Online Degrees to Benefit Military Personnel Announced
October 11, 2012
Dignitaries from Lindenwood University, the Missouri National Guard, and the City of St. Charles gathered today at the school to showcase the launch of two online degree programs, a Bachelor of Arts in general studies and a Master of Arts in leadership. The programs are designed to meet the needs of military personnel, who often benefit from the flexibility of online courses.
The online bachelor's degree in general studies and master's degree in leadership were chosen in response to feedback provided by members of the Missouri National Guard, who requested them specifically. Both will be available in January of 2013.
Attendees of the ceremony also had the opportunity to hear from members of the University's new Student Veterans Organization and to take a sneak peak at the school's Veterans Affairs Center, which will officially open in November. It will be a fully staffed center where military students can hold meetings, complete coursework, gain information about their academic status, and more.
"It will be more than just a room, but a one-stop shop where veterans and service members can get the answers they need in the manner they deserve," said Jann Weitzel, PhD, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. "In addition to our new online offerings, it will be another way in which we honor our commitment to military personnel and thank them for choosing Lindenwood University as their partner in education."Related Items:

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will wrap up their final non-conference game Tuesday, Dec. 27 against Big Ten foe Indiana in Bloomington, Ind.

The Daily Startup: GT Nexus, TradeCard Link Up in Global Supply-Chain Merger
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Oakland, Calif.-based GT Nexus and New York-based TradeCard have agreed to merge, VentureWire has learned, creating a global supply-chain management company that would employ about 1,000 people and serve about 20,000 businesses in industries ranging from manufacturing to retail to pharmaceuticals, assuming that regulators approve the deal. Both companies are venture-backed and share an investor–Warburg Pincus. Terms of the proposed merger are not disclosed and the new company, which would be based in Oakland, is not yet named.
Essex Woodlands Health Ventures has promoted five growth-equity investors ahead of plans to raise $600 million to $900 million for a new fund that it will devote entirely to growth investments. The firm, which closed its $900 million eighth fund in 2009, has been investing mostly in growth equity for several years. With its growth-equity deals outperforming its venture portfolio, it's decided to invest its next fund in growth equity only, according to Martin Sutter, co-founder and managing director. It expects to begin marketing fund nine in the second quarter.
Also in today's VentureWire, Enbala Power Networks closed on $7.4 million in a still-open round, VentureWire has learned, as the company positions its technology as an alternative to expensive electric grid storage technologies like batteries. Enbala's technology helps shift power use on the grid by controlling industrial equipment of its customers…GE Healthymagination, which invests in medical technology startups as part of General Electric $6 billion initiative to improve health-care delivery and cut costs, is making these investments at an earlier stage nowadays than it would have done in the past, and is also beefing up its presence in Silicon Valley, snagging two investors from top-flight venture firms…and About five years ago, Infusionsoft decided to sell its automated sales and marketing software solely to small businesses. Now that focus is paying off. The company has raised over $54 million in Series C funding led by Goldman Sachs at a valuation of over $200 million, according to co-founder and Chief Executive Clate Mask.

Crowdfunding advocates have found ways to raise money within current rules as they wait for the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue regulations to implement provisions of the JOBS Act that would make it easier for startups to raise money from the public, the New York Times says.
Hatteras Venture Partners has raised $125 million for its fourth fund with help from the Small Business Administration's new early-stage venture program, the News & Observer reports. The SBA has given six firms the green light to raise funds under the program. Hatteras, based in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park, is the first fund to obtain a license from the SBA. Run through the agency's Small Business Investment Company debentures program, the initiative will match whatever a firm can raise privately up to $50 million.

Science Features
Social, fun-seeking, comedic, and sometimes feisty, sea otters are endearing because they're a lot like us. Scientists now know that we have something else in common with sea otters: Both of us can get the flu.
During an August 2011 sea otter health monitoring project, scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that northern sea otters living off the coast of Washington state were exposed to the same flu virus that caused the 2009 world-wide pandemic in people. The exact date and source of exposure could not be determined, but the findings suggest that human flu can infect sea otters.
"Our study shows sea otters to be a newly identified animal host of influenza viruses," said USGS scientist Hon Ip.
Compromised Cuties
Otters are valuable beyond their child-like charisma:
However, sea otters are also imperiled. These marine mammals were nearly killed off due to intensive fur harvesting in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, two wild sea otter populations in the U.S. are federally listed as threatened, which makes otter diseases — including flu — all the more dire.
The 2009 Pandemic
If you or someone you know got sick from the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, commonly called "swine flu," you weren't alone. That year, the World Health Organization declared the infection a pandemic. The CDC estimates that between 43 million and 89 million human cases of the H1N1 infection occurred in the United States between April 2009 and April 2010, causing up to 18,300 related deaths.
The H1N1 virus has spread globally among people since 2009 and was the predominant flu virus in circulation during the 2013-2014 flu season.
The Otter Victims
The USGS and CDC researchers discovered antibodies for the 2009 H1N1 flu virus in blood samples from 70 percent of the sea otters studied during a 2011 otter health monitoring project. None of the otters were visibly sick, but the presence of antibodies means that they were previously exposed to influenza.
Further tests concluded that the antibodies were specific to the pandemic 2009 H1N1 flu virus, and not from exposure to other human or avian H1N1 viruses.
So, how did these animals get sick?
Scientists aren't sure.
"This population of sea otters lives in a relatively remote environment and rarely comes into contact with humans," said CDC scientist Zhunan Li.
An unrelated 2010 study showed that northern elephant seals sampled off the central California coast had also been infected with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus. This elephant seal exposure is the only other known pandemic H1N1 influenza infection in marine mammals, and similar to sea otters, it is unclear how the seals were exposed.
The new study is the first time that evidence of influenza infection has been detected in sea otters, although these viruses have previously been found in many other animals, including ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, and the seals.
"Our report identifies sea otters as another marine mammal species that is susceptible to influenza viruses and highlights the complex interspecies transmission of flu viruses in the marine environment," said USGS scientist LeAnn White.

- weird.I already made a very long review for the other bb's, the .2 tracers, so i'm going to be frank. (note the vocab.) These are the same as the others you have to buy for the tracer and they are expensive. If you have lots of money and not much left to do with your gun, just try these, but don't waste them by using them during the day - and get the tracer.
Also these are good for trying to find people in the dark without using the flashlight. bye bye now.
- THE BOMBThese BB's are the best for the night rounds or on dark areas in airsoft. These BB's I would use for the snipers or heavy guns like the SCAR, SAW, or the M16/M4. For small arms I would use a .12 or .2 BB's, but I still recommended you get this for only snipers for you need to be a sharp shooter and it is hard to get a good shot in the dark. I would not mix these BB's with other BB's for it is hard to get them out of the other BB's even with the lights off. You will need to get a tracer unit and these are tracers so you might want to hide if you shoot and miss the target you were trying to hit. Never use in the day or in the light for it is just wasting the BB's. The price for these BB's is bad so save your ammo with non automatic guns. Don't shoot for fun either; that is the other way to waste ammo with this item ...
you can see were your BB's went in the dark.
O.K. that is it and don't shoot in the dark.
- They work but...They work well but if you don't mix them with normal BB's and move around a lot (this is if you're playing at night), the other team can find you very easily.
- wicked rounds.of course these are going to look cool when there's a stream of light flying out of the muzzle toward your enemy, but common sense does apply.
perfect for high accuracy weapons, the higher weight .25, will give you more accuracy than what you may already have, or add accuracy to where it may be lacking. plus the tracer factor is amazing for tracking your fire pattern when you're engaging long range targets. just remember to position yourself out of their range and hide, common sense, if you're using these bb's, it's obviously dark, so hiding is easy, and another tactic to follow when using these rounds, is to only fire in bursts or stagger your munition so your enemy cannot follow the stream of fire to your position.
Another amazing tactic is bait firing. just put your men in hidden positions among the field, and fire these rounds over your men's position from a distance, to draw that over confident enemy to your allies positions for ambush.
the only thing i do have trouble with the tracer flasher, rounding in at eighty bucks, it can be tough on the wallet. as well as adding 6 inches to the length of your gun, which can be a positive as well for that more long range, and hefty feel but a downer on compactness. however there are magazines that have built-in lights that charge the bb's light more discretely, and at a fraction of the cost. shorty should pick some up. there are cons the mag's though, such as lower mag caps, and being specific to a certain gun, whereas a tracer suppressor, can be fit onto any weapon with a CCW or CW.
soooo many options for the use of tracers. the new airsofters and old can come up with so many uses for these rounds. Anyone who plans on building an arsenal, or layout, should have these. you will not be disappointed
- goodDon't waste these bb's for daytime use - use at dusk or night.
Mix them with normal bb's.

A Special Message to the World.
"As we start 2014, it is time that people understand that there is only one race on the Earth – the Human Race. Therefore, the artificial barriers and divisions that exist must be eliminated, for the World to live as One.
We are all going around together, and we must share a collective responsibility not only to protect the planet, but to make human existence one free of hunger, poverty, war and many of the other global issues.
Human consciousness needs to rise to this level of awareness for Human existence to attain a higher level. The fact that millions of children die from hunger and poverty every year does not paint a positive picture and negates human development, which seems to be measured solely by technological development.

Arlee Pow-wow starts Tuesday, Rodeo begins Wesnesda} Arlee: The annual Fourth of July Arlee Pow-Wow will be bigger and better this year!!! For one thing, the flush toilet on the Pow-Wow ground will be in operating condition when the event starts July 2 according to Pow-Wow Committee Chairman Vic Matt. For another thing, the much reviled beer stand on the Pow-Wow grounds won't be working....thus assuring that the toilet will continue to work throughout the five days of Pow-Wow ac- tivities. The Tribal Council decided to nix the beer stand this year because, as one councilman put it, "It is more trouble than it is worth." Quite a few old long-hairs and Indians with families have avoided the Arlee Pow-Wow since the beer stand was started six years ago because, as Bud Barnaby put it, "It just isn't the Indian way."

Spokesman Advises Frizzell Praises Using Legal Channels Ronan: Some 2,000 reservation settlers gathered at the Rc nan High School playing field to hear a high Nixon administration official talk about Indian-white relationships on the reservation. Kent Frizzell, the Chief Solicitor for the Department of the Interior, told the gathering that friction on the reservation over water, jurisdiction and taxes could only be resolved through the established channels. Frizzell said that if non-tribal members feel they have a grievance, they should take their complaint to court or try to have the laws changed. He recommended that the two sides, the leadership of the organization Montanans Opposed to Discrimination (MOD) and the Tribal Council, attempt to meet and resolve some of the problems. But several MOD leaders and other speakers at the gathering seemed to disagree with the moderate attitude proposed by Frizzell. Congressman Richard Shoup, a Republican seeking reelection in November, seemed to be telling the gathering what they wanted to hear. "The pendulum of discrimination," he said,"is swinging for Indians rather than against them." He also pointed out that Indians have one advocate in the federal government...that is Reid Chambers of the Department of Interior who attended the gathering with Frizzell...and asked "Where is the non-member advocate?" Shoup, a two term representative of the western district of Montana, also criticized the semi-soveriegn nation principle in Indian law. He reminded the crowd of his efforts to squash reservation provisions in a Senate passed national planning act (SB2 6 8) and said he believed "There are no soveriegn nations within this nation." Shoup also sounded a disturbing theme that cropped up in several of the speeches Thursday night...the possibility of SETTLERS (cont. on page 17) Council's Attitude Dixon: Chief Department of the Interior Solicitor Kent Frizzell told the Tribal Council that "you people seem to be handling a touchy situation in a reasonable and rational manner." Frizzell was talking about the current concern among some non-members on the reservation over the Council's assertion of treaty rights. Frizzell said he told non-Indian members of Montanan's Opposing Discrimination (MOD) that they must abide by the laws and that he would "bring in federal marshals, if necessary, to see that there is law and order on this reservation." Frizzell and Chief Indian Advocate Reid Chambers met with the Tribal Council June 13, shortly before a mass gathering of non-members in Ronan (see story in next column). The two were in the state for a conference on Indian jurisdiction in Helena and came to the reservation at the beckoning of Congressman Richard Shoup. Shoup had set up a 2 4-hour "whirlwind" tour of the reservation and indoc-FRIZZELL (cont. on page 17) Tribe-BPA Settle on Power Right of Way Dixon: The Tribal Council and the Bonneville Power Administration came to terms June 13 on a renewable agreement for power line easements on the utility's Dayton to Hungry Horse line.

1.2-5 Stricken Evidence
Revised to January 1, 2008
I have just stricken <identify
evidence> from the evidence in this case. That evidence is not a part of
this case, and you should banish it completely from your minds. You may not
consider it in deciding the issues in this case.
Many lawyers and judges believe
that reference to stricken evidence during the final charge to the jury is more
prejudicial than it is helpful. A trial court judge may decide that a
sufficiently forceful charge given at the time the evidence is stricken may
obviate the need or desire for a further charge at the end of the case.

Obama Promises to Act on Climate Change
By Siobhan Hughes and Keith Johnson
President Barack Obama vowed to "respond to the threat of climate change," using his second inaugural address to press an environmental agenda that Republicans blocked in his first term.
"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," Mr. Obama said. "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms."
Environmentalists cheered the remarks, hoping that Mr. Obama would push harder to control greenhouse-gas emissions than he did in his first term. Republicans, many of whom are skeptical about global warming, were silent on a day when the GOP caucus was doing its best to tamp down long-held feelings of frustration with the Obama administration.
Mr. Obama has repeatedly pledged to make climate a second-term priority, but his options are limited. Legislation to curb emissions of greenhouse gases died in the Democratic-controlled Senate in 2010, and House Republicans aren't likely to take it up again. Likewise, the House GOP is opposed to a tax on carbon.
That means Obama administration efforts to curb emissions would be limited, and most likely would involve Environmental Protection Agency actions to require cleaner power plants. Notably, the surge of natural-gas production has helped reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by displacing use of coal.
Mr. Obama said that "the path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult," but said that "American cannot resist this transition, we must lead it." He said that "we cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise."
Mr. Obama's first term was marked by support for solar energy, wind farms, and electric batteries — technologies that came under attack from Republicans. The failure of solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra Inc. gave the GOP ammunition to argue that the Obama administration was wasting money on technology that was not economically viable. Then A123 Systems, a car-battery maker that was heavily promoted by the Obama administration, filed for bankruptcy, further complicating the White House's efforts to jump-start an electric car industry.

STOCKTON - Police are trying to determine who ransacked and burglarized a home where a 94-year-old woman was found dead Tuesday morning, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched about 6:20 a.m. on a report of a broken door at a home in the 500 block of West Bianchi Road, police said. Inside they found an elderly woman who had been dead for some time, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
The woman appeared to have died of natural causes, but an autopsy will determine the exact cause of death, Silva said. It appeared the woman's home had been ransacked a number of times after her death, Silva said.

Coming off a heated election season, one of the many accomplishments in the storied lives of Rufus Dawes and Adoniram J. Warner may seem particularly hard to believe.
The two Civil War generals, both of whom are buried in Marietta's Oak Grove Cemetery, remained friends even as they faced each other in a pair of elections for the U.S. House of Representatives.
"It was a very civil political opposition," local historian Scott Britton said. "These guys had a lot of respect for each other because they knew what they had gone through in their service."

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
In Oak Grove Cemetery Thursday, Marietta resident Barb Moberg looks at the grave monument for her great-great-grandfather, Rufus Dawes, a Civil War general who faced fellow Gen. Adoniram J. Warner in two Congressional elections in 1880 and 1882.
Although they both lived in Marietta after the war, Dawes and Warner didn't meet until the eve of the Battle of Antietam near Sharpsburg, Md., in 1862.
Dawes was a major with the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, having joined a company there while working for his father's lumber business. Warner was a lieutenant colonel with the 10th Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry.
Dawes assumed command of his unit when his commander was wounded during the battle. Despite being in some of the most intense fighting in the cornfield at Antietam, Dawes came through the battle with nothing more serious than a bullet having grazed his calf, said Dan Hinton, commander of the local Gen. Benjamin D. Fearing Camp No. 2 of the Sons of Union Veterans.

Meanwhile, Warner was shot as he directed his troops into a nearby cornfield. Although the bullet shattered his pelvis, an injury causing effects he felt for the rest of his life, it wasn't his last military action. Britton said he returned to duty less than a year later, just prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, where he and Dawes once again fought on the same battlefield.
To get there, he left the hospital in Washington, D.C., and rode on horseback to Pennsylvania.
"I can't even imagine the excruciating pain for him," Britton said. "He was going back to defend his home state no matter what."
Although Dawes went through the war without serious injury, he suffered effects that "weren't as visible," Hinton said. He recalled a letter Dawes wrote to his wife while serving in Congress, describing how he went to Arlington National Cemetery to visit the graves of each of the men who'd died under his command.
"He was proud of his service, but he had some survivor's guilt," Hinton said.
Dawes was born in Morgan County, but his family moved to Marietta at an early age and he settled there after the war. Warner was assigned to court martial duty at different points in the United States, including Indiana where he served as a pallbearer when President Abraham Lincoln's body was transported through the area en route to his final resting place at Springfield, Ill. Later he was assigned to Cambridge, Ohio, and eventually settled farther south at Marietta, Britton said.
Warner, a Democrat, was elected to Congress as a representative of Ohio's 13th Congressional District. Redistricting apparently moved him to the 15th District in 1880 where he faced Dawes, the Republican nominee.
The campaign was described as "fiercely partisan (but) personally friendly" in "Portrait of an American: Charles G. Dawes," a biography of Rufus Dawes' son, who served as vice president of the United States under President Calvin Coolidge.
The men differed on various political issues, including on what the U.S. currency system should be based. Dawes favored the gold standard, while Warner was a "bimetallist," supporting the use of gold and silver.
Apparently there was some limit to the friendliness, although young Charles Dawes stepped over that line the night before the election. According to the biography, written by Bascom N. Timmons, Warner's campaign organized a parade and the procession was led by a band that included the future vice president, playing the flute.
"He explained, when he returned home that night, that it was purely a professional appearance for which he had been paid," the biography says. "But to others of the family, it was heresy, compounded by the fact that the remuneration he had received had not even been in sound money; the pay had been a silver dollar!"
Nevertheless, Dawes unseated the incumbent Warner by 502 votes, according to www.ourcampaigns.com, a website community centered around discussion of politics. Two years later, in the rematch, Warner was the victor by 691 votes.
The region recently saw another Congressional rematch, with Democrat Charlie Wilson trying to regain the 6th District seat he'd held for two terms from Republican Bill Johnson. There were great partisan differences there too, and a debate at Marietta College seemed particularly heated, with supporters of both men offering cheers for their candidate and jeers for the opponent.
Britton noted that while many people think the political tone in recent years is at an all-time low, campaigns like those between Warner and Dawes were neither the exception nor the rule in the 19th century. He pointed to the 1856 incident in which South Carolina Congressman Preston Brooks savagely beat Massachusetts Sen. Charles Sumner on the floor of the Senate with a cane.
"Politics has changed, but it's not quite as bad as people think," Britton said.

Being overweight is a topic which must have been addressed, in different ways, millions of times over. As soon as somebody acknowledges that they have become overweight, they often start to show a keen interest in how to shed the new weight and return to normal. It's something that's easy to talk about, but much more difficult to do. A multi billion dollar industry has grown up around it.
Much less mentioned is how people actually put the weight on. Slim people don't usually plan on becoming fat and often don't believe it will happen to them, regardless of whatever lifestyle they lead. Therefore, there's not much point in writing for them if they're not going to read it.
Still, it continues to happen to slim people all around the world. They get fat. Most of them believe that they are 'temporarily fat' at first and that somehow, they'll get back in shape and it's nothing to worry about. It takes a while of being 'temporarily fat' before these people face up to the fact that nothing is changing for them. It's at this point they wish they'd known how to avoid getting into that state.
Everyone is different, but in developed countries there are a number of common factors linking those who put on non-muscle weight. Perhaps most blamed is the body's metabolism slowing down. This happens to many people around the age of 30. People notice themselves putting on weight even though they may not have changed their lifestyle in any way – their eating habits have not changed and they do the same amount of physical activity. It has been suggested that drinking coffee or tea can speed up your metabolism, however these drinks contain drugs which can have other effects on your health.
Another major factor is lifestyle. Throughout school, most kids are physically active every day, playing sports, games, competing and training. In college this drops off a bit, but we still might exercise a couple times a week and we tend to walk a lot. When we start work, especially in office jobs, we start to put on weight as we cease to do physical activity and don't burn the calories we eat. A simple and very effective way to deal with this is to leave the car at home and cycle to work. There are so many benefits to this, it's simply amazing. You end up with a healthier body and a healthier bank balance in addition to a calmer state of mind. The combination of exercise and fresh air before work will likely make you much more productive, too, meaning it's good for your career.
The other major culprit is poor lifestyle choices. Many of us pick up unhealthy habits around college time – smoking, binge drinking, eating junk food, not sleeping enough and so on. Our young bodies can handle the punishment. At first it starts as a series of one-offs or treats. Then it becomes a way of life. College students are often thought to be lazy. This probably comes about from an unhealthy lifestyle. As college ends and we are forced to wear our big boy and big girl pants every day, the smart ones kick the bad lifestyle into touch and start taking care of themselves. Others don't. Some might get top jobs paying big bucks. These young professionals move to places like New York where they spend their paychecks exploring different restaurants, bars and clubs. This lifestyle is certainly swankier than the one they lived in college, but essentially it's the same – blowing their money, polluting their bodies with alcohol and fatty, highly processed foods and not sleeping enough.
Bags start appearing under their eyes, their waistline expands to the point where it's easily noticed even under baggy clothes and they are permanently tired. Even worse, even though they are just about to hit 30, they look around ten years older.
The key to not getting fat is lifestyle. Eat healthily, do exercise. Take responsibility for yourself. There is no point in pointing the blame at your parents, McDonald's or the government. You are doing this to yourself.

Do you know who the Eagle County Conservation District is? The Eagle County Conservation District (ECCD) or Soil and Water District as we are also called, helps landowners with their land ownership questions, concerns and projects. We also help property owners garner funds to help them complete their terra firma goals.
The conservation district is run by an all volunteer board of local land stewards. The district's goal and mission statement is: Promoting the preservation and restoration of the natural resources of the district through education, cooperation and initiation of practices that fulfill these goals.
The ECCD works directly with Natural Resource Conservation Service, a federal agency. The ECCD helps direct the flow of cash into various agricultural projects within the district. Without the conservation district the NRCS cannot filter money into Eagle County. The two entities pour more than $1 million into the Eagle County district alone. The dollars, in the form of cost-share grants; is handed back to land owners wishing to undertake projects that help the agricultural value of their land.
Agricultural value is not translated into dollars necessarily; it is more a question of whether having an improved section of land is more valuable with or without an enrichment project. Projects such as having an irrigation ditch piped (so as to avoid waste, evaporation and flooding) is of better value to everyone in Colorado including the rancher, farmer, land owner and downstream water user. Or for another example; by eradicating noxious weeds the value of a particular pasture is now inherently better to everyone in the community, with the removal of the invasive species.
More than 14 local ranchers are currently seeking cost share money to improve their land or property they work on or own. One can receive matching grant funds for fencing, irrigation, manure containment facilities and much more - as long as there is value.
Still don't get the ECCD? Think of seedling trees and pesticide sales. These two collaborative efforts are some of the successful programs that a person with acreage in this county might take advantage of. You probably get a flyer in the mail every year asking you to buy baby trees. The ECCD allows you to buy trees (such as blue spruce) for only about a dollar a seedling. Or you may receive money back for spraying your weeds and removing your thistle, knapweed, hounds tongue, and more
Another awesome gift from the Eagle County Conservation District to the community is the availability of two scholastic scholarships offered to local students. Students did you know that we give away money for education?
Serving on the district board is a volunteer position. We welcome residents' help and we are currently looking for board members and volunteers. The next meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 5 p.m. at Eagle County Road and Bridge; Bldg. A in Gypsum. If you own or operate property within the district you can serve on the board. You must own two acres or more. If interested call past President and current secretary Katie Langdon for more information at 970-390-1983

Beginning September 1, and once a month thereafter on the first weekend of the month, members of Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Peace and St. Veronica's Parish will be collecting food for community pantries in Wayne and Pike counties.
Donations of food will be received between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and between 7:30 and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The Food Collection Committee is asking for a full or partial bag of food items known to be highly desirable to food pantries, soup kitchens and other programs trying to meet the basic nutrition of people in need. The Food Committee has shopped the list of food requested in local food markets and found the cost of a full bag to be less tahn $25.
A full "bag" would include: two can of tuna, one box of unsweetened cereal, two boxes of macaroni & cheese, 2 can of green vegetables, one can of fruit, two cans of vegetable soup, two cans of baked beans, one box of powdered milk, one jar of peanut butter, one unbreakable jar or can of spaghetti sauce, and one pound of spaghetti or rice.
All food collected will be distributed by the food pantries. No food will be stored in either Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Peace or St. Veronica's church.

P.K. Subban jumped onto the scene in the post-season last year, but if he wants to stick as a favorite, he must reel in his offensive instincts.
There's not much that isn't exciting about P.K. Subban. From the way he carries the puck on the ice to the way he carries himself with a healthy confidence and large grin off of it, Subban is one of those people in life you just can't miss.

The Devils have garnered a lot of off-season attention because of their star players, but it's a role player like Clarkson who could really make a difference.
The Devils' top-six forward crew is home to a hired gun, a homegrown stud and a player returning to the scene of his greatest triumph. Ilya Kovalchuk, Zach Parise and Jason Arnott, the man who scored the overtime Cup-winner for Jersey in 2000, will all be counted on for big things as the Devils move toward being a more goal-hungry club under new coach John MacLean.

Before the season swings in, here are a few quick thoughts on Dustin Byfuglien, Vinny Lecavalier, the Central Division and more.
Some quick hits before the hits start for real shortly. • I, like most, assumed Dustin Byfuglien would hold a forward post with the Atlanta Thrashers, but he's moving back to defense, the position he's apparently most comfortable at.

Unable to fit into Montreal, Sergei Kostitsyn was shipped to Nashville for a new start. At the same time, brother Andrei may improve without the distraction.
No matter how well they get along during the course of their lives, invariably, there are moments when brothers need to be apart. Sometimes just a brief separation is all that's required for both parties to restore proper perspective with regard to the perils of things like flinging food across the dinner table or having the living room couch double as the top rope in a wrestling ring.

In the ever-changing goalie landscape, contracts like Roberto Luongo's are becoming a thing of the past as the position seemingly gets more volatile.
That sound you hear is the furious scratching of Mike Gillis' pencil as he scrambles to include a couple more ludicrous clauses in Roberto Luongo's contract in the hopes it gets voided by the NHL.

A pair of UFAs inked similar deals, but one has the potential for boom or bust while the other will provide exactly what's on the brochure.
The fact Alexander Frolov and Alexei Ponikarovsky signed one-year contracts worth virtually equal amounts offers a lot of insight into what their respective employers value.

At 40 years of age, Mike Modano still has enough left in the tank to help a Detroit team that could use his savvy on the third line.
When your nickname is 'The Professor,' it's only fitting you'd continue producing quality work in the late stages of your career.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol plans stepped-up traffic enforcement and a radio safety campaign over the holidays.
Patrol Col. James Prochniak says the radio campaign will focus safety messages on the slogan, "The Choice is Yours." The Bismarck Tribune reports the North Dakota Safety Council also is launching a program called "A Slippery Slope" to teach people how to drive in winter conditions. The booming western oil patch is drawing people from across the country.
KFGO radio reports that the Patrol on Wednesday plans to have all of its units out on the roads — nearly 150 vehicles. The day before Thanksgiving is a heavy travel day.
As of Monday, 146 people had died on North Dakota roads this year — just two fewer than 2011's final tally.

"I woke up this morning and couldn't even see the sidewalk," said Steve Rose as he evacuated his home.
Rose is one of about 180 people abandoning residences along the Pine River. His street and sidewalk are covered in water.
"It's probably just short of knee deep at the deepest parts right now. Hopefully it doesn't rain anymore because it might go into our apartments at that point," said Rose.
But it will rain more and the Pine River is expected to rise.
"Now it's raining more," said Rose as the rain started again.
Rose was able to get his car out of the water, but others are not as lucky.
"I can't even move my vehicle out. I am afraid that the current will just take it away as it goes," said James Kinney who lives near the Pine River. "Occasionally we get a little flood, but not like this."
In 1986, the Pine River crest was actually two feet higher. The next highest crest was back in 1948, when the water reached nearly 11 feet.
Many folks in Alma know others who have several inches or feet of water in their basements because of the flooding.
"They've got a lot of water coming into their basement right now," said Sherry Mepham as she pointed to houses down stream. "They have got the streets blocked off all around that whole area over there." Mepham works in Alma.
The Pine River spilled over its banks and into the Riverside Park, a playground that is now under water. The River Walk is also flooded. The water even runs up against the Alma Public Library.
"I've never seen the river move this fast, although we did visit back last time Alma flooded. It was worse than this. We could not get close enough to see the dam," said Steve Lord, a science teacher at Alma High School.
The water rushes over and past the dam. The water is so backed-up and so high, buoys--that are about three feet tall and normally visible can barely be seen.
The flooding closed schools in Alma. Those not adversely effected by the flood can be seen walking around the city taking pictures, as if tourists in their own town.
"Oh my gosh, It's just--it's flooded everywhere. This is really weird," said Bonnie Lord, a third grader.
Alma has set up two evacuation shelters. One at the middle school, another at First Presbyterian Church. As of Friday afternoon Phil Moore, the City Manager, said all those who have evacuated have gone to friends or family.
The National Weather Service expects the Pine River to crest at 10 feet around 8 p.m. The water levels are expected to fall after that.

THIS STUFF won't likely arouse any concern among global-warming deniers, but it should be cause for alarm among the rest of us:
Rising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global temperatures to rise, which is leading to the melting of the polar ice caps, which in turn has resulted in rising sea levels and a host of ecological issues.
It�s also causing the chemical makeup of the world�s oceans to change so rapidly. Carbon dioxide, one of the key perpetrators in the lineup of man-made greenhouse gases, is absorbed by seawater, causing a chemical reaction near the ocean surface that results in lowered pH levels. And about one-third of all the man-made carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere ends up absorbed by the oceans. Carles Pelejero, a scientist working less than a mile from La Boqueria at the Institut de Cienci�s del Mar (ICM), on Barcelona�s seafront, calls it �climate change�s evil twin.�

Lots of ideas for teaching operating systems. I remember the crosswords from CS161 and I intend to have crossword and find-and-match exercises. (Should go through the word puzzle book) The paper described a process state transition game and a battlethreads game. The Battlethreads game looks like a good way to emphasize the difference between processes and threads. The process state transition game looks a bit complex and the paper has some cautionary notes.
I'd like to learn under these teachers.
_Very_ interesting citations.

2. Discovery Learning in Introductory Operating System Courses : 23:23
Although we probably won't have computers during class sessions - this is, after all the IBM Room, and we'll probably have a sucky projector too - students might be able to do programming exercises in order to understand operating systems concepts. Students will need Knoppix or another Linux distribution; if I have them install it early, then they can get a quick introduction to C and system calls.
Could this be a potential overlap with systems programming? OS is supposed to prepare them for that anyway. Who knows, they might even replace parts of the OS in their systems programming course. We discussed pairing the operating systems course with the systems programming course during the curriculum review, so it's probably not a bad idea.

1. Summary
Swapped ACM stories with Doc Mana and Eric. Think like they had tons of fun training. Am torn between helping out and keeping distance. Figure that helping out with training a better idea, as will learn more and besides, am not sure will be judge again next year.
Hacked on planner.el some more. Glad to see planner.el contributors are discovering each other's work. =)
Should remember not to panic, or to be very very careful when one does.

"Company" is about relationships you can relate to, and that's what makes it so funny.
"Company" is the Vail Valley Theatre Company's fall production, which opens tonight. The musical comedy is about the wonders and terrors of the opposite sex. Consider Robert, a bachelor in New York City who's trying to answer that age-old question, "Are you the opposite sex, or am I?"
"Company" is a delightful musical romp through Robert's (played by Lance Schober) 35th birthday. His friends, most of them married and all of them couples, throw him a surprise party. They don't know each other, they just know him. He knows about it because of a careless message left by one of those friends, the neurotic Amy (played by Didi Doolittle).
Robert tries to blow out the candles but they stay lit. It's all right, someone cries, he still gets his wish.
But what is his wish? To get married? Or not? And to whom? Or not?
"It has something everyone in a relationship can relate to," said director/choreographer Beth Swearingen. "You'll either see yourself or someone you know."
The legendary Stephen Sondheim composed the music. "Company" is based on a series of 11 one-act plays by George Furth.
The Vail Valley Theatre Company adapted it to the stage at Homestake Peak School in Eagle-Vail. The set is minimal, so it doesn't distract the audience from the stage. Dean Davis, technical director for the Vilar Center, is the technical director for "Company."
Musical director Taylor Kundolf put the musicians on stage with the performers.
"It's more like a concert setting," Swearingen said.
'A regular Joe'
Schober is pitch perfect as Robert. You'll remember Schober as Dr. Frank N. Furter in "The Rocky Horror Show," as Picasso and as Don Quixote - all flamboyant characters.
"The character is a little more challenging because I'm playing a regular Joe," Schober said. "I have to tone some of that back, but still make Robert memorable."
Charis Patterson returns to the stage, this time as Joanne, a sarcastic and biting delight. She belts out one of the signature songs, "The Ladies Who Lunch."
Nicole Whitaker is Marta, one of Robert's three girlfriends.
Fran Gustafson joins the crew for "Company." Heather Lemon steps in front of the footlights as a sweet Southern Belle named Sarah, who's in a happy and romantic divorce.
"Company" provides lots of laughs, both high brow and low brow.
There's a scene where a group sits around and gets stoned. Then there's the wife who's more than a little passive/aggressive.
Everyone is trying to pair Robert off with someone, and each of the deeply envious men has found someone perfect for a night of pleasure or two. When you can have that, they chorus, why would you want to get married ("Have I Got a Girl For You")?
"Community theater is really for the community to come out and support, but also to be a part of. It's a great way to come out and beat the boards," Swearingen said. "I encourage anyone who's even a little bit interested to come out and get involved."
The production doesn't look difficult for the same reasons everything done well doesn't appear difficult.
"This is a show I've wanted to do forever. 'Company' is one of Stephen Sondheim's best musicals," Schober said. "It's something people can relate to, whether they're single or married."
"When it all comes together, it's magic," Schober said.

Irish mass-goers at a Bronx church on Good Friday expressed their disappointment and upset at the recent admissions of child sex-abuse cover-ups in Ireland.
"My faith is still strong in God and I'll continue to go to Mass as long as I'm able, but my heart breaks every time I see in the news about the awful, unexplainable abuse that happened in Ireland, and here I suppose too, over the years," said Ann Daly after attending the Stations of the Cross at St. Barnabas Church in the Bronx on Friday last.
Daly, an immigrant from Co. Roscommon who has been living in the Bronx for more than four decades, was visibly moved when she spoke about the abuse that many of her own generation suffered at the hands of clergymen back in Ireland.
"I suppose it was going on right under my nose back home when we were kids and I didn't even know about it," she speculated.
"We were told to respect the church and what it stood for, and by God we did just that."
Daly, who lost her husband, Joseph three years ago, attends Mass at St. Barnabas every Sunday without fail.
"Do I look at the priests preaching from the alter in the same light I did back when I was younger, or even back before all these scandals broke out? No, but I still respect my parish priest, he is still the man representing God up there and I follow his lines," she added.
Daly, who has three grown daughters, feels faith is essential in living life.
"I couldn't do without it, and my three daughters are pretty good at going to Mass on Sundays although the youngest one doesn't always get out of bed on a Sunday morning," she laughs.
Deborah King and Laura Shields, both in their early twenties, spoke to the Irish Voice after "doing our Good Friday" duties.
"To be honest we don't go to Mass every week but it's Easter so we said we would make the effort," smiles Shields, whose parents are from Co. Leitrim and Co. Cork.
King, whose grandparents are also Irish immigrants, said she would go to Mass more regularly if she wasn't as "turned off" since the sex abuse scandals.
"I've no problem speaking out about this," said King, a nurse.
"A lot of people don't want to upset the priests because you can't paint everyone with the same brush, and I don't do that, but it's just absolutely disgusting what went on behind closed doors, and it's all only coning to light now."
Shields, like her friend, is equally upset.
"My mother's niece back in Ireland was abused for years and she didn't tell anyone until she was in her late 30s, which was only about six years ago," said Shields.
"I better not say the town in Leitrim but the parish priest there, who was a family friend would you believe, used to sexually abuse my young cousin after school and during church events."
Shields, an office worker, added that her cousin has been getting counseling and has successfully managed to sue the church in Ireland.
"Well, it's not about the money, is it? These creeps took advantage of young kids when their parents thought they were in trusty hands, and it messed them up for life," Shields added.
The ladies said they continue to go to Mass more out of "Catholic guilt," but they do admit they benefit somewhat from it.
"I like the sermon I have to say. It sometimes gives me hope when there is none," said Shields.
"Me too," agreed King. "But if I thought for one second that any of the priests I listen to at Mass were in any way responsible -- either by covering up or being an -- what would you say -- attacker, abuser I suppose -- then I wouldn't be coming back here again," said Shields.
Donal Tierney, a retired sanitation worker originally from Co. Limerick, goes to Mass as often as he can, but it's bitter sweet for him.
Tierney told the Irish Voice he shed many a tear for the victims of sexual abuse at the hands of the clergy over the years.
"When the news first broke about the awful goings on I was shocked," admitted Tierney.
"Then I was angry, and as the years went on and the news kept coming that young children were harassed, beaten and raped by these men of God I was hurt too, and that's being honest."
Tierney, who knows people abused by priests but said he would not discuss it, continued to go to Mass, but he has given up one thing.
"I've stopped going to Confession. I used to be a man who would go at least once a month because that's what was drilled into us, but I stopped a few years ago because of all this," he said.
"I don't want to have a relationship with any priest, even if he is a good man, which I'm sure our parish priests here at St. Barnabas are. They are lovely men and do a great job, but I'd rather just go to Mass, listen to the word of God and then do my own thing."

'My Bionic Pet' Looks at Prosthetic Limbs for Animals
Relationships between humans and their pets have changed drastically over time. Today people routinely spend thousands of dollars on medical procedures for sick and injured animals that more likely would have been euthanized or "put to sleep" years ago.
"My Bionic Pet," a coming show in the PBS Nature series, looks at the growing trend toward fitting physically disabled animals with prosthetic limbs that allow them to get around more independently.
Animals featured in the show have lost legs, fins, flippers, beaks, or tails because of disease, accidents, or human cruelty. Modern technology and engineering have helped scientists develop prosthetics that function well enough to let animals resume almost-normal lives.
The program premieres Wednesday, April 9 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS.
