I've wanted to do a top ten list on this blog for sometime. I am sucker for those top ten articles on the internet. You know the ones "Top Ten Best Places For Real Estate In Places You Would Never Move To," "Top Ten Worst Places For Real Estate Including Where You Live," or "Top Ten Best Android Apps Released Between 8-10 AM This Morning." And then you click on them and then the site annoyingly makes you click through ten separate pages so you can see ten ads. By the time you get to the 8th one you have lost interest and feel your carpal tunnel kicking in.
This is not that type of top ten. Nope. Just a list of ten awesome things about the free IT packaging tool Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) 2.1. Once you get to the 8th item on this list you'll say "I can't stand it, I have to have it now" and you'll stop reading and click on the download links. But wait, how can a dot release that has TEN awesome things in it? That is a lot of stuff for a dot release. Right? Well the AAMEE team is pretty much obsessed with packing in as much goodness as they can. We've been focused on saving IT admins time and I think this release has a lot to offer on that front.
So without further ado I bring you…
Top Ten Awesomeness of AAMEE 2.1:
1) Existing packages can be updated!
We now have a new workflow that allows you to update packages that are created with AAMEE 2.1 so that they are always up to date. If you create a package in October, you can go back and refresh the updates in that package in December. Awesome.
2) AAMEE now supports more than just the Creative Suite!
Sweet, more suites. AAMEE 2.1 fully supports Technical Communication Suite 3.5 and has limited support for eLearning Suite 2.5 and Acrobat X Suite. Awesome.
3) No more merging of DVD images!
Some folks download the Creative Suite from the Adobe Licensing Website (LWS) as one single large image. Others get it other ways including from resellers and have to take the physical discs and then create images of them and then go through a convoluted and time consuming process of merging them. Merge no more my friends as we now support multiple disc inputs, both physical or iso/dmg. Awesome.
4) Preferences!
Those who have never used AAMEE or have created lots of packages with AAMEE may not think that preferences as a category are not worthy of my gratuitous and carefree use of exclamation marks, but trust me. Prior to 2.1 there were no saved preferences. Now AAMEE automatically remembers your preferences for things including the package name, save to location, Installer location and best yet all the options you select on the Configure Package screen are now all saved after you quit and reopen AAMEE. A big time saver if you have to create multiple packages in a row. Awesome.
5) Never quit AAMEE again!
Another time saver for sure. Now after you are finished building a package you will see a New Package button that takes you back to the start of the workflow process. It is kind of an infinitive loop. Why would you need this? Well let's say you had to break down the Master Collection into 14 separate application packages. Before, you would have to open AAMEE 14 times. Combined with the fact that we now have preferences this dreadfully laborious task would be, well, still dreadfully laborious. But overall, quicker. Awesome.
6) Support for Apple Mac OS 10.7 Lion!
You can now happily use AAMEE 2.1 to create packages on your 10.7 system knowing it has been tested and vetted by the AAMEE crew. Awesome.*
*See the Known Issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion doc for the latest on compatibly with the products and 10.7.
7) Support for Apple Remote Desktop 3.5!
Want to create packages with AAMEE 2.1 and then push them out to systems using ARD 3.5? Of course you do. And you can sleep well at night knowing it is supported. Awesome.
8 ) Filter updates by name!
We've added a Search by Product option in the Updates section of AAMEE 2.1. There are a ton of updates and sifting through them can be a little daunting. Now in the Updates screen simply type in the Product name and get instant results of what updates are available for that product. Awesome.
9) AAMEE 2.1 is thinking about its demise!
"Ever since the XP-38 came out, they just aren't in demand." Wether its landspeeders or packaging tools eventually things become obsolete. As exciting and shiny as AAMEE 2.1 is today, we have to come to grips that one day there will be an AAMEE 2.2 or an AAMEE 3.0. And AAMEE 2.1 has come to terms with this and starting with this version it will do a search at launch to see if a new version is available and announce its own redundancy. Awesome.
10) ExceptionInfo.txt file now includes commands!
Okay, so maybe I front loaded this list a bit and now the end of the list is looking rather thin. There maybe there is some truth to that. But if you are a Mac admin and having to deploy items from the Exceptions folder you probably don't want to have to go to a website just to get the command line text for deployment, right? Why not put it in the doc that is in the Exceptions folder? We did. See? Even this last one falls under the category of: Awesome.
So there you go, ten solid reasons to click on the links below and start using AAMEE 2.1. We also have a new Read Me that includes more on these new features and a list of known issues. And we are continually updating and revising the CS5/CS5.5 Enterprise Deployment Guide that explains how to use AAMEE, APTEE, AUSST and more.

Retail theft in Honesdale
June 25, 2013 —
On 06/20/13 at approx. 2:30 p.m. the Honesdale Borough Police were dispatched to Stephen's Pharmacy on Main Street, for a report of a retail theft.
Upon arrival, staff members of the pharmacy identified 18-year-old Paulette Hurtado of Olyphant, PA and 30-year-old Tiffany Garthwaite of Tafton, PA, to the officers.
Upon completing the investigation it was found that Huratado and Garthwaite were in the pharmacy shopping. While in the pharmacy they removed items from the shelves and placed them in their purses. These actions were observed by staff members who in turn notified the police.
Huratado and Garthwaite were both arrested for summary retail theft and issued non-traffic citations.

You all have seen, I'm sure, these pipes running in the TxDOT right-of-way to get water to the rigs and for fracking. I had trouble with them when they tore up the payment leading to my driveway.
They would not fix it, and I asked TXDOT for help since it was in their right-of-way, but they were no help. They seemed to be more concerned with helping the company than a resident of Texas. I finally contacted Marathon Oil, since they are their wells, and low and behold, the next day I have people falling all over themselves to help.
I just wanted to let Marathon know how much I appreciate the help. As a footnote, I learned through a little birdie that the district engineer in Corpus told the company they did not have to fix this, since it was in their right-of-way.So much for taking care of the people who pay him?

Douglas book reveals Obama job offerBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | September 03,2014Provided Photo
The cover of former Gov. James Douglas new memoir features his State House portrait.For nearly four decades, James Douglas eagerly climbed a political ladder that reached from Vermonts House of Representatives to its offices of secretary of state, treasurer and governor. So why didnt he accept President Barack Obamas surprising offer to serve as a U.S. ambassador or world health aide?
Thats just one of several revelations set to make news today as Douglas officially unveils his new autobiography, The Vermont Way: A Republican Governor Leads Americas Most Liberal State.
Before this week, the only buzz about the book surrounded the fact the Republican out of the spotlight since retiring as chief state executive in 2011 had teamed with a Democrat Addison County state Sen. Christopher Bray to release the 376-page hardcover through Common Ground Communications.
But the conversation will expand when Douglas reads from his memoir which features candid, often eyebrow-raising comments about state officials and organizations past and present at a 2 p.m. event at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
Perhaps the biggest talking point will be how a 2009 visit by Douglas, then vice chairman of the National Governors Association, to the White House just two weeks after Obamas inauguration snowballed into the president issuing an even grander invitation less than six months later.
I received an inquiry from a high-ranking official in the Obama administration asking if I might be interested in a presidential appointment, Douglas writes in his book. I had a basic question: what might this job be? Well, came the reply, filling ambassadorships is a slow process, and there are a number of them still open.
If that didnt interest Douglas, Obama offered an alternative: The president needed someone to lead Americas effort in combating disease around the world, the author writes, and hed like me to assume the task of carrying on this important work.
Douglas was flattered: An ambassadorship was nothing to sneeze at, considering that many of them are given to those who raised a lot of money for the president; not only did I not qualify on that score, but I hadnt even supported him!
But already leaning toward not running for reelection and instead retiring, he declined.
Well never know what motivated the presidents team to provide me with such an opportunity, Douglas writes. I choose to believe that it was for virtuous reasons: an effort to be inclusive, to continue to try to reach across the aisle, to be a president of all the people.
Douglas memoir spans from his boyhood in Massachusetts where, at age 13, he stuffed envelopes for 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater to his election as a Vermont legislator in 1972, secretary of state in 1980, treasurer in 1994 and governor in 2002, as well as his sole campaign defeat, against incumbent U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy in 1992.
The autobiography promises a larger message of how people of different philosophies can work together. But its 63-year-old author doesnt shy away from defending his political positions.
The former governor reveals he doesnt object to same-sex couples forming relationships but was acting on conscience when he vetoed a gay marriage law ultimately adopted by the Legislature in 2009.
I believe, he writes, that the institution of marriage is worth preserving in its traditional form.
Douglas notes the two Democratic Senate presidents pro tem he worked with to be quite different.
He writes of Peter Welch, now the states lone congressman: He had strong views, but, at the end of the day, he wanted to accomplish something.
And his successor, current Gov. Peter Shumlin: He was very public about his dyslexia, and he once suggested it explained his inconsistencies. No matter what he said, it was likely to change in the next conversation. I have no clue what really motivates him.
Douglas writes of his bewilderment that Bernard Sanders showed up at many of his campaign stops during the latters first run for U.S. Senate in 2006.
One of my staff began to refer to him as the Stalker. His staff members apparently werent energetic enough to arrange sufficient public appearances for their boss, so they decided to follow the guy with the best schedule, me!
Also, Douglas wasnt happy with former Vermont House Speaker Gaye Symington in her case, for missing his third inauguration in 2007 to instead travel to Washington, D.C.
She explained that she wanted to attend the historic first of a woman speaker of the U.S. House (Nancy Pelosi) taking the gavel, he writes. Call me old-fashioned, but I really think her responsibility was in Montpelier, rather than celebrating a partisan victory in Washington, and I expressed that to her.
But Douglas saves his most pointed words for the press, reporting he no longer reads his hometown Addison County Independent after disagreeing with one too many of its opinions.
The Rutland Herald and Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, for their part, receive three full pages of critique. The former governor says the family owners are community minded and supportive, but they give their editors free rein, and the staff wrote a number of outrageous editorials.
And at least one story allowing him the last word.

January 2, 2013 —
Many species of mammals abound throughout the Upper Delaware River region. One of the most abundant, and likely the most popular in terms of game animals, is the Eastern cottontail rabbit.
Ranging between 15 to 19 inches in length and weighing between two to four pounds, cottontails are so named for the white puffy tail that characterizes this appealing animal. Brown or grayish soft fur tapers to a lighter tan on top, with a white underbelly below.
Females bear an average of four litters per year, ranging from two to nine young in each. Nests are constructed in cups approximately six inches deep and lined with grasses and fur, which the female harvests from her own belly. In 16 days, young are weaned, furred and able to exist independently.
Cottontail rabbits can be encountered in habitats featuring brushy areas such as thickets and briar patches, stubbly fields and brush piles and even farms and some residential areas. They typically range in limited areas defined by the availability of food and cover. Survival depends upon knowing this territory well, including escape routes.
Even so, rabbits rarely live more than a year in the wild, although their life span can reach up to four years. In addition to harvest by hunters, many predators sustain themselves by consuming cottontails, while flooding and farming operations are major causes of nest mortality, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC).
Snowshoe hares, which turn from brown to white in winter, may still be encountered in areas of high elevation, such as the Pocono Plateau.

Tracy Grinstead-Everly, public policy manager for the Texas Council on Family Violence, said it can be intimidating for a woman who is seeking a protective order to have to face a man that abused her in the court room.
"If he has a lawyer, and she doesn't, she's at a disadvantage," Everly said. "If he's pro se (representing himself), she's at a disadvantage because he'll put her on the stand, and cross examine her about everything."
Everly said it can be difficult to determine whether a person can be held in contempt of a protective order if both parties are in the same facility.
"What if they're both in Walmart?" Everly asked. "Well, what is he doing in Walmart? If he's just shopping, that's OK. If he's waiting in the produce aisle for her, that can be intimidating."
Everly recommended that defense attorneys advise clients that have protective orders placed against them to stay away from the other party even if they are invited to see them.
"I'd tell a guy not to go over, even if she says, 'I'm naked and I cooked you a pie,'" she said.
The presence of guns can increase the risk of family violence, Everly said.
"Female victims of family violence are eight times more likely to be killed if there's a firearm in the house," she said.
Seventy-four percent of the 114 Texas women killed by a former or current intimate partner in 2012 were murdered in their homes, Everly said.
Portland Police Lt. Tony Cano said six Portland Police officers participated in the training.
"There are officers from San Patricio County, Mathis, Portland, Taft, and Sinton," he said. "It's good for them to know when a protective order can be enforced."

Moyer & Martinez: Together Again
Fate or coincidence? If you ask me, lightning (or rain in this case) does not tend to strike twice unless it means it. For the second home start in a row for Pedro, Mother Nature intervened to bring Pedro Martinez and Jamie Moyer together once more. Martinez only notched 2 scoreless innings against the Braves before the storm came and then he had to sit through not one, but two rain delays. He almost made it to the mound after the 1st delay, but only a few minutes later, the rain came again and the umpires called for the tarp again. By the time the game resumed, Pedro was out and again, Jamie was in.
Moyer went on to pitch 4 1/3 innings allowing 1 run on 4 hits while striking out 5 batters. I hate to sound like a broken record, but this Martinez-Moyer 5th start duo works. Obviously some higher power is trying to sell this idea to the Phillies as well. Fate has intervened yet again and brought the Phillies a win on the strength of this Batman and Robin combo.
bat did not hurt the situation either; Howard blasted 2 home runs for 3 RBI in the game plus a double and a walk. Howard looked like there was nothing he could not hit, rain or no rain. Pedro Feliz had the only other RBI for the Phillies which came off a single to score Raul Ibanez from third.
Charlie Manuel, the most loyal manager in baseball, sent Ryan Madson out for the 8th inning and Brad Lidge out for the 9th again. Both pitchers have struggled, especially Lidge who looks like a shell of his former self. Madson got into trouble in the 8th, loaded the bases and allowed a run to score. But he worked his way out of the potential disaster and handed the game to Lidge.
With a 4-2 lead, Lidge pitched a clean inning and secured the win for the Phillies. Do not jump up and down just yet; it has been this type of performance that Lidge has been unable to duplicate all season long. No one, except maybe Manuel, is convinced yet that this is the end of the Lidge problems, although we all hope that it may be so :O)
Tonight the series will continue with the Braves at 7:05pm. The match-up of Cliff Lee and Derek Lowe should be an interesting one!
By the way, the Phillies Cruise package that I posted yesterday is still available! And yes, I will be going! I also went last year and can attest that is was the BEST vacation ever! Hanging out with major league players, their families and fellow fans….what could be better? NOTHING I tell you….nothing. Join us!

Man, when Ryan Howard is on boy is he on. What a scary lookin' fella at the plate. Ouch. And I love the Batman/Robin tandem of Martinez and Moyer. Perhaps they can even share wheelchairs! LOL.
I am convinced Moyer comes out of the pen with a diferent mentality, you could bring him in from the pen after a 1/3 of an inning and I still think you could get 5 or 6 solid innings, maybe it's his warm up routine and the late notice of pitching…. howard hitting always helps..
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Great post Jenn. Cliff Lee lost, so he is human. And so are the Phillies, frankly. Cliff Lee will be losing more than one time, so don't expect him to go undefeated from here. Good luck with the Phils.'

Winter Training Update
With the hot days of summer a distant memory, Tim has been spending most of his days playing with trains, riding his new scooter through the house and playing various "indoor games."
But today, he asked if we could go outside and play some baseball. Heck, why not!? It was actually a beautiful sunny day here in eastern Pennsylvania and almost all of the most-recent snow had melted. So we layered up the clothes (Tim picked his own crazy outfit), and we headed outside.
It had been awhile since his last BP, but Tim still did a decent job of putting the ball in play. Despite the fact that our usual homeplate area was the only area of the backyard still covered in snow…
…Tim even hit a homerun up onto the deck.
Instead of throwing down our home plate, Tim drew this little triangular home plate in the snow…
The trampled area to the right of the plate was his batters box. He kept kicking the snow out of the box and proclaiming, "Batters gotta kick the dirt!"
Of course, just like during the summer, I had to chase Tim around the diamond after every solid base knock that he hit.
You can see his bat dropped at home plate just above his head. Tim loves to have me chase him. And he loves it even more if I just can't quite catch him before he scores.
At one point, Tim hit a high but short pop-up just behind the "pitcher's mound." Tim yelled, "I got a hit!" But I turned around, ran back about 4 steps and made the catch. Then Tim yelled, "Oh, I'm out!"
This was sort of a big step. Tim had been hitting, throwing and sort of catching for the past year or so. He loves going to games and has seen a lot of baseball in his young life. But other than "three strikes for a strike out," he's never really conveyed a real understanding of the rules of the game. So I asked him what had just happened and was happy to hear him explain the following:
Tim: "When you're a hitter and someone catches your ball, you're out."
Todd: "How do you know that?"
Tim: "Because I'm a natural guy."
My little natural guy and I had a great time during our first snowy "winter training" session.
Here is a better view of his hilarious outfit (taken as we were chatting about him being a natural guy). Those are pajamas under his shorts, which he's always referred to as "practice pants." His "batting gloves" are a pair of "Go, Diego, Go!" explorer gloves.
5 Comments
AWESOME. Love the concept of winter training, love the pants…you are obviously bringing your boy up the right way if the two of you are out in the snow playing baseball.
Great stuff Todd! Way to get the year going! Jan. 30th is FanFest at the BiA & Sarah & I cannot wait. Running the bases, touring the locker rooms, shagging balls in the outfield, etc. I'll post our experiences.
What are you feeding Tim? Looks like he grew a few inches (going to have a big strike zone). Isn't it great when kids are able to dress themselves – Love the pictures.
Out here in Hawaii no snow so Timothy into full practice with pre-season games starting next week – One of few good things about living in Hawaii – Thanks for the Winter Training Update – Also loved the video of Tim running around the HOF club – Aloha Todd
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, its great to get outside a little bit. Over the summer we were out there playing ball almost every day. Its a lot tougher in the winter…but we find ways.
I'm jealous. I wish I could go to M's FanFest. I'm looking forward to your FanFest entry.
Hawaii T-O (-d-d)-
He's growing like a weed, as the saying goes. Wow – January baseball games would be awesome. Hope Hawaii Tim has a great season!

House committee approves farm bill
WASHINGTON The House Agriculture Committee approved a $940 billion farm bill, a day after the Senate passed its version, setting the stage for Congress to finally begin work on a new five-year bill.
The vote by the House committee last week was 36-10, with mostly Democrats voting against the bill after nine hours of debate.
Efforts to pass a farm bill last year failed when House leaders refused to bring their version of the bill to the floor for a vote. The Senate did pass its version. The most recent farm bill, which passed in 2008, was extended until Sept. 30.
The committees chairman, Rep. Frank D. Lucas, R-Okla., praised the committee in passing the bill but warned that there was still work ahead as the measure headed to the full House.
Im pleased the committee was able to work together, find some common ground, and advance a five-year farm bill today, Lucas said.
The House bill cuts projected spending in farm and nutrition programs by nearly $40 billion over the next 10 years. Just over half, $20.5 billion, would come from cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps. The Senate voted to cut spending by $23 billion, with $4.1 billion of the cuts coming from the food stamp program.
The House bill, like the Senates version, would eliminate direct payments to farmers, which are made annually whether they grow crops or not. Currently, farmers who grow corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton and other crops receive about $5 billion in direct payments. Billions of dollars saved by eliminating the payments would be directed into other subsidy programs, including crop insurance and new subsidies for peanut, cotton and rice farmers.
The House, like the Senate, basically left the sugar program alone, keeping price supports and restrictions on imports intact. The bill adds money to support fruit and vegetable growers. It also restores insurance programs for livestock producers, which expired in 2001, leaving thousands of operations without disaster coverage last year during the worst drought in 50 years.
The House farm bill passed the committee with strong bipartisan support but exposed a division among committee members over the size of cuts to the food stamp program, which has long been a target of conservatives.
Hoping to get more Republicans to support the bill, Lucas and Collin C. Peterson, D-Minn., the ranking member on the committee, increased the amount of the cuts by $4 billion from $16 billion in last years bill.
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and a number of other Democrats on the committee offered an amendment that would have restored proposed cuts to the food stamp program. That amendment was defeated 27-17. The vote was largely along party lines, although Peterson, along with two other Democrats, voted against the amendment.
Cutting the food stamp program was hotly debated, with members quoting the Bible to support keeping the food stamp program at the current level or cutting it.
Rep. Juan C. Vargas, D-Calif., who opposes the cuts, began the thread by quoting a biblical passage from the 25th chapter of the Book of Matthew.
Im a Christian, and this chapter talks about how you treat the least among us, said Vargas, adding that he would not support a bill that made such deep cuts to the anti-hunger program.
But K. Michael Conaway, a Texas Republican, countered that argument.
I take umbrage to that, he said. I take Matthew 25 to mean me as an individual, not the U.S. government.
Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., then quoted a verse from the 26th chapter of Matthew, saying the poor will always be with us in his defense of cuts to the food stamps program.
Fincher said obligations to take care of the poor should be left to churches, not the government.
Christians, Jews Muslims, whatever we are failing our sisters and brothers, McGovern shot back.
A report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan Washington research group, said the cuts in the food stamp program would eliminate 2 million people from the program, most of them children and older people. The report said the cuts would come in addition to a reduction that food stamp recipients would experience starting Nov. 1, when benefits that were increased under the 2008 economic stimulus expire.
Placing the SNAP cuts in this farm bill on top of the benefit cuts that will take effect in November is likely to put substantial numbers of poor families at risk of food insecurity, the report said.
Senate leaders announced Wednesday that they would begin work on their $955 billion farm bill this week. House leaders have not set a timetable.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

- Basic nickel carbonate part I: microstructure and phase changes during oxidation and reduction processes
- Author(s)
- Rhamdhani, Muhammad A.; Jak, Evgueni; Hayes, Peter C.
- Abstract
- A significant industrial problem associated with the production of nickel from basic nickel carbonate has been identified. Fundamental studies of the change of phase, product surface, and internal microstructures taking place during oxidation and reduction processes at temperatures between 110 °C and 900 °C have been carried out. The various elemental reactions and fundamental phenomena that contribute to the change of the physical and chemical characteristics of the samples during the processes taking place in Ni metal production through gas/solid-reduction processes have been identified and thoroughly investigated. The following phenomena affecting the final-product microstructure were identified as follows: (1) chemical changes, i.e., decomposition, reduction reactions, and oxidation reactions; (2) NiO and Ni recrystallization and grain growth; (3) NiO and Ni sintering and densification; and (4) agglomeration of the NiO and Ni particles.

Glenn Swendsen, who is running for the position of highway superintendent in the Town of Tusten, provided several pictures of newly resurfaced driveways in the Flats that he said were done using town materials and manpower in violation of rules.
Highway superintendent George Kinch said he may have gone a "little too far" with the resurfacing of the area where the driveways meet the town roads, but he said, "It's not as if I was out there buying votes."
However, that was the charge leveled by Swendsen. He said Kinch used some 30 tons of town material on the driveways in an attempt to sway voters in the coming election.
Tusten supervisor Peg Harrison said that when a road is resurfaced, as the roads in the Flats were, it sometimes creates a "lip" with the connecting driveway, and current regulations allow for that lip to be mitigated at a distance of four feet from the road. She said Kinch went beyond that with a couple of residents who, initially, were seniors on fixed incomes, but then a couple of other residents requested the same treatment.
Swendsen said the work, which was done by town highway employees, involved eight or nine driveways.

Reflection and Celebration
For the Peace Corps, the 1980s prove to be a time both to reflect and to move forward.
Reflection takes the form of celebrations, donations, and a parade: In 1981, Congress passes legislation that makes the Peace Corps an independent federal agency.
On June 2, 1981, a celebration to honor the Peace Corps' 20th anniversary is held in Washington, D.C. To date, nearly 98,000 Volunteers have served in 88 countries.
On September 19-20, 1986, the Peace Corps celebrates its 25th anniversary. Five thousand returned Volunteers gather at the Washington Mall in the nation's capital to take part in the celebration.
On November 20, 1986, the John F. Kennedy Library hosts a special Peace Corps remembrance of President Kennedy, 25 years after his death. Peace Corps archives, including Volunteer journals and other artifacts, are donated to the library.
And on January 20, 1989, a group of returned Volunteers, carrying the flags of more than 60 nations where Volunteers have served, march in the presidential inaugural parade.
Far from being nostalgic about the past, however, Peace Corps staff and Volunteers push ahead with the same dedication to improving people's lives, including a new emphasis on small-business development.
New Initiative
In 1982, Loret Miller Ruppe, who will serve longer than any other Peace Corps Director, launches a program called Competitive Enterprise Development to promote business-oriented projects. In addition, the Peace Corps establishes several other new programs—the Caribbean Basin Initiative, the Initiative for Central America, and the African Food Systems Initiative—to help the nations in these areas of the world solve problems particular to their regions.
In 1982, the number of Volunteers falls to 5,380—the lowest number since 1962—but by 1985, funding has increased and by 1986, the number of Volunteers reaches 6,264. In 1985, Congress establishes a goal of having 10,000 Peace Corps Volunteers serving in the field by 1992.
On January 30, 1985, the first Peace Corps Fellows Program is established at Teachers College/Columbia University to recruit, prepare, and place returned Volunteers as teachers in New York City public schools. The Fellows Program soon expands to include teachers of different subjects such as English as a second language, as well as people interested in disciplines such as business administration, nursing, public health, and urban and regional planning.
On September 28, 1989, Director Paul D. Coverdell announces the establishment of World Wise Schools, a new program that enables students in America's schools to correspond with Volunteers serving overseas in an effort to promote international awareness and cross-cultural understanding. By the late fall of 1989, more than 550 schools are participating in the program.

Notebook: Parkhurst Has Chance Tonight
The Columbus Dispatch - April 02, 2014 01:54 PM
Tonight's United States national team friendly against Mexico presents another chance for Michael Parkhurst to state his case for making the World Cup roster.
At the Crew's training facility in Obetz, coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter said this game is another great opportunity for Parkhurst to showcase his talents.
"We're obviously proud of him and where he's at right now and how he's been performing," Berhalter said. "I think it's going to be a great opportunity for him to stake his claim for making the team and I'm confident that he's going to do a great job. He's playing with a mostly MLS roster, so everyone knows what he's been doing. He'll have some confidence going into the game."
Although Parkhurst is viewed as an outside back for the national team, he has exclusively played center back for the Crew so far this season. Berhalter said last week that Jurgen Klinsmann has said he has no preference where Parkhurst plays for the Crew, and Parkhurst himself said he has had no conversations about the situation with Klinsmann.
Berhalter said he expects Parkhurst to play on the right tonight but that it will still aid him in his development with the Crew.
"It's just game rhythm, him playing a full 90 minutes," he said. "That wasn't the case in the last year, so now he's doing it and he's performing well so it's that game rhythm."

Oduro healing
Forward/midfielder Dominic Oduro continues to progress after suffering a charley horse in Saturday's 2-1 win at Seattle, but Berhalter said he is not sure of Oduro's status for this weekend.
"You hope that he'll be able to go," he said. "I'm just not sure. I don't know how he's going to come out of the reaction from today. He was limited today, so we'll see."
Yesterday, Oduro was jogging as his teammates went through practice. Today, he was active in crossing and finishing drills while reporters were allowed access.
"I'm good," Oduro said. "Yesterday I did some running on the leg. It felt good, so today I went at three-quarters. It felt good. We'll try and push it tomorrow at 100 and see how that feels."
Oduro was fouled inside the Seattle area, leading to the Crew's first goal. It was his first start of the season.
"He took me off my balance and I guess I just tried as much as possible to hit the ball but he took me off my balance and I hit the goalie," Oduro said. "I just went in there to do my job and unfortunately I had to come out but I felt like I couldn't give 100 (percent) after that so it's better for me to come out and let somebody else do the job, and I thought we did quite well.
"It was a charley horse, but I have no fat on me so it went straight into my muscle."
In other injury news, Federico Higuain was not active while reporters were present but Berhalter said it is nothing serious.
"He pulled himself out to do just a little core stuff, a little bit of stretching," he said. "It's fine."
Schoenfeld loan
After being loaned temporarily to USL Pro affiliate Dayton for a weekend game, third-year forward Aaron Schoenfeld remains there for now as the Dutch Lions have a busy calendar.
Dayton fell 3-0 to the New York Red Bulls reserve team in Sunday's season opener and had a 2-2 draw in a scrimmage last night at the University of Cincinnati. Schoenfeld saw 37 minutes against the Red Bulls and recorded two shots. Statistics for the scrimmage against the Bearcats are unavailable.
"(Schoenfeld's) minutes with us, I think he played a half of one game with us all year so far," Berhalter said. "He's had the least amount of minutes. We just need to get him minutes and get him playing and get him back to full strength."
Midfielder Fifi Baiden, who was also loaned in advance of the weekend, was back with the Crew today.
Five Crew players are on the Dayton roster this season: Ryan Finley, Ross Friedman, Kevan George, Matt Walker and goalkeeper Brad Stuver, the latter of whom is training during the week with the Crew. Of the five, Finley and George started against the Red Bulls, with George playing the full 90 minutes.
Dayton plays Friday at Charlotte.
The absence of Finley and Schoenfeld means the Crew would be thin up top should Oduro be unable to go, but Berhalter said he has confidence in the guys at hand.
"We're confident in Jairo (Arrieta)," he said. "We're confident in Adam (Bedell). We're confident with the guys that we have, so we'll see how it plays out."
Crew Academy goalkeeper Parker Siegfried was in training with the Crew today.
"It's us tying the threads through the Academy," Berhalter said. "We said we want to continue to do (that). Also, we want to give these guys an opportunity to see what the level is like and see how they can compete at this level. For Parker, it was a great opportunity for him to be with us."
Siegfried was only scheduled to be with the Crew today, Berhalter said.

Kobe is on the trade block throw me your offers
Pringles has made out like a bandit. 4 quality starters, including a resurgent JRich. Jerebko and TTHomas are close to garbage, i guess Porky Pirates doesn't care about this fantasy league anymore, it's strange, but i guess his love for the Knicks overshadows any sense of competition. go figure.... Lin's play has made his mind melt.
Kobe is on the trade block throw me your offers
This Scorgasms vs Coquis matchup is going down to the wire! It appears to be OJ Mayo and Joakim Noah vs Brandon Knight, Joe Johnson and Paul Millsap! Who will prevail?!
I'm losing because Kobe is a chucking retard who can never pass...will never be on Jordan's level.
That is where you are wrong, my good man.
I plan to restructure, but in doing so, I want a team that I can truly barrack for. The only way to do that is to have players that I like on my squad. And I really don't like any players other than Knickerbockers, bar a very select few.
As the Knicks turn it around, I want to be able to win as they win.
Risky, YES! Faithful, YES!
Win or lose, I'm far happier with a squad that has Fields, Melo, STAT and Chandler, and will enjoy the fantasy league 10 fold.
Now give me Shumpert, smokes!
I got Lin. After Saturday's game, I pulled the trigger. So glad I did.
welp, best of luck to ya! root root root for the home team, if they don't win it's a shame... for all of us! maybe Smokes will be interested in a 3-way for you to get Shumpert...
btw, I think you can pickup Balkman cheap.
I actually think our trade carries pretty equivalent, albeit different risks for us.
I think it def gives Crazy better ultimate potential, which I think he needed to legit vie for the title.
Even with the Pre-Lin Knicks, Melo and Amare were very good, consistent fantasy performers (even if their actual NBA play was sub-standard).
For me, I traded two blue chip fantasy players for 1 -- though the 1 I got is a super-blue chip.
I thought long and hard before pulling the trigger. Ultimately, I think it's a good deal for me, but def not without risk, especially when I had a top3 team easy before, and could def reasonably contend for the title.
And this was with play from Amare/Melo that should only improve with the Post-Lin Knicks.
I would have preferred to just play the next couple weeks out, as I think there's a chance my squad could have revealed itself to be even stronger than it's current point tally dictates...but, I know someone else would have pulled a trade off for Love by that point.
I'm working out a separate trade with someone (simple 1 for 1 swap), if it consumates our proposed trade makes really good sense for me.
I have to see how I look after my deal with Crazy consumates, too-- tough to get a real legit feel for things till I can soak in my roster visually.

The Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is designed to serve students who are seeking to incorporate the spiritual dimensions of their clients' experience in the context of a professional counseling experience.
The goal of the program is to develop competent practitioners of the counseling profession who give the spiritual dimension an integral role as they help others. Students are able to seek national credentials through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and will have met most state licensure requirements in the state of their choice upon graduation.
Designed to allow for either full-time or part-time participation, the pace at which the student chooses to progress through the program can vary depending on his or her previous professional experience, theoretical background, experience in ministry, employment, and other personal commitments. The essential component of the program is an 800-clinical-hour internship (280 client contact hours) allowing students to put learning into practice at mental health agencies throughout the greater Baltimore-Washington metro area. In order to help students plan their academic program, the department has devised several "typical" programs. The "typical programs" provide a reasonably accurate picture of how students have progressed through the program in the past.
To learn more about the M.S. program, please review the typical course of study as well as the learning goals. You may also learn more about our extensive clinical internship opportunities.
The M.S. program is accredited through the American Counseling Association's (ACA) Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) under the 2001 Community Counseling Standards. The program of study has recently been revised to meet the 2009 CACREP Clinical Mental Health Counseling accreditation standards.
The American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) has certified the M.S. program as an approved training program.

Ground Station
at the Camp Evans
Project Diana Site
Thanks to Mr. Frank Vosk for donating most of these photos and his 1961 "TIROS" Ground Station Entry Card.
The TIROS Program (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) was
first experimental step to determine if satellites could be useful in the study of the Earth.
As the Belmar Marconi Wireless high-power station,Camp Evans played a roll in the opening of the modern radio with the Edwin Armstrong regenerative circuit test in 1914, then during WWI a major advance in communication science was made here in static elimination by Roy Weagant, major advances were made here during WWII in radar, in 1946 using modified FM radar equipment designed by Edwin Armstrong the space age was opened with Project Diana.
This page shows how at this same part of Camp Evans, called the Project Diana site, the Army played a major roll in the development of technology to receive cloud cover photos from a satellite orbiting above the ionosphere. Thanks to the development of this technology hurricans and typhoons no longer kill tens of thousands of persons in a single storm. Plus weather prediction has improved tremendously.
From the early days of wireless, to radio, to radar, to TV, to space communications and satellites Camp Evans played a part.
The April 1st launch of TIROS I. Twenty minutes later the first signals are received by equipment at Camp Evans and developed into photos.
A few hours later President Eisenhower views the first photos taken by TIROS I,
The photo page was flown by helicoper and jet to Washington for the head of NASA to present to the President.

" In July 1958, ARPA placed
technical direction of the development and production of the TIROS
by RCA into the responsibility of SRDL.
ARPA's sponsorship was later transferred to NASA and when TIROS 1 was successfully launched on I April 1960, it was under the auspices of NASA. All systems operated perfectly and flooded the meteorological community with a total of 22,952 cloudcover pictures.
The final management of the TIROS project represented a rather complex picture. The Air Force Ballistic Missile Division was in charge of the launching vehicle and the operation of a ground terminal at Hawaii; the Signal Corps was responsible for the payload and the operation of a ground terminal at Fort Monmouth. The overall operational phase was directed from the Space Operations Control Center of NASA, with the NASA Computing Center and a Weather Bureau Meteorology Satellite Center, both in Washington, D.C., playing a major role.
The results of the TIROS were most gratifying and fascinating. Besides the cloud formation, the first set of pictures - depicting a sweep along the east coast -clearly showed the contours of the coast and the St. Lawrence River.
These first pictures were immediately flown to Washington where the head of NASA presented them to President Eisenhower for public release. Later, even more impressive images were obtained from many parts of the globe, among them pictures of the Baja California Peninsula and the Suez-Canal-Red Sea area which are still vividly in my memory.
We received fair credit for our contributions through the news media and some official channels, but were muzzled by NASA in the release of any information or results from our ground terminal at Fort Monmouth. We ended up as mere messengers to deliver the goods for further analysis to the various centers."

Photo from NASA website: The very first television picture from space, taken by the TIROS-I Satellite on April 1, 1960. Received at Camp Evans, Project DIana site.
from NASA website:
The TIROS I spacecraft was 42 inches in diameter, 19 inches high and weighed 270 pounds. The craft was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel which was then covered by 9200 solar cells. The solar cells served to charge the on-board batteries. Three pairs of solid-propellant spin rockets were mounted on the base plate.
Two television cameras were housed in the craft, one low-resolution and one high-resolution. A magnetic tape recorder for each camera was supplied for storing photographs while the satellite was out of range of the ground station network.
The antennas consisted of four rods from the base plate to serve as transmitters and one vertical rod from the center of the top plate to serve as a receiver.
The craft was spin-stabilized and space-oriented (not Earth-oriented). Therefore, the cameras were only operated while they were pointing at the Earth when that portion of the Earth was in sunlight. The video systems relayed thousands of pictures containing cloud-cover views of the Earth. Early photographs provided information concerning the structure of large-scale cloud regimes. TIROS-I was launched on April 1, 1960 and was operational for only 78 days, but proved that satellites could be a useful tools for surveying global weather conditions from space.
Participants: NASA, US ARMY Signal Research and Development Lab, RCA, US Weather Bureau, US Naval Photographic Interpretation Center.

The antennas consisted of four rods from the base plate to serve as transmitters and one vertical rod from the center of the top plate to serve as a receiver. The video systems relayed thousands of pictures containing cloud-cover views of the Earth. Early photographs provided information concerning the structure of large-scale cloud regimes. In addition, the experiment to partially control the orientation of the satellite spin axis was successful, as was the experiment with infrared sensors. TIROS-II was launched on November, 23, 1960 and was operational for only 376 days.

nah.. hes done here even though he'd be a solid backup
Do you think Stephon will ever be back in the NBA? not that I personally want him back or really even care but do you think he will ever be on an NBA court playing in an NBA game ever again?
Stephon Marbury said he plans on making a return, in the 2010-2011 season. I'm sure a few teams would be willing to sign him to a one year deal, but he'll have to take the veteran's minimum. I doubt he would take the minimum, since he turned down Boston's offer, but who knows?
Welll.....skill wise there is no reason to think he would not be able to do it, but as we all know it goes far beyond that with him!
I cant see another Title contender like Boston taking him in....and I cant see him accepting a role off the bench with a losing team....but who knows China couldve humbled ol boy some.
I know NY/NJ are out of the question!
God Bless him in whatever.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
The NBA is all done with him even though he does have the skill to still play the game.
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
yeah I dont believe any one would spend any amount of money on him, just due to the fact of his history here. I say that in hind sight recognizing he does have alot of talent, but the NBA has gotten better, There are 15-20 pgs in the league with similar if not better talent, and better heads on his shoulder, so he isnt really in demand, with the lack of true low post big men, the PG position has become the main position in the NBA if you want to win, unless you have a kobe,lebron, or wade on your team.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid

Last week, I visited a local elementary school to read to kindergartners through second graders for the National Education Association's Read Across America campaign. It's the 5th year that I've been invited to read Dr. Seuss classics to kids. It is seriously one of the highlights of my year.
I read Gerald McBoing Boing (my personal favorite), Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?, and, of course, the ever-popular, Green Eggs and Ham.
I don't know what it is, but it seems that when I open up a Dr. Seuss book, I immediately become a child myself…and the children I'm reading to are transported to a magical world where non-sensical rhymes suddenly make sense…and imaginary characters come to life.
As I was reading to the kids, I wondered what it would have been like if Dr. Seuss had written some stories about children in poverty. What a great opportunity to teach kids today about the conditions that their counterparts in other parts of the world live in!
What would that look like? Perhaps:
I do not like that the Sneetch children cry
with empty star bellies that growl all night
I do not like that they can't drink
of water as clean as I have in my sink.
I don't like famine, disease and war
I wish they didn't exist anymore.
I don't like the heartache, come to think of it,
I do not like poverty,
not one little bit.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Dr. Seuss book if it just focused on the sad. No, indeed the Cat in the Hat turned dreary, rainy days into wonderful, happy, if not misguided, adventures. Maybe something like this:
Then all the Sneetch children would wipe away frowns
To laugh with each other on Flozzle playgrounds
They'd swing and they'd sing and they'd dance in a ring
'Tis the end of poverty–what a wonderful thing!
Unfortunately, we don't have such a book. Perhaps it's because poverty is far too real and dark to capture in whimsical rhyme.
But maybe, just maybe, we can all be a Dr. Seuss by rewriting the stories of real children in poverty. It's not that hard actually.
Sponsoring a child gives you the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty for a child. It gives them the chance to believe in a world where poverty comes to an end. And that is a wondrous thing indeed.

2k10 sounds like a great game, too bad I can't buy video games no more. Promised myself I would only play video games once I become a millionaire...plus they would cut into my cologne/clothing/party fund
the boys at 2k have done it again, and in the process have outdone themselves by making simply the BEST basketball simulation game EVER! any basketball fan HAS to buy this game, from the presentation which is the best ever, with the clearest picture and all the players act like themselves ( when i did a nasty throwdown with Lee, Robinson on the bench started going insane lmao ) to the nba today feature where they update all the real stats so the commentary is equal to that of real life bball, to the improved graphics and gameplay, i rate this game a flat 9-out-of-10 a must buy for basketball fans
whoever bought nba live just doesnt have an understanding of basketball im sorry loll get your 60 bucks back and get 2k10!
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
2k10 sounds like a great game, too bad I can't buy video games no more. Promised myself I would only play video games once I become a millionaire...plus they would cut into my cologne/clothing/party fund
that game is amazing though simply the best thing ever haha worth every penny of the 60 i paid
ohh and sly i found the best cologne ever and its almost my favorite beating out armani code. its the new givenchy play both are amazing but play intense is simply the best cologne EVER! girls are weak for it i got plenty of compliments and women asking what cologne that was...its a magnet
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
2K10 is great but the ratings of the players is rubbish.
Gallo is the worst player on the Knicks roster according to the game.
i think the ratings are on point. i hated the fact that 10 players had a 99 rating in nba 2k9 and another 30 had a 90 loll......to be a 90 overall you gotta be the best of the best
and gallos rating was due to the injury and limited playing time once he gets his minutes and produces in the update hes going to right back amongst the highest rated knicks
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
That`s a good point. The ratings don`t really count because Gallo is my starting small forward and he`s my top scorer in my association series.
hes nice its just on how you use the players like when i play i usually give Douglas a majority of the minutes and my offense and defense is more fluid when hes in the game. i dont see nothing wrong with the ratings its all in the player who controls them. with the updates these players ( namely Gallo, Chandler and Douglas will see rises in their ratings )
i really like my player mode as well its sick really hard to get your minutes and to make the roster as well
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
The Heat just offered me a trade of Micheal Beasley for Nate Robinson and a first round pick in 2010. I took it.
Do you think that was a good trade?
sounds like a good deal to me now just try to get rid of Harrington so you dont create a log jam at PF. and the deal is good cause of Douglas who could replace Nate as the 6th man
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I just traded Duhon for Rudy Fernandez of Portland.
If you`re looking for a great shooting guard for your Knicks team then I recommend Rudy, he is brilliant. He scored 42 for me in his first game.
Problem is that I shouldn`t have got Beasley because now it`s between him and Gallo for the starting SF.
i just started my association finally getting the time to play it haha......and i smacked the heat in the first game hopefully thats a preview
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
yea i created one after i bought the game but i didnt have the time to play it. but yea i wanna try and get through the season loll
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
The trouble with me is that when I am playing association if the real Knicks get a new player then I can`t help but start the season again so that I start with the Knicks real roster.
I haven`t managed to complete an 82 game season yet.

Industrial Engineering
I knew I wanted to be an engineer by the sixth grade. When junior year came and the college search began, my college counselor gave me a list of schools known for engineering where I could also continue playing bass in orchestra. Bradley was on that list. I wanted a school where I could play bass, but not necessarily have to major or minor in music. My visit to campus assured me that Bradley was the right fit and I decided to apply for a special grant program called STEM.
The day I found out I was a STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) scholar was the day I decided on Bradley. I was wandering around the mall when my admissions counselor called to tell me I'd been chosen. I probably made the biggest fool of myself dancing in the aisle while I was on the phone, but I was so excited to know I was coming to Bradley.
I moved in a week early along with the other 11 STEM scholars for a summer bridge program. Within our first three days on campus we were split into two teams and given two hours to build a robot. The challenge was to have the robot move a certain distance and deliver a golf ball to a precise spot on the floor marked with an X. We built our robot, Wally, out of Legos and programmed him in the computer lab. It took us three or four tries, but within the allotted time frame Wally transformed from a childhood toy to a master of precision!
The group projects helped us learn to work as a team, but also built great friendships between us. Those of us living in the dorms were put into a learning community where we all live right near each other. Anytime I need help, there's someone else close by to help me. Being a STEM scholar has not only provided me opportunities like my learning community, but also the opportunity to make some of my best friends here at school.

NEW YORK — A dealer-who-shall-not-be-named shot me an exasperated look when I tried to get her to open up about how the Metro Show was going. "This is a really boring show, I know."
This sort of frankness is a journalistic gold nugget, particularly during the first day of a small fair. Nevertheless, I think this dealer may have just been sitting on the wrong side of the room. The Metro Show, which emerged last year from the ashes of the American Folk Art Museum-run American Antiques Fair and runs at the Metropolitan Pavilion through the weekend, is an interesting mélange of Americana, antiques, folk art, outsider art, and contemporary work. It's a refreshing fair full of dealers who toil away in good years and bad, quite separate from the glitz and glamour of the Armory/Frieze/Art Basel parade of society events. This show, in other words, seems to be an art fair that is actually about art (and some crafts).
When the struggling Folk Art Museum turned over the AAS to the Chicago-based Art Fair Company in 2011 (which also runs SOFA in Chicago and New York, as well as the AADLA Spring Show), many of the dealers who had previously attended asked the new management to reinvent the show, according to fair director Caroline Kerrigan Lerch. The antiques show, the dealers said, was getting stale. The audience was dwindling, and those that still came were getting progressively older.
With a new name, fresh branding, and an influx of contemporary-leaning dealers like heavyweight Pace Prints, Chelsea's Luise Ross Gallery, and the Santa Fe-based Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, the fair has roped in a significant number of younger collectors, and has much more energy than any antiques show this writer has ever been to.
Pace Prints's collection of Shepard Fairey prints ($3,500 each) sat just across from Santa Fe's William Siegal Gallery's booth full of exquisite pre-Columbian textiles, including a checker textile from the Huari culture (modern-day Peru) dating from 500-850 A.D. for $350,000.
The dealers generally seemed happy with the new set-up. Brooklyn-based Americana and Native American art dealer Steven S. Powers had a good opening night, making two five-figure sales — James W. Washington's tiny "Bird Family" sculpture (1973) and Clark Fitz-Gerald's giant wood sculpture (a cutout of a large tree trunk), "Eye of the Needle" (1977). Even more interesting, perhaps, was the large bowl of die sitting in the corner of his booth. The dealer told ARTINFO he acquired more than 3,000 historic dice from a single (obsessive) collector, all of different sizes and made of different materials. He is selling the lot as a work called "Let the Dice Fall Where They May," for $14,500.
At M. Finkle and Daughter, a Philadelphia gallery specializing in historical embroidery, red dots were everywhere, seemingly signifying a great opening night (ARTINFO never got a word in with the dealer, as she was busy with collectors every time we passed). How much does embroidery go for these days? Most small samplers were $2,000-10,000, but there were a couple priced much higher.
On the art side, there was hardly a booth that didn't have a work or three by Bill Traylor, the self-taught Alabama artist, who was born into slavery and lived most of his Reconstruction-era life on a plantation. Carl Hammer Gallery in Chicago, Hill Gallery in Birmingham Michigan, and Chelsea-based Ricco/Maresca were all showing the artist's characteristically pared-down figures drawn on cardboard.
However, a lively crowd doesn't always translate into a successful fair — the point is still to make money. It seemed on Thursday morning that sales were mixed. Most galleries reported at least one sale from the opening night, but none were close to selling out. Many had sold two or three works. Many of the contemporary dealers, who ostensibly were recruited to spice up the fair, reported that much of the foot traffic came looking specifically for Americana or antiques.
But things might be looking up for the weekend. More than one dealer said 2013 was already more positive than the relatively dead 2012 for those on the lower end of the art world. "With people feeling a bit more positive, they are starting to collect again," noted Lerch.

I can now reveal that the Team Contest was... how should I say this... a failure. Only two people actually sent their entry in, and I can tell you that they were Omen and Legion, so yay for Team Star and Team Moon. Anyway, the winner out of the two was...
...Omen. His prize will be to receive 20 points, which will count towards his total score. As a consolation prize, and since he was the only other person who sent their diary entry in anyway, he will also receive 10 points.
And now, before the week finally comes to a close, here is the Interview. No, I haven't forgotten about this.
1. What do you think about your teammates this week?
2. What do you think of the new hosts? (please be honest)
3. Who do you think is your biggest threat?
4. Who do you think is your smallest threat?
5. Who is your favourite person out of all the contestants (excluding yourself)?
6. What do you think of the new features, for example the Roulette Challenge?
7. What do you think can be done to promote more RPing?
8. Why do you think Iris is being a jerk to everyone? Do you even think she's a jerk?
However, do note that one of the interviews, no matter which one, will be revealed to the public, and only one. PM me, obviously. You all have 24 hours.

Mayhap a more orthodox means mayst be used for Lady Gizmo. *throws Gizmo into the lake*
Yes Mug it did.
It put you into a sleep nothing could wake you from, it was the eternal abyss of nightmares and dreams. Where nothing could wake you up, and made you fall into a coffin of eternal sleep. It made your dreams icy and cold, as if you where dead instead of asleep. I've seen this only once before...

Mug, she's just exaggerating. I highly doubt Gizmo had any dark intentions here, and if you think she did, then you're an idiot.

I'm not exaggeration Iris, I know that the panda couldn't possible have grim intentions, but this kind of sleep is very dangerous!
*Sighs* At least water worked this time...
Lady Gizmo, dost thou thinkest thou couldst make another of that most wondrous device before I must return to Amaranth? Why, the uses of such a thing as a weapon are numerous, and it well may be that such a thing could save my army in a truly dark hour...

Brother rescues young sibling from fatal fire
Authorities and family members say a 13-year-old boy rescued his 4-year-old brother from a burning duplex in West Allis where another brother and a friend died in the fire.
The three brothers and the friend were in the upper apartment of the duplex when the fire started early Sunday. The 13-year-old and his 4-year-old brother made it out. The other two did not.
Pavielle Gonzales is a cousin of the three brothers and lives nearby. She says she saw flames coming from the duplex and went to the scene. Gonzales says her 13-year-old cousin, Joel Gonzales, tried to go back into the burning duplex to get the others after he rescued the 4-year-old, but the flames were too much.
The Journal Sentinel says the brothers who escaped the fire are recovering at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

About the laboratory for Neural Computation, Ageing, and Memory (NCAM)
Research in NCAM seeks to provide a more complete understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in cognition and enduring memory formation, with emphasis on how these mechanisms are compromised with advancing age.
While medical progress has made it possible for succeeding generations to live longer, discernible cognitive impairment (i.e., memory loss) will afflict a substantial proportion of the elderly, even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease. Thus, determining the nature and causes of this cognitive impairment has become a major challenge in the study of aging. While it was once thought that neuron loss was an inevitable consequence of aging, recent research has demonstrated that the number of neurons in components of the medial temporal lobe is comparable in young vs. aged mammals, including humans. Thus, the critical challenge is to uncover other, physiological factors that must cause cognitive impairment in aging.
Experimental approaches for these investigations include:
