Don't mess with Texas: a geologic field trip to the Trans-Pecos
By Matthew Morriss
Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington
In order to better to understand the rocks, structures, and geologic history of southwestern Texas, Whitman College students spent half of a semester studying the geology of this part of the Basin and Range Province. Through this in-class research, students knew what to expect in West Texas; however, the time spent in the field was essential for a better understanding of the area's geology. The Proterozoic rocks in the region are remnants of island arcs and marine sediments which accreted to the southern margin of Laurentia during the Grenville Orogeny. Fossiliferous Cretaceous limestones represent the warm waters of the Western Interior Seaway. The Eocene-Oligocene (47-32 Ma) volcanics of the Trans-Pecos Magmatic Region are a unique assemblage of volcanics. In this remote, sparsely populated corner of Texas, extrusive rocks are spread over three distinct regions: the Davis Mountains, the Chisos Mountains (in Big Bend National Park), and the Bofecillos Mountains. The older volcanics are associated with the rapidly subducting Farallon plate, producing rhyolitic and trachytic lava flows and pyroclastics. The initiation of continental rifting in the late Oligocene resulted in continental rift-style basalts. In addition to geologic pursuits, the course included a naturalist perspective, as the Trans-Pecos is renowned for birding and ecological refugia.

Why would anyone take the Chris Weinke case to say anything about Peyton Manning?
As it happens, coincidence of coincidences, I just got done watching some old Weinke games just for the hell of it. He was never the thrower that Peyton Manning was. Manning could throw more crisp passes while sleep walking.
If I'm a concert pianist and I broke my hand, had to have surgery on it, are you going to predict that I'll be playing Stravinsky at Symphony Hall in no time because you're pretty good at playing Chopsticks, and you broke your hand and had the same surgery, and were back to playing Chopsticks again within the year? I'm supposed to find that reassuring?
Oh but I'm certain Chris Weinke assured Peyton very strongly that he will be throwing strong, crisp passes again in no time...just like the strong, crisp passes that Weinke (never) threw.
Twitter: @ckparrot
Manning is still recovering. He doesn't want to show how far he has come until it becomes necessary to get the maximum amount of strength and touch back. He is being smart about his situation, even if that creates the speculation by the self serving pundits.
The Indy local media are probably the most believable source at this point, but you have to wonder if the ownership has some influence over them considering they will access to the players(Luck) in the future.
All of this will be cleared up when Peyton begins visiting teams in a couple of weeks - months. He doesnt need the money, he is attempting a comeback for the love of the game.
Right now, I would take any report with a grain of salt.
The Pro Peyton people on this board are going to believe the positive reports and the anti are going to believe the negative reports; This is just going to go back and forth until free agency and into OTA's.

Mega Man 10 Review
Played on:
When I played Mega Man 10 at Capcoms CES game showcase back in January, the first thought that crossed my mind was how damned tough it was. It was a sentiment I shared with the Capcom folks, and undoubtedly one theyd been hearing all day. I knew the game wouldnt be easy, of course. I played Mega Man 9 when it came out, and countless other Mega Mans in the series (To this day, I havent beat Mega Man Xs 4-6). But, despite all that, its still a bit embarrassing when youre getting rocked (repeatedly) by a fiveish-minute long demo in front of some PR reps. Thats right, kidsMega Mans back, and, as usual, Capcom isnt pulling any punches. With all the games around these days that revel in hand-holding and making things easy on the player, MM10 continues the series tradition by mercilessly owning you at every turn.
The stage Capcom was demoing was Strike Mans, a stadium level thats actually one of the easier ones in the game. The most difficult part of Strike Mans domain is probably the mini-boss, a giant robot who likes to throw soccer balls and paralyze you with his hands, which, as you might imagine, is a challenge. There are also many other notable designs from MM10 that will kill you many times. Sandstorms that fly across Commando Mans level obscure platforming sections (as in everything is sand except Mega Man himself) and at times push you backwards or forwards into spikes, with your only recourse being to run in the opposite direction and hope youre not going to run off the platform. Nitro Man is hard enough to beat, even when using the mega buster hes weak against, but his level also has a number of timing challenges that force you to jump up and over fast moving, on-coming vehicles, while petulant little flying irritants shoot at you, throwing your timing off, and generally being very hard to kill. The games mini-bosses can be irritating, as in Strike Mans stage, to downright viciousalthough theres nothing quite as bad as, say, the mechanical elephants from Concrete Mans level in MM9. Of course, MM10s finale outdoes still itself, throwing enough challenge at you to test even the most seasoned gamer.
However, despite the series pedigree, Capcom has thrown the less hardcore types a bone, including an easy mode (for the first time!) for those who want to get a taste of the old-school design, just at a fraction of the would-be costbe it to your sanity, television or controller. Basically the game on easy is exactly how you would expect it to beenemies are slower and fewer in numbers (or changed altogether) and bosses arent nearly as difficult. There are also platforms above almost every deadly surface in the game (although not some where you might expect), making this mode a cakewalk. There are fewer instances of immediate death this time around and the level design does seem slightly less sadistic (whether or not this was so it would be easier to put platforms everywhere or not is unknown), but MM10, on normal at least, is still by no means easy. Memorization and patience are the key here, particularly when it comes to navigating some of the sections I outlined above, some of which youll need to play for hours before you can master the timing necessary to get through them without much trouble. And if you want to get your hands on the coveted (and might I add, completely insane) trophy (or achievement) awarded only to masochistic gamers who beat the game without getting hit? Good luck with thatI wonder if that awards been given out to anyone anywhere.
But, then again, thats what were all here for. You dont play a game like Mega Man 10 for fun in a typical senseyou play it to challenge yourself, as well as the game. Its the same reason people love Contra, or flocked to Demons Souls because they want to triumph over extreme cases of adversity. And in that regard, MM10 works very well. If youre into old school gamesand if youre not, youre probably not even reading this reviewyou will find yourself getting into the level design here, slowly making your way through each stage, besting all the little challenges you encounter until that proud moment you can make it all the way through to a boss encounter in one life, if youve been hit at all.
Rounding out the package, Capcom elected to include Proto Man, Mega Mans brother as a playable character from the get-go (rather than as DLC in the previous installment). Playing as Proto Man is also challenging, since he takes double the damage per hit as the blue bomber does, but he makes up for it by having a shield to deflect projectiles when jumping, the ability to charge his mega buster and slide, which can help with bosses (interestingly, beating the game with Proto Man wont yield a score on the games internet rankings). Still, its one more way you can get your struggle on. After all, the most hardcore challenges are the ones that are completely thankless.

Worcester, Mass. - The Holy Cross men's rowing program earned a spot in the national rankings this week, as the Men's Varsity Eight boat was ranked in the top-20 nationally in two polls.
The Crusaders are 16th in the U.S. Rowing Men's Varsity Eight Collegiate Coaches Poll, and 15th in the cMax30's Varsity Eight rankings.
"We are very excited about these rankings," said Men's Rowing Head Coach Tom Sullivan." It marks a major step forward for the program, and is a credit to the entire team."
The nine members of the boat (eight plus a coxswain) are: seniors Conor Devine (Orchard Park, N.Y.), Brian Mulligan (Andover, Mass.), and coxswain Nicholas Zinter (Buffalo, N.Y.), junior Bryce Ritzel (Easton, Conn.) and sophomores Jared Bennici (Marlborough, Mass.), Kevin Crowley (Brockton, Mass.) Dan Goulet (Watertown, Conn.), Albert Monte (Philadelphia, Pa.), and Rob Schwab (Athol, Mass.)
The boat most recently finished 4th in the Petite Finals of the EARC Championships held on Lake Quinsigimond. The Crusaders trailed only Navy (9th in the USRowing poll), Dartmouth (12th) and Cornell (13th).
The Crusader Varsity Eight also placed 3rd at the ECAC National Invitational Championship and 2nd at the New England Championships in recent weeks.

Okay, in my last post we made pizza dough, so now it's time to add toppings. The pizza Margherita is one of my favorite pizzas, as well as being an Italian classic.
Before we get started, a little history: in the late 1800s Queen Margherita, wife of Umberto I, became quite taken with a bread that was commonly made by Italian peasants. Since it was not considered very "Queenly" of her to like such a common peasant food, she asked one of her chefs to prepare her pizza using this bread that she liked so much. The chef, Rafaelle Esposito, devised a pizza topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil, the colors symbolizing the Italian flag. Queen Margherita absolutely fell in love with this delicious concoction, and the rest is history.
Queen Margherita was definitely my kind of woman, and this has long been one of my favorite pizzas. Now, the key to great taste when you're making such a simple pizza is having high-quality ingredients. So please, I'm begging you, only use FRESH mozzarella to make this pizza! I can't emphasize enough the difference that it makes. If it was good enough for the Queen of Italy, then it's probably good enough for you too.
Pizza Margherita
Pizza dough, homemade or store bought
1 can (15oz) whole steamed tomatoes, drained.
12-16oz fresh mozzarella cheese
Handful of basil, chopped
Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees. Roll the pizza dough out to roughly ¼ inch thickness. Transfer onto baking sheet or pizza stone.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into thin slices and distribute evenly on the pizza dough. Using your fingers, break apart the tomatoes and scatter them on the dough. Drizzle olive oil along the crust of the pizza, and then sprinkle with the basil. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to turn brown.

I love Pizza, though I'd rather have it in Italy…than in my kitchen. Too many sour experiences. Forgive me. Though the new rave of Grill pizzas may send me back to the drawing board, it won't be anytime soon. I'll just salivate over your piccies and long for the day when….

BRYAN -- The Bryan football team will close out their season Friday night against College Park at Merrill Green Stadium. The Vikings enter the game 2-7 on the season and 1-4 in district 14-5A play. The Cavaliers are 4-5 and 1-4 in district 14-5A play.
College Park needs a win over Bryan and a Conroe loss to Lufkin along with an Oak Ridge loss to The Woodlands to make the playoffs. Viking head coach Ross Rogers says the Cavaliers do play hard. "They took Consolidated to overtime. They played the Woodlands last weekend, played very hard and had chances and opportunities of course The Woodlands is a little stronger team." Rogers also said, "They are playing well and playing for a chance to go play Westfield in the first round and if we beat them the Conroe gets to go."
Bryan and College Park will kick-off at 7:30 Friday night. You can find out who won the game on Taco Bell's Friday Football Fever at 11:35pm on KBTX.

Mp3 only? (10/3/2011 6:08:52 PM)
Why is this available as mp3 only/I can painfully hear the limits of mp3, and the songs on this album are impressive to the point that I am interested in getting a higher quality download of this one.From live material I've heard, these are some of the best songs Trey has written in years. He had a definite vision for his art at that time, and the CD really seems to work. I wonder how the greater release might sound.Can you get a better quality download from itunes?
Bosco 057 (3/11/2011 9:00:07 AM)
O.K., I know I'm super late on this but after reading these other posts I just couldn't help myself. Everyone that liked this album has left me scratching my head. Over all I find this album to be an over produced, under written effort at Trey proving to himself that he is o.k. without Phish. It comes off as self absorbed and on the whole I consider it tripe and I have been a HUGE Trey fan for over 15 years! Did anyone read that relix article where he throws Page under the bus? Now that I have written this, of course, Phish is back together and as good as ever and Trey is lookin' and soundin like himself again. I just can't escape the fact that this record will always remind me of darker days. Thanks for comin' back to us Trey, we missed ya! I would also like to say that Come as Melody is the lone shining light on this record. It may be the best tune Trey has written for his solo band. Wish phish would try it. Sorry to sound like a bitter old man.
Spartacus (5/22/2007 6:44:05 AM)
The last post was the gayest thing I have ever read in my life...No wonder Phish is gone, these post hiatus, scenester, 12 year old kids like BOUNCIN JAMZ contributed to the "Scene" aspect of Phish`s demise. Go to an OAR show u kook.
bouncin jamz (9/15/2006 10:03:04 PM)
This is the best phish jam since bouncin` my favorite song is Love is Freedom that tune is so heady I love the part where he talkes about Love is Freedom and plays those chords I`m glad phish is still together this is probably there best studio album yet
BobB (9/5/2006 8:21:32 AM)
It`s very hard for me to objectively review this album, as good as it is. The fact remains that it was Trey that effectively ended one of the greatest bands of all time, and I have a hard time forgiving him for that. We all know that Page, Mike and Jon would have, and wanted to, continue. I appreciate that Trey is trying to branch out, express his creativity, try new sounds. Most of the time, it succeeds here. It IS good stuff, especially `Mr. Completely` and Trey`s daughter`s composition, `Goodbye Head`, is charming. But Trey could have done stuff like this and STILL continued on with Phish, and I just cannot bring myself to catch one of his solo shows knowing that Phish could still be out there tearing up the stage. Call it a boycott, if you will. Oh well...some of you may feel differently, and some may even appreciate that Trey has moved on. Myself, I still feel very hurt by the whole thing and the promise of what could have been.
glenn (2/24/2006 11:08:20 AM)
I haven`t heard this yet, but loved Alive Again so I`ll get this, listen and post my review later
Tom (1/24/2006 12:39:27 AM)
Keep rocking on Trey. Don`t let anyone turn you of course. Everything happens for a reason. The new album is more inspirational to me than any new music I have heard in a long time, so something is working for you. Thank you and keep it up. Thank you so much!! Tom
Tom (1/24/2006 12:30:33 AM)
I think Trey poured his heart and soul into this album. It`s the most emotional writing I have heard from him in a long time. My first listen I wasn`t to sure, but if you need to listen to what he is saying. He is laying the last twenty years of his life on line line and saying fuck it. I admire him for the album and have more respect for him now than before, and trust me I respected him before. All the more power to you my friend!! Bring back Phish in about 15 years under the name Pillow Fight. Who would go see a band with four dudes named Pillow Fight. Nice and low key. I`m just having fun. Thanks for everything.

Delicious! This is a 'must try' recipe for all of you who have a sweet tooth. I'd like to make a version with white chocolate and see if it tastes like a Zero candy bar (my favorite).
Thankyou Saundra for the recipe!

Candy is hard to make but worth it! Taste great!
These were yummy. I think they would be a ton better with home made carmel. I wish the nouget was a little heavier but over all, they were yummy!
I used pistachios instead of almonds which were great. Still the candy texture just wasn't quite what I was expecting. Flavor was okay though, but probably won't make again. Sorry

MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued a formal opinion today stating that state statutory financial responsibility requirements and state statutory continuing education requirements for one and two family dwelling construction contractors preclude municipalities from imposing greater financial responsibility, education, or examination requirements upon such contractors.
In response to a request from Juneau County Corporation Counsel MarkB.Hazelbaker, Van Hollen's opinion first notes that the Dwelling Code's primary purpose is to promote statewide uniformity. The opinion states that the Dwelling Code expressly creates state requirements relating to the financial responsibility and education of dwelling contractors.
Van Hollen also noted that the contractor certification council created by the Legislature under section 15.157(5) of the Wisconsin Statutes is required by section 101.625 of the Wisconsin Statutes to make recommendations and provide advice to the Department of Commerce concerning (1) rules for certifying the financial responsibility of such contractors; (2) suitable courses for such contractors; and (3) the development of course examinations for such contractors.
Van Hollen emphasized that municipalities' jurisdiction over the construction and inspection of dwellings must meet the requirements of the state Dwelling Code, which specifically impose requirements relating to education and financial responsibility. Thus, the opinion concludes that "ordinances requiring local licensure are preempted if they impose on persons seeking a building permit for one- or 2-family dwellings greater financial responsibility, education, or examination requirements than required by state law."

Ξ Chili's becomes the first casual-dining chain to do a "better burgers" upgrade twice when it introduces new Handmade Burgers this week. The three new burgers—Rojo (with barbecue sauce), Avocado and Ultimate Stacked—join the menu beginning at just $5.99.
Hand-Made Burgers come to Chili's less than six months after the chain unveiled a new menu that included a line of "better than ever" Big Mouth Burgers priced from $6.89 to $9.39 (prices may vary). However, the new menu and better burgers didn't reverse Chili's red ink: For the 13 weeks ended March 24, 2010, Chili's same-store sales were down 5%, largely due to a 4.8% slide in customer counts.
Now the chain is lowering prices as well as improving quality and overall appeal. In other words, all the "recession is over" talk is premature until consumers show they're no longer price-shopping.
Ξ When is a melt not a melt? When it's toasted, apparently. Checkers/Rally's this week has introduced yet another new sandwich line, the Toasted Trio. Like the Melts line that Checkers introduced in April, the three new sandwiches sport toasted sourdough bread in place of buns but these aren't labeled "melts." They're sort of a cross between melts and Jack in the Box's Grilled Sandwiches.
The varieties are the Toasted Cheese Double Cheese burger (with two slices of American cheese, diced onion, dill pickles, ketchup and mustard); a Toasted BLT (with four peppered-bacon strips); and Toasted BBQ Spicy Chicken.
Like Chili's, Checkers is discounting as well as innovating. The Toasted Trio sandwiches are 2 for $3, compared with the 2 for $4 Melts. Watch the TV commercial for the Toasted Trio here. Meanwhile Checkers/Rally's also is testing its six-item Flavor Built Burgers line in Florida.
Ξ Ruby Tuesday is no stranger to the better-burgers idea, having introduced its new-and-improved Handcrafted Burgers line last year. Now it's focusing on building its bar business to increase customer counts. One tactic it's using is to knock $2 off the price of any Bar Bite or appetizer between 4 pm and 6 pm and again from 9 pm to closing.
Bar Bites include Double Ruby Mini burgers (priced at $7.99 to $8.49, depending on location), three mini fish tacos ($7.99 to $8.49) and a new "Big Adventurous Burger" ($8.99 to $9.49). The 12-ounce burger is topped with aged New York Cheddar. With the $2 discount reducing the price to $6.99 to $7.49, the BAB (at right) is larger and less expensive than the dining-room menu's Handcrafted Burgers, making it an appealing deal.
Ξ Culver's has never much been one for spicy foods, but that's changed this week with the 3 Pepper Chipotle ButterBurger (and chicken version). Jalapeño slices, chipotle-spiced mayo and habanero-spiced cheese account for the three peppers. On the side: Chipotle Cheese Curds. Oh yeah.
The chain also has launched a recipe contest, the Ultimate ButterBurger Build Off. If your submitted idea for the next big ButterBurger wins, you'll get an all-expenses-paid trip to hang out in Culver's test kitchens in Sauk City, Wis. Voting ends June 30. Tell me you haven't been wanting to go.

The Dreaded Two-Goal Lead is an infrequent PITB feature used specifically to recover quickly after falling behind. What's with the name? Well, as you no doubt know, a two-goal lead – often called "the worst lead in hockey" – is super easy to come back from. Similarly, while Canucks' news comes fast and furious, and sometimes (say, in the summer, when we're busy resting on our laurels) we find ourselves playing catchup, this feature allows us to catch up almost effortlessly.Continue Reading —›
A weird thing happened over the weekend: Don Cherry, that great defender of toughness in hockey, actually called the Canucks tough. I'm not joking. It actually happened.
The main (and only) reason that this is significant is that Cherry is the king of the surface-level observation. He seems to look at something once, get an impression, and immediately have a take. If Cherry's first impression is that the Canucks are a tougher team and that "Boston's not going to push them around any more" that is a positive for the Canucks, because that means that other teams are getting that same impression. If "toughness" and "Canucks" can be put together in people's minds more often, that can only benefit the team.Continue Reading —›
A little over two weeks ago, when Steven Pinizzotto's season-ending shoulder surgery was announced, we posited the following theory: to be the thirteenth forward in Vancouver was to be cursed.
All the signs pointed to a curse. Pinizzotto wasn't the only depth forward to go down: Andrew Ebbett and Byron Bitz had also fallen prey to injury troubles that would keep them out indefinitely. Additionally, the forwards for the Canucks' farm team in Chicago were all playing miserably to start the year. The Canucks found themselves with no options but to carry only 12 forwards, just as the curse wanted.
And for two weeks, that's exactly what they did, and — shock of shocks — there were absolutely no problems. But then Mason Raymond declared himself ready to play, Vancouver found themselves in possession of 13 healthy guys, and the curse once again reared its ugly head: the Canucks announced Saturday that Aaron Volpatti is done for the season after tearing his shoulder labrum late in Thursday's game versus Nashville. There goes another one.Continue Reading —›
Fans of fighting often argue that fights can turn the tide of a game or give energy to a team that's playing with lethargy, and, while I've always found this to be a silly argument, it's important to note what happened during the first two minutes of Staubitz and Volpatti's major penalties: the Wild finally broke through on Cory Schneider, scoring twice and turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. They never looked back.Continue Reading —›

April 2, 2011
HONOLULU, Hawai'i - Cal State Northridge wrapped up its two-match road swing at ninth-ranked Hawai'i with a disappointing straight set loss (25-19, 25-23, 25-19) as Matt Stork and Tanner Nua each had 12 kills in the loss.
The Matadors (6-20, 4-15 MPSF) are now winless in Honolulu since the 2003 season, a span of nine matches. Northridge won the opening set on Friday but then dropped the ensuing six sets to finish 0-4 on the road trip.
Nua (.286) and Stork (.435) each had 12 kills to lead the Matadors who hit .333 as a team. No other CSUN hitter registered more than four kills. For the second night in a row, the Matadors had trouble containing the Warrior attack as Hawai'i hit a blistering .543.
CSUN trailed by one 16-15 in the opening set before Nejc Zemljak's ace capped a 3-0 Hawai'i run forcing CSUN into its second timeout. Stork's ensuing attack went long and Walker then followed with a pair of kills giving the Warriors their largest lead at 22-15. A sideout and a Stork kill pulled CSUN within 22-17 but the Matadors would get no closer falling 25-19. Nua had four kills and hit .571 as CSUN hit .367 in the opening frame.
After trailing by as many as four points (11-7) in the second set, the Matadors crept within two at 12-10 following a Nua ace. The Matadors were within one at 18-17 when Jonas Umlauft put down a kill to keep the Warriors up by two at 19-17. Northridge eventaully knotted the score at 19-19 following a Cory Wagner kill and a Stork-Greg Faulkner block. After Hawai'i claimed three of the next four points, a Warrior service error and a Danny Rodrick ace again pulled the Matadors even at 22-22. Another Umlauft kill gave Hawai'i their first set point at 24-23 and after the Warriors dug Nua, Joshua Walker put Hawai'i up two sets with the 25-23 win.
The third and final set was tied six times, the last at 15-15 before the Warriors received kills from Walker and Zemljak combined with a Sam Biscaro ace to open up an 18-15 lead. Stork's kill kept the Matadors within striking distance at 18-16 but consecutive Hawai'i points put CSUN in a four-point hole (20-16). The Warrior lead was six at 23-17 and Hawai'i kept the six-point margin winning by a final of 25-19.
Umlauft led the Warriors with 21 kills (.528) while Walker added 20 kills while hitting .704.
Cal State Northridge returns to The Matadome for its final two home matches of the 2011 season next week as the Matadors host UC San Diego on Apr. 7 and UC Irvine on Apr. 9.

Contributed Cataloging Section
1999/2000 Annual Report
The Contributed Cataloging Section participated fully in the work of the department as evidenced by increases in original cataloging output, cooperative program submissions, and arrearage reduction. Under Jimmie's leadership, we engaged in statewide discussions regarding cataloging access to locally digitized collections and helped to generate library wide consideration and membership in CORC. We completed a thorough review of our uncataloged inventory through consultation with collection managers throughout the library. We provided significant cataloging support for the Victorian theology pamphlet and USAIN grants and supported efforts to apply for new grant opportunities. In spite of changes in section management and renovation woes, we were able to accomplish much work and maintain a cooperative spirit. 2/3 of eligible section staff joined RS Assessment Working Groups. 4 served as facilitators of their groups. Included below is a list of all committee work, which shows the variety of assignments and participation at the local, state, and national levels.

Keeneland Fall Meet Posts Gains
Keeneland concluded its 17-day fall race meet Oct. 30 with gains in on-track handle and attendance. Track officials attributed the increases to good weather, competitive racing, and momentum from the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
Total on-track attendance of 229,909 marked a 19.61 percent increase over 2009, and an average daily attendance of 13,524 compared to 11,307 last fall. The combined 2010 attendance of 468,191 (238,282 in the spring; 229,909 in the fall) represents a continuing upswing in on-track attendance, with the top three annual attendance totals having been set since 2006.
Wagering benefitted from a strong average field size—9.91 starters per race overall with 9.95 on the main track and 9.76 on the turf course.
"We're very pleased with the fall meeting," director of racing Rogers Beasley said. "We've got one of the best field sizes in the country; we had great Breeders' Cup prep races; and we had jockeys and trainers competing here who are the best in the country."
Keeneland's signature FallStars Weekend produced a number of Breeders' Cup World Championships pre-entries, including two-time Eclipse Award winner Gio Ponti, who captured the $600,000 Shadwell Turf Mile (gr. I) in preparation for either the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I) or Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I); Proviso (GB), winner of the $400,000 Abu Dhabi First Lady (gr. I) who will run in the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I); J. B.'s Thunder, a contender for the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) who captured the $400,000 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity (gr. I), and Acoma, who won the $500,000 Juddmonte Spinster (gr. I) before heading to the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic (gr. I).
"We are thrilled with this fall meeting," said Nick Nicholson, president and CEO of Keeneland. "We enjoyed a month of near-perfect weather; strong on-track attendance; full fields; the best jockeys in the world; three home football games for the University of Kentucky; and momentum from the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games leading into our meet. This race meet got all the breaks and these factors together contributed to a successful race meeting."
The race for leading trainer honors went down to the final day, with Lexingtonian Kenny McPeek earning top honors with 10 wins, including the $100,000 Bourbon Stakes (gr. III) with Rogue Romance and the $150,000 JPMorgan Chase Jessamine with Kathmanblu for his second straight fall meet title. Wayne Catalano finished second with nine wins.
"It's a great thing to win a title anywhere, but Keeneland is special," Leparoux said. "It's a short meet so it's tough to win it, and we had good mounts all meet so that was good."
In addition to winning the owner's title, Strawbridge earned a gold tray Oct. 22 as part of Keeneland's gold trophy program to recognize owners when Augustin's Fugitive Angel won the Pin Oak Valley View (gr. III) for its eighth graded stakes victory at the track.
On-track wagering on live racing totaled $18,857,350, up 8.77 percent from last year's total of $17,337,249. Combined on-track and off-track wagering on Keeneland totaled $120,859,773, a slight decrease of 1.35% from $122,525,256 in the fall 2009. Average daily all-sources handle on Keeneland was $7,109,398 compared to $7,207,368 last year.

Joy of singing: Durham Children's Choir marks 10th anniversary
After putting her choir through those paces familiar to anyone who has ever sung in a group – scales, vocalizations, diction exercises – Scott Hill works on musicianship with members of the Durham Children's Choir. Rehearsing a piece titled "Jabberwocky" by composer David Brunner, Hill tells her students to sing a passage "forte, but not screeching."
This particular piece also has some choreography (also called "choralography"), that Edie Sanders helps to coach at this rehearsal. When the students reach a difficult rhythmic passage, Hill stresses that the lyric and movement must be "on the same beat."
For 10 years, Hill has been teaching students in third through ninth grades the choral music of composers ranging from Franz Schubert, Irving Berlin, to contemporary composers like Tom Shelton and Will Todd, both of whom have written original works for the Durham Children's Choir.
Hill founded the choir 10 years ago and has been its director. At a 10th anniversary concert Sunday, Hill will hand off that leadership to Dena Byers, associate director, and conduct her last concert for the choir.
Hill retired after teaching choral music for 30 years in the Durham Public Schools, and then founded the Durham Children's Choir. "When I retired I was really exhausted from teaching five classes a day and having about 250 kids a day, but I didn't want to quit working with children and teaching children," Hill said. While Durham has a well-established boys' choir, there was not a choir for children, and Hill "wanted to have a place where all children can come and sing. I love teaching them the joy of singing."
Since its founding, the choir has sung concerts in Durham's sister cities of Toyama, Japan, and Durham, England, and sung with guest artists like Bobby McFerrin and the Kronos Quartet.
The choir's repertoire over the decade has grown to 250 pieces. At Sunday's concert, the choir will perform popular and classical works, and a new composition that Tom Shelton, of Westminster Choir College in New Jersey, has composed for the choir titled "Luminescence." Hill wanted to have a commissioned piece for the anniversary concert and Shelton "was our unanimous choice," she said. He had previously written a composition marking her retirement from teaching. When he agreed to write the composition, Shelton said he would like to set words written by a choir member. Naomi Wagner wrote a poem and sent it to Shelton, who was so impressed that he asked Wagner to add to the poem.
The choir does a run-through of the piece at rehearsal. "Luminescence" has challenging changes in tempo and meters, but the choir caught on quickly to Shelton's composition. "Children feel meter changes a lot better than we do," Byers said. "That's the joy of working with children," Hill said of the piece. "You teach something with passion and beauty and joy, and they accept it and make it their own rather rapidly."
Ukiah Barnes, 14, who has sung in the choir for two years, welcomes a more difficult piece. "Everything is a challenge," she said. "I'm a person who likes to challenge myself, which is what I like about this choir." Singing in the choir also gives students musical opportunities they might not otherwise have, said Eliza Stewart, 13, such as singing at Duke Chapel and working with chapel music director Rodney Wynkoop, she said.
Emily Turkington and Christopher Camitta, both 15 and about to age out of the choir, said the group has given them a sense of community. Turkington said she likely will continue to be an assistant to the new choir director.
During her career as a teacher, Hill has seen former students continue in music careers. She has a former student who graduated from New England Conservatory, and one in a touring show of "Porgy and Bess." And she hopes that students who are not in music are passing on the love of music to their children.
Hill directs a choir at The Forest at Duke retirement community, and recently began a choir at Croasdaile Village retirement community, and will continue directing those groups. "The human voice is the first instrument you make music with," Hill said. "With the voice your own body is your instrument, and there's unbelievable joy in that."

wooowww Thirs really make ut the black brick
thank you so much, if i can ill give you a kiss jja XD
i t sounds so gay but it dosnt matter i have my wii back again thank you!
THANK YOU, following your instruction, works perfectly, save my wii.
HI just wondered if this guide is for me before i start.
ive a 4.1e softmoded wii ive bootmii installed i also did a nand backup when i first installed the software. i have priiloader install 2.9 i think but not sure.
last night i changed my system theme with mymenuify and now have a message on screen saying my system files are courupt. had no probs with this before.
tried to boot to hbc through priiloader and its saying hbc is not installed...
i tried to restore with my nand back up and its saying that the back up is from a different wii. now i know for sure this is the right one for my wii.
so now im not sure what to do.
can some one help??
when i turn on my wii with the files all in the wad manager doesnt pop up
i have system menu 4.1u
Hi everybody,
I'm new here, and you know what ? I bricked my wii...
Sorry for my very bad english, i will try explain my problem with simple words.
I was in 4.2E and tried to install CiosCorp with a package called Corp Online from a french team. It crashed when installing Cios 17.
Now, i just can have bootmii loading, but he can't launch HBC (black screen) or homebrew from SD (Load failed).
Bootmii give me this informations :
unknown boot1b boot 2v3
FS Usage : 3.3%
I tried to use cboot2 with wadmanager 1.5 and 1.4, and with package for 4.1 (didnt see any package for 4.2), but it always says the same things on screen :
"cBoot2 DOL loader v16
IOS Version 2 v16 0x00020010
Failed to load IOS." <== in red
My wiimote can turn wii on, so no bluetooth problem.
My SD is a 4go SDHC (i know it's bad, but i have nothing else, but if it is the prob, i will buy a new one ).
Where is the problem ? Any pro here to help me ?
Can i fix it with cBoot2 ?
If not, can i fix it with a Modified Nand dump from my friend, as explained in some other place ?
Please, help me or my wife will kill me. It's a present i got for christmas... and 2 months later i broke it
Looks like you may have formatted the nand some how, & it cant find an ios to load,
Try loading to bootmii & browsing the SD menu for wad manager from the app folder or the bootmii installer & reinstall HBC only you may need to use loadmii if the SD broswer fails to load.
if it fails there may be another way I aint an expert but it may have to use comex format, but wait for others to reply with expert opinions.
If that fails, backup and format your card with this tool. Extract 3.1e-formater.zip to the sd-card, copy your bootmii folder to the sd-card. Load bootmii, goto sd menu, load format.elf
If it crashed on any file, delete the problem file and try try try again.
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
Hi all,
i finally restored my nand with one of my friends who was in 4.1 with boot2v2.
I made him upgrade to 4.2E, so his boot2 became boot2v4 and was now compatible with mine...
I changed his Nand with "Auto nand" (same that edit with hexa etc... but automatic !)
Everything was fine, even if he had lots of bad blocks (9 for him, 4 for me)...
My wii could start !
Then, i tried to hack it again... because the aim was to update my hack to get all game functionning with usbloaders...
It sucked during update. Bricked again...
No prob, i restored my nand again, and tried another homebrew to update my hack : Pimp My Wii.
I first checked my system, everything was missing -> normal i just restored...
I launch "check and repare" (or something like that), it started installing IOS, some with kinds of error (Ez_authority failed ? don't remember) then it finished.
I tried the "check" option again to see if my system was ok, but it froze, saying "Old IOS found (at least 28), reload IOS 36".
I reboot my wii, and thought i will have to restore again, but now my bootmii doesn't even start !!!
Black screen, and i can't do anything else ! OMG !!
Is that possible that pimp my wii broke my boot2 ?
Maybe something else happened. After restoring my Nand for the second time, i set my wifi parameters, and wii asked me if i wanted to update.
I already was in 4.2E, so i answered "Yes", thinking it won't do anything. And i was true, update tooks 1 second and finished.
But i know 4.2 update normally remove bootmii from boot2.
Do you think, although it did nothing, it removed my bootmii ?
I didn't verify before launching pimp my wii
Now what can i do ? I have a D2Pro with wii clip in my wii. Maybe savemiifree will save me ?
Any ideas ?
Thx all !
You know you can run ANY program through this, right? That includes dop-ios mod.

BOSTON – The University of New Hampshire men's hockey team netted back-to-back goals early in the third period to force overtime, but it would not be enough, as the Wildcats fell to rival Maine, 5-4, in the 2012 Sunlife Frozen Fenway on Saturday night at Fenway Park.
New Hampshire moves to 6-11-2 with a 4-8-1 mark in Hockey East, while Maine improves to 10-7-2 overall and 6-7-1 in league play. The game was played in front of a UNH program record crowd of 38,456. Earlier in the day, UMass captured a 3-2 overtime win over UVM in the first game of the doubleheader.
After sophomore Kevin Goumas (Long Beach, N.Y.) and freshman Grayson Downing (Abbottsford, British Columbia) posted consecutive goals in the span of 1:33 to pull UNH even at 4-4 and eventually force overtime, Maine's Brian Flynn scored at 1:29 in extra time, deflecting a pass by Joey Diamond to lift the Black Bears to victory.
Freshman Casey DeSmith (Rochester, N.H.) stopped 28 shots in net for UNH, while Dan Sullivan posted 20 saves for the Black Bears. Goumas led UNH with a pair of tallies in the contest.
UNH struck just 1:05 into the contest as John Henrion (Holden, Mass.) scored on the rebound of a Downing backhanded. Jeff Silengo (Madison, Conn.) also assisted on the goal. The Black Bears answered with a power play goal at 4:10 as Mark Anthoine scored with an assist from Kyle Beattie. Maine held a 10-7 shot edge and went 1-1 on the power play, while UNH was 0-2 in the man advantage.
Despite a 5-on-3 advantage by Maine midway through the second period, New Hampshire reclaimed the lead at 11:27 as Goumas picked off a pass in Black Bear territory and scored a shorthanded goal in right side of the net, pushing the Wildcats on top, 2-1.
UNH's lead did not last long, however, as Maine netted back-to-back power play goals over the next 50 seconds. Joey Diamond scored first at 11:44, assisted by Spencer Abbott and Will O'Neill, while Anthoine posted his second tally of the contest less than a minute later at 12:34. Shemansky and Kyle Beattie were credited with assists on the second goal.
Maine added another goal 13 seconds into the third stanza as Diamond netted his second of the game, giving the Black Bears the 4-2 lead.
Facing a two-goal deficit early in the third frame, New Hampshire responded with a pair of goals over the next 4:20 of action, scoring consecutive goals in the span of 1:33. Goumas began the rally at 3:00 with his second tally of the game as he fielded a backhanded pass by senior Stevie Moses (Leominster, Mass.) and hit the timely shot to trim the lead to one at 4-3. Freshman Trevor van Riemsdyk (Middletown, N.J.) was also credited with an assist on the play.
UNH kept up the attack with another goal at 4:33 as Downing deflected in a shot by Silengo to even up the score at 4-4.
The teams then skated into overtime as UNH held a 13-8 shot advantage in the third period.
Flynn went on to score his 11th goal of the season in overtime, flipping in Diamond's pass for the win, while Abbott earned a helper on the play.
UNH returns to action on Wednesday, Jan. 11 when it travels to Hockey East foe Providence College (7 p.m.). The Wildcats will play in-state rival Dartmouth College on Saturday, Jan. 14 (7 p.m.) at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester and their next home game is Saturday, Jan. 21 against Merrimack College. Tickets to the Dartmouth and Merrimack games are available online at www.UNHWildcats.com.

LAKE GEORGE - Citing the frustration of a high property tax burden, ongoing state legislative gridlock and excessive state spending and mandates, the village board has officially joined a movement demanding a state Constitutional Convention to reform the state's political process.
The Board approved a resolution of support Monday for the People's Convention to Reform New York Act - an initiative of state Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb - to call a Constitutional Convention and enact measures such as caps pm state spending and property taxes, restrictions on unfunded mandates and debt reform.
Such a state Constitutional Convention, under the existing state laws, can only be called once every 20 years.
If the Kolb bill passes, the state's citizenry would vote on whether to call the convention this November. Voters would then go to the polls and elect regional delegates in 2011.
Kolb's People's Convention Act is calling for the entire state Constitution to be reopened and for a gathering of grassroots citizen delegates to gather and attempt to find solutions to the many problems in Albany.
"Quite frankly, people across the state are fed up that the institutions are not fixing the problems," said Brian Kolb (R-Canandaigua). "This will at least give an opportunity for the people to have a say aside from the institutional powers that currently exist."
Politicians and lobbyists would be excluded from serving as Convention delegates, unless they gave up their posts first, Kolb said.
"We are trying to make this as non-partisan and non-political as possible."
If the Kolb bill passes, the state's citizenry would vote on whether to call the convention this November. Voters would then go to the polls and elect regional delegates in 2011.
According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, 72 percent of New Yorkers are fed up with recurring gridlock in the state legislature.

Michael Powers - Graduate Student
German Studies
Michael Powers is a Ph.D. candidate and currently working on his dissertation project, which investigates moments and practices of visual dis-figuration in the writings of Walter Benjamin. His interest in the relation between Benjamin's visual aesthetics and that of writers such as Kant, Kleist, Marx and Kafka, derives from a larger interest in the history of aesthetics in modernity.
Michael's diverse academic interests include critical theory, visual studies (especially photography), 18th century Gartenkunst, concepts of play, early German Romanticism, and in particular the writings of Walter Benjamin, Immanuel Kant, Franz Kafka and Martin Heidegger. At Brown, Michael has been a member of several graduate student groups, including: the Mellon Graduate Workshop "Photography: Beyond the Visual" (2009-2010), and the GICG sponsored colloquium series "Detours, Deviations and Digressions" (2012-2013), of which he is a co-organizer. He is also currently co-organizing a conference on the notion of the "Umweg" in German thought and literature.
Michael first joined the Ph.D. program at Brown in 2008. He received his B.A. in German Studies from Florida's honors college, New College of Florida, in 2007. His senior thesis was entitled: "Experience over Reason: Werner Herzog's Kaspar Hauser." Before coming to Brown, he spent a year in Leipzig with the Fulbright Exchange teaching English language, culture and literature at a Gymnasium. In the summer of 2011, he attended the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell and he spent the 2011-2012 academic year in Berlin on a DAAD Research grant working on his dissertation project.

Ready U session to introduce vegetable gardening basicsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
For those interested in starting a vegetable garden but not sure where to begin, a good place to start might be the Ready U presentation on Feb. 13.
"From Plant to Plate: Planning Your Victory Garden" will introduce basic vegetable gardening techniques for the backyard, community or container gardener.
The free, hour-long session will start at 7 p.m. at The Andersons Activity Room, 1833 S. Holland-Sylvania Road in Maumee. Presenters will be Extension Educator Amy Stone and Program Assistant Patrice Powers-Barker of the Ohio State University Extension office in Lucas County, which developed the presentation. Kristin Emery of 13abc will host.
Ready U, a yearlong series presented by the Red Cross of Greater Toledo and the Lucas County Emergency Management Agency, is designed to educate the public and prepare individuals and families for potential emergencies in Northwest Ohio.
There are many reasons to grow your own vegetables, including for enjoyment, to save money on groceries and to introduce more vegetable variety to your diet, Powers-Barker said.
"A lot of people are interested in vegetable gardening, but don't always know where to start," Powers-Barker said. "We think it's great people want to do vegetable gardening and we want them to be successful."
The presentation is designed to inform and inspire gardeners of all skill levels, focusing on easy-to-grow, economical, edible plants, Powers-Barker said. It will cover everything from choosing seeds or transplants to harvesting your produce to washing, preserving and preparing simple, tasty, healthy recipes.
"People who have attended have said, 'I never really thought about that,' or 'That's a great idea,'" Powers-Barker said. "We really want to focus on helping people to decide for themselves what would make the most sense for them to grow, depending on space, interest or their taste, as well as letting them know about the resources in the area for help as they get started and for all the steps along the way."
One resource is the Extension's horticulture hotline, staffed 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. At other times, callers can leave a message that will be returned. The number is (419) 578-6783.
The Toledo Botanical Garden's annual seed swap is another good way to get advice and get started, Emery said. This year's event will be noon-3 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Erie Street Market, 237 S. Erie St.
Emery, who also hosted last year's Ready U session on victory gardens, said the event was well-attended by beginners and experts.
"Community gardening and urban gardening are really catching on," Emery said. "If you can grow your own, why spend all that money buying organic pre-cut produce?"
Powers-Barker said she hopes people come away from the presentation excited for the upcoming growing season and armed with the information and resources they need to turn their ideas into reality.
Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor for the Ready U program.
Ready U kits containing emergency preparedness materials as well as smoke detectors will be given to the first 50 attendees, said Red Cross Communications Officer Jason Copsey. For more information, visit ready-u.com.

How profound!! Another great statement from one the USA's top 100.
So sad that one will have to leave. Don't worry though they have set it up that there 16 yes 16 years of service equals a very nice pension. Besides they war chest they built up. If I have it right they can keep that too. All the other government agencies have to clean house and tighten belts. It's time for term limits
What could possibly cause her to be the scapegoat? Is he a puppet? When he went to the burning building, was it because of Ms Torres? I HAD respect for the Mayor of Newark but not anymore. Just another gutless politician that can't stand on his own.
This is getting ridiculous now. After reading all the press about this escort. People were suspended and I believe still are. There was an article about many transfers because of this escort. Now the almighty politicians need to get involved. Apparently, a bad decision was made and a price is being paid. I realize it was dangerous but no one died, enough already. Of course I don't qualify for one of these escorts but you all sound jealous and envious. If it was one of your friends or relative that was in the jackpot because of this bad decision you wouldn't being writing the same garbage. Get over it
It is time to merge the jail and the county police departments. Be careful what you ask for Demarest you just might get it. Get rid of the outside service watching the parks, trim the bcpd by 75 percent and merge the rest with the jail and watch the parks. The smaller towns should merge around each other. Taxes are to high, pay what we have too and as they retire (if they show up for work) continue to downsize.

To Be a Friend Is Fatal: The Fight to Save the Iraqis America Left Behind qis America Left BehindTo Be a Friend Is Fatal: The Fight to Save the Iraqis America Left Behind qis America Left Behindhttp://www.haverford.edu/calendar/details/259171Chase Auditorium2014-02-17T16:15:002014-02-17T18:00:00
February 17,2014 4:15PM–6:00PM
Chase Auditorium
Talk by author, Kirk W. Johnson. This ev ent is free and open to the public. the Iraqis America Left Behind." This event is free and open to the public.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans stepped forward to assist U.S. soldiers, diplomats, and aid workers over the past decade of war, acting as interpreters, engineers, and advisors to America's reconstruction efforts. As the U.S. development program foundered and counter-insurgency tactics alienated the Iraqi and Afghan public, though, they were increasingly viewed as traitors to their country.
Despite their immense value to America's interests, as soon as they began to petition the U.S. government for refuge, they were met by a bureaucracy that viewed them as potential terrorists. With the war in Iraq a distant memory and the withdrawal from Afghanistan gathering speed, the Iraqis and Afghans are now tarred with a stigma that is both lethal and generational.
Kirk W. Johnson will discuss the efforts of the List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies in confronting both Republican and Democratic resistance in Washington, the state of humanitarianism in an America-in-withdrawal, and a brief history of bureaucratic abandonment in past wars.
Kirk W. Johnson is the founder of the List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and Foreign Policy.
Prior to the List Project, Johnson served in Iraq with the U.S. Agency for International Development, first in Baghdad, and then in Fallujah as the Agency's first coordinator for reconstruction in the war-torn city.
He has received fellowships from the American Academy in Berlin, Yaddo, MacDowell, and the Wurlitzer Foundation. Prior to his work in Iraq, he conducted research on political Islamism as a Fulbright Scholar in Egypt. Johnson received his BA from the University of Chicago in 2002.

Friends of the Animal Shelter is an organization made up of wonderful, diligent volunteers who have spent countless hours raising funds that have made the new facility a reality.
The Board of Appeals has ruled that the Aiken County Animal Shelter is required to have 12 paved parking spaces at its new location, instead of only two as requested.
Every penny counts. Why is this necessary? The shelter has functioned for 21 years with an adequate gravel parking lot. The gravel parking lot is not only beneficial to the surrounding trees and foliage, but assists in dispersing dog waste as well the safety issues.
The added expense of $2,000 (loose estimate) for the additional parking spaces may not be an issue to some, but it will actually feed all the animals in the entire shelter for one month which is huge.
This is a public facility paid with taxpayer's dollars, inadequate without the generosity of FOTAS. Favoritism and fairness has nothing to do with the issue at hand as stated in Aiken Standard article written on Dec. 14. "It smacks of favoritism and goes against the sense of fairness," James Baggott, board member of Aiken County Board Appeals, was quoted as saying.
In today's economic climate, attempting to raise funds is so difficult, it seems that some sort of consideration pertaining to requirements for public places funded by the public could be considered.
It seems reasonable that the variance asked that only two handicapped spaces be paved at the new shelter and the rest of the parking lot and driveway remain gravel.
With FOTAS' good intentions, it is unfortunate that the total Board of Appeals were not able to grant an exception.
