Director: Patrick E. Gipson, M.D.
The Inherited Kidney Diseases Clinic in the Division of Nephrology helps diagnose and treat adults with genetically determined kidney diseases. We work closely with patients' local physicians to help coordinate treatment, education and follow-up. Children may be evaluated through the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, with dedicated pediatric nephrologists.
Over 60 genetic diseases are currently known that directly or indirectly affect the kidneys. Of these, some are relatively common. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) occurs in 1 in 500 people. It is passed down from parent to child through generations, and is the cause of kidney failure for more than 20,000 people currently living in the United States with many more affected worldwide. Major problems from ADPKD usually occur in adulthood. Other inherited kidney diseases are less common. Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) affects about 1 in 30,000 people. It generally causes symptoms in early to late childhood. While both of these diseases can cause severe health problems, there are other inherited kidney diseases, such as Thin Basement Membrane Disease, that may be very mild and cause no major problems at all.
At the University of Michigan, clinical nephrologists as well as specialists in genetics, urology, radiology and pathology help address the special issues that may arise from having a kidney disease with a genetic cause.

Dear Santa,
After XMas could you and your elves check on the Bespin Solo to make certain it continues the current home runs Hasbro has been hitting? Thanks Santa, you are the best!
P.S. While we're on the ESB, could you also check up on a great Degobah Yoda to match the great Bespin Luke?
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
Not me. I'm crossing my fingers for a re-release of the 1997 figure with better paint.
That's my jacket!
At CV, Derryl confirmed on his computer that Bespin Han will be 100% all-new. Hopefully it turns out well.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Curses. I look at what they can do with a paint mask now, and think of how awesome a totally new paint job on the 1997 figure would be.
That's my jacket!
totally agree it was my favourite as a kid still is i mean can it really be that hard to get it right? they done a sterling job on luke its hans turn now
Yeah, new is the way to go, something that's not remotely related to any of the previous Vintage-style Han figures with their long necks and bad sculpts and scrawniness.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
they ruined the endor han as well the holster looks like its floating off his leg i think they should go back to the drawin board and start from scratch maybe get the opinion off the fans before they produce it

The 2011 K-1 Season: Middleweights (MAX)
- Written by Dave Walsh
The past two years in K-1 MAX have been transformation years for the K-1 MAX division. In 2009 an Italian fighter by the name of Giorgio Petrosyan looked poised to take the whole tournament, Japanese ace Masato decided not to participate in the World MAX tournament and instead announced he would retire by the end of the year. Yuya Yamamoto seemed poised and energized to take that "Masato spot" in K-1 MAX until Giorgio Petrosyan beat the ambition out of him. Andy Souwer and Buakaw Por. Pramuk met again in the semi-finals, with Souwer moving on to the finals where Petrosyan took him to task and handily took his first title.
Then 2010 was a strange year for the K-1 MAX division. There was no Masato, there would be scheduling issues galore, with the traditional line-up of shows not happening. A few of the Final 16 bouts happened on the -63kgs show, then a few in Europe way later in the year. Yuya Yamamoto fell, and hard, while Yuichiro Nagashima looked like a man-on-fire, determined to take MAX by storm. The one thing Nagashima didn't account for was "Iron" Mike Zambidis having a career revival, putting on a FOTY with Chahid Oulad El Hadj and then KO'ing Nagashima in the 3rd round. Something felt missing for fans, as there was no Masato and Buakaw Por. Pramuk had apparently not been invited back into the MAX tournament, nor had Andy Souwer, the man who made the finals the year before and was in Masato's retirement bout. Zambo's run at the top was stopped by Petrosyan and Yoshihiro Sato's run to the finals was met with stiff competition from Petrosyan, who easily captured his second crown.
This leaves us in an existential quandary over 2011. Here is what is clear; Giorgio Petrosyan will rip through the competition as long as injuries don't hold him back. Yoshihiro Sato will be back and looking to finally take his place as the Japanese ace, but will he choke in the big matches again? Yuya Yamamoto might want to prove that his run in 2009 wasn't a fluke, but the chances of him succeeding are not high. Yuichiro Nagashima ended 2010 by destroying Shinya Aoki at Dynamite!! during the MMA rules portion of their fight, and his cosplaying fans have apparently been giving poor Aoki a tough time and haunting him everywhere he goes, to the degree that his Twitter is gone and he is basically in hiding. Let's not kid around, Nagashima had a breakout year in 2010 and might be able to do better in 2011.
Of course, the man that derailed him last year was ZAMBO, "Iron" Mike Zambidis. Nobody expected Zambo to come to war and make it as far as he did, but he did. That fire that was lit under him will most likely not disappear, expect him to be a force again this year. Artur Kyshenko was upset by Mohammed Khamal in the Final 16, but Kyshenko will be back with a vengeance, and expect the young blood of Khamal to once again come to fight. Then, of course, there is Gago Drago. Drago is one of the most exciting and frustrating fighters in the world, with his recent string of losses and inconsistent performances and the rise of much more exciting and consistent fighters in Europe it is hard to argue he still has a spot in MAX. Mosab Amrani went to war with Mootje on December 18th and would make for an awesome inclusion in the MAX playing field. Artem Levin has been fighting at 75kgs, and if he can drop 5kgs more he could be an absolute beast in the MAX division, especially after taking home the gold at the Sport Accord World Combat games last year at 75kgs. I also fully expect Albert Kraus to be back and ready to fight.
Of course, with all of these favorites, the real question is, can anyone stop Giorgio Petrosyan?

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By WSJ Staff
The final day of New York's Electric Zoo three-day music festival has been cancelled in the wake of the deaths of two attendees.
The city says the deaths apparently were linked to the drug MDMA, or ecstasy. According to a report by the Associated Press, a city medical examiner said autopsy results were inconclusive and additional toxicology and tissue testing was required.
In a statement posted online, the city said: "Due to serious health risks, the Electric Zoo music festival on Randall's Island on Sunday, September 1st has been cancelled. The City recommended cancellation and the event promoters have agreed."
The statement went on to say "During the first two days of the Electric Zoo music festival, two concert-goers have died and at least four others became critically ill and have been placed in intensive care at area hospitals. Definitive causes of death have not yet been determined, however, both appear to have involved the drug MDMA (ecstasy, or molly). The Electric Zoo organizers have worked with City officials to reduce health risks at this event, but in view of these occurrences, the safest course is to cancel the remaining day of the event."
The Electric Zoo featured such acts on its bill as Avicii and David Guetta. Sunday's lineup would have featured Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Aoki, Diplo and other popular music acts.
The Electric Zoo festival put this note up on its website: "The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today."
An article about the Electric Zoo in the Wall Street Journal in 2011 wrote "Some artists heralded Electric Zoo as New York's first answer to the mega techno festivals of Europe and Los Angeles, such as the Electric Daisy Carnival, which this year moved from L.A. to Las Vegas and drew 200,000 fans."
The article went on to say "Still, festival organizers may be somewhat ambivalent about rave culture: Among other illicit items, glowsticks were banned (security staff wore the accessories they confiscated). But what the festival lacked in Day-Glo, it made up for in luxuries: There was Veuve Clicquot champagne for $36 per glass."

This test looks for white blood cells in your stool, which can help your health care provider diagnose the cause of inflammatory diarrhea.
White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are immune system cells that can show up in the stool if you have inflammatory diarrhea. This type of diarrhea may be a symptom of an infection caused by bacteria such as Shigella, Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter, or Salmonella. It may also occur in inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
You might have this test if you have inflammatory diarrhea. Symptoms may include:
Numerous small loose stools
Blood or mucus in the stool
Severe cramping in your abdomen
Your doctor may order other tests that look at the stool for:
Lactoferrin or calprotectin, which are substances made by certain white blood cells
Your doctor may also order a stool culture. For this test, bacteria in a stool sample are encouraged to grow in the lab so they can be seen.
A result for a lab test may be affected by many things, including the method the laboratory uses to do the test. If your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
White blood cells in the stool may mean that you have inflammation in your gastrointestinal tract. But a negative result doesn't rule out a problem. Some people with these illnesses don't have white blood cells in their stool.
Your health care provider will give you a special container with a tightly fitting lid to place the stool sample in. If you aren't able to produce a stool sample, your doctor may collect a sample by inserting a swab into your rectum.
Urine or toilet paper may contamínate the sample, affecting the results. Drinking milk can affect the results.
You don't need to prepare for this test, but it's a good idea to tell the health care provider about other health problems you may have. Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Landed on the Pacific Islands
Today was the first day of my 5-day tour of our Pacific Islands operations.
The first day was filled with good people. I met with staff in our Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, had lunch with Division of Forestry and Wildlife Chief, Paul Conroy, visited with Governor Neil Abercrombie, and met with the partners in the Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC).
In the evening we boarded a jet for the trip to Midway Atoll NWR, home to some of most amazing wildlife in the world. The plane flies at night to avoid potential for collisions with one of the million-plus albatross nesting on the islands of the Atoll. I'll be posting new photos later on in the trip, but here is an old shot taken on the Refuge just to give you a sense what this many birds can look like:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Jeremiah 29 :31
Thanks Kim. Frank has really grown up this year and we feel he has a bright all age future. John
1st of all Micki/Bill/Ammo You have the dog, you have the full support and backing of your family, BUT without your diligent study of the dog and it's responses, without the mentoring of Dave and some others, without the sacrifice- sleep,money, time,driving and ONLY because you have NOT tried to win the National at age 3, but may well win the 2014 or 2015. It was fun to see you sweating Rosa in the Am- as I said she is 7and you are 4 and you will have many future DHs but not today. Well both of us were almost perfect going into the H2O blind and when it was over neither of us were back. The present as you know I have severe anemia and malnutrition(125 lbs). I train everyday even if it's only drills and teaching concepts with dead birds BUT now as I told you I have the motivation to resume where I left off with Don Berard and Ritz- he prevailed but I was always on his tail and sometimes things were reversed. What a GREAT dog, wonderful man&wife and now you/Micki/Ammo have filled in- a dedicated amateur who works at every trial and trains his own dog and because God gave Ammo what she has naturally and you have been smart enough not to try and change it. Now you have reignited a spark that I always had when going against Roy McFall, Peter Lane, Don Berard, Ray Goodrich and Charlie Hill. They all had 1 or 2 very good self trained dogs and they were tough. Today when an amateur has 6-10 high dollar dogs and runs the amateur it is not much fun and usually that person causes us to wait while they either sand bag or claim to be at another stake. That situation causes the time management to be thrown askew and as 31 of us wait for her(or in some cases him) we all have the same feelings yet for fear of not being popular they all grumble under their breath. The health of the sport is what I care about and to be "popular" is not my concern. Now you, Lee Jolley, Bobby Lane have made my life more fun- thank you all. Bill you are helping me to forget about the health problems for a period of time(until I go out) because I am always trying to at least tie Ammo. The future is ours and I am fortunate to have you as a friend. See you at PRTA friday, unless you scratch because Nora and Rosa are appearing. Your friend and admirer- Lanse
Great post Lanse! You are a true sportsman!
Bill Davis
Lanse, Congratulations again on the WIN! We will thank the Lord when we win and we will thank the Lord when we lose. You work hard and have had so many great dogs. The camaraderie that we share is unique. Thank you for all the good times!! You are an icon and a mentor too many, including us. Thanks for the dance!!! Bill
Bill & Micki
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Soy nuts, Chex and Cheerios take a healthy hike into this Colorado mix with raisins and chocolate.
Cheerios cereal in this trail mix is made with oats. Oats are loaded with soluble fiber that helps to lower blood cholesterol--good for your heart.
Soybeans have the highest-quality vegetable protein, considerably more than other legumes or nuts. Look for roasted soy nuts in the bulk-foods section at your local supermarket or food cooperative.
Replacing the raisins with dried cranberries makes the mix more colorful and adds a cranberry tang.

By NEMS Daily Journal
An atmosphere of palpable uncertainty exists in the aftermath of the 2013 legislative session, with lawmakers obviously thinking about how the state's Medicaid program can be salvaged from a procedural death on deadline in the regular session.
Democrats, pushing for an expansion of the Medicaid system under terms of the federal Affordable Care Act, blocked the program's required renewal so that benefits stop July 1 – unless Republican Gov. Phil Bryant calls a special session to hammer out an agreement or some workable alternative is proposed.
Mississippi clearly must have Medicaid, which provides health insurance coverage for a broad category of poor, elderly and otherwise disadvantaged people – 630,000 of them statewide.
An additional 300,000 people, broadly called "the working poor," could become eligible under the ACA, known more generally as Obamacare.
All the Republican statewide officials object to Obamacare as a matter of political principle and preference.
What must happen is to find a way to stop fixating on expanded health insurance coverage as Obamacare. The expanded coverage, which would be paid fully by the federal government for three years, is about Mississippians who need health insurance, not about the president.
In addition, expanded coverage potentially would erase some of the uncompensated care deficit that falls squarely on the private sector and taxpayers. So far, states representing 53 percent of the nation's population have said they will expand coverage, which provides some advantages in quality of life and economic magnetism.
As reported Friday by the Associated Press, "Medicaid would be expanded to bring in low-income adults, mainly people with no children at home but also some parents. In states that accept the expansion, those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level – about $15,400 for an individual – would be entitled to receive Medicaid. The federal government would pay 100 percent of the expansion's cost for the first three years, starting in 2014. Washington's share would gradually phase down to 90 percent."
Arkansas is considering an alternative that technically would not be a Medicaid expansion but would use federal funds to purchase private insurance coverage at no or very low cost to eligible Arkansans through the state's insurance exchange, which is already operational.
The AP's Friday article said, " … 17 states are weighing options, with some actively negotiating with (HHS Secretary) Sibelius to see if the new enrollees can be covered through private plans."
We hope legislators on both sides of the aisle and the issue can see enough light to explore and seriously discuss those alternatives to the usual way of providing coverage through Medicaid.
Mississippi's health insurance exchange has been fully structured, but Gov. Bryant blocked its implementation by objection to HHS even though the exchange was designed by Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, Bryant's fellow Republican, also elected statewide.
Bryant has said he will call a special session only if there's pre-agreement and that the agreement reflects his hard-line views.
Gubernatorial leadership needs to reflect more flexibility on an issue of such vital importance to more than 900,000 Mississippians potentially impacted by a standoff, not to mention the adverse impact on the state's economy.

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — AP journalists are fanning out across the capital to cover Inauguration Day as part of a running feed of content and analysis. Here are their reports, which will be updated through the day.
Sally Buzbee, AP's Washington bureau chief, unpacks one piece of President Barack Obama's inaugural address.
I'm not like you. You're not like her. She's not like him. Yeah, so what? We can — must — still find common ground.
That was the point of the somewhat subtle argument used today by President Barack Obama to make a basic point: Government officials shoulder a responsibility to take action and solve problems, even if they disagree on some basic beliefs.
"Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life," the president asserted in his inaugural address. "It does not mean we all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness."
But, he said, even if Americans can't settle "centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time," officials do have the responsibility to take action to try to make progress on the immediate problems the country faces.
The idea that liberty can be defined in different ways and that there are different paths to happiness has particular resonance, of course, in a country that is becoming ever more diverse. Polls show that increasing diversity makes some Americans uncomfortable.
But beyond that sweeping philosophical point, the president's argument also had a clear, pragmatic — and more immediate — political purpose: to unite people who are deeply dug in on their beliefs and harness their energy to seek common ground and practical solutions.
"For now, decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle," the president said. It's a highly relevant point for a president who must will spend the next several years trying to seek compromise with politicians who believe things quite different than he does.
— By Sally Buzbee
President Barack Obama is fond of saying: "We cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good." His point: sometimes we have to settle for half a loaf.
Well, that's what he got in Washington today during his second inauguration — in attendance, that is.
Turnout was "definitely above 800,000" and possibly up to 1 million people, according to Chris Geldart, who directs the District of Columbia's homeland security and emergency management agency. That estimate is based on aerial views of how the crowd filled sections of the mall.
That's about half of the 1.8 million people who showed up for Obama's first inauguration in 2009.
— Liz Sidoti — Twitter http://twitter.com/lsidoti
A look at the issues that those who govern the country will face during Barack Obama's second term. Up now: the climate.
President Barack Obama is picking a fresh fight on climate change, saying in his inaugural address that a failure to act to curb it would betray future generations. He's hoping to tackle the issue — and live up to his prediction during the 2008 campaign that he would. But addressing the matter will be difficult.
The president has acknowledged that climate change was pushed to the back burner during his first term while he dealt with wrenching economic challenges and spent much of his political capital on reforming health care. But now he appears to be trying to make the case for action by pointing to the destruction of Hurricane Sandy, annual wildfires and droughts rivaling the Dust Bowl.
Says Obama: "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought and more powerful storms."
Even amid the natural disasters, any attempt to respond to global warming faces a daunting prospect in Congress, where legislation narrowly cleared the House in 2009 but died in the Senate. Republicans control the House now and many Democrats in the Senate view the issue with suspicion — especially about a half-dozen Senate Democrats facing re-election next year who represent states carried by Republican Mitt Romney.
When Obama won enough support in the Democratic primaries to secure the 2008 Democratic nomination, he said future generations would look back at that night as "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." Heading into his second term, one of the main questions is whether he meets that test.

It was at 6:31 p.m. tonight, just before the inaugural parade ended, that the bagpipers passed the president's reviewing stand playing their oddly compelling medley of "America, the Beautiful" and "God Bless America." One wonders whether Irving Berlin ever considered what it would be like to hear his famous song in bagpipe.
Barack Obama began the second term of his presidency today in many ways. You could say he began it leading a fractious nation (many did). You could say he began it with daunting tasks at hand (certainly true). Or you could say, quite accurately, that he began his second four years as leader of the free world by spending quite a bit of time listening to unusual and diverse versions of American musical standards.
The works of John Philip Sousa, who was born on Capitol Hill in 1854, turned up more than once, and one wonders how many people these days can identify "Stars and Stripes Forever" (1896) anymore. "My Country 'Tis of Thee" (1831) made several appearances, too, with few people perhaps considering that it shares a melody with Britain's "God Save the Queen."
This after some high-ticket performers tried their hands. James Taylor pulled off a very affecting "America the Beautiful" (first published in 1910). Kelly Clarkson chimed in with an offbeat "My Country 'Tis of Thee." And Beyonce belting out "The Star-Spangled Banner"? Electric.
The inevitable "Hail to the Chief," of course, which was first used for the president in the early 1800s, popped up regularly through the day, and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1861) echoed through the streets of Washington more than once as well. If you were watching and listening, you heard the best of the American songbag presented in ways as varied and diverse as America itself. Exciting stuff.
Too bad the parade's over, though. A few more minutes and who knows? We might have been treated to Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" — on the Australian didgeridoo.

A look at the issues that those who govern the country will face during Barack Obama's second term. Up now: the deficit.
President Barack Obama devotes one word — "deficit" — to the issue that brought Washington to the brink of fiscal crises time and again during his first term.
But it's the paragraph that follows in his inaugural address that foreshadows what's to come: more hard bargaining and more last-minute deals driven by a conviction that he wields an upper hand.
"We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future," he says. "The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
This was the language of his re-election campaign. And while his address contained no reference to either political party, his pointed rejection of "a nation of takers" was an implicit reminder of the ill-timed surfacing of Mitt Romney's declaration that Obama's support came from the 47 percent of American voters "who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."

President Barack Obama got his start in politics as a community organizer nearly 30 years ago on Chicago's South Side. He hasn't stopped organizing since.
He didn't waste much time after delivering his second inaugural address to implore his backers to join his campaign's new nonprofit organization, Organizing for Action.
The president said in an email to supporters that the group was the "next step in our grassroots movement and will be crucial to finishing what we started."
"If you haven't already, say you'll be a part of it," Obama wrote, directing supporters to a web link with more details.
The nonprofit, which will raise money from corporate and grassroots donors, is an unusual creation, essentially morphing a presidential re-election campaign into a nonprofit organization built to back up Obama's efforts in Congress.
Organizers of the group, composed of top Obama aides, have vowed to build support for the president's plans on gun control, immigration and climate change. The group will operate outside the confines of the White House and Obama's political arm, the Democratic National Committee.
It sets up a test of whether Obama can turn his political army into a powerhouse grassroots lobbying machine for his agenda — in other words, whether the community organizer-turned president can organize the country behind his goals.

These folks know how to keep warm.
At the Canadian Embassy, a couple hundred guests lined up on the chilly open promenade of the embassy for that country's native treats: a fried dough delicacy of Beavertails, beer and hot cider.
"We love Obama!" said Pam Hooker, co-owner of Ottawa-based BeaverTails Canada Inc., as she handed out the fried dough to the embassy crowd from a bright red food truck parked on the embassy grounds. Her husband Grant Hooker says they created the "ObamaTail" version of the flat, oval-shaped fried dough, topped cinnamon sugar, whipped cream and chocolate and maple topping. "President Obama insisted on having one" when he visited Ottawa in 2009, Grant says, but "security whisked him away after we handed him one, and we never got to hear back on what he thought of it."
The Canadian embassy had an ideal vantage point overlooking the parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue. It also offered stunning views of the Capitol and National Mall.
Talk among the diplomats and military officers, in a mix of English and French, veered from talk of how Canadian troops would be out of Afghanistan by 2014, to hopes that the US Congress and the White House would see eye to eye and avert another fiscal cliff drama.
"We think of ourselves as being at 'center ice' here on Pennsylvania Avenue halfway between the Hill and the White House," says Canadian Ambassador Gary Doer. Center ice is an ice hockey term, for the center of the rink between the two goals. "We are hoping for similar balance between the two in 2013," he said with a smile.

"There are some people, powerful people, who aren't happy to have a black man as president. And they are going to keep fighting him every step." — Curtis Martin, 75, at a Martin Luther King Day rally at the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia, S.C.

Could this be a sign of Biden 2016?
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were out of sight after walking parts of the presidential inauguration parade. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, filled the void, working the cheering crowds that lined the streets of Washington D.C.
It was a powerful symbol — and an enormous opportunity for a man who is leaving the door open to his own presidential run. Biden took full advantage, waving presidentially to the crowd, glad-handing with onlookers, and even running across Pennsylvania Avenue at one point to shake hands with a group of onlookers.
And what does it say about Obama's personal preference for his successor in 2016, with a full slate of Democrats in governorships, in Congress and even in his own cabinet likely thinking about throwing their name into the ring for the open presidential seat in 2016? How many presidents have let their vice president walk alone — with the real president nowhere in sight — during the president inauguration parade, one of America's most-watched spectacles?

President Barack Obama had an interesting greeting for his former congressional colleagues as he entered the Capitol for his swearing in.
"I miss this place," he said with a big smile as he greeted leaders of the Senate and House.
Obama served in the Senate for four years as an Illinois Democrat before becoming president in 2009.
What he didn't say: Congress — and particularly the Republican-controlled House — made it difficult for him to get his agenda passed in the first term, and is likely to continue doing the same in the second term.

The hulking structure paying tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. didn't exist during President Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2009. It opened two years later, and this time it was a popular stop for people honoring the slain civil rights leader on the day of his remembrance as well as on the day of Obama's second public swearing-in.
Nicole Hailey, 34, had driven with her family from Monroe, N.C., a six-hour drive they started at midnight. She says her family made a point of coming to the MLK memorial before staking out a spot for the swearing-in ceremony. She says: "We're just celebrating freedom."
Jon Barton, 61, and his wife Brooke Stephens, 59, of Roanoke, Va., had knocked on doors to get out the vote for Obama. On Monday, they were visiting the MLK memorial before heading to the mall. "When you grew up in the 60s, this means a lot," Stephens said while looking at the statue of King.
And Kona Brown, 45, of Annapolis, Md., and her friend Donna Thomas, 45, of Fort Worth, Texas, were both visiting the memorial for the first time. Brown called it beautiful and emotional, because it brought back stories of the Civil Rights movement she was told growing up. "What better day to come see the memorial?" she said, adding that King had helped pave the way for Obama to become president.

AP Political Editor Liz Sidoti's wrap-up on what we learned today from the president's second inaugural address.
At the outset of a second term, this is an empowered Barack Obama — one who made clear that he knows he has political capital, and that he plans to spend it.
He signaled that he's ready — or, rather, that he has a duty — to tackle big challenges. And that he wants Republicans to walk with him in that endeavor. But he also indicated that he has core beliefs on which he won't compromise. Like the notion that government can be a tool — not THE tool — for solving what ails the nation. And the need to curb climate change. And the fact that all people are created equal, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. And, finally, that you don't always have to see the world the same way to get things done.
In doing so, he's suggesting that he has a responsibility to press his agenda even if the deeply divided nation — and its equally fractured leaders — refuse to heed his call to come together to address the nation's problems.

Talk about a road trip. Mattece Mason traveled with eight members of her family — three generations — in a 12-passenger van from Tulsa, Okla., to New York City for a night, and, finally, to Washington, D.C. for the festivities.
After the ceremony, the 34-year-old Mason sat on a bench with three of her daughters and traded impressions of the day.
"It was just momentous. I think the second inauguration of this president was even more important than the first. Because it was based on his credentials, you know?" Mason said. Twelve-year-old Sanaa added: "It made me feel good. I got to see Obama!" And 8-year-old Jada said: "I got to see the president AND Beyonce."
Asked about Michelle's hair, the mother and daughters screamed and gushed about how much they loved the first lady's new bangs.
Mason said her 14-year-old daughter Aubrianna told her that she wanted bangs now, too. "That made me feel great because my girls have such a role model. A first lady they can emulate."

Yes, Mr. President. We can see you.
As band after band passed by the White House viewing stand, a standing President Barack Obama bobbed his head and bopped to the beat, a giant grin on his face.
His wife, Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia did a bit of chair dancing, and craned their necks to see the performers.
They, too, eventually stood up, and followed Obama — bobbing their heads and clapping their hands.
— Liz Sidoti — Twitter http://twitter.com/lsidoti
Sentiments of bipartisanship and an interest in working together: That's what Republicans are offering as President Barack Obama starts his second term.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky says the day shows that "our major political parties can disagree with civility and mutual respect." He wishes Obama well on the next four years.
McConnell says the second term represents a "fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day," including federal spending and debt. He said Republicans believed that "divided government provides the perfect opportunity to do so."
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's running mate, notes that he and Obama were "political opponents" and had "strong disagreements over the direction of the country — as we still do now." But Ryan says that on Inauguration Day, "we put those disagreements aside" and "remember what we share in common."
Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, speaking shortly before Obama's address, invoked Alex Haley, the author of "Roots," who lived by the motto, "Find the good and praise it." Alexander says that when America's government transfers or reaffirms power, "we do this in a peaceful, orderly way. There is no mob, no coup, no insurrection."

President Barack Obama's speech clocked in at 18 minutes — a relatively tight and short inaugural address.
— Darlene Superville — Twitter http://twitter.com/dsupervilleap
More analysis from Michael Oreskes, AP's senior managing editor for U.S. news and co-author of a book on the Constitution's role in American life:
From the same podium where President Obama stood today, Ronald Reagan famously said that in the present crisis government is not the solution, government is the problem. Three decades on, emerging from another, even deeper crisis, Obama said government is, at least part of the solution.
Americans remain skeptical of central authority and have never succumbed to the fiction that government is the total solution, he said.
"But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action," Obama said.
"For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people."
Perhaps it is the ultimate sign of the end of the Reagan era that a president who uses a phrase like "collective action" could be re-elected.

President Barack Obama emphasized three prongs of civil rights, declaring, "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still."
He went further, with direct mentions of equality regardless of race, gender and sexual orientation. He referenced both Selma and Stonewall — landmark events for black and gay Americans, respectively — and talked of our country finally seeing its wives and mothers earning an "equal living" for the work that they do.
"It is our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began," he said on this day, which is also Martin Luther King Day in the United States.
—Liz Sidoti — Twitter http://twitter.com/lsidoti
"Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness." — Barack Obama, in his second inaugural address.
"We remember the lessons of our past … we do not believe in this country that freedom is reserved for the lucky or happiness for the few," Barack Obama said. "We the people still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves but to all posterity."
After a bitterly partisan election and lame-duck session, Barack Obama is using his speech to call for a divided nation to come together to right the nation's course.
"Now more than ever we should do this as one nation," Obama says, adding that Americans are made for this moment and can succeed "so long as we seize it together."
It's a signal that he heard the message of the center of the American electorate, which voted for no change in power in November and told its lawmakers to work together to start fixing what ails the nation.
—Liz Sidoti — Twitter http://twitter.com/lsidoti
"History tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they've never been self-executing." — Barack Obama, after quoting the "unalienable" American rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
President Barack Obama is starting his second inaugural address with a lot of quotations from — and invocations of — the nation's founding documents. It's an interesting approach, one keyed to a dominant question in the national conversation these days: Where is this republic headed, and is it the right direction? Obama is starting by re-invoking the foundational principles of the republic — and asking people to hear him.

The nation's No. 2 was sworn in a second time, for a second term.
Like President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden took his oath of office during a private ceremony on Sunday. This one was for the masses.
Biden, a former Delaware senator, has attended a bunch of inaugural festivities.
The next one he attends may be his own if he decides to run for president in 2016 — and wins. He's certainly keeping the door open to a future presidential run.
Barack Hussein Obama has just been sworn in before the nation for his second term as president.
Joe Biden has been sworn in before the nation and the inauguration crowds, a day after he did it officially in a private ceremony.
"There is no mob, no coup, no insurrection. This is a moment when millions stop and watch."— Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., co-chair of the inaugural committee.
AP National Political Editor Liz Sidoti's pre-speech take on the inaugural:
President Barack Obama will be in his element when he steps to the podium to deliver his second inaugural address. He plans to lay out a broad vision for the country's future. These speeches are traditionally heavier on prose than on policy, and devoid of many details. And Obama is expected to keep with that formula, focusing on America's founding values and their importance to the country of today.
Don't expect a partisan pitch. But make no mistake: this speech — like so many others before it — will be political, to a certain degree.
The president will be speaking to an America whose citizens are divided, and who fear their nation is in a perpetual — if not irreversible — state of decline. He will be speaking at a time of political paralysis, deep polarization and a resounding lack of faith in the institution of government. And he will be speaking at the start of a period in which he hopes to tackle a slew of thorny issues — taxes, guns, immigration and other issues — even as Republicans control the House.
So, expect Obama to do what he's been known for since he burst onto the national stage — pepper his remarks with strong notes of resolve and the notion of a can-do America.
With the country's grim backdrop and knowing what we know about Obama, it's hard to see how the president doesn't take advantage of the platform he has to issue an urgent call to action for Americans and their political leaders to come together to try to break Washington's gridlock and solve the country's big looming problems.

Some thoughts from Sally Buzbee, Washington bureau chief for The Associated Press:
There's something so inherently American about seeing sedate, totally non-glamorous political figures like former President Jimmy Carter and Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer — both dressed formally (in a dark coat in one case and a dark robe in the other) — next to the flash and glamour of American celebrities like Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z.
Beyonce, of course, was dressed more sedately than she normally is — for reasons of weather if nothing else — but that mane of big, gold hair gave her away. The singer superstar can't help but ooze glamour even on a cold day in the nation's capital.
The mix of people on the podium during an inaugural is always a celebration of America's diversity. In this case: from the staid, wonky and serious to the flamboyant and celebrated.
— Sally Buzbee
"Blessings upon all who contribute to the essence of the American spirit, the American Dream." — Myrlie Evers, activist and widow of slain civil rights activist Medgar Evers.
"In 2013, far too many doubt the future of this great nation." — Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., starting off the inaugural program.
President Barack Obama is on the podium, greeting supporters and colleagues, and ready to be inaugurated for his second term — or, at least, "inaugurated," since the official ceremony was conducted Sunday indoors. Today's ceremony is the public version.
So, just how many people are on the National Mall for President Barack Obama's second inaugural ceremony?
A lot — but probably not the roughly 1.8 million who jammed it four years ago.
In hours before Obama's public swearing-in, the crowd extends from the Capitol and beyond the Washington Monument to around the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
But, though the crowd has grown thicker this morning — especially beyond the ticketed section — it doesn't seem as packed as in 2008.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee has announced that the non-ticketed public viewing areas on the National Mall east of 7th Street are full and now closed.

"I hope the people in the Capitol can work together so we can get some things accomplished." — Lolita Allen, 50, from Detroit, who said she and some friends made a last-minute decision on Friday to drive to Washington for the inauguration.
— Sam Hananel — Twitter http://twitter.com/SHananelAP
"It's really important for her to understand that her potential is endless. You have so much to live and look forward to, for yourself personally, for our country — just to see that there's more than the here and now." — Kenya Strong, a 37-year-old financial analyst, on her daughter's attendance at the 2013 inauguration.

Meredith Whitney says among the financial stocks, Bank of America is the one to own after the stress test results last week.
Shares of Bank of America (BAC) were essentially unchanged Monday, at $12.65, but popped after hours by 9 cents, or 0.72%, following Whitney's comments. Shares of Citigroup (C) fell 2%, while shares of JPMorgan (JPM) fell 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 0.43% on Monday, while financials fell 0.83%.
On CNBC, Whitney said,
"Bank of America was already one of the most undervalued names going into the stress tests. What's amazing about this is very rarely do these banks have value and momentum, and this has both of those. The stress test was a huge catalyst for this name. It has been this huge stealth deliverer. They announced cost-cutting measures in 2010. No bank has taken the kind of [cost cutting] measures it has taken. And it takes two years to implement those. It can easily go to $15. And over the next two years, into the $20s. It's all cost-cutting, it's all operating leverage. I don' t have a lot of growth expectations for the big banks in general."
On JPMorgan: "Not a stock I"m recommending. They've come a long way, not as much cost cutting to do. Just because they're in a lot better shape than other banks, not as much upside from my point of view." When asked about recent JPMorgan hearings, Whitney said that "reminded me of Goldman Sachs (GS) when they got into trouble. And it will probably take them [JPM] a long time to get out of it, like it took Goldman."
Financials were a mixed bag on Monday, with some banks trading lower on news that Cyprus plans to impose a tax on bank deposits. KBW recommends a defensive position, with credit card issuers among its favored names, as we noted in a post on financials earlier today.
Whitney in December issued positive calls on Bank of America, Citi and Discover Financial Services (DFS) – a Reuters story here.
Read colleagues Michael Aneiro's post from last year on Whitney and municipal bonds here and Sam Mamudi on Whitney's BAC advice: might have been nice a bit earlier.


text: I honestly don't know which one I am going to vote for. Romney can't seem to figure out what he is supposed to be saying and who he's supposed to be saying it to. He seems to be spinning in circles in confusion. Obama sounds like a preacher, preaching hell fire and brimstone. Both parties are using scare tactics. If Romney would tell us what his "plan" is, it would help a lot. We are pretty sure what the current administration's plan is. Romney needs to tell us specifically what he intends to do, not "elect me then I will tell you what my plan is" Until he gets specific, he doesn't get my vote, because I feel that it will be the same old song and dance we have been getting over and over again. I see Paul Ryan, and he just comes across to me as phony. The smile that he puts on when he is on TV with Romney, is just fake looking to me. So that is strike 2 for Romney/Ryan. I guess I am still undecided which one I will vote for. Might not vote for either one, and if that is wasting my vote, so be it. If you folks haven't figured it out by now, I like to get people bristled up a bit. I mean no harm, I just think we all need to lighten up. As an old commercial once said,"Have a Coke and a smile."

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the reply Sean. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I was in a rush trying to get my tackle sorted out before I went away and was too busy trying out new knots.
I understood what you said, and tried it on holiday.
Nothing broke, even with the backing knot being pulled around the coral heads, so I must have done something right .
The line coatings on these new lines must be far far tougher than I ever thought they could be!!!
I can try and get you a pick tonight but in the meantime...the intent is to achieve two loops in the backing. This will help prevent a girth hitch from forming around your fly line and cutting through it. To achieve this result tie a bimini in the end of the backing creating as large a loop as you can. I create one that is about 3' long by putting the far end of the loop under my foot and passing the line around my knee and up to my hands. After the bimini is completed simply fold the loop created back over itself and tie a double surgeons knot as close to the bimini as possible. This should give you two loops about a foot to a foot and half in length that can easily pass over the reel for changing lines. Hopefully this clears it up but I will see if I can get some clear pictures tonight.
Biminis and surgeons
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the saltwater flyfishing game, and am off to mexico in a couple of days for my first ever bonefishing trip.
I'm trying to attach Gelspun backing to my flyline and have read on the forum that the standard way is loop to loop with a bimini with a double surgeons loop in the GSP.
Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question but what is this supposed to look like? I can tie a bimini reasonably well, but where is the double surgeons loop supposed to go when I've tied the bimini?
Or am I missing the point? Is the objective to double up the line with the bimini and then double up again with the surgeon's knot? Or double up the line with a wouble surgeon's knot then tie a bimini in the doubled line?
Any help gratefully received.
(Especially if someone has a pic of the finished article so I know what I'm aiming for )
thanks, Nick

On Saturday, June 29th, KCPT will participate in Maker Faire: Kansas City at Union Square. The KCPT broadcast trailer will be on display, and from 10am to 3pm, your PBS station will host a live stream of interviews with Kansas City Makers and National speakers, including 2013 TED Fellow and co-founder of OpenROV, David Lang. David will discuss his role as contributing editor of MAKE: Magazine and his upcoming book, "Zero to Maker."
Maker Faire: Kansas City celebrates things people create themselves — from new technology and electronic gizmos to urban farming and "slow-made" foods to homemade clothes, quilts, and sculptures. This family-friendly event demonstrates what and how people are inventing, making, and creating. It brings together Makers, Crafters, Inventors, Hackers, Scientists, and Artists for a faire full of fun and inspiration. Come see what others are making and be inspired to tap into your own creativity!
Instagram Photos from #makerfaireKC
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect, and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA, and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual show with more than 800 makers and 110,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in three years to 500+ makers and 55,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), and Tokyo are the home of "featured" Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Kansas City.

Early middle school is a great time for children to start their mathematical circle education. This time is a period of curiosity and openness to learning. The thinking habits and study skills acquired by children at this age stay with them for a lifetime. Mathematical circles, with their question-driven approach and emphasis on creative problem-solving, have been rapidly gaining popularity in the United States. The circles expose children to the type of mathematics that stimulates development of logical thinking, creativity, analytical abilities and mathematical reasoning. These skills, while scarcely touched upon at school, are in high demand in the modern world.
This book contains everything that is needed to run a successful mathematical circle for a full year. The materials, distributed among 29 weekly lessons, include detailed lectures and discussions, sets of problems with solutions, and contests and games. In addition, the book shares some of the know-how of running a mathematical circle. The curriculum, which is based on the rich and long-standing Russian math circle tradition, has been modified and adapted for teaching in the United States. For the past decade, the author has been actively involved in teaching a number of mathematical circles in the Seattle area. This book is based on her experience and on the compilation of materials from these circles.
The material is intended for students in grades 5 to 7. It can be used by teachers and parents with various levels of expertise who are interested in teaching mathematics with the emphasis on critical thinking. Also, this book will be of interest to mathematically motivated children.
In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI).
Teachers, parents, research mathematicians, undergraduate and graduate students interested in teaching extracurricular math to school children.

check your pm
Looking to see if anyone has hunted the Tex Creek elk hunt in SE Idaho and can provide any pointers.
I've been in the area a few times during the summer, just don't know where to begin to find a spot to hunt. The WMA seems to be snow dependant for migrating herds. We received a fair amount of snow recently and thought it might be enough for the elk to move into the area. Are there any places to try and find the places they move into first?

I have had 2 dogs from DH and will continue to buy from them. My friends have started buying from them as well. They produce solid dogs that are very athletic and easy to train. A few things that are worth mentioning. Dh dogs are smaller than most. Females are 40-50lbs and males are 50-60lbs. I like this size but some don't. The dogs are extremely driven and can be trained by any method and will be successful in most games. Milner of course recommends positive training but they, of course, respond to any method.
As far as positive training, I went down that road and attended his seminar and went to a few tower shoots there. I talk to the trainers there pretty frequently. Learning this method has made me 5 times the trainer I was. HOWEVER, I went back to the collar. Having exact timed correction at a distance was too much for me to ignore. I recommend learning from Milner as he is a wealth of imformation. Just bc you learn his techniques and theories doesnt mean you cant use others. Part of the problem ios that Milner does not have a true program to follow. He teaches a set of techniques to use and his seminar is full of theory. For someone trying to train a gun dog it is simply not enough information in my opinion. If he would produce a program like the Wildrose Way but instead use his positive techniques then I think more people would be successful. But it is hard to train a gun dog by simply learning theory and a few drills. Having said that, I did find most of his techniques to be extremely quick and efficient. His whistle stop, delivery to hand, long unseen cripple are all very efficient and easy.
If you have specific questions about sires I can probably give you some insight into them. I have seen pups from them and even handled a few of the sires. I can also ask the trainer about specific litters.
I should also add that Milner has been very good to me. He will answer ant if my questions by email or his preferred method on his forum. His solutions are usually spot on. He understands k9 behavior and bang read dogs better than most. So i find him extremely helpful and will continue to support him.

I have a pup from Duckhill and I think he does breed good dogs. My little girl is 42 lbs at 19 months and is a little ball of fire. I think we should be running Master level HT by the end of next summer. She has been very easy and fun to train although she is very sensitive and needs to be handled with kid gloves. With that being said, she does respond well to low amounts of pressure and has thrived in the Hillmann/Lardy programs.
I got into the Hllmann and Lardy after I tried to do Milner's positive training. Like Bob, I found it just wasn't enough. The theory is great and his stuff also helped me become a much better trainer but IMO there's just not enough structure there. Just like most things, Milner's training method has some diamonds and chunks of coal. If you're interested in positive training I would check him out and I would also check out Lorie Jolly of Rosehill Retrievers. I don't know a ton about Lorie but I am definitely going to look into her seminars and book. She uses what she calls motivational methods (not all positive). She has a couple of MHs and has trained a couple of FC/AFCs in the past (I assume with more commonly used methods). http://www.rosehillretrievers.com/book.html
Also of interest for motivational training would be Michael Ellis (protection dogs). Great for theory http://michaelellisschool.com/lecture.htm
I train on property belonging to a guy who recently purchased 2 DH dogs. Both females, small but well built, both run very hard and have all the natural talent they need for the makings of excellent gun dogs and certainly hunt test dogs.
As for pedigrees, the issue of titles arises after you import particular British lines and continue those lines here in the states. These guys, myself included, rarely have interests in American trials or tests, and are just watching the pedigrees closely based on the dogs' they are breeding performance and the puppies performances. Even still, I understand that this isn't as close to a "guaranteed good dog" as getting an FC MH GRCH etc for the same $.
-Barton Ramsey
I think Golden Retrievers are a better bet.
I must buy one or two of those!!Even still, I understand that this isn't as close to a "guaranteed good dog" as getting an FC MH GRCH etc for the same $.
Personally I think too much can be read into pedigrees; outside of the health status, all they indicate is the possible ability level of which the dog might be capable. What you wind up with after training and a bit of field experience will be the decider and is in my experience most definitely not guaranteed. I've seen dogs with pretty ordinary pedigrees (and no pedigree at all) do outstanding work, and so called top class dogs fall at the first hurdle, in one case literally so.
I think the 80:20 rule applies with dogs, both in breeding and training.

Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
Too many puppies are being bred for salability instead of usability. The phenomenon of the 'popular sire' being used to sell pups skews our bloodlines too far in one direction.
With availability of so many health tests today, there are so many sires being under utilized, and far too many sires being overused.

Traveling to see the Zags in Salt Lake City?
SPOKANE, Wash. - Students at Gonzaga were ecstatic over the Zags number one seed. They say going to school at GU and in Spokane at a time like this, is something they'll never forget.
They could never have imagined how this year would go, but their confidence is growing.
The Zags, and their fans, will have to travel over 700 miles to get to Salt Lake City.Traveling to see the Zags in Salt Lake City?
Fans are fired up and ready to hit the road! If you do, be prepared to shell out a little green to get to the game.
If you plan to fly, Southwest is the cheapest option. At last check, the lowest priced option was a $542 round-trip ticket.
If flying is out of your budget, then plan a road trip but expect about a 10 and a half hour drive.
Triple A estimates gas will cost anywhere from $200-$300 round-trip, depending on your car. If you split that with a few friends, you could end up paying about $50 each.
There's lots of hotels in downtown Salt Lake right by the Energy Solutions Arena. To find a good deal, you can "Name Your Own Price" on Priceline or try Hotwire.
If you want to be adventurous and save some dough, try couchsurfing.org!
Stubhub still has tickets available. They start at $60.
"It would be really cool to say we were able to watch Gonzaga while they were number one in the tournament," GU student Andrew Zenner said.
Students like Zenner might have to miss a few classes in order to go to the tournament, but many say making life-long March Madness memories would be worth it!

What if you spent 2 more hours doing your homework this week than you spent last week? If the number of hours that you spent last week is represented by , and you spent between 6 and 9 hours this week, how many hours did you spend doing your homework last week? In this Concept, you'll learn how to solve inequalities such as the one representing this scenario and how to graph the solution. You'll also learn how to use a graphing calculator to find the solution.
Inequalities that relate to the same topic can be written as a compound inequality. A compound inequality involves the connecting words "and" and "or."
The word and in mathematics means the intersection between the sets.
"What the sets have in common."
The word or in mathematics means the union of the sets.
"Combining both sets into one large set."
Inequalities Involving "And"
Consider, for example, the speed limit situation from the previous Concept. Using interval notation, the solutions to this situation can be written as [0, 65]. As an inequality, what is being said it this:
The speed must be at least 0 mph and at most 65 mph.
Using inequalities to represent "at least" and "at most," the following sentences are written:
This is an example of a compound inequality. It can be shortened by writing:
Example A
Graph the solutions to .
Solution: Color in a circle above –40 to represent "less than or equal to." Draw an uncolored circle above 60. The variable is placed between these two values, so the solutions occur between these two numbers.
Inequalities Involving "Or"
A restaurant offers discounts to children 3 years or younger or to adults over 65. Write an inequality for the possible ages eligible to receive the discount.
Begin by writing an inequality to represent each piece. "3 years or younger" means you must be born but must not have celebrated your fourth birthday.
"Adults over 65" implies .
The word or between the phrases allows you to graph all the possibilities on one number line.
Solving "And" Compound Inequalities
When we solve compound inequalities, we separate the inequalities and solve each of them separately. Then, we combine the solutions at the end.
Example B
Solve for and graph your solution: .
To solve , begin by separating the inequalities.
The answers are and and can be written as . You graph the solutions that satisfy both inequalities.
Solving "Or" Compound Inequalities
To solve an "or" compound inequality, separate the individual inequalities. Solve each separately. Then combine the solutions to finish the problem.
Example C
Solve for and graph the solution: or .
To solve or , begin by separating the inequalities.
The answers are or .
Using a Graphing Calculator to Solve Compound Inequalities
As you have seen in previous Concepts, graphing calculators can be used to solve many complex algebraic sentences.
Example D
Solve using a graphing calculator.
This is a compound inequality: and
To enter a compound inequality:
Press the [Y=] button.
The inequality symbols are found by pressing [TEST] [2nd] [MATH]
Enter the inequality as:
To enter the [AND] symbol, press [TEST]. Choose [LOGIC] on the top row and then select option 1.
The resulting graph is as shown below.
The solutions are the values of for which .
In this case, .
Guided Practice
Graph the solution set for or .
Start by solving for for each inequality.
Sample explanations for some of the practice exercises below are available by viewing the following video. Note that there is not always a match between the number of the practice exercise in the video and the number of the practice exercise listed in the following exercise set. However, the practice exercise is the same in both. CK-12 Basic Algebra: Compound Inequalities (11:45)
- Describe the solution set to a compound inequality joined by the word "and."
- How would your answer to question #1 change if the joining word was "or."
- Write the process used to solve a compound inequality.
Write the compound inequalities represented by the following graphs.

(Cool, there have been some truly excellent posts on Advogato lately. For a while, I thought that it was heading to the dogs, but thankfully, most of the really bright people decided to stick around. Rock on.)
movement: a fair reply. I'm a big fan of Firebird, and the small-browser concept, and I think that more software should be factored the way Thunderbird and Firebird have been instead of the Emacs approach of Seamonkey. Each program is a specific task to do and does it well, and extra functionality may be snapped-on via extensions.
Has anybody suggested, say, taking the "Stuff They Left Out" Extension including the extra SSL UI, but put it in a standard extension bundled with Firebird but disabled by default? That sounds like a nice compromise.
berend: Good to see people are not shirking their duty to stand up to government for bad and unfair decisionmaking. The Communism comparison is still drawing a long bow though, I think. You simply can't compare a city council foreclosing on some little old ladies because of back-rates, and say, students being mown down by tanks and guns (as my grandmother and her family witnessed in Budapest), or forced collectivisation, mass starvation, pogroms, disappearances... sorry, you just cannot compare them. http://hipcat.hungary.org/users/hipcat/1956.htm
As an aside, I'm skeptical that user-pays is as good as people make out. There are certain things that cost money (like clean air, law and order to protect property rights etc) that are very hard to meter, but everyone needs. It costs money to protect property rights. It costs money to keep the air, water and soil clean. It costs money to keep the system fair, and prevent the strong from preying on the weak, or the multitide of the weak overwhelming the strong and taking all their stuff. Freedom costs money, and freedom has limits.
Governments exist for a reason, and they don't simply exist despite not being needed. If this were the case, Africa and South America would be richer than shit. I, for one, am not interested in living in a jungle.

Not sure about the virtual inheritance 4th case, I've never used virtual inheritance.
It is not used very often, but it solves a nasty problem of inheritance trees. See the article in Wikipedia for a description of the problem.
The standard libraries use it in several places, such as the I/O libraries.
Other than that, I have only seen it used a handful of times over decades of programming.

A dessert bar mix makes this a clever way to get to pumpkin pie!
Evaporated milk is simply fresh, homogenized milk that has had 60 percent of its water removed. Vitamin D has also been added for extra nutrition. If you ever have leftover evaporated milk, you can mix it with an equal amount of water and use it instead of regular milk in recipes.
Pumpkin pie spice is easily made at home. Just combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

RIPLEY – Jury selection is set to begin in Kosciusko today for the trial of a Pontotoc man charged in the shooting death of a Tippah County Sheriff's deputy in December 2010.
Franklin L. Fitzpatrick, 28, will stand trial on a charge of capital murder for the shooting death of DeWayne Crenshaw, 62. Crenshaw, a Tippah County deputy, was shot in the early morning of Dec. 3, 2010, after responding to a disturbance call on Tippah County Road 500.
Sheriff Karl Gaillard discussed with the Tippah County Board of Supervisors during its Friday work session some of the issues his department is facing while preparing for the trial, which is being held in Oxford with Judge Andrew Howorth presiding. Jury selection begins Monday in Kosciusko for an Attala County jury.
A number of the sheriff's department officers have been subpoenaed as witnesses, so overtime for what is expected to be a weeklong trial will blow his payroll budget. Gaillard was directed to keep careful records of hours worked by his officers in connection with the trial, and those amounts will be added to his payroll budget from county funds allocated for the trial.
In another budget-related trial matter, Gaillard said Circuit Clerk Randy Graves learned earlier this week that the county will be responsible for paying one of Fitzpatrick's attorneys. He is represented by the Office of Capital Defense and attorney Kelsey Rushing and by attorney Josh Turner of Oxford.
Tippah County officials had expected the Office of Capital Defense to pay all the charges, Gaillard said. However, that office will pay charges for what is expected to be a three-week capital murder trial in Union County, and could only pick up charges for one of the two cases, he said.
