Idaho women bounce back with road win
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Idaho women's basketball team followed one of its worst offensive performances of the season with one of its best, as the Vandals got their third win on their four-game road trip with a 83-66 Western Athletic Conference victory over San Jose State Saturday afternoon.
Idaho freshman Christina Salvatore scored a career-high 22 points on 5-of-11 from 3-point range, and the Vandals came one 3-pointer shy of tying the single-game program record, going 14-for-37 from long range.
The Vandals shot 41 percent from the field in the game and their 83 points are the second most scored by the team this season. Idaho improves to 10-12 on the season and 7-4 in the WAC with the win, breaking a third-place conference tie with the Spartans, who fall to 9-13 and 6-5 in the WAC. Just two nights earlier, Idaho shot 20 percent from the field and 12.5 percent from 3-point range in a loss at Utah State.
"We have great shooters and great distributers, and tonight we did a great job of making the extra pass and shooting with confidence," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "We bounced back nicely in that area for sure and shot the ball well tonight."
Idaho senior Jessica Graham scored a season-high 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting and added six rebounds, while Alyssa Charlston and Stacey Barr each added 14 points for Idaho. Freshman Connie Ballestero had a career-high 11 assists with no turnovers in the game, and added five points and four rebounds. Sophomore Krissy Karr had four assists and four rebounds without a turnover.
"Both of them did a great job," Newlee said of Ballestero and Karr. "Krissy did a great job of keeping our offense going. Turnovers were a huge stat. San Jose thrives on taking turnovers on top and turning them into layups and we didn't let that happen tonight."
Idaho committed just 11 turnovers in the game, the second fewest for the team in a game this season. The Vandals were out-rebounded 46-45 overall and 15-11 on the offensive end, as San Jose State out-scored Idaho 14-7 in second-chance points.
While Idaho and San Jose State had similar shooting performances, Idaho going 29-for-71 and SJSU going 28-for-71, the Vandals made 10 more 3-pointers than the Spartans, holding SJSU to 4-for-14 from long range. Idaho also went 11-for-13 from the free throw line, who San Jose State hit just 6-of-14 free throws.
Idaho freshman Ali Forde dominated on the glass, with 13 rebounds in the game to go along with six points and two assists. Five of her 13 boards came on the offensive end.
"She really came to get on the glass in the second half," Newlee said of Forde. "When we really needed to start getting rebounds inside, she started clearing some space and getting in there and getting rebounds."
Idaho went 3-1 on its four-game road trip and is now 5-1 in WAC road games. The Vandals will return home to host New Mexico State on Feb. 7 and Denver on Feb. 9.

Not an Ending But a Change
Change is one of those inevitable things in life. Today brings yet another one of those inevitable changes, as I am officially moving on from my current role with ActiveRain.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the ActiveRain team, and all of the members, to build ActiveRain to what it is today. Right now, I have an opportunity in front of me that is too good to pass up. I will be founding a new, yet-to-be-announced social networking/media startup outside of the real estate industry. Similar to with ActiveRain and real estate, I see a very large market that has some unique problems in need of a solution and and it's shocking no one has previously put all of the pieces together. You will be hearing much more about it soon enough, and I look forward to being able to build something as passionately as I have been able to help build with ActiveRain.
While I will be officially moving on from my current role with ActiveRain, I will continue to have an active role with the company, working on various projects. You will still see me around as I plan on attending as many of the industry events and gatherings as I can going forward. I have also been asked to remain on the Board of ActiveRain and will continue in that capacity. I look forward to making continuing contributions to ActiveRain as it continues its exciting progress – not just because I'm one of the company's largest shareholders but because I love the community.

Bravo! I especially enjoyed the discussion of Jeff's "goose flesh" over the Gallaraga/Joyce reconciliation after the blown perfect game. I agree that if it had been Joe West we would have witnessed an entirely different scene.
Thanks, Jane. Yeah, we mighta had a revolution on our hands had West made the errant call. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that😉

The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) is a comprehensive data reporting system which collects patient level detail on patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, services, and charges for every hospital discharge from an Article 28 facility; ambulatory surgery discharges from hospital-based ambulatory surgery centers and all other facilities providing ambulatory surgery services; and emergency department visits in New York State. This dataset is a summary of the SPARCS inpatient discharge data. This dataset was modified in September 2013 to be in sync with the release of the Hospital Inpatient Discharges (SPARCS De- Identified) datasets. Please refer to the data dictionary for information on the current data available.
The SPARCS data has been divided into two distinct datasets, Hospital Discharges by Patient County of Residence and Hospital Discharges by Facility to preserve the confidentiality of identifiable individual information.
For more information check out http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/sparcs/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

"Surprisingly Interesting"
My 5 month old kitten prefers to play with these over all his other toys. The three we received were all the straight tube shape; I wish there were two or three different shapes as pictured on the site. I'll be ordering more.
"Love It"
My cats absolutely love these soft springs. They carry them around in their mouths and actually sit and wait till one is done so the other can get it. I work with rescue kittens and they absolutely adore them. They will play with them for hours. Love them.
These are absolute GARBAGE. In trying to roll them, they just shredded and came apart. The cat loved them for about a minute, then ignored them completely. HUGE WASTE OF MONEY.
"Wonderful toy"
My cat loves these! He chases them all over the place, and sometimes he picks one up in his mouth to drop elsewhere -- or to throw for me to fetch. (Well, maybe he doesn't do it deliberately, but I tend to fetch anyway.) He can also bounce them off furniture, toss them up in the air, etc. They're incredible versatile for such a simple toy. By the way, I tuck in only one end, so they circle as they skitter -- a good way to keep them from going all the way under the refrigerator.

Thank you to the votersJune 28,2013
Thank you to the voters
To the voters and residents of Montpelier:
On behalf of the members of the Montpelier Firefighters Association,I would like to extend a very much belated thankyou for your support through the unpleasant budget process and town meeting day vote. We were very pleased that our ballot initiative (Article 15) was supported by the majority of Montpelier voters and approved.
Article 15 requested that the exact dollar amount to fund a Full-time Firefighter/EMT be reinstated into the budget, to maintain the pre-existing staffing levels.
Although we all wish this process never occurred, we are a group that is very passionate about what we do. Our drive was never about anything more than the safety of our community and our firefighters, and we hope that message was heard. Despite all of the negativity associated with the budget process, we are grateful for all the face-to-face contact and support we received while going door-to-door. It truly was a pleasure to meet all of you and get a chance to inform you of who we are and what were here foryou.
We now anxiously await the next step in this process. A current lieutenants retirement is just one week away and, at the beginning of July, we will be down one firefighter. Will the mayor and the city council listen to you, the public who employs them, and us, the firefighters that are here to do the job? Will they follow through with not only the language but also the intent of Article 15? Will they restore this position as the people of Montpelier have dictated?
We hope they will do the right thing so that we can continue to maintain the services that you desire, at the level you, as voters, have determined.

I don't listen to as much Christian music as I ought to – I don't have a radio in the car and I don't have a way of keeping up with what's good, and there's not much worse than bad Christian music (except for bad country music).
But I listened to quite a bit of it when I was at Christian college, no shocker there.
Tonight, I had DirecTV tuned to the classic rock audio channel, and Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" came on. To some of you, it may be corny nostalgia, but to me it's a beautiful and poignant song from my youth, so you darn kids just get off my lawn. Anyway, Kansas made me think of Kerry Livgren, the band's songwriter, whose conversion a few years after the soul-searching of "Dust" led to a weird band dynamic. Livgren was writing songs with Christian subtexts and metaphors with which the band's lead singer didn't feel comfortable. Eventually, Kerry
left and went on to other projects. His first such effortOne of his first such efforts for the Christian music industry was an album called "A.D." (Technically, I think A.D. was supposed to be the name of the band, but for most of us Kerry was the band.) My favorite song off that album was an oh-so-80s rock anthem, "All Creation Sings," which I happen to have in MP3 form on my computer. I turned off the TV and fired it up.
I love that song.
I can't embed it – the only YouTube I found of it seems to be broken – but you can listen at this page of Kerry's site.
I know, I'm a dinosaur.

A Little Planned Spontaneity
Defeat doesn't really hit home unless you get a chance to twist the knife after you've stuck it to the other team. Think T.O. or Ochocinco. It isn't enough that they score the touchdown. No, they have to make sure the entire world knows that they were so sure they would score that they took the time to plan an elaborate post TD celebration.
Baseball rarely achieves quite the same heights (or depths) but a guy standing at the plate for just a couple seconds more than he needs to in order to follow the trajectory of the ball as it exits the field gets his point across just fine. Even pitchers get notoriously wound up when they feel their mojo rising to the point that they start yelling, punching and shaking body parts.
A sport that sometimes gets neglected when it comes to discussions of celebrations, though, is the world's game, soccer. This isn't to say that there aren't celebrations, it's just that they tend to be of a more spontaneous nature. A player sneaks the ball in past the goalie and runs to the sideline to perform an impromptu dance before getting mobbed by the rest of the team. It doesn't look rehearsed and that spontaneity is refreshing. Sometimes it's nice to watch pure emotion run rampant.
But that doesn't mean that soccer players haven't developed their own well-choreographed celebrations. For instance, even though their economy may be in shambles and their island blowing up around them, Icelanders sure can put on a good show:
Maybe they should hire these guys and their creativity to restructure the Icelandic banking sector. They couldn't mess it up much more than the previous architects.
Happy Friday!

All that was missing from the video was a sign around that guys neck that said "Gone Fishin'" lol
Why bother fixing anything there if it's only going to get spit lava on or fall into that big giant crack they have running through their little island. That place is like Mother Gaia with acid reflux during that time o'month.
Doh : o
Gotta give 'em an A+ for originality.

I like this! It's better than anything Ochocinco pulled last year (the PFHOF jacket, the poncho y sombrero getup). This makes the "all fall down" the Milwaukee Brewers does after every Prince Fielder homer just mere dumb.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Susano'o n Amateratsu
yea u go blind instantly
Madara didn't
Danzo cud use izanagi 4 ten minutes! Check d website on d person who posted above me.
I say Izanagi. Even if it's for a short period, if you're like Danzo or Madara (he has a whole storage of Sharingan so he can do it all day), nothing will work on you. Someone could use Ama and burn you till your half a skeloton or looking like two face from Batman and Susanoo can shoot you with a thousand arrows, and crush you and you just make it seem like it was all a dream (that would be a hell of a nightmare I would assume) but you'll come out unharmed.

1.Wrong Section
2.Thats because he had many sharingan on his arm and each one went blind every time he used Izanagi.
3.I would choose Susano'o because the susano'o gives you the ultimate defense and offense and only drains your eyesight gradualy and uses alot of chakra,but with the EMS-Eternal Mongekyo Sharingan-This drawback is negated.How ever with the Izanagi the recoil remains whether you have MS or EMS.

Update: Homeopathy in Brazilian Scientific American
Last week I wrote about a regrettable piece on homeopathy that was published in Scientific American Brasil. There have been gratifying developments. Within hours, the editor in chief of Scientific American, Mariette DiChristina, appeared in the Comments. She said that Scientific American does not condone the pseudoscience of homeopathy, that the piece clearly should not have been published, that it would never have been published if Scientific American had been consulted beforehand, and that she had complained to the responsible parties. I was very grateful for her response to my article, for her intervention, and for her willingness to speak out in support of good science.
An Apology
Lo and behold, two days later Ms. DiChristina reported that the editor of Scientific American Brasil had written a letter of apology and had published it on the website. Here is a full translation:

i just started my 7 mos old on cereal last week and he's been lapping up about 4tsps once daily. i tried to give him potato mixed with EBM but he pooh-poohed it out! will try carrots or sweet potato this week.
1. how often should i give him solids now that i've just started out? when do we increase to 2x a day?
2. when i do give him solids twice a day, do i offer the same food? or can i give something he's had previously one time in the day and then something new later in the evening?
you know, if someone could compile ALL the nitty gritty FAQs of everyone's concerns into a nice encyclopaedic volume, that'll be GREAT!!!

April 5, 2011 —
Members of the appeals board repeated several times that it was not the content that was being objected to, but rather the size of the sign, which clearly is larger than the four square feet allowed by town code.
The house and garage on Erie Avenue to which the sign is attached, is located next to The River Reporter. According to Tony Ritter, chairman of the Tusten Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), the building that houses the newspaper is in a downtown business district, while the house next door is in a general residence district, which has a limit for political or advocacy signs of four square feet.
At the ZBA meeting on April 4, Ritter read correspondence from two attorneys saying the sign, which reads "Let's get fracking, pass the gas," is in violation of the code.
Attorney Jeffrey Clemente, who used to represent the owner of the building, Ned Lang, wrote, "The sign violates our sign ordinance; Ned is wrong. Town law is clear and it should be enforced."
Attorney John Kelly agreed that the sign is in violation of the code. He added a word of caution, however, and said that Lang owns a number of buildings in both residential and commercial districts in the town, and if Lang "becomes sufficiently motivated, he could place similar signs in multiple high-visibility locations and effectively accomplish his goals while marring the scenic beauty of the Town of Tusten, yet remaining in compliance with the town's current zoning laws."
Lang, who is also a member of the ZBA, did not attend the meeting. The general consensus of the board was that it was their duty to enforce the zoning code as it exists.
The town code enforcement office, Igor Smetaniuk, said at the town meeting on March 14 that ordering Lang to take the sign down might be an infringement of his right to free speech. Smetaniuk did not attend the meeting, although he was advised that the matter would be addressed.
A couple of board members addressed that issue. Liza Phillips said, "We have a job to enforce the zoning as we interpret it, and clearly the sign is a violation, but if he doesn't want to do his job and wants to claim that, then he has to go to court."
Kevin McDonough said zoning in the United States has been around since the 1920s and earlier. To challenge the sign law on free speech issues would not be a matter for a local court but would instead be a matter for the Supreme Court of the United States.
Ultimately, the ZBA voted unanimously to send Smetaniak a letter advising him to enforce the town code and to order Lang to remove the sign within a week of receiving notification. If Lang refuses to remove the sign the ZBA said Smetaniak should treat the matter "like any other violation of town code."

Mililani in Central Oahu has a pig problem, and it's only getting worse, mostly due to well-intending homeowners who continue to feed the feral animals from their backyards or nearby gulches.
"Well, what we're realizing is that a lot of people are feeding pigs," said David O'Neal," general manager of the Mililani Town Association. "They think they're cute, they throw food down behind their walls and then we start getting swarms of pigs coming up."
Mililani has faced the swine in suburbia before, according to state Sen. Michelle Kidani, who also serves as president of MTA.
"I've been on the Mililani Town Association board of directors for about 15 years, and this issue has come and gone before," Kidani told KITV4. "The last issue we had is they were attacking household pets, so we are concerned."
Now, the issue isn't so much "Fido," but foliage -- the feral pigs are eroding firebreaks and digging up lawns. It's gotten so bad that the MTA issued an alert in its March newsletter.
"There are areas in Mililani, a lot of the perimeter areas, where what used to be maybe ten feet of firebreak behind (a homeowner's) wall is now six inches. So, definitely there are clearly areas that are eroding," explains O'Neal.
According to Miles Fukushima of the Oahu Pig Hunters Assocation, feral pigs can do a lot of damage in a matter of hours, especially when they're rooting for food.
"They get strong noses and they just can dig," said Fukushima. "They're looking for food -- anything, roots, roaches; anything they're going to eat."
Although it's illegal to feed animals at parks in Oahu where signs are posted, there is no law that prevents homeowners from feeding feral pigs. Kidani believes such a law would be nearly impossible to enforce.
"So, at this point I don't think legislation is the issue, I think we should start with education," said Kidani.
With feral pigs roaming residential neighborhoods in Mililani and some even walking on driveways or streets, O'Neal is concerned about the potential danger to young children. Just last year, a Mililani man on Leolani Street was attacked by a pig that made its way into his backyard.
"It started just banging against the wall to get out, and ended up gouging the man in his leg," said O'Neal. "When you feed them, they're going to come, they're going to breed (and) their population's going to explode."

- Title
- The effects of stellar populations on galaxy scaling relations in the 6dF Galaxy Survey
- Author(s)
- Proctor, Robert N.; Lah, Philip; Forbes, Duncan A.; Colless, Matthew; Couch, Warrick J.
- Abstract
- We present an analysis of the stellar populations as a function of mass in a sample of ~7000 galaxies of all morphological and emission types from the 6dF Galaxy Survey. We measure velocity dispersions and Lick indices from the spectra of the central regions of these galaxies, deriving ages and metallicities from the Lick indices using stellar population models. We also derive dynamical masses and dynamical mass-to-light ratios for these galaxies by combining the central velocity dispersions with global photometry in the B, R and K bands from SuperCOSMOS and 2MASS. Together, these data allow us to reduce the degeneracies between age, metallicity and star formation burst strength that have limited previous studies. We find that old galaxies exhibit a mass-metallicity relation with logarithmic slope d[Fe/H]/d logM ≈ 0.25, while young galaxies show slopes consistent with zero. When we account for the effects of the mass-metallicity relation, we obtain a single, consistent relation between mass-to-light ratio and mass for old galaxies in all passbands, M/L ∝ M0.15. As we have accounted for stellar population effects, this remaining variation in the mass-to-light ratio with mass (the residual 'tilt' of the Fundamental Plane) must have a dynamical origin. However, we demonstrate that any simple trend between mass-to-light ratio and mass or luminosity is inconsistent with the observations, and that a more complex relationship must exist. We find that the central regions of galaxies of all masses often exhibit young stellar populations. However, it is only in the lowest mass galaxies studied (~1010 M-circle-dot) that these populations are evident in the global photometry. In higher mass galaxies, young central populations have decreasing influence on the global photometry, with there being no discernible impact in galaxies more massive than ~2 x 1011 M-circle-dot. We conclude that the young stellar populations detected in spectroscopic studies are generally centrally concentrated, and that there is an upper limit on the mass of star-forming events in massive galaxies. These results have important ramifications for mass-to-light ratios estimated from photometric observations.

An open letter to the GOP
Editor: The following is an open letter to Republicans:
If you read editorials in this paper and watch Fox News, you probably believe that our present national budget crisis is the fault of President Obama. However, according to a national poll by the Washington Post and ABC News on Oct.7, 70 percent of Americans disapprove of how Republicans have handled the crisis.
Here is my opinion (and I'm a tried and true Democrat). Get real, Republicans! Who won the last election? Obama. Who passed the Affordable Care Act? Republicans and Democrats in both houses of Congress. Do you really believe Obama is going to cave on a law which is going to be his legacy? I doubt it.
You are catering to a section of your party who do not represent the majority of Americans. The reality is that "Obamacare" is and will be good for Americans and West Virginians. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has stated that the law actually decreases the government deficit.
I heard from a friend who works on implementing the Affordable Care Act in West Virginia that as of last week, 45,000 uninsured or underinsured West Virginians had already signed up for Health Insurance Exchanges. Our government budget should not be held up by those who want to repeal this law!

Eryngium are thistle-like flowers that blanket spiny foliage. Great for cut flowers, also dry beautifully. Salt tolerant.
Loves a sandy, well-drained site. Will tolerate drought and neglect in hot dry spells. Cut down flower stems to prevent seeding or let it fill in a difficult spot. A long taproot makes it difficult to move or divide this plant, but can be done in spring if necessary. Plants will be slow to recover.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Presidents Report – Dr. Albert Walker
- Dr. Walker recognized Ms. Carol Cofer and the BSC Nursing students who assisted with the Toys for Tots toy distribution during the recent visit from Dr. Phil to kick off this year's Toys for Tots campaign. All who participated received certificates of appreciation for their efforts during this event.
- Dr. Walker called the group's attention to an invitation to join BSC employees for this year's Christmas Dinner on December 7, 2007 at David's at the Club.
- Dr. Walker reviewed the 2006-2007 College Goals and how each had been met during the year. Mr. Frost discussed the need to make adjustments for students facing hardships due to the increasing gas prices. He informed the group that students are already pre-registering for spring classes so decisions need to be made immediately. Dr. Walker discussed conversations with the Chancellor and Ms. Kay Goodwin to address this pressing issue. He reported that the administration is looking at ways to modify the current class schedule to allow students a Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday schedule.
- Mr. Frost asked for information concerning the additional funds awarded to BSC for the loss of Title III funds along with the need for funds in the same amount to be added to the college's base budget. Dr. Walker reported that the Chancellor has expressed support for the addition to the base budget in future years. Presently the added funding is a one time allocation.
Financial and Administrative Affairs – Ms. Shelia Johnson
- College Financial Reports – Ms. Johnson called the group's attention to the financial material distributed prior to the meeting and reviewed the information. Discussion followed.
- Large and unusual transactions – Ms. Johnson reported that a purchase order was issued for computers from Dell. She explained that a special price at the end of October made it necessary to make the purchase immediately in order to save a considerable amount of money.
- Transformer problem in Dickason Hall earlier this year with a bill of $157,000 – Ms. Johnson reported that the insurance company sent the college a settlement check for $154, 996.
- Proposed salary increases – After looking at the revenue from tuition and fees, Ms. Johnson asked that effective December 1, 2007 (with the exception that if the paperwork cannot be submitted to the State Budget Office in time), additional annual pay increases for faculty, classified and non-classified equal to the increases given October 1, 2007 be given.

The really weird thing is that nobody was saying that melo is better than durant before this streak !!
This means that knicks fans don't really appreciate their stars and don't have the needed faith in them.
Actually, new yorkers are always harsh when it comes to their teams, they easily turn their back on them when they have a rough period of time.
It's a fact, most of you all didn't have faith in melo before, saying that he's a one dimensional star, some didnt even call him a super star!!
I understand why, i get it, but you guys should have more faith even when the team fukcs up.
I still remember the comments i read about melo when he left the huddle during a time-out no more than a month ago and you guys RAPED him with some nasty comments.
Yes he wasn't that wise, but come on, have some faith and dont just change your thoughts that easily.
Some of what melo did was childish, but he proved that he has the mentality of a superstar who can play offense and defense, we saw that at the beginning of the season, so please REMEMBER THAT!
Melo for the scoring title, JR for 6th man of the year.

We're looking for a surprise in January
Those surveys that show people approve of their own Congressman but disapprove of Congress in general have come home to roost. The disconnect in the statistics shows up when all those home-district-approved representatives and Senators butt heads with one another.
The result is an all-or-nothing-at-all government that is dysfunctional at best and a national disaster at its worst. And, we include President Barack Obama here, too, with his "no negotiations" stance throughout the budget and debt standoff of the past few weeks. The people's Congress, dysfunctional and confused as it is, has problems with the president's policies and needs to be heard. But majority rule also applies.
The issue isn't winning and losing. Nor has the U.S. government been about winner take all for most of its history, save the bloodletting known as the Civil War.
In the current case, it's not region against region, and we cannot figure out what breaking the nation's back would prove for either side.
The sole pleasure in seeing the can kicked down the road to the dead of winter is the preservation for a time of a functioning nation that should be the world's leader in freedom and economic vitality.
The ongoing winner-take-all mentality at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, from the Oval Office to the two chambers of Congress which are split into three factions now, did not change. The underlying issues that cause the nation to be on the brink of economic disaster requiring the eternal raising of its borrowing authority did not change.
Obamacare did not change. The fact that the federal government is involved in way more than it should be did not change. The fact that spending has been out of control for a generation didn't change. And none of those issues can be changed overnight.
Congress created and Obama agreed to the sequester cuts nearly two years ago in hopes they would be so Draconian no one in their right mind would let them occur. But ideological heels were dug in, compromises were not possible and the impossible became the law of the land in the spring. It remains so amid the bickering Band-Aid solution.
The fiscal can was kicked down the road last fall and again in the spring, all with promises of supercommittees and various negotiating schemes to occur. All fell apart rapidly, with more angst and dysfunction as the next deadline approached on the nation's default.
The underlying issues were laid bare this time. A nation that borrows too much on every dollar's worth of revenue it brings in has to decide what it really wants. Does it want to continue borrowing until it cannot avoid default even if it tries to borrow more? Or does it want to trim its budgets to match revenues? That will take actual compromise, not a winner-take-all attitude, where some suffering will be spread among all factions. And the amount of cutting needed gets more painful with each season of delay.
But we'd assume compromise remains impossible, given the collapses every time the real issues started being discussed. And we'd assume theater is more important to the White House and Congress even when they recognize they're doing nothing constructive and are not willing to push the economic disaster button.
We'll be back at this again in January, with another default looming in February unless both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue can compromise, something they've failed at so far during this administration.
We hope for better but really have no expectations rooted in reality.
Here's to a January surprise.

John F. Kennedy? You've heard about him. Caesar? Got his own salad.
History is stuffed with famous warriors and mad geniuses who are just waiting to be played by Russel Crowe, or at least, Ben Affleck.
This article isn't about them. This is about the little guys who wandered onto History's highway and managed to do something that changed the world for the better, and in a huge way.
5The Security Guard Who Brought Down a President
Wait, Who?
There you are, getting ready for work, brushing your teeth, staring at the mirror, wondering if anyone is going to notice that zit... and then this thought kinda just pops into your head:
"Today, I'm going to accidentally bring down the American government."
Never happened to you? Security guard Frank Wills had no early warning either. With a hefty paycheck of $80 a week, Wills might have had good reason to believe he was well out of History's high beams. But in 1972, while patrolling the offices where the Democratic National Headquarters was, Frank noticed that little strips of tape was holding a few doors open. He tore them off. Coming back later, he saw that the tape had been replaced and, deciding that shenanigans were afoot, he called the police.
Not on Frank Wills' watch!
You all pretty much know the rest of the story. The burglars were arrested, tied to Nixon's re-election campaign and eventually, to the President himself. Amidst charges of massively illegal behavior, Nixon finally resigned in 1974, and was beaten to death in an alleyway behind a New Jersey Taco Bell.
The one on Rt 34.
No, wait. He became a bestselling author, and lived for years.
Wills, the hard working American who was just doing his job, managed to disintegrate into obscurity almost as quickly as he'd emerged. He played himself in the 1976 movie All the President's Men, but he didn't even get a raise for bringing down the government. In fact, when he left the job because they apparently refused to pay for vacation time, he found he couldn't get work anywhere else. One university told him that they didn't want the government to withhold funding because they'd hired him as a security guard.
Money went fast, and there wasn't a whole hell of a lot of it to begin with. He couldn't pay his electricity bill, couldn't afford to bury his mother, and had to wash his clothes in a goddamn bucket. And not one of those fancy golden buckets. In 1983, he was sentenced to a year in prison for shoplifting a pair of $13 shoes. And that was pretty much it until he died in 2000.
Without This Person, We Might Not Have:
The desire to add "-gate" to every scandal that makes the news. That, and an executive branch that wasn't totally corrupt. For most of the 20th century the media had a crush on the president. Teddy Roosevelt made racist jokes, JFK chased tail, and the press blushed and wondered if the president ever thought of them when they weren't around. Frank Wills showed the world how important accountability can be, especially when the president is a paranoid lunatic.
Watergate caused Congress to strengthen the Freedom of Information act, making it a vicious scalpel of Truth for the common man. Until George W. Bush weakened it in 2001. And in 2002. Don't worry, though. We're pretty sure his intentions are pure.
4The Kid Who Killed Richard the Lionheart (and Changed History)
Wait, Who?
Richard I of England, usually portrayed as a smug Sean Connery type, spent most of his life at war. When he wasn't slaughtering heathens, hating Jews and seizing land, he was at war with his brothers and his father. The man had lived to the then-unbelievable age of 42 when a hundred elite assassins sacrificed their lives to mortally wound him in a dazzling swordfight along a sheer cliff face.
No, just kidding. It was one kid with a crossbow and a frying pan.
The young assassin was such a nobody that historians don't even know his name, calling him either Peter, Dudo, John or Bertran (we'll just call him PDJB). The Lionheart came to PDJB's tiny land to suppress a minor revolt, killing the kid's father and brother during the assault. With most of the castle's defenders dead, Richard the Lionheart took a stroll along the base of the walls.
And there, history tells us, the Lionheart rofled. Because at the top of the wall, all alone, was our friend PDJB, batting away arrows with a dented frying pan, and shouting insults at the top of his young lungs. Spotting the king, the boy fired an arrow and missed. Richard, who clearly thought arrow wounds were things that happened to other people, cheered on the defender. The second arrow buried itself in his shoulder. After an unsuccessful surgery made the wound gangrenous, the dying king had PDJB brought to him, and pardoned the boy. Once the king had died, his soldiers skinned PDJB alive. Then, to drive home the point that everyone was just so irritable about the regicide thing, they hung him.
With Richard dead, his brother John became King of England, and began losing territories from Richard's hard-won empire so fast that you have to imagine he was getting candy and handjobs out of it.
Without This Person, We Might Not Have:
The Magna Carta. Though there is still a debate as to whether Richard was even into the ladies, he was still married to one. If he had survived long enough to have a kid, the crown wouldn't have gone to John, who lost so many battles that he got the nickname "Softsword". After a particularly nasty defeat, his Barons forced him to sign a document that essentially made him a king in name only. Add this to the fact that we remember John now as the sissy, whining lion in Disney's Robin Hood, and you have a pretty fair idea of how bad he was for England at the time.
King John signing the Magna Carta. Also, some guys with pots on their head.
If it wasn't for that one lucky shot, English royalty might have held on to their God-given deathgrip on the lives of their subjects. Our Magna Carta-inspired Constitution? Gone. And you and I, buddy? Proud citizens of the great nation of "New England". Kiss that July 4th holiday goodbye, suckers. And pretty much all of the political advances of the past few hundred years.

History of Scottish Clans
Origin of the Scottish Clans
Scottish clans are widely believed to have a common ancestor but most members of the clan actually aren't related. Rather than ethnicity, the members of Scottish clans were brought together by land and political turmoil of the 12th and 13th centuries. It was in the 12th and 13th century when most men joined powerful clan chiefs, took the clan name and swore allegiance in return for protection.
Many clans claim to descend from legendary and mythological figures, especially the most powerful ones. Clan Donald for instance claims to descend either from King Conn who ruled Ulster in the 2nd century or the legendary Ulster hero called Cuchulainn. Their rivals, the Clan Campbell trace their origin to Diarmuid, a warrior who appears in the mythological Fenian Cycle. Clan Gregor and Clan Mackinnon claim to descend from the Siol Alpin family which in turn was founded by Alpin, father of the first king of Scots Kenneth MacAlpin (810-858). But with the exception of the confederation of clans consisting of the Clan Lamont, Clan Sweeney, Clan MacLachlan, Clan MacLea and Clan MacNeill who trace their origin to the Irish King Niall of the Nine Hostages (5th century), most Scottish clans can prove direct lineage only to the 11th century or later.
Collapse of the Clan System
In 1745, the Scottish Highlands clans supported Charles Edward Stuart in his claim to the thrones of Scotland, England and Ireland. They rose against George II of Great Britain (the Jacobite Rising of 1745) but they were decisively defeated by Prince William, Duke of Cumberland in the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The British Army then carried out the so-called "pacification" of the rebel areas, killing everyone who was suspected of taking part in the Jacobite Rising and deporting those who were suspected of supporting the rebels. Soon thereafter, the government also banned the tartan and kilt that were an important part of clan identity with an aim to eliminate the threat of future Jacobite uprisings. Only the Highland regiments were legally allowed to wear the traditional dress until 1782 when the ban was lifted.
Rehabilitation of the Clan Culture
The dress restrictions in the mid-18th century worked and by the 19th century, tartan was largely abandoned. But the early 19th century also saw rehabilitation of the clan culture, mainly due to the Scottish Romanticism and works of James Macpherson and Walter Scott. The latter also staged the visit of King George II wearing tartan kilt. This visit didn't only revitalise the interest in the traditional clan dress but it also made tartan kilt an important part of Scottish national identity.

Portland Becomes First Salmon-Safe City
Mayor Hales issues Salmon-Safe challenge to other West Coast citiesRead More…
Phone: 503-823-4120
1221 SW 4th Avenue, Room 340, Portland, OR 97204
The United Nations Environment Programme has selected Portland to host this year's North American World Environment Day.
A variety of public events will lead up to the World Environment Day celebration on June 5. Portland Mayor Charlie Hales made the announcement at a Portland City Council hearing today, along with Elisabeth Guilbaud-Cox, deputy director of the program, called UNEP.
"Portland has been selected because we at UNEP would like to put the spotlight on the city's environmental achievements," Guilbaud-Cox said. "Those achievements are reflected in the fact that this city is repeatedly ranked among the top 10 green cities in the United States. In our research, Portland is often rated the No. 1 green city in North America, an impressive accomplishment by any standard."
The city and the U.N. program are encouraging community groups, businesses, non-profit organizations and individuals to organize and participate in public events from Earth Day on April 22 to World Environment Day on June 5. Events will celebrate the environment and this year's World Environment Day theme "Reduce your Foodprint," aimed at reducing food waste.
Activities on June 5 will include an exhibition of the International Children's Painting Competition sponsored by Bayer Corp., and an interactive environmental workshop for high school students led by Dr. Mae C. Jemison, the nation's first female African-American astronaut.
"Portland is a national leader in many sustainability issues and green initiatives," Hales said. "It's gratifying that the United Nations Environment Programme recognizes that and has honored us by bring World Environment Day to Portland."
The UN General Assembly established World Environment Day in 1972. Today, it is celebrated in more than 120 nations and focuses international attention on environmental issues.

Undergraduate FAQs
FOR ANSWERS TO MOST QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONSULT THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG AT http://catalog.wcupa.edu/undergraduate/
ADVISING and SCHEDULING CLASSES
What is the "Enrollment Appointment" that appears on my MyWCU page? Is that an appointment with my academic advisor?
No, it is not an appointment with your advisor. It is the first day/hour that you are permitted to register for course for the next semester. You should see your advisor before this day/time so that you can plan out a schedule and so that your advisor can "unlock" your account.
How can I find out who my academic advisor is?
Your academic advisor (and his/her phone number) is listed on your MyWCU page (on the right side of the page).
How can I find out when my advisor has office hours?
You may contact them directly (via phone, as listed on your MyWCU page, or via e-mail). A list of all Psychology faculty is also available outside the Psychology Department Office (PB 02). The list includes the names of all department faculty, their office locations, their phone numbers, their e-mail addresses, and a list of their office hours for the current semester.
Why is there an advisor hold on my account? I can't register for courses with this hold.
Because students are required to be in contact with their advisors before they attempt to schedule courses. Your advisor will have to "unlock" your account after you've spoken to them regarding your scheduling plans, etc.
Why is there an advisor hold on my account for the semester I am graduating?
The advisor hold is an automatic process. It does not distinguish between graduating and non-graduating students. In addition, if you have financial aid, you are required to complete an exit interview.
My advisor unlocked my access to scheduling but I still can't enroll in classes. Why?
You may have a hold on your account. Holds can be placed on accounts by the Registrar's Office for a number of reasons. For example, if you have an outstanding bill at the Student Health and Wellness Center or you have not returned an overdue library book or you have unpaid parking tickets, your access to scheduling will be blocked. You should contact the Bursar's Office to pay an outstanding obligations.
What's the difference between dropping a course and withdrawing from a course?
How do I calculate my GPA (cumulative or major)?
How do I appeal a grade?
My GPA is below 2.0 and I received a letter indicating that I am on academic probation. What should I do now?
What is the university policy with respect to plagiarism and academic dishonesty? What are the penalties and what should I do if I am accused of cheating by a professor?
Is there a limit on the number of courses I can repeat?
If I repeat a course, how are both grades counted?
Can I repeat a course at another university?
What courses can I take pass/fail?
I heard that if I have an A in a course, I don't have to take the final exam. Is this true?
How do I make the dean's list?
Why do I have to take a foreign language and how many courses do I have to take?
The foreign language requirement is a degree requirement. That is, a foreign language is required for all Bachelor of Arts students. There are multiple ways to meet the foreign language requirement for Psychology majors. One way is to pass any language course at the 202 level. If you were to begin studying a language at the Introductory (101) level, this would involve taking 4 courses: 101, 102, 201, and 202. Four courses are not absolutely necessary, however. If you have a strong enough language background to skip some of the earlier courses (e.g., 101 and/or 102), you may do so. You just need to pass the 202 level. The other possibility is to pass any language at the 102 level (taking 101 and 102 or just 102) and then take culture cluster courses. You must take culture cluster courses that are consistent with the language you studied (i.e., Spanish culture clusters, French culture clusters, German culture clusters, etc.). If your last language course is at the 102 level (the minimum required), you must take 3 culture cluster courses. If you complete/pass a language course at the 201 level, you may take 2 culture cluster courses instead of the 202 language course.
I took a Math statistics course. Do I still have to take a Psychology statistics course?
That depends. If you have a math course (other than statistics) that can meet the General Education requirement (i.e., MAT 103 or higher) in addition to the MAT 121 (Statistics) course, then you may, with permission, use the MAT 121 course toward the Psychology statistics requirement. However, if you do so you will have to take an extra Psy elective as 48 Psychology credits are required for the Psychology degree. If the statistics course (MAT 121) is the only Math course you've completed, it cannot count toward both your General Education math requirement and the Psychology statistics requirement. You need to either take the Psychology statistics course (Psy 245) or you need to take another math course to meet your General Education requirement. If you choose to take another math course, you will still need to take an additional Psychology elective (as 48 Psychology credits are required for the Psychology degree).
What do I have to do to prepare for graduation? How do I apply for graduation?
I have completed all of my specific degree requirements. Why can't I graduate?
Because you have not completed 120 credits (the minimum number of credits required for graduation from any PA state university).
I have completed 120 credits. Why can't I graduate?
Because you have not completed all of your specific requirements (see the advising sheet for specific requirements).
What GPA is required to receive graduation honors?
Can I take courses at another university and transfer the credit? How many credits can I transfer?
I took a diversity/writing emphasis/interdisciplinary course at my previous university and the course transferred in to WCU. Why do I have to take another? Why are some courses recognized as interdisciplinary courses?
Diverse Community (J) and Writing Emphasis (W) designations do not transfer in to WCU. There is no way for WCU to know if the courses at another university actually meet all of the criteria required for those designations at WCU. The same is sometimes true for Interdisciplinary (I) courses. That is, some transfer courses are given "199" credit instead of the standard course credit because the appropriate standard course is an interdisciplinary course at WCU (and if credit for the standard course is given, the interdisciplinary , "I", designation would automatically apply). This happens if WCU is unable to determine if the course being transferred in actually meets all of the criteria for an "I" designation. If a course transfers in, however, as a course that is a recognized interdisciplinary (I) course at WCU, the "I" designation does apply.
If you believe that one of your transfer courses should earn the "J", "W", or "I" designations, you may petition the university for it. Please see your advisor of the department chairperson or assistant chairperson for assistance with this process.
Does WCU offer any scholarships? If so, how can I apply?
I'm planning to buy a computer to use for my school work. Is there a particular type of computer I need to buy? Or, are there specific requirements I need to consider?
Can I take a graduate course?

H.A.S. students enjoy winter campout
A small, hardy band of students from Highland Adventist School in Elkins recently survived an overnight campout in which the temperature dropped to the single digits during the night.
"We have students who consider it a real adventure to learn how to survive outdoors in all kinds of weather," Cheryl Jacko, principal, said. "This year we took a small group of students out during one of the coldest nights of the winter. We got a little cold, but we survived. You never know when you might need a skill like that."
Students on the campout learned how to build a fire in the snow, the importance of a really good sleeping bag, why you need insulation under your sleeping bag, why you should avoid getting damp and wet in cold weather, how to layer clothing for warmth, the importance of a fire, why huddling with a group is warmer than huddling by yourself and many other cold-weather survival skills. Even though they admitted being cold a time or two during the night, all the students stated they enjoyed their cold weather camping adventure and would sign up to try it again.
Highland Adventist School in Elkins provides a wide variety of outdoor skills training adventures to students in grades K-12. For more information visit the school website at www.highlandadventistschool.org.

Back in Black
The Pirates
The Penguins
The Steelers
are my favorite professional sports teams. They play in the city I love and proudly don the colors black and gold. The tradition and longevity of the colors are synonymous with the Steel City and have been a staple to Pittsburgh's lifestyle.
This week a new team was on the block, sporting the black and gold.
The West Virginia basketball team. They announced that a black alternate jersey would be worn during the season earlier in the year and I was very excited. The tri fecta of black and gold expanded to a quadrilateral in terms of my favorite teams.
On Wednesday the Mountaineers busted out the jerseys in a game against Rutgers. WVU bounced back from their first loss of the season on New Years Day to rout the Scarlet Knights 86-52. It was great to see the team come out in sync for the huge victory.
The Mountaineers have a legit shot to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Currently ranked 8th in the country with a 12-1 record, WVU is poised and confident after that win on Wednesday. The road won't be easy and they will have to play their best game in and game out to get through the rigorous Big East schedule.
The only problem with the Mountaineers making a run at the Final Four is that it will coincide greatly with Spring Training! As I'm watching the development of the Pirates roster the Mountaineers will be lighting up the scoreboard during March Madness. However I do welcome both teams to win win and win. With the NCAA Championship game being played on April 4th and Opening Day baseball on April 5th good things will occur that week. It may be too much for me to handle.

Didn't your Pirates start off hot last season? Their is a Steubenville Grad playing for the WVU Womens Basketball team, Liz Repella.
wow your pittsburgh teams are all alined.. how easy for fans! You can just wear black and yellow to any game in the city >.
They all wear yellow and black. Hopefully the Pirates will break out of their losing season streak.

the Steelers are the first professional team I ever hated! The second pro team I ever hated is the Phillies. The Dodgers third. I can explain the baseball side of that. Your Steelers? I'm not sure how that came about but I'm sure it was because of that sick 70's dynasty. We're cool though ; )
I think that's genius. I wish every city had official colors that their respective teams adopted. Seems like such an obvious idea, and yet I've never heard of any other town doing it.
How cool is that to have the same colors! Love the enthusiasm that comes thru in your post for your teams.
Hey Matt! I finally got back to my blog after a while off the blogosphere. Yours is one of the first blogs I felt I should really check up on. Your pride for Pittsburgh sports is awesome and admirable. The new West Virginia jersey is actually really nice. I really love the black and gold myself.

GV Now
GVS(You) Week will celebrate giving
Posted on February 17, 2014
From February 17-21, students across campus can celebrate the thousands of donors, including alumni and current students, who support and give to Grand Valley every year.
The Future Alumni Association will host the second annual GVS(You) Week to raise awareness about donors. Last year, nearly 16,000 people donated to the university.
"The week was created as a fun way for students to learn about the importance of donating to our university," said Emma Lazzar, president of FAA. "Students can share appreciation with private donors for their continued dedication and involvement in Grand Valley's future."
During the week, posters and banners with facts about the scope of private gifts of support will adorn landmarks and buildings on the Allendale and Pew Grand Rapids campuses. The week will kick off with a Hot Chocolate Social at the Cook Carillon Tower from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18.
On February 19 and 20, from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., students can write personal messages, thanking donors for their commitment to Grand Valley. A table will be set up in the lobby of the Kirkhof Center February 19 and in the DeVos Center February 20. The thank you notes will be sent directly to donors.
Throughout the week, students can win prizes by using the hashtag #Laker4aLifetime on Twitter whenever they spot a GVS(You) poster or banner on campus.
Lazzar said the goal is to spread awareness and show students what it means to be a Laker for a Lifetime. "They can do this by sharing their time and talents through events like Community Outreach Week or with their treasure by taking advantage of the T. Haas Challenge and supporting future Lakers with the Student Legacy Scholarship Fund," she said.
For more information, visit the FAA website at www.gvsu.edu/faa. Learn more about being a Laker For a Lifetime at www.gvsu.edu/lakerforalifetime.

Charles Ramsey, the man who helped rescue the Cleveland captives, is now immortalized in a tattoo.
Local tattoo artist Rodney Rose told Cleveland TV station WJW he was so impressed by Ramsey's recent heroics, that he offered a free tattoo of Ramsey's face to the first bidder.
"He's kind of like that public figure in Cleveland right now, kind of the voice and face of it," Rose, a tattoo artist at 252 Tattoo, told WJW. "He's such an expressive guy, I figured it'd make a great tattoo."
A fellow tattoo artist by the name of Stephen Munhollon took him up on his offer.
He now has Ramsey's face inked on the back of his right calf after a five-hour session in Rose's studio.
Munhollon told WJW he's already gotten stopped several times because of the tattoo. Some people have even asked to get their pictures taken with it.
"It goes to show there are good people out there from all walks of life, from all corners of the city," he said.

- Kostovski, Gorgi; Chinnasamy, Udayakumar; Jayawardhana, Sasani; Stoddart, Paul R.; Mitchell, Arnan
- Abstract
- We demonstrate the parallel patterning of multiple optical-fiber facets using nanoimprint lithography on a novel platform. A resolution of better than 15 nm is demonstrated and up to 40 optical-fiber facets have been imprinted in parallel. The lithography platform features a self-alignment mechanism (see figure) that greatly relaxes the mechanical requirements, allowing for the demonstration of a compact, portable imprinting-module and the accommodation of non-planar, biological molds. The imprinted fibers are metalized and employed as bi-directional probes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
