Transformative Learning in Online Theological Education: A Case Study of an Online Program at a Theological Seminary
Date: May 2011
Creator: Tran, Nghi
Description: Using Mezirow's (1991) transformative learning theory as a framework, this qualitative case study investigated conditions conducive to transformative learning experiences among theological students in an online program at a seminary. Learning Activities Survey developed by King in 1998, a Community of Inquiry framework proposed by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer in 2000, and semi-structured interviews were employed. Emails were sent to 85 students (81 current In-Ministry M.Div. students and four recent graduates), and 38 (44.7%) took the online survey. A typical participant in this survey was a married White male in his 30s. Of the 38 survey respondents, 30 (78.9%) indicated having experienced transformation during their study. Among those 30, class assignment (66.7%) and a person (60.6%) were two factors that influenced them the most in their transformative learning experiences. Data collected from the online survey and two online courses shed light on the semi-structured interviews conducted with 11 students. A qualitative analysis software ATLAS ti. and Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory were utilized to analyze the data. This resulted in a proposed integrative learning condition model which proposed two conditions conducive to transformation, being in-ministry and using integrative learning strategy. These two conditions were significantly influenced by physical presence. A ...

Does Campus Type Really Matter? National Patterns of Alumni Giving in the 2008 Voluntary Support of Education Study
Date: May 2011
Creator: Simon, Jason Foster
Description: This quantitative study utilized secondary data furnished by 652 institutions of higher education which participated in the 2008 Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) national study managed by the Council for Aid to Education. This study investigated the relationships among private and public status across baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree typologies and total alumni giving, restricted giving and unrestricted giving per full time equivalent (FTE) for the 2007/08 academic year. The independent variable included the three degree-granting sub-categories of institution as categorized by either public or private status. The dependent variables included total computed alumni giving for 2008 per FTE, restricted alumni giving for 2008 per FTE and unrestricted giving by alumni for 2008 per FTE. ANOVA main effects were calculated and statistical significance determined using the α < .05 level. Tukey Post-Hoc calculations were computed and Cohen's f 2 was used to determine effect sizes. Total alumni giving per student FTE differed at statistical significance across the six institution types, F (5, 651) = 37.181, p < .001, f 2 = .29. Total restricted giving per student FTE differed at statistical significance across the six types, F (5, 651) = 28.90, p < .001, f 2 = .22. Total unrestricted ...

The relationship of racial identity, psychological adjustment, and social capital, and their effects on academic outcomes of Taiwanese aboriginal five-year junior college students.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Lin, Chia Hsun
Description: The study was conducted during November and December 2006, and the participants were Taiwanese aboriginal students at five-year junior colleges in Taiwan. Five hundred students from twenty junior colleges were recruited, and completed data for 226 students were analyzed. The data were collected by scoring the responses on six instruments which measured Taiwanese aboriginal junior college students' potential social capital, racial identity development, academic outcome (expected grade) and their psychological adjustment (stress, social support, self-esteem, and academic engagement). The instruments were designed to gather information on the following: (a) potential social capital scale; (b) multigroup ethnic identity measure; (c) racial identity attitude scale; (d) perceived stress scales; (e) self-esteem scale; (f) social support scale; (g) academic engagement scale; (h) academic outcome (expected grade). This quantitative design used SPSS 12 to analyze the data. Independent t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression model, ANOVA, ANCOVA were applied in the study. Results from this study indicate racial identity affects academic outcome with the covariate of psychological adjustment. This finding contradicts previous research that racial identity cannot affect students' psychological adjustment and academic achievement in higher education. For social capital, the study provides encouraging evidence that social capital is directly, significantly correlated with academic outcomes ...

Readiness scores as indicators of online faculty satisfaction.
Date: May 2009
Creator: McLawhon, Ryan
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between online readiness scores and online faculty job satisfaction. Online readiness was assessed using the Readiness for Education At a Distance Indicator (READI) assessment. The READI assessment tool incorporated the independent variables of learning preference, technical competency, technical knowledge, personal attributes, on-screen reading speed and comprehension, and typing speed and accuracy. Online faculty job satisfaction was assessed using the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF) job satisfaction questions. Analysis of variance was used to determine whether there was a difference in satisfaction based on individual instructor learning preferences. Correlation coefficients were used to analyze the relationships between the remaining independent variables and online instructor satisfaction. The sample population (N=110) consisted of online faculty members at Tarrant County College. Most of the statistical analyses revealed non-significant results at the .05 alpha level. However, a significant difference in satisfaction with equipment and facilities was found based on instructor learning preference. Additionally, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between online instructor technical competency and satisfaction with benefits.

Perceived Effects of a Mid-length Study Abroad Program
Date: May 2012
Creator: Corbin, Jill K.
Description: The focus of the study was the University of Dallas' Rome Program, a mid-length study abroad program on the university's campus in Rome, Italy. The program is designed to provide participants with the opportunity to encounter firsthand Western tradition by integrating the core curriculum through classroom teachings and class excursions, thus solidifying the foundation of the participants' undergraduate education. Beyond this purpose, the Rome Program does not operate from established goals and objectives for student experience. I consulted relevant research literature to construct a schema of domains of development appropriate to this qualitative study. These domains were intellectual development, global perspective, career development, and spiritual development. I interviewed 20 University of Dallas seniors who participated in the mid-length study abroad program between fall 2009 and spring 2011, using an extended, semi-structured interview protocol. The participants included 11 females and 9 males; 19 White and 1 Hispanic. The findings were supported by subsequent review by 4 of the interviewed students. I found generally strong but inconsistent support for student development in each of the domains. A number of sub-themes are reported. Through the interviews, an additional theme of personal development emerged and is reported. Although the findings generally support the conclusion ...

Establishing Junior-level Colleges in Developing Nations: a Site Selection Process Using Data From Uganda
Date: May 2012
Creator: Iaeger, Paula Irene
Description: This research synthesizes data and presents it using mapping software to help to identify potential site locations for community-centered higher education alternatives and more traditional junior-level colleges in Uganda. What factors can be used to quantify one site over another for the location of such an institution and if these factors can be isolated; why should they be used by local authorities? the variables are secured from the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ), Afrobarometer, census data, as well as technology reports and surveys. These variables are reduced, grouped and mapped to help determine the best location for a junior-level college. the use of local expert opinion on geopolitical, economic, and educational situations can be interfaced with the database data to identify potential sites for junior-level colleges with the potential to reduce the failure rate of such post-secondary school ventures. These data are analyzed in the context of reported higher education policies and outcomes from the national ministries, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), quality assurances agencies in the region, the World Bank, and national datasets. the final product is a model and tool that can be used by local experts to better select ...

The Historical Development of Tertiary Education in the Bahamas: The College of the Bahamas, Past, Present, and Future.
Date: May 2010
Creator: Dames, Terren L.
Description: The purpose of this study was to provide a historical overview of the development of the College of the Bahamas, and to examine the development of the College of the Bahamas in light of the College of the Bahamas Act of 1974 and the subsequent Act of 1995. The research was qualitative in nature using historical analysis. The primary means of investigation were analyses of both primary and secondary documents and interviews with key individuals who were important to the development of the College of the Bahamas since the 1960s. The methods of triangulation of data and findings were complemented by member checks to affirm the basic findings of the study. The study was limited in scope to the College of the Bahamas to the exclusion of other tertiary institutions within the country. The College of the Bahamas has advanced greatly and has largely fulfilled the directives and goals of the Act of 1974 and is currently engaged in efforts to meet the goals of the Act of 1995.

The relationship of student characteristics, help seeking behavior, academic and environmental variables with student course completion in community college online courses: An application of a conceptual model.
Date: December 2009
Creator: Schumann, Sherry Haskin
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine differences and relationships in student definition and background characteristics, help seeking behaviors, academic and environmental variables between and among community college students at a single institution who successfully completed and those who did not complete online courses during a single term. An adapted version of Bean and Metzner's conceptual model of nontraditional student attrition provided the theoretical framework for the study. The results of data analysis revealed statistically significant differences between completers and noncompleters on the basis of definition, gender, ethnicity, experience and prior GPA. Statistically significant relationships were found between definition, ethnicity, gender, experience, prior GPA, orientation and completion and noncompletion. No statistically significant interactions were found between definition and experience and help seeking behaviors. No statistically significant differences, relationships or predictor variables were found by degree seeking, preassessment, or technical help seeking. Additional analyses by defining characteristics revealed statistically significant differences between completers and noncompleters on the basis of residency, age and enrollment status. Predictor variables found to be significant were definition, gender, experience, prior GPA and orientation. The odds of completion increased with nontraditional definition, female gender, higher prior GPA, and orientation participation. The odds of completion decreased with ...

Mentoring in Higher Education Music Study: Are Good Teachers Mentors?
Date: August 2010
Creator: McCowen, Heather V.
Description: This quantitative study examined the correlation between how college level music students rated their teachers on the Fowler/O'Gorman Mentor Functions Questionnaire and how they perceived two aspects of their private music lessons: 1) to what extent they perceived their relationship with their teachers as positive, and 2) to what extent they perceived their teachers as good. The respondents for this study were 295 undergraduate and graduate music majors studying at 5 private universities or music schools. Positive correlations were found between the scores on the Mentor Functions Questionnaire (MFQ) and good teachers and positive lesson experiences. No correlation was found between the existence of gender congruity or the lack of gender congruity and the mean score on the MFQ. Respondents reported differences among their teachers' behaviors (p < .05): Role Modeling and Coaching behavior were perceived at significantly higher levels than the other six mentoring behaviors, whereas Friendship and Advocacy behavior was found at significantly lower levels. The behaviors of Personal and Emotional Guidance, Career Development Facilitation, Strategies and Systems Advice, and Learning Facilitation were found at levels closer to the mean. When role modeling and coaching behavior are present, students perceive teachers as good and lessons as positive. It ...

The Correlates of Number of Minority Faculty, Minority Student Organizations, Diversity Course Offerings, and Geographic Location to Minority Student Enrollment in Texas Colleges
Date: August 2010
Creator: Kraus, Charles
Description: This study examined the correlates between the dependent variables African-American and Hispanic student enrollment in Texas public higher education to the independent variables institution type, education region, faculty demographics, curricular offerings and student organizations. Data for African-American (n = 124,000) and Hispanic enrollment (n = 314,000) in all Texas public higher education institutions (n = 109) for the 2008 academic year were examined. Significant results, using a statistical significance of p = .005, were reported for two of the variables. A correlation of Pearson's r = .946 and statistical significance of p = .000 was observed between African-American student enrollment and the percentage representation of African-American faculty in the same institution. A correlation of Pearson's r = .982 and statistical significance of p = .000 was observed between Hispanic student enrollment and the percentage representation of Hispanic faculty in the same institution. The results of this study found significant relationships between the presence of African-American and Hispanic faculty and enrollment of African-American and Hispanic students. Recommendations are made for exploring these findings in further detail.

All religions should have equal access to state Capitol
Regarding "Hindu group wants to erect deity statue at state Capitol" (Tulsa World, Dec. 11): The Oklahoma state Capitol has a Ten Commandments monument, despite the fact that the government has no interest in telling anyone they must worship only God or to keep the Sabbath. In fact, if the government did try to enforce such prohibitions, it would be a direct violation of the free exercise and establishment clauses of the First Amendment. Prohibitions on murder and theft are universal; they long predate the formation of the commandments. But this monument exists because Christianity is popular in Oklahoma.
So if the government is allowing religious monuments, it must support the right of all religious groups to do that, including Satanists. Yes, a Satanist group wants to put up its own monument at the Capitol; so does a Hindu group. As a humanist and an atheist, I don't believe in any religion's beliefs being literally true — although some might contain wisdom within them. But all groups deserve full equality within the law.
I hope Oklahoma's state government can fully support those rights. Otherwise, it should leave the question of religion up to the marketplace of ideas.

Go out to the woods, have a few laughs.
Round up the kids and load up the station wagon for a relaxing vacation in the creepy-but-beautiful Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, where you just might catch a glimpse of a Gray Fox, Southern Flying Squirrel, Woodland Vole or the Jersey Devil.
The Flick: The Barrens
The Skinny: Writer-director Darren Lynn Bousman's (Saw II, III & IV, Repo! The Genetic Opera) latest tones down the splatter, but ups the suspense in this direct-to-DVD horror thriller that invokes the legendary Jersey Devil, a bipedal winged horse that has supposedly stalked the Pine Barrens for hundreds of years.
The Players: Stephen Moyer (HBO's True Blood) stars as Richard Vinyard, a man struggling to cope with the recent loss of his father and the growing tension between his daughter (Allie MacDonald) and his new wife (Mia Kirshner). Richard thinks that a camping trip will help his family bond, but inclement weather, a bad infection and a punk kid telling scary stories combine to turn the family outing into a nightmare. Peter DaCunha and Eric Knudsen also star.

No they are if I am right the same as BA size wise. I have been with both and found very similar.
I would say First Choice were tighter. VA are ok.

We had two and two with First Choice and it all felt very tight. My DH wasn't comfy at all, he found the seats really hard and squished, but maybe we just in a bad bit of the plane.
I know most won't agree but the best seats we ever had was on the old Travel City planes.:tongue: We did both economy and First class with them and both were great. It was true that the planes were out of the Arc but the seats were really comfy heeheehee. I was gutted when they went under.:sorry:
All the likes aof TC , FC etc staing larger leg room what they are not saying is their seats are more cramped and not so wide. So elbows everywhere. Once virgin roll out the new aircraft on the MCO/MIA route you will see a difference, at the moment they are on the Far East route etc.

StaceyMontgomeryThe difference, I think is that most debates here are not about faith per se, but about religious doctrine. The (many!) evolution threads, for example, are not really about whether there is a God but about whether the Bible should be taken literally. Despite the fact that science appears to suggest that many of the biblical stories have some basis in historical fact, there are plenty of Christian believers who are as willing as any atheist to accept that science has also effectively disproven many others (e.g. the Creation myth).
This seems odd to me - when we talk about evolution, we get lots of posts from religious people insisting that there must be physical proof of God and his intervention over natural processes. Things can't just evolve, they insist, God must do it all personally!
But when we devote a thread to the idea of such proof, all the religious people say relax, don't worry about it, you don't need that kind of proof, take the Universe as you find it.
This is only logical. The Bible was written by human beings with their own agendas and edited over the centuries through to the Middle Ages by other human beings with their own agendas. Some religious groups will persist in maintaining that, despite this, it is the "Word of God" and therefore accurate in every respect. Others, on the other hand, accept that - in part - it is an attempt to make sense of things which, at the time it was written, were otherwise inexplicable. Science vs religious doctrine allows plenty of scope for debates about what constitutes "proof".
This thread, on the other hand, is not about religious doctrine, but about whether God exists at all (i.e. faith). And science vs faith does not allow scope for debate about what constitutes proof because, by definition, faith is something you have in the absence of proof.
(Or don't, in my case!)

WOW!! Are you serious?? Just asking 'who was president'...when such & such happened means squat. Your baseless diatribe means less than hearsay. It's like asking,"Who lived at 1001 Elm Street when the Oak tree came down, Bush?"<quoted text>
Who was President when the Hoover, that had been there for years, company left North Canton? It was Bush but don't blame Bush. Who was President when Danner Press left Canton? It also had been there for years. It was Bush but don't blame Bush. Who was President when Diebold stripped it's workforce down to a skeleton crew from an industry that once thrived? Despite the fact that Diebold was directly involved in rigging the voting machines for Bush, and although they contribute heavily to the GOP, they fled Canton during Bush. How much was gas around here when Bush was President? It was $4 a gallon. How long has it been since gas was at $4 a gallon around here? Hmmmm never since. You live in a fantasy world of emailed newsletter propaganda. I have had a front row seat to the nightmare you guys inflicted on this country with GW. You are all still in denial of voting for him twice and now conveniently call yourselves independents or Libertarians. You are not fooling anyone and the only reason you guys try to put down the current president is because you guys wish the people who voted for him were viewed as stupid as those that screwed the middleclass when they voted in the "Mission Accomplished" goon squad. Things like Dumbama or Tyrant, Socialist...all sound stupid coming from you idiots who jumped ship on your own party and your own country for that matter. We won't forget who gleefully sent our soldiers off to die so Cheney's Halliburton could rake in billions. It was "independents" like you and yours.
Did the Bushes cut the tree down? Did a tornado or storm take it down? Did soil contamination kill it? Did an insect infestation make it rot? Just because the Bush's lived there means next to nothing. Just like saying other posters voted twice for Bush to imply that that had everything to do with his winning, that means nothing, no proof in any way that Deibold rigged machines, just the whining of sour grapes of the then name calling losers, you have nothing, including no lucid thoughts.
Cheney did NOT own Halliburton or even Halliburton stock while Cheney was VP & as you have been told by XXX I believe, that Halliburton changed names & is still doing international business including contracting for the U.S. because they are OFTEN the ONLY company that can supply the contracted requests which was also on the internet news.
You & your kind just make baseless claims to evoke the emotions of the shallow thinkers like yourself.
Just because you make a claim does NOT make it so...PUTZ

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Thank you for trusting Just Answer. I will answer as clearly as possible. I do ask for you Accept my answer so I am paid when we are done.
Does she threaten violence?
Family violence is basically any act by one member of a family or household intended to physically harm another member, a serious threat of physical harm, or the abuse of a child.
Family includes blood relatives or relatives by marriage, former spouses, parents (married or not) of the same child, foster parents and foster children, or any member or former member of a household (people living in the same house, related or not).
To get a protective order you have to prove that the person is threatening harm to you and prove that they are "family." You can likely prove "family" since this is the ex-wife of your husband. However, if she is not threatening violence then it would not generally warrant a civil protective order.
Here is the form if you want to fill it out and try: https://www.oag.state.tx.us/AG_Publications/pdfs/protectiveKit_dv.pdf
She may be liable for criminal harassment charges. You need to documents ALL phone calls, exact dates, times and words said. If you report that information to the police they may act on it if it frequent enough.

Silver is up, gold is up and this POS is down. It's off 4.5% from todays highs.... WHAT A POS
Attention: Board of Directors, and, Curt Bernardi
Senior Vice President, Legal & Corporate Secretary
Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re: Barrick Gold Corporation and its subsidiaries, Cia Minera Nevada Ltda., Cia Minera Nevada SpA (together, "Barrick"): Pascua Lama Project (the "Project"), Silver Wheaton Corp. ("SLW") and related Securities Act (BC) continuous disclosure requirements, and news publications.
We are the solicitors for Mountainstar Gold Inc. (formerly Mountain-West Resources Inc.). We are writing further to Barrick's and SLW's numerous filings on SEDAR, which publications make false assertions of ownership over a portion of the mining concessions on the Chilean side of the Project.
In particular, Barrick has asserted ownership of the concessions called Tesoro Uno 1 -30 to Tesoro Doce 1 - 5, inclusive (the "Tesoro Concessions"), as shown in the list of concessions included in the Pascua Lama Protocol, published on page 8 of the "Diario Oficial de la Republica de Chile".
Barrick has also asserted ownership of all concessions included in Appendix A of Barrick's Technical Report dated March 31, 2011, specifically including:
These assertions of Barrick's ownership of the Tesoro Concessions are manifestly false. The Tesoro Concessions documents of title show "Hector Unda Llanos", not Barrick, as the owner; nor is there a notation of Barrick's interest in the Tesoro Concessions in the margins of the Tesoro Concessions' titles, as is required by Chilean mining law in such circumstances.
Moreover, the Tesoro Concessions have been encumbered with a Court-Ordered Injunction (the "Injunction") continuously since June 2001, in a Chilean legal action having case No. C-1912-2001 (Villar-Compania) in the 14th Civil Court of Santiago; we are certain Barrick was at all material times aware of both the legal action and the referenced Injunction. The Injunction prohibits, inter alia, the sale, contracting, encumbering or commercial exploitation of the Tesoro Concessions, including the minerals contained therein.
We conclude that SLW, having done its sufficient due diligence prior to entering into the Silver Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2009 with Barrick, was also aware of both the legal action and the Injunction, both of which are a matter of public record in Chile. We note with interest that in contrast to the opinion respecting the title to the Project's Argentine concessions, SRK consultants had been careful to note at paragraph 3.2.1 of the SLW Technical Report dated September 9, 2009 "...The mineral concessions have not been independently reviewed and verified by SRK. SRK have relied upon legal opinion supplied to Silver Wheaton for this information.".
As regarding the Los Amarillos 1-3000 concessions (the "Amarillo Concessions") which are super-positioned geographically with the Tesoro Concessions, our client's Chilean mining expert, Catalino Albanez, has opined that according to the records held by Sernatgeomin, the Amarillo Concessions are limited to the exploitation of non-metallic (nitrates and salts) minerals, and as such cannot support exploitation of the metallic (gold, silver and copper) Project. Notwithstanding this inability of the Amarillo Concessions to support the Project, the Amarillo Concessions are improperly included in Barrick's Project 2011 Technical Report.
Both the Tesoro Concessions and the Amarillo concessions are effectively super- positioned with the Amarillo Norte and Amarillo Sur concessions ("Restituted Amarillo"), which constitutes a portion of the mining concessions in which our client, Mountainstar Gold Inc., has obtained certain rights. These rights are set out in the Option Agreement filed on SEDAR May 28, 2012 (the "Option Agreement").
SLW's improper inclusion of the Tesoro Concessions and the Amarillo Concessions in its Pascua-Lama Project Technical Report dated September 9, 2009 and, SLW's related publications, are interfering with our client's ability to carry on its business as described in the Option Agreement and accordingly, we hereby demand on behalf of our client that SLW (and its employees and representatives) immediately cease and desist from repeating allegations of this nature.
Mountainstar Gold Inc. takes its reputation extremely seriously and will take all necessary steps to protect that reputation. This includes, without limitation, commencing proceedings against SLW for defamation and slander of title and/or filing a complaint with the applicable securities commissions. In any such proceedings Mountainstar will seek substantial damages, including general, aggravated, and punitive damages and Mountainstar reserves the right to share this letter with the applicable securities commissions.
MM'S are now playing games. Silver is up so this is total B/S !
Barrick Pascua Lama fraud involving Chile's ex Prez and bribes. SLW management ignored the cease and desist warnings about title fraud.
Spanish to English translation:
Attorney assures that Ricardo Lagos will have to declare for case Pascua Lama.
The attorney Juan Torres, who represents the mining investor Jorge Lopehandía, indicated that the ex-president Ricardo Lagos will have to declare before the justice immediately after an investigation(research) that it(he,she) carries out 23 º Civil Court of Santiago for a supposed irregularity in the approval of the Protocol of Pascua Lama.
" Now the evidentiary term(end) comes, where there will be mentioned the ex-authorities that approved the Protocol of Pascua Lama.
It is a legal obligation, and it should be in this year ", assured Torres, who added that in the protocol " there were included mining belongings(properties) (Tesoros ), contravening a judicial resolution of 14 Civil Court of Santiago ".
This is all Barricks problem,has nothing to do with Siver Wheaton!!

000 AXPZ20 KNHC 270933 TWDEP TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 1005 UTC FRI MAY 27 2016 Tropical weather discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0900 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The Monsoon Trough axis extends from 09N84W to 08N91W to 11N105W to 07N120W. The ITCZ axis extends from 07N120W to 06N128W to 08N140W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is from 05N to 10N between 79W and 87W...from 05N to 08N between 90W and 95W...and from 04N to 11N between 100W and 104W. Isolated moderate convection is from 06N to 12N between 112W and 118W and from 04N to 09N between 127W and 132W. ...DISCUSSION... High pressure at 1033 mb centered near 39N137W...north of the area...extends a ridge axis southeastward to 17N110W. This high pressure area influences most of the area N of 13N W of 110W. Latest scatterometer data indicates fresh N to NE winds north of the ITCZ to 22N generally W of 117W. Global models are suggesting an area of broad and weak low pressure across the central waters in the vicinity of 10N119W. As stated above...the latest scatterometer data indicates weak cyclonic flow embedded along the monsoon trough in this area. By Saturday afternoon further development will result in an estimated 1009 mb low near 11N122W with a slight strengthening of the pressure gradient within the NW quadrant of the low. NE winds will reach fresh to strong breeze conditions as seas respond building to 9 ft by late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Elsewhere...Near gale to gale force N-NW winds along the California coast are expected to produce an area of N swell that will extend south of 32N Friday night and affect the north- central waters N of 28N between 122W and 129W through Saturday night. Otherwise...rather benign marine conditions are expected to prevail across the remainder of the forecast area through Saturday night. $$ HUFFMAN

Skip to comments.First Gorilla Born In Managed Care (WARNING: Incredibly CUTE Pics!)
Posted on 11/22/2005 4:15:14 PM PST by PJ-Comix
TAMPA, FL - Park officials at Busch Gardens in Tampa welcomed a new addition Monday; the first gorilla in the park's history was born.
The little bundle's 33-year-old mom, Kishina, experienced medical problems while giving birh to the baby gorilla Friday. So the baby was delivered by caesarean section.
The father is 9-year-old Cenzoo, a western lowland gorilla.
Busch Gardens is now home to seven gorillas.
Cute? That's stone cold ugly, man.
My Gosh... the last pic looks like a pic of a human...
Cumon, you've dated worse...
He's adorable! Of course, I love gorillas. I could sit for hours and just watch them.
A baby gorilla would be fun to own but when he gets older...uh-oh!
How darling!
(both my daughters had hat like that in the hospital. Luckily not the eyebrows!)
I thought the same thing. Too bad he has to grow up to be a gorilla - LOL.
Almost "Planet of the Ape" resemblance to human.
Got an "Awwwww" outta me.
The ones that are really cute are orangutangs. I was taking pics of a young orangutang at a zoo once and the orangutang then imitated me holding and clicking my camera.
Sheesh! What is it about Florida? just kidding
Those are some pics!!
LOL! Most of us have!
Apes have always been the most fun animals to watch at zoos. Perhaps they seem so human in many of their facial expressions.
The SF Zoo had one that was a hoot. He would play hide and seek with you. He would put a food bucket on his head and spy on you through a hole. If you said "peek a boo" and put your hands over your eyes he would play with you.
She musta been his teacher.
LMAO......great post.
Nice pics, PJ
back in the 50's and 60's the St. Louis zoo had the most famous gorilla in the U.S. next to king kong.
Phil the gorilla. his carcus was stuffed and on display to this day at the zoo.
I told my daughter and son that a 33 year old gave birth to a baby and the daddy was nine. They were horrified! They wanted that woman in prison. I assured them the mom was behind bars for the rest of her life.
I wonder how long it will be before they snatch it from it's mother...
Gorilla his dreams...

Peace Activists Deserve Leniency; Their Actions Exposed Dangerous Security FlawsTweet
January 27, 2014
If justice is served Tuesday, a federal judge will exercise leniency when he sentences Sister Megan Rice, Greg Boertje-Obed, and Michael Walli for their non-violent protest at the Y-12 nuclear facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn., in July 2012.
The three peace activists did much more to raise awareness about the security gaps at Y-12 than any harm committed when they breached the compound's outer fence.
Important lessons were learned about the nuclear weapons complex's security failings and, more importantly, the failings were discovered through non-violent methods.
We hope the court will take into account that the only real impact their protest had was to expose the extremely flawed and dangerous security at Y-12.
For background on the case, click here.

Looking forward to all your ride reports.
Looking forward to all your ride reports.
If you notice this notice then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.
i saw a bunch of them ride by as i was eating breakfast downtown.
My sad report: got up late, went to CSUN instead for a boring 60-miler.
It's like almost 2:00pm - where are some of the reports? Slackers!
Just Kidding! I can't wait to hear and see pics. I got back about an hour ago from an 81 miler. It was nice in the morning, but HOT as the afternoon neared. I was going to try for 100 and make this a back-to-back century weekend, but the heat wore me down. I can't wait to hear how Cool Breeze was. I bet the air was fine...at least I'm hoping as that will have meant good rides for all the little BFers out there pedaling their hearts out.
Woke up and went on a ride right past cool breeze, took me a second to realize wtf was going on. There sure were a lot of you out... I drafted a big group at some point, but I think they were a local club out for their ride (Hazards) because only a few of them had numbers on.
I just got back. I had a fun time. I did the DM route and did it in 6:04. It was a good course with lots of small to moderate climbs on roads without a lot of traffic. I saw some BF riders at the start, but they said they were doing the century, so I rode by myself for the most part. I would hook up with small groups of riders and would trade pulls. But for the most part I rode it solo.
hope everyone had as enjoyable time as i did.
BigDraft is all bidness!
I'm not fast, but I did the century in 5:56 @ 16.9 mph avg. The turnout seemed good, the air quality was a non issue, and the temp. was great. I really like this century and it felt great to still be pulling 24 mph at mile 95. I had a couple of buddies pass, because of the air worries. Too bad they missed a great ride.
I was 6:58 ..14.8avg...
I didnt make my 15mph avg goal...but what the heck..I gave it everything i had...
Overall a great day...beautiful there...nice and cool...great cool breezes off the ocean....
I rode with tpevost and vmc to rest stop, then I headed out fast...I knew I needed to keep going...
Would run into magicant, scootcore, nygirl and efficiency....I would start out with then then promptly get dropped...
However...I did hang on for great pullls, by magicant and scootcore on the 101 home stretch...
There were tons of bf'ers there..as well as a large contigent from SFVBC
Overall a great day...at least until I finished....then the **** struck...
I crossed the finish line...hung for minute talking...then mounted to ride back to my truck...my brain wasn't in gear yet...so I miss clipped and of course fell right in the middle of the finish area...
I heard major gasps as i kissed pavement...knee is pretty scraped and have chain ring puncture on the other side...nice...I am such a ****...

Ahhh...Herb. Sorry. You're not a ****, silly. Those things happen. But other than that, good to hear that you had a great ride. Any pics?
Did anyone happen to see the Lightning Velo contingent out there? Was there a large pack of them?

I pulled into the lot around 6:15 or so. Saw quite a few BFers outside and around registration. I saw Thomson at the starting line. As I was talking to him I realized I was wearing my glasses and not my sunglasses. d'oh. Back to car! By the time I got back to the start the BF crew had gone, double d'oh, the chase commences.
I caught up with the bf peleton at the first sag. I almost skipped it since it was only 15 miles into the ride. Glad I stopped though. We took off from sag 1 and started to ride... fast. But, we were in paceline for most of the way so it didn't seem so bad.
I left Sag 2 a little before the bulk of the crowd so I could take my sweet time on the big climb and figured they'd catch up, sure enough, everyone caught up in good order and again we went... FAST
I did the same trick after sag 3 since it worked so well after 2, but didn't realize Joel was having some mechanical word done, so I wound up getting pretty far ahead riding with Asia and Sheldon. Between 3 & 4, I ran into some old TnT friends who are pretty much hammerheads. They were clearly taking it easy, but even so, keeping up with them had me going .. FAST
Coming out of Sag 4, I was starting to feel it and hit something of a wall around mile 80. I could manage the flats, but my climbing legs were gone. I dropped to my easiest gear at almost every roller and tried to make up the time on the flats.
After SAG 5. Asia, Sheldon and I hammered for about 10 miles when we split up, I was having a hard time doing anything but around 19mph at this point. Any slower and my legs started to hurt, any faster, well, I really couldn't do any more as my heart rate was pretty much through the roof as it was.
Sheldon took off ahead as he got some burst of energy and Asia fell a little back (sorry!) I wound up coming in with a another group of TnT'ers as I knew one of them in the group.
I really need to do a better job of managing my pace on these rides, less time in sag and a milder pace will get me back in fine time. I do great with it in small groups, but it's tough in large groups.
I can't get the ride uploaded from my Garmin (curses!), but it was something like 6:15 ride time and around 7:30 overall for the 102 miles. It was great seeing everyone, great ride and great conditions.
If anyone has a garmin, please post a link from your motionbased.
That is all.
just being
It was pleasure to meet some of the BF'ers I havent met before...
chuckleheard for one....I missed meeting him in Oceanside....
Nesdog...dang your fast...
spingineer...ron your fast too....
Great to see James...matt and melissa, Lee, trac and wayne of course, bernie and everyone....this really is am awesome ride....
Wheel Sucker Extraordinaire
I was riding with my wife today, this was her 3rd Century, the others have been with Team in Training at a slower pace.
We got to reigistration about 6:30, got a chance to see Herb and the BF gang before they rolled. We rolled out about 45 minutes later. Saw Big John, several times today, and also saw Karen a few times.
My wife did great, we finished just a little over 7 hrs with an average speed of 14 mph. She did great on the flats, averaging 18-20, but she was still having problems climbing. The climb after Manning Park, I had to put my hand in the small of her back several times to help her get up the hill. People would say as they passed "how cute", a few of the ladies stated they wished their husbands would help them like that.
She has been riding less than a year, and every time we do rides like this she just keeps getting better and faster. I am sure within a year or two she will give me make me work a lot harder.
The weather today was great, no poblem at all with smoke or ash.
Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head (be de be lah lah)..
oh sorry.
Dragged my butt out of bed at 4:30 am. Rudely woke the dog and sent her outside to do her stuff so I wouldn't return home to some awful mess (the wife is out of town so I'm the dog watcher).
Got to registration around 6 and hooked up with the BF crew. At 6:30, we were at the line and away we went.
The Bicycling Guide to doing Centuries says to start out slowly and ease into the ride. Save some juice for later on. It's my usual strategy.
Ha! Not this bunch. It was a hammerfest from the get-go! We screamed out of Ventura and out to the coastline. If you didn't suck a wheel on this stretch, you were done.
Man oh man, we reached RS1 at Rincon averaging 19.3 mph. "Oh c***. This is gonna kill me. I can't keep a pace like this!" I was thinking.
Quick turn around at the clifftops and out we went again, figuring we would take it a bit easier.
Ha! Again, not this bunch! We rocketed out of the RS. The most memorable portion of this segment was a 3 or 4 mile stretch where there was a fairly sizable group riding together. I was riding with Ron (Spingineer) and we found ourselves drafting at speeds approaching 27 mph. It was both exhilarating and a bit scary as we flew through the backroads. At one point, I became the lead rider and lasted about 60 seconds before completely blowing up.Took me a while to get any energy or air in my lungs. I felt already cooked!
From pretty much the 2nd RS on, I rode with Ronjon, Asia and others. We had easy and light hearted conversations as we climbed the foothills and descended into the canyons under sunny skies. The past 3 years on this ride, it's been foggy up there. This was quite a change. There was little of the feared smokiness we worried about so skies were clear.
After lunch, we hightailed it into SB proper, still at pretty high speeds. Along the main drag, one of the group was hit on the left side by a pickup truck mirror. Luckily, he held his position and did not fall.This was the worst section as traffic, both car and foot, was high. On one street, we had to stop suddenly as a car made some quick turns trying for a parking space. I skidded as my back wheel locked up; I should have relied more on the front.
After the final RS, Asia did a great job of dragging Ronjon and I along the 101. Asia, you are super strong! After a 4 mile stretch, we traded pulls.
We approached the last freeway overpass and for reasons completely unknown to me, my body suddenly powered up. (maybe it was the Hammer Gel I was downing in a big way at that point). I went up that little tiny incline fast! and held a very solid pace all the way to the end of the course, just flying through the bike path. I guess it's just the adrenalin firing as I know we are about done.
In any event, I passed under the balloon finish line with a Century PR of 6:06:54, overall average of 16.7 mph for the roughly 102 miles, shattering last year's PR of 6:23. This was clearly not due to any strength that I had, but rather the very fast pace set early on and the willingness of my fellow BFer's to let me suck wheel!
Thanks to all for a fun event! It was great meeting many of you for the first time and riding with you. I hope we can do so again soon!
[insert clever quote here]
Cleave, I saw one group of LV riders. There were about 12 riders or so and mostly women. I passed them about 3 miles before the Rincon SAG stop. They were flying the colors in style.
and ty merider and redal:L:
Redal, you iz da biz my friend. You've been racing well this year!!
We had a fun ride, we did a modified metric double. The smoke was never an issue, and the weather was great until the climb up Cali hill, (after the second trip to Manning Park), where is was very hot for a while. I didn't need that climb, should have gone the century route at that point. I did have two popsicles at the last stop, though. Had chicken, tri-tip, salad, vegetables, pasta, and a roll at the end. There were about 10 in our group for a casual, social ride. No stats, not even sure of the mileage, just the way I like it.
Got to the start at around 6:05 am, and met a bunch of BF'ers there. Nesdog, tprevost, vmc, herbm, ronjon, magicant, and scootcore, among others. A little later, say nygirl777, travis, and Lara. My plan was to ride with BF'ers till the 2nd stop, then ride with my friends from Whittier Flyers.
Before I start, a quick comment on the air quality ... breathable. The sky was blue, not orange. I was talking to one of the workers, and she said it was orange yesterday, but today, it was blue ... so no problems with air quality.
We rolled a little after 6:30 am. Rode primarily with Nesdog. We see Magicant and Scootcore hammering away like it was the Rose Bowl Peloton. I didn't have my Heart Rate Monitor with me, so I couldn't tell how hard I was working. All I can see is I was breathing heavily, and I continued breathing, so I was still alive (but just barely). By the time we reached the first rest stop, my average speed was 19.7 mph ...
I later found out Magicant thought Herbm was ahead of us, but instead, was behind us. That is just too funny.
Oh, BTW, Magicant was nursing a bit of a cold, so there was no singing on the road today. No "Born to be Wild" or "Wild Thing" on the ride. hmmm ... not acceptable, Joel.
Got to the 2nd rest stop, and after about half hour, my friend Mary shows up. It turns out their group had some mechanical problems. By the time we were ready to roll, it was 9:40 am.
Met up with travis and lara at lunch. We eventually hooked up, and our pack rode with travis and lara. I especially liked it when Travis was pulling. Our train was steaming through ... thanks a lot for the pull, Travis. Not many times we can go 28 mph effortlessly, unless Travis is pulling.
A few people experienced some cramping problems, so we all pulled together, to make sure they had everything ... thank god for e-pill.
We finally rolled in around 4 pm (I think).
Finally got to meet Big John, face to face ... although didn't get to ride with him. Maybe next time.
Riding Time: 6:15
Distance: 102.91 miles
Altitude Climb: 4677 feet
Average Speed: 16.4 mph
I just got back from 2 weeks in Hawaii with the family on Thursday night (actually Friday, a bit past midnight) so I didn't think that doing a century on Saturday was a great idea.
Glad you both had a good ride.

Wall Street Protester Struggles to Explain, Well, Anything (Video)
I had every intention of going down to the Occupy Kansas City hippie village and conducting interviews, but the water pump on the Green Monster, aka my 1998 Forest Green Chevrolet Malibu, had different plans and began throwing coolant like Linda Blair throws pea soup.
But that's neither here nor there, and really far to graphic.
In my mind, I imagined every interview down there going exactly like this one:
Let me sum this up for you:
Wall Street Protester: I think this.
British Dude: Here. Have some facts.
Wall Street Protester: *Recoils like a vampire near garlic.*
These guys have no idea what they are doing down there. They haven't thought past step one. Here's their plan:
Step One: Go protest.
Step Two: ??
Step Three: ??
Step Four: Collectivist Utopia.
I thinking showering may be step three, but from what I've seen, it's possibly one of the things to be purged in the New America.

I simply love this necklace, it's very elegant, perfect for a night out or just a really eye-catching touch to a nice blouse.
It is slightly heavier than what I usually wear, but not enough to make it unpleasant. The glittery silver fringing really tops it off and makes this a stunning piece! All in all, I'm very impressed for the price.

Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
crunching_numbers - That is an idea worth looking at! Will you pm the information on who you use?
Just off the top of my head....the benefits of doing the CD's vs the bonds:
1. No start up fees (to a broker or anyone else).
2. Interest is paid monthly.
3. Interest is usually a fixed rate. (Even with bonds, the rates can fluctate.)
4. You start earning the interest right away. (With bonds, you have to wait on other factors, like the broker to process the deal. There were other variables I had noted when I looked into bonds before, but I do not know if those apply to your broker.)
5. Taxes are sooo simple! You don't have to figure out any additional fees, etc.
6. The money is guaranteed and backed up by the FDIC/NDIC (if you purchased with an insured institution). Bonds are not "guaranteed". They are not likely to defualt, but there is no promised land.
crunching_numbers - Please send me the information and I will compare the two ideas.
