Same-sex marriages are now legal in Vermont.
The new law recognizing homosexual marriages took effect Tuesday in the Green Mountain State. Some gay couples, who had obtained civil unions earlier in Vermont, say they plan to return to the state to get married.
So far, there has been no rush. City and town officials report only a handful of licenses have been issued.
Vermont became the first state last April to legalize gay marriage through a legislative decree and not a court case.
Vermont is one of five states that now allows same-sex couples to marry. The other states include Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Iowa.

And the potentially jarring tax hike has some legislators angry.
"With unemployment skyrocketing, the government doesn't need to ... treat tax payers like a personal ATM machines," said state Senator Tony Strickland, R-Thousand Oaks, whose district includes the Santa Clarita Valley.
Beginning Nov. 1, California will take an additional 10 percent from wage earners' pay checks, said H.D. Palmer, deputy director for the California Department of Finance.
For a person paying $50 in state taxes each pay period, an additional $5 in taxes would be taken out, he added.
State lawmakers approved the tax increase as part of a 31-bill package aimed to balance the budget in July.
The California budget has been in shambles since the economy turned south in 2008. California legislators teetered on the brink of budget breakdown in February as a budget impasse almost threatened to shut down the state. In June the legislators drifted over the edge as the budget impasse forced the state to issue IOUs.
The state covered a $24 billion budget gap with accounting maneuvers and massive budget cuts.
"It's one of a number of steps necessary to close the budget gap," Palmer said.
The state is in effect borrowing the tax revenue in advance to help balance its books, Palmer said.
The taxpayers' money will be returned to tax payers who qualify for a rebate based on their individual tax liabilities. Those refunds could come in 2010 for taxpayers to whom the state owes due to increased withholding taxes in November and December, he said.
For those who overpay taxes in 2010, the refunds will come in 2010.
State Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita, said the move is irresponsible and fails to fix the root of the problem.
"Accelerating income tax withholding in order to balance the budget is an accounting gimmick that I don't believe addresses the structural and overspending problems that plague California's budget process," Smyth said. "Instead, California taxpayers, who are already paying some of the highest taxes in the nation, are asked to shoulder an additional burden by giving more of their hard-earned money to the government.
"Whether you consider this a tax increase or not, the end result is that taxpayers are required to pay more money to the government up front," he said. "At a time when families are tightening their belts and cutting family budgets to the bone, I do not support reaching deeper into taxpayer pockets."

The Potential of Microwave in Organophosphorus Syntheses
György Keglevich
Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 1521 Budapest, Hungary – E-mail: email@example.com
Abstract: The spread of professional microwave (MW) reactors has brought about a revolutionary change in synthetic organic chemistry. This environmentally friendly methodology exerted also a positive influence on organophosphorus chemistry making possible new reactions, or just making the reactions more efficient in respect of rate, selectivity and yield. In special cases, MW irradiation may substitute catalyst.
Key Words: microwave-assisted organic synthesis, organophosphorus chemistry
The use of the microwave (MW) technique in organic syntheses spred gradually in research laboratories, and after more than two decades it knocks at the door of industry. At the beginning, only domestic MW ovens were available, but later, different variations of professional MW equipment were developed and utilized in a variety of syntheses, such as substitutions, additions, eliminations, condensations, acylations, esterifications, alkylations, C–C coupling reactions, cycloadditions, rearrangements and the formation of heterocycles [1].
The main problem with industrial application is scale-up [2,3]. On the one hand, there is a problem with the structural material, as the batch reactors may be made of only teflon or glass. On the other hand, the limited penetration depth of MWs into the reaction mixtures prevents the construction of bigger size batch reactors. Presently, the only possibility for a certain degree of scale-up is the use of continuous-flow reactors [2,4]. A batch MW reactor (CEM) may be supplied with a flow cell where the mixture is moved by HPLC pumps. In another variation, a continuous tube reactor with a diameter of up to 6–9 mm was elaborated (Milestone) that makes possible the processment of ca 300 l/day [5]. A capillary microreactor consisting of four parallel capillary tubes was also described. The above equipment may be used well in industrial laboratories. The only criterion of the application is that the reaction mixtures must not be too viscous and heterogeneous. The author of this paper believes that "bundle of tubes" reactors incorporating a number of glass tubes with a diameter of several mm-s may bring a breakthrough in the industry. Another good accomplishment is to apply an assembly line-type equipment that transports the solid reaction components placed in suitable vessels into a tunnel, where the irradiation takes place [6].
The most common benefits from MW irradiation is the considerable shortening of reaction times and the increase in the selectivities. However, the most valuable benefit is when a reaction can be accomplished that is otherwise impossible under traditional thermal conditions. This may be the consequence of a so-called special MW effect [7]. There are, of course, other advantages as well that will be shown below within the discipline of organophosphorus chemistry. Organophosphorus chemistry is a dynamically developing field within organic chemistry. Organophosphorus compounds including P-hetereocycles find applications in the synthetic organic chemistry as reactants, solvents (ionic liquids), catalysts and P-ligands and, due to their biological activity, also as components of drugs and plant protecting agents [8–10]. The utilization of MW irradiation in organophosphorus chemistry is a relatively new field [11,12]. In this article, the attractive features of the application of the MW technique in organophosphorus syntheses are summarized. The chain of thoughts are grouped around three points.
1.) Reactions otherwise impossible under thermal conditions
The most common way to prepare esters (2) is the acid catalyzed direct esterification of carboxylic acids (1) with alcohols (1). The reaction is reversible, hence the alcohol should be applied in excess and/or the water formed should be removed by distillation, in most cases, in the form of binary or ternary azeotropes.
However, it is well-known that phosphinic acids (3) do not undergo esterification with alcohols to afford phosphinates (4) ((2)/A). For this, the esters of phosphinic acids (4) are synthesized by the reaction of phosphinic chlorides (5) with alcohols in the presence of a base ((2)/B) [8]. An alternative possibility is preparation by the Arbusov reaction ((2)/C) [8].
The generally applied esterification method ((2)/B) has the drawback of requiring the use of relatively expensive P-chlorides (e.g. 5). Beside this, hydrogen chloride is formed as the by-product, that must be bond by a base. Hence, the method is not atomic efficient and is not environmentally friendly.
It was a challenge for us to try the direct esterification of phosphinic acids with alcohols under MW conditions. To our surprise, it was found that a series of phosphinic acids underwent esterification with alcohols with longer chain at around 200 °C on MW irradiation (3) [13–15].

The third floor, where I have 2 lockers, is not air conditioned at the present time. It was hot and humid. This needs to be fixed. I have a piano i am storing and many books.
The only company that waited until after my payment was over due. To send me an email. 20 extra dollars a month bend me over why don`t ya. I will never ever get another storage threw uhaul.
Very clean facility and conveniently close to the UW-Oshkosh campus!
Handled issues quickly, thanks Scott for all your help!
Nice, new facility.
Staff was very friendly and informative and helpful
Very helpful staff
Great experience as customer.
The staff was great from the beginning to the end. They were polite, helpful and their knowledge of the procedures were great. They worked as a team.
Staff was very helpful. I also got a 10% discount that I didn`t know that I had coming.
Very good customer service. Courteous and helpful.
Brand new customer to U Haul Storage, Ohio Street, Oshkosh, WI but very pleased with the service and support to date.
Very helpful
The staff was great and I recommend them.
Very good experience.
great service
It was freezing.We had no idea we could adjust the heat until our last night.
We ran a give a kid a gift out of our locker,we could have used the heat,lol.
Other than that,great service!
While I thought I had made it clear that my unit was NOT to have an additional UHAUL lock attached, I went to my unit today and what should I find??? I am very displeased!!!!
I wasn`t there to get the contents. I think the Oshkosh people are great but UBox in general is not. I had a horrific experience with scheduling things and I will not use them again.
Great service at a great price
service was great
Incompetent employees, managers that lie about refunding money due to the errors of employees, water damage in the storage unit, furniture and an elliptical ruined
I have been using this u haul for years with numerous mistakes with the staff there. Great employee changes! Thank you!
They were very helpful in what I was looking at to rent. They even gave me what I need in in size at an affordable price for the short time that I need it. Very much recamendable
was told I had the truck for over 1 day and I return the truck before it was time.
It was a great place and clean
That 1 staff that helped me was very nice, I have noidea who the other guy was but he was rude. I still don`t have my access card because they could not get it to work. Took over 1 hr for paperwork
Indoor storage area fine. Terrible ¬doorway, impossible to push carts over. Outside COVERED WITH SPIDERS! It is nature but needs some effort to keep them clear from the main areas.
great sevice all around varry helpfull employes
Very good experience. Everyone was helpful.
Napa guy had no idea he was dropping off the uBox. Was nor delivered to my residence. Had to take ay off from work to go unload.
The box was clean but had many broken beams.
Danielle Carigan was the most helpful person I have ever worked with in any customer service business. Very knowledgeable and worked very hard to see that every need was met.
Adam went above and beyond to help me out in a time of need. Great management skills.
very satisfied with the services
Every person I dealt with was professional and courteous and I would absolutely recommend the ubox service!
Thanks for delivering on expectations
very helpful and always pleasant staff
they were fast and very helpful
Ridiculous to have to pay $5 for extra 2 hrs of access to finish moving in. Rental facility floors filthy, rat traps present. No proration for turning in my vehicle two days early, as requested.
I want all my money Back , U-Haul was so bad for my move.... They told me $269.00 too move me to Chaicago Ill then said it will be 995.00 when I moved
Although the halls are well lit, the individual units are very dark inside. Interior lighting would be appreciated and helpful.
It is rare to have someone at the Oshkosh store answer their phones. U-haul should prorate storage unit payments.
Restrictions on delivery dates caused me to incur an additional month of rent charges. One lock hinge was broken off. Doors were difficult to close and lock due to screws coming out.
The store is always busy for the location it is in, but the staff is very nice.
Friendly helpful staff.
You found us 1st floor storage after starting on the 2nd level. That would have been a real negative. Thanks!
Kim Van Osdol
despite a large number of customers and only one U-Haul employee, I was treated with kindness and respect.
The staff were very helpful and professional.
The facility looks well-maintained and secure, which is very important to me. The employee who helped me showed me several options.
We had a great experience with U-haul. I would highly recommend the facility.
Great customer service!
Friendly people, manager gave us a ride back to the airport saving us a long walk. We were in a hurry to take off before they closed the airport for the airshow so the ride helped us greatly.
I have had good experience with U-Haul. The truck met our needs. The storage unit is the right size and very easy to get to.
The gentleman at the counter was not friendly. We were informed that we had to buy the U-haul lock at $13. The customer should be informed of that when we calling to rent the locker.
Very easy to rent equipment and easy to store with the help of the carts that were available. Wish it was all on bottom floor however or a ramp
good thank you
Need a U-haul climate-controlled storage place in Appleton, WI. Please. Thank you.
The people that work there are superior in knowledge and assistance--highly recommended!!!A+ Manager
The security tag was removed by Oshkosh staff prior to my retrieval. Though my property was accounted for, this is bad practice that would open Uhaul up to potential liability.
Well maintained and freindly staff, very convienient central location, well worth the extra $$$.
Very pleased. Would use Uhaul again.
Easily accessible and clean.
Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowlageable! The walkways were clean and free of debris. Its a bit more, but I feel lie I made the right choice, Good service, the Oshkosh location rocks!
very pleased w/ both the facility the assistance we received from the staff we`ll be back
I need not receive what I ordered. Was not informed about the lack of availability of the product I desired. I only accepted the Ubox out of desperation.
This has been one of the most disappointing moves I have ever made. You Failed me!! BIG TIME call me!!!
Great experience!
This storage facility was in disrepair, the roof leaked all over my property, climate-control was a joke, and it was completely dirty!
The people who work at this Uhaul location are fantastic!! In fact because they were so great I started using Uhaul`s for warehousing needs in other locations as well.
I was very impressed with my experience with U-Haul in Oshkosh. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. Thank you to the staff!
Thanks for all your help!
Very pleased w/ the check-in move in. Thanks
Helpful. Sometimes hard to have a phone call answered, though.
Staff were friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this facility for storage.
trailer was ready, everything went well
Service was fine for storage unit. The service for answering phones and waiting on people are poor. It doesn`t seem like enough people to help you in an average time.
I`ve just rented the space so I can`t make any useful comments
We felt the facility offered a great lay out for loading and unloading, with great hand carts available.
The facility handles my storage needs well. It has adequet space and protection for my belongings. this store has helped out in a time of need for this customer. Thanks.
prices which were quoted changed in midstream. The space quoted was not the space available. I had to move my storage items three times due to worker error and lack of concern.
Would recommend only if my friend would be moving out on the last day before the next month`s rent on the unit is due. Negative experience when I moved out.
Rat poison came out of box - I didn`t see - niece touched it. Why does your company allow rat poison to be exposed like this????
I called and got a storage unit and a truck for the day that I needed and the staff was very helpful.
Service was great and helpful.
my experience was very good,i appreciated all the help I got adam the gm was great very helpful and professional.
Aaron does a great job and the rest of the staff is hard working and helpful ttoo : !! Thank You
i wish the storgage room had a light. the room i had was very dark. while the eyes would grow accumstomed to the dim lighting-i worry that i might miss a dropped item.
I would prefer to have lighting in my storage room. It is too dark for my taste.
My move in went smoothly.
I have recommended you. The cardboard cops in the windows are a little silly, though.
This is my 2nd time renting a unit from this U-Haul facility. I was and still am a satisfied customer. I chose this one because of its location near where I live. Keep up the good work!

Gardening: Hints of spring in February
by Mary Robson, WSU Area Extension Agent
Yes, February will give us hints of spring, but the month can also produce wintry blasts of cold, icy air. Often an Arctic cold spell strikes somewhere during the first two weeks of February. Some days, however, will be mild and invite the gardener outdoors. "Unsettled" is a good term for February weather and often a description of the gardener's state of mind.
Especially during the first three weeks of the month, keep the garden's winter protection in place. Hardy spring bulb shoots will continue to emerge this month, and if mulch remains around them, they are remarkably resistant to cold temperatures. Many gardeners worry about the three-inch daffodil shoots, or snowdrops and crocus beginning to bloom when a cold snap hits. The only action gardeners can take if a serious freeze is predicted is to place 2-3 inches of organic mulch around any shoots that are exposed. With mulch for root protection, these plants will manage well, stopping their growth during cold spells and reviving during warmth. The message for February is: enjoy the promise of new bulb shoots growing, and trust that their beauty will survive cold spells.
February offers good opportunities for pruning the garden, but only when the temperatures are above freezing! Freezing weather prevents most garden activities. Do not walk on frozen soil or frozen lawns, do not prune, do not transplant or install plants if temperatures drop into the mid-30s and below.
Prune hydrangeas now, and other shrubs that bloom in summer, such as butterfly bush (buddleia), escallonia, and cotoneaster. Hydrangea pruning often puzzles gardeners. If the hydrangea is thickly overgrown and stuffed with old branches, remove about 1/3 of the stalks that bloomed last year, keeping a balance in the plant. Then shorten some of the remaining stalks (but not all of them) back to a growth node, cutting them back to a node where last year's growth originated.
Toward month's end, prune and fertilize roses. Many growers, after pruning off old growth, treat the bush immediately with a fungicide, helping to control diseases such as black spot that overwinter on the old canes. Daconil, Funcinex, and wettable sulfur are some of the fungicides currently registered for use on rose diseases. If you choose to spray, do it on a day with temperatures over 40 and no rain. (If you find such a day in February, rejoice!) Read the label carefully and wear appropriate protective gear, including goggles, gloves, and a hat when using any pesticides.
As plants begin to swell buds and put on their spring growth leap, they need nutrients during February and March. In spring, trees, shrubs, and perennial plants grow using stored reserves of nutrients from the root system. Replacing these reserves is a vital part of keeping plants healthy. Not all trees and shrubs will need fertilizing. Large, established plants can frequently get along fine with a spring compost mulch and no other fertilizer. It's easy to over fertilize, applying too many nutrients too often. Be sure to follow label directions for quantity and do not add fertilizer to tree and shrub plantings after active spring growth has finished.
Fertilize those that have been planted recently, within the previous 2 or 3 years. However, do not fertilize woody plants during the first summer growing season after planting. They need to re-establish feeder roots to take in nutrients, and they are easily harmed by too much fertilizer. Also, fertilize any that are not putting on sufficient new growth, have shown smaller leaves than normal, or are "off color" and yellowed. These symptoms may indicate the need for nitrogen. Nitrogen is the one nutrient commonly needed for good spring growth in the Pacific Northwest, since it is leached out of soil by winter rains.
Before fertilizing, check the root structure of the plant. Symptoms such as yellowing leaves can also be caused by root rots or other root damage. If you suspect a root problem, dig gently around the base of the plant to look at the root structure. Dumping fertilizer on a plant with a failing root system won't improve the plant. It will waste the fertilizer and may result in nutrients being washed away into surface water, where they can contribute to pollution problems. Fertilizing isn't just a matter of buying a bag and applying it. Observe the health and stage of growth of the plant first.
If the urge to dig strikes, be sure to check soil moisture first. Digging in or walking on saturated soil can damage the soil structure, especially with clay soils. Pick up a small handful of the garden soil and squeeze hard. Open your hand and poke the soil wad (This process requires two hands, one to hold the soil and one to poke with.) If the soil wad breaks up easily into smaller clumps and crumbs, the garden is probably dry enough to work. If the soil mass is gooey and sticks together, the soil is too wet to dig. With the weather conditions this winter, many soils are utterly saturated and will take some weeks to be dry enough for digging.
Plant tree fruit, choosing cultivars adapted for local cool-summer climate. Relax, sharpen tools, and read catalogs, planning the spring ahead. Once March weather arrives, everything begins to happen at once!

text: Sterling, biggest FA signing in WBS history Posted by on Jul 21, 2010 01:07 ShareTweet Last season, every fan in Wilkes-Barre was outraged when their top veterans, captain Wyatt Smith and Co., couldn't produce. In the end, the fans' constant bashing was well-deserved and the team was swept in the first round of the playoffs. Enter "The Ticket." Brett Sterling. WBS super fan "nafsnep" coined him this. He's their ticket to the Calder Cup. It's a one-year, two-way deal. This is hands-down the biggest free agent signing in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins history. Like most AHL super stars, Sterling shouldn't be labeled a career AHL'er. He's only 26. He buried 34 goals last year with Chicago (Atlanta's AHL squad). It turns out Colby Armstrong had a hand in this move. He put in a good word. Colby told him that both Wilkes-Barre and Pittsburgh are great places to play. Buckle up. He has a mustache. "Will get you 30 goals, might get you 50." -Jonathan Bombulie ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About View all posts by →

Pennsylvania State University trustee Keith Eckel says attitudes toward him and his fellow board members seem to have softened. He no longer gets death threats.
"We're gradually moving forward," the Lackawanna County farmer said.
One year ago, former FBI Director Louis Freeh released the results of an inquiry intended to provide a full and factual account of how the leaders of Pennsylvania's largest university handled the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse crisis. School administrators and Penn State backers hoped it would be a platform on which the school could unite, heal, and go ahead.
Instead, the Freeh report incensed alumni already upset by the abrupt dismissal of revered football coach Joe Paterno in November 2011, fueling what has become a ceaseless barrage of criticism aimed at the board.

This post will focus on Jean Piaget's theory of stages of play. From what I understand, Piaget stressed that children's biological maturity (their actual growing older) was a condition for learning. He also theorized that children need to explore and learn about themselves through play.
He categorized the stages of play into three broad categories. These categories correspond with the stages of cognitive development that Piaget also put forth.
Let's look at them one by one:
Play at this stage may consist of repeated body movements, putting objects in your mouth, blowing spit bubbles, playing peek-a-boo and the like. Riotous fun for a baby. So basically, as the baby is learning about them self through their physical senses, their play is also centered on themselves or things around them.
Think about this: if you give a baby a lego block ( not recommended, but stick with me here), what will they do with it? Put it in their mouth? Check! Shake it like a rattle? Check! Throw it on the ground? Check!… You pick it up and they throw it down again? Check!…. This is practice play.
Play now is more advanced. Children will engage in make believe games and fantasy role play. They love to dress up as "the policeman" or "the fireman" or "mommy" and "daddy". Children will also use objects to symbolize something other than their intended function. It seems that every "L" shaped piece of anything can become a "gun". Children will also use blocks to build objects that look like… well, sometimes it can be a bit of a mystery!
Think about this: Give a bunch of lego blocks to a three or four year old. They will build something. A "cross" shape often is an airplane. A block shape is often a house. Something that sort of looks like a big square is a cake and so forth. Teachers will often find themselves saying "Oh. so beautiful…….. what is this?"
Play quickly becomes more structured. Rules are developed and play now also takes on a social aspect. This is "allowed" or you can't do that "because it is against the rules" are common refrains in this stage. Teams develop. Competition ensues.
Think about this: Children of 8-10 years old may still love lego. But now, they look to a diagram, to "the rules", and construct replicas of the objects on the box. Each piece must be in the proper place…no exceptions… these are the rules.
Let's use another example. Playing with a ball.
Stage 1-Throw the ball on the floor… giggle… (pretend play)
Stage 2- The ball is a ball, perhaps, but there are no teams….all children play in the same manner- kicking and general running around in all directions (symbolic play).
Stage 3- The ball may now be the central object of a game. Teams are formed. Goal posts are made… the game has rules and a score (games with rules).
That is my understanding of how Piaget thought it all went down.
Any comments? Happy to have them below.
Happy teaching!

Hampstead Heath Ponds
Kenwood House
Hampstead Heath reviews
I love it on Hampstead Heath. It's so big that you can never get bored of it, and there's so much to do. You can walk as much as you want, before going to Hampstead for lunch, or take a picnic with you. There's a great children's playground near the car park, which will entertain kids for a while. A great place for taking visitors to London, as they will be impressed with the views.

Definitely my favourite space in London. I go running and I feel really safe - a lot of families, mothers with children, people walking their dogs, but still not overcrowded. Huge green spaces. My favourite spot is where I can see almost all of London.

Tourism and Intercultural Exchangeby Gavin Jack Alison Phipps
This book asks the question; why is it that tourism matters? It looks at how it is we do tourism and learn to be tourists when we are on holiday. Tourism is a dynamic way of being that may facilitate or hinder intercultural exchange. The ways in which we do tourism and the places in which we are tourists raise practical, material and emotional questions about tourist life. This book draws on both empirical work and a range of theoretical frameworks, arguing that tourism matters precisely because of the lessons it can teach us about living everyday life with others.

View from the enemy: Roundball Mining Company
The best way I think I could sum up the Thunder fanbase's feelings right now heading into Game 5 would be a queasy confidence. Up 3-1 coming back home, that feels good. But any time you lose in the postseason, everything is amplified. Notably, the performance of Russell Westbrook and the consequences that came after.
It was kind of surreal hearing all the trash being tossed Westbrook's way after Game 4. People saying things like this could be a "very big deal" for the team and even taking it so far to speculate on Westbrook's future with the team because of it. (One radio pundit in OKC actually decided to doubt Westbrook would re-sign with the Thunder as a result of Game 4.)
But I think tonight's game could be bigger for the Thunder than just simply winning and closing a series. This could be all about another big step in development.
Until this point, this group had largely avoided the negative side of the media. They had avoided having to answer tough questions about chemistry and shot selection the day after a game. But they had the spotlight on them yesterday. They had to face the music and for that part, they passed with flying colors. They all had each other's backs, they stayed together and they didn't waver.
What matters though, is proving that point tonight. This is a big game for Westbrook not because he needs to bounce back from Game 4, but it's going to say a lot about his mental fortitude going forward. He can say he's put it all out of his head, but it's going to be hard not to have those critical thoughts creep in right at gametime. He's going to have to try and play his game despite all the noise around him. And if he can, I think Game 4 could be the very best thing that ever happened to Russell Westbrook.
The team is absolutely in a position to win now and that's obviously the main focus. But they haven't lost side of the overall goal hovering over everything — the process. That's what it's still about. About developing, getting better, about learning. Here's a big opportunity for not just Westbrook, but for Scott Brooks and the entire team.
Will they hang together and close out an opponent on their home floor? They failed in the first attempt. They didn't play their game. They got sloppy, selfish and didn't come ready to win. They almost put it off regardless but here's another chance to squash the Nuggets and move on.
And more importantly, a chance to get better. Which might be the most important part.

Do you intend to rest during those exercises or are you aiming to do 50 pushups etc. in a row? I think you could try doing regular pushups earlier than that. As for squats, can you get down below parallel on your own? If so, you might want to throw one deep squat in every 10 reps or so since bench squats might strengthen your legs but won't help you to go deeper. And again, 50 is maybe a little too ambitious. I love my quads and think I'm in pretty good shape but I can't do much more than 30 in one go without basically resting for a second between each rep. Planks look good. How much weight will you use for overhead presses? If you can get 25 reps out, then you need something heavier. Try something that you can get 8-10 reps per set with, or 5-8 if you're feeling like an animal.
That routine looks like something you could do 3 times a week.

Session 83 - Gravitational Lensing.
Display session, Friday, January 09
Exhibit Hall,
Weak distortions of background galaxies are rapidly emerging as a powerful tool for the measurement of galaxy cluster mass distributions. Lensing based studies have the advantage of being direct measurements of mass and are not model-dependent as are other techniques (X-ray, radial velocities). To date studies have been limited by CCD field size meaning that full coverage of the clusters out to the virial radii and beyond has not been possible. Probing this large radius region is essential for testing models of large scale structure formation.
New wide field CCD mosaics, for the first time, allow mass measurements out to very large radius. We have obtained images for a sample of clusters with the ``Big Throughput Camera'' (BTC) on the CTIO 4m. This camera comprises four thinned SITE 2048^2 CCDs, each 15\arcmin on a side for a total area of one quarter of a square degree. We have developed an automated reduction pipeline which: 1) corrects for spatial distortions, 2) corrects for PSF anisotropy, 3) determines relative scaling and background levels, and 4) combines multiple exposures.
In this poster we will present some preliminary results of our cluster lensing study. This will include radial mass and light profiles and 2-d mass and galaxy density maps.

Buckets on the floor catch rainwater. The roof was fixed eight years ago, but is now leaking again.
City staff and Goose Creek City Council will decide what happens next at the Casey Community Center, located off Old Moncks Corner Road.
The building is used for recreation by children and adults, and offers programs such as gymnastics and painting classes.
Some options discussed at the July 9 council meeting included finding a quick solution to assess and fix the problems at the Casey Center and possibly passing a hospitality tax to build Phase 2 of the Community Center and move the Casey Center's activities to the new building.
A number of Goose Creek residents voiced concerns about the structure.
"The Casey Center is not operational," Berkeley County School Board member Shannon Lee said during public comments. "There were buckets catching rainwater."
Lee said she has three boys that participate in gymnastics at the Casey Center, which she said also has had air conditioning issues. "Before we expand and allow more people in let's fix what we have and make sure the Casey Center is safe for our students there," Lee said.
Councilmember Franklin Moore said an engineer was expected to inspect the Casey Center roof soon.
Moore made a motion to give the city administrator the authority to take action to repair the roof. The motion received a second from Councilmember Jerry Tekac but would eventually fail.
Director of Recreation Gary Stuber said the estimated cost for repairs in 2004 was $38,000. He said the estimated cost to rip the roof off is $65,000.
City Administrator Dennis Harmon said a prudent course of action would be to analyze the situation. Harmon said if the repair estimate is more than $10,000 he would not do anything without council's approval.
"We don't know how much rust we have on the bolts," Mayor Michael Heitzler said. "We don't know if the repair is $3,800 or $38,000. I think it's too soon to make a motion.
"The frustration right now is the timing it's taking to fix these things," Councilmember Kimo Esarey said. "We need to fix it so the kids are not playing in water."
"I think we all know the roof's bad," Tekac said. "I think we have neglected our responsibility as council . . . it takes too long to get things done."
Tekac withdrew his second on the motion, which then failed.
Heitzler said another option would be a special tax district for recreation to include Okatee, Devon Forest, College Park Road and parts of Crowfield.
"I'd like to see city council pass the hospitality tax, bond that money and build phase two of the Community Center, open it, then close the Casey Center and move those programs to the new Community Center," Heitzler said. "Are we going to pass the hospitality tax and build a recreation center? I don't know. My colleagues (on council) will decide.
"I will close the Casey Center. Parents, if you think your children are unsafe, take them out. Gymnastics is not that important."
"There is a backup plan," Moore said. "If we don't pass the hospitality tax we'll patch the roof."
"I can't have children in there if it's unsafe," Heitzler said. "In hindsight, perhaps we should not have expanded the gymnastics program until we had a building that can handle it."
Heitzler said the Casey Center was built in 1975 and is past its life expectancy.
"It's been hard without raising taxes to keep up with the demand for service," Heitzler said. "The gymnastics program exploded on us unexpectedly. They asked if they could use it. We said it's not a good facility but they wanted to use it anyway. We repaired it eight years ago so it would last a few more years."

The Preservation League of New York State this month is honoring developer Rocco Termini's Hotel @ The Lafayette project with its Excellence in Historic Preservation award.
The statewide awards program is designed to recognize notable achievements in preserving, promoting and reusing the state's "irreplaceable architectural heritage," according to a press release.
"This project has transformed a landmark building in downtown Buffalo from a neglected shadow of its former self to a bustling hub of residential, commercial and hospitality activity," said Jay DiLorenzo, president of the Preservation League.
Besides Termini's Signature Development Buffalo, the League also credited architect Carmina Wood Morris P.C., room for home, R&P Oak Hill Development LLC, Northeast Mechanical, Frey Electric and H&M Plumbing, all of Buffalo, and Schenne & Associates of East Aurora. The group also cited state and federal historic tax credits as a contributing factor.
The Buffalo News is also being honored as "an outstanding publication," singling out editorial writer Dawn Marie Bracely and Publisher Emeritus Stanford Lipsey.

I know what you're thinking - another Mexican restaurant in Lodi? Yes, but it's nothing like the typical taqueria you're imagining.
Alebrije Mexican Bistro, a new Mexican restaurant on the corner of Ham Lane and Lockeford Street, is unlike any other restaurant in Lodi. Though you can order items to go, it is not until you sit in the quaint dining area that you gain the experience that owners Ruben and Adi Larrazolo offer their customers.

Featured Golf News
Masters Donates $1 Million to First Tee
The First Tee has received a $1 million donation from the Masters Tournament, one of its founding partners. The contribution comes as part of the charitable donations made following the 2010 tournament.
"We are grateful to the Masters Tournament for its consistent support of our organization," said Joe Louis Barrow, Jr., CEO of The First Tee. "Since 1997, The First Tee has grown from a budding organization focused on sharing the great values associated with the game of golf to a nationally-recognized youth development organization with proven ability to impart positive life skills and core values to the young people in our programs.
"It is because of the support of organizations like the Masters that we have been able to impact the lives of more than 3.5 million young people in such a short period of time."
The First Tee has received more than $13 million in donations from the Masters since 1997. In addition, the Masters annually supports The First Tee of Augusta.
The donation will be used to further enhance the Life Skills Experience delivered at more than 200 Chapters of The First Tee; advance The First Tee National School Program, which is currently bringing golf and core value lessons to students in a physical education setting at more than 3,500 elementary schools throughout the United States; and advance the training and education of the coaches, program directors and Chapter executives, all of whom are integral to the success of The First Tee program activities.
About The First Tee

Private organizations have served as indispensible partners to the civilian space program since NASA's formation and have shared in its success. Here, Dr. Paul C. Fletcher and Mr. Duane D. Erway, employees of Electro-Optical Systems, Inc. (EOS), test a NASA-funded laser beacon for the Gemini Program. The beacon emitted a pencil-thin beam from Earth into the upper atmosphere. NASA and EOS hoped that the beacon might serve as an alternative communication system for manned flights if it was visible from the spacecraft while in orbit.

What a beautiful pen!
By subtleman
from New York
Comments about Parker Sonnet Cisele Ballpoint:
I've bought many pens from Levenger, but the Sonnet is my new favorite. I chose the champagne one with the gold trim as my holiday gift (nice when you get to choose!) and immediately fell in love with it. It's as functional as is it is beautiful.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love My Pen!
By LittleRed
from McLean, VA
The pen looks good, feels good in the hand, and writes good on paper.
Parker Cisele BP
By inkyfool
from Maryland
Normally I'm a fountain pen guy. And I have a few in my collection that are noteworthy. But this ball point pen, at least this particular style has stuck with me for years. Back in my high school days I would strike out for the highway on foot and hitch-hike to a town about 35 miles south to just hang around on the university campus, eventually the one I graduated from. My mom would drive me back home as she worked in this college town and commuted daily. So, here I am on the side of the road with my thumb out and I look down and find this pen. Essentially undamaged. Perfectly functional. It was this pen. Except at that time (early seventies when I found it) it clicked to deploy rather than turned. But that pen stayed with me all through college (I was on the six-year plan). Then, one day I couldn't find it. It's been gone since. And I have missed it. So I couldn't wait to get enough $$ to replace it. This is, by far, one the best pens I own now, and even though it's not a fountain pen, the balance and flow and feel are superb. Hard to go wrong with a Parker pen.

Titanfall review
A heavy metal multiplayer shooter that delivers on multiple levels
Customisation and matchmaking
We were also pleased to see that Respawn worked to improve Titanfall's long term appeal by adding character and Titan customisation options. Titanfall lets you customise your pilot and Titan using a level system. Players start at level one with a single loadout and a basic portfolio of weapons and upgrades to choose from. Further weapon, equipment and loadout options are unlocked by increasing the pilot's level.
Pilots raise their level by earning experience. Experience is rewarded at the end of each map. The amount of experience earned is based on how well they performed during the game and is acquired by doing things like killing enemies or achieving mission goals.
As a pilot, the system lets you unlock new primary, secondary and Titan Killer weapons as well as Tactical Ability, grenade type and tier one and two upgrades. Tier one and two upgrades are passive abilities that improve things like your pilot's shield or Tactical Ability recharge times. The Titan loadouts offer a similarly diverse set of customisation options, letting you pick what type of Titan you want to play, your primary weapon, ordnance, Tactical ability and tier one and two passive abilities.
Sadly we found that Titanfall doesn't let you customise your pilot's or Titan's appearance. Instead the game will automatically assign you one of three skins it feels most accurately portrays the loadout's playing style. These include basic soldier, shock trooper and sniper skins.
The only other serious issue we've noticed playing Titanfall relates to its matchmaking abilities. While the game in general finds games quickly enough, it oddly doesn't let you set up or host private games. Instead it limits you to recruiting six players from your friend list to create a team for a match on its public servers. This means that if you have a particularly large group of friends playing Titanfall you can't have one big game and will always be forced to play strangers.
In Short
Titanfall is without a doubt the most entertaining multiplayer, first-person shooter we've played in a long while. Featuring balanced gameplay, superb graphics and intelligent level design, Titanfall is the shooter next generation console gamers have been waiting for. Our only real qualms about Titanfall are minor ones. On the one hand we'd have liked the ability to customise the appearance of our Titan and pilot. On the other hand, considering the game's multiplayer focus, we'd also have liked the ability to set up 12-player private matches where we could play against, as well as with, our friends. However, these are minor crosses to bear and we'd still recommend that any gamer looking for their next shooter fix check out Respawn's stellar new game Titanfall. µ
The Good
Great graphics, balanced gameplay, thrilling multiplayer matches.
The Bad
No private match option, can't customise pilot or Titan appearance.
The Ugly
The carcass of anyone stupid enough to get in the way of a Titan on Titan battle.

Stadium does not belong on Buffalo's outer harbor
An outer harbor stadium, however far off in the distance it may be, would be a grossly uninformed attempt to revitalize Buffalo. If years of failed silver-bullet projects have taught us anything, it is that they just don't work. Recent examples such as the Bass Pro failure and the subsequent "lighter, quicker, cheaper" success at the Erie Canal Harbor make clear that the key to rejuvenating Buffalo does not lie in a massive cure-all project such as a football stadium.
As countless economic-impact studies have shown, stadium projects do not tangibly benefit their regions. In the few studies where stadiums are cast in a positive light, it is often because these stadiums have primary tenants who use them more than a football team would (such as a baseball team). Furthermore, many other cities, Baltimore most prominently, have successfully revitalized their waterfront without relying on the colossus of a football stadium.
People, not massive buildings, need to be the focal point of the outer harbor. Given the current difficulty with getting to the outer harbor, and the presence of the neighboring (and more suitable for most events) First Niagara Center, it is not a stretch to imagine people streaming to the stadium seven days a year, while it remains listless and vacant for the other 358. Additionally, given the rash of player safety issues currently gripping the NFL, it is plausible that the league could go bankrupt during the lifetime of the stadium, leaving us with a useless building.
Instead of investing money in a large stadium, Buffalo would do better by investing in a new convention center, making the outer harbor more accessible and nurturing a diversity of small activities and businesses that would foster an enticing vibrancy in this part of the city.
