PHILADELPHIA — Rutgers coach Mike Rice believes that despite his anointed star player status, Dane Miller does not have to carry the burden. But as Miller walked to the end of an empty bench after fouling out, he was searching for answers as to why he had come up empty. Why he couldn't perform up to expectations.
So last night in the cramped hallway of the Palestra, Miller did carry the burden — for an ugly night.
"I wasn't attacking the basket, I wasn't offensive rebounding, I wasn't getting guys open, I was lost," a somber Miller said. "Coach Rice gives me the opportunity to take over the game at any point, no matter when it is. I didn't do that. I lost the game — period."
After flying high following a victory over Miami and then a follow-up thumping of Norfolk State, Rutgers was grounded by a young Saint Joseph's team, 76-70 last night. Done in by a lethal mix of quickness by the Hawks guards and what Rice termed as "soft" defense, dreams of a 4-1 start to the Scarlet Knights' season were quickly erased.
"We didn't have an edge tonight," Rice said. "Our big guys didn't have an edge. There was no physicality. Our defense? They dribbled around and did whatever they wanted to do. We were always chasing tonight. Our closeouts were poor. The details of what we did were very poor. I thought we were a soft team on the defensive side tonight."
Without Miller — who scored just two points — Rutgers (3-2) couldn't drum up any answers to stop St. Joe's guards. While the Scarlet Knights were led by 13 points from senior guard Mike Coburn, the rest of the team struggled from the floor.
Meanwhile, the St. Joe's backcourt of Carl Jones (21 points) and freshman Langston Galloway (20 points), had their way with Rutgers. The duo's quickness was too much for the Scarlet Knights to handle at a number of junctures.
"I don't mind getting beat," Rice said. "I want to tell them which way they have to beat us though. We have a certain formula and (Rutgers defenders) were just dropping their heads off the bounce so quickly. Not even giving (the help) a chance. It wasn't even east-west, it was just north-south."
But the big missing ingredient was Miller.
The problems began almost immediately after the opening tip. Miller, counted on by many to be the team's go-to player, was handcuffed by foul trouble less than three minutes in. After sitting out for much of the half, Rice had no choice but to put his star back in.
Unfortunately for Rutgers, Miller was still ineffective. After the half, he picked up his third foul and then shortly after, his fourth. But by that time it was already too late — the damage had been done.
"I like going to the basket, so it really limited me from being in attack mode," Miller said. "I feel like after those (first) two fouls and then when I came back in, I missed two layups — my head was just blurry. I talked to myself, tried to pick it up. Then a couple calls didn't go my way. But like I said, I just can't wait until the second half — with six minutes left — to be aggressive."
Rice didn't want to lay the blame at the feet of Miller, but he knows that in order for his team to be successful, Miller has to play a central role.
"Dane's stat line doesn't help us win at all," Rice said. "For our supposed go-to guy to be sitting on the bench and when we call plays for him, he's not finishing at the rim. Again, he's going to learn that."

The citizens of Anchorage wince at the idea of winter in Fairbanks, 360 miles to the north, and the people in Fairbanks shudder at the very mention of Coldfoot, a truckstop 260 miles up the road, inside the Arctic Circle. But such distinctions are lost on the rest of us, for whom the difference between Coldfoot's worst-case winter windchill of -100°F and Fairbanks' relatively balmy -40°F is a number that conveys no understanding. "Human beings are not meant to inhabit this part of the earth," says an Anchorage nightclub owner. Yet inhabit it they do: some 540,000 souls at last count, living year-round in a state more than twice the size of Texas and enduring temperatures that may huddle for months in brain-numbing negatives, only to soar over 90°F during Alaska's brief, verdant summer.
To keep their spirits up through the seemingly endless winter, Alaska's Yup'ik Eskimos on barren St. Lawrence Island used to tell stories of a place where "young men could go for long walks and see a tree." More urban neighbors have developed their own storytelling tradition; humorist Tom Bodett describes the tall tales that turn "ditch diving"—or skidding off the road on winter ice—into a winter sport with extra points for swerving to avoid a school bus. What kind of people can laugh in the face of this deep freeze? To find out, PEOPLE went to Alaska.
The darnedest things fall out of Cliff Hudson's planes. The 62-year-old bush pilot, who has been plying Alaska's northern reaches since 1948, recalls the time some years back when a customer developed a hankering for eggs. Unfortunately he lived 60 miles from the nearest grocery store and even farther from an accommodating hen, so he radioed Hudson to fly in low and drop a carton out the window. "I packed 'em real good and let 'em go," says Cliff, "and I'll be damned if that box didn't roll right up on the guy's front porch." Moreover, all 12 eggs survived the fall unbroken. Another time, Hudson recalls, a frisky sled dog hit the door handle of Cliff's plane. The husky fell 1,000 feet into deep drifts and bounced up onto the snow. Hudson, unable to put down at the spot, found the hungry, frightened animal four days later and was able to land and fly him home.
A former steeplejack, Hudson came north from Yakima, Wash., in 1947 to join his bush-pilot brother Glen (who died in a plane crash in 1951). They worked out of tiny Talkeetna (pop. 264), about 30 Cessna minutes north of Anchorage. "In those days," says Hudson, "you didn't get anywhere in Alaska unless you flew." Today, though, trappers and miners often travel by road, and many of the customers for Hudson's $185-an-hour services are sportsmen and climbers bound for 20,320-foot Denali, otherwise known as Mount McKinley. It can be tricky landing on the glaciers, trickier still to reach the summit on foot. A few times a year, Hudson may bring a customer out in a body bag. As for his own remarkable record, flying the back country for 40 years without a serious accident, Hudson says, "Mother Nature smiles on some and frowns on others. I never question her. I never hurry."
Hello all mariners, this is WBH 29, Kodiak. "Peggy Dyson, 58, leans toward the mike in the back bedroom of her home on Kodiak Island. Scanning her maps and the latest National Weather Service printout, she begins her twice-daily broadcast to the tugs and fishing boats, freighters and supertankers battling the hurricane-force winds and 45-foot waves that often rake this mean northern ocean. "There's a drama on the seas in winter," says Dyson. "When you're fishing folk, the weather dictates your life." Already this year, two of the 500-plus boats in the Kodiak fleet have gone down, killing seven.
Peggy began broadcasting in the '60s to stay in touch with her fisherman husband, Oscar, 71, now retired. Soon, other boats were tuning into the clear signal of her 1,000-watt transmitter, listening for the weather reports—and much more. "I'd get calls from fishermen, 'Pay my electric bill or I'll be cut off,' or 'It's my wife's birthday, and I need you to send flowers,' " Peggy says. "In all the years I've been advancing them money, no one has ever reneged." In 1975 the Weather Service made her official with a small stipend. "When you're out on the water," says fisherman Jan Messersmith, "you're just glad she's there."
Fur trapper Jim Smith, 51, has "a lot of time to think" at the tiny cabin that he built for himself in the foothills of the Alaska range. In the single room where he eats, sleeps and skins animals, a copy of The Joy of Cooking sits next to his Remington .270 rifle. In the evening he sips herb tea and reads Edgar Allan Poe, or contemplates the waving ribbons of the northern lights in the night sky. Trips to Fairbanks, 50 miles to the north, are infrequent. He goes there just two or three times a year to sell pelts, buy supplies and "look at girls," he says. The life-style is "not for everybody," he concedes, which is probably a vast understatement.
Smith had a wife once or twice and has five children in all, but he almost never sees them. Years ago he tried commercial fishing and building log cabins, but his distaste for people, and a bad divorce, sent him back into the hills to stay. A few women have found him there, but not for long. "You get moody when you're alone," says Smith, who even advertised once for a companion, with no success. "You want to see someone and you don't. You become difficult to live with. After a time, the women wander."
A former Army sergeant and a combat veteran of Korea and Vietnam, Smith finds it disturbing that so much of his life still involves killing and death. Traveling by snowmobile in sub-zero weather, he tends 100 miles of line in the 30-square-mile territory he "farms" for wolf, fox, beaver and lynx. "Pain is pain," he says, looking at a pile of carcasses lying in the snow. "I trap because that's what I know how to do. If I could make baskets, I would." He sets his first traps in late fall and checks them almost daily. "At the start of the season, I go like crazy, bent on slaughter," he admits. "But you can only kill and skin so much." Now, in late winter, he says, "when I go down my line and see how a wolf has evaded me, it makes my day."
At R.J.'s Lounge in Fairbanks, Slo' Mo and His Kayakers, a string band led by mandolin player Mo Samuelson, a Yup'ik Eskimo, has the regulars tapping their toes to moody Hank Williams medleys. Singer Robert Charlie wails a lament about cattle herds and lonesome cowboys, both conspicuously scarce in Alaska. Still, when the temperature hits—25°F, even mournful country tunes, mingling with a blue pall of smoke, can be heartwarming. Fur trappers and traders introduced fiddling to Alaska in the mid-1800s, along with some jigs and reels that have long since disappeared from the interlopers' native Orkney Islands and Scotland but which live on in the subarctic. During the Yukon Gold Rush of the 1890s, square dances and the Virginia reel were added to the Alaskan repertoire. And Hank Williams? Well, back in the '40s, some Texas radio stations had very powerful signals. Athabascan Indians like the Kayakers' Johnson Moses, 63, are stars at the annual fiddling festival in Fairbanks. But Moses, who first picked up a fiddle at age 14, now wishes he hadn't. "I'm always sorry I learned," he says, "because I like to dance more than play."
In the arcane sport of ice-climbing, it is considered very bad form to slip on a frozen waterfall and plunge hundreds of feet to your death. Even worse is to leave your axes embedded in the ice—shameful proof that you could have held on. Risks aside, ice-climbing is also uncomfortable, as in "hard, wet, cold, slow and generally insecure," explains Dr. Andy Embick, 37. "You have to put up with a little suffering to really enjoy it." Embick, a Harvard-trained general practitioner, tries to suffer as often as possible and is perfectly situated to do it. As one of three doctors in the port of Valdez (pop. 3,300), Embick has easy access to the mile-high peaks and dramatic waterfalls of the surrounding Chugach Mountains. From November to May, when even rushing water is frozen solid, macho mountaineers from all over the world descend on Valdez, known as the Switzerland of Alaska, to test themselves on these climbs, which bear colorful names like Dire Straits and Fang Gully.
Embick, brought up in Oregon, says he came to Valdez in 1979 just because he liked the idea of a small-town practice. "In Valdez," he says, "you're the orthopedic surgeon and the cardiologist and the obstetrician, so you don't get bored." But he did get lonely before he asked a former Pomona College classmate and family practice specialist, Kathy Todd, to sub for a vacationing local doctor in February 1980. Four months later they were married and now comprise two thirds of the local medical establishment.
A lifelong outdoorsman, Andy won a sculling championship in 1972 as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford. In 1973 he qualified for the U.S. nationals in bike racing, and in 1977 he placed 25th in the national championships in the 50-kilometer cross-country ski race. Now an avid kayaker and alpinist, he has the strength, concentration and methodical nature suited to winter mountaineering. "Before you go out, you spend a lot of time anticipating what you'll do," he says. "And after it's over, you spend a lot of time in the sauna."
There are more caribou than people in Alaska, and as many as 6,000 wolves, one of the caribou's chief predators. Without human intervention, these numbers could fluctuate radically over a period of years. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game unit, based in Fairbanks, tries to maintain some sort of equilibrium in its 7,000-square-mile territory by putting radio collars on wolves in the winter months and studying their movements and hunting patterns throughout the year. Such information helps them set hunting limits as well as monitor disease and mortality rates in the wolf population.
Today, from a hovering helicopter in the Snow Mountain Gulch area, wildlife biologist Mark McNay, 36, expertly brings down two running wolves with tranquilizer darts. With his colleague Ed Crain, 40, he lands to measure, weigh and attach collars to the somnolent animals. Then they administer a wake-up shot, and the wolves race off to rejoin their pack. "There's something about the way wolves look at you," says McNay, a former flight instructor. "I still get a thrill."
Barrow, Alaska, on the Arctic Ocean, is the northernmost point in North America. In winter, it is also one of the darkest. The sun set there on Nov. 19, 1987, and wasn't seen again until last Jan. 23. Getting through 64 days of night isn't easy, and this tiny nondescript outpost—home to 3,000 hardy hunters, whalers, lawyers and public employees—has one of the highest attempted suicide rates in Alaska.
But Barrow also has its own whimsical resilience: In January, when the first feeble rays of sunlight peeped back over the horizon, some Barrovians took to the ice to fly brightly colored kites in a jubilant celebration of the beginning of the end of the worst. Then they began looking toward those treasured weeks, still four months distant, when the sun will shine without setting for 84 straight days.
For even in Alaska, spring does come, followed by a spectacular if perishable outburst of summer lushness. It is hard to imagine a people who deserve it more.

Rich Naden and Eric Platt
After the demise of the record breaking 1997-1998 El Niño and the present development of La Niña, it is appropriate at this time to investigate the occurrence and effect of La Niña on west Texas climate. El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an episode of anomalously high and low sea surface temperatures in the equatorial and tropical Pacific associated with large-scale swings in surface air pressure between the western and eastern tropical Pacific. Many researchers believe that ENSO plays a large role in determining mid-latitude weather and short term climate fluctuations. In fact, ENSO accounts for a greater proportion of variance of climatic and oceanic fields on time scales from a season to ten years than any other single phenomenon, with the exception of the annual cycle (Wright, 1985; Nicholls, 1988).
La Niña conditions feature sub-normal sea surface temperatures through much of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, thus suppressing tropical thundershower activity in the region and inducing a weaker, more diffuse Pacific mid-latitude jet stream, and a different set of global weather changes. La Niña episodes are identified with strong up welling, cool waters, and descending air in the central to eastern Pacific and warmer waters with rising air in the western Pacific. The purpose of this paper is to show that there has been a direct negative effect (decrease) on precipitation at Midland, Texas during past La Niña events.
El Niño/La Niña Background
The terms El Niño and La Niña refer to opposite phases of sea surface temperature anomalies along the equatorial Pacific Ocean and the effects they induce on global weather patterns. The El Niño phase is associated with weak trade winds and lower pressure over the eastern Pacific while the La Niña phase is analogous with strong trades and lower pressure over the western Pacific. These two phases are considered the two extremes of the Southern Oscillation and are both identified with worldwide weather events. During an El Niño, above normal sea surface temperatures extend across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, resulting in an increase in tropical thundershower activity from the International Dateline eastward, sometimes all the way to the South American coastline. This increase in convection, which results above the warm, moisture-laden sea surface, acts as a "block" in the atmosphere, resulting in a reconfiguration of the jet streams and in subsequent weather changes in various parts of the globe.
Conversely, La Niña conditions feature below normal sea surface temperatures through a large portion of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. These cooler ocean waters tend to suppress tropical thundershower activity in these regions and induce less powerful upper atmospheric winds. The main effects of ENSO on the contiguous 48 states are seen from the late fall through early spring. This is because strong teleconnections between the tropics and mid latitudes are possible only when westerlies extend from the mid latitudes into the region of unusually warm or cold sea surface temperatures (Horel and Wallace, 1981; Webster, 1981; Schoner and Nicholson, 1989). This pattern is observed normally in winter, the time of year that most of the proposed teleconnections to the North American continent take place. La Niña winters are often characterized by strong intra seasonal fluctuations due to blocking episodes alternating with enhanced zonal flow as described on the NOAA/NWS Climate Prediction Center Web page. For many areas, especially the northern United States, La Niña winter's are more volatile and are subject to bouts of storminess and wide temperature swings, including more frequent, but progressive, arctic cold air outbreaks. Past research has indicated that the first three months of the year during a La Niña typically feature subnormal precipitation in the Southwest, the central and southern sections of the Rockies, Plains, and Florida.
Data and Methodology
This study is quite similar to work done at NWSO El Paso, Texas earlier this year (Reynolds, 1998). As with any ENSO study, a determination first had to be made as to what represents a La Niña, or cold event, year. The specific classifications for a La Niña are defined as an ENSO year during which the 5-month running means of the Niño 3 index SST anomalies are - 0.5C or less for at least six consecutive months; October, November, and December must be three of the months in this series. The series must originate before the beginning of the ENSO year (October). The definition of La Niña was specifically defined by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) while a symmetric definition could be used for El Niño. The specific prerequisite of three months of the series being October, November, and December coincides with the normally observed maximums in SST anomalies during an ENSO year. If the explicit guidelines are modified the ENSO years will vary. So the generated results are affected by the criteria used to categorize the ENSO years.
In this study a weak La Niña year was defined as an ENSO year during which the index values were between - 0.5C and - 1.0C for six consecutive months, including October, November, and December. A moderate to strong La Niña was defined when the JMA index values were equal to or exceeded - 1.0C for the six consecutive months and including the months of October, November, and December. If any of these conditions were met, then the anomaly year from October through the following September is considered a La Niña year. Table 1 indicates the La Niña years used.
La Niña episodes defined using the JMA index date back to 1869 and the last moderate to strong, well documented event was in 1988. Midland precipitation records date back to 1930. The first La Niña event using the JMA index after 1930 is 1938-1939. Thus, the years of this study range from 1938 to 1988, and it is from those 51 years that normals of precipitation were calculated for Midland (Tables 2 &3). Of the 51 years in this study, 11 were La Niña years. Midland monthly and seasonal precipitation totals were calculated for all of the La Niña years of this study and then were compared to monthly and seasonal precipitation totals for all of the years between 1938 - 1988 to determine the departure from normal precipitation during La Niña years. Besides departure from normals, average seasonal precipitation totals for La Niña years were compared to average seasonal precipitation totals for the non-La Niña years of this study. In this work, as with many other ENSO related articles, the autumn season is considered as September through November (SON), winter as December through February (DJF), and spring as March through May (MAM). The data calculations of this study were executed to demonstrate that a La Niña event has a negative effect on the Midland, Texas precipitation record.
A comparison of the seasons used in this study shows that winter (DJF) holds the greatest variability in rainfall received. This would not be totally unexpected since the average precipitation was the least for the winter and the distribution of the observations would be further from a normal distribution that the other two seasons involved in this study. Winter percent of normals ranged from a high of 315% in 1938 to a low of 5% in 1970. Besides the high of 315% in 1938, precipitation received in any one of the seasons during all the La Niña years was greater than 141% of normal only one other time.
The results of this study demonstrate that La Niña has distinct effects on Midland, Texas precipitation. Overall, the moderate to strong La Niña events (Tables 2) showed a greater likelihood to be below normal (75% of normal) for all three seasons when compared to the weak La Niña events (87% of normal).
Analyses of past La Niña studies and past precipitation records for Texas and the southern plains show there has been a negative effect (decrease) on precipitation totals during most La Niña years. From this study, the most decisive finding is that the precipitation totals in any given season for a La Niña year are likely to be below normal. The autumn and spring seasons are more likely than the winter season to have below normal precipitation with the spring season being the most likely. However, in rare cases, precipitation totals may exceed 315% of normal during a La Niña episode.

Having driven hundreds of miles to Dortmund to watch the famous BVB 09, something 1000 Brits do at every home game, we wanted somewhere near the ground and comfortable.
Why we have never stayed here before I don't know, friendly, efficient welcome from staff, clean comfortable room for a rest before a special burger in the restaurant. I read a review before visiting that there was no atmosphere, airy comfortable rooms may appear sterile with no carpet, and it did sound like upstairs was tap dancing, but cleanliness and comfort are more important to me. I'll be back!

|Adopted as amended
|First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Commissioner Seijas spoke in support of this proposal, and noted she felt the nominating council should be members with experience in Human Resources and Economics. Commissioner Sorenson expressed concerned that the term of the proposed review committee was three-years, when recommendations for next year's budget were critically needed within the next six months. She suggested the committee's meetings be held more frequently in the first year. In response to Commissioner Seijas' inquiry regarding the committee's reporting date, Assistant County Attorney Lee Kraftchick affirmed that its annual reports were due in May of every year. Commissioner Seijas suggested this proposed ordinance be amended to require the first annual report be submitted in May of this year, and that subsequent annual reports be submitted in February of every year thereafter. Chairman Moss noted he would encourage this review committee to meet as many times as necessary in the first year, and he intended to appoint Commissioner Seijas as the Chair of the nominating council that selected members to the review committee. He asked that he be added as a co-sponsor to this proposed ordinance. Commissioner Seijas concurred with Commissioner Sorenson's comments. She pointed out that although this proposed ordinance required the proposed review committee to meet a minimum of four times a year, it could meet as often as necessary. Commissioner Gimenez noted he supported accelerating the committee's meetings in the first year. He noted the members of the Government Operations and Environment Committee unanimously recommended that Commissioner Seijas be designated as the Chair of the nominating committee. Commissioners Jordan, Edmonson, and Gimenez asked to be added as a co-sponsor to this proposed ordinance. Hearing no further comments, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed ordinance as amended to increase the number of meetings to be held by the proposed Miami Compensation and Benefits Review Committee in its first year; and that language be added to Section 3(c), handwritten page 11, requiring the proposed committee to submit its first annual report in May 2010 and subsequent annual reports in February of each year thereafter. Commissioner Jordan asked Special Assistant to the County Manager Howard Piper to ensure that she and the members of the Miami-Dade Compensation and Benefits Review Committee received a copy of the 2004 compensation study. Later in the meeting, Commissioner Seijas requested staff schedule a 30-minute sunshine meeting between her and Chairman Moss on Thursday, December 3, 2009 (time to be determined) to discuss the Chair appointing her as Chair of the Nominating Committee in connection with the proposed Miami-Dade Compensation and Benefits Review Committee.

Failing grade on Civil War
David Goldfield deserves a failing grade ("A deadly rush into Civil War," Monday). Southern slave owners took their states out of the Union because they wanted no restrictions on the expansion of slavery. They feared any political evolution that would make a peaceful end to slavery possible.
In 1860, Lincoln and the Republican platform recognized the constitutionality of slavery in the states where it already existed, but opposed the creation of any new slave states. Lincoln's hope was that, eventually, there would be enough free states to peacefully amend the Constitution to eliminate slavery, although this might take 50 years.

LISBON - State Rep. Nick Barborak was among those legislators who voted against a budget bill that included a provision that says college athletes in Ohio are not considered employees under state law.
The amendment inserted into a budget bill passed by the Ohio House last week was in response to the recent ruling by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board that Northwestern University football players could form a union to negotiate for benefits, working conditions, etc.
Barborak said he voted against the bill primarily for other reasons but he would have preferred the college unionization issue be subject to some debate before being inserted into a budget bill for a vote.
"I think in general college athletes should have a say on issues about their own protection," especially in light of the growing evidence that football can cause brain damage, Barborak said.
Barborak said he would have been willing to hear the pros and cons of the unionization issue but was never given a chance, as the Republican-controlled legislature inserted the amendment and then passed the bill without comment.
"That's become a recurring theme with this legislature, passing public policy without listening to hear what the public wants," he said. "If we're going to pass laws like this in Ohio we should at least hear what the people think. I just think it's a terrible way to make public policy."
According to the Associated Press, the amendment may have little or no legal impact on the unionization of scholarship athletes attending state colleges if it becomes an issue in Ohio.
Barborak said the Republicans took the same approach when adding an amendment to the same budget bill that abolishes a state ruling restricting independent political spending by corporations, labor unions and non-profit organizations.
Under the rule instituted in 2011 by then-Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, these organizations would have to disclose the money they spent in support of Ohio candidates and identify themselves in political ads. It also banned political spending by foreign-owned corporations and companies receiving government contracts.
There was no accompany state law to legally enforce Brunner's rule, nor has any group been punished so far for violating the rule.
Barborak said elimination of the restrictions "opens the door" for foreign companies to play a major role in Ohio politics by dumping significant amounts of money into election campaigns.
"It's frightening," he said. "It's not as if we don't already have enough money in politics."
State law will continue to ban direct election contributions by corporations, unions and non-profits.
The budget bill with both of these measures now goes to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer also contributed to this story.

Awesome! Check Out this Human CalendarSunny Chanel
My daughter has been immersed in a new project. She is in the midst of trying to figure out the calendar.
From months, to days of the weeks, to how many days are in each month, at both home and at school, the calendar has become quite a topic of conversation for my little five-year-old. And as you know, it's especially awesome when you can make learning fun. And the Human Calendar? It's definitely injected some whimsy into the subject of calendars at our house.
What is the Human Calendar?
The creative genius behind the Human Calendar is Craig Giffen, the same person who created the human clock ten years ago back in 2001.
For the Human Calendar he was evidently inspired by the intro to the Brady Bunch and the images of the family looking at each other. He took a slew of photos of people to represent the days of the month saying, "Some people are in bands, a couple are writers, one person was in an episode of Murder, She Wrote, while another person accidentally murdered Kelly Ripa's pet sea monkeys when she was 12." Yup, a pretty good cross section of humans.
Mr. Giffen laid out the calendar so that all the people representing the days all look (be it up, down, right, or left) to the person who is holding today, the number that represents today's date. If you move your cursor across the days, they become animated. There are even options at the bottom of the page to change a couple aspects of the display.
Yes, the human calendar has made learning about the calendar more fun for my girl, but the big question of hers? How does she become the 11th?!?
You can check out the Human Calendar right here.

The emergence of concepts for a sustainable development began long before the Brundtland-Report from 1987 explicitly called for it. Early examples for such policies can be found not only in the field of forest history but also in the history of water management and landscape protection. The conference takes the case of international rivers to reconstruct these policies.
Special attention will be given to three aspects:
1. The relation of rivers and their surrounding landscapes
2. Transnational perspectives which integrate transboundary empirical analysis with methodological reflection
3. Findings on early concepts for sustainability in the history of rivers and landscapes.
The conference is the final event of an international research project on the emergence of policies for sustainable development along the Upper Rhine region in the course of the 20th century. Consequently this region will be given special attention.
Conference languages will be English, French and German. Conference organisers will cover travel costs and accommodation for paper givers.
Scholars are asked to send an abstract of their paper (max. 400 words) and a short CV until May 31th 2009 to:
André Guillerme (email@example.com) or
Christoph Bernhardt (firstname.lastname@example.com)

'Spent: Looking for Change'
A Reel Progress Screening and Live Q&A
June 26, 2014, 7:00pm ET - 9:00pm ET
About This Event
Please join the Center for American Progress for a screening and discussion of "Spent: Looking for Change," a new film executive produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim—whose past work includes "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Waiting for Superman"—following the stories of everyday Americans who earn, save, and spend money, yet don't have access to the same financial tools most Americans take for granted. Millions of Americans are disconnected from the mainstream financial system in one way or another, which can lead to higher fees, greater risk, and missed opportunities. This film brings the issue of financial access and affordability to the forefront. Following the screening, a panel of experts will discuss the issues raised in the film and potential solutions to building a financial system that works for all Americans.

Then Nora meets a dark, sexy stranger that she feels an incredible pull towards. She can't help but think she's met him before and slowly but surely she finds herself falling in love… all over again.
This is the third book in Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush series and I think it might just be my favorite book in the series thus far. It almost makes you ache knowing who the mysterious Jev is and wanting so much for Nora to get her memory back so she knows exactly what's going on. This is also the book that basically leads to a war between two different races; it's that point where you go to flip a coin and it's spinning in the air and you're anxiously waiting for it to drop. I cannot wait to see what happens next so Becca Fitzpatrick better get writing!

NAGA CITY—The husband of an officer of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Bombon, Camarines Sur, who was found dead five days after she was reported missing, has filed murder charges on Friday in the Naga City prosecutor's office against the suspect, the victim's colleague at the DILG office.
Government Prosecutor Virgilio Balane Jr. said Gerald Napire (not Napere), husband of Ayres Napire, filed the case against confessed killer Dennis Medina (not a lawyer as earlier reported), coworker of Ayres and fellow DILG officer.
Balane said it would take at least 10 days for the prosecutor's office to determine probable cause.
Medina, according to Balane, signed a waiver giving his consent to being detained while the case is pending.
The murder case against Medina was filed two days after he confessed to the police on Wednesday that he strangled Ayres to death inside his car at 1:30 p.m. on March 8.

Meaning of Life? To be a Tiny Bar on a Graph.
Uploaded 04/27/2013
Just caught the feature regarding the android in the making http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/83256080/.
I've caught a few people making comments of a severely technophobic nature, which is only natural considering the subject matter.
Then again I've caught a few comments by those claiming we've "had our time". Considering human behavior in history as a whole, perhaps they're right. Or, if you consider the history of life on Earth, unfortunately, they're not even close.
Via the first graph, ALL hominids comprise the tiniest sliver of existence on our planet. In comparison to dinosaurs alone, hominids measure up in residency at about 2%.
Via the second graph, Homo erectus and Australopethecus afarensis have been around longest of the hominids, with 325,000,000 years of residency on Earth between them. Homo sapien/humans? A mere 250,000. It took about 225,000 of those years just for our asses to make it out of the jungle and into any form of civilization.
Sure, there are other extremely short-lived ancestors on the scale to our existence: Homo georgicus, Homo floresiensis, Australopethecus garhi... but the time difference is negligable. These species died out simply because they just couldn't cut it - natural selection weeded them out quickly, unbelievably quickly in comparison to the history of life on our planet.
And where we stand is exactly the same as they. Even Neanderthals have existed longer than we have, so far. At this point, we're officially at the bottom of the barrel in terms of nature's accomplishments and failures. Looking at the entire history of life on Earth, you may notice hominid species, by comparison, are lower-rung than dinosaurs, insects, even eukaryotic simple life-forms.
One thing that bugged me about the android in the vid more than the idea of a talking robot? The fact both those idiots' excitement overshadowed their need to impose a few tweaks of correction on A.I. that would mention "people zoos".
I don't doubt we'll evolve some advanced robotics. What I do doubt is those robotics will indeed become scary advanced without the proper fail-safes and precautions. That's the part that should cause the technophobia; forget the advancements themselves - it's stupidity and overzealousness (and shit-eating grins like those two douchebags sported) that would lead to major problems.
Too many arrogantly believe humans are something special in the scheme of things. Chances are looking more likely every day we'll end up as nothing more but a humiliatingly brief colored bar on a timeline.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Axela has acquired Toronto-based Xceed Molecular to get its hands on the latter's Ziplex® gene-expression analysis platform and assays. The combined firm will retain the Axela name but move its headquarters to Xceed's facilities in Toronto. Axela says the combination of both companies' technologies will provide clinical researchers with a growing suite of products for multiplexing DNA, RNA, and protein biomarker analysis, and help speed the introduction of new diagnostics.
Xceed's Ziplex platform has been developed as an integrated and fully automated hybridization system for multiplex gene-expression signatures. The system hinges on Xceed's Flow-Thru Chip (FTC) technology for multi-analyte analysis, which is embodied in the single-use TipChip consumables that feature self-regulating fluidics. The technology is designed to enable automated hybridization and imaging in a microplate format within a single instrument.
The Ziplex System is available for research use in North America, together with an expanding family of TipChips, and Xpress Chips with preconfigured content. Products in development include the Colon Cancer Xpress Chip, which is undergoing prerelease validation by academic collaborators at Emory University, and a renal cell carcinoma signature, which the Emory team is validating for use as a laboratory test.
Axela's flagship product is the the dotLab System, which incorporates diffractive optics technology (dot®) for the detection of molecular-binding events without the use of fluorescent labels. The firm claims the system and suite of PanelPlus™ tools and services have broad applications in areas ranging from research-based studies in epitope mapping, expression monitoring, protein quantitation, and assay development, to clinically relevant work in biomarker validation, assay development, immunogenicity testing, and multiplex analyte detection.

Back in the glory days, Arsene Wenger used to keep us waiting.
Wenger used to do his pre-match press conferences on a Friday at 12.30pm. Except they'd never start at 12.30pm. You could bring a good book as they'd often kick-off gone 2pm.
I never complained as generally he'd be worth the wait, training obviously came first for him and he'd see us every week without fail.
These days Wenger does his pressers before training. The newspapers get our little separate away from the TV cameras and microphones.
And in that little section, embargoed for websites and saved for your morning papers, we try and build up a bit of rapport, have the odd laugh and occasionally I like to think he sometimes enjoys it.
But what reminds me now about those old days is when it comes to questions about Wenger's contract. We're almost going back in time to the days of "will he, won't he and when?"
When Arsenal were successful, Wenger would keep the fans sweating and the media waiting. He could do that because he knew he was in demand, he could command a huge contract, be in a strong negotiating position and the only doubt about his future was coming from his side.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona all flirted with him in the past. He was happy to play along with the rumours. It only strengthened his position. Did he really come close to leaving? Probably not. But why meet other clubs? And he's definitely done that.
The fans would be begging for him to stay. We thought he'd do it in the end. And, just to be clear, I am convinced he'll stay this time. I've written it enough times!
It's all but done . It's been going on for months. He even said last summer on the record that negotiations had begun, were going well and he's been drip feeding hints ever since.
Last time I asked him was on New Year's Eve. He looked at me, rather wearily, and replied: "You with all these questions. Too many questions!"
But don't worry, I don't think there's a big issue. But I do see a big difference. The last time Wenger re-signed it was almost sneaked in through the back door. No months of speculation and so on.
I remember it being announced while I was on holiday in August 2010. And here's what Wenger said to the club's website:
"My heart belongs to Arsenal and my desire is to see this team win silverware.
"My commitment and drive are as strong and fresh as ever. Signing a new deal means that I can see this talented group of players reach their potential. Trust me, they are ready to deliver.
"With my staff and players we are in front of an exciting challenge and we are looking forward to achieving much success."
So, all about silverware. Except Arsenal haven't won any. Last season, the pressure was on Wenger to deliver trophies and some (I hasten to stress the word "some" to stop a Twitter meltdown) wanted a change. It wasn't a great time for Wenger and it wasn't the right time to negotiate.
But Arsenal's resurgence has only helped relight some fires, got the fans behind him and they want him to stay. Whereas some wanted a change last season, now the vast majority want him to stay.
So it's back to the old days. Yes, we all think he'll stay. But he's making us sweat. Incidentally, another factor in his contract is that all his staff's deals mirror the manager's. So when Wenger signs, they all get new extensions.
So, as you can imagine, they have sought and, from what I hear, got assurances. There's no panic. He is staying.
But Wenger does accept that signing will be a lot easier if he's winning trophies again. He wants the fans to realise that Arsenal are back.
They are ambitious, pushing for big deals like Julian Draxler and are confident that , if not now, then in the summer he will come.
They are in agreement with Per Mertesacker about a new deal. As we've reported many times before, there is less certainty about Bacary Sagna.
But when it comes to Wenger, have no doubt. He will stay. But it's almost as if he is enjoying a trip back in time. He's feeling loved and wanted again. So if he indulges that feeling for a few weeks yet then don't be too surprised.

It's becoming more the rule, not the exception, that senior citizens with long-term care needs receive assistance from their children and relatives, instead of home health agencies or skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers.
In fact, of the four out of five seniors who require some type of long-term care, only one gets the care in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center.
The other 75 percent are receiving care from a family caregiver.
It is estimated that there are more than 18-25 million adults - or 10 percent of the U.S. population - fulfilling this demanding job today. Responsibilities include keeping loved ones fed, clean and safe, dispensing medications and transporting them to and from appointments - all while juggling full-time careers and families.
According to Amy Moran, admissions director at ManorCare, there are many reasons why children and spouses choose to take on this tremendous responsibility.
"Many want to spend time with their loved one, while others feel a sense of guilt for turning the care of their spouse or parent over to a home health agency or skilled nursing and rehabilitation center," Moran said. "However, these caregivers often face burnout from the all-consuming care requirements, and don't know where to turn for help. That's where we come in."
ManorCare offers short-term respite stays that allow caregivers to go on vacation or a business trip, and have peace of mind knowing that their loved one is being taken care of by caring professionals.
At ManorCare, respite residents can take advantage of the same activities and services as other guests. Most importantly, the family caregivers know they are in a safe, secure setting with 24-hour nursing.
"Whether for a few days or a month, you can take advantage of the respite program at ManorCare," Moran said.

In terms of overall excitement, the American League's 3-0 victory in the 2013 MLB All-Star Game doesn't compare to some past Midsummer Classics.
However, in terms of providing the fans and the sport of baseball with a moment that will carry on forever, the end of Mariano Rivera's All-Star career will definitely be among the top.
A lot of time could be spent discussing other parts of the game, like the plethora of great pitching on display. But this was Rivera's stage. The rest of the world was just there to watch.
In honor of Rivera's final All-Star Game, here are the biggest winners and losers from the 2013 MLB All-Star Game.

When Amy Schlein Kaufman steps into Lowell Elementary School in Philadelphia's Olney section, her eyes water, her nose runs, and the sneezing begins.
After years of teaching there, she is accustomed to carrying tissues. But with respiratory ailments affecting as many as 10 Lowell teachers, she worries that the century-old building may simply be unhealthy.
A former colleague at Lowell, art teacher Joyce Harris, shares that concern.
Last school year, Harris, 48, said she felt sick almost every day on the job - something she blames on "black mold" that was found in a storage area next to her basement classroom just as the year ended.

The Daytrippers
By the time "The Daytrippers" is over, you'll be so acutely aware of the thin line between hip and unending torture that you'll be able to sniff out lousy independent films with the efficiency of a police dog in a crack house.
Hip is being able to conduct an effective, amusing conversation in a station wagon filled with five adults. Unending torture is making those five adults New Yorkers and letting the conversations drag on to the point where you begin scanning the theater for old ladies to kick in the back of the head because you suspect they might sound something like Anne Meara and if you ever hear that whiny voice again you might rip out your own eyeballs.
Meara plays the bossy mother of Eliza (Hope Davis) and Jo (Parker Posey). They all get in a car along with their dad (Pat McNamara) and Jo's strange boyfriend, Carl (Liev Schreiber), in search of Eliza's husband, Louis (Stanley Tucci), whom they suspect of having an affair because Eliza finds a letter in a drawer that seems slightly suspicious.
Director Greg Mottola tries to make cute for a couple hours with this odd gang. The most violent reactions to this movie will undoubtedly come from those who suddenly realize how much they hate its main characters. For some, that might take an hour, for others, five minutes will do. At best though, that leaves an hour of sheer agony and angst to be endured.

In honor of Jesse Jackson's "protest" tommorrow, I'll wander on down to Walmart and buy at least a 100 round box of 9x19mm 115gr. FMJs and a 50 round box of 9x19mm 147gr. JHPs.

I have a training session in Alexandria, VA tomorrow 8Am - Noon then it will be off to
Realco Guns, Inc.
6108 Marlboro Pike
District Heights, MD 20747
to buy ammo and any other thing I can use to support the shop.
August 27, 2007, 10:36 AM
I need some shotgun shells for bird hunting.
Tomorrow looks like a good day to buy them.
August 27, 2007, 11:21 AM
I don't have a good stash of 22LR yet... maybe I'll go pick up a couple thousand rounds tomorrow. :evil:
August 27, 2007, 11:38 AM
Sounds like as good of an excuse to pick up a couple of boxes as any I've heard lately...I believe dunhams is having some sales.
August 27, 2007, 11:52 AM
In honor of What????
August 27, 2007, 12:02 PM
The Brady bunch, along with Rainbow PUSH (Jackson's organization) are totally hijacking the anniversary of Dr. MLK's "I have a dream" speech to go protest against "illegal" guns (I think that means any we own, but that's another thread altogether). At any rate, in response, lots of gun owners are calling it "buy a gun" day or "buy a gun or ammo" day.
So go buy something gunny. Ammunition. Must get more ammunition :D
August 27, 2007, 12:29 PM
tomorrow is cricket day for my daughter and ammo for me, I don't know which one yet :D but I know I'll be buying some of any of the calibers I have so i can support jesse :evil: :D :neener: hey I'm just playing
Have fun and shoot safe, especially tomorrow, lol
August 27, 2007, 12:30 PM
Its kinda like going to the bar on St. patty's day, you don't exactly have to twist our arm for an excuse to buy gun stuff, and for a good cause too. How about writing a letter to your congress rep thanking them for defending your rights or chastising them for eroding them, depending on district. Don't get me wrong, Ill buy stuff too, but nationwide pro-gun rallys, and the gains that we have made are reason enough for us to celebrate, and keep up the good work.
August 27, 2007, 12:33 PM
My brother and I are buying guns and ammo this week to offset any potential loss of business.
August 27, 2007, 12:40 PM
Well, I don't need any shotgun shells, but they are still reasonably priced. I refuse to pay the extortion for .308 or .45 ACP, but since 12 gauge and 20 gauge are within reason bounds of price, I can add a few boxes.
August 27, 2007, 12:44 PM
I guess this is as good a reason as any to puch me to get either the M&P or Walther P99 in .40 S&W.
I always need more ammo.
August 27, 2007, 07:32 PM
I think a 250 round box of UMC 9mm is in order so I can go to the range this weekend..
August 27, 2007, 07:36 PM
And here I sit with zero money and over a week until payday, maybe I'll just clean my guns.
Marlin 45 carbine
August 27, 2007, 07:43 PM
yeah, good idea. Wallyworld here I come.
August 28, 2007, 11:02 AM
Today has been dubbed "National Exercise Your Rights Day". I have my eye on an item at my local purveyor of fine firearms (price is right, and I won't hurt my recreation fund that badly). One of the security guards here at the office is going to get some cleaning supplies (preventative maintenance he calls it), and another fellow is going to his local WallyWorld for some ammunition.
August 28, 2007, 11:32 AM
if possible attend one of the many pro gun rallies going on as a counter demonstration to thegun grabbing thugs, you can buy stuff anyday, but showing up can help us out, heres one wih the locations named, on my way out the door as we speak, gotta go.
August 28, 2007, 05:02 PM
My letter to the editor of the [Apartheid] Chicago Sun-Times which I just sent:
"Thanks to Jesse Jackson for reminding me that todays the day to buy guns, ammunition and other shooting related items.
Ive already bought a carrying case for my Glock today. As soon as I leave work, its off to Walmart to buy several boxes of ammunition.
Id go counter-protest whatever the Million Mendacious Moms are doing here in Cleveland if they were doing anything at all. The truth is theyre a hollow, rotting shell everywhere except corrupt sinkholes like Chicago, where you not only have to fear criminals but the police as well.
Happy Ammunition Day and good shooting!"
August 28, 2007, 05:58 PM
In honor of Jesse's dishonor, I hauled my Carbon 15, model 21 Bushmaster and my Glock 19C to the range. I bought a box of 9mm and plugged 4 different targets with about 100 rounds total. I did quite well, if I do say so myself, and especially in light of the fact that I just had neurosurgey 27 days ago! Thanks Jesse!

THE PHILADELPHIA Museum of Art's Anne d'Harnoncourt Memorial Sculpture Garden tour engages visitors in a discussion of art beyond the museum's walls.
This garden atop the museum's parking garage opened in 2009. Installations include Claes Oldenburg's iconic "Giant Three-Way Plug," Scott Burton's "Steel Woman II" and work by prominent Japanese-American artist and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi. The manipulation of stone in Noguchi's work relates intimately to the garden's rocky topography and takes advantage of the landscape.
"Noguchi's work was a natural fit," said Adelina Vlas, assistant curator in modern and contemporary art. "There was an allure to the relationship between his material choice and the site, generating a multilayered context that strengthens our understanding."

Veteran soap gets two-year extension
"Days of Our Lives" looks to be one of the survivors among the thinning herd of daytime soaps.
As the show marked its 45th anniversary, NBC on Monday gave the sudser a two-year renewal.
Venerable sudser is No. 1 for daytime dramas in the teen 12-17 demo and No. 2 in women 18-34. Through six weeks of the new season, "Days" is averaging 2.6 million viewers.
Produced by Corday Prods. and Sony Pictures Television, "Days" is exec produced by Gary Tomlin. Dena Higley is the head writer.
"'Days of Our Lives' remains vitally creative through the years as it continues to draw new generations of viewers, especially among its loyal female audience," said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment. "NBC salutes the series on its 45th anniversary, and we look forward with great anticipation to working with the production team for the years to come."
Show began as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later. "Days" is the last sudser remaining on the Peacock. Network canceled "Passions" in August 2008.
In the past year, CBS axed two of its long-running soaps, "As the World Turns" and Guiding Light."
