I had a replication job (transactional) on the same server between two databases set to use my domain account, which is admin on the box.
When I rebooted the box, the jobs failed, saying that my account wasn't an "owner."
I changed the owner and now the sub is requiring a re-initialize. What did I do wrong? Should I have made a SQL Server account to do the job? What rights should I have assigned?

Previously, I posted about the perils of applying standards-driven instruction to reading classrooms. The point was that reading standards typically don't articulate the content that students need to learn to become good readers; they merely list the skills and habits exhibited by already good readers. Therefore, using standards to plan lessons results in ineffective reading instruction—those skills and habits can't really be taught, practiced, and mastered in the abstract.
The truth is that while the problems are most acute in reading, standards for any subject are most effective when used not to drive lesson planning on any given day, but rather the selection of a clear, teacher-friendly, coherently developed curriculum. That's because even the best standards don't help teachers figure out how to ensure that all students master the requisite content and skills. They describe the destination, but they don't provide a roadmap. Curriculum is the missing link.
One might then ask why we are even talking about standards. Rather than debating the Common Core State Standards why not debate a "Common Curriculum"? In fact, that is how it works in many countries. Even Finland—the country that most reform critics want us to...
Just in time for Christmas, my Fordham colleague Mike Petrilli has left a present under the tree for inquisitive children and busy parents who don't think the sky will fall if the kids get a little screen time now and again (it won't).
Over the course of a year's blog posts, and with the help of several able Fordham interns, Mike curated some of the best streaming web videos on Netflix, Amazon, and elsewhere. He then aligned them with the Core Knowledge Sequence, a robust list of subjects from pre-K to eighth grade that undergirds the curriculum at some of the nation's most successful schools. These have now been repackaged into a neat little website he's calling "Netflix Academy." Homeschoolers for whom Core Knowledge is a subject of near-religious devotion will also be grateful for this resource.
You'll find videos on science, literature, and U.S. and world history. Click on "Science," for example, and you'll see a drop-down menu organized by knowledge domains (aquatic life, mammals, insects, outer space, etc.). Within each domain are direct links to streaming videos from Netflix, National Geographic, PBS, YouTube, and others sources. You'll also find movie versions of classic children's...
Before the age of standards and tests, teachers generally taught the textbook. They began on page one and got as far as they could before the end of June, sometimes racing through the last four chapters in less time than they devoted to the first.
Standards, testing, and accountability changed that. Now there are clearly defined goals that all students must meet, and teachers are asked to ensure not just "coverage," but that all students master a predetermined set of content and skills.
That means today's curriculum and instruction are driven not by where you began but by where you want to end up. In a data-driven, results-oriented classroom, good teachers begin with the standards and "backmap" from June to September to ensure that the most critical or difficult topics get the instructional time they deserve.
This approach makes sense for most subjects, where the standards describe the actual content that students need to master within and across grades. Math, for instance, is a hierarchical subject with a logical progression of skills and content. Yearlong curriculum plans can be devised and focused on ensuring adequate time to master all of the key standards. And teachers who themselves are math experts...
[Editor's note: This is part two of a multi-part series on the use of prior knowledge in literacy. It originally appeared in a slightly different form at Tim Shanahan's blog, Shanahan on Reading. The first post can be found here.]
In my first post, I focused on the controversy over prior knowledge. Common Core has discouraged enhancing reading comprehension through the introduction of information external to a text.
That challenges the most popular ways of introducing texts in schools—telling students information about the text topic or exploring student knowledge relevant to the topic. CCSS proponents bridle at such practices. They want students to become independent readers, which means they'd be able to read texts effectively without extra information.
They also blanch at the idea of students constructing text meanings without sufficiently accounting for the author's input; texts should mean something closer to what the author intended than what a reader might choose to make it mean.
The problem with de-emphasizing existing knowledge is that reading comprehension depends on reader knowledge. We use what we know to draw inferences, clarify ambiguity, and store information in memory. Banning explicit attention to student knowledge can't "level the playing field" between rich and poor because...
[Editor's note: This is part one of a multi-part series on the use of prior knowledge in literacy. It originally appeared in a slightly different form at Tim Shanahan's blog, Shanahan on Reading.]
An idea heavily promoted in Common Core (CCSS) discussions is the notion that we shouldn't talk about students' "prior knowledge," and that avoiding such discussions somehow "levels the playing field" when it comes to learning to read. Researchers in the cognitive sciences rediscovered the importance of people's knowledge in learning and comprehension back in the 1970s (revisiting ideas previously explored by Bartlett, Kant, Plato, etc.).
Research findings were very clear: Readers comprehend more when a text overlaps with their knowledge of the world, and they comprehend less when there is less such information in their minds.
Research also has shown benefits from increasing students' prior knowledge (it is "prior" in the sense that readers knew it before the author told them). And even reminding students that they have relevant knowledge prior to reading can bear fruit.
Why is prior knowledge so useful to readers? There are many reasons, but certainly a basic one is that the availability of such information reduces how painstaking reading...
Media Contact:Michelle Lerner[email protected]202-223-5452Washington, D.C. (November 19, 2014) — The Thomas B. Fordham Institute has launched a new study to evaluate the quality and content alignment of PARCC, Smarter Balanced, and ACT Aspire to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Fordham's study will be published in summer 2015.As part of the effort, Fordham will also evaluate the 2014 Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), a high-quality state assessment, for Common Core alignment under an agreement with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education."The promise of the Common Core State Standards, implemented faithfully, is improved education and life outcomes for millions of American children," noted...
Common Core has the potential to shift and drastically improve math instruction in American schools, but its detractors have marshalled a raucous opposition to its proposed changes. We've already examined the questionable arguments against Common Core literacy standards; now we're turning our sights to math.
September's Intelligence Squared U.S. debate pitted Fordham President Michael J. Petrilli and the Center for American Progress's Carmel Martin against the American Enterprise Institute's Rick Hess and New York principal Carol Burris. Hess and Burris are two of Common Core's most eloquent and energetic critics, but the position they mounted against the initiative's math standards is not a strong one. It can essentially be boiled down to three points:
1.) The standards confuse children.
This is perhaps the most common critique of Common Core math. As the new standards have been implemented (seldom perfectly) in participating states, districts, and schools, children have sometimes been assigned math problems that would make a structural engineer scratch her head. Parents accustomed to the "classic style" of teaching math—long worksheets of standard algorithms with one or two word problems...
There's apprehension in some ed-reform circles that things have gone sideways.
There's the resistance to Common Core coming from the right and the left. There's frustration with ESEA waivers. There's the mess in Newark. There are twelve students demanding Harvard divorce Teach for America.
But each of these is, of course, an anecdote, and "data" is not the plural of "anecdote." So are these chapters in a larger backlash-to-reform narrative, or are they just well-publicized exceptions to the reform-is-winning rule?
I've spent some time going through four recent surveys of the views of the public, educators, parents, and insiders. They offer encouragement to the reform community, though with one important exception. In short, many of today's most prominent reforms are quite popular, but it looks like folks are perturbed by a meddlesome Uncle Sam. (If you have time, I recommend your taking a gander at the data from Education Next, Phi Delta Kappan, Whiteboard Advisors, and Education Post.)
Consistent with public opinion data going back decades, today's Americans think their local schools are doing fine, but they think schools in...
I confess I'm somewhat bewildered by the passionate arguments over the Common Core State Standards. Getting in high dudgeon about K–12 learning standards, which say almost nothing about what kids do in school all day, makes no more sense to me than getting apoplectic about food-handling procedures, which I seldom think about when pushing my cart through the grocery store. In New York City, where I live, architects seem grimly determined of late to litter the skyline with strange new monstrosities, each a greater eyesore than the last. It had not occurred to me to blame Gotham's building codes.
I expect an argument when I assign my students Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Mill, and Hayek. But standards? They are dry, unlovely things.
But no matter. I come neither to praise nor bury the Common Core State Standards, now widely regarded as a "damaged brand" and a political piñata. But I do wish to point out that the standards enshrine several sound education ideas that have long been near and dear to conservatives. If Common Core disappears tomorrow, the considerable energy that has gone into fighting the standards ought to be redirected toward ensuring their survival. If not, conservatives may win a pyrrhic...
Call it the Iron Law of Pedagogy: Every good teaching idea becomes a bad idea the moment it hardens into orthodoxy.
The latest example might be "close reading," which has become yet another hot-button issue among Common Core critics. But complaints about it bother me less than its potential overuse, or the creeping notion that close reading is what all reading instruction should look like under Common Core. That would be bad for the standards, and even worse for reading achievement in the U.S.
Close reading is "an intensive analysis of a piece of text, in order to come to terms with what it says, how it says it, and what it means," writes literacy expert Tim Shanahan of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Common Core expects students to "read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text."
Sounds simple, benign, even obvious. Would anyone not want students to be able to do this? Close reading for evidence and to support inferences is a...

"I was quite pleased and touched when Marlene offered to come and speak to my Introductory Psychology students. Not only did I know that the students would be thrilled to have a guest speaker (a rest from me!), but I also knew that Marlene would have an important and special message for them that they were meant to hear.
Despite my delight in Marlene coming, on the day of her visit, I was a bit nervous as I was unsure as to how the students would respond to her teachings. Even though I myself am confident about the nature of Marlene's gifts, one is never sure when it comes to a group of first-year undergraduate students who, still in their teens, are contending with a variety of pressures in their lives while simultaneously busy on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! However, much to my relief, during Marlene's presentation, I scanned the room and took note that the students were listening attentively and that, during the meditation exercise, almost all of them actively participated.
The following week during my next class with the students, I asked them what they thought about Marlene's visit. One student raised her hand and said, "It was the best presentation I've ever seen in my life." A second student also raised her hand and added, "Her presentation came at the perfect time. I was having such a bad day that day, and she totally helped me to relax and put my problems in perspective, to show me that I am in charge of them."
A few weeks after Marlene's presentation, a third student told me that I should invite Marlene to all of my classes to speak. Since my students are very wise and it is they who teach me, I am going to do heed this sage advice and do exactly that: invite Marlene every semester to come and speak to the students. Despite outward appearances of laughter, youthful enthusiasm and supposed partying, our students today struggle with a number of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-doubt, addictions, eating disorders and self-cutting as well as family responsibilities, financial debt and concerns about future job security. And so, if Marlene is willing to come and share her rich knowledge and experience, then the University of Guelph-Humber and its students are lucky indeed. "

Versatility Ranch Horse Arrives in Argentina
May 29, 2011
AQHA versatility ranch horse competition has officially arrived in South America!
The very first event was held May 25 at Laurencio Leal Lobo's training facility, Haras Los Rayos, in Urdinarrain, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The date happened to coincide with Argentina's Independence Day.
Ten horse and rider teams competed – four in the amateur and six in the open. Alvaro Lucena, president of Argentina's Quarter Horse Association, or Criadores Argentinos de Caballos Cuarto de Milla, won the amateur with his SM Quixotes Surprise (by Nicnac Enterprise Jr). Facundo Romero won the open on Estancias Graciarena S.A.'s CKW Scorpion (by Billy Dixon).
"This is the competition for my country," Alvaro Lucena said after the awards ceremony. Alvaro was part of a group of American Quarter Horse breeders and competitors from Argentina and Uruguay who attended the 2011 Pfizer AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse World Championship Show at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
"Last year, when I was elected president (of CACCM), I thought where should our association go, in what direction?" Alvaro continued. "I thought we needed to build our amateur classes… and we needed something to put cattle into our AQHA competition. When I saw the (Pfizer Versatility World), I said this is for us."
For the past four years, AQHA judge Dr. Jim Heird has brought annual colt-starting clinics to South America, sponsored in part by the American Quarter Horse Foundation. Following the Pfizer Versatility World, Alvaro Lucena and Alvaro Martinicorena of the Uruguayan Quarter Horse Association (Sociedad Criadores Cuarto de Milla) aimed to focus the 2011 clinics on the versatility ranch class.
The competition in Urdinarrain was held after a two-day clinic given by versatility ranch horse world champion Chance O'Neal of the Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas, and Dr. Heird's team from Texas A&M University's Equine Initiative.
More than 40 people attended with approximately 15 riding. The clinic covered the rules and horsemanship in each of the five versatility classes – ranch trail, ranch riding, ranch cutting, working ranch horse and ranch horse conformation – and gave each rider one-on-one coaching time with Chance.
The riders' enthusiasm was infectious. When competition time came, half the fun was watching some of the riders meet personal clinic goals. Everyone cheered as Barbara Reilly – the lone woman in the competition – made her lead changes and when Renzo Orono roped and caught his cow.
The event is a natural fit for countries like Uruguay and Argentina that have a rich tradition of raising cattle using the skills of horseback gauchos – a South American parallel to the cowboy of the North American West.
"It's an event that improves horsemanship and encourages friendships more than anything," Dr. Heird said as he presented the awards in the main barn at Haras Los Rayos. "It was an honor to be the first to judge a Quarter Horse show in South America, and it is an honor to be here to judge the first versatility ranch Quarter Horse show in South America."
More versatility ranch horse events are in the works for Argentina. With three German riders having competed at the 2011 Pfizer Versatility World – the event's first international entries – Argentina is aiming to have the first from South America. Watch out, cowboys, the gauchos are coming!

1 & 1/2 cups total of shredded cheddar & Parmesan cheese
3/4 cups of small broccoli florets
1/2 leek, chopped small
3/4 cup of zucchini, diced
1/4 cup of onions, diced small
1 teaspoon of garlic, minced
1/4 pound of pancetta or Italian ham, diced (optional)
5 large eggs
2 & 1/2 cups of half & half
1 teaspoon of salt, more or less to taste
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, ground
2 tablespoons of fresh dill, minced fine
What to Do:
STEP 1) Make the pie crust according to my recipe. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
STEP 2) Steam broccoli; set aside.
STEP 3) Sauté the leek, zucchini, onion and garlic together until al dente.
STEP 4) Spread the cheeses over the bottom of the crust. Arrange the veggies on top of the cheeses.
STEP 5) In a mixing bowl or using a hand-held mixer, combine eggs, half & half, salt, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon dill together until mixed well.
STEP 6) Pour the liquid over the veggies very carefully so as not to disturb the veggies and cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the dill and some Mrs. Dash over the top.
STEP 7) Very carefully, place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. Cool completely before refrigerating any leftovers.
STEP 8) Enjoy

We will win by 6-8. Ridley will get in foul trouble because refs love to call fouls on the road team (especially the bigs) and the ridiculous, unforced turnovers from the game in Austin won't happen.
Kansas wears Adidas.

With lots of long shots come long rebounds and ISU was able to get hold of many of those, which also helped. But the superior size of Texas pounded ISU on the interior, drawing lots of fouls, which sent them to the line for high percentage free throws and putting an ISU team that isn't very deep in foul trouble. I alos remember the length of Texas defenders being a big reason ISu had so many turnovers. I think ISU has to get Ridley and/or Holmes out of the game in foul trouble for long stretches to have a good shot at winning. They were close in Austin, but Texas prevailed. Since Texas isn't getting any smaller, ISU needs to figure out what changes can be made. They'll either need to get the Texas bigs moving more side to side and drive past them or make more threes. I am cheering for ISu to win this game to help KU out in the standings, but I think it will very very hard. Until ISU proves thay can beat a team with big strong post players I will pick Texas.
This thread went well.

Will people please stop predicting home losses now? Only reason to predict a home loss is if we are playing KU or some other nationally elite team from another conference.

List of most popular species
This is a list of the most popular species (phenotypes) in the furry fandom, according to various sources. This data is by no means authoritative or complete, and should be used as a guideline only. The lists have been cropped to the top 30 results for brevity.
Notes and sources[edit]
WikiFur data[edit]
The February 2011 count uses WikiFur's species categorisation system to find which species are most popular amongst people who have WikiFur articles, under the assumption that it is a representative cross-section of the furry fandom at large. They are cross-referenced with the people category so that non-fursona characters are filtered out.
This study counts hybrid characters and groups similar species and sub-species together to get a more accurate number (e.g. species in the husky category are counted within the dog category instead as a standalone group).
The November 2007 count was conducted differently and is derived from the list of most linked to categories according to which character categories contain the most articles. It does not take into account hybrids and does not group related species (e.g. snowshoe hares are counted as a different species than hares, they are not grouped together).
Furry Research Center data[edit]
Data provided by the Furry Research Center was sampled from the first 5000 respondents to the 2008 version of the Furry Survey. Of those, 3785 provided an answer for the question "If you identify with a particular animal, which one is it?"
Some species were split into subcategories. Dogs, for example, could be selected by particular breed; this division leading to an under-representation of dogs in general in the results.
The published results are available on the Furry Research Center website.
Pounced.org data[edit]
This information is derived from Pounced.org's statistics page before it was removed (archive). Pounced.org uses a set species list which users choose from, thus the presence of "Other" on the results.

The most amazing sun screen I have every used. The smell and texture is heavenly and vegan friendly. The Coconut makes my skin baby soft and work wonders as a makeup primer. The product is a must have.
Say Y.E.S. to S.P.F.
'We love the sun's warmth and beauty but we don't love its damaging rays. No, ma'am. The truth is, the leading cause of aging in the skin is sun damage, so that "healthy looking tan" is actually giving you not-so-attractive wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. And did you know that tanning is the effect of your skin defending itself against UV rays? That means you're rich, bronze glow is actually rich, bronze damage. No wonder sun protection is so important.
MyChelle has an array of über-safe, natural sun protectants that will guard against both UVA and UVB rays. Titanium Dioxide and clear Zinc Oxide offer clean, broad-spectrum defense that helps prevent the signs of aging, and research has even shown that Zinc Oxide can shield against ultraviolet rays as well. What's more, our products have soothing Aloe to ease signs of redness and irritation before they have a chance to occur, and restorative algaes reduce sun-induced inflammation while replenishing oils hydrate and relieve your skin.
Our sun protectants should be reapplied every 2 hours or as needed, and really, it's best for you to just avoid peak hours of the sun. But before we forget, we do offer one super sunny alternative to tanning: MyChelle's Del Sol Sunless Tanner. Now you can have that glowing, sun-kissed look without putting your health at risk.

The much anticipated opening of the new Children's Museum of Sonoma County (CMOSC) will take place March 29th in Santa Rosa. Collette Michoud, CEO and founder of the museum, told the Examiner today that the highly interactive museum will open in two phases. The first phase features an outdoor play area with gardens as well as art and party rooms. The second phase is slated to open this winter and includes the indoor Science and Imagination Gallery and the TOTtopia Toddler Gallery.
Michaud gained inspiration for the museum from her children and visiting other children's museums. "We are overjoyed that, after nine years of planning, we are finally able to offer our community a Children's Museum in Sonoma County," said Michaud. "There is no greater feeling than hearing the joy of children learning through play right here at the museum."
The museum began as a travelling science exhibit called the Museum-On-The-Go which has been educating more than 15,000 children in schools and community centers and at private parties and public events. It continues to evolve along with the brick and mortar museum. The plan is to continue developing programs for the Museum-On-The-Go geared towards meeting the curriculum standards in schools.
The exterior exhibits at the new museum are representative of Sonoma County landscapes. Families will enjoy learning about our native habitats as they play and explore in a redwood grove, the Russian River, the wetlands and our beaches. PG&E has donated a hydroelectric exhibit that has children thirsting for knowledge. Just past the farmer's market stand and the tractor with a playing platform is a gigantic turtle that is also a compost bin to stimulate curiosity. The art studio and party room offer indoor activities and are open with the phase one launch.
The 8.3 million dollar museum was funded through a generous lease of the land and buildings for 30 years from Jean Schulz, a state parks and recreation grant, and a Finely Foundation Grant along with corporate and individual sponsorships and donations. A creative option of donating to the museum is the "Build a Bug" project. Your family can create a unique ceramic bug by pressing clay into a mold that will become a part of the art permanently displayed in the garden at the museum. Options range from $300 for a 3"-5" single bug on a leaf with up to ten characters imprinted on it to $1000 for a butterfly with a 9" wingspan and up to thirty characters imprinted on it. A limited amount of bugs is available.
Annual memberships are available for the whole family starting at $90 and the CMOSC is currently offering 18 months for the price of 12 until June. CMOSC members can visit the Museum for exclusive member-only mornings on Sundays 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The new museum is located at1835 West Steele Lane in Santa Rosa next to the Charles M. Schulz Museum. From March 29 to May 30, CMOSC will be open to the public Fridays 9 am - 1 pm, Saturdays 9 am – 5 pm and Sundays 12 pm – 5 pm, weather permitting. Admission to the museum is $7 per person. CMOSC requires that all children be accompanied by an adult and that all adults must be accompanied by a child.

College Hockey:Weekend work-up: Nov. 19, 2012
This was a strange weekend. Three things that strike me as interesting about it:
1. The number of times you shoot the puck may count for something. In Ohio State's sweep of Northern Michigan, the Buckeyes outshot the Wildcats 77-34 and allowed only 12 shots on goal during Saturday's 4-2 win. Alabama-Huntsville notched its first win of the season, 2-1, against Lake Superior State in Sault Ste. Marie Friday night, outshooting the Lakers 35-20. In their 6-1 Friday win over the Broncos, the Nanooks outshot Western Michigan 32-17. Not every winner in the CCHA out-gunned opponents by a lopsided margin, but the Buckeyes, Chargers and Nanooks were underdogs in those series.
2. Six points is a lot. The Buckeyes doubled their CCHA point total with their sweep of the Wildcats, jumping from a tie for ninth place last week — one position out of the CCHA cellar — to their current solo spot in fifth. Two other teams, Notre Dame and Ferris State, also swept their opponents. They were tied for third last week with Lake Superior State and Michigan State, but this week share the second-place spot with 15 points each and a little — a very little — distance now between themselves and third-place Alaska. These sweeps early in the season will be significant later if the season continues to be one in which teams split points in nearly every series.
3. The Wolverines have developed an ability to self-destruct in third period. This is an interesting thing to me because Michigan is still the only CCHA team to be among the top 10 scoring teams in the country and because the 2011-12 Wolverines were sitting near the bottom of the CCHA standings at midseason and still made the national tournament. While the Wolverines didn't start well against the Spartans in their Nov. 10 game, UM lost any chance of recovery in that game when MSU scored two goals before the midway mark of the third. In the third period Thursday night against the Irish with the score tied 1-1, the Wolverines made two mistakes that led to ND goals late in the stanza. In Friday's 4-1 ND win, the score was tied 1-1 going into the third — again — and the Irish turned up the heat, scoring three goals in the last nine minutes of the game.

For anyone that has ever worked in a school, whether as a teacher, an assistant, or just closely with kids at all, the book "32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny: Life Lessons from Teaching" will really hit home.
Phillip Done has hit the nail on the head with his honest humor and one hundred percent accurate portrait of third grade children. You will soon find out, if you didn't already know; they won't listen during class but will hear anything you try to whisper, won't remember their spelling words but will remember every detail of their teacher's life, and that class pets will always escape. His accounts of Valentine parties, class pets, story times and the end of the year are hilarious for anyone who has ever experienced them.
Done's love for children and passion for teaching comes through as he relives a year with one of his classes. Even as he is complaining it is clear to see he loves every minute of his job and you will love reading about everything that can, and will, go wrong when it comes to teaching.
This is a must read for anyone that works with kids.

The ganja gods are at play once again! The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks will meet in the 48th Super Bowl on February 2nd. What makes this game particularly intriguing -- and will be noted by sportswriters countless times in the hype leading up to the Big Game -- is that the Broncos and Seahawks both hail from the only states that permit adult, recreational use of marijuana.
Not that it makes that big a difference. The NFL is staunchly opposed to pot use by players and individual teams have their own strict policies, as evidenced by New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick warning to his team prior to his playoff loss against the Broncos. Running back LeGarrette Blount said Belichick addressed the team about smoking pot in Denver. "Bill told us about it. He basically told us, 'Don't go out there and be stupid.'"
(Considering the beatdown they received at the hands of Peyton Manning and the Broncos, maybe pot would have helped.)
There's no chance of any legal pot use by players at this year's game. It's being played at MetLife Stadium, the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets, located in New Jersey. Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is currently under intense scrutiny for allegedly creating a massive traffic jam in the town of a political opponent as political retaliation, has been adamantly opposed to medical marijuana in NJ, despite laws that have been on the books for four years. As for New York City, which will serve as Super Bowl headquarters, both medical and recreational pot are illegal.

Date: November 10 2012
LONDON: In the winter of 1942 only the striking beauty of the young Indian woman reading a book on a London park bench in her lunch hour would have seemed exceptional.
A statue has now been unveiled by Princess Anne near the bench, commissioned by a small group determined that the extraordinary story of Noor Inayat Khan, a gentle artistic intellectual who became a secret agent in occupied France and died aged 30 in Dachau concentration camp, should not be forgotten.
''The family is pleased - of course - honoured and touched,'' said Khan's cousin, Mahmood Khan van Goens Youskine, who came from his home in the Netherlands for a ceremony attended by relatives, friends, supporters and veterans from Germany, France, Russia and the United States. ''This is a beautiful place to remember her story.''
He was a boy of 12 when he last saw his cousin, but he remembers her vividly.
''She made a tremendous impression on everyone who met her. She was such an intelligent, charming, dainty girl,'' he said, ''and so beautiful. She was her father's eldest child, and so much was expected of her.''
Khan was a musician and writer, daughter of an American mother and a renowned Indian Sufi philosopher father, Hazrat Inayat Khan, descended from the 18th-century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan.
She was born in Moscow, lived as a child in London and France, and by 1942 was living in Taviton Street, just off Gordon Square, and training as a secret agent known as Nora Baker.
In 1943 she was sent by the Special Operations Executive into Nazi-occupied France as a radio operator.
Her biographer, Shrabani Basu, recalled at the ceremony that the last time she left the house in Taviton Street, she was unable to tell her mother and sister that she would probably never see them again. In France she was betrayed, imprisoned, repeatedly interrogated, and finally shot in September 1944 with three other female agents at Dachau, where their ashes are lost among those of more than 30,000 others who died there.
She was posthumously awarded the George Cross, but the campaign for a permanent memorial, believed to be the first of an Asian woman in Britain, was launched by Basu.
The £60,000 ($92,000) cost of the sculpture by Karen Newman was raised by a small group with the backing of the Prime Minister, David Cameron, and MPs including Glenda Jackson. University College London, which owns the square, and the local authority, Camden Council, gave permission for the memorial to be sited where Khan spent some rare happy hours of leisure.
Music composed by Khan as a teenager and by her brother Hidayat Inayat-Khan was performed at the unveiling ceremony, and a message from him was read by his grandson Omar. It said: ''Her family hopes her story will now be better known, but they have never forgotten her.''
Her cousin said: ''It was an absolute question of conscience and conviction for her. She could not do otherwise with such a shadow hanging over Europe.
''Even when she knew she had been betrayed she refused to leave France until they could get another wireless operator in. When she attempted to escape from prison, she was asked to give her word that she would not try again, but she would not and so she was held in chains.
''Her brother came through the war, and has lived to be a very old man, into his 90s. And every day of his life the thought of his sister and her fate has come into his mind.''

Letter from New York, 12-22: From East Village to Harlem
Alpine Antics from Elkins; Sacred Profanity from Jones
By Gus Solomons jr
Copyright 2006 Gus Solomons jr
NEW YORK -- Doug Elkins, noted for wittily blending modern dance with popular social forms on his concert dance company from 1988 to 2002, made a comeback of sorts on December 8 and 9, produced by Dancenow/NYC's DancemOpolitan at Joe's Pub series. In the intimate café/restaurant at the Public Theater in New York, on a stage about the size of a large dining table, Elkins and a dozen co-conspirators presented "Fraulein Maria," a brisk, hour-long cabaret that re-imagines in post-modern hip-hop the recorded soundtrack of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music."
As pub patrons brunch on salad and quiche for the Saturday afternoon show, Arthur Aviles and Jen Nugent -- both wearing powder-blue frocks and aprons -- sweep in through the crowd, both impersonating Maria Von Trapp, to the Prelude and title song. Four nuns (Carolyn Cryer, Krista Jansen, Alexis Murphy, and Charemaine Seet) -- their habits hoody sweat shirts (it's a low budget show!) -- cavort in brisk movement canons to "Morning Hymn" and "Maria."
Then, Nugent and Nicole Walcott turn the banquette railing into the Alps, inching precariously along amidst the diners and climbing onstage to dance "I Have Confidence," Nugent helping Walcott to emerge from her inhibited shell. In "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," David Parker in a cocktail dress pretends to read a book, while secretly eyeing 6'4", hunk-alicious Archie Burnett, who vogues seductively for 'her' benefit.
"Do-Re-Mi" interweaves snappy phrases -- one per note -- into a seriously concert-worthy caper for Nugent, Aviles, and the four nuns. On the impossibly miniature stage the six fling limbs, cartwheel, and squat-spin with reckless abandon and nary a collision -- though I noticed one gentleman at a ringside location discreetly shift his wine bottle away from the stage.
Golden-throated baritone Johnnie Moore, clad in traditional Swiss knee socks, lederhosen, and Tyrolean hat croons "Edelweiss" as Mark Gindrick, one of the trio Happy Hour Clowns, wanders myopically. The pair returns for a hilarious a cappella sing-along reprise of "Do-Re-Mi." Tuxedoed Moore is Astaire-elegant singing it live, and -- swimming in an oversized tailcoat -- Gindrick, as a dogmatic conductor, silences an off-key audience member.
Keely Garfield and Elkins dance a perfunctory duet to the title song, their comic timing mitigating the thin choreography. But Elkins redeems himself miming the anthem "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" in deadpan, free-style hip-hop, laced with voguing.
"So Long, Farewell," the inevitable full-cast finale/curtain call, draws enthusiastic cheers of appreciation from the capacity crowd, and the performers leave so the stoic wait staff can continue their food service without careening dancers in the aisles.
In contrast to Elkins's on-a-shoestring "Fraulein" is Bill T. Jones's site-specific pageantry. His new "Chapel/Chapter" reminds us again, after last season's "Blind Date," that Jones is not afraid to face big issues head on. The 70-minute dance-theater work, co-commissioned by Harlem Stage/Aaron Davis Hall, had its premiere at the new Gatehouse performance space, adjacent to Aaron Davis, on December 5-9.
Inside this lofty Romanesque-revival edifice, originally part of the New York water distribution system, Jones's creative director Bjorn G. Amelan created a cathedral-like sanctuary by draping the walls with red fabric and surrounding the oblong performing area with two banks of church pews for seating. On the white floor -- the "nave" -- is a grid, resembling a huge shuffleboard court with ten 6' squares in two rows of five with a half circle at one end. The floor doubles as a projection screen for associate artistic director Janet Wong's intriguing video projections of butterflies, street maps, and a hopscotch diagram.
As the audience enters the performance space, dancers in orange jumpsuits wander aimlessly around the grid with eyes closed, as four guards in blue keep them from breaching the perimeter. The ritual hints at the sacred, even though, ironically, the participants are dressed like criminals.
"Chapel/Chapter" interweaves three stories, two gleaned from court records and one contributed by one of Jones's dancers, Charles Scott, who acts as the Narrator. The account of the vicious mass murder of the Soto family is told through actual court transcripts; the death of an abused child at the hands of her father is told by the alleged abuser (actor Andrea Smith), who claims the girl's death was accidental. The third, Scott's story, concerns two 11-year-olds on a camping trip, one of whom comes to an indeterminate fate -- we assume the worst.
Ambivalence persists throughout the dance. As the mass murder of the Soto family -- Mr., Mrs., and two children (Scott, Leah Cox, Asli Bulbul, and Donald C. Shorter, Jr.) -- by the killer (Wen-Chung Lin) is re-enacted, the killer's voice in the transcript (spoken by Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding) tells how he placed a pillow under Soto's broken rib, so he'd be more comfortable while being suffocated with a plastic bag over his head.
Such humanizing details force us against our will to see the compassion of the killer, even as he commits senseless murders for a sexual thrill. When the scene is later repeated more lyrically -- this time with soprano Alicia Hall Moran chanting the transcript in the manner of a plain song -- the pure movement takes on an eerie beauty, despite what it depicts. Jones subverts the violence by turning it abstract, making our moral censure less unconditional.
Similarly, we feel some degree of pity for the Father (Smith) of the Little Girl (Maija Garcia), when he first tells his side of the story, wishing he'd simply taken her to the authorities and left her, rather than striking her impulsively. But during his angry and accusatory recapitulation we see his monstrous side. And what's the responsibility of the Little Girl's Mother (Shayla-Vie Jenkins), who passively stands by as her daughter is abused?
Scott's childhood recollection is even more ambiguous; as a young boy, he didn't have the wisdom to know how to save his friend, if indeed he could have. His crime may have been never to have mentioned the incident, keeping his involvement in it a secret for 18 years. But can we hold him morally responsible for a crime?
These deeply affecting moral hypotheses are brought to virulent life by Jones's genius for staging, his curiosity about profound issues of humanity, and his innovative methods for extracting endlessly inventive movement from his brilliant dancers, like having them spell words with different body parts on an imaginary keyboard. The resulting warped shapes and strange floor scrabbling phrases are at once visually abstract and emotionally specific.
A haunting score by Daniel Bernard Roumain, performed with Moran, Redding, and electronic cellist Christopher Antonio William Lancaster transports us into Jones's world. Touring "Chapel/Chapter" may be logistically difficult, since it can accommodate such a small number of viewers at a time. But -- morally -- Jones owes it to humanity to bring this thoughtful, beautifully wrought work to the widest possible audience.

Summer is here! And so is sandal weather and time at the beach. So it is only natural to want to beautify your feet (and the rest of you) for such a wonderful season. After playing around on Pinterest, I came across this amazing sugar cookie foot scrub by Craftgawker.com, and had to try it out. It is one of the most amazing DIY beauty recipes I have found yet! Who says playing around in the kitchen has to be just for food?
You can use this not only as a foot scrub, but also as a full body scrub and facial. I recommend using the cookie scrub 1-3 times a week (but not 3 days in a row). You can use it for yourself and your family, but is also a great gift for the ladies in your life as well.
If you want a snack afterwards, try making brown sugar honey toast or tortillas. Place butter and brown sugar on bread and broil in the oven for a few minutes. Then add honey and enjoy!
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Sugar Cookie Scrub
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together your sugar.
2. Add in the olive oil and vanilla extract. Mix together with a fork.
3. Place into a mason jar or other tupperware.
Time: About 15 minutes
Serving: fills about one small full Mason jar

Frida Gustafsson Spang named C-USA Co-Golfer-of-the-Week
Oct. 3, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina freshman Frida Gustafsson Spang was named Conference USA Co-Golfer-of-the-Week after claiming medalist honors at the 2012 UNCG Starmount Forest Tournament the league office announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Kinna, Sweden native won her first collegiate tournament with a school-record 7-under par 206 and helped No. 20 ECU (24-5) to a third place finish, its second top-five team placement of the young season.
Gustafsson Spang, who played as the Pirates' No. 1 golfer, led wire-to-wire carding an opening round 66 (4-under/ 33-33) posting the second-lowest 18-hole score in school history. She followed that with a one-under 70 (35-35) to close out Monday and then posted another one-under 70 (35-35) to win the event by six strokes.
During the first day of the event (36 holes), she recorded 10 birdies, an eagle and 19 pars. Gustafsson Spang led all golfers in par-4 scoring (4-under), par-5 scoring (6-under) and birdies (13). She became the ninth golfer in school history to claim medalist honors and did so in just her second collegiate event.
Gustafsson Spang and the Pirates will be back in action on Monday, Oct. 8 when they play host to the 2012 Lady Pirate Intercollegiate, which will be held at the Greenville Country Club.

Statement by
Ambassador Amos Radian
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It has never been more imperative for the international community to refocus its efforts on sustainable development. The ongoing economic crisis is causing more and more people each day to live in poverty, and the prices of simple staples such as food and oil are rising. Given the onset of climate change, desertification, and the world population reaching 7 billion, we cannot continue down the current path of recklessly using and depleting our limited natural resources.
A book of Jewish teachings from the 13th Century reads: "Righteous people do not waste in this world even a mustard seed. They use all their strength to save everything possible from destruction." Given this moral imperative, Israel remains at the forefront of developing innovative technology and ideas that spur the advent of sustainable development around the world.
Mr. Chairman,
Israel lacks natural resources, and 60 percent of its land is desert. For decades, Israel has been at the forefront of developing revolutionary methods to conserve energy.
The rising price of oil is inseparable from the onset of poverty and rising food prices, and is greatly felt in developing countries. Research has shown that the poorer the country, the greater the problems felt by rising oil prices, as even a small price increase can disrupt normal routine.
Israel is committed to reducing its dependence on oil and promoting the production of energy from renewable sources, particularly from one of its most abundant resources, the sun. Accordingly, the roofs of most homes in Israel are fitted with solar panels, which satisfy 4 percent of the country's total energy demand and save Israel 2 million barrels of oil a year. Solar hot water systems are used by over 90% of Israeli homes. This past summer, the government of Israel proposed that at least 10 percent of Israel's electricity come from renewable sources by 2020.
Water management is a crucial component to combating desertification and ensuring sustainable development. Too many people in the world, including in Israel, live on land that is considered dry or of low-productivity. Because of this, about 74% of waste-water in Israel is recycled.
In a country characterized by such scant land resources, Israel's Ministry of Environmental Protection has undertaken a policy founded on integrated waste management, and is committed to reaching its target of zero land-filling by 2020, through reducing, reusing, and recycling waste.
Mr. Chairman,
My country's dedication to sustainable development is widespread.
Just last week, a Group Expert Meeting on "Using Green Agriculture to Stimulate Economic Growth and Eradicate Poverty was held in Israel. More than 70 participants, including high-level officials from 28 member States, national and international agriculture experts, and representatives of UN system agencies attended. This meeting constitutes an important contribution to the preparations for Rio+20, as it explored how green and sustainable agriculture can contribute to a green economy. It also addressed the importance of sustainable agriculture in ensuring food security, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and stimulating economic growth in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
The private sector in Israel also recognizes the tremendous economic promise of green innovation and investment, and is committed to partnering with the government to achieve sustainable development goals. In this regard, there are over 100 companies in Israel providing solutions in the renewable energy field.
Noting that Israel's sun-drenched desert is an ideal location to set a new paradigm for energy deployment, the Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative has been working toward creating an energy independent region in the Negev - the first in Israel and in the world. The Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative holds an annual conference in Israel, which was attended by nearly 2,000 leading figures in the field of renewable energy this year.
Mr. Chairman,
It is an unfortunate fact that those countries that contribute the least to climate change are the most vulnerable to its negative consequences. Because of this, Israel is dedicated to ensuring that the long-term international goals of sustainable development are reached.
Green investment yields double dividends, as it is a driver for long-term economic growth. Through its innovative agricultural technologies and efforts to promote renewable energy sources, Israel has experienced firsthand the benefits of moving toward a green economy. Israel looks forward to the upcoming Rio +20 Conference on Sustainable Development, where the international community will work together to achieve imperative sustainable development goals.
Thank you.

What a night! A sold-out crowd saw Paul McCartney say goodbye to San Francisco's Candlestick Park Thursday with a very special royal sendoff that included rarely played songs and some very rare Beatles photos.
The weather was surprisingly good and temperatures didn't get to the bone-chilling cold level the 'Stick was famous for. Many concertgoers, however, wore warm coats just in case. A few celebrities were seen in the crowd. They included California Gov. Jerry Brown, who reportedly left before the show ended, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California), San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, actor Mike Myers and Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.
Before the show, fans Leslie Sampson and her mother, along with Aid Still Required CEO Hunter Payne, met McCartney backstage. Sampson was the grand prize winner in a contest sponsored by ASR. Payne told Beatles Examiner McCartney was "incredibly gracious" in talking with the two women.
As usual, the concert pre-show included Beatles graphics on the two giant video screens surrounding the stage and several very interesting cover versions of Beatles songs. When Paul came out on stage, the crowd stood and roared and many of them stayed standing throughout the three-hour show.
McCartney and the band were incredibly energetic, with the three guitarists kicking up their feet and dancing up a storm. McCartney was in excellent voice. He sounded superb all night.
The set list has a couple of changes for the Candlestick celebration. After playing "Yesterday" in the second encore, McCartney made mention that he would repeat the final song the Beatles played at Candlestick Park in 1966. He did just that a raucous version of "Long Tall Sally."
During the song, the on-stage graphics included some unreleased photos by legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall on the screen behind the players. Marshall was the only photographer to be granted complete access to photograph The Beatles' last ever concert. McCartney was granted exclusive use of the images for this show, according to his press office. The photos will be included in a new book on Marshall's work, "The Haight: Love, Rock and Revolution" by Joel Selvin that will be be released Oct. 14.
McCartney also played "I Saw Her Standing There" in the first encore instead of "Get Back" that was played at the previous show in Phoenix. McCartney also made reference to having a final party at Candlestick more than once.
The concert wasn't without its problems, though. Because of the poor transit access that forced many people to drive to the stadium, some fans had trouble getting into the show and were stuck in slow-moving traffic going endlessly around the stadium. Many people were forced to give up and go home without getting in at all. Inside, the rows were packed tight.
Security didn't do much checking on the way in. There was one unconfirmed report that $20 was a way to get in without a ticket. Inside the stadium, the event staff allowed people to stand in the aisles continually during the show without being asked to move.

Recreational Water Illness
August 24, 2006
Swimming is one of the most popular activities in the country - especially during these hot summer days. We often assume that because swimming pools are treated with chemicals they are completely safe. But is that really true? UT Health Center's Dr. Mom has more.
Choose to Swim Healthy!
In these dog days of summer, swimming pools will be filled with millions of people having fun and staying cool. But did you know that germs can contaminate swimming water even if it is treated with chlorine? Recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are spread by swimming in contaminated recreational waters such as swimming pools, water parks, lakes, and the ocean.
RWIs are caused by germs like "Crypto" (KRIP-toe, short for Cryptosporidium), Giardia (gee-ARE-dee-uh), E. coli 0157:H7, and Shigella (Shi-GE-luh) and are spread by accidentally swallowing water that has been contaminated with fecal matter. How does a pool get contaminated? You share the water with everyone in the pool. If someone with diarrhea contaminates the water, swallowing the water can make you sick.
The great news is that germs causing recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are killed by chlorine. However, chlorine doesn't work right away. It takes time to kill germs and some germs can live in pools for days. Some germs like Crypto can live for several days in the best-maintained pool. Chlorine does kill all germs, it just takes time.
Healthy swimming behaviors that will protect you and your kids from recreational water illnesses and stop germs from getting in the pool in the first place are:For all swimmers:
- Please don't swim when you have diarrhea. This is especially important for kids in diapers. You can spread germs in the water and make other people sick.
- Please don't swallow the pool water. In fact, avoid getting water in your mouth.
- Please practice good hygiene. Take a shower before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water.
- Please take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear "I have to go" may mean that it's too late.
- Please change diapers in a bathroom and not at poolside. Germs can spread to surfaces and objects in and around the pool and spread illness. Always use "swim diapers" for babies and toddlers.
- Please wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming. Everyone has invisible amounts of fecal matter on their bottoms that ends up in the pool.

Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Adapted from The Joy of Cooking
I am not sure if my last, overly-confident post about how to get pancakes right every single time came back and bit me in the, uh, griddle, but I seemed to have one mishap after another–burning, sticking, dark but raw in the middle–before I begrudgingly switched to a nonstick. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I did with the pan of your choice, but if you have a nonstick, well, it might be worth it to just use that first.
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cups finely chopped walnuts (optional)
1/3 cup dried currants, plumped (optional)
2 large egg whites
Pure maple syrup or honey, or plain yogurt (optional, for serving)
Lightly butter, oil, or spray your griddle–nonstick works best with these, if you have them–if needed, and preheat it over medium heat. If you are using an electric griddle, preheat it to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F if you do not plan to serve the pancakes hot off the griddle.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon or nutmeg and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cottage cheese, butter, egg yolks and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently whisk them together, mixing just until combined. Stir in the walnuts and/or currants, if using them.
Beat the two egg whites until they are stiff but not dry and fold them into the batter.
The batter will be thick and bubbly – similar to cake batter. Spoon 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake, nudging the batter into rounds. These are thick and might take a little longer to cook than most other pancakes. Cook until the top of each pancake is starting to dry around the edges – you will get a few bubbles here and there – then turn and cook until the underside is lightly browned. These will keep in a 200 degrees F oven while you finish making the rest, but they are best served immediately, when they are at their lightest and puffiest.

Ken Johnson has been tailgating at Buffalo Bills games for over two decades. He's built an international reputation by grilling food on the hood of his red 1980 Pinto and offering passerby free shots of Polish cherry liqueur out of the thumbhole of a bowling ball. But he'll have to move to another parking lot now because the NFL has deemed what he does "an adults-only, R-rated experience."
Jeffrey Miller, NFL director of strategic security programs:
The NFL absolutely embraces and supports tailgating. And we also support the responsible use of alcohol. We want people to come and have fun and enjoy themselves and have a great time with friends and family. But we don't want to make it an adults-only, R-rated experience. We want it to be something that's inclusive to everybody.
So, why not let the kids take bowling ball shots too? It's Buffalo, they're practically in Canada anyways. Fine, give them a little cherry nyquil or shirley temple shots. Johnson has gone to every Bills game, home and away since 1994. Considering the Bills haven't made the playoffs since 1999, and haven't had a winning season since 2004, they should let him stay in the parking lot even if he's cooking meth in that Pinto.
Miller also moaned that people could potentially get hurt because they traditionally drop the bowling ball after taking their shot of Polish cherry liqueur. (Liqueur! It's a cordial, not tequila!) "People taking shots out of a bowling ball actually has the effect of repelling families," maintained mamby-pamby Miller.
Johnson is impressively taking the pariah treatment well. He's still driving to Green Bay for the Bills next game on Sunday. When the Bills return to Buffalo, he plans to just move to another parking lot across the street. Here's what he had to say to the AP:
It disappoints me that I have to move away from a lot where I've been for about 20 years, but I saw it coming a long time ago. I have known for a long time that they want to sanitize Lot 1 and turn it into a family lot. In my case, I do push the limits, so I can't scream too loudly. But you wonder how many people go to games because of characters like me. I think I add to the experience.
Damn you, No Fun League, damn you.Tweet

Shelli Yoder, 2016 Congressional Candidate Indiana District 9
Biography of Shelli Yoder from Shelli Yoder for Congress
[2012 Bio] A native Hoosier and successful professional, Shelli Yoder learned at an early age what it's like to work hard for a living. Shelli's grandfather was a milkman and her grandmother was a mechanic at the family gas station. As a child, Shelli and her sisters helped out at that gas station. And when the gas crisis of the late 1970s and recession of the early 1980s forced her parents to sell the family station, she watched her parents start-up and run another small business. Shelli learned first hand the value of perseverance through economic highs and lows. Still in high school, Shelli went to work stocking shelves at the town hardware store and built furniture at a local factory.
Putting these early lessons of perseverance to the test, Shelli would later work hard to become Miss Indiana so she could earn scholarship money to help pay her way through college.
After graduating from Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, she had the honor of serving as Miss Indiana in 1992. In this position Shelli traveled throughout all 92 Indiana counties advocating for better health and education opportunities for all Hoosier families. Wanting to give back in different ways and highly motivated, Shelli earned a Masters degree in Counseling & Human Services from Indiana University-South Bend and a Masters in Divinity from Vanderbilt University where she was recognized for outstanding achievement.
Following graduation Shelli married Josh Perry, a business law and ethics professor at IU. They have three young children – Ivy, Eden, and Oakley.
Shelli's work experience has been marked by a commitment to serving others. First as the director of a shelter for at-risk youth, and more recently as the executive director of a statewide coalition created to raise awareness and fight eating disorders, Shelli has a proven record of balancing budgets and forging partnerships to improve conditions in hurting communities. Today, she continues working for others as an Associate Director of Professional Development for Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, where she helps the leaders of tomorrow find jobs today.
Along each step of her educational and professional career Shelli has worked to improve the lives of others. She knows how to tackle tough issues, and she has a track record of achieving positive results. And Shelli knows how to listen. Hers is a brand of collaborative leadership that will bring a fresh voice to Congress. She's ready to fight for us, our families, and our communities, just like she always has.

Double action or single action. What is it?
Okay I have a wide variety of pistols and revolvers.
Correct me if I am wrong.
In order for a pistol to be classified as a double action it should be able to fire without the slide cycling.
Example: Unload your pistol - replace the magazine (unloaded) knowing the pistol is 100% unloaded and pull the trigger.
Then pull the trigger again without racking the slide.
If it does not cock the hammer to shoot without racking the slide it is a single action.
Then tell me why so many of the striker fired pistols are classified as double action and they will not cock the hammer without cycling the slide.
What am I missing here?

Trans Am will perform for the first time at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday, August 18 as part of the free Summer in the City concert series. We caught up with the Nathan Means about the band's one of a kind sound and their thoughts on playing at the Rock Hall for the first time.
Tell us about your band and who your musical inspirations are that influenced your sound?
We like a lot of music. There's no point in writing a list, but, say, Deep Purple, Autechre, Nice Nice, The Eagles, and Vangelis. That probably tells you almost nothing. How about this: We're three-piece that includes drums/drum machines/vocals, guitar/keyboards/bass/vocals, bass/keyboards/vocoder. So we get a lot of different sounds, but the music is especially good for exercising or driving on the highway. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know this and just seem to drink and yell during our shows. Those shows are high energy. Our drummer, Sebastian, is usually the most featured musician.
Anyway, Trans Am has been around since the mid-90s. I guess we are a "cult band" -- we were lucky enough to support ourselves off music for a long time, but we were never close to well known outside of few circles. We're originally from Maryland, but now live all over the place. In fact, I don't even know where our drummer lives now.
How do you feel about performing at the Rock Hall for the first time?
A few reasons I'm excited about playing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
1) We used to have a Cleveland connection: Phil (guitarist) went to Oberlin, we all saw an epic Man-O-War show there in 1994, and our friend Rick from Cleveland put out our first 12" many years ago. But since we stopped touring as much, we haven't played Cleveland in forever. Sorry.
2) My new favorite thing to watch is those weird Hall of Fame concerts where, say, Metallica is backing Lou Reed on "Sweet Jane."
3) Playing free, waterfront, outdoor festivals is fun. Hopefully, some people will be into it, some people will hate it, and some people will be confused. That's a lot to ask, though.
4) I'm a Washington Wizards fan, the team that used to regularly get knocked out of the playoffs by the Cavs. So, I'm excited to be in the new Ground Zero for LeBron hating. I've been hating him for years.
Where can people go online to find more information about Trans Am?
You can check out some actual music on the usual places like MySpace, or our label's site thrilljockey.com or our website, transband.com
I hope to see every single person who reads this post at the show!

I heard someone talking about how vector fields are the kernels of forms. Can someone give me a detailed explanation about how this works? Thanks.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You might also think about this: vector fields are in the dual space of forms. I'll exemplify this in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
A vector field is a function over a region of three dimensional space that gives at each point a vector. For a point $P=(x,y,z)$ let the the vector field $V$ associates to $P$ the vector $$ V(P) = v_x(P)i_x+v_y(P)i_y+v_z(P)i_z\in\mathbb{R}^3\text{ which is seen here as vector space} $$
The corresponding dual element for $V$ is a function over the region of three dimensional space which gives a linear functional at each point; i.e., $$ w(P) = w_x(P)dx+w_y(P)dy+w_z(P)dz $$ This is called a 1-form, a special case of a differential form. Thus a 1-form is a field of linear functionals.
If you're in $\mathbb R^n$ (or on a Riemannian manifold) the $1$-form $\omega = \sum F_i dx_i$ naturally corresponds to the vector field $F =(F_1,\dots,F_n)$.
But what I think you have in mind is to associate to $\omega(p)$ the hyperplane it annihilates, i.e., $V_p =\{v\in\mathbb R^n: \omega(p)(v)=0\}=\ker\omega(p)$. When $n=2$, this is a line field on the plane, and so, choosing, for example, a unit vector in each $V_p$ gives us a vector field.
I'm going to assume that you are working in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Given a vector space $V$ over $\mathbb{R}$, the dual space $V^*$ is defined to be the space of linear maps $V \to \mathbb{R}$ (check that $V^*$ is in fact a $\mathbb{R}$-vector space).
The vectors at a given point $p \in \mathbb{R}^n$ form a vector field $V_p \cong \mathbb{R}^n$, and a vector field $v$ is just a continuous choice of one vector in each $V_p$. Similarly, a one-form field $\lambda$ is a continuous choice of one vector in each dual space $V_p^*$. So, given a one-form field $\lambda$ and a vector field $v$, we can get an ordinary function as follows: $$ p \mapsto \lambda_p(v_p) \in \mathbb{R} $$

JALAN Bypass Stadion known as the Line 11 in Karangasem County now looks more beautiful. Along the road is decorated with 85 Sakura plants of 6 months old. "I have asked the Forestry and Agriculture Agency, Sanitation and Landscaping Agency and the Environment Agency to grow the cherry blossom," said the Regent of Karangasem, I Wayan Geredeg, in the mutual cleanup at the location, Friday (Jun 21).
Regent Geredeg said the Japan-Karangasem relation was formerly established in the form of sister city with the City of Kamakura and Kesenuma. Then, it was resumed with the Ehime County represented by the Japan Sakura Exchange Association (JSEA), a Cherry Blossom Lovers Group and Economic Group marked with the delivery of 300 grafted stems of cherry blossom.
Sakura flower in Japan, said Regent Geredeg, was a symbol of peace. On that account, it was expected the inspiration of peace also affected Karangasem through the representation of the cherry blossom planting. "The cherry blossoms were planted in the area of Besakih Temple and the stadium road denoting the gift from the Japan Sakura Exchange Association (JSEA)," he said.
In Karangasem, 300 grafted stems of cherry blossom had been planted. Fifty stems were planted in the UPTD Rendang, 150 stems at Mekar Nadi Farmer Group at Palak hamlet, Besakih, 125 stems at the Jungutan Farmer Group, Bebandem subdistrict, 25 stems at various locations such as the Taman Ujung, Tirta Gangga and the road section leading to the stadium. "Japanese side will monitor the growth and development of this cherry blossom planting," added Regent Geredeg. (BTN/015)
