|CFDA Number:
|84.268 - Federal Direct Student Loans
|Program Goal: To help ensure access to high-quality postsecondary education by providing financial aid in the form of work-study in an efficient, financially sound and customer-responsive manner.
|Objective 1 of 1: Ensure that persistence rates will increase for low- and middle-income students.
|Indicator 1.1 of 1: Student persistence.
Source: IPEDS
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: June 2008
Explanation: The FY 2007 target is to establish a baseline. Providing program-specific data for this program will become feasible when individual student enrollment information is collected. The collection of student data at the individual unit record level will provide the information needed to calculate retention and completion rates for the individual FSA programs. OPE management has been actively involved in the technical review panel for the IPEDS Student Unit Record Feasibility Study. The study is being conducted to review the feasibility of redesigning the IPEDS collection of student-related data to incorporate individual student unit records. Although it is premature to anticipate when, and if, unit record data will become available, 2008 would likely be the earliest possible date for reporting since field testing is anticipated in FY 2006 and implementation would probably not occur until FY 2007. Given that the unit record project study outcome is not yet known, OPE also is exploring the feasibility of obtaining program data on persistence and completion by drawing an alternative sample from the merged applicant/recipient file and conducting a survey of this group.

I am looking to buy a branding iron.
I am looking at one from Brand New that is a portable propane torch with an iron with my last name in one inch high letters.
The quote is just over three hundred dollars.
I would like to stay with a portable propane type branding iron, but is this too much? Perhaps someone out there might know of a manufacturer that is a bit less expensive?
Thanks, Bill

When an employee takes a dump once per his or her shift. Generally taking place around the same timeframe each shift. In most situations a shiftly shit is strategically planned during undesirable work situations. Such situations include eluding a meeting or to get away from undesirable fellow employees.
It was 2:30 and Jane knew bastard boss Tom would be stopping by work at any moment. Wanting to escape any possible conversation with Tom the boss, Jane planned her shiftly shit for the day.

With warmer weather come outdoor excursions, and one of the greatest things about such adventures—apart from the majestic beauty of the wilderness and what-have-you—is the food. Whether your outdoors-y side takes the shape of car camping or backpacking treks, food tastes better after you've spent the day scampering through greenery, when you can scarf down multiple servings and call it 'fuel.'
Of course, car campers have the ability to lug unwieldy Dutch ovens, grills, and coolers full of steak and beer; you're just a crackling campfire away from a feast (and here are 20 recipes to prove it). Even if Smokey the Bear limits you to a camp stove, you can make many things ahead of time and keep them cold until you're ready to reheat. (You can also bring a smorgasbord of fancy cheeses and call it a night, but if you wanted to do that, you would've stayed in the city.)
Options are more limited if you ditch your car at the trailhead—when you carry your life on your back, foodstuffs vie for valuable backpack real estate. Food must be filling, quick to make, and somewhat shelf-stable; it should also be lightweight but durable. In my own backpacking experience, gourmet innovations are often just bizarre food combinations: instant oatmeal sweetened with Jell-O powder; ramen noodles with peanut butter and soy sauce; a sandwich of peanut butter, cheddar, honey, sriracha, and crackers. This is how you prove yourself as a rugged denizen of the backcountry and not a lily-livered city mouse. (For the record, I didn't eat the oatmeal.)
No matter how extreme your planned excursions are, here are some tips for stocking the backpack pantry you never knew you had and making your outdoor meals even better. Think of it as the outdoors(wo)man's food pyramid. Just watch out for bears.
Think of those ingredients you always seem to reach for: they're pantry stalwarts for a reason, and even on a long-distance hike, some of them can find a home in your pack. Start with good oil, which you'll use for just about everything, and choose your hot sauce wisely. (You can also bring salted butter if it's packed in a durable container.) Tiny ziplocs of dried herbs and spices—I cannot hike without cumin or cinnamon; herbs de Provence, coriander, and bay leaves are also nice—have the most versatility for virtually no pack space. Miso paste could be the savior to your instant ramen, likewise Dijon mustard for your foil-wrapped dinners and pita-wrapped lunches. Think, too, about jolts of flavor like capers, anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, and oil-packed tuna: if it's a standby at home for ramping up salads and pastas, it can likely follow you into the woods.
It's said that bread is the staff of life, but let's broaden that category to include almost all carbs, since they neatly check all the boxes required of good camp food. There's pasta and couscous, sure, but don't stop there; change up your grains game with amaranth or freekeh, or use the time you're saving away from the Internet to make farro, polenta, or steel-cut oats (fold in vegetables, nuts, and dried fruit, or just top with a drift of shaved Parmesan).
As trail-ready breads go, pita and tortillas are the most obvious. If you're not worried about saving space, though, bring your favorite sturdy loaf and grill it for crostini when it starts to get stale. Bannock, or campfire bread, is arguably the most badass of all backcountry breads; if you pack the dry ingredients together in a ziploc and have access to a campfire (and a thinnish branch around which to wrap the dough), it can be yours. (You can also just fry it in a pan, for fewer badass points.) But even with no campfire, so long as you have a skillet, a flame, and a little agility, try your hand at skillet pizza, skillet flatbread, or even skillet cornbread (ideally with bacon and fire-roasted jalapeños) if you're brave enough to flip it halfway.
Think beyond the beans and lentils. Know what else doesn't need to be refrigerated? Cured meats and hard cheeses. Nothing's stopping you from assembling a deep-woods charcuterie board (remember that crusty bread and fancy mustard you packed, you sly fox?). Cheeses like Parmesan work best, but even cheddar or Gouda will keep if they're kept out of the heat. Don't skimp, either; cheese, given the opportunity, will make just about every camping meal better. As for beans, those old friends, they're classic for a reason, but wouldn't that austere pot of cannellinis be better with a sprig of thyme? Leaving no trace just got a lot easier.
You already know onions, carrots, and potatoes travel well, but so do their sturdy friends beets, cabbage, and corn. Citrus does, too, whether you're eating it or squeezing it into a vinaigrette. Many others are fair game if they're packed well and it's not too hot: think mushrooms, squash, or artichokes. While you could prep your vegetables the way you're used to doing at home, they've been waiting all year for you to wrap them in foil and throw them in a fire. (If you're feeling fancy, drizzle in some white wine and lemon before you do.) And apples make good snacks, yes, but they're just as good sautéed with cinnamon and honey (you can hardly tell if they're bruised) or toasted marshmallow-style.
Desserts and Snacks
If you have a DIY streak, let it shine with homemade marshmallows, graham crackers, and granola. Pancakes can be mixed in a freezer bag and squeezed into a skillet, as can brownie batter (it is scrambled, and it is heaven). Make these banana boats, not by grilling but by wrapping them in foil and roasting in your campfire's embers.

Ha. And I thought it was going to be hard.
I won't lie: KDE is really complex. Waiting for it to compile would be boring if I had nothing else to do. But it was not really hard.
Resume: First thing I did was to clean my spare 3gig partition that I use to compile big things. Then I mounted it in /opt. Unpackaged qt there, compiled, ready; I can run designer even before the compile finished. Noticed that I had compiled it with the stock g++ of Debian testing.
Installed cvsup. Configured as indicated on the howto. arts didn't download at all. I was using KDE_3_1_1_RELEASE or something like that as tag. arts doesn't exist that way. Downloaded apart, using ARTS_1_1_BRANCH. Lost patience. Downloaded again kde-common, kdebase, kdelibs with KDE_3_1_BRANCH tag.
Recompiled qt after doing an 'alias g++=g++-3.2". It works, I can't say anything about secondary effects. Meanwhile, KDE refuses to preconfigure with 'make -f Makefile.cvs'. Resolved after linking ../kde-common/admin, just as says the howto.
Some hours later everything is compiled. Hacking together a .xsession finally KDE3 runs fine. But not without scaring me a couple times (that mean thing :)). To make it finally work, the .xsession ended like that:
export KDEDIR=/opt
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3
Probably one of this days I'll use HEAD tags...
Edit: added br tags

New Details In The Officer Involved in Chico Shooting
CHICO, Calif. - District Attorney Mike Ramsey shared all the details about the officer-involved shooting that happened last Tuesday.
Ramsey says Wayne Renner had what he would call "mood swings" for many years. Three weeks before Renner's death he was in a mood that would make him start talking to people who weren't there and make him think he was in combat.
Ramsey says Renner barricaded himself with a handful of guns shooting 33 rounds at all angles from inside the house. The bullets went inside of a 10-year-old boy's bedroom on White Avenue. Renner also fired shots through next-door neighbor's wall. The bullets landed in a 3-year-old girl's room.
Police also say they heard Renner inside screaming, "I'm going to kill you!"
Ramsey says the police did an excellent by keeping everyone safe.
"The brave actions of the Chico SWAT and all members of the Chico Police Department that were out there and doing an extraordinary professional job," says Ramsey. "The "what if's" are horrifying."
Renner had no criminal history two weeks before his death. He was arrested twice the week before his death for being involved in two high-speed chases with guns in the car.
The four officers that shot Renner went through a psychological evaluation after the standoff.
Three of those officers returned to work today and other officer will go back to work when he scheduled.

Ok I was going to post another mock after the combine but before free agency started. But I decided to wait to see what may or may not happen in the initial wave or 2 of free agency. I was stumped a few times, so I created 2 mocks, I will post the 2nd mock in a separate thread.
So here goes---all constructive criticism is welcome. I based my picks on several football sites, some vids and analysts blogs etc.
1. Sheldon Richardson DT--Missouri
2. Kyle Long G/T--Oregon
3. Jonathan Bostic LB--Florida
4. Dwayne Gratz CB--UConn
5. Michael Buchanan DE--Illinois
6. Rodney Smith WRFlorida St
7a. Zac Stacy RB--Vanderbilt
7b. Rogers Gaines OTTennessee St
The only pick the same as my initial mock before the combine is Zac Stacy. Though we don't necessarily need a WR, if Smith is there in the 6th rd when we pick, he can be the Giants next "tall" WR project---low risk pick there. And Rogers Gaines is a local kid down here in the Nashville area. He might develop into a decent back up, maybe makes the PS.
FIRE away fellow fans!

New Windows Chief Talks Sinofsky, Windows 8, Surface

Julie Larson-Green is working to fill Sinofsky's shoes
When Microsoft's Windows Chief Steven
Sinofsky hit the road
last month, Julie Larson-Green stepped in as the new sheriff in town (as far as Windows 8 goes, anyway). Larson-Green didn't inherit an easy role, so it's fair to ask: Can she fill Sinofsky's shoes?
Larson-Green, who has worked for Microsoft for 20 years and led the introduction of huge ideas like the ribbon interface for Microsoft Office, recently interviewed with Tom Simonite at
MIT Technology Review
in an attempt to offer insight on what it's like to grab hold of Windows' biggest redesign and attempt to bring everyone on board with the new look and feel.
According to Larson-Green, so far, so good. While Sinofsky was a strong force in the Windows environment with a brilliant mind and explosive personality, Larson-Green insists that "not much" has changed since she took over his position.
"I've worked directly with Steven for seven years but known him for the whole 20 years I've been at Microsoft," said Larson-Green. "We think a lot the same about what the role of Windows is in society, what computing looks like, and getting people on board with that point of view."
Getting everyone on board hasn't been easy. Windows has had a solid user interface design since Windows 95, which was the start of a more object oriented interface. Users had become accustomed to this for nearly two decades, and
Windows 8 flipped that entire concept
on its head.
Julie Larson-Green [Image Source: Microsoft]
Windows 8 features what was once called the Metro style user interface, with colorful live tiles and a repositioned Start button. The new design was mainly for touch purposes in mobile products like Microsoft's Surface and Windows Phone 8, but some have had a hard time digesting this new look for desktop use. So why the radical change?
"When Windows was first created 25 years ago, the assumptions about the world and what computing could do and how people were going to use it were completely different," said Latson-Green. "It was at a desk, with a monitor. Before Windows 8 the goal was to launch into a window, and then you put that window away and you got another one. But with Windows 8, all the different things that you might want to do are there at a glance with the Live Tiles. "
She added the importance of touch on desktops as well as mobile devices to enhance the experience of using Windows 8, while still giving users the option to have a keyboard and mouse. She said it takes people anywhere from two days to two weeks to get adjusted to all the changes in Windows 8, depending on how invested they were in the traditional versions.
This brings us to the Surface tablet, which is Microsoft's first homemade hardware running Windows. Larson-Green addressed the new product briefly (nothing about sales numbers or demand, which have been in speculation lately).
"It was a way to test our hypothesis of a new way of working," said Larson-Green. "It takes time for individuals to adjust, but it also takes time for the industry to adjust to new things—all the complicated things about the supply chain and issues like what sizes of glass gets cut. Surface is our vision of what a stage for Windows 8 should look like, to help show consumers and the industry our point of view on what near perfect hardware would look like."
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
last month after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but details about the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even
backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.

Week 11 is one of only 2 Sundays all year in which the Dolphins will not have a game. For many of you that means there's a little extra time to watch your fantasy team in action. For a preview of Week 11, the final week of the NFL season with a bye week, we turn to our fantasy guru, James Morris.
Week 11 "Start 'Em & Sit 'Em" by James Morris
Week 11 of the NFL season has more than a few fantasy starters on their bye (Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, Marshawn Lynch and Chris Johnson to name a few), and that means depth and the waiver wire is all the more important as you try and win enough games to make a run at the playoffs. The problem with the waiver wire is that it is most likely picked clean at this point, and what is left is there for a reason. So, make smart trades, don't get cute trying to start a possible sleeper over a moderately proven talent, and don't think you are going to find something on the waiver wire that 11 other blood suckers missed all week long. Second place is just the first loser, so let's get into some start and sit advice so you can be a leader and not a follower!
Start 'em
Carson Palmer – QB Raiders: There are few things better for a fantasy QB than playing the Saints atrocious pass defense. Palmer is underrated as a fantasy QB, ranking out 10th in the NFL heading into this week with 172 fantasy points in NFL.com leagues. The Saints give up 26.4 FP per-game this season, which would make Palmer a high-end QB1 this week if that holds true.
Andy Dalton – QB Bengals: Dalton doesn't get as much respect outside of Cincinnati as he deserves, which is odd because his 18 passing TDs rank #7 in the NFL this season. The Chiefs give up 20.2 PPG to QBs (20th in NFL) and Dalton has the ability to put up big numbers with A.J. Green and crew catching the ball.
Stevan Ridley – RB Patriots: I truly do think this is the week we see the Patriots and Tom Brady put it all together and start gearing up for the NFL playoffs. That means the Patriots should get out to a lead and let the run take over and run the clock out. That is great news for Ridley and I fully expect RB1 numbers from the up-and-down RB this week.
Steven Jackson – RB Rams: I hate putting my faith in Jackson because he is old and broke down like a Studebaker in the back woods of Tennessee. But, the Jets do give up the 6th most points to RBs (21.3) and Jackson is riding high thanks to his 101 rushing yards last week against a stout 49ers defense.
Denarius Moore – WR Raiders: For all the same reasons I like Palmer, I like Moore this week. The Saints defense has a way of making fantasy studs and Moore is already a very solid WR2 in most formats. I have no problems starting him in any format as I think he could even be a good play in TD-only leagues.
Jordy Nelson – WR Packers: Nelson should be back in the starting line-up this week and a very good play against a Lions secondary that allows 33.7 PPG to WRs in PPR formats. We know Aaron Rodgers can throw the pigskin, and Randall Cobb can take the focus off Nelson and allow him to get his fantasy game on in week 11.
Aaron Hernandez – TE Patriots: All indications are that Hernandez will make it back on the field this week and the TE position for the Patriots is like fantasy gold. The Colts give up the fewest fantasy points to the TE (7.3) this season, but the Patriots use their TEs like other teams use their WRs.
St. Louis Rams defense: This is one of the only times in my entire fantasy football life I have ever said the words "start" and "Rams defense" in the same sentence and wasn't trying to make a joke about starting to run away from them. The Jets offense is anemic at best, and the entire team from the owner down is in denial about Mark Sanchez being the answer at QB.
Sit 'em
Joe Flacco – QB Ravens: After last week's blowout win, fantasy owners are thinking they have Peyton Manning sitting on their bench instead of Joe Flacco. But, buyers beware as the Ravens are going to lock up with a Steelers team that will rely heavily on their defense with Ben Roethlisberger is out and Byron Leftwich is in. Be aware and beware with Flacco this week.
Philip Rivers – QB Chargers: I grew up in San Diego, so I have fond memories of watching LaDainian Tomlinson and Vincent Jackson go all Boss Hogg on the NFL and produce fantasy glory with their numbers. But, alas, those days are long gone and all Rivers is left with is Malcom Floyd and Danario Alexander at WR, and Ryan Mathews at RB. The Broncos are playing in Beast Mode on offense and defense these days, and I don't have enough confidence in Rivers' weapons to think he will see QB1 numbers in week 11. He is currently ranking out as the #22 fantasy QB for the 2011 season.
Rashad Jennings – RB Jaguars: Jennings was everyone's waiver wire darling when he took over for Maurice Jones-Drew in week 7, but has failed to live up to any kind of hype. He has only scored one TD and hasn't topped 59 yards rushing yet this season, so why is everyone always sticking him into their starting RB situation when sending me emails, Tweets and Facebook questions? I warned you that he was a back-up for a reason, and he is proving it with his production on the field. He has some mild production in PPR leagues, but that relies on Blaine Gabbert to do his job and I have a Gabbert autographed jersey that Goodwill rejected for donation! Leave him on the bench or cut him and hope someone grabs him and he loses them some games instead of you.
Jonathan Stewart – RB Panthers: Stewart is still in the feature back role for the Panthers, but like Jennings he has failed to produce any measurable fantasy stats to go along with all the hype he gets from the big-box websites. He hasn't put up more than 51 yards rushing or 38 yards receiving in a game this season, and the Bucs give up just 16.3 PPG to RBs. And remember, those 16.3 points get split in half with DeAngelo Williams, so that is about 8 points (maybe) for Stewart.
Mike Wallace – WR Steelers: Until Leftwich shows he is anything more than distant memory for fantasy football owners, I want absolutely no part of anyone on the Steelers this week outside of Rashard Mendenhall. He was completely inept last week as he went 7-14 passing with 73 yards. I really don't expect too much from him this week and you shouldn't either.
Cecil Shorts – WR Jaguars: Did you that Shorts' 29 receptions put him in the #50 range for WRs? Because Gabbert is so wildly inconsistent, Shorts makes for a boom-or-bust play every week and I look more for a bust play this week against a Texans defense that gives up just 30.1 PPG to WRs in PPR formats (7th best in NFL).
Heath Miller – TE Steelers: TE is already a boom-or-bust play, and Miller is an even bigger boom-or-bust player. Starting anyone while Leftwich is at the helm is like backing the Titanic up and hitting the iceberg over again, it just doesn't make any sense.
Arizona Cardinals defense: The Cardinals have allowed just 16.0 PPG to QBs this season, 6th in the NFL. But, this week they face a prolific passing attack that features Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. There are so many ways they can beat you that it is hard to think the Cardinals can continue their dominance on defense in week 11. I'd sit them down in favor of a waiver wire defense like the Rams (owned in 4.9 percent of NFL.com leagues) or even the Broncos if they are available (owned in 61.4 percent of NFL.com leagues and ranked #3 overall for fantasy defenses).

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Nov 9, 2012.
Indeed. We are here to discuss figure skating.
Some quick hits from cbc gpf preview about T&S.
-Scott has a bit of a moustache (movember moustache?), although I'm not sure he's really capable of growing one, LOL.
-Tracey Wilson commented that they may need to 'simplify' the body movements which can potentially impede their ability to hit those edges cleanly in the SS's. This is why I'm finding that the COP approach to assigning levels is too restrictive and short-sighted. Difficulty is not just about the blade work but how the body movements make the blade work more difficult (this includes having good body lines)!
It'll be interesting to see how it works. The final footwork sequence in Carmen is so breathtaking to behold that I hope they've kept the stop-start madness intensity of it all
Thank you a lot!
O no. OK, they could to made this FD easy and re-move all body moves, but could they compete in this case with other teams? Why the medals is so important for them?
now when they will have the same FD it will be underdtanding D-W will win. I know, judges didnt reward T-S for there difficulty, but all people, who understad something in ice dance and modern dance respect this.
They did it very easy at exibitions, so why they listening Tracy and others? They need more time and maybe they could win with Mahler, but its was so good for us they tryt something so interesting and difficult and i dont want to see they will made this FD more simple and will remove interesting moves, because Tracy think they need to do
Pani, I think we should trust T&S's judgement and wait and see rather than panicking.
I agree -will see. But all saw what happened with Funny Face last season. All asked them to put more "crazy Audrey", but "specialists" said they to put more skating arround.
OK - will see.
I agree with this. It can be very frustrating. That's why we're seeing basically the same step sequence repeated ad infinitum by all the teams.
But I trust that T&S are aware what special material they have on their hands and will work to find a good balance.
Did they say anything else in the interview?
Still, the diagonal step sequence in Funny Face was pretty special, so I hope the SS in Carmen don't lose their essence much. I trust them
Only i think there SS in SD at CoR was made with vey deep edges, with fixing every step? But they got level 3 for it. So they will change it third time. And its hard to think they will get leves 4 for SS in FD after they made changes.
But will see. I hope they could return to the first version after GPF.
Interview by Brenda with T&S in Canton on Thursday:
brief summary...
-leaving for Sochi today (Sat)
-Why Carmen program challenged them more than any previous program: approach is more intellectual with every body movement having a meaning.
-Why take risk to add difficulty, while appreciated by fans, but not always by scoring system: one of reason stayed in after olympics to push the sport and push themselves
-GPF on olympic ice, what feeling want to have: want to leaving feeling good that skated well, but don't want to hold too much weight (based on their previous experience at the Vancouver venue); want to envision the rink and lay of the land, imagine stands full and flags waving
-2-pair race in Sochi: focus to deliver 2 strong performances, not be too worried about what the judges will reward, and just deliver what they are able to skate everyday in Canton.
-this year: heading into this one, they feel more ready and better to execute (having been able to compete in previous events)
-preparation for worlds at home: essentially they will treat it the same as another world championship but be prepared for the extra pressure, support and enthusiasm; need to stay in zone...
Thank you for posting the interview. Is it me or do they look very serious? Like, "in the bubble"/before competition-serious? They seem very focused and calm.
Also, they're leaving really early for Sochi.
LOL at how the article title doesn't match what Tessa and Scott are saying in the article.
Scott looks pretty hot with his almost-mustache.
I'm going to wade off into the shallow end, but before this season, never in a million years did I ever think I'd find Scott hot. Now? Hot. Very hot.
i think scott should keep that mustache for the rest of the season. just add a more debonaire hairstyle for the SD to make it appropriate for that dance. and that mustache will certainly add more heat to carmen
I could get behind that!
Golightly, I was also concerned that in trying to reach the levels they need, V&M would end up watering down Carmen thus turning it into yet another connect the elements styled program. After reading the last article posted it made me feel better. I'm glad that the changes made were made with keeping the artistry of the FD intact in mind. I'm just hoping the judges react positively to those changes. Icedancing needs to go back to FD's like Carmen IMO. FD's that are the perfect blend of technical prowess, skating skills and artistry/creativity that go far beyond just being a competitive piece.
Thank you so much Its great they will go to Sochi so early and if they really focucing on there skating, but not on results
Be sure to see at least one Canada flag
about levels... sometimes I wish there was a choreo step sequence like in men competition. no levels, just GOE.
I know it's an ice dance and it's all about technique, skating skills, edges but still: it's a DANCE and most of step sequences these days are just bland and doesn't fit the music at all.
This. At least just for the step sequences.
Agree. They did one choreo lift and skaters could show something more interesting, then all this 4 leveks lifts (wich most part of ice dacne teams have the same)
And i cant get why dancers need to use spin
Did you read Kurt blog about GPF? I like his sence of humor. Especially this - in V-T team Trankov is a diva, not she
OK Pani, we will play count the Panis at the Sochi event!
The full video of the Grand Prix Wrap on CBC doesn't work for me. It says "this content is currently unavailable". It could be geo-blocked, but since I can watch all the other videos on the site, I was wondering if it might be just a technical glitch.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
It dodnt work for me too. Maybe geoblock.
Thanks. Yeah, it must be geoblocked. Would have been nice to be able to watch it...
At least we could see T-S interview. What about Kirstena and Dylan?
Look like they are now in Istambul
Works for me, but I am in Canada.
Off-ice traning video. All look so great, but Tessa is the best

The Destination
Big things are happening around Lemon Cove, California. Though this tiny town in the Sierra Foothills accounted for only 308 residents on the 2010 census, its prime location between Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks affords residents unmatched access to some of the largest trees in the world. And it's not just the trees that are big. Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous 48 states, calls Sequoia National Park home, while the aptly named Kings Canyon boasts one of the deepest gorges on the continent.
The Digs
Set on one and a half acres in Lemon Cove, Plantation Bed & Breakfast offers guests a quiet, romantic retreat just 16 miles from the grandeur of Sequoia National Park. Long a citrus plantation, this 4,500-square-foot home has been transformed into a welcoming seven-room inn. Adorned with forest greens, soft lavenders, and rich burgundies, each guest room recalls scenes from Gone with the Wind, with individually appointed queen- or king-size beds, large, marble bathrooms, and airy windows that open to magnificent California sunsets.
In the morning, sit down to a gourmet breakfast prepared by Chef Marie, which might include fresh fruit and her famous granola, freshly baked muffins or scones, a decadent hot entrée, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. After a day in the parks, retire to the outdoor Jacuzzi and watch as the sky unfolds with millions of stars.

No, Indiana Code 8-1.5-3-9 allows municipally-owned utilities to withdraw from IURC jurisdiction upon a vote by the municipal legislative body. Also, I.C. 8-1-2.7 allows non-profit and small investor-owned water and sewer utilities to opt out of IURC jurisdiction. Once a utility is outside of the IURC's jurisdiction, the agency no longer oversees its rates and charges or rules and regulations.
The ratemaking and regulatory process begins when a utility files a petition with the IURC requesting new rates and charges. The utility must inform its customers of the pending rate case within 45 days of the filing date. Once the petition is processed, it receives a docket number and is assigned to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). From there, it proceeds through a standardized process that is detailed below.
Prehearing conference – A public hearing where filing and hearing dates are determined.
Utility pre-filing – The utility's case-in-chief, which generally includes the written testimony of the utility's witnesses, as well as supporting documentation for such testimony.
Field hearing – A public hearing in the utility's largest service territory that allows customers to speak directly to the Commission. Participation in field hearings is highly encouraged and considered before the Commission reaches a decision.
Public and intervenors' pre-filing – The cases-in-chief of the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and any other intervening party.
Rebuttal – Evidence refuting previous testimony.
Evidentiary hearing – A public hearing where the petitioner, the OUCC, and the intervenors present their evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
Settlement hearing – A public hearing where the various parties to the case present the terms of a negotiated settlement agreement to the Commission for consideration. Settlements must generally be reached before the last evidentiary hearing.
Proposed orders – Final filings submitted by each party stating its position, as well as its recommendations for the final order.

Everyone's favorite green grump stomps back into theaters for a fourth and final time in Shrek Forever After, also playing in IMAX 3-D. Shrek has come a long way since his days as the monster of the swamp. He married a princess, became a father and is now the biggest celebrity in Far Far Away. All he wants, though, is to feel like a "real ogre" again.
So Shrek signs a pact with the trickster Rumpelstiltskin, who promises to return him to his old life for a day. Instead, Shrek ends up in a world where Fiona is a wanted ogre, donkey is pulling carriages, and Puss in Boots is pampered and pudgy. Oh, and one more thing: Shrek was never born. Now he has 24 hours to make things right before he disappears forever. Will he succeed?
Antonio Banderas, who steps back into Puss's boots in Forever After, spoke to TFK about the end of the Shrek saga. What's next for the ogre's swashbuckling cat friend? Banderas gave TFK the scoop on that too.
This is your third Shrek movie. What was it like stepping back into Puss's boots?
It has been fun from the very beginning. After we established the character in the second Shrek film, everything became very easy. At first, we did consider the possibility of providing Puss with a little voice to match his body. But then we decided to go with a bigger voice. In that contrast you can find a lot of comedy.
What's more fun to play: a lazy and fat Puss, or a lean and limber one?
I actually had a lot of fun with this one. The cat that was so fantastically sly and smooth becomes fat! In this movie, I just love when Puss looks straight into the face of Shrek, with his eyelids halfway down, and he says [in Puss's voice], "Do I know you?" [Laughs] He has to make an effort just to stand up. And the pink ribbon is so anti-Puss in Boots.
How do you go from playing a character like Zorro to playing a cute and cuddly cat?
Because I never believed that I was any of those characters. Although sometimes I dream! In my career I've done practically everything, and I love that. I have done musicals, horror films, animation, action, adventure… So, I didn't have any trouble traveling from Zorro to Puss in Boots.
What has been your favorite Shrek movie?
For the ones I've been in, my favorite is Shrek 2 and the final one. But I loved the first Shrek because it was the one that broke the ice. It was the beginning of it all, and it was totally different than what we had seen in animation. I'm really happy to be part of something that is part of American pop culture. Shrek will be around forever.
It was recently announced that Puss in Boots is getting his own spin-off. What can you tell us about it?
We have recorded two long sessions already. It is going to be epic! [In the movie,] you will see why and how Puss in Boots became what he is today.
Would Puss ever make a deal with Rumpelstiltskin?
He's too sly. He can read beyond this guy's purposes. But Donkey would! Donkey is very pure in a way. The cat reads people a little better. I don't think he would have done it.
Would you take the deal?
Myself? No. I wouldn't want to do that at all. I take my life as it is with the good and the bad. If all were good, life would be boring. I wouldn't make a deal, not at all.
Shrek meets a lot of fairytale characters on his journeys. What fairytale character would you want to be friends with?
I always liked Peter Pan. There's something about him that is very mysterious, very heroic. As a child, I remember imagining those kids flying over London and going to that world and thinking that I would like to be Peter Pan.

Good solid choice in a handgun but a lot of other factors only you can answer would weigh into if it is the best choice for you or not. I have owned one and wish I still had it.

Reverse engineering = epeen?
I have a fast question regarding RE and discovering new exploits. I have mostly wanted to be a master at security. But, as we all know, security is very broad. I have chosen web app for the past few years, followed by network security, when studying security. My programming is very strong, but my RE is very very poor. Do you think RE is extremely important as a security professional? I feel like it's the security equivalent of the size of our "package" in the gym locker room lol. The more badass vuln you discover, the bigger the johnson lol.
I recently just felt this way because i'm looking to join a CTF competition at Polytech NYU. I feel extremely comfortable with web app, linux and network security, but RE...very poor. Do you think it's best to just master one or two aspect of security? I don't want to wear myself too thin, or else I'll never be "wanted". I'll never be a master.

Town Square
Horrific Toll. Simple Truth.
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Dec 21, 2012
In the wake of Newtown, the national consciousness has switched from the fiscal follies du jour to a serious conversation about … something. We may have reached some sort of tipping point, where an issue attains a self-sustaining momentum in the general direction of change. But as the national dialogue begins, we need to ask what IS the issue, really – and what sort of reform should we seek in our urgent quest to ensure that more Americans don't grieve next week? It is crucial that we get the question right, that we not ask it too narrowly, and that we understand that incremental progress will be denominated in actual lives.
Drew Curtis, the founder of the hugely popular weird news and hilarious commentary website fark.com (your scribe is a Moderator emeritus), is also an astute observer of the popular culture. He has identified what he calls the Missing White Girl Syndrome: among thousands of missing kids at any given moment, the media obsess over that very limited subset. Similarly, it's easy and appropriate to feel the awful agony of those families in Connecticut – they could be us. It is also tempting to focus reform on preventing shootings at school. But I'd submit that's way too narrow a focus. At minimum, we need to focus on keeping children -- in general, free from the scourge of gun violence – in general.
Nearly 3,000 children and teens are killed by gunfire, every year. Put in local terms, that's as if every kid who graduates from all six SRVUSD high schools was gunned-down, every year. Each of those young lives is precious; somebody grieves for every last one of them. And most of those killings did not happen at school. Schools are important as an aggregator of children. But to focus on keeping them safe there, but not everywhere, misses the point. Armed guards in schools? Only if you want to perpetuate – even institutionalize -- the violence problem. It is an index or of how low we've sunk that such a proposition would even be seriously posed.
While the causes of American violence are many, and there are powerful interests that will further obfuscate that reality and try to argue that real reform is beyond our reach, there's also a very common denominator and a pretty simple baseline truth: more guns = more homicide. It's true in every home, city, state and region in the US, and in every developed country in the world. Web Link I do not care whether there are 40 million or 300 million guns in this country already – every gun taken off the streets will be another gun that will never again kill on purpose, in the heat of passion, by accident or even in presumed self-defense.
We've danced with this violence devil far too freely and too long. Seniors, adults, parents, kids – potential victims all, need to shift the burden to the gun-toting minority to justify and closely regulate their lethal habits.
Happy Holidays – please hold your loved ones close.

Go to Oakland, Detroit, Richmond,LA and stand on a box. Demand the gang bangers turn in their weapons. Then call the law-abiding gun owners in the morning for ours---oh wait--you'd be dead already.

"...a gun is the most powerful device there is to accessorize the ego." Truer words were never written. And Ray exemplifies the adolescent fantasy of the "good guys" who believe that they will some day use their guns to shoot "the bad guys" and be heroes. In fact, their guns are more likely to be used to kill themselves or their family members. Don't need gang bangers. Just a bad mood, bad chemistry, a little too much alcohol - and the profound conviction that you're one of "the good guys." The Connecticut shooter's Mom didn't "turn her guns in," did she? Worked out so well for her and everyone else, right Ray?

Perhaps take a page from the pro-lifers' book and require a trans-anal ultrasound performed with a 12-gauge side-by-side, as part of the "background" check?
Just a thought.

Starting Position: Stand with your feet together. Pull your shoulder blades toward your hips. Engage your abdominal/core muscles ("brace") to stabilize your spine.
In preparation to step forward, slowly lift one foot off the floor and find your balance on the standing leg. Try not to move the standing foot and maintain balance without wobbling. Pause. Hold this position briefly before stepping forward. The raised foot should land on the heel first. Slowly shift your body weight onto the lead foot, placing it firmly on the floor. As you shift your body weight to the lead foot/leg, avoid the tendency to tilt or sway the upper body and try not to move the forward foot.
As you step forward into the lunge, focus on a downward movement of your hips toward the floor. Avoid driving your hips forward. This will help control the forward movement of your shinbone over your foot. Continue lowering your body to a comfortable position or until your front thigh becomes parallel with the floor and your shinbone is in a slight forward lean. During the movement, slightly bend forward at your hips. Keep the back straight.
Firmly push off with the front leg, activating both your thighs and butt muscles to return to your upright, starting position.We suggest you first learn how to perform single leg-stands on the ground before performing this forward lunge. Once you master the forward lunge, you can progress to doing a lunge using arm drivers and multi-directional glute activation lunges.

Oct 31, 2007 at 12:50 pm #1225646
Hey, next summer my father and I are going to try and do a section of The Continental Divide Trail, starting at the southern terminus of the wind river mountain Range (South Pass, WY) ending at old faithful Gyeser in Yellowstone NP.
The total mileage according to my map software is 263 miles, and I hope to complete it in 10 days.
As of right now, we are planning on doing it Alpine style (without resupply)
My gearlist DRAFT is in my forum profile
I have never hiked in the rockies, or in grizzly country, so any advice for hiking in Wyoming, or dealing with bears would be greatly apprectiatedOct 31, 2007 at 9:28 pm #1407386

– You list "GG light trek 3 trekking poles 125 cm." How do you carry the third pole, in your teeth? (Just joking.)
– I own the Cuben version of the Oware cat tarp, and found it so difficult to enter and exit that I rigged my two poles to stand without the aid of the tarp (leaning the poles outward, holding the outward lean with 2 cords per pole and keeping the poles from falling over with a "clothes line" running between the tops of the poles.) Then I rig the tarp to the poles, but since the poles stay up by themselves, I can flip up a corner of the tarp, or the whole side of the tarp, for super easy entry and exit.Nov 1, 2007 at 6:35 am #1407420
hey Robert,
-the GG lightrek 3 poles are actually a new and improved pole gossamer gear just reccently started offering.. not 3 trekking poles :P. first there were the lighttreks, then lighttrek plus, now lighttrek 3's.
If you havent seen them yett, you should check them out on gossamergears web site, they are lighter than the lighttrek plus, but are stiffer and stronger also.. amazing.
-interesting idea about the tarp also, but I have been using the oware cat tarp for a while without problems. Anyway, when, I dont have any fear of rain, I usually do not set up my tarp, and just bivy it.
the thing about the Cat tarp I do not like, is that there is only one pitching option, but the only flat tarps I have, are poncho-tarps, and I dont want to take the extra weight of the hood when I am bringing seperate raingear. I think for any thru- hikes I do in the future, I may buy something like an integral designs flat sil-tarp, so I dont have to set up the A-frame for months on end, but for this trip, I think I will be glad to have the catenary cut, because I may have to break camp abovve tree-line.Nov 2, 2007 at 9:45 pm #1407624

Ryan, your gearlist looks excellent. How's the breathability of the Montbell stretch windpants? Is it sufficient for highly aerobic activities such as fastpacking and XC skiing? Montbell claims excellent breathability, but their tech-specs mention that the stretch material contains polyurethane, which usually enhances waterproofness and inhibits breathability.Nov 2, 2007 at 11:02 pm #1407630

Chris, I only have good things to say about the montbell stretch windpants.. I wore them for over half the time last summer when backpacking in the sierras, and I never was uncomfortable because of moisture buildup. theay are very breathable and robust, I would definatly recomen them for backpacking, either as a pant worn all the time, or a windshell/ town day pant for those of us in running shorts :) they are as breathable as any softshell pant out there.Nov 3, 2007 at 8:16 am #1407653
I usually use micropur MP1 or aquamira chlorine dioxide TABLETS, I supose the wrapper they come in should be listed in my gearlists weight, because it is not consumable, but the weight would be <.1oz
and I am not really worried about any pack strap failure in my golite Jam, it is fairly robust, but I do have a needle in thread in my first aid kit if something goes awry. But I doubt It will be for my pack :)
use my trekking pole tip or stick to dig catholes in soft ground.. and if it is too hard of ground, I usually dont bother, I would have problems even if I did have a shovel, and animals do it all the time :P I just make sure it is a distance from the trails and sreams.
and I usually just string up my large stuff sacks with my food at the end of the day when there is no longer anything stuffed in them. so they can be multi use.. why have a seperate bear bag, when I will have a bunch of empty stuff sacks left unused under my tarp.Nov 3, 2007 at 8:44 am #1407656

"why have a seperate bear bag, when I will have a bunch of empty stuff sacks left unused under my tarp."
Hi Ryan,
Nice to see you back on the forums. Sounds like you have a fun trip planned.
I bear bag my food and have often thought about using my existing large stuffsacks for hanging food. I generally have two large stuffsacks that are suitable, the one for my sleeping bag and the other for my clothing. But I'm pretty careful, maybe overly so about trying not to get food smells on my sleep clothing or sleeping bag. I think about having a bag full of food and then in the morning stuffing my sleeping bag in the same bag and possibly transfering food smells to it so I just avoid the issue and use a separate bag. I made up a bear baggin kit similar to the one sold on this site and the total weight is about 2 oz (stuffsack, cord, carabiner, and large OP sack). My stuffsack is a large silnylon one, so I could even save weight if I used a cuben one. So the weight penalty for using a dedicated bag would be 0.3 oz or so if you used a cuben stuffsack.

The first thing that strikes me is, the daily mileage seems unrealistic. Maybe I'm jealous?…nah ; P
Only taking non-waterproof matches for a firestarter seems a bad idea. I realize you have a hiking partner.
How are you gonna do your maps? That weight for a 260+ mile trip seems low.
Have fun!Nov 3, 2007 at 9:01 am #1407660
hmm, thanks Daniel, that is some thing I had not considered. Thanks for the advice.
I currently have 3 BPL stuff sacks med. on my gearlist, one for my sleeping bag, one for my clothing, and the other for food, I did not plan for all my food to fit in it at the begining of the trip, and just to put the rest of the food in a stuff sack when I broke out my sleeping gear at night…
but, I like your idea, especially for grizzly country, I think I will replace one of my BPL stuff sacks for a larger bag to fit all of my food, and I do have some large OP sacks that I will use. in sil nylon, it probably will not weigh that much. and wil be less of a pain to organize my food at night
thanks againNov 3, 2007 at 9:01 am #1407661

I usually just string up my large stuff sacks with my food at the end of the day when there is no longer anything stuffed in them
Ryan, I thought about going this rout but I am too paranoid of bears and food smells around my clothing/sleeping bag. My last trip of the season a group of coyotes visited where my food bag was hung so they are interested in food smells too.
What I carry is a heavy plastic shopping bag from Wild Oats (.5 oz and free). It keeps all my food together in my backpack and doubles as a bear bag. It does rip up after a while.Nov 3, 2007 at 9:02 am #1407662
Ryan, you said, "why have a seperate bear bag, when I will have a bunch of empty stuff sacks left unused under my tarp."
As Daniel pointed out, food smells can (and will) transfer. I was taught early on that food has no place inside a tent……ever, let alone risk getting food smells on your sleeping bag! :-O
Don't take my word for it, (though I am old and pretty wise) but please look into it further for your own safety.Nov 3, 2007 at 9:12 am #1407663
I dont really have much of a problem hiking over 25 miles a day, I am concerned about my Dad though, he dosent get the same level of excercise that I do, but even still, We averaged 22 miles a day in the sierras last summer without any problems, quite lazily even, with just an hour more hiking a day we wont have a problem meeting our goal. this is time we had during our sierra trek, just did not use it. so I am really not concerned with the mileage.
I have a mini bic lighter in my first aid kit in case of emergency… never have I used it
when we call about permits and such, we will ask about getting forest service maps, also, we will have maps printed on waterproof paper from my DeLorme map software with waypoints on my dads GPS. (garmin fortrex)Nov 3, 2007 at 9:15 am #1407664
steve and P.P.,
thanks for your wisdom.. see the post above in response to Daniel, I am replacing one of the stuff sacks on my list for another with more volume, for use as my bear bag, also, I have some large OP sacks that I will use.Nov 3, 2007 at 9:25 am #1407666
Ryan, good news! Now I'll be able to sleep better.
BTW, as I recall, Yellowstone backcountry sites have the poles for bear bagging but you have to provide your own rope. Better add it to your list. ;-)Nov 3, 2007 at 9:30 am #1407667
I think I decided on one of the outdoor research helium quick sacks, I have some of their helium ditty bags, and have been very pleased with the fabrics strength.
I will decide which volume when I get an idea of how much food I will be bringing.
and I do have some Dyneema rope listed under cooking and hydration for bear baggingNov 3, 2007 at 9:39 am #1407668
Sorry, I missed the rope. Good job on your list. Your dad must be in better shape than I am. I haven't done over 20 miles a day in probably 20 years. :-)Jul 2, 2008 at 8:58 am #1441167
hi everyone.
havent been on the forums for a while. for no particular reason other than being busy with other things…
update on this trip….
tickets have been bought. most of my gear has been decided on. i am starting in the first few days of august. hope to cover the 270 miles in 10-13 days. no resupply is still the plan. i am planning on posting a full trip report on this site.
hope everyone has been well

Agree with Flattfan - there was no "holding up" PCS marks in the men's SP over the "new guys". They looked pretty fair and on par with what these guys should see internationally if they skate the same. Johnny a little lower due to being slower (SS) than Abbott and Lysacek. Abbott - you can really see the figures work he's done in his clear and solid edgework.
I wouldn't praise the judges to high Heaven just yet. Let's wait until the ladies produce a result the USFSA and NBC don't expect or want, then I will heap the praise upon them that they deserve.

Not on reputation, right?
But on how each skater actually fulfills the criteria for each of the components.
I predict that, for the most part, the skaters who are already considered to have better reputations will earn higher PCS because they will meet most of those criteria better. That's a lot of what earned them good results in the past and therefore the good reputations they enjoy.
Some of the top skaters also have persistent weaknesses in some of the PCS criteria, and some of the criteria are subject to significant variation between an "on" performance and "off" one from the same skater. So some of those component scores may end up being very different from what the skaters have sometimes earned in the past and what earned them their reputations.
GOEs will also make a difference in total scores and results, especially if everyone lands the same jumps and earns approximately the same levels on non-jump elements. We know which skaters tend to have the best positions and extension, spin fastest and longest, cover the most ice with their spirals, achieve the deepest and most secure edges in their step sequences. If they execute those elements approximately as well as they usually do, we know which skaters should earn higher points on those elements.
Just landing the same jumps doesn't put everyone on the same footing either. Quality of the jumps will matter as well -- height, speed in and out, correctness of takeoff and landing edges, full rotation, control of body positions in the air and on the landings, etc. The skaters who do those things well will earn higher GOEs and therefore more points for the jumps than the skaters who just squeak them out.
Only after you account for all those differences in the actual skating can any remaining discrepancy be attributed to reputation.
In long programs, does landing one or two more harder or cleaner jumps make up for less power and projection, for example, throughout the 4 or 4 1/2 minutes?

they picked the correct podiums (or is it podii) regardless of any inflation. Cheers for the US judges.
podii? podia? I have no idea but
some of you guys on this board just crack me up. Love it.
Here's an article about how Evan was upset his scores weren't inflated. lmao
I am still scratching my head when I look at the protocol sheets and see a -2 GOE for a fall (when it's obviously supposed to receive an automatic -3), or a +3 for an element that had no business getting that score... Ugh. This sometimes happens worldwide as well.
If the U.S. insists on continuing to pick it's Olympic teams based on one competition, in which skaters are sometimes separated by tenths of a point, I really wish we could at least make sure that skaters who fall actually receive the automatic -3 GOE from every judge.
I think the rule for falls is now that the fall contributes -3 to the GOE, but that positive features of the jump can raise it, as long as the total GOE for the element is negative.
IIRC the automatic -3 rule was changed starting with the 2008-09 season.
Well...but for the lady's SP, I think the top 4's scores were inflated. No edge call for the obvious case (i.e., Sasha's Flutz), generous GOE and levels on the other elements, and relatively high PCS. Let me see in LP. Who know there would be a US lady receiving over 200
Last edited by so_proud; 01-22-2010 at 08:39 PM.
I think that Sasha's 3l-2t should have received "e" or at least "!" and also deducted for the shaky landing that looked like being URed, too. That combo should have gotten minus GOE.
Wagner's another one who didn't get an edge call and we all know her flutz is as big as Sasha's.

An Evolving Multipurpose Tool
Historically, districts used magnet schools as a mechanism for achieving voluntary desegregation in their public school systems, whether proactively or under court order. From 1972 to 1981, districts were eligible for funding under the Emergency School Aid Act to implement magnet schools, federal support that continued with the authorization of the Magnet Schools Assistance program (MSAP) in 1985. Today, magnet schools are seen to have multiple, overlapping purposes. Under the aegis of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement, MSAP grants are given to projects that are expected to assist in the desegregation of public schools by addressing minority group isolation in schools with substantial numbers of minority group students. At the same time, these projects are expected to help achieve systemic education reforms and to give all of their students the opportunity to meet challenging academic content and achievement standards. Not least, those receiving funds are also expected to develop innovative education methods and practices that promote diversity and increase public school choice.1
Changing demographics across the country underscore the urgency for new approaches to avoiding minority group isolation in schools and to raising achievement for students of all backgrounds, as mandated in the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Today, public school educators face rapidly expanding nonwhite populations, with racial and ethnic diversity accelerating in suburban areas even as a growing de facto residential segregation isolates many urban school communities with largely low-income, minority students.2 At the same time, concerns about entrenched achievement gaps among students in different socioeconomic and ethnic or racial subgroups also have put the spotlight on excellence and equity. A body of research highlights the education benefits of student diversity.3 Studies also show that magnets, like other schools of choice, can increase students' motivation and parent satisfaction and involvement, as well as teacher engagement and morale.4
The continuing appeal of magnet schools is evidenced in their growing ranks. By one estimate, the number of magnet schools tripled between 1981 and 2002.5 Successful magnet schools are now seen as vehicles for accomplishing a range of overlapping goals for a host district: promoting voluntary desegregation, turning around low-performing schools, reversing declining enrollment, incubating innovative educational practices, catalyzing urban renewal, expanding a district's program of school choice, and, underlying everything else, closing achievement gaps. Yet, simply adopting or maintaining a thematic program for a magnet school is no formula for success—and sustaining success beyond initial improvements in enrollment and performance can be elusive: School leadership changes, new staff replace those with the initial vision and commitment that helped launch the magnet school, and competition for resources needed to sustain a program stiffens. Consider the experience of A.B. Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary School, one of six successful magnet schools featured in this guide.

You can say that you think JJ and Barden have the upside to surpass Hixon, but you can't say that they are better football players than Hixon right now without backing it up on the filed in ANY way.
I guess I'm with Matt on this. Thats not to say that I would definately keep Hixon instead of one of those guys, because sometimes you have to take that risk, but Hixon HAS produced and those guys haven't.

Pfizer Global Research and Development in Holland, Mich., and the engineering program at Hope College, also in Holland, have entered into a "strategic alliance" that will give the college's students a chance to apply their lessons to helping a local company with a real- life design problem.
For the remainder of the 2002 calendar year, engineering students at Hope will work with Pfizer to help design a device for dispensing chemicals during mixing.
Pfizer has pledged financial support to pursue the project, which started this semester with students enrolled in the college's senior-level engineering design course. During the spring semester, the students have been working with Pfizer to define the specific design problem and to search for and consider solutions. This summer, students and a faculty mentor will continue the effort as a collaborative research project, developing a prototype based on the spring semester's work. The plan is to complete the project in the fall.
"Through this partnership our students have the opportunity to experience a 'real-world' design problem from start to finish, while working alongside Pfizer's engineers and Hope engineering faculty," said Dr. Roger Veldman, who is an assistant professor of engineering and teaching the engineering design course. "It's really been a great experience so far, and I expect that will continue."
Originally a concentration within physics, engineering grew into a major at Hope in 1997. The college's Bachelor of Science degree with a major in engineering received accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2001.

These are my ground beef substitute
These cook up much quicker than the instructions on the wrapper -- to avoid being really mushy, try 25-30 min. When cooked, to my surprise, they were be a pale green/yellow/brown color. Red lentils are my go-to substitute for ground beef (can't eat due to sudden food intolerance) since they are a bit mushy & mix well with spices. I've made sloppy joes with them (cook 1 cup dry to substitute for a pound of ground beef) and also tacos & chili. I use the same spices, give or take, & turns out pretty good, but you'd never mistake it for actual meat. But this way I can eat my version & the rest of my family can have the real deal. I cook the entire bag at once & freeze in the portions I need. For lentil soup, I use brown or green lentils which tend to keep their shape.

Reality Check: Johnson Ad About Sending Jobs Overseas Is Misleading
Ron Johnson Running Against Sen. Russ Feingold
MADISON, Wis. - WISC-TV is continuing its We the People Wisconsin Fact Finder reports with a look at an ad in the U.S. Senate race about sending jobs overseas.
China plays a central role in an ominous ad from Republican candidate Ron Johnson, who is running against incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold.
"Feingold voted the party line for the stimulus bill that allowed our tax dollars to go to foreign companies to create manufacturing jobs overseas," says a narrator in the ad, as news items flash across the screen.
A WISC-TV analysis found this is misleading.
Johnson points to a project planned for Texas, where a Chinese company would build wind turbines in China and install them in Texas. U.S. investors originally said they may apply for stimulus funds, but so far, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, they haven't.
Plus, the same companies announced this spring they would build a factory in Nevada for the Texas wind turbines, creating 1,000 jobs near Las Vegas.
But, according to an Investigative Reporting Workshop report, money has gone to American subsidiaries of foreign companies to do wind energy work. The report said that of $4.4 billion in wind energy stimulus funds, 54 percent has gone to foreign-owned developers, but none of them was based in China.
"Democrat senators said the bill will create 3,000 jobs in China alone," says the ad.
A WISC-TV analysis found this is misleading, because it gets the timeline wrong. It assumes those who voted on the stimulus bill knew this was going to happen, which they likely didn't. And when some Democratic lawmakers discovered the loophole, they tried to introduce legislation to close it, although that measure died in committee.
WISC-TV tried to ask the companies involved if they planned to pursue stimulus funds for the project in Texas, where work is starting this week, but the calls were not returned.

Johnson City ministry hoping for Christmas miracle
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - More than 100 children could be without Christmas presents this year, but a Johnson City ministry is working around the clock to make sure that doesn't happen.
Good Samaritan Ministries director Sarah Wells hopes someone will listen to their plea for a Christmas miracle. "I'm afraid we do need one right now. We have three-and-a-half pages of waiting lists of kids that really are still needing to be put on that list," said Wells. "They haven't even made it to the list yet. I can't do that right now. It's going to take a miracle. My granddaughter looked at me the other day and said, 'Nanny, it will take a miracle.' And it will."
They also need food, and lots of it. "We still have 135 boxes to make," said Wells.
Good Samaritan also needs presents for 135 kids to go along with Christmas dinner. "When they do go back to school and the questions are asked by all the other children, 'What did you get for Christmas?' We want every child to be able to have an answer of joy of what they received" Wells said.
For Wells, it is not just about giving a gift. She wants to boost spirits too, so Good Samaritan tries to provide personal care items as well. "Things that make them feel good about who they are. That's very special," Wells said.
Wells and others are working very hard to give a little Christmas magic to children like Morgan Hensley. Her mom, Rachael Campbell, said Morgan now has presents under the tree thanks to the efforts of Good Samaritan. "She's about to be four years old, so she's aware of Santa and Christmastime and people getting presents. It would have been really rough if they had not helped out," said Campbell.
"We'd like to provide Christmas for all these children so they know without a doubt they aren't left out," said Wells.
Good Samaritan Ministries also still needs volunteers to help wrap and deliver gifts as well as the food before Christmas.
You can find out how to help by calling Good Samaritan. Their number is 423-928-1958. You can also find their website by clicking here.

Lady loggers perform at Eastern Idaho State Fair
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - The Axe Women Loggers of Maine will perform four shows per day at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot this week.
Sunday, the women showed off their ax throwing, cross-cut sawing, standing-block chopping and log-rolling skills in front of crowds. The group travels throughout North America year round performing at fairs, sports shows and festivals.
Catherine Spencer announces and performs during the show. She said their job is more than just entertainment.
"It's an entertainment show, but it's a competition show," said Spencer. "We all compete in the world finals, and we actually used entertaining in this show as a way to practice for the world championship.
She's been chopping for 10 years, and said it's all about technique.
"Even if you're the biggest, strongest football player there is, if you're not hitting at the right angle, you're never going to be able to blow chips out of the wood," said Spencer. "You're not even going to be able to beat little old me."
The owner of the company, Alissa Harper, got the group together two years ago. It's made up of 10 women, but only four attend each event.
"It's like a vacation for us," said Harper. "You're traveling, every couple of weeks you pack up and you go somewhere new and exciting."
The Axe Women Loggers of Maine perform at 11 a.m, 2 p.m, 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. till Saturday, Sept. 7.

Somewhat. NO current production gun really holds their value - not if you shoot it. The HK P7 might, and maybe the Beretta Billenium, if unfired, but that's about it.
U shouldn't looks more than a couple hundred dollars if you keep it in good shape. But, be aware that there are many different Kimber models. They have some w/ black sights in the mid to upper $600's, and some with nightsights in the 700 range. I like their black model with the front grip checkering and night sights - I think it's the TLE model. Now, of course, the more ya spend, the more features the gun has.
If ya buy a KImber, though, make sure it has an internal extractor. For 2006, Kimber finally quit making the guns w/ the external extractor - itw as causing them a bunch of problems. There is a lot of old stock still out there that stores are having problems selling because everyone wants the internal extractors

Who would have thought that it would be this hard to find a $1 plastic part.
My main system is down at the moment. The little plastic retainer that the processor heatsink clips onto has come away from the motherboard. No worries, I'll just pop down the road and pick one up. Yeah right!
So far I have been to 5 shops and none could help. The best offer so far is buy a new motherboard!!!
Even searching online I have found it very difficult to find this part. I am about to head of to the computer market to see if I can scrounge one.
It is so annoying, a $1500 piece of equipment down for the want of a crappy $1 part. Not to mention lost access to all the data. Oh well, the joys of computing need to be experienced <g>. Now I just have to resist the urge to buy a socket 939 board and a AMD dual 64 cpu…maybe next week.
