St. Paul Academy and Summit School (commonly known as SPA) is a college preparatory independent day school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States, for students in grades K–12.
The school was established through a merger in 1969 of St. Paul Academy, a school for boys, and Summit School, a school for girls. St. Paul Academy was founded in 1900 and Summit School in 1917. The school celebrated its centennial in 2000.[1] Accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, SPA is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the Cum Laude Society, and The College Board.
Recent commencement speakers have included Al Franken, Coretta Scott King, and Garrison Keillor.
In the Upper School (grades 9–12), SPA has a college-preparatory liberal arts curriculum.[2] SPA teaches an independent curriculum that does not follow either the AP or IB curriculum models, though individual students may opt to take AP tests. Courses have been taught using Harkness tables, distinctive elliptical wooden tables that seat 12–15 students, since 2005.[3] Each year, the school sends several juniors to semester-away programs including CITYterm in New York, Oxbow School in California, Maine Coast Semester in Maine, and Rocky Mountain Semester in Colorado.
SPA's English department offers students strong individual attention, helping students develop their analytical reading and writing skills. General courses are offered during freshman and sophomore years, while semester-long electives are offered during junior and senior years.
The language department offers instruction in French, German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese (simplified characters) and has optional international exchange programs for students in grades 10–12 with partner schools in France, Germany, Spain, and China. All students in grades K-5 study Spanish but then have the option to change their course of study in the Middle and Upper School.
For freshman through junior year, the history department has required courses that include two years of World History and one year of American history. In senior year, all history courses are electives.
SPA's math department offers a variety of courses that take most students through a study of Calculus as a senior, prefaced with Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus.
The science department at SPA offers earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics for freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years, respectively. In senior year, semester long electives are offered, including genetics, space science, marine biology, and field biology.
The music offerings include two jazz bands, one orchestra, string and wind ensembles, a large choir, a female choir, and a smaller choral group. The ensembles all offer a fall concert ("Pops Concert") where contemporary music is played as well as a spring concert where more traditional music is featured. SPA also hosts a free music competition every spring for singers and musicians from SPA and the surrounding area.
SPA has a laptop program in its Middle and Upper Schools whereby the school provides each student in 6th through 8th grade with a laptop and students in grades 9 through 10 must purchase one from the school. The program originally gave the middle schoolers Toshiba laptops, but instead is now giving them Nobi Netbooks. The laptops have a suite of programs on them, and much of the homework process is streamlined through Google Drive.[4]
Graduation requirements include that seniors complete a 5–8 minute speech in front of the Upper School on a topic of their choice (Senior Speech), as well as a month-long internship in May (Senior Project).
St. Paul Academy and Summit School is a member of the Independent Metro Athletic Conference (IMAC), part of the Minnesota State High School League. The school mascot is a Spartan, and the school's main rivals are Breck School, Blake School and Minnehaha Academy. According to school legend, SPA won the right to wear its school colors (Navy Blue and Vegas Gold) in a football game against Blake more than a century ago. The SPA-Blake rivalry is still regarded as the oldest high school rivalry in the state of Minnesota. SPA offers 15 varsity sports, and 34 teams. To date, Spartan sports teams have won 29 State titles since the school joined the MSHSL in 1975. Varsity letter-winners receive the Academy 'A', a reference to the longtime tradition of simply referring to the school as 'The Academy'.

SPA has the oldest varsity hockey squad in the state of Minnesota. The first official team was recorded in 1905. The opponents the team faced during the early years included local colleges St. Thomas as well as the University of Minnesota, which didn't field a varsity team until a few years after the Academy. The Hockey team has won five Minnesota Independent School League (MISL) tournaments, in 1941, 1942, 1961, 1962, and 1974.
The school consists of two campuses: the Goodrich Campus and the Randolph Campus.
- The Goodrich Campus, site of the old Summit School for girls, is the current home of the Lower School (grades K–5, ~290 students) and contains the Sarah Converse Auditorium, home of SPA theater productions. It is located at 1150 Goodrich Avenue.
- The Randolph Campus, site of the old St. Paul Academy for boys, is the current home of the Middle School (grades 6–8, ~240 students) as well as the Upper School (grades 9–12, ~380 students). Drake hockey arena and the Harry M. Drake Gallery are both located on this campus, 1712 Randolph Avenue.
School hours are from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with exceptions for after-school activities.
Art Program[edit]
With four orchestras, two bands, four choirs, and an annual Battle of the Bands, SPA has a standing culture in the arts. These options feature different musical opportunities for students. SPA's dramatic program also hosts a fall play, winter student-directed one-act plays, and a spring musical. The Huss Center for Performing Arts is expected to be completed on the Randolph Campus by 2015, with a large stage and rooms for artistic work to be displayed. Currently, theater is performed at the Goodrich Campus in the Sarah Converse Auditorium; studio arts are displayed in the Harry M. Drake gallery, and orchestral and choral performances are held in the O'Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University.
Academic teams[edit]
SPA currently has a Quiz Bowl team, which is registered with NAQT and participates in the Minnesota High School Quiz Bowl's East Division. [5] SPA sent its A team to NAQT's High School National Championship Tournament in 2014. They also have competitive math, debate and science teams. As of the 2014-2015 debate season, the debate team has made the Minnesota State High School Debate Tournament 14 straight years and 17 out of the last 18 years.

Fixed Asset Depreciation
Fixed Asset Depreciation
The Fixed Asset Depreciation extension package builds on the free Fixed Asset package and brings integration with the General Ledger. This package is designed to automate the calculation and posting of depreciation and give you much greater visibility over the value of your Fixed Assets. Rather than having a few G/L accounts holding a summarised asset value, now you can report on the specific make up of your asset value by each asset.
Purchase Fixed Assets via the Bank or via Accounts Payable and that purchase will be accounted for in the G/L and/or in Accounts Payable. Sell or scrap Fixed Assets also posts the appropriate General Ledger transactions.
With Fixed Asset Depreciation you define the depreciation method and calculation percentages by Asset Type and the package will then automatically calculate the monthly or annual depreciation expense. Once satisfied those entries are posted directly to the G/L without the need to manually enter journals. Asset Value, Accumulated Depreciation, Gain/Loss on Sale, Depreciation Expense and Scrap Expense are all managed via this extension package.
Depreciation expense calculations can also be scheduled automatically using the xtConnect package.
Please note this package requires the free Fixed Asset package to be previously installed. The Fixed Asset packages requires xTuple version 3.6.
When you purchase Fixed Asset Depreciation you will receive a file called FixedAssetDepreciation-1.5.1.zip, which includes the following components:
- Fixed Asset Maintenance package (assetdepn-1.5.0.gz)
- Free Fixed Asset package (asset-1.5.1.gz)
To install the Fixed Asset package files (which have a .gz extension), you'll need to use the free Updater application. You can read tips for using the Updater on xTuple.org.
To get support for Fixed Assets, please use the Fixed Assets support forum here: http://www.xtuple.org/forum/167.
Those purchasing this module are entitled to ongoing free maintenance for the life of this version. If you have purchased an earlier version of the package and wish to receive an update, please contact us.

Stomping Grounds PlaylandRead MoreStomping Grounds Playland is many things at once. Part play center, coffee bar, and restaurant, its target demographic spans generations, all of whom should find plenty to do within its 7,000 square-foot facility or 2,000 square-foot playscape. A play structure delights kids with obstacles and colorful tunnels, and an expanded toddler area keeps the youngest visitors occupied. To fuel this fun, the onsite Brewster's Caf? serves up kid favorites such as hot dogs and mac and cheese. However, the caf? has even more options for adults?not to mention a dining area with free WiFi. Baristas pour cappuccino, organic chai tea, and specialty espresso drinks such as white-chocolate mochas. These caffeinated treats complement an array of signature sandwiches and salads. Stomping Grounds Playland also caters to parents with comprehensive party packages; party planners take care of everything, including food, activities, and all the paperwork required to receive a birthday wish.15415 Southwest Fwy.Sugar Land, TX US
Sugar Land Ice & Sports CenterRead MoreThe Sugar Land Ice & Sports Center conceals a chilly oasis for winter-sports fans to practice and have fun all year long, whether it's the day after Christmas or a steamy 100-degree afternoon in July. Between its two rinks, the center hosts staff-supervised public-skating sessions nearly every day in addition to a wide range of youth and adult hockey events—including practices for the former AHL champion Houston Aeros. Inside Rink A, a spacious seating area and café invites visitors to break from their icy escapades and reenergize with a snack. Also away from the ice, the onsite pro shop sharpens blades and repairs skates so clients can carve their way across rinks and the halls of imposing ice castles.16225 Lexington Blvd.Sugar Land, TX US
Santikos TheatersRead MoreGreek immigrant Louis Santikos founded his first movie theater in San Antonio in 1911, when silent moving pictures of train robberies and slapstick comedy were an exciting novelty. Today, the thriving regional theater empire continues the family tradition of dazzling audiences with attractions such as IMAX sensory journeys. Santikos's expansive theaters house up to 19 screens of first-run cinematic entertainment at some locations. Equipped with popcorn and sodas, moviegoers can nervously munch and sip their way through every pulse-pounding car chase, tragic missed connection, or gripping montage of drying paint. Screenings in 3-D of select films are brought to life by the gloriously immersive illuminations of Xpand 3-D projectors.7301 Grand Pkwy.Richmond, TX US
George Ranch Historical ParkRead MoreGeorge Ranch Historical Park, only half an hour southwest of Houston, is more than a representation of Texas history—it's the hundred-year story of a ranching family who lived their lives on the park's very soil. The attractions tell their story, beginning with the Jones Stock Farm—a cattle operation circa 1830—where interpreters demonstrate old-fashioned skills amidst a traditional dog-trot log cabin. The Ryon Prairie Home unveils an 1860s image of a Texas Ranch home in the golden age of the cattle drive, and the Davis Mansion contains artifacts from Victorian-era Texas enjoyed by the wealthiest citizens of the 1890s. The final site, the George Ranch Complex, demonstrates ranching life as it happened in the 1930s, including barn structures and daily cattle demonstrations. Guides show off each building and era with historic tours, demonstrations, and living history exhibits such as a working blacksmith shop. The park's directors breathe life back into this history with interactive events, as well. They also schedule an array of yearly events such as military reenactments, and holiday-themed history lessons.10215 FM 762 RoadRichmond, TX US
All Stars Family GrillRead MoreAromas of grilled Black Angus burgers waft through All Stars Family Grill, where play spaces for toddlers to 12-year-olds are as much of an attraction as the hearty American fare. Entrees, sandwiches, and kid-size meals appear at the pickup counter with complimentary soft-serve ice cream, which incentivizes alfresco dining at picnic benches on the large, concrete patios. A pair of playgrounds, one designed for toddlers and the other for ages 5–12, entertains kids with slides and tunnels. Inside, wooden tables sprawl out under a checkerboard ceiling, which also decorates three private rooms ready with 50-inch plasma high-definition TVs and AV equipment. An arcade buzzes with 13 games including Madden and Target Terror, and flat-screen TVs sprinkled throughout the restaurant display sports, breaking news, and cartoons.26440 FM 1093 Rd, Ste 400Richmond, TX US
Rosenberg Railroad MuseumRead MoreIf it weren't for the railroad, there would be no Rosenberg. In 1880 the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Company extended their tracks across those of another railway, creating a junction that they named after the railway's president, Henry von Rosenberg. All that remains of this junction's original depot, from which the town of Rosenberg grew, is the signal tower, which is now the centerpiece of Rosenberg Railroad Museum's collection of historic railcars and other railway paraphernalia. Representing the full spectrum of passenger railcars, the collection includes a caboose—the living quarters of a train conductor—and a Canadian government business car, which in the 1920s had been appointed to transport dignitaries and prime ministers in comfort. At the museum's education center, an HO-gauge model train gives visitors a macro view of a rail network, and, up in the signal tower, an interlocking machine lets visitors play at train traffic control, using the same switches the towerman flipped back in 1903 to make sure only one train was routed through a junction at a time and no trains were routed down the tracks that just led straight off the edge of the world.1921 Avenue FRosenberg, TX US

Following the Israeli withdrawal from Ain el Mir in 1985, the village became the frontline. The Dagher family was displaced from their home, which was occupied by a radical resistance group for seven years. When the war ended in 1991, Ali Hashisho, a member of the Lebanese resistance stationed in the Dagher family house, wrote a letter to them justifying his occupation there, and welcoming them back home. He placed the letter inside the empty case of a B-10, 82mm mortar, and buried it in the garden. In November 2002, Akram Zaatari headed to Ain el Mir to excavate Ali's letter.
This title is also available on Radical Closure.

Popularity is a huge issue for me, yes. I have a very unusual name (I don't think it's technically an actual name) and while I hated that no one could pronounce or spell it at first, I'm happy my name isn't Jessica. (#1 name the year I was born.) Because of those reasons I want my children to have unusual names, but names that are easily pronounced and would be easy to spell. (Ex., Winter)
I love the name Violet but will probably not use it because of its increasing popularity. I'd prefer my favorites to not be in, at least the top 100.

I've met a lot of people with my name, but no one with my nickname. My name's popularity has never particularly bothered me, but I still wouldn't like to give any future children a name they'd have to share with three other kids in their class. Basically, the top 50 names are completely off-limits and the top 200 are only allowed if I really love them. (Sigh.

Diane Lefer: Most kids who don't finish haven't "dropped out." They've been "pushed out" by a culture of zero-tolerance, punishment, and removal that disproportionately affects children of color.
Progressive Media Advocates

Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

@Tyson Ho re: @Sommsayer. That was one of the most elegant flames I've seen in over 25 years on the 'net, and all the better that it is sincere. Rancor serves nobody but the troll who tried to score on you, so again Bravo! Well done!
Thanks for taking the time to write it all up, I've enjoyed watching. From what you've said, it seems you've made the best choices possible in the environment you were in.
Keep it up.
I too have zero interest in Facebook et al. on privacy grounds. I have no problem sharing with the SE community but not the world, especially if my comments are to be used in advertising.
Yes. I'm pretty paranoid about fire and so haven't had one in decades of cooking but you can't be SURE about everyone else in the household...
A simple example: back when I played at building furniture I needed precision machines to make up for a lack of skills that let a seasoned woodworker use just hand tools.
Restaurants run on incredibly thin margins and must rely on skilled cooks who can get good results despite limited tools.
I have the utmost respect for line cooks; I couldn't do that job on my best day.
Of course.
The real question is: will you like it once you thaw it? That will depend on how it was thickened and what the other ingredients are.
Try the version you care about in small quantity and report back with results and questions.
Cafe Du Mond brand chicory coffee is often available at Vietnamese restaurants and Asian markets. Check before you lug coffee back.
Beignets don't travel well so make it a point to sample as many different ones as you can so you know what they OUGHT to taste like.
1) check calibration of the thermometer
2) Stop roasting at 125
3) Maybe not rest before searing
4) worry about if the sear was really only 60 seconds each side.
I usually sous vide in a beer cooler (Kenji's hack) to 125 or so and then sear for 60-90 sec per side on a griddle on the gas BBQ (w/ oil) and am very happy with that.
What was the meat's color (or temperature) when you went to eat it?
It never hurts to provide information (it can always be ignored) but I doubt it makes a difference for Western knives as they're usually sharpened with a symmetrical bevel.
Asian knives, however are flat on one side and bevelled on the other. I'll have to leave the question of whether it matters to someone who uses them.
Is Ceviche too adventurous? If so, maybe as appetizer? Ours is the usual lime + alliums with warm spices (coriander, ginger, clove) and cayenne to taste, refrigerate at least 1 hour up to overnight.
We like bay scalops.
Some workarounds:
Dutch oven, cast-iron anything: any pot plus a 1/4" thick aluminum disk to spread heat evenly
standing mixer: keep your arm strong and go to no-knead breads
food processor: a good box grater and a sharp knife fills the bill
kitchen scale: really useful for portion control, baking and modernist cuisine. Fairly cheap these days, but if you don't worry about these, fake it.
ice cream machine: sorry, I rarely do ice cream. Didn't I see no-machine ice cream here not long ago?
any way to sharpen knives: like AnnieNT I can't get around this. 3rd-party sharpening is good, and I'm usually OK with a steel hone for touch-ups and a diamond steel to recover an edge that I've let slip too far (used the same as a hone). Cheap and you probably already know how to use it.
As I get older, though, I find I'm falling back on equipment to cover a failing body.
Only as a fritatta ingredient.
"where they weren't" is too easy too overlook.
@zucchini: Thanks: I'm totally stealing adapting this.
I wonder if the Modernist Cuisine M&C would work here. It's alleged not to break even under extreme provocation. Perhaps bring cooked elbows and a jar of cheese sauce, nuke the sauce at site and combine.
Be sure you know what your coworker means by "vegetarian". There is wide variation, Some variations are:
Vegans are very specific: no animal involvement whatsoever, including no honey, careful use of white sugar (some is whitened on charred bone), etc.
Eggs and milk products are OK
No flesh, but broth is OK
Fish is OK
"White" meats (chicken, modern pork) are OK.
A conversation with your "vegetarian" coworker will both help you understand what's possible and warm the heart of the coworker, as you'll make it clear you actually care.
Is the paranoia from the fire itself?
How did it hapen? Too hot a flame? Over-filled wok? A momentary inattention that went on too long? Some combination? How did you put it out? Could you do that again if you had to?
The brand and provenance of the wok don't much matter.
Figure out what went wrong and don't do that anymore. You'll be a better cook.
@Traveler: It's no-foolin' hard for a beginner, but after many ingredient purchases I managed to successfully produce my first and last Princess Torte. They're delicious but not worth the effort for me. That's what Pastry Chefs like @Anna [glad to see you again!] are for.
As for date molasses, I'd look in a shop selling Middle Eastern or maybe Indian ingredients. At a guess, "date syrup" may be related and is easier to find online.
Perhaps a simple decoration of (flavored) whipped cream?
I remember beating my head in over a Princess Torte in the 70s but I think rolled marzipan over the top is over the top.
@Les_ah: I don't have a definitive answer for you and would like to hear one.
I don't think the pepper I've tasted in kimchee is as hot as cayenne but it's way hotter than ancho. My guess is that of the choices you mention, New Mexicos, pasillas or cascabels (in that order) are the closest but wait for a better opinion.
@dnnythms, I'm grateful for the In & Out coverage; it's convinced me not to waste time or money on them the next time I'm out west.
Cutting boards: I buy plastic, the largest that will fit into a sink or gishwasher so it can be sanitized easily. People (guests) get weirded out if they see a discolored home cutting board.
For travel, I'm with Zinnia: for short trips you don't need much and for longer ones, buy a cheapo at the destination and expense it. Unless, of course, cooking is the point of the travel.
@Burger365: I was just about to add one to my collection. Do you recommend the flensing tip or not?
I generally ignore it but pass recipes that might be tasty and fit within the rules to my neighbor who's into it and claims it helps her.
Paleo probably won't hurt her and clearly the placebin (if nothing else) is helping her.
At least Paleo fadistas are thinking about their diet, however little. It's a start.
I haven't seen this on Serious Eats.
Looks great for searing. Kenji, please test.
I like the feature that sends me added comments to threads I've commented on.
Is there a way for me to flag a thread that I want to see comments on without adding an inane comment like "Ooh! Ooh! Tell me what's posted!"?
My apologies to those who had Car 54 inflicted on them.
As it turns out, no.
I took them out of the cooler, left them in their bags, put them in the fridge, said three "Hail Kenjis" and went to sleep.
Next day at lunch I opened the bags, wiped off grease and coagulated burger juice, salted them and put them on the oiled griddle on the gas BBQ.
Because they were cold I could let them stay a little longer than usual. Result: great crust, correct color, good burgers at a good temperature.
Note that I like my patties at 9 oz and Marty prefers 6 oz but both were just fine.
The only downside is that I thought they were a tad less juicy than usual. Sounds like a job for Burger Lab.
Kenjiburgers are not only better than what I used to make, they're now all but stress-free. You have to work at it to F*&^ them up.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 02: Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots carries a reception into the endzone past Antrel Rolle of the New York Giants for a first quarter touchdown on September 2, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Rob Gronkowski is on his way back. That's good news for the New England Patriots. Gronkowski, the best tight end in the NFL, returned to action for the first time since November 18 last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. While mildly favoring his used-to-be-broken forearm, Gronkowski took a third of New England's offensive snaps, catching two passes, one for a touchdown, while being targeted four times.The timeline has been as good as can be for Gronkowski. He was able to get in a little refresher course just before the playoffs, and since the Patriots earned a first-round bye, he'll have an extra week to get comfortable for a potential Super Bowl run. "I thought that all in all it was a fairly productive day and also an opportunity for him to get out there and get his legs back and get into a game and hear the communication and the tempo and the pace and all the different things that happen when you haven't played in over a month,"Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said ...

Brandy Snaps With Flavored Cream
|Golden syrup
|50 Gram
|50 Gram
|50 Gram
|Plain flour
|50 Gram
|1 Teaspoon
|Lemon juice
|1 Teaspoon
|Finely grated lemon rind
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Double cream
|150 Milliliter (1 1/2 Deciliter)
|2 Tablespoon
The original brandy snaps did contain brandy, but you get better value if you flavour the cream with brandy and put lemon juice in the wafers.
Measure the syrup, butter and sugar straight into a small pan and dissolve over low heat.
Off the heat beat in the sifted flour and ginger, lemon juice and rind.
Drop 4 or 5 small teaspoons of mixture, well apart to allow for spreading, on to an oiled baking tray.
Bake in centre of preheated oven, timing carefully, until lightly set and deep golden.
Remove from oven and leave for about 1 minute until firm enough to lift off the tray with a palette knife.
Roll loosely around the handle of a wooden spoon, working quickly before the snaps become too brittle.
Slide off the handle and cool on a wire rack.
Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
When cold, fill both ends with a little whipped cream flavoured with brandy.

Results for CU/Spencer Nelson Memorial Invitational - Day 2
ELDORA, Colo. -- Sophomore Joonas Rasanen earned his first Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association victory on Wednesday as he took the top podium spot in the slalom at the University of Colorado/Spencer Nelson Memorial Invitational in Eldora, Colo. The sophomore was in second place after his first run (49.49 seconds) and clocked a 56.58 in his second run to secure the winning time of 1:46.07. It's his second podium finish and his fourth top-5 finish.
The UNM Alpiners scored 188 points in the slalom, enough to earn third place in the event. After the Alpine portion of the meet, the Lobos have 401 points and sit in third place overall. Denver maintains its spot in first with 423.5 points while host Colorado used a complete women's slalom score to surpass the Lobos and take over the No. 2 spot with 417 points.
Sophomore Sean Horner and junior Juho-Pekka Penttinen placed seventh and ninth, respectively, to give the men's team 116 points. It was an RMISA career-high place for Horner and the eighth top-10 finish for Penttinen.
"On the guys' first run, over half of our guys went out," Alpine head coach Joe Downing said. ""It wasn't so much that it was slippery, it was just a different kind of course set. A lot of people go out on certain kinds of sets while some sets are a little more forgiving.
"We had three guys, though, that did great. Joonas with the victory was wonderful. We had two other guys step up huge to score points for the team. That was really important for us."
The Lobo women had two place in the top 10 for a score of 72 points. Senior Mary Rachel Hostetter finished an RMISA career-best fourth place while freshman Courtney Altringer placed ninth (2:03.80).
"On the women's side, Kate and A.C. went out on the first run, but both Courtney and M.R. stepped up on the second run and moved up in position so that was awesome," Downing said.
Hostetter posted a 1:02.36 on her first run, putting her in eighth place. She dropped nearly four seconds on her second run (58.21) to finish in fourth. Altringer was in 17th after completing the first run in 1:05.62. She shaved 7.44 seconds off run two to secure her third-consecutive RMISA top 10 finish in as many days. The Spokane, Wash., native finished sixth in the RMISA Alpine Qualifier (GS) on Monday and was fourth on Tuesday in the giant slalom.
"I think we held our ground today," Downing said. "We're still in there. It was a good day and having an individual win gives you some extra points for your team, which helps.
"I think we've got some work to do, but overall I can see the work that we've done has paid off. We've spent a lot of time in the gym and on the snow and the hard work these athletes have put in is showing."
The Alpine team has a one-day break from competition and will complete day two of the RMISA Alpine Qualifier (GS) on Friday, Jan. 11 in Winter Park, Colo.
The Nordic portion of the CU/Spencer Nelson Memorial Invite will be this weekend, Jan. 12-13.

1993 Audi S4 Q&A
1993 Audi S4 Question: A/C condensation not draining properly and water spraying onto feet
Car has only 60 k on it and last few years water spraying onto feet at passenger and driver's feet- hear water slushing around behind the console somewhere. Audi dealer said it was plugged drain and worked for awhile after draining quarts of water. Now drain tube unplugged and still water spraying out and dealer in San Antonio is stumped. What is causing this ? - Visitor
2 Answers
Answer 1
I have a 2002 Audi S4 with the same problem (passenger side only) I noticed that after heavy rains I hear sloshing water behind the dash and water dribbling onto the floor mat on the left side or the passenger floor mat. Dealer was stumped, independent audi repair man stumped. So here's the deal - recently I replaced my battery only to discover that in the battery compartment underneath the battery and battery holder there are two large drain holes, one directly under the battery and another a foot or so toward the driver's side. These holes were both plugged, basically from leaves and debris that had worked their way down in there over time. There is room for a lot of water (several quarts at least) in the battery well if these drains are plugged. When it gets full it drips into the passenger compartment, in my case always on the passengers side. I have had to clean these drains every six months to a year since my car had 20,000 miles. (now has 75,000 8 years old). Check it out - you can only access by removing the battery and battery holder. - garyaudi

Senate Panel Hearings on Iraq Abuses
Published: May 11, 2004
(Page 8 of 32)
GEN. TAGUBA: Sir, they refer to them as OGAs or MIs. And when I asked for clarification it's because of the way they wore their uniforms. Some of them did not wear a uniform, and so how would I ask them to clarify further if they knew any of these people? And they gave us names, as stipulated on their statements. They also gave us names of those who are MI, uniformed MI in personnel in the U.S. Army, and that was substantiated by the comments made to us by other witnesses as we conducted our interviews.
SEN. WARNER: Right. In simple words, your own soldiers' language, how did this happen?
GEN. TAGUBA: Failure in leadership, sir, from the brigade commander on down; lack of discipline; no training whatsoever; and no supervision. Supervisory omission was rampant. Those are my comments.
SEN. WARNER: Thank you very much. Senator Levin.
SEN. LEVIN: General Taguba, the ICRC said that the military intelligence officers at the prison confirmed to them that this was all part of the military intelligence process, these activities. Would you agree with the ICRC that coercive practices such as holding prisoners naked for extended periods of time were used, in their words, in a "systematic way" as part of a military intelligence process at the prison?
GEN. TAGUBA: Sir, I did not read the ICRC report.
SEN. LEVIN: Would you agree with that conclusion?
GEN. TAGUBA: Yes, sir, based on the evidence that was presented to us and what we gathered and what we reviewed. Yes, sir.
SEN. LEVIN: That's more than a failure of leadership. That's an active decision on the part of leadership. It's not just oversight or negligence or neglect or sloppiness, but purposeful, willful determination to use these techniques as part of an interrogation process. Would you include that in your definition of failure of leadership?
GEN. TAGUBA: Yes, sir. They were.
SEN. LEVIN: Secretary Cambone told us earlier, a few minutes ago, that the shift in command at the prison did not mean that the military intelligence commander had command authority over the MPs, but your report says the opposite; that the decision to transfer that command to the military intelligence commander did effectively put that commander in charge of the military police. Do you stick by your statement?
GEN. TAGUBA: That to me, sir?
SEN. LEVIN: Yes.
GEN. TAGUBA: Sir, the -- I did not question the order that was given to Colonel Pappas on the fragmentary order that he received on the 19th of November. That was not under my purview. I did ask him to elaborate on what his responsibilities were.
SEN. LEVIN: Your report states that that change in command, quote, "effectively made a military intelligence officer rather than an MP officer responsible for the MP units conducting detainee operations at that facility." Is that your conclusion?
GEN. TAGUBA: Yes, sir because the order gave him tactical control of all units that were residing at Abu Ghraib.
SEN. LEVIN: All right. Secretary Cambone, you disagree with that?
MR. CAMBONE: Tactical control is the question here. I --
SEN. LEVIN: Do you disagree with what the general just said?
MR. CAMBONE: Yes, sir.
SEN. LEVIN: Pardon?
MR. CAMBONE: I do. I do not believe that the order placing Colonel Pappas in charge gave him the authority to address the MPs' activities in direct op-con conditions. (To Gen. Taguba.) Is that true, General?
SEN. LEVIN: Thank you. No, it's okay. Let me just keep going then. You have just a disagreement over that. Secretary Cambone, in an article in last Sunday's Post -- in April 2003, the Defense Department approved about 20 interrogation techniques for use at Guantanamo that permit reversing normal sleep patterns of detainees, exposing them to heat, cold, sensory assault; and the use of these techniques required the approval of senior Pentagon officials and, in some cases, of Secretary Rumsfeld, according to that article. These procedures, according to the Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman, are controlled and approved on a case-by-case basis. And then it says that the Defense and intelligence officials said that similar guidelines have been approved for use on, quote, "high- value detainees in Iraq, those suspected of terrorism or of having knowledge of insurgency operations." Is that true? Were those techniques adopted for Guantanamo and were they then used or accepted or adapted for Iraq?
MR. CAMBONE: There are command-level guidelines for the use in interrogation. They are in some cases the same and in many cases not.
SEN. LEVIN: Not the same in Iraq?
MR. CAMBONE: Not the same.
SEN. LEVIN: In Iraq. Can you give us a copy of the guidelines?
MR. CAMBONE: I can do that.
SEN. LEVIN: Both. So there were specific guidelines for Guantanamo, and they were different from the guidelines for Iraq.
MR. CAMBONE: I believe that they were, and I will give you the comparisons.
SEN. LEVIN: All right. And you'll give those to the committee, then. Do you know that -- well, let me go to another issue, and that has to do with whether or not the -- let me start it this way. There was an interview in the Times last week, in which Major General Miller said that 50 techniques that the military officially uses in prisoner interrogations, including hooding, sleep deprivation and forcing prisoners into stress positions, have been adopted. Are you familiar with those 50 techniques?
MR. CAMBONE: There is in -- as I said in my opening statement, there are those techniques in Army doctrine. Yes, sir.
SEN. LEVIN: Those are 50 techniques?
MR. CAMBONE: I don't know that it's 50, sir, but there is --
SEN. LEVIN: But it includes stress positions?
MR. CAMBONE: I believe they do.
SEN. LEVIN: All right. And is that something that you will also supply to the committee?
MR. CAMBONE: We can supply the manual to you. Yes, sir.

If you're tracking the City of San Bernardino's legal actions against the Flesh Club, you'll be interested in a state Supreme Court decision Thursday that sends the issue over $1.4 million in lost profits back to the trial courts. Staff Writer Andrew Edwards tackled the issue for The Sun.
4:03 p.m.: CA Supreme Court reverses decision that city owes Flesh Club owners $1.4 million
By Andrew Edwards, Staff Writer
Article Launched: 04/24/2008 04:07:15 PM PDT
SAN BERNARDINO – The California Supreme Court today reversed an appellate court's decision that the city owed the Flesh Club's owners $1.4 million in lost profits.
The Supreme Court's action did not put an end to the case. Instead, the case is headed back to trial court and attorneys for both sides predicted they could win in that venue.
"We're in better shape now," City Attorney James F. Penman said.
The legal battle goes back to 1995. Then, City Hall obtained a court order in San Bernardino Superior Court to block nude dancing at Flesh Club, which is on Hospitality Lane.
However, that order was later dissolved and a jury eventually awarded Manta Management Corp. $1.4 million in lost profits, as nude dancing was blocked at Flesh Club from 1995 to 1999 during legal proceedings. The damages were based on the notion that the city could be held liable since the ordinance that functioned as the basis of the 1995 court order was judged to be unconstitutional.
But the state Supreme Court found that it was the 1995 court order itself, rather than the city's law, that shut down the club. In other words, the court found that it wasn't the city's fault that Manta lost money.
The state directed the case to return to trial court to settle the question of whether the 1995 court order would have been issued had the city given a judge correct information on how much land was set aside for adult businesses.
Both sides agree that a San Bernardino staffer overstated the amount of land where Flesh Club could have operated under the zoning laws in place when the legal battle began.
Penman expressed confidence that the city could prove that enough land was available. Manta's attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, responded that his side would prevail since the old zoning law was struck down.
"I think it's a foregone conclusion," Diamond said.

Diora Baird Quotes
(To Askmen magazine, printed in April 2007) Everybody has a card that says they're a producer. I learned very quickly that if a producer wants to have dinner with me, he doesn't want to cast me, he wants to fuck me. If he wants to call my manager and set up a meeting, then that's another thing.
(To Playboy magazine, printed in August 2004) It wasn't until in the last year and a half that I started making fun of myself and the fact that I have big boobs. I never really was comfortable with my large breasts. And I went to the plastic surgeon, and almost got a breast reduction. I didn't do it, thankfully.
(To Maxim magazine, printed in August 2006) I'm aware that people see me as a sex symbol, and it's getting me attention. But I know I can act.

Things are getting nasty between R&B singer Usher Raymond and ex-wife Tameka Foster in their ongoing custody battle. Nearly three years after their split the couple can't seem to put their differences aside. Yesterday Usher testified about his ex's ugly temper, accusing her of threatening him and his new girlfriend. Are these seriously grown people behaving in this manner? Well, apparently, yes. TMZ reports that Usher broke down when it was time for Foster's attorney to present the case that he was a bad dad. Foster's attorney argued that Usher rather party than be a father to their two sons, Naviyd Ely and Usher V.
In the video Usher is visibly emotional as he wipes his tears with Kleenex. Not only he is emotional, he's irritated by the question that he claims he already answered. As if the accusations of him being a party animal in opposed to a father wasn't enough, Foster's attorney pulled out photos of him partying in Europe to prove her point. This back and forth public battle is not a good look for either of them. We love Usher as an artist, but we want these two to get over themselves and do what's best for their children. Its been three years. Move on with your lives, people!

O'Neill Announces Supermodel Elyse Taylor as Global Brand Ambassador in New Multi-Role Partnership
Taylor to Co-Design Exclusive Swimwear Collection and Appear on O'Neill's "One Way Runway" in Ibiza, June 9th
Irvine, Calif. (May 31, 2011) - O'Neill (www.oneill.com), the original California surf, snow and youth lifestyle brand, today announcedthe extension of its partnership with international supermodel Elyse Taylor through 2012. In addition to serving as the international face of O'Neill in all advertising and marketing campaigns, Taylor will represent the brand at special events worldwide and assist in the design of a new exclusive swim collection, O'Neill by Elyse Taylor.
Born in Vaucluse, Sydney, Taylor is one of today's most coveted young models. She will make her first international appearance for O'Neill as a judge at O'Neill's "One Way Runway" event on June 9th in Ibiza, Spain.
As part of a high profile panel of judges, Taylor will judge twelve lucky finalists modelling O'Neill's new technically advanced Superkini, a revolutionary bikini with 200% more grip than a standard bikini. To demonstrate the Superkini's function, finalists must jump off the end of a 'One-Way Runway,' situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean, to win the ultimate prize package.
The competition, launched on Facebook in April, has already attracted over 45,000 returning visitors, over 1,800 entries across the world, and over 32,000 votes for model favorites.
"After working with Elyse over the past year in the U.S., we couldn't be more excited to have her on board on a global level," said Cedar Carter, Director of Marketing for O'Neill Girls. "Her signature collection is absolutely beautiful. She is a truly talented individual and we can't wait to see what the next year brings."
Taylor's expertise on the runway will carry her from judge and model to designer for the brand, as she takes on a more creative role co-designing an exclusive swimwear collection, O'Neill by Elyse Taylor. Debuting across the United States, Europe and Australia for Spring/Summer 2012, the O'Neill by Elyse Taylor collection consists of nine styles featuring high-end Italian fabrics, unique patterns, and feminine and vintage inspired details. Hues of grey and peach are prominent across styles, from bandeaus and sleek bra tops to specially cinched bottoms; and many pieces are meant to be mixed and matched.
"It has been great working with O'Neill over the past year and I'm honored to have the opportunity to get even more involved with the brand," said Taylor. "Growing up along the coast, the water and the beach were always part of my life, so it's great to work with an international brand that represents so many of my passions."
"This will be the very first time I've designed, and I'm thrilled to see another side of this industry," added Taylor. "The O'Neill by Elyse Taylor collection is all about simple, classic style: flattering, comfortable and sophisticated."

City girl considering culture and food lovers. Sarcastic humor, but kind heart required.
A great evening is attending a play in the city, having appetizers with a girlfriend, or plowing through my Netflix pile. I love theatre, dance, and performance of all kinds, and a well-mixed martini (vodka or gin, depending on the kind of day I've had). I moved to DC in 2001 to attend law school and continue to love living here -- the architecture, especially, and the ability to feel alone strolling near the White House on a Sunday afternoon. The free museums and world-class art aren't bad either. As for work, disability policy has slowly become my passion, but I try to leave room in my life for other interests -- fiction writing and occasionally editing film projects. In the near future, I'm determined to make traveling a hobby as well. I am frequently quiet, but friendly; usually happy and almost always grateful. It's difficult to spell out what I'm looking for in a potential match because I believe you never know until you meet. However, I appreciate a man who appreciates culture, can crack a joke, is open about who he is and what he wants, and loves trying all kinds of foods. I promise to do the same.

The lights are on
As far as I'm concerned, Fallout 3 showed gamers and the industry just what a video game should be. A huge, immersive world, unparalled choice, and a host of NPC's that did more than just clutter the landscape. Bethesda not only created the perfect setting for the return of this classic franchise, but they landed a dark sense of noire humor that pulled the player into the experience like never before. How disappointing it was to see that Obsidian's Fallout universe lacked so much of what made Fallout 3 one of the best games of all time.
The humor seemed forced and uncomfortable, like listening to a comedian who can't seem to quite land any one punchline. The bright, sunny skies of New Vegas just did not do justice to the "Fallout feel" and the Strip ended up being little but a number of mostly empty, heartless interiors. The quests lack any "wow factor", especially compared to huge moments like Fallout 3's destruction of Megaton. Nothing quite came together the way I hoped it would.
The idea of focusing on the different factions, especially Caesar's Legion, was easily the best addition to the game. Unfortunately, its implementation left something to be desired. Being locked out of certain missions was frustrating (especially with no urge for a second playthrough) and left gamers missing out on what could have been a story full of great double and triple crosses played against the different factions.
I must admit that New Vegas probably would have been seen as a better game if it had not followed the masterpiece that was Fallout 3. Nonetheless, this chapter of the Fallout Universe was one of my greatest disappointments in gaming history. I can't help but to put the blame on Obsidian, who should have let the masters stay at the helm.
I am sorry and I know it's your opinion but Fallout New Vegas was slightly better due to how well it was written, it was made by some of the original makers of the game...
Fallout 3 was the most far fetched Fallout and it was an interesting twist on the universe but I didn't expect it to happen again. The humor did lack in this game but not all the time, example Old World Blues. The big quest in New Vegas (the equivalent of Megaton) was unnecessary. That quest was there for one reason, karma and a home.
I don't know what else to tell you it's a great game, I still play it and all my other Fallouts
the main plot felt like it should have been a side plot. I had a hard time getting into it after playing eler scrolls and fallout 3.

In late 2012, the former head coach of the football team at Mankato State was exonerated of child pornography charges related to images of his children found on his cellphone. The judge had found the videos to be nothing more than recordings of innocent family antics—the criminal charges were thrown out of court.
Since we last discussed the troubling case, the coach has moved on in his career. He recently accepted a job with a college in North Dakota to serve as the head football coach. But, he is not finished with legal issues related to the 2012 charges in Minnesota. He has filed a petition with the court seeking to have the records of his case expunged.
In general, criminal records can have a long-lasting impact upon a person. While the coach has obtained a new job in this set of circumstances, criminal records can show up during background checks well into the future.
Professionals who need a license for their vocation may also face background checks during the licensing, or relicensing processes. Legal counsel can assist people in seeking expungement of records in appropriate cases.
In the coach's situation, he says that he was wrongly charged with a crime that he did not commit and seeks to have the records expunged, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The coach says that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says that the state agency has destroyed its records, but local officials have not responded to a request for destruction of records in the hands of police and prosecutors.
The judge has previously sealed records provided to the court from executive branch officials that were not used in court. The coach is asking the court to seal the remaining records.

Both the quantity and the quality of textiles from the South Coast of Peru demonstrate that weaving was of paramount importance to the Paracas people. This extraordinary mantle or cloak, made by early Paracas artists, is one of the most renowned Andean textiles in the world. Its small size suggests that it may have been used as an intimate ceremonial object.
The ninety figures decorating the border have been interpreted as a microcosm of life on Peru's south coast two thousand years ago, with a particular focus on agriculture. Many of the images illustrate native flora and fauna as well as cultivated plants. The order in which figures repeat has led some scholars to interpret the textile as a lunar calendar. Depictions of costumed figures may represent humans impersonating gods and acting as intermediaries between the real and supernatural worlds. Severed human "trophy" heads are shown as germinating seeds, suggesting the practice of ritual sacrifice and the interconnected cycles of birth and death.

The Soviet Union and the Arabian Peninsula (RLE Iran D)
In the first years of the Soviet regime there was little, if any, Soviet interest in Arabia and the Persian Gulf. Over the last fifty years relations between Russia and this part of the world have become more complex; this book traces their intricate history in a full analysis of Soviet policy towards the Arabian Peninsula.
It opens with a review of events from the beginning of the Soviet regime until 1975. The author goes on to consider the period between 1975 and 1978, concentrating especially on Soviet relations with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and South Yemen. The impact of the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic Republic in 1979 is examined in detail, with the emphasis on the situation in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and both North and South Yemen. Finally the author examines the effect on Soviet policy of the Iran-Iraq war and the subsequent insecurity in the Gulf region.
This study is based on mainly primary sources of Soviet, Arab, Iranian and Western origins.

Pulse Shift has been updated to 1.4.0.
Save files from 1.3.1 are no longer supported in new version because of several game changes as DLC integration in to main game. It is recommended to use clean installation or remove all files from "Profile" folder and "Controls.config" from "Config" folder. All in UserSettings.
Also interesting thing is that Desura already updated our game and deleted 1.3.1 (also standalone installer) what we didn't know. Our plan was to update game on desura later because of changes in save files and keep 1.3.1 just in case.
Changed and added things
- No longer need to press interaction key to collect bonus or holokey.
- Energy bar is invisible in chapter 0, chapter 1 and tutorial levels.
- Changed imprint uses
> Easy - unlimited number of uses
> Normal - 10x
> Hard - 5x
> Extreme - 3x
- Collected bonus is now visible in level menu
- Better tutorial
- DLC is now integrated into main game
> Can be found in bonus section same as for demo levels before and all levels are already unlocked
- Added rebind option for fast turning (Left Ctrl default)

Hello here is Pulse Shift dvd cover and label available to download.
Crazy physics toy with various of abilities such as gravity and time manipulation in many abstract levels.
i have a little problem. i want to try the demo but in the menu screen the command line is on and i can't create a profile and so can't play demo. any idea for reduce the command line??
Hello. Do you have Nvidia or Ati with pixel shader 3.0?
yes i do. Currently i have shader 5.0 on a geforce 660M
Hm, if there is not any warning message I don't know why is console active. You can try to set shaders manually to 3.0 or recommended, if you already set them 3.0 previously. Or change something in config (DX/OpenGL) or (Default rendering device/your card).
ok thanks i change the render system and it works fine now. btw this game is very great think i'm gonna buy it during the next few days.
Hello everybody!
Firstly congratulations to 3corestudio for developing this wonderful game =)
And if you're interested, I created a youtube playlist to show levels in time trial.
If many of us try it, we will find faster improvements =)
Good game at all.
Hello, I'm glad you like it and thanks for sharing :)
Any way to run this on a machine without Pixel Shader 3?
Hello. Probably not, game requires shaders for materials and post-effects.
Hello guys, I made my first walkthrough video from chapter 0 and I will continue, so if you´re stuck somewhere you can use this as help:) Youtube.com
Hello, thank you for making gameplay videos :)
(Sorry for my bad english^^)
Can you please add an "Customizes Key"-Option? I'm Left-handed, so it isn't very ergonomic to move my hand from my mouse, because I need to press the "E"-Button ;)
Good Game, like it! :)
Controls are done, available in next update.
That's really nice! That's what I call "customer service" ;) Thank you very much! :)
Hello, I'll try something.
Thanks :)
