In all of my classes, we focus on the materials through which meaning is made, encompassing form, content, and medium in order to gain a larger sense of a given work. From close reading poems to considering the cultural implications of writing technologies, I encourage students to consider why writing takes the form it does and how it is, in turn, influenced by the form it takes. My aim in the classroom is to encourage a sense of community in order to facilitate risk-taking and experimentation, and I ask my students to approach our subjects with an open mind and generous spirit, treating one another's work with the same respect we give to published pieces.

BCWRIT 501 Between Fact & Imagination
My work as a scholar and poet is united by a focus on textual materiality—from the surface of the page to the surface of language. My poetry is highly attuned to the texture of words, their resonances and slippages, often drawing on etymology and language play. I rely on collaboration to supplement my individual writing practice and keep me connected to a larger writing world. My collaborative projects include a collaborative translation, with Gabriela Jauregui, of Oulipo poet Paul Braffort, and a performance/interactive book hybrid, created with Kate Durbin and Zach Kleyn, among other works.
In my scholarly work, I am currently completing a monograph that examines the conspicuous foregrounding of mediation in poetry by Gertrude Stein, Blaise Cendrars, and H.D., which alerts the reader to a physical intervention between poet and page. Read alongside the rise of graphic design, which placed what Walter Benjamin called "the upright script" on billboards, in newspapers, and on movie screens, these poems engage the dialogue surrounding media between the wars that promised access to language and images beyond the page.

Here is the map in question:
I just need help finding the best places for mountains, and help designing the mountain symbols. Shouldn't be too hard, and the artist will be recognized for his/her help in the final product, if he/she chooses. Just fit the style of the map however you see fit.
Thanks in advance.

Top Speed that flats fast as well
Let's be honest, if you want the best tubular tire for speed, for one race, then this is your tire. If, on the other hand, you're looking for durability and long wear then you're looking at the wrong tire.
This tire is a low milage, expensive tire -- not recommended for your group ride!
This is perhaps the "only" tire type you will find (in a high-end tubular) which truly pumps up to an extremely high pressure (up to 220psi, I run at around 185 psi), and rolls on the very tip of the tire(for the ultimate reduction in rolling resistance).
Conversely, If you want decent speed without any worries regarding flats then I highly recommend the Continental Comp 19 at around 230 grams for the 28/19 tubular (170 psi easy). Now this is a great tire for the money.I hope this helps!Cheers!!!
Limited Mileage
Extremely light means they wear out very quickly. I ended up getting about 300 to 350 miles out of these before they were to thin to continue racing. High price per mile IMO.

I am currently coordinating a massive PBP effort outlined here:
It's an MMO-PBP-RPG powered by pathfinder as stated, running with multiple rotating GMs and containing infinite adventure possibilities that run through infinite worlds. I have experience running an extremely similar project previously with great success and this version promises to be the higher powered 2.0 with great taste and less filling.
One of the aspects of this game is the PVP Arena feature.
I am exceptionally busy with the inception of this model and directing the developer team at present and we're still prepping it and editing to work out all the kinks before launch, plus my mapping skills are sub par. I have reasonable amatuer GIMP experience and have used generators plenty, but we need something reasonably presentable we can use for this project and hopefully something you'll have fun making.
Anyone can take this, or multiple people can. You can make 1 or 100 maps, we'll find a use for them for sure
Everyone will be credited with any map used (which will be on display and for use) and may have a reverse link at their request to whatever profile they like. This is an all volunteer project so unfortunately pay is not something I can promise, though I have run a couple commissions through this site before for other projects so I am familiar with coordinating this kind of thing.
So lets get to the nitty gritty details!
Subject Details:
Battle maps, must be tactically mirrored, IE, if you have a pit trap or high ground on one side, it needs to be on the other as well. These need to be mirrored as many ways as you intend teams or participants, so if you have 3 team battle map, it needs to be mirrored for all three sides. They don't need to be 100% exact in mirroring, but do need to be reasonably fair for the combatants so as not to cause a disadvantage.
Other special fantasy mechanics can be included like teleport triggers or swinging pendulums and such if you want to include them, just make sure you have notes on these.
Please be sure to clearly mark elevation.
Please mark start locations.
Tactical situations appropriate for fantasy worked in are a boon. You can accompany "secret text" that will be provided for the GM or public text available to all about why your map is awesome or explain features.
Maps should be full color and not subject to copyright restrictions, this is an OGL project. You can use the image for anything you like, it can even be one of your existing images if you wish, but we need the authority to use it for private use for this game, so essentially you're putting it out there and shouldn't expect to sell it later to another developer, though you theoretically could, provided they understand it's already in circulation and will remain so.
While we'll accept and use anything reasonably good, there is a minimum bar here, it should be at least semi-presentable, pro preferred of course, please do not send in MS paint scribbles.
This will be for web use only, though you can include a 300+dpi if you wish, we'll include it in the attachments and that may mean someone some day might DL it and print it for home use.
These will be intended for forum use or through google docs use (editable history and movable custom markers).
Each needs an overlaid hex grid of 5', you can subdue this but please be sure we can actually see it. Actual map size will depend on what kind of map you are trying to build, so lets discuss a few types needed:
Massive Combat: A large coliseum designed for 30 ish players in mass combat. Remember spacing matters because we'll need to be conscious of the fact that someone is going to drop a fireball at some point so full scale line warfare is less likely and smaller battles will be more common in this scenario.
Teams: 2 way and 3 way designed for 2-4 players per team.
Dual: 2 players, enough space for one to not be forced to be hit by enemy AoE spells and attacks.
Time Constraints: Technically none but I'd like to have 5 maps in a months time to prep the launch. Realistically 2 duals, 1 2-team, 1 3-team and one colliseum is prefered. More is great and awesome, but it should be noted the duals are likely to see the most use and be in greatest demand.
Contact Details are dr_klok at yahoo dot com or you can contact me and even join the dev team for the project if you think it would be fun to run or play in this gaming environment here.
Thanks in advance for everyone's interest! And remember, anyone can shop up a map for this, even if someone is already doing one, having multiple varied maps is exactly the idea. Just make one or more, be creative and above all have fun with it!
We have to keep in mind bows and other things will be used along with sword and board warriors.
This is great though for a dual map and is precisely the kind of thing I'm after. Concept certainly approved.

That sounds like a cool project!
Here, I throw you a quick map together over the evening. It's a quick first draft and is pretty rough. I still have to add the shadows, for starter. And the magic circles need work (I am also not crazy about the background). If you don't mind, I'd like to also post it over in the battlemap section of the forums to have more people commenting on it and giving me advices...
Basically, the starting areas are in green on both ships.
There are also teleporters on each ship, keyed to the one of the same colour at both ends of the island...
Finally, at the center of the structure on the island is a red square. I imagined that the player starting his turn on this square would get the opportunity to throw magic projectiles, or gain a bonus to his magic attacks if he already is a spellcaster. Alternatively, it could just score points every turn for the team holding it and the team with the most points at the end wins the game...
Anyway, I'd be happy if you let me know what you think of it...
It's starting to make me think of the notions of the PVP maps of Warhammer online, they had some neat mechanics that could easily be borrowed for a map like this.
Please deff continue in this vein.
Thanks for your kind words.
I reposted the map in the battlemap section to ask for advices and feedback. Moreover, I have a question regarding the signalitic. I'd like to replace the coloured hexagons by some graphical representations, but I figure it would be clearer for the players to use the same icons between maps, that way they would not have to relearn the legends for every map.
You don't happen to have such symbols already decided upon?
I have no such things decided upon. Generally red VS blue is common and iconic though, but hardly necessary.
Feel free to come up with some creative solutions. A uniformity would be nice if it can be afforded.
'k. I will see what I can cook up. Hopefully it won't look too terrible.
If I have anything worth sharing, I will post it here...

Warning signs and Peak thoughts
July 14, 2010
The first half of 2010 brought us several positive economic indicators that were more than welcome.
These indicators were to be expected to a certain degree, due to a beyond challenging 2009. But now, in a two-week span or so, the warning signs of a bad economy, or……a double-dip recession appear to be rearing their ugly heads.
To name a few, in the past 10 days we have seen declines in retail sales, consumer confidence, wholesale inventory sales, as well as a few others. The freight side has seen some sequential declines in trucking and railroad volumes while intermodal continues to appear as a current 'sweet spot' for many shippers (this is occurring on an anecdotal basis and a real basis, too).
In any event, we all know the economy is not exactly on terra firma, but we were, I mean are, still optimistic about the future, right? I like to think we are, but it sure would be nice to see the positive momentum again when perusing analyst reports and the business sections of daily newspapers.
So, here we are in mid-July and what happens next is truly anyone's guess. And with Peak Season creeping up, now would be a great time for increased demand and freight volumes to get moving again.
But for that to happen, we need to see those warning signs turn to ones of optimism as we get deeper into the second half of 2010.
As I said in a recent posting, Peak Season has not truly happened in a few years, but all reports indicate that there will be one in 2010. If it does happen, it means things are going in the right direction, so here's to wishing for a busy Peak Season.

May 31, 2016
DETROIT (AP) -- Authorities have released the name of a 7-year-old Canadian boy who died in a mile-long stretch of wrecks on Interstate 75 in Detroit.
The Wayne County medical examiner's office says he's Aidan Hicks of Windsor, Ontario. A stepsister was also killed. Her name hasn't been released. Other family members remain in a hospital.
The children were two of the three deaths in the weather-related chain of wrecks Thursday. The other victim was 54-year-old Menelaos Manolis of Allen Park.
Police believe a sudden snow squall surprised drivers on the slippery urban interstate. As many as 30 cars, SUVs and semi-trailers were crushed, buckled or damaged.

I am looking for someone to either design or assist me in designing an online game world using photoshop.
This world will be a virtual representation of the world in which a group of medieval recreationists play in real life (think larpers with steel weapons instead of padded ones).
The world is spread out over 5 maps of various sizes and a custom color pallet is required within Photoshop. Each color in the pallet denotes a terrain type and altitude on the map. There are some simple limitations on drawing the map within Photoshop which can be explained and I can put you in touch with others who know how to do things but simply who do not have time to take on this project.
The interesting thing here is that once the world maps are complete, they will be run though a seperate program (that I have) which will read the Photoshop files and process them into actual game maps adding in some terrain elements (trees rocks roads etc) based on the colors selected from the pallet. At that point, I can upload the files to my server and you will actually be able to walk around and see the world.
Now here comes the challenging part...
As mentioned there are 5 total maps, each is a different size and my idea is to use them to represent different areas of a larger world (kinda puzzel pieced together). With this in mind, the maps will each need to be totally surrounded by impassable mountains allowing only for a few openings (ocean passages) that will use hidden teleporters to move your ship to the next map (there is no magic in this world so we will hide them to keep things looking right).
Additionally, as mentioned before, this world represents a virtural equivilent to a real world game played by members of a recreationist society. As such there are real world elements which need to be accounted for, mainly the placement of towns. Each town represent a real world chapter of the organization. Keeping the real world relationships between these chapters is therefore important. Hence if chapter a is north of chapter y and west of chapter x, then the virtural town representing chpater a will also need to be north of y and west of x. All towns MUST have water access to the oceans (can be via a navigatable river flowing into it however). The members of some chapters have also requested certain terrain for there location in the online game.
One of the five maps is to be devoted to a large island where the Imperail City is to be located (this is the only neutral area of the game and is to be a GRAND city). This map also has the only "Underground city" accessable by only caves with water entrances (ships) and a few secret passages from above (hidden throughout the Imperial city).
If you are interested in this project, please let me know. I can be reached via this site but prefer email to email@example.com

|HEA encouraged to spread 'affordable electricity' message
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Affordable electricity was the clear message of the 71st annual meeting of Highline Electric Association (HEA) Monday evening, April 6 in the Holyoke HS auditorium.
Members were encouraged to contact legislators, not about where they stand on climate change legislation, but to focus on keeping the cost of electricity affordable.
General Manager Mark Farnsworth cited a discussion draft called the "American Clean Energy and Security Act" for the 2010 federal budget. Its goal is a carbon emission reduction of 80 percent by 2050, as it establishes a carbon dioxide auction market or "cap and trade" program that would auction carbon emission allowances to the highest bidder.
Farnsworth said he believes the current form of the proposed auction system would give up control of the price of electricity to speculators, multinational corporations and potentially even foreign governments.
He related a message from democratic governor Joe Manchin of West Virginia who said, "A local proposed rate hike of 43 percent is a drop in the bucket compared to cap and trade."
A video clip featuring Glenn English, general manager of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, reiterated the importance of speaking out. He highlighted the strength of the 42 million NRECA members.
"Our elected officials need to know that rural electric cooperatives and their members stand ready to work with Congress to develop a sensible, low-cost approach to climate change," added Farnsworth.
"Let's keep electricity here safe, reliable and affordable," said a voice from the Monday evening audience as the meeting drew to a close. "Get on your phone and talk to your neighbors," she added, in promoting a grassroots effort.
HEA board president Leo Brekel, reporting from the Tri-State G&T board, noted there is not enough generation to accommodate growth nationwide, yet two proposed coal plants in Kansas were denied permits about 18 months ago.
Carbon dioxide emissions was cited as the reason for the permit denial. Brekel emphasized HEA feels affordable, reliable electricity has enabled substantial economic benefit in this territory, and the same is true nationwide.
He also solicited the support of members to contact legislators with the message of caution that any regulation must be correct the first time.
Energy efficiency programs offered for a number of years
HEA and Tri-State have offered energy efficiency programs to members for a number of years.
Farnsworth reported in the last five years, Highline has paid to members $381,297 for irrigation and $77,902 for residential and commercial energy efficiency credits.
Some of the existing credits have been changed for 2009, and an energy efficiency credit for appliances has been added.
Additionally, HEA offers energy audits and will help members with ideas to save money in the heating and cooling of homes and businesses.
Farnsworth said they are reviewing the American Recovery and Re-investment Act, or the stimulus money, to see if there are options to be pursued for HEA members.
HEA's general manager also cited the recovered energy project which is now in commercial production. It is estimated it will lower HEA power costs by $500,000 per year over the 20 years of the contract.
The project will meet all RPS (Renewables Portfolio Standards) requirements through 2015 and 50 percent of its RPS requirements by the year 2020. Farnsworth said HEA is also looking into the possibility of a small hydro system in the South Platte Valley.
The project has taken over five years to negotiate and build, and the HEA board has placed the cooperative in the forefront of renewable energy in Colorado and this region.
Highline has also developed an interconnection procedure and is working with wind developers to utilize its existing infrastructure to facilitate community-sized wind projects.
Other options to members include a net metering policy for those who want to own a small wind or solar system or availability of purchasing renewable energy credits for those who don't want to build their own project.
PUC investigation opposed
Members were also asked for assistance with a new issue—a docket opened recently by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). The docket is strongly opposed by HEA and Tri-State.
PUC is determining whether to expand its regulatory jurisdiction to include Tri-State's resource planning decisions.
The expanded regulation would diminish local, democratic control of electric cooperatives and give the PUC greater control over how Tri-State generates and provides electric power to its members in Colorado. This could also impact Tri-State's members in Wyoming, New Mexico and Nebraska, as well.
Tri-State General Manager Ken Anderson and company rep Mike McGinnis both spoke in opposition to the Colorado PUC study, as well as the federal cap and trade program.
They pointed out Highline takes advantage of energy-saving opportunities and is an excellent environmental steward.
Highline's take on the PUC docket is it's attempting to fix something that isn't broken, as Tri-State's board continually evaluates its resource plans to ensure a reliable and affordable supply of electric power. Its plans are fiscally responsible to its members and are responsive to public concerns.
Tri-State hopes the PUC will continue to respect the value of local control and the cooperative business model, along with the fact Tri-State is working proactively to develop responsible resource plans.
Also speaking to Highline members Monday night was Western United Supply CEO Mike Prom. His company is a materials supplier for HEA.
HEA remains strong
Highline continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, and its financial standing remains strong, reported Farnsworth Monday night. HEA's equity for 2008 was 58.5 percent. This measures the extent members have financed the plant in lieu of borrowed capital.
Operating revenues for 2008 were over $40.4 million, which is up $2.79 million from the previous
year. The increase came from a rate increase and higher kilowatt-hour sales.
The largest purchaser of electricity was irrigation with 48.6 percent of the kWh sold. Large commercial followed with 33.2 percent, residential at 12.96 percent and small commercial at 5.2 percent.
HEA purchased 462,713,560 kWh in 2008 from its power supplier, Tri-State. This was up 33.3 million from the previous year.
Operating margins in 2008 were a negative $1.065 million. Farnsworth explained what happened. Tri-State passed on an 11.3 percent rate increase, and HEA raised member rates only seven percent, budgeting for operating margins of only $208,000.
First, there was little irrigation in August for a little over two weeks, which greatly impacted usage. Since HEA had set a demand peak of 194 megawatts with very little kWh sales, cost of power for August 2008 was 25 percent higher than 2007, after being adjusted for the rate increase.
Secondly, HEA's largest single load, the Rockies Express Gas Compression station, was scheduled to be at full operation in the last six months of 2008. It operated only at half load, which impacted total usage, as well.
Highline operating margins are generated from the sale of electricity to members. Other margins are received from other cooperatives of which HEA is a member.
Highline total margins for 2008 were $3.295. While HEA generated operating margins at a negative $1.065, $4.07 million was generated by memberships in Tri-State, Western United and CFC. Additionally, $260,000 was earned in interest. This margin of $3.295 million was allocated in capital credits.
The member capital credit balance is $49.3 million, of which $17.8 million is HEA capital credits and $31.5 million is Tri-State credits.
In 2008, Farnsworth reported HEA added almost 36.5 miles of new overhead, underground and transmission lines at a cost of $2.3 million. That doesn't include the 12 miles of transmission line and a new substation for the Trailblazer Recovered Energy Project.
The Highline utility plant ended the year valued at $77.1 million, up $4.37 million from last year. Cost to maintain the plant and make sure electricity is available was 14 percent of total expenses in 2008.
Depreciation and interest was another eight percent, and cost of power was 78 percent of total expenses. Farnsworth pointed out many non-irrigation systems' cost of power are in the 66 percent range.
Because of this larger percentage of power costs, HEA has developed irrigation load control to help its members lower their costs. Two load control programs can be utilized, with total savings for the irrigation at either eight percent or 12 percent, depending on which programs are signed up for.
Four directors elected
No contested races were seen for board seats in this year's HEA election. Re-elected to three-year terms on the board were Jim Lueck of Iliff, Dist. 1; Mike Bennett of Holyoke, Dist. 2; Jim Fender of Ovid, Dist. 3; and Merlin Prior of Imperial, Neb., Dist. 4.
Youth reports presented
Josh Sonnenberg of Sterling presented a thorough report of his participation in the Colorado Rural Electric Association conference in Denver last June, National REA Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. in July and Youth Leadership Conference in New Orleans, La. in February.
Heather Brownell of Fleming reported on the leadership camp near Steamboat Springs, which she and Jaden Woltemath of Revere attended last summer.
Scholarships awarded
Board president Leo Brekel announced 2009 scholarship winners during his report at Monday's meeting.
Earning the $1,000 Basin Electric member cooperative consumer scholarship is Marissa Marin of Caliche, with alternate Cooper Jackson of Sterling.
Winners of $1,000 HEA scholarships to four-year colleges are Jackson, Daniel Huss of Caliche, Hillary Lenz of Wray, Alexander Schmidt of Fleming and Kim Brophy of Chase County Schools. Rachel Pauling of Prairie is the alternate.
$1,000 HEA scholarship winners to two-year or technical schools are Alexa Kippes of Caliche, Dara Kipp of Caliche, Colleen Weaver of Haxtun, Jessica Thompson of Caliche and Brandon Piel of Sterling. Alternate is Preston Bernhardt of Chase County.
Winners of $500 Tri-State G&T/HEA scholarships are Tina Kielian of Caliche and Phawn Carper of Holyoke, with Danielle Conklin of Haxtun as alternate.

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Ales Hemsky netted the deciding goal in the
shotout, as the Edmonton Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit to overcome
the Vancouver Canucks, 3-2, at Rogers Centre.
Hemsky beat Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo cleanly with a wrister to end the
second round, following up Sam Gagner's backhander on Edmonton's first try.
Devan Dubnyk stopped both Alex Edler and Alex Burrows to salt away the
Hemsky and Jordan Eberle scored in regulation for the Oilers, who halted a
four-game slide to their division rivals in their season opener. Dubnyk ended
up with 27 saves.
Edler and Zack Kassian tallied for the Canucks, who put together a better
effort than Saturday's 7-3 loss to Anaheim but were lucky to come up with one
point. Luongo finished with 30 stops in his first start of the year.

I'm looking for a version control system to fit this book editing use case:
Step 1: An author checks in her manuscript.
Step 2: An editor edits the author's manuscript (with Word's "Track Changes" feature on).
Step 3: The author looks at the editor's changes (thanks to the "Track Changes" feature), rejecting some and also adding new text.
Step 4: We want to compare the author's new version (resulting from Step 3) to the author's original manuscript (in Step 1). We want a report of *only* the author's changes and # of words changed (none of the editor's changes in Step 2), since we bill for the new words she adds in Step 3.
If this is possible with TortoiseSVN, how can I do it? If not, what other system(s) can I use?
Thanks for your help!

I have sat back, and heard countless complaints from Penn State Alumni, current student, and fans, about the current punishment to Penn State and their football program. For those saying, "how can you say 14 years never happened?" Its not that they are acting like 14 years never happened. The wins will still show up in the record book, but will have an * next to them, with the consequences of the events that took place.
The main reason they are stripping wins, is not to punish the players, but to make a clear point, that if the coaches would have been fired in 1998, there is a VERY good chance Penn State would not have won the games they have won from 1998 to the 2011. They are taking the games starting from 1998, because this is where the solid evidence of a cover up take place.
I myself, am a two time state runner up in High School wrestling. I worked very hard to achieve these wins and my own personal goal, but if it came out that my coach was covering a sex scandal, involving children, and that all his team wins and the wins of his students would be stripped, I would not be upset. In my mind I won those matches fair and square, but would I have won those matches without my coach? Probably not.
Penn State is lucky with what they got, they could have done what they did with SMU, taking away two seasons of football. Not only is Penn State been granted to continue to play regular season games, they also didn't lose home games, something that was discussed in the original punishment. To stand behind Penn State and have pride is one thing, but to not see the justification in the penalty is ridiculous.
I can understand people claiming that they are punishing the new football players, by taking away bowl eligibility, but that is not the reason you play the game. A lot of players play college football, because they get a full scholarship to a major university, and the hopes to be picked up by the NFL.
Do you honestly think the current roster for PSU is not going to go out and play their hearts out? My father was a running back for Syracuse University, and almost lost his leg and life in a career ending injury. My father always tells me the experience was amazing. As an athlete, you don't care about your wins and losses, you care about the memories, and your team. The only people who are upset are the fans, who cling onto the wins.
The NFL drafts great players, not an entire team that plays in a bowl game. Some of the greatest players in the NFL did not need a bowl game to prove their greatness. If you want to come out and say, "They are punishing the players/students because they are not eligible for bowl games." The NCAA is allowing all players to go to other teams that ARE bowl eligible. Those who do stay at Penn State will STILL get their scholarships, and education. Sounds fair to me. Those who do leave for another team and bowl eligibility, go to show you that they are not Penn State proud, they do not care about your team or legacy, they care about bowl game championships, and you should say good riddance to them!
I have yet to hear anyone give me a solid reason why this punishment is not fair. Penn State fans need to realize the damage that was done, and Penn State HAS to fix their image. Believe it or not, there are people who go to Penn State that don't care about the football team. Who actually want an education. This is damage control, and just like any company, corporation, business, ect, Penn State needs to do everything in their power to fix what Paterno, Sandusky, and everyone involved did to Penn State.
*An Update since I last wrote the blog in response to people who still think they went too far.
You take pride in your team, not your wins and records. You play the game for the love of the sport, not bowl games and championships. I have won championships, I have great success in sports. I turned down scholarships for wrestling. Yes, you play to win, to be the best, but when you have a team, you are a family, there is a bond that no fan can ever be a part of, and will never know the great feeling YOU had. Yes, the fans were THERE to cheer you on, but the team made it happen.
Past players are not being punished, they had the greatest feelings of winning, not only winning, but winning as a team, as a family. You can strip them of their wins, but they already won. Current players can leave if they want to play bowl games, but as I mentioned before, if they leave, who were they there for? The team, YOU the fans, or themselves?
It's the fans who need to step back, stop being selfish, and realize the only ones who are being effect by this, is them. If you want to think that this fine is going to hurt Penn State financially, really think about this season. With all the loyal fans, they will sell out every game, and show they are still proud fans and cheer just as hard. I'm sure sales will sore this year, I'm sure there will be charities to collect money for the school. Penn State will be fine, and the fans should still be proud, its the school you cheer for, but don't be blind. Actions had to be done, and the way they were done was in a fair manner. Again, the only ones who are truly effected are the fans, who think wins are the only thing that matters.

Next are the mountains. The original map uses crescents of short strokes to show the general "downhill" shape of Jamaica's ridge of mountains, and its highest peak (Blue Mountain). With geodata, we can grab this too:
We place overlapping crescents along the ridgeline:
and stroke them:
This still looks pretty mechanical, though. We can improve the look a lot by adding just a little bit of randomness; it looks like the strokes on the original map were hand-engraved, so this isn't a stretch:

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Matthew Dellavedova tallied 19 points and
seven rebounds to lead the Saint Mary's Gaels to a 74-64 victory over the San
Diego Toreros in a West Coast Conference battle at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Dellavedova did most of his damage from 3-point range, shooting 5-of-11 from
beyond the arc for Saint Mary's (21-4, 10-1 WCC), which won its ninth straight
game. Brad Waldow made 8-of-9 from the field for 18 points.
For San Diego (13-13, 6-5), Johnny Dee logged 19 points and seven rebounds,
while Chris Anderson stuffed the stat sheet with 10 points, six rebounds, five
assists, and four steals. The Toreros had won back-to-back games coming into
the contest.
Saint Mary's opened the game on a 12-2 run, but San Diego clawed its way back
to make its deficit just two, 36-34, heading into halftime.
The Gaels used a 9-0 surge early in the second half to take a 47-37 lead, and
they would never relinquish that advantage down the stretch, leading by as
many as 17 along the way.
Saint Mary's shot 49.1 percent from the field, which included a 12-of-29
showing from 3-point territory. San Diego shot less than 40 percent from the
field on the evening.

Fight back against the signs of aging skin with Pevonia Botanica Power Repair. As age advances, skin undergoes a number of changes, particularly a lack of elasticity and firmness. The natural collagen and elastin content slowly declines, and skin takes longer to recover from the assaults of UV rays from the sun and tanning beds, environmental dust and dirt, diet and other stresses.
Pevonia Botanica Power Repair helps replenish these levels by presenting additional sources of natural collagen and elastin, allowing the skin to absorb them readily and freely. As part of the process of aging, hydration also becomes a difficulty with the resulting fine lines, crepiness and flaking. It is a mistake to try to force the skin to absorb fluids; instead, the Pevonia Botanica Power Repair suite of skin care products provides emollients which block loss of moisture while encouraging the cells to spontaneously absorb new sources of aqueous materials and nourishment. The Pevonia Botanica Power Repair line approaches these tasks with a carefully designed set of products to allow you to address the needs of your own particular condition.
Aging is, of course, a consideration that must addressed in skin care. Pevonia Botanica Power Repair approaches the challenges of aging skin with a line of powerful resources to help alleviate the most aggravating effects of age upon skin.
As with any skin care regimen, it is important to begin with a thorough, but gentle, cleansing. Pevonia Power Repair Hydrating Cleanser lifts out impurities from the skin that have been deposited through environmental exposure. At the same time, it lays down a layer of collagen and elastin upon which the next steps can build. Collagen and elastin are both vital to smooth, firm skin, but are different in structure and must be addressed separately. Collagen is a connective tissue, meant to provide structure to the skin. An entirely different element, elastin, allows the skin to stretch (such as when you smile) and then regain its original shape. That is why Pevonia Power Repair Marine Collagen Cream offers your skin this structural protein for absorption, while Pevonia Power Repair Marine Elastine Cream provides a source of elastin. Both creams can be applied during your morning or evening skin care regimen, providing your skin with both of these vital materials while also adding emollients to protect and provide hydrating qualities.
The eye zone presents its own particular challenges. Pevonia Power Repair Collastine Eye Fluid addresses the fine wrinkles and crepiness that can occur, particularly at the outer corner of your eyes. Finish with Pevonia Hydrating Lotion, to keep your skin soft and supple.

US gains 157K jobs; jobless rate rises to 7.9 pct.
WASHINGTON The U.S. job market is proving sturdier than expected at a time when the economy is under pressure from Washington gridlock and the threat of government spending cuts.
Employers added 157,000 jobs in January, and hiring was much stronger at the end of last year than the government had previously estimated.
The Labor Department's estimated job gains for the final two months of 2012 - a period when the economy was being threatened by the fiscal cliff - rose from 161,000 to 247,000 for November and from 155,000 to 196,000 for December.
The mostly encouraging jobs report Friday included one negative sign: The unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in December. The rate is calculated from a survey of households, and more people in that survey said they were unemployed.
The monthly job gains are derived from a separate survey of employers.
The hiring picture over the past two years also looked stronger after the department's annual revisions. The revisions showed that employers added an average of roughly 180,000 jobs a month in 2012 and 2011. That was up from previous estimates of about 150,000.
"The significantly stronger payroll gains tell us the economy has a lot more momentum than what we had thought," Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said in a research note.
Stocks surged immediately after trading began at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, an hour after the jobs report was released. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 130 points and briefly touched 14,000 for the first time in more than five years, before falling back.
Other economic news Friday contributed to the stock rally. Manufacturing expanded at a much faster pace in January compared with December, a private survey found. Ford, Chrysler and General Motors all reported double-digit sales gains for January. And construction spending rose in December at a healthy pace.
The employment report revealed a notable shift in the job market: More hiring by construction companies. They added 28,000 jobs in January and nearly 100,000 over the past four months. Those job gains are consistent with a rebound in home construction and a broader recovery in housing.
Retailers added 33,000 positions. Health care gained 23,000 jobs. Manufacturers reported a small increase of 4,000. Restaurants and hotels added 17,000.
The solid hiring in retail, construction, restaurants and hotels suggested that such companies expect consumer spending to hold up in coming months.
"The strong and steady job gains from retail trade and construction look a lot more like a normal economic expansion," said Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West. "This is a sign that consumer spending is playing a far more important role in this expansion than it has so far."
The job market has remained steady despite pressure on the economy from the rift between President Barack Obama and Republicans over taxes and spending. Across-the-board spending cuts are set to kick in March 1. Financing to run the government will expire by March 27, raising the threat of a government shutdown. And the federal borrowing cap must be raised by May 18 or the government could default on its debt.
Friday's jobs report showed that average hourly wages rose 4 cents to $23.78 and have risen an encouraging 2.1 percent in the past 12 months. That's slightly above the inflation rate, which was 1.7 percent.
Last month's hiring should cushion the impact of the higher Social Security taxes that most consumers are paying this year. And it would help the economy resume growing after it shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter.

May 31, 2016
Jackson, Miss.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says 513 Mississippians cast provisional ballots June 3 because they lacked proper identification, with at least 177 returning later to show identification and get votes counted.
Hosemann, who released the figures Wednesday, says Mississippi's first election with voter ID was a success, saying he saw no evidence anyone was turned away.
Critics had said they feared an ID requirement would hurt minorities, the poor and older voters.
Voters now must present a driver's license or other government-issued photo identification.
A person without ID can vote by affidavit ballot, which will be counted if the person goes to an election clerk's office within five days to show identification.
A state constitutional amendment for voter ID was approved in 2011, with legislators putting the mandate into law in 2012.

I had a request for some of the elements I used in my maps so I thought I would post them here for anyone who so desires.
I will also add more brushes as and when I have a need for them. But for now, here are the brushes I used on Aronbor here and a bunch of others I have created since.
As well as the tree pack I've also now split the markers into two different brush packs as I want to keep them as uncluttered as possible. So the shaded icons are in one pack and if you want to shade yourself there's an outlined brush pack instead.
Here's an image that shows all the brushes that are currently in the three packs...
Note that all of the above brushes are at their actual size except the castles and trees which have been shrunk quite a lot to keep the image size down.
Here's a layer I made to aid me doing quick forests. I've had to crop it down to fit the filesize requirements of this forum, which is a shame although it's still a big file. (The original is the same size as my current maps, so 3704 * 4400). It's not perfect, there's some banding on it when zoomed out (as can be seen on the thumbnail) but it's nothing too bad. To use it, just add a layer mask to hide it, then paint where your forest need to be and then go around the edges and paint out any unwanted trees.
I also have a layer with the shadows I use between the trees but this is easy enough to do from scratch.
I got sidetracked from re-doing my smaller multi-tree forest brushes but I will sort them out one day and will post them up once I'm happy with them.
For the mountains and hills, check out Vhailor27's brushes that were reverse-engineered from the mountains on my Aronbor map here.
Any brushes posted here are free to use for whatever purpose you so desire. A little mention for credit would be nice though.

From their hearts: Aimee Copeland's hometown gives her $19,000
PHOTOS | A home fit for Aimee
Home renovations start for Aimee Copeland
SNELLVILLE, Ga. -- Monday night, Aimee Copeland's hometown of Snellville gave her a check for $19,000, from their hearts.
It's the money raised during a weekend benefit concert the city held last month.
Aimee's neighbors and friends are trying to help her pay her massive medical bills, as she fights the effects of a flesh-eating bacterial infection. She contracted it this past spring when she fell into the Little Tallapoosa during an outing with friends near the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, where she was attending graduate school.
Aimee's father and sister, Andy and Paige Copeland, walked into Monday night's City Council meeting not knowing what to expect.
They have been receiving a lot of get-well cards for Aimee, cards that have moved them all to tears of gratitude.
But the one presented to them at the beginning of the council meeting was one very big get-well card.
City Council members and the volunteers who organized last month's benefit concert gathered in the front of the meeting room holding one of those giant, ceremonial checks -- which was covered so Andy and Paige could not see the amount, at first.
Paige wiped a tear from her eye as a woman from the city, helping hold up the check, made the announcement.
"We are proud that we raised $17,734.83. But because of an anonymous donation, we have a new, grand total. Everybody ready? $19,000!"
The cover came off of the big check. Andy and Paige stood and smiled and applauded, as everyone in the packed room cheered.
$19,000 -- thanks to volunteers who organized the June 15-16 benefit concert hosted by the Snellville Tourism and Trade Association, and thanks to thousands of donors from across metro Atlanta who showed up, bought t-shirts, pins, food and drink, with the proceeds going to Aimee.
"I mean it just amazes me when I look around this room," Andy Copeland said as he received the money with Paige at his side. She wept as his voice cracked and he fought back tears of his own. "I see so many people that I just love to death. And I'll never forget this. And I know Aimee won't, either. And I know that her heart goes out to you just as mine does. And I wish she could be here today to accept the check. But there will be a day that she'll be here."
Andy Copeland is always eager to tell all who ask him how well Aimee is recovering, and how she is overcoming the amputations of her hands, left leg and right foot, and other medical effects of the infection.
"This week, actually, they're going to be, basically, fitting her for her prosthetics," Andy told reporters after the presentation. "The $19,000 could go a long way toward her prosthetic limbs. We're going to need a manual set, we're going to need what is called a myoelectric set" and he expects the prosthetics will cost many times that amount.
"The will and determination that she has is just absolutely astonishing," he said. "I just don't think there's much that can hold her back... [Being fitted for her prosthetics] is going to be a significant event. I'm really looking forward to it. I think this is quite significant that, at this early stage, she can go ahead and start, basically, being able to have a little bit higher level dexterity than what she has now. But keep in mind, her dexterity is pretty doggone good."
He described again how Aimee started feeding herself and brushing her teeth late last week, using a device that attaches to her arm and holds objects like her toothbrush and dinnerware.
"You'd be surprised what she can do with her arms. And I call them arms, a lot of people refer to them as stumps, Aimee actually lovingly refers to them as nubs. She has a term, also, for her high hip amputation area. She calls [the area] 'Miss F.' 'Miss F' has her own personality. The 'F' is for femur. And there's only about two inches of femur bone that remains in that area. That's the area that received most of the skin grafts. 'Miss F' is going to take a little longer to get dressed out in a prosthetic limb; that's probably going to be the last phase, because we want to make sure that that area of her body is completely healthy."
On Tuesday, the Copelands will meet with a contractor who has offered to build, free of charge, an addition to the Copelands' Snellville home that will be outfitted for Amy's needs.
She is currently in an in-patient rehab facility in Snellville. She hopes to come home by the end of August, when her home's new addition is, coincidentally, expected to be complete.
"I think that is really important, because we want to bring Aimee home... to a house that accomodates her needs," Andy said. "But it's not just us that has these problems. And we're hoping that the community will continue not just to reach out to us, but to other people in need as well."
Here in Snellville, Aimee is everyone's daughter, sister.
At the City Council meeting, the council and the Copelands thanked two of Aimee's lifelong friends, a classmate from childhood, Brianna Quador, and her mother Vickie Gallup, for organizing the benefit concert for Aimee -- and it was just the beginning, they said.
"She's got a long road ahead of her," Brianna said. "And they're going to need all the financial help, all the moral support, everything, that they can get in this time of need. And we're all here for them, you know. That's what Snellville is about. The community joined together for one of our own."
"I just thank you all, from the bottom of my heart," Andy told everyone. "Thank you, all." And he and Paige began embracing everyone around them, in tears of gratitude.

OHIO COUNTY - Some employees of Ohio County Schools will now be required to wear a uniform to work to comply with a debated uniform policy that was approved by a 4-1 vote at the board of education meeting Wednesday at Wheeling Park High School.
Board members James Jorden, Christine Carder, Sarah Koegler and Shane Mallett voted "yes" on the policy while board member Gary Kestner voted "no." Kestner could not be reached for comment on his decision following the meeting.
The uniform policy, Policy 4024, will require all child nutrition, custodial, facilities and maintenance and transportation employees of Ohio County Schools to wear a designated shirt and pants to work. Until now, employees have had access to uniforms, but they have not been required to wear them. The board has cited safety concerns as the primary reason driving the policy.

The Ohio County Board of Education passes a uniform policy that will require some Ohio County Schools employees to wear a designated shirt and pants to work. Pictured from left are board President James Jorden and Superintendent Dianna Vargo.
Previously, school employees had voiced concerns about a portion of the policy that defined disciplinary actions for employees who failed to wear the uniform. In response, the board altered the policy to list the disciplinary actions based on an employee's number of offenses.
"We actually listed the offenses - what happens after the first offense, what happens after the second offense. As our board stated at the October meeting, we do not wish to terminate anyone. We work with our employees and have not had any problems with our transportation department, who have been underneath a uniform policy for the past years," Superintendent Dianna Vargo said. "We are very appreciative of the remarks that were made. We did go back and made the adjustments to the policy and listed the offenses so it was part of their request."
The policy states an employee is not eligible for termination until his or her sixth offense for failing to wear a uniform.
"I'm happy with the decision that was made on the uniforms," Ken Siburt, president of Ohio County School Service Personnel Association, said. "We feel that the board has gone above and beyond in setting up procedures to address issues if people don't have uniforms. Also, if somebody decides not to wear the uniform, it's well-defined on the steps that are taken for remedying that situation. There's not a bad side at all, as long as you are wearing the uniform you are fine."
The Ohio County Board of Education will hold its next regular meeting at 6 p.m. Nov. 26 at the board office in Elm Grove.

Good luck Alabama, I did not draw much this year, still waiting on WY results to see if the Wife and I drew our Tags... 4 Points each hoping that its enough for the unit we put in for.
Trying to save the $$$ all I can because I'm planning an Alaska trip in 2015 or 2016. With that said DIY is the only way to go and landowner tags are just too expensive with the saving I'm trying to do. I could only hunt elk if 2-3 people split the cost of a drop camp. Still not giving up on the elk this year but more than likely it will be either western Nebraska rifle mule deer and archery antelope or leftover rifle antelope in Wyoming. I can't justify paying for landowner vouchers when I can hunt mule deer so cheap in Nebraska. Besides there are some big mulies there. There was one killed about a half mile from where I hunt that gross scored 176 typical. I might not connect on an antelope with archery gear but hey that's hunting. Thanks for the ideas and best of luck to you as well. I take it from your post that the draws didn't go as planned for you either?
Good luck Alabama, I did not draw much this year, still waiting on WY results to see if the Wife and I drew our Tags... 4 Points each hoping that its enough for the unit we put in for.
I am not poor, Drive a 10 Year old car, bought the first house for my wife and child, but I am definitely not rich. But sometimes I wonder I am would be better off buying a good landowner tag every year for under $2000, rather then spend the same amount every year on applications and not draw anything yet again. At the moment my consolidation price is an over the counter tag in California where a big forky is a big deer. I guess I pay every year to dream, with my luck I will draw everything the same year and not be able to go. I guess its all about priorities, If you have a chance at hunting big deer near home, than that is what I would do... Crossing my fingers for the Wyoming draw.

When I sync a calender entry originating on my Blackberry with Funambol Blackberry client 7.2.3, the calender item shows up at the correct time in the Zimbra calender.
When I peform the same function with the latest SyncJE software on the same phone to the same account on the same server, the appointment shows up 8 hours early (ie Appointment on BB = 9pm, it shows up in Zimbra @ 1pm or 8 hours earlier on the same day).
I've scoured the phone, Funambol devices, Funambol users, Zimbra config, and everything else I could think of to ensure the timezone settings are ok, but I don't think that matters much because the Funambol client syncs fine.
If I originate the calender entry on zimbra, it shows up on the BBerry at the correct time.
Any ideas?

The Nesco® Portable Induction Cooktop is user friendly and energy efficient. Its smooth, ceramic glass top wipes clean with ease. Five different modes with instant temperature adjustments make cooking virtually fail-safe. Because the heat is generated in the pan, not the element, less energy is wasted than with gas or electric stoves. Use it in dorm rooms, offices, RV's, outdoors or in the kitchen.
An electric current passing through the inducton coil beneath the surface creates an electromagnetic field.
The electromagnetic field generates heat directly into ferrous metal cookware placed on the cooktop, bypassing the glass surface. So the pan gets hot - the cooktop doesn't.

In midst of a kitchen renovation and didn't want to eat out everyday. After a lot of research decided to give this a try. Wow! It's not typical electric cooking since induction is more efficient so pans warm faster and water boils quicker. First dish was sauteed kale and pasta, so sauteed in one pan, boiled in the other and then mixed. Thought about getting another one to duplicate the stove experience, but will just focus on one pot meals going forward - like jambalaya.
Heat settings work a little better than you would think, so you can adjust lower if you want. Cast iron stays very hot, so you can save some $$. Overall, would say pleasantly surprised and would recommend to anyone who needs a temporary (or outdoors) solution.

Great little cooktop
Mar. 1, 2014
I ordered this cooktop for use in my RV. During the summer months the propane stove heats the space up too much. I thought I would try a portable cooktop and this one caught my attention. I received it and took it to the RV only to discover only two of my existing cookware pieces would work due to the induction technology. I indulged and bought a new set of cookware and have been thrilled with the performance of this unit. Heats food much faster and more evenly than the flame of my stove. I would recommend this unit for anyone living in an small area.

Induction burner

I have had my induction burner for a couple of months now and am so pleased that I rarely use my stove. Just to be able to use a sponge to wipe it of is a blessing since I has a glass top stove that is a pain to clean.
I also have had 7 jet streams over the years and use that all the time also and cooks perfect. Nesco would be my first purchase place for anything made and commend them for their service when needed.

More good news

I've already written one review and had hoped just to add to it, but here's an addendum. After much use, I've come to like the 5 cooking modes which seem to be very accurate for what they are labeled. The unit is also very responsive when changing modes. This morning I prepared crêpes and found that mode 3 provided the perfect temperature to the pan for cooking the crêpes to perfection. I am using a pan that has extremely even heat distribution and that helps. Dare I mention Anolon Nouvelle Copper anodized aluminum cookware with its non-stick properties. I didn't even use cooking spray in the pan and the crêpes came out perfectly. For quick and easy preparation this little unit is a jewel.

Great Cooktop
Sep. 13, 2012
I have recently received this unit and have put it through it paces. I have been cooking on induction units for 4 or 5 years and have one built-in and 3 free standing. Compared to top of the line units the Nesco measures up quite favorably. I like the 5 cooking modes, and it is very responsive when moving from one to the other. This is a nice feature for beginning induction users.
The one thing I miss on this unit, compared to others, is a timer. I have come to be dependent on a timer, especially with my pressure cooker, but for the price this is an excellent unit that I will use with confidence and recommend without hesitation or reservation.

Buck Continues to be Honored
On Wednesday night, a handful of us from the front office attended the book launch party of The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America, written by KC Star sports columnist Joe Posnanski. The book, which hits stores this week, details a summer spent traveling the country with Buck.
Held at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the event quickly turned from a simple book signing to a full-fledged tribute to Buck, equipped with live music, several Buck stories, adventures and memories, plus a $10,000 donation to the John "Buck" O'Neil Education and Research Center – Buck's greatest passion. No big surprise to anyone, Buck O'Neil is missed around this city!
In fact, since we announced the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat Program in January, we are finding out first hand just how many people looked up to Buck. The nominations have been pouring in to fill Buck's seat at Kauffman Stadium with members of the community who strive to live their lives as Buck had. As we inch closer to Opening Day – April 2 vs. Boston – we encourage everyone to keep sending in those nomination forms, found at royals.com, to help us honor Buck.

Ned Yost Media Session: May 8
The roster move that optioned Tommy Hottovy back to Omaha and recalled Vin Mazzaro was the main topic of discussion this afternoon when manager Ned Yost met with the media. Yost said they need some extra length in the bullpen after the Royals have expended their two long guys over the past couple days. Yost said he has confidence that Danny Duffy will give them a strong start and throw a good game this evening against Boston. However, you never know if something unforeseen were to happen, like an injury, and they would have to turn to the bullpen early then they would have some protection with Mazzaro out there. He went on to say Hottovy did a very nice job when he was up here and having three lefties in the pen was a nice luxury, but a long guy for protection for the Royals is needed right now.
Yost said the Royals have no plan on using Mazzaro as a starter here, even though he was in the starting rotation with Omaha. He said he is taking it one day at a time and Mazzaro is here to be the Royals' protection tonight. Yost also added having three long-relievers in the bullpen is not something you really want to have as a manager, but for now it is needed and they are working daily to get the starting kinks worked out.

Ned Yost media session: May 1
Heading into Sunday's 1:10 series finale with the Minnesota Twins, Royals manager Ned Yost spoke about the transformation he has seen in the roster since taking over in May 2010. He said that his current squad features talent and a positive mentality that is translating into wins.
"A winning mentality is one where each player on your 25-man roster goes out and gives their best effort every single day," Yost said. "That's what a winner does."
Luke Hochevar will make his seventh start of the season for the Royals on Sunday. Yost pointed out that he has seen steady improvement from Hochevar since taking over last season, and explained that his big right-hander features the kind of stuff that allows him to pitch out of trouble.
Yost praised the continued success of rookie reliever Aaron Crow, saying that he is most impressed with Crow's 97 miles per hour fastball and above average slider. Yost envisions Crow getting stronger in the future as he continues to develop a curveball and changeup.
The skipper also noted that he will keep his regular 5-man rotation through June 20th. He said that each pitcher will have an extra day four times between now and then.

Good to hear about the positive attitudes in the club house. I was able to attend the Friday night game. Great seats, great baseball, Dollar night & fireworks with my daughter. She has become an great fan of the game. What a better way to spend a friday night. I do miss Grienke. I hope his battle with other problems is over come and he can become a positive influence where ever he is. The change in Gordon is amazing.
