U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today voted in support of the conference report for H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 (FY12). This annual legislation passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 86-13 and further clarifies current law regarding the U.S. military's authority to capture and detain terrorists.
"Following the devastating attacks on our nation over 10 years ago, our military and justice systems have worked to ensure that terrorists were prevented from harming our nation and its people while being brought to justice," said Inhofe. "Most recently, there has been controversy over provisions in this bill in regards to detainees. There is simply no provision included in this bill that would allow U.S. citizens to be arrested by the military in the United States. As a leading voice in the Senate, I played an instrumental role in getting legislative language included in the bill that further clarifies that this language does not change any current laws towards U.S. citizens or legal resident aliens. The amendment states that "Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of U.S. citizens, lawful resident aliens of the U.S. or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.' This bill passed the Senate 99 to 1. The inclusion of this language ensures the continued success of our nation's judiciary and military sectors against terrorists while not infringing the rights of Americans.
Inhofe continued, "Additionally, Section 1021 increases the protection given to U.S. Citizens by ensuring that the requirement for military detention does not extend to U.S. citizens and legal resident aliens. With these provisions, our military forces are armed with what they need to continue to prosecute the war on against Al Qaeda and its affiliates while also protecting citizen rights.
"During conference, Congress also clarified language that will ensure Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and law enforcement authorities are not affected by this bill. The amendment states that "Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the existing criminal enforcement and national security authorities of the FBI or any other domestic law with regard to a covered person, regardless whether such covered person is held in military custody.'"
With the Senate and House passage of H.R. 1540, it now goes to the White House for President Obama to sign the legislation into law.

Archived Story
Editorial: Opinion pages are mix of viewpointsPublished 11:01am Friday, June 21, 2013
Newspapers, this one included, seek to have opinion pages that provide an array of viewpoints.
But opinion pages work differently than news papers, and that can throw some folks off the track of truth. Some readers know opinions can bring in fuzzy facts, but some do not.
Savvy readers know that facts stated in news stories typically are more credible and less biased than ones on opinion pages, where authors are making arguments using that suits their needs.
Also, if we publish a column where the author calls for the privatization of all public schools, it does not mean the Albert Lea Tribune agrees with that person. If that author uses questionable facts and figures, it doesn't mean the Tribune backs those facts because, as opinion writers will tell you, the line between fact and opinion is blended. An editorial writer's opinion might be that the sky is blue. Yours might be that it is gray. No matter what, we both think the other side is 100 percent false.
The Tribune published a column last Friday by Phil Kerpen, the president of American Commitment and the author of "Democracy Denied." He slammed the ethanol industry quite harshly in his writing.
The Tribune knows the Albert Lea area is a strong supporter of ethanol and published such an alarming column not as a sign of endorsement but to allow locals see what the other side is saying. Informed people want to know both sides, and the newspaper is a common place to get other views. We have published pro-ethanol pieces in past years and welcome more.
A writer of an opinion piece — such as a letter or a column — has the power to dissuade as well as persuade. Just because a letter or column is printed doesn't mean readers believe and follow what is written. Newspaper readers tend to be educated and intelligent. They are skeptical and have a good filter for deceptive nonsense.
Kerpen, who no doubt has funding from fossil fuel companies, was fortunate to have his views printed in ethanol country. It doesn't mean ethanol country believed Kerpen, but they now know the kinds of spin coming from his ilk. That is, if they didn't already know.
If anything, we hope it spurs the ethanol supporters to do more to get the word out to the public about the benefits of ethanol. Gary Pestorious on Thursday took the first step. Now others have to step to the plate and do their part.

A little background on me...
I started WW Oct. 2006 and got to LT Jan 2007. I didn't exercise at all. Just ate my points (and flex points) and averaged a loss of 1.5 lbs a week.
I found out I was pregnany a month after I got to LT. My baby is now 20 months old and I have been working out for a year (curves) and losely counting my points. I decided that I wanted to get back to WW and went in for a weigh in and about died when I saw that I had GAINED 10 lbs!
The last year has been FULL of stress for me, so maybe the stress made me gain?! I do Curves 5 days a week and 3 days a week after curves I run 3 miles and the other two days after curves I do some sort of HARD cardio. (kickboxing, or boot camp class)
So here is my question for you gals....I am at 21 points a day. I earn on average about 8 AP a day. I try NOT to eat them and rarely dip into my flex points. Am I NOT eating enough? The scale is NOT budging! And some weeks I gain .5 to 1 lb?! WHAT?!?!
I am so frustrated! I didn't even have to THINK about it before and I lost EVERY week! Now...it's like the MORE I think about it, and the MORE conscious I am about it....I gain!
FWIW I am 133 and my goal weight is 120. (That's what I was when I got to LT.) I am 5' 5" small frame and REALLY active.

Our Vision:
Feeding people's appetite for life by bringing them together to share different, inspiring and provocative culinary experiences.
Positively Wellington Tourism (regional tourism organisation) and Grow Wellington (regional economic development agency) established Visa Wellington On a Plate (VWOAP) in 2009 to showcase the region's food and beverage sector, and to develop culinary tourism in the region. The festival was also developed as a vehicle to showcase Wellington's regional identity and to provide a platform for the culinary community, from across the wider region, to work together to deliver a unified outcome celebrating the whole region. The Wellington Culinary Events Trust, which now owns and manages VWOAP and Beervana, was established in February 2014 by the founders of the annual festival to govern and further develop the festival and surrounding opportunities.
Our Objectives
- To support Wellington's hospitality and culinary sector to thrive
- To support Wellington to become one of the world's great food cities
- To tell the Wellington Food Story via different, inspiring and provocative culinary experiences
- To drive economic growth for the Wellington region through visitation and export growth
Our Key Messages & Values
VWOAP stands for collaboration and partnership. By developing a relationship with VWOAP through both industry and consumer – you align your organisation in helping to tell an integral part of Wellington's story represented by our key brand values and messages:
- Innovative: Seeking our new culinary adventures
- Real: Authentic experiences
- Community: Food is best shared
- Quality: A restless pursuit of excellence
- Collaborative: A city and region working together to serve up more
VWOAP has quickly gained significant support not only from the Wellington food and beverage industry but also from producers and suppliers. The festival is a key platform for the marketing of the Wellington hospitality industry throughout the Wellington region, New Zealand and Australia. And since its humble-pie beginnings, the annual festival has worked hard to establish a reputation as one of New Zealand's premier culinary events.
The festival has continued to grow both in size and success. Since 2009, DINE Wellington participation has increased over 150% (from 42 to over 100 restaurants) and the Festival Events programme has surged ten-fold (from 12 event to 125) – food for thought!
Economists have even suggested that the Festival has the potential to be as valuable and strategically important to Wellington as reputable events such as Sevens Wellington or the World of WearableArt Awards Show.
Promoting local industry
With a goal to support Wellington's hospitality and culinary sector to thrive, the festival is the cornerstone in supporting Wellington's position as the Cuisine Capital of New Zealand, the festival acts as a platform for a delicious and diverse range of events, programmes and competitions.
Wellington's restaurant community shine through DINE Wellington – where approximately 100 eateries throughout the region offer locally focused set menus – the festivals' centrepiece; Beervana leads the Festival Events programme and the annual battle of the buns, Garage Project presents Burger Wellington, is fast becoming a favourite of the Festival.
Cheers for your support!
VWOAP, owned and operated by the Wellington Culinary Events Trust, is primarily funded by Visa, Positively Wellington Tourism and the Wellington City Council, with additional contributions from our generous sponsors and partners.
As far as we're concerned, having too many cooks in the kitchen is definitely a good thing!
Never miss out!
Make sure you diary the future VWOAP Festivals:
- 12-28 August 2016
- 11-27 August 2017

National Review Slightly Miffed at Rubio
He is young and irresponsible.
National Review's cover story attacking immigration reform has gotten a lot of attention. But — not having read the article, which isn't online yet — the cover doesn't actually seem so bad. National Review was always going to oppose immigration reform. The relevant question was how it, and other conservatives, treated Rubio.
The worst case for Rubio would be a full McCain-style excommunication. This seems more like a gentle clucking of the tongue. It's not "Rubio's Betrayal," it's "Rubio's Folly." A well-intentioned failure. A youthful misadventure, perhaps. And look at those crafty old senators standing next to him — Schumer and McCain. They are the true villains here. Rubio will surely find time to explain this when he hits the primary trail, possibly regretting his support for the law and pledging himself to the real border enforcement he could not get President Obama to sign ...

Green is the new "CHEAP"
Are you looking for some Modolo 919 hoods? There is a set of black ones on eBay right now, other than that your going to have to get some classic Cane Creek one I think if you can find them to fit (they'll fit but not like a glove), or wait for some others to pop up on eBay from time to time. No one really has a stock of them anymore.
The Modolo hoods are getting harder and harder to find, when you can find them without them already having started to harden and dry-rot. They usually run around 30 to 60 depending on condition and who needs them at the time. My average per pair as been around $35. Regular Cane Creek ones run around 10 to 20.

By the way, i notice you have both Coroso and Corso and Modolo/Modelo in your OP. You are googling the correct spelling I hope.

Frackin' brilliant Dennis. Really...REALLY like this one M8! The colours are so vividly strong in the blending and complimenting of each other but, so clearly individually apart of each other. -->
Man thanks for all the comments!
Way to cool!! I been working with the Ultra Fractal 5 and I have to admit I am not quit getting it! But I have a crazy house and it's hard to sit down and really concentrate I was about to give up but your awesome work has inspired me to keep at it!
That is one of the best complements that I could ever hear! If you go to the fractal resources site...(You can find the link on my page in the resources box) You can find all kinds of tutorials and help there...I want to see more of your art in the future...I like your gallery!
Thank you for the compliment on my gallery! And thank you for the tips on where to find tutorials! I need them! I've got the hang of Jasc Paint shop pro but Ultra Fractal is a whole different deal! Amazing.
The manual that comes with UF can be very confusing at times...I've found that the members tutorials are a lot easier...just remember to have fun!
I love this! Great work
Really pure fractal Amazing !

|Ambassador's Speech>2011 >110421
|at the Closing Ceremony of the International Workshop
on Remote Sensing Application for Ground Water Management
in Addis Ababa on 21 April, 2011
|Dr. Markos, Director of Water Resources, Ministry of Water and Energy,
Mr. Ota, Chief Representative of JICA Ethiopia Office,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning. Endemen aderachehu.
It is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity to attend the closing ceremony of the International Workshop on Remote Sensing Application for Ground Water Management held here in Addis Ababa. This workshop has been jointly organized by JICA and the Ethiopian Ministry of Water and Energy. Therefore, first, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to these two organizations on the successful conclusion of this workshop today. Then, I would also like to congratulate all the participating engineers in this workshop, 27 in total from 15 African countries, on accomplishing all the requirements of the program. Congratulations indeed.
Having said that, let me say a few words about this workshop and the Ethiopia Water Technology Center (EWTEC).
Water is indispensable for both our daily life and agriculture. Almost everywhere in rural areas in Ethiopia it is still hard work for women and children to fetch water every day, spending hours to reach water points and to carry water back home. This is mainly because not many water distribution points exist in rural areas. In addition, such water may not always be safe for drinking as sometimes only surface water is available and at other times water is not protected even though it is from underground. Therefore, to secure safe and potable water is an important task for any administration, whether federal, regional or municipal, in any country. In Ethiopia, access to safe water was once the lowest in the world, marking only 22% in 2004. The access improved to 68.5% in late 2010, although the statistics are not compiled on the same basis. It is planned to further improve the access to 98% in rural areas by 2015 according to the GTP. Here is the reason why this workshop is so valuable.
The same can be said of agriculture. Hardly any crops can be grown during the dry season in most of the farmlands in Ethiopia due to the shortage of water. If irrigation schemes were developed extensively in this country, Ethiopia's crop production would be drastically increased as farmers could grow crops twice a year, both in the rainy and dry seasons. In order to realize this, ground water development becomes critically important. Therefore, the knowledge and techniques you have acquired in this workshop will be a precious asset not only for you but also for your government, municipality or organization in exploring and managing ground water resources. Please share what you have learned here with your colleagues at home and make the most use of it for your respective ground water management programs.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
There is one more point I would like to share with you. This international workshop is what we call a third country training program for African participants other than Ethiopian. Twice a year such a program has been offered since the EWTEC was established in 1998 as one of Japan's technical cooperation projects. This time, 16 engineers have participated in this workshop from 14 African countries together with 11 Ethiopian engineers. All the training courses were provided here in Addis Ababa, prepared by JICA and the EWTEC. The trainees did not have to travel all the way to Japan to have the training. This is one of the features of a third country training program, namely easier access to training for participants. At the same time, it must have been a challenge for the EWTEC to prepare and manage the program despite its 12-year history. I believe that this workshop must have provided a good opportunity for the EWTEC to accumulate experiences for the day when it has to be on its own since the third phase of the JICA project will be completed by the end of 2013. I would like to pay tribute to the EWTEC for having done a good job with this workshop. I do hope that the EWTEC will further strengthen its institutional and staff capabilities.
Finally, I want to briefly touch upon the earthquake and tsunami of unprecedented scale which hit Japan last month. I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the heartfelt condolences for the victims, sympathy and warm encouragement for the Japanese people extended by so many people in Ethiopia and also in other African countries.
Thank you very much. Amesegenalehu.

Does the Vista Ultimate Fax facility provide for import of a text file
of contact details ie names and fax numbers, so I can fax blast a
document to 500 sales contacts for example? Currently I am using
WinFax from Symantec for XP and it doesn't work under Vista.
Alternatively can someone suggest third party industrial strength
software for this sort of application?
Also I have a USB fax modem and a PCMCIA fax modem on my notebook and
WinFax can send through both simultaneously. Is there any way of
achieving this in Vista?

Oklahoma City Thunder: Derek Fisher vs. Scott Brooks
Newest Thunder Derek Fisher fingered himself as old Wednesday night when he talked about his relationship with Scotty Brooks. The 37-year-old Fisher pointed out that he played against his new coach.
And Fisher wasn't kidding. Back on April 3, 1998, Fisher's Lakers beat Brooks' Cavaliers 105-93 in Cleveland. That was Fisher's second year in the NBA; it was Brooks' final pro season as a player.
Fisher that night played 16 minutes, scored four points (all on foul shots) and had three assists and three turnovers. Brooks played four minutes; he had two points and two rebounds.
The year before, in the two Laker-Knick games (Brooks was a Knickerbocker that season, 1996-97), Brooks didn't play.
Brooks, now 46, was 33 that final season. There aren't many players left in the NBA who were in the league when Brooks played. Let's see. Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Juwan Howard, Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Chauncey Billups, Grant Hill, Erick Dampier, Marcus Camby, Tracy McGrady, Jerry Stackhouse, Jermaine O'Neal, Tony Battie. I think that's it.
In the latter years of Brooks' playing career, his list of teammates includes all kinds of interesting names. In Cleveland, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, LeBron's sidekick in both Cleveland and Miami. And Danny Ferry, who went on to become the Cleveland general manager and who was in Oklahoma City last week for the Thunder-Spurs game. Even badboy Shawn Kemp.
The year before, 1996-97, Brooks was a Knickerbocker. His teammates included Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, John Starks and Charlie Ward.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One: Gone
My dad says there are good years and bad years for wine. I think there are good years and bad years for kids, too. My fifth-grade year in particular.
I'll admit I started out as sort of a grump, first because my brother celebrated his eighteenth birthday and asked for lemon cake, which I hate.
"Why don't you really go for it, Lester, and ask for prune cake?" I said. "Crab apple cake with grapefruit frosting?"
"Nobody's making you eat it, Al," he told me. My full name is Alice Kathleen McKinley, but Dad and Lester call me Al.
The second thing that made me grumpy was that I ripped a pocket on my favorite jeans, and it was hanging by one seam.
My mother died when I was in kindergarten, and Dad can't sew very well. He can cook and clean, but it takes him a long time to sew on a button or something. I don't know how to sew either so I have to walk around with a flapping pocket.
And the third thing that happened was that one of my very best friends, Sara, moved away. Rosalind, my other best friend, was as surprised as I was.
"Did you know she was going to move?" I asked Rosalind.
Rosalind shook her head. "Maybe she didn't know either. Maybe she just woke up one morning and her dad said, 'Let's move.'"
We were sitting on the school steps waiting for the bell. It was as though one minute Sara was here, and the next she wasn't. There were other girls we hung around with at school, but we didn't like them as much as we'd liked Sara.
Megan was okay, even though she has a bratty little sister. Jody was sometimes okay and sometimes not. Dawn just did whatever Jody did.
"Bummer!" said Rosalind. "Sara was a lot of fun."
We watched Jody and Dawn staggering around the playground with their arms around each other's shoulders. They were pretending that Jody's right leg was tied to Dawn's left one, and they ended up giggling on the ground.
"We didn't know how much we'd miss Sara until she was gone," I said. Just like I didn't know how much I'd miss my mother until after she died, I guess. I should have enjoyed Sara as much as I could while she was still around. I decided to concentrate on Rosalind. She could make me laugh as much as Sara.
"Say something funny," I told her.
Rosalind wrinkled up her nose. "You can't just tell someone to be funny," she said. "It's only funny when you're not expecting it."
"Okay, I'll think about something else, and when I'm not expecting it, make me laugh," I said.
We were quiet for a moment.
"Donald Sheavers pulls snot," said Rosalind.
"What?" I cried. "Rosalind, that's not funny, it's gross!"
But she went right on. "You know how it is when you're getting over a cold and the snot gets thick as glue?"
"Rosalind!" I said again.
She wouldn't quit. "I saw him blowing his nose once, and every time he tried to grab the snot, it snapped back in like a rubber band."
"Euuuw!" I said.
Megan came up the walk just then. Everything about Rosalind is round, and everything about Megan is square. She dropped her backpack on the steps and sat down beside us.
"What were you talking about?" she asked.
"Snot," I said, and grinned.
"Oh!" said Megan, covering her ears.
"The rubber band kind that snaps back up your nostrils when you try to pull it out," said Rosalind.
"Stop it!" said Megan.
I laughed. "You did it," I said to Rosalind. "You made me laugh."
"You're welcome," said Rosalind.
When I walked home that afternoon with Donald Sheavers, I tried not to look at him. All I could think about was Donald having a cold. Donald blowing his nose.
We live next door to the Sheaverses, and Donald's mom used to take care of me on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I don't have to go there anymore. And Lester doesn't have to come straight home from high school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays either, to look after me. The good thing about being in fifth grade is that I'm finally old enough to stay at home by myself.
"Cat got your tongue?" Donald asked me as we turned the corner onto our street.
"I miss Sara," I said. "I didn't know they were going to move."
"They got kicked out of their house because they didn't pay their rent," Donald said. "If they hadn't moved quick, the sheriff would have put all their stuff out on the sidewalk."
I stopped dead still. "How do you know?"
"Mom heard some women talking about it at the beauty shop," he said.
Mrs. Sheavers works part-time at a hair salon, so she hears all kinds of stuff. But I sure didn't want to hear this.
"That's a lie, Donald," I said. "They wouldn't stop paying their rent."
"If they didn't have any money, they would," said Donald.
"But where would they go? If they don't have any money, where will they live?"
Donald shrugged. "In a tent, probably. Or maybe they just sleep in their car."
When Dad came home, I helped him make dinner. I stirred the tomato sauce while he boiled the spaghetti. My dad looks like a big teddy bear. He has thick hair at the sides of his head, not so much on top. It's a little gray above the ears, and the skin at the corners of his eyes crinkles when he smiles.
He was humming to himself as we cooked, but I was thinking about Sara. There were a lot of kids in her family. I tried to imagine them all living in a tent. Living in a car! I tried to imagine us living in our car. Dad sleeping on the front seat, maybe, and Lester stretched out in back.
When Lester got home and we finally sat down at the table, I said, "Dad, would you ever just wake me up some morning and say, 'Alice, let's move'?"
Dad paused with a forkful of spaghetti halfway to his mouth.
"Not unless he'd just robbed a bank or something," said Lester.
I toyed with my salad, turning a pickled beet over and over. "If we ever got so poor we had to live in our car, would I have to sleep on the floor?" I asked.
"Naw, we'd probably stick you under the hood, Al. Stuff you down between the engine and the radiator," said Lester.
"So who's moving and who's poor?" asked Dad.
"Sara," I said. "They had to leave because they couldn't pay their rent. Donald thinks maybe they're living in a tent or even their car."
"Well, I hope not!" said Dad. "There are places they can go for help, though."
But why hadn't Sara asked me for help? I wondered. I would have given her all my money. I would have even gone around and collected money from neighbors, just so Sara could keep coming to our school.
• *
I lay in bed that night thinking about her. About the way at first nobody liked the skinny girl who chewed with her mouth open and never washed her hair.
Then Rosalind and I invited her for a sleepover at my house, and we called it a shampoo party. We all washed our hair and brushed Sara's to show her how great it looked when it was clean, and we pretended we were rich ladies having tea at the Plaza, chewing our dainty sandwiches with our lips closed.
I wanted her back so I could tell her how funny she was, how smart she was, how many times she had made me laugh. Like the time I took a picture of her with coat hangers draped over her ears. And then she put two big buttons over her eyes and scrunched up her face to hold them there. I wanted her to know I loved her stories. Sara made up the scariest stories! Especially the one about a girl's mother who turns into a praying mantis and her arms drop off and she gets this long bony face with huge eyes and jaws! I wanted to tell her how much fun I'd had at her house once, playing in big boxes out in the yard and helping myself to whatever I wanted in the refrigerator for lunch.
Maybe Rosalind and I could go looking for her. If she was in a tent, maybe we'd find it. If she was sleeping in her family's car, maybe we'd see her there. I felt my mattress jiggle as Oatmeal, my gray and white cat, jumped up on my bed to sleep with me. I reached out and scratched her behind the ears in the darkness. She licked my hand, but she didn't purr. I didn't feel like purring either.

I have a series of Python tuples representing coordinates:
tuples = [(1,1), (0,1), (1,0), (0,0), (2,1)]
I want to create the following list:
l = []
for t in tuples:
l[ t[0] ][ t[1] ] = something
I get an IndexError: list index out of range.
My background is in PHP and I expected that in Python you can create lists that start with index > 0, i.e. make gaps and then fill them up, but it seems you can't.
The idea is to have the lists sorted afterwards. I know I can do this with a dictionary, but as far as I know dictionaries cannot be sorted by keys. Update: I now know they can - see the accepted solution.
Edit: What I want to do is to create a 2D array that will represent the matrix described with the tuple coordinates, then iterate it in order. If I use a dictionary, i have no guarantee that iterating over the keys will be in order -> (0,0) (0,1) (0,2) (1,0) (1,1) (1,2) (2,0) (2,1) (2,2)
Can anyone help?

Students and staff at Florida State University are teaming up with a local group to make a part of Tallahassee a little more beautiful.
FSU's College of Social Work along with the Director of the Homeless Shelter on West Tennessee Street teamed up to plant a memorial garden at the shelter.
It has been neglected for the last two years, so they decided to revitalize it.
FSU Associate Professor Dr. Tomi Gomory believes the community involvement with the homeless in Tallahassee is remarkable.
"I've been involved with homeless services for around 30 years. For me, it's an incredible pleasure to see the cooperative effort of the entire community," said Dr. Gomory.
The garden is dedicated to Dr. Wendy Crook who was involved with homeless issues for many years. She passed away several years ago because of an illness. Gomory hopes to have the shelter residents get involved with maintaining the garden with support from the College of Social Work.

about TEACH?
Here is what TEACH families have to say about TEACH ...
"We entered TEACH not even knowing what character qualities were, just that we knew God wanted us to work on them. The TEACH character forms have been a blessing! I also appreciate TEACH's standards regarding dress, moral and spiritual growth! Keep up the good work!" DK
"TEACH continues to challenge us to the standard of excellence by regular accountability and rich feeding. Graduation was a blessing to our family and graduating senior. We are thankful for this fine accrediting group. TEACH is a hidden blessing. I'd like it to be made more visible and marketed. Many more people need what you have to offer but they don't know they need it yet." CM, St. Paul, MN
"TEACH has helped our student accomplish more than they thought possible. It motivates them to be more self-disciplined." MK, Minneapolis, MN
"TEACH has given me exactly what I was looking for, someone to look over my shoulder and make sure I am covering my son's needs. Your scheduling book is a wonderful tool. Because of the initial Orientation and Father's Meeting, my husband blesses my son and I each morning and it sets the day off on such an encouraging note!" TS, Prior Lake, MN
"Thank you for the Presidential Awards certificates and the organizing of all the field trips and special events, especially the ski trips and the retreat to Storybook Lodge. Thank you for the high standards TEACH promotes for Christ's honor and glory" EW, Minneapolis, MN
"The most important reason we joined and stay with TEACH is for the spiritual inspiration and the academic accountability. I think I would have quit home schooling a long time ago if TEACH hadn't provided reasons why home education is so important in today's society." MF, Champlin, MN
"We have a tendency to be laid back so TEACH has given us the motivation we need to do a good job. Our older (graduate) children have all thanked us for being a part of TEACH. They know it made a "good" difference in their lives." WG, Blaine, MN
"Thank you for establishing a good reputation. As soon as our superintendents see that we are with TEACH (we've lived in 3 different districts) they have no further questions. You have freed us up to concentrate on what we need to teach our children so we don't have to convince the local superintendent, nor our family, friends and relatives that we are doing a good job." DB, Minneapolis, MN

Alongside news that The Broad's completion date has been pushed back to 2015, rather than this fall, Diller Scofidio + Renfro has unveiled a new collaboration with landscape architect Walter Hood that will transform the mid-block parcel adjacent to the Grand Avenue museum into a pedestrian-friendly landscaped plaza and restaurant. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the new square will establish an important link to the neighboring school and apartment, as well as the future 2020 Regional Connector subway stop. The 24,000 square foot parcel will be enhanced by100-year-old olive trees transplanted from Northern California. Watch a video about the design after the break, and find more information here.

In "Her," A Hopeful Vision for LA's Future
In his review of Spike Jonze's movie "Her", LA Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne explains a rather comforting aspect of the movie: instead of the dystopia that usually characterizes films set in the future, "Her" is set in a future version of LA which is more dense, has better public transport (with a subway map with a story all of its own) and has managed to overcome its dependence on the car. No wonder this film has touched a chord with architects and urban designers. Read the full review here.

Gehry's Grand Avenue Project Wins LA County Supervisors' Approval
After being rejected for appearing too "boxy" and not appealing enough to pedestrians, Related Companies' revamped Grand Avenue vision has finally won unanimous approval from county supervisors. The $750-million plan, which was abruptly halted back in September when Gensler's toned-down version was deemed greatly "disappointing" by the city, will now move forward with a more playful (and pricey) design by the project's original architect, Frank Gehry.
City in a City: a Decade of Urban Thinking by Steven Holl Architects Exhibition
The MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House in Los Angeles presents City in a City: a Decade of Urban Thinking by Steven Holl Architects. The exhibition opens with a reception and panel discussion on Wednesday, January 29, and Steven Holl will give a public lecture on Thursday evening, January 30. The exhibition runs through March 9, 2014.
This new exhibition of the work of Steven Holl Architects presents six urban projects in China, designed with particular focus on shaping public space, natural green strategies, hybrid programs, structure and light. Included are three built works: Linked Hybrid in Beijing, Vanke Center/Horizontal Skyscraper in Shenzhen, and Sliced Porosity Block in Chengdu, as well as three yet to be built works: Porosity Plan in Dongguan, Eco-City in Tianjin, and the Qingdao Culture and Art Center. Concept watercolors of each building will be on view along with project models and construction documents. Also featured are short videos of the built works. The exhibition is arranged chronologically from 2002-2013 through the rooms of the Schindler House, making physical the journey through a decade of thinking.

The Indicator: On the Road Again
Architectural street gang and provocateurs, On the Road, named (I would like to think anyway) for Jack Kerouac's novel of same name, and let's just say that is the origin (since I happen to like that book), and the decentralized dérives of this Los Angeles crew remind me of Jack's edit-as-you-go-or-do-not-edit-as-it-may-be writing style, if he even had a "style" (which is questionable), are at it again, or were just last month for their program, "West of LaBrea / 20131117 / 10-4pm" in which these rebellious, anti-establishment "architects" (some may not be licensed and therefore cannot actually go by the official title according to legal precedents in this here United States of America but you all know what I mean wink wink) once again find themselves out in the streets bombing the architectural establishment, which by the way is critical for the history of Los Angeles architecture, and by doing so have once again reminded us that architecture can be about play and a healthy dose of transgression, though no laws were broken during the making of #OtR3, as it is being called, that I can tell....
Shortlist for West Hollywood Park Project Announced
In a city known for its sprawl, things are about to get a lot greener. The City of West Hollywood recently unveiled the three finalists for the West Hollywood Park Project, including entries from LPA (with Rios Clementi Hale), Frederick Fisher and Partners (with CMG) and Langdon Wilson.
The park will cover over 5 acres of (soon to be) green space in the middle of Los Angeles, although at a slight cost. A number of existing buildings will be demolished to make way for the park, including a library, office park, and swimming pool complex. New structures will likely include a recreation and community centre, as well as various playground facilities scattered around the park.
Design: A Long Term Preventative Medicine
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and MIT's Center for Advanced Urbanism has produced a new report examining urban health in eight of the USA's largest cities, which has been translated into a collection of meaningful findings for architects, designers, and urban planners. With more than half of the world's population living in urban areas - a statistic which is projected to grow to 70% by 2050 - the report hinges around the theory that "massive urbanization can negatively affect human and environmental health in unique ways" and that, in many cases, these affects can be addressed by architects and designers by the way we create within and build upon our cities.

Frank Gehry: "I'm Not a Starchitect"
For Peter Aspden's first encounter with the architect of the Guggenheim in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, Frank Gehry did not "exude sweetness." "You are not going to call me a [...] 'star-chitect'? I hate that." In a candid interview with the Financial Times, Gehry discusses the problem of being branded for beginning the Bilbao Effect in spite of the fact that he insists that "you can't escape your signature." Gehry talks at length about Facebook's latest headquarters and, in particular, his relationship with his client, Mark Zuckerberg. Read the full interview here.

Frank Gehry to Submit Grand Avenue Vision to L.A. City Officials
After reviewing proposals from a selection of other firms, Related Companies has chosen to move forward with Frank Gehry's Grand Avenue vision for Los Angeles. The design, which abandons the fluid forms of Gehry's original scheme, has been described by critic Christopher Hawthorne as "significantly more exuberant and suggestive of L.A. culture" than Gensler and Robert A.M. Stern Architects' recently rejected proposal.

Architects Tackle LA's Water Scarcity
Water scarcity is a profound challenge for designers of the built environment. Beyond looking for water sources and creating sustainable ecosystems, how can we begin to create cities and buildings that will help us to celebrate and mitigate hydro-logical concerns? Hadley and Peter Arnold, co-directors of the Arid Land Institute (ALI) at Woodbury University, have decided to tackle this problem around Los Angeles. With the support of the World Water Forum and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, they recently developed a high-resolution geospatial model to strategically identify and quantify the potential for improving storm water capture within urban areas.
How Would You Design Grand Avenue?
"Will Grand Avenue finally turn around? Most likely not until they make it a two-way, add more trees, bike lanes, and pedestrian amenities. Buildings alone can't do it, no matter how daring, novel (or expensive) the architecture." -- Guy Horton, The Indicator, "Ten Years Later, Has the Disney Concert Hall Made a Difference?"
The latest controversy surrounding the Grand Avenue re-design, the long-awaited project to develop the stretch of land east of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, is the re-instatement of Frank Gehry, a move which occurred after the city of LA rejected plans from mega-developers Related Cos. (designed by Gensler in collaboration with Robert A.M. Stern) for being "overly commercial."
Of course, while the Related Cos. plans may have failed to wow the city, the decision to bring Gehry back to the project hasn't exactly been embraced either. A must-see article in Zócalo Public Square asks four urban planning experts, "what would you do with Grand Avenue?" In his latest ArchDaily column, Guy Horton offers his opinion: any re-design must rely on activating life on the street-level, rather than on one architectural solution. Well, ArchDaily readers, now we'd like to know your thoughts on the matter.

in response to capn Earl
Do you still have your old system, Aperture 1.5.6, and the Aperture 1.5.6 version of your library?
Then you might try to rebuild the Aperture library, before you try to upgrade it to Aperture 3. This is recommended in the Aperture 3.4.3 release notes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518, see the paragraph "Additional Information" at the end:
If you are upgrading your Aperture library from an earlier version of Aperture, here are some guidelines to assist you in a successful move to Aperture 3:
- Before upgrading, it is recommended (though not required) that you perform a rebuild of your Aperture library. To rebuild an Aperture library, hold down the Option and Command keys while opening your library in Aperture 1.5 or 2, then click the Rebuild Now button.
- Aperture temporarily uses extra space on your hard drive during the upgrade process. This is for the purpose of backing up critical library info and insuring the integrity of your data during upgrade. If you don't have adequate space on your hard drive to accommodate the upgrade, Aperture will display a warning dialog. You may need to move your library to a different hard drive with more space in order to upgrade it, and then move it back to the original drive when the upgrade is complete. Any space used by Aperture during the upgrade is released and made available to you again once the upgrade has finished.
Is Aperture still processing? If your library is large, this process may take a very long time.
It has attempted over 2 days to rebuild the old library and while it finishes the task, no pictures and associated data are available. The size of the new library is twice that of the old one, but again, nothing is available. Any ideas?
How large is your library? Also from the release notes:
Keep in mind that fully upgrading a very large library is a one-time process that can take a long time; the process may take many hours or even overnight, depending on the size of the library. Once the initial database upgrade is complete, you can begin working with your Aperture library. However, post-upgrade processing will continue in the background for some time, as face detection and preview generation are performed. (A progress indicator and the word "Processing" will appear in the status line of the Viewer or Browser to indicate these operations are underway.) While you can work with Aperture while these operations are performed, you may experience temporary slow-downs. Optimal performance will return when all post-upgrade processing is complete.

in response to léonie
Well it took several trys but it finally worked - thanks Leonie! I can't be sure what the finally issue was but your reference to rebuilding in 1.5.6 I think was key. After that, version 3 still did not want to work using my NAS disk. When I copied the library to my iMac it completed it's own rebuild.
Thanks much!

You are welcome.
After that, version 3 still did not want to work using my NAS disk.
Yes, Aperture needs a drive formatted MacOS X Extended. Thanks for letting us know that it is now working.

fantastic- but be aware
This review is from: Panasonic 46" 1080p 600Hz (Sub-field Drive) Plasma HDTV TC-P46ST30
Pros: I got this 46" beast for $6## during new years sale. Unbelievable value. Once you turn it on, it will look dark- go to menu and set it to VIVID, that's the good stuff. This TV is everything you are hoping for in a plasma BUT READ THE CONS
Cons: Models made before August of 2011 have a defect called flucutating brightness- google ST30 fluctuating brightness or look on youtube. There are four numbers in the serial that you can check to see if your TV is affected.
Other Thoughts: Fantastic TV, perfectly fills out my large living area

Very hard on eyes
This review is from: Panasonic 46" 1080p 600Hz (Sub-field Drive) Plasma HDTV TC-P46ST30
Pros: Screen is very sharp. Colors are comparable to other Panasonic plasma units. Blacks are very deep. No ghosting or trails when a bright object moves over a dark background. Screen coating is very good at keeping room reflections to a minimum. On-screen setup and menu is generally easy to use. Remote is sturdy and includes a backlight button for night use. Supports both Ethernet and dual-band 802.11n networking. Switching from one digital channel to another is very quick.
Cons: 1) Screen refresh rate [in 2D mode] is only 60Hz, which causes significant eye strain and headaches. 2) Motion smoother often breaks for 1-2 seconds after scene changes in some movies, even when set to "high" mode. 3) Picture brightness seems to "jump" 1-2 seconds after a scene change from very light to very dark. 4) Advanced internet content menu is clunky when using remote. 5) No analog audio out; SPDIF is optical only. 6) No S-Video input.
Other Thoughts: Compared to my older Panasonic plasma displays, this unit has a sharper picture and improved OSD. However, the horizontal refresh rate is horrible; it is like an old cheap VGA monitor. I cannot watch the screen for more than an hour without a raging headache. The frame interpolation ("motion smoother") works so inconsistently that I ended up disabling it. I'm also disappointed that the single legacy video input was composite-only; there is no S-Video input (I had to use my AV receiver to convert S-Video to YPbPr Component). I was also annoyed that the unit only has no coaxial SPDIF outputs; optical SPDIF digital connections are less common (or fewer in number) on many AV receivers. I have not tried the 3D functionality as I have no 3D content.

Amazig TV & Newegg
This review is from: Panasonic 46" 1080p 600Hz (Sub-field Drive) Plasma HDTV TC-P46ST30
Pros: At this price $813.30 delivered this is absolutely the best price for this excellent HDTV that is available ANYWHERE. I had searched all of the retail outlets initially as I was a bit concerned with shipping damage but BB-FYS-VID Only etc were all not able or willing to either order it (kept repeating that 46" is not a size in demand and worst of them all BB wanted to charge me a premium price plus a penalty and delivery fees of $180.00 to ship the item to me directly (would not take into a store thereby eliminating the freight) and were so arrogant that I am done with them forever. The specs on this TV even at regular price of $859.00 make it one of best ever for the dollar. The Infinite black panel is a huge improvement over the standard panel, is DLNA ready, 3D is nice if I ever use it and the overall quality of the picture with the Infinite Black panel removed the last objection I had to plasma. Game motion at the store was hugely improved from my 8 year old Pana Plasma.
Cons: The "only" possible is to include a dedicated computer hookup but as smarter folks have told me that is no longer a necessity as long as I use HDMI from my puter to the TV.
Other Thoughts: Frankly had started to lose a bit of confidence in Newegg as theyhav grown especially due to the adoption of marketing ploys that seem similar to Tiger and other 2nd rate sites but I suppose was inevitable. Shipping costs also seem to have risen dramatically for many items. Overall I still rate Newegg as my #1 choice by far to order materials from.

Excellent value
This review is from: Panasonic 46" 1080p 600Hz (Sub-field Drive) Plasma HDTV TC-P46ST30
Pros: picture quality, adjustments, internet
Cons: first one that was received was damaged, no 3d glasses included
Other Thoughts: After contacting Newegg because the first one that was received was damaged, Newegg worked quickly to resolve the problem. When I received the replacement, the tv was easy to set up. You will have to adjust the brightness and color out of the box, as the standard settings are very dark. After the adjustments, the picture looks phenominal. It is very easy to use, the internet connectivity is a breeze, and there are plenty of hookups. I am very happy with this tv.

Yes! My bench finally budged, and then some.
Yes! My bench finally budged, and then some.
If you liked my post, you'll probably like my weight lifting information site too. Check it out, Slime!
My goal was 300/400/500 and to gain 20 pounds from 220 to 240 starting last Feb
I injured my lower back within the first couple of months so I was sidelined for a good 3-4 months.
I am now back and I am on my 3rd cycle of 5/3/1 and with 2 months left, I still think this goal is attainable. I am quite sure I already have the 300 bench as my input weight for 5/3/1 is now 305 and I have been consistently hitting doubles on the 1 rep week. The deadlift, I know for SURE I can pull it. The squat is the one that will be the deal breaker for me. Before I injured myself, I got 355x5...the best I have done since then was 355x1 3 weeks ago. My weight has also gone from 220 to 233-235.
Last edited by mchicia1; 11-04-2010 at 10:24 AM.
nowhere even close, but that was because of a nagging 6 month long upper back muscle i pulled , then i somehow managed to pull a muscle of the left and right side of my groin, then to end it with tweaking the otherside of my back by just moving my arm while i was driving the other day. hopefully next year wont be so random injury heavy.
I wanted to hit 300 on bench, and 500 on squats and deads, I got 325 on bench a month ago and have done 475 on squats and 455 on deads. Yesterday I tripled at 415, 425, then 435 on squat then did 10 at 315. I feel pretty confident I will get to 500. I switched to sumo about a month ago on deads, and did 2x6 @ 375, 8 @ 395 last week so I don't quite think I am there on deads yet. But I could be there come January 1st...
Most people pray for a lighter load in life...ever thought of praying for a stronger back?
Goals as of 2/08/11 (current) goal:
Squat: (505) 535, Deadlift: (475) 500, Bench: (325) 350 Total: 1305 (1385)
BW: 225 as of 02/01/2011 Goal: 205 by May 1, 2011
I started lifting again in January, so I didn't have too many specific goals for the year.
My big goal was to get my weight down to 250 by the end of the year. I started at 295 in January and I'm at 255 as of my last official weigh-in. I'm actually trying to reach this goal by Thanksgiving but I shouldn't have an issue reaching the goal by the end of the year.
My major goal in lifting for the year was to hit 1000 RAW in the Big 3 lifts. I reached that goal and then some (1112.5) at the end of July.

I also posted this on the Food Allergies board, but wondered if any of you ladies had thought about this at all--
I just enrolled in a prenatal progam through my health insurance, of which one of the benefits is free prenatal vitamins. They arrived in the mail today, and I'm wondering whether I should use them or get my own. For one thing, the contain fish ingredients (I'm vegetarian), so I'm not sure how I feel about that. But more concerning to me is that several food dyes are listed on the ingredients, Red Lake 40 and a yellow dye being two of them. I've heard that people can have allergies to both the red and yellow dyes, and that behavioral problems in some children have been linked to red dye.
Would you take these vitamins? I'm not concerned about an allergy to the dyes in myself, but wonder if ingesting them in my vitamin every day could somehow lead to the baby developing dye related allergies or behavioral issues.
Any thoughts?

They are members of the Oakville Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, and they convene at their local Tim Hortons after practice on Monday nights to share doughnuts and coffee. Sometimes, awesomely, they burst into song. Prepare to feel happy, and perhaps crave a cinnamon-sugar doughnut or two.
