Staff Sergeants earn their Bachelor's Degrees
December 11, 2013
ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. -- She started her journey in 1976 wanting to play in an orchestra and his began with a baseball scholarship in 1998. Though their journeys began differently, both came to fruition recently, as they completed their bachelor's degrees.
Army Contracting Command-Rock Island contract specialists Staff Sgts. Patricia L. Faris and James W. Boutchyard said they are thrilled to have received their degrees, especially given the length of time it took to obtain them.
Faris received her degree in liberal arts with a focus on psychology from Excelsior College's online program on Sept. 27. When she started in 1976, her major was in music at Mars Hill College in North Carolina, but other pursuits took her away from completing this degree.
"I played the flute and piccolo in the orchestra at the Asheville North Carolina Community Theater for a while, and I even got paid so I guess you could say I was a professional," said Faris.
Faris said her biggest challenge was that she never really knew what she wanted to be.
"I studied music, accounting, got my paralegal certification in California, and finally stumbled on psychology and loved it," said Faris. "When I finally found my focus, I also found that I was very close to getting my degree."
Boutchyard started in 1998 at South Georgia College, Douglas, Ga., on a baseball scholarship and transferred to the University of Maryland where he played during the 1999-2000 season. After that, he took a break from baseball and college to pursue a career as a kitchen design and remodeling contractor.
In May 2008, Boutchyard enlisted in the Army and soon enrolled at the University of Phoenix. He continued his class work through a move to Fort Carson, Colo., and a February 2011 deployment to Iraq.
"It was a challenge for me to be able to manage the high operating tempo at work and school at the same time," said Boutchyard. "However I was successful and I returned to Fort Carson having almost completed my degree."
Required Army leadership development courses drew him away from working on his bachelor's degree. As he was completing these leadership courses, he was accepted to the 51C Acquisitions, Logistics, and Technology Non-Commissioned Officer reclassification program.
Boutchyard said he was able to juggle course work for his bachelor's degree concurrent to attending the Army Acquisition Foundation Course and Army Basic Contracting Course. He completed the classes for his bachelor's degree shortly after reporting to ACC-RI in spring 2013, and graduated from University of Phoenix with a Bachelor of Science in Management on July 20.
Both Faris and Boutchyard said they were relieved to have their degrees and they want to work on their master's degrees.
"My next dream is to work as a veteran's advocate. I have found a school in New York that offers a veteran's advocacy certification program that is embedded in its master's program," said Faris.
Boutchyard said he plans on starting his master's degree in 2014.
"I still haven't picked out the program or school yet, but I will continue to push forward and hopefully finish that before I leave Rock Island," said Boutchyard.

About This Issue
Our goal is to keep stem cell research funding in Maryland at the Governor's budgeted amount of $10.4 million.
The National MS Society supports stem cell research funding in accordance with federal, state and local laws to find new ways to slow, prevent, and repair the effects of MS. Maryland is a national leader in biomedical research. The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund (MSCRF) was established in 2006. During its first five years, the MSCRF has funded a total of 218 research project at a cost of $78.8 million. Funding has targeted 35 diseases and conditions. MS is one of those diseases. According to the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund, the MSCRF has produced an estimated $75 million in labor income and over $125 million in business sales and estimates that it has created an estimated 1,000 high-level jobs that attract and retain clinicians and researchers to the State. The 2009 World Stem Cell Summit, held in Baltimore, was the largest stem cell meeting in the United States that year, attracting 1200 participants from 40 states and 27 countries.

Supernatural Fangirls
How the cult sci-fi show turned two academics into experts on fandom—and crazy stalkers.
Excerpted from Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls, by Katherine Larsen and Lynn S. Zubernis, out now from University of Iowa Press.
How did two academics researching the culture and politics of fandom wind up getting escorted off the set of a TV show by no-nonsense security guards? It was a long road from our university offices to that Vancouver hospital parking lot. Neither of us ever set out to study fandom. Neither of us even knew that a field called "fan studies" existed. We're both professors, but our research interests weren't exactly in pop culture. Kathy's background is in British literature—old British literature. Lynn is a psychologist whose research reflected her experience as a clinician.
Everything changed when we fell in love with Supernatural, a sci-fi television show about two demon-hunting brothers whose family business is "saving people and hunting things." We arranged our lives around air dates of new episodes (and then downloaded them the next day so we'd have something to tide us over until the next episode aired). We spent every spare moment reading fan fiction, downloading photos, watching fan videos, and immersing ourselves in every aspect of fandom. We emptied our wallets to buy DVD sets and collectibles and tickets to fan conventions. When we were together, we babbled in our secret fan language, to the consternation of family members who clearly thought we had lost it.
There were times when we wondered if they were right. Some people buy sports cars when they're having a midlife crisis. Some people have affairs. Some start drinking. We fell for a television show. Fandom, for both of us, had been a refuge in the past in times of crisis—from the raging hormones and constant doubts of adolescence to the terrors of grad school statistics. It had provided a welcome respite during some rocky patches in both our lives, and now, as midlife loomed, we were both in need of a refuge once again, as well as a place to figure ourselves out for the second time. Who were we now, after defining ourselves as partners and mothers and professionals? What did we like, want, need, desire? What made us laugh, tugged at our heartstrings, turned us on?
Turns out we needed Supernatural.
Why Supernatural? Solid writing, an intricate mythology, scary monsters both literal and metaphorical. A story of love, loyalty, and family. An emotionally intense relationship between the main characters that generates enough chemistry to power a small city. Two very hot actors. Wasn't that enough?
It probably would have been, but there was more. We could relate to the Winchester brothers. Both are damaged heroes who have put their own needs aside to save others. They feel deeply but show little. Putting our own needs aside and swallowing emotions was something we had both done too—for partners, children, career. Add to this the Winchesters' appeal to anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite "fit in" with the rest of the world. Maybe your imagination takes you places that nobody else goes. Maybe you don't fall in line with society's expectations of what it means to be a man or a woman, or you've experienced difficulties that set you apart. Maybe you just happen to have the specifications of the USS Enterprise memorized, or can rattle off every detail of the last episode of Doctor Who. Sam and Dean Winchester don't fit in either. They're outsiders—but they're also heroes. And they're what we all recognize as family.
Rationally, we could certainly account for the appeal of Supernatural. But falling into fandom is like falling in love, and we weren't necessarily operating rationally. These decisions—if they can even be called decisions—are made with the gut (or lower), not with the head. We were simply hooked.
We were also a little ashamed. By most people's reckoning, we were spending far too much time, effort, and money on what was a frivolous and ridiculous pursuit. And we were puzzled. Why had this show become so important to us? In response, we did what came naturally—we turned our obsession into a research project. Surely people would stop objecting if we could demonstrate our serious academic interest in fandom (as opposed to our interest in Jared Padalecki's biceps or Jensen Ackles' impossibly green eyes).

Post here when you beat a game. I mean it!
Keep it spoiler-free. If you want to discuss details of a game then mark it CLEARLY, please.
I finished a 100% scan run in Metroid Prime last night. Last up: finishing my hard game which was left idle at 77% (right before the Omega Pirate). shivers
I'm making a Metroid Prime hard run right now too! I still haven't made a 100% run, I'll probably combine them. I can't do 100% scans though as I've recently found that Flaagra is two scans. Stupid.
I just got the Ice Beam and am around 30%.
Although I did just beat Zero Mission a second time on hard. Love them Metroids!
I stayed up till 3 on Tuesday beating the last story mode level in Culdcept. Now I'm working on the medals :D
I finished Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy for the GameCube this week. Review forthcoming.
Right now I'm working through Steel Battalion...christ, I really suck at the game.
Mike B.
I finally beat Red Faction after placing it on the back burner for the past year. Better polished games make the cutscenes look horrendous, but a very fun FPS nevertheless. And a very addictive multiplayer option as well.
I was actually going to suggest a 2004 game completion thread here. Keep it updated!
Project Gotham Racing 2
Tenchu: Return From Darkness
Alter Echo
Maximo Vs. Army of Zin
Monopoly Tycoon
Now Playing
Colin McRae Rally 4 - Xbox (3 of 6 Championships won)
NFL Street - PS2 (3 of 8 divisions won)
Last two games that I beat were Tony Hawk's Underground and Halo (again!).
I've already got reviews up for them, too... :p
I almost beat Brute Force and gave up on it. It was seriously going nowhere. I'll have a review of that one up pretty soon on my website.
I'm currently working on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but I might just say kcuf it and move on without even a review of that one; it's just kinda lame, and actually pretty tough. Tetris Worlds, though, now I don't quite see where the problems with that game are... :D
If people remember to BUMP this every once in awhile, I'll remember to post when I beat a game!
I just completed Skies Of Arcadia Legends for GameCube. I'm going to start playing Jak and Daxter for PS2.
Games I plan on finishing 2004:
GameCube -
Prince of Persia
Dead to Rights
Lost Kingdoms
Jedi Knight II
Resident Evil
Jak and Daxter
Grand Theft Auto III
Ratchet and Clank
The Mark of Kri
Metroid Fusion
Golden Sun
Super Mario 2
Dreamcast -
Sonic Adventure
Floigan Brothers
Ms Pac Man: maze madness
Hydro Thunder
How do you beat a racing game?
Yeah, most racing games have a very definite career mode or main racing mode and when you win all of the races and see the credits roll, I consider it beaten. Of course, the beauty of a game like PGR2 or Gran Turismo is that you can always continue playing to improve your time or to try and earn a higher Kudos score or to buy another upgrade for a particular car or whatever. But then again, people "beat" games like Ikaruga and Mars Matrix and surely they can always continue playing to beat their high score. Racing games are the same way, eventually you do everything there is to do and all that's left is to improve on your best times.
Beaten this year (for the first time):
GTA3: Vice City
Metroid Zero Mission
Currently Working on:
Mad Maestro
Soul Calibur 2 (weapon master)
Just finished Panzer Dragoon Saga on hard, now I gotta go back and meet all the goals to unlock the rest of the stuff in Pandora's Box... Well, that or just keep playing until the timer reaches twenty hours!

Even the most brilliant actors will occasionally make bad movies. Scripts change, budgets shrink, directors quit or get canned. For the most part, audiences realize that movies are a collaborative medium and that a bad movie isn't necessarily the fault of the lead actor.

I am an old hand at body cleansing and detox. This doc seems to make everything far too complicated but then, I have been following principles of food combining for 30 something years (a major source of toxic leftovers) and my colon is cleansed about every month or so and yes, I drive a car and so get some of those heavy metals from the air around me. Probably the most important place where I have consistently protected myself is to avoid all fast food, avoid all over the counter cosmetics and sundry drugs for colds, digestive upset, etc. I also do not go to doctors and therefore have not been toxified by their pharmaceuticals. And I have a very strong genetic heritage. S0o, along with good advice, it is important to make wise choices...doctors could direct some of these choices.

About Pastrami / Smoked Corned Beef
I've been reading some stuff on the web about Pastrami and it seems traditionally the Pastrami is Steamed whole for about 3 hours after it is smoked. The famous Deli's in NYC buy their Pastrami already smoked and steam it in the restaurant.
I see that a lot of people smoke their Pastrami to 170 to 180 degrees. Those of you who have done this do you steam the Pastrami after you smoke it ? I was just thinking maybe I should only cook to 165 to 170 Degrees.
I do not know for sure but I think i read the steaming is more of a NY city tradition. I have never been there so I am not sure. I take mine to 180-185 and the broil it w/ swiss cheese. I like mine dry not wet.
Ive made and ate pastrami all my life including making my own pastrami (article and procedures to do so are located on my blog..) I have never steamed my pastrami, about as close as I have come to doing that is letting it get happy in the old crock pot. Usually just smoke it slice it and serve it.
I steam mine for a few minutes before it goes on the sandwich. I do them like Firehouse Subs. Layer some pastrami, squirt a little italian dressing over it, top it off with some provolone. When it gets all hot and gooey, slap it on a toasted bun with mayo and spicy mustard.
I don't steam it. I take it to 170, wrap it in foil and add a little beef broth. Back in the smoker to 195. Slice and serve.
Steve, Katz's, Second Avenue and Sarges "Hold" the meat in a steam locker to keep temp, because they sell so much it really does not stay around that long to break it down to pot roast consistancy. I have never steamed one after cooking it. it is much better reheated in foil the second day however.
I have been making Pastrami for a few years now. This year I tried the corned beef thing. I cut the packer into thirds, flat in half and the point. I soaked that thing for about 48 hours with 5 or 6 water changes until that meat was almost white. After seasoning and smoking it is still too salty for my tastes. I looked at Boss Mans BBQ home page and found his method of making Pastrami is the same one I have used for years. I think it was origonally from a guy named Rick. Anyway, you guys owe it to yourselves to try it at least once. I think if you do, you will leave the corned beef (the first step in the recipe) to the Irish. It makes a far superior product. I sell all I can make for $8.00 a pound.
Steve, I just did two briskets for pastrami in the Chubby.
I cold smoked them for 3 hours at 80 degrees, Ice in the water pan and a hotel pan of ice in the cooking area. Then I cooked them in the convection oven to 180 degrees. Checked it with my grey thermopen :icon_wink
Cooled, then slice on the deli-slicer. It tastes great!
I have never gotten the same texture and tissue breakdown when steaming pastrami at home that I have eaten in deli's. I think that deli's are using steamers which are more like a steam cabinet. Possibly the steam is hotter or can circulate more effeciently...
I have been pressure cooking for 20 minutes following smoking to 150* or so and although not quite like deli steamed, I really like it. The internal temperature will rise into the 180*'s during the pressure finish.
The one I did recently I had some straight off the pit and then also the next day I steamed a couple leftover chunks. I liked the steamed better, it broke down and tenderized the pastrami a bit more.
If you want to do it all in one step I would wrap in foil at the end with a cup of liquid.
You know us fancy book learnin' cooks, always following a recipe.

Pryor unsure if he'll get another chance to start for Raiders
Three and Out: Allen not looking past '13, Pryor's future muddled
Terrelle Pryor's season stats: 10 G, 8 GS, 135-for-253 (58%), 5 TD, 11 INT, 527 rush yards, 2 rush TD. (USA TODAY IMAGES)
Editor's note: Be sure to join Scott Bair's Raiders chat on Tuesday morning at 11:00.
ALAMEDA – Terrelle Pryor would like to be the Raiders starting quarterback again. He's not sure that will happen. Or if he'll be given the chance.
The backup started eight games this season but lost his spot to Matt McGloin in Week 11. Pryor is an accent piece now, and might be again next season.
"I'm not really sure," Pryor said. "I'm just trying to make the best of my situation in practice and to keep learning. … What I need most is experience. I need to get better at things. We all do. I know what I need to get better at. I had a fun time playing eight games. We did some good things in that time, and I'll try and build off of that."
Pryor sits behind McGloin, who has generally played well and has excelled passing from the pocket. If the pecking order holds, McGloin would have priority over him again next season. Pryor has one year left on his rookie contract, and he might formally talk to head coach Dennis Allen about his future with the club. That won't happen before season's end.
"Right now, we're all focused on beating the San Diego Chargers," Pryor said. "They played us tough last time and are playing great football right now. In two weeks we could talk about that, but I think that, right now, I think it would be great for my mindset and the team's mindset to focus on the San Diego Chargers."

Reducing numbers in remedial classes goal for high schools, colleges
Teachers and professors hope identifying points where students struggle, mingling subject matter across the board and better aligning high school and college curriculums could reduce the number of students in remedial classes once they start pursing degrees.
Academic deans at Sierra College believe the path past remedial classes at the college level starts in high school classes. Anne Fleischmann, associate dean of liberal arts at Sierra College, said students at the college take the Accuplacer test to see where their reading, writing and math skills are.
The school also offers supplemental tutoring, a writing center and a bridge course in the summer that allows students to catch up in areas where they might have fallen behind. There is also the first-year experience program that helps students get used to college, as well as the workshops that help students with test anxiety and research and study skills.
Unfortunately, Fleischmann said the only one of those options that helps students before they enter the classroom at Sierra is the summer bridge program. That's why she feels the Early Assessment Program, which tests students during their junior year of high school, is so important.
"Then they still have their senior year to get better," Fleischmann said.
The Early Assessment Program was created in 2004 to assess college readiness in high school students by California State University. The assessment is not required, but is given with the California Standards Test at Placer High School, according to Katie Chamberlin, a counselor at the school.
According to a presentation on the Early Assessment Program, 23 percent of students that go to California State University were ready for college-level English in 2011. Fifteen percent were ready for college-level math.
The 25,000 freshmen who have to take remedial math and English classes also took required college preparatory classes and held a B average in high school, according to the presentation.
The Early Assessment Program includes an essay test and extra English and math questions with the California Standards Test. Students who score a 1 are exempt from remedial classes and the Accuplacer test at Sierra College and could have to take an English assessment, Calculus Readiness Test or Intermediate Algebra Diagnostic Test if they choose to go to California State University.
Students who score a 2 on the test are classified as "conditional" and can go through a preparatory math course their senior year to get ready for college-level math classes when they reach Sierra. Students who score a 3 on the test are required to take the Accuplacer test at Sierra and, based on their results, are either placed in remedial math or English or can move on to college-level classes.
Michael Kane, associate dean of math and science at Sierra, said part of the reason for students being placed in remedial classes lies in the amount of time that passes between when they take math in high school and when they are later tested on it.
"Math in many ways resembles a foreign langue; if you don't use it, it goes away," Kane said. "They also don't do very well sometimes because they don't put enough seriousness into the assessment because of all the paperwork and enrollment procedures, they don't understand the consequences of taking it seriously."
He also said getting teachers at both the high school and college level talking about what they're teaching is also important to getting students ready for college.
"The assumption is that your curriculum isn't at an appropriate level, but getting those instructors into one room and showing them that their intermediate algebra class is similar to our intermediate algebra class shows it's not that we're not teaching the right stuff," Kane said.
At Placer High, Chamberlin said some of the senior curriculum has been realigned to provide math and English that can better prepare those students who score a 2 or 3 on the Early Assessment Program.
That has presented challenges as Placer High and every other school prepares to align its curriculum to the Common Core Standards by 2014.
"It's a little more complicated than we had hoped," Chamberlin said. "We're jumping through these hoops, but then it's going to change again."
Kane and Fleischmann both agree that a blending of subjects would help getting students ready for college. That would entail writing being taught across the curriculum and using math in classes where it usually would appear, rather than restricting math to math class and English to English class.
"The real world doesn't work that way. An engineer doesn't just crunch numbers, they have to interact with team members and write reports, but we don't teach that way, unfortunately," Kane said.

Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 6:06 a.m. ET on Real Money on May 15. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money.NEW YORK ( Real Money) --There should have been mergers and acquisitions. That's right, during this whole run-up, there should have been many more deals, more acquisitions to spur growth, or to take market share. We can sit here and wonder why the heck there's been such a dearth of M&A since February. Or we can reach a very logical, inescapable conclusion: Most CEOs were too stupid and pessimistic to take the opportunity to do any buying. Well, here's some real bad news. The time for transformative deals, unless we get a broad-market pullback, has probably passed. Harsh judgment? I don't think so. We spend a heck of a lot of time, much more than we should, about why stocks shouldn't be higher. Think about all of the admonitions we've heard: There's no real revenue growth, so don't pay up. Fed chief Ben Bernanke is about to change his mind; don't pay up. Tax rates are going higher; don't pay up. Sequester's coming; don't pay up. Fiscal cliff's here; don't pay up. Europe's burning; don't pay up. China's faltering; don't pay up. Valuations are stretched; don't pay up. Commodity prices are falling; don't pay up. I mean, the fact that I have sat here and listened to these different objections at every single milestone is a pathetic reminder of how wrong people can be. It's an incredible thing, isn't it, that a good manager like David Tepper can come on CNBC's "Squawk Box" and just be unequivocally bullish and make news for doing so? But most chief executives don't see it that way and didn't see it that way. Instead of looking for bargains when prices were lower, they sat on their hands and bought back their own stock instead of the stocks of others when they had the chance. Most -- but not all. Think of the ones who did. Think of the people who did step up to the plate in this period. First, there's the totally and correctly beloved Warren Buffett, who bought Heinz (HNZ) three months ago at the same price he would have to pay for it today, except he got the whole company. That's right: In retrospect, he stole Heinz, given how high Campbell Soup (CPB), General Mills (GIS), Hershey (HSY) and the like have traded.

There's an embarrassment of riches this summer for fans of comic books, who on any given day can see Batman, Iron Man, Hulk and even Angelina Jolie kicking butt and taking names. But while all these are good (or great) films, none come even remotely close to being half as fun as "Hellboy II: The Golden Army."
Spend any time with director Guillermo del Toro, as MTV News did recently, and it's clear that the joy starts at the top.
Del Toro, who for the next four years will reside in Middle-earth as director of "The Hobbit" and its companion film (check out his answers to fans' questions about those movies), told us what you can find in his tape deck (hint: it rhymes with Marry Banilow), what his plans are for "Hellboy III," how Hellboy would fare in a fight with Batman, why the world would be a better place if everyone believed in magic, and more.
MTV: There's a great conceit at the heart of ["Hellboy II"], that the fantasy creatures have been marginalized. Do you sense that is real? Have we as audiences lost a sense of wonderment?
Guillermo del Toro: Absolutely, 100 percent. We live in a world right now [where] everything not provable, nonlogical, nonlinear, not supported by science or technology, is a childish concern. And we are destroying things that we find intangible. They can be the environment, they can be cultures. We are wiping out entire civilizations. We are wiping out knowledge and lore that comes from ancient civilizations without thinking about it.
MTV: Would the world be a better place, then, if monsters roamed the Earth?
Del Toro: It's not about monsters being real — it's about us allowing them to exist in our imagination and our soul. If you allow the magic, it's not necessarily that you're going to transform water into wine, but you'll certainly transform the boring expectations of everyday life into a spiritual one. I believe in the spiritual, but I am not a religious guy. It's a strange conceit, but it's true. If you allow the magical to live in you, [the world is] a better place.
MTV: What fills you with that sense of wonderment, of awe?
Del Toro: When somebody talks about something eminently natural … like the other day somebody made a joke at the Saturn Awards and he said, "My nephew, who is 6, I ask him, 'What age do you most want to be?' and he said, '7.' And I said, 'Why 7?' and he said, 'Those are the only two numbers I know.' " And I love that! Those things make me feel in awe. Nature awes me.
MTV: To which world does Hellboy belong? The real world or the fantasy world?
Del Toro: That I think will be answered in the third one. The first movie was Hellboy essentially saying, "I'm human. Everything I see from the side I come from I reject." The second movie is him realizing that what he is defending may not all be good. There is a moment in the film in which Hellboy asks, thick-skulled as he is — it kind of dawns on him that it may not be wrong to be a monster. It is a really nice moment for him.
The idea is that we all would love to be accepted by what we consider the norm, and when we are not, it's painful. But I think the third one is about finding out who you need to be accepted by.
MTV: The movie is filled with those little threads, pieces you know will get picked up for part three. Do you already have a story for that film?
Del Toro: The third one is the adult consequence of what he chose in the second movie. The third movie would deal with facing essentially your destiny, if such a thing exists, and making the ultimate decision. The saying goes, "As you turn 40, you turn into your father." That's not good for Hellboy! That's not a good sign for Hellboy! [Laughs.]
MTV: You're committed to "The Hobbit." Do you want to wait at least five years for "Hellboy III"?
Del Toro: If I had to choose between going faster or going slower, I'll go slower. I don't think sequels that are whipped out are the best ones. I love the idea that we took so many years to make this one. If it takes four years to make "Hellboy III," I'm at peace.
MTV: It occurs to me what an embarrassment of riches this summer is.
Del Toro: Yeah, if somebody told you when you were 10 that you were going to have a summer like the last few summers, you would go insane; you would start bouncing off the walls.
MTV: So with that in mind, how would Hellboy fare in a fight against some other summer heroes? Who would win between him and Batman, for instance?
Del Toro: I think Hellboy pretty much has the same qualities as a fighter that I have come to recognize in my own life. I have been involved in a number of fights as a youth in Mexico, and my only advantage was I could take a sh–load of punishment. And when they were in range, I got them. [Laughs.] I think Hellboy's fighting style is essentially that. He puts up with a lot of punishment and then, when they are in reach of the right hand of doom, he goes for it!
MTV: Can I just say, my favorite scene in the movie is when Hellboy is singing Barry Manilow?
Del Toro: The funny thing is, I think everybody is a secret admirer of Barry Manilow. When I was kid I used to be fully into punk — you know, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones — and/or progressive rock — Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Pink Floyd. But secretly, at the end of the day, the cassette that went into my car was "Mandy."
MTV: Are there things you can dream of but can't create?
Del Toro: Not anymore! We can do everything now. Between physical effects, puppets and digital, we can do anything. And by God, we will!

Day 1 Report at IWF
Encouraging news for woodworkers from Opening Day at the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta: Many manufacturers of tools and woodworking accessories debut new products. In spite of the tough economy that's dogged the last couple of years, I saw countless new products, an encouraging sign that not everyone hunkered down during the recession and cut spending to the bone. Here's a few of the best and brightest:
• I told you two months ago about DeWalt's new line of 12-volt lithium-ion cordless drills and drivers. They'll be available this fall. But today DeWalt and Porter-Cable launched new "compact router kits" that are essentially trim routers with fixed and plunge bases. I got a behind-the-scenes look at these routers at DeWalt's headquarters in June, but could not discuss them publicly due to confidentiality agreements. Well, now they're public. The two kits are similar. Both include a 1-1/4 hp trim router motor, fixed base, and plunge base. But DeWalt's motor has a variable-speed motor and LED lights around the collet; Porter-Cable's motor is a single-speed motor and does not have the lights. The DeWalt kit will sell for $199 and the Porter-Cable for $189.

Route 30 set for detour this weekStaff Report | December 16,2013Kevin OConnor / STAFF Photo
A sign on the Brattleboro common warns of a coming detour of nearby Route 30 this Wednesday and Thursday.BRATTLEBORO Route 30 drivers will face a major detour at the roads southeastern starting point this week.
Crews are set to divert traffic onto side streets Wednesday and Thursday as they work to remove two 1,000-foot Interstate 91 bridges overhead.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation is spending $59.5 million (the federal government is paying 90 percent and the state the remaining 10 percent) to replace four bridges between Interstate exits 2 and 3.
Interstate motorists driving north or south through Brattleboro have to slow down with the closing of passing lanes during construction, which is set to continue through the summer of 2016.
Underneath the two largest bridges, Route 30 travelers have found the speed limit reduced to 40 mph, with workers periodically limiting traffic there to a single lane.
Contractors are scheduled to close the road below the spans starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday and reopen it at 8 a.m. Friday.
The state also expects construction to periodically slow or stop traffic on the nearby Upper Dummerston Road, West River hiking and biking trail and parts of the waterway itself.
Workers broke ground on Interstate 91 at Vermonts southern border in 1957 and finished the last link a stretch from St. Johnsbury to the New Hampshire border in 1982. Since then, traffic and road salt have especially taken their toll in Brattleboro, whose highway link is the oldest and most outdated.
Current crews expect to work day and night for the next several months until they completely remove the old bridges.MORE IN This Just In

A new study just published in Environmental Science and Technology by Stanford's Mark Jacobson adds a slight twist to this standard view. Older research has found that local "domes" of high CO2 levels can often form over cities. Jacobson found that these domes can have a serious local impact, such as worsening the effects of local air pollutants like ozone and particulates, which cause respiratory diseases and the like. Jacobson estimates that local CO2 emissions cause anywhere from 300 to 1,000 premature deaths in the United States each year. And presumably the problem's much worse in developing countries.
These conclusions support the Cap-and-Trade approach in our opinion. To the extent we can reduce the CO2 domes over cities, probably during inversions, we can increase the health of human living in those areas.
Mark Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program at Stanford. (Grist, 3/17/10)
AAEA is an environmental organization founded in 1985 that is dedicated to protecting the environment, enhancing human, animal and plant ecologies, promoting the efficient use of natural resources, increasing African American participation in the environmental movement and promoting ownership of energy infrastructure and resources. We resolve environmental problems through the application of practical environmental solutions.

On Wednesday we posted a little item on Mayor Nickels' gun ban and what the current mayoral candidates thought of it. Showing a picture of a gun-toting squirrel; calling gun-owners "nuts"; it was, to say the least, a little kneejerk.
I don't own a gun. I've only fired a rifle a few times in my life. And I'm generally afraid of the ferocity with which some people bind themselves to the second amendment and their weapons. But that doesn't mean I'm not wrong, in this instance, to give automatic support to an idea that may be an attempt by the Mayor to fix a problem that doesn't exist...
Don Ward covered this at length recently but it's worth repeating: Nickels' ban is going to cost the city a lot of money and a lot of time in court on a lawsuit we're eventually going to lose. Whether it's true, as Dave Workman of the Second Amendment Foundation posits, that Nickels the lame-duck is trying to angle his way into a job with Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group he helped create, or not is almost besides the point. The point is that it's not going to do what Nickels says he hopes it will: protect people.
As PostGlobe reported, Nickels' justifications for the ban (beyond the obvious goodwill he hopes to engender by telling people he's keeping guns away from your children) comes down to a a few compelling incidents. Here are a few of those he provided:
- In June, a group of teen boys flashed a gun at several girls outside of the Alki Community Center.
- Last December, a former Franklin High School basketball player was shot in the face outside the Garfield Community Center.
- In 2004, a woman was shot dead at a Red Cross shelter set up in the Miller Community Center on Capitol Hill.
- After a man shot and injured three people at the 2008 Folklife Festival, Nickels directed city departments to evaluate rules, policies and leases related to guns. The suspect in last year's shooting had a concealed weapons permit and a history of mental health problems.
Now I've gone back and read accounts of each incident. To think that a simple sign would have stopped any of them from happening is crazy. Donnie Cheatham gets shot in the face outside of Garfield Community Center. Does he still get shot if, moments before pulling the trigger, Cheatham's shooter sees a sign saying guns aren't allowed on the premises? Of course. If you've already made up your mind that committing a felony is something you're cool with, a highly-visible posting warning you of the consequences of said actions isn't going to stop you. (In fact, it might just encourage you to take a little target practice. Kidding.)
In the case of the Nickels' gun ban, it's easy to focus on the key words -- kids, guns, playgrounds, safety -- and lose sight of the actual costs. This fight is going to take a long time, cost a lot of money and, ultimately, probably not accomplish a thing. As Attorney General Rob McKenna has said all along, the clock doesn't start until Olympia checks in.
As Don Ward first wrote, the cycle of this story is predictable: "Shake 'n Bake. The story is written on Friday. Ignored over the weekend. And forgotten the following week. At least until another press release is sent out." Only now the ban is actually here. So all that worrying over how much money we're going to spend and how much time it will take to settle this...that story no longer belongs to the hypothetical world of the press release. Now we're livin' in it.

Sydney-based ModelCo prides itself in creating products that are fuss-free but high impact—ideal for off-duty beauties (models and non-models, alike). This non-sticky gloss goes on smoothly and gives lips a soft punch of sheer, slightly shimmery color. This slim tube has a built-in mirror so you can reapply on the go.
I loved the color of this lip gloss and it looks amazing layered over almost any lipstick, but also looks nice and natural by itself. However, it's very thick and sticky. While it does keep my lips moisturized, my hair is constantly getting stuck in it and I find the shine doesn't last very long. I like it enough to use up the sample, but not enough to buy another tube.2
I received this Australian lip gloss in my BirchBox a couple of months ago. What a find! Not only does it smell yummy on your lips, but it is long lasting so that you do not need to re-apply often. There is a shine that has me receiving compliments everywhere I go. The color is true to bottle, without being overwhelming. I love this brand and will continue to order as long as they keep selling!5

what kind/size freezer?

We have both and the chest is only used for meat and its a PITA to find anything in it so we are going to get a second upright. Whatever size works best for your family.
silver with gold nips (.)(.)http://community.babycenter.com/post/a40946629/feedback_for_sscsburns
We have a 5cu.ft. chest freezer.
It holds about 2000oz of milk (frozen flat and stored in gallon ziplocs), and it is a pain to get to the older milk, since it is at the bottom. Its been great other than that.
If you plan on pumping longterm I would suggest slightly bigger, and upright, if you can afford it.
I have a 5 cubic foot chest freezer. We bought it long before even thinking about a baby because it fit in the space we had and they are about the cheapest option for an extra freezer. It is a pain to get to the stuff in the very bottom. I have my bags frozen flat and in gallon ziplocs. I labeled the ziplocs with the dates and total oz inside. I haven't tried to pull any out yet, but I'm pushing 500oz and it only takes up the small bottom space that's hard to get to, the rest is food. I put the basket above it so all I have to do is move the basket and I can get to my milk. I also keep a notepad that has the dates and oz for the bags. I hope all this helps find the oldest when I'm ready to start cycling. Now that I have 2 layers next time I rearrange I'll put the newer at the bottom so the oldest is on top. I don't think it will be a problem since I'm not a huge producer and don't have that much in the freezer, though I think mine is a lot and am proud of it. I think a lot of the decision falls on how much milk you'll have to freeze and what space you have to put the freezer in. I have access to my Grandma's identical freezer, but doubt I'll need to use it.
I think our freezer is a 20 foot upright. We love it, and it is full of milk. It holds about 7000 ounces. I also have a 12 foot chest freezer that holds about 4000 ounces. I freeze 10 ounces flat in each Honeysuckle bag, then put six bags in a gallon ziplock and label it with the dates.

Obama's Smart Pick for Cyber Czar: Howard Schmidt
the Monitor's Board, The Christian Science Monitor
The president's cyber czar has the right credentials for this important job, but he'll need Obama's visible backing to do it.
After far too long, President Obama finally appointed a
"cyberczar" on Tuesday. Howard Schmidt has the credentials to
coordinate the government's defense against digital sabotage. Will
he also have the authority?
Appropriately, his experience is as deep as the cyberthreat is wide.
Mr. Schmidt has been involved with cybersecurity in government (the
George W. Bush administration), in the private sector (at eBay and
Microsoft), in law enforcement (at the FBI), and internationally
(heading up a nonprofit dedicated to this problem). He has both
technical and policy know-how.
He also served in the military, which this month confirmed that
Iraqi insurgents learned to intercept video feeds from unmanned
drones. (The signals have since been secured.)
Schmidt's job is immense - to orchestrate the military and
civilian branches of the federal government as they try to ward off
cyberattacks from hackers, terrorists, governments, criminals, and
others. That translates, for instance, into preventing the disabling
of electric, transportation, financial, and other critical networks.
Cyberattacks on public and private digital systems in the US are
increasing. In 2006, the Pentagon counted 6 million attempted
intrusions on its computers; last year, it was 360 million. US
businesses have also lost billions of dollars in intellectual
property to hackers.
In November, the Government Accountability Office found a 200
percent increase in reports of cybersecurity "incidents" at
federal agencies between 2006 and 2008. The GAO warned of
"significant weaknesses" and "pervasive vulnerabilities" at
the agencies.
While Americans may picture Afghanistan when they think of war,
cyberattacks on the US occur daily. On Tuesday, the Wall Street
Journal reported that the FBI is investigating a hacking into
Citigroup Inc. that resulted in the theft of tens of millions of
dollars - supposedly by Russian criminals. (Citigroup disputed the
story, and said no one had lost any money. …

so all of sudden he does not want to go to that restaurant. He suggests another place that was further away from our house. I told him that I rather just get a burger from the first place he was planning to go. So then he says "never mind I'll come home." shady! So before he got home I went to pick up take out and it took a little longer to get it than l expected. ( sometimes gives his house key to our sitter so she can take DD out during the day) I don't always know when he has a key or not and forgot to ask before I left to get the food. He didn't have his key and got mad at me for locking him out and just decided to head to the restaurant that he was supposed to go to after work.
So now I am getting the silent treatment! He is the one that was. Acting shady when I wanted to grab a bite with with him after work and now I am getting the silent treatment!! I tried speaking to him this morning and he walked away. Wtf! I am too hormonal and physically uncomfortable to deal with this bs at the moment. Who was he really meeting up there or why was he embarrassed to have me and DD meet them?! I am so annoyed that he won't discuss anything with me!

My brother has become quite the little eater. Recall, this is the boy who used to reject tacos if they had lettuce on them. He couldn't just pick the lettuce off and continue on.

Samaritan's Feet to ask coaches to kick off their shoes on the sidelines

Every February, dapper college basketball coaches willingly turn from fashion dos into don'ts. They chuck their well-heeled, perfectly polished Italian shoes (the ones that match their suits to a T) in favor of sartorial splendor favored more by the retired community set: suits and sneakers.
Nationwide, tailors shudder.

From the beginning of 1831 to the end of 1856 the bond prices shown in Column 2 of Table 9 are an original series compiled for this book. Month by month prices were found for state bonds of New York, Ohio, and Kentucky, and yields to maturity were found for each bond in each month. Simple unweighted averages were computed for each month and these average yields were capitalized at 4.14 percent. This rate of capitalization is too low for these bonds, which almost throughout had coupons of six percent in the cases of the Ohio and Kentucky issues, and of five percent for the New York bonds.
Capitalization at the rate of 4.14 percent was decided upon in order to have the combined series match in price level with the Macaulay series, which was used beginning in 1857. The resulting prices obtained by this capitalization are lower than the actual average prices of the state bonds, but closely similar to the prices of the better rail and canal bonds of the period. The original sources from which the prices were compiled were the files of Nile's Register, Hunt's Merchants' Magazine, the Bankers' Magazine, the Shipping and Commercial List (New York), and in a few instances the daily sales slips of the New York Stock Exchange.
Beginning in 1857 the series is based on the carefully compiled yield data for high grade rail bonds compiled by Dr. Frederick R. Macaulay, and presented in Table 10 of his book on "The Movements of Interest Rates, Bond Yields, and Stock Prices in the United States Since 1856," published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in 1938. The unadjusted bond yields in Dr. Macaulay's table were multiplied by a progressively changing multiplier that was obtained by finding the percents that the average of the actual yields of the bonds were each January of the unadjusted yields. In January of 1857 the multiplier was .84 and this was progressively increased until it was 1.00 in December of 1908, after which the unadjusted yields were used unchanged to the end of 1933.
The new series of bond yields so obtained were capitalized at changing coupon rates that were obtained by finding the average coupon rates of the bonds used by Dr. Macaulay in compiling his index. The average
