Bearcat Track and Field to Begin Season with Willamette Opener
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University track and field teams will begin the 2012 season by hosting the Willamette Opener on Saturday, March 3 at the Charles Bowles Track. Competition is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. (PST).
In addition to the Bearcats, teams participating in the Willamette Opener will be Whitworth University, Western Oregon University, New Hope Christian College and the University of Oregon Running Club.
Willamette enters the season with two returning athletes who competed at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships last year.
Leo Castillo (Sr., Parkdale, OR/Hood River Valley HS) placed 15th in the NCAA in the men's 10,000-meter run. His qualifying time of 30:38.01 to get to the NCAA Championships placed him second on Willamette's Top 10 list in the 10,000.
Brandi Miller (Sr., Grants Pass, OR/North Valley HS) earned a berth at the NCAA Championships in the heptathlon. She placed 18th overall. During the season, she recorded a score of 4,406 points in the heptathlon to rank third on WU's all-time list.
In addition to competing at the national level, Castillo won the Northwest Conference title in the 5,000-meter run and the 10,000-meter run last spring. He was chosen Men's Track Athlete of the Meet.
Other top returning runners on the men's team who won NWC championships last season are Ben Donovan (Sr., Minneapolis, MN/South HS) and Paul Winger (Sr., Bonney Lake, WA/Bonney Lake HS).
Donovan won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NWC Meet. He won the race by 8.20 seconds with an NCAA provisional time of 9:22.17. He just missed being selected for the NCAA Championships.
Winger earned titles in the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash, as he repeated as the champion in both events. Overall, he has won three championships in the 400 and two in the 200.
Another senior, Neal Howard (Seattle, WA/Ballard HS) ranks eighth all-time at WU in the 100-meter dash at 10.96 seconds.
Joining Miller as top athletes on the Willamette women's team are Jaela Dinsmore (Sr., Hines, OR/Burns HS) and Katie Mariman (So., Sherwood, OR/Sherwood HS). Dinsmore is the defending NWC champion in the 400-meter dash. She won the 2011 title with a time of 57.50 seconds. Mariman took second place in the NWC in the pole vault. She narrowly missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
In addition, experienced distance runners Theresa Edwards (Jr., Lake Tapps, WA/Bonney Lake HS) and Kaitlin Greene (Sr., Pullman, WA/Pullman HS) each earned First Team All-NWC honors in cross country as well as All-West Region recognition this past fall. Both competed for the WU women's cross country team at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Edwards also participated at the NCAA Meet in 2010.
The Bearcats also feature a group of talented freshmen who will challenge throughout the season in a number of events.
Willamette Head Coach Matt McGuirk is in his ninth year leading the Bearcat track and field teams and is in his 13th year on the coaching staff. McGuirk has been named Northwest Conference Women's Track and Field Coach of the Year seven times. He has been selected as the NWC Men's Track and Field Coach of the Year four times.

8. Update on Injector for Radioactive Ion Species 2 (IRIS2)
(B. A. Tatum, spokesperson)
A remarkable amount of work has been completed on the IRIS2 Project since the last newsletter report in February 2007. The HVAC for the target room was installed in April and is designed to maintain the room at a temperature at 70° F and the relative humidity at 50%. Most of the long lead-time major technical equipment items have been fabricated, received, and installed including the high voltage platform structures, high voltage conduits, and injector beamline magnets.
National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC) delivered the injector beamline platform structure in late June and the instrumentation platform structure in late August. The injector beamline magnet system manufactured by Sigma Phi was subsequently received and installed on the beamline platform. This system consists of a 25 degree pre-separator magnet that diverts the beam from the existing low energy analysis beamline, and a first stage mass separator which is made up of two 60 degree sector magnets. Four high voltage conduits were successfully assembled, potted, and tested by the HRIBF staff. These conduits consist of an aluminum pipe surrounded by an 18.5" x 8.5" x 16" polyethylene extrusion. The gap between the pipe OD and the polyethylene ID was filled by an elaborate process of standing the conduits on end and pumping RTV through the gap from bottom to top. All of the conduits were tested to +/-200kV and installed in the 9.5' thick concrete shielding wall between the target and instrumentation rooms, surrounded and supported by polyethylene laminations. The instrumentation platform, including dual 50kW motor-generator sets, was successfully installed and tested. Re-installation of the HPTL instrument racks, cables, and utilities is underway. Fixed and movable localized shielding around the target ion source has been fabricated and installed as has the remote handling system crane extension. Design has been completed and fabrication is underway for the transport beamline spherical electrostatic deflectors.
Installation activities will continue to be the primary focus during the remainder of FY2008, but now that the major items are installed we are beginning to deal with a wide array of detailed and time consuming tasks that include alignment, beamline assembly, utilities installation, testing, and commissioning. Due to Federal budget constraints, the Project will receive only $1,400k rather than $1,835k in FY2008. This shortfall, combined with a $400k shortfall in FY2007 means that the project completion date will be moved from March 1, 2009 to approximately July 1, 2009. At this time, however, the IRIS2 Project is on schedule and on budget.

Shellabration on Sanibel – 75th Annual Shell Fair
Posted By Island Inn On October 27, 2011 @ 2:45 pm In Attractions,Island News,Shelling,The Gulf | No Comments
For anyone who has ever visited Sanibel Island before, you know that it is one of the best places in the world for shelling [1]. The Island Inn's location was specifically chosen on the bend of the south side of Sanibel Island, so when the currents washed up shells, they would be directed here. Still today, Island Inn's beach is one of the best locations on the islands to find tulips, olives, fragile paper fig shells and the rarest of them all, the brown speckled junonia.
Established in 1937, the Sanibel Shell Fair is the first one of its kind to take place in the United States. In fact, the very first Shell Fair was hosted at none other than the Island Inn – shell fanatics, visitors and locals alike gathered at the Inn to show off their shells over a 4 day period in March. Today, the annual Shell Fair is held at the Sanibel Community House to accommodate the larger crowds, and in February, "Shellabration" 2012 will commence. "Shellabration" is an island wide celebration honoring the 75th Anniversary of The Sanibel Shell Fair Show, which will run from February 26 to March 4th 2012.
The first event to kick of "Shellabration" will be the Opening Gala on February 26th at Traditions on the Beach [2], our well-loved restaurant located at right here at the Island Inn. Guests of the Inn as well as island visitors are welcome to purchase tickets to this historically grand event.
For more information on Shellabration or the Opening Gala at Traditions and the Island Inn, visit www.shellabration2012.com. [3] For more information on booking a room for this event, please contact the Island Inn directly at www.IslandInnSanibel.com [4]

Monday, January 14, 2013
I believe it was in September when I received the glossy card stock mailer from Charleston Stage. I scanned it quickly and then did an audible "Omg" Charleston Stage presents Christmas Story! I sat the card up by my computer and have watched the calendar days roll down since.
Ok, it's my birthday and what do I want to do? Yup, Christmas Story! Not that it took convincing Don who could play Ralphie and his father simultaneously without a script. I am going to have to watch him to keep him from blurting out the lines. We anticipate couch night with the classic movie every year, but the play will be a first. I'm here to tell you they have a lot to live up to here. We carry the Christmas Story pandemonium a bit further and have adopted the tradition of eating Chinese on Christmas day as well.
Julian Wiles, Cast and crew have surpassed my expectations of the this Christmas classic. in their very first presentation of Christmas Story and they knocked it out of the ball park. It may very well become another holiday tradition for my family. Becca Anderson as Ralphie's mother, Victor Clark as Ralphie's (old man) and Josh Harris as grown up Ralphie were phenomenal as were ALL of the actors from the Kid Stage Performance Troupe and Theatre Wings High School Apprentice Program. A special shout out to Joshua (Ralphie), Michael McCoy as (Flick) and Nikita Narodnitskiy as Scut Farkus. The stage sets were fantastic and magical, totally recreating the feel of several scenes in the original movie, if not better. I particularly liked the department store with Santa set.
There are only 4 more performances. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hurry and get tix! CharlestonStage.com.
I'll leave you with a few of my fave Christmas Story quotes;
Fudge! Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!
"It's a Major Award!" Mr. Parker reads a side of the box with the prize that he won .
Mr. Parker: Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Scut Farkus! What a rotten name! We were trapped. There he stood, between us and the alley. Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!

Car and Driver Celebrates 30 Years of 10 Bests
This year, 65 models were eligible. The 10 listed below are, according to Car and Driver, the 10 Best Cars for 2013.
2013 Audi A6/S6/A7/S7
It might look like four models are listed here, but under the skins they are the same. The A6 is a 4-door sedan, while the A7 is a 5-door hatchback. The S6 and S7 are performance-tuned variants of each. Of this quartet, Car and Driver said: "All hail the new autobahn--and interstate--kings."

2013 BMW 3 Series Sedan
The BMW 3 Series has made the Car and Driver 10 Best Cars list for 22 consecutive years. For 2013, only the 4-door sedan variant makes the cut. Car and Driver said: "Many would-be challengers have benchmarked this winning formula, and some even match or beat it in one way or another, but they all fall short of the gestalt."

2013 Ford Focus
In nominating the 2013 Ford Focus to its 10 Best Cars list, Car and Driver draws a clear distinction between cheapness and value, followed by comparisons of the Focus to a Mercedes, Porsche, and a Lotus. The publication does not focus solely on the performance-tuned ST model, including every version of Ford's small car on the list. In summary, Car and Driver said: "Long on value, short on fluff, this is America's supercompact."

2013 Ford Mustang GT/Boss 302
In explaining the specificity of its selection of Mustangs, Car and Driver wrote: "We're still warming to the 305-hp Mustang V-6 and the 662-hp Shelby GT500. In the end, it's the GT/Boss twofer that shines as the quintessential Motown emblems of power, performance, and practicality."

2013 Honda Accord
The Accord is no stranger to the Car and Driver 10 Best Cars list, having made the cut no fewer than 27 times. The redesigned version once again impressed the magazine's staff, which summed it up thusly: "You only think it's a driving appliance until you drive it. Then you understand."

2013 Honda Fit
The Honda Fit isn't the newest subcompact car on the market, but according to Car and Driver, it is one of the best. Here's why the publication thinks so: "There's more intelligence packed into the Fit than in many cars nearly twice its size."

2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata
For 8 years, since its last complete redesign for 2006, this 2-seat roadster has made the final cut for the 10 Best Cars list. Car and Driver explains: "What keeps the Miata triumphant is not raw performance but a balanced chassis that communicates every nuance to the driver through perfectly calibrated controls."

2013 Porsche Boxster
With this nomination, Porsche's 2-seat roadster makes the 10 Best Cars list for the 14th time since the model debuted in the mid-1990s. In doing so, Car and Driver says about the redesigned 2013 Boxster: "Driving it is a holistic sports-car experience."

2013 Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ
Technically, these are two separate models, but fans of the new rear-wheel-drive, 2+2 sports cars from Scion and Subaru know that, aside from minor cosmetic and packaging differences, the cars are essentially identical. Car and Driver said: "Entertainment, value, and execution of the intended purpose are the 10 Best commandments: this one (okay, two) nails 'em all."

2013 Volkswagen Golf/GTI
In leaving the Golf R out of this mix, Car and Driver calls it "an outlier." About the Golf and its performance-tuned GTI variant, which are entering their final year in current format, Car and Driver said: "The Golf upends the underachiever's excuse that you can't please all of the people all of?the time."

Latino DCPS Employees Fight Back
A group of Latino employees, terminated in August of 2010 by Chancellor Rhee as part of the broader dismissal of 266 teachers, have organized themselves to protest their termination on the grounds that it was done without proper assessment and that they were targeted as bi-lingual employees who were no longer needed in a system where the fastest growing segment are Hispanic children.
The termination occurred to approximately 35 'para-professionals' who worked primarily in clerical positions and with the head start program of the D.C. schools. In this group of dismissed individuals over 20% were bi-lingual Latino employees. Eight of them are now organizing to file a complaint with the EEOC and D.C.'s Office of Human Rights.
"I had 3 positive evaluations in my job and then, just before the dismissal, another very negative evaluation was made of my work. Shortly thereafter I was fired." claims Marta Bonilla, one of the affected employees. The group is planning a press conference once their claims are filed and have been working with the union to have their position vindicated and their positions returned to them. Many of these former employees continue unemployed and only one of them has been rehired in a position of fewer hours and lower salary.

- Unexpectedly fascinating article on the rise of "netbooks".
- Colby Cosh looks at the financial crisis and vents his anti-Baby Boomer scadenfreude. The problem I see here is that the Baby Boomers mostly have had it pretty nice; it's Gen-X and beyond who are gonna get the shaft. (HT: Arts & Letters Daily)
- Also from Arts & Letters Daily: Finding the lost city of the Amazon jungle. Especially interested in the theories (which I've encountered before) that much of what some people consider the "pristine", natural, untouched, unspoiled "rain forest" was actually heavily engineered by early human societies.
- Always-fascinating Whiskey on the failure of Joss Whedon's new TV show Dollhouse:
Clearly, Hollywood's attempt to "square the PC circle" with women kicking ass, and men angst-ridden and disagreeable, has passed. These shows found some success and advertiser dollars in the go-go status-obsessed 1990's, where the only problem was where to put all the money people were making, but far less in the recessionary and terrorist-threat (of the nuclear kind) decade of the 2000's, ten years later. Niche cultures just are not making money.
Being a fan of his earlier Firefly, I DVR'ed & have watched about 1.5-2 episodes of Dollhouse. Not impressed. And the premise is shockingly sick when you think about it. Joss Whedon's apparent fascination with a certain type of angular, boney, kicking, sexualized supergirl was an overlookable fetish when it was just one character in a strong ensemble. Having a whole show built around her is something else entirely. Not surprisingly, I never was into Buffy either, and indeed, I have always seen this type of character as essentially a "90s" phenomenon, without quite being able to articular why/how – as Whiskey does.
- Classical Values notes that Japanese scientists don't agree with the global warming "consensus". Never fear, I'm sure Global Warming believers will decide they "don't count" one way or another, though.
- Happens once in a blue moon – I agree with Matthew Yglesias, there would be justice in confiscating the wealth of AIG executives. The whole AIG phenomenon is infuriating if you even think about it only a little: they sold insurance they weren't good for, everyone on earth became their counterparty (thus inflating their own wealth because they could pretend/assume that their AIG trades were good), thus AIG became "too big to fail", justifying neverending infusions of taxpayer cash. A cynic looking at all this might have viewed AIG as an off-balance-sheet secret branch of the US Government with the mission to inflate a world financial bubble by essentially Ponzi methods. Well, it worked. And AIG's execs got rich along the way. But we don't let people get rich off Ponzi schemes. Not if we can help it.
- Bryan Caplan makes a pithy point about modern political-economic debate.

The recent films 28 Days Later, its sequel 28 Weeks Later, the "Firefly" film Serenity and I Am Legend with Will Smith all involve humans converted into frenzied murderous demons due to a man-made virus – usually a virus created with noble intentions. In Weeks and Legend, the hero(s) must give their lives to protect a "special" individual whose blood may hold the key to humanity's salvation; in Serenity the sacrifices are (less convincingly) necessary so that truth can out. In all cases not only are the demons trying to stop the heroes, but the heroes are up against the establishment as well. Similar setups can be found in many recent films, good and bad, from Children of Men to Ultraviolet.
Why does this theme of the demon virus and the special savior keep popping up, and what are all these movies really about?
Seems to me most of them are about the failure of 'liberalism' (in the American sense), i.e. the failure of social democracy – and also, more surprisingly, a longing for monarchy.
A certain stripe of horror/disaster/apocalyptic/exploitation film serves to play upon some widespread yet unstated fear, a fear that cannot or does not find its expression via "respectable" outlets. It's not politically correct to make a straightforward movie about the threat of commies, but who will object if you make Invasion of the Body Snatchers? '70s teen slasher films were about the dangers of casual sex and free love: teens have sex, then get killed. The subtext, which could not be stated in progressive company but could be woven into a cheesy movie, being that teens who have sex are sluts and deserve what they get.
What happens in a demon-virus movie? Who are the monsters? The monsters are other people. And not just some evil or colluding subset of other people, either: basically, it's all other people (except the protagonists). The message is pretty clear: people are monsters and will come after you and claw at you and not stop until they are dead. But, how did those people – regular, faceless people – all get to be monsters? Usually it's like this: the government is working on some project, something that they think will do a lot of good (say, cure cancer), and something goes horribly wrong.
The well-intentioned government program ends up going awry and turning people into monsters.
This sounds like every far-right caricature of their view of every liberal government project, does it not?
This is not to say that the people who write and make these films are actually far-righties who have such a view of liberal government programs. Probably, most of the people involved in making these films (as with all films) are well to the left of the political spectrum and probably would not even recognize this subtext of their films. (Some of them, e.g. Serenity director Joss Whedon, probably even think the critique they are levelling is pro-left and anti-right.) Nevertheless, these films appear designed to tap into that fear, the fear that liberal social projects will inevitably backfire and have disastrous unintended consequences.
This brings us to the Solution in all these films. The Solution is miraculously finding the Special Savior whose very existence will save humanity. Usually, there is something special about his/her blood ("immunity to the virus", for example). Once this is learned/exposited, the heroes spend the rest of the movie trying to keep the Special Savior alive, and may give up their lives in doing so. But it will be worth it, because the Special Savior – often, tellingly, his/her actual bloodline – is important.
This, of course, is a metaphor. The Special Savior is, essentially, royalty and must henceforth be treated as such. And why not? Since liberalism/socialism doesn't work, it's only natural to turn back to the most widespread pre-liberal system: monarchy. "Monarchy is what will save us", these films seem to say, and their third acts are mostly concerned with the of one thing: a celebration and glorification of self-sacrifice for the sake of the new royalty.
One may object that the savior storyline is more obviously and straightforwardly just a Christ/messiah parallel, and that is clearly true. But let's not forget what the messiah prophecy was about: it was about a special child who would be born, who would be a king to lead the Jews and save them. The fact that these movies make use of a messiah storyline buttresses my point that they are pro-monarchist, rather than refutes it. Particularly since it is the physical aspects of the messiah (the kid's blood in 28 Weeks Later, the woman's random ability to conceive in Children of Men, etc.) rather than any metaphysical claims to being born under a special sign or being the 'son of God'. The stories here are far more close parallels of the monarchist aspects of the messiah prophecy than they are of the religious/metaphysical ones.
The cynic in me would say that these stories have their most natural appeal for disillusioned liberals, liberals who have (deep down) lost faith in the potential of their 'progressive' projects for doing good. Stripped of this faith, all that is left is the naked desire to be celebrated as nobility. As saviors. If not because of the great social projects they produce (which they now realize are doomed), simply because of who they are. Their "blood", i.e. their intrinsic specialness.
Because just as the demon-virus storyline allows people to confront their fears of social projects gone wrong, the savior resolution allows them to indulge their fantasy of being saviors. Which is, after all, the central fantasy behind the appeal of 'liberalism', for so very many.

Over the last decade, a nonprofit teaching academy with strong political ties has launched an education revolution inside Chicago Public Schools, tearing down and rebuilding some of the city's worst-performing schools.
Now running 19 schools and locked in a public battle this month to add six more, the Academy for Urban School Leadership has become a force inside CPS, a virtually autonomous "district within the district" supported by millions in public and private funding.
The organization's pioneering work to "turn around" struggling schools by removing most of the teachers and administrators and replacing them with AUSL-trained staff, and installing a new culture of discipline and academic rigor, has won them praise from political heavyweights such as Mayor Rahm Emanuel and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
"Schools are in crisis right now. They're failing," said Donald Feinstein, AUSL's executive director. "And so the question is, how long would it take (for CPS) to redevelop an entire workforce when there may be a better way to go in with a dramatic intervention?"

CSN Bay Area Athletics insider Joe Stiglich joins Rick Tittle and John Dickinson
Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Right now stocks and -- baseball just English from CSN Bay Area nice enough to join us here in 95 point seven again yes that is your these flagship. If you followed Joseph and Joseph stick which on Twitter Joseph we appreciate your time as always has you dig on. The bill good I appreciate it Twitter plug too. No doubt about it we're looking at the jail last stand. You know the angels' roster is sexy the Rangers. They had Shin-Soo -- Prince Fielder but still we're sitting here looking at the days with some confidence tonight have you made your picks on who you think can win this division is here. Let's have a similar storyline for the past couple years you know it's amazing -- Back to back division champs and they're not by any means consensus is the favorite in his division if you. If you talk to people around game around the country any of these big names keep coming into the division you know this year Robinson -- and Seattle last year. Josh Hamilton tomorrow and -- And you know seemed like -- other -- always making more noise in the game even though we have to make a lot themselves -- I still put BA's as a proper go into the season just because I like their pitching depth compared. To the unit in the division that's both rotation and bullpen. Opened very -- we know but you know there's a lot of talk about the did not have a number one. Clear cut case that I think there's some truth to that. Well one through five I think they've got the best options as far as you know guys throw out there every single day. Edit anything in division and others a couple of people have better you know -- -- -- the top rotation but these other teams in the social circuit for the reported that guys so. Like pitching right now with the itself. -- some of the Roxy and ecologists digs and I got a little jealous we follow each other on Twitter we close enough that I -- -- the -- OPEC have so okay ice -- I was I was I was -- work on CS and Bay Area you know and the the -- claimed Joseph savory. Off of waivers this bullpen is to act is there a chance that he can crack the -- the roster. I think period interest in this time of year -- never knew I get thrown into the mix you know guys get. Comes from other teams that guy has some you know pretty good credential for tropic put. The Phillies picked up AJ Burnett the news spot in the -- rosters this guy gets put on waivers need pick them up so he left hander he's got a big league. A relief experience so you know I think he's that you figured again -- seven relievers are probably -- wanna have to lefties what do we know going to be do little. So we can be between slavery in another guy they got the top seeded Fernando -- They traded for him from Washington he -- with the nationals so. It may condemned those two guys that may -- even falling below the troops home grants on could be a long relief guys but I think to be deeper Europe ought. -- -- bought out of options right now also maybe he has. Little bit of an edge you know the if if these were trying to put -- miners. It got exposed in the waivers made news at first but it's been a little bit of competition that we think is going to be worked his spot available. There's a lot of vehicles those last couple spots. Pitchers and catchers out there and Arizona get ready for spring training or -- and a's baseball with Joseph state which from CSN Bay Area on Twitter at just a glitch. Let me ask you about how they use Sonny -- I remember when he first came out. They were really worried about any count pitch count almost coddling him least 44 years old is that's still a topic with the way they're gonna use sunny. You know it might be ended that's something that will be it will be different talking about no I think. Bob Melvin about come August September's letting -- be -- at -- count always a public with the young pitchers like that. You know I think it -- -- -- of course cropped up gradually get to it it's funny pitched well. And any doing well you know what it means -- and a final month you know that's really good. The does that mean he's thrown blood in his -- get a lot of -- you're really good job so we'll see how that comes -- but it could become an issue for them you know he's probably gonna. These -- in the big entire season in spite of the pro war means. -- that it hasn't anyone he's in his career so -- the past few years aides have had watched the innings limits on some of the guys. But in the past you know go back to when guys like Brett Anderson young and Trevor Cahill is when and and it recently worked contender like they're going to be this year probably so. Going to be little proper call legal fees that -- Hidden in and it and limit the -- might have for him a mile to give you know -- I'll start off here that are. Or back -- on meeting in September just simply be ready you'll policy that you may think that the they would -- the price try to watch any little in September. If it -- -- exhibition standings really could. For the hope that have been in ready for the play out the biggest -- the policy -- first so. Joseph if they had. Set down sunny last year I would have literally letter riot through the coliseum saw I'm hoping the day. Here dot com and I'm. I'm hoping they do not coddle him OK just Redick. -- I've been on on record of being terrified. Of this offense I love the -- and I love the starting rotation that's never been Maher worried the offense is always my worry and Josh -- Islamic and had they avoided arbitration. With with Redick for a two point seven million dollar contract for this season it -- if you had to guess from what you've been -- in -- -- in the spring and it was a real early but do you think he's going to be a lot closer to his two year or two years ago form or last year's form. You'll have to we have to go -- right now it is -- health and how we feel attitude -- it -- but because he's feeling good physically. He seemed like he's pretty companies got the right attitude right now so very early to tell right now we're talking and no relief and so I don't even know who know it during exhibition games I think it's going to be. The first month or two into the season first -- the if you can be more of the 2013 -- from 2012 Redick obviously need need. See more that she doesn't already know I think we've we've talked about before expected to be at 32 homer guy again. Like like he was in 2012 I don't know if he's if he's. Cut out the -- and -- year after year. At the you don't need for what they needed like 20/20 five homer guy who's gonna get around to sixty. You know drive an 8085 runs in India that gold glove defender right field if you have that guy whose pride in its sixth or seventh lineup. That's pretty good you can pretty contributions from somebody. -- or devils lineup but. You know bottom -- -- get healthy right now that's all we have to go on right now also. I think Josh thinks he can have better seat and discuss you'll be able terminals inside fastball better thinks because wrist feels better but we'll see once April it will be eligibility and and it hit the -- two years ago or last year. He's just one of those guys fans want to love they wanna see him perform hopefully. A comeback season for Redick let me ask you about the new clothes -- Jim Johnson -- Nobel for. Leaving it might have been a big deal but it seems like everybody is in love with this acquisition look at -- Jim Johnson like they won't miss a beat. From the closer position what was your take on Belfour is exit Johnson's arrival. Why would support the -- go because I talked to grant the night they were eliminated by Detroit last year grant was or the use credit or seeing his goodbyes to Oakland and it was kind of like I've enjoyed my time here that you -- great. A great opportunity close. I'll probably headed Oprah can adjust to what he was saying it would I think grant was ready to leave Oakland and look to cash in on the bigger payday as much as -- Republican. You know to replace the media as a two way street that just seem to be understanding he wasn't going to be back. Based on the money -- the -- figured. You might end up being so they went on the -- for Jim Johnson. I mean I think it's a pretty good replacement given they had. Belt or leave some pretty big shoes to fill Johnson you know we know about -- one -- last couple years he also led the majors in blown saves last year that little bit of the concern. But it yet underplay this guy's got a proven track record. The one thing it's gonna be different it is not a big strikeout guy you know he comes and if you put two runners debate that he needs to strike out he's usually not that pitchers is going to be you'll get. Who's going to be over the a lot of bet his sinker ball or he need to get a lot of ground balls if he's going to be a lot of grumbles that means. The defense is gonna turn those grappled with a potential double play and so he's gonna need some help behind them you know other close six succeeded -- that style. But just going to be you can get it done it differently he's not get a lot of strikeouts. He's not going to be worth as much -- does -- And nobody does not honestly don't know anybody swear that much is he pro -- -- opportunities. Though probably not much intensity. But there's logical way to get done in ninth inning that -- -- -- different in the different kind of show in the ninth inning and but you know literal Soledad passel the you to go. It is different no profanity now much intensity and out of strikeouts but still. Looks good on a promise that -- -- between called bitten him Belfour. -- -- statements covering a's baseball for CSN Bay Area on Twitter at Joseph stiglitz sticks we appreciate your time thank you took my -- -- The zags appreciated digs there really does to you nick has good stuff thanks Joseph.

I am a fast eater and I have come to understand from reading information that this can lead to weigh gain. I am trying my best to slow down and maybe even enjoy and truly taste the food I am eating.
Not only are tangerines absolutely delicious, but they take forever to eat, which forces you to slow down!
When the wind is against me, I take that as Mother Nature's sign to slow down a little and enjoy my run.
Slow down - eat slower. It takes your brain time to catch up with what you're eating. Put down your fork or spoon in between every single bite - you'll be amazed at how slowing down and taking time to enjoy/savor your food helps!4


text: Although helping institutions with financial aid strategies may be why we are most often hired, we typically find that an institution's enrollment success is seldom just about financial aid - making the case for value, building relationships, and providing excellent service are also key in meeting enrollment goals. The best aid strategy will not be effective in growing enrollments, for example, if there is not sufficient demand to generate a critical number of admitted students. In addition, at some institutions, admitted students are simply not very sensitive to increases in grants. In this case increasing grants would likely result in minimal enrollment growth and come at the expense of net tuition revenue. Even if students are responsive to increases in aid, if they feel like "just a number," encounter cumbersome processes, or find it difficult to get answers to their questions, yield will suffer. While the aid package is an important piece in most families' enrollment decisions, it is certainly not the only factor. Here are some other factors to consider.

Read Poems by
Russell Sivey
From the deep depths of bleak and somber dreams
Those with grey roses living within them
There's painful feelings made inside, it seems
The colors of the sky and the large farm
Beautiful the dream is all but the rose
They seem to be crying, having no charm
Here deep inside the dream the heart arose
Coming to rescue the broken rose bush
Like giving lifesaving drink from a hose
Now all roses turn colors are then lush
Perfect dream fantasies give a sure rush

Guess when our baby will arrive and win prize
Posted: April 02, 2012|
A PAIR of prospective parents are encouraging people to make a prediction on the arrival of their first baby in support of their favourite charity.
Susie and Mark Bowers' baby is due to arrive tomorrow but to take their minds off the wait the couple decided to set up a sweepstake in support of Bristol charity For-Ethiopia.
The Horfield couple are giving people the chance to win tickets to gigs for several popular bands through the sweepstake, which has already raised more than £1,000 towards building a well in Africa.
Mr Bowers, 32, has been getting gradually more involved with the charity that helps with projects to support health, water and sanitation and education in Ethiopia.
And as he works for a music promotions company he managed to get hold of tickets for either Coldplay, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Wretch 32 and Keane to give away as prize for the person who manages to pick the date and time closest to the arrival of their first child.
Mrs Bowers, 29, a writer, said: "I just wanted to support the charity.
"We have got a lot of friends running the Bristol 10k this year but they looked at me with my bump and said 'you're not going to be able to do that', quite happily for me as I'm not really a runner.
"I started thinking of ways to fundraise when it occurred to me that I'm going to go through labour, and that's pretty extreme in itself and powerful and I thought it could be an even better way of making an impact outside of us as a family.
"We are really excited about having our first baby and because it is going to be completely life-changing we thought it would be a great way of changing other people's lives."
The winner of the sweepstake can of choose their preferred gig.
Mr Bowers said: "The idea seems to have really captured people's imagination – especially as only five per cent of women give birth on their estimated due date, so it literally is anyone's guess."
To take part in the sweepstake visit www.virginmoneygiving.com/team/ buildawell to make a donation to For-Ethiopia and leave a prediction of the time and date the Bowers' baby will arrive along with an email address for the couple to contact the successful bidders.

ShelterBox meets with Jordanian Red Crescent
At the request of the Jordanian Red Crescent Society a two-man British team from ShelterBox has been in Jordan discussing the potential of a refugee influx. The team is now en route back to the UK.
A spokesperson for ShelterBox said, "As always, if a need for emergency shelter arises, then ShelterBox stands ready to respond."
Disaster preparedness boosts ShelterBox's capacity to respond more efficiently and quickly to disasters around the world. Forming global partnerships is key.

I remember
I never liked the World Trade Center towers. They were built while I was growing up outside New York City. They were out of scale with the rest of the Manhattan skyline, dwarfing the skyline of my childhood where the Empire State building reigned.
But these last ten years, all I can see when I look at that skyline is the spot where they stood. And I wish so very much that they and all those who perished that day were still standing.

I've been watching and remembering all morning. Skipped church to watch the memorial. I feel sick to my stomach and wonder if reliving it all over again was such a good idea.ReplyDelete
I've never liked the buildings either, esp. when I had to go to the top with my sister in 1985. Like you, I hate heights. And seeing the towers in the old movies always brings back the tragedy as tho it were yesterday, all the death, destruction and pain, everything is awful.ReplyDelete

On this general topic, one might also want to consider the experiences described at:
Basically: Adding some money to the equation can reduce progress, instead of increase it, because everyone is reluctant to share whatever they are learning.
Note that I am quite willing to contribute if it will help the progress of work that a developer is already busy doing. But that is not the same thing as putting up a "bounty", and then implying that everyone is supposed to go scrambling after that money.

Data Quality Business Case
I work in a large organization, and during one of the discussions, the CIO stated that we have an excellent level of data quality. This is because in last five years we had very few cases of customer complaints wrong billing statements to our customers. I
Typically large organizations have fairly decent level of transaction processing data, which is linked to the customer and financial transaction level. However the moment we go beyond it, data quality issues start cropping-up. Whether it's the customer data (like age, marital status.), reconciliation between the business transaction and the financial transaction, past due collections data, GL data etc. All the large companies have departments like reconciliations to handle these kinds of issues.

I have been using VS2008 Pro for several years now. Today I installed VS2012 Express [for Web] on my computer. I would like to be able to do 3 things with my Telerik subscription:
#1 & #2 are absolute requirements. #3 is optional
Further to #1, I right-clicked in the Toolbox area of the VS2012 IDE and chose "Choose Items". On the ".NET Framework Components" tab of the dialog box I chose Browse. I navigated here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2012\Bin45
Three files appeared:
I tried clicking on the first two. It said "Loading the selected file(s)" Then later, when I pressed OK this message appeared: "The following controls were successfully added to the toolbox but are not enabled in the active designer:" After that, no Telerik tools appeared in the Toolbox.
While I had hoped I could save the cost of buying VS2012 Professional, this is not a very good start. Time is Money.
I would like a definitive answer from Telerik Support to my 3 questions above. Can I do all of that with the Express version of VS2012: Yes or No?
Posted 27 Dec 2012
Link to this post
Hi Robert,
I will go straight to your bullets:
#1 - I just tried doing the same and managed to do so successfully. Here's what I did:
1. Created a new web app targeting .NET 4.5
2. Opened the default page in design mode
3. Opened the toolbox, clicked "Choose Items...", browsed to the Bin45 folder (the version of our controls should match the version of our projects - .NET 4.0 - bin40, .NET 4.5 - bin45) and selected Telerik.Web.UI.dll (that is the only assembly actually containing controls)
After that, both the toolbox and design surface worked perfectly. I was able to drag controls onto the design surface, tweak them through the smart-tags and they ran perfectly at run-time.
#2 - As you might imagine, our controls have no dependency on Visual Studio, so there is no reason for them to require a particular version of Visual Studio. Loading your project in VS 2012 should work (if it is a simple web app - database, architecture and various other project types are not supported), but will upgrade it in the process and make it useable only through VS 2012.
#3 - You will not be able to use JustCode in VS Express, as it supports very limited third party extensibility.
Let me know if that helps.
All the best,
the Telerik team
Thank you for this. I just followed your instructions precisely and it now works as you've said.
Unrelated to anything to do with Telerik, I'm now experiencing major incompatibilities related to upgrading VS2008 Crystal Reports report templates to VS2012. Hundreds of hours were invested to create these templates so they're an absolute requirement. I'm now weighing my options but may be restricted to upgrading only to VS2010 until the owner of of Crystal Reports gets their act together. Ughhh!
As for all of you at Telerik, THANK YOU!!!

you have a pre NSMB chip. The updated chips have a yellow sticker, I have a pre NSMB chip and mine does the exact same thing you are describing.
You mean the sticker on the back of the chip? Mine is white. And yes i have a unmodified iso. I also have a modified one but when i insert this i get the disc read error. But what i dont understand is that the posts i saw about the nsmb and drivekey is that they get a disc read error. Why dont i get the disc read error but my wii just restarts? Is it defferent in every Wii or what? Or i didnt get the unmodified iso? But if i have a modified one than it shouldnt even be updating am i right? Because it updated my Wii to 4.1E.
thnx for the reply
you have a pre NSMB chip. The updated chips have a yellow sticker, I have a pre NSMB chip and mine does the exact same thing you are describing.
thnx for the reply.
I received it this week so i am going to give them a call. Maybe they can switch it for me.
Or maybe just buy a new one.
the problem for me seems to be finding an un-modified NTSC ISO of the game for download. I have the newest drivekey and a wasabi V2 with the latest firmware and neither console will play any version of the game i've downloaded. I think im almost ready to go out and buy the game.
Just a question to anyone having Drivekey. I bought it last week and until now I cannot get NSMB running in any way. I wonder if my Drivekey is the latest version or the older one that have not the NSMB patch.
Entering in config (Eject 3 times on the CD loading) i read this:
Software version: 1.0
FPGA version: 2.0
Are these the latest value?
Thanks to anyone for the help.

Student families may be subsidized or non-subsidized. To be eligible for subsidized childcare, you must be a student at SSU (regularly matriculated) and be income eligible. In addition, children of students referred because the child is at risk of abuse or neglect can be eligible for subsidized childhood. Student families who are not eligible for subsidized care pay reduced student fees.
Subsidized Family Fees
Subsidized fees will be determined in accordance with the criteria and sliding fee scale established by the California State Department of Education each year. Subsidized fees are determined at enrollment and re-certification. They are based on family size and income. Parents must verify monthly income during the intake appointment, prior to the beginning the semester. Each subsidized family must be re-certified annually or within thirty days after family size, income or student status changes. It is the parent's responsibility to notify the Children's School office of any such changes within 10 days. Failure to notify our office of any relevant changes may be grounds for termination from the program.
Non-subsidized Student Family Fees
Rosebuds (ages 1-2):
1/2 day: $30.75
3/4 day: $42.50
Full day: $54.25
Dandelions (ages 2-3):
1/2 day: $27.75
3/4 day: $35.25
Full day: $42.75
Poppies (ages 3-5):
1/2 day: $23.75
3/4 day: $28.75
Full day: $35.25
Scheduled hours will be determined at the beginning of each semester based on the parent's schedule of classes and study time needs or work schedule. If a child is scheduled for a full day and is picked up early, the charge will still be for the full day. Hours can be reduced or increased with approval from the Assistant Director. A discount of 15% for student families and 10% for staff and faculty families is applied for the first child when siblings are enrolled.
(There is an annual $50.00 registration fee for non-subsidized families.)
Non-subsidized Faculty/Staff Familiy Fees
Rosebuds (ages 1-2):
1/2 day: $40.25
3/4 day: $53.25
Full day: $71.00
Dandelions (ages 2-3):
1/2 day: $33.25
3/4 day: $45.25
Full day: $59.25
Poppies (ages 3-5):
1/2 day: $30.75
3/4 day: $36.25
Full day: $43.25
Campus community parents pay the full fee and may enroll according to their needs. Exceptions are made at the discretion of the Director, who reserves the right to determine that the services provided are appropriate for each child.
Parents must pay the monthly/weekly-contracted fee regardless of absence. Fee changes occur only when approved schedule status changes.
(There is an annual $50.00 registration fee for non-subsidized families.)

Data Changes Everything: Delivering on the Promise of Learning Analytics in Higher Education
Jul 25, 2012
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Good overview article about the arrival of learning analytics, concluding with a section on "what we know" about analytics, including:
- Analytics are here today, and they are here to stay - Analytics are already being used in a variety of ways in the higher education enterprise.
- Common data definitions will be required if we intend to compare "apples to apples" in assessing points of student loss and momentum.
- There's no such thing as "sort of" transparent. Once one can see the results of the analyses being run against any number of institutional data sources, including student achievement data, it will be increasingly difficult to ignore what the numbers are saying.
I will mention in passing that people should stop with the Moneyball comparisons. What happened in baseball was a focus in attention away from power hitting and toward getting on base, rather than a suddent discovery of data and statistics.Total: 199

Responding to more than two years of lobbying by immigrants' advocates, the Democratic majority in the New York State Assembly threw its support on Wednesday behind a comprehensive bill that would make state financial aid available to illegal immigrants at colleges and universities.
The bill would open up several state tuition-assistance programs to illegal immigrants and create a private scholarship fund to help pay for their higher education.
Elements of the legislation had been proposed in piecemeal in past legislative sessions but had not become law. As a result, immigrants' advocates stepped up their campaign for a more comprehensive and streamlined strategy, centered on a single measure with several provisions.
The Democrats introduced the bill as the immigration debate shifts to the top of the national agenda.

Do you love collecting old Avon bottles? The great thing about Avon bottles is how popular they are to collect. They are highly sought after by many people who want to buy them to add to a personal collection or to resell at a later time. There is no shortage of sellers, either. Especially on eBay. The luckiest finds are bottles that still have the original fragrance inside and the box it came in. Why Avon? Almost everyone has tried some type of Avon perfume or cologne. Some of the bottle shapes that Avon made back in the 1970's were really neat. Too bad we couldn't see them being discontinued back then and stockpiled a few.
Old Avon Bottles Bring Back Good Memories Of The Past
Do you recall an Avon product or fragrance that you wish you could have again? I remember my first perfume from Avon was a pretty, solid Honeysuckle perfume stick that rolled up like a lipstick, This was 1972 and I was 12 years old. That honeysuckle fragrance was amazing. It was also the perfect portable fragrance to take to school. After that, I never saw it again. Some women remember the milk glass poodle that came filled with Cotillion cologne. That was discontinued in 1973.
Vintage Avon Perfumes Make A Great Collection
The older Avon cologne bottles make pretty collection displays for any dresser top or counter. They were artistic and whimsical. One cologne came in a decanter that resembled a southern belle; complete with old-fashioned dress and hat, The old cologne bottles for men were also whimsical. They came shaped like alarm clocks, cigar pipes, cars, trucks and even fire engines. You just don't see that kind of sculpture in fragrance bottles anymore.When was the last time you saw cologne in a turtle-shaped decanter?
Some Old Bottles Of Avon Cologne Are Really Mini-Sculptures
Old Avon perfume bottles are coveted for many reasons by collectors. One of the reasons is the appreciation of the artistic value of the bottle shapes and themes, Some people want them because they reflect a piece of history showing what the popular perfumes were at that time. I think people want old Avon bottles for the sheer number that were produced and discontinued over the span of Avon history, The bottles tell a story about Avon, the company brand,
Where I Find Old, Vintage And Discontinued Avon Perfume Bottles
I am a mini-collector of old, discontinued Avon perfumes and bottles. Right now I have 2 full bottles of Foxfire perfume still in the boxes that were discontinued in the 1980's. I have a small bottle of Mink and Pearls perfume that has been discontinued for years. I have 2 bottles of the recently discontinued Flower by Cynthia Rowley. I also have the Avon milk glass poodle still full of Cotillion from 1973. It still smells wonderful, believe it or not. I have testers of Perle Noire and Casbah that are very old. All of them were found at either yard sales or thrift stores near me. You can see my Cotillion poodle photo on this article; Vintage Perfume Bottles.
Although my childhood Honeysuckle stick from Avon isn't a bottle, I do often wonder if any of them survived over the years, I imagine the fragrance has long since dried up as we are talking about 40 years ago.. That's the thing with vintage perfumes and bottles; they stay in our memories making us want to find them again..

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new, government-funded cellphone app will help the blind and those with visual impairments count their cash.
Those with Android devices can scan a bill with their phone's camera and the app will read the bill's denomination aloud.
The Education Department and the U.S. Treasury teamed up to launch the free app. U.S. Treasurer Rosie Rios says the "IDEAL Currency Identifier" is intended to give the blind more independence.
There's already a similar free app called EyeNote for Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says that app has been downloaded more than 8,000 times since its launch last year.

Up Helly Aa Shields
A picture collection of Jarl's Squads' Shields from the current Up Helly Aa festivals around Shetland.
Bressay Up Helly Aa
Some shields are on display at the Bressay Primary School and the Galley Shed. All shield photos by Kozetland1.
Cullivoe Up Helly Aa
Jarl's Squad Shields from 1981 onwards are on display in the Cullivoe Public Hall. Photos by Kozetland1.
Delting Up Helly Aa
Some shields are in the Lunnasting Primary School, Olnafirth Primary School, Mossbank Primary School & Brae High School, although the majority are on display at the Delting Galley Shed. Photos by Kozetland1.
Lerwick Up Helly Aa
The Bells Brae collection of Jarl's Squad Shields.
These are on display in the Lerwick Galley Shed during the summer months as part of the Up Helly Aa Summer Exhibition. They remain in the shed through the autumn and winter, before returning to Bells Brae Primary School in time for Up Helly Aa. The collection was first assembled by Thomas Moncrieff in 1964-1965 for the opening of Bells Brae Hall. In subsequent years it became an established procedure for the current Jarl's squad to make an extra shield, which is presented during their visitation to the school. Missing earlier shields were obtained to fill out the collection, as well as the construction of three replicas (1928, 1934 and 1935). It should be noted that the three replicas, although constructed in collaboration with original squad members, are not entirely accurate, as can now be seen from old photos. The 1949 shield, although original, appears to have been inaccurately repainted. Some shields are also on display at the Clickimin Leisure Centre, Islesburgh Community Centre and Sound Primary School.
Lerwick Junior Up Helly Aa
From its establishment in 1956 through to 1965 the shields carried by the Junior Jarl's Squad were, like their suits, re-used senior Jarl's Squad suits from previous festivals. From 1965, when organiser Thomas Moncrieff was senior Jarl, the junior Jarl's Squad used the same shield design each year, namely the 1965 senior Jarl's squad design. This continued until 1979. Examples of the squad shields are on display at the Sound and Bell's Brae Primary Schools in Lerwick. All shield photos by Kozetland1.
Nesting and Girlsta Up Helly Aa
Jarl Squad shields are on display in the South Nesting Public Hall and the North Nesting Public Hall. Shield photos by Kozetland1.
