The topic of the militarization of law enforcement has come to the fore of late, with the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the hyper-aggressive police response to community outrage about the shooting. Even the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), so fawningly supportive of unlimited government power as to claim no right to armed resistance against a government that rounds up citizens to be sent to concentration camps on the basis of race or religion, has complained about the militarized police response in Ferguson. Odd, given the fact that their executive director Josh Horwitz has also warned us to "not put too much on the militarization of law enforcement."
The new scrutiny on law enforcement personnel (who no longer seem interested in describing themselves as "peace officers") embracing a "warrior culture" outlook has stirred interest in a bill, H.R. 4934, the "Regulatory Agency Demilitarization Act," introduced by Congressman Chris Stewart (R-UT), to outlaw the evident epidemic of nearly every federal agency forming paramilitary SWAT-like teams of killers to enforce their regulations. There is also talk of altering, or even shutting down, the Department of Defense "1033" program, in which law enforcement agencies are given weapons, vehicles and other equipment that the military no longer needs. As the Las Vegas Review Journal notes, President Obama himself thinks this programs warrants a closer look:
President Barack Obama on Monday also suggested that a review of the federal program might be warranted.
"It's probably useful for us to review how the funding has gone, how local law enforcement has used grant dollars, to make sure that what they're purchasing is stuff that they actually need," Obama said at a news conference.
The article reports that Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has announced plans to review the program, which since the 1990s has funneled billions of dollars worth of hardware to law enforcement agencies all over the country.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, though, seems comfortable with police being armed with what we are so often told are "weapons of war," that belong on the battlefield, and "not on our streets."
Whether we should allow surplus equipment from the military to go to police departments, I say yes," Reid, D-Nev., said in a televised interview this week. "We have police departments all over the country including those in Nevada who are desperate for more resources, and the mere fact you have the equipment doesn't mean you have to use it.
"It's not a question of the equipment, it's what they do with it," Reid said.
Hmm . . . "not a question of the equipment, it's what they do with it." That sounds a great deal like what gun rights advocates have been saying for years in response to proposals to ban so-called "assault weapons," "high capacity" magazines, etc. The gun ban zealots' response to that is to argue that the only purpose of such armament is to "kill a large number of people in a short amount of time." But wait a second--I thought "it's not a question of the equipment," but of what we do with it (and just what legitimate law enforcement mission is served by the ability to "kill a large number of people in the shortest possible amount of time," anyway?).
The Review-Journal article notes that Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV) is also not too upset about police departments equipped with such firearms, as long as they refrain from using them to terrorize the people:
Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., said having the weapons is one thing, but it is quite another to "turn them on innocent protesters who were using their First Amendment right to express their outrage at an unarmed boy being shot down and left for dead for hours in the neighborhood where he grew up."
Oddly, though, Horsford told the Las Vegas Sun that he wants semi-automatic, detachable magazine-fed rifles kept out of "our neighborhoods":
"I have always spoken clearly, regardless of what area of the district I'm in, that as a parent of three kids and as a person who lost my father to a gunshot, I believe that military-style weapons should not be in our neighborhoods. I have not changed that view," Horsford said.
So if he doesn't mind cops having "assault weapons," but does not want to allow such firearms "in our neighborhoods," does he propose to ban police from our neighborhoods?
Both Reid and Horsford appear to be arguing that the fact that sometimes law enforcement agencies do indeed abuse the power of certain firearms should not mean that agencies that do not engage in such abuses be forced to get by with lesser guns. Does the same logic somehow not apply to the rest of us?

This is so bizarre it's awesome!
The colouring caught my eye straight away, it gives off a really fresh and clean feel about it. Like the place where they are is just heaven on Earth. You get the vibe that it's a real nice day and the water's warm ect... Awesome.
Now the Squid thing is just plain weird. I love it. Song is hilarious and the girl's expression is priceless. It makes this piece.
I think I can relate to her confusion (never experienced this scene before mind) and it's that which makes this piece brilliant. She seems to be enthralled, it's great!
What. The. Hell.

Forgot what that damn squid is called..

The Stanford Financial saga continues. It's been interesting and I've dropped everything several times in the past two weeks to read and post breaking news on Biz Buzz about the SEC's fraud allegations against R. Allen Stanford, Jim Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt. But there is also a big chunk of heartache and agony involved.
We've talked about the investor agony. In Mississippi alone, the Secretary of State's office says 4,524 Mississippians have accounts with Stanford, with assets of almost $391 million.
As of Friday, much of the money was still frozen by the court-appointed receiver, leaving a lot of investors in the lurch.
But what we haven't talked about are the Stanford employees. The point was driven home to me during a discussion I had with a friend about Stanford's situation.
She was quick to say that while the public is harping on the company for allegedly taking money from investors, not everyone in the company is at fault. Three people – Stanford, Davis and Pendergest-Holt – have been implicated.
Yet, the other employees are being hurt by their association with Stanford. As of Friday, Stanford's office in Fairpark was still closed. I don't have any idea if employees are getting paid, but I would bet more than a few are looking for other jobs.
It's a job hunt that won't be easy. Unemployment is near a record high. There are more workers than jobs. And, as my friend told me, the Stanford workers will have an extra hurdle to jump – the perceived taint on their work history because of their involvement with the now fallen Stanford Financial Group.
She's speaking from personal experience. She previously worked for a company that was mired in controversy a few years ago. She said she didn't hold any position of power and had nothing to do with the scandal.
Yet she found herself looking for a job. And she had to keep explaining her innocence to potential employers.
It's a situation that dampens my excited curiosity into the Stanford case because I know people who work in Stanford's Fairpark office. I've talked with them at Fairpark neighborhood meetings, interviewed them for financial stories, networked with them at Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association events and run into them at downtown restaurants.
They are real people who are hurt by something, we assume, they had nothing to do with. This was especially evident the day the charges were brought against the Stanford execs and the SEC with the help of the U.S. Marshals seized control of the Fairpark office.
I stopped by the office around 12:15 p.m. that day. As I talked with the SEC officials, I could see a usually effervescent Stanford employee I'd previously met. She looked like she was doing all she possibly could to not break down in tears. From her red eyes, it looked like she had lost the battle.
It's a sobering thought. But don't get me wrong. If I were a Stanford investor, I would be ticked off enough to show the temper usually associated with redheads. People could be out of a lot of money. Trust has been broken.
And now, it looks like more jobs are going to be lost.

Local Teen Raises Money for 21st Century Library
When Vanika Hans was given a school assignment to start a project that benefits the community, she didn't want to just go through the motions. "I didn't want to do it just for the requirement," she said, "but to actually help the community with something." Hans, a 17-year-old attending Discovery Canyon High School, knew she loved to dance and thought she could use that talent to organize a donation-based dance camp for children. She is a patron of both the Briargate and Monument libraries in Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) and thought that donating the money to help support the Library's new facility at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive would be a huge benefit to her community.
From June 19 through August 17, Hans taught two classes per week – one in the basement of her house and one at a local fire station. Hans said that she had about 25 students attend between the two classes and managed to raise $805 through her efforts to support the new library. Some of the parents work for FedEx and Verizon, and these companies were both willing to match the donations of their employees!
Hans presented her donation to the Library at the October 15 PPLD Board of Trustees meeting. Hans said she plans to keep teaching dancing to support herself in college, where she thinks she will pursue a degree in biochemical engineering.

Artist's rendering of the Hope Lodge
It is fitting that a company dedicated to producing products that recognize the worth of an individual would contribute to another project with the same mission. This is precisely what happened this week when O.C. Tanner made a donation of $1 million toward the Hope Lodge campaign by the American Cancer Society of Utah.
O.C. Tanner is characterized by the individual "employee recognition" industry it helped create as well as the individual medals for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and unique jewelry that graces the fingers and necks of people worldwide. "Human value is at the core and heart of what we do," says O.C Tanner CEO David Petersen who also serves on the Campaign Board for the Hope Project. He says this is a valuable project that fulfills a great need.
The generous donation gets the American Cancer Society of Utah closer toward its $18 million goal to get the Hope Lodge off the ground next spring. The facility will provide a home away from home, free of charge, for cancer patients getting treatment here in Salt Lake City. Individual patients are a top priority since the Hope Lodge expects to operate at 85 percent capacity 365 days of the year. Pam Higginson, Hope Lodge Campaign Director, says that personal space in rooms, kitchens and common areas will provide the opportunity for people to take care of their own individual needs.
While the Hope Lodge project moves forward toward ground breaking, the history of O.C. Tanner's involvement is very personal to the partnership. Higginson says that O.C. Tanner helped them launch this campaign a few years ago by assisting with the planning of last September's Hope Gala which raised awareness of the project in the community.
"We are so grateful for our partnership with O.C. Tanner," Higginson says. She stresses that O.C Tanner's contributions have not just been monetary, but have also been philanthropic by increasing awareness for the programs and services offered by her organization.

Written as a captivating narrative by Kathy Evans, the story of Roy Gill's life unfolds in vivid detail as he fondly recalls growing up on a small farm in northeastern Nebraska in the early 1900's.
Enlisting in the Coast Guard before Pearl Harbor, he served on convoy ships in the Atlantic and on LST's in the Pacific throughout WW2 and rose in rank from seaman apprentice to Commander. The full transcripts of his letters home reveal refreshing first person accounts of harbors and the open ocean during the wartime.
Although raised a Presbyterian, it wasn't until after his war experiences that he became a born again Christian. For the rest of his life, a strong faith in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ gave his life meaning and indelibly shaped his role as husband, father, and member of his community. At the close of the narrative he expounds on his Christian beliefs and his close relationship to God.
As an artist, I have explored and practiced many avenues of expression from painting, printmaking and ceramic tiles to graphic design. My current focus is book design, guiding authors to self publish and helping individuals capture their family's memories and history. Paula Gill

On the heels of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's veto of a bill designed to allow business owners to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) customers, California Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R - Kern County) has introduced new legislation to permit similar civil rights violations in our state.
The vetoed Arizona bill, SB 1062, allowed for anti-gay discrimination by businesses under the guise of "protecting" the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
According to New York Times reporter Fernanda Santos, SB 1062 "was inspired by episodes in other states in which florists, photographers and bakers were sued for refusing to cater to same-sex couples" because the business owners claimed that serving gay customers violated their religious beliefs.
However, the Arizona bill was written in broad language that would have legalized discrimination against any protected minority group.
For example, the legislation would have allowed landlords to refuse to rent to unmarried or mixed-race couples, or barbers to refuse to shave Jews and Muslims--as long as the business owners claimed to be acting out of religious belief.
Assemblywoman Grove's bill, AB 2237, is written in similar but even broader terms than those of the failed Arizona legislation.
AB 2237 is a proposal to amend California's Unruh Civil Rights Act to create an exemption "to protect the free exercise of religion."
The Unruh Civil Rights Act, enacted in 1959, prohibits discrimination by any public or private business establishment on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, genetic information, medical condition, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex (including gender identity and gender expression), and sexual orientation.
Grove's bill would essentially nullify Unruh by carving out an exception permitting businesses to deny service to any group the owners find objectionable, as long as those owners purport to be following their religious beliefs.
AB 2237 is expected to be heard in committee on March 25.
However, there is zero chance that this legislation will pass either the California Assembly or the state Senate--both of which are controlled by Democrats--let alone be signed by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown.
Given these political realities, not to mention the laughably broad language of the bill, it is doubtful that Grove expects AB 2237 to ever become law.
What is more likely is that Assemblywoman Grove is jumping on the anti-gay rights bandwagon to pander to her core constituents in the reliably Republican bastion that is the 34th State Assembly district, where Grove is running for a third term this year.
Then again, the Assemblywoman beat her 2012 Democratic opponent by almost 40 percentage points, so why would she need to fire up her base with craven legislation and fiery Facebook status updates about having the "uncommon courage" to "stand up for...God's Word, which is the only truth"?
Whatever Grove's reasons for grandstanding about her alleged civil right to violate the civil rights of LGBT Californians, it is fortunate that our state has the uncommon courage to protect the rights of all of its citizens.

The Paul Walker autopsy results have come in after the actor's untimely death on Nov. 30 when the sports car he was riding in crashed and exploded on a street in Santa Clarita, Calif. TMZ published results of Walker's autopsy Jan. 3 with details uncovered by the coroner.
Walker was reportedly in a "pugilistic stance" just before the car crashed -- as if he was "bracing" himself for the worst. Besides the actor's body being badly burned, he suffered multiple fractures that covered his body. Various parts of his anatomy were damaged -- including jaw, collarbone, and left arm. His ribs and pelvis were also fractured.
The report added that there was a "scant soot in Walker's trachea"...meaning he took a few breaths after the accident.
Preliminary results of the Walker autopsy in December stated that he died from thermal injuries. The final autopsy report documents that he died from "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries."
The L.A. County Coroner has portions of Walker's organs in a jar. Insiders have informed TMZ that this is done for a certain amount of time in case lawsuits arise.
As for Walker's friend and the one who was driving the car at the time they were both killed, Roger Rodas' autopsy results were included in the final Walker's. Rodas suffered major trauma of the head with the top section of his skull being fractured. His brains were reportedly protruding outside of his head.
There was no indication of alcohol or drugs in either one of the men from the fatal accident.
In other details released by the coroner, Walker had 14 percent carbon monoxide saturation in his blood stream and Rodas had 10 percent. The normal level is said to be two percent.
Another fact from the report described how the car went out-of-control. The report wrote that "after impact the car spun 180 degrees, struck a tree and nearly tore in half before exploding in flames."
The Paul Walker autopsy report further shows how violent of a crash the actor and his friend were in. It seems that Walker knew the car was about to wreck. Hopefully he had no idea how terrible it ended up being.

I guess I'm really not that smart
'Cause if I was, I would have seen it all form the start
You kept repeating, "I'm in love"
You just never said that it's not me you were thinking of
But now you're gone and I feel bad
'Cause you didn't care about me
Love is something we never had
'Cause you never cared about me
And there's a lesson that I've learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I guess, I'm really not that bright
'Cause if I was I would have seen you'd changes overnight
You came to me all nice and sweet
And I was dumb enough to throw myself at your feet
But now you're gone I feel betrayed
'Cause you didn't care about me
Thinking of all the games you played
'Cause you never cared about me
And you'll get burned like I got burned
I guess, I'm really not that smart
'Cause if I was I would have seen it all from the start
And now you're gone and I feel relieved
'Cause you didn't care about me
I can't believe I ever grieved
'Cause you never cared about me

Going on 22 weeks now, Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James is still in the #1 spot for the NY Times best selling Combined Print and E-book Fiction, followed by Darker and Freed. But the Fifty Shades trilogy bundle has tumbled out of the top 10 and is now at #16. Wonder if this means anything and it's of things to come?
Not even Danielle Steel, one of the queens of romance (although she doesn't consider herself a romance author) can unseat Fifty with her first week on the list with Friends Forever. Emily Giffin makes her first week appearance on the list at # 5 with Where We Belong.
Let's talk Indie and Self Published authors on the list:
Self published author Colleen Hoover, who now has sold Slammed and the sequel, Point of Retreat to Atria (a division of Simon and Schuester) is at #13 after 3 weeks on the list, and the sequel Point of Retreat is at #21. Jennifer Probst's The Marriage Bargain falls out of the top 10 and is at #17.
The very enjoyable and sex, Playing for Keeps by R.L. Matthewson keeps moving up the chart and is now a #20 and #17 for best selling e-book. I urge you you to buy this book as soon as you can because it won't be .99 cents for much longer. R.L. has stated that she's increasing the prices of all her books to $2.99 to supplement her costs and try and make a better living off her writing. I would pay $2.99 for her books and that's saying a lot coming from me. I wouldn't be surprised if she's the next self published author to broker a big publishing deal with a big 6 publisher.
Under best selling ebook sales, self published authors rule with:
Training Tessa by Lyla Sinclair at #26, Bedding the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello at #32.
FYI: Maid for the Billionaire, the first book in Ruth's Legacy Collection is now free to download on the Kindle! Go get it.
Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard is at #35 . Just like another piece of former erotic Twilight fan fiction *coughfiftyshadescough*, Gabriel's Inferno and the sequel, Gabriel's Rapture were bought for a 7 figure deal by Berkley with a 500,00 first print run, setting the stage for even more former erotic or BDSM centric Twilight fan fictions to be sold to a big 6 publisher. Look closely at the books published by Omnific (they publish many former Twilight fan fiction) to give you a good indication what book could be sold next.
Under the best selling USA Today books, The Fifty Shades trilogy still sits in the top 3 spots with a mixture of some of the top 10 from the NY Times and Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay and Catching Fire.
Notable Mention: This book may seem out of place here, but the title made me stop and do a double take. Wheat Belly by William Davis is a self help book about cutting back on wheat can help us live a healthier lifestyle and loose weight. For some reason the cover makes me crave a bagel and may defeat the purpose of this book.
Synopsis: A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems.
Are there any authors, specifically Indie or Self Published authors you have your eye on who may appear on one of these lists? Any good books to recommend?

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 14) - Shawnetta Stewart scored 11 points in a game-opening 29-7 run that led No. 9 Rutgers to a 90-47 win over Arizona in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The third-seeded Knights (28-5) shot 58 percent from the field, forced 26 turnovers and led by as many as 45 points in advancing to the Midwest Regional semifinal in Normal, Ill.
The 47 points were a season-low for sixth-seeded Arizona (18-11), which lost for only the third time in its last 12 games. The previous low was 48 against Nebraska.
Tasha Pointer had 18 points, and Stewart and Tomora Young added 16 apiece for Rutgers, which won for the 18th time in 20 games.
The point total was the least allowed by the Knights in their NCAA tournament history, covering 22 games. The 43-point margin of victory was their largest in the tournament.
Arizona of the Pac-10 never found an answer for Rutgers' 2-3 matchup zone,
either inside or outside.
Forward Angela Lackey, who scored a career-high 29 points as the Wildcats rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat Florida in overtime on Friday, had 12 on Sunday -most of them in the final minutes. Reshea Bristol, who had 20 points Friday, got just five Sunday.
Much like its first-round game against Dartmouth, Rutgers started quickly. Tammy Sutton-Brown converted a three-point play, and Pointer scored on a backdoor layup for a 5-0 lead after 54 seconds.
Lisa Griffith got Arizona on the scoreboard with a 3-pointer, but Sutton-Brown, who had 13 points and nine rebounds, put in a third-chance rebound and Young hit two baskets to push the lead to 11-3.
Leading 16-7, the Knights scored 13 straight points. Pointer put in a rebound and a wide-open 3-pointer to get it going, and Stewart finished it with two straight 3-pointers and a baseline jumper.
Rutgers led 41-22 at the half, and the Knights opened the second half with a 17-2 run, making 7-of-9 shots, including five straight.
Arizona, which had no seniors in the starting lineup, lost guard Felecity Willis to a shoulder injury with 9:58 to play. She had 8 points.

Championship Sunday has finally arrived for the NFL on Jan. 19. For the third straight year, the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers will take part in an AFC-NFC title game doubleheader. Yet the Patriots and 49ers have never won a conference title in the same year, and would both need to win in hostile road environments to finally meet in the Super Bowl.
The Patriots and 49ers would have met in the 2012 Super Bowl, had the 49ers not fallen to the New York Giants in overtime -- which ultimately came back to haunt the Patriots. Last season, it was the Patriots who failed to meet the 49ers in the Super Bowl, which paved the way for the Baltimore Ravens to knock off San Francisco.
This time around, New England and San Francisco have endured more hardship than usual to get this far. Of course, the Patriots had it harder with all their injuries and lucky victories, although the 49ers had a few swoons and have had to win on the road throughout January. However, winning in Seattle against the arch-rival Seattle Seahawks will be harder for the 49ers, while the Patriots get their toughest task against Peyton Manning and the hungry Denver Broncos.
Both the Patriots and 49ers are obvious underdogs, with the Broncos having lit up opponents most of the season and the Seahawks being virtually unbeatable in Seattle. While road teams have regularly pulled upsets in the NFL playoffs lately, this year's postseason has been the most conventional in years so far. The 49ers are the only low seed that's still alive, yet their 12-4 record makes them no ordinary fifth seed.
Considering the Seahawks' recent struggles and Manning's history of upset playoff losses, there is a window of opportunity for the Patriots and 49ers to pull road upsets. If they do, it will set up a Super Bowl pairing that's been three years in the making.
In that time, San Francisco and New England have actually met once, when the 49ers nearly blew a huge lead to the Patriots in Foxborough and still held on for a 41-34 win in Dec. 2012. Can New England finally get revenge with a championship on the line, or will one or both teams fall short on Championship Sunday yet again?

The International Society SAR (ITSSAR) was created in late 1999
as an administrative construct to handle several new members
(in Mexico, Australia, and Micronesia) who lived far from any
existing State Society. Someone had to receive and review their
applications, someone had to request dues annually, and someone had
to provide them with communications and represent their interests
so that they could be functional participants of the SAR.
In September of 2000 a set of Bylaws for the ITSSAR were approved by the NSSAR Executive Committee to provide an explicit authorization for the construct and to ensure that there would be experienced leaders. The Bylaws specify that the VPG of the International District will be ex-officio (by virtue of his office) the president of ITSSAR.
The ITSSAR consists of a few members spread out so widely that there is little chance for personal interaction. Consequently a "normal" organization, a "normal" constitution and bylaws, and a "normal" set of program elements are not feasible.
The ITSSAR nurtures and trains overseas members so that when there are fifteen resident members in a nation they will be well-prepared to petition the Trustees to form a normal State Society. Fr example, the ITSSAR provided a framework for recruiting members in Mexico and training trheir officers, resulting in a successfull petition in 2002 to become the Mexico Society.
Since the ITSSAR is an administrative construct for a small number of members who are widely-spread around the globe, it is not a regularly-constituted State Society, and it is not entitled to a Trustee, Alternate Trustee, or delegates at the Annual Congress. Members of the ITSSAR expect that at Trustees Meetings and the Annual Congress the best interests of the ITSSAR will be represented by the Vice President General of the International District.

I need some hints to solve the following:
A function $f(t)$ on an interval $I = (a,b)$ has the mean value property if $f(\frac{s+t}{2}) = \frac{f(s)+f(t)}{2}$ where $s,t\in{I}$. Show that any continuous function on $I$ with the mean value property is affine.
This problem is taken from Chapter 3, Section 4, Question 3 from Theodore Gamelin's Complex Analysis.

"Warning! Whispers of Love" is a yaoi anthology by Puku Okuyama. The first story deals with Hajime, who is being pursued by upperclassman Eiji. It turns out that he is in love with him and really wants to clean his ears. Another story deals with a guitarist who takes a college student as a roommate. The final story deals with a person who is jealous of his boyfriend's dog.
It's amazing that the author didn't try to devote an anthology to weird fetishes. It would've been really cool to see a story devoted to a foot fetish or a bandage kink. Ear Cleaning is odd, but it's thankfully nothing like Golden Showers. The story dealing with a person trying to come to terms with jealous feelings towards a pet should have ramped up the humor. It'd be pretty funny to have people point out how silly it is to be jealous of a dog. Still, Honolulu yaoi fans may like this manga.

Box Score
TUCSON--Megan Ciolli's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th gave Notre Dame a 3-2 victory over Auburn in the final Friday game of the Pepsi Arizona Softball Classic.
Auburn lost its first game of the year and dropped to 9-1. Notre Dame improved to 1-1.
Tie-breakerRules placed runner Alexis Madrid on second base. A sacrifice bunt by Jenny Kriech moved her to third and Ciolli lofted a fly to left deep enough for Madrid to easily beat the throw to the plate.
The Irish had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, but Adrian Bledsoe grounded out to end the threat. In the bottom of the ninth, Sara Dean's two-run single staked Auburn to a first-inning lead, but the Tigers couldn't get much going after that against Notre Dame starter Carrie Wisen and reliever Steffany Stenglein, collecting three more hits from the second through eighth innings.
Auburn pitcher Jen Lofton threw shutout ball for four innings until Notre Dame scratched out a run with a walk an an infield single in the fifth. Lisa Mattison walked and pinch runner Kas Hoag moved up on a ground-out. With two outs, Alexis Madrid beat out a throw on a chop single and Hoag scored from second.
Andrea Loman's one-out solo home run in the bottom of the sixth greeted Auburn reliever Kristin Keyes to tie the game at two apiece, wrecking Keyes bid for a save and Lofton's chance at the victory.

Has anyone tried GSE for hpv? I have read in some places either applying it topically or taking it in juice or some other liquid helps with warts and hpv. Any experience or info is appreciated.

never heard of it...but always curious to see if something works for others
|View More Posts Ignore
When I was first diagnosed, I did a TON of research and GSE was one of the supplements that was thought to help. I bought a bunch of supplements, including GSE. I took a lot of the supplements I bought on a regular basis, but I never ended up taking that one. I think because it could have interacted with a prescription medication.
I would recommend taking it for a while and seeing how things go. Good luck! :)

Excellent Point II
It should be on a proven course/venue. How many people would have like to raced states at the Boulder Velodrome Cross Course or Alpha Cross #1 course? Not whining about those races, I enjoyed them just not worthy venues for the State Championships. Was today's venue and course layout worthy? With or without a bit snow?
Points: 13
What makes a state course
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Weather makes it epic or crappy, depending on your perspective. IMO there are many more factors that make a course a state course for example
- amble parking, did they have it yes (better than many keep in mind)
- centrally located? Having it in Breck or Gunnison, or castle rock would not be a good choice
- good facilities, (bathrooms, water, etc)
- Can the group running the show support it? I think ICCC is a qualified group
There are probably a few more items that are more important than the course when selecting a candidate for states
Points: 6
How about ease of
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
How about ease of registration as a factor? This was the easiest (best) registration of the year and I believe the cheapest - $23 online.
It was a day for the pure crosser on Saturday. Some courses this year catered to roadies or mtn bikers, but this one you needed a full quiver of skills - handling skills, a strong motor, high tolerance for suffering and brain power. Of course it wasn't perfect, but was there a perfect race this year, or any year, no.
ICCC should also be recognized for thinking out of the box for allowing different/new categories to participate and compete. Over the course of three events they offered races for clydes, beginners and kiddie cross.

Dont complain
Submitted by Kevin (not verified) on
You had your chance to speak up and offer advice/wisdom/input back before the choice of promoter and venue was made. Hopefully you will be as vocal and outspoken at future ACA meetings where policy is being decided. If ACA is going to grow and prosper, we need people like you, people who have solid ideas to speak up and be heard. This blog is hardly the best place to get heard. Go to the meetings. Speak up. Be opinionated.
ICCC is not some run of the mill promoter. Time and again they have put on great events and constructed great courses. The conditions under which they set up the course at states (50mph wind driven snow, 20 degree air temp, etc) and the fact that they made a memorable and challenging course are even more feathers in their cap. While I personally hated the spiral of death, it was creative and as I mentioned, very memorable. Who wants some pancake flat course with no interesting features? Certainly not anyone who wants to be challenged.
And I think a changing venue is a good idea. No home course advantage for anyone. You arrive, you recon, your race. That's the way it should be.
Points: -1
Challenging course, enjoyed it
Submitted by Allen Krughoff (not verified) on
While pre riding today's course, my teammate Joe Saperstein and I both agreed that it was a 'bike driver's' course. Good to see a course that doesn't allow the person who can simply pedal the hardest to win. A -real- run up, barriers placed in sections that are not flat-out/straight sections where you roll the dice between speed and safety, the circle of death was quirky but an added challenge nonetheless, the pit was in a great spot with plenty of space on a false flat, and there was a marching band. I love drum lines.
I do feel bad for the people that touched down today and suffered injury (best wishes and heal quickly) however, I also believe it's a rider's responsibility to make an assessment of the course before the race, decide what he/she can and cannot ride and at what speed they can negotiate obstacles. If it's too icy/off camber/(insert difficult section here) then you've got your feet.
Someone mentioned the 2009 CX season and driving back from the venue my teammates and I were discussing how great it's been. Thanks to ICCC for a great event today and for all the promoters for putting together a great CX season in Colorado. BTW - my vote for top course design in 2009 goes to RRV series race 2. Just awesome. Can't wait til CX 2010

who REALLY cares?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
My subject title is not meant to be sarcastic. My question is this:
Why do we collectively care so much and have such incredibly strong opinions on the course just because it's STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS?
I realize the knee-jerk reaction is "DUH, IT'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS!"
"Dude I didn't buy 2 carbon cross bikes and 3 sets of $2000 zipp wheels to get 15th in my Cat 4 race!!"
But unless you're one of the FEW people who are actually battling for a win, why would you care?
This is going to sound even more insensitive to the amateur fields. . .but I would further add that unless you're an elite rider battling for an elite championship (and a pay check) why would you complain about a race course?
I say this and I am a Cat 4 rider. A cat 4 rider who trains very hard and spends a bunch of money on my favorite hobby, cycling (just like many other amateurs out there). Would I like a course that suits my strengths? Yes. But unless I think a course is silly dangerous (like with BMX jumps and an alligator pit) I really don't think it's my place to complain.
Now if a pro wants to approach the ACA about certain aspects of a course that do not fit our current race course criteria, that could potentially alter the outcome of the race, I have no problem with that.
Despite that fact that us amateurs train really hard and like to improve, I think we should remember that we're racing for fun. Promoters and ACA referees really shouldn't care if amateur riders think there were too many dismounts or the barriers were too tall.

Because this is the State

Because this is the State Championships and people train hard for it. They also Pay out of their OWN pocket for entry fees and equipment.
For some, 15th place in the 4s is a big deal. Pros should be out on the National curcuit. For them, local races are just fun training...
Yes, if the course looks to dangerous, DON'T race on it.

pros should be where

"Pros should be out on the National curcuit. For them, local races are just fun training..."
The pros that have the race results and the caliber sponsorship to race a National Schedule including travel, mechanics, unlimited gear replacement etc. are definitely traveling. This is a select group of talent. Maybe you have heard of some of the big names, Jeremy Powers, Ryan Trebon, Tim Johnson to name a few.
However, most local pros all over the U.S. do not hold the caliber sponsorship to travel far or often, maybe 1 or 2 big travel races. Most of the pros do this because they love it, not because pro cross racing is a good way to make a living.
While I agree that 15th in the 4's is a big deal for some (I would have been totally pumped to get 15th in the 4's on Saturday), I maintain that unless I see something truly dangerous and blatantly inappropriate on the course, I really shouldn't be bothering ACA officials about how it was really hard for me to get off my bike 4 times or how I didn't like the spiral of death, or how the hill climb was too slippery, or how the off-camber stuff was too hard and bumpy. They have other crap to deal with.
Instead of complaining about courses, I plan on identifying my weaknesses and training to improve them.

Last night I played a cash hand rather poorly. I raised 6s9d in early position to £4, and was re-raised by Devski from the Big Blind. I called in position.
Flop missed me totally: Q, Q, 3
I think Dev led out and I floated by flat calling (not entirely sure what was going through my head at this point, as Dev is a bit of a rock).
Turn brings another 3.
Check, Check.
4 on the river, Dev leads out, I lose my mind and move all in and Dev calls with flopped quad Queens. Well played Jimbo.
The holdem cash ended with me down £650, before I won back nearly £350 playing the lottery of three handed Omaha with Hass and the Baron.
The tournament showed marginal improvement, but I still busted in 5th, two spots out of the money. There were some semi interesting tournament hands:
I'm down to about 4k from a 5k starting stack after a few ambitious raises. I now raise to 150 in the cutoff with QhJd and get called by the button and the big blind.
Flop arrives Qd, Js, 4d
I bet 400 and the big blind calls.
Turn is another diamond. Big blind checks, so I bet 800 and now am check raised to 2200. It is going to be my whole stack to continue with the hand, so I give him credit for the flush and pass. I made a mistake here - I should have checked back the turn and called his river bet (I had the Jack of diamonds as well).
Hairdresser limps UTG for 200 and I make it 1000 in middle position with QJ. Hairdresser is the only caller, and he checks the low flop. I shove my last 2400 and he passes KT.
We are now 5 handed and there is a limper UTG for 400. I shove for 4k with AK and get a call from AQ and I hold, to take 9k to the final table.
My stack has dwindled at the final table after making a couple of raises with trash, and folding once to a shove, and once to Deven's stop and go in the big blind. I now find 3s6d in mid position and raise to 2200 (blind 400-800). David calls, in the next seat along.
Flop K, Q, T
Check, Check
Turn is a blank, so I figure David either has a monster, or he has something like an underpair so I shove all in for 5k and David thankfully passes.
Aggro hand. I don't realise the blinds have gone up to 600-1200, so do my standard raise to 2200, and it has to go as a min raise UTG with 4s5s. Uncle Paulie calls his last 800 and the Big Blind has a big think and then calls, so from this I assume he has a marginal hand and is just calling because I messed up the original raise.
Main pot is 3000, Side pot is 3000.
Flop misses me totally, and BB checks so I bang it all in and he passes. When I show my hand (thus winning the side pot) he gets very upset, claiming I should have checked it down to eliminate Uncle Paulie. I don't understand this point of view at all - we are still three from the bubble, and there is sizeable side pot to be won. I am playing to win - if he is trying to sneak into the money three out from the bubble, then that is a strategy that is not going to get him far in the long run.
Guy from hand above shoves on the button for 4k. I call from SB with A8 which should be ahead of his range. Unfortunately he has AJ and it holds. Down to 5k.
I shove on the button with 8h3d and get called by AK in the big blind. I hit a 3 to double up to 10k.
UTG shoves for 9.5k and I find AJ in the BB and make the call. He has A2 and hits a deuce on the river to effectively end my tournament.
I often struggle for motivation to play on a Saturday, but this weekend I am aiming to finally make an appearance at the International £100 event which is very well structured.
Hopefully I will make it down there, as I need to get a lot more tournament practice, and I definitely showed signs of improvement last night.

Below you will find the steps outlined for registering online via IARD and Web CRD and links that provide more detailed information for each step.
Steps To Registering Online:
Qualifying As An IA Representative (RA) Registration - There are qualification requirements for an individual to register as an IA representative.
Professional Designations & IA Representative (RA) Registration - Many states accept certain professional designations as a basis for waiving a qualifying exam requirement or to serve as an alternate qualification for registration as an IA representative (RA).
Dual Registrations - States have differing policies regarding dual registrations. It is recommended that you check with the jurisdiction with which you are seeking registration for additional clarification.
For Additional Help:
SEC-registered investment advisers may contact SEC staff at email@example.com for regulatory issues.
The IARD system is designed to make electronic filing easy and most investment advisers submit their electronic filings through the IARD system without outside help. However, if you prefer, you can hire a service bureau to assist in the preparation and electronic submission of filings on the IARD system.
Per the SEC, electing to use a service bureau does not relieve an investment adviser of its legal and regulatory responsibilities under the federal securities laws, including the timely submission of complete and accurate filings.

I am currently at a Youth Caucus meeting at the convention. The room is packed.
Youth Caucus is defined as under 36. At 31 years old, this is definitely a much younger room than me, which is great. I think that it is important to incorporate youth into political involvement. I believe this convention is doing a great job of that.
I am sitting next to State Rep. Jay Goyal from Mansfield. He's going to participate in a panel in front of the caucus in a minute. Ohio has a large number of very young elected officials. I believe that Ohio has more youth elected officials than most other states. At least in the Democratic party. That's a great thing.
The President of the Young Democrats of America just stated that membership has been better than ever and the enthusiasm matches or surpasses the 2008 election.
Later on tonight we also cast the official votes for the Presidential Nomination.

In the Fog (V Tumane) Movie Reviews
User reviews on In the Fog (V Tumane)
I love Russian films, I grew up watching them and I understand the language and this film was simply wonderful, I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I enjoy director Sergei Loznitsa's style of directing and his dreamy long-takes reminded me of Russian filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky and Aleksei Guerman. I think that Loznitsa really understands that war will always be here and he also is very good at showing what it can do to our souls. This film made me think and wonder and hold my breath sometimes, I hope that it will reach a wide audience because it is a wonderful piece of art.

Your Pets And Your Bounce House
Bounce houses are well-known for creating incredible, memorable entertainment. All types of inflatable devices are blown up in backyards, public parks, and local neighborhood areas from the first day in spring to the last days of autumn every single year. Because bounce houses and moonwalks are highly popular among families and suburban environments, owners of bounce houses often have some kind of animal in their care as a pet. While pets are certainly to be beloved and cared for their owners, there sadly is no place for a pet around any inflatable device.
Regardless of the type of pet you have, such as a cat, a dog, a bird, or even some kind of reptile, allowing them near, or even inside your bounce house would be inadvisable. The tricky thing about the whole scenario is that when you begin to set up a bounce house in your yard, it may be hard to keep pets away from the massive inflatable structure. Dogs or cats might become curious, and could sniff out and explore the bounce house to try and figure out what it is. It is very important, however, to keep any pets away from a bounce house, both to protect the safety of the pets and the bounce house itself. It is a certainty that the lives and safety of the animals is absolutely essential and must be preserved at every opportunity.
Placing an animal inside of a bounce house can lead to immediate disorientation and confusion. To be picked up and placed on a shaky, constantly moving ground with no easy way out will not be a very entertaining time for a dog or a cat. Smaller pets, such as a bird, gerbil, hamster or mouse can end up getting lost in the elaborate, complex designs of a bounce house. It doesn't matter how big or small you think your inflatable device is, because to your small pet, it looks absolutely massive. Smaller pets definitely run the risk of being lost and disoriented while within the oxford cloth or vinyl walls. If users of the inflatable device are not careful, they can accidentally injure their pets while bouncing around inside of the structure. If a bounce house was to collapse, or some other accident was to occur while pets are inside the structure, the animals would become frightened, and panic. The experience could inadvertently traumatize the animal.
By this same reasoning, keeping pets out of bounce houses will also protect the bounce houses themselves from injury or damage. The most popular pets in America are dogs, cats, and birds (and, it's safe to assume, if you are a bounce house owner with a pet, it's likely one of these three). All of these animals have sharp claws, feet, or talons as a vital part of their bodies. All inflatable structures are susceptible to deflation by puncturing, and all animals placed inside of an inflatable structure will likely have their claws out due to fear and confusion. Keeping pets out of and away from bounce houses will avoid the chance of the claws puncturing the walls of the bounce house in an attempt to explore, or, more likely, escape.
Your pets will likely remain curious about the events of your bounce house party, especially with a large gathering of people in their yard and the presence of a giant inflatable device. To keep your pets happy and at ease, it would be a good idea to seek out help. One of the ways fellow parents or responsible adults can help out is by taking turns in supervising the pets for the day. Dogs, cats, and other pets love attention, and since they won't be able to get it playing in a bounce house, they can still get their attention and care from their loving owner.

Replica is an electronic song cycle based around audio procured from TV ad compilations. These sample-based meditations are as lyrical as they are ecological, featuring re-purposed "ghost vocals" which serve as narration for Lopatin's signature amorphous, ambient passages. Lopatin's Juno-60 is still prominent, but Returnal's placid, synthetic surroundings are accelerated through darker, more unpredictable terrains via Lopatin's use of samplers, analog filtering, tape-op, piano, plate reverb and sub-bass. The result is a heightened sense of music as part and parcel of an overall sonic terrain.

text: I've been working on a simple client-support CD for the company I work for. Basically, the CD is an auto-launch disk that pops up a message, and, if the user elects to do so, opens up a reverse connection from the client's machine to our support personnel. I've gotten most of the kinks worked out. I'll see if my boss will allow me to post code/etc. soon. It was really pretty simple.... package up the winVNC executable and .dll files, make a prototypical registry setup (with incoming connections disabled), and wrap it up with some scripts and verbiage so that it can run and exit with little impact to the system (it backs up the HKCU registry entries, installs its set, runs, and then restores when done. No programs are ever copied to the local hard drive). Nice and small, too... the whole package is only ~300kb. And, it works pretty well, too. Since a lot of our customers are behind silly NAT-based corporate networks (DSL is huge locally, and most of our customers use that.... too bad the local DSL network changes your IP about 3 1/2 times per day), the outgoing connection is a key element. And, that's fine (we have a block of static IPs, and a server with rinetd running. Basically, when a support call comes in, a tech uses a web interface to change the incoming connection to hit them, and we leave previous connections going. That way the CD can be set to always make its reverse connection to the same place). Anyway, it works on WinNT(4sp6 is all I've tested, but I don't use anything weird enough to expect it to fail on anything besides the broken sp6, and pre-sp3 systems), Win95, and Win98. Pop in the CD, click through on the disclosure pop-up, and it fires away. No problem. But, on the one Windows 2000 machine I've been able to test it on, everything works fine until the part when the reverse connection is being made... and the vncviewer (in listen mode) just pops up a dialog saying "Invalid protocol" and gives up. I believe the machine is running Advanced Server, if that makes any difference. The connection is a mostly-local one. Ping and telnet work just fine from the machine. And, it reliably presents the "invalid protocol" dialog, so it's most likely related. I searched the archives and didn't find anything that was helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone done reverse connections from Win2k to vncviewer in listen mode on Win95/98? ---------- Bryan Pendleton Phone: (877)780-3087 "The root of all knowledge lies within, but knowledge is useless unless it is collected and shared." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to majordomo "at" uk.research.att.com See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden Boy matchmaker Robert Diaz hasn't been shy about telling some of his pals who are merely casual boxing fans that they'd be fool just to tune in for the main event on Saturday night. Wouldn't be wise, Diaz tells them, not with the Danny Garcia-Lucas Matthysse scrap underneath the main event.
Diaz has seen some oddsmakers installing the Argentine as a 3-to-1 favorite and he cautioned me on a Thurday phoner that the oddsmakers by no means always get it right. "They make mistakes sometimes," he told me. "They don't know how Danny was brought up, how he was the underdog in most of his fights. Danny wasn't built up like the majority of fighters, he's been in very tough. I don't remember him or his dad ever turning a fight down. He's got a lot of talent, and belief in himself."
His best wins have come over past their prime stars, Erik Morales twice and Zab Judah, and that KO of Amir Khan was a "lucky punch," his detractors sometimes argue. A win for the 25-year-old Philly fighter, Diaz said, would dispel all doubts, and move the 26-0 Garcia into a new category. "A win for Garcia would move him from being a world champ, to a superstar," Diaz said. The same goes for the 30-year-old Matthysse (34-2), he thinks, because the stage will be so immense, and so many eyes will be trained on this faceoff.
"This one could steal the show, be the fight of the night," he said. "It'll turn into a war."
I think Garcia could try and enter with a gameplan of employing smart boxing and mobility for 12 rounds to work to hold on to his 140 pound crowns. Diaz agrees, but says that once one or the other really lands, all bets could be off, a tradefest could break out. "It's a 50-50 fight but I believe 100% someone is getting knocked out," he told me. Smartly, with a political deftness, he wouldn't guess which man will take the ten count. Readers, who do you like in the Danny Garcia-Lucas Matthysse clash?

Paraben and preservative free, this refreshing moisture gel masque imparts a bouquet of fresh mandarin oranges to awaken the senses. Algae extract and hyaluronic acid act as humectants, retaining moisture in the skin, revealing an improved tone and texture without adding excess oils. Powerful patent pending anti-oxidant blend of white, red and green tea extracts combined with goji berry, pomegranate and grapeseed extracts help to neutralize free radicals, protect skin from environmental toxins and combat the visible signs of premature aging.
White, red and green tea extracts combined with goji berry, pomegranate and grapeseed extracts help to neutralize free radicals, protect skin from environmental toxins and combat the visible signs of premature aging.
Orange Extract - Derived from the fruit, flowers and peel of the tree cultivated in Spain, it acts as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant. Contains Citrus bioflavonoids; (Hesperidin, Rutin, and Naringin) which reduces the skin's inflammatory response by strengthening the walls of blood vessels and aids Vitamin C to rebuild collagen, increasing the skin's overall natural healing abilities.
Algae Extract - consists of many polysaccharide sugars such as Alginates, which are responsible for moisture retention and Fucoidanes, which encourage circulation playing a key role in the elasticity of the skin.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract - Derived from the tree native to China and Japan, this extract contains flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids which help to increase healthy blood flow, improving circulation and protecting against oxidative cell damage from free radicals.
Ginger Root Extract - Derived from the underground stem (rhizome) of the plant found in Asia and India, its main active compound; Gingerol gives the plant its flavor and its anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin C - a powerful anti-oxidant needed for growth and repair of tissue. Helps to form collagen in connective tissue, heal wounds, support a healthy skin immune system and protect against UVA/UVB damage.
Sodium PCA - Derived from amino acids, it acts as a humectant to maintain the water content of the skin and attract moisture to the skin from the air.
Allantoin - Derived from the root of the Comfrey plant which is native to Europe and temperate areas of Asia. Allantoin acts as a Keratolytic agent, which is used to soften and peel the epidermis. This stimulates the growth of healthy tissue to improve skin's moisture binding capacity, aiding in healing and improving skin irritations.
Sodium Hyaluronate - is the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin, to regulate cell behavior during the healing process and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant to maintain the water content of the skin and attract moisture to the skin, minimizing trans-epidermal water loss.
German Chamomile - Derived from the European garden herb, its main constituents are flavonoids, caffeic acid, alpha-bisabolol and chamazulene which have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to accelerate the healing process and provide protection against the recurring stresses of the environment on the skin.
Directions: After cleansing, apply a generous amount to the face, neck and décolleté with the fingertips or a soft masque brush. After five to ten minutes, remove all traces of masque with water and pat dry. Follow with toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen.
