Peres, Jordan king discuss Mideast peace
Noam (Dabul) Dvir
1. PM vs Peres
The PM should govern and not allow Peres to travel around meeting with Arab Islamists whether king or not.
Brod ,
2. Mr President My Dear Sir
Has Abu mazen STATED IN PUBLIC and Quoted by Inernational News Agencies That the arab/bedouins aka pali's ACCEPT Israel As A Jewish Nation? Has abu mazen Told hamas Under No Certain Terms MUST Amend their Charter Calling For The Destruction Of Israel? But Saving The BEST For Last Did abu mazen Agree NOT TO DIVIDE THE ETERNAL CAPITAL JERUSALEM ? No Such Thing As Right Of Return Not even a issue? Why you say Because they left on their own accord, NOTHING OWED TO THESE arabs!!! שבת שלום/ברוך שם הא
3. Peres
He displays the worse kind of blindness! He should be retired and replaced. Perhaps he and olmerd could go play golf or something.
DavidR ,
4. Peres
This elder statesman should be replaced or at least reined in. He's running off at the mouth all over the place with his leftie thinking.I realize he has served Israel for a long time,but he must be past his expiry date by now...when is his term of office finished?
Malone ,
5. Whose tail?
Somebody hold Peres by the tail The question is he a useful idiot or not?
michael Pielet ,
6. #2
1. How many UN member states has actually accepted Israel as a jewish nation?. Even Islamic Republic Of Iran never asked anyone to recognize it a s a nation for muslim. 2. I do not agree with any sort of violence or threat but it was Israel who actually initiated the act of destruction since 1900s.Perhaps you would like to check the Haganah charter. 3. If you have the right over jerusalem and ROR, why not the Palestinian?. They were born and raised in the villages that had been destroyed long before you're born. And you probably came from another country....
7. Two Pathetic Losers!!!
Perez is a joke! The little king, from Jordan, won't have to wait long; the Muslim Brotherhood will be taking over soon, and once Syria is added to the insane mix, Israel's real problems are going to start. All-out war is coming, but God will protect his own!!!
Jake Stone ,
8. No place for imaginary Kings in 2013
What makes Hussein a King? His family were not Kings when the British put his puppet government in power on Israeli lands, so what makes this sham a King? The East Bank of Israel is occupied land, and it must be part of any future peace agreement. When they divided Israel and made Jordan they should have made it a Palestinian state and not created a false monarchy. The upside is that Jordan learned it's lesson when Israel conquered it in 67' and knows better not to flex, but lets be clear that Jordan is part of Israel.

45th Food Bazaar offers genuine Japanese fare
By: Martha Garcia, Loomis News Editor
Placer Buddhist Church hosts event in Penryn
Barbecue smoke coming from the Placer Buddhist Church, located at Interstate 80 and Penryn Road, behind the Union 76 station, will signal the start of the church's 45th annual Food Bazaar. Authentic Japanese dishes such as teriyaki chicken, sushi, chow mein and more will be served from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. There will also be cultural displays, bonsai demonstrations and displays, taiko drumming and tours of the chapel where there will also be floral arrangements on display. Saturday has also been designated as a "Objects of Memory Community Collection Day," during which Americans of Japanese ancestry who were sent to interment camps during World War II are asked to have their artifacts photographed for archival purposes. The photography session will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. David Unruhe, president of the church's board, said the purpose of Community Collection Day is to take digital photographs of artifacts that were made at the interment camps, also called assembly centers or relocation camps. When internees got to the camps, they found only "rooms, beds, a potbellied stove and one electric light," Unruhe said. "Everything else they had to make … out of scrap lumber." The internees basically built the camps themselves, he explained. And from the extra lumber they fashioned cabinets, bookcases, tables and chairs. "Not only did they have to make the furniture, they had to make the tools to make the furniture," he said. Digital photographs will be taken of the items, documents and photographs that are brought to the Buddhist Church, and all items will remain in the possession of the owner. Unruhe said the Community Collection Day is a project of the National Japanese American Historical Society and is funded in part by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program.

ES 699A: Master's Project
Synonym:52198 (for web registration)
Faculty:James Jordan
Semester:Spring 2008
Meeting Schedule:TBA (TBA)
Competency areas: CB, RMC & IND – Required alternate for students who are not doing a Master's Thesis; EAO, EE & Cert – Optional, Elective with written permission of academic advisor.
The Master's Project represents the culmination of a student's work at Antioch. It differs from the Master's Thesis in that the Project will typically be more descriptive or applied in focus, and usually will not be defined by formal hypothesis-testing of theoretical concepts. The Master's Project will often follow standardized approaches used in a student's chosen field such as development of a regional landuse plan, preparation of a natural resource inventory, or authorship of a high school curriculum. Although not to the extent expected for a Thesis, students will be expected to research, develop and defend the methodological approach used in the project. Master's Projects will be expected to be professional in their presentation, but need not adhere to Antioch's formal Thesis Guidelines. The goals, content and format of the Master's Project must be approved by the student's program director and the ES Department faculty member who has agreed to evaluate the final document; supervision of the Project may involve a qualified person external to the department, or an ES Department faculty member. Note: CB, RMC and IND students are required to complete either a Masters Project or a Master's Thesis.

Supply Chain article – Golden Rules
Companies need to start using common sense to survive, says business thinker Dr Eli Goldratt. Rebecca Ellinor distils his words of wisdom.
Are we really in troubled times? No, we're just panicking, says Dr Eliyahu Goldratt. The worldrenowned business management consultant and author of The Goal, which was recently included in The 100 Best Business Books of All Time, has always challenged people to think differently. In The Goal, written 25 years ago when he was a physicist, Dr Goldratt outlined his 'theory of constraints', with the premise that the rate of goal achievement is limited by at least one constraining process. He argued that only by increasing fl ow through the constraint can overall throughput be improved.
Originally directed at the manufacturing industry, its central messages hold true today. He now helps organisations to apply his advice, considered so broadly applicable that when he visited the UK this spring the 130-strong audience at his seminar included child psychologists, buyers and senior managers from the public and private sectors…Click here to continue reading

"The hearts of the people are fickle..."
— Hosea 10:2
One of the challenges we face when all appears to be going well is that we may actually believe all IS well.
Visiting relatives in the Chicago area many moons ago, my brother and I (and assorted cousins) were put into the rear-facing seat of my uncle's station wagon. He and my aunt Ginny had picked us up at the train station and were hauling us to their house where we would camp out for a few weeks. It was a typical hot sticky mid-western summer's day and back in those days they had no air conditioning in the cars. Well, they did. They called it "four by 50" air conditioning — rolling down the windows as you zipped along at 50 miles per hour.
That didn't help us in the back, of course. We had no side windows, we were faced to the rear, and any moving air was about a hundred degrees with the added humidity of a dozen perspiring bodies who shared our crew space...

RICHMOND — The Columbus North boys basketball team found out late Wednesday night that its first-round opponent — Louisville Moore — wouldn't be making the trip to Richmond for the Bob Wettig Memorial Tournament.
The Richmond junior varsity took Moore's place in the 16-team event, and for 2½ quarters Thursday, the Red Devils resembled a seasoned varsity squad. They stayed close before North pulled away for an 86-67 win at Earlham College.
"I still think that not having a scouting report for the Richmond junior varsity really hurt us," North coach Jason Speer said. "Our team really relies on that. We let a couple of kids get away from us on those 3-point shots."
The defending champion Bull Dogs (6-1) will play Class 2A No. 2 Tipton in the quarterfinals at 7 p.m. today at Richmond High School. Win or lose, North will play two more games on Saturday.
The Red Devil JV (6-2) led 10-8 five minutes into the game before North used a 10-0 run, capped by a pair of Elliott Welmer 3-pointers, to take the lead for good.
Richmond was still within 42-35 with 5½ minutes left in the third quarter when the Bull Dogs used an 11-0 run to pull away.
"We got off to a slow start, but the second half, I thought we started to play better," said Welmer, who came off the bench to hit all five of his 3-point attempts and lead North with 19 points, seven rebounds and three assists. "We haven't practiced in a few days, and were just a little rusty, but we'll get it fixed."
The Bull Dogs shot 54.7 percent (35 of 64) from the field, including 68.8 percent (22 of 32) in the second half. They made 6 of 11 3-pointers.
"We took great shots," Speer said. "I don't think the shots we had in the first half were bad shots. We were maybe just a little bit rusty or weren't concentrating as well as we should have, but we had a really, really good second-half effort."
Welmer led five Bull Dogs in double figures. Tori Jackson scored 15 points, while Josh Speidel added 13, Sawyer Glick 12 and Connor Oren 11. Welmer and Jackson each grabbed seven rebounds to lead North to a 41-22 advantage on the boards.
"It obviously was not our best effort, especially in the first half, but we're not going to look too much into it," Speer said. "We know that we've played good up to this point in the season. We're going to try to put our best foot forward here for the rest of the tournament."
Jennings County wins
Jennings County jumped out to a 17-4 lead after one quarter and never looked back en route to a 59-42 win against Rock Creek Academy. The Panthers (6-2) will play defending 3A state champion Guerin Catholic at 4 p.m. today at Richmond High School.
Brad Hunt led Jennings with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Dan Leach added 10 points.
"We had a couple days off from practice, so we were just sloppy tonight," Jennings interim coach Joe Hartwell said. "We didn't really accomplish much offensively, and we had too many breakdowns defensively. But we're happy to win, and we're hoping to play better (today)."

The symphony, established in 1953 at Beloit College, celebrated its 60th season this year with a diamond jubilee concert last month.
For 60 years the orchestra has entertained the Stateline, but like any organization, it is only the sum of it parts. Staple orchestra members like timpani player Ellen Knutson and trumpeter Kay Schultz have added a lifetime of performance to the orchestra's past.
Schultz has been with the orchestra for 48 of its 60 years, and is still going strong. She joined as a sophomore at Clinton High School with the youth symphony that was offered at the time. She spent some time playing under the direction of the BJSO's founder, and has gone on to play under all of his successors. The experience is dear to Schultz, who plays her trumpet every single day to stay sharp.
"I think it's a tribute to our community," Schultz said. "It's so exciting for all of us to play. We have a sort of camaraderie among the musicians. You have to be prepared for all the rehearsals, but they are a very enjoyable time, musically and socially."
Schultz is as professional a musician as they come. Not too long after graduating from Clinton High School, she went on to become the school's band director and held that position for 41 years. Retirement has hardly slowed her down though; in addition to playing for the orchestra, she still teaches at Beloit Music and Melody Music Studios out of Reno, Nev., via Skype and has time for freelance playing at weddings and other events.
Knutson has had a similar experience with the orchestra, joining in 1962, three years before Schultz. She has been beating away at the kettledrums for the organization's performances through all three conductors as well. Knutson got her start during her college days and, like Schultz, still is going strong.
The orchestra brings together all types of musicians from different age groups and ethnic backgrounds, but their reasons, one way or another, are the same: They are there because they love to make music.
"I played for many years not getting paid at all just for the fun of it," Knutson said. "What we get paid now isn't much, but it's not why we do it. Most of us are there because we just love to play."
"It's a great orchestra to play with," Schultz said. "Their standards are high, and I really enjoy being part of a topnotch group."
Looking to grow
"One of the things orchestras all over the world are facing right now is remaining relevant with audiences, and part of that is attracting a younger demographic," said Krueger. "We are really looking to grow regionally next season. We really want to establish ourselves as a true regional orchestra and reach out even further than Beloit and Janesville. We are going to start making a real effort to remove two sets of boundaries, both geographic and artistic boundaries."
While Krueger said that the orchestra does an outstanding job with all of its performances throughout the year, he feels that the single season is a bit too one-size-fits-all. Next season, instead of including all the musical genres that the orchestra plays into one season, he intends to switch the format to a three-series season while adding performances that cross into territory that the BJSO traditionally hasn't explored.
"The first series will be called the family pops series, and it will be a sort of picnic, bring-the-children and you don't have to be quiet type thing, with our traditional pop orchestra music," Krueger said. "Then we will have the classical series where we will continue to honor the legacy of great conductors from around the world through different times in history. But the third series will be our exploration series. We want to take the orchestra to a more innovative, explorative place, and that series will mix some mediums like dance, film and different kinds of music than we usually play."
Krueger is excited about the upcoming season's changes and hopes for a strong community response. One thing is for sure, the orchestra has grown and continues to do so. From its humble beginnings in 1953, it has grown to an orchestra that has access to more than 200 regional musicians from Rock, Green, Winnebago, Walworth and Dane counties. If you are looking to see a top shelf symphony in action, Krueger says that you don't have to travel far, because the BJSO is right in your backyard.
"There is a lot of talent and style in this region and people don't even really realize sometimes, but it plays a part in the culture of our community," said Krueger. "It's better than having to go all the way to Chicago, Madison, Rockford or Milwaukee. There is a quality musical organization right here centered in Beloit and Janesville."
The next opportunity to see the BJSO perform is the upcoming Holiday Spectacular being held at 3 p.m. on Dec. 14 at the Eclipse Center in Beloit. Four local high school choirs and Miss Andrea's Dance Factory will be joining the orchestra to perform during the event. If you do stop out to enjoy the holiday performance, chances are that musicians such as Schultz and Knutson will be just as excited to be there as you are.
"There aren't a lot of places where someone can play kettledrums because they are so big and I really enjoy playing with a group that is so talented," said Knutson. "Sometimes I actually practice on pillows, I can play that way because I can set them up in the order in which I need to use them. Being a part of the orchestra has added a wonderful dimension to my life."

Opana ERPronunciation
Generic Name: oxymorphone (OX ee MOR fone)
Brand Name: Opana, Opana ER
What is Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
Oxymorphone is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Oxymorphone is used to treat moderate to severe pain.
The extended-release form of this medicine is for around-the-clock treatment of pain. This form of oxymorphone is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
Oxymorphone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
You should not use this medicine if you have severe asthma or breathing problems, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or moderate to severe liver disease.
Oxymorphone can slow or stop your breathing. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Do not crush, break, or open an extended-release pill. Swallow it whole to avoid exposure to a potentially fatal dose. Oxymorphone may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Oxymorphone may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in your newborn if you use the medication during pregnancy.
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with oxymorphone.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to oxymorphone, or if you have:
severe asthma or breathing problems;
a blockage in your stomach or intestines; or
moderate to severe liver disease.
To make sure oxymorphone is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
any type of breathing problem or lung disease;
a history of head injury, brain tumor, or seizures;
a history of drug abuse, alcohol addiction, or mental illness;
urination problems;
liver or kidney problems; or
problems with your gallbladder, pancreas, or thyroid.
It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. If you use oxymorphone while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
It is not known whether oxymorphone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Oxymorphone can slow or stop your breathing, especially when you start using this medicine or whenever your dose is changed. Never use oxymorphone in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Oxymorphone may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Selling or giving away oxymorphone is against the law.
Always check your bottle to make sure you have received the correct pills (same brand and type) of medicine prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
Stop taking all other around-the-clock narcotic pain medications when you start taking oxymorphone.
Take oxymorphone on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Do not crush, break, or open an extended-release pill. Swallow it whole to avoid exposure to a potentially fatal dose.
Some forms of oxymorphone are made with ingredients that are not absorbed in the body. Part of the tablet may appear in your stool. This is a normal side effect of oxymorphone and will not make the medication less effective.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using oxymorphone.
Never crush or break a oxymorphone pill to inhale the powder or mix it into a liquid to inject the drug into your vein. This practice has resulted in death with the misuse of oxymorphone and similar prescription drugs.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Oxymorphone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Do not keep leftover oxymorphone pills. Ask your pharmacist where to locate a drug take-back disposal program. If there is no take-back program, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since oxymorphone is used for pain, you are not likely to miss a dose. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. A oxymorphone overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, muscle weakness, confusion, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, shallow breathing, slow heart rate, fainting, or coma.
What should I avoid while using Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with oxymorphone. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how oxymorphone will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Opana ER (oxymorphone) side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
seizure (convulsions);
fever, chills, cough with yellow or green mucus;
stabbing chest pain, wheezing, feeling short of breath; or
severe vomiting.
Oxymorphone is more likely to cause breathing problems in older adults and people who are severely ill, malnourished, or otherwise debilitated.
Common side effects may include:
stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea;
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, tired feeling;
dry mouth, increased sweating;

See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect Opana ER (oxymorphone)?
Taking this medicine with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous or life-threatening side effects. Ask your doctor before taking oxymorphone with a sleeping pill, narcotic pain medicine, muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.

U.S. Attorney Sues to Recover Bones of T. Rex's Mongolian Cousin
Here's a story for the ages.
The U.S. government is suing to recover a 70-million-year-old dinosaur fossil that it says was illegally brought into the U.S. from Mongolia more than two years ago.
In March 2010, the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus bataar — a two-legged predator similar to the better-known Tyrannosaurus rex — was brought to the U.S. from Great Britain, along with a long list of erroneous claims, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Among them, the skeleton was described as originating in Great Britain, according to the lawsuit, even though Tyrannosaurus bataar fossils have only been discovered in Mongolia. It was also described as being worth just $15,000, even though it has been valued at between $950,000 and $1.5 million.
On May 20 this year, the skeleton was sold at an auction in New York conducted by Texas-based Heritage Auctions, Inc. for more than $1 million, according to the lawsuit. The completion of the sale is contingent on court proceedings instituted on behalf of the Mongolian government, according to a press release. The lawsuit filed by the U.S. seeks to have the skeleton recovered and returned to Mongolia.
"The skeletal remains of this dinosaur are of tremendous cultural and historic significance to the people of Mongolia, and provide a connection to the country's prehistoric past," said Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, in a statement. "When the skeleton was allegedly looted, a piece of the country's natural history was stolen with it, and we look forward to returning it to its rightful place."
Jim Halperin, co-chairman of Heritage Auctions gave us this statement:
We auctioned the Tyrannosaurus bataar conditionally, subject to future Court rulings, so this matter is now in the hands of lawyers and politicians. We believe our consignor purchased fossils in good faith, then spent a year of his life and considerable expense identifying, restoring, mounting and preparing what had previously been a much less valuable matrix of unassembled, underlying bones. We sincerely hope there will be a just and fair outcome for all parties.
The Tyrannosaurus Bataar skeleton originated in the Gobi Desert, a "fertile field of dinosaur relics," according to the lawsuit. Fossils of the dinosaur were first discovered in 1946 during a joint Soviet-Mongolian expedition in Mongolia's Omnogovi province.
All Tyrannosaurus bataar fossils have been discovered in a small area of the Gobi Desert called the Nemegt Basin in Mongolia, the lawsuit said.
"Cultural looting and profiteering cannot be tolerated anywhere and this cooperation between our governments is a large step forward to stopping it," said Tsakhia Elbegdorj, Mongolia's president, in a press release.

Maryland students beta test Army STEM recruiting vehicle
December 9, 2011
By Mr. Dan Lafontaine (RDECOM)
Related Links
ELKTON, Md. -- Deonte Lewis traveled 21 years into future to a world in the midst of terrorist attacks and civil unrest. He then joined a team of U.S. Army Soldiers and civilian scientists to design new technologies to protect lives and defeat the threat.
Lewis, a freshman at Elkton High School, and about 50 fellow students helped the Army beta test its new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Asset Vehicle in the school parking lot Dec. 5.
"It was epic! It was amazing!" Lewis said after touring the vehicle. "Science and engineering are something I've been into for a long time.
"I've seen the 'Go Army' commercials where they show the guy in the plane talking to people on the ground. I have family in the armed forces. They tell you it's more than just going out there with a gun going Rambo on everybody. They let you know there's a lot more to it. You have to be smart."
Senior John Cook plans to study aeronautical engineering in college because of his talent for math and interest in aviation. He said he enjoyed the vehicle's interactive features that allow students to design customized technical solutions.
The STEM Asset Vehicle is a modified tractor-trailer equipped with high-definition TVs and touchscreen computers. The Army designed it to attract and engage aspiring young scientists, said Louie Lopez, STEM outreach coordinator for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Lopez said the vehicle will help create public awareness of the strong science and technology workforce that supports Soldiers while capturing students' attention and inspiring them to pursue STEM careers.
"The vehicle provides an experience for students to think about how research and science can attack worldwide issues such as global terrorism and biological or chemical warfare," Lopez said. "It puts students in the year 2032, and they're given a scenario as well as high-tech capabilities in designing and developing their own countermeasures."
Several students said they were not aware the military employs scientists and engineers across the world to support Soldiers in combat.
"It's kind of surprising because I thought most [Soldiers] fight to protect us. There's a lot of technology behind it, which I didn't know," freshman Tatianna Msackyi said.
Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Oliver and Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Adam will be the first Army recruiters to drive the vehicle across the country to STEM outreach events. They will wear futuristic-looking mock body armor designed, tested and built by the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center's Advanced Design and Manufacturing unit at APG.
Oliver is assigned to the Army Accessions Support Brigade's Mobile Exhibit Company at Fort Knox, Ky. He previously served eight years in the infantry, two years as a recruiter and eight years as a recruiting station commander.
"[The vehicle] shows [students] how the Army uses and advances technology," Oliver said. "Their pursuit of a degree in an advanced field in STEM could be helpful to not just the Army but also civilian employers in short supply of engineers.
"The whole point is to generate interest in the Army and these career fields, as well as put Soldiers, such as local recruiters, in contact with people in their area so they can interact with the community."
Lopez said the vehicle allows the Army to demonstrate how it helps to lead innovations in the scientific community.
"As soon as the Army STEM Asset Vehicle is commissioned in January (at the Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio), it's going to be traveling throughout the United States. [The recruiters are] going to schools and major conferences that are STEM focused to get students and educators to become aware of what the Army does, not only for support of the Warfighter, but for its contributions to the nation in general," Lopez said.

Science of Parenting: Summer Vacation
AMES, Iowa – Juggling work schedules, kids' commitments and the family budget may make some parents wonder if a family vacation is worth the effort. But before giving up, consider this: the kids might learn something from the experience. During June, family life specialists examine this proposition in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Families take vacations for many reasons – to spend time together, have some fun, or rest and relax," said family life specialist Donna Donald. "However, these opportunities to visit other people and places and see something new can boost your child's academic achievement."
Donald and family life specialist Lori Hayungs will take a close look into the benefits of family vacations.
"We'll look at national research about the relationship of family vacations and how well children perform in school. We'll talk about how to plan a vacation and involve parents and children in decisions. We'll also share favorite family vacation stories," Hayungs said.
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

Anthony Lakes Ski Resort General Manager Peter Johnson said that prices for the 2013-14 season will remain the same as last season. (WesCom file)
Anthony Lakes Ski Resort gears up for another season
Alice Trindle can discuss in detail the tangible things that make Anthony Lakes Ski Area special.
The dry powder snow.
The short lift lines.
The three-state panorama from the top of the mountain.
But the essence of this place, she believes, is harder to define.
"It's a sense of, well, spirituality," said Trindle, who lives near Haines and has been skiing, and teaching other skiers, for decades at the resort in the Elkhorn Mountains.
"The heritage of that place is just special," said Trindle, who's also one of five directors of the nonprofit Baker County Development Corp., which has owned the ski area since 2010. Trindle doesn't volunteer the specific number of years she's been active at Anthony Lakes, but she does offer a telling anecdote.
During spring break this year, while serving as a ski instructor, she taught three consecutive classes in which at least one student had a parent or grandparent who had also learned from Trindle the basics of turns and stops.
"One of the things the board is absolutely dedicated to is that we want to keep the flavor of this area exactly as it is," Trindle said. "It's a family-friendly place where you can grow up, and come back to."
One aspect that makes Anthony Lakes inviting to families is a price schedule that's a bargain compared with most resorts, General Manager Peter Johnson said.
And that's not changing for the 2013-14 season.
"We're keeping prices the same across the board," Johnson said. "We want to keep it as affordable as we can."
Half-price Thursdays will return this winter, as well, said Marketing Director Chelsea McLagan, who is herself starting her second stint at the ski area.
McLagan had the same job at Anthony Lakes from 2007-09.
"I'm excited to be back," she said.
Not everything is identical on the mountain, though.
Anthony Lakes has added a second rental yurt to its overnight accommodations. The original yurt proved popular last winter, Johnson said.
"It was booked up every single weekend, pretty much every day we were open," Johnson said.
That yurt, with a diameter of 16 feet and capacity of five people, will again be on the east side of Anthony Lake.
The new yurt is a larger, 20-foot model with room for as many as eight people, Johnson said.
This yurt will be placed at the southwest corner of the lake, near the summertime day-use lot.
"It's an extremely scenic spot," Trindle said.
Both yurts are within a quarter-mile of the lodge, and both have a woodstove for heat, a gas stove for cooking and kitchen essentials.
Neither has electricity.
The smaller yurt costs $200 per night, and the new, larger model rents for $250 per night.
To reserve a yurt, go to Anthony Lakes' website, www.anthonylakes.com, and look under the "Services & Activities" menu.
There are no major changes on the mountain itself, with all the same runs, as well as the back side terrain accessible by snow cat.
Anthony Lakes did buy a third snow cat for run grooming.
That will allow crews to groom the slopes faster after a big snow, and having a third machine is a buffer in case one of the two others has a mechanical problem, he said.
Johnson said crews will focus more this winter on the terrain park near the lodge.
Trindle also noted that Anthony Lakes, with almost 25 miles of groomed cross-country trails, has a much larger, and more diverse, Nordic operation than many much larger ski areas.
As always, the goal is to open for the season the day after Thanksgiving — Nov. 29 this year, Johnson said. The opening date depends on the weather, of course, but an unusually early snowstorm in late September and early October has spurred optimism, Johnson said.
"We still have 10 inches to a foot at the top of the mountain," he said.
Skiers have less than a week to take advantage of a discount on a season pass; that deal ends on Halloween.
The annual parties for season pass holders are scheduled for Nov. 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Ten Depot Street in La Grande and Nov. 7 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Paizano's Pizza in Baker City.
Snow conditions and other information is available at www.anthonylakes.com or by calling
Resort remains
Anthony Lakes Ski Area is approaching its fourth winter season in quasi-public ownership.
The private owners, after losing an average of $45,000 per year over several consecutive seasons, gave the ski area to Baker County in July 2010.
The county then transferred ownership to the nonprofit Baker County Development Corporation.
In the first year, Baker County's motel room tax committee gave the corporation $30,000 for marketing.
Union County contributed $20,000, and also approved a 10-year exemption on property taxes, which saves the corporation about $4,500 per year.
The lodge and other structures are just across the Union County border. The buildings and other structures are on public land — specifically, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, which administers the ski area under a special use permit.

How many democratic countrys in the U.N.? Why do we need to give those other countrys any money at all if they do not run their countrys as we do....as a democracy?
If we are a democracy..why give these dictators money to spend on themselves so they can live like Kings and batter their people in poverty? There is evidence the money does not go to the people but to the dictators.
We now are giving them money for stoves. Do we know they will spend it on stoves instead of another castle or a trip to Paris? No oversight or is that one also paid off? If you do the same thing over and over again you get the same result. How many taxpayers will pay for all of the money we give to dictators to keep for themselves and not do what it was supposed to do for their people?
It is.time to build the products in this country..not give any money to the dictator and no more oil for food corrupt agency for the head to get away with it.
Everyone knows that kofi Annan and his son should be in jail but we don't do that to people who are not americans or the same color, do we?
Scandals come and go and white people are to blame says our current Pres. Obama in order to get the votes from the minority community.

The last week of February was a bit of a disappointment in comparison to the three weeks prior. That doesnt mean there werent plenty of eye catching and interest-snatching news items that popped up throughout the week.
Netflix now offers streaming movies and television shows through Xbox Live but in order to use this feature, Xbox Live Gold subscribers need to sign up for a general Netflix subscription. Why pay for the mail-order subscription if you're only going to use the streaming service, though?
Netflix began its partnership with Xbox Live last November and the collaboration's finally attained a nice, rounded number of subscribers for Microsoft to brag about. Microsoft announced today that 1 million users have used the streaming movie and television show service offered through Xbox Live.
One of the new features planned for the New Xbox Experience, the overhaul of Xbox Live set to debut on November 19th, is a streaming movie rental service from Netflix. To prepare for the launch of the online Netflix service, Microsoft has been quietly including free trial cards in new releases.
Microsoft has reassured gamers that while Xbox 360 doesn't have a Blu-ray disc, they'll be getting digital content through Netflix. In a surprise turn, Sony announced on Tuesday that the PS3 would be getting digital content too.
Xbox LIVE is getting a facelift. Not only will we get those promised Avatars, but the entire look and feel of the Dashboard is well, more Wii-esque. Its whimsical and far different than what has become a clunky interface. The current Dashboard works fine, but the list form stylings are quite outdated at this point.
Now that Microsoft has dramatically dropped the price of its Xbox 360 external HD DVD players in hopes they don't have to just dump all of them in the same landfill Atari used for its E.T. game, everyone's expecting them to create a Blu-ray player. Don't hold your breath, though.

Diet Soda Stroke: Are You At Risk?Brooke McLay
When you crack open that can of diet soda, you're being healthy, right? Researchers at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011 announced the results of their findings from an experiment on the relationship between diet soda and strokes. They found people who drink diet soda may have a significantly higher risk of vascular events compared to those who don't drink soda.
The experiment followed participants for nearly 10 years, keeping track of their diet soda drinking habits and vascular health. In the end, the correlation between the two was strong enough to make a case for a connection. Through the study, researchers went on to say the study "suggests that diet soda is not an optimal substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages, and may be associated with a greater risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or vascular death than regular soda."
So, are you at risk for stroke?
If you're a diet soda drinker concerned with the findings of this study, there's no need to start panicking just yet. The study was performed under highly variable circumstances, with participants reporting their own findings. Which means, the study is based on firmly unprove-able findings. This, like many other studies from the past, may prove to be just another stretch of truth to make the findings fit the known facts.
In any case, if you are concerned about your risk of stroke, now may be a good time to give up diet soda. Such a lifestyle change wouldn't be a bad change at all. If interested, you can also check out the National Stroke Associations "Guidelines for Stroke Prevention," to ensure you're taking proper care of that body of yours. After all, diet soda or no, healthy bodies do require some maintenance and it never hurts to be jilted into making better choices.

Download your favorite songs free with Music Wizard for Android
Music Wizard Downloader is a free, third-party music-downloading service that puts your favorite music directly onto your Android device. It's not perfect by any stretch, but if you're willing to put up with a few hiccups, this is a fine way to save some money.
Music Wizard Downloader allows you to search for, and download, millions of different MP3 music files, all of which come from a public search engine that's somewhere on the Internet. This free domain won't have a lot of your more obscure favorites, but it will have the majority of mainstream radio hits.
The first thing I noticed about this app was how incredibly simple its design is. The background is black, and the text is typewritten in a white, plain-jane serif font. At any given point, there are sizable, invasive ads that banner across the top, bottom or even straight through the middle of the screen. You can definitely tell this is a free application.
The app's simplicity makes use a cake-walk. There's a search bar along the top of the app, where you can type in the artist or song you're looking for. Below that is a drop-down menu titled "More Options." Here, you have the choice to click either "Billboard," "Download Panel," "My Music" or "My Ringtones" — all pretty self-explanatory options (Billboard, referring to the Billboard hits of the moment). I never had any trouble finding where my track was after download.
Music Wizard Downloader is very similar in concept to the traditional peer-to-peer programs, like Napster, Limewire or Kazaa. I've been out of the illegal downloading game for a while, though, so I realized that I have completely forgotten that you sometimes really get what you pay for when you download free. You might not always get the exact song you'd hoped for, downloads might lag and then fail for no apparent reason, the sound quality won't be very great, the track will be incomplete or the file will be unreadable. The case is the same with this app — you might have to download a track a few times before you get something workable, or find exactly what you're looking for.
Music lovers who are crazy about programs like Limewire, though, might find this app to be too tedious. This app is different from the more-standard P2P apps, in that you can't go crazy downloading whole albums or .ZIP files of tons and tons of songs. Music Wizard Downloader is set up for users to download one song at a time.
You have the option to preview a song before downloading it, but I found that this feature only worked 50 percent of the time. I would often encounter a "streaming error" from the network, and I would just have to hope that the track I chose was the right one. I also noticed that when the preview option did work, the app would often play the entire song. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just a little strange, seeing that I'm used to the one-and-a-half minute run on iTunes.
In addition to allowing you to download songs, Music Wizard Downloader also provides you with the tools you need to make your own ringtones. The process is easy, similar to what you would see on a website like Phonezoo, where you move the sound-editing bars back and forth across the screen to indicate where you want a song to start and end.
I was especially pleased to find that if you have a high-quality song, you're pretty much guaranteed a high-quality ringtone. When you're done, the app asks if you want to save it for later, assign it to a particular person or make it your default ringer. You can even share it with friends.
Music Wizard Downloader is a great, free way to download music, and make your own ringtones. It has its flaws, but beause it's free, it's certainly worth checking out.

Cardinals drop series with loss to Marlins, 7-2
Sunday, June 16, 2013
MIAMI — Maybe the St. Louis Cardinals were looking ahead to the Chicago Cubs.
In a matchup of worst versus first, NL Central leader St. Louis mustered only five hits Sunday and lost to the woeful Miami Marlins, 7-2.
The Cardinals dropped two of three games in Miami — the first series they've lost since April 26-28 against Pittsburgh. They went 5-4 on a three-city trip and open a homestand Monday against the traditional rival Cubs.
The Marlins climbed above .300 at 21-47, still baseball's worst record.
"We didn't see it," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "The team we saw is hitting the ball and making good pitches."
The Cardinals didn't do enough of either. Tyler Lyons (2-3), making his fifth major-league start, lost for the third time in a row after winning his first two decisions.
Lyons gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings.
"I made some mistakes with guys on base," the rookie said.
The Cardinals, who have the lowest ERA in the majors, gave up 19 runs in the series. Meanwhile, they managed just three hits and one run against Ricky Nolasco, who pitched seven innings.
St. Louis scored a run in the ninth and loaded the bases with two out, but Steve Cishek came in to strike out pinch-hitter Matt Holliday looking to end the game.
Matheny liked the comeback bid.
"These guys have always shown that — they don't give up," Matheny said. "They keep coming. That will pay off in the long run."
Aside from the ninth inning, the Cardinals did little. All of their hits were singles, and with Holliday and NL batting leader Yadier Molina out of the starting lineup and given a day to rest, St. Louis went down in order in five of the first six innings.
Carlos Beltran finished 0-for-4 to end the longest active hitting streak in the majors at 14 games. Matt Carpenter was also hitless and went 7-for-38 (.184) on the trip.
Jon Jay and Matt Adams drove in St. Louis' runs. Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton made a leaping catch at the fence to rob Adams of an RBI and an extra-base hit in the seventh.
"With that lineup, probably among the top three in the league, you just have to stay focused," Nolasco said. "You can't lose concentration and leave balls over the middle, because they're just going to start crushing you. I was able to get away with some balls that they hit hard, and we had great defense at the same time, so it worked out."
A bout of wildness against the bottom of the order cost Lyons in the fourth inning. He hit Jeff Mathis, who was batting .128, and then Nolasco walked for the first time this year to load the bases. Juan Pierre followed with a two-out, two-run single for a 4-1 Miami lead.
Placido Polanco had three hits starting for the first time in five games after being sidelined by back stiffness. His two-out, two-run double in the fifth made it 6-1.
The abundance of offense was a refreshing change for Nolasco (4-7), who has endured the worst run support of any pitcher with at least 14 starts. Luxuriating in an early lead, he retired 11 in a row during one stretch.
"It helps a ton," he said. "It just changes everything and the way you pitch and your approach."
Pierre drove in two runs and had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, while Justin Ruggiano added a two-RBI single. The Marlins have won eight of the past 14 games, their best stretch this season.
"To get a win against such a great team and a great lineup, and to play as well as we did, that's a great day for all of us," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
Notes: Miami 1B Logan Morrison (back) took grounders before the game but sat out for the third day in a row. ... Lyons' six strikeouts were a career high. ... The crowd of 18,468 was the largest of the homestand. ... David Freese had one hit, but his lifetime average against the Marlins fell to .462 (18-for-39).

One Colorado volunteer is OK, but searchers are still looking for another following yesterday's massive earthquake in South Asia.
The magnitude eight-point-seven quake struck just after nine a-m Mountain time yesterday, killing an estimated two-thousand people.
Joseph Burke of Arvada and Paul Petty of Evergreen are among Colorado volunteers who went to Indonesia this month to assist with tsunami (soo-NAH'-mee) relief, in the wake of December's natural disaster that killed more than 174-thousand people.
Another volunteer called Burke's wife last night to let her know he's fine and should return to Colorado on Thursday, but there's been no word on Petty.
His pastor says Petty has had trouble e-mailing ever since he's been there.
Petty is due back April Fifth.
The Indonesian island of Nias (NEE'-us) took the brunt of the quake. Burke left Nias before the quake hit, but Petty and other volunteers were reportedly still there at the time the quake struck.
An overflight of the island shows nearly 30 percent of the buildings in its largest city have been destroyed.

What Next for U.S. Foreign Policy?
Peter Feaver, Shadow Government

The midterm election results were a strong rebuke of President Obama and the Democratic Party's stewardship of political power, but they turned almost entirely on domestic issues not foreign policy. Therefore, the foreign policy implications of the election are likely to be indirect rather than direct.
Even when foreign policy issues are an important factor in a midterm election -- think the public dissatisfaction with the Iraq War helping to fuel Democratic gains in 2006 -- it does not necessarily translate into a predictable change on those issues. The new Democrat-controlled Congress believed they had a mandate to force a rapid retreat from Iraq in 2007 and they tried very hard to impose that policy on the Bush administration. President Bush interpreted the 2006 election as a...
