Big names often bring big bucks in the music industry.
But there are big problems for a local company that hoped to cash in on a security concert featuring a nationally-recognized rapper.
Locally-based Str8lace Entertainment, which successfully recruited Kirko Bangz to its "1st Annual Sickle Cell Summer Slam" a week ago Saturday at Balloon Fiesta Park, now faces a civil lawsuit.
According to city permit paperwork, the event was projected to bring 2,000 people.
"We feel like we were taken advantage of, and we can't get any resolve out of it," Mitchell Lawrence, owner of Lawrence Security said.
He filed the civil lawsuit Monday afternoon.
He said Str8lace Entertainment contacted his company seeking security services roughly a week before the event.
He ultimately had the group sign a contract for roughly $2,200, which included ten officers -- eight unarmed, two armed -- for roughly 15 hours of work.
The contract included a clause which said Str8lace Entertainment would pay Lawrence Security the day of the concert.
Since the concert, Lawrence said he's made repeated attempts to contact the group but hasn't had any success.
"And yet we're still waiting to get paid so we can pay these officers," he said.
Lawrence also contacted the Sickle Cell Council of New Mexico and learned the group was not an official organizer of the "Summer Slam."
KOB's investigative team spoke with the director of the Sickle Cell Council who said she was grateful for the increased sickle cell anemia awareness, but said her organization hasn't received any money from the event.
Lawrence said his business relied on the concert.
He said they turned down another opportunity elsewhere that weekend.
"I'm a small mom and pop business. The money that we do earn goes for our home, our car, our utilities," he said.

Everytime I read about Dikembe Mutombo and this Gold Scam he tried to pull, I always imagine him at a computer, chuckling sending emails about $23 million waiting for me in a bank account in the Congo, if I just hand over my bank account number. The short version of Mutombo's scam went like this. He was going to buy the gold on the cheap and then flip it for higher profits. Very similar to how drug dealers operate, to be honest. The deal went bad (shocking right), but there was some fall out from it. A Flight Attendant, who was working on one of the planes, that was supposed to ship the gold to Mutombom was arrested and now she is suing him. Mutombo was allegedly hoping to score $10 million by flipping Congolese gold — and it all went haywire when wanted warlord Bosco Ntaganda got involved. According to her suit, flight attendant Kelly Shannon was part of the crew aboard the plane Mutombo chartered to fly his associates and $7 million to pick up the gold … back in February 2011. In the docs, Shannon says their departure from the Congo was delayed for 2 days, and when the gold was finally being loaded onto the plane … armed guards showed up, arrested everyone, and held them at a hotel for the next 42 days. Shannon claims she's suffered severe emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder — and she's demanding unspecified damages. Mutombo wasn't on the flight (smart man), but reports are, that he didn't get his money back, so in the end, he took a big L. At least he has those Geico commercials to keep some money in his pocket.

The Green Belt movement has raised the alarm over the wanton destruction of Marmanet and Ol Arabel forests in Laikipia. The movement's senior projects officer Lilian Muchungi warned that the forest is on the verge of becoming extinct . She cautioned that the region isat the risk of facing an acute water shortage if the trend continues.
Muchungu blamed the massive destruction on charcoal burners and illegal loggers. "There is a looming crisis at the forest if the menace is not controlled immediately. Illegal loggers have moved to the forest where they are now cutting down indigenous trees while the government watches," she said.
She regretted that thousands of indigenous tress which have been in the forest for between three and four decades have now been cut down as a result of human encroachment.
Speaking when the organization officials toured the forests yesterday where they came face to face with the destruction, Muchungi regretted that charcoal burners were the worst contributors to the degradation of the forest. "They even burn and ferry charcoal in full glare of the police and members of the public while the government watched. What will happen if the trend continues for the next few months? She posed.
The official warned that the four main rivers which the forests serve as the source were now on the verge of drying up. The Rivers include Muktan, Ewaso Nyiro, Sandai and Ol Arabel.

Fabulous Collection Piece: Walrus Chair by Maximo Riera
Spanish designer Maximo Riera creates furniture pieces inspired by the fascinating animal world. Not too long ago, we featured two impressive furniture items on Freshome belonging to the same designer: the Octopus Chair and the Rhino Chair. Walrus is another seating unit with an aesthetic effect that is both strong and fascinating. Based on the alluring features of the large marine Arctic mammal, this new design dazzles the mind and senses. Elegant, refined and imposing, the chair can be a great addition to a minimalist contemporary interior, as to an office with a sober personality. Even though its size is considerable, we believe it makes quite a dramatic impression, a detail that could make up for it taking up a lot of space. We are looking forward to further witty comments from all of you out there enthusiastic or simply intrigued about this creative Maximo Riera collection.

YOUNG children of mothers who smoke suffer more and costlier respiratory illnesses than children of nonsmoking women, says a new study.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin in Madison analysed a ten-year-old database of American healthcare spending. After accounting for the effect of other factors such as the child's sex and the mother's level of education, they found that the children of mothers who smoke were 27 per cent more likely to have respiratory illnesses during their first six years. A smoking mother added $120 per child per year to healthcare costs.

'Go On's' Julie White on how 'Guys and Dolls' saved her from detentionAdd to Favorites | Go On
Julie White was having a terrific week: Her character, Anne on NBC's "Go On," had an important storyline; her indie film, "Language of a Broken Heart," opened; and her voice was the only other one heard in Holland Taylor's one-woman Broadway show, "Ann."
White, who has been an actor for decades, is happy.
"Go On," which airs Thursday, April 4, revolves around a grief counseling group Matthew Perry's character must attend.
"I love that my character is such an unusual character on television," White tells Zap2it of Anne, a lesbian whose partner died. "She is really a woman not about the male gaze at all, and with no apology at all. She is not part of the landscape.
"After you have acted as long as I have, your criteria for a part is, 'Please let it not be embarrassing in any way!' " White says.
White grew up in an artsy home in Austin, Texas. Her mom had been a theater major in the 1950s, and there was a player piano in the house. Though they staged plays and sang, she hadn't considered a future in acting.
It was detention that brought about her career. White's English teacher gave her detention whenever she was late, and soon she was loaded down with hours. White marched herself to the auditorium to serve her time, and the teacher was holding auditions.
"I watched auditions of 'Guys and Dolls' and saw those other kids, who did not have a player piano at home," White says. "I thought, 'I could do that.' I asked Mr. Singleton, 'If I go up and audition, would it lessen my detention?' I had only served about an hour. 'Yes. If you will audition, I will consider your detention served,' [he said]. So I learned the song and, of course, got the part."
Always in purse: "I hope that my keys are always in my purse," she says. "I am truly bad with keys."
Best dish she cooks: Fried chicken
Homestead: Family has had a ranch in Texas for over a century. "I can't wait to get out there when we finish shooting and see the bluebonnets," she says.
Favorite movies: "I loved 'Gone With the Wind.' The other that is really hokey is 'It's a Wonderful Life.' As far as a recent movie, I love 'Lincoln' and am very proud of it. 'The Adjustment Bureau' - it is the most romantic movie, and Matt Damon and this beautiful girl, Emily Blunt, have the most magical chemistry."
Favorite books: "I read the whole 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy every 10 years because I love it so much. As a Texan, I love Larry McMurtry. 'Lonesome Dove' is just stellar. I read all the time. I have so many books stacked up. Yesterday I read a book cover to cover, 'Chanel Bonfire,' a memoir of the most fabulous childhood written by Wendy Lawless. I love George Saunders."
Favorite music: "I have very lowbrow tastes, and I will go through periods where I listen to pop music on the radio, whatever (it) is. I love Beyonce, Mumford & Sons, Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert and ... Carrie Underwood. I like big ballad singers who make you cry. With Pandora radio, you can make your own station, and I went to a friend's house, and I stole her station, all that Brazilian music, Astrud Gilberto."

Malcolm David Kelley - Walt from 'Lost' - made a music video, and it's amazing
Malcolm David Kelley is living proof that child actors don't have to embark on a shame spiral culminating in calling the leader of the free world and his wife "ugly" -- ahem, Amanda Bynes. Walt from "Lost" decided to use his time in a much more productive manner, and we can't get enough of what he's created.
Making up half of the pop duo MKTO, Kelley and fellow actor Tony Oller (Disney Channel's "As the Bell Rings") just released the music video for their single, "Classic" -- and it is absolutely amazing for so many reasons.
There is nothing NSFW about this timeless, catchy tune, as Kelley and Oller obviously don't seem to feel the need to prove to everyone that they're "all grown up." They just let their music speak for them. The dance-ready, toe-tapping beat is coupled with complimentary, mature, smooth lyrics sung by Oller and rapped by Kelley.
"Classic" is a worthy follow-up to their first single, "Thank You" -- a politically minded, sarcastic view of the world from the perspective of America's youth. Check out the new video below:

Inorganic Chemistry - Course Description
Friday, August 22, 2014
The 10th grade chemistry block is an experience-based exploration of chemical processes, especially those involving salts, acids, and bases. We investigate the properties of solutions through experiments that involve dissolving various "salts" in water, the universal solvent, with varying temperature. We examine the importance of solubility and the "solubility limit", along with its temperature dependence. Students use microscopes to compare and contrast the various forms of substances, including crystals formed out of solution via precipitation and/or evaporation. Several relatively large crystals are slowly grown in the laboratory, demonstrating a variety of color and form.
The properties of acids, bases and salts are investigated in relation to our senses of taste and touch and their location and function within the human body. Standard indicators are introduced with their individual color spectra so that students learn how to test for the presence and relative strength of an acid or a base. Again through experimentation, we study the formation of acids and bases either as complementary pairs arising out of heating a salt or out of oxidation of a pure substance. The electrolysis of water and conductivity measurements help introduce concepts involving the structure of chemical compounds and clarify further the meaning of "pH".
If there is time, final experiments involve "displacement" reactions, with application to launching a projectile and the study of sodium metal.
Welcome to the Chicago Waldorf School classrooms!
This course description page introduces an area of the website that is a communications and resource bulletin for the faculty to share details about their classes and special subjects. This message board is a resource for the teacher to post information and impressions about the progress of the class and the students' activities. Ranging from a broad analysis of the learning goals of the year, to the specifics of a deadline for a homework assignment, you will find information about the activities of this class in these periodically updated posts.

Today, he seems chippy, callow, misogynistic, flashy and irritating, the worst kind of literary windbag.
Robert McCrum in the Observer, 27 March 2011
Oh dear! What are we to do with D. H. Lawrence? He is one of those writers that go and in out of favour, according to the tastes of the times and, frankly, in the early party of the twentieth-first century, when earthy sex is not all that high on the agenda, he looks more and more irrelevant. His reputation may well have been at its highest in the Sixties when the idea of getting back in touch with nature, primarily through sex, was more in tune with the Zeitgeist than it is now. Nowadays, his often tedious moralising cannot be ignored. His poems and paintings, frankly, have also started to looked tired and irrelevant. This is not to say that Lawrence is of no value. Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow and Women in Love are still fine novels but they are not the greatest novels in the English language that some of their supporters would have us believe.
David Herbert Lawrence was born in 1885 in Eastwood, near Nottingham. His father was a miner and his mother had been a schoolteacher. He had a difficult childhood as the family was poor, his parents quarreled all the time and he was frequently ill. He was very close to his mother, who wished to keep him out of the mines. He became a student teacher and started a relationship with Jessie Chambers, who became the model for Miriam in Sons and Lovers. While continuing to teach, he started writing poetry and then his first novels, but, after the death of his mother, he became very ill and gave up teaching.
In 1912 he met Frieda Weekley (née von Richthofen), the wife of his former professor, six years his senior and mother of three children. They fell in love and eloped to Germany. Much of the rest of their time together was spent travelling around. During the First World War, they were in England, where they were both persecuted by the police and Lawrence's novel, The Rainbow, was seized by the police and declared obscene. In 1919, they left for Italy but continued their travels - to Ceylon, Australia, the United States and Mexico. Their relationship became increasingly stormy and their financial situation was equally strained. Lawrence's health was getting worse and he found out that he had an advanced state of tuberculosis and only two years left to live. At this time, he became interested in painting, though he had the same trouble with his paintings as with his novels, when thirteen pictures were seized for obscenity by the police at an exhibition in London. In 1928 he finished his last and most controversial novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, which was not published in England and the United States in an unexpurgated version for over thirty years. Frieda took him to Germany and then the South of France to find a cure but he died in 1930 in Vence.

The first chapter of The Blueberry Years came singing out of Jim Minick, EMU's most recent storyteller at the Language and Literature Department's Writers Read.
It was just like that moment when I read it for the first time; all those moments I said "hmmm" to myself in pleasure could be said out loud, and all those moments I wished I could giggle outwardly but could not because I was in the library came true.
All his unnamed people, climbing from their cars and trucks to pick the blueberries on his farm, formed true shapes once again and each "baby- blue" could almost be felt between my fingers and under my tongue.
How could one chapter recounting so long an expanse of time, a whole picking season, be so visibly knitted together for us sitting far away in Common Grounds? And where can I go to find myself a bucket or two of those delectable sounding berries?
When Minick read his love poem starting with the image of silverware, and more specifically, spoons, he went flawlessly from the description of the slender curve of the spoon to the curving spine of a partner, hard and metal to warm skin and flesh suddenly out of one just as curvy sentence.
I turned to the person beside me with a feeling in-between an intimate flush and an up-nod of praise.
Finally, Minick's final selection and essay, which he described as having its three plots "braided" around each other to come to a connected point, gave me a clearer picture of the author in his every day life and even perhaps culturally.
The Appalachian native described his hunting practices, making them seem like an art in themselves in the ways he makes sure to find any deer he wounds but does not kill, to prevent cruelty in his work.
He spoke of his appreciation for the old ways, in feeding his hunting dog gristly venison and bone and "veggie smoothie," a replica of what their wolfish ancestors would have found in their prey's stomachs.
He then wove that narrative around his own desire to be vegan, based on a belief that heavy protein diets are a decaying way to eat, but that he does believe eating venison to be necessary.
The final strand of the essay explained this belief, and was the more informative and academic thread of the piece. Minick described how the overpopulation of deer destroy otherwise fruitful acres of land and underbrush, as well as leads to preventable car accidents and fatalities, not to mention all the billions of dollars spent by state governments to prevent those all from occurring.
Together, Minick's essay proved that some issues that seem uncomplicated, whether out in the world or personally, have many outside barriers and complications.
Wordsmith Minick makes this process of non-fiction look like a breeze. By telling the truth from so many angles and through the eyes of all the blueberry pickers, he unmistakably painted a world which I know nothing about, and yet could almost reach out and touch, or pick, or hunt alongside.

Well, that is the site- but there was a place in Kubuntu where you could download apps and updates and such. It was like a "program" that linked to the websites that had all the updates and such. Can't seem to find it now.
Mind if I ask why you prefer Gnome over KDE? Does it have anything to do with the GUI?
And thanks- hope the new HDD does solve the problem.
Sure would be a nice and simple fix- and better than buying a new copy of XP. Though I must say- Vista Ultimate is a massive temptation for me right now. I'm in love with Vista (I've tinkered with in on the computers at work), though I've never run it on a high end rig. None of the rigs Staples sells even comes close to mine in overall computing power- so to see how Vista performs on my rig would be awesome. Besides, all the killer things like DreamScene- and even chess! I love that chess game that is included with Windows Vista!
Okay, getting a bit carried away- you get the idea, I like Vista. Maybe while I'm at it, I'll buy a copy with my hard drive.

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's government officials are encouraging residents to decorate their homes with Christmas lights.
In the next couple weeks, officials will be judging citizens' outdoor decorations. Columbia City Common Council President Dan Weigold said the winners should be announced by the next council meeting, Dec. 10.
Weigold, who heads the contest, is promoting that citizens get in the Christmas spirit.
"I encourage people to get outside and decorate their homes," Weigold said. "It's a family tradition around here to drive around at night and look at Christmas lights."
In the past, the contest has been judged in four districts: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and Southeast. However, that may change this year, as Weigold said some districts are more decorative than others.
"One of the areas is very tough to come up with a winner. There are some beautiful houses in some of the quadrants that have yet to win," Weigold said. "Whereas other districts don't participate in the contest."
Last year's winner was Mike Cook, who lives on Shorewood Court in the northeast quadrant.

Wattleseed extract in the USA?
Hello! I recently got an ice cream maker (hooray!), and I was hoping to make a home version of one of my favorites, Vosges' wattleseed ice cream. Unfortunately, while I can find ground wattleseed here, I can't find the extract anywhere. I'm not willing to pay $60 shipping to get it direct from Australia (and yes, that is actually how much it costs from the supplier I found). Do any of you know where I might get some for a more reasonable price? Or, as a last resort, should I just try to use the ground stuff?
Thank so much!

Xperia neo gets Android 2.3.4 update ahead of schedule
Although the recently launched Xperia phones were meant to get the Android 2.3.4 update sometime in October, Sony Ericsson has decided to surprise everyone by releasing it ahead of schedule.
The first one to benefit from this generosity is the Xperia neo (others will be getting it soon as well). The update brings the firmware version from 4.0.A.2.368 to 4.0.1.A.0.283.
Along with adding Android specific updates such as the ability to make video calls from Google Talk, the Xperia neo will also get features like 3D Sweep Panorama, swipe-based text input, built-in screen capture function and enhancements to the Facebook integration, things we saw on the recently announced Xperia neo V and Xperia arc S.
If you haven't already, fire up the software update utility on your PC and see if your device has received the update and do let us know how it goes.

The accusation came as official figures showed that Police Scotland fulfilled the SNP's commitment to maintain 1000 extra police officers despite a slight drop last quarter.
There were 17,324 full-time equivalent officers on June 30, up 1090 since the SNP began its first term in government in 2007.
Officer numbers have dropped by 172 (-1.0%) since March 30 and by 49 (-0.3%) since June 30 last year.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said: "These statistics show our target to ensure 1000 extra police officers is continuing to be met, and exceeded, and that is welcome news for our communities. Our additional officers are keeping our streets safe and have helped reduce recorded crime to its lowest level for 39 years."
But Scottish Labour's Graeme Pearson MSP, said: "Despite the rhetoric from Kenny MacAskill, many of Scotland's officers are sitting behind desks.
"Chief Constable House has warned that there will be more job cuts to come. You don't need to be a cynic to know that the bulk of these cuts will happen after the referendum next year. The SNP's priority is to delay the consequences of their budget choices until that vote is out of the way. Scotland deserves better."

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — A sailor who was washed overboard hundreds of miles off the Virginia coast was pulled to safety on a merchant ship Monday, the Coast Guard said. Another sailor was found dead.
Lochlin Reidy, 58, of Woodbridge, Conn., was spotted about 4 a.m. after a Coast Guard plane saw a strobe light about 400 miles east of Virginia Beach, said Officer Krys Hannum, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.
Reidy was wearing a life jacket with the light attached. He was taken aboard the Sakura Express, a Panamanian-flagged tanker that was helping with the search. His condition was not immediately available.
Later Monday, Thomas Tighe, 65, of Patterson, N.Y., the boat's captain, was found dead in the water.
The Sakura Express, with Reidy and the body of Tighe on board, was scheduled to arrive in Boston Harbor today.
Three other sailors on the men's 45-foot sailboat said Tighe and Reidy were washed overboard as they were preparing a life raft to evacuate the crew after the boat began taking on water from 16- to 20-foot waves.

You may have often wondered why it is that beauty pageant are won by women from Latin American countries like Venezuela, or the most popular of Hollywood actresses are of Latin origin, or the best footballers are from this region, or simply why the most popular travel destinations are Italy, Greece or Spain.
The answer is that 'beauty', 'vitality' and 'youth', are directly related to our diet, and that the people of this region have healthy and relaxing food habits, which account for their beauty, ageless soft skin and energy, their wonder diet is the 'Mediterranean Diet'.
Mediterranean Diet:
A Mediterranean diet primarily consists of an abundance plant foods, fresh fruits, a high consumption of olive oil, legumes ,unrefined cereals, moderate amounts of dairy products like cheese and yogurt, adequate amounts of poultry, where as fish, red meat and wine are consumed in low in order to moderate amounts.
Another interesting quality of Mediterranean nutrition is that it is eaten slowly, well chewed and washed down with small amounts of wine. Their meals are a celebration of 'the goodness of life' and they have even found a solution for work stress: their famous 'afternoon siesta'.
Vegetables and Citrus fruits are good anti aging agents and help in rejuvenating the cells. Legumes, unrefined cereals, poultry and fish are rich in iron and help in forming red blood cells, which provides sufficient blood in the body and ensures adequate supply of oxygen to the cells, helping them to breathe and get simulated and as a result slowing the aging process.
Mediterranean Diet Combined With Lipo-13:
Along with the Mediterranean Diet, weight loss products like Lipo-13 y carbuloss can help you stay young.
Youthful looks are enhanced if body mass or weight of a person is low, a lean person looks younger and smarter, and his or her energy translates into improved productivity.
Lipo-13 is the product of detailed scientific research and was developed to help weight management in a responsible and safe way. This weight loss formula is the product of highly effective ingredients and contemporary methods. As the name suggests, Lipo-13 consists of 13 ingredients that possess 'synergetic' powers.
Its main ingredients are Green Tea, Guarana or the energy seed, Citrin HCA an ingredient that prevents fatty acids formation and suppress cravings, whereas ForsLean boosts metabolism and converts body fat into lean muscle, while BioPerine increases absorption of the other ingredients of Lipo-13. Yerba Mate is a herb native to Latin America, and other ingredients containing; Amino Acids, Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. In 2009, a clinical study of 50 obese women and men revealed an average decrease of 7.5% in total body weight after it was consumed for 12 weeks.
Furthermore Lipo 13 professes the 'extended release technology', where-in the outer shell of the tablets is so constructed that its ingredient medicinal properties are released gradually into the bloodstream, unlike most dietary supplements in tablet form, that dissolve almost instantly, and release their ingredients into the bloodstream so fast that the body doesn't have time to absorb them all.
Finally, as we all know, men and women have been intrigued with the 'Elixir of Youth' diet for time immemorial, but look no further; this amazing combination of the Mediterranean Diet and Lipo-13 has completely revealed the secret to youthful skin, a healthy body and a rejuvenated mind.

Okinawa Assembly demands that Okinawa Governor resign
January 10, 2013 Ryukyu Shimpo
The Okinawa Prefectural Assembly held an extraordinary session in the evening of January 10. The majority of the assembly members approved the resolution to demand that Okinawa Governor Hirokazu Nakaima resign. In the resolution, they protested against Nakaima's approval of the Henoko landfill to prepare to move the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. The members blamed him for violating his pledge to move the base outside Okinawa. Opposition parties, the neutral faction Souzo and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party coalition partner Komeito favored the resolution.
This is the first time since Okinawa's reversion to Japan that the prefectural assembly has passed a resolution demanding that the governor resign.
The opposition parties proposed the resolution. They pointed out that the governor violated his pledge made in the gubernatorial election campaign because he approved the government's application for the landfill. The parties blamed the governor for ignoring the resolution unanimously approved by the assembly. In this resolution, they opposed moving the base inside the prefecture, and demanded it outside Okinawa or Japan.
The resolution did not discuss about the pros and cons of Henoko relocation.
Before the resolution, most of the assembly members made up of the opposition parties and Komeito approved the written opinion. It asked the Japanese government to cancel the relocation, and to swiftly close and remove the base.

Act Six Initiative Expands to Spokane with Full Scholarships to Gonzaga, Whitworth
Nine Spokane-area students will be eligible for scholarships covering 100 percent of their financial need to attend Gonzaga or Whitworth universities beginning in fall 2009 through an expansion of the successful Act Six Leadership and Scholarship Initiative.
Launched in 2002 by the Tacoma-based Northwest Leadership Foundation in partnership with Whitworth, Act Six seeks to develop urban leaders to be agents of change on campuses and in their home communities. The program initially targeted first-generation, college-bound students from urban Tacoma but has since expanded to Seattle, Portland, Memphis, Tenn., and now Spokane. Gonzaga is the latest university affiliate, joining Crichton College, George Fox University, Northwest University, Pacific Lutheran University, Trinity Lutheran University and Whitworth.
Raymond Reyes, Gonzaga's associate mission vice president for intercultural relations, says Act Six is an ideal fit for the university's mission.
"Through its collaborative association with the Act Six Program, Gonzaga University animates the currency of its Jesuit roots and creates a highly effective way to manifest its institutional mission," Reyes says. "For many years to come, all members of our learning community, such as the Act Six scholars, the entire GU student body, and our faculty and staff, will benefit from this initiative that uniquely braids the promise and practice of cultural diversity, leadership development and academic rigor in service to the common good. St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, is smiling right now at this beautiful articulation of faith in the promotion of justice."
This fall, the sixth multicultural cadre of 10 Act Six scholars will enroll at Whitworth and, by December, 20 of the 21 scholars in the first two cadres will have graduated. Overall, 63 of 67 scholars originally selected for the program have graduated or are still enrolled at Whitworth – reflecting graduation and retention rates that far exceed national averages. Act Six scholars have been elected student-body president two of the past three years at Whitworth and have been involved in numerous other leadership roles on and off campus.
"Our scholars are having a profound impact through their leadership on campus and, as they begin to graduate, they are making a powerful and positive impact on the community," says Tim Herron, founder and national director of Act Six. "This is what we envisioned when we launched Act Six and what we hope can be replicated in Spokane."
Act Six in Spokane will be coordinated by Rodney McAuley, longtime civic leader and local director for the Northwest Leadership Foundation, a faith-based non-profit organization that seeks to encourage, strengthen and develop leadership for the spiritual and social renewal of the city. McAuley sees Act Six as a natural reflection of his Christian faith commitment to love one's neighbor across racial, ethnic, religious and socio-economic lines. But he also sees the program as a strategic investment in the economic and social well-being of the Spokane community.
"Even in this supposedly remote corner of the world, the demographics are shifting. Twenty-five percent of the Spokane Public Schools' population are students of color, compared with 8 percent in the overall population of the city," McAuley says. "Developing leaders who are practiced in the art of communicating across cultures and building bridges will strengthen Spokane's ability to compete in a world that is rapidly becoming more diverse and interconnected."
Herron, a former math teacher at Tacoma's Lincoln High School, developed Act Six after seeing many of his most promising students fail to complete college. He modeled the program after a similar initiative the Posse Foundation developed nearly 20 years ago to train and send groups of students to elite colleges.
Act Six develops leaders through a simple, but powerful, four-step strategy:
The rigorous selection process seeks to identify student leaders who are passionate about learning, eager to foster intercultural relationships, willing to step out of their comfort zones, committed to serving those around them, and ready to make a difference on campus and at home. The selection process also places high value on applicants' teamwork, critical thinking and communication skills, and academic potential.
Act Six, which is open to students from any Spokane-area high school, will provide five scholarships to attend Whitworth and four to attend Gonzaga. Applicants must be high-school seniors planning to graduate in 2009 or that have graduated from high school in 2007 or 2008. While ethnicity and family income are factors in selecting an intentionally diverse group of scholars, there are no income restrictions, and students from all ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
The deadline to apply is Nov. 1. A committee of community representatives led by McAuley will select a group of semifinalists for each college based on candidates' written applications and their participation in a half-day community-based workshop in the fall. Semifinalists will then visit one of the colleges in January for a four-part evaluation process after which the nine scholarship recipients will be chosen.
Students and parents can learn more about Act Six and download an application at www.actsix.org.

Aerobic fitness.
I started CF and the Zone in Dec. I weighed around 375-380 lbs. I am now 313lbs. I am following Starting Strength and am now strictly Zoneish/Paleo. My goal is continued fatloss while building muscle and strength. I completed the physical agility test for the Sherrifs dept. on Sat. I passed the test which is amazing in it self. Couldn't have done it 6 months ago. However, I was told by the administrator that I needed to work on my aerobic fitness if I am accepted. I am still a big guy at 6'2. I don't want to tear my knees up. I've been doing some sprinting along with walking. Will the sprinting do the trick? Am I being to impatient? Is there something else I can do or need to consider?
sprint-walk or sprint-rest intervals are fine.
Depends on how long the 'aerobic' distance is supposed to be. 400m or 800m repeats are particularly suckage but good if you need to do something like 1-4 or so miles.
Great job on the weight loss!
What is your time frame? What is the distance? How much walking have you been doing? Times per week? Duration?
I know this is contradictory to what Steven said but I would NOT recommend sprinting yet until you lose more weight. You are very correct when worry about your knees/lower body.
The first thing you need to do is get your weight down to a point where you can do some distance running without wrecking your knees and the most important aspect of achieving this is getting your diet under control so you can create a small negative energy balance and that's just a matter of applying some common sense and willpower to your food choices; lean meat and fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds are good, donuts are bad etc.
Distance running is going to be out of the question until you've lost some weight so I suggest you get a bike and just concentrate on building a good base level of aerobic conditioning which will help you lose some lard and limit sprint training to once or twice a week to save your knees. Any bike will do, it doesn't have to be expensive, in fact a cheap single-speed like most of us rode as kids is perfect for the job as it means you'll be forced to get out of the saddle and sprint more than you would if you had gears.
Once you've dropped some weight and you're aerobic conditionings improved you should start doing some running in the usual beginners mix of walking and running but if you feel any knee pain cut back on the distance running and get back on your bike so you can continue working on your aerobic conditioning and fat loss without risking injury.
What's the test at academy for aerobic fitness? Allan's right, sprints are a great recipe for injury until you get closer to your weight.
there's a ton of barbell or bodyweight complexes you can do in lieu of sprints for now.
Congrats! Im in the same boat actually. Down from just over 300 pounds to 250 as of Sunday. Ill be going into a sherrif's academy either this August, or Jan '09 depending on A - my preparedness (sp?) and B - if my connections can get me into the August academy (though it might be to late).
Until recently I havent ran since high school, need to get my time up to a 14 minute mile and a half. Not to mention all the running during training days.
Ive been following Starting Strength with the beggining runners program from runnersworld.com. Had to repeat the 'first week', 1-minute running (7.5 mph), 2-minutes walking (3 mph), for 4 weeks to work on form more than anything else, and no longer any expierence any ankle or knee pain. The program is an 8-week progression to a solid, 30-minute run. You might want to look into it.
Other than that, cant really offer much help, just tell ya what Im trying, though I still have some distance to go and am far from being an expert.
But again, congrats, I can tell ya from expierence, its a long, hard road, but your doing a damn good job.
Oh whoops, kind of glazed over the whole weight issue with knees thing. They're definitely right on that. Don't do too much yet.
Barbell complexes sounds like a good idea right now. Strong metabolic stress. As long as your diet and sleep is sound, the fat will keep on coming off.
Also, work on your running technique. NEVER land on your heels when you're running.
Sprinting WILL do the job for aerobic fitness *IF* the rest times are kept down. I'm not sure if you know much about the anaerobic vs. aerobic but as the sprinting volume drags on it will be more and more aerobic for energy.
I still recommend 400-800m intervals though. Those will rape you. HIIT is better for aerobic conditioning (provided enough volume but still less time than longer dirance running) than steady state running anyway. Well, at least for beginning and intermediate runners looking for aerobic conditioning + fat burn. One of the studies I looked at for HIIT vs. steady state showed that at 1/3 of the time for HIIT training (so for example, 20 minutes HIIT & 60 minutes steady state work) they had the same markers of fatty acid metabolism when all was said and done.
That's generally why metcon/hiit/tabata can complete with aerobic running in times for beginner and intermediate runners because they are significantly aerobic as the volume rises.
Larry, you're making a huge investement in yourself, and your career. You're agile and likley quite strong but your weight loss goals have very specific challenges.
The best advice I can give you is to get some real (not internet based) support in reaching your goal. Find a coach who has worked with people in your situation or at least find a training buddy or group to push you, prefferbly folks with similar goals.
You've got big brass balls for making it this far, don't let fitness wonks cloud your view of your goals. You're the man...Keep it up.

Overwhelming favourites Ivory Coast left it late to beat Togo 2-1 in their opening Africa Cup of Nations South Africa 2013 match played on Tuesday.
Arsenal striker Gervinho (below)scored a late volley to give the Elephants victory in the first Group D game. Yaya Toure put the Ivorians ahead with a deflected shot from 12 yards and he almost doubled his side's lead when his fierce drive hit the post moments before Togo equalised.
But Togo, led by the returning captain Emmanuel Adebayor, fought back to restore parity just before half-time thanks to Jonathan Ayite, who swept in a corner.
However, just when the Togolese thought they had snatched at least a point off the tournament favourites, Gervinho met Yaya Toure's well-taken free-kick at the far post to clinch the win. After Yaya's opening goal on the 8th minute and Ayite's equaliser on the stroke of half time, there literally nothing to choose between the teams, who seemed too happy to simply cancel each other out-and at times, it looked boring on the eye.
Ivory Coast, looking for their first title since 1992, created the better scoring chance without causing much trouble for Togo keeper Agassa, who apart from picking the ball from the back of his net twice, didn't do much in terms of saves. The captain Didier Drogba failed to add to his 10 Africa Cup of Nations goals and it came as no surprise when he was hauled off midway through the second half.
Nonetheless, it was a win the Ivorians just about deserved for showing more resilience and hunger to get off the mark with a win, which puts them top of group D, and also brought only the second win of the tournament after Mali's victory over Niger.
Group D:
Ivory C 2-1 Togo

Not all gelato cases are created equal
With many brands in the market place today and so many used cases available I must shout out to try to help. Not all gelato display cases are created equally. In fact not all display cases saying they are gelato cases are really gelato cases. I will go over what makes a gelato case a true gelato case and what should be thought of before the purchase.
A true gelato case displays the gelato in a 5lt pan that is 14"L x 6 .5"W x 5"T. This European pan size is close to our American 3rd pan but not really. If the display case is showing an American 3rd pan run! This is typical from some crafty dealers with cheap ice cream cases, usually a slide top for novelties or a normal ice cream case. This is a sad situation when we hear of this, the customer typically pays around $3,000.00 for a case that cost under id="mce_marker",000.00 but they hang a rack to hold pans. Sadly the freezer was made to display loose novelties or tubs of ice cream. The cold air plumes off of the side walls and should move around the display but with the rack in place the cold is below the pans at knee level and makes the bottom of the pans too hard to scoop while the top is melts. This customer would have been better off just buying the ice cream case the way it comes and use round tubs. In this case whether the gelato is in pans or tubs it does not matter since the display is not showing the gelato properly. The gelato is way too low in the case and typically displayed erratically.
The proper way to display gelato is at a slant so the customer can see the gelato anywhere they get a glance at the display case. To achieve the slant, a true gelato display is made like a walk in freezer with evaporator coils and fans to blow the cold air around the gelato allowing for the shelf slant. This is called a vented display. The big thing to watch out for is how well the vented display defrosts. As the air flows through the evaporator coils the humidity in the air sticks to the coils as ice. Ice is the enemy blocking the air flow making warm spots in the case. Some gelato display cases boast a patented defrost cycle with hot gas while others use an electric element to heat up and melt the ice. A few brands have to be thawed out every night and list their cases as daily merchandizers. These units take a bit more back room freezer to hold your display gelato each evening. Even the best gelato cases must be thawed out weekly.
Some beneficial features that make life easier when operating a gelato case are: *A pull down screen instead of plastic doors is nice because it allows more than one arm in the display and doors do not fall into your display when you bump into the plastic doors. *If the display has a controller with more than 4 buttons it will help when you need to adjust your temperature or do a manual defrost. If all your settings take a code of button pushing expect problems. It's nice to push a button that says set point or defrost. *A good gelato case will have an Engine that has a site glass to check for leeks with in the gas charge. This is a great tool to see if you're having a problem with a gas leak before calling a technician. *Multiple fans for pushing the cold air around, the more the better! *Drain Hose or condensate pan is an option; the drain hose is a nice option if you have a floor drain by the case so the hose can be directed to the drain. This is nice when it comes time to clean the display and drain the water, if a drip pan (condensate pan) is used its important not to allow dirty water into the pan.
Buying used is scary, just in the past few weeks we have got many calls from new gelato customers that have been swindled by a restaurant equipment dealer. Please be careful with used equipment. It's best to hold 50% of the payment to make sure the seller is being honest. It's typical in the used market to hear "as good as new" but the case is really spent and should be sold for scraps. If you are lucky enough to find a good used case hopefully you got it through your gelato supplier so you have someone on the hook when you have problems. We view it as a vested interest to keep our clients up and running because if there case is down and there not selling gelato we also are down and not selling gelato.
Proper certification for the United States is needed for all restaurant equipment. In Europe the simple is CE but our American inspectors do not except the CE stamp and are looking for NSF-7 and UL. In Italy they use the certification company ETL to certify the equipment to the American standard of NSF-7 and UL. Make sure the certification is active. Most dealers and companies from Italy will chance that you and your inspector will not be checking this and as far as they know the CE stamp is adequate but it's not. NSF-7 is the safety to have open food in the display case and the UL is for the safety of electric.

The Difference Between Gelato and Ice Cream
There's a lot of confusion as to the differences between ice cream and gelato, lets try to clear up some of these misconceptions. What we need to realize is that the Italian word "gelato" simply translates as "ice cream." Gelato, the original ice cream, was produced in a very crude manner, in a tub with ice and salt, stirred by hand. As this mixture froze with a slow-stirring motion, air wasn't likely to be whipped into the product.
So where did the process change?
We can trace the changes back to the American Industrial Revolution when machines were developed for the sole purpose of profit. At this time the continuous-freezer was developed. It could be set to whip up to 60% air into the frozen finished product. This is how America's Ice cream is produced today.
Most American brands of bulk ice cream and consumer-packed ice cream range from 60 to 120% overrun. (Overrun is the trade term for the amount of air whipped into the product. 100% overrun is 50% air.) While the most of the European-made machines for ice cream production haven't changed from the old-world churn style with a slow mixing speed.
Why is this important? It leads us to a discussion about dipping Loss and another difference between the two processes.
Because of its high air content, ice cream must be stored at a very cold temperature, usually around -8 degrees Fahrenheit, cold and hard, crucial to prevent the ice cream from shrinking onto itself. When the ice cream is this cold it forces the server to press down when making a scoop, and in doing so, this compresses out the air which is called, Dipping Loss.
Traditional Gelato on the other hand, should be under 20% overrun.
This low air-content and density has many benefits. Gelato can be scooped at a softer state, usually around +8 degrees Fahrenheit. The ease of scooping with little or no dipping loss makes the yield difference tremendous.
For example a 3 gallon tub of regular bulk ice cream will give you 50 4-ounce scoops, while a 2.5 gallon tub of gelato will yield 80 4-ounce scoops, almost 1 gallon more, even though the pack size is ½ gallon less.
By being so dense, gelato can achieve its creamy texture without the addition of high butterfat creams.
Let's talk about butterfat, another misconception between the two processes. The old school way of thinking, is that the higher the butterfat, the better the quality of ice cream.
This marketing technique was born when there was a new demand for a higher-quality ice cream. The pitch was to sell ice cream by the butterfat content knowing that consumers would pay up to three different price levels. Under 6% butterfat on the low end, 12 to 14% on a mid-range and 18 to 22% on the high end. Neglecting to address the air that's being whipped into the product to maximize profits!
The truth of the matter is that the creamy texture can come from taking steps to not allow air to be whipped into it. As a matter of fact the dense gelato provides a taste as creamy to the mouth at 8% butterfat as its high-air and high-butterfat cousin.
There are no guidelines on what can and can't be labeled as gelato.
Gelato should be under 20% overrun and keeping with tradition, it should be flavored from actual ingredients like strawberries or nuts, not from flavorings. As the gelato industry grows, we are seeing many misconceptions.
One is that gelato is fat-free. I find this one really silly since it is after all, frozen dairy. Why is this misconception out there? There are a few large companies selling Italian-exported gelato mixes (powdered mixes that are shelf-stable that will be reconstituted with milk.) Years ago these mixes DID contain dairy solids. Until the American Dairy Counsel lobbied to protect the American farmers by placing an unfriendly tariff on all dairy coming into America from Canada and Europe.
This led to a replacement of dairy solids with starches, vegetable oil solids and even gelatin. These companies changed their selling points to match the trends here in America boasting a fat-free ice cream.
I have even seen frozen products shipped from Italy labeled as gelato that actually contain no dairy in them at all. These oil and starch-based gelatos have a very short shelf-life, their oils and starches start to brake down in about 7-10 days. In retrospect the butterfats in the dairy-based gelato are sticky, unlike oil-solids and hold for up to 4-6 months depending on the flavor.
Again, gelato is simply ice cream...
Ice cream before the American Industrial Revolution blew it full of air and artificially flavored it. Gelato's butterfat should range from 4%-14% if it's made the Artisan way, fresh from the true raw ingredients.
On a simple flavor like vanilla, the butterfat should be the same as the content in the dairy being used. However, a flavor made with a few pounds of strawberries will draw down the finished butterfat content because of the water in the fruit, and a flavor made with mascarpone cheese would increase the finished butterfat.
So let's not focus on butterfat to be the deciding factor in your ice cream choice, instead consider the air content. Not only will you enjoy a higher yield and creamier texture, but also a longer shelf life and most importantly an ease of use.
Gelato pulled from a -10 freezer can safely sit on the counter (in a hot kitchen) for 30 minutes before having to worry about its integrity. This allows you the pastry chefs to mold it into different desserts without the fear of it melting. As far as I'm concerned as long as creativity and fresh ingredients are used, you will have wonderful gelato.

The 8 best quotes from The CW's Bad Ass Boys TCA panelAdd to Favorites | Supernatural
Last week, the networks brought their stars to Pasadena to talk with TV journalists at the biannual Television Critics Association press tour. Because The CW loves us, the network lined up five of its handsomest men to talk about the challenges of playing sexy badasses on TV.
The panel consisted of Kristoffer Polaha (Henry, "Ringer"), Wilson Bethel (Wade Kinsella, "Hart of Dixie"), Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester, "Supernatural"), Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass, "Gossip Girl"), Joseph Morgan (Klaus, "The Vampire Diaries") and Shane West (Michael, "Nikita"). Spoiler alert: They're all hysterical. And hot. Very, very hot.
Here are our eight favorite quotes from the most enjoyable half-hour of Jan. 12, during which the word "badass" was uttered 91 times.
Ed Westwick answers his first question in his native British accent.
Polaha: Hold on a second. You're British?
Padalecki: Are you from Jersey?
Westwick: Australia. There's actually no difference.
Where does Sam rank this season in terms of badass-ness?
Padalecki: Well, you're familiar with the internationally standardized badass test?
Polaha: There are degrees of badass-ness.
Padalecki: You go from badass-ness to badass-dom.
What is your favorite part of your character?
Westwick: The money.
Padalecki: The hair.
How do you channel your inner badass?
Polaha: I'm being serious because there was a school ... Ed and I went there together. There's a school in New York City that's, like, an affiliation with NYU. And it's a school of badass‑ness, and they teach you how to get ‑‑ like as a method actor, how to become a badass actor.
Bethel: A lot of Steve McQueen.
Polaha: There's a lot of work in the face with being a bad‑ass, which is, like, sort of a steely ‑‑ and if someone talks to you ‑‑
Padalecki: Thousand‑yard stare?
Padalecki: Thousand‑yard stare?
Polaha: Yeah, you don't really answer right off.
Padalecki: There's a posture.
Westwick: It's all in the posture.
Polaha: That's all bad‑ass stuff. So there's a school ‑‑ there's a whole school on how to be a bad‑ass, and we take it pretty seriously.
Polaha offers $20 to the panelist who can use the word "badass" the most in one answer.
Bethel: If we have a pretty loose definition of what "badass" means -- if "badass" just means pretty cool ...
Padalecki: Oh, you're cheating.
Bethel: ... then badass ‑‑ I mean, well, "badass" can mean all kinds of things. "Badass" could be great. It could be ‑‑ "badass" could be bad. But I think the more important thing about "badass" is that it's really just doing something you love. When you approach "badass" with that kind of badass‑ness, ultimately what you're doing when you look in the mirror is seeing a badass.
Polaha: I think we have a winner.
Bethel: Ooh. Hey, guys, she's making that up. Ha-ha-ha. I only write poetry while I'm riding my motorcycle.
Padalecki: With your shirt off.
Bethel: Smoking weed. Chasing rattlesnakes.
Morgan answers a question about Klaus being both sympathetic and an evil villain.
Morgan: I think that it's possible to have someone who is sort of an antihero who does tear hearts out and break necks and still you can kind of relate to him on a certain level. I do worry...
Padalecki: ...there's going to be a hair contest?
Morgan: This [Klaus' flashback hair] was actually modeled on yours.
Padalecki: Puts me to shame.
And, presented completely out of context:
Padalecki: I can't think straight with this hot, naked man right ahead of me.

A Bangor Daily News article from May of 2012 entitled "Maine – the least-religious state in the nation" states that Maine has fewer residents who claim a religious affiliation than any other state in the union. Maine is the only one in the country in which less than 30 percent of the population belong to any religious denomination or independent Christian church. Keep in mind that they are including all religious affiliations in that 30 percent. Catholicism still dominates as the largest religious group in Maine. Other surveys have shown that New England — Maine in particular — is more secular than the rest of the nation. The article goes on to say that 8 out of every 1,000 people in Maine are Mormons. The International Pentecostal Holiness Church was the fastest growing denomination of the last decade with only 3 congregations and a total of 174 members. It is because of statistics like these that evangelicals and fundamentalists see Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire as very important, wide-open mission fields. (BDN article)

A heat flux split is one of the important technical issues in dual-cooled annular fuel. The inner and outer diameters of an annular pellet should be carefully controlled because they determine the inner and outer gap sizes and thereby influence the balance in a heat flux split. The outer diameter of a sintered annular pellet can be controlled to a final uniform size by a centerless grinding. However, it is difficult and unproductive to grind the inner surface of all annular pellets. To obtain a uniform inner diameter among annular pellets and to minimize a diametric tolerance without inner surface grinding, we applied a rigid rod-inserted sintering process to the annular pellet fabrication. An annular compact was first compacted with a double-acting press and then sintered with a precisely machined rigid rod inserted. The rigid rod can prevent an inhomogeneous deformation of the inner surface during sintering, and thus it controls the inner diameter of the sintered annular pellets and reduces the inner diametric tolerance of a sintered annular pellet without inner surface grinding.
