Vietnam War, 1961-1975
Indians of North America
From Library Staff
Hogan's depiction of a fictional tribe in Washington State is endearing and an excellent narrative. Another view of a Native American war veteran but told within a frame of romance, rituals, tradition, and magic.

So well written with a capturing plot! I felt the most sympathy and admiration for Lin, and she was definitely my favourite character, although not a major one.

He wonders how much that flaw will impact Ramirez's value on the open market at a time when teams are placing a higher premium than ever before on defense. He adds that if Ramirez does stay in L.A. and shift to third base in the long-term on his next contract, the team may have to trade Juan Uribe and his $6.5MM 2015 salary.Looking at other Dodgers issues, Rosenthal writes that many executives around the league expect that it will ultimately be Matt Kemp who is traded to clear the team's outfield logjam, though it likely won't happen until the offseason. He adds that the Dodgers are likely to be in the market for a starting pitcher after the news that Chad Billingsley is out for the season, as Josh Beckett and Dan Haren are tough to rely on down the stretch.

Sheesh I see the complainers are in force even though the Dodgers were a few ridiculous defensive plays off another 3 runs.It was not a close game in general performance and Jansen just had a brain fart.
I would point out it was a great example of why closers stink, since he should have put a different reliever in.

LAPORTE | No longer will areas of the century-old LaPorte City Hall be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
Occasional power outages from system overloads also will be a thing of the past.
Work is scheduled to begin the first week of August on a $1.2 million renovation of the two-story 1913 structure.
"It's desperately needed. That's for sure," City Councilman Ron McAtee said.
A majority of the work will involve putting in new heating, cooling and electrical systems.
City engineer Dale Clingerman said the current 600 amp electrical system will be replaced with an 800 amp system to deliver the power necessary to operate computers and other electronic devices that weren't as widely used when the existing power system was put in many years ago.
The new cooling system will solve problems with not enough cool air reaching the second floor, where conditions are often too sticky in the summer.
In winter, employees in parts of the building that don't get enough heat from an old boiler system will be able to put away sweaters or even space heaters once the new higher capacity and efficient heating system is in place.
Other work will include making the sloped floor in the council chamber flat to improve accessibility for the disabled.
"The whole purpose of the project is to make the building a little more user friendly," Clingerman said.
The outside of the structure, originally built as a post office, is in great shape but will undergo some tuckpointing to shore up a few loose bricks.
The trim and other parts of the exterior that are made of wood will be repainted.
New concrete steps will be installed at the front entranceway to replace the ones that are sagging and leaning. The bumpy parking lot also will be repaved.
"I'm very excited to move forward on that project," Mayor Blair Milo said.
Clingerman said employees will have to temporarily be relocated while the work on the inside is occurring.
He expects the project to be finished before the end of November.

Y'know, I can swim, I'm not an amazing swimmer. And I had to grab this guy with one arm, and we're doing a shot that like led off the day, and our director was saying, y'know, "Okay Dylan just, y'know, so swim with him from point A to point B" and I was like, "I can't."

So I was just like trying to—And I couldn't move, with you. So funny.
- Hoechlin: After the first one—after the first one I told him like, "Dude, just like—like just go, and if my head goes underwater, just keep going, and I'll try to find a way to breathe, and if I have to I'll just come up for air. Like, just go."
- Dylan: And I was just trying to keep him up—Oh, god. We've had a lot of fun scenes.

Rodent infestation...HELP!!!
Rodent infestation...HELP!!!
I'm living with a nightmare. My parents were kind enough to give me their 1996 4Runner. When they owned it, it once became infested with rats in the heating and air conditioning ducts, and the fan stopped working properly. A rat was found and cleaned out of the system. Now, within days of having this vehicle in my garage (yes, I have rodents, and no amount of poison will ever completely get rid of them in this rural area), the same problem occurred, but is much worse this time. The system stopped functioning. Mice apparently had packed the entire air system with some kind of nesting material that, according to the mechanic, looks like home insulation. He removed it but it reoccurred the next day. After a $90 job, he admitted that it may be throughout the entire system in areas that are unreachable, and is moving around. He says that cleaning it out would require removing the whole dashboard, and would take 10 hours and is a $900 job. He also says that there is no way to keep them out (such as modifications) short of getting rid of the rodent population. What? :banghead: So I am supposed to live with a vehicle that is not functional because the heater, defrost, etc., will never operate again unless I want to spend $900 a week (I know the problem will reoccur immediately)? I have owned an older Toyota truck for years, always parked in the same garage, and have never had a single problem. Why would a vehicle be designed so poorly as to allow such a major problem? I am outraged and frustrated to no end. Please help me!! Is there any solution?
Brian R.
Let a cat or two live in your garage. Clean it out, and see what happens.
Had a friend of mine who was having the same problem with his Chevy truck, but he was always keeping candy bar wrappers and other trash in there. There's got to be a reason that the mice want to get in there so badly.
I was looking for a solution for the vehicle, not the rodents. I'm going broke from buying poison to keep them under control, but to no avail. I live on a creek and there is an endless population of rodents. As soon as the poison runs out (a few days), new rodents move in. Is this all I'm going to get from this forum? This problem is serious to me. For your information, rodents don't just build nests in places where there is food. So do you think there is food in my air ducts? :screwy: They'll build nests in any confined or sheltered place. Mice had also built a nest in the air filter when my parents owned the car. I've found them in storage boxes as well (NO TRASH OR FOOD!). Much as I love them, I don't want cats living in my garage. I would treat them better than that. And as far as candy wrappers and trash goes, there is none of either in my vehicle or garage. :swear: Both are immaculate, thank you!
They can't be immaculate, they're full of rats! Seriously, you need to get a grip. The responses were given to try and help you, not ridicule you. You question the validity of this site but can you imagine what kind of response you would get if you contacted Toyota with this question? For that matter, how about Ford, or Dodge? You have to realize your situation is very unusual. In fact, this site may not be the best solution for you because your problem is not with the vehicle, it's with the rats. Rats don't infest Toyotas any worse than they do any other make. I would think you would be better off trying to reduce the infestation rather than trying to keep them out of your vehicle, which is going to be very difficult. They are pretty determined animals as you already know. As far as my response goes, I was just passing on the only experience I have had with a problem like yours. My friend was no slob, either, but everybody leaves something in their car every now and then. Even the smell of food in the car is enough to motivate them. I wasn't implying anything about the cleanliness of your vehicles, just passing along some information in an attempt to help.

We see upsets just about every week in the NFL. This past Sunday we saw the Colts (+10.5) put a beating on the 49ers, while the Panthers (+2.5) ran the Giants out of Carolina with a 38-0 massacre. I'm going to take a look at some of the upsets that we could see in Week 4. In order for me to put a team on upset alert, they have to be favored by more than the average of all the spreads for the week - after all, would the Bears (+3) beating the Lions really be an upset? The average spread this week is 4.25.
There are five games this week with a spread of more than 4.25 points. These games include:
Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5) @ Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts (-8.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5)
Philadelphia Eagles @ Denver Broncos (-11)
Miami Dolphins @ New Orleans Saints (-6.5)
Most of those underdogs I feel have very slim chances of winnings, but here are the games that I believe could result in an upset:
New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5): I am fully aware that not enough people are taking the Chiefs seriously, and I am not trying to disrespect them by saying they could lose to the 0-3 Giants. For years, however, I have seen the Giants turn it on just when you least expect it - particularly on the road. People are starting to say that head coach Tom Coughlin is on the hot seat. Coughlin has been on the hot seat multiple times in the past, and he has generally responded by winning the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs were slaughtered so badly by the Eagles on the ground last week that their opponents' yards per carry skyrocketed up to 5.6 - the worst mark in the league. If the Giants can finally get something going on the ground, their entire offense could start clicking again. Chiefs No. 1 cornerback Brandon Flowers has been bothered by a knee injury this season, causing him to struggle through three games. With two elite receiving options (Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks), quarterback Eli Manning can take advantage of a secondary when one of the cornerbacks is not on top of his game.
All that being said, I still think that the Chiefs will win this game. They have talent all throughout their defense, and their offense is efficient enough to get the job done (with a constant big play threat in the explosive Jamaal Charles). However, it would not surprise me to see the Giants turn it on in a must-win situation and pull out the victory.

I'm sure this answer changes daily, depending on what I've just read/watched, but I'd like to meet Bilbo Baggins and spend a month at Bag End. I'd use it as a writing retreat, and have lots of marvelous teas with my host and drink lots of Shire pressed wine!
It would be even better if members of the Company swung by for visits now and again.
But of course, if I went pre-The Hobbit, Bilbo would be unsociable and not willing to entertain one of the Big Folk. And if I went after, he would be melencholy. So, perhaps, I would like to go to an AU version of the book where everyone survives the Battle of the Five Armies and Thorin isn't consumed by the Dragon Sickness?
(But I would want to go drinking with Newt and Hermann from "Pacific Rim"!)
In celebration of Fish Fingers and Custard day, I offer up "Sympathy for the Daleks" by the fantastic comedy folk rock band Nerds With Guitars. I have seen them live and they are hilarious in person!

Of the books I bought last last week, only two are left unread. Now I want to get my butt over the bookstore and buy more books. But there always is the problem of having no money, which sucks.
Anyway, I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird right now and I'm slowly realizing why it still is a highly-acclaimed and praised book after so many years. Scout, Jem and Dill are very amusing. And Atticus is so bold and witty. I'm also as curious about Boo Radley as Scout, Jem and Dill are. Can't wait to finish reading it.
And there also comes the problem of having NATs tomorrow.

I find that a lot of drugstore lipstick's pinks are too bright for me. I only wear light pinks (I'm only 17) and I had a hard time founding a light pink that wasn't too light or too bright, but this is a real winner! It's a medium toned pink with a hint of champagne shimmer. It's perfect if you're looking for a natural look. I'm not too crazy about the boring packaging or the scent. It smells a little fruity and sweet, but it's not terrible. It doesn't dry out my lips, but it doesn't moisturize either. It has a pretty good lasting power too.
This is one of those products that when you look at it, you say that it is a very mediocre product and it should not get that many reviews or raves. The funny thing is that after using so many pink lipsticks, I find this the most wearable of all. It goes well with with any eye or face mu that I have on. It brightens my face but it is very subtle. I am sure the company did not think that this is going to be hit but wow, a lot of people love this and there is a reason for it.

This lipstick is awesome. It's a neutral pink on my lips, and brightens up my face without looking overdone. It is long lasting and fairly matte, but while it isn't moisturizing, it's not drying either.
I wear it to work because it makes me look nice but not overdone. Love it!
I love this lipstick!! This is the perfect cool, slightly purple lipstick. I know that doesn't sound like a good, natural lip color but it is. I usually have an issue getting depth of color I want in a lipstick. They are usually too nude/pale or too dark. This one is the perfect level of color for me, not super dark and not pale either. Ex. MAC modesty is too dark for me, I had to get Faux which is slightly lighter. Anyway, I've heard it's a dupe for MAC Viva glam V, but it doesn't look anything like that to me. VGV is much darker and more rosy, and this is lighter and pinker. I wouldn't call it moisturizing, but it's definately not drying. It smells like coconut to me, which I love. The packaging isn't super solid, but it's not super flimsy either. For me this is just a perfect cool toned lipstick. Great drugstore find!
I like this shade, i don't love it though. It looks just okay on me, because i feel like it looks kind of brown... The shade is really pretty, but not specifically for me. I wish it looked better on me.
I like that the lipstick can be worn alone, it's annoying when I need to apply a lip gloss over my lipstick. So it's easy for application. I've never had a problem with the scent of this product, I don't notice it at all. I don't like the packaging though, the lid falls off so much easier in my purse then my other lipsticks, which annoys me so much.
I might repurchase this lipstick.
The only thing i like about this product is that it smells good but other than that i wont re purchase!! Believe it or not, its the same color as my lips!! so i dont know what differences it makes..... plus its kinda too creamy for my taste... disappointed!!
I bought this lipstick thinking it would be amazing since yt gurus rave so much about this lipstick. I tried it, and it's okay.. I really don't like the shinny cheap finish it has. It even has this interesting scent to it.. it reminds me of fresh flowers? I think? Idk,.. not very satisfied with this lipstick.. it's whatevers.
One of my favorite lipsticks. Its a real pretty dusty rose pink with gold undertones to it. Looks real natural on my lips, it smells good and lasts a long time.
This is just okay. I had heard great things and obviously there is quite a bit of popularity for this lipstick so I finally decided to buy it one day when I was on a lippie haul. I have other rimmel lipstick (pink champagne is a favorite) and I think I got a slightly dried out tube of AF. The color is subtle and not really flattering for me just makes me look like I'm wearing lipstick. It's not terrible I just prefer something that does something for my lips and this just doesn't.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this lipstick because I'd heard such good reviews on it...however this color was extremely unflattering on my yellow skintone. It was way too light and pink and looked odd against the rest of my face. Definitely would not purchase again.

After years of preparing, the Cleveland Cavaliers are finally starting to look like a real player for LeBron James this summer.
Early Wednesday morning, the Cavs were able to shed $9.5 million in a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, moving Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev to Brooklyn and Tyler Zeller and a first round pick to Boston. The Celtics also received Marcus Thornton as part of the deal. But the move was huge for Cleveland because it put Cleveland's total cap space at just under $22 million, more than enough to sign LeBron to the max contract he wants.
Now it seems the Cavs are intent on making Cleveland as ideal a destination for LeBron as possible. From his early Cleveland days, the big gripe was that LeBron never had any help, that management didn't do enough to keep him satisfied. With the Miami Heat, LeBron grew close to three-point specialists Ray Allen and Mike Miller…and now it appears the Cavaliers would be more than happy to add them both if it means appealing to James. Oh, and don't forget about James Jones either.
Sources indicate the Cavs are also in pursuit of free agent James Jones, who can stretch the floor–& just happens to be LeBron favorite.
— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) July 9, 2014
According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, the Cavs are actively pursuing Allen, while Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio is reporting Cleveland is also looking to add Miller. LeBron was close with his teammates in Miami and at this stage of their careers, they're the kind of role players you need to build a championship team. Allen is the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers and Miller shot nearly 46 percent from three-point range last season. Allen and Miller would both need to take pay cuts in order for this to work, since LeBron is eligible for a max extension worth $20.7 million. But according to Amico, the Cavaliers probably aren't done clearing cap space just yet:
Source says Cavs also "pursuing a big." Won't give names, but hearing from other sources outside organization that "big" is Kevin Love. — Sam Amico (@SamAmicoFSO) July 9, 2014
How the Cavaliers intend to pull that off remains to be seen, but Cleveland is now fully operating under the assumption that it has a realistic shot at getting LeBron James back. LeBron's agent Rich Paul and his family are rumored to be in Cleveland's corner, but the ultimate decision remains with LeBron James himself. Still, all these moves have to be appealing to a guy who still hasn't made up his mind and can hear home calling his name.

The No. 1 rule of The Amazing Race is to always read your clue. Kevin, 20, and Michael Wu, 58, failed to do so twice — illegally having a cab lead them to a location and then taking a cab — causing them to incur a one-hour penalty, which led to their elimination in Russia. "When we got to the Pit Stop, we had no idea we broke two rules," Kevin tells TVGuide.com. "That's why we were smiling walking up because when Chad and Stephanie had to go pay their taxi, we thought we were safe." See what else the father-son duo and YouTube sensations had to say about their time on the race, if Michael's heat exhaustion in Ghana was a factor and more.

I am always up for a fun project- especially one that is fun, simple and quick! I had one of these mini wooden crates lying around and thought I would make a little pumpkin/candy dish out of it. Heres what you need. A wooden crate- any size would do. In fact a large one could be made into a pumpkin with its bottom on the surface and using a side or both sides as the pumpkin. Since I had a small one I decided to use it on its side instead of its base. I have seen these for really cheap … [Read more...]

Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tamales
by glutenfreecat (Adapted from Squidoo and Natalie of Tasty Kitchen)
For the masa dough:
Prepare corn husks:
1. Soak corn husks overnight.
2. Take 3 large corn husks and tear them into 1⁄4 inch strips. Keep them in water until you are ready to use them to avoid breakage.
Prepare filling:
1. Cut poblano peppers in half and seed them. Brush with olive oil and broil until black spots form, 3-5 minutes. Flip and broil the other side for 3-5 more minutes. Peel skins off, and then chop the peppers.
2. Combine chopped poblanos, sweet potato cubes, 1-2 c. of the tri-colored peppers, mushrooms, and the green onions. Coat in 1 T. of olive oil and roast at 425 for 25-30 minutes on a foil-lined jelly roll pan.
3. In a large wok or skillet, warm 1 T. olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic until it begins to brown. Add black beans, tomatoes, roasted veggies, and cumin. Stir in cilantro and remove from heat.
Prepare dough:
1. Combine masa harina, salt, chili powder, cumin, and olive oil in an electric mixer on medium speed.
2. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add vegetable broth. After 3 3/4 cups, test the consistency of the dough and add more broth if needed.
Prepare tamales:
1. Lay two corn husks on a flat surface. Place 1/4 c. of dough at the top of a husk and flatten it. Pressing down with a plastic bag will prevent your fingers from sticking to the dough.
2. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling down the center of the dough.
3. Roll the corn husk so it wraps snuggly around the dough and tie it with a corn husk strip.
4. Stand the tamales up in a steamer. Add 2 inches of water to the bottom of the pot and steam for an hour or until the dough pulls easily away from the husk.
5. Share with LOTS of friends!
Makes 25-30 tamales

So I'm watching my sons friends pulled out of my car in front of our house, we just finished up a day at the lake fishing and goofing around.
Each of the 4 boys, all 15 to 16 years old come up to me one by one and say "Thanks Mom" and give me a big hug.
Yes, I'm that Mom. The Mom who all the kids call Mom and the Mom whose house is the place to hang out because my doors ALWAYS open.
This is the complete opposite of how I grew up. Nobody EVER came to my house, everyone was afraid of my Mom and didn't like the "vibe" in our house. Hugs were never given and the words
"I Love You" were NEVER spoken.
Words like "your being stupid, you look pregnant, or my all time favorite, you will never get it right" were common place in our house; but more then anything was the silence and the high expectations of me staying out of sight and out of mind.
I much prefer our crazy house of today. Lots of jokes, funny moments and hugs!
Flash ahead 3 years and I'm in college. Stopped by my mother's house to say hello.
Found my mother and my then 11 year old brother sitting in the backyard while my mother dyed my brothers hair Fire Engine Red.
The irony was not lost on me.
As I was waiting for my son to get out of school today, I sat in my car enjoying the warm son beating down on my now boney knees and thighs. Nutritional Deprivation has not been kind to my knee caps and the bruises on my legs are proof of that.
I started to think back to when I was in high school, a very difficult time in my life filled with painful words and stolen happiness.
I remembered the time my mother announced to me and anyone within ear shot that I "was not her daughter" and if I happen to be anywhere with her in public she would denounce my existence to anyone who would listen.
You see, I was 16 and I had just spent 2 hours at the hair salon downtown having my hair colored. I had platinum blonde foiled into my already blondish brown hair. We lived in the country about 30 minutes from the downtown salon. Lots and lots of never ending hills and ditches with no sidewalks or street lights along the way.
My mother told me I would have to walk home because she would not have me in her car. Stunned by her latest punishment I started my long walk home. This was well before the age of cell phones so seeking out help was not an option.
After about an hour and a half I found myself in a familiar neighborhood, it was at that moment I began to sob. I realized that even though I had walked for an hour and a half I still had hours of walking ahead of me and it was getting late.
I don't remember knocking on the door but the next thing I do remember was standing in the kitchen of a boy I went to school with whose mother was a foster parent to the boy I had a huge crush on for the past year. Neither boy was home but the mother saw my tears and immediately took me in and hugged me, only knowing my first name and the fact that I went to school with her son.
I told her what happened and asked her if I could use her phone. I called my mother at home and began begging her to come get me because I knew I couldn't finish the walk home.
My mother said that my problem wasn't hers but that if I wasn't home by 9pm (my bedtime) I would be on restriction for 2 weeks. Restriction was terrifying to me, it meant complete isolation. Your room was stripped of all wall hangings, all your personal possessions were removed and all you were left with was yourself and most times your bed, which you were not allowed to sit on until it was bedtime.
You were allowed out of your room to eat, go to the bathroom and to go to school; that was all and stepping outside the restriction barriers usually got you the belt on your naked backside and the loss of things like your hair dryer or the one item of make up you were allowed to wear.
I began to cry even harder begging my mother to help me get home. She refused and added to her threat that if I got a ride home I would really be sorry.
I hung up the phone and began to leave the house where I sought help from the nice mom who gave hugs.
She stopped me and asked if I wanted to stay with her and her family, if I wanted a safe place to live and call home.
As much as I wanted to say yes, I didn't dare. I knew my mother's wrath would be bad for any and everyone involved and I didn't want that. I just needed to get home before the clock ran out and I made my mother even angrier.
I reluctantly accepted a ride home from the boy I went to school with who was now home and trying to make me feel better by doing his best impression of the cool high school kid who wanted to help the crying girl standing in his kitchen being hugged by his mom.
As I left the mom hugged me again, told me I was beautiful and gave me their home telephone number in case I ever needed their help again.
In one day I had been hugged numerous times, told I was beautiful and rubbed elbows with one of the more popular kids at my high school. Three things that had not been usual in my life up to that point.
I asked to be dropped off about a mile from home. I knew she would know I hadn't walked but I thought that not pulling up in front of the house in a car was showing my mother the respect she demanded and expected from me at all times.
I managed to avoid restriction having walked in the door at about 8:30pm but the new "Not My Daughter" rules were in full force and the usual coldness of my mother's heart was beyond frigid now.
I was snapped out of this childhood memory by the sound if my 16 year old son throwing his backpack into the back seat and him jumping into the passenger seat next to me with his usual banter starting up the moment his bum hit the seat.
I smiled and thought to myself, "I'm driving my son home now and if he asked me to make any stops on the 30 minute drive home (he goes to school out of district) I would gladly make the stop for him because he's my son.
I've fought the good fight my entire life. Nothing has ever come easy and I have appreciated my little and few successes more then most know.
But why am I dying now? I feel like at age 42 my life is suppose to be starting. My children are all almost grown and heading into the world on their own. My husband lives quite separately from me on a daily basis and most of my lifetime friends have moved on and my childhood friends have drifted back into my life with open arms and memories.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still fighting but the days are long and I'm tired. I go to bed reluctantly each night, afraid of what sleep might bring.
I watch my life becoming shorter and shorter, and all I can think is how much more I wish I had given to, done with and cherished my children.

kkleiner writes "Hatsune Miku is a Japanese pop diva who's just started to play massive stadium concerts to sold out crowds. Her hair is blue, she dresses like Sailor Moon, and she'll only appear in concerts via a 3D 'hologram.' Oh, and did I forget to mention that she's completely fictional?

How does what we see become what we think and, in turn, guide how we see?
I study the interaction between vision and cognition. For example, what are the components of the reading process and how do they change when proofreading or speed reading? I also study how people combine looking with speaking or making decisions. I primarily use eye-tracking methodologies, advanced statistical techniques, and computational modeling to examine these issues.

Bruce Davison (born June 28, 1946) is an Academy Award-nominated American actor and director.
Davison was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Marian E. (née Holmes), a secretary, and Clair W. Davison, a musician, architect, and draftsman for the Army Engineers.

Davison made his Broadway debut in Tiger at the Gates in 1968. He also appeared as John Merrick in The Elephant Man and in The Glass Menagerie opposite Jessica Tandy. Davison was one of a quartet of newcomers including Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas, and Catherine Burns when he made his film debut in Last Summer in 1969.

"I just felt like it was the place I wanted to continue my football career," he said. "I had a good connection with the coaches and the teammates I met when I was there. I think they're headed in the right direction and it's the right fit."
Morris had five interceptions and 52 tackles in the fall for Mesa College and his size, cover skills and ball skills give him an opportunity to step in and make an immediate contribution in Corvallis.
"They definitely want me to come in and compete for a starting position. It's a big thing for me. It's all about getting there, picking things up and the quicker I pick it up, the quicker I can get involved with the team. If I come in and make plays, I should get the spot."
Morris plans to get to campus in late May or early June. At that point, his Division-1 goal will be complete.
A graduate of Julian High School in Chicago, Morris had 12 interceptions as a senior and was named his conference's defensive player of the year.
After having his recruitment take him out West and on an unusual path, he has advice for others who may find themselves in a similar position.
"If you go the JUCO route, my advice is to stay positive. I don't think JUCO is for everybody and it isn't easy, but you have to stay strong, stay focused and go in with the mindset that I'm here to get to the next level. It's better for you to do the right thing, stay out of trouble and remember your dream to play at the next level. The quicker you do that, the quicker you'll get out of there."

CHICAGO HEIGHTS | Down-on-their-luck Bloom Township residents may not be forced to give up their pets thanks to the efforts of the Best Buddies Pet Pantry.
The all-volunteer, nonprofit group based out of Chesterton has been providing free pet food in parts of Northwest Indiana for the last four years. In December, it partnered with the Bloom Township Center, 425 South Halsted St. in Chicago Heights, to do the same for township residents.
"Our mission is to help reduce the number of family pets surrendered to animal shelters due to lack of food and help keep families and their pets together during financial hardship," said Cheryl Plomann, founder and president of Best Buddies. "We're helping to provide food for over a thousand pets a month in the areas that we service."
Plomann is involved with animal rescue and has empathy with those who can't afford to feed their pets. Her family helped her feed and vaccinate her two dogs when she lost her job about five years ago.
When she moved to Chesterton, she and her husband, Don, began helping neighbors and fellow church members in a similar way out of their own pockets. Cheryl set out some donation boxes that started filling up and the Best Buddies Pet Pantry was soon born.
The pantry relies solely on donations. A full list of donation box locations, including six in Illinois, can be found at www.bestbuddiespetpantry.org.
The website also contains a listing of distribution sites, items needed and contact information for those who wish to donate or volunteer. The Best Buddies Pet Pantry phone number is (219) 728-1401.
The pantry, which can be found on Facebook, also provides pet supplies, such as cat litter, when available. It shares information on low-cost vaccine clinics and spay and neuter services.
"We had no idea when we first started the need would be this great," Plomann said.
Pam Clarage and Dale Elosh are the Illinois residents in charge of picking up donations at the drop boxes in their state.
"We repackage all the food in one-gallon-size containers and then on a monthly basis I deliver the food to (Bloom) Township," Clarage said.
The couple owns a dog and a cat themselves and Clarage thought the pantry was a good way to prevent people from not only surrendering their pets to a shelter, but also from turning them loose on the street.
"It's very refreshing to be able to give back to the community that we live in," Clarage said.
Anna Scrementi, general assistance director for the Bloom Township Center, said township residents who meet income guidelines can come to the center once a month to receive pet food at the same time they collect their own food basket.
Those who wish to only receive pet food would need to meet financial guidelines and fill out an application.
Scrementi said that currently about 40 Bloom Township residents receive food for their pets every 30 days.
She said giving out free pet food enables people to keep the their own food for themselves.
"Some of our seniors and some of our really low income clients, I know that they take the food that they get from the pantry and they'll give it to their pets," Scrementi said.
She said one woman from Steger who was going through a rough time was able to keep her two cats as a result of the help she's received from the pantry.
Plomann recalled the time her husband was doing fundraising at the Petco in Highland and witnessed a mother with her three young daughters come to the store with the intent of surrendering their 8-year-old dog.
She said the woman had been crying and Don learned it was because her husband had left her and she lost her job, which meant they could no longer feed the dog they had owned since it was a puppy.
Plomann said Don directed the woman to the North Township Trustee's office for a two-week supply of food.
"(She) came back like two hours later and went up to my husband and gave him a hug," Plomann said. "She said 'You saved my pet.'"

Details of Roush Crash Released
The NTSB has released the preliminary report on the crash of a Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA during the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis. (see page 46). According to the NTSB, the Premier, piloted by Jack Roush, was seen on amateur video "in a left base turn to final for Runway 18R. The airplane appeared to overshoot the runway centerline during this turn and then level its wings momentarily before entering a slight right bank simultaneously as the nose of the airplane pitched up. [It] then turned left toward the runway centerline and began a descent. During this descent the airplane's pitch appeared to increase until the airplane entered a right bank and struck the grass area west of the runway in a nose-down, right-wing-low attitude." As a result of the crash, Roush has lost the sight in his left eye and suffered a broken jaw and compression fracture of his back.

Controversy over Bulgaria's National Day
Communist Party (1981–1990)
Georgi Sedefchov Parvanov (Bulgarian: Георги Седефчов Първанов, IPA: ) (born June 28, 1957) is the current President of Bulgaria; he has been elected after defeating his predecessor Petar Stoyanov in the second round of the presidential elections in November 2001 and he came into office on January 22, 2002. Georgi Parvanov started his second presidential mandate following victory in the 2006 presidential elections. Parvanov supports membership of Bulgaria in NATO and the European Union. According to Bulgarian law Bulgarian president is not allowed to be a member of a political party thus Parvanov is independent and he left the Socialist Party after his success in the presidential elections, although of course he identified as a socialist. Parvanov often declares being a 'social president' as his election platform was such — focusing on social care for the "unemployed, disadvantaged and poor."
Georgi Parvanov was born in the village of Sirishtnik, Pernik Province on June 28, 1957 and he grew up in the nearby village of Kosacha. In 1975 Parvanov graduated the secondary school in Pernik and in 1981 he finished his undergraduate education at the Sofia University, by gaining a major in history, specializing in the history of the Bulgarian Communist Party. In 1988 Parvanov defended his doctoral thesis in history, which is titled "Dimitar Blagoev and the Bulgarian national question 1879-1917".

found in a variety of paleoenvironments (ocean, atmosphere, and land). Several potential causes for these events have been proposed, but without a more detailed understanding of the relative phasing of these events from region to region, definitive causal mechanisms cannot be constructed.
Of greatest consequence to humans is the fact that subdued versions of these events are documented during our current interglacial (the Holocene, which began ~11,500 years agoa). While subdued relative to earlier events, they are still sufficient to significantly perturb natural systems and still operate at rapid rates (years to decades). Thus, one of the most important tasks for paleoclimatologists is to improve our understanding of Holocene climate, for it is within the Holocene that the boundary conditions for modern natural climate variability can be identified and from which the relative importance of natural versus anthropogenic climate forcing can be assessed.
Patterns in climate variability can be identified on the interannual to millennial scale. This finding is particularly encouraging since one of the end goals of climate change research is predictability. However, deconvolving predictable patterns at the regional scale and determining the temporal baseline from which predictability can be assessed will require more dense spacing of paleodata.
Few instrumental records precede the era of anthropogenic involvement; thus, it is necessary to supplement and hindcast these data with paleoclimate records. The intended meaning of hindcast is to extend instrumental time series back prior to their onset date using proxy records. The assumption is made that a transfer function of some type links the instrumental and proxy records allowing this process. Fortunately, many paleodata series afford detailed views of pertinent climate indicators (e.g., temperature, precipitation, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), monsoon). On the other hand, since there are no true analogs in the paleoclimate record for modern or future climate, it is essential to utilize both modern observational and paleoclimate records to solve this complex problem.
New advances in paleoclimate research reaffirm the necessity to view climate change over varying timescales; utilize a variety of globally distributed paleoclimate records that monitor change throughout the Earth system; and focus attention on well-dated, highly resolved multivariate paleoclimate records. These paleodata are essential for understanding global environmental change and its potential impact on humans, assessing human influence on the global environment and for the evaluation of predictive climate models.
The research imperatives for paleoclimate are to:
Document how the global climate and the Earth's environment have changed in the past and determine the factors that caused these changes. Explore how this knowledge can be applied to understand future climate and environmental change.
Assumed format is calendar years unless specified as 14C years.

windows 95, 32 bit
Windows manual updates freezes - best course of action?
Firstly I'm no expert so any advice as how to proceed or correct links to instructions would be great!!
Someone I know has an Acer aspire running win 7 home edittion 64 bit.
There was an incident where windows wouldn't load so restored it from an image created last year.
Everything seemed to be ok until a group of 135 updates which failed to install. I checked the reasons why and it stated it was because it had been interupted.
after checking the updates there are a lot of 32 bit fixes which I was suprised to see seing as it's 64 bit..
anyway I tried switching off the AVG free and manually selected to install. this hung up and after 30 mins and showing 0% updates downloaded I cancelled it.
I also tried using the "fix it" ? tool which scanned and reported no problems to fix.
I was set to autoupdate and on each time it's shutdown it tries to re-install 135 updates.
I've had to turn off autoupdates(not recommended) but ideally would like to fix this problem.
One option I've seen mentioned on the interent is to totally re-install windows 7 but think there musst be a less drastic approach.
I have seen the steps mentioned so would they apply to the problems i'm having here??
in the meantime, he's got AVG fre version and spybot on. it could be another month or 2 before having another go at his laptop. what would the consequences be and the percentage risk of leaving it as it is?
