Eagles DT Mike Patterson, who suffered a seizure at training camp on Wednesday, has a brain condition called arteiovenous malformation (AVM).
Team trainer Rick Burkholder said the condition is due to a tangle of blood vessels outside Patterson's brain.
According to the team's Twitter, Burkholder said that it is "foolish to speculate as to if he'll play football this year, next year … We don't know."
Patterson's seizure lasted four minutes and he was alert and stable at the hospital. "Patterson is in good spirits," Burkholder said, Thursday, adding that Patterson was worried more about "low DT numbers."
Patterson, 27, is on medication to prevent another seizure.
The six-year NFL veteran recorded 37 tackles and two sacks in 15 games last season.

Outside is an American magazine focused on the outdoors. The first issue was published in September 1977. Its mission statement is:
The mission of Outside magazine is to inspire participation in the world outside through award-winning coverage of the sports, people, places,
adventures, discoveries, environmental issues, health and fitness, gear and apparel, trends, and events that define the active lifestyle.
Its founders were Jann Wenner (the first editor in chief), William Randolph Hearst III (its first managing editor), and Jack Ford (an assistant to founding publisher Donald Welsh and a son of former U.S. President Gerald Ford).[2] Wenner sold the magazine to current owner Lawrence J. Burke two years later.[3]
Outside launched the career of Jon Krakauer, Sebastian Junger, and other freelance travel and adventure writers. Though the magazine has tilted toward a more commercial aesthetic in recent years, it has recruited figures from the literary world for freelance assignments. Writers whose work has appeared in Outside include Bob Shacochis, E. Annie Proulx, Daniel Coyle, Bruce Barcott, and Tim Cahill as well as naturalist and author David Quammen. Songwriter David Berkeley also worked for Outside. Christopher Keyes is the current editor.
Effective June 1, 2010, its owner Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Mariah Media launched Outside Television in partnership with Resorts Sports Network, which was rebranded Outside Television.[4]

(WMC-TV) - The Memphis Zoo is mourning the loss of Julie the hippopotamus. The 51-year-old hippo was euthanized Saturday after zoo keepers noticed her health dramatically decline over the past month.
Julie the hippopotamus was born at the Memphis Zoo in July 1961. In her 51 years, she had 10 calves, including a set of twins who became well known around Memphis as "Splish" and "Splash".
"Julie was able to take care of herself," said Memphis Zoo Assistant Curator Houston Winbigler. "She never tolerated too much roughness from her mate. She was, indeed, a remarkable mother and took admirable care of all of her babies including the twins, Splish and Splash."
Several of Julie's caretakers at the zoo are sad to learn of her passing.
"During my zoo career I've had the fortune to work with four hippos," said Herb Roberts, Memphis Zoo curator. "Julie by far had the best temperament. She was calm, reliable and easy to work with. She enjoyed spending time with her keepers as well as her daughter Splish. I think she considered them all part of her herd. I know she was part of my herd, and I will miss her greatly."
"Julie has been one of the zoo favorites," said Gail Karr, Memphis Zoo Assistant Curator. "I have been at the Memphis Zoo 27 years. In a way, I grew up with her. She has been a figurehead, and it will be hard to imagine her not here."
"It was a privilege getting to work with Julie and a great experience as a keeper," said Sara Taylor, Memphis Zoo keeper. "She was feisty until the end. She will definitely be missed by my co-worker, Dena Mandino and me, but most importantly by her sassy daughter, Splish. We hope our Julie has gone to a new swimming hole and is busy frolicking with the Memphis Zoo hippos that went before her."
"She was a great animal with an engaging personality and has aged gracefully. She will be missed, but her line and that of the original Memphis Zoo hippos will hopefully be continued through Splish," agreed Carol Hesch, Memphis Zoo assistant curator.
Julie was preceded in death by her mate, Ubei, who died from arthritis-related problems in 1995.
"We hope our Julie has gone to a new swimming hole and is busy frolicking with the Memphis Zoo hippos that went before her," added zoo keeper Sara Taylor.
The Memphis Zoo will work with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to acquire a new companion for Splish at the zoo's hippo exhibit.

Home brewing advocates in Alabama are not happy with state lawmakers.
They say legislators are dragging their feet on two home brewing bills.
Both passed through committee, and both are waiting on a vote.
Meanwhile, Mississippi passed a similar bill, and the governor has promised to sign it.
Proponents say that puts Alabama in last place when it comes to home brewing.
They are urging supporters to email state representatives and senators to get things moving.

SAO PAULO (AP) -- Nicolas Almagro of Spain extended the defense of his Brazil Open title to the quarterfinals by defeating Victor Hanescu of Romania 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-3 Thursday.
Almagro, the top seed, didn't allow a single break point to Hanescu in his victory at the Ibirapuera sporting complex. He had 12 aces and only one double fault in the second-round match that lasted more than two hours.
The 11th-ranked Almagro needed a wild card to defend his title because he initially wasn't certain if he would make the tournament because of his Davis Cup duties with Spain. He also won the Brazil Open in 2008.

Saturday 07.07.12 - 19:00 - Odeon
Neither Portishead nor Radiohead can make the Brits dance like the sound of Bellowhead.
The quintessentially English 11-man band has taken the traditional folk music of their motherland and applied a massive touch, which has resulted in Bellowhead being awarded best live band as many as five times at the BBC Folk Awards.
With brass, fiddle, accordion and lute, the atmosphere of old pipe-smoking England is spread instantly. However, the anarchistic virtuoso musicians readily draw on jazz, funk, and marching bands as well.
Bellowhead has played during the intro on The Simpsons, developed their own type of ale and visited Roskilde Festival back in 2006. Now it's again time to dust off the tweed jacket and shine the dancing shoes.

NEW YORK — It's good to be back on the Sox watch for a few days here in the Bronx. I missed the circus in Baltimore and my skull's been imploding as I read and hear the ridiculous spin from the Red Sox front office.
Baghdad Bobs of Boston have been spreading the message that the Palace Revolt (the "fire Bobby" meeting was actually at the Palace Hotel, which is just too good, even by Sox standards) of July was no big deal. It was one of Larry Lucchino's famed "round table'' meetings.

It's something you often see in European architecture... along the edges of a piazza in Italy, for example. Instead of a modern open sidewalk that runs between a building and the street, you have a walkway that's covered by the building, but with open archways. The arches can be romanesque or Islamic, depending on the building's style. But the point is that it's open-air while still being enclosed by the building itself.
Does anyone know what this type of area is called?
Thanks in advance.

Nearing 87 years old, Yuri Kochiyama lives in a small room in an
Nearing 87 years old, Yuri Kochiyama lives in a small room in an
February marks a coincidence of anniversaries in Kochiyama's incredible life: 66 years ago, on Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the mass internment of Japanese-Americans. Then there is Feb. 21, 1965, the day Malcolm X was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in
Kochiyama was a young woman living with her parents in
"[The FBI agents] said, 'Is there a Seichi Nakahara living here?' I said, 'He just came home from ulcer surgery.' And they went in and got him—it was done so quickly, it didn't even take a half of a minute, I don't think. And I didn't dare ask a question. They were going out the door immediately. And then, I just called my mother, who was right down the street to say, 'Come home quick. The FBI just came and took Pop.' "
He was taken to the
He was released six weeks later, returned home in a state of extreme illness. Kochiyama recalls: "He came home, it was around dinnertime, 5:30. And they had a nurse come with him. And by the next morning, she woke us up and said, 'He's gone.' " Her father had died.
Yuri and the rest of her family were rounded up and sent to Rohwer Camp in
Yuri was a changed woman. Her experience made her aware of the lack of justice suffered not only by Asian-Americans, but by African-Americans and Latinos as well. She met Malcolm X in 1963. They became friends and allies. He sent her postcards from his transformative trip to
She ran up onto the stage: "Malcolm had fallen straight back, and he was on his back. And so I just went there and picked up his head and just put it on my lap. People ask, 'What did he say?' He didn't say anything. He was just having a difficult time breathing. I said, 'Please, Malcolm, please, Malcolm, stay alive.' But he was hit so many times."
Malcolm X's assassination propelled Kochiyama further into a life committed to the struggle for social justice, human rights, racial equality and prisoner rights. She is a staunch supporter of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has lived on death row in
As the Bush administration asserts its authority to detain "enemy combatants" without charge, and zealots in Congress hatch plans to round up 12 million people accused of being "illegal aliens" (100 times the number of Japanese-Americans interned), we all have timely lessons to learn from Yuri Kochiyama.

Detroit � If this really was a World Series preview, well �
Actually, strike that.
We won�t know for several months if this was any sort of sneak peek, nor were these two games any barometer of how a Tigers-Dodgers Fall Classic might even shake out.
After all, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez figure to be in any lineup Brad Ausmus posts in October.
But neither played Wednesday, and, it didn�t do a thing to slow the Tigers, who jumped all over Zack Greinke early en route to a 4-1 victory Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.
�I believe the other guys can step up,� said winning pitcher Max Scherzer (11-3), surely in All-Star form ahead of his second trip to the All-Star Game. �I believe that everybody in this clubhouse, all 25 guys, when they get their number called, that they�re gonna respond.�
From Austin Jackson to Joe Nathan, and everywhere in between, the Tigers got contributions. On offense. On defense. On the bases. And, of course, on the mound.
Sure, it might not have been the unhittable Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers on Wednesday. But if Greinke is a slouch, he�s a slouch to Kershaw only. Didn�t matter.
You name it, the Tigers did it � for the second consecutive day, to complete a two-game sweep over the National League powerhouse. With that, the Tigers became the sixth major-league ballclub to win 50 games, and in their 87th game, it�s the fastest they�ve gotten there since 2007.
That�s despite a fascinating rollercoaster first half for the Tigers, who�ve been really good for two long stretches, really bad for one � and had actually dropped three of four games to the Rays before the Dodgers came calling.
�Guys, we play 162 games,� Scherzer said, with the tone of a school teacher � all he was missing were the eye glasses down to the bridge of his nose. �You�re going to get on streaks.
�I don�t get caught up in whether we�re playing well or we�re not playing well,� Scherzer said. �I know that the next day, we have a starter who can go out there and give us a chance to win and we have a lineup that can produce some runs. Every single day, I think we can win.�
After falling behind 5-0 to the Dodgers in the first inning Tuesday night, the Tigers absolutely owned this highly hyped series, outscoring the opposition 18-1 over the next 17 innings.
Sure, the pitching was mostly outstanding after Justin Verlander�s rocky first. But they got help, too � right off the bat Wednesday. Yasiel Puig laced a one-out triple, but Hanley Ramirez followed with a shot to shortstop Eugenio Suarez. The rookie, rather than take the easy out to first, showed great instincts in catching Puig too far off third base for an out. A batter later, left fielder Rajai Davis made a fine running catch on an Adrian Gonzalez sinking flyball to end the inning.
After that, the Tigers offense picked right back up where it left off in Tuesday�s scoreboard explosion. Jackson, enjoying his return to leadoff, starting things with a triple, and quickly scoring on Ian Kinsler�s single to left. A wild pitch and two strikeouts later, Don Kelly � batting in the fifth spot again, to the dismay of Tigers fans � laced a two-out single off Greinke, for Kelly�s first RBI since May 22.
Kelly added a single during a fourth-inning rally � and later, just for good measure, was intentionally walked for the second time in his career, and second time in as many seasons. The move by Don Mattingly actually worked, but was a head-scratcher.
�Not saying I�m getting used to it,� Kelly said, laughing. �But I�ll take them.�
The Tigers strung three consecutive singles together to lead off the fourth inning, by J.D. Martinez and Kelly followed by Nick Castellanos� RBI knock. That gave the Tigers three runs, marking just the fifth time in 19 starts this season Greinke (11-5) has even allowed three runs in a start.
Not that Greinke pitched poorly. Like Scherzer, he also went seven, and struck out eight to no walks.
The Tigers, though, tacked on insurance in the eighth. Jackson sparked things again with a leadoff double off Brandon League, and later scored on Torii Hunter�s sacrifice fly.
That was more than enough for Scherzer, who threw seven mostly low-stress innings � although he worked around the Puig triple in the first and a Puig leadoff double in the sixth. (The latter scenario, he got big help from an Alex Avila block on a ball in the dirt.) The only run allowed was the first career home run by Miguel Rojas. Scherzer gave up just four hits to this lethal Dodgers lineup, half to Puig. He struck out seven, while walking two � leadoff walks that proved no harm.
Scherzer, at 101 pitches, told Ausmus he could�ve gone one more inning, but Ausmus saw an opportunity to get Joba Chamberlain and closer Joe Nathan some meaningful work � and took it. Each reliever was dynamite, each with two strikeouts in a perfect inning � Nathan�s earning him the 18th save, much to the delight of a crowd of 36,462 which serenaded him with a �Let�s Go Joe� chant.
So go ahead, pick a Tiger, any Tiger � odds are, they did the job Wednesday, as the Tigers wore smiles heading to Kansas City for the final four games before the All-Star break.
Just don�t pick Cabrera, who had his first break this season, or Martinez, who remains out of the lineup with a side injury. They didn�t play, nor did it matter.
�Obviously we have some great players, but it�s gonna be big for Miggy to get days like that, to get him rest, to make sure he�s fresh,� said Chamberlain, whose ERA dipped down a bit to 2.78. �It�s nice for guys to step up.
�Twenty-five guys it�s gonna take to win this thing.�

My first movie was The Hole Story. I hadn't done any short films, and I didn't go to film school, so I kind of dove into it. I guess that's one of the reasons it took me years to make. We shot in Minnesota for nine days, and then I spent three years EDITING IT IN MY PARENTS' BASEMENT IN NEWTON.
I met Lena [Dunham, creator and star of Girls ] at South by Southwest in 2009. She was there with her first film; I was there with my third. We spent only five or 10 minutes talking, but I liked her a lot. I was also marveling that A 22-YEAR-OLD KID HAD A FEATURE FILM AT A MAJOR FESTIVAL. We got each others' e-mail addresses and did some DVD swaps: I showed her some of my stuff and she showed me hers. We started hanging out in New York, and then she wrote a part for me in [her film] Tiny Furniture.

How strict are the work hours?
Thanks again.]]>
we will pay him high salary.
plz send me message on
I read it today. This happens to me "MANY" times. This is because of the enthusiasm you possessing to learn more. It happened to me even for my last company(Currently I am working Self). What I learned is that , for the life you need money .For that you have to work (Most employers only bothered about the "BUSINESS" not bothered about employee or his interest).If you have enough money resign the job and do work for you (and learn what you want to learn. Now Google is there you can learn any new technology if you are willing to learn).
Good Luck !

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Activities will be held throughout South Georgia in order to raise awareness about the disease.
The leader of the free world kicked off the celebration by changing the color of his current residence. Get ready to see a lot of pink this month.
The White House was turned into the pink house to celebrate the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. President Obama encourages all Americans to join in on the fight against Breast Cancer.
Experts say a mammogram is the best way to fight Breast Cancer. According to the CDC, regular mammogram are the best way to detect the early stages of Breast Cancer.
The CDC guidelines say women ages 50-74 should have a mammogram every two years. If your family has a history of Breast Cancer, you're doctor may want you to start earlier.
Always talk to your doctor and let them know if you see or feel any lumps in your breasts. In 2011, more than 200,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer according to the American Cancer Society.

a: This was a cloudy, pale golden color. It was served to me with an, airy looking, uneven white head.
s: A wonderful blast of prickly grapefruit rind is what I noticed first. I also found some tart lemons, hints of clove, and something else earthy I couldn't quite put my finger on. I wasn't able to discern any honey.
t: I wouldn't have thought a witbier base would lend itself so well to a hop showcase, but it works extremely well here. Its a mild tingle at first, but it quickly turns into an unbelievably fresh tasting citric blast that lasts well into the finish. Towards the end some wheaty lemon and a hint of clove emerged. As I got to the bottom of my mug, the hops seemed to fade a bit while the cloves became more prominent. As akorsak noted, this was a very good burper beer.
m: I'm surprised cask conditioning worked so well for a wit. The carbonation was gentle for a wit, but strong for a cask offering.
o: A very, very pleasant surprise. Taking a traditional style with fairly rigid (in my mind) guidelines and just throwing a bunch of cascade hops at it could be dangerous. This was handled deftly though, making it a joy to drink. I didn't quite enjoy the last 5 ounces as much as the fist 15, but I really hope to see this one again.

Served from a cask at Iron Hill Lancaster, a Belgian Wit primed with orange blossom honey and dry hopped with citrusy American hops (cascade).
A: The ale is hazy and pale, the lighter golden color is wit-appropriate. The cask generates only a thin head, although strata of lace are left behind in my glass.
S: The nose is fresh, vibrant with citrusy hops. The aroma combines spicy witbier aspects with those fresh, grassy hops. A wonderful sniffer, the hops go quite well with the softer yeast and spice aspects. A resounding sweetness reminds me of the honey's presence.
T: First sip: blown away. A mild hop bitterness is an omen of things to come. As the first wave of citrusy hops fade, the witbier steps up and carries the ale. Lemony tart wheat is present although the other witbier flavors tend to get lost. The orange blossom honey adds bulk and just a bit of sweetness to the ale, blending in between the hops and wheat. The hops come back, a big finish. The taste is sweet, heavy on citrusy grapefruit. That finish makes the ale, a big finish to an already enjoyable beer. The preponderance of cascade hops makes all the difference, a bite that never gets out of hand even amongst the subtler flavors of the witbier.
M: The lightness of the ale, driven by wheat, is airy and tart, an interesting counterpoint to the grasy grapefruit hops. The dry-hopping does wonders on the nose and peps up the start and finish of each sip. Even my burps are pleasant.
O: Wonderful on cask. I hope that I see this one in the regular rotation soon. A winner.

From MP's sister site: MTB Project
The Dump recieves lots of sun, making it a great winter destination. It also has probably the best concentration of sport routes in the NC High Country. That being said, you may find lots of people here. They'll probably be concentrated on a small handful of routes, though. The metamorphic sandstone lends itself to nice edges, pockets, and other faceholds. There's a good mix of steep and slabby routes at a variety of difficulties.
Getting There
The Dump is roadside off of Highway 221 between Blowing Rock and Linville. Coming from Blowing Rock, look for a large dirt parking lot on the left just past the Avery/Caldwell county line sign. Leave your car and hike up the obvious trail to the cliff (about 2 minutes).

Friends and family would describe John Schintzel as a hard worker who was full of life, but at 51-years-old, John lost his life to the West Nile Virus.
"I couldn't believe it, I mean here's a guy that was in the best shape out of all of us from college, I mean he was rowing marathons. He was probably one of the best rowers to come out of the University of Charleston," his college friend John Bancheri said.
This case is rare because health officials say West Nile patients typically aren't very active.
"People that have heart disease or diabetes or adrenal disease, so generally folks that are generally older are going to be at greater risk," Disease surveillance nurse Kate Lange said.
Right now in this region, which includes Filmore, Gage, Jefferson, Saline and Thayer counties, there are four confirmed cases of West Nile and four probable cases.
September is considered the peak of West Nile season which is right when John started feeling sick.
To continue his legacy as a dedicated rower, his wife set up the John Schintzel Memorial Fund. All contributions will go to the Grand Valley Rowing Club and their equipment, so a part of John will continue to live on through the sport.
"If you've ever rowed, everyone wants a boat named after them, so he'll stay in the sport of rowing," Bancheri said.
The Public Health Department advises anyone who thinks they might have West Nile to see a doctor immediately.

Petzl Tikka 2
4-star: 1
3-star: 2
2-star: 0

It is a decent camp light. It has good water resistance.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $40
It is a decent camp light. It has good water resistance. The battery life on low is good. The lamp has been reliable.
- Water resistance
- Good battery life
- Straightforward to use
- Lightweight
- Only two light settings
- Light output is barely adequate for night hiking
- Cannot control wide or narrow beam
- Light "leaks" on bottom with the clear housing
I bought this lamp to replace the Tikka offered from about 3 years ago. That lamp was, um, permanently borrowed when I was overseas.
I was really happy with the model this design replaced, and from the other reviews I read, this model seemed to be a decent lamp.
Maybe because the other lamp was so amazing, I was spoiled, but I just haven't been nearly as satisfied with this as its replacement.
The range of working light on high is probably about 40 feet. But the light is pretty diffused. If I didn't have decent night vision, I would struggle with the throw and intensity of the light. I found myself getting very frustrated that I was not able to change the setting from diffused to beam, much more than I was expecting that I would.
Another frustration is this version's shroud is translucent under the actual lightbulb, and light "leaks" into my eyes when the headlamp is squared on my forehead. In order to stop that, and not have itaffect my night vision, I have to push the headlamp up farther on my head, and then it wants to slide off the top my head.
The lamp came with batteries, and I have not had to change the batteries yet. That is one of the great things about his light. It sips the juice, especially on the low setting, which is what I tend to use when I at camp to conserve the battery life.
The batteries are easy enough to change. Just watch the flanges to not pry too hard.
The design shucks water fine. I have not had any issues with moisture.
The button is pretty straightforward. It cycles through the settings fine, and it does turn on in the same mode it was last turned off.
The red mode seems bright enough to use at night, but I find I just tend to use the low white light setting. I find that I would rather have a mid white setting than a strobe setting. Realistically, I doubt I will ever use the strobe setting. The need seems to be pretty limited.
One of the primary reasons I bought the Tikka is because of Petzl's reputation. I have been quite happy with physical durability of their products. This headlamp seems to represent that durability.
I used this headlamp for all of my backpacking last season. I did some night hiking, and lots of camp duties at night.
In my experience, it is barely adequate for night hiking. At 70 lumens, and its diffused design, I can use it on the trail hiking, but I sure wouldn't use it for running trail. It makes an adequate camp light, and its dim setting is fine for tent reading. I am sure that the strobe setting would be fine for biking or emergency beaconing.
If I had it to do over again, I would not go with this lamp.
I have no good, clear images of my personal use, but I am including some pictures that feature the lamp in its look, use, and design:
I am somewhat confused here a bit. You have pics of different headlamps. The Tikka 2 is a 4 LED lamp as shown in the manufacturer's photo at the top of the page. I cannot see the LED count on the 1st bottom photo(green) but I know the next 2 photos are of the previous gen Tikka Plus 2(50 lumen which I own,) and the last photo is that of a XP variation(see diffuser/clear tab protruding on front of lamp face.)

Price Paid: Gift
Got this as a Christmas present in 09. It replaces a Princeton Tec light which was cracked open by my 2 yr old daughter. Light is powerful. Cons only high/low setting. Good light for the $$$.
Had the standard energizer lamp before I bought this.

Had the standard energizer lamp before I bought this. WOW! What a difference. Covers the perfect amount of area/depth and is brighter than expected. Incredibly light and comfortable.

Pros: 1. Food. Everyone I spoke to complained about the buffet and the main dining areas. While I sorta agree with the buffet being a tad "meh," the main dining areas were AMAZING. The food was fresh, beautifully prepared and even though we opted for anytime dining, we kept asking for the same server and bartender/sommelier, who were both pretty awesome. I loved how Carnival offered a "Ever wanted to these?" portion of the menu and I managed to sample alligator! Delish! Oh, and unlimited ice tea, lemonade, tea and coffee? Yes, please. I really almost managed to wean myself off Diet Coke over the weekend, thanks to their beverage selection. My family and I also loved the Mongolian stir-fry station they had set up outside near the swimming pools.
2. Service. Again, see above re: dining staff. Most of the other Carnival staff members we met were professional and efficient as well, aside from 2 exceptions.
3. Amenities and entertainment. I personally loved their comedy acts and the Vegas-style performances (I think one was called "Shout!" or something along those lines? Not sure anymore). I couldn't get over how BIG the ship was and how much there was to see and do. We never set foot in the spa or fitness facilities the entire time we were on board.
Cons: 1. Crowds. Every main area of the boat was always packed and it did at times seem to be overrun with really loud and drunk people. However, there were plenty of quiet places to hide in, so this never really became a problem.
2. Ports and excursions. After reading multiple reviews of Carnival's land excursions, we decided to just wing it and ended up having a good time on our own.
3. Day 3's Day at Sea. This was my "Ack!" moment of the cruise, when the ship anchored out at sea for the entire day and bobbed on the waves. It was the only day during the cruise when I felt I might be sick, due to the constant motion of the waves. I tried looking out over the horizon as others had suggested - no use whatsoever. In the end, I learned that just always being on my feet and moving seemed to help, as well as chewing ginger candies and popping Dramamine.
All in all, a really great trip! I'd repeat this in heartbeat.

Laurentian Upland Province: Superior Upland
The core of the continent
Every continent has a core of very ancient metamorphic rocks. The Superior Upland Province is the southern extension of the Laurentian Upland Province, part of the nucleus of North America called Canadian Shield .
The oldest rocks
Records in the rocksThe structure of Superior Upland rock is quite complex. Folds and faults, most dating back to Precambrian time, record several episodes of mountain-building. The plate collisions that formed the core of our continent left behind a striking structural trend. Ridges and valleys are strongly aligned along this northeast-southwest trend. Lake Superior is a splendid example of this northeast-southwest structural trend. . Ridges of erosion-resistant rock rise above valleys and carved into weaker rock units.
Glaciers add the final touchThe effects of repeated glaciation have left their mark on the Superior Upland. The present glacial topography is the product of the most recent glaciation that ended just 10,000 years ago. During the Late Wisconsin, the last glaciation of the Pleistocene Epoch, a massive continental ice sheet grew first in the north, then gradually expanded southward. Several xxx-thick finger-like lobes of glacial ice engulfed the region as they moved through the Superior basin. Rocks of all sizes were plucked and scoured from farther north and carried along by the icy mass. When the continental ice sheets melt, they left behind an assortment of rock called glacial drift that covers much of the Superior Upland landscape.

'Time of healing' needed in school district
Original post made on Jun 28, 2007
Read the full story here Web Link
on Jun 28, 2007 at 11:32 pm
What about the other important item on the agenda last Tuesday, enrollment increase planning. That is also an important topic and I have heard nothing. Was it discussed? Were any decisions made?
on Jun 28, 2007 at 11:56 pm
Healing--as in, oh sh--, people are so pissed off about MI that they might vote against the next bond.
At least we'll be spared another self-righteous lecture about behavior from Ms. Callan.
I think the healing should begin with an extraction of a couple of school board members, followed by pathology reports on Callan's governance and just how hand-in-glove the school bureaucracy got with PACE.
Then maybe we could follow this up with a competent treatment plan where the board and the district actually, oh, comes up with some real solutions to the district's problems/
on Jun 28, 2007 at 11:56 pm
It's funny how we're told to "heal" on two fronts now -- upper level management & MI. And yet, the two seem to be one and the same in many respects.
My favorite quotes are from page 28 of the management study (aka "Organizational Development Project", found here Web Link):
Note: this was a study of the management team, ostensibly nothing to do with the other trauma facing the district right now.
"The Situation:"
"it seems that the relevance of the current strategic plan has diminished and it is not regularly used to guide planning and decision making"
"A majority [of management team survey respondents] were also concerned about how the Board preserves strategic priorities in the face of parental pressures."
"The Analysis:"
"A robust strategic plan requires a willingness to be constrained by the plan, which means saying "no" to some new demands in order to preserve the direction and momentum toward strategic goals."
Uh, yes. Isn't that what most of us have been saying all along?
Any chance the board will take *that* into advisement and re-consider (again) its flip-flop on MI? Nah ... who needs a strategic plan. Biggest check and best threat letter wins.
Yes, enrollment was discussed starting at 10pm, after dealing with mandatory budget approval and other business. No surprises there -- the board will wait until fall to see how enrollment is actually shaping up. The only motion made (and passed) was to not change any boundaries for now.

PEORIA Ill -- Fifty years ago, Bradley University's campus looked quite different.
Even the January weather was about 50 degrees colder.
It was shortly after 8 p.m. on January 12, 1963 when Ruth Jass, a Bradley University Registrar at the time, heard the news that would change BU history forever.
"I got a phone call from the President and he said, 'Ruth, can you come? Bradley Hall is on fire and if you hurry we may be able to save some stuff from your office.' Well, I was here in ten minutes, and my office was completely engulfed," said Jass.
A fire destroyed Bradley Hall and everything in it.
"Part of the problem was all of our documentation went up in flames. We didn't know what classes were held in Bradley Hall at the time, but it was our job to re-establish them," said Jass.
Max and Ardith Wessler witnessed the blaze from their house, which is now where Morgan Hall is located.
"There was just a ton of smoke and flames coming out of there. And the trucks were just arriving.We watched, and hundreds of people gathered up and down the streets and around the building," said Max Wessler.
By morning, Bradley Hall was covered with ice, frozen from firefighters' hose water.
Witnesses called it a ghostly scene.
"It was incredible because of all the ice that accumulated. Thick ice, not just a little bit but it was thick all over the buildings and all over the ground," said Ardith Wessler.
Luckily, the university was able to restore records within five years through back-up micro-film, and Bradley Hall re-opened, completely renovated inside.
The outside is still almost identical to the 1963 building. Even the walls contain some of the original limestone.
With the fire in Bradley's past, those who experienced it first-hand say they can only look back and think of how it made the university stronger.
