Definition of rhynchosaur in English:
A tusked herbivorous reptile of the Triassic period.
- Order Rhynchosauria, subclass Diapsida.
Example sentences
- Although rhynchosaurs are not usually abundant in these strata, their presence refutes Romer's assertion that rhynchosaurs indicate a Middle Triassic age.
- The upper and the lower jaws were certainly covered with horny beaks in life, like the beak in turtles and, it can be assumed, in the Triassic rhynchosaurs.
- The wide diversity of large aetosaurs suggests that they have taken over the role of big herbivore vacated by the trilophosaurs, rhynchosaurs, and dicynodonts with their disappearance from the region at the end of the Carnian.
Mid 19th century: from modern Latin Rhynchosaurus (genus name), from Greek rhunkos 'snout' + sauros 'lizard'.

|Wayne, NJ
|Found By
|Hike Distance
Down Under Letterbox Series (5)
High Mountain Preserve Park
Placed by Wingfoot on 10/20/01
Updated 07/23/2005
Wayne, Passaic County, New Jersey
I would like to thank all the letterboxers who spent time maintaining this series. A box, bags, and notebooks were all replaced. Also someone even remounted the Down Under stamp. Thanks again.
This hike can be combined with the PANCAKE HOLLOW SERIES.
Clues: Easy
Terrain: Moderate with one long climb
Time: 2 to 3 hours
How this series came to be.
I received a free stamp with an order of inkpads. The stamp was of a Koala Bear. From that stamp came this series. There is one home made and four manufactured stamps all with an Australian theme.
NOTES Please be discreet, as some areas of this park are heavily traveled.
Motorized vehicles tracks can be found in many areas of the park. Be vigilent while hiking here.
The trail has alot of loose rocky areas, proper footwear is required.
There are literally dozens of unmarked trails here and the blazed trails have many abrupt turns.
A map of the preserve can be printed at:
The start point of this series is in Franklin Lakes New Jersey. From Route 208 take High Mountain Road to Reservoir Drive. On Reservoir Drive about a mile down, just after the circle in the middle of road on the left is a gated dirt road where this series starts.
Down Under
Start up the fire road. When the fireroad splits go left. The white blazes start just up the trail. Start on white blaze trail. Eventually you'll see a small tree on the left of the trail with a blaze on it. You'll notice two big split trees behind the small tree, the farthest tree has four trunks, two of which have fallen. From small tree go 3 paces at 90 degrees to big split tree. From that tree go 5 paces 140 degrees to the other big tree. Under the trunk of the tree which had fallen across the white trail and has been cut, in a pile of rocks is what you seek.
Please hide box hidden from view after stamping in.
Continue along white trail. You'll pass a tee box at the North Jersey Country club. Stay on trail. After a sharp left in trail you'll come to a sharp right in trail. Just beyond the right turn (straight up an unmarked trail) you'll notice an uprooted tree. The trees roots jet nine feet in the air. Another tree has fallen and landed on the trees roots. In the base of the stump of the tree that has fallen is what you're searching for. Use a stick, just in case.
Please hide box hidden from view after stamping in.
Go back and pick up white trail. Eventually you'll reach the red trail. Take right on red trail. Take yellow trail on left of red trail. Eventually you'll come to a tree on right of trail. Carved into tree below the blaze is "Art is beautiful 4ever". The planter of this box did not make the carving. From that tree go 10 paces at 240 degrees to another tree. Behind tree, under a pile of rocks is what you're searching for.
Please hide box hidden from view after stamping in.
Continue along yellow trail beginning your climb of High Mountain. Stop and enjoy view along right side of trail. While crossing summit you'll see a big rock on left of trail. Standing on the rock gives a great view of the manhatten skyline on a clear day. Unfortunately there is a lot broken glass around the rock so please be careful. Begin your descent staying on yellow trail. At one point you'll go down a steep section, and then veer slightly left. You'll notice two trees that both have a red X in a red box on them along right side of trial a few feet off the trail. From tree on left go 24 paces at 230 degrees to tree. In the trees crevice at the bottom is what you're searching for. If you come to a piece of a jeep on the right side of the trail, you've gone too far. Turn around it's just a little bit back on the trail. Use a stick just in case.
Please hide box hidden from view after stamping in.
Continue along yellow trail. Cross red trail and stay on yellow trail. Eventually you'll come to a tree on left of the trail with two metal objects hammered into tree about 5 feet up the tree. Continue along trail for 12 paces. Then go 6 paces at 300 degrees to a small tree with many little trunks. Inside trees cavity under a rock is what you're searching for. You may want to use a stick. Hide box in tree hidden from view when you are finished stamping in.
Continue on yellow trail to exit park near white trail entrance.

Twins Data Reshaping Nature Versus Nurture Debate
Scientists have long pointed to identical twins to show that genes reign supreme in the battle of nature versus nurture. But a growing body of research suggests another factor, called epigenetics, may change how those genes are expressed. National Geographic's Peter Miller explains what science is learning from twins.

NEW BEDFORD — A major new exhibit titled "Arctic Visions: Away then Floats the Ice-Island" opens with an evening of free activities for the entire family, including ice sculpting, performance art, Magic Lantern show, and a gala reception on Friday, April 26 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, 18 Johnny Cake Hill, New Bedford.
Using the rich Arctic and ethnographic collections of the museum and through partnerships with other institutions and individuals, Arctic Visions explores the intersections between art, science and exploration through the work of Fairhaven artist William Bradford (1823-1892). Highlights of the exhibit include an unparalleled collection of his Arctic paintings and photographs taken during his 1869 expedition to Greenland, which he later incorporated into a massive leather-bound elephant folio, entitled "The Arctic Regions — Illustrated with Photographs Taken on an Art Expedition."
The exhibit's title, "Away then Floats the Ice-Island" is drawn from the text of this core artifact in the exhibit, which was published in London in 1873 and principally sponsored by Queen Victoria. The extremely rare volume is being republished by David R. Godine, Inc. in association with the New Bedford Whaling Museum and released in conjunction with the exhibit opening in the Wattles Family Gallery. A book signing will take place in the Jacobs Family Gallery.
Several activities throughout the museum are scheduled as part of the opening, including ice sculpting throughout the day on the museum plaza by Thomas Brown; performance art by Drew Denny and Friends on the Lagoda at 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.; Arctic Visions Opening Ceremonies in the Jacobs Family Gallery at 6:30 p.m.; American Magic Lantern Theater show in the Cook Memorial Theater at 7:15 p.m.; and Artists-in-Residence, Zaria Forman and Lisa Lebofsky at work in the Jacobs Family Gallery.
Admission to the museum is free from 5 to 8 p.m., R.S.V.P. by calling (508) 997-0046 ext. 100.

Couldn't agree more. We loved it.
My sister and I visited Tetouan in May 2012. We are mature women (54 and 56 y.o.) and were traveling with my sister's teenage daughter. I'm writing to recommend our outstanding guide, Mr. Mhamed El Khattabi, an official certified guide who speaks excellent English. We told him we were interested in culture, history and people -- no shopping -- and he respected that perfectly. As we passed through the busy market areas, he was very protective of my niece in a kindly fatherly way. He also recommended the excellent Riad Daria, which was delightfully charming and a good value for money. We were extremely happy with the services of Mhamed and want to recommend him most warmly as a kind, knowledgeable, and very honest individual.
Here is Mhamed's cell No.: 0672549398.
that's excellent information to have here. Have you written that information into a Tetouan tip for others to see when they look through the tips available! Glad you thus had such a good visit. There are many good Moroccans who have genuine passion about their country and their visitors are guests - which is a big part of Moroccan culture that many tourists manage to miss.
Good, helpful tips here!
My one visit to Tetouan was in February and yes, it certainly was cold at night! Also not terribly warm during the day, but their peppermint tea was great for warming up.
Fifty years ago today I took a bus from Tangiers to Tetouan. In the medina a man asked me if I spoke German. I said no and walked on, but he assured me he wasn?t trying to sell anything, he just wanted someone to read him a letter he had got from Germany. So he invited me for a glass of peppermint tea at a caf� and I read him the letter. He could speak and understand German quite well but couldn?t read it.
hi yes nice to hear this sweet story again - amazing the knack though that Moroccans have for languages, esp if its part of their survival - i know Moroccans who have grown up in the sahara and not been to school past 15 but speak English, French, Arabic, Berber and Spanish or Italian and very fast computer speak! not so many also master German but one I knew who had left school very young age and could only read arabic but to all these language he could also speak High German
A visit to the herbalist sounds interesting.
Very interesting!
hI, we are off to Tetouan in Dec and wonder what to expect? Only there for 2 days, but curious to see what we can. Thanks for your tips. Graham.

MBA 'Energy Detectives' Help Companies Cut Costs
Sustainability has become the new buzzword at business schools in the past few years, with dozens of MBA programs offering classes, clubs, and projects on the topic.The number of schools that require students to take a course dedicated to business and society issues has doubled since 2001, jumping to 69 percent in 2009, according to the Aspen Institute's 2009 Beyond Grey Pinstripes Survey, a biennial ranking of the best green MBA programs. Beyond the classroom, student interest continues to grow. There are 170 student-run chapters of the sustainability-oriented nonprofit Net Impact at graduate MBA programs around the world, and students are doing everything from completing new responsible management certificates to taking electives on such topics as Sustainable Supply Chain Management, according to a 2010 Net Impact report.
One organization that has responded to the groundswell of interest among students is the Environmental Defense Fund, a Washington (D.C.) nonprofit that runs the Climate Corps summer internship program in conjunction with Net Impact. Every summer, the EDF selects a group of MBA interns to uncover potential energy efficiency improvements at companies, asking the students to become energy detectives, examining their summer employer's lighting, computer equipment, and heating and cooling systems.
The MBA students—known as Climate Corps fellows—then develop in-depth energy-efficiency investment and implementation plans for their host companies, which this year included McDonald's (MCD), Target (TGT), and Xerox (XRX). This past summer was a record year for the Climate Corps program, with 51 interns identifying $350 million in potential net operational savings at the 47 companies they worked for, up from $54 million last year. If the companies implement the 2010 Climate Corps fellows' recommendations, the measures would save more than 400,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, according to the EDF.
Bloomberg Businessweek's Alison Damast recently spoke with EDF Managing Director Victoria Mills, who oversees the Climate Corps program, about how the program has grown since it was launched in 2008. Here is an edited transcript of their conversation.
This is one of the more unusual internship programs for MBA students today. What was the original concept behind the program?
We find that companies know there are opportunities to save money through energy efficiency, but it is finding the time, having the resources, and making the business case that often gets in the way. The Climate Corps fellows are specially trained and have a laser-like focus on energy efficiency, because that is all they do for the summer. By making a compelling business case for energy efficiency at companies, they can help overcome organizational barriers, cuts costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Do you think this program is filling a void in the MBA internship world?
The interest among MBA students is tremendous, but what has been lacking is the opportunity for them to get real-world experience building the business case for sustainability. We're the only internship program I'm aware of where, in just 10 weeks, an MBA student can get on-the-ground experience working across the company and deliver them a customized energy efficiency investment plan for the company. This is not lofty, in-the-clouds sustainability. This is bottom-line sustainability, and this kind of experience translates directly into real résumé-enhancing skills.
How has Climate Corps grown since you started it three years ago?
We started this program in 2008 with seven fellows in the Bay area, and those MBAs found $35 million in cost savings at these companies, by factoring in both the initial investment and the cost savings projected from future cash flows. We realized we were onto something, and the results just kept on getting better. In 2009 we had 26 fellows, and this year we are up to 51 MBAs. In just the first three years of the program, students have identified $439 million in net operating savings.
This program has emerged as interest in sustainability has skyrocketed at business schools across the country. Are you seeing more students applying?
We had 250 applications for 50 spots this past summer. We are seeing an explosion of interest, not only from the dual-degree sustainability programs that have been around for a while, but also from more and more stand-alone MBA programs that are integrating sustainability into their curricula. We go every year to the Net Impact Conference, a group that is our partner in recruiting fellows, and we are just mobbed by students.
What are some examples of some of the energy savings the 2010 Climate Corps fellows identified at companies this past summer?
One MBA who worked at Verizon (VZ) this summer, Ryan Mallett, found that if the company invested in a thermal ice storage system [to reduce cooling costs at the company's Manhattan headquarters], the company could save $9.16 million over the lifetime of the project. At eBay (EBAY), MBA intern Megan Rast identified ways for the company to save $1.5 million by installing new project management software and lighting retrofits and replacing older computers. Another student, Jen Snook, worked at AT&T (T) evaluating the lighting used in about half the company's real estate portfolio. By putting in occupancy sensors, she determined the company could realize an 80 percent reduction in energy costs.
Are any of the companies that worked with the Climate Corps fellows implementing any of their energy-efficiency recommendations after the internship is completed?
Yes. Projects accounting for 84 percent of the energy savings identified by 2008 and 2009 fellows are either complete or under way at the companies the students worked at. We are particularly proud of that figure. It would be a different story if the fellows were making recommendations and going back to business school and the companies were not doing anything with them, but the opposite is true.
What type of jobs are the Climate Corps fellows going into after they graduate from business school?
What we are finding is they are going on to take jobs at institutions or businesses where energy and the environment are key to the business. Ryan Whisnant, one of our 2009 Climate Corps fellows, went on to get hired by the same company he worked for, SunGard, as director of sustainability. Patrica Kenlon, also a 2009 fellow, worked at TXU Energy in Texas during her internship, and she is now director of energy and sustainability at Ann Taylor (ANN). We have about half a dozen examples of fellows who have parlayed their Climate Corps experience directly into jobs in fields they are passionate about.
How big do you envision the Climate Corps program becoming?
We're trying to figure that out now. This is a program that is scalable, and there is plenty of interest from MBA students. Interest is also increasing among companies, and more and more they are seeing the value proposition of Climate Corps and how it can accelerate their goals around greenhouse gas reductions. So I think we could potentially be seeing programs of several hundred fellows a year over the next five years or so.

Dita Von Teese making her television debut with CSI
"It"s great because it"s a big episode, and I play my very good friend Eric Szmanda"s love interest," Fox News quoted Von Teese as telling BlackBook magazine. "Originally, I was just going to make a small cameo of some kind, but now I play three different characters! It"s a great challenge for me, much different than creating and performing burlesque shows."
Her 'CSI" co-stars were already familiar with Von Teese's work. "Most of the cast and crew have seen my burlesque show, and they"re really a great team, and are all very encouraging. I couldn"t ask for a better television debut, especially on such a great show, and there"s a moment where viewers get to see a glimpse of my actual burlesque show," she said.

Re: Without this, No Aikido
David Valadez
What is mandatory for Aikido? What is it that we simply cannot do without? What thing or aspect, if it is absent, forces us to be unable to say, "We do Aikido?"
A good question. For myself, I still haven't figured out what Aikido actually is. I've been to seminars with famous masters, I've lived and trained in Japan, I've read a lot of books about it, I've read a lot of posts on here and other forums, I've read blogs and hundreds of other web pages, I teach it in my own class, but I still can't claim to understand it.
The one thing that is most missing to me, is the spiritual aspect. I don't mean the "new age" stuff that sczecpan refers too, I mean the spiritual aspect that Kaiso spent hours and hours studying. He formulated this art by mixing aikijitsu with Omotokyo teachings, if we are not working on the spiritual side ourselves, then as others have said above, shouldn't we call what we do something else, because it surely can't be the same?
I've just finished reading a book by Kanshu Sunadomari - Enlightenment through Aikido. It's only a small paperback, but has taken me over 4 months to read, and I still haven't absorbed half of it. In it he does say though that if we only practice form, we will eventually hit a point that we will never progress past. I think that I agree with this, if we are not prepared to explore the spiritual side of the art, it minimizes the perspective with which we view Aikido, and indeed may mean that we are not in fact practicing Aikido.
The difficult thing is finding someone who does understand all this, and who is able to communicate it. There have been a few other books written, which I have read a few times, but reading doesn't help, my understanding is still extremely limited. The glimmer of hope is that if I keep looking into it, one day something may click into place.
A difficult problem is easily solved by asking yourself the question, "Just how would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Teen charged with bringing gun to school
Published: Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 5:40 p.m.
NAPOLEONVILLE — Sheriff Mike Waguespack says a 17-year-old senior at Assumption High School has been arrested for allegedly possessing alcohol and a loaded .22-caliber pistol on campus.
Waguespack said Blaine Scully Jr. of Pierre Part told school officials and sheriff's investigators that he had the handgun inside his vehicle Monday because he intended to go rabbit hunting after class.
Assumption Parish Superintendent Earl Martinez said Wednesday that an investigation by school officials and sheriff's deputies led them to believe Scully did not intend to harm anyone.
Scully was arrested and booked on counts of unauthorized possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on public school property and possession of firearm by a student on school property or firearm-free zone.

Bill Reynolds's praises of Dennis Eckersley as a TV analyst, I hope, are not unanimous ("For what it's worth," Aug 23). Dennis strikes me as someone who loves the sound of His own voice and feels every second of air time should be filled with it.
If he is Rem Dog's (Jerry Remy's) replacement, my mute button will be getting a work out.

SEABROOK — The town's oldest public building and unquestionably a historic treasure, the Old South Meeting House, still stands today as a testament to the pride of Seabrook citizens who have supported its physical needs over many years. But officials say the meeting house, located at the intersection of routes 1 and 107, is facing more repair challenges as it approaches its 250th anniversary next year.
On March 12, voters will be asked to approve warrant article 34, which seeks $43,000 to replace the clapboards and restore the windows at what was for years Seabrook's Town Hall. The estimated impact on the property tax rate is $0.01 per $1,000 of assessed home value.
Seabrook Historical Society member Bruce Brown said the last paint job on the building doesn't appear to have withstood the Seacoast's weather.
"This article would solve that," Brown said, adding that the plan is to install siding rather than having the building painted. "If the town can do the outside, we can raise the money privately to do the inside," Brown said.
According to Brown, the Old South Meeting House was built in 1764 by the Presbyterian Society, following a dispute between residents in the southern half of Hampton Falls and the Hampton Falls Congregational Church. The argument was responsible for not only the building of the Old South Meeting House but also for Seabrook's incorporation as a town in June 1768.
"That building is really the big reason Seabrook came into being," Brown said.
Brown said he remembers going to the meetinghouse during town meetings and voting days with his father, who was chief of police in Seabrook in the 1940s.
"They got a little rowdy at times," Brown said of the meetings.
The Old South Meeting House's storied history reveals its utilization for a variety of purposes, such as housing lectures promoting the abolitionist movement before the Civil War.
The temperance movement was born in the years following the Civil War in Seabrook, and with that came the organization of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) following a lecture given at the meetinghouse in 1884. The members of the WCTU made it their mission to damage the image of saloons by touting the appeal of temperance.
The temperance movement gained strength and over the next several years the sale of alcohol was outlawed in Seabrook.
The Old South Meeting House of the late 1800s was also host to many events outside of the fields of education and religion. Historical data provides the account of a prize fight held Feb. 3, 1891. And up until the early 1920s, gramophone concerts were part of the entertainment offered at the meetinghouse.
From the first town meeting held on the afternoon of July 28, 1768, to the deliberative session held Feb. 5 of this year, efforts to preserve the life of the town's history-filled two-story edifice continue.
Fundraising has been spearheaded by the Historical Society of Seabrook, whose members were granted a 99-year lease on the land and ownership of the building in 1981 by the Trinity United Church.
To date, voters have contributed $268,976 through warrant article requests since 1981, for interior restoration, roof repairs and the purchase of the land surrounding the meeting house.
Brown said the town has the right to use the Old South Meeting House, which contains some Historical Society artifacts and pictures of some of Seabrook's prominent people, as well as the organ in what was the Baptist Church sanctuary on the second level.
Article 34 has the blessing of both the Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee.

(Reuters) - United Airlines said on Monday it plans to outsource more than 630 union jobs at 12 U.S. airports in a cost-saving move. Affected positions include ticket and gate agents and baggage handlers at U.S. airports, including Salt Lake City; United Airlines would shift these jobs from its payroll and hire other companies to provide the employees, under the outsourcing plan. "This is a difficult decision, but we need to ensure that our costs are competitive," United spokeswoman Christen David said on Monday.

Exxon Mobil Cleaning Up Oil Spill on Nigerian Coast
From Bloomberg
By Elisha Bala-Gbogbo
Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Nigerian unit said it began cleaning up part of the nation's southeast coast after a pipeline from an offshore facility spilled at least 200 barrels of crude at the end of last week.
Exxon Mobil shut the pipeline on Nov. 10 and is investigating the cause of the spill in the state of Akwa Ibom, the company said late yesterday in a statement from Lagos, the commercial capital. Dispersants and booms are now being deployed in work involving more than 100 personnel.
The nation's authorities don't yet have an estimate for the amount of crude released. An aerial inspection will be carried out before an estimate on volumes is made, Peter Idabor, director-general of National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, said today by phone from Abuja, the Nigerian capital.
"It is not enough for Mobil to say they are cleaning up; they have to tell us what dispersants they are using," Nnimmo Bassey, executive director of Environmental Rights Action, an affiliate of Friends of the Earth, said today by phone from Benin City, Nigeria. "Their continuous spilling in the area has destroyed the fisheries economy and general livelihoods of the people."

Benefiting from relatively loose regulations and strong geographic ties with mainland China, Hong Kong's capital markets offer diverse financial asset classes and instruments for trading purposes with a high degree of liquidity and market efficiency, as well as transparent regulations. In addition, markets are supported by the Hong Kong government, which works to keep market intervention and taxation to a minimum to maintain market competitiveness.
As Australia continues to be an important player in the global economy, especially regarding its relationship with China, the market should continue to grow over the next few years both in terms of the economy itself and the financial markets. Australia's capital market is one of the more attractive in the region as there are a diverse selection of asset classes and financial derivatives available for trading with relatively lower costs and regulation. From a technological perspective, co-location and central clearing will continue to reshape trading in Australia.

|heavenspun, my daughter sounds the same as your baby. She is 8 months old and rocks on her knees, rolls all over the place, but has difficulty sitting up. It's like she is uninterested in sitting up. She can do it if she is reaching for something etc... but she doesnt do it for long and soon throws herself backwards once she gives up with the toys. If i sit her up with her back rested she will lean forward and sit but again she can only do it for a short while and either decides she has had enough or falls to the side.

|my baby is almost 7 months old, he rolls a lot, trys really hard to crawl (though unsucsessfully he is really deturmined), and when supported he can stand up and trys to walk. Yet he still can't sit up unaided for a prolonged period. He usually slides on to his side. Just wondered if other mums had simalar experiences and if so is it normal to develop in this area later sometimes cos he seems to want to do the advanced things before the easy ones lol?

|What if our baby starts to cry during this process? It appears that he is frustrated that he can't move forward toward me. I imagine that his learning ability goes down when he is crying, so I am not sure that I want him to cry during the process. Or, the tough love theory might say let him keep trying to figure it out.

Reno's East Side Sports Bar & Grill has always been a popular hang out for MSU fans.
"For all the games we definitely get to capacity," said General Manager Stephanie Anderson.
News of the Big Ten Network taking over programming for most Big Ten sporting events means they'll have purchase more programming.
"If there's a game out there and it's possible, we're going to get it," said Anderson.
It's a great way not only to expose not only the great athletes and the
great coaches that we have in the Big Ten, but also to bring people much closer to the universities," said Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany.
Exposure could prove tougher to come by than advertised. Mark Silverman, president of the Big Ten Network, says more than 70 cable companies across the country have signed to carry the channel.
But Comcast isn't one of them.
The network is slated to launch at the end of August. Silverman and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany were on MSU's campus
Wednesday, pushing for more companies to carry the network.
"We're producing over 400 events. We want to make them all available to cable operators," said Silverman. "You should be able to pick which game you want to see."
A copy of the Michigan State University 2007-08 football schedule shows MSU playing eight games against opponents in the Big Ten.
If you don't have the Big Ten Network, you're guaranteed to see the Spartans play only a single game on television. That game is on September 22nd against Notre Dame, because Notre Dame has a contract with NBC.
"Direct TV has agreed," said Silverman. "They're carrying all the games. So if you're a direct TV subscriber, you're going to get access."
Not everyone has Direct TV, and not everyone is going to pay for it.
"The Big Ten Network definitely is going to mess that up," said Alison Rosaen, a diner at Reno's. "It's going to make people go to the bar more often."
Great news for businesses like Reno's-- not necessarily for the Big Ten Network.

"Remember the Alamo!" became a famous battle cry.
We may remember the Alamo, but we don't remember who died there. The battle of 1836 was a victory for the Mexican army under General Santa Anna, whose soldiers killed all the Texans who fought against them. But many other men, women, and children in the fort were spared. Historians argue about the exact number—was So-and-so still there or had he left before the final battle?—but it seems that two or three African-American male slaves were spared as were many wives and children of the defenders.
The official Alamo website tries to correct this persistent myth: "It is true that nearly all of the Texans under arms inside the fort were killed in the March 6, 1836, attack. However, nearly twenty women and children, who experienced the twelve days of siege leading to the final assault, were spared and allowed to return to their homes. The survivors also included Joe, the slave of William B. Travis. The best-known Alamo survivor, Susanna Dickinson, was sent to Gonzales by Santa Anna with a warning to the Texans that the same fate awaited them if they continued their revolt."

Assistant Professor O. Gustavo Plascencia – photography and foundations
I was raised in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila. I attended the Escuela de Artes Plasticas "Ruben Herrera" in Saltillo, Mexico before immigrating to the USA. I received my MFA at the University of Colorado in Boulder in Photography and Media Arts and my BFA from the University of Texas at Arlington.

In my work I examine the constructive nature of identity, the conflict that individuals face building their identities, and the dichotomy of private and public lives. My work challenges the dualities – and sometimes conflicts – between domesticity and utilitarianism, personal and communal, self and society. I explore ideas of home, belonging, loss, self, gender, and domesticity.
In teaching, I have the unique opportunity to empower individuals to discover their potential and the ability to provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to reach that potential. I recognize that different people learn differently and I must accommodate my teaching style to reach all of my students. In my classes, my students learn about analog and digital photography, medium and large format cameras, and alternative processes. Additionally we explore projects that examine interdisciplinary approaches, social change, service learning, and community outreach.

Results from a Wisconsin pilot program show that outreach testing with rapid hepatitis C virus (HCV) kits can uncover a substantial number of active but unreported infections.
The Wisconsin Division of Public Health (WDPH) conducted the program from October 2012 to October 2013 with clients from 4 community agencies that offer outreach testing for HCV and HIV and other services for people with drug dependence.
During the pilot, 1255 clients gave blood samples for rapid HCV testing. About 20% had positive results. Nearly three-fourths of the infections weren't recorded in the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System, indicating they were newly detected and not reported to the WDPH. The vast majority of those with positive results—82%—said they were injection drug users (Stockman LJ et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2014;63[14]:309-311).

Some Directors Said to Seek Ouster at AOL
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
Published: September 17, 2002
Several directors of AOL Time Warner are seeking to oust the company's chairman, Stephen M. Case, and he is resisting their challenge, according to three people close to the board.
The directors may seek Mr. Case's removal as early as a board meeting in New York on Thursday. But Mr. Case wants to remain chairman, AOL Time Warner executives close to him said, and he will probably have enough support to forestall an open challenge at the meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on his position at the company's annual meeting in the spring.
Under the terms of the merger Mr. Case negotiated for AOL to acquire Time Warner , a vote of three-quarters of the board is required to unseat him as chairman, so he needs only 3 allies on the 14-member board to withstand a challenge. "There is no basis for any rumors that Steve Case is leaving," said Edward Adler, a spokesman for AOL Time Warner.
AOL Time Warner executives have acknowledged over the last few months that Mr. Case has come under fire from several institutional shareholders angry about his role as chief architect of AOL's acquisition of Time Warner. Shares of the combined company have fallen more than 70 percent since the deal closed because of disappointment with the merger.
Once promoted as an engine to turbo-charge Time Warner's old-media business with digital distribution, the merger has instead dragged the company down as growth has stalled. And this summer, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department started investigations into whether AOL improperly inflated its results before the merger, raising the possibility that AOL may have misled Time Warner shareholders.
Gerald M. Levin, the former chief executive of Time Warner who agreed to the merger, resigned as chief executive of the combined company in January. Then this summer, Robert W. Pittman, the chief operating officer and Mr. Case's outspoken lieutenant, resigned as well. With Mr. Pittman gone and the accounting investigation advancing, disgruntled shareholders have refocused their criticism on Mr. Case, the last executive from AOL among top management.
Shareholders seeking Mr. Case's ouster contend that his association with the merger now detracts from AOL Time Warner's credibility on Wall Street and demoralizes executives from the Time Warner divisions. They say that Time Warner shareholders and employees now feel he duped their company into an unfair merger. They also say he made $100 million in profit on sales of AOL Time Warner stock while many shareholders and executives held on and watched their investments evaporate.
Mr. Case has, meanwhile, adopted a largely behind-the-scenes, advisory role at the company, making his current contributions to the company hard to discern, his critics say.
Some major shareholders have lobbied the board for an ouster. Two people who said they had discussed the matter with John C. Malone, whose holding company, Liberty Media , is one of AOL Time Warner's largest shareholders, said he would support a removal. A spokesman for Liberty Media declined to comment.
Mr. Case has also lost some support on the board. With Mr. Pittman's resignation, each side of the company has seven directors. A person close to Ted Turner, another of the largest shareholders, said he now favored Mr. Case's removal. Mr. Turner was a Time Warner director; he supported Mr. Case, the person said, until the allegations that AOL may have inflated its results emerged this summer. Mr. Turner could not be reached for comment.
The movement to oust Mr. Case is being pressed by some of the directors from the Time Warner side of the company, according to people close to the board. The Time Warner directors include Stephen F. Bollenbach, chief executive of Hilton Hotels ; Carla A. Hills, chief executive of Hills & Company; Reuben Mark, chairman of Colgate Palmolive ; Michael A. Miles, chairman of Philip Morris ; and Fay Vincent, former commissioner of baseball.
Last night some people close to the board said two directors — James L. Barksdale, who joined the AOL board when the company acquired his business, Netscape, and Daniel F. Akerson, chief executive of XO Communications — could no longer be counted on to back Mr. Case.
But Mr. Adler, the AOL Time Warner spokesman, said its chief executive, Richard D. Parsons, who is a former Time Warner executive and director, still supports Mr. Case. In a recent statement responding to questions about Mr. Case's role, the company described him as Mr. Parsons's "primary thought partner and sounding board on a wide range of issues." It added: "As C.E.O., Dick ultimately is responsible for managing the company, but he welcomes and seriously considers Steve's advice and counsel."
Mr. Case's supporters argue that he adds an important perspective on the company's biggest problem, which is improving the performance of the AOL division. They note that Mr. Case has demonstrated a knack for long-term strategy by beating better-financed competitors like Microsoft to build AOL into a new-media behemoth.

Ever Have Dreams About Your Work?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
August 9, 2009
When you spend enough time doing something, it's likely to stick in your subconscious mind and manifest itself in your dreams.
Do you dream of voice overs?
Hear about one voice talent, Lisa Foster, whose radio experience won't leave her alone!
I Dream of Radio...
When glancing at some Facebook status updates, I noticed that my friend Lisa Foster had updated hers to say that she "is having 'radio' dreams again... the microphone won't work, my news scripts aren't ready, I missed my cue, and the buttons don't work! What does that mean?!??"
Good question. What does that mean?
Do You Dream of Voice Acting?
Maybe you've had similar dreams such as the recording session that never ends.
Perhaps you've been visited by past sessions, present sessions, or recording sessions yet to come!
It's possible that you might have recurring dreams where you are repeating the same actions over and over, or for that matter, recording the same script over and over again.
More interesting still, you may even narrate your own dreams... now there's a thought!
Do You Have a Voice Acting Dream to Share?
If you've been having voice over related dreams, whether you're a voice actor or a fan, I'd love to hear about them!
Looking forward to hearing your stories,

Hey Steph,
Yes, I've had similar "nightmares". A million years ago, when I was the 6 to midnight disc jockey at a small market radio station on the out skirts of Lima, Ohio, I would have the same nightmare just about every night. That the record (yes we had records back then!) would run out while I was in the bathroom. And I was locked in!!!
So, when I needed a bathroom break - I would play "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (17 minutes five seconds) at about the same time every night. I wanted to be sure I had ample time to get back on the air! A direct result of my recurrent dream. Finally, the station manager called me and asked what my problem was. Sure he liked Iron Butterfly too but to play that song every night was crazy. After all the farmers only wanted their crop reports. He said he would "fine" me if I played it again and every time afterward!!!!
Besides some cows and a few goats, the Station Manager was one of the few townspeople to actually listen to the station. From that point on, I would leave the bathroom door open.
Ah yes, my "radio dreams" have remained with me, years during and after my years as a broadcaster. Guess I, like many others I have spoken with in radio have had the same affliction. I think we all remained in fear of the hotline lighting up during our shows and that an irate PD would be on the other end, asking what all that "dead air" was all about. Oh yea, and yes, I'd still have them, despite the fact that I was a PD, too!!!
Fortunately, in the several years since I've been a freelance voice actress, not a single "voiceover dream", except the one I work on every day while awake.Posted by:
I have a dream to share !!!
Once, I was in this room for looking at my friend as a contestance in a radio show... I was there as an audience..as you see..from that day onwards, I longed wanted to be someone like a radio broadcaster...
It's just so fun...it was like during a Sunday afternoon, I took a nap, and dreamt that I was really a radio broadcaster...a really cool one...we read out stories..and many more..It is just so fun entertaining the people listening to you..It just gives me happiness, as I have spreaded something to them..a comedy DJ..ha ha ...
I did weekends and fill-in shifts on radio for years (never wanted to do full-time radio - too many other things to do) back in the days before CDs. All the songs were on individual carts.
The PD would pick out my selection of music for my shift and leave it in a large box in the studio. I got to mix it however I wanted - which was cool - but one time I didn't have enough music to play during my shift and the room with all the music was LOCKED! I ended up digging into the box of music the DJ from the prior shift left behind in order not to repeat any of my songs that shift.
After that, I would frequently dream of running out of music.
Prior to that I worked as a Staff Announcer at KFMB-TV where I would dream of clock faces with the hands spinning wildly and digital clocks with the numbers going all kaflooey. My job was to say something when required (this was a LIVE booth announce job) and to keep the station log (when the commercials ran, when the shows started and ended). I must have really hated that part of the job, because I could not for the life of me keep accurate logs - I'd write down 5:45:54 - instead of 4:55:45 - and not see that there was a problem. The Program Manager was not happy with me.
And prior to that Booth Announce job, I edited film for the station. We had to remove a couple of minutes per each hour show and up to 20 minutes or so out of movies in order to add more commercials. So I was the one who cut out your favorite scene from Star Trek. But that job was so awful (I shared the office with a woman who thought she was reincarnated from Cleopatra and looked like a cartoon character), I would wake up in the middle of the night running from a giant film projector chasing me down the hall.
But as stated above, since doing VO work full-time, I don't dream about the biz - either pleasant or otherwise.Posted by:
Hi Ed, Bob, Kai, and Connie,
Thank you very much for sharing your stories!
It's interesting to hear that working in radio is the source of so many weird (and no doubt anxious) dreams! I'm happy to hear that you are free of those dreams now that you do voice over.
Could we deduce that voice acting is good for mental health?

This is a strange recurring dream I've had for years. Somehow I am employed as a DJ for a radio station which is in a rundown rural area. The control room is a large wooden one-room building which is dirty and in very poor condition structurally.
Unfortunately, the music library has to be stored in another large open shed which is 200 feet down a sandy hill on which nothing is growing. The reason for this remote storage area is that each song is recorded on a big rock which is so large that only one-at-a-time can be carried back up the hill. The frustrating problem is that these "records" keep ending before I can get the next one up the hill ... and I am the only person on the scene. This process continues until I can no longer carry the rocks, am exhausted and finally wake up.
This evidently is the result of some deep-rooted fear of dead air from my DJ days of long ago. I certainly hope this doesn't have deeper psychological significance.

Hi David,
Thank you very much for sharing your dream. I hope it flies the coop soon! It's amazing how some things stay with you. From what I've been reading, it would definitely appear as though the real-time aspect of radio (playing songs, staying on track timing wise, etc.) is the cause of much stress for on-air talent and DJs.
Anyone else being haunted by radio duties in their dreams?
StephaniePosted by:
Ahh! Radio dreams! Let's see... missing remote broadcasts..... forget to schedule part timers..... psycho listeners showing up after dark.... but no work dream was worse than being about 18 years old and working a long shift at McDonald's, only to go home and spend the next 6 restless hours of sleep dreaming of making Big Macs!Posted by:
Hi Stephanie,
In college, I worked as an announcer for a station that played elevator music. It was a great job for studying because the music was programmed in fifteen minute chunks of time and all I had to do was reload the tapes and read weather and news updates. A sister station located in the same building played AC.
My shift spanned two nights and mornings every weekend from 6 pm to midnight and 6 am to noon. I lived an hour away so instead of driving all the way home just to turn around again I would bring a sleeping bag and crash in the sales offices on the second floor. I depended on the overnight DJ from the sister station as a back up alarm and had many dreams that neither would wake me and "dead air†would prevail. Thankfully, that never happened and I moved on to better air shifts and opportunities.Posted by:
I imagine I am dreaming these "dead air" dreams because I miss doing voiceovers and am glad that I have started again.
I still dream that I have forgotten the call letters or am in the wrong room when I hit dead air.
Never happened that I recall.
I've been away from radio since 1999 and I still get Dead Air nightmares; I've worked at several stations and the recurring dream happens at the same station; single market pre-computer era, we're live 24/7 and I can't find music anywhere in on-air, production or the hallways / no cds, carts, vinyl, nothing. I need therapy.Posted by:
