Continued from page 2
Most important is the specific seat and hospitality combination within the track. In some cases these are combined, as for the highest tier options, the Turf Club and Millionaires Row, which have reserved tables which are the ticketed seats within the hospitality. While the Turf Club is generally positioned as the most A-list, where top celebrities watch the race from, the major drawback is that patrons watch through windows. I think a better bet is Millionaire's Row, which has the same table seating, but a large balcony with an excellent view where you can go out and watch the race from. Both offer extensive food service and private betting windows all day long.
Generally the seats are better the higher you go, and thus the 6th floor Millionaire's Row is superior to the 4th floor Millionaire's Row, but both are better than the reserved clubhouse seats from the first to third floor (six is as high as you can go), which in turn are better than the grandstand. Also, the closer to the finish line the better, and the Clubhouse, not the grandstand, is along the home stretch.
I personally think the best combination of value, quality and experience is to get a good clubhouse seat on the second or third level as close to the finish line as possible, coupled with hospitality in the Secretariat Lounge. This is a large private lounge very centrally located on the second floor within the clubhouse, so you can watch races in the traditional fashion, from good open air box seats, then come in as often as you want between races for an air conditioned venue with open bar, free flowing food, live music, large screen and private betting terminals. While not as flashy as the highest tier options, this actually gives more of a race day experience and you cover more ground and see more of Churchill Downs – without ever having to wait on any of the long lines that can form for everything from food to bets. Below this, there are less elaborate hospitality tents and rooms, which can be coupled with less pricey clubhouse and grandstand seating. For instance, a package combining the least expensive uncovered grandstand seats with a Hampton Inn on the outskirts of town and a smaller hospitality suite with cash bar and cash food service runs about $1650 per person with 3-nights lodging. But I think the Derby is an experience worth doing right, and would heartily suggest at a minimum splurging for the Secretariat lounge and second or third floor clubhouse seats. As an example, the price for a 4-day/3-night package with lodging at the Galt House, high-quality second or third box seats in the clubhouse, and hospitality in the Secretariat Lounge, plus assorted extra bells and whistles, is about $4700 per person. The same package with seats and hospitality in the Turf Club is $6500 per person. Remember, all these packages also include the entire Kentucky Oaks Day, so in every case you get two full days of racing and hospitality, and with the better packages food and drink, for this price, in the same seats and same lounges, so come Derby Day, you know exactly where everything is.
Or look at it this way – the difference between a high-end package including all lodging, first-rate hospitality and excellent seats for the weekend and the cheapest package is the same or less as the difference between a coach and first class seat on a typical domestic flight. If you are the kind of person who would ever consider buying a premium airline seat, it does not make sense to not go first class with a Derby package. If seeing the Derby in the most convenient, luxurious, and turnkey fashion is your goal, with eager staffers always available to answer questions and make itinerary changes on the fly, then book a complete package through Churchill Downs' official provider, complete with lodging and ground transportation, and all you have to do is get yourself to Louisville and have fun. This is surprisingly easy, since in addition to the city's airport, both Cincinnati and Indianapolis are less than an hour and a quarter away.
I cannot emphasize enough how much fun the Oaks and Derby is, and why this absolutely should be on your short list of life experiences if you have not been. Good luck!

Comments about ICOM HM167 Speaker Mic for M72:
I use the HM-167 on my IC-m72 marine radio. At the time i bought 2, and gave one to my friend. When we go out on our boats we are able to clearly talk to each, even over the loud boat motor. The length of the wire is the perfect amount to have the radio on your belt and the mic/speaker clipped to your shoulder.

Total War: Rome II
The Radeon R9 290 equals the GeForce GTX 780 in this test.
ArmA III
This test can only be used for top-end graphics cards at 2560x1440.
And the Radeon R9 290 equals the GeForce GTX 780 once again.
Batman: Arkham Origins
It is more comfortable to play this game on the GeForce GTX series when we don't use MSAA but the AMD-based products go ahead with 8x MSAA. For example, the Radeon R9 290 is 19% faster than the GeForce GTX 780 at 2560x1440 with maximum visual quality settings.
Battlefield 4
The Radeon R9 290 is a little faster than the GeForce GTX 780 both at the default frequencies and in the overclocked mode. It is 5-7% slower in comparison with the R9 290X but beats the latter by 8% when overclocked.
The results of this test session are summed up in the following table:
Now we can proceed to our performance summary charts.

No picture received here, Daniel. I need to photograph my persimmon tree. They sure taste yummy!
New profile pic from my yard today. In a week, all of the leaves will fall.
We had two weekend nights of temperatures in the low 20s! My chard took a hit, but I think the kale, broc, etc. survived. Not my raspberries, however. I was tired of eating them, anyway. A hard freeze is good for two foods: B.sprouts and persimmons. Time to enjoy.
Barbara, I'm quite impressed with what you're doing. Ain't gardening fun?!
Joan, your climate is almost Midwestern, similar to where I grew up. I did not move for weather climate - it was for social climate and had opportunity, and felt like I belonged here.
per the weather channel, no freeze predicted here for 2 weeks, then who knows. Average first freeze here is in early Dec, I think.
Garlic I planted about 2 weeks ago is growing. It doesn't mind freeze. I'm pleased that it is growing. Last year I planted earlier, didn't get to it this time.
redearthworms.com has 1/2 pound of red wigglers for 15.95 plus postage. I don't know how reliable they are.
Just checked my worm bin, which is really a rolling composter. They descend through multiple worm bins I've had 15 years. Whenever I clean out the composters, I leave a big wad of worms to start over. They have been through multiple freezes. I'd be happy to mail some if you like. Will need to research how to do that.
In case anyone is wondering, I place the Permaculture article in the wrong group. Deleted it and moved it to here.
Barbara, and my major problem is cold. So, we have to bring the inside during the hot and cold spells. We had our first killing frost this morning, Nov. 2. That is late this this country. We often have a layer of snow by now.
$40.00 is a high price, and I don't do much better. I have enough to share, but the temperature between here and there would prevent sending them.
If you have trouble with smell, I recommend adding shredded newspaper on top of the box with worms. That should absorb the smell. I could be wrong ... I have been known to be wrong many times. Thankfully, I enjoy being corrected.
If you ask to buy what you can afford, you should be able to have a good breeding colony in no time. They love to make babies. Ask him if you can buy $5.00 worth and how many that would be. You just have to make sure you don't overfeed or underfeed the number you get. And, remember, moist, not wet.
Well, my attempts to find red worms on the cheap didn't work out. I just returned from a 50 mile drive in search of a bait shop that carried them with no luck either. So, since there is a reputable local guy who sells them and I can go and pick them up, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet. A regular order from him is $40 - I've sent him an email asking if I can have half an order. Maybe he'll take pity on a old woman who just wants a few worms. (';')
Joan the 50-86 degree limit is the reason I chose to grow them in my office. They would simply cook outside.
Barbara, about red wiggly earthworms. Here are sites I do not recommend.
Uncle Jim's Worm Farm 1,000 Count Red Wiggler Live Composting Worms
The reviews on Gardens Alive have gone down the past two years. I had great service and products when I bought from them, but that was over five years ago.
Worms for vermiculture are (Eisenia foetida, Eisenia andrei, and Lumbricus rubellus
Presently, I get my Eisenia fetida, red wigglies, from a local worm farmer. Perhaps there are local worm farmers in your area.
Red Wigglies thrive between 50 and 86 degrees F.
I wouldn't mail order worms at this time of year, nor in the early spring because of unknown temperatures during transport.
When I bought from Gardens Alive, they would ship only on Mondays because of the fear of delays in transport.

Title: EPA Changed Course After Gas Company Protested
Source: AP
Author: RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI
Date: January 16, 2013
When a man in a Fort Worth suburb reported his family's drinking water had begun bubbling like champagne, the federal government sounded an alarm: A company may have tainted their wells while drilling for natural gas.
At first, the Environmental Protection Agency believed the situation was so serious that it issued a rare emergency order in late 2010 that said at least two homeowners were in immediate danger from a well saturated with flammable methane. More than a year later, the agency rescinded its mandate and refused to explain why.
Now a confidential report obtained by The Associated Press and interviews with company representatives show that the EPA had scientific evidence against the driller, Range Resources, but changed course after the company threatened not to cooperate with a national study into a common form of drilling called hydraulic fracturing.

Work in the Ellermeier Lab focuses on how two Gram positive bacteria, the model organism Bacillus subtilis and the opportunistic human pathogen Clostridium difficile, sense and respond to extracellular signals. We are particularly interested in understanding the response of C. difficile to factors produced by the innate immune system. We are interested in understanding how cells respond to changes in their environment by altering gene expression. To alter gene expression bacteria must detect changes in their environment and then transduce that signal from outside the cell to a transcriptional response inside the cell. We are interested in understanding the basic molecular mechanisms involved in how cells sense and respond to extracellular signals. We utilize genetic, molecular, biochemical and structural approaches to dissect these signal transduction systems.
Our work has revealed the presence of an Extra Cytoplasmic Function (ECF) σ factor, σV, present in B. subtilis and C. difficile that is activated specifically by lysozyme, an essential component of the innate immune system. We have found that σV is required for lysozyme resistance in both organisms. We have also found that σV is required for C. difficile to cause disease in an animal model of infection. The activity of σV is inhibited by the anti-sigma factor RsiV. Activation of σV occurs via proteolytic destruction of an anti-sigma factor RsiV. This degradation occurs only in the presence of lysozyme and requires multiple proteases to destroy RsiV in a process of regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). We are interested in identifying the proteases required for σV activation and understanding the mechanism by which site-1 cleavage of RsiV, and thus σV activation, is controlled. We are also studying the role of additional ECF sigma factors encoded by C. difficile to determine their role in response to cell envelope stress. In addition we are interested in understanding the role of these ECF sigma factors play in survival of the bacterium during an infection.
A second area of focus for the laboratory is the process of cannibalism which occurs during B. subtilis sporulation. We are interested in understanding both the mechanisms of toxin production and how the senses and responds to the toxin SDP. Sporulation is initiated by the activation of a response regulator, Spo0A. The activity of Spo0A is not uniform across all cells of the population, in fact two subpopulations of B. subtilis exist, Spo0A-ON cells and Spo0A-OFF cells. The Spo0A-ON cells produce a toxin, SdpC, which is secreted and kills the SpoOA-OFF siblings. Normally, the Spo0A-ON cells resist the toxic effects of SDP by producing a membrane protein, SdpI, which provides immunity to the toxin. The immunity protein is only produced when extracellular toxin is present. Interestingly, SdpI is also required to induce its own expression in response to extracellular toxin sequestering a transcriptional repressor, SdpR, to the membrane. The sequestration of SdpR by the SdpC/SdpI complex inhibits the activity of the repressor thereby allowing increased transcription of sdpI, and immunity to the toxin.

Writing Myco Portal's first blog post is a whole new experience for me! Still, I am excited about starting a forum that explores small business options for managing employees, improving efficiency and increasing the bottom line.
This blog is intended to engage your mind and to learn your ideas. We want your feedback on specific needs that you see each day in your workplace.
Have you ever felt like a helpless gerbil on the wheel, because there is always someone or some issue consuming your time? You are running hard and fast and not getting anywhere.
Do you need help with automating your employee personnel records? So everyone has the same information as you do and can retrieve it without asking you?
- Do you need help setting up a vacation policy, sick policy, personal time off policy or a PTO policy? We find that creating the policies is the easy part. Establishing the systems to keep up with each employee's use of the policies is another matter. Our automated system for tracking employee's time off is quickly becoming one of our client's favorite features
- Do you need an employee handbook, policy manual or procedure manual? We've got one!
- Do you need help with performance evaluations, specifically with deciding what evaluation tools to use for measuring job performance? We've got that, too!
- How about keeping track of Delegated tasks? When you assign a task to an employee how do you monitor your employee's progress?
- Would you benefit from creating approval processes that are quick and paperless, yet well documented and easily accessible?
- Do you need to decrease the amount of paper you use in your business?
- Can you image having just one master file for your entire business? Do you realize how powerful it would be to have all of the information you need right at your fingertips?
- How much liability exposure could you reduce, not even considering time and money with electronic signatures?
- When was the last time you were asked for a piece of information and could not locate it? How are your audit trails?
Myco Portal's primary goal is to make managing people easy by providing simple solutions to these everyday problems. You can start today by clicking here. This process is easy to learn, decreases human error and cuts your costs of doing business. We all recognize that cutting costs generates a corresponding increase in revenue. A good thing!
What are some specific needs that you see each day in your workplace?
Can tell me the one thing in your business that eats up the most of your time? I know for me, it is people asking how much time off they have.
Please share your thoughts and leave a comment.

The MTNCLIM 2006 Conference, as well as the pre-conference work group sessions,
and post-conference workshop will be held at Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood,
Oregon. Timberline Lodge is an historic facility, built in 1937 and located
at treeline (6,000 ft) on Oregon's highest peak, Mt. Hood, (11,249 ft).
CIRMOUNT supports mitigating greenhouse gas emissions resulting from travel to professional meetings through purchase of equivalent green power Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). At MtnClim 2006, we will display an educational poster and accept donations toward a group REC that we will purchase after the meeting. In subsequent years, we will consider adding a small surcharge to the registration fee to cover this offset.
Carbon-Offsetting Update: As part of CIRMOUNT's priority
to encourage carbon-reduction and offsetting in our work and travel, we
collected $168 in donations from MtnClim participants and purchased MtnClim
group Renewable Energy Credits (green tags) from the Bonneville Environmental
A PDF of the information poster, Going Carbon-Lite, that was presented at MTNCLIM2006 is available from the list of talks and posters; the handout is available for download here.
The Lodge is a 2-hour drive from the Portland International Airport, and accessible by state highway. Rental cars are available at the airport, and several shuttles and Greyhound Bus connect the airport, Portland, and Timberline Lodge.
Shuttle arrangements can be made by calling Luxury Accomodations (503)668-7433 or Sea to Summit (503)286-9333. One-way shuttle prices start at approximately $90 for a single rider and decrease significantly with additional riders--for 2, $45 each; for 3, $40 each; for 4, $35 each. If you wish to coordinate travel from airport to the lodge with another attendee, you will need to do that on your own.
Conference participants will be housed in Timberline Lodge hotel rooms. You must reserve and pay for these individually and separate from the Conference Registration. Lodging must be reserved by July 31, 2006 by calling the lodging reservation phone line: 1-800-547-1406 (code MTNIB for our group rate) or online [not available yet].
Rooms of various sizes and configurations are available. Pictures and room descriptions are available on the lodge website, http://www.timberlinelodge.com/lodge/rooms.shtml. Our group rates for rooms are listed below. These are room rates. A single occupant would pay the whole fee; two people sharing a room would each pay half.

Electoral register
Registering to vote
The way we all register to vote has changed
Before June 2014, the head of every household was responsible for registering everyone living at their address. Now each person is responsible for their own registration using a new secure system called Individual Electoral Registration.
How do I register under the new system?
- Go to Register to vote|
- You'll be asked to enter your name, address, date of birth and a few other details. You'll also need your national insurance number, which can be found on your national insurance card or in official paperwork such as payslips, or letters about pensions, benefits or tax credits.
- Once your application has been approved, look out for confirmation to say you've been registered.
Note: If you don't have a national insurance number, you can still apply online but we will ask you to provide proof of your identity and proof of your address to support your application.
If you prefer you can apply by phone or on a paper, please Contact Electoral Services.
All applications will be checked against government records before you can be added to the register,

Many families dream of owning a vacation home, but few are able to make that a reality. But what if two families teamed up?
That's the story here: By pooling their resources, two Portland couples built this 925-square-foot getaway in Washington's San Juan Islands.
Paul Blanchard was the catalyst. One day about seven years ago ― after the telecommunications engineer worked a string of 10- to 12-hour days ― Paul decided that if he was going to work that hard, he wanted to put his energy toward something he really enjoyed.
Two years later, he and his wife, Henriette, a nurse at Oregon Health & Science University, purchased a small lot on Orcas Island. The lot was reasonably priced because a building moratorium was in place (the local water-treatment facility was over capacity). This didn't trouble the Blanchards, because they didn't intend to build right away.
The plan was accelerated, however, when the topic of building a vacation home arose one evening at a party in Portland. A casual conversation between friends became a formal partnership agreement.
Craig Kelley, an affordable-housing developer, and his wife, Sybil, a community-based science educator, bought in to share ownership of the Orcas Island property.
The four decided on a system for harvesting rainwater for household use that fit the couples' interest in green building techniques ― and provided a means for getting around the building moratorium. Although they were able to swing the cost of the land (about $30,000 per couple), they had to secure a loan for the construction of a home; they now rent the home to help cover loan payments.
Divide and conquer
They split costs and responsibilities 50/50. Paul tracked down possible contractors, found a rental management company, and now markets the property. Henriette took on furnishing the home, and Craig, who was trained as an architect, vetted contractors, oversaw construction, and did the design work ― consulting with the other three throughout the process.
"My intention was to make it a simple box ― easy to construct and therefore less expensive," explains Craig. The 18- by 36-foot rectangle incorporates a living-dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bath on the main floor. A loft houses a second bedroom and a den.
The walls and roof are stress skin panels (see Cost-Saving Tips ), foam insulation sandwiched between oriented strand board (OSB). The panels were delivered precut, numbered, and ready to be joined together. "Using the stress skin panels, we were able to frame, sheathe, and insulate the exterior walls and roof in two and a half days," explains Craig.

The community has been warned to be on guard against gangs operating a major credit card scam in areas with a large number of Jewish residents.
Fraudsters are pretending to be police officers in Barnet, north-west London, in order to trick victims into handing over their card and PIN numbers.
Barnet Police Chief Superintendent Adrian Usher said the scam was targeting elderly, vulnerable and women residents in particular. The borough is home to more Jews than any other in the country.
Ch Supt Usher said it was his duty to warn residents, and offered reassurance that officers "take these crimes very seriously" and were working with specialist units to apprehend offenders.
Volunteers from the Shomrim community security group thwarted an attempted fraud in Golders Green last December. They were called in as scammers worked to trick a Jewish pensioner.
Earlier that month a Jewish woman from Edgware was tricked into handing over £20,000 to a gang operating a similar scam.

Rockstar UPROAR
First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre
Tinley Park, IL
The 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Tour has come to prove that fans of rock will continue rock hell or, quite literally, high water.
While Uproar had some timing issues, such as gates opening nearly an hour late and already 3 songs into the first set, it was the rain that began minutes after the gate opened that defined the day. Sweaters on and puddles filling up, fans of every act pounded through the water, the storm seeming to fuel their screams even more. Surprisingly very few fans were seeking refuge in the Rockstar tent, most choosing instead to take their free drinks stage side where artists commented, "I'm right here with you."
From the opening of Mindset Evolution through the teary finish of Sevendust, yes, I said teary, fans and bands alike gave their all to the outdoor festival. Moving indoors Escape the Fate rallied the fans, preparing them for acts to come and getting the most response by far for Avenged Sevenfold, who seemed to be the crowd favorite for the evening. The Miss Uproar 2011 contest brought back the very intoxicated Art of Dying frontman Jonny Hetherington accompanied by guitarist Greg Bradley to host with members of the remaining bands judging. The crowd favorite earned the crown, a gulp of Jonny's Jack and a handful of condoms presented by drummer Robert Ortiz with the promise of "For later, hopefully with me."
When the lights went down in anticipation of Bullet For My Valentine, Seether, Three Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold the cheers became louder and louder until they rivaled the opening chords themselves. It may have been cold, it may have been wet, but the thunderous riot of fans, the echo of the drums, the screams of the singers and the lights of the stage, were more than enough to warm each and every person in attendance.
Best Band : Three Days Grace
Band to Skip : Hell or Highwater
Thing to change : VIP tents, these were scattered all over, but always empty despite all of the VIP wristbands floating around. Refuge seekers were turned away, even though the tents were empty, it seemed like a waste.
Overall Experience : Wet, soggy, fantastic. Full of energy and high spirits, a show to attend annually.
Standout Moments:
– Sevendust's LaJon Witherspoon coming to tears as Disturbed frontman and "Good friend" David Draiman stood on stage to watch the performance.
– Adam Gotier of Three Days Grace asking "Can we have some fun?" and promptly beginning a very rocked out version of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' amid a very indecisive crowd.
– A defining roar of disapproval at the messages "Go Pack Go" and "Brewers Rule" texted across the Tinley Park Megascreen. And the waves of 'Awwww' at the marriage and homecoming proposals that followed.

text: How Do You Actually Model Data? 3. May 2011 DNB Data Sources (409) Since the 1970's Developers, Analysts and DBAs have been able to represent concepts and relations in the form of data through the use of generic symbols. But what is data modeling? The first time I actually heard this term I could not understand why anyone would want to display a computer on a fashion show runway. Hey, what do you expect? At that time I was a freshman in community college, and obviously this was a long time ago. I have since had the chance to learn what data modeling truly is through using it. Data modeling is a process of breaking down information and/or requirements in to common categories called objects. Once objects start being defined then relationships start to form based on dependencies found amongst other existing objects. Currently, there are several tools on the market that help data designer actually map out objects and their relationships through the use of symbols and lines. These diagrams allow for designs to be review from several perspectives so that designers can ensure that they have the optimal data design for their project and that the design is flexible enough to allow for potential changes and/or extension in the future. Additionally these basic models can always be further refined to show different levels of details depending on the target audience through the use of three different types of models. Conceptual Data Model(CDM)Conceptual Data Models include all key entities and relationships giving a viewer a high level understanding of attributes. Conceptual data model are created by gathering and analyzing information from various sources pertaining to a project during the typical planning phase of a project. Logical Data Model (LDM)Logical Data Models are conceptual data models that have been expanded to include implementation details pertaining to the data that it will store. Additionally, this model typically represents an origination's business requirements and business rules by defining various attribute data types and relationships regarding each entity. This additional information can be directly translated to the Physical Data Model which reduces the actual time need to implement it. Physical Data Model(PDMs)Physical Data Model are transformed Logical Data Models that include the necessary tables, columns, relationships, database properties for the creation of a database. This model also allows for considerations regarding performance, indexing and denormalization that are applied through database rules, data integrity. Further expanding on why we actually use models in modern application/database development can be seen in the benefits that data modeling provides for data modelers and projects themselves, Benefits of Data Modeling according to Applied Information Science Abstraction that allows data designers remove concepts and ideas form hard facts in the form of data. This gives the data designers the ability to express general concepts and/or ideas in a generic form through the use of symbols to represent data items and the relationships between the items. Transparency through the use of data models allows complex ideas to be translated in to simple symbols so that the concept can be understood by all viewpoints and limits the amount of confusion and misunderstanding. Effectiveness in regards to tuning a model for acceptable performance while maintaining affordable operational costs. In addition it allows systems to be built on a solid foundation in terms of data. I shudder at the thought of a world without data modeling, think about it? Data is everywhere in our lives. Data modeling allows for optimizing a design for performance and the reduction of duplication. If one was to design a database without data modeling then I would think that the first things to get impacted would be database performance due to poorly designed database and there would be greater chances of unnecessary data duplication that would also play in to the excessive query times because unneeded records would need to be processed. You could say that a data designer designing a database is like a box of chocolates. You will never know what kind of database you will get until after it is built.

Put down the kool-aid, Glenn
Could Giuliani be the Perot of this decade? If he wanted to be, I think he could. (Heck, if the two parties continue their spiral of mutual destruction, he might even get elected as an independent.)
Technorati Tags: Rudy+Giuliani Glenn+Reynolds Rudy+Giuliani+2008 Election+2008
I think that a third party could be more successful in 2008 than any third party has been thusfar.Posted by: Dorian Davis at September 29, 2005 at 9:00 pm
I don't think a 3rd party can win, but if the Republicans are smart they'll nominate Guiliani. Everyone loves him except the doctrinaire anti-abortion voters. (Even the mildly anti-abortion voters like him.)Posted by: Yehudit at September 29, 2005 at 9:43 pm
Surely Dorian you do not see someone doing as well as TR did in 1912 ?
Of the recent candidates, I think Chuck Hagel and, based on his recent endorsements, Tom Tancredo would be more likely than Rudy G to leave the party.
The other factor I would not rule out would be an independent bid by Roy Moore. I think he'll get screwed out of the nomination in Alabama in 06 and pay the GOP establishment back in spades. I think he would do very well against a lot of the field who tilt a bit left (McCain, Rudy, Pataki) for some conservatives; against Romney (whose Christianity would be questioned) and even against a bland type like Frist.
A gay-loving pro-choicer cannot win a Republican nomination. Ever.
Not to mention a man who divorced his wife and moved in with his lover.
How many Americans actually know that? If Giuliani were smart, he'd run as a Democrat.
If by the Perot of this decade he means the guy that splits the Republican vote and gets
(H.) Clinton elected, then from his lips to God's ears.
Do even DEMOCRATS want HILLARY elected? Come on now…
Though I did love the debut of the campaign commercial starring Geena Davis.
You know what? I give up trying to talk to you people. Go ahead. Ruin the party. Have fun. Nominate some milk-toast ass clown because he'll please the Religious Right and the other "smart" people currently running things. Just don't come crying to me when you end up with a Democrat as president for the next eight years.Posted by: ken at September 30, 2005 at 1:43 pm
Ken, where did THAT come from? No one wants a milquetoast assclown. That said, we don't want someone who's all wrong on moral issues just because they're hawkish.Posted by: Jay at September 30, 2005 at 4:09 pm
What Ken said. RINOs rule!Posted by: Yehudit at September 30, 2005 at 5:29 pm
i second (or third) what Ken said.
If the Brits chose their leaders based on so-called "moral issues" Churchill would never have held office. I'm sure Neville Chamberlain and his ilk were much more "moral".
Ok, 'we' will. Ken, do you understand how elections work? Do you understand how primaries work? It's not like this blog gets to decide who's the candidate just to piss Ken off. I'm just telling you to be realistic. It's not going to happen. You're imagining a situation that I think is not feasible. You're just as bad as the people over at Daily Kos dreaming of a Clark or Dean presidency. It's ridiculous. Look at the primary process. Look at what states make the initial decisions. Look at how candidates were covered the last few go-rounds, how McCain was seen as too liberal, how John Kerry was the least liberal (except for Lieberman). You all are going to be in for a serious shock if you don't face reality. Again, no one but no one loves Rudy more than I do. It's just that he's not going to be president and you should start thinking about plan B (and no, plan B is not Condi).Posted by: Karol at September 30, 2005 at 7:07 pm
Funny, I never thought of elections as predetermined. Somehow I thought the idea of a campaign was.. I don't know… to campaign.
Giuliani has a very tough road ahead of him. But rather than pronounce his chances dead so far ahead of time, why not notice that he has amazingly high levels of support from more factions than just about anyone else right now (except for the Condi infatuation – which most of us share as well), and that the prevailing response to his candidacy is "I love him, but he can't win… right?". Doesn't it say something that so many people see him as their top choice? Why not work to make it happen instead of throwing in the towel so soon?

Gary Carter Murphree
HOUSTON – Gary Carter Murphree, 57, died early Friday evening, March 11, 2011, at the Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo after a long illness. He was born Sept. 25, 1953, in Houston, the son of Maxine Linn Murphree and the late John Alan Murphree. He was the grandson of Emma Boyce Linn and William James "Willie Jim" Linn of Trebloc (Houston) and Bessie Carter Murphree and Roy C. Murphree of Big Creek(Calhoun City). He grew up in Trebloc, graduated from Houston High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree in general agriculture from Mississippi State University in 1976. Gary was a member of the Farm House Fraternity.
He returned to Trebloc where, following in the tradition of his grandfather, Willie Jim and his father, Johnny, he learned the family's farming and cattle business. He eventually created his own operation and became active in the Mississippi Farm Bureau, the Mississippi Cattleman's Association as well as the Chickasaw County Cattleman's Association where he served as either President or Vice-President for 9 years. He was an active member of the Mississippi State University Extension Service, serving both on the Agriculture Advisory Committee and on the Producer Advisory Council. Twice, he was a voting delegate representing Mississippi at the American Soybean Association National Convention.
He pursued an interest in farming and farm real estate, eventually owning and becoming President of U.S. South, Inc., a farm and commercial real estate company. He quickly rose to leadership positions at the state level in the real estate business. In 2004, Governor Haley Barber appointed Gary as one of five real estate commissioners for the State of Mississippi. He served as Vice-President of that Commission and eventually had to decline the Presidency (that was held for him) because of his illness. Other Leadership positions included serving on the National Association of Realtor's 2005 Commercial Alliance Committee. He was a member of the Executive Committee of both the regional and state Association of Realtors. He was active in the Realtors Land Institute of Mississippi, serving in different years as the group's Secretary, Vice-President and President.
Gary will be remembered most for his love of people, many talents and great sense of humor. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. He was often encouraged to enter politics because of his innate people skills but resisted offering himself for elected office. In spite of resisting the urge to enter politics, he was very active in the Republican Party in Mississippi. In 2004. he received a National Republican Congressional Committee Leadership Award as Honorary Co-Chairman of the Business Advisory Council and traveled to Washington regularly to meet with the State Congressional delegation in his leadership roles in farming, ranching, and real estate.
He was a member of the McCondy Methodist Church and a lay speaker in the Methodist Church for 28 years. At many of the services where he spoke, his solo tenor was a regular part of the worship. He was active in community services, serving as a board member of Crime-Stoppers and as a member of the Houston Exchange Club. He was a Mason.
He is survived by his mother, Maxine L. Murphree; a brother, A. Linn Murphree, MD of Los Angeles, Calf.; a sister, Gayle Lindsey (John) of Saltillo; a niece, Vicki Brewer (Hunter) of Madison; a nephew, Chad Klauser, MD, of New York City; a grandniece, Avery Carter Brewer of Madison; a grandnephew, John Hunter Townsend Brewer II of Madison; and two aunts, Mable Carnathan of Trebloc and Anne Hicks (Joe) of Columbus.

Potato Eggplant Casserole
Total Time
Prep 50 mins
Cook 40 mins
The combination of Potato, Egglplant and Tomatoes is perfect. This was one of the first recipes I made when my husband and I were transitioning to a more meatless menu, and found it to be delicious. I'm sure it would be great as a meat dish if you substituted the soy crumbles for ground beef or turkey. I found it orginally on vegweb.com
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large eggplant
- 1 large potato
- 1 large onion
- 14 1⁄2 ounces diced tomatoes or 2 large tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces soy crumbles (soaked in boiling water) or 12 ounces textured soy protein (soaked in boiling water)
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fennel
- 3 cups crushed tomatoes
- 6 ounces fresh spinach
- 3 cups soy mozzarella cheese
- Peel potatoes and eggplant and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on parchment paper and cook in the oven on 400 degrees or until soft. (approx. 15 minutes).
- Saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Add oregano, parsley, basil, cilantro, garlic, fennel, diced tomatoes, and veggie crumbles.
- In 9x13 glass dish, lightly coat the bottom with crushed tomatoes. Layer the bottom of the dish with potatoes. Spread on a layer of "veggie meat" sauce. Then add the layer of spinach. Layer the eggplant and top with remaining veggie sauce. Top the casserole with the soy mozzarella cheese.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Wow that was really nice! I did not use crushed tomatoes,used feta cheese instead of mozarella, and yellow soybeans rather than soy protein. It was delicious!
Great Recipe. I served it to my friends from Holland when they were visiting and they loved it. If I were to change one thing it would probably be the amount of crushed tomatoes used on the bottom layer of the casserole...Maybe half a can would suffice.

The timing of my arrival back to Ladakh in the fall of 2005 was, to use a favourite Tibetan Buddhist expression, 'auspicious'. It coincided with a major address the Dalai Lama was giving to the people of Leh. In the open air grounds beside the Dalai Lama's summer residence, he spoke on three consecutive mornings, giving two hour presentations to a gathering of 12,000. Most of the topics covered in the addresses were familiar themes of his; human ethics, the quest for happiness and contentment, and a discussion on universal responsibility.
Tibetan Buddhists from all over Ladakh came to hear their spiritual leader. For the first time in their lives, the Changpa en masse had left their encampments to gather in Leh for the address. During those first few days in Leh, I had the unusual sensation of regularly bumping into my nomad acquaintances on crowded city sidewalks.
For my Kharnak friends and the Changpa in general, last summer's drought was followed by a severe winter. The already large number of weakened animals were further culled by the winter's deep snow and cold temperatures. All together 60 yaks died by starvation or hungry wolves and snow leopards in Kharnak during the winter. There was similar news when I visited Korzok tribe, northwest of Kharnak; a tribe with deep roots in Bon shamanism. A nomad told me 70 out of her 170 sheep and goats were lost during winter to predator attacks and starvation. Across Changthang, who ever I talked to, the story was the same.
But the deep snow and a spring that came late, replenished the ground with moisture. In spring there was a relative surge of new vegetation on the land and with less animals and more grass, the sheep, goats and yaks put on weight and expanded in number. Pashmina and wool prices jumped. The money butchers were willing to pay for the Changpa's goats and sheep increased by a third. Even with the winter's losses, the morale of the nomads was much improved.
There were still a number of environmental concerns. Apart from the overall worry of a drying trend in the general character of the Himalayan climate, a more immediate threat had suddenly emerged. From Tibet, a plague of locust had arrived. The swarms were positioned at the edge of their territory, north of the Indus River. The grasshoppers were dusty brown in colour and frightfully large. They scooted across the ground like big dried oak leaves blown by the wind. And when they flew, hovered and sputtered in the air like the churning blades of Sikorsky helicopters. The below freezing night temperatures of October and the dying vegetation of the late fall season had managed to stop their advance, for now. This was a serious issue for all the nomads and farmers in eastern Ladakh. They and their animals couldn't share the already scant mountain vegetation with a million voracious, gigantic insects and survive.
I continued my nomad work in Changthang, gaining new insights into Kharnakpa life at their Yagang encampment as well as travelling into the camps of the Korzokpa near Korzok and the Anghoam tribe near Puga.

if you list the axioms you use, i will show you it is a consequence of those axioms.
To show W is a subspace of V, it needs to be show 0 is in W, and W is closed under addition and scalar multiplication. In the axioms for a vector space, it does not say it needs to be closed under scalar multiplication/addition. Is it a consequence of the axioms?
The point is that the definitions of addition and scalar multiplication must specify that the result is a vector. That is, the addition is a function from VxV to V and scalar multiplication is a function from FxV to V. The fact that the result must be a vector is closure for those operations.
for any mapping to be defined, you need to specify two things, first: a domain, and co-domain. it is not merely enough to define a formula for f(x,y), you must say what it is allowed to be.
now, in a vector space, the primary operation of interest is the vector sum: f(x,y) = x+y. this is a mapping from VxV--->V, intrinsic to the definition is: you take 2 vectors, do something you call "adding" and you get a 3rd vector. some textbooks aren't very explicit about this, but it is basic to the characterization of any algebraic structure, when defining operations, you have to specify "the type of inputs and the type of outputs". for a vector space, the requirement is that the 2 inputs (since there are 2 this is a 2-ary, or binary operation) are vectors, and the output is also a vector. this is expressed different ways:
1) + is a binary operation on V
2) u+v is the vector that..... (note by calling u+v a vector, we are claiming u+v is in V), or defined as.....
3) +:VxV--->V +(u,v) = u+v (sometimes authors use "s(u,v)" for sum).
often this isn't even called an axiom, but it concealed in some introductory text which many people gloss over, because it isn't all by itself with a big number by it saying: hey! i'm an axiom!
now, in general, not just with vector spaces, but with fields, or polynomials, a sub-thing is a smaller thing you get by using the same operations and rules of the bigger thing, but is a thing in its own right. translated into vector-ese this is:
a subspace U, of a vector space V, is a subset U of the underlying set V, such that U is a vector space in itself, when using the same definition of vector sum and scalar multiplication that we use for V.
this means U has to satisfy all of the axioms for a vector space. so if + on V, takes a pair of V-vectors, and spits out a V-vector, then the first thing we need to do is check that that same operation + on U, spits out a U-vector, when we add two U-vectors. otherwise u1+u2 goes "outside" U, and U is not a self-contained vector space (we have to make it bigger in order for it to work).
the exact same reasoning applies to scalar multiplication, which is a "mixed binary" operation which goes from FxV--->V (often F is the real numbers). if we want a subset U of V to be a self-contained vector space, we need the same scalar multiplication to "stay in U" FxU--->U.
read carefully the paragraaphs just before the place in your text where the axioms are listed, and tell me what you find there.
My objection is this. You say 'you take 2 vectors, do something you call "adding" and you get a 3rd vector'. But that statement would still be true if '3rd vector' was from a different vector space W. I think your answer will be that it is implicity understood to be an operation V X V-> V.
it shouldn't be implicit. if your textbook does not specifically state that vector addition on V must produce another vector in V, then shame on it.
the term "vector" can have many meanings (a lot of very different sets can be made into vector spaces, some of them are....unusual).
so the set V that gives us our set of "what we are calling vectors" has to be defined beforehand. you can't just assume "people know what vectors are".

Annual Meeting Recap
On November 13, the VAA had its Annual Meeting. A brief recap of the events:
- Forster Davis, a MN Soccer referee for over 33 years, spoke about changes in youth sports over the past 4 decades and about the importance of parents and coaches teaching transferrable skills, and reinforcing natural skills, to our young athletes.
- The VAA's fiscal-year ended October 31, 2012 and the Association is financially healthy. The majority of our sports operated at a break-even or positive level and those that needed to re-invest in equipment, like football, were able due to the VAA's reserves.
- Lisa Arend was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year for her work with the Track, Baseball, and Basketball programs. Thanks, Lisa!
- Brian Owen and Will Arend were recognized as Paul Bronson Memorial Coach of the Year for Traveling and Community respectively. Their leadership in baseball and basketball really had a positive impact on VAA participants.
- Scott Goettl, past-Treasurer for VAA, was recognized with the President's Award. Scott is a great ambassador for VAA and his fiscal management of the Association over the past 4 years is the reason for our healthy position today.
- Twenty commissioners and co-commissioners were recognized for the invaluable leadership they provide to the individual sports. Our Association does not exist without their tireless efforts – thank you.
- Kelly Erickson and Laurie DePerez completed their terms on the Board of Directors – thank you for all your time and energy!
- Peter Blattner, Kevin Britt, Disraeli Davis, Narate Keys and Brad Kragness were elected for terms to the Board of Directors. We had 11 strong, motivated candidates and welcome these five to their new positions.
The VAA's initiatives for 2013 include a successful launch of the new website and registration system, a focus on marketing and awareness to serve as many children as possible, and developing our volunteer coaches to improve the experience of our young athletes.
We look forward to all the successes and challenges of the next year!

For the ones you said "???", i would suggest something like this (but im not a maths student so i dont know how much detail is supposed to be in the answer):
(2) i dont think you can deduce the number of rows in A. Proof by contradiction: Suppose you knew A and it had m rows, if you added a copy of the last row the same vector x would still solve Ax=d. Alternatively (and trivially) add a row of zeros to both A and d. All that can be deduced is the number of linearly independant rows in A (which is the next question)
(3) 3
There is only one solution iff there are 5 unique rows (Rouché–Capelli theoum according to wikipedia). Your system has infinitely many solutions (corresponding to all possible values of s and t). each "spare" variable means the rank of A must be reduced by 1.
This could be proved by adding 2 new (linearly independant) equations for s,t and noting that there is then only 1 solution.
I'll leave it to someone better than me to verify your other answers.

Yes, you read that headline right. And if you did not blink, or better yet recoil in disgust, then you are a part of the problem. Last week, GoLocalWorcester published Nicholas Handy's more measured piece on the role of women's issues could play in differentiating the three Democrats hoping to win the gubanatorial primary. But headlines matter and this one is a doosey: "Is Coakley Using Women's Issues as a Campaign Crutch?" Hard to imagine Massachusetts has one of the worst records in electing women, eh?
It's important to spell out why, exactly, this headline is so problematic. It directly suggests women's issues are less important than other issues to the voters of Massachusetts and only a candidate in trouble would prominently feature women's issues. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Candidates of all political stripes and genders run on issues they "own" and have both legitimacy and competence within. In political science, we call this "issue ownership" and it is fundamental to successful campaigning and legislating.
No one asked Mitt Romney, for instance, to not stress how his background in business and finance could advantage Massachusetts when he ran for governor. In the GoLocalWorcester piece itself, Steve Grossman seeks to change the conversation stressing his own acumen in job creation saying:
Women's rights issues are very important and we are all doing our part to speak to the issues. But when we get down to the last part of this campaign, I think that voters are going to look at the number one issue in Massachusetts right now: job creation. This is something that I have proven that I can do.
I am 100% confident that Grossman will never face a headline questioning whether his attempt to shift the conversation to job creation is a "campaign crutch" — even as his own polling shows him 23 points down against Coakley.
Candidates can and should stress the issues they know best and have a proven track record. Thus is a key way they appeal to voters. For Attorney General Martha Coakley, women's reproductive rights, especially in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on the MA buffer zone law she was integral in passing, are a highlight in her resume that can capture the dollars and turnout of Massachusetts women who support a pro-choice agenda. Handy uses a quote of mine to make this point at the end of the article and he is a strong reporter with whom I enjoy talking. The headline nonetheless begs the reader to belittle Martha Coakley's strength on women's issues in ways that have not been the case for male candidates. It rests on an unstated premise that women's issues are not "real" issues or are "soft" secondary issues.
Editors have an increasingly difficult job of not only producing solid journalism but getting readers to their site with provocative headlines. The moral of this story is clear though: Sexy headlines need not be sexist.
