Expert Advice
Choose the Perfect Option for Your Hike
The straps of your backpacks should be stiff enough to support the weight without sagging. Contoured, S-curve straps provide a comfortable, ergonomic fit. Foam in the shoulder and hip belts provide added cushion, while mesh-lined straps keep the bag breathable on your shoulders. Compression-molded straps deliver the best support available.
Before making your purchase, think about how you will use your new bag. Learn more about the different type of bags and packs available at DICKS Sporting Goods:
- Daypacks are intended for use by hikers and campers on shorter trails and trips, and are generally lightweight, soft backed or frameless.
- Sport Backpacks feature compartments for equipment, footwear and water bottles.
- School Backpacks are designed to carry multiple books, papers and travel accessories, are generally frameless, and have internal pockets for extra organization.
- Internal Frame Packs are made for long hikes and feature rigid frames that help position the weight of your load.
- External Frame Packs support heavy loads from attached pack and harnesses. These designs are cooler to carry in hot temperatures because the pack does not rest against your back, allowing air to circulate.
- Hydration Packs are designed to provide water while you're on the move. Users drink water via a tube equipped with a non-leaking valve.

John Fedchock's New York Big Band at Cachaca
June 10, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: 8th street, bgo, cachaca, eclipse, epistrophy, excitement, freddy hubbard, gridlock, Jazz Alive, john fedchock, measures, monk, phrase, roy hargrove big band, trombonist, veteran, woody herman orchestra
Cachaca on West 8th Street is new. (Much on West 8th Street is new.) It's a deep, inviting, sound-lively room and the John Fedchock's Big Band took it over tonight. The band has been together 20 years with consistent personnel, but I understand it doesn't often play live. Having heard some tracks on BGO, I've been determined to get out and see them. Good idea! Trombonist and composer Fedchock is a veteran of the Woody Herman orchestra. Two of John's arrangements in the middle of the set -- of Eclipse by Freddy Hubbard and Epistrophy by Monk -- seemed to transcend the situation. Eclipse had a phrase that (to me) channeled the Woody Herman's orchestra, which I've never heard but I'm sure I heard it in that phrase. In Epistrophy there was a short stretch (a matter of measures) that sounded JUST LIKE New York gridlock. Stuck but with energy. I couldn't stop to ponder how they did that because I would have missed the next excitement. There was background writing for most of the solos, no one was left to fend for himself for long. Once again (as last week with the Roy Hargrove Big Band), the room moved. That's my report & I'm happy to deliver it. The most recent CD is Up and Running (Reservoir label).

Live at the Village Vanguard Concert Series

WBGO/Jazz88.3FM in Newark, NJ and NPR Music will webcast and broadcast a concert series from the legendary New York City jazz club, The Village Vanguard. The Live at The Village Vanguard series begins next week and will offer monthly concerts for live, free streaming at WBGO.org. Concerts in the series will also be broadcast live NPR Music at www.NPR.org/music.
The Village Vanguard is arguably the Mecca of jazz performance venues. Well into its seventh decade, the Vanguard is revered around the world for its rich history, its continued commitment to jazz, and its near-perfect acoustics. Next spring, WBGO/Jazz 88.3 FM celebrates its 30th anniversary as the premiere jazz broadcaster in the country. Last fall, National Public Radio (NPR) launched the highly anticipated NPR Music site - a free, comprehensive music discovery destination, featuring content from NPR and 12 NPR Member public radio stations, which include WBGO. Now, this trio of music producers and presenters have come together to create a jazz experience that melds new media, technology, and of course - jazz.
Live at the Village Vanguard is a newly launched monthly series from WBGO, The Village Vanguard and NPR that presents jazz programming in a completely fresh way, using multi-platform media to heighten the jazz experience. "WBGO is a public media institution. We are natural communicators, and our mission is jazz. Social media platforms give us the opportunity to build on our foundation, to find and create new fans, and to reach out to people with a real-time connection to music made in the moment," says WBGO Special Projects Producer, Josh Jackson.
Music and social media is the core of this project along with the fundamental notion shared by all involved that jazz is not an exclusive genre on the margin of the vast and expanding media trends and experiences. Beyond your typical live broadcast radio experience, the concerts will be hosted by Jackson, who will be blogging and web-chatting during the performances, in real time from inside the club, on the WBGO Blog: Jazz & Beyond (WBGO.org/blog). The WBGO broadcast team will create exclusive content to connect personally with the public, such as an online photo gallery created live during the concerts that visitors can check out using Flickr, an online photo management and sharing application gallery.
Live at The Village Vanguard begins on June 11 with Guillermo Klein y Los Guachos, the Argentine pianist and composer and his 11-piece band. On June 18, WBGO, NPR and the Vanguard present a live show with innovative jazz drummer Brian Blade, in performance with the Fellowship Band. Other scheduled concerts are the Uri Caine Trio on July 1; the Kenny Barron Quintet on August 27; Paul Motian, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano on September 3; the Bill Charlap Trio on October 8; the Ravi Coltrane Quartet on November 19; and the Cedar Walton Quartet on December 17.
Jazz content currently accounts for 15 percent of the music on the NPR music site, and NPR believes this is an exciting way to reintroduce the genre to its overall audience. Live at The Village Vanguard is the first jazz concert series to be live webcast by NPR Music and the latest addition to the site's popular "Concerts" section, which features hundreds of regional and national web concerts and adds more than 15 new performances each month. The series continues NPR Music's long tradition of presenting live performance jazz on air and online.
The Village Vanguard continues to blaze the trail when it comes to live performance. Vanguard owner Lorraine Gordon did not hesitate when she was approached with the idea of a broadcast collaboration. "It's an honor and a pleasure to work with WBGO. [W]BGO is a part of the structure of jazz today and the scene…very necessary."

Oris Concert Series
June 4, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
The 11th Annual Oris Sprit of Jazz Concert Series kicked off yesterday. Good times. Blues guitarist Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson performed and was a total crowd pleaser. I think for me, with the passing of Bo Diddley, a true Rock 'n Roll pioneer and father, it was really fitting for some reason.
The Oris concerts will take place every Tuesday in June from 12 PM - 2PM. Soulful saxophonist Houston Person brings his quartet on June 10, pianist Eric Reed and his quartet are on June 17, and we wrap up the series with trombonist Steve Turre and his quintet on June 24.
Each year, Oris also presents a retrospective exhibit to accompany the live music series. Past exhibits have honored jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, and others. This year, Oris is celebrating America's original art form, with an exhibit simply titled The Blues. Visit the Tourneau TimeMachine Exhibit Hall, where you can view rare and never-before-seen blues memorabilia, photos and more. The exhibit will be on display the entire month of June. Exhibit hall viewing hours are 10:00 AM-6:00 PM on Mon - Wed; Fri and Sat. 10:00 AM-7:00 PM on Thursdays and from 11:30 AM-5:30 PM on Sundays.

Winter weather often brings power outages to Arkansas residents for hours, sometimes days.
Imagine living without electricity every day. Many residents in four remote villages in Huehuetenango, Guatemala have lived their entire lives without power. However, thanks to First Electric Cooperative and the NRECA International Foundation these villagers will now have their lights and their lives transformed.
"First Electric is participating in this mission because we want the villagers who have gone so long without electricity to experience how it can improve the quality of their daily lives," First Electric President and CEO Don Crabbe said.
The Stuttgart Daily Leader sat down with First Electric lineman Kevin Riddle at the Stuttgart office of First Electric. Riddle was the only representative from the Stuttgart office who went to Guatemala but said there is another group from other co-ops that is going back in April to do the same work for three more villages.
DT: What made you want to go on this trip?
KR: I wanted to help the people there, to improve their way of life. These people greatly appreciated what we did for them.
DT: How long were you gone on this trip?
KR: We were there 17 days. We put in new wire, new service, hung meter loops, put in anchors and transformers. We had no modern equipment, we did all the work by hand.
"This trip was a very humbling experience for me. What we did there is what was done here 75 years ago. It made me appreciative of what we have in this country after seeing what they did not have."
Riddle joined First Electric linemen Randy Evans and John Hawkins and other electric cooperatives from around the state to bring electricity to Guatemalan villages.
The Arkansas electric cooperatives and ERMCO donated materials, labor and funds to assist with the project. Cooperative crews assisted in construction of electric distribution line and related infrastructure and provide some training to local line workers. The Arkansas crew began their trip on Oct. 16.
Other linemen and their respective cooperatives that participated in the project are: Blake Bowers and Shannon Strope, Craighead Electric Cooperative; Tommy Jones of Mississippi County Electric Cooperative; Paul Garrison and Ben Leslie of North Arkansas Electric Cooperative; Tom Henderson and Steve Rooney of Petit Jean Electric Cooperative; and Danny Flowers and Nikia Jacobs of Woodruff Electric Cooperative. Doug Evans, safety manager for Arkansas Electric Cooperatives Inc., also assisted the crew during the trip.

I understand the concept of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, but I am having a really hard time understanding how this concept of quotients applies to vector spaces. Suppose $V = \mathbb{F}[x]$ is a vector space and $U \le V$. What exactly does $V/U$ represent?

The way I think about quotient spaces (or quotient algebraic structures in general) is as an identification of things which differ by some subspace/subgroup/subring/... of the original structure. Then the quotient space (resp. algebraic structure) can be thought of as what you get when you squash the subspace (resp. substructure) to a point and extend to the rest of the space (resp. structure).
To illustrate this, with $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, we identify integers which differ by a multiple of $n$. What we do is squash $n\mathbb{Z}$ to a point, namely $0$, and this extends to the rest of the space by squashing $a+n\mathbb{Z}$ to $a$ for $0 \le a < n$. Then the operations of addition and so on are inherited naturally from the quotient operation.
As another example, with $\mathbb{R}^2/\langle (1,1) \rangle$ we identify things which lie on the same line lying at $45^{\circ}$ to the (positive) horizontal, i.e. we identify vectors which differ by some scalar multiple of the vector $(1,1)$. We can visualise this as contracting $\langle (1,1) \rangle$ to a point, which when you extend linearly contracts $\mathbb{R}^2$ to a line through the origin, leaving you with $\langle (1,-1) \rangle$. (Imagine squashing the whole plane down towards the origin perpendicular to the line $\langle (1,1) \rangle$). Another perspective is that the 'points' in $\mathbb{R}^2/\langle (1,1) \rangle$ can be thought of as precisely the lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with gradient $1$.
More generally, if $V$ is a vector space and $U \le V$ is a subspace then you can think of $V/U$ as the space you get when you identify two elements $v, v' \in V$ if $v'=v+u$ for some $u \in U$. What it 'looks like' is what you get when you contract $U$ to a point and extend linearly to the rest of the space.
I hope this wasn't too waffly.
A vector space quotient is a very simple projection when viewed in an appropriate basis. Namely, any basis of the subspace U may be extended to a basis of the whole space V. Then modding out by U amounts to zeroing out the components of the basis corresponding to U, i.e. projecting onto the complementary subspace formed by all the other components.
For example, consider the vector space $\mathbb R^{\infty}$ of formal power series with real coefficients. Modding out by the subspace of odd series $\mathbb R[x,x^3,x^5,\ldots]$ corresponds to projecting onto the subspace of even power series $\mathbb R[1,x^2,x^4,\ldots]$ i.e. taking the even part of a power series (and vice versa). Combining the two yields the decomposition of a series as the sum of its even and odd parts.
Similarly, modding out by $\mathbb R[x,x^2,x^3,\cdots]$ corresponds to projecting onto the subspace of constant series $\mathbb R[1]$, i.e. "evaluating" at $x = 0$. Modding out by $\mathbb R[x^2,x^3,x^4,\ldots]$ corresponds to projecting onto the "tangent" space $\mathbb R[1,x]\:$ via $\:f(x)\mapsto f(0) + f'(0)\:x = $ first-order Taylor approximant.
What $V/U$ represents depends heavily on what $V$ and $U$ represent.
Anyways, since you mention $F[x]$, one classical example is $F = \mathbb{R}$ and $V$ = $\mathbb{R}[x]$, and $U = (1+x^2) V$. (i.e. all multiples if $(1 + x^2)$). Then $V/U \cong \mathbb{C}$, a two-dimensional real vector space. This usually comes up in the context of rings moreso than pure linear algebra, though.
In this case, it's clear what $U$ and $V$ represent; $V$ is meant to represent polynomials in a hypothetical square root of $-1$, and $U$ is meant to represent those polynomials that are intended to be zero.
I visualize the quotient space as a "foliation" of the space - think salad, but with rectilinear layers extending infinitely outwards - and in this case the layers of the foliation in $V/W$ are cosets of the subspace $W$. Geometrically, the cosets are just the space $W$ shifted in any of the directions normal to it. For example, a line that goes through the origin in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a subspace, to get the quotient we designate every line parallel to it in the plane as an element of the quotient, and we parametrize these layers by drawing a second, nonparallel line through the first at the origin, so that each point on the second line represents the layer it intersects in the plane. In order to add or scalar-multiply two layers, we simply do the associated vector operations on the subspace given by our second line!
You can do a similar geometry exercise in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with lines and planes. With higher dimensions or more abstract spaces, we don't always have the luxury of a directly visualizable illustration, but I find the idea that we're cutting a space up into salad layers helpful all the same.
Let's look at a simple example. I'll take $V = \mathbb{R^2} = \{(x,y): x,y \in \mathbb{R}\}$ and $U = \{(x,0): x \in \mathbb{R}\}$; i.e $U$ is the $x$-axis inside the plane. What is $V/U$? On an algebraic level, it's the vector space of cosets of $U$: i.e. I identify two points $(x,y)$ and $(x', y')$ if $(x,y) - (x',y') \in U$. In our context, this happens exactly when $y = y'$. So we are identifying all points that have a given $y$-coordinate, and addition of cosets $(x,y) + U$ is just adding the $y$-coordinates. While it might be tempting to identify $U$ with the $y$-axis, this is somewhat misleading, since this would lead you to think that the quotient space $V/U$ is a subspace of $V$, which it is not.

In the heart of Dublin, designers at a family-owned jewelry studio draw on the backdrop of their ancient city, founded in the 8th century, to create classic designs that incorporate classic Celtic motifs. These sterling silver and freshwater pearl accents feature a classic Celtic trinity knot, also called the triquetra. Found in ancient Celtic texts like the Book of Kells, it has also become a symbol of the Christian holy trinity. In Celtic tradition, it symbolizes strength and unitythe knot itself has no beginning or end. It can represent past, present, and future, or the stages of a woman's life according to Celtic lore: young woman, mother, and grandmother.
The trinity knot is an archetypal design that, for many people, helps them connect to their tribal rootsbe that an Irish or Scottish family background, spiritual beliefs both Christian and pagan, or simply a desire to connect with the world on an instinctual level.
This piece is created starting with the lost-wax casting technique. The design is carved by hand into a block of wax, around which a mold is formed. When the mold is fired, the wax melts away, leaving only the material for future casting in sterling silver. Next the bezel is cut and a pyramid-faceted gemstone is set, point side up. Last, the sterling silver is plated with 18k gold, giving a two-tone effect.

Men's Basketball Defeats Dartmouth 73-55
Princeton's 73-55 victory lifts the Tigers to 12-8 overall on the season and 5-1 in Ivy League play heading into a first-place showdown with Harvard tomorrow night. The Crimson were winners against Penn in Cambridge tonight, improving to 6-1 on the league slate. Dartmouth fell to 6-15 overall and 2-5 in the Ivy.
Denton Koon led Princeton with 18 points as one of four Tigers in double figures along with 14 from Ian Hummer, 12 from Hans Brase and 11 from Will Barrett.
Princeton had won by 16, 22, and 24 points in its three previous meetings at Dartmouth. Though the Big Green had the Tigers at a 19-19 tie midway through the first half, but Princeton responded with an 8-0 run and led by 14 at the half, 42-28.
The Tigers increased their lead to as much as 25 after halftime, reaching that zenith on a Chris Clement 3-pointer with less than six minutes to play. Dartmouth closed the contest on an 8-1 run, holding the Tigers without a field goal after that Clement 3-pointer.
Princeton was on target from the floor the whole game, outshooting Dartmouth 56.3 percent to 43.1 percent and outrebounding the Big Green 35-21.
Saturday's game at Harvard is set for 7 p.m. and will be televised on NBC Sports Network with Randy Moss and Dalen Cuff on the call. As always, it will be broadcast on WPRB 103.3 FM in the Princeton area and online at GoPrincetonTigers.com with Derek Jones handling play-by-play duties.
Postgame Notes
• Ian Hummer finished with 14 points, leaving him 17 away from becoming the program's fourth player with 1,500 points, now with 1,483.
• Princeton has won five straight at Dartmouth, with the Tigers' last loss here coming in 2008. A win on March 2 in Jadwin Gym would sweep the four-year series for the Tiger seniors.
• Princeton has won seven in a row against Dartmouth overall, with the Big Green's last win coming on Feb. 21, 2009 in Jadwin Gym.
• Princeton has won nine of its last 11 games since a 3-6 start.
• The Tigers have shot better than 50 percent from the field in five straight games.
• Princeton's 18-point win was its second-largest margin of victory over a Division I opponent this season. The Tigers beat Lafayette by 19 on Nov. 24.
• After not reaching double figures in eight of the first nine games, Denton Koon has scored 10-plus points in 10 of the last 11 and seven straight.
• Koon has shot better than 50 percent from the field in each of the last seven games.
• T.J. Bray has 13 assists and four turnovers over the last two games.
• Chris Clement's four points were his most since scoring five against Rutgers on Nov. 16.
• Will Barrett has reached double-figure points in back-to-back games and four of the last five.
• Hans Brase's 12 points marked his most points since scoring 14 against Bucknell on Dec. 22.
• Ian Hummer has 11 assists over the last two games, but he cut his turnovers down from seven last time out against Yale to just one against the Big Green tonight.
• Brendan Connolly has scored in four straight games for the first time since scoring in 10 straight from Nov. 16-Dec. 30, 2012.

Damian Ryan: UN aviation climate deal disappointing
- Date
- 06 September 2013
Damian Ryan our Senior Policy Manager, writes about the International Civil Aviation Organization's recent decision on sector mechanisms.
News that countries have reached a weak agreement for addressing emissions from international aviation through its UN body is a disappointing, but not surprising, outcome of several years of talks.
ETS plan reversed
At a council meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on September 4, countries agreed to develop full details of a market-based mechanism for the sector by 2016, which would come into effect in 2020. The agreement will also see the EU back away from its controversial decision to include international flights in its emissions trading scheme (ETS), which was put on hold in December 2012 pending progress in ICAO.
ICAO has had a mandate to deal with international aviation emissions since 1997 when the Kyoto Protocol 'invited' it to address the problem. Progress was limited, however, until the EU announced in 2007 that it intended to include the international aviation sector in its ETS. This unilateral proposal helped to spur activity but there has remained stubborn resistance to addressing emissions from both governments and industry.
Opposition from the US, India and China
US airlines, for example, have lobbied strongly against international action. Tight industry margins, an aging (and hence more polluting) fleet, plus the domestic political debate on climate change meant that the US government has never been an advocate of great ambition. The successful passing of legislation in 2012 forbidding US airlines from complying with the EU-ETS crowned the achievements of the US airline lobby.
The major emerging countries, notably India and China, have also opposed strong action. Their argument has been that the problem is one for developed countries to solve, citing the UNFCCC principle of 'common but differentiated responsibility' (CBDR). As India and China see it, richer countries should take the lead in tackling aviation emissions because they have the capacity to do so. Such reasoning conveniently ignores the fact that international aviation users, whether European, American, Chinese or Indian, almost invariably represent the world's economically well-off – individuals well placed to shoulder their climate impact.
Such rationality, however, hasn't cut much ice within the ICAO discussions. Political and negotiating strategies are far more important factors.
ICAO progress hindered
The reality for aviation is that progress in ICAO is inextricably tied to the wider UNFCCC climate negotiations. With the exception of the EU, no other countries have been prepared to concede or advance negotiating points in ICAO for fear of undermining wider national positions within the UNFCCC. This is especially true for India, China and others with respect to CBDR; conceding that emerging economies airlines should be treated the same as developed country ones for climate purposes (even though this is the case for all other aviation issues), is seen as the start of a slippery slope.
So, as UN talks have waxed and waned, so too have efforts within ICAO. With the UN climate negotiations now locked into a new process with firm 2015 and 2020 deadlines for concluding and ratifying a new global treaty respectively, the timeline for ICAO action has duly fallen into step.
Moving goalposts for the EU
For the EU, this is, on the face of it, a considerable climb down from the ambition that they have previously championed. Not only do they have to wait until 2020 for a global deal that they've wanted for years, but they have also had to concede that any action of their own in the meantime must be limited to EU airspace. There is a lesson here perhaps of diplomatic overreach. Equally, it is possible that without the bullish efforts by the EU over the past six years or more, ICAO and the rest of the international community would still be ignoring the problem. For this at least the EU deserves a note of thanks.
The airline industry, however, will no doubt be relieved by the overall outcome. Although a number of airlines had called for earlier and more ambitious action – notably those belonging to the Aviation Global Deal Group, such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific and others – the industry as a whole settled on a relatively unambitious 'carbon neutral growth' target for 2020. The deal agreed in ICAO is thus likely to fit in well with the industry's plans and views.
The real loser in all of this is of course the climate. Carbon dioxide emissions from the international aviation represent about 2% of total global emissions. If the sector were a country it would be the 7th largest polluter. In addition, non-CO2 greenhouse gases are also emitted by aircraft, which scientists believe add significantly to aviation's overall climate impact. Delaying action on international aviation is not therefore a trivial matter. Unfortunately, for the moment, many governments still seem to consider that it is.

Moses gave the Jews the Law,
Jesus gave the world grace.
You can choose to follow either,
It has nothing to do with race.
The Ten Commandments has been accepted,
As a way of life.
In spite of your best intentions,
They only produce worry and strife.
If you fail in one of the do not's,
You are guilty of all of them. *
But grace was freely given,
When Jesus died on that limb.
Jesus said there are only two;
Love the father with heart, soul and mind.
And love your neighbor as thy self, **
Then God's love for you, you will find.

Reviews for Sausage & Chicken Kabobs
"I like the addition of the sausage; however the potatoes were very bland. Would have been better in some marinade. Also, the chicken marinade seemed to lack flavor also. But fresh pineapple all the way. It's really no trouble to cut to make the kabobs extra special."
"Very simple, but very delicious. The marinade is delicious!"
"Everyone loved this recipe. I use the potatoe cooking a lot anytime I want to grill veggies with new potatoes they turn out perfect. The potatoes and veggies get done without being burnt."
"Really enjoyed these kabobs, the marinade had just the right flavor. I needed to cook my potatoes a little longer, will make this again."
"I had decided to make this on a cold day, and so didn't want to make it on the outside grill. I tried the George Foreman, altered the cook times and it was amazing. I also used the canned chunks of pineapple. I will definitely make this again, either on or off the outdoor grill. Either way it was great !"

Tu Phan, a senior from Centennial, Colorado, who is majoring in advertising and linguistics, shares his experiences with internships and student activities.
Where have you interned and what did you do?
Last summer I was an art director intern at BBDO in San Francisco, the world's most awarded advertising agency. My job was to come up with ideas for advertising concepts for digital, print and TV mediums. It was a great experience; I got to work on global brands like Visa, HP and Mars.
What did you do as an intern at the Community Foundation of Boulder County?
It is, in effect, a community trust. Locals give them money like a community bank and then the foundation gives it back to the community. I was a program intern, so I helped with planning and executing when grants came in and I got to see how money is invested. You don't realize how special Boulder is until you get involved in the community government and entrepreneurial scene.
What was your favorite part about interning?
They have focused me on what I want to do with my life. Internships are an exploratory process that have helped me find what I like and what I don't. My internship last summer at BBDO felt more like fun than work, even though we worked really long days. When you find a career you are passionate about, it is a sense of relief and you can go full steam ahead—that's the beauty of internships and college.
What else are you involved in as a student?
In college you are creatively free. I am really involved with the Technology Arts and Media (TAM) program on campus. I love being in that collaborative and creative environment. You are not working for a client, so you can do what you want within your major.
I am in Presidents Leadership Class (PLC), which has been really great. It is automatically a 50-person family as soon as you enter school. PLC helped define my underclassman years; the people I was with always pushed me to succeed.
I was also involved with the Colorado Engineer, which is a student-run, faculty-advised magazine that is based in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. We published full, professional-quality magazines quarterly. I acted as the managing editor and led the publication redesign and launch of its web presence.
What has your classroom experience been like?
I remember being a timid freshman who was terrified of (faculty) office hours, but as I started going to office hours, my experience in class felt less like a class and more of an open discussion where you get to interact with peers on a critical level.
It is inspiring to see how much attention is focused on student-to-professor and peer-to-peer interactions across all of the colleges on the CU-Boulder campus.

Why do we do this?Water security is one of the great challenges of the 21st century.
It goes to the heart of biodiversity conservation, food and energy supply, climate change adaptation, poverty reduction and conflict mitigation.
The WWF is run at a local level by the following offices...
Freshwater is the source of life. It's what makes Earth unique in the known universe. It's also a resource under threat. Just 3 per cent of water on the planet is freshwater, and only about 1 per cent is readily available for human use.
The one-two punch of global population growth and climate change means we must be innovative and committed when it comes to water management and conservation.
WWF is working to protect freshwater ecosystems and improve water access, efficiency, and allocation for people and the environment – an essential component of saving most of WWF's priority places and species and reducing the impact of humanity's water footprint.

Veteran sideline reporter Michele Tafoya is leaving ESPN after 11 years with the company and joining NBC, reports John Ourand of SportsBusiness Journal.
According to the report, Michele Tafoya and ESPN were working on negotiating a three-year option in her deal, signed in 2008, but apparently the sides could not come to an agreement and ended talks.
Michele Tafoya has been with ESPN since 2000. Prior to joining the network, she worked for CBS Sports where she became the first woman to call television play-by-play for an NCAA tournament game.
This is a good get for NBC. Tafoya is a true talent and always handled herself with poise — especially after Jim Harbaugh gave Michele Tafoya the cold shoulder during an Orange Bowl interview.

A contribution to the UN Commission for Sustainable Development?s Compilation Document serving as the basis for preparing the zero draft of the outcome document of Rio 2012 Earth Summit Frans C. Verhagen, M.Div., M.I.A., Ph.D., sustainability sociologist International Institute of Monetary Transformation, www.timun.net; firstname.lastname@example.com Representing the International Peace Research Association at UN Headquarters http://ipra-peace.com/index.html New York City October 28, 2011 ?As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man, who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.? Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1890s INTRODUCTION A main theme of Tierra Fee & Dividend (TFD) system, following Emerson?s observation, is the need to first search for principles before searching for methods. One of the main shortcomings in UN conferences and negotiations seems to be a basic lack of interest, unwillingness, or inability in dealing in a substantial and coherent way with the ethical dimension of the various global challenges the UN and the world community face. Thus, the main premise of the TFD system is that no stability in the monetary, financial, economic and commercial systems is possible without the principles of equity and sustainability. Underlying the principle of monetary sustainability is the principle of monetary justice not only in its social, ecological and procedural meanings, but especially in its transformational meaning as the foundation of a carbon-based international monetary system. Monetary justice is proposed here to be the main guiding principle that unifies many other important principles as spelled out in the recent Bonn DPI/NGO Declaration. Monetary justice is proposed here to function as the organizing principle for the much discussed integration of the three pillars of sustainable development as called for by the UN SG Report of December 2010 and in various DESA Reports. Consequently, monetary justice is presented as the guiding principle for sustainable global governance or, in Rio 2012 terms, as the guiding principle for the development of a global institutional framework that can lead to green economies and low-carbon and climate resilient development. The world over millions of people are demonstrating and protesting in various Occupy settings the gross inequality between people and demand basic overhaul of the monetary, financial, economic and commercial systems, because these systems do not work for the 99% of them as these systems continue to enrich the few, impoverish the many and imperil the planet. It is most important that government, business and civil society leaders in the Rio process respond to this demand for fundamental and transformational change. The TFD system is presented as a transformational pathway of an integrated solution to a non-working international monetary system, an increasing global threat of catastrophic climate change and an unsustainable model of development. WHAT IS MONETARY JUSTICE? International monetary justice is the application of social, environmental, procedural and intergenerational justice principles to the international monetary system with its volatile exchange rates, imbalances in the balance of payments, fluctuating national and reserve currencies and an expensive global reserve system that costs non-reserve currency nations hundreds of billions annually. These justice principles also apply to domestic or regional monetary policies, which, in this globalizing world, are ever more intertwined as has become very apparent in the upheavals in the euro-zone countries. There is little social monetary justice in the present international monetary system because this most basic system supports financial, economic and commercial systems that enrich the few and impoverish the many. Because of an unnecessary global reserve system, developing countries pay about $100 billion annually to maintain a 3 or 4 month supply of hard currencies. Nobel Economics laureate Robert Mundell has called this monetary system a ?non-system? and ?criminal.? There is also little environmental or climate justice in the international monetary system because it imperils the planet?s climate and other Earth?s services by supporting those other international systems that continue to cause environmental damage, particularly climate damage. There is also little procedural justice in the international monetary system because the major decisions are controlled by the industrialized nations using the rules of the IMF, Bank of International Settlements, World Bank and the World Trade Organization to set monetary rules of the road. One of the major reasons for both the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Great Contraction at the end of last decade is the instability of the international monetary system due to the lack procedural justice where rules of the road were and are presently set within a context of great inequality. There is also little intergenerational justice in the international monetary system because the present international monetary leadership thinks short-term and is unable to take the hard decisions for fundamental reform. The recent euro agreements are more stopgap measures than measures of monetary craft for the common well-being of present and future generations. In conclusion: Without monetary justice no monetary stability and sustainability is possible. MONETARY JUSTICE IS IMPORTANT AND POSSIBLE The international monetary system is the foundation upon which the other international systems rest. It functions as glue according to monetary historian Eichengreen, binding the monetary, financial, economic and commercial systems together. Pope Pius XI pointed to the lending of money as the life blood of the economic system?another metaphor indicating the connectedness of the monetary system with the economic system. However, the present international system is inequitable and, therefore, unstable and unsustainable. Monetary justice in its transformational sense of unifying the various forms of justice is necessary to transform it. Needed for this transformed international monetary system is a plan that would lead to a financial system that is credit- rather than debt-based and that would be democratically governed by a Global Central Bank. The Chicago Plan of the 1930s was proposed by many outstanding economists to deal with the Great Depression. It withdrew the privilege of fractional reserve banking by privately-owned banks, making them utilities without the privilege of creating money. Monetary justice in its transformational meaning demands realigning the inequality in the monetary system by the adoption of a standard, not a gold standard but a carbon standard that introduces fixed exchange rates and currencies, reduces volatility, affords little opportunity for currency manipulation and speculation and removes the need for a costly global reserve system. Such carbon-based international monetary system is possible if government, business and civil society and particularly their leaders are able to think outside the box. Such thinking is demonstrated by Maurice Strong who believes that basing the international monetary system on a carbon standard is ?innovative? and that such system ?seems to be very promising particularly in light of the stalemate in post-Kyoto prospects?.(October 8, 2011 email); by author Bill McKibben, leader of the global www.350.org who believes a carbon-based international monetary system ?deserves careful attention? in these times where politics and biology increasingly intersect and demand a global solution; by those who signed an international petition entitled ?Make monetary justice the basis of your Rio negotiations? at http://www.change.org/petitions/g20-and-rio-summitteers-make-monetary-justice-the-basis-of-your-negotiations MONETARY JUSTICE AND THE 21st CENTURY CARBON MONETARY STANDARD Proposals for monetary reform, not monetary transformation, suggest moving away from the US dollar as reserve and vehicle currency to a basket of currencies, a particular set of commodities or the IMF?s Special Drawing Right (SDR). A carbon-based international reserve currency could even be a possible alternative. However, all these reforms make an ineffective system a little less ineffective. Others want to return to a gold standard. This standard, never perfect in the past, has rigidity and liquidity problems. Moreover, given the expanding global economy, there would not be enough gold to meet the needs of all. The International Institute of Monetary Transformation has developed a carbon-based monetary standard with the Tierra as its unit of account. It is set to a specific ton of CO2e per person, determined by the GHG emission targets set by the IPCC. It is based upon the assumption that the control of the changing climate is humanity?s foremost challenge in the 21st century and that climate justice is an essential value in redressing the ecological imbalance caused by the ecological indebtedness of industrialized nations. This standard would transform the international monetary system and go beyond the suggested monetary reforms. This transformed, i.e. carbon-based, international monetary system is integrated with the Fee & Dividend carbon reduction method as opposed to the cap-and-trade and other carbon reduction methods. Thus, the system is called the Tierra Fee & Dividend system (TFD). The main aim of the TFD is to introduce a just, stable and sustainable international monetary system, to combat the climate crisis and to advance low carbon, climate-resilient development. Adopting the TFD with its carbon-based monetary standard would mean fixed exchange rates and stable currencies which would be convertible to each other because they are all based upon the same standard. That standard could also become the basis of the global currency of the Tierra. No longer would a costly global reserve system be necessary. Adopting the TFD with its carbon-based monetary standard would also mean an institutionalized transfer of funds from carbon debtor nations in the global North to the carbon creditor nations in the global South. Thus, carbon accounts would be settled in the nations? balance of payments. Adopting the TFD with its carbon-based monetary standard means the establishment of the Tierra, UN affiliated, federally structured Global Central Bank with its administering, monitoring, regulating and money creating functions. This global bank would be the centerpiece of the global governance framework that is one of the two main topics of the Rio 2012 process. Note that the notion of a carbon-based international monetary system such as the TFD is new and novel or, in Mr. Strong?s terms, ?innovative?. The other two components of the TFD, i.e. banks being utilities and an international financial system being credit-based rather than debt-based are positions that are increasingly being advocated, following the example of the supporters of the Chicago Plan of the 1930s. Major references to the TFD are: IIMT?s forthcoming book entitled THE TIERRA SOLUTION: Monetary Transformation, Climate Change and Sustainable Development. (Cosimo Books January 2012); articles for the 2nd Yale/UNITAR conference on Global Environmental Governance (September 17-9, 2010), for the Stakeholder Forum?s Sustainable Development Governance program; Powerpoint presentations at the IPRA Conference in Sydney, Australia in July 2011, at the UNFCCC Cancun Conference in December 2011, and the upcoming ones at the CoNGO Sustainable Development Committee and at the Riverside Church conference called ?Monetary Justice: The Guiding Principle for Global Governance?? which, beside the UK Christian Council for Monetary Justice at http://www.ccmj.org would be the first US religious organization that engages in monetary justice discussions as basis of global governance The following table presents a comparison along some dozen features that illustrates the basic differences between the present IMF international monetary system and the proposed carbon based Tierra global monetary governance system.

"I made this twice. The first time, it was pretty bland without a lot of flavor. I liked it OK, but my husband wasn't a fan. I only made it the second time because it was something quick and easy with ingredients I had on hand. I did have to add quite a bit of extra seasonings. I probably won't make it again."

Wanker of the Week (Ravens edition)
Posted by David Kennedy
The play continued. The time has come. The empty jersey shown here represents Henne - its almost like he's not there at all.
The guy had an abysmal performance against the Ravens, with many poorly thrown balls, and 3 picks. They are going to win NOTHING with him as the QB.
Coaches, please sit Henne and lets see what Thigpen has for now. It may turn out that he's okay, or maybe not.
And then in the draft, please go out and get us a QB.
I see no upside in Pennington right now, so I'd rather he remain as the backup.
Say it with me: Chad Henne you are a wanker.

|Volleyball takes down Seattle
MOSCOW - The Idaho volleyball team notched its 10th Western Athletic Conference win of the year Saturday night with a 25-16, 25-17, 12-25, 25-19 victory over Seattle U in Memorial Gym
Idaho improves to 12-13 overall, while Seattle U drops to 7-18 and 2-13 in the WAC.
The Vandals dominated the first two games, hitting .382 with 15 kills and just two errors in their 25-16 win in game one, before holding Seattle U to -.071 hitting percentage to win game two. The third game, however, was a different story. Seattle U hit .500 with just one hitting error and jumped out to a 10-1 lead, taking the Vandals out of it from the start.
"Besides game three it was a good match," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "The girls came out with some intensity and we were able to pull it off, minus that game three. The good news is we came back to win the match. They played with some composure and it's an important lesson to be able to do that. Let's just hope we don't continue to put ourselves in those positions."
Idaho junior Allison (Walker) Baker hit a season-high .390 in the match, finishing with 19 kills and three errors on 41 attempts, and notched her WAC-leading 17th double-double of the season by adding 12 digs. Sophomore Alyssa Schultz had seven kills and matched her career-high with nine total blocks. Senior Julia Church added a season-high seven blocks and three kills for Idaho. Junior Ashley Christman had seven kills while hitting .333 and senior Alex Sele added six kills and a block.
Jenny Feicht finished with 23 assists and seven digs for Idaho, and senior Ryann Carter had 17 assists and two digs. Senior Janelle Chow had a team-high 18 digs and delivered two of Idaho's four aces.
"It felt really good, especially the first two games," Chow said of Idaho's performance. "We passed really well and hit really well and just played as a team."
The Vandals hit .221 as a team, with 45 kills and 15 errors on 136 attempts. Seattle U hit .168 in the match with 47 kills and 25 errors on 131 attempts. Idaho out-blocked the Redhawks 12.0-4.0, while Seattle U owned a 67-50 advantage in digs.
Saturday's win was Idaho's 248th win in Memorial Gym and the program's 699th win overall. The Vandals have a chance to reach their 250th home win and 700th win next week, as they host Louisiana Tech on Nov. 8 and UT Arlington on Nov. 10 in their final two home matches of the season. Saturday's match against UT Arlington will be senior night for Idaho's five seniors.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
GE Healthcare and Dyax entered a licensing agreement for the development and commercialization of peptides binding to c-Met. The license includes application of the peptides in PET, single proton emission computed tomography, and optical imaging. The deal provides up-front, milestone, and royalty payments to Dyax.
Research of potential diagnostic applications and use as a patient selection biomarker in oncology will be explored by GE Healthcare in collaboration with academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. Focus will be on colorectal, lung, and liver cancers.
"Growth factor receptors such as c-Met are promising therapeutic targets that could be a critical factor in the development of colorectal, lung, and liver oncology drugs," says Marivi Mendizabal, head of research, GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics. "As in vivo imaging technologies become increasingly important in oncology drug development, our vision is that we will be able to rapidly develop new targeted molecular diagnostics, not just for our own clinical portfolio but as companion diagnostic offerings for our strategic biopharmaceutical partnerships."
Gustav Christensen, president and CEO at Dyax, notes, "This agreement validates the strength of Dyax' core phage display library technology to support GE Healthcare's work to aid the development of cutting-edge treatment options for patients. With 18 Dyax-derived antibody or peptide programs currently in human clinical trials, we continue to demonstrate the utility of Dyax' proven and highly successful engine to power both therapeutic and diagnostic development."
Dyax phage display technology selects compounds that bind with high affinity and specificity to therapeutic targets. Dyax leverages this technology broadly through the Licensing and Funded Research Program (LFRP). The company says that it has over 70 revenue-generating licenses and collaborations for therapeutic discovery as well as for affinity separations, diagnostic imaging, and research reagents. This includes 18 candidates in clinical development, four of which are in Phase III trials, four in Phase II, and 10 are in Phase I.

This was actually really easy and tasted great. The texture was pretty soggy, my guess is that's from the zucchini so I think I'll improvise next time. My boyfriend took leftovers to his work for lunch and he had two people ask him for the recipe when he heated it in the microwave and they smelled it. Yummy.

Bintliff Wins Thriller, Gibbons Wins 20th, In Wrestling Loss At Penn
In his final Ivy League dual match, senior Zach Bintliff rallied late for a 6-4 win over Andrew Lenzi for one of two Tiger wins in a 31-8 team win for the 23rd-ranked Penn Quakers. Both Bintliff and freshman Scott Gibbons earned wins over the Quakers in the final road match of the regular season.
Bintliff and the rest of the Class of 2013 will be honored Sunday afternoon at Senior Day when the Tigers host Boston University at 1 pm in Dillon Gym.
The nationally ranked Quakers took control of the team match early, but Princeton gave its fans some excitement at 149. Bintliff, a two-time EIWA placewinner, was locked in a tight battle with Lenzi, who led 4-2 entering the third period. After a pair of scrambles that led to stalemate calls, Bintliff was left with 30 seconds remaining and down two points.
With urgency on his side, he took Lenzi down and got him on his back for two near-fall points. While Lenzi was able to avoid a fall, Bintliff tightened his control and rode him the rest of the period for the 6-4 victory.
Princeton's only other victory of the day came at 184, when Gibbons took total control of Mike Steltenkamp in a 16-0 technical fall. The win was No. 20 for the Tiger freshman, one of five members of the Class of 2016 to start for Princeton Saturday afternoon.
Bintliff would love nothing more than to grab his 20th win of the season when he leads the Tigers against Boston University, which brought a 7-9 record into the weekend.
