The first thing to do is work some detergent into that stain. It can be liquid detergent or a pre-wash stain remover. Just make sure you work it!
After you do that, wash the jacket in the hottest water that particular fabric can handle. Rinse, and take a good look at the stain before you toss the jacket in the dryer. If it's not removed completely, repeat the treatment.
If you only have powdered detergent on hand, mix it with water to make a runny paste -- and work that into the stain.
No. 2: Blood stains
The Situation: Ric, in his 10,000th pro wrestling match, decides to cut his forehead again with a razor blade at a match in Nashville. It's called "wearing the crimson mask" in the business. But that blood gets everywhere. In this case, on his pristine blue wrestling robe -- which has to look good for tomorrow night's match in Memphis.
The Solution: Ric, who has been around the block a few thousand times, knows exactly what to do.
The second he gets back to the hotel, he grabs his robe and tosses it in cold water. Blood is a protein stain, which needs to be treated before the garment is washed. If you use hot water, that cooks the protein -- making the stain more difficult to remove.
In the pre-wash stage, apply liquid detergent into the stained area first. When you're done, then go ahead and wash it in warm water with detergent.
If the blood is still there, don't dry it. That'll just set the stain. Instead, soak it overnight (in cold water) and try washing the garment again in the morning.
No. 1: Oil-based paint
The Situation: Sal is covering a fence panel with green paint. Being 13 years old, he's not exactly careful. By the end of the exercise, his yellow shirt is spotted with emerald hues. His mother wants to wring his neck.
The Solution: It may seem impossible, but zapping an oil-based paint stain can be done. The key is speed. Once paint is dry, it cannot be removed.
While paint is wet, use turpentine or paint thinner to get it out as much as you can and then rinse. Next, you'll want to use a pre-wash stain remover to get more of it out -- and then you're ready to wash the garment.
For water-based (latex) paints, soak the shirt in warm water and heavy detergent before you ultimately throw it in the washing machine. Water-based paint is a lot easier to remove from clothes, but again, you have to move fast. If it dries, you're out of luck.

Before Inspector Morse, there was the rookie Constable Morse, fed up with police work and ready to nip his career in the bud by handing in his resignation. That is, until a murder turned up that only he could solve.Burgled gas meters, the sudden death of a pretty young secretarial student, and a string of post office robberies threaten to mask the solution to a pair of violent murders as DC Endeavour Morse and DI Thursday's newly forged relationship is tested to the breaking point.
Shaun Evans (The Take, The Last Weekend, Silk) stars as the solitary and cerebral young Inspector Morse, conducting his dogged, incorruptible pursuit of justice from the shadows of Oxford and the fringes of the police force. Roger Allum costars as Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, and Abigail Thaw, daughter of Inspector Morse star John Thaw, makes special guest appearances as Dorothea Frazil, in this new mystery written by Inspector Lewis creator and Inspector Morse writer, Russell Lewis.
Following on the success of the 2011 Endeavour pilot, Shaun Evans returns in four new episodes as the young Endeavour Morse—before his signature red Jaguar but with his deductive powers already running in high gear. Set in 1960s Oxford, Endeavour is written by Inspector Lewis creator and Inspector Morse writer Russell Lewis.
Acclaimed stage and screen actor Roger Allam (Parade's End, The Thick of It) is back as Morse's senior partner and mentor, Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, and Sean Rigby takes on the role of the young, competitive PC Strange, a character who appeared in the original Inspector Morse series. Shakespearean actor Anton Lesser (Little Dorrit) plays the imposing new Oxford Police Chief Superintendent Bright, and John Thaw's daughter Abigail Thaw returns in guest appearances as journalist Dorothea Frazil.

The king has started a website from his home in Maryland and seems to be buying into the idea he is royality. While he supports AIDS relief there is still no news on whether David plans to merge the isle with the United Kingdomor join the European Union or the United Nations. There is also no tax plans or international peace pushes. What is a king good for if not these issues?
All is not well on Man though. The Manx are loyal to their Lord, Elizabeth II. David plans to visit his "kingdom" next year; Catholicgauze hopes for an army of angry peasant to drive him off.
Catholicgauze's king is William IV.

A significant licensing bug has caused certain installs of CS6 software on Mac systems to begin prompting the Trial screen indicating that the software is no longer licensed but is now in Trial mode. Normally the trial period is for 30 days. But in this case, it states that the trial period is 32,767 days. Just a bit over 89 years. So imagine it is 2102. Your kids and grandkids have long since moved to Mars, but apparently you, the IT admin are still stuck on Earth dealing with the Adobe's CS6 licensing issues! I joke. Why? Because this is particularly egregious and has been very disruptive for many production environments, school labs, etc. And we have been particularly slow to respond to this issue. I am not saying this as self criticism but rather as a simple fact.
Do we have a fix? Let me jump to the chase (for once) and then explain the root of the cause and explain why our response to this has been sloth-like.
How to resolve the 32767 Days Left licensing issue:
1) Apply the Mac Photoshop 13.0.4 update patch
2) Use AAMEE 3.1 to create a serialization file
3) Run serialization file on affected systems
Details on #1: Photoshop 13.0.4 is available via the Mac version of AAMEE 3.1 in the Update workflow. It can also be applied manually if updates are enabled. The Remote Update Manager (RUM) is also available to apply the updates on the system. The specific command line for this would be:
RemoteUpdateManager –channelIds=AdobePhotoshopCS6-13.0
Details on #2 & #3: Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE) is the command line serialization tool that is included in the AAMEE 3.1 install. It is covered in detail on Chapter 9 of the Enterprise Deployment Guide.
Now, why did this happen and if it hasn't happened to you why not? The pattern we have seen appears to point at the Photoshop 13.0.2 and 13.0.3 updates as they had impacts to the licensing database. This update caused a synchronization call to the serial entry that would basically cause that entry to become unusable. Therefore the product that had been licensed would switch to becoming trial. Except of course a trial time period is 30 days and these installs would of been past 30 days so it displays that ridiculous 32,767 message.
We initially provided guidance on the Enterprise Deployment forum to use APTEE to un-serialize and then serialize and this resolved the issue for some folks. Same for the suggestion that came up to just use the serialization executable workflow in AAMEE 3.1. But, of course this wasn't a proper fix because the same synchronization call would occur and then break things. Again. Ugh.
So, what was needed was the Photoshop 13.0.4 update that came out this week to stop breaking things. Then use APTEE to un-serialize. Bam, clean slate. Then use APTEE to serialize. Why not use the serialization executable workflow in AAMEE 3.1? Good question. The guidance from our Engineering Director I got was to stick with the APTEE step of un-serialization. Easier/cleaner to write to a file/entry that wasn't there vs. one that is and might have been corrupt. Makes sense.
Why weren't we able to diagnose and provide better guidance in a proper manner is two-fold. We are dealing with licensing that is time and actual product usage based. One would be unable to take the exact same AAMEE produced package with the same volume serial number and reproduce the issue after an install. Trust me, we tried. No, the licensing mechanism we have created is now like a ninja. One that we trained. Then we told it to go out in the woods at night and not be seen by us. Then we had to go out there in the woods to find him. Guess what? Totally hard. I am not sure if that metaphor works but I really like the imagery of a ninja hiding in the woods laughing (silently of course) at me.
In addition we did not want to announce a fix widespread until we had actual validation from customers that this was working. Once again, not a fix that they could validate instantly with any confidence that it had "stuck."
We have learned a lot from this whole thing and need to do a lot internally to make sure this doesn't happen with another product update…ever! In the meantime, you are owed an apology for the impact this had on your organizations. We understand that these types of issues are not simply things that make Adobe look back, but if you are an IT admin who manages a lab and the lab stops working the precipitation is that it is your fault. I know this first hand. Many moons ago I managed labs at a college and then when I first came to Adobe ten years ago I maintained Adobe's training classrooms. I know what it is like to see a classroom of frustrated students and worse an angry instructor rolling their eyes at me or even yelling at me. Not pretty.
I also want to thank the members of the IT community that helped on this by reaching out to us with detailed info of the issue, providing logs, helping us test and validate, etc. Special shout out to the Enterprise Deployment forum posts. This forum has a large visibility internally and issues that get many reports here turn into data that is seen by our executives on a real-time basis. I also want to thank those who reported the scale of the impact to your Adobe Account Executive or your Channel Reseller partner. It is important that you be heard through all these outlets and that we understand the inconvenience and pain this has caused you and your organization.
Jody Rodgers | Sr. Product Manager | Enterprise + Volume | Digital Media | Adobe Systems
Update 1: Please note that if you have systems that have not seen these issues then our recommendation is to simply make sure that you update the Photoshop 13.0.4. No need to unserialize and re-serialize if the PS 13.0.2 or 13.0.3 updates were not on the system. If you have an AAMEE 3.1 package with the PS 13.0.2 or 13.0.3 in it be sure to update the package to include 13.0.4.
Update 2: This entry was changed to clarify that that 13.0.4 is for Mac systems only.
Update 3: For clarity instructions to resolve have been updated. No longer require un-serialize & reserialize. AAMEE 3.1 serialization file takes care of both.

- Title
- Same bodies, different skin: Ruth Heathcock
- Author(s)
- Hughes, Karen
- Abstract
- Ruth Heathcock (nee Rayney) was a South Australian nurse who worked with Aboriginal people suffering from leprosy in the Roper River and Gulf Country of the Northern Territory from 1930 to 1942. In treating their leprosy, she enabled her patients to continue living in their country and escape incarceration, which was usually for life, on the Channel Island lazaret off the coast of Darwin. Ruth demonstrated that she respected Aboriginal law above the recently imposed minority white laws that had resulted from colonisation, in spite of the fact that her husband was an official enforcer of those laws. A Northern Territory mounted constable, he was invested, as were all policemen in the Territory after 1920, with the power of Aboriginal 'protector'. Ted Heathcock, however, was won over by Ruth and turned what she referred to as a 'blind eye' to the work she practised for over a decade while he was absent on patrols for up to six months at a time. Eventually Ruth and Ted campaigned for a repeal of the Northern Territory Administration's Ordinance for the Suppression of Leprosy 1928, under which 'leprosy suspects' were detained. Ruth was well known as a skillful and courageous nurse and was awarded an MBE in 1951 for her bravery and initiative in the attempted rescue at Manangoora of wounded bushman Horace Foster. This involved travelling for more than 180 kilometres during the height of the monsoon season, through flooded rivers and the open sea, in a dugout canoe with four others. She used the occasion, however, to make known the seminal role of Aboriginal people in the rescue 'without whom,' she maintained, 'I couldn't even have existed.' This essay focuses on Ruth Heathcock's work with leprosy during her period in Arnhem Land, and the critical role of Aboriginal women domestic workers in shaping the philosophy behind her professional activism. Her work was profoundly influenced by her lived experiences, including her socialisation as a child in the first two decades of the 20th century in the lower Murray region of South Australia. In her personal writings and interactions with non-Indigenous people, Ruth advanced the idea of Aboriginal women's autonomy, expert knowledges and ritual career status, which at the time were given little credence in either the popular imagination or the anthropological arena. Her participation in Aboriginal women's complex religious and spiritual life during her time at Roper River encouraged Ruth's later exploration of alternative areas of spirituality. Much in Ruth's story has remained silent in all these years because of the clandestine nature of her work. Vic Hall's 1968 biography, Sister Ruth, limited by romanticism and the novelistic genre, suggests the need for a fresh exploration of this narrative in the light of current debates surrounding gender and cross-cultural friendships, and black-white relations from the 1930s to the early 1940s. Rich source material exists within the oral traditions of presentday Roper River community historians based at Ngukurr. Ruth Heathcock's presence continues to be memorialised there and her narrative is understood as an important historical signifier of crosscultural relations that were outstandingly different to the dominant. Research for this chapter has evolved from new material recorded with the descendants of the house workers and other Indigenous historians within the Ngukurr, Numbulwar and Borroloola communities; from government records and archival sources; and from extensive conversations I had with Ruth Heathcock in Adelaide during the 1980s.

Amanda Seyfried Gossip
Amanda Seyfried gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Social Media, Wednesday May 13, 2015
FameFlynet, Felipe Ramales/ Splash News
Ted 2 exists
Seth MacFarlane is such an up-and-down guy. Family Guy, not so great, but American Dad is consistently funny. Ted was surprisingly funny in 2012, but last year's A Million Ways to Die in the West was bereft of humor, wit, and/or charm. He's a douche in real life, but he can be entertaining on stage (not at the Oscars, though). Full Story
Mark Wahlberg & Amanda Seyfried
Wenn, FameFlynet, Keystone
Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried were filmed kissing on the set of Ted 2 today. Emily, our site coordinator, sent me these photos in an email with the title "This creeps me out". It's true. I don't want to see them kissing. It's not that I don't want to see them kissing anyone. Full Story
Amanda Seyfried: getting credit?
Wenn, FameFlynet, Anthony Harvey/ Getty
Sarah has a nickname for Amanda Seyfried that she uses on this site: oatmeal. I can understand why. But today I actually spent some timing thinking about Amanda Seyfried, her career. And you know what? Her choices don't really suck. If they do ever suck, she doesn't have to wear it. Like, we don't blame her for The Big Wedding. Full Story
Lovelace and This Hot Bitch
Wenn, FameFlynet
So here's what Lindsay Lohan will be watching obsessively, if she hasn't already, when she gets out of rehab… You'll recall, Lohan was supposed to play Linda Lovelace in a movie called Inferno. She even had all her makeup done for a photoshoot in advance because that's all it takes – a wig and some eyeliner. Full Story
MET Cavalli but not Cavalli: Amanda Seyfried
Dimitrios Kambouris/ TIMOTHY A. CLARY/ Getty
Duana and I disagree on Amanda Seyfried, the new face of Givenchy, in Givenchy. She's into it. I thought it was Cavalli. This is how they parade onto yachts in Cannes, the Euro escorts looking for a Russian billionaire. Proof? The back. What do you call it when there's a small triangle for your bush that's an excuse for a bikini? This is what's happening when Seyfried turns around. Full Story
Remembering Lilly Kane
Amanda Seyfried covers the new issue of Allure and most of the headlines are about her breasts because she talks about how they're not as big as they used to be: She once referred to her breasts in an interview as "sacks of fat," a description that she now reconsiders. Full Story
Worst Oscar Space Case: Amanda Seyfried
BROWN /KLAMAR /Merritt /Harrison /Djansezian /Buckner /Winter /Getty Images
Amanda Seyfried actually kind of makes me laugh at the best of times, and though I thought the Jimmy Kimmel piece was really overdone, I did like the part where she broke it down dancing in Cosette's clothes. She's harmless, she's entertaining at times, she's pretty cute. My issue with Amanda at this point is mostly that I wish she cared about herself a bit more. Full Story
Worst Globes Hair: Kate Hudson and Amanda Seyfried
Kevin Winter/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
My dear women of Hollywood, You may find yourselves surprised to be getting this award, for each of you has long, beautiful flowing tresses that you're known for. You may find me harsh in saying that you made a mistake with your hair, when you have long golden locks, and I have long struggling locks with a bump where I didn't dry the crown completely enough. Full Story
Mega Envy Face
Jason Merritt/ AFP/ Getty Images
How many times did Jennifer Lawrence win last night? A lot. I can't find the clip but did you see Amanda Seyfried's face when Lawrence was called up for Best Actress in Silver Linings Playbook? She was only shot in profile in the background but on Video Assumption I'd call it Mega Envy. Full Story
Les Miserables: an underdog?
LEON NEAL/ Stuart Wilson/ Getty
The new issue of The Hollywood Reporter features Les Miserables -- its film history, the journey of this particular iteration under the direction of Tom Hooper, the production, and the cast. The story that's told, at least at the beginning of the article, Nate Silver reference notwithstanding, is that this was always a risk. Full Story

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: July 17
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Venture capital's return. It's not quite the dot-com bubble, but venture capital investing and deal-making is nearing levels not seen since 2001, according to Crain's New York Business .
Funding nationwide spiked 37% to $8.1 billion in the second quarter versus the first three months of the year, and increased 5% compared to the second quarter of 2011, says Crain's, citing CB Insights' 2012 Venture Capital Activity Report . The report said that 812 companies received funding, up 4% from a year earlier.
CB Insights tracks deals in a range of categories, including internet, mobile & telecommunications, healthcare and green technology.
The report also breaks down deals completed by state. With a 10% share of second quarter deals, New York continued to hold the No. 2 spot in venture capital deal volume behind California, which had a 45% share of the deals.
New York attracted the third-highest level of venture funding among states, as measured by total dollars invested, behind companies in Massachusetts and California.
2. Reasons why businesses fail. Under30CEO has a very entertaining article on the untold reasons why businesses don't succeed. For starters, many times business owners don't even recognize the reasons that caused failure. They assume the reasons are inadequate funding or bad location or underestimating their competitors, but what if it was something less obvious?
For instance, maybe they are focusing too much on short-term profits rather than building long-term value for the company. Or maybe the reason the business was started in the first place was to boost the owner's ego rather than filling a market demand.
Maybe the owner ignored bad customer feedback or maybe the owner received untruthful advice about the business from friends and family who don't want to share bad news. Or maybe "the owner is just a jerk," the article says.
"A jerk, in this case, is someone who a lot of people can't get along with. Maybe it's because they're a super-perfectionist, or they yell a lot, or they demand that everything be done in a certain way, or they constantly complain. Or maybe they're annoying in some other way. The key is that nobody -- not employees, customers, partners, suppliers, clients, etc. -- wants to give 100% for a jerk."
3. Cure the summertime business blues. For businesses that don't rely on summer-season demand, the weeks between Memorial Day and Labor Day can be a difficult time of the year to generate business. But of course there are options to increase customer appeal, even during the dog days of summer. Here are three options from Micro Business Perspectives .
Try hosting an event "honoring" customers, anything from a picnic to an ice cream social. Apparently, free food always draws a crowd and if you have a physical location, hosting the event on your premises will be an easy reminder to customers of your products and services. Even if you don't have a storefront, hosting an event can make an impact, the article says.

Inclusive Adolescence Education
The inclusive adolescence education major will prepare you as a highly capable, ethically responsible teacher with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach all students effectively.
Dual Certification in Adolescence and Special Education
We believe all teachers should be equipped to teach all students, so as an undergraduate education candidate, you will work toward dual certification in general education and special education.
The inclusive adolescence education program results in certification in Adolescence Education (grades 7–12) in a chosen content area with Middle School Extension (grades 5–6) and Students with Disabilities (grades 7–12) Generalist. (A generalist is certified for employment as a supporting teacher for students with disabilities in content areas other than the your major area of study.)
Dual Major Advantage
As an inclusive adolescence education major, you will earn a Bachelor of Science in Inclusive Education and you will also complete a second major in one of the following content areas:
- American Studies
- Biology
- Chemistry
- English
- French
- History
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Spanish
Our dual major requirement means that you will earn a content-area major that is identical to the content major of a non-education student. In other words, if you major in inclusive adolescence education and English, you will graduate with the same English major that non-education majors earn, leaving your career choices wide open.
Fisher's Educational Experience
The programs of the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education were designed from the outset to be content-rich, clinically-grounded, and intentionally reflective.
In other words, you will learn more than just "how" to teach. You will learn the "what" that you are going to teach. Much of your learning will take place in actual K-12 school settings, working with children and young people throughout the program to hone your teaching skills. You will also have many opportunities to explore connections between your coursework, your field experiences, and your development as a teacher.
Additionally, as early as your first semester of freshman year, you'll have access to a dedicated education candidate advisor who can help you create a long-term plan to meet all your major and degree requirements.
Program Requirements for Inclusive Adolescence Education
The Undergraduate Catalog contains the most current Inclusive Adolescence Education Program Requirements.

"Friday night was a game of missed opportunities. We had chances early in the first half to make the game close and maybe put some pressure on Port Lavaca," said Trojan head coach Troy Moses.
"To be able to beat a good team, you can't let those chances slip by."
The Trojans were inside the Sandcrab's 5-yard line on two occasions in the first half but came away with zero points. The hosts' defense was too strong and kept the Trojans out of the end zone for all of the first half.
Calhoun scored on its first three possessions in the first half to jump out to a 20-0 advantage. Sandcrab running back Devian Cantu provided the home team with two first half TD runs and then went the distance on the second half kickoff to put the Sandcrabs out front 26-0 before the fans could get back to their seats from the concession stands after halftime. The return covered 94 yards.
The Sandcrabs got two more TDs in the third quarter to pull away from the Beeville boys. The only Trojan score came on a drive that started late in the third period at their 32-yard line. Several plays later, Ernest Suniga barged through the Calhoun defense from six yards out for the touchdown. Marcos Ulloa hit the left upright on his PAT try. A stiff 30-40 mph wind out of the north made kicking almost impossible unless it was going south.
"Port Lavaca is a top 10 team in the state and is very deserving of that. I was extremely proud of the way our kids played," Moses said.
"We gave great effort, and we competed with one of the best teams in the state."
The Sandcrabs stayed on the ground all night and amassed 415 yards on 31 carries. Cantu finished with 116 yards on just four carries, and Sandcrab QB Hunter Boerm went 139 yards on eight attempts.
The Trojans ran the ball 51 times for 225 yards and QB Cameron Kremers and Tanner Treviño combined for another 65 yards in passing. Kremers was good on three of 12 throws, while Trevino hooked up with Joe Rey Garza on a halfback pass that covered 31 yards that put the Trojans down deep in Sandcrab territory in the first half.
Suniga finished with a team-high 54 yards on 12 carries. Roger Salazar finished with five rushes for 48 yards. Steven Garcia was the workhorse of the Beeville running game with 13 carries and 43 yards. Conrad Ruiz busted loose for 33 yards on eight attempts. Tristan Pelitire added seven runs for 24 yards. Brandon Nelson went 16 yards on four carries.
The four completions through the air went to four different receivers. Garza made one catch for 31 yards to lead the receivers. Treviño hauled in one tough catch for 16 yards and a first down deep in Sandcrab territory. Garcia made one catch for 12 yards, and tight end Hunter Hardy hauled in the other catch, for six yards.
With the loss, the Trojans sport an 0-4 record in district play and are 2-6 overall. Beeville hosts Calallen on Friday and then will wrap up the season on Nov. 9 with a trip to meet the Tuloso-Midway Warriors.
"Calallen will be another chance for our kids to compete with a top team in the state. Calallen's strength is their defense," Moses said.
"They play really good defense, and we will have to be at the top of our game. But at this point in our season, it's not about what our opponents are going to do, it's about us. And, to this point, our kids are responding well to each challenge."

Conrad Turner '81 on the Descartes Letter and the Value of an Inspiring EducationTuesday, July 27th, 2010
In 1979, a junior history major at Haverford named Conrad Turner, chose as the subject of a research paper a letter from Special Collections by philosopher René Descartes from 1641. Turner's paper was written for the Junior Seminar in Historical Evidence (History 361), a ground-breaking program begun in 1969 in order to inject the study of material culture and the use of primary sources into the undergraduate history curriculum. In one assignment, students selected an unidentified object and were asked to determine the object's identity, provenance, use, and social context. In another assignment students selected a document from Special Collections, and were assigned to prepare a transcription and in-depth analysis of its content.
Over thirty years later, the Descartes letter was discovered to be unknown to the scholarly world and—even more surprising—to have been stolen from a French library in the mid-nineteenth century. This exciting news was widely reported in the media in early 2010. On June 8, in a ceremony held in Paris, France, Haverford returned the letter to its rightful owner, the Institut de France. At the reception that followed, Conrad Turner '81—the alum who wrote the paper on the Descartes letter—gave this moving speech about working with the Descartes document, Haverford's decision to return the letter, and the potential for education to inspire and engender integrity.
Steve Emerson, Mr. Anderies, Members of the Board, Scholars, Distinguished 'Fords and guests: while Rene Descartes, Count Libri and "father of the Internet" Vinton Cerf have made today's ceremony possible, we have come here because we have a spiritual connection to Haverford, and also of course because many of us happen to live in Europe. It says something about Haverford that a 370-year-old letter is the reason for my trip from Belgrade to Paris, allowing me to visit my senior year roommate Mark Sadoff and his wife Sheila. I have been on the wrong side of the Atlantic and in some cases deep in the Eurasian continent for every reunion for most of the last 23 years, so being part of this one is special for me, and being invited to say a few words is a real honor.
The Turner paper, as it has come to be known, is a footnote in the story of the Descartes letter. But as someone who, as Chris Mills put it, "spent some quality time cuddled up with that document back during the Carter administration," I'm happy to share some thoughts on what this letter, and its return to l'Institut de France, symbolize. It has to do with the obligation universities have to educate not only their students, but also society at large.
Real education inspires. For too many of the world's undergraduates, the reality is different. Information is force-fed into the brain, causing a brief rearranging of a few neural networks before being swept off to make room for the next brutal infusion of facts. What remains is a grade on a transcript. Inspiration, on the other hand, turns the brain into a magnet not just for facts but reason, purpose and values. That is what makes the difference between a good college and a great one.
The other day I spoke to Serbian university students about Diversity in the United States. Students there complain that professors lecture at them while keeping a studied distance. They've learned to expect worse from foreign diplomats, so I love to smash those stereotypes: as I addressed those students I paced the room, stepping forward and back, gesturing, asking open-ended questions, encouraging a lively give-and-take… In other words, I worked hard to inspire them.
Some of you will recognize a style mastered by Professor Emeritus Roger Lane. I sat quietly during his year-long American History course, but that didn't prevent me from admiring, and one day imitating, his inspirational teaching style. It just seemed like the right way to do it. (I don't mean to contradict myself, and please don't tell Roger, but that's the only thing I remember from his class.)
As a student then I thought it bizarre that some people could get worked up over the Honor Code. What was the big deal? Yet 21 years later I was on the lecture circuit, addressing thousands of students at a dozen universities in Kyrgyzstan on the subject of academic integrity, helping them write honor codes, and leading seminars using abstracts provided by Haverford's Honor Council. Concepts that seemed pretty mundane to me as a student turned out to be excellent tools for helping universities, through their students, to come to terms with problems that threatened their country's development.
And then there's the Descartes letter, which over a few weeks forced a sleepless young man to think of the great philosopher and mathematician as a real human being.
It's not unusual for a student to see the extraordinary as ordinary, as I did the Honor Code, Roger Lane, and even exclusive access to an original letter penned three centuries ago by one of mankind's greatest thinkers. And really, isn't that a goal of education? We should enter the workforce taking for granted that inspiration and integrity are the ideals we're supposed to strive for. Embracing these values is what grounds us throughout our careers, as we engage in the struggle between our desire to hold to the values of our profession, and our need to navigate the politics governing that profession.
This struggle is evident in the letter itself, which if you read between the lines is really a scene from a political drama. Descartes' challenge was to be true to scientific values while avoiding offending the religious figures who could have been his undoing. It wasn't easy, and makes you wonder where he got his inspiration and integrity.
My stories from Haverford days are only a small part of the picture, and I'm sure many of you have similar ones. But colleges have a responsibility to educate that transcends even their duty toward their students. Returning the Descartes letter to its owner should be an obvious step. We might even take it for granted. Others do not. A close colleague of mine, whose opinions I respect, was incredulous when I shared the news. "Why give it away? Who cares how it got there, it's Haverford's now." I understand this point of view. Many people would agree, maybe a majority. It was stolen a long, long time ago, and stuff happens.
But stuff doesn't just happen. We make it so, as individuals and as institutions. Seen in another way, Haverford's power to confer a prestigious degree carries certain rights and privileges, as well as obligations. Just as I was allowed 31 years ago to connect with history by staring at original ink marks, a great college must be aware of its historical role, and through its actions improve on history by taking a public stand on behalf of integrity. In this case, Haverford's obligation – to educate us by inspiring us – was simply to do the right thing and return the letter to its home, giving up any perceived benefit the college might have had by clinging to it.
And your decision has inspired us, the news rippling through academic networks worldwide in multiple languages, all the way to my daughter's high school in Belgrade, where the librarian, on learning my humble connection to the story, gaped at me as if I were a rock star and said, "That was you???"

Passing and climbing lanes provide additional lanes for vehicles to safely pass other vehicles while maintaining speeds. Implementing passing and climbing lane projects provides traffic operational and safety benefits at a cost that is far less than fully widening a highway. In an effort to enhance safety and mobility on Arizona's roadways, the Arizona Department of Transportation is currently updating the 2003 Passing and Climbing Lanes Prioritization Study. This update intends to further refine the identification and prioritization methodology previously utilized and to develop a prioritized list of candidate locations that would provide the most benefit to the traveling public.
The Complete Transportation Guidebook is a reference for integrating sustainable transportation practices into transportation planning, scoping, and design throughout ADOT's project development process. The Guidebook provides strategies and techniques for identifying transportation choices that connect communities and enhance economic opportunity while maximizing the efficiency of limited resources.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is
conducting nine Corridor Profile Studies. The first three studies encompass the
entire length of I-17, I-19 and I-40 from the California border to I-17. The
studies under this program will provide a strategic vision for assessing the
overall health of the state's primary highways, assisting the agency with
transitioning to a performance-based project programming system through
targeted investments.
The goal of the Airport Master Plan is to provide the framework needed to guide future airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand, while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic issues.
The study includes detailed corridor planning of a possible high-priority interstate link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, and high-level visioning for potentially extending the corridor north to Canada and south to Mexico.
Planning to Programming Link development started with ADOT's multimodal visioning called "Building a Quality Arizona" (bqAZ), the 2010 Statewide Transportation Planning Framework Study that created a fiscally unconstrained vision for the state's transportation system in 2050. bqAZ led to "What Moves You Arizona?," the state's Long-Range Transportation Plan 2010-2035, which applied financial constraint to the vision, identifying anticipated revenues and providing a recommended investment choice (RIC) that indicates how revenues will be allocated to four different investment types: preservation, expansion, modernization and nonhighway. The third step, and subject of this report, is "Linking the Long-Range Plan and Capital Improvement Program," or P2P Link, which focuses on how ADOT and its primary business partners, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Councils of Governments (COGs), fund, build, maintain and operate the transportation system.
A highway study in Pinal County that would improve regional connectivity, provide an additional way of getting around a growing area of the Sun Corridor, and address current and future transportation needs in a growing area is moving forward under a new environmental review process. The project scope also incorporates the extension of State Route 24 from Ironwood Drive to the North South Corridor.
The Arizona State Rail Plan (SRP) is the first comprehensive assessment of the state's rail needs. The SRP serves to identify the current rail system, to determine infrastructure needs and to have rail projects included in the state's long-range planning processes to improve regional and statewide safety mobility.
The Planning Assistance for Rural Areas (PARA) program provides federal funds to assist tribal governments and counties, cities and towns outside Transportation Management Area (TMA) planning boundaries with multimodal transportation planning needs.
The Transportation and Trade Corridor Alliance (TTCA) is focused on creating better jobs and higher household incomes by growing value-added industries that bring new money to Arizona. To achieve this mission, Arizona requires modern and efficient infrastructure to ensure effective connectivity to both domestic and global markets. This Roadmap provides strategic direction for the state of Arizona to maximize opportunities for trade development.
Please download the template data and submit the completed attributes table for each project recommended from the planning study to the ADOT MPD Project Manager upon completion of the planning study. A data dictionary of the GIS data is included so users can understand what the fields represent. Please download a new copy of the template for each study as the template may be updated. If you have any questions please contact James Meyer of the GIS group at 602.712.8037.
Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ADOT does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex or disability. Persons that require a reasonable accommodation based on language or disability should contact ADOT's Civil Rights Office at 602.712.8946 or at [email protected]. Requests should be made as early as possible to ensure the State has an opportunity to address the accommodation.
De acuerdo con el título VI de la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964 y la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA por sus siglas en inglés), el Departamento de Transporte de Arizona (ADOT por sus siglas en inglés) no discrimina por raza, color, nacionalidad, edad, género o discapacidad. Personas que requieren asistencia (dentro de lo razonable) ya sea por el idioma o por discapacidad deben ponerse en contacto con la Oficina de Derechos Civiles al 602.712.8946 o en [email protected]. Las solicitudes deben hacerse lo más pronto posible para asegurar que el equipo encargado del proyecto tenga la oportunidad de hacer los arreglos necesarios.

He was, in a word, adored.
We know Travers as a founder and the first President of the Saratoga Racing Association, and the namesake for the single longest actively running sporting event in America - The Travers Stakes.
We know him as the owner of Hall of Famer Kentucky, that race's first winner.
We know him as a brilliant financier on Wall Street.
But what you may not know, in spite of his wealth and success, Travers was arguably better known for his wit, charm and self-deprecating way.
A New York Times article published two years before his death noted his "wit never screens malice but it frequently stings, being at times near the truth." In his obituary, it added "his defect of speech, which is well known, added to the effectiveness of his utterances."
The former piece, published March 15, 1885, applauded Travers apologetic humor. One could easily get the impression it made him more approachable and more endearing.
In short, Travers wasn't just another stuffed shirt with money. Travers was a funny guy ... and he could take a hit too.
Take, for example, the story of him running into an old Baltimore acquaintance while walking on a street in New York City.
"Why, Bill, you stutter worse now than when you were in Baltimore," his friend said.
"H-h-have to," answered Mr. Travers. "B-b-bigger city."
One day Travers saw John Morrissey, the man who built Saratoga Race Course, standing by a horse. Morrissey fancied himself the type who could spot equine talent however his results on the track begged a different argument.
"W-w-what have you g-got there, John" he asked.
"A race horse" he replied with an air of satisfaction.
"A race horse!" Travers exclaimed.
"Yes, Sir, a race horse. Are you going to bet on him?"
"Yes, I'll b-bet on him," Travers replied decidedly.
"How?" Morrissey asked, somewhat in doubt.
"I'll c-c-copper him.
One can only imagine the look on Morrissey's face, mouth gaping and stunned at Travers shot across the bow.
Then there was the time he traveled to Brooklyn for the wedding of a friend's daughter who lived on Montague Street. Travers apparently took a wrong turn somewhere in his travels and got lost. He stopped a gentleman and asked for directions.
"I desire to reach M-m-montague Street," he said to a passerby. "W-will you be k-kind enough to p-point the w-way?"
"You are g-going the wr-wrong w-way," he stuttered in his reply. "That is M-montague Street."
"Are you m-making fun of m-me, m-mimicking me?" Travers asked sternly.
"N-no, I assure you" the man replied, with all due haste to repair an apparent lack of good manners. "I-I am b-badly af-flicted with an ob-stru-struction of speech."
"Why d-don't you g-get c-cured?" Travers asked with mischief in his eyes. "G-go to Dr. --- and g-get c-cured. D-don't you see how w-well I talk? He c-cured m-me."
Poor fella. Probably had no idea what to make of him.
Enter Henry Clews, a banker who often boasted he is a self-made man. Travers overheard him speak of this and fixed his eyes on Clews bald crown in a sort of daydream like state.
"Well, what's the matter, Travers?" he asked somewhat impatiently.
"H-henry," Travers inquired "d-didn't you say you we-were a self m-made m-an?"
"Certainly, I made myself" Clews replied warmly.
"Then, w-when you were ab-b-about it, w-why didn't you p-put m-more h-h-hair on the t-top of your h-head?"
Insert a well time DOH here.
Travers had been approached by Clews as he sought advice for the famous Vanderbilt ball; an affair of full costume dress. Travers suggested:
Travers, clearly, was not your run of the mill, well bred snooty sort. Remember, he was quite capable of being on the other end of the jibe."Clews, w-why d-don't you s-s-sugar coat your h-head and go as a p-pill?"
He was walking along the street with a bunch of brokers in tow. He spots a man in front of St. Paul's church selling parrots.
"H-hold on b-boys," Travers said mysteriously. "W-we'll have some f-fun."
Hailing the parrot seller and indicating one of the birds Travers asked "Can that p-parrot t-talk?"
"Talk?" the man replied with a contemptuous sneer. "If he can't talk better than you I'll wring his blasted neck!"
"C-come on, b-boys," Travers called out; "th-this f-fun is p-post-p-poned until another day."
Naturally it is only fitting that the last of Travers' anecdotes shared here deal with a gambler in the Spa City.
A plunger named Walton was introduced to Travers at The Spa in the midst of his best two years playing the horses. He suggested that he and the financier do business together. Walton told him of how he has earned over $350,000 these past two years, and with Travers being a whiz in the stock market he thought they could share a couple of points to help each other out, and add to their fortunes.
"You m-made three hu-hundred and fifty th-thousand on h-horse racing?" Travers repeated.
"Yes, sir. $350,000 in two years," Walton said again.
"And you want m-me to g-give you a p-point on st-stocks?" Travers continued.
"Yes, if you please. In return for my points on horses," Walton said.
"Well, I'll g-give you a first r-rate p-point," Travers said. "You m-made three hu-hundred and fifty th-thousand d-dollars in t-two years. Then st-stick to your b-business. Th-that's a f-first r-rate p-point."
Travers made a fortune on Wall Street. He was one of the founders of Saratoga Race Course and it's first President. He was a long-time President of the New York Athletic Club, a member of 27 private clubs, a backer of Sheepshead Bay Racetrack on Coney Island and he made up one-third of Annieswood Stable, racing champions such as Kentucky and Alarm.
All this barely scraped the surface of what he accomplished.
But above it all, above his fortunes, keen financial acumen, racing accomplishments, all those club memberships and elite status, William R. Travers was best known for his good nature and wit.
Ain't a bad way to go out, is it?

Search process under scrutinyJune 25,2014As the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union concludes the superintendent search process, we surveyed the search and interview committee members in order to debrief the process and be prepared to make changes for future high-profile searches in our community. We appreciate the hours of work the committee members accomplished to seek qualified candidates, review 22 applications, interview four candidates for consideration, conduct over 60 reference checks on the chosen finalist and listen to community feedback prior to making a decision. The desire of the committees to be transparent and inclusive is evident in the results of the survey, as well as their actions.
The survey was completed by 24 members and helped to identify strengths of the process and suggestions for change. Strengths of the process outlined above included adequate and broad representation on the committees and an adequate timeline for the search process. Also, site visits and reference checks were noted as strengths, with reference checks described as over the top, in a positive way.
Suggestions for change focused on transparency and communication. Recommendations included informing the public in weekly updates which include the full process and progress along the way within legal capacity; explaining up front the limitations of open meeting laws and reference checks and what can be shared publicly; and having a clerk support the work of the chair and the committees due to the intensity of the search process.
The RNESU board appreciates the work that was done on this search and the feedback that was received. Suggestions and recommendations will be incorporated into future high profile searches. The board also is considering a session on open meeting laws this summer to help ensure that it is not only followed by the board but understood by the community.

After Columbus celebrates the end of the world Friday night, music venues large and small turn to celebrating the holidays on Saturday — you know, assuming the world still exists. Presumably, the relief of doomsday avoidance will make the proceedings especially festive.
Probably the most traditionally Christmas-y event among Saturday's glut is Mannheim Steamroller's appearance at the Palace Theatre. Eleven months out of the year this band is unlistenable, but from Thanksgiving until New Year's Eve pressing play on a Mannheim Christmas album is like stepping inside a synthetic winter wonderland, one where virtuosic keyboard trills fall from the sky instead of snow.
Speaking of the intersection between music technology and powdery white substances, Future will also be in town Saturday to headline Power 107.5's Jingle Jam at LC Pavilion. Although it's questionable whether this show will be holiday-themed in anything but name, it's also unlikely anybody should care. The breakout Atlanta rapper already graced Columbus once this year, so getting a second crack at him should be viewed as a gift. His album Pluto is a genuine trailblazer, a heavy-hearted thug spilling his guts through breathless robo-blather.
An entirely different sort of hip-hop show — that is, a chilled-out, organic one — is happening at Brothers Drake Meadery. This Hip Hop Holiday is presented by the jazzy rap collective This Hip Hop Project, Eric Rollin of LES Crew, Stretch Lefty and Evan Oberla Project (EOP). DJ Redsun will spin, and Steve Finley will do live art.
Also on a jazzy note, another EOP associate, drum genius Justin Campbell (also of Descendre), is throwing an "X-mas Jam" at New Harvest Café and Urban Arts Center in Upper Arlington. Campbell promises "good music guaranteed," and given his prodigious talent, he'll almost certainly follow through on that.
Lastly, for those who live life on life's twangy edge, Rumba Café will host a holiday bluegrass night courtesy of Spikedriver Steven Fox's combo Fox N Hounds.

Well done on everything inc. weaning off the shield.
'drunken milk look' sounds perfect!
15-20 minutes is almost certainly sufficient if she's pulling off herself with that look!
As for the waking up to burp - some breastfed babies need very little burping or even none. (another good reason to stick with boob)
I wouldn't wake her up if she's sleeping contently and has fed well. If she's turning away from second breast she sounds done.
As to whether she's getting enough - check out wet nappies (around 6 in 24 hours), wet eyes, at least 3 poos a day (but that can change around 6 weeks and it can really slow down which is fine). If they're happy with weight gain though I think you can assume she is.
It all sounds great!

The wonderful, often wacky, weather we have had this past week has made us all scratch our heads and wonder if sunny summer days will ever arrive.
A sure sign of spring has been the return to bicycles, motorcycles and skateboards to our streets. Yep time to dust off the helmet and get ready for summer activities.
As a paramedic I want to encourage our motorcycle enthusiasts to dress the part. Helmet, properly fitting and secured. Leather jacket and gloves, please! Try skidding on asphalt in a T-shirt and shorts and see what can happen to the human body. Ouch it will hurt!
Gloves and shoes would also be a nice touch. But before motorists blame the "young" guys and gals for driving too fast zipping in and out of traffic, give them room.
Motorcycles are vehicles too! Driving any vehicle requires our complete attention, that includes no texting while operating the motorcycle and limit distractions, unplug the ear buds so you can hear what going on around you.
Pedal bikes are coming out of winter storage but before you hop on yours be sure the bike is in good working order. Check the tires, ensure the brakes work, check for any loose parts and as a young person be sure the bike still fits. Moms and dads if shopping for a new bike don't buy one "they will grow into."
A bike too big is hard to manoeuvre and too hard to stop especially if the operator cannot get their feet flat on the ground. Time to brush up on the rules of the road. Riding with traffic, stopping at all controlled intersections and using proper hand signals.
The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute has some great resources parents can download. Visit their site at http://www.skprevention.ca/bike-and-wheel-safety/ The use of proper hand signals and being seen in traffic is very important for all cyclists. Most of all grab a lid, a helmet and please wear one. No helmet will prevent a head injury but it will decrease the severity in any collision.
Without a helmet the severity of a significant head injury is dramatic. There are multisport helmets but be sure one your child is wearing is rated for cycling. Wear the helmet right and tight! Make sure it fits, just above the eye brow and with the strap snug under the chin.
Eventually all the snow will melt and the ice will gone from the many rivers and lakes. As you start to think about getting your fishing boat ready also remember the law requires anyone who operates a boat of any size, to have a pleasure craft operator's card.
Visit our office at Parkland Ambulance and obtain a book, study at home, then book an appointment to write your exam. Exams are also available on-line from many sources including www.boatsmartexam.com.
One of the biggest single things you can have with you on the boat is your life jacket or personal floatation device. No it's not your seat cushion but please wear it each and every time on the water. But it will be a few weeks more before you can get the boat out on the lake near you till then please stay off the river and lake ice. It is not safe to be on the ice now!
Tell your children to do the same.


text: When I went to the OBGYN last week they told me to go on the SouthBeach Diet. I told them that my milk seemed to decrease whenever I reduced my calories- even with as little as 100 calorie change. I started the diet with phase 2 becasue I really do need to loose the weight (currently 191 - hoping to be 150 again someday). I reasoned it as eating the same amount of calories with healthy food is better then eating a ton of sugar and fat. I have been on it for 2 weeks and noticed that my milk seemed to be going down. I added some calories back in thinking that I cut too much but my milk was still low and getting lower. I have now stopped the diet and still low supply. I am drinking lots of water and mothers milk tea. I have been pumping all day and the most I am getting is 2 oz. 2 weeks ago i was making about 5 oz. Is it possible that I am loosing my milk?

Today's a day we honor presidents
Today is Presidents Day, a day we as a nation have set aside to honor our country's leaders. It's a day that deserves to be observed, even if it has in recent years become little more than a reason for many to be off work and for students to enjoy a day away from school.
We live in an age of instant news coverage and of continuous poling, a time when it has become fashionable to look for reasons to degrade the presidency. But think, for a moment, what the presidency represents to not only the residents of the United States of America, but to the rest of the world.
It's one office that continues to stand as a constant. The presidency represents all that is great about our country. Every four or eight years – depending on the will of the people – our country conducts a peaceful transfer of power in the executive branch.
Presidents Day was originally a celebration of George Washington's birthday.
There also was a day set aside to honor Abraham Lincoln's birthday. It was logical to combine the two holidays as a way to remember two men who humbly served their nation in very admirable ways.
Generations of students have been taught that Washington stood for integrity and honesty, and that Lincoln stood for freedom for all – and for understanding that no one is less equal than any one else.
And while it's become fashionable to try to tear down those legends, it's comforting to know that millions of people around the world have developed a new appreciation of Lincoln's story through the Steven Spielberg's film simply titled "Lincoln."
As Americans, we are free to disagree with our politicians. Many Americans support our current president, Barack Obama, and many don't. That's not the lesson of today, though. Whatever side your politics falls on, we must remember what the office of the presidency stands for and remember that we can never win the hearts and minds of the residents of the world if we stop believing in our institutions.
Think about that today, and be thankful for the legacies left by Washington and Lincoln.

"I started listening to Catholic Answers Live when I was struck down by an illness that basically left me bedridden. This left me questioning my faith and mortality, and my son introduced the Catholic Answers Live podcast to me. Listening to all the guests explain and defend the Catholic Faith has been instrumental. Has Catholic Answers made a difference in my life? It has become part of my life!"
~ Robyn, Australia
"The Church has always taken great care that no one should be compelled against his will to embrace the Catholic Faith, because, as Augustine wisely declares: 'except he be willing, man cannot believe'."
~ Leo XIII in his encyclical Immortale Dei (November 1, 1885) quoting Augustine of Hippo, as detailed in the article Religious Toleration

Heliophysics Data and Models
Heliophysics Data Environment (HPDE)
The HPDE is the collective set of all Heliophysics data and related documentation, tools, and services. Its goal is to provide easy access to high-quality, well-documented HP data, past and present, to enable a wide range of scientific research. The HPDE seeks to unite the set of HP physical observatories into a "Virtual Heliophysics System Observatory" similar to those in Astronomy and other fields. The datasets will also be increasingly integrated with physical models that will ultimately provide the predictive capabilities needed for Space Weather. The above link provides an overview of the HPDE; also see the Heliophysics Science Data Management Policy that provides the framework for it.
Modeling Heliophysical Systems
Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC)
The CCMC is a multi-agency partnership to enable, support and perform the research and development for next-generation space science and space weather models. Access modern space research models through an automated request system for model runs; modern, online, visualization and analysis tools; or standard data formats for simulation data downloads.
General Data Access Portals
Heliophysics Data Portal
The HDP is the equivalent of a card catalogue for a comprehensive set of Heliophysics data products. Users can search for datasets using any combination of time, observatory, measurement type, general location, and other parameters, as well as free-text keywords (Google-like). Once found, the data in question can often be plotted or retrieved directly, and if not, ftp and more capable services are provided for data access. Easily view spacecraft orbits, find articles, or check the latest space weather.
Virtual Solar Observatory
The VSO provides access to data from a comprehensive set of solar missions through simple interfaces that search by time, data product, product "nicknames" (e.g., "H-alpha"), and other parameters. It then delivers data files, typically in FITS format, that can then be viewed in numerous applications and analyzed using the SolarSoft or other routines.
Heliophysics Data Centers
Space Physics Data Facility
The SPDF provides plot, download, and direct application access to a large collection of space physics datasets. Data from different sets may be plotted together, and output datasets may be created that include only desired variables and for an arbitrary desired time range. Services include orbit graphing and 3-D visualization, access to the popular OMNI dataset of 1 AU solar wind data and related solar and ground-based indices,
Solar Data Analysis Center
SDAC serves as host to many datasets and as resource for finding many others. It also provides links to a variety of very helpful tools, such as the Solar Monitor and SolarSoft Latest Events.
Data Access and Guides to Subfields
There are a number of sites that provide information about and access to Heliophysics data, but from particular perspectives. A guide to these and to other sources of HP data worldwide can be found here. More information on specific "Virtual Observatories" can be found by clicking below.

Excerpt from my first impressions thread:
On the negative side:
-The paint seems mediocre. Its finished well but doesnt take scuffing well. I could scrape it off the picatinny rail with my thumbnail. This isnt too big of a deal to me. I will be Duracoating mine soon.
-The trigger, while better than the TM-7, is very uninspiring. Feels very toy-like. Especially after shooting dual bearing triggers.
Everything else is on the up and up so far. The marker came packaged with a nice toolkit (even a battery) and well diagramed manual. Out of the box it has a great feel. Nice and solid. I gave it the once over before airing it up. It shot 306, 305, 302 (paint was RPS Premium). I didnt find that it was any quieter than my Viking but it wouldnt trigger my Empire Reloader B. I had to use a shake-and-bake hopper so I couldnt really unleash with it.
Personally I found that a 45/15 on gun was more comfortable than the stock. I didnt use the included flip-up sights either. The marker is ideally suited to a small holo/red dot IMO since the shroud obscures your view of the barrel tip.
I have since used the marker over several weekends and its been a real shooter. Very user friendly. Great marker for the money. Im new to the forum but certainly not the sport. Ive been playing since the early 90's and Ive owned everything from PGP's, Palmers, AKA, AGD, etc... I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS MARKER. Major selling point for me. Because I can fabricate anything but my tech skills are doo-doo.
Lots of info on my custom build here: <<< War's TM-15 project >>>

The tm15 has invert mini internals and is just like the bt tm7 with a new body kit. Ive shot a tm7 and it works preety well but it didnt feel very good in the hands and the trigger was uncomfartble. I would reccomend an upped smart parts sp1. Get a black heart board for it and put a new barrel and you're ready to go. It shoots very smooth, luxe reg, lighter than an a bt tm15 and will be easier to mantain.
tm15 has updated the trigger assembly and mode selector to be crisper

Hey, I have recently been researching the net about the new BT TM-15, and have come to a pretty definite decision of buying one. All I am waiting for is Mike's Review on it. Can anybody tell me their personal opinion on it. You can also discuss anything that has to do with the BT TM-15 here.

The NHS logo is the cornerstone of our brand identity.
It is our signature; the mark of NHS ownership of services and messages.
It is also one of the most powerful logos in the UK, carrying:
As a result of this recognition and trust, the NHS is perceived to be an impartial and credible provider of health advice, information and services.
It is important that you use the NHS logo correctly and consistently across all applications. Always use the logo in accordance with our main brand guidelines, and make sure you do not alter the logo in any way.
When working with the logo you should only use original digital graphic files, which can be downloaded from this site: download the NHS logo.
Never redraw the NHS logo, change it in any way or attempt to create it yourself. You should also never create shapes around the logo.
The NHS logo should never be used as a substitute for the letters 'NHS' in a sentence or phrase. It should also only appear once on a single sheet. Duplication can dilute the strength and impact of our logo.
The NHS logo is a registered trademark owned by the Department of Health. You must always use the logo in accordance with these brand guidelines.
The colour of the NHS logo is NHS Blue (Pantone® 300). By using this colour you will help to enhance recognition of our logo and reinforce our identity. Wherever possible, you should use the NHS logo against a white or light-coloured background.
If you are printing in mono, you can reproduce the NHS logo in black. If you are printing on a dark background, you can reverse the logo out of your background colour. You should never reproduce the logo in a tint of NHS Blue or black.
The NHS logo in NHS Blue (Pantone® 300)
The NHS logo in black
The NHS logo reversed out of an NHS Blue background (Pantone® 300)
The NHS logo reversed out of a black background
The 'exclusion zone' is the clear area that surrounds the NHS logo. To ensure that the logo remains clear and has impact, nothing should ever appear inside the exclusion zone. There are occasional exceptions to this rule, for example, if you are creating specific logotypes for statutory organisations. But in general you should never enter the exclusion zone.
The exclusion zone
The clear space (shown here as X) is proportional and is defined as the height of the NHS logo.
When producing printed materials, you should position your logo in the top right-hand corner of a printed page. If this is not possible, use the bottom right-hand corner instead.
NHS logo size guide
For all publications other than stationery, the margin spacing for the logo is equivalent to the logo clearspace at the appropriate size.
Stationery, such as an A4 letterhead or a business card, have a specific margin measurement, details of which can be found in the Stationery section.
You can download the NHS logo as an original graphic file from this website, providing you agree to the terms and conditions of use.
If you wish to use the logo in any other way, or if you are downloading it to pass on to a third party, please see the help section.
Remember: the NHS logo is a registered trademark. If you are in any doubt about its use or have any other questions, please go to the help section.

"Alternative Nuclear Futures"
Journal Article, Daedalus, volume 139, issue 1, pages 126-137
Winter 2010
Authors: Steven E. Miller, Director, International Security Program; Editor-in-Chief, International Security; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom, Scott Sagan, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1981-1982; Editorial Board Member, Quarterly Journal: International Security
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Excerpt from "Alternative Nuclear Futures":
"The global nuclear order is changing, but where is it headed? Will the expected expansion of nuclear power in many regions around the world lead to increased dangers of nuclear terrorism and increased risks of nuclear weapons proliferation? As we noted in our introduction in volume 1,1 the common answer provided by the diverse international group of contributors to this two volume special issue of Dædalus is that it depends: it depends on how quickly and how widely nuclear power spreads to new countries; it depends on the domestic political and governance characteristics of the new nuclear power states; it depends on whether terrorists' plans to attack nuclear sites or steal nuclear materials succeed or fail; and, crucially, it depends on the steps taken by the international community to improve the safety mechanisms, physical protection standards, and nonproliferation safeguards that make up the tapestry of agreements that we call the nonproliferation regime.
Our colleagues have laid out a rich menu of steps that could strengthen the nonproliferation regime. We hope that governments around the world will listen to the ideas offered by these scholars, industry leaders, and former officials about how best to gain the benefits of nuclear energy while minimizing the security risks that are inherent in the spread of nuclear power. But we know from studying the history of nuclear power and proliferation that not all good ideas are adopted over time, and that wise policies and potential constructive compromises among conflicting interests do not always triumph.
Our crystal ball is not clear enough to predict with confidence whether the global nuclear future will be characterized by peace and prosperity or by conflict and destruction. But we do believe that the choices made in the coming few years will be crucial in determining whether the world can have more nuclear power without more nuclear weapons dangers in the future. Here we first briefly outline five major security challenges posed by the potential expansion and spread of nuclear power. Second, we discuss the major players whose decisions and interactions will determine which policies are adopted and which are rejected as the international community seeks solutions to these five security challenges. Finally, we sketch a number of alternative nuclear futures to demonstrate the truly momentous nature of the political and technical decisions that will soon be made by critical national and international actors...."

New York Times article Web Privacy Becomes a Business Imperative by Somini Sengupta discusses web privacy affecting businesses' bottom line. As Mozilla's Chief Privacy Officer says in the article:
"They're asking for a different level of privacy on your service," he said, "You have to listen to that. It's critical to your business."
Finally. More Internet companies are realizing the truth behind what PPR has said all along: products and services that don't offer real privacy and security don't fly with consumers. While some still may debate the exact meaning of "privacy," what we consistently see is that consumers want to have control over what happens with their data. It's about time we start listening to what the public wants and honor everyone's right to be let alone as they see fit.

Vaughn C. Adams
Vaughn G. Adams
BERLIN Vaughn G. Adams, 76, of Highland Avenue, died Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at home with his family. He had been in ill health for the past four years.
Born on Sept. 14, 1936, in Montpelier, he was the son of Kenneth G. and Evelyn L. (Stewart) Adams. He attended East Montpelier Elementary School and received his GED from Montpelier High School. Later, he served in the United States Air Force in France and Germany.
On June 30, 1962, Vaughn married Thanna L. Dolan in Morrisville. Following their marriage, they first made their home in East Montpelier before moving to Berlin where they had resided for 45 years.
For 38 years, he worked for the Union Mutual Fire Insurance Co. in Montpelier until his retirement.
Vaughn was a member of the First Congregational Church of Berlin where he had served as a trustee and on the board of deacons. He was also a member of the Vermont Fieldman Association and a 50-year member of the Wyoming Masonic Lodge 80 of Plainfield. In earlier years, he served on the Parent Teacher Neighbor Association of Berlin.
He enjoyed all types of sports, camping, deer hunting and golfing. He was an avid Red Sox fan and liked spending their winters in Bowling Green, Fla.
He is survived by his wife, Thanna Adams, of Berlin; a son, Brent Adams, and his wife, Carolyn, of Warren; three daughters, Sheila Gariboldi, of Barre, Beth Cody and her husband, Stephen, of Barre, and Marcia Hudson and her husband, Brad, of Calais; nine grandchildren, Tiana Gariboldi, Ryan Gariboldi, Ricky Gariboldi, Bailee Hudson, Jayden Hudson, Colby Hudson, Fiona Adams, Shannon Adams and Dalton Cody; a brother, Kenneth A. Adams, and his wife, Jacqueline, of Berlin; two sisters, Brenda Bashaw and her husband, Art, and Sandra Clark, all of Barre; many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, a brother-in-law, Frank Clark Jr., predeceased him.
A funeral service and celebration of Vaughns life will be held in the First Congregational Church of Berlin on Sunday, March 10, 2013, at 2 p.m. Entombment will take place in the Hooker and Whitcomb Vault in Barre to await later interment in the Berlin Corner Cemetery. Family and friends may call at the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the First Congregational Church of Berlin, 1808 Scott Hill Road, Berlin, VT 05602; or to the Lamoille Area Cancer Network, P.O. Box 38, Lake Elmore, VT 05657.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery
