A primary objective of the Federal Government's 2012-2013 Economic Action Plan is ensuring that employers first look to the domestic labour force prior to seeking Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) to fill temporary labour shortages. The TFW program features a LMO-exempt component, which allows the granting of work permits without the labour market test.
One such LMO-exempt category is Intra-Company Transferees (ICTs). The Government has developed a series of set categories of ICTs which allow international companies to enhance competitiveness in overseas markets. One of the categories that has been set is "Specialized Knowledge ICTs".
On June 9, 2014, the Government of Canada released expanded guidelines, effective immediately, for assessing work permit applications under the ICT Specialized Knowledge category. The assessment criteria has been modified to include a more exacting definition of "specialized knowledge". There are also new mandatory wage requirements for some ICTs (excluding those entering Canada pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement or any future or current Free Trade Agreements).
To qualify under the Specialized Knowledge category, a worker must possess "knowledge at an advanced level of expertise" as well as "proprietary knowledge of the company's product, service, research, equipment, techniques or management". The onus is on the applicant to show, on a balance of probabilities, "a high degree of both proprietary knowledge and advanced expertise." The applicant may satisfy this requirement through the use of documentary evidence, which may include, but is not limited to: a resume, reference letters, letter of support from the company, job descriptions that outline the level of training acquired, years of experience in the field, degrees or certifications obtained in the field, list of publications and awards (if applicable), and a detailed description of the work to be done in Canada.
Proprietary knowledge is defined as company-specific expertise related to a company's product or services. In order for an applicant to demonstrate an advanced level of proprietary knowledge, they must be able to prove one or both of the following:
Proprietary knowledge alone is not sufficient. The applicant must also demonstrate an advanced level of expertise. This requires specialized knowledge gained through significant and recent experience with the organization and used by the individual to contribute significantly to the employer's productivity.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada ("CIC") defines specialized knowledge to be knowledge that is both unique and uncommon. Therefore, by definition, it may only be held by a small percentage of employees in a given firm. It is crucial for specialized knowledge workers to therefore demonstrate that they are "key personnel" within the firm, not merely highly skilled workers.
Should it be determined that the worker possesses the high standard of specialized knowledge that is uncommon in a particular industry, as described above, the salary or wage paid to said worker should be consistent with such a specialist. Usually, a specialized worker would receive an above average salary. As such, a wage floor set at prevailing wage levels will be used to establish a baseline for the assessment of the application. It is important to note that non-cash per diems (such as hotels or transportations that are paid for by the employer) are not included in the calculation of the overall salary or wage. Only monetary compensation paid directly to the employee are included.
An employer that is considering applying for an employee under the Specialized Knowledge category should ensure that the applicant can qualify under the new assessment criteria. For more details regarding these guidelines, and clarification with regards to the requirements, the CIC Operational Bulletin can be found here (or contact us).

Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.
Elizabeth Daly
Assistant General Counsel
Sanmina-SCI has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world. Our customers expect that we will provide them with the highest quality and most sophisticated services in the marketplace. We have that same expectation for the lawyers with whom we do business. With operations in 17 countries, we need to be certain that we have a team of lawyers working together to address our employment law needs worldwide. The ELA has delivered exactly what it promised-- seamless and consistent high quality services delivered in each locale around the globe. It has quickly become a key asset for our human resources department.
We own, manage, and franchise hotels throughout the U.S. and in more than 90 countries. With more than 145,000 employees worldwide, ensuring that we comply with the complex web of local labor and employment laws in every one of these jurisdictions is a daunting task. The Employment Law Alliance has served as an important resource for us and we have benefited greatly from its expertise and long reach. When a legal dispute or issue has arisen in some far-flung place, Employment Law Alliance lawyers have always provided responsive, practical, and cost-effective assistance.
Wilmington Trust has used the ELA to locate firms in California, Washington State, Georgia, and Europe. Our experience with the ELA lawyers with whom we have worked has always been one of complete satisfaction and prompt, practical advice.

College has been full of surprises for Thomas Flores. He didn't expect to fall in love with the theoretical aspects of physics, or to enjoy learning about psychology, or to find a job making videos for offices on campus. He didn't even expect to come to Lehigh.
When Flores started his college search, he focused on technical schools because he has enjoyed science since he grew up watching Dexter's Laboratory. But a friend of his attends Lehigh and Flores was intrigued by the university.
"Lehigh was actually a last-minute addition to my college search," Flores explains. "After visiting, everything seemed to click. The academics are superb, the student life is fun and the campus is incredible. I knew Lehigh was the right school for me."
Today, Flores is happy he chose a university with three undergraduate colleges and more than 90 majors. He came to Lehigh to study physics, but he also likes the opportunity he has to take classes in other disciplines. In fact, his favorite class so far has been "The Psychology of Stereotyping and Prejudice."
"Coming from a multicultural background and living in New York City," Flores says, "I've been exposed to stereotyping and I wanted to learn the psychology behind it. That class made me realize so many different things about where I'm from and the way people act. It opened up my eyes to psychology as a field and convinced me to add the psychology minor."
Outside of class, Flores is busy filming and editing videos for Lehigh's International Multimedia Resource Center. He started making skateboarding videos with his friends in sixth grade and he's glad to have found a job that lets him do what he loves.
"I was always interested in art, and video is a way that I can express myself," says Flores. "Some people might say that art and physics aren't similar, but they're actually almost the same. In order to be a really successful scientist, you need to have a creative spark and be able to visualize principles that are very abstract."
Flores suggests that other students follow his lead and keep an open mind about trying new things.
"College has a way of surprising you by making you realize you have an interest in things you otherwise wouldn't have noticed," he says. "I have made this my mantra, and by following it, I'm extremely happy with my college experience so far."
What's your favorite place on the South Side? I love Tulum for burritos, and the new skate park.
Where's your favorite place to study on campus?
Where is your favorite place to eat on campus? Subversions, in the Ulrich Center.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 may have received glowing reviews from gaming journalists, it's smaller Vita-exclusive brother however Black Ops Declassified has taken a beating
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified has launched to scathing reviews from game journalists with many criticising the short development cycle after it was claimed the game was developed in around 5-8 months.
The game has been designed as an accompaniment to the highly-praised Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 which has been released for Xbox 360 and PS3.
First up to hit Declassified was GiantBomb who gave the game 1 out of 5 stars describing it as "'too small to be entertaining' whilst claiming the AI to be 'embarrassing'. One of the recurring issue reviewers had with the game was the quality of the game engine saying, "The game is plagued with a handful of technical issues".
Gameinformer's Dan Ryckert was much more brutal with his attack on the Vita title saying, "Imagine the mediocre Vita title Unit 13, then subtract most of the missions, throw in some broken geometry, and make the enemy A.I. literally suicidal." Black Ops Declassified also features multiplayer but unfortunately Ryckert was equally as scathing about that saying, "On launch day, I was rarely able to connect to a match. When I actually got into one, it was filled with enough glitches to make it unplayable."
Pocket Gamer goes as far as to suggest it thinks Declassified was simply Activision fulfilling a promise to Sony that they would make a Vita game saying, "Call of Duty: Black Ops - Declassified is a cynical, half-baked, tired little mess of a game, and Activision knows it. We didn't get a review copy of the game in before launch, or even on launch day. We had to go out and buy our own copy - such is the entertainment giant's faith in it."
This comes at a time when Sony has revealed that the PlayStation Vita has been having average sales and was no doubt hoping that titles such as Black Ops Declassified would boost the appeal of the games console over Christmas.

Heather Bateman
After my time with you last night I
never want to
forget that moment, I hope you
will never
forget me
Everything I ever wanted last
night happened
Someone caring about me, you
took me out on a date and did not
care when we left each others side
I just hope that you are not just
another one of those guys who
acts all sweet
on that one night then call it off
because you got what you wanted
Now I hope you miss me as much
as I miss you

It has often been said that laws are like sausages — it's best not to see them being made.
We don't think this sentiment is true. Certainly, the idea of living in blissful ignorance may comfort some people who would rather not know what goes into the decisions made by their elected leaders. We want to believe, however, these folks represent only a small segment of our society.
Most Americans care about how their laws are made, and they want to know of all the ingredients used in the process. An informed public is a demanding one. By that, we mean engaged citizens have certain expectations of their government. They expect their government to be open. They expect their government to be honest. And they expect their government to fulfil its responsibilities to the people.
We demand these things of all levels of government — local, state and federal. If you live in Washington County, you have good reason to be disappointed with your government. The recent dustup over a new county budget is a good example of what happens when citizens don't pay attention to what's going on with their government.
That's why we think meetings of the Washington County Commission should be televised on cable. Johnson City Commission meetings have been televised on its government access channel for years and have provided city taxpayers with a great insight into what goes on in their government. County taxpayers should have the same opportunity to watch the sausage being made.

Sawatdee! Toyota Vitz all the way from Thailand
Hello from the other side of the world
For those that dont know. I've taken a leap of absents from Cali to Thailand for some personal reason. Though while here, I thought I'd try to dig deep to find the import culture that has grown so much is Thailand.
I've been in Bangkok for the first couple nights. Resting, recovering from JetLag and to see family. Today my Dad & I head back to our home towards the west of Thailand (Chanthaburi). About an hour into the drive outside of Bangkok. I see this BRIGHT Yellowish/Green Toyota Yaris… oopps sorry.. not in america anymore. I saw this Toyota "Vitz" haha. It quickly grabbed my attention and asked my Dad if we could turn around so i can grab a couple photos.
We head back a mile back to find this Vitz I quickly caught a Glimps of. We finally find it and pull over. It ends up it was parked in a aftermarket Rim/Time shop. Even WAY more cooler! We got out of the car and I introduced myself in English and my Dad translating in thai. My dad explained to him what company im with and how id like a couple shots of his car for our site.
He was more that willing and was very excited. So him and his family welcomed us into his shop very happily. His name is "S" and he owns this wheel/rims/accessories company along with his Father, Monther & His Family. I wish my mom and dad sold wheels with me haha.. This Toyota Vitz is also his personal car and company show car. Man was this thing awesome! When he pulled the car out for me, he popped his air ride up with the quickness! drove it out into the open and slammed it hard! This Vitz is way too gangster…
Turbo, Custom Air Ride, Fully Custom Exterior/Interior & Im sure many other mods I may have missed. I dont have specs untill we email each other but I'll keep you guys updated.Him and his family didnt mind us there or how long we took. They were in the process of closing while I was doing the shoot. So I did get a full photoshoot out of our stop :]
Keep in mind they were closing and they didnt expect this random America wanting to take pictures of his car so excuse the car if its a bit dirty 😛 After the photoshoot. We exchanged information and we'll be meeting in the near future to set up a car meet with his team & his friends just for me! Awesome and I cant wait. This trip is going to be very exciting. I hope to show you guy more about Thai car culture during my stay. I have another 3 months here so we'll get some good content for you guys
Enjoy! Mod list will be up as soon as we reach each other.
Nice selection of wheels
You can see the Highway his building is located

I remember a time many years ago where, as a new Christian, I would commit a sin and then I would lose it. That is, after I did something which troubled my soul and in which caused the inner parts of me to hurt with shame and regret, I would lie on my bed, close my eyes, and beg God to forgive me. That was my mantra. "God I'm so sorry, please forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Wash away my sins and please forgive me." It offered a sort of relief, whereby before I asked God to forgive me I would feel horrible. After I said those words I felt forgiven- as if in that moment they lifted off of me and they were separated as far as the East is from the West. The penance was in the asking and receiving. Forgiveness was actively happening to me every time I asked for it, and there was no shortage of asking.
Nowadays though, that does not happen. I never ask God to forgive me. I am still grieved by the things I do and my conscience still pricks me. The Holy Ghost still convicts me and brings about that visceral prompting which makes me turn to Christ for comfort and solace. But not for forgiveness.
Because I have already been forgiven, and asking God to forgive me over and over again is a theological trainwreck. When Jesus died on the cross in that great exchange, he took my sins and I took on his righteousness. Through repentance and faith all my sins, past present and future, were never again to be held against the me. I don't believe that the death of Christ on a cross "potentially" took away my sins, or made it possible for them to be taken away, but that they were actually taken away. In that moment I was forgiven of everything I had done and will do in this lifetime. Every wicked thought and evil deed was no more. Its all done, buried in the blood.
If that is the case, then why would I cry and plead for God to do something that he has already done? As a believer, when I ask God to forgive me, he won't do it then and there. It's empty words because it's already been done. That great act has been finished, and there's no cause for me to ask him to do so. Not only that, but I would even argue that it is unwise to ask it, as it presumes wishful thinking over established fact. For example, in my prayers I don't ask God to love me. I don't say "Oh God, please love me. Just love me. I need you to love me. Will you love me." I don't do that because I am already thoroughly loved by the saviour. When I ask Jesus to take a concrete action which he has already done, it distorts the reality and the magnitude of what he has already done. It's bad theology because it tacitly questions settled acts of the saviour and cast them in a unbiblical light, which then reinforces the bad theology. It's like saying "Jesus, show yourself to be God." He's been there, done that, and has the holes in his wrists to prove it.
Instead of saying "God forgive me." the better thing would be to say something along the lines of "God, help me feel forgiven." or "God, I know I'm forgiven, help me respond to your forgiveness better." or "God, I hate my sins, let the fact that they are covered by your blood lead me hate them even more, that you would have to die for them." But a believer asking God to forgive you after the fact, as if its in that moment God would actually forgive you? Ultimately that's blasphemy, as it distorts and degrades what Jesus has already done thousands of years ago, and it's not something that I feel comfortable saying.

We all remember the fun songs, story times and art projects in kindergarten. But these days, the young students are expected to do much more. And, if your kindergartener is born in the summer, it can be hard for them to keep up.
A handful of area schools offer a program to make sure even the youngest of students are ready to start school.
Students sing songs, study numbers and letters and create are work in Kristen Abbey's classroom. It's a busy place. She says, "We're kind of right in the middle between preschool and kindergarten."
Her class is Developmental Kindergarten at Timber Ridge Elementary School in Johnston. 57 students are enrolled this year, which is about 11.5% of the district's kindergarten class. Abbey says, "A lot of parents feel their child just isn't quite ready for kindergarten, maybe social skill wise or pre-academically. They just want that extra year to get that boost, so when they go to Kindergarten they feel successful and ready to roll."
The Johnston Community School District started offering the program last year at the request of parents. It's a half day class designed for students with summer birthdays. Associate Superintendent Bruce Amendt says, "It would give them an additional year to mature and develop before they started all day Kindergarten and then 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade."
The extra year can help the youngest of students because Kindergarteners have big academic goals to meet. Mrs. Abbey says, "It's a lot more academic, a lot more rigorous, a lot less free time, and play time than when we remember. They're reading by the end of the year, so it's a big challenge."
Johnston school leaders say parents decide to enroll their kids in Developmental Kindergarten. There is no readiness assessment. Amendt says the program doesn't cost the district extra money.
A couple other metro schools offer a DK program, but the Iowa Department of Education does not track how many schools offer this statewide.

Hickey: Broken hearts cross all lifestylesWritten by Emily Hickey | | email@example.com
When someone's heart breaks, either an outrageous amount of strength develops inside them or the daily reminders of what once was threaten to shatter their world all over again. All of this combined with emotions of anger, sadness and confusion is where I find myself today.
Recently, I experienced the most difficult break up that I have ever had. I'm still baffled by how a couple that loves each other through and through, can be challenged at every turn from outside elements. Elements that attempt to bully them to a breaking point. So at what point does one accept defeat and decide not only to break their own heart but also the heart of the person they love?
After reading a countless number of quotes (Yes, I am the type of person who can be lifted up from a simple quote), I have been trying to truly understand why the right decision always has to be the most heartbreaking. So as I sit here trying to exude strength while tears well up in my eyes, I am constantly reminded that everything happens for a reason, even if we don't see it right then.
However, that does not make it any easier to eat at our favorite restaurants or listen to the songs that just fit our relationship. Also, it is never easy to know that this heartbreak won't kill me.
Heartbreak hasn't completely crushed my brother or my best friend or any other person I know. The way my relationship developed and ended is no different than those of my straight brother or straight best friend. I've come to realize that matters of the heart should know no labels.
You see, when the heart of an LGBTQ person is broken, it breaks just the same as the heart of a straight person; it hurts just as much. Not every single one of our relationships is perfect. We feel lonely. We need affection and love just as much as the next person. We also heal over time and begin dating all over again because that is just the way these situations work, whether straight or gay.
We are looking for partners to raise children with; for that person to kiss our forehead when the world caves in; for that person who can help us learn more about ourselves; and for a life companion.
While my heart breaks and I only wish that things could have turned out differently, I take comfort in the fact that one day I'll find the person who will provide me with the companionship that my parents have had throughout the past 30 years.
As I tried to find solace in our decision to part ways, I found a quote that spans every type of heartache. Whether your heart hurts from the loss of a boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, cousin or whomever, I leave you with the words that have helped me find the strength to keep moving forward.
"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn and people we can't live without but have to let go." — Anonymous

As regards Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul (and other actions of his) we will here just scratch the surface of a debate (among admirers mostly) on Caesar's conduct, motives and achievements.
The debate among Caesar's detractors will be the subject of the two upcoming posts (a list of all installments is at the foot of the page.)
Imperialism by 'historical necessity'
We are dealing here with imperialism, it is clear, justified by some as 'historical necessity' (not the time now to get into philosophy of history.)
Luciano Canfora's judgement on Caesar is in truth multifaceted (Giulio Cesare, il dittatore democratico, Mondadori 2010, XV, pp. 137-8; English translation):
"Gaul was thus inserted by violence and genocide into the circuit of the Roman 'civilization' … Naturally, the romanization of Gaul is a phenomenon of such a historical amplitude as to impose the question of whether the accounting of the dead proposed with extreme clarity by Pliny the Elder (together with the harsh accusation that Caesar hid his figures) should not however give way, on the plane of historical assessment, to what can be considered the crucial event in the formation of medieval and later modern Europe."
Mere ambition
or conquest with a big vision?
As for "whether Caesar's conquest was motivated by mere ambition" rather than by the design of opening a 'new frontier', Canfora observes:
"As if the two things could really be distinguished in the work of a great statesman."
Theodor Mommsen too had argued (History of Rome, V,7. The Subjugation of the West):
"It is more than an error, it is an outrage upon the sacred spirit dominant in history, to regard Gaul solely as the parade ground on which Caesar exercised himself and his legions for the impending civil war."
"Though the subjugation of the West was for Caesar so far a means to an end that he laid the foundations of his later height of power in the Transalpine wars, it is the especial privilege of a statesman of genius that his means themselves are ends in their turn. Caesar needed no doubt for his party aims a military power, but he did not conquer Gaul as a partisan."
"There was a direct political necessity for Rome to meet the perpetually threatened invasion of the Germans thus early beyond the Alps, and to construct a rampart there which should secure the peace of the Roman world."
Were German migrations
Rome's big problem?
According to 19th century Mommsen, one of Caesar's main merits was that of understanding who the big enemy of Rome actually was:
"Inasmuch as [Caesar] with sure glance perceived in the German tribes the rival antagonists of the Romano-Greek world;
inasmuch as with firm hand he established the new system of aggressive defense down even to its details, and taught men to protect the frontiers of the empire by rivers or artificial ramparts, to colonize the nearest barbarian tribes along the frontier with the view of warding off the more remote, and to recruit the Roman army by enlistment from the enemy's country;
he gained for the Hellenico-Italian culture the interval necessary to civilize the West …"
Today's views by historians are more complex. A number of factors (not only German mass migrations, seen mostly as gradual integration) are seen as causes of Rome's fall (see a list of theories about why Rome fell).
Furthermore, Germania at the time of Caesar (1rst cent. BC; or of Augustus and Hermann, 1rst cent. AD) was backward compared to Germania in the 4th-5th centuries AD.
As Peter Heather put it (The Fall of the Roman Empire. A new History. I,2. Pan Books 2005):
"It could hardily be clearer that 19th-century visions of an ancient German nation were way off target … the inhabitants of first century Germania [Germans, Celts and another unidentified group, according to Heather] had no capacity to formulate and put into practice a sustained and unifying political agenda (p.55.)"
It was therefore not German military prowess – Heather continues, p.58 – to scare the Romans off Germania, but its poverty [different was the case of richer Gaul, MoR.]
The issue of Parthia
Getting back to Caesar's motives for conquering Gaul, he was surely aware of the German danger (L. Canfora). That he wrote this in the Commentarii as justification for his wars doesn't though prove much.
Caesar's literary work was political. Caesar's bloody conquest had outraged many of his adversaries. The roman general needed to indicate his conquest as preemptive.
The Cimbri's and Teutones' dreadful raids in Gaul and Italy – occurred 50 years earlier – could have nonetheless brought serious problems to Rome had Gaius Marius, Caesar's uncle, not stopped them.
Caesar was therefore aware of the danger even before facing Ariovistus. That Germani were considered by him Rome's big problem is doubtful though. It is more likely that the Romans, in the various phases of their empire, feared more the much stronger and civilized power of the Parthians in the East [Heather, p.48 et. al.; see also Roman-Parthian wars.]
Some evidence shows this may have also been Caesar's view.
Crassus, Caesar's amicus, had been defeated in 55 BC at Carrhae by the Parthians of his time (Crassus had been killed and 7 legions annihilated). All this had happened during Caesar's Gallic wars.
So Caesar, as Mommsen wrote, "taught men to protect the frontiers of the empire" toward Germania but did not plan any conquest of Germania beyond the Rhine. In the last period of his life he was instead preparing a military expedition against the Parthians which he could not carry out because he was murdered in 44 BC.
[the two paragraphs above reflect MoR's opinion]
"Reorganization of the State,
more than Gaul, was crucial"
The weakness of the declining Roman aristocracy, according to Mommsen, meant danger to Rome.
"It hardly admits of a doubt – he argued – that if the rule of the senate had prolonged its semblance of life … the Italian civilization would not have become naturalized either in Gaul, or on the Danube, or in Africa and Spain."
The British historian Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889 – 1975; Julius Caesar current Britannica's entry) downplays the importance of the conquest of Gaul by Caesar. To him the reorganization of the state and the removal of an oligarchy no longer à la hauteur was more crucial.
"Great though this achievement was, its relative importance in Caesar's career and in Roman history has been overestimated … In Caesar's mind his conquest of Gaul was probably carried out only as a means to his ultimate end. He was acquiring the military manpower, the plunder, and the prestige that he needed to secure a free hand for the prosecution of the task of reorganizing the Roman state and the rest of the Greco-Roman world. This final achievement of Caesar's looms much larger than his conquest of Gaul, when it is viewed in the wider setting of world history."
Caesar vs Shih Huang Ti
A.J. Toynbee here sings praises to Caesar's overall achievements.
"This cool-headed man of genius with an erratic vein of sexual exuberance undoubtedly changed the course of history at the Western end of the Old World."
"By liquidating the scandalous and bankrupt rule of the Roman nobility, he gave the Roman state —and with it the Greco-Roman civilization— a reprieve that lasted for more than 600 years in the East and for more than 400 years in the relatively backward West. […] The prolongation of the life of the Greco-Roman civilization had important historical effects."
"Caesar's political achievement was limited. Its effects were confined to the Western end of the Old World and were comparatively short-lived by Chinese or ancient Egyptian standards. The Chinese state founded by Shih Huang Ti in the 3rd century BC still stands, and its future may be still greater than its past.
Yet, even if Caesar were to prove to have been of lesser stature than this Chinese colossus, he would still remain a giant by comparison with the common run of human beings."

A Dornier Do-228-200 twin-turboprop crashed this morning, three minutes after taking off from Tribhuvan airport in Kathmandu, a Nepal police spokesman confirms.
The aircraft, operated by Sita Air and bearing registration 9N-AHA, took off from Tribhuvan at 06:17 local time. It was operating on the Tribhuvan-Lukla route.
Shortly after take-off, however, the pilot noticed "abnormalities" in the aircraft and requested to return to Tribhuvan airport, police spokesman Binod Singh tells Flightglobal.
"He had received permission from air traffic control to land but crashed before it could return to the airport," he says, adding that the weather was clear.
Sita Air
The aircraft crashed into the banks of Manohara River, about 2km from the airport, at 06:20 local time. Witnesses say they spotted fire on the tail of the turboprop, says Singh.
None of the 19 people onboard – three crew, seven British, five Chinese and four Nepalese, survived.
Press Association
Lukla is a popular tourist destination near Mount Everest.
According to Flightglobal Pro, Sita Air received its air operator's certificate in 2000 and launched services in February 2003 with a single Dornier Do-228K turboprop. The Kathmandu-based carrier operates two Do-228-200s, with a third in storage.
In May, an Agni Air Dornier 228-200 turboprop also crashed in Nepal. The aircraft was attempting to land at Jomson airport in northwest Nepal when it crashed, killing 15 of the 21 people onboard

Read Poems by
Tifarrah Miller
I'm sitting In my wheel chair unable to move. But the doctors say there's nothing wrong.
they say it's just me.
days later I am walking again. what a strange phenomenon. Is my disease a blessing or
a curse. No doubt for sure it is eating me up. And when I feel a certain way will my legs
just go away.
I can't decided get depressed and I take some pills so I can rest. But I do not die why
am I not dead I wonder why?
soon I'm in a hospital where they help kids like me kids with bipolar, and depression,
and the conversion disorder like me.
But still It doesn't go away. It's with me now everyday.like a label on my face like
a sign of disgrace. This is me now. But I will not let it decide my fate.

DALLAS, TEXAS -- In August 2004 I leased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica from Chrysler Financial for 3 yrs. On July 30, 2007 I decided to purchase the vehicle. I went to a local bank and refinanced the vehicle. They sent a cashier's check to Chrysler on July 30, 2007. They check cleared on August 10th. On September 4, 2007 I received a letter from Chrysler stating that I was in default of my loan (that had a ZERO balance) because they needed the "Vehicle Purchase Package". This package was sent via Fed Ex to my previous address.
The finance department had my new address, but evidently the lease area did not. On September 4th, 2007, I dealt with **, Lease Maturity Advisor-Remarketing Operation. She sent me via email the package. I completed it and faxed it back to her. I know she received it because she sent me an email bank. The copy of my driver's license did not make the fax for some reason, but I just found that out today.
On October 10th, myself and the loan officer at the bank where I refinanced both left multiple messages for ** regarding where the title to my car was. No response!! This morning at 6 AM, Chrysler sent a tow company to repossess my car that is paid off!! They said I owed $66!! I have been on the telephone all day dealing with this. I finally got a hold of ** and she told me that she did not call me or email me to tell me that she did not receive the copy of my license because and I quote "I am not her customer".
She said that she has lots of other customers to deal with and that the representative that handled my account had made calls (to my old telephone number). The funny thing is that my name, address, telephone number, cell phone number, and fax number was on all of the emails that she received from me. I can't get her supervisor to call me back and I just found out that they have now sent a check back to my bank rejecting my pay off that they already cashed!!
They told me that I would have to go through a local dealership to buy my car AGAIN! Are they crazy!! This is the most ridiculous thing I has ever happened to me in my life! I will never deal with Chrysler Financial again! I will never BUY another Chrysler product again because of the way I have been treated! I am outraged at their customer service! If they worked for me, I would fire them!
On June 22 2011, I get a recall paper for parts on my car. It tells me that I can't get car fixed until after July 15 2011. I take it to dealership and they don't have parts. No dealership in 50 mile radius has parts. Call Chrysler they say they don't know when parts will be ready.
I told them that on June 26th I was going down 367 at 75 mph and car just shut itself off. It is not safe for this to happen with my kids in the car. They say just wait till we get parts but we don't know when that will be. They will not help. I'm frustrated, and concerned about driving with my kids in the car.
Luckily the day they this happened no one was near me and I could get to side of road without incident. I may not be lucky next time. I need my car fixed. This is the 2nd recall I have had on this car and I have had it less than one year.
My son has a 2000 Dodge Durango SUV. While driving on the interstate he heard a clunk and asked us in the car behind if we had seen anything fall from his car. Well eventually we had to pull off the road. What had happened was something had hit the fan blade and bent it. We had no idea what this could be.
We had the car towed to a repair shop and upon further investigation we were told that the truck has a condenser fan which sits in front of the engine fan and it is held together with plastic tags, much like the ones that the police use when they run out of metal handcuffs. Now he has to have the condenser fan replace, the fan shroud, the water pump and the fan blade. Why don't they tell you that the cars are put together with junk before you purchase them? I guess, you probably would think twice.
Paid off my truck with an insurance claim. I only owed $1200 and the over payment was in the amount of $5800.. They cashed the check 11/10/10 and I was to have the over payment and title back in 21 days. It's now 12/30/10 and Chrysler still has my $5800 and are unable to tell me when they will send it to me.
I have been told 4 times someone will return my numerous phone calls. I have been told the check is in the mail 3 times and now they simply say they don't know when I will get my $5800 back. I have brought 3 vehicles from Chrysler over the years and I will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! Companies like this need to go away and our government needs to let them sink!
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- I have a 2007 PT Cruiser and it has so many problems, I cannot name them all in this review. The engine has been designed to fall apart at 70,000 miles and repairs are a joke. There is nothing under the hood that can be fixed for less than 600 dollars. I didn't know I was buying a BMW, we're just to fix the engine.
Any part was going to break the bank. The warranty is a joke. They always find a way around that, or they go out of business and leave you out in the cold. Thank Chrysler for nothing but problems.
After paying on a chapter 13 bankruptcy for 18 months, the trustee paid Chrysler Financial $2,837 beyond the terms and payments amount due to this company. When the bankruptcy was dismissed due to a job loss, this company reversed the $2,837 payment from principle balance and absorbed the extra cash to interest profit. The final statement from the trustee showed me owing the company $11,563.00. They sold the vehicle for $11,500 and are now suing for an additional $5,000 + court and attorneys fees. They have already received $33,000 on a $24,000 loan.
This company has had no intentions on settling this account admirably and simply will do what it can to collect as much as they can. They will not inform their customers of what the additional fees and charges are for. This is not the type of behavior that is expected from a Government bailed out company that has also filed for bankruptcy protection. If you purchase a vehicle from Chrysler and the financing is offered through Chrysler Financial Services, beware before you sign the contract. It is my opinion that this company has no ethics when it comes to collections..
I purchased a 2007 Jeep Compass with only 14k miles on it... was very happy. Two weeks ago the transmission failed! I called the company to check warranty status and was told that my warranty expired at 36k, I have 39k on the transmission! I am still within the time limit of the warranty but out of miles. This is not a transmission that can be rebuilt; it must be replaced. It will cost $5200!
The company flat out refused to assist in any way even though this is my second Jeep! Their reason was that I did not have my car serviced at their garage or did not purchase an extended warranty. I didn't think I needed to purchase an extended warranty on a transmission! I didn't think that the transmission would drop out after only 39k miles! I might have had my car serviced at their garage if they didn't charge so much to do it.
When I went into the dealership to have the work done, I was told that this transmission was on back order! That suggests there are more people experiences this type of problems! How many people have to get there transmission replaced at $5k for Chrysler to recall? Needless to say, I will never purchase a Chrysler auto again! Shame on the corporation! This is just plain wrong.
I have a 2008 dodge charger with annoying brake squeal. I bought the car new about 6 months ago. First trip to the dealer they sanded the rotors, noise stopped for a few days. Second trip dealer said nothing was wrong with the brakes. Called Chrysler they said take it to another dealer (that dealer was not a corporate dealer) but I would have to pay to have the brakes replaced since the car has over 12,000 miles. Chrysler customer service was rude and not at all helpful. This is my first Chrysler product and is sure to be my last.
At 83000 mi. my 2004 Hemi Durango broke a valve spring on the #1 cyl. This caused a bent valve, bent pushrod, damaged the piston and valve guide. According to a local Dodge dealers service department this has been a common problem with this motor. They even have an upgrade kit to fix it. I have now been told the Head is a non-machinable part (read throwaway) and will cost an additional $2,000 on top of the $1,700 already quoted.
Dodge will accept no responsibility even knowing that this problem is a persistent one. Those of us who purchased the first gen of Hemis are screwed. I will never purchase a Dodge or Chrysler product again. In the past I have been a loyal Dodge buyer, no longer. No wonder they are insolvent.

Siren's Feast, An Edible Odyssey by Nancy Mehagian is a story set against the backdrop of the late '60s, early '70s and captures that colorful era with over 40 recipes as delectable as the journey itself.
Tristine Rainer, PhD and author of Your Life as Story, Discovering the New Autobiography and Writing Memoir as Literature has this to say about Siren's Feast:
"What a romp—sex, drugs, and gourmet food! As Calvin Tomkins' Living Well is the Best Revenge recalled Fitzgerald's generation of ex-pats, so Mehagian's culinary memoir celebrates the '60s generation. And underneath the book's sensual fun, there is spirit feeding the soul."
Here, Mehagian shares a delectable fresh peach and hazelnut tart recipe.

Landon: Holliday delays hire of defensive coordinator
It's not that hiring a defensive coordinator isn't a priority to Doc Holliday.
It most certainly is.
That's why Marshall's new head football coach is taking his time before adding the final piece to his coaching staff puzzle.
"I've put it on hold," said Holliday. "I'm not going to work on the defensive coordinator position again until next week. It's such a critical hire I want to make sure I get the right guy."
The question is: Just who is the right guy?
Is it Rick Minter?
It appears increasingly unlikely that the former Marshall defensive coordinator and interim head coach for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl will be the choice.
Just consider the time frame. If the pick is Minter why wait until next week? There would be no reason to put the hire on hold if it were Minter because he's still right here in Huntington.
Is it Chuck Heater?
The University of Florida defensive coach seems like a longshot. Yes, he is the father-in-law of new Marshall defensive line coach Rich Cronin, but this is business.
That's why Heater reportedly is interested in Michigan's vacant defensive coordinator job. ... and vice-versa. Besides that, there still are rumbles about the possibility of Heater staying with the Gators as co-defensive coordinator.
Is it Mike Cassity?
The Herd's secondary coach could be Holliday's ace-in-the-hole. Besides being an outstanding recruiter in Florida, Cassity also has served as defensive coordinator at eight different schools.
His most recent defensive coordinator job was at Louisville (2004-07) where his defense ranked among the Top 40 in the nation in total defense each season.
Prior to Louisville, Cassity was the defensive coordinator at Illinois for three years.
The rest of the list includes Baylor, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, East Carolina, Northeast Louisiana and Western Kentucky.
So, Cassity obviously has a wealth of experience.
And just imagine the scenario it would create. ... Doc Holliday with "Hopalong" Cassity.
Although defensive coordinator is the most high-profile vacancy on Holliday's staff, it isn't the only opening. MU also needs a new strength and conditioning coach.
That position is expected to be filled Monday.
Two players have left Marshall's program. They are quarterback Jake Laudenslayer, who was redshirted last season after joining the Herd as a junior college transfer, and linebacker Corey Hart, a junior who appeared in only six games last season.
In other player news, defensive tackles Johnny Jones and Brandon Bullock were academically ineligible for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Both are expected to regain their eligibility next semester.
Marshall's new coaching staff is in the midst of a big recruiting week.
"We've got seven guys on the road," said Holliday. "I've got Zach (new wide receivers coach Zach Smith) in the office with me this week.
"It's going really good, really good. There are players out there. We've just got to find the right ones."
Holliday is eager for Marshall's players to return this weekend. Classes begin Monday.
"We're going to have a big meeting on Sunday night," he said.
And the Big Ten opponent is. ... Purdue.
Marshall and the Boilermakers have agreed on a home-and-home series, according to sources. The Herd will play at West Lafayette, Ind., in 2012, then host Purdue in 2017.
And don't be afraid of Purdue not showing at Edwards Stadium.
The contract includes a $500,000 buyout clause.

Coarse Locks Blackout Lottery
Coarse Locks Blackout
As night fell, the newly hatched Locks pounced through the meadows, their hands launching them across the darkening plains. They began to disperse, some turning toward a distant lake reflecting the piercing light of the moon; others were intriqued by the tress in the nearby forest, whose branches fought for space in the sky. They leapt onward, the ground thundering beneath them. Every leaf quivered and every creature trembled with each gargantuan step they took.
Designed and sculpted by Mark Landwehr and Sven Washck (coarse). This vinyl edition is limited to 100 pieces and available exclusively from Rotofugi Gallery via lottery for $225 plus shipping. Please click here for the lottery entry page and additional details. Entries will be accepted until 12 Noon Central time on Thursday, January 9.

Went there for restaurant week. Picked it because they offered 4 item selections instead of 3. Good appetizer, tender and flavorful steak about average, delicious salad, and dessert was OK (not remarkable). Servers were very good. But I was disappointed in the only choice of potato being mashed potatoes that, based on their flavor (or lack of it) and texture seemed to be re-hydrated out of a box. I ignored them after the first forkful. Seating near the door was cold and the bench with the overstuffed pillows is not kind to the lower back. Bar drinks were extremely stingy especially given the price. All in all, I did not feel the delivery justified the expense, even for restaurant week.

Went there during restaurant week for late dinner. Sat at the bar and ordered a Crab Bisque, Marmont salad, 12 oz Ribeye steak (med-rare) and decided to choose desert later, which caused some confusion with the waitress and she had to ask the bartender if that was ok. Got my soup in a quickly along with some bread and some sort of an oil dip; the bread was a good addition to the soup and as such I would have liked it to be warmer. I enjoyed the soup which was very good, both quality and quantity wise, along with an accommodating glass of Magic Hat #9. After soup came the salad which had a bit sour taste to it for the purpose of relieving the last bits of soup taste to have my precious taste buds ready for the coming steak. I had finished my beer while I ate and ordered a Stella Artois to complement the steak. When the steak arrived (I must note that the staff had perfect timing for bringing out the meals - not to soon and not too late, although that may change depending on how many diners there are at any given time). With it's large wooden handle firmly seated in my closed palm I used the sharp steak knife to cut through the soft meat of a properly prepared medium-rare steak. It parted with the larger piece easily, with little effort. That piece quickly made it's way into my oral cavity and the chewing started. Very nice meat and I confirmed now with my taste buds what my eyes and hands already knew: this was indeed a very well prepared steak. The steak came with a portion of mashed potatoes that were good but I had to add a bit of salt to adjust to my preference. I did not finish the steak so I got it boxed along with the bread pudding I picked for desert. The waitress was very nice and attentive. She introduced herself from the start, which was a very nice gesture. Her name it Tee(sp?). The bartender was also attentive and helped out when he could. The beer selection is less-than moderate and contains mostly TV-beers, also there is no tap but the abundance of liquor compensates for that just a bit. The temperature was a bit hot, not a major nuisance though. Conclusion: Very good and attentive service with very good timing. Very good food clearly prepared with care. Again, very good food. Bar stools could have been more comfortable, temperature could have been down a few degrees and with some respectable beer, at least bottled, this place would be near-perfect!

Marmont, located in the heart of old city, lacks quality. From the young, sometimes accomodating staff to the fatty cuts of filet, which are hardly ever cooked right. Crab bisque tasted okay, but i have had better soups at Houlihans. The filet, i ordered well done, was soft and mushy, and quite displeasing. Only plus side to the experience was the alcohol, and the sometimes attractive young ladies whom walk in, just to walk out in a few minutes. For the price of the food here, one may eat at a Ruths Chris, or a Chops, or a Capital Grille, and have a far better experience with a far better staff. Staff is a bunch of college kids whom have little to no adequate or manners, though you show them the utmost. Have to ask more than once for things. cheese steaks rolls seemed to be the cooked, frozen variety which just need heating. Overall 2.5-5 stars

I haven't been to Marmont in about six months and after going the other night....I was thrilled to see they have renovated the inside (which it desperately needed) and updated the menu with some creative dishes (cheese steak spring rolls are a must....). The food has always been good and now I think it's great....the atmosphere has also gotten a facelift...the lighting is much better and the music has a great vibe to it. You have to check this place out any night of the week, but my favorite is now Friday after work (happy hour) with dinner and drinks to follow.

The food was excellent especially the filet mignon, it was tasty, seasoned well and cooked as requested. The other people I went with had the NY Strip and were also very happy with their steak too.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Ricky Stanzi threw three touchdowns passes in his first start, Shonn Greene ran for 130 yards and Iowa pounded FIU 42-0 for its second straight blowout win.
The Hawkeyes, who routed Maine 46-3 last week, looked even better against the Golden Panthers. Stanzi, who got the start over Jake Christensen, was 8-of-10 for 162 yards in less than a half as the Hawkeyes (2-0) racked up 512 yards and led 35-0 at halftime.
Christensen came on and was 8-of-12 for 99 yards and one touchdown. But it was clear Stanzi has taken the lead in the competition to be Iowa's starter the rest of the season.
FIU (0-2) had no answer for Iowa's defensive front, which stopped the Golden Panthers all day. The Hawkeyes had six sacks, and when they weren't slamming quarterbacks Paul McCall and Wayne Younger to the turf they were stuffing running lanes and forcing both to hurry throws.
Younger came off the bench and was 11-of-20 for 107 yards to lead FIU, which lost for the 25th time in 26 games dating back to 2006. The Golden Panthers have now been outscored 82-10 this season.
The Hawkeyes rolled up 209 yards of total offense and a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.
Iowa scored on its opening drive for the second straight week, after failing to get any points on opening possessions last season. Greene capped that drive with a bruising 11-yard TD run, bouncing off a number of defenders before stretching the ball over the goal line.
Stanzi made it 14-0 with a 59-yard touchdown pass to Derrell Johnson-Koulianos. Stanzi hit Johnson-Koulianos in stride about 40 yards downfield, and Johnson-Koulianos used some nifty footwork to sidestep defenders near the out-of-bounds line and reach the end zone.
Christensen came in for Stanzi and threw a third-down pass into the turf on his first attempt, drawing a chorus of boos from the Kinnick Stadium faithful. That was quickly forgotten, as Paki O'Meara pushed Iowa's lead to 21-0 with a 17-yard TD run late in the first quarter.
Iowa made it 28-0 on a screen pass by Stanzi that Brandon Myers took 23 yards for a touchdown. Stanzi then hit Colin Sandeman for an 8-yard TD pass with 2:49 left in the first half.
Christensen, who played just two series in the first half, got the nod to start the second half. He pushed the lead to 42-0 on a 23-yard TD pass to Sandeman early in the fourth quarter.
Greene, who spent last season at a junior college because of academic trouble, passed the 100-yard mark for the second straight game. Sandeman's touchdown grabs were the first two of his career.
