Abstract satellite photos JUL 11 2008
An amazing collection of abstract satellite photos, demonstrating the "impressionist, cubist and pointillist" side of the earth's landscape.
The images you see below were taken at the turn of the Millennium, when NASA's scientists had a brilliant idea: to scan through 400,000 images taken by the Landsat 7 satellite and display only the most the most beautiful. A handful of the best were painstakingly chosen and then displayed at the Library of Congress in 2000.

Lloyds Dashes Rivals' PPI Case
Lloyds Banking Group's gargantuan £3.2 billion provision to compensate customers mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI) has put its rivals in a sticky position.
It has been considering appealing the High Court's April 20 rejection of an effort to review new rules that make banks liable for massive customer payouts. With the most-exposed bank now conceding defeat, it will be tough to carry on the fight.
New Lloyds CEO Antonio Horta-Osorio called it the "sensible, prudent and right thing to do," in order to draw a line under the issue and avoid a lengthy fight with the Financial Services Authority, the regulator that ordered banks to review their PPI sales and write to customers about potential compensation.
PPI is an insurance policy on repayments for customers taking out personal loans, mortgages and credit cards, in case they lose their jobs or otherwise become unable to pay, but it wasn't always made clear to them that it was optional or appropriate to their needs.
The "kitchen sink" provision also ties in with Mr. Horta-Osorio's effort to address problems early and get all of Lloyds' bad news out of the way as he sets a new tone for the bank since starting as CEO on March 1 this year.
Lloyds' peers, including Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland, didn't want to comment Thursday on what they might do over PPI or how much claims could come to. Analysts estimate the charges could come to billions of pounds, though Lloyds had the largest market share by far. Santander U.K. said it has always dealt with customer complaints as they come up and wasn't involved in any legal action to overturn the rules.
The British Bankers' Association that mounted the High Court claim said it's still considering whether to mount an appeal before a May 10 deadline.
Some analysts said they were surprised Lloyds moved so quickly on the PPI issue, but put it down to Mr. Horta-Osorio wanting to avoid nasty surprises later. He has also stressed that customers are at the heart of the bank's planned shift in strategy, and it wouldn't do to have a public battle over repaying those who have been badly served. The bank said it made the decision after long discussions with the FSA and that the provision is its best estimate of total costs.
Sweeping legacy issues under the carpet is a natural wish for any new CEO, and Mr. Horta-Osorio in particular seems keen to send the message he's not afraid of taking decisive action. Since taking the helm, he's already installed several of his top lieutenants from former employer Santander U.K. and moved forward the planned sale of 600 branches.
Further strategic shifts are due to be announced by the end of June that will seek to clear the slate on the 41% state-owned bank's troubles since the financial crisis.

MILAN, ITALY - The Piaggio Group has earmarked Aprilia to represent the group's five-brand portfolio in the medium- and top-end of the high-performance motorcycle market.
The Piaggio Group controls the Piaggio, Vespa, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Derbi and Gilera brands.
Piaggio's plan is to use put some serious funding behind Aprilia, allowing the company to ramp up its on-road and off-road product offerings, and then to create excitement for that product through increased participation in on-road and off-road competition.
Aprilia introduced the 450cc SXV and RXV at EICMA 2005, and the SL 750 Shiver and 850cc Mana at EICMA 2006. This year the company revealed four bikes: the SMV 750 Dorsoduro, RX 125, SX 125 and the concept FV2 1200.
SMV 750 Dorsoduro
Aprilia describes the SMV 750 Dorsoduro as "a radical, acrobatic, sports motorcycle with no space for frills or parts that are not essential to delivering maximum riding pleasure."
Well, "no frills" may be in the eye of the beholder. You see, while the Dorsoduro eliminates everything the rider does not actually need, including passenger footrests (available as an optional accessory) it does offer gobs of things the rider of such a bike would desire. In short, it's the Gentleman's Supermotard.

It's my first year participating in the race and I'm very excited. This year, I don't know what it was, but something compelled me to participate in a cause that strikes one in eight women in their lifetime and touches hundreds of UPSers and their families.

I would like to start teaching my 3 1/2 year old son the history of all the holidays celebrated in the US. From Ground Hog's Day, to Memorial Day to Christmas and all those others in between.
Is there a book out there with simple historical explanations of how the holidays got started and how they are celebrated?
I looked on Amazon and could not find such a book. Thanks for your suggestions.

I am not a huge fan of any of the songs that were played in the latter part of the set this night (except bowie!) but it didn't appear that Phish was playing this song and then that song. It just felt like music rising up, unfolding, blossoming. It was very enjoyable!
The end jam of KDF was fast, and overwhelming, bluesy, and the transition in to MFMF was almost indecipherable of where one song ended and another began (just like all of the transitions between songs in late set 2).
MFMF was pretty standard until the end. You know how Trey makes his guitar scream toward the end? Well, I have never heard his guitar scream that loud, at that pitch in MFMF before. It was absolutely haunting and bone-chilling. I was very surprised and happy with no myfe ending. Thought that part should have been truncated before it was put on the "Rift" album.
Swept Away > Steep is a great vehicle for slowing the pace but not killing the energy created in previous songs. These two songs paired together maintain the intensity of the set and yet give the listener a mental break to prepare for what comes next. Also, needless to say I was swept away by KDF>MFMF and what would come next would be STEEP.
Piper. Numerous people have been lamenting the short intro into this song and praising the long jam afterword. That is exactly the kind of Piper that ensued. I like the short intro. The slow build on some other Pipers has caused me to lose interest. This version gets going right away and after the looping chorus a beautiful multi-faceted jam follows. I am also a big fan of Page's theremin and toward the end of the jam it gets really spacey and somewhat "scary" and I hoped the thermin would make an appearance. Didn't really matter though, this Piper jam was superb in every way, every way...
Free is not a favorite of mine but this song was very intense. So many Frees in the past have just been "the same" with no real emotion to them, like the band is trying to fill time and space with something that is "okay" instead of transforming. I could feel the intensity in Trey's voice as he sang and almost thought he would start screaming the words. At this point, I was connected. To the band, to the music, and not necessarily to the song. That is what it should be about right? Not hoping for this or that, not wishing for this song, or a long jam, or a theremin sighting, not wanting at all, but being satisfied, and perhaps more than that, elated by what you are hearing. I witnessed free flowing creation. Yes, I had heard all of these songs before, but they were new again to me on this night and I was happy to be there. (I really did feel like I was there, thank you streamers!)
I love Kung. First heard it from the 93 roxy shows, and again from the Brooklyn show in 04. It is voraciously alternate. It reminds me of a poem I wrote once while on mushrooms. It all makes total sense at the time, but the next day it just makes you shake your head and laugh. This song enveloped me in a blanket of joyous darkness. Tasted like dark, dark chocolate.
Harry Hood was the type of song on this night that would make you turn to the total stranger standing next to you and say, "I know you don't know me, but I love you man!" It is the type of jam that makes you want to call your Mom and Dad and thank them for making you. Wonderful feeling of gratitude and bliss.
Cavern then the end of the set right? Great set. Wait. Fishman goes into the Bowie intro! I could listen to a cassette tape of Bowie over and over again. In fact, I used to when I was in college! Anyway, you know the ending when Trey keeps going higher and higher in the solo followed by the band deconstructing and briefly stopping before going back into a still higher solo? Well, Trey took this part to a whole 'nother level. He stacked the boxes on top of columns, then pulled out the fireman's ladder and climbed up to hit notes unparalleled!
YEM is yet another great version and the perfect ending to an exceptional and noteworthy second half of a second set. I will be coming back to this show again and again to see if it stands up to the test of time. Some shows lose their luster because no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to rekindle that same feeling. Other shows skin it back over and over in spades. We will just have to see with 7-8-12.
Again, don't take it from me, I just listened to the stream and only caught part of the show. Listen for yourself and see if you don't disagree, this one is worth taking notice!

Public Spaces
Arlington's Court House parking lot will become a park
Arlington may be a paragon of Smart Growth and sustainable transportation, but if you go to the county offices at Court House, a giant surface parking lot dominates the landscape. That could soon change with recommendations to turn it into a new town green with parking below.
All images from Arlington County.
County planners presented three options last night which incorporated input from a task force and the public. All three options keep most or all of the current parking lot as a new green, with only small amounts of parking at surface level.
Courthouse Square today and the parcels for possible redevelopment.
They mainly differ in minor aspects of the layout. Concept A is oriented more north-south, B diagonal, and C east-west. They all recommend development on the Verizon plaza south of 14th Street, and redeveloping some of the nearby buildings, though with varying options for where to put taller buildings versus shorter ones.
The county would also move office space into one of the new buildings. On Option C, that could include an "iconic wing" at the southern end of the square; in exchange, some of what's now the AMC theater would become open space as part of the plaza, with a small "market shed" near where the theater now stands. The other options would leave all of the current parking lot as open space.
County staff emphasized that, as with many of these studies that create a few options, the options simply illustrate various pieces that planners can ultimately mix and match.
They will seek feedback in person and through an online survey to develop a final plan, which they will show to community groups in September and October, the Planning Commission in November, and bring to the County Board in December.
What do you think would be the best design for the square?
What's the deal with the theater? Is the expectation that the county would buy the land it sits on or did that happen a while back? It's a pretty big deal if one of the plans actually envisions it being completely gone.
I agree there should be some parking for people that need it, but there's already a public garage right nearby that's actually free after a certain time. If that garage fills up, maybe instead of creating more cheap parking the cost of that parking should just go up?

|Hi there, it doesn't matter how long you've been on the pill. It certainly didn't affect me! Or take time to leave my system. I took the pill for 10 years, I came off it on Oct 5th. I conceived on October 12th!! I had no bleeding at any point, just conceived immediately. I knew pretty quick as I had sore breasts, twinges in my abdomen and felt very tired!

|Hi I'm trying for my first baby with my partner who has 2 daughters from previous relationships aged 17 and 5. I came off cezarette on holidays on the 24th August. From the day we returned, 4th September, had really really sore boobs, normally not sensitive at all. Then I started feeling exhausted, started peeing all the time and felt faint on occasions. Was convinced I was pregnant, but not to be. Came on after 4 weeks 2 days was gutted, but didn't expect it to work first time as had been on the pill since i was 17 due to extremely painful periods and I'm now 35. Working on the theory of 28 day cycle got all geared up this week and then came on just 12 days after the start of my first one. More gutted now as I know it will make it harder to conceive, plus we'd really like a boy, although would be happy with anything, and have a bit more chance of trying for a boy if know my cycle. I used to have really irregular periods so cant just blame it on the pill, but never used to have all the pregnancy symptoms when I was coming on before. Interesting to see I'm not the only one with these weird symptoms. Good luck all of you xxx

|My name is Eve.I am trying to get pregnant, I came off the pill cerazette 10 days ago. I'm not expecting to get pregnant for a while as I was takikng cerazette religiously for about 3-4 years. I have two sons, I am really,really hoping for a daughter, I have been looking on internet for tips on increasing my chances of concieving a girl baby!! (even putting white vineagar in my bath!) I think its madness, and I'm not garanteed to have a girl, so will have to let nature take its corse, I'm even trying to get my hubby to eat more dairy products becuase what they/we eat contributes to the sex of the baby. I would like to hear from people like me!! xx

|I had my last withdrawel bleed on 10th June then I stopped taking the pill and we started trying to conceive. It is now the 14th July and I have not had my period. I am constantly fatigued, sore breasts, really moody, I had nausea for two weeks but this has now gone and feeling like I am getting my period, but it feels like it's not coming, is this just because I have come off the pill or should I take a test? I don't want to take one in case it's negative but I am sick of feeling like this.

|I was put on cerezette (POP) as i had very irregular periods each month on microgynon. I have come off my pill to start a family but i am not sure if i will get 'normal periods' or not or if it will go back to being light bleeding then heavy bleeding which is what my periods were like.

|Hey all....My experience so far!! I came off the pill 24th december as a new years resolution to become pregnant with my partner of 5years. Knowing i'd been on the pill since 17 and now 25 i knew it would be difficult to concieve. In my 1st month of trying (January) i had all the syptoms of being pregnant, cramping, spotting, sore dark nipples, nausia, you name it i had it. We did a test on the 24th Jan showing negative, and then very heavy bleeding 25th which lasted 5days like my period but never like before. Not sure if it was the effects of coming of the pill but all the website advise differently and its difficult to know whats happening to me. Now in february i have none of the syptoms as januarys month. Has any of you lovelly ladies experienced similiar after coming of the pill ?

|hi, me and my partner decided to come off the pill in august of last yr. I had a normal cycle straight away and continued to have regular cycles untill i missed my period in feburary. I have been to the doctors and blood tests etc say all is normal, except i still haven't had a period, my dr says i just have to wait. My last cycle was january. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how long did you go without periods? It's now been almost 4 months with no cycle. I's driving me crazy!

|Hello All, I stopped taking the Dianete pill in early December and had my usual monthly period. Since then We've been trying to conceive actively (my partner already has a little boy so we know he's fertile etc). I have not had my usual monthly period thus far in January (5 days late) but the Ovulation kit said that I was ovulating, but the pregnancy test was negative.... any ideas or advice? I have been taking folic acid since November 09. Thanks :)

Nice draft.
I don't feel Joe "The Jet" is a 3rd rounder - I see drafts where is is mid to late 4th. Love to get him in thhe 4th. I'd much rather get a RG with that pick like Brandon Brooks.
Really like the Green, McNutt and Burisss picks. I've seen McNutt going in the 3rd and I feel he will beccome an excellent WR with the type of coaching we are now providing.
Good work.

Presence of Aikido in Krav Maga?

Re: Presence of Aikido in Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is a form of mma, it is a mixture of martial arts, lots of Muay Thai, and bits and pices of other stuff. Mostly created for fast learning and as some would think effective ways to defend self in combat situation. It is none traditional, I am avoiding calling it a martial art, since the "art" pice is missing from this " combat style fighting".
I have studied and taken Krav Maga, it was not what I was looking for. Majority of it is common sence and i found it to be not effective in a way that I would like my martial art to be effective. Very many techniques I found to be awkward and a good way to get killed.
This is my experience. For quick learning I found Japanese jiujitsu to be the best choice for me, it just feels natural and makes lots of sence, for long term and personal development I am studying aikido. Both aikido and jiujitsu go hand in hand and if you really want to expand your horizons and get into ground work there is always judo.
I think, from personal experience, Krav Maga is a big marketing gimic.

EI Celebrates Board Recognition Week Early
According to the New York State School Boards Association, School Board Recognition Week is officially held this year from Oct. 29-Nov. 2. Since that would be too early for the East Islip Board of Education's Nov. 8 meeting, the district celebrated a few weeks early, and each of the six district schools created artwork tributes in honor of the Board's service, displayed at the Board's Oct. 11 regular monthly meeting.
Addressing the Board last week, Superintendent of Schools John J. Finello said, "We sometimes take for granted all the time and effort you put in. We wanted to recognize that publically with a big 'thank you.'" The artwork created by the schools was acknowledged, and each member of the Board was given a plaque, presented by Finello, and an EI sweatshirt, presented by two students from the high school, Alaina Fango and Ashley Tarduno.
In his report to the Board, Finello noted that New York State had approved East Islip's APPR plan, and commended Assistant Superintendent Alise Becker-Santa, the administration and teachers for their hard work on the crucial project. Noting that the APPR deadline is in January, he said, "We made it with plenty of time to spare."
Up next was accountant Alan Yu, of the district's external auditing firm, Cullen & Danowski, LLP. Yu presented a summary of the 2012 fiscal year, noting the district had strong controls and no compliance violations.
The Board approved one new policy, No. 5426 – Concussion Management, which was intended to comply with New York State's Concussion Act passed in July 2012. Another was recommended: No. 5300.60 – Visitors to Schools.
Two field trips (for the high school boys and girls cross-country teams to compete in Rhode Island from Oct. 19-20, and for high school musicians to perform at the NYSSMA All-State Music Conference in Rochester in November) were also approved.
Becker-Santa, the assistant superintendent for instruction and personnel, discussed the ongoing development of the Parent Portal and efforts to go paperless. She also announced numerous personnel appointments, including the tenure of East Islip Middle School special education teacher Jessica Rella, who was in attendance.
Discussing districtwide committees, Board President Ken Cronin noted, "The committees are being filled right now…you will be notified soon."
At the very end of the meeting, representatives of the burgeoning East Islip Music and Arts Program Support organization (known as "eiMAPs") presented the Board with a surprise $2,408 donation for the benefit of the district's art and music department. The funds will be used to reinstate the high school and middle school jazz bands as well as the Photography Club.
The East Islip Board of Education will hold its next regular monthly meeting on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. The meeting will be held in the district office boardroom at 1 Craig B. Gariepy Avenue in Islip Terrace.

It was revealed late last year that the Blaugrana were looking for a bigger stadium to increase their matchday revenue.
Two options seemed to be available for the Catalans – renovate the existing Camp Nou, or build a new stadium in the city.
However, the mayor of Barcelona has claimed that club president Sandro Rosell has already spoken to him about their preferred option.
"I met with Barcelona's President a few days ago and he told me they'll probably choose to remodel the Camp Nou," Trias told RAC1.

An inspiring Mom.
I haven't actually known Sonya Wilson for very long. I have, however, seen her beautiful children -- especially her son, Sebastian -- around the neighborhood and in our home. (He's one of Darius' best friends.)
I've seen her strong influence in their character, in the way they respect her instruction and in the way they treat others. For those reasons, she stands out, and I had the privilege of sitting down with her and her kids to see what it was that she was doing so right.
Since 1985, Sonya has lived in West Dallas. She had Sebastian when she was a teenager, and closely behind came Ne'Ne', and finally, Jermond. They're 17, 15 and 14 and ooze joy with one another -- so much so, you can't help but notice something's different.
These kids love their momma.
"She's just the very best mom," says Sebastian, a 6-4 basketball star. "I wouldn't want any other."
"She's taught me to be a strong woman like she is -- independent. She's taught me to respect myself," chimes Ne'Ne', a cheerleader for Pinkston who's making excellent grades (just as her momma expects).
Jermond is lying in his momma's bedroom, eyes open, awake -- but quiet. His bed is 2 feet from hers always, and although he can't respond to her, she's confident he knows her. At 15 months, after contracting viral meningitis, he went from being a busy toddler to being severely disabled. Sonya was just 23.
Jermond needs full-time care during the day so Sonya can go to work at Home Depot, a job she's proudly held for five years.
At night, Sebastian says, "We all help but she -- she's amazing. She pops right up in the middle of the night when he needs her because she's his momma. That's what mommas do."
Sonya couldn't agree more. The single mother says simply, "I'm the mom. People say I'm strong, but I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do for my son -- for all the children. She longs for them to enjoy their childhood and hang onto their innocence as long as possible. She also wants to see them have and do what she did not.
In a season when her home could be filled to overflowing with teen angst, Sonya Wilson's is not. Instead, she is surrounded by children who honor her for the mother she is to them, who love one another -- and who have joy and perspective that stand out in the heart of Dallas' inner city.

Thank you for sharing that story! She's clearly not working for her "reward" here on earth- but she will get it on the other side of Glory!
This reminds me of the difference between physically "having kids" and truly being a mother-- she is a mother b/c of her actions and choices each day, not b/c she physically had those children. May God bless her!!!

Excused absence: NRCC chair Pete Sessions skips gay/lesbian GOP dinner, but group shrugs it off as a scheduling conflict
Rep. Pete Sessions is sending an aide tonight to collect an award from the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay and lesbian group. He caught flak from social conservatives for accepting the invite, but Log Cabin leaders are taking no offense, saying the Dallas lawmaker–who chairs the party's House campaign committee – seems to have a genuine last-minute scheduling conflict.
"About four or five days ago he called and said he's been called to a mandatory Republican Conference meeting," said Log Cabin spokeswoman Melissa Kennedy. "We don't feel like the bride on the wedding day who's been stood up at the altar."
In lieu of a personal appearance, Sessions taped a video message that organizers will hold off playing until the end of the evening, in case he manages to swing by. He and Texas Sen. John Cornyn are slated to get an award reserved for GOP leaders "who have served their nation with distinction in the model of the late Senator Barry Goldwater."
On Thursday morning, House Republicans will unveil a ballyhooed 2010 version of the Contract With America. At the National Republican Congressional Campaign, spokesman Paul Lindsay blamed Sessions' conflict on the need to attend a meeting at which GOP lawmakers will preview the campaign agenda. "Part of his responsibilities as chairman of the NRCC is to meet with Republican groups that share our goal of retiring Nancy Pelosi, and he looks forward to working together to help GOP candidates win in November," Lindsay said.
Log Cabin board members met with Sessions this afternoon at the NRCC's office near the Capitol.
"We do not think this is any kind of political backpedaling. He's sending his staff. He's been very gracious. They're accepting the award…. I don't think it's anything other than a DC thing," Kennedy said.
She noted that if Sessions was embarrassed to be associated with the group, he might have said something in the last month about his photo , prominently displayed on its website to promote the dinner.
Cornyn, who chairs the GOP's Senate campaign committee, never planned to speak at the dinner but is expected at a reception beforehand. Like Sessions, he differs with Log Cabin members on such issues as same-sex marriage and the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. But that, Kennedy said, means "we're 80 percent in sync. We're for low taxes. Strong defense. All these things you associate with Republicans."

A family man, Kane E. Leedy enjoys spending as much time as possible with his wife, Shannon, his 10-month-old son, Charlie, as well as with other members of his family.
Born in Missouri, Leedy grew up in Woodbridge, Va., graduated from high school in Conway, S.C., and earned a bachelor's degree in financial management from Clemson University and a master's degree in management from Florida Institute of Technology.
This was followed by a stint as a contracting intern with the Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Md.
In 2006, Leedy transferred to Belcamp, Md., to begin work with the Army Contracting Command -- Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., as a team leader/ contracting officer supporting the Joint
Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.
It was a move that not only brought him closer to his family geographically, but one he says has provided him with a lot of experiences he would not have obtained if he had stayed with the Navy.
Knowing that IEDs are the terrorist's weapons of choice because, according to Leedy, "they require limited skills to build and they produce dramatic results with little time and money invested," the contracting officer feels especially privileged to work with the JIEDDO.
The JIEDDO's goal is to drive down the effectiveness and frequency of IED attacks which helps protect the Soldier in theater.
In addition to spending his off hours with family, the contracting officer enjoys working out by lifting weights and doing various forms of cardio exercise when, of course, he's not rooting for his alma mater, "Go Clemson!"

Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles
by Cat Bordi
Buy it now at Amazon.com
I'd heard so much about this book that when I finally laid hands on a copy I was momentarily confused. Surely this 44-page soft-bound booklet wasn't the same one everyone was talking about? Where was the rest of it?
Once I opened it up and started reading, I realized the magnitude of my misconception.
If you're interested in learning how to knit socks on two circular needles -- a hot topic for many knitters today -- this is the only book you'll ever need to own.
Here Kitty Kitty
She knows exactly how to explain it to newbies, anticipating confusing points and conveying comfort and confidence in her friendly, conversant writing style.
The Technique
That's when I realized that some things are best understood by doing, not just analyzing. Take out your needles and some test yarn, follow Bordhi's instructions, and you'll quickly see what I mean.
The Payoff
The book's title isn't just catchy alliteration. In using two circular needles instead of four or five DPNs, you're eliminating more than half of the needle joins, each of which can momentarily stall your progress.
Bordhi compares the results to a ride on an express train, while the traditional DPN technique is the milk train that stops at every village and town along the way.
Pattern Support
If you have a tried-and-true sock pattern that you've always used, fear not: Bordi explains how to convert "traditional" sock patterns for use with two circular needles. Or if you prefer to start from scratch, you can begin with her Simple Sock Pattern. But don't stop there.
There are four easy patterns, six intermediate ones, and one advanced. She touches on every knitting aesthetic, from textures to lace and simple colors.
Bonus Extras
I'm grateful that Bordhi took the time, energy, and risk of publishing this book herself. It joins Spin Off's Socks! on my list of essential sock-knitting resources.

Time to Repeal "Right To Work" Again
Early this (Saturday) morning, one of the most destructive sessions of the Indiana General Assembly came to a close. Republicans in control of the Statehouse attacked everyone from the Girl Scouts, to women, to the elderly, the unemployed and everyday working men and women. Most notably, against overwhelming public sentiment, they rammed through the so-called "right to work" bill in February.
However, as Winston Churchill said "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
From 1957 to 1964, Indiana had a so called "right to work" law that was implemented after a Republican takeover of the Statehouse. Much like what happened in 2012, in 1957 the bill was jammed through against the public's will and without any proof to backup proponents' claims of economic salvation. By 1964, working men and women had taken back the State Senate, the State House of Representatives and the Governor's Office and Indiana became the first state in the nation to repeal the union busting legislation.
Now, it's time to do it again.
Photo Caption: INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15, 1965 -- REPEALER PASSES SENATE -- The Indiana Senate today passed and sent the House Senate Bill No. 1 to repeal the state's 1957 right-to-worklaw. Senate President, Lt. Gov. Robert Rock, leans forward to talk with a clerk with the tally board as a background. The vote was 38-12.

Student Spotlight: Jessica Sapinski
Jessica Sapinski
Major: Culinary Arts, Baking and
Pastry Arts
In 2005, Jessica Sapinski's father suffered a stroke, and during the difficult time that followed, she began cooking meals for her sisters.
"I found it so therapeutic, and I decided to pursue a career in the culinary arts," she said. "I enjoy taking simple meals and experimenting with different flavors as well as presentation of food. Watching my father's health come back has kept me motivated to complete my degrees."
It wasn't easy pursuing two degrees, in Culinary Arts and in Baking and Pastry Arts, and she managed to hold two jobs while doing so.
"When I started the spring (2014) semester, I was going to school a total of three days, working at the bakery on my internship four days a week, and working a full-time job as a manager at Walgreens five days a week. I always liked to joke with people and explained if I added up the individual days -- three for school, four for the bakery and five for Walgreens -- that my week consisted of twelve days," she said. "Of course I was tired from being awake almost 20 hours a day and having to work 16- to 18-hour days, but I loved my jobs and going to school. It was a different kind of tired that I enjoyed because I knew I was putting in good days."
At College of DuPage, she found a school that allowed her to be anything she wanted.
"Looking back when I was taking my first baking class with Nancy Carey, it was intimidating because it was all new to me," she said. "Nancy Carey is an excellent baking teacher. I could never thank her enough for everything she showed me, and I continued to take all my baking and pastry classes with her."
While attending College of DuPage, Sapinski participated in three guest chef events held in the Culinary & Hospitality Center. She and three other culinary students helped to prepare a four-course meal for attending guests, and she worked one-on-one with each chef to prep, cook, plate and serve each course following a corresponding menu developed by the guest chef. One particular chef asked her to be on the front side of the line, where she was responsible for making sure the food looked perfect and to put the finishing touches on each plate. She was the last person to see the food before it went out to the guests.
In 2014, Sapinski finished her coursework at College of DuPage and was named one of the Outstanding Graduate finalists, graduating with high honors. She plans to enter COD's 3+1 program with Roosevelt University to complete her bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management and Tourism.
Her two ultimate goals are to be a head chef at a five-star restaurant and to open her own business, either a restaurant or a bakery. Sapinski thanks College of DuPage for providing the resources for her to succeed.
"The teachers in the culinary, baking and hospitality programs really inspired me and got my internal motivation going," she said. "I now know that I can go out into the world and accomplish anything I set my mind to. I love to express myself through food and making creative dishes for people. There is an overwhelming feeling of joy and accomplishment inside me when people get excited over the things I make.
"When I started, I was a lonely freshmen but now I have gained friends for life. I came to COD with an interest in food and fell in love with the school, staff and students. I would not trade my experience these last few years for anything in the world.
"For students going into the Culinary program, my advice would be to rise up to every challenge inside and outside of the classroom. Seize every option the Culinary program puts in front of you. This helped me grow as an individual and gain the confidence I needed to achieve my educational goals."

That was the bit I was forgetting.
As said elsewhere I generally use a MaxRequestsPerChild value of 1000 which
means that any extra memory allocated in your child processes will be

Getting Your Head in the Game
By Ross Greenstein
Editor's Note:
Ross Greenstein is President and CEO of Scholarship for Athletes, an independent organization that represents high school athletes and their families in the scholarship search and negotiation process. He is a graduate of the University of Florida where he played NCAA division one tennis and made the SEC all-academic team as well as a former Minnesota State Tennis Champion in High School. He can be contacted at
In tennis, how well you think on the court is of equal, if not greater, importance than your physical capabilities. Young athletes will learn this lesson the hard way on the circuit. What they fail to realize, however, is that the same kind of smart decision making and mental stamina that wins matches will be crucial in navigating the recruiting process towards finding the right scholarship opportunity.
What does all of that mean? Landing the right scholarship at the right school with the right opportunity to excel and showcase your game is more of a mental feat of endurance than ever. And the rules are more complex than anyone might think.
Weighing the Competition
With fierce competition from international athletes and heightened skill levels domestically, the recruiting process is becoming increasingly competitive. There is a very good chance that a high-ranking athlete can spend their freshman year on the bench. If they picked the wrong school, that is.
Take the class of 2007, for instance. Our research shows that even the top players in the country need to understand the depth of the competitive pool at their prospective school, or they can end up on the bench. Five out of the top 50, and ten of the top 100 girls from the class of 2007 were benched for the majority of their first season. Although they were highly ranked, and accordingly highly recruited, they did not select a school where they would have the opportunity to play immediately.
Of the top 50 ranked boys in the 2007 class, only three were not active in the starting lineup, #20, #40, and #41. While the #9 player went on to play first singles at Hawaii , ten players in the top 50 were playing 6th singles. None of the boys ranked #10-#50 were playing first singles for their team.
Student athletes need to conduct detailed research when considering schools. How good is the athlete compared to the players in their recruiting class? How good is the athlete compared to the players on the collegiate teams that they are pursuing? Without having the discipline to do find these answers, there is a good chance that an athlete can make the wrong decision and end up on the bench. And as they sit there, the players who are competing will continue to improve, making the gap between bench and starting lineup grow larger. Accordingly, it will be increasingly difficult for that athlete to have his or her shot in the lineup. In short, athletes should look at schools where they have strong chances of starting during their freshman year.
Broadening the Search
Just as critical as understanding the competitive field, is the notion of casting a wider net. Many student athletes create a list of the most well-known tennis programs without considering if that school would be a good fit for them academically or environmentally. In the process, they are neglecting schools that could be a great fit both on and off the court. There are more than 1,200 NCAA colleges at the D1, D2, and D3 level, and more than 500 Junior College and NAIA schools, all of which means more available scholarships for athletes who broaden their searches.
Student athletes who choose a school strictly on their athletic program will find that the tennis court is the ONLY place where that school is a good fit. On the same note, many student athletes will commit to a school because they like the coach, failing to recognize that coaching changes occur often in college sports. Choosing a college based strictly on the tennis team could be a fast track to a short and unsatisfying college experience.
Making a Game Plan
Tennis scholarships are like sports training. You have to have a plan with defined goals and stick to it. And it needs to start early. By senior year slots on college teams are already filled or filling. Athletes should start in their freshman year by short listing schools and sending a well-written letter of interest to each coach. The goal is to get on the radar of coaches and schools so that by their senior year, when a student is aggressively visiting schools, theyre already a known entity to many coaches. That all takes planning and commitment. It can be difficult, but non-biased expert help can be found: companies like Scholarship for Athletes help in letter preparation and in individually representing an athletes needs to coaches and their programs.
Importance of Location
By far, the most neglected element of school selection is location. More than other criteria, this can negatively affect a students collegiate experience. Theres a lot to consider. Where is the school located? Is it an easy commute from the athletes hometown? Is it important for the athletes family to come and watch their son or daughter compete? Is it easy to get to road matches or will that require extended driving or multiple flights? In terms of the competition schedule, where will an athlete be traveling and how often? Missed days due to competition travel will surely impact academic success.
When its time to consider a sports career at the collegiate level, all of these issues come into play. But with preparation, a network of informed sources, family support and the right mental attitude, an athlete can create a well informed, smart game plan that has an excellent chance of succeeding.

Over the last few decades, reinforcement learning and decision making have been the focus of an incredible wealth of research spanning a wide variety of fields including psychology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, operations research, control theory, animal and human neuroscience, economics and ethology. Key to many developments in the field has been interdisciplinary sharing of ideas and findings, yet there has been no single conference that brings all these communities together. The idea of RLDM is to become that conference.
The focus of the new meeting can be broadly construed as "decision making over time to achieve a goal". Our aim is to create a recurring meeting characterized by the multidisciplinarity of the presenters and attendees, with cross-disciplinary conversations and teaching and learning being central objectives along with the dissemination of novel theoretical and experimental results.

On Saturday, September 17, Skyview Drags hosted its 3rd Annual Junior Dragster Shootout, sponsored by Precision Crankworks located in Kirkwood, NY. Last year set the record for Junior Racers with 24 entrants. That record was shattered at this year's race when 31 Junior Dragster racers showed up at the track to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and awards.
The race, originally scheduled for August 6, was rained out and these young racers were forced to wait another 6 weeks for their chance to win the prestigious Skyview Shootout. This time, Mother Nature shined on the 8-18 year old racers who packed the track and they were gifted with a perfect day for racing. The Junior Dragster Shootout consists of 2 separate single elimination races with the winner of each race facing off against each other for the Shootout championship.
All of the racers were welcomed to the track by event coordinator Kathy Kiekel, who also acts as the Junior Dragster race announcer for the track. The Hancock family, who brought their 3 daughters to race, earned the $25 gift card for making the 200 mile trip from Northeast of Watertown, NY. Eight year old Hannah Garinger, from New Albany, PA earned her $25 gift card for being the youngest female entered into the Shootout. Nine year old Jack Caruso, from Canandaigua, NY earned his $25 gift card for being the youngest male entered into the Shootout. All rookie racers also received $10 gift cards from Precision Crankworks. Each racer also received a coupon for free ice cream courtesy of Pro class racer Gary Pascucci from Endicott, NY. Racers Taylor Blake and Morgan Bunal received $25 gift cards since the Shootout was their first time racing at Skyview Drags.
Race 1 began with two time trials for the contestants. For each round of racing, the racers are randomly paired by a draw of cards. Round one saw all 31 racers answer the call and in less than one hour, the field had been halved. For round two, only 15 racers were able to answer the call when Harley Hancock experienced technical issues with her dragster and was out for the rest of the race. Hancock received a $25 hard luck gift card for her unfortunate circumstances. By round four we were into the semi-finals with 2 young ladies and 2 gentlemen left in the field. Rookie racer Faith Peckham, from Oriskany Falls, NY was paired with Dunham Hall from Syracuse, NY. Peckham took home a $25 gift card for her semi-finalist spot. Cody Reome, from Blodgett Mills, NY was paired against Camrie Caruso from Canandaigua, NY. Caruso took home a $25 gift card for her semi-finalist spot. In the finals, Hall faced Reome for the right to race in the Shootout Championship race. With both cars staged, Reome was just a bit too quick on the starting line and fouled when he left too soon. Hall had a .5669 reaction time and ran a 7.939 Elapsed Time (ET) on his 7.92 dial to take the win. Reome took home a $100 savings bond and plaque for his runner-up efforts. Hall received a $200 savings bond and trophy for his win. Paige Montgomery from Rochester, NY won the $50 gift card for best winning reaction time from the entire race. She posted a .5009 (.5000 is perfect) in round 2 to capture her prize. Hannah Garinger won the $25 gift card for being the youngest racer to make it the farthest in this race.
Race 2 then began with one time trial for the contestants. For each round of racing, the racers continued to be randomly paired by a draw of cards. Round one saw 30 racers answer the call. Rookie racer Chelsea Hancock gave up her ride to her more experienced sister Harley, whose dragster broke in the first race. Chelsea Hancock received a $25 gift card for her great sportsmanship. In the quarterfinals, three of the eight racers who had made it this far in Race 1 were back again in Race 2. That earned Dunham Hall, Cody Reome and Faith Peckham each $25 gift cards for their great racing. By round 4 we were in to the semi-finals with 3 young ladies and 1 gentleman left to battle it out. Ron Klein from Liberty, NY, who is currently tied for first in the point's race at Skyview was paired against Abby Hacker from Bainbridge, NY. Hacker took home a $25 gift card for her semi-finalist spot. Faith Peckham drew Randi Teed from Friendsville, PA who is currently tied for first in the point's race at Skyview and will represent the track in the Junior Dragster Tournament of Champions race at the IHRA Bracket Finals this week. Teed took home a $25 gift card for her semi-finalist spot. In the finals, Peckham left first in her slower dialed dragster. Klein had the starting line advantage with a .5309 reaction time but he broke out when he ran an 8.996 ET on his 9.02 dial. Peckham ran a 9.051 ET on her 8.97 dial to take the win. Klein took home a $100 savings bond and plaque for his runner-up efforts. Peckham received a $200 savings bond and trophy for her efforts. Peckham also won the $50 gift card for Closest to Dial winner from the entire race. She recorded an 8.9129 ET on her 8.91 dial in Round 1 of this race. In addition, Peckham, an 11-year old rookie racer, also won the $25 gift card for being the youngest racer to make it the farthest in this race.
With the finals now set for the shootout, both Hall and Peckham declined to take their one time trial. Peckham would leave first with her slower dragster. She had a good .5949 reaction time but Dunham had the advantage with his .5277 reaction. At the top end, it came down to the dial in. Dunham ran a 7.995 on his 7.90 dial but Peckham ran a 9.070 on her 9.05 dial to take the championship.
Peckham took home a $500 savings bond and trophy for her win. Peckham also received a United States Bicentennial Silver Uncirculated set donate by Solid Gold Jewelry and an Apple iPad Tablet 2 form 64 GB, wifi and Verizon 3G donated by Precision Crankworks.
Hall took home a $200 savings bond and plaque for his runner-up efforts. Hall also received an Official Bicentennial Day Commemorative donated by Solid Gold Jewelry in Endicott, NY and an Xbox 360 250 GB Console with Kinect donated by Precision Crankworks.
In a random drawing for all racers who did not win a race, Paige Montgomery was the winner of an Xbox 360 DJ Hero 2 game donated by Skyview Drags.
