Research is very time consuming. Good research takes days (sometimes weeks) to complete. In order for research to be conducted properly, students can benefit from following a series of planned-out steps, known as a research strategy. A research strategy is a systematic plan for finding the information you need efficiently.
First you'll need to find a topic for your research. Topics that are too broad or too narrow make it difficult to find information.
Too broad An example of a topic that is too broad might be "careers." If you're doing research on "careers," then it might be more efficient to narrow your topic down to one or two specific careers, or one or two aspects about a career or about careers.
Too narrow A topic related to careers that could be too narrow might be something like "retail management for college grads." Retail management is a specific career aspect which is much more focused than "careers." But "retail management for college grads" might be too specific and there might not be enough information. Expanding your search to include "retail management" for all groups of people would make it less narrow. You should be able to find enough information, but not too much information.
The next step in the research process is to learn all that you can about your topic.
This is where background information comes in. Background information is information that explains what is already known about your topic, and helps you to understand the broader context of your topic. The most common types of background information sources are encyclopedias and dictionaries and other books located in the library's reference section.
Encyclopedias are excellent reference books because they offer the following things:
Step 3 is where your library skills are put to the test. Now that you have a thorough understanding of your topic, you are ready to find information that discusses and explores your topic in greater detail. This type of information is found primarily in books and articles.
To find books in the library, use the KCTCS Library Catalog and/or NetLibrary, both accessible from the MCC Libraries' website.
To find articles, use the print periodicals in the library, or look up articles from one of the full-text article databases (EBSCOhost Web, ProQuest, Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, Infotrac and/or NewsBank), all accessible from the MCC Libraries' website.
For more information about the libraries' information resources, consult the other learning modules in this eCommunity, or visit the library. Remember that you can always ask the library staff to help you find information.
If the library does not have the information resource that you need, but you know that another library does, you may ask the library to order that material from another library for you to borrow. All you have to do is fill out an Interlibrary Loan request form, and allow up to two weeks for your request to be filled.
Now is where your investigative skills are put to work. Evaluating sources means investigating to make sure that the information in those sources is authoritative, accurate, and non-biased.
Here are a few questions you should be prepared to answer about any information that you plan on using in your research:
-Does the TITLE sound right?-Is the AUTHOR an authority on that subject? (Check his/her biographical information).-Is the journal SCHOLARLY or popular in nature?-Does the book/article have a BIBLIOGRAPHY?-Is the information up to date and CURRENT?-Is the information OBJECTIVE? (does the author have an obvious "agenda" or point of view that they are trying to promote?)
Some students use internet sites as sources for their papers without taking the time to evaluate the quality of the website. While there is a wealth of good information on the internet, there is also a lot of false and/or misleading information there as well. Just because someone took the time to create a website about a topic does NOT mean that they are an expert on that subject!
Now that you have the information in front of you, you need to read it, re-read it until you have a thorough understanding of it, and then pull out all of the points that you wish to include in your research. Organize those ideas into notes, and when you have enough ideas in front of you, you are ready to begin structuring them into a paper.
Write and rewrite and rewrite. Most papers receiving a low grade are not an indication that the writer cannot write well. They are almost always the result of the writer submitting a paper without taking enough time for proper revision. Put your paper aside overnight before making the final revisions. It is MUCH easier to catch errors after you've slept on it.
Remember to document your sources, using the style manual recommended by your instructor (usually MLA or sometimes APA). Talk to the library staff about getting help with using these style manuals. Failure to document the source of your information is called plagiarism and is considered stealing. The college has penalties for students who plagiarize. At the very least you will receive an automatic failing grade on your assignment, and you could receive an automatic failing grade for the course.

NYPA Headquarters Second Solar PV System
A second solar PV system was installed on the roof of NYPA Headquarter building located at 123 Main Street, White Plains, on August 26, 2008. The system is comprised of two 4kW subsystems; one made of Kaneka's thin film amorphous silicon cells and the other of Sharp's polycrystalline silicon cells. The objective of the installation is to compare the performance between the thin film solar cells and conventional polycrystalline solar cells. This installation is in addition to the existing 5.5kW system installed in 1997.
It is estimated that the system is going to generate about 8,400kWh electricity per year with a total savings of $1260 and corresponding CO2 emission reductions of 5.418 short ton.
Cheap, durable, and efficient devices are needed to generate a significant amount of electricity from the sun. Thin film solar cells use a fine layer of semiconducting material, such as silicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) or cadmium telluride, deposited onto a substrate to harvest electricity from sunlight at a fraction of the cost compared to conventional photovoltaic cells. The cost savings are realized primarily due to reduced material needs, lower manufacturing energy requirements and broader suitability to mass production.
The substrate material could be glass, flexible metallic foils, high-temperature polymers or stainless steel sheets. Due to the flexibility with the substrate materials and its lightweight characteristics, thin film solar cells are suitable in special architectural uses, such as photovoltaic roof shingles, windows, siding and others (so-called Building Integrated Photovoltaics). Thin film cells also have the potential to produce more power over time than the older technology, because they resist the sun's heat better and produce more power when the temperature spikes.
Despite its lower cost and broader market applications, thin film solar cell does have its challenges. The first challenge is the lower energy conversion efficiency. Lower manufacturing temperature affects the crystal formation. The amorphous silicon has dangling and twisted molecular bonds, which results in more interrupted electron flow and correspondingly lower energy conversion efficiency. The second challenge is high land/area usage resulted from lower energy conversion efficiency. More panels are needed for thin film cells in order to achieve the same amount of power output. Another challenge is the reliability. The lifetime of the device still remains to be seen.
For this demonstration project, Kaneka's thin film solar panels have amorphous silicon deposited on the glass substrate and have rigid frame. They were installed side by side with Sharp's polycrystalline solar panels. Sun irradiance and panel temperatures will be monitored in-situ, as well as system energy generation data. We will confirm the benefits and challenges that both technologies are facing.
Manufacturer: Kaneka for Thin Film and Sharp for Polycrystalline
Solar Technology: Amorphous Silicon and Polycrystalline Silicon
No. of Modules: 68 and 24
PCU: Fronius 4500 LV, 208Vac for both systems

Trump takes charge: Sworn in as nation's 45th president
Thomas J. and Barbara J. Swift
ESCANABA – Thomas Joseph Jr., 73, passed away on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, following a semi-car accident. It could be said, that for the first time in their marriage, Thomas led the way, even for just a brief time until his wife, Barbara J. "Barb" Swift, 73, four days later, joined him in heaven on Sunday, March 24, 2013, from injuries she sustained in the accident. Now, together they will always be.
Thomas was born on May 24, 1939, in Escanaba, the son of Thomas J. and Olga E. "Tootie" (Bell) Swift, Sr. Barbara was born on Aug. 11, 1939, in Ann Arbor, Mich., daughter of Martin W. and Dorothy (Bergeon) Rose. Their parents preceded them in death.
Tom graduated from Bark River High School and Barb graduated from Gladstone High School.
Tom lived in California during the years that he served at the Travis Air Force Base from May 31, 1957, until his honorable discharge on May 29, 1961. He worked as an airplane mechanic and was awarded a Good Conduct Medal for his military service. Tom was in the Air Force Reserves until 1963.
On July 16, 1960, Tom Swift, Jr. married the former Barbara Rose in Bark River and they celebrated their union at the Dell's Supper Club with friends and family.
Following his honorable discharge, Tom returned to Bark River. Together, Tom and Barb own and operated Tom Swift's Bar which was previously owned by Tom's parents, Tom and Olga "Tootie" Swift Sr. The bar was a well known restaurant and gathering place in the Bark River area that was known for their Friday fish fries. Tom and Barb could be found cooking, bartending, waiting on tables, and always providing a welcoming place for the community to be.
Following the sale of the bar, Tom worked at Mead Paper until his retirement. Barb was employed with Thyberg's Jewelry as a clerk.
Tom and Barb Swift lived life to the fullest. They had many friends who they loved and enjoyed being with. Barb loved to entertain and had a flair for hospitality, paying special attention to details.
Tom was an avid golfer and played throughout the area with his many buddies. He was known for his sharp wit and good nature. When you saw Barb moving at full speed ahead you knew Tom would be lagging right behind her.
Tom was a lifelong member of the Highland Golf Club where he held many leadership roles, including president, vice president and most recently secretary/treasurer.
They were members of St. Patrick and St. Joseph's Church.
Tom and Barb's pride and joy were their children and grandchildren, making every moment memorable.
Among survivors include their children, Brian Swift and Patti (Dan) Dringoli; grandchildren, Jarred Sovey, Joey, Austin, Raegen and Jensen Dringoli; and Barb's sister, Sharon (Dale) Villeneuve; several nieces and nephews.
In addition to their parents, they were preceded in death by their son, David; Tom's sister, Patricia Fedoush and Barb's brother and sister, Joseph Rose and Merry Brower; and several aunts, uncles and nephews.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 18, from noon to 1 p.m. at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Bark River. The Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 1 p.m. with Rev. Darryl Pepin officiating. Burial will follow at the Bark River Cemetery.
A reception to celebrate their lives together will follow for family and friends at the Highland Golf Club starting at approximately 3 p.m.
The family would like to request that gentlemen attending the events wear a green necktie and women wear a red rose in memory of Tom and Barb.
A memorial has been established in honor of Tom and Barb Swift and donations may be sent to "The Swift Memorial Fund," 477 Dalton Road, Neenah, Wisconsin, 54956.
Messages of condolence may be sent to their children, Brian Swift, 3100 West 7th #619, Fort Worth, TX 76107 or firstname.lastname@example.com and Patti Dringoli, 477 Dalton Rd, Neenah, WI 54956 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Crawford Funeral Homes are assisting the Swift family with arrangements.

Hi, everything was ok, the place was very clean and nice. Pictures on web page presents correctly this accomodation. Petra is also very friendly and helpfull person. I regret that I could stay there only one week. Great holidays, Thank you very much for staying there
Estancia excelente apartamento. Ideas con una vistas inmejorables, perfecto lo recomiendo por su belleza el apartamento no le faltaba ningun detalle.
Comunicación. Excelente.
per l'appartamento dal 20 dicembre al 14 gennaio esprimo un giudizio molto negativo:mi era stato detto che si trattava di studio, ma innanzitutto ho trovato molta sporcizia, animaletti nei mobili, cattivo odore...inoltre non c'era un armadio ma solo un mobile dove era poggiato un televisore e all'interno pieno di tazze o biccheri, un divano molto scomodo dove si avvertiva nettamente il ferro e in un ultimo, ma non di meno importanza un letto dove si dormiva malissimo per un materasso quasi inesistente.
חוות דעת על מקומות לינה אחרים שמציע/ה מארח/ת זה/זו
Unique location, amazing view! We just loved it !
In the description of the accomodation is mentioned "nice and quiet complex". This is far besides the truth because within less than 200 metres two big five star hotels (16 floors) are built and building works are going on 7 days a week from dawn till dusk.
Table and balcony chairs are not very comfortable and the chairs in the living room are not suited for people ovet the age of 55. The owner should see to it that missing cutlerly and glasses should be replenished in this appartment for 4 persons. During our stay 12 floortiles in the living dining room came with 4 loud bangs up.
The appartment is spacious and the lay out is very good. The lighting and electric appliances were al working.
During our entire stay we did not meet the guestwife/hostess.
There is a refurbishment work in progress on the two huge tower blocks next to the our block of flats.
As a result it was like living in the middle of building site,loud noise and a lot of dust Next bad thing was balcony,water pouring from the flats above ruin our lunch..
Excellent apartment with great views. All the basics and some nice furnishings. Wifi was not available in the appartment, otherwise I would give 5 stars
Faultless. Everything was in place as agreed when we arrived.
Perfect place for taking a relaxing break. Beautiful views of the sea from the apartment terrace so breakfasts and dinners were special.
100% recommendable.
Stayed in this beautiful apartment for one week and loved everyday of it. We arrived after 10pm and got a taxi from the airport which cost 45 euros which seemed a little expensive. Apparently taxis are more expensive at night but can't confirm if this is correct as that's the only taxi we got. Was met at outside the building by our contact who spoke very little English but made up for it by being the nicest person ever. The apartment was incredibly clean and exactly as it appears in the pics with views of the mountains to one side and the sea from the other. The apartment is on one of the top floors of a very tall building so gives aerial views of the village below. There is a beautiful pool downstairs but unfortunately this was closed for maintenance work two days after our arrival. There is free wifi in the reception area with lots of space to chill and watch the sunset. The beach is also a quick 5-10 min walk but the beach isn't amazing. It's small, a bit rocky but hardly too busy. There are a few shops around including a superdino which sells all you need. A few bars and restaurants dotted around. The only downside was the two high rise flats being built straight in front of the building. The construction work is within working hours so allows for a good nights rest and is a bit if a visual eye sore but this didn't bother us much as we didn't spend much time in the flat during the day and at night it's quiet and buildings vanish into the dark background of the sea. The construction appears to be in the final stages which should bring a bit more buzz to the area. Lastly, there is a bus stop just outside the building to pdla so definitely worth getting a bus pass if you don't have a car. Overall 5/5 for the apartment 4/5 for location.
Lovely view in apartment .appartment was fine but bedroom was twin beds.but no complaints.petra was lovely and communicated well.but the pool side well getting a bit run down and there is two blocks to the left empty but locals says that hard rock have bought it and it be ready in 18 months time.but we did enjoyed our holiday .

A little-known Tampa institute that works to minimize loss of life and property is now a top resource for emergency preparedness.
TAMPA - Tucked away from Fowler Avenue traffic sits a fortress of thick concrete, steel and impact-resistant glass. On the bottom floor is a Museum of Science and Industry welcome center and gift shop. A teenage girl working there couldn't tell you what's upstairs.
But if you ring a doorbell out back, walk through one of the pressure-resistant doors and climb the stairs, what you'll find is more than you ever wanted to know about shattered windows, imploded garage doors and human despair.
You'll leave with pamphlets and tips about roof nails, washing machine hoses and how to hold it together when everything around you is destroyed. You'll drive away wanting to build a concrete fortress of your own.
Few people have heard of the Institute for Business & Home Safety, a nonprofit organization housed in a $2.75-million building shaped like a circular hurricane symbol with a glass eye. The institute moved from Boston to the MOSI campus in 2002 and quickly grew into one of the nation's top resources on disaster preparedness.
It has been around since the '70s, but "we really took off after Hurricane Andrew," said Wendy Rose, the institute's spokeswoman. "In the six years we've had our Web site, we went from a few thousand hits to just hitting the 70- or 80-billion mark. We find ourselves on blogs now, which is kind of neat to see."
More lately, the institute's advice has popped up in everything from the New York Times to MSNBC to cosmetology trade magazines. Members of its 22-person staff speak at conferences and seminars all over the United States, educating business leaders and government officials about better building codes and tax incentives for vigilant homeowners.
They also swoop in on broken communities, perform autopsies on their ruined homes and businesses, and tell them how to rebuild the right way. They take photos to document troubling evidence, such as one they like to show of a garden gnome lying face-down in a Punta Gorda yard. It was thrown by Hurricane Charley through a woman's picture window, creating an opening for wind to rush in and knock the home's roof off.
The lesson: Collect all those loose ends out of your yard before the storm hits. Anything can become a life-threatening missile.
In essence, the institute's employees are a group of well-educated and well-researched Chicken Littles who work in partnership with organizations such as the Red Cross and the American Insurance Association. They want everyone to have flood insurance, storm shutters and better doors and windows. They study how folks behave before, during and after the storm. They have learned tricky tactics to get people to listen.
For example, their research shows that people hate the word "mitigation" (sounds too much like "litigation"), so they use the term "property safety and prevention" instead. And they know that people don't like getting brochures unless they've asked for them or they're in a desperate situation, so they spread information through other media outlets. Also, people like to look at disaster aftermath on television or in photos, but the images don't typically motivate people to protect themselves. Educational articles do, though, so that's where the institute puts its focus.
The institute is funded largely by the insurance industry. In this case, the industry's goals are in concert with home and business owners: little to no damage to their properties. When homes and businesses are strong enough to withstand destruction, and no one is filing loss claims, everybody's happy.
"Our basic mission is to help homes and families rebuild, to keep businesses open and preserve jobs," said Harvey Ryland, president and CEO of the institute. "We don't sell anything. We give everything away."
And they don't just do hurricanes. They deal in hail, fire, earthquakes, sinkholes, tornadoes and other unstoppable forces of nature.
Ryland, who served as deputy director at Federal Emergency Management Agency from 1993-96 and has worked in the emergency management field for more than 30 years, has seen it all. So it's no wonder that, much like the other staffers at the institute, he has perhaps the safest home in his neighborhood.
He chose to buy a 1950s fixer-upper in West Shore's Beach Park neighborhood to be close to the surrounding shops and restaurants. But it's also in one of the worst flood zones in Tampa. So the home has been restored with an impact-resistant garage door, dual-glazed glass windows with shutters and waterproof tape on the seams of his roof decking panels. He keeps a generator and sandbags handy at all times and has videotaped his entire property to document his belongings.
Rose recently drilled her real estate agent with a list of structural-related questions before buying a house in Venice. Tim Reinhold, the institute's vice president of engineering, installed hurricane screens around his lanai and hurricane shutters around the rest of his North Tampa house.
Even the institute's headquarters at MOSI is designed to withstand a direct hit from a major hurricane, and will serve as a hurricane shelter for employees' families who need it.
"We'll be here," Rose said. "No one else will be here, but we'll be here."
Until that happens, though, the Institute for Business & Home Safety doesn't mind working in obscurity here in the Tampa Bay area. Besides helping MOSI with an upcoming exhibit called "Disasterville," which will demonstrate the havoc nature can wreak on people, homes and communities, the institute rarely makes its presence known in town.
That has at least one small drawback.
"We still can't get a pizza delivered," Rose said.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done (the more detail, the better)?
A: The craziest thing I have done is to conquer an amusement ride called Ripcord. I was willing to strap myself into a harness and plunge thirteen stories on nothing but a cord. It was the biggest thrill I have ever encountered.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I really enjoy baking. My special dish...vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I decorate each individual cupcake with a different design to make them not only tasty, but fun.
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: If I were handed 10 million dollars I would split it into three parts, and spend 1/3 of it in 3 separate ways. I would give one third to my parents, the second third to the American Heart Association since heart disease runs in my family, and I would invest the last third in the bank, to help pay for my college education.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: If I had the opportunity to meet one celebrity it would be Angelina Jolie, because not only is she an incredible actress that can play many diverse rolls, but she is a good will ambassador.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: The one thing that sets me apart from others is the way I present myself. I try to let my sense of humor and fun loving personality shine through every where I go.

Each year, millions of adults discover that exercise doesn't have to hurt. I know that this runs counter to experiences in physical education classes, but with the right combination of pacing, rest breaks, muscle manipulation and warming down, workouts can be the most joyful part of the day.
In fact, the rewards of exercise can lead one to doing too much. Running, for example, delivers a series of psychological benefits that are virtually unique: a significant boost to vitality with a positive attitude being the ones most commonly praised. The after-exercise glow is such a wonderful lifestyle change that many beginners assume that going faster and farther will increase the good feelings. Unfortunately, this often leads to aches, pains, and fatigue.
Over the 35+ years that I've been coaching, I've developed a pattern of training elements that has allowed most of my individual coaching clients to enjoy the experience as they benefit from the physical and psychological enhancements from exercise.
Start slowly. Most exercisers know that they need to warm up. I have my runners walk for 3-5 minutes, and then alternate a 20-60 second run with a 60 second walk for 10 minutes. At that point, most can ease into the pace for that day.
Insert recovery breaks before fatigue builds up. On long runs and races, I have my runners continue to insert walk breaks, usually every 1-4 minutes, to the end of the run. This reduces fatigue, speeds recovery, and can almost eliminate injury. My surveys surprisingly show that the walk breaks allow runners to run faster. Cyclists have "gliding" breaks, and those using exercise machines can reduce the level of exertion significantly for a minute, every 3-5 minutes to achieve the same result. The continuous use of the muscle at a high level of exertion will exhaust muscle fibers and break them down quicker.
Pacing. Most exercisers can work too hard in the beginning of a workout without realizing that it is too hard. It is always better to start more slowly. Whatever is saved during the first 10 minutes can be used during the important mid-workout exertion. Even better, if you ease into your workout, you can feel good to the end.
Warm down gently. Muscles recover better if they are not pushed harder and harder to the very end. By easing off during the last 10 minutes, damage can be significantly reduced, and blood flow can help to remove some of the waste products that accumulated during the workout. Continuing to walk after a run, for example, will allow the muscles to help pump blood back to the heart. Standing around after a good workout can put a lot of stress on the cardiovascular system. Keep moving!
Manipulate the muscles. I melt into my Human Touch massage chair after I've had my post workout warmdown. Tired muscles have always felt better after a session, and especially the next day.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (608 votes).
In short: Let down at the start-line; could have been sooooo good!In full: Everyone who's ever run this race has spoken about the chaos at the start line, and i see why now. i was positively near the front, yet still had to swerve around an obstacle course of walkers and plodders. surely a starting pen system based on predicted finishing times would have been the sane choice? if not, at least an honour system by us runners in which if you know you're going to walk from the start, you don't head to the front of the line?Date of review: July 17, 2009
In short: Busy and let down by organisationIn full: Very busy race, I got there in plenty of time but still took 30 minutes to get over the start line and had to run around lots of slower runners on a narrow course, up and down pavements. PB potential is low due to numbers and narrow streets.Date of review: July 17, 2009
Date of review: April 8, 2009
In short: A well organized beginner friendly race. More savoured runners might find the amount of people frustrating as the PB potential is not great. Date of review: November 5, 2008
In short: A great way to see all the sights of London. Entry fee is rather steep and the quality of the medal is very poor and no chip timing either. Although the atmosphere is fantastic and is the only reason I might do it againDate of review: October 10, 2008
In short: Great atmosphere and setting, shame it's not chipped.Date of review: October 3, 2008
In short: Another good year - best organisation yet (still a little way to go though)Date of review: August 26, 2008
In short: race pack a little late in arriving and toilets signs deceiving at start but once started really enjoyed it and got pbDate of review: August 23, 2008
In short: Don't waste your money on this one!!In full: Over-priced, poorly organised, no clock, timings or chip for £30 entrance. Was even given the wrong medal at the end. Total rip off and there are plenty of other races in and around London that offer much much more. ASICS should be ashamed of themselves.Date of review: August 22, 2008
In short: Expensive and overcrowded, but nothing beats running through central London!!!!!Date of review: August 13, 2008

Measuring consumer sentiment, optimizing supply chains, detecting fraud – Big Data is powerful. But to harness that power, organizations must hire data scientists, craft complex algorithms, and make massive investments in infrastructure and software. That leaves business leaders and the IT professionals supporting them wondering: Is it possible to make Big Data useful for business users?
Download Free Version
See All
Big Data's value can be unleashed for business users by condensing it and intelligently presenting only what is relevant and contextual to the problem at hand. For example, an executive might be interested in summary data across the company's product lines, while a manager of a specific product or geography might need more detail, but only for the areas that he or she oversees. In certain instances, such as a customer support manager who needs to investigate one specific customer's call records, it may be necessary to view the raw data. IT professionals are challenged with not only providing the infrastructure but also to help provide meaning to the Big Data.
Big Data is a relative term and the data requirements of every organization is different. QlikView offers two approaches to handling Big Data that both deliver the same great user experience. Switching between the two is a trivial task so customers are not locked into either approach.
QlikView's patented in-memory data engine compresses typical data by a factor of 10, meaning a single 256GB RAM server can load upwards of 2TB of uncompressed data. This represents billions of rows while offering response rates only possible with in-memory architectures. Other QlikView features such as document chaining and binary load further accelerate the exploration of very large data sets. This is the path chosen by many Qlik customers to analyze terabytes of data stored in data warehouses or Hadoop clusters and similar repositories.
Case Study: King.com Delivers Rapid Analysis with Zero Wait Time
For companies that have invested in a large data warehouse or other Big Data infrastructure and don't want to load all data into the QlikView in-memory engine, QlikView Direct Discovery is a hybrid approach that leverages both in-memory data and data that is dynamically queried from an external source.

Qlik is a leader in data discovery delivering intuitive solutions for self-service data visualization and guided analytics. Approximately 40,000 customers rely on Qlik solutions to gain meaning out of information from varied sources, exploring the hidden relationships within data that lead to insights that ignite good ideas.

A Foggy Race at the Beach
Records fall at Table Rock 27K, the 9th La Sportiva Mountain Cup race
Photos courtesy of Everett Russell/La Sportiva.
Last weekend, runners descended on Stinson Beach, California, for the ninth race in this year's La Sportiva Mountain Cup--the Table Rock 27K. Conditions were cold and foggy at the start of the race, with racers shivering in the 50-degree air waiting for the starting gun. However, as soon as the gun went off, racers warmed up with a grueling 2000-plus-foot climb over the first 2.6 miles. After leveling out above the low-hanging clouds, racers dropped back into the fog for a welcome bit of cooler air before the second climb.
The rolling terrain and tight turns between these climbs proved to be a challenge for many. Says Buddy Jones, 41, of Chino Hills, California, "I felt good on the first major descent, but going back uphill killed my pace; I had to slow way down on the second climb."
However, the rolling terrain didn't slow everyone down. Pending final results, it appeared the top three men all went under the previous course record. California local Galen Burrell, 34, led the race and established a speedy 6:49 pace to bring home the win in 1:54:31, with Jordan McDougal, 26, of Linden, Virginia, several minutes behind in second, and Matthew Laye, 32, of Sausalito, California, close on his heels for third.
Caitlin Smith, 32, of Oakland, California broke the women's record by two minutes, taking the women's race in 2:19:49. Smith overtook other top women, Alison Bryant, 34, of Elkin, North Carolina, and Maria Dalzot, 25, of Bellingham, Washington (and author of our newly minted 'Ask the Dietitian' column!) around 10 kilometers in and never looked back. Dalzot wrote later in a race report on her blog, "The faster I ran, the further ahead [Smith] got. Before long I was all alone on a hillside with wind blowing sideways, thick fog and 50 switchbacks to navigate."
At the end of the day, the Mountain Cup standings are still up in the air, waiting for the last race, next weekend's Jupiter Peak Steeplechase in Salt Lake City, Utah, to decide all. Jordan McDougal retains his lead in the men's race, however he has reached his five-race points cap, and it will be a tight race with Matt Byrne who plans to race next weekend in Salt Lake City. With the right conditions and a big win here it is still possible for Byrne to take the gold. On the women's front, Megan Kimmel retains her solid lead and will walk away with the first-place finish. Bryant's third-place finish at Table Rock secured her second place in the cup. Third in the cup remains up for grabs between Laura Haefeli, Alison Naney and Susan Nuzum.

I recommend tuning in for it, if you don't already and give it a shot. IMO Gameday is getting tired. Corso is clearly slipping, I have never liked Fowler and I don't care for Desmond Howard (not because he is a scummer but because his voice annoys me and I don't care for his contributions).
When Corso was in control of all his faculties he did a nice job, now his "analysis" seems more like talking points and it is clear that Howard's role is growing.
Clay Travis is an OSU troll, but it is offset nicely by Eddie George's unabashed OSU homerism.

Joy's Jaunts: Launch your own adventures in yarn, and have something in common with Julia Roberts, Christina Hendricks, Sarah Jessica Parker, Russell Crowe and other celeb knitters
Note: For info and photos on celeb knitters, check this out. Or just Google "celebrity knitters" and you'll be amazed at what pops up!
The fall before last, my fellow Guide staffers and I set out to find new hobbies and report back to our readers. I chose knitting, having been lured by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, author of the hilarious Yarn Harlot blog (yarnharlot.ca) and series of books — I saw her once at a bookstore signing, and it was like a rock concert with fuzz. Everyone there, and I mean everyone except me, was knitting, not even stopping when Stephanie was speaking.
They could knit without looking.
So I figured, hey, how hard can it be? Knitters I know assured me, "It's easy, really, you'll learn in no time." Hmph. I took a beginner class at the Shabby Sheep in Uptown and emerged technically knowing how to cast on and knit, but with nothing to show but a 5-inch square of knitted fabric so lumpy and misshapen that our Dallas Morning News photographers politely declined to photograph it for the story. Oh, the humiliation.
The needles and all that lovely yarn I'd purchased went into a drawer, and we Did Not Speak of knitting again. Then we started a knitting group at work, which we cleverly (we thought) called Hello Knitty. We meet once a week for an hour to knit and kvetch. So I dug out the exiled supplies, and slunk back to the Shabby Sheep for a refresher course. Mercifully, the store's knitting experts did not laugh at me, and in fact, took me under their marvelously woolly wings to help me both technically and confidence-wise.
Fast-forward to today: I'm a confident knitter! (I don't purl, mind you, but I'm taking my time.) Ronda Van Dyk, the Sheep's owner, told me not to try purling till I could knit in my sleep, and I'm almost there.
I'm proud to say I've made about two dozen scarves, a couple of hats and a few hand-warmers (gloves without fingers), and am now working on what started out as a shawl, has grown into an afghan, and may eventually morph into a blanket. I've learned that I prefer bamboo needles; I like how they feel warm in my hands. Some folks like the pretty, brightly colored metallic ones; others, the lightweight, indestructible plastic variety. Choosing your materials is at least half the fun, but I warn you, don't go into a yarn store without a good deal of expendable income. It's addictive.
Beginners, here are the big secrets I've learned: You don't have to purl (OK, you do if you want to do patterns and fancy stuff like that), but for scarves or simple hats, garter (knit) stitch is all you need. It's all about the yarn. Buy gorgeous, high-quality yarn, especially the kind that's dyed in multiple colors, and you can fool anyone except another knitter into thinking you are tremendously skilled and fabulous. Just ask my friends to whom I've given scarves — none of them knit, and they all think I'm brilliant.
Also, use big needles at first. The knitting goes much faster, you can finish a scarf in an evening, and you get a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Don't like what you've started? Rip that sucker out and start over, or on something else. The yarn won't mind being recycled.
And here's a really fun perk: You can yarn-bomb. It's not as violent as it sounds, but it sure does spruce up a neighborhood — basically, a bunch of knitters get together and decorate the trees, the fire hydrants, the street signs. The Winspear Opera House and Klyde Warren Park have been willing victims of yarn-bombing, to stunning effect. There are plenty of knitting classes and groups to join, and someday, you too can festoon a tree in purple or pink wool.
You can also do good with your craft; many groups knit baby booties and hats for newborns at hospitals, scarves for the homeless, etc.
Spring is the perfect time to start your own knitting odyssey; you'll have time to learn, stitch through the summer and then have a bevy of delights to bestow on your delighted friends and family for cold-weather season. My goal this year: more-intricate hats and maybe some mittens (which will mean purling, and patterns — eek!) to go with all those scarves I've made.
Here are some of my favorite places to help you get started. The knitting specialty stores are more pricey but also have more experts available to help you. For inexpensive yarn to learn with, you can't beat Michaels, Jo-Ann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby. Classes vary widely — some may be one-time, some may meet once a week for eight weeks; check websites or call for details and prices.
These specialty stores are my favorites to visit when I have disposable income (gorgeous yarns, but frequently pricey) and need expert advice. All have classes as well as "free knit" times where you can go and just sit and knit (and that's when you often get the best tips, from more experienced knitters). The Shabby Sheep also hosts a Knitting Circle every Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. (weather permitting) at Klyde Warren Park, atop Woodall Rodgers Freeway between Pearl and St. Paul streets, in downtown Dallas.
The Shabby Sheep, 2112 Boll St., Dallas. 214-953-0331. theshabbysheep.com.
The Woolie Ewe, 1301 Custer Road at 15th Street (southwest corner), Plano. 972-424-3163. woolieewe.com.
Yarn & Stitches, 15615 Coit Road at Arapaho Road (southwest corner), Dallas. 972-239-9665. yarnandstitches.com.
Then there are the more-general crafting-sewing shops, which also have classes (but they're usually bigger, so you don't get as much individual attention) and scads of (mostly) inexpensive yarn. They specialize in chunky, thick yarn that knits up quickly and lets you finish projects in a jiffy, as well as yarn that can be machine-washed and -dried. Sometimes you can find splendid "knockoffs" of the pricier yarn brands at an absolute steal.
Hobby Lobby, various locations. hobbylobby.com.
Michaels, various locations. michaels.com.
Jo-Ann Fabrics, various locations. joann.com.
Finally, this is my favorite online spot to get advice, share knitting catastrophes and triumphs, find free and paid patterns for just about anything, and keep track of projects, needles and stash (what knitters call our ever-growing piles of yarn). Signing up is free, and you can link your account to your favorite yarn stores.

text: Now hold on just a minute there Mr. H. I have heard of Red Tails and no, I haven't seen it, but it's not because it was about black people. I too am a white, republican male and I'm gettin' kinda tired of having to prove I'm not a racist every other day. Everybody needs to chill out on the subject and quit being so hyper- sensitive. The truth is I didn't vote for Obama, not because he's black, but because I'm not a liberal democrat and didn't think he really had a platform that gave me confidence in his abilities (heck, I'm still trying to figure out who this guy is!). Now I understand you didn't point out anyone specifically and I don't think you're refering to anyone on this forum, but I feel like I've been ambushed by your sudden turn of politics. Seriously, H , we can't assume racism when someone doesn't want to see a certain movie or vote for a certain someone and we don't want to violate our beliefs (whatever they may be) only to pander to a certain group. Are those who don't want to see a movie made by Robert Rodriguez racist? You say you're a republican and you voted for an extreme liberal...please don't tell me you voted for Obama just cause he's black, cause that's shallow. Don't misunderstand me, though. I been around here a little while now and have come understand that you're definitely not shallow and I'm not angry or anything, just responding thoughtfully to a thoughtful post. I always enjoy your posts and am willing to forgive you your rant if you'll forgive me mine.

When President Obama arrived in Rangoon on Monday, he became the first sitting president ever to visit Burma -- the Asian nation bordering Thailand, China, and Bangladesh.
For nearly 50 years, from the 1962 to 2011, the country was ruled by a military junta. But over the past year and a half, reform has begun to take root.
"A civilian now leads the government, and a parliament is asserting itself," President Obama said in a speech at the University of Yangon. "The once-outlawed National League for Democracy stood in an election, and Aung San Suu Kyi is a Member of Parliament. Hundreds of prisoners of conscience have been released, and forced labor has been banned. Preliminary cease-fires have been reached with ethnic armies, and new laws allow for a more open economy."
Earlier today, President Obama met with President Thein Sein -- one of those helping to usher in reform -- and Aung San Suu Kyi -- the Nobel Prize winning pro-democracy activist. And while much remains to be done, President Obama made clear that the United States stands ready to help the people of Burma as they emerge from decades of isolation.
"Today, I've come to keep my promise and extend the hand of friendship," President Obama said. "America now has an Ambassador in Rangoon, sanctions have been eased, and we will help rebuild an economy that can offer opportunity for its people, and serve as an engine of growth for the world. But this remarkable journey has just begun, and has much further to go. Reforms launched from the top of society must meet the aspirations of citizens who form its foundation. The flickers of progress that we have seen must not be extinguished -- they must be strengthened; they must become a shining North Star for all this nation's people."
Read the remarks from President Obama and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi here, read the remarks by President Obama and President Thein Sein after their bilateral meeting here. Editor's Note: This entry first appeared on the White House Blog.
Kelley F. in Pennsylvania writes:
Thank you President Obama and Team and Secretary Clinton and Team for taking these positive, peace-filled steps in Asia and the Mid East. You are showing "the world" a solid example of cohesiveness and making the vision of interdependence and peace real. My kids and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
I am happy to see your visit with President Thein Sein, and Aung San Suu Kyi was a good one.
I liked the remarks President Obama made on his visit. Here is two of them I thought were really good.
"I could not be more grateful, not only for your service, Hillary, but also for the powerful message that you and Aung San Suu Kyi send about the importance of women and men everywhere embracing and promoting democratic values and human rights".
"So again, I want to thank you, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, for your extraordinary hospitality and grace; the power of your example, which has been an inspiration to people all around the world, including myself".
Have A Great Thanksgiving ! :)
Cynthia M. in the U.S.A. writes:
To: Burmese Educators, President Thein Sein, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, President Obama, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
When we embrace democratic values and human rights, we sometimes forget that their foundation is rooted in education. I hope that you build a sound educational system, so you can avoid the pitfalls that we have recently stumbled into in our country.
Due to my old age, I've had time to observe many thousands of people. As a former teacher I've had the opportunity to closely observe hundreds of people. What I learned is that we (American educators) no longer emphasize teaching our young how to think logically; nor do we teach them how to dissect and analyze news articles, political statements, and advertisements. It seems to me that a people who are unable to analyze statements, articles, etc. are not properly prepared to defend and support democratic institutions.
I have noticed three problems whose solution is rooted in education. The first is the lack of an ability to analyze what is heard or read. The second is the high number of youths who have entered gangs or who participate in other illegal pursuits. And the third problem is that the majority of our citizens do not actively participate in government at the local level. What these three groups have in common is that they can barely read or are not proficient readers. To have a vibrant civilian population that actively participates in safeguarding civil rights, one must have a literate population. This is something that we seem to have forgotten.
(Background: My first year of teaching I just knew that I was going to be named teacher of the year for the United States, since I had managed to teach students who came into my class reading at first and second grade levels and bring them up to eleventh and twelfth grade or above. I had medical doctors observe my classes to see how I managed to get children with dyslexia to enjoy reading books. I had ambassadors from Israel and Japan spend days observing my classes. I also had children enter the University of Washington without taking any remedial classes. My gang members (Bloods, Crips, ABC's, and NBC's) quit their gangs without being asked to quit. In fact, once my children were fluent enough so they could read for the enjoyment of reading, they all quit their illegal activities.)

Anne Demelenne, General Secretary of Fédération Générale du Travail de Belgique
And Victor Baez, Secretary General of the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (TUCA) and the chair of this session,
Members of the trades unions, SustainLabour, colleagues, friends,
We meet on the eve of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development or Rio+20.
You have asked each of the speakers in this session reflect on three issues.
If you will allow me to perhaps just touch on the first question as I think this could preoccupy me for far longer than the allotted time.
Suffice to say last week we launched UNEP's Global Environment Outlook-5.
This science-based assessment pulls no punches and speaks of emerging tipping points in Earth systems that are likely to increase social pressures and tensions as well as significant economic impacts.
GEO-5 also points to the failure of governments to implement what they have agreed.
The experts examined 90 of the most important of these agreements for its annual Global Environmental Outlook report and came to some startling conclusions:
On the economy, there is perhaps the overarching issue of an urgent need to discover or rediscover a notion of 'wealth' in which human-well-being, a rich concept of prosperity versus short-term profit becomes society's barometer of economic failure or success.
Socially as we know there is the urgent need to generate jobs—decent jobs, Green jobs if you will.
I would also not to lose sight of the wider issue of social protection in the sense of public and workers health however.
One startling fact from GEO-5 is the sheer number of chemicals being used daily that are 'not tested—with the licensing of chemical production increasingly into developing countries, this is also an issue that should be on our collective radar.
Honourable delegates,
We know from the debate and the analysis of the past five years in which the International Labour Organization, UNEP and the trades unions have cooperated on the Green Jobs initiative, that there is good evidence that a transition to a Green Economy could generate real employment opportunities.
Indeed our new report "Working towards sustainable development: Opportunities for decent work and social inclusion in a green economy" estimates that the transformation to a greener economy could generate 15 to 60 million additional and new jobs globally over the next two decades and lift tens of millions of workers out of poverty.
The interesting fact of course here is the wide margin—15 million or up to 60 million.
So clearly there is a lot at stake at Rio+20—including either timid job generation as a result of a weakly enabled Green Economy.
Or a much more impressive employment scenario if world leaders act across all the issues to to generate a landscape, the governance structures and the financial pathways and policies that also engage the private sector to ensure that all parts of the world are part of this paradign shift.
In short Rio+20 is about scaling-up and accelerating the Green Economy transformation already manifest in most if not all countries across the globe.
There are many proposals on the table at Rio+20 which could play important roles in setting the world on that course that enables both a just and an a meaningful transition.
Let me mention a few.
Indeed one of the highlights here in Brazil on World Environment Day last week was President Dilma Rousseff signing into force just such as policy.
There are many reasons to suppose this will not only generate better run companies with more sustainable profiles socially and environmentally, it also opens up more opportunities for pension funds to invest in firms doing 'the right' thing.
Honourbale delegates,
Rio+20 is not like some fairy godmother going to a wave a wand and deliver nirvana.
We all know that—but it has already sparked a great deal of really quite penetrating debate and discourse about the Future We Want and many creative proposals that hold the seeds to a more sustainable century.
Your meeting here, the second Trades Union Assembly on Labour and Environment after the first held in Nairobi at UNEP in 2006, is for sure one of the most important meetings on the eve of the Summit.
I say that not as a sycophant or to generate a warm glow but as a pragmatist.
Rio+20 is attracting some world leaders because of environmental issues and others perhaps see the Summit more through the economic lens.
But there is one global issue that unites them all in part because right here and right now it is becoming so politically risky and politically charged—and that is the employment crisis not least among the young in developing and developed countries alike.
Indeed articulating the urgency of a transition towards a Green Economy through the social lens is perhaps the fastest way of bringing the world to a cooperative series of agreements in just over a week's time that will also trigger potentially profound environmental and economic outcomes over the coming years and decades.


text: Men's Cross Country Comes In 17th at NCAA MeetWhen you finish the season higher than projected, you have every reason to be happy. Which is why HU men's CC coach Paul Schmaedeke was smiling Saturday afternoon when his team finished 17th in a field of 32 teams at the NCAA Championships in Winneconne, Wis. The Pipers' total of 422 points was a mere 21 points out of 15th place and only 80 away from the top 10. "We wanted to be in the top 15 but considering we were projected 26th (in the final NCAA poll), that's a pretty good day," Schmaedeke said. "We beat the teams that beat us (in the NCAA regional) last week. That's a great way to end up." Hamline finished ahead of Nebraska Wesleyan and conference rival St. Olaf, the two teams that defeated them in that regional last weekend in Waverly, Iowa. Nebraska Wesleyan, rated first in the NCAA Central Regional, was 21st and the Oles were 23rd. As has often been the case, it was the senior co-captains who led the way for HU. Jack Deichert finished in 20th place overall (15th in placement), negotiating the 8K course in a time of 24:37.97, to lead the HU contingent. This earned Jack a place on the All-American team. Devin Monson came in 68th (50th ) with a time of 25:04.34. Ellis Richardson was 98th (73rd )at 25:16.74. Colin Rogers was the next Piper across the line at 174th place (131st, 25:44.53). Nate Dobbins was the fifth scorer, ending at 201st place (153rd, 25:58.74). Chris Reisdorfer (216th, 165th) and Brendan Ruter (243rd, 190th) rounded out the seven-runner squad. In all, 279 runners competed in the race. The NCAA race marked the end for CC competition for Deichert, Monson and Richardson. The trio was part of three consecutive MIAC championships as well as three trips to the NCAA meet. They came away with their best team results of their three trips to nationals. In 2009, HU was 23rd. Last year, the Pipers finished 22nd. For a complete listing of all the men's results, click here.

Please see the Seminar on Multilateral Environmental Agreements and their relevance to the Arctic, 21-22 September 2006 page for more information on the results of this seminar, including presentations, background report and final recommendations.
Rapid environmental changes are taking place in the Arctic, threatening the livelihoods of people of the far North and endangering Arctic flora and fauna. But these changes, and those predicted for the future, will have global effects. Sea level rise from melting ice, altered global ocean circulation from changes in the polar seas, and changes to Arctic breeding grounds of migratory birds, fish and marine mammals are global issues that require global solutions. While there are several global and regional Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) relevant to the Arctic, none have an exclusive Arctic scope.
The seminar is co-organized by GRID-Arendal and the Standing Committee for Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region (SCPAR), and co-sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The seminar builds on the 7th Conference of the Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region in Kiruna, northern Sweden, held at the beginning of August this year. One of the main topics of the conference was Innovation in the Arctic Governance: the possibilities and limitations of a binding legal regime for the Arctic.
The Conference Statement included requests to governments in the Arctic region and institutions of the European Union: "In light of the impact of climate change, and the increasing economic and human activity, [to] initiate, as a matter of urgency, an audit of existing legal regimes that impact the Arctic and to continue the discussion about strengthening or adding to them where necessary," and to "Propose to the United Nations that the scope of the Annual Treaty Event in 2007, or at the earliest possible time, should be UN Treaties relevant to the Arctic."
The objective of this seminar is to identify gaps, challenges, and steps that can be taken to make the global MEAs more relevant to the Arctic region and more useful in ensuring good governance and sustainable development. The outcome of this seminar should be a set of recommendations. On Day 2 we will develop draft recommendations and decide on a process for review and endorsement. The aim is to submit these recommendations to the Arctic Council and to the MEA secretariats, and to distribute them widely to Arctic stakeholders.

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). Note: the Notable Specimens list should be used with caution - it has been updated in my 2013 edition of "The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794-1804."
B-31. H-unlisted.
OBVERSE 13: See description under 1798 BB-113. Obverse die used to strike BB-113 (1st use), 1798 BB-114 (2nd use), BB:115 (3rduse), BB:116 (4th use), BB-117 (5th use), BB-118 (6th use), BB-119 (7th and final use).
REVERSE M: Star close to both upper and lower points of eagle's beak but does not touch; ray points to upper outside right of B of PLURIBUS. Line star pattern. Leaf points near center of upright of I in AMERICA. Five small berries, the two upper ones closest together. Slight die crack along upper side of right wing tip. The berries are small but the One at the top right appears slightly. smaller than the others. 13 arrows, with the one overlapping the third shaft from the right having a tiny head.
This reverse die, first described by Bolender in 1950, was not known to J.W. Haseltine when he wrote his Type-Table in 1881.
Reverse die used to strike 1798 BB-115 only.
Die State I: Obverse: Die cracks as seen on BB-116, but in a slightly earlier state. The chip on the denticle below 9 is not quite as advanced as BB-116. Sawtooth line of denticle clash marks not visible on BB-115. Perfect reverse die. May not exist with perfect reverse die.
Die State II: Obverse: As preceding. Reverse: Slight die crack along upper side of eagle's right wing tip (on left side of coin). Tiny arc line (possibly used by the engraver as a guide for punching letters) near border between Sand 0 in OF. Slightly scarcer than Die State IV.
Die State III: Intermediate state between II and IV, not otherwise described. New Netherlands Sale 48:55, VF-20, was called superior to the Ralph Lathrop specimen in the 1952 ANA Convention sale. The Spies Collection coin (Stack's, 1974) was catalogued as Fine-VF.
Die State IV: Bolender-31a. Now with extensive die cracks on reverse. Heavy crack from border down through right side of 0 to cloud; another crack from border to top of F to wing, down to cloud below, from border at right wing tip through A under MERICA across claw, stem, and tail; continuing under UNI, across bottom of TED, left wing tip, center of STA. Also four curved die cracks down from TES through stars. All seen are very weak above the eagle's head and at the corresponding obverse. The die could not have been used much longer than this die state. Slightly more plentiful than Die State II.
COLLECTING NOTES: 1798 BB-115 is known to the extent of about 175 to 300 coins, and is one of the more elusive issues of the year. Most are of Die State IV. Most are in lower grades. The auction listing for an Uncirculated piece is several decades old, and in the absence of contradictory information, I call it EF45 in the Condition Census.
It is a small wonder that even as many as 175 or so coins are known, considering that Haseltine in 1881 did not know of the variety. It was a rarity in M.H. Bolender's eyes, and in 1950 he estimated that no more than a dozen existed of each of the two die states of which he was aware. Since then, dozens more have been discovered.
Gross Specimen. AU-55. Country Store, Inc., New Brighton, MN, January 1983, sold to the following. Yolanda Gross Collection.
Hollinbeck-Kagin Specimen. AU-50. Hollinbeck-Kagin, June 1970: 617. "Struck from broken dies resulting in lower portion of collar of bust and opposite portion of reverse (top right star) not being fully struck up, near Uncirculated with lustre."
DeCoppet Specimen. EF-45. James Kelly, Andre DeCoppet Collection, 1955. "Choice EF, stars and clouds on reverse weakly struck."
Baldenhofer Specimen. EF-45. W.G. Baldenhofer to Stack's, Farish-Baldenhofer Sale, 1955. A.J Ostheimer, 3rd Collection. Superior Galleries, ANA Convention Sale, 1975:905. "Reverse die cracks. EF-45, lightly toned obverse, with a darker gray tone on the reverse. Reverse weakly struck up above eagle's head as usual. Minimal signs of handling, but well rubbed on the high spots. Not perfectly centered."
Ostheimer Specimen. EF-45. W. Earl Spies Collection. Lester Merkin, A. J Ostheimer, 3rd Collection, 1968:271. "EF-AU, mint lustre, obverse exceptionally sharply struck, reverse weak above eagle's head as always on the broken die states but elsewhere bold. Traces of old cleaning."
Higgins Specimen. EF-45. Bowers and Merena Galleries, Lloyd M. Higgins, M.D. Collection, 1988:2310. "EF-45 to AU-50. Pink, lilac and golden toning highlights smooth gray surfaces. Most details are well defined, and original mint lustre is present in the upper right field of the reverse."
Willasch Specimen. EF-45. Superior Galleries, H. Roland Willasch Collection, 1990. "Glossy with golden toning gracing clean devices and fields. A minor planchet flaw across star 12 will assist in tracing the pedigree of this rare coin. Faint scratches are visible above eagle's head."
Gilhousen Specimen. EF-40. Superior Galleries, Gilhousen Collection, 1973:1245. "Extremely rare shattered die. EF, the reverse seemingly VF but its weakness is definitely from die failure. Unusually broad border. Mint lustre and iridescent toning. Bolender plate coin."
Willasch Specimen. EF-40. Superior Galleries, H. Roland Willasch Collection, 1990:514. "Medium gray toning with hints of lustre in the fields peeking out. Well struck and defect-free. This scarce die pairing coupled with the familiar obverse die with the three die cracks through the date with a new reverse die, which quickly cracked. The reverse cracks weaken the upper stars and cloud above the eagle. Late die state with several cracks mentioned by Bolender."

Jaime Hernandez:
The 1955-D Jefferson Nickel is fairly common and examples can still be found in circulation. It is only scarce in MS65 grade and higher. There are still many opened rolls out there with coins in MS62-MS65 quality but some MS65's or better have probably been removed and sold as singles. In MS66 condition they are really scarce with less than a hundred known and none being finer. A very difficult coin to say the least in MS66 condition.

Ready or Not - Page 10
Following the Leaders
Name: Bradley Williams
Age: 29
Hometown: Dubuque, Iowa
UROC Time: 15:23, 50th place
Who he is: Williams works for a specialty running shop, the Shoe Shack, and instructs exercise classes at the local YMCA. When he's not working, he's likely trail running. Williams has competed seven ultras, including The North Face 50K and Dances With Dirt 50K, both in Wisconsin.
Why UROC? UROC was just what I was looking for -- a 100K in the mountains, in the fall. But what really hooked me was the race's objective. It's like being a football fan and going to the Super Bowl. Only I'm not in the stands but on the field. With names like Geoff Roes, Michael Wardian and Dave Mackey toeing the line, I knew I wanted to be there.
How was your race? I had never run a 100K, and was a bit disappointed with my time. I got cold in the second half of the race and had to wrap up in blankets and eat three cups of soup. That cost me 30 minutes. I'd love to come back next year and run faster. But at the end of the day, only 79 people finished and I was one of them. I learned more about myself and loved every minute of it.
How did you like the course? I don't think there's ever been an event that requires such a large skill set. I loved the mix of pavement, jeep roads, singletrack and boulder fields.
What did you think of the championship concept? Some folks don't like the hoopla and want to keep the sport to themselves. It's like when your favorite indie band goes mainstream. But ultrarunning is growing and we need to have a race where the best of the best can show what they've got while we average Joes get to be a part of it. UROC nailed that while maintaining a small feel.
Back of the Pack
Name: Matt Nelson
Age: 46
Hometown: West Palm Beach, Florida
UROC Time: 17:48, 79th place
Who he is: A father of four, Nelson was a U.S. Marine Corps officer for 13 years and now works for a major pharmaceutical company. He founded a non-profit in 2005, the Endurance Trust (www.endurancetrust.org), which provides endurance athletes with sponsorships to help offset race fees and raise money for various causes. He has run more than a dozen ultras, including the Canadian Death Race and UROC's predecessor, the Great Eastern Endurance Run, along with many self-supported, multi-day ultras.
What self-supported events have you completed? I raised money for Haiti Earthquake victims by running "80 for Haiti" in January 2010 and then ran 250 miles in five days across the Florida Everglades and Keys to raise money for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. I have also run stage races in the Gobi Desert (China), Sahara Desert (Egypt), Atacama Desert (Chile), Namib Desert (Namibia) and The Kimberly (Australia).
Why UROC? My Florida running buddies and I decided that the opportunity to run on the same course with big names in the sport like Michael Wardian, Geoff Roes, Dave James, Ian Sharman and Devon Crosby-Helms was worth the drive up to Virginia.
What was your race like? I was stung nine times by yellow jackets, which made the next 16 miles very painful. I was struggling, feeling off my game, but up until mile 48 I was on track to make the 17-hour-buckle cut off. Then I hit the wall: extreme fatigue, lack of focus, unexpected muscle aches. I pushed it in as best I could.
How do you feel about your finish? I was surprised there were only 79 finishers out of 173 starters. I was sure many of the people whom I had passed could have finished. So why did I keep running? I don't have it in me to quit. I have learned over the years that it is 90-percent mental. That you can will yourself through some of the worst situations as long as you don't give up.

About the Author: Major General (Ret) Scott Gration serves as the President's Special Envoy to Sudan.
As our UN helicopter landed in Muglad, the large crowd of locals and tribal elders quickly approached our small plane. We were quickly ushered into a meeting hall, where we listened intently as the Misseriya tribal elders spoke passionately about their community's concerns.
Muglad is a major town in Southern Kordofan, Sudan, and one of the ancestral areas of the Misseriya. It is just north of the Abyei region of Sudan, an area on the North-South border that has been a hotbed of tension and conflict. Ongoing disputes about the boundaries of this area led to a recent decision this year by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in the Hague outlining the final boundaries. I was in Abyei when this decision was handed down, and I returned to the region last week to listen to the people from the area about how they've received this decision, including the nomadic Misseriya tribe and the Ngok Dinka, whose traditional homeland is the Abyei Area. Having heard from Ngok Dinka leaders earlier that day, it was time to hear directly from the Misseriya. They made it clear that they were highly concerned about the PCA ruling, voicing their distress that Misseriya land had been taken away.
There has been a lot of misinformation about the PCA decision. Reports that the demarcation commission would build a wall on the border are not true, and reports that the Misseriya would be denied access are also false. In fact, the decision specifically grants access rights to the Misseriya and does not dictate the construction of any sort of barrier.
It is crucial that Sudan and the international community work to implement the ruling of the PCA. It is important that the demarcation of the border get underway, and it is also crucial that, as decided by the PCA, the Misseriya and the Ngok Dinka both are guaranteed access rights to the Abyei region. It is fundamental that we respect the rights and the needs of those who call Abyei and the surrounding areas home.
On this trip I also made a visit to Darfur. I traveled to El Fasher, North Darfur's capital, and then on to El Geneina in West Darfur near the Chad-Sudan border. I met with UNAMID leaders and others to monitor the status of the security situation and related issues along the border. Ending the tension and the conflict on the border is crucial in bringing peace to Darfur. Additionally, with national elections in Sudan coming up in April 2010, I also took the opportunity on this trip to visit voter registration sites in Khartuom, Abyei, and Darfur. I look forward to sharing more of my observations from my trip in the following days.
Thank you for your continued interest, Scott.

Hello,Major Gen...Scott Gration...:)
It's nice too hear about how your trip is progressing. I hope things work out in the border decision that was made by the Arbitration Court. I think after they have their elections in April 2010.Their country will have more opportunitys towards building a lasting peace, and enhancing their economic future.
Anyways, hope you had a great "Thanksgiving Day" :)

This may seem simplistic, but if the nomads were trading goods with the locals in peace, then I would think those who cross upon another's land won't be percieved doing so as trespass.
