PUBLISHED March 19, 2012 0 1 / 8 Sea of Stars Pinpricks of light on the shore seem to mirror stars above in an undated picture taken on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. The biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton—and now scientists think they know how some of these life-forms create their brilliant blue glow. Various species of phytoplankton are known to bioluminesce, and their lights can be seen in oceans all around the world, said marine biologist and bioluminescence expert Woodland Hastings of Harvard University. (Also see "Glowing Sea Beasts: Photos Shed Light on Bioluminescence.")"I've been across the Atlantic and Pacific, and I've never seen a spot that wasn't bioluminescent or a night that [bioluminescence] couldn't be seen," Hastings said.The most common type of marine bioluminescence is generated by phytoplankton known as dinoflagellates. A recent study co-authored by Hastings has for the first time identified a special channel in the dinoflagellate cell membrane that responds to electrical signals—offering a potential mechanism for how the algae create their unique illumination.—Ker Than Photograph by Doug Perrine, Alamy Lights on the Water Bioluminescent phytoplankton light up rolling surf during a so-called red tide event along the coast of Leucadia, California, in September 2011. Red tides—often rusty-hued in daylight—can occur all over the world and are caused by large-scale algae blooms.Some red tides, like the one shown here, contain phytoplankton that emit bursts of light when agitated.In the recent study, published last October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team confirmed the existence of channels in dinoflagellates that allow only protons—positively charged particles—to pass through. (Related: "Proton Smaller Than Thought—May Rewrite Laws of Physics.")"The newly discovered channel had just the right properties needed to trigger the flash," said study co-author Thomas DeCoursey, an electrophysiologist at Rush University in Chicago. "If you replaced the dinoflagellate channel with the [corresponding cell] channel from humans or mice or snails, it could not do the job."The study authors propose that, as dinoflagellates float, movement in the surrounding water sends electrical impulses around a proton-filled compartment inside the microorganisms.The electrical pulses open the voltage-sensitive proton channels, triggering a series of chemical reactions, which ultimately activate a protein called luciferase that produces the neon blue light. Photograph by Mike Blake, Reuters Landing Strip A sailor stands watch on the back of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson as bioluminescent microorganisms illuminate the surrounding water.The glowing blue water is easily visible from the air—something pilots use to their advantage, Harvard's Hastings said.Aircraft carrier-based jet pilots "often follow the trail of luminescence left in the wake of their ship to find their way back after a night mission," he said. (Related: "As Jet Fuel Prices Soar, a Green Option Nears the Runway.") Photograph courtesy James R. Evans, U.S. Navy Sparkling Sands Sand along a beach in the Florida Everglades glows with a soft blue light emitted by countless microscopic phytoplankton washed ashore.Similar phytoplankton are found in lakes, but they aren't bioluminescent. "That's one of the enigmas about bioluminescence: Why has it never evolved in fresh water?" Hastings said.(Also see "Large, 'Glamorous' New Glowing Squid Species Found.") Photograph by Russ Taylor Red (and Blue) Tide Bioluminescent phytoplankton give the incoming surf an electric blue glow along a beach in Leucadia, California, in September 2011.Some dinoflagellates can produce toxins that are harmful to fish, humans, and other creatures. Scientists think bioluminescence may also be a form of defense for the life-forms.Much like a rattlesnake's tail, the light could act as "a signal that alerts a predator that it might be a bad idea to eat this prey," Hastings said. (Also see "Coral Algae Have 'Eyes,' Study Says.")According to another idea, called the "burglar alarm" theory, bioluminescent phytoplankton use their light to hopefully attract the attention of secondary predators, which might attack any creature trying to consume the marine microbes. Photograph by Mike Blake, Reuters From Sea to Shining Sea Bioluminescent phytoplankton glitter on the incoming tide along an island beach in the Maldives.Dinoflagellates—the subjects of the recent study—are single-celled organisms, "but some of them are big enough that you can actually see them with the naked eye," Rush University's DeCoursey said.(Related: "Giant 'Amoebas' Found in Deepest Place on Earth.") Photograph from Travelart/Alamy Luminous Tendrils Glowing phytoplankton create clusters and filaments of light as they wash ashore in an undated photograph taken from the Lakshadweep Islands off India.Harvard's Hastings, who has spent his life studying marine bioluminescence, encourages people to go out to a beach at night to witness the living light show for themselves. Pictures, he says, can't truly capture the experience.For instance, photos tend to blur the points of light together, he said. But "it's very much a phenomenon caused by individual cells."

2012 State of Logistics: Slow and steady
July 01, 2012 - LM Editorial
When The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) released its 23rd annual State of Logistics Report (SoL) late last month, logistics and transportation management professionals were again advised to be patient: industry growth will slowly, but surely crawl back as the macro-economic picture improves.
The report, authored for the past eight years by Rosalyn Wilson, president of Delcan, Inc., an engineering, planning, management and technology firm, reveals that total U.S. business logistics costs in 2011 rose to $1.28 trillion, a 6.6 percent increase from the previous year, accounting for 8.5 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
"The economy improved in more areas than it retreated over the course of my reporting," says Wilson, "making me hopeful that there would be some genuine good news to report for 2011."
But there really wasn't. In fact, Wilson calls 2011 "a rather unremarkable year" for logistics statistics.
Consumer confidence trended upward since the 2010 report was unveiled last June, leading consumers to spend on items beyond necessities. "The negative side of that is that many dipped into savings or extended their credit," she says.
During this time, Wilson says that businesses demonstrated their expectations of a stronger economy in 2011 by adding new workers and stepping up manufacturing, which continued into the first half of 2012. "The manufacturing sector of the economy has been in expansion mode for over 27 consecutive months, but just barely," she adds.
Key takeaways
The Annual State of Logistics Report represents a snapshot of the economy over the past year, the logistics industry's key trends, and the total U.S. logistics costs for the previous year. The report also examines which sectors of the industry are recovering, which are facing challenges, and then highlights areas that can be targeted for increased investment.
While somewhat "unremarkable," according to Wilson, here are some of the high level takeaways from 2011:
Trucking, which comprises 77 percent of the transportation component, posted a 6.2 percent rise, but the real leader was the railroad sector which saw a 15.3 percent increase.
Declines in manufacturing, financial difficulties in the European Union, China's slowing economic growth, and shrinking import/exports all have the potential to stall momentum in the industry.
Inventory carrying costs increased 7.6 percent. The increase in carrying costs was due to higher costs for taxes, obsolescence, deprecation and insurance.
The result of higher inventories and historically low interest rates was a 31.4 percent drop in the interest component of carrying costs.
Air, water, and pipeline revenues declined in 2011, while railroad, truck, and forwarders experienced revenue growth.
- One of the leading manufacturing sectors was motor vehicles and parts, which grew 17.7 percent during the final three months of 2011. Americans spent more on vehicles, and companies restocked their supplies at a fairly robust pace.
Richard Thompson, executive vice president of the global supply chain practice for Jones Lang LaSalle, served as panel moderator at the SoL press conference at the National Press Club in Washington. For him, the SoL represents both a legacy and a "baseline that provides shippers with a year-to-year metric on the health of logistics."
For example, said Thompson, the report validates that with overall revenue 15.3 percent higher than 2010, railroads gained market share over the course of 2011.
"This was especially true in intermodal since it didn't experience capacity problems faced by the trucking sector," says Thompson. "In fact, trucking companies are also using intermodal rail to help offset the impacts of driver shortages and the costs of acquiring and maintaining new equipment." And in spite of tightening capacity and an overall decline in volume, he adds that trucking rates were still up 5 percent to 15 percent over the course of 2011.
Even with the air cargo sector's record year for exports, the report shows that the industry still experienced a decline, with domestic air cargo revenue down more than 3 percent compared with less than a percent decline in international revenue.
The challenge facing the ocean container industry is even more disconcerting, says Thompson. "The carriers just keep building new vessels to keep up with competitors, when they really should be limiting capacity." Thompson attributes this behavior to a holdover from the days when the mantra for ocean carriers was "grow or die."
"But what they're really doing," adds Thompson, "is growing excess capacity, thereby contributing to rate erosion, service declines, and operational losses."

Does anyone know of a good taxidermist that's within a 3 hour drive from Casper? I am looking for a good big game taxidermist, and also for a good fish taxidermist. If you could post pictures that would be great.
Does anyone know of a good taxidermist that's within a 3 hour drive from Casper? I am looking for a good big game taxidermist, and also for a good fish taxidermist. If you could post pictures that would be great.
Black Hills Taxidermy in Shell is over 3 hours away from Casper but I have heard good things about that taxidermist. Also, Nature's Design in Cody is more like 4+ hours away but they are supposed to be great.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Timber Ridge Taxidermy in Ralston. Its fifteen minutes east of Cody. Does great work.
Big Bear taxidermy in Ranchester, wy which is just north of sheridan does outstanding work. They do everything from big game to fish to birds. I just took a duck there last year and my cousin has been doing business with them for years now. His bear mount will scare the crap out of you it looks so real when your not expectiing it to be around the corner. They have a website and you can get their info there.
I've driven by Big Bear time and time again but have never went in. Just checked out the website, and I'm impressed! Not only do the mounts look really good, his pricing is very nice too.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
The prices at big bear are great for the extremely great quality. I was in about a month ago and he had a nice Canadian moose and some huge elk in there. There are also some big mulies in there. It would be worth the time just to go in and check them out.
I definitely agree with Big Bear Taxidermy. They do awesome work!
Trails West in Rawlins does good work. He does some of the best antelope mounts I've ever seen. He also did a mountain lion for me that looks great... very reasonable prices.
Lynn Stewart in Dubois does great work. He is contracted by Cabelas to do their mounts. He produces world class heads!
I have to Agee with Lynn Stewart. Great guy. Exceptional taxidermist. Has done a grizz. Caribou. And some local stuff for me. Highly recommended

Seaports: U.S. ocean cargo gateways must be upgraded
July 17, 2011
The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) recently commended the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and its chairman, Cong. John Mica (R-Fla.), for rolling out a comprehensive, multi-year transportation reauthoriztion proposal that is focused on improving our nation's transportation infrastructure and, for the first time, includes a maritime title.
"We strongly support the legislation's goal of streamlining the project planning and delivery process for both surface transportation and navigation projects, as the current systems unnecessarily take too long, increase costs, and delay project benefits," said Kurt Nagle, AAPA president and CEO.
As we have noted repeatedly, national security is also a key component of this kind of funding.
"We also applaud Chairman Mica and his committee for including a title specifically addressing maritime and port related transportation infrastructure in this legislation, a major step that recognizes that America's ports, and the connections to them on the land and waterside, are critical links in our nation's overall transportation system. Investments in America's port infrastructure and intermodal connections – both land and waterside – are strongly in the federal interest and provide an opportunity to bolster the country's economic and employment recovery and our long term prosperity." Nagle added.
The proposed maritime title contains several policy provisions supported by AAPA, including: a provision to promote full use of the Harbor Maintenance Tax for its intended purpose of maintaining federal navigation channels; provisions to encourage greater utilization of our marine highways to help address highway congestion; and, provisions to improve the project planning and delivery process.
Overall, the legislation seeks to narrow the focus of programs and policies to those most in the federal interest. AAPA looks forward to reviewing the details of the draft legislation and hopes that, as it continues to advance, provisions focused on freight transportation mobility will be key components of a final bill.
"Improving the freight transportation system, including port related infrastructure and the connections into and out of ports, helps strengthen our nation's international competitiveness and our ability to accommodate trade growth," said Nagle. "As Congress looks to address priorities that are in the greatest federal interest and that provide America with the most sizable returns, we believe that a higher prioritization for investments in the freight transportation system will pay huge dividends toward improving economic prosperity."

We are currently trying to evaluate the possibility of using Zimbra in the following manner:
- Zimbra box acts as workgroup server
- Zimbra box integrates with existing IMAP servers
- The web client, in a webmail context, retrieves all e-mails at server mail.domain, and authenticates user via imap login.
- Zimbra does not host any e-mail or provides any POP3/IMAP service, nor provides any filtering, as it is not MX for anything.
So basically, we want it to provide groupware/webmail, on top of existing e-mail structure.
Can this be achieved? Or is Zimbra completely dependant on it's own mail services?
We are currently also looking at another solution (Atmail, www.atmail.com), which we already know provides all that I mentioned.
Thank you,

Gardening jobs
Garden type
Most gardeners, including myself, are surprised by the diversity of the Wisteria varieties. Wisteria is the generic and common name for several species of woody climbing plants from the pea family (Fabaceae). Wisteria comprises around ten different species.
The clematis is a popular plant. And it is easy to see why. Once you have discovered the elegant charms of this abundantly flowering, vigorous climber, you too will be clematis crazy.
Climbing plants, climbing roses, climbing fruit bushes, climbing shrubs – there is so much choice if you want to liven up a wall, fence or pergola. This forms an attractive feature in a large garden, but it is an excellent option for small gardens too.
Honeysuckle (Lonicera) is a climbing shrub – more accurately a family of climbing shrubs – that is found in Europe, China, Asia and the United States, so it is very widespread. This climber is not self-clinging and has to wind itself around trees and shrubs, so it does not mind the shade.
Climbers seem to become more popular year by year. Although, in view of our smaller gardens this is, perhaps, hardly surprising. 'Vertical' gardening with climbers does not need a lot of space, and at the same time it can give a wonderful illusion of spaciousness.

Standard-Speaker editor announces retirement
The longtime editor of the Standard-Speaker in Hazleton announced to the news staff on Friday his plans to retire.
Carl Christopher will oversee his final news budget meeting and write his last editorial on March 29, he told the staff during an afternoon meeting in the newsroom.
His resignation caps a 39-year journalism career that has included 38 years serving his hometown daily newspaper.
A search will begin immediately for a replacement, said Larry Holeva, executive editor of the Standard-Speaker, The Citizens' Voice in Wilkes-Barre and The Times-Tribune. All three are Times-Shamrock newspapers.
Mr. Christopher, 62, joined the Standard-Speaker in August 1975, one year after finishing graduate studies in journalism at Penn State University. Through the years he has served as a news reporter, photographer, night editor, day editor, Sunday editor and managing editor, a position he's held for the past 16 years.
Mr. Christopher, a 1968 graduate of Hazleton High School, lives in Hazleton with his wife, the former Anne Gormley. They have two sons, Ryan, Hazleton, and Andrew, Washington, D.C., and a daughter, Samantha, Annville.
The newspaper plans to have a new editor in place to direct the Hazleton operation by the beginning of April, Mr. Holeva said.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) were the first type of antidepressant developed. They're effective, but they've generally been replaced by antidepressants that are safer and cause fewer side effects.
Use of MAOIs typically requires diet restrictions because they can cause dangerously high blood pressure when taken with certain foods or medications. In spite of side effects, these medications are still a good option for some people. In certain cases, they relieve depression when other treatments have failed.
Antidepressants such as MAOIs ease depression by affecting chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) used to communicate between brain cells. Like most antidepressants, MAOIs work by changing the levels of one or more of these naturally occurring brain chemicals.
An enzyme called monoamine oxidase is involved in removing the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine from the brain. MAOIs prevent this from happening, which makes more of these brain chemicals available. This is thought to boost mood by improving brain cell communication.
MAOIs also affect other neurotransmitters in the brain and digestive system, causing side effects. MAOIs are sometimes used to treat conditions other than depression, such as Parkinson's disease.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved these MOAIs to treat depression:
Selegiline is available as a skin (transdermal) patch. Using a patch may cause fewer side effects than MAOIs taken by mouth. If you're using the lowest dose patch, you may not need diet restrictions, but ask your doctor.
Because of side effects and safety concerns, MAOIs are most often tried when other antidepressants don't work.
The most common side effects of MAOIs include:
Other possible side effects include:

Heart disease is America's number one killer, claiming the lives of nearly one million people every year. But now a new drug coated stent can help heart patients live longer without recurring blockages.
A stent is a small metal device used to prop open a coronary artery. Many patients who have stents find that the artery can become clogged again. This clogging is called Restenosis, and as a result 15 to 20 percent of stent patients require repeat treatments.
A new stent is out on a trial basis; it is now coated with a drug to prevent arteries from re-blocking. Cordis Corporation in South Florida developed the Cypher Drug eluting stent expected to get FDA approval next month. Shands Hospital in Jacksonville Florida is the only medical center involved in this trail.

New Program: Calling Relative after DUI Arrest
There are certain aspects to a night out on the town which most people consider before leaving for the festivities.
"Did I bring enough money?"
"Do I have clean underwear on?"
"Did I find a designated driver?"
All are completely legitimate questions. Now the question of "who do I call from jail when arrested for DUI?" has somewhat of an answer for those who find themselves in a watering hole in Utah between now and Sept. 7th.
The new program is designed to give callers a feeling of what it would feel like to have to make that call – giving them a sense of what their mamma will say, how their spouse will react or how their Priest will have them atone for their sins.
Sounds incredibly awkward- it's suppose to.
Teaming up together is the Utah Highway Patrol and a group of local Utah bars in the hope of letting people practice an uncomfortable call from the local lockup.The group hopes to help dissuade drinking and driving.
After all, what is more sobering than having to call your mother, father, spouse and let them know you are in the clink for a DUI offense?
A phone number has been set up to reconstruct what it would feel like to make a call after a DUI arrest. After dialing 1-877-JAIL-FON, the caller is given the option to talk to a frantic mother or a disapproving father, among others, such as an angry spouse and even a less than enthused coach and priest. A prerecorded message then plays one end of what the conversation might sound like, with the caller filling in the other half.
Slogans associated with the campaign include "Getting a DUI is easy, calling your mom from jail is hard."
Maybe it is a testament to the overly stimulated mind of our youth which are no longer scared straight by group visits to the morgue to see a result of a drunk driving accident, or stand face-to-face with a cell mate from Block 'C' who is serving life for vehicular manslaughter.
But what these local bars and the Utah Highway Patrol are banking on is that young people partying are still very scared to feel the wrath of their parents for such decisions of stupidity, and a late night partier is still extremely scared to inform their spouse of their decision to stay late and drink it up rather then make their way home.
In either case, the results should hold up as a new dynamic to the fight against drunk driving in the great state of Utah.

In case you wondered why there were no updates on this blog recently, the answer is simple – I am dissertating. I need to have a finished manuscript by mid June, which leaves me with around 60 days to finish the task. Wish me luck! 🙂
In other news, which you may have already seen on Facebook, an article I co-authored with Erik Nisbet and Tarleton Gillespie got published in The Information Society and we got some press coverage in Cornell Chronicle. Here is the abstract of the paper:
Addressing the reasons for—and the solutions to—the "digital divide" has been on the public agenda since the emergence of the Internet. However, the term has meant quite different things, depending on the audience and the context, and these competing interpretations may in fact orient toward different policy outcomes. The goals of this article are twofold. First, the authors unpack the term "digital divide" and examine how it has been deployed and interpreted across a range of academic and policy discourses. Second, through a framing experiment embedded within a nationally representative survey, the authors demonstrate how presenting respondents with two different conceptual frames of the digital divide may lead to different perceptions of who is most accountable for addressing the issue. From this, they discuss the dynamic relationship between the construction and communication of policy discourse and the public understanding of the digital divide, as well as implications for effective communication about the digital divide and information and communication technology policy to the general public.
Feel free to contact me if you want to read the entire piece and don't have access.

|Allie Billings moves to ESL; Stephanie Mitchell hired for second-grade position
|Written by Darci Tomky
After a job recently opened up for an ESL teacher at Holyoke JR/SR High, Allie Billings was thrilled to get the chance to step into that position.
Billings, who has been a second-grade teacher at Holyoke Elementary for a year, is taking over for ESL teacher Desiree Mosenteen. After a few days of shadowing Mosenteen, Billings will take the reins next week.
"It was meant to be," said Billings, who is excited to pursue her passion of ESL work. She and fiancé Nic Balog, who is also a teacher, love Holyoke, but Billings really wanted to get into the ESL field after studying it in college. It was only by chance that this opening popped up, a job perfect for Billings' interests.
A Greeley native, Billings earned her degree in interdisciplinary studies from UNC. She knew she loved ESL and working with older kids after a practicum at Greeley Central High School, where she worked in an ESL classroom with a wide range of languages.
She also completed an ESL practicum at Madison Elementary in Greeley in addition to her five years of Spanish classes. Billings is planning to work on her Spanish this year, hoping to become fluent by the end of the summer.
After completing her student teaching in fifth grade at Holyoke Elementary, Billings graduated in December 2011. She took an open position in the second grade soon after in January 2012. Now she's excited to make the move to the JR/SR high and begin her career as an ESL teacher.

Mitchell hired for second-grade position
Stephanie Mitchell has now joined staff at Holyoke Elementary as the new second-grade teacher to replace Billings. After shadowing for a week, Mitchell is settling in to her new classroom.
Mitchell earned her early childhood education degree from Colorado Christian University and obtained her teaching license in 2012.
After student teaching in a second-grade classroom, she's excited for the opportunity to work with young children again.
She grew up on a farm in northeast Colorado and currently lives south of Crook with husband Jimmy, who ranches, and sons Nevada, age 8, and Chance, age 7.
This 1997 graduate of Caliche High School earned an Associate of Science degree from NJC in 1999 and an Associate of Arts degree also from NJC in 2010.
Before getting into teaching, Mitchell has worked on the farm and is a certified pharmacy technician and a certified dental assistant. She also worked for Early Childhood Council of Logan Phillips Sedgwick as a health integration coordinator and spent time working with the Holyoke School District in that capacity.
Outside of work, Mitchell is passionate about reading, gardening and helping on the farm and ranch.

Is it possible to change the email address in the Zimbra support portal, or who do I need to get a hold of to change it?
I tried editing the account via the My Login button, but it keeps reverting to the old email account.
I'm trying to consolidate the external service logins of the company I work for to one email address. The idea is to have consistent login or email address that forwards emails to the IT department instead of one person.
I can't find anything about this, so I apologize if this has been addressed.

About Lakewood Church
Lakewood was founded on Mother's Day in 1959 by Joel's parents, John and Dodie Osteen. The church's first meeting was held in an abandoned feed store. While the church began with a small number of parishioners, it did have a large vision - to reach as many people as possible with the message of God's love. John's famous words shed light on his intense passion to fulfill the dream: "Great it is to dream the dream, when you stand in youth by the starry stream. But a greater thing is to fight life through, and say at the end, the dream is true." This faith in redemption is similar to the philosophy of other modern preachers, such as John Edward. John Osteen propelled Lakewood from a small church to a body of approximately 6,000 believers that reached people in many countries through television ministry, crusades, conferences, missionary support, food distribution, and more. However, in 1999, John died of a heart attack. He was survived by his wife Dodie and children Paul, April, Lisa, and Joel. On October 3, 1999, after producing his father's television program for years, Joel became the senior pastor of Lakewood.
Lakewood shocked its skeptics and grew astronomically. Pastor Joel, emphasizing God's love and keeping a positive attitude, has changed many people's notion of church. As evidence of this, Lakewood adopted the slogan "Discover the Champion in You" as its church motto. By the fall of 2004, Lakewood had one Saturday evening worship service, three Sunday morning services, one Sunday afternoon Spanish service, and one Wednesday night service. All these were held in Lakewood's 7,800 seat sanctuary. In late 2003, after a long process that involved multiple lawsuits, Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church acquired the Compaq Center (former home of the NBA's Houston Rockets). The Center underwent over 70 million dollars of renovation to become the Lakewood International Center, which has 16,000 seats for Lakewood's services and houses the media department of Joel Osteen Ministries.

|Hospice golf tourney winners announced
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Hospice of the Plains held its 14th annual golf tournament Saturday, Sept. 7 at the Wray Golf Course.
Forty-two golfers endured play in triple-digit weather but were then treated to a delicious dinner of barbecue baby back ribs with homemade baked beans, salads and desserts prepared by Hospice volunteers and staff.
Afterward, pin prizes were awarded and drawings were held for all the prizes generously donated by local businesses.
Other events included four golfers attempting a hole-in-one and one golfer attempting a 50-foot putt. Unfortunately there were no winners for the $50,000 or $100,000 shootout attempts or the $2,500 putt.
Three winners did come away with a cash award for the ball drop from the bucket truck—Julie Rus, Lynn Adamson and Jordan Davison.
Winners of the tournament follow: In the men's championship flight, the team of Dan Neumann and Charlie Johnson took home top honors. Tying for second was the team of Javan Jones and Allen Jones and the team of Erick Cole and Kenny Owens.

UPDATE – Tuesday, 5/21/2013, 10:30 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON – Diego has been adopted.
WASHINGTON – WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. Meet this week's pet below.
Name: Diego
Age: 5 years old
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Bio: How can you resist those eyes? Or those ears, for that matter? They belong to Diego, who arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League from Kuwait in early March.
Despite the upheaval and stress of a long journey, this 5- year-old Chihuahua mix has settled in well at the shelter. He has shared a den with several other small dogs who, one by one, have been adopted.
Diego is hoping that his time has finally come.
He's a sweet, affectionate little guy, who prefers attention to toys. He'll climb into your lap and solicit petting with a gentle paw, giving little doggy kisses in return. He'd make a terrific TV-watching partner.
Because of his small size and delicate frame, Diego is looking for a home with adults only or children over the age of 10. Like most dogs, he would benefit from a basic manners class.
Could Diego be the dog for you? Come meet him at the Washington Animal Rescue League and find out!
For more information about Diego, email email@example.com or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.

Everyone knows that deodorants are vital for controlling unpleasant body odors in order to keep you smelling and feeling clean all day. Unfortunately, some people believe that all deodorants are the same, leading them to settle for generic brands that do little more than mask odors. Due to their inferior ingredients, these products can do more harm than good, causing irritation and skin sensitivity in the delicate underarm region. The Jack Black Men Deodorants collection was created to provide a safe, truly effective answer to body odor.
Developed by one of the leaders in men's skin care, the Jack Black Men Deodorants line brings together a host of safe, natural ingredients formulated from the latest in cosmetic research. The products in the Jack Black Men Deodorants range are formulated to handle even severe perspiration caused by exercise and sports, yet are still gentle enough for everyday use. The Jack Black Men Deodorants collection provides all of the benefits of clinical-strength deodorants with milder formulations that are soothing and beneficial to the skin to prevent irritation, allergic reactions, flaking and dryness.
Fight the wetness and odors associated with perspiration with the Jack Black Men Deodorants range. Formulated to keep you dry even during sports, workouts and strenuous work, the deodorants contain no harsh chemicals that can irritate and damage the skin in the underarm area. Feel fresh and clean all day with this revolutionary line of deodorants from Jack Black.
The Jack Black Pit Boss Antiperspirant & Deodorant protects your skin and your clothing with its lightweight formula. Unlike other products on the market that can create a heavy white buildup in the underarm area that rubs off and stains dark clothes, this gel solid is completely color-free.
The active ingredient in Jack Black Pit Boss Antiperspirant & Deodorant is aluminum zirconium tirchlorohydreax gly, which uses aluminum to help control sweat production and keep the underarms dry. This revolutionary new antiperspirant ingredient is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, testifying to its safety and effectiveness.
The deodorant also contains vitamin E, an emollient that helps to protect the skin from the natural chaffing that can occur as you move. The vitamin also seals in the natural oils in the underarm area, preventing skin from becoming dry.
The effective formulation found in the Jack Black Pit Boss Antiperspirant & Deodorant was developed by top researchers and tested by dermatologists. The product is free of strong odors and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for even sensitive skin. Each easy-to-apply stick of the antiperspirant and deodorant contains 2.25 ounces of the formula.

FICO® Scores are developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. The FICO Score provided by Experian is based on FICO Score 8. Many but not all lenders use FICO Score 8. There are many different credit scoring models that can give a different assessment of your credit rating and relative risk (risk of default) for the same credit report. Your lender or insurer may use a different FICO Score than FICO Score 8, or another type of credit score altogether. Just remember that your credit rating is often the same even if the number is not. For some consumers, however, the credit rating of FICO Score 8 could vary from the score used by your lender. The statements that "90% of top lenders use FICO Scores" and "FICO Scores are used in 90% of credit decisions" are based on a third-party study of all versions of FICO Scores sold to lenders, including but not limited to scores based on FICO Score 8.
FICO Score 8 ranges from 300 to 850. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you'll pay back your debts so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower FICO Score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk. There are three different major credit reporting agencies — Experian, TransUnion® and Equifax® — that maintain a record of your credit history known as your credit report. Your FICO Score is based on the information in your credit report at the time it is requested. Your credit report information can vary from agency to agency because some lenders report your credit history to only one or two of the agencies. So your FICO Score can vary if the information they have on file for you is different. Since the information in your report can change over time, your FICO Score may also change.

(CBS) -- A 5-foot-long chunk of airplane debris found near the World Trade Center site is believed to be a piece of landing gear from one of the planes that hit the towers more than 11 years ago, NBC 4 New York first reported.
The part bears a "Boeing" stamp, followed by a series of numbers.
NYPD said the landing gear was found after surveyors hired by the property owner inspecting the rear of 51 Park Place called police on Wednesday.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said officials have secured the location "as it would a crime scene," and investigators are photographing the scene and restricting access until the medical examiner completes a health and safety evaluation.
Officials said the soil below could also be searched for remains.
On Sept. 11, American Airlines flight 11 hit the north tower at 8:46 a.m., and United Flight 175 hit the south tower at 9:03 a.m.
The rubble from the 9/11 attack was cleared from the 16-acre site by the spring of 2002. Other debris, including human remains, has been found scattered outside the site, including on a rooftop and in a manhole, in years since.

"In Brief" Continued...
Raiders on a lost lark
An Atlanta company that helped raise the Titanic has struck an iceberg. It planned to raise cash by selling artifacts from the famous wreck, but the courts blocked this plan and the Supreme Court last week refused to hear an appeal.
This means that control of the world's most famous disaster site is up in the air. The Titanic has been shrouded in mystery and fascination since it sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. The Atlanta company, R.M.S. Titanic, gained the salvage rights in 1994 and spent $11 million on six expeditions. The company recovered about 6,000 artifacts, many of which were exhibited around the country.
The collected objects ranged from bits of glass and debris to part of the ship's wheel, from passengers' personal belongings to the base of a statue from the grand staircase. After the company hit financial trouble, it decided to sell some items, which started a court battle over ownership. The company claimed rights to the sunken ship under admiralty law.
With R.M.S. Titanic giving up the site, other explorers could jump in to go searching. The company claims that the 6,000 items it found represent less than 5 percent of the ship's treasures. | Chris Stamper
Genetic defect
Gene therapy receives a lot of hype, but only one treatment has ever been found to work. Now the FDA has suspended even that treatment because of questions over deadly side effects.
The treatment fights the so-called "bubble-boy disease" that short-circuits the immune system. Scientists believe the disease comes from a genetic flaw that blocks production of an enzyme that makes immune cells.
The disease, technically known as severe combined immunodeficiency disorder, affects only about 50 people per year but is usually fatal. Some researchers have tried to hold back the disease by isolating patients in sterile environments, and a Houston boy named David Vetter survived 12 years in a bubble.
The gene treatment involves stem cells found in bone marrow (not embryos) that are genetically modified and injected into patients. It was the first reported successful cure. After injections, children in the experiment began growing normal blood cells. Soon they were able to fight common infections.
Then something went wrong. A toddler in France started overproducing a type of white blood cell, producing an ailment resembling leukemia. He is responding to chemotherapy, but the problem spooked scientists in France and the United States, and they decided to suspend the treatments.
The bully pulpit
Troubled, Miss America 2003, Erika Harold, telephoned her pastor in Urbana, Ill., early on Oct. 8. A news conference at the National Press Club in Washington was just hours away.
"She was upset because officials at the Miss America organization had instructed her not to talk about sexual abstinence," Pastor Gary Grogan of First Assembly of God told WORLD. Miss Harold, 22, had promoted abstinence among thousands of teens during her run for the Miss Illinois crown ("A fighting Illini," Oct. 5). She said the theme fit naturally in the anti-teen-violence platform assigned her by the pageant. Now she was wondering how to respond to the gag order. "Share what's in your heart in a kind way," Pastor Grogan recalls counseling her. "She's not a rebel," he says. "She's committed, and she's passionate, but she hasn't got an ounce of rebellion in her."
That did her a pound of good. The next day, George Bauer, interim CEO of the Miss America organization in Atlantic City, removed the gag following what the Washington Times described as "intense discussions."
Times reporter George Archibald "brought this controversy to the forefront," Miss Harold said, with a 1,100-word front-page article after the Washington news conference. During the reporters' Q&A, Mr. Archibald, aware of Miss Harold's previous pro-abstinence advocacy, asked why she had gone silent on this issue.
"Quite frankly," she answered, "and I'm not going to be specific, there are pressures from some sides to not promote [abstinence]." The sponsor of the news conference tried to shut down the line of questioning by accusing the journalist of "bullying" Miss Harold. "You won't be bullied, right?" Mr. Archibald asked.
"I will not be bullied. I've gone through enough adversity in my life to stand up for what I believe in," she said. On Oct. 10, at an event to crown her Miss Illinois successor, Miss Harold announced she'd won the battle: "I don't think the pageant organizers really understood how much I am identified with the abstinence message. If I don't speak about it now as Miss America, I will be disappointing the thousands of young people throughout Illinois who need assurance that waiting until marriage for sex is the right thing to do." | with reporting by Edward E. Plowman
One child, no choice
The United States no longer stands alone against coercive family planning in China. Britain's Foreign Office has-for the first time-included a section in its annual human-rights report condemning China's one-child policy.
The report highlights "enforced sterilizations, the abortion of female fetuses, and the abandonment of female children" as sources of concern for the Blair government and "for many Chinese people." While the Bush administration closed off family-planning funding to the UN over China's policy, European governments until now have not debated it.
"The wall of silence [with] which the Foreign Office surrounded forced abortion in China has been broken," said Anthony Ozimic of Britain's Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. But he acknowledged: "Britain and the EU still has a long way to go if it wants to match the United States' record in defending the human rights of Chinese women." - Mindy Belz
Flu's clues
Fall season begins flu season, and signs are popping up everywhere from pharmacies to medical clinics urging inoculation. This year, doctors want to see babies and toddlers vaccinated along with their elders. They say that influenza's high-risk group includes children under age 2, nursing home residents, and women in the first trimester of pregnancy.
In previous years health officials have faced concerns about vaccine supply, but not this year. According to federal health officials, about 94 million doses will ship this year, with shots at grocery and drug stores costing around $20.
Influenza infects 20 percent of the U.S. population every season, according to the CDC. About 14,000 flu sufferers are hospitalized and 20,000 die. Henry Schein, a New York-based vaccine distributor, claims the flu kills as many people as HIV and far more than exotic viruses like West Nile.
HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson announced a policy that gives standing orders to Medicare and Medicaid health providers concerning flu shot reminders. This is supposed to simplify vaccination distribution.
Anglican uproar
A revolt among clergy in the Church of England is underway against incoming Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. He takes office next month and will be enthroned in February. The Church Society-which represents hundreds of conservative clergy-called on Archbishop Williams this month to recant his liberal views on homosexuality or resign.
The Society promised "direct action" if he doesn't, but didn't spell out details. The action could include protests at the enthronement, withholding of funds to central coffers, and inviting orthodox bishops from Africa or Asia to provide spiritual oversight of certain parishes.
Reform, a larger conservative network, and the more mainstream Church of England Evangelical Council also were expected to take strong stands against the archbishop's views.
Reform asked Archbishop Williams early this month to affirm that extramarital sex is unacceptable and to renounce his position on homosexuality. At first, he refused to respond. His office later released a clarification: His refusal doesn't mean he regards extramarital sex to be compatible with Christian morality. However, the statement confirmed that he is sympathetic to sex between homosexuals in "committed relationships." He followed up with a letter saying that as archbishop of Canterbury he will "state" the "majority teaching of the church" and uphold the church's discipline. The archbishop has admitted to knowingly ordaining a practicing homosexual, and he has dismissed the church's position on homosexuality as hypocritical.
The archbishop woke up to more bad news on Oct. 7: The Telegraph reported that its survey of 500 Church of England clergy found 54 percent disapprove the ordination of any practicing homosexual. One in four said they had seriously considered leaving the church, and that ordination of homosexuals was a main reason. | Edward E. Plowman
What Lili left behind
In the aftermath of Hurricane Lili, the initial relief that the Category 2 storm left no casualties gave way to the demoralizing realization that days of arduous drudgery lay ahead. Hundreds of southwest Louisiana residents suffered catastrophic property damage from high-velocity winds and collapsing trees (uprooted oaks and pines dotted neighborhoods, downtowns, and highways for miles). Thousands of homes, schools, and businesses were deprived of water and electricity for the better part of a week, requiring Wal-Marts to convert their parking lots into ice-distribution centers (limit: two bags per family). And with Lili numbering transmission towers among her victims, television and radio stations were relatively unhelpful. Generator and insurance ads proliferated on those stations that did manage to stay on the air.
Still, most people retained the use of their phones, and gas stations were pumping fuel in all but the hardest-hit areas within 24 hours of the hurricane's onset. One week later, with a cool front alleviating the post-hurricane humidity and many people intent on getting "back to normal," the drone of chainsaws and the smoke of burning wood were the most noticeable reminders of what many Louisiana residents were calling the worst hurricane they had ever seen. | Arsenio Orteza in Opelousas, La.
Objectively disordered
The Church of England isn't the only body facing critical questions about homosexuality in the clergy. The Vatican is circulating for review a draft document containing directives against the admission of homosexuals to seminary and the priesthood, the Catholic News Service reported. The document's position is based in part on what the revised Catholic catechism says: Homosexual orientation is "objectively disordered."
Vatican scholars and officials have quietly debated for years whether to exclude homosexuals from the priesthood, but with no consensus. The issue is receiving new and more urgent attention in the aftermath of U.S. clergy sex-abuse cases, most of which involved homosexual acts.
Officials say there is no deadline for publication, but when the finalized paper is published it will be in the form of directives or norms to be applied throughout the church. | Edward E. Plowman
Tainted donations
Because of one undetected organ donor with hepatitis C, one person is dead and five others are ill. Transplant doctors did not spot the disease in time and gave the man's tissue and organs to over three dozen people in 14 states.
The infected man died two years ago after a hemorrhage inside his skull. Doctors tested him for hepatitis C but didn't detect the infection. The problem is with the test, which looks for antibodies that fight infection. These appear from six to eight weeks after infection, which means a sick person can still test negative within that window.
"This was the classic window case," Mike Seely, executive director of the Portland-based Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank (which tested the man), told The Oregonian newspaper. With no reason to suspect a problem, doctors transplanted kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, veins, tendons, skin, bone, and corneas into 40 other people. This summer, a patient who received a knee ligament tested positive for hepatitis C. Soon the Oregon Health Division was contacting doctors, so they could warn the remaining recipients. None of the people involved has been publicly identified. Health officials point out that cases like this are very rare.
Hepatitis C kills around 10,000 Americans annually. It attacks the liver and typically spreads via sexual intercourse, dirty needles, and accidental punctures by medical workers. It is the primary reason liver transplants are necessary.

Okay, I've managed to get past the initial hurdles, but there's something still busted on this thing. Attempts to log into the admin panel on the server end up producing an attempt to download a .bin file from the server instead of the expected results. What's wrong with this picture?
I've got several customers that would love to have an answer that works as nicely as this one does- if I can't test it out and can't get a clean install, I'm afraid I might have to pass on it, as nice as it is.

I have two young women who intern for me and talking with them each week reminds me how we have so many hopes and frustrations when we're first starting out; yearning to find our way but not having a clue about how to do it tempered with fantasies of how things will be. It's amazing how much control we really have in guiding our destiny. When you picture your future five years from now, do you see yourself burdened with work, shoulders heavy with responsibilities? Or do you see a fun happy vision of the future? While I do have my share of responsibility, I thank God I was always envisioning spending lots of time at the spa when I was younger!
So back to the latest in beauty...this week I experienced the Rose Crystal Lymphatic Facial at The Organic Pharmacy in Beverly Hills. I know some women {and men} are big facial junkies. I'm not one of them. People always squint and check out my skin when they find out I'm a beauty editor, but because I have really sensitive skin, I've learned to keep it looking good by religiously moisturizing, not over-cleansing, and never doing too much fancy stuff to it. I was a bit reluctant to try out a 90 minute facial, but since I knew that the ingredients would be completely organic and was assured that it wouldn't make my skin break out, I went ahead--and if I have to admit it, knowing that there was going to be an accompanying arm, hand, foot and scalp massage was a big factor.
I was completely blown away by how good it made me feel! The rose crystals and acupressure massage will completely lift your mood and your skin will of course, will look gorgeous when you're finished! If you're feeling in need of some ultimate pampering just in time for Valentine's Day, this is definitely the way to go! The Rose Crystal Lymphatic Facial is a luxurious treatment that begins with Lavender-infused deep breathing exercises, followed by deep cleansing, exfoliation, steaming and extraction. Four luxurious masks of Rosehip, Seaweed, Honey & Jasmine and Collagen are applied, with intensive hands, arms, feet, face, décolleté and scalp massage using Organic Pharmacy's nourishing Hair Serum.
Live far away from Beverly Hills? Want to experience a slice of heaven in the privacy of your own spa-like bathroom? It's absolutely doable. Here are the products I recommend:
Flower Petal Deep Cleanser & Mask is organic rose yumminess bottled up in a jar. Trust me, it will make your skin soft and smooth while it purifies, calms and cleans your skin. Next, try this:
Don't let the slender bottle fool you! I kept asking the therapist what it was she was using on me because it smelled absolutely amazing. Nicknamed 'the instant facelift oil', The Organic Pharmacy's Antioxidant Face Firming Serum smells of orange, floral and cypress trees--I was somehow reminded of driving in a convertible through the Italian countryside--I kid you not! At least that was the hypnotic spell I was under during the treatment!
Finish off with the Expression Treatment that plumps, fills, and smooths your skin--not that I needed that they were quick to tell me. Haha, I will partake in Expression Treatment any day!
Well I'm off for more pampering and hope that you are taking time to relax and unwind from the demands of the week as well.

Christopher Dorner: Uncensored Manifesto of a deranged former LAPD officer
As police in southern California continue their manhunt Friday for alleged murderer and former LAPD officer Christopher Jordan Dorner, new details are emerging about his 11,000-word manifesto. Largely ignored as the ramblings of an individual who was extremely unhappy with his lot in life, Dorner has now gained national notoriety as thousands of police officers participate in the manhunt.

Application of Radio Frequency Identification Technology for the to Study of on Information-Seeking Behavior of Public Library Users: Preliminary Analysis
Noriko Sugie
Monday, 6:30pm
This study examines the possibility of applying radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology as a method to collect quantitative data on
library user behavior, and thus determining common features. The A user survey
was conducted at Chiyoda Public Library in April and May 2012. Each user carried
an antenna to receive the radio waves emitted from RFID tags, and a PDA
(personal digital assistant (PDAce) to record the data, and went about using the
library as usual. RFID tags attached to books and magazines were used to
identify the locations of users. Data on the total time spent in the library,
travel distance, average speed, traveling path, time spent browsing/exploring in
each zone and time spent browsing to explore materials by subject was obtained.
It was found that the percentage of users who spent less than 30 minutes in the
library made up the largest percentage of these groups, while no more than a few
users spent more than 2 hours. It was also found that users tended to
browse/explore general books more than other materials. These findings provide a
glimpse of their users behavior. A more detailed data analysis, such as
analyzing data by specific user groups, or of some group of users or attributes
more deeply, will result in a pattern of information-seeking behavior of users
in public libraries.

Hi guys and gals, this month's challenge is to create a regional hex map suitable for a hexcrawl style campaign. The hexcrawl mechanic was a mainstay of fantasy role playing games during the early days of the hobby but largely fell out of use by most gamers somewhere in the 90s. One of the many fruitful projects of the OSR movement has been to resurrect and breathe new life into this venerable form of game play. That said, by the admission of many within the OSR community, the typical hex map is somewhat lackluster. These maps tend to be functional rather than artistic, and while some enjoy this Spartan aesthetic the goal of this challenge is to create a more artistic hex map which ideally preserves the functionality of the hexcrawl mechanics. To that end, each entry must contain each of the following:
1) A numbering system for each of the hexes;
2) Symbols or drawings of "known" cities, towers, keeps, monster lairs, dungeons or other places of interest;*
3) A Map key (which should include a scale indicating the size of each hex);
* These should each fit within a single hex.
Other optional things which you may but need not add include: an Encounter Table, a Hex Key offering a title and/or short description of the contents of some or all of the hexes. Depending on how much interest there is, this month's challenge could lead into a followup challenge in June based on the winning entry.
Title each new thread May 2013 Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The challenge will end on or around the 31st of May, and the winner will receive a golden compass, and the envy of your peers.
If you are unfamiliar with the hexcrawl trope, Justin Alexander has a wonderful 10-part series of blog posts on the topic here. Looking for a way to create a hex-grid? There is a discussion at the Guild on that here.

Wow, after $215 we get blacked out of the Opener, Not Good, Not Good at all
This is a MLB issue and has nothing to do with Direct TV. MLB Extra Innings doesn't start until April 5, the same day the free preview starts. So yeah, we paid $215 for the MLB Extra Innings package season but the MLB Extra Innings package season doesn't start until next week so we haven't paid for something that we aren't getting yet.

Well our company has been successfully using Zimbra 5.0.16 for around 4 months now and it has been a great transition. We were originally on a hosted email service that did not provide us with the functionality we were looking for. It was very basic and not manageable from our end at all. We spent a lot of time testing Zimbra before going live with it in July and since then we have had very few issues. One of the more pressing issues we ran into was SPAM. With the help of these forums though I was able to tweak the settings and drastically reduce the amount of SPAM that gets to users.
Here are a few statistics from our server:
I am preparing for the jump to 6.0.2 shortly and I am hoping that everything goes smoothly as it has in the past for me. After that the next project will be to jump from Fedora 7 to Ubuntu 64bit. I am still pushing our company to go for the Network Edition but funds are a little tight as I am sure most of you can relate.Grand Totals

March 5, 2013
One group of young people had a state of the state message of their own.
They used this first day of the Florida legislative session to welcome politicians with a set of demands to empower youth and bring about equal justice for all.
The group shouted, "The state is ours, the state is ours, the state is ours!"
Saleema Ali says she's no longer afraid to tell her story. Her family moved to the United States from Trinidad in 1996.
The 22-year-old from Orlando says it's been tough for them because of the recent crackdown on immigration. Ali says they've been homeless three times since 2011, and she's had to drop out of college.
Ali says, "It's scary because this is my life. This is where I live. I've been here since I was six years old. This is my home. To think that my home and my life is being threatened because people for some reason don't think I'm worthy of being here, that's a scary thing."
Ali is asking for immigration reform.
She joined more than 100 young people from across Florida with the group called, "Dream Defenders" at the Capitol to voice that concern Tuesday.
They also demand that lawmakers repeal the Stand Your Ground Law and end voter suppression.
The Dream Defenders lined the hallway of the House and Senate Chambers while singing to greet lawmakers as they came in.
FSU student and Dream Defender Sherika Shaw "It's important for the people here in the capitol to know that we care and a lot of things that are happening, a lot of the policies that are being passed, we don't approve of, we don't agree with them, we don't feel like they're the best four our communities."
Press Release: Dream Defenders
Tallahassee, FL – On March 5th, 2013, at the Plaza Rotunda in the Capitol of Florida, the Dream Defenders will deliver a sobering, and more telling version of the Governor's State of the State Address. The event will feature a Community State of the State address with speakers addressing a number of issues including immigration, voter suppression, stand your ground and the school-to-prison pipeline.
WHO: Dream Defenders, a group of students and youth from Tallahassee, FL, Orlando, FL, Tampa, FL, Gainesville, FL and Miami, FL.
WHAT: Press conference highlighting a state of emergency in Florida covering multiple issues, followed by an official Welcome to the "Dream Era." Over 100 Dream Defenders from Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Gainesville and Tallahassee will be in attendance at the address.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
WHERE: The Florida Capitol | 400 S Monroe St, Tallahassee, FL 32399 | Plaza Level Rotunda
Dream Defenders have local chapters in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville and Tallahassee on college campuses and in communities working on a statewide school-to-prison pipeline campaign, as well as local campaigns spanning from: the repeal of stand your ground, voting rights and immigration. These areas of focus combine to make up the Dream Defenders "Dream Agenda" for the upcoming legislative session in the state of Florida.
"Our generation is under attack from many angles: whether it is the assault on our voting rights, the hunting season that is endorsed by "Stand Your Ground", the denial of basic human rights to our immigrant communities, or the mass exodus of our children from classrooms to cells. These issues are OUR issues," says Marie Paul, an organizer with the University of Central Florida Dream Defenders.
The Dream Defenders are reacting to the current state of affairs with organization and hope. Phillip Agnew, Executive Director of the Dream Defenders stated, "The Dream era is now. 2013 and beyond. It is an era propelled by black and brown youth who spent their formative years criminalized, marginalized, tossed to the side and forgotten. We found beauty in the dark; we found strength in our struggle, determination through despair."

Score a touchdown with great appetizers
I'll admit it, I haven't been much of a Denver Broncos fan this year with the absence of a certain eligible bachelor quarterback, but seeing as they are doing so well, I suppose I can root for them in the playoffs. They face the Ravens this Saturday, and (hopefully) our beloved Broncos will still be around for the big game Sunday, Feb. 3.
Chances are you'll be getting together with a bunch of buddies to watch some football action in the next few weeks, and what's a football party without great food?!
Some people watch football because they actually like football. Other people (like me), watch football because it's a fun party with good commercials and good food.
Here are a couple of my family's favorite game day appetizers.
If you happen to be hosting the party, the pepperoni bread is a super easy option to throw together, pop in the oven and have hot and ready for halftime. It comes from the Gooseberry Patch "5 Ingredients or Less!" cookbook, and you can customize it however you want! You can always double the cheese (like I do!), or you can add other pizza toppings before you roll it up.
And you simply can't go wrong with a great Mexican chip dip! It's the perfect snack to munch on throughout the game.
Good luck, Broncos!
Pepperoni Bread
1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
4-ounce package sliced pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Roll out bread dough into a 15"x10" rectangle; arrange pepperoni slices and cheese on top. Roll up lengthwise; secure closed with toothpicks. Place on a greased baking sheet; bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Slice to serve. Makes 12 servings. Serve warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Bean Dip
3 cans 10-ounce jalapeño bean dip
1 pint sour cream mixed with 1 package taco mix
3 mashed avocados mixed with two teaspoons lemon juice
or 3 avocado dips ready made
Grated cheese
Diced tomatoes
Sliced black olives
In layers, spread ingredients on large plate. Serve with your choice of tortilla or corn chips.

Comments about Alpha Catch™:
My daughter is in kindergarten. She is already able to recognize and write her alphabet. However, she is really enjoying learning to read, and these have been a HUGE help with furthering her phonetic skills. We have a lot of fun playing "letter ball," especially when her best friend is visiting. He's still learning to recognize his letters, and this game has really made it fun for him. They are enjoying the competitive part of it. Whoever gets 5 in a row right gets to choose the snack or the next activity! It really has made learning fun for the kids!
There are times when I suggest we play catch, and my daughter pipes up with "I'll get the letter balls!" She really ENJOYS learning with these!
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
Comments about Alpha Catch™:
This was one of our faves. We're a baseball family, so what could be better than a learning tool that involves a little baseball. It's a fast paced way to practice letter names and sounds. This is perfect for children just starting school and learning their alphabet. Bella loves it because the velcro on the balls makes it easy to catch them in the adorable baseball gloves. Bella knows her alphabet really well and she loves catching the balls and telling me what letter and colour of the ball she caught.
