This policy provides general guidelines for signage on the MSU campus. The purpose is to:
This policy supersedes all other sign policies; refer to the Advertising, Distribution, and Solicitation Policy for other specialized signs not covered in this policy. All signage issues not specifically addressed by this or other University policies are to be referred to the Planning, Design & Construction Office.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAAG)
Unless otherwise stated, all public signage at MSU must comply with the federal regulations of ADA.
Accessible Path of Travel
That portion of the building circulation which allows access to building areas by all persons, regardless of disability, including wheel chair users.
Building Circulation
Spaces designated for people to travel within a building; lobbies, corridors, exit doors, stairs and elevators.
Life Safety
Any device or building element specifically designed to warn or protect the occupants of a building, or to allow the occupants to safely exit the building.
Any part of the heating & cooling, plumbing and electrical systems that are part of the building.
Public Area
Any part of the building generally accessible to all occupants of the building.
A college, school or department.
ADAAG 4.30.6 states: "Where permanent identification is provided for rooms and spaces, signs shall be installed on the wall adjacent to the latch side of the door. Where there is no wall space to the latch side of the door, including at double leaf doors, signs shall be placed on the nearest adjacent wall. Mounting height shall be 60 in (1525 mm) above the finish floor to the centerline of the sign. Mounting location for such signage shall be so that a person may approach within 3 in. (76 mm) of signage without encountering protruding objects or standing within the swing of a door."
See SGN1, Figures A-M, for typical mounting locations.
Where Braille is called for, provide Type II in a single line beneath the sign text.
No signs are placed on doors except for the following conditions:
They are to be mounted outside of the designated sign area. Coordinate location with the Planning, Design & Construction Office prior to installation.
Department-specific signs will be approved by the department head prior to submission to the Planning, Design & Construction Office. All content is subject to University policy.
For any design or placement issues not specifically covered by this policy, consult with the Planning, Design & Construction Office.
All signs, with the exception of temporary ones, are to be installed and removed by the MSU Physical Plant only. To arrange for installation of signs, contact the Work Management Center (836-8400).
Temporary signs shall not be used in place of standard signage. No surface-damaging adhesives (e.g. duct tape) or surface-penetrating fasteners are to be used to display temporary displays of any kind.Upon the posting of temporary signs, ensure permanent signs and ventilation grilles are not obstructed.
No graphics or lettering are to be applied to a building surface except as part of the original or remodeled building design administered through the Planning, Design & Construction Office. To ensure proper scale, location, and general compatibility with the building décor, any interior wall graphic must be approved prior to its application on a building surface. This will be executed by using a Project Request Form (found under Planning, Design & Construction – Forms on the MSU website) via the respective department head, dean/director, and vice president.
Due to concerns regarding general building maintenance, acceptability of the artwork proposed, and the need to have some control over modifications to state property, proposed artwork must be approved in advance using a memorandum to be submitted via the respective department head, dean/director, and vice president to the Public Art Committee. The memorandum will include the location and a description of the proposed surface, the general concept of the work, the proposed schedule, a general description of how the work will be executed, how it will be maintained, how long it will remain in place, and who will be responsible for its removal.
Easels, sandwich boards, or any other free-standing signs are not to replace permanent signage. They may however be used under the following stipulations:
Hazard and warning sign locations are as prescribed by government regulations including D.O.T. and O.S.H.A. Consult with the MSU Department of Environmental Management to determine requirements for these signs as they pertain to materials in your area. Signs must be permanent and mounted no closer than 2" from any doorframe or other sign unless prescribed otherwise by government regulation.

Barnardo's chief executive Anne Marie Carrie has responded to the Department of Local Communities and Government's troubled families strategy, saying it is important for the voluntary and statutory sector to "work together". Ms Carrie said:
"Many parents heading troubled families will have experienced poor parenting, abuse or neglect themselves and they need an understanding of their child's needs.
– Anne Marie Carrie, Chief Executive, Barnardos

LONDON (AP) -- Didier Drogba says he wasn't among the footballers to sign a pro-Palestine petition protesting against UEFA's decision to stage the European under-21 championship in Israel next year.
The former Chelsea striker, who now plays for Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, was included in the 62 names that were listed on a petition last Friday supporting Palestinian groups, organized by former Tottenham and Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute.
Drogba said Tuesday in a statement that "I did not sign this petition or give my support to this initiative because I have never got involved in any conflicts, even in my own country, the Ivory Coast."
Drogba says he tries to "work for peace and reconciliation" and "fight against any forms of injustice or discrimination" through his own foundation, created in 2007.

In the aftermath of the destruction of the Second Temple (70 CE), the sages of Yavneh and their successors provided the Jewish community with a wide range of alternative frameworks for religious expression. The question that will be addressed is: Were these steps perceived as temporary and intended to fill the immediate void created by the destruction, or were they intended to provide for a long-term, and possibly even more spiritualized context for future Judaism?

For almost 2,000 years, Jewish law has been denounced as a pedantic, hyper-legalistic system in which rights and duties are determined by splitting hairs and nit-picking, and not on the merits. The claim is that Jewish law focuses on abstract concepts, and gives little consideration to either human needs and real-life situations, or universal ethical imperatives. Despite its utter invalidity, the criticism, already voiced by St. Paul, continues to this day. This lecture will explore the factors that conspired to produce this distorted view of Jewish law, and the polemical background against which it emerged.

The method of attaining a divorce in Israel, which has no civil marriage or divorce, contrasts sharply with the divorce process in the Diaspora. This lecture will explore the ramifications of this contrast for all Jews in Israel, regardless of religious affiliation, as well as implications for Jews of the Diaspora.

"They are a wonderful support to us," Valerie Pollitt, principal at Fletcher Miller, said. "Our friends are these police officers who come into our building and our kids recognize those shinny badges that they wear."
Because of that friendship the students, teachers and staff at Fletcher Miller decided to pay tribute to fallen Lakewood Police officer James Davies. Davies was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 9. He was accidently shot and killed by another police officer as they were surrounding the home of a suspect.
The funeral procession for Officer Davies traveled past the front of Fletcher Miller School. The line of police cars in the procession stretched for miles.
As it passed the school the students, many in wheelchairs, held blue ribbons and waved to the police officers. For the students it was an opportunity to learn a lesson outside of the classroom.
"The sense of community; the sense of support; the sense of pride that they are part of this community," Beth Tutor, a teacher at Fletcher Miller, said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Records show a gun smuggling operation run by former town officials in Columbus, N.M., had a direct link to targets of the bungled "Fast and Furious" operation run by federal officials in Arizona.
Federal prosecutors have sought to distance the Columbus gun smuggling case from the Arizona probe.
But reports obtained by the Albuquerque Journal show federal agents were aware in early 2010 that the leader of the Columbus ring had been stopped a few months earlier with weapons purchased by a suspect involved in the Fast and Furious case.
That connection apparently dried up and ringleader and town trustee Blas "Woody" Gutierrez began buying guns himself and paying others to buy guns for him from a New Mexico dealer. He has pleaded guilty to gun smuggling but hasn't been sentenced.

ARLINGTON - If you're a Ranger fan who is worried about the team, you've come to the right place.
There is nothing to worry about.
Before their back-to-back walk-off wins against Minnesota, the Rangers had dropped a season-high five games in a row, including a 19-2 blowout to the White Sox. And from the beginning of May until mid-June, the Rangers had a six-week stretch during which they won only half their games. They hadn't exactly looked like the AL powerhouse they had supposedly become.
It was a popular subject on sports radio. The Rangers were playing .500 ball, they weren't beating teams that they should have been and they were in first place only because of their hot start in April.
The thing is, having long, mediocre stretches are not uncommon during a baseball season, and haven't been for the Rangers during their two AL Pennant years.
In 2010, they finished with a 90-72 record, 18 games over .500. Nearly all of that was done in June, when the Rangers went 21-6, 15 games over .500.
In 2011, Texas was scuffling along with a 44-41 record on July 3. But, they played well the rest of the month, going 17-7. Then they had an even better September, winning 19 of 25 and running away with their second straight AL West title. They finished with a 96-66 record.
This year, the Rangers hit the all-star break better than ever. Their 52-34 record is the best in franchise history at this point in the season, and they've used two great stretches of baseball to get there.
They won 15 of their first 19 games to start the season, then won 16 of 19 during a three week stretch in June. Those streaks put together add up to a 31-7 record. In all other games, Texas is 21-27. That's not a bad thing; that's just how it happens. Great teams don't win three out of every five games they play. But, by the time the season ends, they'll have won 60 percent of their games.
There is a trick math teachers will do to illustrate this. They will have half of their class flip a coin 200 times and keep track of heads versus tails;. The other half will simply make up the results.
The ones who fake it are influenced by the fact that there is an equal 50-50 chance a coin lands on heads or tails, so they won't write that a coin landed on one side more than a few times in a row. But, the students who do the exercise will find unexpected streaks, where the coin lands on one side five, 10 times in a row. There's a difference between a 50-50 chance, and a coin landing on heads every other time it's flipped.
And it's like that in baseball. Unless Texas had gotten to this point by winning their first 52 games of the year, and then losing the next 34, there's no reason to panic. These ups and downs are normal and should be expected.
In baseball, the most important thing is to make the playoffs. Just get in. St. Louis won the World Series last year after making the playoffs on the final day of the regular season, thanks to a huge collapse by Atlanta. The Cardinals won another title in '06 after winning only 83 regular season games.
There are no guarantees in the playoffs, but if you get in, you give yourself a chance. And unless the roof completely caves in on the Rangers (injuries), they'll make the playoffs again, and give themselves another chance. And that's all we can ask for.

Life-Size Lego Art in Hollywood
Lawyer-turned-sculptor Nathan Sawaya builds colorful works of art.
June 19, 2012
Nathan Sawaya's "The Art of the Brick" fuses childhood nostalgia with introspective reflection by manipulating Legos into large-scale sculptures. With over 25 unique works on display, "Brick" is currently on view at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (through August 19). Once a shirt-and-tie lawyer, Sawaya left the boardroom to work for the iconic toy brand before branching out on his own. Works in the exhibit focus on the human form, such as a sculpture of a couple kissing, a young boy grasping a ball, and even the faces of Mount Rushmore. Other designs lean more toward the whimsical, playful side of life, such as a row of Crayola crayons and a multi-colored peace sign. 1650 Harrison St., Hollywood, 954-921-3274

A star-powered rolodex of guests, including Gabrielle Union, Neon Hitch, Travie McCoy, and Kenny Burns, showed up to fête the sultry new vodka flavor and groove to beats by DJ Kiss and DJ M.O.S. Local tastemakers DJ Irie, Belkys Nerey, and Tracy Mourning were also spotted taking in Hotel Noir's elegant ambiance and sipping cherry-imbued cocktails.

Ask anyone who has ever been on a hunger strike; the process of intentionally starving oneself is a very painful ordeal. And yet, there are places on this planet where the idea of death is preferable to continuing down a path that offers no hope or relief from suffering. I live in such a place; I know.

My husband and I have been searching for the right chair to match our hazelnut colored couch. The chair that we found in a local store that was comparable to this one (just slightly bigger) was going to be over $1,000. It is hard to find a regular sized chair and ottoman since they make so many oversized/chair and a halfs now. We took a chance and ordered this although we were skeptical about the color - it seemed to have a pinkish/peach hue on the screen. The picture of just the material (middle picture) is the most accurate of all three. There is nothing pink or peach about this chair and the pictures do not depict it accurately. The primary colors are beautiful and are a rust, dark maroon, dark green, gold, tan. The quality is very good and seems well made. The back of the chair is lower than I expected, but suits us fine. My husband is a large guy and can sit comfortably in the chair. The seat is firm and kind of bouncy and is attached. I feel like you almost sit a little higher than the ottoman. Overall, this is an excellent deal and well worth the money. You cannot come close to this in any store around. Ours arrived within one week of ordering. Great purchase - go for it!
I bought a pair these to fill in a 'hole' created in a fairly large room filled with leather and other rustic furniture. The rich, warm hues of the fabric are perfect, primarily jewel-toned reds, greens and golds. They came extremely well packed and only required the little 'feet' be attached. I'm giving four instead of five stars for the following reasons: a) I had to trim threads all around the seams. No big, but really....and b) I wish I could tighten the feet a little more without fear of stripping the bolts. They're a little wobbly, not really noticeable to anyone but me, but I still wish I could tighten them more. Overall a very good buy, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for reasonably priced, comfortable chairs to go with browns, golds, etc.
Purchased this chair because of style, pattern, fabric, cost and reviews! Was not disappointed, I would agree with other reviewers that yes its firm but over time and wear it will become more comfortable. Only wish that the height of back was maybe 4 inches higher so i could lean head back on it. And mentioning back have spinal problems and this chair is firm enough for me to be comfortable. Thanks for a great purchase!! Hope the same for my other purchases!!
after looking both at furniture stores in town, and searching on the web, I found the perfect chair here at Overstock. I had priced out a similar chair/ottoman combination in a paisley print at a local store and would have paid more than double the price as it would have been special order, etc. As one of the other reviewers noted it is a "mama bear" size chair, and I would totally agree. The size fits me to a T. I can sit and do needlework, read, or watch TV very comfortably in it. I have even "dozed off" in it! I would recommend it highly. The colors are beautiful, the fabric seems quite thick, and the construction well put together. All in all a great find!
I expected the chair and ottoman to be nice. I expected the color to be exactly what I wanted. I can honestly say that the chair and ottoman exceeded my expectations in every way and I'm very pleased. I bought the chair and ottoman for my husband and he is also very happy. I am pleased with the way it looks and the quality. My husband is pleased with the quality and comfort. He even likes how nice it looks and that says a lot.
My chair arrived yesterday via UPS and, as another reviewer indicated, was left outside my garage door - no problem as it was a nice day, but just be aware. Unpacked, screwed on the legs, and placed the chair in my living room. It is always a risk buying furniture unseen. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the chair and ottoman. The fabric is sturdy, the chair is well upholstered and has a nice, comfortable look - not too formal, not too dated. It is very firm, which is what I was looking for, and sits rather high (I am 5'2" and my feet just barely touch the floor). I am disappointed with the color, however. It is perfectly nice and does work in my room, sort of, but the color is much more sedate, darker, and "greener" than depicted. I was anticipating a lighter, more orange/red tone, and more of a "Whimsical" paisley. Instead, this is an "Elegant" paisley, in a muted olive tone with hints of rust and wine. So it has more of a classic feel overall - not a perfect fit with eclectic, upbeat living room. I'll keep it - it is reasonably priced, fits the space, and I might be able to brighten it with a pillow or throw or something...
had to return it. Delivery was a hassle. Chair caved in the front, not sure if it happened in transit or at the CHINA factory. Besides that, quality not as described. Cheap, light, not solid. Good pattern for fabric (love paisley) but still cheap. Can't rate the comfort because we didn't even bother to sit in it- went right back in the box. Return of my money was prompt. Didn't feel like a good deal at *** and could not even imagine paying *** for this chair and ottoman! Really.
First , the previous reviewers weren't whistling Dixie about the firmness. This chair is hard. I laughingly refer to it as my Flintstones cement chair. However, on a positive note, it looks awesome, beautiful fabric true as represented. Some suggested that maybe it would soften up over time. Not sure it would but I kept it. It looks so good and too much hassle returning large pieces like this. Perhaps one can guide your friends and family with bad backs to it cause its firm and easy to get out of.
I have two of these chairs. They go very well with the cognac leather sofa and recliner I have. These chairs are very comfortable and there have been fights over who get to sit in them. The value, with the eight way hand tied construction, is exceptional.
I was looking for a chair for my living room to give the room an uplift.I get compliments about this chair every time I have a visitor, and it looks far more expensive that I paid. It's a great buy. I have a rust red color sofa and a dark red or maroon leather chair. This paisley print was a perfect match. The colors are a maroon, rustic red, fern green and gold earth tones. It is not peach or pink in any way as shown. I have an area rug with the same colors, however the rug is a bit wild. It is a large swirl of colors that coordinates well with the paisley chair. I bought the area rug and the sofa at Overstock. I have had the chair more than a year and looks brand new. It is well made and all I had to do at delivery was simply screw the legs on. I read an interview above that mentions fray because of a cat. I don't believe that is fair to mention because cats can destroy any fabric surface no matter how well made. It's really well made and I cannot see how it would fray unless someone took a tool and deliberately frayed it. No offense to the cat owner, but if that review prevents you from purchasing the chair, do not take that into consideration. The chair is quite firm and I noticed different comments depending on who sits on it. Most say it's comfortable. I think it's firm, but not uncomfortable at all. The matching ottoman is firm and made to use as a foot rest. I would not suggest placing a glass of liquid on it because it would fall at the slightest move. However, I have a side table beside it. I noticed others mentioned the back of the chair is not very high; it isn't a chair to lay your head back unless you move your legs further down on the ottoman. I believe the photo of the chair depicts the back of this chair just as it is. I am quite happy with this chair and thrilled I bought it. My only wish is that it was slightly softer, however, that may change the look of the chair. I understand everyone has their own likes while purchasing furniture. I was looking for an attractive chair that was well made, but not overpriced, and one that had a unique style. I found it with this chair.

This is Terrible Ted at his best. When the 80's started, Ted's music went cold.. This maybe could've came to effect because of Derek St. Holmes leaving the band. But, returning for Spirit of The Wild was perfect. This is my fav Ted Nugent album. I'm not talking about the compilation of Great Gonzo. Anyway if you want a great Ted album, buy this. I'm not just saying this. Take one listen to Fred Bear. It just rocks!!!!!!!!! The best songs are, the awesome Fred Bear, which, if it was made like 10 or 15 years ago it wouldve blown the competion out of the water. Another great song is, the underrated, I shoot back. It sounds so perfect for an album like spirit, it has a good hunting feel. also, listen to the powerful Thighracious, the politically CORRECT kiss my ass, and just do it like this. I also like Heart and Soul. It's just awesome … . But all the songs rock. i love wrong side of town.. it took me the longest time to get used to but after i listened to the whole thing i couldnt stop. i like lovejacker..its kinda too soft but its jus a nice song.. all of these songs rock. if u name any song on here ill give u areason its good. . So if I were you, get this album by the most underrated guitarist Ted Nugent!!!!!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
spirit of the wild is one of the greats by the motor city mad man it has every thing great vocals great guitar solos great songs. like fred bear heart and soul and kiss my ass is probally the best song the cd. spirit of the wild is a must have for all nuge fans
This album marks the return to familiar waters (like a salmon going upstream) for Ted Nugent…good music! We lost Ted there for a decade or so but SPIRIT OF THE WILD sets things right. Ted Nugent is an American music treasure and this album may help remind folks that ole Terrible Ted is still alive and kicking (and licking if the mood is right I'm sure). The songs have a theme that will remind the listener of the Amboy Dukes days, hunting, dominance, guns and the outdoors. The music is fresh and crisp, Ted's guitar work just keeps getting better. Derek St. Holmes returns and the magic just comes right back. The production methods were modern and polished, this was a ground up effort, not just some of his old music slapped onto a CD format without digital remastering. There are some people who will NOT like this album…Janet Reno, Jessie Jackson, Sarah Brady, The Crips and Bloods, NAACP, Yaser Arafat, IRS, the United Nations and all those liberals to name a few, he explains his attitude towards these people and institutions on track 9, I have to agree with him! The 80's were a disaster for Ted, this release and the 1997 release of LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH 79 have re-energized this Rock and Roll warhorse.The Great Gonzo hath returned! Long Live Ted!
I'm a female that does not proclaim to be a Ted Nugent fan. I'm not a gutair player so I can't say this music has difficult or inovative licks. I not that familiar with Ted's older stuff so I can't make that comparison either. I'm not a hunter. However, I sincerely and completely love Spirit of the Wild. I listen to it daily (at work, in the car, heck, I even jog to it) and have yet to get tired of it. My personal favorites are Tooth, Fang & Claw, Fred Bear, Heart & Soul, and Spirit of the Wild although I like them all. I got the extreme pleasure of seeing Ted at a small county fair. Amazing performance! He "warmed up" for Bad Co. Let's just say, when Ted was done and Bad Co. started, it was so anti-climatic, I had to leave. Not sure exactly why I relate to this particular CD so much but I do know it makes me feel good.
This is easily Ted Nugent's best album since the '70s. It blows previous albums such as Penetrator and Little Miss Dangerous out of the water. Getting Derek St. Holmes back in the fold was a smart move as Ted sounds rejuvenated here. There's lots of good songs here like "Heart and Soul", "Hot or Cold", "Thighraceous", and "Lovejacker." Longer tracks such as "Tooth, Fang, and Claw" and "Fred Bear" are as strong as the songs on his '70s albums. Some of the other tracks such as "Wrong Side of Town", "Primitive Man", and "Just Do It Like This" aren't up to par with the rest of the album. Still this is a return to form as the good far outweighs the bad.

Stop The Stormwater Utility "Fee" Now!
Adams County Rain Tax Expanded To Public Roadways
Despite major public pushback over a forced rain tax on residents in unincorporated Adams County, commissioners took it one step further last Tuesday, and are now taxing property owners for rain that falls on public roads. Read More
Idaho Supreme Court ruled
stormwater Lewiston illegally collected stormwater fees
The Idaho Supreme court ruled the stormwater fee was instead a tax. As such, the city did not have the legal authority to levy the tax. Only the state legislature could do that.

Our organization, representing all unincorporated Adams County citizens and business owners, has engaged an experienced law firm to protect our rights and we need your help!
Sean Gallagher, from Polsinelli and Shughart (www.polsinelli.com) represented us at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting on April 29th.
It was a great success. Hundreds of concerned citizens showed up to voice their opposition to the illegal tax.
Subscribe to our newsletter section located on lower right of this page! This is the ONLY way we can make certain you are getting the newest updated information!!!
Please share this site with anyone and everyone you know in Unincorporated Adams County (i.e. Friends, Neighbors, HOA presidents, HOA email contact lists, HOA management companies, Schools, Businesses, Churches, Non-Profits, etc). The more people we can keep informed and educated regarding this unnecessary (and illegal) storm water fee, the better chance we have of getting this fee (ie. tax) repealed.
The Adams County Colorado Board of Commissioners recently approved the formation of a Stormwater Utility for unincorporated Adams County.
This means that you will be charged a "fee" for the amount of rain or snow that falls on your roof and driveway. This fee will show on your property tax bill. (They are calling it a fee, we think it is really a tax being imposed without voter approval).
If you live in unincorporated Adams County, you WILL be affected by this tax and should get involved in our efforts to defeat and eliminate it.
Adams County commissioners cap stormwater fees temporarily
Adams County has temporarily converted its controversial new stormwater fee to a flat rate and will convene a citizens advisory panel in response to a rush of opposition and threats of litigation.
SSUA feels this resolution is drafted as a "temporary" appeasement to quiet the crowd. Once citizens are no longer engaged in the process, the commissioners will have "free reign" to elevate the fee structure back to pre-determined levels or higher.

After his first time riding a Segway, 11-year-old Gregg Jantz Jr. was hooked. There weren't Segway tours in his hometown of Edmonds, so he and his father went to the company's headquarters in New Hampshire to learn more about the self-balancing transporters. They were excited about what they learned there, leading to the creation of Segway of Edmonds.
Today, visitors can take 90-minute tours of Puget Sound. By day, the tours take a historical angle, and educate groups about Olympic Beach and the mills that used to sit along the coast. Sunset tours create beautiful photo ops, and can be arranged to end with dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants. All tours begin with a 30-minute orientation session, and guides stop occasionally to take photos of groups and make sure no one has fused to their Segway. Visitors can also rent Segways for self-guided tours.
What does a city taste like? If you're on Taste Seattle Food Tours' excursions, it tastes like the multicultural blending of cuisines found in Pioneer Square, one of Seattle's oldest neighborhoods. An intimate walking excursion travels through the neighborhood at a leisurely pace and visits eight independent businesses, from boutiques such as Intrigue Chocolate Co. and Sous Sol Winery to gourmet caf?s and restaurants. Each stop introduces a small business owner, chef, or other culinary artist who divulges some of their establishment's history and explains its role in the neighborhood, whether as a cutting-edge food destination or the place where all the celebrity farmers hang out. Locations are chosen for their passion for seasonal and sustainable ingredients as well as their stories. Between each stop, the guide also delves into the history of Pioneer Square and points out some interesting elements of its Renaissance Revival architecture.
The veteran athletes at Peregrine Expeditions nurture their already intimate relationships with Mother Nature during skiing and climbing excursions into the icy peaks of Mount Baker or jagged rock faces of Mount Erie. Backcountry skiing courses hone snow-skimming techniques, and intense skiing tours toe the border between the United States and Canada on two-day treks that embark each morning from a hut at base camp. Adrenaline junkies foray into Forbidden Peak for two or three days, conquering the ins and outs of navigating ice, performing mountaintop rescues, and backpacking in challenging conditions. Kid-specific expeditions tone tiny muscles and teach bird calls used to ask eagles the way to the nearest latrine as youngsters grouped by age engage in courses that span one to five days.
Outer Island Expeditions' fleet of kayaks and boats safely cruises at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour through frothy crests ebbing amid the striking sights and wildlife of the San Juan islands. Venturing as far as 50 miles into Canadian waters, whale-watching excursions foster personal rapport between patrons and boat-side orcas, gray whales, or humpback whales trying to learn human etiquette for future espionage missions. Tours of Stuart Island's Turn Point lighthouse begin aboard a 22-foot Kodiak skiff, which buoys patrons through 16 miles of waters inhabited by sea lions and porpoises before they disembark and hike to the lighthouse's historical museum. Fishing charters set sail in search of ocean creatures and potable salt water from all of Outer Island Expeditions' four launch points: Smuggler's Villa Resort, Semiahmoo Resort, Lopez Island, and The Willows on Lummi Island.

Blockbuster LA-Cleveland deal unlikely
Rumored deal would have involved Loney, Lee, Martinez
Major League sources told MLB.com on Sunday that there is no truth to FOXSports.com's report that the Dodgers are in serious talks with the Indians about a trade that would send left-hander Cliff Lee and catcher Victor Martinez to Los Angeles for first baseman James Loney, a young starting pitcher such as Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley and prospects.
The sources told MLB.com that those players have not been formally discussed and that no deal is imminent.
The Dodgers are interested in trading for an experienced starter such as Lee or the Blue Jays' Roy Halladay but have been reluctant to part with either Kershaw or Billingsley.
The original report also said that the Indians were looking at Double-A third baseman Josh Bell, Double-A outfielder Andrew Lambo, Triple-A left-hander Scott Elbert and Triple-A right-hander Josh Lindblom as part of the proposed trade.
Rhett Bollinger is a reporter for MLB.com This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

NCAA football is realigning again. To the MAC bomb shelter!
Temple's finally left the MAC, and I wonder if these voicemails had anything to do with it.
Temple may leave for the Big East coincidentally on Leap Day. Which got us thinking: sounds like the perfect holiday for realignment.
The MAC shouldn't want any program that doesn't want to belong. Lookin' at you, Temple.
MAC parity ruins Top 25 chances, yes. But the very same beating up of teams during conference play will ultimately save the conference from being devoured during realignment.
With a win over Maryland, now Rick Pitino is clamoring for the Owls to join the Big East in every sport. And here we go again!

Gun Control: It's Time for the Majority to Move
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
New federal gun-control legislation has been declared all but dead on arrival this week.

Marketing materials leaked by way of IGN appear to have revealed some key details of Destiny, the mysterious new franchise in the works at Halo developer Bungie, and their first game since their departure from Microsoft.
The authenticity of the leak has since been confirmed by Bungie, who mention they "We weren't quite ready, but we will be soon, and we can't wait to finally show you what we've really been up to", but encourage people to take a peek anyway, and have released their own piece of official concept art (via IGN):
According to the document, "Our story begins seven hundred years from now in the Last City on Earth, in a Solar System littered with the ruins of man's Golden Age. A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector. Meanwhile, strange, alien monsters creep in from the edge of the universe, determined to take Earth and the Last City. We are young 'knights' tasked with defending the remains of humanity, discovering the source of these monsters and – eventually – overcoming it." Elsewhere in the document, the massive alien ship is referred to as "the Traveler."The accessible adventure theme, and marketing concept art found on IGN suggest a very Star Warsy vibe, but we won't know for sure until the official reveal, which VG247 suggest is likely to happen at the 2012 Spike VGA's on December 7th, due to a hinting tweet by G4's Geoff Keighly.
The Destiny franchise will be published by Activision across multiple platforms, starting with the first game on Xbox 360 in the 2013 holiday season, and followed with planned sequels, and expansions all the way through to 2020.

What is workforce analytics? How can it help you select and retain the right people? And does it optimise how your workforce operates? Deloitte talks to organisations from across Asia Pacific on how workforce analytics is revolutionising HR.
Talent is one of the biggest challenges for MNCs in Asia. How do organisations respond to the challenges of managing in multicultural environments, weak employer branding and talent shortages?
The workforce is one of the single largest expense items in the profit and loss statement. Workforce analytics can make your staff more effective, give you visibility on why people stay – or leave, and tell you who gives most value for money.
Competition for talent in Asia is intense. If organisations are to win and hold customers, they need the right people. How can workforce analytics enable companies to better attract and retain top performers in the workforce?

Ad Watch: Harry Reid on Jobs
by Jonathan Singer, Thu Jun 10, 2010 at 04:52:04 PM EDT
Powerful stuff:
These ads are compelling not only on in their message -- that Harry Reid has delivered thousands of new green jobs to Nevada in the way that only a leader in Congress can -- but also in their delivery. Notice the silence in the ad, the lack of the standard background music of virtually all other political ads. These spots are different, which will help them stand out. The imagery is also striking. In the first ad, in particular, the narrative arc of the man going to work at a new job in the morning fits perfectly with the broader message of helping Nevadans get back to work. Great spots.

The death penalty is now off the table for 26-year-old Rashad Riddick, who is charged with the deaths of his cousin, uncle and aunt in Madison County.
In court, the commonwealth and defense said they reached an agreement: the commonwealth will not seek the death penalty and the defense will not get a jury trial.
That means a judge alone will hear the case and sentence Riddick if he is found guilty. That's expected to happen in September.
Riddick is accused of murdering his uncle James Jackson, Jackson's wife Karen and her daughter Chante Davis in February 2011.
