Facing a serious challenge in a Republican primary and needing money for the general election, 21st Congressional District GOP candidate Elise M. Stefanik took a road trip last week seeking help from the big boys of campaign finance.
Ms. Stefanik was one of a handful of House candidates who attended a weekend meeting in Aspen, Colo., called by Republican billionaire Paul Singer. The conference was to discuss individual party candidates at several levels. The goal of the group is to more carefully direct contributions to individual candidates, rather than just providing money to super political action committees based on general political philosophies.
These are top-tier fundraisers and donors who are looking to rethink party structure, Ms. Stefanik said Monday. Theyre looking for the ideal candidates to carry the partys banner into the elections.
She said the weekend meeting was a very targeted group looking for candidates that transcend some of the negatives that the party has faced in prior elections.
Primary challenger Matthew A. Doheny said Monday that his fundraising efforts to date have focused on people within the district, including Republican and independent voters, and said Ms. Stefaniks apparent head start at the national level doesnt necessarily give her an edge, noting the national Republican Party will give its support to the candidate who wins the primary.
Ive been very active across the district meeting people here on the ground. They are the people most important to my campaign, he said.
Petitions for the June 24 primary go out today and must be returned by April 10. Anyone who returns petitions with at least 1,250 valid signatures will appear on the primary ballot.
A story in Sundays New York Times detailing the move to more involvement between candidates and big donors noted Ms. Stefaniks appearance at the weekend meeting. In detailing participants who attended, the Times wrote, So did Elise Stefanik, who is running for an upstate New York congressional seat and whom many of the donors regard as an up-and-comer who can help broaden the partys appeal to women.
That issue is important to the party, Ms. Stefanik said, as it tries to shore up some of the support we lost in prior elections.
Ms. Stefanik said that in her travels throughout the district, women have been especially enthusiastic about her campaign.
Ive had women tell me theyre following my campaign, and their daughters are following me, she said.
Ms. Stefanik said the north country has long had an independent electorate that has not been gender oriented, pointing to the election of state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie and three female district attorneys in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties as examples.
Ms. Stefanik acknowledged that her participation in the meeting is likely to give a boost to her fundraising efforts.
With the primary campaign and the general election, I will raise whatever it takes to win, she said.
Her campaign said two weeks ago that her fundraising has exceeded $250,000. While she would not give specific numbers to update that, she noted that the next filing deadline for the Federal Election Commission, which tallies campaign spending, is March 30, and said that her report is going to show strong numbers.
Ms. Stefanik said her campaign is going very well, noting that the county committees that supported her before Mr. Doheny entered the race have all re-endorsed her.

Read: Trying To Break The Union and Getting More
Following the end of the CBA talks on Wednesday, Carp from Rangers Report sent out some tweets about the state of negotiations and what could be next.
He writes "Part of the negotiating process at this level is getting the other side to bend. By playing bully, NHL will get even more from the players."
He adds that in the eyes of the NHL, they shouldn't settle for this because they will end up with a better deal.
Carp wrote in another tweet "This latest episode will greatly test the players' resolve. I'd bet there will be some splintering within the union."

LAMOINE, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- State police are continuing to look into why a man from Lamoine shot and killed his father and uncle on Tuesday before he was fatally shot by police.
Investigators were back on the scene Wednesday at 16 Bobolink Lane in Lamoine, where they say 27-year-old Leon Tilden shot and killed his father Robert Tilden and uncle Russell Pinkham. The gunman was later shot by a state police detective and died from his wounds at Eastern Maine Medical Center.
Investigators are still trying to determine why Tilden killed the two men. Stan Olencki lives across the road from the Tilden's farm. He says he knew Robert Tilden well saying he was a man who used to work hard to support his family.
Tilden used to work as a clam digger but also made a living off of his farm.
"Had his own garden...raised his own chickens...and sheep and things like that to provide for his family," said Olencki, "and I couldn't ask for a better friend or a better man."
Leon Tilden did not have much of a criminal history in Hancock County. His last arrest came in 2007 for driving with a suspended license.
The Maine Attorney General's Office is investigating to see if police were justified in using lethal force against him.

You may have read the recent news stories about the disappointing performance of U.S. students on an international science and math exam.1 The future of biomedical research and the health of this nation both hinge on getting young people excited about science and health. Unfortunately, too many of them are leaving school without the analytical skills they need to be successful in today's economy, much less to become competitive researchers. Here at NIH, we are taking a multifaceted approach to engaging students from diverse populations in science and inspiring some of them to choose careers in research. However, there is only so much that we can do from Bethesda. Our best hope for making a broad impact on the children of this nation would be to have a grassroots movement of scientists across the country, rallying for improved science education in their own communities.
At the end of this Desk-to-Desk, I will suggest ways that you might use the tools developed at NIH to partner with local teachers and officials, and help revitalize American science education. I hope that many of you rise to this challenge. If those of us already passionate about science don't carry the torch, who will?
Science education has been a concern in this country since the launch of Sputnik in 1957. Seeing our biggest adversary beat us into space lit a fire under American policy makers, educators, and the public. However, as detailed in books such as Thomas Friedman's The World Is Flat and the National Academy of Science's Rising Above the Gathering Storm, that fire desperately needs to be rekindled. 2, 3 American leadership in science and technology is once again at risk.
The performance of U.S. students is behind most other rich nations in the world—and quite a few that aren't rich. A 2003 study by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) compared the problem-solving abilities of 15-year-old students from 40 nations around the world. (See the graph below.) The U.S. placed 29th. More than half of our children scored in the range that suggests they will have serious difficulties as they enter the workforce or even try to face the normal challenges of adulthood. American students were less than half as likely as students in the top-performing nations to achieve the highest level of problem-solving performance. (For more about the PISA and other education assessments, please see Appendix I in the new guide Scientists in Science Education. (PDF - 308 KB)
I believe that we scientists can agree that this is not what we want for our children, for our nation, or for the future of our field.
Figure from Problem Solving for Tomorrow's World. Countries are ranked in descending order of percentage of 15-year-olds at the two highest levels of proficiency (Levels 2 and 3, above the 0 line). Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member nations are depicted with a black font and non-members with a colored font. A larger version of this graph is available at the Web site http://science.education.nih.gov/pisa. The entire report can be downloaded at the Web site http://www.oecd.org/document/54/0,3343,en_32252351_32236173_34002550_1_1_1_1,00.html.
Obviously, the next generation of biomedical researchers needs to be taught science, but why worry about everyone else? There are a few good reasons. Economists have estimated that as much as half of the post-World War II growth in GDP in the U.S. is attributable to technological progress that resulted from research and development. The world economy is changing, and with it, the skills that will be demanded in the promising jobs and the productive workforce of tomorrow. The international competition for a greater share of the wealth is heating up.4 It is important for our citizens to understand more math and science than they ever have in the past, if we dream of continuing the American tradition of leadership.
Labor economists are now warning that more than half of our children may leave school without the skills they need to enter the middle class.5 Business reports such as Building a Nation of Learners and Tapping America's Potential are suggesting that many companies are having increasingly difficult times finding the employees with the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and communications skills they need to do their jobs. 6, 7 A rigorous education in math and science can help prepare all students for good jobs, even those who will never wear a white lab coat. I encourage each of you to familiarize yourself with the National Academy of Science's recent report Rising Above the Gathering Storm, which discusses many of these issues.3
Improving science education may improve not only a child's economic prospects, but his or her health status as well. Children who learn about health and the science that underpins it will be better equipped to make smart choices—about diets and exercise, about smoking and drugs, and about choosing lifestyles that will help keep them mentally and physically fit. They will grow into adults better able to pick the insurance plans and choose the treatment plans that best suit their needs and the needs of their families. Better science education is one key to a more participatory style of healthcare, which will engage individuals and communities in building a healthier society, understanding and minimizing health disparities, and reducing the suffering and costs associated with chronic disease for all Americans. We are working on this with our sister agencies in HHS and will be announcing some bold, new initiatives soon.
To many laypeople, science and technology are essentially one and the same. Many don't understand that science isn't about the high-tech devices we use or even what we choose to study. It is a way of knowing. It is a method of making sense of our world and of our universe. Science builds models of what is and tests hypotheses about what will be. At NIH, we use the tools of science to investigate human health and disease, and to improve the human condition. But we also recognize that the same thought processes we use can also propel our society, culture, and economy, making a brighter future for our children and our children's children.
Therefore, although we focus our primary efforts on efficiently finding and funding the best research today and work to ensure the health of the scientific enterprise of tomorrow, we also make strategic investments in broader K-12 science education. An excellent example is the NIH Curriculum Supplement Series-16 free, interactive modules for elementary, middle, and high schools that combine the latest science from our institutes and centers with state-of-the-art instructional approaches. The supplements are available free to educators at the Web site http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements. The supplements have been aligned to state and national science education standards so that teachers can fulfill their requirements, as they introduce students to the science surrounding important human health problems. More than 300,000 supplements have been distributed to date, each in response to a request from an educator. (Take a look at a map illustrating how the NIH curriculum supplement requests correspond to population density across the U.S. at this Web site http://science.education.nih.gov/map.) While we are thrilled by the broad interest, we would love to see them in even wider use. There is always an "activation energy" required when trying something new, and even good teachers can be intimidated by working state-of-the-art science into their curriculum for the first time—especially in urban and rural environments where the appropriate tools and support may not be as readily available. That is where we hope you can help!
Thank you for all you are doing to advance medical science today and to ensure the vitality of the American scientific enterprise in the years to come. Please let me know if you have any comments on this Desk-to-Desk or on NIH's science education efforts. I am especially interested in hearing about your own experiences in promoting science education in your community—using the NIH curriculum supplements or however else you choose to get involved.
Please contact Bruce Fuchs, director of the NIH Office of Science Education, if you have questions about our science education efforts or if you need help with the science education projects you are considering (firstname.lastname@example.com).
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
I invite you to share any comments you have with me, directly, at email@example.com.

Fill your holiday stockings with laughter as the citizens of Tuna, Texas, come to Dixon for Christmas. Join the Tuna characters as they attempt to cope with the traumas and dramas of the holidays.
"A Tuna Christmas" by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, is a comedy set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas. The plot centers on the town's annual Christmas Yard Display Contest, won 14 times in a row by Vera Carp.
A mysterious "Christmas Phantom," known for vandalizing the yard displays, has the contestants on edge. Among the subplots are Stanley Bumiller's attempts to end his probation and leave Tuna; Bertha Bumiller's attempt to hold her family together at Christmas time; and Joe Bob Lipsey's struggle to mount successfully his production of "A Christmas Carol," despite the town controller of the electric company threatening to turn the lights off.
The play is both a commentary and satire of small town, Texas life and attitudes. "A Tuna Christmas" is the second in a series of comedic plays set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas (preceded by "Greater Tuna" and followed by "Red, White and Tuna" and "Tuna Does Vegas."

backup -c does a complete backup. backup --help will give you the other options.
Have a dialup modem and have spent hours bringing things up to date, way beyond my 7.2 disks, which I bought two months ago. So I want to back this work up and save it,
against the utter messup that newbies just seem to make.
Fresh Linux-formatted partition (hda1) for just this situation.
I think I need to backup home directory, and /etc and
poosibly even /root. (Would this save the updates,settings?)
Now, what app would do this best, and if a Terminal
command, I am still weak there. Would I have to do
it in sections of "cp X, cp Y, cp Z" or is there some amazing
ONE command that would do this?
I await your expertise. And Thanks.

I would backup /home, /etc, and /var/spool/up2date at least.
You could use tar and bzip2 for this.
tar -cjvf whatever.tar.bz2 /etc /home /var/spool/up2date
I was going to play with improving my bash scripting skills and write a script for this that will let you select the directories you want to backup and exclude certain files or directories. I will get around to this soon I hope. ;D

Okay, as I see it, here are my steps, guys, and THANKS,
really for helping..
I would 1)Name my partition "Backup", possibly
2) After establishing what needs to be backed
up, which looks like Home directory, /etc, and possibly
/root and ???
3) copy these to a folder and/or TAR them
4) mount the partition Backup (hda1)
5) copy folder and/or TAR to this partition
(NOT QUITE SURE of Command for this)
and then 6) umount the partition
and it is done. Am I correct?
I am such a newbie,
and don't even try to tell me that anything in Linux
is intuitive!
So check me out before I do something wrong.
Too bad that bash script isn't ready...

OOPS. Sorry. Was looking at the SCO Unix Nutshell by mistake.Originally Posted by JimH
Except that I put the cart before the horse. Unexpected detour. I made the partition, but Linux can't see it, hda1, and so I can't even mount it. And I need to rename it, but I can't mount it to rename it, or is it rename it to remount it?You could use tar and bzip2 for this.
It's confusing...Like a Catch-22. Anybody here old enough
to know what that is? Okay, so I'm an old newbie!
So, I'm getting to be a cranky old newbie...don't want
to pass on before I get it running...
You have to add an entry for the partition in your /etc/fstab.
Format for an entry:
device mount point filesytem type mount options fsck dump
/dev/hda1 /whatever ext3 defaults 1 2
You can also use this format:
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
You can add a label to the partition when you create the filesystem. This would create an ext3 filesystem on /dev/hda6, named /example
mke2fs -j -L /example /dev/hda6
You can change the label with e2label
e2label /dev/hda6 /newlabel
You might look at the manpages for mke2fs, e2label, mount
Jim H
Jim and others,
I successfully added the partition.
But it was ext2...Hadn't seen your reply here yet.
When I tried to just change the /fstab (newbie thinking)
to read ext3 and did a reboot, I got a lot of RED.
So I changed it back to ext2, and haven't seen a
But haven't actually tried to copy anything to it yet.
And when I came back here, found this answer on
how to make the partition ext3...
Is this necessary? If so, Jim, thanks for anticipating my
problem. (I used Partition Commander to format the
partition and it doesn't have an ext3 option,btw.)

By E.J. Crawford, USTA.com
It will be a busy Saturday for Americans around the grounds of Melbourne Park, with Eric Butorac, Stefan Kozlov and David Wagner all playing for Australian Open titles.
Kozlov, the No. 2 seed, will kick off the day's play against world junior No. 1 Alexander Zverev of Germany in the boys' singles championship match. On Friday, Kozlov advanced to the final with a 2-6, 7-6, 6-3 victory in the semifinals over No. 7 seed Quentin Halys of France. After winning the tiebreak to draw even, the 15-year-old who works out of the USTA Training Center Headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., raced out to a 3-0 lead in the third set to put the match out of reach.
This will mark the first Grand Slam final for Kozlov, who knocked off Zverev en route to the final of the Orange Bowl and the quarterfinals at the Wimbledon juniors in 2013.
Butorac and partner Raven Klaasen of South Africa will close down the day's play in the men's doubles final against the No. 14-seeded pair of Lukasz Kubot of Poland and Robert Lindstedt of Sweden. Butorac and Klaasen will be attempting to complete an improbable run to the title that has included wins over former US Open singles champions Lleyton Hewitt and Patrick Rafter; the most decorated doubles team in tennis history, Bob and Mike Bryan; as well as the No. 15 seeds Jamie Murray and John Peers; the No. 12 seeds Treat Huey and Dominic Inglot; and the No. 8 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic, who have paired to win three Grand Slam men's doubles titles.
With a victory Saturday, Butorac and Klaasen would become just the third unseeded team in the Open era to win the men's doubles title, joining Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek (2012) and Stefan Edberg and Petr Korda (1996).
Also Saturday, David Wagner will attempt to defend his Australian Open quad singles title when he takes on Lucas Sithole of South Africa in a rematch of the 2013 US Open Wheelchair Tennis Competition final won by Sithole. Wagner defeated Sithole in round-robin play earlier in the week, 7-6, 7-6, and he also teamed with Great Britain's Andrew Lapthorne to defeat Sithole and Australia's Dylan Alcott, 6-4, 6-4, in the Australian Open quad doubles final.

New York state recently awarded Jefferson County nearly $300,000 in Public Safety Answering Point grants to help upgrade its 911 capabilities, but its not enough, according to county officials, primarily because the bulk of the money is being spent on the state police instead of emergency call centers.
Proposed state legislation would change that.
911 is very, very expensive. The money is being provided by taxpayers and the state is raiding it, said Jefferson County Emergency Management Director Joseph D. Plummer. Its very frustrating.
The money comes from a public safety communications surcharge all state residents must pay on their wireless phone bills.
As of December, that surcharge was $1.20 per wireless device per month, according to the state Department of Taxation and Finance.
That money is meant to fund public communications systems. The way the tax law is written, however, most of the money $25.5 million goes to the state police.
Thats a problem, Mr. Plummer said, especially when the state police are cutting back on dispatchers.
Emergency management officials want to see the money go where it was intended to go, he said.
There are bills in the state Senate and Assembly to change the way the money is distributed.
The money collected from the surcharge is distributed according to dollar amounts, with $25.5 million to the state police, $1.5 million to the state revolving loan fund and at least $10 million to the counties.
Proposed legislation would change the distribution model from dollar amounts to a percentage-based formula, with 58.3 percent going to the counties and 41.7 percent split between the state police and the revolving loan fund.
The bill is sponsored by 23 legislators in the Assembly, including Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, and William A. Barclay, R-Pulaski, and 16 in the Senate, including Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, and Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton. The legislation has five Democratic sponsors in the Assembly and two in the Senate.
In the Assembly, members referred the bill to the Ways and Means Committee in February. No further action has been taken.
The Senate bill advanced to its third reading in the Finance Committee as of Wednesday.
Right now, a large chunk of wireless surcharge funds are being diverted to the states general fund not going to the local governments that need to make improvements to their public safety operations ... The bill Im co-sponsoring would help raise the percentage that counties receive from the surcharge and help emergency volunteers and professionals access the resources they need to be the lifeline that people in communities across New York state rely on to keep them safe, Sen. Ritchie wrote in an emailed statement Monday.
At the 911 Coordinators Conference in Oswego County last week, Sen. Ritchie pledged to work on fixing the surcharge issue.
Measures initially included in the 2013-14 state budget to raise the percentage counties receive from the surcharge or allow counties to raise their own revenues for 911 services were unsuccessful.
Jefferson County hoped to receive $600,000 to upgrade the countys emergency call center to handle digital communications such as text, data, images and video. The nearly $300,000 grant it received was good news but not enough to get the job done, Mr. Plummer said.

BUFFALO, NY - Crystal Walker lost her daughter, Isabella Tennant five months ago. The beautifullittle girl was taken away from her and now, Crystal is turning her pain and grief into help and hope.
Crystal Walker tells us the past five months have been a nightmare. She remembers every detail of that awful day last August. Crystal came home from work to her grandmother's house to crawl into bed with her little girl, but Bella was missing. Isabella's body was found a few hours later.
Crystal says every day is filled with a roller coaster of emotions. She has, at times, had a very difficult time even going on. Crystal credits an incredible support system for helping her survive this nightmare. Now, this brave mother is turning her grief and loss into an amazing tribute to her little girl.
Crystal has started Bella's Tea Party. It is a non-profit organization with a goal of raising money to buy tea sets and giving those sets out to sick children all around the country. Crystal will team up with Women and Children's and other local hospitals. Crystal says Bella would love this idea because she has a big heart.
You can find information on www.bellasteaparty.org. The site will be up in the next day or two. They also have a Facebook Page. All donations go toward the purchase and distribution of the tea sets.
Bella's Tea Party
125 Galleria Drive
PO Box 145
Cheektowaga, NY 14225
$10.00 will purchase one tea set for a sick little girl. The tea sets are durable and PVC/BPA free and food safe. Crystal says her goal is to have enough tea sets to make a trip to St. Jude's Hospital and have a tea party in June for what would have been Bella's sixth birthday.

Earls Court was a waste ground for years. With the introduction of two stations, it became a mass network of railways on derelict grounds. The idea of bringing entertainment to the grounds was brought up by entrepreneur, John Robinson Whitley, who used the land as a show ground. Good fortune was not with Whitley, he did not make a single penny from his efforts. Whitley's desire had decided the future of Earls Court and its purpose in later years. In 1935 the land was sold; the new owners decided to construct a show center to rival any other in the world and to dominate "The Village Hall" up the road, affectionately known as 'Olympia' by the management. The plan was to create Europe's largest structure by volume. The project did not go exactly to plan; it ran over budget and was late in completion. Earls Court finally opened its door to the public for the chocolate and confectionery exhibition in September 1937. A Motor Show and Commercial Vehicle show soon followed.
Despite problems in construction, the project was still completed in time. At a cost of 1.5 million pounds, it was a marvel of architectural feat, and it still is today. In response to the need to increase Earls Court's exhibition space, Earls Court Two was constructed. The striking new barrel-roofed hall links Earls Court One by folding shutters in large enough to hold four jumbo jets and is entirely column-free. The hall was opened by Diana, Princess of Wales on 17 October 1991.

Revision history:
1.0 - Official release
1.1 - Fixed the script, forgot to include the end fi's
1.2 - Ftrace changed URL - Thank you Dunbar for pointing that out
So, you have you brand new LFS system running, and now you are wondering - how do I get about installing software and/or removing it easily since we don't have any package management. The answer is to use a program called ftrace (a clone of the populare installwatch). You can get it here http://freshmeat.net/releases/8359/ , if the link is dead, check with Freshmeat. This program however won't compile or even work on our standard LFS system.
So you will need to issue a: chgrp root /usr/bin/make
and edit the ftrace.c file with your favorite editor (it's in the ftrace source dir.) and replace
with:Code:#if (defined(LINUX_GLIBC) || defined(SOLARIS_LIBC)) lib = RTLD_NEXT; #else lib = dlopen("/lib/libc.so.5", RTLD_LAZY);
Now compile the software with ./configure && make && make install as usual.Code:#if (defined(LINUX_GLIBC) || defined(SOLARIS_LIBC)) lib = dlopen("/lib/libc.so.6", RTLD_LAZY); #else lib = dlopen("/lib/libc.so.6", RTLD_LAZY);
now we make some logging directories for keeping track of software.
Now whenever you install some software from source, issue the command:Code:mkdir /var/install mkdir /var/uninstall
which will make ftrace log the files that are installed by the command make install, and place the log in /var/install.Code:./configure && make && ftrace -i /var/install \ /programname-version make install
Now to remove some stuff we need a neat script which a friend of mine and former member of this forum (Ralinx) wrote:
Save this as /usr/local/bin/nukeCode:#! /bin/bash if [ "$1" == "" ] then echo "Usage: $0 <ftrace_logfile>" exit 1 else if [ $UID -eq "0" ] then echo "Removing $1..." echo "Uninstalling $1..." > /var/uninstall/$1 echo "These files were removed:" >> /var/uninstall/$1 for a in `cat /var/install/$1` do echo $a >> /var/uninstall/$1 rm -rf $a done echo "Finished" echo "Check /var/uninstall/$1 to see which files were deleted" rm -rf /var/install/$1 else echo "only root can execute this script" exit 1 fi fi
Now to uninstall stuff, run:Code:chmod +x /usr/local/bin
The script will log which files are removed in the /var/uninstall/ dir. for troubleshooting.Code:nuke programname-version
Now wasn't that easy ?
Kudos going to: Ralinx (Davy Brion) for writing the nuke script.

I wasn't sure where I should post this because it's not a question. I just wanted to tell everyone that after almost a year of paper work, waivers, and a ton of other road blocks, I have finally enlisted into the KY National Guard!! This should be a testament to all the prospective soldiers, don't give up until you have exhausted every last avenue possible if this is what you truly want. I was told no many times and that my issues would take a long time to resolve and we would need lots of paper work and docements and so forth. So after changing states ( form Ohio, my home state),and finding an awesome recruiter, I have reason to celebrate. Enlisting on my birthday made it even better!! Thanks to everyone who answered a lot of my questions over the last few months. It has helped so much. I will be headed to Ft. Leonard Wood and have enlisted as a 31B.

I recently read something about use of statistics within MLB front offices and it appears 10 or 12 use a ton of statistics when evaluating players. Wondering if WAR is among them.
My understanding is that virtually every team uses WAR as a primary statistical indicator.
The figure I think you're mentioning is the 10-12 teams that are considerably more statistically inclined than other teams, having developed their own proprietary statistics and making decisions based upon those moreso than would be traditionally expected.
That would make sense. It would not surprise me if WAR was used but teams had different ways of evaluating the defensive and pitching sides of it.

Snowy owls make Oregon home for winter
EUGENE, Ore. - They're white as snow, they're small - and they're sure cute.
"Only the snowy owls have feathers that I think look like moccasins," said Kit Lacy, education director at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene.
For whatever reasons, the snowy owls have set up camp in Oregon and all over the west.
"I'm aware of individual birds being seen: One was seen near Fern Ridge Reservoir over there in Eugene. There was one in Albany; one near Newport," said Roy Lowe from the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge.
He said the owls started arriving in November.
The only snowy owl you are sure to see in south Eugene is in his own enclosure: Archimedes at the Cascades Raptor Center. Why his buddies are here is pretty much (pun intended) up in the air.
"Everyone thinks they're down here because they are starving and there's no evidence - no scientific evidence of that at all," Lacy said.
She said this phenomenon happens about every 5 years when the owls venture this far south.
"The food might be just fine; it might just be that there's a lot of snowy owls from this season's breeding." says Lacy.
There have been sightings of snowy owls around the mid-valley, a few in Eugene and at least one sighting near or at the Eugene Airport.
"The very open country of the airport area is a great hunting ground for snowy owls," Lacy said.
Scientists say the owls will likely call Oregon home all through the winter - but if you see one, don't get too close.
"They are great birds to see. They're beautiful," said Lowe. "If people do see them we ask that they keep a safe distance away and don't affect the behavior of the bird."
He said snowy owls have also been spotted in Bend, Burns and at the north Oregon Coast near Seaside.
They're not on any endangered list but are state and federally protected, Lowe said.

I am not only hunting my own lost cousins, I am hoping to be a resource for your hunt too. As time goes on, I hope to add some pages of advice and resources. If there is any demand I will also include a page for people to add their wanted cousins - could be a list or maybe a forum. As I become more savvy with writing on the Internet I am getting to grips with how to make my work more visible - and when you are looking for someone , you want to be visible. One thing I am sure of is that Blogger ranks highly with Google, so when I write the names of the people I am looking for on my blogs, those names will be highly visible in the search rankings to people who are looking for them. I would like to make this blog highly visible as a resource for finding lost cousins and in doing so, make it a worthwhile place for you to add your "wanted" names too.

Hi Judi,
Love the idea of your blog--I, too, blog as "cousin bait," hoping that cousins on both sides of the family will find me. I wrote about that last December: http://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2010/12/treasure-chest-thursday-cousin-bait.html
Good luck and I'm looking forward to hearing who you find! - Marian

Jello Biafra talked about Provo Canyon School on his first spoken word cd "No More Cocoons" in 1987- and it's still torturing and warping its young inmates- er, students. One of its victims forwarded us the following information.

01/12/04: United Auto Workers, AFSCME, and Punkvoter.com unite!
United Auto Workers (UAW), and America Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) have joined forces with Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and Punkvoter.com in order to draw the nation's youth into the political process. UAW and AFSCME are excited to participate in the effort to ensure America's younger generation realizes what is at stake for working families. Both AFSCME Iowa and UAW Iowa have suffered severe job losses because of the Bush Administration's ruthless tax cuts and protection of the wealthy at the cost of working families.
"Iowa has lost over 30,000 good paying jobs in the manufacturing sector and Bush has done nothing. Our families have been deeply hurt in the heartland and we are glad to see Punkvoter taking action and bringing the story to our country's youth," said Dave Neal, of UAW. "We must encourage young voters to participate in the dialogue more - we need their help and their spirit in the fight for working families"
"It is time all of our country starts to speak out. From farmers and factory workers to punk rockers. George Bush has mortgaged our children's futures with his tax cuts for the wealthy, if they want don't want to inherit the debt Bush is passing on to them, they need to get involved", said Marcia Nichols of AFSCME.
Punkvoter is the nation's largest coalition of punk and music-related organizations and individuals uniting to expose the problems of the George W. Bush Administration, including Jello Biafra, Alternative Tentacles, and mail male Jesse Luscious. For more information about Punkvoter visit them here!
O'Neill, who, as Bush's top economic official, was a permanent member of the National Security Council, was asked to resign in 2002 after threatening to publically oppose Bush's second round of major tax cuts. In the book, O'Neill says that the president did not make decisions in a methodical way: there was no free-flow of ideas or open debate. At cabinet meetings, he says the president was "like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people," a major difference from O'Neill's experiences in the Nixon and Ford Administrations.

The fruits and vegetables we eat are produced, almost without exception, in a world virtually unknown to US consumers. It is a world hidden from our view by the bright neon logos of the fast-food giants and the shining rows of neatly stacked produce lining the aisles of WalMart supercenters from Miami to LA.It is also a world of extreme exploitation and human rights violations.
In 2001, the CIW called for a national boycott of Taco Bell, demanding that the multi-billion dollar corporation recognize its role in the exploitation of farmworkers who pick its produce and take steps to clean up human rights violations in its supply chain.
With public attention to the modern-day slavery and sweatshop conditions in Florida's fields at an all-time high, this year's action promises to be the most powerful yet in this growing, grassroots campaign. The highlight of the 2004 Tour will be a three-day march, from East LA to Irvine. From March 2-4, Immokalee workers will be joined by allies from across the country on the 40-mile march, taking the boycott to millions of consumers on Southern California streets. The march will culminate in a huge, day-long rally on March 5th -- a political, musical, cultural festival that will shake the foundations of a fast-food industry built on the exploitation of workers and consumers alike.
From the FCC decision:"Indecency findings involve.. two fundamental determinations. First, the material alleged to be indecent... must describe or depict sexual or excretory organs or activities. Second, the broadcast must be patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards... The material aired during the ``Golden Globe Awards'' program does not describe or depict sexual and excretory activities and organs. The word ``fucking'' may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities. Rather, the performer used the word ``fucking'' as an adjective or expletive to emphasize an exclamation... The use of specific words, including expletives or other ``four letter words'' does not render material obscene."

The service, which was launched last month, is available in the U.K. It is among the first to use handset identification capabilities of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) technology for locating children's phones within cell-based networks... Parents with computers can go to the ChildLocate portal where, after entering their password, they can tap in the phone number of their child's phone and view a map showing the child's location within 25 seconds."
Government agencies are already tracking people through cell phone technology. After all, the Global Positioning System (GPS) within cell phones is used for "911"/emergency calls. The question is, do the law enforcement agencies in your country also use the GPS or GSM for illegal or unjustified surveillance?
Bruce was charged after reportedly using 100 obscene words during a freewheeling set at Cafe Au Go Go, a Greenwich Village nightclub that was staked out by an army of plainclothes police officers... Bruce was known for his lacerating, often brilliant comedic attacks on a host of sacred cows, ranging from the pope and organized religion to Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy. He didn't seem to care whom he offended, and his comedy routines were liberally sprinkled with four-letter words. Long before late-night comics stretched the bounds of taste and decency, he spoke bluntly about sex, racism and other taboo topics. " (Los Angeles Times)
Los Altos Hils based college radio station KFJC set the world record this past weekend by broadcasting Wesley Willis music, interviews, and related content non-stop for 24 hours.
The show, which started Saturday night December 20, 2003 at 9pm and ended Sunday December 21st at 9pm was put together by Dominic Trix and Trinity from the station with help from former AT General Manager Uli Elser. The show was a celebration of Wesley Willis' life, who passed away this past August at the age of 40 of complications from leukemia. The day-long affair featured music from over 50 Wesley Willis CDs, most of which are not in circulation, as well as a few cover-versions of his songs. It also featured interviews with Wesley's brother Michael, Jello Biafra and numerous other friends of Wesleys'.

Bush's daughter Barbara was spotted recently having a gay old time at a concert by all-gay punk band Pansy Division. Barbara and friends cozied up in the back room drinking, while out front the band screamed their queer hearts out. The band reportedly dedicated their rabid anti-Bush song, Political Asshole, to the first daughter during the show. Daddy's just got to love that.
11/03/03: CNN covers PunkVoter.Com!
Punk Voter Dot Com, the political advocacy group started by Fat Mike/NOFX and joined by, among a host of others, Jello Biafra and Alternative Tentacles Records, has made the web version of CNN:
"'Punkvoter' founder aims to unify youth vote", Sasha Johnson, CNN Political Unit, Monday, November 3, 2003
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Would a plea from the lead singer of Anti-Flag, Bouncing Souls, Frenzal Rhomb or Sick Of It All get you to turn out and vote in the 2004 presidential election?
Probably not if you're a mainstream music fan downloading the latest tune from Britney Spears. But, if you're an avid young punk music lover, it just might do the trick.
At least that's what NOFX lead singer and founder of "Punkvoter" Mike Burkett is hoping. Burkett or "Fat Mike" as he's known to his legion of fans, is teaming up with roughly 50 punk bands and a dozen record labels to form Punkvoter, a group designed to register, educate and push 500,000 18-24 year-olds to the polls next year.

Congrats to Fleshies and Phantom Limbs for winning the 2003 SF Weekly Music Awards !!!!
We are all amazed that 2 of our bands won considering that there are thousands of local bands in the Bay Area - many of which that are in the same category that our band's won in Punk (Fleshies) and Rock / Indie Rock (Phantom Limbs).
Phantom Limbs just returned from their US tour in support of their new album Displacement and Fleshies are on a hiatus after releasing their latest album The Sicilian in April and touring for 4 months (!) in support of that.
10/14/03: U.S. Soldiers Sending Form Letters on Iraq War ?
The Olympian Online
From : http://www.theolympian.com/home/news/20031011/frontpage/121390.shtml
WASHINGTON -- Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country as U.S. public opinion on the mission sours.
And all the letters are the same.
A Gannett News Service search found identical letters from different soldiers with the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, also known as "The Rock," in 11 newspapers, including Snohomish, Wash.
The Olympian received two identical letters signed by different hometown soldiers: Spc. Joshua Ackler and Spc. Alex Marois, who is now a sergeant. The paper declined to run either because of a policy not to publish form letters.
The five-paragraph letter talks about the soldiers' efforts to re-establish police and fire departments, and build water and sewer plants in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, where the unit is based.
"The quality of life and security for the citizens has been largely restored, and we are a large part of why that has happened," the letter reads.
It describes people waving at passing troops and children running up to shake their hands and say thank you.
It's not clear who wrote the letter or organized sending it to soldiers' hometown papers.
Six soldiers reached by GNS directly or through their families said they agreed with the letter's thrust. But none of the soldiers said he wrote it, and one said he didn't even sign it.
Marois, 23, told his family he signed the letter, said Moya Marois, his stepmother. But she said he was puzzled why it was sent to the newspaper in Olympia. He attended high school in Olympia but no longer considers the city home, she said. Moya Marois and Alex's father, Les, now live near Kooskia, Idaho.
A seventh soldier didn't know about the letter until his father congratulated him for getting it published in the local newspaper in Beckley, W.Va.
"When I told him he wrote such a good letter, he said: 'What letter?' " Timothy Deaconson said Friday, recalling the phone conversation he had with his son, Nick. "This is just not his (writing) style."
He spoke to his son, Pfc. Nick Deaconson, at a hospital where he was recovering from a grenade explosion that left shrapnel in both his legs.
Sgt. Christopher Shelton, who signed a letter that ran in the Snohomish Herald, said Friday that his platoon sergeant had distributed the letter and asked soldiers for the names of their hometown newspapers. Soldiers were asked to sign the letter if they agreed with it, said Shelton, whose shoulder was wounded during an ambush earlier this year.
"Everything it said is dead accurate. We've done a really good job," he said by phone from Italy, where he was preparing to return to Iraq.
Sgt. Todd Oliver, a spokesman for the 173rd Airborne Brigade, which counts the 503rd as one of its units, said he was told a soldier wrote the letter, but he didn't know who. He said the brigade's public affairs unit was not involved.
"When he asked other soldiers in his unit to sign it, they did," Oliver explained in an e-mail response to a GNS inquiry. "Someone, somewhere along the way, took it upon themselves to mail it to the various editors of newspapers across the country."
Lt. Col. Bill MacDonald, a spokesman for the 4th infantry Division that is heading operations in north-central Iraq, said he had not heard about the letter-writing campaign.
Neither had Lt. Cmdr. Nick Balice, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.
A recent poll suggests that Americans are increasingly skeptical of America's prolonged involvement in Iraq. A USA Today-CNN-Gallup Poll released Sept. 23 found 50 percent believe that the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over, down from 73 percent in April.

10/14/03: D.O.A. Celebrate 25th Anniversary
D.O.A., Canada's most influential punk rock band, is beginning the celebration of their 25th Anniversary. Having influenced a couple of generations of punks and musicians and made a big impact on underground "people power" politics, D.O.A.will mark the occasion in a couple of special ways. Sudden Death Records (Canada's punk godfather Joey Shithead Keithley's own record label) will release the definitive D.O.A. album "War and Peace" a 26 track compilation of D.O.A.'s greatest recorded moments. War and Peace starts at the roots with "Disco Sucks", "The Enemy" and "Liar For Hire" right through to their modern blitzkrieg sound of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" and "Just Say No To The WTO".
D.O.A. will blast through live shows with their new rock solid lineup of Joey, The Great Baldini on drums and new bassist Damned Dan Yaremko (Econoline Crush, Bif Naked). This fall, Shithead's first book "I, Shithead, a life in punk" will be out on Arsenal Pulp Press. It is a definitive and raunchy look at punk and the spread of counter culture throughout western society. Sudden Death Records will also release this fall "Let's Start The Action" an electronic tribute to D.O.A. performed by 20 different artists from around the world and inspired by the anti-globalization movement. As well, Sudden Death has recently re-released D.O.A.'s first two albums "Something Better Change" and "Hardcore 81", recently picked as two of the top five Canadian punk rock albums of all time, by AMP Magazine. A full length documentary on D.O.A. "Talk-Action=0" is being developed by film maker Marcus Rogers (The Widower).
D.O.A. has travelled a long, tough road, that has taken them around the world and the raw energy continues. The band has never been more active, having recently released their second DVD, D.O.A.'s "Greatest Shits" and a split album with metal legend Thor ("Are U Ready"). Recently Mayor Larry Campbell of Vancouver declared December 21st to be " D.O.A. Day" in Vancouver. The band has also been featured in punk and political books published around the world. Come join in the power and non compromise that is D.O.A.(see tour dates on our Tour Dates page - thanks)

Personal Care & Hygiene
Manufacturing products that are applied to the body, such as cosmetics, fragrances and shampoo, require myriad testing not only for function but safety. Competition among manufacturers is fierce, as constant improvements are required to stay ahead of cultural trends and consumer demands. The manufacturing cycle is, therefore, intense and short.
The complex process of creating mixtures that will perform well under a variety of conditions — such as meso or micro mixing, crystallization, precipitation and suspension — is best achieved by using fluid dynamics for virtual testing. Such analysis allows product engineers to gather information such as effectiveness, product decomposition and performance under various conditions, which can be difficult to observe through traditional testing methods.
ANSYS offers an unequalled depth of solutions that can aid product engineers in the manufacturing process. A range of simulations can be set up to test for how a product will perform in various temperatures, and dilutions; multiple simulations together can provide a realistic statistical representation and characterization of performance of various formulations.
For example, one of the most critical parameters in blending a liquid is the time it takes to achieve the correct mixture. Using fluid dynamics analysis, mixing process simulation can be performed in an hour. Advanced simulations can take place over days and weeks, as opposed to months in more-traditional physical testing — reducing the time to market.
Emulsions, the basis of many personal care products, require that quality be maintained from production through shelf life. The concern that the texture of the emulsion will be altered during the course of preparation or packaging, or during shelf life, can be tested using 2-D and 3-D virtual simulation.
Another case in point: Producing products for use in an atomizer spray involves modeling the gas–liquid interface during the generation of droplets from a container through a nozzle. Simulation technology allows product designs to view atomization under varying operating conditions; engineers can then map out a design for the successful operation of the nozzle. Simulation provides an understanding of how the spray will affect the characteristics of the product, and helps in tailoring a nozzle design for the liquid being dispersed.
Nonisothermal interactions between complex fluids and the structural behavior of the packaging or manufacturing equipment can be applied to bottle squeeze, drop test, wicking, drying, gluing, printing and other models.
Using ANSYS software tools to predict how a product will hold up under various conditions allows manufacturers to get products to market as efficiently as possible, while meeting customer expectations for the best product at the best price.

Community Summit:For the sixth year running we, at OW2, are organizing the Community Summit at the Open World Forum (October 3-5, Paris). The Open World Forum Community Summit is an annual open workshop focusing on the growth and management of open source communities. This year, leaders and practitioners from free and open source software communities will discuss the opportunities and challenges of open source as a collaborative innovation platform. With no cumbersome IP negotiations, no costly contracts, and rules of engagement simply defined by the license attached to the code, open source software is a fantastic mechanism for sharing innovation efforts. Open source creates value and drives innovation in emerging markets such as cloud computing, big data, embedded systems, Internet of things, machine to machine, etc. But in these areas, the industry is increasingly characterized by the raise of complex, highly capital-intensive systems and multi-year innovation programs. Is the game changing for open source communities? Detailed description of the session here

The Massena Central and Norwood-Norfolk boys hockey teams skated to convincing NAC wins at their home rinks on Wednesday.
Massena 4, Islanders 1: At the Massena Arena, the host Raiders overcame a slow start with four unanswered goals in the second period for their second NAC win in as many games.
The Islanders opened the scoring with a power play goal at the 8:33 mark of the first period by Zach Walti off assists from Sean Shepard and Kyle Delaney. Ryan Moffitt sparked the second-period turnaround for the Raiders when he finished off a play set up by Cameron Marsh and Tyler Young just 2:29 into the middle frame. Brantley Adams then intercepted a lead pass near mid-ice and went in to score an unassisted goal that held up as the game winner at the 4:12 mark. Young made it 3-1 with a power play goal set up by Adams and Zach Robert at 9:22 before Young closed out the scoring with a wraparound goal assisted by Anthony Cortese and Zach Robert with just six seconds left in the period.
Connor Paquin made 14 saves backstopping the win while Cole James handled 35 shots in the losing cause.
The Islanders came out strong. They played very physical and skated hard, noted coach Mike Trimboli. It was just a matter of us making a few certain adjustments, getting refocused and coming out an playing our game.
Now 2-2 overall, the Raiders head to Fort Covington for a weekend tournament starting Friday night when they go up against Kenmore-East starting at 8:15 p.m. Host Salmon River faces Queensbury at 6 p.m. on Friday.
N-N 8, Tupper Lake 0: In a Division II matchup at Dominic Zappia Arena in Norfolk, the host Icemen worked their way to a 4-0 lead by the first intermission and never looked back for their first NAC win.
Cody Smith opened the scoring 7:32 into the game assisted by Brandon Short and Kaden Pickering then sealed the win when he completed a hattrick with 4:31 left in regulation assisted by Tristan Harvey and Kyler McIntyre. Short, Pickering and Harvey all finished with a goal and assist along with Austin Cousineau. Tristan St. Andrews netted the other N-N goal while Dan Fyckes, Tyler Fobare, Zeb Brown, Coby Munson, Shane Cryderman, Brandon Cousineau and Kyle Bond all contributed solo assists toward the winning effort.
Brandon Richards started between the pipes for the Icemen and posted seven saves through the first two period. McIntyre came on to stop two more shots in the third period in preserving the shutout. Marcus Richer (1 period, 23 saves) and Tyler Nelson (2 periods, 43 saves) split crease duties for the Lumberjacks.
The Icemen are slated to play on Friday at Division II rival OFA at 6:30 p.m.

9/28/2013 | Jacksonville, Fla. | Attendance: 220
Thursday, September 26, 2013
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Consistency is the key word for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons volleyball team.
This weekend the Purple and Gold, 7-4, 1-0 in the Atlantic Sun, return to conference play. Friday at 6 p.m. they face Jacksonville, 10-2, 1-1. Saturday they play North Florida, 3-9, 0-2 in the A-Sun.
"This is one of the most consistent teams we have ever had," Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "For us, as coaches, it is awesome to know where you are going to be at every day in every match.
"The credit goes to our players because they are able to get up for those matches and continue to bring it. If you play consistent in the beginning of the season and play consistent in the middle you are going to start separating yourself from the rest of the teams."
The Lady Bisons are averaging 15.71 kills per set. They are ranked No. 1 in the nation in the category for the second straight week.
Middle blocker Jewell Dobson remains in seventh place nationally with 4.8 kills per set. She has a total of 170.
The Lady Bisons are third in assists per set with 14.34. Setter Caitlin "Dot" Dotson is second in assists per set with 12.69.
Dobson is eighth in the nation with 5.3 points per set.
The Lady Bisons have impressive numbers but they head into the weekend working for ways to replace the numbers put up by middle blocker Molly Spitznagle, third on the team in kills with 94. Outside hitter Lauren Ford is second with 126.
Sptiznagle is out indefinitely after spraining an ankle during warm-ups for the match with Kentucky last Saturday.
"We have given a time frame that is very general," Rosenthal said. "Alicia Grover, our trainer, has done an outstanding job for us the past two seasons. I firmly believe it will be sooner rather than later.
"Molly wants to get back. There is a sense of urgency for her. She doesn't like being injured."
Rosenthal is taking a team approach to filling in the gap. He points to five players – outside hitters Ford and Brittnay Estes and middle blockers Dobson, Katie Bradley and Claire Peterson.
"We have players who have to change or detour their roles a little bit," Rosenthal said. "The outsides have to take on more. Jewell has to maybe go up one more level. Claire and Brittnay have to do a little bit more. Katie Bradley is going to get more and more looks.
"Defensively, and passing-wise we have to do more. Our margin of era is smaller now. So it becomes this idea of it's not just one person jumping in. It is a whole team thing and we have got this. It is coach talk to say `all hands on deck', but it has to be at this point."
Bradley is making the biggest move in terms of possible playing time. Even though she is a freshman, Rosenthal thinks Bradley is ready for the challenge.
"Most of it stems from her competitiveness," Rosenthal said. "That fire is building inside her.
"She is getting an opportunity. She has been working her way into getting more time. She has to get comfortable with the speed of the game. That will take care of itself as she plays more."
Jacksonville is led by outside hitter Sammie Strausbaugh with 141 kills and 126 digs. Middle blocker Kylie Jacob has 108 kills and outside hitter Gabriela Roman has 105. Libero Rachel Miller has posted 111 digs followed by outside hitter Tyler Nyquist with 109.
"Jacksonville is playing some consistent volleyball and sometimes consistent teams are the most dangerous," Rosenthal said. "It should be interesting to see."
North Florida is paced by outside hitter Anna Budinska with 148 kills and 111 digs. Defensive specialist Cari Whitmire is tops on the team in digs with 178.
"North Florida's record doesn't indicate who they are," Rosenthal said. "They have a really young team. We definitely won't take them lightly."
Rosenthal stressed that playing the next two matches on the road will not be a factor for his team.
"We are getting into the rhythm of the season and there is some relief to that," Rosenthal said. "We have a pretty good routine with this. Our formula is good. This is something we are looking forward to doing.
"Going on the road will be interesting for the new girls. But for the older girls this is what they are geared for."
