Even though pets are difficult, we still love them to death.
My husband and I have three pets: two dogs and a cat. We have had our two pugs, Monty, a male, and Tiny, a female, since they were puppies. While they love us unconditionally, Tiny is a normal dog and Monty is our "problem child."
We have had grief and expenses associated with this dog since we brought him home. He started by biting our pants by the ankles. He chewed shoes, furniture and couch cushions, and ate garbage bags. After we had children, he loved to grab dirty diapers. All puppies exhibit these kinds of behaviors, but Monty never outgrew them.
As an adult dog, he attempts to mark his territory all over the house and thinks that jumping on the table looking for food or grabbing a sandwich from our children's hands is great exercise.
We have tried everything, including crate training, obedience classes, even a dog behavioral therapist – it didn't sound as crazy when we lived in Los Angeles – and anti-anxiety medication. Regardless of our efforts, Monty has always been and continues to be a difficult dog.
Luckily, he is not aggressive and wonderful with children. He has never turned against our kids or growled, even as they attempted to take food out of his mouth.
But, he requires constant attention and 24/7 supervision. When you have five young children and a husband deployed, it's difficult to focus exclusively on the pet. Since my husband's absence and a terrible flea infestation, which almost pushed me over the edge, I thought about giving away Monty. I called the pug rescue society and some of the animal shelters in the area. Some of my husband's friends suggested putting him to sleep to end our misery.
I confess that in moments of despair, when I was washing our linens and towels in the middle of the night, or when my daughter Anna was covered in flea bites, the thought of parting from Monty crossed my mind.
But, I could never get rid of this dog. I took responsibility to care for this pet when I brought him into our home.
Monty, our neurotic pet, is a test of patience and love. I could never tell my children that I decided to get rid of him because he was too much work. What lesson would that be for them? Give up when the going gets rough?
So, I have become more creative with Monty. He has been wearing a doggy diaper in the house, my husband's idea and apparently the only thing that will stop him from marking inside the home. The veterinarian gave us a few tips for some more crate training and behavior modification. He even suggested that I walk around the house with Monty on a leash, to keep an eye on him at all time (I have so much free time as it is).
Monty will probably never change, regardless of what we do. We must love him despite his behavior.
Rest assured, buddy, we are not putting you to sleep. You still have lots of military bases to see, tails to chase and dirty diapers to grab. If you can, cut me a break once in a while, especially when Daddy is not around.

Heer (हीर)[1] Hir (हीर)[2] Heir (हेर) Her (हेर)[3][4][5] Hayer (हेअर) Haer (हेअर) is gotra of Jats found in Punjab (India), Haryana and Pakistan. The Jat Gotra 'Heer' and 'Her' are the same. 'Her' is originated from 'Heers'. Hir (हीर) is a Muhammadan Jat clan found in Montgomery (doubtless Her).[6] Dilip Singh Ahlawat has mentioned it as one of the ruling Jat clans in Central Asia. [7]

They are said to be originated from Heer Syala place. [8]
सिहाग, हेर, भुल्लर, दहिया लोगों के निकट सिर दरिया के पूर्व में थे तथा तुर्किस्तान व ईरान में भी थे।[9]
The Jat Gotras, Maan, Bhullar and Heer are considered to be the Oldest and Purest Jat gotras. But there is very rare information available regarding Heers and Bhullars. Bhullars are said to be given their name as 'Bhulars' because they do not give information about their birth place. Means they have forgotten their birth place. In Arbi, Pharsi, Pashto (Persian), Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi :- 'Bhoolna' means to Forget. Might be because of that they got their name as 'Bhoolar' or 'Bhular'. But the question is from where they originate and how they had maternal relation with Heers. Both of these have Chandravanshi linage. There is need to further research in this matter.
Moreover Bhangoos (Bhangu) are considered to be the descendant of Heers. Bhangu is also a very ancient Jat Gotra. In some areas of Punjab they are known as Heer-Bhangoo or Bhangu-Hira or Hira. Bhangus are not from Bhangi Misl as asumed. They are related to Heers. Now a days most of the 'Heer-Bhangus' do not use their complete surmane as 'Heer-Bhangu'. Either they used it as Heer or Heera or Bhangu only. But how and when Bhangus got separated from Heers is a matter of research.
'Heer' is a very peculiar word as well as gotra to be identified in Old Vedas. It is very difficult to recogonize this gotra in any of the Sanskrit Vedas. Because in Sanskrit Heer, Hari or Har words might confuse anyone. Even a well known Sanskrit scholar too. Many of the Jat gotras are found in little bit different names in Sanskrit Vedas but still they can be identified. For example Aulakh is used as Olak or Olakh, Bains is used as Vains or Vais, Virk is used as Birk or Birka, Takhar is used as Tukhrak etc. But when it comes to Heer, it is not so easy to identify it as a Gotra when used as Heer, Hari or Har. Hari and Har might have number of meanings. Hari is even commonly used for God. Might be because of this reason this gotra has not been traced well. Prof. B.S. Dhillon's book 'History and Study of Jats' writes every where Her in place of Heer. It may be probably due to fact that most of the Heer Jats from Doaba (Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala etc) region of Punjab moved toward western countries during the early 50s and 60s. Might be then after they start using their gotra as 'Her' from 'Heer'. Because Englishmen cant pronounce 'Heer' as Heer. They will always pronounce it as 'Her'. Although in the nearby district such as Jalandhar etc. some of the 'Heers' using it as 'Her' and spell it as 'Hayer'. Most of the number of 'Her' originate from village 'Littran' in Jalandhar district. At least one member from each family of this village is residing in abroad. So because of western pronunciation, new generation of 'Heers' start using it as 'Her'. There are still some families present in which older people are using it as 'Heer' and younger one using it as 'Her' and most of them are residing abroad.[10]
Her (हेर) gotra has originated from Heers who had maternal relations with Bhullars. [11]
B S Dahiya[12] writes: As per Ghirsman, in 20 BC, the king of Sogdian was named Heraus (see under Sikarwar). In "Kushana Studies in USSR.", the"Heraios" are mentioned as a tribe of Kushanas. [13] This clan is the Her clan of the Jats. The Hers are considered to be the original Jats. Her means Lord or Master in 'Gothic'.
Dilip Singh Ahlawat has mention Her as one of the ruling Jat clans in Central Asia. [14]
Bhular, Sihag and Maan vansha are related with Her vansha. [15].
Thousands of years before Christ Her,Dahiya,Bhular and Sihag lived in Iran and Turkistan.
H.A. Rose[16] writes that Her (हेर ), Aher (अहेर ), or Porawal (पोरवाल)., the third of the group of Jat tribes which includes the Bhullar and Man also. Their home appears to lie north of the Sutlej and they are found in considerable numbers under the hills from Ambala in the east to Gujrat in the west, and throughout the whole upper valley of that river. There is a very old village called Her in the Nakodar tahsil of Jullundhar which is still held by Her Jats, who say that they have lived there for a thousand years; in other words for an indefinite period.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Oriental International Trading Company, of Los Angeles, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 3,500 baby walkers. The walkers will fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Babies using these walkers can be seriously injured or killed if they fall down stairs.Oriental International Trading has not received any reports of injuries involving these walkers. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.This recall includes the "Honey" model baby walker. The walkers are intended for a baby 5 months and older. They were sold in blue, yellow or pink with a padded seat and an activity tray. Model numbers included in the recall are 820, 860, 862 and 802. The model numbers are printed on the seat backs. A warning label on the walker reads in part, "WARNING: Suitable for babies between five and ten months old."Independent discount stores located in Arizona, California, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina and New York sold these baby walkers from May 2001 through June 2002 for between $18 and $22.Consumers should stop using these walkers immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Oriental International Trading Company at (866) 666-9868 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday. Consumers can also visit the firm's web site at www.bike-stroller.com. CPSC worked with industry to revise the voluntary standard for baby walkers to address injuries from falls down stairs. The revised standard was published in 1997. Children falling down stairs in walkers have accounted for most baby walker-related injuries. New walkers that meet the voluntary standard have special features that stop the walker at the top step. Baby walker-related injuries to children under 15 months old have declined over 60 percent from an estimated 20,100 in 1995 to 7400 in 2000.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

Two BSC Business Faculty Participate in "Academy of Management"
Bluefield State College Business Division faculty members Dr. Steve Bourne and Associate Professor John Snead were featured presenters at the recent "Academy of Management," the nation's premier organization for management faculty. Bourne and Snead presented "Environmental Determinants of Organized Ethical Climate: A Community Perspective," at the annual meeting in Boston, MA. Their program focused upon how a community's values and norms can impact a business or industry located in that region. A company can't come into an area and establish its own "climate" as easily as it may think, Bourne noted. Snead observed that, when a company comes into a region, it will be most successful when it takes into account the norms and standards of the people living there. "Our experience at the Academy of Management underscores the need for Bluefield State College to continue to do research," Bourne said. "Such a commitment enables our faculty to remain abreast of current developments and technological advances in their field, and to learn what is happening at other institutions." Snead observed, "There's a large amount of good research conducted at the nation's leading business schools, but the Academy also demonstrated that there's a significant amount of very relevant scholarly research being conducted at several smaller institutions of higher education." The BSC business faculty pair's scholarly submission was submitted to the Academy of Management for blind review by three colleagues, with less than 30% of all submissions accepted for inclusion in the Academy meeting. Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline, and Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School faculty member and author of Frontiers of Management, were keynote speakers at the four-day Academy of Management convention. Bourne and Snead agreed that their experience at the Academy will provide long term dividends for both. "It was stimulating," Bourne noted. "You are exposed to many new approaches. Often, something said during a program triggers new ideas." "In addition to the factual information available, there's a rich diversity of the streams of research at the Academy," Snead added, "and there's abundant opportunity to network to other business faculty throughout the nation." At the Academy, Bourne and Snead met an international business educator now on the faculty at West Virginia State College, who noted that business trends identified in their presentation are also apparent in relationships between business and the regions in which they are located throughout the world. They discussed opportunities for collaborating and expanding upon their theme of "Environmental Determinants of Organizational Ethical Climate."

"I offer no sacrifice save to the One true God."
~ Maximus, martyr, saint, about A.D. 250, in answer to the demand of the civil authorities for sacrifice to the pagan gods; a test in common use as belief in a single Godhead was known to be definitive in the early Christian community; thus any Christian might be called on to seal with his blood his faith in the One God.

Followed a dream, I want a job with my team
Well I did it. I officially applied for two positions within the Colorado Rockies organization.
Why you ask?
Honestly, I love my current job. I would be content working there until I retire in 20-25 years, but it's not my passion.
You only go around life once and I just have to give this a shot. WTF right?
(Just a cartoon here, not actual fact–>)
Plus, these are part-time seasonal positions, so I could do both jobs
I applied for the Stats Stringer and Pitch F/X Operator openings for the Colorado Rockies.
The Stats Stringer job is fascinating to me. I'm totally a numbers guy.
Major League Baseball Advanced Media or MLBAM uses "stringers" who use a laptop and specific software to enter pitch-by-pitch data for every baseball game.
These guys are given a press pass and a spot in the press box, where they can focus on the game.
Each and every play is broken into a series of codes, which are used to document the game.
Stats stringer would be perfect for me. How hard would it be to blog about a game you documented every single play on?
See what I mean, I'm talking serious head full of stats.
The Rockies are also looking for a Sports Reporter. That was the job I wanted to apply for most of all. My problem is passion, desire, and life long dream are not listed anywhere on the qualifications for the job.
It also seems that I don't quite meet all of the qualifications,…such is life.
Yep, alI I have is my life experience, and my passion for my sport.
I'm an acquired taste, not exactly for everyone, kind of like curling but with a cool factor.
I'll just keep doing what I do and maybe someday someone who knows someone will dig my schit and have a use for the Ranter's banter.
Maybe I'll be content on being the number one fan blog on MLBLOGS.com? You have to set goals and shoot for them.
My wife called me the Perez Hilton of MLB..minus the gay part.
(Not that there is anything wrong with that), CYA.
It's not a mid-live crisis, more of a mid-life realization.
Either way, I'll continue to roll on. I'm already a lucky guy and I know it.

Good luck with the job. You may not have the most talent or experience but you have a love and passion for the game, which is what should really count. I would much rather read something a little less sophisticated but have heart in it than something with big words and is just for the money. Great blog, keep it up.
Those sir, are kind words…and I thank you…D
Go for it D. You never know what will happen. One thing for sure, if you don't apply, you won't get the job. I think you would make a much more interesting reporter than most of those guys.
Thanks Rockieluv..right now I'm just testing the waters. MLB is not ready for the Ranter as a full time writer. In a perfect world with enough sponsorship, I would blog from the Mobile Blogging Unit the entire MLB season, ..visiting each stadium. I think it's a great idea, but I can't seem draw much interest….I've blogged this before but baseball needs its own version of the Weinermobile…The Mobile Blogging Unit. This one has a shower and doesn't smell like pork…Laters…D
Good Luck! We all should go for what we are passionate about. Life is way to short to not take chances! I hope you get one of the jobs!
Awesome post! Those are definitely two cool jobs that are available with many of the teams. I too applied her in LA for the same positions.
Isn't baseball just an awesome game!

Thanks Julia aka Werbiefitz and Hawk…It's a longshot. But WTF..you know??
I see that opportunity as a foot in the door…good luck.
After all, might as well get paid for doing something you enjoy!
Good luck with the job. Like you, I'm also aiming for a job with the Rockies. I'm leaning more toward sports psychology though. If you get an in, maybe you can hook a fellow blogger up (hint hint, wink wink). Just kidding. But best of luck to you!!!
I Live For This.
How's it going? Interesting field you've chosen, especially on the sports end of it. I'd love to hook a fellow blogger up, but I'd have to be the one holding the fishing pole my friend. At this point, all I've got is a handful of worms, a big smile, and the urge to go fishing…Thanks for reading my fish stories…D
I an aspiring sports writer so I feel your pain at trying to get into the business. It's not easy but I should be getting close in the next few years. I just need that degree thing from that college thing and I think I will be set. Be sure to keep us updated on your application process.

Director Tim Burton's stop-motion opus "Frankenweenie" has gotten some big jolts of acclaim lately, not only with Best Animated Feature nominations by the Annie Awards, Critics Choice Movie Awards and Golden Globes -- but wins from film critic organizations in New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
And with an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Thursday, it's no doubt an exciting time for producer Allison Abbate. Still, the filmmaker told me in a recent interview, she already feels like a winner because of the opportunities she's had to work with Burton and the artists involved with the filmmaker's pet project -- and in a field as rare as stop-motion.
"It's a medium that's so special that it's a privilege to help acquaint the world with it and bring the artistry to the forefront," Abbate said. "Tim is so great about giving credit where credit is due to the artists who work on the film with him and is so generous to them about their contributions. He's the best guy to work with."
Mirroring Abbate's sentiments, Burton issued a statement about the Oscar nomination, recognizing virtually everyone involved in the production.
"Frankenweenie is a very personal film for me. The idea of telling a feature length version was in the back of my mind for many years. Stop--motion was the perfect medium for this project, and one I've always loved for it expressiveness and dimensionality," Burton said. "I've worked with so many incredible artists: animators, cast members, set builders, and puppet makers, all who have helped bring this film to life one frame at a time. I'm so honored that the Academy has recognized this film as one of its nominees."
New on DVD and Blu-ray (Walt Disney Home Entertainment), "Frankenweenie" is based on Burton's own 1984 live-action short film of the same name. Filmed in black-and-white in an homage to the classic monster movies of yesteryear, "Frankenweenie" tells the story of a young boy named Victor Frankenstein (voice of Charlie Tahan) who reanimates his beloved dog, Sparky, with some creative stitchery and lightning bolts after a tragic accident.
The problem is, Victor's parents and their suburban community of New Holland misunderstand Sparky and are frightened of him, and the boy's scientific experiment spirals completely out of control when his schoolmates find out his secrets and reanimate their own beloved pets -- creating complete chaos during the town's annual festival.
The key for Abbate on "Frankenweenie" was to help capture the emotion of the characters through the subtle movements of inanimate objects on film. After all, emotion is hard enough to capture from a live-action actor, much less a puppet being filmed one frame at a time.
"There is a magical quality to stop-motion that I think is an intangible, yet a very real element of it," observed Abbate, who also produced Burton's "Corpse Bride" and was artistic coordinator on "The Nightmare Before Christmas." "I think that's why kids are really drawn to it, and why ultimately artists and people are drawn to it. I think that's why Tim was so adamant about remaking the live-action short in stop-motion. I think he likes what he gets out of the live-action process, but he craves the magic that you get out of stop-motion."
"Frankenweenie" animation supervisor Mark Waring also believes in the magic of stop-motion, which is why he's confident that the art form will hold its own in the feature film world despite the rapidly evolving world of computer-generated animation.
"Stop-motion features will stand the test of time and that process of entertaining people won't go away," Warning told me in a separate interview. "I think it's a valid art form and I think people love the idea of bringing lots of metal, silicone, plaster and wood to life. It becomes real."
The filmmaker believes the future of stop-motion animation was solidified with the release of "Corpse Bride" in 2005, marking the first time Waring collaborated with Burton and Abbate.
"There was a feeling that CG was going to take over and that stop-frame was going to die, but when 'Corpse Bride' came out, it made people realize that it's just a different strand of animation, and it doesn't have to mean that one has to die for the other one to live," Warning said. "They can both co-exist. It's like photography was supposed to kill off painting. CG and stop-motion are completely separate things, but both can entertain you in a cinema for an hour and a half."
Sparks of creativity
Abbate is thrilled with the release of the film on home video because it gives her an opportunity to present a featurette on the "Frankenweenie" touring exhibit -- which highlights puppets and sets used in the film -- as well as an extensive look at the people who helped make the magic happen.
"Not only does it capture the art of the film, but the artists who worked on it, which always makes me really, really proud when credit can go where credit is due," Abbate said.
More than anything, Abbate said she's excited about the inclusion of "Captain Sparky vs. the Flying Saucers," a new short film in the bonus features directed by Waring.
"It's as if Victor and Sparky made other shorts like 'Monsters from Beyond' from the beginning of the movie, and that's really special because you feel like you're getting a little more insight into their sweet relationship," Abbate said. "And, you can have another fun romp with Captain Sparky, but in outer space. This is more like a space adventure with a Mr. Whiskers cameo in it."
If it were up to Waring, those "other" Victor and Sparky shorts will somehow have a life of their own someday.
"We talked about it when we were shooting, how there could be a whole sequence of them," Waring recalled. "Victor could go into his film can and we can see a whole library of films that he made. It could go on forever."

Roy Walton
I'm very excited! This book revitalizes many of the old moves, with innovative applications and of course, completely new sleights and effects. I give it my highest recommendation!-
Zenneth Kok
These well constructed and clever effects are both magical and entertaining. The sleights that are taught are well within the reach of us mere mortals. The explanation of the Gilbreath Principle and the alternate handling of the Gemini Count are worth the price of the book-
Marty Kaplan
A book full of commercial, beautiful, and devastating card tricks with sharp teeth.-
Ryan Matney
If you want R&D with card tricks, try Robertson and Duffie. Three years late, two top thinkers, one great book. Your audiences won't have a theory about this conspiracy.-
Steve Beam
Peter Duffie has been blessed with the talent to create fresh ideas and apply them to new and practical effects. On the other hand, he can take an old effect and add a new twist to it, thereby making the climax of the effect stronger. Combine this talent with that of Robin Robertson, and I'm envious of the results.-
Gene Maze
Peter Duffie is one of the world's most skillful and creative cardmen. Card Conspiracy, his latest book, co-authored with Robin Robertson, offers a wide variety of card magic that will no doubt appeal to all card workers, whatever their tastes.-
Harvey Rosenthal
Peter and Robin are serious students of card magic. Their separate work is great, this work together is incredible. GREAT material, refreshing and usable.-

With Mick Jagger turning 73 on Tuesday, click on to see how the music icon and other rockers from the 1960s and 1970s have aged over the years.

Bruce Springsteen burst onto the scene in 1973, releasing his debut album "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J." He only got better as the '70s went on, quickly releasing the follow-up album "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" that same year followed by 1975's "Born to Run" and 1978's "Darkness on the Edge of Town."
Springsteen is still "The Boss" 40 years into a career that shows no sign of stopping.
Bob Seger, who provided such 1970s hits as "Midnight Rider," "Turn the Page," "Katmandu," "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," "Hollywood Nights," "We've Got Tonight" and "Old Time Rock and Roll," is seen here in a 1977 publicity photo.

Speaking of Elton John, his first album debuted in 1969 and he hit his stride in the 1970s with such smash albums as "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road," "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" and "Rock of the Westies." He's seen here in a 1975 publicity photo from the "Cher" variety show.
More than 40 years later, Elton John is as big as ever.
Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen in his younger days. The band got its start in the 1970s, with its self-titled debut album coming out in 1978.

It has been two days since Jermichael Finley had to be carted off Lambeau Field and experts say while chances of a full recovery are good; his injury would be similar to anyone diving into the shallow end of the pool and hitting the bottom head first.
Finley is walking 48 hours after a hit during the Packers' Sunday game against the Browns hospitalized him.
Head coach Mike McCarthy had good news for fans the next day.
"He always has a smile on his face and he is focused on what is most important, and that is his health and his family," said McCarthy.
But what exactly happened on that play?
"When you have that direct impact all those forces are directly transmitted through bones and tissues, and puts an increased risk at fractures that could have catastrophic and neurological consequences," said Jared Greenberg, an interventional spine specialist at Meriter.
Greenberg said spinal injury patients can never be too cautious since there is no cure for those types of injuries.
"This is what these guys are born to do so anytime you tell a 26-year-old your career is now coming to a close. It's not an easy conversation. Everyone is worried about his recovery and on to the next steps," said Greenberg.
Finley did tweet a video of himself walking Tuesday at the hospital saying he will play again this year.
The Packers were off Tuesday but McCarthy should give an update on Finley's condition when he speaks to the media Wednesday.
While Finely is optimistic, Greenberg said it is unlikely he will return this year. He would be at too great a risk because of his injury from Sunday's game combined with the multiple concussions he has sustained throughout his career.

Suffocation -- Blood Oath
Call me crazy, but this is the first Suffocation record I have ever heard in its entirety. Not because I hated the others/was ignorant to it or any of that, but simply because I had never gotten into Suffocation and there was something about them that never really hit me. I had only heard a couple of tracks by them, and they never really struck me as amazing or anything worth following. Now this was me before. I had recently seen the posting that their new album, Blood Oath, had been streamed on Myspace in its entirety, so I decided "Let's give this listen and prove myself wrong". I listened to the first half of the record, and I stopped afterwards, for the songs sounded similar, and honestly it got a little bit boring. A couple of hours later I decided to give it another shot, and then it did grow on me quite a bit. I really enjoyed tracks like Dismal Dream, Mental Hemorrhage, Come Hell or High Priest, and Pray for Forgiveness. The songs I enjoyed the most were the fast, brutal death metal kinds of songs, I did not enjoy the slower, almost "core-ish" songs. I know some would consider it blasphemic to call some of Suffocation "core-ish", but I was talking to makethemsuffer and he explained they had a huge influence on the whole "core" scene, and I can definately see how. For me, compared to bands like Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Necrophagist, etc, these guys are underpar. Their vocalist can take some getting used to, and the tone can sound a bit muddy. I'm not hating on Suffocation, I do enjoy them and can say I like them, but I am not too big a fan. This new record is quite good though, don't get me wrong, for the only tracks I can honestly say were underpar for me were Undeserving.

Student Opportunities
As a mathematics major, you'll have lots of opportunities to explore mathematics outside the classroom.
- Develop an individual research project for presentation at the College's Rall Symposium , the annual Student Research Symposium of the Associated Colleges of the Chicago Area (ACCA), an annual meeting of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America, or even the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.
- Consider completing an internship at one of the many companies in the Chicagoland area who employ mathematicians, especially if you're an actuarial science or applied mathematics major.
- Try your hand at the ACCA calculus team competition, an event in which North Central College students have usually done quite well, and the William Lowell Putnam Competition.
- Join the student Mathematics Club/Pi Mu Epsilon honorary society. The club sponsors an variety of activities throughout the year including the Prime Time Colloquium and trivia breaks each term. Some members of the Math Club also volunteer as tutors in the Math Resource Center.

A Big 10 university didn't measure up for Chris Rohde. He came to North Central as a sophomore to participate in the College's renowned running program, study education and gain access to faculty. "I have a closer rapport with teachers here. I talk with my professors after nearly every class." As a future mathematics teacher — and some day, a professor — Rohde explains that math is his second language. "My hope is to show my students how fun math really is."

Shumlin unafraid of risks in imposing campaign finance limits
MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin said he isnt opposed to House legislation that would impose a $5,000 limit on contributions to super PACs, despite estimates from the attorney generals office that the inevitable legal challenge could cost millions of dollars.
Shumlin said Wednesday that while hes concerned it would be challenged, lawmakers ought to at least consider contribution limits that would flout federal legal precedent.
Citizens United has brought a whole new world of hidden spending to campaigns. We should do everything we can to fix it, Shumlin said at a Statehouse press conference. And if we have to challenge the U.S. Supreme Courts wisdom, so be it.
House lawmakers gave final approval to a campaign-finance package Wednesday that includes the controversial super PAC provision. Shumlin said he was not telling (lawmakers) not to include the constitutionally risky provision. But many Republicans said he should have.
Rep. Kurt Wright, a Burlington Republican, said he loathes the influence of super PACs and the power they give wealthy donors over the political process. But he said the House limits are so legally shaky as to call into question the acuity of the legislators voting in favor of them.
A bill that would decriminalize marijuana had just won final passage in the Senate, and Wright wondered aloud if people are already smoking it.
Rep. Duncan Kilmartin, a Newport Republican, said the House language is particularly troubling given the states history defending campaign finance statutes. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2006 tossed out Vermonts previous campaign-finance law, a case that left taxpayers on the hook for $1.6 million in plaintiffs legal fees.
We fooled ourselves once and it cost us (money) to have the Supreme Court laugh at us, Kilmartin said. If we pass this, we show ourselves not merely fools twice, we show ourselves small-minded actors in a theater of the absurd for all the world to see.
Rep. Donna Sweaney, chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Government Operations, said she believes the limits are defensible.
And yes, there may be a court case, said Sweaney, a Windsor Democrat. But we cant live that way.
She added: We have to determine for ourselves whats best for Vermont. And we have to vote that way.
Final passage of the campaign-finance bill in the House sets the stage for a complicated negotiation with the Senate over significant differences between the two bills.
While the House has sought to impose contribution limits to super PACs a measure key Senate leaders oppose it has raised the ceiling on financial gifts to candidates, political parties and conventional PACs.
The House version also allows for unlimited giving from parties to candidates. And the House also got rid of a provision that would have limited to $50,000 the amount that a single individual can donate to political entities during each two-year election cycle.
Rep. Chris Pearson, a Burlington Progressive, said the House bill would do more to heighten the influence of money in Vermont elections than it would to curb it.
We had an opportunity to pass a strong campaign finance bill, Pearson said. Instead, weve opened our doors to big money influence and the damaging impact that comes with it.

6/10/09 @ Oriole Park at Camden Yards
I'll start out by saying the ballpark here is absolutely beautiful. The brick, the field, the picnic area in centerfield, the warehouse, the huge standing room only madeforhomeruns area…wow.
…the Legends Museum in front with the warehouse in the background (with arrow).
…Eutaw St. sign with centerfield picnic area and left field in background.
…EUTAW STREET GATE H-the centerfield entrance into the stadium.
…looking through the EUTAW STREET gate and down the stadium walkway from the centerfield side.
…looking down the same walkway but from the other side (right field side).
…a nice shot of the beautiful brick warehouse from down the right field line.
…the home plate entrance.
…the picnic area in centerfield with the field (and batting cage!) in the background.
…me in front of the EUTAW STREET entrance (sporting my Ripken #8 shirt).
…two very special people.
That's Todd, his little man Tim and I. Todd has a really cool blog and is an extremely cool Dad. Todd comments on my blog from time to time and this was the 1st time we'd met. His little guy is one cool dude.
You have to go to his blog and read about their travels. Guys like Todd inspire me!
I came to Baltimore to see the stadium.
Mission accomplished.
I came to Baltimore to catch Matt Wieters 1st career home run.
1 day down…no home run.
Time will tell.
Mission pending.
Besides getting some bad advice from an "expert," all is well.
Let me tell you…BP was the worst of my life. I had a legitimate play on 1 ball the entire day. I did not get that ball.
All of the players around me stared straight ahead.
Everywhere I went, the ball went elsewhere.
I've had better BP's with the 1990's Pirates hitting at County Stadium, a sprained ankle and 40,000 in attendance.
It was JUST one of those days that I can't explain.
Oh well…I don't have a precious streak I keep track of. I don't HAVE to snag a ball at EVERY single game to feel necessary. I have nothing to prove.
50 career game home runs snagged have taken care of that.
I came with the mission to snag Matt Wieters 1st career home run and return it to him without incident.
I learned a few things from the Chris Coghlan fiasco.
I'll say no more other than to leave you with this picture I took on my walk back to my hotel…
…that about sums up my day of ballhawking.
When the greatest raw power swinger in recent memory (Russell "The Muscle" Branyan) works on his directional hitting in BP, you know you're in for a long day.
0 baseballs snagged.
Tomorrow is a new day.

You'll bounce back. I had the worst day of my ballhawking life at Camden Yards earlier this year in April. I still want to go back though. Hope you get Wieters first homer – that'd make quite a story.
Happy, great to meet you last night. It was cool seeing you and Zack on the job in RF. Sorry none of my M's help you two out. I would have loved to see the battle of the ballhawks out there. (I would have also loved to see a LF Mariners home run). As for Weiters, you'll have to wait until the M's leave town. Its not happening on the M's watch.
PS – my report on the game will be forthcoming…probably this weekend.
PPS – excellent stadium shots!
Welcome to my world brotha! Shutouts suck, plain & simple. You may not think about streaks & stuff like that, but a big fat goose egg on your stats speaks for itself. Don't let it bother you, even Jordan had off games in his career! Give 'em hell!
Everyone has bad days. So don't let this one day get you down. Also, you are popping up in a whole bunch of stadiums now. Any chance of you coming to New York anytime soon? If so let me know.
Happy, that leaves the both of us brotha — on both of our first time trips to Camden Yards, we both were shutout for the day. I felt your pain man. BE STRONG! Your comic relief at the end is a definite chuckler, if I say so myself. When the hell are you comin' to New York?!
– Donnie
SHUT OUT? Come on Nick. COME ON! Please tell me thats a lie or a joke…. I have to be hallucinating.
It happens brotha, makes you appreciate the good snaggin days more. Beautiful pictures Nick…D
How come you wore an Orioles shirt, and then switched to a Mariners shirt at the same game? That's kind of weird, as a baseball fan, isn't? Seems as though it's not the first time either. It's somewhat disrespectful to a team if you show up and wear the opposing teams shirt, isn't it? Unless, of course, you're an actual fan of that opposing team. Though, looking at your blog, I'm not sure if you're a Brewers, Marlins, Reds, Pirates, Blue Jays, Mariners, Orioles, Athletics, White Sox, Twins, or Diamondbacks fan.
Nor do you seem particular 'young'. 'Happy Middle Aged Guy' seems more appropriate.
My guess is you won't approve this comment, or you'll delete it. However, I think my questions are sincere enough to warrant an answer.
I've heard Camden Yards is beautiful, thanks for sharing pics. Everyone has an offday! The Sox pitching staff had an offday Sunday, they'll bounce back and so will you! That's so nice that you want to give Wieters his first HR back to him🙂. I'd love to do something like that.
Thanks. He FINALLY! hit his 1st homer last night (6/17).
The pleasure of meeting you two was all mine. Good luck!!
you should have been a motivational speaker!!
I don't think I'll make New York until next season. But, hey-you never know.
thank you.
thanks. See above.
can't explain it. Hample jinx??? Would he do that??
If you haven't been out there-you gotta go.
I'm proud to say that I'm a fan of baseball. In this beautiful and free world we live in-I can wear whatever the hell I want to wear. As long as it doesn't have cuss words or explicit images.
By definition: middle-aged is 40 or older. I'm 29.
Been a long time! Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to your BoSox!
Happy Youngster, you are the man of the year 2011. If this is the energy that you are employing in your third week of January 2011 then you need more accolades. Takes us all through these busy and beautiful stadiums and post their pictures here. – Jordan

2011 Phillies Phantasy Camp Reunion Night
I was only ever on a Major League Baseball field once in my life. Standing on the concrete field they called "turf" at Veterans Stadium for photo day in 1989 was one thing. This was completely different. Just like every other moment I've had during this Phantasy Camp experience, you could not get that goofy grin of mine off my face during this reunion. The grass was perfect, the dirt was clean, the Fall-like weather was awakening, and Dan Baker's voice boomed down from the heavens. This was a religious baseball experience.
On that photo day in 1989, my dad was by my side. Without a doubt, he was with me again on a Major League field.
And he would have the same goofy grin.
Getting changed in the…
That's why there weren't any urinals.
Going High.
"Yes, I promise not to break from the group and run around the field… OK, I can't really promise that."
Hey there Scott.
My number was retired across from the visiting team's clubhouse. They think of everything.
"Calcified Clay? Check. Phillie Phanatic 'Lady Gaga egg'? Check."
I immediately recognized this from Opening Day…
Really Bryan? Control yourself.
"Bryan Sargent just ousted Placido Polanco as mayor of third base."
The Marlins are underwhelmed.
Hello there.
"I welcome you to Citizens Bank Park."

The cancer screening kerfuffle erupts again: "Rethinking" screening for breast and prostate cancer
I see that the kerfuffle over screening for cancer has erupted again to the point where it's found its way out of the rarified air of specialty journals to general medical journals and hence into the mainstream press.
Over the last couple of weeks, articles have appeared in newspapers such as the New York Times and Chicago Tribune, radio networks like NPR, and magazines such as TIME Magazine pointing out that a "rethinking" of routine screening for breast and prostate cancer is under way. The articles bear titles such as A Rethink On Prostate and Breast Cancer Screening, Cancer Society, in Shift, Has Concerns on Screenings, Cancers Can Vanish Without Treatment, but How?, Seniors face conflicting advice on cancer tests: Benefit-risk questions lead some to call for age cutoffs, and Rethinking the benefits of breast and prostate cancer screening. These articles were inspired by an editorial published in JAMA last month by Laura Esserman, Yiwey Shieh, and Ian Thompson entitled, appropriately enough, Rethinking Screening for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer. The article was a review and analysis of recent studies about the benefits of screening for breast and prostate cancer in asymptomatic populations and concluded that the benefits of large scale screening programs for breast cancer and prostate cancer tend to be oversold and that they come at a higher price than is usually acknowledged.
For regular readers of SBM, none of this should come as a major surprise, as I have been writing about just such issues for quite some time. Indeed, nearly a year and a half ago, I first wrote The early detection of cancer and improved survival: More complicated than most people think. and then followed it up with Early detection of cancer, part 2: Breast cancer and MRI. In these posts, I pointed out concepts such as lead time bias, length bias, and stage migration (a.k.a. the Will Rogers effect) that confound estimates of benefit due to screening. (Indeed, before you continue reading, I strongly suggest that you go back and read at least the first of the aforementioned two posts to review the concepts of lead time bias and length bias.) Several months later, I wrote an analysis of a fascinating study, entitling my post Do over one in five breast cancers detected by mammography alone really spontaneously regress? At the time, I was somewhat skeptical that the number of breast cancers detected by mammography that spontaneously regress was as high as 20%, but of late I'm becoming less skeptical that the number may be somewhere in that range. Even so, at the time I did not doubt that there likely is a proportion of breast cancers that do spontaneously regress and that that number is likely larger than I would have guessed before the study. Of course, the problem is that we do not currently have any way of figuring out which tumors detected by mammography will fall into the minority that do ultimately regress; so we are morally obligated to treat them all. My most recent foray into this topic was in July, when I analyzed another study that concluded that one in three breast cancers detected by screening are overdiagnosed and overtreated. That last post caused me the most angst, because women commented and wrote me asking me what to do, and I had to answer what I always answer: Follow the standard of care, which is yearly mammography over age 40. This data and these concerns have not yet altered that standard of care, and I am not going to change my practice or my general recommendations to women until a new consensus develops.
