Minnesota college grads have third-most debt; MCAD has highest average debt load
Minnesota college grads are some of the most debt-saddled in the country.
Yesterday, the California-based Institute for College Access and Success released its seventh-annual state-by-state student debt report, and it turns out Minnesota is right near the top of the charts when it comes to average debt load for college grads.

According to the study, Minnesota is the third highest-debt state, with graduates carrying an average debt load of $29,793. The only state with higher average debts are first-overall New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. At the bottom of the list is 48th-ranked Oklahoma, Texas, and 50th-ranked Washington.
Minnesota also ranks fifth from the top when it comes to the proportion of college grads who have debt, at 71 percent.
In terms of national trends, the report notes that "the debt levels of students who graduate with loans continues to rise," with a five percent increase in average debt from 2010 to 2011.
"The five percent increase in average debt at the national level is similar to the average annual increase over the past few years," the report notes. "Also similar to previous years, about one-fifth of graduates' debt is comprised of private loans."
A bit more from the report:
Recent college graduates have entered an enormously difficult job market, which poses particular challenges for those who need to begin paying back student loans. The unemployment rate for young college graduates in 2011 remained high at 8.8 percent, a slight decrease from 2010, which saw the highest annual rate on record for this group (9.1%). In addition, many more young graduates were considered underemployed. Among those who wanted to be working full time, as many as 19.1 percent were either working part time or had given up looking for work. Further, 37.8 percent of working young graduates had jobs that did not require a college degree, depressing their wages.
However, even in these tough times, research continues to show strong economic returns on investments in college degrees. Four-year college graduates are experiencing far less unemployment and earning higher salaries than their counterparts with only a high school education. For instance, the unemployment rate for young high school graduates was 19.1 percent in 2011, more than double the rate for young college graduates.
A separate study by the Project on Student Debt breaks down average debts school-by-school.
As far as private schools go, in Minnesota, Minneapolis College of Art and Design graduates can expect to leave with the most debt, as in 2011 graduates carried $43,035 in unpaid loans. Coming in second was The College of Saint Scholastica, at $41,282, followed by Concordia University-Saint Paul ($36,757), Concordia College at Moorhead ($35,240), and St. Catherine University ($35,237).
On the public school end of the spectrum, 2011 Winona State grads carried the most debt, at $31,275, followed by second-place University of Minnesota-Duluth ($31,168), Minnesota State University-Mankato ($29,415), St. Cloud State University ($28,819), the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities ($28,407), and Southwest Minnesota State University ($26,394).

From a discussion in the newsgroup I would like to request a feature. That
feature would be to change the way Tapestry embeds its tags from:
this gets replaced
To (something like this):
this gets replaced
This allows for several things to happen. The first is that Tapestry now
create XHMTL compliant templates at EDIT time so that developers and HTML
coders can validate the XHTML. The second is more nebulous. But I believe the
change to using a namespace would allow Tapestry more flexibility as future
HTML changes come down the pipe to ensure Tapestry meets those specifications.
Howard: What we really want is the ability to control the exact id, so that people can use 'id' (if they like), or
use whatever namespace is convienient for them.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
if we have a tapestry namespace (which sounds like a good idea to me),
the 'jwc' part is a bit redundant isn't it:
this gets replaced
or, better:
this gets replaced
We'll see about addressing this in 3.1. It isn't a bug, its a new feature/enhancement. Just because it doesn't do exactly what you want doesn't make it broken.
All too easily ... even I was surprised that the Tapestry template parser would accept "t:id" as an attribute name without requiring a code change.

The Flagstaff Fire is 90 percent contained, and management of firefighting efforts will be returned this morning to local officials, according to a Saturday evening update from the federal team that has been battling the fire since Thursday.
By Saturday evening all but a small portion of the 300-acre fire's perimeter—on some of the very tough terrain on the southeast side of South Boulder Peak — had been buttoned up by fire crews, said Sean Collins, a public information officer with the California-based federal team. Crews have not been able to hike to the area
where the fire is not contained, Collins said, because the area is too rugged. Incident commanders plan to continue attacking the area with water drops from a helicopter today, he said.
Crews focused Saturday on setting back-burns in the fire area to continue to fortify containment lines. Heavy smoke billowed from the fire zone most of the day, but officials said everything was under control and went as planned. Crews lit a burn on a 20-acre patch of green fuels behind the line about midday Saturday, which was responsible for much of the smoke seen in Boulder.
About 60 firefighters were part of the hand crews that attacked the fire on its fifth day.
"We had three crews and two engines up on the fire with also support from two helicopters and they continued to finalize the last piece of open line to get it as tied in as possible," Collins said.
After three days of being the primary crews fighting the fire, the federal hot shot team will begin to transition off the fire today, with local officials taking over command at 6 a.m., Collins said.
Hot shot fire crews will continue helping to fight the fire for the next three days, Collins said, but are then likely to be reassigned to one of the other wildfires burning in Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota.
Kim Kobel, spokeswoman for Boulder police and fire, on Saturday applauded the efforts of the federal team and other agencies that pitched in to fight the Flagstaff Fire and thanked them for their help.
"We just really appreciate a federal team coming," Kobel said. "So many agencies came to our aid when we called them. We got the air support that we asked for right away. As we have seen from some of these other fires around Colorado, getting a jump a fire right away is really integral to getting it under control and stopping it from spreading into residential areas."
Kobel estimated that as many as 32 state, local and federal agencies pitched in to fight the fire. The neighborhoods nearest to the fire — on Bison Drive and Pika Loop — remain closed to everyone except residents.
Flagstaff Road is now open to the public, but firefighting vehicles are still traveling up and down the road so people are asked to keep the road clear.
The 300-acre fire began burning early Tuesday afternoon after a thunderstorm moved through the area.. The fire — which is burning on the western flanks of Bear Peak and South Boulder Peak — caused the city to issue pre-evacuation orders for more than 2,000 people living in South Boulder, though those orders have since been lifted.
Open space areas between Flagstaff Road and Eldorado Springs Drive remain closed until further notice.

The information that is sent between your computer and our server is encrypted. We are using Hardware: IBM compatible PC, Operating System: Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, Disk Space: at least 30 megabytes free disk space, Disk Drive: high density CD-ROM drive, 256 Megabytes installed RAM, 733 MHz or faster CPU, 32-bit CD-ROM driver.
Information going from one computer to another passes through numerous other computers before it reaches its destination. This information is not normally monitored, but someone can intercept and eavesdrop on your private conversations or credit card exchanges. Worse still, eavesdroppers might replace your information with their own and send it back on its way. Because of the architecture of the Internet and Intranets, there will always be ways for unscrupulous people to intercept and replace data in transit.
Fortunately there are ways to safeguard privacy over the Internet. You encrypt, or disguise, your information before you send it over the Internet. That way, if someone intercepts it, the data is meaningless. And, if the intercepted data is changed, the intended recipient will know it was altered.
We use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to safeguard against the threats listed previously.
Confidentiality is ensured through encryption, the process of disguising information so that it can't be deciphered (or decrypted) by anyone but the intended recipient. If the information is intercepted, it will be unreadable by a third party. The only information that can be discovered is that the two parties are communicating. Integrity is also ensured through encryption. If someone attempts to alter an encrypted message, it will not decrypt correctly, alerting the recipient to the fact that someone has tampered with the message.
Encryption is the process of transforming information so it can't be decrypted or read by anyone but the intended recipient. This disguised information is called ciphertext. It is the ciphertext that you send across the Internet. For example, suppose you have a financial report stored at your web site. If SSL is enabled on your web server, your server encrypts the report and sends the ciphertext to a client, who turns the ciphertext back into the financial report.
Decryption reverses the process, turning the ciphertext back into the original message. Only the recipient can decrypt the text because only the recipient has a key. Only someone with the correct key can "unlock" a message.
Public-key encryption takes longer than symmetric encryption. However, client-server communication with SSL uses both types of encryption together to maximize their strengths. Here's how these processes are leveraged: A client and server exchange public keys (public-key encryption), and then the client generates a symmetric encryption key that is used only for a single transaction (symmetric encryption). This key is called a session key. The client encrypts the session key with the server's public key and sends it to the server. When the server receives the session key, it uses its private key to decrypt it. For the rest of that transaction, the client and the server can use the quicker symmetric encryption.
During an SSL connection, the client and the server agree to use the strongest cipher with which they both can communicate.
Technically, it's not impossible to "crack" ciphertext and determine the content of the original message--it just takes a lot of time and money. For example, it would take a single Pentium-based computer more than a billion years to crack the 128-bit encryption.
Of course, you could use several computers in conjunction. For example, if you dedicated ten computers to cracking that same encryption, it would take you one-tenth the time. Even then, only the single message in question would be deciphered because SSL generates a new encryption key for every exchange. However, it is conceivable that someone could use 100 dedicated computers working together to crack it more quickly. Of course, the cost of making such powerful machines unavailable for other tasks for that amount of time would be very high indeed--probably millions of dollars.
The precise level of security a key offers is measured by the size of certain numbers used in creating the key. These numbers are measured in bits. The greater the number of bits, the more secure the key. The key used in the previous example is a 128-bit key, which is so strong that the United States government doesn't allow products containing it to be exported. International versions of Netscape products are limited to 40-bit encryption keys. This is still strong enough to stop most hackers.

3/7 Cavalry gets back to the basics
February 16, 2012
By Sgt. Dustin Gautney, 2HBCT Public Affairs
FORT STEWART, Ga. - While many Soldiers from 2nd "Spartan" Heavy Brigade Combat Team, Third Infantry Division, have started to deploy in support of combat operations in Afghanistan, this does not mean an end to the continual training of Soldiers remaining at Fort Stewart.
For the Soldiers of 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry, 2HBCT, the extended training time while at Fort Stewart has allowed the squadron to re-focus their training and get back to the basics of what makes up a scout and reconnaissance squadron, according squadron commander, Lt. Col. Lance Varney.
"For the first time in years, because of rapid deployments, we have the block of time available to focus on what our organization is designed to do … to specialize in reconnaissance,"Lt. Col. Varney said.
Since the Marne Division, and the Army as a whole has begun a rapid deployment operation tempo dating back to the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Army has evolved to better fit the needs of the conflict. However, for specialized units such as reconnaissance or field artillery combat Soldiers, the evolution of recent conflicts has caused these types of units to work as a lighter combat maneuver unit. According to Lt. Col. Varney, the ability to re-focus the Squadron's training back to the reconnaissance is more about looking toward the future of Cavalry Scout and the individual Soldier.
"It's about transition; the Army is continually evolving to meet the needs of the current operation. However, since combat operations in Iraq has ended, it is on us to focus back on the what our organization is designed to do to better prepare the Soldiers and Army of the future for any conflict we may face," Lt. Col. Varney said.
As part of the re-focus on scout and reconnaissance training, Lt. Col. Varney stated that the development and design of the training is being designed by the troop commanders themselves, and not dictated from higher authority.
"In years past it was on the troop and company level commanders to design and develop much of their own training. However, with the focus shifting back to honing our skills as scouts this has allowed the time to also focus on the professional development of troop commanders as they must develop the training themselves and rely on the mentorship of senior noncommisioned officers," Lt. Col. Varney said.
For First Sgt. Jon Sylvester, B. Co., 3/7 Cavalry, the opportunity to re-focus his troop's training on the basics of reconnaissance has allowed him to train his young noncommisioned officers on the importance of military education, through group lead discussion focused on prior military battles. According to First. Sgt. Sylvester, this type of military history education and discussion follows much of the education officers receive, however, by developing noncommisioned officers the same way will provide a much more educated Soldier.
"We've emphasized the professional development on noncommisioned officers on military education. Mostly for the noncommissioned officers to have a greater understanding of military history and strategy," said First Sgt. Sylvester. "Every two to three weeks the noncommissioned officers are given a reading assignment about a particular battle in history, whether that battle was successful or not, and ask them what they would have done in that battle as a leader, whether it is troop placement or strategy."
First Sergeant Sylvester stated that the ability to re-focuses his troops training has allowed the opportunity to develop greater educated noncommisioned officers and in turn educate all Soldiers within the unit.
"With this kind of education, usually geared towards officers, at the noncommisioned officer level we can produce better, smarter and sharper, leaders which in turn produce better Soldiers," said 1st Sgt. Sylvester.
For Staff Sgt. Clinton Davis, B. Co., 3/7 Cavalry, the training focused on military education and development has been a great success.
"The training has been great. We (noncommissioned officers) have been able to place ourselves in these battles and discuss on a strategy level what we would have done," said Staff Sgt. Davis. " It's great on the noncommisioned officer level to have that kind of professional development, it flat out makes you a smarter leader."

One young man from Greenville is out of the hospital after being paralyzed from head to toe from a rare disease from what he says stemmed from an H1N1 vaccination.
James Coda Jr. Is taking some of his first steps outside with the assistance of a walker since being in critical condition in the hospital for three months after doctors diagnosed him with Guillen-Barre.
It's a rare disease that paralyzed the 25-year-old from head to toe.
Coda was released from the hospital on Wednesday and is now on the road to recovery.
But, this school teacher from Greenville says his life changed when he received the H1N1 vaccination.
The ECU grad says he hopes to be walking without the walker by the fall semester.
He plans to get another degree.
Doctors have never officially said what caused Coda's condition.
For more information on the James Coda Jr. Fund, contact email@example.com.

There might be no worse feeling for an offensive player than to miss a block that leads to a sack.
Just ask Julius Thomas.
The Broncos' rookie tight end from Portland State missed a block on a blitz in the second quarter of the preseason opener, giving a Dallas defender a clear shot at Tim Tebow.
"I learned my lesson on the blitz, and we'll work on that this week," Thomas said. "Sometimes it's good to have plays you didn't do good on so you can learn from it now, so that you don't get hit with it Week 1. I'd rather get hit with it in the first preseason game."
Thomas, who played only one year of college football, had several snaps with Denver's starting offense at Dallas and remained in the game to play with the backup quarterbacks. Thomas said he felt like he was "thinking too much," and that led to him playing slow early in Thursday's game.
"I think that shows up on the film," he said. "Overall it needs to be better, no question, if I want to be what this team needs me to be and I want to be what I want to be for myself."
Extra credit.
It isn't unusual for several Broncos to stay after practice for some extra drills. But it's odd to see an entire position group do that.
Denver's defensive linemen spent nearly 30 extra minutes on the field Saturday for conditioning work.
Injury report.
The Broncos held 11 players, including two starters, out of practice at training camp Saturday because of injuries.
The two starters: wide receiver Eddie Royal (hip) and defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley (groin).
Mark Dell (knee), an undrafted rookie from Michigan State, was waived/injured. If he clears waivers Monday, he will be added to the injured reserve.
Coach John Fox said the only other "long-term" situation is wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, a former first- round pick who continues to rehabilitate from a torn Achilles tendon and is on the nonfootball injury list.
Others who didn't practice: wide receiver Britt Davis (foot); tight end Richard Quinn (knee); linebackers Nate Irving and Derek Domino, cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson (groin); guard Stanley Daniels (ankle); and defensive tackle Louis Leonard (knee).
Linebacker D.J. Williams and defensive tackle Mitch Unrein returned to practice from injuries.

Brock Lesnar to IGF
While the internet wrestling community has been on the edge of their seats while keeping up with all the news surrounding Brock Lesnar, the legendary Antonio Inoki is listening just as intently. He still has plans on contacting the heavyweight champion to see what he wants to do after his contract with WWE expires. While Lesnar is unlikely to sign a long term deal, Inoki would love to pay him big bucks for a couple of matches in the summer.

Chris Sabin to GFW
Since TNA started signing contracts with wrestlers again, it seems a bit surprising that there have not been a lot of news in regards to the company contacting Chris Sabin. It is being said that the former world heavyweight champion is not interested in making a return at this point because he wants to wait and see what Jeff Jarrett does with GFW. The belief is that a lot of free agents are doing the same thing as well.

I supposed if you can't have soy...
Posted by 4613621240601653602 on Dec 13, 2015
This is a soy-substitute, but I personally just prefer the taste of soy sauce. This is too sweet. I haven't tried other brands of coconut aminos, but I wouldn't buy it again.
So good.

I use this as i can't tolerate soy.
Coconut Aminos

This was a first for me to try. The flavor will take a little getting used to. I have been using Bragg's but wanted to try this for it's health benefits. I'm not sure if I will reorder.
Very tasty and no so salty as soy sauce

A healthier alternative to soy, with a great taste
A little too sweet
Posted by 5179787325484961853 on Nov 02, 2015
for my taste, but still good.
Good substitute
Posted by Flossiesfavorites on Sep 27, 2015
Having lived most of my life in Japan where I'm used to non GMO soy sauce at it's best, I can't say I love the taste of this as a soy sauce substitute. However, if you're needing to avoid soy, this is better than living without soy-sauce flavored food altogether. Just know that it will not taste the same as soy sauce.

Great alternative to soy sauce
Posted by jennar on Aug 14, 2015
This is a great alternative to soy sauce. It's lacking the salty flavour but still very good.
It is ok
Posted by 5287965161169056312 on Aug 12, 2015
Definitely taste different from soy sauce and seems to taste good only on certain food. Its a little sweet for me. Still a good healthy replacement seasoning sauce though.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution
Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C. Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, address this critical 21st century issue.

Friedrich Hayek and the Future of Liberty
Recorded: Wednesday, May 16, 2001
Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992) left such a profound mark on economic and political thought that The New Yorker has called the 20th century, "The Hayek Century." After converting to free-market capitalism and classical liberalism in the 1920s, Hayek became one of socialism's and statism's staunchest critics. His 1944 bestseller, The Road to Serfdom, warned of central government planning's authoritarian, and even totalitarian, tendencies- and helped reignite worldwide interest in the philosophy and practice of freedom. Although Hayek's 1974 Nobel Prize in Economic Science brought renewed interest in his ideas, it wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Bloc (which Hayek predicted) that his vast writings on economics, political philosophy, law, history, culture, and other fields became broadly recognized as essential to achieve a prosperous, humane and free society. Biographer Alan Ebenstein and economist Charles Baird shed light on Hayek's seminal legacy and the rebirth of freedom.

Following success with iTunes Match wish to now ensure all libraries have the correct Artwork - how is this best achieved?
Looking at the behaviour of iTunes (reported in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3650114?tstart=0) it seems wise to ask this more general community for help since ensuring correct Album Artwork must be a very common theme with a solution not necessarily associated with iTunes Match.
Many thanks in anticipation, all advice gratefully received.

Meet Heather
Hometown: Kingsport, TN
Degree: Communication/Public Relations – Master's degree in Christian Education
Why I love Messiah: working at Messiah gives me an opportunity to meet and develop relationships with amazing students!
My friends would describe me as: fun and adventurous… and a little OCD about certain things
Favorite spot on Messiah's campus: having my lunch on warm days at a picnic table down by the Yellow Breeches creek
Favorite meal served in Lottie Nelson Dining: Mongolian Grill - where you can create your own stir fry
Best place to visit around Messiah: Chick Fil-A… OK, so it's 15 minutes away, but there's still a Chick Fil-A!
Hi! Thanks so much for visiting Messiah's website! As you might have guessed from my title, "Assistant Director of Admissions for the Visit Experience," I would LOVE to have you come for a visit to campus! There are many opportunities that you (and your family) can take advantage of during a campus visit—and they can be totally individualized to you and your interests.
For example, you could come for an individual visit that would include a guided campus tour by a current Messiah student, and a one-on-one admissions information session for you and your family with an admissions counselor. It might also include a chapel service, professor or coach meeting, and attending a class. Of course, what college visit would be complete without tasting the excellent food in the dining hall?
Whether you choose to come for an individual visit, Open House, Preview Day, or even to spend the night with a host student, I'd love to help you decide what is the best option for you! Every person is different, and if planning a visit to a college seems overwhelming to you, please just give me a call. If you already have a date in mind, and enjoy the convenience of using our website, just click on the button to the right that says, "Schedule a Visit," and enter the choices for your visit. Either way, we look forward to having you as our guest!
Blessings to you as you endeavor to find God's will during this important time in your life!Heather Keefer

The leaderships of the three South Caucasus states have adopted widely varying positions with regard to the war in Iraq, and those positions have been articulated on different levels. Whereas in Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Foreign Ministry has been the primary source of official statements, in Georgia President Eduard Shevardnadze has set the agenda by affirming unconditional support for the United States.
Of the three states, only Armenia does not figure in U.S. President George W. Bush's 49-member "coalition of the willing." The Armenian Foreign Ministry has consistently opposed any military action against Iraq without the endorsement of the UN Security Council, calling instead for Iraq to disarm peacefully and voluntarily in compliance with UN Security Council resolutions. As for the possible impact on Armenia of the Iraq war, President Robert Kocharian, in one of his very few public comments on the issue, predicted that the economic impact for Armenia would be negligible.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry has identified two interrelated concerns. The first is the Armenian minority in Iraq, which is estimated to number between 15,000-20,000 people. The Foreign Ministry has been preparing to grant visas to those Armenians to travel to Armenia. The second is the possibility of a Turkish incursion into northern Iraq which, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said on Armenian Public Television on 24 March, could endanger an Armenian-populated village in the region. Any Armenian casualties at the hands of the Turkish military would inevitably revive memories of the 1915 genocide and thus constitute a major obstacle to the normalization of relations to which both countries aspire.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry and the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan have both formally denied media reports that the United States has requested the use of one or more military airfields in Armenia for the duration of the war in Iraq.
Azerbaijan figures among the coalition of the willing, even though, as Iraq's ambassador to Baku recently noted, no member of the Azerbaijani leadership has expressed unequivocal support for U.S. military action against Iraq. Asked in late February on the eve of his departure for the United States to outline Baku's position, President Heidar Aliev said it had already been formulated in a Foreign Ministry statement. That statement called on Iraq to disarm voluntarily in compliance with UN resolutions and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's 5 February report to the UN Security Council. Aliev also said on 25 February that the United States had not invited Azerbaijan to join the coalition against Iraq, according to Interfax.
In a second statement on 21 March, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry expressed its "deep concern" over developments in Iraq and called on Baghdad "to meet fully the requirements" of UN Security Council resolutions 678, 687, and 1441, Interfax and ITAR-TASS reported. The statement further expressed support for international efforts to resolve the crisis and urged "strict observance of international law" during military operations. Interfax on 21 March also quoted Azerbaijan's Defense Minister Colonel General Safar Abiev as saying on 21 March that the United States has asked Azerbaijan for unspecified assistance in connection with the war in Iraq. Abiev said Azerbaijan might make its airspace available, but will not send troops. He said it is too early to say whether Azerbaijani forces might participate in peacekeeping operations in Iraq.
"Turan" on 25 March quoted Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Vilayat Guliev as saying that Baku is still considering how to respond to the U.S. request to all countries in which Iraq has diplomatic representations to ask its diplomats to leave. In what might be a bid to win the respect of Iran and of moderate Arab states, Guliev highlighted Azerbaijan's concern at the possibility that Muslim shrines in Iraq could be damaged during the hostilities. He suggested that Azerbaijan could send "representatives" to Iraq to protect such holy sites and that oil-industry, medical, and other specialists could participate in postwar reconstruction.
The Azerbaijani leadership's failure to affirm its unconditional support for the U.S.-led military action against Iraq might stem partly from a fear of alienating opposition formations, including the Union of Azerbaijani Forces, that have adopted a clearly pro-Iraqi position and even offered to send volunteers to fight against the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. The Iraqi ambassador in Baku has politely declined that offer.
Another contributing factor might be a reluctance to risk alienating Arab states and Islamic financial organizations that are considering, but have not yet made a firm commitment to, providing some funding for oil-sector projects, according to "Nezavisimaya gazeta" on 24 March. The United States, for its part, might be turning a blind eye to Azerbaijan's equivocation because of the U.S. commitment to the construction of the planned Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil export pipeline for Caspian oil.
Georgia, in contrast to Armenia and Azerbaijan, has expressed wholehearted support for the U.S. military action against Iraq, and has offered to place its military airfields at the disposal of the United States. U.S. specialists have reportedly inspected at least one airfield, and talks were said to be under way late last week at U.S. Joint Command Headquarters in Florida on the technical and logistical issues involved.
But there are indications that Tbilisi's willingness to provide whatever help it can to the United States is not entirely altruistic: Shevardnadze has said that he anticipates that the United States will take on a more prominent role in resolving the Abkhaz conflict once the Iraq war is over. And Georgia would presumably be in a position to claim financial compensation on the lines of that Washington offered Ankara for the use of its territory to launch military operations against Iraq. The Georgian leadership might also be hoping that demonstrating the country's crucial geostrategic position might expedite its bid for NATO membership, which might otherwise be held delayed for years by the inherent weakness of Georgia's chronically underfunded armed forces.

Elite QBs dominate 7On
Teddy Bridgewater and J.W. Walsh showed why they're highly-recruited quarterbacks
Updated: July 10, 2010, 2:46 PM ETBy Corey Long | ESPN Recruiting
BEAVERTON, Ore -- After two days of 7-on-7 competition, there was little doubt that Northwestern (Miami, FL) and Guyer (Denton, Texas) were the best two teams at the event.
Finding out who was number one took a little longer. When the dust settled, it was Northwestern which had successfully defended its Nike 7On title with a 44-42 victory over Guyer in double overtime.
Trailing 42-36 in the second overtime, Northwestern quarterback Teddy Bridgewater hit backup quarterback ...

SVG Web: Google Brings SVG Support to Internet Explorer
Microsoft is a true master when it comes to ignoring Web standards. Thanks to Google, that could now change in terms of the SVG vector graphics format.
While Microsoft is busily tinkering with its Flash replacement Silverlight, the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format has long been a free alternative whose Web distribution has so far lacked Microsoft's support. Whereas Firefox, Safari and Opera have long supported SVG graphics, there's been only one attempt by W3C to provide an SVG plugin for Internet Explorer.
The SVG Web code is still in an early development stage, but a download is available.
Microsoft's AttentionThis should get Microsoft's attention. As they try to dominate the web with their proprietary Silverlight, a competing open standard requires Flash (a technology installed on most machines today) and has multiple compatible implementations (making it much more appealing and avoiding vendor lock-in). Additionally, the video tag will make these technologies more obsolete (assuming most web devs are wise enough to use a Free format).
Note: I am aware of Moonlight but I'm also aware that they just released 2.0 (implementing _some_ of 3.0) whereas Silverlight has already released 3.0. It's embrace, extend and extinguish on a product that's barely off the ground.

Barley Risotto with Asparagus and Mushrooms
- 3½ cups reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 225 grams mushrooms (preferably wild varieties), coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 225 grams asparagus, stems cut into bite-size pieces (leave tips whole)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the broth and water to just below a simmer. Cover; keep at a simmer.
- 2
In a large deep nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Sauté the onion until slightly softened, 3 minutes.
- 3
Add the mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are softened, 5 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the barley and 2 cups of the hot broth mixture. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
- 5
Meanwhile, blanch the asparagus tips in the pot of remaining hot broth for 2 minutes. Transfer them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- 6
Add more hot broth to the barley mixture, ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently. Let each batch of liquid be absorbed before adding more. When adding the last batch of broth, stir in the asparagus stem pieces. Stir in the Parmesan. Serve topped with the asparagus tips.

Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.Jeff Cooper
Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possibleHubert H. Humphrey

I am thinking of riding from LA to San Francisco from south to north, so opposite to the direction that everyone is riding. It just would make it timing-wise much easier for me and also think it would be a cool challenge.
I would love to hear from people who have done that route south-north direction along the Pacific coast before and if their experience with the wind has been really that bad. Obviously, the wind can slow you down, but honestly, I have ridden from LA to San Diego many times along the coast and I have experienced head-wind in both directions.
Further, I'm contemplating what route to take between Morro Bay and Carmel. Either land-inwards roughly following the 101 or the far more scenic route along the coast on the 1. I heard traffic during summer is bad on the 1, with all the tourist traffic, so I'm wondering if anyone rode that stretch north-south along the coast in summer. I am contemplating of wait till after labor day and I was wondering if folks here agree that traffic slows down considerably after labor day on the 1.
Any insights, stories, advice you can share would be appreciated. Although I'm not experienced as many other great bicycle riders here, I'm not a newbie either. I have done many centuries and I rode through the Mojave desert last year from LA to Las Vegas in full head-wind so I know what it means to ride against the wind.

My daughter is 3 months old. She latched on well at the hospital. We came home and she did not latch well. My partner thought she wasn't getting enough food and wanted me to feed her formula. The visiting nurse who came the next day felt the same so I gave her the bottle. A lactation consultant came and said the baby's mouth looked like it had an overbite and was too small (I have large breasts/areolas). I tried and waited and tried and waited. I've tried a nipple shield. I've tried a SNS. There have been a couple of times where she's nursed for a couple of minutes but nothing very long. I pump and feed her breastmilk via the bottle, however my supply is not keeping up with her demand so I'm supplementing also.
Is it too late for her to get it now?

Well, I finally did what I've been having nightmares about for the last 5 years. I drove my car with my cannondale road bike into the garage (and the side of the house). Besides bending my rack and putting a few good size dents in the roof of my subaru, I also now have a beautiful blue cannondale frame in 3 pieces.
So, I've been reading over my homeowners and auto insurance policies to see if this is covered. The last time I tried to claim something on homeowners I was given some long lawyer speak about why it wasn't covered.
Does anyone have any ideas, pointers, etc. on how to (legally) go about getting them to cover this?

McDonald's to Reduce Number of Stores, 1st Time in Decades
For the first time in more than 40 years, and perhaps ever, McDonald's says the number of U.S. restaurants it has is shrinking.
For the first time in more than 40 years, and perhaps ever, McDonald's says the number of U.S. restaurants it has is shrinking.
From Olive Garden's new breadstick sandwiches to a food giant checking in with quarterly results, here's what to watch on Wall Street this week.
A struggling mall retailer rolls out a controversial T-shirt and the top dog in wearable cameras eyes growth in the drone and virtual reality markets.
McDonald's is rolling out 'artisan' chicken, hoping to make it seem as if a chain with more than 36,000 locations can somehow mass-produce gourmet fare.
To improve the taste of its food, McDonald's is toasting its buns longer so sandwiches will be warmer and searing beef patties to make them juicier.
A Taco Bell in Chicago has applied for a liquor license, a move that would make it the first Taco Bell to serve up stronger beverages than Mountain Dew.
The hottest trend in fast casual is no longer burritos, freshly baked sandwiches or even gourmet burgers, but something just as familiar: pizza.
The truth involves the food with integrity mantra, the addictive cilantro rice and the trendy nature of hot chains. And Chipotle is just getting started.
Tabletop tablets, inexpensive menu items, mobile ordering and a clear corporate focus are some of the factors that make Chili's sizzle.
McDonald's is simplifying its grilled chicken recipe to remove ingredients people might not recognize, as the fast food chain continues to revamp its menu.
Noodles & Co. is fleshing out its menu, offering four popular entrees that replace the chain's signature noodles with a double portion of veggies.
In casual dining, sometimes a fire sale leads to an even bigger fire sale. Consider the story of Macaroni Grill and what might happen to Red Lobster.
Super Chix is expanding to a second location. Yum is also testing fast-casual versions of KFC and Taco Bell. Are they the future of fast food?
The right ingredients are in place for this to be a slow yet gradual rise in 2015, but El Pollo Loco will need to keep getting things right.
Qdoba succeeds by charging a single price for entrees based on the initial protein, letting customers pile on the extras, such as guacamole or queso.
More locations increased revenue, but adjusted net income declined 9 percent from a year earlier, pushed down by higher food costs and labor expenses.
Cheesecake Factory warns of a larger-than-usual price hike. Chipotle, Chili's and Ruby Tuesday have noted increased costs that will be passed along to you.
Panera is increasing customer counts, receipts and outlets, but the rub on the bottom line is that margins continue to contract.
Yum Brands may be able to mask its meandering performance if China turns around later this year, but it needs to start thinking beyond KenTacoHut.
Two wildly different and widely loved restaurant chains are now promoting vegetarian dishes -- and so are other groups in America and the world.
Brinker International, the parent of Chili's and Maggiano's Little Italy, raises the bar among traditional restaurants.
Panera is adding touch-screen tablets that customers can place orders on and inviting orders via smartphones -- and the orders are delivered to the table.
The struggling casual dining chain slips back into a funk after a brief turnaround. What approach will it try next?
If you're looking to invest in hamburgers, the retro drive-in chain Sonic may be better than Shake Shack, the IPO flavor of the month.
Some of the hottest food and beverage chains started with run-of-the-mill concepts. Consider Chipotle, Starbucks, Panera Bread and Buffalo Wild Wings.
DineEquity is making it work with IHOP and Applebee's. Ruby Tuesday and Brinker International, the firm behind Chili's, are improving, too.
El Pollo Loco, Mobileye, ReWalk Robotics, Alibaba and Smart & Final were last quarter's most interesting IPOs.
McDonald's is testing a secret weapon that could help it raise wages. But a tablet that automates ordering could also eliminate a lot of McJobs.
Smashing avocados isn't enough to get McDonald's back on track. Remember Angus beef, white cheddar and iced caramel mocha?
El Pollo Loco flies high in its first quarter as a public company. Expect the restaurant chain's expansion to speed up.

Steadily climbing orange and red bands on the graph show the computer predictions of world temperatures used by the official United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The estimates – given with 75 per cent and 95 per cent certainty – suggest only a five per cent chance of the real temperature falling outside both bands.
But when the latest official global temperature figures from the Met Office are placed over the predictions, they show how wrong the estimates have been, to the point of falling out of the '95 per cent' band completely.
Varying fears: In 1977 we were warned of the 'next ice age', now we are warned that the planet is getting dangerously hot
The graph shows in incontrovertible detail how the speed of global warming has been massively overestimated. Yet those forecasts have had a ruinous impact on the bills we pay, from heating to car fuel to huge sums paid by councils to reduce carbon emissions.
The eco-debate was, in effect, hijacked by false data. The forecasts have also forced jobs abroad as manufacturers relocate to places with no emissions targets.
A version of the graph appears in a leaked draft of the IPCC's landmark Fifth Assessment Report due out later this year. It comes as leading climate scientists begin to admit that their worst fears about global warming will not be realised.
Academics are revising their views after acknowledging the miscalculation. Last night Myles Allen, Oxford University's Professor of Geosystem Science, said that until recently he believed the world might be on course for a catastrophic temperature rise of more than five degrees this century.
But he now says: 'The odds have come down,' – adding that warming is likely to be significantly lower.
Prof Allen says higher estimates are now 'looking iffy'.
The graph confirms there has been no statistically significant increase in the world's average temperature since January 1997 – as this newspaper first disclosed last year.
At the end of last year the Met Office revised its ten-year forecast predicting a succession of years breaking records for warmth. It now says the pause in warming will last until at least 2017. A glance at the graph will confirm that the world will be cooler than even the coolest scenario predicted.

Following the death of her parents, teen-aged Andie West is living with her mother's best friend, Sarah. Andie, who doesn't care about school, is trying to figure out where she fits in in life. The only thing she loves is dancing with her street crew, the 410, led by Tuck. The 410 are the most notorious of the street crews in Baltimore and are wanted by the police for their acts of vandalism and public mischief. Sarah threatens to send Andie to live with relatives in Texas unless she cleans up her act, which includes ending her association with the 410 and trying harder at school. Andie's neighborhood friend, Tyler Gage, convinces Andie to audition for entry into the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA), an institution which ended up turning his life around for the better.

Sky High Sports -- the Bellevue "fun center" outfitted with trampoline floors and walls -- faces a lawsuit after a child allegedly bounced into "an unpadded pole," fracturing his skull and causing amnesia.
Image Source
But, instead of a cushy landing, the kid, whose age is not given in the lawsuit, "hit his head on an unpadded pole sticking out from the foam pit, causing skull fracture, head lacerations, a concussion, and retrograde and anteriograde amnesia."
Image Source
The double-dose of amnesia supposedly impacts "more recent memories closer to the traumatic incident," (retrograde amnesia), and also causes "a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact," (anteriograde amnesia).
The kid's guardian, George Kargianis, wants Sky High to pay for medical bills, attorney fees, and "unspecified damages." Kargianis' attorney did not return a call seeking comment on the case.
Sky High Sports is national chain headquartered in Nevada with 16 franchise locations in seven states. They hosts birthday parties, adult dodgeball leagues, private events, and other activities for "the young or young at heart." Here's how the company's website describes their set up:
Unlike home trampolines, with our specially designed, spring loaded frame, landing here has more give. All frames and springs are covered by 2 inch thick safety pads. With 360 degrees of trampoline walls and court supervisors, there's no falling off this trampoline.Even though there's "no falling off," the company requires guardians of all jumpers under 18 to sign a "Customer Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk." The document cautions that trampolines can cause, "physical or emotional injury, paralysis, [and/or] death," and notes all that bouncing around, "entails certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity."
But, as any attorney worth his briefcase will attest, it's possible to sue anybody for anything. Despite the liability waiver and explicit warning that a visit to Sky High could very well end with a trip to the emergency room, the company has been hit with five personal injury lawsuits in King County in the last six months alone. In March of 2010, just a few months after the trampoline funhouse opened, Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue experienced a notable uptick in leg and back injuries, and KIRO 7 "consumer investigators" uncovered tales of "shattered bones."
The attorney representing Sky High declined to comment on the latest round of pending litigation, but Jerry Raymond, the co-founder of the company, has said previously that injuries come with the territory when you unleash a pack of kids in a room filled with contraptions that propel them several feet into the air and send them careening off walls.
"There may be two kids who get hurt," Raymond told Q13 recently, "but there's 998 that got exercise, had a great time, and just think it's the greatest place ever."

and if you play A Link To The Past you find out that Zelda is truly the princess of the story.
The hero`s name is Link,not Zelda. Zelda is the princess Link saves. You all need to look at some of the titles of earlier games and look underneath the big "The Legend of Zelda" and you see things like "Link`s Adventure","A Link to The Past" and,"Link`s Awaking". Totally proofs that the hero`s name is Link and the big "Zelda" on every title stands for the princess,Zelda.
