|Association of Marquette University Women Chair in Humanistic Studies Committee
|Selection Committee for Rev. Francis C. Wade, S.J., Chair
|Committee on University Honors
The Committee on University Honors is an advisory body that generates, discusses, and reviews nominations regarding honorary degrees and provides counsel to the Provost and President. Honorary degrees must be approved by the Board of Trustees.
Each year the committee should invite all members of the Marquette community (faculty, students, and staff) to submit nominations for honorary degrees in three categories:
A goal for the committee is to recommend at least three candidates in each of the three categories listed above to the Provost and President for their consideration. The committee does not simply react to nominations received; the committee generates nominations in addition to discussing nominations received from the Marquette community. In order to accomplish this, the committee will need to meet several times throughout the year.
From time to time the President or Provost may ask the committee to provide recommendations regarding nominees that he/she would like to bring to the Board of Trustees. These nominees may be time sensitive and may require the committee to meet either in person or electronically with short notice.In undertaking its work the committee should be mindful that Marquette University does not discriminate in any manner contrary to law or justice on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, veteran's status, or national origin.
In all cases there should be an appropriateness of the nominees to the mission of Marquette. Since honorary degrees are not awarded in absentia or posthumously, it is also helpful to know that if an invitation is offered, this nominee will be likely to accept. Nominees who are alumni/alumnae of Marquette and/or have a connection to Marquette are more likely to be awarded an honorary degree. In undertaking its work the committee should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. To put it another way, all human beings have flaws, and members of the committee should appreciate the realities of the human condition.
The committee shall be comprised of:

---- — DERRY — The first charter school in town is getting closer to opening day.
The Next Charter School will open its doors in August, bringing a new, personalized way of educating high school students to Derry.
School co-directors Justin Krieger and Joe Crawford provided updates to the School Board recently, both saying they were excited and looking forward to what Next would offer students in an alternative high school setting.
The first class is filled with 30 students chosen in a lottery from 52 applicants.
The school will be located in the former Derry Early Education Program space at Gilbert H. Hood Middle School.
Charter schools are public institutions operating under a board of trustees. The schools offer a nontraditional education for students who may need an alternative for their high school years.
Krieger and Crawford, both middle school assistant principals in the Derry district, first presented the charter school plan to the public last year. Residents then cast ballots in a nonbinding vote and supported the charter school plan.
The two will lead the school with a staff including two teachers, an administrative assistant and two other positions that will be filled through one-year AmeriCorps positions.
Students making up that first Next class spoke to the School Board about their experiences and what they were looking forward to as a member of the Next family. One of those, Molly Anderson, said she wasn't successful in her present school environment.
Molly currently attends Gilbert H. Hood Middle School and said she is looking forward to the individual attention. She said Next would be a better fit.
"One of the main reasons I want to go to Next is that I have Asperger's Syndrome," she said. "I don't like crowded areas and I can't focus."
Kriefer said Next will personalize the educational journey for students like Molly — those needing a different approach to learning other than the traditional route.
"Students will carve out their own paths to high school graduation," he said.
School Board Chairman Brenda Willis said she was excited to see the Next school finally ready to open and thanked both Kreiger and Crawford for their hard work.
"You guys have been amazing," she said. "I knew from the start you would be successful. I've seen the growth in you and also the growth of the students. I can't wait until your first graduating class."

San Jose sues Major League Baseball over stalling in Oakland A's bid to move there

As unfair as I think MLB is being to San Jose, I have to step back and remind myself that MLB is a private business. There's no difference between MLB denying San Jose a team because of the proximity of the Giants, and McDonald's Corp. denying a franchise for a new location because it deems it too close to another. We may all "feel" ownership of one MLB team or another, but the fact is that it's somebody else's business, and those owners are free to run it as the see fit. Into the ground, perhaps, but it's their choice. Now shame on MLB for hiding behind the antitrust agreement, but more shame on Congress for granting it in the first place.
on Jun 19, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Is it *really* someone else's business when the taxpayers subsidize hundreds of millions? Maybe we should demand voting privileges in exchange for our investment.
on Jun 19, 2013 at 8:26 pm
Let's not lose sight of the fact that the nearly-bankrupt City of San Jose is suing a private enterprise owned by billionaires for the right to build a highly subsidized baseball stadium for one of those billionaires. There's so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin.

Here are excerpts from recent editorials in Arkansas newspapers:
Texarkana Gazette, Aug. 5
After 50 years and $20 trillion, grand plan to eradicate poverty in U.S. is a failure
In January of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood before Congress for the annual State of the Union address and declared a "War on Poverty."
Johnson had a plan to do just that and it involved providing government assistance so poor Americans would have the opportunity to become self-sufficient.
"Our chief weapons in a more pinpointed attack will be better schools, and better health, and better homes, and better training, and better job opportunities to help more Americans, especially young Americans, escape from squalor and misery and unemployment rolls where other citizens help to carry them. Very often a lack of jobs and money is not the cause of poverty, but the symptom. The cause may lie deeper in our failure to give our fellow citizens a fair chance to develop their own capacities, in a lack of education and training, in a lack of medical care and housing, in a lack of decent communities in which to live and bring up their children," he said.
How did that work out?
Well, as a recent op-ed by Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation points out, not too well.
Basically, Johnson's idealistic program has become a massive failure.
Over the past five decades, the War on Poverty has morphed into a mass of government handouts that has not led Americans to become more self-sufficient, but more dependent. The assistance has not given people a way out of their desperation, but instead set them up for failure and generational poverty.
Since 1964, the government has spent more than $20 trillion_yes, that's "trillion" with a "t''_to wage the War on Poverty. But the overall poverty is virtually unchanged since the war began.
In 2012 alone, the U.S. spent $916 billion on more than 80 programs designed to assist the poor. About 100 million Americans receives assistance from one or more of these programs, with an average benefit of $9,000 per year_and that doesn't include Social Security or Medicare..
Why has a decent idea turned into such an ineffective monster?
There are a few reasons. Bleeding hearts with good intentions_both back in 1964 and today_who can't or won't see the harm they are doing. The nature of government to expand and try to do too much. Politicians using government benefits to buy votes.
You cannot expect people to do anything to help themselves when the government tries to provide of their every need. It's just not going to happen.
The War on Poverty wasn't a bad idea in its original context. But the execution has been tragically wrong. It has created generations of wasted lives. It has destroyed whole communities.
It took a long time to get where we are. And it's going to take time to get out of this mess_that is, if anyone in Washington actually wants to do so.
We have seen the results of five decades of paternalism. Now it's time for some tough love.

Fort Smith Marathon Suits Historic City
If you're planning to participate, you better be training already. The first Fort Smith Marathon route has been set, and its date has been finalized. The Feb. 8 race is fewer than 200 days away.
The idea of a Fort Smith Marathon has been kicking around for a while, according to a report in Friday's Times Record, and it's a great one. Running 26 miles in a picturesque but oh-so-hilly city? That's going to be something to brag about for a long time. The route, which will start and end in historic downtown, is not for the faint of heart.
Patrick Pendleton, one of the race's organizers, said the race will have history, scenery and hills and will be organized around a "True Grit" theme in honor of the book and movies that reveal Fort Smith's history from the time it sat on the border between relative civilization and the Wild West.
"It's a heck of a course," Mr. Pendleton said. "It's scenic, it's got hills, it's got neighborhoods, it's got history, it's just got grit."
That's the same message you see on the FortSmithMarathon.com website: "Just like the colorful characters that got Fort Smith going: soldiers and settlers, cowboys and Indians, lawmen and outlaws, madams and nuns. . Sure it's February. Darn right the course is challenging. But we didn't earn the name 'Hell on the Border' for nothin' and they didn't hand out U.S. Marshal's badges to just anybody."
So, it's a challenging event for people who love a challenge. Perfect.
Proceeds from the $80 entrance fee for the full marathon ($60 for the half) will go to Park Partners of Fort Smith, a nonprofit corporation devoted to developing parks and recreation facilities in the city. The marathon proceeds will go toward expanding the Fort Smith Trail System, according to the marathon website.
We look forward to hearing more about the race in the coming weeks. Let us know if you plan to participate.
In the meantime, there are just two other notes.
First, it's sentimental, but we like the idea floated by Times Record Sports Editor Scott Faldon that somehow the marathon include a memorial to former Mayor Ray Baker, who was a well-known and enthusiastic runner long before running was cool.
Second, in case you wondered, Feb. 8, 2013, had a balmy high temperature of 58 in Fort Smith with a low of 40. Feb. 8 of this year, however, had a high of 34 and a low of 24. That's the thing about February in the Fort, isn't it? You just never know.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Aug. 4
Welcome to Little Rock, Chief!
Robert Redford found Dustin Hoffman rewriting his copy in All The President's Men, and didn't much cotton to it. (If memory serves, they were playing two newspaper types of some note.) Call it the vanity of newsmen, and it's not pretty. At one point, Robert Redford's character quietly tells his partner: I don't mind what you did, I mind the way you did it.
Which is the way a lot of folks in Little Rock may feel when it comes to this whole encryption thing out of police headquarters. It might not be the worst thing ever, but, boy, you'd think Little Rock's finest could've handled it better.
The police in the state's largest force have now gone quiet. Eerily quiet. The newsroom scanners and even the traffic monitors in many a local household no longer chatter. Little Rock's police department has encrypted most of its communications_and unless the cops are talking to another city employee in another department, those who Serve and Protect us are maintaining radio silence when it comes to the served and protected. We the mere people are now to be kept in the dark about what's going on as it goes on.
The cops, or at least their spokesmen, say it's all being done in the interest of public safety. Because nowadays there are apps that the bad guys can employ on their smartphones to find out when busts might be made. And that development, the spokesmen say, could get one of the good guys hurt.
Besides, those spokesmen say, other police departments in the state encrypt their communications, too. Which may be the worst argument for Little Rock's doing the same. It seems a little too Johnny's-mother-says-it's-okay for a discussion between adults.
The bigger problem might be the way this was all done. That is, quietly. Little Rock's city manager told the papers that encryption was "always on the table" when the new radio equipment was put in. But he might have been more accurate if he'd said the whole encryption business was done under the table.
Not only are the media bent out of shape. Not only are those concerned citizens who try to keep up with local crime, and share their reports on social media, yelling about this black-out. When the new encryption rules were finally announced, some city directors were taken by surprise, too. One of them, Stacy Hurst, said she worked for the sales tax increase in 2011 in part to upgrade the police department's radio equipment. But encryption? "I worked hard to get it passed, and I don't recall (encryption) being discussed. I do not recall it being a talking point. Was it in the fine print somewhere? I can't say for sure."
Adds another city director, Lance Hines: "I think everyone's scratching their heads going, 'How did we get from here to there?' "
Little Rock's city directors might do well to take up this not so little matter at their next meeting. For they seem to have questions. And other questions need raising. Such as:
—Shouldn't the public be able to hear what those responsible for our safety are saying to each other? And shouldn't the public be able to keep up with crimes in their neighborhoods? Even and maybe especially while they're being committed?
—Wasn't public money spent to upgrade these police radios? Is spending public money to keep the public in the dark really the best way to keep officers safe?
—What happens next time some officer of the law abuses a private citizen and is so indiscreet as to refer to it on his police radio? That happens, you know. Now, when the courts or just some inky wretches of the press begin looking into the case, will they find all the evidence has been encrypted?
—And if encryption was "always on the table," then how come nobody saw it sitting there? Why is the public just now hearing about it? Or was that information encrypted, too?
Little Rock's new police chief, Kenton Buckner, has been on the job, oh, about a month now. Welcome to Little Rock, Chief. Around these parts, people take their public information, and access to it, seriously. Even if it's just two cops talking about a stalled car on the interstate.
More than that, though, folks around here don't like things being put over on them ever so quietly. They prefer their public officials to stay public. That is, open and above-board and with due notice given and public hearing held before any important change is made in public policy. Citizens don't like things hidden in fine print. Or even encrypted.
Can the scrambler_or whatever gizmo is used in encryption_be turned off, and the radio chatter resumed with a push of the button? That's still another question Little Rock's city directors should ask_in public_at their next meeting. Some of us can't wait.

For AR-15 / M16 type rifles, optical sights provide superior performance at longer ranges, but iron sights can be more effective for close-range engagements. However, attaching an optical sight either prevents the use of iron sights or results in a setup that produces a front sight "shadow" on the optical image, and/or results in problematic transitions from optical to backup iron sights. Not anymore. Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights (RTS) provide shooters with the quickest possible transition between longer- and closer-range target acquisition, greatly increasing their efficiency and effectiveness in battle and competition. Designed by Barry DueckDirector of SureFire's Suppressor Division and a top 3-Gun shooterthese sights mount directly to a weapon's Picatinny rail, offset from center by 45°. This unique offset position makes transitioning from optical to iron sights simply a matter of quickly canting the weapon with your wrists and locking on to the target. There's no removing a hand from the weapon or making a manual adjustment, and no cluttered field of vision or iron sights blocking the optical sight. Just smooth, quick transitions that could mean the difference between winning or losing a competition, or more importantlya gunfight.
- Machined from lightweight, extremely durable 7075 aluminum, Mil-Spec hard anodized
- Same height above bore as standard-issue M4 / M16A4 sights
- ½ MOA elevation and windage adjustments

- Low-profile sights extend only .2" above top rail, don't interfere with primary optics or military IR illuminator /laser sight
- Weight: Rear sight – 3 ounces (85g) / Front sight – 1.5 ounces (44g)

Alison Posey joined the WMBB-TV news team as the Weekend Sports Anchor in October 2010. She was born in Tallahassee to FSU graduates, but raised in Gainesville, where she learned to cheer on both the Garnet and Gold and the Orange and Blue. Alison was an avid athlete, playing both basketball and softball in high school. She attended St. Johns River Community College on a softball scholarship, and after completing her Associate of Arts, transferred to the University of Florida, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Telecommunications and a minor in Sport Management.
During her time at the University of Florida, Alison served as a sports anchor for WUFT-TV as well as a sports anchor on WRUF-AM850. Alison went to Oklahoma City in the summer of 2009 to cover the University of Florida's softball team in their quest for a WCWS title. She also played on the UF's Club Softball team, where she won a Club Softball World Series title in 2010. In addition to going to school full-time, Alison also worked for two years at the ABC affiliate in Gainesville at WCJB-TV20 in the sports department, shooting various high school and college sports and interviewing athletes and coaches. During her time at WCJB, she was on the sideline every home Gator game, and helped cover the 2008 National Championship Gator football team throughout the season.
In May of 2009, Alison interned at CNN Sports, where she learned how a cable television station works. She helped produce the sports segment on "Morning Express with Robin Meade" as well as "World Sport" on CNN International. Just prior to her graduation, Alison had the opportunity to call play-by-play for the Florida-LSU baseball game for ESPNU, something that she says was one of the most exciting opportunities of her life.
In her free time, Alison loves to watch and play any sport. She still plays slow-pitch softball, and loves spending time with family and friends—and can't wait to finally live by the beach. She is excited to learn about the athletes and rivalries in the Northwest Florida area, and can't wait to meet everyone! Feel free to send her an e-mail or story idea at email@example.com .

Sea Hearts

Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
More a series of sequentially connected short stories than novel. The set up is very simple: on Rollrock Island, the men occasionally take as brides women drawn from within the seals that inhabit the beach in summer. These brides are far more beautiful than the women of the island, passive, devoted, and good mothers. Who makes this happen, why she does this, and what happens next, is a tale told by six different people over the course of a decade or so, in seven different fairly self-contained stories. Lanagan's stories are compulsive reading, with dramatic but believable resolutions, told in Lanagan's unique crystalline-clear evocative prose. I have but two minor complaints. First, I thought the short tale of Lory Severner was lightweight and too tidy. Second, in seven stories told by six very different characters, I always heard just one voice. But Lanagan is such a fine writer, I'm OK with that .
I hate this cover. If I hadn't read [b:Tender Morsels|2662169|Tender Morsels|Margo Lanagan|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320416424s/2662169.jpg|2687395], then I might have passed this up. But I know what this author is capable of so I'm not going to let that unfortunate cover design trip me up.

* Kind of depressing
* Style takes a little bit to get into
* You want to scream at the men
I really love the style of this novel. After raging about YA books that constantly flip-flop between characters (thank you Twighlight), it was so nice to see a story carried across time by multiple characters.
Told in different parts by different narrators the book was hard to get into. It doesn't move very swiftly but takes it's time in telling the story and that takes a little getting used to. However, once I got past the first third I couldn't put it down. Picked on as a child the witch Misskaella, who knows how to bring a woman out of a seal, gets her revenge on her sisters and the town when she enchants them with her sea maidens. Dark, and brooding this is a story of love, enchantment, misery and heartbreak on an isolated and small rock of an island. I loved the way the story rambled through the pages, like the ferry out to sea. I also loved all the names in the story and there are many - they were just so interesting - Misskaella, Neme, Knocknee, Ann Jelly and Odger are just a few examples.

"On remote Rollrock Island, men go to sea to make their livings--and to catch their wives. The witch Misskaella knows the way of drawing a girl from the heart of a seal, of luring the beauty out of the beast. And for a price a man may buy himself a lovely sea-wife. He may have and hold and keep her. And he will tell himself that he is her master. But from his first look into those wide, questioning, liquid eyes, he will be just as transformed as she. He will be equally ensnared. And the witch will have her true payment"--… (more)

Thank you very much, you've been very kind. Now everything works. Sorry again Ethel
No need to apologize – just head to the support forum next time ( http://goldenworks.eu/support/ ) if you encounter any issues.
Glad you got everything working!
One thing I really do not like about this theme is that the menu for mobile is so obscure. My mobile users are so confused by it. You should really fix that. Until then, I will rate this a little low.
Hello popcorn,
We think that changing the menu into a dropdown is efficient from an usability point of view, but It would also be nice to have some more feedback in regards with it – why do you think it's obscure and how it could have been better.
Kind regards,
Goldenworks team.
Hello again,
We rechecked the theme and it seems that the menu overlaps the slider / header bar in mobile version. You can fix this by opening main.css from css folder and after this line:
.rev-btn { padding:6px 8px 6px 8px; font-size:10px; }
insert this one, just before the closing } :
.top-wrapper { height:160px; }
We will also update the theme soon with this fix.
Great theme! However, when I try to translate it with Codestyle Localization I get this error:
Error: The actual loaded translation content does not match the textdomain: framework Expect, that any text you translate will not occure as long as the textdomain is mismatching! This is a coding issue at the source files you try to translate, please contact the original Author and explain this mismatch.
Hello KenniBrinch,
We tested the plugin and it works for us but you need to make a change to the wp-config.php file. Open this file and change this line from:
define('WPLANG', '');
define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');
(assuming you want to translate the theme in German, otherwise get the convention language name from here:http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
If you have more questions, please come to our support forum: http://goldenworks.eu/support/
Hi, do you have an online guide to setting up the home page as it has been done in the example for the Flexislider Homepage example?
How To PDF to the theme would make it so much easier.
Hello seakisscollective,
No we don't have an online guide for the theme. The theme package comes with included documentation.
In regards with theme content you have an import xml file that will generate the demo. However if you don't want to use that please come to our support forum – http://goldenworks.eu/support/ – and we will give you the needed sample code that was used in the demo.
Kind regards,
Goldenworks team.
Hi, I like the theme. Nice clean design. Does this theme have a page builder or some type of composer?
If so, any screen shots available?
Hello aksteve,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately no, the theme doesn't have a page builder or a composer. You just insert content in the wordpress content editor using visual or html tabs(shortcodes are generated using custom buttons that are added to the editor).
Kind regards,
Goldenworks team.
I have a problem of the width on my blog. Please help! Thanks!http://18.104.22.168/~silentsc/blog/
Hello WaldenDesign,
Support is provided only on the support forums( http://goldenworks.eu/support/ ), not in the comments section of the themes.
In regards with your issue, I don't see where it is. You are using the blog template 2 that creates blogs posts on 2 columns( see here – http://goldenworks.eu/demos/pw_wordpress/blog-section/ ). If by any chance you want to display your blog on a single column, please use blog template 1.
Also, please note that this behavior has been changed starting with version 1.5 and you are using 1.4.3 that is outdated. Please update the theme to latest version(that has both blog template 1 and 2).
thank you very much. It is fixed.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — ESSEX — Police are investigating a reported hit-and-run accident that allegedly occurred on Eastern Avenue Saturday about 6:34 p.m.
According to police, one driver reportedly side-swiped a parked vehicle, then made a u-turn.
Police said the owner of the vehicle that was struck flagged the driver down near Farnham's, and the two motorists began to exchange information, but when the owner of the parked vehicle noted that the other driver's breath smelled of alcohol, the other driver drove off.
Police said the owner of the parked vehicle took down the plate number, and officers said the vehicle is registered to a Manchester residence.
Police received a report of an abandoned boat in the Essex River Sunday about 11:02 p.m., and the deputy harbormaster is contacting the owner to ask the person to remove the boat.
A person got lost in Essex after leaving a party at a Winthrop Street residence after an argument with friends Saturday about 1:32 a.m., according to police. The lost person reached the police station, and police reunited the person with the Winthrop Street residents.
Police received a report of a white horse running loose in the roadway on Southern Avenue near Apple Street, but were unable to locate a horse when they arrived in the area Saturday about 9:46 a.m., according to police.
The Fire Department Rescue Squad transported a person who walked into the police station suffering a medical condition to Beverly Hospital Friday about 6:05 p.m., according to fire officials.
The Fire Department Rescue transported a Pond Street resident to Beverly Hospital Saturday about 7:22 p.m., according to police.
Firefighters also responded Sunday at 2:19 p.m. to a Story Street Apartment complex for an oven fire. Officials said that the fire, which started when a resident turned on the oven without realizing there was food in it, was contained within the appliance. Firefighters extinguished the fire and ventilated the building to remove smoke, officials said.

Topic: A chicken in every pot and a SSD in every computer (Read 8335 times)
For a lower $/GB cost, the Seagate Momentus XT drives are everything they claim to be. They're not up to SSD levels, but for most work they're quite good and still head and shoulders above just a straight mechanical drive.
240GB Crucial M500 with firmware MU03 on a 2010 13-inch Macbook Pro with Superdrive through SATA 3Gb/s (300MB/s) interface. Clean install of 10.9.1 + other updates. TRIM not enabled as it was recommended by a Crucial employee that the built-in Garbage Collecting is sufficient.

I was able to source a 2nd HDD bracket so I can make a Fusion Drive.
I was all set to upgrade my 2009 Mac Book to SSD and RAM, but for not much more ($500) I was able to buy 2012 Mac Air with the SSD, double the RAM as well as newer generation, better screen, and the seller through in an external 500 Mb external HDD. It opened my eyes to the used market. It may not be the speed demon I was dreaming about when I looked at the website, but the key is that it is no longer a dream! Plus my son was the lucky recipient of a computer that wasn't great for Aperture/LR, but far better than he had. If what you have is useful to someone else (or yourself in other applications), the upgrade money might be better spent elsewhere.
Someone buy this SSD and let me know how it is. Thinking about buying one if I win the lottery twice.

Someone buy this SSD and let me know how it is. Thinking about buying one if I win the lottery twice.
Give it 4 years then you'll buy two for your computer.
... but enough of this SSD talk ... the subject title also refers to, (in fact starts with) "A chicken in every pot" (which is the main reason I read this thread), but I am very disappointed to note that after 3 pages of comments & 5999 hits (to this thread) no one is talking about the chicken in the pot.

As a member of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation, Charlotte Coté offers a valuable perspective on the issues surrounding indigenous whaling, past and present. Whaling served important social, economic, and ritual functions that have been at the core of Makah and Nuu-chah-nulth societies throughout their histories. Even as Native societies faced disease epidemics and federal policies that undermined their cultures, they remained connected to their traditions. The revival of whaling has implications for the physical, mental, and spiritual health of these Native communities today, Coté asserts. Whaling, she says, "defines who we are as a people."
Her analysis includes major Native studies and contemporary Native rights issues, and addresses environmentalism, animal rights activism, anti-treaty conservatism, and the public's expectations about what it means to be "Indian." These thoughtful critiques are intertwined with the author's personal reflections, family stories, and information from indigenous, anthropological, and historical sources to provide a bridge between cultures.
Charlotte Cote is associate professor of American Indian studies at the University of Washington.
"This work, by an Indigenous scholar who also has hereditary rights to particular kinds of information and who shares the traditions of her own family and community, makes a powerful contribution to Northwest Coast Indigenous and environmental history." -Coll Thrush, author of Native Seattle: Stories from the Crossing-Over Place
"An excellent and timely book that chronicles the revitalization of the honored whaling tradition among the Makah and Nuu-chah-nulth but also raises broader issues of eco-colonialism, identity, and self-determination within the cultural nexus and political ecology of modern environmentalism and indigenous hunting economies." -Thomas Thornton, author of Being and Place among the Tlingit

Naming igneous rocksThe names we give igneous rocks are based on their chemical compositions. The relative amounts of just three main minerals; quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar are all you need to know to start naming igneous rocks. In addition to these three light-colored, felsic minerals, the abundance of dark, mafic minerals can also help you distinguish one type of igneous rock from another.
Making a first guessThe chart above will help you get started. Once you know you have an igneous rock, look at the texture to decide if it is intrusive or extrusive. Then use this chart to make your first guess based on how dark (mafic) or light (felsic) your rock appears.
Name that rock!To be sure you've named your rock correctly you need to compare the amounts of plagioclase feldspar, potassium feldspar, and quartz and plot it on the chart on the left. It takes a little practice to get used to a triangular graph!
Try this: suppose your rock is coarse-grained, so you know its intrusive. It has 40% quartz, 30% potassium feldspar, and 30% plagioclase feldspar, its called granite.

Handy graduated from Carbon Hill High School, and was in the process of signing with University of Alabama to play football when a knee injury altered his chances. Never getting to play for "The Bear" was his greatest regret.
He loved to fish and hunt. His favorite form of hunting was turkey hunting. He taught his daughter, Lindsey to call a turkey at a young age. Delbert and Lindsey won many trophies for turkey calling.
Handy was known to be a quiet, soft spoken and kind person. He learned these traits from studying Yoshi and Shotokan. He received a black belt in Yosheki and a brown belt in Shodakon. In his early years, he taught classes in both arts.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Delbert Handy Sr. and Ola Rutledge Handy; sister, Linda Birdyshaw; brother, Bobby Birdyshaw; father-in-law, O'Neil Baughn; sister-in-law, Connie Norris; and nephew, Jerome Norris.

Welterweight Viscardi Andrade (17-5) opened up the Facebook prelims for UFC 163 with a first round TKO over Bristol Marunde (12-9). The fight marked Andrade's first bout as a UFC fighter. Marunde was making his second appearance in the Octagon and third under the Zuffa banner. He's been finished in all three outings.
Viscardi controlled the entirety of the short contest. He dropped Marunde with a crisp combo early and followed up with another power shot when Bristol managed to survive the initial onslaught. After being dropped for the second time, Viscardi went in for ground strikes and Marunde grabbed on to referee Leon Roberts' leg as the fight was stopped.
What was the high point of the fight?
It looked like Marunde may have recovered while on the ground, but as soon as he stood up, Andrade blasted him with the fight finishing left hook.
Where do they go from here?
Coming off TUF Brazil 2, Andrade had to have known he needed a win Saturday night to hold his spot on the UFC roster. He got the @ and he got it in impressive fashion. That's what the UFC brass likes to see from debuting fighters. The TKO definitely earned Andrade another fight, most likely on the prelims of a Brazil event and possibly on a televised broadcast.
Having gone 0-3 in his three Zuffa fights, I doubt the UFC gives him another fight. He'll need to pick up some wins on the regional circuit before Joe Silva comes calling again.
Watch it now, later, or never?
Go ahead and watch it now. It was an good performance from Andrade with an exciting finish and it's only 96 seconds.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Chauncey Ray Billups was born on September 25, 1976. He was drafted in 1997 by the Boston Celtics but was traded midway through his first season to the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors traded him to the Nuggets, for whom he played as a backup point guard until 2000, when he was traded to the Orlando Magic. Billups never played a game for Orlando due to injury, and he was traded in the offseason to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In Minnesota, Billups initially played backup behind more experienced point guard Terrell Brandon, but quickly grew to be a spark plug off the bench for the team, having a breakout 2001-2002 season. During the 2002 offseason, Billups signed with the Detroit Pistons as a free agent, taking over their starting point guard role. It was during his tenure with the Pistons for which he has gained fame, leading a ragtag group of players who had been unceremoniously dumped or traded by numerous teams all the way to the championship in 2004. In the Finals, the Pistons upset the heavily favored Los Angeles Lakers, which featured a roster that included future Hall of Famers Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, and Gary Payton, in what many sportswriters have dubbed "a 5 game sweep" due to the dominant defensive play by the Pistons throughout the series. Billups was awarded the Finals MVP for his efforts, in which he completely shut down Gary Payton and hit numerous big shots down the stretch. In the 2005 season, Billups again led the ragtag Pistons to the NBA Finals, defeating the #1 seeded Miami Heat (which now featured the duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Dwayne Wade) in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the Finals, the Pistons were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs thanks to terrific clutch play by Spur Robert Horry in Game 5, which allowed the Spurs to bring a 3-2 advantage back to San Antonio, where they managed to defeat the Pistons in a tight seven game series. For the next three seasons, the Pistons, despite major roster changes, remained highly competitive, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals all three seasons, for a total of six consecutive seasons, all with Billups as the starting point guard. After falling short once again in 2008, this time against the eventual champion Boston Celtics, Billups was traded to the Denver Nuggets in a major deal for former scoring champion Allen Iverson. This trade was hyped at the time but proved to be a mistake for the Pistons: whereas Detroit barely made the playoffs in 2009 and was swept in the first round, Billups, along with teammate Carmelo Anthony, brought the Nuggets back to the conference finals, where they lost a contested series with the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers. The 2009-2010 season was one of challenges for Billups and the Nuggets as their head coach, George Karl, was diagnosed with throat cancer. Chemistry problems and inconsistent team play, made worse by Karl's absence, led to a first-round exit for the Nuggets against the Utah Jazz, the first time in seven years Billups has not advanced at least to the conference finals. Billups will return to the Nugget's lineup for the 2010-2011 season. In his 13 year career, Billups is best known as an excellent defender who is also a terrific clutch player, as evidenced by his nickname on the court, "Mr. Big Shot". He remains one of the most feared and respected clutch players in the league.

Perhaps because Spock is half human his emotions are not quite as volatile as the average Vulcan.
Less Vulcanised…
The next TV Series should be called STARFLEET!
Let's start with a couple basic assumptions about the current movie franchise:
-First, that the most commonly-familiar aspects of ST (particularly TOS) are going to get pushed to the forefront. Last movie, the Orion Slave Girl decided to leave her job and make an honest living going to college (er... the academy), seemingly just so the movie could show her making out with Kirk. After all, 'everyone' knows Kirk had a green woman in the original series.
-And second, that movies in general are about character arcs and Life-Changing Events. Generally speaking, if your script doesn't have these ingredients, then you don't have a movie. ST films of the past have been largely 'exempt' from this rule, on the concession that every movie can't seem like a Life-Changing Event for the characters after 79 episodes of television had already passed (and many critics were probably all too happy to lower expectations anyway). However, since ST is now 'primarily' a movie franchise, the conventional rules of drama would seem to apply.
The first film had the ST crew (particularly Kirk and Spock) coming together and learning to function as a team. It is therefore not unreasonable to assume that the films from here on out will involve problems -both personal and cosmic- that test the integrity of the ST 'family' by threatening to pull it back apart.
In keeping with assumption #1, we already have a "one of the above" list of characters who will 'likely' appear in the next film. I believe they were Harry Mudd, the Gorn, Gary Mitchell and [I forget the fourth one. I'm thinking it was either Trelane or the Horta]. Whichever one it is, I'm thinking it will just be a very brief cameo. Otherwise they wouldn't have spilled it.
Meanwhile Kirk has dropped out of the Kirk/Uhura/Spock romantic triangle (unless he's more of an idiot than I give him credit for). And hopefully by the end of next movie we'll know whether Uhura (per ST09) or McCoy (per 'traditional' TOS) is the third member of the Trekkian triumvirate.
Now. 'Amok Time' is another one of those classic episodes that 'almost' everyone probably knows about to some degree. How long do you suppose the writers will resist bringing T'Pring into one of these movies? With the explanation that she was off-world at the time Vulcan went kaput?
In doing so, you achieve some obvious results that are nonetheless dramatically 'truthful' with ST characters and canon. You 'heat up' the Uhura/Spock triangle (don't look at me like that, I'm just making observations here). And you provide a 'passive' antagonist who can seduce/guilt-trip Spock into reconsidering his obligations to country vs the Enterprise/Starfleet (especially if he already takes a lot of flak from fellow Vulcans who have had to make greater personal sacrifices for Vulcan society in the wake of what happened).
And a storyline dealing with the aftermath of the Vulcan diaspora, and possibly a renegade faction of Vulcan causing problems for the Federation, would seem to provide JJ and company with the perfect excuse for working such personal elements into their story. Again, from a purely observational point of view.

It's harder to know what the A-plot will be but my money is probably on some kind of disaster. This could allow a science character like Carol Marcus to be brought in (yes I know I'm fed up of girlfriends but Carol is great) but it could also allow cameos from a character like Harry Mudd - my money is probably on a drunken Scotty/Harry scene, although I'm rather partial to Harry being a 'legitimate' salvage operator who recovers a certain, seemingly derelict, ship in the closing credits...

Harry Mudd tries to rip off Trelane who punishes him by sending him to a Hort colony. Doesn't make sense but who cares, ahead fanwank factor 9.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
so are we going to see a remake of a TOS episode
Space is disease and dangerous wrapped in darkness and silence-Leonard Bones McCoy
Using the teen love vs older love analogy............yes, young people fall in 'love' all the time especially as kids. Because they don't have the systems to deal with and understand the emotion of love and the different kinds of it there are. They can't, because they haven't experienced enough varieties of love to start understanding and dealing with it on an emotional level.
(I would often point anyone at this point to the dual versions of Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now', the one she recorded as a young woman and the one she recorded as an older woman with life of later experiences under her belt for a semblance of what I mean).
Vulcan society is similar, 2000 years after Surak, Vulcans don't have the mechanisms that humans (who kept their emotions) do to process and cope with them, so they have difficulty handling them if they decide to try and not do what orthodoxy says they must. The emotions are still there............but highly suppressed instead until Kolinahr takes place. But they are still there and (at times) in some Vulcans resurface. Then the fun begins sometimes.
Prime Spock took a lifetime to balance his two sides out until he was more human than Vulcan really, so I'm not suggesting that it would ever be easy for Vulcan society to alter............it wouldn't............and maybe they shouldn't anyway if for the majority it works for them.
But there are always exceptions - good and bad.

I actually have always kinda liked Sybok, even though much of his dialog left a lot to be desired. As a Vulcan, he made a unique religious terrorist, in that he was (genuinely) unaccountable:
"DO you realize what you have done? It wasn't bloodshed I wanted." (Um, okay. If you were anybody else I'd ask, what did you think was going to happen?)

SARANAC LAKE — Tobacco users can commit to quit as part of the Great American Smoke Out on Thursday then take until Jan. 1 to stop for good.
The event, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, encourages smokers and others to make a plan to quit or just stop cold that day.
A new approach embraced by the Smoking Cessation Center of the North Country Healthy Heart Network gives smokers and tobacco chewers time to make a plan to quit and to talk to their doctor about available medications and other methods to help them be successful.
"We like to reframe the Great American Smoke Out to making a commitment to stop smoking on Jan. 1, 2014," said the agency's Executive Director Margot Gold.
She said the longer deadline between Nov. 21 and Dec. 31 also gives the person a chance to seek support and guidance from the New York State Smokers Quitline "so they are prepared for Jan. 1," she said.
To help them quit, some callers may be eligible for two weeks of free supplies, such as patches, gums or lozenges, which typically cost $40 to $50 per kit.
This is the 38th year the Great American Smoke Out has been observed, but advocates say the North Country has as many as 50 percent more smokers than the state average.
A 2009 report from the State Health Department found Franklin County had the second-highest smoking rate in the the state.
Chemung County had the highest rate at 30.8 percent, and Franklin County had 30.7 percent.
The state average was 17 percent.
The report stated that Clinton County's rate was 21.7 percent, and Essex County's was 24.2 percent.
Gold and other cessation advocates asked Franklin County legislators to form a committee last summer to make all county property tobacco-free, and Legislator Sue Robideau (R-Brushton) has tried to keep the idea moving forward.

Newborn brain injury| Why – and when – some neonates suffer strokes has become just the first part of one physician's "30-year project" to cure them.
The young physician held Elsie Drobnick on her lap. She bounced the baby's hands as she talked with Elsie's parents, Jillian and Jim, who had driven down from Fort Collins to Children's Hospital Colorado on the Anschutz Medical Campus for these 15 minutes. Elsie, two months old, was exceptionally cute; she was, however, a not uncommon patient for stroke neurologist Jennifer Armstrong-Wells, MD, MPH. She was a newborn brain injury patient.
Elsie had suffered a perinatal stroke – whether before, during or just after birth is not quite clear. Armstrong-Wells focuses on children like Elsie at University of Colorado Hospital and, through a new, pioneering study, seeks to tease out how inflammation and blood clotting in high-risk mothers-to-be might lead to brain injury in humanity's newest arrivals. The link between blood pressure, blood clotting and perinatal brain injury became clearer in the mid-2000s. We now know, for example, that in the hours before, during and after birth, babies have a higher stroke risk than at any other time in their lives.
We also know that these strokes can have consequences spanning decades. A 2008 University of Indiana study found that 76 of 111 children (68 percent) who had suffered a perinatal stroke also had cerebral palsy, which can result from brain damage due to a lack of oxygen.
Some of the pioneering work in linking maternal health with the brains of babies was done at the University of California, San Francisco while Armstrong-Wells was working through dual residencies in pediatrics and child neurology. She is now an assistant professor of Neurology in the CU School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics, and is affiliated with the Center for Women's Health Research and the Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center. She is director of the Perinatal and Hemorrhagic Stroke programs at UCH and Children's Hospital Colorado.
Armstrong-Wells has long been drawn to the challenge of caring for babies with brain injuries. Somehow preventing the newborn brain injury would be better yet, she figured.
"Having a disabled child has long-term personal and socioeconomic implications on the child as well as the family," she said.
Shortly after arriving at CU three years ago, Armstrong-Wells applied for a Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health grant from the National Institutes of Health. The grant involves young investigators working with mentors on multidisciplinary problems. She met with Virginia Winn, MD, PhD, a professor in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Basic Reproductive Sciences at the School of Medicine. Winn is a perinatologist and researcher in placental biology and preeclampsia, or high blood pressure during pregnancy. They decided to pursue the link between preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and the risk of cerebral palsy and other brain injury in infants.
The population of mothers whose water breaks too early accounts for a third of premature deliveries, Winn said. PPROM, which happens prior to 37 weeks gestation and often well before that, increases the risk of chorioamnionitis, an infection of the fetal membranes. Chorioamnionitis is a risk factor for perinatal stroke and brain injury.
Armstrong-Wells was awarded the grant with Marilyn Manco- Johnson, MD, as a co-investigator and study mentor. Manco- Johnson, a pediatric hematologist and director of the Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, is an expert in blood clotting.
They launched the study a year ago. Women arriving at UCH for PPROM-related bed rest and antibiotics, and who join the study, are screened for biomarkers of clotting disorders as well as for inflammation.
When the baby is born, Armstrong-Wells' team also samples the baby's cord blood as well as the placenta – the baby's connection with its mother – which placental pathologist Miriam Post, MD, then assesses for evidence of inflammation and clotting problems. Next, Armstrong-Wells uses ultrasound and exams to check the baby for possible brain injury. Clotting alone isn't the problem, Armstrong-Wells believes.
"We know that women have increased clotting when pregnant, but it's a safety thing, because the risk of hemorrhage is so great," she explained. "The same goes for babies. It's a natural process."
Nor does inflammation alone seem to bring about newborn brain injury, she says.
"Most likely, it's a combination of clotting and inflammatory disorders that causes brain injuries in the child," she said. The study is now enrolling three to four women a month, Armstrong-Wells said, with about 40 mothers having joined so far. Data are already coming in, she added, and there have been some surprises. The team wants to be certain of its findings before it starts publishing.
"The dream is that we're going to cure perinatal brain injury – find out what causes it and develop an intervention," Armstrong-Wells said.
It might take awhile.
"I call this my 30-year project," she quipped.
But Armstrong-Wells and Winn believe that the study has the potential to trigger changes in the standard of care in the near future, too. For example, it could be that it's safer for babies in ruptured membranes to be born prematurely than remain in what Armstrong-Wells described as "a hostile pregnancy environment."
"I think the work she's doing is going to provide some insights that can really direct obstetric management," Winn said.

Versatile Painter's Tool. Based on the
numbers alone, Hyde's 14-in-1 Multi-Tool is nearly three
times as good as the original version of this painter's tool
— the venerable "5-in-1." The new tool can scrape
paint, open cans, excise rot, back up a pry bar, and serve as a
makeshift screwdriver; a pull-out drawer in the handle stores four
bits. It costs about $11. Hyde Tools,
800/872-4933, www.hydetools.com.
Multipurpose Blades. According to the
manufacturer, the OX-PU10 Superfast diamond blade slices through
steel as effectively as it carves up stone, brick, and concrete.
Cooling holes and a reinforced center flange allow it to make fast
cuts through masonry and steel without overheating, the company
says. It's sold in sizes from 4 inches ($30) to 14 inches
($174) to fit angle grinders, circular saws, and gas handheld saws.
OX Group USA, 908/603-0898, ox-cp.com.
Easy Mark. To use the Self-Marking Tape Measure
— which contains an ink cartridge — you extend the
16-foot tape until the pointer indicates the desired distance, then
press down on the case to leave a mark. According to the maker, one
cartridge can make hundreds of marks and is easily replaceable when
it runs out. The ink is erasable from nonporous surfaces but
permanent on raw wood and drywall. The tape measure costs $25;
replacement cartridges cost $5. I-Mark Tools,
802/253-9600, i-marktools.com.
Hose-Free Roofing. Though not intended for
production work, Paslode's CR175C Cordless Roofing Nailer
might be ideal for remodelers who'd rather not have to haul
out the tanks and hoses when installing skylights or making
repairs. It holds 120 coil nails and drives two nails per second,
says the maker. Features include a soft grip handle, a single-door
magazine, and an adjustable depth-of-drive. The 7 1/2-pound tool
costs $430. Illinois Tool Works, 800/222-6990,

By FELICIA KRIEG
---- — CHAMPLAIN — A Champlain Highway Department employee has been charged with grand larceny for using $3,563.48 in town funds to pay for gasoline for his own personal use, police said.
Benjamin W. Hough, 37, was charged Aug. 31 with third-degree grand larceny, a felony.
State Police gave him the opportunity to turn himself in to troopers at the Chazy barracks, and he was arrested there at 9:50 a.m. that day, State Police Troop B Public Information Officer Trooper Jennifer Fleishman said Friday.
Hough allegedly used taxpayer dollars to buy gas between Dec. 10, 2012, and Aug. 13 of this year. She said Hough likely filled the tank of his personal vehicle with the stolen fuel, but that information could not be confirmed Friday.
Town Councilor John Cooper reported the matter to police on Aug. 22 after a discrepancy in town records was discovered, Fleishman said.
"We certainly are taking a look at our policies and how things get by us, so to speak. It's complicated," said Champlain Town Supervisor Larry Barcomb.
The town has no gasoline pumps on premises, he said, but rather an account at a local gas station where municipal vehicles are taken to fuel up.
Hough, employed by the town for less than three years, Barcomb said, "is not working for us any longer."
The supervisor couldn't discuss the case further since the investigation is ongoing, he said.
After his arrest, Hough was released on an appearance ticket to be arraigned in Champlain Town Court on Thursday, Fleishman said.
The court could not be reached Friday for the status of Hough's case.

After investigating a series of arsons and acts of vandalism for over a year, St. Petersburg Police officers arrested Jessica Sowick, 26, of St. Petersburg. They say she is a potential suspect in six arson cases.
Causeway Isle neighbors are relieved to hear about an arrest. "Wow ! Well we've been waiting for this. That's for sure. Everybody's been on edge. So it would be nice to have it done and over with, that's for sure" said Tracy Lovett.
Investigators said Sowick was caught on a surveillance camera that was installed in a tree at a vacant house in south St. Petersburg. The home where the camera was installed had been a target for recent arsons, vandalism and a burglary. "She did not start a fire. But she did make reference to the prior fires on the graffiti that she wrote on the wall" said Mike Puetz of the St. Petersburg Police Department.
Police say the camera captured Sowick writing profanities on the house wall similar to the ones found at other arson crime scenes.
Officers arrested her Monday. Sowick denied involvement in previous arson cases. Investigators are looking into whether Sowick might have been involved in similar crimes in Arizona and Pennsylvania.

The heavy rains over the weekend left a section of Interstate closed in Morgan County and Macmurry College in Jacksonville with serious water damage.
Illinois State Police closed a section of Interstate 72 over the weekend and redirected traffic to alternate routes.
Meanwhile, parts of Jacksonville were evacuated because of the rising waters. The Jacksonville water treatment plant and several area roads were also submerged after an estimated 12 inches of rain fell on areas east of Jacksonville Saturday.
A boil order is in effect until Jacksonville's water plant is functional.
At Macmurry College there was a foot of water in the education building and three gyms were flooded.
In Scott County, a levee near Oxville broke Sunday, flooding thousands of acres of Illinois River bottom farmland and closing Illinois route 100. A Scott County Sheriff's Department spokesman said there were three breaks in the levee and one of them was about 400 feet long.

And then I snapped out of it. Because things are great and I have found the good in all of this. Here's a list of everything good that will come from this move:
1. I will be saving ~ $400 each month and am gaining 200 square feet. These two factors are the reasons that I am making a move in the first place.
2. I'll be in an older/more charming place. Lots of pretty detail. Very me.
3. I can fit 1-2 shelving units (more storage!) and a chair in my living room!
4. I can also finally buy a (small) dining table. Hooray for dinner parties!
5. Great neighborhood.
6. I get to do a little redecorating. And to say I live for interior design would probably not be an understatement. I am getting excited.
7. w/d in the unit! Hooray!
And then there's the redecorating. I took forever to furnish my current place. Fortunately, I already have furniture and just need to get a few pieces/accessories.
So here's what's on the list:
1. New headboard (ordered 2 days ago)!
2. Dining table and chairs
3. 1-2 shelving units
4. New throw pillows for sofa
5. Chair for living room
6. Shower curtain and bathroom rug
7. New coffee table or second Durham Bunching Table
Change terrifies me, but I figured that if I can handle moving from LA to Chicago, moving 3 miles away from my current location in Chicago should be a piece of cake. So, let the decorating commence!
Let's start with a few favorite shelving units. I am losing some kitchen cabinets and plan on stacking all of my white dishware, kitchenaid mixer, mixing bowls, ceramic canisters etc. on a shelf. And yes -- everything I own is white. I already know which one I'm going with but I wanted to share my top 3 with you. And I may end up purchasing a second unit for my bedroom.
1. Wisteria 2. Knobs and Hardware 3. West Elm
Which one would you choose?
