Updates from the Registrar's Office
Summer Session Course Registration Begins Earlier
Based on recommendations from the Enrollment Management Retreats in December and January, the Registrar's Office is pushing up the dates for Summer Session course registration for nonmatriculated students by five weeks this year, to April 21. Traditionally, these students began registering for classes in late May.
Registrar Mark Bausili believes the change will help with recruitment and revenue. Historical data from the Registrar's Office show that about one of every six students on campus during the summer months is nonmatriculated.
"This will be helpful for students who go to other institutions but are from the area and want to earn college credit while they are home for the summer," he said. "It provides an earlier opportunity to secure a desired class and might put Buffalo State in a better position compared to other local schools," he said.
Bausili also thinks the earlier registration will provide better reporting for deans, department chairs, and instructors to help them gauge demand for particular courses and sections.
Summer Session registration for current Buffalo State students began April 8. First-year students—the final group to register—begin registration tomorrow, April 17. Because of this year's advanced schedule, Bausili recommends that faculty advisers encourage all current students not to delay in registering for summer courses and ideally to register within two weeks of their start date.
In addition, new transfer students for fall 2009 will be allowed to register five weeks earlier than last year. University College will begin to register new freshmen on May 18.
New Advisement Tool
The Registrar's Office recently unveiled a new tool within the course listings to help faculty advisers more easily determine academic requirements for students. Now when the mouse cursor hovers over the advisement code for a course, a pop-up window shows both applicable codes and definitions.
For example, COM 100 Media Literacy, a class that meets in Summer Session A, fulfills requirements for humanities in GE2KA, GE2KB, GEC, and IF. Additionally, it fulfills an IF requirement in Technology and Society and a GE2KB and GEC requirement for Applied Science and Technology.
"Faculty have asked for this for a while," Bausili said. "Fortunately, we were able to implement it faster than we expected. Faculty now do not have to go back and forth between the online listing and the legend of codes."
Full-Load Scheduling
Bausili also said the recent push for students to take 15 or more credit hours each semester is going well. One hundred thirteen additional undergraduate students took 15 credit hours or more in spring 2008 compared to spring 2007. This semester, that number has risen by 222 over 2008.
Bausili said the new statistics are positive; the increased course loads help with retention and support timelier graduation rates.

Great highlighter, by far one of my favs for taking quick notes. Erases
perfectly with out leaving any smears of yellow behind. THe only promblem that I
have with this is that is that it sometimes smears the ink when earsing if the
ink isn't give enough time to dry before highlighting, and it always smears
pencil, even before highlighting. However, if you wait a while before
highlighting, or you earse carefully and slowly, it works perfectly. No probs

text:
I don't make a big secret out of being a Zen Buddhist. I'm not always a good Buddhist and I tend to refuse to follow things in some doctrine that I think won't work, but for the most part the term sufficiently describes me.
This isn't strictly inspired from my bird's eye view of Stack Overflow, or even Meta – it's something I've been noticing for quite some time at many places and the wisdom to articulate it just hit me, so I'm writing this. I could be completely wrong, I might have failed to follow this very advice in the past and perhaps my frequent travels to far away and strange places might be providing some insight that simply can't be obtained elsewhere.
What I see, is People seem to be growing increasingly intolerant and that is a major problem.
What I know is, tolerant people are generally happy, productive peaceful people who get every ounce of joy that they can out of life. They love waking up early, they love doing whatever it is that they do, from programming to waxing a floor. They smile when you accidentally bump into them and they give you a few bucks at the cashier if they notice you are holding up the line and tossing your pockets.
They don't honk their horns in anger when stuck in traffic, they make a serious effort to be pleasant even when they would really rather pull out their hair and they love the satisfaction that they receive by making someone else's day or life just a little bit better. They aren't too quick to judge and they seldom interrupt you even when you might be wrong.
The first step to becoming a tolerant person is playing one on the T.V. that is always left on in your brain. This requires a few seconds of something most people would call existential angst, but it isn't really. Imagine, if you would an alternate you that doesn't do or say things you really wish you hadn't done or said in the past. If it helps, imagine this person with a goatee, or clean shaven if you already have a goatee, or whatever you want to see yourself as a different person. Maybe this mirage never bit their nails, never got that scar from a bicycle accident, whatever suits you in a gender appropriate way. The point is, make this imaginary you first with some sort of obvious improvement. This becomes kind of like a clone that isn't programmed yet, now you need to program it. To do that, you need to learn a few things.
Lesson 1 – Defend only your self
Points come and go, beliefs come and go, experience often changes our mind on what we thought was core knowledge, sometimes decades after learning it. The point is, most of that stuff isn't immutable, there's no need to argue it once you've shared what you know. Still, since we are animals (after all) we do need to defend ourselves. An attack on your intellect isn't a worth while reason to fire rockets in retaliation, that just assures mutual destruction. There is nothing wrong with saying "this conversation can't serve any kind of useful purpose any longer. I'm off to more positive things." You aren't just being reasonable by saying that, you are speaking to the sense of reason in the person you might be about to argue with.
If some thug threatens your physical welfare in person, by all means, defend yourself. In ten years an argument you had on some web site will probably be moot anyway.
Lesson 2 – Abandon preconceptions
Isn't it interesting how different human beings are from ducks? Ducks look alike, we assume that they act alike. For the most part, when we see a duck, we can expect some sort of predictable behavior. They quack, they swim, they flap around and they breed. Unfortunately, we juxtapose this kind of simple categorization when dealing with other people all too often. Don't do that, every person is unique despite how similar they may seem to others who look and mostly act like them. Regardless of age, gender, race, nationality or education – people will always respond differently to frustration and criticism. While their output in response to the former might seem similar, the circumstances that shaped their mind are usually quite unique. That's the difference that a tolerant person takes time to mine.
The single, most egregious mistake that I often see people who I consider highly evolved and intelligent making is shutting out someone just because they happen to fit the pattern that some ten second assessment provided. Don't do that.
Lesson 3 – Go above and beyond
There is a Zen koan, I can't find a link to it that describes a master sitting by a river and meditating. A traveler approaches, promptly spits in the master's face and the master smiles. After a few minutes, the master asks "Do you have anything else to say?" A week later the traveler returns, and immediately apologizes, profusely to the master for the insult. The master smiles and simply says "why apologize?"
Not everyone is a Zen master, but we can all relate to being in a panic, being furious, being desperate or even being intoxicated. People make mistakes, the goal is to seek the rational person in your conversational partner. They'll cool off eventually, let them know the door is open once they start speaking in a rational and constructive manner.
Lesson 4 – Don't hold a grudge
Try not to hate, ever. Think of hate like ankle weights that collect over time. In a decade, you'll remember the people that you've decided to hate, but the reason why might seem fuzzy. For things that you'll never forget, try to remember that every human being is born to make mistakes and learn from them, sometimes those mistakes are huge. Sometimes, you grow enough to deal with arch enemies trying to get back into your life, other times you can't. It is important to realize that someone making reparations might have grown a bit, or to realize that they haven't yet decided to grow at all. Poking an age old fire is senseless, agreeing to put it out for good earns a friend. Sure, the other person might be stuck on some idiotic argument that happened years ago, but are you? Is the argument even valid any longer? Take out your trash, don't collect it.
Lesson 5 – Stay open
One of my earliest jobs was "IT Support" for a mental health clinic. This was back in the days of DOS, when threads didn't exist to me and life was good. The place I worked for was more or less a "halfway employer" funded by grants. They took people who were certifiably crazy at one time and offered sheltered employment in an effort to introduce these people back into the working world. Actually, it was more the stress of the working world that they were carefully introducing.
Stuff broke there consistently. From an ancient PBX to hand spliced coax (early days of Ethernet) I really had my hands full. This was interesting because my users were, indeed at least at one time certifiably crazy and usually on at least two types of medications.
The most notable experience is with a person we'll call "Huck". Huck was assigned to a job of re-labeling cans of peaches. He had a problem sitting still as well as a problem objectifying others. Since I was the only one that actually picked up the phone, I took the following call:
Huck: I can't keep doing this
Me: Doing what?
Huck: These labels! I can't do it
Me: (wondering where his case worker went) Why?
Huck: IT'S SEXUAL. I JUST CAN'T
This particular individual stood at almost seven feet in height with over 300 pounds of mass. Think 'redneck' in the ultimate sense then add in schizophrenia. If I didn't take this call, way beyond what I was supposed to be doing, a bear would have segfaulted. I was pretty sure I knew what was up, since I attended most meetings.
Apparently, being sedentary and working with a hot glue gun (the hot part of the glue is what set him off) is what he could not deal with. I figured that out in about five minutes, went to 7-11 and delivered a few tubes of super glue. All was well.
The point is, you don't know what you're dealing with until you openly engage someone in a friendly way.
I'm not saying that everyone should follow this to the letter, it's just some of my experience and adventures that others might find useful.

On Jan. 28, the Coginchaug boys traveled to East Hampton and were drubbed 84-40.
The Blue Devils kept the first period competitive, allowing only one 3-pointer, and with scores from beyond the arc by Cam Powers and Conor Doyle, and twos from Powers, plus another bucket inside the arc by Devin Rodrigue, the score was 12-12.
However, from there, it was all downhill for the local boys.
In each of the remaining periods, East Hampton scored a minimum of 22 points, with at least four treys in each frame, while the best the Devils could manage was 13 points, with only five points coming in the third period.
East Hampton finished 14 of 30 from 3-point range, and from inside the arc shot an astounding 16 of 19 (84 percent).
Matt Booth led the Bellringers with 21 points on seven treys. He was followed by Marvin Gorgas (16), Colin Parks (14), Jake Vickey (12) and Matt Vasquenza (10).
The only double-digit scorer for Coginchaug was Rodrigue, with 10 points. Josh Smith was the leading rebounder off the bench with six boards. Powers and Zach Terrill netted seven points apiece.
With the loss, Coginchaug fell to 6-4 (5-4 Shoreline Conference).

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD-ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power wise, we see that the ASUS P5Q is able to draw a bit less than the P35; its efficiency is quite impressive.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboards, this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Here we see that the GIGABYTE's heatpipe manages to remove heat quite a bit better than the ASUS design.

Got this because I wanted a new felt tip liquid eyeliner and heard good things about Kate so I bought this for around $9 USD. Not that impressed because I've gotten better results with a liquid eyeliner that was around $2. I do like the felt tip and the fact that it's in a pen makes applying very quick and easy and it dries fairly quickly. However, this is not as black as I would like and staying power isn't terrific. Quite average for the price although it isn't a horrible product.
It is a nice liquid eyeliner. Very easy to use. However, it is very hard to remove. Anyone knows which eye makeup remover can 100% remove kate liquid eyeliner?
New for Fall 2007. I love this liquid eyeliner! It comes in the form not unlike a calligraphy brush pen, so applying it is more like drawing than painting. The color is a more pronounced black than the Super Sharp liner, and even though the tip is thicker, I think it's very easy to control the thickness of the line. I can still get a very fine line with this, but maybe it depends on how steady your hand is. Wait a couple seconds after you draw before touching you eyelid, or else it will smudge; afterwards, it stays put. Even though the color is pretty black, I do wish it was a true jet black. Still, it's a winner!

I run Noctivity, which dreams up crazy ideas and tries to make them real. We've done Lowfares.com (sold in 2007), FareMonkey (sold 2005), Taper, SimplyHeadlines and DMVCheatSheets.com (check it out). Before that I created cPulse, sold to Freeride.com in '99 then Gartner (NYSE:IT) in 2000. In 2010, I was featured on Forbes.com as "Inefficiencies Worst Nightmare," which is pretty cool.
I'm also the co/founder of Wecora, which has been called "crack for interior designers" by, well, interior designers. Wecora is changing the way interior designers work with their clients and vice versa, hopefully for the better.
I believe in sir, maam, Mr and Mrs. I believe that just because you follow someone on Twitter doesn't mean you know them and should call them by their first name.

"Winning" in business should mean both people are happy, it makes life easier.

More About Joel Bervell : Favorite quote: "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." --Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Joel Bervell Caring for Ghana's children Age: 17 School: Kamiak High School Hometown: Mukilteo, Wash. Gender: Male Category: Social Activism and Justice Social Media: Facebook Twitter Through the organization he co-founded, Hugs for Ghana, Joel raises money, supplies, donations and more to change the lives of children in Ghana. Hugs for Ghana has provided more than 6,000 school supplies and collected $5,000 worth of medical supplies and more than 6,000 stuffed animals in just four years -- and Joel is helping to lead the charge. The 17-year-old spends more than 500 hours each year planning supply drives for his organization, and he's not stopping there. He hopes to partner with Microsoft to bring computer labs to Ghanaian schools, set up student-exchange programs between Ghana and the United States and establish a pen pal network. "As high school students, I feel we [at Hugs for Ghana] bring a different type of vision to the organization, one that can't be found in most organizations that are run by adults," he said. "We're simply a group of students who are passionate about volunteering and wanting to make the world a better place." Powered by Livefyre

Morning click: Vampire Weekend's celeb-tastic new video; a debut from Beach House; Abbey Road not for sale
- Boosted by a silly Jake Gyllenhaal cameo in which the actor gets drunk and rips off a pair of tearaway pants, Vampire Weekend's new music video was the talk of the blogs this weekend. RZA, Joe Jonas and Lil Jon also make appearances as scorekeeper, poor sport, and morale booster, respectively. Wasn't Ezra Koenig just born to wear a sweatband?
- Rising Baltimore band Beach House has debuted a very pretty new song on Sirius XMU called "The Arrangement." It will be released on their "Zebra" EP due out April 17.
- EMI has abandoned plans to sell famed recording studio Abbey Road, AP reports. The struggling music group is now considering holding onto and revitalizing the property, which it says has been losing money for years.

WEST HAM UNITED v WEST BROMWICH ALBIONBARCLAYS U21 PREMIER LEAGUE ELITE GROUP STAGE FRIDAY 8 FEBRUARY 2013KICK-OFF: 7PMREFEREE: STUART BUTLERiPHONE APP I TWITTER I FACEBOOK I PODCAST
West Ham United 2-0 West Bromwich Albion 90+2: Referee Stuart Butler draws the game to a close to round off an excellent evening's work for Nick Haycock's young side. That's six points out of nine for West Ham in the Elite Group, a fine start. 90 mins: James Hurst tries his luck for the visitors but slashes his effort horribly wide of Larkins' right-hand upright. We're into injury time. 87 mins: As the clock ticks down Skipper Callum Driver makes way for Frazer Shaw. There's a worrying moment for Ruddock as he misses his kick in the box. No harm done, as the Hammers scramble the ball to safety. 85 mins: Little more than five to play here and West Ham look pretty comfortable. The ball sits up nicely for Lletget on the edge of the penalty area and though his strike is clean enough, it's the wrong side of Palmer's left-hand post. 82 mins: Nick Haycock withdraws the excellent Lee, with Nathan Mavila coming on in his stead. It ends another hugely impressive run-out for Lee. 79 mins: The Hammers have the ball in the opposition half and are very content to keep it there. Moncur is somewhat harshly penalised and the visitors fling the ball upfield. It comes to nothing, as Sawyers is unable to keep the ball in play. 75 mins: The visitors make their first change of the evening, as Samir Nabi replaces Isaiah Brown. Seconds later, Lee is bearing down on goal and unleashes a vicious effort across goal, which Palmer does well to claw away. 73 mins: Lovely football here from the home side. Ruddock flicks the ball into the path of Potts, who in turn controls instantly to set West Ham on their way once more. 71 mins: Albion doing their best here to get a foothold in the game. Though they are seeing more of the ball, it's not happening for them in the final third. West Ham in control. 69 mins: Paulista's enjoying himself out there, he gets to the by-line and dinks a delicate ball to the near post. It's too close to Palmer who gathers, with Lee lurking just behind him.64 mins: GOAL! Paulista doubles the Hammers' advantage, meeting Potts' inviting centre with a bullet header across Palmer, there's no stopping them! That's a third goal in three starts for Paulista, some record. 60 mins: Moncur goes into the book for an ill-timed challenge near half-way. Moncur is having a word in Mr Butler's ear as a corner comes in from the left. It's got too much on it and is no concern to Larkins in the West Ham goal. 59 mins: At the other end, Sawyers climbs highest to meet a left-wing centre, only to see his header nestle on the roof of Larkins' net. Close. 57 mins: The Hammers have another decent sight of goal, but this time it's Paulista who has the opportunity. The frontman spins and from an acute angle drags his shot wide of the near post.
54 mins: Neat play down the right frees Lletget, who squares to Moncur on the edge of the box. Sadly, Moncur scoops his effort over the bar. A disappointing end to some excellent approach play. 49 mins: West Ham, buoyed by the goal, are having the better of it just now. Moncur finds Bywater on the right, whose cross is dangerous and calls for some last-ditch West Brom defending to clear their lines. 46 mins: We're back underway here, with neither side making any changes at the interval. West Ham on the attack straight from the off, as Lee, with a spring in his step drives towards the box. He's off balance as he goes for goal and his shot flies wide of the near post. 45 mins: GOAL! It's that man Lee who puts West Ham ahead, right on the stroke of half-time. And it's a cool finish to boot. He's one-on-one with the 'keeper and slots a neat finish into the far corner over Palmer. That's two in two for West Ham's No 11. The half-time whistle blows almost instantly and the Hammers are good value for a slender first-half advantage. 43 mins: There is a decent crowd in this evening and they're already dashing from their seats for some half-time fare. Meanwhile, the Baggies have another sight of goal, as a cross from the right finds Sawyers, who nods wide at the near post. 40 mins: Lee switches wing and after collecting from Bywater, flips a ball into the middle looking for Paulista. The Brazilian is being tightly marshalled and the ball drifts over his head and out for a goal-kick. 37 mins: There's trouble here for West Ham, as they surrender possession in their own half. Romaine Sawyers is ready to pull the trigger but Pelly Ruddock gets in a toe and gets a whack for his troubles. 35 mins: West Ham wisely looking to play it into Paulista whenever an opportunity presents itself. He does well, again, on the edge of the box, but the ball is smuggled away and the chance gone. 32 mins: Paulista has a right old battle on his hands on the edge of the box. The ball eventually drops at his feet but his effort flies high and wide. 29 mins: The ball drops to Amos Nasha on halfway, who looks up to see Paulista and Lee darting in behind. His ball, however, is overhit and is easily collected by the 'keeper. 27 mins: West Ham look to be in business as Lee races clear down the left flank, but much to his disappointment he is halted in his tracks by an offside flag. 23 mins: Plenty of industry on show but both sides are struggling to pick a pass in the final third. A long ball looks for Bywater down the right but Tom Smart nips into win possession and snuff out any danger. 21 mins: After a breathless start, the game has settled into a rather more sedate rhythm now. Bywater takes the ball flush in the face but to his credit is straight back to his feet. On a cold night like this, that would have stung! 18 mins: West Ham still having the better of it, but the Baggies have already shown they are a threat on the counter. The Hammers win a free-kick in their own half and it will be Jordan Spence to launch it long. It's not the best and is all-too easily cleared. 15 mins: At the other end, Sebastian Lletget should really score. He's clean through on goal, only to be foiled by 'keeper Palmer. Not for the first time this evening, West Brom look unsettled from a corner and the ball is hooked clear from underneath the crossbar. 13 mins: Decent chance that for the Baggies, Kemar Roofe latches on to a low cross, but can only divert the ball over the crossbar from no more than six yards out. He wants a corner but there's nothing doing. 12 mins: It's Paulista again in the thick of things, as he attempts to play in the in-form Elliot Lee. Lee, however, is flagged offside. It looked close. 11 mins: Paulista shows his class, chesting down a long ball with the minimum of fuss. Kieran Bywater is unable to profit, however, and the ball rolls harmlessly behind for a goal-kick.9 mins: Driver plays a neat one-two and wins a corner for the home side. The Baggies struggle to deal with the resulting centre, but a wayward drive from the edge of the box gives the visitors some respite. 7 mins: Potts has made a fast start down the left and very nearly marks his return with a stunning goal, as his 25-yard drive flashes inches past the post. 4 mins: The Baggies respond in kind, winning a corner on the far side. The set-piece is a clever one and is worked out to Adil Nabi, whose volley is comfortably gathered by Larkins. 1 min: It's the Hammers who get us underway here at Rush Green. West Ham are stroking it around rather nicely at present. And there's an early chance as Dan Potts fizzes a low cross inside the box, the offside flag however comes to the visitors' rescue. 18:45pm: The teams are in and Nick Haycock makes two changes to the side that lost at Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. Having recovered from a concussion sustained at the Emirates Stadium, Dan Potts returns in place of Frazer Shaw, while Kieran Bywater comes in for Matthias Fanimo.West Ham United U21s: Larkins, Driver (c), Potts, Nasha, Spence, Ruddock, Bywater, Moncur, Paulista, Lletget, Lee. Subs: Piquionne, Brown, Shaw, Onariase, MavilaWest Bromwich Albion U21s: Palmer, Hurst, Smart, Birch, O'Neil (c), Atkinson, Roofe, Allan, Sawyers, A Nabi, Brown. Subs: Pace, Rose, Wedderburn, Francis, S Nabi Good evening and welcome to Rush Green for tonight's Barclays Under-21 Premier League Elite Group fixture between West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion.
The Hammers currently lie in fifth place with three points, after recording a 2-0 win at Arsenal's London Colney, followed by Monday's 3-2 reverse at Tottenham Hotspur.
Tonight marks the Development Squad's first home fixture of the competition's second phase, owing to a scheduled clash with Liverpool in January which fell foul of the weather. Including this evening, three of West Ham's next four contests are at home, with Southampton the visitors next Friday, before the Boleyn Ground plays host to Manchester United on Friday 1 March. West Bromwich Albion are likely to provide a stern test this evening, with four points to show from their opening two matches. The Baggies earned a creditable 1-1 draw away to Arsenal, prior to Monday's 1-0 win at home to neighbours Wolverhampton Wanderers. They are, however, yet to topple the Hammers this season, courtesy of a 1-1 stalemate at the Hawthorns and a 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at Rush Green. We will have team news for you shortly, while there will then be live text updates from kick-off at 7pm.

Ottica Cassano hosts exhibition of Autofocus 5 winners a
The project that won the competition promoted by VANNI eyewear with the collaboration and support of the association of young Italian artists is on display in Molfetta
VANNI and Ottica Cassano have taken the freshness of young Italian artists to Molfetta, where their refined spaces are inspired by the visionary expressiveness of two Turin artists. Mattia Macchieraldo and Flavio Palasciano, the winners of the fifth Autofocus competition, exhibited in Turin during contemporary art week and are now at Ottica Cassano.
The Macchieraldo/Palasciano exhibition is a journey of discovery. Geographical exploration is the core of their work that also includes three-dimensional aspects. It is not an travel exhibition: these are imaginary adventures, the real quests lie within ourselves. On paper, in the microscope slides or in the photographed tubs there is a "scientific illusion", said Olga Gambari, who selected their project from the many that were received. A poetic play of conceptual and perceptive deception that links history, science and art to the past and the present.
The exhibition is scheduled for Saturday, February 8, from 6pm to 10pm at 39 Via XX Settembre, Molfetta. At that time it will be possible to see the entire collection of VANNI vision and sun eyewear. Created 25 years ago, the brand is now one of the international protagonists in the eyewear designer market and is synonymous with originality. The guests of the evening will receive an exclusive VANNI accessory in acetate.
Anyone interested in taking part in the next Autofocus art competition and would like to receive the announcement in advance can leave their details at the event.

QB's injured ribs have improved enough that he could see some action on offense. Terry McCormick
Tim Tebow's injured ribs have healed enough that he could be ready to resume his role as the personal protector on punt teams for the New York Jets.
And he may be able to work back into the Wildcat package if the Jets choose to use that formation Monday night against the Tennessee Titans, according to the New York Post.
"He moved around great," Rex Ryan said. "This is the best he's looked in several weeks. There could be a chance that he does Wildcat. He moved around that good that we may get him back in similar roles."

MISSOULA - Jordan Johnson told the jury he didn't rape his accuser, he also said that no means no and that he respects that. Johnson told the jury on Wednesday his account of the night last February when the alleged victim said he raped her. Their accounts don't differ much, until after the two took off each others shirts and were kissing in bed.
GREAT FALLS - Law enforcement agencies are still investigating the reported disappearance of Nicole Waller in northeastern Montana. Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry says a car belonging to Waller was found abandoned February 14th in Poplar on the Fort Peck Reservation.
COLUMBIA FALLS - Plum Creek has announced that it plans to restart production at its Evergreen sawmill in Montana in early April. The facility will operate with one shift and employ 30 people, according to a news release. The mill has been shuttered since June of 2009 because of a lack of demand for stud lumber products.
HELENA - The Montana Legislature will be asked to sign off on a controversial agreement which outlines how water will be managed in the Flathead Basin in the coming decades. Although there are still questions over how the agreement will impact irrigators in the Mission Valley, the panel that's spent years working out the Flathead Water Compact believes it's done what it can to come up with a workable agreement.
ST. IGNATIUS - A Lake County Sheriff's deputy and his partner were driving along U.S. Highway 93 just south of Saint Ignatius early Saturday morning when they heard a thump on the passenger side of their vehicle. They turned their patrol car around to investigate and found a small owl that was apparently chasing his breakfast when he ran into the moving car.
HELENA - The Montana House of Representatives passed two tax relief measures on Wednesday. The first bill, sponsored by Rep. Scott Reichner (R-Bigfork) would reduce taxes on every property owner in Montana; it passed in a party line vote. The bill has a price tag of about $50 million per year.
From the StormTracker Weather Center: A Pacific storm will bring a better chance of showers to Western Montana Thursday and Friday. This storm does not look to be very strong. The mountains will see light snow accumulations, while the valleys will generally just see a chance of scattered snow showers under a mostly cloudy sky. High temperatures on Thursday will warm into the high 30 to lower 40s.

The busy actress, entrepreneur, and mom of two told us what daughters Honor and Haven are watching and reading these days, why the name Nicki Minaj was big in her house last month, and why the portrayal of girls and women in media matters to her.—As told to Abby West
The baby is into kind of touch-and-feel books, cardboard tactile books. In the kitchen, once and a while when I'm cooking, I put on Little Pim, super basic language learning DVDs that have little characters. And Honor, she's into movies, nothing too scary. She did see Brave, wearing her costume and everything. She said there was one scary part, when the mom turned into a bear, but she brings up Merida all the time. She made quite an impression. She also likes Nick Jr. and is really into Dora. She watches most of her kind of movies and television on the planes. And we travel a lot, so she gets into it on the planes. And I'm so appreciative of it.
As far as the iPad goes, she has a princess dress-up app or the Cookie Doodle, make your own cookie app. But I always make her do an educational app too, like a spelling app. She doesn't have a great attention span when it comes to that. She usually ends up going to the photos and taking photos of everything and video.
She loves anything with a princess or a mermaid or a fairy. She has no discretion. We could just go on and on with that. And the princess books we have are all about princesses also helping people who are in need, who don't have the things we have. I try to give her a spin on it so it's not just about a prince coming in and sweeping you off your feet and that's the best day of your life. A princess's job is to help with the children who don't have clothes. Or to help clean up the planet. That's something I talk to her about. Real princesses give back to the earth and they're kind to animals [laughs] and I try to tell her that's what being a princess is. Not just that you're born into that family.
She loves Dr. Seuss books, obviously, and is into Olivia. But Dr. Ted is another book she's obsessed with. It's about a little boy who pretends he's a doctor for the day.
We're really into trying to do as much of an educational spin on it as possible. We encourage her to ask questions along the way. We're not into propping our kids in front of the television and letting that be the time they spend at home. I'm really into arts and crafts and mixing up the media and pop culture we expose them to.

Although many fashion labels are still releasing ad campaigns for the spring and summer season, it seems like the Witchery AW11 ad campaign is a few steps ahead of the game. Not only that, but its dark, dashing photo shoot piques interest because of its mysterious tone as well.
Featuring both men's and women's fashion, the Witchery AW11 ad campaign relies on its backdrop as much as the clothing. Architecturally stunning, there's a Gotham feel to the whole campaign.

The nice agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force stopped by to visit this morning.
It seems they take an active interest in those of us who photograph the Transamerica Pyramid at two a.m. LOL. They were very nice. I neglected to ask them in or offer them coffee. It wasn't intentional; I was just preoccupied. I kinda sorta mumbled that two a.m. is a good time to take night shots because there's no one around to compete for sidewalk space, pedestrians, etc. The only thing that bothered me about the entire "visit" was that when I volunteered my place of employment they politely cut me off with a "We know" before I could finish. So, as I sit here and reflect, it occurs to me that they do indeed already know where I work, and where I use my debit card, and what sites I visit on the Internet, and what time my vehicle passes through the toll plazas... etc, etc, etc. --which thoughts I balance against the following thoughts-- One of my ex-next door neighbors lost his son on 9/11 and one of the physicians that I was working with at the time lost his father and his brother that day. The agent was kind enough to "put me on his list" so that if they receive anymore calls about my presence that they'll already know who I am. ROFL. Well now, that's quite a blessing isn't it? I guess I'll live. With any luck we all will. MichaelAT |
Follow-Up Postings:
Gee thanks Michael. Now I'm going to have nightmares. |
Back during the Bush Sr. reign, anyone actively involved in anti-Bush politics got put on a list too--and black helicopters would sometimes hang over your back yard while you were weeding the garden. For real, folks. Spooky. Kate |

Back in a country I came from instead of being questioned you just get wakened in the middle of the night by angry loud knocking and then get dragged off into the middle of the night by "the police" sometimes you come back home sometimes you don't. Nice visit? I don't think so. Betty |
Do we get to see the pictures that caused the grief? |

Yes, pics please! betty, was it the AVO? If so, we have friends there and my empathies [of course empathies otherwise!] MAT, thanks for sharing! OMG. I can't be shocked as certain military positions [mostly] of many of my family and family friends have left "people I know" in a bizarre realm of knowing that this sort of thing definitely goes on! Dad has the best story of inviting his 'tail' over for a drink with the guys on a Germany trip in the late 70's. I couldn't go on the Europe trip in High School because they tagged on a special visit to the USSR [bummer still that I missed that]. My good friend from then-Yugoslavia couldn't do the Eastern Bloc either, and my little hometown friends were mystified at the actual existence of these sorts of realities! "My xxx designed w@rheads" "Oh, mine was nuclear physics!" "Kewl!" The funniest for me and my best friends involved a couple of years where it was 'clear' that things were being recorded, etc, [nobody believed me 'cept Dad'n'folks] but that ended up being for a white-collar crime of one of Dad's partners in knitwear, of all things. Dear Lord the conversations on that home phone... I shudder to think, lol. He's still in prison, actually. Knitwear! Life is just bizarre sometimes. Welcome to The Club, muahahaha ;) |
spooky pal I am getting a HUGE laugh at Patrick's response. Sorry Patrick. Carla |

- Rights offerings present common stock to current shareholders at a discount. Rights can be exercised, sold to another party or given as gifts. They cannot be sold back to the company for cash. If rights are not exercised during a brief window of opportunity, they simply expire.
The article Understanding Rights Issues details the various options available to investors when a company issues rights.
- Warrants are certificates entitling a bondholder to buy other securities, at some point in the future, at a specific price above the current market price. If the price of the security exceeds the warrant's exercise price, then the investor can buy the security at that price and resell it immediately at a profit.
Warrants generally have longer expiration periods than rights do, and they may have no expiration date at all. They can be detached from, and traded separately from, the bonds with which they were issued.
Discover the advantages of this high-return investment tool within the article What Are Warrants? - American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are issued by U.S. banks and represent shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange. For American investors, ADRs help to simplify the process of investing in foreign companies by denominating the investment in dollars, providing a more convenient local market and lowering transaction costs.
