Exclusive Team Blog Interview with Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat, the new Internet sensation that's sweeping the globe faster than the Harlem Shake, is currently killing it as the star attraction at the annual South by Southwest Conference and Festival (SXSW) in Austin, TX. Interviews with His Grumpiness are hard to come by these days, but I recently had a chance to sit down with the legend — also known by his real name "Tard", short for "Tardar Sauce" — to ask him a few questions. The following is the transcript of our conversation.
Team Blog: So Grumpy Cat, let's start with an obvious question: Why are you so grumpy?
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: OK … coulda fooled me. Anyway, onto the next question. I work in the promotional products industry, or ad specialties, you know, products with logos that promote a company, product or service. Like T-shirts, pens and mugs. Got any favorite promotional products?
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: Alrighty then, appreciate the honesty. Now that you're a big Internet sensation, inspiring thousands of grumpy memes and rubbing elbows with celebrities, you must have some good stories, right?
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: I've been called worse. But anyway, there must be things you like, right? Got any favorite movies?
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: Awesome! Well, that's a start. Whaddya think about the new Star Wars Episode 7 currently in pre-production. Are you psyched?
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: Well, that makes one of us.
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: OK, I guess we should end here before your claws start doing the talking and I end up with cat-scratch fever or something, ha ha!
Grumpy Cat:
Team Blog: That was a joke … a bad one … sorry. Please don't hurt me.

Rozerem User Reviews
Rozerem - User Reviews
Rozerem User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Rozerem sorted by most helpful.
I could not tell I had taken anything to help me sleep. I was very disappointed. Due to some health problems, it is critical that I get a good night's sleep. I am already feeling the results after only 4-5 days of not getting the correct type of sleep, or sleep at all.
Didn't help me to fall asleep or stay asleep. Felt like sugar pill. No help whatsoever. Waste of my money.
This is a drug to take if you're nervous about taking sleep aids. I'm taking it because I actually went to a sleep Dr and he explained insomnia can be a chronic problem and may require long-term treatment. Since Rozerem can be taken long-term (without dependency or tolerance issues) it's the safest choice. I've been taking it for a few months (it took a week or so to work for me) and I fall asleep within 10 minutes! You have to give it time and not expect to be sedated... it will feel like "normal" sleep.
Related Reading: insomnia
It started working after about 4 weeks - but I have to be ready to go to sleep during it's window of opportunity...which for me is about 2 hours after I take it. I also stay asleep - and if I wake up - I don't stay up.
This med really helps me fall asleep every night. I take it at the same time every night and I've managed to get on a sleep schedule for the first time in a long time because of it. I still wake up during the night, but I can fall back asleep a lot easier than I used to. The only side effect I've had with it is that my dreams are much more vivid and life-like than ever before. It's like my dreams have gone from black & white to technicolor! This is not a medication that can be used once in while, it has to be used on a regular basis to be effective. I skipped a dose one night and couldn't sleep for 2 days! As long as I take it every night, I can sleep.
My doctor explained to me that I needed to take this medication every night for the first month to help reset my sleep/wake cycle. She didn't tell me this at first and when I went back saying it worked ok she explained it better. For those that expect a miracle in one or two days this is not for you. Trust me when I say it is worth the wait. You need to go to bed in a quiet enviroment which is what your body needs anyway to get a good nights rest. I still here my kids get up at night and get up to go to the bathroom when I need to. This is not meant to knock you out, just help you sleep.
I have had trouble sleeping for many years. My physician gave me samples of this drug and the first few days I could not tell that anything was different. After a week or so, it started working great! It still works great, but I am getting samples from my doctor because I cannot afford to buy it. I hope she continues to have enough samples until it goes generic (long time). I take it 30 minutes before time to go to bed as directed. I go to sleep easily. I do wake up once a night to use the bathroom, but I go right back to sleep. I wake up refreshed. No side effects, no drowsiness during the day. I think it's great, I just can't afford it.
My experience with Rozerem is that it calms down your mind, to state of being completely relaxed. It stops my Anxiety so I can actually get some sleep. It helps me a lot, since my Anxiety prevents me from sleeping. Generally when I wake up, I'm stuck in a groggy state until I have eaten.
Related Reading: Anxiety
This drug is the worst. I had much better luck with melatonin (and even better with ambien). Not only did rozerem give me hot sweats and extreme nightmares/paranoia, it sent me into a massive panic attack. After two nights of no sleep whatsoever, I wouldn't take this again if you paid me.
Comes on almost immediately, so I can't take it until just before I lay down. I have to take a lighter dose, but it works far, far better than Lunesta and similar

(Boston, 03/17/10) New England Law | Boston: A pharmaceutical company, seeking to cure a deadly disease, defines and carries out a research program that scientists agree has a reasonable expectation of success. After a major financial investment and years of effort, the research program yields a marketable product. Yet because of federal patent laws, the firm might not be able to profit from its discovery.
That's because of current patent law; for an invention to be patentable, its subject matter cannot be "obvious." According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the legal standard for obviousness requires a "reasonable expectation of success." Given the scenario above, the pharmaceutical product would likely be deemed obvious—and unpatentable—providing little incentive for the firm to invest in what had looked like a reasonable research program.
Julie Gottselig '10 explored this conundrum in a paper that won the 2009 Boston Patent Law Association Writing Competition. Gottselig reviewed the history leading up to the current obviousness standard and recommended what she believes to be a better alternative; she wrote the paper for Current Issues in Patent Law, taught by Professor Eileen Herlihy, codirector of the law school's Intellectual Property Institute.
Gottselig, who plans to be a patent attorney, questions the current standard, explaining, "I don't think it really makes sense because it suggests that only unreasonable or serendipitous research deserves a patent." She instead prefers an earlier standard that called for inventions to "logically have a high probability of success" rather than a "reasonable expectation of success" in order to be deemed obvious. "This would make more sense in terms of public policy by rewarding reasonable yet risky research with a patent incentive," she says.
Gottselig has more than a strictly academic interest in scientific research. After receiving her Ph.D. in neuroscience, she did postdoctoral work at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the University of Zurich. Gottselig passed the Patent Bar Exam in 2007 and is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

My Mac is my pen. The Web is my paper. My subjects? Anything people should care about. That's my story. Now let's talk about yours.
Every website tells a story
Every day most of us forge through countless pleas for a moment (or more) of our attention. We make snap judgments to weed out people or companies who don't at the moment seem relevant to us. Like the girl or guy with a brilliant mind but awkward social skills, a difficult to use or unappealing website tends to make us decide to keep on walking – especially if we can easily find elsewhere what we're seeking. That the website was the only unimpressive part of a business's outreach matters little if it's our first and last contact.
With my help, your site will tell the right one
I've developed websites professionally since 1998, for a wide range of companies and people. I became enamored of the Web while in college, when it was in its infancy. While I studied writing, rhetoric, persuasion, media law and other communication-related subjects, it became clear to me that the Web was the medium I'd use to employ those skills.
I've written and worked on many advertising, naming, branding, investor relations and message development projects independent of my web development expertise. This means that, when we work together, I will ask you for the contents of your brain (as related to our project), sift through it all, organize it and pull out the parts that best make your case with people who are important to you. People who should find you incredibly attractive and appreciate what you can deliver, of course.
Should we work together?
I have pages filled with details and examples you can use to better gauge whether we ought team up. Like what you read and see, and need a hand with an upcoming project? Awesome – please get in touch.

Seattle still wants to save the world
We hope you figured out long ago that the title of KPLU's "Can Seattle Save the World? (Poverty, Health and Chocolate)" event was tongue-firmly-in-cheek, but also meant to raise some important questions. There's a serious debate about the meaning and priority of "health" in "global health."
The event itself, last Tuesday, proved so popular that we moved it to a room three times larger than originally planned -- and nearly packed the room. Not to toot our horn too much, but immediate feedback was enthusiastic. "Do it again," was the most common response.
We'd love to. In the meantime, we are belatedly offering a replay -- video from the event.

Matt McCormick — whose video art piece, "The Great Northwest," is part of the "3" exhibit in the Schneider Museum of Art — will give a free lecture on the piece at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 22, in the Meese Auditorium of the Visual Arts building on the Southern Oregon University campus.
"The Great Northwest" is a multimedia piece that features a 70-minute documentary, photos and ephemera. The documentary was conceived after McCormick found an old scrapbook at a thrift store in Portland. The scrapbook documented a 3,200 mile roadtrip throughout the Pacific Northwest taken by four Seattle women in 1958. McCormick set off to re-create the journey as closely as possible in 2010.
The exhibit runs in the Schneider Museum through Saturday, May 31. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

Does anyone know which has more clearance between a WJ and ZJ? More specifically ones equipped with UC suspension? I was looking at a new Overland, and couldn't help noticing that they don't really seem to have much clearance....especially around the transfer case skid and crossmember, whereas a ZJ with UC actually looks like it has quite a bit of clearance. I mentioned this in DevoX's post that had pics of his new Overland.
I like the WJs, but the more I looked at them the more I think I'd miss my ZJ. Frankly, I think the ZJ looks more rugged, especially with the Laredo cladding. Aside from having a BB and 30" BFGs on my ZJ, it's stock, but to me it just looks more "Jeep" than the WJs. It's just the little things like the way those tow hooks up front on a ZJ look like fangs coming out to bite from the somewhat square bumper vs. the shiny chrome hooks peeking out from the nice round WJ bumper. Or maybe it's the way people ask if something is broken/hanging down from under my ZJ when referring to the trans. case skid. I guess the ZJs just aren't quite as refined as the WJ, but I guess that's what gives it that rugged look which is what I think of when I think of JEEP. Keep in mind I'm just comparing stock ZJ vs. stock WJ. Those with lifts and long-arms need not get uptight about my observation.
I'm not coming down on WJs, really. If I do get rid of the ZJ it most likely would be for a new WJ (I think), but does anyone else feel my pain? Or should I get a sticker on my Jeep saying "it's a ZJ owner since 11/92 thing.....you wouldn't understand."

Bluesman Bobcat Jack brings the blues to Hopi High

Veteran blues musician explains blues music to Hopi high students, but more than anything, lets his guitar do the talking
By Stan Bindell
POLACCA, Ariz.- Bobcat Jack introduced Hopi High School students to the blues last month, and they loved it.
Bobcat is ahead of the rest of the state and most of the country in reintroducing the blues to high school students. A recent Phoenix Blues Society newsletter ran an article from the Chicago Tribune explaining David "Honeyboy" Edwards' goal to reintroduce the Blues to students.
The newsletter also stated that the Phoenix Blues Society wants to resurrect a Blues in the Schools program.
Bobcat played an array of blues tunes from the classic "Stormy Monday" to one of his originals, "The Bobcat Blues." Bobcat's said the blues comes from the heart and his heart is with the two bobcats that he owns.
He also showed the students a guitar synthesizer. On this musical dream piece, he plays the guitar but it sounds like a piano or a violin or any other instrument one can think of. Bobcat explained to the students the blues is America's original music, created on the plantations before making its way to Chicago and beyond.
Sometimes he wailed on his guitar; other times he was a bit more mellow, but either way after he spoke a little about the history of the blues, Bobcat let the music do the talking.
Randi Lomayestewa, editor of the Hopi High Bruin Times newspaper, never heard the blues previously, but she was amazed.
"I've never seen a blues player in real life, only on TV, so I was happy to witness the performance," she said.
Lomayestewa liked Bobcat Jack's old blues quote "the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll."
Bobcat touched Lomayestewa's heart when he dedicated a song to her.
"I thought it was cool. I don't learn much about instruments and seeing that made me want to learn more," she said about the synthesizer.
Canicia Weston, sports editor for the Bruins Times, called the blues concert amazing.
"I really never listened to the blues carefully, but I did (at the concert) and it sounds pretty good," she said. "I liked his guitar solos and how he sang his songs."
Otivia "Big O" Puhuhefvaya, a broadcast radio student, said the blues performance was interesting and cool because Bobcat wailed on the guitar.
"I learned that the blues can rock," she said. "I liked when he did his solo guitar playing."
Christina Rucker, another broadcast radio student, said she liked it because "Bobcat can really play." She added that she learned that the blues is not made up of only sad songs.
"I like the blues a lot now," she said. "The performance would have been better if he played longer."
Rucker was amazed by the guitar synthesizer.
"That was so awesome because you can play different instruments and when he played the piano it sounded nice," she said.
Janaya Leslie, another broadcast radio student, like many of the others didn't like the blues previously, but said she likes it now.
Bobcat also hit it off with Xavier Sakeva, an award winning guitar student at Hopi High. Between his two performances, Bobcat let Sakeva play a song on his guitar. Sakeva, trained in classical songs, played The Russian Waltz. The two reached an agreement. Bobcat hopes to return in January or February. He told Sakeva that if he'll learn a blues song then Bobcat will learn a classical song and they could play the two tunes for the audience.
Bobcat has been playing the blues since the 1970s. He has played with blues greats Willie Dixon, Mighty Joe Young, Luther Allison, Son Seals and said he has a special friendship with blues legend Hound Dog Taylor.
Bobcat also developed a career as a singer/songwriter acoustic guitarist. He played with Leo Kotke, Michael Johnson and John Hartford.
In the 1980s, Bobcat moved to Europe to work on his jazz skills and rekindled his relationship with Luther Allison. He returned to the states in the 1990s. In 1994, he released his CD, "In the Moment."
Bobcat Jack, who also goes by the name J.W. Everitt, performs throughout Arizona with stops in Prescott, Cottonwood, the Phoenix area and Yuma. More information is available at www.bobcatjack.com.

The most important dependency by far is the Mono/.Net framework. If you need to support users that might not have that installed, the best solution is to embed the Mono runtime into a small launcher (example code).
Additionally, on Windows, you will typically need to install OpenAL drivers:
There is no such redistributable for OpenGL drivers - the user will have to install those on his own.
On Linux, users will typically have OpenAL and OpenGL pre-installed. If you generate distro-specific packages, then list AL/GL as dependencies and the package manager will take care of the rest. If you provide distro-agnostic packages, then you can either expect the user to have AL/GL preinstalled (which is quite reasonable) or you can bundle your own version of OpenAL (use the OpenAL Soft link, above). Most commercial games follow the distro-agnostic package approach. Many include libopenal.so, too.
Apart from those, OpenTK uses either core OS components which are always available (e.g. user32.dll or libX) or optional components with transparent fallbacks (e.g. libXi).
In any case, do try to fail smoothly if AudioContext or GraphicsContext construction fails. It is also a good idea to check the OpenGL version and bail out early if too low.

Obama Clarifies Rules for Programs Run by Faith-Based Groups
President Barack Obama signed an executive order today making clear that religious organizations that receive federal money may maintain their religious character, but may not include explicitly religious activity as part of any taxpayer-funded program.
The order doesn't change the basic rules about who qualifies for funding. Instead it tries to balance the desire to drive federal dollars to faith-based groups while clarifying some of the constitutional questions that have surrounded the program ever since former President George W. Bush touted religious charities as a new way for government to deliver social services.
The order is silent on a key question: whether groups getting federal money can discriminate on the basis of religion in their hiring of staff. As a presidential candidate, Mr. Obama said he would no longer allow taxpayer-funded groups to consider religion in hiring. After taking office, he said he'd allow the Justice Department to decide this on a case-by-case basis. The order does not change that.
The order says that any religious activity must be offered at a separate time and place from the taxpayer-funded content, and that the religious part must be voluntary. It requires that the government offer alternatives if a beneficiary objects to the religious character of an organization offering services. And it clarifies that decisions about funding must be "free from political interference" or the appearance of interference.
At the same time, the order makes clear that organizations receiving federal money do not have to remove religious art or icons from their facilities, that they can retain religious names and choose board members on a religious basis.
The order was praised by many religious organizations for increasing transparency around who gets funding and about what the rules are for groups that receive it.
"It's putting more of an onus on the religious institutions to be careful in implementing the restrictions that come with the funding," said Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and a member of the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
But it was criticized by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which said it does not take necessary steps to correct "significant constitutional problems."
"I'm disappointed," the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United, said in a statement. "This leaves much of George W. Bush's faith-based initiative in place. That's not the change many Americans hoped for when President Obama took office."
Mr. Lynn said he was particularly frustrated that Mr. Obama did not ban hiring based on religion. "That's the 800-pound gorilla in the room," he said. "No American should be denied a government-funded job because he or she holds the 'wrong' views about religion."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- A mid-Michigan family is shaking up the movie theater popcorn scene.
The Grand Rapids Press reports that 22-year-old Mount Pleasant college student Justin Kovitz and his father, Ray Kovitz, have spent the past year developing and selling a plastic lid that snaps over the rim of a popcorn bucket.
With a few shakes, moviegoers can evenly distribute butter or toppings over their popcorn. They call it Shake N' Share.
The lid is made at Display Pack in Grand Rapids. The Kovitzs have sold about 220,000 units and have invested more than $150,000 in the venture. They project to hit 1 million units sold by the end of the year.
The lid is now available at theaters in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, California and Washington

U.K. Debates Fizz, U.K. Economy Doesn't
Thursday night saw round two of the U.K.'s first televised election debate series.
The Prime Ministerial contenders wrestled combatively with such crucial issues as their personal reactions to a State visit from the Pope, and whether or not the demands of climate change mandate public money for the insulation of private homes. The best choice of nuclear weapon with which to deter unknown, future evil empires was also thrashed out. Again.
We don't want Her Majesty's subjects menaced by dictators while they beaver away to pay off all the debt accumulated in their name, do we? Global capital markets, eyeing London with only slightly more forbearance than they can muster towards Athens, must have been profoundly relieved to have our heroes' thoughts on all these subjects.
But, as usual, hard economics were at a premium. Bad television at the best of times; electoral poison now. Only one of the three, current Downing Street resident Gordon Brown, will have had advance sight of the latest GDP figures, released to us all Friday morning. Now we know that the U.K.'s agonizing trek out of recession continues, but at a snail's pace that seems scant reward for the biggest stimulus package, relative to GDP, unleashed anywhere.
According to the best preliminary guess by official bean counters, the economy expanded at a hardly-rampant 0.2% in the first three months of 2010, below even the fairly miserable 0.4% the markets had hoped for. [Read our coverage here.]
There was one bright spot–a perkier industrial showing than had been expected–suggesting, perhaps, that a weaker pound is providing at least some of the long-promised export boost to U.K. manufacturers (it's certainly supporting inflation).
But, still, this is not the sort of growth the country is going to need to impress anyone. It also rounds off the final week of key economic numbers before May 6's vote puts us all out of our misery. A week that had painted a worrying picture. Inflation remains stickily high; unemployment does too. Growth, while at least apparent, is pretty hopeless and no one outside the ruling party would seriously suggest it has 'traction'.
There seems scant hope that Gordon, Nick and Dave will use the third and final debate to get to real grips with this economic reality, even though that's the official subject of the debate; they'll probably stick with the Pope and the loft insulation for as long as they can.
What is said immediately after an election will matter far more to the markets than anything now likely before.

This campground is best suited for tents and small RV's. There is cell phone coverage throughout the park. There is a dump station but black tank flushes are not possible because there is no fitting at the end of the hose - good planning Parks Canada. The rate quoted is with the $8 discount per day with the annual Parks Canada Discovery pass. - driftdiver1

Most of the sites are better for tents than trailers, and are dark due to the density of the woods that they are carved into. We were able to scout out a few nice more open sites (so I could use my Solar panels) and enjoyed our stay. The showers and bathrooms were clean and plentiful. - robvann

The previous review from 2014 is still accurate. This dry camping campground is on the south side of Gros Morne National Park. While we were here the water was shut off for 2 days, so I can't comment on the bathhouse. There are flush toilets and showers available. The gray water disposal at each site is very convenient. The sites are nicely spaced, and the area surrounding the sites was well keep. The two shelters are still available, the free sewer dump at the campground entrance, fresh water was not working, don't know if this was because of the water problem in the campground. The trails are very nice, the 3 tent sites available on the water are wonderful if you can get one. Very quiet and relaxing here. We would stay here again. - Living the Dream
Jul 2016 - $19.00
This is an unserviced campground between the park entrance and the tablelands area. Sites are large and mostly level (all are back-in), with moderate privacy. Picnic tables, fire pits, central water taps and free showers are available, but no hookups or Wi-Fi. Cell reception (Telus) was almost unusable. Price was $18.60 CDN plus day pass (or annual pass); bring exact change because the park is self-registration; the attendant never showed up the whole time that I was there. There are 3 hiking trails in the area, plus quaint fishing villages a short drive away. - Neil C.
Aug 2014 - $16.00
This campground is about equidistant from Wiltondale and the charming town of Woody Point. It is an unserviced Parks Canada campground with 30 sites including 3 waterfront tent sites. All sites have a picnic table and firepit. Weak cell phone coverage is available. The dump station (with black tank flush hose) and filling of fresh water tank are at the entrance to the campground, which is 4 km away from the sites. However, most sites have a grey tank disposal, so if you are staying for a long period you do not have to make the 8km return trek to the dump station. There are two covered shelters with washrooms, dish washing sinks, and wood stoves. They even provide dish soap and a dish rack. Only one of the shelters has electric lights (which turn off at 11pm due to being powered by a generator), hot water, and free hot showers. There are non-threaded water spigots throughout the campground. Wood ($) is available. Sites are available only on a first-come basis, but seldom is this campground full. And even if it is, ask about setting up in the circle - you will not be disappointed! There is a boat launch. CC are accepted. There is self-registration if no attendant is present. The lovely Stanleyville trail begins in the campground and two other trails are close by. The rate shown is with an annual Parks Canada Discovery pass which gives an $8 discount per night. The closest grocery store is in Deer Lake, so shop accordingly for fresh meat and produce. - driftdiver1

WOW!!! The best view in the park. We had great water view and Wi-Fi was great. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The washrooms are large and clean and sewer on site.The owners are very nice I am not sure why the previous poster complained that the owners would not let them in their house, well DUH! We stayed three nights. Best rates in the park. - 2011montana
Aug 2015 - $35.00
This campground is all about the view and little else. The campground is on land next to their B&B. They just put gravel along the side yard and slotted in several sites. Since wifi is so important to many of us: this was completely lacking. The camping area is so small and so close to the house, there is no reason that service was so bad, except that it is grossly inadequate. Owner blamed people streaming.... Not possible; we couldn't even get a signal. Owner would not let us into his living room to get reception. He said that was for the guests. What are we ? Trailer trash. Walking distance to grocery store and restaurants. - Scrst

The community of Cow Head is an area worth at least a week-long stay. We spent two weeks here and enjoyed the Gros Morne Theatre Festival a couple of times, the local restaurants, the beautiful trails on the adjacent peninsula, as well as the attractions of Gros Morne National Park. The B&B/RV Park is very well managed and features eight large level gravel sites with full hookups (30-amp). The Wi-Fi was excellent. On reasonably clear days we were even able to access DirecTV with our rooftop dish. The view from the campground is an added bonus. The rate we paid was a weekly rate in Canadian dollars. - seeyajohn

This park is at the end of a long, winding highway, which big rigs may wish to avoid. (Especially the sharp turn onto Highway 431 near Woody Point!) Sites are back-in, with good privacy, picnic tables and fire pits. Washrooms seemed clean. There are no hookups or cell reception, but the free Wi-Fi did work for me; it's available in the "public kitchen" area, but does not extend throughout the campground. It's a short drive back to Trout River, where there is a gas station, laundromat and restaurant (but no cell reception there either).
Price was $18.60 CDN, plus day pass or annual pass. - Neil C.
Jul 2015 - $20.00
It's well worth the twisty, hilly roads to get to this park which is surrounded by lovely views in every direction. The gravel loop was easy to navigate in our 37' MH, but we are glad we made a reservations because they had only one site big enough for us. The site was lovely: grassy with a gravel pad, picnic table, fire ring, and private with tall evergreens all around. Plan ahead for boondocking, as there are no hookups and the potable water faucet at the bathhouse ran very slowly when we tried to fill our tank. Though we had to ask them to turn the WiFi back on a couple of times (they shut it down to conserve power), it was otherwise very reliable and quite speedy. Bathrooms were simple and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and felt it was an outstanding value at this price. - DaveInOhio

Talk about a campground that has nothing - this is it. No water or electric sites, not even a dump station on site. There is no phone service with any carrier. The closest place to get cell phone reception is 20 km away at the Discovery Centre. The campground does have a kitchen shelter that supposedly has WiFi, but during my 4 day stay I never met anyone who could connect. There are 2 electric outlets in the kitchen shelter but they are powered by a generator that is turned on only from 8:30 pm to 11pm. Have you ever tried washing dishes in a sink with faucets that require you to hold them open constantly or take a shower where you have to push it on every 3 to 5 seconds ? - just more fun experiences that await you at this campground. And do not even think about camping here if your RV is over 28 feet long, except in site #44, which can accommodate somewhat larger rigs. While sites are generally quite private they have very narrow entries. There are no trails within the campground and nothing is within walking distance of the campground. Unlike most national parks where there are advantages to camping within the park, there are no such advantages here - the closest trails are 10 to 15 km away, with the Discovery Centre being 20 km away. Typically I love camping in Canada's national parks; but this is the worst national park campground I have ever stayed in. If you want to spend time exploring the southern part of Gros Morne, my suggestion would be that you commute from Rocky Harbour or stay at The Water's Edge campground in Shoal Brook or one of the two campgrounds in Lomond, which are located on rte 431. BTW the Trout River Pond tour boat is no longer operating. - driftdiver1

OK place. An open parking lot in a industrial area nothing close by. No water view. Large dust bowl. - 2011montana
Sep 2015 - $24.00
We chose this park as our base for exploring the National Park and surrounding area. There are many sites in the park for all sizes and types of RVs and tents. Many sites in the trees would be too small or tight for a big rig. There's a large pull through area which is used by caravan groups. We chose #13 in the front section, a back-in, level, gravel site. Wifi was sporadic at times. Reservations are probably a must during the busy season. - DiplomatTraveler
Jul 2015 - $31.00
The RV section of this park is a big gravel parking lot with easy access for big rigs. Although some of their pull-thru sites are larger, our back-in spot felt pretty close on all sides for a 37' MH. The water, 30 amp, and sewer connections were very convenient. Free WiFi was fairly reliable, but throughput was quite slow. The cold-water-only laundry was reasonably priced. We felt it was a pretty good value for the amenities offered at this price. - DaveInOhio

I would rate this campground mediocre, as it is basically a parking lot, but I also don't think there is much more to choose from. For a KOA I would say it is poor. Staff at arrival were not friendly and I felt pushed through as they seemed in a hurry and as far as amenities the surroundings did not encourage sitting outside to enjoy, as there was nothing to enjoy. - Arlene T
Jul 2016 - $36.00
$36 CDN for a large, level, private back-in site with 30-amp electric, water, picnic table and fire pit. Other site configurations are available, including full hookups. Interior gravel roads were well maintained. The grounds, my site and the washrooms were very clean. The free Wi-Fi was useless (even though the signal strength was very good); 63% packet loss meant that nothing worked, even in the late morning when most of the overnight campers had already left. I got very good Telus cell reception at my site. The office staff were friendly, but put me in a site that already had another camper in it... apparently someone was told to move into that site, but the staff didn't update the computer, so it thought the site was empty.
As seems typical with KOA, it's MUCH pricier than other options (especially compared with $18.60 for sites in the national park), but when you need hookups, it's the only option. - Neil C.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay here. Family run park with Level back-in sites right on Bonne Bay, beautiful views. Good wi-fi is available, the 2 wash rooms are keep clean, and with hot water. The father and son team here are very nice and accommodating. This is a basic campground, with no frills, it is right on Rte 431, but the traffic really didn't bother us. There is a boil water warning in the area so bring drinking water with you. No sewer or dump station, come with empty tanks. But with that said, this would be our place to stay when in the area. - Living the Dream
Jul 2015 - $28.00
Nice little park - excellent waterfront location - watched whales feeding from our camper window right in the bay! Used a 20A site - GFI kept popping during heavy rainstorm... Water is under a "boil" order. Use the dump station in the GMNP about 10 miles before you reach the park. Owners JUST installed satellite internet during our stay - WiFi good near the office, marginal away from building, but they were trying to correct that. Sites quite close to the road, but minimal traffic at night so no issue with noise. Would certainly stay here again. - Loggenrock
Aug 2008 - $20.00
Your best choice for visiting the southern part of Gros Morne National Park. Water's Edge is only $20/night. The National Park Campgrounds are $25.40 plus $7.80 per person daily entrance fee (per person) for nothing except a place to camp buried in dense trees and bugs. All of Water's Edge sites are 20 feet from the waters edge with a beautiful view of the south arm of Bonne Bay. Back your trailer in and your back window is overlooking the water, pull your motor home in and your front window has the same view. There is some highway noise as the campsites are about 50 feet from the highway, but the highway does not have a lot of traffic. There are 3 or 4 tent sites on a grassy area for $15 as well. No dump station though. Wi-Fi available at library in town. - A-S_Travels

This one is off-grid, literally. They have their own onsite generator. Most sites for the transient visitor are only 15 amp, a household plug, no ability to reset the breaker yourself if you overload it, which does not take much. To make do with so little power one needs to be knowledgeable on power management.
Wi-Fi offered is unreliable to nonexistent. There is no cell service in the area.
One area is open lot car park style camping. Another wooded loop needs a good dose of the pruner to cut back roof destroying branches.
For the rate one would expect much better.
What it does have is location being less than a mile from the entrance to Gros Morne NP. - Veebyes
Jul 2010 - $23.00
Just a few miles off Viking Trail 430 and before the road turns, twists, and hills on the way to Trout River and Woody Point; active crowd with music in the lodge bar on weekends; several sites are for weekend campers; snack bar on location is very handy; clean washrooms and laundry; salmon fishing; most sites almost level, sites near road not level. Would camp here again. - cruiser2010

The Food Network Turns 20
Now that the Food Network has hit the 20-year mark, what do the next two decades hold in store?
Network fave Giada De Laurentiis has one idea: "Food soap operas!" she said with unbridled enthusiasm. (And for the record, she'd kill for a starring role in such a culinary drama.)
De Laurentiis volunteered the comment during the network's 20th birthday party, held last week at a Midtown Manhattan pier along the Hudson River. It was the kind of over-the-top, star-studded affair that invited such irreverent musings. Not only were most of the network's stars in attendance, they were also partying with abandon. In one corner of the elongated event space, you'd find Aaron Sanchez and Sunny Anderson dancing together to a DJ's funky grooves. In another, you'd find Ming Tsai ordering a shot of tequila at one of the several bars. And somewhere in the middle of it all, there was Guy Fieri posing for one picture after another with friends and fans. (By contrast, the normally ebullient Emeril Lagasse seemed downright reserved.)
In many ways, the event was not just a party, but also a mini museum, with exhibits tracing the history of the network from its earliest days, when the focus was on culinary education, to its glitzy and glamorous present. Some of the guiding executives and stars from the network's formative years were on hand, including the gourmet-centric Sara Moulton, whose "Cooking Live" program was once a mainstay. And while Moulton admitted the network's celebrity-minded and reality show-focused approach of recent years was not her thing, she conceded that it's what the public clearly wants. "I think the network reflects all TV," she said. (For a full account of the network and its evolution, it's worth reading Allen Salkin's excellent, informative new tome, "From Scratch: Inside the Food Network.")
Of course, last week's party wasn't just about putting the network's history in perspective. It was also about, well, food. Recognizing the level of culinary savvy in the room, the network didn't hold back, offering one station after another with creative edibles of all kinds, from pickled haricots verts to hand-pulled Asian noodles to kimchee grilled cheese. Oh, and don't forget the strips of bacon smothered in maple syrup. (As one attendee remarked about that particular item: "I'll have another. And by another, I mean seven.")
Still, the question remains: Where is the network headed in its next 20 years? It's an important and timely issue in light of recent controversies that celebrity chefs have faced – most notably, the Paula Deen debacle. (And as might be expected, the diva of Southern cooking was absent from Thursday's bash, though the network didn't entirely shy away from its association with her – in fact, it had a Deen portrait featured in an exhibit alongside everyone from Rachael Ray to Jeff Mauro.)
In a pre-party interview, Food Network chief executive Brooke Johnson suggested that the network still has a way to go and a sizable audience to continue wooing. As proof, she pointed to the rise of food programs on other cable and broadcast networks, from Bravo to ABC.
"It was nice when we were the only ones in town," Johnson said.

The Continuing Threshold Test for Free Exercise Claims
Andy G. Olree
Faulkner University - Jones School of Law
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
When a claimant challenges some governmental law or action under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, courts have long required the claimant to make out a prima facie case that the government has burdened the exercise of the claimant's sincerely held religious beliefs. This requirement has been referred to as the threshold test for free exercise claims, since claimants must make this showing as a threshold matter before courts will proceed to evaluate the burden and the governmental interest at stake under some standard of scrutiny. This Article argues that, while the U.S. Supreme Court has recently adopted a more deferential standard of scrutiny for many types of free exercise claims, the Court has never signaled dissatisfaction with the threshold test itself, and indeed could not abandon the test without being unfaithful to the text of the Free Exercise Clause. Moreover, the Article proposes that the Court's most recent free exercise case, Locke v. Davey, can be understood as a rejection of the claimant's challenge for failure to satisfy the threshold test. So understood, Davey signals little change in free exercise law and poses no new obstacle to claimants in future free exercise challenges involving governmental funding programs of various sorts.

Diastat Dosage
Generic name: DIAZEPAM 10mg in 2mL
Dosage form: rectal gel
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. ALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist.
(see also Patient/Caregiver Package Insert)
This section is intended primarily for the prescriber; however, the prescriber should also be aware of the dosing information and directions for use provided in the patient package insert.
A decision to prescribe Diazepam rectal gel involves more than the diagnosis and the selection of the correct dose for the patient.
First, the prescriber must be convinced from historical reports and/or personal observations that the patient exhibits the characteristic identifiable seizure cluster that can be distinguished from the patient¹s usual seizure activity by the caregiver who will be responsible for administering Diazepam rectal gel.
Second, because Diazepam rectal gel is only intended for adjunctive use, the prescriber must ensure that the patient is receiving an optimal regimen of standard anti-epileptic drug treatment and is, nevertheless, continuing to experience these characteristic episodes.
Third, because a non-health professional will be obliged to identify episodes suitable for treatment, make the decision to administer treatment upon that identification, administer the drug, monitor the patient, and assess the adequacy of the response to treatment, a major component of the prescribing process involves the necessary instruction of this individual.
Fourth, the prescriber and caregiver must have a common understanding of what is and is not an episode of seizures that is appropriate for treatment, the timing of administration in relation to the onset of the episode, the mechanics of administering the drug, how and what to observe following administration, and what would constitute an outcome requiring immediate and direct medical attention.
Calculating Prescribed Dose
The Diazepam rectal gel dose should be individualized for maximum beneficial effect. The recommended dose of Diazepam rectal gel is 0.2-0.5 mg/kg depending on age. See the dosing table for specific recommendations.
|Age (years)
|Recommended Dose
|2 through 5
|0.5 mg/kg
|6 through 11
|0.3 mg/kg
|12 and older
|0.2 mg/kg
Because Diazepam rectal gel is provided as unit doses of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, and 20 mg, the prescribed dose is obtained by rounding upward to the next available dose. The following table provides acceptable weight ranges for each dose and age category, such that patients will receive between 90% and 180% of the calculated recommended dose. The safety of this strategy has been established in clinical trials.
|2-5 Years
|6-11 years
|12+ Years
|0.5 mg/kg
|0.3 mg/kg
|0.2 mg/kg
|6 to 10
|10 to 16
|14 to 25
|11 to 15
|17 to 25
|26 to 37
|16 to 20
|26 to 33
|38 to 50
|21 to 25
|34 to 41
|51 to 62
|26 to 30
|42 to 50
|63 to 75
|31 to 35
|51 to 58
|76 to 87
|36 to 44
|59 to 74
|88 to 111
The rectal delivery system includes a plastic applicator with a flexible, molded tip available in two lengths. The Diastat® AcuDial™ 10-mg syringe is available with a 4.4 cm tip and the Diastat® AcuDial™ 20 mg syringe is available with a 6.0 cm tip. Diastat® 2.5 mg is also available with a 4.4cm tip.
In elderly and debilitated patients, it is recommended that the dosage be adjusted downward to reduce the likelihood of ataxia or oversedation.
The prescribed dose of Diazepam rectal gel should be adjusted by the physician periodically to reflect changes in the patient¹s age or weight.

We've noticed a ditch along Rossanley Drive, near its intersection with Cheshire Drive, has had stagnant water and trash floating in it for some time now. It looks like a health hazard. Whose responsibility is it to clean it up?
— Mary J., Central Point
It sounds like the ditch is doing a fine job of fulfilling its job description, Mary.
"A ditch is supposed to collect water," said Gary Leaming, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Leaming said the rain storms that pushed through the area a few weeks ago might have some ditches fuller than normal, and the standing water will become unhealthy should someone decide to take a dip.
"There shouldn't be any concern over mosquitoes this time of year," Leaming said.
The trash floating in the ditch is, unfortunately, a fact of life along most highways throughout the state, Leaming said.
"Every highway and road has trash along side it," Leaming said. "We do our best with clean-up crews that collect trash, but drivers do litter."
One recourse residents have is to join ODOT's "Adopt-a-Highway" program. The agency provides volunteers with bright vests, signs and bags if they want to spend a portion of their weekend cleaning up along the highways, Leaming said.
If you're concerned about this particular ditch, Mary, you can phone ODOT and ask that a clean-up crew make a pass through he area. They will try to make it that way when possible.

The Senior Honors Research program was established in 1930 and was the first such program in a Virginia college or university. The program is intended to encourage students to conduct independent research at a level well beyond the ordinary demands of a classroom course. The results of a student's successful completion of the program are increased learning in a subject area of special interest, improvements in the student's abilities to conduct academic research and to write about the work, the presentation of a substantial paper on that research, the addition of that paper to the Library's permanent collection, and an enhancement of his or her application to graduate school or for immediate post-graduation employment. Students who successfully complete the program are publicly recognized at graduation for their exceptional academic achievement.
To be eligible to register for Senior Honors Research, a student must have:
A student may NOT be registered for Senior Honors Research during the same semester in which he or she is registered for student teaching or for more than nine credit hours in an internship program. However, at the discretion of the Senior Honors Research (SHR) Committee, a student's two Senior Honors Research semesters may surround a semester of student teaching or such internship.
A student who wishes to undertake a Senior Honors Research project must begin planning and working early. In fact, a Senior Honors Research student is expected to do substantial preliminary work prior to the first semester of formal registration. The first phase of this preliminary work is the development of a proposal for SHR. The proposal is a research design developed by the student with the guidance of the faculty sponsor, and is a written description of what the research project is to be about, why the research would be significant, and how it is to be conducted.
When the proposal is finished to the satisfaction of the faculty sponsor, the student contacts the chair of the SHR Committee to declare his or her intentions to participate in the program. If appropriate, the chair then schedules a meeting of the full Committee. A copy of the proposal is provided to each member of the SHR Committee not less than three days prior to the meeting.
During this meeting, the student orally presents the proposal and discusses the project with the Committee. The Committee then decides whether to approve the student's participation in the program. If approval is given, the student registers for 3 semester hours SHR credit for the initial semester.
If the student's work during the initial semester is satisfactory in the judgment of the faculty sponsor, the student may continue in the program for the second semester.
The student should complete the research and the written thesis which describes the work by approximately mid-term of the second semester. If the faculty sponsor judges the student's work to that point to be of at least "A-" quality, arrangements are made for the student to orally defend the work before a special examining committee, the membership of which is suggested by the student and sponsor and approved by the SHR Committee.
The examination committee's judgment is communicated to the full SHR Committee. The SHR Committee receives the report of the defense and formally decides whether the student is to be graduated "with Senior Honors Research recognition."
If the student's work is thus approved by the full SHR Committee, copies of the final paper are sent to the Longwood Library for inclusion in its permanent collection.
The following summaries indicate the responsibilities of various Senior Honors Research program participants.
Responsibilities of the Student
2. Choose (with the approval of the sponsor) a research topic.
3. Prepare a written research proposal for submission to the SHR Committee.
The proposal should include identification of the student, of the faculty sponsor, and of the academic discipline(s) involved; a statement of the guiding hypothesis; a summary of the reasons for and the significance of the hypothesis; a brief description of the research method or approach to be followed; a summary of the more prominent resources (or at least the types of resources) to be used and where they are located; and the names of at least three credentialed scholars in the field who are reasonably expected to be voting members of the examining committee. (At least two of the members shall be from the Longwood faculty, and usually the third member is not on the Longwood faculty.) Proposals usually need not exceed five pages.
A suggested outline for SHR proposals can be found at the end of this file.
4. Contact the chair of the SHR Committee and request the scheduling of a meeting of the Committee.
5. The proposal may be submitted electronically to the chair of the SHR Committee, who then distributes the file to each of the other members. Such electronic submission shall be made no later than five days prior to the presentation meeting. Alternatively, one paper copy of the proposal shall be provided to each member of the SHR Committee no later than three days prior to the presentation meeting.
6. Meet with the full SHR Committee, orally present the proposal, and participate in the Committee's discussion of it. (The faculty sponsor is expected to be present at this meeting. The chair of the sponsoring Department may also attend.)
7. If the proposal is approved by the Committee, register for SHR credit ("498" in the relevant discipline).
8. Conduct research according to the approved proposal, perhaps as amended. (In the case of initial registration during the fall semester, research should be begun during the preceding summer. In the case of initial registration during the spring semester, research should be begun during the preceding fall.) Make progress reports to the sponsor on a regular basis. Prepare for an evaluation by the faculty sponsor at the end of the first semester of enrollment as to whether the project should continue into the second semester. (A grade of at least "A-" for the first semester's work is required for continuation of the SHR project into the second semester.)
9. Complete the project. Prepare drafts of the thesis and, with the sponsor's approval, prepare to orally defend the work and the thesis reporting it before a special examining committee.
10. If the examining committee and the full SHR Committee approve the work and the thesis for Senior Honors Research recognition at graduation, make any required corrections or additions to the written thesis and provide two copies to the Director of the Library for inclusion in the Library's permanent collection.
The following timetable specifies the deadlines by which the student should complete certain tasks:
a) Application and Registration:
Ordinarily, application (to include the presentation at a SHR Committee meeting) to the SHR Committee for permission to participate in the program should be made not later than Monday of the last full week of classes of the semester prior to that in which initial formal registration is anticipated. (Lead time is needed in which to schedule the meeting and to circulate the proposal to all members of the SHR Committee members. Therefore, contact with the chair of the Committee needs to be made by Monday of the next-to-the-last week of the semester's classes.)
Most SHR students register for the program during the Fall and Spring semesters of their Senior years. Therefore, to facilitate their beginning serious research during their pre-Senior summers, this application process ordinarily occurs during the Junior spring.
However, a student's application to participate in the SHR program may, at the Committee's discretion, be considered as late as the "Course Add" deadline of the student's penultimate semester on campus (i.e., ordinarily the first semester of formal SHR registration). A student whose application is, for whatever reason, delayed is cautioned that the "Course Add" deadline is the deadline for actual registration. Therefore, the student must provide adequate lead time for the SHR Committee members to review the proposal, to arrange to meet with the student, to so meet and to consider, and to communicate (if appropriate) with the Registrar. In addition, a student whose project has not been approved by the SHR Committee prior to the start of the first semester of intended SHR registration is further cautioned that he or she will be expected by the Committee to demonstrate that substantial preliminary work on the project - beyond that implicit in merely developing the proposal - has already been carried out.
Students who anticipate making such a relatively late application for acceptance into the SHR program may wish to make a timely registration for Independent Study credit. If the application for SHR is accepted by the SHR Committee, the Independent Study registration can be converted to SHR registration any time before the "Course Add" deadline of the penultimate semester on campus.
Students whose applications are accepted by the SHR Committee shall register for "[Discipline] 498" (3 semester hours credit).
b) Continuation after the first semester:
No earlier than the last week of classes and no later than the Reading Day of the first semester of enrollment in SHR, the faculty sponsor and the student shall decide whether the project is to be continued as a Senior Honors Research project in a subsequent semester. If both the student and the sponsor agree that the project may be so continued, the student must register for "[Discipline] 499" (3 semester hours) by the "Course Add" deadline for the final semester of SHR participation.
c) Completion of the project:
i) Suggested: No later than the end of the first month of the second semester of participation, complete all research.
ii) Suggested: No later than the middle of the second month of the final semester of participation, complete a rough draft of the thesis.
iii) Suggested: No later than the mid-term of the final semester of participation, complete the final draft of the thesis.
iv) If the faculty sponsor concludes that the grade for "499" would be at least "A-," no later than Friday of the sixth week preceding graduation, copies of the thesis should be distributed to members of the examining committee.
v) No later than Friday of the fifth week prior to graduation, the student will orally defend the work and the thesis reporting it before the examining committee.
vi) No later than the last weekday prior to graduation, if the student's work has been approved for SHR recognition by the SHR Committee, the student will provide two final copies of the thesis to the Director of the Library.
d) Withdrawal from the Senior Honors Research Program:
Students who are enrolled in either "498" or "499" may formally cancel their registration and participation in the same manner as they would cancel registration in any other course. Students who complete the first semester of SHR with a passing grade but who do not complete the second semester will still receive three semester hours credit for "498." Students who complete the second, or "499," semester with a passing grade but who do not receive "Senior Honors Research recognition" would still receive the additional three semester hours credit for "499."
Students who leave the SHR program prior to completion of "499" must notify (whether directly or through the faculty sponsor) the chair of the SHR Committee of that fact.
Responsibilities of the Faculty Sponsor
Responsibilities of the SHR Committee
Responsibilities of Examination Committee Chair
1. With the assistance of the faculty sponsor, arranges for the convening of the examination committee not later than Friday of the sixth week prior to graduation.
2. Presides over the examination meeting as a non-voting member, and has the privilege of deciding who if anyone other than the student, the faculty sponsor, and the members of the committee may attend the examination committee meeting or any portion of it.
3. Upon the completion of the defense, obtains - in the absence of the student, the faculty sponsor, and any other non-members of the committee - the majority vote of the committee as to whether it will recommend to the SHR Committee that the student be accorded Senior Honors Research recognition.
4. Notifies the student and the sponsor of the examination committee's vote and recommendation.
5. Notifies the chair of the SHR Committee of the fact of the completion of the defense meeting and of the examination committee's recommendation.
6. Reports to the full SHR Committee, in a summary form, on the substance of the defense meeting and of the examination committee's recommendation.
Suggested Content of Proposals for Senior Honors Research
Proposals for participation in the Senior Honors Research Program should include all of the following:
I. Name of student, of academic discipline involved, and of faculty sponsor
II. Date of submission

The best part of this excursion was taking the night sailing. We took the boat from the wharf at sunset. It was beautiful. We went out to the shipwreck with all the other boats. Not impressed with the shipwreck or the coral/fish.
The beach was beautiful. Our driver was late picking us up. It was expensive to rent a chair and umbrella. Drink prices were comparable to those on the ship.
Informative of the island and culture. The ferry ride back was nice.
Cancelled due to lack of participation.

Former Argentinian soccer star Diego Maradona has issued something of an apology to British fans for the infamous "Hand of God" goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals. Maradona knocked in the first goal of Argentina's 2-1 win with his hand, an act that went unnoticed by the referee. He went many years without admitting that it was, in fact, a handball.
Maradona has since said he did it because the English goalkeeper was very tall and he couldn't get his head on it. He also called the tipped goal "something that just came out of me. It was a bit of mischief." A bit of mischief??! Huge understatement.
Nevertheless, he was quoted in a London tabloid last week as saying, "If I could apologize and go back and change history I would." However, he shortly thereafter said that the paper changed his words and what he actually said was, "A long time has passed since that and that history can't be rewound."
It is unfortunate that Maradona, who is highly regarded as one of the best soccer players of all timesecond only to Pelewill likely be remembered in such a controversial, negative way.
Dax Crum has been playing basketball for Southern Utah University for three years. He is averaging six minutes per game for the Thunderbirds and is doing so with only one hand.
Crum was born with just one small finger on his right hand and has been playing basketball with one hand his whole life. He chose to walk on at Southern Utah in basketball instead of accepting a soccer scholarship and worked three jobs to pay for school until this semester.
Recently, he played a career-high 16 minutes, made a 3-pointer and shut down Missouri-Kansas City leading scorer Dane Brumagin.
Just those 16 minutes against UMKC were worth it all to me, he said.
Good luck to Dax Crum in the rest of his inspirational athletic career.

PROVIDENCE � New England�s six governors are committing to pursuing measures aimed at bringing cleaner, more reliable and cheaper energy to the region, according to Governor Chafee�s office.
Chafee was among the state leaders Thursday to electronically sign a joint energy agreement establishing strategies to diversify New England�s energy resources.
The goals include expanding natural gas pipelines and building electrical transmission lines to bring in hydropower from Canada as well as wind energy from northern Maine, according to Marion Gold, Rhode Island�s energy commissioner.
Bringing more natural gas to the region will force hydropower costs down, Gold said. Wind energy from Maine, too, is being offered at below market prices, or less than 8 cents per kilowatt hour, she said.
�The purpose is to get out in front,� Gold said.
Lowering energy costs will make the region more attractive to businesses, she said. Electrical costs currently are lower in Pennsylvania and New York, giving those states an economic advantage.
�We�re worried about the economy and we want to keep our electricity prices down,� Gold said.
In addition to Chafee, participants included Governors Dannel P. Malloy, Connecticut; Paul LePage, Maine; Deval L. Patrick, Massachusetts; Margaret Wood Hassan, New Hampshire; and Peter Shumlin, Vermont.

Why Washington Won't Bail Out Detroit — The City
Facing copious problems of its own, here's one Congress doesn't plan to tackle: Detroit.
Democrats and Republicans said Friday there was little appetite to bail out Detroit, a day after the embattled city filed for bankruptcy.
"We've got enough problems of our own right now," said Rep. Jim McDermott (D., Wash.), noting that Congress is knee-deep in trying to figure out its own finances.

The federal government's deficit was $509.83 billion in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the Treasury Department said last week, and the parties are nowhere near reaching a resolution to fund the government for the next fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 or to avoid the next round of spending cuts known as the sequester. "It's hard to think about taking on another problem," Mr. McDermott said.
Federal government bailouts are intensely unpopular among many lawmakers, with the memory still strong of public outrage over the government's decision to take control of banking companies and mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the financial crisis.
Republicans said Friday that pouring more money into Detroit would do little to help the problem.
"Detroit is a shining example in the American economy of what not to do," said Rep. Cory Gardner (R., Colo.) "I don't think throwing money at any problem that is self-created is a solution."
GOP lawmakers also worried about what kind of example it would set to bail out the city, whose bankruptcy filing is expected to unleash a fierce fight among more than 100,000 creditors over who will get paid—and how much.
"The precedent that would set would be horrendous," House Budget Committee Vice Chairman Tom Price (R., Ga.) said of a federal bailout of the city.
Even lawmakers from Michigan were not quite ready to advocate a bailout. "The problems are immense," Rep. Sandy Levin (D., Mich.) said on Friday. "We just need to step back and think about it.
Detroit, of course, is synonymous with the auto industry. During the 2012 presidential campaign, President Barack Obama boasted that GM and Chrysler bailouts were sucesses, and that he "refused to let Detroit go bankrupt."

I have a very complicated network transfer problem:
I have a 20mbps / 2mbps internet connection. modem is connected to a linux
router, then there's a WiFi router
and on the end my PC.
For testing i've used http and ftp connections, [url]http://noc.gts.pl/100mb.gts[/url]
When i download this file on the linux router i hjave 2.2MB/s, when i
download it from
the router through WiFi onto my PC i have ~3MB/s
But when i connect directly to the website i have only 0.8MB/s
i've tried also downloading onto the router from I-net and downloading from
the router onto my PC
and i still had max speeds (2.2MB/s and ~3MB/s) so Hardware is no the limit.
tc qdisc show gives me this:
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 [Unknown qdisc, optlen=20]
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth1 [Unknown qdisc, optlen=20]
and IPtables are clean:
Any ideas whats wrong?! I've also tried connecting:
Without linux router (modem to WiFi router)
Without WiFi router (UTP cable)
And i still didn't get my 20mbps.
By the process of elimination i think that the ISP is somehow limiting
traffic to PCs behind router...
How can this be fixed?
Best regards

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The Federal Emergency Management Agency has disbursed more than $2.5 million to state and local governments since Superstorm Sandy.
FEMA's Charleston branch chief Gary Brand said Monday that covers 64 projects. But FEMA will likely dole out $13 million altogether, with another 180 projects.
Sandy dumped more than 2 feet of snow in the highest elevations, toppling trees and tearing down power lines in October.
With more than 1.5 million cubic yards of debris on the ground, Brand calls it the largest debris mission in state history.
State officials don't track damage to private property, so it's unclear how many homes and businesses were affected.
Eighteen counties were eligible for federal assistance to repair or replace public property such as buildings, roads and bridges, and parks.
Individual assistance wasn't approved.

The SSC2005 Conference will be opened by The Honourable Marsha Thomson, Minister, Information and Communication Technology and Consumer Affairs, Victoria.
The conference organising committee invites you to participate in the Spatial Sciences Institute biennial conference, SSC2005, in Melbourne.
The theme of the SSC 2005 conference is Spatial Intelligence, Innovation and Praxis and aims to demonstrate initiatives in the spatial industry and to provide a forum for ongoing discussions relating to their applicability to the community.
Spatial Intelligence, Innovation and Praxis addresses many challenges faced by society:
- our relationship with the environment;
- meeting the demanding challenges of equitable service delivery to all within our society;
- public/business/government interfaces;
- government – local/state/federal – how to accommodate and develop all interests;
- the migration of theory to practice; and
- standardisation and the successful integration of spatial information into the decision making process.
The conference will focus on how spatial intelligence can be utilised to assist in delivering opportunity to the citizen and government and commercial sectors. It will provide real world examples of how the spatial community is successfully meeting the challenges through policy, technology and innovation.
In keeping with SSI philosophy, the conference offers the opportunity for the spatial community to actively participate in all conference aspects – workshops, presentations, site visits, exhibitions and networking.
