ALL ABOARD!!! The Bandwagon takin all ticket holders.
Okay, so I had some time to do a litte sketch of a bandwagon. Sue me. But it articulates the point I am trying to make. Coming back from the break, the Rockies are gaining momentum taking down the Padres 10-1. The funny thing is, I don't think anyone outside of Colorado even recognizes the Rockies are still within reach of the division lead and eight games behind the Dodgers who have the best record in baseball.
That is unless of course you are a Rockies die-hard and have known the mighty defeats and felt the highs of this current turn-around that has lasted over the month of June and into the middle of July.
But along with the continued success, comes the inevitable knock on the Rockies fanbase from national media of how we are bandwagoners. Eh, excuse me I practically own at least a wheel on the damn thing for the contributions I have put into the team from my hard earned money.
I'm ready for it though and I am welcoming all bandwagoners onto the ever increasing popular mode of transportation. In 2007 I had to listen to idiots like Colin Cowherd of ESPN make the point how Rockies fans were a joke and just watching any game you could see the tags hanging from their new hats. We weren't a baseball town they said. We could care less about our team they said.
It's true, a lot of the faithful gave up hope in the years after the Rockies made their first playoff visit. They saw management try and fail to bring in worthwhile talent and more retreads came and went then I can count. Money was thrown away like nothing and we became the laughing stock of the baseball world. Maybe not as bad as the current day Nationals, but I took a lot of abuse in those years wearing a Rockies hat.
There was a plan we were told. The Rockies could not afford to bring in tons of high priced talent so we would grow it they said. We had to wait patiently. I remember in 2006 how I could see the makings of some good young players and how excited I became. It ended up being a sub-par year, but I was hopeful. 2007 came and we started out bad again. I can remember sitting in sub-freezing temperatures at the second game of the year at Coors Field and a young rookie name Tulowitzki would help win the game in extra-innings. I saw a glimmer and went to a ton of games that year.
I've mentioned how my father and I will always debate who told who the other the "streak" had to happen if we were going to make the playoffs. I say it was me because I remember sitting on the first base line and texting him that we needed to win 21 games and we'd be in. He says he told me and somewhere along the line he did, but I remember exactly when I said it and I say I was first.
No matter, they made it into the playoffs in grand style. Most notably in a 13 inning game I was at and will never forget as long as I live. Probably, one of the best, if not the best game I'll ever see. I remember that team and how it seemed they were on auto pilot. Nothing could stop them, except time. They had swept the entire NLDS and NLCS and they had too much time to slow down and think about what they had just done. That much time would get into the head of any man. Along came a more experienced and veteran Red Sox team that took full advantage of that weakness like any great competitor would.
In 2009 I saw it so much earlier this time. I got to see what I knew was there the whole time that night in Houston. I watched the boys battle back from embarrassing losses and take one on the way out of town. I watched them sweep the Cardinals in St. Louis, a feat that had not been done in decades I was told. I saw them head into Milwaukee with a swagger I knew they could have all along.
So the national media came, gave them five minutes to point out what they had done and poof. The AL East would still get most of the coverage, but the nation had overlooked a truly remarkable accomplishment. The Rockies had embarked on a streak that had not been seen in over 40 years of baseball, but it got the casual mention.
I'm not heartbroken or even surprised. Major League baseball doesn't make the type of money a Dodgers-Yankees World Series makes and I understand there are millions more people living in those markets. There is another point that needs to be made too. Those markets also have generations that have grown up with them. Grandfathers who took fathers who took sons who took sons and daughters who continue to take their offspring. The Rockies, for all intensive purposes are just coming into the first generation old enough to bring their children to the ballpark.
You've got bloggers like Baby Paul who are prime examples of what is up and coming for the Rockies fan base. I met a guy about my age who had flown his son and he to Milwaukee to catch a single game against the Brewers. This is the future of Rockies baseball in Colorado.
So don't judge our fanbase because we are young or because many many people will jump on this bandwagon that is ever growing in popularity in our beautiful state. We are fans, we love our team, and if you read any of the many great Rockies bloggers on this site, I think you will take away that feeling. We may not have millions behind us or have celebrities wearing our gear to make a fashion statement, but we have true blooded baseball fans who came together from all teams and histories and unite behind the purple and white.
I said it at the beginning of the season and you can read as far back into my blog as you want. This team will be a team to be reckoned with and the next time you want to knock on the NL West as being the worst division in baseball, look at the stats and see how many Cy Young winners have come from there. You might just gain a little more respect.
The Rockies may get over looked in the media but they don't care. They aren't playing for the fame. They are playing for the game and each man behind them. They will win more games and I undoubtedly expect they will be surprising a lot of people come the end of the season. The media will once again give them five minutes as they look to the Dodgers or the Yankees or Red Sox. It's predictable, but if you are a baseball fan, a real baseball fan who loves the game don't be afraid to learn a thing or two about this team and these Rockies because they could just make history.
Don't say I didn't tell ya so.

I LOVE THE SKETCH! 🙂 I think it's safe to say I've been on the bandwagon since about the middle of spring training. But my Rockies love won't surpass the White Sox and Giants love. Try as you might. 🙂 The Rockies bloggers I've found here are some of my favorite people. You all definitely love your team, and the love you have for them is blatantly obvious. So obvious that you got me rooting for them unless they play the Giants. Just know that if you see this White Sox fan rockin' her new Brad Hawpe shirt on TV this Saturday, you had something to do with it. And leave me a comment letting me know I was on TV. 🙂
Great drawing Tom! And I think your "lament" is one that Rays Renegade has also. Your teams are new and your in markets were there are a lot of transplants who are still faithful to their "home" teams. And no – the Rockies don't get the respect they deserve. Living it Boston it is hard for me to say that the Red Sox get too much coverage – they are our home team! But you are right – we need to have more coverage of all our teams. I had hoped that MLB Networked would have helped more with that then they probably have. Tom – I hope my Red Sox meet your Rockies in the World Series!
Nice drawing, except I really don't like the Padres getting tramped of course🙂 Though it's definitely happening, my Padres have a series to win here! You guys have definitely been very quiet on the national media. Like the big winning streak you guys had recently, nobody really noticed until near the end. That's the way it was with the Padres' 10-gamer too. Terribly sad, but I think you guys have a chance for the NL West. Hopefully the Dodgers will fall apart soon, and there can be a big battle between the Rockies and the Giants. I love how you didn't even mention the Diamondbacks in the sketch, even though they are "better" record-wise than us! LOL!! Well, my Padres need a few wins here. GO PADRES!!!
Nice drawing.🙂 & I know sort of how you feel. Sometimes it just seems like the Media & other fans dont give teams the respect they deserve, & also the fans the same respect they deserve. I have to say, I do respect the Rockies though. They are a great team. http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/
You got to remember to be the ticketaker on the Rockies bandwagon.
That way to remember who is not getting on every year, but is simply buying a ticket when the spirit hits them, or the playoffs are within sight.
I have kicked a few freeloader to the curb with counterfiet bandwagon tickets, but mostly it is the drunk ones that hit the asphalt first for some reason.
Awesome post.
Reminds me of…………..well, September 2008 and the 2 millino Rays supporter that came out of the woodwork wearing Bucs NFL Championship underwear.
Wonder how must they go for now on EBay?
Rays Renegade
I think that it is inevitable that GMs will come sniffing around Coors Field looking for pitching. No doubt, they'll be inquiring about Marquis and Jimenez.
You guys have a good thing going in Colorado, and I'm hoping it continues. But it won't if you guys get rid of your best.
I guess I'm kind of a bandwagon fan of the Rox in that I've always liked them and hoped they did well, but never actively rooted for them. 2007 was great for that area, and it would be great to see two recent expansion teams (Rox/Rays) meet up in the Series.
Love the sketch. Dinger looks especially adorable😀
Young rookie named Tulowitzki… gosh, that name sounds so familiar… I wonder why?
It doesn't matter if nobody else sees us. What matters is that we see us, and we never give up, and that'll get us far. You and I have more fan in us than some sections of Yankee Stadium.
Can I please be the one who pushes people off the bandwagon?
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Meh, the mainstream media doesn't pay attention to teams outside New York or Boston, so they think all fans are bandwagon fans. Heaven forbid they should do any research into attendance figures or actually talk to any die-hard fans or anything, it's just a lot easier to show video of half-empty stadiums.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
Great sketch. You have to be riding in a Rockies Limo, the kind of fan you are and laughing at all those on desparately hopping on the bandwagon.
Toronto is the exact same way. I've come to accept that we aren't a baseball town. It is too bad that those fans give diehard fans a bad image … but what can you do?? I'm going to be Yankees fan that is for sure. Halladay is under-appreciated in Toronto because of the fans. Some ask if we even deserve to have a player like him? I despise that kind of talk, but there is nothing I can do about it!!! All I know is I appreciate Halladay and that is good enough for me.
Very nice sketch! But the D-Backs are missing. LOL. It's obvious that the Rockies are doing a better job than the Padres. You guys have turned things around and it's time for the Padres to shine.
that photo looks very artisitic ,what happended to the d backs ,i thought we hated them and wanted to stomp them most !oh well go rockies,got to prove were something more
Oh my god, could your drawing be any more amazing?! I am a fan of it, but not a bandwagon fan of it. What's tough is I don't think you can go to any team and not have bandwagon fans. Pretty much the same thing happened with the Nuggets, if the Avalanche can get it together, it'll happen with them too. Bandwagoners are apart of sports… but we'll represent the crazy ones.
Nice drawling! Just if the giants get a bat I bet the win it but something tells me they will not.
Hey, the Rockies always have a chance. Everyone (ok, Them, the Rockies, and the Giants–sorry, Padres fans) has a chance in our division. It's one of the best things about it, don't you think? I'm rooting for the Rockies, cause I don't like the other teams with shots…and it's amazing that they have almost no big names and they're doing really well…I don't know who anyone besides Dexter Fowler is on them.

Oscar-Winning Director Sydney Pollack Dead at 73
Sydney Pollack, the director, producer and actor whose 1985 drama Out of Africa earned him that year's Best Picture and Director Oscars, died today at his home in Pacific Palisades. He was 73. He had suffered from cancer for more than a year, completing his final film — the documentary Sketches of Frank Gehry — in 2005. Pollack worked at the helm of benchmarks in three decades including They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (for which he earned his first Oscar nomination), The Way We Were, Three Days of the Condor and Tootsie. He found his most significant acclaim after directing Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in Out of Africa, going on to work with Tom Cruise (The Firm), Harrison Ford (Sabrina, Random Hearts) and Nicole Kidman (The Interpreter) in the years that followed.
Pollack was an even more prolific producer, sharing credits on nearly four dozen titles including last year's Best Picture nominee Michael Clayton — in which he also acted opposite George Clooney. His other acting credits include Husbands and Wives, Eyes Wide Shut, and most recently, Made of Honor. Pollack was a partner of the late Anthony Minghella in Mirage Productions, which pushed virtually all of the directors' respective projects over the last 10 years as well as the upcoming Kate Winslet film The Reader; it remains to be seen what will happen with Mirage's first-look deal with The Weinstein Company and other projects in development.

(CBS) – Federal prosecutors are now ready to file their plea agreement with Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., CBS 2 has learned.
Jackson's wife, Sandi, faces legal troubles under the arrangement.
Formal charges against Jesse Jackson Jr. could be filed as soon as Friday and Tuesday at the latest. His plea has also implicated his wife, leading to tax fraud charges against her.
The filing at the U.S District Courthouse in Washington will not require a court appearance by either Jackson. Plea agreements will be submitted to the court clerk and assigned to judges, who will set initial court dates.
As CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reported last week, Jesse Jackson Jr. will plead guilty to one felony count of misuse of campaign funds and then let a federal judge determine his punishment, which according to the agreement could range from probation to five years in prison.

It's easy, first define
Now, differentiate implicity, and yields
And we're done.
I have a formula that I am trying to differentiate, but having lots of problems with it:
r(s)= tan^-1 s, root of 2 /2 log(1+s^2), s - tan^-1 s)
its derivates:
r'(s) = ( ( 1+s^2)^-1, root of 2 s(1+s^2)^-1, 1- (1+s^2)-1
= (1+s^2)^-1 (1, root of 2 s, s^2)
I dont know how the derivative of tan^-1(s) = 1/1+s^2, can anyone explain?
And cannot follow how all the derivatives work out, can anyone talk me through it? I have exam shortly and ally need to get to know these off by heart.

Madness and Creativity: The Psychological Link
Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 quarters
Taught by
What is creativity? Is there a relationship between states of mind and a fertile imagination? What are the psychological mechanisms involved in the larger action of the human imagination, urging us to explore new avenues, to see what others have not seen, to create what no one has yet created? Many of the world's greatest writers, artists and thinkers have been known to struggle with conditions classified as abnormal by psychologists. We will explore these conditions and their impact on creativity, searching further for any special links between certain kinds of abnormal psychological conditions and the drive to create.
Our interdisciplinary program is not intended to serve as therapy, but rather is a serious study of psychology, literature, the arts, imagination and the creative impulse. We will approach our questions through various modes of inquiry. Through an in-depth study of abnormal psychology, we will learn to identify and understand a number of conditions. We will investigate modern art history and its fascination with the art produced by individuals reputed to be cultural "outsiders," such as folk art, art of the insane, art brut and self-taught artists. Through this study we will explore how societies form a group identity which is established in relation to some designated "other." Our readings combine art theory with psychological case studies by writers such as Sacks and Ramachandran and with imaginative literature by Gogol, Dostoevsky, Poe, Kafka, Plath, Gilman and many others that all describe abnormal psychological conditions. We will respond to our readings by channeling the imagination with a variety of creative projects. Finally, we will also study the normal mind and how it functions in both mundane and creative ways.
In both quarters of our program students will discuss assigned readings in seminars, will engage in active writing exercises and in rigorous two-dimensional and thre-dimensional visual art work in ceramics, mixed-media sculpture, collage, and drawing. Assignments may include research papers, poster projects, creative writing, performances and visual arts projects. Weekly films and discussions of these films will enhance our examination of the uses or influence of psychological conditions in the creation of literature, art and music. Guest speakers will provide additional workshops and lectures in various artistic modalities. In fall term we will take field trips to the Tacoma Art Museum and the Museum of Glass, and our work that term will prepare students to undertake a culminating project in winter term. In all our activities, students will have ample opportunities to explore their own creativity and imagination.

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. Such batteries could power various electronics as well as vehicles and, since they are very small, can enable longer battery lives compared to existing accumulators.
The goal of the work, led by MIT Professors Angela Belcher, Paula Hammond and Yet-Ming Chiang, is to create batteries that cram as much electrical energy into as small or lightweight a package as possible. The batteries they hope to build could range from the size of a grain of rice up to the size of existing hearing aid batteries. By manipulating a few genes inside these viruses, the team was able to coax the organisms to grow and self-assemble into a functional electronic device.
Batteries consist of two opposite electrodes – an anode and cathode – separated by an electrolyte. In the current work, the MIT team used an intricate assembly process to create the anode. Specifically, they manipulated the genes in a laboratory strain of a common virus, making the microbes collect exotic materials – cobalt oxide and gold. Because these viruses are negatively charged, they can be layered between oppositely charged polymers to form thin, flexible sheets. As a result, the scientists got a dense, virus-loaded film that serves as an anode.
In their research, the MIT team altered the virus's genes so they make protein coats that collect molecules of cobalt oxide, plus gold. The viruses then align themselves on the polymer surface to form ultrathin wires. Each virus, and thus the wire, is only 6nm in diameter, and 880nm in length.
"We can make them in larger diameters, but they are all 880nm in length, which matches the length of the individual virus particles. Once we've altered the genes of the virus to grow the electrode material, we can easily clone millions of identical copies of the virus to use in assembling our batteries," said Ms. Belcher.
For the metal oxide the researchers chose cobalt oxide because it has very good specific capacity, which will produce batteries with high energy density, meaning it can store two or three times more energy for its size and weight compared to previously used battery electrode materials. Adding the gold further increased the wires' energy density, according to the researchers.
Equally important, the reactions needed to create nanowires occur at normal room temperatures and pressures, so there is no need for expensive pressure-cooking technology to get the job done.
The work is important also because energy density is a vital quality in batteries. A lack of energy density – meaning the amount of charge a battery of a given size can usefully carry – is what has hampered development of electric cars, since existing batteries are generally too heavy and too weak to compete with gasoline as an energy source. Still, battery technology is gradually being improved and may someday even become competitive as the price of oil escalates.
"The nanoscale materials we've made supply two to three times the electrical energy for their mass or volume, compared to previous materials," the team reported.
The researchers' work was spurred by growing evidence that 'nanostructured' materials can improve the electrochemical properties of lithium-ion batteries, compared to more conventional batteries based on older technologies.
But to create new battery materials, Ms. Belcher noted, special control is needed so just the right amounts of the exotic materials end up exactly where they belong. Cobalt oxide has reportedly shown excellent electrochemical cycling properties, and is thus under consideration as an electrode for advanced lithium-ion batteries.
This work was funded by the Army Research Office Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies, the Institute of Soldier Nanotechnologies and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation.

text: It's really the same idea. Suppose a, b and c are such that af + bg + ch =0. This is really a function equation. That is it means for all t, af(t) +bg(t) + ch(t) = 0. Now one way to prove independence is to find 3 different t values to get 3 equations in a, b and c whose only solution is 0. If you happen to know about Wronskians, there's another approach.

That race looks great!
I am thinking of doing an 11km beach run in March (Autumn here). I like the idea of running in the sand!
Runners run.
A friend of mine did that race solo a couple of times. He didn't really have a crew, so he went around the island and buried food for himself on the beach in different places. He described a pretty funny scene of running along an up-scale tourist beach looking like something the cat spit up and then suddenly stopping, digging a hole in the sand, pulling out a PB&J sandwich and eating it--much to the shock of the nearby beachgoers.
Have fun!

Microsoft Introduces Augmented Reality System "MirageTable"

," said the Microsoft research team. "The unique benefit of this set-up is that two users share not only the 3D image of each other, but also the tabletop task space in front of them."
The researchers have already demonstrated MirageTable in a video online, where two people are in different locations, but use MirageTable to build a design out of blocks with one another.
While MirageTable looks promising, there are still a few bugs to work out. For instance, the system can only capture the front-side of objects, which leads to gaps. It also only allows people to scoop objects from underneath to hold them.
"Simulating realistic grasping behaviours given depth camera input remains an open research problem," said the Microsoft research team. "While we are still very far from an implementation of a working version of Star Trek's Holodeck, MirageTable shows the potential of the projector/depth camera system to simulate such scenarios."
A potential use for MirageTable includes new ways to play video games.

Susan Lease, coordinator of the event, said she estimated there were 750 to 1,000 children that participated in games set up at the carnival, according to the amount of treat bags that were given away.
Lease said many of the businesses in town made donations to help buy the candy.
Children were dressed as princesses, ghosts and more at Saturday's VFW carnival.
Doyle Frazier of the Ministry of Hope said the event was fantastic. He said more than 300 cans of food were donated.

Sometimes taxonomists create new names for groups that already have a name. They may do this because they are unaware of the original name, or they may think the organism before them belongs to a different group when in fact it does not. If two or more names are found to apply to the same group, they are considered synonyms. In most cases, the first name takes priority and is considered to be the valid or accepted name. However, there can be exceptions, and it's not always easy to determine which of a series of synonyms should be considered valid or accepted. Here we list the synonyms provided to EOL by our classification partners. We also include other versions of the name that most likely refer to the same group, for example, misspellings in the literature or different variations of the authorship associated with the name.

I wore this to go to dinner & the theatre with my mum earlier this week.
All I can think about when I am shopping at the moment is sweaters & jumpers, which can only mean one thing - Autumn has officially arrived! Yay! In fact, I bought a black & silver jumper dress after work today, which I will show you guys soon =]
Also, any UK bloggers out there who share my guilty pleasure: XFactor?! I can't decide which act is my favourite yet, hmm. I definitely wasn't keen on the styling done on the girlband Belle Amie tonight. Especially the girl wearing the flowing white top, white sequined knickers & black tights; she looked really uncomfortable in it!

Capturing these edible masterminds behind the scenes in their gardens, kitchens, and restaurants, Selby artfully portrays popular foods and the people behind them. Each cook shares a signature recipe, accompanied by handwritten questionnaires and watercolor illustrations that look just as mouthwatering as the recipes themselves.

A Simple and Economic Solution for Rising Oil Temps Diesels are built to work hard. Typically, hard work raises operating temperatures. More fuel raises EGTs, and heavy towing not only gets the transmission hot, it can also raise both the coolant and oil temps. Most diesels are designed to handle these situations, but since adequate fluid cooling is one of the keys to longevity, increasing that cooling capacity is never a bad idea.
Most diesels run separate oil and transmission coolers—which are usually externally mounted—to keep temps within the normal range. Ford, on the other hand, uses a water-to-oil intercooler on both the 6.0 and 6.4L Power Strokes. This unit's design flaw is legendary on the 6.0L, because it often leads to more expensive repairs (such as replacing both the oil cooler and EGR cooler) or worse, if coolant and oil become mixed.
In a nutshell, Ford's oil cooler design is a square unit that rides in the valley of engine and has small passages for both the oil and coolant inside. The passages are small enough to become plugged with coolant deposits over time, and that's when the trouble starts. The standard diagnostic test for cooler operation is to compare the engine's coolant temperature against the oil temperature. By factory specs, anything under 14 degrees difference, and the cooler is doing its job. Anything over 15 degrees difference, and you've got the start of issues with the factory oil cooler.
If you own a 6.4L Power Stroke, the fix is not simple or cheap. Due to the tight constraints of the engine compartment, you almost always have to pull the cab to get all the stuff off the top of the engine to even access the factory oil cooler. On a 6.0L, things are not quite so tight under the hood. You have a few options at this point: Replace the stock cooler and pray it won't crap out again before you sell the truck, or swap out the factory cooler with a full external unit, complete with remote-mount oil filter.
But Bullet Proof Diesel, in Mesa, Arizona, has developed a new fix for the 6.4L that doesn't require cab removal and retains the factory oil cooler to get the oil up to temp quicker in colder climates. Bullet Proof Diesel's 6.4L Half Kit, as the company calls it, is a great compromise between Bullet Proof's full oil cooler replacement system, which does away with the factory cooler entirely, and the stock fix.
The kit incorporates an external Fluidyne oil cooler that works in conjunction with the factory unit to drop temps when they start to get outside the normal range. It's also a simple add-on insurance package for folks who tow with their trucks. The system plumbs into the stock oil cooler via the factory oil filter canister and relocates the oil filter to a much larger, fender-mounted unit with a simple screw-on, commercial-grade oil filter. According to Bullet Proof, a typical installation will add 3 to 4 more quarts of oil to the engine and drop oil temps on the average of 15 degrees, depending on the condition of the stock oil cooler.
Removing excess heat from the engine also reduces the strain on the cooling system in general. And even though the 6.4L Ford utilizes no less than seven radiator/coolers, there's still room for one more without transferring too much heat behind it. According to Bullet Proof, the Half Kit also buys you more time before you eventually have to replace the factory oil cooler.
More importantly, Bullet Proof says the average driveway mechanic can install the kit in a few hours with hand tools. The install is made even easier with some of the most detailed instructions we've ever seen for an aftermarket product. Plus, Bullet Proof has tech support available if you get stuck.
Bullet Proof Diesel's new Half Kit for the 6.4L is not only a good solution to the factory oil cooler issue, it also buys you some peace of mind with added cooling capacity when towing heavy.

This Entrepreneurship Initiative, building on the strengths of existing programs at the Center for Civic Engagement and across campus, was motivated in part by strong interest from both alumni and students. It is one of our new Transition to Impact programs, which help our students move easily from our campus environment to work and a meaningful life after graduation.
For the past year, we have been exploring the many relevant and important connections between entrepreneurship, innovation, and the liberal arts and what kinds of entrepreneurial opportunities exist for our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
This summer we piloted two new programs: the Venture Lab and the Entrepreneurship Internship Programs. The Venture Lab, based in Packard Place in Charlotte, accelerates the growth of student start-ups through education, mentorship, and seed funding. Through the internship program, 11 students were placed with start-ups around the world in paid positions created by Davidson alumi for Davidson students.
This next academic year, we look forward to launching the Davidson Venture Fund, welcoming our first Entrepreneur in Residence Mark Williams '86, continuing the Avinger Scholarship for accomplished student entrepreneurs, and growing successful programs in social innovation through the Center for Civic Engagement.
As we move forward, we will continue to evaluate how this initiative can help Davidson to cultivate creativity, courage, resilience, and analytical acuity, while testing strategies and ideas in iterative ways—adapting as we go. In this, we honor the abiding primary purpose of this amazing and special place.

The Democratic Party has always had its communist suspicions: FDR with his "leg problems," Jimmy Carter with his "bean farm," and, more recently, Barack Obama with his "Portugese water dog, Bo." In light of McCarthyism and "Happy Days," the search never ends to seek out the enemies of our past and hunt them down à la Trotsky in the Mexican sunset. Luckily, we have a soldier relentlessly steamrolling the century-old cause into the 21st century. His name is Allen West, and he is a goddamn patriot.
Allen West is the U.S. Representative for Florida's 22nd congressional district, having spiraled into office in the 2010 midterm cyclone of Tea Partyism. He is also an Iraqi Army vet and the first African-American Representative in Florida since the Reconstruction Era. Now, those are some credentials – but, on Tuesday night, he showed off his true red-white-and-blue-ism.
At a town hall meeting in his district, one supporter asked him a question that has been bugging him (and all of us) for days, if not years: "How many card-carrying Marxists or international socialists are there in Congress?" To which Mr. West responded almost instantaneously, "I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party." Game, set, match.
Now, before you run off to grab your pitchfork or blowtorch, hold on just a second. Let's mull over the numbers: 78 to 81 is amazingly precise for an estimated range (kudos West) and it translates into substantial legislative numbers. If we're talking about the Senate, that's nearly 100% commie. If we're talking about the House, which is made up of 435 members, that's a little less than 25% commie or, if you're into the whole brevity thing, a quarter Red.
But we are talking about the House, because Rep. Allen West pointed fingers at his own co-workers: the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This uber-shady sub-sect meets underneath the Hill at midnight on Tuesdays (probably not true; check out its website for clarification). And, like every good communist caucus, it hides its message in the mainstream, just like in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Just look at the headlines of some of these press releases:
"Co-Chairs Grijalva, Ellison Call for Justice for Underwater Mortgage Holders"
"CPC Co-Chairs Call For Real Accountability in Wall Street Bank Settlement"
"Congressional Progressive Caucus Announces Latest Jobs Legislation in Framework to Rebuild the American Dream"
Outrageous but not surprising, given the circumstances: On the ideological spectrum, the term "progressive" dwells in a void somewhere left of paganism and somewhere right of Dr. Seuss. The CPC was created in 1991, not-so-coincidentally the same year that the Soviet Union fell and the international communist agenda was on the run looking for a new place in which to settle and call home. It boasts a MO, or "manifesto" for those of us who know better, whose "efforts" include "to combat hunger" and guarantee that "working families can live above the poverty line."
You might know some of its more well-known infiltrators in the House: Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Manhattan's very own Carolyn Maloney. And its rat in the Senate is none other than the conspicuously indie Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But its less popular agents are the real suspects here:
Meet Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA). The Pennsylvanian Houseman, whose name is reminiscent of Louis Farrakhan and Chaka Khan, is an easy call. To cloud his Marxist mindset, he devotes his time to three vividly capitalist activities: golfing, biking and fighting crime.
Or Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA). This Democratic member holds top guard in the party's House Politburo, making him a clearly feasible communist candidate. Before you read his biography, you must choose 'Espanol' or 'English,' and it's not because he's the first Latino to serve on the Ways and Means Committee. That's what he wants you to think.
Frieda Kahlo wasn't the only lady in red: Rep. Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI) was born in Japan and then came to America to indoctrinate our youth. Deemed the "Pre-K Champion" by the advocacy group, Pre-K NOW, Hirono made it her priority to take your children away from you at a young age and put them in the government's classrooms to play with blocks, to nap and to learn historical materialism.
So Rep. Allen West might be onto something, and this is an issue that he should take to the White House to further investigate. But, according to West, he's not on good grounds with the President after West's request for a sit-down. Mr West explains: "Cuz he was too scared!" What a shame.

Calling for Arafat's ouster
Jul 17, 2002 by James M. Wall
A popular Middle Eastern joke insists President Bush's recent speech on a Palestinian state was delayed for a few days, waiting for a translation from the original Hebrew. The joke reflects Arabic anger that U.S. policy is driven by what the current Israeli leadership thinks is good for Israel. The joke also reflects a widespread media-driven perception that the most important point in Bush's speech was his call for Arafat's ouster.

Soka University hosts Mexican Revolution photos
ALISO VIEJO – A photo exhibit depicting Mexico's early 20th century revolution will make its Orange County debut at Soka University.
"Mexico at the Hour of Combat: Sabino Osuna's Photographs of the Mexican Revolution" will be on display at Soka University's Founders Hall Art Gallery from May 20 – Aug. 23.
A free reception will take place on Saturday, June 29, from 5:30 – 8 p.m.
The exhibition and an accompanying book are based on the Osuna Collection of 427 glass negatives of the Mexican Revolution, which are held in the Special Collections section of UC Riverside. The collection by Osuna, a commercial photographer, focuses especially on the 1910-1914 period in Mexico City.
The exhibition was organized originally by UCR ARTSblock's California Museum of Photography, and was first presented there late last year.
The gallery, at 1 University Drive in Aliso Viejo, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Admission is free.

Zinc…What does it Do For Me?

Zinc is a mineral that is often ignored by individuals until they find out they're deficient. It's understandable because it isn't an emphasized substance in nutrition, although it should be.
The mineral has a number of functions in the body. First of all, it is essential for growth and development in children. In fact, it is needed long before they become children…it is essential for fetal development! It aids in bone growth, wound healing and blood production. It is needed for protein and vitamin A to carry on their functions in the body. Zinc assists the digestive and immune systems and helps metabolize the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat). It is also known that it affects behaviors and plays a role in gene expression. Other functions include assisting enzymes with their functions and helping with cell development.
Besides its various functions, zinc provides the body with plenty of benefits! Its oxidative properties may aid in the prevention and treatment of cancer, just like many other antioxidants. Zinc is actually known to improve taste perception. Because of this, it can aid in treating some anorexia patients. Focus on zinc if you have tooth decay problems because it can inhibit the growth of disease causing bacteria.
An individual who is deficient in zinc may have a variety of symptoms. They could have impaired immunity, taste and eyesight. Anemia, hair loss and slow growth are other deficiency effects. The digestive system could be compromised, resulting in diarrhea. It is also known that hair loss and loss of appetite are symptoms of zinc deficiency. People at the highest risk for zinc deficiency are: pregnant women, young children, elderly, low-income individuals, athletes and people on meat-restricted diets. If you are part of any of these groups, see a doctor to determine if you need to be supplemented.
You can rely on various dietary sources to get an adequate amount of zinc. Sea food, such as oysters, and shellfish are high in zinc, as are meats, poultry and milk products. Zinc can also be obtained from legumes and whole grains, however, it is not absorbed as well from these sources.
Zinc can also be obtained from supplements such as UAS ActiVin which contains L-OptiZinc (zinc methionine). Keep in mind that the mineral can be dangerous in high doses, so choose a supplement with 100% or less. Zinc in high doses can block copper and iron absorption, which are other essential minerals that your body needs.
Talk to a doctor to find out how much zinc your body needs. Your needs will vary based on your gender, age, and whether you are pregnant or lactating.
Brianna Elliott is a blog author at ProbioticSmart.com, and is a third year dietetics student. She believes that it is important for people to learn about the mineral, zinc because of its essential functions in the body.
Types Of Diet Pills
November 20, 2009 by italos
Filed under Diet & Weight Loss, Product Reviews
There are such a large variety of diet pills available today that it can be challenging to tell one from another. While there are many different name brand pills, most of the diet pills today will fall within certain categories. Whether prescription or over the counter, most of them work in ways similar to others in their group.
Prescription diet pills are most often given to patients who are clinically obese, or who have a Body Mass Index of 30 or higher. The best selling of these pills is Phentermine, also known as Adipex. These diet pills are very effective because they kill the appetite and make it much easier to drastically reduce food intake. Other appetite suppressant diet pills work in the same way that this one does: They cause the brain's neurotransmitters to stop sending hunger signals.
Another category of prescription diet pills are the fat absorption inhibitors, such as Meridia and Xenical. These type of diet pills work by limiting the amount of fat that can be absorbed by the body. Since excess fat consumption results in unpleasant side effects such as oily stools, most patients find it easier to reduce their fat intake rather than risk the side effects.
Other popular diet pills today are over the counter drugs that use natural herbal supplements such as green tea to accelerate weight loss. Long term studies on such drugs have not yet been conducted, but there area some patients who feel that these natural diet pills work just as well as the prescription ones, without the side effects of feeling jittery.
Every patient is different but one thing is certain: There is a diet pill that can work for everybody out there. It is just a matter of choosing what is best for you.

H&M to Hold Runway Show in Paris
It'll be the brand's first show in eight years.
On February 27, the chain plans to present 25 looks from its fall 2013 collection at the Musée Rodin during — but not as part of — Paris Fashion Week, WWD writes. It'll be the first time in eight years that H&M shows its own designs on a runway (not counting Lanvin Hearts H&M, or any other collaboration), the last one being in New York in April 2005. To put this into perspective, the press release for that event, called "H&M live from Central Park," identified Kanye West as a "new hip-hop and R&B superstar," but there was "a 16-foot curtain of orchids," surely the inspiration behind all future flower usage. Looking at you, Raf.
So, why the runway return? Håcan Andersson, a rep for H&M, told WWD, "We felt excited about the collection and we really wanted to show it." Another spokesperson explained to Fashionista, "In the past we have done fantastic and spectacular events and fashion shows with our designer collaborations and we feel it is time to celebrate our own fashion." The retailer has aligned itself with some pretty big names — Karl Lagerfeld (2004), Comme des Garçons (2008), and the aforementioned Lanvin (2010). But its recent partnerships with Anna Dello Russo and Maison Martin Margiela haven't sold nearly as well, indicating H&M should focus on what it does best, which is just H&M. And why not hold a just-H&M runway show? It's a move that might steer H&M toward producing its own better-quality collection, like Topshop, but without the price hike.

For the first time since the Nationals moved to D.C., the team is at the top of the division standings this late in the season (by percentage points). Much of their 30-22 record is due to the good play of the team's younger players—including Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
It was not too long ago that both of these players were the No. 1 picks in the draft and just minor league prospects. With the team doing so well, you can't help but wonder about the future.
Here are 10 prospects who have the potential to keep this team in first place.

Following the harrowing earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan over the weekend, Warner Brothers has ended the Japanese theatrical run of Clint Eastwood's supernatural film Hereafter early, as the movie opens with startling scenes from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
"It quoted Warner Entertainment Japan official Satoru Otani as saying that theaters will no longer show the film, because tsunami scenes in the movie were "not appropriate" at this time.
"Hereafter opened in Japan in late February at around 180 theaters, according to the AP. Warner Entertainment originally planned to show the movie in theaters until late March."
The Sendai earthquake registered as 8.9 megathrust earthquake on March 11, which triggered a disastrous tsunami which struck Japan just minutes afterward.
Hereafter concerns a woman who, after being caught in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, has a near-death experience and charges herself with the task of proving to the scientific community that life after death does indeed exist. It is the 31st (!) to have been directed by the grizzled actor-turned-director, who is next set to direct J. Edgar, the biopic of J. Edgar Hoover, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the former FBI director and lawman.

Week 4; "Our very own CSU"May 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 pm by Jaclyn Bevis under COPS 101
This week at the Civilian Academy, we went over the investigations divisions of the Terre Haute Police Department.
Assist Chief Shawn Keen started the evening to go over some big numbers. Until 2007, there was no division between property crimes and violent crimes. All investigations in those two areas went to one group of 11 detectives. Back then, we were reporting high property crime numbers. I take that back, not just high, exceptionally high. For that reason, the department looked at some restructuring options.
Now, the investigations unit is divided into seven sub-groups instead of just six, with a division of property crimes and violent crimes. When looking at our numbers, it seems to have decreased our reports of property crimes, but also our cases cleared. Since 2007, property crimes are down about 20 percent. This is something the department is very proud to say, and as a citizen of Terre Haute, I am as well.
We also learned about a city ordinance that allows police to track stolen items with online software. This helps them located things that are sold at pawn shops and second hand stores that were stolen. According to THPD, this ordinance definitely helps in the recovering of stolen items.
Violent Crimes
Violent Crimes include homicides, rapes, robberies, elevated batteries, and anything involving a gun or deadly weapon. This unit has five detectives and a Sergeant. In 2011, the unit had 150 cases. That number is down drastically since '04 when 336 violent crimes were reported.
One thing of major note in the violent crimes division is that we learned they often have a drug link. Keep that in mind, and keep reading.
Property Crimes
This unit has ten detectives. Here's how they break down: Eight work primarily burglaries and thefts (Four on the north end of town, Four on the south end) and two detectives on auto theft/thefts from vehicles.
An interesting thing about auto theft is that it ties in to your insurance. If you think about it, insurance rates are partially based on where you live. These crime numbers directly impact you. (We also learned that the FBI considers mopeds, lawn mowers, and motorized scooters as vehicles.)
Something that came up in the conversation about property crimes is that they often have a link to drugs. See a trend here?
Vigo County Drug Task Force
This group has quite the gig. It's a collaboration of efforts from the Terre Haute Police Department, the Vigo County Sheriff's Department, the Seelyville Police Department, and the Vigo County Prosecutors Office.
They investigate the sales and distribution of illegal narcotics within Vigo County. If you consider my notes earlier about property crimes and violent crimes, you know that these guys have their hands full. The growing drug problem in this area is impossible to ignore.
The investigation and dismantling of methamphetamine labs takes up a big portion of their time. No one wants to live next door to one of these things, so when the task force knows they can clean one up they take the opportunity.
Two officers are in charge of managing a prescription drug diversion program to fight that continued battle.
Beginning in 2009, the V.C.D.T.F. started the highway and parcel interdiction. This is where they hit the streets and pull over vehicles to check for drugs. Some major hits they've had since then include 2,000 lbs. of marijuana, 4.4 lbs. of cocaine, and $82,000 in drug money. These items aren't always coming to Vigo County to stay. Sometimes, the task force nabs them on a long cross country drive.
In a case covering two years, the task force assisted in Operation Ice Box which was a meth ring that led to federal charges for more than two dozen people.
The most common drugs seen here in Vigo County are methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana. The less commonly used drugs include heroin (This drug is attributed to individuals important here due to the nearby federal prison.), ecstasy, mushrooms, and acid.
Crime Scene Unit
A sergeant and two detectives work in this unit, and they put their time in. They document scenes of all times at all times. In 2011, they had 955 events total.
They pick up physical evidence, biological evidence, and DNA evidence.
The Terre Haute Crime Lab is pretty impressive. They develop and examine fingerprints, photo prints, marijuana tests, cell phone forensics, and computer forensics.
It's impossible to imagine how these three individuals on THPD think. They arrive to a scene and have a million things going through their head that they need to look at, check, photograph, find, and consider. It's amazing to hear them talk about their thought process. (It sounds a lot like the vocabulary you hear on television.)
In 2012, they already have 442 entries, so they are on course of a really busy, record year.
Next up, we're off to the training center for some driving techniques. It should be quite a sight.

Spitzer Calls On Feds To List Secret Ingredients In Pesticides
Attorney General Spitzer today called on the federal government to require that product labels list the secret "inert" ingredients that can make up 95 percent or more of pesticide products.
Separately, Spitzer praised Gov. George Pataki for signing the Pesticides Neighbor Notification Law. He also cited the dedication and hard work of the bill's sponsors, Assemblyman Thomas DiNapoli and Senator Carl Marcellino, for their work on the new law that allows county governments to adopt local pesticide notification laws, and also requires schools and daycare centers to provide information about pesticide use to all parents. Five major counties have already committed to passing local notification ordinances.
Spitzer noted, however, that the advance notice of pesticide use provided by the new Neighbor Notification law may be undermined by a failure of the federal government to require pesticide manufacturers to provide label information about "inert" as well as active ingredients in their products.
An Attorney General's report released today, "The Secret Ingredients in Pesticides: Reducing the Risk," calls attention to health risks posed by "inert" ingredients in pesticides.
"Citizens and parents have the right to know about pesticides being used in their neighborhoods, schools and daycare centers," said Spitzer. "However, the federal government allows pesticide manufacturers to keep secret the identity of ingredients that generally make up the bulk of pesticide products. As a result, the public is kept in the dark about what is really being used and is not able to adequately assess possible health risks."
Spitzer's report explains that while federal regulators require pesticide manufacturers to disclose on the label the identity of "active ingredients," manufacturers are allowed to withhold the identity of so-called "inert" or "other" ingredients.
While people may believe that inert ingredients are harmless -- as the term suggests -- in fact, many ingredients used as inerts are actually toxic. The inert ingredients in some pesticide products may actually be the active ingredients in other pesticides.
On the basis of market surveys in 1990, 1997 and 1999, the report finds that:
- 72 percent of pesticide products available to consumers contain over 95 percent of so-called inert ingredients;
- Fewer than 10 percent of pesticide products list any inert ingredients on their labels;
- More than 200 chemicals used as inert ingredients are hazardous pollutants in federal environmental statutes governing air and water quality; and,
- Of a 1995 list of inert ingredients, 394 chemicals were in fact listed as active ingredients in other pesticide products.

Tax tips to share with your clients
08 Feb 2013
Posted by Andrew Kantor
Every homeowner (we hope!) knows about the mortgage interest deduction, but there are other tax breaks for owning a home. Can you deduct discount points? Local property taxes? Home-office additions?
You might want to check out this post from Dan Green, and maybe do a quick refresher on taxes for homeowners. It's a great reason to reach out to clients: "Don't forget to ask your tax preparer about the points you put down!"
Click here if you didn't realize that was a link to Green's article up there.
There are a lot of incentives out there, especially for going green — there are tax breaks for adding things like efficient wood stoves, geothermal heating and cooling, and more. Click here to see what they are, courtesy of the EPA.
