The Shimano BB86 was developed by Scott and Shimano to provide a wider bottom bracket shell without affecting crank width. The way they accomplish this is similar a BB90; the bearings are contained inside cups which are pressed into the stepped design shell. However, there are no snap ring grooves. The result is a lighter weight interface that is able to use existing integrated-spindle/external bearing cranksets on a press-in bearing system.

Earl Devaney, Chairman, Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board
Click to hear the interview.
Jump to main content.
In our series, 2010 and Beyond, Federal News Radio takes a look at the top stories affecting the federal community in 2010 and how these issues will impact the government in 2011.
Wednesday - 12/15/2010, 3:58pm EST
Click to hear the interview.
Less than two years since its launch, www.recovery.gov is leading the way for government transparency, cloud computing, and open data.
The site tracks spending of the $787 billion in economic stimulus funds as part of the Recovery Act.
Earl Devaney, chairman of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, joined the DorobekINSIDER, said the transparency has driven more accountability.
"One doesn't work without the other," Devaney said. "The accountability is that much better because we have the transparency piece."
Devaney said more than 99 percent of fund recipients report on how they spend the money. Those who don't report get their names published, he said.
"People get embarrassed and they report," he said.
The recovery board, comprised of 12 inspector generals, is challenging the old paradigm that IGs do their investigation "after the fact." With Recovery.gov, the board is trying to "interrupt fraud before it occurs, stop it dead in its tracks," Devaney said.
The board has also tried to overcome the "gotcha" mentality that agencies may have toward IGs. If the board discovered that an agency could do something better administratively, it contacted the agency without publicizing or calling it a "bad thing," Devaney said.
"For the most part, the agencies were very receptive to that and made the changes necessary," he said.

Blower Motor Resistor at 1A Auto
What is a Blower Motor Resistor and where is it Located?
The blower motor resistor, also commonly referred to as an A/C blower motor resistor or a heater blower motor resistor, is an important component to your vehicle's HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system. While a blower motor is what actually forces the hot or cold air through ducting and your car's interior vents into the cabin, the resistor is what regulates the speed of the blower fan by reducing voltage going to the fan. It allows you to vary the settings of the blower motor so that you can lessen the amount of air that comes into the cabin, as opposed to only being able to have it blasted at you. The blower motor resistor works between a vehicle's heater and A/C controls and the blower motor and is typically attached under the dash to the heater ducting near the blower motor to help keep it cool while in use.
Basically, there are two types of blower motor resistors – one that uses coil wires and one that uses transistors and a circuit board. The wire-type, which is more common in older cars, uses a different size coil of wire for each fan speed with different resistances, while the transistorized blower motor resistor, found in more modern cars, consists of a printed circuit board with a fully integrated circuit.
Blower Motor Resistor Failure
On most vehicles, the highest blower motor speed setting bypasses the blower motor resistor to give the fan full vehicle voltage (typically between 12 and 14.4 volts). If the blower motor still works on high, but will not work on any other speed, it usually points to a bad blower motor resistor. Since the part gets hot and draws a lot of power from the electrical system, a failed blower resistor may also melt part of the wiring harness when it fails. When a blower motor starts to go bad, it can draw more power than the resistor is rated for and cause it to fail. Lastly, a malfunctioning heater core can leak coolant into the car and damage the blower motor and resistor as well.
Replacing a Bad Blower Motor Resistor
Replacing a bad blower resistor typically requires only a screwdriver or wrench to unbolt it from the HVAC ducts. In the case of a burnt or melted connector, the replacement will be a bit more involved. While soldering and shrink wrapping the new connector is the best method, crimping the new pigtail in place will also suffice.
Need a Blower Motor Resistor Replacement?
Without a properly functioning HVAC blower motor resistor, your car or truck will not be able to blow hot or cold air through the interior vents on lower settings, and will work only on one speed – high. This of course can get pretty annoying rather quickly and you will likely be itching to fix the problem immediately. Luckily, if you are in need of a replacement blower motor resistor for your car, truck, SUV or van, then you have come to the right place. At 1A Auto, we carry a full line of high quality, aftermarket replacement blower motor resistors for many makes and models.

"tasty treats"
Such great treats! My jack Russell loves them and like Ann said, they're small but I think they're great for smaller breeds like my Felix.
"Very Popular!!"
My dog LOVES these chewies! A whole trachea is too rich, and affects her digestion, shall we say. But these are small enough to be okay. I would give them a 5 star rating, except with my dog they only last one or two minutes.

Humphrey Signs with Men's Basketball
July 21, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University men's basketball head coach Dave Davis announced today the signing of 6'4" former Charlotte-Butler star Josh Humphrey. Humphrey played last season at Massanutten Military Academy, a prep school in Virginia, where he averaged just over 14 points per game.
Prior to prep school, Humphrey was a two-time All-Southwestern 4A All-Conference performer who averaged 16.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game his senior year. As a three year starter at Butler, Humphrey averaged double figures and scored over 1,000 points in his three year high school career.
"Josh has a knack for putting up points, is a shot maker, rebounds very well for a guard, and will be an excellent addition to the system at Pfeiffer" stated Kurt Wessler, head coach at Butler High School. "He is a hard worker and will put in the work necessary to make the adjustments and excel at this new level."
"Josh is a player we have recruited for two years and we are extremely excited to add him to the Pfeiffer basketball family," said Davis. "He has tremendous offensive skill for an incoming freshman and will get an opportunity to ma99ke an immediate impact. If his defensive effectiveness catches up with his offense, he will be a great player at Pfeiffer."

Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), or the inability to effectively seal the nose from the mouth when speaking, results in loss of resonant control of speech and, in some cases, a loss of optimal intraoral pressure to achieve orally directed speech sounds. Given that the nasopharynx is effectively closed during the vast majority of speech, this can significantly impact speech intelligibility. Children with VPI often speak in a very nasal tone, such that certain sounds cause air to leak from the nose, making the words hard to understand.
VPI occurs for a variety of reasons, from residual speech patterns after cleft palate repair to irregularities of the soft palate that children are born with. Because of this wide range of causes, approaches to assessment and intervention may vary and often must be tailored to the individual child.
Children who suffer from voice disorders experience much difficulty in communicating with the world around them. Even mild cases of VPI can alter a child's ability to effectively communicate.

SNOW HILL — Defying the N.C. Utilities Commission chairman's warning against demonstrating, more than a few people stood up in the Greene County Courthouse to represent the silent signers of a petition opposing an electric rate increase.
They were a portion of about 150 people who showed up for a public hearing Tuesday night regarding Progress Energy Carolina's (part of Duke Energy) request to raise their rates. The hearing was presided over by Edward "Ed" Finley.
The submitter of the petition, a representative from Democracy N.C., Jake Gellar-Goad of Chapel Hill, was one of 20 people who voiced their opposition to the rate hike. Three others spoke in favor of the rate increase.
"I want to submit a petition here," Gellar-Goad said to the Utilities Commission. "Nearly 250 folks have signed the petition here saying they are against the rate hikes on economic and environmental grounds from Greene County and the surrounding counties."
Finley stopped Gellar-Goad from attempting to have the signers stand, but members of the audience stood up when Gellar-Goad finished his testimony and someone yelled, "Stand up."
Progress Energy had originally requested an 11 percent overall increase, or about $359 million, but on Monday had worked out a settlement with the N.C. Public Staff for a 4.7 percent, or about $151.4 million, average increase and an additional 1 percent, or $31.4 million, in 2014. If approved, rates would take effect in early June.
Jeff Brooks, spokesman for Progress, said the company has retired or replaced about a third of its main assets, which include the Smith, Lee and Sutton plants.
"We take a risk on the front end," he said, "then we make an appeal."
Brooks said customers can expect a $15 increase each month per 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electric usage.
"For us," he said, "this settlement represents a balance between the financial needs of our business and the concerns of our customers."
One opposer, Melanie Goff Bradley of Rocky Mount, said she witnessed the deception of cost savings in a merger that took place in Edgecombe County.
"The investment in the new technologies and the cleaner energy generated is vital, it's necessary," she said. "But these costs should come out of the shareholders' portion and not on the backs of the rate payer."
Another, Willie Battle of Goldsboro, said such a settlement appeared to be a "done deal."
"This is the same thing I went through in '74 with a nuclear plant in California," Battle said. "We stayed up all night long to find out the thing already was a done deal. And I believe that's about what it is. It's set right now. It's already decided. We're just spinning our wheels because you have to have a public hearing."
Conflict of interest
Senate Bill 10, completely rewritten by the House Wednesday, again may put the Utilities Commission members out of their seats, Gerrick Brenner, executive director of Progress N.C., said.
"It actually came one step closer to reality today," Brenner said Wednesday, following the rewrite of the bill, which was initiated by Rep. Mike Hager, R-Rutherford, and would replace four of the five commissioners.
Brenner said the bill could be voted on today.
"It's amazing that a former Duke (Energy) employee, Rep. Mike Hager, would propose an amendment to allow another former Duke employee, Gov. Pat McCrory, to appoint an entirely new Utilities Commission," he said. "The Utilities Commission this year will consider a double-digit rate hike on residential customers of Duke Energy. And now a former Duke employee in the General Assembly is actively enabling the power grab. The scope of conflicts of interest are staggering."
Brenner, speaking at the hearing, said McCrory worked for Duke Energy for 29 years and owns at least $10,000 of Duke stock. McCrory should disclose the amount of stocks he owns, recusehimself from appointing members of the Utilities Commission or veto Senate Bill 10, he said.
"The conflicts of interest are as clear as a light bulb," Brenner said.
Others also drew attention to McCrory's background with Duke.
James Grimes of Goldsboro said if Duke Energy wants $446 million to upgrade its plants, its officials could have asked former Gov. Bev Perdue or the General Assembly two years ago.
"If Pat McCrory and the General Assembly can find money to renovate a football stadium," Grimes said, "then they can find money to keep people warm without robbing them blind."
David Jones of Snow Hill questioned the integrity of decision-makers at Duke and Progress following the merger of the two when the former CEO William Johnson was fired and Board Chairman James Rogers took his place.
"There is the appearance that the Utilities Commission was misled with regards to the terms of this merger," Jones said.
Doug Dickerson, the state director of the AARP NC, said in a telephone interview the electric companies are trying to shift the power to themselves, while passing on the cost to the consumer, many of whom are already struggling.
"AARP is deeply concerned about the government's rate settlement with Progress Energy," Dickerson said, "which in the midst of public hearings, was hastily negotiated during closed-door meetings between company lawyers and the Utilities Commission as they secretly calculated how much ratepayers will shoulder. Isn't a role of the Commission to listen to the people who will be paying the bills?"
Voices for the poor
The majority of opposers spoke on behalf of the poor, and particularly the elderly on fixed incomes. Former Greene County NAACP president, Albert Barron Sr. of Jason, was one.
"I would say that Duke Power, as well as Progress Energy, may be looking to upgrade and enhance their capabilities," he said, "… but my plea and my cause is to say, if you're going to do so, please don't look to do it on the backs of the poor."
Dorothy Allsbrook of Goldsboro used an analogy about the attack on Pearl Harbor as Americans slept, comparing that to a "serial attack on our pocketbooks" by Progress Energy. But this time, people are awake, she said.
"Folks, we're not living in a third world country," Allsbrook said to the commissioners. "We're living in the land of plenty. So what's wrong? The system is broken and it needs to be fixed. You can help make this easier, even if you can't change what has happened up to this point."
Greene County Commissioner Denny Garner said Greene's poverty rate is nearly 20 percent, as well as the high unemployment rate.
"We have one of the fastest growing 65 and over populations in the state of North Carolina," he said, "and that's because we don't have plants or industries to bring our young people back to the county once they finish school."
Charles Wright of Goldsboro cited additional factors, such as a decrease in unemployment benefits, changes in the tax code and denial of federal health benefits, which could add to the plight of many ENC residents. He read the "About Us" blurb on Duke's website.
"I respectfully ask this commission to support Duke Energy's doctrine statement as stated on their website," Wright said, "and keep electricity and gas service affordable and make life better for the citizens of Eastern North Carolina and Duke customers by saying no to their rate hike request."
On behalf of Progress
Troy Smith, who owns four firms around New Bern and Raleigh, said he has no ties to Progress or Duke and doesn't own stock in either. He said he's worked with local military bases and the Base Realignment and Closure Commission, or BRAC, and believes economic development, including electricity, is an asset that attracts industry.
"For that reason," Smith said, "I think it's in all of our interests for the future of Eastern North Carolina and all of us who live here and plan to stay here and want to create a better economy for us in this part of the state to support this rate increase because Progress Energy — what they've done and what they will be able to do and the amount of infrastructure support they will be able to provide — is critically important for us on an ongoing basis."
Joanna Helms, president of the Wayne County Development Alliance, said Progress Energy is a "game changer" for the area's progression.
"This business of economic development is so very competitive," she said, "and anything we can do to get a hedge on recruitment of industry, retention of industry, creating jobs, creating investment, anything that we can do that's important to bring to the table is a game changer."
Julie Turner, a former plant manager at the Lee Energy Complex in Wayne County, said the upgrades Progress Energy wants to do will lower emissions and fuel costs.
"We recognize that electricity is a significant expense for many of our customers," she said, "and that any rate increase will be a challenge for some. We are committed to helping our customers take control of their energy use and their bills through energy efficiency programs and provide help with energy bills for low-income customers and those experiencing financial crisis."
But Margaret Sowerwine of Rocky Mount said customers continue paying for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Generating Station in New Hill, operating since 1987, with increasing rates and debt.
"I don't think there should be any rate hikes allowed," she said, "until these power companies and our local governments have done everything they can to encourage energy efficiency and renewable energy."

San Francisco, CA

About This Place
|Other Details
At the mention of San Francisco, many immediately conjure up images of its famed Golden Gate Bridge. Traversing the narrow entrance from the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco Bay, the bridge's Art Deco styling and brilliant orange tone stand out against the deep blue waters. Each year more than 10 million people visit the Golden Gate Bridge, which has become one of the most photographed attractions in the San Francisco area.
Three miles to the east is Alcatraz Island, infamous as a federal penitentiary from 1934 until 1963. Nicknamed "the Rock," this tiny island boasts an enormous history. The Spanish charted and named the island in 1775, but it was not inhabited until the mid-19th century, when the U.S. Army built a fort to protect the harbor entrance. The fort morphed into a naval prison before becoming a penitentiary that housed such notorious gangsters as Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. A decade after the prison closed, the island became front-page news again when Native Americans captured the island to stage a protest. Today it remains one of the city's top attractions, drawing more than a million tourists each year.
San Francisco straddles more than 40 named hills, from upscale Nob Hill to Telegraph Hill with its renowned Art Deco Coit Tower. These steep mini-mountains bestow the city with a skyline like no other – and they make walking, driving and parking a challenge. The brave will drive down Lombard Street, affectionately known as the "Crookedest Street in the World." This road is so steep that engineers built it with switchbacks, much like hiking trails on mountainous terrain.
One of the most fun things to do in San Francisco is hopping a cable car. Although some 600 cable cars operated in the city at the beginning of the 20th century, the city had dropped all but three routes by 1954, providing bus service instead. Only after citizens campaigned to save this key symbol of San Francisco identity did the city rebuild the entire remaining three lines in the early 1980s. One section was built again in 2011.
San Francisco's Chinatown is the first and largest Chinatown in North America with restaurants and shops that ooze Chinese culture. Ornate and colorful tiered pagoda roofs stand as sentinels overseeing the activity on the street below. Animated exchanges between buyer and seller erupt as they negotiate their transaction. Passersby are assaulted by the smells and sights of butchered animals hanging in stalls, or pop-eyed fish staring from an icy bed. One of the best things to do in Chinatown is watching the parade that caps off two weeks of festivities associated with the Chinese New Year, generally around February.
Attracting more than 12 million visitors each year, Fisherman's Wharf is the most popular San Francisco destination. Stretching from Ghiradelli Square (once home to a chocolate factory) to Pier 39, the wharf is a huge shopping and entertainment complex more than it is a working wharf. A draw nonetheless, travelers still catch ferries to Alcatraz, or harbor cruises from the wharf.

Find treasures at Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park
Several dinosaurs stand in front of the gem shop near the park.
Andy Sawyer / Yakima Herald-Republic
Petroglyphs rescued from along a flooded stretch of the Columbia River are on display at the interpretive center of the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park near Vantage.
Learn more at the interpretive center.
Westsiders blast past it on their way to concerts at the Gorge Amphitheatre. Central Washington residents often overlook it on their way to Spokane or other points east.
And that's too bad, because this 7,470-acre park state park contains the aftermath of two cataclysmic geologic events: massive lava flows and flooding on an unimaginable scale.
Some 15 million years ago, this now-stark landscape was a forest of oak, maple and ginkgo. But when the earth opened in the area of what is now Idaho, vast flows of lava rolled westward, burying animals and entire trees.
Mud and water protected some of the trees as they were entombed under the hardening lava.
Over time, water carried minerals that replaced the vegetation while retaining its shape and characteristics, such as bark and tree rings.
Today, the remains of these trees can be viewed from a series of trails leaving from the state park visitors center off the Old Vantage Highway.
Another set of rocks scattered through the area tell of an entirely different event, the Ice Age Floods, which took place 12,000 to 18,000 years ago. Huge walls of water repeatedly washed across Central Washington when giant ice dams gave way, releasing a lake of water that covered a good portion of modern-day Montana.
Embedded in huge chunks of ice that were carried along by the floods were rocks, called erratics. Erratics can be found scattered across the park. The rocks, while covered with lichen, come from Montana and are different from the basalt that otherwise found in the region.
The Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park is open during the summer from 6:30 a.m. to dusk. Winter months, defined as Nov. 1 through March 1, the park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk on weekends and holidays only.

|Introduction | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 lens performance | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 versus competition | Conclusion
The Sigma 17-70mm has a DxO Mark Score of 15. This makes it the 5th best APS-C zoom lens tested on the Canon EOS 7D. However if you look at the scores in detail, for sharpness it ranks number 3, ahead of any canon APS-C lens. This does exclude all of the immensely good lenses designed to cover full frame 35mm but they generally have a price tag to match the larger format. The score of 15 overall and of 9 P-Mpix for sharpness makes this a very serious contender. Distortion and vignetting at 0.4% and 0.7EV are at the lower end of the range of scores in this group, transmission differs from the stated value by just under 0.5EV which is on a par with other lenses of this type and chromatic aberration is well controlled, better than most.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is a premium fast 'normal' zoom for APS-C SLRs, which is designed as an upgrade for photographers who have outgrown the 'kit' zooms typically supplied with camera bodies. It was announced at Photokina 2012, as the first lens in Sigma's new 'Contemporary' category of compact general-purpose zooms for everyday photography. It's a successor to a near identically-named lens from December 2009, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM, but is smaller and lighter, uses revised optics, and has a new cosmetic design. Prior to this Sigma made the unstabilised 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC, a lens which was very highly regarded in its time.

Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

With Halloween just around the corner, you might be tempted to make your cat or dog a star by dressing him up in the cutest mini-sized costume you can find. But wait—is trick-or-treat apparel really safe for your furry friends?
Our experts suggest putting your pet in a costume only if you're sure he will enjoy it. Some pets love the limelight: wearing a costume and posing for pictures is a blast! Others prefer to stick to their birthday suits for all occasions, and being dressed like a pumpkin for their pet parents' amusement can cause unnecessary stress.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are some helpful safety tips to keep in mind:
- Your pet's Halloween garb should not constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, you'll want to ditch the mini-pirate hat and vest.
- Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
- IDs, please! Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
For a complete list of animal safety guidelines for this spooky holiday, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips for pet parents.
Tell us: Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween?
I find it very amusing that the ASPCA and HSUS, etc. worry about pet costumes, which are really fun and inocolous, are no where near the problem compared with mega pet food producers that put every piece of the worst meats and junk in pet foods and there is no great hue and outcry. Pet foods now come from china and are largely unregulated and filled with junk a pet does not need and is not species appropriate. Pet owners are swayed with "contains natural veggies and fruits" when those items are not species appropriate and cause health problems but are put in there because grains are cheap and filling. Like eating potato chips.
I'm going to dress my cat and dog as cheap dried kibble in protest of the horrid pet food out there that no one does anything about and kills thousands and thousands of pets per year.
and attention is the most desired treat for a pet.
Halloween costumes, especially for dogs is truly a win win situation you don't want to pass up. Let them be cute and get tons and tons of pets and attention.
For all the people who think it is inhumane and degrading to dress up a pet for Halloween, do you also feel that way about coats and sweaters when it's really cold outside? I only dress my cats for a few minutes for photos in a comfortable costume and they really don't mind. As soon as we're done with the pictures, the costumes are gone and they get some treats. I would never distress or force them to do anything for my enjoyment. My beloved JRT, Toby... now he was a ham! He loved his coats, sweaters and costumes. He loved the attention and also loved to take photos! The little guy was quite the photo bomber! People need to lighten up with their assumptions, not every animal dislikes getting dressed up. I'm a responsible pet parent, and love my babies as much as those you who are opposed to costumes love your own, so the judgements and criticisms are not necessary.
I only put sweaters on my doxie in the winter when he goes outside. He wouldn't tolerate anything like a costume. Every pet is different. He will beg and go nuts to put on his sweater but once he's back inside it's time for it to come off. If your pet enjoys it go ahead but I hate seeing those pets who are so uncomfortable in costumes and their owners have no clue. How would you like someone making you wear stuff you hate all the time?
My cat would kill me in my sleep if I put her in a costume. However, she is a black cat, so she's naturally prepared for Halloween.
I have a puggle who is now almost 6yrs old. When she was a tiny puppy I tried to put a doggie coat on her, it was 4 below that day. She managed to get it off before we even made it to the door. That was the last attempt to dress her in anything. She did however love to hang out in my coat head sticking out the top of the zipper. She would probably still stay there if not so heavy. She does love her jingles. A red velvet elastic collar with bells. She gets to wear those to go running in the snow. You jingle and she comes running. But she can get them off herself plenty loose enough! Halloween can be loud and scary for animals, they should be at home safe, warm and cozy!!!
ANYBODY who engages in ANY 'Halloween' related activities is totally brainwashed, and can't think for themselves. Mindless drones going along with it, because 'everybody else is doing it'. I see shops full of stupid Halloween stuff every year, more and more of it, whole aisles in the supermarkets devoted to this nonsense. It just shows how sad and empty people's lives are if this a highpoint of their year, it's pathetic. And no, I wouldn't dress up any of my pets, I don't want them to look like pathetic idiots either.
Yes, I dress up my Shih Tzu, Chloe, and she is fine with it. She loves people (she's a Registered Therapy Dog)
and loves the attention. She is a Gypsy Fortune Teller this year riding in a wagon float I made up to look like a gypsy wagon with crystal ball, Tarot cards, candle and tambourine props. She definitely turns heads! I started dressing up my dogs YEARS sgo before everyone was doing it and before they spld so many costumes in stores and online. I usually see my iwn costumes. If my dogs didn't like it, I wouldn't do it. We've won a number of BEST COSTUME awards. We have a ball being together.
How are "costumes" different than winter booties and jackets? I live waaay north and my pooches need booties to protect their paws and one needs a jacket. Neither one likes them but it's better than frost bite and better than keeping them locked up indoors all winter. I personally don't like fluffy,cute stuff even for myself let alone my dogs but that's a personal preference. Know your pet, see signs of stress, if you must put them in a pumpkin suit, train them slowly to enjoy it or at least not hate it and panic! Just like teaching them to like the groomer.
Costumes is for the human. if your pet likes it, it's because you tried it in the first place. they have fur, they don't need to wear clothes or costumes. i don't even find it cute. my kittens and dog look better without some silly human thing. i don't een have my pets dressed up in the sims and don't understand why people use their pets. yes, they are part of the family, but they are not your playthings. As it is, too many kids hurt their pets and see them as inferior.

Criminology/Criminal Justice
Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) degree
A four-year, 124-credit program which provides for advanced study beyond the Criminal Justice diploma program. Specifically, the program prepares students for front-line jobs after two years, but it also provides them with the opportunity beyond that (within an additional two years of study) to acquire a liberal arts orientation and the research skills, knowledge base, and analytical ability necessary for graduate studies and advanced career opportunities in the criminal justice field. This program will be of interest to people already working in the criminal justice field who seek supervisory positions, and to those who ultimately seek careers in the areas of criminal investigation, national security, evaluation research, crime prevention, offender case management (including probation and parole), and criminal law.
Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) degree with
minor or extended minor in another discipline
Students who choose to combine their BA in Criminal Justice with a minor or
extended minor in another discipline (e.g., Psychology, Sociology, History,

Dates and location
Full-time students are advised to register for the fall semester. Since many courses in the diploma and degree programs are sequential, students registering in January may be unable to take preliminary courses until the following September.
The normal university year is from September through April, with between 15 and 18 credits required in each of the fall and winter semesters. Students enrolled in field practice in any semester (normally requiring two full days per week) would normally take 9 credits in addition to the practicum. Occasionally, courses are challenged for credit, making it possible to complete the program more quickly. Mastery of course objectives must be demonstrated in order to successfully challenge a course; contact the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice for further information.
Program requirements
Upon acceptance to the Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) program, students will be required to
complete a criminal record check.
In accordance with the B.C. Government's Criminal Record Review Act, UFV requires all School of Criminology and Criminal Justice students to complete a
criminal record check through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. For
clarification and more details, please visit the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General's
To maintain their status as a program student, individuals with more than 15 credits must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.0. Further, to maintain status as a degree program student, individuals registering for upper-level criminology/criminal justice courses must possess a CGPA
of at least 2.5.
Practicum regulations
Acceptance into the BA (Criminal Justice) degree program does not guarantee practicum
The prerequisites for placement in CRIM 281 are:
The prerequisites for placement in CRIM 480 are:
Students must complete 200 hours of practicum work in each of CRIM 281 and CRIM 480.
Students who meet these requirements must complete CRIM 281 for the diploma, and CRIM 281 and CRIM 480 for the degree. Students who do not meet the requirement for CRIM 281 must take six lower-level credits of CRIM
electives in place of CRIM 281. Students who do not meet the requirements for CRIM 480 must take six upper-level credits of CRIM electives in place of CRIM 480. Students who did not qualify for CRIM 281 but
subsequently qualify for CRIM 480 must complete CRIM 480.
The Career Development Coordinator will work collaboratively with each student to identify
practicum sites that respond to individual learning interests and that provide criminal justice
learning opportunities.
Practicums are offered throughout the region of the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver, although other placement sites may be considered. Students are responsible for transportation to and from practicum sites. Students are also responsible for maintaining suitable personal appearance.
The BA (Criminal Justice) degree program must approve any agency or institution that provides
placements for student practicums, and reserves the right to change any placement assigned to a
student. The student has the right to be informed in writing of the reasons for any change in
placement. While the program accepts the responsibility to provide a sufficient number of
practicum opportunities to serve the needs of all registered students, a student may be required to
withdraw from a practicum course if none of the available practicum agencies will accept that
particular student.

A student who has a program GPA lower than 2.0 will be placed
on Academic Warning. A student on Academic Warning may not register in a course
Continuance in program
Students who do not maintain the required cumulative grade point average will be placed on Academic Warning for one semester. If you do not attain the required CGPA, you will be required to withdraw. Students who have been required to withdraw are not normally readmitted to the program.
Re-taking courses
The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice does not approve challenge requests from students who are asking to re-take a Criminology/Criminal Justice course. These students must register in, and complete the requirements for, a regularly timetabled section of the course.
Auditing courses
Students wishing to audit a course in Criminology/Criminal Justice must request permission from the instructor no later than the end of the fourth week of classes. No changes from regular to audit status will be permitted after this date.
A prerequisite is a requirement which must be met before a student enters a course or program. A P grade does not, unless stated otherwise, meet a prerequisite requirement. Students who do not have the stated prerequisite courses may not register in a course having these requirements without the permission of the instructor.
Transfer credit
At least 25% of the course work must be completed at UFV. However,
students must complete at least 50% of the upper-level Criminology/Criminal Justice
credits required for the degree and minor and extended minor at UFV.

met. This should be done by regular consultation with a Criminal Justice
Advisor. A minimum program GPA of 2.0 is required to graduate.

Results vs. @Allen (2008-02-19 19:00:00)
February 19, 2008
|Falcons Roll 120-91
|Tuesday, 19 February 2008
The Pfeiffer men's basketball team made 20 3-pointers, scored 66 first half points and defeated Allen University on the road Tuesday 120-91. The Falcons shot an amazing 59% (20-34) from beyond the arc, 84% (16-19) from the free throw line and 54% from the field (42-70). Pfeiffer also outrebounded Allen 47-31, forced 19 turnovers and led 66-40 at the half.
Logan Call again led Pfeiffer with 24 points on 8-11 shooting. He was 4-5 from the 3-point line, 4-4 at the free throw line, added six rebounds and four assists in only 18 minutes of playing time. Chris Woods again came up big on the backboards with 14 rebounds and scored 18 points on 8-12 from the field in 17 minutes of playing time. Thomas Carr had 15 points on 5-10 from beyond the arc. Robert McGriff had 12 points and four assists on 3-4 shooting and 6-6 at the charity stripe. Alvin Slaton had 11 points and was 3-4 from the 3-point line. Craig Thomas was a perfect 3-3 from the field and had seven rebounds and Jeff Pettiway had seven assists. Sophomore Derrick Truesdale and freshman Austin Haugh were both 2-2 from the 3-point line and freshman Jamie D'Amaral made his only 3-point attempt.
"I have seen some offensive explosions in my time at Pfeiffer, but I cannot ever remember making 20 3-point shots," said Pfeiffer coach Dave Davis. "These were much better shots than we have been taking as almost all of them came off dribble penetration and kick outs. We had a season high 26 assists and many times we had guys showing how unselfish they are by trading good shots for great ones. We had 18 offensive rebounds and several of our three's came off passes from these rebounds. Logan has been on a tear lately and Chris Wood's rebounding is the reason we are winning games. Our guys have worked very hard getting in the gym at night after they have practiced and getting up additional shots and that hard work is really starting to pay dividends. Our defensive effort was tremendous again and that is two games in a row we have played on both ends. Our rebounding was dominant tonight and we are a very good team when this happens."
Pfeiffer won for the 3rd time in a row and 13 of their last 14 games. The Falcons are 19-5 overall and 14-3 in Conference Carolina's. Pfeiffer travels to Anderson on Saturday and returns home for Belmont Abbey next Tuesday.

All Blacks coach Graham Henry believes that referee Craig Joubert's good rapport with the players bodes well for Sunday's World Cup final.
On Monday, Joubert was announced as the man to handle the showpiece match. In a tournament where referees have been heavily criticised for some dubious calls and in some instances a lackadaisical approach, Joubert has stood out as the most fair and consistent official. Many feel he deserved the final appointment, and Henry is among his admirers.
'He's a very good referee, relates well to the players, is very clear in his instruction, has got a lot of composure and has developed as one of the top refs in the world,' Henry told stuff.co.nz. 'It's pleasing because the players enjoy playing when he's referee, and that's a sign of a good ref.'
Joubert handled the breakdown well in last week's semifinal between the All Blacks and Wallabies. While France have no out-and-out fetcher to counter New Zealand's Richie McCaw, they have also been impressive in this facet of play. If they dominate the collisions, then they could also obtain just reward from Joubert, a referee who favours a dominant, attacking side.
Meanwhile, Henry has confirmed that the All Blacks have no serious injuries following Sunday's game in Auckland. Centre Ma'a Nonu (shoulder), Cory Jane, Andy Ellis (both nose) and Piri Weepu (virus) are expected to be available for the final.
