Campaigning Complicates Governing
Obama's Bid to Boost His Party's 2014 Midterm Prospects Risks GOP Support for Second-Term Goals
President Barack Obama is about to launch his most concerted effort yet to help Democrats win full control of Congress, a foray that could bolster the party in the 2014 midterm elections but threatens to undercut his efforts to win Republican support for his second-term initiatives on immigration, gun control and the budget.
Mr. Obama is headlining fundraisers in San Francisco next week for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the organization that helps House candidates, the kickoff of a political blitz unlike anything he did in his first term to help party's congressional wing. All told, Mr. Obama has agreed to headline about 21 party fundraising events this year alone.
In addition, Vice President Joe Biden already has jumped into the fray, speaking at a House campaign event in New York last weekend. "The country's ready to move and we have a House of Representatives that is in the way right now," Mr. Biden said in New York. And both Messrs. Obama and Biden have agreed to help recruit candidates for the party.
Democrats are delighted. But the president's intensified partisan commitment fuels a Republican view that Mr. Obama wants his party to control Congress for the final two years of his presidency more than he wants bipartisan achievements in the next two years. "He's the president who never ends the campaign," said Rep. Greg Walden (R., Ore.), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. "So we see a couple quick trips up to Capitol Hill to say 'Can't we get along?' then there's the never-ending campaign to take out Republicans."
Democrats control the Senate, but Republicans have controlled the House since the 2010 midterm elections. It is hardly unusual for a president to be helping his party in midterm elections while pursuing bipartisan legislative goals. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton both were heavily involved in their parties' midterm campaigns while seeking bipartisan legislative deals
But Mr. Obama's effort is being launched at a time when he is mounting a particularly public outreach to Republicans on budget issues, but it has been met with consistent skepticism.
Earlier this month, Mr. Obama had dinner with Senate Republicans to seek partners for a possible budget deal. He visited with larger groups of House and Senate Republicans behind closed doors. Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, said those efforts aren't undercut by the president's fundraising plans.
"The president is absolutely committed to helping House and Senate Democrats in every way possible in next year's elections —just as Republican leaders will do everything to defeat Democrats—but that doesn't mean we can't try to forge bipartisan compromise to help the middle class,'' Mr. Pfeiffer said.
New York Rep. Steve Israel, the Democrats' House campaign committee chairman, said Mr. Obama's fundraising will complement rather than undercut his legislative aims. If Republicans won't compromise, Mr. Israel said, "he needs a Democratic Congress that will work with him."
But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has said he is particularly discouraged that the campaign 2014 focus has kicked in so soon after the 2012 election. "I know Washington Democrats' most important priority right now is getting Nancy Pelosi her old job back in 2014," Mr. McConnell said earlier this month. "But that's not what Americans want—and that's why Washington has become so dysfunctional."
Mr. Obama has made it clear to fellow Democrats that winning control of the House is a top priority. He has promised this year to headline six fundraising events for the House campaign committee, six for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, two House-Senate events and about seven for the Democratic National Committee. The first House events will be Wednesday in San Francisco, where donors can pay $5,000 a person for a cocktail reception and $32,400 a head for a dinner. Later this spring, he will headline an Atlanta fundraiser for Senate Democrats.
Mr. Obama's political team also is prepared to share with other candidates another valuable resource: the millions of email addresses and other troves of voter data it amassed during his 2012 presidential race. The commitment is a quantum leap over the scant aid Mr. Obama offered to congressional fundraisers in his first term.
But even with this president's support, Democrats face a stiff challenge; many states and districts they need to take the House and keep control of the Senate are places where the president is unpopular.
In the Senate, Republicans need to gain six seats for a majority. Of the 21 Democrat-held seats up for reelection in 2014, seven are in states Mr. Obama lost in 2012. In the House, Democrats need 17 more seats to win a majority and historically, a second-term president's party often loses seats in a midterm.

About Me
I am a retired dog groomer who always has dabbled in some form of art/craft. Four years ago I decided I wanted to be a potter! I took a wheel class at the local art center and loved it as much as I thought I would. However, in the business of every day life, I only dabbled at that too. However, lately I have renewed my effort and have been seriously endeavoring to throw almost daily. I am working on building a really strong throwing foundation and hope to eventually have both well thrown and well designed functional pottery.

Discussion in 'History Zone' started by Hostile, Jan 2, 2012.
Maybe Jerry will hire him as the new GM.
(you said make believe)
..............and Campo is still a coach here, try and figure that one out.
Here is a question for the Tuna, at the time I did not post on here I would just read what everyone had to say. As a matter of fact you did not need an account to go on here then. Parcell took Bledsoe as a veteran QB, does anybody remember what superbowl winning and future hall of fame qb was also available during his time here? I kept hoping they would go after him but they never did, he ended up with a team that has been kicking our behind quite a bit recently and won a superbowl and lost one with them. He could have been in Dallas if our front office really new how to evaluate talent and I don't care if 31 other teams passed on him I only care about ours and with the play we were getting at quarterback he would have been a definite upgrade. Besides I think had they gotten him he would have been the perfect leader for a young team and the guy to put T.O. in his place. Yes I will say it, we would have won a superbowl if he came here.
We would have had another trophy.
Huh..........Kurt Warner? It's the only name that remotely makes sense and he was with St. Louis when Parcells arrived and did not become available till 2005.
And with out him we would be a mediocre team.............. oh shnizzel.
I'm beyond exhausted.
I've had high hopes for the team since 2005, and don't have anything remotely close to a success. And I don't call success ONLY being a Super Bowl.
Why are you talking in circles? Are you saying Parcells passed on a QB that both won and lost a super bowl while Parcells was in Dallas? Only Pittsburgh and New England qualify if that is your parameters and the whole 31 teams passed addition removes Ben.
Yeah I figured he must have made a mistake. Nobody fits.
My guess was Drew Brees.
hope your bet wasn't against another Cowboys fan, that the Boys wouldn't make the playoffs.
I hate pretend fans.
Being a realist makes you a "pretend" fan? This team has been inconsistent all year and came up short time and time again in big games. Were you surprised they choked? I sure wasn't. I didn't make any bets, but I figured the second Garrett iced Bailey the wheels were surely coming off.
Thank goodness we avoided that!
Imagine what would of happened to this team if we had two complete drafts (16 picks) where only 7 of the players were still on the active roster just 6 and 7 years later!
Considering that's the last time Jerry did not mettle in the process.........oops
Seriously people, look at Parcells draft record here..........I mean seriously
1 Terence Newman
2 Al Johnson
3 Jason Witten
4 Bradie James
6 B. J. Tucker
6 Zuriel Smith
7 Justin Bates
2 Julius Jones
2 Jacob Rogers
3 Stephen Peterman
4 Bruce Thornton
5 Sean Ryan
7 Nathan Jones
7 Patrick Crayton
7 Jacques Reeves
1 DeMarcus Ware
1 Marcus Spears
2 Kevin Burnett
4 Marion Barber III
4 Chris Canty
6 Justin Beriault
6 Rob Petitti
7 Jay Ratliff
1 Bobby Carpenter
2 Anthony Fasano
3 Jason Hatcher
4 Skyler Green
5 Pat Watkins
6 Montavious Stanley
7 Pat McQuistan
7 E. J. Whitley
I mean really, he gets too much credit. He totally tanked the 2006 and 2004 drafts. If it was not for his 2005 draft where truth be told he had to be talked into DeMarcus Ware and vocally wanted to take Spears with the same pick he took Ware with and hit on Witten in Newman his first year it would go down as the worst 4 year stretch in history.
yeah you were so happy for having campo
Some people just cannot see the forrest for the trees
Being a realist or not, you shouldn't bet agains the team you root for.
Parcells is the only reason we have any chance to contend today. He completely turned around this franchise and did so joined at the hip with Jerry. That's tough to do.
To claim he leaves when the going gets tough is laughable. This is a guy who joins awful teams and rebuilds them. He's not some Phil Jackson of the NFL here.
Wait what? Because I did not like the Parcells hiring I had to like the Campo hiring?
Made more money betting against them.:
Wow, no.
And the Parcells drafts are a ton better than the garbage we had here from 1994-2002.
Pick any 4 years you want. They all sucked large.
I don't disagree (HATE the Carpenter & Spears picks), because '04 and '06 were terrible.
That said, drafting two future Hall of Famers in '03 & '05 (although by most reports Jerry actually made the Ware selection) ain't bad.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You did a beautiful job! Sure wish I had mine that far along. Please post after you quilt it, okay? Love lavendars and purples...nice work, Foxflower!
"A woman is like a tea bag-you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt
Thanks ladies. It's for a little girl who loves purple and lime green. Well, these aren't lime greens, but I think it'll be close enough!
"Life is mostly froth and bubble, but one thing stands as stone. Kindness in another's trouble, courage in one's own." Adam Lindsey Gordon
Very pretty, Foxflower. Can't wait to see it quilted.
Oh WOW!! that's gorgeous, foxflower!!
Karen, aka yayaquilts (yaya-Greek for grandma to 5 beautiful granbabies, 2 girls & 3 boys)
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and the fingers just won't work anymore."
Your quilt is so pretty Foxflower. Mine is sitting on the table telling me that I need to finish her.
Sweet Caroline
Clearly, mine sat around for awhile too. Then I found somebody who needed it, so that was the motivation to get it done. I like it with the alternating colors in the center that I needed to make bigger. I'm also lucky that our quilt guild does more sewing together than talking. It's like a mini-retreat for me and I get a lot done. You ladies will get yours done eventually!
"Life is mostly froth and bubble, but one thing stands as stone. Kindness in another's trouble, courage in one's own." Adam Lindsey Gordon
I may well be the last finisher. This is going on a sewing room wall in my daughter's house. She likes close quilting, I don't, but this was a chance to try. It isn't as perfect as it could be, but the colors will make up for it. As always, the true colors are brighter than the picture.
Nope Irishrose. I still have not finished mine. It is in the UFO pile. I think I need a boot kick in order to finish. BTW I love your colors and quilting.
Sweet Caroline
Mine is in the UFO pile too. Maybe someday it will be the inspiration for putting all of those blocks into a lap quilt.

For family recreation, take the kids ice fishing
Consider taking a family of five to dinner and a movie. For cheap fast food at six bucks per person, you're already at $30. Movie tickets, conservatively speaking, will run you about $40. Throw in popcorn and a Coke for everybody and that's another $30 easy.
Add it up and you're looking at a minimum of $100 for just one night out. And both the movie and the grub will probably stink!
Rather than taking your family to movies that do very little to bring everyone together, I want to encourage you to go ice fishing instead. There's nothing like a fun, productive day on the ice to put smiles on kids' faces and make your family bond closer than ever.
And instead of spending money on junk food, you'll come home with the healthiest, most delicious food there is: fish fillets.
To properly introduce your clan to the magic of the frozen water world, it's important to take the right approach to make sure everyone has a great time. So here's a handy checklist to follow this winter:
Warmth and comfort
Nothing kills an otherwise perfect day of ice fishing like discomfort. You want everyone to be cozy and safe. That doesn't mean you have to go out and buy an expensive "wheelhouse" fishing shelter.
Nope, for the price of three family movie nights you can pick up a portable hub-style fish house like an Eskimo Quickfish that goes up in a matter of minutes. They're available in 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-person models and with the addition of a portable propane heater, you'll be toasty inside in no time.
Bring some comfortable folding chairs and some good snacks and drinks and you'll be all set for a full day of fun.
The sight of bobbers going down is a thrill. Watching them float all day isn't. So when you first introduce your family to ice fishing, target a species that's most apt to provide you with consistent action.
Crappies, sunfish and perch are the ideal quarry. They're schooling fish, so where you find one you're likely to find many. Plus, panfish and perch are the best species to keep for the frying pan. Talk with your local bait shop or to other ice anglers for advice on where the panfish are biting.
Your gear for panfish can be very simple. Inexpensive rods and reels spooled with light monofilament (3-4 pound test) will do just fine. An assortment of small ice jigs with live bait (waxworms and small crappie minnows) suspended beneath slip bobbers is virtually all you'll need.
To make ice fishing more productive and entertaining, add a sonar unit and underwater camera to your equipment bag. Sonar will help you locate fish and catch them.
And it's virtually impossible for kids to get bored if they can watch fish on "TV" with an underwater camera. A camera also teaches everyone a lot about fish behavior. You'll discover how imparting a certain action to your bait can trigger a strike response from fish.
Other activities
Sometimes the fishing is hot and sometimes it's cold. During periods of inactivity, the kids might get restless. So bring along some things to help get them through the doldrums.
A football or Frisbee can go a long way in keeping children enthused about being out on the lake. Skates are great, too, if the conditions are right for skating. Nowadays, with nearly every kid owning a smart phone, go ahead and allow some video game playing when the fish aren't cooperating. It will keep you out longer so when the bite starts up again, you'll still be there and ready.
Be safe
Always check ice conditions before going ice fishing to ensure everyone's safety. As a rule of thumb, safe ice for walking is at least 4 inches. For snowmobiles or ATVs, make sure it's 5+ inches. And wait for a good foot of snow before ice driving in a medium sized car or truck.
Good fishing.


text: Ok, I've got a 1999 Suburban with 181,000 miles on it. 350 Vortec. On Mon. it started pinging badly. I pulled a code that was #6 cylinder misfire. Replaced the cap, rotor and wires as they were all looking a little beat up. #6 spark plug was wet. I did a compression test on all cylinders. Got about 150 psi across the board, except for #6 and #4. They were both around 30-40 psi. I put a few squirts of oil in the cylinder and the compression stayed the same. So, I'm assuming the rings are fine(no blue smoke out of the exhaust), all I can think is that it's a carboned up valve or valves. I ran some Seafoam through it. Made lots of smoke but still had the rough idle, detonation and the same code. I may run a little more Seafoam through, but, looks like I'll be pulling the heads this weekend. What I'm thinking of doing is getting some new or rebuilt heads, an aluminum intake manifold, water pump and all the little things I come across. Am I barking up the right tree? Looking for some advice on where to go from here. Thanks

John Skelton's Court Dispute
EL PASO, Texas - Burges High alum John Skelton has made a name for himself in the NFL. In 2010 Skelton was a fifth round selection in the NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
As he tried to avoid sacks from defensive lineman, records show the QB was avoiding child support.
In 2006 when John Skelton went off to Fordham in New York to play college football, he graduated from Burges High School not just with a diploma, but a daughter on the way.
For the first three years of his child's life the mother of his child said he wasn't asked to pay child support, but that changed when he was drafted and began earning an NFL salary.
"Honestly, I can't think of all the times," the mother of John Skelton's daughter said. "Like, there's been issues when I've had to call and remind him or call the attorney general and tell them 'look he hasn't paid anything.'"
The mother of John Skelton's daughter asked ABC-7 not to identify her. She got pregnant in high school, but after acknowledging and agreeing that he would become financially responsible for his then three year old daughter after college, she says John Skelton didn't seem to be sticking to his word.
According to the mother, when Skelton denied the girl was his the court ordered a paternity test.
"They were second guessing that (___) wasn't his," the mother of John Skelton's daughter told ABC-7 Sports Reporter Asher Wildman.
The paternity test showed Skelton was the father. In June of 2010 the Texas Attorney General issued a "Notice of Child Support Lien" stating Skelton owed more than nine-thousand dollars to the child. Ouisa Davis, a family attorney for the county of El Paso would not speak about Skelton's case, but explains how some parents may find themselves with big bills.
"A lot of times in establishment cases, one of the things the attorney is going to do is not only establish the parent child relationship and the continuing child support obligation, the custodial parent also has a right to collect up to four years of retroactive support," Davis said.
The Cardinals then had to withhold money from his paycheck. A total of $267 dollars a month. Two years later, a judge ordered that amount to be $2,000 a month.
"All that stuff with the NFL that doesn't mean anything to me." The mother of Skelton's daughter said. "I just want him to have a relationship with my daughter, I mean his daughter. That's all I want."
For nearly the next two years, records show Skelton was in and out of court and last spring, the court found there was an arrearage in child support of more than $19,000.
"It was stressful and confusing," the mother of Skelton's child explained. "Because a lot of times I did not know what to do. I have always had my family's support but being 17 and having a daughter in high school on your own and seeing the father leave you with all the responsibility its been hard, really hard. I had to mature quick but I mean, it just made me stronger."
The court ordered Skelton to pay the lump sum, as well as purchase health insurance for his daughter, and set up a life insurance policy on himself on his daughter's behalf. According to the mother of his child, earlier this year John Skelton told her he wanted to become a better father and have a more prominent role.
"I just want everything to work out between my daughter and him, that's all I want. even if he wasn't in the NFL, even if he was working here in El Paso, I would still be the same way."
Currently, John Skelton is a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. He is expected to compete for the team's backup quarterback position in the fall.
For the past two weeks, ABC-7's Asher Wildman has reached out to Skelton's lawyer in El Paso, his father, his agent, and Skelton himself. Wildman met personally with Skelton's father for 90 minutes, but he did not want to state anything on the record. On Sunday, Wildman reached out to Skelton Sr. once again, but he told Wildman their family did want to comment on this story.
Update: John Skelton tweeted the following at 1:17 p.m. Mountain Time on May 30, 2013: "I do not need to defend myself against erroneous, defaming information. People who know me, know the truth."

On another post, (taking it on the chin) several have mentioned about the number of hives dead/alive, etc. I thought an actual topic to discuss or inform others as to the total hive losses this year, and your assumptions as to the contributing cause of death would be informative.
What mite control items did you use? Are you fogging, small cell, apistan, checkmite, "el Natural", acids, or other? Hope nobody has any hidden pride or agendas.
What kind of queens?
How many hives? I'm interested in those with perhaps more than 10/20 hives. Not to take anything away from anyone, but 2 hives with daily attention has a high suvivability factor.
Was this year (winter) better or worse than previously, and what factors do you attribute?

Chargers-Panthers Preview
When Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers looked at game film this week as he prepared for Sunday's opponent, he saw something that looked oddly familiar. The uniforms were different and the schemes foreign. But the team that he saw when studying the Carolina Panthers hit a little closer to home.
"This team, in a lot of ways, I look at their record and see a lot of how our year has been," Rivers told the media Wednesday before listing all the close losses the Panthers have suffered this year. "They could very easily be right there, sitting in a different spot."
The same could be said about San Diego.
With Cincinnati's decisive win Thursday night over the Philadelphia Eagles, the 5-8 Chargers were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and are grasping at the shadows of a season that might have been.. Five of San Diego's losses could plausibly be victories if the Chargers did not suffer epic meltdowns in the fourth quarter of those games. As Jim Nantz of CBS put it heading into halftime of San Diego's win over Pittsburgh last week: "If games were 30 minutes long, they'd be 9-3."
The same sentiment can be attributed to Carolina. The Panthers, who are 4-9, have lost seven games by six points or fewer. Often times, these losses have come at the bitter end. Quarterback Cam Newton fumbled the ball—and the lead—away in the team's second loss of the season to Atlanta. Newton also threw a fourth quarter interception against Chicago that led to a Bears go-ahead touchdown score. If any of this sounds familiar, it's because Rivers has been losing games for San Diego in the same fashion. The former All-Pro quarterback has 13 fourth quarter turnovers, including a league-high nine interceptions, the most of any quarterback in the NFL this year.
If any two teams in the NFL know how to lose games in the fourth quarter, it's the two that will meet at Qualcomm Stadium this Sunday. Combined, the two teams have 13 losses where the they had a tie or lead in the fourth quarter this season. "We just haven't been able to finish some of these games," Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis told panthers.com, "and it's extremely frustrating."
Funny thing is that both teams are coming off a rare late-season win over playoff (or what could be) playoff bound teams. Carolina notched a 30-20 victory over NFC-leading Atlanta last weekend as the Chargers won its first game in Pittsburgh over a Steelers team that is in control of its playoff destiny. And the sentiment coming out of Charlotte and San Diego seems to be the same. "I don't think our effort has been an issue in the games we've played," Chargers head coach Norv Turner told the media Monday. "We haven't been as efficient as we were yesterday. We've been in that game a bunch of times and the one play has gone against us."
That sounds eerily similar to what Panthers coach Ron Rivera said this week. "All the things seem to be coming together," Rivera said. "Unfortunately we didn't do it sooner, or it's just as much that we didn't finish some games that we should have." Maybe Carolina is having the same fortune San Diego is currently wallowing in because Rivera is a former Turner disciple and the staffs come from the same coaching tree. Many speculate that tree will get pruned at the end of the season with Turner getting his walking papers.
Rivera was the Chargers linebackers coach in 2007 and eventually became the team's defensive coordinator from 2008-2010, before taking the head coaching position in Carolina. Rob Chudzinksi was the tight ends and assistant head coach for the Chargers before becoming the offensive coordinator. Turner's son, Scott, is part of Carolina's offensive coaching staff. So when Rivers looks at that game tape as he continues to prepare for the Panthers this week, it's perfectly plausible that he could be looking at a mirror. There is, however, one small difference.
"I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but it'd be awesome to get to 8-8," Rivers said Wednesday when asked about San Diego's slim playoff chances. "Get in or not get in, no we wouldn't be satisfied and we'd be really disappointed. But, it would say something about us and our ability to finish the year." And that's something that nine-loss Carolina cannot have. The Panthers are ensured of a losing season, no matter the outcome of Sunday's game. The Chargers, though, are playing for a little bit more. They're still playing to make sure they don't suffer their first losing season since 2003.

OK well we are not going to the playoffs now no matter how you cut it...Norv is all but assured out the door (FINALLY) and I hope AJ is driving his own U-Haul the same day! So a win this week is a nice way to at least save us from a losing season, an even better way to review the rookies and give them a chance for some invaluable playing time. I don't like having Rivers in any game forwards...why risk your franchise QB?! All in all it has been a disaster of a season with so much potential...I can't wait for some new blood to stir us up! Some good trades and acquisitions in key need positions and I really think we will be in the hunt next year...yeap really!! Meantime, avoiding key injuries to key players and a win out is all I have left in me this year...oh and of coarse the most important game to win for me is against my forever hated rivals...the Raiders!!!
The Raider game... that one, although it doesn't matter in the scheme of things, it matters to Charger fans! I hate the thought of all the Raider fans being in our stadium but Dean Spanos has nobody to thank but himself. Keeping Norv and AJ last season doomed this franchise's season. Everybody in San Diego knew it, except Dean and the players. Beat the Raiders, and fire Norv and AJ. That's what we have to look forward too. I too am looking forward to the NEW BLOOD, RH!!!! If we win out, it will really piss me off, in a way. Why weren't we playing that way all season!!! Right now, I feel indifferent and am only looking forward to next year and changes. These six seasons with Norv have seemed like an eternity! I can't wait to move on and restore my faith.
Nick is fired up!!! He is thinking about the upcoming anti-Raider Day....oh yes! Any attendees should bring in banners that game that read things like " adios AJ and Norv", "thanks for Nothin' Norv", "thanks Norv for taking the fire out of our lightning" and of coarse "Raiders Suck"!! The day is near and soon we be rid of the cancer (AJNorvitis) that has plagued us the past years and start a rapid recovery into next year. Stay True to the Blue Nick!!!!
You know it RH!!! True Blue all the way! We have talent! We just need direction and hopefully, that all starts next year! I moved here in '93 and unlike all the other peeps that move here, to Americas finest city, I have been true BLUE , die hard, Charger fan since! I truly believe this thing can be turned around with new blood at the top. We need to fix the O-Line and then we'll be rolling! As soon as I hear Norv and AJ are gone, my faith will be restored!Go CHARGERS!!!!!
Yeah Buddy...Charge Time + Bolt Up....change is a comin" !!

"The move to CNC equipment will allow our organization to refine our current product mix while at the same time equip us to bring new and innovative product designs to the market," said Joe Mims, president and CEO of TTOT.
"We are confident that this partnership with CAMLS and Dr. Can Saygin's research team at UTSA will facilitate an environment where constant innovation and refinement will guide our future activities," said John Lee, COO of TTOT.
CAMLS was founded in 2007 at UTSA to address a growing need for a strong interdisciplinary organization to conduct research and development as well as provide education and training in lean manufacturing and six-sigma, supply chain and logistics engineering, warehouse systems, automation technologies, and advanced sensors and robotics.
TTOT is a Texas limited partnership in a family of companies dedicated to the contract manufacturing of biological solutions for treating disease and defect in humans. Specifically, TTOT's overall focus is concentrated in merging technologies specific to human musculoskeletal augmentation and wound regeneration. Its sister companies include Bone Bank Allografts (human tissue distribution), Texas Human Biologics (human tissue processing), Legacy of Life (human tissue donation) and Skeletal Regeneration (synthetic bone replacement).

How do I use the library's wireless Internet?
Bring your laptop with wireless Internet capability to the Main Library or any of the branch libraries and connect to the Internet. No passwords are required and all visitors are welcome to use this free service. If you cannot connect to the Internet, check out the following helpful guidelines.
What hardware do I need?
You will need a laptop computer with wireless capability that supports the WiFi standard (also known as IEEE 802.1 1a, b, or g).
What are the required settings?
Your laptop needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. Because each person's laptop is different, you are responsible for knowing how to configure your own equipment.
Where can I connect my laptop?
At the Main Library, the wireless signal is focused on the ground floor atrium just outside the community meeting room and the cafe, in the Children's Room, and in the Richardson building. The atrium signal is also strong on the first and second floors near the atrium, but the farther you move from the atrium, the weaker the signal will become.
Use of the wireless signal in the Children's Room is limited to adults accompanying young children. Wireless service in all other areas of the Main Library is open to all.
At the branch libraries, the wireless signal is generally available throughout the buildings, although signal strength varies depending on where you are sitting with your laptop. The signal does not reach into the Adams Shore meeting room.
Is there wireless access support?
Library staff cannot assist with setting up wireless Internet on your computer. You are responsible for setting up your own equipment.
Can I print from my laptop?
Printers are not available via the wireless connection. If you need to print, you may save your work to a flash drive (or email your work to yourself) and then use one of our public computers to print. Black & white printing is 15¢ per page ( all locations) and color printing is 40¢ per page (Main Library only).
General Information for All Systems
These are general guidelines and require that you understand how to configure and restore the settings of your own computer. It is best to try to use the Internet before attempting any of the changes suggested.
Wireless Card Settings
Use the software that came with your computer to configure the settings and to verify a connection to the library's wireless network.
- SSID (network name) =
- "Thomas Crane Public Library" (in the Main Library atrium)
- "Richardson Room" (Main Library)
- "Children's Room" (Main Library)
- "Adams Shore Library" (at the Adams Shore Branch)
- "North Quincy Library" (at the North Quincy Branch)
- "Wollaston Library" (at the Wollaston Branch)
- WEP = disable WEP encryption
- Mode or Network Type = Infrastructure mode or Access Point
Windows 2000 & XP
Network Settings:
- From Control Panel, select Network and Dial-up Connections or Network and Internet Connections > Internet Connections.
- Right-click on Wireless Network Connection or Local Area Connection and select Properties.
- Locate the Internet TCP/IP protocol and get into its Properties. If more than one TCP/IP protocol is listed, look for the one associated with your wireless adapter.
- Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.
- For XP, right-click on Wireless Network Connection and select View Available Wireless Networks. Select the name of the wireless network available at the library and click Connect.
Macintosh iBooks and PowerBooks
Network Settings (OS X.X):
- Select the AirPort icon (the icon that resembles a baseball diamond) in the Apple menu bar at the top right side of your screen.
- To turn AirPort on, select Turn AirPort On in the AirPort menu.
- Select Apple Menu > System Preferences > Internet and Network.
- Go to Location and select Automatic.
Disclaimer & Policies
We cannot guarantee your hardware will work with our wireless connection. The library is not responsible for any damage, loss of information, or loss of privacy that may occur, either directly or indirectly, to any personal equipment or data as a result of using the library's wireless Internet access.
Users of our wireless Internet service must comply with all other library policies, including but not limited to the Computer and Internet Use Policy [1] and the Appropriate Library Use Policy [2].
- Computers must be used quietly and with respect for the privacy of others.
- Users must refrain from viewing material that is inappropriate for a public area or that creates a hostile environment for other users or library staff, including pornographic or sexually explicit images. Display of material that may be deemed obscene and/or unlawful under federal or state law is not permitted.
- All audio must be disabled unless headphones are used; when headphones are used, volume must be low enough so that others cannot hear it.
- At the Main Library, food and unlidded drinks are restricted to the atrium.
- At the branch libraries, food, unlidded drinks, and cell phone use are not permitted.

I would post something.. but I suck! Haha.
But seriously, everything looks beautiful. I love it!
Was a quick paint gone too far..Will never be finished :c
Life has been...complicated lately, so I mostly have sketches, instead of finished or near finished pieces.
A quick remodel of a drake.
Some unfinished sketches for a dragon lifecycle chart.
I've always liked to imagine that WoW's drakes have mammalian, dinosaurian, and insectoid traits.
A concept for a large insectoid-like herbivore from South Argus.
Those horns need fixin'. :/
Just some more alien concepts, possibly from the different planets that the Draenei had visited.
The bottom one was actually the first I sketched, and you can tell. By the time I started on the tall, lean one, I kind of had an idea of what I was doing.
Mod warning: Link removed. It's not okay to link to nude pictures in any other context, and it's definitely not okay for you to do it either.

It's been a while since I posted since my computer died and the draenei is currently on it, but I got a new comp and changed the concept around a bit. I decided to make her an engineer instead since I rolled it in-game and absolutely love the gyro mount. So I started working on that while I recover stuff from the old comp. Work in progress as usual, I'm going through every detail and adding some where I see it fit. Also I have no idea how an engine works so I just made random stuff.
A commission I had done by a friend ((SephieStrife)) on Dev Art. My shaman prior to faction switching ^^
I love you forever and ever and then some times two
Beautiful draenei Angyles . A bit like a druid or is she herbalist.
@Brytryne, I'm looking that 3D belt buckle. For me it seems to be a bit too short to keep up on shaky machine, you need "holder" for the belt, like original has. ^_^
These are not exactly wow art, but I just found these extremely beautiful. (I would like yo make these smaller but I do not know how)
Both are from ChrisCold: http://chriscold.deviantart.com/
This is the beginnings of a comission my close friend is doing of my toons, aka a Paladin, Hunter with a lynx, a Priest ressing a fallen Warrior, and a Mage, dunno what theyll be fighting against, but its in Eversong Woods, or Island of Quel Denas since that has he same template.
I finished my rogue about a week or so ago.
i was not crying in the shower
i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye - Kylo Ren
I found some nice pictures with awesome hairstyles heres an example
Made by ~FoxTheImmortal (http://foxtheimmortal.deviantart.com/)
You know, ever since that rule with posting a link to the artist for each photo was put in, this thread actually decreased in pages. I remember it having 602... that's sad since I do like wow artwork but don't always have time to search and went looking here but now I barely see a pic once in a blue moon.
New piece im workin on, prolly gonna make it into a card like look
And on top of that, this thread has been through worse lulls. It's a cycle.
At the beginning of this thread most of the people were crediting. If people won't spend a second copying and pasting a link, that really shows a lack of respect to the artist. A few people here were also ambiguously taking credit for pieces that were not theirs.
Anyways, more of my stuff that I forgot to upload. Life has been busy lately.
Deviantart: http://hitsujifox.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0
Just a silly little colour/grayscale experiment in which Kieran (orc/worgen) was my guinea pig. The top left is the original.
A couple hour speedpaint of Atramedes.
A quick WIP sketch of a new character.
She's both a midwife and a wet-nurse, and in charge of all the Exodar's other midwives and wet-nurses.
She's a pretty shy gal, and doesn't always appreciate the attention her bosom brings.
Also, look ma! No hands!
I'll figure those out later.
(by the way, what looks like her vulva, is not. That's just her paunchy tummy.)
A really fast redesign of Velen. I was going to put his beard in, but decided against it. I just always felt that he has enough going on with the crest and long head hair, that he doesn't need a giant beard to go a long with it.
Texture from:kuschelirmel-stock
A nice little WIP of how I view the Red Dragonshrine, that I hope to finish in the next little while.
Just so you have an idea of scale, those trees in the foreground are about 50-80ft. tall.
Just some quick (and slightly crappy) examples of Northerner Draenei horns and crests.
(For those that don't know, I've been filling in the gaps Blizz has left in the Draenei lore, for fun. I've split the Draenei into two racial groups; Northerners and Southerners.)
An actual speed paint this time, instead of crappy sketches!
My tail-bone injury is finally starting to heal up, so I was able to sit for a much longer time today and actually paint. I feel much happier today.
This is more in line with how I would like them panda ladies to look. Not perfect, but almost there.
Here is a new one of my druid shapeshifting into fire kitty!

I haven't been posting stuff because I've just been busy with other commissions. BlizzCon was overwhelming, and it's looking better and better that Blizzard may be hiring my husband soon, so we've been kinda packing to move to California.
I'll post art soon... ish, but a lot of people have been posting stuff that hasn't anything to do with WoW, or even posting OFFICIAL WoW stuff. 600+ pages, people seem to lose sight over why this forum post was made to begin with.
That, and others pitching a fit over linking your sources. Sure, I would like it if people had done it, but it only bothered me when others were taking credit for art they didn't do. I didn't think it should have warranted such a s@*! storm.

Wow, long time since I wrote anything here. Well ofcourse a lot af stuff happened since.
I am currently very busy with school and mostly very tired when I get home :(. I am currently contribute a bit to GnomeMeeting and Rhythmbox, but I really hope my contributions will increate in the future.
Intltool seems to work very well these days, but it still lacks good documentation. It also has some bugs which are pretty hard to fix for me :/
Anyway, it seems my next project will be to finish adding audio-cd playback to Rhythmbox - the view is still missing.

Home users often do not maintain adequate security protection on their PCs, which makes them easy, lucrative targets for hackers and other cyber-criminals. There are several security concerns that Internet users need to be aware of, all of which can be avoided by installing up-to-date Internet security software.
By accessing the Internet from an unsecured PC, an Internet user is exposed to spam, viruses, spyware, adware, Trojans, and dialers, and is therefore exposed to serious issues such as identity theft and the loss of valuable PC data including photos, movies, music, resumes, family information, and other irreplaceable documents.
Consumers should avoid sending personal identifiable information over the Internet, downloading unexpected files from friends and family, falling victim to phishing scams, or leaving a wireless network unsecured in order to avoid these problems.
The best way to protect your PC and identity is to use up-to-date security software. McAfee® Internet Security, for example, provides comprehensive, multi-layered PC security against inbound and outbound Internet threats.

double star makes a very good AR-15. i haven't owned one cause i roll my own mostly but i have used plenty of DS parts in some of my builds.
to the OP
if you want an easy to clean ar-15 i would say try to get the chrome lined barrel. a one in 7 twist would be nice but a 1 in nine might be more practical and less expensive.
and get some good mags --- i like the P-mag or government contract GI mags made by D&H or C-products for 5.56/223
are you buying an AR or building?

did you get a response ?
Sent this to Fox News:
I was very angered and disappointed to see the hosts on 'Fox and Friends' this morning call for registation of assault weapons and a new assault weapons ban as the answer to mass shootings in schools. They also said the Vice President of the NRA, Wayne La Pierre, was a hypocrite for calling for armed policemen to be stationed in our nation's schools to protect the students. Bill O'Reilly has also called for registration of assault weapons with the FBI on his show 'The Factor'. I could not disagree more with the hosts' of 'Fox and Friends' and Bill O'Reilly's comments.
These type of comments are to be expected from Democrat propaganda networks like MSNBC, CNN and NPR. Since you have decided to join them and become a shill for gun control and the Democrat Party, I must regretfully cease to be a viewer of you network.
Tom McGinley
did you get a response ?
I have not once turned on the news since the day after the elections. I feel better for it. My poor old heart just cannot bear the strain of those idiots. And I used to have Fox on all day.
Out of the 300 channels on DISH, why can't there be even ONE conservative news or weather outlet?
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
The problem is we have the media now making hard decisions for us.
I thought the news media was supposed to report the news? Maybe it's just us in the wrong. Thank you news media for having an opinion for everyone else.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
The manufacture of consent.
It is and always has been the same crap being fed to you from a different spoon.
It is and always has been mass mind control. No different than 'pay your fair share ' or 'Ron Paul can't beat Obama'. Well in hindsight, fair share ain't in the Constitution and maybe Paul could have won, oromney sure as hell didn't. So here we are in line at the plumbing supply house.
Americans reality was created for them by a handful of intellectual prostitutes controlled by global corporate interests.
Never had an answer to any emails I have sent to Fox.
Neither have I, even when I emailed Glen Beck about a story he did about the VA.
I did however receive a response from a Dallas news station that did a story about how the Dallas VA hospital is being run. I saw the story and sent them mine, how a doctor at the VA told me "you're white, you've got a job, go somewhere else!".

Driver in Bend PD car rear-end crash re-arrested
Back in jail second time in day, on probation violation
BEND, Ore. - A Bend woman has been arrested on DUII and other charges, accused of rear-ending a Bend police patrol car finishing a traffic stop along the Bend Parkway late Tuesday night, Oregon State Police said. The officer in the car was treated for minor injuries, troopers added.
Around 11:20 p.m., Officer Justin Lovrien, a 10-year veteran of the Bend Police Department, had just concluded a traffic stop along the northbound lanes of the parkway by the Empire Avenue exit, troopers said.
Lovrien was sitting in his patrol car when it was struck from behind by a 1999 Toyota Corolla driven by Tina Rae Taylor, 35, of Bend, OSP reported.
Lovrien was taken by ambulance to St. Charles-Bend, where he was treated for minor injuries and released, troopers said.
Taylor, who was not hurt in the crash, was arrested after the OSP's on-scene investigation and lodged in the Deschutes County Jail on charges of DUII, third-degree assault and reckless driving.
Taylor was released from jail late Wednesday morning -- but was booked back into the jail about six hours later , newly held on a probation violation for earlier charges of fourth-degree assault, recklessly endangering and methamphetamine possession.
Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Bilyeu said it apparently means the crash and arrest on a DUII charge led to a new bench warrant, signed Wednesday, and charged with violating terms of her probation.
Lovrien had radioed to dispatch, saying he had been rear-ended at a high rate of speed and needed assistance.
The northbound lanes of highway were closed for a time and traffic was diverted onto the Empire Avenue exit and back onto the highway.

Like to watch old movies (classics), go out for nice dinners. Bit of a old spirit, I think it's cause my grandpa had an influence on me while I was growing i.e always playing his old records. As a result I'm a gentleman and believe a man should do what he can to keep his other half happy.
I'm pretty driven I work hard but as a libra I try to keep things balanced and in perspective meaning that I would make time for the things that are important to me.
I hope to find someone with the same similarities in the sense that they don't mind watching movies one minute or going to work out the next or travel somewhere when the opportunity arises.
I'm a bit of a contrast in the sense that I do take pride in my appearance but because I had bit of a farm life growing up I don't mind getting dirty or working with my hands.

Natural Gas Spot Price Outlook
Sources: History: Natural Gas Week;
Projections: Short-Term Energy Outlook, December 2000.
Previous slide
Back to first slide
View graphic version
Despite signs that domestic natural gas production has begun to turn around (the Texas Railroad Commission now reports year-to-date (through Sep.) gains in Texas gas production of 1.2 percent, compared to a 4.7-percent decline for the same months in 1999 versus 1998) the reality of the U.S. gas market is that supply responses have been too little, too late to prevent record-high spot prices and prospects for very high average prices this winter.
We now expect to see peak monthly spot wellhead prices this winter of over $6.00 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) (December). Last month we maintained confidence that conditions would improve enough to keep the $5.10 per mcf recorded in October as the peak for this heating season. With partial data available, a monthly average value of about $5.60 per mcf looks likely for November. Recently, concern about cold weather and low stocks pushed spot gas prices near $8 per mcf, indicating the extraordinary volatility in the current U.S. market.
The gas storage situation in the United States has not improved over the last few months, a sign that demand remains strong. At best we believe that the domestic system will enter the winter with storage at minimal levels, and that records for storage lows may be challenged throughout the heating season.

From Ray Homesley's book "Benjamin Homesley and His Descendants" are found Benjamin Homesley's children and Joseph Homesley's children.
Both of these Homesley families lived in Lincoln County, North Carolina.
To whom was Elias Homesley born? We know he was born about 1796 in North Carolina, and that he married Olliss who was born in Kentucky.
Elias Homesley moved to the Pickwick Lake area prior to 1830 as he is listed on the census in Hardin County, Tennessee in 1830.
Children of Benjamin Homesley and Jemima Self: Joseph, Stephen, Doshia, Jean and Ana
Children of Joseph Homesley and Mary Smith: Garnet, John, Burrell, Patcy, Sarah, Polly and Chaney
Both of these Homesley families lived in Lincoln County, North Carolina.
To whom was Elias Homesley born? We know he was born about 1796 in North Carolina, and that he married Olliss who was born in Kentucky.
- Joseph (Benjamin's son) married Barbary Fulks about 1805. On the 1810 census, Joseph and Barbary had three sons under 10 years of age. This rules out Joseph and Barbary as Elias' parents as Elias would have been about 14 in 1810.
- Stephen Homesley (Benjamin's son) married Esther Roberts in 1809. This rules out Stephen and Esther as Elias' parents.
- Burrell Homesley (Joseph's son) apparently never married nor had any children.
- John Homesley (Joseph's son) married Mary Jane James around 1795 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. John's sons James and Burrell were born in Kentucky about 1805 and 1807 respectively, but by 1811 John's family was in Missouri as John's daughter was born there in 1811. Between 1805 and 1811, when John was in Kentucky, Elias would have been 9 to 15 years of age; not of age to marry Olliss of Kentucky.
- Garnet Homesley married Elizabeth Huffstetler, about 1795 in North Carolina. (Garnet started going by the last name "Holmes" between 1820 and 1830).
- In 1810, Garnet Homsley is listed on the Warren County, Kentucky census with two males under 10, and one male 10 thru 15. This male between 10 and 15 is believed to be Elias Homesley.
Garnet lived in Kentucky from about 1810 to around 1816/early 1817, as he bought land back in North Carolina in late 1817. Elias must have stayed back in Kentucky, marrying Olliss when he was about twenty in 1816, and retaining the spelling of his last name of "Homesley" prior to Garnet going by "Holmes" starting in the 1820's.
Garnet's younger two sons were Lawson and James, both of whom took up the "Holmes" name by 1830.
It is interesting to note here that Garnet's son James Holmes named three of his sons Lawson, James and Elias. Also, Henry Huffstetler (Huffstickler in later years), brother of Elizabeth Huffstetler, named three of his sons Lawson, James and Elias.

People learn more about their finances through making decisions rather than through pure financial education, research from AUT University shows.
Bart Frijn, director of the Auckland Centre for Financial Research at the university, said a survey of undergraduate students found they became financially literate through experiences such as having a student loan or signing up to KiwiSaver.
"At the point where we have to make a decision, because we are faced with it, it creates a learning moment."
Frijn said the result was surprising as it was typically assumed that people made better financial decisions after they had been taught about financial literacy.
He said the findings meant young people needed to have greater exposure to financial decision making.
"When you try to educate people do it at the moment where they have to make a decision."
Once people had signed up that learning moment passed, he said.
Frijn said the study had implications for those that were automatically enrolled into KiwiSaver and did not have to make a decision on which scheme they went into or which fund.
"You are not really asking them to make a decision - it doesn't create a learning moment."
The study is one of a number being undertaken by the university.
The centre is also hosting a capital markets symposium on May 31 where it will bring together academics and capital market players to talk about research being undertaken and what more could be done in the future.

Ho Lee Fuk? Give KTVU a break
Original post made by Gina Channell-Allen, Danville, on Jul 15, 2013
Everyone is asking how such an epic failure could happen. How did the news anchor, Tori Campbell, not know the names were made up?
Being in journalism for more than 25 years, and watching how the Internet has changed the way news is reported, I can see how it would happen. All media organizations are racing to be first with breaking news. I would bet money the reporter who wrote the script got the information - or confirmation of the information from a National Transportation Safety Board summer intern - shortly before the newscast. So, being in a rush, the KTVU reporter failed to check the credentials of the source.
Then, even if the reporter included phonetic spellings of the names, which would have done in a hurry, it was "cold copy," meaning the anchor didn't have time to read the script before the newscast.
And anyone who has ever read from a teleprompter knows it is difficult to focus on how to say what is scrolling rapidly on the screen and comprehend what the words say at the same time. That's why phonetic spellings are often provided.
This is all speculation on my part. I don't know exactly what happened, but I can absolutely see how it happened. In the day and age of "get it out first," the media - print and broadcast is setting the stage for failures to occur.
Let's use this as a reminder to slow down and check our information, whether it's from a person or (especially) a website.
And give Campbell and KTVU a break. We've all made mistakes, just not ones so public - with video that can be replayed over and over (for a majority of us anyway). "There but for the grace of God" go we.

The confirming source was the NTSB, but who/where was the originator? KTVU checked with the NTSB, it is true, but where did the original list of names come from? This question has never been addressed or answered.
My guess is that it originated within the KTVU organization. How about a follow-up, KTVU or do you want us to ignore the ORIGIN of your embarrassment?

I'm afraid I have to go all-counterpoint on this one.
First, I'll agree that it was unintentional -- an accident. But that doesn't mean it wasn't negligent -- it was. The world is full of incidents that happened because somebody's behavior fell below the standard of "reasonableness." Even if we ignore the blindingly obvious phonetics, it's also true that the actual pilots' names had already been released -- at least two days prior to last Friday! It didn't need confirmation from an unpaid intern, elsewhere -- all it needed was any KTVU staffer with a pulse, paying the slightest bit of attention. And somebody else must've produced the graphic -- again, an easy opportunity to have avoided the gaffe.
Second, if we're looking for first causes, chalk another one up to greed. It's greed that drives the over-reporting, the headlong dash to be first (even when you're not), and the leaving of editorial decisions to un/underpaid staff. If you weaken the structure, without providing any cross-bracing, sooner-or-later it will fail -- sometimes embarrassingly.
That's not to say that it isn't hard to do a good job -- harder than it used to be. But I would resist the conclusion that it's therefore forgivable when the inevitable consequences are suffered. It's a management problem to maintain quality in difficult times. Negligent mismanagement is what happened here.
I think it's also interesting that that this happened on Friday. I used to drive 200 miles early on Monday mornings to go to work, coming home on Friday evenings -- all in the era of CB radios. Mondays were always quiet, but Friday afternoons were full of mischief. The hilarity on the web in this affair was due, in part, to that timing -- the humor, more sophomoric than offensive in my view, was perfect for the impending weekend. If your tastes run in that direction, check-out the sfgate thread on the incident -- it'll have you giggling like a schoolchild. You might want to wait 'til Friday.
But alas, in this era of over-lawyering, Asiana has announced that it will sue the station for defamation. There really is something wrong with that tactic, in the context of a tragedy caused by the airline's pilots flying, well, way too low.
BTW, here's a newsflash: Asiana will be represented by the estimable law firm of Dewey Cheatham & Howe, ably assisted by Dilly, Dally, Doolittle & Stahl, as well as Petty Phogg & Chern.

The first line on a Faux Nuus employment application asks your IQ. If the number is above 86, better try elsewhere.
So ask yourself a question Gina: How likely is it this could have happened on PBS's News Hour?

Update: four producers have been fired over this incident, according to station HR chief Hugo Paknow.

The University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction today announced the successful accreditation of their partnership program by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
The partnership program allows students to earn a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from CU-Boulder by taking classes delivered at CMU. The program offers the first-ever baccalaureate engineering degree on Colorado's Western Slope.
The program was launched in 2008 and awarded degrees to its first graduates in May 2012. ABET, the accrediting agency for engineering, requires graduates from a program before it can apply for accreditation. The awarding of ABET accreditation now is retroactive to include the degrees granted to the 2012 and 2013 graduating classes.
Twenty-two students have graduated from the partnership program in the last two years, and most of them found positions in the engineering field immediately upon graduation, according to Program Director Timothy Brower. Many of the program's graduates are working with energy companies on the Western Slope.
Another 30 students are currently enrolled in the program as juniors or seniors and are in position to graduate in the next two years.
"We started the partnership five years ago with the support of President Tim Foster of CMU and then-President Hank Brown of CU, and we are delighted that it has achieved great success in not only graduating outstanding students but also now receiving full accreditation at its first opportunity," said Robert Davis, dean of CU-Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science.
"We are pleased that the program has the seal of approval from ABET and are even happier that our students have access to a mechanical engineering degree without leaving the Western Slope, thanks to the partnership we have with CU," said CMU President Tim Foster.
The innovative partnership allows western Colorado students access to a world-class education they may not otherwise have been able to receive by offering the entire four-year engineering degree program in Grand Junction. Students enrolled in the program receive CMU instruction and classes their first two years, followed by CU-Boulder coursework taught by CU faculty for their final two years.
CU-Boulder enrolls more than 3,300 undergraduate students and 1,600 graduate students in engineering and applied science disciplines. In addition to the CU-CMU Partnership Program, CU-Boulder has nine other degree programs accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET and one degree program accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET.
A comprehensive university located in the center of western Colorado, CMU provides exceptional educational opportunities on a state-of-the-art campus. As western Colorado's largest university, Colorado Mesa serves about 10,000 students on its main campus in Grand Junction, its satellite campus in Montrose, its community college, Western Colorado Community College, and via online offerings.

"There is winning and there is Misery"
Again! Lack of communication on offense kills even when penalties are minimal. Still there would have been light at the end of the tunnel if Dez did what he's being overpaid to do. Dez, you need to cowboy up or get the frack outta Dodge. I think the latter is your only option.
I liked the way Bryant played last night.
How does it feel now that your team got DESTROYED on MNF on their home turf in front of the whole nation... (14-12 in your new Stadium and Eli coming their next lol) Your one of the lowest scoring teams in the NFL and the lowest in the NFC. Eli through 1 pick (a bad one at that that prob cost us the game) but your QB matched his all time high (which was also set on MNF against the Bills) of 5 INTs. with 2 PICK SIXs....
Listen to the press.... Dallas looks horrible. looked bad in the seattle loss and almost worse in the 16-10 win over TB. Face it. Your SB was beating us in the opening game. Like has been said the window is closing on alot of your players to win a SB. I think it may have closed a bit further last night..
Thats all
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I'll come talk smack where I feel like it, when I feel like it. And you'll like it.
Your opinion, like your wall of text is irrelevant. Giants and Cowboys both have their problems and share of injured starters.
This terds game makes me feel better about our loss.
Yes, we have our share of problems. However, we have been a relevant team the past decade, to include two superbowls. Dallas has not, and Tony Romo and Eli aren't in the same class. I don't think Eli has ever thrown 5 picks. Tony Romo pads his stats against irrelevant teams, but doesn't show up for big games. His improv way of play ain't getting it done, and his receivers are inconsistent prima donnas. I was on a Cowboys forum yesterday and there was like a 20 page topic comparing Eli to this assclown, Eli is Elite and Romo is in the freaking second-tier shouldn't even be a discussion.

It was sort of marching band tune, did not have real lyrics, just Doodle-oo doo, Doo, doo, doo, doo doo, Doodle-oo-doo Doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo etc. and these eventually were changed to daddle-aah-dah dah, dah, dah, dah, dah etc, Can someone please tell me what the name of this song, where it comes from (e.g. Broadway? a movie? just a record?) and who performed it?

Lithium Synergy™ combines lithium orotate' known for its ability to help stabilize mood swings related to depression and other mood disorders' with vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and trimethylglycine to support healthy methylation pathways.
How does lithium orotate work?
Mood disorders are often due to inositol depletion. Lithium recycles and synthesizes inositol by inhibiting IMPase enzyme. The phosphoinositol signaling pathway is involved in cell membrane signaling cascades. When salts of lithium are ingested' the lithium ions interact with several neurotransmitters and receptors in the central nervous system resulting in decreased norepinephrine release and increased serotonin synthesis.
Why add vitamin B12 and TMG (trimethylglycine)?
Vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin and trimethylglycine both can donate methyl groups to improve methylation' often a weakness in patients with depression and other disorders.
Observational studies have found as many as 30% of patients hospitalized for depression are deficient in vitamin B12. The reasons for the relationship between vitamin B12 deficiency and depression may involve s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). Vitamin B12 is required for the synthesis of SAMe' a methyl group donor essential for methylation reactions and subsequently the metabolism of neurotransmitters. SAMe deficiency has been related to depression. This hypothesis is supported by several studies that have shown supplementation with SAMe improves depressive symptoms.

Grant Hedrick gets chance to take over Bronco offense
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Grant Hedrick has spent years playing the role of backup and situational quarterback, taking the occasional snap from the wildcat formation just to keep opposing defenses guessing.
Life is about to change for the redshirt junior, and with it the expectations that come with holding the keys to Boise State's high-scoring offense.
Hedrick got his first taste of the starring role last Saturday, taking over for Joe Southwick, who broke his right ankle on the first offensive play of the game. After a slow start, Hedrick got the offense rolling in the second half, completing 18 of 21 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 115 yards and two scores in leading the Broncos (5-2, 3-1 Mountain West Conference) to a 34-17 comeback victory over Nevada.
Southwick was undergoing surgery Monday and is expected to miss at least five weeks, leaving Hedrick in charge of an offense averaging 39.9 points per game heading into Friday's matchup with BYU and a defense that could be the toughest Boise State has faced so far.
"There is no substitute for experience," coach Chris Petersen said of Southwick, a senior who compiled a 16-4 record as a starter. "But Grant's been doing a great job of preparing for a long time. And he answered the bell with flying colors.
"That's not an easy situation to be thrown in there. But he's been here a long time and he understands what we're doing, and he'll do just fine," Petersen said.
Hedrick is also likely to cause some defensive coordinators to work overtime preparing for a different quarterback skill set.
Compared to Southwick, Hedrick is a much better runner. He's fast, quick and can make tacklers miss. Last week, he scrambled out of the pocket for 49 yards to help set up the Broncos' first touchdown.
In the second half, he helped put the game away with rushing TDs of 20 and 14 yards. His 115 yards rushing made him the first Boise State quarterback to eclipse 100 yards since 2004.
While Petersen played down any significant changes in the playbook tailored to Hedrick's threat as a runner, opposing defenses could see a bigger diet of read-option schemes and a quicker exit from the pocket on passing plays. Teammates say Hedrick's speed and elusiveness add another dimension to an offense that has put up at least 34 points in the last six games and rushed for 407 yards overall against Nevada.
"Joe is a good runner, but Grant is on a whole different level," said Matt Miller, the team's second-leading receiver and one of Hedrick's roommates. "I think we're just as dangerous with him as we are with Joe."
Before Saturday's game, Hedrick played in spot roles. When offensive coordinator Robert Prince sought to keep the defense off balance, he'd bring in Hedrick for a play or two each quarter.
But Hedrick has also proved a capable passer. So far this season, he is 30 of 37 for 264 yards and a passer rating of 144.5 and one interception. Earlier in the season, he entered the game in the second quarter against Fresno State and confidently zipped an 18-yard touchdown pass to Troy Ware streaking wide open through the middle of the defense.
"He's got one of the best work ethics on the team and his film preparation is one of the tops," Miller said. "He's been waiting there in the shadow for four years, and when he had the opportunity ... to have that whole game to himself, he really played well."
