A student theater production by Arts Alliance at Northwestern University produced by Paige Anderson and directed by Tristan Powell.
About this project
Our show needs money in order to have fully-realized designs with high production value. Some highlights of the designs include the following:
- Set: A 48' by 16' wall built from scrap wood, old pipes, and junkyard pieces, and an old theater box seat built from scratch
- Lights: unique lighting that imitates an old theater, a hazer, and a working vintage chandelier
- Costumes: multiple costumes for each of the 13 cast members, whose clothes become more luxurious and opulent over the course of the show
- Sound: a full experimental soundtrack and custom-designed sound effects to contribute to the eerie world of the town
You could help it happen!

Actor's 'Affair' Apology Breaks Online Records
A Chinese actor's apology to his wife following rumours of his infidelity has broken social media records in China.
After reports surfaced last week alleging Wen Zhang had cheated on his wife, actress Ma Yili, he used Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, to apologise to his family.
He wrote: "I have brought this upon myself. A mistake is a mistake. This has nothing to do with anyone else ? I'm sorry.
"Please accept the deepest apology and regret from the bottom of my heart.
"Yili and the children could have had a comforting and beautiful life but I have ruined it all."
Within 12 hours of posting his apology the combined number of reposts, likes and comments had reached 2.4 million.
After two days Zhang's post has received more than 3.9 million responses in total.
This breaks the previous record for the most trending post on Sina Weibo, held by Chinese pop singer Faye Wong when she announced her divorce from husband Li Ya Peng last year.
Zhang was photographed holding hands with actress Yao Di, his co-star from the television drama Naked Wedding last month.

Prog fans rejoice! Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing a Special Collector's Re-issue of UK progressive rock legends Nektar's classic Sci-Fi themed, prog-psych masterpiece 'Journey To The Centre Of The Eye' on February 26, 2013. The CD will include the original album mix fully remastered, original liner notes by famed rock biographer Dave Thompson and two rare bonus tracks! This re-issue kicks off a series of Nektar catalog releases that will culminate with the release of a new studio album, 'Time Machine' coming this summer 2013.
Says guitarist/vocalist and founding member Roye Albrighton about 'Journey To The Centre Of The Eye', "Basically, it's a Journey to one's inner-self, and to be able to see the world through your mind's eye. Recorded in the early years of multi-track tape recording...this whole album was recorded on an 8-track recorder. We had to record each 20-minute piece complete and hope we didn't make any mistakes... If we did, it was back to the beginning to start again."
The Nektar story is a remarkable one. A British rock band that found stardom and major success in Germany and the USA, yet failed to make a significant breakthrough in their own country. With three gold albums under their belt ('Remember The Future', 'Down To Earth' and 'Recycled'), Nektar produced some of the most original work of the seventies and eighties. In virtuoso guitarist Roye Albrighton Nektar had a charismatic front man who had shared a stage with Jimi Hendrix, in Allan "Taff" Freeman a unique keyboard player, in Derek "Mo" Moore a bass playing powerhouse and in Ron Howden a fluidity rarely found in a drummer. Fifth member Mick Brockett was not a musician, but was responsible for one of the most stunning light and visual shows ever to grace a rock stage. Nektar's history appeared to have been written when they finally split in the eighties. Despite attempts to re-kindle the flame, the Nektar light, it seemed was out...until the year 2000. The new millenium saw the long awaited reunion tour of the classic line-up, to rave reviews and fantastic receptions. The light we thought was out, had in fact been kept aglow - by loyal fans across the globe.
An American tour in September 2004 saw Taff Freeman depart the band for personal reasons and his successor, Hammond virtuoso Tom Hughes, instantly earning a place in the hearts of the Nektar faithful. With continued concert dates, along with the remastering of the remainder of the Nektar back catalogue on CD, this legendary band has become once more a proud force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive music. In 2007 Nektar truly took over their own management, procured their official website as their own, became an entity entirely under their own control and went on a 22-date tour of Germany. The band released the critically acclaimed CDs 'Book of Days' in 2008 and the live DBL CD 'Fortyfied' in 2009. Signing with US label Cleopatra in 2011, the band competed it's first U.S. Tour in seven years by virtue of a successful month-long jaunt of the States, to the delight of their U.S. Fans both old and new. The final Los Angeles date on this tour was captured on the Cleopatra Records 2012 DVD release 'Space Rock Invasion'. In 2012, Nektar released 'A Spoonful Of Time' on Cleopatra Records; a psychedelic head trip through classic rock radio with artful twists on classics by The Doors, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Blind Faith, Steve Miller, 10cc and others. Nektar is set to make its mark once again with the release of their highly anticipated forthcoming studio album 'Time Machine' this summer.

Cat - Health
Pet Care Info
Animal Care Sheets
New Pet Center
Unfortunately, our furry friends tend to vomit more than we do, especially after overindulging or eating something disagreeable.
Vomiting can be a sign of illness, but not every pet that vomits is sick. Your cat's comb-like tongue collects a lot of fur when he grooms, and he may swallow some. If the hair doesn't move from the stomach into the intestines, it can irritate your pet's tender tummy and cause vomiting.
It's also important to distinguish vomiting from regurgitation. If your pet doesn't gag or retch and seems to effortlessly expel undigested food, he's probably regurgitating. This may indicate a foreign object in the esophagus or a dilated esophagus (megasophagus).
The relentless sway of a car, boat or plane may also make your pet's tummy flip-flop, even if you're only traveling a short distance. Certain medications may also cause nausea and vomiting. Other causes of vomiting include: viral infections such as coronavirus infection, gastrointestinal parasite infections, Heartworm infection, liver disease, kidney failure, pancreatitis or inflammation of the pancreas, ulcers, ingestion of foreign objects, poisoning, inflammatory bowel disease, fungal infections, brain disease, food allergies, Diabetic ketoacidosis and Cancer.
What You Can Do at Home
A hairball preventive and daily brushings to remove loose hair will cut back on the time you spend cleaning up those furry messes. If you've got a garbage grubber, use a trashcan with a lid to keep him out of spoiled food. Keep your pet from roaming outdoors to reduce his exposure to infectious and toxic substances that could cause vomiting. Regular vaccinations also will help protect your pal from several infectious diseases.
Stop and take a close look at your pet's vomit. Is it yellowish or bloody? Blood in the vomit may be bright red, but usually it looks like dark-brown coffee grounds. Does the vomit contain food, pieces of toys, worms or hair? Make a mental note about the vomit to tell your veterinarian.
If your pet only vomits once, chances are he ate something that didn't agree with him. Just lay off the treats for a day.
Pets who vomit several times in one day but act normal otherwise may just need to rest their digestive tracts. Withhold food and water for 12 hours. When the vomiting stops, offer a small amount of water every two hours. If your pet doesn't vomit for 12 hours, offer him a few teaspoons of bland food, such as white rice and cottage cheese or chicken baby food. If he tolerates the food, you can offer larger servings, gradually mixing in his normal diet. If your pet starts vomiting again, take the food away and call your veterinarian. Make sure your cat never goes longer than 24 hours without eating.
When to Call the Veterinarian
Call your veterinarian immediately if your pet suffers persistent or chronic vomiting or if you notice additional symptoms, including blood in the vomit, dehydration, lethargy, fever or diarrhea. Notify your pet's doctor if you suspect the vomiting is a side effect of a medication. Kittens and older cats can't tolerate dehydration as well as healthy adults, so consult your veterinarian before trying to treat your pet at home.

This study aims to determine the mortality rate and significant factors associated with laparoscopic (LC) and open cholecystectomies (OC) over a 10-year period.
Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we analyzed data for both LC and OC between 1997 and 2006. Cholecystectomies performed as part of another primary procedure were excluded. Using procedure-specific codes, we calculated annual national volumes for both open and laparoscopic cholecystectomies for the time period under review and the associated in-hospital mortality following both of these procedures. Using logistic regression modeling, we then analyzed selected patient and institutional characteristics to determine if a significant association existed between these factors and in-hospital mortality.
There was a 16% increase in the volume of LC and a corresponding decrease in open procedures over the 10 years under review. In 2006, 12% of cholecystectomies were still performed using an open approach and the associated mortality remained significantly higher than that seen with LC. Overall, after adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics, the mortality for OC was higher than that for LC (OR 4.57; 95% CI, 4.37–4.79, p < 0.001). Age (>60 years), male gender, non-elective admission, admission source, and a primary diagnosis other than cholelithiasis were all independently associated with increased mortality. The average mortality rate associated with conversion from LC to OC was found to be 0.7%.
These data indicate an increase in the proportion LCs performed over the years under study with a decrease in the proportion of OCs. However, OCs remain associated with a significant mortality burden when compared with the laparoscopic approach.

A word that sums up this show is tits. Everything about this show is tits. Tits. If you're looking for something else than boob milking, chest groping or nipple sucking, then you should better walk away in this instant. Anyways, when I think about it, calling this show tits-only extravaganza is a bit of an understatement. This show also features some fine animated tentacle rape, robotic arm molestation, monster rape (by some classy Minotaur none the less), and all different variations of sexual deviancy. So in the end, we could agree that the show is versatile in its over-the-top lewdness. Does that actually count as a good thing? Nope. It's impossible to masturbate to this (for me, at least). Sure, there are worse things out there, and there's ones that produce more fuel for nightmares in first 2 minutes, but it doesn't make this shit looking any better. It's all crap. I mean, unless milking and that entire giant breast obsession is your coup of tea. In that case, you'll maybe even enjoy this gibberish.
Writing is tits and plot is either nothing or tits. No real concept or anything beside tits. It's even shitty as a hentai, and since it's not even that, it's just shit anime.
Animation is a complete meh. Design is generic and nothing stands out beside breast animation, breast motions and milk pouring… shit, I felt weird writing this. Music is below average at best. It's just your classical repetitive music you could hear in every hentai. And to be honest, some hentai have better music than this. Nothing stands out and nothing feels good.
Characters are complete nonsense without development, personality… why am I even bothering? To sum it up in best way possible, you won't think of them at any point as anything beside sexual deviants or rape victims.
All in all: you'll either watch it because you're a masochist or because you actually like what I listed. In case you're a normal person or at least feel like one, you'll avoid this and forget this review as soon as possible. It's for your own good.
Best girl: no girls in this show, just cows wearing human skin

Featured on this site are a collection of family photographs saved over the years by Judson S. Dick (1878-1956). These photographs were stored in a trunk, along with other family documents and letters, in the possession of Katharyn Fulcher, sister to Judson S. Dick. With the help of Lucille and Jud Dick, and the generosity of Ilene Weaver, the photographs and the trunk were passed to Geraldine Hall Richards, who has preserved the materials in the trunk and allowed us to use the photographs on the site. The original collection contains over 300 photographs.
Photos submitted by Geraldine Hall Richards, granddaughter of Judson S. Dick.
Many of the photographs from Western Pennsylvania focus on surnames Seneff, Dick, Hensel and Mountain.

Robert Hutchings Goddard
Oct. 5, 1882
Massachusetts, USA
Aug. 10, 1945
Maryland, USA
American Scientist. A graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (BS, 1908) and Clark University (Ph.D., 1911), Robert Goddard was a great pioneer of the embryonic field of rocket science. Goddard's work combined two basic concepts: the necessity of liquid-air fuel for sustained rocket propulsion, and the principle that a rocket will provide thrust in a vacuum, which he proved empirically in 1915. One of his first practical applications of rocketry (which did not, incidentally, rely on either of these principles) came in 1918, when he demonstrated a prototype rocket weapon (later known as the bazooka) at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds on November 10. The following year, he published his theories of rocket flight in the article "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes", which postulated that, using his principles, rockets could one day reach the moon. This paper, though scientifically sound, was ridiculed in a "New York Times" editorial, which stated that "Dr. Goddard seems to lack the knowledge of physics that is ladled out daily in high schools". Undeterred, though also largely unappreciated in his home country, Goddard continued his work; he would eventually hold 214 patents. After a long process of trial and error, he built the first working liquid-fuel rocket in 1926, then followed this with a public demonstration of a rocket carrying instruments in 1927. He patented the gyroscopic stabilizer in 1932, and finally published his successful research in 1936 after building rockets that achieved an altitude of 7,500 feet. At the outset of World War II, Goddard approached the US military about adapting his technology for weaponry, but was rebuffed. The German government took note of his work, however, and used Goddard's designs to build the V-2 rocket. This adaptation, which differed very little from Goddard's "Nell" rocket, would devastate London at the close of the war. Goddard, who had spent the war as Director of Research for the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics developing jet-assisted takeoff units, was chagrined. He would die only months later from throat cancer. In 1969, following the successful US mission to the moon using many of Goddard's theories, the New York Times printed a formal apology: "It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum as well as in an atmosphere. The Times regrets the error."

One place where structural repetition is most evident is corridors, where long straightaways meet beams and columns. Here the rhythm is reiterated by the pattern on the floor and the artwork peeking out on between columns.
This hallway features repeated doorways, pendant lights and groin vaults. The latter, which gives the ceiling its unique shape and allows for semi-circular openings above the doors, also gives the the corridor a gradual, flowing rhythm.
In this example, repetition happens in the Y-direction (vertical) as well as the X-direction (horizontal). A grid of openings makes this hallway special, especially in the pattern of light it introduces.
This multi-family project illustrates repetition at the scale of the building. A three-story module is repeated, but instead of simply side-by-side, they step back from one another to increase privacy and become individual houses within the larger project.
This house repeats different elements on its three floors, subtly revealing the structure that underlies each. On the ground floor we see garage doors with scuppers marking the columns between; above is a set-back glazed wall with uplights on the steel mullions; on top is a trellis whose cantilevered structure follows the same grid.
Exterior elements need not follow a modernist grid. Here, three dormers poke up above the entrance as if to accentuate the house's main portal. This view makes the dormers highly abstract, like three triangles sticking up from the roof.
In this example repetition follows the program, a homeless shelter in Milan, Italy. The studio units feature a repeated module of a door next to an enclosed heater/sink/window seat.
Windows are probably the most-repeated elements (minus materials like bricks) in residential architecture. Modern architecture eschewed the grid of openings found in most traditional dwellings, but repetition can still be found in places like these three rows of stacked windows.
Inside, these three windows define one wall of a kitchen/dining area. What outside was part of a larger wall comprises the majority of this space. The windows are like a wall decoration in their own right.
This long porch benefits from the structural repetition on the right and the windows on the left. Each helps break down the space, and the structural bays help define smaller areas for seating.
Repetition is not limited to architectural elements; landscape can of course play a part. In this example, tall grasses in square metal planters march down the side of a house. The green softens the gray of the corrugated panels and concrete.
These red succulents follow the rhythm of the fence posts, such that the horizontal wood planks become a backdrop for the plants.
This pool area features stone pavers repeated in a grid. Pavers set amongst grass may be a common technique, but it is an effective one for the strong graphic it creates and the clear message that the surface is for walking on.
And let's not forget water, an architectural element of the most ephemeral. Here we find three simple fountains in a travertine wall; the water's falling arc is as important as the trough ... if not more.
A natural extension of the previous photo is to hide the source of the water fountain. Yes, repetition is found in the three streams of water, but when the fountain is off the repetition and rhythm (visual and auditory) is gone. Ephemeral, indeed.

According to Wikipedia, a locavore is "a person interested in eating food that is locally produced, not moved long distances to market. The locavore movement in the United States and elsewhere was spawned as interest in sustainability and eco-consciousness became more prevalent."

Conservation of animals like rhinos and elephants may eventually be conducted most successfully by markets where these animals have monetary value rather than just emotional value. It may sound cold, but it could well keep them from becoming extinct

Plastic will preserve hanging baskets
Hanging baskets made of brown moss in a black wire frame look very attractive and natural with plants mounding and trailing down over their edges. However, unless they are lined with plastic of some kind they will not hold moisture for the plants and will dry out quickly.

Two Problems of Direct Inference

Get AccessAbstract
The article begins by describing two longstanding problems associated with direct inference. One problem concerns the role of uninformative frequency statements in inferring probabilities by direct inference. A second problem concerns the role of frequency statements with gerrymandered reference classes. I show that past approaches to the problem associated with uninformative frequency statements yield the wrong conclusions in some cases. I propose a modification of Kyburg's approach to the problem that yields the right conclusions. Past theories of direct inference have postponed treatment of the problem associated with gerrymandered reference classes by appealing to an unexplicated notion of projectability. I address the lacuna in past theories by introducing criteria for being a relevant statistic. The prescription that only relevant statistics play a role in direct inference corresponds to the sort of projectability constraints envisioned by past theories.

Lemon cypress trees do well in pots and grow quickly. Bamboo like Fargesia 'asian wonder' would work well and grow fast inot a thick screen, evergreens like Loquat, Camellia etc will also work.
Failing that, just put up a fence in front of theirs on your side of the boundary. No one likes sitting facing neighbours!
Evergreen hedges need regular cutting to keep them compact and green. Yours has been left to grow wild and cutting back will mean cutting into wood that will not regrow as Dove has said above. It is worth trying to save it but I have yet to see a hedge reduced to a reasonable size and look good.
Am not sure if it will take a cut now and look ok. I suspect a replacement hedge is required.
Just bear in mind that some Cherry have a lifespan of 15-25 years and few if any are suitable screening trees.
You do not prune them! They do like rich soil and full sun.
Mine are flowering now...oes i good compost are fine, those i poor soil seem to have disappeared.

The electrician said it would use about as much as a 100 watt bulb.
100W does not sound good enough. Most GH heaters tend to be 2KW. Sounds like you get away with it this year as it has barely got below 0C and that it is a lean to to a house, so gets extra temperatures, but I think if you have a 100W heater then when the temps fall below -5C then you will get frost in the GH.
Tubular heaters are low wattage and they are available with thermostatic control:
The leaves turn green with age. You should be seeing some small red leaves emerging though, so I would give it time. It may be that the younger leaves were frost damaged/eaten by slugs/caterpillars.
I use paraffin and it does keep it frost free but there can be issues of condensation. I would use a thermostatic electric fa heater if electricity was available i my GH but it is 20 metres away.

Try to read the patch notes some times. It is confirmed that it has been disabled for ALL ATI Cards.
"Known Issues
* Chat has been lagging at times up to several minutes. The team is hard at work on a fix.
* Klingon starting equipment is below where it should be. Fix coming in another patch this week.
* Klingon stores are not selling very many items. These will be updated soon.
* Some Exploration Planet Surface missions are not completing due to missing objective.
* Klingon players can join PVP queues prior to completing their starting mission which will make the character unable to complete their mission chain and progress any further. Do Not Join PVP queues until AFTER you've completed your starting mission and leveled up to 6.
* There are UNTRANSLATED text errors in stores if you cannot purchase an item.
* C'zann, a Klingon contact, has a doppleganger in the bar at Qo'nos that offers the same content.
* Skin color choices run off the left side of the client when customizing a character.
* Bridge Officer descriptions in the store run off the screen. Trick is to move the Store window to the top of the screen and the tooltip descriptions will scroll down.
* We have reports that auto grouping may not be working in all systems.
* In some rare cases the bridge officer reward you accept while still in Sector Space may disappear and not be rewarded. If this happens to you bug it.
* The Map Systems List has some text and UI errors at the top for sector blocks that is messed up.
* Comparison Tooltips may sometimes not updated as you equip and unequip items in space.
* If you crash out of a map during a warp cutscene - you can end up invisible until you map transfer again.
* Food items that are equipped to your device slots will show up on your power bar with a multiplied stack number.
* Random buttons in the uniform page of the character creator will randomize your body shape as well.
* Loading screens are still work in progress.
Anti Aliasing support is disabled for some video cards at this time.
* Contact headshots may animate and move in odd fashion. This is being adjusted.
* There are some placeholder sound FX being used in contact windows to denote where VO will go.
* Alt-Tabbing out of the game window can cause performance stuttering when returning to the game.
* Enemy ships will show the incorrect faction icon in the target status window.
* Completed mission objectives do not clear from the hud tracker until the mission completes.
* Some powers may not slot as expected on your space power tray."

He has been criticized so much for being conservative. Run left, run right. I think he pulls a Martz (not using Marshall Faulk) and tries throwing the ball more because of his reputation. While he SHOULD run LT left and right until we prove that we can stop him, I think he comes out and tries to open it up by throwing on first and second down. If he does this, it is a huge mistake.
I think he'll take his shots on first down to counte the argument that he is conservative and I think it will backfire setting up 2nd and 10 in which case he'll run LT and then it will set up a nice 3rd and 5 or it'll turn into a pick.
Marty is what he is. He'll try to pound LT and not give Rivers the chance to 'lose' the game early on. He will take his chances on defense though.
Marty is what he is; very good in the regular season, a stiff come playoff time. 5-12, 0 for his last 4, but Charger fans keep whistling past the graveyard, the closer the game is, the bigger the choke job, bank on it.
Reportedly he gave his coordinators more leeway this season. I'd like to read some anxiety into his body language, but I forgot my silly muckraker decoder wheel so I'll just have to assume he's going to keep doing what got them there.
Doesn't Cameron call the plays? I'm sure if it's aggressive playcalling and it works, Cameron will get the credit. If it doesn't, poor Marty will get the blame for trying to change his rep. And Cameron is in line for a head coaching spot, I'm sure he'd love to show things off a bit.
Exactly...that's why I think Marty (or Cameron) will open it up a little. Don't wanna appear too conservative.
Yes, Cam Cameron calls the plays. Marty has input into the gameplan but he's made it very clear Cam Cameron runs the offense.

The American companion to A History of the World in 100 Objects: A fresh, visual perspective on the Civil War
From a soldier's diary with the pencil still attached to John Brown's pike, the Emancipation Proclamation, a Confederate Palmetto flag, and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln's bier, here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at the Civil War.
Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light on the war by examining fifty objects from the New-York Historical Society's acclaimed collection. A daguerreotype of an elderly, dignified ex-slave, whose unblinking stare still mesmerizes; a soldier's footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant's handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox—the stories these objects tell are rich, poignant, sometimes painful, and always fascinating. They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives—Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female—and give readers a deeply human sense of the war.
With an introduction from Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Foner and more than eighty photographs, The Civil War in 50 Objects is the perfect companion for readers and history fans to commemorate the 150th anniversaries of both the Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
Harold Holzer has written or edited more than forty books on Lincoln and the Civil War era. He is currently a senior vice president at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and a Roger Hertog Fellow at the New-York Historical Society. He lives in New York City.
The New-York Historical Society is the oldest museum in New York City, and one of the country's pre-eminent cultural institutions.

Bruce dropped the hand as quickly as he lifted it when he noticed the fear in his eyes. Tony and Steve had reluctantly come to the conclusion that they kind of needed Bruce here. Tony couldn't conduct a proper medical investigation like Bruce could, and Steve was pretty clueless. It helped that Bruce lived in the building most of the time anyway, so he wouldv'e found out about Loki eventually."No, no, Loki, Bruce isn't gonna hurt you, he's just trying to help, okay?

It is best to book early to avoid over booking. Many cruise ships stop here for at least a full day to allow guests to tour Rome. Guests not taking cruise ship arranged tours can take a shuttle (supplied by the port) to the port entrance, walk 10-15 minutes to a train station, and take a commuter train (cost in Fall 2009 was 9 Euros roundtrip) to Rome. Locals will happily point the way. Get aroundBus number 1 is a shuttle from train station to the port and vice-versa. Ticket for one hour of travel is 0,85 Euros, daily ticket is 3,20 Euros.

Radio news reports from all over the world. Wars have broken out. The worst in humanity has erupted. Popular political figures shot dead. John Lennon gone. The world is no longer what we thought it was.
Bill Kersey sees it all differently and rightly so, through shots of mountains and trees and streams, all peaceful, with no jarring interruption by the actions of man. To him, the life of the planet will still remain when all the major players in the world's affairs are long gone. The trees will still be tall, mountains will always be mountains. We may find it shocking about Kennedy, and all the others in American history, but all of them are merely textbooks, TV footage, old news reports, documentaries, and still the trees and mountains remain.
Kersey is so sure of his viewpoint and lets us know as such, a strong-willed statement from a strong mind. Better still is how his statement gives way to other thoughts, such as how far our history will stretch. 100 years? 1,000 years? Some world events should never be forgotten, but Kersey wonders if those events will be as rock-solid in memory as the nature he sees so clearly. And even away from all of those thoughts, there are resplendent shots of the White Mountains in Arizona and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. Whether for nature or for wondering how long we will last through memory, Kersey knows what he thinks and shows it quite well.

NFP?s 2009 SEC all-prospect team | National Football Post More conferences to follow in the days ahead. This is a good year to have multiple top-50 picks.
I don't know why but I forgot about javier Arenas......If we could get him as a value pick then I would love to have him.....He could play cb and would give us that huge boost in the return game without having to use welker back there.....I would really like that pickup
I like Arenas a lot also, as a mid round utility type pick. As I mentioned a month or so ago, I also think he could possibly develop into a Faulk type receiving RB. Yes I know he's a DB but his PR ability shows he can do more and his running style with the ball reminds me of Faulk.
I'll take Kareem Jackson over Arenas as a CB prospect. He'll be a 2011 1st round pick if he stays, but is supposedly leaning towards coming out this year.
Can he return kicks like arenas? that is why I want arenas is for that field position game because he is SICK with the ball in his hands.....
No. I think he's a much better shutdown CB prospect than Arenas, but Arenas is much better for ST as a returner.
What a tremendous secondary!!!!!! Two names for us to get on draft day. Mount Cody and McClain. With these two guys, and a veteran pass rusher or two, our defense will be so much better.

Why Should We Legalize Gay Marriage?
Why should we legalize gay marriage? Or, in other words, why isn't gay marriage legalized already? Same-sex marriage is just about as humane as opposite-sex marriage. One in ten people are gay. Seems perfectly normal to me. Is it normal to you? And anyway, why don't people like two gays marrying?
Let's start out with the facts. The evidence. The nitty-gritty of all this debate. One out of ten people are gay or lesbian. So there's about twenty-eight people in this class, am I right? So that's at least two people that are gay, technically. But if your friend was gay, would you hate them for it? Would you turn around to be the face of injustice and all that is unfair? Would you be the person translating hate to your friend because he or she is homosexual? Would you be the so-called 'friend' that is the image of degrading human rights? There's this other statement too, which really gets me. A heterosexual woman can get four or five marriages in her life, when two same-sex lovers can't even get one. How does this work?
Oh, religion, religion, religion, you crack us up in so many ways. Apparently, in the Bible, gay marriage is sin. Yet, you say: "God loves everyone." Yet, it's alright to SELL your children into slavery. Yet, it's alright to DISCRIMINATE someone because he or she likes the same sex. In some cases, religious people stroll around the streets of England with signs stating: "GOD HATES FAGS." Is this fair? As Russell Howard once said: "Jesus isn't gay or straight, he's bisexual because he's in everyone."
What I'm about to say is a true story. Imagine a twenty-one year old student, blonde hair, brown yes, almost six feet in height and has a chiselled chin. This young lad's name is Matthew Shepard. Your average university student, am I right? One the night/morning of the 6th and 7th of October, he was attacked and brutally tortured. He passed away on the 12th of October from fatal head injuries. During the trail, witnesses expressed that Matthew was homosexual. Ask yourselves, is it right to slaughter an innocent person because they like the same gender? The two murderers, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson robbed, pistol-whipped and tortured Matthew, and then tied him to a fence in a rural area, leaving him to rot and bleed to death all on his own. After this, Aaron and Russell acquired Matthew's home address and were intending to burglarize his own home. My fellow students, look at me in the eyes, is this more humane than accepting your friend for being gay?
Bullying is a common occurrence when students and teenagers admit they are homosexual. Stupid expressions like: "OI FAG, GO CRY ON YOUR BOYFRIEND'S SHOULDER!" can emotionally disturb someone. A so-called joke such as: "Eww, lok, there's the local lezzo." can tear someone to pieces. Are you going to be that self-centered, halfwit who bullies someone because of their sexuality? Let me tell you this, this is one of the stupidest mistakes you can make in life. Bullying someone is low. In fact, you could high-five the Devil because you stooped that low. In some cases, bullying takes a unusual turn of events and the victim bites back. Like Frankie Boyle said: "I would have loved to have a gay dad. Do you remember at school, there were always kids saying "My dad's bigger than your dad, my dad will batter your dad!" "So what? My dad will have sex with your dad. And your dad will enjoy it."
I envision a world where people can openly admit they are gay without feeling oppressed or scared of the reaction.
I envision a world wherein homophobia ceases to exist.
I envision a world where a same-sex marriage occurs without any fuss from religion and/or politics.
I envsion a world where families will not abuse their child for being homosexual.
This is why we should legalize gay marriage. By doing this, you are bringing more equality to the world, and you are bringing smiles to the faces of those who can now marry their dearly beloved. By accepting homosexuality instead of denying it, we are now creating a healthier atmosphere for all. I want to go home next week thinking that we have made a change for the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transsexual community for all. So, please, next time you see a gay or lesbian couple walking down the street, accept them and don't shout crude words at them. Next time, if you see a fellow student in school which rumours tell him or her is a 'fag', don't jump on the abuse bandwagon. Because all this world needs is a bit of love. Thank you all for listening.

Financial firms need 'nutrition labels'
Wouldn't it be nice to know that your money is safe?
Palm Springs, Calif.
"Is my money safe?" That's question No. 1 for many Americans today. And it goes to the moral heart of the global financial crisis: lack of trust.
But some of this trust can be restored simply and inexpensively. My idea? What the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did for food-product labeling must be done for financial institutions. This, more than the over-reactive overregulation that's sure to come, is an important step to restoring the public's trust in financial firms once the dust settles.
Thanks to FDA guidelines, whether we're buying vanilla yogurt or meat lasagna, we can look at the label and know what we're getting. How much fat? How much sugar? How many calories?
These questions are answered before we ever buy. We may choose to ignore them for a Ben & Jerry's binge, but that's our own business. We don't need to be nutritionists to make an informed decision.
When you put your money in a bank, brokerage firm, insurance company, or other financial institution, do you know – between their own internal policies and the regulatory requirements – how much, for example, of your dollar the firm is holding in reserve for available cash and to cover sour debts? Is it 10 cents? 30 cents? If this information were available to you in a simple way when choosing where to put your hard-earned money, wouldn't that be appealing?
As a former senior executive at a brokerage firm with responsibility at the time for $21 billion in assets, I had to sit through frequent meetings to discuss our standing versus the regulatory capital requirements for brokerage firms, and I can tell you we boiled it down to a simple number that everyone in the room – economics expert or not – could understand.
All I'm asking is that something like this be made simple and accessible to potential and actual customers ... to you. I challenge all financial institutions to be the first to do this.
Of course, there's risk in transparency, as it tends to show "warts and all," and can be gamed without adequate oversight. That said, worthy financial firms might come to see it as a competitive advantage.

Benazzi, F. and Jeppsson, U. and Katebi, M.R. (2005) On an application of extended kalman filtering to activated sludge processes: a benchmark study. In: 10th International Conference on Urban Drainage, 2005-08-21 - 2005-08-26, Copenhagen.
| PDF (full text conference paper) Download (98Kb) | Preview |
The growing demand for performance improvements of urban wastewater system operation coupled with the lack of instrumentation in most wastewater treatment plants motivates the need for non-linear observers to be used as virtual sensors for estimation and control of effluent quality. This paper is focused on the development of a general procedure for on-line monitoring of activated sludge processes, using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) approach. The Activated Sludge Model no.1 (ASM1) is selected to describe the biological processes in the reactor. On-line measurements are corrupted by additive white noise and unknown inputs are modelled using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and spectrum analyses. The given procedure aims at reducing the original ASM1 model to an observable and identifiable model, which can be used for joint non-linear state and parameter estimations. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods and show that on-line monitoring of SND and XND concentrations is achieved when dynamic input data are used tocharacterize the influent wastewater for the model.
