AnnouncementA major conference focusing on improving acquisition and performance of Defense programs and systems, including net-centric operations and data/information interoperability, system-of-systems engineering and all aspects of system sustainment, will be convened in Arlington, VA, October 28-31, 2013. This conference is sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association, Systems Engineering Division, with technical co-sponsorship by IEEE AES, IEEE Systems Council and the International Council on Systems Engineering, and is supported by the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Director, Systems Engineering, and Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer.
BackgroundThe Department of Defense continues to seek ways to improve the acquisition of military equipment and capability to assist the warfighter in protecting the U.S. and its allies, and help oppressed nations around the world in a complex environment of ever-changing threats and conditions. The recently enacted Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009 defines Systems Engineering as a key player in helping effect improvements in defense acquisition and program execution, to achieve more effective and affordable military systems. Systems Engineering is the "umbrella" engineering function that serves as the key integrating function for successful program execution and helping maintain the balance between requirements, performance, cost, schedule, and overall effectiveness and affordability. Systems Engineering principles embody strong technical and risk/opportunity management aspects, for the acquiring program office as well as the prime and subcontractors. Strong emphasis on systems engineering throughout the program, especially in early development planning, is a key enabler of successful programs and fielded defense systems. The Annual Systems Engineering Conference explores the various roles of systems engineering from all aspects and perspectives—pragmatic, practical and academic—and brings key practitioners together to work on effective solutions to achieve a successful warfighting force.
Conference ObjectivesThis conference seeks to create an interactive forum for Program Managers, Systems Engineers, Chief Scientists, and Engineers and Managers from the Requirements, Design, Verification, Support, Logistics and Test communities from both Government and Industry. The conference will provide the opportunity to shape policy and procedures by exchanging innovative tactics and lessons learned.

Portrait from Andy Newman on Vimeo.
This 25-minute long video documentary by Columbus videographer Andy Newman is a beautiful view into how Instagram has affected the role of professional photography. The film studies Seattle-based photographer Andria Lindquist and designer Cory Staudacher, who has more than 173,000 Instagram followers. The objective look at both artists' work is a lesson in inspiration and how to find it, when to say no to certain projects, and how to define your art in a world of artists.

If Miller signs with Portland, then who has cap space for Lee? Lee's alternatives are diminishing. I do not see a sign and trade with a team that is going to pay Lee what he and his agent appear to believe he is worth.
I think that there is a good chance Lee may even take a one year contract and be unrestricted next year. If so, we will have some money for Sessions.

The iceman cometh
December 11, 2013 —
With winter breathing down our necks, Mother Nature (in her infinite wisdom) has decided to get a jump on things. Clearly, she and Jack Frost are in cahoots, since the iceman has been busy creating magical designs on windows across the Upper Delaware Valley. I suppose those with triple-insulated thermal panes have been spared, but my place (and I suspect many of yours') could use a little extra insulation, so when the temperature dips, oh-so-pretty designs appear on my glass, courtesy of the imp with the icy paintbrush. To be sure, the images are pretty and conjure up wintry memories from my wonder years. In those days, it was not I who worried about storm windows and heating bills, but the harsh realities of adulthood currently abound. As a result, I snap photos of the patterns, while cursing the leaky sills, in an attempt to make (frozen) lemonade from the lemons I've been handed. I'm not complaining (per se) but I do feel a bit for the dog. Little fazes her and she loves romping in the snow but the ice? Well, that presents challenges, even for a wonder dog. At under 12 pounds, and with a few inches of solid ice/snow beneath her, Dharma spent a good portion of the morning slip-sliding away, perplexed about her inability to navigate the terra that was (just days ago) firma under her frosty paws.

In November 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) entered into a cooperative research agreement with a private consortium led by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) to build and field test an integrated vehicle-based safety system designed to prevent rear-end, lane change and run-off-road crashes. The prototype vehicles being developed will provide forward collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW), lane change warning (LCW), and curve speed warning (CSW) functions:
- FCW alerts drivers when they are in danger of striking the rear of the vehicle in front of them traveling in the same direction.
- The LDW function provides alerts to drivers when a lateral drift toward or over lane edges is sensed without a turn signal indication.
- LCW will increase a driver's situational awareness of vehicles in close proximity traveling in adjacent lanes in the same direction.
- The CSW function warns drivers when they are traveling too fast for an upcoming curve.
The integrated safety system for the light vehicle platform includes the FCW, LDW, LCW and CSW functions, while the heavy commercial truck platform includes the FCW, LDW, and LCW functions only.
During the first two years of the program, the industry team designed, built, and conducted tests to verify the prototype systems on passenger cars and heavy trucks. The prototype vehicles underwent a series of closed-course track tests aimed at ensuring that the integrated system met the performance requirements and was safe for use by unescorted volunteer drivers during the field operational test, which is planned for Phase II. Approval to proceed with Phase II of the Program was granted on April 8, 2008.
The heavy truck field test was conducted between February 2009 and December 2009, while the light vehicle field test began in April 2009 and was completed by May 2010. Approximately 175,000 miles of driving data was collected, with 53,000 miles of the total under baseline driving conditions and 123,000 miles with the integrated system enabled.
Analysis of the data is now complete and all final reports and program summaries have been completed and are posted to this Web page (see Program Documentation page).

Barre women face crack use charges
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Two Barre woman were jailed on bail in New Hampshire after allegedly smoking crack cocaine in a car with a 2-year-old child inside on Monday.
The New Hampshire Union Leader reported that police said Sarah Lucas, 32, and Ellen Smith, 31, were arrested by undercover officers Monday evening at a Mobil gas station in Manchester, N.H., after officers monitored the car because the occupants seemed to be engaged in suspicious activity.
Police say they approached the vehicle and saw the driver, Lucas, holding a glass pipe.
According to the Manchester District Court, both women were arraigned Monday. Lucas pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of controlled drug acts prohibited and Smith pleaded not guilty to one felony count of controlled drug acts prohibited and one misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child. Both women are being held for lack of $2,000 bail.

it seems that i have finally managed to get the oversupply issues under control on the right side but the left still leaks so much that it seems to over-produce in response to the leakage. i am block feeding and feeding more frequently from the right and leaving the left for every 4 hrs or so. this helps a bit but if that feed is not a big one, the engorgement is quite painful and i worry about infections (again!).
what i'm wondering is, if LO doesn't nurse much off the left side and falls asleep, would pumping that breast increase milk production if done right after nursing? i don't want to offer that side again in an hour or so when he wakes up as that would probably cause additional over-production but i also am in too much discomfort to wait another 4 hrs.
LO is 6 weeks old today if that helps. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I rarely go to BK, but I enjoy their hamburgers when I do. As for Donuts, they are 1 of 2 things in my list to never eat bcuz if the Fat factor. (Chimichangas are the other. I LOVE Mexican food and have never allowed myself a Chimichanga. So dumb cuz I'll eat an order of loaded Nachos.)
I sure as heck am never going to get a Hamburger (fries) AND A DONUT!!! But yes, Hamburger, fries AND DIET COKE.ReplyCancel
I didn't mean to sound callous about his death. I'm a Sabres fan. Tim was playing for the Sabres when he died. He was speeding, drunk and not wearing a seatbelt on his way from Canada to Buffalo after a game, and lost control of his car.ReplyCancel
What's wrong with avoiding paying our ridiculous taxes? Some of us are rather bothered paying for the majority of you. You're going to get angry, yell, call me cold, and a lot of other names… to that, I'll respond with, you're welcome. Enjoy that food in your belly, the rich pay for all of it. That's why we get tax breaks and you don't… you cannot give tax breaks to those who are not paying to begin with. Your country is supported almost entirely through rich people, and we're sick of paying for you.ReplyCancel
You crack me up, @Jordan, thanks for the giggle! 🙂ReplyCancel
@Jordan, I didn't mean to imply anything was wrong with it. Maybe my choice of words inferred that. I should have said they are doing it "as a tax strategy to minimize taxes". I'm a business owner and pay plenty in taxes. It's my accountants job to help find ways to reduce my tax burden.ReplyCancel
Never been a fan of Burger King. There was a chain in 70's called Burger Chef, definitely midwest if not nationwide. Wish this franchise lasted, not BK.ReplyCancel
Yes All Lace I went to the Sabres game that happened the day after he was killed and we drove by the crash site. Of course it was also a time when we were not as aware of the dangers of drinking and driving.
I remember the fine for DUI first offence was $300 dollars and this was a few years after Horton died still and I really don't remember there was any licence suspension but when they made it a one year suspension for first offence it got everyone's attention and then a lot of people started to rethink their habits.ReplyCancel
Timmy's was bought out by Wendy's a long time ago, but that partnership went south. No big deal.
I just wish they'd stop putting f'ing glaze on practically everything. Ever since Krispy Kreme tried to rear it's ugly head in Canada, Tim's been slathering on the glaze.ReplyCancel
Burger King does not do that well in Canada. The only one in our city closed down years ago. How funny now we got US businesses coming to Canada rather than US companies moving their Canadian subsidiaries to Mexico.
I don't see Burger King as well run from what I have observed here not as well as McDonalds or even Wendies. Wendies and Tim Hortons had merged but that got broken up because Wendies was performly poorly.
This still has to be voted on by the shareholders and Obama may not like yet another US business trying to avoid taxes. BNN said it was a bad deal for Tim Horton's unless the offer was $100 a share or more.ReplyCancel
Tim Horton was also an excellent defenceman for the Toronto Maple Leafs during their glory years in the 1960s under Punch Imlach. Last time they won the Stanley Cup. It was a golden time for Canadian hockey fans. So he is still considered a hero. Tim Horton's the franchise does do a lot of good things all over Canada. Here your kids play the Timbit league when they start playing hockey, between 5 and 7, I think peewee starts at 8, and the Timbt divisions are coed cause the kids are still learning how to skate and of course NBC.ReplyCancel
It's a small form of treason.
I have to pay my taxes. Burger King should STFU and pay theirs.ReplyCancel
But don't worry they also tax corporations in other ways in Canada like the Employer Health Tax but then I presume they factored that all in?
I was looking at the property taxes in California the other day. No wonder that state is in trouble. You don't tax the rich high enough for sure. Houses of the same value in Canada are taxed at three times the level. But then we pay our teachers decent wages well actually too much now because we had an ex teacher as Premier.ReplyCancel
I'm sorry to hear that @surfer everybody I know who has been to Tim Hortons liked it. Me it never got that far south in the northeast so Ive never been to one. But with tons of Canadians here their franchises should consider opening sites down here.ReplyCancel
Tom Horton crila.ReplyCancel
I dont know exactly how this worked but in a way Wendys owns Tim Hortons. They bought it in 2006 but it didn't work out so they spun it off as a separate company to protect the company.ReplyCancel
@Tina, where are you in Canada? I was just a child when Tim died, but had already moved from Buffalo to San Diego when it happened.ReplyCancel
We were told a few months ago that we'd be getting a TH's or two in STL fairly soon! Excited! I liked 'em when I had 'em in Ohio. Now if we could just get a Skyline Chili or a Gold Star Chili parlor…
Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita than any other country, BTW. Is it because of the proliferation of TH's, or what?
@Haywood – Burger Chef was bought out by Hardee's in the late '70s or early '80s, IIRC.ReplyCancel
Dunking Donuts vs Tim Hortons in a steel cage match? Who wins. None of the Krispy Kremes could match DD up here in the northeastReplyCancel
I live in Southern Ontario – my dad always wanted Leaf season tickets but you basically have to wait for someone to die and they cost a lot even then. So when Punch Imlach moved to Buffalo to coach the new franchise my dad got season tickets to the Sabres. It was fun watching a young team get better and better each year, can't remember when they peaked, I think my dad gave up the tickets when us kids were all moved out of the house etc.
Buffalo is still a better deal hockeywise and people in Buffalo are fun. IMO. My dad's section everyone knew each other so it was like a party going to the games.ReplyCancel
Dunkin not dunkingReplyCancel
Ha! I didn't know there was a Canadian Enty out there…ReplyCancel
@Tina, I love the people in Buffalo. It always strikes me how nice everyone is whenever I visit. I was hoping to go to the Bills-Charger game this year, but it conflicts with another event we are going to. I like going in the fall so I can get my change of season fix.ReplyCancel
@Haywood I remember Burger Chef!ReplyCancel
LOL @ Lotta!ReplyCancel
Terrible, terrible idea. They're going to ruin Timmy Ho's. (Not to mention the whole sketchy tax dodge aspect.)ReplyCancel
i dont.ReplyCancel
@good 'ol me he also used the word toonie once…
I don't care about Tim's. I don't like it, and we've already been through the controversy with Wendy's years ago.
It affects my life zero.

I'm not much of a computer person.
Great, then Plone is for you.
I need a way for people at various levels in our organization to put content on the web site, without having to call up our programmer all the time to do it for us.
Great, then Plone is for you!
This article gives a high-level overview of what Plone is capable of, with pointers to resources to help you get started on the path to building your own Plone site. Future articles will pick up where this one leaves off, exploring topics such as defining workflows, skinning a site, and creating new content types quickly.
The workforce is full of individuals that require at least some technical savvy in order to perform their jobs. People in all levels of an organization use their skills with word processors, spreadsheet applications, presentation software, and the like to create content important to their organization. In many cases, that content needs to appear on the company's web site. Call up the programmer ....
What if those same people who create the annual reports, call in the ad for the tacky leather couches they want to sell, write the feasibility assessments, and file trouble tickets when their Internet service goes down could add the content to the web site themselves?
With Plone, they can!
Plone is a content management system (CMS), built atop the Zope web application server, and Zope's Content Management Framework (CMF), a powerful framework for building CMSes. It empowers end users at every level of an organization to take the content they create and add it to the company web site themselves, without the need for programmer intervention.
Of course, the rules of who can add what kind of content and where become much more complicated than that. For the complex needs of organizations large and small, Plone offers several useful features out of the box, including membership management, workflow, internationalization (i18n), UI "skins," standards compliance, and a host of security features to restrict users' editing privileges to allow them to do their jobs without inadvertently interfering with the work of others. For Python programmers, Plone is easy to extend using "products," a Zope metaphor for creating site extensions that can easily plug into other Plone sites. It's also quick to create new content types with the use of Plone's Archetypes framework.
The remainder of this article will explore these features in more detail from a technical perspective. As of this writing, the latest release of Plone is version 2.0.4.
Plone is available under the GPL, with some Zope-specific bits licensed under the ZPL, a Zope-specific license. The software is free to download, explore, and customize to fit your needs. Because the system is openly available, bugs that appear often have quick fixes. And because developers have the full source code to the system to explore, they can offer a level of expertise with this system that is difficult or impossible to achieve with proprietary alternatives.
I speak from experience; occasionally my project work has discovered a bug in Plone itself. We've almost always fixed it ourselves. In a proprietary system, you're at the mercy of your vendor.
A basic requirement of any site that supports multiple users adding content is the ability to create those users in the first place. Plone offers full support for new member registration, member preference editing, extending members by adding new properties to store about them, member searching, password reminders, and much more. More recently, we have begun to add "workflowable" members. In essence, this allows you to define an approval procedure for members such that a member account could be in various states, for example, "pending payment," "basic member," "full member," etc. From there, you can define access privileges to members based on their states.
Figure 1. New member join form
To learn more about making members workflowable, check out CMFMember (also, incidentally, a good example of a Plone product).
It's also easy to store the member property values in an external data source such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Figure 2. Member property management screen
In a site with many members who each carry their own responsibilities in an organization, it's often necessary to define an approval procedure for a document or other piece of content to add to the site.
Workflow provides a way to define a set of steps through which a piece of content must pass before publication. Each step represents a transition. Each transition brings the content into a new state. Each state has permissions assigned to it that determine who can view or modify the content and how that should take place.
For example, anyone may view a publicly published news article, but an "approved" out-of-office request may be viewable only by other internal employees. Transitions are scriptable, so you can do things like send an email to a reviewer when a user submits a piece of content for review.
Figure 3. Workflow actions
English is the language of business. Many organizations need their content accessible in other languages. Having lived in countries where the official languages have ranged from English to French to Russian and Lithuanian, I promise that this is true. :)
Plone supports internationalization ("marking" content in such a way as to make it translatable) and localization (the actual translations themselves). Out of sheer laziness, we often refer to these as i18n and l10n. Translation is possible without the need of a programmer.
Figure 4. The Plone UI in German
Plone's i18n and l10n support extends from both the content objects in the site up through to the Plone UI itself. Plone is currently available in around 40 different languages.
For UI specialists, Plone uses a powerful metaphor for customizing the default interface to your preferred look and feel.
Skins are a collection of layers, which contain through-the-web (TTW) customizable UI components such as standard page headers, footers, and images, as well as functional components such as Python scripts. Each layer often (though not necessarily) maps to a directory on the filesystem made visible through the Plone interface.
Figure 5. All of the layers registered on the site
Figure 6. Configuring the layers that belong to a skin
With this approach, it's easy to customize things like the header of your Plone site, the main logo, the behavior of the search box, or even what the system does when a new member registers. For example, you may require payment to join the site, and thus you may want to customize the join to take the user to a payment screen after submitting a registration. Of course, your site can have multiple skins from which the user can select, or which depend on whether the viewer accesses the site from the corporate intranet or the Internet at large.
The UI team has also gone to great lengths to ensure that the Plone interface looks the same in all of the major browsers, including IE6, Mozilla, Safari, Firefox, Opera and several others. This represents a good example of cross-browser compatibility that other projects (open source and proprietary) would do well to follow.
In any multi-user application, it's important to have the power to configure the system to the finest detail so that each user can do everything that she needs to do--no more and no less.
In Plone, a member belongs to zero, one, or more groups. Each group has zero, one, or more roles attached to it. Each role has zero, one, or more permissions granted to it, depending on the context of the object being accessed in the site. Zope's access permissions apply to methods of classes, limiting the level of granularity to which you can configure your site's security only by your determination to keep users out of places they don't belong.
Figure 7. Assigning users to groups
Figure 8. Assigning roles to groups
Figure 9. Assigning permissions to roles
Because Plone is built on top of Zope and the Zope CMF, you can build reusable extensions for your Plone site in a manner very similar to any other Zope-based site.
A product is a bundle of functionality, written in Python, that plugs into your Plone site. I already briefly mentioned the CMFMember product as an example. There are Plone products available that provide everything from bug collectors to discussion forums and full-blown e-commerce applications! Because a product is just a chunk of Python code, the complexity (or simplicity) of a product is up to its author. In the common case, a product will register its own layers in a skin, offering the same ease of customization as Plone itself.
Installing a Plone product is usually as easy as dropping it into the Products/ directory in your Plone installation and going to the part of the Plone UI that allows you to install and remove products.
Figure 10. Installing and removing products in a Plone site
By definition, a CMS is all about its content. Easy things should be easy and hard things should be possible.
In a CMS framework, creating new content types should be easy, and extending those new content types to provide more complex behaviors should be possible. To accomplish this, Plone provides the Archetypes framework as part of its standard release. The goal behind Archetypes is to allow a programmer to create new content types quickly, turning feature requests into working code in a matter of hours or even minutes.
Plone provides a complete, ready-to-run application right out of the box that includes all the features we've covered in this article. There are freely downloadable Plone release installers for most major platforms. Even non-programmers with a bit of technical savvy can have at least a basic installation up and running in minutes.
If you're going to do something, you might as well do something you enjoy. Being a Plone developer is a heck of a lot of fun.
The Plone development team includes a wide range of individuals--Python programmers, usability experts, translators, graphic designers, and document writers. If you're interested in helping out, you're sure to find somewhere that your skills can be put to use. Plone has appeared at technical conferences around the world, and now has its own annual Plone conference, the second one being held in Vienna, Austria from September 20 to 22, 2004. In addition, you can participate in one of the many development sprints (intense, several-day development sessions that bring together Plone developers from around the world into the same room to accomplish a set of specific tasks) going on all over the world, held at venues including the Plone Conference, in the Swiss Alps, and even a castle in Austria!
If you're not a developer, a wide range of companies offer Plone training and consulting services, so you're almost sure to find someone with the skills to meet your company's content management objectives with Plone.
Plone has found its way into serving up content for research institutions, Ivy League universities, ISPs, space agencies and more. Here's a brief list of sites built with Plone:
This represents only a partial list of Plone users, of course, but provides a sampling of the wide variety of organizations from all over the world that are using Plone.
Plone is a powerful and robust framework for allowing users at all levels of your organization to add, edit, and remove content from your web site in an easy-to-use and secure way. Future articles will explore in greater depth Plone development topics such as defining workflows, customizing the look and feel of your Plone site, and how to create new content types.
Brad Bollenbach is a Plone and Zope consultant, trainer and writer. He has done Plone work for clients around North America and Europe and has given Plone training courses in both English and French. He was a speaker at EuroPython 2003 in Belgium.

Q: How often do you eat out?
A: I'm embarrassed to admit this, but almost daily. What many people don't know is that Forbes magazine recently named Columbus one of the top five secret foodie cities in the country. So whether it's catching a happy hour with friends or networking over a business lunch, I try to find any excuse to explore this city's culinary scene.
Q: Where do you consider yourself a regular?
A: I can't get enough of El Arepazo Latin Grill (47 N. Pearl St.). This place is truly a hidden lunch gem.
For those outside of Downtown, I highly recommend checking out their new location in Gahanna (93 N. High St.) which is open for dinner and offers something their Downtown location doesn't — mojitos.
Q: What do you order there?
A: I have been a regular of El Arepazo for the past six years, and can you believe I have never ordered anything other the Tilapia Patacon? It's that good. Don't forget to load up on the cilantro sauce.
Q: Where is your favorite place for lunch?
A: Depends on what day it is. During the week, the Menu del Dia at Barcelona (263 E. Whittier St.) is the best lunch deal in town — $12 will get you a starter, an entree, a side and a drink. World-class food at that price is pretty hard to beat.
And my weekend isn't complete without a stop over to Due Amici (67 E. Gay St.) for their $15 brunch, which includes a brunch item and your choice of a homemade Bloody Mary, screwdriver or fresh juice mimosa.
Q: What about dinner?
A: As a big supporter of the locavore movement and sustainable farming practices, I know that anything I order at Third & Hollywood (1433 W. 3rd Ave., Grandview Heights) will be fresh and humanely raised.
Q: Any recent finds?
A: I have noticed an influx of fast-casual style restaurants popping up around town. Two worth mentioning are Bibihop (1270 W. 5th Ave.), which I would describe as Korean-Chipotle, and Maki Go! (12 E. Broad St.), which features burrito-style sushi.

This is about the seventeenth time I have started this thread. It keeps coming out much longer than I intend (mostly with explanations of the things I've already tried) so I'm trying again. Here goes:
My son is fourteen months old. When he was 5 months old, I had a nipple trauma (caused by what, we don't know) followed by thrush, and since then nursing has sucked. I hurt and bleed. I could give you lots of details on the things I have tried and the professionals I have seen, but it doesn't matter. The whole thing has been heartbreaking to say the least.
For a while, we have been down to three feeds a day. And now, the pain is back in a major way and I need to drop one. Until I decide what to do, I'm pumping, but I can't keep this up.
I need to replace a feed with a bottle (can't *eliminate* a feed, as he's not ready - we've tried). But which feed, and a bottle of what? He's allergic to dairy, even goat. He can't have more rice milk than he's getting as he gets constipated. Soy milk? He can have that, even though I'm not very comfortable with him having much. Formula? He's never had it, but should we try it? Water? Or maybe a solids snack? Of what?
OK. I really am leaving out a lot, but you get the gist. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!

Chautauqua Lake Reels In Big Anglers
by Remington Whitcomb, The Post-Journal
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. – Twenty-four of the greatest anglers in the world are testing the waters of Chautauqua Lake to see who will be crowned champion for the second season of Jack Link's Major League Fishing.
On Wednesday, a press conference was held at the Athenaeum Hotel in the Chautauqua Institution to announce that season two of Jack Link's Major League Fishing, dubbed the "Summit Cup" is taking place right now on Chautauqua Lake.
Those who have not yet heard of Jack Link's Major League Fishing should not feel bad, as the sport was only launched last August. However, in only one year's time, the sport has picked up a myriad of sponsors and has been aired on Outdoor Channel.
What separates Jack Link's Major League Fishing from other fishing tournaments is a set of new and innovative rules designed to make the event television-ready and full of action and excitement.
After 24 of the world's best anglers are selected, they are informed where they will be competing only two days before the tournament begins. This ensures that every angler begins the tournament with the same level of familiarity with where they are fishing. Additionally:
The tournament's innovative format enables anglers to compete with no limit on the number of legal fish they can catch and weigh;
Competitors are barred from utilizing stored, user-generated GPS waypoints;
Competitors are not allowed any practice time to get a feel for what the fish are doing;
The anglers are equipped with real-time leaderboards in their boats, allowing them to know at all times where they stand in the competition.
The competition is broken down into five qualifying rounds and one championship round. The first five rounds of the Summit Cup will be broadcast on the Outdoor Channel beginning on Jan. 1, and the championship round will air on NBC on Feb. 9. This means that Chautauqua Lake and all it has to offer will be shown for all to see on national television.
"It's interesting how this all started out," said Craig Robbins, fishing and hunting director for Chautauqua County. "The executive producer (for Major League Fishing) Randy White came here about 10 years ago as a cameraman for another show. Ten years later, he needed a location for this show. He made some phone calls and got our number. Because of Chautauqua Lake's reputation (for fishing) Jack Link's Major League Fishing came to us, and Chautauqua Institution has opened its doors the institution has been great."
Robbins continued that most of the anglers are lodging at the Athenaeum Hotel, however some are also lodging off-campus as well.
"All of our local partners have bent over backward to make sure (Jack Link's Major League Fishing's) stay in Chautauqua can be perfect," said Robbins. "It's great, because it's the government working with local businesses to bring everything together."
And according to the statements made by Timmy Horton, Gary Klein and Shaw Grigsby, the three professional anglers present at the press conference, there isn't a single detail about Chautauqua they can find to critique.
"It can be a touchy subject, especially when you're talking about the health of a lake," said Horton about lake weeds. "I think the best way to manage it is with the mowers, which is what Chautauqua is doing ... but for fishing purposes, the (vegetation level) here is perfect. For fishing, vegetation is essential. It gives the young bass a place to hide so they're not prey to the perch and other predators. Any lake you go to that has vegetation like Chautauqua is going to make for great fishing. Chautauqua offers both large and small mouth bass in the same lake, which is great."
Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of Jack Link's Major League Fishing coming to Chautauqua Lake is the amount of respect the anglers are showing to the lake. Because every boat has a scale, and there is no limit to the amount of legal-sized fish an angler can catch, fish are not spending all day in a bucket on a boat away from their ecosystem. In fact, harsh penalties are imposed upon anglers that allow fish to ever come in contact with the floor of their boat or that toss fish back into the lake rather than gently easing them back into the waters. In wanting to make Major League Fishing as popular as other major league sports, the anglers desire to practice the utmost level of professionalism in their trade.
Truly, the arrival of Jack Link's Major League Fishing is a win-win for both parties: the anglers get a beautiful lake to prove they are the best at their trade, and the county will get to enjoy the limelight of national television.
"We're going to have literally weeks of national coverage regarding the high quality of Chautauqua County and Chautauqua Lake," said Assemblyman Andrew Goodell. "This type of positive exposure for our county is absolutely invaluable. You can't buy this type of coverage. It's great to see the best bass fishers in the world singing the praises of Chautauqua Lake. Sometimes we forget what we have here, and sometimes we need to be reminded by those who are the best in the world that this is a fabulous lake and an all-around fabulous place."

This exhibition features select works from Al Sol, or "To the Sun," a series of over 40 photographs taken by Stella Johnson of rural families living in Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cameroon. The photographs in this exhibition capture the Gbaya and Fulbe cultures in Djohong and surrounding villages in the northeastern savannah region of Cameroon. The daily life of these groups as recorded by Johnson includes people harvesting and preparing food, children reading, and villagers interacting. To complete this project, Johnson lived and worked in several communities over a 15-year period. According to the artist, "years of memories and patience come together to comprise the photographs that became Al Sol."
Stella Johnson received Fulbright Scholarships to Mexico in 2003-2004, and 2006, the former for photography and the latter for teaching. Her personal work has been recognized by a Cultural Collaborative Artist-In-Residence Grant, a grant from The International Music and Art Foundation and has been highlighted in dozens of shows in the U.S. and Mexico. She teaches at the Art Institute of Boston, Lesley University, and Boston University.
The book Al Sol was published by Wild Greek Press and the University of Maine Press in 2007.This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts and the Emmett J. Doerr Endowment Fund.

Welcome to the MSGKnickz33 Pregame show, Im your host Jazzy Jeff and its time to break down Monday nights game against the Hornets. The Knicks have lost 2 straight dissapointing games. Against the Hawks Crawford took too many shots and lost what should have been a win. The Knicks forgot to show up in the 2nd half Saturday against the Magic. We'll see how they do Monday night againt the 3rd best team out west.
The Hornets might have the 3rd best record in the west, but they are only a game out of 1st place. If you have NBA league pass, you can watch the Hornets vs Wizards at 6:00pm ET. This paragraph will be updated tonight/tomorrow afternoon.

To Moderators: Anyway you can add a poll question to my game thread? My computer was slow when i clicked submit new thread, the poll question screen never showed up even though i checked it.
This is the question i was goin to have
Whos the Greatest Knick of all-time?
Patrick Ewing
Walt "Clyde" Frazier
Bernard King
Willis Reed
I was watchin some Bernard King games the other day, before he got injured:
Bernard King>>>Larry Bird
I voted from Patrick Ewing, even though we didn't get a title with him, I do think he deserves some credit. I didn't like it when in the 80s he wanted to be traded from the Knicks, and then in 2001 he requested a trade, and he got it. Its a sad story with Patrick Ewing, but he was a great Center, you can't ask for anything more from him.
Willis Reed, and Walt Clyde were on the team together, in a different time period in the 60s and 70s then Patrick Ewing. SO I didn't vote for those guys.
Bernard King might be one of the most underrated, or underappreciated players in NBA history,
By the way what ever happened to Anthony Mason, and what happened to the defense core of the Knicks in the mid and early 90s? Now look at us lol. We were the Knicks team and other team fans were scared of, Isiah and Dolan made this a circus abcd said it best.
Anthony Mason was the oldest player ever to make the all-star team, at age 32. I think he retired around the year 2003, he was one of my favorites. I think I remember him gettin in trouble with the law, and it took 9 cops or something like that to hold him down. Im not 100% sure of these details, I was young but I remember readin about it.
I voted for Bernard King, I dont think theres a right or wrong answer. Before the injury king was unstoppable, who knows where he woulda brought the Knicks.
Dirk is playin like a mvp
Good point about Bernard King.
Just some facts about Jamal Crawford
He is ranked 7th in the NBA in attempts per game, and is only under 21 a game.
2nd in minutes per game just behind AI. AI is averaging 26.9 PPG 7 assists..
JC 20.8 ppg 5 assist.
Bernard was great, but he was only great for a 5 year span. That said its a joke his number isn't retired.
Monroe was a solid player for the Knicks, but he was great as a Washington Bullet not as a Knick.
Reed was probably the greatest leader in the history of the organization and he was and will always be THE CAPTAIN.
Patrick holds basically every Knick record, and if not for MJ he proably would've gotten a ring.
but the answer is simple.
Walt Clyde is the greatest Knick. All i have to say is game 7 1970 36 points and 19 assists.
yow msg, my league pass aint workin no more, right now when i click to watch a game it's tellin me to authenticate my account n enter my acount number....
Moz and NYK 4 Life....."I got orange n blue blood pumpin in my veins"........
Whos the MVP? Good arguments for all of the following: Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James
Which team would be the worst without their star? Cleveland would be terrible without Lebron, they wouldnt even be a team.

Buy your Replacement Hub Assembly or Wheel Bearing directly from our Auto Parts Factory Outlet Store and save over 70%. By purchasing directly from us, you essentially cut out the middleman and enjoy the incredible savings of buying Factory Direct.
It is important to distinguish between a hub bearing assembly and a wheel bearing. There are a few noticeable symptoms that you may need to replace this part on your vehicle. A vibration when driving, steering wander and grinding noises while cornering are all possible symptoms. If you need to replace this part, some vehicles are only equipped to be changed with a replacement wheel bearing. However, many vehicles today give you the option of replacing this part with a hub assembly. This is a housing that has the wheel bearing and hub already pressed into it. This is advantageous because a failing wheel bearing could possibly mean that your vehicle's hub and ABS sensors could be failing as well. Replacing all of these components at one time can help extend the life of your vehicle and save you grief in the future.
With over 30 years of Auto Parts experience, Prime Choice Auto Parts takes pride in selling high quality auto parts at the lowest

PITTSBURGH, PA (December 15, 2010) – PA Governor Edward G. Rendell announced funding for two significant airport development projects at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Allegheny County Airport Authority announced that the funding will be put towards Clinton Phase Two, an extension of the successful Clinton Commerce Park on Clinton Road and the McClaren Road Project at the southwest corner of I-376 and McClaren Road, both in Findlay Township. The property is part of Pittsburgh International Airport.
"The PA grant will allow the Airport Authority to provide shovel-ready sites for development that will result in hundreds of jobs and millions in private investment. Pittsburgh International Airport's role as an economic generator is two-fold – providing high quality, competitive air service in and out of southwestern PA and developing key properties to attract new industry and jobs. The Allegheny County Airport Authority is grateful for all of the support we have received from Governor Rendell, Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, Findlay Township Officials and Supervisors and West Allegheny School District," said Glenn R. Mahone, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
"Development on Airport Property is an important goal of the Allegheny County Airport Authority. In order to create shovel-ready land, we need to make the necessary infrastructure improvements in order to market land to private companies. This funding will make that happen," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
Funding for the projects comes from the state's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program for projects that have been approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor.
Clinton Commerce Park Phase Two was awarded $8 million for the extension of utilities, access roads and grading of six new industrial and commercial sites. The $20 million project is anticipated to create more than 2,000 permanent direct and indirect jobs, as well as 180 temporary construction jobs.
McClaren Business Park was awarded $5 million, for the construction of a new road that will connect to McClaren Road near the interchange with I-376. Several shovel-ready sites will be opened and prepared for development. The $11 million project is expected to create 400 permanent jobs and 250 construction jobs.

I'll have to check out that book. No one I know IRL has nursed past one so the ideas they are giving me just don't work, ya know? They have the best of intentions, but a two year old is much more determined, and dare I say stubborn, than a one year old.
Thanks so much ladies. I feel so lost when it comes to this aspect of our nursing relationship. Like I'm just wandering around and hoping it falls into place.

In making its determination, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Coastal Fisheries Division used the best available scientific information including samples collected by using trawls and bag seines in TPWD routine data collection.
The purpose of the closed Gulf season is to protect brown shrimp during their major period of emigration from the bays to the Gulf of Mexico until they reach a larger, more valuable size before harvest and to prevent waste caused by the discarding of smaller individuals.
Federal waters (from 9 to 200 nautical miles offshore) will open at the same time that state waters will open. The National Marine Fisheries Service chose to adopt rules compatible with those adopted by Texas.

Must See Video: Fort Drum's 'Functional Fitness'
You may think you know what a workout is.
But chances are, you have never done anything like the training soldiers are doing at the new 'functional fitness' center on Fort Drum.
Aside from some fairly extreme workout techniques - flipping tires, pushing weighted sleds, climbing Jacob's Ladders - there is also training in hand to hand combat.
A partial list:
"Boxing techniques, kick-boxing techniques, takedowns, fighting with a weapon, two on one, fighting people off of you," says Staff Sergeant Zachary Foust, as he ticks off some of what the soldiers are learning.
"It's very relevant to the battlefield today."
To see what Staff Sergeant Foust is talking about, and get a look at the rest of the workout soldiers are getting, click on the picture.

- Title
- The two-phase formation history of spiral galaxies traced by the cosmic evolution of the bar fraction
- Author(s)
- Kraljic, Katarina; Bournaud, Frederic; Martig, Marie
- Abstract
- We study the evolution of galactic bars and the link with disk and spheroid formation in a sample of zoom-in cosmological simulations. Our simulation sample focuses on galaxies with present-day stellar masses in the 1010-1011 M ☉ range, in field and loose group environments, with a broad variety of mass growth histories. In our models, bars are almost absent from the progenitors of present-day spirals at z > 1.5, and they remain rare and generally too weak to be observable down to z 1. After this characteristic epoch, the fractions of observable and strong bars rise rapidly, bars being present in 80% of spiral galaxies and easily observable in two thirds of these at z ≤ 0.5. This is quantitatively consistent with the redshift evolution of the observed bar fraction, although the latter is presently known up to z 0.8 because of band-shifting and resolution effects. Our models hence predict that the decrease in the bar fraction with increasing redshift should continue with a fraction of observable bars not larger than 10%-15% in disk galaxies at z > 1. Our models also predict later bar formation in lower-mass galaxies, in agreement with existing data. We find that the characteristic epoch of bar formation, namely redshift z 0.8-1 in the studied mass range, corresponds to the epoch at which today's spirals acquire their disk-dominated morphology. At higher redshift, disks tend to be rapidly destroyed by mergers and gravitational instabilities and rarely develop significant bars. We hence suggest that the bar formation epoch corresponds to the transition between an early "violent" phase of spiral galaxy formation at z ≥ 1 and a late 'secular' phase at z ≤ 0.8. In the secular phase, the presence of bars substantially contributes to the growth of the (pseudo-)bulge, but the bulge mass budget remains statistically dominated by the contribution of mergers, interactions, and disk instabilities at high redshift. Early bars at z > 1 are often short-lived, while most of the bars formed at z ≤ 1 persist down to z = 0, late cosmological gas infall being necessary to maintain some of them.

Man jailed on domestic assault chargeJuly 18,2014City man is jailed
on assault charge
A Rutland man is in jail for lack of $10,000 bail after city police said he assaulted a woman at his Tuttle Meadow Drive home.
Jason P. Silva, 39, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of second-degree aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and unlawful mischief.
Silva was arrested Saturday at his home after police were called there for a domestic disturbance. Police said they saw Silva punch a man who had arrived to give a ride to a woman whose belongings Silva had thrown onto the front lawn.
A woman in the house told police Silva had kicked her thigh and used his palm to hit her in the face.
Silva was wrestled to the ground by officers during his arrest, according to court records.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...
