How well do you know your world?
It's hard to imagine anyone visiting the Bitterroot Valley for the first time who would not be struck by the awesome beauty of the place. But those who linger here, who live here, soon recognize something even more amazing and that is how the place can grow even more beautiful the more you learn about it. It's like the difference between what a city slicker from down south might see when walking through a snowfield in the Sapphires compared to what a seasoned tracker sees. One sees some strange markings in the snow, probably some kind of track left by some kind of animal. The other sees the whole story. How the bobcat tracked the unsuspecting hare. Where the chase began. He can even see how long ago it happened, based on the condition of the tracks and what he knows of the weather conditions over the last week. Our knowledge adds to our vision of things. The awesome beauty of the world grows deeper the more we learn about it. And the learning never ends. As Aristotle put it, "The more we know, the more we know there is to know."
So, no matter how much you already know about the Bitterroot Valley, you owe it to yourself to visit the latest Natural History exhibition at the Ravalli County Museum. You are bound to learn something new. Local experts, agencies and organizations of every sort collaborated to put this exhibit together including the US Forest Service, Montana Natural History Center, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Bitterroot Gem and Mineral Society, Montana Audubon Society, Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, and Raptors of the Rockies.
Museum Director Tamar Stanley said that the exhibit was designed with a three-tiered focus combining natural history with social history and art. It has been designed to be appealing and accessible to people of all ages. It is set up to intrigue and involve the viewers. For instance, you can test your knowledge of local animals by trying to identify the various animal pelts and then try to match them with the appropriate skulls, tracks and, yes, even scat (poop).
Some incredible photography by Patrick Clark is laced throughout the exhibit, as well as some samples of beautiful watercolors done in the field by water colorist and naturalist Karen Savory.
The Natural History Exhibit will run through April and things will be continually added to it to keep it interesting for returning visitors.
To help us all see things even better, a series of lectures has also been arranged which complements the exhibit with topics ranging from cultural customs of indigenous people, to wolves, fish, fire and the mighty Glacier Lake. The January lecture series is entitled "Fields and Forests of the Bitterroot." Steve Arno and Bob Mutch gave the first presentation last week, lecturing on the role of fire across the landscape of the Western US and the local Bitterroot private and governmental property.
The lectures takes place on the second floor of the Museum on Thursdays at 6 p.m. The schedule for the rest of the month is as follows: January 9 – Jack Losensky will present a photographic presentation of the forests of the west and the Bitterroot in particular prior to European arrival and influence; January 16 – Panel discussion including Paul Moore from the Montana Dept. of Natural Resources, Byron Bonney of the Bitter Root RC&D Area, and Julia Altemus of the Montana Wood Products Association; January 24 – The Bitterroot National Forest will address all components of the federal government's many obligations of providing "The Most Good for the Most People" over the long period.

Jack London's 1903 novel, The Call of the Wild, occupies a unique position in literary culture. Widely translated, this best-selling work resists easy classification. Best known as a robust adventure story featuring a once-pampered dog impressed into hard labor as a Klondike sled-dog, The Call of the Wild can be variously categorized as naturalism, social protest, historic saga, captivity tale, animal story and action-packed realism. The novel, strongly influenced by London's reading of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer as well as his alignment with socialist thought, showcases three significant facets of literary production: awareness of social, political and economic realities; artistic representation of a discrete l…

JONATHAN Katzenbach has a love-hate relationship with his neighborhood basketball court. Katzenbach, who lives across from the court at Marian Anderson Recreation Center in the Graduate Hospital area, says he loves having the court so close. He's shot some hoops there in the past.
But when the sun goes down, it's a different story. The gate to the court has been broken for months — half of the gate's door is missing — and there are large gaps in the surrounding fence. So people enter and play at all hours.
Katzenbach says he's been awakened numerous times at 3 or 4 a.m. from the sounds of people on the courts. Kids and adults both use the courts past midnight, he says, and it's much more frequent in warm weather. When it happens, he calls the cops.

«Install was a breeze, all the labeling for the component is intuitive, and it 'looks' to be everything I could hope for in an all-in-one SEO solution. It is so tedious to hit every page separately to update keywords and metatags and judging by the other reviews, I am very much looking forward to seeing what this component might do for the site I am currently constructing.

Welcome to the home of Cetara Boston Terriers - KUSA Member No. 1002159
We live in the heart of Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. We have had Boston Terriers since 2003. Boston Terriers were part of our family when my mom had her own Boston Terriers so I grew up with the breed. I immediately fell in love with the wrinkly little faces! I use to tease her and tell her they were ugly but I just loved them!
Along with our good friends, Yulinda and Karin, we have started a Boston Terrier Club in Pietermaritzburg. Anyone with a Boston Terrier is welcome to join us. Please find us on Facebook.
We are proud members of Hills Breeders Association. We recommend that all our babies are fed Hills and each new owner goes home with a Hills Puppy Pack.
All our Boston Terriers are DNA tested for Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts, BAER tested for normal hearing and are checked for luxating patellas.
We show our Boston Terriers in the KUSA shows and strive to breed healthy Bostons. We have good American and Australian bloodlines.
A Boston Terrier can live up to 15 years old, and this is a lifetime commitment.
Boston Terriers cannot take extreme temperatures, and they are part of our family, and are house dogs. Our Great Danes even love our Boston Terriers!

Repsol Honda Team head to Mugello
This weekend the MotoGP paddock head to Mugello for the ninth round of the 2012 World Championship. The Grand Prix of Italy also marks the half way point of the season and the third race in a row after visiting Assen and Sachsenring.
The Repsol Honda riders are looking forward to arriving at traditionally, one of the warmest races on the calendar. After an intense battle in Germany, where they demonstrated a very high pace, Dani hopes to maintain momentum after taking his first win of the season and Casey is determined to put his crash behind him.
The Honda RC213V has showed great potential in the last two races, where Dani and Casey have both visited the top step of the podium. They are confident to be again very competitive in Mugello, a track that combines a very long straight (1,141 Km) and fast changes in direction. They will be looking to make the most of the Honda engine's power at a track with the highest top speed on the calendar.
In fact, Dani, currently second in the World Championship standings 14 points off Lorenzo, has the record top speed in Mugello with 349,3 Km/h in 2009, while Casey, third in the overall standings 6 points behind Dani, has the fastest lap ever at this track thanks to his pole position last year (1'48.034).
Dani has six podium finishes and 2 victories in Mugello (2010 in MotoGP and 2005 in 250cc); and Casey has four podiums and 1 victory in MotoGP 2009.

The Most Euphoric Cosplay Footage You Will See This Year [Video]
While cosplayers are present at virtually every major convention celebrating comics, gaming, fantasy and science fiction, it's Atlanta's Dragon*Con that has become a a kind of Mecca to which most of the scene's most dedicated hobbyists and professionals pilgrimage every year. Lately I've been comparing the cosplay phenomena to that of b-boying, where the primary inspiration is expressing creativity, performing and earning props from other people like you. The dance comparison is made explicit in this jubilant new video that conveys in a simple but really emotional way just how much fun the Dragon*Con cosplayers are having without us.
Created by Nerd Reactor's David Hoang and based on this immensely popular Burning Man piece, the video is constructed of clips shot by cosplayers themselves as they dance, pose and otherwise perform with a camera-equipped hula hoop. Although the Dragon*Con hotel scenery doesn't allow for images as spectacular as that of the desert-based Burning Man video that inspired it, Hoang's video spotlights the participants' costumes in a way that we never really see, and the euphoric rave soundtrack makes you wish you were there playing along. As I said it's very simple but extremely effective at expressing the sense of community and joy to be found in the cosplay scene; much more so than some other filmed presentations we've seen recently.

In an article that inspired heated debate, Alfie Crow of Big Cat Country argued that the 2007 season in which the Jaguars went 11-5 and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card round of the playoffs was detrimental to the future of the team. I actually agree with Alfie in that evaluation, but I don't entirely agree with all the reasoning behind the article. Alfie begins his argument by saying that the Jaguars "bought into their own hype" and signed massive extensions for Jack Del Rio and David Garrard, arguing that both deals "still haunt the team." It is at that reasoning that I draw the line of agreement and respectfully disagree. While I will gladly go on record saying that I am not at all a fan of David Garrard, I do not believe that the Jaguars have been "haunted" by the deal. Has Garrard played, in the last three seasons, like a player deserving of a $63 million extension? In my opinion, absolutely not. He has faltered down the stretch and made crucial mistakes at crucial times, and as such is a liability to the franchise. However, at no point in time do I feel that the contract prevented the Jaguars from making a move at the position. If a reasonable opportunity to upgrade with a new and better starting quarterback position had arisen in the 2009 or 2010 offseason I don't believe that Garrard's contract would have prevented the Jaguars from doing so. Even if an upgrade was available in the 2009 offseason, I'm not sure the Jaguars would have been eager to sign the player and essentially give up on a player they named the franchise quarterback just one offseason prior. I also do not believe that Jack Del Rio has been a hinderance to the team in the last three seasons. While I am not a Garrard supporter, I am a Del Rio supporter and I believe he has gotten the most out of his team in the recent rebuilding years. While his accomplishments probably didn't warrant the contract he received, I also don't believe this contract was of any hinderance to the team during the rebuild. With all that said, I still agree with Alfie that the 2007 season was very counterproductive from a long term standpoint. What the 2007 season did was make the Jaguars believe that they were just a few players away from a championship team. As Alfie pointed out in the article, they spent big money on free agent acquistions Jerry Porter, Drayton Florence and Cleo Lemon. None of the three players were retained for the 2009 season. The Jaguars then traded a disgruntled Marcus Stroud to acquire a 3rd and 5th round pick which were used to trade up and select Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves. They traded another draft pick to acquire collosal draft bust Troy Williamson in the hopes that he could revive his career in teal. Ultimately, it was an offseason when the value of players like Ernest Wilford, Bobby McCray, Marcus Stroud and Terry Cousin was underestimated and the age of the team was ignored. When offensive lineman for the Jaguars went down in the week 1 opener, the Jaguars had a lack of youthful talent to fill in the gaps because the 2008 draft was essentially lost. Three years later the Jaguars have just about picked up the pieces of a 2008 offseason that crippled the franchise. So while I disagree with Alfie that the Del Rio and Garrard contracts were "the Jaguars biggest albatrosses," I agree with him that the 2007 season was one that directly caused a catastrophic 2008 offseason and 2009 rebuild.

In the video below, Fool analyst Lyons George talks about Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and what investors might expect in the wake of a disappointing quarter.
With shares holding right around their 52-week lows, Apple and its investors are probably thinking the same thing about now: What else can the company do to maintain its growth profile?
If a recently uncovered patent application is any indication, the future of one of the world's most prominent tech companies could very well be a shoe, Lyons says. Tim Cook and company recently asked for the rights to a "smart shoe system" that integrates a processor and tiny sensors into everyday footwear.
This may sound farfetched, but the intended uses are practical, Lyons says. It could tell users how far they've walked or when shoes should be replaced, or whether the shoes are even right for them. It also fits into a larger project Apple has been working on with Nike (NYSE: NKE ) to develop smart workout gear, and Apple has already filed some additional patents. Investors shouldn't be surprised to see some of these products start to hit the market.
Is smart clothing Apple's next big thing? There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever, and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded with over 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and more importantly, your portfolio) going forward. To get instant access to his latest thinking on Apple, simply click here now.

I would like it a lot more if he keeps fighting. He may want to go out on the top though, thats understandable.
I just dont want a De La Hoya rematch. There really is no need for it. I thought Mayweather won, and I think the fight would be less exciting than the first...theres no way it could be as hyped up as this one.
He already basically beat the #1 Middleweight...unless you want to call the #1 Cory Spinks. Somehow, I dont think that fight is exactly a huge fight for the fans however...unless hell freezes over and Spinks schools Taylor or something. If Winky would fight him at 154 that would be huge for me too. Otherwise, theres no real reason to stay at 154, and I think 160 is kind of high for him...although I wouldnt mind him giving it a shot.
I think it would be fun for him to fight Mosley and the the 'tournament' winner between Cotto-Judah-Margarito-Williams. personally, I say forget Hatton. I really like Hatton and all, but this fight would only happen if Hatton beats Castillo AND moves up. which probebly aint gonna happen. I like the other options better imo.
but, I can get why he would want to go out on top...I personally wouldnt count it against him at this point if he DID lose to some guys, but undoubtedly others would, even if it was at 160.

He's Good For The Sport Of Boxing
Boxing needs Floyd Mayweather right now. After all the publicity created by this fight, he's become a rare household name for the sport. He's at his peak, and has a lot of good years of boxing left in him.
Besides I want to see Hatton put a pounding on him before he retires.

Would like to see more of PB...
IMO, Floyd fought well against Oscar, though not the stellar performance he put on against Corrales, which was what I was expecting from him.
Plus, having to defend your status in the sport at every interview get's tiring.
If he does keep fighting, I'd like to see him put on a dynamite showing against
Hatton, Margarito or Cotto, since that's what many are asking for.
However, I wouldn't want to see him fight and get ko'd like RJJ because he's not motivated enough to fight any more.
A rematch with Oscar won't prove much else.
As hard as he trains, it's bound to take a toll on his body sooner than later.
He's still riding into the HOF on roller skates regardless.

Yes I would like to see mayweather leave and take his $ and invest it into a car wash chain. He could put most of his family and friends to work. Provided he don't lose all his $ on gambiling. He should also try to get a college education so he can relate to the business world and not look and sound like dumb ass rapper. Good luck to the whole Mayweather family.

He should definitely take on a few more big name fights, really make a case for himself for the Hall of Fame.
Don't get me wrong, he's a superb talent and he's going in the HOF but if he wants to be remembered for longer than a few years he needs to hammer it home.
Think about who people are talking about 20/30/50 years on. Marciano retired undefeated but is not in anyone's heavyweight top ten because he had no real defining fights against truly great fighters.
As to Hatton and Shane being undeserving of fights cause they said no at some point; What ****ing kiddies playground do you think this is?
Take the fight, win them for the world to see and collect the lions' share of the money. Hell take on Margharito or whoever's atop the welter division. Winky'll move down to 154.
Take them all. Two years down the line retire, then he'll be a true household name. With those names on the resume there's noone who can question the greatness and he can act as much of an ******* as he likes and we'll ALL say 'Yeah, he's a dick, but he's THE BEST!!!!!!'

Mayweather should not retire. He thinks he's the greatest ever and he obviously hasn't proven it. He's a Hall Of Famer, but he's gotta some more big wins to build a great legacy. I'd be interested in seeing a rematch, but I would like to see Floyd fight Shane. A Oscar-Floyd rematch would be fun. I think Oscar would actually have a good chance. I don't think Floyd would change it up to much for the next fight and I think Oscar would know to use his jab more and would have a shot. I don't think a rematch would be good for Floyd, even if he beat the hell out of Oscar. But Floyd's gotta keep fighting if he wants to build a good legacy. I want to see him fight Mosley.

USGA Announces 2013 U.S. Open Local Qualifying Sites
The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced local qualifying sites for the 2013 U.S. Open Championship, which will be contested at Merion Golf Club, in Ardmore, Pa., on June 13-16. Local qualifying, conducted over 18 holes at 111 sites, will take place May 3-16 in 43 states.
"The U.S. Open's local and sectional qualifying process exemplifies a tremendous commitment by the state and regional associations and we are grateful for their support," said USGA Vice President and Championship Committee Chairman Thomas J. O'Toole Jr. "U.S. Open qualifying remains unique and democratic in that every amateur golfer who meets the Handicap Index requirement can compete. Local qualifying is where the quest to play in our National Championship begins."
Those players successful in local qualifiers will advance to sectional qualifying, which will be conducted over 36 holes at 11 U.S. sites on June 3. For the ninth consecutive year, Japan and England will host international qualifying, both scheduled for May 27.
In 2013, six clubs are hosting U.S. Open local qualifying for at least the 10th consecutive year. Illini Country Club, in Springfield, Ill., has held a U.S. Open local qualifier since the late 1940s, while Maketewah Country Club, in Cincinnati, Ohio, has been a site for more than four decades. Riverton (Wyo.) Country Club and Genoa Lakes Golf Club, in Genoa, Nev., have hosted local qualifying since the 1990s. Old Works Golf Club, in Anaconda, Mont., and Collindale Golf Course in Fort Collins, Colo., have also hosted for at least a decade.
There are 16 local qualifying sites in Florida, with the first of the scheduled qualifiers at The Club at Admirals Cove's East Course in Jupiter on May 3. Fourteen local qualifiers are scheduled in California, three in the Palm Desert area.
For a complete list of the sites, visit http://www.usga.org/news/2013/February/U-S--Open-Local-Qualifying-Sites-Announced/.
Last year, eight players who advanced through local and sectional qualifying - including Scott Langley and amateur Beau Hossler - made the cut at the U.S. Open, the most since 1997. Langley, who qualified locally at The Legacy Golf and Tennis Club, in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and Hossler, who advanced through a local qualifier at Oakmont Country Club, in Glendale, Calif., tied for 29th at The Olympic Club in 2012. Both clubs are hosting local qualifiers again this year.
The U.S. Open will be held for the fifth time at Merion Golf Club, in Ardmore, Pa. Olin Dutra (1934), Ben Hogan (1950), Lee Trevino (1971) and David Graham (1981) are past champions at Merion. To be eligible, a player must have a USGA Handicap Index® not exceeding 1.4, or be a professional. Online player registration for the 2013 U.S. Open begins the first week of March. For registration information, visit https://champs.usga.org/index.html.

Griffins Features
Feb. 7, 2012
After a grueling practice, Grand Rapids Griffins players can shoot around and work on their individual skills. Rookies are burdened with sticking around the longest, having to pick up all the loose pucks after practice. Among the experienced players who can commonly be found late after practice is Brent Raedeke, who is nearly always the last one off the ice. One of the key elements in any professional player's success is determination, and Raedeke shows that he is willing to do whatever it takes to improve.
"After practice I take five pucks, go in front of the net and try to shelf it," said Raedeke. "I keep doing that over and over. I've been working on my skill set and my shot, and I think it's been paying off. As a result the coach is giving me some more playing time and power play time."
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Raedeke has been preparing for his hockey career since he was four years old. Growing up Raedeke, was influenced by his father to play hockey and has loved it ever since. He spent his junior career in the WHL, playing for the Edmonton Oil Kings and Brandon Wheat Kings. During his WHL career, Raedeke was able to get a taste as a Griffin by signing an amateur tryout at the end of the 2008-09 season. With the experience gained from playing in the WHL, his transition to the AHL was made a little easier.
"I think the WHL helped a lot," explained Raedeke. "The travel is quite similar and the style of play is a lot similar to the AHL or the NHL. There are big players and a lot of grinding and hitting, so I think it prepared me very well."
In 2010-11, he began his first full season as a Griffin, scoring 13 points (8-5—13) in 67 games. Although his first year in the AHL was a good start for a rookie, he entered this season determined to improve his offensive abilities.
"I hope this season to get more experience, try to get more points and just do the best I can to contribute offensively more often," said the 21-year-old forward.
With Raedeke's willingness to put in the extra hours to improve, it is no surprise to Griffins head coach Curt Fraser that Raedeke has grown throughout his AHL career.
"Brent felt his way along last year, but this year now he is starting to score some goals," said Fraser. "I think Brent has just thrown everything aside and he's learned that being the first one on the puck makes a huge difference, hitting the net when you shoot makes a big difference, and being strong on the draws makes a big difference."
With all of the hard work Raedeke has put in he is glad to see that it is paying off with more playing time during the games.
"Last year playing on the fourth line most of the year and being in and out of the lineup, you don't get as much opportunity," he said. "This year I have been working as hard as I can and I have been getting some more chances. With my line mates, Willie Coetzee and Trevor Parkes, we have been doing pretty well and I've been able to put the puck in the net a few times which has been nice. Getting those chances and burying them when you get them is the most important thing."
This season, Raedeke has appeared in 41 of 45 games, and has able to establish himself as a mainstay in a Griffins lineup that is currently healthy. Contributing to his additional playing time and offensive success is his background as a defensive-minded player.
"I try to do the best I can on defense," Raedeke said. "I take a lot of pride in it. Play patient, play smart, and play good defense and if you do that you are going to get offensive chances. It's definitely helped me playing defense first and working from underneath. You get chances that way and I think that's really helped me in my career."
With seven goals and six assists so far this season this Griffins center has earned the respect from his coaches and will be looking at much more ice time during the rest of the year.
"I think Brent has really grown as a player," said Fraser. "He is starting to contribute a lot more and he is getting more comfortable with the competition level here. From the start of the year until now, he has improved 100%. Jim Paek and I have a lot of confidence in our young kids and Brent is one of those guys that we can throw into any situation and be confident that he can do a great job."
Raedeke's recent success has only motivated him to work even harder and to continue earning more points for his team during these next few months.
"I have changed my mind set to think more offensively," explained Raedeke. "I am going to the net more and shooting more. Also, I have to remember the simple things like keeping your stick on the ice, and try to find the open spot in the offensive zone. These are small little things but they add up."

I have an article in QST magazine about SDR, using a DVB-T dongle.

However, I don't have the article in digital format, it's on the print edition that I just found while cleaning my bedroom.

Hopefully I'll be able to scan it into the computer in the next couple weeks or so. I'd like to try out SDR.

Cheers, and 73 de K4RNT

 Just found Kali Linux which seems to be picking were up Backtrack Linux left off.
 Kali Linux has an SDR metapackage that is worth looking into.
 It includes their own fork of Debian's gnuradio which updates to the latests sources. As well as GQRX which support several USB SDR dongles.
 Including a $20 TV dongle that can be used as a broad spectrum scanner that can be used for all kinds of cool stuff.

 While Kali Linux should be in any serious linux users toolkit, I'm not sure if a distro that runs as root by default is the best choice for some of my fellow hams. Especially the many who are xp refugees mourning the loss of their dead os. Though it has some good ideas for the start of a new HAM Shack OS.

The traditional CV is a relic of the pre-electronic age, it seems to be going the way of big hair and platform shoes as it retreats into the ever lengthening shadows of the digital world. You can no longer afford to be a subject matter expert and nothing more. You are a business and your career is the product of how you position yourself across different platforms as well as the risks that you take. Your CV should reflect this in a way that is as unique as you are.
As employers, we know how tough it is out there, but that doesn't stop us wanting the very best people for the job, particularly as these new recruits could one day become the leaders of our businesses. We want to see evidence that these young people have got what it takes to negotiate the complexities of today's workplace.
Following a survey we have just done, we found that a staggering 98 per cent of job applicants are reducing their chances of success significantly through poor spelling, grammar or presentation on their CVs. These errors have lead to a number of alarming disclosures, such as being "A director with a strong breath", or, perhaps fresh from watching Sweeney Todd, "Baker, working on ovens and customers".
For students everywhere it has always provided a liberating period between one busy university year and an even busier year to come. Consequently, students have never failed to embrace the many benefits of the summer break. However, with the controversial rise in tuition fees to £9000 per year the necessity of university has been debated.
You should absolutely relish the time you have to relax and unwind after all your hard work in term one. However, just in case you do find yourself having a spare moment in between eating, drinking and being merry, here are a couple of time-filler activities that are also enormously productive in the job-hunting game.
If you take one mantra away from university (no, not 'first year doesn't count'), let it be that in life, it's all about who you know, not what you know. Building up a hefty little black book, knowing someone who can put you in the right company and having impressive names on your email is what will count.

Stanford Band's Top 10 Most Offensive Moments
November 14th, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
10. Misappropriate Misspelling (1986)
[Editor's Note: AdBlock must be disabled in order for the slideshow to function properly.]
Since the start of its "modern era" in 1963, the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band (LSJUMB) has perpetuated an infamous reputation for irreverence. So much so that half of its Wikipedia page is devoted to "Controversial actions by the band." We count down the band's Top 10 Most Offensive Moments.
1986 was a controversy-filled year for the group. Band members were accused of urinating on the field during a road game at Washington, charges which they flatly denied. The words they spelled out with their formations in subsequent games were akin to a middle finger.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when they spelled out "NCUT" late in the season as part of an anagram-themed halftime show. No, they didn't mean to spell "uncut" and missed a second "u." We'll let you the readers figure what it was really a misspelling of.
9. Piggish Behavior for Pig Sooey (1970)
The 1970 season saw Stanford (then known as the Indians) firmly entrenched in the Top 10 along with blue bloods such as Nebraska, Ohio State, USC and others. But that place within college football's meritocracy wasn't going to stop the band from marching to the beat of its own drums.
In the season opener against No. 4 Arkansas in Little Rock, the band took the field for its halftime show at War Memorial Stadium. In unison, all the members dropped their trousers.
Going pants-less (not commando mind you) is now habit for the band. But one can imagine that in a more buttoned-up setting like central Arkansas, it was quite a shocker.
8. USC = University of Smutty California (2009)
Stanford's graduates are among the most accomplished individuals in American higher education today, regularly becoming innovators and captains of industry. That entitlement paves the way for LSJUMB to make fun of rival schools and their definitions of a "successful" graduate.
Take Stanford's 2009 road game at USC, where the band serenaded the L.A. Coliseum crowd with this descriptor of USC graduate and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis over the PA system: "USC can't take all of the credit for the success of its students. After all, it takes a special kind of man to be wanted for sexual harassment, drug trafficking, tax evasion, prostitution, child abuse and disruptive flatulence."
Chances are pretty good that the boos that rained down on the band were louder than the ones that Stanford's football team received when they went for a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter of a game it was leading 48–21.
7. Nun Drum Major (1991)
Notre Dame's overtly religious reputation is the polar opposite of open, left-leaning Stanford. The former tends to treat the latter with silent disdain. The latter seemingly just wants to make fun of the former.
When the Cardinal visited South Bend in 1991, drum major Eric Selvik dressed up as a nun for the halftime show and directed the band with a cross, wielding it as if it were a baton. One female Notre Dame fan was so enraged that she ran onto the field to rip the nun's habit off of Selvik and told him he was going to hell.
Notre Dame subsequently banned the Stanford Band from its campus. This isn't to say that the band has something against Catholics. For the pregame show, Selvik was dressed up as a Hasidic Jew and used a menorah as a baton.
6. A "Ballzy" Move (1986)
And we're back to 1986 again. The band's response to allegations that it had urinated on the Husky Stadium turf was swift. And right in line with its tongue-in-cheek nature, it spelled out its displeasure in reference to genitalia.
For its halftime show at the home game against USC, the band spelled out "NO BALLZ." Was it their way of telling the audience (and perhaps Stanford administrators) that they should lighten up and stop being so uptight/politically incorrect?
If there was a scene in PCU where Jeremy Piven's character messed with the school band, he would totally have them do something like this.
5. "These Irish, Why Must They Fight?" (1997)
After the shenanigans they engaged in at Notre Dame Stadium in 1991, LSJUMB was asked not to come back for future games. But Fighting Irish administrators couldn't do anything about being made fun of at Stanford Stadium.
For the '97 Notre Dame-Stanford game, the band entertained the crowd with a halftime routine titled "These Irish, Why Must They Fight?" The Irish were referred to as "stinking drunks," and there was also a parody of the Irish potato famine (also featured in the pregame show) and a mock debate between a Catholic cardinal and the devil.
You know you've angered a lot of people when your own home crowd boos you off the field, which is what happened. The band was prohibited from performing at the 1999 Notre Dame-Stanford game at Stanford Stadium and school president Gerhard Casper wrote a letter of apology to Notre Dame.
4. Big Love = Little Tact (2004)
And here you were thinking that the most offensive religious parodies Stanford's band could perform were confined to the Cardinal's games against Notre Dame.
The band also includes a five-woman dance team known as the Dollies. For the halftime show of Stanford's 2004 home game against BYU, all five Dollies appeared on the field in wedding veils. All the while the announcer made reference to marriage as "the sacred bond that exists between a man and a woman… and a woman… and a woman… and a woman… and a woman."
Offending a religious group and perpetuating stereotypes about them? Yes, it was classic LSJUMB with an obvious dig at polygamy that was its first major on-field "scandal" of the 2000s and necessitated an apology from Stanford athletic director Ted Leland to BYU.
3. The "Hearst Burger" (1975)
LSJUMB's most famous moment came against Stanford's biggest rival when, in 1982, "the band was out on the field!" Yet this is the only moment on "offensive" list targeted at Cal. But LSJUMB makes up for the lack of quantity in this department with "quality."
When she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in February 1974, newspaper heiress Patty Hearst was a sophomore art major at Berkeley. Around the time of her September 1975 arrest for joining the SLA's cause in a bank robbery, Stanford lampooned the whole affair by forming a "Hearst burger" on the field. It had two buns, but no patty (rim shot).
It's unclear whether LSJUMB can be credited with this, but today the Urban Dictionary definition of a burger missing the meat is a "Hearst Burger."
2. Oregon's Spotted Owl Show (1990)
By 1990, many of Oregon's residents had been personally affected by the declining logging industry and the closing of paper mills. What was left of the industry was further complicated by a battle with environmentalists over the threats that logging posed to the northern spotted owl.
Naturally, LSJUMB sided with the latter. Even today if you mention "Spotted Owl Show" to a longtime Ducks fan, you're going to get a nasty look in return.
For its first script in its 1990 halftime performance at Autzen Stadium, the band formed the owl and made mention of how its "environment has been destroyed, your home is now a roll of Brawny and your family has flown the coop." The second script was a chainsaw, accompanied by narration warning the trees of how "[the lumberjacks'] bite is worse than your bark."
LSJUMB would not return to Eugene until 2001, due in large part to a decree from then Oregon governor Neil Goldschmidt that they be banned from the state. Not Autzen Stadium. The state.
1. The Juice Goes Sour (1994)
Are you at all surprised that the most polarizing band in college sports played a small part in arguably the most polarizing news story of the 1990s?
The day before Stanford's road game at UCLA, 21 members of LSJUMB took a quick detour to perform outside the Los Angeles County Courthouse, where O.J. Simpson was being arraigned on murder charges. They played songs including "She's Not There" by The Zombies. Simpson's defense lawyer, Robert Shapiro, called it "a new low in tactless behavior."
Had Shapiro seen the halftime show that LSJUMB put on for the game against Simpson's alma mater two weeks earlier, he could have said the same thing. The band drove a white Ford Bronco with bloody handprints around the track at Stanford Stadium vs. USC in reference to Simpson's low-speed car chase.
Love 'em or hate 'em, it's best for one to expect the unexpected — and unexpectedly offensive — whenever the Stanford Band takes the field.

Glisan Street Station
(503) 254-6174
Hospital Number: 5015
My Preferred Hospital
After graduating from Western University of Health Sciences in 2009, I joined a private mixed animal practice where I enjoyed working on all kinds of different species. In 2012 I moved to Portland and have had the pleasure of working for Banfield ever since. At Glisan Street Station, I have a great time working with a fantastic and caring team while performing quality medicine. I see all critters, from cats and dogs to small pocket pets and reptiles, and have a special passion for soft tissue surgery.
More Details >>
I moved to Portland almost three years ago shortly after earning my Bachelor of Science in biology from the College of Idaho. I also have a certificate in basic dog obedience training and behavior. I have always loved animal care and behavior, and was very excited to start working at Banfield. I was hired to open the Glisan Street Location two years ago and have been a veterinary assistant here ever since. I have come to think of this hospital as my second home and have established a familiar relationship with many clients and their lovable pets. I am currently attending school part time to become a certified veterinary technician and am progressing through the program easily due to my experience and support from my hospital leaders. I intend to stay with Banfield when I become a CVT and continue my career in the ever exciting and changing veterinary medicine field. The best part of my job is seeing pets recover from illnesses, either chronic or acute, and keeping them calm in scary and stressful situations.

An organic farmer in Western Australia, Steve Marsh has had GM Canola blown onto his property from a neighbouring farm and is now contaminated. His organic certification has been suspended, putting his livelihood and whole harvest in limbo.
Fortunately he had taken precautions to declare his property GM free and had gone to the expense of setting up signs and getting legal advise so he should be able to take legal action against the GM Farmer.
The WA Ag Department has now confirmed the contamination and Monsanto has stated that it will support the GM farmer if Steve takes legal action. The purpose of this page it to allow people to donate to a war chest to help Steve fight for compensation.
Click here to help.
If the powers that be remove the ability to put patents on organic life, then these problems will go away. The current patents on GM crops will have to be revoked of course.
I believe this is the correct movie about this very subject.

Slow-moving bureaucracy is threatening to turn young Catholics couples away from church marriage ceremonies
Sir, My daughter plans to marry a non-Catholic in a Catholic church in August. She now has to rely on the goodwill of an unpaid volunteer in each parish to find and post her the required original certificates for baptism and confirmation. This is a slow process because parishes are inundated with similar requests. The result is long delays and considerable anxiety.

Something, usually clothing or an accessory, that, although typically worn or used by your grandma - or any other older person - it is also heavily glamorous, fabulous, or -tasic! An example would be a very sparkly handbag or shoes, or a polyester blouse, pants or dress with a wild print, specifically from the 60's or 70's, that is both horrendously tacky yet fabulous.

She's definitely not sulking at home! The same day Paris Hilton's rep confirmed her split from boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, the hotel heiress had a girls' night out with sister Nicky at Hollywood club MyHouse. But she wasn't lacking for male company: After arriving, Paris made a beeline for Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo's table. The Manchester United winger – who was there with male pals – handed the ladies champagne. It wasn't long before Paris and Ronaldo were dancing, flirting and talking close to each other. At one point, the soccer star even had his hand on her hip and they hung close during the night.
Hugh Jackman, having a family day out with wife Deborra-Lee Furness and 3-year-old daughter Ava at a matinee performance of The Lion King in New York City.
Lauren Conrad, shopping with her assistant at Madison boutique on L.A.'s Melrose Ave. The Hills star picked up a $148 mustard-colored Otis and Maclain tank dress and a $193 Tucker blouse, which she later wore to Game 1 of the NBA Finals with boyfriend Kyle Howard.
Kanye West, getting star treatment as the host of Men.Style.com's 3rd annual Women of Fashion event at the New York Palace hotel. The rapper – whose entourage included supermodel Chanel Iman – got Stoli bottle service and indulged in truffle fries in the VIP area. But he also partied with other guests and took photos with fans. The hip-hop star told us he'd just celebrated his 32nd birthday (on June 8) a few days before the bash. "I threw a party with [Jay-Z] and some of my close friends," he said.
Owen Wilson, savoring cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcake in Washington, D.C. The solo actor – casually dressed in a light blue T-shirt, sweatpants, and flip-flops – ordered red velvet and white-chocolate raspberry varieties and chowed down on them at the shop's only table. "He sat for a few moments and ate one after the other. He was looking out the window and looking around," an observer tells us. And before leaving, the actor paid his compliments. "He was very nice, friendly, casual, and down-to-earth," says the source.

A £599 desktop PC with Blu-ray optical drive from Medion is available from Tesco. The Medion Akoyo P36888 is being marketed as a home entertainment model – an image backed up by its quad-core Intel processor, NVidia GeForce graphics card and 3GB of RAM.
Just for good measure it offers a whacking 1TB hard disk so you can safely store away your games without their highly-trained characters getting too claustrophobic and fighting among themselves.
Other features include 8-channel surround sound, a dual TV tuner and an 8-in-1 memory card reader. And unlike many other offers for computers, £599 means £599, not some irritatingly misleading figure that doesn't include VAT. It's still not as cheap as a PS3 mind...

Bronze and ormolu, cast
Italy, possibly Venice
About 1720
Museum no. 3553A-1856
This firedog and its identical pair once stood guard over a fireplace to prevent the logs from falling out. With its asymmetrical form it is an excellent example of Rococo bronze work.
Ormolu is a form of gold-coated bronze, giving a highly reflective surface to firedogs, mirror frames, lighting and furniture. Powdered gold is mixed into a paste with mercury and painted onto the surface. The mercury is then burned off.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings recalled forward Chris Conner from the Grand Rapids Griffins after Wednesday's game.
The club placed right wing Patrick Eaves (broken jaw) on short-term injured reserve. He's expected to be out six-to-eight weeks.
Conner will join the club on its three-game road trip to Buffalo (Friday), Colorado (Sunday) and St. Louis (Tuesday).
Conner, 27, leads the Griffins with 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 20 games. The 5-foot-7, 180-pound right wing and Livonia native has 16 goals and 24 assists in 139 career NHL games with Dallas and Pittsburgh.
Anyone think he will make a difference?
Personally I think he will be comparable to Abdelkader as far as scoring
