In this six-week course we will introduce the art of Buddhist meditation and the core principles of Buddhism. Meditation is the systematic development of higher states of awareness and a deeper experience of kindness and compassion. Two simple meditation techniques will be covered: one focuses on the development of a tranquil and concentrated mind; the other on the cultivation of friendliness and goodwill towards ourselves and other living beings. We will also explore some of the core principles of Buddhism and how they can meaningfully effect the way we live. Some of the topics covered will include the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path and their practical applications in today's world. The fee for the class is $90, although all are welcome regardless of ability to pay.
This course is suitable for the newcomer, aged 18 or over, who has had little or no experience with meditation or Buddhism.

NASA is moving forward to discover that we are not alone in the Universe. Yesterday, a public meeting with NASA's chief and top scientists was held in Washington D.C. They are moving forward on the belief that extraterrestrials living outside of our Solar System will be found within the next two decades, reports Redorbit.
The confidence for this bold statement to go where we have not yet discovered alternate life forms is the Kepler space telescope. This has allowed scientists to observe 700 brand new planets year to date in 2014.
NASA called the press conference to proclaim that in the very near future stars seen in the heavens will be identified and the planet associated with that star according to Sara Seager, a professor of planetary science and physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Once they acquire observations from the planet based telescoped, then study is moved to space-based stations such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Kepler Space Telescope. The power and technological advancement of these scopes allow for many stars to be viewed with the capability to determine if the star has an orbiting planet. Water, the key ingredient can be detected on many of these observations.
NASA's plans to explore the galaxy will require an effort of magnitude according to Matt Mountain, director and the Webb telescope scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. He explained that it is within reach to discover and change the world forever, but "It is going to take a continuing partnership between NASA, science, technology, the U.S. and international space endeavors, as exemplified by the James Webb Space Telescope, to build the next bridge to humanity's future."
It is an exciting adventure for which NASA plans to have an upgraded version of the Kepler, named the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in 2017. What is in the plan and the long term goals for the vision is happening today and are based upon the findings from the observations. NASA astronomer Kevin Hand stated that he believes, "in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe."
To accent the progress due to the Kepler telescope Mountain clarified yesterday, that the observations have led to estimates of billions of planets in our galaxy and most are less than three times the diameter of Earth. The Kepler telescope found one Earth-sized planet in what he calls the "habitable zone" of a star with liquid water on the surface.
These findings have come to the scientists observations only within the past five years. The future is very bright in the stars for the quest to find other life forms.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KariAnn77 Good look, good quality This shade is really nice. I like the color and texture and really like that it's lined...although the lining is plastic and was dented a little bit when I received it in the mail so I recommend buying in-store if you can. Very happy with this purchase overall. August 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MAmama The color is darker than expected I ordered this online during a sale event so I got it for a good price. The quality of this shade seems decent. The color turned out to be darker than I expected, considering it is described as off-white. October 24, 2013

Director: Bridgette Kerkove
Company: FusXion
Distribution Companies: Metro Distributors
Cast: Tony T., Sledge Hammer, Anna Nova, Brian Pumper, Katja Kassin, Barbara Summers, Lauren Phoenix, Melissa Lauren, Byron Long, Mandingo, Cytheria
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
These sex crazed white girls just can't get enough black dick. Fortunately, even with Byron Long's name misspelled in the credits, they find black dick easy to locate.
Things start off as they so often do in these kinds of videos, on a couch in a living room. Brian Pumper is the sensitive black male who checks in frequently with Melissa Lauren prior to plunging his job security deep into her ass. Mandingo and Long keep the sweet-faced Anna Nova's various orifices company on a wooden window seat and, as part of their cultural exchange, give her plenty of sweet cream to shovel into her mouth.
For those seeking a break from what now passes for ordinary, Sledge Hammer and Katja Kassin will inspire viewers to murmur "that's a lot of dick up her ass," before being amazed by the ease with which she fits her own hand in there.
Retailing: Stylin? ass sex, Kerkove style that will keep interracial fans jerking.

Memories of MadridMadrid, Fall 2011
I have been at home for a little over a week now, and it is still sinking in that this chapter of my life abroad has ended, especially now that the buzz of Christmas has passed and the excitement of being home has faded. It is still hard to believe that this past semester in Madrid even happened, let alone that it came to an end. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure everyone who has been abroad before knows what I'm talking about. It's the strangest mix of emotions I have ever felt. My trip home took over 24 hours, and was torture due to a three hour delay from San Francisco back home. Luckily for me, one of my friends from high school who studied abroad in Barcelona was on my flight home, and coincidentally we were assigned seats next to each other. It was nice having someone who was going through what I was to sit and talk to during our long delay. The flight from SF to Boise was on the smallest plane I had ever been on in my life, seating only 20 people. I think I slept the entire 90 minute flight home, which was more than I can say for any of my longer flights. Being reunited with my family and friends, who stayed up until 2 a.m. to come get me made the torturous travel time worth it in the end. It was nice to get to go home and see my dog, and sleep in the luxury of my pillow top bed and fake goose down pillow. After a few good days of down-time and rest, my mom hosted a small get together for some of our family and closest friends to welcome me home. The party allowed me to make a big jug of my sangria, several tortilla de patatas, and pan con tomate, all of which were a big hit. Being in Madrid definitely put things into perspective for me, i.e. to cherish each moment, even the bad or stressful ones because they will pass with time, and the passing of time meant that my time in Madrid was diminishing. I consider my choice to study abroad as one of the best decisions I have ever made because it opened my eyes to new cultures, pushed me to speak Spanish and improve my speaking and writing skills, and allowed me the biggest sense of independence I have ever felt in my life. My last two trips to Dublin and London had me navigating the cities by foot with the help of a map, or just with my surprisingly good sense of direction; and never once did I get lost. It was very empowering, and I was able to prove to myself that my dreams of traveling in the future can be done alone without fear. I met so many great people while I was abroad, many of whom I plan to keep in touch with. It was especially hard for me to say goodbye to my Spanish compañera who lived in the apartment with us. We had grown pretty close during the semester, and she had helped me out numerous times from apartment drama to editing my papers for my literature classes. We plan to Skype regularly so I can keep speaking Spanish, and she can practice her English with me. When I get sad about my time in Madrid coming to a close I distract myself with all the positive things I have to look forward to in the coming month, such as returning to my closest friends and sorority sisters at Redlands, my awesome class and work schedule for next semester, and the thought of returning to Madrid in the future.

Department of Public Safety troopers seized $235,365 in suspected drug-related currency and $10,000 worth of marijuana and cocaine during the weekend in two busts near Groom.
Troopers arrested Steven Todd, 29, of Painesville, Ohio, and Christopher Hlad, 27, of Mentor, Ohio, on Sunday at 4:47 p.m., for having 16 pounds of marijuana and 10.5 grams of cocaine in the car, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety report.
Troopers stopped the two going eastbound on Interstate 40 near Groom.
It was estimated the drugs in their 2004 Chevy Impala were worth more than $10,000, the report said.
In the currency bust, troopers stopped a 1998 Honda Accord on Saturday about 9:15 p.m. on westbound Interstate 40 near Conway, about 15 miles west of Groom, another DPS report said.
A K-9 unit then detected traces of drugs, according to the report.
Troopers searched the car and found the money in the dashboard wrapped up in gray duct tape.
Troopers arrested Artesha Daniels, 26, of Pasadena, Calif., and Sean Hoffman, 32, of Las Vegas, Nev., the report said. All four arrested were taken to Carson County Jail.

5 Incredible Transforming Concept Vehicles
BY: Laura K. Cowan
Start Slideshow
- Maininki Kakola transforming concept carWe love concept cars, and lately we have seen a whole slew that not only transform transportation into a more sustainable industry, but they actually transform themselves in the process. Whether it's a chassis that shortens to turn a cruiser into a city car, a boat that can be transfigured into a plane, or a car that morphs into a boat -- we love them all! Here's a peek into out five favorites, including the MAININKI Kakola Concept, Opel Icona, VIERIA, the Jon Salerno Habitat Micro Home, and the Octuri Yacht Plane.1
- Maininki Kakola transforming concept carThe chassis of the MAININKI shortens to transform the car from a highway cruiser to a city driver that's easy to maneuver and park in tight spaces.2
- Opel Icona ConceptThe Opel Icona Concept changes back and forth from a car to a sailboat as needed, envisioning a future in which many people live on the water due to overpopulation.3
- Opel Icona ConceptThe Icona is a future-looking commuter car, powered by green technologies for quickly getting from point A to point B, regardless of whether part of that trip is on land or water.4
- Vieria Concept CarThe Vieria concept car has tandem seating and an adjustable chassis length to allow two people to cruise at high speed or slip through city traffic with ease.5
- Vieria Concept CarHere you can see the Vieria in both configurations, with wheels extended and pulled in for a more compact stance.6
- Jon Salerno Habitat Micro HomeThe Jon Salerno Habitat Micro Home uses a reconfigurable car interior as extra living space when docked below the house.7
- Jon Salerno Habitat Micro HomeThe four seats in the car Salerno envisions docking with his Habitat Micro Home can be swiveled to face each other to create a living space. It brings new meaning to living out of your car.8
- Octuri yacht planeEnvisioned as a transport vessel for a Saudi prince to take his cargo around the coast with ease, the Octuri yacht plane transforms from a boat to a plane by turning its wings into sails.9
- Octuri yacht planeThe Octuri yacht plane saves time loading and unloading cargo and can run on pure wind power when conditions are favorable.10

Isn't spaghetti squash utterly beguiling? Years ago, after foraging through the innards to discover those miraculous, sinuous strands that unfurl like the pasta for which this gorgeous gourd is named, I was completely hooked! Add kale, the most nutritious green there is into the mix, and here is indeed a recipe quite worth making. Any variety of Swiss Chard would work well for this too.
Behold the innards!
Any sort of gourd is not easy to cut through, so use the knife with the most heft that you have in the house. Heat the oven to 350 degrees while removing the seeds from a medium spaghetti squash, about two pounds, and then send to the microwave for 15 minutes until soft, cut side up. Let cool. Use a fork with abandon to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands of your squash into a rather capacious bowl. Toss out the rind.
Isn't it amazing?
I shirked the suggested skillet, thereby cutting out the middle man by using only an oven-ready gratin pan and a medium bowl: into the gratin pan went the one yellow onion (roughly one cup or more), five cloves minced garlic, several thyme stems (to be pulled out before serving), salt and black pepper with more than the tablespoon of olive oil that the recipe requires. Cook and stir now and then for five minutes until the onion becomes soft. Grab hold of the stems of your kale and pull off the leafy fronds with your other hand. Discard the stems. Wilt a ½ bunch of kale leaves (about four cups) for at least five minutes more and then remove from heat.
As the kale conspired with the other ingredients…
In a medium bowl combine cottage cheese, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, and two egg whites (¼ cup). Stir to blend together.
Gently stir squash into the kale mixture; blend in the cheese mixture. Even it all out and top with remaining ¼ cup Parmesan or as much as you'd like.
Here we go then, all ready for the oven.
Bake 35-40 minutes until achieving that golden, breathless perfection. Although the recipe doesn't call for it, I'd add some freshly grated nutmeg the next time I make this wonderful dish.
Voila! Spaghetti Squash and Kale Gratin!

Arizona 8, Auburn 1 (Box Score)
TUCSON, Ariz. - Alex Mejia blasted a two-run homerun in a five-run second inning for the No. 8 Arizona baseball team, which rode the arm of a gritty Kurt Heye rfor seven innings en route to an 8-1 series-opening victory over Auburn before a crowd of 2,470 on Friday night at Hi Corbett Field.
It was an ominous start for Heyer and the Wildcats, though. The Tigers opened the scoring in the second inning when Creede Simpson lined a full-count fastball back up the middle, which deflected off Heyer's throwing hand for an infield single. Heyer remained in the game, but the Tiger's scratched across an unearned run later in the frame to claim a 1-0 edge.
Arizona wasted no time answering, rapping out six hits off Tiger starter Derek Varnadore in the home half of the decisive second inning. Seth Mejias-Brean and Trent Gilbert collected singles to ignite the rally, and the Wildcats loaded the bases when Riley Moore reached on a bunt single. One out later, Bobby Brown laced a two-run single to left-center for his first hit of the year to give UA a 2-1 lead.
A balk committed by Varnadore moved Moore and Brown to second and third respectively. Joey Rickard drove in Moore with a sacrifice fly to give the Wildcats a two-run cushion, setting the stage for Mejia's blast.
After hitting from both sides of the plate while nursing a sprained left wrist over the first four games, Mejia hit solely from the right side of the plate on Friday. His opening at-bat resulted in a long fly out to left field, but his second trip produced the Wildcats' first home run of the season, a two-run shot to left field, and pushed the lead to 5-1.
Heyer (2-0) settled down on the mound and allowed just four hits over the next five innings. He scattered six hits in the game, walked just one and tallied four strikeouts. The lone run he surrendered was unearned.
Varnadore (1-1) was charged with the loss after giving up seven runs on 11 hits in six innings of work. Chase Williamson finished the game for the Tigers and allowed one run on three hits.
The Wildcats added insurance runs in the third, sixth and eighth innings. In all, three players - Mejia, Mejias-Brean and Dixon - collected three hits. Mejias-Brean and Dixon each had two doubles, while Mejia drove in a season-high four runs.
Auburn (3-3) tallied four hits off UA reliever Mathew Troupe, but the freshman right-hander did not walk a batter and struck out two in his second career appearance.
The two clubs wrap up the brief three-game series on Saturday with a scheduled double-header. The first game will begin at 2 p.m. with the second game set to start approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of the first.

I survive the holidays by sneaking naps in whenever I can.
30 minute drive to the Sister in law's? I'm sleeping in the car. 20 minutes before the turkey's ready? I suddenly have to do something in another room.
This can occasionally destroy hair and makeup, but I have learned to sleep sitting up and that seems to help.

Wrap all the presents in newspaper, using marker to write 'to' & 'from' and then have a wrapping party with everyone wrapping their own presents.
Lots and lots of wine is one way to survive the holidays! 🙂
I survive the holidays by remebering one thing…
There are those who don't have the opportunity to celebrate as my family does. Those without homes, food, beloningings.
Appreciate everything, even the tiny little things to don't seem like much at the time, but in the end are huge.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Wine, wine and more wine. Oh and don't forget the chocolate.

If the girl scouts taught me anything its to be prepared. So, when suffering through the holidays I always make sure to have ear plugs, a first aid kit, something to distract wayward nieces and nephews, loads of alcohol, and a new book.
Stock. Up. On. Wine! Lots of it! LOL! Merry Christmas!
My one tip for surviving the holidays is (and I'm thinking for someone grumpy like Nina) is to spend as much time as possible with the pets or going on errands. This is great if you have some family your don't like coming over or are stuck going to a party with a friend of significant other. Now if you don't particularly care for pets or kids for that matter then…you're ass'd out lol
I try to remind myself just how much I love my family. Even when they are driving me out of my mind. Trust me that "drive" to crazyville is getting shorter and shorter all the time.
In my family, full of ADD, ADHD, and Bi-polar members, I survive with alcohol and valium!
Hi Dakota and my surviving tip is to not panic. it is supposed to be a day to spend with your family not how much money you can or cannot spend on someone.
Hugs, sweetie–that's lovely!
Patience is key. Don't be in a hurry for anything (if at all possible).Keep the Crown Royal close, and reflect on the good things experienced throughout the year.
Funny you should mention ze Crown Royal…. LOLLOL!
I survive the holidays by looking at my animals. They make me smile every time I look at them no matter how stressful things get!
With memories of those who have crossed and remain a tender sweet reminder to make each day count. I would love to see the Accidental Ghost who is attached to Nina.
Booze and exercise (maybe together?). Seriously, nothing makes it easier to survive the in-laws than leaving the house – "I have to walk off that turkey!!!" My in-laws are sooooo impressed with my dedication to my workouts, lol.
Hugging the young'n, hugging the honey, hugging the dog, a wee bit of eggnog….with some Makers Mark dribbled in….
Wine, sweets, and hearing my daughter laugh!
Wine! A helping hand from my hubby and my sister and more wine.
Wine, cookies and books get me through this stressful time 😉 .
family in moderation. too much family BAD. too little family.. unacceptable. LOL teasing. LOVE my family (especially once everyone is drinking)
Over the years I have learned many things about holidays. One, the holidays are all about family…. no matter how messed up they may be! It is the precious time that you will miss when they are gone. Two, don't stress yourself out. It is not worth it. Take a day just for you to get hair/nails done or get a massage. Always helps clear my head to prepare me for the craziness! LOL Last, if all else fails….. turn to alcohol 🙂
Aw, you guys are awesome!Lots o' great advice 🙂
Rest. If something happens you can't fix, don't stress. Let it go. The holidays are stressful enough without agonizing over something over which you have no control. Smile (it makes everyone wonder what the Hell you're thinking – and if you can make it an evil, cheesy grin, even better). Pet the doggies and try to relax and enjoy. If that fails, head north to MD, you can help me wrap, we'll bake cookies and watch those cornball movies on Hallmark and Lifetime..and Christmas Vacation.
I survive the holidays by first enjoying my wedding anniversary on Christmas Eve with a bottle of bubbly and then enjoying all the days after that with hubby, sons, family and alcohol!!! The holidays are my favorite because it's one of the few times the entire family can get together and enjoy each other. Spread the LOVE!
Hmmmm how to survive the holidays…….xanax with a wine chaser 😉 That way no one minds the lamp shade on your head or atleast you're too "happy" to not care that they mind.
My sister had a friend that lived across the street (well she did a long time ago and her mom still lived there) and she knocked on the door with wine glass, pill bottle and cigarette in hand begging to use the backyard because she needed a "moment" from her family lol
You know how I survive them: Learning to duck the bullets and dodge the mortar rounds….Thank Goodness I retired from the Army and don't have to do that anymore! I guess now, I do it by ducking paper airplanes and dodging high school students! Seriously, The holidays are about making memories that, years from now, your kids can look back and say"You remember that time, during the holidays when…" Don't sweat the small stuff, get out there and make great memories.
Hugs, Dakota, and remembering what your true priorities are–it isn't the outward trappings (presents, decorations, food, cards…). While those are lovely, Christmas is really about loving other people and making time to do things you enjoy with them. And possibly holding your tongue when you might not otherwise to occasionally keep the peace 😉 Wishing you a joyful time of celebrating with those you love best!
having people help out with cooking the food
Look at all of you! Thank you, thank you for showing up, lovelies–so appreciate you! Huge hugs and much holiday cheer, and thanks to Nat for having me!
Bailey's in coffee, any Hallmark movie, Comfort & Joy, The Holiday, more Bailey's, a great book, and turning the Christmas tree lights on with candles glowing. If snow is falling, opening the curtains and watching it – and NOT having to shovel it 🙂
Surviving the holidays takes skill. You need to smile when all you really want to do is whack someone over the head. Eat cookies and cakes to keep your strength up to endure everything being given out. Sneak some Jack Daniel's in for some support when nessessary. And above all, have your secret signals worked out between you and the husband and kids so that you all can escape when the time is right and your at your wits end. 😉
Go with the flow, and remember that all things will pass!
My advice…shop early or online and avoid the crowds. If you must go out keep lots of chocolate on hand preferably dark!
Hey Dakota! Survive the holidays? Drink. A lot. Let's see– take meds? No? Sleep a lot? No? What I do is take it day by day and if I have to skip some stuff then I do– and I remember to laugh with my kids:)
Eat lots of chocolate ;=)

dictionary.com defines panocha as hot latin pussy but it means so much more to the boys..and girls of the lakeville-freetown area. Panocha symbolizes culture, freedom, and self expression. Sure it has 4 staight hours of non stop girl on girl action but its a tasteful classic that the whole family can enjoy.

While seemingly not much to look at, these Vintage Japanese Nautical Fishing Net Glass Ball Floats ($44 for set of 3) make a subtle touch to your home decor. Plus, the awesome is in the concept: these floats were hand blown and once used by Japanese fishermen. Glass floats have since been replaced with smaller, more durable floats and the original glass ones are hard to come by.

Time ticked away this morning for the Cedar Grove Police Department, and when the clock struck 8, the department went under the control of the Bay County Sheriff's Office.
This means sheriff's deputies will be patrolling the streets of the former town of Cedar Grove from now on.
"Bottom line, we're here to provide professional law enforcement," Frank McKeithen, Bay County Sheriff, said.
The decision was made at Tuesday's town commission meeting when commissioners voted unanimously to adopt its dissolution plan. That plan had an immediate effect on the police department.
"Just heartbroken. We really expected to have a little more time to prepare for what was going to happen," Joseph McCullough, a former Cedar Grove police officer, said.
The move is leaving Cedar Grove's police chief, its officers and dispatchers without jobs. Losing your job is already tough enough, but trying to find a job in today's economy is even tougher.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen says he's considering the possibility of creating new deputy positions. Early this morning, McKeithen with help from other sheriff's office personnel was taking inventory at the cedar grove police department.
"Certainly we have mixed emotions about it. We're here because we're going to protect the citizens and we can understand some of the feelings the officers have that do not have a job," McKeithen said.
McKeithen says the sheriff's office will consider the former Cedar Grove police officers.
"If they are qualified and if we have positions available they certainly will be considered but as you know our standards are different and they will all just have to go through the process," McKeithen said.
After Tuesday's vote, the town officially became a part of unincorporated Bay County. Town commissioners will now act as trustees until the county takes full control.

The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Prologue
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Prologue Lines 457-474 Summary
- (The Wife ends her imaginary address to her husband.)
- That's how I used to speak to my husbands. Now I'll tell you about my fourth husband.
- My fourth husband kept a mistress.
- Then, I was young and passionate. I was stubborn, strong, and cheerful.
- I could dance well to the songs of a harp, and sing like a nightingale, when I'd had a lot to drink.
- Metellius killed his wife for drinking, but if I'd been his wife he would not have persuaded me to stop drinking.
- After I drink, I want to have sex. For, just as cold brings hail, so a mouth fond of drink belongs to a body fond of sex.
- Women who have been drinking have no self-control, which lechers know from experience.

This week's Manning Passing Academy once again includes a stellar list of collegiate and professional football players and coaches, including LSU's Zach Mettenberger and Tulane's Nick Montana, according to the Clarion Ledger.
The 18th annual camp is open to registered students entering eighth grade through seniors in high school, and runs from Thursday-Sunday at Nicholls State in Thibodaux. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning and his sons - senior associate directors Peyton (Denver Broncos), Eli (New York Giants) and Cooper run the camp.
Over the course of four days, hundreds of campers will be taught the basics of the offensive skill positions from the Manning family and their fellow counselors including the quarterback, running back, tight end and receiver positions.
Mississippi State's Tyler Russell, Ole Miss' Bo Wallace, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Georgia's Aaron Murray, Florida's Jeff Driskel and South Carolina's Connor Shaw are other quarterback counselors from the Southeastern Conference, and six other Louisiana college players are scheduled to attend: quarterbacks Scotty Young of Louisiana Tech, Beaux Hebert of Nicholls, Kolton Browning of ULM, Bryan Bennett of Southeastern and Terrance Broadway of ULL, along with McNeese State tight end Josh Jordan.
Professional quarterbacks scheduled for this year include Andrew Luck (Indianapolis), Philip Rivers (San Diego), Sam Bradford (St. Louis), and Matthew Stafford (Detroit). Peyton Manning has thrown touchdowns to two wide receivers attending in free agents Brandon Stokley and Austin Collie.
A notable coach slated to attend is new Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly. Campers arrive Thursday and practice for the first time Friday at 8:45 a.m. at Guidry Stadium.

In her small town, nothing interesting ever seems to happen.
Twelve year-old Asia watches as her world crumbles around her. Everyone seems to be sick or hurt.
But she can feel the tides turning as things are changing.
Convinced that something is wrong with this world, she sets out to figure out why, suddenly, so many things start going right.
I grew up dreaming of being a pilot. In grade 9 I wrote an awful short story and couldn't get it out of my mind that I had done a horrible job. So I rewrote it right. And I was hooked. I finished my first full-length novel before I was done high school (Fade to Grey), then continued working on other novels (Buzz, Make Jesus Lie, The Good Morning Man, and a few others I scrapped because I got bored). I'm currently working on a 7-book fantasy series that is as much theology as fantasy. I've also started work on another book that I've codenamed "Four". My wife, Jeanette, and I live in Winnipeg, Canada with our son, Jaden. We work together as Youth Pastors. My longterm goal is to be an author full-time.

The head of the Des Moines regatta this past weekend held plenty of exciting rowing action. The course is around 5 kilometers, the typical length of a regatta, and brought rowers together from all around the area including Minnesota.
A few teams to compete from Minnesota were St. Thomas, University of Minnesota Men's Crew, Minnesota Boat Club, and Minneapolis Rowing Club. The teams provided quite a lot of fight which will help in the long run.
This years regatta did not have mother nature playing a factor against it. Last year's regatta had drizzling rain and horrible cold gusts making the rowing not only miserable but impossible. The regatta had to be cut short, though this year everything went according to plan.
University of Minnesota Women's Rowing
The Women Gopher's rowing team prepares for their main season in the spring by partaking in a couple of regattas. This upcoming weekend of October 2nd will unveiled the team in their finest form as they prepare to head on the competition at the Head of the Mississippi. The regatta will be hosted just 10 minutes from downtown in South Minneapolis. The Minnesota Rowing Club has the honor of running the event. Don't forget to check out the action!
University of Minnesota Women's Rowing Schedule:
Head of the Mississippi - October 2nd

South Carolina's "Surface Water Withdrawal, Permitting, Use, and
Reporting Act" explained, that is.
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC, or just DHEC,) held a public meeting last night to not take comments on its implementation of South Carolina's "Surface Water Withdrawal, Permitting, Use, and Reporting Act of 2011." The act was recently utilized in granting an "agricultural registration" of withdrawals of water to be made from the South Edisto River by Walther Farms for its operations outside of Windsor, SC. 400 members of the public (give or take, say, 50?) were on hand at the meeting room of Aiken Electric Coop to listen while DHEC officials explained details of the act's implementing regulation, R.61-119, recently used to grant a registration to Walther Farms' potato chip factory farm.
David Wilson, Chief, SCDHEC Bureau of Water, started off the meeting by describing the meeting as being a forum to inform the public about the law and its implementation. While a question and answer period would follow their presentation, no public input was solicited since it was not a requirement of the law. He then introduced David Baize who carried the attendees through a PowerPoint presentation describing the law and how DHEC used it in granting Walther Farms its "registration" permitting (although no permit was required or issued) its withdrawal of over two billion gallons a month (Note: So much for working around the clock to get the story out. Two billion gallons? No way. The amount should have been stated as over 800 million gallons a month--SVG 01/08/14, 11PM) from the small river for use in its agricultural operations.
Following the presentation, a Q&A session ensued. Comments, mostly, were made about the commenter's thoughts on the law, the regulation, the impact on the environment of the withdrawals, and the potato farm. DHEC's officials fielded the comments and the occasional question with care--answering where answers were possible and side-stepping from time to time due to a legal challenge that had been mounted to their "registration" of the Walther withdrawals.
The meeting ended around nine o'clock with most questions/comments having been taken. More about this will follow, perhaps tomorrow. As of now, your examiner must take a needed rest in order to go to his brother's horse farm outside of Johnson, SC to engage in a part time job involving horses and waste material management: i.e., tomorrow AM at daybreak. While there, I will also take the time to photograph a spring and ensuing creek that constitutes one of the South Edisto's sources of water. Perhaps it is the South Edisto itself, in its infancy.
On my return to civilization (sorry, bro, at daybreak, in sub-20 degree temps, your place is just a bit too severe for my city slicker tastes,) I will return to the matter of the DHEC meeting and organize my pix and thoughts for those of you who would like to hear and see "the rest of the story."

Fudge Brownie Cookie Dough Bites
Taste: These irregularly shaped blobs of chocolate-coated fudge cookie dough were fairly soft to chew and had a sort of brownie-like taste. They didn't taste bad by any means, but the taste was really quite average, just nothing special. Not all brownies are great, but a great brownie is something special indeed. The taste of these was not even a spot-on brownie taste, and it definitely was not reminiscent of a really good brownie.
Shop: Buy snacks at Amazon.com
Aroma: These smelled like brownies, but not really all that good.
From the package
"Bite Size Cookie Dough in Creamy Milk Chocolate" ... "10% more free"
This snack was contributed to Taquitos.net by the manufacturer. Review published .

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) could require those who damage its resources to pay for repairing or replacing them, under new legislation. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) introduced a bill that would allow FWS to go after those who injure natural resources on its property and then restore, repair or replace them without special congressional authority. Cardin introduced the United States Fish & Wildlife Service Resource Protection Act on Wednesday, June 26.
The legislation was referred to the Committee on Environment & Public Works. No other senator has thus far cosponsored the bill. Other federal land management agencies, such as the National Park Service, already enjoy such authority.
In addition to directly repairing the harm, the legislation would allow FWS to use recovered funds to asses damage, minimize further harm and assess its efforts. Current law requires FWS to use its already strained resources to repair or replace damage, unless Congress specifically authorizes money for a given project. The only exception involves oil spills.
Cardin's bill would allow FWS to recover from persons and entities that dump toxic waste or other garbage or pollutants that damage national wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries and wetland management districts as well as the National Conservation Training Center. Cardin says the legislation would be budget neutral.
Other than seek compensation, the legislation would not allow FWS to seek any other punitive damages from parties who damage its resources. Current federal civil and criminal laws can punish those responsible for illegal dumping, but any fines recovered go directly to the U.S. Treasury, not to FWS, let alone to mitigate the damage caused.
Cardin said on the Senate floor that in 2010, for instance, 39 arson incidents were reported on FWS property causing $850,000 in assessed damage. He also cited 2,300 vandalism incidents, such as riding vehicles off roads in proscribed territory.

This is part of an admission exam problem, found at http://www.sissa.it/mp/admission/tests//2008_common.pdf
Consider the Hamiltonian of Kepler problem $$H(\boldsymbol{r},\boldsymbol{p})= \frac{|\boldsymbol{p}^2|}{2\mu} +\frac{\alpha}{|\boldsymbol{r}|}, \qquad \mu>0>\alpha,$$
where $\boldsymbol{r}\in M=\mathbb{R}^3\setminus\{ 0 \}, \ (\boldsymbol{r},\boldsymbol{p})\in T^*M$ and $|\boldsymbol{r}|=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2+r_3^2}$.
The quantities $$\boldsymbol{m}=\boldsymbol{r}\times\boldsymbol{p}, \qquad \boldsymbol{W}=\boldsymbol{p}\times\boldsymbol{m}+ \mu\alpha\frac{\boldsymbol{r}}{|\boldsymbol{r}|}$$ are constants of motion, as is well known.
It is stated then that the flows generated by the functions $m_i$ and $W_i,\ i=1,2,3$ are canonical transformations.
I don't understand is what is meant by this statement: I mean, I know what a canonical transformation is, but I would appreciate some explanation or reference about this precise statement.
Thanks in advance for the help, and I hope this is formulated in compliance with the rules of this community.

Have a Green, Green Holiday
From Dean Dowd on November 13, 2007 in Green Remodeling
According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, an extra million tons of waste are generated each week in the U.S. alone between Thanksgiving and New Year. And each year, Americans throw out enough ribbon to tie a bow around the earth. All this extra stuff takes energy to generate and winds up clogging landfills. We're encouraging you to move away from holiday extravagance toward reducing waste and promoting simple savings measures. Here are some tips for greener holiday décor.
- Recycle the lights you used last year. If you need an upgrade, try switching to LED lights or solar-powered Christmas lights.
- Switch to green fire logs that are petroleum free.
- Enjoy a living tree. Making artificial trees requires burning fossil fuels, whereas living trees come from managed farms or thinning forest areas. Furthermore, a natural tree can be recycled once the holidays are over.
- Avoid giving away plastic junk toys that wind up at the dump or in the donation bag. The manufacturing, packaging, and transportation costs of these toys are high on you and the environment, especially when their shelf life at home is so short.
- Conserve energy. Simply having company during the holidays reduces heating costs as each person increases the level of heat circulating in the home. Other quick energy saving tips that wont cost you a thing include covering your pots while cooking, wearing a sweater and lowering the heat, and insulating your water heater.

Here's a little review of the folk artists I've discovered over the past 6 months. The list is obviously not exhaustive, and I've just selected my 'Fantastic 4', i.e. my 4 favorites. And what you'll see is that this list is made up with girls only! Indeed, I've noticed a kind of good bunch of promising talents for folk or acoustic music in general. And most of them are female artists - which is great actually! Should it be the end of a men's, men's world?... Well, why not! To my mind, a female voice matches better than a male one to the sound and feel of the acoustic guitar, and to folk mood as well. So, below are a few words about each of them. Let the music play, and a big cheer up for the ladies!
My first go will be for a French lady of course! So, here's Gaëlle Buswel, a very talented girl with a stunning voice and a tremendous charisma on stage. You may have noticed many videos or events about her that I've already posted here on Acoustic Guitar Community. Gaëlle is a songwriter and also performs incredible covers during gigs. She's produced her debut CD with American bluesman Neal Black, and it is a real gem of folk, pop and blues. Here's her first official video, of the first single Yesterday's Shadow. A very promising artist - and I reckon : I'm a big fan! Gaëlle, to me you're the best!! ;)
My second fav comes from the chilling Northern Europe, more precisely Sweden. And this is a pair of young sisters who form the band called First Aid Kit. Actually, I discovered them... here! Indeed, someone had posted a video of them performing the song called Waltz For Richard, from their debut CD The Big Black And The Blue. First Aid Kit aren't distributed in France yet, but I managed to get this CD though. And I should say this is real good folk music. Their second album, The Lion's Roar, is out now. But I'm afraid they're going a bit too much towards caricatural look and music, a bit far from the authenticity and simplicity of their first album. Please girls, don't do too much. However, at least, this just my humble opinion. Whatever, here's the video that made me discover them, you'll be blown away by their beautiful voices and harmonies :
My third coming is a brit folk girl: Laura Marling. I've first read about her on the excellent British website For Folk's Sake. A very energic girl, very simple, spontaneous and authentic, who reminds me alot of celtic music tunes, harmonies, and instruments. I don't know all about her songs, but the ones I've listened to really touched me. She's also gifted for artwork, which is very fine to me too! She's an uprising and promising folk artist in the UK now. Here's her latest video that I could listen to over and over again!
And the last one isn't the least! She's my latest discover, so I won't tell much yet about her : Aimee Gould. This 18-year-old English girl from Southampton, Hampshire is a pure gem of songwriting, in the simplicity and efficiency of the traditional folk storytellers. But with a young, fresh touch of pop in her arrangements or her compositions. Anyway, I've been really surprised and bewitched when I first heard Fears :
Fears (Original) by Aimee Gould
Well that's it! Quick review, I didn't tell that much I know, but their music will tell you very much more I guess. Congratulations ladies, and go go go girls! Thanks for your music and talent.

College Hockey:Last Knight Standing
St. Norbert Rides 26-Game Unbeaten Streak to Pole Position, Adrian Picks Up Additional First Place Vote, Drops One Rung; Conference Playoff Champs Trinity and UMass-Dartmouth Seize Spots Vacated by Colby and New England College in Final D-III Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — In the final USCHO.com mens Division III poll, St. Norbert found itself in a familiar spot.
On top for nearly the entire second half of the season, the Green Knights lost two first place votes — two understandably to Adrian, the other, much more curious, went to Elmira — but remained a resounding choice as voters top ranked team.
The idle Plattsburgh Cardinals remained second while third ranked Elmira fell one spot (despite adding a first place tally) to fourth after losing a 1-0 heartbreaker to then-No. 4 Manhattanville in the ECAC West championship game.
The Valiants, meanwhile, have won three consecutive hard-fought contests as they get set to face-off against fifth ranked Norwich in an NCAA quarterfinal tilt.
Since a 4-0 whitewashing at the hands of Colby, the Cadets have been on fire, besting Bowdoin 6-4 and Skidmore 8-0 in the preliminary rounds of the ECAC East conference tournament.
Then in the semis, they continued their remarkable run by knocking off UMass-Boston, 5-2, and walloping Salem State, 8-2, to take home the title. Next up? No. 3 Manhattanville on Saturday evening.
St. Thomas, too, has been extremely impressive as of late. Also winners of three straight, the Tommies, rebounding from a 4-1 defeat at St. Olaf, posted consecutive wins over the Oles (7-3), then convincingly knocked off Bethel (7-1) and then-No. 12 Hamline to take home to MIAC crown.
Ninth ranked UW-Stout will be their next opponent. Face-off is scheduled at their home rink in St. Paul at 7 p.m. CDT Wednesday night.
Despite not playing this past week, Hobart moved up two spots to seventh.
Defending national champion Oswegos season is over. After falling in the SUNYAC championship game to Plattsburgh (and one spot to eighth in the poll), the NCAA committee failed to offer them an at-large bid. For the first time since 2003-04, D-III will have no repeat champion.
The University of Wisconsin-Stout is moving in the opposite direction.
The pollsters rewarded their tenacity and guile in taking top ranked St. Norbert — unbeaten now in 26 straight games — to overtime in the NCHA championship game. Though eventually falling 4-3, the Blue Devils ascended two spots to ninth.
Conversely, Middlebury fell two rungs on the D-III ladder after heartbreakingly dropping its title tilt to big underdog Trinity, 3-2, in double overtime.
And then we have Adrian. Though their 20 game winning streak will be intact when they begin their second season at the Division III level, it will not be because they took home the national title.
The Bulldogs, falling again in the poll, now at No. 11, were not chosen by the NCAA committee. Despite winning both the regular season and postseason MCHA tournaments, posting a 26-3-0 mark, and not having tasted defeat since Nov. 30, 2007, they wont get a chance to show how well they match up to D-IIIs most storied programs.
While UW-River Falls, their season also now complete, remained at No. 12, spots 13 and 14 were taken by teams who were rewarded for strong showings in their conference tournaments.
Trinity upset previous No. 14 Colby, 2-1, in the NESCAC semis before ending Middleburys season in shocking fashion with the thrilling overtime victory.
Similar good fortune befell the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth who defeated Nichols, 5-3, to capture the ECAC Northeast crown. The Corsairs, now ranked No. 14 in the country, host the Bantams for the first round of the NCAA tournament on Wednesday.
Tied for the No. 12 position last week, Hamlines loss to St. Thomas dropped them to No. 15.
Colby and New England College, semifinal losers both, dropped out of the last poll of the season.

UCLA Softball on Twitter | UCLA Softball on Facebook
2014 UCLA Softball Media Guide
Los Angeles Super Regional Tournament Central (links to ticket info, video, audio and live stats)
LOS ANGELES - Freshman Delaney Spaulding hit UCLA's eighth grand slam of the season in the bottom of the sixth, as the third-seeded Bruins recorded their 20th comeback victory of the year in a 6-4 triumph over #14 Kentucky in Game 1 of the Los Angeles Super Regional on Saturday at Easton Stadium.
The Bruins improve to 52-6 overall and are one win away from advancing to the Women's College World Series. Game 2 of the L.A. Super Regional will be on Sunday at 12 p.m., with the if necessary Game 3 to be played at 3 p.m. Tickets will be available at Easton Stadium, starting at 10:30 a.m. Sunday's action will also be televised live on ESPNU, along with free live audio and stats at UCLABruins.com. Kentucky falls to 47-17 on the year.
2014 USA Softball Player of the Year finalist Ally Carda struck out eight in a complete game to move to 32-4 on the year. She retired the side in order in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth innings, striking out a pair in each of the last three frames. The junior allowed four runs, five hits and one walk. At the plate, the Bruins had four hits.
The Bruins scored a pair in the second without the aid of a hit. Senior Jessica Hall walked to open the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice by senior Alyssa Tiumalu. Junior Gracie Goulder was hit by a pitch, and one out later, Carda walked to load the bases. Spaulding then lifted a line drive to right, but it was dropped by Emily Gaines, allowing Hall and Goulder to score the game's first two runs.
In the top of the third, one swing of the bat put the visitors up. With one out, Ginny Carroll walked, Christian Stokes singled to the 5-6 hole and Sylver Samuel bunted to the right side for a hit to load the bases. One out later, Griffin Joiner hit a grand slam just inside the pole down the left-field line to make it 4-2.
The score remained the same until the bottom of the sixth. Hall led off the inning with a double to center, which was followed by a high fly ball to center by Tiumalu that was dropped by Samuel, allowing Hall to get to third and Tiumalu to second. Two outs later, Carda was walked intentionally to load the bases for Spaulding, who belted her eighth homer of the season to left to give the Bruins a 6-4 lead. UCLA would finish off the victory in the seventh to record its seventh last at-bat win of the year.

Idea-Zap: Enternships – from Paris to Bolivia!
Enterprising young graduate launches Enternships.com – an innovative service to help graduates cope in the current jobs crisis – widely supported by the entrepreneur and start-up community.
Rajeeb Dey, 23, who graduated last year from the University of Oxford and was President of student society – Oxford Entrepreneurs, has used his dense network of contacts and understanding of students, to challenge the stereotypical 'graduate milkround job' and traditional internships in large corporations by starting Enternships. Enternships is the first online platform to successfully recruit people for roles in distinctly entrepreneurial companies, with a focus on small businesses. The scheme was successfully piloted as a listing service whilst Dey was a student at Oxford University. Despite no active marketing to companies, over 160 Enternships were posted on the website; these were advertised to students through the Oxford Entrepreneurs network – one of the largest networks of student entrepreneurs in Europe.
The premise of the new site is very simple, employers sign up and post placements and potential enterns upload their CVs and apply for them. Employers are then able to manage the entire recruitment process, from posting a vacancy to filtering, interviewing and selecting candidates, via the website. With the growing mobility of graduates Enternships also recognises the importance of having global exposure as early as possible, and has representatives marketing the concept to start-ups and potential enterns in India and the US, with placements currently available in diverse locations ranging from Paris to Bolivia.
So what are you waiting for Startup Employers in Africa? Join the community, post your entern vacancy and reap rewards by just empowering graduates.
Scott Cain, Deputy CEO of Make Your Mark, said:
"Enternships provides a brilliant match between young people hungry for experience and dynamic, entrepreneurial firms. And like all good businesses, the timing is spot on."

California's Tax Credit Bidding 'Hasta La Vista' To Buyers
California is burning through the cash it has set aside to entice first-time home buyers to purchase homes.
Last month, the state began offering a tax credit to first-timers who can get back 5% of the purchase price of their home up to $10,000, payable over three years. California pledged $100 million for the credit, which expires on Dec. 31 or until the cash is exhausted—and it looks like that could happen very soon.
Through last Tuesday, the state had received more than 15,000 tax credit applications for nearly $78 million in tax credits, according to the state's Franchise Tax Board. At the current rate, that means it would reach the $100 million mark by the end of June. Of course, not all of those applications may qualify, and the state has said it will accept at least 28,000 applications so that it has enough valid applications to use up the entire $100 million.
California is also offering a tax credit for those who purchase new homes. That credit, which also offers $10,000 over three years, has received applications worth nearly $36.4 million, and seems less likely to run out of cash soon. That means new homes could begin looking a bit more attractive for some buyers (of course, this assumes that mom-and-pop sellers don't begin to reduce their prices once the tax-credit prop goes away).
There have been early signals that home-buying activity had plunged in many markets after the federal tax credit expired on April 30, but California appears to have largely avoided the swoon thanks, in part, to the state tax credit. While many markets have reported 25% drops in new contracts signed in May from one year earlier, the declines have been more modest in certain California markets. Contracts were up 16% in Los Angeles from a year earlier, for example, up 15% in the Napa region, up 2% in San Francisco's East Bay, and down 3% in San Diego.

Defining my passion
I love chocolate. At least, I thought I did; that is, until I set foot in your store from my small town life in Fitchburg, WI. My brother-in-law planned a busy week for us in Seattle when we visited last week. He knows and shares my love for the food of the gods. He brought us to Theo. When I walked in I was captivated. From the lighting and presentation of chocolate, to the samples and the amazing staff who oozed genuine passion for customer service, you had me at hello. One taste of the flavors, the pure flavors and lack of grit in such dark chocolate, hit me as powerfully as Cupid's arrow meeting its mark! I love chocolate. But, now, that love belongs to Theo! Thank you for defining my passion. To continued success and sustainability! I will visit again when I can. Regards,
-Karin R. via e-mail

As officials advise the public to take extra precautions during today's record-breaking Winter Storm Ion, one less discussed warning is that drinking alcohol in freezing temperatures can result in rapid death.
"This storm will be one for the record books, and we want to make sure everyone stays safe and warm until it passes," Gov. Pat Quinn said in a statement on Saturday. "State crews continue working around the clock to keep residents safe and to respond to any emergency situations that may occur."
The National Weather Service forecasts historically cold temperatures throughout Illinois just after heavy snow blanketed much of the north.
A Wind Chill Warning was issued for much of the Chicago metropolitan area, along with dozens of other major U.S. cities.
Wind chills will be between -40 and -50 there in Chicago and as low as -65 in some places, such as North Dakota where power outages have already occurred on Sunday.
State police are warning drivers that road conditions are expected to "deteriorate" throughout much of the nation Sunday night and into Monday morning.
Kane County Sheriff's Office warned residents that road conditions were "deteriorating rapidly" Sunday.
"The higher winds are starting to cause roads to drift over and become impassable," said Lieutenant Pat Gengler in a statement.
Being in an accident or having a car stall in such icy, windy, snow drifting conditions can cause frostbite and be fatal.
Human flesh can freeze within five minutes in such harsh conditions.
Drinking alcohol in such conditions also be fatal.
Alcohol and freezing storm conditions don't mix
One precaution not discussed as much as others is to not consume alcohol if stuck in the cold or heading into it for unavoidable reason.
While drinking alcohol has a reputation for warming us up on cold days because it makes us feel warmer when we drink it, the truth is that it can actually result in death.
Alcohol does nothing to warm us up and is a quick way to die from hypothermia in a cold environment.
Mythbusters explains:
Alcohol may make your skin feel warm, but this apparent heat wave is deceptive. A nip or two actually causes your blood vessels to dilate, moving warm blood closer to the surface of your skin, making you feel warmer temporarily. At the same time, however, those same veins pumping blood closer to the skin's surface cause you to lose core body heat - the heat you need to survive, especially if you're stuck in a snowdrift.
"If you go out in the cold after drinking, because you've got a lot of heat on the periphery of your body, you can lose heat very easily and quickly. And that can be dangerous," says Professor Colin Drummond, head of the Section of Alcohol Research at King's College London. "That takes blood and heat away from the core of your body. So while it feels like you're warm because your skin is warm, your vital organs aren't as warm as you might think they are."
Drinking heavily and then venturing out into arctic conditions, the faulty internal thermometer along with the dulling of senses and bravado that alcohol can create, can spell trouble.
"Drinking too much leads to bad decisions," says Prof Drummond. "If you drunkenly decide to walk home across a snowy field instead of getting a taxi, you're putting yourself at risk. Hypothermia can take hold quickly and can even lead to death."
For this reason, if one sees a homeless person or youth out in these extreme conditions, it is better to reach out and help or to call a friend or 911 for help.
Other precautions being issued amid Ion
Public Alerts also advises one take the following precautions in Winter Storm Ion:
- Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can result in heart attack - a major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.
- Stay dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly.
- Watch for frostbite signs: loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately.
- Conserve fuel, if necessary, by keeping your residence cooler than normal. Temporarily close off heat to some rooms.
The Red Cross has released information on being prepared for the winter storm, including knowing the difference between public announcements:
- Winter Storm Outlook - Winter storm conditions are possible in the next 2 to 5 days.
- Winter Weather Advisory - Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous. When caution is used, these situations should not be life threatening.
- Winter Storm Watch - Winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. People in a watch area should review their winter storm plans and stay informed about weather conditions.
- Winter Storm Warning - Life-threatening, severe winter conditions have begun or will begin within 24 hours. People in a warning area should take precautions immediately.

(Disclaimer - I work in a HS math center, helping students. This is from an Algebra/Trig text used by both sophomores and juniors depending on the class. Every so often, I hit an odd situation that I don't recall how to solve. Is this a paradox, or is there a preferred answer?)
I read thru How do you compute negative numbers to fractional powers? twice, and the issue isn't with i, the students know how to handle a simple square root of -1, it's more practical - do I suggest they raise to the power first, take the root first, or object to a non-integer power of a negative number? Much of the answer linked is well beyond their level.

STANFORD, Calif. - The NCAA honored 712 Division I sports teams with public recognition awards for their latest multi-year Academic Progress Rate scores and ten Stanford athletic teams--football, men's indoor track and field, wrestling, women's basketball, women's golf, women's gymnastics, softball, women's swimming and diving, women's volleyball and women's water polo--were rated in the top ten percent of all teams in their respective sports.
These teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The teams recognized this year represent 11.4 percent of the 6,272 Division I teams. The list includes 401 women's teams and 311 men's or mixed squads. A total of 192 Division I institutions had at least one team on the top APR list. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 965 to a perfect 1,000 over the data collection period.
The effort is part of a public-recognition program the Division I Board of Directors approved in January 2006. Last year, a total of 839 teams were recognized.
For the second consecutive year, Yale University had the most teams (28) recognized. By conference, the Ivy Group had by far the most number of teams honored (150), followed by the Patriot League (89) and the Big East Conference (47).
By sport, women's tennis featured the most teams (46), followed by women's volleyball (41) and women's golf (39). The men's sport with the highest number of teams were basketball and cross country (both with 33) and golf (32). This is the first year that basketball led men's sports.
Last year, a total of 839 teams were recognized. There are fewer awards this year than last year because there are fewer teams with perfect scores. The number of teams in some sports may exceed 10 percent depending on how many achieved perfect 1,000 APR scores. In some sports, teams had to maintain a perfect score over the four-year period in order to be recognized.
