In the last two weeks I have watched both political conventions and during both I thought there were some outstanding moments, and some low moments as well. Depending on your point of view, I guess one had more of those than the other, but for me they were about equal.
All both of them did is prove to me that American seems to be moving more toward polarization than ever.
I know that candidates for president really need to play to the middle of the road so they can win an election. It used to be that much of the country was either decidedly Republican or Democratic. But most statistics today show that our republic has a lot more independent voters than it used to. I think that is something our founding fathers would like, particularly George Washington who hated the idea of political parties.
Elections have become so much about winning for the party that we forget that the winner should be elected for the people of this country. And I think for all Americans that have an interest in the race, many of us find ourselves in a quandry. The problem I have is that I am not a single issue guy; I have a wide range of views some of which fit into a conservative line while others fall more left of center.
As I have looked at the Obama ticket and the McCain ticket I've found myself agreeing and disagreeing with each of them on many things. I spend little time worrying about their family or personal life, but do care about what kind of philosophies they have spoken about in the past as compared to what they are saying now. That doesn't mean I could put anyone down for having changed their mind, I certainly have done that on a lot of issues over the years. I am more interested in how they have changed their minds.
I have to say there has only been one time since I turned voting age that I had a clear picture of who I wanted to vote for for president before I stepped into the voting booth. That time period makes for eight presidential elections when I couldn't make my mind up until the last minute. I don't know if that is a sad commentary on me or on the kinds of candidates we have had to vote for in the last 36 years. And unless something compelling happens, I will be that same way in this election.
I generally have little trouble picking out a person to vote for in local and state elections. I also never have been unsure about who I wanted to vote for in congressional races. Maybe that is because even though I have lived outside of Utah a couple of times, I never have lived anywhere else long enough to vote there. And in Utah, for me it is easy to pick, because the sides are either (1) so diametrically opposed that I had no problem picking out the one I liked the best, or (2) I happened to know the people running personally and prefer one over the other.
But in presidential politics I have found myself often lost. Not one person that has been sworn into office since I was 18 years old has fulfilled my dream of what a president should be. Realistically, I should know that probably could never happen, but I keep hoping that someday one of those presidents that we see in the movies comes to exist. You know the one I'm talking about: the guy or gal with honesty, integrity, leadership, intelligence, fairness and common sense. One that works for all Americans instead of a few; one that will stand up to the bullies of the world, but will have the sense to not take on things we shouldn't ever be involved in.
All the past presidents of my adulthood have lacked at least one of the above qualities and more often more than one.. We have had crooks, indecisive executives, bumblers, poor decision makers, economic knotheads, war mongers, outright liars, and a natural comedian (although his comedy has always turned out to be of the black variety). Some of our leaders have had many of these poor qualities; some of them only had one, but in those cases that one was a big problem for our country. By the time these past president's four or eight years in office were over I was glad to see us get rid of them, hoping for better times ahead, but never finding it. It's kind of like when you were a kid and you had to spend nine months in the meanest teacher in the schools classroom; you looked forward to the end of the school year. But then on the last day of school the principal posted the class lists for the next year and you found out you were enrolled in the second meanest teacher in the schools class the next fall.
Some people I know are sure of their choice for this election. They are either liberal enough or conservative enough to know what their choice is. It appears they can see things much more clearly than I certainly can. It seems they have a crystal ball and are convinced they are right and that things will be great if only __________ gets elected.
The way I see it, right now anyway, we are once again in a crap shoot. Maybe we will get lucky and one of the two large party candidates running will turn out to be great presidential material.
But I'm certainly not going to bet the farm on it.

Companion forum thread to:Commentary: The Packraft in 2013
David, thanks for the highly persuasive article!
Good stuff...currently trying to decide on rafts for the wife and I for pretty much the "serious weight savings in serious conditions, but not serious whitewater" that you describe (thinking linking up big loops in Escalante/Roost area, crossings, etc). Affordability is important since we're looking at two. The scout is leading the pack at this point...the Curiyak looks good but it's a decent amount more expensive and a full pound heavier (and we're reasonably short). The flytepacker price and weight is appealing but the extra width (for flat paddling) and durability are a bit concerning.
For me bottom durability is a big deal with packrafts. I think they'll invariably be used in shallow rivers and creeks. This is what concerns me about the current Flytepacker, and what has impressed me most about my '10 Yak.FWIW Flytepacker told me, during correspondence for this article, that they're working on a burlier raft which would be more direct competition for the main line Alpackas. I hope they succeed.
Thanks David,The short reviews of alpacka dry suit coming today?(like said in last letter of next week coming?)If not,any first opinion about durability and dryness?J-F
Would love to hear about the applicability of these new ultralite drysuits to Nordic Skating where a fall through the ice can be life threatening...
The drysuit update will have to come from Ryan. It certainly seems like it could be a good option for skating on thin ice.Folks should also take a look at Alpacka's latest close-hold innovations: the Cargo Fly (https://www.alpackaraft.com/index.cfm/store.catalog?CategoryID=65). It's a zipper on the stern which allows gear to be stowed inside the tubes. Retrofittable on 2010 and newer boats.My initial reaction, for my own use, is meh. I have no doubt it works very well if you balance the load, but as I said above packrafts are already too complicated. Nonetheless, huge credit to Alpacka for not resting on their laurels. We now await the tricked out, full on, 1300-1400 dollar whitewater boat.
Nice article.Could you change the table to read in grams instead of fractions of kilograms? It would be much easier to read/comprehend.
Nice summation! For Jackson Hole Packraft & Packraft Rentals Anywhere a switch flipped in July. We went from struggling to get people interested in packrafting to needing more rental boats. We're even doing some December rentals! Next year we're going to offer both the a Denali Llama with the whitewater deck & the FeatherCraft self bailing boat (the latter seems great for roadside & short hikes, family trips and rivers where a double hull is required - or for kayakers who don't sweat the difference between a few pounds, thinking its all lightweight).We're definitely on the cusp of widespread interest in the sport ....
David, thanks, very awesome!"It (Alpacas) will be an expert's tool, and while it might weigh 5 kilos"It seems to be truly, for example, old Alpacka weighed only 1.7 kg! (http://www.canoekayak.com/canoe/alpackaraft/). Now we have additional pound! May be do you have some additional info about weight/size dynamics of Alpacas from the beginning to the present day?
Edited by kartametro on 02/07/2013 13:09:06 MST.
"May be do you have some additional info about weight/size dynamics of Alpacas from the beginning to the present day?"A good question. I don't have direct access to enough boats to provide solid numbers, but it's easy to speculate.The original Alpacka, sans skirt and seat and with a small stern, was a bit under 4 pounds. Not much more than my 2013 Scout, which has smaller main tubes but a large stern. The first attached decks were heavier (70D?) sil, and thus I would assume a bit lighter than the current cruiser deck, with its heavier fabric, zippers, and lap pillow. The 2010 boats got a substantially larger stern, and then again the first pointy boats in 2011. Neither of these added much weight, but they did add some.So how did a conventional boat go from 4 pounds to 6 in the last ten years? The deck and seat/backrest account for most of it, with smaller amounts going to the added fabric in the boat, and perhaps extra tie downs and thigh straps. I bought the aforementioned Scout through the end of the year sale to test just what the limitations of the small, deckless boat would be under serious conditions. With four tie downs added (three for the pack, one on the floor for a seat) it weighs 3 lb 11 oz, and packs to about half the size of my 2010 Yak w/ deck and wilderness thigh straps (1.5" poly webbing). I haven't had it on the water yet (it's all frozen), but I imagine an article will come out of this experiment.
It seems that there is a good spectrum of lightweight packable water craft in 2013: from foldable/inflatable kayaks on one end, to ultralight 2-3lb boats. Now I hope that the cottage industry will turn some attention to the PFD. As of right now, there aren't a whole lot of lightweight solutions. I ended up ordering a Stormy Seas SV100 (which is not certified by the US Coast Guard btw), which came to $160 CDN once the dust settled (USD conversion, shipping, duty tax).I realize that certifications, different governing authorities in different countries, and the potential for opening oneself up for litigation is maybe not an attractive prospect for a cottage gear shop owner.If companies didn't want to sell PFDs, they might be able to sell DIY kits, or even the individual parts: oral inflation tubes, inflation bladders, valves, materials, patterns. As of right now, even getting good materials for a MYOG PFD is tricky.
I don't think you can get much lighter than what already exists and still provide the necessary flotation for big/fast water.You can always strap some air-filled platys to yourself for paddling flat water, at your own risk of course.

But they've still got to show something new every year, and today's announcement of NHL 13's feature set shows a gameplay focus common to both titles. That shouldn't be surprising, they're both built at the same studio, EA Canada in Burnaby, B.C.
While there's inevitably more to come on both titles, both games' focus on movement and player intelligence show the conundrum a an annual sports title can get into by being too good. Change nothing, and you're taking your customers' $60 for granted. But try to fix that which ain't broken, and you risk tarnishing what's already a good product.
In both cases, EA Sports promises revolutionary new gameplay is coming to these titles, a bold claim that is almost never supported when it comes time for the reviews, even if the features deliver as advertised. NHL now gets "True Performance Skating," described as "a game-changing innovation," that layers physics-driven skating on top of the requisite hundreds of new animations. "True Performance Skating, combined with the Skill Stick, finally gives gamers access to the entire toolset of an NHL player," said the official release today. "True Performance Skating authentically replicates the explosiveness, momentum and top end speed displayed by today's NHL players."
Sounds a lot like "Complete Dribbling" in FIFA 13. "Players change direction quicker, are more explosive accelerating with the ball, and are more effective shielding defenders for longer stretches," said its news release on Tuesday. Combined with the refinement of the "1st Touch Control," FIFA is looking to open up its motion system and make humans more able to contest the ball against bot opponents, as NHL is making human players more nimble against bot defenders.
"Attacking intelligence," is the other phase FIFA intends to deliver. "Players have the ability to analyse space, work harder and smarter to break down the defense, and think two plays ahead," goes the promotional copy. "Plus, players make runs that pull defenders out of position and open passing channels for teammates."
On the other side of the building at Burnaby, NHL 13 is working on something called "Hockey IQ." In that system, "all players are now fully aware of every other player on the ice, resulting in quicker, smarter and more true-to-life decision-making."
These are not the kind of things that can be easily verified. They need huge sample sizes to be observed. E3 gets going in a couple of weeks, and it's absolutely the worst place to evaluate a work-in-progress sports video game. If it's hands-on, the experience is very guided and the game is often one of six that writer has seen that day. And the noise and breakneck pace of an entertainment expo is in no way the same experience as what you will have in front of your TV this September.
So while FIFA and NHL have earned some benefit of the doubt, their claims rate as much skepticism as any other sports video game's, if not more because they're promising game-changing innovation on top of something already accepted as best-in-class. The fact they're both evolving in the same areas leads me to believe these two groups are borrowing each other's technology, and that's fine. But it does raise the question of whether it is more optimal in one game, or if it had to be broadened to serve both.

Roland's most popular portable sampler just got turbocharged.
The portable Roland SP-404SX Sampler is a powerful, creatively stimulating music production tool for DJs, musicians, producers, and live-sound engineers.
The acclaimed Roland SP-404 performance sampler takes an exciting leap forward with the SP-404SX. In addition to the fun, fast, hands-on features of the original, this updated Roland sampler offers enhanced sound quality with pure 16-bit linear sampling, improved DSP (digital signal processor) effects, smooth effects switching, a more versatile pattern sequencer (with a shuffle feature), and easier data management with SD-card compatibility.
Instant sampling
Sample anywhere, anytime using the Roland SP-404SX sampler's built-in microphone. And since the SP-404SX portable sampler runs on AC or battery power (6 AA batteries), it's easy to record wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Just power-up, point, and record.
Line and mic inputs are also available for recording direct or with an external microphone. The Roland SP-404SX's sampling format is uncompressed WAV for high-quality audio capture.
Hands-on performance
The Roland SP-404SX sampler is made to be played. It's packed with interactive controls for jamming along with loops and patterns. Put your fingers on the 3 non-slip control knobs, 12 trigger pads, and Sub Pad for rapid repeat triggering in real time. On dark stages or DJ booths, the Roland SP-404SX is a performers dream with illuminated rubber pads and a bright LED screen.
Extreme effects
Create a signature sound using the SP-404SX's 29 DSP effects, which switch seamlessly during live performance. Essential onboard effects include spacious reverbs and choruses, plus filters and delays. There are also unique, esoteric effects built in, including a voice transformer and looper. With the DJFX Looper, you can create short loops (such as machine-gun-like "da-da-da-da-da" sounds) and control reverse playback with the knob. You can also create scratch effects like on a turntable. Connect the SP-404SX to a DJ mixer and use it as an effect processor. Seventeen of the effects have a "limiter" mode, which keeps the effects from overloading. This is great for live DJ performances when you don't want to lose control of the effects in the heat of the moment.
In addition to the endless supply of loops you can pack into the Roland SP-404SX sampler, you can also create your own tracks in real time with the Pattern Sequencer, complete with quantize mode, which includes shuffle feels. Creating patterns is done in real time. You can loop two measures (maximum 99 measures), for example, then play and record only the bass drum and the snare. Next, add the hi-hat over the top, and keep adding more instruments while the SP-404SX loops. The sampler can store 120 patterns (12 patterns x 10 banks).
When you play a pattern with the Pattern Sequencer, the LEDs surrounding the display blink according to the tempo, which is a handy feature during live performance.
SD card memory
Start sampling right away with the included 1GB SD card. You can easily expand the sampling time using up to 32GB SDHC. Import audio files from your computer using the included software (Mac or PC) and assign them to the SP-404SX's pads. WAV and AIFF files are accepted. The software is fast and easy to use, as it displays the Roland SP-404SX's pads onscreen. You can even use it to convert SP-404 format files to the SP-404SX.

Comments about Roland SP-404SX Portable Sampler with Effects:
I'm satisfied with the SP-404SX but it's not perfect. I was looking for a playback machine that I could play 3-4 minute backing tracks to play guitar/bass and sing along to, it's perfect for that, it accepts stereo wav files and it's easy to transfer files to it with the included software.
The effects are awesome and are highly editable. I haven't really used the pattern maker on it, I do my sequencing on the computer then just dump the finished wav file to one button so I have no need for it. The mic input is useful but it only has a 1/4" input so you'd need an adapter to plug in an SM58, all the effects can be applied to the mic.
I like that the buttons light up to show what sample is playing but they feel stiff and awkward, I'm used to MPC pads. The volume and effect edit knobs feel flimsy, you'll want to take care of them or they can probably break or get bent. Also the adapter connector in the back does not feel solid and it wiggles around, if the power cable gets yanked or if the unit falls it can easily break. I thought the SP would be more solidly built overall but the bottom part is plastic and the top is a really thin cheap piece of metal, it is nowhere near heavy duty so take care of this machine if you buy it.
The outputs are RCA connectors in the back and a 1/4" headphone out in the front, wish it had 1/4" stereo outs in the back but I just bought a 5$ RCA to quarter inch adapter for that.
I'm still exploring it and have performed live with it a couple times, the lights are very helpful live on dark stages. People that use this machine are JonWayne and Madlib, it's a great box but could use some improvements, still it's the best box for my needs.
Comments about Roland SP-404SX Portable Sampler with Effects:
Overall this machine is great for what it does, but if it had a song mode for sequencing it will be perfect for the studio as a stand alone machine.
For the DJ on the go this is great with hands on performance, but as a producer it is lacking in the sequence department. You 'll have to make a long pattern to emulate a song mode feature. The sampling is awesome. A 16G SD card will give you 24hrs of sampling time. That's a lot for just inserting a memory card rather than installing one.It saves and loads to the memory card on the fly which is great.
The sample rate is CD quality and this machine is built very well. It is nice and compact for space saving.
The value is a good deal seeing that you get to sample over 24hrs on a memory card of 16gigs.

* These are the most commonly chosen major Fields of Study at the PhD level.
+ Note that at the PhD level this field is called 'Human Security/Comparative Politics' and has specific course requirements for PhDs.
As you review each Field of Study listed above, you will see posted on each of the Fields of Study's Academic tabs the "Key" which associates each of the graphic icons with the courses that are required, optional, as well as not offered in the 2014-2015 academic year.
The four Fields of Study that are the International Business fields for the MIB degree include: International Finance and Banking; Marketing; Public and NGO Management; and Strategic Management and International Consultancy. Students in the MIB program must complete one of these four International Business Fields of Study along with one International Affairs (MALD/PhD) Field of Study. The International Affairs Fields of Study are feature in the listing above. MIB students must complete a minimum of three course credits in a single Field of Study to fulfill the International Business Field of Study requirement. Modular courses (1/2 credit courses) must be matched up to make a full credit. Each Field of Study has one required course credit and two elective course credits. An asterisk (*) denotes the required course for the field. Through petition to the Committee on Student Academic Programs, MALD students may offer one of the MIB International Business Fields of Study. However, it should be noted that in doing so, they are ineligible to officially offer the International Business Relations Field toward their plan of study.

Jacks bested by Razorbacks
The South Dakota State men's tennis team opened its spring schedule in Omaha versus Arkansas on Sunday, but was bested 7-0.
The Jackrabbits pushed the Razorbacks in doubles, but was unable to come away with the team point. Mateus Moreira and Lucas Pereira were the lone bright spot on the scoreboard for SDSU, knocking off Arkansas' No. 3 doubles team 8-6.
SDSU was unable to secure the team point, however, as Arkansas won the other two doubles matches.
Parker Lawley and James Thorp teamed up at the top spot and dropped a narrow, 8-5 decision. Andrea Boglić and Henrique Pereira were bested at No. 2.
In singles, Moreira won the first set 6-4 at No. 6, but was unable to close out the match and lost in three sets, 6-2, 10-4 in the second set and third-set super tiebreaker.
H. Pereira battled hard at No. 2, but dropped a 6-2, 6-3 decision. Boglić also fought, but lost both sets 6-3.
"Overall, it was a great night of tennis," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "Obviously Mateus and Lucas scoring the doubles win against a top-level opponent gives us some momentum to build on, especially early in the season. We had some first-match jitters, as well, and it is always nice to get those out of the way. We have a tough schedule ahead and we have plenty to build off of from today. I am happy with the effort and mindset of the team and we are ready for a great season."
Next the Jacks travel to St. Louis, Mo., for a meet at St. Louis. Start time is set for 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26.

12 U.S. Code § 1750c - Mortgage insurance benefits
(a) Conveyance and assignment by mortgagee after foreclosure; debentures and certificates of claim; cost of foreclosure
In any case in which the mortgagee under a mortgage insured under section 1750b of this title shall have foreclosed and taken possession of the mortgaged property, in accordance with regulations of, and within a period to be determined by, the Secretary, or shall, with the consent of the Secretary, have otherwise acquired such property from the mortgagor after default, the mortgagee shall be entitled to receive the benefit of the insurance as hereinafter provided, upon
(1) the prompt conveyance to the Secretary of title to the property which meets the requirements of rules and regulations of the Secretary in force at the time the mortgage was insured, and which is evidenced in the manner prescribed by such rules and regulations; and
(2) the assignment to him of all claims of the mortgagee against the mortgagor or others, arising out of the mortgage transaction or foreclosure proceedings, except such claims as may have been released with the consent of the Secretary. Upon such conveyance and assignment the obligation of the mortgagee to pay the premium charges for insurance shall cease and the Secretary shall, subject to the cash adjustment hereinafter provided, issue to the mortgagee debentures having a total face value equal to the value of the mortgage and a certificate of claim, as hereinafter provided. For the purposes of this subsection, the value of the mortgage shall be determined, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary, by adding to the amount of the original principal obligation of the mortgage which was unpaid on the date of the institution of foreclosure proceedings, or on the date of the acquisition of the property after default other than by foreclosure, the amount of all payments which have been made by the mortgagee for taxes, ground rents, and water rates, which are liens prior to the mortgage, special assessments which are noted on the application for insurance or which become liens after the insurance of the mortgage, insurance of the mortgaged property, and any mortgage insurance premiums and by deducting from such total amount any amount received on account of the mortgage after either of such dates and any amount received as rent or other income from the property, less reasonable expenses incurred in handling the property, after either of such dates: Provided, That with respect to mortgages which are foreclosed before there shall have been paid on account of the principal obligation of the mortgage a sum equal to 10 per centum of the appraised value of the property as of the date the mortgage was accepted for insurance, there may be included in the debentures issued by the Secretary, on account of the cost of foreclosure (or of acquiring the property by other means) actually paid by the mortgagee and approved by the Secretary an amount—
(1) not in excess of 2 per centum of the unpaid principal of the mortgage as of the date of the institution of foreclosure proceedings and not in excess of $75; or
(2) not in excess of two-thirds of such cost, whichever is the greater: Provided further, That with respect to any debentures issued on or after September 2, 1964, the Secretary may, with the consent of the mortgagee (in lieu of issuing a certificate of claim as provided in subsection (e) of this section), include in debentures, in addition to amounts otherwise allowed for such costs, an amount not to exceed one-third of the total foreclosure, acquisition, and conveyance costs actually paid by the mortgagee and approved by the Secretary, but in no event may the total allowance for such costs exceed the amount actually paid by the mortgagee: And provided further, That with respect to mortgages to which the provisions of sections 532 and 536 of the Appendix to title 50, [1] apply and which are insured under section 1750b of this title, and subject to such regulations and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, there shall be included in the debentures an amount which the Secretary finds to be sufficient to compensate the mortgagee for any loss which it may have sustained on account of interest on debentures and the payment of insurance premiums by reason of its having postponed the institution of foreclosure proceedings or the acquisition of the property by other means during any part or all of the period of such military service and three months thereafter.
(b) Consent to release of mortgagee or property
The Secretary may at any time, under such terms and conditions as he may prescribe, consent to the release of the mortgagor from his liability under the mortgage or the credit instrument secured thereby, or consent to the release of parts of the mortgaged property from the lien of the mortgage.
(c) Debentures; form and denomination
Debentures issued under this subchapter shall be in such form and denominations in multiples of $50, shall be subject to such terms and conditions, and shall include such provisions for redemption, if any, as may be prescribed by the Secretary with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, and may be in coupon or registered form. Any difference between the amount of debentures to which the mortgagee is entitled under this section or section 1750g of this title and the aggregate face value of the debentures issued, not to exceed $350, shall be adjusted by the payment of cash by the Secretary to the mortgagee from the General Insurance Fund.
(d) Debentures; execution; negotiability; terms; tax exemptions
The debentures issued under this section to any mortgagee shall be executed in the name of the General Insurance Fund as obligor, shall be signed by the Secretary by either his written or engraved signature, and shall be negotiable. All such debentures shall be dated as of the date foreclosure proceedings were instituted, or the property was otherwise acquired by the mortgagee after default, except that debentures issued pursuant to claims for insurance filed on or after September 2, 1964 shall be dated as of the date of default or as of such later date as the Secretary, in his discretion, may establish by regulation. The debentures shall bear interest from such date at a rate determined by the Secretary, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, at the time the mortgage was accepted for insurance, but not to exceed 3 per centum per annum, payable semiannually on the 1st day of January and the 1st day of July of each year. Such debentures shall mature twenty years after the date thereof. Such debentures shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all taxation (except surtaxes, estate, inheritance, or gift taxes) now or hereafter imposed by any Territory, dependency, or possession of the United States, or by the District of Columbia, or by any State, county, municipality, or local taxing authority, and shall be paid out of the General Insurance Fund, which shall be primarily liable therefor, and they shall be fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States, and such guaranty shall be expressed on the face of the debentures. In the event that the General Insurance Fund fails to pay upon demand, when due, the principal of or interest on any debentures issued under this subchapter, the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to the holders the amount thereof which is authorized to be appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and thereupon to the extent of the amount so paid the Secretary of the Treasury shall succeed to all the rights of the holders of such debentures.
(e) Certificate of claim; division of excess proceeds
(f) Handling and disposal of property; settlement of claims
Notwithstanding any other provision of law relating to the acquisition, handling, or disposal of real property by the United States, the Secretary shall have power to deal with, complete, rent, renovate, modernize, insure, make contracts or establish suitable agencies for the management of, or sell for cash or credit, in his discretion, any properties conveyed to him in exchange for debentures and certificates of claim as provided in this section; and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall also have power to pursue to final collection, by way of compromise or otherwise, all claims against mortgagors assigned by mortgagees to the Secretary as provided in this subchapter: Provided, That section 6101 of title 41 shall not be construed to apply to any purchase or contract for services or supplies on account of such property if the amount thereof does not exceed $1,000. The power to convey and to execute in the name of the Secretary deeds of conveyances, deeds of release, assignments, and satisfactions of mortgages, and any other written instrument relating to real property or any interest therein heretofore or hereafter acquired by the Secretary pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, may be exercised by an officer appointed by him, without the execution of any express delegation of power or power of attorney: Provided, That nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the Secretary from delegating such power by order or by power of attorney in his discretion, to any officer, agent, or employee he may appoint.
(g) Mortgagor's or mortgagee's interest in property or claim conveyed
No mortgagee or mortgagor shall have, and no certification of claim shall be construed to give to any mortgagee or mortgagor, any right or interest in any property conveyed to the Secretary or in any claim assigned to him; nor shall the Secretary owe any duty to any mortgagee or mortgagor with respect to the handling or disposal of any such property or the collection of any such claim.

Study Abroad
Study Abroad
As the world becomes more connected and crossing continental boundaries, international experience is highly desirable to develop cultural awareness and broaden perspective. The core Stevens curriculum now provide for up to six credits that can be applied to international experiences that meet program educational outcomes in addition to traditional course transfer credits from study abroad. Thus, a student has a far stronger prospect of being able to complete a study abroad period without increasing time toward a degree. This change coupled with a strong new focus on international programs will go a long way to encourage students to participate in study and work abroad.
In addition to a traditional study abroad program, Stevens offers a range of short international programs over the summer or during the winter or spring breaks.
The Institute has also been aggressively expanding its international agreements. New partnerships in the following cities will benefit undergraduates: Växjö, Sweden; London, England; Istanbul, Turkey; Buskerud, Norway; Beijing, China and Dublin, Ireland. These complement existing consortia arrangements in Limerick, Ireland; Madrid, Spain and Sydney, Australia, together with previous informal arrangements in Rome, Italy; Innsbruck, Austria; Tel Aviv, Israel and Monterrey, Mexico, among others.
Students and faculty describe the study abroad and international experiences available.

Re: Debt Payment?!?
My husband is experiencing the exact same thing! Here's his situation (hopefully I don't confuse you)...He was attached to a unit to go to a deployment, and that unit never unattached him. He still goes to drill at his normal drill (home unit), and he got back in September of last year. Well, ever since I'd say about October, he's been getting these "debt payments Q3, Q4 (labeled under pay & allow)" taken out of his check. Says the original debt was like in the $900-$1000 range and it keeps deducting from it...there are 3 diff debt payment lines, each with diff original debt amounts, all from a different week. For example: Debt payment Pay & Allow Q3 070810-130810...something like that. and the next line will have 140810-200810 etc...its like a week at a time. We have called the financial people, we've gone all the way up to Major in chain of command, we are getting the run around, and next stop is IG office...UGH it's SO frustrating to keep being told "well we don't know why money is being taken out.." or "it's for over payment of BAH (even though we used the correct address and zip code and were paid what that set rate was at the time, not our fault if it changed without notice)...I think its a little suspicious and we are finding out this is happening to a lot of soldiers...I know that the military is having budget issues, but is it really fair to take it back from the veterans unfairly and without proper notification/reasoning? And to me, a DEBT is something someone owes...and in order to try to recoup a debt, you are supposed to inform the debtor in writing valid reasoning for taking money out of pay to pay off a debt owed. My husband NEVER took out a loan, card, anything with the military and any debts he owed creditors are paid off so it can't be that either...But we feel your pain!! Good luck and hopefully your situation gets cleared up soon!!! :)

[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately, "fair" is not really in the vocabulary of the finance office. They aren't required to give you notification prior to recouping the debt, however you should be able to find out what the debt is for. 9 times out of 10 when there is a debt payment being taken out it is actually for a legit reason. If the unit digs deep enough they can find out what the debt is for. If you have exhausted all resources at the unit and given them time to resolve the issue then perhaps you should contact the IG. They will probably be able to give you an answer within a day or 2. That may not mean getting rid of the debt, but at least you'd know what it is for.

Re: Debt Payment?!?
i'll just add to the story. Couple months ago I had $70 taken out that was a debt. Ended up being an extra order i had that I cancelled having to go to but the motel was already booked... it was a charge from that motel room, like nine months ago...and just popped up now. No warning it would be taken out ahead of time. I was told way back when it would be done, forgot about it, and nine months later saw it taken out. But back to the original poster, if you are in RSP and experience it, its 99% sure going to be that SGLI.

Though not in an educational environment, we recently had to install a new data center for my organization on an extremely low budget.
We chose Linux for our initial DMZ firewall, and for our web and DNS servers. Like you, software cost was a deciding factor, but using Linux allowed us to scrape up a number of old and second hand PCs that couldn't even be considered as Windows 2000 Server candidates.
So far it has been successful. Updates have been automatic, the machines though old, are running reliably. We use not only MRTG for traffic graphing but also Nagios for server monitoring.
People often talk about the Open Source benefits of Linux, which is certainly true, but there is another factor that we often overlook. I think that a key advantage of Linux over Windows is that you can turn the GUI interface totally off. This allows the CPU to dedicate its time to the main functions of the server. The lower overhead means older, cheaper systems can be used and in some cases with better performance than a newer Windows system.
This may be a major consideration in a school where funds are either tight, or the approval process to purchase new equipment is long.
We're using RedHat 9 even though we knew it was near the end of its support life as Fedora Core seemed to have been a little too unstable at the time. I've since installed Fedora and used the most recent updates using "yum" and it seems to work well.
I'm sure other distributions would have worked well, but we stuck with the evil we knew.
Linux Kickstart may be something you may want to consider using if you need your students to install Linux quickly or on many machines.

A Clayton woman scheduled to be sentenced today in Jefferson County Court to state prison and a Watertown man who served jail time in the county for possessing methamphetamine-making materials have admitted they also committed a string of burglaries in Hamilton County.
Andrea L. Lynch, 31, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Hamilton County Court, Indian Lake, to fourth-degree grand larceny and third-degree burglary to satisfy seven charges brought against her by state police, while Hugh J. Broadbent, 28, previously pleaded guilty to all 19 charges contained in a grand jury indictment, including four third-degree burglary counts, according to state police at Ray Brook. The charges stemmed from burglaries at homes and seasonal residences in Hamilton County, part of a string that also included burglaries in Lewis and Herkimer counties.
Police said Mr. Broadbent has agreed to a sentence in Hamilton County that includes five to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Oct. 31. Ms. Lynch is due to be sentenced Nov. 20, although police did not specify terms of the proposed sentence.
Ms. Lynch already faces a two- to four-year sentence in County Court after a Sept. 18 guilty plea to third-degree grand larceny and admission that she violated probation. She admitted that during June and July she stole $6,334 from Jreck Subs in Clayton. At the time, she was serving five years probation imposed for guilty pleas in September 2012 to fourth-degree grand larceny and third-degree unlawfully manufacturing methamphetamine.
In that case, she admitted that between Sept. 1 and 11, 2011, she stole more than $1,000 from her employer, Sunnybank Restaurant, Cape Vincent. She also admitted that on Jan. 23 or 24, 2011, she possessed pseudoephedrine, lithium, ammonium nitrate and other items used in the manufacture of methamphetamine at her residence.
At the time of her Sept. 18 plea, Judge Kim H. Martusewicz said Ms. Lynch still may face additional prison time for violating federal parole. She was sentenced in November in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, to nine months time served for a June 25, 2012, guilty plea to misappropriation of postal funds. She admitted that while working at post offices in Theresa, Fishers Landing and LaFargeville, she embezzled 213 money orders totaling $51,162 without purchasing or processing any of the money orders through the St. Louis Federal Reserve, in violation of federal law. The U.S. attorneys office said Ms. Lynch admitted using the money orders to support a heroin addiction.
Mr. Broadbent pleaded guilty in March 2012 in County Court to second-degree criminal possession of methamphetamine-making materials, admitting that he possessed items used for the manufacture of methamphetamine at Ms. Lynchs Deferno Road home. He was sentenced in May 2012 to a year in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, from which he was released Oct. 10, 2012.
Both are being held at the Hamilton County jail.

Some called it a toy, some called it a tool, some said it is necessary, others excessive.
The words used to describe the $600,000, 20-ton, heavily armored 2008 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, vehicle donated to the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department by the Department of Defense laid out the opposing sides of the debate at the Tuesday meeting of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators.
It was almost a perfectly symmetrical argument. Four Jefferson County residents spoke out against the armored truck and four sheriffs deputies gave the reasons why they wanted it.
In the end, it was equal only up to a point. Legislators voted 8-6 to approve the acquisition of the vehicle.
The outcome was a surprise to some board members, who predicted that the resolution to accept the vehicle would be shot down during the meeting.
But persuasive commentsfrom deputies on the Sheriffs Emergency Response Team seemed to sway some, and the vehicle will stay in the departments back lot, where it will be used to respond to only the most dire situations, according to Undersheriff Paul W. Trudeau.
Im not going to stand here and say that the vehicle is not large, Mr. Trudeau told legislators before they voted. But it fits our needs; it fits our purpose. If we have to use that vehicle, then the people of Jefferson County will be glad we have it.
The MRAP, which weighs 19 tons empty and up to 21.7 tons fully loaded with equipment and personnel, was developed to protect American troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq from improvised explosive devices. It has bulletproof glass and a specialized V-shaped hull to protect against explosions. It can hold a two-person crew and up to six passengers. It also has a turret for a gunner, although there are no plans to install a gun there, according to Sheriff John P. Burns.
Mr. Burns applied for the vehicle through the federal governments 1033 program, which distributes excess government property to law enforcement agencies for counter-drug and counter-terrorism activities.
Mr. Burns said he applied for the vehicle because he was looking for something that would allow deputies to approach buildings in which suspects had barricaded themselves or taken hostages.
The department has responded to 12 such situations since 1999, according to information given to legislators by Mr. Trudeau.
An armored vehicle was brought in from another law enforcement agency in five of those situations, according to the data.
Legislator Robert J. Thomas, R-Glen Park, a former police officer, voted for the MRAP.
Things happen very quickly. Ive been shot at myself. I know what it feels like, he said. An injured or dead police officer is of no value.
Legislators who voted against the measure were James A. Nabywaniec, R-Calcium; Michael A. Docteur, R-Cape Vincent; John D. Peck, R-Great Bend; Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown; Michael W. Behling, R-Watertown, and board Chairwoman Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, R-Watertown.
After the meeting, Mrs. Fitzpatrick said she voted against the resolution because the vehicle was not the right fit for the county.
I never called this vehicle a toy, as others had, but its not the right tool for the toolbox, she said.
The MRAP was donated to the county free of charge. Annual maintenance costs are estimated to be about $500, according to County Highway Superintendent James L. Lawrence Jr.
Training on the vehicle will be conducted by military veterans in the department with the assistance of Fort Drum personnel, Mr. Trudeau said.
If the department is not satisfied with the vehicle, it can return it to the Department of Defense.

DA: Mother Will Not Be Charged In Son's Bathtub Drowning
The Brooklyn district attorney's office on Monday announced it has declined to prosecute the mother of an eleven-month old boy who apparently drowned in the bathtub. A spokesman with the Brooklyn district attorney's office says while the death of Elijah Pardella was tragic and accidental, it doesn't rise to a level of criminality. Investigators say officers were called to an apartment located at 148 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York just after 3 p.m. Sunday and found the 11-month-old unresponsive. Sources say his mother, Angelica Huertas, 24, was giving him and another child a bath. Read More: NY1
Yankees GM calls AL East 'a toss-up'
A year after naming the Red Sox as the team to beat in the AL East, Yankees GM Brian Cashman called the division a "tossup" this season and added the Rangers should be the team to beat in the American League. "Texas is clearly the favorite in the league," Cashman said Tuesday before the Yankees played the Mets at Digital Domain Park. "They've won it two straight years. But Anaheim and Detroit have made significant improvements. Read More: New York Post

MTA chief says Bloomberg's dream of extending No. 7 train to NJ is 'not going to happen'
The No. 7 train isn't going to New Jersey anytime soon. Mayor Bloomberg's dream project of extending the line across the Hudson River isn't happening anytime soon — if it ever does at all, the head of the MTA said today. The subway extension to New Jersey likely is "not going to happen in our lifetime," MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota said at a New York Building Congress forum. He added, "It's not going to happen in anybody's lifetime." Bloomberg has long supported a proposal to bring the 7 train to Seacaucus, NJ, a colossal effort that would cost billions to accomplish.

A 25-year-old man, who was not identified by police, was pulled from the wreckage and rushed to Lutheran Hospital. He died a short time later from his injuries, police said. Two other workers were treated at the scene for minor injuries, police said. The cause of the collapse remains under investigation. Read More: New York Post

Not to get all scientific on you, dear readers, but today's Trend Report reminds us a lot of Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion, specifically that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. With so many bright prints and neon hues illuminating our ensembles this season, outfits consisting of varying shades of white have become a welcome palette cleanser as of late. Ushering in a completely different and new way of brightening up our wardrobes this summer, white-on-white layers put a fresh spin on monochromatic dressing, and as demonstrated by discernable tastemakers like Ashley Olsen and Jessica Alba, the results are very chic indeed!
On The Runway
Though a mix of stark white hues suit the spring and summer months best, we actually found inspiration for today's story in Acne's Pre-Fall 12 collection-revealing this trend's year-round appeal. For the collection, designer Jonny Johansson channeled rebellious youth during the MTV era (a.k.a. the early '90s, when the music channel was in its initial heyday), showing looks with all-weather leather, midriff-baring tops, and sheer panels. For the collection's single white-on-white ensemble, Johansson expertly teamed the boxy Alaine XXL Jacket ($2300) with the Jami Poplin Shirt ($320), Roxy Short Skirt ($290) and Parker Plastic Boots ($1300). The mix of proportions and materials (leather, cotton, and Lucite) help break up the crisp monochromatic color palette, giving the overall outfit its visually interesting and modern look.
On The Streets and At Events/Simple and Chic
Mixed whites are quickly catching on off the runways too-just look at the outfit Ashley Olsen constructed while out in Beverly Hills last month, for example. The fashion mogul created a relaxed weekend look by styling an oversized, cream Celine sleeveless knit sweater over a linen skirt by The Row. While we obviously adore Olsen's easygoing take on the trend, we're also partial to Chloe Sevigny's borrowed-from-the-boys styling. The actress turned up at the New Museum's spring gala in New York two months ago wearing BLK DNM's Blazer 6 ($600, 212.966.6258) and Pant 6 ($170, 212.966.6258) in Milk, plus the Shirt 28 ($190, 212.966.6258) in White with an Olympia Le-Tan book clutch (find similar styles here). We love how the on-point blend of white hues lends the sophisticated, menswear-inspired separates a decidedly feminine feel. Additionally, we're quite smitten with the outfit Natascha Elisa of In Search of Sadie assembled on Stockholm StreetStyle recently. The fashionable femme created a nuanced look by simply styling an embellished white button-up by Funktional with Isabel Marant cuffed white jeans. This fuss-free combo can easily take you from the office to happy hour with friends, and happens to be the perfect canvas for adding bright accessories, like her multicolored clutch.
On The Streets and At Events/Effortlessly Layered
Another option for addressing this one-hued trend is to go for multiple, lightweight layers in varied shades of white-a chic outfit suggestion that works well for chilly afternoons. Jessica Alba pulled off this particular look with ease while out in New York City last month, when she paired Joie's Bronx Suede Elbow Patch Sweater ($125) in Mushroom with a white button-up and Brunello Cucinelli cuffed trousers. Adding even more white to her ensemble, Alba accessorized with Tory Burch's Walking Fedora ($87.50), Proenza Schouler's PS1 Lux Leather Pouch Bag ($1325), and Casedei's Blade Wedges ($750) for a flawless finish. Model/blogger Hanneli Mustaparta also made our mixed whites best-dressed list, thanks to her seamless blend of off-white hues and interesting textures at the Jeremy Laing F/W 12 show during NYFW back in February. Consisting of Tibi's Leather Fencing Coat ($1390, 212.226.5852) paired with a Ralph Lauren knit sweater, Rag & Bone's The Skinny Cords ($88) in Winter White, and a metal Proenza Schouler necklace, the style savant's front-row ensemble was anything but vanilla.
On You
We recently read that more shades of white are available commercially than any other color, which means stocking up on a slew of stylish pieces to suit today's monochromatic look should be a breeze. If Olsen's casual weekend ensemble resonated with you, pick up a lightweight tank dress, like T by Alexander Wang's Cami Tank Dress ($97), and throw on a relaxed knit in an off-white color; in this case, we suggest Baserange's Long Sleeve Crewneck Sweater ($82). Fancy yourself a pair of white jeans? A summer wardrobe isn't complete without a pair, so try Mango's Super Slim Jeans ($70) or Madewell's Skinny Skinny Jeans ($115) with a cool, white button-up, like Zara's Studded Denim Shirt ($90), for your next afternoon shopping excursion. For a nine-to-five take on the look, go for a shorts suit (it's ideal for the warmer months) like Thakoon's Suiting Blazer ($693) and Pleat Front Shorts ($343). A textured button-up in a slightly brighter shade of white--our favorite is Pencey's eyelet Sleeveless Shirt ($167)--will break up your outfit and prevent it from feeling one note.
Alba and Mustaparta's effortlessly layered looks are easy to recreate too! Simply start with a knit sweater or casual tee, like A.L.C.'s Ainsley Sweater ($346) or Gap's Essential Crewneck T ($15) for the top half, and add either Elizabeth and James' Milo Cropped Crepe Pants ($285) or Ann Taylor's Cotton Perfect Capris ($68). Note: if you'd prefer to try shorts instead, we think Acne's Bacall Silk Shorts ($250) are a very chic, dressier option. Once you have your bottom half sorted, incorporate a lightweight cardi, like J. Crew's Jackie Cardigan ($62) or Vince's Tucked Stitch Cardigan ($395).
Finally, you can add even more white to your look by tossing a few accessories into the mix! Goorin Bros'Fine Day Hat ($45) is a wardrobe necessity, especially if you're going spend a good amount of time in the sun this summer, while Reiss' Keli Snake Print Belt ($115) is perfect for giving shape to a flowy white frock. Kendra Scott's Harlow Necklace ($195) will bring a touch of luxury to any outfit, and in case you haven't already snagged a pair of white shoes, you must try Aldo's very affordable Hembre Sandals ($50) or Elizabeth and James' Stela Pumps ($375)! Whatever items you pick, just know you have exactly 89 days left until Labor Day, giving you more than enough time to test-drive each of today's white-on-white looks!--Jessica Baker

Gene Muckridge, of Sebastian, scours the reef near Fort Pierce Inlet for fish while participating in the Treasure Coast Lionfish Safari on Saturday morning. "(I decided to participate) just to get rid of the lionfish off the reef, so we can keep our fish and our reefs healthy," said Muckridge.
Team Lionfish Liquidators brought back to the docks 105 fish during the first day of the Treasure Coast Lionfish Safari. "We're gonna kill them tomorrow. This was just a practice run," said team member Tim Collier. "We know where they're at now."

Comments about Natal Drums Limited Edition Series Old World Bronze Snare Drum:
Natal drums are awesome, the build quality the sound and the features. I made the mistake of hitting this snare with a stick and thats all it took, I had to have it. Bronze snares never really impressed me until this one came along. It has a nice fat crack but dry at the same time but not to dry just a nice sound and it can be loud and cut through. The stock head has a built in muffling ring that dries it out just a little too much so It has a Remo coated ambassador on it and it sounds fantastic! The lugs look great and the throw off functions flawlessly. This snare would be great for just about anything you can throw at it. It is sensitive and bright. I have a bunch of other metal snares ( Aluminum, brass steel) from big manufactures and this is by far my favorite. I find this snare sound to be on par with the 6.5 x14 Ludwig Superphonic, Black Beauty, Acrolite to name a few, an instant classic IMO! Just do yourself a favor and get it!
