Oct. 30, 2004
2004 Horizon League Cross Country Championships Women's 5,000 Meters Results in PDF Format
2004 Horizon League Cross Country Championships Men's 8,000 Meters Results in PDF Format
Kenosha, Wis.- The University of Illinois at Chicago men's and women's cross country teams took fifth and sixth place, respectively, amongst some of the top teams in the nation at the 2004 Horizon League Cross Country Championships at the UW-Parkside National Cross Country Course in Kenosha, Wis., on Saturday.
UIC was led by Mikhail Davidyan in the men's 8,000-meter event and Susie Martinez in the women's 5,000 meters. Davidyan closed out his run with a 23rd place finish at 26:45, while Martinez ran a 20:10 5K to place 29th.
For the women's team, Lisa Petty added another nice race to her strong sophomore season with a 20:28, just 18 seconds behind Martinez in taking 34th.
Rachel Covert was the squad's third-best finisher with a 20:52, while freshman Kerry Brennan was not too far behind Covert in crossing the finish line in 21:18.
Fellow freshman Julie Cain was next with a 22:47, while Laura Otepka, a standout in jumps during track season, helped give the Flames a complete team by running her first meet of her UIC career in 25:49.
The Flames were able to keep pace with each other, particularly on the men's side. The number 27 turned out to be Sam Watson's digits for the day, as the sophomore ran to a 27:00 finish to place 27th overall.
Near Watson was freshman Joseph Mbari and sophomore Jim Sulzberger, who finished right behind one another as Mbari ran a 27:04 for 31st and Sulzberger was a tick behind at 27:05 for 32nd.
Jorge Flores continued to flourish in his freshman year with a 27:21 for 37th place. Bob Dron and Jose Macias completed the course a couple of places after Flores, while Antonio Kipkorir wrapped up the men's meet for UIC.
Butler took both the men's and women's team titles. The Bulldogs' Victoria Mitchell won the women's event while Butler's men took the top six spots in the 8K, led by Andrew Sherman.
The NCAA Regionals will be held in Peoria, Ill., on Nov. 13th at 11:00 a.m.

Have yet to clean mine...

Comments about iRobot 700 Series Bristle Brush, 3-Pack:
We have had the Roomba for about 2 months now and I have yet to clean the bristle brush. The Roomba runs everyday at 1pm, 7 days a week. My bristle brush has not broken. We have one dog and one cat and the Roomba does a great job of keeping the hardwoods free of pet hair. The vac tank has to be cleaned out every day or every other day but that is no big deal. I really like our Roomba 780 and I recommend it...especially since I hate lugging out the Dyson and vacuuming. Roomba is a good house mate!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The final Annual Compliance Update for 2012 will be held at the Rantoul Library on December 13 (Session Code: 684). These sessions will present end-of-the-year updates on new or amended laws passed in 2012 that affect your credit union operations. By staying on top of the changes and avoiding potential liability, you will save time, money and energy.
Data breaches caused by malicious attacks using viruses, malware, and spyware are increasing in frequency. With the average recovery costs increasing, credit unions need to have the necessary technology, policies and procedures in place to protect member data. The Data Breaches QuickBites on December 13 (Session Code: 681) will contain eye-popping statistics, an overview of key privacy laws affecting credit unions, and practical advice on protecting member data.
Can you believe how bad we are at listening? We can do better. Tune in to the Effective Listening Skills QuickBites on December 19 (Session Code: 682) and identify the 10 worst excuses for not listening effectively and five tips to move you into the listening hall of fame. Don't allow excuses to interfere with your desire to understand. Physically and mentally, you must be present to win.
Fraudsters are constantly evolving. The Network Security Updates QuickBites on December 28 (Session Code: 683) will provide statistics from global information security studies combined with first-hand experience with risk assessment, network penetration assessments, and incident handling and hacker forensic investigations to give attendees up to the minute attack trend information as well as practical advice to improve the information security posture.
Be sure to kick off your 2013 by tuning in to the Interviewing Skills QuickBites on January 3 (Session Code: 403). Interviewing and screening prospective job candidates require that the hiring manager representing the credit union make a positive impression. The interview process will help the candidate and the credit union determine if there is a solid fit from a personality and skill set perspective and could very well contribute to a hiring decision that promotes longevity. Bank Secrecy Act training is available on demand! The Bank Secrecy Act requires that all frontline personnel be trained on money laundering and the responsibilities of the financial institutions on currency reporting and suspicious activity every year. See the ICUL education calendar for the schedule of BSA on demand training and all QuickBites and Telecourses. Also available on demand: Financial Exploitation of the Elderly. Elder abuse training – regarding financial exploitation of the elderly -- is now required for employees and officers with direct customer contact. Examiners will be collecting information about your credit union's training on this subject, as IDFPR is required to report training data on a bi-annual basis. This QuickBite will meet the training requirements and will cover:
All credit unions face situations where only they have an opportunity to witness suspected exploitation. Participate in this QuickBite to learn the common indicators and the actions you can take.
Play it again! The audio archive of all QuickBites and telecourses for 2012 has been increased to 60 days with paid registrations for most sessions. Whether you were unavailable for the scheduled date and time of a particular call or just want to hear the session again, you will have 24/7 access for the entire 60 days after the scheduled session. This feature enhances the value of audio training and is included for no additional charge. The audio archive link will be activated within 48 hours of the live event.

Our Mission: To Serve You
We, as the financial support system of credit unions, are committed to the "people helping people" concept of credit unions as cooperative financial institutions. Our purpose is to provide credit unions with a favorable operating environment and quality information, products and services which have value, and which enable credit unions to exist, compete and prosper in the financial marketplace.

Fast Facts
Pacific Northwest College of Art prepares students for a life of creative practice.
As Oregon's flagship college of art and design since 1909, Pacific Northwest College of Art has helped shape Oregon's visual arts landscape for more than a century. PNCA students study with award-winning faculty in small classes. In the last ten years, PNCA has doubled both the student body and full-time faculty, quadrupled its endowment, and added innovative undergraduate and graduate programs.
PNCA has recently met the $15 million goal of its capital campaign, Creativity Works Here, launched in June 2012 in support of the development of a new campus with a lead gift from The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation of $5 million.
PNCA moved to a new campus centered on Portland's North Park Blocks in January 2015. The College's new main campus flagship, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design is located at 511 NW Broadway in an historic federal building completely renovated with a contemporary, light-filled interior designed by noted architect Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture.
Throwing its doors open to the greater community, PNCA's new home is a dynamic platform for creativity and entrepreneurship, reflecting the influential role of art and design in our 21st century economy – both in Portland and beyond.
Undergraduate Programs
PNCA students balance studies in the humanities and sciences with hands-on art making. Undergraduate students choose from ten concentrations within four majors and benefit from interdisciplinary collaborations throughout their fine art and design education. Eleven galleries and a nationally acclaimed museum of craft and design offer students myriad opportunities for showing their work. Farther afield, students take advantage of PNCA Global Studios in Europe, Asia, Latin America, or Africa. Our Career Services Center and BridgeLab help students prepare for life after college through workshops, internships, and career counseling.
Graduate Programs
The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA is the result of an historic $15 million gift to PNCA, the largest single gift ever made to an Oregon cultural institution. At the time Hallie Ford made her unprecedented gift, she wrote in a statement that it reflected her desire, "to see a globally recognized center for visual art and design education located in Oregon." Since receiving the gift in 2007, PNCA has launched six graduate programs: the MFA in Visual Studies, the MFA in Collaborative Design, the MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research, the Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies, the MFA in Print Media, and the MFA in Applied Craft and Design (offered jointly with Oregon College of Art and Craft in an innovative partnership). These graduate programs are now united within the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies.
Continuing Education
Complementing PNCA's degree programs is a dynamic Continuing Education Program that provides year-round classes to more than 1,500 adults and children. Offerings range from the fundamentals of drawing and painting to master classes in printmaking, as well as Certificates in Digital Publishing, Fine Art, Graphic Design, and Illustration. PNCA's Pre-College Studios—three-week, college-preparatory summer courses for high school students—help to prepare our community's young people for the rigor of an art and design education. Our summer smARTworks youth camps are one-week themed workshops that guide children as they explore project topics and encourage their ideas to take form.

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the 10th, in 2003-04:
Directors' Cup No. 10 (2003-04) | 2003-04 Season In Photos
ONE STANFORD MOMENT from 2004 remains frozen in time. Stanford photographer Dave Gonzales was on the upper concourse at Maples Pavilion when he caught the last-second shot from Nick Robinson as the ball left Robinson's hand.
Stanford was ranked No. 2 in the country and had won its first 19 games of the season when it faced Arizona, the defending Pac-10 champ, was No. 12.
Stanford trailed by four in the final minute, but rallied to tie the score. With Arizona working a final possession for the victory in the closing seconds, Robinson and Matt Lottich trapped Arizona's Salim Stoudamire, knocking the ball loose.
Lottich reached the ball and threw it forward to Robinson, who had broken downcourt. Robinson scooped the ball, took a couple of dribbles and let fly a running 35-footer at the buzzer.
As the ball released from Robinson's hand, Gonzales captured the moment. The stunned anticipation in the crowd. Tiger Woods standing in the front row. Jim Plunkett just behind. ESPN announcers Dick Vitale and Brent Musberger in rapt attention, in front of a Sixth Man Club ready to pounce The desperate reach by the Arizona defender. The basket awaiting impact.
The ball swished through the net, and Stanford's 80-77 victory created bedlam as fans stormed the court in a joyous, yet frightening celebration for those trapped by the bombardment.
Stanford reached No. 1, captured its fourth Pac-10 title in six years, and won its first 26 games, finishing the season with an Elite Eight loss to Alabama. That game was the last for coach Mike Montgomery, who left to coach the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Montgomery is the winningest coach in Stanford history and his success with the Cardinal included 16 postseason appearances (12 NCAA, 4 NIT), four regular season Pac-10 titles, a 2004 Pac-10 Tournament crown and a record of 393-167 (.702).
Robinson's shot remains one of the great moments in Stanford history and was a highlight of Stanford's 10th consecutive Directors' Cup-winning year.
The Cardinal, which was third in the fall and second to Michigan after the winter season, rallied to edge the Wolverines by 111 points, the slimmest margin in Stanford's decade-long hold on the Waterford crystal trophy. Stanford, which scored 1,337.25 points, won national championships in women's tennis, and women and men's cross country, and was the runner-up in men's swimming. The Cardinal placed eight additional teams in the top 10.
Stanford teams placing in the top 10 were women's gymnastics (3rd), softball (3rd) women's basketball (5th), women's swimming and diving (5th), men's tennis (5th); women's outdoor track and field (6th), men's gymnastics (7th), women's volleyball (9th) and fencing (10th). The Cardinal recorded points in the maximum of 10 women's and 10 men's sports. Stanford averaged 67 points per sport.
For the Cardinal wrestling team, Matt Gentry provided its Nick Robinson-moment. Gentry became Stanford's first NCAA champion when he beat Ohio's Jake Percival, 4-2, in a matchup of undefeated competitors at 157 pounds.
Gentry won on a reversal to complete his season with a 41-0 record and usher in a new age for the Cardinal program, which could produce wrestlers that could compete at the highest level.
The Stanford men's cross country team produced a national-championship meet for the ages. Led by runner-up Ryan Hall, a future U.S. Olympic marathoner, Stanford crushed the NCAA record for largest margin of victory while also sweeping both the men's and women's titles.
The men scored 24 points, placing four runners in the top six, and six among the top 13 to win by an ungodly 150 points, the greatest margin of victory in the history of a meet that began in 1938. Stanford's top six runners finished only 30 seconds apart in winning the team's second consecutive title and fourth overall.
The Cardinal women, after six consecutive top-five finishes, unseated two-time defending champ BYU, with Sara Bei leading the team with a third-place finish in the cold of Waterloo, Iowa.
* * *
More highlights from 2003-04:
• The Stanford women's gymnastics team finished third in the country, its best-ever NCAA Super Six finish. The Cardinal earned 15 All-America awards, a Pac-10 title, and Kristyn Smith was named national coach of the year.
• Amber Liu claimed her second NCAA singles title and led Stanford to its 13th team crown. The Cardinal finished a 29-0 season by routing UCLA in the championship match, 4-1.
• Peter Marshall broke the world record for the 100-meter shortcourse backstroke at the NCAA swimming and diving championships (50.32) during Stanford's run to a second-place team finish. Marshall won three consecutive NCAA titles in that event.
• Nicole Powell earned first-team All-America honors and was a three-time Naismith Award finalist for the Cardinal women's basketball team. Powell was a two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year and scored 2,062 career points. In 2003-04, she led the Cardinal into the Elite Eight and helped lift the Cardinal back into the nation's elite.
• Tara Kirk (women's swimming) and Dan Gill (men's gymnastics) were presented with Stanford's Al Masters Award, representing excellence in athletics, leadership, and academic achievement. Kirk won NCAA titles in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke, winning the 100 breast all four years. Gill won the Nissen-Emery Award as the nation's top gymnast.
• Katie Norris won the solo final at the synchronized swimming Collegiate Nationals.
• Alicia Craig won her second consecutive NCAA women's track and field title in the outdoor 10,000 meters

By the year 2100, many scientists believe that the Earth's average temperature could rise by as much as six degrees Celsius. In a compelling investigation, National Geographic leads a degree-by-degree journey to explore what each risingand criticaldegree could mean for the future of our people and planet.
Through powerful filmmaking and intimate profiles, this special illustrates how global warming has already affected the reefs of Australia, the ice fields of Greenland, and the Amazonian rain forest. With a sobering look at the effects of our world's insatiable appetite for energy, Six Degrees Could Change the World explains what's real, what's still controversial, and how existing technologies and remedies could help dial back the global thermometer.

Do You Breathe? Good, Watch This.
By Resilience
from Petoskey, MI
About Me Movie Buff
I wish I could say just watching this makes you a better human, but actions define character. Do what's easy: climb back in your SUV, eat a cheeseburger, & forget about your grandchildren, because they'll never have either of those luxuries. It would be so much easier to remain oblivious than take personal accountability & change a few things in our short, sweet lives. We have no choice but to revolutionize industry & fuel in these next 10 years & break our collective addiction to ancient sunlight, or face mass extinction. Though it wounds me deeply to see barren wastelands where glaciers used to be, I do not worry much about my beloved planet, she has always weathered change. ...I worry about all the rest of you people, my vast & precious family.Kindly do the next seven generations a favor: watch this film, then change your lifestyle, before we all become the fossil fuels we consume.

2011 Ski Season Continues or Why We Ski In May
Here it is folks: Utah has received 701'' of snow YTD or 58 feet. Alta enjoyed a 200-inch base for closing weekend last weekend while Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort broke a 40-year mark and set a record for most snow received in a single season (690 inches and still counting). With these kinds of numbers, ski areas may be fighting for bragging rights as well as next season's pass sales. Read More

The Critical Hours
To perform optimally on race day, don't cram your pre-race preparations into the day before. "Crunchtime is really 72 to 96 hours before the race," says avid marathoner Lori Bestervelt, PhD, senior vice president and chief technical officer of NSF International, a not-for-profit public health and safety organization. "If you're trying to get more rest, load up on carbohydrates or drink more fluids, start doing those things three to four days in advance to allow your body time to adjust and prepare for race day."

November is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Awareness Month and University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources would like to emphasize the importance of preventing COPD for farmers.
The University of Delaware says the respiratory health of farmers is one of the major health concerns facing the farming population. According to the American Lung Association, 24 million Americans have impaired lung function, which is commonly known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); the third leading cause of death in the United States.
COPD, also known as emphysema and chronic bronchitis is a lung disease characterized by an obstruction to airflow that interferes with normal breathing, and over time makes it difficult to breath.
Here is a list of strategies in addressing COPD and other respiratory diseases:
- Know the respiratory hazards on your farm
Common respiratory hazards on farms include but are not limited to dusts, mold spores, gases such as ammonia in poultry operations, silo and manure gases; pesticides and fumes from welding and hot work.
- Know the signs and symptoms of COPD
Symptoms include constant coughing, shortness of breath when doing everyday
activities, producing a lot of sputum, wheezing and feeling like you can't breathe or take a deep breath.
- Get help
Consult a physician about a spirometry test in order to diagnose the disease as early as possible and begin treatment.
- Practice prevention
Use ventilation and PPE to protect yourself from the identified respiratory hazards.

No less an authority than Jerry Wexler has called it "a transcendent moment….a holy love hymn." Released on Atlantic in 1966, "When a Man Loves a Woman" topped the R&B and pop charts for multiple weeks and raised the bar for soul balladeering for all time. Yet Sledge's career didn't end with that momentous first single. Over the years he racked up a dozen hits at Atlantic, including ...full bio

It was also not a total surprise to hear of a confrontation in the latter days of February between a cross-country skier and a person with a dog off its leash in Round Valley, one of the fissure points in the long-running dispute about leash laws.
The confrontation, very brief and apparently involving a ski pole, occurred on a trail in the vicinity of the Quinn's Junction fields complex. After the incident, the cross-country skier waited in a parking lot for the person with the dog, words were exchanged and, according to the report to the police, the man said he had a gun and could shoot the dog.
If what was reported to the police is accurate, it would be a disheartening start to a season when Parkites and their dogs head onto the trails in greater numbers than in the winter. It also illustrates what has been a long-running division in the community centered on leash laws.
Leash laws are in effect in public places throughout Park City and Summit County with the exception of official dog parks. It is simple: The laws say unless a dog is on someone's private property or in a dog park, the dog must be leashed.
In practice, though, leash laws have been only occasionally enforced. Dog-owning Parkites, especially, would be perturbed if the leash laws ever did become a priority for law enforcement.
A compromise could be possible, but it is not clear whether any of the sides would be willing to reach an accord. Perhaps, on a trial basis at the outset, Park City could explore the idea of relaxing the leash law on an every-other-day basis in a certain location. Round Valley would be the obvious choice for a trial, given its popularity with dog owners and its semi-remote location.
Otherwise, we worry, a confrontation like the one in February, if not worse, could be approaching.

I recently sold my Lyngdorf CD1 and replaced it with a Sony X3000ES, which to my ears manages 90% of the performance of the CD1 for significantly less money. I would like however to try and claw back that extra 10% and maximise the potential of the Sony as a transport by adding a separate DAC.
Budget is around £400 and there seem to be several contenders, however many of the reviews I read are for DACs being used purely with PC audio setups. I would like to know whether any of these sound good when used with a CD transport spinning those good old vintage silver discs.
I am looking at:
Rega DAC
SimAudio Moon 100D
Musical Fidelity M1 DAC
Firestone Audio Spitfire Mk2
Arcam rDAC
Are there any others worth considering for similar money? I like the look of the Audiolab MDAC but it's a bit out of my price range, should I wait until the Westlake "budget" DAC that I've been reading about on here becomes available?
Thanks all for the benefits of your experience

Why We Lost, Theory #1: We Beat Ourselves
Now that a bit of time has passed and my initial reaction to the ALDS sweep has lessened a bit, I wanted to take a look back and see why the Twins got the broom. Here is one theory, with another to follow in a later post:
We beat ourselves. Plain and simple. No B.S., no excuses. Each and every game the Twins gave their all against a very tough Yankee ballclub, yet there was one key collapse and enough mistakes to go around that the only entity to blame for the sweep is staring us in the mirror.
Game 1: As expected, young starter Brian Duensing had trouble containing the big bats of the Yankees, and C.C. Sabathia was mowing us down like a shiny new Briggs & Stratton. However, in the middle innings, the Twins were just down by a pair of runs and manager Ron Gardenhire decided to go to the bullpen in a key situation to retire Hideki Matsui. Twins fans expected Ron Mahay, but instead Francisco Liriano trotted into the game. My reaction: OMFG. Matsui poked one into the seats and the Yanks never looked back. Poor managing, plain and simple.
Game 2: Too many mistakes to count, really. First was the now-infamous rounding of the base from Carlos Gomez (him being in the lineup in the first place could also be viewed as another Gardy Gaffe), where he allowed himself to be tagged out before Delmon Young could cross home plate and thus erasing a potential early lead and key run for the Twins.
Next, was the complete and utter implosion of closer Joe Nathan. Way too many times down the stretch of the regular season (and in this game, obviously), Joe would come into games with no life on his fastball, the pitch that sets up his nasty breaking stuff. Thus, he would be forced to throw the breaking stuff (which rarely gets over the plate) early and, when the patient Yankee hitters would lay off, he would then have to groove a fastball, exactly what happened to A-Rod.
The thing that sticks in my (and Gardy's, I bet) craw the most, though, was the debacle when the Twins loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the eleventh inning. Both Gomez and Delmon Young proceeded to swing at the first pitch of each at-bat (proving that they still just don't "get it", yet) and record outs en route to no runs coming in at all. I bet that Gardy could have wrung their necks at that point. Thus, the walk-off from Mark Teixera was all but imminent (if we can't score with the bases loaded and no outs, when would we ever?).
Game Three: The Nick Punto baserunning blunder was the deflation-point of this game, as Punto got a little too excited when he heard the roar of the crowd and decided to round third with his head down at full speed, completely ignoring (well, not even seeing, actually) the "stop" sign that was clearly given from Scotty Ullger. Jeter snagged Span's bouncing up the middle and easily doubled Little Nicky off. The Yankees then went on to dominate us (especially our bullpen once again) in the later innings.
Not only were those blunders quite apparent, but also present was the fact that the Twins left about a week's worth of runners on base throughout the entire series. Basically, we rarely got the big hit, and when we finally did we found some way to screw it up. Kubel, Cuddyer, and Young (the hot hitters who propelled us to the AL Central crown) were downright atrocious in nearly every at-bat.
So, grouse all you want about a botched fair-foul call that went the Yanks' way or the fact that their payroll triples ours, but the sad truth may be that we lost this one all by ourselves.

EPA Short List Long on Candidates, Short on Disclosure
The Environmental Protection Agency has failed to provide adequate information for the public to discern whether conflicts of interest exist for more than half of its recently unveiled short list of 55 experts for a special panel that will reevaluate the health risks of particulate matter air pollution. The short biographies on the EPA website did not reveal that University of California at Irvine Professor of Community and Environmental Medicine Robert Phalen, who has written a book questioning the link between particulate air pollution and adverse health effects and arguing that tighter air pollution standards are premature, has received research funding from the Southern California Edison Company and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the research arm of the utility industry. The announcement was also silent on Gradient Corporation employee Peter Valberg's consulting services to Carbon Black Manufacturers and an undisclosed mining company, and his critiques of EPA findings on health risks of air pollution for the Engine Manufacturers Association, and on the fact that Gradient Corporation is a product defense consulting firm that has received substantial sums from companies to write reports defending products such as cigarettes and the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (see Cheers and Jeers, below).
The announcement did reveal that eleven nominees worked for or received research funding from the Health Effects Institute. But left unmentioned was the fact that this EPA-industry partnership receives half its funding from the automobile industry. Industry affiliations that were disclosed by EPA included four candidates who consulted with or received funding from EPRI and Fred Miller, an employee of the CIIT Centers for Health Research,, which is supported by member companies of the American Chemistry Council.
Send comments on the short list to email@example.com comment period ends July 20. Less than half will be named to the final committee. The EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee last year criticized the agency's standard for particulate matter air pollution, citing "clear and convincing scientific evidence that significant adverse human-health effects occur in response to short-term and chronic particulate matter exposures at and below" the current EPA standard.
House Members Decry Cheney Role in Salmon Die-Off
In the wake of a Washington Post report, 36 House Democrats have written a letter calling for an investigation into Vice President Richard Cheney's use of distorted science to undermine the Endangered Species Act. Hearings could put the National Academy of Sciences under the microscope. In 2002, after U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientists found that diverting water to farms and ranches would harm salmon migrating in the Klamath River along the California-Oregon border, Cheney demanded that the National Academy of Sciences step in to review the finding. The resulting NAS report found "no substantial scientific foundation" for withholding river water from farmers and ranchers. The agency scientists were overruled and the water released, resulting in a die-off of 70,000 salmon in 2002—the largest adult salmon disaster in the history of the West.
In response to the letter, Representative Nick Rahall (D-WV), Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, has announced that the committee will be holding further hearings on distortions of science in implementation of the Endangered Species Act. A hearing on the topic was first held in May over the Administration's intervention in the recovery of the Northern Spotted Owl, as reported by Integrity in Science Watch.
Hearing Airs Rx Firm Influence over Prescribing, Medical Education
The Senate Special Committee on Aging last week held an oversight hearing on drug company gifts and payments to doctors, prompted by growing concerns among state officials that the payments may be influencing patient care. For instance, the state of Vermont, one of only two states requiring reporting of physician payments by drug companies, revealed that psychiatrists averaged $50,000 in drug company payments in 2006, according to The New York Times. The committee also considered the drug industry's influence over continuing medical education. The Washington Post reported drug and device companies now provide nearly two-thirds of the cost of the courses, influence what topics are covered, and may even encourage presenters to discuss unapproved uses of drugs. Public Citizen's Peter Lurie testified that "as companies with a clear conflict of interest in promoting a specific product continue to influence physicians, the result can be prescribing based on marketing, rather than science." Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Herb Kohl (D-WI) vowed to push for legislation that would create a national registry of gifts and payments to doctors by drug and medical device manufacturers, similar to the registries that now exist in Minnesota and Vermont.
Philip Morris to Study "Safer" Cigarettes at University-Linked Park
Philip Morris this month opened a new $300 million research and technology facility within the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park, a nonprofit whose board chairman is also the president of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). While ostensibly separate from the university, many of the current 50-plus corporate tenants in the park have collaborative research relationships with university researchers, where academic investigators are paid by the company to study its products or processes. The research agenda of the Philip Morris facility will be set by the company and will include the development of cigarettes that would be marketed as less harmful to human health and therefore likely to gain FDA approval if the agency begins regulating the industry. The vice president for research at VCU said no research deals have been formalized, and that rules governing control of research results and intellectual property derived from collaborative research projects with Philip Morris will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Odds and Ends
Environmental Health Perspectives, the NIEHS-run open access scientific journal which faced downsizing and has been in the news recently because of conflicts related to NIEHS director David Schwartz's alleged ethics violations, has received a new commitment of support from the NIEHS. The agency has reversed a previous decision to outsource the publication and promised full financial support.
Cheers and Jeers

Carabiners are obviously essential in certain circumstances, such as with any type of climbing / rappelling. But are they a good tool to have generally as well, and if so what might be some example uses other than the obvious? They're generally small and lightweight, so was wondering if they had any uses I hadn't yet considered.

If you want to store your hiking poles on the outside of your pack I find a carabiner works quite well as a stirrup for holding the lower parts of the poles.
I also put a lot of my loose items on one in the top pouch of my pack including, headlamp, lighter (on a keychain ring), multi-tool, flashlight, keys, etc. Easier to add/remove items than on those little plastic clips, and less likely to break.

Welcome! International students can find out more about International Student Services on our campus by emailing the Recruitment and Outreach office. We will be happy to assist you with each step in becoming a student here on our campus. Here is the international student application which you can download, complete, and mail back to us. In order to view this application, you will need to have an Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ, for more specific information.
Our small number of international students and the diversity of the group, makes COS an unique opportunity for students to get personalized attention and work with students from around the world on a more personal basis than at a larger college.
COS is also unique in that we are one of few two year college that offer on-campus Lodges. Many students spend at least their first year in the residence halls, which offer meal plans and activities.
Our Counselors and Advisors will help you select classes according to your goals and ability levels. We make sure that your classes are in just the right order to help you transfer or to reach your goals. We assist students in selecting a major and deciding on educational goals as well. Some students earn their Associate Arts degree, with a vocational certificate or emphasis, and most transfer on to a four-year university.
Many students have questions about the way units from one college can be transferred to another. College of the Siskiyous has articulation agreements with many different colleges including; all of the California State Universities, the University of California system, Southern Oregon University, and Oregon Institute of Technology. If you have taken classes at a university out side of the United States and need to know if any of those units can transfer to College of the Siskiyous, you will need to have your transcripts evaluated by the International Education Research Foundation, Inc (IERF). Please contact IERF at 310-258-9451 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out process and costs involved. Once you have these results, you would need to have them sent to College of the Siskiyous.
This means that all of the transferable courses which have been agreed upon will transfer and count as part of general education requirements, lower division major classes, and/or electives. Most students achieve two years' worth of instruction so that they are at the junior, or upper division, level when they transfer.
Many students come from an intensive English language school before they enter college. If you choose not to attend an English Language school, an original TOEFL score (470 paper-based, 150 computer-based, or 52 internet based) or an original IELTS score of 4.5 or an original STEP score (Eiken 2A Grade level or higher) are also accepted.
Students tell us that the best thing about COS is the friendly staff, excellent education, helpful labs (for writing, reading, math and computers) and beautiful location. COS is located in a rural, forested area at the base of Mt. Shasta. Our location provides students with the opportunity to go skiing, hiking, swimming, rafting and other outdoor activities year-round. You can also view a page that includes a map, distances from the college to other cites, and links to those cities.
We have a limited fee reduction program in which students who have distinct financial need can apply. This application is sent directly to the Director of Financial Aid, where it is determined whether or not a student qualifies for the Fee Waiver. This tuition reduction is available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a waiting list for this fee waiver program.
The basic rules for international students studying at any USA college include that students must be able to support themselves financially while they are here. Working off-campus is not allowed, and on-campus positions are very limited. Thus, students wishing to study here must be able to demonstrate that they have the full funds to support their education here. That amount is currently estimated at $19,500 in US funds for one academic year.
So, please feel free to contact us with your particular questions. A two-year institution is an excellent place to begin your college education. We can help you plan a vocational career or assist you in transferring to a four-year university. The total costs for College of the Siskiyous are close to half what they would be for a four-year university, so completing the first two years with us is a very economical plan, too!
Most of all, we are very happy that you might consider College of the Siskiyous as a great place to begin your higher education! Our international student alumni regularly come back to visit their friends and instructors here. We look forward to hearing from you, answering your questions, and welcoming you to our special college in the far northern, beautiful mountains of California. Again, we have a detailed FAQ for your possible questions; feel free to visit that area to learn more about us.
If you are an International Alumnus of COS, get involved! Contact or join the Alumni Association
Please send comments or inquiries regarding this page to the Recruitment and Outreach Office.

Forty years after the Supreme Court delivered its historic decision on Roe v. Wade, abortion still provokes spirited debate between pro-life and pro-choice factions (note: More is following Gallup's lead in using the terms pro-life and pro-choice). But recently, say some experts, it looks as if the needle has moved a bit in the restrictive direction.
The General Social Survey—a biennial poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, a well-respected, independent research organization—finds that under certain circumstances, people have become slightly less willing to accept women having abortions. In the 1990s, for instance, 83 percent of Americans, on average, felt it was all right for abortions to take place after a woman had been raped; in the 2000s and 2010, that number fell to 78 percent. Similarly, in the '90s, 45 percent of Americans would have allowed abortions for pregnant women who did not want to marry the father, but now just 42 percent would. Members of every generation have become a little more conservative about abortion than they were 10 years ago, says Clyde Wilcox, PhD, a professor of government at Georgetown University and a coauthor of Between Two Absolutes, an analysis of abortion attitudes.
Why the move toward the pro-life side? One factor may be the growing use of sonograms, which reveal stages of fetal development that most of us had never seen before. Publicity about late-term abortions has also raised the specter of terminating fetuses that are potentially viable outside the womb, a phase that is generally believed to begin at 24 weeks. And there's been increased acceptance of having children out of wedlock and of raising children with special needs.
Going against this trend are people who have migrated to the pro-choice side. "Personal experience comes into play," says Kate Cockrill, who studies abortion stigma through a program at the University of California, San Francisco. "There might be folks who have never thought about abortion before and, when pushed to deal with it in their own lives, decided they felt something different than they originally thought they would." Other women may line up on the pro-choice side when they are struggling financially (six out of 10 women who have abortions are already mothers). And knowing someone who's had an abortion can tip the scales: Americans with a close friend or family member who has undergone one are significantly more likely to support its being legal or accessible, according to the Public Religion Research Institute.
Starting on the opposite page are the stories of 10 women who changed their minds.
Abortion: some facts
- Nearly one in three American women will have an abortion by the time she is 45.
- Among over-40 women, 46 percent of unintended pregnancies end in abortion.
- Women in their twenties account for the majority of abortions (58 percent), teenagers for about 18 percent.
- Catholic women obtain abortions at the same rate as other women.
- Some 90 percent of abortions take place during the first trimester.
- Only 13 percent of U.S. counties have abortion providers. The procedure is most available in the Northeast and the West.
- In 2011, 24 states passed 92 restrictions limiting access to abortion.
- Fifty-two percent of females support laws that require women who want an abortion to see an ultrasound of their fetus.
Pro-Choice to Pro-Life
"A movie about abortion sparked my interest," Kathy Ireland, 49, former model, now CEO and chief designer of Kathy Ireland Worldwide; Santa Barbara, California
When I was growing up, both of my parents were pro-choice. My dad worked for the farmworkers' union, led by César Chávez, and I spent a lot of time at rallies in support of the grape boycott. My mom was a nurse, and she was taught in training that a fetus is just a clump of cells and that women have a choice about what goes on inside their bodies. I assumed I was pro-choice. I believed, Who am I to tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body?

This book is a summary of recommendations and findings from a National Symposium on Domestic Violence. To download the full report 74 page report, please click on the image. To download the executive summary only, click here.
National Forum On Latinas And Domestic Violence: El Pasado, El Presente Y Mirando Hacia El Futuro
In August of 2003, Latinas from diverse ethnicities, regions of the country, and representing a broad spectrum of organizations came together to share their experiences, hopes, and plans for building safe and healthy relationships, homes and communities. This report summarizes the dialogue that took place regarding the need to make the connections between family violence and racial and ethnic discrimination, poverty, and gender inequality; between family violence prevention and wider social justice movements. It includes a list of recommendations for actions that can be taken.
First National Latino Policy Summit On Domestic Violence
On June 22-23, 2000, Alianza convened 75 men and women representing more than 50 national and regional Latino organizations that provide leadership and services in Latino communities. The group gathered in Washington, D.C. to begin to plan a collaborative response to domestic violence in Latino communities. The Policy Summit marked the first time a dialogue of this magnitude had taken place between experts from the Latino domestic violence community—community activists, advocates, practitioners, researchers, and survivors, and Latina/o leaders from such diverse fields as immigration, women's and children's rights, public health, substance abuse and mental health, civil rights, religion, and the elderly.
Forum on Latinos Who Batter: Hope for Those Who Hurt Others
The Forum on Latinos Who Batter was a landmark event that brought together in one location, at the national level, men and women who have been working independently on this very critical issue. The forum gave those who attended an opportunity to share ideas, experiences, skills, and strategies for working with Latinos who batter. This report summaries several models for working with Latino. It is dedicated to all the Latinas who have labored many difficult years calling for the eradication of violence from our homes and communities and to the men who have stepped up to join them in this journey toward a culture of peace.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- It's the third most common cause of death in the US. As COPD progresses, the damage to lungs can be irreversible, but now doctors have a new instrument to help people suffering from the chronic disease.
Bernard and Barbara Swanekamp have a lifetime worth of memories. They've been married fifty-six years.
"He's my best friend," Barbara Swanekamp, Bernard's wife, told Ivanhoe.
But after a lifetime of smoking, Bernard has the chronic lung disease, COPD.
"It restricts my lungs. I don't like doing this, but if this is the way I have to live, then this is the way I have to live," Bernard Swanekamp told Ivanhoe.
But life has been easier the past year thanks to the lung flute.
"Usually I wind up in the hospital one or two times a year in the wintertime. Last winter, there was nothing," Bernard said.
Some people with COPD have excess mucus in their lungs. When patients blow into the flute, sound waves are sent down the airways, mobilizing that mucus. Studies show using it twice a day, improves lung congestion and other COPD symptoms.
"It helps with clearance of the mucus and essentially, then they feel better the rest of the day," Sanjay Sethi, MD, Professor of Medicine & Chief of Pulmonary at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and staff physician with the VA Western New York Healthcare System, told Ivanhoe.
It may also help protect against potentially fatal respiratory illnesses like pneumonia.
"There were patients who would come to me all the time and they say, 'Listen, once I clear the mucus, I feel better,'" Dr. Sethi said.
Bernard relies on the flute.
"It saves me a lot of trips to the hospital, I'll tell you that. This thing has made a world of difference in my life. It really has," Bernard explained.
"When he feels better, I feel better," Barbara said.
The lung flute is FDA approved. Insurance typically covers most of the cost, but if you'd rather pay out of pocket the lung flute and a six month supply of reeds only runs about 50 dollars. A doctor's prescription is needed to get one. MORE

A:Yes, these are made using our standard Extraordinary Thigh Highs. However, the amount of stretch (both up and out) is decreased by the dying process, which is reflected in the Sizing Tips listed for this product.Answered on 12/30/2014 by rachel from Sock Dreams HQ
A little extra warmth without bulk is perfect for the cold gym, but I'm finding that I love them as a sleeve extension under sweaters and thermals. If you don't know about arm warmers-- get educated!

Do-it-yourself carburetor cleaning
Fuel left inside an engine for longer than 30 days begins gumming up, forming a varnish-like material that clogs up the small jets and ports in the carburetor. To clean the bowl, use carb cleaner and scrape out the varnish.
Subaru Industrial Power Equipment
When cleaning the carburetor, first drain the carburetor bowl by removing the drain screw.
Often its easier to completely remove the carburetor for cleaning. Start by removing the choke lever. Unlatch the governor link and the tensioning spring with needle nose pliers.
Check the gasket on the inside of the air filter assembly to be sure its in good shape.
Subarua Industrial Power Equipment
Check the gasket on the inside of the air filter assembly to be sure it's in good shape.
Remove the hinge pin from the float. With the float comes the needle, which should be cleaned.
Subaru Indstrial Power Equipment
After lifting the float, the main jet in the carburetor is visible. The jets passage is where fuel flows through the carburetor into the combustion chambers. To inspect, remove the jet with a flat blade screwdriver.
To open the passage of the jet, spray carb cleaner on it and use one bristle of a wire brush to insert and clear out any particles or gummed fuel. Be careful not to make it any larger than its original size.
The limit cap is part of the tamper-proof system required by the EPA. It is a non-serviceable part, so handle it with extra care.
Clean the main nozzle passage until its free of grime. Be sure the holes on the sides are open and clean as well.
Check to see the gasket (either flat or O-ring) that seals the carburetor bowl to the carburetor body is in position and not torn or warped.
Engine hunting and surging. Poor or no starting. Running solely on choke. These symptoms often point to the carburetor. When a carburetor is clean and working correctly, the engine should start easily, idle smoothly, accelerate without stumbling, and run with normal fuel economy.
Carburetors can be expensive to replace. But this important part often requires TLC rather than an entire replacement. With a few tools, a shop towel, and a couple of hours, you can clean the carburetor yourself and save time and money.
The number of problems with carburetors has increased with the introduction of treated fuels such as E10, which contains ethanol. Ethanol, which is pure alcohol, attracts moisture and leads to corrosion inside the fuel tank and carburetor. Also, if E10 is left inside a small engine for too long, the volatile ingredients will eventually evaporate, leaving a thick, sticky, varnish-like product. This gummy varnish then lines the carburetor bowl and begins clogging up the small jets and ports, creating problems.
Even expired gas (sitting more than 30 days) poured in from a can might be dirty or contain rust that clogs lines. The solution is to drain old fuel from the float bowl and clean with carburetor cleaner.

ZF2-549: Zend\Log\Formatter\ErrorHandler does not handle complex events generated by error handlers
When using Zend\Log\Formatter\ErrorHandler to format logs generated by an event handler, such as the ones you get when you call \Zend\Log\Logger::registerErrorHandler, a PHP Notice appears because the $event parameter is a 3-dimensional array due to the fact that the error context can be complex. I will make a pull request on github with a test case and a possible fix.

ZF-8177: Registering helpers with views
From a request on the FW-MVC mailing list, Zend_View should offer a way to register helper objects without relying on the plugin loader. This would allow for dependency injection, objects that don't follow the PEAR naming convention, and PHP 5.3 namespaces.
I'm putting together a patch that will allow registering custom helpers like this:
// Adding a custom helper $view = new Zend_View(); $helper = new MyCustomHelper(); $view->addHelper($helper, 'foo'); $view->foo(); // calls MyCustomHelper#foo()
// Overwriting a built-in helper $myUrlHelper = new MyUrlHelper(); $view->addHelper($myUrlHelper, 'url'); $view->url(); // calls MyUrlHelper#url();
Any thoughts on this?
I'm wondering now if it's a good idea also to include anonymous functions here as well (a la Zend_Validate_Callback). Of course, one could always create a "Callback" helper this way as well, which would accomplish the same purpose, without having to change things around too much.
What would that code look like? So far I have this:
/** * Registers a helper * * @param Zend_View_Helper_Abstract|object $helper * @param string $name * @return Zend_View_Abstract */ public function registerHelper($helper, $name) { if (!is_object($helper)) { throw new Zend_View_Exception('View helper must be an object.', $this); } $this->_helper[$name] = $helper; return $this; }
Sorry, forgot to add the code markup.. this should look better:
* Registers a helper
* @param Zend_View_Helper_Abstract|object $helper
* @param string $name
* @return Zend_View_Abstract
public function registerHelper($helper, $name)
if (!is_object($helper)) {
throw new Zend_View_Exception('View helper must be an object.', $this);
$this->_helper[$name] = $helper;
return $this;
What you have here seems to me to be sufficient for the main purpose of this feature (of course it must be tested!). As for adding in the anonymous function capabilities, you would probably have to change the __call method of Zend_View_Abstract, because that method is expecting a class and a method.
I don't have a CLA yet but I've attached the patch and passing unit test.
Please see attached files for fix and passing unit test.
Re-opening. Attaching a patch does not resolve an issue; committing code to the repository does. I'll review the patch for inclusion.
Thanks, Matthew. I don't have SVN commit privileges (that I know of). How can I submit a patch for review?
You just did. ;-)
Seriously, though, attaching patches to the issue tracker is the best way to do so. If you notice no action on one, feel free to bug the component lead (either directly, or via the zf-contributors mailing list).
Patches applied (with additional tests and slight changes in functionality) to trunk; will release with 1.10.
