Rhoads Has Another Iowa State Team Trying to Climb MountainsBy Mike Hlas, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — Paul Rhoads came charging out of the blocks of his Iowa State football Media Day press conference Thursday as if it were Sept. 1 instead of Aug. 2.
"There's a great energy around our football program," Rhoads proclaimed in his opening remarks. "I've said that and I'll continue to say it. "Why? Because our kids play hard. They play hard and they play with a great passion for Iowa State University. "Because of the record-setting attendance of our loyal fan base, which continues to grow as witnessed by our season-ticket sales as we head toward (the season-opener against Tulsa on) September 1st. "Because of the construction of a brand-new football facility (that) fits all our needs and will open sometime this fall. "And because of our football team that comes off two bowl seasons in three years and three straight three-win Big 12 performances." That last part, going 3-5, 3-5 and 3-6 in league play, doesn't sound like something to, well, put on billboards. But Rhoads noted the Cyclones won a total of three Big 12 games over the three seasons preceding his arrival. That includes the 0-8 doughnut of 2008. I challenge you to find another team that has won games three straight seasons (at Nebraska in 2009, at Texas in 2010, vs. Oklahoma State last year) in which they were underdogs of 20 points or more. Rhoads then asked himself an obvious question before a reporter could beat him to the punch. "Now, how do we take that proverbial next step?" He proceeded to tick off generalities, like building a more-formidable defensive line, strengthening the kicking game, and "elevating the play of the entire football team." But the story is the same here as it is every Media Day. The Cyclones are swimming with sharks in the landlocked Big 12. Now more than ever. Exit Missouri and Texas A&M. Enter TCU and West Virginia in the reupholstered, built-to-last Big 12. "I'm fairly confident that TCU and West Virginia will be ahead of where Missouri and Texas A&M are in the rankings," Rhoads said. That was a much-better wager than taking Oklahoma State and laying the 27 points at Iowa State was last November. The coaches' preseason poll was released Thursday morning. Predictably, six of the league's 10 members are in the Top 25. "Six teams had 10 wins or more (last season)," Rhoads said. "Seven teams were ranked in the final Top 25." The Big 12 has teams that won titles in three different conferences last year, Oklahoma State, West Virginia (Big East) and TCU (Mountain West), It's probably safe to suggest that's never happened before in college football. So, coming off a 6-win season and the victory over Okie State that had all college football fans talking about the Cyclones deep into a November Friday night, Iowa State is the preseason pick to finish eighth in the Big 12. Except for those picking it to place ninth. From Oct. 6 to Nov. 3, the Cyclones face what would almost seem to be a mathematical impossibility. They face five straight conference foes who won 10 or more games last season. The week after that? They play at Texas. We outsiders make these projections and see those mountains in ISU's way. A Cyclone from Stone Mountain disagrees. "I think we've turned this around," junior tight end Ernst Brun Jr. of Stone Mountain, Ga., said. "This team has so much talent this year. This team has come together as one. We're brothers now. "Yeah, we play big-names and prestige schools. People forget they're human just like us." By the way, before playing nine conference games, Iowa State will have opened at home against Tulsa (8-5 last year) and gone to Iowa. Iowa State doesn't know who it's starting quarterback will be, if its offensive line can regroup after losing stalwarts Kelechi Osemele and Hayworth Hicks, or if its defense can do better than allow the 207.6 rushing yards and 30.6 points per game it surrendered in league play a year ago. The over/under on ISU wins in Las Vegas is 4.5. Finding five wins isn't easy. Of course, neither was finding six victories last August. That was then. Now, at least one online betting site pegs the Cyclones as 2-point underdogs … to Tulsa. But they've already moved a few of those mountains here under Rhoads.

In Henry's absence they are drowning too, and their strategies for staying afloat are intriguing, exasperating and heart-breaking. More

The mouse looks like a scarab...However, I like where they're going with the keyboard. I love sci-fi tech, especially sci-fi keyboards in movies. That keyboard seems right on the mark for the game, I could see the Terran Battleship having something like it. |
I think these are all ugly. The blue lights would be annoying and if you are going to get a keyboard for $119 then you might as well get one with mechanical keys that are going to last. They make backlit ones for around the same price. deck keyboards come to mind. |

Grease Discharge Permit
Prior to 1994, Miami-Dade County experienced a number of grease related overflow problems that needed to be resolved. The solution began with the creation of the grease discharge program. Since the program began, the number of grease-related problems have decreased and the number of grease interceptors in the county has increased. Preventing sewage overflows is a key necessity for the well-being, health and safety of our community, as well as for the preservation of our environment.
Any non-residential facilities that prepare or process food, discharge or have the potential to discharge oil and grease to the public sanitary sewer system, require a Grease Discharge Operating (GDO) Pemit. Typical examples of permitted facilities include restaurants, cafeterias, supermarkets, schools, banquet halls and trash pads at malls or shopping centers.
This permit is needed to monitor the discharge of fats, oils and grease into the public sanitary sewer system via an inspection program, and to minimizes the occurrence of sewage overflows caused by grease blockages in the public sanitary sewer lines, with the cooperation of the business operator and the public utilities.
A new permit is required when a new business opens or when there is a change of ownership, business name change (fictitious or corporation), an expansion or contraction of the business address, a change of the grease pretreatment device to an existing business, or a change in business location.
The annual operating permit is non-transferable and new business owners are required to secure a new permit. Copies of zoning permits (certificate of use or municipal occupational license) showing the new business name and/or new owner's name, along with the GDO application, are accepted for the application process.
GDO Operating Permits are not transferable. The new owner of the business is required to apply for a permit under their business name.
How to Apply
If the facility is located within any city or municipality, you must first apply for the Municipal Occupational License and/or a Certificate of Use (CU) from the city prior to accepting an application for a GDO Operating Permit. It is not necessary for the municipal occupational license to be finalized by the corresponding municipality when using it to apply for the GDO permit.
Note: All municipalities require an Environmental Resources Management Plan Review "stamp" prior to finalization of their occupational license.
In unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County, a valid Certificate of Use or approved CU application must be submitted. You can apply for a Certificate of Use and Occupancy with Miami-Dade County's Building Department located at 11805 SW 26 Street.
It is suggested that other Municipal, County, State and Federal Agencies be consulted to determine which additional permits, if any, must be obtained from those agencies.
Customers can apply for new permits in person at Regulatory and Economic Resources Department offices downtown, in West Dade and Hialeah. Please bring a complete and notarized GDO permit application.
Facilities within municipalities can apply at all three locations, and must bring a copy of their Municipal Occupational License or applicable local business tax receipt. If a copy of the license is not yet available, then the application used to obtain the license may be accepted.
Facilities within unincorporated Miami-Dade County can apply only at the West Dade Office, and must bring their Miami-Dade Planning and Zoning Certificate of Use (Zoning) process number.
Cash, checks, money orders and credit cards (Visa & Mastercard only) are accepted for payment of application and processing fees.
A completed application that is submitted in person is generally reviewed and an answer provided in a matter of minutes. The actual operating permit document that must be posted at the facility is usually mailed within 30 days of processing and approval of the complete application.
GDO operating permit fees cost $150, $300 or $750, depending on the size (area in square feet) of the facility, its use and the potential to generate and discharge fat, oil or grease to the Public Sanitary Sewer System.
The GDO permit is valid from January 1st through December 31st of the same year. Permit renewal forms are sent to the facility operators a minimum of 45 days prior to the expiration of the permit.

Call the environmental Permitting Section at 305-372-6600

Answering a question put by a priest from the Roman Shrine of "Divino Amore," the Pope highlighted how such places enable people to participate in an experience of prayer that has extended over generations and centuries, and he stressed the value of popular piety and Marian devotion.
Another priest asked about ecclesial movements. In his answer, the Pope referred to the need for dialogue at all levels while taking care "not to extinguish the charisms. ... If the Lord gives us new gifts, we must be grateful even if they are difficult. It is good that they arise without an initiative from the hierarchy. They result from grassroots initiatives," but such initiatives also "come from on high, in other words from the gifts of the Holy Spirit."
During the course of the meeting, Benedict XVI also recalled the spiritual nature of the Church which, he said, "is the body of Christ, and hence a spiritual body, as St. Paul says. The Church is not an international organization; she is not an executive body or an organ of power. Nor is she a social agency, though she does undertake social work, but a spiritual body."
Speaking of the need to balance the spiritual and pastoral dimensions, Benedict XVI commented that "the Gospels tell us that during the day He worked, at night He was on the mountain with His Father and He prayed. Here I must confess my own weakness because at night I cannot pray, I want to sleep ... but seriously we must nonetheless find free time for the Lord."
The Pope also mentioned sacred art, which he described as a living catechesis. The richness of religious art, he added, shows that the Church "has always been a source of inspiration."
Youth ministry and Sacred Scripture
As previously reported by CNA, a large part of Benedict XVI's reflections were dedicated to the subject of the pastoral care of the young. "Young people," he said, "must truly be a priority in our pastoral activities, because youth live in a world very distant from God. In such a cultural context, it is difficult to meet Christ and to live a Christian life of faith. The young need to be closely accompanied in order to find this path."
In answer to another question, the Holy Father emphasized the importance of reading Holy Scripture, a subject that is due to be the theme of the next Synod of Bishops in October 2008. The Bible, he said, "must be read as a whole." It represents a single path and, "in Christ we find the key to everything." Holy Scripture is a journey that leads only one way because "it leads to the Cross of Christ." For this reason, he went on, it must be read not only in its historical and Christological dimensions, but also in an ecclesial light, "because all its passages are footsteps of the people of God."

Research/Clinical Interest
Synaptic plasticity and hippocampal dependent learning
My laboratory has three major areas of investigation: First, we are investigating the mechanisms by which muscarinic and adrenergic receptors modulate synaptic function and plasticity in hippocampus and visual cortex. Specifically, we are examining the molecular mechanisms that underlie a form of long-term depression (LTD) at glutamate synapses that is induced by activation of M1 muscarinic or alpha1 adrenergic receptors and how this synaptic mechanism interacts with other well-characterized forms of long-term plasticity. In addition, we are pursuing the consequences of lesion of the cholinergic and adrenergic inputs to hippocampus and visual cortex on the ability of synapses to express plasticity. Degeneration of cholinergic and adrenergic innervation that occurs in neurodegenerative diseases and aging is known to cause cognitive deficits, thus determining how synaptic function is altered following loss of these inputs could have significant clinical benefit. These studies employ electrophysiology in brain slices and cellular techniques including immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. In a second project, we are pursuing the effects of estradiol on hippocampal synapse density and synaptic transmission and plasticity. Elevated circulating levels of estradiol enhance memory performance and alterations in hippocampal function are likely to be causally related. We are particularly interested in determining how loss of estradiol during aging impacts hippocampal function and whether hormone replacement therapy can activate estradiol-dependent mechanisms to restore normal hippocampal function and thus learning and memory. Ovariectomized female rats treated with estradiol at various intervals following ovariectomy are used as a model system. Experiments involve electrophysiological measurements of NMDA currents, synaptic transmission, and long-term plasticity in acute brain slices. Determining how estradiol and hormone replacement affects hippocampal function could lead to development of therapies to alleviate hormone-dependent memory loss in aging. In a related project, we are investigating the role of estrogen in major depressive disorder to determine if estrogen replacement can alleviate depressive symptoms in menopause. In a third project, we are investigating the role of protein O-GlcNAcylation on synaptic function and learning in rat hippocampus. Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a metabolically modulated post-translational modification whereby the monosaccharide ß-N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is attached in an o-linked fashion to serine or threonine residues of cytoplasmic or nuclear proteins. This modification is under the control of two enzymes that are highly expressed in hippocampus. O-GlcNAcylation of serine/Threonine residues is a tightly regulated process that can be thought of as analogous to phosphorylation. In Alzheimer's disease, O-GlcNAcylation is decreased, contributing to a pathological increase in phosphorylation of Tau, which may be a contributing factor to the development of neurofibrillary tangles. In diabetes, O-GlcNAcylation is pathologically increased, which could be causal to the deficits in LTP and learning in animal models of diabetes. Thus, we are testing the hypothesis that O-GlcNAcylation of nuclear and cytoplasmic synaptic proteins is a novel, powerful regulator of acquisition and consolidation of new memories dependent upon hippocampal synaptic modification. We employ electrophysiological recordings of neurons in acutely prepared brain slices combined with behavioral assays, pharmacology, biochemistry, morphology and immunohistochemistry to pursue our goals.

Sunday Gatherings Bring Bostonians Some Solace
Dan Bobkoff
Boston is slowly regaining its sense of normalcy. Even though many questions about last week's events remain unanswered, Bostonians found solace in religious and memorial services. NPR's Dan Bobkoff reports that the somber mood was the backdrop Sunday as everyone waited to see what will happen next in the case.

Choice Set Heterogeneity and the Role of Advertising: An Analysis with Micro and Macro Data
We show how to use micro-level survey data from a tracking study on brand awareness in conjunction with data on sales and advertising expenditures to improve the specification, estimation, and interpretation of aggregate discrete choice models of demand. In a departure from the commonly made full information assumption, we incorporate limited information in the form of choice sets to reflect the fact that consumers may not be aware of all available brands at purchase time. We find that both the estimated brand constants and the price coefficient are biased downward when consumer heterogeneity in choice sets is ignored. These biased estimates lead to costly mistakes in firms' price setting. In addition, the tracking data allow us to identify separately two processes by which advertising influences market shares. We find that advertising has a direct effect on brand awareness (inclusion in choice set) in addition to its effect on consumer preferences (increase in utility). This improved understanding of how advertising works enhances our ability to make policy recommendations.Download Info

It's that Time of Year to Consider the Camino and Northern Spain! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Without a doubt, our web magazine's collection of feature articles describing the art and science of walking Northern Spain's Camino de Santiago have remained our most popular destination stories over more than a decade. Some readers are keen to tackle this historic pilgrimage independently, but the vast majority appreciate some support and organization in making this transformational experience happen. That's why we are delighted to introduce readers to Spain is More, www.spainismore.com, a small-group tour planner and custom tour designer with its roots firmly planted in northern Spain. The Camino with its steady stream of pilgrims on a mission runs right past the front door of the company's offices in Leon! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
While Spain is More has an impressive knowledge of all destinations from the Basque Country near the Pyrenees Mountains through the province of Cantabria to Asturias and Galicia in the northwest, the Camino de Santiago, on foot or by bicycle, is a prime specialty of the company. It prides itself on customizing itineraries to individual clients and being on call 24 hours a day during each booked holiday. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"While less familiar to visitors than other parts of the country, Northern Spain satisfies even the most demanding and adventurous guest because the area is incredibly varied," says Spain is More co-owner, Rasmus Pedersen. "We can recommend amazing uncrowded beaches, soaring mountains, beautiful castles and deeply historic towns. We only work with high quality accommodations, restaurants and activity providers, and we expect an extraordinary level of service from our partners so that guests will experience the very best of Northern Spain." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Here's something original as a way to sample the Camino … a luxury train journey of eight days/seven nights, aboard "El Transcantabrico". This is one of the world's luxury train journeys taking the long way around between Leon and Santiago de Compostela while following a route that covers the highlights of Northern Spain. Daily excursions range from the prehistoric Altamira caves decorated with human art from 37,000 years ago to Bilbao's architecturally-quirky and very modern Gugenheim Museum. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spain is More has created many ways to experience the Spanish Camino following the traditional route or lesser-known routes … in small segments or from start to finish, some of which require no walking or cycling to get there. In addition to the train journey above, there is a well-paced self-drive option from Bilbao to Santiago de Compostela including car, hotels and an English guidebook. There is also an exciting historic parador hotel route from Leon to Santiago that allows guests to sleep with history each night. Check out our popular collection of Camino feature articles, offering many perspectives on this famous pilgrimage route. Buen Camino a todos! |
Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies … 91 years young! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For many adventure-minded travelers, riding into an unspoiled back-country wilderness on a sure-footed horse is a wish list item that brings a broad smile, but little expectation that it will ever happen. Not so fast ... maybe it can happen … how about this summer? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comfortable camping featuring teepees and cot beds, fresh-cooked meals served around a camp fire, a gazillion stars twinkling in a black velvet sky and a sound sleep in a 100% natural environment … virtually a surround-sound of silence that many of us never experience in our lifetime, never mind on a daily basis. Is this realistic for people of any age with little or no horse riding experience or for seniors who count the possibility of riding the range as long past? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"You bet!" says Stuart Watkins, President of Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, http://trailridevacations.com/, who has spent his entire life witnessing the inspiring answer to that question. "Sixty percent of riders are over age 50," he offers reassuringly, "and many participants of all ages have little or no familiarity with horses. What we do isn't about fine horsemanship … it's about trail riding at a slow and steady pace, wildlife spotting, taking in backcountry scenery around Banff National Park, and experiencing a relaxing, fun-filled camping experience." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As a volunteer-run nonprofit society, Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, brings a rich legacy of experience to organizing its annual rides … in fact, 91 years of experience. Most rides are booked out, with 60% taken up by repeat riders. Some people have done 40 rides, often bringing their children and grandchildren as the years move on. No doubt, this is a memorable option to share with family members and friends, a maximum of 27 people on each ride. "While we're not here to teach our guests to ride, the main expectation is that they will be able to control their own horse which is not a big challenge with well-trained animals that move at a walk. We do encourage complete novices to take a few horse riding lessons before joining us, just so they feel at ease, and with children, we have found it a good idea for them to have some camping experience." |
Between June and September 2014, there are ten six-day/five-night trail rides. Minimum age is eight years old; a parent or guardian must accompany anyone under 18 years. All guides, horses, western riding tack, meals and accommodations in cosy teepees and tents (with cot and mattress) are part of the fee while guests bring their own sleeping gear and personal necessities. Together with backcountry park fees, a 90-minute bus ride to the trailhead, taxes and TRCR membership, expect to pay about $2,000 in total. |
Voyages to Antiquity the World Over | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Despite its name, the MV Aegean Odyssey is a world traveler, a spacious elegant vessel which promises and delivers a stimulating educational experience wherever its guests go. Most seasons finds this 350-passenger, mid-sized ship exploring the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean and the Black Sea; however, from December through March the ship moves to Africa, India and Southeast Asia where the history, architecture and cultural heritage there offer a different perspective. The creative vision of British-based Voyages to Antiquity, www.voyagestoantiquity.com, opens doors on the ancient and modern worlds with its tantalizing cruise itineraries, many including land-tour segments as part of the trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Boutique-style cruising with Voyages to Antiquity is an extraordinary value, as fares include over $2,000 per person in out-of-pocket expenses, making the experience very inclusive. If you like to avoid crowds, wander around beautiful islands, cruise remote inlets, visit charming villages and explore ancient sites that are inaccessible to others, then Aegean Odyssey is the ideal ship. Its size also allows navigation of the great rivers of Southeast Asia with the ability to berth in the heart of Bangkok, Yangon (Rangoon) and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Voyages to Antiquity has pioneered educational cruising in the Far East. |
The lecturers and celebrated speakers who accompany each cruise are carefully selected for their knowledge of areas visited and their ability to bring the history of these remarkable civilizations and cultures to life in an enlightening and entertaining way whether ashore or aboard ship. These journeys, however, are not only about history. As well as visiting breathtaking archaeological treasures, guests may expect to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and experience the magnificent food of the Mediterranean and The Orient. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cruise prices include excursion program with sightseeing in each port of call as well as overland multi-day excursions, multiple days in some ports for private exploration, pre- and/or post-cruise four- and five-star hotel stays with most itineraries, included gratuities, free departures from some UK airports, and free or very reasonable RT flights from 60 North American gateways, depending on the sailing. Voyages to Antiquity is also an educational cruise company that is unusually kind to single guests. In 2014 the Aegean Odyssey is featuring 26 dedicated single cabins in different categories from inside to deluxe outside with balcony. Check out selected cruises with no or very low single supplement. Other savings are also in effect until March 31, 2014. |

Rahul Sood on Blackbird's long upgrade path
Rahul Sood explains why HP's Blackbird doesn't offer the latest and greatest hardware components.
In our recent review of the Dell XPS 730 H2C high-end gaming PC, we said the following to explain why we didn't include HP's competing Blackbird 002 in that review's performance charts.
"The reason is because HP hasn't moved to keep the Blackbird's specs up to date. We loved that system then, but we'd definitely think twice before purchasing one now...Until HP updates the Blackbird's configuration options, we can't take that system seriously as a high-end gaming PC."
As Rahul Sood tells it, it's not an accident that the Blackbird has not kept up with the latest performance hardware.
"We acknowledge that we haven't announced a significant component upgrade in some time, but there is a reason. We take a very rigorous--and yes, sometimes time consuming--approach to Q&A before we announce any upgrades. We feel strongly that this strategy is in the best interests of our customers."
"That said, we are very passionate about making sure the Blackbird stays on top of the gaming PC heap. We'll do it methodically, and won't be forced down the "4 GPUs in a system" path unless we see some constant stability. We have full intentions to continue pushing the technology that we feel is worthy of our systems."
Rahul, if you're unfamiliar, is one of the founders of boutique PC maker Voodoo PC, which was acquired a few years back by HP. He still runs Voodoo PC, but he has also lent his company's expertise to HP's own product development, and the Blackbird 002 is the first result of that joint effort.
We can't say we've seen major stability issues with the few quad-GPU PCs we've seen, but we do find the idea of dropping $7,000 or more on a desktop just to play Crysis maxed out very narrowly-focused. You can spend half of that to get similar top-end performance on every other PC game out there. That said, there will always be well-heeled shoppers for whom both practicality and frugality are foreign concepts, and neither HP nor Voodoo (which also has no quad-GPU option) can serve them right now.
Even if HP and Voodoo are OK losing the business of a few lottery winners, it bears looking at the hardware that the Blackbird does currently offer. Spec out a Blackbird and an identical Ephex over at Maingear and the Maingear system comes in about $500 less, and with more up-to-date 3D cards and faster CPU overclocking. Perhaps you can let that slide if you find the Blackbird's imposing chassis worth a premium. You can also look forward to whatever updates HP might have coming down the pike, too. But as Blackbird currently stands, we liked it better when its specifications and price compared more favorably with the rest of the market.
