The seventh edition of "Recent Advances in Physiology" is worthy of study by those interested in various fields of medicine and physiology. The text presents, to a great extent, the British point of view. The material is written in the usual fashion of review articles, but, because of less documentation, it is easier to read. The subjects discussed, however, are sufficiently supported by a bibliography.
The material is lucidly presented in essentially lecture style. The compendium includes the following subjects: "The Physical Basis of Temperature Regulations," "Water Diuresis," "Digestion," "Some Aspects of the Physiology of Pregnancy," "Blood Pressure and the Kidneys," "Catheterisation of the Heart," "The Electrical Excitation of Nerve," "Cutaneous Sensation," "Auditory Impulses" and "Colour Vision." This small book is highly recommended.

Beyond Suspicion
Moonlighting as a Serial Rapist, Model Cop Henry Hubbard Terrorized San Diego
"Shut the f— up," hissed a voice in the dark. Ochoa and Gracia, hearing her, swam back. "Sit the f— down," ordered the Voice. The three huddled friends were able to make out a man dressed in dark clothes with a nylon stocking over his head. In a calm, authoritative voice, he first ordered Carpenter to tie up Gracia. Then he commanded her to bind Ochoa's hands with his belt. She balked, and the man jammed a pistol to her temple. When she began to whimper, he handed her his heavy-duty flashlight and knelt to do the job himself. Courageously, Arthur Gracia lunged at the gunman. Startled, he shot Gracia in the chest, but Gracia kept hitting. Ochoa jumped in but was shot in the abdomen and wandered off. As Gracia grappled for the gun, it went off a third time, blasting a hole in the attacker's left hand. The gunman staggered into the night, and the three traumatized friends were able to get to a convenience store in Ochoa's Jeep and call for help.
Henry Hubbard Jr., a 30-year-old "supercop," was viewed as exactly the kind of officer capable of capturing the rapist who had been terrorizing San Diego for months. A former minor-league baseball player for the San Diego Padres, he starred in a local TV documentary, The Making of a Cop, in 1987. In 4½ years as an officer, he had won commendations. Patrolling on the 2 P.M. to 1 A.M. shift, he had carefully monitored the investigation of attacks at local beaches. He was virtually the last person the police might have suspected to be the man they were hunting in the predawn hours of Aug. 15, 1991.
But at 4:30 A.M., Hubbard and his wife, Karen, walked into the University of California at San Diego Medical Center for treatment of his bloodied hand. He told doctors that his car had broken down and that he had been jumped by "two or three men." Investigators grew suspicious when they noticed sand on Hubbard's clothes. Doctors found bite marks on Hubbard's back and ear that matched Ochoa's teeth (he was undergoing emergency surgery at Scripps Hospital two miles away). The clinching piece of evidence was his police-issue flashlight, his name engraved on it, which Carpenter had brought from the beach. At 2 P.M., Hubbard was arrested and later taken to jail.
After maintaining his innocence for almost a year, Hubbard pleaded guilty or no contest to 38 counts of rape, robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder. Last week Hubbard tearfully apologized to his victims, and his family, as he was sentenced to 56 years in prison.
The series of vicious beach attacks began on June 15, 1991. At 3 A.M., a young couple were resting under a blanket at Del Mar Beach, just north of San Diego, when a masked gunman robbed them and raped the woman at gunpoint. On July 4 the gunman raped a woman at Solana Beach, nearby. On July 20, at Windansea Beach in the city, Hubbard had two young girls truss up their older male friend. Then he repeatedly raped the girls, aged 13 and 14. While assaulting the 13-year-old, the attacker said, "Why don't you get into it a little bit?" Then he asked the 14-year-old if she was a virgin. When she answered yes, he replied, "We'll change that." He then attacked her while the two girls cried.
The police grew frustrated as the rapist seemed to anticipate their every move. When cops staked out decoy teams on beaches to the north and south, he would strike in between. Detectives noted that the rapist always followed the same eerie modus operandi. "By forcing the female victim to tie up the male, he gave the initial impression that it was a robbery," says San Diego Sheriff's Det. Floyd Feese. "In fact his sole purpose was to destroy the state of mind of (the couple). He did to his victims what a cat would do to a mouse: He played with them, terrorized them."
By the time of the grand jury hearing last October, Hubbard had been identified in six rapes and two rape attempts. Later, DNA samples of semen and blood linked him to one other unsolved rape. At first his lawyers maintained that vindictive cops had set Hubbard up in retribution for testifying against a fellow officer in an excessive-use-of-force case.
But in July, facing more than 200 years in prison if convicted by a jury, he pleaded guilty or no contest to all charges. "Henry never wanted to put the victims on the stand and to have to go through it," says Hubbard's lawyer, Kerry L. Steigerwalt. Citing Hubbard's decision, the judge sentenced him to only 56 years, which may make him eligible for parole in 28 years. "Henry's a smart man," said Steigerwalt. "He knew what the prosecution had, and what we had. If he was convicted, he would have died in prison."
Those who knew Hubbard were dumbfounded. Raised in Lancaster, S.C., the son of a school administrator and a teacher, Hubbard was an over-achiever and was known to be especially kind In women. His police friends in particular were shocked. "There was nothing odd about the person I knew," says Craig Myrom, Hubbard's partner for 4½ years. "That's what's scary—being able to function in society while still being capable of committing these crimes."
In her own way, Hubbard's wife, Karen, 32, is also one of his victims. "It was emotionally devastating to have someone tell you your husband's been arrested," she says. After driving Hubbard to the hospital and finding out he was charged with the rape series on the noon news, she became physically sick. Since then, Karen has received death threats, declared bankruptcy and seen their daughter, Samantha, 2, become hurt and confused. "He was a great dad," she says. "Now Samantha wants to know where her daddy is. How can a person you met eight years ago change so much?" asks Karen, choking back her tears. "I can't explain it. It's not my place to judge him. It's my place to assist him through this."
At last week's sentencing, psychologist Richard Levak attempted to explain Henry Hubbard. Six victims attended, including a woman who sat sobbing quietly in the front row. "He is a deeply disturbed individual," began Levak. One key to Hubbard's tortured psyche, Levak continued, may lie in his relationship with his parents. Henry Sr. was a respected member of the community during the week who drank himself into a rage on the weekends. He would humiliate his son and abuse his wife, "at times using a gun," said Levak. "Henry wanted to hide that his father was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. From an early age, he tried to numb any strong feelings so that he wouldn't be like his father." But he became increasingly jealous and possessive of Karen. "Henry was beginning to see the worst thing imaginable happening," Levak said. "He was becoming like his father."
Hubbard sat stoically through the sentencing. But addressing the court, he wept. "I deeply regret that I am responsible for causing such pain," he said. "I realize that you may never forgive me.... I have no excuses to give you, as the acts are inexcusable."
The victims, however, were hardly mollified. That a model cop was also a vicious rapist has made it difficult, they say, to trust anyone again. One rape victim remains confined to a mental health facility. Charisma Carpenter is still coping with emotional trauma, while Aldo Ochoa has a bullet lodged in his liver. "He's a rapist," said Arthur Gracia, who had a bullet removed from his back. "He deserves to rot in prison."

On February 23, 65 young people and the 43 adults who assisted with the program, participated in One Roof's & YouthServe's, Cardboard Connect. This was a pre-event of the March 9th Project Homeless Connect initiative held at Boutwell Auditorium. Project Homeless Connect is a daylong event where many local organizations that serve the homeless come together to offer their services under one roof. Their slogan for the day is, "One Day, One Place, One Goal."
One Roof, is an umbrella organization here in Birmingham, which partners with many local organizations that serve the homeless in our area. One Roof's newest project, Cardboard Connect, partnered with YouthServe and was held at the Southside Baptist Church. YouthServe, which I have written about in the past, continues to bring together youths from all over the city to learn about and participate in a range of important issues in our community. This latest involvement centered on becoming more educated about our homeless population.
Cardboard Connect began at 4:00 PM on Feb. 23. These young people, ages 13-18, spent the next 16 hours being immersed in simulating what it must be like to be homeless. The afternoon began with getting to know one another through "icebreaker" type activities. A light dinner meal was served such as a homeless person might find offered at a shelter. Then the program really began. The participants were divided into groups of 10 and given a set of problems to solve. Problems that the homeless face every day such as, where is a safe place for me to sleep tonight, where is my next meal coming from, where can I apply for a job, where can I get my medications if needed, where can I get medical care if needed, etc., etc., etc. Issues that most of us take for granted each day. These "games" became real eye openers for these young people. This program was about educating them in the many problems that the homeless face and the many issues that lead to an individual becoming homeless. Homelessness is a many faceted and complicated problem for most who find themselves in that situation.
Each participant bagged toilette items that would later be given out at area shelters. As part of the evening's activities, a candle light vigil was held in the church sanctuary in memory and reflection upon those Birmingham homeless persons who have died in the past year. Next on the program, three formally homeless people spoke to the group, which was followed by a question and answer session. "The kids asked really good questions and it became apparent that they had really been touched by hearing these speakers," comments Stacey Oliver, assistant community outreach coordinator for One Roof. Oliver, who is from Birmingham, is now with AmeriCorps and has been working with One Roof for the past year.
The evening ended about 11:00 PM when the participants constructed cardboard boxes in the church gym, which were to become their beds for the night. The next morning began early, about 5:30. A light breakfast was served and closing discussions about how these participants could continue to be involved and about what they had learned during this project ensued. Continuing to be involved with YouthServe activities and participating in Any Town Alabama, the YWCA's summer camp program, are two ways to stay connected. Creating leaders who early on take ownership in our community and are educated in and are passionate about making Birmingham a truly Magic City is being actualized by events such as these.
"Our ideals are our better selves."

By Karen Jolley DrewenApril 19, 2010
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) announced that it completed its mission to destroy all non-stockpile materiel declared when the United States entered into the Chemical Weapons Convention, or CWC, an international treaty mandating the destruction of our Nation's chemical warfare stock.
This milestone also marks the destruction of the largest inventory of recovered chemical warfare materiel to date - more than 1,200 munitions - with a stellar safety record.
CMA's U.S. Army Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Project (NSCMP) began operations at the Pine Bluff Explosive Destruction System, located at Pine Bluff Arsenal, Ark., in June 2006 to destroy items, such as 4.2-inch mortars and German Traktor rockets captured during World War II. PBEDS completed destruction operations on April 14.
"The Army's Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Project is the nation's best equipped organization to provide safe, successful destruction of such a diverse inventory of recovered chemical munitions," said Carmen Spencer, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for Elimination of Chemical Weapons. "This accomplishment exemplifies the excellent work we have come to expect from this dedicated group."
Munitions were assessed at Pine Bluff before treatment in NSCMP's Explosive Destruction System, a neutralization technology that provides safe, environmentally responsible treatment. Developed as an alternative to open detonation, the transportable EDS provides on-site treatment and neutralization of material and prevents the release of vapor, blast and munition fragments from the process. Operators confirm complete neutralization of the chemical agent by sampling liquid and air prior to opening the system.
"This milestone underscores our commitment to the CWC," said CMA director Conrad Whyne. "This accomplishment could not have been possible without the commitment of all the workers, led by the Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Project, including Pine Bluff Arsenal, Pine Bluff Chemical Activity, Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, 20th Support Command, CBRNE Analytical and Remediation Activity-West, Sandia National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Science Applications International Corporation and supporting work forces. Their levels of technical expertise make it possible for us to fulfill our mission while protecting the public, workers and environment."
The NSCMP research and development team, faced with the unique and diverse inventory of recovered munitions at PBEDS, invented patent-protected processes and cutting-edge vessel enhancements.
"The PBEDS project presented many challenges, but we worked through all of them, achieving a significant milestone," said Laurence Gottschalk, project manager for Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel. "Everyone involved should be proud of their contributions."
NSCMP engineers and chemists received a U.S. National Patent for developing a technology that improves the detoxification of lewisite, a World War II-era German arsenic-based compound. Before their work, the Army was challenged by disposal of lewisite and other arsenical compounds.
System enhancements included the Advanced Fragment Suppression System, which reduces the amount of solid waste generated by up to 80 percent, significantly cutting costs and supporting NSCMP's commitment to environmental stewardship.

"You see, everybody always talk about Hitler exterminating 6 million Jews. . . . But don't nobody ever asked what did they do to Hitler? What did they do to them folks? They went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped, they turned around and a German, in his own country, would almost have to go to a Jew to get money. They had undermined the very fabric of the society."
Kean College, NJ, November 29, 1993
"Tell us you lost 6 million. Historians, scholars, scientists, they went to some of the death camps. . . . It wasn't 6 million, it wasn't 5 million, it wasn't 4 million, it wasn't even 3 million. . . . Some of them say we'd be hard-pressed to get 1 1/2 million. Reports on the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were bloated, exaggerated, probably fabricated."
Brooklyn, NY, March 29, 1994
"There is a little bit of Hitler in all white people."
NBC's "Donahue," May 12, 1994
"The nerve of them to get angry with him [O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr.] because he paralleled Mark Fuhrman with Adolf Hitler. Look at it, so-called Jew. Look at it, imposter Jew. Somebody must call you what you are. Somebody must look you in your cold lying blue eyes and pull the cover off of you today.

Consortium Agreement
- To receive federal financial aid from the University of Wyoming, you must enroll at UW for at least one course in any term or semester in which you are taking courses from more than one institution.
- You must complete a separate Consortium Agreement for each term or semester you will be enrolling at more than one institution, and desire federal financial aid.
- Normally, the financial aid from your home institution will not be made available in full until your enrollment at the host institution is confirmed. This will probably mean that you must pay the other college's tuition and fees from your own resources and then be reimbursed when your aid becomes available to you.
Form: Consortium Agreement (Microsoft Word) (PDF)
Twelve Things To Know About Financial Aid For Students In Outreach Programs
1. The types of aid which are available
In general, the same financial aid is available to students seeking degrees through UW Outreach programs as to students seeking degrees at UW's Laramie and Casper locations. State-appropriated scholarships such as the UW President's Honor Scholarships and County Commissioners' Scholarships may be used for Outreach courses by eligible students, for example. Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Grants, Richardson Scholarships, Federal Perkins (if available) and Federal Direct Loans and UW short-term (emergency) loans may be used by eligible students who meet federal and/or local requirements, as may most scholarships.
2. Recipients of federal funds must have a declared degree objective
Outreach students who qualify for federal funds will fall into one of the following two categories:
A. those who have been accepted for admission to UW and who are enrolled in a program leading to a UW bachelor's or master's degree.
B. those who are enrolled in a degree program on the Laramie or Casper campus, who are or who have previously attended class on campus and who are pursuing one or more Outreach courses in conjunction with their on-campus work.
Please note that students in a) and b) above are seeking a UW degree. Students who do not fall into one of these categories should consult with an adviser in the Office of Student Financial Aid and/or with an adviser in the Outreach program (1-800-448-7801 #6).
3. On-campus deadlines apply to Outreach applicants
Outreach students who apply for financial aid should be aware of the application deadlines which are associated with each of the various types of aid in which they are interested. Since these deadlines sometimes involve complex application processes, applicants are responsible for checking with the Office of Student Financial Aid to learn the details. Priority consideration for scholarships and federal aid is given to applicants whose data have been received by March 1 prior to the semester in which the aid is to be used, but awards are made all year long, when funds are available.
4. Minimum credit-hour enrollment requirements may vary
Below are shown the minimum credit-hour enrollments required for eligibility for various financial aid programs at UW. Be sure to read #5 below for further information on enrollment.
- Federal Pell Grant ----- 12 credit hours for full grant; proportionate reduction for fewer hours.
Federal Direct Loan ----- 6 credit hours for in-school deferment and to borrow. Master's candidates check with Financial Aid Office.
Short-term loans from UW ----- 12 credit hours, with limited exceptions
Federal Perkins Loans (if available) ----- 6 credit hours for in-school deferment; no minimum to borrow
State-funded scholarships ----- 12 credit hours for most scholarships
Other scholarships ----- check regulations of award for enrollment requirements
5. When UW hours may be combined with community college hours
Courses taken through UW Outreach programs may be combined with courses taken at the Wyoming community colleges to achieve the minimum enrollments specified above only as noted here:
A. for state-appropriated scholarships - The Superior Student in Education Scholarship and County Commissioners' Scholarships may be used at any Wyoming community college, as long as the recipient has remaining semesters of eligibility, as specified by the terms of the scholarship. Therefore, courses through UW may be combined with courses at one or more of the community colleges to meet the minimum credit hour enrollment requirement for these particular scholarships.
B. for students in cooperative programs - UW has cooperative agreements with all the Wyoming community colleges to offer specific upper-division (junior and senior-level) degree programs. Students accepted for admission to UW in programs covered by these joint agreements may combine UW course hours with community college credit hours to achieve the minimum credit-hour requirement for financial aid. A special Consortium Agreement must be prepared each semester to cover the concurrent enrollments.
6. How payment is made for tuition costs
Normally, financial aid is disbursed only after official confirmation has been made of your enrollment. Since you are usually expected to pay for your credit hours when you register for them, you will need either to use your own funds for tuition costs or to make arrangements to defer tuition payment until the arrival of your aid. Book charges may sometimes be deferred, also. If you defer your tuition costs and later find that you are ineligible for aid, you are still obligated to pay your outstanding charges.
Your financial aid may be sent to you in several disbursements or in one lump sum, depending on timing. If your tuition and book charges are also still outstanding when your financial aid is credited to your account, as much as possible of your charges will automatically be paid by your financial aid. If there is excess aid, after your charges have been paid, a "credit balance refund" for the remainder will be sent to you, through WyoRefunds. If you also owe tuition charges at a community college, you must make arrangements on your own to pay or defer payment until your aid arrives.
Please note that financial aid has some unique disbursement arrangements. It is always disbursed in two payments, once each semester. Also, when you borrow your first Federal Direct Loan, you will be required to participate in entrance loan counseling before your check can be mailed to you. You may complete this requirement online at www.studentloans.gov
7. How your community college coursework will be confirmed
If you are enrolled through the UW Outreach School and one of the Wyoming community colleges (see 5b), you will normally be enrolled predominately in UW (that is, upper division) coursework. If you find it necessary to your academic program to enroll in some community college (that is, lower division) courses, along with your UW coursework, the total of your hours from both institutions can be counted toward your enrollment requirement for financial aid purposes.
8. You are responsible for maintaining your address record
When enrollment has been certified and all eligibility requirements have been met, UW will mail your excess financial aid in the form of checks if that is the refund option you chose through WyoRefunds. The check(s) will be mailed to the "mailing" address on record for you on the UW Registrar's computer database. This address is updated only when you request the Registrar to do so. It is always appropriate for you to confirm that the Registrar has your current address and if not, to update it. You may do this by calling or writing the Office of the Registrar several weeks before any expected disbursement or other mailing from UW.
9. How to notify UW of your enrollment plans
Since you normally enroll in Outreach classes only a few weeks before the classes begin, the UW financial aid office does not have a clear picture of your academic plans for the semester until just before the semester starts. To assist us in preparing the correct amount of aid for your academic schedule, we ask that you phone this office at least a month before the start of your classes each semester, to notify us of your intended courseload. If you identify yourself as an Outreach student, your call will be transferred to the appropriate area of the office. Please remember to discuss any coursework you may be planning to take from a Wyoming community college, when you call.
10. Reduction in enrollment hours must be reported
When recipients of financial aid withdraw completely from the school which disbursed their aid, we will verify current enrollment at the host school. A Return of Title IV funds may be calculated if the student has done an all-school withdrawal from both schools before 60% of the enrollment period has been completed. Outreach students receiving financial aid of any kind are required to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid of their withdrawal.
11. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Outreach students must comply to the same SAP Standards as all students receiving federal financial aid. Please see the following page: Satisfactory Academic Progress
12. In-school loan deferment provisions may vary
If you have an unpaid balance on a Federal Perkins, NDSL, Nursing, or Pharmacy Loan made by UW and are otherwise eligible for a student deferment, your loan may be deferred based on your enrollment in the required number of credit hours. If you are enrolled in one of the cooperative programs, you should bring that information to the attention of the UW Office of Student Financial Operations when you request the deferment. Perkins, and other loans made by another college can be deferred by that college but you may have to provide additional information regarding the nature of the Wyoming cooperative degree arrangement, if that is applicable to you. In your correspondence with your previous school(s), you may wish to refer to the cooperative program as a "consortium agreement," since that is the term by which such programs are nationally known.
Federal Direct loans, GSL, Supplemental, ALAS, or SLS Loans from UW or from other colleges may be deferred while you enroll in UW Outreach courses. Please contact your lender for the appropriate deferment forms. If you are in one of the cooperative programs and taking classes from both UW and a community college, you should read the following:
The college which would award your financial aid ( the "home" college) is the college to which you should send your request for in-school deferment. If you are a junior or a senior, for example, UW is your home college. Please attach a note to your deferment form each semester, drawing the UW Registrar's attention to the fact that you are enrolled in a cooperative program and have hours at both UW and a community college. If you are receiving financial aid that semester, it is likely that UW already has documentation of your combined hours. If not, that documentation will have to be obtained from the community college before UW can certify your total hours of enrollment.

If you could ask Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, the CEO of The LEGO Group, one question, what would it be?
Would you ask about his leadership style? What it takes to run a huge international company? What his thoughts are on the fan community? What his involvement with the community is? Or maybe what his favorite set is? Those are just some ideas, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Hey everyone! Set reviews have been a fixture of the BZPower front page for a long time now, and we're always looking for ways to make them better. Today we're turning to you guys to get some feedback to help with that process.
To help clarify, a text/image review is the 'classic' BZP review format, for example xccj's review of 76022 X-Men vs The Sentinel.
A video review is fairly self-explanatory, for example my review of 41056 Heartlake News Van.
A lot of times we try to do both a text/image review and a video review for each set. But sometimes, due to time constraints or reviewer preference, we only do one (as in the examples above).
We want to get an idea of which you like more so we can make sure we're providing you with the content you want the most. As an aside, we'd also like to hear your thoughts on the speed-building some video reviews feature.
Moving aside from the poll questions, we're open to any feedback you'd like to provide on reviews in general. Do you like the formats we use? Is there anything we can do better? What parts do you like the best that we should keep doing?
We appreciate your help in improving BZPower!
Hey there everyone! We'd like to get your feedback about a longstanding feature of BZPower - polls! We used to have an entire forum dedicated to them, but these days they can go just about anywhere.
Did you know we had polls on BZPower? Do you wish you could make polls? Are you considering buying a Premier Membership just so you can make polls? We want to know your thoughts!
Your input is always appreciated and will go to improving BZPower.
I received the following from Kim Thomsen of the LEGO CEE Team:If you are interested in being on the list, post here or send me a PM.
We would like to create a list of female AFOLs.
Please send the following information to me if you know one that we should have on the list.
Full name, e-mail and [talent]
Possible talents:
I have no idea why they are trying to put this list together, I'm just passing on the word.
If you have any questions about the responsibilities or anything about the new program, I'll do my best to answer them.
Hello Ambassadors,
I just wanted to give everyone an exciting update on the upcoming LEGO Ambassador Network!
We are right now in final phases of finishing the documentation as well as the communication plan.
So here is the plan.
End of MAY announcement of the new network. This will include all of the documentation.
End of September GO LIVE. Meaning we will start accepting application and bring ambassadors into the new forums.
When we release all of the documentation end of May we will also host a number of sessions to answer questions. We will also send this information out to every contact we have as well as encourage fan sites to share it as well. We want all of the AFOL community to be aware of the program.
Between May and September we hope that every community group selects their ambassador and can start filling out the application form (will also go out end of May). This way when we go live we can on board as many community groups as possible.
Also regarding the forums. I can confirm that we will be moving to a new platform and it is the same platform we now use LEGO IDEAS on. While we are still finalizing exact look and feel of the forum, we are aiming to have a nice clean and simple interface as you can now experience on the new IDEAS site. Be aware that we will not migrate anything from the LEGO Project Rooms forum, it will be a fresh start. We will continue to use LPR until we go live on the new forum.
Just to highlight a couple big changes within the new LEGO Ambassador network.
These are just some of the many highlights to the new program. We are looking forward to creating a dramatic shift with this program which we feel will create strong value to community groups as well as TLG. There is a number of very interesting topic that we would like to the workgroups to tackle right from day one and we are sure that many ambassadors have ideas to formulate and co-create as well!
- The LEGO Ambassador Networks primary function is to act as a hub for Ambassadors to network and strength relationships as well as interacting with the community team
- To qualify for an ambassadorship you must represent an AFOL community group (i.e. LUG or online site)
- There is no pre-requisites to being an ambassador from TLG, however there is a level of professionalism and respectful behavior which we expect Ambassadors to live up to.
- It is a requirement to have an ambassador in order for a LUG to have access to support programs (i.e. LUGBULK)
- Within the forum there will be Workgroups which will have focused conversations around topics
- Each workgroup will be managed by one or more community team members as well as one or more Ambassadors which are selected by me
- Workgroups provide the opportunity to focus discussion and create content which can be used by other Ambassadors or provide strong argument to take to TLG for consideration.
Please be looking forward to get the full information at the end of the month!

Earlier this year, Under the Same Moon (originally titled La Misma Luna) was bought at Sundance by Fox Searchlight and The Weinstein Company for a surprisingly high amount of money. It's understandable because underneath the film's unsubtle messages about undocumented Mexican workers working to survive in the U.S., it's essentially an old-fashioned family melodrama. I caught the film at Austin Film Festival this year, and it's currently scheduled to hit theaters in March 2008.
Rosario (Kate del Castillo) is a young immigrant from Mexico living and working in Los Angeles to support her nine-year-old son Carlitos (Adrian Alonso), who lives with Rosario's mother in Mexico. He hasn't seen his mother in four years and misses her terribly. Meanwhile, Rosario is trying to scrape up enough money for a lawyer to help her bring Carlitos to America legally. When his grandmother dies, Carlitos decides to cross the border himself and travel to Los Angeles to find his mother, because he's scared she'll forget about him. He encounters an unlikely lot of helpers and companions during his attempt, including American college students (America Ferrera and Jesse Garcia) who want to make extra money smuggling children over the border, and Enrique (Eugenio Derbez), a migrant worker who has no desire to deal with a small child on his hands. The movie is Patricia Riggen's feature directorial debut. It begins a little confusingly -- we don't know the characters yet, so in the opening scene where people are trying to cross the border at night, the focus is unclear. The following sequence seems to be meant to show what Rosario is doing in Los Angeles at the same time that Carlos is in Mexico, but it takes a minute to realize they're not all in the same house. Once the setup is complete, however, the plot progresses steadily and smoothly.
Under the Same Moon has an overt agenda: it wants to make you think about the plight of U.S. undocumented workers, and it's not at all subtle about it. Rosario is treated badly by a woman for whom she cleans house, who tells her, "What are you going to do, call the police? Go right ahead." The message is broadcast literally through local radio in the background, such as Spanish-language deejays making jokes about immigration law, and an amusing song about how Superman didn't enter this country legally, either. The story itself should have been able to carry this message alone, and might have been more effective without all the embellishments; as it is, it feels like overkill.
The storyline and many of the characters are stock -- change the actors in the story to Jackie Cooper and Irene Dunne, and maybe Fredric March, and the plot would work perfectly as a 1930s weepie. We've all seen movies about characters attempting a cross-country journey under difficult circumstances. It is not quite believable that a nine-year-old would be as canny -- and as lucky -- as Carlitos, but then this is not meant to be a gritty realistic film. It's a melodrama with inspirational moments, designed to make you smile through tears.
Fortunately, the performances help pull the movie out of tired melodrama and make it watchable -- especially Adrian Alonso as Carlitos. I liked this movie even though the dialogue occasionally seemed trite, even though I rolled my eyes at caricatures of "bad" people, even though it bordered on the emotionally manipulative ... even though I suspected I knew the ending because of the companies that had bought the distribution rights. The story is not innovative, it travels a very familiar road. But the main characters and a few of the minor ones, like Paco the security guard who loves Rosario and Carmen who runs a business of sneaking people over the border, were all warm and real and avoided the easy stereotypes. Despite its flaws, Under the Same Moon is an entertaining film that knows how to charm an audience.

Since 1985, providing food, dignity and kindness to anyone, of any faith, background or circumstance, who is hungry and in need of a meal.
Located at the United Church of Spring Valley
11 East Church Street, Spring Valley, NY
Monday through Friday, 7:00 to 8:00 a.m.
Download our quarterly newsletter (PDF) here.
The Rockland Interfaith Breakfast Program is a free, volunteer-run program that provides a hot breakfast and bagged lunch to anyone who enters through its doors at the United Church of Spring Valley. It is an all-faith supported, non-sectarian program that serves a diverse population from Spring Valley as well as the homeless in Rockland, who are brought in to have a hot meal and place to eat.
Here are some other important facts about the program:
The program is made possible by an unbelievably committed group of 70 dedicated volunteers, 22 from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Rockland. Many are well into their active seventies and eighties and have been with the program for over 20 years. The program is also supported by Marianne Leese, RIBP's grant writer and administrator; Carolyn Giles, its program coordinator; and Chris Murray, Helping Hands executive director and on-site facilitator during the mornings.
Equipment and facilities are the original and approaching their useful lifespan, and some days more than 160 individuals come through the doors seeking food and warmth. We need funds to purchase supplies, maintain the stove and range, and buy new cooking utensils and cleaning products. We always need more volunteers for the mornings, and in general we need help to coordinate and plan for the program, and even to do some "heavy lifting" on certain days. Click here to volunteer!
Financial donations are desperately needed and are fully tax-deductible -- 100% of all donations go to this service. Please consider a generous donation now, and a monthly recurring gift to insure the future. Details for how you can make a contribution may be found by clicking on Get Involved.

As the clock ticks closer to 2011, the chances are good that you will be celebrating or sleeping in peace. Particularly after this year, it is worth remembering who is helping to ensure your safety.
There is a strong argument to remember 2010 locally as the Year of the Police Officer.
The story that drew the most reaction from this newspaper's readers was the March death of Jackson Police Officer James Bonneau. He was the victim of a shooting that also left his colleague, Blackman Township Officer Darin McIntosh, seriously wounded.
Beyond that sorrow, law enforcement officials were in the news constantly, dealing with the array of human misery that comes with the job:
• Police acted heroically when a 6-year-old was mauled by three pit bulls in Jackson this summer.
• They made arrests in murders like that of 21-year-old Romeo Gibson, shot after trying to make peace with an unruly teenager, or Benjamin Willard, killed in Jackson in July.
• As the year ended, they (and community members) continued to search for women who were missing: Grass Lake resident Tonia Stiles and Linda Cousino of Albion. The case of Stiles was made more complicated by the suicide in jail of her longtime boyfriend.
Police face challenges every day, every month and every year, although it certainly feels like 2010 was extraordinary for the extreme examples of crime and suffering, if not their number.
What clearly changed in 2010 from past years were the challenges that local police departments faced outside the line of duty. Tightening budgets for local governments meant questions about what level of protection communities could afford, and that led to several visible changes.
The Parma-Sandstone police department closed. Leoni Township's public-safety force merged with that of Blackman Township. Jackson's police officers faced furloughs, and their numbers already are low by historical standards. On top of that, Jackson city officials publicly discussed ideas as radical as doing away with the police force in favor of a contract with the county sheriff for protection.
The remarkable part of all this is how little it affected police officers. Or, how little they let it show. Police departments almost always responded to their many calls for help properly and professionally.
Rarely do we hear credible complaints that law enforcement with the state, county, city or townships provide anything less than the level of service that the public expects. That speaks to their training, these departments' leaders and the character of officers who take seriously their pledge to serve and protect, even at a time when police departments are pressed financially.
This was not an easy year for police departments, yet they did much good in trying circumstances. They made Jackson County safer and still a good place to live.
Officers might say they were only doing the job. We'd say they did it exceptionally well.

There has to be some two-way work for these things. But actually as Xen
based VM is much more likely to reach a point where any OS can sit as a VM,
already having good guest coverage, then MS may be digging themselves a pit
and finding they are few people willing to sit in there with them.
If you go to the trouble of ensuring your OS is VM complient, then you want
it to be able to sit on as many platforms as possible without the need for
extra work or multiple products. For that Xen based systems are much more
likely to be the target.
I know it is a long way off before I get your socks, but still, I bet you
both socks that in time MS will be forced to eat humble pie and make what
ever OS they are up to at the time VM complient.
VM will not go away, we will all be sitting on VM'ed OS's (partial or full)
eventually. MS have to play the game or they will lose out.

Okay so I'm sitting here wondering, after having watched the video and having read most of the comments, why doesn't Microsoft rewrite all of those OS libraries that were written in managed code in C++? Why not write the .NET framework in C++ while keeping the APIs as they are? Then the only meta data that is needed is for the .NET app itself, not the entire framework.
If you have developer productivity managed apps that are running as a thin layer on top highly optimized C++ doesn't everybody win? What am I missing?

The wildfires that devastated poor neighborhoods in Valparaiso, Chile, are under control Thursday. Fifteen people died, more than 11,000 lost their homes, and at least three churches were destroyed, officials said.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet promised to rebuild but with tighter building codes.
"We think this is a tremendous tragedy, but ... it is also a tremendous opportunity to do things right," Bachelet said in an interview with radio station El Diario de Cooperativa.
"What we're looking at in terms of reconstruction is how to rebuild in a more orderly manner, better and more worthy" of Valparaiso's status as a World Heritage City, she added.
Firefighters say it may take three weeks to extinguish the embers, which the wind could spread to other neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, volunteers joined homeless residents to clean up the communities where flames consumed more than 3,000 homes.
In addition, Christians are working to provide meals and supplies to those who lost their homes.
Costa Rican missionary Jonathan Chinchilla said the approach of winter, being below the equator, makes the relief effort more urgent.
"Right now, many people are going to Valparaiso go to clean, to help the people, to pray, to bring clothes, food," he said.
"Right now, we are going into winter, so it's so cold right now here so we need more clothes for the people to not get frozen there because right now it's really, really cold," he said.
Churches from around the country are collecting blankets and other supplies for the thousands of families left homeless by the Valparaiso fire.

SOLON - It took about 90 minutes for the Howland Tigers girls' basketball team to take care of business in an 84-18 win over Cleveland John Adams Feb. 26.
The Tigers now have a week to look ahead to a meeting Thursday with Twinsburg in a district semifinal game involving the top seeded teams in the tournament.
"We kind of knew this summer, and Twinsburg knew that we would probably play this game," Howland coach John Diehl said after the rout of John Adams at Solon High School. "The Twinsburg coaches and myself said that we were eventually going to meet."
Twinsburg (18-3) is seeded first in the district. The Tigers are 22-0 and seeded second.
Both teams showed why they deserve the lofty rankings. Like Howland, Twinsburg was dominant in moving on with a 74-19 win over Garfield Heights in the first game last night.
Twinsburg has a talented 6-foot-4 freshman in Malina Howard, but that doesn't mean Howland will have to focus solely on her.
"Their guards give a lot of pressure up front," Diehl said. "They love to shoot the 3-pointer. They've probably shot more 3-pointers than any team we've played. We scrimmaged them this year and played them in the summer league, and in the summer league we did real well against them and in the scrimmage we did real well. If they're off on their 3-pointers, we'll win. If they're connecting on their 3s, it could be a long night."
It was anything but a long night for the Tigers in their rout of the Rebels. Howland scored the first nine points and 18 of the first 20 on the way to a 25-6 lead after the first quarter.
Diehl substituted freely throughout. No matter which combination he put on the floor, the Tigers scored with ease.
"We came out strong in the first quarter," Diehl said. "Everyone was hustling. I was happy with that because I didn't want them to think it wasn't going to be a game tonight. I want them to be ready to go next week when we play Twinsburg. I don't like running scores up on teams, and I didn't want to get to 100, but you can't tell the 14th or 15th girl not to hustle."
Senior Kelly Barzak led the scoring parade for the Tigers with 33 points, including 14 in the first period. Barzak connected on 13 shots from the floor and was 7-of-9 from the foul line.
Freshman Taylor Williams added 15 points for the Tigers. Erika Nites, also a freshman, finished with 11 points.
Howland scored 24 points in the second quarter before a fielder by John Adams' Chanel Davis, who scored 11 points. The Tigers, who led 51-8 at halftime, scored the final 19 points of the third quarter after allowing a fielder by Tashira Brantley to open the stanza.
Despite leading 70-10 through three quarters, Diehl kept his starters in at times in the fourth quarter to give them valuable time on the floor.
"I've always been a firm believer, especially at tournament time, that the more familiar you are with the floor, the more comfortable you are," Diehl said. "That's why I don't like taking a bye. I want to get on the floor as many times as I can before playing one of the seeded teams."
Diehl made sure to remind the players afterwards that the easy part of the tournament road has come to an end. It gets serious next week.
"I told the seniors that this is our last night to have fun," he said. "Starting Thursday it's going to be tough from here on out."

Wild Orchid, the erotic thriller set in Brazil and starring Mickey Rourke, is blossoming with preproduction intrigue. Jacqueline Bisset will replace Anne Archer, who reportedly abandoned the part of a "sensual investment banker" because the scenes were too steamy. Though Archer's publicist, Deborah Kelman, says there were "creative differences," director Zalman King hints that those differences were the sex scenes. "Women have flirted with this, but when it becomes a reality it's difficult," says King. "I don't want to compromise." King has also cast Vogue cover girl Carré Otis in the role for which Brooke Shields auditioned. What happened to Shields? "She wouldn't take her clothes off. That was our creative difference."
"I was flabbergasted when it got an X," says British director Michael Caton-Jones, who made an emergency trip to Manhattan to "tame" his Scandal orgy. "I've learned how puritanical Americans are, more repressed than the British. You always have sheets glued to the actors' chests. The orgy was never about eroticism—it was about the absurdity of a life-style." To get an R rating, Caton-Jones took out "the couple copulating on the piano and the woman sipping tea and not taking any notice." An endangered shot of Britt Ekland (left, with John Hurt) sporting gold nipples remains. "The gold was Britt's idea," says the director.
Although Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are recording together again, they haven't gotten so carried away that they're actually speaking very much. A well-placed source says the studio sessions began after a handwritten agreement specified which performer would do what, so there would be no bickering. During their planned fall tour, there will be designated go-betweens to run interference. The office of Stones press agent Paul Wasserman says, "We know nothing about it."
Peter Fonda has signed to tell his tumultuous tale to Delacorte Press for a reported $750,000. "It will be a story of what it's like being in the eye of three tornadoes: the Henry Fonda family and all that entailed, the '60s and Hollywood," says Delacorte spokesman Bob Miller. Expect the most poignant chapter to be Peter's account of the 1950 suicide of his mother, Frances Brokaw: Just discussing the ordeal led the 49-year-old actor to break down and weep in one editor's office.

A friend of mine lives in a part of the country where expenses are so high that nearly every couple works two high-paying jobs and still struggles financially. So how do they get by?
The answer shocked me — they accept money from their parents.
"It's not a matter of whether you do or do not accept money from your parents," she said. "But how much."
My friend was talking about more than simple birthday or Christmas gifts. For her and her friends, parental cash flow affects the household's bottom line.
Some parents send a check every month. Others give generously at holidays, provide extensive child care or pay for entire family vacations. Still other parents pay for school tuition or establish college funds for grandkids.
It can be difficult for grown adults to accept money from parents. Many people turn it down because of pride. Others are held up by particulars. Does there need to be a written contract? How do you ask for more, or less? Most importantly, is it possible to have "no strings attached"?
A contract is not usually necessary, but depends on what everyone involved is comfortable with. Asking for more or less comes down to explaining the request and being able to accept the answer — and additional strings. Because after the agreement is made, the strings linger.
Financial gifts nearly always come with strings attached. And the bigger the gift, the more strings there are.
For instance, my mom used to send me $100-$300 every month in college. I had a family credit card for groceries, but everything else was on me — clothes, movies, subway tokens — and the paycheck from my part-time job didn't go far. There were few strings attached to this money, partly because it was a relatively low dollar amount. (Though it did encourage me to call home every week.)
Years later when my husband and I prepared to buy a condo, my mom advanced me a large portion of my inheritance so that I could contribute to the down payment. We wrote up a simple agreement about the terms and both kept a signed copy. The rules were very clear, which made it easier on both of us. The money came with one very strong string — it was not to be used for anything else.
There is nothing wrong with taking money from parents as long as two conditions exist. The support has got to benefit both sides (don't take money from parents who can't afford it). And both sides must agree to and accept the strings attached.

Paul Vallely Denies 'Absolutely False' Coup Statements That He Absolutely Made
Former Army general turned right-wing activist Paul Vallely is vehemently denying the fact that he said he would support the overthrow of President Obama. He recently posted this brief statement on the homepage of his website:
MG Vallely Statement – Talk of Coup Support FALSE!
"Statements on the web and elsewhere that attribute me as supporting a coup are absolutely false. From the day I took my oath as a young Army lieutenant to this very day I have supported and defended the Constitution of the United States.
A coup is counter to the guiding principles laid out there. Disagreement and dissension are not! It's time for change in America and I support that change – but only in a lawful, Constitutional manner." - MG Paul E. Vallely (US Army-Ret.)
Unfortunately for Vallely, we have the audio from a Tea Party event at which he said that while he opposes an anti-Obama revolution, he would "certainly head it if we had to."
Vallely is also promoting Operation American Spring, a rally with the goal of forcing Obama out of office, and has proposed a citizen's arrest of the president along with various unconstitutional ways of removing Obama from office, such as a national recall vote.
The ex-general even believes that the "traditional process" of government is insufficient to remove Obama from office and called for an Egyptian-style uprising:
We are still waiting for Vallely to dispute the comments that he clearly made, rather than just offer a vague statement about how direct quotes of him calling for extralegal and unconstitutional means to remove the president from office are somehow "absolutely false."

'Short Chair'
Marcel Breuer (1902–1981)
Manufactured by Isokon Furniture Co., London
Moulded birch plywood with zebrano veneer
79.2 x 62.2 x 98.5cm
Museum no. CIRC.80–1975
Given by Mr and Mrs Dennis Young
The Isokon 'Short Chair' – along with its companion piece, the full-length 'Long Chair' – was a translation into plywood of an aluminium chair designed by Marcel Breuer in 1932. When Breuer emigrated to Britain, Walter Gropius had just been appointed Controller of Design to Jack Pritchard's fledgling Isokon Furniture Company, and it was Gropius's suggestion that Breuer design a version of the aluminium chair in plywood.
The sensuous curves of the plywood seat, with its built-in headrest, are played off against the four strips of bentwood that support it and also supply the armrests. This is one of the most comfortable chairs of the 1930s, and one that has provoked many a Hampstead intellectual to fall asleep over his or her Penguin book. English traditional notions of comfort and Modernist principles of clear expression of materials and structure were perfectly combined in this design.

Bret Michaels
Have you ever watched some really b-level porn? Nevermind...y'all have and won't admit to it. When watching that porn, have you ever seen some of that more brutal "throat rape", where a dude literally chokes a woman to the point of passing out with an aggressive thrusting designed to blow out the back of her skull JFK style? Did you ever wonder what the chick was thinking at that exact moment? You have to image she was thinking, "man, this seemed like it would be a great idea before we started, but now I'm realizing just how awful this is and how detrimental this could be to the rest of my life." Listening to Bret Michaels' JAMMIN' WITH FRIENDS is pretty much the same. While it may have seemed like a good idea at the time, the result is just another horrific example of the fact that Michaels is barely a musician anymore; more interested in a name-dropping fest than actually putting any sort of effort into providing a quality product to the sheep that still buy his garbage.
Every possible thing that could be wrong with JAMMIN' WITH FRIENDS is, with the exception of the production being solid. That's actually to the detriment of Michaels though, as it really proves just how lazy his performance is time and time again. His vocal performance of the overdone, repeatedly reworked Michael's penned Poison song "Nothin' But A Good Time" is abysmal. It's nearly a spoken word version of it, made far worse by having to tolerate shitty yelling by rapper L'il Jon. It's literally unlistenable, much like damn near every other song on the disc. Once again, Michaels finds that it's not worth the effort to write much new material for his fans, instead opting to once again prostitute both the Poison and solo catalog to remake songs that were barely necessary in the first place. Here's a hint to Michaels - we know your daughter's name is "Raine", and we know that song is special to you. Ultimately though, it's a shit song that very few people liked then. Reworking it and adding the great Edwin McCain to it does not make it any more tolerable.
When Michaels does write some new material, it's pretty much as abysmal as anything that's reworked poorly here. "You Know You Want It" is the worst song of Michaels' career, and just might be the worst song ever recorded by a formerly platinum selling artist. It's an embarrassing attempt to write a song for the dance clubs. Just imagining this 50 year old guy crooning to bitches to back up on his dick because they know they want it is pretty pathetic and poor. But that's Michaels for you in 2013; a media whore desperately trying to prove that he's still relevant and "hip" to the kids. Another original, "The App Song" is just as bad with all it's references to being modern. We get it, Bret, you have a smartphone. It has apps and you can text with it. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure 10 years from now when all that technology is dated, you'll rerecorded this song again and just replace the words with whatever technology is popular at the moment. That's the lazy way out, so it's expected.
PITRIFF RATING - 1/100 - There's a list of albums from 80s artists that are pretty much the worst of all time from the genre. Such jewels as Gene Simmons' A$$HOLE, Lynch Mob's SMOKE THIS, Dokken's SHADOWLIFE and Motley Crue's GENERATION SWINE all are on this list. Fortunately for them though, Bret Michaels keeps putting out solo albums that push them down that list. JAMMIN' WITH FRIENDS though might just have cemented the #1 spot forevermore. As God awful as it gets, you are better served to carve your ears out of your head than to listen to this.

Stabbing Style: Steal the Cold Steel Pin for That Dexter FanSunny Chanel
Are you or someone you love a Dexter fan? The show was just signed to do their 7th season, good news for all those who adore to watch this serial killer and dad each and every week.

text: What really has me stumped, though, isn't that food tastes and smells differently. Heck, that's a side effect of most of the drugs out there, a sinus problem or a multitude of other things. It's that she says the texture is different now. I just can't wrap my head around that one, let alone figure out why it's happening.
