Link to Current Event: RAI Film Festival March 4-5, 2016
Best known for its pioneering role in visual anthropology, USC's Anthropology Department has strong research programs in all four fields of the discipline (i.e., Archaeology, Socio-cultural Anthropology, Linguistics, and Physical Anthropology). The Department offers a B.A. in Anthropology with concentrations in visual anthropology and urban applied anthropology; a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Archaeology; minor programs in cultural anthropology, medical anthropology, folklore and popular culture, Southeast Asia and its people, and a progressive 5th year M.A. in visual anthropology. At the graduate level, the Department currently offers both an M.A. in Visual Anthropology and a Certificate in Visual Anthropology. Students interested in a doctorate degree in Physical Anthropology apply through the Department of Biology's Integrative Evolutionary Biology program.
Current Special Event: Sunday, September 14:
Anthropology brings a global comparative perspective to the study of human beings, across both time and space. At USC the study of anthropology is linked through its subdisciplines (i.e., medical anthropology, visual anthropology, legal and political anthropology, primatology, etc.) to many other fields in the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences.
The USC Department of Anthropology requires students to become involved in ethnographic research and fieldwork while offering them a firm theoretical foundation in anthropology. Special departmental areas of emphasis at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are provided by programs in visual anthropology and primatology. Undergraduates may take a number of courses in visual anthropology that focus on the analysis and understanding of human behavior and are encouraged to include visual media in their senior field methods practicum. The Center for Visual Anthropology provides support in terms of equipment and editing space for both undergraduates and graduate students.
Regional areas of faculty research interest include an emphasis on East and Southeast Asia and the island Pacific. Department of Anthropology faculty are also affiliated with the Annenberg School of Communication, the Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, the Center for Religion and Civic Culture, the Visual Studies Graduate Certificate Program, the Department of American Studies and Ethnicity, and the Gender Studies Program.
An important event sponsored by the department's Center for Visual Anthropology is a Los Angeles venue of the Royal Anthropological Institute's International Festival of Ethnographic Film. The XIV event will take place in 2016 on March 4-5 on the USC campus.

Amid the eye-catching blooms of springtime daffodils, hyacinths and tulips, some of our indigenous spring flowers tend to get overlooked. Many are classified as "spring ephemerals", in that they grow, flower and set seed in their native forests and woodlands before deciduous trees have leafed out, casting them into deep shade for the rest of the growing season. Perhaps more subtle than Eurasian bulbs, they are certainly no less beautiful.
A good example of this is the great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum), which was adopted as the Floral Emblem of Ontario in 1937, seen here with native Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum, Zone 4) in the background.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KEN1 AWESOME PRODUCT THIS PRODUCT IS AWESOME.I HAVE USED IT IN EXTENSIVE TRAVEL WHERE I DID NOT HAVE A REFRIDGERATOR. I WOULD SAY IF YOU NEED IT COLDER LONGER-PUT A FEW ICE CUBES IN IT WHEN YOU START USING IT.IT WILL STAY COOL FOR DAYS.THIS PRODUCT WORKS AWESOME IF USED PROPERLY.I'M BUYING 4 NOW JUST SO I NEVER RUN OUT. July 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Divapat Excellent Purchased this case in preparation for our Caribbean vacation later on this month, but had a chance to use it a few days ago when packing Hubby's insulin and my Victoza injectable pen for a one-day trip around town. Plenty of space for meds and syringes; the keep-cool bag worked very well, too! July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CivilWarTabby Recommend this for all diabetics I took it along for a long cruise as a back up. I usually keep my insulin pens in a large thermos. However, the thermos bottle was stolen, so fortunately had the Frio system. Worked awesome! Plan to get another one as I am usually gone for longer vacation periods and I take larger amounts of medication. Will put the thermos drink bottles in checked bag instead. Stays even colder when I soaked it in ice water. May 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by cdsw very disappointed I bought this for when I travel with my insulin. After 12 hours the gel pack was no longer cool. We had to finish the trip by purchasing ice in order to keep the insulin cool. I feel that I was mislead into believing that the gel would last long enough to complete our trip. I was very disappointed with this product. May 22, 2012

Diesel prices slip but remain over the $4 per gallon mark
April 26, 2011
Diesel prices remained above the $4 per gallon mark for the third straight week despite dropping $0.7 cents to $4.098 per gallon, according to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
This slight decline follows a 2.7 cent gain to $4.105 per gallon last week. Diesel prices have been up 19 of the last 21 weeks. And on an annual basis, the price per gallon for diesel is up $93.6 per gallon.
When diesel hit $4.078 per gallon two weeks ago, it marked the first time diesel has been above the $4 per gallon mark since the week of September 15, 2008, when it hit $4.023.
As LM has reported, diesel prices and the price per barrel of oil have been increasing for many reasons, most notably due to political and civil unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, specifically in Libya in recent weeks, has resulted in oil producers in that region suspending or shuttering operations, according to media reports. This has subsequently led to tighter supplies, which is driving up oil and gas prices. And the recent earthquake and Tsunami in Japan also has the potential to lead to further prices hikes, too, say many industry experts.
The price per barrel for oil is currently $111.78, according to a Bloomberg report, which is the second straight day prices have fallen. The report stated that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said this week that oil prices have become an obstacle to improvement in the economy, and it also mentioned that Khalid al-Falih, chief executive officer of Saudi Arabian Oil Co., said the world's biggest oil exporter is concerned about the impact of prices on economic growth.
At last week's NASSTRAC Logistics Conference and Expo in Orlando, Fla., shippers and carriers both expressed ongoing concern about the price of diesel and oil. While many said prices at current levels are still digestible, they cautioned that could quickly change depending on how quickly prices rise with summer driving season approaching.
In terms of how these prices can impact supply chain and logistics operations at a time when freight volumes are showing slow but consistent growth, many shippers have expressed concern about the pace of these diesel increases, explaining that if prices continue to rise at their current pace, it has the potential to hinder growth and increase operating costs, which will, in turn, force them to raise rates and offset the increased prices to consumers.
This was made clear in a recent Logistics Management reader survey of roughly 250 shippers. The survey found that if fuel prices continue their ascent, 70 percent—or nearly 180—of the shippers surveyed indicated they would need to adjust their freight budget to cover higher than budgeted fuel prices.
Nearly 40 percent of shippers said they would adjust their fuel budgets by 6-to-10 percent and 15 percent of shippers said they planned to adjust budgets by 11-to-15 percent.

For example: if an item is scheduled to close at 10:00am, and a bid is placed between 9:55am to 10:00am, the closing time will be extended by 5 minutes until 10:05am. If a bid is placed within that 5 minute interval, then bidding the closing time will extend until 10:10am, etc… Once a 5 minute extension interval has passed without any bids, the auction for the item will close, and the lot will show as COMPLETED in red letters. This means that bids are no longer accepted, and the username showing is the winning bidder. To make sure you see all other bids placed, click the "Refresh" button on your web browser frequently before that item closes and during any extension periods. Your screen may not "auto-refresh," and you may not see bids placed after yours if you don't manually refresh.

Chrome Storm Pasha Women's Jacket $0.00
Your teddy bear rain slicker was cute when you were a kid, but as a big bad grownup, it's time to start dressing the part. But as we all know, this is easier said than done when you're always riding from A to B. Even worse, as a woman, you're thrown right in the middle of a boiling pot of bad, disingenuous designs. Luckily, Chrome has heard your cries, and the Storm Pasha Women's Jacket is its response. By combining an anatomic, cycling-specific cut with fully waterproof construction, the Storm Pasha fits like a dry glove in a world of wetness.
A touch of wizardry must have been involved in the design process for the Storm Pasha jacket. Somehow, the cut is cycling-specific, yet the appearance says picnic in the park. To achieve this, the sleeves and rear hem were lengthened a bit to keep you covered when you're stretched out in the saddle. The rear of the jacket also has a pass-through cargo pocket that makes grabbing your phone or keys a cinch while you're on the move.
For the all-conditions functionality of the Storm Pasha, Chrome went all out to keep you covered and dry. First off, the jacket is made from a waterproof Tactel Nylon fabric, and to cover all of the bases, Chrome also fully taped the seams of the Pasha. In fact, even the front zipper has a waterproof backing. The collar has been cut high, and the hood is constructed from three panels to minimize the effects of wind. And while this keeps water from getting in, Chrome also took steps to ensure that any buildup of moisture can get out. Not only does the jacket have a two-way zipper for ventilation, but there are also dual armpit zips to keep the air flowing through.
Chrome has also added reflective accents throughout the jacket to increase your visibility in low-light conditions.
The Chrome Storm Pasha Women's Jacket is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the colors Black and Olive.

Shore Erosion Control
Projects Now Under Jurisdiction Of Home Improvement Commission
During the 2008 session, the Maryland General Assembly enacted
House Bill 1253, which amends the jurisdiction of the Home Improvement Commission.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Home Improvement Law has
been amended to add to the definition of "home
improvement" work: "a shore erosion control project, as
defined under Section 8-1001 of the Natural Resources Article, for
residential property." This means that, as of July 1, 2008,
contractors who construct erosion control projects, such as
bulkheads and "rip-rap," along the shoreline of residential
property are required to hold a home improvement contractor
license from the Home Improvement Commission. The Home Improvement
Commission licensing requirement also applies to contractors who
construct other improvements, such as decks and piers, which are
attached to the shoreline of residential property.
Guaranty Fund
The Guaranty Fund is paid for through contractors' assessments. Each contractor pays $100 into the Fund
when applying for a new license. Upon renewal, the assessment fee per contractor is $125 every two years.
For renovations performed in pre -1978 housing for compensation you may need to have lead abatement accreditation
and provide homeowners with lead information. Contact the EPA

So what is Big Blue's idea of a Smarter Planet?
It's the 3 big ideas to build a smarter planet for smart and sustainable living:
1. Instrument
the world's systems
2. Interconnect them
IBM's Tivoli® Software places IBM in a unique position to help the clients provide smarter solutions and the expertise needed to design, build and manage a infrastructure that enables them to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk.
Not long ago, while surfing through our case study database, I stumbled upon a Tivoli success story that caught my attention and I'm happy to share the same with our readers here. "Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) Leverages rail system and network transparency to keep trains on schedule". Wow, the title looked so fascinating to me and that might be because I've had many not-so-good-train-experiences, delay in arrival or departure and the likes (which I always dislike).
Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB), or Swiss Federal Railways, is Switzerland's leading transportation company. SBB transports over 800,000 passengers and more than 220,000 tons of cargo each day, maintains 3,011 kilometers of track that connects more than 800 rail stations and also a large construction organization that engages in roughly 5,000 construction programs each year. However, due to inefficient monitoring systems, a one day system problem in 2005 had stranded nearly 200,000 passengers, costing almost US$5 million. Hence, SBB was looking for a more aggressive service management strategy to prevent future events of this type and operate 9000 trains a day without any hassles.
Interestingly, IBM does have a solution for these kinds of needs. IBM Tivoli® Netcool™ monitors status of IT and physical assets - including switches and sensors - throughout the Client's network. The automated diagnostics and alert systems reduce the likelihood of future outages. And, SBB, along with Alcatel-Lucent, apparently, developed a service management solution using IBM technology (Tivoli Network Manager Entry Edition, Tivoli Business Service Manager, Tivoli Netcool/Impact, Tivoli Monitoring, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus) to provide a comprehensive view of the overall infrastructure.
So what makes it a Smarter Rail?1. Delivers customizable user interfaces that increase network transparency, and helps support staff to be better informed about infrastructure health.
2. Leverages proactive management and automated alert systems to recognize and repair more than 50 percent of issues before they can impact operations.
3. Increases the availability of SBB's train network by approximately 2,000 minutes per month - therefore saving approximately US$2.3 million each year.
Martin Schaeren, Head of BU Service Management, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), is all praise for IBM, "Trying to manage 3,000 kilometers of track is a particularly daunting task. But, by leveraging our new IBM solution, we're able to see our entire infrastructure clearly and respond to problems before they can affect our operations."
Well, a commendable success story indeed. We, the IBMers, sincerely, wish that all the railway systems of our world become 'smarter', sooner than later. What say?

In August of 2004, at the age of 34, I decided to take a taekwondo class with my children. I was a bit out of shape, but nothing too bad. As it progressed into Spring I began to notice that I was getting more out of breath and occasionally dizzy during a workout. It seemed odd that I was more out of shape after several months than I was when I started, so I scheduled a physical with my general practitioner in March.
My general practitioner didn't think it was anything serious, but he is always willing to look deeper. He decided to run an EKG just to err on the side of caution. He discovered a right bundle branch blockage. He said that it was probably unrelated, but just in case he ordered several additional tests and referred me to a cardiologist.
When I saw the cardiologist I was essentially told that I was middle-aged, overweight and a hypochondriac. However, he did say he wanted me to follow up with him in three months, in June, just to be sure. I nearly skipped that appointment.
During those three months my symptoms didn't get any worse so I was not concerned. I didn't have any symptoms except when I worked out. At the follow up appointment the doctor did a brief check-up EKG and was literally about to send me on my way when he went back and reviewed my initial test results. He said, "Let's do one more test while you are here." He took me to the back and they did another cardiac echo. He stood there and said "I know exactly what you have. It's called pulmonary hypertension." The new echo showed that the right side of my heart was enlarged. This had not shown up on my echo three months prior. What he saw on the original test results were the pressures from the echo with the statement "mild pulmonary hypertension." At this point he told me to return in two weeks. In the meantime I was not to exercise and to spend most of my time in bed resting. To me I thought this was crazy. I felt great. I would just get winded when I worked out.
"When I returned after two weeks the doctor told my husband and I that I needed to get my affairs in order since I had a life expectancy of 2-2 1/2 years. He ordered more tests and told me to return in another two weeks. During this time I did my own research and decided that I needed to see a specialist. When I returned I requested a referral to see a doctor at the University of Chicago. He seemed relieved."
When I returned after two weeks the doctor told my husband and I that I needed to get my affairs in order since I had a life expectancy of 2-2 1/2 years. He ordered more tests and told me to return in another two weeks. During this time I did my own research and decided that I needed to see a specialist. When I returned I requested a referral to see a doctor at the University of Chicago. He seemed relieved.
I was able to get an appointment quickly and was seen in early August. At the University of Chicago they confirmed my diagnosis and put me on Revatio, which had just become available. At this point I was still not experiencing daily symptoms. I was encouraged to resume exercising as long as I didn't get short of breath. I chose to swim laps and work out on the treadmill. After one year of revatio, my pressures went up so I was placed on subcutaneous remodulin. I was still not having symptoms, but my PH doctor is very proactive in treatments. I continued with the subcutaneous remodulin until January of 2012 when I was fortunate to be able to participate in the implanted pump study.
In January of 2013 I started taking kickboxing classes 3 days per week and I have just registered to participate in RAGBRAI, a bike ride across the state of Iowa in late July. Due to the early diagnosis and my doctor's proactive approach to treatment, I work full time as a high school teacher, exercise regularly, and experience a virtually symptom-free life.
Early diagnosis has allowed me to call the shots in my life, rather than PH.

Data, data, data — 21st century life provides tons of it. It's paradise for researchers, or at least it would be if we knew how to make sense of it all. This year's AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver devoted plenty of time to the question of how to understand large amounts of data. And there's one method we particularly liked. It's based on the kind of idea that gave us the London tube map.

* Homemade Outer Space Felt Board and Felt Build A Rocket Game
I made this outer space felt board set for the girls to play with this week
for our final Smart Summer Challenge week,
Outer Space Fun!
The background is one of our homemade felt boards,
blue felt glued to a big poster board-size piece of foam core.
To make the planets, and other goodies
I just drew with permanent markers (Sharpies) on stiff felt from the craft store.
Then, I carefully cut them out and handed them to "C"
who promptly decided where everything should go
and requested a rocket ship, some stars, and her own pink planet.
"E" asked for an alien, a UFO, and her own blue and purple planet.
I also put together this little game for "C"s preschool at home centers.
It is based off of this printable game from Making Learning Fun
that I found through the Counting Coconuts blog.
Hers was made out of laminated paper, but I was on a roll with my felt board project
so I went ahead and made ours as a mini felt board.
(she has some GREAT ideas on her mini space unit if you have a preschooler at home
and the Making Learning Fun site has TONS of great Space printables!)
It's similar to our homemade Felt Build a Pumpkin Face Game
(Remember this one?) I made for the girls at Halloween in 2010.
The "Spacey background" is a piece of glittery black
(stiff) felt that I had in my craft supply stash.
The space ship parts are made out of scraps of felt.
The dice is a wooden block we painted black and added our own white painted dots.
I wanted to use a regular die but "C" wanted to make a homemade one....
The game directions are printed on card stock, each time she rolls the dice
there is a piece of the rocket ship that corresponds to the numbers on the dice.
I hand colored the instructions sheet with some Elmer's Gel Pens
so she'd have an easier time working independently.
Bonus - she can play with the rocket ship on her big felt board too!
I'll be sharing more of our Outer Space fun all week.
Please come back and link up on this Friday for our
biggest Smart Summer Challenge giveaway of the summer!

Love it!! We have a large black felt board for the kids and I just keep the different felt sets in baggies to play with on the same board. An outer space one would be perfect! Do you have any problems with the permanent marker rubbing off on fingers? That always happens to me, even when I use sharpies. :(

Putting A Five-Speed In A '49-54 Chevy - TransformationWritten by on January 1, 2011
In most regards, '49-54 Chevys were pretty cool cars-and with a few tweaks, they can be even cooler. Few engines sound as good as a six with a split manifold, good shocks and a set of radial tires can do wonders for the handling of a shoebox Chevy and just about any car looks better with the right wheels and a little bit of a rake. It doesn't take much to make these cars into great-looking cruisers, but then looks aren't everything.
Like many makes of this era, the stock factory gearing found in these cars means the engine is going to be spinning more rpm than is healthy when trying to keep up with contemporary highway traffic. Most '49-54 Chevys with standard transmissions had 3.70 or 4.11:1 rear gears-the later Powerglide-equipped cars had 3.54:1. And while it was once popular to put an automatic rearend in a three-speed-equipped car, what these cars really need is a better gear spread in the transmission-a lower low and an overdrive top cog so taller rear gears can be installed, and one of the easiest means to accomplish that is with a readily available and affordable Chevy S-10 five-speed transmission. Now, before we go any farther, we should explain that the transmission swap shown here also requires replacing the original rearend and enclosed driveline, but rest assured the final result is worth the effort.
The installation shown here was done by Ken and Nick Smith, of the Hot Rod Works in Nampa, Idaho. Known for late-axle and open-drive conversions for early Ford rearends, the adapter and crossmember kit shown here are their first Chevy products, but like everything else they do it's well thoughtout and executed.
Typical of their precision approach, the Hot Rod Works adapter has a lip that registers it precisely in the original bellhousing. The only modification to the transmission is some minor machine work to the front bearing retainer. On some transmissions, the thickness of the front bearing retainer has to be reduced to 0.300 inch (some are already thin enough); all require shortening of the throw-out bearing snout and countersinking of the attachment holes. Once done, all that's needed to button up the trans to the engine is an '82-90 Chevy S-10 clutch disc, a new throw-out bearing, and an original six-cylinder pressure plate.
While it is possible to modify the original transmission mount/crossmember for the swap, Hot Rod Works offers an affordable replacement. Made from round tubing, it will mount the recommended Chevy S-10 five-speed transmission into any '49-54 Chevrolet passenger car, except convertibles. The new crossmember fits above the transmission for increased ground clearance and bolts to the holes for the original holes once the stock piece is removed.
With original retail prices of $150 for the adapter, $190 for the crossmember, and the going prices of S-10 transmissions this has to be one of the most affordable transmission swaps ever. It gives an old Stovebolt the longer legs it needs to keep up with traffic without a strain, which is a great way to make a cool car cooler.

Like Ford, Chevy used an enclosed driveline, in fact GM stuck with it five years longer. If the stock trans goes so does the rearend, but that really is a win-win situation.Hot Rod Works developed this crossmember for the S-10 swap, it bolts in place and has a removable transmission mount.The Hot Rod Works transmission adapter has a lip on the front side (not shown) that registers in the bellhousing and a recess to locate the transmission on the other.To retain structural integrity the supplied gussets are welded to the original frame braces and the new crossmember.Here are the gussets viewed from the driver side-the lip on the factory strut will be trimmed for neatness.
Another difference is the length of the front bearing retainer, the snout of the five-speed must be shortened to 3-5/8 inches from the mounting surface.This shows how much the bearing retainer must be shortened. In some cases the mounting flange must also be thinned.For accuracy Hot Rod Works shortens the bearing retainer on a lathe. They'll make all the necessary modifications to the retainer for $45.To fit into the adapter's recess the bearing retainer has to be modified to accept counter-sunk screws.This bearing retainer has the snout shortened, the outer mounting surfaced, and the holes counter sunk for the proper metric screws.A properly modified bearing retainer will fit into the adapter with the mounting surfaces perfectly flush.An '85-90 S-10 clutch disc (Napa PN RCF4203) replaces the original-all the other clutch components are '49-54 Chevy.

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Senior point guard Jessi Hoffert plunged four consecutive fourth quarter free throws through the net and led all scorers with 14 points to propel the Lady Plainsmen over Hayes Center 61-32 last Thursday night in Grant. Hoffert mixed in a pull up transition jumper and a three-pointer with 7-of-9 shooting from the line to close Perkins County's regular season with a 13-8 record. Seniors Michi Prante and Shania Metcalf along with freshman guard Brandie Ross also amassed 12 points apiece.Prante bolted to the opening right of the goal twice for four points in the fourth quarter, while Metcalf turned and hit an eight-foot jumper to go with her field goals from right under the net. "I can't say enough good things about the seniors on this team," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "Early in the season Jessi [Hoffert], Michi [Prante], Shania [Metcalf] and Matisyn [Humphrey] set team goals of wanting to be known as a squad that hustled and one that approached all facets of the game in a classy manner. Tonight's game was no exception." Third quarter baskets began to come easily for Perkins County; a loose Lady Cardinals defense made scoring like taking candy from a baby for the home team. Prante got two open scores right near the net and fed Shania Metcalf an inbound pass for another easy score in the third quarter. Brandie Ross and Courtney McClenahan also put up points with little difficulty as Perkins County doubled up Hayes Center at 38-18 in the third quarter. A 13-1 second quarter run highlighted by Courtney McClenahan's steal and breakaway basket gave the Lady Plainsmen a commanding 30-11 lead. Jessi Hoffert stroked three of four from the line in the second quarter as well. Metcalf and Ross ruled the paint in the first quarter, scoring three field goals apiece from close range. After forward Kasey Clifford knifed from baseline to basket to cut Perkins County's lead to 10-7, a 6-0 Lady Plainsmen run included a McClenahan steal and breakaway score.Next Action The Lady Plainsmen began post-season playoff action with a game against the number-one seeded, 19-3 Hershey Lady Wildcats on Tuesday at McCook High School; look for coverage in the next issue.Hayes Center 32, P.C. 61Hayes Center 7 11 6 8—32Perkins Co. 16 16 15 14—61 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Hoffert, J. 2FG (1[x3]) 7/9FT–14; Metcalf 6–12; Prante 5 2/2–12; Ross 6–12; McClenahan 4–8; Hayes Center: Clifford 3 (1) 1/2–10; Howard 3 (1)–9; Cox, C. 2 2/4–6; Cox, S. 1 (1) 1/2–6.

Date: Feb 23rd, 2013
Battles did not occur every day in the Civil War, especially in the winter months when weather conditions made it difficult to maneuver and supply large armies. Winter camps were set up to allow the soldiers a more permanent place to rest, train, and prepare for the return to battle in the spring. The life of Civil War soldiers has been described as long months of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.
"The Civil War Camp gives participants a new appreciation for the hardships faced by our soldiers during this time period," said Anoka County Commissioner Scott Schulte. "We've come to know the battles, but it's the time in between that provided some of the greatest tests."
Anoka County Library invites you to come to Mississippi Library located at 410 Mississippi Street in Fridley, on Saturday, February 23rd from 10:30 am – 1:30 pm, to find out what soldiers did during the long and often grueling yet boring months of winter. Authentically costumed re-enactors from the Second Minnesota Battery of Light Artillery will set up Winter Camp at Mississippi Library and share their in-depth knowledge of the Civil War with visitors. This is an interactive, self-paced program, with activities for both children and adults.
"Winter provided a break from facing the enemy army," said Library Board Vice President Cathy Montain. "But the soldiers still battled harsh weather conditions, boredom, and homesickness."
Civil War Winter Camp is sponsored by the Anoka County Library and is presented by the Anoka County Historical Society. Library programs are free and open to the public. This program is funded with money from Minnesota's Art and Cultural Heritage Fund.
For more information about this and other library programs, call 763-571-1934 or visit your local Anoka County Library.

Born on Jan. 12, 1954 in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY, but raised in nearby Roosevelt, Stern was a quiet youth who chose to remain indoors instead of going outside to play, as he was often subject to teasing from classmates. He was first exposed to the world of broadcasting by his father Ben, a radio engineer and co-owner of Aura Recording, Inc. who repeatedly belittled Howard as a "moron."

Thursday News, January 17
Hemmingson Honored As "Volunteer of the Year"
(Le Mars) -- During last evening's Historical Preservation Commission celebration of the downtown district being listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Le Mars Chamber officials presented Iris Hemmingson with the Le Mars Volunteer of the Year Award.
Hemmingson, serves as the chair person for the Le Mars Historical Preservation Commission.
Iris serves on the Main Street Design Committee which oversees the awarding of the City of Le Mars façade grants. She has been extremely involved in the Main Street program focusing on historic preservation and restoration work of downtown buildings.
Iris was involved with the American Legion Club façade restoration work. She knew the importance of preserving the miracle brick on the building and asked the Legion trustees to restore the miracle block brick and leave it exposed on the front of the building. This is the last building in downtown Le Mars that was made from this local brick product and Iris was able to educate the Trustees of the importance of the preservation of the façade.
Iris also wrote a grant and received funding for Le Mars to do a year long study on each building in a designated area in downtown Le Mars. This study allowed for Le Mars to make application to the National Park Service requesting listing on the National Registry of Historic Places. Iris put in hundreds of hours doing extensive research on the buildings.
With her dedication, Le Mars' downtown is now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Le Mars Police Issue Quarterly Report
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Police Department has issued its quarterly fiscal year report. During this past quarter, Le Mars Police investigated 203 citizen complaints, they were called upon 974 times for service, issued 180 traffic citations and gave 412 warnings. The Le Mars Police also investigated 56 accidents and made 80 arrests. Noteworthy items include receiving a $2600 grant from Plymouth County Community Foundation, in conjunction with the Le Mars Ambulance Service for a defibrillator replacement. The Special Response Team which works in conjunction with Plymouth and Sioux County Sheriff's Departments, was called upon on three separate occasions to Hawarden, Sioux Center, and Matlock. In each instance, the result ended in arrest of suspects without injuries. The Police also hired a new officer.
Merrill Man Turns Himself Over To Authorities After Watching "Siouxland's Most Wanted"
(Le Mars) -- A Merrill man saw himself featured on the television news segment entitled "Siouxland's Most Wanted" and decided to turn himself in. 28 year old Christopher Velarde, turned himself into the Plymouth County Jail on his warrant that was issued by Plymouth County. Velarde was booked into the jail on the warrant for Failure To Appear Rule to show cause 14 counts. Velarde did see the judge and his bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety required. He will have more court appearances later.
Students Need To Immunized Against Whooping Cough
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are making a one-time booster shot for whooping cough a requirement for school enrollment.
The state Department of Public Health says the requirement for students enrolling in seventh grade in the fall becomes effective Wednesday. Officials say it will reduce whooping cough cases, which
surges every few years.
Children usually receive the bacterial vaccine when they're toddlers. They're recommended to get a booster dose around 11 or 12 years old. The booster shot also includes vaccines against tetanus
and diphtheria.
The change will require the vaccine be given to students enrolling in grades seven and up if born on or after September 15th, 2000.
The National Immunization Survey says about 74 percent of Iowa teenagers have received the Tdap vaccine. The national average is about 78 percent.
House Republicans Want To Give Money Back To Taxpayers
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - House Republicans are proposing to divert money into a fund that would be returned to Iowa taxpayers.
Most Republicans signed onto a measure assigned Wednesday to the Ways and Means Committee. The proposal would increase government allocations to a so-called Taxpayer Trust Fund.
State law now requires 10 percent of a budget surplus to go toward cash reserve and emergency funds.
The new proposal would direct any additional money into the trust fund, which could be credited back to taxpayers.
House Speaker Kraig Paulsen says the measure shows that Republicans want any "overpayment of tax dollars" to be returned to residents.
The measure could pass the House, where Republicans hold a majority, but likely would face problems in the Senate, controlled by Democrats.
Ponzi Scheme Artist Looking At Prison Term
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Prosecutors are seeking a prison term of more than seven years for an Iowa man who ran a Ponzi scheme that duped friends and neighbors out of their life savings.
John Holtsinger, of Ottumwa, is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday in federal court in Des Moines. He's pleaded guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Locher asked for an 87-month prison sentence Wednesday, the high end of the recommended range. He says Holtsinger's conduct was egregious in marketing himself as a savvy investment manager when he was running a Ponzi scheme.
Losses totaled about $1 million. Locher says victims "almost certainly will never recover from the emotional and financial harm."
Holtsinger's attorney is asking for a sentence of about four years.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- A day after Hurricane Sandy swept up the East Coast, the Mid-Atlantic region is recovering.
In Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Kristin Fisher reported on Tuesday morning that there was minimal damage on the boardwalk. There was some flooding on the bay side. In Lewes, there was minor street flooding but no major home flooding reports.
Jessica Doyle reported from the Georgetown waterfront at low tide Tuesday morning, surrounded by debris including a half a tree. The Potomac River rose near flood stage. She says the NWS is predicting the worst flooding in 16 years after Sandy. Shortly before 9 a.m., Doyle reported that the Potomac River was jumping the bank in Georgetown with one more hour until high tide.
Over in the Huntington area in the Fairfax County section of Alexandria, Peggy Fox stood by as crews were on standby to see if more residents needed to be evacuated from the area. They were most concerned about the water level at 9 a.m., when the streets could flood and water could pour into homes. Later, it seemed that
In Montgomery County, Andrea McCarren reports that County Executive Ike Leggett says that 17,000 customers are without power, but Pepco is "well positioned" to diminish that number Tuesday. Many roads were still closed in the county as well due to high water and trees in the roadways.

Part 7: Bringing the 8 1/4 Up to SpeedWritten by on October 1, 2004 How to refresh the Mopar 8.25 rearend
While not particularly known for its strength, the ubiquitous 8.25-inchrearend found its way under a whole slew of cars and trucks. Definitelynot as sexy as the 83/4, a drop-in-style differential featuring theconvenience of easy gear swaps or the nuclear bomb-proof Dana 60, butthis Salisbury-style differential is plentiful and reasonably strongwhen healthy. In a perfect world each and every one of us could affordto replace that modest 81/4 with one of Ma Mopar's beefier offerings,but we most certainly don't live in a perfect world. What to do then?It's simple--give the folks at Randy's Ring and Pinion a call and orderthe parts necessary to reinforce your 8.25.
You will recall that our Project Stealth Bomber '89 Diplomat police carwas being prep'd for the Nevada Open Road Challenge last May. We decidednot to take our chances on the stock physically abused unit out back,and instead opted to freshen it up with a new sure grip and an eventaller final drive ratio. Equipped from the factory with a 2.94 opendiff, we calculated our gear ratio based upon cruising speed versus rpm.With a 28-inch tall tire and a 2.94 gear ratio, 110 mph would require4,500 rpm while the same speed with a 2.76 gear and the aforementionedtires drops cruising rpm to a leisurely 4,000 rpm. So, we opted for the2.7s. We also took the opportunity to install an Auburn limited slipunit. The experts at Ramjet Rear End Repair were given the stage toperform the task of bringing the Stealth Bomber's rearend up to speed.

Randy's ring and Pinion offers a complete line of products for the8.25-inch rearend. Randy provided us with axle bearings and seals, anAuburn limited slip, as well as their very own Yukon brandring-and-pinion.Before the main caps can be unbolted, the retaining pin must be removed,as well as the bolts holding the lugs. (When the main caps are off, itis a good idea to mark them with a punch so that you know where to putthem.)Now the entire carrier can come out. Our Diplomat was equipped with anopen 2.94 rearend--not the object of performance dreams.(above & right) Next, we unbolted the ring gear from the carrier. Be aware that it is aright-hand thread. Once unbolted, we knocked the gear off the case witha punch. Here, Eddie Hernandez gets the job done.The pinion is next on the agenda. It required a 11/4-inch socket and animpact wrench. We used an aluminum punch to push the pinion out and theseal.
We opted for an Auburn cone-style limited slip unit. These pieces arenot rebuildable once you wear them out. You simply replace 'em.Eddie has been in the business so long he has made a number of toolsspecifically for these applications, such as this bearing tool. Here,the carrier bearings are installed.(above & right) The inner pinion race was installed by lightly tapping it in. The outerpinion race was next. We slide the outer pinion bearing in afterlightly oiling it. Then we put some white grease inside the pinion seal,tapped it in with a hammer, and we were done with the housing and couldmove on to assembling the carrier.Before assembly, Eddie checked the new gears thoroughly as they may needto be deburred a bit with a grinding disc. This is normally the casewith new gears and not a production flaw.A shop press was employed for pressing on the pinion bearing. Afterinspecting the ring gear, it was bolted on at 50-inch-pounds.(above & right) The pinion went in first by lubing up the pinion bearing with oil, aswell as the splines. We started the splines on the yoke by lightlytapping it with a hammer. Then we greased the pinion nut. The pinion nuthas to crush the crush sleeve. This must be done very carefully. If yougo too far, you can't go back. The pinion ultimately should requirebetween 15- and 20-inch-pounds to turn. Guys like Eddie can spin it byhand and tell if it's tight or just right.
Our Auburn carrier hit the housing requiring some grinding. So wecovered the pinion with a wet rag to catch the particles of metal. Justa little clearancing was required.A dial indicator is used for checking the back-lash (the distancebetween the pinion and the ring gear). In this instance, it was too muchat .014-inch. We reduced the back-lash and rechecked the pattern onceagain. Still no good as the gears should mesh more to the center. Thecarrier needed to be removed to change the pinion depth with shims. Theoriginal shim checked out at .027-inch, so we went with one thatdisplaces .024-inch. That did the trick.

May 28, 2016
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama President Judy Bonner is recommending former Crimson Tide football player Bill Battle as athletic director.
Bonner says outgoing athletic director Mal Moore strongly endorsed Battle as his successor. Moore is stepping down to become a special assistant to Bonner because of health issues.
The Alabama board of trustees' executive committee scheduled a conference call Friday to vote on the selection.
Battle played with Moore on Bear Bryant's 1961 national championship team. He spent seven years as Tennessee's football coach starting in 1970 and his teams went 59-22-2 and won four of five bowl games.
Battle founded the Collegiate Licensing Company in 1981 and served as president and CEO until 2002. He also has served as chairman of the board of Licensing Partners International.
