I am sure he doesn't want to call his friend a Liar. But I agree, try to call the Beekeeper and verify.
For the good of the hive, a queen will lay the egg of her own destruction!
He said above that the beekeeper didnt want the hives, so FREE BEES FOR OP
Well theres a queen cell right in front so they want to replace her.
I say squash her, and transfer some open brood from another hive so they have to raise a new queen
Nice response from Olive Garden, I dont fault them at all.
Still there has to be someone who makes similar bottles. I wanna know! They are pretty and I would buy some!
I would contact Olive Garden Corporate, they may be able to provide the manufacturer name. Got a pic of this Jar? Now I am curious.
Number 3! Swarm Traps! It a Gold mine of Bees!
After freezing a frame that was like that, I gave it back to the bees. Two weeks later the bees cleaned it up and are using it like any other comb
I have seen people make the peices 1 inch longer then it should be (top and bottom) and then assemble the boxes. Once assembled, using a table saw, cut a half inch off the top and a half inch off the...

I was driving along the 5 Freeway in Salem OR and saw a couple of hives at the edge of a farm. the hive boxes were dilapidated and some didnt even have a hive cover, just left out in the air.... No...
If the bees are building comb in the wrong direction, move the whole hive so its parallel with the direction they are trying to go.

I caught a swarm last year in July and they overwintered fine. Check craigslist for nucs and buy it up and FEED FEED FEED

He may have been trying to mate with her, but she declined because they are from the same hive.
Just a guess.
I wish someone would give me an old forgotten hive!
Sorry couldn't help myself.
Add a frame of empty brood comb
Add a frame of open brood
add a drop or two of lemon grass oil

Honor in the Dust
The historical lessons of Gregg Jones's exhaustively researched book about the US's campaign in the Philippines deserve to be remembered.
George Santayana, the eminent Harvard philosophy professor, novelist, and poet is widely known for his prescient observation: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." However, his lesser-known, but similarly poignant quote, "Only the dead have seen the end of war" is just as applicable in Gregg Jones' extraordinary new history of America's campaign for conquest of the Philippines, Honor in the Dust.
Jones's extensive research details the efforts of United States Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt to subdue the Filipinos following America's defeat of their previous occupier, Spain, in the Spanish-American War of 1898. His account dovetails perfectly with two other recent books about contemporaneous events: Julia Flynn Siler's "Lost Kingdom" – about American colonialism in Hawaii – and Evan Thomas's "The War Lovers," about US adventurism in Cuba. One of Jones's main theses is one pre-eminent world powers struggle with to this day: that the line dividing liberation and conquest of less powerful nations often becomes blurry and can move with the ease of sharpened skates on fresh ice.

A Bo Schembecler disciple as an offensive coach. I lked Bo. But, him and modern day offense shouldn't be in the same book. Oh, he went to college to coach and failed 18-37. Went to the Chargers and was handed a boatload of talent. Led the league in scoring. Then in the playoffs. He wanted to show everybody how smart he was by spreading the ball around. Unfortunately for Charger fans he forgot to give the ball to the best football player on the planet. Color me happy he's in Miami. In the words of John McEnroe; "You cannot be serious!"
I don't think anyone should describe the 2002 Chargers as "a boatload of talent" and be allowed to get away with it. And there didn't seem to be much wrong with his offense this year or the year before, or the year before that. And, as we all know, coaching in college is much different from coaching in the NFL. Maybe he's not a good recruiter? Maybe he's not a rah-rah guy? He did make bad playcalls late in our playoff game. And he's presiding over what looks to be a mess of a roster. But I think the primary reason he won't be successful in Miami is that he'll be competing with Belichick and Mangini each year, and if Mangini keeps it up those look like long odds. Even Jauron up in Buffalo accomplished more than anyone thought this year. In a way, Cameron is stuck with a situation much like the one he had in Indiana, stuck with a franchise that is, at this point, second rate against the big boys.
Just to let you know, Indiana averages about a 3-9 season every year. That record would come out to about 4-8 each season. Indiana isn't Penn St. and Michigan, or even Minnesota. Give him a shot... all he has to do is get the offense clicking, since Capers is a great DC.

Fall 2005
T C PHL610 • Problems of Knowledge and Valuation
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
41885 to 41900 | Multiple Sections |
Sainsbury |
Course Description
First semester: Moral theories and problems. The aim of this semester is to consider some classical philosophical theories of morals (including those propounded by David Hume (f. 1750), Immanuel Kant (f. 1780), and John Stuart Mill (f. 1860), and apply them to some current moral problems (for example, capital punishment, torture, animal rights). We will try to improve our views on these problems and consider how theory and practice can interact constructively. Course materials and work will be channelled through Blackboard.
About the Professor Mark Sainsbury taught at the University of Essex, Bedford College London, and King's College London before coming to the University of Texas at Austin in 2002. He has written five books (Russell, Paradoxes, Logical Forms, Departing from Frege and Reference without Referents).
Grading Policy
There will be eight 15 minute in-class tests. Apart from the first of these (which will take place in the fourth class) the timing of these tests will not be announced in advance. Each test generates 5% of the total marks. Three short essays, maximum 1000 words each (10% each) and a term paper, maximum 4000 words (30%) are also required. Deadlines for these assessed pieces of written work will be announced on the first day of classes.
The main text will be Steven Cahn and Peter Markie (eds): Ethics: History, Theory and Contemporary Issues. Everyone should also read A. Martinich's Philosophical Writing (preferably 2nd edition) within the first month of the course, though it will not be discussed in class. Background Reading: Jostein Gaarder: Sophie's World. This is a history of philosophy in the form of a novel. Specially useful for orienting the philosophers and topics of our work within a broader framework. Peter Singer: Practical Ethics provides good supplementary material on the more applied part of the course.

A bipartisan group of legislators representing the libertarian right and the liberal left are teaming up on a bill that would end the ability of the National Security Administration to collect bulk metadata on the phone calls and emails of American citizens.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), House Judiciary ranking Democrat John Conyers of Michigan and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) developed the legislation, dubbed the USA Freedom Act. The measure would rewrite Section 215 of the 2001 Patriot Act and relevant portions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to require spy agencies to adhere to a well-defined standard of relevance before ordering the collection of information from private companies.
The new restrictions are expressly intended to cramp the NSA's avowed investigative practice of assembling as much communications information as possible and using advanced data analytics and human investigators to comb for possible links to detect hostile activity.
The metadata collection was first exposed by news sources reporting on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. In a declassified court ruling, the government acknowledged the collection of "telephony metadata," including originating phone number, recipient numbers, routing information across networks, duration of call, and mobile device identification numbers. This practice runs contrary to the intent of Congress when it reauthorized the Patriot Act in 2006, Sensenbrenner said at an Oct. 9 event at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, D.C.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner wants to curtail the gathering of metadata on Americans.
"The government claims it needs the haystack to find the needle. But gathering the haystack and making it larger without knowledge that it contains the needle is precisely what the relevance standard was supposed to prevent," said Sensenbrenner, author of the original version of the Patriot Act.
The USA Freedom Act, which is short for the unwieldy title of "Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet Collection and Online Monitoring Act," takes a similar proposal by Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Conyers a step further. The Amash amendment, which the House narrowly rejected in July, would have ended bulk collection only for the one year period governed by an appropriations bill. The Sensenbrenner bill would rewrite the underlying statute.
The new legislation would also change the way secret FISA courts go about approving requests for data collection by creating an Office of Special Advocate to address privacy concerns. Sensenbrenner said the measure would throw "the rubber stamp the FISA court has given to what the NSA and Justice Department have requested into the trash heap of history."
Under the proposal, private companies tasked with data requests on users and customers would be able to speak publicly about the number of requests they received and complied with.
Efforts to change the bulk collection rules face headwinds in Congress, according to Sensenbrenner and Sen. Ron Wyden, who also spoke at the Cato event.
"We know that the defenders of business as usual are adopting the language of reform, but continuing to argue that Congress should only make very small changes, rather than big, meaningful ones," said Wyden, who cautioned against writing rules for bulk data collection into law.
"Putting a Congressional imprimatur on invading the rights of law-abiding Americans is a mistake that Congress would regret," the Oregon Democrat said, arguing that it would justify the collection of other types of records under the Patriot Act.
Sensenbrenner expressed a similar caution in an Oct. 8 letter to Attorney General Eric Holder. "The strained legal argument the Obama administration relies on for [metadata collection] authority would seem to justify the dragnet collection of other types of personal data as well," he wrote.
Sensenbrenner called out the chairs of the Intelligence Committees in both chambers, saying that proposals by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) would serve as a "fig leaf for the intelligence community to do what it wants to continue to do."
Feinstein, however, is generally supportive of the NSA program. In a recent hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Feinstein said that the bulk metadata collection programs and other intelligence community activities would give U.S. spies an opportunity to detect another 9/11-style plot. "I will do everything I can to prevent this program from being canceled out," she said.
Legislation by the two committee chairs would codify NSA's bulk collection authority while placing restrictions on how the information is accessed and adding transparency provisions.
While House and Senate leaders appear to be unified in opposition to a rewrite of the Patriot Act, members on both sides of the aisle in both chambers are advocating change. In addition to the Sensenbrenner bill, a group including Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and others is expected propose legislation to end bulk collection.

This is a step in right direction however The Patriot Act goes way to far. It creates a fear of government, inhibits free speech, creates a fear of retribution by secret government organizations using secret courts. The thought of this is frightening. Those that say "if you have nothing to hide, why should you fear?" That is what those in power want you to say. We then become subservient to their will. Do not give up any of our rights of freedom.
This is good. Then we need to criminalize such activity, and activities (such as sponsoring bills, or caching citizen's communications data) that endorse or may be used in support of such activity.

Results tagged ' Roberto Alomar '
'Cruz' through history
By Craig Muder
They stood together in the Museum's archive, father and son of Major League Baseball fame.
Jose Cruz Sr. and Jose Cruz Jr. have 31 big league seasons between them. But nothing prepared them for their visit to Cooperstown.
"This is unbelievable," said Jose Cruz Jr., in town this week with his children – Jose Sr.'s grandchildren – for a youth baseball tournament. "The history is here… guys that I played with, Hall of Famers… . I'm still here and I can't wait to come back!"
The pair and their families visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Tuesday. Jose Cruz Sr., a 19-year big league veteran best known for his 13 years with the Astros, looks remarkably the same as the smooth left-handed swinger who knocked line drives around the National League during the 1980s. Now 63, Cruz paid special attention to two exhibits: One featuring new Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar, who like Cruz was born in Puerto Rico.
The other exhibit? One featuring Hall of Famer Stan Musial, who was an executive with the St. Louis Cardinals when Cruz signed with the team as an amateur free agent in 1966.
"Stan the Man was my hero," said Cruz, now a special assistant to the general manager for the Astros.
Jose Cruz Jr., 37, is only three years removed from a 12-year big league career that saw him hit 204 homers and capture a Gold Glove Award for his outfield play in 2003. A student of baseball history, Cruz Jr. tested his father on baseball trivia throughout his visit.
Father and son, bonding through baseball. Seems fitting during a week that will feature the annual Hall of Fame Classic on Father's Day – Sunday, June 19 – in Cooperstown.
The connection – even at the game's highest level – remains unbreakable.

Talking baseball in any language
By Craig Muder
After 14 years of waiting for his call to Cooperstown, Bert Blyleven learned how to relax at election time.
So during his first full day as a Hall of Famer on Thursday, the Dutchman reveled — and poked a little fun — at his moment in the sun.
"I guess they figured it was (the year) twenty-eleven, so it was Bly-leven time," said the 287-game winner who was born in Zeist, Holland. "I'm just glad they finally got it right."
Blyleven's Class of 2011 teammate at the Hall of Fame, Roberto Alomar, was clearly humbled by his election. After falling just eight votes short in 2010, Alomar charged passed the hallowed 90-percent mark in this election.
"The last year was difficult," Alomar said. "But it was all worth it."
The media turnout for Thursday's press conference in New York City was robust — especially among Spanish-language outlets. Alomar enthusiastically provided responses in his native language and acknowledged the influence his home country, Puerto Rico, on his career.
Blyleven, however, was unable to provide answers in Dutch — drawing a hearty laugh from the writers when the suggestion was made..
"Hey let me answer that," Blyleven said when a reporter queried Alomar in Spanish.
No, the Dutchman doesn't speak Spanish. But he and Alomar let everyone know what a thrill it was for them to join baseball's best in Cooperstown.
In any language, Cooperstown translates into immortality.

Sept. 30, 1972: Clemente records 3,000th hit
By Thomas Lawrence
Thirty-seven years ago Wednesday, Roberto Clemente recorded a career milestone.
On Sept. 30, 1972, Clemente and the defending world champion Pirates were taking on Yogi Berra's Mets at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. Clemente, a native of Puerto Rico, was hitting an impressive .311 heading into the season finale against New York.
Batting third against Mets starter Jon Matlack, the eventual National League Rookie of the Year, Clemente looked to push his career hit total of 2,999 into an historic category. At the time, only 10 other players were members of the 3,000-hit club, and only three — Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Stan Musial — had done so in the latter half of the 20th century.
Clemente, aside from being a world-renowned humanitarian, had a chance to become the first Latin ballplayer to reach 3,000 hits.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Clemente led off against Matlack after striking out in his first at-bat. Clemente promptly roped a double to the Three Rivers outfield — the 3,000th and last regular-season hit of his exceptional career.
But it wouldn't be his last impact on Major League Baseball. The Pirates won the National League East and were set to take on Sparky Anderson's Reds in the league's championship series. Clemente only had four hits in the five-game series loss, which officially unseated the 1971 world champions, but a double and a home run were among the four hits.
After 18 magical seasons of watching Clemente control the diamond as few ever did, the world was dealt a huge blow when Clemente was killed on Dec. 31. Flying to Nicaragua to deliver goods to earthquake victims, Clemente was the victim of a plane crash that took his life at the young age of 38.
But to dwell on Clemente's tragic passing is a disservice to the incredible life he led — one which began on Aug. 18, 1934, in Carolina, Puerto Rico. One of more than 200 Puerto Rican players to play in the big leagues, Clemente remains the commonwealth's all-time hits leader, 276 in front of runner-up Roberto Alomar.
Clemente became the first Latin American player to be elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973, and dozens of artifacts from Clemente's life are housed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown. In the brand-new �Viva Baseball! exhibit, which celebrates the Latin influence on the game, Clemente is recognized alongside other Latin American stars.
A No. 21 Pirates jersey retired on Opening Day 1973, a scrapbook of newspaper clippings covering his untimely passing and the "Roberto Clemente Memorial Album" vinyl record are all on display in �Viva Baseball!.
"Roberto Clemente touched us all," Pirates pitcher Steve Blass once said. "We're all better players and people for having known him."

2009 Hall of Fame Induction Blog
Steve Light, the Hall of Fame's manager of museum programs, ran a live blog from the 2009 Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cooperstown. Readers of his live banter had the ability to comment or ask questions.
11:00 a.m. Good morning everyone, and welcome to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's official live blog for the 2009 Induction Ceremony as we get ready to induct the Hall of Fame's newest members, Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson, and Jim Rice. My name is Steve Light, and I am the manager of museum programs here at the Hall of Fame. Right now I'm sitting on "Radio Row" here at the Induction Site – The Clark Sports Center. I'll be bringing you live updates on the ceremony all afternoon, so stay tuned and send me your questions and comments.
The Induction Ceremony is just about two and a half hours away. Right now Hall of Fame staff and volunteers are busy wrapping up all the final preparations. Wondering about the forecast? Right now it's mostly cloudy and 75 degrees. We do have a threat of isolated thunderstorms this afternoon, but hopefully we'll stay dry for the ceremony.
11:10 a.m. The crowd has already started to build here. In fact, some fans set up chairs to stake out their spots yesterday morning. If you are in or near Cooperstown, don't forget that the ceremony is free and open to the public! If you can't get here, you can catch live coverage on the MLB Network beginning at 12:30. We will also stream the ceremony live on our website, www.baseballhall.org
11:16 a.m. Red Sox Nation has turned out in full force this weekend to celebrate Jim Rice. Catering to the crowd, the big screen next to the stage is playing highlights from the 2004 Red Sox season.
11:35 a.m. 51 Hall of Famers have turned out to welcome their three newest members this weekend. Of course, today is not just about Jim, Joe, and Rickey. We will also honor J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner Nick Peters, and Ford C. Frick Award winner Tony Kubek. Peters covered the San Francisco Giants for 47 years, 1961 – 2007. Kubek has worked as an analyst for NBC's Game of the Week, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the New York Yankees for 30 years. He is also the first exclusively television analyst to win the Frick Award.
11:36 a.m. [Comment From Kevin Brazee]
Do you know who will speak first Henderson or Rice?
11:36 a.m. Great question Kevin! The final order has not been decided yet, but Jim Rice will likely speak first.
11:53 a.m. We've had a great weekend here in Cooperstown already. On Friday our annual PLAY Ball! with Ozzie Smith event raised $10,000 for the Hall of Fame's Educational programs and gave some fans the opportunity of a lifetime to interact with Ozzie, Wade Boggs, Harmon Killebrew and Eddie Murray on Doubleday Field. Yesterday at the Clark Sports Center a crowd of over 750 people watched four families' compete against Dick Williams, Goose Gossage and Ryne Sandberg in our annual Connecting Generations, a Family Feud-like game show. Harold Reynolds served as the host.
11:56 p.m. The gates have opened in the seated sections and fans begin to stream to their seats as the excitement begins to build. Just about an hour and a half away.
12:04 p.m. Red Sox Nation isn't alone here in Cooperstown this weekend. The section 3 seats directly behind me are filled with Oakland Athletics' gear. Feel free to send any questions you might have about today's Induction Ceremony, and be sure to include where you are from!
12:17 p.m. Let's talk some stats now, starting with Rickey. Henderson is the 44th player elected on the first ballot. He received 94.8% of the vote from the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Henderson played in 10 All-Star games, won three silver sluggers, and was named the 1990 AL MVP. During his 25 year career he set career records for runs, stolen bases, and walks. The records for runs and stolen bases still stand. Rickey also holds the single season steals record, and led the league in steals a record 12 times.
12:22 p.m. Jim Rice was elected on his 15th year on the Baseball Writers ballot, receiving 76.4% of the vote. He joins two other famous Hall of Fame Red Sox leftfielders, Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski. In his 16-year major league career Rice was one of the most feared sluggers in the American League. He was an 8-time All-Star, led the league in home runs 3 times and won an AL MVP in 1978.
12:25 p.m. [Comment From C Itle]
I can't find the stream link. Could you please post it here?
12:26 p.m. The live stream will be posted on the Hall's website at 12:30 eastern time. Just visit www.baseballhall.org.
12:30 p.m. Nine-time All-Star Joe Gordon was elected on the pre-1943 Veterans Committee ballot. He received 10 of the 12 committee votes. Gordon was a member of five World Series winning teams, and won the 1942 Most Valuable Player Award. During his first six seasons, Gordon and the New York Yankees won five pennants and four World Series titles. He was traded to Cleveland in 1946, and helped lead the Indians to their World Series title in 1948, hitting 32 home runs and driving in 120 runs.
12:33 p.m. A lot of people are asking who is representing Joe Gordon here today. It will be Joe's daughter, Judy Gordon.
12:35 p.m. A note for all you fans out there who might be attending a major league game today: save your tickets! The Hall will grant free admission to all fans who present a ticket stub from a major league game bearing the date July 26, 2009. This opportunity is good right up until next year's Induction.
12:47 p.m. I'm getting some more questions about where to find the televised broadcast, so for those joining our live blog late, you can catch live coverage on the MLB Network (their broadcast has already started!) or you can stream them onto your computer via our website, www.baseballhall.org.
Casey is on stage warming up for his annual presentation of "Casey at the Bat". That surely means the start of the ceremony is getting closer.
12:55 p.m. With Joe Gordon, Rickey Henderson, and Tony Kubek all being honored today, it's no surprise that Yankees GM Brian Cashman has arrived and is in the audience for today's ceremony. Another notable name spotted in the audience: Keith Olberman.
Right now on the big screen, 2009 Steele Intern Daniel Sampson interviews MLB Network commentator and former major leaguer Harold Reynolds.
1:00 p.m. [Comment From Fitz – Boston]
Have you seen Freddie Lynn in the crowd? Any other Rice teammates?
1:00 p.m. Haven't seen Fred Lynn, Fitz. But Dwight Evans is in town.
1:05 p.m. Other former teammates expected today: Dave Henderson and Bob Montgomery for Rice and Dave Stewart for Henderson.
Casey is at the bat on the Induction Stage right now, 25 minutes to go!
1:11 p.m. Can't make it to Cooperstown today? How about tomorrow morning? We conclude our Hall of Fame Weekend festivities with our annual Legends Series event right here at the Clark Sports Center. Rickey and Jim will sit down for an interview to reflect on their experiences this weekend, which must have been a whirlwind for them. Tickets ($10) are still available by contacting the Hall of Fame's membership department.
1:17 p.m. Well if Brian Cashman is here for the Yankee Inductees, it shouldn't surprise you that the Red Sox's John Henry and Larry Lucchino are here to support Jim Rice (and of course Rickey Henderson, who played for the Red Sox as well).
1:24 p.m. Five minutes to go! Who do you think will get the biggest cheers as the Hall of Famers are announced?
1:30 p.m. The Hall of Famers are on the stage, we're just about ready to go.
1:30 p.m. And Rickey and Jim have just arrived on stage, to a great ovation from the crowd.
1:37 p.m. President Jeff Idelson and Chairman of the Board Jane Forbes Clark offer welcoming remarks. As Ms. Clark points out, 51 of the 65 living Hall of Famers are on stage today. Where else can you get such a collection of greats in one place at one time?
Now the MC of today's ceremony is introduced, George Grande. George begins the player introductions.
1:40 p.m. George did a great job having fun with fans and introducing the Hall of Famers during the Red Carpet Arrivals event at the Museum last night as they arrived for a private reception. If you are ever in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend that is definitely an event to check out.
1:47 p.m. [Comment From Shawn Anderson, Illinois]
Which Hall of Famer elicits the biggest hush when he enters the room? Meaning…who makes everyone stop what they are doing?
1:47 p.m. Great question Shawn! I can't speak for everyone, but for me I am in awe any time I see Willie Mays.
1:48 p.m. Biggest ovation yet? Yaz get's a prolonged standing O.
1:52 p.m. Juan Marichal is introduced. Juan was at the Hall of Fame earlier this year as we opened a brand new exhibit on baseball in the Caribbean called �Viva Baseball! If you haven't seen it make sure you come on out to Cooperstown!
Speaking of new exhibits, the Hall also has a brand new exhibit this year entitled Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream. Hank is introduced, and the fans deliver another loud ovation.
1:58 p.m. And now this year's Inductees are introduced, along with Judy Gordon on behalf of her father.
The Red Sox fans make their presence known as Jim Rice is introduced, while shouts of "Rickey" echo through the crowd as George Grande introduces "the greatest leadoff hitter of all time."
2:12 p.m. A bit of rain has moved in but it hasn't dampened any spirits. The ceremony is going to be moved along a bit however due to storms expected later this afternoon. After the invocation and national anthems, it's Joe Gordon's turn! Bud Selig reads the inscription on the plaque as Hall President Jeff Idelson presents it to the crowd.
2:12 p.m. Judy Gordon takes the podium.
2:16 p.m. Judy talks about how her father reached out to Larry Doby in his first ever day in the major leagues as he desegregated the American League. "This was not an isolated incident. This was how my dad lived his entire life." She then notes that today marks the 11th anniversary of Doby's Induction into the Hall of Fame.
2:19 p.m. Here's an interesting story about the 1948 season with the Cleveland Indians, in which Gordon hit 32 home runs. According to Judy, he received a case of Wheaties and a case of gum for every home run he hit. Judy Gordon: "As I remember, even the dog got more athletic eating the Wheaties."
2:24 p.m. A very touching moment and a loud standing ovation here as Judy Gordon concludes by indicating that her family considers Cooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame as her father's final resting place where he will be remembered forever.
Next up: Jim Rice.
2:25 p.m. Anyone have any special memories about watching Rice play? Send them along!
2:28 p.m. Jane Forbes Clark welcomes Jim to the Hall of Fame family, and Bud Selig reads the inscription on his plaque as it is presented to the crowd. Later tonight, that plaque will join Gordon's and Henderson's as the Hall of Fame's curatorial staff will hang them with the other 286 in the Hall of Fame Gallery.
2:29 p.m. The crowd breaks out into a chant of "Let's Go Red Sox!"
2:36 p.m. Where was Jim when he received the call that he had been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame? Watching The Young and the Restless.
Jim thanks the Boston Red Sox, with whom he spent his entire major league career. Not only did he help lead them to the AL pennant in his rookie season, but from 1977-1979 he became the only player in big league history to record 35 home runs, 100 RBIs, and 200 hits for three consecutive seasons. One of those years, 1978, he hit 46 home runs and drove in 139 on his way to earning the AL MVP.
2:41 p.m. Another standing ovation for Rice as he concludes his speech, stating that he cannot think of a better place to be – with his fans and with the greatest living ballplayers.
Now, it's time for Rickey. The fans here have been waiting for this since the announcement in December.
2:46 p.m. The cap on Rickey's plaque? The A's of course. The inscription on his plaque begins "Faster than a speeding bullet…." As Selig reads off all nine of Rickey's team, a loud ovation from the crowd as the Red Sox are mentioned. Now: Rickey takes the podium.
2:47 p.m. Any special memories of watching Rickey play? Send them along!
2:51 p.m. Rickey says that he played so long (25 seasons!) because of his love for the game of baseball. Apparently his dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders, but his mother was afraid he would get hurt and told him to play baseball. As Rickey points out, mothers always know best.
2:53 p.m. Wondering who Rickey looked up to as a kid? Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Reggie Jackson. Three of them are up on the stage behind him today.
2:54 p.m. Rickey's nine teams ties him for second place among Hall of Famers with Goose Gossage and Hoyt Wilhelm. Anyone know who's first?
2:59 p.m. The answer to that previous question: Dan Brouthers.
Rickey's take on his nine teams – it was a great chance to meet fans all across the country. Henderson: "It is the fan who make the game fun. To the fans: Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your support over the years."
3:01 p.m. Rickey closes his speech by stating how humbling it is to now be considered in a class of the greatest players of all time. He receives a prolonged ovation from the fans.
3:03 p.m. Don't go anywhere folks – we have plenty of ceremony left, and we haven't yet heard from Tony Kubek or Nick Peters! Now on the big screen – a video of Stan Musial (who could not be in attendance tonight) playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" on his harmonica.
3:09 p.m. On the stage now we have George Grande and Billy Williams remembering 1969, as it is the 40th anniversary of that season. An incredible season perhaps best remembered for the Miracle Mets.
Billy Williams is the spokesman for the Hall of Fame's Membership Program. Billy thanks all Hall of Fame members out there for supporting the Hall and helping to keep baseball's history and tradition alive here in Cooperstown.
Now Don Sutton takes the podium to introduce this year's Ford C. Frick Award winner, Tony Kubek. Sutton points out that his first day as a broadcaster was spent sitting alongside Kubek.
3:15 p.m. Tony's turn. He points out Moose Skowron, his first road roommate, who is sitting just to the right of stage today.
Of course, Kubek played baseball himself, for nine seasons with the New York Yankees, making four All-Star games.
3:24 p.m. Tony speaks about how the game of baseball has pioneered so many of the changes in American culture, drawing particular attention to the racism and bigotry that Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron overcame during their playing careers, breaking down barriers in the process. This draws a loud ovation from the crowd.
As a member of the Hall's Education department, I'm glad to see Tony mention this. At the Hall we try to teach our visitors about how baseball has been at the forefront of many changes in American culture.
3:29 p.m. Kubek closes and Jane Forbes Clark returns to the podium to present the J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner, Nick Peters. Peters covered the Giants for 47 years, more years than any sports journalist in history. David O'Brien, President of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, comes to the podium to introduce Peters.
3:32 p.m. Here's a good Rice memory:
3:32 p.m. [Comment From Scott Downer]
I was at a game in Cleveland in 1979. I saw Rice his a pitch out of old Municipal Stadium that cleared the center field wall, I'm going to say 410. The ball never got over 20 feet off the ground. I've never seen a shot lie this one. It must have gotten out in two seconds. Just a blast.
3:37 p.m. Nick Peters talks about listening to Red Sox games on the radio on Sunday drives with the family. His idol? Ted Williams naturally. Peters then recalls how he learned how to do math through computing batting averages and other statistics. Sounds kind of like the Batter Up math unit that the Hall of Fame uses to teach kids across the country using video-conferencing technology
3:42 p.m. Nick Peter's closes by pointing out that he was able to do something he loved without every having to go too far from home or looking for another job. While he laments that the Giants never won a World Series in his 47 years covering them, he also points out that the A's won 4 of the 6 they played in during that span.
With that, the ceremony concludes! The rain held off. One last round of applause for the class of 2009.
3:48 p.m. So don't forget to get the 2009 Hall of Fame Weekend on your calendar now, the last weekend in July as always!
It's never too early to start thinking ahead to next year. On this year's ballot, Andre Dawson received 67% of the vote, with Bert Blyleven receiving 62.7%, and Roberto Alomar will be on the ballot for the first time.
3:50 p.m. The weekend isn't over yet, as Jim Rice and Rickey Henderson will be back here tomorrow for a special Legends Series interview on the Induction Stage.
I think it's about time for me to sign off. But before I do I'd like to thank you all for joining me this afternoon, and hope you enjoyed the coverage! Don't forget to log onto www.baseballhall.org for more coverage of Hall of Fame Weekend 2009!

Real Title: The British Banned Guns On Our Founding Fathers & It Brought About A Revolution
January 22, 2013 by Tim Brown
......Many today don't realize that we are facing the same sort of tactics by our own Federal government that our forefathers faced from the British just prior to the War for Independence. In fact, I'll venture to guess that most people never were taught in school what follows in this article. That's right, gun control is nothing new now, nor was it even new in the twentieth century. It was very much alive in the eighteenth century. So when someone comes along telling you "the founding fathers wouldn't have envisioned this or that" with regards to arms, just remind them of what they faced during their lifetimes when the primary weapons were single shot muskets and cannons.
......Patriots the heard of the Acts determined that they would fight and die rather than see such laws enforced upon them by the British Army. The Patriots of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, resolved: "That in the event of Great Britain attempting to force unjust laws upon us by the strength of arms, our cause we leave to heaven and our rifles." Interestingly enough, a South Carolina newspaper essay, which was reprinted in Virginia at the time, recorded that any law that required the military to enforce it was "necessarily illegitimate," according to David B. Kopel.
......Ultimately, do you know what started America's War for Independence? That's right, it was a tyrannical government that soft peddled "self-defense" while banning firearms and gunpowder.

Carefully pressing against the side of the house, Bartholomew had paused to listen. At first he didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, then shouting. No it was more like raving, frowning, Bartholomew listened a little more closely. Over hearing one of the guards mentioning the name Alistar, the thief's lip twitched. Perhaps a little bit of his old self poked through enough to give him an overly uneasy feeling. While this could prove to be a decent distraction, only moments later, he spotted a guard. Tensing but then quickly moving closer to the shadows, the thief accidentally bumped into a second. Without even thinking and with a swift and agile motion, he had an arm around the man's neck and a hand over his mouth to keep him from shouting out. Naturally, this did not go over too well with the captured party. Thrashing about, Bartholomew had to hold on for dear life to keep from being thrown. This was causing too much commotion, and with the added momentum of the thrashing, he threw his weight into a swift pulling action, breaking the man's neck. The two dropped to the ground with a heavy thud, not wanting to stick around Bartholomew took off towards the back of the house where he found a smaller window that lead down into the basement. With a quick look around and the sound of hurried footsteps drawing closer, Bartholomew dove down and slipped through the window.
An agitated groan escaped him, it was dark, cold, and he was almost certain that he was standing in something freezing and wet. He could only guess as to what it was, but rather than stick around and ponder it, he started feeling around for an exit. Working in the dark was nothing new, but he'd never been in this room so anything he knew about working in the dark didn't really work here. Or at least it didn't for a little while, he'd walked and tripped over something that felt an awful lot like stairs. They were stone so he was able to haphazardly climb them until shaky fingers grazed over a wooden door. At first, Bartholomew only gave it a light push, but it felt like there was something heavy in front of it. Growling, he pushed a little harder, still nothing. Taking a half step back and growing more aggravated, Bartholomew threw caution to the wind and threw his whole weight into the door. It had been enough to jostle whatever was in front of the door. Grinning, he did this again and again until the door and the old wooden shelf in front of it toppled forward. Not expecting it to do that exactly, Bartholomew had toppled with them and landed rather haphazardly on the floor.
Groaning and coughing from the dust, he was met with the kitchen. Figures, but the noise he made would not go unnoticed. Scoffing, he glanced around, gaze falling on a pile of old rusty pots and pans. A deviant smirk split across his face when an old frying pan caught his attention. Not exactly subtle, but it would due. Carefully unburying it, Bartholomew swiftly moved towards the kitchen door and out into the short hallway. Only a few doors away, he saw a faint glow. Sticking to the shadows, he could only guess that Ao was there. Just being that close, just knowing that he was only a few steps away, and once more...that damned second in command was there. Hands twitching slightly before clenching into fists, Bartholomew was finding his chosen path a bit more treacherous than originally thought. With all that commotion outside, tension was no doubt high which meant that the man would not be caught off guard, and Noach wasn't one to be caught off guard easily in the first place. He wouldn't let this go though, he couldn't let it go. Eyes narrowing, Bartholomew gripped the handle of the pan and made his move.
Not making a sound, the thief dashed forward and swung the makeshift weapon right at Noach's head.
Location: Outside Ao's office
With: Noach
Mood: Paranoid, angry, betrayed, vengeful, nervous
Health: Nauseous and having difficulty breathing

Rihanna is definitely an independent woman, so after Drake told her she was too needy, she wasn't about to wait around! HollywoodLife.com learned exclusively that she's showing him she actually doesn't need him at all!
Drake may have been all over Nicki Minaj at Summer Jam, right in front of Rihanna, but she's not letting him get to her — at all. Ri Ri is staying busy with a ton of things, like meeting up for a dinner date in Cali. with Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin.
Rihanna Without Drake — She's Doing Her Own Thing!
So is she still in touch with Drake? Not so much.
"Hell no! She's doing her own thing and working hard and showing men that she, too, is about her grind," a source close to Rihanna told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Her "grind" is definitely paying off! On June 8, she was out with Chris Martin for dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, and there's a good chance they're talking about making music together. They have worked together in the past — in April 2012 he asked her to be on "Princess in China," and they filmed a steamy video together for the song.
Drake's Moving On (Or Backwards)
So she's definitely not waiting around for Drake! Plus, he's been doing his own thing, too. When he's not cozying up to Nicki, he's hanging out with his ex, Zoe Kravitz! They were reported "all over each other" on June 3 when he attended a Lolawolf show (her band) in Toronto.
He claimed once he wasn't into "do overs" but we know he dated Rihanna after they had split, and now he's back to Zoe.
What do you think, HollwoodLifers? Is it good that Rihanna is proving to Drake she's fine without him? Do you think it may win him back? Let us know!

Rihanna does not have IG anymore. When she comes back on it will be EPIC. Watch for it prob around her album release. Drake is a dirtbag he's a master manipulator like the person below stated and he likes her family pictures to make Aubrih fans think they are on good terms, but they are not. RIHANNA don't want NOTHING to do with his ugly whory azz. He's lost her for good, and believe me she ain't sweating him.

Dude can't sing for his life and got big cause he sings about lost love mushy crap or whatever makes everyone think he's lonely. Goes on tv interviews like ellen and says he can't get a girlfriend they leave him after one date meanwhile banging every broad under the sun, especially at that time during the interview he was banging Ashley moore girl that's in his hold on video and had his hoe Free by his side esp at his birthday bash. But people don't know that cause he never allows his hoes to take pics with him but she was sitting right down at a table when he was blowing out his birthday candles. But this guy makes it seem as if he was a priest last year. A real life fraud this guy has everyone fooled with his charm and wit and poor me I can't find a good girl bullsheet. It's nauseating to me I can see thru this con artist don't know why others can't. Jealous of chris brown cause chris is real what you see is what you get with him. Chris no fake or phoniness that's why he hates fake drake and never wanted Rih with that perv. I'm sure he'll be entertaining plenty of whores this weekend at his usual HAW bash. Gonna turn out to be just like his dad 70 and still entertaining whores.
Posted at 11:53 AM on June 10, 2014
Isn't it HAW this weekend. Drake will have his usual round of thots, strippers, hoes, whores to go through. He's going to be so busy chopping down 4 hoes a night he might not be able to perform the next night. Hope he bought packages of condoms. Oh wait that's right he likes it raw, the dirty pig. Don't worry Rihanna ain't going back to this trashbag. I wonder if he shaves down there for his whores. Maybe he'll get lucky and someone can make him a daddy just like he says he wants. Liking pics of other people babies probably gets him in the mood. One day he's going to find the nearest hospital or clinic for some antibiotics. But that's why they say never trust a jew they cheap.

Whoa some of these comments. I understand why some fans might be upset with Drake because after all they been through to come together only to tear apart literally weeks later. It's like losing a relative you just found or losing someone dear to you. Rihanna fans hate to see her get hurt because she's been through so much, I don't like to see Rihanna hurt either. I like her music and I like her as a person. I find her unique, her own person and stands on her own feet. People thought that Drake sang these love songs for her and in interviews always admired her that they would have this picture perfect relationship but things on the outside aren't what there cracked up to be. Maybe they needed this time to see if it was real, kinda like what she did with Chris, but these 2 guys are really not the ones for her. My mom always said you need to kiss a lot of toads to find your prince. She's still young and full of life. Too young for a serious relationship if you ask me and those guys are even younger in mind. Guys mature later than girls proven fact. So let Rih enjoy her life and her career, the right one will come along eventually and then people will say Drake and Chris who?
Garbage article

She was not needy. I'm a psychology major the reason why he found her needy is because Drake has never been in a relationship more than 2 months therefore he thinks anyone staying with him that long is needy. He can't be in a relationship for more than that because he doesn't like commitment, something he says he wants but deep down doesn't want cause he's afraid. His dad was not around growing up and his stems from his childhood and having to support his mom as an actor and growing up in a single mom household. He even stated his dad came around during the summers but not much more financially or emotionally. He has issues because of that therefore he cannot stay with one person long enough to bond with them. This is why every woman he dates he falls in love with and sings about them. Just the opposite he's the needy one he's still trying to find something that's missing in his life.

It's amazing that JLO and Melanie Griffith had breakups this week yet HL only writes one article about them. Rihanna and Drake have been over for months now and this is what the 20th article since. C'mon HL stop printing these stories they are getting old and boring. How much can we hear about the same thing, she's too needy, he's with other women, blah blah who cares. Let them both live their lives.

What's wrong with being a little needy? He should have taken that as wanting to be with him so he finds that offensive. What a jerk, see that's why men don't understand women because they think wanting to be with them all the time is sign of neediness or weakness. Rihanna probably wanted to establish a relationship early on being that she's so busy now and he saw it different. Men are so different than women. geesh. I bet Kevin Hart wouldn't have found that as needy or any of those men at the award ceremony the other night. They would have said bring it on Rihanna you can be NEEDY all you want with me.

HL please stop linking these 2 together. It's over and done with. Rihanna has moved on, making music and being with family. She doesn't need any guy in her life especially one who thinks she's needy. He can have those strippers I'm sure he won't find them needy only when he's gotta toss them some coins. I nominate Drake to be on the biggest loser cause he's the 2014 biggest loser award.

so true—- the unattainable is desirable. That was Ri for Drake– unattainable. Here's a good one for you — Ri was Drake's "Daisy". However, when faced with the fact that she really loved him, he just couldn't handle it. Don't be too hard on him because we all wanted this relationship to work. Maybe they'll find their way back to each other?

People were worried about Chris. This jerk Drake is a doucehbag. Chris actually really loved Rih, made some mistakes cause of his mental issues but was in love with her. This bozo has a beautiful woman and then tells her she's too needy. Well faggot she don't need your faggot azz that's for sure. Go screw a big booty stripper that's all you can get hoebag.

Im not sure where this thread should go but since this is the area where the Leo Encounters were posted, I figured I should put it here.
Before anyone groans about another Leo encounter thread, I am not trying to rehash the arguments or change anyones mind about things. If youre the least bit interested in reading this, youll find out why I am posting. If you dont want to read this, I guess you wont really miss much.
I am a CPA. This time of year, I put in a lot of hours so Im a little tired.
Funny thing is that during this time, my main form of relaxing when I get the chance to take a break is to come to this forum. With my workload, I should stay away for another couple of weeks but have found CC.com to be rather addictive.
So, because Im a little strung out, I have a tendency to pop off sometimes. That doesnt really bother me on this forum because we are gun guys and gals. That means we are opinionated. Thats a good thing. If you are going to carry a gun, you should be decisive and not wishy washy.
OK. Enough background.
In other threads about whether to tell a LEO you have a gun or not, I expressed outrage that a LEO felt the right to point a gun at me.
Last night I got home at about 10pm very tired and cranky and started pontificating about the threads with my wife. She is not only my wife, she is my lover, best friend, soul mate and sounding board. If you guys make a point, I may ignore it but I really listen to my wife. Go figure.
After venting for a while, I knew I was in trouble because my wife just sat there with a small smile on her face.
Here is the gist of the conversation:
Wife: So you are ticked off to think that the cop would get concerned enough to pull his gun if he was surprised by seeing your gun?
Me: Yeah. If hes that afraid of the people he stops, maybe he should get another job.
Wife: When you are working at the office very late, what do you do when walking between the office and the car?
Me: (some unintelligible mumbling).
Wife: You sometimes have your hand in your pocket with a shooters grip on your 357 magnum. Right?
Me: (stupid deer in the headlights look on my face) (DAMN!)
Wife: Any if someone would surprise you by stepping out of the dark very close to you?
Me: (mumble, mumble)
Wife: Maybe if youre that afraid of people, you shouldnt work so late. (followed with sweet smile and batting of eyes).
Me: (Im not done yet). Yeah, but why should he have the right to be concerned that I might be a danger to him? I am just a law abiding citizen. I havent done anything wrong!
Wife: But you did. Every time you have been pulled over by a cop, why did he do it?
Me: (more unintelligible mumbling).
Wife: You figure the cop was just sitting on the side of the road thinking that he would pull over the next car that comes by? You were speeding! Isnt that breaking the law?
Wife: Didnt YOU cause the encounter in the first place? Doesnt that put him on higher moral ground than you?
Me: (still not done yet). Yeah, but what about those times I heard about where a guy told the LEO they had a gun only to end up looking down the barrel of the LEOs gun?
Wife: I thought you believed that you should not prejudge people but judge them based on their actions.
Me: Why were you smiling when I told you about the threads?
Wife: Because you were red in the face. You usually get the maddest when you are wrong.
(DAMN. Stick a fork in me, Im done.)
Wife: So what are you going to do?
Me: I guess Ill just make sure that I inform the LEO of my gun and quit worrying about whether I have to or not.
Wife: And?
Me: AND WHAT? (she is really ticking me off by this time)
Wife: Just let everything die down? Right? Kinda like a newspaper that prints a big headline article on page one but when they find out they were wrong, they put the retraction on page 26 in very small print?
Me: Dont you have someplace else to be?
Wife: (another one of those innocent smiles as she turns to read the paper).
Now you know why I am posting this.
So . . . . . . after churning things around in my thick skull, I think I see some of the forest now instead of just trees.
My new current logic: If I inform the LEO that I have a permit and am armed
(not hard to do; just takes a couple of seconds), I do a couple of things. First, I do what I can to put him at ease and second, I give him an opportunity to either be a stand up guy or a horses behind.
Either way he reacts, my conscience is clear that I did everything I could to keep the situation calm.
Sounds like a plan to me.
This is what I see as the strongest point of this forum. We can discuss things and even when things turn lively, if you argue a point, you are forced to think about it in order to come up with your argument.
On rare occassion, this process will cause a thought to penetrate hard bone and either greatly strengthen your argument or change it.
So. . . .lets keep talking, and keep it civil. Knowledge is a good thing!

So I ordered my Theis holster around the last day of January and got it just under 4 weeks later. I've been wearing it around for about 2 weeks and love it. I was a little worried at first as it had very tight retention, gave myself quite the wedgie pulling my pants up each time I tried to draw. After a couple weeks of wear and drawing from the holster it is working great. Perfect retention and hides my fullsize PX4 with pants and a tshirt. I've been using it with a 5.11 belt which works great with my jeans or under my gym shorts while jogging. The retention is solid with the belt to prevent any worry of losing the gun while running and draws easily now that is is getting worn in. For $65 with combat cut and horsehide it is a great deal. I would reccomend it to anyone. Makes a full size gun very comfortable to wear all day.
And here is a pic

Letter: 'Tax the rich' charade is mere distraction from what must be done
Alan Piecewicz, Port St. Lucie
Letter: 'Tax the rich' charade is mere distraction from what must be done
Some of my acquaintances do not understand that the deficit is the annual government overrun of expenses by spending. The national debt is the total of all federal deficits.
President Barack Obama is determined to "tax the rich" so they can pay their "fair share." The amount of additional revenue ($85 billion) will only run the government for 10 days.
In other words, "taxing the rich" will not do anything to lower the $16 trillion national debt, but it was a good campaign slogan.
If those in the middle class think their taxes will not be going up, I know of a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell them.
The only way to solve the problem is to have entitlement reform in conjunction with a complete tax reform so that it is simpler and more fair.
I don't know why President Obama cares how the increased revenue is generated as long as it is enough to help cover the massive spending programs he is planning. But, I guess we are stuck with his "tax the rich" as long as he is in the White House.
Actually, this "fiscal cliff" and taxes discussion won't matter much if the Federal Reserve continues to print money to pay for all the spending. The resulting inflation will mean that the value of the cash in your pocket as well as in your retirement savings will be more and more worthless.
Since the dollar will be worth a lot less, all goods and services will become much more expensive and, in some cases, unaffordable. Inflation is the most devastating tax of all.
On another subject: Could Syria's chemical weapons be part of the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein sent to Syria before we entered Iraq? I'm just saying.

I am surprised they gave you such a hard time! I was caught with 10rds in a mag at Indianapolis International, and it was no big deal. They told me anything over 10rds they will have to do paperwork, they took my bullets and gave me the chance to mail the mag to myself, I couldn't, so the IPD LEO took me addy and mailed it to me!
Maybe cause of the different States matter on how TSA handles these kind of things, I don't know.
P.S. there was never any talk of a fine!

E-Learning | News
Altius Education has debuted its first course for the Helix platform, a learning environment that takes a narrative, storytelling approach to online education, matching students' interests with the information being taught.
Helix was a recipient of a Next Generation Learning Challenge Wave IIIb grant. NGLC is an initiative that provides financial support for innovative, technology-centered solutions for improving college readiness and completion, with an emphasis on solutions for minority and low-income students. The program is led by the education organization Educause and is supported by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), iNacol (the International Association for K-12 Online Learning), and the League for Innovation in the Community College.
The first course offered on the Helix platform, currently in beta, is CIS 100: College Prep for Computer Skills, designed to help students develop basic computer skills critical to participating in online courses. It was unveiled at the Educause 2012 conference, taking place this week in Denver, CO. Attendees and members of the public are invited to sign up for the beta.
"Helix combines innovations from different areas of education technology including adaptive learning and complex analytics," said Paul Freedman, founder and CEO of Altius Education, in a prepared statement. "But one of the aspects that differentiates the platform from others is its use of personalization through storytelling. This allows Helix to add relevance to a course's subject matter that improves the retention of information."

Additional details can be found at altiused.com. Members of the public can sign up for the beta course at helix.altiused.com/player/signup?source=prm.
