Read an extract of this title
IT IS NOW TWENTY YEARS SINCE The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying was first published. In this book, I endeavored to share something of the wisdom of the tradition I grew up in. I sought to show the practical nature of its ancient teachings, and the ways in which they can help us at every stage of living and dying. Many people, over the years, had urged me to write this book. They said that it would help relieve some of the intense suffering that so many of us go through in the modem world. As His Holiness the Dalai Lama has pointed out, we are living in a society in which people find it harder and harder to show one another basic affection, and where any inner dimension to life is almost entirely overlooked. It is no wonder that there is today such a tremendous thirst for the compassion and wisdom that spiritual teachings can offer.
It must have been as a reflection of this need that The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying was received with such enthusiasm around the world. At first I was astonished: I had never expected it to have such an impact, especially since at the time of writing this book, death was still very much a subject that was shunned and ignored. Gradually, as I traveled to different countries, teaching and leading workshops and trainings based on the teachings in this book, I discovered the extent to which it had struck a chord in people's hearts. More and more individuals came up to me or wrote to tell me how these teachings had helped them through a crisis in their lives or supported them through the death of a loved one. And even though the teachings it contains may be unfamiliar, there are those who have told me they have read this book several times and keep returning to it as a source of inspiration. After reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, a woman in Madras in India was so inspired that she founded a medical trust, with a hospice and palliative care center. Another person in the United States came to me and said she was baffled by how a mere book could have, in her words, "loved her so completely." Stories like these, so moving and so personal, testify to the power and relevance of the Buddhist teachings today. Whenever I hear them, my heart fills with gratitude, both to the teachings themselves and to the teachers and practitioners who have undergone so much in order to embody them and hand them on.
In time, I came to learn that The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying had been adopted by institutions, centers, and groups of various kinds, educational, medical, and spiritual. Nurses, doctors, and those professionally involved with care for the dying have told me how they have integrated these methods in their daily work, and I have heard many accounts of ordinary people using these practices and finding that they transformed the death of a friend or dose relative. Something I find especially moving is that this book has been read by people with different spiritual beliefs, and they have said that it has strengthened and deepened their faith in their own tradition. They seem to recognize the universality of its message, and understand that it aims not to persuade or convert, but simply to offer the wisdom of the ancient Buddhist teachings in order to bring the maximum possible benefit.
As The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying quietly took on a life of its own, moving inconspicuously through many domains and disciplines, I began to understand the ultimate source of its great influence and appeal. These extraordinary teachings are the heart essence of the oral lineage, that unbroken line of wisdom passed down as a living experience over the centuries. Someone once called this book "midway between a living master and a book," and it is true that both in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and behind it, supporting it with their advice and answers to questions, are the greatest masters of our time. It is their voice that speaks through these pages, their wisdom and their vision of a compassionate world infused by the knowledge of our true nature, the innermost nature of mind. The impact of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, I believe, is due to the blessing of the lineage and the vibrancy of the oral tradition. Its popularity has been a humbling experience for me, and it has reminded me that if I have any ability to communicate these teachings, it is only because of the devotion inspired in me by the teachings and the kindness of my masters, and nothing else.
Over these last ten years there have been many changes in our attitudes toward death and in the kind of care we as a society offer to the dying and the bereaved. Public awareness of death and the many issues surrounding dying has been heightened. Books, Web sites, conferences, serious radio and television series, films, and support groups have all contributed to a greater openness toward looking into death. There has been a considerable expansion in hospice work and palliative care, and this has been the period during which, in some countries, the whole field of care for the dying has been opened up. Initiatives of many kinds have taken place, inspired by courageous men and women, for whom I have the greatest respect and admiration. Meanwhile, there have been more and more requests for those working in the Buddhist tradition to take part in projects and explore how they can contribute.
A number of my friends and students have gradually created an international program of education and training based on the teachings in this book and designed to offer spiritual care to the dying, their families, and those who care for them. We offer courses for the medical profession and the public, coordinate volunteers, and have begun to work hand in hand with hospitals, clinics, hospices, and universities. What is encouraging is that there is a growing recognition eveiywhere that spiritual issues are central to the care of the dying, and in some countries a number of medical schools now offer courses in spirituality and medicine. Yet, I am told, surveys show that denial of death still prevails, and we are still lacking in our ability to offer spiritual help and care for the dying and answer their deepest needs. The kind of death we have is so important. Death is the most crucial moment of our lives, and each and every one of us should be able to die in peace and fufflulment, knowing that we will be surrounded by the best in spiritual care.
If The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying has played some small part in helping us look at how we deal with our own death and that of those around us, it is an answer to my prayers, and I am deeply moved and grateful. It is still my dream that the teachings presented here be made available to people everywhere, of all ages, and at all levels of education. My original hope for this book was that it would help inspire a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at death and care for the dying, and so the whole way we look at life and care for the living. Our need for spiritual transformation and to take responsibility in the truest sense, for ourselves and others has not become any less urgent these ten years on. What would it mean if more and more people thought seriously about their future and the future of the world? Imagine how things Would be if we could live our lives infusing them with a sacred meaning; if our end-of-life care were always lit by a sense of awe in the face of death; and if we looked on life and death themselves as an inseparable whole. What would be the effect of seeking to make love and compassion the measure of our evely action, and of understanding to any degree, the inmost nature of the mind that underlies Our entire existence? This would be a true revolution, One that would free men and women to discover their birthright, that inner dimension so long neglected and unite them with the fullness of the human experience in all its mystery and grandeur.

The operation would be equivalent to

for x in x_dim:

LONDON (AP) — British police investigating phone hacking and bribery by the defunct tabloid News of the World have arrested a 10th person, a 43-year-old woman.
Police said the woman arrested at a London police station at noon on Sunday by appointment. She is being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and suspicion of corruption.
They would not confirm a Sky News report that the woman is 43-year-old Rebekah Brooks, who stepped down Friday as head of Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers.

Snow takes longer to plow in New Whiteland because the town has fewer workers. Many Clark-Pleasant students ride buses longer because the school had to consolidate routes. Some class sizes grew by 25 percent in Franklin when the school district couldn't afford to hire new teachers.
But in the city of Greenwood or Center Grove and Indian Creek schools, services for residents and students haven't changed much in the past few years.
The difference is due to tax caps, which limit how much local governments can collect in property taxes. Areas with higher tax rates, such as Franklin, Edinburgh and the Clark-Pleasant school district, lose 15 to 20 percent of the taxes they expect to collect each year because of tax caps. Clark-Pleasant Schools can't collect more than $4 million in taxes each year, so administrators have had to make cuts such as putting off building maintenance, not buying new buses and not replacing staff members who leave or retire.
Tax caps limit the amount of property taxes you pay. For example, a homeowner with a $100,000 home doesn't pay more than $1,000 in taxes. But for a homeowner in Whiteland, the schools, town, county, library and fire district may need that person to pay $1,500 to fund all their staff and services. Since taxes are capped, all of those local governments lose a portion of the $500 that is over the tax cap.
For about the past five years, New Whiteland Clerk-Treasurer Maribeth Alspach expected to get only about 80 percent of the taxes the town actually needs every year. So the town hasn't replaced three public works employees who maintain the sewer plant, plow snow, cut grass and pick up leaves. That means grass in parks grows a little higher, snow sits on the streets a longer, and in the future the town may not be able to pick up leaves in front of homes in the fall.
"Are we going to be able to continue picking up leaves and some of those services that have become a normal part of the way you live? And at some point those are going to be threatened unless there is some way to replace that revenue," Alspach said.
Some school districts are more affected by tax caps than others, impacting how much is spent on transportation, new equipment purchases and building maintenance. The money to pay teachers comes from the state based on enrollment, but the local property taxes you pay for schools go toward debt, buses, technology and buildings. Since school districts are required to make debt payments, they've had to slash spending in those other areas.
Bus fleets grow older, meaning they require more maintenance. Districts also have cut the number of bus drivers and consolidated routes, so those older buses are now on the road longer, too.
Clark-Pleasant purchased one bus last year, a larger bus for special needs students, business and finance director Steve Sonntag said. In Edinburgh, students and athletes now pay for the gas needed to get them to field trips or games at other schools, Superintendent Bill Glentzer said.
Cutting spending on transportation and projects typically isn't enough, so school districts also use some of the money for teachers and staff on other expenses. Franklin was expecting to lose $3.4 million this year and hadn't replaced 18 teachers who left or retired, executive director of finance Jeff Mercer said. Some elementary school class sizes grew by 24 percent, meaning teachers spend less one-on-one time with students.
Officials can't always predict what they might lose to the caps each year. Mercer expected Franklin schools to lose $3.4 million this year, but the school will only lose about $2.5 million. He expects the tax cap losses will top $3 million again next year, so it wouldn't make sense to hire a new teacher only to have to make cuts again next year, he said.
The city of Franklin is losing $2.1 million this year, which was less than the $2.6 million expected when officials were planning 2014 spending. The city has not replaced some workers in parks or other city departments in recent years, but residents likely haven't noticed any change in service, Clerk-Treasurer Janet Alexander said. But tax-cap losses continue to chip away at the city's savings, so deeper cuts might be needed in the future, she said.
Since the losses are unpredictable, New Whiteland holds off on purchases, Alspach said. For example, the town council will wait until fall to decide whether to replace two or three sets of gear for firefighters. Instead of buying new vehicles, they're buying used trucks to save money, she said.
"Major expenses that are budgeted, we don't usually make those in the first six months. We wait until September or October until we're sure there were no major unexpected expenses," she said.
If tax rates go down, the money lost to tax caps will, too. But for Franklin schools, debt payments will continue for about the next 10 years. Clark-Pleasant is in a similar situation with its debt, so working around those annual losses has become a new normal, Sonntag said.
And at some point, those cuts won't be possible, such as when buses have to be replaced.
Officials also are concerned about the impacts of the cuts. For example, they worry good teachers will leave for other schools where classes aren't as big and salaries are higher, Mercer said. Other school districts, such as Greenwood, Mooresville or Martinsville, which don't have large tax cap losses, don't face those questions, he said.
"I can't beg, borrow and steal my way out of this circuit breaker loss," Mercer said.

I'm relatively new here too and I can sort of see where the OP is coming from. I don't think it's snobbery so much, but it can be intimidating as a basic cyclist to come on here and see people talking about how you'll need at least $700 to get an entry-level bike, or about how if your fit is a couple of centimetres off you're going to have problems, or that anything cheaper than Campy Record or Shimano Ultegra will result in a horrible riding experience.
The positives outweigh the negatives though. I've had some great mechanical advice on here, and learnt a lot about the history of certain manufacturers as well as the value of certain frames (which helped me get a great deal). It would be nice if there was more focus on riding, and less on the bikes and accessories, but that's just the way people are I guess.

Go part 5 I say.
I finally got the nod from the insurance company - YAY! Market value on my old bike (2002 aluminium GT with ultegra) is $1800, plus new lid and tights, I'm going to collect just under $2100. That leaves me about $500 short on the new bike and stack hat, but that's OK as I picked up a near new full carbon and ultegra bike that retails for $5000 for $2500.
Good work on the tool recovery bbw, and nice effort with the rewards.
thread 5, for sure !
How about waiting until the posts hit 10,000? Nice round number that. :)

Onslow County's chief investigator is leaving the sheriff's office to become an FBI agent.
Inspector Rick Sutherland's last day is Wednesday. Sutherland will then head to Quantico to the FBI Academy and eventually become an agent stationed in Arizona.
Sutherland, who recently was given the title of inspector, has been the lead investigator on several recent high profile cases, including the murder of Maria Lauterbach. He's also been the department's chief spokesman to the news media.
Sutherland has been with the sheriff's office in Onslow County for the past 13 years.

During college I worked part time in a small bike shop and rode mostly MTBs. I need to ride more as I got lazy and started riding motorcycles. I still love my bicycles though.

Questcor Has a Drug Problem
After Questcor Pharmaceuticals raised the price of the drug Acthar, its sole product, more than 10-fold in 2007, its shares began a climb from pennies to $14 and change. Acthar now costs $50,000 to $100,000 as a treatment of last resort for multiple-sclerosis symptoms or for infantile spasms, a terrible seizure disorder that affects a few thousand babies a year.
However, the federal government won't pay such prices for patients who receive Questcor's drug under Medicaid. In fact, the Union City, Calif., company must rebate the full cost of its high-priced drug for Medicaid patients. One exception has been those in the Medicaid managed-care plans of a couple of dozen states.
Later this year, Questcor (QCOR) will be hit by a wave of new Medicaid rebate claims, as those managed-care plans take advantage of a rebate provision tucked into the federal health-care law. Questcor has set aside reserves to cover those liabilities, but not enough, says Mark Roberts, an analyst who has spotted many an overpriced stock at his Off Wall Street Consulting Group research firm in Cambridge, Mass.
"They are way under-reserved," he contends.
Questcor aims to offset Medicaid's rebates by promoting Acthar as a treatment for MS, whose sufferers usually have commercial health insurance. After Questcor doubled its sales force, Acthar prescription sales for MS rose 66% in the fourth quarter from the year-earlier level. "The key question for investors," says Questcor CEO Don Bailey: "Can our [prescription] levels continue to grow in MS?"
The answer is no, according to Mr. Roberts and those investors who have shorted more than 10% of Questcor's shares not held by insiders.
Growth in MS prescriptions will slow, he argues, after some doctors and patients try the $50,000 treatment after failing with the standard treatment of methylprednisolone, which costs less than $1,000. So while bullish analysts at firms like Citadel Securities expect Questcor stock to hit $20, on 2011 earnings exceeding 90 cents a share, Mr. Roberts foresees earnings of 42 cents a share. He thinks the stock could drop to $6.50.
In each of its recent quarters, Questcor has accrued about 24% of its gross revenue in a rebate reserve calculated by Mr. Bailey's daughter, a company employee. Mr. Roberts, the analyst, thinks the new rebates might expand the covered Medicaid population by 47%.
A 47% boost to Questcor's average 24% quarterly reserve would raise the accrual to almost 36% of sales. Yet the company set aside a sum equivalent to only 27% of gross sales in its last reported quarter, ended in September.

Jacque Le Moyne - Fall of Fort Caroline
- Details
- Category: Exploration
- Published on Tuesday, 26 July 2011 23:27

Jacque Le Moyne - French Artist
As an artist I knew only how to paint, but Jean Ribault was a soldier and knew the deadly threat that the Spanish ships we spied posed to our new French colony. His plan was to attack the Spanish fleet before they could build their defenses. He gathered a group of 200 sailors, 400 soldiers and l2 ships and set sail to attack the Spanish. Unfortunately a violent storm scattered Ribault's small fleet to the south and wrecked it. Menendez, that Spanish dog, took advantage of the storm and set out on foot with a force of 500 soldiers to take Fort Caroline. The attack was brutal. He spilled the blood of 188 Frenchmen that day: men, women, and children, it didn't matter. I was among the few who remained alive, along with Laudonniere. We escaped to ships we had hidden and sailed for France. Later, we discovered what happened to Ribault. His fleet was driven ashore by the storm and his scattered forces were in bad shape. One group of 208, whose ship broke apart, were starving and destitute when the Spanish found them at Matanzas Inlet. They surrendered to Menendez. After he fed and bound them, he executed 198. Two weeks later when Ribault and his 150 men reached l\/latanzas, they also surrendered only to be executed.
To expose students to the experiences of the French as they made a second attempt at settling Florida. This video shows the trouble that leaders faced miles away from any sort of law and order.
The French wanted desperately to establish a foothold in the New World. Spanish world domination was moving too fast. Rene Goulaine de Laudonniere was chosen to lead the expedition to settle Fort Caroline. The life of the fort was short and troubled but Le Moyne provides us with one of the best accounts of Florida and its natives.
Class Discussions
Discuss the importance that the documentation provided by Le Moyne holds for understanding the early expeditions to Florida.
Why was the Fort in such bad shape

Well i watched another episode of Tori and Dean in love on Oxygen.And was thoroughly entertained.I realize it's not an mtv reality show, but scince i already blogged on this topic once before i though i'd keep it going.The recent episode shows them on the opening night of their B&B and Dean gets to showcase all his hardwork scince it seems , in this relationship he would be the worker. 0 1
Whats up junkie's!(mtv reality junkies,that is)Well, I finally caught the first episode of the new inferno over the weekend and i caught most of the 2nd episode tonight.I as a long time fan of real world road rules love the challenges 'cause you get to catch up with peaple you haven't seen in awhile.No surprise but CT didn't make it past the opening segment. 0 1
The debut episode of Runs House started out with the family dealing with them losing the baby when the mother(i can't remember her name at the moment) was in her 9th month. 0 1
Ok the title is a joke because i actually like this show.Tori is surprisingly entertaining, as is her husband Dean.Who the hell is he anyway? 0 1
Soo they tied the knot and I must say lord help that girl and supply her with plenty of nerve pills.She looked lovely and i am sure that Bam is such a softie in private.Best of luck to them! 0 1

I have not been faithfully watching this show but i did catch the very first show and this one (the last) and a few in between moments.It's intresting watching the peaple at the magazine more than the actual contestants.(to me)But i was way stoked that Kris won she deserved it. 0 1
Well Missy is growing on me.I didn't much care for her but she has semi-tamed a wild ass man.So i've got to give her some props.I'm kinda intrested to see how their wedding will come together though. 0 1

6JSC/ALA/7 Revision of RDA 2.12.8 and 2.12.16, regarding recording ISSNs

Never copy and paste over the entire original wiki document.
Constituency Responses
Summary: All constituencies support the intent of the proposal.
BL prefers that there be an established order of priority of sources, and proposes wording. ALA position needed.
BL prefers that the instruction read "Transcribe" rather than "Record." ALA position needed.
DNB proposes to distinguish between authorized ISSN (presumably those in the ISSN database) and invalid/doubtful ISSN. ALA position needed.
-- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/10
I have no particular objection to BL's proposal for 126.96.36.199; however, wouldn't the same kinds of changes be needed in 220.127.116.11? - Glennan (PCC) 10/11/12
On "transcribe" vs. "record": If you can take the ISSN from any source (and not just from within the resource), I don't think "transcribe" is the correct term. - Glennan (PCC), 10/11/12
I'm not completely clear on the DNB proposal, since I think there's no difference in the end result from what ALA proposed. DNB is not suggesting two separate elements (at least not as written); instead, I think they're suggesting a priority order for what is recorded. Does the BL solution for 184.108.40.206 [etc.] better address this concern? - Glennan (PCC), 10/11/12
Members of the CRCC continue to support the original proposed text without the suggested changes proposed by the BL and DNB. Below are specific comments from CRCC members -- Tarango (CRS) 10-17-2012:
I don't have any objections to the BL proposal that there be a list of preferred sources.
I prefer the use of "record" rather than "transcribe." Transcribe, I think of as being taken from the resource itself.
I'm uncertain what the DNB is proposing. I can only think of one situation where it is easy to be in doubt of the ISSN on the piece -- when there is a title change and the same ISSN is used for both titles.
In other situations, wouldn't the cataloger assume the ISSN to be accurate?
I don't agree with either of the BL proposals. I think catalogers should be able to use any available source to record what they determine to be the correct ISSN for a title, not be required to "transcribe" a potentially incorrect ISSN from particular locations on the piece used as the basis for the description.
I agree that the DNB proposal seems unnecessary. Catalogers should record what seems to be the correct ISSN based on available information, if they can find one, and someone else can correct it later if it's determined to be incorrect. I don't think we need a lot of information about sources and possible doubt.
I agree that "record" is preferable to "transcribe". I am pretty sure "record" is in widespread use throughout RDA.
I like taking ISSN from any source. For ISSNs it is a logical approach; might be ISSN portal, the piece in hand, etc., either of these two examples are equally authoritative under most circumstances, but does often depend on the origin of the material.
I am also not sure of the DNB proposal; presently you can use MARC, 022 to indicate invalid vs authorized ISSNs, but indicating this in RDA seems unnecessary.
RDA 2.12 is all about the series statement. Traditionally this has been a transcription area with emphasis on recording/transcribing what is on the manifestation being described. In this area it is not necessary to verify the correctness of the found information nor to look in outside sources for authorized information. The place for recording authorized identifiers for the series is in chapter 25, Related Works. For this reason the original ALA proposal was probably not necessary. The BL's order of sources is not needed and is certainly overkill in this area. DNB's proposal seems to be in the wrong place. It might be more applicable to 2.15. --John Hostage 11:25, 17 October 2012 (PDT) (AALL)
John's reminder of what we're really talking about here is helpful. We approved this on e-mail without any discussion, but this is another one of those proposals where the "background and rationale" doesn't really explain why the proposal is a good idea - not that that seems to have bothered the JSC. Why do we want to supply a series ISSN that doesn't appear on the piece here? What would we do if an incorrect series ISSN appeared on the piece but we knew what the correct ISSN was from other sources? If we have the option to provide controlled series access elsewhere in the record (whether individual agencies decide to do that or not), potentially including the ISSN (24.4.1), why is it important to do anything other than transcribe whatever we actually see here? --Robert J. Rendall 12:13, 17 October 2012 (PDT)
Not necessarily disagreeing with John or Robert but offering the following. Is the ISSN a component of the series statement or is it really a distinct separate element that happens to be recorded in the same MARC field as the series statement? If we agree it is separate, then I see no issue with the series statement being "transcribed" and the ISSN being recorded. Then there is the not uncommon situation where an incorrect ISSN is provided on some issues and the correct one (or other incorrect) provided on others. Given all are found within the resources, which do you "transcribe?" I suppose a literal application of a "transcription" rule would result in giving all of them which just is a mess. My own view of the necessity of allowing the cataloger to provide the correct data rather than transcribing the incorrect data is efficiencies of effort and supporting the accuracy of linking. While yes, libraries have the option of adding authorized access points where the correct ISSN can be records, it is much more efficient to simply record it with the series statement. -- Tarango (CRS) 10-17-2012
Yes, I think the "real" ISSN is a separate element from the series statement that might or might not contain a correct or incorrect "transcribed" ISSN from a single source. And the instruction for recording the real ISSN is in 24.4.1, so we don't need to duplicate that with instructions about supplying it from outside the resource in 2.12.8. If you're not recording a controlled form of the series title in your record, you could still, following 24.4 ("using one or more of the conventions described") and in MARC terms, enter an 830 with $x and the "real" ISSN and nothing else. --Robert J. Rendall 14:03, 17 October 2012 (PDT)

K Hovnanian's Piazza d'Oro over by Hooters were some nice townhomes, but when the developer couldn't sell the units, they bought back any that were sold, and turned them all into rentals. That was a shame.
So for nice townhomes, you may want to consider Alacima, Rancho Rose, Casitas at Old Ranch. and maybe Brisbane or the Villas at Mission Point.
here are some resales available in St Cloud for sale as short sales. Homes there sold for over $300K - some over $400K new from the builder. The builder, John Laing Homes, went into bankruptcy last year so all of their projects went into receivership and will be sold to interested parties. So, what happens to St. Cloud depends on the buyer's business strategy. Some buyers will build out and complete selling while others may buy and hold for a better market.
The homeowners that are there are severely impacted in many ways - insurance, maintenance, hoa dues and utility fees all fall on the shoulders of the few that are owners there. It is tough to get a loan to buy a new home in there, too. Lenders are not willing to take a risk on the unknown like that when evaluating the collateral for the loan. So, if you have cash, you might get a good deal or maybe you should look at other good deals that are safer opportunities.
I have helped many clients find great deals in this current market. You are welcome to look for free on our website. I posted a link to the San Diego MLS right there for my clients. I'd be happy to set up a search that pushes properties to your email if you like.

OSU football: Alex Elkins' pitch for playing time was unrelenting effort
STILLWATER – It took but one preseason for Alex Elkins to sell himself as a starter to Oklahoma State's coaches.
His pitch wasn't technique or savvy or smarts; none of those were at all apparent for the player with just two years of junior college play in his football background.
"The best thing about Alex is his effort," said Cowboys defensive coordinator Bill Young.
Unharnessed, unrelenting effort.
And that's what Young saw in the video review of OSU's 2011 opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, Elkins' debut as a Cowboy and his first major-college start, providing confirmation to Young and his staff.
"On Sundays, we pick out the effort plays," Young said. "We only showed three to the team and two of them were him. The first game he played in, he's flying around, running through people, making plays 25 yards down the field.
"He's just a tremendous competitor."
Elkins started 12 of OSU's 13 games at linebacker, finishing second on the team with 90 total tackles.
Not bad for a guy who for a while was playing on sheer instincts.
"He would run really fast to the ball," said Cowboys coach Mike Gundy. "And he likes to play the game, so he could overcome a lot of mistakes.
"I'd say the last four or five games he started getting lined up where he was supposed to and understanding reads and certain things that guys in that position have to see to play effectively."
It was effort that earned the raw Elkins a walk-on roster spot at Blinn College. And it was effort that struck Young and linebackers coach Glenn Spencer on a recruiting trip to Texas, as Elkins charged recklessly downfield on the opening kickoff.
Still, the jump from junior college to the Big 12 can be a great divide.
"It was an eye-opening experience," Elkins admitted. "It was a pretty big step, but a great opportunity for me and a great blessing."
Elkins recovered a fumble in that opener against ULL. He posted a career-best 13 tackles against Kansas State. He produced nine tackles, a sack and caused a fumble Jamie Blatnick returned for a touchdown against Oklahoma. And he closed the season with a 12-tackle performance against Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl.
"I really started feeling comfortable about the Arizona game," Elkins said. "I wasn't able to play as fast as I wanted, because sometimes I'd have to line up and think – 'This is my assignment, this is what I've got to do.' And that can slow your play down.
"The goal is I want to be able to scratch that out of my mind, know what to do and go play fast."
The goals and expectations, by Elkins and others, are ratcheting up for his second season.
"His limitations, through inexperience, I have confidence we can catch that guy up," said Spencer, "because I love what he brings mentally and I love his approach to the game.
"I knew he was really going to close on his ceiling pretty fast, and that's what he's done. He's set himself up in the offseason and with his hunger to be great and to have a big year for us."
Elkins continues to display that unrelenting effort. And the savvy and the smarts and the technique are coming.
"I feel like it's going to be a big year for me," Elkins said. "Every year I've had, I've made a big stride. I don't plan on stopping now."
"Reason To Believe"
Cowboys linebacker Alex Elkins had no football experience when he tried out for the junior college squad at Blinn College – and made it. He had no major college experience when he joined OSU a year ago – and started 12 of 13 games. His reasoning for such successes: "Heart." And it's heart, he insists, that will lead to even greater things.
* Cowboys linebackers coach Glenn Spencer: "The biggest thing I look at is not the measurables. Alex is a big part of what we do on defense because of what's inside of him – his heart. My guys will tell you this is what I'm all about. He's going to be in it for the unit, not himself. And that's very rare this day and time. and that's why we're going to have a chance to be pretty good."
* Cowboys Offensive coordinator Todd Monken: "Alex overcomes (inexperience) with being a really explosive athlete. What he lacks maybe in terms of awareness of playing the game, he makes up for with the ability to chase and strike. The guys that can do that, can run and strike, can make plays that way, you make up for a lot of little missteps."
* Cowboys offensive lineman Jonathan Rush: "Whenever he's out on the field, he plays with a reckless abandon. He has a great drive and a great passion for the game. I really look up to him in that. I'm kind of envious."

Conversations with the Earth (CWE), a multimedia exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C. that ran from July 2011 through January 2, 2012, incorporated photography and film, music, interactive displays, and multiple languages offering Native perspectives on science and global climate change. Viewpoints from 15 Indigenous communities in 13 countries on topics dealing with the environmental impacts of pollution, forced migrations, negative consequences on local livelihoods, and viable solutions to the challenges of climate change were highlighted. The exhibits were designed to invite viewers to arrive at their own solutions and interpretations. Elaborately detailed through wall text, audio tapes, and lectures by artists and curators, the exhibits showcased communities and sponsoring organizations involved with the project. An ongoing, interactive website that allows people to increase their understanding of these issues is still accessible.

Iran: new audience for US scholar's protest guide
EDITOR'S NOTE: Iranian authorities have barred journalists for international news organizations from reporting on the streets and ordered them to stay in their offices. This report is based on the accounts of witnesses reached in Iran and official statements carried on Iranian media.
Iranian protesters wondering what to do next are being encouraged to consult a source that helped drive a decade of nonviolent revolutions in Eastern Europe: a how-to guide to toppling dictatorships written by a retired American scholar who is little known outside of activist circles.
But the Iranian regime definitely knows about 81-year-old Gene Sharp.
His name and references to his 1993 book have buzzed around opposition Web sites and social networks. Last year, Iran released a fictionalized video warning that he and others, including Sen. John McCain and billionaire George Soros, were planning a "velvet revolution" in the country, alluding to the 1989 ouster of the Communist government of then-Czechoslovakia.
Iranian officials have leveled the same charges against supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims the June 12 election was stolen by vote rigging and fraud to re-elect President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Sharp denies playing any role in driving Iran's worst internal turmoil since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But he said he would be pleased if his work helped Iranians wage peaceful resistance.
"The more they learn that there is a nonviolent alternative to both violence and passive submission, the more chances they are to take a wise course of action rather than a stupid one," Sharp said in a telephone interview from Boston.
There are multiple references to Sharp's seminal text, "From Dictatorship to Democracy," on Twitter and Internet chat rooms, which have become the Iranian protest movement's lifelines as the government clamps down on media coverage, pro-Mousavi Web sites and other outlets.
"Seems the protesters have no way of organizing themselves. Any ideas?" said one anonymous posting this week on WhyWeProtest.net, a Web site bathed in green – the color that Mousavi and his supporters have adopted for their pro-reform movement.
"These books have freed millions," said an anonymous response, pointing to Farsi translations of Sharp's guide and a similar manual written by Serbian activists who claim they used the American's ideas to help topple Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.
Sharp said the Farsi translation of his guide has been downloaded thousands of times from the Web site of the Boston-based center he founded in 1983 to study nonviolent resistance, The Albert Einstein Institution. A shorter introduction to peaceful struggle, written by Sharp, was legally published in Farsi in Iran in recent years, he said.
Sharp, who held a research position at Harvard University for almost 30 years, originally wrote his guide for Burmese dissidents waging an anti-government struggle from the jungle. It eventually made its way to activists in Eastern Europe, where it was cited during the Rose Revolution in Georgia and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine earlier this decade.
Sharp has said his group receives no U.S. government funding, but it could become part of Iranian accusations that the United States and other countries are behind the protests.
The roughly 80-page book lists 198 different nonviolent methods that protesters can use to pressure authoritarian regimes, ranging from adopting symbolic colors to staging mass strikes. Less conventional methods include skywriting and "protest disrobings." A portrait of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi sits prominently in Sharp's Boston office.
"The use of a considerable number of these methods – carefully chosen, applied persistently and on a large scale ... is likely to cause any illegitimate regime severe problems," advises the guide.
Sharp and other experts on nonviolent resistance say Iranian protesters need to diversify their methods away from just street marches, which attracted hundreds of thousands shortly after the election but have whittled down to hundreds as security forces tighten their grip.

Large campground located on a beautiful stretch of beach. Great tidal changes due to very shallow water. Lots of families and big groups on the weekends. It's very popular for obvious reasons. Nice to have hot showers available in a Provincial Park. Most don't have them. - gtogrl1
May 2007 - $22.00
First let me say that hookups are not available at any Provincial Park in British Columbia. This is a large campground located within a Provincial Park along the east coast of Central Vancouver Island. The sites are large, very level and most are shaded by large trees. Each site has a firepit and firewood can be purchased in the campground. In addition, staff will come around with firewood during the evening and you can purchase same right at your site. Staff are friendly, there are flush toilets and hot showers. Lots of kids. Great hiking trails and access to the beach. Paved roads throughout, so the kids can enjoy riding their bikes. The villages of Merville and Black Creek are close by, there is a golf course nearby and also a restaurant/pub. - Luke_Warmwater


text: Will This Risk-On Period Last? Daniel J. Loewy January 18, 2013 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe The odds of the market staying in risk-on, risk-off mode are lower than they were a few months ago, in our view—but still too high to take a highly aggressive stance. Market volatility has plunged over the last two weeks, as concerns over a European breakup have abated, China's economy showed signs of recovery, and an eleventh-hour agreement kept the US from going over the fiscal cliff. Is this just another phase of the risk-on, risk-off (RORO) market that has whipsawed investors for three years—or the beginning of a more lasting positive market environment? In a RORO environment, markets repeatedly shift between fear and euphoric relief, typically in response to news regarding the dominant issue of the day. Unusually high variability in perceived risk leads to unusually high variability in levels of market volatility. RORO behavior reached historic high levels in recent years, driven by concerns about subpar macroeconomic growth, deleveraging, and political gridlock over key policy issues, as shown by the display below. This behavior is not unprecedented: in the early 1980s, concerns about inflation spiraling out of control drove similar, albeit lower, RORO behavior. The display is based on a proprietary RORO metric that we developed; it incorporates many market volatility measures. RORO environments tend to persist: the current RORO environment began with the financial crisis five years ago. But by our metric, RORO behavior has declined steadily over the last year, which suggests that we may be on the cusp of a prolonged period of stability. In a more stable environment, we'd expect investor concerns about growth and deflation to abate, and take a back seat to industry and company fundamentals. We would also expect risk aversion to ebb in periods of stabilization. As a result, risk assets such as equities (particularly high-beta segments such as emerging-market and smaller-cap equities) would deliver strong returns. We'd also expect real assets, such as commodities, to do well as accelerating economic growth generally leads investors to anticipate a pick-up in inflation. But our metric also shows that RORO behavior remains well above average and recently registered a small up-tick, which raises the possibility that this latest risk-on phase will be short-lived. Clearly, there are fundamental risks that could drive volatility up. Europe is likely to adopt more painful austerity measures. The US has yet to deal with its deficit and faces the near-term specter of automatic spending cuts and political deadlock over the debt ceiling. And both Japan's and China's new leaders may make big policy shifts. Given these mixed signals, we think it may make sense to add to equities and real assets, but to hedge those bets. Here are three tools to consider: Adding income-generating strategies such as credit, which tend to do well in a low-growth RORO world; More frequent rebalancing after market rallies or dips; and Opportunistic purchases of equity put options as a hedge against a spike in volatility. The recent drop in market volatility has made options a relatively cheap form of insurance. That may not last.

It's avocado time: The only fat fruit gets its own month
Although California haas avocados are in season now, they are approaching peak harvest, so look for them to be at their freshest, most plentiful and least expensive.
You can talk all you want about locally sourced ingredients, classic techniques and innovative taste combinations, but sometimes you just have to put dinner on the table. Bodies need fuel and there is likely an expectation that you are the one that will be providing it.
Recipes that are good for you and quick and easy to prepare are an essential part of any cook's repertoire. But sometimes that's not easy to find. Often if something is fast and delicious, it's not very good for you. And if it's delicious and good for you, it's usually not very fast.
But this recipe, Black Bean and Corn Stew, really fits the bill. It's delicious — in fact it's one of those that tastes much better than it reads. It has a wholesome richness that you don't expect from a recipe that basically just requires you dump the contents of a bunch of cans into a pot and stir.
It's fast, just 45 minutes to prepare and cook, and it's good for you: it serves four with just 294 calories per serving (without garnishes and accompaniments).
You can crank up this stew for company by adding some more elaborate toppings and sides, but keep it basic and it's still mighty good. You know, sometimes a meal is a celebration, a moment of soothing nostalgia, or a memory that will last you a lifetime. But usually, dinner is just something to eat, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Black Bean and Corn Stew
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 4½-ounce can chopped green chiles
2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 14½-ounce cans diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 10-ounce package frozen corn
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cumin; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
To the pan, add the chiles, beans, tomatoes and their juice, 2 cups water and ¾ teaspoon of salt. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
In a blender or food processor (or with an immersion blender), purée 2 cups of the stew. Return the purée to the pan and add the frozen corn; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Serve hot and garnish with sour cream, shredded cheddar, diced red onion, toasted pumpkin seeds or chopped chives; serve with corn bread or toasted flour tortillas.
Original recipe from a long ago issue of Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine.

"I've found that a basket of fragrant muffins always pleases both family and friends, and that the cook gets far more credit than the effort might seem to deserve."
Rather than turn to ham hocks for flavor, my favorite recipe uses the often-overlooked smoked turkey legs to impart the expected richness and complexity.
Just because you don't have time for all that fussy stuffing doesn't mean you'll never taste stuffed cabbage again unless you get invited to someone's mother's house for Sunday dinner.
If you use brown rice, you'll be getting much more protein and about twice the fiber that you'd find in the average granola bar.

Ooo.... New idea? Tell me about it :3.
Oh wait. I'm supposed to only say this in real life. -Smashes head against wall. Then reads comments above-
Such a good idea. But when ypu talk about team rocket, Daniel is gonna be all like "Whaaa?". There were no ways of communication in his village, remember? But anyway, I'm working on the moves for the bunch of pokémon Daniel's getting for Christmas. I have an idea for Christmas- a flock of Delibird comes to the academy, and give out the presents :3.
I also remember a joke I made when I first got Pokémon White, because of all the Gary "YOU LITTLE..." Oak.
You are walking around. You finally trained your Pokémon to be awesome. It took months. Bianca comes by, and challenges you to a battle. You are fine, after all, you'll end this quickly and be on your way. And then, Bianca sends her Musharna out, level 16. You laugh- you have a Krokorok level 20. You are about to use Crunch, when Musharna uses Hipnose. You are out of any waking items. You just wait till your pokémon wakes up. While this happens, the Musharna keeps using Defence Curl. You finally wake up... And Musharna uses Hipnose again.
Because Bianca "Long lost cousin of Gary Oak" Idunnoherlastname, just loves watching you, through the Nintendo screen, smashing your head against the wall and rage quiting.
