Dan O'Neill had already committed to Michigan, therefore Rodriguez could talk to him. As for Pryor, HE contacted RichRod after he was hired to tell him he had put the Wolverines back onto his list of possible schools. Pryor did not actually get any contact from Michigan until after the bowl game was over and the recruiting period opened back up.
I thought I made this clear in the piece: I don't blame OSU at all. If they are smart enough to ask for the waiver, and the NCAA is desperate enough for the Buckeyes to succeed to give it to them even while they are being investigated, OSU should take full advantage of it. The NCAA is at fault for this one.
When RichRod was hired, it was during the recruiting Dead Period. The only recruits he could talk to at that time were ones already committed to Michigan.
From Commissioner Roger Goodell: "We appreciate that Ndamukong Suh, Coach Schwartz, and team president Tom Lewand took the time to meet with us today. Ndamukong plays the game with great skill and passion and is a major reason for the Lions' success this year. In the course of our dialogue today, we reviewed video showing that Ndamukong has clearly made the adjustments to play consistently within the rules so that he can continue to help the team. We commend Ndamukong's leadership in taking the initiative to schedule today's meeting."
Well, I guess that is what everyone else was seeing that I wasn't. That's what a Michigan fan gets for having faith in Michigan State . . .
You really think using the entire bullpen and needing an amazing throw from Austin Jackson to save a 1-run lead for the sweep is better than a nice, easy Justin Verlander win after he was spotted 7 runs and getting back-to-back demoralizing wins over the Indians? I cannot disagree more. It was a mistake to not start Verlander on Sunday.
Yep, Inge would thankfully still be in AAA. Betemit would have teed off on David Huff's softball pitches on Saturday just like Inge did. Dirks would have started in right field Saturday instead of Old Man Magglio. Verlander would have waltzed through an easy, no pressure win after he was spotted seven runs in the third inning, and the team wouldn't have to use the entire bullpen to get out of that game. Detroit would have a 4 and a half game lead on Cleveland, and would have also completely demoralized them by crushing them in back-to-back games. Sounds awful, doesn't it?
I love the tired, old "They're in first place. Leyland must know what he's doing. Leave him alone" argument. As I recall, they were in first place by seven games on September 6, 2009, and lost the division to miss the playoffs. Leyland was doing the same things then -- like resting Polanco on the final weekend and pushing Verlander's start back a game -- that he is doing now. With Leyland's track record, Tiger fans MUST look at every move he makes through a microscope.
I believe the tigers will win this division, but there is a small part of me that is worried Leyland is going to screw it up.
The ONLY reason I would want the team to get rid of Hanson is because he makes over $2-million, and Rayner would make about $600-thousand. The difference between those two salaries is a nickle back or depth at linebacker. I'd rather have Rayner plus another player on the field who could make an impact than keep Hanson.
I was going to reply to you Dick MC, but aao96 said it as well as I could have. The only other things I would have added are stranding runners on third with less than two outs; fielding errors that turn inning-ending outs into unearned runs; regularly failing to hit a cut-off man; walking weak batters late in games; and rally-killing stupidity on the basepaths.
Any other questions?
At the Michigan AP Sports Editors meeting a couple weeks ago, Brandon specifically used the term "throwback jersey." Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has also said that both teams will be wearing throwback jerseys for the game.
But semantics aside, if the idea is to celebrate the storied history of the Michigan football program, why not recreate one of their actual historic uniforms rather than create something out of the blue? Is there nothing in the ACTUAL history of the program worth using?
That was my typo, not theirs. Thanks for pointing it out.
I am shocked to learn that. I have been using "octopi" my entire life. Thanks for the lesson Justin!
You guys have to realize it won't be until late June when Gores owns this team. That's going to be after the draft and (assuming a new CBA is in place) in the heart of free agency. It would be silly for him to come in and make sweeping changes with so little time for the new guy to get his feet up underneath him. Gores will take his time investigating what works and what doesn't work. From everything I have read about Gores, doing something without knowing everything from the inside would also be out of character. He'll take his time, then make the big moves. That is why I think Dumars will still be here for the time being. This is a guy who took almost 8 months to make the decision to buy the team, he is not rushing into anything.
As far as the salary cap, who knows what will happen with the new CBA? It might be easy to get rid of a bad contract once it is signed. Also, Gores might be willing to completely screw up the cap for next season knowing it will free up space for the year after that when he is ready to have Dumars or his replacement make big moves. This guy is in it for the long haul, and he has a couple year grace period where anything bad that happens will be blamed on previous ownership. He wants to win now, sure, but it is much more important to plan to win consistently in the future.
"Octopuses"? Really?
I have a feeling the NFL rule would just be the guy calling from upstairs to the on-field ref, who would then go under the hood to review. The final decision would still be on the field.
Vegas doesn't predict winners and losers, they figure out the spreads that will get even money on both sides. So many people will pick the 9 over 8 that they basically all become pick-ems.
If getting a win over 40 RPI Illinois is good, then wouldn't keeping MSU above 50 RPI and holding on to credit for those two wins be even better? 19 wins overall, including 4 over top-50 teams looks a lot better than 19 wins and only 2 wins over the top-50. I don't think the latter gets them anything more than a play-in game, where the former gets them an 11-seed and a trip to the REAL tournament.
What I meant by that was that the pundits considered Michigan State in the tourney prior to Saturday's loss, while Michigan was on the bubble. Now both teams are considered to be on the bubble.
Then look at it strictly from a Tiger fan perspective -- Cabrera was going through counseling last year following the 2009 incident, and had his best year as a pro. If the team cracks down on him now and that gets Cabrera to get himself clean, he will extend the number of quality years he plays for the Tigers, rather than just getting by on complete talent and then falling off a cliff. Encouraging him to fix his problem now is the best thing the team can do for their own long-term.
How right you are qb. I will fix it in the story, but wanted to point out here that you weer the one that caught my mistake.

Okay girls I'm starting a new thing. Y'all know I don't like to cook, BUT one of my New Year's goals was to feed my family better. So I'm working on it. You'll be happy to know since the first of the year I've cooked ALOT. Like 2-3 times a week...and then we eat leftovers and go out, but that's beside the point.
Every week I will share a recipe and you can link up too. It has to be healthy and quick...not a lot of fancy ingredients. My recipes will be geared toward the Diabetes diet that I'm on and will probably be slow cooker 'cause that's just how I roll.
My recipe this week is my super yummy cuban sandwiches I made the other night. I got the idea from my slow cooker recipe book, but then changed it up like my favorite restaurant, so it's almost my creation...ha;) I do not photograph food well so bear with me. If you want to see a gorgeous foodie blog with amazing gluten free recipes visit my friend Lissa at Keep it Simple, Keep it Fresh. Photographing food really is an art form. I just don't have the patience to stage it perfectly. When my food is ready I don't want to whip out my camera...I want to EAT it!
Okay girls...so grab my button, link up to your recipe post URL, NOT your blog url (it can be an old post) and let's feed our families. It should be a helpful resource for those of us who struggle with meal plannning.
382. it's friday!!

Apparatus for both supporting a plurality of plastic bags and for facilitating the automatic opening of the bags one at a time to permit the filling of each bag. Each of the bags is provided with generally aligned apertures in its front and back bag walls. Preferably the apertures are circular and with one of larger diameter than the other. A plurality of the bags is supported on an inclined rod having a diameter only slightly less than the aperture of smaller diameter in the opposed bag walls. At the dispensing end of the support rod a flange is provided which is of such size that the aperture of larger diameter in the opposed bag walls can quite readily pass over such flange, but the opposing bag wall is held by the flange and can be removed therefrom only by distorting and distending the smaller aperture. The plurality of bags on the rod is urged toward the flange by reason of the downward sloping inclination of the support rod. Air under pressure may be fed into the support rod and issued therefrom adjacent the flange, the resulting air jet facilitating the opening of the bag.
1. Apparatus for the dispensing of bags formed of a flexible plastic material from a stack of such bags, each bag having aligned apertures in its opposing side walls and with one of said apertures being larger than the other,
said apparatus comprising a shank whose cross-sectional dimensions are less than that of the smaller bag aperture so that a stack of said bags is easily slideable along said shank,
a rigid circumferential flange at one end of said shank whose cross-sectional dimensions is slightly less than that of the larger bag aperture but larger than the smaller bag aperture,
and mounting means for the other end of said shank for supporting said shank in a downwardly inclined position with said flanged end lower, the downward inclination of said shank being sufficient to ensure that the stack of bags is urged downwardly to abut said flange,
said shank being detachably supported on said mounting means.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said shank defines a longitudinal bore and also supports a nozzle at its flanged end, and means for feeding air under pressure into said bore.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 which further includes a support stand for detachably supporting a plurality of said shanks.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 which further includes a rigid plate which is slideable along said shank, and means for urging said plate toward the flanged end of said shank.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said means for urging said plate maintains said plate parallel to said flange.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said means for urging said plate includes a weight member and means for adjusting the effect of said member in urging said plate toward said flanged end of said shank.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 which further includes spring means acting in opposition to the effect of said weight member.
8. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said means for urging said plate includes a parallogram linkage.
The invention relates to apparatus for hanging a stack of plastic bags and for permitting the easy dispensing of bags from the stack one at a time so that each bag will readily be opened to permit filling it with goods such as groceries or similar items.
It is known in the art to provide devices on which a plurality of bags can be hung through aligned apertures in the front and rear bag walls which may be provided either expressly for hanging the bags on a support or for carrying the bags such as when the apertures are of sufficient size to act as hand holds. It is known also to support such a track of bags on a shank member which is generally cylindrical in shape and generally conforming to the cross-section of the shank. It is also disclosed in the prior-filed co-pending application of Yrjo Suominen Ser. No. 262,899, filed June 14, 1972, and assigned to the assignee of the present application, to provide for aligned apertures in the front and back bag walls which are of different size, and with the opening or openings in the front wall about the same or somewhat larger than the diameter of the flange while the opening in the back wall is somewhat smaller than the flange so that the flange holds the bag onto the support means while filling the bag and opening of the bag is greatly facilitated by the fact that the front bag wall can readily slip over the flange. Removal of the bag from the support means can easily be accomplished nevertheless by pulling on the bag so as to distend the somewhat smaller aperture in the rear wall so that it can pass over the flange.
The front wall of the bag having the larger aperture can even more easily be removed from the support means by providing a means for inflating the bag with air, thereby readily removing the front bag wall from the flange so that the bag can easily be opened for filling. The apparatus of the aforesaid prior application, although highly advantageous over the prior art is nevertheless somewhat complicated in construction, thereby resulting in higher manufacturing costs, and is also susceptible to disturbances in operation, particularly with difficulty in causing the stack of bags to be continually urged toward the flange so that the bag nearest the flange will readily be capable of being opened as desired.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improvement over what is disclosed in the aforementioned application Ser. No. 262,899, such improvement comprising a mounting means for the flanged shank which permits such shank to be supported in a downwardly inclined position so that the force of gravity urges the stack of bags continually toward the flange. It is a further object to provide apparatus whereby a plurality of bag dispensing means may be arranged about a single supporting means. It is also an object of this invention to provide a support plate which is slidable about the inclined shank and provides a supporting surface for a stack of bags. The support plate is urged outwardly toward the flange on the shank and therefore aids in urging the stack of bags outwardly toward the flange so that they can more readily be dispensed.
FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the invention illustrating the inclined shank for supporting a stack of bags;
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate in plan and top views an arrangement whereby a plurality of inclined shanks is provided, each supporting a different stack of bags;
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the apparatus of FIG. 1 particularly providing for the discharge of air out of the shank adjacent the flange;
FIG. 5 illustrates a further embodiment of apparatus including a flat support plate for a stack of bags; and
FIG. 6 illustrates still another embodiment comprising a modification of that shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 1 illustrates a shank 10 which is preferably of circular cross-section and having a flange 12 at its lower, free end which is of somewhat larger diameter than the diameter of the main shank portion. The opposite end of the shank defines therein a transverse bore 14 which communicates with a longitudinal bore 16 extending along the bottom of the shank, both said bores 14 and 16 having a configuration such as to receive the L-shaped end of a support rod 18 which may be fastened at its right-hand end to a fixed part of the bag dispensing apparatus.
It will be apparent that the shank 10 can readily be removed from the support rod 18, and the right hand end of the shank which is preferably tapered as shown at 20 can then readily be inserted through the aligned apertures provided in the respective front and back walls 22a and 22b in each of the bags 22 in the stack of bags. Once the stack of bags has been placed on the shank, the shank can then be replaced on the support rod 18.
It will further be noted that the support rod 18 is bent at 24 to provide for a downward inclination of the shank 10 thereby ensuring that the force of gravity will cause the stack of bags 22 to move downwardly along the shank and be urged against the flange 12. As described in the aforementioned application Ser. No. 262,899, each front bag wall 22a has a diameter somewhat larger than that of flange 12 so that the front bag wall will readily slip over the flange as shown in FIG. 1. On the other hand, the aligned aperture in the rear bag wall 22b is of a size somewhat smaller than flange 12 so it can be moved over flange 12 only by pulling on the bag and distorting and distending the aperture so that the bag can be removed from the support means. Of course, while the bag is in the position where it is retained by its rear wall but with its front wall free of the flange 12, the bag is effectively opened thereby so that articles such as groceries or the like may readily be inserted therein.
The downward inclination of the shank 10 has been found to be very helpful in ensuring that the topmost bag in the stack will be urged against the flange 12 so that the bags can readily be dispensed one at a time.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show how a plurality of means of the type illustrated in FIG. 1 may be provided at a common location. Thus, a support base 26 has mounted thereon a vertical support rod 28 which carries at its upper end a support plate 30 having connected thereto a plurality of rods 18a-18d, each comparable to the rod 18 of FIG. 1. An inclined shank 10a-10d is supported by each of these 18a-18d, also similar to the manner shown in FIG. 1. It will be apparent that a plurality of stacks of bags can thus be supported from a single dispensing means.
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1. According to this embodiment, the support rod 30 is hollow so that air may be passed therethrough. The hollow interior of support rod 30 communicates with a longitudinal bore 32 in shank 34. Air passing through the bore 32 issues from the lower end of the shank adjacent the flange 36, a nozzle 38 being provided for this purpose and being so configured that the air discharging therefrom will be expelled into the partially open bag 22 to fully open the bag and thereby facilitate the insertion of goods therein. In this embodiment, the shank 34 is frictionally engaged by being inserted into a mating aperture 40 provided at the end of support rod 30, two resilient members 42 such as packing members being provided to bear frictionally against the shank 34 and hold it securely in place within aperture 42 although still permitting ready removal of the shank 34 therefrom so that a new stack of bags can be positioned about the shank.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, a supporting plate 44 is provided which pushes a stack of bags toward the free end of the shank 10. The plate 44, it will be noted, is so positioned that it lies substantially parallel to flange 12, i.e. with the lower edge of plate 44 being advanced forwardly of its upper edge. A single connecting arm 46 is shown in FIG. 5, but it will readily be understood that two such laterally spaced arms may equally well be employed. Each such arm 46 is hingedly connected at 48 to plate 44 and is also hingedly connected to a fixed support at hinge 50. A weight member 52 is provided which is movable along rod 46 to adjust the amount of pressure exerted by plate 44 against a stack of bags. Threaded engagement may be provided between member 52 and rod 46 so as to permit close adjustment of the effect provided by member 52. Under the influence of gravity, plate 44 is urged in a forward direction toward the flange 12, and weight 52 can be adjusted in position to regulate the pushing effect of the plate 44 against the stack of bags. If desired, a tension spring 54 may be connected between a support point 56 on plate 44 and a further fixed support means 58 so that the concurrent actions of the spring 54 and the weight 52 will maintain the pushing power of the plate against the stack of bags substantially constant independent of the thickness of the stack. It will be understood, of course, that a bore is provided in plate 44 of sufficient size to enable it to pass readily along the shank 10 without binding. Plate 14 can be made of plastic, wood, or metal or also of a metal wire grating.
FIG. 5 illustrates still another embodiment of the invention wherein the plate is supported by a fixed frame or other support 60 by means of parallel supporting arms of pairs of arms 62, 62a. The parallelogram linkage thus provided maintains the plate 64 always parallel to itself irrespective of its position along the shank 10. It should be understood that a weight such as the weight 52 of FIG. 5 may be employed in connection with the embodiment of FIG. 6 and that it is also feasible to use a spring comparable to the spring 54 shown in FIG. 5.

So I started playing Marimba this last summer, I managed to buy a student two-octave model for $500 (extreme luck and kindness.) And I've got all my major and minor scales learned and can recite most of my triads pretty quickly. I'm working on successive thirds (C-E, D-F, E-G) so on.
Where should I go from here? Should I just keep reading music from the Goldenberg book?
My goals are to be able to sight read really well and play jazz music on marimba.
What I'm asking for what are things to practice to get good, quick? I know that those two things in a music context are an oxymoron but you guys know what i mean
Re: Marimba
Get a Real Book or the Aebersold books and start working up tunes. If you want to work on reading, then read. If you want to work on jazz, then learn tunes, transcribe solos, learn to comp, and listen listen listen...
Re: Marimba
Re: Marimba
check www.vicfirth.com lot's of video lessons. check Mark Wessels.
I would start working with four mallets. The Burton grip:
One of Steve Gadd's many gigs: Makarimba Madness
Double Image:Dave Friedman marimba Dave Samuels Vibes (Caribbean Jazz Project, Spyrogyra)
I would assume you've heard Reich Music for 18 Musicians:
A Leigh Howard Stevens piece
Marimba jazz
Re: Marimba
Here's more:
another guy to check out is Steve Nelson. He plays vibraphone but I think some marimba too.
Victor Feldman with Shelly Manne
Re: Marimba
As far as marimba players in the jazz world, there are a few, but they're the exception, not the rule. "Typically" for jazz, the vibraphone is used. The marimba is *mostly* used for classical pieces. Of course, there are probably hundreds of exceptions, and you might view playing marimba in a jazz context as satisfying some niche, but for jazz music, the vibraphone is far more ideal, due to the sustain bar, the timbre of the instrument, and, quite frankly, the size and portability of the instrument.
Also, I'd recommend getting at least a 3-octave instrument for serious music study. If you want to continue with marimba, which I would highly encourage, you can find 4-octave models on eBay for about $1000. If you get a set of vibes, don't skimp and get a 2.5 octave model...get a full 3 octaves.
...but, while you have your current set up, get a Real Book, and start picking out tunes to listen to and learn, and then play the begeezus out of 'em. Learn them inside and out, how to solo over them, which chord substitutions work, how different jazz greats did them differently, etc...
Good luck and have fun!

From Think Progress comes the following needed information:
. . . a coalition of public policy and family advocacy organizations released "LGBT Families of Color: Facts at a Glance," which sheds light on the disparate impact of outdated laws and family policies on LGBT families of color and their children. The publication explores the challenges that LGBT Families of color face on a daily basis and dispels the myth often perpetuated in the media that LGBT families are largely white and middle class.
According to "LGBT Families of Color," there are roughly 2 million children in the United States being raised in LGBT families and 41 percent of these families are people of color. Both black and Latino same-sex couples are more likely to raise children than white same- sex couples. Black lesbians for example are twice as likely to be raising children as their white lesbian counterparts. The report also notes that:
Children of color, in particular, are more likely to be raised in diverse family configurations that include de facto parents and are more likely to be raised by LGBT parents. Therefore, antiquated laws have a disproportionately negative impact on children of color.
An alarming number of LGBT families of color are living in poverty. For example, 32 percent of children being raised by black same-sex couples are living in poverty compared to 7 percent of children raised by married heterosexual white parents. Yet many of these families, simply because they are LGBT, are denied access to safety net programs and federal and state tax benefits that would improve their economic situations.
The report gives a number of good solutions to this problem. I have a solution also.
How about the power brokers in the black community give this report some attention.
I'm talking to Roland Martin.
I'm talking to Tavis Smiley.
I'm talking to every organization claiming to speak for the black community, particularly those who publish annual "State of Black America" reports.
This is the time where we need true black leadership. These families need support but unfortunately they don't seem to get it. [cont'd]
What they do get are charlatans turning cute phrases against marriage equality in public while getting their palms and egos greased in private by mostly white-led religious right groups eager to play the black and gay communities against one another.
I get so tired of hearing about a coalition of black pastors standing at a press conference whining – at the behest of the National Organization of Marriage or what ever other religious right group – that one "can't equate sin with their skin" or "that homosexuality cannot be equated with being black."
It saddens me that these pastors are deliberately ignoring the fact that they know same-sex families of color who would benefit from their support. These families aren't going to disappear no matter how many Biblical verses are spoken.
It pains me that these supposed men and women of the cloth are fooling themselves into thinking that God somehow smiles upon them as they spew rhetoric which makes life difficult for these families and their children.
And it angers me that folks like Smiley, Martin, and many other black leaders will most likely cling to their Bibles as an excuse to ignore these families, as an excuse do the wrong thing rather than a reason to do the right thing.
These pastors and these leaders need to acknowledge same-sex families of color because until they do, they are stabbing their own people in the back.

Re: Let's see your Gretsch kits (saved the best for last!)
I got a new gretsch snare. 14x5 chrome over brass gretsch new classic limited. I believe only 200 of these were made. This is only my 2nd ever 8 lug snare, and I don't mind at all though, the die cast hoops make it a breeze to play. I played it against at least 10 other snares and this was my favorite. (except for an ocheltree solid steel machined snare that cost more than my whole kit). I really do like the sound of this drum, chrome over brass has this great dry crack if you hit it dead center that sits so nicely in a mix. very musical. It took a weekend to get used to the hoops being higher than my other snares though.
here is two other newer pics of my 70's gretsch kit 24, 13, 16.
here is an overhead picture with my a customs, i can't tell if the ride and the crash are accidentally switched or not? the crash looks really big. I use my a customs for outside gigs, and my k dark custom for inside gigs or quieter gigs.

Who We Are
The Liberty University Campus Garden is an initiative to demonstrate and promote creation care through sustainable practices — a necessary dimension of Christian stewardship.
We educate students on how to engage in earth stewardship through gardening and other lifestyle practices, equipping them with indispensable skills for ministry and for Christian service.
Garden Initiatives
- Educate students, faculty, and staff about gardening and provide them with skills that will familiarize them with creation care within the university and clarify how it fits into their lives.
- Utilize Liberty's land resources to produce fresh and healthy food that will serve as a support system for the university and for the local community.
- Provide a unique outdoor learning environment that will facilitate engagement with nature.
- Offer a meaningful place for a transient student body to come together and invest in a project that will benefit both the campus and the environment.
Fast Facts
- The Campus Garden was initiated in fall of 2012 and became operational in the late spring 2013.
- We grow veggies and fruits on a 1.5 acre plot that includes two large high tunnels that help us grow year round.
- We aim to use simple technology and skills that can be transferred anywhere in the world.
- We offer great opportunities to learn about all facets of growing; for those who already have some experience and for those who have none!
- Volunteer and CSER opportunities available.
- Best way to get involved is to email email@example.com.

Grow with Us
Students are invited to the Campus Garden to learn basic growing principles, including instruction in seeding, planting, weeding, and harvesting. Some of the produce harvested will be served in the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall.
Christian/Community Service credit will be offered to students who volunteer at the Campus Garden. This is also a great opportunity for students to serve the Lynchburg community by donating produce they have taken part in growing themselves.
The garden offers a meaningful opportunity for students to come together and invest in a project that will benefit the campus, the community, and the environment.

Code Execution Times: IA-32/IA-64 Instruction Set Architecture
The purpose of this document is to provide software developers with precise methods to measure the clock cycles required to execute specific C code in a Linux* environment running on a generic Intel architecture processor. These methods can be very useful in a CPU-benchmarking context, in a code-optimization context, and also in an OS-tuning context. In all these cases, the developer is interested in knowing exactly how many clock cycles are elapsed while executing code.
At the time of this writing, the best description of how to benchmark code execution can be found in Using the RDTSC Instruction for Performance Monitoring. Unfortunately, many problems were encountered while using this method. This paper describes the problems and proposes two separate solutions.
In this paper, all the results shown were obtained by running tests on a platform whose BIOS was optimized by removing every factor that could cause indeterminism. All power optimization, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, frequency scaling, and turbo mode functionalities were turned off.
The OS used was openSUSE* 11.2 (linux-220.127.116.11-0.1).

Listen Up! We Need to Strengthen Our Partnership
When I was a kid, I heard time and again that I wasn't a good listener.
"J.R. would have so much talent, if only he'd listen," teachers would write. "You never listen," my mom would say.
I can't recall when I started listening, but I reckon you have to be a bad listener, and that it has to be pointed out, before you can see the error of your ways. I guess as we grow older, and into professionals, it's a learned talent that continues to improve over time. Even mid-career, I continue to hone my listening skills. But one moment I can recall as pivotal to my listening journey is that my skills greatly improved once I became involved in the community and service engagement movement within higher education. To truly embrace reciprocity, one must be a good listener.
Today, when asked what is at the core of the work we do in this movement, I'd argue partnerships. Without this core component to our work none of us would be successful in moving community and campus engagement forward. What's most critical in a partnership? I'd argue listening. Much like any partnership we enter—such as marriage, friendship, or business—communication and listening are central themes to continued success.
Did you know Indiana Campus Compact can help you hone your listening skills with your community partners? One of our best kept secrets is that we provide dollars to help move these partnership discussions along.
Through the Listening to Communities grant program, your campus can apply to host a listening meeting to discuss ways in which the community and the campus could work better together while listening to your partners on what's going well and what could improve. Often times these are general service engagement partnership discussions, but the Listening to Communities meetings could be thematic. In the past, some communities and campuses have discussed affordable housing, while others have focused on economic development. Each partnership you have with your community through service engagement is unique, so it's deciding which ones need the immediate listening attention.
I invite you to work with me and use this spring as a chance to hone the most critical aspect of your community and campus partnerships—listening. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the end of March, so go ahead and apply today.

G-Loomis STR-1082S IMX 9′ 2 Pc. FREE SHIPPING!
A very sensitive, lightweight summer-run steelhead spinning rod, designed to fish 6 & 8-pound line and light sinkers in low, clear water conditions. It has a light, responsive tip with a soft mid-section that allows you to make delicate casts with small lures or bait to spooky fish. The butt-section is still powerful so you can handle large fish. While it is designed with light-line applications in mind, you can still fish ten pound line for some of the smaller salmon species, which makes it a nice option for low-water fall fishing.

text: Solution Secures Access to Privileged Accounts Within SQL Server 2012 Databases (Los Angeles, CA – April 17, 2012) – Lieberman Software Corporation announced today that its flagship privileged identity management solution, Enterprise Random Password Manager™ (ERPM), now supports SQL Server 2012. ERPM adds SQL Server 2012 support to the industry's most complete privileged identity management solution – covering all major operating systems, databases, business applications, network appliances and more. ERPM now automatically discovers SQL 2012 accounts in the database, and updates and propagates the credentials for these accounts everywhere they are used in the data center. It also provides the option to utilize SQL Server 2012 as a secure back-end for the encrypted storage of privileged passwords, with the ability to release these passwords to delegated users on demand. Without ERPM, these credentials typically remain unmanaged and can potentially lead to breaches of sensitive business data and violations of regulatory compliance requirements. Joint customers can leverage their existing deployments of SQL Server as the ERPM account store, or safely migrate to SQL Server 2012 in the future to receive the same capabilities."Our security-conscious customers understand the necessity of enforcing access control measures to protect their sensitive data," said Chris Stoneff, director of professional services at Lieberman Software. "Customers who deploy ERPM and perform privileged account discovery are often amazed by what they find. For organizations that want to learn where SQL Server accounts are being used within their enterprises, ERPM can provide this information on demand while ensuring that these accounts are properly tracked and secured." In addition to its SQL Server support, ERPM detects and secures privileged accounts present throughout the Microsoft ecosystem, including operating systems, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft ASP.NET, and Microsoft SharePoint. Lieberman Software is exhibiting this functionality in booth 509 at Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas this week. About Lieberman Software CorporationLieberman Software provides privileged identity management and security management solutions to more than 1000 customers worldwide, including 40 percent of the Fortune 50. By automatically discovering and managing privileged accounts throughout the network, Lieberman Software helps secure access to sensitive systems and data, thereby reducing internal and external security vulnerabilities, improving IT productivity and helping ensure regulatory compliance. The company developed the first solution for the privileged identity management space, and its products continue to lead the market in features and functionality. Lieberman Software is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA with an office in Austin, TX and channel partners throughout the world.

Business News
By editor
NPR's business news starts with allegations of price fixing on e-books.
The Justice Department is threatening to sue Apple and five major U.S. publishers for allegedly colluding to raise the price of digital books. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple persuaded publishers, including Harper Collins, Penguin and Simon and Schuster, to change how they price their e-books before the launch of the first iPad in 2010.
The report says Apple stipulated the publishers were not allowed to sell e-books to rival retailers for lower prices. So far there is no comment from the publishers, the Justice Department, or Apple. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Step 1: Materials
- BIC Mark-it fine permanent markers, 24 color pack. (around $13 at Wal-Mart)
You could also use Sharpies or other markers, so long as they are permanent, I just prefer the vibrancy of BIC markers
- Black Sharpie pen. (around $2 at Wal-Mart)
- Small-ish white rocks. (I got mine from a local beach, but you could probably buy them at a craft store such as Michaels)
- Krylon Triple-Thick Clear Glaze (optional)
Step 2: Wash Off Your Rocks
Rinse off your rocks in warm water to remove any dirt, sand, etc. Dry them off with a paper towel and let them sit for a few minutes to dry out entirely.
**Safety Note: Do NOT use a hair-dryer to dry your rocks after washing. Extreme heat can cause wet porous rocks to explode.
Step 3: Pick a Rock to Start Designing
Step 4: Create Personalities for Your Rock(s)
Step 5: Start Color Designs
Step 6: Add More Colors!
Step 7: Add Fine Details
Using your Sharpie pen, add small details- outlines, small dots and swirls.
Step 8: Seal Your Design (optional)
My friend and I made some on our lunch hour today. We haven't sprayed the coating on them yet - we only had clear nail polish at work and it just swirled the colors together. I may have to try a few different coatings to see what my markers can take.
