As one of our valued customers, we think it's important that you know exactly what you can expect from us, and the high level of customer satisfaction we strive for in everything that we do. That's why we created our Customer Guarantee.
We are also committed to offering you competitive fares, which is why if you find a published internet airfare from another airline that is lower than the lowest available comparable Jetstar fare on Jetstar.com, on the same route for a comparable time, we will beat that fare by 10%.
Jetstar is committed to providing you with an enjoyable and hassle-free flight experience, yet it is sometimes unavoidable that a flight faces a potential delay or cancellation on the day you're due to travel. In such circumstances we are committed to minimising the impact a potential delay or cancellation can cause so we've made a small change to our confirmed delay time and updated the Jetstar Customer Guarantee.
We have changed our confirmed delay time in Section 5 from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, so we don't notify you unnecessarily of a potential flight delay that can be brought back on to schedule or does not eventuate.

You also have our personal guarantee that your safety is always our highest priority.
We strive to make every part of your experience with us uncomplicated, pleasant and enjoyable. That's why we have over 7,000 people doing their very best, all day, every day, to get you to where you want to go.

We know that in situations like this, sharing information is really important, and we are committed to ensuring we deal with every issue that arises - fairly, openly and consistently.
Delays and Cancellations on the day of Departure:
All airlines at some time experience delays or flight cancellations at very short notice. At Jetstar your safety is always our highest priority, so sometimes we will have to delay or cancel your flight to ensure your travel is safe.
We certainly understand the impact this can cause, and our firm commitment to minimising cancellations is evidenced by Jetstar having one of the lowest cancellation rates of any major airline in Australia over the first five years of its operation. At Jetstar we never cancel flights on the day of departure for commercial reasons, or when we have not sold enough seats.
However, despite all the efforts we make, it is sometimes unavoidable that a flight is delayed or that we have to cancel a flight on the day you're due to travel. In such circumstances, it's important that you know what to expect, so we're focussed on keeping you informed about the status of departure times with regular announcements at the airport.
If on the day you're due to travel we have confirmed a delay of more than 45 minutes or we cancel your flight, and we are aware of the delay or cancellation more than two hours before the scheduled departure time, then we commit to:
If we fail to meet this commitment, call us and we'll provide you with a $50 Jetstar travel voucher. *Click here for more detailed information and full conditions.
A seat on your booked flight is no longer available to you

In the unlikely event that this happens, we commit to:
If we fail to meet this commitment, call us and we'll provide you with a $100 Jetstar travel voucher. *Click here for more detailed information and full conditions.
We believe that air travel is all about choice, and you should be able to pay for only the services and products that you choose.

In the unlikely event that you don't receive the 'pre-pay' options as promised, call us and we will refund the purchase price of the product.
Every single Jetstar employee is a customer too, and we know from our own experience of other organizations' customer service, that not knowing where you can find help when you have an issue can be really frustrating.

If we are unable to resolve your issue on the spot, we will refer you to our Call Centre where we have a dedicated Customer Assistance Team to support you to solve more complicated issues over the phone.

Superintendents to Mangano: restore youth funding
1 2 Next page >
Since Elmont elementary schools opened their doors in September for the start of the school year, most of the students in the districts' six buildings have had nowhere to go when the school day's final bell rings.
In July, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announced that youth service agencies would no longer receive funding from the county. Gateway Youth Outreach in Elmont used that funding to provide after-school programs for district children.
On Oct. 2, school superintendents from across Nassau County gathered outside Gateway's offices and called on Mangano to reinstate the programs' funding. Administrators from Elmont, Long Beach, Great Neck, Massapequa, Mineola, Uniondale and Westbury said they fear that their students are turning into latchkey youth, with many elementary school-age children forced to go home to an empty house after school and spend hours unsupervised. The superintendents also said they were afraid that some older students would get into trouble on the streets.
"We're here to give voice to the students that don't really have a voice," Long Beach Superintendent David Weiss said at the gathering.
"It wasn't just the agencies that were affected," added Peter Levy, president of the Coalition of Nassau County Youth Agencies. "It was tens of thousands of children."
Elmont Superintendent Al Harper stressed the value of Gateway and organizations like it to the community. Gateway provided support for parents, many of whom work more than one job and late hours to make ends meet, Harper said. "Gateway Youth Outreach provides that support," he said. "We need it back."
Teachers and principals have found more students waiting at least an hour after school for a parent or guardian to pick them up, Harper said. Members of the school staff must be on hand to watch children who are waiting for rides, which takes teachers away from lesson planning and becomes an added cost to the district.

Mr. Harper if you think the youth program should be reinstated, take the extra monies you have in your budget to bring back the program. One thing we as taxpayers do not want is, for teachers to become baby sitters for these kids, Parents shouild not depend on youth programs to baby sit their children. Parents need to be more involved with their children. This is rediculous and does not make sense. We do not have the funds, so we cannot have the programs that we are used to having. Times do change and we must prepare to take the correct action. The correct action is not to have youth programs to act as parents baby sitters. The district should have after school programs run by the school district and they have the resources for this. We pay a lot of $ in school taxes and anyone that thinks otherwise can come and pay mine. Mr. Harper for your salary, you should donate part of your salary to fund the youth programs. That you won't do. So don't ask for additional funds, since you busted the 2% cap. Where did that extra money go? It was a bad choice to have Mr. Harper for superintendent, he just likes to spend, spend and keep spending $ the residents do not have and cannot afford. CONSOLIDATE MR. HARPER AND YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF $, BELIEVE ME. BE A FISCAL RESPONSIBLE SUPERINTENDENT. All the people in the photo look very concerned, but would any of them say, how about some consolidation, no way. REALLY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH CONSOLIDATION?

The Riccardi Reducer was now also tested with success on the TEC 140 Apo and TEC 180 Fluorite and the chinese triplet FPL 53 Apos from german based Telescope-Express company.
Massimo Riccardi, famous optical Designer from Italy, designed for APM-Telescopes a new 3 element ( with ED Glas) 0.75 x Apo-Reducer/Flattener Corrector for all TMB-APM-LZOS Apochromatic Telescopes. Tests show that it also works on Apos from other manufacturers very well
The corrector was designed to work with most diffrent telescopes, by changing little the backfocuse only.
The Coating of the corrector is optimized for modern CCD Camera spectral range.

I also have the Meade 6000 80mm APO, will it work?
Can you provide benefits that I would enjoy on my scopes with this product?
Posted 27 February 2013 - 11:13 AM
Posted 27 February 2013 - 03:29 PM
it will work perfect on your 14" ACF yes
it will NOT work on your 80 mm apo, because you need minimum a 2.5" focuser and minimum 7.1" backfocuse
the benefit you will have on the meade is a apochromatic corrected 0.75 x FOV for imaging for full format CCD chip
Posted 27 February 2013 - 03:30 PM
like any corector, this is also designed for imaging work only.No benefit for visual , sorry
Posted 27 February 2013 - 07:23 PM
1) Reduce my focal length
2) Further flatten the field
3) Eliminate need for the Meade Reducer/Flattener
I use a Canon 5D Mark II, which is full frame, so this should be awesome. Which unit would I need?
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:24 PM
Reason I ask is that ES has a hole in their inventory for a FR/FF for the 127ED.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 08:54 AM
excactly , one german used such Meade , my reducer and his full format CCD and thanks to him we know it works :-)very well. Then i asked Riccardi to check how our apo reducer works with RC and he was himself surprised how well it works with RC .
if you want one, drop me a email to email@example.com and we will get you the quote
Posted 28 February 2013 - 08:55 AM
the ES 127 has a 2" focuser only and my reducer requires minimum a 2.5" focuser , so with 2" focuser it will not work, sorry
Posted 28 February 2013 - 09:29 AM
Posted 28 February 2013 - 04:47 PM
What I meant to ask is: "has this FR/FF been tried on a 127ED"?
I tried TV RFL-4087 with 2.5" custom adaptors and it didn't flatten the field so I am looking for a good FR/FF that is known to work with 127ED.
Posted 02 March 2013 - 05:47 AM
the reducer has a M63 x1 Thread and needs a threadet adapter for the scope

Today, it was announced that North Carolina retained its "AAA" rating by all three agencies, the highest credit rating available to state governments. Keys to the rating according to Fitch Ratings include a low debt burden, strong debt management practices, an improving economy, and one of the strongest pension funds in the nation.
"It's great news that North Carolina has retained its 'AAA' credit rating," said Governor McCrory. "Our attention to efficient spending practices, cash flow and low debt continue to prove that the state is financially stable. Our prudent and effective financial practices continue to provide a strong signal to companies thinking of relocating to North Carolina or those thinking of expanding."
North Carolina is one of 10 states in the country to have the highest rating by all three agencies, Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.
"One of my top priorities is protecting the state's 'AAA' bond rating," said State Treasurer Janet Cowell. "That rating keeps financing costs low and it signals to businesses looking to locate here that we are a state that's solid. I appreciate the strong partnership we have with the governor's administration and General Assembly in continuing conservative debt management and in funding our pension obligations, which are key to this top rating."

Hi everyone
Just wondering if there's a way (or a feature request) to quickly lock your Zimbra screen?
Sometimes if you login from another machine it locks any previous sessions with a password prompt.
Is there any way to do that rather than a full logout?
Say if you're stepping away from your desk it could be useful but I realise most people probably rely on the screen lock functionality of their OS.
Cheers, B

WASHINGTON – Big plans are in the works for the New Carrollton Metro station over the next few years.
The newest plan approved by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority calls for a 39-acre development around the station.
With the $1 billion project, WMATA hopes to bring residential, office, retail and hotel business to a 2 million to 4 million square foot space. If all goes according to plan, the project may eventually expand to 10 million square feet.
Bike paths and pedestrian walkways are also in the plans for the land surrounding the Metro station.
Two companies were chosen to oversee the development, which the Gazette reports is expected to bring 3,800 permanent jobs and 5,000 construction jobs in the next 15 years.
Officials say the plan should bring in $2 million each year to Prince George's County.

(WUSA9) -- It's happening more and more. Scammers are using misinformation about Obamacare to try to rip you off.
Kimberly Lankford from Kiplinger shared some of the red flags to look out for in this scam (see the video above).
In this case scammers are targeting seniors.
"The Affordable Care Act does little this year to change anything for Medicare beneficiaries. The donut hole for prescription drug coverage is closing but that's about it.
"But there are people making these calls and telling seniors that because of Obamacare they have to get a new Medicare care and can they provide personal information so they can send it to them. And this is a scam. Medicare is not going to call you. If they do need to reach you for something, they're going to send you a letter just like the I.R.S. does.
"But so many seniors are just afraid. They don't know that they don't need to do anything ... many states have gotten calls about this pretty much every day. The Federal Trade Commission is on it.
"If you have a question about anything like this, call 1-800- Medicare. Check anything out. But just know that they will not be calling you about this," said Lankford.
The other scam that we heard about are fake navigators and exchange sites that are out there just basically looking to rip you off.
"The thing is that all of the states, they're going to be having people who are going to be helping people sign up for health insurance. So a good thing. On the flip side, though, people are taking advantage of this and calling people up now even before the exchanges open on October 1 and saying 'you need to have health insurance, give me your credit card number, we'll provide you with a policy.' This is not correct.
"Go to healthcare.gov to get contact information for your state navigators and all of the people who are going to be helping you. In Maryland they've been doing a lot of outreach already. A lot of the state and local health departments are involved. So find out from the state the accurate people to talk with instead of these random people calling up tries to get your credit card information," explained Lankford.
Some general red flags that should sound alarm bells in your head asking for credit card information?
"Asking for credit card information, social security number, bank information. Those are all things that the people have done when they've been trying to get the social security cards or when they say that you have to get a new Medicare card. When they start to ask things that just doesn't seem to add up and especially if they call you out of the blue. None of these people are going to be calling you out of the blue. When you need to seek help, go to medicare.gov or healthcare.gov, go to your state health insurance department," advised Lankford.

Roger Walters knew all too well what he could have been missing when he left his post as Colorado Mesa University's women's basketball coach earlier this year.
"Oh, yeah," the Rifle High School boys basketball coach said. "Don't think I didn't know that."
Walters, who had served as the Mavericks' coach for four seasons, jumped at the opportunity to coach the Rifle boys when the position came open this past spring. He left behind a Mesa squad which, headed into this weekend's games at New Mexico Highlands and Western New Mexico, is 20-1 overall, 16-1 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play, and is ranked seventh as of the Feb. 5 USA Today/WBCA Top 25 poll.
But Walters, whose Rifle Bears have won six consecutive games after a 1-6 start in Class 4A Western Slope League play, recruited every one of the players on the Mavs' roster. He struggled with the decision to leave when the chance to come back to his home town presented itself, but it's a decision he doesn't regret.
"You get real attached to the kids," Walters said. "We knew they were going to be really, really good, and I told the girls that when I left. But I also told them that doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it's always right."
Walters' primary reason for coming back to coach at Rifle was to be closer to his family. His time spent away from home, which included recruiting trips, home and away games and that long commute from Rifle to Grand Junction, took its toll over time. Walters and his wife, Christy, have two daughters, Taylor and Elly.
The end result of that mileage he put on his vehicle, however, is presenting itself in Mesa's success this season. The Mavs' 18-0 start was their best in school history, and three players are averaging double figures in scoring. Kelsey Sigl (17.1 points per game) is the team's leading scorer, and Katrina Selsor (14.4) and Sharaya Selsor (12.8), graduates of Glenwood Springs High School, are second and third.
Walters described his first season - when the school was still named Mesa State College - as "survival," since he was coaching with players who were left over from a team which had finished 6-21 overall. This season, first-year Mesa coach Taylor Wagner doesn't have that problem.
"My big thing when I got here was to have some credibility," Wagner said. "Then we were able to beat Simon Fraser and Montana State-Billings, which was ranked No. 18 in the country at the time [at a tournament in St. George, Utah] right off the bat. That showed a lot about what we have."
There was a three-pronged formula to what Walters and his coaching staff sought when they went out to get players: They have to be intelligent, hard working and talented. One of the things Walters said he was most proud of was his team's academic success, as the Mavericks went from having the lowest grade point average of any team on campus to having the school's highest GPA by the time he left.
"As long as everyone buys into that team concept, intelligence flows into everything else," Walters said.
Granted, Walters had an impressive high school coaching resume already when he came back to Rifle. He had a 94-59 record as the Bears' coach from 1995 to 2002. At Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale, the Rams went 115-17 and reached the 3A state championship game in 2005 and 2006.
This year's Rifle team is 9-8 overall and 6-6 in 4A Western Slope League play after Saturday night's 53-43 win, and the Bears host rival Glenwood Springs on Friday.
And even though he's missing the players he recruited to Mesa, there's plenty of other things he's glad he hasn't missed.
"I haven't missed a single one of my youngest daughter's games," Walters said. "As far as what those [Mesa] girls are doing, I'm absolutely thrilled for them. I'm just admiring from afar."

We have been using Zimbra now for a couple of months. We are very happy with the way it works, but using it I came accross some quirks that could be improved so here I share with you guys :
1) Copy/Paste should work with every type of document. For example, co-workers aren't able to copy paste a piece of excel document (some tables for example), the tables won't appear, and sometimes not even the text in it. I suppose this is a formating problem, but it should be possible, it's a big functionality hog for us here.
Same with images, or even attachements, you can't just copy paste them inside de document.
I suppose that for the webonly version of Zimbra that could be difficult to implement, but maybe in the Desktop edition where you have things running localy, that could be resolved.
2) Once a document attached (or copy pasted inside the mail), to be able to edit it and send it, but without modifying the original. If think that when outlook attaches a mail, it directly creates the temporary file that will be joined to the mail, and when you are editing it, it does it directly on the temp file and not the original.
3) In the desktop edition to have all the different modules of Zimbra available (Documents, IM, future Briefcase). I know that you can't sync all this, but at least having them and beeing able to use them if you are online. If your are not, just get a message telling you that you are offline.
Maybe this will be on in the next release of ZM Desktop.
4) When you open a document attached to a mail, not right away download it to be able to read it, but give the option of opening it stored in the virtual memory, or download it. (I have experienced this on mac mostly)
5) You can empty you inbox folder without having to delete manualy every mail in it. Beeing able to do this with ANY folder would be great.
6) Future Briefcase, you have to upload the files you want to be available later on. A solution like the one in Alfresco would be amazing. You can just add folders that are real shares on the local network where your server is. And beeing able to navigate in different folders. That way, you can access you network share from anywhere, and you don't have to worry having to upload something or having missed on file in the upload before leaving, and everything would be synced always.
Also, beeing able to upload from other places to the server of course.
For editing the files, doing it localy is not a mess... but then you would have to upload again, then overwriting the file, etc...
Some sort of WebDav folder thing could be great, so you edit the file like you where at work.
This is a lot asking I know, but the Alfresco type of navigation is imho the best way to go. You always have your content (all of it) without having to worry about having uploaded or not. The opensource version have this... maybe you could check this out.
7) Zimlets should be synced also with the Desktop version, so you get exactly the same config.
Have more ideas but they won't come to my mind right now... I will keep this post to date with submissions from people here so you people can check it out.
Thanks for the great piece of software that Zimbra is.

Any advice besides watching him? Think he'll pass it or will we need intervention? He's a 30 lb. French Bulldog.
No joke, I watched a dog pass over six feet of carpet (with a little help), I think your dog will be fine.
No, I was not the guy that helped the dog.

My dog ate a whole wheel of cheese, then pooped in the refrigerator...he will be fine.
--Luck of the Cyrish--
Vets can also provide you with a lube you can feed your dog which may help him pass it easier if it was eaten whole.
Yeah TOAST!!!
My dog (10 lb dachsund/chihuahua/terrier mutt) ate the entire male end of the clamp on his collar. Roughly the same amount of plastic as a guitar pick. He did chew it up a bit though. Not sure if yours chewed or just swallowed it whole.
If that little bastard can pass it, I think your 30lb bulldog will do just fine.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

Oh, and my dog ate all my easter candy one time.

I bet you werent even mad. sounds amazing!
Hooray for Metaphors!
I had a lab that ate my TV remote. He spit the batteries out but pulverized the rest. I could see pieces and parts in the back yard for a few days.

Dang! Beat me to it!
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
You can give him some salt water or peroxide to induce vomiting if you are concerned. I would contact a veterinarian before proceeding though.
Back in the 80's my dad and I used to collect baseball cards, back when the cards used to still come with gum in the packs. We were in the process of opening a box that had about 30 packs in it and we were putting the gum on the table. My dad and I left the table for a minute and when we came back our 15 lb mutt had eaten all the gum. How he didn't die still amazes me to this day.
Just talked to my wife, who is a vet. She said that you should monitor the dog closely for vomiting, diarrhea, etc. She agrees that dogs eat things they aren't supposed to all of the time but every once in a while, something like this can turn out bad.

My cousin's lab once ate about a baseball sized rock and still was able to get it out somehow, so I think a 30 lb dog eating a guitar pick will be just fine!
Thanks CW. My googling revealed some sad stories including one involving something as simple as a bread tie tab thing.

America's Most Endangered Rivers for 2013: Niobrara River
Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming
At Risk: Property, crops, and public safety
Threat: Sediment build-up and flooding
The Niobrara River is an oasis for paddlers, anglers, and wildlife. A major tributary of the Missouri River, the lower portion of the Niobrara is protected as a federal Wild and Scenic River. The Lower Niobrara is increasingly threatened by too much sediment backing up in the upper reaches of Lewis and Clark Lake behind the Missouri River's Gavins Point Dam.
The sediment is raising the level of the Niobrara and threatening local communities with flooding. To safeguard the Wild and Scenic Niobrara and its communities, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must improve sediment management within the Missouri River system and must prioritize funding for this critical issue in their Fiscal Year 2015 budget.
The Threat
Dams and other flood control structures built in the mid-1900's on the Missouri River have caused sediment to accumulate in the reservoir system. When sediment builds up on the riverbed it raises river levels, creating flooding issues for tributaries like the Niobrara River. At one time, most of that sediment was flushed out of the system to the Mississippi River where it helped build coastal wetlands along the Louisiana Delta— keeping saltwater intrusion at bay. Now, reservoirs behind dams act as sediment traps, slowing the flow of the river and allowing sediment to settle, accumulate, and consequently deplete reservoir flood storage capacity. At the same time, water management for navigation using water released from dams has caused lowering of the riverbed below Gavins Point Dam. Without sediment replenishment, it takes more water to serve downstream authorized purposes.
The sediment build-up is so extreme at the confluence of the Niobrara and Missouri Rivers that the overall level of the local water table has increased substantially. This leads to flooded cropland and basements, and greatly impacts boating and other recreation. Flooding due to sedimentation forced relocation of the Village of Niobrara in 1973. Downstream from the confluence, Lewis and Clark Lake is expected to lose 50 percent of its water storage capacity by 2045 due to sediment accumulation in the reservoir— to date, it has already lost 30 percent of capacity.
As the sediment builds within the system, the Lower Niobrara is slowly losing the seeps, springs, riparian forests, prairies, and canyons that characterize this Wild and Scenic River. Only a few of the great cottonwood trees in the confluence area have survived the recent sustained high waters. The USACE has purchased thousands of acres of riverside land to limit future liability, but this is not the long-term answer. The underlying sediment problem must be addressed now to secure a future for this Midwestern treasure.
What Must Be Done
Conflicts among authorized uses of the Missouri River have made reaching a solution to this problem a challenge. The USACE has released several studies outlining various alternatives for managing the increasing sedimentation on the lower Niobrara. These studies use regulated flows of the Missouri River to flush the accumulating sediment below Gavins Point Dam.
Now, the USACE must develop and implement a sediment management plan for the area of the confluence of the Niobrara and Missouri rivers. This plan must implement the minimum flow and the shortest duration needed to transport sediment while minimizing downstream flooding risks. The plan should also include appropriate modifications of Gavins Point Dam and methods to suspend existing sediment deposits.
Furthermore, the USACE must dedicate funding in its Fiscal Year 2015 budget to implement this plan. Without such a plan in place, this one-of-a-kind river will be buried, and its Wild and Scenic qualities will be gone forever. There is increasing urgency to preserve the economic, recreational, natural, and historical assets of the Missouri River Basin for future generations.

They say that you can judge someone's character by how they treat you when you can do them no good: Outgoing dean regrets remarks made in interview [with video] - News
If you change jobs just leave and be glad they cant follow you. And when you consider new employment scratch up a list of things that you need/want to have to get by with. If the job/place doesn't fit "don't go there" in the first place.
Marge: You can always go back to the Nuclear Plant, right?
Homer: Not the way I quit!
Thanks for the link Transient. This has been the talk of the campus the last few days. Yesterday, a department chair at ISU, also a big Cyclone fan, told me that Pollard is livid about the "big time football" comment on the list - and has or will be contacting Achterberg himself before she leaves town. She came here from Penn State (one of Geoffrey's old buddies).
The same department chair told me she was "asked to leave, and to look for new opportunities" a few months ago...

Hmm maybe a personal note to her is in order, especially to the fine folks at Ohio State too.
Thought I'd throw this out there. I considered tOSU in my college search, and I clearly remember crossing them off my list after visiting and the faculty member I met with wouldn't shut up about his research, the advisor kept talking about the research she was doing, and a good chunk of the "prospective students" Q & A session talked about--yep, you guessed it--research. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for research and advancements, but not at the expense of the students paying for an education. I got the feeling that the people in the dept I was interested in were more concerned about their research than teaching students.
Just my $.02 on the situation.
Cant argue with a few things she said, but she doesnt need to bad mouth Ames and ISU. Why not talk about the positives of OSU. Good riddance.
Lesson learned a long time ago - never burn bridges. You have nothing to gain from it and you never know when you'll need help/run into a situation where a past employment comes in handy.
Diversity? Really?
I wince when new employees bad mouth their previous employment. It really puts a bad taste in my mouth and it sets off red flags for me regarding the type of person they might be.
It usually becomes clear within weeks or months of their new employment that THEY were probably a bigger part of the problem, not the employer or colleagues.
That said, I'm surprised how uncomfortable and inarticulate she seems in front of this group.

My thought as well. And yet...they hired her.
Can't get it to download, for some reason. But, I'm assuming she's some "academic" who trashes ISU because they aren't freakishly PC enough for her?
I tell you, academics just tick me off. I have never met a group of more narrow-minded bigoted, frankly STUPID people in my life. Most academics qualify under the "couldn't pour pee out of a boot with the instructions on the heel" category, as far as I'm concerned.
As recently as 6 months ago, I was seriously considering becoming one, too...
I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details
She is the now former Dean of the College of Human Sciences, and has taken a similar position at tOSU.
When the word research is stated, OSU does not come to my mind. What do they research at OSU? Politics? Frats? Rust Belt economics?
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I guess if i was the interviewer i would see her "top ten" list as "these are the reasons i don't like my current job" but what makes you think that if she was to leave tOSU she wouldn't do it again. And if size matters, then what does Harvard, Duke and Standford have to offer? Because tOSU is huge school compared to most.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Steubenville's girls put on a couple of clinics Saturday to capture the Class 4A championship in the Wheeling Hospital Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Tournament.
The first came at the free-throw line where Big Red knocked down 11 straight during the final minutes of the contest played inside the Health and Physical Education Building at Ohio University's Eastern Campus.
Those points, coupled with a sorely needed triple by Taylor Young, helped the event's top seed overcome a fourth-quarter deficit and dispose of third-seeded Martins Ferry, 45-36.
The second clinic took place on the defensive end. Phil Casinelli's club held the Riders scoreless for the final 2:56, forced several turnovers and recorded two key steals, one by Abby Taylor and the other by Dominque Wilson.
"I can't be more excited for the girls," Casinelli after Big Red earned its first OVAC title since 2007. "They did this. I have the easy job, they have the hard job, going out there and playing hard for 32 minutes. They deserve everything they got here."
After Meghan Rose sank both ends of a 1-and-1, Martins Ferry was up 36-31 with 2:56 left. That's when Big Red went to work.
Young cut the margin to three when she swished a 3-ball. Mytia Barker was fouled on Big Red's next possession and nailed them both. Taylor swiped the inbounds pass and drew a foul as she went up strong. Her makes from the stripe gave Casinelli's crew the lead for good at 38-36.
Wilson got her steal when Ferry took the ball to the offensive end. That led to Hannah Masloski going two for two from the line. Barker and Lysaih Rice were the next Big Red players to drill freebies. Emiley Masloski ended the deciding 14-0 run by going one for two.
"Obviously, we took a deep breath in the fourth quarter," Casinelli said. "Those free throws in a close game are the ones you magnify. I told the girls to put each possession in the past. You could go 0 for 10 from the line but when you make those free throws late, those are the ones people will remember. We did a great job there."
Before hitting 11 straight, Big Red was 1-for-5 during the final frame.
When asked to describe what happened during the final minutes, Martins Ferry's Lindsay Coyne simply said "the game of basketball."
"They hit a big 3 and made their free throws," she said. "The ball went in for them and it didn't go in for us."
As Casinelli pointed out, Big Red "had trouble scoring in the third quarter and early fourth (his girls were just 4-for-18 from the floor during the second half).
"Playing good defense kept us in the game," he said. "I told the girls with about four minutes left that we were OK. We picked it up on the defensive end (Big Red applied full court pressure), got some steals and were able to end the game on a 14-0 run."
A conventional three-point play by Rice allowed Big Red to grab an 11-9 lead after one. The quarter featured five lead changes. Rice, just a freshman, finished the stanza with five points, two rebounds and a pair of block. Ferry senior Jessica Kinney, meanwhile, scored seven of her team's nine points.
Two triples by Emiley Masloski (the second coming via the bank-in route) allowed Big Red to grab a 22-16 advantage at the intermission.
Ferry opened the third with an 8-0 run (Kinney scoring six of the eight) to grab a 24-22 lead. Taylor scored off a feed from Hannah Masloski to square the score. The Riders went back on top 27-24 before Emiley Masloski sank two free throws and Rice scored after grabbing an offensive rebound. Big Red took a 28-27 lead into the final eight minutes.
"It was a real roller coaster ride," Casinelli noted. "Obviously the first half was nip and tuck. We felt good going into halftime. We knew they were going to make their runs but we thought we had control.
"Then we went stagnant on offense. We weren't even getting looks. Defense kept us in the game. We don't have a senior but we are a mature team. We didn't panic; we stay composed and executed down the stretch. We got key rebounds and key free throws."
Emiley Masloski paced Big Red's balanced scoring attack with 12. Rice finished with 11 (she also recorded three steals and two blocks) and Barker eight. Big Red hauled down 27 rebounds, Barker collecting 11 and Rice nine.
"Lysaih is very athletic and she makes thing happen," Casinelli said. "When she makes a mistake, she is able to recover because of her length. We need her on the boards and we need her to guard people. We try to make things simple for her because she is a freshman, but on the other hand, we now expect that out of her.
"She has been playing great for us and she's gotten more minutes since Emiley's injury. She is an inside presence and really gets after it."
Casinelli added Rice, Brittany Body and Taylor all guarded Ferry's Kinney and "that's a tough task to play an outstanding player on the defensive end then come back and do what you need to do offensively."
Kinney took game scoring honors with 25. She also hauled down eight of her team's 34 rebounds.
"I want to congratulate my girls," Coyne said. "I'm very proud of them. They're playing great basketball. They play hard and gritty. I feel bad for them because I know how hard they play."
Ferry, now 13-9, will open Division III sectional play Saturday against Steubenville Catholic Central.
"We're peaking at the right time," Coyne added. "It's 0-0 and anyone's ball game starting next Saturday."
The OVAC game marked the third meeting of the year between the clubs. Ferry won the first game 61-59 and Big Red the second, 52-49.
Big Red begins Division II tournament play Wednesday, tangling with East Liverpool. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. at Union Local.
"We're a mature group of girls," Casinelli said. "We get along and chemistry is huge. We know our roles and sometimes our roles differ depending on the game. We stick together and that's the most important thing about our team."

The Renner Moves
February 8, 2011 09:18:00 Posted at February 8, 2011 09:18:00
There are a few you Renner quiverers who frequently demand more Renner gossip on this blog. Specifically, I think there's an Olga who's really into him? Maybe I've mixed up the names. But I am certain that there's a small but ardent group for whom Jeremy Renner is the big want. Full Story

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Adrian Peterson came up just short in achieving his goal. His team did not.
The superstar running back fell nine yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's NFL record for most rushing yards in a season, but still put up 199 on a career-best 34 carries while scoring two touchdowns to help the Minnesota Vikings earn a berth in the NFC Playoffs with a thrilling 37-34 last-second victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Peterson's final rush -- a 26-yard burst to the Green Bay 11 with three seconds remaining -- set up Blair Walsh's 29-yard field goal that snapped a 34-34 deadlock and earned Minnesota (10-6) the conference's No. 6 playoff seed after closing out the regular season with four straight wins.
Walsh's kick also forced a rematch between the two NFC North rivals in next week's Wild Card Round, with Green Bay (11-5) denied a chance to claim the No. 2 seed and an opening-round bye after San Francisco defeated Arizona on Sunday.
Exactly one year to the day of his surgery to repair a potentially career- threatening knee injury, Peterson finished his remarkable 2012 campaign with 2,097 rushing yards to become the seventh player in league history to surpass the 2,000-yard barrier.
Christian Ponder aided Minnesota's cause by matching a personal best with three touchdown passes, including one to Peterson, while going an efficient 16-of-28 for 234 yards without a turnover. Jarius Wright finished with 90 receiving yards and a score on three catches for a Vikings squad that will reach the playoffs just one year removed from a 3-13 season.
Aaron Rodgers threw for four touchdowns while amassing 365 yards on 28-of-40 passing for Green Bay, leading the Packers out of a 13-point first-half hole to tie the game twice in the fourth quarter.
Greg Jennings hauled in two of Rodgers' scoring strikes while recording 120 yards on eight grabs.

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - There will be a new Western Conference
champion after the Memphis Grizzlies eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder in
another close battle at Chesapeake Energy Arena Wednesday.
The Grizzlies used their stout defense and double-doubles from Zach Randolph
and Mike Conley to take Game 5, 88-84, and advance to the franchise's first
conference final.
Randolph poured in 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds but missed two late free
throws with the Grizzlies holding a two-point lead.
Kevin Durant had a chance to tie the game with time winding down and missed an
open 15-footer, and Tony Allen sealed the outcome at the foul line.
Conley finished with 13 points, 11 assists and seven boards for the fifth-
seeded Grizzlies, who won the final four games of the series after losing the
Durant, relied on more heavily after All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook
went down with a knee injury last round, felt the burden in the ouster as he
connected on just 5-of-21 from the field for 21 points.
Oklahoma City, the West's top seed, averaged a mere 89.6 points in the series
-- 16.1 points less than its regular season average.

August is here which means Street Fare is near! (Yes, we're poets and we know it) We can't believe this is already our fourth year shutting down Davis Street in front of our Portland Pub for this amazing event, bringing together some of Portland's finest food carts, brilliant local indie bands, and our favorite summer brews.
Over the years we've had quite the variety of food carts take part in the festivities including The Grilled Cheese Grill, Oregon Ice Works, Flavour Spot, Potato Champion, EuroTrash and more. We're excited to welcome back PDX671 and Touch Down's BBQ this year and look forward to having newcomers The Angry Unicorn, Cheese & Crack, Churros Locos, Savor The Chill, and Garcelon's add their twist, or spice, if you will.
Does anyone out there remember how cool it was to circle around and listen to Langhorne Slim and Chris Funk and then watch Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside headline the first Street Fare in 2010? Amazing as they were, year number two was not to be outdone as Hillstomp brought their bucket thumping energy to the street followed by The Builders and The Butchers marching through the crowd for a memorable grand finale. And last year we were honored to have Eric D. Johnson and the Fruit Bats join us in the 100+ degree heat after working with him early in the summer on our Deschutes River Recordings. If you haven't listened to his remake of The Byrds' "Ballad of Easy Rider" you've got to check it out!
What do we have up our sleeves this year you ask? How about The Minus Five, featuring former members of R.E.M., and Hook & Anchor! These two great bands from the Portland area will be joined by a busking mariachi band and bucket drummer, Funk Plastic. We do love our bucket drummers!
So mark your calendars, check out the food & beer pairings, and we'll look forward to seeing you on Thursday, August 15th for our 4th annual block party event that raises money for the Meals on Wheels People. All proceeds will help provide hot, nutritious meals for Portland's elderly in need. You can purchase tickets in advance online or pay at the door. Either way, we hope you can come down and join us for one of our favorite events of the summer. And if you do, don't forget to share your experience using #pdxstreetfare on Twitter and Instagram. Cheers!

Sky Show tickets going fast
If you're planning on coming out tonight, please get here early. We are expecting a sellout by 5 p.m. Yep, tickets are going fast and only a scattered few remain.
If you've bought your tickets already, remember that lines will still be long for will call windows because of the high volume of tickets which were bought ahead of time. We encourage you to arrive early as well, to avoid waiting in monster lines or worse, missing part of the game.
There is plenty to do inside Kauffman before the game starts. The Royals batting practice runs until 5:45 and the Giants take batting practice until 6:30. You can also cruise the concourses, check out the Royals Hall-of-Fame which will induct a new member next weekend or check out the Renovation display. Plus, there is the scoreboard.

Whether crocheted or knit, the hat will vary in finished length according to your tension. Therefore the pattern states to work even until almost all the yarn is used. The largest size will be shorter in length than the smallest size because more stitches have been cast on or chained in the beginning. To make a longer hat or a slouch hat, we suggest purchasing an additional ball.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy (Level 2)
SIZE: 6-12 mos, 12-24 mos, Child 2-6, Child 7-8, Child 9-12
Circumference 14 (16, 17, 18, 19) in. (35.5 (40.5, 43, 45.5, 48.5) cm), to fit approximately 6-12 months (1-2 year(s), 2-5 years, 5-7 years, 7-12 years)
Crochet this fun-colored hat with just one ball of Keppi. Click here to see it in other colorways.
13 hdc + 16 rnds = about 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
13 hdc + 16 rnds = about 4 in. (10 cm).
HAT Leaving a long beg tail, very loosely ch 47 (51, 57, 59, 63). Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across - 46 (50, 56, 58, 62) sts. Note: You will now join the beg and the end of Row 1 to make a ring. Rnd 1: Do not turn. Being careful not to twist sts, sc in first st of Row 1 and each st around. Place marker in the first st for the beg of rnd. Move the marker up as each rnd is completed. Rnds 2 and 3: Sc in each st around. Rnd 4: Hdc in each st around. Repeat Rnd 4 until almost all yarn has been used. Top of Hat Decrease Rnd:*(Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all 5 loops on hook; repeat from * around - 23 (25, 28, 29, 31) sts. Remove marker and fasten off. Thread ending tail into blunt needle, then through sts of last rnd, pull tight and knot securely.
FINISHING Thread both of the yarn strands of pompom into blunt needle and weave to inside of the top of Hat, then to outside of Hat and through pompom - this stitch stabilizes the pompom. Draw strands back through to wrong side of Hat and knot securely on inside of Hat. Use beg yarn tail to sew beg and end of Row 1 together. Weave in ends.
