Palm today held a special event to announce its answer to Apple's popular iPhone and finally bring the company into the modern era of smartphones. Palm is starting with a blank slate thanks to a new operating system and a new smartphone which aims to please.
Palm started off with a new way of thinking -- as Palm Executive Chairman Ron Rubinstein stated, "Mobile is in our DNA." Palm's new efforts don't revolve around the desktop as a tethering device or "home base" -- instead, Palm is looking to connect to the "cloud" of information online. Palm hopes to achieve this with its brand new webOS operating system. According to Rubinstein, anyone who can program for HTML, CSS, or JavaScript will feel right at home with webOS. The purpose of the webOS is to focus on "Your People, Your Time, and Your Critical Information".
Tying Palm's new philosophy to mobile telephony and the new webOS together is the new Palm pre phone. Palm's 4.8-ounce pre aims to right the wrongs of its competitors while at the same time adding a few new twists of its own. The pre features EvDO Rev A, Stereo Bluetooth (a feature oft-requested from iPhone owners), 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, a fast OMAP processor, accelerometer, 3.0MP camera with an LED flash, and 8GB of internal storage.
The device features a 3.1" display with a 320x480 screen resolution. It also has a single, center button at the bottom of the device and a Gesture Area which provides direct access to the OS. Instead of a proprietary dock connector, the pre uses a microUSB connector located on the right side of the device and can be used as a USB Mass Storage Device. At the top of the device is a power button, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a ringer switch.
Palm's Matias Duarte took more than a few jabs at the feature set of the iPhone and talked about how no one wants to use a finicky onscreen keyboard. Duarte then went on to show the pre's keyboard which slides out from the bottom of the device. Duarte also pointed to a feature that was implemented by "popular request": a removable battery. And speaking of the battery, the pre is charged using an innovative wireless "Touchstone" charging dock. You simply place the dock on your desk, plug it into the wall, then place your pre on top of the dock. The device is held in place thanks to magnets built into the dock – there is no need to plug the pre directly into in an AC adapter.
Martias also went into great detail about the webOS and the numerous gesture-based commands available on the pre. I cannot possibly cover every single feature in this space, but here are a few highlights:
Sprint will be a launch partner for the pre. The pre will be available the first half of 2009 exclusively from Sprint. Pricing is not available at this time.
quote: Task-based, not app-based By ditching the app + window paradigm (which the iPhone still essentially uses) in favor of a card paradigm, Palm was able to invent a truly task-based interface that lets you use the interface to do things, instead of using apps to do things. Let me give an example. Instead of having multiple communications apps on the phone, any of which you can use to carry on a conversation via multiple services, you just open up a single chat card with that user. That chat card hosts a continuous stream of conversation that combines SMS messages and IM in a single, seamless interface and chat experience. That way, the focus is on the conversation, and not the medium (SMS, Gtalk, iChat, AIM, etc.). It's very nice, in an "I want to be able to do that right now on my iPhone" kind of way. Palm has saddled this fantastic approach with an overused buzzword-turned-name: synergy. But, in light of how compelling both the idea and the implementation seem to be (at least based on this staged demo), the annoying name is a minor issue.

Nice little ropin dummy, definately for ground work not from the horse. Thats why there are no hooks for dragging. Over all very nice product and easy to take from rodeo to rodeo. A Must have for the team ropers!
I bought this roping dummy. I like it & it's easy to change the head on it. What I find to be an issue is that there's no hook to drag it by so I had to rig something up. It kept wanting to try to tip when dragged. It's great to use from the ground, is light & very portable. From my horse it feels a little short when trying to rope but then not all cattle are the same size.

Mulhern Named President & CEO of NMPF Starting in 2014
Mulhern Named President & CEO of NMPF Starting in 2014
Chief Operating Officer to Assume New Role Next Year; Kozak to Continue to Lead CWT Efforts
Chief Operating Officer to Assume New Role Next Year; Kozak to Continue to Lead CWT Efforts
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) announced today that Chief Operating Officer Jim Mulhern will take over as President & Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2014. Mulhern has been appointed by the NMPF Board of Directors to fill the position held by Jerry Kozak since 1997. Earlier this year, Kozak had informed the Board of his desire to retire on December 31, 2013.
"We are very excited to have such a knowledgeable and capable leader at the head of our team in the coming years. The importance of experience cannot be underestimated in a complex industry like ours," said NMPF Chairman Randy Mooney, a dairy producer from Rogersville, MO.
"Jim's impressive and extensive track record working on dairy issues made him the ideal choice to be the next President and CEO of NMPF."
Mulhern joined NMPF in January 2013, and since that time has managed the communications, government relations, and membership functions of the organization. His appointment as COO marked a return to NMPF; he had directed the organization's government relations program earlier in his career.
A Portage, Wisconsin native, Mulhern came to Washington, DC, to work on Capitol Hill in 1983. Following his service at NMPF in the mid-1980s, he returned to Capitol Hill to serve as Chief of Staff for Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl. Mulhern also worked in senior management positions for Fleishman-Hillard, the Fratelli Group and Watson/Mulhern LLC. During this period, he maintained a close relationship with the dairy industry and NMPF by working as a consultant on numerous projects.
"I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to lead a membership organization that has meant so much to me throughout my career. I look forward to building further upon the relationships and successes of the past, but with a clear focus on addressing the challenges to dairy farming's future," said Mulhern.
NMPF also announced that after retiring as President & CEO Dec. 31st, Jerry Kozak will continue his involvement with the organization's Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) program, which provides export assistance to its member cooperatives. He will oversee CWT's program and administrative operations and will report directly to Mulhern.
"We are very pleased that Jerry will be available to help us manage the CWT program in the days ahead," said Mooney. "CWT has been a critical factor behind the phenomenal growth in American dairy exports over the past few years, and we appreciate that Jerry's commitment to its success will continue after this year."
The National Milk Producers Federation, based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance the well-being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF's 30 cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of more than 32,000 dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies.

MARTINSBURG - There's nothing like a good burn.
At Finn Thai Restaurant and Bar, you get exactly that.
Perhaps the one thing that comes through in the food at Finn Thai is a signature spicy, yet sweet, essence. The biggest selling points for the food at Finn are its authenticity and, of course, the exotic flavors.

A plate of Firecracker Chicken is shown at Finn Thai Restaurant in Martinsburg.
The diversity offered on the menu at Finn Thai Restaurant and Bar is outstanding. There's something for everyone.
If you prefer vegetarian fare, there are 10 items available, including steak dishes, seafood, chicken and even tofu.
The food is excellent and the presentation is outstanding. This establishment is the perfect intersection of looks and taste.
Some of the dishes sampled were the spring rolls, Drunken Noodles, Firecracker Chicken and the Fried Rice Mania.
The spring rolls are a thing of beauty. When they come to your table, you almost have reservations about messing up such a great presentation - almost. At $5, it's hard to go wrong with this appetizer. It's a good way to start.
The absolute star of the meal was the Drunken Noodles. The flavor was sweet, spicy and remarkably satisfying. The texture of the noodles was also perfect. It's easy to tell they were homemade. Once you have this dish, you will want more.
At Finn, spicy dishes are listed on the menu as American Spicy and Thai Spicy, with the Thai Spicy dishes having more heat. The Drunken Noodles are listed as a dish that's Thai Spicy. They have some heat, and it's such a good heat.
The Fried Rice Mania has a nice texture with wonderfully seasoned strips of chicken. This dish, also listed as Thai Spicy, is a party in your mouth.
The Firecracker Chicken is a spicy take on a Thai chicken dish. Listed as American Spicy, it delivers some heat, but not too much. It's a good dish if you're looking for a little bit of heat, but still want to play it conservatively.
The beauty of this place is that regardless of what the listings are for the heat of the dishes, it's hard to be disappointed. Even the spiciest dishes are delicious. Even though there's heat, you never lose the flavor.
The atmosphere at Finn Thai is upscale and intimate, but not stuffy.
The menu is varied as far as pricing goes. The highest-priced entree is $18, while others are anywhere from $10-$15. Appetizers go from $4-$8.
Finn Thai is located at 748 Foxcroft Ave. in Martinsburg. It is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
For more information, call the restaurant at 304-262-2200 or visit finnthai.com.

Fish is a good source of protein and, unlike fatty meat products, it's not high in saturated fat. Fish is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids decrease risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which can lead to sudden death. Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque, and lower blood pressure (slightly).
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 ounce cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption through foods is preferable. However, those with coronary artery disease, may not get enough omega-3 by diet alone. These people may want to talk to their doctor about supplements. And for those with high triglycerides, even larger doses could help.
Patients taking more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids from capsules should do so only under a physician's care. High intakes could cause excessive bleeding in some people. Check out Fish 101 for specific consumption recommendations.
Eating fish, is there a catch? Some types of fish may contain high levels of mercury, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins and other environmental contaminants. Levels of these substances are generally highest in older, larger, predatory fish and marine mammals.
The benefits and risks of eating fish vary depending on a person's stage of life.
Children and pregnant women are advised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to avoid eating those fish with the potential for the highest level of mercury contamination (e.g., shark, swordfish, king mackerel or tilefish); to eat up to 12 ounces (two average meals) per week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury (e.g., canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, catfish); and check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in local lakes, rivers and coastal areas.
For middle-aged and older men and postmenopausal women, the benefits of fish consumption far outweigh the potential risks when the amount of fish are eaten is within the recommendations established by the FDA and Environmental Protection Agency.
Eating a variety of fish will help minimize any potentially adverse effects due to environmental pollutants.
Five of the most commonly eaten fish or shellfish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish. Avoid eating shark, swordfish, king Mackerel, or tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury. Check out Fish 101 for amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and mercury levels for the top 10 fish and shellfish in the United States. Also check out frequently asked questions by consumers.
Tips for Cooking Fish
Enjoy fish baked or grilled, not fried. Be sure to choose low-sodium, low-fat seasonings such as spices, herbs, lemon juice and other flavorings in cooking and at the table.

A federal judge wants to know, and know soon, if Erie County's district attorney is going to charge Ronald Epps with the murder of his fiancee.
Epps has been indicted by a federal grand jury that accused him of killing Angela Moss in 2009 as part of a scheme to collect on her life insurance policy.
U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. is overseeing the insurance fraud case against Epps but wants to know if the Amherst man will face state murder charges before moving forward on the fraud case.
"I'm not going to hold this court hostage," Schroeder said of the district attorney Thursday.
The question of whether Epps, who was engaged to and living with Moss, will face a murder charge was first raised last week when federal prosecutors announced a seven-count indictment against him.
The indictment accuses Epps of shooting Moss in the back of the head on the night of Aug. 28, 2009, and leaving her along California Road, near the Orchard Park nursing home where she worked.
At the time of the indictment, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. said he had talked with the District Attorney's Office about the case and the potential for murder charges against Epps.
Hochul also indicated that there was no federal murder charge that would apply in the case.
District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said he could not comment on any possible investigations into Epps but said his office's policy is to pursue charges against someone if and when it receives evidence of a crime.
"When the District Attorney's Office is provided sufficient evidence, we present that evidence to a grand jury," Sedita said Thursday.
Epps, 44, was arraigned on the federal fraud charges Thursday and entered a plea of not guilty.
Epps did not challenge the prosecution's efforts to keep him locked up. He's currently in state custody because of a prior conviction.
When the federal indictment against Epps was announced last week, law enforcement officials said they hoped it would end one of the region's most- high-profile cold cases and give the Moss family some closure.
Moss' family was in the courtroom Thursday but declined to comment, except to say that they are "still waiting" to hear about possible murder charges against Epps.
The grand jury indictment against Epps claims the fraud began when Moss made him the primary beneficiary of her $100,000 life insurance policy, which he tried to collect on just days after she was murdered.

Sleepless in Hollywood by Lynda Obst, Simon and Schuster, 283 pages, $26. On Page 132 of this book, we learn that Nora Ephron – the "best writer" Lynda Obst knew before Ephron's death and Obst's "dearest friend" – thought that Lisa Kudrow was a genius. "And, in fact, [she] is," adds Obst.
If you understand that as the purview you're spending almost 300 pages with here, you'll find producer Obst's "Sleepless in Hollywood" nothing if not informative and instructional about present-day Hollywood and perhaps even revelatory.
Her subtitle is "Tales From the New Abnormal." She explains, "Hollywood is never actually normal. … Famous hairdressers, notable Israeli gunrunners, Russian gangsters, mothers who score on their daughters' successfully leaked sex-taped escapades, and Harvard grads who chase Hip-Hop stars and Laker Girls make a unique kind of melting pot … It's an equal opportunity exploiter of talent."
Where "lying is a continual job skill," a producer can't expect to even know who's funding her films. Obst's film "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" was, she discovered, financed not by Paramount but by "a lovely guy named Winnie who ran a German tax shelter. I found this out on the set when Winnie introduced himself to me and told me that Paramount had sold off their domestic and international box office rights to him to fund the relatively low cost of the movie ($40 million.)"
So the Old Abnormal became the New Abnormal. And a former New York Times copy editor like Obst will certainly be adequate to the tale – and even inspired at times. But with a book by the producer of "Adventures in Babysitting, and "Hope Floats" (as well as Ephron's films, "Contact," "The Siege" and the TV show "Hot in Cleveland"), you'll quickly understand that a smart eyewitness isn't quite the same thing as an entirely sympathetic protagonist. It's nice to know, I must say, that she envisions, at the end, "new alternatives to watch" and "fresh ideas" from all this "wild and woolly narrowcasting."
I'm not sure how convincing that willl be for anyone, though.

LG Optimus LTE2 breaks cover: the first phone with 2GB of RAM

The LG Optimus LTE2 is a monster phone, but while we all anticipated the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Optimus LTE2 came out of the blue and struck us with specifications…

This is undoubtedly a surprise. If it has a quad-core or an S4 chip then it's really gonna be a contender for the smartphone crown. Couple this with a Camera better than 8MP, and the TrueHD screen and this will surely be a tough phone to beat.

When I saw the headline, I was about to have an org***!!! Disappointed that if true, LG's going to be setting the stones for a true, high-end smartphone, something with 2GB of RAM and a minimum dual-core. I was hoping for Samsung to at least bump up the RAM, out in a higher MP rear and front camera, change the display tech... I also like the boxier phone design of the LG's than the way too curve SGIII... LG's planning on having a wireless charging system wh/Samsung is bringing us... Android market is really competitive amongst themselves... The Android OS is fragmented along w/the various manufacturers and their phones supporting Android...

No offense guys, but the Motorola Atrix was one of the first with 1GB RAM and Dual Core and it still kinda sucked because of the UI (at first, not anymore by 2.3) so LG needs to show something to us first before we start with this hype again. LG Optimus 2X sucked for me.
and what's up with all the SGS3 hate? It's an upgrade to the SII, not the Nexus and Samsung has really done a good job with Touchwiz and all that. When the SII came out, there was not much hype and fun over it but give it time and you'll see the full potential. It may not be the phone for geeks like us, but I'm sure it will lead the way in sales and all that because everyone knows Samsung is the anti-iPhone.

LG was the first with dual core, not Motorola. Motorola might have sold it in the states first, but worldwide, LG was first

The SGS2 already has desktop pc specs in it. Granted, an old desktop\netbook PC, but still.
The smartphone is the new PC. Something that Apple keeps ignoring.

lol at people saying rip...watch when sale figures come out and the s3 wipes the floor with this and one x...ie not saying the s3 is the best but it certainly is the most recognised out of the android crowd....lg were the 1st with dual core and 3d and it shows being 1st doesnt mean success...serious note dont think we need quad or 2gb ram but hey why not :)

So much for all of that galaxy crap.
This thing will also run on S4 Pro - much better processor than the Exynos in Galaxy SIII.
Now it looks like LG and Sony will be the best androids to buy this summer..although there is so much more to a good product than just specs. But I believe they both learned their lessons.

wat do u people think, samsung can also have taken that step but its not required, samsung wud have definitely introduced such large amt of ram if reqd............and btw before buying this optimus lte2, u shud consider the late updating track of lg, their poor cameras in their mobiles,their poor Services......
39. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
sour grapes. just cant handle the fact that LG outdid Samsung at last
53. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
s3 will sell more...lets not forget lg were also 1st to do dual core and 3d and that didnt help them much...people dont put lg and good phones together.
66. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
of cos the Samsung will sell more. Samsung has the branding and has been on android longer than LG, so naturally ppl will think Samsung is better because of its experience. and also this phone is starting out in korea only, so it will take a longer time to achieve a high sales figure
not yet, but this phone could change things
9. cGmC11 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Apr 2012)
Take note Samsung...this phone is True HD "RGB" have 2GB RAM and for the look better quality materials.
The only downside is that LG take two years updating its hansets.

25. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
1.2 gb RAM is enough at present.
But with 2 gb of RAM, your phone will last much longer and you won't have to replace that frequently.

Well it certainly looks less ugly and more appealing than the Galaxy 3. Well done for the 2GB RAM
21. garz_pa (Posts: 154; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
It may have 2GB RAM, but it doesn't mean it can surpass the processing power of the sIII.
33. medicci37 (Posts: 1278; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Will probably have the same processor as the US version of the sg3. So it probably will be more powerful. Definitely won't be as disappointing !!!!!
36. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
even if it cant beat the processing power (which we still dont know), the LG will beat the GS3 in multitasking
70. garz_pa (Posts: 154; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Who does heavy multi-tasking on a phone? Yes, this LG looks promising, but design-wise it looks so....... dull. And boring. At least the iPhone 4 has curves.
88. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
even if u dont, the phone will be smoother the SGS3. processing power is not everything

LG finally making the right moves! amazing phone! looks so much better than the S3. 2GB of RAM? WOOHOOOOO!!!!! and look at those specs! seems to me, LG left no stone unturned. Congrats LG!! u finally made a Samsung killer! Go LG go!!!

apparently 2 people. and perhaps, i could be trying to say that Samsung doesn't even have the decency to put a decent amount of RAM in their own computer, what more can we expect from their phones?
92. Atrixboyyy (Posts: 348; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Are you serious? Last year everybody was whining why do I need a gb of ram my phones not a computer blah blah blah now that there's a phone with 2gb of ram a gb is no longer acceptable? No I know why many of you were dissatisfied with the actual specs of the GSIII.
This is not ironman phones are not transparent hologram projecting, 3gb of ram, 98mpx camera
And a 1080p rgb screen thin enough to slip in the crease of your door when your locked out who
ile also be made out of wolverines metalic bones don't overhype it to only be let down.
Lastly what LG phone that's come out lately was as powerful as the gs2 the revolution? Ahh doesn't matter you'll still overhype this then be pissed when you buy it.
29. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
go LG go LG go, i just hope the screen is 4,5 inch, although 4,3 inch 720p true HD IPS LCD is not by any means a bad thing!

and see lg is now pushing hardware limits...................
SONY is far better than LG............their phones have KILLER LOOKS, their mobile cameras r also very gud, they r gud in softwares too .....for eg. capturing photo from sleep mode in just 1.3 sec.......... they are creative too like the transparent strip in XPERIA NXT SERIES and color changing strip in xperia u...............imo sony is gonna get past samsung in 2013

LG Optimus Black was first

They wax eloquently: The Purpose of Theta Xi is provide a college home environment for its active members in which fellowship and alumni guidance lead to wholesome mental, moral, physical, and spiritual growth.
With that said, Theta Xi (ΘΞ) was the first social fraternity at UC Davis. The local chapter, Beta Epsilon, has initiated exactly 1254 members as of March 2016, with another associate member class scheduled to cross before the end of Spring quarter. As of now, Theta Xi has 60 active members, drawing from a large variety of majors, nationalities and beliefs.
The chapter owns all three houses on 1st Street between D Street and E Street. Since the fraternity owns its houses outright with no mortgage, it reduces membership dues while increasing the budget for activities, including philanthropy, social events, and brother bonding activities.
On top of having the most active social calendar, Theta Xi has been extremely active on campus. Theta Xi brothers received 2nd, 4th, and 5th overall at the 2015 Kappa Dash. They were also the 2012 Greek Week Champions with Kappa Kappa Gamma, won Alpha Phi's King of Hearts in 2012 and were the 2006 Greek Week Champions with Delta Gamma. Members consistently find themselves in leadership positions at UC Davis such as in ASUCD and the California Aggie.
Theta Xi has a heart: the chapter has an annual fund raising event for Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, the fraternity has thrown two philanthropy concerts starring Andre Nickatina.

2009 Concert Controversy
In the past, Theta Xi has held several successful concerts, providing venues for Mac Dre and other local rappers such as Andre Nickatina. In the Spring of 2009, they were associated with a failed event that left ticketholders looking for a refund amid a few weeks of uncertainty and confusion regarding who was responsible.
Theta Xi helped sponsor a fundraiser concert titled "E-40 Live at Theta Xi" with part of the proceeds benefiting Habitat For Humanity and the Breast Cancer Foundation. E-40 is a Bay Area rapper who has performed throughout Northern California, and the concert was scheduled for the weekend of April 24th (anybody know the exact date?). However, less than a week before the event was to take place on Saturday, April 25, Theta Xi announced the cancellation of the event through Facebook.com with no reason stated. At that point, the Facebook contact for the event, Jeffrey List said that the Fraternity would be handling all refunds. Jeffery List, however, was a concert promoter, not a member of the fraternity. Ticket broker EventBrite and PayPal became involved, and a large number of Davis locals wound up being very concerned, pointing fingers at various groups, including the fraternity.
As the controversy continued, an article appeared in the Aggie that added more fuel to the fire. The Davis Police Department announced that they had invalidated the noise permit because it was applied on the basis of having local DJs, rather than a live performance by E-40, who has been banned in some NorCal venues for his "occasionally violent following" (2009-04-30 Aggie). 6trees entertainment company had been a major force behind the event, and they claimed the social chair from Theta Xi texted him a notice that they were canceling the event just a few days before the concert. Dallas Imbimbo of 6trees said that Theta Xi had broken "almost every single section of the contract they signed with us", and the article noted that the concert cost "$20,000, $3,000 of which 6trees payed[sic] of out of their own pocket." (2009-04-30 Aggie) In addition to the various official comments, the Aggie interviewed a student, Gloria Lu, who said she had received an email from the promoter saying that they weren't issuing refunds — and that she had never been told by any official notice that the concert had been canceled. She called the events "really sketchy." (2009-04-30 Aggie)
Theta Xi's side of events finally came to light in a May 5th editorial in the Aggie, which explained several points in the favor of the fraternity. The noise permit was secured by 6trees, and it was their misrepresentation of the event that caused the noise permit to be invalidated and thus caused the concert to be canceled. The PayPal account was in the name of the event promoter (it is not made clear if it was Jeffery List or 6trees, or if Jeffery List was part of 6trees), and thus Theta Xi had no access to the funds to issue refunds. The editorial ended with a fairly negative review of all groups involved: Theta Xi for not being more forthcoming and their lack of public communication regarding the collapse of an event bearing their name, and also 6trees for claiming breech of contract and grounds for a lawsuit.

Theta Xi is a Frat, they have been in town for a while near what was the borders complex. They have throw some wicked house shows. Theta Xi has had Mac Dre and other local rappers such as Andre Nickatina performing at theta xi before, it just sounds like they dropped the ball hardcore on this go around, I for one look forward to hearing about how this situation resolves. E-40 is from Vallejo and is rather local, he's just had some minor mainstream exposure, as far as being able to come perform it's doable. Most entertainers (lolundergroundrappers) charge the frat ~ $5000 in goods and services to come perform. Some people do savage shows, others come shady lipsynch and bounce. Daubert Back when I was a new Davis resident (circle 1998-1999), they had some parties that were a bit too wild. I remember one I went to where some of the members were on the roof and threw an empty keg onto some guys head... Shortly after I left, I had heard that a riot broke out, and various party goers decided to fight the frat members due to their unsafe practices. It was a huge riot from what I was told. I had also heard a year later about another party ending when one guy bit another guys arm... - Paul Amnuaypayoat
Why would it matter what happened in 1998. That was seven years ago. Thanks for the insight. But if your are going to offer something at least make it apply to the people that are members of the fraternity now. That is just saying something to say it. Besides the person who threw that keg was not a member of Theta Xi so I would appreciate if you would retract that cause you dont know the person who threw it. Oh the person that bit the person's ear off was a phi delt and he was at fault. It had nothing to do with anything a member of Theta Xi did. I really hate when people just say stuff they no nothing about. That is not very fair to the people it effects. But it seems to happen a lot on this site.—DustinDevan
History is relevant on this website — but don't hold it against current members! —BrentLaabs
2006-07-17 22:49:06 There were absolutely no connections to narcotics. There was no meth lab in the basement as some rumors claimed. Anyone who is skeptical and go the Davis Police Department themselves and view the actual police report. —BenGolomb
2007-01-29 02:05:09 They have throw some wicked house shows. —StevenDaubert
2007-05-17 01:31:28 A picture of a cop with an assault rifle crouching in front of Theta Xi surfaced on the internet last year, possibly a result of that alleged raid. It was on the Davis LJ, and if I could find it I'd link to it, largely because the cop was crouched behind ridiculously little cover, as if he were a cartoon character. —ThomasGray
2009-04-22 10:40:50 Theta Xi cancelled an E-40 concert that was going to be on Sat. April 25 and is refusing to give refunds. They also removed the entire event from facebook so you can't get in contact with them. If anyone knows any more information on this please let me know! —Selby
2009-04-25 11:54:39 Theta Xi COMMITS FRAUD — DO NOT PURCHASE TICKETS TO THETA XI-HOSTED EVENTS!!
On Saturday, April 11, I purchased two tickets through ticket-selling website EventBrite for an event hosted by Theta Xi Fraternity at 515 1st Street, Davis, CA. Theta Xi billed the event as "E-40 Live at Theta Xi" with part of the proceeds benefitting Habitat For Humanity and the Breast Cancer Foundation. However, less than a week before the event was to take place on Saturday, April 25, Theta Xi announced the cancellation of the event through Facebook.com with no reason stated. I immediately suspected fraud on the part of the Fraternity, luring paying customers into a scam promising big headliners and charitable proceeds.
The Facebook contact for the event, Jeffrey List (email@example.com) said that the Fraternity would be handling all refunds. However, my attempts to email and call members of the Fraternity were futile, with phones being disconnected (530-758-6294) and emails unreturned. I contacted EventBrite, whose staff informed me that refunds had been initiated but the sole refund power rested with the Fraternity. EventBrite also informed me that they alerted PayPal to the incident and had the Fraternity's PayPal account frozen so they could not withdraw any more of the money collected from at least 500 hopeful concertgoers. EventBrite called the handling of peoples' funds by the Fraternity "irresponsible" because they were attempting to steal the money and they never intended to issue any refunds. I also contacted the National Headquarters for the Fraternity, which keeps track of all Fraternity events, even on the local level. Jim Vrendenburgh (email@example.com or 800-783-6294, ext 104), the Executive Director for Theta Xi Fraternity & Foundation, responded to my email stating that he would try to investigate the situation on April 23. I have had no response since that date. I still have not received a refund either. I'm not convinced that this event was ever going to take place and I want the fradulent practices of this organization exposed. No one at the Fraternity will accept responsibility for stealing thousands of dollars from hundreds of unsuspecting consumers.
According to the entry text above, they have an an annual events for Habitat for Humanity, so the event isn't overly suspicious. It's more likely that might just be caught up with the massive amount of paperwork needed for such a last minute cancel. And they dropped the ball in taking charge to fix it (trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, as it'd be really stupid to intentionally try to hold on to the money...). I'd recommend contacting the Interfraternity Council at UCD, so that at least there's some local looking into it at the campus level. Good luck to you and everyone else!
Theta Xi has had Mac Dre and other local rappers such as Andre Nickatina performing at theta xi before, it just sounds like they dropped the ball hardcore on this go around, I for one look forward to hearing about how this situation resolves. E-40 is from Vallejo and is rather local, he's just had some minor mainstream exposure, as far as being able to come perform it's doable. Most entertainers (lolundergroundrappers) charge the frat ~ $5000 in goods and services to come perform. Some people do savage shows, others come shady lipsynch and bounce. —StevenDaubert
2009-04-27 16:44:57 you all keep blaming theta xi and saying theta xi got the money, but if you look at your receipts, it's not theta xi that got the money. it's jeffrey list. he was in charge of the event and the money, and he is not a member of theta xi. he is the one stealing your money and not giving refunds. he kept all the money and tried to say that theta xi was responsible even though they are not because they never got any money. so blame it on jeffrey list. —yourmom12
Was this a Theta Xi event though? Who is Jeffrey List and what relation does he have to Theta Xi?
Jeffrey List is a concert promoter that requested Theta Xi as a venue to host the E-40 concert. Theta Xi was just a venue and never actually saw any money from the concert except for the tickets sold on Theta Xi property. The tickets we personally sold were refunded immediately. The tickets purchased on the web were not handled by any Theta Xi members, they were all handled by Jeffrey List.
2009-04-30 08:50:07 An article in today's Aggie provides some insight on what happened with the concert... good luck getting that money back: [WWW]http://theaggie.org/article/3749 —jsogul
2009-06-10 16:51:15 Here's an updated explanation of what happened to the E-40 concert. [WWW]http://theaggie.org/article/3801 —EdwardWalsh
That was an editorial on May 5th about Theta Xi should have done more, not been so silent, etc. On the 15th, [WWW]an article with more information came out. This is a followup to the 4-30 article linked above, by the same author.
2012-06-26 11:14:45 dear latest wave of TX people interested in the wiki: Like I told your previous versions don't touch my comments —StevenDaubert

The Cave at the Ventura Wine Company
4435 McGrath St., suite 301
When The Cave opened in Ventura five years ago, it felt as though it was the talk of the town. Every wine drinker you knew was talking about the high-tech wine dispensers and the pairing-friendly menu. But with more recent years bringing a profusion of wine bars and pairing events, it's easy to get caught up in trying new places and forget what a unique experience The Cave offers.
Few other local restaurants offer the range of approaches The Cave invites you to take. If you want to make a fun date of pairing many wines with many foods, there's a variety of "shared bites" to pair with one-, three- or five-ounce pours from the airtight Enomatic wine dispensers.
If you'd rather stay seated and unwind, you're free to bring over a bottle from the adjoining Ventura Wine Company and share some small plates (which are not urban-tasting-menu small) and a salad. Or if you're on your lunch break and don't have time for pensive sipping and munching, there's a variety of more filling sandwiches, burgers and pizzas.
In any case, the main dining area — which is windowless, dimly lit and lined with rough plasterwork to feel like a real cave — is perfect for accommodating any of those needs. You know how, when you emerge from a matinee at a movie theatre, the light and bustle of the outside world feel surreal? There's a similar effect to sitting in this dark venue and zoning out on acoustic David Bowie covers — perfect way to detach and slow down time during your lunch hour.
One thing to be aware of is that on the first Tuesday of every month, the small plates section of the menu gets a makeover (other sections to a lesser extent). This makes for some excitement, as it was a different menu when I had been there only five days before. Of course that does mean a favorite of yours might go by the wayside, but it makes for a kitchen that stays on its toes and a selection that never gets old.
One very wine-friendly item that's new among the "shared bites" is the arancini, little balls of breaded and deep-fried risotto that are stuffed with rich beef bolognaise and mozzarella, with three of them sitting in a pool of spicy pomodoro sauce. Crack them with your fork, run a bite through the thick, scarlet tomato sauce and fight the urge to just order more of these as your meal. The staff-recommended pinot noir from Sean Minor popped with deeper and darker red cherry and spices alongside this one.
A highlight new to this month's small-plate selection, which — take note — is only available after 4 p.m., is the crab-crusted salmon over garlic scallion potatoes. Just as with the fish on the salmon salad, the kitchen here excels at preparing salmon with crispy edges the color of light-brown sugar. The briny sweetness of pulled crab meat comes up on the back end, right while you're in the middle of enjoying the mild richness of the garlic potatoes and saffron buerre blanc sauce.
The grilled vegetable napoleon is a great contrast against rich dishes like the salmon. Tomato and zucchini slices are stacked over a grilled portabella mushroom, which is filled with a thick eggplant-cashew mousse that gives savory substance to this light item. A couple of ribbons of chiffonade basil mixed in with a bite made this an ideal summer dish.
While it's fun having a menu that constantly brings in new items, this brings in an element of risk since you inevitably try something that hasn't yet been perfected. Like a recent special pizza, which included braised pork belly and figs with onions, red bell peppers, manchego and a fried egg. This riff on classic sweet-with-pork pairing was almost good, but lacked any acidity or peppery zing to give complexity.
But it's easy enough to shrug off any experiment that lacked a memorable result when you consider that nothing on the menu, nor any special, ever costs more than $10 here. For the experience and quality of food, you can laugh, thinking of what a similar endeavor in L.A. would cost.
As far as service goes, I was warned by a few that the food can come out at a glacial pace here, and that going on a lunch hour is a time crunch. Maybe due to recent changes in the kitchen staff, can't say for sure, but no recent visit has lived up to that bad rep. Food came out quickly and the young wait staff was polished and attentive.
If any change would be nice at The Cave, it would be having some more guidance with matching up the variety of wines and foods. The try-and-learn approach here is fine, but a little guidance on paper or from servers would certainly be welcome, too. So would keeping an updated online menu.
With the variety, the flavors and the unreal bargain you get here, seeing The Cave as dynamic as ever on its fifth anniversary feels like a great thing for Ventura.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Call today: 317-355-4680 or 877-298-8177
In this video, radiation oncologist S. Jack Wei, MD, discusses lung cancer risk factors, screening methods, treatment and more.
Whether you're worried about smoking and your risk for lung cancer....if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lung cancer and needs a place for exceptional treatment....or you just want just a second opinion, Community has the answers when it comes to lung cancer. Thanks to our exclusive affiliation with MD Anderson Cancer Network®, our certified cancer specialists provide the best surgical options, radiation therapy, medical oncology and survivor support when you face cancer in Central Indiana.
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide (prostate is number one in men; in women, it's breast)3.
It is by far the leading cancer killer in both men and women, causing more deaths than the next three most common cancers combined (colon, breast and prostate)2,3.
The National Cancer Institute estimates there were 228,190 new cases and 159,480 deaths from lung cancer (non-small cell and small cell combined) in the United States in 2013.
In Indiana in 2013, the American Cancer Society estimated there were 5,500 new cases of lung/bronchus cancer (the highest across all cancers)1.
Lung cancer is mostly a disease of older adults (>80% of those living with lung cancer are age 60 or older)2,3. More men are diagnosed with lung cancer, but more women live with lung cancer2. African-American men are more likely to develop and die from lung cancer than persons of any other racial or ethnic group2,3.
Smoking is the number one attributable cause of lung cancer, responsible for almost 90% of lung cancer cases2. Quitting smoking greatly reduces your risk of lung cancer. Get screened today for lung cancer if you're a long-term smoker or quit less than 15 years ago.
If you're ages 55 to 77 and have a history of smoking, a lung screening can provide peace of mind. Community offers a painless, low-dose CT lung cancer screening.
Smoking - even exposure to second-hand smoke - is the number one risk factor associated with lung cancer. The good news is that smoking is a factor you can control, and that quitting smoking even after years of smoking can significantly reduce your risk of developing lung cancer. Other risk factors for lung cancer include exposure to radon gas (often found in homes), asbestos and other chemicals, and air pollution. Previous occurrence of lung cancer or lung disease, chest/breast radiation therapy, and a family history of lung cancer also increase risk4,5.
Worried you may be at risk? Get a detailed picture of your lungs. Talk to your doctor and schedule a lung cancer screening at Community today.
Symptoms of lung cancer often do not appear until the advanced stages of lung cancer. Some common signs of lung cancer include chronic cough, coughing up blood, hoarseness, wheezing or unexplained weight loss. These symptoms can be indicators of other medical conditions, so it's important to be evaluated by your healthcare provider to determine the cause. Lung cancer signs and symptoms >>
Lung cancer is a cancer that starts in the lungs, the two spongy organs in your chest that help you breathe. Two types of lung cancers account for about 95% of all lung cancer diagnoses: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.
Contact a Community cancer care location today to learn more about your treatment options for lung cancer. We can put you in touch with the physicians and the support network you need. To request an appointment with an MD Anderson certified physician, call us today at 800-777-7775 or find a doctor now >>

Facts about Surgical Anesthesia
Anesthesia is an important part of an operation, not only in relieving pain, but also making the operation easier, faster and safer. Anesthesia may involve all or part of your body.
Usually, general anesthesia for adults is started with an injection into the intravenous tubing and is continued by a gas. During regional anesthesia only a portion of the body is anesthetized, but sedatives will be used to keep you relaxed and sleeping if desired. Sometimes an anesthesiologist may use a combination of regional and general anesthesia.
If you are pregnant or think you might be, it is important to tell your surgeon and anesthesiologist.
Who administers the Anesthetic?
Anesthesia is given by specially trained doctors called anesthesiologists and by specially trained nurses call Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists. These specialists work as a team to provide your anesthesia care throughout your operation.
How will the Anesthetic be selected?
An anesthesiologist will study your chart and talk with you and your surgeon about your health and the operation. This information is used to decide the type of anesthesia best for you. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions of the anesthesiologist about your anesthetic. Consideration will be given to your personal preferences and previous anesthetic experience.
What are some of the possible side effects of Anesthesia?

(In honor of this year's International Week of the Deaf (September 19th thru 25th, 2011) – and in solidarity with our Deaf brothers and sisters both here in New York and across the globe – I have asked my colleague Sister Barbara Ann Sgro, Coordinator of Deaf Services for the Hudson Valley, to reflect on her work with and for the Deaf community here in the Archdiocese)
I am used to being asked questions about my religious vocation. There seems to be a natural curiosity for people when they first meet religious Sisters as they probe, "Why did you become a nun, what do nuns do?" Very gently I take the time to explain that I am a Sister, not a nun and that there is a difference between the two. I then proceed to share a little bit about my vocation. So some months after I began my current ministry as a Pastoral Worker with the Deaf, someone I had recently met said to me, "I'd like to ask you a question." I was prepared, or so I thought …
The "someone" was Deacon Patrick Graybill, a Deaf Deacon from Rochester, NY who is highly revered in the international Deaf Community, and his question was loaded. "Why," he basically asked, "do you, a hearing person who is still learning American Sign Language (ASL) want to work with the Deaf?" After some seconds (which felt like hours) of processing his question, I responded, "Because without the inclusion of the Deaf, the Church is not whole."
Deacon Patrick smiled and gave me a quiet nod of affirmation. I relaxed a bit, but truthfully, I'm not sure why. Giving Deacon Patrick the wording of that answer was the easy part; unpacking it is the ongoing challenge of my ministry that I will share with you.
I came into Deaf ministry equipped primarily with a deep love for God's people, particularly those whom society holds on its margins. I'm not sure the sign language I knew at the time really counted, I had taken an intro class in my early college years as part of my study for working with adults with intellectual disabilities. I knew words (or signs) like eat, toilet, and help. These hardly qualified for everyday conversation.
One of my first challenges was finding out that using the respectful "people first language" that was so much a part of me (e.g., people with intellectual disabilities, people who are deaf) was not the proper way to go. Getting to know the people I minister with taught me that if I was to be an effective pastoral minister, I had to let go of my idea of deafness as a disability. To them, being referred to as Deaf is a positive thing. It's a source of pride and identity; it is not offensive at all. I was truly amazed by how readily the Deaf welcomed me into their world of Deaf Culture (We'll talk about what that is in a few minutes.) Everyone was willing to "teach me" but I knew I couldn't just rest in that. I sensed how important it would be for me to "earn my keep."
Now here is where hearing people like me have to sort out some confusion. There is the physical condition of being born deaf; that gets a small "d". But on the other hand, when you talk about someone in relation to his or/her identity within the Deaf Culture that gets a capital "D". It was hard for me in the beginning to get used to referring to people as Deaf. But now I get it.
Deaf Culture also values Deaf schools and has its own social etiquette rules, e.g. it is actually not rude to walk between two people signing with one another. Deaf Culture is also built around the native language of the Deaf—American Sign Language (ASL). I often hear people say how beautiful this language is. This is true for me also, but even more true is that it is capable of expressing so much more than words ever could. I never realized before how different ASL was from Signed English, which is basically a word for word translation of English. ASL is a true language in and of itself, whereas Signed English is not a natural language but created in hope to make English more visible with one's hands.
The more I learn about Deaf Culture, the more I realize how "Christian" Deaf Culture can be. I say this because it is rooted in community sharing and caring and respect for one another. I feel Deaf power at its best can be aligned with the social justice taught by Jesus—used for the common good of the community and not for personal gain.
Self –advocacy is another important part of Deaf Culture. Some of us may remember the Deaf President Now protest at Gallaudet University in 1988. Gallaudet University was the first institution for college level liberal arts education of the deaf and hard of hearing in the world. At that time in 1988, the University was seeking a new President. There were several highly qualified candidates. All of them were deaf except one. The students advocated for a Deaf President who culturally understood their needs. Then the hearing candidate was hired. The students held a week-long carefully-engineered protest. At the end of the week, the school replaced the new hearing President with a Deaf President. The University responded in a manner that was socially just.
The need for social justice is so much a part of the Deaf experience. Having the privilege to be in pastoral ministry with the Deaf, two of my primary responsibilies are to support the faith-life / religious and sacramental education of the Deaf and to ensure that Deaf are respected in ways that are socially just. These are very challenging tasks.
How can the Deaf live the Good News in fullness if their access to their Church and the Good News is limited? We are socially conditioned to understand that access basically means ramps, automatic doors and ample seats at the end of a row. But doesn't access also mean having the opportunity to fully participate in one's faith? Deaf people are often called "eye people." Why? Because they take in everything visually. How can we challenge ourselves to make the Gospel more accessible using their primary input mode? I wonder in what ways we can make our Church buildings and our environmental designs more visually accessible. I also wonder how we can challenge ourselves to be more open in inviting the Deaf to their right to taking more active roles in our liturgies.
In 2009, the Pontifical Council for Health Care ministry focused on the hearing-impaired person in the Church. One of its outcomes is that we need to make the Gospel more accessible to the Deaf. Throughout our Archdiocese we facilitate religious education and adult faith formation programs. I have many questions. How might we dream and plan programs that are accessible to the Deaf? How can we tap into the rich faith of the Deaf so that the leaders among them can rise? How can we be more socially just in welcoming the Deaf into their rightful places in the Church. We definitely have technology to our advantage here.
There have been twelve Deaf priests and several Deaf deacons ordained in the United States since 1977. Amazing you are probably thinking, I'm thinking there are many more vocations out there. Their stories are powerful and filled with overcoming struggle. I am hopeful that we have the resolve to change this for the future generations to give glory to God.
