Due in part to a cool, wet spring that resulted in some crops getting planted later than in earlier years, the corn and bean crops are maturing later that the five year average as the growing season winds down and with October a few days away.
The crop progress for the week ending Sept. 15, had five percent of Minnesota's corn crop as mature compared to a five year average of 28 percent mature on that date.
The national average for corn is 22 percent mature compared to a five year average of 41 percent mature.
The condition of the Minnesota corn crop is listed as five percent very poor; 10 percent poor; 34 percent fair; 46 percent good and five percent excellent.
As of Sept. 15, the percent of Minnesota's soybeans that had dropped their leaves was 21 percent compared to a five year average of 41 percent.
The condition of the soybean crop across Minnesota was listed as four percent very poor; 12 percent poor; 36 percent fair; 43 percent good and five percent excellent.
Weather will play a role in how well crops mature. Historically, the first freeze is around Oct. 7, in the St. James area. Right now the 10 day forecast is not calling for any freezing weather.
Temperatures look to be seasonal and there looks to be not a lot of precipitation in the forecast.

What are the risk factors for gynecomastia?
Normally-developing pubertal males may be at risk for gynecomastia that is part of the normal developmental process. Normal male infants also may have gynecomastia. Other risk factors include aging, since aging may promote decreases in testosterone production that can cause gynecomastia. The risk factors for developing gynecomastia related to specific diseases and conditions (such as cirrhosis of the liver) are the same risk factors that predispose to those conditions. Taking certain medications (see above) may increase the risk of developing gynecomastia.
What are the symptoms of gynecomastia?
The primary symptom of gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breasts. As mentioned before, gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular tissue rather than fatty tissue. It is typically symmetrical in location with regard to the nipple and may have a rubbery or firm feel. Gynecomastia usually occurs on both sides but can be unilateral in some cases. The enlargement may be greater on one side even if both sides are involved. Tenderness and sensitivity may be present, although there is typically no severe pain.
The most important distinction with gynecomastia is differentiation from male breast cancer, which accounts for about 1% of overall cases of breast cancer. Cancer is usually confined to one side, is not necessarily centered around the nipple, feels hard or firm, and can be associated with dimpling of the skin, retraction of the nipple, nipple discharge, and enlargement of the underarm (axillary) lymph nodes.

About the Book
A beautifully written family memoir, Bending Toward the Sun explores an emotional legacy—forged in the terror of the Holocaust—that has shaped three generations of lives. Leslie Gilbert-Lurie tells the story of her mother, Rita, who like Anne Frank spent years hiding from the Nazis, and whose long-hidden pain shaped both her daughter and granddaughter's lives. Bringing together the stories of three generations of women, Bending Toward the Sun reveals how deeply the Holocaust lives in the hearts and minds of survivors and their descendants.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"A memoir that takes us through many worlds, through heartache and noble hopes, through the mysteries of family love. . . . Read Bending Toward the Sun and enrich your life."—#8212;Rabbi David Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
A miraculous lesson in courage and recovery, Bending Toward the Sun tells the story of a unique family bond forged in the wake of brutal terror.
Rita Lurie was five years old when she was forced to flee her home in Poland to hide from the Nazis in a cramped, dark attic with fourteen members of her family. Young Rita watched her younger brother and her mother die before her eyes. But the tragedy of the Holocaust was only the beginning of Rita's story.
Decades later, Rita's daughter Leslie began probing the traumatic events of her mother's childhood to discover how Rita's pain has affected not only Leslie's life and outlook but that of her own daughter, Mikaela, as well. The result is Bending Toward the Sun, a collaboration between mother and daughter that brings together the stories of three generations of a family to understand the legacy that unites, inspires, and haunts them all.
Leslie Gilbert Lurie has served as president of the Los Angeles County Board of Education. Formerly an executive at NBC, where she worked on such hit shows as Cheers, Family Ties,Saved by the Bell, and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Gilbert-Lurie lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.

No Strings
Older women rule. There is no better sexual relationship on planet Earth than one between a young man and a (recently divorced) older woman because both people get everything they want: orgasms without the bullshit. (I just realized that "Orgasms without the Bullshit" would look great on a hooker's business card. Just thought I'd mention it.)
Older women already have money, so they won't use you for a free meal. They don't want any strings attached, because they're realistic about the fact that you're not gonna marry them and they never want you around when there's any drama in their lives because you're just a boy toy to them, not a problem solver or stand up guy.
The only problem is they like to show you off. So, if any of you guys are dating an older MILF or divorcee, I have one piece of advice: when they invite you to a public get together, do not go.
Just trust me on this.
If you do go, you will suffer the wrath of hundreds of jokes that your MILF's friends think you are too dumb to get (despite the fact that their combined education is usually limited to child rearing and the latest episode of "Desperate Housewives").
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a no-strings-attached relationship, go with the older woman. She's better in bed, years of child-rearing and living with a husband have made her the perfect hostess and, most importantly, because of the age difference, there's hardly ever anything to talk about (I once dated a 36 year old with a 16 year old daughter. Let's just say, I had more in common with the daughter. Anyway, the daughter is now 21. I ran into her at a pub a few months ago. Man, that was awkward—especially the part where she introduced me to one of her friends as "the guy who used to bang my Mom while I was doing homework"—but I digress).
Anyway, to reiterate, older women rule.
"the guy who used to bang my Mom while I was doing homework"
damn, that's hot. please tell me the daughter was turned on by that rep...
Conversely, I want to make an unsolicited comment for all the ladies out there (you know, the ones who read your blog because you're so fuckable...)
And by older, I do mean anyone that is more than 15 years your senior.
Here's why:
1. LIMP DICK. Yeah, you thought premature e was a problem?
2. LARGE EGO. You get limp dick, he gets strippers and free golf when the boys at the office find out he's banging the 19 year old secretary.
3. CRAZY WIVES/EXES. They might not want the limp dick, but they sure as hell want the fat wallet. Prepare for her to get new tits and start allowing him anal to win him back.
4. CODEPENDENCE. You do not understand how irritating it is to hear whining when you choose a pedicure over giving him a blowjob in the backseat of his F-150. For the third time that day.
I think the funniest part about the whole article was the picture of Eva in Tony Parker jersey. Don't ask me why.
It's funny that you say that Chad, because I couldn't even figure out why I used that picture. It just fit.
Lulu, always looking out for my female readers and helping guarantee that us twenty something guys get the young and older women.
Court, it actually grossed out the daughter to the degree where she was almost embarrassed fro her mother. And the friend that was with her was a guy. I don't think it turned him on either. But I didn't look into it.
Having been called a MILF(which had to be explained to me) myself ...I say younger is hands down ...better .... hell when isn't it better to have "Orgasms without the Bullshit"
Okay -- I am a 29-year-old woman. While I am not technically a MILF (no kids. who wants kids at my mental age?), I am beginning to understand that that whole "women don't reach their sexual peak till their thirties" thing isn't just a load of crap from the crusted gals at Cosmo.
I now understand what you late-teenaged boys are going through, and, if you're hot, I'd like to apologize.
I may not be the breakable-skinny kinda chick you Lindsay Lohan-era people are into, but I can pass for anything from 15 to 45 given makeup and clothing, and I know how to make college boys (and girls) happy. I have. And I will keep on keepin' on, just as long as I have my looks and my libido.
You may, as my generation says, soooo totally check my blog if you wanna know what 29 looks like these days... At least on the finer side of the fence....

Hi Lucie,
Congrats on the success of your conversation thread. I did the Hudy 14k this weekend as a training run for the Cincinnati half in October. What a blast. I wish that I didn't have to work later that afternoon or I would have sticked around for th Octoberfest Party. My Nike Ipod tiuch was a bit erratic (to say the least) so I ended up running at about my .5 maraathon goal pace of 9min/mile because the app kept saying that I was running anywhere between 9'30'/mile to 11'30'/mile----quite a difference!!!! But I still feel good a few days later so it was worth it. I have been recovering from a knee injury since th Flying Pig Half in May (getting old stinks--recover SOOO long) and finally have almost zero pain in my left leg by the knee after long runs.
I hope that this posts correctly-it's my first post here on Active.
Congratulations on the great runs everyone! Melody that is a very nice looking boy, do you have to beat the girls back with a stick yet?
My first half-marathon is now done. I was DANG cold before the start, but I saw people in tiny running shorts and worried that I would get too warm but I never really did. I pushed my sleeves up during one sunny section but when we turned the corner heading back into the wind the sleeves came back down and my gloves went back on. About halfway I saw a mailbox with the last name "Lamb" on it and thought of Melody, so thanks for being along on my run!
I was on the final straightaway, finish line in sight, when i was passed by a car that had a timing clock on it. First thought was "holy cow, that's the elapsed time??" i actually teared up a little thinking i was this close to the finish at such a good time! then it hit me WHY I was being passed by a car - it was the pace car for the marathon leader. He passed me just shy of the final chute. DANG!! However since he started at the front of his pack and i crossed the starting line 4 min later my overall time was less than his (small consolation, he did go twice the distance)
I expected I would finish somewhere between 2:45 and 3:00, but I actually came in at 2:33:50 so I blew that right out of the water and shocked the dickens out of myself in the process. 11:44 overall pace, first 5k was at 11:15 so apparently I came out a little fast... can't complain. My quads are a little stiff this morning but that's really the only residual.
This year's goal is now accomplished!
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
Snerb Really nice time on the 10K trail run and I know you must be so proud of your son! I'm hoping my son will continue reaching for more races, goals and PRs. I really enjoyed reading about your adventure into health and wanting to reflect when the big 40 rolls around. What a gift you've given your son, to be healthy and able to share running with him. **Pats on the back** to you!
rseil Welcome to this great group! It's very informal but we all get SO much support from each other. Your post came through just fine. Nice job on the knee recovery and the race.
OshCat Actually, (regarding my son) the girls do seem to think he is pretty cute. My son really doesn't get how handsome, talented and kind he is. His humility just makes him that much more adorable (of course, I'm not biased or anything)! SO good to hear about your great half marathon! Your experience gives me hope!! If I can hold on to a sub 12MM on my half, I'll be quite pleased! By the way, I read so much about IT Band issues and (thanks heavens) found that mine seems to be resolving with very concentrated stretching, icing and rolling. I was a little panicked yesterday that the pain hung around for quite a while after just a little 5K. But this morning, there is nary a twinge. So, fingers crossed!
Run strong!

Thanks, all for good wishes on recovery. Hammy is doing fine today. YAY!! Great PT!
Mel, I just looovvvved the pix of you and your son!! It's so neat to see his expression go from apprehension at the start to satisfaction and then confidence after the race. Hope he has a long run with running.
OC - 21 mi!!! and gas left in the tank! You are doing amAzing!
Deb, ten miles is a fantastic run and then you got it all done, too! I'm home napping after 10 mi.
Big Slade, so glad you're having fun!
NHLA, is it my imagination or are you still getting faster? 9 mi. in 67 min.! Meep meep?
Dan, it's getting cool here but much colder there. You've been running mighty strong. I'd be very surprised if you weren't ready for that full.
Snerb, Thank you for the Great story! Quite impressive commitment and persistence!! Inspiring! Losing 77 lbs. is huge! Good luck next weekend on that Wrut, Run, n Kill the hill run. If only I could run trails at your speed ...
Rseil, I'm in Cincy and ran Hudy 14k and Pig HM also. My time was a tad slower. Went to Oktoberfest after the race and the crowd was ridiculous starting around noon. No room to move. I guess for some that's the idea but not for me. Are you planning any more races this fall?
Awesome congratulations to you, OshCat on your first HM!!! Great time and pace!! Sometimes the day after a race has a let-down like the day after a holiday. Did the race compare with what you anticipated? Did you enjoy the actual run?
Well, legs are feeling very good, except for minor knee pain. WhooHoo!! Saturday is the dreaded White Tail Trail HM so yesterday I pushed myself out the door and into the woods, cliche intended, and only had enough energy for three miles. Might have done more but got lost and bumped my forehead hard running into a horizontal tree that was hiding behind my baseball cap brim. Bushwacking takes time and I was cold. I know now to dress warmer but don't know if that will be enough to get me to the finish. I have to be under 18:42 mm overall to finish in 4 hr. On easy trail, I can keep under 15 mm but what goes down must come up and there's no guarantee someone will be in front of me showing me the way to go.
Run strong and fierce, my friends!!

rseil - Welcome to the group! Kick your shoes off and join in the discussion. Don't worry about interrupting - we don't stand on formalities.
BigSlade - With that time in your 11.8 mile training run, you should be able to break 2:00 in a half. If you step up your pace just 8 sec/mile, youll do it.
OshCat - Getting a half on the books is a major accomplishment! Enjoy the glow.
3.18 miles, 30:56. A nice, slow run on pavement, just to move some today. Planned 12 miler tomorrow early am. The training plan calls for a tune up race this week, but I'm not going to pay 50 bucks for a 10k bib. I'll do a simulated race instead, and some striders also this week, and a 19 miler Sunday. If God wills it I will do these things
Run free!
Mary Kay - The race itself was great, the part that was a bummer for me was not having my cheerleader there. I had other friends who ran but the crowd was so large I was never able to find them before/afterwards, so I pretty much went it alone in a sea of people. I still have the 'glow' of personal satisfaction and pride in my accomplishment, but two days later is when I'm now getting sad that I didn't have someone to share it with and really celebrate.
BTW, Love your finisher medal and the Violations! $100 for hydration belt in a 5k LOL
Quads are still a little tight, so I'm still keeping things light for a couple days. I did some light cardio on the spin bike last night to try to loosen things up; tonight my grass is getting mowed, that's sort of a whole-body workout in my yard.
Coyote - $50 for a 10k bib?? That's steep. I have a similar opportunity coming up in 2 weeks but it's to run a 10k across the Mackinac Bridge in MI. I realize the logistics involved but since there's no charity beneficiary I won't be doing it.
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13

James neighbor killed over on the table. His heart stopped.
James did the Hienwick manuver on him and he came back to life.
James you saved my life what can I do for you?
Vote for Obama.
James is black and very clever and his neighbor was the head of national security under Reagan.
After two weeks he begged James to let him out of his promise and James let him off the hook for a $250 bottle of Scotch.
I ask him why did you let him off and he said Obama is going to win anyway.
I just ran a really strong, beautiful-beautiful fall morning 4 miles. I stretched out my IT band before AND during the run since there were some steep up and down hills. I discovered later that both my middles toe nails have turned black and my shoes are already worn down. Problems of adding more miles I guess. I heard about a place in NYC called Jack Rabbit (I think) that films your stride and foot placement to custom match your shoes. I may zip down to the city after my half marathon, visit my sis who lives there, and try out Jack Rabbits for new kicks.
Old Coyote I agree about the $50 entry, that IS steep. Especially since it's really a training run for you. Maybe you could run it without a number? I'm not sure if that is frowned upon or not. I better check Mary Kay's list of running offenses!
NHLA Fast AND funny!
OshCat I can understand how not having you cheering team there would be disappointing. Sometimes our significant others don't "get" how important these things are to us (although I think you mentioned yours was unable to attend) My last 10K, hubby dropped me off down the road from the start and then went out for breakfast, I didn't see him again until the very (I mean very) finish. lol It's all good though.

Had some life going on the past two days, but I jot 25 minutes on the bike while watching the Patriots-Ravens game Sunday night (ouch), and a 4-mile tempo run on the TM last night (31:40). Ran/walked the dog after work tonight, may still get a TM run in.
Snerb..... Your story is amazing. I read it all, then re-read it aloud to my wife and was amazed again. BIG congratulations, and a very happy birthday. And you can feel proud for your son (and you), too!!
Oshcat.... Awesome job on blowing the goal time out of the water!! Excellent work!! And I'm in the same boat as far as clothing this Sunday with my HM and the fall morning temps here in Maine -- could be in the 30s, but could warm up quickly and be in the 70s when I finish.
NHLA..... Last year I ran one mile in 6 minutes, but I was ready to dial 9-1-1 when I was done!!! Great running!!!
Melody.... Running with an offspring feels special, doesn't it? Congratulations!
Mkay.... Is there any part of your body that you haven't bumped, pulled, nicked, strained, torn, bruised this year??? You are one tough young lady!! Good luck with the Trail HM. Please report that you finished without getting hurt.
Coyote.... You have a pretty tough training program. I'd like to be able to do all you do. Keep it up!!!!!!
rseil... Lemonade Lucy isn't around anymore, but welcome to the group.
Snerb - great story. You should be so proud of yourself - and happy birthday in advance.
BigSlade - glad you're running strong again
OshCat - WooHoo! What a great time! Bask if your accomplishment - you've earned it.
OldCoyote - $50 for a 10K? Ii wouldn't do it either. If they want that much money, there better be a champagne brunch and massages afterwards.
MelodyLea - a strong run IS a thing of beauty. good luck with the toenails.
MaryKay - loved the running violations ticket!
Could not drag my sorry butt out of bed this morning,so I figured I'd go for my run after work. That was a mistake. It was warmer than I thought, my legs wanted nothing to do with it (both calves totally tight and never loosened up), even my breathing didn't get in sync. 3.5 miles done but it was not pretty. I might haved walked more than I ran, but it's all good - time on my feet, lessons learned, looking forward to Thursday when I will drag my butt out of bed to run in the dark like I should.
Something happened after my run today. My legs felt muscular. They feel fit as if I have been doing something miraculous.
Has anyone else had this feeling?
Snerb sorry I missed this post. Way to go. I lost 100lbs before I turned 50. Wish I had done it sooner.

Weewar is currently experiencing some issues with its Amazon servers. Please bear with us as we work to address the problems.
Update (July 12, 20:16 EST): We are back up and running though Weewar is a bit slow. The Amazon server on which Weewar was hosted seemed to have stalled, so we had to start a new instance and migrate everything over from a backup. Map images are being regenerated now. The forums are down temporarily. Games with less than 1 day turn limit should have had their clocks reset. Emails probably don't quite work yet. Avatars are lost temporarily.
Thanks to the folks at EA for working on this yesterday and today and getting Weewar back up and mostly running.
Update (July 13, 21:02 EST): Weewar is back up and running. Forums are up, board images have been regenerated, and Zapp is running again. Unfortunately, avatar images were lost. You can upload a new one on your profile page. Thanks for your patience.

Neosho native and current Pittsburg State University senior softball player Kreslee Ketcham has been selected for the second time this season as MIAA Hitter of the Week.
The 5'9 first baseman hit a robust .778 for the week and led the team with six runs scored and six RBIs. Ketcham's 1.556 slugging percentage for the week was helped by a pair of home runs, a double and no strikeouts in four games with three walks.
Ketcham did a great deal of her damage in a pair of 3 for 3 performances — once against Southwest Baptist and another versus Central Missouri — with three RBI in each game.
Other nominees were: Bianca Adams, Fort Hays State; Chloe Brown, Missouri Southern; Kylie Cantrell, Northwest Missouri; Kacie Edwards, Central Oklahoma; Keri Lorbert, Missouri Western; Katie Ruwe, Nebraska-Kearney.

SAN MATEO -- For most of the first two quarters Saturday, Valley Christian held the up-tempo Serra offense in check statistically but had nothing to show for it.
In fact, it was even worse than that for the Warriors.
Matthew Fa'aita threw two long fourth-down touchdown passes -- one near the end of the first quarter, the other near the end of the second -- and top-ranked Serra never allowed the momentum to swing in the second half en route to a 28-7 victory over the No. 7 Warriors.
The Padres (5-1, 3-0 West Catholic Athletic League) extended their winning streak to five games and dropped Valley Christian (3-3, 1-2) two games behind with four games remaining.
"Oh man, the fourth-down plays pretty much changed the game," Serra coach Patrick Walsh said. "With our offense this year, we don't panic when it's third-and-long any more or fourth-and-long. We have the opportunity to potentially pick up the first down."
After going three-and-out on its first two series, Serra got its no-huddle offense in rhythm on its third possession, reaching the Valley Christian 31.
But the drive stalled, leaving the Padres with a fourth-and-10.
Fa'aita dropped back and spotted Easop Winston open downfield. The two connected on a 31-yard pass play to make it 7-0.
The score looked as if it would remain that way through halftime.
But on fourth-and-9 from the Valley Christian 41 late in the second quarter, Fa'aita lofted a ball to the goal line on the left side. Austin Jackson used all of his 6-foot-4 frame to bring it down and cross the goal line with 11.6 seconds left.
The touchdown stretched the lead to 14-0.
"We've had some tough luck this year," Valley Christian coach Mike Machado said. "We played a very, very good football team, a very well-coached football team today. I thought our guys fought. We need to try and finish more on offense, but I thought defensively our guys kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win."
Serra put the game away in the third quarter when Kelepi Lataimua broke free on a sweep to the left side. He raced down the sideline, spinning off one defender at about the 20 before sprinting into the end zone. The 59-yard run gave the Padres a 21-0 lead.
"That was a good call by the coach and good blocking by the line," Lataimua said. "The other wing, Kevin McGee, he got that corner for me. He set it up for me. I don't even know what was going through my head. I was just trying to get it in the end zone."
Kava Cassidy made it 28-0 with a 1-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter.
Held to 20 yards in eight carries in the first half, Cassidy finished with 112 yards in 22 attempts.
"Valley Christian is real good team," Cassidy said. "Their defense is really solid. So we realized that and realized our duty and did what we had to do."
Valley Christian scored late in the game when Michael Machado threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Alexander, who caught the ball while managing to keep his feet inside the pylon.

About the Book
The Secret of the Great Pyramid is a thrilling intellectual adventure story about the most exciting discovery in Egyptology in decades. Bob Brier, along with French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin, tells the remarkable true story of Houdin's obsession with Egypt's Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World: how, in an ancient agrarian society not long removed from the Stone Age, such a remarkable structure could have been envisioned and constructed. At once the story of Houdin's determined search for answers to the puzzle that have eluded scientist and Egyptologists for centuries and a fascinating history of the planning and building of the magnificent edifice, The Secret of the Great Pyramid is an extraordinary work that puts the mystery to rest, once and for all.
A decade ago, French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin became obsessed by the centuriesold question: How was the Great Pyramid built? How, in a nation of farmers only recently emerged from the Stone Age, could such a massive, complex, and enduring structure have been envisioned and constructed?
Laboring at his computer ten hours a day for five years—creating exquisitely detailed 3-D models of the Pyramid's interior—Houdin finally had his answer. It was a startling revelation that cast a fresh light on the minds that conceived one of the wonders of the ancient world.
Written by world-renowned Egyptologist Bob Brier in collaboration with Houdin, The Secret of the Great Pyramid moves deftly between the ancient and the modern, chronicling two equally fascinating interrelated histories. It is a remarkable account of the step-by-step planning and assembling of the magnificent edifice—the brainchild of an innovative genius, the Egyptian architect Hemienu, who imagined, organized, and oversaw a monumental construction project that took more than two decades to complete and that employed the services of hundreds of architects, mathematicians, boatbuilders, stonemasons, and metallurgists. Here also is the riveting story of Jean-Pierre Houdin's single-minded search for solutions to the mysteries that have bedeviled Egyptologists for centuries, such as the purpose of the enigmatic Grand Gallery and the Pyramid's crack.

This Contribution is one I'm thrilled to showcase here on my blog. 3rdFloorSound's The Theory is a terrific set of Music Theory learning tools in a huge refill. So this is not a refill with sound patches or samples. Rather, this is a refill which gives you a whole music theory master class in a download, and then some. Here, I'll pick it apart and show you what you can do with the files, how to use them, and sing nothing but praises for it, because like many people who use Reason, I can definitely use all the help I can get when it comes to music theory.

The Center for the Study of Scottish Philosophy
The purpose of the CSSP is to promote and encourage the highest levels of research and study of Scottish philosophy. Its specific aims include:
* Extending interest in Scottish philosophy beyond the traditional period of the Scottish Enlightenment among philosophers, theologians and historians of ideas.
* Exploring the impact of the Scottish philosophical tradition on the development of liberal arts colleges and theological education in North America.
* Recovering the resources of the tradition for engagement with contemporary philosophical and theological thought.
History of the Center for the Study of Scottish Philosophy
In 1997 the University of Aberdeen in Scotland established 'The Reid Project' with the purpose of encouraging the study of the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Thomas Reid (1710-96) who taught philosophy at King's College Aberdeen in the 18th century. In 2003 The Reid Project was expanded into an established Center for the Study of Scottish Philosophy (CSSP). Under its auspices, the Journal of Scottish Philosophy was founded, a book series launched, and a number of meetings and conferences organized.
The tradition of Scottish Philosophy was first identified as such in a seminal book of that name published in 1874 by James McCosh, President of the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. In Spring 2006, the CSSP relocated to Princeton Theological Seminary. In its new location the CSSP has expanded its activities. The Journal of Scottish Philosophy, now published on behalf of Princeton Theological Seminary by Edinburgh University Press, devotes one issue a year to a special theme with a guest editor. Both current and back issues have been online since January 2008. Six further volumes have been added to the Library of Scottish Philosophy with a further two in preparation. The series of symposia that began in 1998, continues together with a program of smaller workshops and conferences. Building on the legacy of McCosh and the unrivalled resources offered by the combination of Seminary and University Libraries, a major project is a new two volume history of Scottish philosophy.
The CSSP is under the direction of Gordon Graham, Henry Luce III Professor of Philosophy and the Arts at Princeton Seminary. He is founding editor of the Journal of Scottish Philosophy and general Editor of the Oxford History of Scottish Philosophy. Details of his activities and publications in Scottish philosophy can be found here.
The CSSP issues regular electronic newsletters with information of events, activities and publications. To be included on the CSSP email list email [email protected].

I was en route to the JUB meet in San Antonio, still three days in the future.

This continues my blog from a couple weeks ago. Monday and Tuesday (March 20, 21) were largely business days; I spent about fourteen hours those two days going through records. Monday afternoon I went over to the house of one of my customers, met his wife, and we just talked about stuff. Later Monday evening I briefly met another of my music customers. I stayed at Tom's house again as well, and hugged Tom goodbye Tuesday morning as I knew I'd likely not see him again this trip.
I have now been on the road for more than nine days. I sit in Toronto, 750 miles from home, as I write this. Aside from some pitfalls, this trip has been a great one for the social creature that I am, and the first trip I've made where I am meeting more people who I've met on the Internet.
The trip started out by me being stood-up. I left Friday night/10th, staying in S.W. suburban Chicago, planning to meet somebody who I've been talking to online since December. We have yet

No idea how often I'll blog, but I'm up really late just trying to figure out the breadth and depth of this mega-cool site. The eye-candy drew me in at first, but there's so very much more in here. I'm supposed to get up early enough to cook up a bunch of chili, AND get over to a friend's house (married straight couple with a daughter), a mere 8 & 1/2 hours from now. I should be in Chicago for New Year's, there's a big party there every year and I'll be visiting other friends as well.

WRPIS Welcomes a Visiting Scientist from Mexico
MSc. Xochilt Militza Ochoa-Espinoza is a visiting scholar at the WRPIS. Xochilt's home institute is the National Research institute for Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock (INIFAP) of Mexico. Xochilt has been with the Norman Borlaug Experimental Station in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico since 2007, and has worked on the management and evaluation of different crops such as soybean, peanut, sesame, lentil, linseed and sunflower. She has also conducted biofuel research using sugar beet, sweet sorghum, castor bean and jatropha nut.
The majority of Xochilt's time has been spent on breeding safflower. Approximately 300 accessions of safflower have been crossed in various combinations to produce safflower varieties resistant to diseases and with very high yield and oil quantity. Xochilt's focus at the WRPIS is on analyzing carbohydrates in safflower as they relate to cold tolerance.
Xochilt's latest publications are:
WRPIS Phaseolus Germplasm Technician Julie Thayer (WSU) received a ten-year service award issued from Washington State University. Her official supervisor, Pullman Farmer Manager Wayne Olson (WSU), and her technical supervisor, Phaseolus Germplasm Curator Molly Welsh (ARS) presented the award to her on December 3, 2010. Dr. Welsh stated that "Julie makes it possible to accomplish everything that they do."
Dr. Welsh has since retired, so Ms. Thayer has assumed management of the Phaseolus collection.
Unsung Heroes Award
Vicki Bradley
On May 5, 2010, Vicki Bradley received the Unsung Heroes Award from the Organization of Professional Employees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (OPEDA). The award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated a high level of service to the public directly related to the employee's duties.
According to the leadership of OPEDA, the purpose of the designation is to identify those employees who have been unusually dedicated and efficient and had a positive attitude. Nominations are based on actual hands-on activities, and highlight the importance of public service among USDA employees.

> Ed Herford, Oct. 23, "This country was founded on the principal its people are sovereign...[therefore] as Christians and Americans [we should] prayerfully vote for whomever we think is best equipped to lead...Jesus is not running, so we must trust God can use [us] to accomplish His plan."
> Jimmy Johnson, Oct. 24, "I love it when many Christians think they are the only religion in America...Let's keep religion out of our politics."
> Richard Gorman, Oct. 25, "Mr. Gurko why suggest that in a representative republic a person not vote."
What is the issue? Not the right to vote but the right way to vote. None of the above opinions say citizens should neglect to vote but three disagree with Mr. Gurko's right to abstain from voting on the basis of his religious conscience.
True Christianity is not a religion about God but a relationship with God. There is no way to separate a true Christian's relationship with God from politics. Therefore, if those being presented for office violate a Christian's conscience he/she are bound to act in a manner best representing their relationship with God. If led to abstain they should do so not by neglect but duty.
Case in point: I currently in good conscience cannot vote for Romney or Obama. If between now and election day this conviction does not change, I will go to the polls and before I vote or abstain I will prayerfully wait for the final "word" on what to do. (Contrary to Ed Herford's opinion I may even decide Jesus is running and include him as a write-in.) But I will go to the polls and I will exercise my right to vote or abstain thereby discharging my duty as an American to participate in the electoral process.

STOCKTON - Newly elected Councilman Michael Tubbs will begin holding monthly office hours for residents to say hello, give him some input or just gripe.
"We have to make government transparent and accessible so that ordinary citizens feel like they influence the policy-making process," Tubbs said.
The office hours will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Dorothy L. Jones Family Resource Center, 2044 Fair St. in Stockton. He began this week.
Tubbs represents City Council District 6, the southernmost of Stockton's six voting districts. The 22-year-old Stanford graduate beat former Councilman Dale Fritchen in the Nov. 6 general election.
District 6 extends north to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, west to the San Joaquin River and east to D Street and south to French Camp and Arch Road, including incorporated areas surrounding the Stockton Metropolitan Airport.
Individuals or groups are welcome to attend Tubbs' office hours.

What are your best time in your races?
The Iron Clydesdale
Please Read my eBlog
Click Here[/URL" target="_blank">
Here is my Profile Click Here[/URL" target="_blank">
Check out my Running Log Click Here[/URL" target="_blank">
All I have are just times in races. I haven't done more than one race of each length yet.
2 miler: 33 minutes.
5K: 34 minutes
4 miler: 49 minutes
I'll be racing much more consistently in the next several months.
Laura, queen of all I survey
My one and only marathon (this past October): 4 hours and 16 glorious minutes! Best time of my life -- I had so much fun, I know it's going to be difficult to top the experience.
My Best Athena "filly" times for races are 5k 23:55 and 5 mile 42:44.
My best time? I'd say that would be my very first Triathlon.
certainly not the speediest, but MAN did it feel good.
Second best was my first 70.3 Ironman Tri. And I REALLY didn't "feel" good but I sure felt GOOD - if that makes any sense. Being out there over 7.5hrs is rough.
Timewise... check my sig. I'm MOP in Sprint Tri's and BOP for most everything else, but moving my way up. As my run speed increases, I'll move to MOP or FOP (of Clydes division of sprint Tris... hopefully this summer)
2004 Twin Cities Marathon - Weight 232 - Time 2:56:10
2006 Houston Marathon - Weight 204 - Time 2:47:14
2006 Green Bay 1/2 Marathon - Weight 208 - Time 1:22:21
2005 Fox Cities 5K - Weight 206 - Time 17:51
2005 Frozen 10 Miler - Weight 205 - Time 1:01:57
2006 Glacial 50 Miler - Weight 200 - Time 7:50:00
Current Weight 215 - WI winter survival blubber
gripperm - Keep the faith Brother Clydesdale
I started in July 2003 @ 6-2 and a lunch buffet over 300# (Age 34)
Running turned my life around - I still struggle with weight, but now heavy is 220 instead of 290-300+
When ever I hit a bad stretch and start gaining weight - sooner or later running rescues me before it gets to out of hand
The two I'm most proud of are:
Mt Pleasant Rat Race 5k:
26:04 (8:24 m/m) 250 lbs
Bayshore Half Marathon:
2:07:56 (9:46 m/m) 248 lbs
For a guy that averages between 10 and 11 m/m pace on my normal runs, I'm very proud of my PRs.
Wow WI MPT: your story is close to mine:
2005 6'2" 291lbs
2006 6'2" 248lbs
2007 hope to get down even more!
I love your times and am inspired once again by the A/C room.
mdmccat - I am blessed with a Big body that has held together training many miles for the last 3 years. I am less impressed by times and more impressed by someone who is working hard and focussed on a goal.
I wish I had not put my times down as I did not want to be a thread killer.
The more people here communicate and connect, the stronger and better this forum will be.
10 K - 53 min plus change.
1/2 Marathon - 1:57 plus change.
I haven't had much time to work on lowering my PR's as I have a young family and its all I can do to get out for short maintenance runs right now. I hope to continue to lower my 1/2 Marathon PR and run a marathon in the next few years. I'd love to run a 45 min 10 k.
Whew...those are some fast times WI MTP. Impressive.
5K - 23:14 weight 202
5 miles - 38:50 weight 202
10K - 48:50 weight 200
15K - 1:13:11 weight 200
Half Marathon - 1:50:20 weight 202
Marathon - 4:19 weight 195 (was on 4 hour pace until mile 18-19...then came the cramps...last 6 took about 1:15)
I've been running about 3 years. Started in decent shape...around 210...but running has kept me around 200. My body seems to like that weight. My best times have come in the last 18 months.

5K - 21:xx
10K - 43:xx
1/2 marathon: 1:40 (2006 San Antonio)
marathon: 3:45 (2006 White Rock)
All times run at weights ranging from 210 - 225 (I'm 5'11 male)
WI MTP Is my hero. I need to run more miles to catch that boy. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
My fastest times above 200lbs:

12k - 53:xx

Profile[/URL" target="_blank">
cgerber - Your like me - Your mile and 5k not vastly different in pace. I have never tried just running a mile, except as part of training like 3x a mile.
my all time fastest 5K is 21:32 (training run with XC team)... fastest half 2:06:21. can't remember the rest. Nothing special or that spectactular.
Purposefully put those times out of my head because I'm as slow as the ages now. It helps so much to run with fast people when you're like me and just stay in your comfort zone.
PR's since October 2006 (races only, have done a couple of faster training, like a 5K at the track in 26:48, but race day is what really counts, right?)
5 miles:
10 miles: 1:47:15
Half Marathon: 2:18:40
Marathon: 5:10:53
Oh, and since this IS a weight-based forum, I'm 5'3.5 and 161 lb. 29.6% body fat (tanita scale).
Was probably 4-6 lb lighter on my all time PRs. Not too much

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team heads to the road looking to snap a three-game losing streak when it heads to Houston for a Saturday night matchup against the Cougars. The game will be televised online through ESPN3 (visit ESPN3.com to check availability).
• Senior Zane Knowles had a career-high 16 points and added 13 rebounds against Central Michigan for his third double-double of the year.
• The Islanders were without point guard and leading scorer John Jordan for the CMU game due to an injury.
• Junior Hameed Ali is averaging 10.8 points per game after a recent surge. He scored a career-high 21 at UTSA on Saturday, going 8-for-12 from the field and 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
• Jelani Currie also had a huge game, mostly in the second half, at UTSA. He netted a career-best 15 points in just 11 minutes of play, becoming the first Islander since Scooby Johnson (3/11/07 vs. Northwestern State) to go 5-for-5 from the field or better. He has hit four straight threes.
• The Islanders took part in a 10-day, four-game tour of Italy in August, a trip that allowed them 10 extra days of practice prior to the tour.
• Though Coach Wilson has his most experienced team with the Islanders, only five players have more than one year of Division I playing experience (Ali, Knowles, Jordan, Douvier, King).
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played a number of tight games with Houston, including a pair of overtime affairs. The Islanders' lone win in the series was an 81-78, overtime victory in 2010. Last year, the Cougars were triumphant at the American Bank Center when a Will Nelson shot at the buzzer rimmed out, giving U of H a 77-75 victory.
Blake Hibbitts' fifth three of the game, with 13.5 seconds left, lifted Central Michigan to a 68-64 win over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team on Tuesday night at the American Bank Center. Zane Knowles had a double-double with a career-high 16 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.
It was a tough offseason for Hameed Ali. The junior suffered an injury, had surgery and was unable to play basketball from April to October. That meant he was unable to play during the team's foreign tour in Italy, and the staff even considered redshirting him this season.
But the junior who started 29 games a season ago was not to be kept off the court. Ali had two decent performances the first two games of the season, as he got his feel for the game back, then exploded in the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Tournament.
In the IPFW game, he scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, but was overshadowed by the 28 points his backcourt mate John Jordan scored. Against Tennessee Tech, he scored 12 more points, including a three in the closing seconds to put the Islanders in reach. In the final game of the weekend, he went 6-of-10 from the field and 3-of-4 from downtown to post 17 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists. He is now averaging 10.8 points per game on the year.
He had an off game against Rice, going 2-for-9, but came right back with a career-high 21 points at UTSA. Ali went 8-for-12 from the field, knocking down all three triples he took. He added four assists and four steals as well. Against CMU, he led the offense with John Jordan absent, and dished out six assists.
Ali is the second most experienced Islanders player (behind Jordan) with 1,632 career minutes and 49 career starts.
The Islanders' most physically notable player is, without question, senior Zane Knowles. The native of Nassau, Bahamas, stands 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds and is expected to be a force inside for the Islanders this year. He has improved significantly in the weight room, and his soft touch should help him be a scoring force inside.
He showed up in a big way in the season opener, scoring 12 points and snaring 18 rebounds for his first career double-double. The 18 rebounds matched the second-highest total in school history, and were the most for an Islander since Corey Lamkin grabbed 18 at Air Force on Jan. 21, 2004. It more than doubled his previous career high, as his prior best was eight boards vs. Lamar on Feb. 7, 2013.
He posted his second double-double in the win over Texas-Pan American. The senior netted a career-high 13 points and coupled it with 12 rebounds to help the Islanders to a strong performance inside against the Broncs. He narrowly missed a double-double in the Tournament opener against IPFW, finishing with nine points and nine boards. Last time out, he went 7-for-8 from the field en route to a career-high 16 points, adding 13 rebounds for his third double-double this season.
Knowles came to the Islanders after a year at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College and a season at Grambling.
John Jordan is only a junior for the Islanders basketball team, but he's the most experienced player on the roster and one of the favorites for Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Houston native was named Preseason First Team All-Southland Conference by the league's coaches. He missed the last game with an injury.
He showed his worthiness for that selection in the opening game of the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Islanders Basketball Tournament. Jordan went off for a career-high 28 points, going 10-for-16 from the field. His final basket gave the Islanders a one-point lead with 4.2 seconds remaining en route to a 72-71 win. He added 18 points and nine boards against Tennessee Tech, then wrapped the weekend with just seven points, but dished out seven assists and snared six rebounds.
The honor is no surprise when looking at the numbers that the 5-foot-10 Jordan put up last season. Jordan was second in the league in assists (5.5 per game) and 12th in the league with 12.8 points per game. His 5.5 assists per game were 39th in Division I.
Jordan broke the school record with 138 assists as a freshman, then bested his own mark with 159 as a sophomore. With 327 career assists, he over halfway to the school record of 493, held by Brian Evans.
Freshman Jeff Beverly joined the Islanders as a highly-touted prospect out of the Houston area known for his scoring ability. Though he had a slow start to his career with a pedestrian seven points and four rebounds against Huston-Tillotson, he made his presence known in the game against Iowa State.
Beverly went 5-for-11 from the field with eight rebounds – four offensive - one block, one steal and one assist, all with just one turnover in a career-high 31 minutes. But what was more of a shock to the Cyclones was likely Beverly's range. The 6-foot-6, 245 pounder stepped back and drilled 3-of-5 shots from beyond the arc.
He showed more of the same for his home fans at the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Tournament. He set a new career high before halftime against Tennessee Tech, going 5-for-6 with 15 points in the opening stanza, finishing with 18. He has hit double figures in five games this year.
Beverly averaged 22.3 points and 11 boards at Clear Springs High School, and was named first team all-state.
Amid the down games for several Islanders at UTSA was a standout performance for a player who had been struggling to get going. Sophomore Jelani Currie came off the bench on Saturday and went off, scoring a career-high 15 points in just 11 minutes of action.
The Albany, N.Y., native went 5-for-5 from the field and 2-for-2 from beyond the arc in the contest. He became the first player since Scooby Johnson (2007 vs. Northwestern State) to have a perfect night from the field with at least five attempts. He also was the Islanders' leading rebounder with six boards in the contest. He added eight points and two assists against CMU last contest.
Currie had a quiet start last season, but on Feb. 23, he burst out of the gate, going 6-for-8 from the field for a career-high 13 points against Cal State Fullerton. Twenty-five of his 32 points on the year came in the final five contests.

New Energy Department Report Shows Strong Growth in the Fuel Cell Market in 2011
September 6, 2012
The Energy Department today released a new report showing significant growth for the fuel cell industry in 2011, and forecasting continued growth through 2012. The 2011 Fuel Cell Technologies Market Report finds that commercial markets for fuel cell technologies expanded significantly over the last year, especially in the materials handling industry. At the end of 2011, more than 3,000 fuel cell forklifts were either deployed or on order in the United States.
The growth of the fuel cell industry compliments the Department's commitment to U.S. leadership in innovative fuel cell technologies that give American businesses more options to cut energy costs and reduce petroleum use. The Energy Department's fuel cell research and development efforts have successfully generated more than 300 patents and enabled more than 30 technologies getting to market. At the same time, fuel cell durability has doubled, expensive platinum content has been reduced by a factor of five, and the cost of fuel cells has fallen 80% since 2002.
The report highlights continued growth in fuel cell commercial deployments, especially for material handling equipment like lift trucks, combined heat and power, and back-up and auxiliary power unit applications. The report also finds increased use of power purchase agreements in the stationary fuel cell market, enabling customers to purchase fuel cell power and heat without owning the fuel cell itself. With increasing availability, falling costs, and significant improvements in performance and durability, the report projects the fuel cells industry to continue growing through 2012 and beyond.
Developed by Breakthrough Technologies Institute for the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the report provides an overview of trends in the fuel cell industry and markets, including product shipments, market development, and corporate performance in 2011. The report tracks important developments across the hydrogen and fuel cell sector, providing a valuable tool for state and local officials as well as industry stakeholders.

Criminal Jury
Instructions Home
2.5-5 Complaining Witness
New, June 13, 2008 (modified November 6, 2014)
Evidence has been introduced that
the complaining witness,1
<insert name of complainant>, may be culpable in the alleged offense. You must consider the credibility of <insert name of complainant> in
light of any motive (he/she) might have for testifying falsely and incriminating
the accused, <insert name of defendant>.
In evaluating the testimony of this
witness, you should consider (his/her) appearance and demeanor as a witness, the
reasons given for (his/her) coming forward and telling (his/her) story to the
authorities, and whether any motive has appeared or any reason is apparent why
(he/she) would accuse the defendant.
You must consider and compare
(his/her) testimony with all the other testimony and evidence in the case. It
is up to you to determine whether to believe this witness. Like all other
questions of credibility, this is a question you must decide based on all the
evidence presented to you.
1 "A complaining witness or
prosecuting witness is the person who was chiefly injured, in person or property,
by the act constituting the alleged crime . . . and who instigates [causes the
instigation of] the prosecution." State v. Sinchak, 47 Conn. App. 134,
144 n.5 (1997), quoting Black's Law Dictionary (6th Ed. 1990).
Generally, the court should not instruct the jury on the credibility of a
particular witness, but the Supreme Court has recognized three exceptions: the
complaining witness, an accomplice, and an informant. See State v. Patterson,
276 Conn. 452, 470 (2005); State v. Ortiz, 252 Conn. 533, 561-62 (2000).
The complaining witness exception
was first discussed in State v. Cooper, 182 Conn. 207 (1980), in which
the Court said "[s]ince the complaining witness could himself have been subject
to prosecution depending only upon the veracity of his account of this
particular criminal transaction, the court should have instructed the jury in
substantial compliance with the defendant's request to charge to determine the
credibility of that witness in the light of any motive for testifying falsely
and inculpating the accused. We emphasize, however, that in order for the
request to be applicable to the issues in the case, there must be evidence, as

Art is hard. You must practice. But some pictures are easier to draw than you think, once you have the steps. Take Snake from Metal Gear Solid. You can draw Snake. I think.
Recently on 2ch, Japan's largest bulletin board, a Metal Gear fan provided a nifty how-to for drawing Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3. The how-to is step-by-step, expect for the part where the fan skips a bunch of steps:
This part!
As the fan was going through step-by-step, people kept saying the art was too good and that there was no way they could match it. "Anyone can do this?" wrote one commenter. "You mean, anyone cannot, lol." Their results indicated as much.
The Metal Gear fan then painted Snake in watercolors and showed off New Year's cards (top photo) that had been painted with Snake.
How-to drawings have changed—and gotten really effing good.
