Kathy Freston wasn't born a vegan. The bestselling author and renowned wellness expert actually grew up on chicken-fried steak and cheesy grits, and loved nothing more than BBQ ribs and vanilla milkshakes. Not until her thirties did she embrace the lifestyle of a veganist--someone who eats a plant-based diet not just for their own personal well-being, but for the whole web of benefits it brings to our ecosystem and beyond. Kathy's shift toward this new life was gradual--she leaned into it--but the impact was profound. Now Kathy shows us how to lean into the veganist life. Effortless weight loss, reversal of disease, environmental responsibility, spiritual awakening--these are just a few of the ten profound changes that can be achieved through a gentle switch in food choices. Filled with compelling facts, stories of people who have improved their weight and health conditions as a result of making the switch, and Q&As with the leading medical researchers, Veganist concludes with a step-by-step practical guide to becoming a veganist...easily and gradually. It is an accessible, optimistic, and illuminating book that will change the way you eat forever. No less delicious, still hearty and satisfying--just better for you and for all.

Release Date: 2009-05-15
Genre: Comedy,
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 53min
A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisato's job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And, Daisato has his own problems--an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, "Big Man Japan" is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic but truly unique hero.

How to I explain how to hypnotize someone? First we must understand what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is not what many people think it is. A hypnotic trance is not a brain-dead, obey-all zombification during which you are completely unaware of your surroundings. Hypnosis does not usually induce a deep catatonic state, although with enough patience and the right subject, it can create an analog catatonia.
When someone is on a stage pretending to eat their own shoe or be chased by a wildergoat, they are aware they are on a stage. Likewise if they are in a hypnotherapist's office being asked to picture themselves as a child, they know they are only picturing it. They will not confuse it with reality, thinking they are actually a child. They will feel like the child, act like the child, but they will know they have been hypnotized and are sitting on a hypnotherapist's couch.
Hypnosis is best thought of as a special state of mind which is very relaxed, cerebral, and above all suggestible. When you are in a state of hypnosis or hypnotic trance, you have a strong sense of ability to control your own brain, which is why it marries up with NLP so closely.
These rules are adapted from Derren Brown's excellent guidelines to hypnosis. As one of the greatest hypnosis experts alive today, Derren is a great role model to follow and I feel it necessary to point these rules out.
Your subject should be in a comfortable, reclined position. This could be a comfortable armchair, couch, or some beanbags on the floor. The subject needs to be someone who trusts you, hypnosis simply will not work on someone who does not trust their hypnotizer. Finally, make sure there are no expected guests or interruptions. Phones off.
Quickly, in the next two seconds, try to eat whatever you can find, no not that! Jeez! Is it true that French houses have more ceilings than they have floors? Bang, you're now in a suggestible state.
Confusion is a wonderful catalyst for suggestion, so before we hypnotise our subject, we need to confuse them or shock them a little bit. This confusion and shock will scramble the brain and render them more suggestible. More specifically, the subject's prefrontal cortex becomes too occupied with trying to comprehend the confusing message and reason with the shock to filter out the suggestions as "optional". The suggestions will go straight to the subconscious, where they will be followed.
The shock does not have to be severe - all you need to do is to look your subject in the eye and touch them lightly on the arm as you tell them your slightly confusing message. It is also good to lean a little bit too close while you do your priming. I use a mixture of bad grammar, keywords and reassuring suggestions.
All hypnosis can be remembered clearly afterwards, safe just like normal memories they will be easy to recall. You'll imagine yourself in your mind's eye and it will get vivid. You will be able to exit the hypnosis any time you want, but you probably won't want to because it's quite fun. You'll see the relax and vivid pictures in your imagination but you don't worry about that now! If I say something you don't understand, just relax and go with the flow. I will bring you back in about half an hour, so treat it as a relaxation tool and sink into your seat. It's quite a good time to just fire up your imagination, so let's start.
Here is a quick script you can read to your subject. It basically goes over the induction, you should modify it to suit your subject and your surroundings. Read in a calm, clear voice.
Sit back and relax. Place your hands comfortably at your sides. Allow my words to just wash over you as suggestions are placed you find yourself following them. Everything here is safe and peaceful and as you feel your body becoming more and more relaxed you find you can shift your relaxation to your eyes. With your eyes alone, gently look upwards and as you notice your eyelids feeling slightly heavier, you allow your body to sink down comfortably into the chair. As your eyes slowly grow heavier, you can allow them to close. As you breathe, let your body numb and relax deeper into the chair. As you feel your body relaxing, so it becomes more numb and eventually the comfortable relaxation drifts up into your shoulders. As you feel your legs wanting to let go, let them go deep and relaxed into the chair, and your feet deflate deep into the floor. The relaxation makes its way up your neck and as it does, a peaceful, warm electricity shoots tingles down into your armpits and shoots down your arms into your fingers, as if warm sparks are dancing on the tips of your fingers. Allow the relaxed state to climb further up your neck and into your head, getting closer and closer to the very center of your consciousness. Allow your mind to go sleepier and sleepier until you are perfectly relaxed.
In your mind's eye, imagine you're standing at the top of a staircase of ten stairs, with a door at the bottom of it. As we count down from ten, with each count you'll take a step and become more and more relaxed, blissfully deeper and deeper into this trance, ten. As you feel your body becoming more and more relaxed you step down again, nine. Because your body is feeling so relaxed right now it is almost impossible to perceive, eight. As you begin to notice that your body is almost completely numb, you can now forget about your body and step down seven. Deeper and deeper into the relaxed, peaceful, comfortable state, six. The stairway becomes more and more vivid as you become more relaxed, five. As you descend your inner staircase, you start to notice how the stairs may feel against your feet, four. Deeper and deeper into this relaxed, super-comfortable trance, three. More and more comfortable, more and more relaxed, two. Relaxed peaceful trance, one. Open the door and your body goes to SLEEP and your mind wakes up.
It is very simple to get someone out of a hypnotic trance.
Now it's time to come back. Return to the door with the stairs. You're going to walk back up the ten stairs back into normality. When you wake you will feel very refreshed from having been in such a relaxed state. One, you start feeling your body again. Two, starting to wake up now. Three, energy is rushing into your muscles. Four, you are feeling rejuvenated. Five, more energy, six, waking up now. Seven, you're feeling so refreshed you'll just run up the last three steps eight nine ten wide awake!
It is a good idea to ask your subject for feedback so you can make improvements to your own hypnosis skill. The more times you hypnotise someone, the better you get. Don't worry if you cannot get it to work on your first try. Keep working at it and soon you'll be able to really get the hang of what works and what doesn't.

Mike, thanks for your comments on draft-ietf-bridge-bridgemib-smiv2-03.txt. I shall try to respond to your first issue on dot1dStpPortEnable. > 1) dot1dStpPortEnable > I believe there needs to be some text added to the front matter > to describe the relationship between ifAdminStatus and dot1dStpPortEnable. > What is the relationship between ifAdminStatus and dot1dStpPortEnable? > a) none, > b) represent same value (as embodied in cisco catalyst implementation) > c) represent different layers (port level, vs protocol level) (kzm expectation?) > > background info: http://www.macfaden.com/ietf/bridge-test-results.txt When you raised this before, there did not seem to be a consenus for a definition that would satisfy everyone. One of the original authors of RFC1493, Anil Rijsinghani, indicated that c) was the correct answer, but did not elaborate on how this affects things like handling of STP BPDUs, or forwarding of traffic. My own interpretation is as follows: If dot1dStpPortEnable is set to enabled(1) the port should participate normally in Spanning Tree and in forwarding traffic. If dot1dStpPortEnable is set to disabled(2) the port should not participate in Spanning Tree, received BPDUs should be discarded, and the port should not participate in Layer 2 forwarding of traffic, although it may participate in Layer 3 forwarding.(Continue reading)

Obstructive sleep disorders, including snoring and sleep apnea, are caused by anatomical obstructions of the airway. Airway obstruction can occur as a result of nasal congestion, swelling, decreased tissue tone, lax musculature, enlarged tongue or tonsils, elongated soft palate, increased body fat and posterior posturing of the jaw.
While not causing any known medical condition, snoring can be very irritating and disruptive to the sleep partner. As air is inhaled or exhaled, the throat structures vibrate, producing a noise recognized as snoring.
Sleep apnea is the more severe form of obstructive sleep disorder. Individuals with sleep apnea actually stop breathing for a period of at least 10 seconds, and then suddenly resume breathing again (often with a gasp.) This pattern may repeat itself several times an hour. Significant disruptions in respiration cause blood oxygen levels to dip and may result in sleep deprivation, daytime fatigue and cardiovascular illness.
We diagnose sleep apnea through the use of:
Overnight studies — polysomnography (PSG)
Sleep apnea can be treated through:

Blizzard recently told us of one change that is currently on the PTR, and that is:
- The Honor Commodities and Justice Commodities Vendors now sell raw tradeskill materials. These are not intended to be a cost-effective source of these materials, but an option for players with lots of Justice or Honor Points who have already purchased all of the gear that interests them.
This could be a HUGE gold making Opportunity, if you're one of the firsts to sell whatever Blizzard has in mind, you could make thousands upon thousands on gold in an hour or even less. I personally have 3800 Justice Points just waiting to spend ( my mage is already decked out in gear ). I'm thinking Blizzard with add another Frozo The Renowned type of vendor, only this time the currency that is being traded are Justice Points and Honor Points. Either way this little addition to the game will heavily affect the prices of the items that you will be able to obtain.
This is one of the biggest and most interesting change since Cataclysm has hit. I wonder what type of items blizzard is going to allow you to buy with Honor & Justice Points, What are your thoughts?

Choosing a restaurant while traveling can be one of the most exciting parts of exploring a new corner of the world . . . but it can also be the most stressful! After years of traveling and many "hits" and many "misses" with restaurants, my husband and I developed a few simple rules when choosing restaurants while traveling. We have passed these little tips on to friends visiting us in Barcelona and Italy, and have always been thanked for doing so. I now pass this humble list on to my internet friends. Happy and safe travels, and happy eating!
Tips for choosing an authentic restaurant while traveling
1. Research . . . but not in the way you might think
Before traveling to a new place, research not where to eat, but what to eat. Knowing the region's specialties will guide you when making meal choices. Additionally, Yelp and other review sites can be incredibly helpful, but they can also be detrimental to finding an authentic experience. Remember that many of these reviewers are tourists, just like you, and although they and 50 other reviewers might have had a great meal, their five stars do not necessarily equate to an authentic meal.
2. Menus tell you about a whole lot more than the food
As a general rule, avoid menus written in many languages, and restaurants that use sandwich boards to advertise that they "speak English." Although it is of course helpful for restaurants to have their menus in English, a laminated menu with flags of many countries is, in itself, a red flag.
While on the subject of sandwich boards: real chalkboards displaying menus that change daily are a great sign; fake chalkboards (they exist, I swear) are generally a sign of a lack of authenticity.
3. Take note of fellow diners
Are they speaking the language? Do they look like locals? Awesome. Eat there.
Are there a bunch of local, elderly men hanging around? Eat there. The elderly know what's up. This rule never fails.
4. Take note of the staff
Another rule as unbending as number three? Avoid restaurants with a host or hostess paid to stand outside and lure you in. If the food is good, a restaurant does not need this. Period.
5. Don't be afraid to walk one more street
You're hungry, you just want to sit down, you're getting to that point where you would eat just about anything . . . but don't give up searching for a place that is THE restaurant for lunch, and don't give in and settle for restaurants that do not follow the above-mentioned rules. Every time we have nearly done this, we have told ourselves to walk "one more street." Turn away from the direction the tourists are headed, and get a little lost. You never know what hidden gem you will find.

Alphonso Johnson: Balls to the Wall
Balls to the Wall
Alphonso Johnson (electric bass)
Yesterday's Dreams (SMM 518 995 2)
Alphonso Johnson (electric bass),
Patrice Rushen (electric piano, clavinet), Ian Underwood (synthesizers), Ray Gomez (guitars), Chester Thompson (drums), Sheila Escovedo (congas).
Composed by Alphonso Johnson.
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, 1976
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
In the course of putting together for jazz.com readers the most complete and detailed jazz-fusion track review archive available anywhere, I have the opportunity to revisit music I may have long forgotten, dismissed or simply missed the first time around. Sometimes my mind is changed by a new listen three decades removed from the times.
I was well aware of the outstanding bassist Alphonso Johnson from his stints with Weather Report and The One Truth Band. But for some reason I never sought out any of his solo material. Until several moments ago I had never heard 1976's Yesterday's Dreams. I must say that there is some God-awful music on this album. It really pains me to say that. To be fair my criticism is mostly based on the fact that Johnson was clearly trying to cross over into pop music terrain. The resulting vocals are cloying. This was sort of thing that eventually killed the fusion movement. I am still bitter about this, so my disgust should be seen in that light. What made these "sell-out" attempts all the more disappointing was that musicians such as Johnson could really play. In a strange way, some of these musicians would play it safe by including a few "good" fusion numbers on these crossover albums. This was bad judgment. The fusion fans couldn't sit through the obnoxious pop music, and the pop music fans couldn't take the fusion. It was a lose-lose proposition.
It is a good thing that jazz.com uniquely reviews individual cuts. This allows us to point out the great tunes so that you can still legally download an important cut and not waste your time and money on the dreck. Yesterday's Dreams, for example, has two stellar fusion numbers: "Balls to the Wall" is one, and "Flight to Hampstead Heath" is the other. The title "Balls to the Wall" pretty much says it all about this testosterone workout. (Though interestingly there are two women in the band.) The tune starts with the heavy riffing of distorted bass and guitar brought to you with pride by Johnson and Ray Gomez. This is overtaken by some spatial "space junk," as they used to say. Johnson runs his bass through some sort of effects processor. His solo confirms he was one of the best players of the genre. Drummer Chester Thompson propels the piece forward. Gomez, an underrated figure in jazz-rock's history, blazes away. The tune aims skyward. In some ways it is reminiscent of Billy Cobham's historic Spectrum. This material is full of "balls out" vitality. If only the rest of the album had been like this. Ugh.

Frank Sinatra: Heart of Mine
Heart of Mine
Frank Sinatra (vocals)
Sinatra in Hollywood: 1940-1964 (Reprise/Warner Bros.)
Frank Sinatra (vocals),
and orchestra arranged and conducted by Jerry Fielding.
Composed by Jerry Fielding and Ned Washington.
Recorded: September 18, 1961
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
This touching ballad is considered by many to be the Sinatra song that never was. Absent from even the most comprehensive discographies, the tune was recorded by Sinatra only once—for the 1962 Otto Preminger film, Advise and Consent. Sinatra deep-sixed the recording after the tune was used in the controversial movie as mood music for a scene in a gay bar. What makes this ballad so endearing is its haunting melody and Sinatra's wide-open vulnerability, which can be compared only to a Billie Holiday vocal.

She completed high school from Calcutta, after which her family moved to Mumbai. She appeared in the video of the song "Chandini Raatein". In Mumbai, she began her modelling career, appearing in a number of advertising campaigns. Later on, Reemma moved from modelling to acting soon after. Her first film was a low budget film, Chitram, in Telugu, in which she acted opposite Uday Kiran. Later she appeared in the Tamil film, Minnale, which was very successful. She tried to enter Bollywood but her first Hindi film Hum Ho Gaye Aap Ke flopped, and she decided to continue working in Tamil cinema. Her latest movie Rendu was also a successful movie in the Tamil cinema. People found her facial expressions in the film Thimiru endearing and her horrific turn in Vallavan exposed her abilities in the histrionic department.Her role in Aayirathil Oruvan was highly praised by viewers and critics. In April 2006, a Madurai court issued non-bailable warrants against Sen and Shilpa Shetty for "posing in an obscene manner" in photographs published by a Tamil newspaper -

The recent events in Ferguson, Mo have brought racial bias to the forefront for St. Louis teens. During the protests, many surrounding school districts have suspended the start of the school year. Instead of watching the news reports rent these movies. Each of these movies are true accounts of black and white teens working together to achieve greatness.
Glory Road
The movie Glory Road is the account of the first all African American basketball team and the events that lead to the teams 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. Don Haskins, head coach of Texas Western College, recruited and coached a team with an all-black starting lineup, a first in NCAA history. Glory Road explores racism, discrimination, and the drive of student athletics to come together despite race.
The film Remember the Titans is based on the true account of African American coach Herman Boone as he tries to mold a racially divided team at the T. C. Williams High School in the southern Virginia town of Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. The film explores the conflicts of overcoming racial bias and developing understanding between blacks and whites. At the center of the story is the true portrayal of the relationship between young athletics, the white Gerry Bertier and the black Julius Campbell. The deep friendship between these boys overcame stunning obstacles and was instrumental in the successful development of the Titans team.
The movies will educate teens on the struggles within American culture to enact integration, tolerance, and acceptance between whites and blacks in the United States.

The rumors about the upcoming iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are gaining momentum as the expected launch date draws closer. There is now a leak that shows us the alleged retail packing of the iPhone 5S, which would confirm the device will be called iPhone 5S. A leaked image also shows that there will be a 128GB variant of the much anticipated iPhone 5S. This coincides with prediction that Apple will unveil a 128GB iPhone for tech-savvy users.
The alleged retail packing images of the iPhone 5S comes from China, showing a box that displays an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.
The iPhone 5S is expected to feature an appearance similar to the current iPhone 5, but will have hardware upgrades such as an A7 processor and a 12-13MP camera. A number of rumors also point towards fingerprint scanning technology in the home button; however, we don't actually know how it will be used. The device is expected to be available in the traditional black and white colors, along with a new gold color option.
One of the images also tells us that the device will be compatible with various carriers, as it mentions different networks support such as Rev. A and Rev. B, EVDO, CDMA, HSPA+/DC-HSDPA operating on 850/900/1900/2100MHz as well as 4G LTE support.
Apple is expected to showcase the device in September following its release a week and a half later—expected to be September 20th. Along with the refreshed iPhone 5S, Apple will also unveil its budget iPhone (aka iPhone 5C) featuring a polycarbonate body.

Nov. 12, 2007
The Game: The Washington football team (3-7 overall, 1-6 in the Pac-10) returns home for the first of two straight games at Husky Stadium as the Dawgs take on California (6-4 overall, 3-4 Pac-10) in a 12:30 p.m. game Saturday at Husky Stadium. Saturday is Military Appreciation Day as active military, veterans and their families can purchase tickets for $42, a 30-percent discount. Those same individuals are also invited to appear on the field for the National Anthem. Saturday is also the 28th annual Husky Food Drive. UW police and local law enforcement Explorers will accept donations of non-perishable food and cash outside the stadium. After the Cal game, the Huskies remain in Seattle for the 100th Washington-Washington State game Nov. 24 at Husky Stadium. The season wraps up Dec. 1 at Hawaii.
Huskies vs. Golden Bears History: Washington and California are the only two teams that have played in what is now the Pacific-10 Conference in every season since the league was founded in 1916. As that would indicate, they've played one another quite often. The Huskies hold a 46-37-4 record in the all-time series, which began in 1904. Prior to Cal victories in each of the last five meetings, the Huskies had won 19 consecutive games in the series, a streak that began with a 50-31 win in 1977. Before 2002, the last Cal win had come in 1976. Over the 19-game streak, the Huskies were ranked at the time of the Cal game 12 times, including playing as the No. 1 team in the country three times vs. the Golden Bears. The Bears were ranked on only three occasions in the streak, but have been ranked each of the last three seasons (No. 16 in 2004, No. 5 in 2005, No. 11 last year). Cal and UW first met in 1904, battling to a 6-6 tie in a game played in Seattle. In both 1915 and 1916, they played one another twice each year, with unbeaten Gil Dobie's Washington team sweeping the four games. In 1917, Cal broke the UW's 63-game unbeaten streak (still an NCAA record) with a 27-0 win in Berkeley. Other big games in the series include the 1937 game, when the unranked Huskies held No. 1 Cal to a 0-0 tie in Seattle. In 1991, the Bears probably came as close as anyone to beating Washington that national championship season, as Mike Pawlawski's last-gasp pass into the endzone was batted down in a 24-17 UW win. Washington has also posted four of its nine biggest comebacks in history against California. The biggest ever was in 1988, when the Dawgs trailed 27-3 before rallying to win, 28-27. In 1981, Washington was down 21-0 in the third quarter before coming back for a 27-26 victory. A 20-point comeback in 1993 (24-23) and a 14-point rally in 1999 (31-27) also rank on the list. In 2001, the Huskies trailed 21-7 in the first quarter, but came back to earn a 31-28 victory in Berkeley. The Bears, however, have now won five straight against the Huskies. In 2002, the Bears beat the Huskies, 34-27, at Husky Stadium to break the Dawgs' 19-game streak in the series. The following year in Berkeley, Cal routed Washington, 54-7, in the next-to-last game of the season. In 2004, the Bears visited Husky Stadium and left with a 42-12 win. The 2005 game, a 56-17 Bears win in Seattle, marked the first head-to-head matchup of Bears coach Jeff Tedford and Tyrone Willingham. Last year, Carl Bonnell hit Marlon Wood with a 40-yard pass on the final play of regulation to force overtime, but the Bears won in OT, 31-24.
Television: The Washington-California game will air live on ABC television with Dan Fouts, Tim Brant and Todd Harris providing commentary. Additionally, "Huskies All-Access" airs Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on FSN. The program is an up-close look at each Husky game, with features, one-on-one interviews and sideline video.
Radio: The Husky Sports Network, with its flagship station KJR 950-AM, will carry the live broadcast of every football game to three different states and British Columbia, Canada, on 21 different radio stations. Longtime play-by-play man Bob Rondeau and color analyst Chuck Nelson are joined by sideline reporter Elise Woodward. The game will also air nationally on the Touchdown Radio network with Rich Waltz and Gino Torretta calling the action. Many game broadcasts will also be carried on XM Satellite Radio on channel 194, 195 or 196 and can be heard over the internet via the Dawg Channel at gohuskies.com, which is available for no charge this season.
Washington-California Ties: Three members of the Washington coaching staff have spent time as assistant coaches at California. Prior to the 2006 season, Husky secondary coach J.D. Williams had spent the previous four years in the same role at Cal. UW defensive coordinator Kent Baer held that same job in Berkeley from 1987 to 1991 while Husky offensive coordinator Tim Lappano was assistant head coach and running backs coach for the Bears from 1992 to 1995. UW running backs coach Trent Miles and Cal head coach Jeff Tedford were on the same staff at Fresno State for one season, 1997. Lappano and Cal offensive coordinator and Seattle native Jim Michalczik were all on Dennis Erickson's Oregon State staff in the late 1990s and early 2000s. New Cal DBs coach R. Todd Littlejohn, who replaced Williams on the Bears' staff, also replaced Williams at San Jose State in 2000 after Williams had left for Fresno State. Finally, as far as the coaches go, Michalczik is married to former Husky volleyball player Jennifer Streatfeild. Cal's preseason roster lists two players from Washington: RS-freshman linebacker Anthony Felder and freshman DB Brandon Jones, who both attended O'Dea High, same as UW's Fred Wiggs and Quinton Richardson. Washington's roster includes numerous Californians, but only nine from Northern California: Donald Butler (Sacramento), Mason Foster (Seaside), Willie Griffin (Oakland), Greyson Gunheim (Santa Rosa), Chad Macklin (Visalia), De'Shon Matthews (Sacramento), Jordan Murchison (Oakland), Louis Rankin (Stockton) and Curtis Shaw (Stockton). Numerous Bears and Huskies attended the same high school: UW's Wilson Afoa and Cal's Tyson Alualu, Solomona Aigamaua and Scott Smith (St. Louis); Murchison and Cal's Jesse Brooks, Drew Glover and Cameron Toler (Bishop O'Dowd); UW's Quintin Daniels and Cal's Chris Conte and Mark Gray (Loyola); UW's Erik Folk and Cal's Sam DeMartinis (Notre Dame); UW's Byron Davenport and Cal's Gary Doxy and DeSean Jackson (Long Beach Poly); UW's Willie Griffin and Cal's Derrick Hill and Kyle Reed (McClymonds); UW's Austin Sylvester and Cal's Ernest Owusu (The Hun); and UW's Eric Berglund and Cal's Kevin Riley (Beaverton).
Huskies vs. Bay Area Schools: Washington has a combined, all-time record of 98-72-8 vs. opponents from the San Francisco Bay Area. Washington is 46-37-4 against Cal, 40-34-4 vs. Stanford, 10-0 vs. San Jose State, 1-1 vs. St. Mary's and 1-0 vs. Santa Clara. The Huskies haven't played Santa Clara since 1935 and St. Mary's since 1947. Since 1977, UW is 48-8-0 vs. Bay Area teams: 19-4 vs. Cal, 21-4 vs. Stanford and 8-0 vs. San Jose State.
Willingham vs. Cal: In his seven seasons as head coach at Stanford (1995-2001), UW head coach Tyrone Willingham posted a perfect 7-0 record against the Cardinal's biggest rival, California. That stretch of games included four contests played at Stanford Stadium and three at Berkeley's Memorial Stadium. Several of the games were close. In Willingham's first "Big Game" in 1995, Stanford won, 29-24. Two years later, the Cardinal snatched a 21-20 win followed by a 10-3 victory in 1998 in Berkeley. The 2000 game in Berkeley was a 36-30 overtime victory and Willingham's most recent win over the Bears, in 2001, came by a touchdown, 35-28. Willingham has 1-0 head-to-head vs. Keith Gilbertson, 1-0 vs. Steve Mariucci, 5-0 vs. Tom Holmoe and 0-2 vs. Jeff Tedford.
On The Run: The UW currently ranks 33rd in the nation and third in the Pac-10 in rushing offense with 182.0 yards per game. If that pace continues, it would be the Huskies' best rushing average since 2000 (211.7), when the Huskies won the Rose Bowl. Additionally, the Dawgs are averaging 4.8 yard per carry. The school record for yards per carry is 4.9 yards, set by the 1991 national championship team.
Ranked Opponents in `07: Oregon, ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press top 25 when the Ducks faced the UW, was the fifth Husky opponent this season (in only seven games) to be ranked by the AP. With current rankings, the Huskies have a good shot to play six AP-ranked teams this season as the UW's Dec. 1 opponent, Hawaii, is ranked No. 13. UW has played a regular-season schedule that included six ranked teams on only three occasions: in 1969, 1986 and 1992.
About The Win At Syracuse: The Huskies' 42-12 win at Syracuse was something of a milestone win. After all, with a 30-point margin of victory, it was the Dawgs' most-lopsided win over a non-conference opponent since a 34-0 win at Northwestern in the 1983 season-opener. For that matter, Washington hadn't beaten any opponent by 30 or more since a 42-10 over Oregon on Nov. 1, 2003, and was the biggest win over a BCS-conference team on the road (Pac-10 or non-conference) since the 51-3 win over Washington State in the 2000 Apple Cup.
About The Win vs. Boise State: The Huskies' 24-10 win over then-No. 22 Boise State had its share of milestones, not unlike the Syracuse game. The win over the Broncos was the Huskies' first win over a ranked team since the UW beat No. 8 Washington State, 27-19, in the 2003 Apple Cup (Nov. 22, 2003). It was the Dawgs' first win over a non-conference ranked team since the UW opened the 2001 season with a 23-18 victory over No. 11 Michigan. The 2001 season was also the last time that Washington has opened a season 2-0. In the meantime, the Huskies broke the Broncos' 14-game winning streak and held BSU to its lowest point total since 2005.
About The Win At Stanford: Washington's 27-9 win at Stanford on Nov. 3 had its share of historical points. For one, senior tailback Louis Rankin had a career day with 255 yards on 36 carries, both shattering previous career highs (23 and 147 were the old highs). His 255 yards were fourth most in UW history and his 36 carries tied for fourth-most. The Huskies' 31 total first downs tied for fifth-most in school history and their 23 first downs by rush also tied for fifth. Lastly, the Dawgs' 388 rushing yards were ninth-most in school history, their most since the 1996 San Jose State and their most in a conference game since a 1990 win over California. Lastly, the Cardinal's nine points were fewest by a Husky opponent in a Pac-10 game since the 51-3 win at Washington State in 2000.
Random Notes: The Huskies have 10 interceptions this year, by nine different players ... the Dawgs hadn't blocked a field goal since 2001 prior to the Boise State game, but now had a blocked FG (both by Jordan Reffett) in two straight games (Boise State and Ohio State) ... on the other hand, the Huskies also had a field goal blocked in those same two ... the UW hasn't committed double-digit (i.e., 10 or more) penalties in a game in any of their 33 games under Coach Tyrone Willingham.
True Freshmen: Last season, only two true freshman saw game action (LB Donald Butler and FB Paul Homer). However, this season, a much bigger group of first-year players have played - a total of seven thusfar. Cornerback Vonzell McDowell Jr. has started three games, while S Nate Williams, S Victor Aiyewa, LB Mason Foster, LB/FB Austin Sylvester and TBs Curtis Shaw and Brandon Johnson have all played, with Foster picking up starts in three games.

Global Education Statement:
The writer Ayn Rand once observed that "Americans were first to understand that wealth has to be created." It is easy to see why Americans would be first to understand this basic concept. America's early settlers arrived in the New World from 17th and 18th century Europe. European nations of that time were monarchies. To a European worker of that time, (as was seen in the writings of Marx, Engels and others) the "wealth problem" was a problem of unequal wealth distribution. There was a tiny ruling class that had almost all of the wealth, and the vast majority had almost nothing.
The view from western side of the Atlantic was immediately quite different. The New World of that time was a vast, empty continent, where no one had wealth. It would have been obvious to our early settlers that, if they wanted material goods, they had to create the wealth that would enable the purchases. That is one reason why America evolved a uniquely entrepreneurial culture. The other often cited reason is that the types of people who would journey across oceans to seek opportunity were inherently risk takers. No doubt both factors contributed to America's entrepreneurial culture and success.
Today, entrepreneurs are a principal driving force for change and innovation. They are a major source of wealth creation in our society and, when successful, they are highly respected and honored. To a much greater extent than in other developed nations, the United States has evolved an appreciation of entrepreneurial success, a tolerance for entrepreneurial failure, and an extensive support industry for entrepreneurs, including venture capitalists, investment bankers and other professionals whose businesses are dependent upon the success of entrepreneurs.
In my 36-year career as an entrepreneur, I founded and built three high technology companies, creating in the process more than $600 million in shareholder value. I raised more than $55 million is venture capital from some of the most respected venture capital firms, including Hambrecht & Quist Ventures, Menlo Ventures, St. Paul Venture Capital, Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe, Alan Patricof Associates, Charles River Capital, Cigna Ventures, Olympic Venture Partners, Benchmark Capital and several others. As I gained experience as an entrepreneur, it became much easier to produce the next success. That is why I am convinced that our universities should be teaching entrepreneurship, and I decided to devote my remaining career to the teaching of entrepreneurship. It has been a rewarding choice.
My research interests include entrepreneurial success factors, government policies that contribute to or inhibit entrepreneurial wealth creation, corporate governance, intellectual property protection and valuation, and international marketing and finance.

Global Education Statement: Many communities throughout the world have been underserved by technology to date and in some cases technology has caused barriers that have impeded their progress. These communities (whether they be poor rural populations in Africa and Asia or poor urban populations in South and North America or physically challenged communities throughout the world) have not benefited from state-of-the-art technology despite the pressing needs of these communities and the fact that the "developing world" constitutes of more than two thirds of the global population. Much of this divide is due to incompatible monetary, infrastructural, and operational skill requirements for much of modern-day technology. Thus, designing and implementing technology that can enhance suitable and sustainable development in these communities provides unique challenges in creativity and resourcefulness. While many organizations continue to focus on a variety of means to assist these communities in their quest for sustainable development, fewer organizations have studied how technology can empower these communities. My principal research objective is to create innovative technology solutions that address the needs of these communities in a culturally relevant and locally sustainable manner. Primarily I work with resource-constrained developing communities where the accessible infrastructure and indigenous skills are very different from the norms prevalent in the technologically developed world. My work in this area has helped to advance the fast growing field of ICTD (Information and Communication Technologies for Development), and my TechBridgeWorld research group, which now spans both the Pittsburgh and Doha campuses, is growing in recognition for our contributions to this field.

Global Education Statement: What is global education? Simply put, education that reflects modern lived reality. Students graduating from any college today need to be able to navagate an increasingly polycentric and multicultural world, where economic decisions made on one side of the globe have a ripple effect on the other. What is more, students must graduate from college with an intuitive understanding of the interconnectedness of technology, economy, and ecology. Finally, a global education should be an interdisciplinary education, where insights from multiple fields are applied to solve real-life problems, in keeping with Dean Doherty's insightful Carnegie Plan for professional education.

Just a few years ago, severe drought plagued the southeast.
Fast forward a couple years and now it's the heavy rainfall that's creating problems, especially for a local sewage plant.
The Beaver Creek Wastewater Treatment plant was designed to take in 6 million gallons of water a day max.
But because of all the rain, they're seeing up to 12 million gallons come through.
It's a problem that city officials have been dealing with for years.
Beaver creek wastewater treatment facility is struggling to keep up.
"During periods of heavy rainfall the plant is inundated with water," said Billy Mayes, Dothan Utilities Superintendent.
"I think Beaver Creek sees 3 to 4 million gallons of sewage a day and then all of the sudden it rains heavy and the plant is asked to taken in over 10 million gallons and the plant just wasn't designed to do that," said City Manager Mike West.
When too much water comes in, the facility can't cope, meaning the quality of the water released back into the environment is lessened.
"Our biggest worry is harm to the environment," said the plant's chief operator Robert Breth.
"The waste coming into beaver creek can't stay in there long enough to be processed thoroughly and meet our permit requirements," said West.
The plant was built in 1960 and underwent a major upgrade in the 70's.
But as Dothan continues to grow, so does the need for a new facility.
"Beaver Creek is the oldest treatment plant in the city it's in the fastest growing area of the city in growth in development," said West.
That's why in 2005, city leaders decided to spend tens of millions of dollars to build a new facility.
"Sewer work is some of the most expensive work you'll do. The 45 million dollar project is the largest capital project the city has ever undertaken," said West.
"We're in the process of upgrading the little Choctawhatchee plant, heavy construction is going on," said Mayes.
Officials expect construction on the new facility to be complete by October of 2011.
City manager west says right now, the city is being sued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for several violations.
He says before the lawsuit goes any further, he hopes ADEM takes into account that the city has taken progressive steps to fix the problem.
The Beaver Creek Wastewater Facility is located on Flowers Chapel road, behind Highway 84 West.

Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are rapidly becoming the dynamic duo of the Senate. Cruz backed Paul's 13 hour filibuster against drone strikes on Americans. Now Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are promising to filibuster any Gun Control bill.
Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are threatening to filibuster gun-control legislation, according to a letter they plan to hand-deliver to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office on Tuesday.
"We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions," the three conservatives wrote in a copy of the signed letter obtained by POLITICO.
Though they don't use the word "filibuster" in the letter, the conservatives are leaving no doubt that they would filibuster on an initial procedural question — the motion to proceed.
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are true Patriots standing up for the Civil Rights of Americans. Without Guns, we lose our freedoms and our property.
Like many on the Right, I am very disillusioned with the Republican party. You have spineless Establishment and a stubborn base both of whom are hampering the Party's ability to win elections. The one issue keeping me from defecting to the Libertarians, who I am ideologically more in line with is Gun Rights. If the GOP caves on Guns, I will no longer automatically vote for them. They would have to earn my vote. I am not alone in this sentiment.

The 100 acre Myakka City Lemur Reserve is located in extreme eastern
Manatee County surrounded on all sides by agriculture. A variety of
habitat types occur on the site due to topographical gradients,
various soil types and historical land-uses, allowing environmental
diversity on the reserve. The vegetation zones are defined as
oak-pine mixed forest, upland coniferous forest, live oak hammock,
mixed rangeland, pine flatwoods, scrub and brush land, palmetto
prairie, freshwater marsh, and wetland mixed forest. The lemur
enclosures are located in the forests. Every effort is being made to
maintain the colony in as natural a state as possible so that
behavioral research will be maximally unbiased.
Currently 40 lemurs (7.4 Lemur catta, 1.0 Eulemur
coronatus, 1.1 Eulemur collaris, 7.5 Eulemur
mongoz, 1.0 Eulemur albifrons, 5.0 Varecia rubra, 2.3 Eulemur
sanfordi, 3.1 Eulemur fulvus fulvus) are living on the reserve.
The Foundation works closely with Duke University Lemur Center, Dr. Ian
Tattersall and the rest of the LCF Scientific Advisory Council, the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Prosimian Taxon Advisory
Group, and the Species Survival Plan (SSP) coordinators to ensure
that the colony is maintained and utilized as a prime research and
breeding resource.
Two forested 13-acre+ enclosures are surrounded by 13-foot electrified
chain link fences (only the top three feet of the fence are
electrified, and that with low voltage), and the remaining acres
currently serve as a buffer zone for the reserve.
The existing indigenous vegetation has been supplemented by plantings of
mango, passion fruit, guava, grapes, banana, persimmon, and bamboo
species already found to be widespread in Florida.
Within the main forest enclosure, the Reed and
Barbara Toomey Lemur Pavilion, a beautifully designed
cinder-block building divided into eight indoor and outdoor
enclosures, serves to house the lemurs in times of environmental
stress, i.e., hurricanes, electrical storms, controlled fires, the
unusual freezing night, or at any other time the animals should not
be free-ranging. The outside area of chain-link attached to the
building permits the animals to move into the sunlight by day while
remaining confined. Within the air-conditioned and heated shelter is
a food preparation room with a refrigerator/freezer, sink, hot water
heater, examination table and cabinets used for storage.
Around the door of the shelter, New York artist Barbara Sandler has painted
a lovely frieze featuring fruits and flowers that lemurs love to
The second 13-acre enclosure of mostly slash pine forest is called
the Jim Toomey Woods, a great
habitat for our lemurs. Within the enclosure is the newest shelter,
the Marilyn K. North Lemur
Lodge. The North Lemur Lodge doubles the amount of room
available for lemurs and includes a separate veterinary room. CF
artist Mary Fussell designed and underwrote an exuberant etched and
sandblasted entrance door to the shelter.
The Michael & Jean Martin
Quarantine Shelter is primarily used for lemurs arriving at
the Reserve. Newcomers must be confined for 30 days to ensure that
they are healthy and disease-free. The shelter has two rooms that can
accommodate two different groups of lemurs.
Outside the forest enclosure there is Fisher
Caretaker's Cottage, which houses the full time
manager/caretaker. There is also a 20' x 40' greenhouse, in which
cold sensitive fruiting plants are grown under organic conditions for
the animals.
The Researchers' House is
a fully furnished house on site for visiting researchers with 4
bedrooms and 2 baths.
The Tranasoa Myakka (Myakka
Welcome House), on 5 acres adjacent to the 100 acre reserve will serve as
staff housing and also accommodate visiting researchers and
In 2004, a 14-acre palmetto prairie called Red Dog Woods was cleared on the
Reserve and planted with 8000 trees, mostly native oaks and pines. In
15-20 years when the trees mature, it will be fenced to make the 3rd
forested enclosure for additional lemurs.
The Mianatra Center for Lemur
Studies and the Anne &
Walter Bladstrom Library serve as an on-site educational
resource facility, the centerpiece of the Myakka City Lemur Reserve
campus. The Center supports LCF staff, scientists, researchers,
students and visitors in their efforts to better understand the
nature, ecology and conservation of the primates of Madagascar.
The Center comprises staff offices, a spacious reading/conference
room equipped with the latest audio-visual and computer technology,
and the lemur library made up of virtual, digital and physical
collections about "all things lemur." Essentially, it is a one-stop
globally accessible information resource about lemurs and will serve
as a model for other resources worldwide.

Certifying the French population of Crassostrea ...

|Certifying the French population of Crassostrea gigas free from exotic diseases: a risk analysis approach
|Section author(s)
|A. Thebault, F. C. J. Berthe, L. Audige
|Book editor(s)
|C.J. Rodgers
|Sample-size calculations in the context of surveys aimed at substantiating freedom from infection have been commonly undertaken on terrestrial animals over recent years, but not on aquatic animals. A recent model developed by Audige and Beckett in 1999 can be used to plan and assess animal health surveys. The aim of this study was to adapt that model for marine aquaculture, in particular to help in planning surveys aimed at substantiating freedom from two exotic diseases, mikrocytosis and perkinsosis, in the French population of Crassostrea gigas. As a first approach, farmed animals were targeted without dividing the French coast into different zones, since the movement and mixing of animals are so frequent that it would be very difficult to be representative of a single area or zone. To find the most appropriate sampling scheme, the model was run using at Risk with 1000 iterations and Latin hypercube sampling for each simulation. 60 samples from 30 animals within animal clusters were sufficient to detect a cluster prevalence of 10% with 90% confidence, or a prevalence of 20% with more than 95% confidence. Alternatively, 100 samples from 30 animals would be enough to detect 10% of infected clusters with more than 90% confidence. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to attempt to distinguish between parameter uncertainty and variability. Uncertainty about the sensitivity of the diagnosis test (varying between 50% and 70%) had a major influence on the testing scheme at cluster level, but not much influence at the survey level. This model was very useful in assessing different sampling strategies. However, the model also requires enhancements, such as the availability of more accurate data to confirm the various assumptions made, and being able to take into account other factors, such as the results from past surveys, exchanges and movement of animals and environmental factors..

On June 6th, 2016 Deputies from the Butte County Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Unit served a search warrant in the 3700 block of Broken Glass Circle, Concow.
Upon service of the search warrant, Deputies located James Burkhart, age 49, of Las Vegas, Nevada. Burkhart was detained without incident. Burkhart would later be arrested for cultivation of marijuana and maintaining a location where sales was taking place.
A search of the area revealed outdoor and greenhouse grown marijuana plants. Marijuana plants were also located hidden within natural brush in an attempt to hide the marijuana plants. A total of 654 marijuana plants were located and eradicated. Four pounds of processed marijuana, packaged for sale, was also found on the property and seized.
Later in the day, a follow up investigation was conducted and a second person responsible for the Broken Glass Circle marijuana grow was arrested without incident. Melody Leung, age 25, of Las Vegas, Nevada was arrested for the cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, transportation of marijuana, and maintaining a location where sales was taking place.
Burkhart and Leung were transported to the Butte County Jail. Burkhart's bail is $100,000.00 and Leung's bail is $175,000.00.
On June 1st, 2016, Deputies with the Butte County Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Unit served a search warrant on several parcels on Stump Ranch Road, Berry Creek.
Upon service of the search warrant, Deputies located several large scale marijuana grow sites to include one along Adams Creek. It appeared the marijuana cultivators had dammed Adams Creek and made a pond for the water supply to several of the marijuana plants. Liquid fertilizer containers were found floating in the pond with several growing marijuana plants nearby. Water was being transferred from the pond to the marijuana plants via a gas powered pump. A search of the area revealed 133 of the marijuana plants were being grown on United States Forest Service land.
Deputies continued to search the area and located several outdoor marijuana grow sites as well as a greenhouse. In total, Deputies eradicated 8,335 marijuana plants. While Deputies were searching the area, two vehicles traveled to the end of Stump Ranch Road. The individuals in the vehicles were determined to be associated to the marijuana grow and detained without incident, however, one of the subjects was armed with a handgun and rifle.
Arrested at the scene were Alvaro Villegas, age 23, of Oroville for cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale; Jose Aquilar, age 28, of Oroville for cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, and committing a felony while out on bail/O.R.; Jesus Guzman-Mayorga, age 29, of Gridley for cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, and being armed in the commission of a felony.
All three were booked into the Butte County Jail. Villegas has a bail of $100,000.00, Aquilar has a bail of $125,000.00, Guzman-Mayorga has a bail of $115,000.00.

Broadcasters snub Dineen in Coach of Year award
The NHL released the three finalists for the Jack Adams Coach of the Year award and shockingly, Panthers coach Kevin Dineen was not among them.
Although the three finialists (selected by NHL Broadcasters Association) are certainly deserving, this reporter doesn't feel that Rangers coach John Tortorella or Ottawa coach Paul MacLean were nearly as instrumental in turning their teams around. Dineen took about 12 to 17 new players (at some point in the season) and took them from 15th in the Eastern Conference last season into a division champion for the first time in franchise history. Although the award is voted on before the playoffs, he also had his team one goal away from the conference semis.
A team that has no superstars and no 30-goal scorers notched 94 points and ended a 10-season playoff drought. A team that had as many injuries as any team in the NHL (or close to). Did I mention it was Dineen's first season as an NHL head coach?
Granted, I believe that Blues coach Ken Hitchcock, the other finalist, should be the winner for turning around a 6-7 squad into a 109-point, 43-15-11 team that set or tied 13 club records. MacLean certainly has more stars (Alfredsson, Spezza, Karlsson). Dineen also handled the media and his players with class and dignity. Not sure I could say the same for Tortorella and his condescending, sarcastic press conferences (and his accusation that the NHL was practically fixing the Winter Classic). Anyhow, at least the Panthers are getting leaguewide props and attention with GM Dale Tallon up for GM of the Year and Brian Campbell up for the Lady Byng, however, I still feel that Tomas Fleischmann's omission from the Masterton nominees was a gross injustice and the Dineen snub is a close second.
Perhaps some of the broadcasters should pay closer attention to the small-market teams.

~Well...no, but this is an RPC drawing group. So no you don't have to make an OC or anything but we would like it more if you did~!
Do I have to do art?
~No silly! You can do many different things! You could write a story, write a poem, write a song! Even cosplay! Though I don't think ANYBODY is going to do that! *laughs*
So where do I submit my (insert whatever you are submitting name's here)?
~Well, we have specific art folders where you put whatever you are submitting in! There is Featured (if you don'tthink any of your pictures fit in the categories listed, put it here), OC Application, OCs, 100 Missions (this is where you submit you art for the Assignment Board), God x Servant, and Misc. Just plop your whatever into the folder you think it fits best in!
I want to do the Assignment Board and make an OC, what do I do now?
~Have no fear! All you have to do is fill out this application meme => fav.me/d3kiiqp and then you are ready to go!
Just in case you didn't see it before, here ya go~!

brilliant, even if its not cheap. one question arises though...what about the telemark and semblance from analog solutions?

As for distribution, my first guess is Audio MIDI since he and the others he name drops in this clip had a symposium that they videoed and sold. As for other SEM based modules, good question. Are there design patents in question? I noticed a lack of logo on the prototype new SEM. Hmmm.

Sounds great. I'm with Beermaster... I want at least four of them.. Hey, I wonder if they can be daisy chained to form a polyphonic system? I should find out first before ordering, lol.

Re semblance and telemark - I have tried the former and while it sounds good it lacks much of the SEM peculiarity. I own an original SEM and am very familiar with its character. The lowpassfilter for example is one of the smoothest sounding to be found anywhere. There are also a few sweetspots when fading the lp/hp filters. You also get a strange (and cool) digital-ish vibe when you tune the oscillators close. Similar to what stacking two analog waveforms in a s+s synth gives. All these sounds *like* an SEM on the Semblance, but more as a consequence of design than actually capturing the sem sound.

there's no logo on the new one Ken, because gibson still own the logo and oberheim brand. Otherwise it's pretty faithfull to the original, which i have used in TVS and four voice form.

Any chance of a reissue of an OB-Xa? Hope he has considered?
