"Others in the crowd may maliciously yell out, 'Worst class ever!' or 'Touch the fire!' Those are the chants of those misguided souls who may believe that tradition lives on in demeaning the experiences of others."
It reads like a celestial warning but in reality, this is a quote from the 2013 Homecoming edition of the undergraduate dean's newsletter, advising the Class of 2017 not to touch the fire. The warning was short-lived — members of the Class of 2017 touched the fire, as did those in the Class of 2018 last week.
While not everyone approves of touching the fire, and even fewer students consider it a tradition, having the upperclassmen yell "touch the fire" at the running freshmen is something that has happened at Dartmouth for many years.
And this is not where the story ends.
Not only do the upperclassmen chant during the bonfire, but various freshmen deviate from their circular leaps to do exactly as they are told.
In the rush of the moment, they run toward the hot, blazing bonfire as if they were jumping in as a sacrifice to a mighty fire god (think about it, this is more similar to pagan rites than we would like to admit).
However, this is Dartmouth, and they don't jump into the bonfire. Instead, they touch the fire, amusing the spectators and getting chased by Hanover Police.
See, touching the fire is illegal. It is considered a disorderly conduct offense, and lands you a night in jail and a fine of approximately $900.
Allegedly, three male freshmen including campus-known rapper Ill Fayze (Marcus Reid '18 who doesn't live in coats) succumbed to the chanting and decided to make their class proud while gaining some extra social points.
While Reid, who in an e-mail to The Dartmouth said he was the first to touch the fire, didn't get caught, another one of the fire-touchers, Braden Pellowski '18, didn't have quite the same luck. Pellowski declined to comment.
After getting fined for the offense, Pellowski had the clever idea to start a GoFundMe campaign titled "Touched the Fire" in order to get the $700 s he was missing to pay his fine. In the description, Pellowski recounts how he thought he had gotten away from the police only to be caught later. Within a day of his online funding campaign, he had already reached his goal.
Various students claim to have seen a third '18 touch the fire as well. However, we received no direct confirmation from him.
While many are questioning if "touching the fire" is worthy of a Dartmouth tradition, I am faced with another question — do they burn their hands? I personally haven't seen any burns, which makes me wonder if we should start calling it something else, like "close-enough-to-the-touching-the-fire-but-I'm-not-burning-myself."
One way or another and whether we like it or not, adrenaline-pumped occasionally tipsy freshmen attempting to touch the fire is just another part of Dartmouth's Homecoming bonfire.
Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch. Lest the old traditions fail.

See what people are saying about us:
Some people want pats-on-the-back or for someone to tell them how good their work is, I needed someone to kick me square in the balls and give me an honest critique. I had others read my stuff but I got nowhere near the feedback you provided. I would say I got more than I expected and that's a great thing.
Fantastic, great turnaround! The best I've had yet and the price was right on the money. The service was great and the notes were very helpful - more so than the Tracking Board coverage I purchased for the same script.
Very comprehensive review. [WeScreenplay] has given me the advice to help me get a sale in the industry.
It was obvious the Reader read my script cover to end. Their comments and suggestions were very helpful. Rather than just list issues the Reader explained "why" and gave well thought out suggestions. I'll be using your services again.
I sent my script on Friday afternoon, and by 8:30 Monday morning had 10 pages of extremely thoughtful notes. Well under 72 hour turnaround, especially since it was a weekend. Very impressive.
Very constructive criticism that provides excellent direction for the next rewrite.
I sent my script on Friday afternoon, and by 8:30 Monday morning had 10 pages of extremely thoughtful notes. Well under 72 hour turnaround, especially since it was a weekend. Very impressive.
Thoughtful read, great suggestions for fixes.
The response was professional and the feedback conveyed that the reader read the story thoroughly. I was extremely content with the feedback.
I love that the readers who read and evaluated my script gave the time, energy, and thought required for necessary feedback. I am very impressed with the level of professionalism and the articulation in the feedback.
Great feedback on how to improve the overall script - Catching spelling and grammar issue. You will get more of my business!
Very impressed with my analyst. Wow!!! They really took the time to do a terrific job. I would request them again and use your services for my next several scripts. It was by fate that I found you all on the web and called and talked to you on the phone on Tuesday. I have finally found a service that can help me. I am also an actress and I will share your services in acting class next week with my actor friends who are also writers. Thank you for your guidance and help. I will make the changes to the script and feel more confident about having a movie that is solid. Sending my best!!!
Turnaround time was as promised, I got what I needed and what I payed for. Also, I had some follow up questions for the annalist, and that was dealt with in express manner, by the Customer Support. So, all I can say is that I am very pleased.
The turn-around time was excellent. Most companies make you wait 2 - 3 weeks and pay extra for a 5-day turnaround. WeScreenplay gives you 72hrs right off the bat. That's good business.
My script is an especially tangled web of meta story elements (that are currently in a messy state), so it's impressive that the reader took the time to articulate his thoughts in the manner he did. Excellent value.
The information provided was so incredibly insightful and helpful. AMAZING! I knew my screenplay needed help, but I had no idea where. Your team provided a solid, smart direction. Thank you
Good notes, good ideas. thank you. I wish I knew you existed earlier. The great thing is that I got quality and a great price. Usually it is one or the other. Use my quote for promoting if you like.
Great turnaround time. Good feedback. Provided a synopsis and logline -- very useful.

Pawlenty on Healthcare: Thanks, but No Thanks
Governor Tim Pawlenty still hasn't announced his 2012 Presidential plans, but one thing's for sure: He doesn't want to see Obama's healthcare plan set foot in Minnesota. AP reports yesterday he ordered state agencies to decline "discretionary" involvement with the federal law "unless otherwise required by law or approved by the Governor's office."
Pawlenty's long been vehemently opposed to the President's plan and in this op-ed in the Washington Post, laid out his suggestions for the nation, modeled after, you guessed it: Minnesota. They include incentives, pay for performance, and liability reform.
Of course, some are saying this is just his way of projecting himself into the national spotlight for a 2012 race, so he could, in theory, go head to head with Governor Mitt Romney.
Time will tell.

RFE: Conference Listings
This service is a joint project of RFE and EconBiz.
International Association for the Study of the Commons IASC;Agricultural University, Plovdiv
- Dates:
- September 14-17, 2011
- Description:
- IASC European Meeting 2011 - International Association for the Study of the Commons
- Location:
- Plovdiv, Bulgaria
- Subject:
- The regional meeting of the EU branch of the IASC will have as its theme ??Shared Resources in a Rapidly Changing World??, reflecting the emphasis on the currently well recognized fact that many if not most resources (e.g. natural resources, social capital, knowledge) require a shared management regime. This is due to complex socio-ecological inter-dependencies, which do not stop neither at national boundaries nor private properties. But a multitude of combined and mixed governance regimes is necessary to manage these resources in an efficient and sustainable way. Accelerated change creates a particular threat to joint management regimes; however, as we are currently in a period of fast change, the conference puts an emphasis on the implication of this fact.[gem?_?? den Informationen des Anbieters - according to site editor's information]

Washington, DCA groundbreaking new study finds that genes significantly affect variation in voter turnout, shedding new light on the reasons why people vote and participate in the political system.
The research, conducted by political scientists James H. Fowler, Christopher T. Dawes (of UC San Diego) and psychologist Laura A. Baker (of University of Southern California), appears in the May issue of the American Political Science Review, a journal of the American Political Science Association (APSA). The article is available online at: www.apsanet.org/imgtest/APSRMay08Fowler_etal.pdf.
"Although we are not the first to suggest a link between genes and political participation," note the authors, "this study is the first attempt to test the idea empirically." They do so by conducting three tests of the claim that part of the variation in political participation can be attributed to genetic factors. The results suggest that individual genetic differences make up a large and significant portion of the variation in political participation, even after taking socialization and other environmental factors into account. They also suggest that, contrary to decades of conventional wisdom, family upbringing may have little or no effect on children's future participatory behavior.
In conducting their study, the authors examine the turnout patterns of identical and non-identical twinsincluding 396 twins in Los Angeles County and 806 twins in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Their findings suggest that 53% of the variation in turnout can be accounted for by genetic effects in the former, with similar outcomes in the latter.
Moreover, genetic-based differences extend to a broad class of acts of political participation, including donating to a campaign, contacting an official, running for office, and attending a rally. According to Fowler, "we

On the Potential of Limitation-Oriented Malware Detection and Prevention Techniques on Mobile Phones
Download Now
Date Added: Jan 2010
Format: PDF
The malware threat for mobile phones is expected to increase with the functionality enhancement of mobile phones. This threat is exacerbated with the surge in population of smart phones instilled with stable Internet access which provides attractive targets for malware developers. Prior research on malware protection has focused on avoiding the negative impact of the functionality limitations of mobile phones to keep the performance cost within the limitations of mobile phones. Being different, this paper investigates the positive impact of these limitations on suppressing the development of mobile malware. The paper studies the state-of-the-art mobile malware, as well as the progress of academic research and industrial effort against mobile malware.

Your order arrived in good shape. They were easy to assemble and we liked the fact that you used wooden pegs rather than screws to attach the legs. We were so pleased by the first order of two teak benches we ordered that we ordered two more.
We bought the teak benches for seating in our martial arts school, the Stow Martial Arts Center. Two benches grace our entry lobby and provide seating for students waiting to be picked up and also for a place to sit while removing shoes. The other teakwood benches are in our changing rooms to provide seating while changing into karate uniforms.
The design of the benches is just right for our school which has a combination Western and Asian look to the decor.
Yours in budo,
Stow Martial Arts Center

I bought this chain hoist to raise the front of my lawn tractor so I could service it easier. This hoist is easily portable, simple to use and can go anywhere. A close examination shows its well made. No complaints here.
Review/rating of recent chain-fall purchase.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Ordered the chain-fall online and received it within 5 days. Tried it a few days later using it to lift my mower to remove and sharpen blades. Worked great and raised the mower with ease. Chain to raise and lower the load is very grimey but that can be easily remedied. Should come in handy for about anything I need to lift. It also had a 20% discount on it when I ordered. At this point I'm satisfied with the purchase. Should make lifting projects a breeze.
Worth it

Good deal. Works good. I use it to lift our camps zero turn to work on the blades. Speeds things up, simple to use.
effortlessly raised riding mower
By VJ
from Jasper, Ga
I used this to lift riding mower up to change belts. Surprised by how easy to raise the mower up. I've owned this hoist about a week. Very pleased.
Great value, and saves my back!
By Wintun
from Georgetown, CA
I purchased this item to be able to lift a generator into the back of my truck, and also be able to unload it. This hoist works flawlessly, and the long chain is ideal for tall ceilings.I would recommend this to anyone that needs a hoist in their garage.
I worried for nothing!
By McFly
from Asheville, NC
I work in construction and needed a chain hoist to lift 600 lb. tubular steel columns vertically in place for a high gable wall. I figured all chain hoists would be fine but after reading reviews of other major brand store competitors I figured I had better look into getting a GOOD hoist. The job we were performing required safety and lifting power. I'm glad I read the positive reviews about this hoist before purchasing. Nightmare reviews with some other brands. This hoist performed flawlessly and smoothly!!!! After what we achieved with it I recommend it for anyone who uses it within the confines of its capacity. We lifted 600 lbs. with our fingertips! The 10' chain was a benefit to us. For the money I can't recommend this hoist enough!!

Great Tool
By Gerald
from Ringgold, Ga.
Lifting mowers, Tillers, Generators etc. to do repairs etc. Works perfect for all my lifting needs. Should have had one many years ago and the price was half of the others I checked and seems to be better built.
Does It's Job!
By AVFDmedic
from Auburn, NY
Bought this because, frankly, I am not as young as I used to be and cannot do the lifting I once could. This morning I attached it to the main beam of the barn for the first time and proceeded to lift our four wheeler 5 feet off the ground, backed the truck underneath, set it down, and away we went! Works perfectly and made a hard job essentially effortless. This will have a permanent home in my barn!

1,300 lbs
By Fermbo
from Ingleside TX
I was very impressed with this chain hoist. I attached the chain hoist to my A frame and used it to lift my Lincoln AS 200 welding machine which weighs 1,300 lbs. It did very well. It would have been better if it came with a bigger Hook to attach it to the 3 ton pad I.

I have had a dream to build something really cool for the past 10 years and I think with recent research this dream is starting to become a possible reality. I may have talked about this in the past but didn't really know what direction to head in but now I think I have a better grasp on what I can do. It will be a major undertaking but I think it is innovative enough that if I am successful it can be used as a basis for a bunch of projects.
I want to build a new system for interfacing into vehicles. if we look at how a printer is connected to our computer we don't need to know specifics on how the printer works. We just need to know what it supports and using a generic driver do what we need to do. If the same printer also has a fax and scanner you can also take advantage of those with the same driver. If you get a new printer you just load the proper driver and use your original software and away you go.
I want to make dealing with cars this easy. In short I want to build a Vehicle Bus Device system. Initially it would be windows based but could be adapted to others I am sure. I may use C# with .Net due to its rapid code building capability or use C++. I can always port it to C++ at a later time or just use Mono to move it to Linux. The intention would be to make a high level system that would allow a software package to work with any car and be able to control any system in that car. The software package accessing this device doesn't need to worry if the car is a ford, chevy, bmw or whatever.
As I see it this device will be sort of like a tree type device with 2 levels to it. There will be an interface level and a vehicle level.
The interface level would be the actual interface between the vehicle and the computer. This would default to a single ODBII connection but could actually be multiple ODBII devices to take advantage of multiple data buses in the vehicle or could even be a custom interface built with an Arduino type device to add an interface to the computer. I will be able to test this with my Truck which is almost fully controlled via CANBUS and with my older ODBI based caprice. In the older ODBI vehicle I will have very limited options available since it only deals with the engine and transmission but I would be able to add functions by building a new interface into my vehicle. This interface could be to control my windows, pop the trunk or whatever I can think up. The intent is that this VBUS device won't care how it works.. Just that it is available.
While doing research I have seen some test rigs that have as many as 4 or more CANBUS hookups and other types of in vehicle data networks such as LIN or non ODBII compliant networks. This would allow full connections to a vehicle for testing or whatever. The intent of this device system is it won't care how may interfaces you have. Your end software package will still work the same way. There will need to be a way to prioritize which interface to use when more than one interface accesses the same module. This would be useful for when one bus allows full access to a module and another bus only allows limited access.
The other level would be the vehicle level. This would be vehicle dependent and be where you have an interface that works with many vehicles. I am not sure yet how to progress with this but I am thinking that the default ODBII driver should contain anything that can be accessed through the normal ODBII device. This universal driver could then be over ridden or expanded upon by other interfaces.
The end product of this experience?
In my control panel I will have a "Vehicle Bus" option and in device manager there will be a "Vehicle bus" item listed when connected to a vehicle.
In this you would be able to configure some of the options that may be available. It will operate much like how a printer works.
(Linux would obviously have a different interface)
The software package would be able to communicate with the VBUS device and request a generic piece of information such as RPM and the device would return it in a simple format regardless of the original source. If a vender wants to make their proprietary device work with the software they could easily do so by extending the drivers already included.

Tip of the Month: Contact a Trinity Counselor today to learn more about Trinity's financial education programs for budgeting, credit scoring and debt management: 800.758.3844. View Trinity's online financial education program MoneyEd to test your knowledge of personal finance.
Trinity Counselors Answer Your Credit & Debt Questions
We would like to share some of the less common questions Trinity counselors receive from clients and hope that they provide you with information that will strengthen your understanding of credit and maybe provoke a few questions along the way. And, as always, we look forward to answering any questions that you may have.
Car Rental Debt and Credit Inquiries
What do I need to know about using debit cards for car rentals? Will using a debit card lead to a credit inquiry?
While a rental car can be obtained using a debit card, it's important to understand that a rental car company will need to run a credit report to evaluate risk. As with all financial services, rental car companies need to measure risk to adequately protect themselves against financial losses. Unlike credit cards, which require users to borrow money from credit card issuers to pay for purchases, debit cards draw funds from the user's own checking or savings account. Debit transactions are limited to how much cash is available in those accounts, which fluctuates during a given day as funds are spent and deposits made. In addition, financial institutions may impose daily limits on the amount of transactions processed with debit cards, in contrast to credit cards, which typically don't have daily limits, leading rental car companies to be more wary of debit cards than credit cards.
Aside from car rentals, are there other instances where using a debit card could lead to a credit inquiry?
Generally, any time a service provider is unsure of risk, a credit score is used to determine extending services. For instance, cell phone services will ask for credit card information and in cases where a debit card is used a consumer will have to deposit a larger amount of money and have a minimal score for services. In practice, however, counselors don't see credit inquires that resulted from using debit cards for transactions.
Should I avoid using debit cards for rental car transactions?
Consumers should not be wary of using debit cards for rental car transactions. In fact, most rental car services rent cars using debit cards but rely on credit scores to extend lending terms. Using a debit card will result in a credit inquiry but the impact to a consumer's credit score is minimal—somewhere between 3 to 5 points—and will not create long-term credit problems. Inquiries are commonly done to verify consumer information so lenders are not overly concerned with such requests. Other considerations using a debit card include limitations on services such as allowing only in-state services and restricting out-of-state travel, age restrictions to be 25 years old or older to rent, or requiring a larger deposit.
What are the advantages of using a debit card for obtaining services?
For many families affected by the recent economy, through job losses, layoffs, or health care expenses, credit capacity has declined. Increasingly, families are using debit cards for obtaining services. Families should use debit cards and secure any needed services. Using a debit card will help families regain confidence in making financial decisions and give families a sense of momentum to reach other personal finance goals.
Can Parents Manage a Student Credit Card?
Can a student's parents manage a student credit card? Can they see charges and balances and control a student's spending?
Under the CARD Act, students must now be 21 to obtain a credit card. But parents can allow a student to become an authorized user on their credit accounts. In the case that parents allow a student to become an authorized user, parents can manage a student's credit card and control how the card is used. For instance, if a student does not control spending or makes purchases that are not supported by the parents, then parents can cut off access to the card. Allowing students to become an authorized user is a great way to help the student build credit. But it must be done with caution. To help parents manage a student's credit card debt, I would suggest setting a lower balance limit for the student. With a lower limit, the student cannot exceed a spending limit and it helps parents manage expenses and monitor transactions.
Can parents limit certain types of transactions? How much control do parents have over student's spending?
Parents can control the types of transactions made by setting spending limits and controlling usage. If they are not happy with the types of transactions, they can ask the creditor to remove the student from the account or eliminate them as an authorized user. The issue is about knowing your student and their level of responsibility. If the student does not seem to understand the costs of using credit, then don't allow them access as an authorized user. The result could be costly to the parents—they have to pay it back, not the student.
What do parents need to know in general about how student credit cards work?
Parents should understand that the market for student cards is strong and many options are available. A student card offers different terms, higher interest rates, and lower limits than other credit cards. For instance, reviewing creditcards.com will provide a range of student credit card options. Using the website, parents can review cards fees, interest rates, terms and credit lines. But credit cards are not the only option for students. Parents can help students with a prepaid credit card. With a prepaid card, parents can add to the balance or reload the card to meet expenses, or set spending limits for students. However, using a prepaid card doesn't help build credit—it functions like a credit card but doesn't report to a credit bureau.
Again, parents need to know what approach—authorized user, prepaid, or credit card—works best for their student. Another option is a secured card, where the parent helps secure a line of credit with cash. Parents can put money into an account and help a student get a credit card before age 21. The option is attractive because it helps students build credit and control credit card debt. If the student defaults, the bank takes the cash—so banks are left with little or no risk in making the secured loan. Lastly, parents could co-sign for a student's credit card. While it helps to build the student's credit the risk falls on parents—if the student doesn't pay, parents' are fully liable for the debts. Above all, parents need to know their options and work towards finding a card that works best for the student.
What is the benefit of students using debit cards? What is a secured card?
Often students are not prepared to manage credit cards and graduate college with excessive credit card debts and limited credit capacity. To avoid debts and minimize long-term credit problems, Trinity counselors advise parents to use a prepaid card. The prepaid card helps build knowledge and skills and introduces student's to personal finance—it helps student's better learn to budget funds and make financial choices because the prepaid card has set spending limits. Or parents could use a secured credit card. With the secured card, the student builds credit history, learns to use a credit card and prepares for other lines of credit. Most importantly, we want to build skills and knowledge and prepare students for managing credit responsibly.
Credit & Debt Scams
What are a few common credit and debt scams?
Debt Assistance: Fraudulent callers seek to exploit the fact that many people face mounting credit card bills. The callers make unsolicited phone calls promising to help lower a person's interest rates. Usually they require the consumer to pay high up-front fees of as much as $2,000 or more. Once the consumer pays the money, however, the companies fail to deliver the promised services. The end result: the consumer now is out $2,000.
ID Theft: Calls are made by criminals whose intent is to obtain personal financial information to commit identity theft. The callers may attempt to gain trust by indicating that they are associated with a bank, or that they only need to "verify your banking information" to help lower your interest rate. In other cases, they may claim to be able to negotiate better terms or conditions on a credit card account, and then pressure the citizen to disclose financial information to take advantage of their "limited time offer."
Robo Calls: People are receiving a high volume of repeat calls from "Card Services" or similarly-named entities. People who ask the callers to take them off their calling list often run into a host of problems ranging from "spoofed" telephone numbers to third-party telephone companies that are unresponsive. Because "Card Services" callers are scam operators, they do not follow laws like the Do Not Call law, or prohibitions on recorded calls.
Spoofed Telephone Calls: Scammers making unwanted telephone calls use a new technology called "caller ID spoofing" to falsify caller ID information. This means that telephone services such as caller ID, *69 (last call return) and *57 (call trace) are no longer reliable. The use of "spoofed" numbers by fraudsters who hide from the law is spreading due to phone companies' installation of computer equipment that allows Internet-connected computers to cheaply make phone calls to conventional telephones. Technology allows the scammer to make unidentifiable phone calls to a person's home. When a person returns a "spoofed" call, they find that the number is disconnected, not in service, or is assigned to someone who is very obviously not the scammer. Report spoofed calls to the Federal Communications Commission.
Federal Communications Commission Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 1-888-225-5322 www.fcc.gov
How can I avoid credit card scams?
Never give your contact information to anyone over the phone. If you have questions about your credit history, pull a credit report from annualcreditreport.com or contact a credit counseling organization to have a qualified credit counselor assist you.
Do Requests for Credit Card Limit Increases Show on Your Credit Report? How does requesting a credit limit increase work?
The process is simple: call a customer service representative and ask for your credit limit to be increased or apply online for a credit increase. The question is, however, do you have the required credit score to qualify for the increase? Prior to asking for the increase, pull a credit report and review your account balances. If you have carrying high balances—or carrying more than 30% of the total credit limit—you likely will be denied.
How does a credit limit increase affect your credit report and score?
One of the key factors contributing to your credit score is the utilization rate, or the percentage of available credit you use on your credit cards (sometimes referred to as the credit-debt ratio). Utilization rate is calculated for each card individually and for all your cards in aggregate. The lower the rate, the more it boosts your credit score.
For example, if you have a credit card that has a $3,000 credit limit, ideally you should only charge up to $900, or 30 percent of the limit. That shows you have discipline when it comes to charging on your credit cards and you're not risky because you aren't close to maxing out your credit card.
So, your issuer is actually helping your utilization rate by increasing your limit. Suppose you are charging that same $900 balance, but your limit is only $1,500. Then, you have increased your utilization rate. If your issuer bumps the limit to $3,000, now your utilization rate has fallen and helps your credit score. This, of course, only works if you can resist the urge to spend more on your card with a bigger credit limit.
Does a credit increase show on my credit report?
When you request a credit line increase online or in an automated phone system, the review to determine eligibility will not impact your credit score. To check eligibility for an increase, creditors use information from the credit bureaus each month. This does not generate an additional inquiry.
Not sure what to do? Call to Speak with a Trinity Counselor.

Of one of those fucking people in that marching band. A chainsaw with 200 fucking dicks on it. Every single one of those fucking dicks is one of my runs. Now imagine every single one of those fucking dicks ejaculating at the exact same moment; that's the FUCKING taste in my mouth right now. FUCK this game!~ werster 2013, raging after dying to Red in his Gold speedrun
It was such an amazing run too. After cranking us and pretending he made it...he started more runs. Then busted this rant out of nowhere. Like, how the hell does he come up with this stuff?

TORONTO — It wasn't that long ago when Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was worried about overwhelming rookie quarterback Russell Wilson with too much information.
That's no longer a concern after Wilson and the surging Seahawks showed they're capable of piling up points north of the border, too.
A week after a 58-0 win at home against Arizona, Wilson ran for three touchdowns and threw for another in a 50-17 rout of the Bills in Buffalo's annual game in Toronto on Sunday.
"I'm just thrilled that he's been able to continue to grow," Carroll said. "For a time, we were just trying to get the offense going and not screw it up and make sure he could keep growing.
"Well, we're past that now."
Wilson was unstoppable during a first half in which he directed scoring drives on the Seahawks' first five possessions in building a 31-7 lead. It was a stretch in which he scored on 14-, 25- and 13-yard runs to become the NFL's first quarterback to run for three touchdowns in one half since Daunte Culpepper did it against Chicago on Sept. 3, 2000, according to STATS. And Wilson's 4-yard touchdown pass to Zach Miller was his 21st of the season, moving into a tie for second with Cam Newton among NFL rookies. Only Peyton Manning, with 26 in 1998, has more.
Then the Seahawks' opportunistic defense took over by forcing three consecutive turnovers to start the second half, including safety Earl Thomas scoring on 57-yard interception return.
"We're definitely clicking well," Wilson said, a third-round draft pick out of Wisconsin. "I've been on a couple of teams that have scored that many in college. But to do it in the National Football League, I mean that's really tough to do."
He's not kidding.
The Seahawks became the NFL's third team to score 50 points in consecutive weeks, joining the Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants, who both did it in 1950, according to STATS. And the 108 combined points over two weeks matched the NFL's third-highest total. The New England Patriots also scored 108 points in consecutive games last month, according to STATS.
And it's happening with the Seahawks (9-5) mounting a playoff push. They've won for the fifth time in six games and still aren't out of the running to win the NFC West. They return home to host division-leading San Francisco in what has become a key showdown.
The Bills (5-9) find themselves in a familiar state of unraveling. They were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for a 13th season — the NFL's longest active drought. And their performance further raises questions about coach Chan Gailey's job security.
"We played bad. We played poorly. And when you play poorly against a good football team you're going to look extremely bad," Gailey said. "You're angry at yourself because you didn't get the team ready to play at the level they needed to play."
The defense had a meltdown in giving up 45 or more points three times this season.
The offense sputtered for much of the first half before scoring 10 points in the final 1:10 cut theSeahawks' lead to 31-17.

Hi Natasha,
Thanks for this segment. My mother thinks that I was given polio, in around 1951 or '52, by an experimental vaccine. Shortly before he died, the (conservative) GP who'd attended 3 generations of my family, came up to our holiday home at Mt Macedon, took Mum down the garden by themselves,knelt at her feet and asked her to forgive him. He wouldn't say why he was asking. Later, Mum saw a segment on ABC TV saying that the vaccine was trialled on inmates of Berry St Babies' Home(!!) and some GPs' surgeries in Melb, including one in Malvern (which was the one we went to).
When I changed GPs, the original practice refused to give my medical records to my next GP.
Regards, Barbary

Well, the bad news, gents, is that my Logitech headset's bass isn't working, which is interfering with what I can hear and can't hear on videos, games, and other sorts of stuff like that. Fortunately, my computer's on-dash microphone still works, along with a good pair of earbuds I use. So, all is not lost, Penny Pigtails. This is going to drastically cut my microphone quality, but probably improve my listening quality. So, for now, my mic may not work, and I will eventually need to get a new one. For now... we'll simply have to see how good the on-dash mic works.
Please be patient with me.

Worm (蚯蚓) (ミミズ, Mimizu) was a member of the Shadow Beasts, the elite guard of the Ten Dons.[1]
Worm is red-skinned and has changed his body in such a way to resemble a worm, in correspondence with his code name. Long and thin with a pronounced potbelly, Worm takes on a look that to say the least, seems almost alien. His sinuous body structure enables underground movements a normal human would be incapable of. In fact, instead of digging with his arms he simply uses his pointed head to push into the earth and moves his neck in a circular motion to move through the ground.[1]
Yorknew City arc
Worm first appears in front of the remaining Nostrade Family Bodyguards after tunneling in the ground, from the Gordeau Desert. Worm introduces himself as one of the Shadow Beasts, and then asks the bodyguards which organization do they belong too. Dalzollene then tells Worm they belong to the Nostrade Family that's part of the Ritz Clan. Worm understands and see they seem to be capable Nen users, but tells them to stay put. At that moment 3 other Shadow Beasts appear Leech, Porcupine, and Rabid Dog and speculate that the man they're after is no amateur and is and let them handle the rest. As the Shadow Beasts approach Uvogin, Worm tunnels back underground. When Leech, Porcupine, and Rabid Dog confront Uvogin, Worm appears in back of him punches him in the face, only to have his hand completely broken and bent out of shape. Uvogin then punches Worm back in his face and smashing it in and popping out his right eye.[1]
This the other Shadow Beasts as Worm then retaliates by grabbing the same arm Uvogin used to punch him in the face and drag it into the ground with him, pinning Uvogin. Worm then gives Uvogin an ultimatum either get killed by him by being dragged underground, or being killed by the other 3 Shadow Beasts from above. Uvogin not amused by Worm's tactics uses his signature move Big Bang Impact to decimate the entire ground beneath him, revealing his Spider Tattoo, and also seemingly killing Worm in the process. Ironically though, Worm later appears in front the Nostrade Bodyguards again to warn them not to confront the Phantom Troupe.[2]
Abilities & Powers
As a Shadow Beast, Worm is very influential within the mafia community. He is also a capable fighter, one of the best serving under the Ten Dons, since he was chosen as one of their personal bodyguards. However, he was no match for Uvogin. His Nen abilities have a central role in his fighting style, which seems to consist in sneak attacks, dragging his enemy underground to kill him in his territory, or pinning him down for other Shadow Beasts to finish.
Enhanced Strength: Worm has a high level of physical strength. Uvogin, who was nearly unscathed after taking an anti-tank missile head-on, claimed he had felt Worm's punch, although it dealt no visible damage. Despite having five broken fingers,[1] he managed to muster enough strength in that hand to restrain the Phantom Troupe's physically strongest member by grabbing his arm and diving underground.[2]
Immense Resistance to Pain: Worm seems to hardly feel any pain at all. He showed only surprise when his hand broke upon hitting Uvogin's skin. An instant later, he took a punch from him that completely crushed half of his face, and still he did not even falter for a moment before reacting. He used his maimed hand to keep Uvogin pinned down, despite all his fingers being broken. Although gravely maimed by the Phantom Troupe member's Big Bang Impact, he managed to drag himself to Kurapika and warn him not to fight the Spider.[2]
Worm is a Transmuter, with probably a good control over Enhancement too. He is considered one of the ten most powerful Nen users in the mafia community. His ability allows him to travel underground effortlessly. This enables him to take his foes by surprise and evade their attacks easily. It also works well in combination with the abilities of other Shadow Beasts.
- A 2001 character book revealed Worm to be a Transmuter.
- In Nippon Animation's adaptation, he is voiced by the same voice actor as Satotz.
- This character's Japanese name, "蚯蚓", means "Were-worm" in English.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Competition is a strong driving force of evolution for organisms of all sizes: Those individuals best equipped to obtain resources adapt and reproduce, while others may fall by the wayside. Many organisms mammals, birds and insects, for instance also form cooperative social structures that allow resources to be defended and shared within a population.
But surprisingly, even microbes, which are thought to thrive only when able to win the battle for resources against those nearest to them, have a somewhat sophisticated social structure that relies on cooperation, according to MIT scientists. These researchers have recently found evidence that some ocean microbes wield chemical weapons that are harmless to close relatives within their own population, but deadly to outsiders.
The weapons are natural antibiotics produced by a few individuals whose closest relatives carry genes that make them resistant. The researchers believe that the few antibiotic producers are acting as protectors of the many, using the antibiotics to defend the population from competitors or to attack neighboring populations.
"We can't know what the environmental interactions really are, because microbes are too small for us to observe them in action," says Professor Martin Polz of MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), lead investigator on a study appearing in the September 7 issue of Science. "But we think the antibiotics play a role in fending off competitors. Of course, those competitors could also produce antibiotics. It's a potential arms race out there."
A population of ocean microbes is defined by genetic likeness and shared ecological activities, such as their preferred microhabitat say, free-floating or attached to algae or their ability to harvest a particular substance. Because close relatives within populations have very similar if not identical resource requirements, they must by necessity also

Faculty & Professional Learning Communities
What is a Faculty/Professional Learning Community?
A Faculty Learning Community is a group of 6-12 multidisciplinary faculty who meet frequently (e.g., monthly or every 2-3 weeks) for a 6-12 month program. The purpose of this type of faculty development program is to encourage faculty to engage in an active, collaborative seminars and activities that provide learning and development, scholarship of teaching and learning, and community building. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) include staff and/or graduate students. Community is often missing in higher education, where connections across disciplines and institutional units are overlooked. Faculty and Professional Learning Communities (FLCs and PLCs) help establish these connections and achieve increased interest in teaching and learning, retention, active learning, rate of intellectual development and civic contributions to the common good. Safety and support is engendered in the community that enables risk taking and the achievement of both individual and team objectives. There is evidence that FLCs and PLCs provide deep learning that encourage and supports faculty and staff to investigate, attempt, and adopt new methods of teaching and mentoring. It is also the goal of an FLC or PLC to create a product, such as a presentation or publication about the findings that participation in the community allowed. Research assessing the impact of faculty development interventions has noted that professional learning communities are among the most effective means of influencing positive outcomes for those involved in such project-based communities of practice (Chism, Harris & Holley, 2011).
2015-2016 Professional Learning Community
Implementing "Just in Time Teaching" into Your Courses: Focusing on Social Justice in Current Events
This group is open to full-time faculty and academic teaching staff in any discipline who are interested in integrating topics of social justice current events using Just in Time Teaching Techniques in significant ways in their teaching and that of others. Ways to measure these experiences and finding ways to fit them into one's scholarly endeavors will also be studied. $500 stipends are available at the end of the time period for all participants that meet the requirements of the PLC.
Why Join the JiTT focusing on Social Justice Current Events PLC?
Just-in- Time Teaching (JiTT) is a teaching and learning strategy designed to promote the use of class time for more active learning. Developed by Gregor Novak and colleagues, JiTT relies on a feedback loop between web-based learning materials (online news articles, discussion boards for example) and the classroom (Novak et al., 1999). Students prepare for class by reading from the textbook or using other resources posted to the web and by completing assignments online. These assignments often have complex answers; students' work outside class serves as preparation for more complete work in class. Importantly, JiTT allows the instructor to create an interactive classroom environment that emphasizes active learning and cooperative problem solving. This topic-based faculty learning community will meet monthly for one academic year. The goals of the FLC will developed by the group but may include:
- Read and discuss relevant literature on implementing JiTT with current social justice themes in various academic disciplines
- Explore the range of courses and programs that are currently a part of campus
- Encourage individual and collaborative research projects both for faculty and students
- Build community among faculty as they develop strategies to use in their courses or in developing new courses
- Implement a SOTL project to measure student engagement and learning
If these topics interest you then this PLC may be the ideal professional development opportunity for you.
Application deadline: August 20th, 2015
A cross-disciplinary group of faculty and staff will meet to share their experiences, learn from one another, and explore the literature and curricular models for including courses focused on or including topics of social justice as they occur using JiTT. Each participant will investigate approaches to incorporating techniques of JiTT in their own courses as well as providing feedback to others in the group. Projects, readings, and discussions will be related to a set of core questions the group develops leading to a proposal, set of courses or other scholarly work that can be presented to the campus community. You do not have to be an expert!! These communities work best when there is a diversity of levels of experience.

After short break from politics, Weglein jumps back into Barefoot Bay Recreation District race
BAREFOOT BAY — Wilma Weglein, a former trustee for the Recreation District, is seeking election once again after taking a break from politics in 2009.
"I needed to step back a bit," she said Wednesday. "But recently, every time I stepped out of Winn-Dixie, people asked me, 'Are you going to run again this time?' It was really something to look into."
In the Nov. 8 race, Weglein joins incumbents Tom Guinther and Louise Crouse and fellow challenger Sonny Raponi in seeking one of the two open seats on the five-member board. Trustees aren't paid and serve two years.
A district trustee is a policy-maker, she said, establishing rules for the district manager to implement. That means the manager, currently Jason Yarborough, is the one to give direction to department heads, she said, while trustees make sure he abides by board policy.
"Trustees get too involved in the day-to-day management," she said. "I don't think that's a good idea. The board needs to step back to setting policies and procedures."
Weglein, 73, a 12-year resident of Barefoot Bay, served two terms on the Board of Trustees 2004 to 2008.
During that time, she recalled, she helped residents cope with the aftermath of hurricanes Francis, Jean and Wilma and Tropical Storm Fay — as well as the internal struggles with district accounting. She said she helped lead efforts to have the Tax Collector's Office put the district assessments on residents' tax bills, which established an annual payment instead of monthly ones that could get behind.
Weglein in 2008 started to campaign for the District 3 seat on the Brevard County Commission, but withdrew as she decided her trustee duties were more pressing.
Since then, Weglein helped run a committee to look into the feasibility of incorporating Barefoot Bay as Brevard's 17th city. The committee disbanded after a year in February, however, before members' study was complete.
"We put out a straw poll. 'Do you want us to continue studying this? Yes or no,'" she recalled. "But many people thought that was the incorporation vote."
And they voted against it in a 10-to-1 margin. Weglein said she doesn't see incorporation resurfacing as an issue very soon.
Age: 73
Residence: Barefoot Bay for 12 years

Occupation: Retired office manager with Motion Picture Association of America
Education: Graduate, Berkley Secretarial School, New York

As the dollar bill continues to fall in value, gold is a sure win for those wanting to hedge against its potency. This is a common investing practice in economies with fiat currencies that are easily affected by increasing national debts, inflation and social unrest. Hedge funds across the nation are now purchasing precious metals for their portfolios, inspiring the constant demand for gold.
"Wall street is definitely playing a huge role in the price of gold," said Paul Altieri, CEO of Cash for Gold Orange County. "As long as hedge fund managers continue rail against the dollar, the price will continue to rise. Likewise, if they begin to sell gold, prices can quickly fall."
Additionally, Altieri recognizes that, "It is possible the US government is purposefully deflating the dollar bill gradually to slowly boost the economy and help repay the trillions of dollars in debt owed to sovereign nations. The government most certainly won't admit this strategy, but it does make some sense." There is no certain proof of this suggestion; however, looking back at the economic crisis in the 1980's and the dramatic increase in the price of gold in those years, it is highly probable that the government has played a role multiple times.
Cash for Gold invites all jewelry, watch and bullion owners to sell gold while prices are hot. Interested parties can visit their Huntington Beach, California location today at: 15182 Goldenwest Street, Suite 100.
"We buy gold and immediately pay top dollar for quality pieces," says Altieri. "The process is quite simple and our representatives are highly knowledgeable gold buyers with 30 years of combined experience."
All gold sellers are provided free appraisals and be can confident they will receive the most money possible. Generally, most items are valued based on the karat and weight of the piece. To determine the karat of the gold, Cash for Gold precious metal experts will locate the stamp that indicates karat weight. In the case that there isn't a stamp, the expert will perform an acid/scratch test to determine the piece's weight.
In addition to gold, the Cash for Gold also purchases silver, platinum and other precious metals. For more information, visit their Website at http://www.cashforgoldorangecounty.com/
