" Freelancer submitted drafts prior to even winning the project which was really nice and is actually what ended up getting them the job since i could see what their work might look like beforehand. Finished product did come out quite a bit later than their 1 day estimate but with the time difference between where we are (US) and they were it was hard to get changes turned around in less than 24 hours each time (thats not anyones fault). Overall I was pleased certainly for what we paid. "

One Industries Vapor Men's Gloves $32.95
Grip and go.
Packing moto know-how, the One Industries Men's Vapor Gloves won't detract from your connection to the mountain bike. It's thin for breathability and a tactile grip, but gussets allow for unrestricted motion, and it's reinforced where it counts to ensure strength.
At the top of the hand, stretch mesh keeps your hands from getting to sweaty when you're sending, as does the perforated, yet durable Clarino palm. For added grip and control, One Industries hooks up the Vapor with silicone print on the fingers and palm.
The One Industries Vapor Gloves are available in the colors Orange or White and in the sizes Small through XX-Large.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I can't seem to ride gloves that have any sort of padding in the palm. If it wasn't for crashing without gloves on last year, I probably would still ride without gloves as much as possible. This glove is beyond comfortable, no closure, just stretchy awesomeness. Think yoga pants for your hands....not that I have worn any.......anyways. Best glove out there, summer weight for sure, but kept my digits warm in Moab last weekend in 50 degree temps as well!

I love this glove. How did they get it to fit so well without a closure? I also love no detectable seams inside the fingers which in great for 4000 foot descents.

Notes: Loretta loses arbitration case
Infielder to get $2.75 million rather than $4.9 million requested
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Mark Loretta, one of the few free agents in recent history to have his salary determined by an arbitration panel, said even though he lost his case against the Astros, he bears no ill feelings against the organization.
"I went in there thinking there's nothing they could say that was going to hurt my feelings," Loretta said. "And they didn't. They were very objective. I really think it could have gone either way."
Loretta asked for $4.9 million, while the club offered $2.75 million. He made $2.5 million after signing as a free agent in 2007, but he earned an extra $1 million in performance bonuses.
Loretta attended the hearing, which took place Monday morning in St. Petersburg. The arbitration panel issued a ruling less than 24 hours later, siding with the Astros.
"We're happy we won it," general manager Ed Wade said. "We're happy the process is over. The goal is to get negotiated settlements, but the arbitration mechanism is there for a reason. I'm happy we prevailed, but now it's time to focus on baseball."
Loretta, respected by peers and front offices for his professionalism, emphasized that he has no plans to make an issue out of his salary dispute with the team.
"I thought [the hearing] was very fair and I wasn't offended in any way," he said.
Clean slate: Toward the end of the workday on Tuesday, Lance Berkman and Jose Valverde had not formally met, but the teammates both expressed a "water under the bridge" approach to a small offseason controversy.
Berkman had mentioned to a reporter that Valverde's animated antics on the mound rubbed opposing players the wrong way. This sparked a largely media-driven firestorm that attempted to pit Berkman against the new Houston closer.
In reality, however, neither player harbors any ill will. Valverde said he did not take offense to anything Berkman said.
"He played with [Brad] Lidge for a long time," the closer said. "I think that's what happened there. Lance is a good guy. There are no problems."
Berkman said he regrets making the comments.
"I've always been a guy that, when asked a question, I'll be as honest as I can about it," he said. "That doesn't guarantee that you'll use good judgment all the time. If I had to do it all over again, I would have just kept my opinion to myself.
"I really didn't see that as a big deal. What I said certainly doesn't reflect on him as a human being. It's just the way you go about playing the game."

This is my angle on my own existence. A story of who I am at this given moment.
Emily is inspired to create images that not only speak to an aesthetic need, but also an emotive one. The images created are informed by an ambition to provide propelling, instinctive and provocative art.
Emily's intention as an artist lies in the ability to evoke the simple understanding that those things which surround us are all but tame.
Emily occasionally includes poetry to her images; a footnote to the moment captured on camera.

Okaaaay: Child Riding In Robot Slave Buggy
You ever seen a robot-child pulling a kid around in a rickshaw? Now you have. And I think I speak for all of us when I say, "I want to cut its legs off and steal those glasses".
A creepy kid's ride where they ride other (robot) kids, in the SM City Marikina mall in the Philippines. This is wrong on so many levels, we don't know where to begin.
Damnit, the Philippines. I've already got both hands full(!) keeping Japan's collective robo-boner in check and you go and pull some shit like this. Believe me, you don't want to follow in the footsteps of Japan (except for the worn-panty vending machines -- those things draw hella-tourism).
Thanks to Dj Azer, who would have tripped that kid and stole his wagon.
It's a giant baby robot. It exemplifies everything that's wrong with robotics. Namely, that they exist -- or were born, if you will (L337 baby tie-in FTW!). It shouldn't exist. If I had a time machine I'd go back in time and make sure it was never created bang dinos. Sorry... / Continue →

Does This Dock Boost Your Signal?
My old iPhone 3G dock gave me 5 bars when I usually have one at home, it meant I could receive text messages more reliably when it was docked. Does the iPhone 4 dock do the same thing?
- Asked by Harry P from Alresford
- Jun 26, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate (Does This Dock Boost Your Signal?)
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
The dock connector provides no connection to the antenna on the iPhone, so the dock itself (for the 3G or 4) shouldn't really do anything in way of improving signal. What you may have experienced was an increase in signal because the iPhone was not in your hand or on a hard surface, both of which could potentially decrease signal strength. Other than that the dock will do no good in boosting the signal.
- Answered by Evan P from Salem
- Jun 27, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 1
No, Apple docks do not increase signal quality by design, but rather by accident. There is no guarantee you will experience the same results with this dock.
The signal boost you experienced with your 3G was probably environmental, for example the fact that it was plugged in, or the antenna was not obstructed by a table or hand. If this is the case then you may see a similar boost, however Apple does not advertise or guarantee such an experience.- Answered by Nick P from Sacramento

I don't know if you'll even read this…but….i went to the movie last night..
First off can i say absolutely fabulous..for the first time EVER as a theatre geek…i prefered the movie..and was in awe of the whole thing.
I went in with your post ringing in my ears…..do i love others…yes…definately..i give of myself as much as i can ….and struggle over not emptying the house tommorrow and feeling guilt over where i live etc…not the point i'm getting to…
it was the part where val jean says he's kept everyone away, cosette wasn't his to lose…and how he made the house too quiet…
I was burned by a friendship years ago and have locked the doors and not let anyone in and close again…..if it is a blessing for ME to love others….why can i NOT BE loved in return. Why do i shelter my children from fellowship and the chance to love others they KNOW instead of the faceless many of our charities….
anyhow…lot's to think on…i adored the film…and i loved your post and how you shared….so i felt led to share as well…if i had to choose a work for 2013 would be fellowship or friendship…which ever is deeper..(english is my second language..i'll have to investigate the 2 words..)
Thanks for all you do and all you share..warts and all…you stir much in the hearts of others…thanks!!

The National Football League and the NFL Players Association jointly pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross to aid in relief and recovery efforts in the northeast to assist those impacted by Hurricane Sandy, Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith announced today.
In addition, the NFL and its network television partners will run pregame and in-game messages and mentions to promote donations during this weekend's games, beginning tonight with Thursday Night Football.
"We are pleased that NFL owners and players have joined together once again to support communities and families impacted by Hurricane Sandy," Goodell and Smith said in a joint statement. "This contribution on behalf of all 32 clubs and players throughout the league will help the American Red Cross assist people in need in the affected areas. We salute the dedication of those who have been working so hard on the rescue, relief and recovery effort."
Prior to the playing of the national anthem, clubs will recognize with a special announcement those impacted by the storm and salute first responders and others involved with the relief effort.
In addition, there will be on-air mentions and a crawl on the bottom of the screen during portions of all games on all networks pointing fans to the American Red Cross website and text-to-give line (text REDCROSS to 90999 to give a $10 donation).
The hurricane hit home for some Broncos players, including running back Lance Ball and safety Mike Adams, who both grew up and have family in the affected areas.

He has 4,227 all-purpose yards, third on the school's all-time list, and he could become the first Eagle to gain 1,000 yards by rushing, receiving, kickoff return and punt return. He needs 34 rushing yards and 153 on punt returns, so the latter will be the tough one.
As usual, Lampley's No. 1 jersey can show up anywhere in a formation, and he can get the ball in any manner. It has to make for one of the most unusual - and frightening - video montages found in a defensive coaches' room.
"Aw, sheesh!" Rippon exclaimed. "I could have sworn he snapped the ball once. He's been everywhere, and we know that. Numbers-wise, it's not showing up [but] it'll show up Saturday."
The biggest question mark, and the most overflowing fountain of youth, is at quarterback. Anthony Alford has the lowest passer rating among the three QBs auditioned, but he's the team's No. 2 rusher after gaining 71 yards and scoring twice at UCF.
That he can throw and run won't surprise those who know he is under contract - and a lucrative one at that - with the Toronto Blue Jays. He was picked in the third round of the Major League Baseball entry draft, even after he made his intentions to play football known to all. He plans to play minor-league ball next summer.
Coach Johnson hired Alford's high school coach, Steve Buckley, to coordinate the offense, so that raised Alford's comfort level. In addition to his running at UCF, Alford fired some clutch passes into tight spots.
His third-down passing caught the eye of Herd coaches - he was 6 of 9 for 65 yards on that down, converting a third-and-11 in the first overtime. Southern Miss scored a touchdown in that period, but Alford threw an interception to end the game in the second overtime.
"He'll settle down - if he stays settled down, it's just football," Lampley said. "Being a freshman, he'll make mistakes, he's not aware. That will come with experience. If he keeps playing, he'll probably be one of the better guys in the league by the time he's a senior."
Rippon said, "He made some great throws - timing routes, pinpoint throws, really good presence in the pocket, really doesn't get flustered. But you're concerned the second he pulls the ball down, and he gets outside."

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.
Your organization probably handles lots of Internet traffic every day — both to and from your clients and customers. The settings of your network servers may open your system to misuse.
Do you receive lots of junk email messages from people you don't know? It's no surprise if you do. As more people use email, marketers are increasingly using email messages to pitch their products and services. Some consumers find unsolicited commercial email - also known as "spam" - annoying and time consuming; others have lost money to bogus offers that arrived in their email in-box.

Graphic: Logan leads W.Va. in diabetes
LOGAN, W.Va. -- Once a week, Anise Nash drives to Logan County, home of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr., and at least 6,000 diabetics.
At Chapmanville's Coalfield Health Center, she meets with one diabetic after another. Grandmas, young mothers and coal miners spill out questions about foods, symptoms, medicines, and the high cost of blood-test strips.
"I have never been anywhere where I've seen people so hungry for information about diabetes or so receptive to information," Nash said. "These are very genuine people, and they just soak up any information you give them."
One in six of Logan County's 36,700 residents is a diabetic, according to the Centers for Disease Control. "And there are many more who don't know they have it," she said.
"So many people say they're afraid they'll go blind or have heart attacks or maybe go into kidney failure," she said. "I tell them they can keep it from happening or slow it down. I can't tell you the number of times people have said, 'Nobody ever told me that.'
"Almost everyone in Logan County knows of somebody who has lost a leg or gone blind," she said. "People say things like, 'My mom lost her leg to it, so I guess I will too.' That really gets to me, because type 2 is so preventable."
Despite the need, Logan County has no public classes to help people learn how they can avoid the disease or control it. "We have the highest rate of diabetes in the nation, but no diabetes education at all, as far as I know," said Patricia Mullins, staff nurse at the Logan County Health Department.
In 2010, ABC News said Logan County had the highest diabetes rate of any county in the nation. Logan County's rate is now nearly 18 percent, according to CDC, more than double the 2010 national rate of 8.3.
Yet Logan Countians must drive to another county if they want a class. "Lots can't afford the gas or don't have a car," said Dana Wright, WVU Extension agent. "They need help here, where they live."
Nash is a certified diabetes educator. She works for Marshall University, part sponsor of the Coalfield Center. "A prevention campaign could make a huge difference here," she said.
A high number of Logan County children have symptoms of future diabetes. By the latest West Virginia University screening measurements:
"I wish we had some classes around here"
Logan resident Missy Rein is one of the county's 6,000 diabetics. Her twin sister is diabetic, and so is her mother. "It's all through our family," she said. "I don't want my kids getting it."
She tries to keep her kids active, she said. "I've read that physical activity helps keep them from getting diabetes," she said.
Friday night, Rein's son Joshua played left field for the Logan County High School Wildcats baseball team. Missy and four-year-old Zachary Rein were in the stands. Zach, baseball glove in hand, pitched and caught imaginary balls the entire game. "Zach just started T-ball," his mother said. "He's crazy about baseball."
She wants to learn a lot more about ways diabetics react to different foods, how to cook healthy meals and "all the things you have questions about."
WVU Extension is going to offer a diabetic cooking class in the fall. "But there's lots of questions I have besides cooking," she said.
She has tried to learn as much as she can from the Internet and other sources, but "I wish we had some kind of diabetes classes around here people could go to," she said. "There's lots of people I know would come."
So what can Logan County do?
Two years ago, neighboring Mingo County formed a diabetes coalition of doctors, pharmacists, school people, churches, and WVU extension agents. Working together, they got a five-year grant this year for $50,000 a year through Marshall University.


text: Us Free Will Baptists walked a thin tightwire, a springing path out over the abyss. We knew how a sudden April desire to dance can topple you head over heels into the fire. We knew how warmth exuded by a youth singing at prayer meeting in a nearby seat and inhaled deeply can inebriate you to the point of renouncing the truth. We lived repent-now-before-it's-too-late. We didn't believe God forgives you, once and for all. We knew how you can just turn around and fall, of your own free will, how easy it is to doubt. But there's no Free Willers left around this place since the Phelps boy come back from Harvard talking about Grace.

A photograph of Amos Alonzo Stagg, ca. 1891, while a student at the International Young Men's Christian Association College, now known as Springfield College. Stagg graduated in 1891 and served as an assistant physical education instructor at Springfield College from 1890-1892. He started the football program at Springfield College and played in the first basketball game, being the only faculty member to score a "basket ball goal" in their 5 to 1 loss to the students. His football teams at Springfield College were known as "Stagg's Eleven" or the "Stubby Christians". During the two years he coached and played football at Springfield College, the "Stubby Christians" went 10-11-1 and played in the first indoor football game in Madison Square Garden against the Yale Consolidated team on December 12, 1890. In a career spanning more than 50 years, Stagg came to be known as the "Grand Old Man of Football". He coached football at the University of Chicago (Chicago, Il.) from 1892-1932 and at the College of the Pacific from 1933 until his retirement in 1946. Over his career he won 314 games. Amos Alonzo Stagg died in 1965 at the age of 102.

Hello I just had an accentra pellet insert installed in my home. And to say the least i'm very disapointed in its heat output. This is a 43000 btu per hour unit that is only putting out 220 degree air with all of the controls maxed out! (i can hold my hand in front of this without it burning me. this measurement was taken from where the air is first let out into the room only a 1/4 of an inch away. Harmon tech has told me this is around normal. I find this hard to believe. my home is 2100 sq feet and the stove will not heat above 62 degrees.
If anyone could let me know what they think about this please let me know. thank you
Do you know what your heatloss is on your house? How big is your furnace in BTU's? Do you have a furnace? I have a house as big as yours with cathedral ceilings and it runs full out to keep my house at 65 when it's 10 outside. You may need a little supplemental heat- I have a woodstove in the basement and electric baseboards throughout, in case I need them.
I have a harmon pellet stove about the same size as your unit. I have 2800 sq ft, and this is the only heat source I have. The first thing I would suggest is look at the quality of the pellet you are burning. Some type of pellets just will simply supply no heat source. The only type pellet that I use are Pennington solid oak hardwood pellets. also, if the air control and the heat control are not exactly adjusted correctly, you will not get heat properly. I never run my unit on high speed and is set very low on the thermostat

I was in perfect health. May 21, 1984 was my due date. I didn't make |
I was in perfect health. May 21, 1984 was my due date. I didn't make it that long - by April 5 I could no longer work. I was very ill and exhausted and I didn't know why. Two weeks before I delivered, my doctor forgot to take my blood pressure. I had some swelling around my ankles and was gaining a lot of weight. I told the nurse practitioner and she didn't do anything. My doctor told me to cut down on my eating. I was 29 years old and this was my first baby. By the following week I had severe nausea. I was so sick I thought I had the flu. My doctor prescribed suppositories to help me though this. They didn't help. One day I was so severely ill I had to ask my husband to stay home with me. I didn't know what was wrong but I knew I was very sick. I had severe abdominal pain. My doctor prescribed something for an ulcer. It did nothing to cover the pain. I drank the whole bottle. I asked my doctor if I could take Tylenol for the pain. When he said ok I started taking up to 8 in a 24-hour period to cover the pain. I had some generic Tylenol but discovered the true Tylenol took effect faster, within 16 minutes. So I would take 2 and be in severe abdominal pain for 20 minutes have 2-3 pain-free hours and then the pain would resume with a vengeance. By April 17 I was in sad shape. I had taken Tylenol for almost a week and I felt terrible. I was up to 10 Tylenol in a 24-hour period. I could not sleep because of the abdominal pain. I tried to soak in the tub to help it. It didn't work. I called my Dr. on April 18t at night and told him the abdominal pain was sharp, and he said to come in to the emergency room. By that time I had swelled up to a balloon. I was too sick to eat. I told my husband I was better off in the hospital so he could go to work. I spent a sleepless night while they pumped liquids into me. My kidneys had stopped working. I didn't know this at the time. They asked me how I felt the next morning and I said a little better. They tried to get me to eat. I could not. They were giving me shots for the pain as well as an IV. It was hell on earth. The next morning my doctor was going to test me for an ulcer, but then all at once they decided I had preeclampsia. They called my husband to come back from work at noon. They were going to induce me into labor 5 weeks early. This was April 19, 1984. Just before they hooked me up to induce me, they decided my blood was clotting in my veins. They decided a C-section was necessary. The doctors all went to lunch and then at 1:00 p.m. they started in on me. They couldn't get the IV into my arm as I was so swollen. They just kept stabbing me until they gave up and put me to sleep. My tiny baby was born the next half hour. My blood pressure went through the roof in surgery. When I woke up I felt someone had hit me over the head with a sledgehammer. My ears were ringing from the high blood pressure. I was so weak I couldn't move and could only moan. The bed sheets were covered with blood. I was hemorrhaging. They glued me up with 2 units of whole blood and 10 units of platelets to stop the bleeding. I asked the nurse if I was going to die. She didn't say anything. Then I really got scared. The platelets worked! In 4 hours I could raise myself up a little bit so they could change the bloody sheets. My skin had hemorrhaged from the high blood pressure. To this day I still have broken capillaries from the extreme blood pressure. They had to wash the blood that had seeped through off my skin. It was worse around my abdomen, breasts, and thighs. I was terrified. I spent the next 2 days in intensive care. I didn't see my baby until the 3rd day after she was born and I didn't care. She was born 4 lbs. 5 ounces and went down to 3 lbs. 14 ounces. She is 16 years old now, almost 17. She just outscored everyone in her class on her Algebra 2 semester exam. She had a 100. Perfect. She is 12th in her overall class rank. No significant damage to her. It was an ordeal that I decided never to repeat. We decided one child was enough. To this day I am amazed anyone can have 4 or 5 children. It seems incomprehensible to me. I am happy with what I have. All I can say is your doctor can really make a difference in your care. I had a bad one. But on his behalf, my symptoms were very sudden and were extremely severe. He said I was his worst case in 10 years of maternity practice. I made it and I am glad. It took me a year to feel better. I went back to work 6 weeks after delivery. No one can believe I went though such hell. No one really believes my story. Unless you have experienced preeclampsia personally, like I did, you could never know how terrible and terrifying this illness can be. |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

The Diva; Madison Square Park, New Fragrance Review
The Diva: Madison Square Park New Fragrance Review
by Diana Sorial
Bond No. 9's newest tribute is to New York's Madison Square Park. Bond didn't stop at simply paying homage to the area this time; they brought in the heavy artillery, stepped way outside the box, and hit it full throttle. Captured in a bottle that is sure to make heads turn, Bond No. 9 has created a success with Madison Square Park.
Remember those days as a kid when you would go out to play? You would take a ball, a Frisbee, a kite, or just your imagination. Your parents would sit close by and watch you as you picked blades of grass, played with ladybugs, and ate dirt. Enter Madison Square Park. With the exception of eating dirt, this fragrance embodies everything that is green, fresh, and colorful taking me back to a time where everything was a lot less tainted.
At first spray, notes of Grape Hyacinth and Huckleberry are tangled in a fury. This is a classic story of a romance between two lovers of different backgrounds. Their relationship gets a little spicy with notes of Prairie Dropseed Grass. The trio creates a scent that is lasting and unforgettable, but refined and fun. T hese notes played well with my skin chemistry and left me with a desire to go outside and explore. I also had the urge to spray some more so that I would not lose the freshness of these notes. Thankfully I waited because what came next did not disappoint.
This reminds me of a science class video where they time-lapse through a plant's life cycle. They start with a tiny green stem breaking the soil, getting taller, and then blossoming into a huge flower. That is what happens with this fragrance: it opens up and goes into full bloom. With a bold entrance, Red Leaf Rose joins the trio and brings its understated younger sister, the Red Hunter Tulip, for support. Ahh, Rose. This flower can do no wrong. Add it to a mix that is already intoxicating and it will show you its true potential. On my skin, the rose does not peek out like it is a timid contender waiting for its queue, but it walks in with its head up and says "I'm here!"
The dry down is my favorite part. This flower doesn't wither like the one in your science class video. It blooms, and it blooms, and it blooms some more, until you can't even take it any more because your head is spinning from absolute euphoria. The combination of Hoptree, Teakwood, and Vetiver Root do wonders on my skin. It's calming with a lingering note of what was once there. You never lose freshness, no matter what stage of the fragrance you are in, but it does end on a more soothing tone that will last throughout the day.
I have sprayed several more spots on my arms to keep from going into withdrawals from any particular phase this fragrance goes through. For some reason I feel as if I will never be able to find this fragrance again, so I am trying to hold it all in and hope the smell becomes permanently embedded in my skin somehow. Although this is not the typical scent I would initially be attracted to, I have realized that it adds a certain brightness and cheerfulness to my collection: a welcome change.
Go spray yourself with this new knockout from Bond No. 9 and reminisce about simpler times.
I'm going to go seek some counseling as to how I can stop falling in love with inanimate objects.

Cervical Dysplasia SurgeryTreatments for cervical dysplasia fall into two general categories: 1) destruction (ablation) of the abnormal area, and 2) removal (resection). Both types of treatment are equally effective. Generally, destruction (ablation) procedures are used for milder dysplasia and removal (resection) is recommended for more severe dysplasia or cancer. Destruction (ablation) The destruction (ablation) procedures for treatment of cervical dysplasia include carbon dioxide laser photoablation and cryocautery. These treatments use a laser or freezing methods to remove the abnormal cells. The most common complications of ablation procedures are narrowing (stenosis) of the cervical opening and bleeding. Disadvantages of this treatment include that this procedure does not allow sampling of the abnormal area and is not satisfactory for treating cervical cancer. Clear vaginal discharge and spotting of blood can occur for a few weeks after these procedures. Removal (resection) The removal (resection) procedures are loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), cold knife conization, and hysterectomy.

text: MUSKOKA – For seven years hikers have been tying their shoelaces to remember Julie Robbins. Marie-Louise Bechthold, executive director for the Meeting Place Centre for Growth and Healing, said this year marks the 10th anniversary of Robbins' death. Bechthold knew Robbins from a young age as her parents were family friends. "She was a very special young woman," said Bechthold. "When she felt well, she was just an amazing young woman." Bechthold spoke of the friendship between her daughter and Robbins. And she noted Robbins was incredibly involved in team sports at Gravenhurst High School until she graduated and was accepted to a university in southern Ontario. But Robbins had struggled with depression for years and it was while at university that Robbins took her own life. "After Thanksgiving weekend in 2002, she went back to school, called her parents and said goodbye to them," said Bechthold. Filled with alarm, Robbins' parents rushed to her. They found their daughter on life support in the hospital. "She died of an overdose because she suffered depression," said Bechthold. "And when she went into periods of depression, she felt hopeless." Robbins was 21 years old. In an effort to keep Robbins' spirit alive and help others who suffer from mental illness, Bechthold worked with the family to create a memorial fund managed by the Meeting Place Centre for Growth and Healing in Robbins' name. The result was the Julie Robbins Memorial Fund. After the fund was established, Robbins' mother organized the first annual Julie's Hike for Help held at Hardy Lake Provincial Park to raise funds for those with mental health issues within Muskoka. The hike also raises awareness of mental illness as a treatable disease. The hike is now in its seventh year and has become one of the memorial fund's most important fundraisers with an average of about 80 people participating each year. The hike has raised more than $34,800 since 2006 through donations and sponsorships from both those who participate in the hike and those who cannot hike but still want to help. Funds go toward the Huntsville-headquartered Meeting Place Centre for Growth and Healing's programs to provide financial and professional support for the healing of trauma survivors with limited financial resources across Muskoka. The charitable, non-profit organization also has satellite offices in Bracebridge and Gravenhurst. "All the monies that go into Julie's fund go directly back into service within the Muskokan community," said Bechthold. Bechthold said the family remains committed to the hike. Robbins' father, for example, makes cookies every year for participants. "He refuses to give out the recipe," said Bechthold with a laugh. "Some people just come for the cookies." Hot chocolate will also be on hand. And area artist Elke Scholz donates an interpretive painting of the lake each year. Bookmarks featuring the painting are created and distributed to participants. This year's painting is a winter scene. Community members are encouraged to attend the hike and pets are welcome. Bechthold said a number of participants often bring their canine friends. The route around Hardy Lake is about three kilometers in length, but Bechthold said participants can do as much or as little of the trail as they like. She said the event is social and fun, but always focuses on mental illness awareness and Robbins' memory. "I think we have succeeded in keeping her spirit alive," said Bechthold. The 2012 Julie's Hike for Help is set for Sunday, Nov. 11, at Hardy Lake Provincial Park off Highway 169 near Gravenhurst. There is a parking area for the hike just past Walker's Point Road. The event takes place rain or shine and starts at 2 p.m. Donations will be accepted before the start of the hike. To register a hiking group or to make a charitable donation, call Elaine Robbins at 705-687-4354.

Writing Program
Core Program
All students, including research fellows, normally must complete the core curriculum. The core program averages 13 class contact hours per week when elective courses are not in session and nine contact hours per week during elective periods. Core courses generally meet in the mornings. There are seven core courses. Three meet in the fall semester. Three meet in the spring. The final course, 6700: Field Studies, meets across both semesters.
6100 - Introduction to Strategy
This course introduces the elements of strategy, critical thinking and strategic analysis to develop and provide the foundational strategic thinking skills required for the balance of the curriculum. Using selected frameworks and examples of strategy, students begin their year-long examination of the components of national security strategy; assumptions behind strategic choices; relationships among the instruments of national power; orchestration of the instruments of power in pursuit of national security objectives; methods of evaluating the utility of different strategies; and the roles of leadership and ethics in national security strategy.
6200 - War and Statecraft
This course analyzes the distinctive and multi-faceted phenomenon of war, to include its character, conduct, nature, and scope; its military and non-military dimensions; and the ramifications of using violence to achieve political objectives. Simple dichotomies of war and peace are rejected here. Two central themes run throughout the course. First, examining the intersections between War and Statecraft, the course explores how war appears within, and also shapes, a political, economic, social and historical context. This approach offers insights into the complex, intertwined and multi-dimensional aspects of war, especially the causes of wars, their character and conduct, and their post-conflict challenges. Second, the study of history and theory affords an opportunity to examine how, like a state; war has aspects of both continuity and change over time. Beginning with the Peloponnesian War, students grapple with case studies in revolutionary war, industrial warfare, counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, and irregular warfare, up to the present day. The historical overview is interspersed with analyses of Clausewitz, Sun Zi, Mao Tse-Tung, and other classic theorists. The goal is to provide a solid theoretical foundation for developing and designing strategy, particularly understanding the military instrument of power and how it can be employed in combination with other instruments of statecraft in pursuit of political aims.
6300 - Diplomacy and Statecraft
This course analyzes the tools of statecraft available to a nation in order to achieve its national security objectives short of war. Specifically, the course analyzes the nature, purposes, capabilities and limitations of the instruments of statecraft (the military instrument is examined for purposes short of war), and investigates and critiques a variety of ways that diplomacy orchestrates these instruments. The course explores how instruments of power differ from, but is dependent upon, underlying national power, particularly in the areas of economics and information. Discussions reference peace, crisis and war to provide a comprehensive review of the instruments' role in national security strategy. The course has a particular emphasis on the economic and financial instruments, which are probably the least understood but most important national instruments of power. The course provides detailed information on the other tools available to national security strategists, the various uses of those tools; both singly and in conjunction with one another, and helps set the stage for the end-of-year applications in national security strategy course.
6400 - The Domestic Context and U.S. National Security Decision-Making
This course provides the students with an understanding of the complex reality of the domestic context in which American strategists must make decisions. It considers the domestic context from multiple perspectives. It evaluates how broad domestic political and cultural factors, as well as resource and economic constraints, affect policy formulation and execution. The course further examines the structure and process of U.S. national security decisions. Here the course considers both the historical, philosophical and constitutional foundations of inter-agency and inter-branch processes, and their subsequent evolution and current form. One element of this investigation is a study of American civil military relations. Finally, the course focuses on individual and group level decision-making, to include a discussion of individual leadership and legitimate dissent within the U.S. national security policy process.
6500 - The Global Context
The purpose of this course is to help students understand the world and emerging strategic challenges from a perspective that is not U.S.-centric. Students study selected nation-states and international regions, developing a familiarity with the role played by culture and history, as well as the key emerging trends in that region. They analyze international trends and developments, compare and contrast regional contexts and national perspectives, and recommend how best to prioritize U.S. interests within and across regions. The course also examines how non-state actors, transnational actors and global trends shape the strategic environment. Students will develop a working knowledge of the international security context that is essential for creating, analyzing and carrying out national security strategy and policy.
6600 - Applications in National Security Strategy
This capstone course integrates and synthesizes the fundamental themes from the entire curriculum. The course examines a series of strategic national security and homeland security challenges confronting the nation today. Students work in small groups to assess select transnational security issues, determine U.S. objectives, identify key assumptions, and develop a range of policy options that include evaluations of the risks and benefits of each option. Students will practice the critical thinking skills introduced in course 6100 and select the military instruments (6200) and non military instruments (6300) best suited to these security challenges. Each challenge also requires an assessment of key domestic and national decision making enablers and constraints (6400) as well as a keen appreciation for the global context (6500) in which the U.S. must develop and implement its strategy. In keeping with the goal of "putting theory into practice," students will produce a written policy options paper designed for senior decision makers and develop a briefing for "real world" senior officials.
6700 - Field Studies in National Security
The Field Studies program combines in-class study with international travel to provide students a first-hand examination of a specific country, region, or issue. Understanding the formulation and implementation of policy and strategy requires in-depth knowledge of the current and prospective foreign policy situation in nations and regions affected by U.S. policies, and even more importantly, an understanding of how such strategic judgments are formulated. The Field Studies program is designed to integrate all the themes of the core courses and meet NWC/JPME objectives by providing a "test bed" for the synthesis of the entire year's curriculum. These studies provide opportunities for NWC students and faculty to discuss policy issues with political, military, business, media, and academic leaders of other nations that affect the security of their nations and regions as well as the security of the United States. This interaction moves NWC strategic education from the theoretical world to the world of reality. There is no classroom substitute for the intensive learning that comes from face-to-face exchanges and personal experiences gained through discussions and activities associated with regional travel.

Even though the tax burden — federal, state, and local — is the highest it has been since 1776, forty of the nation's governors don't think you are paying enough. State income tax, property tax, school tax, vehicle license and registration fees — not to mention state and local sales tax — are clearly insufficient. Those tax-free Internet purchases you make are slipping through their fingers, and they aim to stop it. Say you live in Salt Lake City, and buy a book from amazon.com (first clicking through claremont.org, of course!). Amazon won't charge you sales tax, because they don't have a "nexus" — a physical presence — in Utah. But Governor Michael Leavitt wants Amazon to collect the tax anyway, and remit it to Utah.
This week, Leavitt and 39 other worthies signed a letter urging Congress to end the current moratorium on Internet taxation. First passed in 1998, the moratorium is scheduled to expire in October unless Congress acts to extend it. With the expiration of the moratorium, tax-advocates hope to advance what is called the Streamlined Sales Tax Project. This plan would simplify the myriad of America's 7,500 sales tax jurisdictions for the purpose of making it easier for businesses to collect taxes from purchasers living in another state.
One of the few governors not to sign was California's Gray Davis, who favors extending of the moratorium "at least in the short term," according to his press office. Lord knows, we have enough criticisms to make of Mr. Davis and his administration. But on this matter we congratulate his decision not to join the overwhelming number of his colleagues. To be sure, interest must be at work as much as principle; California is home to many of the nation's high-tech firms, which have a financial interest in free and unfettered online commerce.
A few other governors, most notably James Gilmore of Virginia, favor the continuation of the moratorium, as does President Bush. Perhaps they recognize that one of the marvels of the federalist system is that it encourages competitive tax and regulatory policy among the states. Because American citizens and businesses can move with relative ease from one state to another, low tax rates and lighter regulatory burdens in New Hampshire, for instance, keep a lid on Massachusetts' tax-and spend impulses.
Proponents of the streamlined tax plan recognize that any such plan must have the approval of Congress, which is given the constitutional authority to regulate inter-state commerce under the Commerce Clause. What they fail to recognize, however, is that the purpose of this clause is to promote free and open trade, as well as commercial competition among the states; i.e. to promote interstate commerce, not interstate tax collection.
Digital commerce may or may not be a great boon to the American economy. But it certainly has made the practice of collecting sales tax increasingly complicated. First, the entire global marketplace is available to any consumer with Internet access. In addition, even the definitions for taxable "products" — which are more often than not electrons transferred over modems — are becoming increasingly baroque. States have at their disposal any number of options for raising revenue, and indeed are hardly as strapped as they suggest. The still-emerging world of e-commerce should be allowed to mature unfettered. More dramatically — and to prove that the Claremont Institute is no enemy of change — we suggest it may even be time to reconsider the notion of online taxes entirely. The Constitution is fine the way it is, but our politicians ought to catch up to the 18th century, not to mention the 21st.

Pirate men seek playoff return
Published on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 by

After a five-year run atop or near the top of their division, the Pirates slipped to a sixth-place finish in the NWAACC North last season.
The term "rebuilding" around Peninsula's proud program, then, may not be the kind of cursed word it normally is in other preseason camps.
Peninsula brings back three players from last season - uber-athletic Christian Manzanza, strong post Jordan Collins and versatile Colton Worley, a Chimacum grad - plus former Sequim standout Ryan Rutherford, who played for the Pirates in a limited role back in 2005-2006.
Filling out the rest of the roster are a number of long, lean bodies from Alaska, Federal Way and five players from Utah, a number of whom have spent time away from the basketball court to fulfill church missions.
The best thing about this group, Peninsula head coach Peter Stewart says, is that they are coachable and yearn to play the right way.
"Every year in junior colleges, you get a chance to start fresh," Stewart said, watching his 11-man crew work out in a preseason practice. "We like the group of kids. They have a better attitude (than last year's team). There are a lot of roles not defined yet."
Lost from the 2008-2009 campaign to graduation is do-it-all sophomore Jesse Bean. The point guard led the Pirates in scoring (16.1), assists (3.5) and steals (1.7). P.C. also lost its top big man in Chidi Antoinne (7.5 rebounds per game, team-high 24 blocks) along with Port Angeles grad Cody Smithson (8.3 points, 4.7 rebounds) and top long-range threat Cody Killian (54 three-pointers).
But the Pirates do get back Manzanza, who was second on the team in blocks (18) and averaged a solid 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 points per game in a limited role.
Collins, a 6-foot 6-inch forward from Las Vegas, showed flashes of talent and strength and averaged two points and two rebounds in about six minutes per game. He led the Pirates in field goal percentage (48 percent).
At 6 feet and 4 inches, Worley gives the Pirates another tall, athletic body forward who can get a shot outside the key.
Rutherford, a 6-foot combo guard, averaged 2.7 points per game and was fourth on the team with 10 three-pointers for a team that went 18-10.
Stewart enters his seventh year at Peninsula as the winningest coach in Pirate men's basketball history. Under Stewart, the Pirates have amassed more than 110 wins and won 90 percent of their home games.
After a five-year strong run between 2003-2008 that saw Peninsula accumulate a 62-18 conference record, a 43-5 home mark and four top-eight finishes at the NWAACC tournament, the Pirates simply fizzled in 2008-2009.
Peninsula dropped four of its last five conference games and missed the tourney altogether, just the second time since Stewart took over the Pirates and first since his first season at Peninsula.
Stewart put the blame for the Pirates' drop fully on his own shoulders.
"Maybe complacency sets in, like we expect (success) to happen," Stewart said. "I don't blame the kids. I'm the coach. It's on me."
The Pirate lineup features 5-foot 10-inch Jordan Rawls, who helped his Decatur (Federal Way) Gators take sixth at the 2008 class 4A state tournament.
Bryce Jacobson, a 6-foot 4-inch guard/forward from Colony, Alaska, was an all-state honorable mention in 2008-2009 and was a sprinter, hurdler and high jumper in the spring track & field season at Colony High School.
A number of players have spent a couple of years away from the court. Stewart said he expects his team to be "exponentially better" in January than right now.
As for overall team strengths, Stewart likes the fact that his team is a bit more physically and mentally mature than other teams featuring fresh-out-of-high-school rosters.
"I think there's an understanding of what has to be done," he said.
