This paper proposes an unsupervised algorithm for learning a finite mixture model from multivariate data. The adjective "unsupervised" is justified by two properties of the algorithm: 1) it is capable of selecting the number of components and 2) unlike the standard

"Hi." I said.
One of the little girls said, "Hi."
Catherine shot me a look.
"Did you guys camp last night?"
The one that talked said, "Yeah."
"Me too." I said. "Were you scared?"
"No." She said. Her friend shot her a look as Catherine shot me a look.
"You weren't?!?" I said. "Well, I was kinda scared."
The both politely smiled at me as Catherine moved to a different section of the facilities, elbowing me on her way.
"Do you live in San Francisco?" I asked. The talker shook her head, as her friend gave me the side-eyes. "Where did you come from?" I asked.
"Wow. That's far away. What grade are you in?"
"So does that make you ten?" I was trying to look as normal as possible, but I had just spent the night in a tent. I looked like Janice Joplin after a bender.
"Yeah." She said.
Catherine emerged, handed me some face moisturizer and said, "Let's go."
"Bye!" I said.
And the talker said, "Bye."
Catherine was all freaked out that I talked to unsupervised children in a public restroom, but I don't see what the big deal is. I am not a child predator. I am an inquisitive person and don't you think it's interesting they came all the way from Stockton?!?
"Well, yeah. That was interesting." Catherine said, before regaling everyone back at the campsite (14 paces away) with my lewd conversation skills. And obviously, kudos to the parents of the quiet girl who have obviously drilled home the old, "Don't talk to strangers (especially in public bathrooms)." But I've decided the chattier girl just followed her instincts that I'm not the kidnapping type and chose to be polite. Which is more important: being paranoid about people talking to you in a toilet or basic human decency? You tell me.
Later, Catherine's fianace Brian was rolling up his tent. A little boy from the other campsite came over and said, "You guys leavin'?"
"Yeah." said Brian. "What about you?"
"Yeah, we leavin' too." He said. "We just stayed one night."
"That's cool." said Brian.
"See ya later!" The kid said. And Brian waved at him.
I walked over to Brian. "How come you're allowed to talk to unsupervised children?"
He shoved the tent in the bag, looked up at me and said, "Because I am non-threatening..."
There will be more on this camping thing later. I just thought that was funny...

PHOENIX (AP) - The Justice Department says it will monitor Guadalupe's municipal election Tuesday to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.
Under the act, the Justice Department is authorized to ask the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to send federal observers to jurisdictions that are certified by the attorney general or by a federal court order.
Federal observers will be assigned to monitor polling place activities in Maricopa County based on the Attorney General's certification.
The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours in the town of Guadalupe.
A Civil Rights Division attorney will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.

Women's Tennis to Close Out 2013 Dual Match Season with Two Road Tests
FORT MYERS, Fla. – With two regular season dual matches remaining in the 2013 regular season, the FGCU women's tennis team will hit the road to take on Stetson on Saturday, April 13 at 2 p.m. to close out regular season conference play before facing Bethune-Cookman on Sunday, April 14 at 10 a.m. for FGCU's regular season finale.
Entering with a 10-6 overall record and a 4-3 mark in A-Sun play, FGCU will look to snap its three-match losing skid with the Eagles not having come out of a dual match victorious since March 23.
With the start of the Atlantic Sun Championship tournament one week away, the Green and Blue will work to become strong throughout its entire lineup on both the singles and doubles courts. The Eagles will look to jump ahead early on both the Hatters and Wildcats to avoid playing from behind which has been the downfall to FGCU as of late.
Stetson (9-9, 4-3 A-Sun) will enter its dual match with FGCU with the upper hand in the series history between the two programs as the Hatters have won three of the four matches in their all-time history against each other. The two teams last met on April 7, 2012 at the FGCU Tennis Complex with FGCU coming out on top with a close 4-3 triumph. The Eagles will look to make it two in a row against the Hatters and collect their first victory at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center as FGCU is 0-2 all-time on Stetson's home courts.
In an effort to refine its skills before competing in the A-Sun tournament, FGCU will step out of conference play to take on Bethune-Cookman (13-9, 3-1 MEAC) for its final regular season spring dual match of 2013. The Eagles and Wildcats have met a total of five times with FGCU not having lost to Bethune-Cookman in any of the five matches with all five victories having come in decisive fashion.
If the Eagles collect one victory over the weekend they will set a Division I program record for wins in a season. The current record is 10 wins which was set during the 2012 dual match season, FGCU currently has already tied the record with 10 wins through 16 dual matches this season.
After its two road matches over the weekend, the Green and Blue will shift their focus to the A-Sun Championship that will be hosted by ETSU in Johnson City, Tenn. The championships will begin with the quarterfinal round on Friday, April 19.
Following the match, results and a recap from the dual match action will be available at www.FGCUATHLETICS.com.

The Deer Park volleyball team staged a pair of comebacks to defeat Medical Lake 25-15, 25-29, 25-23 in Great Northern League action on Tuesday.
The Lady Stags, who broke open a 10-10 tie to easily win the first game, fell behind early in the second game. An ace by the Cardinals Raquel Alsept game Medical Lake a 16-8 lead before the Lady Stags made their move.
Zoey Mohr's kill through a pair of Cardinal blockers gave Deer Park a 20-19 lead. An ace by Haley Wainwright gave the Lady Stags some breathing room at 22-20 and they cruised the rest of the way.
Neither team could game any momentum early in the third game. Tied again at 10-10, Medical Lake took advantage of some sloppy Deer Park play to take a 14-11 lead.
Another Mohr kill gave the Lady Stags an 18-17 advantage only to see the teams tied at 23-23.
Alisha Perez ended the match with a kill.
Senior Kimmie Brazington led the Lady Stags with nine kills, while Amarah Nicholson led the Cardinals with six.

Need a clearer indication that Windows 9 is set to launch soon? In a post on micro-blogging service Weibo, Microsoft China asked, "Microsoft's latest OS Windows 9 is coming soon, do you think the start menu at the left bottom will make a come back?" The post was accompanied by a Windows 9 logo, which was quickly removed, but not before Cnbeta managed to spot it.
We could tell you all about Microsoft's latest commercial pitting Cortana's abilities on the new HTC One M8 for Windows against Siri on the iPhone 5S, but we'd rather you see it for yourself.
On Windows Phone, you can select a few apps as your default when snapping photos. By default Windows, Phones have the Camera app from Microsoft. In Windows Phone 8.1, it was updated with a handful of new features like burst mode. You can, of course, change your default camera. Those with a Lumia handset can use Nokia Camera while those with the HTC can use the HTC Camera. Which do you use by default?
Super Time Force is now free on Xbox One. Head to the Xbox Store and you can grab this side-scrolling shooter game Super Time Force without spending a dime. You will of course need to have an Xbox Live Gold membership since this deal is part of the Games with Gold promotion. Anyone with Xbox Live Gold will have a few games available for free on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
One of the great features in Windows Phone 8.1 is the ability to restore from a backup when setting up a new device. Everything from your Start screen layout to the apps themselves and even some settings can all be 'restored' if you ever change devices, or wish to hard-reset and start anew.
However, a few people have noticed that under Settings > Backup, there is an error message noting that the last backup attempt has failed. Even more worrisome, you may not even know it. Yikes! The good news is there is a fast and simple way to get this fixed, and you may want to double check that your OS is backed up. Here's how.
For Lumia users who lose their keys or valuables, Nokia's Treasure Tag will help you find those treasures with your smartphone. Now, Verizon Wireless has a big $10 sale on the $30 accessory, bringing the price down to just $20. The tags are available in either black, white, or yellow, and features a nice loop that you can attach to your keyring.
Good news, if you are in Canada, as today Microsoft and its carrier partners have set free the Lumia Cyan update for the Lumia 520 and Lumia 620 for almost all carriers up north. The entry and budget level devices in Canada have been lagging behind the global release, which saw its near completion last week.
Let us take a look at which carriers got the update for their Lumias!
Telegram Messenger's beta app for Windows Phone has been updated to add a few new features to the service and make the app quicker. The update, which is now inversion 0.1.3.8, brings voice messages to secret chats and the ability for users to pin secret chats to the Start screen.
Microsoft is prepping to drop the 2GB file size limit for OneDrive. Right now a small number of users can upload files larger than 2GB in size to OneDrive. Users on Reddit were the first to notice a change, with Microsoft sharing a statement to The Next Web to confirm the file size limit changes.
One of Amazon's newest "Lightning Deals", where they offer products at deep discounts for a very limited time, is for the low cost Lumia 520 smartphone. The Windows Phone device is now on sale for $99.99
As Microsoft continually improves their new Cortana voice-assistant, users are discovering more novice features every day. Recently, we covered all the new songs Cortana can either sing (or semi-sing), and today we are learning that she can now tell you the time or convert currencies.
Just by asking Cortana "What time is it?" and the assistant fetches you the present time. Although she does not yet read it out loud, making this new find slightly less useful. Actually, asking Cortana the current time itself is redundant since it likely your phone already has an up-to-date clock (especially since with Update 1, the OS can synchronize over Wi-Fi for the current time).
The Surface Pro 3 launched in many more markets around the world last week, including the UK. Now there's word that the 12-inch Windows 8.1 tablet from Microsoft is in short supply across the pond.
Yezz has announced plans to launch two new Windows Phone 8.1 devices in October for the European market, the Billy 4 and Billy 4.7, both of which are apparently named for Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Myntra.com is the leading online retailer of fashion and casual lifestyle products in India, and headquartered in Bangalore. Acquired by Flipkart a few months ago, the shopping portal offers clothes, footwear, and fashion accessories for men, women, and kids.
The company has just launched their official shopping app for Windows Phone devices offering products from over 600 brands.

The Lumia 630 is available through Carphone Warehouse for just £89.95 on Pay As You Go plans. This offer brings down the price of the handset from £129.95 and is an absolute bargain for anyone looking for a new, affordable Windows Phone. As well as the deal, Carphone Warehouse will provide up to £25 on old smartphones when trading it in for the Lumia 630.
The latest operating system market share numbers from research firm Net Applications show that both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 saw gains in August 2014, a month after Windows 8.1 suffered a slight loss in market share in July.
China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) is demanding a "written explanation within 20 days" from Microsoft over queries about Windows and Office compatibility. Earlier this month, the Chinese government launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft centred around the bundling of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player with the Windows operating system.
The Lumia 530 is the latest Windows Phone to hit the UK shores and NokNok.tv – Microsoft's UK blog – is running a quick competition for you to win one. The team have their lucky hands on three units to give away over the next three weeks. The first week requires you to share a photo that best sums up 5:30pm for you. This could be anything from relaxing (or not so) post-work activities to spending time with the kids.
IFA 2014 is just days away in Berlin and Microsoft is starting to tease its next Windows Phone announcement on September 4th. We previously looked at invitations being fired out that hinted at a special 'selfie' Windows Phone (the Lumia 730) and this morning the company shared an image, which could have potentially been taken with said Windows Phone.
Remember the Windows Phone handsets Micromax launched over two months ago? The first of the two devices, the Canvas Win W121, is now available on Flipkart for Rs. 9,494 (around $157). Looks like Micromax has not entered into any exclusive deals with the store, as the mobile is also available on Snapdeal for Rs. 9499, and on Amazon India for Rs. 9,999 ($165).
MyBucks is a new and full-featured Starbucks app for Windows Phone. The app comes to us from Windows Phone developer Elliot Forde, the guy behind popular Instagram and Twitter stat app UnfollowSpy. MyBucks launched a few days ago and is an easy recommendation if you frequent Starbucks.
It is a situation none of us wants to go through. We lose our grip and find our Windows Phone bouncing down the sidewalk or we find ourselves in another nightmare situation that sends our Windows Phone into harm's way. The end result often finds our screen cracked or shattered.
Windows Phone Central forums member coip has started a discussion asking what to do with a cracked screen. His wife dropped her Nokia Lumia 928 and cracked the screen. With 9 months left on the contract, the options they are considering include living with the cracked screen, buy a used Windows Phone to make it to the end of the contract or upgrade early to either the HTC One M8 or Lumia Icon.
Destiny, Sunset Overdrive and Halo: The Master Chief Collection are just some of our picks.
Microsoft launched the Xbox One console less than 10 months ago, but the launch titles that were offered at that time were something of a mixed bag. That's usually the case for the release of a new console but there's a lot more to look forward to for the fall and holiday season as a flood of new Xbox One games are set for release.
It's not a shock to learn that the fourth quarter of every year is also the biggest sales period for console games in general, which is why we see a ton of new titles released between September and November. Game publishers like to flood the market with new games so that when the holiday shopping season rolls around, there's a variety of new games to purchase.
Dungeons & Dragons is a super-popular tabletop role-playing game. There have been numerous titles released in digital format for players to enjoy on their consoles and gaming rigs, but many have failed to replicate the magic of tabletop. That could change as Backflip Studios is looking to bring a new Dungeons & Dragons game to mobile platforms and it's set to introduce some neat features.

This weekend, I'm preparing for an
I could be harmed in prison, but that certainly could have happened to me while in
The cruelty of prison rests in locking up people who are often already feeling remorse and low self-esteem because of past actions and then heaping upon them more reasons to feel badly about themselves and allowing almost no means to improve their situation. Parents separated from their children, feeling that they've screwed up their lives, are often snarled at by counselors and guards who say they should have thought about their loved ones before they started causing trouble. People who've committed crimes, often nonviolent crimes which they honestly regret, (mainly related to drug use and drug trade), shouldn't be free to continue harming themselves or others through drug traffic. But why take away every other freedom, and why employ other human beings to act as "human zookeepers?â€
I've felt somewhat insulated from attacks on self-esteem while in prison. I'm proud of line-crossings that protest pouring money into the Project ELF nuclear weapon facility in northern
But I do feel troubled because I've been so distanced, in recent years, from some of the poorest people in our country. I need to better understand what's happening to them. Am I right when I guess that the media successfully pressures young people in inner cities to consume, to buy, to have brand name this and that? Does this corporate push to buy certain lines of clothing, cosmetics, and cars push people further into an underground economy because they can't get a stake in the above ground economies after our education system has badly failed them? Thinking of how George Fox, who helped found the Quaker faith, would stand on church pews during sermons and urge people to trod gently over the earth, seeing that of god in everyone, I've nurtured a fantasy related to court rooms. Suppose one were to stand up on a courtroom bench, risk contempt of court, and ask, "Could we just take a minute to analyze our setting here with a live graph? How many in this court room are making money in the criminal justice system and how many are "the raw material†feeding this system? I'll bet that the people making money would be, primarily, white and well educated. They're the lawyers, the judges, the courtroom personnel. And I'll bet that the people feeding the system, keeping the well paid criminal justice system employees in business, would be African American, Hispanic, and Asian. If convicted, the "criminals†could find themselves earning 18 cents per hour laboring, within the prison industrial complex, for major

I managed to occupy the top bunk and, over the next hours, women closest to me were curious and then kindly, asking me how I'd ended up in the bullpen. We found small ways to be helpful to one another. For instance, I had my "week-at-a-glance†address book with me which included a small map of the
Major Nick and Sargeant Roy, the officers responsible to run the
One day a woman came into the cell who had been charged with a DUI, driving unde the influence. Her lawyer came to bail her out the next day. As she left, I asked if she could leave behind her newspaper. "Oh honey,†she said, "you all shouldn't have to read yesterday's news. I'll get them to send in today's paper.†I politely said that we'd rather have the old one because when we ran out of toilet paper we used newspaper. As soon as she was outside, she slapped a lawsuit against the prison for failing to respect human rights. As soon as Major Nick learned of it, he stormed into "the bullpen.†"Which one of you all bitches in this here bullpen had the nerve to say that we do not GIVE you toilet paper?†he bellowed. I expected a chorus of angry responses, but instead heard, "Musta' been Missiles. She thinks she's living in some kind of hotel!†I was stunned. I felt like a general leading the charge who looks behind, asking, "Where are the troops?†Major Nick polled each woman in the cell. "Have you EVER had an experience in this bullpen where your needs were not met?!†Each woman avowed that Major Nick and Sargeant Roy took good care of them. When my turn came, I listed the items they didn't supply, told him how awful the slop they fed us had been, complained about the miasmic cloud of cigarette smoke hovering over us, and assured Major Nick that he shouldn't run a kennel for dogs much less a place where human beings lived.
Hours later, after a glass of kool-aid was spilled on the metal table and we had no paper towel to clean it up, women began shouting, "Guard! Guard! We need paper towels.†No paper towels arrived. A sticky puddle trickled onto the floor.
Months later, at the
The story has become a metaphor for me. Who had the biggest responsibility, in "the bullpen,†to raise her voice? To whom much is given, much is required. When we witness, first hand, serious abuses of fellow human beings, and when we have a chance to raise our voices and perhaps alleviate their afflictions, how can we keep quiet?
In our world, many of us who live in the

In his riveting autobiography, From Yale to Jail, (Rose Hill Books, 1993), David Dellinger concludes a chapter entitled "Prison Again†with an editorial he published in 1947, after his release from Lewisburg maximum-security penitentiary. Deploring the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Dellinger wrote "Without any semblance of a democratic decision—without even advance notice of what was taking place—the American people waked up one morning to discover that the United States government had committed one of the worst atrocities in history…The sudden murder of 300,000 Japanese is consistent with the ethics of a society which is bringing up millions of its own children in city slums.â€
From previous imprisonment, I recall a world of imprisoned beauty, and yet most of the women I met landed there because of ugly circumstances which they had tried to escape through drug use, drug sales, or both.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - The University of Arkansas says quarterback Tyler Wilson is expected to practice hours after he was involved in a car accident.
Arkansas football spokesman Zack Higbee says Wilson wasn't injured in the Tuesday morning crash along Interstate 540. Higbee says Wilson is expected to practice Tuesday afternoon.
An Arkansas State Police report says Wilson was rear-ended after he braked suddenly for traffic that stopped in front of him. Police say Wilson wasn't cited and no one was injured.
Wilson has averaged 338.8 yards passing per game despite missing a game and a half with a concussion this season.
The Razorbacks (2-4) face Kentucky (1-5) on Saturday.

Poures a roasted nut brown with a thinner somewhat creamy off white head atop,the color seems to be a bit lighter than an avergae porter.Aromas are smoked and somewhat earthy with the vanilla pretty faint and in the background.The vanilla flavors are more pronounced on the palate intermingling nicely with the dryer,lighter earthy/smoked flavors.A fuller creamy feel is nice but I have to admit I was expecting a little more from this beer,I would have liked more vanilla in the aromas and a little more smoke on the palate.In saying that it's still pretty damn good,Stone is held in real high regard from me.

A: A dark brown with good clarity. The head is persistant and made of compact, light-tan bubbles.
S: The moderate aroma of the vanilla about even with the coffee, chocolate and malt sweetness of the porter, the smoked aroma is up there too but it comes in a bit behind the two main aromas. No hops to speak of in the nose.
T: The moderately-strong smoke steps it up in the taste slightly dominate the moderate vanilla and malt flavors of coffee, chocolate and a touch of toffee. There is a moderate hops bitterness with a moderate malt sweetness having a balance that is slightly towards the bitter. The finish is medium and the aftertaste is of smoke, coffee and malt bitterness.
M: A medium bodied beer with moderate carbonation and a bit of creaminess.
O: A flavor packed bottle that isn't too rich but would go well with dessert. A decent amount of smoke in the flavor.

I honestly can say that this beer is on my "avoid" list.I recently tried clown shoes ganghis pecan.With all that roasted and smoked characters it really gave the beers a taste that my pallet just won't forgive.To each their own.But for this guy I have to give it a fail.

A - Pours deep brown with two fingers of creamy looking tan head. Head has good retention and leaves nice lacing.
S - Lots of vanilla in the nose, along with coffee, cocoa and faint smoke.
T - There is more smoke in the taste, but vanilla is still the most prevalent taste, along with coffee. The vanilla flavor is a nice complement for the base beer, but it seems a bit heavy handed here. Not bad, but a bit too much vanilla. The finish turns earthy and smoky with a bit of char.
M - Medium mouthfeel with some lingering earthy bitterness. Carbonation seems about right.
O - Pretty good, but I don't have much desire to have it again. I wish the vanilla were a bit more subtle.

12 oz bottle. Pours brown with a medium rocky light tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is some chocolate malts, smoke and perfumey vanilla.
The flavor is sweet vanilla followed by an acidic charry bitter smokiness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, interesting, but the sweet vanilla didn't blend well with the acidic bitter smoke to me.

Review from a 12 oz bottle purchased 11/20/12
A --- dark, thick and 1/4 inch head
S --- smoke, vanilla and
T --- lots of vanilla and malts. The smokiness is downplayed which I enjoy in this pairing.
M --- light to medium body and carbonation
O --- very good! I try to match food with smoked porters, but I could drink this one by itself.

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date
LOOK: Dark brown hue, clear, ample tan head
SMELL: Vanilla, cocoa, mild char, dried grass, ghost-like smokiness
TASTE: Burnt grain, very smooth, mild smokiness, coffee grounds, kiss of vanilla, hint of alcohol, nutty, moderate hoppiness, ashy burnt finish
Trying this again after over a year, perhaps my palate changed or the beer was tweaked a bit ... flavors seem to mesh well together. Worth a go.

Happy to track down a 12 ounce bottle of this much sought after nectar. No bottling date or other freshness info offer, but the consumer is encourage to "Enjoy Fresh" I do not have to be told twice.
The pour is dark brown, dark tan head, and leaving decent fine lacing.
The nose is of milk chocolate, and of course, vanilla.
Notes of more chocolate, darker, smoky grains and moderate sweetness, provided by the vanilla infusion.
Very smooth, light and creamy in the mouth.
Ehh, not really my favorite. One and done for me.
Best application would be as a dessert beer, for example with a decadent chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, so sounds pretty damn good actually.

Boesmans, Figueroa Top Finishers for FGCU at St. Mary's Invitational
SEASIDE, Calif. – FGCU men's golf newcomers Edward Figueroa (Naples, Fla./St. John Neumann) and Mathias Boesmans (Belgium/Western Texas College) continued the strong start to their first seasons in the green and blue on Tuesday, as the Eagles wrapped up play at the St. Mary's Invitational being held at Bayonet and Blackhorse Golf Courses.
Figueroa, a freshman from nearby Naples, finished as FGCU's low man for the second straight tournament to start his career, while Mathias equaled Figueroa's 28th place finish in the field of 85.
As a team, FGCU (306-315-306/927) equaled its first round score of 306 in Tuesday's final round to finish in 15th place. Host St. Mary's (290-285-285/860) used its second straight three-under 285 to take home first place in a 15-team field that included five top 100 programs in the June Golf Week rankings. The Gaels' Ben Geyer used eight birdies in the final round to shoot a seven-under 65 to jump all the way from 19th place into medalist honors.
Sitting in 10th place after round one, Kentucky (305-282-280/867) played the tournament's final 36 holes a combined 14-under par and finished second. No. 7 Oregon (296-287-291/874) was 14 strokes off St. Mary's pace in third, while Fresno State (289-288-301/878) and Santa Clara (301-287-294/882) rounded out the top five.
With no round higher than 76 through his first two tournaments, Figueroa finished with a three round 74-76-73/223. Figueroa and Boesmans are the only two Eagles to turn in a counting score in all six rounds this season. Figueroa's 73 on Tuesday featured 13 pars as he finished the 54-hole tournament with 35 pars.
Boesmans reached as low as three-under through his first six holes on Tuesday before finishing with a three-over 75. The Belgium native produced a 72(E)-76-75/223 scorecard that yielded an eagle, six birdies and 36 pars. Boesmans played the Bayonet course's par 5s at a combined three-under par in the first and final rounds.
Senior Jeremy Self (Tupelo, Miss./Tupelo HS) gave the Green and Blue three counting scores at 76 or lower on Tuesday. Self's final round 76 was his lowest score of the tournament, while the final counting score came from sophomore Jack Hernandez (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot) in the form of an 82.
FGCU will return to the links in five days when it helps co-host the Cobra-PUMA Invitational along with Xavier University at Miromar Lakes Golf Club in Fort Myers, Fla. The tournament will begin on Sunday, Sept. 30 with 36 holes and a shotgun at 9 a.m. Monday's final round will also begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.

Studying needs to be written in bold letters because it is your most important job as a college student, and it takes the most time. Don't let anyone talk you out of it. No matter how clever or smart you are, learning in college requires two things: going to all your classes without fail and studying.
Maybe you didn't study much in High School--or at least you think you didn't! But High School has studying built right into its format. Classes meet every day, and part of the lesson plan includes a review of the material covered the day before. That's studying! Teachers assign material in short segments. You remember those chapters with questions at the end--homework questions! Doing the homework is part of studying. The questions teach students how to condense and rephrase the material they have read. Both of these techniques are part of studying. Teachers put notes on the board, usually clues to the important ideas they will be covering on the next quiz or test. Note taking is an important part of studying too! The quizzes are also study tools. They prepare students for the tests.
So, while you think you didn't have to study in High School, you were actually learning basic study methods that you will need in college, when classes don't meet every day and teachers don't package material in small chunks and don't always put notes on the board or give quizzes. In college, you will need to formulate your own process of learning and studying the material presented in class. Here are some of the methods you already know:
Here's a little quiz: Discuss five of the study techniques that are most compatible with your own learning style.

Manchester superintendent tries to stem Hooksett defections
"This obvious and deliberate attempt to circumvent the Agreement must stop immediately as it is an insult to our intelligence and an intentional breach of the Agreement," Superintendent of Schools Thomas Brennan wrote.
It's the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter battle between the two districts over class sizes.
In December, Hooksett filed a breach of contract claim against the city, claiming that overcrowded classrooms qualified as a reason to let the town out of an agreement to send its high school students to Manchester schools.
In his letter, Brennan said it is the Hooksett School District that is in breach of contract, not Manchester.
Under the agreement between the two school districts, Brennan wrote, Hooksett is supposed to send all public high school students to Manchester except the "few" who petition to attend another school.
However, he said, nearly a third of Hooksett eighth-graders have been granted approval to attend other schools next year.
Earlier this month, the Hooksett School Board rejected a proposal from Manchester to cap class sizes at 30 and cancel most classes with fewer than 15 students, enrolling those students instead in on-line courses.
Hooksett board members and parents voiced concern that would slash Advanced Placement courses and other classes required for seniors to graduate.
In Friday's letter, Brennan wrote, "The Manchester Board of School Committee is disappointed with the manner in which the Hooksett School Board has forced our century-old relationship to reach this level of dispute."
Asked to comment, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said, "The letter speaks for itself."
Gatsas said Hooksett taxpayers could find themselves paying twice for their children's education. "If they do pay tuition to other schools, I think they're still going to be liable to pay tuition to us," he said.
Gatsas also said other school districts may be complicit in violating the Manchester-Hooksett contract. "The school districts that are courting them need to be careful that they're not interfering with our contract," he said. "If the Hooksett School District would like to remove their letter saying we're in breach, I think we'd like to have a conversation on how to maintain our 100-year relationship."

Before you return it, do some testing on tripod in good light to see if the lens is the problem. It would be even better if remote shutter release is used.
this. when i first got my 85 II, i shot a casual event with it shooting wide open the entire night.
when i got home, i previewed the images on a screen and found all of it to be hopelessly out of focus.
propped it onto a tripod and ran it through a battery of tests with MLU on center point - turns out i sucked shooting @ 1.2
i installed a focussing screen that helps make things snappier at larger apertures and makes manually focussing possible with such extreme apertures as well. manual focus is still tricky, but now possible.

when one iron isnt quite enough
My target times had changed throughout the training period and I know that people say that everyone feels like they have never put in enough training, I really didn't. February and March mainly consisted of intervals geared towards a 10k PB – im such an idiot, I didn't get the PB and I let my main focus slip. My biking was kind of Okish but never did back to back long rides. I trained at night with a few long ones, my longest bike was only 130 miles, my longest run wasn't more than 18 miles and a considerable time before the event. I wanted to go sub 30 to begin with then realised that I was asking too much so I came up with the time of 34 hours. This was an honest target. I know that KK has been blasted for her thoughts on long slow ultra events and to be honest im with her on it. While its great to finish an ironman or ultra, if you are just scrapping through on a single you shouldn't be trying a double so my 34 hour self imposed target time came about by just doubling the single ironman time. Of course I would have been happy with 36 hours, I would have been pleased with a finish, but to have finished within double the time of a single was my aim and I got a close 33:52:18, it's a good job I didn't need a shit is all I can say ???
Like many have said before me, the folks who organise, race and support this event make it a truly remarkable event. I'll probably be back next year for something, nothing too long like everyone expects. I cant afford the time to train or the time off work. I don't want to spend longer than 17 hours in the saddle in one go, its not me, I know I could do the triple, do I need to prove it? Not really, its just not a big enough pay off. Next year I may do the hundred miler, £50 for 2 days is a bargain. If I go
longer at enduroman it may be the quin or more likely the Deca, but only if it is on the 10 x 1 format. I believe that the 10x1 deca is very achievable to me, just not next year unless I want to be single, which leads me on to the thank yous
To my other half who puts up with more bullshit than any partner really should and to my kids for not making me feel too guilty about not taking them out as much as I should have done this year
To Seren and Mon for advice and right words at right times and to all on facebook and forums who wished me well.
Just as a little post script for those that don't do the facebook thing I just completed my first 100 mile continuous run across the South Downs Way in sub 24 hours ( 23:22 ) this is a qualifying race for the UTMB and gives me 4 points towards qualification. It was a hard slog with 12,700ft of ascent. im sure ill be able to find a race next year to give me a few more points to complete the criteria
Awesome mate, see you Saturday
Great race report DK and a big pat on the back!
Excellant report DK, and a massive well done again
Brilliant report Doner, you've obviously got a knack for the ultra stuff. Very well done
well done DK....it was great to see you looking so good on that run.......great performance and recovery......
great report DK. Well done.
I can't wait till next year's race.
You going for the single then Soupy?
Im tempted at the moment Lee - but I say every year that I'm going to do a full IM then chicken out as the time approaches and I've not fitted the training in.
Soupy if you enter an IM then you will do the training I hear a couple of pirates are doing Nice next year....
But you know with training and a good support crew at AT you could so do it.......won't be hot and such a big event as Nice......but you know that you could do it as its just one more lap
MG - I've entered 2 IM races and not done them, had to apply for a refund on first and downgrading to the half at Henley.
Seren - yes I do believe I can do the full at AT. I just have to discipline myself to get some long rides in. I think I'm going to go for it - 3rd time luck and all that. Then I can work towards a bigger IM with harder cut-offs the year after.

Yay Soupy!!! I'm signing up for the half when entries open. We can chivvy each other along training wise, and you could always come stay at mine some time and we can head over to AT area to do some training on the bike course
Soupy thats more like it. Have a bit of confidence in yourself!! Don't let Braggers lane get to you or Burley or horses on the course. Lets face it Burley is busy but its only a few hundred yards long, you'll never lose much time to worry about.
My longest bike leading up last year was 70 miles but I am from a bike background a few years ago. Just don't overcook it. The run will take care of itself. You know the course now so get your strategy right of easy and hard. Take encouragement from the crowd and don't stop smiling. It helps!!
Doner. Great report fella, enjoyed reading that one. Well done

Two people are behind bars for allegedly cooking meth in the back of a truck in Hempstead County, Arkansas.
Deputies say just after 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, they were called out to Highway 29 North near Hempstead 251 where a Ford F-150 truck was stuck in a pasture. Deputies say the truck was abandoned on the property which belongs to Thomas Burke. The deputy also noticed women's clothing in the truck.
A neighbor who called deputies says a man knocked on his door asking for help to get his truck out of the pasture. The neighbor told deputies when he left to get the man help and returned, the man was gone.
Deputies searched a nearby barn and found three more bags of women's clothing along with a 32 oz. plastic bottle that was identified as an active meth lab. The meth lab and the truck were taken by authorities. Deputies learned 58-year-old Barry Richardson had been in possession of the truck. They also discovered that Richardson had several drug charges out of Texas involving meth.
When deputies returned to the area Wednesday morning, they say a man and a woman walking out of a wooded area. They determined the man was Richardson and took both of them into custody. Deputies say they found a 9mm handgun on Richardson. The woman was identified as 46-year-old Ursula Schlemmer.
Both were taken to the Hempstead County Detention Center and charged with making meth, drug possession and felony possession of a gun. The two also face burglary and theft charges. Deputies say the duo may have been involved in other thefts in Hempstead County.

Many entered but only one would win the prize. With the launch of The Lodestar Store.com, visitors to the site could register for a drawing for one free Columbus McKinnon Lodestar chain hoist. And the winner is Tara Denise of Harpo Studios! Tara is Lighting Director for The Oprah Winfrey Show. She's worked at Harpo Studios for 11 years. She says her favorite part of her job working on one of the most popular talk shows is the "sheer craziness of it all."
When she received the call, notifying her that she is the lucky winner, her first response was to burst out into an impromptu song, "I won a chain motor! I won a chain motor!" The timing couldn't be better. The new motor will come in handy for a new set being built for the show.
The Lodestar Store.com is a web-store created just for Columbus McKinnon Lodestar Chain Hoists and the thousands of parts and accessories for them – all just a mouse click away. The Lodestar Store.com offers Next Day Service and Live Representatives to answer all customer questions, plus an extensive database of answers for troubleshooting questions.

text: On July 21, 2008 five intrepid sailors set sail on the uncharted waters of Vancouver's Coal Harbour. Their names were Alice, Carol, Pat, Lynn, and Larry. Missing were Bill and Dianne, who had fought bravely but perished so the others could escape. After being joined by the sixth member of their little band, Keith, they boarded the MV Harbour Princess and sailed east on Burrard Inlet and then into the dark and mysterious waters of Indian Arm. Along the way they passed Stanley Park and the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. They slipped quietly past the towers of Vancouver high-rises and fancy restaurants on the waterfront. Past million-dollar luxury yachts. Slipping quickly through the rip tide under the Second Narrows bridge, they sailed gallantly by Belcarra and Deep Cove. They feasted on chicken and salmon as they marvelled at the beautiful scenery of the INDIAN ARM LUNCHEON CRUISE!
