Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day 27 focuses on one of the special moments in the program's history. The 2009 Southern Conference Championship was the 10th for Chattanooga and as a milestone number, it was a perfect 10 of a week leading into the tournament.
That's because NBC's Jimmy Fallon adopted the Chattanooga Mocs as his team for the 2009 NCAA Tournament. And when Jimmy Fallon is a fan, I mean he's a fan.
There was a segment every night of tournament week featuring the Mocs on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon". It started with his introduction claiming UTC as his team on Monday.
Tuesday the Roots took over with a song. A song is a light term. It was more an ode to John Shulman who was immortalized in lyric as the "Don Juan of the SoCon".
Wednesday the show brought members of the Pep Band and Spirit Squads to New York to be in studio and perform on the show. One of the Mocs most visible fans, Dennis Haskins ("Mr. Belding" from "Saved by the Bell") made an appearance to make sure Fallon stayed true to the blue. Shulman was also interviewed via Skype for the segment.
Thursday's game did not go the Mocs way against No. 1 seed UConn, but that did not temper Fallon's fervor for the school. He had a locker room talk to the team and fans.
Friday, the show flew in the team's six seniors - Nicchaeus Doaks, Zach Ferrell, Kevin Goffney, Khalil Hartwell, Stephen McDowell and Keyron Sheard - and head coach John Shulman to be recognized in studio.
At the time, Shulman summed it up quite well.
"It has been a big week for our team and these seniors," said Shulman. "The attention we have received and support from so many places makes it all the more special. This is a great opportunity to say thanks and give the seniors a chance to go out on a positive note.
"National television appearance," smiled Shulman. "I think that does it."
Click the attached video link to relive the week that was. The coverage became big news in the area and provided an estimated $500,000 worth of national exposure for the Mocs, the University, and the City of Chattanooga.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office. Single-game tickets are also on sale now.

USDA Cites The Chuck Olsen Co. Inc. in California for PACA Violations
AMS No. 228-12
Nadine Wilkins (202)720-8998
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2012 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has cited The Chuck Olsen Co. Inc., of Visalia, Calif., for violations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA).
The Chuck Olsen Co. Inc., violated section 2(4) of the PACA by its failure or refusal to truly and correctly account and make full payments promptly in connection with transactions involving perishable agricultural commodities sold in interstate commerce. The Chuck Olsen Co. Inc., contested the allegations.
To settle the complaint, USDA and The Chuck Olsen Co. Inc., have entered into a consent decision. The consent decision and order states that the companys license will be revoked for violating the PACA. However, the sanction will be held in abeyance as long as certain terms agreed to by USDA and The Chuck Olsen company, Inc., are satisfied. If the terms are not satisfied, the PACA license will be revoked and employment sanctions on those individuals held responsible will take effect immediately.
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), PACA Division, regulates fair trading practices of produce companies operating subject to the PACA, which includes buyers, sellers, commission merchants, dealers, and brokers within the fruit and vegetable industry. The USDA is authorized to suspend or revoke a companys license for violations of the PACA. All PACA oversight actions are conducted by AMS, an agency within USDA.
In the past three years, USDA resolved approximately 5,000 claims filed under the PACA involving almost $96 million. This is just one more way USDA continues to support the fruit and vegetable industry.
For further information, contact Josephine E. Jenkins, Acting Chief, Investigative Enforcement Branch, at (202) 720-6873, by fax at (202) 720-8868, or by email at

Thanks for the contest iMore!
Love everything about the iPad mini. Would love to have one!
I have an iPad 1, so I'm excited that the iPad mini has been announced. I'd love to win/get one!
329.00 seems like a lot of money for a smaller version of the iPad and only 16GB, I will have to think about this for a little while.
I would like to have one :)
This iPad Mini will get a lot of people using iOS. $329 starting price is so damn good. I think the black version is a lot more devilish compared to the white one. :D Good job to Apple for coming up with this. I can't wait to read iMore's review on this! Hope it is as epic as it looks.
woohoo!! I want one!
In on this!
Count me in. Cheers
Would sure be nice to win one!
Sooooooooooooo excited!!!!!
i want one!!!!!
Plz I hope I win

i would love to win one! i honestly have never won anything like this! would be amazing!! Love you iMore!
iWin please?
excited... wanna buy one. Why not win one. Thanks for the contest
I was hoping to buy two of these for Christmas presents but $660 is more than I want to spend. $100 less for 8 gb would have been great.
please choose me
Love your podcasts. iPad mini would be sweet. Keep up the great work!
iPad mini would be so nice for my dad, who always wanted to see his grandkids.
Thanks iMore !
Please pick me!
I'd love to win one of these!
Oh boy, I've been waiting for a smaller iPad for so long. This is just great! Smaller, thinner, lighter. And cute, might I add. Just the thing I've been waiting for.
Drives me crazy though that in my country, Poland, every single iDevice is always priced higher (and sometimes MUCH higher) than they are in the US.
Take the iPad mini for example: http://d.pr/i/tN4Q - it's 1449 PLN for the cheapest model! Which is like $483. To meat your price of $329 it should be about 987 PLN. But, of course, it's not.
Drives me absolutely crazy. It's like $154 more. Or put in other words, it's almost two times more (46% more). Why does it have to be so much more expensive here in Poland?
I guess the only thing left for me is to keep my fingers crossed and pray so maybe I can get one from you guys at iMoore.
After just 6 months, Apple is now releasing a new iPAD! Will the ever loyal Apple fans upgrade their iPAD 3 to this 4th generation iPAD in such short period of time? Let's see!
I love Apple products and would love to add mini iPad to my collections
Mini 4 me please!
Would love to win an iPad Mini, preferably in white/silver, but the black is nice too! :-)

The Mars rover Curiosity has discovered organic compounds on Mars. The evidence may be a sign of extraterrestrial life but does not yet support any conclusions. But for the sake of this discussion, assume that microbial life is about to be discovered on Mars.
1. How important is such a discovery? Will most folks see this as a big deal?
2. How does it change the conversation between atheists and religious apologists?
3. What are the implications for science and reason, theology and dogma, and the word of "holy" books?
4. Would we see Martian Life Deniers join the ranks of Evolution Deniers, Climate Change Deniers, and Holocaust Deniers?
I'm curious to hear the thoughts of the Think Atheist community.
Views: 651
Thou protesteth too much, my overly-presumptuous friend; although I was for most of my life a Christian believer, I am here in Think Atheist as a non-believer, to receive moral support and contextualization for my loss of faith.
There was no presumption, Darrell. You self-identify as a Christian under 'Religious Status' on your page.
In my above response, I approached nothing "from the wrong angle":
Of course you did. You wrote: "[C. S. Lewis] debunks the idea that such a discovery would immediately 'disprove' God or the Bible." Theists routinely employ the 'Prove there is no God' routine: an intellectually dishonest attempt to shunt 'burden of proof' onto atheists.
[C.S. Lewis] does indeed find no contradiction between extraterrestrial life—even intelligent life—and the Bible.
The Bible states explicitly that God created Heaven and Earth, and Heaven is a dome with lights affixed to the underside. Lewis can't touch extraterrestrial life without ignoring that the Bible implicitly says Earth is the only terrestrial anything.
Aristotle wrote, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it". That's what I just did above, see?
Admittedly I did not until you just now explained. You were playing devil's advocate. You don't buy Lewis, you're only presenting his ideas here. I get it now.
So please keep your 'magical gnomes' to yourself, and open up your mind.
My mind is open, just not so much that my brains fall out. But thank you for the advice. Mine in return: don't announce yourself as a Christian and present Christian arguments without a 'devil's advocate' disclaimer attached, unless you're prepared to be taken for a Christian.
And sheesh, find some more convincing evidence than the 'discovery' that the sky is not a solid dome; that one is not going to persuade anyone who understands poetry and figures of speech.
Christians insist the Bible is the perfect and true word of God. The Bible is wrong about the sky dome. Therefore, on that alone, the Bible is flawed and false. If you find that neither convincing nor persuasive, it's not due to some incongruity of the point, but rather your own resistance to it.
I think what he's trying to point out is that most (and my most I mean a small majority of) people don't take the creation myth to be absolutely 100% accurate. They read it as a metaphor that in a poetic way tells that God is the creator. Even the Catholic church teaches that it's simply a story and not to be considered as a portrayal of how the Earth and universe truly came about.
Considering that Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of Genesis give two different accounts, it's hard to see how they even manage to think there is something real to it at all even metaphorically.
The Bible doesn't say scripture is a mixture of truth and error, and that some parts are metaphors and others are literal. The Bible quite literally says every word is flawless, perfect, trustworthy, and unchanging.
"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." - PRO 30:5
"Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar." - PRO 30:6
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." REV 22:18,19
And Jesus himself doubled down om this notion: he specifically said not the teeniest part of God's Word can change until the end of the world.
"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." - MAT 5:18
I'm not sure if you aren't getting the point or just think it's inconsequential.
It's silly to try to get someone to not believe in something they already don't believe in. Pointing out the fact that the sky is not a solid dome is not going to change the perceptions of someone who already doesn't think of the sky as a solid dome. They'll just say, "Yeah, I know." Likewise, pointing out to someone that there is alien life on another planet won't matter one bit if they already think that life on another planet doesn't contradict their religious beliefs. C. S. Lewis would be one of those people.
That's what Darrel was trying to say.
What I said in my very first post on this thread is that people will rationalize what ever they can to fit their world and worldview. That's why so many Christians if pressed would say that the word of God is unerring, yet still say that some parts of the creation myth aren't correct with the world as it is. They pick and choose what they think is "true" and what isn't. (My friend calls them buffet Christians.) The whole thing is just an exercise in cognitive dissonance.
So you can try to argue with a Christian all you want to that because the story of creation is wrong therefore the Bible is not inerrant, but you won't convince anyone that the whole Bible is wrong that way. You'll just change what that person picks and chooses is true.
I'm not sure if you aren't getting the point or just think it's inconsequential.
It's inconsequential. Yes, a minority of Christians acknowledge Biblical cosmology is disproved. But that wasn't the argument Darrell presented.
That's what Darrel was trying to say.
I responded to what Darrell was actually saying: the discovery of extraterrestrial life would not disprove God and the Bible.
Of course it would. Bible cosmology according to God's word is already disproved many times over. The discovery of extraterrestrial life would be just another nail in the coffin. That's the point.
Naturally, most Christians take Genesis literally, resist evidences to the contrary, and pick-and-choose the rest. You seem to be saying this means it's pointless even to present the case at all. Are you?
Win or lose, some battles have to be fought. I say: lay bare the incongruity when you can. Otherwise, you acquiesce that willful ignorance is a trump card which invalidates points and renders the entire conversation worthless. I refuse to accept that.
You can refuse to accept it all you want to, but some people are unconvinceable and you'd just be wasting your time, which could be better spent on someone who can be convinced.
I didn't refuse to accept that some people are unconvinceable. I refused to accept willful ignorance as a debate tactic. Once the debate is joined do you fold when the other guy trots it out?
I'm a fan of picking and choosing my battles.
So am I. Debating religion with a stranger on a city bus is a waste of time. Debating religion online in a topical public community with a thousandfold membership is worthwhile. Your readership is comprised of those who agree, those on the fence (including my new friend Darrell), and the unconvinceable.
Debate effectively before an audience of the persuadable and some will learn and be persuaded. A good way to do that is exposing the incongruities of the unconvincible.
You think that the early church needed a review of the creation story, just to make sure the peeons got the bad details right? They can't have the peeons believing the wrong details, or thinking for themselves, without the priest class to hold their hand?
It was a sad moment for me while in time share catholic school, when I was drilled by the nuns and fellow students for reading a book on basic chemistry..;p(
It could take a while for the catholic church to respond. In 1992 they finally admitted that Galileo was right.
But Mother Theresa, the closet atheist, gets a fast-track to sainthood.
Oh and as to how important this discovery is? Not an earth shattering revelation by any means. "Organic molecules" is a long, long, long way from "life." They've found them in interstellar dust clouds, and it's hard to imagine a less likely place to find life simply because the density is so low.
The questions are regarding a hypothetical discovery of microbial life on Mars, not the actual recent discovery of organic molecules by Curiosity (although this was the inspiration).
"But for the sake of this discussion, assume that microbial life is about to be discovered on Mars."
Wouldn't a discovery like that have huge implications?
If the life is native to Mars then we are not alone in the universe. But the discovery of ancient non-native Martian microbes, or even ancient microbes with a shared Terran-Martian legacy would be pretty amazing.
What if they discover Martian life that originated on Earth but ended up on Mars through meteor strikes millions of years ago? What if they discover evidence that early microbial life on Earth actually originated on Mars?
Then we would know nature is capable of transporting microbial life (or the ingredients for it) across vast distances of space.

2014 Planning Update
The municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood and Langford collectively are participants of the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Service which is managed and operated by the Capital Regional District (CRD) in accordance with the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan (CALWMP).
The Province has confirmed that the CRD is responsible to implement secondary wastewater treatment in the Core Area within timelines prescribed in the CALWMP, by the federally legislated deadline of 2020.
While the approved CALWMP continues to identify McLoughlin Point as the location for the wastewater treatment facility, in April 2014, the Township of Esquimalt Council rejected the CRD's revised rezoning application to locate a wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point.
The CRD is undertaking a number of initiatives to move forward on meeting the legislated deadline. Read more >>
Work on the Seaterra Program is paused until a resolution on siting for the wastewater treatment plant can be reached, with the exception of completion of the Craigflower Pump Station and completion of the design for the Arbutus Road Attenuation Tank.

*10 P.M. Update*
A College Station man is dead after a strange crash Friday afternoon.
Investigators say his car went airborne over the railroad tracks and crashed at Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road.
45-year old Eric Lee Weir died at the scene.
News 3 spoke with one woman who saw it all happen.
A startling site for drivers in College Station as a speeding car went out of control through an intersection, flying over a railroad track berm where it landed in the woods behind Wellborn Road and Southwest Parkway.
45-Year-old Eric Lee Weir of College Station died in the crash.
Kassi Montgomery of College Station was traveling down Wellborn Road and couldn't believe it when she saw the car go by at what she estimates was 100 miles an hour.
"You couldn't even tell that a car went through there, it had just gone over that section of trees," she said.
She stopped to help but couldn't find the car because it was buried so far behind the road.
"I immediately pulled over and started dialing 911 before I had even gotten out of my vehicle," Montgomery said.
Nick West and his friends stopped to look when they saw smoke.
"We were just coming by going to the house you know. We drove by we could see the smoke coming up so we tried to get as close as we can. You can see the car back in there in the trees were laid over. We were trying to figure out where he hit from, it looked like it hit pretty fast," said West, of San Antonio.
According to his Facebook page, Weir was a 1986 graduate of Caldwell High School and got out of the Army in 1993.
Kassi Montgomery says it's a miracle she and others weren't killed when the car barreled through a red light.
"At that time of day you know it's a pretty well traveled area," Montgomery added.
Police are trying to figure out why he lost control.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
Investigators will reconstruct the accident scene starting at 6 A.M. Saturday.
*Previous Story*

The distillery was built in 1891 in Banffshire at the very heart of Speyside, between Rothes and Dufftown. Here are green pastures and heather-field and the distillery is in close proximity to the blissful confluence of rivers Spey and Fiddich. From the whisky distillery, perched high on the rock of Craigellachie, one can gaze over the village and namesake, and the quaint John Telford-designed bridge which crosses the river Spey. The water is drawn from a spring on Conval Hill and feeds the 3.6 million litre annual capacity of Craigellachie distillery. Co-founded by Alexander Edward, of Aultmore fame, and Peter Mackie, of the blending company White Horse, the buildings were designed by the reputable Speyside architect, Charles Doig. Lodgings were provided for the workforce in the form of terraced cottages. Each had their own small garden and every year White Horse would award the tenant with the best-kept garden. The casks and subsequent maturations are based off-site and the new make spirit is transported from Craigellachie to Dewar's Glasgow warehousing facilities. Dewar's have owned the distillery since Bacardi Martini acquired the company from Diageo in 1998. There have been independent bottlings as well as the sole official house bottling, the 2004-released fourteen year-old Craigellachie single malt.

Popular Southeast Asia Tech Trends to Look Forward to in 2014
With the tech industry booming in places like China, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, Southeast Asia has been enjoying a resounding level of success in 2013.
But how far are Asia's top developers and manufacturers expected to go in the near future, and what are the most notable forecasts for 2014 and the upcoming years?
The Influence of China's Growing Tech Market
A number of the largest ecommerce giants, smartphone manufacturers, search companies and internet services based in China have already began to expand their influence mainly to Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Also, a recent report from a news article about Southeast Asia market trends has revealed that some Chinese developers have even been outspending their US counterparts when it comes to advertising their services both in Asia and on a global scale.
2013 has already been witness to a remarkable surge in global interest created by a little known Chinese photo editor app that went viral last year, and experts say that continuing international success is in the forecast for China's top developers in 2014 as well.
Social eCommerce
Social commerce has been enjoying a remarkable growth in Asian countries in the past two years, with an incredible number of consumers already using major social media services and apps to connect to mainstream sales channels.
After a number of new platforms have provided improved alternatives for payment options and mobile ecommerce in 2013, this year, we can likely expect to see the number of brands seeking sales opportunities through mobile apps and new concepts such as F-commerce which haven't really caught on in the West as it was expected.
Asian Crowdfunding Projects
According to an informative news article about Southeast Asia tech trends, the growing interest in crowdfunding projects has raised more than $1.5 million, and the full potential of the region has not yet been reached.
Despite the fact that there have been few opportunities for small Asian companies to achieve success with crowdfunding on a global scale, local solutions continue to provide better availability and profits than were expected in past years, and a few large global platforms have also extended to Asia, promising more solutions in 2014 and the following years.
As you can see, there are many promising tech trends that are expected to emerge this year, and even if progress is slow in some areas, statistics show that new promotion platforms and improved scalability solutions are expected to improve the way companies in countries like China, Indonesia and Thailand will be communicating with their customers, leading to brand new opportunities in the upcoming years.
Group Travel Expected to Bring More Opportunities for Growth in Southeast Asia
Travel and tourism have always had a powerful impact in Southeast Asia, as the region is well-known for its hospitality and cultural diversity.
As mentioned in a news article about Southeast Asia that talks about the slow but definite infrastructural and economic growth in a significant number of regions in Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore or Indonesia, new options have become widely available for tourists and travelers from North America and Europe interested in visiting these countries through group travel solutions.
Why Is Group Travel Important?
There are several reasons why group travel may be important both for these Southeast Asian countries and their trading partners:
- The most obvious benefit is that group travel directly impacts the necessity for supply chains, transport solutions, as well as accommodation and facility upgrades – leading to more jobs and a greater opportunity for both small businesses and large retail chains to improve their profits.
- Communication, planning and customer support solutions are also in greater demand, as group travel requires significant preparation and customization.
- Banks and financial services are also positively influenced by the need for investments and financial security brought about by the large number of businesses and individuals involved in restructuring the tourism industry in Southeast Asia.
Although group travel has been the preferred choice of most travelers even before these changes, a number of positive changes involving the Southeast Asian economy, trade and infrastructural upgrades have sparked an even greater interest for group travel opportunities, and are expected to lead to further economic and trade improvements in the next few years.
The Impact of Improved Connectivity and Trade
In the past, Southeast Asian countries have suffered from poor international connectivity and trade, while bureaucratic limitations have lead to stagnation when it came to building or upgrading roads, ports and transportation means.
As a result of the global economic crisis, however, many of these countries have discovered a newfound opportunity for improving their infrastructure and profiting from the improved possibilities for trade and travel options that are slowly building a bond between them and European countries such as Italy, Germany or France.
The better opportunities presented to countries like Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam in the past few years have slowly lead to a significant growth of the middle class that has lead to increasing potential for building new facilities and quality accommodation options required by the already highly developed tourist industry in the area.
According to a recent news article about Southeast Asia, further international and intra-regional trade are expected in the region by the end of 2015, as well as a steady quality growth of the services, transport options and facilities provided for tourists and visitors interested in Southeast Asian group travel.
Progress Still Slow in Myanmar after the Country's Renewed Foreign Investment Policies
After decades of stagnation under military rule, Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country with a population of over 60 million, has finally opened up its borders, expecting to be flooded with foreign companies that have already been eyeing the country as a potential untapped source for investment opportunities.
Despite the impressive progress that the country has already made, a news article about Southeast Asia reforms and legislations has pointed out that there are still many challenges left to overcome before Myanmar can truly enjoy the prosperity it seeks.
Untapped Resources for Profit
From important beverage and tourism related brands to names that carry a lot of weight in the electronics manufacturing industry, Myanmar has received numerous visits from large and important foreign companies willing to expand their reach well within the borders of the Southeast Asian country.
Investment experts consider the country to be one of the greatest untapped resources for profit in the region, and tourism, food and beverage and various manufacturing industries are the ones where foreign companies have been most eager to test the potential that Myanmar's market has to offer.
Unfortunately, despite the drive and potential being high enough to support significantly profitable investments in the years to come, critics consider that certain issues – mostly of a legal nature – are expected to continue stalling the country's economic, educational and infrastructural development for quite some time.
Progress Stalled by Ineffective Legislation
As Myanmar's government has been pushing various laws to attempt the improvement of labor, investment and environmental standards, as well as to discourage issues such as corruption and stagnating reforms, these efforts have been widely criticized by foreign sources, many of which consider them to lack the transparency and decisiveness needed for bringing all the long awaited changes that both local and foreign businesses require.
In some places, the lack of proper infrastructure has also played a key role in the lagging progress the country has been experiencing. In other areas, foreign investors have faced the lack of properly distributed resources, poorly organized local businesses and even gender-based discrimination that the newfound legislation has had considerable issues in properly addressing.
Despite all this, many still consider Myanmar to be one of the most remarkably improving Asian countries of our time, and a news article about Southeast Asia and human rights issues has revealed that gender and age discrimination has diminished considerably in recent years.
Although there is still a long way to go before Myanmar can truly establish itself as an industry and trade leader, even critics have shown a few optimistic nods, admitting that the situation might not be as difficult as it would seem.
New Policies Expected to Improve Long Term Humanitarian Efforts in Philippine Crisis
The world's eyes have fallen on the Philippines at the end of 2013, as countless people's lives were left devastated in the wake of one of the most destructive storm in South Asia's recent recorded history: Typhoon Haiyan.
As relief efforts continue to alleviate the damage, subtle, yet significant changes have been recorded in the approach that countries such as the United States are employing in the hope of avoiding issues that have occurred during recent humanitarian aid efforts in other disaster struck parts of the world.
Haiyan's Devastating Effects
According to one news article about Southeast Asia, more than 6000 people have been killed in Philippine alone.
Also, overall it has been estimated that more than 13 million people have been adversely affected in some way by the typhoon's destructive force, 4 million of which have remained homeless after their homes were leveled or taken away by the strong currents.
Although some experts have high hopes for future efforts that local and international sources have been promoting in dealing with the losses, it is estimated that reconstruction costs could exceed 5 billion USD – a nearly inconceivable amount for the numerous people whose lives were destroyed by this natural calamity.
Learning from Past Mistakes
Despite the large scale catastrophe left in the wake of Haiyan, there have been reports according to which assistance and relief efforts brought by the US and other international allies have slowly but surely managed to reach even some of the more remote communities affected by the typhoon which local authorities were unable to provide assistance for.
These initiatives have sparked worldwide attention, as the policy of the US, as well as all other countries involved in the Philippine relief efforts, seemed to have changed compared to the events that drew criticism in recent past disasters such as those in Haiti in 2010.
US officials have explained that, although they continue to maintain a resolute drive in providing humanitarian aid in the area, they will mostly be focusing on a more dynamic approach to aiding and investing in their allies. Rather than a constant military presence in the Philippines, the US is expected to only have occasional rotational presences in the region for addressing key aspects of the relief effort.
The overall efforts brought by the US alone are estimated to have exceeded $40 million in supplies, hygiene kits and the restoration of clean water systems.
Also, another news article about Southeast Asia outlining the relief efforts started at the beginning of 2014 has revealed that other countries, such as Japan, have also followed in the footsteps of the United States in providing increased humanitarian efforts in the region.

This week we look back at some photos from 1998.
Anita McKinney, our first executive director, was leaving MSGL to live closer to her family in Florida. Her MSGL family held a farewell reception in her honor just before the winter break. These are photos of some of the children wishing her well.
Anita started working at MSGL in July, 1991 when the parent-owned school decided it needed a full-time. Up to then, the office staff coordinated with the Board of Directors. This next photo is actually from about 1996. It shows Anita with Beth Nichols, who was then the office manager, in the teeny, tiny office at Morton Center.
Beth is still with us and now works as our accountant. Anita has been working with Florida's Duval County Extension office since 1998. She is currently teaching personal financial management in Jacksonville. She is retiring in January and will start another "job" taking care of her twin grandchildren Dominic and Danica. She is excited about this new chapter in her life and told me, "They will be three by then , so I will start my own little Montessori home-school with them. I am looking forward to this next step!"
Best wishes, Anita! And happy Wednesday to you, faithful readers.
The MSGL photo archives are a bit disorganized and I usually have to sift through them to come up with a Wayback Wednesday post, but this week the work was already done. After leading the toddler families on this field trip to Lafayette's Columbian Park Zoo in the Spring of 1998, teacher Suman Harshvardhan put together this little photo album for the children.
These kiddos are college freshmen (or nearly) now. Thanks for reading and have a great Wednesday!
1998 was a big year for MSGL because we announced our expansion so we received lots of media coverage. This week's Wayback Wednesday post features another story from the Lafayette Journal and Courier. On July 7th, a story about our summer camp cooking class filled the 4 Kidz Only page. (I love that the J&C embraced phonetic spelling!)
The photos are beautiful and the children's quotes, especially about date math, are really sweet.
Featured teacher, Revati Nemani is still with MSGL today in the Catalpa class. The children featured in this article are now in college. Are any of them studying to be chefs? We would love to know. If you know Alie Magnante, Daniel Plesniak, Asher Bogdanove, or Andrew Staiger, please pass this along. It would be great to hear from them.
And maybe you and your young ones will give one of these recipes a go? We would love to hear about that, too.
15 years ago the Lafayette Journal and Courier announced MSGL's plans to add an elementary program and move all of its programs to a new space.
The Morton Community Center on Chauncey Avenue had been MSGL's home since 1985.
As the article states, the new elementary program was originally going to be housed in a home on Rainbow Drive that had been donated by an MSGL family. A change of plans relocated that first class to some available classroom space inside the Temple Israel on Cumberland Avenue.
In February 2001, all of our programs, from the parent-infant class through elementary, moved into our permanent home in the former Calvary Baptist church on Soldiers Home Road.
In 2007, the elementary classes moved into the Montessori House, a remodeled home adjacent to the campus.
MSGL has plans to expand once again in the near future to add a second toddler classroom and a gym/gross motor space.
Winter is upon us and the staff of the Wayback Wednesday department is preparing to head south for the season. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, we're not really going anywhere but we have discovered a treasure trove of awesome photos. We will be scanning them and organizing them over winter break. When everyone returns in January you can look forward to the beginning of "Building MSGL." It's the story of how our families built the MSGL campus that we know and love today.
To whet your appetites I am posting one photo from that winter of 2000. Look at this photo and see if you can figure out where in the school it is. The first commenter to get it correct wins a free Wayback Wednesday t-shirt. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, no t-shirt but you can still be first. Have fun guessing!
Have a terrific Wednesday and an awesome winter break!
Montessori School of Greater Lafayette Staff, 1992
Here are the year's class photos. If you recognize any of the children, all should be in their mid-twenties now, consider directing them here. We would love to hear from them and from the teachers.
Class A - Morning Preprimary, 1992
Class B - Morning Preprimary, 1992
Class D - Morning Preprimary, 1992
Class E - Afternoon Preprimary, 1992
Class C - 3-day and 5-day Toddlers, 1992
Class C - 2-day Toddlers, 1992
We're really reaching back here for Halloween gold - all the way back to 1989. Back in the day, the whole school had a costume parade in the Morton Center gymnasium. It was a big year for bunnies, clowns, and superheroes.

OH, I am a fan of both of the Ellises I find both of them very objective.
OH, I am a fan of both of the Ellises I find both of them very objective.
Yeah, but HIVE+ and I have been having a PM discussion about methods, so getting in to the papers from formal studies helps us decide which methods we can actually handle. Maybe I can't evaluate correlation between hygienic behavior and certain volatile compounds emitted by dead pupae, because I don't have GC/MS, but I can certainly build the cages from wood and hardware cloth used in this study by the same guys who did the heavy sugar study above.
"A strategy for using powdered sugar to reduce varroa populations in honey bee colonies"
Determining varroa on capped brood is best done by sacrificing the brood, but that's what you do with the drone brood strategy anyway. Instead of feeding the brood to the chickens, evidently you drown them in alcohol to kill and dislodge mites (at least, that's what these researchers do with samples of adults). A mason jar of moonshine ... uh, I mean denatured alcohol is evidently good enough labware. Hey, drones either get kicked out to starve or die the first time they have sex. Maybe drowning in booze is not a bad option.
A perfect example of my point: the whole idea of "heavy" treatments with powdered sugar is a moot point. Experience already tells us powdered sugar is dusted on, Thomas Dowda's method perfected by Dennis Murrell. Always worked for me anywhere there are mites. Why? It removes mites from the colony when a mite count tells you the hive is approaching the economic threshold. Removing mites DECREASES the mite load. This combined with drone culling works anywhere. Brood is usually covered with bees anyway and the benefit exponentially out weighs the risk and as you pointed out drones are a dime a dozen.
Not saying stop reading journals, just don't blanket apply them without observing and adjusting. Environmental differenced require it.
Like I said, I'm more interested in the methods. Some of you guys already know these tricks but I'm scrambling to learn. Ferinstance, Mr. Bush mentioned an alcohol wash and I was not familiar with it. But one of the papers used the method, described what they were looking for, and now I know it is not some benevolent way of getting you bees all nice and clean and refreshed. But it gives the ability to count mites accurately on a sample of unfortunate bees, when otherwise you'd hardly spot any by just eyeballing frames.
If I want to study one of these factors that has not been looked at yet, I need to learn these methods.
Whatever I can learn hanging around this forum, or in bee class, or from a soon-to-be-assigned mentor is great as well. Fact is, I'm wallowing in this stuff and can't wait for mid-April when we pick up our nucs. Sorry, Duncan, I can't learn from my bees yet 'cause all I got is a couple of empty 8-frame hives. So instead I'm hitting the books, etc, and getting the stuff ready to go. Really pretty paint job on my supers, though.
Actually someone else mentioned an alcohol wash. I countered with a sugar shake... I don't like killing bees on purpose...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 40y 200h 37yTF
If I freeze drone brood I will have already done the murder ... might as well count the mites. I don't have chickens or a fish pond as some have suggested, and the last time I tried feeding bark beetle larvae to the birds, the ants got 'em first.
Sorry I assumed.....But you are in for a fascinating ride. Good luck and be ready to report your observations because any one of us can learn something new, you may be the one who sees something I did not. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
Trying to attach a photo we took of mite infested drone brood.

Raymond T. Devine, 86, of Burlington passed away due to complications of life on February 14, 2013, at Fletcher Allen Health Care surrounded by family.
Ray was born in Montpelier to Thomas and Grace (Thayer) Devine on March 14, 1926, and attended Waterbury High School. On July 2, 1949, he married the former Alice Morse in Waterbury. He entered the U.S. Navy and served proudly from 1943 to 1946 in the Asiatic Pacific Theater of Operations and then again during the Korean War with the Vermont Army National Guard from 1950 to 1952.
Ray worked at Lane Manufacturing in Montpelier and later worked as a finish carpenter for several different companies. He retired from Sundown Corporation in 1991. His memberships included St. Andrew Catholic Church and the Harry N. Cutting American Legion Post 59, both in Waterbury. Ray enjoyed woodworking in his shop, hunting, fishing and, most importantly, time with his family.
Surviving is his wife of 63 years, Alice Devine of Burlington; two sons, Richard (Gwen) Devine of Waterbury Center and Michael Devine and his companion, Jo-Ann Kenyon, of Burlington. He was very proud of his grandchildren, Andrew (Adrienne) of Merrimack, NH, Adam of Breckenridge, CO, Bridget (Marcin) of Williston, Derek of Burlington; and his great-grandchildren, Sophia, Noah and Natalie Eve; as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family. He also leaves his sister, Dorothy (Lyle) Peterson of So. Burlington. His brother, Robert Devine, and his parents predeceased him.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Waterbury on Wednesday, February 20, at 10 a.m. with a reception following in the Parish Hall. Friends called at the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home in Waterbury on Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. Later committal services will take place in Holy Cross Cemetery in Duxbury.
Raymond's family would like to extend their deep appreciation for the care, kindness and compassion shown by the staff and nurses with the VNA of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties, the State of Vermont Choices for Care Program and to Dr. Amy Siegel of Appletree Bay Medical Center in Burlington.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts would be appreciated to the Visiting Nurses Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties, 1110 Prim Road, Colchester, VT 05446 (www.vnacares.org), or the charity of one's choice.

Not long ago a woman who lives in The Valley and teaches at an elementary school in central Vermont posted a request on a social media site, seeking computers for her classroom.
It seems the kids in her class could not get any access to the school's too few computers so she took matters into her own hands so that her students could have computers to use.
But there is really something fundamentally wrong with how we fund education in Vermont if –16 years after the passage of Vermont's education funding reform, Act 60, and 10 years after Act 68, the law that "fixed" Act 60 – a school is so lacking in computers that a teacher has to go find her own.
Act 60/68 came upon the heels of Brigham versus the state of Vermont, a Supreme Court case wherein the formula by which the state funded education was challenged. The court ruled that schoolchildren in Vermont are entitled to substantially equal educational opportunities.
That decision led to Act 60, which created a statewide property tax that penalized the states so-called "gold towns" for their property wealth. Act 68 was an attempt to fix some of Act 60's most egregious flaws and now Vermont has an income-based statewide education funding/property tax system where people receive a break on their property taxes based on their income – up to a certain income level when they pay full freight.
But something is not working right if an elementary school less than an hour from us does not have enough computers for all students to have access. Whether or not one agrees that we're all just too damn plugged in all day every day (and we are) students being schooled without the same digital and technological tools as their peers are at a significant and unfair disadvantage.
It is incredibly exciting that students at our own middle school joined middle-schoolers throughout New England in receiving iPads and no one would begrudge them their new digital learning tools. As a state, we must do a better job making sure that appropriate digital learning tools are available to all of the state's students – especially those whose teachers might not be as enterprising as the woman who lives here.

Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans
Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans is a State Bar of Texas program to develop and assist pro bono legal clinics throughout the state for military veterans who otherwise cannot afford or do not have access to the legal services they need.
The program was a major initiative of 2010-2011 State Bar of Texas President Terry Tottenham. "Our military servicemen and women have made great sacrifices in duty to their country," said Tottenham, a former Marine. "As lawyers, we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of a great many veterans - and in the families of soldiers who did not return."

I happened to have a .38 Special round on the desk, and just for kicks, stuck it to a Maadi bolt I had on hand. The extractor gripped the rim just fine. The .38 rim diameter was within .001" of the 7.62x39 cartridge I checked, as was the thickness.
Isn't that *interesting*...
I found Desert Eagle .357 magazines for $45 online. An AK in .357 Magnum would be nifty if the magazines weren't so expensive.
If I could still buy a kit in a bag for $75 I'd be tempted anyway.

As Rupert Tagnipes outlined in his article "High Availability with Dynamic Load Balancers," crafting a fault-tolerant, reliable website is critical to a company's online success. There's nothing worse than going to a website to do a transaction only to have it either be slow to respond or have an interaction time out. By setting up a load balancer in front of transactional web or application servers, companies can ensure their web presence is resilient, responsive, and gets information to their customers reliably.
GoGrid launched with a free load-balancing service in 2008. This year, we introduced our next-generation cloud load-balancing service on GoGrid. Embracing the software-defined networking (SDN) mantra, we created our load-balancing service to embrace the key characteristics of cloud computing: on-demand, usage-based, and distributed. I encourage you to read more about our Dynamic Load-Balancing service in Rupert's article.
Although understanding why load balancing is critical to success is important, knowing how to create a new GoGrid Dynamic Load Balancer is equally important. This How-To article will guide you quickly and easily down that path.
As always, I like to boil the process down to 3 easy steps. In the case of the Dynamic Load Balancer creation process, these steps are:

Sleet, freezing rain, snow. It is all expected today and Wednesday along the South Strand.
As a result, schools - and just about everything else - are closed today. A list of closings can be found at the top of the website.
The closing decisions were made because an accumulations of ice is expected which will cause dangerous driving conditions.
A winter storm warning is in place through Wednesday. The warning means significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations are anticipated. Preparations need to be made now in case there are power disruptions.
Georgetown County Emergency Management Director Sam Hodge said his office upgraded to an OPCON 4 status yesterday afternoon, meaning the office was at an "alert" status in preparation for a possible threat.
Today, the Emergency Management Agency will go to OPCON 3 which, Hodge said, means extra staff will be brought in to answer telephones and help with any situations that may arise.
The National Weather Service says the ice accumulations will be more significant along the coast. Snow amounts may exceed three inches.
Power outages, iced-over bridges and roads remain among the chief concerns. Winds will gust and overnight wind chills will drop into the teens Tuesday night, and high temperatures won't rise much above freezing until Thursday.
The heaviest precipitation is expected late this afternoon and overnight. Light snow may linger along the coast into Wednesday afternoon.
Very dangerous travel is expected to develop as roads become snow or ice covered. Where significant snow falls... blowing and drifting will cause severely reduced visibility. Bridges will be icy and extremely hazardous. Crews will be working to try to keep the bridges passable.
There may be lengthy power interruptions due to snow and ice accumulation on power lines... and as winds gust up to 30 mph during the height of the storm. The weight of the ice may also bring down tree limbs or topple whole trees.

Product Details
Tim Rajeff took the popular ECHO Classic rods and gave them a little more oomph in the bottom half to keep up with his slightly more abrupt power application.
The ECHO TR rods look like something from a TV battlefield and perform like they mean business. With modest tip power combined with a little extra butt power, ECHO TR rods will throw tighter loops farther than you ever dreamed possible. Load them up with a Skagit Compact head and they slow down enough to make fishing sink tips a breeze. Available from a 12 foot 5 weight trout spey all the way up to a 15 foot 10 weight big water stick. When your friends ask to borrow your ECHO TR rod, don't do it, you might not get it back.

Project Kotlin was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where one of the main JetBrains' development offices is located. Kotlin is the name of an island situated nearby Saint Petersburg, in the Gulf of Finland, with a beautiful town of Kronstadt build upon the island. The current logo was inspired by the probably imaginary connection of the word "Kotlin" with the word "Kettle", which was mentioned in Wikipedia by an unknown author.
Disclaimer 1: We believe that no coffee or other exotic cultures are grown in Kotlin in any noticeable quantities.
Disclaimer 2: Despite the fact that Kotlin Class Destroyers were named after the same island, our language is not intended for class destruction by any means.
