Ender's Game (Ender Wiggins Saga #1)by Orson Scott Card
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew Ender Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut — young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? And what if Ender is merely the brilliant result of genetic experiments? The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives.
An increasingly popular and relevant novel that risks and achieves and delivers more than most anything else within the science fiction genre, Ender's Game is a contemporary classic — a work, as Gene Wolf has written, that will still be finding new readers when 99 percent of the books published this year are completely forgotten.
"Card has taken the venerable sf concepts of a superman and interstellar war against aliens, and, with superb characterization, pacing and language, combined them into a seamless story of compelling power. This is Card at the height of his very considerable powers — a major SF novel by any reasonable standards." Booklist
"'Intense' is the word for Ender's Game." The New York Times
"An affecting novel full of surprises that seem inevitable once they are explained. The key, of course, is Ender Wiggin himself. Mr. Card never makes the mistake of patronizing or sentimentalizing his hero. Alternately likable and insufferable, his is a convincing little Napoleon in short pants." Gerald Jonas, The New York Times Book Review
"A gripping tale of adventure in space and a scathing indictment of the military mind." Library Journal
"This twenty-five-year-old science fiction classic [is] unlike many hardcore SF titles [in that it] is particularly appropriate for a younger audience, for its protagonist, Ender Wiggin, is just six years old at the novel's beginning and still a pre-teen at its end....For the most part, this novel will deservedly reach a new generation." Norah Piehl, Children's Literature
The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic is now available in an author's definitive edition. The alien Buggers threaten humanity with extinction, and Earth's ultimate savior may be one small boy. Andrew "Ender" Wiggins thinks he is only playing computer games, but he is really commanding Earth's last great fleet.
When three unusually attractive young adults rent the summer cottage next door, Barney's boring vacation at the beach seemingly takes a turn for the better. However, after the neighbors unwittingly reveal their extraterrestrial identities, the board game they have taught him becomes a real-life battle, and Barney must outsmart the aliens to save Earth from destruction. The fantastical tale contains some of Sleator's most inventive characters.

I have a couple of confessions. First, I am a ribbon hoarder. I am a hoarder of other things, but ribbon is something that just follows me home from everywhere. If there is a really good sale on ribbon, I have to buy a couple of spools. If there is a box of ribbon at an estate sale, I take it to the checkout with me.
My friend, Susie, knows that I am a ribbon hoarder. She gifted me with this pretty toile box with black and white ribbons. You have now seem my only neat ribbon storage. My second confession is that my ribbon storage is not pretty. I think I'm afraid to organize it, because I might go into shock over the number of ribbon spools I have.

Alfredo Simon is being accused of murdering one man and wounding another in the Dominican Rebuplic during New Years Eve. Two Orioles dominican contacts, one being Felipe Alou Jr., have told the associated press that Simon was not involved. The Santo Domingo based Dominican News has reported that Simon had shot a gun into the sky to break up a fight and the rest is hazy without explination, if it happened at that time or later in the evening.
Either way, you will likely see the United States pull his Visa until this is re-solved. The Orioles will have to add another arm in the case this further develops into something more serious.

By Kevin R. Betts
Around this time of year almost annually, residents of Fargo, ND and surrounding cities get together to do something most people couldn't imagine doing even once. They self-mobilize to fight a flood that threatens to destroy the livelihoods of thousands of citizens. Residents voluntarily take time off from work or school, show up at various locations specified by city officials, and fill and place millions of sandbags. In 2009, residents witnessed a 43 foot river crest that likely would have overtaken the city without these efforts. With record precipitation levels this year, city officials are again asking residents to volunteer their time to flood protection efforts. This year's goal: three million sandbags.
If you imagine yourself faced with fighting a flood year after year to save your own city, you might direct your attention to the psychological or financial costs of such a fight. And certainly these costs are real. Yet, as a current resident of Fargo, I can tell you that volunteers in this effort accrue social and psychological benefits as well. I've listened to friends and neighbors describe these benefits, as well as experienced them myself. For example, the yearly flood fight brings the region's citizens together in unique ways. Ensuring that the region is protected from the flood is a common goal that all the volunteers share. Thus, volunteers can often be seen working collaboratively with individuals they might not normally associate with. It is clear that volunteers derive a sense of self-worth from having contributed to these common goals as well. Working together and helping one another feels good. It is with an immense sense of pride that volunteers can say that they themselves prevented an environmental catastrophe.
My observations and experiences in Fargo suggest that volunteer work has social and psychological benefits. Research by Piliavin (2008) supports this notion empirically and takes it one step further. She provides evidence that volunteer work over one's lifetime contributes not only to positive psychological health outcomes, but also to positive physical health outcomes. She draws these conclusions based on longitudinal data from 10,317 women and men who varied in the extent to which they volunteered throughout their lives. Although the manner in which lifelong volunteer work impacts psychological and physical health is complex, it is not difficult to understand because it follows a relatively straightforward path. First, volunteering enhances social integration. Second, social integration attained through volunteering promotes volunteer motives and identity. Third, this volunteer identity promotes a sense of personal worth from having contributed to helping others. Finally, this sense of personal worth enhances psychological well-being which can impact physical health. This is important. People who volunteer consistently throughout their lives are healthier psychologically and physically as a result.
Although the costs of fighting a flood almost annually are enormous, my observations along with research by Piliavin (2008) suggest that volunteers may accrue some benefits. If you are looking for another reason to volunteer your time to cause that matters to you, remember that you may be doing more than helping others. You may be helping yourself!

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
Because of the unique situation with the show's close adaptation of the novels, we have decided that a stringent approach to spoilers is the only way to allow the forum to cater to the widest possible viewership, from those who've not read the novels to those who've devoured every book.
It is of absolute importance that spoiling the TV show for those who've not read the books does not happen. We will be quite harsh on this point, including completely blocking access to this discussion forum to habitual offenders (and possibly the rest of the forum, if we judge the spoiling to have been malicious rather than simply thoughtless).
We have what we hope is a simple method of tagging each topic in regard to spoiler levels:
- NO SPOILERS: No spoilers of any kind, only what has been revealed in the episodes that have been aired. However, mentioning a setting detail that does not in any way give away plot details is okay in this regard. We'll trust users to use their best judgment. When in doubt, don't post; errors will be treated as spoiling.
- TV SPOILERS - This is particularly intended for those who have not read the books, but are reading up on TV-show based discussion and media or watching previews for future episodes, which may provide spoilers. Make sure that the spoiler you want to discuss has come from TV-show focused media; if you can't cite the source, it may be assumed you're spoiling the books, and punished accordingly. Information from private screenings or viewings of episodes or material that is not yet aired should be protected with spoiler code.
- BOOK SPOILERS - Full on spoilers for all published works as well as all published media (previews, clips, summaries, etc.) that have been widely disseminated regarding the series. Information from private screenings or viewings of episodes or material that is not yet aired, as well as spoilers from unpublished works (TWoW excerpts, reading reports, etc.) should be protected with spoiler code.
Some additional rules and notifications:
- Anyone can start a thread. However, the thread will be hidden until a moderator approves it as appropriate. Try to make sure you mark the spoiler level as directed above, that the title bears no spoilers, that you're not closely duplicating an existing topic, and that you are posting in the correct forum
- Be aware that other forums have different rules, namely that discussing any material from published works is fine and does not need spoiler notification. If you want to make sure you never see spoilers from those forums, make sure to bookmark and only visit this forum
- Please remain civil in discussions. Rude remarks about other posters, implying personal defects to them, and so on is inappropriate. If you have a personal beef with someone, use the PM system to contact them privately. Tit-for-tat insults and pointless arguments will not be tolerated.
- Similarly, please remain respectful of the cast and crew, especially when it comes to matters such as personal appearance. It's okay to say an actor does not fit your image of a character, or even how the character is described, but it's not acceptable to go on about finding them 'too ugly' for a role or what have you. These are real people, some of whom browse this forum, some who even have a presence here. They've worked hard to create the best show they can. Performance critiques, so long as they're constructive, are of course welcome.
- We highly recommend reading the Board Style Guide, our guide for How to Avoid Flames, and the Board FAQ.

Read: Glen Sather's 10th Anniversary As Rangers GM
In the New York Daily News, Michael Obernauer writes about how TODAY is the 10th anniversary of Glen Sather taking over as President and GM of the Rangers.
…10 years! I don't know if its hard to believe or not that its been that long but that is certainly a long time for someone who has only led the team to two playoff series wins in that time. His pre-lockout time was a disaster but did have the team, or Jaromir Jagr and Henrik Lundqvist had them, in the playoffs each of the four post lockout seasons until this past one.
That picture isn't from his introductory press conference but I love the look that him and Bure give each other in this. Click for higher resolution.
For such an occasion, I searched through the New York Times archives for stories on this and the Rangers pursuit of Sather to lead the team.
April 21st,2000 Jason Diamos wrote about the Rangers trying to lure Sather as his Oilers were on the verge of being eliminated.
April 25th, Sather insisted that he was staying in Edmonton for the final two years of his contract.
On May 3rd, Diamos reported that the window for Sather to use his escape clause was in mid-July. He also said that the Rangers had two in-house candidates for the position, Don Maloney and John Davidson.
…It should have been JD.
On May 10th, Diamos reported that Sather met with Dave Checketts, then the Garden President. Sather denied the meeting took place.
May 17th, The Rangers and Sather meet for a second time while Don Maloney is waiting to make his pitch to be the Rangers fearless leader. Sather denies once again meeting with the Rangers.
May 18th, Sather is set to leave the Oilers but also has the option of going to Phoenix to be their GM with Wayne Gretzky about to step into the organization.
…Now that would have changed hockey in two places dramatically for the past ten years.
May 19th, The Oilers are considering filing tampering charges against the Rangers for talking to Sather without written permission. Sather is speaking as if he will leave the Oilers to pursue new opportunities.
May 20th, Sather has resigned from the Oilers and calls himself "a free agent." The race is on between the Rangers and Gretzky to see who will get Slats services.
May 21st, Sather is waiting to hear from the Rangers but is planning another meeting with them. The first mention of Kevin Lowe and/or Craig MacTavish coming to the Rangers is mentioned.
May 27th, The Rangers and Sather are expected to be very close on a deal for him to become the GM. Sather denies it.
May 30th, Wayne Gretzky tells JD that he told Sather to take on the role of Rangers GM:
"I really think that it would be good for both," Gretzky said. "New York needs a guy like Glen Sather. They need a guy with the reputation of being a champion, of being a winner."
Also, Gretzky's stake in the Coyotes and new ownership helped the team stave off a move to Portland, Oregon.
May 31st, Diamos says that the Rangers and Sather have signed a deal for the two to work together and an announcement is expected later in the week.
June 1st, Sather is to be introduced as GM of the team. Kevin Lowe is Sather's choice to be coach and wanted the two to be introduced together. His deal is rumored to be five years at $15 million with Cablevision stock options.
June 1st, Joe Lapointe looks at the Sather deal two ways, Positive like acquiring Mark Messier in 1991, or Negative like bringing in Wayne Gretzky in 1996.
June 2nd, Sather is given complete control of the team and his rumored deal is now for seven years and over $20 million. Lowe is still looked at as being the head coach, but is also partial to following Sather as the Oilers GM. If Lowe doesn't come to coach the Rangers, MacTavish is Sather's next choice.
June 2nd, Legendary New York Times columnist Dave Anderson writes about Sather and the job he will have to undertake. He also has this quote from Checketts on why he wanted Sather:
"I wanted somebody who played here, who understood being here," Checketts said of Sather. "That was part of our problem. That's why I sent Stephane Quintal home when he said he didn't want to be here. Not enough respect to be a Ranger."
June 4th, Lowe is expected to meet with the Oilers board see where his future lies. John Paddock is mentioned as a possible coach.
June 10th, Lowe is staying on as Edmonton GM and MacTavish is expected to take over as coach. Paddock, who led Hartford to the Calder Cup the season before is now the front runner for the job.
June 16th, Mike Keenan expresses interest in the Rangers head coaching position but Glen Sather wants Keenan to call him himself. Paddock and Walt Kyle are the front runners.
…I have this feeling that Keenan and Sather would not have worked out that well.
July 2nd, Mark Messier is expected to return after becoming a free agent and Ron Low is expected to be named head coach. Ted Green is brought in from Edmonton to be an assistant coach.
July 4th, Low is going to be announced as coach in the next week. Low also interviewed with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
July 6th, Keenan and Sather have spoken but Sather won't decide on a coach yet. Claude Lemieux is a target of Sather in free agency.
….Eww. Claude Lemieux.
July 13th, Sather and Low admit to calling their predecessors, Neil Smith an John Muckler to get a feel for the team. Smith didn't return Sather's messages.

Established in 2004 as a joint venture between the AAAA and the U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), the Order of Our Lady of Loreto recognizes individuals who are worthy of special recognition for outstanding support to the Army Aviation Family and Army Aviation Community.
According to tradition, the home in which the Virgin Mary was born was miraculously moved by angels in 1295 from its original site in Nazareth to its present site in Loreto, Italy. Since 1920 Our Lady of Loreto has been recognized as the patron saint of aviators. This award celebrates the sacrifice, support, security, and caring provided by those at home and in the larger Army Aviation Community that make it possible for Army Aviation soldiers to accomplish their missions despite changes in circumstances, location, and separation from loved ones.

More support for the arts soon will arrive in the north country, with the recent establishment of a Stage Notes charitable foundation through the Northern New York Community Foundation.
According to a Community Foundation news release, the charitable foundation will involve a fund for giving grants and one to help build a permanent endowment.
Through partnership with the Community Foundation, we hope we can formalize their giving, and attract new donors to support them, said Rande S. Richardson, Community Foundation executive director. We have been talking with them for about a year ... theyre at the point in their grantmaking where theyre doing more significant giving, and they want to do it as effectively a possible.
Stage Notes was founded in 2009 as a way to help students fulfill their passion for musical theater, according to the release. Members have presented five full-length musicals, and are planning a July performance of Les Miserables to benefit the Watertown Urban Mission.
The performance group has donated proceeds totaling more than $15,000 to local organizations.
Stage Notes is committed to a long-term relationship of supporting the needs of our community, Stage Notes board President Michele R. Glover said in a prepared statement. What better way to ensure performances with a purpose than to partner with the Northern New York Community Foundation? We respect their commitment of connecting donors who care with causes that matter.
Mr. Richardson said the formation of the charitable foundation allows Stage Notes to concentrate on its real work with students and the arts, and allows the Community Foundation to work on the more financial and technical side. The structure already exists at the Community Foundation, he said, for groups of all sizes that want to do their work more efficiently.
He said its important for the Community Foundation to continue to support the arts because arts groups are finding it increasingly difficult to find support from other traditional means.
That makes local philanthropic support critical, Mr. Richardson said.
People interested in supporting Stage Notes through the new funds can call Mr. Richardson at 782-7110.

There's a total of 24 boxes, but you only start off with 8. You need to put at least one pokémon in each box, log out, log in again and you should have 16 boxes. Repeat this and you should have all 24 boxes.
just a question to confirm something. I just got pokerus from an Ambipom obtained in an in-game trade(the girl in Accumula town). is everyone getting the pokerus from that Ambipom or did i just got lucky?

The Eagles soccer team had one mental lapse that may have cost them a nearly perfect defensive game.
In a frantic moment in front of the College of Eastern Utah goal, the ball was accidently put into the net by an Eagle player who was trying to clear things out.
Prior to the goal, neither team had scored.
Weber would add one more goal in the final moments of the game to take home a 2-0 victory.
CEU coach Ron Dadgari said he was very impressed with his team's play despite the loss.
"We withstood their offensive attack really well," he commented. "Every game has been an improvement in every area."
Weber is hailed as the team to beat in CEU's region, making Friday's performance against the experienced club even more of an accomplishment for the first season Eagles.
The Eastern Utah team is also playing without its offensive dynamo, Toshi Shinozaki. Shinozaki was injured in a recent game and will probably not return for the Eagles before the final games of the season.
Dadgari said the loss of Shinozaki has forced the team to redesign its plan of attack and move players forward that would have focused more on distributing the ball than scoring.
However, Dadgari emphasised that opportunities are there if the team will take them.
"In the game of soccer, all you need is one opportunity," pointed out Dadgari. "It's very important to capitalize."
CEU will host Southern Utah University on Friday at 5 p.m. and then play the Dixie State Rebels at home on Saturday at 10 a.m.
Dadgari expects the team to have a different showing against the teams, both of which defeated CEU earlier in the season.
"The way we have improved, I think we can be a lot more competitive," he stated. "We should be able to beat them both."
The College of Eastern Utah games take place on the soccer fields behind the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center.

Just a day before concert tickets were to go on sale on Friday, Disabled Persons Action Organization officials learned of a new $2,575 fee the city is implementing for the summer concert season at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
DPAO board member Charles W. Palmatier said Friday that he was surprised to hear the city has decided to charge the $2,575.20 or $643 per concert for sewer hookups to trailers that will be used as entertainer dressing rooms. He was especially surprised by the timing of the fees.
The organization never had a chance to discuss the new fee with the city before it was notified about it, he said. Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner sent an email to DPAO officials Thursday outlining all of the citys fees for this year.
At this point, we think we take all the risks, Mr. Palmatier said, adding that the costs for the concerts are exorbitant and only the DPAO stands to lose money on them.
Last year, the city began charging RV fees to park the trailers there $20 a day for electrical hookup and $10 without, Mrs. Gardner said.
With the escalating fee costs, DPAO may consider looking at other venues and moving the concerts from the fairgrounds, Mr. Palmatier said.
For years, DPAO has presented summer concerts at the fairgrounds as fundraisers to pay for services it provides to its 500 clients and their families. Mr. Palmatier contends the shows help a lot of people who live in Watertown.
In recent years, DPAO has expressed concerns about escalating fees for food concessions, parking and other items.
On Friday, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said DPAO has made complaints in the past about fees. He declined to comment beyond saying, This has become a part of the regular discourse, so Im not going to engage in the back-and-forth.
The organization has not signed a contract with the city yet, and the first concert is scheduled for May 25.
On Friday, Mrs. Gardner defended the way she had handled the fees situation, saying that she contacted DPAO officials about the coming contract March 13 and never received a response.
As for the sewer and electrical hookups, she decided to charge for the cost of the labor and material costs. It takes four city employees about 10 hours to complete the work for the hookups, she said.
Its not my job to waive fees, she said, adding the agency can go to City Council members to make those requests.
In the past, DPAO officials have gone to individual council members to have fees waived, she said.
Many of the new and increased fees came as a result of a series of policy and procedural changes that council members implemented after they learned two years ago about financial turmoil that the Parks Department went through.
The council subsequently brought in a new management team to run the Parks Department.

It seems few people realize it or even know about it but this Friday is National Miner's Day.
The effort to create a commemorative National Miner's Day ended when a resolution was passed in the United States Senate on Dec. 3, 2009 proclaiming Dec. 6 of each year as National Miner's Day.
While many in modern society take for granted their daily lives, almost all of what they use or consume is either grown or mined from the ground. The mining industry has played a significant role in the growth of America, with much of the westward expansion of the country coming because of mining.
And a great deal of that progress was paid for in blood and lives.
But while most of the mining operations in the United States today are fairly safe endeavors because of safety laws enacted after unions fought for such regulations for years, it hasn't always been that way.
The worst mining disaster in American History occurred in the community of Monongah, W. Va., on Dec. 6, 1907. On that dreadful day, 362 men and boys lost their lives. Some say the number is actually closer to 500. That happened at a coal mine site.
In Utah the worst disaster also came as the result of coal mining. On May 1, 1900, more than 200 coal miners died in the Winter Quarters mine near Scofield. The second worst happened on March 8, 1924, when three explosions rocked Castle Gate. That morning 172 died and one was also killed in the rescue effort.
To those that live in Castle Country, miners are heroes. They go places that most people wouldn't want to go, to mine minerals and energy from the ground. These efforts provide the goods and services that everyone has become used to.
Whether they be hard rock miners or coal miners Americans owe them a debt of gratitude.
What follows is a letter from Joseph A. Main, the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health. He sent us a letter about it.
"On Friday we celebrate the fourth annual National Miner's Day. In 2009, Congress proclaimed that each December 6 would be recognized in remembrance of the 1907 Monongah coal mine disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 362 miners and became the worst industrial accident in American history. The Proclamation designates this date 'in appreciation, honor and remembrance of the accomplishments and sacrifices of the miners of our Nation; and encourages the people of the United States to participated in local and national activities celebrating and honoring the contributions of miners.'"
"American miners play a much larger role in our lives than most people realize. They extract a variety of raw materials, such as coal, copper, phosphate, silver, limestone, iron and zinc - ores that are essential components in the products we use every day."
"Coal, and the electricity generated by coal power, play prominent roles in our homes, businesses and communities. Miners produce the gravel, crushed stone, tar, asphalt, road salt and cement used to build the roads we travel on and to make them safer. The bridges we build to span canyons and rivers are built with rock and mineral products produced by miners."
"Gold, silver and copper wiring, ceramic insulators, and silicon processing and memory chips are essential components in electronics that we use daily, such as smartphones, computers and televisions."
"Thousands of everyday consumer goods are made with the fundamental materials secured from the hard work of miners. They range from cosmetics to toothpaste, from cookware and dinnerware to appliances."
"American miners work every day to provide the necessities of life. They deserve protection on the job from workplace hazards that have killed tens of thousands and injured hundreds of thousands of miners throughout our history".
"We are making progress. In 1907, the same year as the Monongah disaster, 3,000 miners died in tragic accidents. Fatalities numbering in the thousand were not uncommon during the first part of the 20th century. These numbers decreased to about 140 in the 1970s due in large part to the passage of the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The 1977 Act created the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) in the Department of Labor to oversee the safety and health of miners. Thirty-five years later, we have seen the lowest fatality rate in this nation's history. And, through the "End Black Lung - Act Now" initiative and other occupational health efforts, we are making progress in limiting miners' exposure to respirable dust and other harmful contaminants. While more needs to be done to prevent death, injury and illness in the nation's mines, our efforts and collaboration with labor and industry stakeholders are showing positive results."
"We will continue to work hard to send miners home safe and healthy at the end of every shift. On this National Miners Day, we honor their contributions and thank them for the sacrifices they have made on behalf of this nation. We hope the American people will join us in commemorating this day of recognition."

|A compound used in humans to prevent rejection of organ transplants can significantly extend the lifespan of mice. Writing in the journal Nature, researchers describe their work with the compound rapamycin, a bacterial product originally found in a soil sample from Rapa Nui, or Easter Island. When the compound was administered to elderly mice, the lifespan of the treated mice was increased by 9-14 percent, the researchers say. The research is the first time that a drug has been found to extend the lifespan of normal, healthy mammals. Doctors cautioned that people should not attempt to use the compound in an attempt to extend their own lifespan, as it suppresses the immune system -- but said that the finding could open up new avenues of research in the field of longevity studies. We'll talk about it.

Recently Governor Jon Huntsman Jr, and the Utah State Attorney General announced through the media they intend take the radical extreme enviro's to court, challenging them on who has control over the roads in the state of Utah. In particular, the San Rafael.
When the territory of Utah after agreeing to abolish polygamy, became the State of Utah, it then came under the direction of the Enabling Act 1868. Section 8 of this act states, "An Act Granting Right of Way to Ditch and Canal Owners and for other purposes.
The law more commonly known as the Mining Act of 1866 which was revised in 1872 under the revised statute RS 2477 grant, in its entirety says; "the-right-of -way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public uses is hereby granted."
The grant does not state the right of way must be graded, graveled or black topped. Various environmental groups have read words into the act in trying to alter its intent. Using the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, Public Law 94-579, from the 94th Congress. It says in it it is "An act to establish public land policy: to establish guidelines for its administration: to provide for the management, protection, development, and enhancement of the public lands; and for other purposes."
It is this last phrase, and for other purposes, the enviro's have launched their campaign. When this act and all its working regulations were drawn up and put into place it then became the working tool for the enviromentalists. They started to insert their interpretation of the act.
Their aim and desire to close all roads, including those that are graveled, graded but not kept up in a condition that a 1976 automobile can traverse it at normal speeds.
Now is the time for all World War II veterans, who laid their life on the line for these rights, all uranium prospectors, all cattle and sheep men who have traveled these roads before 1976, to write the attorney general giving dates, stating facts, of when you traversed over any or all of the roads in the San Rafael area.
Any failure to respond and get involved will not only be hurting our governor and attorney general in their fight to protect your rights, but the biggest disappointment will be unto your posterity. That is your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and those that follow.
It could be said that in your failure to get involved you are aiding and abetting the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.
Evil people rule, When good people do nothing.

San Diego State's Long gets two-year extension
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen Brady Hoke left San Diego State to take the Michigan job two years ago, he offered his defensive coordinator Rocky Long the chance to join him.
Long passed on the opportunity to work at a perennial power because he didn't think it was fair for the Aztec players to go through another coaching change.
San Diego State hired Long as head coach, and so far, the decision has proven to be the right one. Today, school officials announced that Long has signed a two-year contract extension that runs through the 2017 season.
Following an 8-5 finish in 2011, Long guided the Aztecs to a 9-4 finish last season and a share of the Mountain West Conference championship – the school's first conference title since it won the WAC in 1986. San Diego State was predicted to finish fifth in the conference in the preseason, and Long earned MWC Coach of the Year honors.
Through two seasons at SDSU, Long's 17-9 record (.654) is the third-best mark in school history, trailing only legendary head coach Don Coryell (.840 from 1961-72) and Claude Gilbert (.697 from 1973-80).
In coaching circle's, Long's reputation is impeccable. A former defensive coordinator at UCLA and Oregon State, Long served as head coach of his alma mater New Mexico from 1998-2008, winning a school record 65 games and leading the Lobos to five bowl games in his last seven seasons. To put that accomplishment in perspective, since 1984 UNM is 60-151 (.284) with only three six-plus win seasons in 18 campaigns without Long at the helm.
"I am very excited about the future of Aztec football under Rocky Long's leadership," SDSU athletic director Jim Sterk said in a statement. "Coach Long has continued the growth and the success in all aspects of our program, while gaining more regional and national interest. I look forward to next season as we look to defend our Mountain West title."

On June 23rd I reported on the devastating news about Jeremiah Masoli who was permanently relieved of duty as the Oregon Duck's star quarterback after a string of stupid behavior. I reported that news from the perspective of a threatened Duck. I wrote that Masoli's behavior "put our team's standing for next year's season in jeopardy," and this was considered a "greater sacrilege," worse than "back-washing into the Eucharist cup." I admit that while writing the piece my concern was mostly centered on the team's future standings. In my defense, research finding would predict that response. In fact, Okimoto and Wenzel (2009) reported that strong group identifiers respond more aggressively to perceived intragroup terrorism than intergroup terrorism. So it was only natural that I responded to Masoli's behavior as if he committed a domestic attack of terrorism on the potential future success of the Duck's football team, which, as you might recall, is a sacred institution for many Oregonians.
In light of the literature, I feel my biased in-group response was justifiable and warranted. However, be that as it may, I feel I owe Masoli an apology. I might have hastily lashed-out when I said that this last stunt would be the end of Masoli. I thought he was "pissing away" his chance to fully benefit from his talents. Well, he has proven me very wrong. He managed to finish his undergraduate degree while under the stress of public and legal scrutiny. On top of that, he applied and was accepted into a graduate program at Ole Miss. And the icing on the cake: he's going to play football for them! That's pretty impressive. I admire that he's willing to take on the challenge of graduate school. But I'm most impressed that he was able to take a bad situation, turned it around, and make it a positive one. I think he should be applaud for that.

Narrator Richard Ferrone conveys the spiritual and physical conflicts, sweeping you into a world teetering on the brink of destruction.
Left Behind thrilled millions of readers with its apocalyptic visions and fast-paced suspense. Now Tribulation Force joins it in the stunning continuation of a prophetic battle against the enemies of God.
Browse the entire Left Behind series.

"Christians Learning to Work Together"
Holds together well and continues the great storytelling of book one. I look forward to the others in the series.
Have found audiobooks to be a great way to pass time during long car road trips for work, and Audible makes it easy.
"Really enjoying this series."
This series is interesting, educational, and thought provoking. I also prefer this narrator (Ferrone) to the one from the first book. Already starting Book 3!
"Just keeps getting better!"
The story line is so good and believable. This series gets better and better with each book. I enjoy this set better than the dramatized edition because it is the original print that I read when I read the books.
He reads with great enthusiasm and he is right on point with the whole story line.
Don't get left behind !
Rabbi Ben Judah is my favorite character in this series.
"Inspiring read..."
Did not read the print version.
Buck. I enjoy his passion
I am so glad that Richard Ferrone is a narrator because the original narrator made the story almost impossible to listen to.
I am glad that I am listening to the book and not reading it because I feel I would not have read much of the series. The grammatical errors come through even in the audio book but do not bother me as much because I do not have to read them.
"Tribulation Force (Unabridged)"
This book is absolutly wonderful. I read the whole series when they first came out ,and I shared them with my mother. she really fell in love with them and wonders why more church people have never heard about them,less known read them.
They are so awesome ,this is my second time listening to them. I never get tired of listening to them. And since I enjoy crocheting sooo muchI can now get a lot of crocheting done cause I can listen and their word for word the book,cause I have the complete set in hard back too!! It's wonderful how all the characters come to life and scripture reference is used so often in explaining each step of what's happening next in Revelation through the story.
"Riviting!! & Engulfing!!"
I am not a fast reader so I opted for the audio version. I had read the left behind volume 1 and watched the cloud ten movies. I plan to listen to all of the rest of the books they are amazing!!
"good listening story"
enjoyed the box in both parts very much. I would recommend this to anyone liking this type of suspense
Someone sent Left Behind to me and after reading it the old fashion way I wanted to continue with the series. But most of my time is spent in my car. I found audible.com and it has become a way of life. I am hooked on the Tribulation Force and can't wait to get from one book to another. Makes the Bible easier to understand especially Revelations.
"The Best"
These are the best book I have ever found second only to the BIBLE....
Thank you
Tim La Haye is a very gifted writer and his book make for compelling reading - it is very difficult to take a break as you just nwant to know what happens next. I am new to audio listening but it is fantastic especially as my eyes are getting bad. I can listen as I* work which is great!
"great book"
great book - again

POTSDAM When John F. Schwaller steps down next July, he will end his tenure as SUNY Potsdam president on his own terms.
Mr. Schwaller put to rest rumors about the reasons for his resignation Monday afternoon.
Im resigning, and the only person who made that decision was me, he said.
The decisions timing resurrected concerns that SUNY might have requested Mr. Schwallers resignation to install a joint president for SUNY Potsdam and its neighboring campus in Canton. Last year, SUNY mulled naming Mr. Schwaller president of both campuses. SUNY Canton is still without a permanent president.
No one factor led to my decision, he said. I came to the decision that for the good of the college, it was time for me to step down.
After seven years as president, Mr. Schwaller said SUNY Potsdam might be better served by a change, noting that he has outlasted the average college presidents tenure by two years.
It will be helpful to have new leadership and another set of eyes on campus, he said. I would like to say that they dont need me anymore.
Mr. Schwaller dismissed rumors that he had been offered a teaching position on another SUNY campus.
I dont know what Im going to do next. There are lots of options out there, he said. The calendar tells me I am 65 in July, if I wanted to retire, I could.
Though retirement is an option, Mr. Schwaller said he would like to return to the classroom.
I love to teach, he said. I love to study Mexico in the 16th century. I am exploring all of my options.
He dispelled rumors that he was stepping down due to his health.
Im as healthy as a horse, he said. Probably more healthy than some horses.
Mr. Schwaller said he would not remain in Potsdam.
It is a wonderful place to live, but I will not stay in Potsdam and thats hard, he said.
Since arriving at SUNY Potsdam in 2006, Mr. Schwaller invigorated the schools students-first approach to higher education.
I brought this concept of a hand-crafted education, he said. It was already here, it was not unique to me, I just gave it a name and once we named it, we could claim it.
Mr. Schwaller named expanded faculty-mentored undergraduate research and high levels of teacher-student interaction as hallmarks of the SUNY Potsdam experience.
The school has momentum as a result of focusing on student learning, he said. The college will continue to grow and prosper.
Mr. Schwaller also touted increasing diversity among the schools enrollment and faculty.
I am proud of that. We made tremendous strides, he said.
The school is also growing, with a $48 million performing arts building slated to open next year.
Weve seen growth in the arts, but most of the sciences have also seen growth, said Mr. Schwaller.
Though he sounded a positive tone Monday, Mr. Schwaller demurred from making predictions about the schools future.
As a historian, Im much more comfortable looking backwards, but Im very optimistic, he said.
Mr. Schwaller said he didnt know if the school would retain its own unique president after he stepped down, or whether a shared presidency would be announced.
My crystal ball is broken, he said. I dont know what (Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher) and the board of trustees will decide.
SUNY Potsdams next leader will inherit challenges and opportunities, said Mr. Schwaller.
I am not SUNY Potsdam, he said. This place has been around 200 years... it has had 15 presidents, and it will continue on through another series of presidents. It will continue to be a strong institution.

Drivers caught on camera running school bus stop arms
Video from Seminole County pilot program released
A pilot video program in Seminole County caught 67 drivers running through stop arms on the side of school buses.
Seminole County Public Schools teamed up with American Traffic Solutions of Scottsdale, Arizona to conduct surveillance on areas where a DOE survey showed a heavy amounts of school bus stop arm violations.
Stop arms are engaged when schools buses stop to pick up and drop off students at bus stops.
According to Florida law, on a two-lane roadway the vehicles traveling in both directions must stop.
On a multi-lane roadway with no barrier or paved access in between, vehicles on both sides must also stop.
On divided highways where there is median or some type of barrier like grass, only drivers behind the bus must stop while drivers on the other side of the highway are not required to stop.
In the video ATS collected of drivers in Seminole County running bus arms, it is clear that there is confusion on the law.
Some of the clips show drivers in the far lanes of the roadway driving right past the stopped bus. Many show drivers not making any attempt to even stop next to or behind the buses.
The violations found in Seminole County occurred from October 3, 2010 through November 16, 2012, but the pilot program will continue through the school year.
The cameras were placed on bus routes that service the Altamonte, Lake Brantley, Milwee, English Estats and Lake Howell areas. Placement of cameras was determined by the results of a DOE survey.
Currently, drivers caught on the surveillance systems will not be ticketed for running the stop arms but lobbyists have been pushing the legislature to create a law that would utilize school bus stop arm videos the same way as red light cameras.
A representative from ATS said the company has several pilot programs in place around the state, including Orange, Osceola, Brevard and Volusia schools.
In Georgia, ATS is already collecting video data and issuing citations on behalf of several municipalities.
The company representative said there is no charge for school districts to install or maintain the surveillance. ATS gets a portion of the fine issued to the driver.
According to Seminole County Schools transportation department, legislation was proposed in 2012 to create a law allowing drivers to be cited after being caught on camera running the bus arms.
The transportation department is presenting the findings of the first part of the pilot program at the board meeting on Tuesday.
The board would need to approve full implementation of the system if a state law were passed to allow the citations.

Swedish Judge Not Very Perturbed by Teen's Porn-sploitation Stunt
Today in international tech news: A Swedish court reduces the fine for a teen who uploaded a pornographic video of his then-girlfriend because, according to the court, young people are so open with sexuality that it isn't such a big deal. Also: Pirate Bay founder asks Sweden to block his extradition to Denmark; HTC has reportedly shuttered a primary production line; and a Chinese sports betting site files for a U.S. IPO.
Oct 23, 2013 10:12 AM PT
A Swedish court reduced the fine for a teenage boy who uploaded a pornographic video of his unwitting then-girlfriend.
The original fine was going to be about US$20,000 but was reduced to less than $4,000 after the ruling.
Notably, the court justified its decision by asserting that young people are "so open" about their sexual behavior that such a large fine was unjustified: "...it has with time become increasingly socially acceptable to be very open and outgoing in regard to one's sexual habits."
The boy, then 17, uploaded an intimate video to numerous porn sites, later claiming that he didn't think the video would be seen so many times.

Pirate Bay Founder Asks Sweden to Reject Danish Extradition
Gottfrid Svartholm, a founder of The Pirate Bay, sent an open letter to the Swedish government asking it to not extradite him to Denmark. He has also appealed to the Swedish Supreme Court, which will no doubt postpone the extradition scheduled to take place next week.
Svartholm is already slated to spend a year in Swedish jail for hacking into Logica, an IT company. However, Svratholm also stands accused of hacking into CSC, another IT company, and downloading oodles of Danish files, including police records.
Svartholm has asked Danish authorities to drop the case, claiming that while the CSC hack was indeed carried out on his computer, it wasn't him doing the hacking. He is also claiming that the arrest warrant he received was incomplete -- because it didn't include a detailed description of the alleged crime -- and that he couldn't read the attachments referenced in the warrant because they were written in Danish.
Svartholm claims that if he is extradited, it would be a violation of international law.

HTC Puts Lack of Money Where Its Mouth Is
In what could be tangible evidence that Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC is in as much trouble as some have been saying, the company has stopped at least one of its four primary manufacturing lines and is outsourcing production, Reuters reports.
Earlier this month, HTC reported the first quarterly loss in its history. The company is dealing with slumping sales of its flagship "One" series as well as suspicions that employees dished trade secrets to Chinese rivals.
HTC has denied shutting down any production facilities and isn't commenting on whether or not it is outsourcing production.

Chinese Sports Lottery Outfit Seeks US IPO
An online sports lottery operator in China, 500.com Ltd., has filed for a $150 million initial public offering in the U.S.
The company didn't say how many shares it will offer, or at what price they would be offered.
The announcement comes as a pair of China-based Internet outfits -- 58.com Inc. and Qunar Cayman Islands Ltd. -- build toward their own IPOs.
500.com offers betting services through Web and mobile apps. It says its users have swelled to 18.4 million, up from 8.8 million at the end of 2010.

Byzance Vintage Series Crashes
This is such a wonderful looking Byzance Vintage 20" Crash cymbal. It also comes in 18" and 22". Those are very thin crashes, and both sides are sandblasted. That process is something which we started to do on cymbals back in the mid 90ies for the first time with our Custom Cymbal Shop cymbals. We stopped that series a few years later and re-introduced sand blasted cymbals again with our Byzance series and Benny Greb's signature Sand Ride.
Sandblasting a cymbals is a very radical step that causes a visual but also major sonic change. Its response becomes almost as sensitive as that of a splash even at such big sizes combined with a dark white-noise character. I use this 20" vintage crash in my personal set up right now for splash-like accents, cymbal swells and mutes. It's fabolous.
Other Meinl artists using it include Jost Nickel (Jan Delay & Disko No. 1), Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath), Richard Spaven (Jose James), Juan Carlos Mendoza (GC Drum Off Winner), and some more.
Here is also a sound sample done with my Zoom Q3HD again.

Ian Somerhalder And Nina Dobrev In Love Again?

We could only hope! The former love birds were caught Tweeting back and forth yesterday about puppies and Nina's cover on Cosmopolitan. Nina even went as far as calling Ian "Smouldy"… possibly his pet name when they were dating?
The signs all point to love, right?! I mean, they are currently filming The Vampire Diaries and are probably together everyday… the idea isn't that far-fetched!

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there.....
Quote from: jonlevy on December 01, 2011, 01:23:22 PMIf a tree falls in the forest and no one is there.....Advances in information technology mean that records expunged in the last 20 years may well leave public traces that could be a problem. Regardless of state law, I'd want to be sure that a simple Google or Lexis Public Information search is not going to turn up dirt. If that is the case, better to explain it in advance then get whacked for the far more serious issues of lying on a school or bar form.
I have noticed that some schools ask about expunged records, and yet most states have a policy of being able to legally say "no" to questions about convictions if expunged. How can it be legal to backdoor it like that?
