Utilizes a proven planetary gear drive, variable stator and turbine to rotate the nozzle.
Only two male-threaded nozzles and two female-threaded nozzles are required to cover radius range from 14-26 feet (4,3m-8,0m) and arc range from 45-360°.
These nozzles deliver water more slowly and evenly than standard spray nozzles. The precipitation rate of 0.55"/hr. (14 mm/hr.) helps prevent excess run times often set to stay within watering windows.
The gear drive mechanism delivers a consistent speed of rotation regardless of system pressure and prevents product stalling at low pressure.

In Les Misérables, an obsessed French police officer, Javert, relentlessly pursues Jean Valjean, a man who represents no danger to society but whose minor infraction brought down the wrath of the brutal government, including 19 years of hard labor and a lifetime of parole.
America, too, has its Javerts. Zealous and ruthless federal prosecutors have the power to torment people for trivial or imagined offenses, threatening them with decades of barbaric confinement. The consequences can be tragic even when the case is not seen through to completion. Take the example of Aaron Swartz.
Swartz faced 13 counts under the 1984 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and, if convicted, could have faced 35 years in federal prison and a million-dollar fine. Earlier this month the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts, Carmen Ortiz, and assistants Stephen P. Heymann and Scott L. Garland refused a plea bargain with no jail time.
On January 11 Swartz hanged himself. He was 26.
"He was killed by the government," the Chicago Sun-Times quoted Robert Swartz, father of Aaron, as saying after the funeral. (Aaron publicly spoke of being depressed.) A family statement added, "The U.S. Attorney's office pursued an exceptionally harsh array of charges, carrying potentially over 30 years in prison, to punish an alleged crime that had no victims."
What did this young man do to prompt this relentless pursuit? Using the MIT computer network, he downloaded too many published scholarly articles (over four million) from JSTOR, a nonprofit database of academic journals, which charges nonacademics for access. Among his methods, Swartz planted a laptop in a closet at MIT without permission.
For this he was threatened with decades of imprisonment and the life-long stigma of being a felon. Perpetrators of financially significant crimes with victims are not treated so harshly. Why did this happen?

At the United States of Hockey, Chris Peters writes that Brady Skjei had some struggles during Team USA's exhibition win over Sweden today.
Peters says that Skjei got a lot of ice time, made some questionable decisions, but got better as the game went along.
He adds that he isn't sure that Skjei did enough today to move him off the bubble and guarantee a roster for Team USA.
The question with Skjei is whether he is ready for this tournament and Peters says that he isn't so sure that he is right now.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - The Buffalo Bills signed quarterback EJ Manuel to a rookie contract, the team announced on Friday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Associated Press reports it is a four year deal worth $8.9-million with an option for a fifth year.
Manuel was the Bills first round draft choice (16th Overall) in April's NFL Draft.
Manuel is expected to compete with Kevin Kolb for the starting quarterback position. That competition is down to two players with the Bills decision to release veteran Tarvaris Jackson on Monday, ensuring that both Manuel and Kolb would get an increased number of reps.
The Bills did not make Manuel available to the local media after announcing the deal.
The Bills sent out a news release on Friday afternoon to announce the signing. You can read it below:
The Buffalo Bills today announced the signing of first-round draft selection (16th overall) QB EJ Manuel. In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Manuel led Florida State to a 25-6 record as a starter - the third-most wins in school history - and became the second quarterback in FBS history to win four consecutive bowl games (West Virginia QB Pat White). He ended his career as the school's all-time leader in completion percentage (66.9) and ranks among the top five in Seminoles history for passing yards (7,736 - 3rd), total offense (8,563 - 3rd), completions (600 - 4th) and passing attempts (897 - 5th).
The Bills have now signed all eight of their 2013 draft picks.

The original Benrinnes was sited almost a mile south-east of today's distillery. Built on the Whitehouse Farm in 1826 by Peter McKenzie, the distillery was completely destroyed just three years later, after a great flood laid waste to the buildings. In 1835, a new distillery was built, sited on the side of its namesake, the 840m peak which looms over Speyside. Alongside four other distilleries, Benrinnes draws its water from springs on the mountain, tapping the Rowantree and Scurran Burns. Following a devastating fire at the end of the nineteenth century, BenRinnes was rebuilt, converting to electric power. The distillery has an unusual distillation method; the six stills are used to partially triple-distil the make. Benrinnes made use of a Saladin Box maltings system from 1964. In 1984, it was decommissioned and malt was bought in instead. Despite the long history of Benrinnes, there has only been one official bottling - in 1991 a fifteen year-old was released. Save for a few independent bottlings, the majority of the spirit has been used in blends, notably Johnnie Walker and J&B. Today, single malt whiskies from Benrinnes remain a rare treat. The distillery is currently under Diageo ownership.

The first Benrinnes distillery is built at Whitehouse Farm by Peter McKenzie.
A flood destroys the distillery.
A new distillery, Lyne of Ruthrie, is constructed a few kilometres from the first one. The owner John Innes files for bankruptcy and William Smith & Company takes over.
William Smith & Company goes bankrupt and David Edward becomes the new owner.
Benrinnes is ravaged by fire which prompts major refurbishment and rebuilding including electrification. David Edward dies and his son Alexander Edward takes over. Alexander also founds the distilleries Dallas Dhu, Aultmore and Craigellachie and purchases Oban.
John Dewar & Sons takes over ownership.
John Dewar & Sons becomes part of Distillers Company Limited (DCL).
DCL transfers management and operations to Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD).
– The distillery is completely rebuilt.
Floor maltings is replaced by a Saladin box.
The number of stills doubles to six.
The Saladin box is taken out of service and the malt is purchased centrally.
The first official bottling from Benrinnes is a 15 year old in the Flora & Fauna series.
United Distillers releases a 21 year old cask strength in their Rare Malts series.

WATERTOWN — Elise M. Stefanik has won the Republican primary in the race for New York's 21st Congressional District.
Her opponent for the Republican nomination, Matthew A. Doheny, still will be on the ballot in the November general election, as he has been endorsed by the state Independence Party. Ms. Stefanik also has been endorsed by the state Conservative Party.
They will face Democrat Aaron G. Woolf, a documentary filmmaker with a home in Essex County, and Green Party candidate Matthew J. Funiciello, a bakery owner and political activist from Glens Falls.
In her victory speech, Ms. Stefanik pledged to bring "common sense, Main Street solutions" to Washington, D.C., and said she was willing to work with "anyone, anywhere" to accomplish that feat.
Describing herself as a bridge-builder, Ms. Stefanik forecast a win in the general election.
"We're going to win this November," she told supporters at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls.
At midnight Tuesday, Ms. Stefanik led Mr. Doheny 14,909 to 10,297, garnering 60 percent of the vote.
The race was contentious from the beginning, but the tension between Ms. Stefanik and Mr. Doheny increased in the last few weeks, with nearly $1.2 million in outside money pouring into the district. American Crossroads, a GOP super PAC associated with Karl Rove, spent more than $800,000 on television ads and mailers opposing Mr. Doheny.
In his concession speech, Mr. Doheny said the involvement of super PACs from outside the district heralded a new age of politics, and he attributed his loss to being outspent "six, seven to one."
"My opponent had a good night; Karl Rove had a good night. That's just the reality," Mr. Doheny told supporters gathered in Watertown.
Ms. Stefanik declared her intent to take on U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, in August. Mr. Owens announced in January that he would not seek re-election.
Mr. Doheny, an investment fund manager from Watertown, ran against Mr. Owens in 2010 and 2012 and entered the race after Mr. Owens announced his retirement from politics.
After graduating from Harvard in 2006, Ms. Stefanik worked in the George W. Bush White House in the office of Domestic Policy Council staff and the chief of staff's office, where she said she worked on economic and domestic policy issues. She also worked as director of debate prep for Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. Mr. Ryan campaigned with Ms. Stefanik in Watertown in early June.
The 21st Congressional District, which contains all or part of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Saratoga, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington counties, is one of the largest districts east of the Mississippi River.
Since 2009, it has been represented by Mr. Owens, who won a special election that year to replace Rep. John M. McHugh after President Barack Obama appointed Mr. McHugh to be secretary of the Army.
Mr. Woolf issued a statement reacting to the news of Ms. Stefanik's win and said he was looking forward to continuing the race.
"I look forward to a spirited and ongoing discussion of the issues with my opponents. Since entering this race, I have been focused on listening to the voters and presenting our agenda for creating jobs and ensuring long-term growth for our economy. I intend to continue this productive discussion throughout the general election," Mr. Woolf said in an emailed statement. "As someone who has spent his career chronicling the consequences of government decisions, I'm all too aware of the costs of shortsighted policies and partisan gridlock. We need citizen representatives, unencumbered by corrupting influences and insider politickin — only then can we address the toxic inaction of the U.S. House of Representatives."

Crews set Eugene wetlands on fire - on purpose
EUGENE, Ore. - Firefighters set the West Eugene Wetlands on fire this weekend.
The goal: mimic fire's natural role in the ecoystem to help threatened and endangered plant species.
The Eugene wetlands represent 1 percent of 1 percent of the original wetlands in Oregon.
"Without fire it would be a lot more difficult to get these plants to do what they do naturally," said Michael Mascari, public affairs officer with the Bureau of Land Management, "and any type of fire training that we can give our fire staffs is very valuable."
Controlled burns - sometimes called prescribed fires - provide safer environments for firefighter training than actual wildfires.
"It's a very dangerous job and it is very difficult," Mascari said, "but there is no better experience than to actually fight a live fire."
Fires like the one in the West Eugene wetland also help burn up fuels and prevent larger wildfires from happening.
BLM expects to do several more around the area before the end of the year.

HeikeLos Angeles, CASticky Mess!I have used cold wax for years, but wanted to try a different brand/product to see if anything better exists. So far, it does not. This stuff is terrible! If you dont wait long enough after applying it, you have bits of wax ripping off and sticking to your fingers. If you wait a little bit too long, its a tedious process to get the brittle mess off. Even if you get the timing right, you wont be able to pull off the wax in one piece - still leaving an awful mess! I prefer regular wax with strips, where I can wash off any remainders.posted Jul 27, 2005Link to this post

HairlessgirlClevelandBest I Have TriedI have been experimenting with hair removal for ten years. This is the best wax I have ever tried!! As for the "hard to remove" comments - there are a few tricks. First, if you thoroughly clean the area and then dust with a talc or baby powder, the was will grab more of the hair and less of the skin. Also, you cannot let the wax get too hard - this does make it tricky to remove. My secret? Baby Oil! It removes all the left over wax, and if youve done a large area, just take a warm bath and add a few drops of baby oil to the bath - the extra wax will come right off (no scrubbing, shaving, or tearing required).posted Mar 1, 2005Link to this post

CcBest Wax On Market!!!Surgi-Wax Expert! As an avid aqua-sports nut who needs hairless skin, Ive used every hair removal system imaginable and still couldnt obtain consistent salon results! Finally three years ago I tried Surgi-wax...and the results have consistently been amazing! Firstly--yes it is messing but thats the POINT! NOTHING removes hair like a hot, sticky liquid: enveloping each follicle, hardening to shape and then ripping in one go. If you follow directions; use common sense and keep an open mind youll get the knack of heating to perfect warm temp; mess-free application and gentle paralell-to-skin ripping without too much pain or effort. BONUSES:A) While other brands harp on their product "being gentle enough to not remove layers of skin," not they generally dont remove hair either. With Surgi-Wax, unless you have sensitive, problem or fragile skin all you generally remove are layers of dead skin cells: adding to the smooth, silkiness of the treatment! Consequently over a year or so of waxing this way youll also eventually lighten or lose old scars and blemishes--a bonus I love!B) Depending on your rate of hair growth--you will truly be hairfree and smooth for up to four weeks. Some brands say that the more you wax the thinner the hair growth becomes--Ive only found this to be true with Surgi-wax!SOME TIPS:1) Get to know your microwave. Dont blame the product for your lack of common sense--its wax--it can easily overheat to a thin, scalding consistency so microwave instead to a warm-hot sludge which pulls even the strongest follicle from the roots! About +/-25secs in a standard 1800watt micro!2) Choose a sensible location in your home at which to wax. I use my bed but spread a large, spare cotton sheet down first--if theres spillage/drips onto the sheet--I let it harden and then rip it off.3) Dont use this product on the bikini area UNTIL youve experimented elsewhere. Once it hardens-it does NOT EASILY wash off. So if you apply it and then have second thoughts about the dreaded ripping--youll have to spend at least ten minutes slowly peeling it off under tepid/hot water!That said-once you have used it PROPERLY on the bikini area and everywhere else--YOU WILL NEVER want to use ANYTHING else again!Incidentally this brand also makes the plastic strips for face and body...which though less messy only works almost as well.posted Feb 26, 2005Link to this post

PattiMaineWax Difficult To RemoveI bought this, along with Andreas kit and used each to compare the two. Surgi Wax does not use fabric strips and the wax is supposed to come off with the hair attatched. What a mess!!!! It came off in mostly small pieces despite how thick (or thin) I applied it, which made hair removal even more painful. Also, as it is not water soluble, it was difficult to get all the remaining small pieces off. While it did remove the hair, it was a terrible way to go and I would not purchase this again. (I liked Andreas much better; using the fabric strips over the wax to remove it was much easier and less of a mess, although they dont give you quite enough to do both legs. And while I would buy Andreas again, I think Ill bite the bullet and spend $60 or so to get the salon type warmer (to keep the wax uniformly warm throughout the process), wax, applicators and fabric and make it as hassle-free as possible).posted Nov 18, 2004Link to this post

ColmacSan FranciscoThis Stuff Doesn't Come Off!Ok...so I have to admit that when I first used the Surgi-Wax it worked out ok. I still remember having a bit of wax on my legs, but not too much. I saved the remaining mix (as they give you more than enough to use for both legs) and used it about 6 months later. I figured...its wax, right? Wrong. Initally attracted by the simple ingredients: Glycerin and bees wax, apparently after some time, these just DONT come off your legs. No amount of scrubing with soap and oil would remove the excess wax. I had a big date that night and didnt want bits of wax hanging off my legs....so I was forced to literally shave off the wax, ruining 4 razors in the process. This in turn gave me a nasty rash. It just sucked. I dont think I will buy this product for a long time because the convience of not using cloth strips is not worth not being able to remove the wax. Ill stick to sugar based formulas that wash off with water.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review wasn't helpful.

I am sure that most of last year's Christmas celebrations were completely awesome. But what I remember most is that last year I vowed to do two things this year. 1 – Not send out Christmas cards and 2 – Make more crafts. Last year's Christmas cards made me all Grinchmaster 2000. I can't explain exactly why, but it was awful. I already feel better about this Christmas season now that I'm not sending out 45 or whatever silly number I thought I needed to send. And on the crafting front, last year I don't think we made a damn thing! So I'm trying to plan manageable crafts, with easy to obtain supplies, that can be done mostly by the kids. So far I have the supplies for one craft and one baking project and the kids are so excited about both! Yay! I think there's at least two other things that we could manage to make, plus all the cookies.
Yes, I'm being vague about crafts, but since everyone and their mother is reading, I don't want to spoil surprises!
But I can tell you about parts of what I'm doing. The whole story will be revealed in time. The red things hanging on my clothesline above are skirts that I found at the Goodwill yesterday. I also got an amazing men's coat in a gorgeous herringbone pattern.
I took this picture just after they all had a nice long soak in my bathtub with wool wash, followed by a spin in the washing machine. Other than linings in these items, they are all made with wool. All three items were in impeccable condition (I always look for signs of moths, and often find lots of holes, but not on these!). Once they were dry, the wrinkles you can see in the pictures went away. I was going to try to get a better picture of the skirts, but well, I got excited this morning.
The red skirts got torn up and put back together. The thing I made with them is the best thing ever! Since I'm not telling you about it, I told Gerald everything about it, all day, including multiple exclamations of "This is the best thing I ever made!!!!!!!!!" or something along those lines. He can now hold his own in a sewist's discussion of bias tape – including the merits of homemade versus store bought.
I am really excited about the prospect of buying high quality wool for really, really good prices. The skirts were $3.75 each and the coat was $14.00. You can bet that on Monday I'll be doing my tour of the thrift stores, trying to score some more good deals for more craft ideas! I have big plans for that coat, but it'll need some careful planning.
I'm so excited about doing all these little and not so little crafts, preparing for Christmas. So much better than last year, already!

I'm not sure if cox still requires it, but did you put in the hostname that the install technician gave you when you first got @home? Mine was something like cx619232-z or something. The dhcp server wouldn't assign you an address unless it was set right. So make sure that your hostname is set correctly. I can't get more specific because I use a cable router/firewall type thing and it handled the switch transparently to me.
And it's normal to detect your NIC as a 3c59x. That's the driver module for both 3c590's and 3c905's.

great looking with a slim fit, but the best thing is the soft feel. Unlike some Sherpa linings that are stiff and a bit scratchy the 80% cotton lining of this hoodie is soft as a teddy bear. I wear this everywhere, indoors and out, its more comfortable than my bathrobe.

before I even got a chance to use it, my daughter snatched mine. It is fleece on the inside and a snug fitting zip up design. I'm now ordering my second one. I wear it on the weekends when ever I would wear a sweatshirt or jacket. I am going to wear it to football games, too.

Hurley™ was born out of a love for the ocean that continues more than three decades later. Bob Hurley founded Hurley Surfboards in 1979 in Costa Mesa, CA. Within a few years, he was shaping boards for some of the world's best surfers. By the 1990s, Bob began to realize that surf culture was intertwined with fashion, music, and art. He sought to capture the ever-changing spirit of the ocean in the company's beach apparel. Bob founded Hurley with the intention of redefining what it meant to be a surf brand.
Today, Hurley remains true to its beach roots as one of the leading producers of surf gear, boardshorts, and swimsuits. Hurley's most popular items for both men and women include the "Phantom" and "Puerto Rico" swimwear lines. The company also features rashguards, bags, and other accessories for the avid surfer.
But Hurley products are not just for lovers of the water -- the brand's apparel takes the spirit of surfing into all facets of life. Hurley features popular lines of t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, tote bags, hats, pants, and dresses. Despite having become one of the biggest names in surf and swim gear, Hurley remains passionate about the ideals of inclusion, positivity, and freedom of expression that go hand-in-hand with beach culture.

This story is part of Our Road to Recovery, our coverage of the 2013 Boulder County floods.
Many homeless people slept outdoors in Boulder during the flood — even though the American Red Cross had set up an emergency shelter nearby at the YMCA. And according to members of the homeless community, several persons are still unaccounted for.
"They turned us away at the YMCA," says John Morrow, who normally camps in the foothills. "There were about 40 of us."
Tim Kosick and Black Wolf say they were turned away, too.
Although the Red Cross shelter's decision to not admit the homeless was eventually reversed, tensions linger in a city whose homeless population already feels embattled.
"The cops were harassing us at 8 a.m. on Thursday morning," Collin Vanderharr says.
He had been sleeping under the library with a few dozen others.
"They said they'd ticket us if we kept staying out of the rain there," he says.
Another group of homeless people, including Ron Chase and "Dwarf," had slept on the covered patio at Alfalfa's.
"But the cops came and ran everybody off," says Chris Mitchell, a former homeless man who checked on the community daily during the flood. "Told 'em to go to the shelter at the YMCA."
They tried.
"They wouldn't let us in because we didn't have houses that got flooded," Morrow says.
"We were told we were the evacuation center for people with addresses," says Andra Coberly, spokesperson for the YMCA.
Tim Kosick's shoes and backpack were soaked through. But he was told that other people had more pressing needs, he says.
"They looked at us and said, 'You're not welcome here,'" Black Wolf says.
Many went to the Bridge House, a local organization that serves the homeless. Its official capacity is only 25 people, says Executive Director Isabel McDevitt. Boulder County had told her that, in a disaster, homeless people would be treated like everyone else.
"We called the Y, and they said no, homeless people are not allowed," she says. "The Red Cross wasn't following the policy."
So McDevitt called city and county officials.
City officials responded that they encourage relief organizations to provide services for all, says Karen Hahn, director of the City of Boulder's Human Services Department.
With city and county support, McDevitt called the Red Cross back.
"It was a miscommunication," says Chip Frye, public information officer with the Red Cross. "The city realized that they needed to make some corrections in terms of accommodating all their clients at shelters, and they may have dropped the ball on that."
(The city is not involved with decisions about shelters, says Hahn.)
"We're the Red Cross, we'll help anyone," Frye says. "I think that's the message to get out, rather than that a couple homeless people were turned away."
Some were turned away twice.
"When the Red Cross said we could come back, we went back," Morrow says. "We got turned away again. We told her we'd been walking all day. She said, 'Well, you can have a police escort if you like.'"
Korey Bourg, a veteran, believes he was denied entry a second time because of his appearance.
"I got turned away again," he says, "because the Red Cross was still picking and choosing. If you look even a little scary, they won't let you in. I'm a big guy."
By Friday morning, several homeless people had been admitted.
"We live on the street," says Lori Hopkins, as she looked through Red Cross clothing donations with her husband Larry Davis and friend Tony Taylor.
Sue, Gigi and Laurie (who chose not to provide last names) live at the homeless shelter on North Broadway, which closes during the day. They found daytime shelter with the Red Cross.
Red Cross Shelter Manager Suzanne Ackley said that rumors of people being turned away were "totally untrue."
"We want the word out that we're taking everyone," YMCA spokesperson Coberly said on Friday.
But many homeless didn't get the message.
"Word had travelled," McDevitt says. "People said, 'OK, I'm on my own,' and they hunkered down."
Others were still angry.
"After I was turned away twice, after showing a military ID, I was so enraged," Kosick says.
A warming shelter opened in Louisville, but buses weren't running, Ron Chase explains.
People were desperate until they heard they could camp in the parking garage above the bus station, Morrow says.
The top two floors were full, Chase says.
"It was cold," says teenager Bailey Beers.
Early Monday morning, people were told to leave — or face trespassing tickets.
"The cops said the state isn't in an emergency anymore," Beers said.
Chase, Mitchell and "Dwarf" gathered in the covered lot next to Mustard's Last Stand to discuss the situation. Minutes later, a police officer appeared.
"Time to move on," he said. "I'm getting complaints."
On Tuesday morning, Mitchell reported that homeless people were digging through the trash for makeshift blankets.
"These people were in danger," he says, "because nobody gives a shit."
McDevitt hopes this disaster will help homelessness be seen in a larger context.
"This wouldn't have been such an issue," she says, "if there weren't so many people whose only option is camping."

From the good people that sold Christmas presents to our troops in Vietnam Nam. What would you expect?
It should have never been an issue, people are people. I'm very disappointed w/the Y only housing the folks w/homes and money.
I would just like to let you know the truth about what was really happening at the Red Cross YMCA shelter over the past few weeks, where I spent a lot of time. There was a large number of homeless people in the facility. They had cots, showers, nurse services, and three meals provided to them daily. There were convicted child molesters allowed in the facility for shelter even though the YMCA is a family facility and paying members were still accessing the building. Some homeless were turned away because they have been banned from they Y, or they were caught stealing from other people who were using the shelter. They did not have to show any form of residence upon check in, so those who said they were turned away because they didn't have a house that flooded is false. I would also like to mention the disrespect that was shown through out the entire thing. A person in the shelter accessed a part of the building that was off limits and used an exercise room as her personal bathroom and refused to clean it up. Another urinated in the linen closet. I suggest that before writing something like this you get some reliable sources.

Ellen Jorgensen:
Biohacking — you can do it, too
We have personal computing, why not personal biotech? That's the question biologist Ellen Jorgensen and her colleagues asked themselves before opening Genspace, a nonprofit DIYbio lab in Brooklyn devoted to citizen science, where amateurs can go and tinker with biotechnology. Far from being a sinister Frankenstein's lab (as some imagined it), Genspace offers a long list of fun, creative and practical uses for DIYbio.

Cal Poly Pomona Hosts State Budget Hearing
May 2, 2011
State leaders held a Senate Budget Committee hearing last Friday at Cal Poly Pomona that featured testimony from higher education leaders, K-12 leaders, public safety officials and the public from throughout the Inland Empire on the impact of an all cuts budget.
Participants reviewed the effects of previous budget cuts on the area and also discussed options to resolve $16 billion in revenue needed to balance this year's state budget. Among the options is the passing of an "all-cuts" budget in which CSU's reduction in funding could be far greater than the $500 million cut already approved by the governor and the legislature.
"By eliminating three of our eight colleges we still couldn't make it work," said J. Michael Ortiz, president of Cal Poly Pomona. "This would mean thousands of students would go without an education and we still would not survive and all-cuts budget."
The governor and legislators have already approved a budget that reduces state funding for higher education by $1.4 billion, including a half a billion dollar cut to the CSU.
Ortiz concluded his testimony on the possible long-term effect of an all-cuts budget, stating "If we stay on this path we have some incomprehensible decisions that must be made."

In the Sixties, I was probably the only kid at Texas Tech University who hailed from Washington, DC, having landed in Dallas some six months earlier at the behest of my parents — during my senior year of high school, no less — in the Land of Ten-Gallon hats; the "Texas two-step"; elaborate, pointy-toe Cowboy boots (universally referred to as "_ _ _ _-kickers"); rednecks and tumbleweed. Here, everyone had "horse sense" and women wore "britches," certainly not "panties!" The accents weren't exactly what you'd call "southern," or even "western," the way most linguists think of it. The thick drawls were nasal in quality; people talked through their noses, which didn't sound genteel but, rather, um, ignorant to those unaccustomed to it. Moreover, the whole experience was like being pushed into in a time machine and going back 20 years.
Which is why you could have knocked me over with a feather when my bearded, educational psychology professor announced: "The first thing you kids need to know is there's no such thing as 'common sense'." That, of course, would have included "horse sense" (pronounced haws sense), a favorite parental rebuke to young upstarts who were going about some chore in the wrong way. The professor drew some concentric circles on the blackboard and stabbed the bull's eye with his chalk. "That," he said (meaning the bull's eye), "is the center of the universe — your Ego. All these other circles represent things like your parents, family, pastor, even your friends. They're entirely secondary, superfluous. Ego, that's what's important." He smacked the bull's eye again several times for emphasis.
At 19 years of age, this was profound stuff. The professor had captivated everyone's attention as he pontificated on the primacy of one's feelings of importance, especially the perceived need to leave one's mark on the world.
The good professor didn't stop there. The next week he devoted half an hour to his "first-hand knowledge" of a plot by the CIA to assassinate Castro (hardly anyone in the class knew he meant Cuba's head honcho until he said so). "Why," he huffed, "There're enough people that needed assassinatin' right here at home!"
That's when I started feeling queasy. As time went on, the prof warmed to his theme, which roughly translated to "change in America." I watched numbly as the sons and daughters of ranch hands and farmers lapped it up. I wasn't all that smart at age 19, but I knew a snow-job when I heard it, and this was it.
Of course, most everyone my age back then was anxious to leave the family nest, to be taken seriously for his or her own opinions, to be popular and important. Homesick and timid collegiates were sniveling and weak. Even in backwoods Texas, the spirit of the times was upbeat, assertive and ready for action — the draft notwithstanding. Particularly the draft….
I was luckier than I knew to be in Lubbock at that particular time in history. Lord knows I had ample reasons to be angry at my parents — due to the move, I hadn't even had a date to the Dallas high school's senior prom — but if I thought the blowhard standing at the blackboard was bad news, I wasn't seeing anything compared to my old chums back East!
On the East and West Coasts, many professors were inciting their students to actively defy authority, to get arrested, to try LSD, to "make love, not war," all of which were enthusiastically endorsed by their pampered young charges, whose college experiences were largely subsidized by their elders. I heard that pages from a tome called Eros and Civilization, written by some guy named Herbert Marcuse, were being circulated to students at cafés, at demonstrations and housing complexes (not to be confused with old-fashioned "dormitories"). The pages from Marcuse's and others' writings ranged from prose to poems and chants, all infused with themes of "erotic liberation," "rejection of the capitalist monster" and anti-authoritarianism. New wisdom had it that no one over age 30 should even be trusted, as it was obvious the world was "screwed up" by a sanctimonious Old Guard. It was time for Change. If any "war" was fought at all, it should be wars to liberate the masses from their "establishment" masters.
I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was jealous of my back-East now-collegiate chums — sipping wine, carrying signs, and trolling local cafés till 2 in the morning in search of irreverent songs and poetry (and definitely "inhaling"). They "slept it off" in apartment-like, if dingy, dwellings, which often came with small kitchens, until classes started. By contrast, I was stuck in a land of curfews — 10 p.m. weekdays and midnight on weekends. I trudged to boring same-sex dormitories with, of all things, "legislators" running the show.
Dorm "legislators" were elected by residents and installed in solemn, candlelight ceremonies that would have been laughable almost anywhere else. They handed out demerits, with punishments for infractions like missing curfew by even one minute or — get this — for an "ODA," which is to say an "Obvious Display of Affection" anywhere on campus (if you got caught). The ODA applied equally to brief, stolen kisses or outright "necking." (I called it a DOA, for "Dead on Arrival").
Offending girls would get hauled up — for these and a myriad of other, silly rules — before a "board" of self-righteous, hypocritical coeds (who typically got drunk in frat houses on Saturday night, then came staggering into the dorm at 11:59 p.m.). Nevertheless, it was they who heard the "cases" and passed judgment — and sent notes home to parents concerning the "incident" and its outcome.
The whole concept was humiliating and demeaning in the extreme and probably wouldn't have been tolerated in the mid-1960s anywhere north of Oklahoma, west of Utah or east of Arkansas.
On the other hand, I read the newspapers, even if most of my college classmates didn't, and I had just enough sophistication from my international upbringing to recognize that something other than normal, adolescent rebellion was driving the youth culture, not only in America, but throughout the free world. Take Switzerland, for example: When I was a child in the nation's Capital, Switzerland was the place to send a kid for the best, most rigorous education if a family was rich and "connected." But by the mid-Sixties, Swiss schools were experiencing the same anti-establishment rhetoric and lowered academic standards as Americans. Of course, most of Europe was already socialist — the oxymoron "free-market" socialism was prevalent — but places like Switzerland, France and Britain were actually fairly straitlaced when it came to propriety and the demeanor of the young. I could recall from my nine years at an international academy how European parents thought American kids bratty — even before they really were bratty. So, I concluded, if only subconsciously, that something was afoot. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Then there was the war in Vietnam, which any idiot could see was drafting more kids from the ranks of the rural and unemployed than from seriously moneyed families who sent their boys to elite colleges and contributed big bucks to political candidates. It was also an undeclared war — a "police action" without end and, apparently, without a victory plan. Rather like the Korean War, our parents said, the "forgotten war," they called it.
The horrors of war had been duly transmitted to the progeny of the Greatest Generation, more in what men who stormed Normandy, North Africa and Okinawa didn't say than for what they did say. For the most part, they simply declined to talk about it, and that was enough for most fellows my age. It confirmed their suspicion that it wasn't a game of Cowboys and Indians out there. So, they played "Let's Be Revolutionaries" instead. They had plenty of help — from the likes of Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, John Lennon. And yet…I mean, did you ever hear Joan Baez. Man, what a set of pipes! It was like Susan Boyle today — people literally gasped when they heard her. Plus she was really pretty.
Meanwhile, I was shocked to find out my best friend in DC was protesting and dodging tear gas at his college. He insisted that had been fun! Many more old friends became hippies, escaped to Canada, or became "professional college students" (with convenient adjunct professorships). The snippets of information about cultural cleansing, collective farms and desperate boat people didn't sink in.
Today, many of those same chums admit they weren't so much protesting the war, civil rights or "the Establishment" as seeking camaraderie and new experiences. The kids at Tech were considerably more patriotic, of course, but by May 1968, when I graduated and married, a new breed of freshmen was emerging. Clearly, they had already been apprised of the new anti-Establishment wisdom, with their long, stringy hair and "attitude."
Which put my new husband and I in a bit of a box as we headed to California — off to new jobs and a new life with all our belongings crammed into a simple, stripped-down Ford Fairlane. It seemed that no sooner had we parked the car in the parking space in our tiny apartment complex, than the Democratic National Convention erupted into a violent collage of footage that would be repeated ad nauseam. This, just months after the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy assassinations. Commentators who covered the Convention kept referring to the brawl as a protest against U.S. foreign policy, and it was true that the Youth International Party ("Yippies") was one of the major groups involved, spearheaded by the likes of Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and other adults as far in advance as New Year's Eve, 1967, at Hoffman's apartment. In preparation for the Chicago convention, The Yippies held a "Yip-In" and a "Yip-Out" in New York City. Both events were planned as "be-ins," with live music — ostensibly to promote peace, love and harmony, as a trial run for Chicago. The "Yip-In" was held at Grand Central Station. One anarchist group hung a black banner on the wall, bearing the words, "Up Against the Wall Mother ...." in red. Police stood by, watching the crowds, not taking the whole thing very seriously, and jokes were even exchanged between the two groups.
But looking at the violent convention footage from Chicago, something was out-of-whack. It wasn't just college kids being whacked to the ground by police. This time, there were honest-to-goodness over-30 adults, and some didn't look like Americans.
That's when I went back to school — in more ways than my grad work at the University of California (Irvine, CA). I had my first job by now, teaching junior high pupils at the Johnson Intermediate School in the Westminster, California, School District (Orange County). No longer focused on dating, dances and dormitory challenges, I reviewed both old and new college courses from both Tech and UC. Among the educational gurus we studied were John Dewey, Erich Fromm, Jerome S. Bruner and A. S. Neill. But when I got to the library, I noticed something strange: None of the texts we actually studied contained the more controversial and radical ideas about education and childrearing espoused by these luminaries. Sweeping essentials had been omitted from my education.
A year later, Kent State hit the news. About that time, dress codes at Johnson Intermediate School were abolished; the kids (rarely well-behaved to begin with) started taunting their teachers and parents, almost daring us to act or defy them. Drugs, "the clap," and foul language permeated the campus. They (and many of their parents) clearly believed everything the Big Three networks and the Los Angeles Times was spewing.
I had studied enough. I couldn't in good conscience let these kids simmer in leftist stew without at least presenting alternative food for thought.
That May, I drove nine miles to Buena Park, California's Knott's Berry Farm, where I heard that an American Opinion Bookstore had more information — and even video footage — than people typically saw on television concerning campus riots — and not just at Kent State, but elsewhere. I spent hours, and hit the jackpot. The authenticity of the American Opinion footage was not in doubt — expert tampering with images was just too hard in those days, much less mass-production and dissemination. You either saw it or you didn't. On my own dime, I borrowed, rented and bought a carload of information, then drove home.
The next Monday, I dispensed with my lesson plans and told the kids I wanted to show them something. Even the paper-throwers, athletic heroes and female exhibitionists were "game" — if for no other reason than that they didn't have to open their textbooks. In the beginning of the films, students laughed jubilantly at college kids tossing bottles and raising havoc, making comments like "way to go!" Slowly, the hilarity diminished and the room became a more somber place. In one sequence, "protesters" were being "primed" and incited by definitely over-30 adults. Others showed police and innocent bystanders being attacked by the so-called "protesters" — acts from which, clearly, many would not recover — while the Big Three's cameras were shown capturing different images, like chanting students, on another side of the street.
For the benefit of 8th-graders who could actually read, I produced an assortment of dog-eared flyers, slogan-laden signboards and apparently hastily-typed song lyrics that had been collected from the various demonstrations. I disseminated some of the few writings and interviews that had managed to trickle to the free world — people such as surgeon and gynecologist Haing Ngor, [See Note] of later Killing Fields fame, a survivor of the Pol Pot's sadistic reign of terror. Pol Pot's real name was actually Saloth Sar, son of a successful landowner in Cambodia; he was educated in France, where he teamed up with French Communists — hardly the waif of popular culture from a down-on-their-luck family. "Pol Pot" not only had been exposed to the West, but Catholicism; yet as head of the Khmer Rouge on his return to Cambodia, this sadist recruited young, uneducated, and homeless boys and tutored them in methods of torture unthinkable to Western sensibilities. More than one million, 20 percent of the population, died.
This, I showed my students, was what some U.S. leaders were trying, however ineptly, to stop, so that it didn't spread to other countries via Chinese Communists who were helping to supply men, money and armaments to the Khmer Rouge. We had waited too long when Adolf Hitler rose to power, and many Americans were leery of making the same mistake again — of imagining that a smaller, less modernized, nation would be unable to spread its venom globally.
I told my students to look into both sides for themselves, not to take my word for it — or the word of anything I had shown them. At the same time, I urged my young charges to look further than the nightly news and the popular slogan.
I couldn't do today what I did as a teacher in 1970. The Left pulled off their coup and managed to marginalize — via carefully screened newscasters, commentators, educators and even theologians — much of the free speech, free press, religious values and "peaceable" assembly that our Constitution's Framers insisted "shall not be abridged."
Our nation, in the mold that the Founders intended it, is hanging by a thread. Self-sufficiency has been traded for "interdependency," and even "dependency" upon a Nanny State; private property rights are slowly disappearing under excuses invented by the Environmental Protection Agency and compromised scientists bent on redistributing the people's wealth. Religious values are in the cross-hairs and portrayed either as "discriminatory" or "superstitious." Even much of today's entertainment is filled with de-sensitizing, depressing and vile images.
But for a short time, I can say I challenged some students to see a bigger picture — and maybe, just maybe, that will be enough.
[Author's Note: I had the honor of meeting Dr. Ngor while working for the Voice of America in the 1980s. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979, Ngor worked as a doctor in a refugee camp in Thailand and left with his niece for the United States in 1980. His wife died in a concentration camp and Dr. Ngor never remarried. Despite no previous acting experience, Ngor won three awards, including a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dith Pran in The Killing Fields. He dedicated the remainder of his life in the U.S., until his untimely murder, to raising money for war orphans and repairing Cambodia's infrastructure.]

Water flows through one of the seven gates at the St. Lucie Lock Thursday morning in Martin County. A meter on the side of the gate indicates the extent of its opening. Five of the gates were open to 2.5 feet, one was opened to 4.2 feet and another was opened to 4.3 feet allowing water to flow at approximately 7,800 cubic feet per second. The Army Corps of Engineers announced yesterday morning that they were doubling the amount of water being released into the St. Lucie River.

Russell, a painter and graduate of BYU's art program, is concerned with capturing the reality of what he sees. Whether it's a landscape or figure, he focuses on capturing the essence of that subject, believing that paintings are the most personal, direct representation of vision.
Woodward's earthenware pieces reflect the rugged qualities of her surroundings. She graduated from Utah State University with a double degree in art education and ceramics. She taught 12 years, then started making pottery full time while she and her husband raised their two daughters in Arizona.
The painting and ceramics exhibit will be on display at USU Eastern's Gallery East through Nov. 10.
Gallery East is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Fridays, weekends and holidays. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, call the gallery at: 435-613-5327; or contact Noel Carmack at: 435-613-5241 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
