The end of the road south, now heading north.
Trip Start

Where I stayed
Monday after our Wallmart shopping in the afternoon we went looking for the campground in Diamante near the Acapulco airport so we could get an early stat on the full days drive to Puerto Escondio. Diamante RV park was filled with big rigs mostly from Quebec who have been there since early November and are well installed. Our neighbour is from Embrun and we had a nice chat with them that evening.
Tuesday morning bright and early we get off to Puerto Escondido on what is supposed to be a long days drive due to the many topes. The road is good but as we were told it's a veritable obstacle course. Besides the approximately 275 topes there are villages with markets and the main road, the Mex 200, turns into a Mercado. Then there are the loose livestock, goats, donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens roaming across the road at every turn. We get a great view of the now dry wintertime scenery. Everywhere there is a watercourse the vegetation brightens up but otherwise is a dull brown except for the many coloured flowers poking from the brown branches in anticipation of the rainy season to come.
We stop in a large market town and find we can get hooked on the Internet while looking for some pastries for a treat. We learn that our daughter April has had a huge crises in her paradise of Santa Cruz. Someone broke into her car overnight in her apartment parking lot. They smashed the drivers door window, got in and took everything but the steering wheel, her check from work which she inadvertently left there, the radio/CD player and speakers which she just had installed, her two cameras, a Cannon 35 mm and a disposable, skateboard, all the manuals for the car, the air freshener and a bunch of other miscellaneous trinkets. Life in paradise is not so good today !
Further on down the road we stop to help some young surfer folks in a bay window bus with California plates. They are huddled around the rear of the bus with the engine hatch open in the usual manner of Bus distress. Turns out they were just checking things, are from Santa Cruz, on their way to Puerto Escondido where they have a piece of land near the lighthouse. We get an invite to visit and off we go again. Then later on we encounter a young couple hitching, we stop to pick them up. They're heading to Puerto, he from Mexico City, her from Germany, we never do get their names. Soon after we hear an uncomfortable noise from the rear of our Westy. A stop to investigate and we find the right rear exhaust header pipe has cracked at the head flange. We decide to continue on and fix the problem in Puerto.
Eventually we get to Puerto late afternoon, let our passengers out, find Playa Zicatella were our friends we're here to visit are. We call and they are there and explain the convoluted route to their rented Casa. We get to their walled compound and find a lush environment with a pool overlooking Playa Zicatella and within minutes we are all in swimming and cooling off from the HOT, HUMID afternoon's drive. Gord and Joanne have been coming here for many years and last year bought some property where they are currently engaged in constructing their own Casa. After some drinks and conversation we're taken on a visit of the construction site and a view of the sunset from their hill top view of the bay. Another gorgeous Pacific Ocean sunset ! Other friends from Ottawa meet us as they are building their Casa just down the hill from Gord and Joanne's. We get the grand tour of their place and are amazed !
Wednesday, we mostly just flake out and relax until eventually I work up enough enthusiasm to go look at the cracked header pipe. It will requires removing the rear exhaust pipe so I set about that task. Afterwards we all go out for diner at a beach front restaurant and it's good to be with friends and get the inside scoop on Puerto Escondido. We had dropped off the cracked header pipe at Carlos', Gord's "personal" Mex welder and we're told it'd be ready manyana. Well, manayana we all went off on errands many of which were related to Gord & Joanne's Casa construction and eventually wound up at Carlos' around noon. The welding had not been done so we wait for him to do it which includes hooking his electric welder to the incoming electric lines, BEFORE the meter, with bare end hook connections ! The welding gets done and we head back for lunch. Afterwards, I check the pipe and go about cleaning up the welding and discover two holes so a short walk down the hill to Carlos' for more "expert" welding. This time he gets it right and back up the hill and eventually I get the pipe back in place and the Westy back in running order. Clean up and diner time's here with another Pacific sunset.
Saturday Rita and I leave Gord and Joanne's, head for the Mercado and shopping then down to Playa Zicatella to find a beach front Cabanna for a few days on our own. We find a nice place at Las Olas run by a Dutch woman who is the local dog and cat woman taking in all the strays. Some 19 cats and 10 or so dogs roam about all which she looks after quite well. The accommodations are rustic but great with hot water shower, cooking stove and fridge, we're set. We spend the next three days lounging around, walking the beach and exploring the shops along the beach. During the day the heat is so intense it's hard to stay on the beach for more than a half hour without jumping in the ocean. The main part of Playa Zicatella is not too good for swimming as the waves are intense, 20 to 30 feet. Surfers heaven and they are here ! At the far end closer to town the Playa is more calm and a short walk there provides better swimming. In the evening just before sunset the beach becomes crowded with spectators watching the surfers. Spectacular to watch is an understatement. Surf boards shooting in the sky and surfers getting pummelled by the huge waves. But, every now and then one good surfer catches a good ride inside the gigantic wave curl and it is awesome to watch his good five minute ride to glory. All this to a setting sun over the Pacific with no admission charge except the price to get here !
Monday we have had enough of Puerto Escondido and we get off down the road south again. Driving the twisted roads to Salina Cruz where we take the Mex 190 toward Oaxaca. We end up at Tehuantepec for the night at the Hotel Cali and very fancy five star place with $70 USD a night rooms but offer camping spots for RVs out back for $30 USD. Not the classiest accommodations but surely the most expensive we've come across. Three tour buses arrive while we're there, one with German tourists, one with French tourists and one with we never did find out.
Tuesday morning we get off up the road to Oaxaca. The road winds it's way up the mountain to a max of 1500 meters and there are spectacular vistas. curvas pelligrossas, topes, and lots of huge slow trucks to make the drive interesting. Passing is a feat of daredevilism as there are hardly any straight spots so the only chances are at the topes where the trucks have a hard go of it so one can zip by them there if there's no oncoming traffic or in the curves where they slow to keep from tipping but the view in front is limited ! Anyway, we have not seen one single accident thus far so we all have been fortunate. But still there are the many roadside memorials to those who did not fare so well keeping us ever vigilant of our driving.
Along the way we see ever increasing amounts of Agave plantations as we are now passing through the prime region of Tequila and Mezcal fabrication. Mostly local artisan places with one or two industrial outfits. The Agave plant seems to grow everywhere and anywhere, steep hillsides, covered with rocks and Agave plants are commonplace. Closer to Oaxaca we enter Matatlan the world capital of Mezcal. We have to stop and do some tasting and purchases. After a few shots of all sorts of Mezcal and the entire life story of the plants and production we get back on the road to Oaxaca.
We get into Oaxaca early afternoon, find the Oaxaca Trailer Park from the good directions in our Church guide book to camping in Mexico, make arrangements then go off to the Gigante near by for provisions. We set up camp and relax for the evening finding we have a free WiFi connection here. Thursday we will do some laundry chores, meet our friend Bill and explore Oaxaca.

Weekday Visits
Plan a Visit
If visiting on a day that students are on campus is important to you, please keep the following dates in mind while scheduling your campus visit.
Campus Visits and Tours
Murray State University welcomes visitors to campus most weekdays, as well as select Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters. Because space is limited, we encourage you to schedule your visit well in advance.
While every effort will be made for you to meet individually, space restrictions may occasionally result in multi-family meetings.

Weekday appointments are scheduled at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00am, 1:00, and 2:00pm on Tuesday and Thursday.
A typical visit consists of an information session with an admission counselor who will be able to discuss with you admission criteria, financial aid and scholarship opportunities as well as information about housing, dining services and student life. You will also go on a student guided walking tour of campus. Together this takes approximately two hours. This is a walking tour; for your comfort, check the local weather prior to arriving.
In addition, you may request to meet with an academic department. If we are able to confirm that appointment, you should add an additional one to two hours to your visit time. We ask that you give us at least two weeks' notice to try to arrange academic department visits. While we will do our best to schedule these appointments, they are not guaranteed, especially if requested at the last minute.

Mayfair is an area of West London, by the east edge of Hyde Park, in the City of Westminster. The district is now mainly commercial, with many former homes converted into offices for major corporations headquarters, embassies, and also hedge funds and real estate businesses. There remains a substantial quantity of residential property as well as some exclusive shopping and restaurants, as well as London's largest concentration of five star hotels. Rents are among the highest in London and the world.
Mayfair is named after the annual fortnight-long May Fair that, from 1686 to 1764, took place on the site that is Shepherd Market.
Mayfair was mainly open fields until development started in the Shepherd Market area around 1686 to accommodate the May Fair that had moved from Haymarket in St James's. There were some buildings prior to 1686 – a cottage in Stanhope Row, dating from 1618, was destroyed in the Blitz in late 1940,[1] though there is no evidence of meaningful habitation or building prior to 1686. There has been speculation that the Romans settled in the area before establishing Londinium.[2] A theory has been proposed since the 1950s that Aulus Plautius set up a fort near the junction of Park Street and Oxford Street during the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43 while waiting for Claudius;[3] the theory was more fully developed in 1993, with a proposal that around the fort a Roman town formed, which was later abandoned as being too far from the Thames.[4] The proposal has been disputed due to lack of archaeological evidence.[5][6] If there was a fort, it is believed the perimeter would have been where the modern roads Green Street, North Audley Street, Upper Grosvenor Street and Park Lane now are, and that Park Street would have been the main road through the centre.[3]
Mayfair was part of the parish of St Martin in the Fields. It is named after the annual fortnight-long May Fair that, from 1686 to 1764, took place on the site that is Shepherd Market. The fair was previously held in Haymarket; it moved in 1764 to Fair Field in Bow in the East End of London, after complaints from the residents.
Sir Thomas Grosvenor, 3rd Baronet married Mary Davis, heiress to part of the Manor of Ebury, in 1677; the Grosvenor family gained 40 hectares (100 acres) of Mayfair.[7] Most of the Mayfair area was built during the mid 17th century to mid 18th century as a fashionable residential district, by a number of landlords, the most important of them being the Grosvenor family, which in 1874 became the Dukes of Westminster. In 1724 Mayfair became part of the new parish of St George Hanover Square, which stretched to Bond Street in the south part of Mayfair and almost to Regent Street north of Conduit Street. The northern boundary was Oxford Street and the southern boundary fell short of Piccadilly. The parish continued west of Mayfair into Hyde Park and then south to include Belgravia and other areas. [8] In the 19th century the Rothschild family bought up large areas of Mayfair. The freehold of a large section of Mayfair also belongs to the Crown Estate.
The district is now mainly commercial, with many offices in converted houses and new buildings, including major corporate headquarters, a concentration of hedge funds, real estate businesses and many different embassy offices, namely the large US consulate taking up all the west side of Grosvenor Square.[9] Rents are among the highest in London and the world. There remains a substantial quantity of residential property as well as some exclusive shopping and London's largest concentration of luxury hotels and many restaurants. Buildings in Mayfair include both the Canadian High Commission and the United States embassy in Grosvenor Square, the Royal Academy of Arts, The Handel House Museum, the Grosvenor House Hotel, Claridge's and The Dorchester.
The Egyptian Education Bureau is in Chesterfield Gardens. EasyGroup's head office is in Mayfair.[10]
Cadbury's head office was formerly in Mayfair. In 2007, Cadbury Schweppes announced that it was moving to Uxbridge, London Borough of Hillingdon, to cut costs.[11]
Mayfair includes a range of exclusive shops, hotels, restaurants and clubs. Just alongside Burlington House is one of London's most luxurious shopping areas, the Burlington Arcade, which has housed shops under its glass-roofed promenade since 1819.[12]
The quarter - especially the Bond Street area - is also the home of numerous commercial art galleries, as well as international auction houses such as Bonhams, Christies and Sothebys.
The Mayfair area mainly consists of the historical estate of Grosvenor, along with the estates of Albemarle, Berkeley, Burlington, and Curzon;[13] it is bordered on the west by Park Lane, north by Oxford Street, east by Regent Street, and the south by Piccadilly.[14]
Paddington | Marylebone | Fitzrovia | |
Hyde Park | Soho | |||
Knightsbridge | St James's | Chinatown |
While there are no London Underground stations inside Mayfair, there are several on the boundaries. Marble Arch, Bond Street and Oxford Circus along Oxford Street are on the northern boundary, whilst Piccadilly Circus and Green Park are along Piccadilly on the southern boundary, with Hyde Park Corner close by in Knightsbridge. Down Street tube station is in the area, but was closed in 1932;[15] it was used during the Second World War by the Emergency Railway Committee, and briefly by Churchill and the war cabinet while waiting for the War Rooms to be ready.[16] While there is only one bus route in Mayfair itself, the 24-hour route C2,[17] there are many bus routes along the perimeter roads, Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly, and Park Lane.[18]

The principles of the special theory of relativity are extremely simple. Knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem and an ability to perform the simplest algebraic operations are sufficient to be conversant with the kinematics of the special theory of relativity, as well as the time dilation and contraction of the longitudinal dimensions of moving bodies that are associated with relative motion. However, the simplicity of the fundamentals of the theory of relativity are in surprising contrast with the difficulty of the perception and at times the total nonacceptance of the consequences of the special theory of relativity by skeptics based on ordinary common sense. The authors of certain popular books on the theory of relativity explain the existence of this contrast by way of the fact that the common sense of skeptics cut its teeth on a stark notion of our everyday life. In the opinion of many physicists, the concept of common sense has taken on another meaning, and the presence of madness in ideas rather than their conformance to the requirements of common sense has almost become the criterion of validity in physics.
The special theory of relativity is simulated in this book in an amusing form based on the simplest examples of the movement of barges, shuttles, and boats in an aquatic environment. It has been simulated without rejecting the customary ordinary common sense that was squashed in the past century by the celebration of mad ideas.

Comments about butter LONDON Nail Lacquer, Tramp Stamp, .4 fl oz:
If I could break it down by category, I would give this 4 stars for color (just as described, a rich dark chocolate...totally brown with no gray or purple undertones) that achieves opacity with one coat! But oh my, a couple hours later, I saw some wearing at the tips. By next morning one finger had already chipped. So at the least, this one is not very long lasting. Also, if you are familiar with the brand then you should know the bottle of Tramp Stamp I received was old packaging where the entire lid/cap is melded together to give you an awkward handle. Newer packaging have a removable rectangular lid and the more traditional round screw-top cap. So buyer beware.

KNOXVILLE — Two of three Tennessee freshman football players charged last week in an attempted armed robbery have been dismissed from the team.
"Clearly, their actions have no place in our program," coach Lane Kiffin said Monday.
Kiffin said wide receiver Nu'Keese Richardson, 18, and defensive back Mike Edwards, 18, were permanently dismissed from the team, while former starting safety Janzen Jackson, 18, will continue to be barred from team activities while Kiffin awaits more information in his case.
Richardson was the player whose recruitment first got Kiffin in trouble with the Southeastern Conference. Kiffin joked in February that Florida coach Urban Meyer cheated in trying to keep Richardson as a Gator, earning Kiffin a reprimand from the SEC.
All three players were out on bond but kept home Saturday when Tennessee traveled to play Mississippi.
Three people told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle about 2 a.m. last Thursday outside a convenience store near Tennessee's campus when two males dressed in hooded jackets, one brandishing a handgun, approached and demanded, "Give us everything you've got."
"The victims stated that they all presented their wallets to the suspects and showed them that they did not have money," a police report said. "The victims stated that a third black male then approached and told the other two black males, 'We've got to go.'"
The three players were arrested shortly afterward with companion Marie Montmarquet, 22, also a UT student. She allegedly drove their getaway Toyota Prius in which police said they found a pellet gun and hooded jackets.
The victims identified Richardson and Edwards as the men who approached their vehicle and Jackson as the one who told them to leave, the police report said.
"After extensive and thorough research of the situation ... and considering various disciplinary options, I've decided it's in the best interest of our program to remove Nu'Keese and Mike," Kiffin said in a statement. "We hold our student-athletes to an extremely high standard on and off the field. Our student athletes must be responsible members of society, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated."
Kiffin said he hoped Richardson and Edwards "will learn from their terrible decision."
Richardson, a highly touted recruit from Pahokee, Fla., finished his Tennessee career with six catches for 58 yards. Edwards, a native of Cleveland, played in eight games and registered five tackles.
Jackson, a Lake Charles, La., native, has started seven games this season, logging 33 tackles and a forced fumble. He was suspended for the Memphis game for undisclosed reasons, a week after he was named SEC freshman of the week for a strong performance against South Carolina.

Barbara Shelly: ALEC wants more influence
The Guardian newspaper got hold of a nice trove of documents that apparently come straight out of the inner sanctum of the American Legislative Exchange Council, commonly known as ALEC, the conservative group that seeks to carry out its agenda by influencing state legislation.
The documents were prepared in advance of ALEC's board meeting in August, the Guardian reported. They contain a few revelations:
• ALEC hasn't rebounded from the hits it took after word got out that the group had teamed up with the National Rifle Association to promote the controversial "stand your ground" laws, which came under scrutiny after a Florida man shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager. More than 60 corporations dropped their membership after that, and ALEC became less of a draw for GOP state lawmakers.The group is trying to reclaim its lucrative corporate support, even launching a "prodigal son" project to lure back such giants as Walmart, Amazon, Boeing, Home Depot and McDonald's. Let's hope the prodigals stay far afield.
• ALEC has created a sister group called the "Jeffersonian Project." It's a 501(c)(4) social organization, which will enable it to be more obvious about its lobbying function.Under its current 501(c)(3) structure, ALEC specializes in drawing up model bills for its members to push in their respective state legislatures. So now the same folks can write the model bills and lobby for them openly. Such a deal.
• One of the most interesting documents is a proposed job description for the legislators designated to head up their state delegations. Along with striving to increase membership in ALEC by 10 percent a year and informing the group of all public information requests that include ALEC documents, it was proposed that state chairs take a loyalty oath: "I will act with care and loyalty and put the interests of the organization first."What? These are elected officials. They are to put the interests of their states and constituents first. Apparently at some level people realized that, because the draft job description was never adopted. But the very suggestion demonstrates ALEC's eagerness to control these lawmakers.
ALEC is well-represented in the Republican caucuses of the Kansas and Missouri legislatures. Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, is the state chairman for ALEC.

Thank FMU for archives, and the North Coast for copious fog and 4-bar wifi, and y'all for the rest of this perfect end to an epic 2-lane twisty highway day. Memories of Manhattan, circa '87-88: 4th floor walkup on Varick w/shower in the kitchen, toilet three doors down. Meeting Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, Ernie the ancient mariner*, and Anna, my best friend from kindergarten, at some neon-lit outdoor courtyard something on my way back from Divine's memorial service. Near-miss stabbings by unclothed mouth-befoamed persons of psychotic persuasions every time I left a friend's 35th St. flat. *The 70 yr old merchant marine who came loping up beside me, at 3am as I left that bar, to show me the tattoo that twisted up and around his beefy left arm. And how it precisely twinned, stroke for stroke, the ink wrapped around my own. His was a totem bequeathed by a Haida fishing village that he'd called second home many many many many years before; mine was a crush's 3-day mushroom meditation. That, right there, is what NYC means to me. That and the extreme civility that is long post office lines on snowy January mornings almost every time I visit, being admonished by old ladies in re my lack of scarf-skillz, w/offers to tuck it in so I don't die of pneumonia. | |

Damn dude/dudette.lol AA-1. We might have to bump your team clean to the WTA/ATA mixed tour.lol Have you seen this girl named Shadisha...I think Robinson may be her last name. She played on the wta tour for a while. I think she played for UGA. I know she played with some AA-1 team that won the city finals. I think it was mixed. Her and my wife played together on a AA-3 team out of Water's edge. I asked because I know the higher up you go there are less teams. You have probably at some point also ran into Milton Myers(Amp). I've gotten to play with him and win a couple of tourneys but we were playing aged(40's) doubles. Sounds like some great Tennis. I love watching that level. I'll have to keep up with your team throughout the season. I bet those women on your team are kick @$$ to. lol

What's not to like about that suspension. Now Lester goes Saturday vs. Dodgers and Peavy on Sunday, and Lester could go again on normal test in 3rd Oriole game if Bucholz doesn't get a start. Dempste more »

Re: Do you fly Private?
They say Ambien in pretty special but with you being EASILY 2 inches taller than me at 6 foot 3 - I don't see how coach EVER an option for you.
It also important to note that most private planes are pretty small too. Unless you are bucking up for a G4 or G5 - you are dealing with some pretty small interiors. On the of the things I like about the King Air turbo props (other than the 1/3 of the cost of a jet) is they are actually bigger than the "light" jets out there like a Lear 35 or a Challenger 2.

Re: Do you fly Private?
For me I think Ambien would be a little too short acting. I usually find a Xanax to be better for long flights and even can allow me to wake up to pee, and fall back asleep, when I wake, Viola! Europe (I live on the east coast). I don't know how I could do 14 hours...

Re: Do you fly Private?
My flight from LAX to Phoenix (a short haul) was still tough to take. Large plane (airbus a321) which took forever to board. I expected HUGE lines. They weren't that long so we went to the USAir lounge since I was stupid enough to get 2 full fare first class tickets and they tried to send me away. I gave them one card after another until they took my United Red Carpet card. USAIR is about the worst commercial airline.
The flight was fine but the seats are SO CLOSE in first that when the guy in front of me put his seat back - he squished my laptop right into my gut. 4.5 hours door to door. Private might have taken 1.5 total. I need more money.

Re: Do you fly Private?
In a past life as a corporate wonk I flew 1st or business class and would cry on the few occasions where I had to fly cattle. Now as a small business owner I try to fly as little as possible and when I do I fly out of Long Beach. Lines etc are non existent. Sometimes I have to connect through SLC and as everyone knows that's like having fireants inserted into your porthole but it's the price I pay for no lines etc... If you can do it give it a try.

Re: Do you fly Private?
Flying commercial airlines is for the birds!
After my 9/11 experience I've flown twice and hated every minute. My wife and I were on a cruise to the Nordic & Baltic countries and finally Russia. While in Norway we heard about the trade center disaster and the cruise continued under armed guards at the port of calls. When we returned to Dover England we were stuck for 4 days and then went to Gatwick airport and waited 18 hours to board a flight to NYC. Gatwick was a disaster with thousands of passengers and military and police with assault rifles milling around. When we finally flew back to NYC it was like a ghost town! Not a pleasant experience. |

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
As you might have ascertained by its model designation, the LC380 is essentially the LC9 modified to fire the .380 cartridge. In fact, the LC380 is identical to the LC9 in every respect, except for the caliber and a minuscule variation in weight.
A few years ago, FN introduced the successor to the FNP line, the FNX. Like the FNP, the FNX is a hammer-fired, polymer-framed duty pistol with a double-action/single-action trigger system. The latest model in the series is the worthy successor to the FNP-45, the FNX-45.
The P224 is basically a P229 that has been cut down to fit the traditional dimensions of a subcompact. It's available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. The SAS (anti-snag) model also features a recessed hammer and a dehorned slide and frame.
Today Beretta's Model 92 gets all the attention, but the company has not forgotten its roots and still offers a number of blowback-operated, sub-compact pistols. The .32 ACP Beretta Tomcat is an extremely small concealed carry pistol that some officers use for backup and off-duty carry.
S&W's Performance Center pistols are carefully assembled from the finest components, using all of the traditional skills of the custom gunsmith. The results are handguns that are not only distinctive and attractive, but are eminently shootable and capable of extreme accuracy.
The SIG716 makes a great first impression. It's a ruggedly built 7.62mm carbine with a 16-inch barrel and a free-floating quad rail. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I was opening the box.
The XD Sub-Compact pistols scored well in my CQB drills. I had no problem using the 9mm XD Sub-Compact to consistently engage a steel plate the same size as the scoring area of a TQ19 Police Qualification Target at various distances, including at longer ranges.
The potential for customization with the P250 means that you can select the perfect frame size that provides the best reach to the trigger and the nicest grip or ergonomics for your hand size.
Lewis Machine and Tool Co. (LMT) recently released what it believes is an improvement on the venerable AR-15 design, the LM8MRP. The LM8MRP is a direct gas impingement AR-15 with a 16-inch barrel that features the company's latest modular upper receiver or Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP).
The Colt LE901-16S is a very versatile direct impingement gas-operated carbine with a 16.1-inch barrel. It's commonly referred to as a "modular carbine" because users can easily transform it from a 7.62mm NATO caliber carbine to a 5.56mm M4 carbine.
Recently Stag introduced the 3G, a rifle developed for use in the rapidly growing three-gun competition market. This AR is also excellent for law enforcement operations.
Smith & Wesson's M&P9 Shield is a subcompact pistol suitable for "deep cover" carry by undercover and off-duty police officers. The Shield is available in either 9mm or .40 S&W.
The accessory rail on the Ruger Tactical Model Mini-14 allows you to fit it with a high-quality optic. And that makes this rifle a much more effective tool for law enforcement operations and home defense.
Whether you are delivering precision shot placement or dumping one magazine after another as fast as possible into a target, the mid-length piston-powered LWRCI M6A2 SPR will do the job.
It's likely that many American shooters have never heard of the Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa, but I believe that is about to change. And with good reason.
While Ruger's LCP proved popular with both civilians and law enforcement officers, there were those who felt that its .380 cartridge was a lower end choice for defensive purposes. To answer this criticism, Ruger developed the Light Compact 9 (LC9).
Although it's best known today for its hunting weapons, Ithaca has produced firearms favored by the military and law enforcement for decades. The Ithaca Model 37 shotgun and M1911 handgun are two John Browning designs that have been carried in both World Wars and in numerous police operations.
Springfield recently introduced yet another version of the XD(m) designed for action pistol competition shooting, and I believe it is equally adaptable to law enforcement purposes. The XD(m)-9 5.25 was designed with the input of champion shooter Rob Leatham and is intended to give competitor shooters everything they need to compete right out of the box.


text: Three Homer teachers are among the four chosen as BP Teachers of Excellence for the Kenai Peninsula. The teachers will be honored at the 17th annual BP Teachers of Excellence awards event to be held at the Peninsula Conference Center in Soldotna at 6 p.m. May 3. Being recognized from Homer are: • Sean Campbell, Homer High School; • Melissa Cloud, West Homer Elementary School; and • Shellie Worsfold, West Homer Elementary School. Also being recognized is Patrick Nolden, who teaches at Soldotna High School. In a press release issued by the BP Teachers of Excellence program, Campbell, an English literature and language arts teacher at Homer High School, was noted for encouraging interaction between his students and the community. A read-a-thon held by his AP literature class raised funds to support the education of girls in India. His class outreach trips offer students opportunities to learn about career opportunities. "The recognition of Mr. Campbell as a teacher of excellence publicly acknowledges what the students at Homer High have known for years he provides academic rigor and relevance in a positive environment that engages and inspires all students to take ownership of their learning," said Allan Gee, HHS principal. Cloud, who teaches fourth grade, was noted for offering her students hands-on learning experience. As an example, students in her classroom learned about public speaking by telling stories to students in kindergarten and first grade. "Melissa Cloud works very hard to meet the needs of all students. She employs place-based outdoor education and hands-on learning as a way of engaging students and enriching their education to foster a lifelong love of learning and to empower students to become responsible for their own learning," said Ray Marshall, WHES principal. "Additionally, Mrs. Cloud has worked at the building, district and state level to support educators in their efforts toward improving in the craft of teaching." Also a fourth-grade teacher at West Homer, Worsfold views parent involvement as critical to her classroom success. She believes outdoor education and hands-on experience not only make the most of lessons, but also help build leadership skills. "Shellie Worsfold is a highly motivated and caring teacher who possesses a large repertoire of educational skills and diverse educational strategies. She has a high commitment to continually refining instructional strategies and helping to maximize students' academic growth," said Marshall. "Shellie has a sound knowledge of constructivist learning, hands-on learning, and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of every individual student in her classroom. She has worked very hard to find a fit between curriculum and student abilities. Shellie creates and adapts high-interest lessons that tap into the natural curiosity of her students, and possesses the ability to successfully integrate many disciplines into smooth, cohesive lessons and units." Nolden teaches biology and health, using digital notebooks complete with labs and YouTube videos to help students understand challenging lessons. In his health classes, he draws upon the expertise of guest speakers from the local police department, as well as experts on bullying. In addition to teaching, Nolden coaches hockey and track at Soldotna High. BP's Teachers of Excellence program recognizes teachers from across the state that are dedicated to teaching and are inspirational to their students. The program is open to all Alaska school districts and attracted more than 1,400 nominations statewide. Each of the teachers of excellence receives a $500 gift card and an award certificate. The teacher's school also receives a matching $500. One Kenai Peninsula teacher will be chosen as BP's Kenai Peninsula Teacher of the Year, and will receive a $1,500 scholarship for continuing education and a bronze sculpture by Alaska artist Mary Regat. "BP is proud to recognize these Alaska educators, who invest their time and talents in their students," said Phil Cochrane, vice president of external affairs, BP Exploration (Alaska). "These are the teachers who will make a lasting impact on the next generation of Alaskans and make our communities better places to live and raise our families."

From the Publisher
"A former diplomat with the US Foreign Service and State Department, Percival argues that China's growing influence in Southeast Asia cannot be explained without taking into account the politics, economics, cultures, and foreign policies of the 11 states of the region, which is among the world's most ethnically, politically, and economically diverse."-
Reference & Research Book News
"This is a well-written book on the nuances of China's relations with the countries of Southeast Asia by Percival, currently on the research staff at the Center for Strategic Studies. While security dimensions receive primary attention, the author does not neglect economics. All references are in English. However, Percival includes material from interviews with a wide range of figures in several countries, so he is not overly dependent on secondary literature. The canard that China is a threat—economic or military—to its neighbors is effectively destroyed by his evidence and argumentation. Of course, Taiwan is an exception to that finding. Percival presents a convincing argument that there is no inherent US-China rivalry in the region, at least not in terms of a zero sum game….Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students."
"Percival provides a brilliant work on the change in Chinese policy that has allowed it to achieve its goals of becoming a dynamic economic growth engine. He explores the change rfom assertiveness politics to accommodation politics. In doing so, the Chinese have invited Southeast Asian countries to share in the economic growth….Percival has provided an interesting view of economic relationships in China and Southeast Asia…..The book is recommended for policy makers, business executives, and undergraduate and graduate-level business classes."
MultiCultural Review
"Percival systematically marshals the political and economic facts of the various ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) countries' current relations with China as well as the collective ASEAN/China relationship. His snapshots give full weight to the diversity within ASEAN, including the varying levels of foreign policy sophistication, but he also helpfully draws a general distinction between China's impact on mainland South East Asia - Thailand, Indo-China and Burma, former payers of tribute - and the maritime rest."

Discussion Questions
Why do you think the Tank Man blocked the path of the tanks, and why do you think the tanks stopped at Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989?
What are differences between the democratic government of the United States and the government of China?
How has Chinese society changed over the last 30 years?
Although the United States is one of China's largest trading partners, the government continues to express concerns about China's human rights abuses. How has China allegedly violated the human rights of its citizens? If possible, explain the positions of the Chinese and U.S. governments on the issue of human rights.
Many people are hopeful that as China develops more economic reform and prepares to host the 2008 Olympics, they will address their human rights record. In your opinion, why will this affect or not affect human rights in China?
China maintains censorship over its media. What challenges can the Internet pose to this control? What benefits will the Chinese people derive from more access to information through the Internet?
How does China censor information on the Internet?
Why do you think Internet companies like Google were motivated to create modified search engines for Internet users in China?
Think about your and your family's Internet activities. What typical Internet use would the Chinese government find objectionable? Which sites would be blocked? Why?

Day 7 - January 18, 2013
We make our way to breakfast about 8am. Dave shows up shortly after. We're all wondering if J & J have left already because they were going to be at breakfast at 7am. We haven't heard any bikes start up this morning.
ADV'er Mike and his wife are at breakfast. We meet some very cool people from Switzerland and Austria. Another guy and his daughter are passing through moving a trailer full of furniture to their new vacation home in Los Barilles down from Denver. It's always a good time hearing all the stories.
A short time later we see John and Jacque coming down to breakfast. They walk in and say "wow, you guys are up bright and early". We say "we thought you guys were coming to breakfast at 7am? We thought you might have left already". They think it is 7am. Evidently their phone had the wrong time. They are pretty surprised, make quick work of their breakfast and head off to Loreto.
Morning view from the yurt.
Nice place by the river to chill.
We take time to chat with Mike about the possibility of riding a dirt road section on our way back north to Bahia de Los Angeles in several days. We ask how rough the road is and if it can be done 2-up? He says it can be done 2-up with a good rider, that there are a several sandy sections, usually not too bad, depending on the time of year, a few short technical sections with some larger loose rock, but that we will be going downhill thru the technical sections so it should be easier. We make rough plans to take hwy 18 up near Benito Juarez, head east to El Arco, thru El Progreso, then north thru San Rafael and up to Bay of LA. Mike says the road is paved to El Arco or something like that so it is an easy ride, then the road turns to dirt but it fairly easy until you get closer to the coast and start heading north then it is a bit rougher.
We reluctantly stop chatting. We know we should get on the road soon since J & J have been gone over an hour. We pack up, grab some fuel and get on the road with Dave.
Getting ready to head out.
We run into some horses on the Hwy. The black horse has this "you wanna dance" look.
I don't feel like dancing and opt for a safer off-road detour.
He looks pretty proud that I'm in the dirt and he is on the road.
We are having a great time thru the twisty's, the weather is nice and winds are light.
I'm Lovin'this!
The roads don't suck much.
Dave is having a good time too.
Coming into Santa Rosalia
Dave's pose.
Santa Rosalia
Yeah! Who doesn't love a good Tope!
Policia Station in Santa Rosalia.
We make a gas stop in Mulege. As I pull up a guy asks me "are you kevin?" Umm? Yes. He says yeah your parents stopped in here and told me to say hi to you. Lol. He said they came thru 45min ago.
Bridge over Mulege river.
Killer beaches in Bahia Conception.
This doesn't suck much. It helps to have an onboard photographer.
We drive on to Loreto. We aren't 100% sure where our hotel is but we have a cross street and know it's close to the mission. We head down the street getting close to hotel.
We pass the mission square and see Jacque on her BMW? We wonder if they have already been to the hotel and are sight-seeing or if they are lost? We spot our hotel, Posada Del Cortes and turn in. Patty jumps off to walk to the street and flags Jacque down. They have been in lost in town for 20 minutes. They got separated in town and lost their ability to use their Bluetooth coms. I leave Patty to check in while I go out on the bike to find John. I find him down on the Malecon doing laps, lol.
Hotel let us bring the bikes in the courtyard. Nice!
Hallway to our room with the balconies.
Courtyard fountain.
Cool outdoor stairway to rooms, courtyard and spiral stairs up to the rooftop terrace.
The hotel is an awesome surprise. We have been to Loreto before and walked around here but never seen this place just tucked in off a main road. We grab something to eat then go roam around town.
Town square, Loreto.
Loreto museum.
No idea what this is at the Museum
Loreto Mission
These trees near the square are very cool.
Local banana tree. Still trips me out they grow upsidedown
Dusty old taxidermy in a local shop.
Patty found some art for me! saweet!
Town square at night.

How Different are Language Models and Word Clouds?
Kaptein, Rianne and Hiemstra, Djoerd and Kamps, Jaap (2010) How Different are Language Models and Word Clouds? In: 32nd European Conference on Information Retrieval, ECIR 2010, March 28-31, 2010, Milton Keynes, UK (pp. pp. 556-568).

Abstract: | Word clouds are a summarised representation of a document's text, similar to tag clouds which summarise the tags assigned to documents. Word clouds are similar to language models in the sense that they represent a document by its word distribution. In this paper we investigate the differences between word cloud and language modelling approaches, and specifically whether effective language modelling techniques also improve word clouds. We evaluate the quality of the language model using a system evaluation test bed, and evaluate the quality of the resulting word cloud with a user study. Our experiments show that different language modelling techniques can be applied to improve a standard word cloud that uses a TF weighting scheme in combination with stopword removal. Including bigrams in the word clouds and a parsimonious term weighting scheme are the most effective in both the system evaluation and the user study. |

Washington's political intelligence class is none to happy about a provision of the STOCK Act that would force them to register under the lobbying disclosure law.
"They're all on tenterhooks," said a policy adviser to Wall Street investors. "I can't imagine anyone who does this business wants to register."
And it's that same desire to remain out of the public eye that makes it a near certainty that there won't be a full-scale lobbying effort to yank the provision from the legislation.
There is a problem, but Sen. Chuck Grassley has the wrong solution, the adviser said.
"There's no doubt in my mind that people are trading on insider information and that's because lobbyists and operatives don't know what the standard of insider trading is," he said.
Instead of forcing insiders who sell political intelligence to Wall Street to register under the lobbying disclosure laws, the adviser said, they should instead be required to file as investment advisers, which requires that they know, and follow, insider trading laws.

There's not one perfect boat. Make a list of what is important to you. Price number one, that will limit it down or up. Also do you want a kicker (outboard engine) or a small desiel, or none at all. How much maintanance do what to do, or are willing to pay for. The main thing is what body of water you are to sail, on if its tidal you probably want to have some sort of propulsion or some where to mount it. Lake you can make due with out. Maybe you want to have an option to trailer it take that into acount. The main thing is enjoy it and do it safe. For me it was a Force 5 than a Hunter 25.5 with a Yanmar 1 GM 10 desiel in it and now it's a Beneteau 32. Point is what's right for me may not be right for you so make a list and good luck. PEACE and happy sailing.

It's time to leave work, but when you walk outside, you realize the forecast was a little off today. It's cold! You drive home and open the front door. What's the first thing you do?
You go straight for the thermostat, turn it up, and wait for the furnace to kick in so you can take off your jacket.
But what if you?re having people over for dinner and they arrive before the house heats up? What's the alternative? Do you leave your thermostat turned up all day and waste the money and resources to keep your home warm even while you're away?
