The Best Family Situation Comedy Ever!
This is the television series I've been waiting for FOREVER! If there is an episode I haven't seen, what a sweet discovery it will be 35 years later...this show was (and I believe still is) the ultimate in family fun. The Bradys were normal people who learned to get along in a blended family. Despite sibling rivalries, communication issues, adolescent growing pains, and a serious shortage of bedrooms, they worked out their problems and differences and realized how much they loved each other at the end of every day. What a world it would be if families could learn to live life and care for one another as the Bradys did! I am excited about this series finally coming out on DVD since the show positively influenced my hopes and ideas for raising a family one day. How "groovy" it's gonna be to introduce my own children to Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy. I personally do not own any other TV series on DVD or video, but this is the one I told myself I would consider purchasing if it ever became available. The Brady Bunch ROCKS!

Yeah, it's WAY easier for me to just visit the sites. What would end up is I would tab any interesting link. Then I'd be in THOSE links tabbing MORE links. I'd have too many tabs.

To the Editor:
NBC reported that presidential candidate Mitt Romney spent Inauguration Day at his home in La Jolla, Calif., and quoted his aide that it was ''doubtful'' that Romney would be viewing the events of the day.
It is hard to imagine how someone who sought the office of president can be so removed from Monday's celebration of the democratic process for all Americans. As we suspected during the election campaign, Romney is indeed out of touch. How fortunate for our nation that the election turned out as it did! If I had been a Romney supporter in 2012, I would feel sadly betrayed.

Once again, Romney shows he's out of touch

Mushrooms. You either love them or you hate them but are they healthy?
The definitive answer, I've found, is YES, mushrooms are very healthy. The health benefits of mushrooms are numerous.
Health Benefits of Mushrooms
As you can see from the graphic above, there are many health benefits of mushrooms. However, not all mushrooms are created equal. So, if you are looking for a very specific vitamin boost from mushrooms, make sure you are eating the right kind.
You see, there are over 140,000 species of mushrooms and scientists are only intimately familiar with about 10% of those. And of that 10%, the edible mushrooms vary in their benefits. For instance, if you are looking for a boost in iron, make sure you are eating oyster mushrooms.
When heading out to buy mushrooms, you want to be sure that you are buying organic. Mushrooms have a unique ability to absorb and concentrate the properties of whatever they are growing in – be that good or bad. That said, the health benefits of mushrooms will vary depending on what medium they are grown in and where they are grown. For instance, most commercially produced mushrooms are grown in the dark. This can prevent them from developing high stores of vitamin D. However, some producers grow them in ultraviolet light to increase their Vitamin D storage. Research is key when deciding which mushrooms to buy to get the most health benefits.
Types of Mushrooms
Of the nearly 300 varieties of edible mushrooms that are known to exist, the following are the most commonly seen in the grocery store:
- white button (aka agaricus)
- chanterelle (buy them here)
- crimini (buy them here)
- shiitake (buy them here)
- oyster (buy them here)
- enoki
- portabello
- porcini (buy them here)
- morel
How many of these have you tried?
As an aside, did you know you can buy mushroom growing kits online? I've done it with portabellos before and it was fun and fruitful! (Click on the pictures below to check out various growing kits.)
Resources about Mushrooms
Dr. Mercola wrote an article about the health benefits of mushrooms here.
One of MY favorite sites, DIY Natural, gives you 16 reasons to eat mushrooms.
And finally, here's an article from Mother Earth News on why we need mushrooms.
This post talks about how eating mushrooms might help in fighting cancer.
Mushroom Recipes
And last, but certainly not least, I reached out to all my wonderful blogging friends and rounded up a set of recipes for you all to try. Check these out, cook them up and experience all of the health benefits of mushrooms.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - If the past tells us anything, it's that chances are good someone's house will burn Thursday.
Because they won't watch the stove.
Thanksgiving is the busiest house fire day in Birmingham, thanks to frying turkeys, burning food and distracted cooks. And food mishaps are the No. 1 cause of house fires in Birmingham any time of the year.
It is the same old story every year. And it could be prevented.
"Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and food,'' said Birmingham Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief C.W. Mardis. "Be safe and stay alert while cooking. Don't let fire ruin your holiday."
Each year, cooking fires nationwide cause more than a half billion dollars in property damage to homes and the contents inside. That toll doesn't include the death, injury and emotional turmoil that can follow.
Birmingham averages 38 cooking fires each year during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, more than twice the daily average. Since 2007, cooking fires during the Thanksgiving holiday period have caused more than $1million in property damage in the City of Birmingham alone.
While there was only one house fire between Nov. 23 through Nov. 25 of 2011 - an Ensley blaze that caused 80 percent smoke damage to the home -there were five incidents where unattended cooking led to varying degrees of damage to homes. There were three additional fires that occurred in trash containers when someone improperly discarded smoking or cooking materials, and four Birmingham residents were burned in home cooking and chimney fires.
The statistics are daunting:
-One out of every five cooking fires that began with clothing resulted in death.
-Ovens and fryers account for 20 percent of home cooking fires.
-Stoves and ranges account for 67 percent of home cooking fires.
-83 percent of frying fires begin the first 15 minutes of cooking.
Fire officials offer these safety tips:
-Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food.
-If you must leave home, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove or oven.
-Use a timer to remind you the stove or oven is on,
-Stay alert. Don't cook if you are sleepy, have been drinking alcohol or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy.
-Clean food and grease off burners, stovetops and ovens.
-Wear clothing with sleeves that are short, close-fitting, or tightly-rolled up. Avoid wearing flannel.
-Enforce a "kid-free zone" of three feet around the stove. Never hold a small child while cooking.
-Use the stove's back burners when possible. Turn pot handles inward to reduce the risk the pots will be knocked over.
Experts also offer these turkey fryer safety tips:
-Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors, no closer than 15 feet to a building or anything else that can burn.
-Do you use turkey fryers in in the garage or on a deck.
-Do not leave the fryer unattended.
-Do not allow pets or children near the fryer.
-Make sure an all-purpose fire extinguisher is nearby. Do not use water to put out grease fires.
-Follow manufacturer instructions and guidelines.
-Have a working smoke detector installed on every level and in every sleeping area of your home. Test them monthly and keep them clean.

Penn State DuBois Golf Benefit a Success
More than $8,000 was raised to support campus athletics at the Fourth Annual Penn State DuBois Athletics Golf Benefit. Hosted by the DuBois Educational Foundation and Penn State DuBois, 104 golfers played in the scramble on Saturday, August 25, at the Treasure Lake Silver Course. All proceeds from this event benefit the six intercollegiate athletic programs on campus.
The winning team shot a 15 under par (57) and was comprised of Jason McCaslin, Ian Miller, Judd McCullough, and Mike McCullough. Each member of the winning team received a new pair of Footjoy golf shoes. Other winners of skill prize competitions were: Flop Wall Challenge, Mike Stockdale; Putting Contest, Ian Miller; Team Skins, Andy Wiesner, Karl Weisner, Ruth Ross, and Kim Wiesner.
Title Sponsors again for this year's event were Johnson Motors and Veolia Environmental Services, in addition to 35 businesses and individuals who donated funds or items for the golf benefit.
"Aaron Beatty, who has been the golf committee chairmen the past two years, organized a great event and we thank Aaron and the 25 volunteers who shared the day with the golfers on the course to make the tournament a huge success," said Penn State DuBois Athletic Coordinator Ken Nellis.
After golfing, a meal of chicken and ribs was shared by all the participants and skill prizes were handed out for all 18 holes.

Last year at this time Ben was barely crawling. This year he is a walking and running machine.
This summer is shaping up to possibly be a great one for Ben and family. He is running around and very keen to his environment. He loves to go outside and help daddy and mommy with outside chores. The other day while I was mowing the lawn with the push mower, he was helping by going over the spots I missed with his bubble mower.
When I do light chores on the farm tractor, he rides along, happily honking the horn and turning the wheel.
I can't wait for summer to get here in full blast. Having an eager bunch of family, he already has a wide range of summer toys. He has a ball bouncer, a blow up pool, a little car, and soon will have a swing set and playhouse to play with. (more on that in a later blog post)
I've said it before but it worth repeating. Each day brings new things he does and I seem to enjoy each phase he is in more and more. When he was newborn I couldn't image that time going away, but it was. It was replaced by an ever better time, and that time by en even better time.
I truly look forward to evenings and weekends when I can spend my undivided time with him. And I'm sure this summer will bring lots of fun times, evenings, and lazy Saturday afternoons.

Port Orchard City Council approves 3-year agreements with police union
Wage increases for Port Orchard police officers and sergeants was part of a 3-year contract agreement approved by the City Council on April 9.
The two collective bargaining agreements with the Port Orchard Police Guild gives officers and sergeants a 2.5-percent wage increase this year and a 3-percent raise in 2014.
City Attorney Greg Jacoby said both are each three-year agreements and covers wages and health care coverage.
Pending approval, Jacoby stated that the officers' agreement started on New Year's Day and will end Dec. 31, 2015.
Both agreements were ratified by the Police Guild's bargaining unit before coming to the Council for approval.
"They were a tough, but fair negotiators" Jacoby said. "Disagreements were discussed respectfully and the spirit of compromise prevailed."
Councilman John Clauson, a member of the City's negotiation team, echoed Jacoby's sentiments about the negotiations.
"They came to the table with an open mind and recognized the current financial status of the City and funding," he said. "We also recognized the comparable of our state and with this agreement, they will be maintaining their position within their various ranks. They're are not going to necessarily move ahead, but maintain their position."
In addition to the wage increases this year and next, officers could receive a 0 to 5 percent in 2015 increase based on the Consumer Price Index for the area.
Jacoby said the wage increase scale for sergeants is the similar to the officers' agreement, including a one-half percent market adjustment for 2013 and 2014. In 2015, sergeants would also receive a 0 to 5 percent increase, but based on the COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment).
"The negotiating team looked at comparable cities and reach the conclusion a slight market adjustment was necessary," Jacoby said. "This will bring the sergeants up to level comparable to other cities with similar police forces and budgets."
The wage increases for this year were adopted in the 2013 budget, said Jacoby.
He said officers and sergeants will continue to pay a fixed percentage of the monthly health care premium.
Under a zero deductible health insurance plan with the Association of Washington Cities and Regence HealthFirst, police officers and sergeants would play between 5.92 to 9.41 percent of the cost — depending on spouse and number of dependents.
Under the Group Health Plan, the range is from 4.60 to 8.65 percent, also based on spouse and number of dependents.
Joining Clauson on the negotiation team were Police Chief Alan Townsend, Assistant City Attorney Dave Luxenberg, Human Resource Director Deb Howard and City Treasure Allan Martin.

It's impossible to always guess right on the NBA free-agent market.
Some teams will leave the 2013 offseason strengthened by the arrival of potentially key championship pieces, but others have found nothing more than bloated salaries and unrealistic expectations.
On their own, they're disappointing enough. But a combination of overpaying and underperforming can set a franchise back for years.
Not all the teams here stumbled into these double whammies. But each one will want an offseason do-over as the biggest NBA free-agent busts hit the hardwood in the coming months.

Editor's note: These are excerpts from past editions of the Press-Register.
• "ARREST OF SPIES. -- We learn through a private letter received from Tuscaloosa that two Federal spies have been arrested at that place. They pretended to be Confederate soldiers from Corinth."
• "ARTFUL DODGE. -- We have heard of a fellow from Bedford, whose pluck and patriotism not being of the first order, set his wits to work to devise some means to get himself exempted [from military service]. At length he hit upon the plan of putting some two or three dozen bees in the leg of his pantaloons, and on the day before the meeting of the board he put the plan in execution. On the day of meeting he had himself conveyed to Liberty where the board was sitting, and, upon examination by two doctors learned in physics, his legs were found terribly swollen. Inquiry was made of the sufferer as to how long he had been afflicted, and upon his answering for several years, the doctors pronounced him unfit for service, and he was accordingly exempted. His wife, however, with loquacity for which we suppose she gets no credit from the would-be exempt, let the cat out of the bag, and the trick coming to the knowledge of the board, the fellow was again summoned, and upon his examination the swelling before pronounced incurable had disappeared. He was served as his cowardly conduct merited, and forced into the ranks whether or not. -- Lynchburg Repub.

• "The Council of Jewish Women have succeeded, after months of labor, in establishing a local branch for the benefit of immigrants to this port. The plan is that adopted in other port cities to prevent women landing being led away by designing persons or illegal traffickers. ...

We all know Tony Stark's story of how he turned a grim situation into his literal salvation. Consider the symbolism present in Tony's tale, because he was able to set himself free from incarceration literally and figuratively.
Stan Lee created the character Tony Stark amid the Vietnam war, but he still holds up today, with a modern reinterpretation in Afghanistan.
Tony's original Iron Man helmet was little more than spare parts and his armor was no different.
You will not find any elaborate heads up display in his Mark 1 Iron Man helmet. Time constraints allowed only for the most basic tech.
Heavy steel meant the Mark 1 had limited mobility and, as a matter of fact, abilities. His suit was a true illustration of function following form and could operate only for a short time.
In the comics, the Mark 1 Iron Man helmet was flat and had a silver- ish shine to it that suggested the look of a contemporary knight in shining armor. It's a good thing that it was constructed of such brawny material, given that Tony's escape meant his armor would need to endure the assault of his captors.
In reality, open eye holes would be awfully precarious- just 1 well aimed bullet or some shrapnel would take down Stark's alter ego in quickly. Stark's power source kept his heart and the paraphernalia on the Mark 1 working.
The electro magnet in his chest plate kept the bits of steel in his chest away from his heart. And, of course, subsequent variations of Stark's suit would engage the same procedure.
Characters out of text do not always ring quite as true with film versions.
As an example, the Batman movies were profitable before Tim Burton's parting the franchise and only Christopher Nolan was able to revitalize the series.
But we are here to chat in relation to Iron Man's armor so how about we get right down to it.
In the movie, careful thought was applied to making sure that the Mark .
This proved to be very lucrative, as fans embraced Marvel's first solo movie- and this is not easy, because comic book fans can be some of the harshest critics.
In the movie, Tony's armor looks very much like it was made from unused weapon apparatus. Audiences hardly had to suspend their disbelief to accept this likelihood.
The steampunk look of the Mark I was menacing enough and capable enough to allow for Tony's ultimate breakout from his kidnappers.
It's rare for a character to translate so accurately from generation to generation, but and Stark's Iron Man is certainly one of them.
Both the comic book and film iterations of Tony's Mark I Iron Man helmet and suit represented a new beginning for Stark as well as followers of the legendary comic book and now film franchise.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Broome County consolidated voting locations for Tuesday's Federal Republican Primary.
Of the usual 123 polling sites, only 33 will be operating.
The Board of Elections said that voter turnout has typically been much lower in similar federal primaries, even as low as 20 percent of those eligible.
"I always anticipate a 100 percent turnout, what I get isn't always 100 percent," said Karen Davis, deputy commissioner of the Board of Elections.
Close to 43,000 Broome County residents are registered Republicans and are eligible to vote in the primary.
Davis said one of the main reasons to consolidate polling locations for this election is to save taxpayer dollars.
"We've had the small towns go to their town hall, because everyone knows where that is, and tried to group them into small groups in the city and put a poll site in the middle of the grouping," explained Davis.
Polling locations will be open from noon until 9 P.M. Tuesday. For a list of locations, click here.

Gawker reports, and we're hearing independently, that later today The New York Times will unveil a new austerity plan under which employees will be asked to accept 5 percent pay cuts and possibly two-week furloughs in order to avoid another round of layoffs. A meeting with the paper's Newspaper Guild chapter, which represents the Times's unionized staffers, is scheduled for 2:30 this afternoon. Earlier this month, the Guild asked for volunteers willing to take buyout packages so as to prevent planned layoffs in two business-side departments.
A Times spokeswoman wasn't immediately available for comment, and a Guild representative said he wouldn't know anything official until this afternoon's meeting.
Practically every large newspaper has implemented staff reductions over the past 18 months -- most recently, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced plans to shrink its newsroom by nearly 30 percent -- and furloughs are also becoming increasingly common. Advance Publications, the parent of Portfolio, is among the publishers to adopt unpaid time off as a cost-saving measure recently.
Update: It looks like the pay cuts and the furloughs are one and the same, according to the official memo informing Times employees of the new measures.

Nam Dinh, MAB and UNESCO review progress of BREES programme implemented through MOET in Viet Nam
Nam Dinh, 4 October - Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Director of Nam Dinh Provincial Department of Education and Training (DOET), met with the UNESCO Representative to Viet Nam, Dr. Katherine Muller-Marin and Dr. Hoang Tri, Secretary General of the Man and Biosphere Committee for Viet Nam to discuss the successful contribution of schools in Giao Thien, Giao An, Giao Lac and Giao Thuy communes to the livelihoods of their communities.
Students from five schools developed projects to mainstream education for sustainable development into school activities. Implemented through the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and funded by UNESCO Japanese Funds-in-Trust, the projects were led by selected teachers, with active participation of parents, local community and authorities.
Projects included: i) growing an organic vegetable garden to raise awareness of the importance of using natural fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer; ii) planting trees in and around the school to raise awareness of the importance of mitigating the negative impacts of greenhouse gases; iii) composting straw discarded by rice farmers to produce environmentally friendly fertilizer; iv) campaigning to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic bags in the school and community; and v) promoting the use of sawdust bedding in small-scale family farms as a method to reduce water pollution.
This experience has led to a true integration of formal education with continuing education, as projects in schools were identified as a result of the community coming together to learn about climate change and biodiversity and to discuss the main issues of concern in their environment, such as the affects of burning straw discarded by rice farmers. It also led to education for parents and community as all five projects raised awareness of environmental issues of greatest concern in their localities. For example, children spoke to community members in a local market about the need to stop polluting with plastic bags and showed them how to use sawdust bedding in livestock pens as a method of absorbing animal waste and therefore reducing water run-off, thus reducing water pollution. To spread their messages as far and wide as possible, children also wrote articles that were broadcast by commune radio stations.
A workshop will be held in Nam Dinh under the leadership of Mr. Tuan and MOET officials to present the projects and discuss ways in which the schools and communities can obtain support from local authorities to ensure the sustainability of the experience and reinforce decisions to support environmental conservation.
School principals, vice principals and selected teachers will now document each experience in a way that constitutes guidelines with practical examples to be shared on-line with all schools throughout the country as part of the Education for Sustainable Development Initiative, funded by Samsung. The corresponding lesson plans and guidelines will become part of the materials under the e-learning platform that is being developed jointly with support of Ha Noi Open University and various experts.

This guide was created for use with MPICH version 1.2.6 or 1.2.7 using the ch_p4 device and the PGI 6.0 or 6.1 Release. This information is for both x64 processors running 64-bit Linux or x86 processors running 32-bit Linux.
MPICH is a freely available and portable implementation of MPI. Information about MPICH can be found at the MPICH Home page
MPICH is freely available for download from the MPICH download page.
There are no known dependencies.
After you have downloaded and unpacked the MPICH packages, if you are not familiar with MPICH please read the accompanying documentation found in the mpich-1.2.6/doc directory. For 64-bit installations, please read the list of known issues before proceeding.
To configure MPICH to use PGI compilers you must first set several environment variables and then run MPICH's configure script. The simplest method is to use the command 'env' followed by the environment variables and configure (see example below). Some shells do not properly set the environment variables when using 'env'. In this case, please set these variables in your environment by hand before running configure.
The exact compiler options to use will depend upon how your MPICH library will be used. For most clusters using "-fast" is the best choice. However, if you are building the library for use on various 32-bit architectures, you will need to add the flag '-tp px' to create generic code that will run on all 32-bit systems. You will loose performance, but gain portability. For 64-bit architectures, code generated for AMD64 and EM64T will run correctly on either architecture.
If you wish to view MPI message queues when debugging your applications with PGDBG, you will need to link with a version of MPICH which has debugging enabled. To create a 'debug' version of MPICH, compile with the '-g -O0' options. You may wish to add the configure flag '--enable-debug' after the 'configure' command in order to allow PGDBG to display information about the MPICH message queues.
Please modify this example as needed. Be sure to change the prefix path.
env CFLAGS="-fast" CXXFLAGS="-fast" FFLAGS="-fast" F90FLAGS="-fast" LDFLAGS="-fast" \ OPTFLAGS="-fast" CC="pgcc" CXX="pgCC" F90="pgf90" FC="pgf77" CPP="pgCC -E" \ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/dir
To build and install, simply run 'make' and 'make install'.
make make install
After you have successfully installed the MPICH library you will need to create a 'machine' file with the list of your cluster's host names. For more information about machine files, please refer to section 4.14.1 of the MPICH manual (doc/mpichman-chp4.pdf).
To test your MPICH installation, the MPICH package contains several example test programs. First make sure that the MPICH install's bin directory in in your PATH environment variable. Next change directories to the mpich-1.2.6/example/test directory, then configure and run the tests.
env CC="pgcc" CXX="pgCC" F90="pgf90" FC="pgf77" CPP="pgCC -E" \ ./configure --mpichpath=/path/to/install/dir/bin make OPTFLAGS='-fast' testing
Results of the example tests are located in the examples/test/summary.xml file. Review this file for any errors
The PGI graphical MPI-parallel debugger, PGDBG, is a powerful tool for assisting in the challenging task of debugging an MPI application. PGDBG is designed to work with MPICH and allows you precise control over all your MPI processes. More information about PGDBG can be found at PGDBG product page. To use PGDBG with MPICH, first copy the PGDBG debug script to your MPICH install's bin directory. Next, run mpirun using the '-dbg=pgdbg' option.
mpirun -np 16 -dbg=pgdbg myapp.out
Note: You must have a PGI CDK license in order to use PGDBG with MPICH. For more information about obtaining a CDK license, please contact PGI Sales.
32-bit Issues
The example test 'longmsgs' will fail in 32-bits when using optimization level '-O2' or higher. Compiling this test with '-Msignextend' will allow it to pass.
64-bit Issues
ssendtest and issendtest
The example tests ssendtest and issendtest will fail with the message:MPI_WTIME is returning 0; a working value is needed.
MPI_WTIME is working correctly, however the ch_p4 function 'p4_usclock' located in file mpid/ch_p4/p4/lib/p4_utils.c has a 64-bit porting issue where it will return 0 if not enough time has passed since initialization.
The structf test will fail with the message:0 - MPI_ADDRESS : Address of location given to MPI_ADDRESS does not fit in Fortran integer
This error occurs due to MPICH's use of Fortran INTEGER to hold the value of an address. In Fortran, INTEGER has the default kind of 4 which is not large enough to hold a 64-bit address. Although the authors of MPICH understand this issue (See MPICH Article about 64-bit Issues), the method does not always work properly under 64-bit Linux.
A revised version of MPI_Address which correctly implements this method has been provided by Quadrics. To use this revised source, download and untar the MPICH 64-bit Patch, add "-DFIX_PTR_153_1_3800" to the CFLAGS, and run configure. Note that this patch does not completely solve MPICH's 64-bit address problem since you are still limited to accessing 2**30 bit address offsets. If you need true 64-bit addresses, you will need to migrate to MPI-2 and use MPI_Get_address.
Large Arrays
Due to buffer size limits, you are limited in the amount of actual data that can be sent with each call to MPI_SEND. It is advisable to send your array in smaller parts that are able to fit within MPI_SEND's buffer limit. Also, you can investigate the use of MPI_BSEND or MPI_IBSEND which allows you to create your own send buffer. However, you may still encounter message size limits. For arrays consisting of greater than 2 gigabytes of data, you must first compile your application using "-Mlarge_arrays" and then send only part of the array at a time.

EAST LANSING -- His name is Michael Jordan, and maybe he plays with his tongue hanging out. But even if he doesn't, he'll be a welcome addition to the Michigan State football team in the fall.
High-quality defensive linemen are the hardest players to find, and Jordan could provide immediate help to the Spartans greatest area of weakenss for the last three seasons.
Coach Mark Dantonio today finally got the word he'd been sweating out when the 6-foot-5, 295-pound Jordan, of Eastern Arizona College, was tentatively cleared academically to become the 22nd member of the 2007 recruit class.
Assuming Jordan completes his classwork at Lansing Community College, he will havee three seasons of eligibility as a Spartan.
Rivals.com ranked Jordan 24th overall among JUCO prospects. He had 23 solo tackles and 13 assists last season as a freshman for the Gila Monsters, based in Thatcher, Ariz. He has 11 stops behind the line, including three quarterback sacks.
Jordan was a two-year starter at Grand Rapids Creston High School, leading the Polar Bears with 75 tackles -- including an astounding 30 behind the line -- as a senior.
"Michael Jordan has great athletic ability and unlimited potential," Dantonio said in a statement released by MSU. "Michael is a versatile defensive lineman, who can help either inside or outside. We're excited about the opportunities that he'll have to contribute to this program for the next three years."
Some observers are outwardly biased against jucos, as if they're damaged goods for whatever reason. Former MSU coach John L. Smith ended up relying heavily on jucos when the negative recruiting started to work against him thanks in part to the groundswell of non-support aimed his way.
True, teams looking for a quick fix by going the juco route often get burned, but generalizations and blanket indictments are always risky because each player has to be judged individually. Every high school prospect doesn't contribute, either.
Jordan could be a difference-maker, and if his tongue hangs out when he sacks the QB, so much the better.

On Wednesday, the 29th of April 2009, we hosted a developer evening in the co-working space La Cantine in Paris, France. Around 50 developers followed our invite and came around to hear all about the Yahoo offerings for developers.
We've been in Paris before, hosting targeted developer evenings on SearchMonkey and BOSS. This time we wanted to give a broader overview and introduce the audience to seven things we do for developers:
- We provide a great online experience.
- We share the data that drives this experience.
- We share the research we?ve done to make it a smooth experience.
- We provide building blocks to build your own great experience.
- We provide tools to improve your products.
- We offer amazingly easy interfaces to the web.
- We offer our search index to tailor to vertical markets.
The slides are available on Slideshare and you can download the PDF versions in case you want to read them offline:
There is also an audio recording of the talk to listen to when clicking through the slides. The quality is not amazing (recorded with the in-built laptop microphone and I kept moving around, sorry) and we'll try to improve that next time:
All in all we had a great time in Paris, talking to the media about the developer program (coverage includes 01Net, and Le Monde informatique) and answering the detailed and very relevant questions the developers had for us before and after the talks. We will now see what detailed information the French developers want to get and will be back soon. Right now, however the upcoming Open Hack Day London is our main priority, so sign up if you want to have more of this kind of information!

MOBILE, Ala. -- A 19-year-old who Mobile police said was walking away from an argument was shot twice in the back by a 14-year-old this afternoon, spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said.
The 19-year-old, who was not identified, was taken to surgery at the University of South Alabama Medical Center, Levy said. He said the teen's wounds were not considered life-threatening.
Levy said the shooting took place about 5 p.m. in the 1000 block of Susie Ansley Street in Plateau. A group of young people, all known to one another, were arguing in the street, Levy said.
"The victim decided he's had enough and was walking away when the 14-year-old produced a handgun and shot him," Levy said. The shooter's identity is known, and he was being sought tonight, Levy said.

Humanity's understanding of the mechanical workings of reality is, relative to our history, in its infancy. Only in the last two centuries have scientists been able to directly observe and manipulate matter and energy at microscopic levels, and new discoveries and applications have skyrocketed in that time-frame, all while our technology continually enhances our ability to understand these things. Physicists are scientists who study the properties of matter and energy and perform experiments, often using extremely advanced equipment, to discover how these mysterious properties work and interact.Read More...
The physicist's work exists at the cutting edge of human science. Large areas of physics remain theoretical or hypothetical, so physicists must find ways to apply existing techniques and technology to solve these new and often enormous mysteries. This involves applying universal scientific principles in structured experiments, recording the data, and collating it into a report, as well as more specific tasks depending on the specialization or particular area of physics. Some focus entirely on theoretical physics, while others remain experimental physicists and still others become teachers.
Aspiring physicists should have must have very strong aptitude for mathematics, trigonometry, and calculus, and a master's degree in physics may be a minimum requirement. Educational credits in areas such as mathematics and engineering are also helpful, and required in some cases, by employers.
Physicists report using a wide range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Material Science, Data Analysis, Research Analysis, and Systems Engineering are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Matlab, Object Oriented Programming, and Physics. It is not unusual for someone who knows Material Science to be familiar with Research Analysis as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Physicists, more experience generally translates to higher pay. The average inexperienced worker's salary is approximately $75K, and people with five to 10 years of experience bring in more at around $88K on average. Professionals who claim 10 to 20 years of experience can secure some pretty cushy paychecks; the median for this group is a six-figure $109K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $126K.

The working unemployed
Regarding "Rural Oregon employment sinks toward Depression level" (Oct. 26): As a former resident of eastern Oregon, I can safely say that the unemployment numbers are not as high as reported. Many individuals who work east of the mountains work under the table.
There are two reasons for this. Let's say we have a man named Phil. If Phil is working for a company "off the record" (meaning he's not on the official payroll), the company saves the payroll taxes it would pay if it reported him as an employee. The company wins. On the other hand, Phil can still collect unemployment benefits because he's not officially working. Phil wins.
Phil could potentially earn decent wages every month and still be "unemployed." In this respect, there's little incentive for legitimate employment.
Kirkland, Wash.
Kitzhaber's jobs plan
As I read "Job plans, sure, but will they work?" (Oct. 26), regarding the gubernatorial candidates' views on putting Oregon back to work, I was struck by the plan offered by ex-Gov. John Kitzhaber. His plan entails one-time projects that will not result in new full-time jobs. The firms that will perform the environmental jobs will utilize their current employees and then go on to the next job.
So, Governor, where's the beef?

What wars?
I was pleased to see the Oct. 24 editorial acknowledging the total absence of discussion of our country's wars in the current political season ("Wars? What wars?"). I had similar thoughts last week when President Barack Obama was in town urging us to keep his party in power without so much as a mention of the country's ongoing occupation of Muslim countries.
The withdrawal of "combat troops" from Iraq is a sham, as if 50,000 American soldiers are only there to protect embassy employees and train the Iraqi military -- not to mention the thousands of private contractors and hundreds of military bases that never seem to be included in the accounting of our presence there and in Afghanistan. Our military and CIA are conducting an undeclared "shadow war" in Pakistan with unmanned drones and elsewhere with special operations forces charged with eliminating our "enemies."
We demonize Muslims with blanket stereotypes of their violent intentions to destroy us in an endless War on Terror, while somehow hypocritically ignoring the death and destruction we have wrought by invading and occupying their countries. Our totally dysfunctional government is presumably delivering functioning government to corrupt regimes, when in fact, our presence is driven by corporate desires to seize more of the region's rich resources.
Our wars are generating hatred toward us and recruiting more people who want to fight and resist our aggressions. We are silent because we have come to accept a permanent state of war, which is bankrupting our treasury and our moral integrity.

War secrets
I can't help but notice that the Pentagon and the administration are terribly concerned about the release of classified documents by WikiLeaks, but show no concern at all regarding the revelations of the deaths of innocent civilians at the hands of the U.S. military or the torture and murder of prisoners by the government that we support.

Wyden makes a winning case
If you weren't supporting Ron Wyden before last Friday's debate at the Portland City Club, you should be afterward. I went downtown to watch live. Wyden showed that he not only has a record of solving problems, but he also is ready to keep his sleeves rolled up and take on new problems.
Jim Huffman, on the other hand, didn't have much to offer other than the tired, shopworn rhetoric about taxes and government. Not once did I hear a clear-cut solution to a problem.
Let's send Wyden back to the Senate so he can do what he does best -- work hard for Oregon.
Classroom Q&A
Does Seth Stambaugh, student teacher at Sexton Mountain Elementary School, really feel he had an ethical or moral obligation to answer a personal question asked by his fourth-grade student? I offer my suggestions for answering personal questions in the future.
Student: "Are you married?" Mr. Stambaugh: "Please open your book to page 10."
"Are you divorced?" "Turn to page 10."
"Are you happily married?" "Turn to page 10."
"Do you love your wife, husband, significant other?" "Turn to page 10."
I retired from the Beaverton School District in 2005 and never confided in students about my personal life. I doubt they knew anything about me other than I worked in the library and -- gasp -- they saw me shopping one time. Teachers are responsible for conducting the school day as a time for learning. It is not appropriate to spend precious time discussing personal issues with students, for crying out loud.
More time teaching and less time chatting may help raise Oregon students' test scores.

In truth, it's our own fault
We really are getting the government we deserve. PolitiFact has done a great service in pointing out how politicians on both sides of the spectrum twist the facts, evade and outright lie about both their own and their opponents' positions, but we voters don't really seem to care. After they are elected, we seem surprised when they continue to twist facts, evade and lie to maintain their positions of power.
Wouldn't it be great if a PolitiFact meter had to be attached to the bottom right-hand corner of every political ad? Do you think it would make any difference?

Duluth, MN (NNNNOW.COM)
The body of 82 year old Paul Brandt has been found 10 days after he went missing picking berries on the Gunflint Trail.
The Cook County Sheriff's Dept., Gunflint Trial Fire Dept., the State Border Patrol and Search and rescue were unable to locate Brandt's body.
After officials suspended the search five days in, concerned family and community members formed their own search party.
This was the group that found Brant in a swampy area a quarter of a mile from his car.
It's a sad story but a great example of community members pulling together for a friend.
Brandt disappeared August 1st to his family's dismay.
Officials had eyes in the sky and on the ground as well as numerous search dogs to aid in finding the missing man.
When they were unable to locate Brandt, not only did citizens form their own search party but Sarah Hamilton, owner of Trail Center Lodge, even closed her business during peak season to join the search efforts.
The party found Brandt, 5 days into their search.
Jerome Brandt, Paul Brandt's brother was among the many that scoured the trail in search for his brother.
"I know he's a Christian and he's happy in heaven," says Jerome.
Approximately 50 people showed up for the first day of the community search.
Paul Brandt's brother Carl Brant and his 2 nieces accompanied Jerome Brandt.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.

In a battle of 5-0 teams, Milan clinched a playoff berth with a 21-14 win over St. Mary Catholic Central to stay undefeated on Friday.
"We wanted to jump on them early. Getting up 14-0 was huge in coming away with the victory," Milan coach Jesse Hoskins said. "Had a chance to go up 21-0 but they stopped us and came right back down and scored."
Milan's Robert Kanitz was 7 for 12 for 104 yards, and rushed for a touchdown with 43 yards on 12 carries.
Milan entered as the No. 10 ranked team in Division 3.
"After losing 22 seniors from our undefeated team, we were picked to finish in the middle of the pack" Hoskins said. "Very proud of my staff and the team."
Milan (6-0, 5-0 Huron League) plays Flat Rock (0-6) on Oct. 11, while Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central (5-1) faces Riverview (5-1).

TRURO - One strong provincial health board and a new, modernized form of doctors making 'house calls.'
Leo Glavine
Those are parts of the framework around a plan by Nova Scotia Health Minister Leo Glavine to revamp the province's health-care system to both reduce costs and duplication of services while also providing better, more efficient care to those who need it.
"We're really wanting to say more than anything, one provincial health-care system, that from one end of the province to the other is delivering high-quality care," Glavine told the Truro Daily News while taking a break from a tour of the Colchester East Hants Health Centre.
"So we really want to strengthen the system. Streamlining is part of that. There will be some admin savings but even more than anything, to even out some of the services right across the province and make sure that were delivering as a province."
Truro was the fifth stop along Glavine's "learning and listening" tour of the province's nine health authorities as part of his overall revamping of the system.
Along the way, the minister is meeting with health board members, senior leadership teams and community health boards to hear their views and to outline his plans for change.
The Liberal government has stated as one of its priorities to reduce the nine district health authorities to two and the IWK Health Centre to two authorities by 2015/16. The two authorities will be a board for the IWK with a provincial board made up of four regional management zones.
"Streamlining, and in many ways a very different version of looking at one provincial board," he said.
"Ours (goal) is to look at the full utilization of human resources, the physical facilities and especially to make primary health care in collaborative centres a real strength of the system."
For instance, Glavine said, the field of surgery "is a great example of where a provincial approach will allow for more to happen in such places as Truro and Amherst and other parts of the province, as opposed to having most major cases sent to the QEII.
And that may mean having doctors or other clinicians actually travelling to a given area to visit a patient, rather than patients travelling to see a surgeon.
"If we have high-quality care in Cape Breton, and a person doesn't have to cross the causeway, or somebody in Yarmouth doesn't have to come up through the Valley, that's a good day for high-quality patient care and it's a good day for our health-care system," he said.
"We actually need to funnel less (patients) into the QEII," Glavine said. "Now it is to get more work and more supportive orthopedic work in the other center ... farming it out for want of a better term."
Glavine said he would like to see good existing practices shared out across the province so that a "good system" can be built into one that "can be a model" for the rest of the country.
While the precise details are still in the planning stages, the new template will ultimately see reductions in top administrative positions, such as CEOs and some vice-presidents, he said, along with a "strong working board" that will move around Nova Scotia for its meetings, as opposed to being based in Halifax.
But whatever the end result, Glavine said, "we will not touch the front line health care."

( Hebrew zekharyahu and zekharyah ; meaning " Yahweh remembers ", Sept. Zacharia and Zacharias ), son of Barachias, son of Addo, a Prophet who rose in Israel in the eighth month of the seventh year of the reign of King Darius, 520 B.C. ( Zechariah 1:1 ) just two months after Aggeus began to prophesy (Agg., i, 1). The urgings of the two Prophets brought about the building of the second temple ( Ezra 5 and 6 ). Addo was one of the chief priests who, in the first year of the reign of Cyrus 538 B.C., returned with Zorobabel from captivity ( Nehemiah 12:4 ). Sixteen years thereafter, during the high priesthood of Joacim (verse 12), Zacharia, of the family of Addo (Heb. of verse 16), is listed as a chief priest. This Zacharia is most likely the Prophet and author of the canonical book of the same name. It is not at all probable that the Prophet Zacharias is referred to by Christ ( Matthew 23:35 ; Luke 11:51 ) as having been slain by the Jews in the Temple ; that Zacharias was the son of Joiada ( 2 Chronicles 24:20 ). Moreover, the Jews of Zorobabel's time obeyed the Prophet Zacharias ( Zechariah 6:7 ); nor is there, in the Books of Esdras, any trace of so heinous a crime perpetrated in the Temple court.
The prophecy of Zacharias is one of the books admitted by both Jews and Christians into their canon of Sacred Writings, one of the Minor Prophets. This article will treat its contents and interpretation, canonicity, author, time, place, and occasion.
Introduction. The purpose of the book, the return of the people to Yahweh (i, 1-6).
(1) The eight visions of the Prophet, on the night of the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month of the second year of the rule of Darius in Babylon (i, 7-vi, 8).
(2) Sequel to the eight visions
As a sequel to the eight visions, especially to the fourth and fifth, Yahweh bids Zacharias take of the gold and silver brought from Babylon by a deputation of Jews of the captivity, and therewith to make crowns; to place these crown upon the head of Jesus the high priest, and then to hang them as a votive-offering in the Temple (vi, 9-15). The critics generally insist that it was Zorobabel and not Jesus who was to be crowned. They err in missing the prophetic symbolism of the action. It is the high priest rather than the king that is the type of the priest of the Messianic kingdom, "the Man Whose name is the Sprout" (Heb. text), Who shall build up the Temple of the Church and in Whom shall be united the offices of priest and king.
(3) The prophecy of the fourth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of the rule of Darius in Babylon (vii and viii)
Almost two years after the eight visions, the people ask the priests and Prophets if it be required still to keep the fasts of the exile. Zacharias makes answer as revealed to him; they should fast from evil, show mercy, soften their hard hearts; abstinence from fraud and not from food is the service Yahweh demands. As a motive for this true service of God, he pictures to them the glories and the joys of the rebuilt Jerusalem (vii, 1-9). The Prophet ends with a Messianic prediction of the gathering of the nations to Jerusalem (viii, 20-23).B. Part Second (Chapters 9-14): The Two Burdens
Many years have gone by. The temple of Zorobabel is built. The worship of Yahweh is restored. Zacharias peers into the faraway future and tells of the Messianic kingdom.
(1) First burden, in Hadrach (ix-xi)
(2) Second burden, the apocalyptic vision of Jerusalem's future (xii-xiv)
Zacharias is contained in the canons of both Palestine and Alexandria ; Jews and all Christians accept it as inspired. The book is found among the Minor Prophets in all the canonical lists down to those of Trent and the Vatican. The New Testament writes often refer to the prophecies of the Book of Zacharias as fulfilled. Matthew (xxi, 5) says that in the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the details were brought to pass that Zacharias (ix, 9) had predicted; and John (xii, 15) bears like witness. Although, in xxvii, 9, Matthew makes mention of Jeremias only-yet he refers to the fulfilment of two prophecies, that of Jeremias (xxxii, 6-9) about the purchase of the potter's field and that of Zacharias (xi, 12, 13) about the thirty pieces of silver, the price set upon the type of the Messias. John (xix, 37) sees in the Crucifixion a fulfilling of Zacharias's words, "they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced" (xii, 10). Matthew (xxvi, 31) thinks that the Prophet (xiii, 7) foretold the scattering of the Lord's disciples.
In the foregoing analysis of the contents of Zacharias, we have stated the author, time, place and occasion of the book. The author of the entire prophecy is Zacharias. The time of part first is the second and fourth years of the reign of Darius in Babylon (520 and 522 B.C.). The time of part second is probably toward the end of the reign of Darius or the beginning of that of Xerxes (485 B.C.). The place of the entire prophecy is Jerusalem. The occasion of the first part is to bring about the building of the second Temple ; that of the second part is perhaps the approach of the Prophet's death. The traditional view taken by Catholic exegetes on the unity of authorship of the book is due in part to the witness of all manuscripts of the original text and of the various versions; this unanimity shows that both in Judaism and the Church there has never been a serious doubt in the matter of the unity of authorship of Zacharias. Solid reason, and not mere conjecture, are necessary to shake confidence in this traditional view. No such solid reasons are forthcoming. Internal evidence is appealed to; but internal evidence does not here favour divine criticism. Quite the reverse; scope and style are one in the prophecy.A. Unity of scope
The entire prophecy has the same scope; it is permeated throughout with the very same Messianic forecasting. The kingdom and priesthood of the Messias are obscurely depicted in the visions of the first part; vividly in the two burdens of the second part. Both sections insist upon the vengeance to be wrought against foes of Juda (cf. i, 14, and vi, 8, with ix, 1 sq.); the priesthood and kingship united in the Christ (cf. iii, 8 and vi, 12 with ix, 9-17); the conversion of the gentiles (cf. ii, 11; vi, 15, and viii, 22, with xiv, 16, 17); the return of Israel from captivity (cf. viii, 7, 8, with ix, 11-16; x, 8 sq.); the holiness of the new kingdom (cf. iii, 1, and v, 1 sq., with xiii, 1); its prosperity (cf. i, 17; iii, 10; viii, 3 sq., with xi, 16; xiv, 7 sq.).B. Unity of style
Whatever slight differences there are in the style of the two sections can be readily enough explained by the fact that the visions are in prose and the burdens in poetry. We can understand that one and the same writer may show differences in form and mode of expression, if, after a period of thirty-five years, he works out in exultant and exuberant poetical form the theme which, long before and under very different circumstances, he had set forth in calmer language and prosaic mould. To counterbalance these slight stylistic differences, we have indubitable evidence of unity of style. Modes of expression occur in both parts which are distinctive of Zacharias. Such are, for instance: the very pregnant clause "and after them the land was left desolate of any that crossed over and of any that returned into it" -- Hebrew me'ober umisshab (vii, 14, ad ix, 8); the use of the Hiphil of 'abar in the sense of "taking away iniquity" (iii, 4, and xiii, 2); the metaphor of "the eye of God " for His xxyyyk.htm">Providence (iii, 9; i, 10; and ix, 1); the designations of the chosen people, " house of Juda and house of Israel ", " Juda, Israel, Jerusalem ", " Juda and Ephraim", "Juda and Joseph" (cf. i, 2, 10; vii, 15 etc., and ix, 13; x, 6; xi, 14 etc.). Moreover, verses and portions of verses of the first part are identical with verses and portions of verses of the second part (cf. ii, 10, and ix, 9; ii, 6, and ix, 12, 13; vii, 14, and ix, 8; viii, 14, and xiv, 5).C. Divisive Criticism
It is generally allowed that Zacharias is the author of the first part of the prophecy (chapters i-viii). The second part (ix-xiv) is attributed by the critics to one or many other writers. Joseph Mede, and Englishman, started the issue, in his "Fragmenta sacra" (London, 1653), 9. Wishing to save from error Matt., xxvii, 9, 19, he attributed the latter portion of Zacharias to Jeremias. In this exegesis, he was seconded by Kidder, "The demonstration of the Messias" (London, 170), 199, and Whiston, "An essay towards restoring the true text of the Old Testament" (London, 1722), 92. In this way was the Deutero-Zacharias idea begotten. The idea waxed strong as was prolific. Divisive criticism in due time found many different authors for ix-xiv. By the end of the eighteenth century, Flugge, "Die Weissagungen, welche den Schriften des Zacharias beigebogen sind" (Hamburg, 1788), had discovered nine disparate prophecies in these six chapters. A single or a manifold Deutero-Zacharias is defended also by Bauer, Augusti, Bertholdt, Eichorn (4th. ed.), De Wette (though not after 3rd ed.), Hitzig, Ewald, Maurer, Knobel, Bleck, Stade, Nowack, Wellhousen, Driver etc. The critics are not agreed, however, as to whether the disputed chapters are pre-exilic or post-exilic. Catholic Biblical scholars are almost unanimous against this view. The arguments in its favour are given by Van Hoonacker (op. cit., pp. 657 sq.) and answered convincingly.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

If Republican party leaders have much sway over members of county GOP committees,
Readington Township Committeewoman Donna Simon may end up chosen by the party to take the state Assembly District 16 seat held by Pete Biondi of Hillsborough, who died of cancer two days after being re-elected in November.
Simon announced Friday, Dec. 30 that she has been endorsed by state Sen. Christopher "Kip" Bateman and the second 16th District Assemblyman, Jack Ciattarelli. Earlier she was endorsed by the county Republican chairs of three of the four counties in the re-configured 16th: in Hunterdon (Henry Kuhl), Mercer (Dave Fried and & Maria Bua) and Somerset (Al Gaburo).
"I am honored to receive these key endorsements and they speak to the strong momentum for my campaign heading into 2012," said Simon.
"The feedback I am receiving during my daily conversations with Republican county committee members throughout the 16th Legislative District has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. They recognize that I have what it takes to work with Governor Christie to create jobs, cut taxes and reform state government."
Also seeking the nomination are Bill Spadea of Princeton Township and John Saccenti of South Brunswick Township, Middlesex County.
Hunterdon Freeholder Will Mennen, who lives in Tewksbury Township, outside the 16th District, briefly sought the seat, saying he planned to move into the district, but he dropped out and then Simon started her campaign.
Once the Biondi seat is officially declared open when the state Legislature re-convenes on Jan. 12, the four county chairmen will schedule a convention of party committee members from the towns in the district.
The person chosen at the convention will serve until the November election. Simon says that, presuming she is chosen, she would have to win a GOP primary this spring to run under the party banner in November. It is her intent, she said, to seek election.

Engineering Students Named to President's, Dean's Lists
Monday, August 5, 2013
The University of Iowa recently published the names of students who were named to the President's List and the Engineering Dean's List.
Fifty of the 302 undergraduate students at the university who were named to the President's List for the 2013 spring semester are students in the College of Engineering.
The complete list of UI students, including Engineering, is available at http://news-releases.uiowa.edu/2013/07262013Spring%202013%20President%27s%20list.pdf.
The President's List was established in the fall of 1983 to recognize academic excellence. In order to be included on the list, a student must have a minimum 4.0 grade point average (4.0 is an A) in all academic subjects for the preceding two semesters, with a total of at least 12 semester hours of credit per semester during that period.
Of the almost 4000 undergraduate students at the university who were named to the Dean's List for the 2013 spring semester, 417 are in the College of Engineering.
The complete list of Dean's List students is available at http://news-releases.uiowa.edu/2013/07262013%20Spring%202013%20Dean%27s%20list.pdf.
Undergraduate students in the College of Engineering who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or higher on 12 semester hours or more of UI graded course work during a given semester or summer session and who have no semester hours of I (incomplete) or O (no grade reported) during the same semester are recognized by inclusion on the Dean's List for that semester.

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan's Brendan Gibbons took the field, toed up a potential game-winning field goal with 5 seconds left and took a deep breath.
Michigan State called timeout, delaying both teams' fate for another moment.
A move Gibbons later called "pointless."
He had a point.
Gibbons trotted back onto the field, lined up the 38-yard field goal and stuck it between the uprights to give No. 23 Michigan a 12-10 victory Saturday against Michigan State. That swing of the leg ended a four-game losing streak in the series, and assured the seniors they would leave school with a win against their in-state rival.
"I was thinking about the seniors," Gibbons said of his pre-kick thoughts. "Just go win the game for us.
"So I just went out there and won the game."
Gibbons has resurrected his career, after going 1-of-4 to begin his freshman season in 2010. He was benched, then later called upon to kick a field goal in the Gator Bowl against Mississippi State, which he missed. He ended that season 1-for-5.
But he's since found his touch, making 23-of-29 attempts the past two years. That includes three pressure field goals in last season's Sugar Bowl, highlighted by a 37-yarder in overtime to secure a 23-20 win.
He made three more pressure field goals against Michigan State, including the winner from 38.
Gibbons has found consistency, although his distance remains limited. His career long is 43 yards, and coach Brady Hoke elected to go with sophomore Matt Wile for a 48-yard try against the Spartans. It was Wile's first career attempt, and he hit it.
"Bigger leg, stronger leg," Hoke said. "That's one reason why Matt kicks off for us. We had some wind with us. That wind kind of changed really right before the start of the game, so we felt that he would have the leg to do it. He did by kind of a lot."
Gibbons, though, remains the choice from close range. He attempted the other three field goals against MSU, and hit from 24, 21 and 38 yards. And Michigan needed every one of them.
Gibbons has credited his turnaround to Hoke, who went with Gibbons as his kicker early in his tenure and has never wavered. He takes a hands-off approach to the field-goal unit, and Gibbons has thrived.
"it's kind of like golf -- I'm probably a pretty good golfer, if I would do it," Hoke said. "Those guys, they know what they need to do and how they need to do it.
"You know, both those kids, we have a lot of confidence in. And (like) anything else, when you show confidence, kids are going to respond. Not that you don't rip them once in a while, but I decided when they called the time out, I was just going to watch Gibby do his thing.
"There's no magic to it."
Virginia Tech and Michigan State might disagree.

AMAZING!!! A christmas story is my favorite movie of all time and i feel this show definitely did it justice. I was smiling from start to finish. It was cute, funny, and loveable. It almost even made me cry at one point. I'm definitely making this a yearly tradition for as long as the show stays around.

A big disappointment not helped by the miserably designed Theater At Madison Square Garden. Was prepared to be charmed by this but most definitely was not.

Great show. Kept to the storline of the movie with a few creative and funny twists. Parking is really tough and expensive especially if a Knicks or Rangers game or another event is being held simultaneously. We parked in Times Square 10 hours...continued

Congressman Loebsack visits CMTEL
Congressman Dave Loebsack of the Second District of Iowa held a meeting Saturday at Citizens Mutual Telephone Company to discuss the impact of broadband on economic development.
A few of those present at the meeting were employees of CMTEL, as well as representatives from the local hospital and school district whom rely on CMTELâ??s services.
â??The bottom line is itâ??s about economic development. Itâ??s about making sure that these small towns and these rural areas in Iowa can survive economically and thrive economically. They canâ??t do that without broadband,â?? said Congressman Loebsack.
Those at the meeting brought up their concerns that to use phone services from a company in a bigger city would take away customer satisfaction. It would possibly take away that personal face-to-face communication between a company and its customers.
â??So itâ??s really important that these small companies are supported, that we have loan funds available for them so that they can invest. Weâ??ve heard that they are going to have some difficulty in the next couple of years because of the uncertainty. We got to make sure they have the economic environment and we have the programs available for them to draw upon,â?? said Congressman Loebsack.
He added that he values the importance of the more personal attention smaller businesses, such as CMTEL, give to their customers. He will do all that he can in Washington D.C. to gain the support needed to in helping these small but vital businesses in small communities.

Some think the genome is a passive database that containsinformation used by the cell when it needs it. Others view the genome asactive. For them the genome is the regulatory control center of all life.This active view sees the genome as a program that systematically constructsthe body of the organism and regulates its processes.
We will contrast the active and passive views by going deeperinto the meaning of genomes and their genes. Gene networks link genes. Buteven networks must be interpreted by the cell to give them meaning. Howdo cells give meaning? How do cells control their activity? How do embryosgrow and organize themselves?
Multicellular systems biology uses computer modeling and simulationto give us a deeper understanding of the roles played by genes and genomesin living systems. These roles include embryo development, tissue regeneration,wound healing, and evolution. Even diseases such as cancer can be understoodas pathological developmental and evolutionary processes. The meaning ofgenes and genomes begins to emerge in this wider context.
As you move to the nanoscale, quantum properties emerge. In much nanotechnologyhow small differs from big can be accounted for in continuum terms, suchas a greater importance of surface over bulk. The distinctively quantumphenomena of nanomaterials start with discrete energy levels, and extendto coherent superposition of states, and to more exotic non-local effectssuch as entanglement. Eventual applications are likely to include metrology,sensors, and quantum computers.

Neuropsychological studies of knowledge systems have brought to light someunexpected principles of organization. I will present evidence that cerebralsystems subserving the attainment of meaning of objects are categoricalin organization.
Selective impairments of animate and inanimate concepts have attractedthe most attention. Selective and very circumscribed deficits of other categoriessuch as fruit and vegetables, country names and maps and many more are alsoobserved. The categorical organization of concrete concepts will be contrastedwith associative networks held to underpin abstract knowledge.

NEW TOWN - When the Three Affiliated Tribes needed a helicopter for aerial tours of the oil development on the Fort Berthold Reservation April 3, Monte Myers was called.
Myers, of Mandan, owns and operates Double M. Helicopters. It is believed to be the only utility helicopter company in the state. This is the company's third year of operation.
Double M Helicopters provides various services to the oil field and other areas including passenger transport. "With the helicopter I can land at any oil rig site basically and drop them off," Myers said.

Mike Williams, aircraft mechanic, is providing the ground support at the site near the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, west of New Town. The group in the helicopter went to Mandaree and other areas on the Fort Berthold Reservation that day.

Monte Myers, left, owner-operator of Double M Helicopters, and Mike Williams, aircraft mechanic, are shown April 3 with Myers' Bell 206 B-3 helicopter west of New Town.
Much of Myers' work is moving parts and supplies in the oil field but he also provides aerial firefighting, energized powerline maintenance, seismic support and power-pipeline inspection/cleaning, plus takes part in special events.
On April 3, Myers and his bright yellow Bell 206 B-3 helicopter were flying Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., her staff and tribal officials on aerial tours of oil and gas wells, the proposed refinery near Makoti, as well as stops in White Shield and Mandaree during the day.
Carson Hood Jr., director of the tribes' Energy Department, said they've used Double M Helicopters several times when they've needed aerial service.
The passengers boarded the helicopter west of New Town in the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge parking lot that day.
"I brought the helicopter up on a semi and we operate from here since there's no jet fuel around," Myers said. He said he takes his own fuel with him.
Mike Williams, an aircraft mechanic originally from New Town, provided the ground support.
Originally from Mandan, Myers learned to fly in the military. He's been in the Guard for 29 years and is still flying aircraft for the Guard. He has flown several different types of helicopters during his military career. Now he flies the C-12 plane.
In late March, Myers, flying the C-12, brought the last two members of the 818th Engineer Company (Sapper) back to North Dakota from Fort Bliss, Texas. "They had a nice reception for them at the hangar," he said. Other 818th members returned to the state earlier. That unit several months in Afghanistan.
Myers, who has the rank of chief warrant officer 5, went to flight school in 1986. "So it's 27 years and I still like going to work every day," he said. He's an instructor pilot with the Guard.
Myers was in Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005. He said currently there are aviation soldiers from the N.D. National Guard in Afghanistan a group he knows quite well and flies with in the C-12.
The eight soldiers from the Bismarck-based Detachment 42, Organizational Support Airlift, left Bismarck in January and will be in Afghanistan for a year.
The military helicopters are always flown dual pilot. Myers is the sole pilot of the Bell 206. There are four seats for passengers.
"Today (April 3) we're only taking three with at a time," Myers said during an interview before flying Heitkamp and others to Mandaree. "We were down in White Shield this morning with the senator and this afternoon we're going to Mandaree."
Through his military service Myers is quite familiar with flying dignitaries and other special guests to various areas. "It's such a timesaver for them. We can be on the ground like this morning in 20 minutes we landed on the ground in White Shield," he said. Otherwise, he said, it would have been much more time involved for a drive to White Shield and back to New Town
Myers decided to go into the helicopter operation business because he saw a need for the services he could offer.
"I did my homework and determined that it (the business) would probably justify taking the risk of flying all the machines, getting everything set up and going through the paperwork with the FAA. So here we are three years later and so far so good," Myers said.
He plans to return to New Town in early May for the MHA Nation's annual Bakken Oil & Gas Expo. The expo is May 7-8 in the 4 Bears Event Center, west of New Town.
