PSU Assistant Dean, Karen Marrongelle, accepts Assistant Vice Chancellor position with Oregon University System
Contact: Di Saunders -- Office: 503-725-5714; Cell/Text Message: 971-219-6869; firstname.lastname@example.com
Portland, OR, July 6, 2011 – Sona Karentz Andrews, vice chancellor of the Oregon University System (OUS), announced today that Dr. Karen Marrongelle, currently assistant dean for research in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Portland State University, has accepted the position of assistant vice chancellor for academic standards and collaborations with the OUS. Dr. Marrongelle, who will join the OUS Chancellor's Office in August, is replacing Dr. Bob Turner, who recently retired after a successful tenure with Western Oregon University and the OUS Chancellor's Office.
Andrews said, "After conducting a national search we could not be more delighted that Dr. Marrongelle will be joining the Chancellor's Office staff. Karen's qualifications are perfect for continuing our important work with our K-12 and community college partners, advancing our diversity initiatives, and ensuring that OUS's work on learning outcomes and assessment ensure the highest quality academic programs. Her expertise and energy will be a great asset." Andrews added, "On behalf of the System, I would like to thank the Search Committee, led by assistant vice chancellor Joe Holliday, for their tireless efforts to identify high quality candidates and for the time they spent to ensure such a wonderful outcome."
In her new position as assistant vice chancellor for academic standards and collaborations in the Office of the Chancellor, Marrongelle will support the vice chancellor in the areas of PK-20 academic standards, student learning assessment, teacher education, diversity/equity efforts, and support for the academic role of OUS faculty. This will include an emphasis on national, statewide and OUS initiatives directed at monitoring and enhancing the success of students as they move into and through OUS institutions.
Prior to joining the Chancellor's Office, Dr. Marrongelle served as assistant dean for research in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at PSU beginning in 2010 where she was also an active faculty member in the Fairborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics. From 2001-2007 at PSU, Marrongelle was an assistant professor and then an associate professor in the same department. In her work at PSU, she directed the Mathematics Education Doctoral Program, was a mathematics advisor to the Graduate Teacher Education Program, designed and implemented mathematics courses for prospective and practicing teachers, conducted an active research program in undergraduate mathematics education, and led three major National Science Foundation-funded projects focused on the professional development of K-12 mathematics teachers. From 2007-2009, Marrongelle served on a rotation as a program officer at the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C., while a tenured faculty member at PSU.
Prior to her work at PSU, Marrongelle was an instructor at the University of New Hampshire in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics; and an instructor of mathematics at The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth.
Dr. Marrongelle has published numerous book chapters and journal articles, including "Enhancing meaning in mathematics: Drawing on what students know about the physical world," and "Research-based strategies for teaching: Linking student thinking with mathematical ideas." She is also a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and meetings, and has many community outreach achievements such as serving on committees of local and national professional organizations. Marrongelle has received numerous honors, grants and fellowships, including the Outstanding Researcher Award in Mathematical Sciences in 2006 from the Columbia-Willamette Chapter of Sigma Xi; and several National Science Foundation grants in the area of mathematics education.
Marrongelle received a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education from the University of New Hampshire; an M.S. in Mathematics from Lehigh University; and a B.S. in Mathematics/Philosophy from Albright College.
Oregon University System (OUS) comprises seven distinguished public universities and one branch campus, reaching more than one million people each year through on-campus classes, statewide public services and lifelong learning. The Oregon State Board of Higher Education, the statutory governing board of OUS, is composed of twelve members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Oregon State Senate.

Microsoft may be retiring Metro as a brand name, but the Metro interface will still be front and center in Windows 8—more so than you might expect. According to ZDNet, the release version of the operating system will neuter workarounds users had contrived to boot straight into the old desktop interface.
ZDNet says pre-release builds of the OS allowed users to create shortcuts to open the desktop interface. Those shortcuts could then be set to open automatically at boot time. However, the RTM build of the operating system—the one that will populate store shelves on October 26—reportedly disables that workaround.
The site also throws cold water on the possibility that a Group Policy settings might allow system admins to disable the Metro startup screen. "[Windows 8 Secrets co-author Rafael Rivera] told me he believes this also is blocked," writes ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley.
That's bad news for geeks, and it's especially bad news for business users. Microsoft's steadfast emphasis on Metro may leave businesses and corporations clutching to Windows 7 and hoping future Windows releases are a little less touch-happy. Of course, by then, Microsoft will probably offer a Metro version of its Office suite. Hmm.

HTML5 is coming, and a growing number of companies are trying to kick the Flash habit, even if on a limited basis. The latest: popular online document sharing service Scribd.
According to the startup's CTO, "We are scrapping three years of Flash development and betting the company on HTML5 because we believe HTML5 is a dramatically better reading experience than Flash."
It's a big move for the company, which hosts tens of millions of documents containing more than 100bn words in total. All of those documents are currently displayed via a Flash-based reader, but starting tomorrow, 200,000 of the most popular will be available through an HTML5 interface. Eventually all of Scribd's documents will be served up through the HTML5 interface.
One might assume that Adobe has reason to be concerned about all of the companies looking beyond Flash to HTML5. After all, Flash is a big part of the company's portfolio of web technologies.
But Adobe isn't admitting concern -- publicly at least. Instead, it's aware of the web's evolution and plans to be an integral part of the HTML5-enabled internet. At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco yesterday, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch told the audience, "We're going to try and make the best tools in the world for HTML5."
Speaking of those "who want to wall off parts of the web" and naming Apple specifically, Lynch said that "what's going on now...[is] like railroads in the 1800s. People were using different gauged rails. Your cars would literally not run on those rails. That's counter to the web."
With that in mind, Adobe appears to be focused on positioning itself as a provider of tools that make it easier for developers to build solutions that work on all of the popular internet and mobile platforms -- with a few exceptions, of course, like the iPhone.
Lynch may or may not be right about the nature of the web, but Adobe has little choice but to bet its future on extending its design and development tools to new technologies, even if it isn't the owner or creator of those technologies. That, of course, has an immediate implication: trying to find a place for Adobe's products as more and more companies get interested in HTML5. This is a good thing for the company, as Adobe's refusal to move beyond Flash would probably prove to be a costly mistake over the long haul. Obviously, it remains to be seen just how prominent a role Adobe can earn in the HTML5 universe, but by recognizing that HTML5 is going to change the game for RIAs, Adobe is choosing to try to stay relevant before the market decides for it.
This said, Adobe would probably be making a mistake if it neglects Flash too much. For all of HTML5's purported virtues and Flash's well-established disadvantages, there is still a place for Flash on the web. To be sure, there are plenty of applications which don't require Flash, and it will probably be a good thing as those applications are transitioned away.
One of the primary reasons Flash gets a bad rap is that it's often used in situations where it's not necessary, or where alternative technologies would be a better fit. But Flash is still appropriate for certain kinds of applications, and hopefully as the ratio between these and the 'bad' Flash applications becomes better aligned, it will be easier for companies and developers to move away from ideology and simply choose the right tools for the job.

I think it's R & S. They are both short printed in Finest, so that's the least best place of those four choices. Then I'd go Certified, but I think it's going to drop in price once the pricing freeze is off.
Resellers: just own up to it. I work to make money; I open cards for fun. Hypocrisy: a rampant BO trait |

Rookies & Stars or Gririron.
1) I've opened maybe 4 boxes of R&S. Best auto has probably been a Brocky O /49, but it's a solid price with decent odds. BO has it for 74ish. 2) Gridiron has 2 hot boxes per 8 box mini case, which give you nine hits. I think 3 out of 8 boxes have five hits. Might not be a popular as the others, but that's a lot of possible hits. 3) Finest is fun, but it's getting too pricey and you need to be damn lucky to hit those super SP'd Luck/Griffin autos. People have opened many cases without seeing either of the two. But hey...someone has to hit them. I opened a case and pulled a ridiculous Luck auto and two Tannehills. Odds are WAY against you, but it's a "fun" rip in bulk IMO. 4) Certified guarantees "at least one auto." Checklist is painful and you might only hit one garbage auto. At least go for a box that'll guarantee two garbage autos. My two packs were painful and I somehow smudged one of the junk pulls in 0.4 seconds. The mirrored design seems prone to that unless you're insanely delicate. |

I would look at your chances in this order going from greatest odd's to hardest. I think if your going to spend $100-$140 with tax on a box, you might as well just purchase either an RGIII or LUCK auto for that price.

Anyway OP, I would go with Certified cause its new. finest can be a $10 break.

Certified, R & S or Gridiron are all solid right now. None of the big guys are SP'd and you get a shot at Alfred Morris autos for a nice bonus, which Topps has zero of.

How to repair Outlook after a Windows 7 upgrade
Transfer data and settings after a clean install
By Lincoln Spector | PC World | Published: 16:59, 12 July 2010
Because Outlook doesn't store its data in a highly-visible location like My Documents, restoring it after an upgrade isn't an easy no-brainer. (The installation program moves all your existing files to a folder called C:\Windows.Old, so you can recover your documents with a simple drag-and-drop.) But most of it is still pretty easy.
The tricky part is moving your email account information, which Outlook stores in the Registry. In fact, if you've already updated to Windows 7 as you read this, your only real option is to recreate the account from scratch. You may have to check with your ISP or mail service for technical details like the POP and SMTP addresses. No one but you can supply the password.
If you're still running Vista or XP, you can export the information from the Registry. Click Start (Start, then Run if you're using XP), type regedit, and press ENTER. Navigate the left pane as if it's Windows Explorer to the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles. Right-click the Profiles folder in the left pane and select Export. Save the .reg file to a safe place from where you can retrieve it after the upgrade.

After you've upgraded to Windows 7 and reinstalled Office, load Outlook. Tell the Startup wizard that No, you don't want to set up email, but you want to Continue with no email support. Once Outlook is up, close it again.
Importing your email, calendar, contacts, and so on is easy: With Outlook closed, open a Windows Explorer window and select Organize, then Folder and search options. Click the View tab. Select Show hidden files and folders, then click Okay. (You can change this setting back when you're done.)
Open your C:\Users\logon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook folder (where the word logon refers to the name you use to log onto the computer). Rename the file Outlook.pst, it doesn't matter to what, this is just a safety precaution. Then open another Windows Explorer window and navigate it to C:\Windows.old\Users\logon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
Now drag and drop Outlook.pst from the C:\Windows.old... folder to the C:\Users one.
When you open Outlook, you'll find all your appointments, contacts, and past email. But you won't be able to send or receive new email because you don't have an account set up. Let's deal with that.
You're about to edit the Registry, so backing it up wouldn't hurt. Click Start, right-click Computer and select Properties. Click the System protection link, then the Create button and follow the prompts.
Now close Outlook. Once it's closed, double-click the .reg file you created in regedit before the upgrade, and confirm (twice) that you really want to do this.
To make sure this restored your account settings, launch Outlook, select Tools and then Account Settings. In all likelihood, it will be there, although you'll still have to enter the password.
If the account isn't there, click New and create it from scratch.

KTRS News
Friday, 20 September 2013 06:33 Published in National NewsThe top Senate Democrat has pronounced the bill dead and calls the House exercise a "waste of time." The White House has issued a veto threat.
Even before the House vote expected Friday, lawmakers were looking a couple of moves ahead on the congressional chessboard to a scenario in which the Democratic Senate would remove the "defund Obamacare" provision and kick the funding measure back to the House for a showdown next weekend.
The vote was something House leaders had tried to avoid because it initiates a fight that raises the possibility of a partial shutdown of the government when the fiscal year ends at midnight Sept. 30.
But an earlier plan by GOP leaders like House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, designed to send a straightforward bill to keep the government running through Dec. 15 ran into too much opposition from tea party members who demanded a showdown over the Affordable Care Act, the official name of what Republicans branded Obamacare.
Boehner has sought to reassure the public and financial markets that Republicans have no interest in either a partial government shutdown when the budget year ends or a first-ever default on a broader set of U.S. obligations when the government runs out of borrowing ability by mid- to late October.
"Let me be very clear," Boehner said. "Republicans have no interest in defaulting on our debt - none."
GOP leaders want to skirt the shutdown confrontation and seek concessions when addressing the need to raise the debt ceiling next month, but Obama says he won't be forced into making concessions as he did in the 2011 debt crisis, when he accepted $2.1 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years.
Boehner accused Obama of being ready to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Syria but not to engage with Republicans on increasing the nation's debt limit.
GOP leaders scheduled a meeting with the rank and file to discuss the debt limit measure. Aides said they plan to propose attaching provisions, including a mandate to permit construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a framework to reform the loophole-cluttered U.S. tax code, limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and higher Medicare premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Even with the grab bag of GOP chestnuts, some ardent conservatives are likely to balk at voting for any debt limit measure.
Meanwhile, a GOP family feud simmered. Many Republicans in both the House and the Senate see the "defund Obamacare" strategy as futile and faulted architects Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, for whipping up expectations among tea partyers that the fight could be effectively waged.
A key part of the law, the opening of state insurance exchanges, is set to take effect Oct. 1, so the effort to gut the health care law has added urgency among conservative activists.
When Cruz suggested in a statement that the fight could not be won in the Senate, he infuriated House Republicans.
In fact, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would appear to have the upper hand and be able to use his 54-46 majority to strip the Obamacare provision out and punt the bill back to the House. But it'll take all next week, in all likelihood, to advance the measure through the Senate.
"I just see a big box canyon sitting out there," said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., using Western imagery to suggest that the defunding crusade is a dead-end strategy or perhaps even a scenario for a slaughter.
Republicans are worried that they'll take the blame for any shutdown. The party that picks a fight generally gets the blame if an impasse results.
"I'm one who doesn't believe that a shutdown does anything except divert attention from a president and his policies, which are rightfully unpopular, to congressional incompetence," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. "We've seen what happens when Republicans are divided; we basically cede power and influence on the outcome."
Some Democrats, especially in the House, dislike the underlying stopgap spending bill because its spending rate is consistent with the $986 billion level permitted this year after the imposition of the sequester - the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts mandated by Washington's longstanding gridlock over the budget.
"Right now, the mood is not favorable to a $986 (billion) number," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
But White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that Obama would indeed accept a stopgap spending bill at the GOP-sought level, which increases the likelihood that Democrats would eventually provide votes to help pass the measure over tea party opposition. The White House had previously ducked the question, so the step was seen on Capitol Hill as a signal to Democrats.
"Look," said Rep. Rob Andrews, D-N.J., "we don't want a government shutdown and if we have to choose between trying to fix the sequester at a later time, three months, 75 days from now, or a government shutdown, we'll take the 75 days."
Republicans cautioned, however, that it is by no means assured that the House leaders like Boehner would simply surrender and schedule a vote if the Senate kicks back the bill.

Friday, 20 September 2013 06:32 Published in SportsThe man in the bull's-eye so often when he coached in Philadelphia was easy for Chiefs receiver Donnie Avery to find. At the end of Kansas City's 26-16 victory over the Eagles in Reid's homecoming Thursday night, Avery gave Reid a Gatorade shower.
Reid already looked strange decked in all red on the visitors' sideline. Now, he was drenched, too - but smiling, even joking he was doing Gatorade promotions.
"Yeah, it was different," Reid said. "I was on the opposite side of the field than I normally am at. But I can't tell you that I was caught up in that part of it."
The result was similar to what he gave Philadelphia in his 14 years in charge of the Eagles, thanks to a dynamic Chiefs defense that forced five turnovers and sacked a harried Michael Vick five times. Vick even limped off after a late fumble - he said his ankle got rolled, but he was fine - but stayed around to hug Reid following the final play.
"It was great to see the players that are here," Reid admitted. "I had a chance to talk to them after the game."
Kansas City, which has not had a giveaway in opening 3-0, has won one more game already than it did in 2012 - after which it hired Reid days after he was fired on the heels of Philly's 4-12 finish.
"It's important," he said of the fast start, "but there's still a lot of season left. There no time to relax on what you have done."
The usually stoic Reid showed some fire to match his bright red outfit late in the first half when he thought the Chiefs got a bad spot. He came out to the hash mark to yell at the officials, then walked off at halftime still gesturing his displeasure.
That was far more emotion than he displayed when he entered the stadium with the Chiefs just before kickoff. Although the Philly fans gave him a warm ovation, some standing in tribute to the man who won 140 games and six division titles for them, Reid walked briskly along the sideline, never turning his gaze toward the stands.
But he later said he recognized the tribute.
"I appreciate the fans and the support they gave me," he said. "That was kind of them."
He certainly had to like much of what he saw on the field from his defense, particularly linebacker Justin Houston.
It was offensive master Reid's defense and special teams that set the tone and put his team ahead early, silencing the sea of green at the Linc. The Chiefs forced four first-half turnovers and Houston had three of their four sacks in the first half. He had another half-sack to start the second half, off a bad snap to Vick, and he forced Vick to fumble with 1:34 remaining. Houston has 6 1/2 sacks in three games.
"The defense, man - the DBs, the linebackers giving great coverage, the big guys in the middle pushing the pocket," he said. "When they're doing that, it's real easy for me to do my job."
Damaris Johnson's muffed punt return gave Kansas City the ball at the Eagles 8, leading to Ryan Succop's 33-yard field goal for a quick 3-0 lead. Derrick Johnson then deflected Vick's ill-advised throw into the flat and Eric Berry picked it off, going 38 yards with the first interception of the year for the Philly quarterback.
There would be more mistakes as Philadelphia (1-2) lost its eighth straight home game.
"I take full responsibility," Vick said. "I didn't get the offense going. I didn't get the tempo going. We didn't play well by any stretch. We didn't execute at all and we didn't play the way we're capable of."
But after falling behind 10-0, Vick got the Eagles' no-huddle, fast-tempo offense in gear with the longest run of his 12-year career. He burst up the middle, shook off two attempted tackles and sped 61 yards. Two plays later, it was his arm doing the damage. Under a heavy rush, he stood in and led Jason Avant perfectly in the left corner of the end zone for a 22-yard score.
That three-play, 87-yard spurt epitomized the fast-paced offense coach Chip Kelly brought from Oregon in replacing Reid. But Kelly got cute, going for a 2-point conversion on tight end Zach Ertz's run that failed.
The takeaways kept the Chiefs in front. And after Avery turned a short pass into a 51-yard gain thanks to sloppy Eagles tackling, Succop made a 31-yard field goal. He kicked a 34-yarder moments later after another turnover, Sean Smith's interception, for a 16-6 halftime edge.
Avery had a big night, finishing with seven catches for 141 yards.
Alex Henery's 29-yard field goal was the only scoring of a sloppy third quarter, and when Jamaal Charles surged around right end for a 3-yard TD early in the fourth quarter, Reid's return was a rousing success. Not even LeSean McCoy's 41-yard TD run with 11:36 remaining could spoil that.
"This was definitely bigger than coach Reid, and he would be the first to admit that," cornerback Sean Smith said. "This was about us as an organization, as a team, to go out there and be 3-0, which is big in the NFL."
NOTES: The Eagles retired Donovan McNabb's No. 5 jersey at halftime. ... The Chiefs are the fifth team to go 3-0 after losing 14 games or more the previous season. ... Kansas City came into the game tied for the league lead in sacks and now has 15. ... Chiefs LG Jeff Allen injured his groin and CB Brandon Flowers aggravated a knee injury,

DENVER (AP) -- Shortstop Pete Kozma could see the situation coming, his chance in the 15th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a hard-fought victory.
The Colorado Rockies intentionally walked Yadier Molina with one out and runners on first and third to load the bases for Kozma.
Batting against Rob Scahill, Kozma grounded into a double play. Corey Dickerson's RBI triple with one out in the bottom of the inning gave the Rockies a 7-6 victory in a marathon that lasted 5 hours, 9 minutes.
"He's a good sinkerball pitcher," Kozma said of Scahill. "Faced him a couple times in the minors. I was just looking for something to get up and drive. I had something to hit and didn't do anything with it."
What Kozma did was fire his helmet to the ground in disgust. He entered the game hitting just .218 but with a .324 average with runners in scoring position. It is rare for Kozma to show emotion, but this was not just any clutch situation.
"Game on the line," Kozma said. "The game lasts six hours or however long it lasted. Everybody was feeling something, especially at that point."
Charlie Blackmon finished with four hits and Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton homered for the Rockies in tying the second-longest game in Coors Field history.
Matt Holliday had three hits for the Cardinals, who had their NL Central Division lead over Pittsburgh trimmed to one game. The Pirates beat San Diego 10-1 on Thursday.
DJ LeMahieu started the winning rally with a one-out single to right. Dickerson then drilled a line drive into the right-field corner as LeMahieu rounded the bases. The relay from second baseman Matt Carpenter beat LeMahieu but catcher Molina couldn't control the ball as LeMahieu crawled to touch home.
It was Dickerson's second triple of the game and sixth of the season.
In the first inning, Helton tagged out Carpenter at first with the hidden-ball trick. After Roy Oswalt threw to first, Helton feigned a throw back to the mound and tagged Carpenter when he stepped off the bag to end the inning.
The teams traded late-game rallies.
Helton, who struck out with the bases loaded to end Wednesday's game, turned on Edward Mujica's fastball Thursday, drove an 0-1 offering into the Rockies bullpen to lead off the ninth and tie it at 6-all.
It was Mujica's fourth blown save in 41 chances.
Holliday hit his former team hard, going 8 for 21 with a home run, four walks and four RBIs in the series. He reached base in six straight at-bats Thursday and was poised to be the hero with his RBI single in the ninth before Helton tied it with his 14th home run of the season.
It was part of a back-and-forth that saw the Cardinals rally from four runs down but blow two late leads.
Trailing 4-0, the Cardinals got within a run in the fourth. Oswalt walked the first two batters, Carlos Beltran singled to score Jon Jay and Holliday came home on a sacrifice fly.
Tony Cruz doubled off the wall in left to make it 4-3.
Holliday tied it at 4-all with an RBI single in the fifth.
David Freese gave the Cardinals a 5-4 lead in the eighth with an RBI double to center, but Colorado tied it in the bottom of the inning on Dickerson's two-out triple.
Helton helped the Rockies take an early lead with a leadoff double in the second, his 588th career two-bagger. He moved to third on Charlie Culberson's infield single and scored on Yorvit Torrealba's blooper to right.
Culberson scored on a double play to make it 2-0.
Tulowitzki's two-run homer in the third made it 4-0. It was his 23rd of the season.
Cardinals starter Michael Wacha had a curious Coors Field debut. He allowed four runs and 12 hits but no walks with seven strikeouts in 4 2-3 innings.
"Plain and simple, I gave up too many hits," Wacha said. "And I didn't put our team in a good position to win a game. I feel it all starts with the starting pitcher, and I just wasn't able to get guys out there for a while and gave up entirely way too many hits."
NOTES: Cardinals 1B Matt Adams (right elbow soreness) did not start but came into the game as a defensive replacement in the eighth. He singled in the ninth and was replaced by a pinch-runner. ... Rockies OF Michael Cuddyer (left wrist, forearm) was out of the lineup but hopes to play Friday. ... RHP Shelby Miller (14-9) will open the Cardinals' weekend series in Milwaukee on Friday. ... RHP Jhoulys Chacin (13-9) will start the first game of Colorado's series against Arizona on Friday.

The fact that OUR conference has been shredded is not propaganda. Why hasn't ANY other conference experienced defections like ours? What is the common denominator? It's funny when Aggies say the LHN was the last straw, the LHN defenders say no, that's just propaganda. What? Is an Aggie not entitled to know why they left? Only a Longhorn knows what Aggie was thinking? That sounds like an attempt at propaganda to me.
Schedule quality - did any of you actually attend that snoozer on Thanksgiving day last year? What was THAT? A hollow and failed replacement for an A&M game. What a joke. The place was quiet and half empty, or so it felt.
The LHN was peddled heavily to recruits last year, but not this time around. That's because it is a running source of mockery now, and even recruits have caught on. I know a young man that visited 4 schools, including Texas. The only school that did not mention LHN was Texas! The others mentioned it as a mockery, and a way to minimize his exposure. LHN has done a 360 in one year's time as a selling point. UT plays it down. Rivals play it up.
Oklahoma and A&M (to name two) have increased exposure by signing some tier-3 content over to Fox, so now their little programs are on all the time.
Basketball is catching it worse than football. EVERY basketball game was on the tube until last year. Everybody at work would ask me WTH happened to UT hoops? Complete MIA!!
LHN is a source of mockery and jest in just about all quarters these days. It's a joke. Except Longhorns aren't laughing. They are either crying or defending it. And Joe Q. college football fan is decking out in maroon.

Sock Math! Converting Shoe Sizes
We regularly get questions about converting sock sizes into shoe sizes and vice versa. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to that question.
Our Dreamer in charge of Dream Stockings explained sock and shoe sizing to me, and holy cow is it complicated! Sock sizing itself is pretty straightforward, at least in the US. Your sock size is how long your foot is in inches. To be accurate, imagine your foot contained by an invisible box from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe.
And that's why a sock like the Loving Horses Crew, which is sock size 9-11, fits US women's shoe sizes 6 – 10 the best. Though there's no way a shoe size 10 could fit in a size 6, they both fall within the stretchy range of that most common sock size, 9-11. And because feet differ so much, we test fit and let you know what real-life testing says the sock size is.
You may already be familiar with how different countries have different sizing systems for shoes. Our European brands, like Cronert and MP, use the European shoe sizing system, which we then get to translate to US shoe sizes.
Most military services and Asian countries use a very straightforward system that sizes shoes based on length and width measurements of the feet that are going to fit in the shoes, down to 5 millimeters! The US, Canada and most European countries, on the other hand (or foot), base their measurements off the length of the "last", the foot-shaped mold used to make shoes.
Of course, a last isn't a foot, they're most often approximately ½ to 2/3 an inch larger than the foot they're making a shoe for—so a size 8.5 in US women's shoe may be 9.5 inches long, but the last will be anywhere from 10 to almost 11 inches long! It makes the already complicated process of shoe sizing even more tricky. And when you throw in how there are totally different lasts for all the different kinds of shoes, it is brain-whirling.
There's a very informative article on Wikipedia about all the different shoe sizing systems, but if you join us after the jump we'll break down some of the most common shoe sizing systems for you.
Though the UK uses the same shoe sizing math as the US and Canada, they start counting their sizes at 0 instead of 1 and they don't have a separate measuring system for "women's shoes." UK sizes will be about one to one-half smaller than US sizes. That makes it easy enough to convert sizes, though it means a nasty surprise if you don't remember to convert them!
So, if you're a men's US size 7 like me, then you'll be a 6-6.5 in UK sizes. And to get your men's US shoe size from women's US shoe size, just subtract 2 (so I'm a size 9 in women's US shoe sizes).
Now, Australia uses similar shoe size math too, but they also have a different starting point and slightly different math. I tried figuring out if there was a simple math conversion, but for some reason converting to and from Australian shoe sizes totally confounds me. I ended up looking at several different shoe size conversion tables online (there are so many!). On average, the Australian men's shoe size is a half size smaller than same the US size in men's and the Australian women's shoe size is 1 and a half sizes smaller than the same size in US women's. So! My size 9 in US women's is a size 7.5 in Australian women's shoe sizes. And if I use the US men's sizing of 7, then it's 6.5 in Australian men's shoe sizes.
Whew! I don't know why something as fun as shoes needs to be so complicated. At least European sizing is super straight forward (and doesn't have different numbers for "men's" and "women's"). There's even a very simple way to find your Euro shoe size based off your foot length! No lasts!
To find your European shoe size, first add 1.5 to your foot length (in centimeters!), then multiply that number by 1.5. We'll use my measurement of 25 centimeters in this example:
And that number (in my case, 39) is your European shoe size! And once you have your European shoe size you can very easily convert it to US shoe sizes, or whatever you need.
Dang, all we wanted to do was give you a basic idea of how shoe sizes work, so when you're reading the Sizing Tips on a product page you can have a better idea of how they'll fit, if you're not used to using US shoe sizes. I didn't expect this to be so complicated! It's summer, not time for school! (although the School Days Crews are cute . . .)
Well, thank goodness there are sock sizes. All you have to know for those is how long your foot is in inches.
Of course, if you ever have any questions about sizing (and not just feet, but inseams and circumference and all those wonderful variables!), just drop us a line and we'll help you figure it out. The most basic sizing info we have is also all compiled on our Measurements & Sizes page.
Have you found a great conversion chart for shoe sizes? Do you use non-US shoe sizes and how is finding sock styles that will fit work for you?

St.Eustatius |
St.Eustatius is one of the five Dutch islands of the Netherlands Antilles. Statia, as it is affectionately called, is 11.8 square miles or 31 square kilometers. St.Eustatius is five miles long and two and a half miles wide with a population of 3400 inhabitants.
The expedition from Zeeland found the island uninhabited. In 1636 the new population of St.Eustatius was 40-50 people, consisted mainly of Zeelanders, Walloons and Flemings. As the plantations increased, so did the number of inhabitants. In 1665 the population was 330 whites and 840 negroes and Indians, whereas in 1689 besides Dutch there were also English, French, German and Scottish merchants. Van Corselles men who had occupied the island immediately began to develop the agriculture as well as carrying out military duties. They started tobacco plantations and the first Statian tobacco was delivered to Flushing (a Zeelandian Town) in July 1638.The new inhabitants grew tobacco for the Zeeland market, started sugar-cane and cotton plantations and provided for their own needs. Pieter van Corselles remained the leader and first commander of the colony. The West Indies Company's ships transported all products in order to control import and export. This system was not infallible since not only Statian tobacco, but also some from Virginia and the British Leeward Islands was imported in Zeeland and Rotterdam. This lucrative trade and well stocked warehouses quickly caused England, which thought herself the rightful owner of St.Eustatius. In 1663 and 1665 Statia was attacked by the English. From then on the island knew peace no longer and in 1673 the Fort, the adjacent buildings and the warehouses on the Bay were burnt down for the first time. In the eighteenth century St.Eustatius became the most important salve depot in the West Indies, taking over from Curacao. About 1724 the Company began to supply and sell slaves on Statia. We have now arrived at the eighteenth century in which St.Eustatius, despite of changes of command, plunderings and burnings, enjoyed its greatest prosperity. In this period the island was known far and wide as the"Golden Rock". It is also the period in which wars, slave-trade, smuggling and corruption were very prominent. The French ruled Statia again from 1795 to 1801, followed by the English who took over for a year in April 1801. Trade stopped again during the last occupation and St.Eustatius never recover this blow. St.Eustatius changed hands 22 times, between French, Dutch and the English. The island ceased to be the storage port for the Caribbean and this role was soon taken over by the English. From 1816 St.Eustatius became Dutch until now.

This morning, Nick was pleased to tour the Bureau of Environmental Services' (BES) Water Pollution Control Lab in North Portland and the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Water Pollution Control Lab is an important piece of Portland's pollution prevention. Staff ensure rapid response to pollution spills, investigate threats to the environment (such as preventing industrial pollution), and help manage stormwater.
The Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest in Portland. The plant, built in 1952, collects and treats sewage 24 hours a day for 600,000 customers. Dozens of pump stations and thousands of miles of sewer lines are part of a system that brings wastewater to the plant.
It may not be the most glamorous piece of the city, but our Environmental Services help make Portland's clean water and sustainable practices the envy of the nation!

A really nice, homely backpackers! Nice and close to the Amphitheatre and Golden Gate park and Vera Ann has excellent maps and directions to get to everything. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try the Ethiopian resturant but others that had raved about it so it's probably worth a try.

I need to prevent mobs from getting into my shelter, and I have an exposed lower area with a ladder leading up to the shelter proper. If a zombie or something spawns down there at night, can it reach me in my shelter?
While mobs are technically capable of climbing ladders, the pathing AI generally prevents them from doing so - instead, they will typically just spin around in circles. In general, the best way to restrict access to a shelter is to build a Door. |
As an aside - if you light an area with torches it will prevent zombies etc. spawning there. So add some torches in your lower area for a zombie free experience. It doesn't stop them wandering in from somewhere else, so you'll still need to build walls, doors etc. to prevent entry. |
I have personal confirmation that if a mob is chasing you (in my case it was a skeleton) and you go up a ladder, it will follow you up it if it can. And it's absolutely terrifying. |
Minecraft mobs are not technically smart enough to climb ladders. However, they can move forward, and moving forward is all they have to do to use ladders/vines. As was mentioned above, this means that they cannot path to you if they have to go out of their way to use a ladder. But, as was likely in John the Green's case, if you run away up a wall and then back away from the ladder, the mob will push against the wall to get you and inadvertently use the ladder. A simple sidestep would have pulled the mob off of the ladder before he reached the top. Try using a trapdoor at the top of an interior ladder. Fences and Fence gates are also great barriers at the bottom of the ladder to keep the bad guys out without obstructing your vision. |

Welcome to Graduate Medical Education at the University of Nevada School of Medicine!
Welcome to Graduate Medical Education at the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM). It is our mission to provide outstanding training for our interns, residents and fellows through supervised patient care, hands on learning, simulation and didactic education. Our programs meet and exceed the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements in each of the disciplines offered. We have programs (residency and fellowship) both in Las Vegas and in Reno. We are committed to excellence in both education and medical care.
Graduate medical education has changed dramatically over the last decade. Residents are being held accountable for demonstrating competence in the ACGME six core competencies:
Programs are in turn being held accountable for adapting their curricula to ensure that residents are competent in their field of study. Resident outcomes whether they are on board passage rates or in assessing and applying current literature to patients have become the focus of our educational development. UNSOM accesses the state-of-the-art simulation centers in Las Vegas and Reno, where documenting patient care, interpersonal and communication skills and professionalism is possible. Initiatives are being developed to use these facilities to help in competency assessment.
In order to have optimal learning it is our responsibility to ensure residents and fellows have the educational experiences developed by their program directors which are free of harassment and prejudice. We have developed a confidential, non-traceable reporting button for residents to document such incidents should a person feel intimidated, harassed or that their education has been compromised. These incidents will be investigated discretely.
In 2011, the ACGME implemented new standards on duty hours and professionalism. Key aspects of these new standards include:
Full details of the new standards may be found by clicking here.
To ensure that all standards are being upheld, there is a confidential, non-traceable button to report duty hour violations and complaints about supervision. We will not tolerate duty hour violations or any aspect of supervision deficits. Other features that may be of interest to you on the website include:
I encourage you to become familiar with the new policies and your program's requirements. Our goal is to provide the exceptional training for our residents and fellows, while providing a pleasant work environment. I look forward to meeting with everyone over the course of the upcoming months. Feel free to contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone at 702-671-6400. While my home office is located in Las Vegas NV I travel to Reno frequently. My hope is to meet with every resident annually, should you need to meet with me individually, please contact me directly.
Let's have a great year and learn a lot!! Miriam Bar-on, MD Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education Professor of Pediatrics

Are You Searching for a Reliable IT Company on Long Island Because Your Network is Running Poorly, Causing You Stress, and Costing Your Business Money?
Then it is time that you give us a call at:
(631) 648-8647
Give us a call today and discover how great
local IT services and computer support can be!
Dear Colleague,
It just amazes me how unreliable and arrogant some computer repair technicians are. When you call them for help, you end up talking to their voice mail. Then when you finally get them on the phone, they make you wait hours — even days — before they can actually come out to see you.
Enough Is Enough!
I think it's about time someone finally got it right. That's why we decided to start a "one company revolution" and commit ourselves to delivering fast, affordable computer services support from technicians that are local (Nassau technicians and Suffolk County based technicians), professional AND reliable.
Although I don't think this is an amazing concept, it still surprises me how many companies don't get it right. After all, you and I know that there are plenty of computer services consulting firms out there offering some type of network support; but an awful lot of them are new or just getting started in the business. Some will even outsource their clients' projects to part-time computer repair technicians that are between jobs or to companies overseas.
ALL of our Long Island computer repair technicians are full-time employees that hold the most up-to-date certifications and expertise in every area of networking. When you hire us for ANY project, not only can you expect it to be done right, but you can expect it to be done on time and on budget.
If you are a new customer to us, I'd like to invite you to sign up for a FREE Problem Prevention Network Assessment where one of our senior computer repair Long Island technicians will come on site and perform a 27-point performance and security assessment to pinpoint any vulnerabilities to viruses, hackers, data loss or spyware and to show you how you can get better performance, speed, reliability, and LIFE out of your existing computer network. We offer this service as a gift to all prospective customers so they can get to know us better without any cost or risk on their part.
Why Are We Giving Away Free Network Assessments?
Some people think we are crazy for giving away these network assessments (a service that some of our competitors charge up to $500 for). They say, "Aren't you afraid people will just take advantage of you?" The truth is, some people might – but we know that MOST business owners are just honest people trying to find someone they can trust to fix and maintain their computer network. I know that we are hands down the best at what we do. I also know that many business owners are so caught up in the day to day activities of running their business that they have no idea what is going on with their technology and have no strategic plan in place for their future IT needs. This is their chance to get an unbiased, independent review of their existing systems and to get a roadmap for success going forward.
I urge you to schedule yours today.
Frank Bravata
New Millennium Technology Services
P.S. I want to be very clear that there are no expectations on our part for you to do or buy anything when you take us up on our offer. As a matter of fact, I will give you my personal guarantee that you won't have to deal with a pushy, arrogant sales person because I don't appreciate heavy sales pressure any more than you do.

Welcome to Toc Toc's 2-week web event, "House Of God". "House of God" is an in-depth, online seminar, that will focus on tough questions concerning the roles of women in the church, as well as God's authority structure for the entire Body of Christ. In this first episode, we will examine two sets of scripture. One set says that women must not teach, speak, or have authority over men. The other set of scriptures show examples of God appointing women as prophetesses, teachers, ministers/pastors, and preachers, including positions in which they had authority over men. Join me as we go straight to the Bible for the Lord's command concerning this apparent "contradiction" in God's Word.

To celebrate 100 years of Flight International, we want to discover the "100 Greatest" in aviation; by determining the top twenty civil aircraft, military aircraft, engine, people & moments. Here the best civil aircraft is put forward!
American Airlines chief Cyrus Smith, in a legendary phone call, persuaded Douglas to enlarge the DC-2 so that it would accommodate sleeper berths and, despite having dozens of DC-2s in its backlog, Douglas gambled on American's conviction.
Just 32 years after bicycle mechanics were knocking together flying contraptions with sticks and string, the DC-3 was airborne and Douglas was on the verge of overturning the airline industry. The DC-3 was profitable enough as a passenger aircraft to break carriers' reliance on air-mail subsidies. It had lie-flat beds and hot catering, and its range enabled development of transcontinental routes, catalysing a fundamental and lasting change in long-distance travel as people abandoned rail to journey by air.
The Second World War showed the adaptability – and ultimately the durability – of Douglas' design, as the DC-3 was effortlessly press-ganged into army service. Alongside the 450 or so built specifically for commercial use, over 10,000 were constructed for the military, and airlines snapped up the surplus to drive the post-war resurgence of air transport. So impressive was this rugged, efficient, easy-to-maintain aircraft that even the Soviets built thousands under licence as the Lisunov Li-2.
Of course, the most extraordinary aspect of the DC-3 is that it's still in revenue service. No-one knows quite how many remain and I suspect, even in 50 years' time, there'll still be people in bars who'll tell you – no word of a lie – they've heard of a tiny airline, somewhere in the humid southern hemisphere, which is still flying a 'Dak'.
Powerful, profitable and popular (did I mention pretty?), with a war record to boot. The only worthy successor to the DC-3, goes an old saying, is another DC-3. I'm inclined to agree. Are you?
Do you agree with this choice?Why not nominate your own favourite of the following categores in our "100 Greatest" area:

Reviews for Apple 'n' Pork Burgers(5)
Sort By :
made this and my husband loved it.
These are an awesome change from your regular burger, wow! I followed the recipe pretty much, but instead of crushed pineapple in the burgers I just put slices on top of the cooked burgers. Much better, otherwise it would be too fruity! I took the others' advice and added an egg to hold it together. Also cooked them in the frying pan for 3-4 mins each side, rather than on the grill. Delicious - a taste of the tropics, during spring in Germany!
I made this for my family and they loved it! They would be great in meatball form also!
Too moist for our grill as it fell apart while cooking. Will definately make again, but maybe over the stove instead.
Really a welcome change from the old "Hamburger" we all know. But next time I will add more bread crumbs and maybe and egg or two. It has a tendency to fall apart without womething to bind it together. But it tastes sooooo good!
