not running. That's a tough point to debate.)
RIP, Straight Talk Express
So why — with everything going so swimmingly — did McCain decide to pick a fight with the press?

HAVES: HK-50 Head, Capt Typho & GI Joe fodder available still
Wants:L8-L9 Head, YVH-1 Complete (as possible),R7-T1 Complete (as possible),R7-Z0 Complete (as possible)
picked up wave crusher, glider and claw. haven't seen the cycle yet
I got the Target Eel and Air Viper today. Considering they're only $2 more than the basic figures, they're a steal!
The Eel looks awesome in the black and green. His jetski thing is pretty nice, but it's weird that the rocket launcher doesn't work in the "standing" position, which is the only position that looks good. But, boy, does it look good. He's going to be an Eel commander, marshalling the other Eels and Cobra Divers into battle.
The Air Viper comes with about three times as many bombs and missiles as can fit on the CLAW, providing lots of fodder for any Cobra armories you may want to build. The Viper coloration (silver and purple) seems silly, but looks pretty sweet in person. It's definitely a sort of night/stealth CLAW.
A word of caution: I found what looked like a relatively fresh case. There were tons of Air Vipers and Snake Eyeses, along with a few Grand Slams. Only one Eel, though. That boy's gonna be tough to find.
(Weird that you found no Snake Eyes cycles, Jax. Wonder what's up with that?)
I found a Helix last week, but she had the worst paint of any figure I've seen in ages, so I passed. These toys will be around in abundance, whether the film tanks or not, so she'll be around again.
That's my jacket!
Anyone in the Kansas area that wants to attend the GI Joe Con as press for ActionFigs.com? You must be able to take quality photos (organized in photos would be ideal) and FTP them each day day for our coverage. If interested, PM me.
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I keep forgetting to mention that I spotted the Dragon Hawk copter, Crimson Hydra stealth plane, and the Rhino at target tis past weekend. Unfortunately, I had to pass on them as I had already spent most of my paycheck on toys already.
I'm beginning to think there might be two different case packs for the Target deluxe - I didn't see any Snake Eyes cycles either at any of the Targets I checked this past week, but the Eels are plentiful.
Hmmm.... Maybe it wasn't as pristine a case as it appeared, and someone near me is army building Eels.
That's my jacket!
picked up the lone cycle today. had several gliders and claws on the shelves, but only one wave crusher as well. got dragonhawk and crimson hydra as well.
Okay, I opened up the Steel Crusher last night, and it's amazing. However, a question I've not seen addressed anywhere:
On the passenger side roof (when the armor is in the forward position), there's a hole that looks like it's for a figure to stand in. However, there are what appear to be two attachments for some accessory. Anyone know if there's some cool snap-on accessory that comes with one of the carded figures?
That's my jacket!
I saw the $10 Target figure/mini-vehicle packs today. They are a good deal considering the price of the basic figures. There were 2 Eels and at least 2 each of the others. Also saw the RHINO too - is that another MASK reference?
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
picked up General Hawk and Helix the other day. very nice figures. was hoping to find The Doctor or Paris Pursuit Baroness but no luck.
still haven't seen any signs of the Target Exclusive sets though
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Shares of sensor chip maker Synaptics (SYNA) are up $1.33, or 3.3%, at $42, in late trading after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q4 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in June was up 67%, year over year, at $230 million, yielding EPS of $1.39.
Analysts had been modeling $220.8 million and $1.24.
The revenue was at the high-end of the company's pre-announced range of $227 million to $230 million offered back on June 25th.
Synaptics CEO Rick Bergman remarked that the company's "markets are dynamic." He said the "declining PC market will continue to impact our growth rate."
PC-based revenue made up 25% of revenue in the quarter and was down 26% from the prior-year period.. Chips for mobile products made up 75%.
Synaptics management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eaastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor Web site.
Update: Bergman was kind enough to take a few minutes to chat with me following the announcement. I asked him about whether he's expecting a snap-back in PC sales this year, as Intel (INTC) has opined, as technologies such as touch move into more and more devices.
He is not officially expecting such, but seemed to hold out hope it would still happen somehow:
When I walk through Best Buy and I look at what you can buy for $400 or $500, I'm pretty impressed. Nobody puts it in our plans any more, because we've all been burned, but gosh, it seems like there's got to be a surge [in PC buying] because it's still the best productivity tool out there.
Regarding competitive positioning, Bergman expressed confidence, stating, "We are without a doubt the touch leader in the world."
"When the OEMs out there, the Samsung's of the world, and so on, want the best, they pick us. We are the first ones they come to."
He expressed enthusiasm for partner Uni-Pixel (UNXL), which is helping to bring down the cost of bringing touch control to PCs.
Update 2: On the call, management projected Q1 revenue of $210 million to $225 million, which is in line with consensus of $217 million. Synaptics shares are up 83 cents, or 2%, at $41.50 following the call.

Graycliff: Secret Frank Lloyd Wright house on the LakeAugust 4, 2013 12:00 PM
DERBY, N.Y. -- The newly restored Graycliff estate, a summer home Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Isabelle and Darwin Martin, has been a well-kept secret on the shores of Lake Erie for years.
Maybe not for much longer. This summer, the estate is the closest it has been in nearly a century to the property the famous architect designed in the 1920s.
Darwin Martin, secretary of Larkin Soap Co. in Buffalo, had earlier commissioned Wright to design a house for his family in Buffalo. Graycliff (www.graycliffestate.org), about 20 miles southwest of downtown Buffalo, was intended as a summer retreat for Mrs. Martin, who today would have been considered legally blind. Since she could only distinguish vague colors, fragrant flowers and shrubs were important to her and were incorporated into the landscape design. The main house on the property, which has been named the Isabelle R. Martin house, has long porches with dramatic views of Lake Erie, two-tiered flower boxes, sunken gardens and a fountain and pond in front.
As Wright said, the architecture was intended to infuse the property with a "spirit of repose." He worked with landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman to make sure that spirit extended to the 8-acre grounds.
With the landscaping recently finished, now is a prime time to tour Graycliff. It is one of the final steps in a long restoration project to undo what others did to Graycliff after Mrs. Martin spent her last summer there in 1943.
After her death in 1945, her son, Darwin R. Martin, sold the property to the Order of the Pious Schools commonly known as the Piarist Fathers. In the mid-1950s, the order built a school house, chapel and living space that concealed Wright's architecture. They also probably removed the fountain and pond.
When the priests decided to sell the house in 1997, it appeared a developer might buy and demolish it -- until a group of Buffalonians banded together and formed the Graycliff Conservancy. The Graycliff Conservancy was able to raise about $450,000, which was enough to secure the house. It started providing tours later in 1997. At the time of the first tours, some of the priests still lived in the house and would occasionally wave to tour groups in their bathrobes, said Reine Hauser, executive director of the conservancy.
The conservancy has now completed about 75 percent of the house's renovation, including all structural repairs to the exteriors of the three Wright-designed buildings, including balconies, terraces, windows, doors and chimney. It also installed an underground drainage system throughout the property.
The landscape renovation, completed in July, included the return of a fountain and pond in front of the main house. The flow of water starts at the front of the house and ends at the lake in the back, a hint of the role water would play later at Fallingwater. Long glass windows on the porch at the front of the house allow one to see straight through to glistening Lake Erie in the backyard.
Two of the house's most scenic vistas are visible from porches that Mrs. Martin frequented. The first-floor front porch overlooks flower beds and the pond, while the second-floor porch off Mrs. Martin's room provides the best view of the lake.
In addition to the landscaping and porches, her wishes are represented in a number of other ways. Although Wright despised closets, Mrs. Martin's bedroom at Graycliff includes a walk-in closet. The servants quarters are pleasant and well-lit by large windows, believed to be another request by Mrs. Martin.
Anyone who has ever been in a Wright-designed house will recognize his distinctive style. As one walks through various rooms, the line between inside and outside is difficult to distinguish.
In one corner, flower boxes are mounted on the inside, and the sunken flower garden beyond the front porch makes the porch appear almost like another room of the house. At several inside corners, panels of glass are separated only by a thin metal rod. This is thought to be a precursor to Fallingwater's famous corner windows.
All of the stone used on the chimney and at various places throughout the property is original and found on the shores of Lake Erie. The sandstone has a naturally occurring orange stain from iron oxide within it. Wright apparently liked it and requested that the stone masons leave it exposed. It fits well with the orange/red color scheme of the roofs and walls, and similar stone was used for the new pond at Graycliff.
The number of people who visit the property has increased dramatically since the restoration began. Beginning in the late 1990s with a few hundred visitors per year, the number has grown to 10,000 people last year from across the United States and the world. Graycliff is a secret no more.travel - mobilehome - homes - artarchitecture

BAR PRESIDENT GWYNNE YOUNG, right, shared words of encouragement and advice at the "Table for Eight" event at the Ninth Annual Minority Mentoring Picnic in Hialeah as Coastal Law student Sharlene Gonzalez listens. The event drew thousands of law students, lawyers, and judges to join in opportunities to mentor.
The Magic of Mentoring
By Jan Pudlow
Senior Editor
The mission of the Ninth Annual Kozyak Minority Mentoring Picnic worked like magic.
Channing Lewis, a student at Palm Beach Atlantic University, wore a sticker that advertised: "I need mentor."
He walked up to Jonathan Etra, a partner and shareholder at Broad and Cassel and member of the Bar's Business Law Section, who was wearing an "I need mentee" sticker.
Amid the music and laughter and tents of delectable food, they connected for a meaningful conversation that culminated in a mentoring relationship.
"Young Channing came over and engaged in a serious discussion. This is a serious, smart young man. He's motivated and very focused. I'd like to try to guide him in his career in life, if I can," Etra said. "And I get the thrill of shaping the future of a fine young man."
That's how this picnic with a purpose is supposed to work.
Law students from all over the state — and even some from out of state — gathered at Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah on November 10, hoping to get advice from lawyers and judges while they work to get their law degrees and enter the legal profession.
The picnic's creator, Miami lawyer John Kozyak, estimated the crowd was even greater than last year's ball-park 3,000.
"But more importantly, we really have been stressing all year that we want people who are interested in the mentoring. The food is fantastic. The entertainment is fantastic. But we want people to come because they are interested in the students," Kozyak said. "This year, I think we have the hard core and the believers here."
The believers were abundant.
Sitting at a picnic table near the volleyball court, A. Jay Cristol, a federal bankruptcy judge, said, "I hope to make some small contribution to the wonderful project that my friend John Kozyak started many years ago. I've been coming to every one of these events, and each year it gets bigger and bigger and better and better."
Miami-Dade County Judge Fred Seraphin said, "I hope to meet some very interesting law students and very interesting lawyers. I hope to benefit as much as I hope to benefit somebody else's future. I like to share my experience. I've had at least four people I've mentored. We're still friends, and they're all practicing now. It's a wonderful opportunity to give back. That's what this is all about."
Former Florida Bar President Alan Bookman, a Pensacola lawyer in Miami for depositions, swung by the picnic that he called a "great event."
"I have had a couple of mentees over the years. It's fun. I get reinvigorated. I see the enthusiasm and the desire to learn, and it's a good thing. And it's easy! I just sit in my office and talk on the phone," Bookman said.
Leigh-Ann Buchanan — a lawyer at Berger Singerman, a member of the Wilkie Ferguson Bar Association, and the Young Lawyers Division and Trial Lawyers Section of The Florida Bar — said she had several mentors through the Kozyak Minority Mentoring Foundation program while she was a law student at the University of Miami.
"I never miss it. I am paying it forward and reaching back to see how much I can help somebody else," Buchanan said, adding it was her sixth year attending the picnic.
Cinthya Beato, a second-year law student in the evening program at Florida International University, said she hoped to "grab a mentor to sort of give me advice, guide me, and be there for me when I have a question, to shoot an email. There's always something we wonder about, something a lawyer has already gone through what I am going through now, to give me insight and tips on how to get better."
Born in the Dominican Republic, Beato said she immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was 9 years old.
"I am in the process of applying for my citizenship," she said. "You never know, I may end up working for the government. I love this country so much. It's my home, and it's become a part of me."
A new feature of this year's picnic was gathering under the Leaders and Legends Tent for a seat at a "Table for Eight," where legal luminaries had 15-minute informal chats with law students, and then switched tables to lend advice to another group of students.
Bar President Gwynne Young took a seat at a table with Camille Smith and Sharlene Gonzalez, both 2Ls from Florida Coastal in Jacksonville, and two brothers who traveled from out of state for the event: Brandon Roby, a law student at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and Jarret Roby, a law student at Washington University in St. Louis, Kozyak's alma mater.
Young quickly chronicled her rise from being the first female prosecutor in Hillsborough County, where she gained a lot of trial experience, to Carlton Fields, where she made partner and shareholder within five years when the firm had only 65 lawyers and three locations in the state.
Young advised the law students to get a good legal education, but branch out volunteering in the community and getting summer internships.
"It's important to show that you are a doer, that you volunteer, that you can manage your time," Young said.
Too soon, those 15 minutes were up, and Young moved on to the next table.
Next to join this table was Hans Ottinot, city attorney for the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
He got the students' attention when he said, "When I got out of law school, I had $5 to my name. Now I'm making six figures."
And, he said, it's all due to work, work, work.
Coastal student Smith commented that she is always asked what she wants to do and in what area of the law.
"It's the pressure of you having to know everything about getting experience," she said with a sigh.
Ottinot tried to simplify things.
"Don't get caught up in the specialties," he said. "All you have to figure out now is civil or criminal."
He got a big laugh when he shared how he interned at a public defender's office: "When I started looking at pictures of murder victims, I tell you what! Oh, no! Get me quickly to the civil side!"
Three days after the picnic, Brandon Roby reported that he left the picnic with an "unofficial mentor," Kevin Probst of Legal Services of Greater Miami, and a member of the Bar's Public Interest Law Section and YLD.
"He offered to assist me in networking with individuals in the Florida legal market and hopefully help me move into the area and find positions that fit my interests and skill set," Brandon Roby said.
"I had a great time at the picnic. I learned some things about some companies that I was already familiar with, and was able to get in front of some very influential and knowledgeable people. I also learned some things about companies that I didn't know about, and a few of them are now on my radar in terms of career purposes. As I don't know very many people in the market, I think it was a good start for me to meet and network with individuals in the area and make them aware of my interests, and hopefully open a line of communication for the future."
