Title: An interesting read
By TeamPMM
on Saturday October 31, 2015
Hello fellow ethical-non-monogamists and polyamorists!Back in April 2015, we were approached to assist with adding to an article slated for, what we believed to have been, the Huffington Post. Unfortunately, we haven't heard anything from the "requester" after submitting our portion. We had worked our butts off writing the following and thought it worthy of our news section.Read and enjoy.START:A bit of background, www.PolyMatchMaker.com (PMM for short) has been serving the Ethical Non-Monogamous community for almost 15 years. The Team members here at PMM, collectively called "TeamPMM", have seen considerable growth and expansion in membership spanning a wide range, and different types, of Ethical Non-Monogamy. While the definition of Polyamory, typically "to love many" is still high on the list of the membership requirements, we are now seeing and catering to those who do not wish to limit the types of connections that they wish to have. The one comparative component that the variations of Ethical Non-Monogamists have is that all parties are aware of each other. PMM has its own definitions of Ethical Non-Monogamy, which can be read at our home page www.polymatchmaker.com, we will list them here for further clarification:* Poly* Polyamory* Ethical Swinging* Ethical Hedonism* Open Honest Relationships* Meaningful Multi-Partner Relationships* Swinging with Emotional Connections* Everyone should have the right to love who they want as long as all partners are consenting legal adults.It is important to note here that TeamPMM originally wrote this list and it continues to expand as we learn more about our own journeys and those of the membership. Now onto your direct questions:Q1. Your site seems to be responding to a need in the online dating community for people in open or poly relationships to find non-monogamous partners. Is the site meant to help people find relationships or hook ups outside of those relationships? A1. PMM caters to all types of Ethical Non-Monogamists. If a member is looking for an LTR (long term relationship) they may find others with the same goal. Additionally, some of the same members also list within their profiles that short term or even FWB (friends with benefits) are acceptable as well. We must stress again, Ethical Non-Monogamy, the bedrock on PMM's principles, is what sets PMM apart. Q2. Obviously people can still cheat even if they are in open or poly relationships if they are going outside of their monogamy agreements. Curious what you think about that.A2. Though it is impossible to truly know every members intentions, through our joining process we have notified and course corrected new members if their profiles read as if they are cheating and/or intentionally hiding the fact that they are seeking partnerships outside of what is on their plate at the moment. The triggers for TeamPMM, the administration force behind the website, are phrases or text that looks similar to "My wife/husband/partner doesn't know" or "We have a don't ask don't tell (DADT) policy" or even something as simple as the use of the word "discrete" when speaking about the flow of a potential relationship with a significant other. It is complex, but we've caught a few in our day. With that said, whether TeamPMM or an existing PMM member is checking out a profile, it's all about reading the context of a profile in an attempt to gauge the desire of a potential member. This is something that every member of the site must do; read a profile, see if there are similarities, determine if the potential partner is a feasible option, and then move onto next steps. Q3. Also, how do your users protect their privacy when using the site, and what are some of their concerns and questions that you think might be at the forefront of their minds when using the site?A3a. This question could go a few ways; we will just refer to the obvious Privacy Policy that is available to the public at any time. A3b. We believe that the number one worry of membership may be "being outted" as Ethical Non-Monogamy; specifically the subset identifying as Polyamorous, which has a stereotype due to what is shown on TV and mass media. Ethical Non-Monogamy can be anything, without limits or boundaries sans one " be ethical.A3c. The site is designed with unique principles set in place that span not only the usage of the site, but also in also how it is displayed to non-members and members alike. For example, to see who is a member of PMM, one must join it. Q4. As a dating site how does your site differ from other niche sites (edited by PMM)?A4. We do not wish to nit-pick here. Each must have their own audience. www.polymatchmaker.com however wishes to serve the Ethical Non-Monogamous community. Our membership spans many different types of people from all different walks of life, demographics, vanilla to hard kink, and gender to non-binary, LGBTQC, and so on. Q5. Does your site include articles on things like dealing with jealousy, and other issues that could come up for users, and are they written by experts and licensed professionals?A5. There was a time, over ten years ago, when previous members of the administration did their best to pen articles and encouragement on the road to Ethical Non-Monogamy, however PMM's main focus is and always has been to connect members of similar mindset. When PMM first started, resources were low and it was hard to find information, specifically from specialists in the field. PMM does display some articles that speak to the terminology of the site, its usage, and even how to think about internet dating such as http://www.polymatchmaker.com/go/safedate. Now however, as Ethical Non-Monogamy has become more commonplace and understood as a viable relationship model to so many, there are resources on the internet that can be found easily if properly searched. We know our website well; PMM brings like-minds together. Q6. Is there anything else that you think it might be important for readers to know? For professional therapists working with people in non-monogamous relationships to know? For people in open relationships?A6a. This is perhaps the most important question of all of the previous questions combined. i. Know that you are not alone; you have options in this world if you are honest with yourself and those to whom you love. ii. Know that you have the right to be accepted no matter what your sexual orientation is or even your birth or chosen gender or even non-gender. iii. Believe that you are a powerful person who has the capacity to love and care for whomever and how many consenting adults as you wish. iv. You can strive to be and connect with people on many levels and that you do not have to keep yourself in your self-made box. v. Love does not have to be equal; you can love at many levels. vi. Love does not have to be forever, nor does it have to live with you.vii. Consider that your identity is human; everything else is gravy. viii. Consider avoiding thoughts that an existing or new partnership is a commodity or even a possession and try to see each person as a unique loving, wonderful addition to your life. ix. Consider "dating" and "courting" again without dropping lines in the sand to imaginary goalsx. Know and believe that those of this generation are changing the monogamy rules and making multi-partner relationships a non-taboo subject and a viable-realistic-sustainable option. A6b. This is what we hope to share with the world and members of www.polymatchmaker.com " Love has no limit to orientation, gender or time-frame. Love is not equal. Love is a gift" a shareable wonderful treasure that if treated ethically could produce amazing rewards. In closing, we hope and ask that you use all of our replies in context as they were written. If you have any further questions, we would be more than happy to answer them and supply our humble insight to assist with the topic of Ethical Non-Monogamy.

Recollecting Bremen Towne: Keith Edmier Creates his 1971 Kitchen
Paul Schmelzer
Apr 2012
An Amana 25 refrigerator, an oven/range with Perma-View glass window, a rotary phone in harvest gold: These items are part of Bremen Towne, Keith Edmier's reconstruction of the kitchen in the suburban home of his youth. Exactingly reproduced for Lifelike, the piece is paradoxical: it's the product of the artist's memories, yet the act of re-creating it supplanted some of those same memories.
Graffiti on the Concourse: Keith Haring's 1984 Walker Mural
Paul Schmelzer
Mar 2012
The year was 1984, the site was the Walker concourse, the hall between the museum and the Guthrie Theater, and the artist—then the toast of New York's graffiti and gallery scene—was Keith Haring.
Ponies, Swans & Mondrian Thongs
Frank Gaard
Mar 2012
For more than four decades, Frank Gaard has forged deeply personal work that draws influences from Dick Tracy comics, philosopher-poets such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, and artists like Piet Mondrian. For his first Walker show since 1980, Gaard has selected a sampling of works from the exhibition and composed a few thoughts on each in his distinctive handwriting.
Kaz Oshiro's "Painting Problem"
Paul Schmelzer
Mar 2012
Artist Kaz Oshiro creates pieces that occupy a kind of middle ground—between Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, representation and conceptualism, painting and sculpture. In a new conversation, he discusses his work in the Walker's Lifelike exhibition and how he creates art to help address his "painting problem"—a desire to progress from exacting realism to hesitation-free abstraction.
My Hand or My Voice
Susy Bielak
Mar 2012
Theaster Gates doesn't use the word activism. "I grew up thinking that my politics would be more in my hand and in my body and in labor," he said. This month the Walker presents an exhilarating work by Marc Bamuthi Joseph that features Gates' sets and addresses environmental justice. He and Bamuthi recently discussed the project and the question, "Is my hand needed more in this situation, or my voice?"
Unconventionally Real: Nine Artists Discuss Their Work in Lifelike
Siri Engberg
Mar 2012
Can the use of realism be seen as unconventional in the context of contemporary art? This core question of Lifelike can be addressed through many of the works on view. Here, artists Ai Weiwei, Vija Celmins, Susan Collis, Keith Edmier, Robert Gober, Kaz Oshiro, Peter Rostovsky, Paul Sietsema, and Mungo Thomson offer a glimpse into their work process and the notion of radical realism.
Radical Realism: Lifelike Explores the Mutability of Reality
Julie Caniglia
Feb 2012
One long-standing notion in western culture is that an artist's work should stand out. It should look and be strange somehow—if not bizarre, then at least out of the ordinary. The new Walker exhibition Lifelike explores a contrary proposition: What if realism is the new radicalism, dull is the new bizarre?
Jim Hodges' Buoyant Monoliths: The Walker's Newest Outdoor Commission

Perth will be seeking more revenge when the top two teams meet at the Vector Arena tomorrow night.
Looking back at the box scores from the Breakers' two previous clashes with Perth this season, it is difficult to determine why this rivalry is so fierce.
Both games saw the West Australians edge in front early before blowing out the Breakers - by 21 points on the North Shore in November, then by 25 in Perth a month later.
If a rivalry involves a competition for superiority in the same field, it's hard to see much competitive about those two encounters.
But these two teams, first and second in the Australian NBL, have history extending beyond this campaign - and it's that history which will leave the Breakers intent on handing out a hammering of their own at Vector Arena tomorrow night.
The Wildcats are the most successful club in the history of the league, with five championship banners hanging in the rafters at Perth Arena, but the Breakers have ended their last two seasons en route to consecutive titles.
Last year's grand final series was particularly acrimonious and, by the looks of Perth's form in their match-ups this season, the Breakers' triumph irked the men from the wild west.
They have sought and claimed an element of revenge, and will continue to do so should the sides do what most expect and set another date for the grand finals in April.
But this week it's the Breakers seeking vengeance, with veteran forward Dillon Boucher leaving no doubt of the animosity involved when the heavyweights meet.
"I wouldn't say it's a friendly rivalry - it's a rivalry," he said. "They're a team that want to come out and prove we shouldn't have beaten them in those finals. They've got a point to prove, there's no doubt.
"And they've beaten us twice this season, so we've got a point to prove as well. Any time you've got two teams out there trying to prove a point there's going to be some fireworks."
Boucher was unconcerned about the nature of his side's two defeats to Perth this season, saying the Breakers' nine-game winning streak shows they are a different proposition from earlier in the campaign.
"Those games were a long time ago, we're probably a different team to what we were," he said. "Most of the times [Perth] beat us it's when we haven't played well.
"You give them credit - it's because of what they've done - but, for us, you never want to finish a game thinking you've played well and lost. We know that if we play well and we stick to what we've been doing well over the last few weeks then we'll come away with the win."
With another trip to Perth scheduled for March, the Breakers have an outside chance of squaring the season series. They would need to make up 46 points - something Boucher thinks they "can definitely do" - but that possibility is more a point of pride than being imperative.
Of more importance will be the desire to take at least one win from the season into a potential finals series - though coach Andrej Lemanis was unequivocal in denying the game was must-win.
"I'm not the sort of guy who likes to put more on one game than any other game," he said. "What happens if we lose? We stop playing?
"As a club we understand that if you put too much on any one game, if you win you can get too over-excited and if you lose it can be too depressing."
With that said, it's hard to imagine anything more depressing for the Breakers than this rivalry again turning into a Perth rout.

Local business feels furlough pain
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Government workers are dealing with a pay cut for nearly three months. Government furloughs mean one day a week of less pay for many in Southern Colorado.
Families are making cuts to survive, and furloughs are affecting local businesses too. It's an economic domino effect. If people are spending less, businesses will suffer.
At High Maintenance Salon, summer is a busy season, but this summer is much quieter.
Leslie Killian is the manager. She said there has been a 25 percent loss of profit and the furloughs are to blame. Many of her regulars are not walking through the doors anymore.
"They are specifically saying I cannot come during this time. What my concern is -- I can handle the 11 weeks -- it's what happens when we have to recover from those 11 weeks," said Killian.
Killian said the salon is working on special packages to offer furloughed families.
"Now you have to manage that you are losing $300 a month on your paycheck. Can you really afford that $40 pedicure anymore?" said Killian.
So, as furloughed families cut back, employees like Killian are cutting back too. Killian sees the light at the end of the furlough tunnel, and thinks her clients will return.
"Those are clients that I have seen for three years -- once a month or every other week kind of thing," said Killian.
KRDO NewsChannel13 has a list of businesses giving deals to furloughed workers. You'll find it here on krdo.com under links we mentioned.

Thompson said, "Dennis is a passionate music executive who possesses an unmatched knowledge of the ever-changing landscape of Radio, and his relationships and respect in that world are second to none. Just as important, he is totally dedicated to working with our artists and helping to bring their music to mass audiences through the airways. He is a strong leader that enjoys the respect of our artists, as well as their managers, his staff and co-workers. On top of it all, Dennis is a trusted and loyal friend. He is an invaluable member of our team, and I congratulate him on this well-deserved promotion."
Reese commented, "Success starts at the top. With Lucian Granges commitment and Steve Barnetts vision, the Capitol Music Group is on its way to being the best in the business, and I cant thank them enough for this opportunity to play a part in the rejuvenation of one of the most historic music labels ever. Greg Thompson and I have been together long enough to finish each others sentences. His friendship means the world to me, and I couldnt think of doing this with or for anyone else. Im also incredibly proud of our promo staff, who have proven that even in the most challenging circumstances they could break new and developing artists and help take established artists to the next level. I have no doubt that the coming years will be great ones." Reese has been with Capitol Records since 2004, most recently as SVP of Promotion. During his tenure, Reese has overseen the achievement of nine #1 songs for Katy Perry, been instrumental in the success of hits from Coldplay, helped break David Guetta in the U.S. and helped Lady Antebellum crossover from Country radio to the Pop formats. Prior to joining Capitol, Reese was SVP of Promotion for Elektra. Previously, he was with Columbia Records from 1993 to 2000, rising to SVP of Promotion, as well as working with Columbias subsidiary labels, Work Group and C2. He began his career as a radio station programmer, working in Miami, Orlando and Charlotte.

The 16th annual Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) will screen its top choices, presenting more than 200 films — mostly shorts but also feature-length narratives and documentaries — which were culled from a record 4700 submissions from 32 states and 51 countries. From August 7 to 12, 28 world premieres and 26 North American premieres will be shown.
There are more than 7000 film festivals around the world, and RIIFF is one of only 75 accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifying festival for the Academy Award for Short Films. Last year five works received Oscar nominations and two won: The Shore, directed by Terry George, and William Joyce's The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
In addition to the screenings, RIIFF presents the RI Film Forum, a region-wide workshop focused on bringing film productions to the state; the ScriptBiz Screenwriting Workshop; a walking tour of film locations in Providence; plus filmmaker symposiums and networking events.
The 2012 RIIFF also includes a return of the Providence Underground Film Festival; the 13th annual GLBT Film Festival; and a panel discussion on the art of film music, with composer Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean).
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Flickers, the Newport film society that began the festival. "We started Flickers because we couldn't find art and foreign films in our area — they were all in Boston and New York," explains George T. Marshall, Flickers' founder and executive director of RIIFF. "As we started getting involved with the films we were bringing in, that's when the independent film movement started taking off. Over the years we started adapting to it and it became more and more of our focus."
At other times during the year, Flickers sponsors the RI International Horror Film Festival (in October); the Providence Children's Film Festival (February); the 7DayPSA competition, which makes public service announcements for nonprofit organizations; and the summertime KidsEye filmmaking camps for youngsters. And classic and foreign films that were presented in Flickers' early years will be shown at libraries around the state.
The Opening Night Premiere and Gala Celebration at the Vets will showcase short films, surveying the breadth of selections; the Sunday closing presentation at Providence Place Cinemas will present the feature Hit and Run. Directed by David Palmer and Dax Shepard, it's a romantic action comedy in which a former getaway driver (Shepard) breaks out of the Witness Protection Program so he can drive his girlfriend (Kristen Bell) to LA, where her dream job is awaiting. On his trail are the Feds (led by Tom Arnold) and his former co-criminals (led by Bradley Cooper).
Marshall says that submissions always seem to reflect contemporary conditions off the screen, such as the global economy. "So this year, for example, we've gotten a lot of political films," he notes. "I try honestly to stay out of things that are too much like a diatribe, because that's not what we're about. You're not coming into a theater at our festival to be preached to. That's not entertainment. If you want to do that, then turn on the television."

text: I have a two hitch with ball from my old suburban. My new Burb has a lift, so I purchased a new drop hitch without a ball. As I suspected, when I try to take the old ball off and put it on the new hitch, it spins in place. My silly question is, how do I remove the tow ball without marring it? My only thoughts is to clamp it the ball portion in a vice? Thanks

I previously posted about a swarm I caught (my own bees) and rehived. They swarmed twice again, but both times returned home. I was able to watch them leave, swarm first time low in a tree and second time high in another tree and both times fly back home within about 20 minutes. Well, today they took off again, but not for very far. The landed only about 6 feet from their hive on the GROUND, with a medium sized clump of bees at one spot and a medium carpet of bees swarming through some tall broad weeds. They finally either ended up as one or some flew back home.
They stayed almost an hour so I called a friend to see if she wanted the swarm. I really wanted them away from their hive and I don't have an alternate location more than 5 miles away. Since they had left over and over again, seemed to me they might settle in better at another apiary.
Well...checked the remainder in the hive this evening and they are all balled up at the entrance just like last night...suitcases packed, ready to bail if there is good weather tomorrow. I'm a pretty new beekeeper, but they are EXACTLY the same right now at their entrance as they were last night. This swarm was hived with two capped queen cells from which a queen should have emerged around a week ago or so. Just can't figure this hive out. I have not inspected it because it is so unstable. Was planning on inspecting it tomorrow since the swarm swarmed and was taken away...but now I'll be watching for them to leave again.
Any advice on how to handle this colony and it's behavior would be much appreciated!!! Thanks ahead!

Playboy.com is heading down to the San Diego Comic Con. Here is the gear we just won't leave the office without!
If you're heading down to San Diego Comic Con next week there are a ton of things you need to bring with you to brave the long and winding line to Ballroom 20, fight off the gangs of hot cosplaying women looking to find their own Han Solo and store all the awesome swag you will no doubt get while you're walking the floor. Here are a few gadgets you'll need to get you through the week at Comic Con. Have a great time, fellow nerds!
Mophie Juice Pack
You think that you won't be draining your iPhone battery, but chances are you will need a way to 1-up your iPhone's life expectancy once you hit hour three waiting in line to watch the cast of Community talk about (probably) their last season on NBC, or the hot girls from Game of Thrones talk about how fun it is to film those racy scenes (only guessing). We tested the Mophie Juice Pack at this year's CES while we ran around with Jo Garcia, and we absolutely swear by it. It gives you up to six extra hours of talk or web browsing time and a whopping 36 extra hours of audio. They've just released a thinner model called the Mophie Juice Pack Air, which is made for the iPhone 4/4S and starts shipping on July 6th, so get your order in now so you can have it in time for the con. Buy here!
Price: $76
Specs: Full protection of a hard-shell case, 1500 mAh battery capacity, 1-year warranty
We wish we could list the official Comic Con app here, but it's just so god-awful we wouldn't wish it upon anyone's iPhone screen. The best way to get around the Con is to grab a map and a good old pen to circle what you want to go to and set an alarm on your phone to remind you. Other great apps that we anticipate will help you get around include the Marvel Events app, which can get you some swag and keeps you up to date with everything that's going on at their booth throughout the festival in real time. We haven't heard much from Foursquare's camp yet, but we anticipate some cool booth discounts when you check in around the floor.
Camelbak All Clear
Like every other convention/festival/big gathering, necessities like food and water will be pricey. We've heard that the top places to score cheap eats inside are limited to slices of pizza and a guy who sells gyros, so your best bet to save your cash is bringing your own food like sandwiches or energy bars. As for your water, Camelbak has come out with a really great water purification bottle that works within seconds to ensure you are always drinking clean water. By using UV technology, the purification system nullifies all of the microbiological contaminants in 60 seconds and can treat up to 16 gallons of water with each charge. You'll save at least 50 bucks with this awesome bottle. Buy here!
Price: $75
Specs: Built into water bottle, treats .75 L per cycle, runs on two rechargeable lithium batteries
Belkin USB Charging 6-Outlet Surge Protector
Places to plug in your devices are far from abundant and are usually all snatched up by people needing to recharge their iPads, computers or cameras. Be a real-life Good Guy Greg by bringing along an outlet to plug into the wall which will give you and everyone else who is in dire need of power a chance to get through the day. The Belkin outlet is not only surge protected but is also equipped with two places to power up via USB cable for all of those people who don't know about the awesome Mophie Juice Pack. Buy here!
Price: $15
Specs: Compatible with any USB-enabled device, $25,000 connected equipment warranty, damage-resistant casing

Pulaski Technical College will celebrate National Tutoring Week with an Open House on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Students can stop by the Bank of America Learning Assistance Lab, located in Rooms 302-303 on the third floor of the Campus Center on the main campus, or the learning lab at the Little Rock site on Kanis Road to enjoy refreshments and learn about free tutoring services available.
Both labs are open 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.
Pulaski Technical College employs nearly two dozen tutors who provide free individual or group tutoring in a variety of subject areas. The center also offers technology services through a computer lab where students may access word processing, PLATO tutorials, the Internet and e-mail.
"This is a way for students to come in and meet the tutors and learn what our program offers them," said Learning Support Services Coordinator Rhonda Carroll. "Our goal is to help them be successful."

Is there any word on how he is doing? With AB gone, is he the planned number 2 back?
Is there any word on how he is doing? With AB gone, is he the planned number 2 back?
2 back system. They'll split carries. If we get some decent run blocking they could be SCARY good!
The word right now is they plan on placing a tender on him.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
...........but is there any word on how his recovery is going?
No one remembers who came in second.
^ Nope but I'm sure he's on schedule. Fractured fibula is not that serious to recover from. My friend had the same injury and only took him about 2 months.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
I am very excited for Brown to get more carries this year. He may not be the most athletic RB in the league, but his vision on the field more than makes up for it. Even though he is a big guy he is still shifty and can often make something out of nothing, especially on the goal line. Since he has been on the bench most of his career, he is still relatively fresh. We could have a nice RB duo for years to come!
I would not be surprised to see Andre Brown get as many carries as Wilson, and maybe more.....he has the tools (including blocking) that allows him to be on the field for pretty much any down or distance.

|13.1 cm diameter x 3.2 cm thick / 5.2 in diameter x 1.3 in thick

Product Description
Arrange the wheels such that at least two 4-letter words appear at the same time. Each wheel contains the alphabet A - Z in order. It is remarkably difficult to find even one pair of words, but there are more to find. It is very addicting...
There are 17,576 possible unique positions of the wheels that will show 456,000+ 4-letter combinations. Only a few of these wheel positions will yield two words at the same time. An example: LAWN & PEAR will appear at the same time.
This is an historical puzzle dating from 1882 when it was made from paper. The inventor, WH Rieff, called it a Spelling Toy and Puzzle and it was meant to be both educational and entertaining. It has not been made in any format for generations to our knowledge.
You can use any word which can be found in a standard English language dictionary or Scrabble dictionary. Like Scrabble, types of words which cannot be used are abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes or words that require a hyphen or an apostrophe. Proper names and words that are spelled with a capital letter also cannot be used.
Note: This is also an item that may have appeal to educators in developing word, spelling, and language skills.
Made Spring Hill, Florida. Thanks to Rob Stegmann from Rob's Puzzle Pages and the Jerry Slocum Museum at Indiana University for the idea for this very interesting puzzle.
Jeff Scott Brown wrote a program which identifies all possible answers based on the scrabble dictionary. Thanks Jeff! There are 353 word pairs and 16 triple words possible! This far exceeds our expectations as after hundreds of hours manually searching by a dozen people we had only found 93 word pairs and zero sets of three words.

I feel that God has uniquely prepared me for my role at Wheaton College. By my senior year in high school I had lived in Iran, Germany, England, Peru, and the United Arab Emirates. I was looking for a college with an international perspective where I could grow in my faith, be challenged academically, and make lifelong friends. Wheaton was the perfect fit! As a Wheaton student I enjoyed being a member of the Track team, leading a prison ministry, going into Chicago once a week with the Wheaton Evangelism Team, and working as a DJ for WETN (Wheaton's own radio station). I also was involved in World Christian Fellowship where my eyes were really opened to God's perspective on the world. Even though I had lived outside the U.S. all of my life, I had a lot to learn about God's global plans. By my senior year in college, I knew that God was calling me to cross-cultural work. As Sociology major, I had learned the strategic value of urban ministry. I had grown in my compassion for the Muslim world. I had also fallen in love with another Wheaton student who had a heart for Asia. After graduating from Wheaton, I got married to my college sweetheart and we moved to Indonesia where we served for the next 12 years. Our first two years there, we were international students at a local university! Our sons spoke Indonesian before they spoke English and, now that we are back in the United States, they still enjoy eating tempeh and sambal olek. I would love to be a part of your journey as you explore your future college destination! Please let me know how I can serve you and your family! Contact Becky

Subcommittees charged with recommending curriculum and structure for the college's seven academic units will hold public meetings beginning next week to share their initial ideas and solicit comments.
The CMCI will be an interdisciplinary college, housing programs in journalism, advertising and design, communication, the moving image and media production, media studies and a new department of information studies.

Other committees will draft a diversity plan, draw up bylaws and faculty policies and procedures, design the college budget and make recommendations about student issues, including advising and assessment. The subcommittees will make their reports by Dec. 31, 2013. CU-Boulder will make a complete proposal for the college to the university Board of Regents next spring.
Upcoming subcommittee meetings include:
Intermedia Digital Art, Writing, and Performance: Wednesday, Sept. 11. Meeting open to the public from 5 p.m.-6 p.m., Hale Science Building, Room 270.

Biedscheid begins serving Bend jail term
Received 90-day sentence in fatal hit-and-run
BEND, Ore. - Bret Biedscheid was booked into the Deschutes County Jail Wednesday to begin serving up to three months for fleeing the scene of a 2011 fatal hit-and-run crash that killed pedestrian Anthony "Tony" Martin.
Biedscheid was also sentenced Tuesday by Deschutes County Circuit Judge Roger DeHoog to serve three years of supervised probation, continue his psychotherapy for depression and perform 500 hours of community service for his agreement to plead guilty to leaving the scene of the accident.
The original charge of criminally negligent homicide was dropped in a plea deal that avoided a trial.
"There is nothing in this case that tells me Mr. Biedscheid caused the accident, or had he stopped as required by law, the outcome would have been different," DeHoog said, after explaining he could not impose a sentence based on the death of Martin or on unproven allegations that Biedscheid was driving impaired.
Before the judge imposed his sentence, Biedscheid tearfully read from a prepared statement, several times turning to address the Martin family in the courtroom.
"I stand before you today guilty of the offense of hit and run, as a result of my failure to perform the legal and moral obligation to fellow human being Anthony Martin," Biedscheid said. "I accept full responsibility for my inaction, and am prepared to accept the legal consequences you (the judge) think will be appropriate.
"It's of little comfort to me to understand I was not the cause of the accident. The man died, and I did not stop to help, if I could. And for this fact, I'll never forgive myself. To Mr. Martin's family, I'm so deeply sorry, I wish I could do something to relieve your suffering. I realize you may never forgive me, and I accept that as part of my punishment."
It's the first time we've heard publicly from Bret Biedscheid, 2 1/2 years after the violent crash on Third Street near Revere Avenue in Bend.
Longtime friend David Krause and Tony Martin's sister both tearfully asked the judge for the maximum sentence of 16 months in jail, as sought by prosecutors.
"We do not think the plea deal he struck was right," said Teresa Gibbs of Madras, Martin's sister. "If the tables were turned, my brother would not have left him in the street to die."
Biedscheid had a lot of support in the crowd, with his brother-in-law, neighbor, college roommate and wife Ellen Biedscheid all telling the judge he's a great family man and community member.
"The last 2 1/2 years have been truly difficult for Bret and our family," she cried. "it's hard watching Bret struggle through, at times, overwhelming situations. From the beginning, he's tried to do the right thing, and he's had to stand silently as his character and reputation were questioned."
Prosecutors revealed that the day after the crash, Biedscheid did computer searches for defense lawyers, a car repair shop, and news reports on the crash.
He deleted his Facebook page and hid his damaged, bloody truck in the garage, instead of leaving it in the driveway as he normally did.
Crash reconstructionists determined Biedscheid was going 37 miles per hour at the time of the crash, on a stretch of Third Street with a 35 mph speed limit.
But it was the allegation that a troubled Tony Martin caused his own death by stumbling into traffic with meth and marijuana in his system and a .22 blood alcohol level that the case hinged on.
Martin had several DUIIs of his own, spending time in jail for drug and alcohol infractions. The defense revealed Martin was under probation at the time of his death, and wasn't to be drinking or doing drugs.
Defense lawyer Stephen Houze of Portland told NewsChannel 21 after court, "Even though it wasn't Mr. Biedscheid's fault, nonetheless, he's been devastated by this and in the past 2 1/2 years has suffered.
"It was an unavoidable accident, unfortunately. Mr. Martin was highly intoxicated with drugs and alcohol, and wandered into traffic in the darkest part of Third Street."
The DA's office says it could not prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the negligent homicide charge, and would have dropped it, had the case gone to trial.
We asked District attorney Patrick Flaherty what he would say to the people who say Biedscheid got away with killing someone.
After a long pause and sigh, Flaherty responded, carefully choosing his words: "There's a big distinction between causing someone's death and acting in a criminal way to cause death. We couldn't prove he was under the influence. And it does appear from the investigation, it was an unavoidable collision."
Biedscheid will report to county jail Wednesday. Attorneys say it's possible he'll spend less than the 90 days, with good behavior and a work release program that takes time off a sentence. When he's out, Biedscheid will have his drivers license revoked for five years.
He's chosen to do his 500 hours of community service at the Bethlehem Inn homeless shelter.

Shane Flanagan is believed to have been reinstated as Cronulla coach after meeting with the board of the embattled NRL club on Friday morning.
The Sharks have called a media conference for new chairman Glenn Coleman and Flanagan at the club at 12.15pm NZT when it's expected an announcement on his return will be made.
Flanagan was stood down two weeks ago by the board while four other senior staff were sacked amid the anti-doping investigation which has plunged the club into crisis.
Flanagan has retained the full backing of the Sharks playing squad and the possibility he could be reinstated arose when Damian Irvine quit as chairman last week, with Coleman taking over.
Interim Cronulla coach Peter Sharp earlier this week admitted he had no idea if Flanagan would be reinstated, but said everyone involved with the side wanted him back.
"He's the coach of this football club and everybody in the football club wants him back, myself included,'' Sharp said on Monday.
"Let's hope we get some closure on that as well.''

However, we will not knowingly use that contact information for sending commercial marketing email. We reserve the right to respond to user inquiries or requests sent via a wireless device that uses a domain name, as such messages are not deemed to be commercial marketing email.

Supply Chain Managers Must Continue to Deal With Modest Gains in Productivity
February 11, 2013
In its preliminary fourth quarter "Report on Productivity and Labor Costs," IHS Global Insight U.S. economists suggest that both hiring and productivity will move upward…but at a snail's pace.
"The expiry of the payroll tax cut and other headwinds have left further acceleration in employment growth over the next few months unlikely," said economist, Erik Johnson. "But the underlying fundamentals in the economy are trending upward, and 2013's employment growth should at least match 2012's."
As expected, nonfarm labor productivity declined by 2.0% in the fourth quarter. Nonfarm business output grew by just 0.1% annualized, the worst showing in nearly two years, even as employee hours were up 2.2% over the previous quarter. Year-on-year, productivity growth was just 0.6%, the slowest pace of 2012. For 2012 overall, productivity growth was 1.0%, compared with 0.7% in 2011 and 3.1% in 2010.
After two quarters in which hiring lagged behind output growth, the tables turned in the fourth quarter. Despite all the fears over the fiscal cliff, employers added an average of 201,000 jobs per month, compared with 152,000 in the third quarter. Real GDP contracted, however, in part due to massive but temporary corrections in defense spending and inventories.
Coming out of the recession, companies slashed payrolls and worked their existing employees to the bone – this would explain the strong productivity figures we saw in 2009 (3.0%) and 2010 (3.1%). But firms have squeezed about as much as they can out of their workforces and have resorted to hiring more in order to raise output. Thus, productivity growth has been relatively muted over the past two years.
"With fiscal concerns lingering and foreign growth issues persisting, we expect both output and hiring to trend up modestly," said Johnson. "We expect a first-quarter rebound in output growth and gradual improvement thereafter. The result: productivity should grow around 0.5% in 2013 and drift up slowly, but it will be years before productivity returns to its long-term trend rate of 2%."

Excerpt: "To say that Ramses Barden's four-year NFL career has been a disappointment thus far would be a bit of an understatement. The 6'6'' wide receiver out of Cal Poly joined the New York Giants in 2009 as a third-round pick and many dubbed him "the next Plaxico Burress" – a huge and dangerous redzone target. Those expectations have never been lived up to.
In 29 games, Barden has hauled in only 29 receptions for 394 yards and has a grand total of zero touchdowns. His best game, which accounted for most of those numbers, came in week three against the Carolina Panthers when injuries forced him into the start role. In a 36-7 victory, Barden caught nine passes for 138 yards. It was the first and only glimpse Giants fans ever got of his potential … but then he vanished back to the bench.
Soon to be an unrestricted free agents, Barden's time in New York is likely up. With Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz (RFA), Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan all likely to be back next season, and Domenik Hixon also likely to receive a new contract, there's little room left for Barden. Unless, of course, General Manager Jerry Reese and head coach Tom Coughlin feel he's still the right man for the #5 or #6 spot." Read more...

I'm from Maryland. We're not from the South, nor do we have an accent. We're also not New England, we're the Mid Atlantic. It's soda, not pop. It's a sub, not a hoagie. It's the beach not the shore and we drink water not "Wooder". It's acceptable to say "where y'all goin?" in short of "where are you going?" It's pizza not pie. It's DC not Washington. We know what bad traffic really looks like, how to use a traffic circle, and how to pump our own gas. We know what and where the Naval Academy is. It's not unusual to eat at a resturant with no shirts, no shoes, and your boat parked out front. We love crabs, corn, and beer. There is no place like it.

The state with the biggest identity crisis in America. Parts of it like DC and Baltimore are extremely ghetto, with two of the top 5 murder rates in the country. Balto is the heroine capital of the world. Suburbs like Potomac are Bethesda are among the richest and most well educated in the country, and populated by lawyers and doctors with preppy rich children who drive Benz's. To the far west, you have the type of hicks that live in West Virginia up in the Appalachian mountains. To the south and the east you have the kind of hicks you might find in Mississippi. In Ocean City you have retired people who decided to go live on the beach. Around the bay area, you have a lot of fisherman. Maryland may be mixed up, but the crabs are damn good.
Q: What do you get when you mix a drug dealer, a mass murderer, a nascar driver and a fisherman?

America in minature. There is basically nothing in america that won't also be found in maryland. we have the rich and the poor, farmland, beaches, cities, oceans, and bays, republicans and democrats, anything you name it. We have the orioles and the ravens who kick butt most of the time. Baltimore, which might as well be the capital, is the stronghold of maryland. in baltimore you will notice an accent that is different from the rest of the people in maryland cause yes we do say stuff like wooder instead of water. o yea, and if you live in maryland and don't eat the famous crabs, you are considered to be weird. in short, maryland is the best state to live in if you want to experience america.
person 1: i want to live in one place but still explore all of america
person 2: o just move to maryland then.

In this adventures up the cliffs of insanity, I'll recap the many deaths of Lois Lane, who should be wearing the reporter equivalent of a red shirt, the intriguing possibility that Jimmy Olsen may be a woman in the Man of Steel movie, the bad news regarding the proposed Wonder Woman television show, and the geek parenting moment of the week involving my daughter's search for a particular Pokemon.
So, Lois is murdered. Again. This time in a comic books that acts as a prequell of the Injustice: Gods Among Us game.
Last year, I wrote a satirical column for GeekDad entitled Dear DC Comics: Why Do You Keep Fridging Me? and it was signed by Lois Lane. At that point in time, Lois had died three times in one year in various alternate universe storylines and it had become somewhat ridiculous, especially as she's one of the few comic characters that the general public instantly recognizes.
One would think marketing would like to build her popularity, especially with Lois being played by Academy Award Winning Amy Adams in the Man of Steel movie.
Instead, all DC and a number of writers seem to be able to do is kill her.
This latest death is even more over the top, as it's not enough to kill Lois but also her unborn baby AND also the entire city of Metropolis and also, it's all done at the hands of a deranged Superman who's been poisoned by the Joker.
I'm kinda unsure how the Joker survives to be in the game itself because, hey, even superheroes might react badly to being tricked into killing their wife and unborn child, not to mention a whole city, and Joker has no powers and….
But I digress.
Why does Lois die so often? To make Superman angry and angsty of course. This begs the question as to why one would need an angry, angsty Superman, given the character is basically a symbol of hope and works best when portrayed that way. Superman Returns is a classic example of why angsty Superman it doesn't work.
But writers seem bound and determined to do it anyway. Continue Reading "The Cliffs of Insanity: Omigod, They Killed Lois! Those Bastards!" »

BEESERIOUS, I am thinking about making a trip to visit family in TN next winter so it might be a possibility that I could drive to FL and pick up 2 trailers.
That is if I could piggyback one on the other? Then you would only have to drive to North Idaho to pick it up!
Trevor, I would be interested in the link as well. Thanks!

Attacks on the Press 2002: Nepal
Political turmoil and an intensified Maoist insurgency severely strained Nepal's young democracy and profoundly challenged the country's independent media. In November 2001, the government, then led by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, imposed a state of emergency, introduced a sweeping anti-terrorism ordinance, and called out the army to counter the mounting threat posed by Maoist rebels. Each of these actions had serious repercussions for the press in 2002. Under the state of emergency, in effect until late August, press freedom and other civil liberties were suspended. The anti-terrorism ordinance--formally known as the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Control and Punishment) Ordinance and commonly referred to as TADO--identifies the Maoist faction of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN-M) as a terrorist group and allows for the arrest of anyone "in contact with" or "supportive of" the rebels. More than 100 journalists were detained during 2002 under these broad provisions, which remain in force. The government also introduced reporting guidelines, banning anything "likely to create hatred against [the] Royal Nepal Army, police, and civil servants, and lower their morale and dignity."
