Calling all Teens
Printer-friendly version
The Brisbane Parks & Recreation Department is actively seeking dedicated, enthusiastic, and motivated teens to join the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). Committee members have the important duty of advising the Parks & Recreation Commission and Recreation staff on the programs and issues that concern the youth and teens in the Brisbane community. This is a great way to get involved in your community and make a difference. YAC members will also participate in the annual YAC Attack event through the California Parks & Recreation Society. YAC Attack is a one day educational leadership conference for YAC members from all over Northern California. Applications will be reviewed as they are received by YAC Advisor, Ricardo Monroy, and Recreation Supervisor, Steve Beaty. Once a committee is established, meetings will be scheduled on Wednesday evenings once per month. (Be advised that the Committee generally does not meet in the Summer and YAC meetings are conducted only August-May.) For additional information, please contact Ricardo directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or 415-508-2143 – Application available online here. Apply today!
Caltrain Construction Work
Printer-friendly version
Since April of 2015, Caltrain has been performing work within the railroad right-of-way in Brisbane as part of the Advanced Signal System Project to upgrade the safety, performance, and operating efficiency of the Peninsula's commuter rail system.
On April 23- 29, Caltrain will be conducting safety tests on the corridor as part of the final phase of implementing the Advanced Signal System Project. To test the Advanced Signal System, including the roadway crossings, a test train will run through the corridor between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Tests are conducted at night to avoid disruption of most of regular train service and properly record the results. Neighbors may experience standard gate crossing noise and horns during this time and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Advanced Signal System, also called Communications Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS) Positive Train Control (PTC) will equip the corridor with federally-mandated safety technology and increase system capacity to help accommodate future ridership demand. The Project will monitor and, if necessary, control train movement in the event of human error. This will increase safety by:
- Eliminating the risk of train-to-train collisions
- Reducing risk of potential derailments by enforcing speed limits
- Providing additional safety for railroad workers on the tracks
- Improving grade crossing performance to reduce gate downtime and improve local traffic circulation
The CBOSS PTC system is scheduled to be operational by 2015 and is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program, which will electrify the Caltrain Corridor by 2019. An electrified Caltrain will be cleaner and quieter and will upgrade the system to provide faster and/or more frequent service to more stations and riders.
To implement the CBOSS PTC system, there are several installation phases (boring, conduit, fiber pulling, testing) that will occur within Caltrain's right-of-way, usually at night (8pm to 6am) in order to maintain regular train service. Testing of the fiber cable and the overall system is scheduled for spring 2015. Residents may experience some minor installation noise during this time. For more information, please view the Caltrain's CBOSS PTC Project page or contact Caltrain at (650) 508-6499; e-mail: email@example.com .

Paying income taxes, for the most part, is a foregone conclusion. You can lower them, avoid them, and even delay paying them. But eventually you must write the government a check, in an amount determined by the I.R.S. Tax Code.
But a number of citizens aren't happy with just paying less tax. They simply don't want to pay any, and have stashed their fortunes in icy Swiss banks or in tropical Bermuda.
In the past, bank officials in those countries would keep the depositor's name a secret, and banking laws in their countries allowed them to do so.
Those days and practices are gone.
[Related -Aaron's, Inc. (AAN): Fundamental Stock Research Analysis]
But don't give up hope. There is a way for you to build a "bomb" shelter that protects your income and your assets from the fingers of the taxman. You can legally avoid paying income taxes in the good ol' USA with a few simple investments.
Many individuals who are looking to hide assets from the I.R.S. don't have to turn to offshore investing to do it. They can stay right here in the USA, where a number of alternatives present themselves in the form of dummy or blind corporations.
[Related -Dividend Roundup: AAN, CSL, DNB, GEO, RELV, THI, WIN]
And combined with a much more insidious form of secrecy - that in which bank officials or other authorities simply don't ask for names. It makes for a very appealing climate for the unscrupulous.
There are a few states at the top of the list:
No one knows for sure how much money is being sheltered, but none of it has gone unnoticed by the feds. A study conducted by the I.R.S.
In this current era of central planning, malincentives abound. We raced to frack as fast we could for the read on...
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged yesterday, as widely expected. But the possibility of a read on...
It was never supposed to be this daunting. At least that's what we were read on...

Best Game Ever- must buy
This review is from: Section 8 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Basically it's Call of Duty, Halo, and crysis all in one game. At it's time of release this game was truely the best out, not many people gave it a chance though. Drop in and take control of tanks, and mechs, or play defensive and call in minigun drops, rocket turret drops, and much more. With many weapons to choose from, there a gun for everyone. PLAY S8. And if you don't know, its sequel: Section 8 Predjudice is planned for release spring 2010 and will only be 15$ download via XBOX LIVE, PSN, Steam, GFWL, D2D and more. You won't be dissappointed.
Cons: No cons really. I guess the price here is really high, but as of now i'd recommend just waiting untill predjudice is released.
Other Thoughts: Newegg is good at keeping up with the latest game releases so hopefully they will have S8 Predjudice too. :)

High Hopes... Let Down
This review is from: Section 8 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Graphics on 720p are great on my 26" HDTV. Opening video was to die for and made you really want to get into the game ASAP. Doing the 'Burn in' was awesome every single time I did it, always just fun to charge in head first.
Cons: That's where the pro's end unfortunately. This game really, REALLY lacks so very much content for those still interested in the single player. Honestly the description of the game is the whole backstory behind it, you get nothing more from the game, nothing. Gameplay... yeah... FAIL; the single player was built off of the multi-player engine, as in when you die, there is no game over, you simply drop in again and keep going. This is just... wrong as far as single-player games should go, the final boss is impossible to beat without this rediculous advantage that takes all effort out of the game. Online play I hear would be fun but is not, I can't comment, I don't pay to have the game, and then pay to play it online. Built-in auto-lock is a joke, really, it engages an Aim-bot for 3 seconds; ok so I guess if it's programmed into the game it's not cheating anymore.... how the times have changed. Customization lacks, weapon selection lacks, user interface lacks... this game just lacks...
Other Thoughts: This game had great expectations and promise, and for some of the online functions, it probably delivered. But for those of us looking to the single player, this game has been the worst let-down I have encurred in 15 years of gaming. The controls are edgy, touchy, and cumbersome; gameplay left me absolutely shocked and disappointed, but the multi-player was fun for the most part which kept me from using the game as an airsoft target in the back yard. Overall, this was one of the worst games I have ever played that looked great doing it, save your money, get COD4 Modern Warfare 2, Halo ODST, or some other FPS on the market, it WILL be a much better worth while of your time than this one if you at all like campaigns. Anyone strictly online, this game is hit-or-miss... you have been warned.

Sleek and sporty the Tetra 12 is unlike any other kayak introduced to the market by Ocean Kayak. This low profile craft has clean lines and glides through the water with ease. Equipped with the unique Comfort Hybrid seat back that adjusts easily and provides lumbar support, the Tetra is ready to ride the minute you hit the water. Available in the 10 or 12 ft. lengths this kayak is perfect for day trips, kayak angling or a casual paddle after work.

I own 2 tetra 12s. They are great! very easy to maneuver in the water and lightweight. I am a beginner kayaker and am now so comfortable in the water because of this kayak. I would highly recommend this model.
I love my lime green Tetra 12! I read all I could find on SOTs in the 12' range for over 8 months before buying. I sat in several, but paddled none when I made my decision to buy my first non-inflatable kayak. Tetra 12 started out at the top of my list, then I became distracted by more expensive boats (Wilderness Systems, Jackson, and even Hobie). After sitting in all that I thought would meet my needs as far as size, performance and capacity I had to eliminate several because they would be way too heavy for me to load and unload alone. Between the Tetra and the Hobie Quest 11, I decided that for a first timer the Hobie was not over 60% more comfortable price-wise. I made the perfect choice for me! This yak is stable from the get-go, and continues to be stable even in the rough water of Joe Pool Lake on a windy (18-20 mph) day. I mostly wanted a kayak for fun on the water and exercise, but with the added rod holders and Mod Pod II, I can accessorize to my heart's content. I could even fish from it if I want. The rudder was a pricey addition that I would not want to be without in the wind. I can concentrate on paddling and working my arms and core in a rhythm and let my feet make course adjustments. I got my boat on the water for the first time Mother's Day. Since then I have paddled over 50 miles according to my tracking apps. I paddled 8 miles last Friday! I am a 5'3 female. I weighed 164 that first day. To date I have lost 10 lbs and I owe that to paddling and loading my kayak. If you search the net for Tetra reviews you won't find many, good or bad. I don't understand because this is an awesome lightweight and fast boat with a lot of weight capacity and plenty of storage for someone who needs to haul a lot of comforts everywhere she goes. Dave and the guys in Houston were very helpful and patient during my Q&A visits, calls, and ordering. After all the reading, shopping online, and driving around and looking, my husband asked what would I change. If I was buying now after paddling my Tetra, what would I buy. I would buy the Tetra 12 again. It is just perfect for me and my needs. Next I want to see how it handles in the surf and BTB. 😉

Drew Industries Acquires Rights To New RV Components Including Innovative Wall Slide
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW) today reported that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., completed the previously announced acquisition of certain intellectual property and other assets from Michigan-based Schwintek, Inc. The purchase included several products for which patents are pending, including an innovative wall slide-out mechanism, an aluminum cylinder for use in leveling devices for motorhomes, and a new tent camper device. The purchase price consists of $20 million paid at closing from available cash, plus an earn-out which is expected to aggregate $10 million to $15 million over the next 3 to 5 years, depending on future unit sales of these products in excess of pre-established hurdles. Mike Schwindaman and Mike Howard, the owners of Schwintek, entered into consulting, product development and non-competition agreements with Lippert Components."Our strong balance sheet and cash position enabled us to complete this acquisition without incurring debt," said Fred Zinn, Drew's President and CEO. "We still have adequate cash to continue to pursue expansion opportunities that we believe will yield favorable returns on our investment." "Largely through new product introductions and market share growth, we have more than tripled our content in the average travel trailer and fifth-wheel RV, from $670 in 2001 to $2,101 in 2009. These new products fit into our long-term plan to continue to increase our content in all types of RVs," said Zinn. " Mike Schwindaman has a proven ability to design new products that are both extremely functional and efficient to manufacture. The product development agreements we now have with Mike Schwindaman and Mike Howard greatly expand the R&D capabilities of Lippert Components, and provide a framework for our purchase of additional RV products they design over the next five years. They are already working on a 'new concept' leveling device for motorhomes that utilizes the aluminum cylinder we just purchased." "The new wall slide-out design is expected to gain substantial market share in both the motorhome and towable RV markets, because of its significant advantages over many other slide-out mechanisms," said Jason Lippert, President and CEO of Drew's subsidiaries, Lippert Components and Kinro, Inc. "This wall slide-out mechanism is considerably lighter and more space efficient. It also minimizes the need for manual adjustments by the RV user, significantly reducing one of the biggest warranty issues for RV dealers. Schwintek and Lippert Components have been selling this wall slide-out for several months, and it has generated a high level of interest throughout the RV industry. Lippert Components will now be the exclusive supplier of this product. We are also exploring alternative applications for this design, for example, in our power TV lifts." "We will be manufacturing the products we acquired in our existing factories with very little additional overhead, which should allow us to be highly efficient," said Jason Lippert. "As a result, we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our earnings in the first year. Further, we expect to leverage our extensive marketing and distribution capabilities to continue to gain market share." About Drew Drew, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kinro and Lippert Components, supplies a broad array of components for RVs and manufactured homes, including windows, doors, chassis, chassis parts, bath and shower units, axles, and upholstered furniture. In addition, Drew manufactures slide-out mechanisms for RVs, and trailers primarily for hauling boats. Currently, from 24 factories located throughout the United States, Drew serves most major national manufacturers of RVs and manufactured homes in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Additional information about Drew and its products can be found at www.drewindustries.com.

Waugh, Frank A. (Frank Albert), 1869-1943
Frank A. Waugh Papers, 1896-1983.
Call no.: FS 088
Born in Wisconsin but raised and educated in Kansas, Frank Waugh got his first teaching job at Oklahoma State University. He went on to teach at the University of Vermont and finally settled down in Amherst, as a professor at Massachusetts Agricultural College. While at Mass Aggie, he became well know for establishing the second landscape gardening department in the country, later the department of landscape architecture. At a time when the field of landscape architecture was still taking root, Waugh's influence was significant in shaping the profession. His contributions include numerous articles and books, the designs he planned and implemented, and the many students he taught and mentored. A natural offshoot of his work as a landscape architect, Waugh pursued other artistic avenues as well, most notably photography and etching. He served at MAC, later Massachusetts State College, for nearly forty years before retiring in 1939.
The collection includes an extensive representation of Waugh's published articles along with biographical materials. The centerpiece, however, is the large number of photographs, lantern slides, and etchings. While his publications reveal the mind of a pioneer in his field, together these images portray the heart and soul of Waugh as an artist.

Call no.: FS 017
Ervin H. Zube was the head of the University's Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning department (LARP) from 1965-1977. His groundbreaking research on landscape architecture and assessment helped define the international importance and influence of the field and his consultancy work, most notably with the National Park Service, brought his intellectual achievements into practical application. Born on April 24, 1931 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Zube earned his B.S. at the University of Wisconsin in 1954. After a two year service in the United States Air Force, Zube enrolled in Harvard's Graduate School of Design where he received his M.L.A in 1959. Zube held teaching positions at the University of Wisconsin and the University of California, Berkeley before beginning his ten year professorship at the University of Massachusetts in 1965. As the head of LARP, Zube established the Environmental Design program, which introduced a revolutionary cross-discipline approach to the study of landscape architecture. Zube became the director of the Institute for Man and the Environment in 1972 and restructured the institute to support academic research in new, important topics including community development and cooperation with the National Park Service, seeding important national and international institutions with progressively educated researchers. As a consultant, Zube helped the National Park Service develop their "master plan" for Yosemite and worked with numerous national and international institutions to manage and assess their environmental resources. Zube ended his career as a professor at the University of Arizona where he retired in 1983. He remained active in the field until his death in 2001.
The Ervin H. Zube papers include Zube's lecture notes and academic correspondence, research materials and publications representing his work in landscape assessment and architecture, notes and reports from his consultancy work with many institutions and committees, correspondence from his role as a conference planner, as well as correspondence relating to his many book reviews. Zube's papers also cover his research and teaching while at the University of Arizona and contain photographs from his research on the Connecticut River Valley.

From its early years, AAI provided financial and social support for African students studying in the U.S., but it has expanded its activities in scope with the goal of helping to building leadership for Africa within the academic, professional, business, and policy making classes. It has become a vibrant intellectual center for developing human capacity, drawing together thought leaders, researchers, and entrepreneurs interested in issues relating to the continent.
A massive body of material documenting the history of the AAI from its founding in the early 1950s to the present, the collection is a remarkable resource for study of American relations with Africa as the continent emerged from colonial domination. With a focus on the history of educational support and exchange between the continents, the collection contains a vibrant record of the growth of leadership in Africa.

Albertson, Dean
Dean Albertson Papers, 1966-1968.
Call no.: FS 114
A long-time faculty member at UMass Amherst, Dean Albertson was a twentieth century U.S. historian with a specialty in oral history. A veteran of the Second World War, Albertson received his BA from University of California Berkeley (1942) and doctorate from Columbia (1955), joining the Department of History at UMass in 1965 after several years at Brooklyn College. Interested throughout his career in new methods in research and teaching history, he was author of books on Dwight Eisenhower, Claude Wickard (Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture), and the student movements of the 1960s. Albertson died at his home in Longmeadow, Mass., on March 31, 1989, at the age of 68.
The Albertson Papers consist of the records of three summer institutes in history at UMass run during the summer 1966-1968, and funded by the National Defence Education Act (NDEA). Aimed at high school teachers of social sciences and history in western Massachusetts, the institutes were designed to provide in-service training and to expose teachers to newer material and techniques in teaching U.S. history.

Dwight William Allen Papers, 1967-1975.
Call no.: FS 165
A influential and flamboyant educational reformer, Dwight W. Allen served as Director of Teacher Education at his alma mater Stanford from 1959 until accepting a position as Dean of the School of Education at UMass Amherst in 1967. A proponent of integrating technology into teaching and co-developer of the technique of microteaching, Allen cemented his reputation as an innovator during his time at UMass (1968-1975), a time that coincided with the rapid expansion of the university. Allen helped recruit students of color to the graduate program in significant numbers, opened admissions to students with unconvential credentials, allowed students a voice in directing and governing the program, and abolished grading, among other initiatives, but while supporters lauded the creativity and excitement of the period, his radical ideas elicited considerable opposition as well. He resigned in 1975, in part due to the increasing demands his international consulting, later accepting a position at Old Dominion University, where he remained until his retirement in 2008. Allen is author of nine books, including American Schools: The $100 Billion Challenge, written with his former graduate student Bill Cosby.
The Allen papers contain a wealth of materials pertaining to the tumultuous years at UMass, including Allen's curricular and teaching reforms, special projects, and his efforts to recruit African American students and address institutional racism. The correspondence, memos, and private reports that Allen maintained are particularly valuable for understanding the period as are the various surveys, studies, and reports on the state of the School of Education. The collection also includes material relating to some of Allen's academic interests in education, including microteaching, alternative schools, and certification.

On the other hand, I can say that I have co-published with David Suzuki! It's time to put the planet before […]

BC's economy and the Liberal platform
April 29th, 2009 · Marc Lee · 1 Comment · Climate change & energy policy, Economy, Provincial budget & finance
With my oped last week on the NDP platform making me less than popular over at NDP HQ, today the Sun published my take on the Liberals' platform, thereby guaranteeing that the list of Christmas parties I get invited to dwindles to next to nothing.

Is funnelling money into shovel-ready projects the best strategy for infrastructure development?
March 27th, 2009 · Iglika Ivanova · Comments Off on Is funnelling money into shovel-ready projects the best strategy for infrastructure development? · Economy, Provincial budget & finance
I often get asked: "Shouldn't we support the Olympics or the Port Mann bridge (or any of the multitude of poorly handled infrastructure projects in our province) despite their substantial cost overruns on the grounds that they will create jobs and benefit the economy?" The problem with this question is that it allows for two […]

And Another Thing About the Port Mann non-P3
March 4th, 2009 · Marvin Shaffer · Comments Off on And Another Thing About the Port Mann non-P3 · Privatization, P3s & public services, Provincial budget & finance
Now that the government has abandoned private financing of the Port Mann, it's time to make the bigger but equally sensible leap and abandon the concept of a cost recovery project toll. I'm all for tolling. Unless you are a fan of the queues inevitably created by what can only be described as our current […]

Wow. Things can change pretty quickly in a day. Apparently the Port Mann Bridge P3 was just too ridiculous. Jeff Nagel already has a very interesting article in the Surrey Leader on the cancellation of the public private partnership. He includes the following quote from the Partnerships BC boss Larry Blain. Critics have long said […]

Death of a P3

And so the P3 financing deal for the Port Mann Super-Bridge died, conveniently right when it will get the least media coverage. Here's the breaking news from the Sun: The province has been unable to reach a finance-arranging deal with the consortium that was to build the new Port Mann Bridge, transportation Minister Kevin Falcon […]

Leavenworth can be frustrating for some people. On the one hand, its settlement in the North Cascades is absoutely breathtaking. If ever there was a hamlet that's aesthetically justified in its decision to immerse itself in the faux-Bavarian theme, it's Leavenworth. On the other hand, said faux-Bavarianness is so all-encompassing and uber-kitschy that it understandably drives a certain type of person absolutely batshit. If you're that type of person, you probably stay far, far away from Leavenworth come Oktoberfest time. I'm here to try and convince you to reconsider.
For starters, if you're going to go into the belly of the faux-Bavarian beast, it's definitely better to get completely wet then tool around gawking at figurines, bad art, sausages, and taffy all day. And there's no wetter faux-Bavarian experience than Oktoberfest, a tradition with gratuitous consumption of beer at its very core. This past weekend, I rented a house on the Wenatchee River with a bunch of friends and dove head first into the revelry. On the walk over, I expected overpriced booze and an obnoxiously claustrophobic collection of amateur drunks. But while there were more than a handful of Wazzu sweatshirts on display this past Saturday, the crowd was tame yet fun -- and the designer beers only set us back $4 per pint, which is about what I'd pay at a normal pub. But for a festival? Unbelievably reasonable. While the weather this coming weekend probably won't be anywhere close to as balmy as that which we experienced, I'd still highly recommend it. That or wait until next Oktober.

So, this morning at my personal training session I took the "body age" test for the first time since before I left for Germany. My goal was to be the same or better than the last time I tested. I have taken about 7 of these tests in the past year. The first time I tested (almost exactly a year ago) it calculated my "body age" to be 37, and this was after I'd already lost about 60lbs from my top weight.
Today, it calculated my "body age" at 28 years old. Chronologically, I turn 35 in exactly one month. The only section I didn't place "good" "optimal" or "elite" in was body composition. I am 5'4.5" tall and I weight 203lbs (by the gym scale). However, my current body fat percentage is only 33.7% (unexpectedly low for my height/weight ratio). And when we plugged in my proposed goal weight of 156 (half of my top weight and still solidly in the "overweight" section of the BMI chart for my height), it said if I didn't lose muscle mass, I'd have a body fat percentage of 13.5% (very very low). It suggested that for ideal body composition, I should weigh between 166.4-177.3lbs. On the BMI chart, the cutoff between Overweight and Obese for my height is around 180lbs. This is yet more evidence that the BMI chart is a metric ton of bovine feces and only applies to the "average" person...when many of us are simply *not* average.
So, I'm just gonna train for my runs and do my strength training twice a week and eat well this year and wherever I land at the end of the year, that's where I'll land. I suspect that if I do right by my body this year, by the end of it I'll be well within healthy body composition standards one way or another. Forget the BMI.

Dinner to celebrate 10 years of HEART
By: Dominique Perkins Special to the Journal
Auburn-based organization combats AIDS in Kenya
Vickie Winkler is living proof that one person can make a huge difference. Winkler and her late husband, Kenn, served as missionaries in Kenya almost 30 years ago. A return visit at the height of the AIDS crisis prompted further action. All around her she saw people in need: widows without suitable medical care or ways to support themselves, children left orphaned by HIV or other diseases, and hospitals without access to clean water. Winkler's reaction was understandable — somebody should help them, she said recently. As she prayed, she felt strongly that she, in fact, was that somebody. And so she started with a small team of family and friends from her local Auburn congregation, and HEART, the Health Education Africa Resource Team was born. Now, HEART is an international non-profit organization and is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a benefit dinner Feb. 27 at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn. The dinner will include an address by keynote speaker Warren Buckingham III, who recently accepted a post in the Washington, D.C. Global AIDS Office. HEART has "expanded its borders a lot," said Gloria Martinez of the Auburn office. Thousands have gotten involved across the country, giving their time and finances to support Winkler's mission — to empower the people of Africa to survive the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Wherever Winkler sees a need she fills it, says Bev Brown, Winkler's sister-in-law who now serves on the HEART board of directors and as the regional coordinator for HEART in Colorado. Winkler now spends most of her year in Kenya. "She calls them God's thoughts," Brown said. "He just drops a thought in her heart, and she figures out a way to make it work." These thoughts have now become specific projects overseen by a Kenyan board of directors that works closely with an American counterpart of volunteer teams and health professionals. "I would go back tomorrow if I had the money," Martinez said. "It was probably one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had in my life. It's amazing to see all these wonderful programs and how they've succeeded." Teams traveling to Kenya choose which projects they want to work on. Projects include disease prevention education; providing clean water, basic nutrition and medical care; and empowering women and children to attend school and support themselves. Individual projects are detailed on the HEART Web site, africaheart.com. Brown describes one of her favorite volunteer trips to Kenya when her team chose to build a mud hut for an 80-year-old woman. "She had been living in this little — shack isn't the right word," she said. "A shack would have been a grade up from what she was living in." Her team built the hut and also purchased some furnishings. The woman had never slept on a bed before, and Brown said she would never forget this woman's joy when the home was completed. "It's just a really rewarding experience and very humbling to go and see how it is there. To see the programs and see all that is being accomplished," Brown said. "Your work here is much more meaningful once you've gone over there."

Since publication of the second edition of the American Indian Law Deskbook, the field of Indian law has developed significantly, most notably in the areas of tribal lands acquisitions, tribal gaming, child custody, and contested sovereignty matters. As with the first edition, the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG) has published annual supplements to keep the second edition current; however, the volume and significance of developments in case law, legislation, and regulation make this third edition timely, and perhaps imperative.
As noted in the Forewords to the first and second editions, Indian law has developed as one of the most complex and nuanced of fields, in part because it is the product of a complex history of confrontation, accommodation, and policy reversals. While Indian law arose in the conflicts of Indians and white settlers, it now functions in the context of a multicultural society, dedicated to civil rights and racial equality. The practitioner and scholar in Indian law must deal with criminal law, civil regulatory and adjudicatory law, constitutional law, property law, natural resources law, civil rights law, statutory interpretation, administrative and regulatory law, and similar fields. No single book can instruct completely as to all these areas, but a thorough and continually updated compendium of the law is a needed and powerful resource for Indian law study and practice.
The offices of state attorneys general, with their combined expertise in all areas of Indian law, have been an appropriate—and willing—source of the immense work needed to provide that compendium. As with earlier Deskbook editions, this third edition continues a commitment to neutral and disinterested discourse and analysis.
The changes in this edition include revisions to the organization of many chapters and the substantive analysis in all chapters. Of particular note are the expanded discussion of the trust doctrine in Chapter 1; the significantly revised discussion of the term "Indian" in Chapter 2; the detailed analysis directed to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act in Chapter 3; the analysis in Chapter 4 of the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act; the exploration in Chapter 5 of the various methods by which Congress

Terra Tech Corp.: Discusses Merger & Acquisition Strategy, Corporate Objectives And Future Outlook.
Terra Tech Corp. (OTCBB: TRTC), a leader in sustainable agricultural products, releases shareholder update of their corporate objectives and details on their current M&A opportunities. Terra Tech recently announced signing LOI's to acquire two companies, GroRite Garden Centers and NB plants/ Edible Garden brand. Upon a successful merger these two acquisitions will push annual revenue for Terra Tech to over $10 million. Terra Tech has stated in the past that an aggressive M&A strategy is instrumental in accelerating growth for the company.The company is currently working towards definitive documents to close the transaction and determined it was important to make investors aware of the progress and details. The Vande Vrede family, who has a rich history in Dutch farming techniques, owns both GroRite and NB Plants. Terra Tech has begun due diligence and can report that each company is both net income and cash flow positive. Company CEO Derek Peterson stated, "Dealing with one family to close two large transactions for Terra Tech has made negotiations very easy. This is a significant step for our company as Terra Tech continues to mature. Our focus is to integrate companies that have positive earnings and that are symbiotic to our core business." The company is focused on closing these transactions quickly and launching their expansion plans for both entities. NB Plants is currently expanding their footprint into major retailers throughout the US by focusing on strategic relationships in Florida, a $1.7 billion market as well as the Midwest. In addition they intend on increasing the penetration they currently have with Shoprite, Food Emporium and the other 12,000 major grocery chains in the North East market. GroRite is currently looking at other locations throughout the US to expand its retail footprint. Terra Tech recently placed a deposit on 5 acres of greenhouse structure to be erected at NB Plants in New Jersey. As phase one, NB Plants plans to construct 1.5 acres immediately to fulfill the demand of a new contract for close to $1 Million in additional product sales. The construction of the additional 3.5 acres is planned over the following 24 months. Each acre of greenhouse has the ability to produce close to $2 million of produce annually.

For what it's worth, an iPad 2 WiFi only here.
iOS 5.1.1 was good to me, never once would it disconnect from WiFi. Updated to iOS 6.1, and sure enough NO disconnects! All backround apps ran perfect until manually triggered to stop. Until today that is. Noticed the battery was below 20%, woke the tablet to find it disconnected only to connect before going to sleep again. Figured, possible a feature when the bat is low? Though I never read it in the list of changes for the new OS...
Charged to 40%, same issue. Performed a reset as was and has not disconnected now for 2 days, all notifications trickle in as prescribed and the backround apps still running hours on in.
This is a bug ladies and gents, treat it as such.

I think the wifi connectivity code changed for the wifi only devices too.
Only after iOS 6 did I start losing connection to my work's Cisco based router, and only when my iPod was unplugged.
Works fine at home.
I notice that when I do bring the device out of sleep at work, the wifi icon has disappeared but then reappears a few seconds later. I see the Cisco login screen pop up, very briefly it shows that it is trying to connect to www.apple.com then moves straight onto a numerical IP address which looks like https://22.214.171.124.
The connection to apple I'm pretty sure is new for iOS 6.
At some point the iPod goes to sleep, iOS 6 decides it is on battery power and kills the wifi. On my home router something keeps a base level connectivity going, but the Cisco router at work, despite being set to a 12 hour time out, deauthorises after 10 minutes, all push notifications stop, and the only way round is to log back in with full credentials.
This rigmarole is avoided:
- at home, plugged in or not
- at work, plugged in
- with iOS 5.
Muji's tips did not work in my case. Over to Apple and iOS 6.2!

Ok, I am a new Apple iPod owner and have encountered this same problem. I have a solution that DOES work, but may be difficult (though the solution is easy) for many of you to use. However, it will work.
The issue, of course, is that once the ipod (I assume iPhone also) goes to sleep it closes down wifi. Now, it closes down provided no application is using it, which is the key. If the wifi is being used in the background the wifi connection remains open for a period of time after the final wifi use. Applications you may have running such as Skype for example will not be considered as using the wifi because no date is being passed; unless you are getting a call the software is just running, etc.
What I did that has worked is to keep the wifi alive: In fact my phone (Skype) just rang while in sleep mode and locked as I was typing.
I am a web developer. I created a blank web page, very light (white screen and one word), with a 2m 15sec REFRESH. I then visited the page using the Safari browser. That's it. Every 2m 15sec the browser (on my iPod) refreshes that page which sends data via wifi. The iPod detects these couple of packets using wifi every 2m 15sec and keeps the connection open. I have the ipod set to sleep after 2 minutes, so it does have time to go to sleep before a refresh (this I get the power saving mode).
If you are using the browser that's fine, just remember to visit the refresh page when your done. Simple.
If you have questions you can reach me at Eddie Studios web design.

I have this problem kinda on and off. But I found a way to cure it temporarily.
1. Connect your iPhone to your wifi.
2. Do a hard reset leaving the wifi connection on.
That's it. When your iPhone's done rebooting, let it connect to your wifi. This seems to work for me everytime it drops wifi after going to sleep. The problem kinda reoccurs though after a while and don't know what's causing it. I just repeat the steps I mentioned and doesn't disconnect again. I don't know if it will work for everyone else but hope it helps.

I have never intended to pay high cellular bills so I bought iPod 4 generation and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for $10/month. I installed SIP (Internet) phone app and I was enjoying calling and receiving calls without air time charges using push notification for my Internet phone. My emails were picked up automatically as I walked through the city the iPod picked up free Wi-Fi in coffee shops, etc. using a POP email account on my home server. (Yes, I own and maintain a web and an email servers at home.) Additionally I use Text Plus app for free texting. With the first upgrade of the iOS I noticed that some emails would display a few lines of text in the preview mode but after opening them they would be blank. I kept upgrading my iOS hoping that the email bug would be resolved with each next update. Enough about the background and about how I use my device. Typical, maybe? Back to the issue on hand. iOS 6 achieved one thing. I no longer can use my iPod reliably. I realized that iOS6 puts Wi-Fi to sleep when the screen locks or shortly after. It is impossible for external push notifications to reach the iPod with Wi-Fi asleep. My mobile hotspot works on 802.11g WPA2-PSK and I have 3 access points at home which are running 802.11a/g/n WPA2-PSK. I am observing the same problem everywhere - at home, with mobile hotspot and on guest Wi-Fi networks except when the iPod is charging. My hope for a fix to my blank email problem died with Steve Jobs. Solution? I keep the iPod on charge in the car. I manually wake it up every so often and check for texts and emails when I walk. I check my voicemails instead of taking live incoming calls and I am upgrading to Samsung with Android next.

Doesn't work like a cellphone?! What does mail notifications, Voip calls, messenger, etc have to do with cellphones? You can do it with an iPod!
I have an iPod still with iOS 5.1 and all my push notifications work with wifi even when it is in sleep mode. On my iPhone it used to work too until I upgrade to iOS 6!!

I'm not sure how this is related to the topic, but you should see my fix on wi-fi being dropped on sleep mode and try it. It works for me and I can't even remember the last time I've done it again coz so far my iphone hasn't done it for a while. Here's what I did:
1. Connect your iPhone to your wifi.
2. Do a hard reset leaving the wifi connection on.
Hope it helps!

An interesting thing happened. I have an iPod touch 5th generation. I was experiencing the same loss of internet problem in sleep mode as everyone else.
I discovered something that I didn't expect. Yes, when the ipod goes into sleep mode it shuts down the internet a short time later. However, when I manually put my ipod on standby (click the on/off button once to lock it) it is different from sleep mode. The internet stays on, my Skype line remains online, and if I get a call it rings. Doesn't matter how much time passes.
The bottom line is that if you simply go into settings/general, and set Autolock to never, and then just click it off when you're done using it (not turn it off, just lock it) the internet will stay on and life is good.
I also discovered that when it is off (locked) even if I change my location so that I loose connectivity and then go to another location where there is wifi the iPod will see it, log on, Skype signes in again, all while it is locked. Life is good.
And while locked the battery drain is barely noticeable.
Isn't this what we all want?
