New NPS Smokies Backcountry Map - "No Horsing Around Here"
As of February 13, 2013, Great Smoky Mountains National Park requires a permit and reservation for all backcountry camping in the park. Prior to that only certain campsites required reservations and those were designated on the Trail Map and Guide with red (technically, magenta) numbers. The others were shown in green. In the list of the campsites on the reverse side of the map, bold type was used for the names of the site to designate those that required reservations.
The new October 2012 Park Trail Map now uses magenta to designate a "Hiker only campsite" and green for a "Horse and hiker campsite." On the reverse side of the revised map a bold H designates those at which horses (and other pack animals) is allowed. (It is not clear why the "H" needs to be in bold type.)
It is not necessary to count my teeth to verify that I am a mere 2 years and 22 days away from being 70 years old. So I maybe have an excuse. But I can't help but think even younger backpackers will be confused with the recycling of the use of red and green and bold type.
To help us in the transition to the new reservation system and to avoid mistakenly hitching our horse up at the wrong place, I plan to suggest to Great Smoky Mountains Association and, if necessary, National Park Service leadership the use of pictographs similar to those pictured below. We are using those to update our maps. To my knowledge there is no official NPS symbol for "no horses allowed," just the one used for "no horses allowed on certain trails" (see photo).
Okay... there are at least two hitches that come to mind that would need to be plowed through: 1) the size and scale of the Park map would not easily accommodate the use of my jumbo-sized "no horses allowed at this campsite" symbol and 2) the NPS cartographer appear to have to adhere strictly to the use approved pictographs only.
One solution regarding the first hurdle would be for the NPS to produce a slightly larger map and charge say $5 (plus a free PDF download) to take its place. The current map is $1. (We have been including the Park Trail Map for free in the printed fishing map sets we sell, but that might have to change.). If the enlarged map was designed well enough, I think most Park visitors wouldn't mind terribly inserting a fiver in the slot of honor system boxes.
Finally, I am planning to contact Trails Illustrated to see where they stand in revising their three maps of the Park.

Out of the list of bad things that come out of all the new backcountry regulations, the only good thing is that a hiker is now allowed to stay a horse camps. While I haven't heard of it ever being enforced before, it is nice that a fisherman can now stay at 36 closer to the headwaters of Big Creek.
Why are the horses not charged to go overnight? My 3 year olds are. They don't leave quagmires and erosion everywhere and rough up the trails, and tear up the campsites. They don't leave huge piles of **** everywhere.
It's funny you picked that sign Joe Fred. I was just there hiking with the family a couple weekends ago, and Thomas who is now proving to be a real stickler for the rules and likes to point out for everybody
Young Thomas is my kinda guy. Thanks for sharing.
Yesterday (Thursday) I was able to meet with a very professional and curteous ranger at park headquarters who listened intently as I went down the list of things on the revised Trail Map I thought needed attention and who confirmed he understood the points being made. As we went though he actually typed each item in an e-mail. When we finished, he promptly sent the e-mail to the person who was made responsible for coordinating the change over to the new backcountry reservation system. Afterward I shared my thoughts about NPS producing a somewhat larger map. Both of us doubt seriously that would ever happen.
The ranger provided me a printed version of the revised map. It has 2012 in the lower right. The online version still has 2011 on the revised map. Other than the date being changed on the printed version, there were no other obvious changes. It may well that will be the case for a while given the budget cutting that recently went into effect.
The ranger mentioned that there will be an insert in each of the new maps as printed, which – I am guessing – is like what I was given at the Sevierville GSMNP welcome center earlier in the day (see below).

Technology UpdateThe Past, Present and Future of DDR4 Memory Interfaces
The latest DDR4 SDRAM memory standard offers significant performance benefits for SoC designers. Graham Allan, senior product marketing manager for DDR at Synopsys, discusses some of the challenges that design teams face in making the change from DDR3.
DDR4 SDRAM is the latest JEDEC standard for commodity DRAM. It supports a higher range of data transfer rates and lower voltages than previous standards. While JEDEC has specified this latest standard primarily with servers, PCs and laptops in mind, we anticipate manufacturers to favor DDR4 for some portable embedded products, such as tablets. In the long term, DDR4 will be significantly less expensive than specialty low-power memories, such as LPDDR2 and LPDDR3, and will waterfall into mobile applications where the form factor and battery allow.
Overcoming DDR4 Technical Challenges DDR4 has had a long gestation, taking seven years to standardize within the JEDEC memory standard committees. The technical challenges facing DDR4 have been significant, primarily because the standard must support very high data rates – up to 230 Gbps of maximum bandwidth for a 72-bit wide data bus. DDR4 has approximately 20 new features and as a result is more complex than the previous standard, DDR3. Because of its complexity, DDR4 SDRAM products come to market later than expected, but we expect compatible SDRAMs to start shipping in volume next year.
We have been working with JEDEC for some time to enable us to launch our memory interface IP to coincide with the increase in market demand for DDR4. To meet this schedule, we started to develop DDR4-compatible products before the standard was actually finalized.
In the past, creating a DDR memory interface was an in-house design task of significant complexity. The design team would have to procure a memory controller, assemble the IP components to create a PHY, source I/Os and a PLL from various IP vendors, and then integrate, test and achieve timing closure for the logic and layout. As the DDR data rates increased with DDR2 and DDR3, achieving timing closure without a hard solution for the PHY became more and more difficult using a standard ASIC flow. Design teams quickly recognized the benefits of being able to source a complete, integrated, tested and compliant memory interface solution, incorporating a hard PHY, from a single vendor. Synopsys recognized that offering an integrated DDR memory interface solution would enable design teams to focus their engineering efforts on tasks that added differentiated value to their designs.
We have continued to support a broad range of process technologies with our hard DDR PHY solution, offering an off-the-shelf product that design teams can use with a minimum amount of engineering effort. As a result, Synopsys is a DDR IP market leader with over 330 design wins for its DDR PHYs and controllers.
Easing the Transition from DDR3 to DDR4 When a design team is faced with the transition to a new standard, it is imperative that they minimize the risks involved in making that step. One way that Synopsys supports technology transitions is by creating flexible IP that is backward-compatible. Synopsys DesignWare® DDR4 IP is compatible with DDR3 memory. In fact, the Synopsys DDR4 IP is also compatible with LPDDR2 and LPDDR3 memories that primarily target mobile applications such as smartphones. This enables design teams to use the same, familiar DDR memory interface with low-power memory, and take advantage of cheaper, faster DDR4 memory for applications that don't justify the extra investment in low-power memory. By supporting DDR4, DDR3 and LPDDR2/3 in a single IP product, the DesignWare DDR solution enables designers to interface with either high-performance or low-power SDRAMs in the same SoC, which is a key requirement of applications processors for smartphones and tablets.
Figure 1: Synopsys DesignWare DDR Memory Interface IP architecture
In order to facilitate interoperability between internally developed controllers or PHYs, a standard DFI 3.1 interface connects the memory controller and PHY for maximum flexibility.
DDR4 introduces some subtle restrictions with new timing parameters, which can affect performance if the design team doesn't account for them. It also incorporates more features than DDR3, including data bus inversion (DBI), an idea borrowed from the Intel P4 front-side bus. Due to the new VDDQ termination, the DDR4 data bits consume a maximum amount of power if they are driven low and none if they are driven high. DBI limits how many signals can be driven low at any one time to avoid a worst-case power situation. DBI also provides a performance benefit since it reduces Synchronously Switching Output (SSO) noise by limiting the number of data bits that can switch at the same time during any given cycle.
Maintaining DDR Signal Integrity One of the challenges when designing a DDR memory interface is that there are no standards for the memory controller or the physical channel – all we have to reference is the specification for the DRAM itself. That is in contrast to other interfaces, like USB and PCI Express, and other leading serial interface protocols. Without a specification, design teams don't necessarily know exactly what they should be paying attention to when they integrate the IP, and that can lead to problems at extremely high data rates. Signal integrity problems can emerge because the board design isn't quite right, or there are insufficient power and ground connections on the chip, or any combination of issues.
Our experience of working with high-performance designs, primarily as a result of providing hard PHYs over a number of years, enables our IP and design services to recognize and address signal integrity issues. We offer a signal integrity report service, which was created to fit in with customer design reviews, to help identify potential issues. We can help to analyze timing issues and take corrective action before the design team commits the design to hardware.
Improving DDR4 Performance and Utilization We have designed the DDR4 multiPHY Memory Interface with built-in system monitoring and control. By monitoring traffic patterns, the IP can selectively shut down elements of the IP, which reduces power consumption and prolongs battery life.
The DesignWare DDR4 IP is designed for 28-nanometer (nm) processes and beyond. Moving to faster processes enables the use of fewer pipeline stages, which, along with some changes in functionality, helped us to achieve up to 50% lower latency than the DDR3 generation of designs.
One of the key tasks for the memory controller is to optimize execution of the commands queuing at each of the input ports. Like controlling the traffic at a multi-way intersection, the memory controller is like a traffic cop – it decides which "car" to let through first, preventing each queue from backing up too much, allowing emergency vehicles to take priority, and ensuring that the traffic flows as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
To control traffic, most of the memory controllers on the market use a FIFO for each bank of the SDRAM array. However, FIFOs have a fundamental constraint ‒ they can only see the instruction at the head of each queue. The DesignWare DDR4 Memory Controller uses content-addressable memory (CAM) to optimize the scheduling of the memory access commands. The CAM can see the contents of the queue beyond the first instruction. As a result, this unique CAM-based DDR controller can optimize the scheduling of data read/write traffic from multiple hosts, maximizing performance, minimizing latency and improving utilization of the maximum theoretical bandwidth of the interface.
Looking to the Future of DDR4 It's a common misconception that DDR4 memory will support its maximum 3200 Mbps data rate from the start. In fact, the current DDR4 JEDEC standard and planned memory vendor offerings only cover DDR4 SDRAMs up to 2400Mbps. The DDR4 SDRAM roadmap supports a transition to higher data rates and lower costs, culminating in memories offering twice the performance of the current generation of DDR3 designs, but this will be a progressive release of higher performance products over several years. Synopsys will develop higher-performance hard PHYs to handle the greater data rates in line with this roadmap.
Beyond DDR4, the industry is getting to the end of the line of what can be achieved using wide parallel interfaces to SDRAM. Having large numbers of parallel pins presents a growing connectivity challenge between application processors and memory chips sitting side-by-side on a board. These challenges manifest themselves in routing congestion, signal integrity issues, pad-limited designs, increased power consumption and manufacturing expense.
Consensus opinion points to the use of stacked die and through-silicon vias (TSVs) as a future solution to the problem of connecting massively parallel interfaces.
Stacking devices in one package makes a large number of connections available without having to pin out the I/O and connect it through the PCB. Stacking opens up the possibility of having thousands of connections, enabling slower but wider interfaces that deliver even more bandwidth. Although these technologies are beginning to emerge, it will be another five to ten years before this technology matures sufficiently to become economically viable, although some commentators believe the maturation will be faster.
"Synopsys' support for DDR4 memory is an important contribution to building a robust DDR4 ecosystem. DDR4 brings substantial power and performance benefits to the industry, and Micron is aggressively driving its introduction. By implementing its DesignWare DDR Interface IP with backward compatibility in mind, Synopsys is enabling chip developers to bridge the transition from today's DDR3-based SoCs to the upcoming DDR4 designs."Robert Feurle, vice president of DRAM marketing for Micron Technology, Inc.

SHR GG start your DVR'S....Daytona Testing
SPEED and SPEED.com offer live coverage of the Jan. 10-12 test session in its entirety with SPEED live from all afternoon sessions and SPEED.com streaming all morning sessions.
Darrell Waltrip, a NASCAR on FOX and SPEED analyst who will cover Daytona testing for SPEED, says he will be watching for parity among the manufacturers with the new Cup Series race car. Waltrip points out that the new car, given its current uncertainties, potentially could tip the scale in favor of one manufacturer over another, at least temporarily.
"With the new rules, there are no guarantees these cars will be equal," Waltrip said. "They've been tested in the wind tunnel and they've been aerodynamically matched up the best they can, but there is no guarantee these cars will all be equal. When you look at the variances in the bodies this year compared to the past, one manufacturer could wind up with a huge advantage at Daytona, and that's something NASCAR will be keeping an eye on at the test."
John Roberts, Jeff Hammond and Matt Clark host SPEED's on-air coverage from the studio above pit road at the start/finish line at Daytona. Steve Byrnes calls the on-track action during the morning sessions (9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET) on SPEED.com alongside analysts Kyle Petty and Kenny Wallace, while Hermie Sadler and Wendy Venturini handle reporting duties. Rick Allen assumes the play-by-play chair for the afternoon sessions (1-3 p.m. ET and 3-5 p.m. ET) while the NASCAR on FOX and SPEED crew of Waltrip and Larry McReynolds take over the TV booth duties. Bob Dillner and Matt Yocum report from pit road and the garage.
SPEED invites fans to submit questions and comments through Twitter @SPEED (http://www.twitter.com/speed) using the #daytonatesting hashtag during the test sessions to be answered on-air and on Twitter. In addition, special driver chat sessions will be held after testing is complete on Thursday night on Daytona's Twitter and Facebook pages (http://www.twitter.com/disupdates and http://www.facebook.com/DaytonaInternationalSpeedway).
Special editions of NASCAR Race Hub will air Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m. ET from Daytona with Byrnes, Danielle Trotta, McReynolds and Matt Clark recapping all the on- and off-track action. Furthermore, NASCAR Race Hub again offers new episodes from the SPEED Studios Jan. 21-24 at 6 p.m. ET during the Charlotte Motor Speedway Sprint Media Tour. The program's 2013 season premiere is slated for Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. ET (Monday-Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET).

Very Versatile Teaching Set
By My Four Monkeys
from Richmond, VA
The Measuring Motors teaching set has really improved my seven-year-old's understanding of measurements and how they relate to each other. Sometimes a child can have a difficult time visualizing how measurements relate to each other. Is an inch larger or smaller than a yard? A foot? And while they may know the right answer, being able to visualize these measurements in real life can help them not only retain the information, but understand why. The Measuring Motors set comes complete with 4 interlocking road track pieces, and 88 durable, chunky plastic cars in varying sizes and colors. I really love how the track pieces are marked in 1" increments showing how each car is a certain number of inches. The cars sizes are in 1, 2, and 3 inch increments. Teaching measurements, comparisons, and number stories is easier than ever with Measuring Motors! This set can also be used for sorting, color practice, and teaching patterns. The bright colors and chunky pieces makes it fun and easy to use for little hands. My three-year-old enjoys playing with Measuring Motors like any car/track set and it gives me a chance to work on his colors and patterns. This set is so versatile and great for a variety of ages and concepts!*I received this product free of charge for the purpose of my review.*
Turns Math Into a Roadway Adventure
By Melissa ~ Mommy Living the Life of Riley
from Houston, TX
There are a ton of activities to get your child's motor revving, but since Riley doesn't quite meet the recommended age of 4 to 8 years old, I decided to let her explore on her own, with a little occasional facilitation from me. I was really impressed at how much she enjoyed lining these colorful cars up along the track! It also didn't take her long to discover that some of these cars were shorter than others, but if you combined them just right, the lengths would match.Although it's not mentioned on their site, I think this toy is a wonderful tool for teaching fractions to children as well. For instance, when Riley noticed that three of the small cars equaled the length of one of the large cars, I explained that the short car was 1/3 the size of the large one. It helped so much having a great visual there to teach the difficult concept of fractions...especially to a 3-year-old, but I honestly think Riley understood. I'm also trying to show her the beginnings of measuring something by lining up the front of the object with the first yellow tick mark and counting the spaces between tick marks to get a standard measurement.The best part is, Riley is actually having a blast learning her new math skills with the Measuring Motors set. There's just something about incorporating a great deal of brightly-colored plastic cars into the mix that makes anything more fun to learn! If you have a preschooler that could benefit from a little guided math practice, then by all means test drive the new Measuring Motors Math Activity Set from Learning Resources!
My Little Boy Loves This
By Dragonfly Sweetnest
from South Webster, OH
My little boy went absolutely nuts when he saw this on the kitchen table as he got home from school. So of course, with all of the excitement, I had to open it. I was really shocked with all of the cars. There are so many and with four different bold colors and three sizes they are visually appealing to adults, and stimulating to children. The cars are very durable, you don't have to worry about them getting broken in anyway. There are also 4 sections of road that can be put together to run the cars on.I love that these cars can be used to teach your little one how to sort by colors or by size. Also you can teach them how to do a pattern like blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow, red and so on. You can also use the cars to do a little adding and subtracting, as well as measurements. I am really surprised that I was able to keep my little boys attention for so long. He is really hyper so having something that really works towards his interest and he learns makes me one happy mom.These sets were what we used to look forward to using in grade school, and this is brought to you by the same company that supplied the schools all those years ago, and continues to do so today. High quality educational fun, with a kick of nostalgia thrown in, you gotta love that.

The Crossroads of Texas Living History Association and Presidio La Bahía will stage a reenactment of the occupation of the fort under the command of Col. James Walker Fannin, and the subsequent Goliad Massacre that claimed the lives of Fannin and 341 of his men on the morning of Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836.
The event has been held annually for nearly three decades and has become a favorite of the public. Last year, more than 4,500 people were in attendance and included visitors from countries around the world. Many schools, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and families alike will attend so that all can experience the unique reenactment and celebration of Texas history.
Throughout Saturday, battles will take place around the fort. There will be the sound of musket fire and cannon roar and the air will be full of black powder smoke. The reenactors will be dressed in attire specific to the period of the Texas Revolution. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit with reenactors and ask them about the roles they are reliving as well as attend lectures in the 234-year-old Our Lady of Loreto Chapel.
Saturday evening candlelight tours will be conducted through the barracks, the Mexican officers' quarters, and there will be a hospital scene in the chapel where Texian prisoners will be held.
On Sunday, the death march will begin inside the presidio walls and proceed to one of the sites where the massacre actually took place. The program will conclude with a memorial service that will begin in the chapel and be followed by a procession to the Fannin Monument.
Daily admission is $4 for ages 12-59, $3.50 for ages 60 and older, and $1 for children ages 6-11. For children 5 years old or younger, there will be no charge. Tickets to the candlelight tour can be purchased with admission for an additional $2 per person.

I have a friend who has twins, one boy and girl who were born a day after Norah. They're beautiful and healthy and she is eager to get them back to the breast.
They were breastfed for 4 weeks, a mixture of nursing on Mom and EBM in bottles. Mom started BC pills and also went back into the hospital with blood clots, nearly dying. When the stash ran out, the babies were started on formula.
When she came home she was still nursing, but her supply was gone. She continued to nurse the girl for another 4 weeks with no milk at all. The little boy showed a preference for the bottle, I think.
Anyway, she has a pediatrician who just put her los on rice cereal and they are not even four months yet. When I told her it seemed too early for cereal, she seemed really concerned (and is considering switching peds) and really interested in relactating.
She's worried though, that the girl was nursing for 4 weeks with no milk, why the stimulation was not sending the message to make milk.
I already emailed her the sticky on this forum with all the articles as well as responses to recent posts, but any info. tailored to her situation would be helpful. Thanks!

TCL > July 2013 Issue > W. Terry Ruckriegle—Tested Trial Judge Takes on New Role
About the Author
Sara Crocker is the communications specialist for the Colorado and Denver Bar Associations and is editor of The Docket, the official publication of the Denver Bar Association—(303) 824-5347, email@example.com.
As a relatively new judge, Terry Ruckriegle was assigned a case involving a woman accused of murdering her husband. In 1987, it was the first time he had Colorado media request to have cameras in the courtroom.
His colleagues on the bench in other judicial districts advised him to let the media in. "A bigger case will come along some time where you will have to be facing all these issues, so do it now and learn what all the pros and cons are," Ruckriegle said, recalling the counsel of his peers.
In 2003, when Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault in Eagle County, he would find out just how right they were. Ruckriegle, then chief judge of the Fifth Judicial District, would preside over the case involving the L.A. Lakers shooting guard. It was complex for a number of reasons, most notably because of rape shield laws in effect and the frenzied media coverage.
"By that time, I had tried five or six cases where cameras were allowed in the courtroom and media people were there regularly and reporting on the case. But whatever I thought I knew was insignificant compared to all the issues we were going to have to deal with in Bryant," he said.
To manage the media and the public's desire for constant information about the case, it was the first time in Colorado the court posted documents online the same day, providing unprecedented access to the proceedings. It was timely dissemination of information and alleviated the need to hire an estimated ten extra clerks to assemble, copy, and release filings in hard copy. But the online access also led to errors: The accuser's name was mistakenly released three times. These were unfortunate missteps, Ruckriegle said, but it reinforced a lesson he learned as an Eagle Scout and would be taken back to again and again throughout his legal career: Be prepared.
"My biggest attraction about the law is that it's a never-ending learning process. . . . You need to still keep doing your homework," he said. "It's about skills that, until you're in the fray of a case, you don't know where the pitfalls are going to be."
Goals for the CBA
Ruckriegle, 65, is the 2013–14 CBA President. He is expected to bring to his role as the association's leader the same thoughtful preparation and planning that has aided him in the practice of law and judgeship.
The Breckenridge-based mediator and senior judge plans to focus on issues relating to young lawyers, their employment challenges, and the financial burden they assume. Ruckriegle worked his way through law school at the University of Indiana–Indianapolis by taking weekend shifts at the law library. When he arrived in Colorado, he worked in private practice, taught paralegal courses, and studied for a master's in law and society. He understands the costs—both financial and personal—that the legal profession can demand. During his term as CBA president, Ruckriegle wants to explore a loan forgiveness program that would allow new lawyers to work to pay down or erase their debt. Likewise, he wants to continue to provide and highlight practical continuing legal education courses and pro bono opportunities that offer hands-on, real-world applications of skills to help new attorneys ease into their first years of practice.
For Ruckriegle, it also is important to continue to support the programs he says make the CBA and its educational arm, CBA-CLE in Colorado, one of the strongest bar associations and best CLE entities in the country. Ruckriegle has served on the CBA-CLE Board for more than five years, the last two as president.
"I'm looking forward to having the opportunity of receiving the baton and continuing with a number of the valuable programs in the Colorado Bar Association," Ruckriegle said.
For example, Immediate Past President Mark Fogg put a strong emphasis on mentoring during his term. He worked with the bar and courts to develop a mentoring pilot project, which evolved into the Colorado Attorney Mentoring Program, directed by former Denver Bar Association President John Baker.
"We are ahead of other states in the sense that we have a top-notch person appointed through the Colorado Supreme Court who is at the helm of the mentoring program," Ruckriegle said. "We're way out front."
Bar–Bench Relations and Advancing Professionalism
As a senior judge, Ruckriegle hopes to further networking and educational opportunities between attorneys and jurists, which he calls "bar–bench relations," to improve these relationships and, in turn, advance professionalism. How attorneys interact with each other and their communities has been a hot topic among members during the past year, particularly with the launch of Legal Professionalism Month last October. Ruckriegle currently is involved with the Litigation Section of the American Bar Association's Judicial Division and in the past participated in the CBA's Judicial Liaison Section, both of which work to improve the judiciary and encourage strong bar–bench relations.
"I think Judge Ruckriegle will bring a national perspective that will be very beneficial and [have] a very impactful influence on the ability of the judiciary and the bar association to communicate," said Nineteenth Judicial District (J.D.) Administrator Karen Salaz.
Ruckriegle also wants members to continue to support and advance Colorado Lawyers for Colorado Veterans—a program founded by CBA members and headed by DBA President-Elect John Vaught, which provides veterans and their families access to attorneys at monthly events around the state. Involvement in one's community, including performing pro bono services, is an important commitment to Ruckriegle, who served as a member of Empire's town council for seven years, as well as participating on various nonprofit boards. During his travels to the local bar associations throughout the state, he hopes to encourage an ongoing discussion about pro bono and modest means representation, along with other goals and priorities.
A "Focused" Childhood
William Terry Ruckriegle was born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana, the son of a teacher and a seamstress. His father suffered from kidney disease and passed away when Ruckriegle was 11. As a teen, he became "focused, driven, compulsed" to find himself. It led to interests in two areas that would stay with him.
He became an Eagle Scout at 13—a young age to attain the group's highest rank. Among the skills he developed in the scouts was target shooting. He won a few four-state regional small-bore rifle competitions in his youth. Today he continues to hunt elk, deer, turkey, and pheasant and is re-engaging in fly fishing.
Ruckriegle connected with one of his father's former students, who was an accomplished criminal defense attorney. That relationship ignited an interest that would put him on his chosen career path.
While at college and law school in Indiana, Ruckriegle stayed motivated toward a legal career, but took time off after his second year of law school when he was given the opportunity to teach economics and political science at Pahlavi University in Shiraz, Iran. When he returned from the Middle East, he traveled to Colorado, visiting friends in Idaho Springs, as well as other states he considered living in after law school. Colorado won his heart. He finished his final year of law school and then worked as staff attorney with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission before moving here. He enjoyed the work he did for the Commission, finding that a career in public service felt right to him.
"It was appealing to me because that was the era when the Civil Rights Act came into existence and needed to be enforced," he said, adding that he enjoyed the challenge and playing a role in righting wrongs. "It was a time when every little bit counted in terms of making a change."
A Career in Public Service
After working in private practice when he arrived in Colorado, Ruckriegle became a deputy district attorney (DA) in 1975 for the Fifth J.D. DA's Office. It was fast-paced, covering both county and district courts, and gave him the litigation experience he was seeking.
His breadth of cases at the DA's Office continually reminded him of the need to always keep learning. He recalls one case in particular that reinforced this. A man was accused of murdering his wife and covering it up by faking a car accident. Ruckriegle worked closely with Medical Examiner Dr. Ben Galloway, who determined that the victim had been hit in the head before the accident. Ruckriegle also learned that the man had previously stolen his car from a mechanic's garage and set it on fire before his wife's death; that piece of information, however, didn't make it into evidence.
Rule 404(b), dealing with admissibility of evidence, is "used now regularly . . . but at the time, there wasn't case law in Colorado that supported it," he said.
He challenged the issue in the Colorado Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, but to no avail. In the end, the man was acquitted.
"It was a case that totally changed the way I looked at investigating, preparing, and trying cases," he said. "It made me understand to the core . . . what law was all about. If you go to trial, it all comes down to the burden of proof."
After nine years in the DA's Office, Ruckriegle learned that his boss and mentor, Jack Healy, would not seek another term as the Fifth J.D. DA. Ruckriegle decided to run for DA. Months later, the legislature added a new district judge position in the Fifth J.D., and he was encouraged to apply. He decided he would pursue both.
Some questions arose about seeking two positions at the same time, but Ruckriegle said he felt he was qualified to do either job well and wanted to give both a shot, because the opportunity might not come again. Still, he said balancing a campaign for the DA's job and moving through the merit selection process for a month left him conflicted.
"I literally was doing both at the same time," he said. "It was schizophrenic."
In July 1984, Ruckriegle was appointed to the bench by Gov. Dick Lamm and bowed out of the DA's race.
"I had never really—even in my wildest dreams—thought of being on the bench. But the time that I had spent—between practice, the DA's Office, trying cases in the courtroom, and learning the rules of evidence and procedure—it clicked. It excited me," he said.
Ruckriegle is the second in a line of three CBA presidents with a public service background. CBA Immediate Past President Mark Fogg worked in the Denver DA's Office, starting as an intern in law school, before moving to private practice. CBA President-Elect Charley Garcia, who will succeed Ruckriegle in July 2014, worked as a public defender for twenty-five years and then served as Denver Manager of Safety and special counsel to the governor. Ruckriegle would like to see more attorneys who are in public service get involved with the CBA, where attorneys can address issues that impact the profession and affect policy.
"Other than the legislature, I think the bar association is the major incubator for addressing legal issues, whether in formulating new laws, developing policy, or through the continuing education process and teaching about the process," he said. "It gives you the opportunity to be either a leader or a participant regarding an issue or area of law you think needs to be advocated."
Stories From the Bench
In the twenty-six years that Ruckriegle sat on the bench, he became known for having a "tough-but-fair" attitude. He likes to reflect, though, that some who appeared in front of him probably felt he was the "'mean' part of demeanor."
He does have high expectations for those who appear in his court, but said it was something he learned from other judges when he was in practice and a prosecutor. It also tolled back to his memories as a scout and the need to always be ready for anything.
"In order for your side to have a fair hearing—for your position to be heard—you have to be prepared," Ruckriegle said. "You can't just argue it to death. You have to be convincing; that needs to be done both in terms of research of the law and communicating about what the specific facts of your case are."
Attorneys who appeared in front of him said he was straightforward about his expectations. "In court, he was a firm, motivating judge," said Ron Carlson of the Frisco-based firm Carlson, Carlson & Dunkelman. "He wanted things done well, he wanted things done correctly, he wanted things to move, and was a no-nonsense judge."
In the first few years on the bench, Ruckriegle worked to find his own rhythm, but found the advice of colleagues to be paramount: don't expect to make a lot of friends—especially in a rural area; remember your role is to enforce the rule of law; don't take cases under advisement; and take your vacations to avoid stress. "It's a very isolating position," he said, adding that the exposure in a small community is greater than in an urban area. However, he has enjoyed the opportunity to learn about so many different aspects of law—something that Fourteenth J.D. Chief Judge Michael O'Hara, whom Ruckriegle mentored, says is a challenge that Ruckriegle told him about when he was appointed to the bench in 2003.
During Ruckriegle's tenure, he presided over several notable cases, including an environmental pollution case where locals accused Aspen Ski Corporation (operating Breckenridge Ski Area) of polluting Cucumber Creek; a case against Jack Nicklaus over a high-altitude golf course; heart-breaking child abuse cases; and one that would rake in media attention before Kobe Bryant even entered the draft, let alone Eagle County: the murder of Colorado State Trooper Lyle Wohlers. This last case involved two minors accused of murdering Wohlers during a traffic stop in Georgetown in 1992. It was another time that Ruckriegle would be called on to manage the media in his courtroom.
"There was a lot of fanfare and media interest and an attempt to create a circus atmosphere," Galloway said.
In 2000, Ruckriegle was nominated for the Colorado Supreme Court.
"I felt I had a considerable amount of trial court experience that would be beneficial," he said, adding that he knew the other justices on the Court and believed he would work well with them. Although disappointed he was not selected, he was honored by the nomination.
"I had some very interesting and rewarding experiences as a trial judge after that," Ruckriegle said. "[Not being appointed to the high court] in some ways reinvigorated me to the work of a trial court bench."
Among those cases was Kobe Bryant's, which captured global attention. There was a "feeding frenzy" for information, Ruckriegle said. At one point, 1,100 media credentials, including requests from outlets in Italy where Bryant grew up, were requested, and 25% of motions filed were brought by members of the media.
"What I saw [during that case] was that [Judge Ruckriegle] put the case front and center and made sure that nobody's jobs got consumed by the firestorm of media," said defense attorney Pamela Mackey, who represented Bryant. "He was still the same trial judge that he'd always been—careful, thoughtful, and diligent—and he demanded that everyone did their jobs."
Ruckriegle maintained his full docket during the proceedings. "I don't know how he could manage the rest of his docket because he was hugely thorough," said Hal Haddon, who also represented Bryant.
Although some mistakes were made over of the course of the case, Ruckriegle said it was important to get information online and provide public access to rulings by the court and to actions in the Judicial Branch.
"I think [posting the documents] went a long way in providing a transparency that we previously hadn't had," said Karen Salaz, who was the public information officer for the Judicial Branch on Bryant's case. "I think that the public saw a side of the courts in Colorado they had never seen before. That, I think, has been really important as we have come forward."
Ruckriegle celebrated his twentieth year on the bench during jury selection for the case. Just as jury selection was wrapping up, the accuser asked prosecutors to drop the case, and the DA did. Ruckriegle was disappointed in not going to trial, calling it "justice abandoned, because the justice is in the process."
A Not-So-Quiet Retirement
Discussing music on air during "So Much Music, So Little Time," Terry with longtime friend and NBC producer David Michaels, in Idaho Springs in 2012.
The year 2014 will mark forty years that Ruckriegle has practiced law in Colorado. Since retiring from the bench in 2010, he has served as a senior judge. The senior judge program allows him to serve as a judge in judicial districts across the state sixty days out of the year, helping ensure cases move more quickly through the system. He also serves as a mediator, arbitrator, and special master. Moving to the role of mediator has been different from his other role as a judge.
"It's a lot harder in some ways to be a mediator than it is to be a judge," he said. "In mediation, you're trying to get parties to a resolution—a common-ground agreement where they can resolve their own conflict—as opposed to you telling them, 'Alright, I've heard what you had to say and this is what you're going to do.'"
Former staffers in Ruckriegle's Summit County court joke that he seems to have even more on his plate in retirement than he did as a judge. "Much to his wife's chagrin, his retirement has been more active," said Fifth J.D. staff attorney Philip Mervis.
Ruckriegle and his wife, Debbie, who married in 1979, are still making time for themselves in retirement—hiking, biking, skiing, and traveling in between his bar association leadership activities. They have three daughters: Stephanie, 29, a catering and events manager at the Denver Zoo; Heidi, 26, a law student in her third year at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law; and Sarah, 24, a public affairs officer in the Air Force.
Ruckriegle enjoys traveling the state as a part of the senior judge program, and has been to eleven of the state's twenty-two judicial districts. He'll travel the entire state in the next year, visiting local bar associations. "I'm truly looking forward to meeting and reengaging with the many leaders and members of the Colorado Bar Association around the state," he said.
Friends and colleagues say that his experience as a judge and his commitment to the profession make him well-equipped for his term as CBA president.
"His agreeing to be president of the bar association is sort of emblematic to me of his commitment to giving to his community," said former Colorado Judicial Department general counsel Kim Morss.
Mackey agreed. "He leads by example," she said. "There's nobody who works harder than he does."

That was the question Chapman students in pre-k through first grade explored last week as the 2013-2014 school year reached its 100th day.
Paired with older students, the youngsters tested their physical strength by seeing how many push-ups, sit-ups, toe-touches and jumping jacks they could do in 100 seconds, how many times they could bounce a ball or how many baskets they could shoot. There was a mini Frisbee golf course set up to test their throwing accuracy during a 100-second time period. There were maps with 100 countries in need of names, boxes of 100 parts to be assembled and a bulletin board needing suggestions of 100 nice things to say to others. Topping it off: eyeglasses in the shape of "100" through which to eye all the fun.

Okay, so a few questions here...
I went to my OB GYN Friday for my annual. I expressed my concern over not bring able to pump much milk for my LO which hinders me from being able to do much away from my LO for more than a few hours. Also, she isn't having many bowel movements (she goes a few days in between). She is fussy often and does not sleep well at night because she wants to nurse every few hours, sometimes every hour and a half. I understand that these concerns do not necessarily mean a low supply. My DH gave my LO a 4 oz bottle (took me 2 days to pump that) yesterday and not only did she sleep for a solid 3 hours after the bottle, but after her nap she had a fantastic bowel movement. This leads me to think that there might be a problem with her getting enough milk from me.
I have posted about this before.
Anyway, my OB prescribed Reglan, but I don't think I will fill that. I have read & heard many negative things about it. Since she can't prescribe domperidone, I decided to call an IBCLC.
I will be meeting with the IBCLC Tuesday. She will do a milk weigh (weigh my LO before and after a feeding to see how much she is getting at a feeding). She mentioned domperidone. I am very interested in trying this to see if it might help with the feedings (so she will get fuller and maybe go a little longer between feedings - especially at night) and also so that I can provide pumped milk in bottles for when I am away from my LO.
I have read some threads on domperidone on here.
Just wondering if anyone can provide any info, personal experiences with domperidone? Any insight into my problem?
Also - my LO is nearly 6 months old. She has about 5 wet diapers in a 24 hour period, bowel movements every few days or so. I have tried cereal & applesauce a few times, but she won't really take either.

Hi there, visited with my MD yesterday and he wants me to follow his elimination diet in combination with UltraClear for a week to try and detect any food allergies I might have. --I've been having digestion issues and my ds is not affected by my diet as I am--
In any case, I emailed him to confirm that the UltraClear is safe to drink while nursing but am waiting to hear back. I also contacted Metagenics and no response. I'm having a hard time finding anything on this stuff and effects on nursing.
Has anyone had any experience with this UltraClear while nursing, or even detox in general? I'm not going any days without any food -he tweaked the diet for me and he didn't mention any danger with UltraClear, but I forgot to ask specifically in his office. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks

Reunions Abound In Win Over Giants
There were many reunions tonight at the Phillies-Giants game. Pat Burrell and Aaron Rowand came back to Philly again in Giants uniforms. And Chase Utley returned to the Phillies line-up, making a super-speedy recovery from thumb surgery. You could feel the love:
And more importantly for the ladies, it was a visual treat. Pat the Bat and other legendary backsides were welcomed with open arms:
Oh, you were expecting a game recap, right? Sorry…got sidetracked. So the game was very nice as well. Roy Oswalt got off to a rocky start, allowing 2 runs in the first inning.
One of those runs was Burrell's first at-bat; clearly, he is right at home in Philly. The standing ovation he received while stepping to the plate died down quickly once that ball left the yard.
But Oswalt rebounded and allowed only 1 more run, another solo shot, through 7 total innings pitched. He finally got some offensive support as well.
Placido Polanco had a 4-hit night; Jimmy Rollins collected 3 RBI; Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz had 2 RBI each. By the way, Victorino's wife Melissa is pregnant! Check out the baby bump. Congrats to them both!
With a 4-3 lead going into the 8th, the offense exploded in a very odd inning. With the bases loaded and no outs for Ruiz, he nailed a 2-run double. Later, the Giants pitcher balked to send another run home and send manager Bruce Bochy to the showers early as he was tossed for arguing the call. A wild pitch followed by a fielding error scored Rollins and the Utley was picked off going to third to end the inning. 5 more runs scored that inning and the Phils won by a score of 9-3.
By the way, Mike Sweeney has not exactly been lighting up the ballpark at the plate, but this guy shows some serious hustle out there.
At one point, he went into the crowd trying to catch a foul ball. I got this shot of it, not too in focus, but take a look at his glove and the ball next to it, surrounded by fans. That is a brave man.
So the rest of the photos will be up later. I have to get some sleep, prep for tomorrow's game and do it all over again! Check back for more later.
UPDATE: Here is the full Photo Album from the game!

Buns of Mass Obstruction!
I'm old school. I don't like the love between players and teams. But…I know things are different. Things can't be like that anymore…Too much player movement. Funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder. I myself liked Rowand. But ya have to admit, you guys gave Burrell a hard time. His buns aint that great!
: o
Oh, Pat's butt is delicious. Always has been… always will be. Nothing better than great baseball butt! LOL. I was at the game as well and did notice Victorino patting his wife's baby bump. Cute moment! Congrats go out to the Victorino family! Great game to be at and oh so wonderful to see Utley back in the lineup. Barb/http://barbward.mlblogs.com
Oops, forgot to add that I love Mike Sweeney's spirit and enthusiasm. You can tell that he loves being on the greatest team in baseball🙂 Barb
Boo! Maybe today though.
lets just hope that ESPN doesn't ruin things, as they are known too…
glad Pat has found a home he seems to like, it helped I think having Aaron there too…

My mailbox is overflowing. Between recent articles on poaching, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' management of chronic wasting disease and the general sentiment that there is a lack of deer in northern Illinois, readers have shared a variety of opinions. Let me turn the column over to you this week.
Max LeCrone wrote, "I don't believe the deer have changed their habits and only come out at night since there are no tracks in the creek crossings, deer runs or fields.I have hunted deer since 1963 and know that when there are very few rubs and scrapes the deer are not there. I saw only one buck the whole firearm and muzzleloader seasons.
"Decline? Put me down for a huge 'yes.' I pray the IDNR will see the problem before they have to come out and say 'We overestimated our deer herd and now it is too late to correct the problem.' "
Don Bekeleski also commented on the deer population.
"Four of us hunt, and we have always scored between six and eight deer every season – except for this one. One day, we pushed the entire 360 acres we have access to with blockers, and we saw only one pair of tracks on the property."
Bill Bland of Crystal Lake offered his own take on the situation.
"I have hunted a beautiful piece of property for 20 years, smack in the middle of the CWD zone. In all [those] years, we've never seen or heard of a sick deer or the remains of one.
"In the past five years, we've seen a major decline in the overall population of the herd. Last year I hunted over 20 days and saw four deer. During seven full days of shotgun season, I didn't see one deer.
"I really have to question the thinking on this solution of eradication of the herd.
"When a doe is taken at this time of year, she is usually is carrying two and possibly three fawns. So when you multiply the number of does taken by sharpshooters, the actual number of animals taken out of next year's herd is much higher.
"Also, why do we need sharpshooters, when the IDNR could open a longer season with unlimited tags? This would not only cut out the money the IDNR spends on sharpshooters, but would help with money brought in by buying many tags. This disease has been around forever, it is not transferable to humans that consume the meat, and Mother Nature always has her own way of taking care of problems like this if it gets too serious. I just hope it's not too late for my generation, and my kids, because when there are no deer to hunt there will be no hunters."
Prairie Grove's John Koss offered this opinion.
"My effort in writing to you is more about how you failed to address what is likely the real reason for the reduction of the deer population. In your article, you made several referenced to anecdotal evidence supporting the lower numbers of deer in and around our area. You seemed to indicate you believe numbers are down, at least on the surface. But then, you pooh-poohed those people's opinions because of their inflated numbers and hyperbole.
"However, in your article, you did touch on what I think is the real reason for the reduction – auto/animal accidents. If you really want to discover the reason for the reduction in the deer population, as a good investigative reporter perhaps you might look at past donations or lobbyist efforts from the auto insurance industry to the IDNR.
"I think there is more to this theory than meets the eye. A little donation from a large insurance interest would go a very long way in reducing the overall number of auto/animal insurance claims in a very short time – especially if the IDNR can claim it is reducing the population due to chronic wasting disease. What a great investment for the insurance companies' interests!"
I must say that this theory about the IDNR beingbribed by the insurance industry to kill all of our whitetail deer is widespread. I also believe it is ludicrous.
I'm no expert, but I do understand how insurance companies work, whether it is auto or health. At the end of the year, an insurance company totals all of its claims and then add its markup to cover its expenses and add in a profit percentage. Simple, isn't it? In this case, if you really think about it, the insurance companies would be making more money if there were more accidents, not less.
An IDNR representative told me that neither the IDNR nor its deer program have not received any donations from insurance companies, so there goes that theory.

Persian Visions: Contemporary Photography from Iran is an exhibition of more than 60 works of photography and video installations by 20 of Iran's most celebrated photographers. The exhibition gathers personal perspectives of contemporary Iran filtered through individual sensibilities, while simultaneously addressing public concerns.
Iran has long distinguished itself with the spectacular quality and international presence of its visual art and film. With the backdrop of increasing attention given to the art and culture of Iran and the current political crisis in that part of the world, an exhibition with this focus is most timely. In expressing their many different visions of their world, these artists offer a look at private and public realms. Their perspectives contradict the way many foreign photographers typically capture Iran on film as purely exotic.
Shokoufeh Alidousti offers self-portraits and family photographs exploring cultural and female identity. Esmail Abbasi draws on Persian literature for his subject matter with contemporary notes on the present circumstances in Iran. Shahriar Tavakoli focuses on his family history through a series of portraits capturing the subtleties and mood of the Iranian family. In Koroush Adim's Revelation series, the images in the exhibition that feature the veil acknowledge this sign of culture, but the "revelation" is anything but simple. Shahrokh Ja'fari's use of unusual spacial rendering in depicting the veiled figure demands that the viewer look harder and think harder about what can be revealed through the visual.
The images presented in Persian Visions cannot entirely surmount the physical and cultural distance between Iran and the United States. Nevertheless, the exhibition builds a visual bridge that allows for differences, even as it leads viewers to new awareness of other ways of being and seeing.
Persian Visions was developed by Hamid Severi for the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Iran and Gary Hallman of the Regis Center for Art at the University of Minnesota and toured by International Arts & Artists in Washington, D.C. This exhibition is supported in part by grants from the ILEX Foundation; the University of Minnesota McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment; and the Department of Art and Regis Center for Art at the University of Minnesota.
Exhibition co-curator Gary Hallman, associate professor of art at the University of Minnesota, will give the opening presentation at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14. The presentation introduces an overview of the initiation of the project, the staff and director of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the criteria for the selection of the artists, and a sense of the cultural and political climate that shaped the photographic work and project itself. Selected pieces from the exhibition will provide discussion points illustrating the influences of history, culture and political climate on contemporary practice in Tehran.

Limiting Transfers of Enrichment and Reprocessing Technology: Issues, Constraints, Options
Report, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
May 2011
Author: Fred McGoldrick, Former Associate, Project on Managing the Atom, May 2011June 2013
Related: Matthew Bunn, Professor of Practice; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom, Martin B. Malin, Executive Director, Project on Managing the Atom, William H. Tobey, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs

For several years, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has been unable to reach a consensus on the adoption of revised guidelines for its members. The most contentious issue is how to strengthen restraints on the transfer of enrichment and reprocessing technologies in a manner that would be acceptable to all NSG members, and credible to the major exporting states and industry.
In this report, Fred McGoldrick, offers a set of options for policy makers intended to help catalyze a more productive discussion both within the NSG and beyond it.
The report urges policy makers to moderate their rhetoric on limiting exports and to emphasize the rights of NPT parties to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy as long as they are in compliance with their nonproliferation commitments.
To help advance discussion within the NSG, the report recommends:
- Concentrating on reaching agreement on new guidelines, if possible using the so-called clean text criteria for restraining the sale of enrichment and reprocessing technologies;
- Adopting new language in the NSG guidelines that would affirm Article IV rights under the NPT and register commitments to promote international cooperation with states as long as they are in conformity with their NPT obligations; and
- Strengthening NSG efforts on effective implementation of the existing guidelines.
Beyond the NSG, the report recommends a number of measures to strengthen nonproliferation including:
- Promoting robust fuel assurances, and seriously exploring the feasibility of cradle-to-grave fuel cycle services, particularly for countries with small nuclear programs;
- Giving serious consideration to placing enrichment and reprocessing facilities under some form of multinational auspices or control;
- Recognizing the limited application of the U.S.-UAE model of discouraging the spread of enrichment and reprocessing;
- Giving priority to the development and deployment of improved safeguards techniques, including universal adoption of the Additional Protocol as well physical protection for enrichment and reprocessing plants;
- Continuing further research, development, and demonstration of more proliferation-resistant fuel cycle technologies; and
- Applying the maximum diplomatic pressure to states that seek to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to countries that are in violation of their nonproliferation commitments, are located in unstable regions, or present unacceptable proliferation risks.
Work on this report was supported by AREVA, Inc., the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

First of all, Christianity isn't a cult. Here is the definition of a cult from the Oxford Dictionaries online:
1 - A system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object, eg the cult of St Olaf
- A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or as imposing excessive control over members
- A misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular thing
2 - A person or thing that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society.
Christianity is a faith or a religion. It arrived in the British Isles almost 2000 years ago. Pagan practices were the norm in pre-Christian Britain (and of course continue on to the present day). The early Christians - who were either Roman or Celtic in tradition and practice - are responsible for laying the foundations of the Christian values to which your post refers. I think you are being deliberately obtuse in what you say but if you want to discover which values embedded in our culture were established by the Christian church then you won't have to look very far because they are numerous and pretty fundamental in some cases. One has recently been the subject of new legislation: marriage. Marriage is a set of values, marked by a tradition (the wedding ceremony), which was established in this country by the Christian church. There were commitment ceremonies which pre-dated the Christian marriage but they were different from the marriage values which have been applied in the British Isles for centuries.
On your point about other religions sharing the values of Christianity: only two could be said to share some of the values. The primary one is Judaism, which predates Christianity. The other is Islam, which is a younger religion than Christianity. However, while they do share values, they do not share all values and in some areas they are fundamentally different.
there are sects within the cult of christianity which don't share the same values.
what are these values anyway? I suspect they transecend the teachiungs of religious cults.

These open forums will enable conference Attendees to interact with USSOCOM Senior Leaders while collaborating on how to strengthen the global SOF network.Here's what 2013 SOFIC Attendees are saying..."In my view, SOFIC provides the most comprehensive industry access to warfighters and Commanders during the year." -2013 SOFIC Attendee
