If your great grandma got ripped off, maybe you can get some of it back.
From AARP's "Bulletin" May 2005
The College Republican National Committee, which came under fire during the 2004 presidential campaign for aggressive fundraising tactics that targeted older people, has terminated its long-standing relationship with the company that generated the high-pressure appeals and has invited unhappy donors to request refunds.
The CRNC, which is not affiliated with the Republican National Committee, raised more than $12 million in the last election cycle. While the Washington-based organization claims 120,000 members on more than 1,100 college campuses, more than two-thirds of the money came from people who identified themselves as retired ($8 million) or homemakers ($780,906), according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington nonprofit group. The Seattle Times reported last year that the median age of the CRNC's 50 top donors was 85.
Among the donors who want refunds is Monda Jo Millsap, 68, of Van Buren, Ark. Last year, after being told that her money was need to help re-elect President Bush, she emptied her savings account and took out a loan to send nearly $60,000 to the CRNC. "I wanted to help ," she says. "But I didn't want to lose as much as I lost."
In all, Millsap sent in 185 checks, ranging from $3 to $1,500, in response to appeals from "Republican Headquarters 2004," " Republican Election Committee" and other names used by the CRNC in addition to its own.
Since 2002 the CRNC has raised more than $20 million, with almost all of it going to pay for more fundraising. More than half has gone to Response Dynamics, direct-mail company in Vienna, Va., and four affiliated firms.
In March, the CRNC announced that it was ending its 13-year relationship with Reponse Dynamics, effective June 1.
"When the situation arises where there's a person who's given more than they can afford or who is confused, we want to be able to refund that money," Doug McGregor, the CRNC's executive director, says. "We will do what we can to honor those requests."

Phone 7 is finally
here. The good is that there's lots of hardware varieties
to choose from, much like Android. Also in the good news
category is the slick and easy to used polished user interface that
comes standard with WP7. The bad news is that many features are
notably missing -- hot
swappable SD memory, copy/cut/paste, and true third-party
multitasking.But there's hope yet for those who have
purchased Windows Phone 7 handsets, or are thinking about it.
Microsoft is rumored
to be planning a massive update to the young operating system
according to wpcentral.The news was leaked by
overexcited Windows Phone 7 developer Chris Walsh, who couldn't keep
quiet about the update's inclusion of copy/cut/paste, free
voice-guided Bing navigation, custom ringtone support, a third-party
multitasking solution, and more.The update is rumored to land
as early as January, in time to go head to head with Google's
Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" and Apple's
iOS 4.3.If indeed all those rumored features make it to
the finished product, Microsoft would unleash a wicked competitor on
the market. As one Twitter poster put it, "MS took 3
months to do what Apple did in 3 years."Another poster
comments, "Let's just say, they could have called it Windows
Phone 8."Let's just say Google and Apple are doubtless
watching closely how this one plays out.
quote: Its the delta between when other platforms were released to when they implemented said features that matters..
quote: Other manufacturers wished they could have had their mobile platform progress so quickly.
quote: If it really matters that much to you, stay away from the platform. But I think it was a smart move on MS's part, people will buy the phones during Christmas with an expectation that their phones will get a big update a month or so later.

Jadeveon Clowney made it clear last week at Southeastern Conference media days that he always planned to spend three years in college, then head to the NFL — and that he will follow through on that plan after this season. This came as a surprise to nobody, since he almost certainly will be the first overall pick in next year's draft.
Of course, the widespread public knowledge that South Carolina's All-American defensive end is gone after this season could have rippling and potentially negative effects.
USC spokesman Steve Fink said Tuesday that the school is following "standard procedure" in investigating reported contact between Clowney and a sports agency run by the rapper and music mogul Jay-Z.
Simply communicating with an agent — or someone representing a sports agency — is not, in itself, a violation of NCAA rules.
But, according to the NCAA, an athlete "may not agree verbally or in writing to be represented by an athlete agent in the present or in the future for the purpose of marketing the student-athlete's ability or reputation. If the student-athlete enters into such an agreement, the student-athlete is ineligible for intercollegiate competition. Also, a student-athlete may not accept transportation or other benefits from an athlete agent. This prohibition applies to the student-athlete and his or her relatives or friends."
The NCAA defines the term "agent" as: "actual agents, runners (individuals who befriend student-athletes and frequently distribute impermissible benefits) and financial advisors."
In regard to permitting contact, the NCAA states: "It is not a violation of NCAA rules if a student-athlete merely talks to an agent (as long as an agreement for agent representation is not established) or socializes with an agent. For example, a student-athlete could go to dinner with an agent and no NCAA violations would result if the student-athlete provided his own transportation and paid for his meal."
According to a report from Neil Stratton of InsideTheLeague.com, Clowney has been in regular contact with Jay-Z's agency, Roc Nation Sports, and will probably sign with the group, which Jay-Z launched in April. The agency has a partnership with Creative Artists Agency, one the most powerful agencies in sports.
When Roc Nation Sports started, it simultaneously announced that it had gained New York Yankees star second baseman Robinson Cano as its first marquee client — a significant pickup, as Cano had previously been represented by Scott Boras, one of baseball's most influential figures.
Clowney did nothing to distance himself from the report of contact between him and Roc Nation Sports. On his Instagram account, he reposted a link to the report and wrote: "You kno [sic] we about to turn up Dream coming true."
During a television appearance with ESPN on Tuesday, USC coach Steve Spurrier said he has spoken to Clowney about issues involving agents and NCAA rules.
"When the bowl game is over this coming season, he's free to accept any amount of money anybody wants to give him," Spurrier said. "But until then, he has to be a student-athlete like all the other guys or he's not going to be eligible. He's done a good job of knowing that."

A Letter to the Editor in the April 7, 2009, Tomahawk Leader:
About the tragedy of young Rochelle Anderson … the crux of the whole matter is that she should never have been in a job like that in the first place. These gasoline station stores are magnets for young guys on drugs who need dope money. She was a "sitting duck." If a twenty-five-year-old man had been in that job; he would have had a fighting good chance to defend himself.
Would that this tragedy, sad as it is, be a wake-up call to future employees: do not put a lone woman into an after dark job. Some jobs are good for women and some jobs are good for men. This job was meant for a man.

The Lapco Autococker Accushot 3 Barrel Kit 14 inch.
The classic Lapco One Piece Big Shot is still a favorite among players looking for superior performance. Lapco uses only Military Grade, solid, raw material. By doing this they avoid the waviness or lines that you see when you look down a barrel that was machined from raw tubing. The waviness and lines cause a paintball (which is not perfectly round and filled with liquid) to catch or spin causing those unwanted wild flyers.
Lapco hones their barrels in three stages. First, they are rough honed removing only .001 inch at a time from the barrel wall, to get them close to the finished size. Then they are semi-finished removing another .00025 of an inch from the barrel wall and creating a smoother finish. Finally they are master honed to create a finish that is smoother than glass and is perfectly sized. This gives the barrels the self-cleaning properties that will keep you in the game.
If you are in the market for a higher end barrel you are not going to get a more accurate barrel than a LAPCO One Piece Big Shot. You will save on paint (accuracy) and air (extreme low friction) with this well-crafted barrel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORUPuKhjTp8 4' 25" and he was only 19.
If I remember my American history right , there was a precedent-setting case back in 1800 or so in which a newspaper published editorials critical of the President, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson sued for libel and was contemplating a charge of treason. The newspaper guy wrapped himself in his First Amendment rights and beat the charge.
A century later President Teddy Roosevelt sued a newspaper and won. The editor apologized, Roosevelt was satisfied with the apology, and the editor had to pay a fine of six cents.
I definitely have to look those up, Math. I have a vague memory of reading about the Jefferson one.
Doris, I agree about the surprising patchwork of different state laws. Since at one point many of the states were parts of different countries, there are even some variations in state laws that stem from those earlier times. I believe, for example, that some of Louisiana's laws arise from the Napoleonic Code rather than from English common law, the basis for many other states' laws.
I'm a little confused about the history of this stuff.
AFAIR, the US freedom of speech starts before there was a United States, with the John Peter Zenger trial, circa 1735. Zenger was a printer who attacked the governor of NY in print. The trial established the principal that the truth is a defense to charges of seditious libel; the court did not buy the argument, but the jury did.
In Jefferson's time, the issue was the Alien & Sedition Acts, established under John Adams, under which a number of people were charged, imprisioned, or fined for seditious libel, but their case did not reach the Supreme Court; & in any case Marbury v. Madison, which established the Supreme Court as a judicial review, had not yet been argued.
Jefferson, in fact, ran against the renewal of The Alien & Sedition Acts, & they expired during Jefferson's presidency. He pardoned people who were convicted of libelling John Adams. However, that didn't keep Jefferson from invoking them a couple of times before they expired.
So I'm wondering, whether there's an additional case where the people that Jefferson used the act on sued? I haven't found it yet.
Olympia, Yes, that's true about Louisiana. It's also why they have "parishes" rather than "counties".
NY has some odd Dutch leftovers, too, AFAIR, although because they are further back in history, fewer than Louisiana.
Thanks for finding it.
Reading it, I find that again, the state Supremecourt did not decide, let the conviction stand, and then the State of NY outlawed criminal libel, thus making the case moot, and it was not reviewed by the federal Supreme Court.
It makes my head spin.
I'm glad you brought up the John Peter Zenger trial, Doris. It was such a landmark, and incredibly surprising, because the man who had been publicly criticized, Cosby, wasn't an elected official but the royal governor of the colonyin other words, a representative of the British King. Amazing that Zenger was able to win out. The Zenger trial is considered the basis for the free press right enshrined in our first amendment.
Thanks for supplying the links to the various cases. I'll look everything up when I get off from work. It makes one realize that the best laws aren't imposed from the top down. They grow from the bottom up. I mean, Marbury v. Madison wasn't in the original Constitution in so many words. It was implied in the idea of a judiciary independent of the other branches of government (in other words, independent of the Congress, which made the laws). It would be interesting to find out from some of our non-American GS posters what the position of the judiciary is in relation to the rest of their governments. In Britain, the judiciary derives its power from the Crown, but I'm not sure what that means in terms of whether they have power to review any particular laws. After all, since Britain doesn't have a written Constitution, can something be unconstitutional? More delving to come!
Here's a site I found, but I haven't read through it yet:

My sons first birthday is approaching. The BB that I am on is going crazy with all the birthday party posts. Everyone thinks their invitation is better, the outfit is cuter, they are having more people, they are spending more money, and they are getting bigger presents. When my girls (twins) turned one we went on vacation to celebrate having survived the first year. We did not have a party.
What do think about 1st birthday parties? Should it be a small celebration for immediate family or an all out party inviting EVERYONE?
If you get an invitation to a party for a friends child do you feel honored/happy to be included or do you think of it as a gift grab?
What about a party with a "no gifts" request? Rudy/tacky because obviously the parent expected you to bring a gift but says please don't or who cares, I'm bringing a present anyways?

UNIVERSITY PARK - During his post-Blue-White Game press conference Saturday, Bill O'Brien left the door open for decorated incoming true freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg to compete for the Nittany Lions' starting job in the fall.
After it, he opened it even wider.
Sophomore Steven Bench and junior-college transfer Tyler Ferguson split time, had practically identical statistics, and neither distanced themselves in the most public of the quarterbacks' spring competition.
O'Brien didn't tip his hand on whether one is ahead of the other, but he didn't back away from a question on whether Hackenberg, the No. 1 rated high school prospect in some recruiting circles, will get a chance.
The 6-foot-4, 212-pound Fort Union Military Academy product arrives in June, but he's been studying the playbook since he signed the national letter-of-intent in February and has been in steady dialogue with O'Brien since verbally committing in February of 2012.
Hackenberg was on hand to watch his future teammates Saturday.
"We'll integrate him right in there," O'Brien said. "It's very difficult to get three quarterbacks reps in training camp so we'll have to evaluate that in the next couple months - how we'll do that, if we'll do that."
Honesty and candor have been part of O'Brien's foundation since he succeeded Joe Paterno - one reason why so few have transferred - and he plans to meet with the entire squad, one by one, over the next few weeks to discuss their status academically and their place with the team.
"We have to do a good job making sure where these two guys [Bench and Ferguson] stand and making sure they know where they stand," O'Brien said. "And then when training camp starts, we'll have to give Christian some reps and give him a chance to compete."
Clearly, O'Brien is not against the idea of starting a true freshman and although he admits his offensive system is "fairly complex," the Lions do have a negotiable soft non-conference schedule (Syracuse, Eastern Michigan, Central Florida and Kent.)
Perhaps as tellingly on Saturday, O'Brien did not make either Bench, Ferguson or quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher - all requested by the media - available for post-game interviews.
Neither QB was available all spring, either, but it was thought they'd get their first taste of handling the media contingent (once again, 100-plus) after Saturday's annual scrimmage.
It's the first time in memory - even under JoePa, who protected his younger players, especially his younger quarterbacks - that the quarterbacks were shielded in the spring.
Ferguson, who arrived on campus in January, appeared to display the stronger arm, but Bench also showed accuracy in firing some completions into tight spots.
It's difficult to overly evaluate a Blue-White Game, where most of the players don't even play two series in a row, and rules are skewed to eliminate quarterback sacks.
O'Brien said both Bench and Ferguson "did decent things" on Saturday and throughout the spring.
When he was asked about one, he went out of his way to include the other, and he admitted he emerged from the spring "no closer" to determining a starter than he was 15 practices ago.
"It's a decision that has to be made," O'Brien said, "but not today."
What he is sure about, however, is that he's not a two-quarterback man. He said it a couple of times this spring, and he reiterated it Saturday when asked if he still prefers to use just one.
"Yes," he said. "Only one quarterback can play at a time, in my opinion."
And my opinion? Christian Hackenberg is driving home today, set to return in two months, still squarely in the mix.

WILD TALES: A Rock & Roll Life. By Graham Nash. Crown Archetype. 368 pages. $28.
As with every other retelling, Graham Nash, in his new autobiography, "Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life," recalls the moment that he joined in with David Crosby and Stephen Stills to create an impromptu three-part harmony on Still's song, "You Don't Have to Cry," and it was sheer vocal magic. And while there are differing opinions of where this magic moment took place, Nash seems pretty sure of his memory.
Graham Nash, is of course the Nash of the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash, who exploded into the rock music scene in 1969 with their performance at Woodstock.
Not all was magic with the supergroup. The clash of egos, and the drugs, booze, women, and fame, are all recounted in this breezy memoir.
Nash's 1970 autobiographical song "Military Madness" begins, "In an upstairs room in Blackpool, by the side of a Northern sea, the army had my father and my mother was having me."
Graham Nash was born Feb. 2, 1942, during World War II. His mother evacuated Salford to have her baby in Blackpool, a safer locale, as the docks in Salford were a regular target for Nazi bombings.
After the war, the family reunited in Salford where Graham was raised in near poverty. When he 11, his father spent a year in prison for allegedly stealing a camera. While Nash doesn't say so explicitly, this trauma seems to have greatly influenced the passion against injustice that he has exhibited throughout his life.
In his early school days, Nash met and became fast friends with Allan Clarke. Nash and Clarke would begin making music together in their early teens, eventually founding the Hollies, the group that first cracked Britain's Top 10 in 1964 and rode the second wave of the British Invasion, with songs hitting the Top 40 in the United States beginning in 1966.
Eventually, Nash evolved in very divergent artistic and cultural directions from his Hollies bandmates. It was a difficult decision for Nash to leave the band and his longtime friends, especially Clarke, but his music was being rejected by the group (there is, in Nash's words an "awful version" of "Marrakesh Express" that the Hollies recorded at Abbey Road studios that he "hopes no one ever hears").
So he left the Hollies and England and found a new life and loves in America, where he moved in 1968.
Settling in California, Nash fell in love and had a relationship with Joni Mitchell, while at the same time cementing his place in a group with David Crosby, who had been fired from the popular band, The Byrds, and with Stephen Stills of the recently disbanded Buffalo Springfield.
Crosby, Stills & Nash became a rock phenomenon. Nash recounts their genesis, which culminated in the famous performance they gave at the Woodstock festival in 1969.
Their first album broke the Billboard Top 10 and was hugely influential. But what started out as magic soon descended into clashes and petty squabbles.
Nash gives substantial time and space to his two partners, as well as to Neil Young, whose addition to the trio "was like lobbing a live grenade into a vacuum."
He does not hold back on his bandmates or himself.
The book is a treasure trove of minutiae for fans of the band or rock music in general. We read how George Harrison turned down CSN to record on Apple Records and how they ended up on the Atlantic label.
The music scene in Laurel Canyon, Calif., is described in detail, and many of the famous and infamous get passing mention or more. And yes, there are generous amounts of sex and drugs as well as rock and roll.
Nash's book does not read like a written composition; rather, it basically reads like a tape transcription. Sometimes this tone can be annoying, but there also is a conversational tone that is easy and informal.
Nash takes us through the dissolution of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and through the numerous reunions, breakups and variations. Through it all, he communicates a great affection for and loyalty to David Crosby, even in Crosby's toughest times.
His relationship with Stephen Stills, while never as close as with Crosby, had many ups and downs, but Nash shows the greatest respect for Stills' abilities as a musician.
His relationship with Neil Young is quite complicated, and in the end, Nash says that Young never was a part of the band and that Young used the bands he was in as springboards for solo work.
Nash describes his political activism from the Kent State massacre (and the CSNY song "Ohio") to Occupy Wall Street, where he and Crosby showed up with their guitars and performed some songs.
Nash has often been an outspoken critic of various U.S. policies, which has not always endeared him to authorities here.
Nash also describes in detail his passion for photography, which began as a young boy. He has been a prolific photographer and collector of photos.
He auctioned his photo collection at Sotheby's for $2.6 million to launch his company Nash Editions, which creates gallery-quality prints for many photographers and artists such as David Hockney and Francisco Clemente.
At 71, Graham Nash seems a long way from a finished story. A husband and proud father, he still is engaged in writing and performing music, pursuing his photographic work and speaking out for causes that he believes are important.
"Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life" is an apt title. It is a wildly entertaining insider's journey through an immensely influential era in Rock music. As Graham Nash wrote in his song "Marrakesh Express" and as CSN sang, "All aboard the train."
Reviewer Michael Nelson is a writer and editor in Charleston.

Disability Resource Center
Disability Resource Center (DRC)
Role of the DRC
The role of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) is to facilitate equal access to University classes, programs, and activities for students with disabilities. Because access is a shared University responsibility, DRC serves as a resource for faculty, staff and administrators on creating accessible and inclusive environments. While WIU is committed to access and inclusion, it is not possible to anticipate all barriers that might exist for individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the DRC is the campus department designated by the University to work with students through an interactive process to determine disability and hear requests for reasonable accommodations.
In keeping with our role as a resource to the entire campus community, this website was designed to provide information to students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators.
DRC Mission
A commitment to equity, social justice and diversity is embedded in the values of Western Illinois University. We recognize disability as a naturally occurring aspect of the diversity of life that is integral to society and to the campus community. To that end, Disability Resource Center partners with the University community to create environments that are usable, equitable, inclusive and sustainable.1 We promote awareness and access through training, partnerships, innovative programs and accommodations.
1-Adapted from AHEAD "UDLI-endorsed" mission statement
DRC Core Beliefs
- Human variation is natural and vital in the development of dynamic communities.
- Disability is a social/political category that includes people with a variety of conditions who are bound together by common experiences.
- Inclusion and full participation are a matter of social justice.
- Design is powerful and profoundly influences our daily lives.
- Good design is essential for achieving inclusion and full participation.
- Creating usable, equitable, sustainable, and inclusive environments is a shared responsibility.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehab Act of 1973 provide a solid foundation on which to build our philosophy toward equal access for students with disabilities. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, no qualified person will be denied access to, participation in, or the benefits of, any program or activity operated by the University because of disability. The University will not discriminate against a qualified individual because of the known disability of another individual with whom the qualified individual is known to have a relationship or association.
Disability Discrimination
Western Illinois University complies fully with all applicable federal and state nondiscrimination laws, orders, and regulations. The University is committed to providing equal opportunity and an educational and work environment for its students, faculty, and staff that is free from discrimination based on sex, race, color, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, religion, age, marital status, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
The Office of Equal Opportunity and Access is responsible for administering and monitoring Western Illinois University's Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action policies and procedures. Inquiries about or complaints alleging violation of the policies should be directed to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access, (309) 298-1977.

Sacramento auto experts said there are an number of ways drivers can save gas while driving. Arden AAMCO auto experts said one of the easiest ways to save money is to make sure there are no cracks in your gas cap. Another tip is to always perform routine maintenance to your car's engine, including changing your car's engine spark plugs. "What will happen is throughout time you will get a bigger gap, and eventually throughout out time the gap will expand and it will cause more for it to get the engine to combust," said AAMCO manager Vince Stimmler.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Founded by Matthew Hui, M.D., Ph.D., in 2002, AmProtein refers to itself as a "biotechnology powerhouse that wants to revolutionize the way the industry produces biomolecules." The company has locations in Hangzhou, China, and Camarillo, CA.
AmProtein has discovered a new vector system that stimulates mammalian cells to express proteins at commercial levels after just a few gene transfections. In addition, researchers at AmProtein have invented a disposable bioreactor that allows cells to grow in special plastic bags and obtain oxygen from ambient air.
Traditional bioreactors mix solutions of cells with rotating blades and push in air with bubbles (sparging), similar to a fish tank. But the shear force of the blades and even the bubbles, once they burst, damage delicate mammalian cells. An alternative technology now in use eliminates the blades by rocking plastic bags attached to a board, but this method is also mechanically inefficient.
Dr. Hui and his team devised a better method based on plastic bags that shake the cells in culture media. The swaying contents roll up the sides of the plastic bags, allowing cells to acquire oxygen in the process. The magic ingredient is a special type of plastic that is covered with microscopic dimples on the surface that attract oxygen from ambient air. The repetitive washings trap oxygen in the form of dissolved microscopic bubbles, which do not damage mammalian cells.
This dissolved oxygen transfer method is the underlying technology behind a line of patented bioreactors, including suspension and perfusion bioreactors. The bioreactor product line, named Current, ranges in size from 20 mL to 300 L. Current bioreactors offer a high-density cell culture system for protein and antibody production and vaccine manufacturing. The ready-to-use plastic bags come in sizes to fit different Current bioreactors.
AmProtein also sells single-use, plastic miniature shaking and rolling bioreactor systems that are ideal for studying early-stage process development. The mini-bioreactor vessels hold volumes of 20, 40, 150 mL, 1 L, and 2 L and up to 15 of the bottles fit into a mini-bioreactor. All of the company's bioreactors can be used for growing high-density CHO cell suspension cultures, as well as vaccine manufacturing cell lines, such as Vero, MDCK, and EPC cells. "The platform is scalable from bench to manufacturing and makes existing industrial bioreactors obsolete," says Dr. Hui.
AmProtein scientists are working to improve the bioreactors by developing biodegradable, or green, plastic containers. If successful, "this will be a first for the biotechnology industry," says Aziz Joudi, executive business associate. The researchers are experimenting with bacterial fermentation by E. coli to generate the biodegradable plastic, which shows good oxygen transfer properties.

David Lang wants to make investigating the mysteries of the ocean accessible to anyone curious and adventurous enough to dive deep. Here, the co-founder of OpenROV — a community of citizen ocean explorers and creators of low-cost underwater robots — recounts his blistering journey from office job to fledgling maker to inventor of a robot that could revolutionize ocean exploration, education and research. And, he tells us about his newly launched book, Zero to Maker, a how-to guide for makers everywhere.
You started out on the OpenROV adventure after you lost a desk job. How did you make the leap from that to creating open source underwater robots?
Just over two years ago, I was working for this startup, writing emails, basically. When it went under, I decided to move to San Francisco because I was dating a woman up here at the time. But I also really wanted to start making stuff. I had met a carpenter, and I thought, "You can't take carpentry away from this guy. You can't fire him from this. It's a skill, and it's real." I wanted something like that in my life.
So my goal was simple: making things. I started taking these woodshop classes and welding, and then I got into 3D printing, laser cutting.
During that time I met my friend Eric Stackpole, who wanted to build this underwater robot so that he could explore the Hall City Cave, an underwater limestone cave in the mountains of Northern California, where we'd heard rumors of treasure. I was like 'whoa, that is so cool! Let me just tag along.' I helped him put up a website, OpenROV, where we explained that it was going to be an open-source underwater robot, and that we needed help building it – because we didn't know what we were doing.
We started getting great feedback and contributions from people all over the world, and we still do. It's in the DNA of our project — the fact that this is something we're all building together.
Did you find treasure in the cave?
No. But actually, we went back there recently, with Men's Journal and Range Rover, to film this commercial, with a film crew and everything. It's like a three-minute documentary. It should be out soon. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
What sorts of people were sending you information?
It's really diverse. Some are professional ocean engineers. But a lot of them are software developers or electrical engineers who just wanted to start dabbling in underwater robots. We have a group with diverse talents. And even brand-new makers, like me, have been making contributions.
Why do you think people have been so enthusiastic about contributing to this idea? Do you think this represents a new consciousness of some kind?
It harks back to Clay Shirky's idea of cognitive surplus, right? People don't want to go home and watch TV anymore — they want to continue to use their brains and be engaged in things. I think everyone is attracted to the project not just because of the robot, but because of this sense of adventure. I think that the cave story is equally important to what we're doing as the actual, physical robot is.
If you think about it, it's pretty amazing that two guys in their garage can build robots and go explore underwater caves. I mean, this is a different era of exploration, when anybody can do this stuff. It doesn't take a research grant to go out and be curious, and have pretty amazing adventures. I think it's really exciting for everyone to consider all the potential. It's just flat-out cool!
So essentially, you took all the information people were offering, and then you went to a maker space and cobbled it together?
Yeah! We did our first hundred OpenROVs at a TechShop. Now we have this lab in Berkeley, California, where we're making these robots. We have a test tank, tools, everything we need.
There've been underwater robots in the past, obviously. So why is OpenROV a breakthrough? Is it the low cost and total accessibility?
Yes, that's the goal. We want to make a scientifically capable robot for less than a thousand dollars. We still have a lot of room for improvement and evolution, but the rate of improvement is now really impressive. The big innovation, though, is the community. It's not just about one low-cost robot — it's the fact that we have this growing community of citizen ocean explorers.

This is the final installment to the Trisha Allen's Guide to Real Estate Investing.
As a reference, the Active/Passive measure is a five star scale with one-star being the most active and five-stars being the most passive.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT's)
A Real Estate Investment Trust is an entity that invests in real estate–usually large commercial cashflowing rentals. When you invest in a REIT, you're not buying real estate—you're buying stock in a company (a trust, actually) that buys and manages real estate. Typically, you'll receive dividends. But, dividends from REIT's are taxed at ordinary income tax rates, unlike stock dividends. So, REIT's may not be a great choice for people in higher tax brackets.
Entrance Difficulty Level: Easy
Active/Passive: ****
Tax Lien Certificates
Tax liens are imposed on properties when property taxes go unpaid for an extended amount of time. And, until the overdue taxes, accrued interest, and fees are paid to the local government, the tax lien will stay with the property. Anyone purchasing the property will be subject to the lien. In many states, private investors can purchase the liens themselves as tax lien certificates—which then transfers the government's interest and rights over the property to the investor! The rules vary from state to state. But, in some states, when you purchase a tax lien certificate, you receive the right to collect the interest on the unpaid taxes. The interest rates can range from 8% to 50% per year, depending on the state. Also, depending on the state, if the taxes go unpaid for long enough, the tax lien certificate purchaser can either sell the property or the property will be auctioned off for them to collect the total amount of interest and fees.
Entrance Difficulty Level: Easy
Active/Passive: ***
Note: I did not include a category regarding purchasing property in hopes of capitalizing on future appreciation. In my mind, that's not investing—it's gambling! If the property doesn't cashflow well or can't be sold for more money than was put into it, a buyer is taking a HUGE risk that could result in selling at a significant loss or losing the property to foreclosure.
An educated, careful investor has no reason to be afraid of investing in real estate. With an education behind you, you'll be able to spot opportunities as they come along—sometimes when no one else can! Much of the knowledge you'll need can be found for free by investigating online resources like blogs, forums, and even reading books from the library or while sitting in the café at your local bookstore. Now, don't just read one motivational book and think you're ready! Take the time to get to know your target market, cover your bases, and you should do just fine.
I've done real estate investing successfully since 2003 and have blogged about it since 2005. A word to the wise: before you invest, check with an attorney and a CPA to evaluate your goals, investing options, and the laws in your state.

Hmm....Raese versus a stinking anti-american, anti-rights, anti-morality socialist democrat? LOL.
The WORST conservative is better than the best liberal socialist. Some folks are just smart enough to get in trouble, hey, Joe?????

The don't like America......they want a Russia.

Joe....trying to get us not to vote for Capito eh? Your liberal deceit doesn't work anymore. We're on to the democrat spin and fakes. You are no more a conservative than Obama is. Name ONE liberal thing or vote that Capito is associated with. You obviously are relying on us being dumber than you and not READING THE BILLS that liberals are guilty of doing. Well, I know how Capito votes and she is the MOST conservative person in office at this time. No freaking way will I ever vote Manchin in again. He's lost a heck of a lot of votes next time around. He's FINISHED in WV. He should move to DC where he and his mentor, Obama can live happily ever after. Manchin has been mimicking everything Obama wants. And all that they want is pure socialism and Americans will NEVER tolerate that, which is why his career is over before it even gets started. Any other idiot want to attempt to deny us our 2nd amendment rights??????????? Best career killer yet.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State and Pitt have played 96 times dating back to 1893.
The next closest Nittany Lion opponent in games played is Syracuse at 73.
Neither has been a regular foe for 20 years.

Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Bill O'Brien said he would be all for a Penn State-Pitt football rivalry again.
I'll keep the history short: In the early 1980s, Joe Paterno, visionary that he was, worked hard to start an Eastern all-sports conference - a league that would include Pitt.
The Big East was already up and running, and the league had voted down a motion to accept Penn State (Paterno said PSU wasn't interested in just a basketball conference). Shortly thereafter, in 1982, Pitt was voted in.
Big East assistant commissioner Mike Tranghese said, "We will rue the day," Penn State wasn't accepted, and, history shows us, he was so, so right.
Paterno never forgave Pitt, and he had the power to end the annual series in 1992. Other than a four-game resumption (1997-2000), the teams have not met in 12 years and won't until 2016, when a home-and-home is back on the schedule.
Regardless of whom is to blame for ending the greatest rivalry either school has ever known - the feeling here remains that both sides were blinded by a lack of leadership in this emotional issue - there is no doubt neither has fully replaced the other.
There are big games on Penn State's schedule, certainly. Ohio State is at the top of the list followed by Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan when it's on the schedule and Iowa.
But Pitt was more than a big game. It was not only a rivalry but an event in Pennsylvania - especially western Pennsylvania, from Altoona well past the Ohio border.
Bill O'Brien knows.
While growing up in New England as a Penn State fan, he remembers watching the game and getting caught up as it was growing into one of the nation's top rivalries.
From 1976 through 1986, and especially from 1978 through '82, it had a say in deciding the national championship.
O'Brien would like to see it return, maybe even every year.
"I was part of the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry for eight years [as a Tech assistant] so I know how important those inter-state rivalries are to college football," he said Friday. "And growing up as a Penn State fan, I remember those November Penn State-Pitt games where it was snowing - either at Pitt Stadium or here at Beaver Stadium - and those were great games. I'm all for that rivalry.
"I think it helps college football and football in Pennsylvania. I think people in Pennsylvania would like to see it."
It was my hope that Paterno's successor would embrace this exact position on the Pitt series.
I know times have changed, and the teams are in different leagues with Penn State in the Big Ten and Pitt now in the ACC, and it's highly uncertain it can happen, let alone annually.
But for the first time since the 1980s, at least Penn State has a desire.
The Big Ten is considering beginning a nine-game conference schedule in 2017, and the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences have agreed to start a regular-season series between their teams the same year.
That could leave as few as two non-conference games.
O'Brien is also interested a high-profile intersectional game early and has mentioned Alabama, Southern Cal and Stanford as potential possibilities, "Whether it's a neutral site or here - maybe it's at Met-Life Stadium or Fed-Ex Field or Gillette Stadium," he said, "playing a traditional power, I think, would be great for college football."
He was asked about Notre Dame and was equally enthused.
"Notre Dame? Of course," he said. "I think it would be a great series. I think it would be great to play Notre Dame every year."
Such an aggressive non-conference approach would stoke alumni who are too used to seeing a steady diet of Temple and Mid-American fare before the Big Ten starts.
"I think it [marquee games] helps with our alumni, with our fans, with recruiting," O'Brien said. "Obviously you've got to go out and win those games. I don't want to play Alabama and Notre Dame every single week, but I think those are good rivalries we should talk about in the future."
O'Brien is quick to point out he hasn't discussed scheduling much with his superiors and isn't sure how they might feel about it. Penn State football has always carried the financial burden for the entire athletic department, but what we've experienced since Nov. 5 shows there was a cost for that overreliance.
The Lions' schedule is set through 2015.
O'Brien also knows PSU vs. Pitt would no longer be a regular-season finale, but added, "It would have to be early, but that's OK."
Down the hall from O'Brien in the Lasch Building, Fran Ganter was getting in a noonish workout on the treadmill. Ganter is the Lions' associate athletic director for football and does the legwork on the scheduling.
He knows the luster from the Pitt series has dimmed, but not to the oldtimers who have filled Beaver Stadium since it moved from Beaver Field.
"I think a lot of people are excited about it," Ganter said of the series resumption. "I'm from Pittsburgh [Bethel Park], and I grew up watching and rooting for Penn State in the Pitt-Penn State game, and I remember all the great games we've had here.
"Things have changed in that once we got in the Big Ten, rivalries and traditions changed. [But] for an older guy like myself, there is more to this game than perhaps a 28-year-old Penn State alum who may not appreciate the great games and the great rivalries and all the great coaches Pitt had and great players. I'm excited for the two games we're going to play. Where we go from there, Coach O'Brien is still trying to develop scheduling philosophy for the future."
Ganter was a running back on Paterno's first great stretch (1968-70) and then spent his entire career, from 1973 through today, in coaching and football administration.
He was asked if Pitt was his favorite opponent along the way.
"Yes," he said, puffing and sweating. "No question."
Among the Nittany Nation, that is a majority vote.

Ah, love to see that attack and energy from Osmond. Great start. Love that we have a young Canadian lady with a lot of potential and who really seems like a competitor.
Ah, love to see that attack and energy from Osmond. Great start. Love that we have a young Canadian lady with a lot of potential and who really seems like a competitor.
Didn't catch her skate, unfortunately - but she seems happy in Kiss&Cry
Score: 60.56 (PB) and into 1st
Wow, what did she land?
Aw she looks delighted. 60.56... amazing score.
Guys, don't be alarmed that all the skaters look bigger - I think that part of that is the aspect ratio of the stream. It makes everything wider and shorter.
Gracie GOLD (USA)
Music: Hernando's Hideaway
Red asymmetric dress w/ silver details. Open back
3F+3T - stepout/hand down
2A - hard fall
Not her best skate... She has good attack though
Aww - poor gracie - fall on 3F-3T and 2A
No rippon lutz
Issue with centering on her final spin as well
All Gold's jumps were or looked tilted on the stream. I'm amazed she landed as much as she did. Really she looked kind of out of control for parts of this. I wonder if she was nervous.
Gracie is stunning, too bad about the jumps.
I don't think the first will be counted as a fall but could be wrong.
She did 3T-3T 3F 2A but 27 on the components is to much...inflated for the canadians as always!
Unrelated to her skating in any way but Gracie is VERY pretty.
Impressive skate by Osmond, I was very impressed by how detailed her choreography is at such young age. Her jumps were all preceded by difficult connecting steps / moves, which add to their complexity and GOE as well. Canada may have found its next queen on ice.
SP score: 52.19, and into 2nd
She had deduction for 1 fall

PlusNews Reviews AVAC Priorities for 2013 HIV Prevention Agenda
December 14, 2012
"If the world scales-up HIV treatment and prevention in the next two years, a critical tipping point -- in which those on treatment outnumber those newly infected with the virus -- could be reached, according to the global HIV prevention advocacy organization AVAC," PlusNews reports. The news service "breaks down the issues likely to top the HIV prevention agenda in the coming year," including better defining "combination prevention" for country- and local-level needs, preparing for new voluntary medical male circumcision methods, and protecting HIV prevention research funding (12/13).

Pro-gun militia group rallies at Capitol
Rally sponsored by Oklahoma Defense Force
About 80 people -- many of them armed -- rallied outside the Oklahoma Capitol in support of gun rights.
The rally Friday was sponsored by the Oklahoma Defense Force, a group of gun rights supporters that includes a self-described militia led by Ron Cross - who says the group has about 300 members.
Cross urged action against what he calls government's hostility against gun rights. He says they should organize to oppose any proposal to restrict the right to keep and bear arms.
Among those attending is former Republican state Rep. Charles Key, who said in 2010 that he supported creating a state militia.
A law allowing residents with a handgun license to openly carry weapons was approved last year and many at the rally had their guns on display.

Orange Regional Medical Center offers patients an Open Bore, 1.5 Tesla, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. This new technology combines a larger bore, or opening, and can capture top-quality diagnostic images. A wider range of area patients will benefit from this new service. Prior to this advanced technology, medically obese patients who could not fit inside the bore of a high-field MRI magnet, causing image studies to be conducted in open MRI systems with low-field magnets. This limited the diagnostic usefulness of the images obtained. The strength of a magnet is measured in units of Tesla. Orange Regional's new MRI system has a high Tesla magnet, meaning that images produced will be superior to those of a lower Tesla magnet.
The Open Bore MRI at Orange Regional Medical Center is great for claustrophobic patients with an opening of nearly 2.3 feet in diameter and approximately one foot of free space between a patient's head and the magnet. The MRI also features the shortest 1.5 Tesla magnet available allowing more than 60 percent of exams to be completed with the patient's head outside of the bore. These important features mean that virtually all claustrophobic patients can be scanned in comfort. To schedule your test with the Open Bore MRI, call 1-866-ORMC-TEST (1-866-676-2837).

To say Tina Fey is in no rush to learn the sex of her second baby is an understatement.
The Bossypants author and 30 Rock star, 40, who recently revealed her pregnancy to Oprah Winfrey, says that she and her husband, composer Jeffrey Richmond, 51, have decided to wait to discover their expected child's gender. For 17 years.
"We're going to find out … never," Fey told Ellen DeGeneres for an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Tuesday.
"Not even after it's born?" asked the host.
"I'm just going to see what it chooses to wear to prom," kidded Fey.
The multiple Emmy-winner, who is already mom to daughter Alice, 5, also called her second pregnancy "easy."
"Because now I'm [an] 'oldie,' 'olderson,' " Fey tells DeGeneres. "I have what they call 'advanced maternal age.' They look at me like I'm just going to explode. They treat me very gingerly."

Several people believe that any non-Windows system is secure and doesn't need the aid of additional software to ward off viruses. This is far from the truth and a major reason why more viruses are being written for the system.

GMail, Yahoo mail, and Hotmail all have wonderful checking software.Check the files for viruses yourself.You can install a program called ClamAV. Install the package. It won't appear in the menu. Run it by getting to a command-line and type in "clamscan -h" to get some help on how to run it. If you really need to use a gui front-end and don't like the command-line then just install "clamtk".

A three-member arbitration panel has unanimously cleared Typhoon! of human trafficking charges in a 2008 lawsuit involving a former cook, the restaurant announced Friday. But the ruling did award the cook $260,000 for discrimination on the basis of national origin and other issues.
A spokesman for a state agency investigating the Thai restaurant chain for alleged unfair labor practices noted it was not a complete vindication of the company, and a separate issue than the state's ongoing probe.
Trafficking was the most prominent claim in Sarinya Reabroy?s lawsuit, "which garnered extraordinary negative publicity and chilled sales for the restaurant group," said a news release issued by the restaurant chain, which includes a restaurant in Bend..
?The unanimous ruling was a complete denial of the human trafficking claim, which demonized Typhoon! as participants in modern slavery and indentured servitude,? said Steve Kline, managing director of Typhoon! ?The resulting harmful publicity hurt business, discouraged regular customers from returning and generated an outpouring of negative sentiment against Typhoon! across the internet.?
They said the panel cleared the company of five of eight claims, including Sexual Harassment, Retaliation, Aiding and Abetting, and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. The panel decided in favor of Reabroy on three of the eight claims reviewed: National Origin Discrimination, Workers Compensation Discrimination, and a Wage and Hour claim.
The chairman of the arbitration panel dissented on the two larger awards. These include awards of $100,000 for National Origin Discrimination and $150,000 for Workers Compensation Discrimination.
Chairman Rob Shlachter said in his opinion that Reabroy failed to meet her burden of establishing the charges or the fact that any damages resulted from them. The discrimination award was based primarily on five ?unfair or onerous? clauses in a 12-page employee contract.
The panel also unanimously awarded Reabroy $18,150.74 for back overtime and damages. "The decision appears to have been based heavily on the failure of the kitchen manager to correct the hours and payroll after she warned cooks to stop working off the clock and sign in," the news release said.
"While the Klines believe the awards to Reabroy are unreasonably high, they?re pleased to see the human trafficking allegation resolved," the statement continued.
Steve Kline noted that Reabroy later denied making many of the statements attributed to her regarding the trafficking claims, ?but it was long after the damage had been done.?
?This outrageous human trafficking claim has been kicking our company around for a long time,? said Kline, a former screenwriter of such series as Lou Grant and The Cosby Show. ?We survived the worst of the recession,? Kline said, ?but it?s been a lot harder trying to survive these false accusations.?
?It?s been especially difficult for our staff, many of whom have been with us almost since the day we opened more than 15 years ago. One cook has brought over nine members of his family to work as cooks for Typhoon!,? Kline said. ?Two of them are moms who encouraged their daughters, who are also cooks, to work with us. I find it hard to believe that mothers would invite their daughters to work for a company that abuses them.?
The co-founder of the company said he hoped the arbitrators? ruling would inspire guests to return to Typhoon! which recently shut its newest restaurant, in West Linn, blaming the cloud over the organization due to a state Bureau of Labor and Industries claim the restaurants exploit Thai workers.
Bob Estabrook, a spokesman for BOLI, because it is a different legal process than the BOLI complaint, Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian -- who Kline claimed was acting politically in his plans to run for Congress -- probably can't comment on the ruling.
But speaking for the office, Estabrook said, "While this case is separate from BOLI's investigation and is being settled in a separate legal forum, it's interesting that the arbitrators' decision seems to support the results of BOLI's investigation, awarding more than $260,000 to the worker for national origin discrimination, wage and hour violations and other charges."

Ball State Men's Golf Lands Three In-State Standouts
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State men's golf team signed three Indiana high school standouts to National Letters of Intent during the NCAA's recent early signing period.
Quentyn Carpenter (Bourbon, Ind./Triton), Keegan McKinney (Avon, Ind./Avon) and Jon Schram (Warsaw, Ind./Warsaw Community) will each compete as high school seniors in the spring and then join the Cardinals for the 2013-14 academic year.
"We think this is a great class," Ball State coach Mike Fleck said. "We were able to attract three of the top golfers in the state of Indiana. With what we are losing to graduation in the spring, this class has an opportunity to come in and contribute right away, which is exciting."
Carpenter has competed in the Indiana state finals twice. He finished in the top 25 both times, including a tie for 14th as a freshman in 2010. A three-time All-Northern State Conference selection, Carpenter finished his junior season with a 74.9 stroke average. He owns the single-round scoring record at Triton Junior-Senior High School with a 5-under par 65.
Earlier this fall, Carpenter won the Golfweek Junior Tour event at Delaware Country Club in Muncie. A member of the National Honor Society, he plays high school golf for his father Jack Carpenter at Triton and is the cousin of former Ball State golfer and current graduate assistant coach T.J. Carpenter.
McKinney is a three-time all-county and three-time All-Hoosier Crossroads Conference selection in just three seasons for coach Tom Maples at Avon High School. He was champion of the Martinsville Sectional in 2010 and the Center Grove Regional in 2011, advancing to the state finals both years. He tied for 16th at the 2011 state finals.
Last summer, McKinney qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur and competed in the Junior PGA Championship. A two-time Avon team MVP who has numerous wins on junior tours, McKinney is ranked among the top 100 in the class of 2013 by Golfweek.
Schram has helped Warsaw Community High School and coach Ben Barkey to appearances in the state finals in each of his first three seasons. He finished eighth individually in last year's state tournament and earned all-state honors. A two-time All-Northern Lakes Conference selection, he logged a 74.8 scoring average as a junior.
Schram was named a Future Collegiate World Tour All-American and has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the state and No. 89 in the nation among the class of 2013 in the American Junior Golf Association rankings. He is a former high school teammate of current Ball State freshman Tyler Ostrom, and he will be the fourth Warsaw golfer to compete for the Cardinals.

Hospitality industry
The opening of the Hampton Inn in New Albany adds significantly to the city's hospitality industry and the tax revenue it generates for our area.
The 84-room hotel, owned by Ascent of Dalton, Ga., is a welcome addition to the cluster of hotels at the busy U.S. 78 interchange with Highway 30 West in New Albany. It joins the Holiday Inn Express, the Comfort Inn and the Economy Inn at that location.
The hotel is a new prototype model of Hampton Inns that has a decidedly upscale look and feel. It also is entirely smoke-free.
The project exhibits confidence on the part of developers that the New Albany economy will trend up as the new Toyota and its suppliers plants open in the region.
The new hotel also shows the confidence that BNA Bank has in the hospitality market here. The bank provided both the construction and the long-term financing for the project.
John Tampa, president of Ascent, said, said he appreciates the support of the city, the community and the bank for the project:
"We chose New Albany because it is a good growth community and we think that businesses will continue to grow here."
He also predicted that the hospitality business in New Albany will be helped by the voters' decision to allow the sale of beer and light wine in the city and that more restaurants will locate here.
Tampa currently operates 14 hotels under the Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Fairfield Inn and Holiday Inn Express labels. New Albany is the first hotel he has opened in Mississippi, but others are planned, he said.
We welcome the hotel and its general manager, Jennifer Henderson, to the community. It's yet another sign of the progress of the hospitality industry in New Albany.

Having settled in the Balkans in the early 7th century, the Croats have had a long and rich history. Croatia offers a mix of old world Eastern European charm and relaxing Mediterranean atmosphere. Visitors will not only enjoy the incredible architecture and the old buildings that have survived throughout the centuries, but also the magnificent natural settings of forests, lakes, mountains, and the hundreds of islands off the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. The beauty of the Croatian coastline with its coastal Renaissance towns attracts millions of visitors from all over the world.
The official language of Croatia is Croatian, which is very similar to Polish and Czech. Many Croatians speak English as a second
The official currency of Croatia is the kuna (HRK). One kuna is divided into 100 lipa. The exchange rate as of July 2010 is 5.55 kunas to US$1.
Credit cards are widely accepted at the major hotels and restaurants and there are ATMs throughout the major cities.
In most cases, tip and taxes are usually included in your bill so tipping is not necessary. However, it would be appropriate to tip if you have a large group or excellent service.
Spending more that 500 kunas allows you to be eligible for a PDV (VAT) tax return when leaving the country. When you make your purchase, ask the salesperson for a PDV-P form, fill it out, and have it stamped by them.
