Reliable Server Storage
This review is from: Fujitsu MAT3147NC 147GB 10000 RPM 8MB Cache SCSI Ultra320 80pin 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Big, Quick, Quiet, Reliable
Cons: Hey they *could* be cheaper!
Other Thoughts: We build and run large servers. Every server we have built in the past couple of years has arrays of these drives in RAID 5. We have had nothing but good experience with enterprise class Fujitsu drives and we use nothing else.

bad drives
This review is from: Fujitsu MAT3147NC 147GB 10000 RPM 8MB Cache SCSI Ultra320 80pin 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Comments: I bought four of these. One was DOA and I had to return the drive via RMA to fujitsu. The replacement was DOA also. Then the next replacement was DOA too. And wouldn't you know...up to the fourth replacement now and this one just went bad today...at least it wasn't DOA though...I wouldn't buy these drives again if I had the chance and I don't reccomend it to you.

Congress and campuses feud over social sciences
They explore how people choose presidents, gauge the impact of divorce, analyze the habits of good teachers and calculate the cost of environmental disasters.
But is the work of social and behavioral scientists truly rigorous and relevant?
The question has surfaced anew in a long-standing political and philosophical battle that pits some powerful members of Congress against professors at schools like the University of California San Diego, where nearly half of undergraduates enroll in the social sciences.
The dispute has affected federal funding for political science research. Support for economic studies also has been threatened. The situation is causing anxiety on campuses, where professors worry that cuts will go deeper and spread to other fields.
The clash also has led to introspection. Professors at UC San Diego, San Diego State University and the University of San Diego say academia hasn't done enough to clearly explain the nature and value or their work and how they're preparing students for the marketplace.
The decades-old fight reignited in March when Congress approved a major spending bill that says the National Science Foundation can only fund political science research that helps improve the economy and national security.
The restriction was made at the request of Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, who has long questioned the value of the social and behavioral sciences, which include sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, economics, and linguistics.
In a letter to the science foundation, Coburn said the agency was wasting money to help study such things as the public's attitude toward filibusters in the U.S. Senate and how much the president cooperates with Congress when executive orders are issued.
Coburn, who has the backing of many conservative lawmakers, also criticized funding in more purely scientific fields such as biology. He was particularly unhappy that federal money has been used at SDSU to develop robotic squirrels for use in wildlife research.
The agency mulled the matter, then decided in August to temporarily stop accepting grant proposals in political science, a move that likely freezes up about $10 million. That's pocket change at places like UCSD, which brings in about $1 billion a year for research. But the freeze sent a chill through academia.
One of the sharpest responses came in September from the Association of American Universities, the elite organization that represents UCSD and 61 other top research schools. AAU defended the value — and mere existence — of the social and behavorial sciences, and complained about efforts by some members of Congress "to relegate such research to a second-class status.''
The discussion is not new and hasn't been reserved for Republicans. The late Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wisconsin, used to give out Golden Fleece Awards highlighting what he considered to be wasteful spending. The social sciences made his list.
Researchers say the current fight has a different feel to it.
"The decision by Congress to rewrite the rules for political science funding is something new," said Isaac Martin, a sociologist at UCSD. "To my knowledge, it was the first time Congress had singled out a particular division in NSF, and to substitute its judgments for those of scientists."
Jeff Elman, dean of social sciences at UCSD, said, "Many researchers worry that what is being seen as politically motivated restrictions could spread to other areas of science and technology that have been controversial, like climate change, evolution, and biology."
Social sciences are broadly defined as the study of how people behave and influence others. Researchers examine everything from voting and buying patterns to why people fall in love to the roots of racism to whether being told the ending of movie in advance spoils the experience for viewers. Some studies involve the collection and analysis of data. Others involve sophisticated experimentation.

and there just isn't enough population or wealth for Lynas stock to approach its price potential--much less than California! North American ree miners soar today while we await the sleepy and out-of-it ASX to open and the too few people in-country to push up the stock to its justified price. Down Under is just too parochial to realize potential.
"Australian pond just too small for Lynas"
Oh really? Then explain why they didn't need the USA holders for the 1B share $450M secondary in '09.
HEY grosserchild you don't remember this link? lol
I think that you are missing the point of my post!
I think that LYC is currently the BEST play in th REE market and has no equal.
The post that you referenced is why I believe so!
As far as the potential price of LYC stock goes this will not be a $50 stock like MCP because of the difference in outstanding shares.
I really don't understand why companies like MCP and REE are doing as well as they are! MCP is still over a year away from production and with Moonbeam being inaugrated in the next few days I would'nt bet on it! The mine was shut down due to environmental reasons and those conditions still remain.
REE has nothing except a promising property and at best 4 to 5 years away from production.
LYC is currently in the drivers seat! They will come into their own this year. I am a long and nothing else!
Yes, I have "bothered" lol
What do you think the POTENTIAL of LYC stock should be?
Have you bothered to look at the number of outstanding shares for LYC as compared to MCP?
LYC: approx 1.7 Billion
MCP: approx 90 million
Same post next topic.
I agree 100%.
Does any one know the time frame it takes from application to listing on the AMEX?
Lynas does Qualify to list on AMEX.
Standard 3
•Under this standard, the company needs to meet a minimum of $50 million in market capitalization. Market capitalization refers to the market price of the entire company. This is calculated by multiplying the number of shares in investor hands by the market price of the stock. Similar to standards 1 and 2, the company must meet a minimum $15 million market value public float and a minimum of $4 million in shareholder equity. Lastly, its share price must be at least $2.
I have been told directly from lynas , that as of this moment, they have no intentions of going to the AMEX.
Might change in the future, but going PK is alot cheaper than going AMEX,
I'm not so sure of that; JP Morgan did the secondary at $450MM in Sept 2009. I'm sure JP Morgan has got the word out on Lynas.
Would be great if listed as an ADR; might happen but not until Q3 when production starts.

Required Readings
Click here to access the required reading assignment. This will be discussed at one of your very first orientation sessions. Please don't feel compelled to do anything with this case except read it a couple of times.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Assessment
As a new member of the Law School, you join a diverse community of leaders from a variety of interests and backgrounds. Beyond a world-class legal education, your NYU Law experience will expose you to new tools and dialogues focused around the dynamics of leadership. One of these tools is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), an assessment used to measure your unique self-awareness and personal inclination. Before arriving for 1L orientation, we ask that you complete the online MBTI assessment through the link below. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes and consists of several multiple choice questions related to personal preference.
You will receive your MBTI report at Orientation, where Vice Dean Jeannie Forrest will provide an overview of the MBTI and what its results may tell you about approaching tasks and relationships, in and out of the classroom.
Please complete the online assessment before August 15, 2015.
While some of you may be familiar with the MBTI, we ask that you view it as an entrée into leadership at NYU Law. We use the Myers-Briggs as a tool at Orientation anticipating that it will open the door to self-awareness throughout your legal education and beyond.
Contact Hugh J. Remar at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or concerns.
*You will be asked for contact information upon registering for the MBTI, including an email address and a phone number. Please use your NYU email address. We advise that you provide your cell phone number, as you will receive password verification via text message. Your information will not be shared, and you will not be contacted by outside parties.

My wife has been riding with me, following on her hybrid, and generally finding that she really enjoys cycling--as a family activity, for pure recreation, and then some sport (she trys to drop me now... wow... and she almost succeeds! lol!!). She's been eyeballing road bikes when we pedal around puddingstone, and commenting on how sleek they look...
Fast forward to my reading of the GMR ride posts aloud to her last week, and her getting a look on her face; she then uttered the magic words: "I wonder if I could do that..." She was moved by the femme's and the couples (Beach05Grad, iTrek and his wife, etc.). Yes! She's on board! So I picked up a very nice used Jamis Xernith Comp (carbon, Shimano 105, etc.) at a great price in her size (I had to sell my FS MTB, but I still have the hard tail . I am so stoked! Finally something other than dining out that we can do as a family! LOL!!
Here's a picture:
She's significantly fitter than I am, so I suspect she'll take to the climbs much better than I have, but following her on a road bike will be inspirational!

Buckley deal completed
by Stuart Vose
Winger becomes seventh summer signing.
Sunderland have signed winger Will Buckley from Brighton and Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old, who has already played more than 200 career games, has penned a three-year deal and is reunited with Gus Poyet at the Stadium of Light.
Buckley began his career at Rochdale, making 68 appearances for the Spotland club and scoring 13 goals before joining Championship side Watford in January 2010.
His rise continued at Vicarage Road, with another 43 appearances made before Poyet came calling in summer 2011, taking the youngster to Brighton.
The winger soon established himself as a regular at the Amex Stadium and made over 100 appearances for the Seagulls, scoring 19 goals.
Buckley becomes Sunderland's seventh summer signing, following the arrivals of Jack Rodwell, Costel Pantilimon, Jordi Gomez, Billy Jones, Patrick van Aanholt and Santiago Vergini.

What should I be doing instead of this?

I Just Can't Get Enough...Golden Globes
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
The Golden Globe Awards are a true Hollywood party. Awards are given out for television and film categories, so you get the playfulness of the Emmys and the movie stars of the Oscars without as much seriousness. And it is a widely-known fact that everybody gets their drank on throughout the ceremony. Globes were awarded Sunday night; here are some highlights. Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey served as ringleaders for this celebrity circus, supplying audiences at home and at the show with tons of laughs. Having a fine eye for detail (HA!), I appreciated that they swapped gown colors from last year's show. The duo threw hilarious digs at the nominees, calling Matt Damon a "garbage person" in reference to the caliber of A-listers and introducing the Wolf of Wall Street himself with, "And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio!" There were also super funny cutaway shots, like Julia Louis-Dreyfus acting like she was too good for this mess, puffing on an e-cig and refusing to take a selfie with Reese Witherspoon. Flawless! Jennifer Lawrence accepted the first Golden Globe of the night — wearing what appeared to be a bed sheet secured with seat belts — for her role as a certified Real Housewife of New Jersey in American Hustle. She displayed her usual candor, expressing true befuddlement and, for lack of a better word, cute "awkwardness." And America's love affair with her continues. Jacqueline Bisset was shocked — or intoxicated? —when she was announced as Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie for her role in Dancing on the Edge. Eventually she got her words together, speaking right over that "STFU" music and ended up defying the censor to get an s-word in that bitch. Go Jackie! Behind the Candelabra nabbed Best TV Movie or Mini-Series, because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association doesn't have a category for "Best Use of Bejeweled Thongs." Mad Men was SNUBBED! This year, but Peggy (aka Elizabeth Moss) got an award, at least, for Top of the Lake (Best Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie). And, seriously, she seems like a total sweetheart. Bryan Cranston won Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama for Breaking Bad's final season. The series also received the award (which was presented by Paula Patton dressed in a blooming tampon-inspired number?) for Best TV Series, Drama. Aaron Paul said it best: "Yeah, bitch!" Best Original Score - Motion Picture went to Alexander Ebert for All is Lost. When the camera cut to this fancy hobo, I realized that's the lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros! Way to go, you crazy dude. Also: new hair icon. One of the more surprising awards of the night was Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie — that's a wide-spanning category packed with talent. The Globe went to Jon Voight for Ray Donovan, in which his character advised his grandson, who was sick with a stomach ache, "Maybe you need to faht!" in a heavy Boston accent (Read: This was one of the season's highlights). But Rob Lowe was fucking robbed of that award. I'll never forget that face (even if I could)! #californiadiet Amy Adams(' side boob) received the award for Best Actress In A Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for American Hustle. She and her girls accepted the award in a neckline ripped from the film. Adams is well on her way to becoming a mega-star, but I still keep confusing her with Isla Fischer! The Globes have this weird tradition of selecting a Mr. and Ms. Golden Globe each year, which is basically a celebri-spawn that wears expensive clothes to help usher award winners out the correct stage exit. This year's Miss was Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's daughter, Sosie Bacon. As for the Mister, Tina introduced her little-known adult son from a previous relationship. Robin Wright, female perfection incarnate, was awarded for her role on Netflix series, House of Cards (Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama) The princess attended the show with new fiancé, Ben Foster. Get it girl! Presenter Jim Carrey proved he's still got it (despite several bouts of public cray over the past couple years)! I don't know what made me laugh more: his Shia LaBoeuf sting or the face that he was announced as the star of Dumb and Dumber To. Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture went to Jared Leto, who portrayed a transgender AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club. He was really workin' them ombré highlights (not in the movie, he actually has female envy-worthy hair for a guy). And despite making a period joke, I will always love him because he will always be Jordan Catalano to me. Spike Jonze received Best Screenplay - Motion Picture for his human-OS love story, Her. We all need to start watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Andy Samberg nabbed Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy for his new comedy. Seemed genuinely shocked and pretty adorable. And ICYMI, he's married to Joanna Newsom. Another award presenter fashion faux pas: Zoe Saldana's dress looks like a prom rag from Charlotte Russe circa 1999. She'd look hawt in a burlap sack, so her style cred will recover, but damn. I think I have an old purse from Claire's that would match. Next up was Michael Douglas (Best Actor in a Mini-Series or TV Movie) for his role as Liberace in Behind the Candelabra. Host Amy Poehler received her first Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy as Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation. She was massaged by/made out with Bono upon the exciting announcement. Leonardo DiCaprio won his third Globe (Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy) for The Wolf of Wall Street. The actor, often overlooked at awards events (always the bridesmaid, never the bride, that Leo), seemed extremely gracious. Rounding out the night, American Hustle was named Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy; Cate Blanchett (which is pronounced Blanch-it as I recently learned on NPR) nabbed Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for Blue Jasmine; Her male counterpart: Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama), for Dallas Buyers Club — a role for which he lost 45 pounds. Or, as Tina Fey put it, "what actresses call 'being in a movie.'" Matt wore a cool deep emerald velvet tux and gave his signature catchphrase: "Alright, alright, alright!" The show closed with Best Motion Picture, Drama, which went to 12 Years a Slave. All in all, it was an entertaining night and the awards were pretty well-distributed. Next up is the Oscars with Ellen DeGeneres — only 46 days to go!

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Deadspin's Albert Burneko recently determined a signature food that represents each of the 50 states (plus Washington, D.C.) and ranked each dish/state accordingly — from The Greats and Goods (deep-dish pizza, pulled pork sandwiches) to The Better-Than-A-Finger-In-The-Eyes (chicken-fried steak, hamburger casserole)…and worse. Ohio was ranked dead last with Cincinnati chili, which came in at No. 52. "But there's only 51 states including D.C.," you may be thinking. Well, the delicate Burneko added "Being hit by a car" as No. 51 to really drive the point home. "Cincinnati chili is the worst, saddest, most depressing goddamn thing in the world," Burneko writes, describing our hometown favorite as "horrifying diarrhea sludge." It really stings (much like the raging heartburn that follows any successful Skyline adventure). Not every Cincinnatian ingests three-ways whole like a ravenous python. I like a coney or five-way every now and then, but I much prefer making it fresh at home (Skyline's grainy, runny consistency can be a little off-putting, I'll admit) — which, to all my Cincy-born friends who've moved away, is not only possible, but incredibly simple. Stop acting like you're deprived of your native foods and get to browning some beef. But I digress. Sure, I understand the outside disdain for this not-really-chili chili, but our artery-clogging lunch staple pales in comparison to No. 47, Alaska's akutaq. Also known as "Eskimo ice cream," this delightful dish is comprised of berries and WHIPPED FAT. Ain't no way a cheese coney is grosser than fruit-laced lard. Does someone shit-talking (literally?) your favorite snack make you wanna rage? Calm down with these manatees. Winter is coming — well, the cool chill of fall is upon us — but Game of Thrones is still months away. So this new (and possibly the best?) Bad Lip Reading of Game of Thrones should hold you over until March/April. Comprised of scenes from the first season of Thrones (so maybe a slight, vague spoiler alert? Spoiler Threat Level: Blue), the latest BLR actually follows a plot, in which Westeros meets Adventureland. And it's brilliant. If only there was a Game of Thrones amusement park for real. Though if it were authentic, most people would probably find themselves getting beheaded at the food court before their visit was complete.Kanye put a ring on it. If you thought January's Golden Globes ceremony was the best awards show in recent history, you were correct (Source: Me). Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Few killt it and hence, they've been invited back to run the show in 2014 and 2015. As if the Golden Globes weren't already the second-best awards show for watching for drunken celebrity hijinks (beat only by IFC's Independent Spirit Awards), we can now rest assured there will be plenty of intentionally funny bits throughout the next two events. FOUR MORE YEARS!Watch the always-talented Ohio State University marching band moonwalk like never before in their recent Michael Jackson halftime tribute (and prepare for a jaw-drop at 4:15 and 4:40). Ever had to contact Netflix because streaming delays were cramping your Pretty Wild marathon (no judgment)? Like most 21st century customer service departments, Netflix allows users to chat live with a representative to help fix their issue. Of course, this function can be a goldmine for trolls or just plain unhelpful. Sometimes, however, the live chat customer service experience can be a positive and hilarious one. Netflix customer service rep Michael kicked off the exchange in a jovial fashion, speaking like a ship captain: When customer Norm responded in a similarly playful tone, it was smooth sailing form there. (I know, I need to take a seat now.) Now I kind of wish my Netflix would malfunction… The real reason anyone subscribes to Entertainment Weekly, their Reunion Issue, is on stands! The casts of Boy Meets World, Mystic Pizza, The X-Files, School of Rock and many more reassembled for the issue, proving yet again that women stars of the '80s and '90s looks strikingly more attractive now than they were two decades ago on screen. Gillian Anderson, hubba hubba. DD: You pretty fine, too. For more before-and-afters, go here . When Beyoncé shares a Beyoncé-inspired DIY dance video, the world watches. You know what they say, "Every time a young Asian guy dances to Beyoncé, an angel gets its wings."Finally, someone sent a private messaged of this dog costume photo to CityBeat's Facebook page.

Get ready to treat yo'self, because Parks and Recreation (8 p.m. Thursdays, NBC) is back with an hour-long premiere this week. This sixth season opens with the Pawnee crew in London, where Leslie is honored with an international "Women in Government" award. Expect Leslie, Ben, April and Andy to take in the sights as Ron preaches his disdain for all things European.

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
The Screen Actors Guild Awards were Sunday and I didn't watch that low-budge mess, but here are the winners if you care. America's girl crush, Jennifer Lawrence, nabbed an SAGy (?) for her role in Silver Linings Playbook (I know I'm late on this, but that movie is just great. Go see it.) After a non-wardrobe malfunction, JLaw accepted by citing the first job that got her the ubiquitous SAG card: an MTV My Super Sweet 16 promo. Via Dlisted:Get More: Jennifer Lawrence, Movie Trailers, Movies Blog Local drag queen Penny Tration (government name: Tony Cody) was selected to be on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race via a Facebook fan vote. The season premiered Monday on Logo and, sadly, our girl was the first to sashay away. Now, call me biased (because I am), but Penny deserved at least another week. Having spent time in The SweatShoppe, Penny's HQ and studio, I know she's one of the hardest working queens in the biz. She makes her own clothing and wigs, does some outstanding makeup work and looked more like a real curvalicious lady than Serena ChaCha, the other queen up for elimination this week. When the two were instructed to lip sync for their lives, it was clear Ms. ChaCha was the winner (damn her splits!). Unfortunately, Penny did not know the lyrics to "Party in the USA," so I think we can all just blame Miley for this tragedy. Penny, we still love ya! Keep doing yo thang. Adrian Grenier (Vincent Chase to most but forever the Drive Me Crazy dude to me) tweeted big news for Entourage fans this week: the movie spinoff has been greenlit! Mind you, Entourage may follow in its sister Sex and the City's footsteps by glossing over anything cool about the series and pooping out a 2-hour douchey bromance, but fans will certainly still flock to theaters to check it out. Adapting TV shows for the big screen is nothing new — just look at Star Trek. In Entourage's case, a successful show on HBO for eight seasons, a movie will provide one last chance for fans to see Vince and his buddies...and one last chance to squeeze any last profitability from the series. But what about adapting shows that weren't necessarily successful on TV in the long term? Party Down was an excellent Starz comedy from 2009-2010. Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Ken Marino and a bunch of other hilarious familiar faces from TV comedy portrayed a crew of kooky caterers, each episode following them to a different catered event. It got a lot of late-in-show life love from Netflix viewers (because who watches Starz?!) but was cancelled after two seasons. Ever since, there have been hopes and rumors of a film version from fans and cast members alike. While the crossover is still unconfirmed, here's an awesome faux trailer, made from clips from the series, with a horror twist: And because everyone loves Mrs. Doubtfire, check out a creepily realistic look at what the family film would look like if it had taken a dark turn. If you're like most theater kids or women between the ages of 10 and 110, then you can quote Mean Girls and Les Mis like a champ and you will love this. Tonight is a night that myself and Lizbeans everywhere have been dreading for some time — the series finale of 30 Rock. You can read my full eulogy here, but I have to say while I'm happy the show is going out while it's still good (Tina Fey and Alec Bladwin both snagged aforementioned SAG awards for their performances in the show), I'm really going to miss my weekly dose of Ms. Bossypants. From the beginning, 30 Rock has been a writer's comedy and I will cherish every quote that has been ingrained in my brain over the past seven seasons (ex. "Live every week like it's Shark Week." - Tracy Jordan). On this momentous evening, I leave you with these life lessons from Liz Lemon. My feelings are best described by this Claire Danes supercut:
Lemon Out!

I Just Can't Get Enough...Golden Globes
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday, making the three-hour event pretty much bearable! Some awards were pretty predictable (Les Mis) while others were surprising (Girls) but T&A — I'm coining their celebrity couple name — kept the show fun by teasing Hollywood greats and each other. The first awards of the night went to Christoph Waltz, Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, Drama for Django Unchained; Maggie Smith, Best Supporting Actress – TV for Downton Abbey; and Julianne Moore, Best Actress – Miniseries/TV Movie for Game Change, which also was awarded Best Miniseries/TV Movie. Now, I think we can all lay to rest the Sarah Palin impersonation. May we never seek its comedic relief again. Keeping everyone on their toes, T&A randomly planted themselves, in disguises, in the audience as the camera panned to nominees: Next up, Homeland started to sweep the evening, nabbing Best TV Series – Drama, Best Actor (Damian Lewis) and Best Actress (Claire Danes) in the category. Danes thanked her recently born son, with whom she was pregnant while filming some of this season's craziest scenes. Cute, but she really should have named that kid Saul, right? As Michael Bloomberg said, white people love them some Homeland. Mychael Danna was awarded with Best Original Score for Life of Pi and Adele, finally out of maternal hiding, won a much-deserved Globe for Best Original Score for the eponymous hit from Skyfall. Taylor Swift was not impressed. JLo showed up looking like a slutty Queen Frostine in a what appeared to be a body paint ensemble to award Best Actor – Miniseries/TV Movie (Hatfields & McCoys) to a very boring Kevin Costner. So what do you do when half the crowd is drunk and the show starts getting boring? Bring out Bill Clinton! Willie bit his lip, thumbs upped a few times and introduced Lincoln (once everyone stopped throwing their panties onstage at him). Not missing a beat, Poehler came out, awestruck, and proclaimed, "That was Hillary Clinton's husband!" Sa-woon. Then out come Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig (looking foine as ever), giggling like a couple stoned teenagers, pretending to not have seen a single film in their category (Best Actress – Motion Picture, Comedy/Musical). JLaw got the prize for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, wearing what may become a major spring 2013 fashion trend: boob origami. Lawrence seems like a real human, and funny to boot. She'll be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. Ed Harris won Best Support Actor – TV for his role as John McCain in Game Change. Anne Hathaway dreamed a dream about winning Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture…and it came true (Sorry, that was pretty bad). Though I did not care for her 1994 mother of the bride look. Best Screenplay went to Quentin "Don't ask me about violence" Tarantino for Django Unchained. In a pretty surprising turn, Don Cheadle, who is awesome, won Best Actor – TV, Comedy/Musical for House of Lies, which is really not that awesome. Louie C.K. was robbed. Everyone took a little nap as Best Foreign Language Film was announced (Amour) because ENGLISH. And Brave won Best Animated Feature Film (Side note: Go watch that shit with your mom and be prepared for sobbing and family bonding). The Best Actress – TV, Comedy/Musical category was full of badass ladies, including the two hosts. Tina awaited the results with new BFF Jennifer Lopez While Amy cozied up with her new beau. Eat it, Will Arnett! But — Surprise! — it was Lena Dunham who napped the award for her role in Girls. T&A promptly poked fun at Dunham's speech, gave a losers toast, and called out a very drunk Glenn Close. Then, things turn a turn for the…weird. Jodie Foster was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, presented by Robert Downey, Jr. In her speech (the one that they actually could have cut off but didn't), Foster hopped back and forth between trying to make jokes and some genuine, serious points, making the whole thing a little hard to follow. On one hand, I can understand why some people are confused as to why, if she was going to address her personal life anyway, she wouldn't just come out with a declarative statement about being gay. It's important for people to see strong, positive public figures who happen to be homosexual, especially children who feel different, ostracized or unloved because of who they are. I get that. But Miss Jodie had some points in that cloudy ramble of a speech. As a celebrity who works hard to keep her life off-screen private, why should she be pressed to make some kind of grand statement, especially since she has already come out to those who know her personally? "Coming outs" can certainly be positive these days, but they're also an invitation for attention and publicity, which she personally does not want. In her own words "I am not Honey Boo Boo Child." For the final awards of the night, Ben Affleck won Best Director for Argo; Girls won Best TV Series – Comedy/Musical; Hugh Jackman nabbed Best Actor for Les Miserables, the same film awarded for Best Comedy/Musical; Jessica Chastain, who's appeared in 10 films since 2011, won Best Actress for Zero Dark Thirty; Daniel "Human Chameleon" Day-Lewis shocked no one when he won Best Actor for Lincoln; and Best Film in the Drama category went to Argo. Whew. That was a lot to take in, wasn't it, Mel?

I Just Can't Get Enough
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Thirteen may historically be an unlucky number, but we're all sure to be blessed with pop culture gold this year. Sure, Heidi and Spencer are back on TV and Kim Kardashian is cooking up a baby with Kanye West — don't run for the hills quite yet. The fact that the New Year was rung in by a washed up Jamie Kennedy and a stoned Macy Gray on this low-budge Los Angeles NYE show has to be a good sign of what hot messes are to come. Here's a peek at what's to come in 2013. Many spoilers lie ahead; proceed at your own risk. WINTER This Sunday, the Golden Globes (aka the one show where TV and movie stars mingle while drunk) will be hosted by women for the first time ever! OK, the show has only had an official host since 2010, but it's been Ricky Gervais every year since. This time around, dynamic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler run the show. The pair have a long history, back to their improv days at Second City in the '90s. Over the past decade+ they've proven their comedic chemistry on Saturday Night Live and in Baby Mama, but they're also awesome in their respective rights, as seen on 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation. Check out some of my unlikely-but-hopeful Golden Globes picks here. The Chinese calendar may deem 2013 the Year of the Snake, but according to my diva calendar, this is definitely the Year of Beyonce. The musical maven, who just celebrated baby Blue Ivy's first birthday with hubby and baby daddy Jay-Z, is set to sing the national anthem at President Obama's inauguration Jan. 21. Next, she'll fly down to New Orleans to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 3. Bey is rumored to perform with a reunited Destiny's Child (FINALLY) and the Hov. Just two weeks later, HBO will premiere Queen B's full-length documentary on Feb. 16. The Bey-directed doc touts a personal, never-before-seen look at "Beyonce the person" (there's no way she's 100% human, but whatever) as opposed to Sasha Fierce the performer. A few things I'm really hoping to see: Jay-Z changing Blue's Egyptian cotton diaper; Beyonce eating actual solid food; a baby bump shot to put those pesky rumors to rest; at least 13 different hairstyles/weaves. The Walking Dead returns to AMC for the second half of Season Three on Feb. 10. We'll pick up with the new Woodbury/prison storylines introduced in early December's mid-season finale. Fan fave Daryl has been captured by the Governor, who places him in the demented fighting arena against his brother Merle (who was pretty much presumed dead by the group after leaving a trail of blood and sawed-off hand behind in Season One). Loyalties will certainly be tested when the Dixon bros meet for the first time and, according to this sneak peak, the Woodbury clan wants them to battle to the death. Back at the prison, Rick questions his leadership role and Tyreese (a character plucked from the comics) will step up as the group's token black guy. On the other side of the camera, showrunner Glen Mazzara, who took over for Frank Darabont after a rather sluggish second season, will be stepping down. Some speculate the move may be due to a lackluster second half of this season, but Mazzara, AMC and comic creator/exec producer Robert Kirkman all claim the departure is on good terms. We'll see for ourselves next month; meanwhile, check out this preview: SPRING At first glance, Game of Thrones did not seem like my small screen cop o' tea. I generally don't read or watch anything too fantastical/mythical (but bring on the zombies and True Blood), plus the number of characters and settings almost make fictional family trees and note-taking a must. Regardless of TV preferences, though, GoT is an addictive epic. And on March 31, fans will return to Westeros for a third, slightly super-sized season. See, in the past, episodes were generally just more than 50 minutes long. This season promises several eps as long as 57 minutes, ultimately adding up to almost a whole extra episode. Way too nerdy and nitpicky? Well, that's Thrones for you. But another fun addition to this season is that fans can now drink along with the show as New York's Brewery Ommegang releases a series of Game of Thrones beer. The first, Iron Throne Blonde Ale, is set to debut in time for the season premiere. And speaking of TV show beer tie-ins, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will also get its own brew with Aleman and Two Brothers Brewing Co.'s Dayman Coffee IPA, also slated to come out this March. Let's just hope the gang hasn't touched the stuff. And since you can't even read the word "Dayman" without singing: Moving along to May, you better scratch those Star Wars Day and Cinco de Mayo plans. Cult hit Arrested Development is coming back with a new season, to be released on Netflix in its entirety on May 4. Of course, everyone is happy to have a little more Tobias Fünke in their lives, but this is a huge, possibly telling move for television in general. Plenty of failed shows gain a following after their demise on TV, but rarely do these shows actually get picked up again, and certainly not 7 years after cancellation. My only fear is super-fans' high expectations will be hard to meet in just a single season. 'Til the release, catch up on the series and look out for these Easter eggs. After being pushed from its original Christmas 2012 premiere date, Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby will hit theaters May 10. The director is known for his visually exciting films, such at Romeo + Juliet (which starred Gatsby himself, Leonardo DiCaprio) and Moulin Rouge, and likes to blend contemporary music and themes in with those of the films' eras. For example, in the following trailer, Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild" juxtaposes the 1922 setting. If that's not enough for ya, stay tuned for more 2013 pop culture previews for summer and fall.

I Just Can't Get Enough
It's a good time to be a Louie C.K. fan. And probably a good time to be Louie C.K., since in the last year the comedian has nabbed two Emmys, wrapped a successful third season of his FX series and pretty much single-handedly changed the way performers distribute media. Where most performers might ride this wave until it crashes, taking on additional projects and endorsements, C.K. is taking the opportunity to lay low for a bit. The comedian is taking an extended break from the spotlight, putting his show Louie on hiatus until 2014. Yes, it sucks to wait more than a year for a great series, but even his most devoted fans must wipe their tears and acknowledge this smart move. Instead of ordering extra episodes, cranking out more material until he gets so burnt out he pulls a Chappelle, C.K. will be able to take the time to continue producing (directing, writing and starring in) more hilariously dark shows. Speaking of good shows we have to wait so very long for, here's a fun Breaking Bad dance jam to get you through 'til next summer. No spoilers, but I'll warn you, it's mighty addictive (heh). Everyone with an Instagram account and Starbucks latte believes they are a photographer, but most of us leave the real snapping to the pros, knowing better than to fake such a talent. Right? When two real photogs discovered an alarming number of crappy pictures taken by supposed "professionals," they decided to call these fools out with one message: You Are Not A Photographer. The highly anticipated film Skyfall hits theaters next month, but Bond fans are already geeking out over the new theme song by Adele: This is the singer's first release since her award-winning 2011 album, 21. She's due to give birth to her first child any day now. Remember Dane Cook? He was that comedian that was pretty funny for about 15 minutes in 2005 but quickly joined the likes of Nickelback and Ed Hardy enthusiasts in the Douchebag Hall of Fame. Well, Dane Cook's still around and he still sucks. Cook was set to star in a new NBC sitcom, Next Caller. Cook played host of a sex and dating-type radio show, "Booty Call," oddly paired with a new, bubbly female co-host. I know what you're thinking. When does this television gold hit the airwaves?! Unfortunately, NBC found the final product so dismal, they scrapped the entire series after filming four of six episodes. So, for the record, NBC felt throwing money in the toilet was a better plan than giving Cook screen time. I'll admit, I gave Cook props for appearing on a second season episode of Louie in which he faced the accusations that he steals jokes (from C.K., in fact). But watch the Next Caller post-mortem trailer and you'll agree this cancellation was for the best. Now, to wash away that gritty pockmarked face from your memory, enjoy this story about Ed, the peg-leg pug!Ed is one of Australia's first rescue dogs to receive a prosthetic limb. Let this be a reminder to spay and neuter your cats and dogs and support rescue pets over breeders.It was recently announced that two of my all-time favorite humans will host next year's Golden Globes. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will take over for Ricky Gervais, who hosted the tribute to film and television for the past three years. I could go on at length about my love for this duo, carefully citing my favorite works (everything they've ever done), but I'll leave my official endorsement to this: Bitches get stuff done. As far as politics go, I'm pretty sure all we need to know is there was a debate Monday night and Mitt Romney has binders just chock full of women. Yes, November is going to be quite an interesting month. Who's to say what the outcome will be? So many insane characters — how can we keep them all straight? Oh, I'm not talking about the election. I'm referring to the MFing return of R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet Hip Hopera. Trapped capped off with 22 chapters released between 2005-2007. The maestro has composed an additional 20 chapters to be released on IFC on Black Friday, Nov. 23 — a perfect way to spend your holiday eating leftovers. Here's a peek at the latest, Chapter 23. Take it from R. Kelly, "These next chapters of Trapped in the Closet is gonna be so craaaazy."

Let's get this straight.
The NBA needs a new villain, and the NFL has a most unlikely bad boy.
Leave it to Peyton Manning and LeBron James — the two most compelling players in the NFL and NBA — to reinvent their public images in a most endearing way.
James, who alienated much of the NBA fandom with his "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" bravado four summers ago, proved that you can go home again. His return to hometown Cleveland is absolutely magical.
Meanwhile, cool, calm and always-in-control Manning went out of character with his penalty-inducing trash talk in a preseason game.
This must be some kind of alternate universe.
It's a pretty cool universe.
James' return to the Cavaliers is the feel-good story of this NBA offseason. The Akron native jilted Cleveland for the Heat in a move that turned the league's best player into an arch villain for many fans outside of Miami.
The fact that James was leaving a horrible franchise for a chance to win a title with the Heat (which he did) seemed to pale in comparison to the thoughts of traitor.
His July 8, 2010, televised homage to himself, "The Decision," was a low-point in incredibly ill-advised public relations.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert sent an angry letter, calling James' decision a "cowardly betrayal." James was vilified by fans, given the nicknames "LeBum" and "LeQuit."
A common theme was that James had sold out for money and the glamour of Miami, criticism that was not especially correct or appropriate.
Based on the reaction to his return, Cleveland fans are willing to quickly forgive.
"I'm coming home," James wrote in a letter published in Sports Illustrated. "My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now."
The powerful letter brought some fans to tears, according to a Cavs beat reporter.
Perhaps not surprising in this world of instant analysis, a poll backs that up. By a 62 to 12 percent margin, Ohio adults forgive James for leaving Cleveland in the summer of 2010 and approve 63 to 10 percent of the Cavaliers' decision to bring him back, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
Meanwhile, Manning, who could probably run for governor of a half-dozen states — including Indiana — and win in a landslide, put a dent in his squeaky clean image last week.
The Broncos' quarterback confronted Houston safety D.J. Swearinger for hitting Wes Welker in the head, which left the slot receiver with his third concussion in 10 months. The hit drew a 15-yard penalty, but Manning took things to another level.
After throwing a 29-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders on the next snap, Manning ran up to Swearinger and let him know it, drawing the first personal foul of his career and ultimately a $8,268 fine.
Even that, though, seems to only elevate his image.
If there was one knock on Manning, it was that he sometimes appeared emotionally detached (a phase I learned from a former girlfriend, but that's another story). Being so analytical, Manning does not always display the fire some fans would like to see.
You can now check off that box. Backing up Welker sent a message that will help Denver this season.
"I accept the fine. It's money well spent," Manning said, who will make $17.5 million this season.
(By the way, Rolling Stone calculated that the NFL front office could use the fine to buy 486 Papa John's two-topping pizzas with tax, delivery and tip included. Manning owns a number of outlets.)
So, James broke the hearts of Cleveland fans, but they are willing to take him back in a heartbeat.
Manning went all "in-your-face" (in a preseason game with no real consequence to the outcome) and only enhances his image.
Two legends in the making add new chapters.

It's common for elderly parents to run out of funds and now that we're living longer, it's equally common for our adult children to ask for support. The question is how to respond.
In my family, we have experienced relatives' requests for money a number of times, both from elderly parents as well as from our adult children who long ago left home. Clearly, we are hardly alone these days. It's a very common problem for retired people in the sandwich generation, living in between elderly parents and adult children.
(MORE: Make Sure the Money Lasts With a Retirement 'Paycheck')
That has two benefits: They are a lot less likely to need additional funds and they realize the importance of self-reliance.
Both generations have to learn to calculate how much they can afford to spend from the income they have and then learn to budget that amount.
That budget has to include some money that goes to savings for their future support, to cover inflation and to provide an emergency fund for unknown and unpredictable expenses.
Loans in Name Only
In the case of elderly parents, it is very unlikely that they will ever be able to accumulate enough savings to return the principal. Most of the time, they won't even pay the interest. In the case of our own parents, we established trusts for them which were helpful because they got the trust earnings and theoretically we would get to keep the principal. But we had to provide more money as time went on.
Considering Gifting Instead
Whether you can afford to give the money away or "loan" it involves a risky calculation — or blind faith that you will somehow be able to live for many years without this loss of savings. Each person can give about $14,000 each year as a gift to someone without any tax consequence; so gift taxes seldom need consideration.
(MORE: How to Find Financial Advice You Can Trust)
Then I make a plan for how much I can spend from the remaining investments based on long-life expectancies and conservative values for investment returns, inflation and taxes. I make small reductions in expected Social Security and pension payments.
I have no assurance that this will represent the worst that can happen, but am hopeful that if it isn't, we can cope with a significant reduction in our livelihood.
When the Situation is Serious
In some cases, this is also true for adult children. However, adult children who are in reasonable health can recover, even if they have to go through bankruptcy. Although bankruptcy isn't pretty, most of the time people are still left with the money that was in their employer's savings plan and home. Being free of their debts, they can get a fresh start. If student loans are involved, bankruptcy or restructuring the loan may not be possible — so there can be a lifelong problem as interest and late fees build.
If You Can't Help
From experiences I've witnessed, saying "no" to a younger adult child may well be the best thing to do to cure spendthrift behavior or a reckless life style.
Google "Welfare help" to find out what is available in your state. Such advice may offer a different perspective, a better solution or a better response to the relative asking for money.

For your author, cycling is all about climbing. It's the majesty, the suffering, and the sense of achievement of ascending the mountains. Hence le grimpeur, a collection of writing about climbs, climbing, and climbers.
This blog has been online since 2007 and often explores different ideas about cycling and the linkages between cycling, literature, philosophy, sociology and politics. The opinions expressed are, of course, entirely my own. My regular work is with words so this is a creative outlet. There's occasionally some provocative ideas to challenge accepted thinking, but with the intention of being thought provoking rather than an out-and-out critique.
As of the middle of 2014 the posts are being updated only infrequently, but you can still read through the old ones. My primary focus is now riding – there is only so much time for cycling-related activities so getting out on the road takes priority.
Riding for a long time seems to mean a slow evolution into a cycling curmudgeon. At some point, though, we can all agree that we share a passion for the bike. Sometimes we need to worry less about our differences and remember our commonalities – the bike, the suffering, and the joy.
Dipping in and out of the pro cycling side has been interesting, and the my articles from over the years for Pez Cycling News give a good indication of that interest. (Some of the older links no longer work, but these will get progressively fixed.)

Free trial order error
I tried to order the free 10 day trial and my visa debit was declined (I figured my bank was having issues) so my kid tried using their chase card (it says visa too) and that also wouldn't go through. Now, I still don't have the trial and there is a $1 pending charge on the chase card soooo since I never got the trial I can't exactly cancel it and I just want to make sure I won't get hit for $15 for the next 3 months for an order that never went through. What to do? Call?

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beachgirl01 Glad I Decided To Try It When I first looked into getting this product I looked mainly at reviews and the product details. i decided to pick this up one day at Sally's just to try it due to the fact it was inexpensive and a lot of people have raved about this product. All I can say is I'm glad I convinced myself to buy this product! I love this product for its smooth texture and it's light clean scent that many other products don't have. It also is very gentle on my sensitive acne prone skin. It really works to improve skin not only the acne, but for moisture as well. Which is why I think many people think it is greasy in the end, but also it depends on how much you need to use vs. how much you actually use. My only compliant is that it is not easy to rinse off, but I just use my wash cloth to get it off and my skin is left feeling clean, moisturized, and fresh. Thanks Queen Helene for a product that does not make my acne worse or more dry. Will definitely buy again. June 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeachGardener Outstanding cream cleanser Never again will I buy other cold creams - this is top notch! Queen Helene Cleansing Cream removes all makeup -even heavy theater makeup- with one application! It's wonderful for eye makeup remover, and for dissolving high protection sunscreens. This cleanser is thick and creamy, yet somehow it doesn't leave the greasy residue other cold creams leave behind. This has a light, clean scent, and it's incredibly gentle. Sometimes removing tough makeup can make skin sting, but this cleanser is soothing in addition to being thorough. I love this and I think it's one of the skin care bargains around. November 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Panda204 A Lovely Cleaner The Queen Helene cleansing cream caught my eye after I tried to the Retinol cleaner, which was almost too strong for my skin and did not always remove my makeup, as promised. I saw this and thought, "why not?" for the price. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and I will continue to purchase this cleansing cream. I have severe acne, so much I've been on Accutane and looked like a burn victim from cysts, and although those days are gone, my acne is still ridiculous especially along my chin and neck area. This cleaner is very gentle, has a decent smell, but as it says, it actually does take away the impurities including makeup and dead skin. It does not necessarily cure acne, it just cleans your face and set your face either for a moisturizer or an astringent, based product. Here's a little tip to anyone fighting acne and having some issues due to sensitivity, redness, etc. try this cleansing cream and then buy the Dollar General Cleaning Astringent, apply after washing your face, then apply a moisturizer of your choice (I use the Retinol Anti-Aging SPF day moisturizer) and your acne will clear up or decrease. It's a better formula than cleansers from the best in the industry! June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Perpetua Really worth the Money I bought this a couple of days again and already love the product!! It is compare to the Pond cold cream but you get a bigger amount of product for the same price. I love my Pond so I will continue to buy it but I am very very happy with this product and will buy this again!! I use this day and night. During the day, I use the cleansing cream to give me a moisturizing cleaning (use a washcloth to remove or you will have a difficult time getting the product off). I do this before my makeup route and my makeup seems to glide more evening due to a well moisturize face. This will give you a light dewy look so if you like more of a matte finish; do not do this in the morning. I have combination skin and in my mid 30's. At night, this is an outstanding makeup remover and again a skin softener! I also use this as a duel cleanser with the mint julep facial scrub. I first place the cleansing cream to remove the makeup. Leaving the cream on, I use a little of the mint julep facial scrub to give me a mild to medium exfoliate facial. The result. Smooth, soft, clean skin without the over drying feeling. A must buy products!!! Skip the exfoliate if you have very sensitive skin. May 14, 2013

Lawmakers in Vermont weigh marijuana decriminalizationThe Associated Press | April 03,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is taking testimony on a proposal to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bill Lippert says he wants to scale back the original proposal from decriminalizing possession of two ounces or less to one ounce.
The Hinesburg Democrat also says the committee is unlikely to approve a provision in the original bill that would have decriminalized possession of a small number of marijuana plants.
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn told the panel during Wednesday's hearing that a single marijuana plant frequently grows to produce up to a pound of pot.
He says that doesn't square with the idea of decriminalizing possession of a small amount.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

Briana Waters, a California woman convicted in March of assisting in the 2001 arson that destroyed the University of Washington's Urban Horticulture Center, was sentenced this morning to six years in prison.
TACOMA — Briana Waters, a California woman convicted in March of assisting in the 2001 arson that destroyed the University of Washington's Urban Horticulture Center, was sentenced this morning to six years in prison.
The defense had sought five years with three years suspended.
The government had sought 10 years behind bars.
At the sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Tacoma, Waters' attorney, Neil Fox, asked the judge to look at his client "not as a representative of the Earth Liberation Front, but as a person. Sometimes … we get anesthetized to the human cost of incarceration."

Fox also argued that Waters is a mother of a 3-year-old and that it would be a hardship to be away from her child.
In his address to the court, Mark Bartlett, first assistant U.S. Attorney in Seattle, said Waters' sense of arrogance and entitlement in the case "would almost be comical if it wasn't so serious."
Before the sentence was read, Waters spoke to the court.
"I believe I am a valuable and contributing member of society," she said. "I don't want to be a martyr to any cause. My cause is to take care of my family."
When she spoke of her daughter, she burst into tears.
Federal prosecutors sought the 10-year sentence under a "terrorism enhancement" because they claimed the arson met the legal definition of a violent act "calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion," according to a court filing.
Defense attorney Fox has argued against the terrorism enhancement. He had asked that a five-year mandatory minimum sentence be partially suspended and proposed 18 months in prison for Waters' part in the arson.
Fox noted that his client was not convicted of being part of an Earth Liberation Front conspiracy — a charge that prosecutors sought unsuccessfully to prove, and claimed that the UW arson was not an act of terrorism.
Waters, a violin teacher, maintained her innocence during her Tacoma trial.
She is one of five people alleged to have participated in the UW arson, which prosecutors say caused more than $6 million in damages to the university. She was convicted of two counts of arson, but not of other charges that included the use of a destructive device in a crime of violence, which carried a 30-year mandatory minimum sentence.
This was the first trial for any of the 18 men and women indicted on charges of involvement in the militant Pacific Northwest underground group that between 1996 and 2001 claimed it carried out more than a dozen acts of arson and sabotage against targets deemed a threat to the environment or animals. The attacks caused tens of millions of dollars in damage. Targets included a slaughterhouse, timber-company headquarters and a ski lodge at Vail, Colo.
Twelve other people have reached plea agreements, and, according to court documents, their sentences are expected to range from probation to 13 years in prison.
Those reaching plea agreements included two women — Jennifer Kolar and Lacey Phillabaum — who assisted in the UW arson, and were key witnesses for the prosecution at Waters' trial.
Information from Seattle Times archives is included in this report.

DAKAR (Reuters) - The European Union said a new agreement with Senegal that limits the amount of tuna and black hake that EU vessels can catch there was a good deal for the country, in the face of criticism from local fishermen who said their rights were being ignored.
Senegal is seeking to crack down on illegal fishing in its waters while preserving government earnings from the sector which accounts for more than 10 percent of exports.
The deal between the European Union and the West African nation, agreed last month, caps the amount of tuna that EU vessels can catch in Senegalese waters at 14,000 tonnes a year and black hake at 2,000 tonnes.
In exchange, the bloc will pay Senegal 2.8 million euros (2.25 million pounds) in annual compensation.
"In terms of financial compensation, this is very good for Senegal," Dominique Dellicour, head EU representative in Dakar, told reporters on Thursday.
She said that the 14 million euros pledged over five years was among the highest compensation of all the global tuna agreements signed by the bloc. The agreement also includes provisions to help Senegal develop policy on scientific research and its fishing industry, she added.
In the past, the EU and Senegal had a framework agreement on fishing but there was no limit on tonnage.
However, Gaipes - a group representing Senegalese fisherman - criticised the deal and said it and other trade bodies had not been included in the negotiations.
"We are selling off our resources and it amounts to a recolonisation by the EU in the fishing sector," Gaipes vice-president Adama Lam said on Friday.
"Senegalese who want to fish tuna are refused permits and yet we give them to European vessels," he added.
About 17,000 light Senegalese canoes, known as pirogues, are involved in the fishing sector in the country.
The EU said that its fishing vessels typically targeted tuna species which were abundant in the Atlantic and whose shoals were beyond the reach of local boats.
In January, Senegal seized two Russian trawlers fishing illegally in its waters and fined the owners 600 million CFA francs ($1.25 million).
