The first trend: women want a jacket that works both on and off the bike. "We're offering colors that allow women to jump off their bike and go to a restaurant and not look like they're riding a motorcycle," says Mike Salvatore, apparel merchandising manager for Tucker Rocky's FirstGear brand. FirstGear (booth 101) has a new cropped leather jacket called the Betty that comes in soft pink, soft blue and ivory with orange piping. "The ideal jacket has all the function built into it, without being able to tell it does." See related article Super G Launches
Parts Unlimited's Icon (booth 1936) line is going after the same market with its flashy styles. "A lot of passengers are women with their husbands or boyfriends where it may be their first time on a motorcycle. They're wearing whatever leather fashion jacket they have," says Brenda Trumbo, sales and marketing manager for Icon V-twin. "We want those girls to have the designer look they're used to having from department stores, but with all the protection." Icon's introducing a new mesh jacket for 2007 in true Icon fashion decorated with glitter stars.
Versatility in apparel also means the garments can cross the lines of the different motorcycling genres. "With our denim products we've seen them cut across all different motorcycle segments," says Richard Kimes, national marketing manager with Helmet House (booth 3001). "Cruiser people really like them, and a lot of sportbike people are buying them as a secondary ride around town jacket because they're just plain comfortable off the bike." Kimes is hoping Helmet House's new women's Cortech DSX Denim jacket will be just as big a hit with women as the men's denim jacket was with male riders when it was introduced a year ago.
Another trend allows a woman to outfit herself in gear entirely from one manufacturer. In the past, the limited availability of riding apparel forced women to wear a jacket from one company, pants from another and gloves form yet another. "The future for women in motorcycling is giving them complete head to toe coverage so they have their helmet, the jacket, chaps or pants, boots and gloves. We're giving that to women with the Icon line.
The Dirt
Girlyz (booth 5615) is the only company making women's gear exclusively for motocross and ATV riding. The 5-year-old company continues to make improvements to its jerseys and pants and at Dealer Expo, the Vision race line was being modeled by Gloria Fontenot, a motocross rider and stuntwoman. The pants feature an improved knee area so it works with knee braces better. New leather on the inside of the knees grips the bike better. Refinements to the jersey include a slimmer fit and a lined V-neckline — all meant to improve fit and comfort for the active women motocross rider.
For women who watch on the sidelines but still want to feel like part of the "in" crowd, Dirty Girls launched their new Dirty Girl jacket, hat and boy beater tanks at Dealer Expo. Check them out at booth 5615.

La Salle University was among the colleges named a top producer of Fulbright Scholars in 2013-14, according to the United States Department of State. The success of the top-producing institutions is highlighted in the October 28 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Three students from La Salle won Fulbright Scholarships in 2013-2014, which ranked among the most Fulbright recipients. A fourth Fulbright recipient in 2013-14 was a 2009 La Salle University graduate who is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Since 1965, more than 60 students from La Salle have received Fulbright Scholarships.
"We are always proud when one of our students receive a Fulbright Scholarship, but to have this many in one year shows the academic strength of our students and the commitment made by faculty sponsors," said Dr. Joseph Marbach, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at La Salle.
More than 1,800 U.S. students, artists, and young professionals in more than 100 different fields of study have been offered Fulbright Program grants to study, teach English, and conduct research in over 140 countries throughout the world beginning this fall. Lists of Fulbright recipients are available at: www.fulbrightonline.org/us.
The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the United States Congress to the Department of State. Participating governments and host institutions, corporations, and foundations in foreign countries and in the United States also provide direct and indirect support. The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, composed of 12 educational and public leaders appointed by the President of the United States, formulates policies for the administration of the Fulbright Program, establishes criteria for the selection of candidates, and approves candidates nominated for awards.
La Salle University was established in 1863 through the legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Christian Brothers teaching order, which St. La Salle founded in 1680. La Salle is an educational community shaped by traditional Catholic and Lasallian values.

Growers Hold Stocks in Anticipation of Better Prices
Natural rubber prices have stayed short of the psychological mark of Rs 200 per kg this year mirroring the sluggish sentiment in the global market. However, the short-term outlook seems bullish.
Tapping has been consistent in the last two months and production has seen a spurt. But it is expected to slow down towards the end of this month as cold weather recedes. Till December 2011, production has risen 4.3% at 6,79,100 tonne. But traders say the market is still short of rubber as growers hold stocks in anticipation of better prices.

|Tranformation Potential Predictions for the Stress Induced Austenite to Martensite Transformation in Steel
|September 28, 2009
|The stress induced transformation behavior of retained austenite is considered in this work. With the development of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels this deformation mode is of growing importance. Twinned martensite structures were calculated using the crystallographic theory of martensite (CTM). An available work criterion was used to predict the transformation potentials for sixteen di erent in plane stress states for sheet sample geometry. By rotating the twinned martensite structures over all crystallographic orientations using Euler angles, the magnitude of the transformation potential was plotted as an orientation distribution plot for comparison with typical texture components. From these data, the brass and copper orientation components that are typical in retained austenite such as in TRIP steels were found to have low transformation potential values. Grains aligned with these orientations would require higher stresses to transform than other orientations, and may therefore never transform. This correlates to experimental observations that heavily deformed TRIP steel contains residual retained austenite.

A church bus traveling from New York City, carrying children to Mount Lawn Camp in Bushkill, overheated at about 12:30 p.m. Friday halfway up Sugar Mountain Road, just before Van Why Lane. The steep, curvy road was closed while the Bushkill Fire Department, state police and National Park Service worked to assure that the bus was removed from the road and the passengers were accounted for. The incident happened less than a mile from the camp. Vans were sent to retrieve the children, and a tow truck was being arranged for the bus.

BOSTON -- Both Will Middlebrooks and David Ross are back in the Red Sox lineup on Thursday, just two days after they endured a scary collision in foul territory.
Middlebrooks is still dealing with some soreness on his right side, but he said he's good to go.
"It's still pretty sore, pretty tender. I got a nice little bruise on my ribs," he said. "I thought I got hit by a truck. I've got to pick the biggest guy on the team to pick on? But it was actually the wall that got me the best. But I'm fine, good enough to play."
Asked if it bothered him while swinging, Middlebrooks joked, "It's a little sore, but the way I've been swinging lately, I don't think it's going to get much worse."
"Just want to get out there and maybe this will turn some things around for me," he added.
Middlebrooks is hitting .192 on the season.
With Jarrod Saltalamacchia catching 489 pitches over the last three days, Ross is getting a rare start against a right-handed pitcher. While Ross' power this season has come against lefties, he's been more consistent against righties, with five hits and four walks in 20 plate appearances.

It's election day, so be sure and go vote your convictions at the polls.
From the standpoint of science the new Congress, faced with a large deficit, may very well make cuts that dig deep into scientific programs, suspend federal funding for stem cell research and scuttle a flight of space shuttle Atlantis next summer.
For anyone interested in more reason and less rabble-rousing, election season with its hyper-partisanship can be a bit depressing. Doubly so when the prospects for science are likely to become a bit dimmer.
So I take some hope from the following video recently released by country music star Brad Paisley, who gets points in my book for marrying that cute girl from Father of the Bride.
The song provides a nice message to a broad cross-section of America that science and technology are not only a general good to be embraced but also essential to succeeding in the global future.
It will also remind you why America, hyper-partisan elections and all, is the best country in the world.

Hidden from history
By Ann Elias
It was early in 1939 when William Dakin, Chair of Zoology at the University of Sydney, was approached by publisher and patron of the arts, Sydney Ure Smith. World conflict was looming and Ure Smith wanted to discuss the subject of camouflage with an expert in animal concealment and deception. His particular concern was how to bring modern art and design to the service of home defence. What evolved from their meeting was the formation of the Sydney Camouflage Group, and when war was declared later that year, its members, comprising artists, designers and scientists, were already embarked on a campaign to camouflage Australia.
Among the group was University architect Leslie Wilkinson and a wide representation of leading modernists including Frank Hinder, Max Dupain and Robert Curtis. They called themselves "camoufleurs" and persuaded Prime Minister Robert Menzies they possessed superior knowledge of camouflage for Australian conditions. Dakin was promoted to the role of director for all military operations to work in consultation with artists and advise army, air force and navy on methods and design.
To say the military found his appointment controversial is an understatement; it led to a war inside the war. Camoufleurs were civilians working for, but not part of, the armed forces and they looked highly conspicuous in civilian clothing on military sites. In the context of macho military culture their role was further undermined by the perceived effeminacy of their title and by a prevailing view that camouflage was a passive approach to warfare. Before long, the clash between civilian and military authorities became public and it was left to Eric Ashby, Professor of Botany at the University, to argue in the Sydney Morning Herald, "camouflage is still regarded in some quarters as a hobby rather than as an instrument of war".
Sydney University became a hub of research and Dakin's professorial offices were converted into the NSW Directorate of Camouflage. Female students were taught the art of weaving camouflage nets, and lecture theatres were filled with air force personnel learning the physics of shadows. The University's sandstone and redbrick buildings served as backdrops for experiments with camouflage colours, and Dakin, with the help of Hinder, Curtis and Dupain, researched and wrote a book, The Art of Camouflage, which was issued as a secret document for the armed forces in 1942. University staff moulded themselves to wartime culture. Frank Hinder was struck by how it affected Camilla Wedgwood, the Principal of the Women's College. She was a pacifist who early in the war attempted to dissuade her students from making camouflage nets; by the end of the war she was a colonel in the army.
Focussing on protection
Before 1942 camoufleurs concentrated on civil camouflage for the eastern states in preparation for a potential Japanese attack. William Dobell, for example, worked as a labourer, disguising Sydney's airfields as market gardens and building papier-mâché animal decoys. Max Dupain planted fake gum trees around bomber hideouts designed to look like innocent houses and shops. But the field of camouflage was not foreign to artists: as with cubism, modern design, and trompe l'oeil painting, camouflage was a problem of space, light and colour. The aim was to conceal facts in a broader visual background.
When the war moved into the South-West Pacific, research focused on how to protect soldiers in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Max Dupain and Bob Curtis volunteered for deployment to the island of Goodenough in Papua to operate a camouflage station. Their mission was to persuade troops to use Skintone Commando Cream and turn their pink European skin black, and to wear green uniforms instead of the louder khaki. In peacetime Papua New Guinea was the heart of the western artist's dream of surreal, primitive Oceania. But in wartime, Goodenough Island meant malaria and sickness, monstrous insects, and the psychological disintegration known as "going troppo". If Dupain felt initial enthusiasm at the idea of transferring to Papua New Guinea, it was drastically altered by the experience. He wrote: "I dearly wanted to return to the studio and start a civilised life again. The unstable wartime years, the grudging adaptation to ever-changing surroundings, the thousands of impressions both good and bad of varying environments, all added up to long-term shock."
The story of Australia's WW2 camoufleurs has received scant recognition, half-hidden by greater interest in the heroic work of official war artists. Camoufleurs were part of the production of war, not the act of making art for commemoration, remembrance, or protest. Their day-to-day war labour therefore could be seen as antithetical to modern art's essential anti-war position. But once war descended on Australia there was little choice but for everyone to contribute. Ideological, psychological and moral positions on art and war were suppressed as individuals transformed themselves into servants of the war enterprise. For six years the camoufleurs of WW2 tried to juggle the demands of war and studio, and for the most part their history has – like the objects they disguised – been obscured from view.

Tishomingo County Schools Superintendent Benny McClung is retiring June 30.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported that McClung replaced Malcolm Kuykendall as superintendent in July of 2012. McClung had served as a teacher, coach and principal in the Tishomingo County School District.
McClung said in a statement that he has spent 36 years in education with 24 of those years in Tishomingo County schools.
After having positions in Tishomingo County, McClung served as principal of Saltillo Elementary School, then assistant superintendent of Lafayette County Schools.
He went on to other education roles with the state and the University of Mississippi, before returning to take the superintendent's position two years ago.

The Complete Unedited 1992 Phish MTV Interview
MTV Interview
H.O.R.D.E. Tour
As the Phish Hampton reunion draws near and the scene falls apart before it even starts up again, I've been a little nostalgic for the simpler days of Phish.
In timely fashion, a post on PhishPosters.com led me to this great old MTV interview. It's 18 minutes of unedited Q&A with Trey and Mike from the 1992 H.O.R.D.E. festival that has somehow eluded me all these years.
One of my favorite parts comes early in the first segment when each of them takes a stab at describing the band's sound, something I'm always hard-pressed to do well.
Trey calls it "a mixture of loud and soft," to which Mike amusingly retorts, "it hones in the medium." He quickly adds, "it's a cross between rock, jazz, punk, Latin, Broadway, and bluegrass" which seems accurate if not a bit narrow.
And stick around for the second and third segments too. Trey and Mike talk about building a following, wax philosophical about keeping things fresh, and consider why fans become "obsessed" with the band.
It's an incredible job. To be able to travel around… and jam and play music that we've never heard before because it's all spontaneous… and have some people be blown away by it.
Mike Gordon
Overall the interview is a great encapsulation of the band's first 9 years, with some classic Phish undertones — from Mike's ridiculous shirt to the synchro beer swilling and leg crossing.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Highland Park ISD approves new high school GPA policy
Starting next school year, students at Highland Park High School will be ranked using a new grade point average policy.
After months of fielding parents' concerns, the Highland Park ISD board of trustees voted to approve a new policy that will allow students to exclude certain courses from their GPA. They gave the official nod at Tuesday night's board of trustees meeting.
Here are the highlights:
- Juniors and seniors can choose to take an athletics/P.E., varsity cheer or Belles dance courses as a GPA-exempt class for up to two credits total. Two credits is equivalent to four one-semester courses or two two-semester courses. A numerical grade will appear on a student's transcript, but will not be used to calculate his or her GPA.
- Juniors in the fine arts or in journalism can choose to take a course as GPA-exempt for the third year of participation, so long as they have GPAs at or above 4.0 on their three-semester transcript. (An honors course option, which is already available for a students' fourth year of participation, will remain the same.)
- Students must declare their intent to take a course as GPA-exempt by the first day of instruction.
- The new policy begins in the fall of 2012 and is not retroactive.
The changes come after several parents raised concerns about the current policy. They said it was dragging down the GPAs of high-achieving students who participated in athletics and the fine arts. Only the top 10 percent of students are ranked at Highland Park High School, but those rankings determine automatic admission to state universities.
When the high school calculates GPA, an "A" in an honors and advanced placement course is given a greater weight of 4.5 or 5.0, respectively. An "A" in an athletics or fine arts courses, however, is worth 4.0. That means that a high-achieving student with straight "A's" could have a lower GPA, if he or she participated in sports or arts classes.
Members of the board of trustees said the policy change is meant to even the playing field, as they continue to study other districts' GPA policies.

Florida vs. California: Battle of the Avocado
When I arrived in Birmingham a few days ago, I was greeted with a fridge full of fruits and veggies, thoughtfully stocked by my kind mother. Among the fresh produce she chose was an avocado—but this was no ordinary avocado. It was big, green, smooth-skinned, and donned a label with the words "Slim-cado." Being the nutrition nerd that I am, I decided to do a little research to determine how these strange avocados differed from the ones I buy week in and week out.
As it turns out, I am accustomed to buying California avocados, but this other type is actually a Florida avocado. According to an article by the Nutrition Diva, Florida and California avocados differ in terms of their taste and nutrition. California avocados boast a distinctively creamier taste, along with a larger Calorie price tag—about 50 Calories per ounce. Florida avocados, however, are less buttery with a reasonable 33 Calories per ounce. This difference in Calories is the reason behind the "Slim-cado" labeling. The two varieties also can be distinguished by appearance in that California avocados are generally smaller and darker-skinned than their Floridian counterparts.
I tried the Florida avocado today in my lunch (see below), and it was alright once I added a bit of salt on it. However, I much prefer the luscious buttery flavor of the California variety.
Have you ever tried a "Slim-cado?" Do you even like avocado? What's your favorite avocado-centric recipe?
Rewind to this morning!
I made sure to prepare a hearty breakfast this morning in anticipation of a long travel day. Given my past experience with air travel, I was a little anxious about what kind of headaches the day would bring…
As per usual, I packed a lunch to enjoy amidst my travels. Due to some annoying flight delays, I was not able to enjoy this meal until well into the afternoon. Delta airlines, you suck.
With limited fresh ingredients in the apartment and even more limited energy, I decided to rely on Annie's for dinner.
Good night, all!

BEVERLY HILLS - Actress Amanda Bynes pleaded not guilty today to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs stemming from an April 6 collision in which her BMW allegedly struck a sheriff's patrol car in West Hollywood.
Bynes' attorney entered the plea on her behalf because she was not required to appear in Beverly Hills Superior Court, and a July 18 pretrial hearing was set.
The DUI charge includes the allegation that Bynes refused a peace officer's request to submit to a chemical test.
Bynes was taken into custody about 3 a.m. April 6 after the black BMW she was driving struck a sheriff's patrol car at the intersection of Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards, sheriff's Lt. William Nash said.
The patrol car was stopped while northbound on Robertson Boulevard, preparing to turn right onto Santa Monica Boulevard, when Bynes allegedly attempted to pass to the right, according to Nash.
She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, the lieutenant said, and released later that morning.
The Thousand Oaks native starred in the TV series "What I Like About You" from 2002 to 2006, and in Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" (1999-2002). She has also appeared on the big screen in such movies as "What A Girl Wants" (2003) and "Easy A" (2010).
After she was charged Tuesday, Bynes wrote a message on her Twitter page to President Barack Obama, saying, "I don't drink.

2008 News Releases
Longwood receives grant for environmentally friendly project
July 24, 2008
Longwood University has received a $75,000 grant for a shoreline erosion control project that will serve as a demonstration model for environmentally friendly practices.
The grant from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, will enable the completion of a "living shoreline" project at Hull Springs Farm (HSF), an education and research site owned and managed by Longwood on the Northern Neck. The project, initiated through a $40,500 NOAA grant in 2005, will control erosion while also preserving or restoring shoreline habitat that supports shorebirds, juvenile fish, tidal marsh, submerged aquatic vegetation, and other plant and wildlife species.
The work will include the installation of a sill about 26 feet from the eroding bank to reduce wave action – sills are low-elevation, shore-parallel stone structures installed channelward – and the creation of a tidal fringe marsh by placing 750 cubic yards of sand and stone between the sill and toe of the bank, then planting 4,800 plugs of marsh grasses. The work began in early July and will conclude in early August with the marsh grass planting.
"Living shoreline techniques offer a biologically sensitive alternative to bulkheads and other 'shore hardening' structures, which are expensive, temporary and damaging to shoreline habitat," said Katie Register, HSF's program director and executive director of Clean Virginia Waterways (CVW).
Hull Springs Farm, bequeathed to Longwood in 1999 by Mary Farley Ames Lee, a 1938 Longwood alumna, consists of 643 acres in the Mt. Holly section of Westmoreland County. The farm has about 8,400 feet of shoreline along Glebe and Aimes creeks, some of which is subject to extensive erosion from Nor'easters and tropical storms. The work is taking place at a highly erodable shoreline on a point of land between the two tidal creeks, which are tributaries of the nearby Potomac River.
"In the past, fewer 'soft' shoreline stabilization alternatives were available, and landowners often weren't aware of the need for improved shoreline management practices," Register said. "Thus, many landowners relied upon traditional techniques such as bulkheads and riprap revetments. In recent years, a growing number of landowners are investigating living shoreline protection alternatives and retrofitting previously hardened shorelines by creating fringe marshes in front of existing structures."
The recent grant, part of NOAA's Living Shoreline Grant Program, also involves the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment. The earlier grant was used to assess how living shoreline techniques could be used to control erosion. The living shoreline project is being supervised by Register and Bobbie Burton, HSF's executive director.
The design for the project was developed by Bayshore Design of Kinsale, and the work is being done by Earth Resources of Lancaster with support from Robert H. Gawen IV and Sons of Hague. The work is proceeding according to the plans approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Westmoreland County Wetlands Board. Volunteers will be recruited to assist with the planting of the marsh grasses on Aug. 8-9. Anyone wishing to volunteer for the marsh grass planting should call (804) 472-2621 and leave contact information.
"Longwood's work at Hull Springs Farm represents an ongoing effort to establish an education, research and demonstration center for best management practices for sustainability in the areas of forestry, agriculture, wetlands, habitat and shoreline protection," Burton said. "The Farm is rich with habitats unique to the tidal reaches of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, including wetland, riparian (streamside), agricultural and forest habitats in addition to a freshwater pond."
The project has involved the expertise of other partners, including the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at the College of William and Mary, Virginia Commonwealth University, the Northern Neck Soil and Water Conservation District, the Northern Neck Planning District Commission, shoreline expert David Burke of Burke Environmental Associates, CVW, and community volunteers.
In a related effort, two Longwood biology professors, Dr. Tom Akre and Dr. Mark Fink, and undergraduate research assistants, most notably Douglas Horchler, spent 27 days at Hull Springs Farm during the summer of 2007 collecting data as part of a longterm research project examining the effectiveness of the planned sill/fringe marsh management technique in maintaining and/or restoring the aquatic biotic community.

Hi All,
I just wanted to send out a warning to anyone buying off of hyenacart to make sure that you are in fact ordering what you think you are. As crummy as it sounds, there are sellers out there who have deceptive listings in order to sell diapers at a high mark up.
I bought some diapers from a seller on hyenacart on Black Friday which are not specifically listed as being WAHM or any particular brand. I assumed they were WAHM (my mistake), but when I ordered them learned they were Baby Land. She has these diapers listed for $8.50-$9.50 plus shipping. A quick search on ebay shows you can buy Baby Land diapers as low as like $3 each. I'm now stuck with China diapers I had never intended buying. In her defense, she has offered me a refund minus shipping IF I ship them back. At that point I'd still be out half of my total cost.
Just wanted to send out a buyer beware PSA. If you want to check on a seller you can check their store's feedback at the top of the page.

Italian Ferrari has been banned for life by the US Anti-Doping Agency while Armstrong was stripped of seven Tour de France titles following a USADA investigation.
"I never saw any doping practice from Lance Armstrong," Ferrari told Al Jazeera. "I can say I never saw or heard something about that. He never asked me for information about doping.
"There are six riders that accused me but these riders, I didn't have any relationship or any consulting with these guys."
Former US Postal Service team members Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, Michael Barry, Levi Leipheimer, Christian Vande Velde and George Hincapie all testified against Ferrari but the doctor maintains he is the victim of a conspiracy.
"What I can say about the USADA investigation is that there is no evidence, in particular no evidence against me," Ferrari added.
"I can say also there is no evidence, no smoking gun about the accusations. Probably I can suppose that for some of these athletes, the federal investigation was able to demonstrate their doping practice, which they organised by themselves, and to save themselves, they agreed with the USADA conspirations [sic]."
Two other riders, Michele Scarponi and Giovanni Visconti, were on the receiving end of bans this week after having consulted with Ferrari, but again the doctor refused to admit his guilt.
He said his role in their cases consisted of "advising athletes of the best way to train and proposing alternatives – perfectly legal alternatives – to the use of doping."
He also revealed that he is looking into having his ban rescinded.
"We're considering the possibility of initiating legal action in the United States against the USADA dossier and the life ban," he said.
Armstrong was also given a life ban, despite having never returned a positive sample during his career, leading Ferrari to believe the controversial star was clean.
"The test could have been a smoking gun but it never happened," he said. "So, either he was clean – and in my opinion, he was clean and he says he was clean – or the tests are not powerful.
"Or the UCI was corrupt."

That's the reason the search firm started the leadership consulting practice two-and-a-half years ago that has already grown into a $50-million business globally. In India, the leadership consulting business started six months ago. "Organisations will not keep recruiting people in a downturn, but they will continue to train, develop and assess people to have the best people in a downturn," he says. But there's more to this strategy as organisations globally grapple with the challenge of getting the right talent, Kelly tells Saumya Bhattacharya . Excerpts from an interview:

This one is so good I am back for an encore. My group dusted off my copy and went at it with a vengeance. Since we have all played Traders of Genoa and Puerto Rico several times, we had 2 like games to compare DH with. Hands down, this is a winner. It has some of the elements of PR (role selection, though only one but with a farther reaching impact) and the intense negotiations of T of G. What we really enjoyed was the deal making (and back-stabbing). Of course, bidding 'fer the wagons' produces significan angst. But afterwards, bartering for the right (privilege?) of shipping goods, well, here is where the amusement begins. Not only can one make monetary offerings, but one could also agree to ship in consideration for a vote on a price increase for a commodity - or to toss a '3' chip for wagon number X or agree to move wagon Y briskly towards Paris...there are no limits, really (just time to avoid AP)
The fine balancing act between profits, guild dues and social ladder-climbing also keeps everyone's attention. And DH is a game where it is easily possible to overtake an early leader (of course, with the money tokens in the bag, sight unseen, who knows who is really leading and who may be saving up for a rainy day) - yes, the status board is fully visible, but it costs to hobnob with the upper crust.
In short, Die Handler is an absolute winner and in my opinion, should occupy proudly a space on any gamer's shelf next to PR and T of G.
Pity the English-speaking nations that couldnt grasp this intelligent game. Either they have something against wood or they have something against sophisticated games. Or maybe they couldnt foot the price tag. But this one is well worth the price of import.
My favourite aspect of Die Handler (and underemphasized among reviews) is the power struggle for wagon control. There is a constant power struggle over everything in the game, but it plays itself out most prominently in the fight to be wagon master. If you bid high enough, youll take control of a wagon. And then its a matter of symbiosis: you need other people to jump on your bandwagon to get them to cover your cost of winning the bid plus the more people you have on board, the more support youll have in getting your wagon across town. And they need YOU to accept their goods so they can get them transported. But at the same time, having lost the bid to you, they would like to see your wagon run into the ground. And the thought of not shipping their own goods to make you suffer more than they is a frequent consideration in this game. If all this isnt taxing enough (and this is only one of six basic mechanics of the game!), Kramer peppered this element of the game by allowing the wagon master to load three goods onto the wagon but they must be all of one type. The other riders are limited to just two goods and they cant be of the same type as the wagon master (but the two goods dont have to be the same).
One of the smartest things Kramer did for the game is mandate each step of the social ladder to be paid twice. In other words, you have to pay to move up the ladder a step, but once there, on the next turn, you have to pay that cost again just to maintain your position AND THEN if you have money left over you can advance farther up the ladder. The set costs of moving up in ranking accelerate and this slows down leaders somewhat.
Because there is so much interaction involved in each phase of the game, you cant outsmart your opponents all the time before they catch wind of your strategy. Ultimate victory will depend on your ability to help and receive help from others, while maintaining your distance as aggressive competitors. This, in itself, is a rare achievement in board games. Kramer, youve raised yourself up the ladder again.
I want my own copy of this game, but it is from an elusive breed. I dont need another twelve playings to know Die Handler is a winner. I got my hands on the correct rules translation unlike the many vocal detractors who reviewed this game negatively, and Ive seen the beauty of this game. Much of it lies in the theme: as merchants, you must be figuring out which goods to buy, getting them loaded onto wagons (for a good price), transporting them to neighbouring towns and then selling them for a profit. Add to that the escalating cost of maintaining your social status and youll feel the pressure mounting as every decision becomes more consequential.
The bits are so good Queen could rival Rio Grande in terms of production values. The map, the goods, the wagons, the money theres a lot to be said about how great pieces can bolster the fun of a game.
There are tweaks we utilize to suit our taste. In addition to removing all the influence cards (theyre in German anyway) and creating a whole new card system (I had fun with that), I suggest:
1) The Shrewd Purchaser may buy 1 good at the current price and receive two more goods of the same type for free. Therefore, each different good bought in one turn will be bought at the regular price (i.e. to buy 2 wine and 1 salt: buy 1 wine, receive 1 wine free, then buy the 1 salt a regular price).
2) To suppress the price fluctuations a little, only players who have delivered a good may influence the price changes. If someone only has 1 good on the wagon, he can only move one arm of his price wheel. 2 goods allow you to move both arms.
Die Handler has a very imaginative design, but the mechanics of the game whether youre negotiating with a wagonmaster or carefully selling goods amidst a turbulent market all make sense. If youre looking for a game with attractive pieces, attractive theme and one that will get repeated playings, Die Handler makes the most sense.

Buy cheap. Bid highest for a departing wagon, load your goods, and negotiate fees to carry others. Set out for profitable cities, while trying to earn privileges en route. Everyone secretly increases the price of two items each round. Merchandise pushed beyond maximum value reverts to lowest. "Everyone's into cloth, but not all should vote for it. Should I leave it alone? Will they? Hmm!" Sell when your wagon reaches another town. Rounds end with each player paying to maintain his current Status, and optionally buying more. Highest Status wins after all wagons arrive. Another Kramer masterpiece has arrived.
When a game comes from the double act of Wolfgang Kramer and Richard Ulrich, the pair behind El Grande, you expect a good game with interactive clever systems. Couple this with an excellent presentation (wonderful board, well-designed components, good player aids) and your pulse, like mine, will be running fast with expectation. The delay in getting a rule set was satisfied by A.S. Fischer set from the rules translation set from Frank Branham's site neonate.org and away you go!
The game is played in rounds, with each player representing traders, who are trying to improve their prestige. The substantial board consists of 6 cities connected by trade routes. Each city has four warehouses, one per player, where goods are stored after being purchased and also has a marketplace where three of the six types of goods are produced.
There are three wagons used to transport the goods. In keeping with the high quality of the products, the wagons are substantial blocks of wood with spaces for three goods from each player.
Game play is over six phases, starting with purchasing goods. Each player can buy goods from a city. The limitations are that you can only buy up to 3 goods and you have to store them in the warehouse in the cities where the goods were bought. In the next phase players bid to own the right to put goods on a wagon. Since the wagon owner will control the wagon, he can allow other players to load their goods, but they cannot be the same type as he has loaded. Other players can only do so having negotiated a fee with the wagon owner and only two goods can be loaded. So there is an advantage in being the wagon owner. The price paid for this is determined by a secret ``in the fist'' bid and in practice we found that this price was recovered from the fee charged to other players loading their goods.
Players use one of four movement chits (numbered 1 to 4) to determine movement. A wagon loaded with three players goods could move 12 movement points, which is more than enough to move a wagon from one city to another.
Prices are determined by using a grid on the board, with players ``voting'' using wheels with two hands. This moves the price of goods indicated up by one. However, if you go too far, instead of getting the top price, you may end up with the lowest price. Goods that have just reached a city can now be sold at the prices realized in the last phase.
The final chart on the board shows the Status Table. In order to rise up this table, you need to pay a fee that increases each round a wagon reaches a city. There is also a maintenance cost that rises as the players climb the social ladder.
So the summary of the game is: buy goods and get them transported to cities where you can sell them for profit. This allows you to climb the social status amongst the traders and win the game.
There are additional game systems added which add some chrome and also introduce some chance cards. We found one extraordinary: in the later stages of the game the cost of rising up the status ladder is high and this card gives you a substantial discount. This seemed out of keeping with the planned progress of the rest of the game and is a piece of chaos gaming that I would exclude from future games.
The game works, as you would expect from this design team and there is a sense of an improving situation, with games being determined by the rate of improvement. Cash flow is difficult to monitor. If wagons with your goods do not arrive at the right time, you can be short of cash. Grabbing a loan with tide you over, but you can't move up the social ladder. This is a sensible rule and a good game balance.
My overall disappointment was hard to swallow. There is a sense of expectation built up by seeing quality components and well-respected designers. I desperately wanted to enjoy the game and without some of the unbalancing cards would have enjoyed the play better. Nonetheless there is a sense of disillusionment that the design does not generate sufficient enjoyment. Trading games are amongst the games I enjoy most. The tone of the comments from other game players was consistent. Pedestrian was one comment. I hope someone can point out what I am missing and rejuvenate the game. I will play this again, in the hope that I have missed some subtle nuance, but it is not as clever as El Grande and follows a more processional form than their other excellent games.

Citigroup: Worth Less and Less Every Day
Citigroup's newly resuscitated motto maintains that "Citi never sleeps." The bank's investors, coincidentally, also are suffering some insomnia-filled nights. The topper? With the stock opening this morning at $18.06, Citi's market cap has fallen below $100 billion.
That is quite a drop from the 52-week high of $52.97 the stock was trading at in July 2007. The bank's shares are thus trading at about one-third of where they stood at their yearly peak. It has also set a new 52-week low of $17.57 in mid-morning trading.
|Associated Press
|Businessmen walk past the trademark red umbrella of Citigroup at one of the bank's New York office buildings in 2006.
Citigroup also has taken a drubbing at the hands of skeptical Wall Street analysts, who reduced their forecasts for Citigroup's earnings and their price targets for the stock this week. Credit Suisse analysts predicted another $6 billion to $10 billion in write-downs for Citigroup, while Goldman Sachs Group analyst William Tanona–consistently bearish on Citigroup's prospects–wrote: "We see multiple headwinds for Citigroup including additional write-downs, higher consumer provisions as a result of rapidly deteriorating consumer credit trends, and the potential for additional capital raises, dividend cuts, or asset sales." Tanona downgraded Citigroup shares to a conviction sell, reduced the price target to $16, and suggested that investors go long on Morgan Stanley shares while shorting Citigroup stock, or betting that the stock price will fall.
At this point, there's little to do about it but some rubbernecking at just how bad the situation is with Citigroup shares. Here is a random aggregation of banks and companies whose market values are higher and lower than Citigroup.
Citigroup's market value is higher than….
Morgan Stanley at $42 billion, Wells Fargo at $82.57 billion and Goldman Sachs at $70 billion.
Citigroup's market value is roughly equal to….
Nokia at $99 billion.
Citigroup's market value is less than….
Google at $173 billion, or Apple at $156 billion, or Novartis at $123 billion.
Bank of America at $118.5 billion. J.P. Morgan at $129 billion. And Citi has about half the market value of HSBC Holdings, whose U.S. market value is $191 billion. And General Electric, with a market cap of $272 billion, could buy Citigroup twice over with its stock and still have $72 billion in shares left over. That's still nothing compared to Exxon Mobil with its $467 billion market cap, which could buy four Citigroups.
Update: One apparently harried Citi employee replies, "I believe the issue at Citi is that 'Citi never sleeps.' Perhaps if Citi got a good night's sleep it wouldn't lose as many billions each quarter."

Roger loses tough fight in Basel
Novak Djokovic ended Roger's run of three straight titles at the Swiss Indoors in Basel. Even an enthusiastic Basel crowd did not manage to push Roger to victory today; he eventually lost 4-6, 6-4, 2-6 in the final.
"I thought I missed plenty of opportunities. I'm not looking for excuses. He played tough and he played well when he had to, and saved a ton of break points that were crucial," Roger said. He is now 59-9 this year after losing only his third match since May.
The first set ended in a thrilling last game, when Roger earned himself a total of five break points in a game that lasted 24 minutes. In the second set, our champ spectacularly came back from one break down to win the set, the crowd stamping and clapping in joy. But unfortunately Roger could not keep up the great run and saw himself fall back to 0-4 in the deciding set. Djokovic closed out the victory after Roger could not profit from three break points.
Roger will now travel on to Paris, where he will compete in the BNP Paribas Masters this coming week.
On to Paris now !!!
Just be stronger and better next year!!!!!
Wish u all the best in Paris and London and try to finish number one this year!!!
We will always be there cheering for u, our great champ and man@@
ok you missed the title but you did your best and that is that counts
good luck in paris
love and support always...
Not to worry Roger I kinda had a feeling that you would need a tournament or two to get yourself on track again, so just pleased that you got to the final. Keep plodding away at your game and I'm sure you''ll be in fine form to be competit

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) - Mingo County chief tax deputy Pam Dixon will serve as the county's interim sheriff.
Media outlets report that the County Commission named Dixon as interim sheriff on Wednesday.
She replaces Rosie Crum, who resigned last month.
Crum was appointed as interim sheriff days after her husband, Sheriff Eugene Crum, was fatally shot on April 3 while eating lunch in his car in downtown Williamson.
Interviews are being conducted to choose a permanent sheriff.

**Don't forget to snap a photo of your healthy lunch and send it to me for Lindsay's Lunchbox!**
I know this is a little belated, but believe me, it's worth the wait 🙂
We had plans to have a small Superbowl get-together with friends. One couple stayed home so there was just four of us…but we had food for about 20!
I made some of my Curried Sweet Potato Dip, we had hummus & pita chips, I made some awesome banana cookies (recipe to come!) and my friend Sarah brought oreo brownies. I ate approximately half the pan. We also bought some plain frozen wings and tossed them in sauce.
In addition, I made two delicious appetizers that I wanted to share with you.
First up: I made Cake, Batter & Bowl's Chicken Parm Bites. They were a big hit. Really simple to make and they taste delicious. I was so sure they were going to be good that I recommended them to one of my teachers before I even made them myself!
I ran into a little bit of a problem before I even started as I ran out of panko breadcrumbs. I had them on my grocery list and the grocery store was out of them! I panicked slightly, but then I regrouped and remembered that I had bookmarked Jessica's Homemade Panko Breadcrumbs a while ago and hadn't tried them yet! I had a second bout of panic when I read through the instructions and realized I would need my big food processor. I have one. But the past 10 times I've tried to use it, I haven't been able to get it to turn on and I always end up just putting it back in a fit of frustration. I finally dug out the owner's manual and determined that I had been putting the bowl on backwards. Who would have guessed that the handle was supposed to be facing towards you, so it practically covers the buttons, instead of away from you. Not this girl. In any event, once I had it positioned correctly, it worked like a gem. I used a few slices of homemade bread to make some whole wheat panko!
Crisis averted. Then I got down to business making my parm balls.
I seasoned my breadcrumbs with some italian seasoning and basil and set up my breading station:
Roll, dip, roll, bake!
Serve with marinara sauce!
Visit Cake, Batter & Bowl for the original recipe!
The second appetizer we enjoyed was Betty Crocker's Stuffed Mushrooms. My mother-in-law got us Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices cookbook a few years ago and this is our favorite recipe!
Betty Crocker Stuffed Mushrooms
1/2 pound ground chicken or turkey
1/4 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 egg white
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp gingerroot
2 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
mushrooms to stuff
1) Heat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Mix all ingredients except mushrooms.
3) Fill mushroom caps with meat mixture and place on cookie sheet.
4) Bake 10 minutes until tops are light brown and meat is cooked through.
They're really easy to make, very healthy and have a nice Asian flair!
So tell me, what was the best thing you cooked for the Superbowl?
P.S. There's still a few days for you to use the 10% code to buy some reusable snack bags! The giveaway is over, but the code is good until Sunday!
I strongly encourage all of you to think about buying some of these bags. They cute, practical and great for the environment. To receive a 10% discount, enter the code "BAGIT2/11″ in the message to seller at the time of your purchase and she will reimburse you after your order is processed. This code will be valid from Monday 2/7/11- Sunday 2/13/11.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers working to rein in government spending still found enough leftover cash to give veterans a Christmas bonus during their latest round of budget negotiations.
As part of the massive federal budget bill agreement Congress passed last week, the Department of Veterans Affairs will see a 3.6 percent boost in its discretionary funding for fiscal 2012. The $58.5 billion plan is about $300 million less than what the White House requested, but the increase is still more than many agencies received.
Nearly $3 billion of that money is earmarked for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. The department estimates that they'll supply some assistance to more than 530,000 of those vets in the coming year, more than double the number they reached in 2008. The money includes research and treatment programs for mental health issues, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Another $4.9 billion will be set aside for programs to help homeless veterans, an increase of nearly $600 million from fiscal 2011. Funding for long-term care programs is also up about $600 million, to $6.9 billion, and will support for institutional and home-based care programs.
Nearly $600 million is dedicated to medical and prosthetic research, a slight increase from fiscal 2011 levels. And $200 million more was set aside for implementation of the of the new caregivers benefits program, which provides training and stipends for family of injured veterans.
The budget plan also includes $63.8 billion in mandatory funding for veterans programs and $52.5 billion in advance appropriations for VA in fiscal 2013, to ensure that medical operations remain funded in case of future budget fights.

The court today ruled that First Amendment guarantees do not always protect government employees when they speak out pursuant to their official capacities—as opposed to as citizens speaking out on matters of public concern.
Washington Post:
The Supreme Court today narrowed the First Amendment protections for public employees who reveal perceived wrongdoing they happen to observe in the course of doing their jobs.
The decision enhances the ability of governments at all levels to punish employees for speaking out, shielding officials in many instances from lawsuits for violating the right to free speech.
It does not interfere with federal or state laws that independently protect the actions of whistleblowers.

Secret World Guide to the Trascribing System
Due to the nature of ability system in the Secret World, where the player can combine or have thousands and thousands of different combinations of abilities. It's really important that players have the gear to really support the abilities that they're playing with. If you're playing as a healer, you want healer stats on your gear, and if your build revolves around critical hitting, you want critical hit chance on your gear. This crafting system is a support tool for the players as they're playing through the game. It is called Transcribing, and it's basically taking the item, breaking it down, learning how it works, then putting it back together with the stats that you want on the item.
For example, if you want to play with hammers. Your build revolves around critical hits and penetrating strikes, so you want that type of stats on your gear. You have one hammer but it doesn't have any of the stats you want on it. What you have to do is to follow the process of increasing the quality level of this hammer but also adding those stats to it. Next, you have to open up the Transcribing window, and break down the hammer by pull it in the transcribing box and disassemble it.
Then you will get some materials laid out in the shapes of a hammer. The shapes that you form here in this grid define the item type, and the type of materials define what sort of stat goes on that item. You are going to take this metal, called sacred metal. As I said before, you want to upgrade the quality level of this hammer so you have to refine this metal by putting a stack of it in, assembling it, and out comes pure metal. Pure metal is a better form of metal, far better than sacred metal. You're going to put this in your inventory. Luckily enough, you have looted some pure metal from before, so now you're going to create an upgraded version of the hammer from putting all the pure metal back in in the shape of a hammer, and you have to add a weapon assembly kit to increase the quality level of the hammer. As you hit assemble, we get a blue rare hammer with increased weapon powers. Now you have a really good hammer, but you still don't have the crit rating and the penetration rating that you want on the item.
All items in the Secret World guide consist of multiple items; prefixes, cores, and suffixes. Players can create these different items by themselves. What you're going to do now is to create a prefix, which has penetration rating and critical rating, the important stats for your hammers. What you have to do is to add material that increases penetration rating and material that increases critical rating. You put it in the shape of a prefix. You're going to add the prefix assembly kit, because that's what we're making, and then hit assemble. Out comes a glyph of ferocity. That glyph is the prefix item, and this item you can combine with many different items, any different core, any different shocker or weapon type, put this in an inventory, and combine it with the hammer that you already made and upgraded. When you hit assemble, you get a fierce hammer. You see the name changes. It has really good weapon power having the stats, the critical rating and the penetration rating that you wanted. Keep in mind that, the better your weapon is, the faster your secret world leveling will be.
This is a really nice support tool for the players to get the right kind of stats on the item that they want. It's made to be able to supplement their build to sort of really support the build that they're running with. Having a healthy economy in MMO is really important, and transcribing will be a crucial part of the economy in the game since players can create parts of an item or create full items, and they can trade with each other. They can sell them on the trade posts or give it to their friends if they want to be nice.
Transcribing in The Secret World can be further read at this website which offers a literal step-by-step guide. The Secret World reference manual contains a full list of transcribed items along with how to use the correct prefixes and suffixes to enhance your weaponry.

Can you guys take a few minutes and let me know what you think about this program?
On September 25, 2015 the United Nations will announce The Global Goals for Sustainable Development, a set of goals for the world that aim to make our planet fair, healthy and sustainable by 2030.
Wouldn't it be amazing if in the week of the 27th September 2015 children across the world knew about The Global Goals and began to contribute to their achievement in whatever way they could?
This is the ambition of The World's Largest Lesson.

15 - 16 Web Mappng Mini Course.
I have completed the updates to the instructional videos for the Web Mapping and Map Applications Mini Course. Most of the videos are shorter than last year. I have attached the mini course outline with the updates on video lengths.
The one exception on the shorter video length is the last lesson. I debated on splitting this in two but decided to keep it as one. Most of the new material is demonstrating the new map application templates without instruction. The kids should be able to use these from the builder instructions on the ESRI web site.
This mini course is appropriate for grades 8 and above. Grade 7 advanced students should be able to handle it as well. With the new map application tools ArcGIS Online further has value across the curriculum. I highly recommend that the best entry point for students in using this tool is early in 8th grade social studies. This is where it crosses over best to California content standards.

Can't get through the day without checking your email every few minutes? Maybe it's time to change that habit. Recent experiments conducted at the University of California show that even temporarily disconnecting from your inbox will do wonders for your stress levels. Not to mention the added boost to productivity.
UC Irvine informatics professor Gloria Mark who led this study first monitored a group of people as they went about their daily routine. Then, they were made to disconnect from email completely. Using various sensors, different aspects of the persons behaviour were monitored. They measured the heart rate as well as the intervals between heartbeats to determine heart rate variability, a common measure for stress. After a few days, a clear pattern emerged which showed reduced stress levels.
