The celebration is an opportunity to thank the UT System and friends of UTSA in the Texas House and Senate and the Bexar County legislative delegation, who were instrumental in securing funding for the new engineering building. The 150,000-square-foot facility will include research and teaching laboratories, classrooms and academic support facilities as part of one of the fastest growing engineering programs in Texas. The academic facility is key in helping the College of Engineering achieve its 10-year goal to double student enrollment from 2,000 to 4,000 students and double research funding, currently at $5 million per year.
The strategic plan, "A Shared Vision: UTSA 2016," is a roadmap to advance knowledge and change lives. The plan will help shape UTSA's future and redefine the educational landscape of South Texas, guiding the university toward premier research university status with enrollment of 35,000 and $100 million annually in research funding from grants and sponsored programs.
For those unable to attend, view a live webcast of the "UTSA: Celebrating the Vision" ceremony.
Parking lot 7 closed Monday, Nov. 5 for ceremony
UTSA parking lot 7, south of the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering (BSE) Building, 1604 Campus, will be closed Monday, Nov. 5 until noon because of the special ceremony in the BSE Building. The closing is to accommodate special guests of UTSA attending the ceremony.
Realizing there will be temporary inconvenience with the lot closure, faculty and staff members are asked to keep in mind the spirit of UTSA hospitality and the special celebration of the future of the university.

Stairs at Science Building, 1604 Campus
Board of Regents approve funds for UTSA campus expansion
By Marianne Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Aug. 10, 2006)--The UT System Board of Regents today approved nearly $39.2 million for new facilities and upgrades to existing classrooms and laboratories at UTSA.
The funds allocated to academic and health institutions in the UT System are part of $505.7 million in bond proceeds from two sources -- $423.7 million from Permanent University Fund (PUF) bonds and $82 million from UT System revenue financing system bonds.

"These resources are essential for UTSA as we move to become a premier research university," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "The Board of Regents' approval of expansion at the university demonstrates their commitment to expanding access to excellence in education for all Texans."
UTSA was allocated $22.5 million for renovation to four science buildings that house laboratories for earth and life physical science and small animals. These include the Science Building and three laboratories built in 1975. Work in the four buildings includes mechanical system upgrades and significant laboratory renovations.
The board also allocated $8.25 million for the Engineering Building Phase II project planned for the 1604 Campus. During the last special session, the Texas Legislature approved more than $74 million in tuition revenue bonds (TRBs) for construction, representing 90 percent of the needed funding for the $82.5 million engineering facility.
The board allocated $2.2 million for campus repair and rehabilitation projects. UTSA will use nearly half of this allocation to replace the existing cooling towers at the thermal energy plant on the 1604 Campus. The remainder of the funds will be used for various safety and facility upgrades at the 1604 and Downtown campuses to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) .
The board allocated an additional $6.22 million for the UTSA University Center Expansion Phase III project, slated to begin construction this year.
In other action, the board approved UTSA's request to move forward with plans to offer a Ph.D. in psychology. The program is designed to prepare students to be leading professionals in the field of psychology with a strong background in psychological theory, research methods, techniques of statistical analysis and grant-writing components.
Additionally, UTSA's request to rename a portion of John Peace Boulevard as UTSA Circle was approved. The renamed section is the circle drive in front of the Main Building on the 1604 Campus. UTSA expects to use "One UTSA Circle" as the university's primary address.
UTSA also received the board's approval to name a new street on the 1604 Campus in honor of former UT System Regent Sam Barshop. Expected to be completed in January 2007, Sam Barshop Boulevard will run north and south, parallel to Babcock Road.

found a few pics, but they wont load to my photobucket account.http://www.allcarnews.com/article/mercedes-amg-cl-cass/
Amazing, I never really cared for the body of the old CL at all, this one looks so much like and yet I like it alot. Its amazing the difference a few lines can make.
I really like that too. Sleek!
looks great, but it just amazes me though how much they look more japanese. The front lights make me think something cross between tC and GS350. And the rear tail lights make me think RL again. If it wasn't for the grill and front air dam I'd think it was some new thing from toyota by just looking at the front.
WOW! It reminds me so much of the CL before the current one. I like that.
It looks ok to me, but paying that much for a CL i wouldn't buy it b/c it looks like any old everyday car. It needs that little something extra in the styling that makes spectators say wow that's a good looking car. I want one.


text: cleankim here, found lots of info I can use. Thanks to all who post. I am in Florida and started my first hive in March of this year. Using no chemicals and top bar for the most part. One hive is a Kenyan, my favorite so far. Built a viewing window so dont have to get into it as often as the other 2.


text: I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has donated to help support this website! In the few months that we have had the donation system in operation, we have never failed to meet our quota and have always been able to pay TDH's bills! While we appreciate every donation, large or small, there have been a couple of people who have consistently funneled in large sums to help support us. I won't name any names, but you know who you are and we really appreciate it. I especially want to thank those who are "sellers" here who have turned some of the money they have made from Fett replicas back around and invested it in this site. And thank you to everyone for showing us that you want TDH to be here and that you are happy with we are providing. We hope that we will continue to do so for a long time!

On Tuesday, 3 days ago, I got stung and made some mistakes. I was preparing my hives for the winter and have small hive beetle in my last inspection.
My set up prior to Tuesday: I have two hives on a pallet about 18 inches apart. Each hive was one deep and three mediums.
On Tuesday: I went completely through one hive and put two beetle trap per box. Got stung at bottom box. I removed one medium and moved all full frames down and to the remain two full frames to place in second hive. On top of the last super box i placed my inner cover on top of that I placed a top feeder then my outer top cover.
On the second hive I placed the medium from the first hive one top and a bee escape below two mediums ( one from each hive)
Today I arrived to see alot of fighting at the top of my hives. The hive with the feeder had yellow jackets at the top trying to get in. I assume there was enough of a gap between the outer cover and the feeder to allow access. Inside the feeder the entire surface was covered with dead drowned bees. In the second hive the bees were escaping the top as soon as i opened it. There was a large amount of dead bees on the bee escape as well. I removed the feeder from the first hive and the extra partial full box ( one built out frame) from the second hive as well as the bee escape. The hive are now compressed down to just full boxes.
I am concerned the two hives are robbing each other. My plan is in the morning I am going to put on an entrance reducer, then in a few days re-add the feeders and place beetle traps in second hive.
Is there anything else I can do, and how bad as this mistake?
Thanks in advance.

The Federal Government Supports HIV Testing Programs.
Federal Testing Programs
HIV Testing Programs
Taking an HIV test is the only way for a person to find out whether he or she is infected. Although the thought of taking an HIV test makes many people nervous, there are programs that can help them through the process. The Federal government works with local community organizations to provide and support HIV testing programs and initiatives.
Testing as Prevention
One of the best ways to control the spread of HIV is to identify people who are infected and get them into care. So HIV counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) is a critical part of any successful HIV prevention program. For a list of HIV testing resources, see the National Prevention Information Network's (NPIN) HIV/AIDS Counseling, Testing, and Referral (CTR) .


text: I started beekeeping last year.I have to hives one is 2 deeps and medium and the other is 3 mediums.They look strong as they where flying yesterday,havent really opened it up just to take little peek. I have read alot about doing splits and checkerboarding and opening the blood nest. So my question is as a new beek ,what is the best way to open the blood nest and or do the checkerboarding.The one hive Im thinking I want to keep the queens generics ,she a laying machine.Should I put her in nuc with blood and let them raise there own? Thank you.

That is begging to be SBR.
If it hit's the fan . . . that would make a handy tool. Lots of power in a smallish package. Did you make the front end or is it a DSA?
That is begging to be SBR.
I made one similar with an Imbel para kit and a DS Arms front end. It's the early DS Arms front end with 4140 steel for the barrel. The newer DS Arms barrels are better 4150 steel. The early DS Arms shorty handguards I had were plastic and melted. DS Arms has upgraded the shorty handguards since then but I haven't replaced them yet.
You need to make a dropleg holster for that awsome thing. Take it in the holster next time you go shooting. Oh yea, that is BADA$$
Man , what a beast. I like it as long as someone else dose the trigger work.

Sheriff's Corner: Vehicle vs. deer collisions
If you travel in or around northern Minnesota, more than likely you have been involved in a vehicle vs. deer collision, or you know someone who has.
If you haven't, maybe you have read our weekly media blotter and notice that car vs. deer collisions have been higher than normal the past few months. We have noticed a significant increase in vehicle vs. deer collisions resulting in crashes with injuries as well as crashes involving significant property damage.
The most common and dangerous animal to encounter on roadways in Minnesota are deer, and the deadliest time of year is late summer and fall. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are about 1.5 million car accidents with deer each year that kill 200 Americans, cause more than 10,000 personal injuries, and result in $1 billion in vehicle damage.
We found that the average collision with a deer produces more than $3,000 worth of damages. In 2012, the Cass County Sheriff's Office responded to 193 incidents involving deer vs. vehicle collisions and so far in 2013 we have responded to 86 incidents. Statewide there are approximately 90,000 incidents per year involving deer and motor vehicles.
Don't swerve
The leading cause of accidents, injuries and deaths from deer-related accidents is when vehicles swerve in an attempt to avoid hitting a deer. Swerving can result in vehicles moving into oncoming traffic, crashing into trees and other objects or even rolling over.
While it may be against a driver's first instinct, the safest thing to do is slow down as much as possible and let your vehicle strike the deer. Instincts tell us to avoid an obstruction in the road, but if you can train yourself not to swerve to avoid deer in the road you will keep yourself, your passengers and other drivers much safer.
Deer crossing signs are there for a reason
A few years ago, the state of Minnesota stopped installing deer crossing signs on roadways. However, there are still some signs out there. Cass County does not install deer crossing signs. Pay attention to posted deer crossing signs. These signs are placed in areas known for high deer traffic. It is important to note that even if there is no posted deer crossing sign, it is important to remain vigilant as deer may appear anywhere.
Know how deer travel
While deer can be active any time of the day, the majority of deer-related car accidents occur starting at dusk and during the evening. It is important to pay special attention at all times for deer. It is also important to always be aware that deer mostly move in groups and that when you spot one deer, it is likely that there are always more nearby.
Use high beams when possible
High beams should be used at night as much as possible to spot deer in the road ahead or deer that may along the side of the road. Make sure to use your high beams only when no other oncoming traffic is visible and make sure to turn them off if a vehicle approaches.
What to do in the event of a crash
If you do have a collision with a deer and there are no injuries to any people in your vehicle, you can call the sheriff's office non-emergency number or 911 and report the incident. If you are on a state highway, you may be transferred to a State Patrol dispatch center. You will be asked a few questions, including which roadway you are on, approximate location, license plate and driver information for the vehicle, insurance information and where the damage occurred.
If the damage can be approximated at less than $1,000, a state accident report does not need to be completed. If damages exceed $1,000 or there is any personal injury, a State Accident Report must be completed. You will also be asked if the deer is off the roadway and the roadway is clear of any debris or vehicle pieces.
In several instances, people wait to report the incident until they get home. This is fine; however, we need to make sure that the roadway is clear. Dispatch will generate a Case Number or ICR number and when you report the incident to your insurance company they will need that number for their records. The insurance company will contact our office for a copy of the report for their file.
We all know that deer can appear suddenly and without warning, but knowing how to react and where and when they are most likely to strike can greatly reduce your chances of being involved in an accident.
If you have specific questions that you would like answered in this column or in person, feel free to contact me anytime using one of the following methods: email to firstname.lastname@example.com; call 218-547-1424 or 800-450-2677; or mail/in person to the Cass County Sheriff's Office, 303 Minnesota Ave. W., PO Box #1119, Walker, MN 56484.

Hello Fellow Racers and Race Fans:
I wanted to take this time to thank everybody for the overwhelming support of me and my partners newest venture, Bubba Raceway Park Ocala. I also would like to take this time to express my gratitude towards Mike and Angie. I can not begin to tell you how wonderful Mike and Angie have been and their continued support of this race track. Mike had the vision to turn Ocala into dirt and in turn made it one of the premier dirt tracks in the south.
I would like to take this time to express to you something that I had to do and I want to be up front and honest about it. I regretfully had to raise my late model tire price from $120 to $125. A few days ago I started advertising that late model tire prices would be $120.00. That got alot of people talking, and rightfully so, but I forgot to figure in the shipping costs, so in order for me to break even, I have to raise it to $125.00. Again I am so sorry for this confusion, but unlike most track owners who give racers take it or leave it type options, I want to be up front and fair, and if i make a mistake, own up to it.. I still assure you that you won't find these tires any cheaper, and my only motive is to make racing affordable, and fun. Thank you for understanding, and please forgive me for my oversight

Twice a day, seven days a week, from February to November for the past four years, two researchers have layered themselves with thermal underwear and outerwear, with fleece, flannel, double gloves, double socks, padded overalls and puffy red parkas, mummifying themselves until they look like twin Michelin Men. Then they step outside, trading the warmth and modern conveniences of a science station (foosball, fitness center, 24-hour cafeteria) for a minus-100-degree Fahrenheit featureless landscape, flatter than Kansas and one of the coldest places on the planet. They trudge in darkness nearly a mile, across a plateau of snow and ice, until they discern, against the backdrop of more stars than any hands-in-pocket backyard observer has ever seen, the silhouette of the giant disk of the South Pole Telescope, where they join a global effort to solve possibly the greatest riddle in the universe: what most of it is made of.
From This Story
Related Content
For thousands of years our species has studied the night sky and wondered if anything else is out there. Last year we celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo's answer: Yes. Galileo trained a new instrument, the telescope, on the heavens and saw objects that no other person had ever seen: hundreds of stars, mountains on the Moon, satellites of Jupiter. Since then we have found more than 400 planets around other stars, 100 billion stars in our galaxy, hundreds of billions of galaxies beyond our own, even the faint radiation that is the echo of the Big Bang.
Now scientists think that even this extravagant census of the universe might be as out-of-date as the five-planet cosmos that Galileo inherited from the ancients. Astronomers have compiled evidence that what we've always thought of as the actual universe—me, you, this magazine, planets, stars, galaxies, all the matter in space—represents a mere 4 percent of what's actually out there. The rest they call, for want of a better word, dark: 23 percent is something they call dark matter, and 73 percent is something even more mysterious, which they call dark energy.
"We have a complete inventory of the universe," Sean Carroll, a California Institute of Technology cosmologist, has said, "and it makes no sense."
Scientists have some ideas about what dark matter might be—exotic and still hypothetical particles—but they have hardly a clue about dark energy. In 2003, the National Research Council listed "What Is the Nature of Dark Energy?" as one of the most pressing scientific problems of the coming decades. The head of the committee that wrote the report, University of Chicago cosmologist Michael S. Turner, goes further and ranks dark energy as "the most profound mystery in all of science."
The effort to solve it has mobilized a generation of astronomers in a rethinking of physics and cosmology to rival and perhaps surpass the revolution Galileo inaugurated on an autumn evening in Padua. They are coming to terms with a deep irony: it is sight itself that has blinded us to nearly the entire universe. And the recognition of this blindness, in turn, has inspired us to ask, as if for the first time: What is this cosmos we call home?
Scientists reached a consensus in the 1970s that there was more to the universe than meets the eye. In computer simulations of our galaxy, the Milky Way, theorists found that the center would not hold—based on what we can see of it, our galaxy doesn't have enough mass to keep everything in place. As it rotates, it should disintegrate, shedding stars and gas in every direction. Either a spiral galaxy such as the Milky Way violates the laws of gravity, or the light emanating from it—from the vast glowing clouds of gas and the myriad stars—is an inaccurate indication of the galaxy's mass.
But what if some portion of a galaxy's mass didn't radiate light? If spiral galaxies contained enough of such mystery mass, then they might well be obeying the laws of gravity. Astronomers dubbed the invisible mass "dark matter."
"Nobody ever told us that all matter radiated,"Vera Rubin, an astronomer whose observations of galaxy rotations provided evidence for dark matter, has said. "We just assumed that it did."
The effort to understand dark matter defined much of astronomy for the next two decades. Astronomers may not know what dark matter is, but inferring its presence allowed them to pursue in a new way an eternal question: What is the fate of the universe?

Elizabethton tech school instructors charged
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - The Carter County Sheriff's Office arrested two men, both instructors at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Elizabethton.
After a lengthy investigation, the two men are facing various charges.
Sheriff Chris Mathes says David Simerly threatened to slap a fellow employee because he believed his co-worker was giving information to a private investigator regarding another incident.
Joseph Churchwell, who is also an instructor at the school, is accused of stealing metal and other parts from the school, then taking them to a recycling facility and keeping the profits.
"Continuing that investigation has led to the arrests of two individuals. They were instructors at the school, so we're still continuing to investigate," says Sheriff Mathes.
We contacted the school for a comment, but no one returned our calls.

WASHINGTON -- Tim Lincecum didn't utter a negative word when he was moved to the bullpen during the 2012 postseason, opting instead to turn into a relief star as the Giants streaked to a World Series title.
Two years later, the franchise once again has a decision to make with Lincecum's rotation spot, but there are many more layers to this one. Every rotation shortens for a postseason, but to pull a starter during the regular season -- especially one as decorated as Lincecum -- would be a much different kind of slap to the face.
Manager Bruce Bochy wasn't ready to make that move after Lincecum recorded just eight outs in a 6-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Saturday. But he wasn't willing to commit to Lincecum making his next start, either.
"Right now, I prefer to talk to the player, the staff and everybody else," Bochy said. "I prefer, instead of going through the papers here, to go talk about it internally."
The discussion was often in the background in 2012 and 2013 as Lincecum struggled to find consistency with diminished stuff. But the Giants believed a correction was coming, so fervently that they gave Lincecum two years and $35 million to keep him off the market last October. It looked like a savvy decision in the first half. As much a rock star in San Francisco as ever, Lincecum threw a no-hitter and was so effective (9-5, 3.66 ERA) that no one blinked when Bochy bumped him up to the third spot in the rotation after the All-Star break.
In seven starts since, Lincecum is 1-4 with an 8.24 ERA. The Nationals had six hits in 13 at-bats against Lincecum, who is allowing opposing batters to hit .341 in the second half.
The 30-year-old bared his soul after the loss, saying his outing was, "Pretty horse (bleep). Yeah, it was just horse (bleep)."
Lincecum dropped his head when talking about a 2-0 lead he gave back in the first inning. The Giants got a two-run shot from Hunter Pence two batters into the game but trailed 6-2 when Lincecum walked off the mound shortly thereafter.
"I kind of screwed us over," he said. "I mean, I really screwed us over."
With his team fighting for playoff positioning on a nightly basis, Bochy knows he can't allow this to go on much longer. Lincecum senses that, too, and said he wouldn't fight a move to the bullpen or a skipped start or two.
"If that ends up happening, it does, and I'm just going to have to work with it. If it doesn't, I'm just going to get back on board and work twice as hard to get my stuff right," he said. "That's really all I can do right now. I'll just lean on whatever Boch says and whatever they're going to do with the move.
"I'll just be all ears and be on board for whatever it takes. I just want to win. Obviously I want to get myself out of this, but it's for the team."
Lincecum, the face of the franchise for so many years, wore a look of anguish as he recalled yet another disappointing night. He gave up two runs in the first and an inning later allowed three more -- two of which were unearned because of Pablo Sandoval's first error in 74 games. Asdrubal Cabrera added a solo homer in the third.
Bochy sees mechanical issues with Lincecum, an inability to get the ball where he wants and an inclination to fall off the mound toward his glove side. Lincecum said the woes go deeper. He is thinking too much on the mound.
"My head is getting in the way of me," he said.
That was clear as Lincecum walked four and threw two wild pitches. In 321/3 second-half innings, he has 18 walks. By comparison, long reliever and spot starter Yusmeiro Petit has retired 38 consecutive batters after throwing 41/3 perfect innings in relief of Lincecum. Petit is seven outs short of the MLB record, but he has his warts, as well, namely a 6.32 ERA in six starts this season.
"It's a small sample size," Bochy said. "We'll discuss all that, everything -- and we'll see what the best option is here."
Lincecum hopes to get another chance and believes he can dig out of this hole eventually. He has done it many times over the past three seasons.
"It sucks to have to keep going on this up-and-down roller coaster ride of outings, but it's something where I find confidence in knowing that I should be able to get out of this," he said. "I'm still tenacious and competitive enough to work through it and not let it get to me, or at least not get the best of me."

I started reading about wine making in the fall of '09.
Made my first batch in August of 2010; a Peach wine - 12 gallons from 150lbs of peaches.
Along came various other flavors; Blackberry, Blackberry-Cherry, Red Raspberry, Gold Raspberry, Apple-Pear, Riesling (wine grape)
Then I started leaning towards honey, and mead. Lots to learn, lots to try - I've tried my best to soak it all up.
So I read about this style of mead, called Bochet (beau-shay). Basically, it's boiling the honey with a small amount of water (to reduce spitting) until the sugars caramelize. 'Traditionally', its caramelized until the honey is black and something more akin to tree pitch than it is the original honey you start with. I wasn't looking for that severe of a 'Bochet', and upon my learning had pinpointed a few different levels of caramelization that I wanted to try; one referred to as 'Red' & the other as 'Gold'.
I'm working with a really light, floral, PNW Blackberry honey
So I tried this experiment;
Took the first one to 'Red'
5 Minutes of heat
30 Minutes of boiling
45 Minutes of boiling
Color plate; 5-30-45 minutes
SG came in low @ 1.060 ~
But thats okay, as this is an experiment / top-up mead for a later batch
Rehydrated EC-1118 (neutral-ish profile) into Go-Ferm; added Fermaid-O yeast nutrient to the 'must' (liquid pre-mead)
Twas definitely red
Tastes and smells of caramel, coffee, toffee & some toasted/campfire kind of notes
Then I rinsed/repeated the whole process for a 'Gold' caramelization, although I dont have pictures of the boiling process.
Same treatment; rehydrate EC-1118 with Go-Ferm, Fermaid-O in the must
Here's the 'Gold' in primary:
They both fermenting separately, but they were blended for the finish
Separate from this, I had some bananas:
40lbs of them
And they ripened
And ripened some more;
Then BAM! Here's some brandy:
The bananas that didnt fit in the 1/2 gallon of brandy (in a 1-gallon jug), approx 15 of the 40lbs, went into the Red + Gold Bochet 1.75 gallon experimental batch

Playboy's been heating up the cold winter months and bringing some light and comfort to dark Decembers via many a holiday-themed shoot, lo these 60 years. Sample some of the best!

For 60 years, Playboy's been heating up the cold winter months and bringing some light and comfort to dark Decembers via many a holiday-themed shoot. Let the Ghost of Sexy Christmas Past take us back to see the very best in both holiday and wintry December Playboy pictorials in this special countdown to the greatest Playboy Christmas pictorial of them all.
Janet Pilgrim got her start working in Playboy's circulation and subscription department before posing in the magazine. Janet was soon a hit with the fans and became the prototype of the "girl next door" approach for future Playmates. She was so popular that for a time, Playboy offered a personal phone call from Miss Pilgrim to anyone who bought a lifetime subscription to the magazine! Janet Pilgrim was featured three times in the pages of Playboy in July 1955, December 1955 and October 1956. Her December 1955 appearance and her beguiling pic next to the Christmas tree win her a spot on our list this year.
Actress and glamour model Linda Vargas was a Chicago native whose steamy charm was enough to heat up the cold, windy Midwestern metropolis. For the December 1957 issue her hot-blooded lusciousness wasn't enough to fight the chills she might have caught posing in her birthday suit, therefore they built her a large roaring fire to lounge in front of.
{"pbembedwidget":"gallery","id":"15393","size":"large","alignment":"left"} 4. Crowned Miss Indiana in the state beauty pageant, June Cochran went on to become 1963's Playmate of the Year. Just a year before becoming PMOY, June was America's holiday gift in the December 1962 issue of Playboy. Her pictorial remains timeless: she rolls in the snow, poses with a tree ornament and shows her sophisticated self in some fine furs. Was this the best Christmas present the nation's ever gotten?
Why have visions of sugarplums dancing in your head when you can enjoy these plum gals instead? Get to know them all a little better in the gallery above. Meet us back here next week as we present the rest of our Christmas countdown.


text: Well after a quite heated debate on treatment free I must say my first year so far has been a good success. I only feed when necessary and have put no foundations or foreign substances in any of my five hives. My mite count might as well be null because there might be one here or there. No wax moths or nosema to speak of. I have had to do a little manipulation with a couple of the hives that wanted to make a little messed up combs, but that was very quick and easy. They are now getting into the fall flow and looking very healthy and happy. I found out making my own equipment was the best way to go. Next year I will start splitting these hives as many times as possible to enhance my yard. Why waste money when you let bees be bees.

M/T were skating very well and had gotten through some of their difficult elements, even after the strap broke, prior to the skate being stopped, which seemed to help their confidence and composure when a stop was called. It's possible this will help their confidence even more - they were skating well, were interrupted and were able to resume with no real trouble.
I have to say these two pairs - S&S and M&T, are sort of examples of how the right music is important. For M&T, I think Love Story helps her skate, and for S&S, Out of Africa helps them skate essentially the same program as before much more securely.
BTW - what happened to D/D's spin at the end? I could see the end part of the combination wasn't working, but I couldn't see why. In the KissNCry Bryce was saying something about their arms, but when I rewatched I couldn't see that either.
Oh - another D/D question - does Jessica do the "Cue" calls in the sbs spins? That's one of my favorite parts of pairs, when teams do sbs and above the music you hear a voice calling the changes. Usualy it's the guy but I'd swear with D&D it sounds like Jessica.

Like I said after the SP, the Germans are the class of the field, which they proved once again, kudos to them.
That said, so are S&Z (though I haven't watched any of their programs this season as of yet, but I don't have to, I just know, lol). Seriously, it will be a battle between the Germans & the Chinese for gold at the Olympics, hopefully they both make it one for the ages.
That said, I honestly don't care who wins, just as long as it is one of them, and the winner equally skates great, just like G&G did against M&D in 1994. At the time I thought M&D should have won due to their drama & more technical prowess. Yet, I can see how G&G won, so I thought the result was correct. I wasn't up in arms about it, just as I hope not to be at this upcoming Olympics for pairs.
p.s. though I must say I do have a tug at my heart for S&Z due to their coming back after injury, staying in at their ages, et al. Lol, I'm just a sucker for comeback stories, especially when one is older (ala Plushenko, et al). They truly do have the heart of a champion (e.g. Julia Sebestian).
Thanks to S/Z, under the pressure of S/Z's comeback,
SS finally got a clean LP, finally. nice, well done!
The temperature of pairs competition is rising...
Good news for all ice-fans.
By the way, the 10 point is just ridiculous.
This pairs competition makes me wish D&D had gone to a real pairs coach a long time ago. Their wish for this program was to involve the audience emotionally in a star-crossed love story theme, but their thunder has been stolen by S&S who have the exact same theme skated with nicer music (IMO D&D's sounds like muzak) and more conviction. Even the Russians M&T have kind of the same idea, and are scoring higher. After I watched Cynthia Paneuf kersplat in her lp, I'm thinking Annie Barabe is great for her skaters' morale but not so great for their skating. There's really no one thing that D&D need improvement on IMO - all of their elements are very good to decent - mostly. It's tying it all together with command and authority all the way through that's missing so far.
Well, that kid having one of the worst screeching temper tantrums during Jess and Bryce's LP didn't help matters. When everyone can hear...
Didn't help matters for them and that's only a wee bit of what was heard, as it went on for at least a good minute and a half.
For the first time ever, Aliona and Robin gave me the chills!! Once they get some more mileage on it, it's going to be even better. About time they got a program that not only fits w/them, but that connects w/the audience as well. W/all of the unique themes they've done the last few years, that's been a bit of a problem for them, but not w/this LP!!
As wonderful as it was to see Annabelle and Cody out there again, I am worried that their music might be a bit too "big" for them. It just seemed they weren't able to skate up to it as the music began to build through the program. I hope I'm wrong, but I am concerned.
As for the comments that even Aliona and Robin seemed slow on Saturday...
It was freezing on Saturday in The Aud and due to that, I'm convinced the ice was way too hard. Think of Torino and the OD w/all of the stumbles and boo boos.
I mean...When I notice that Bryce is doing what I call "Careful Footwork"/having to really think about blade placement during one of their lifts in the warm ups and then see the other male skaters doing the exact same thing? The alarm bells started dinging. All of the skating sounded far more scratchy than it should have too.
Friday and Sunday though, the building was at a comfortable temperture and the performances showed it too. Nope, I'm convinced that the ice was too hard Saturday and in turn...
JMO of course, but there it is.
The parent or adult should have removed that kid. That's just unfair.
I wonder if the ice on Saturday contributed to Tessa's two early slips. Once she got her legs under her it was fine but those were two very fast transition segments (the second one included being turned by Scott) in the early going.
As for Tessa's stumbles, I started wondering about the ice when I could hear Tessa and Scott's blades when they went by us during the Warm Up. They're so smooth and have such great basics, that you usually don't hear them when they're going by. Saturday afternoon, you could.
That's when I started wondering. Then Tessa's stumbles happened and then I saw the guys doing "Careful Footwork" during lifts and...The alarm bells started dinging. I'm almost positiive once you factor in the warmer temps in the rink on Friday and Sunday, plus the quality performances we saw those days compared to Saturday when it was freezing and...
It's just a theory and JMO, but....I'm just saying. That's all.

Over the years I've been accumulating some wax that is dark in color. It's color is more towards the brown shades than the yellow. Is there any further rendering that I can do, to get it closer to the yellow side. I'd probable just make candles with it and not use it in a hive again.

Presenting an alternative to single-number evaluation methods and hour-by-hour analysis programs
In the HVAC industry, there are two basic approaches to evaluating central-chiller-plant performance: single-number evaluation methods, such as integrated part-load value, and hour-by-hour analysis programs, such as eQUEST, TRACE, and EnergyPlus. With single-number evaluation methods, chiller and cooling-tower characteristics with potentially significant impacts on plant kilowatt demand can be missed,1 while hour-by-hour analysis programs tend to be complex and time-consuming,2 generally ...

Made Right Here: Knoll
EAST GREENVILLE, Pa. - Knoll has been marrying function and fashion in its furniture design for decades.
You may have seen its chairs and other signature pieces in your office or even on the silver screen!
Did you know, Knoll is "Made Right Here" in East Greenville, Montgomery County?
You might say that Knoll specializes in cranking out comfort.
"There are only a handful of truly global office furniture manufacturers, and we are one of those few," said company President and COO Lynn Utter.
"At every station we're trying to, start to finish, build a chair every minute," said Ryan Weller of the Knoll seating department.
But beyond the swift and diligent production lines you can be sure a lot of thought went into not just how the furniture feels but how it looks.
"Knoll is known for mid-century modern design," said Utter. "We're not very fussy.
You won't find lots of frilly, overly stuffed furniture. We have a very modern aesthetic."
The company's founders, Hans and Florence Knoll, were furniture makers in New York who set out for greener pastures in East Greenville, Montgomery County in 1941.
"I think generally they found a workforce that had a craftsmanship at its core but an innovation that extended beyond that," said Utter.
They also brought in a diverse group of designers from around the world to work their magic.
"Mies van der Rohe and Saarinen and Florence Knoll, literally the list goes on and on," said Utter.
Van der Rohe's iconic Barcelona chair is still a favorite today especially among "tough guys."
It was featured in Iron Man 2 and 007 himself took a load off his feet in "Casino Royale."
That's not to say Knoll doesn't know how to cater to the average office dweller.
"Think traditional cubicle systems, desking, task seating, that sort of thing," said Utter.
And Knoll's commitment to outfitting an ever-changing workplace hasn't gone unnoticed.
"We are the only furniture company to have won the Cooper Hewiit National Design Award. That's an award given to the likes of companies like Apple, Nike and Google," said Utter.
Although Knoll's reach extends well beyond its Pennsylvania headquarters the company hasn't forgotten where it came from.
"Knoll has six manufacturing facilities around the globe. We do business literally in almost every continent," said Utter.
Some of its best known creations are on display at a museum in East Greenville.
"The Barcelona chair, the womb chair, the Saarinen series, Florence Knoll series," said Utter.
And a timeline tells the tale of how it all began when a couple of partners-- in business and in life--- set out to build a different kind of furniture company right here in Montgomery County.

|Social Explorer, U.S. Census Bureau; 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Summary File 3: Technical Documentation, 2002.
|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Housing Characteristics -> Plumbing Facilities
The data on plumbing facilities were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 39, which was asked on a sample basis at both occupied and vacant housing units. Complete plumbing facilities include: (1) hot and cold piped water, (2) a flush toilet, and (3) a bathtub or shower. All three facilities must be located inside the house, apartment, or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room. Housing units are classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three facilities is not present.
The 1990 census and Census 2000 data on complete plumbing facilities are not strictly comparable with the 1980 data. Before 1990, complete plumbing facilities were defined as hot and cold piped water, a bathtub or shower, and a flush toilet in the housing unit for the exclusive use of the residents of that unit. In 1990, the Census Bureau dropped the requirement of exclusive use from the definition of complete plumbing facilities. Of the 2.3 million year-round housing units classified in 1980 as lacking complete plumbing for exclusive use, approximately 25 percent of these units had complete plumbing but the facilities also were used by members of another household. From 1940 to 1970, separate and more detailed questions were asked on piped water, bathing, and toilet facilities. Prior to 1990, questions on plumbing facilities were asked on a 100-percent basis. In 1990 and Census 2000, they were asked on a sample basis.

|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Population Characteristics -> Race -> American Indian or Alaska Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below.
American Indian
This category includes people who indicated their race as "American Indian," entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish American Indian.
American Indian tribe
Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self-identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997, Federal Register Notice, entitled " Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs," Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Alaska Native
This category includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race.


text: I can't really see Mara doing anything if the Giants get picked for Hard Knocks, except accepting it. He can scream, shout or yell, but not much else. Especially after the NFL played a Super Bowl at MetLife earlier this year, which probably put more money in his pocket and put more money into the New York/New Jersey area. If Mara ever wants to host another Super Bowl, which he probably does, fighting the NFL about the Giants being on Hard Knocks isn't the way to go about doing.

Great location.
Nice apartment well located.
Superb location in the middle of "everything" so there is a short walking distance no matter where you want to go.
Greta was a great host and the apartment has everything you need for a short stay.
Greta was a very nice host. Even if I had to stay at another place because of the heater problem of the original place I booked, Greta let me know beforehand and offered me another place instead. The apartment I stayed at was very clean and new. Greta answered my messages whenever there was a problem. She made my stay very pleasant. Thank you.
Thank you Greta for letting us stay in your lovely apt. We had a very good time and the apt was really nice!

A few days earlier, the hostess told us that the apartment had malfunctioned and would not be available, offered us another of his apartment, appears here as Luxury Residance near Danube or luxury apartment along the Danube, Greta greeted and served perfectly and the We loved apartment, very comfortable beds, a large and comfortable sofa to sleep even another person, a fully equipped kitchen and all tastefully decorated, very nice, the situation; 10 minutes from Parliament but also both the metro and tram are next. In short, we loved it, greta thanks!
Unos días antes, la anfitriona nos avisó de que el apartamento había tenido una avería y no estaría disponible, nos ofreció otro de sus apartamentos, aparece aquí como Luxury Residance near Danube o lujoso apartamento junto al danubio, Greta nos recibió y atendió perfectamente y el apartamento nos encantó, las camas muy cómodas, un sofá grande y cómodo incluso para dormir otra persona, una cocina totalmente equipada y todo decorado con mucho gusto, muy bonito, la situación; a 10 minutos del parlamento pero además tanto el metro como el tranvía están al lado. En resumen, nos encantó, gracias greta!
Proper receipt and monitoring for host (s) Location of exit of metro ie fast connections to city, busy road with lots of noise by police zwaailichten.Gammele lift.Studio looks modern with Ikea furniture, but too small for 3 adults and 1 baby , no (promised) baby chair, bed in living and 'bedroom' is more a 'loft', not very neat:. (Dirt in kitchen Cigarette butt under bed although non-smoking apartment 2 burner electric fire, no washing machine but laundry in.? slightly further away. single Hungarian TV stations, DVD.
Correcte ontvangst en opvolging vanwege gastvrouw(en) Ligging aan uitgang van metro dwz snelle verbindingen naar stad, drukke weg met veel politie-lawaai door zwaailichten.Gammele lift.Studio oogt modern met Ikea-meubels, maar te klein voor 3 volwassenen en 1 baby, geen (beloofde) babystoel, bed in living en 'slaapkamer' is eerder een 'hok', niet erg netjes:(. Vuil in keukenkast. Sigarettenpeuk onder bed hoewel niet-rokers appartement? 2 pits elektrisch vuur, geen wasmachine maar wasserette in iets verdere buurt. TV enkel Hongaarse posten, DVD aanwezig.
We spent a great new years weekend at this place. It was clean and nice and Greta was really helpful. It is only a short walk from the metro and a market across the street is a good place to by breakfast for the mornings. We had some trouble finding the right "door" at the location so make sure you have all the details ready when you leave home- and your internet :)

Just over ten years ago, Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann announced that they had devised a way to carry out nuclear fusion on a tabletop—and captured the attention of the world. Two humble chemists, it seemed, had uncovered a simple solution to the thorny problem of making hydrogen isotopes combine and release energy in a controlled fashion. The breakthrough promised to provide humanity with an essentially unlimited power source. Their ingenious method had apparently eluded physicists, who for decades had spent billions of dollars on fusion power research without practical result. Several weeks after the initial news conference, more sober assessments of the work of Pons and Fleischmann showed little evidence that fusion reactions had actually taken place, and most scientists lost interest in the lingering debates about cold fusion.
The notoriety of this episode in the history of science obscures another effort to produce tabletop fusion reactions that is more interesting and, in fact, successful. Although not quite as unassuming as the electrochemical cell that Pons and Fleischmann used, a rather elementary device can generate nuclear fusion using a technique called inertial electrostatic confinement. Indeed, the equipment is so straightforward to build that production models will soon go on sale, albeit not as power generators but as convenient sources of neutrons. Homebrew versions of this same fusion apparatus have even been built by amateurs.
The roots of this technology reach into the 1950s, when the first patent application for a novel fusion device was filed by the very person who earlier ushered in another technical marvel: the boob tube. Now recognized as the father of electronic television, Philo Farnsworth, a self-taught inventor, spent the later portion of his life investigating whether a machine that is not so different from a television picture tube could be harnessed to produce fusion reactions.
Whereas a picture tube shoots electrons into a phosphor-coated screen, Farnsworth's patent called for an "evacuated spherical electron tube" that accelerates the particles into a central zone. The cloud of negative charge in turn attracts positively charged deuterium or tritium ions toward the center, where they collide at high velocity. Although only a few nuclei hit with enough energy to allow fusion, the ions that fail to combine the first time will continue to crisscross the central region under the influence of the inward-pointing electric field. This focusing effect gives the accelerated ions multiple opportunities to fuse without losing significant energy during the failed collisions.
Robert Hirsch, a physicist Farnsworth hired in 1964, simplified the early design to accelerate the ions directly, making the device more efficient, although it was still far short of being a net producer of power. Asked to address the agency then charged with establishing nuclear research priorities, the Atomic Energy Commission, Hirsch hoped to demonstrate the value of funding further work on inertial electrostatic confinement fusion. So he mounted his prototype on a stainless-steel dessert cart and wheeled the contraption into the conference room. "Just plugging it into the wall, I think I produced 105 neutrons per second," Hirsch recalls. (His more carefully controlled trials in 1967 yielded more than 1010 neutrons per second, a benchmark that has yet to be beaten by the modern versions of this device.) Yet the AEC proved unreceptive. "I underestimated the resistance," Hirsch notes, explaining how it was difficult even then for the nuclear research establishment to consider seriously techniques other than the two now-entrenched approaches to fusion power: magnetic and inertial laser confinement.
Despite the lack of attention—and funding—some physicists have spent much of the last decade trying to revive interest in Farnsworth's second invention. George Miley of the University of Illinois, for example, has worked on inertial electrostatic confinement for several years. He and his corporate partners at DaimlerChrysler Aerospace have used this method to build a compact neutron generator, one they plan to start selling within months. "End users are wary of isotopic sources," says John Sved, the project manager at DaimlerChrysler, referring to the means some others employ (a radioactive isotope such as californium-252) to generate neutrons. Others in need of these particles, say, for conducting neutron-activation analysis, must place their samples in a nuclear reactor. So having a portable neutron source that can be flipped on and off with the push of a button would be a great advantage. Although switchable neutron generators (small particle accelerators) are available commercially, Sved anticipates that his product, lacking the usual solid target for the speeding ions, will have a longer service life.
Richard Nebel and his colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory are also constructing an inertial electrostatic fusion device. They anticipate that their equipment will prove useful in the short run as a high-intensity neutron source for characterizing radioactive materials. Over the longer term, these physicists hope they can refine the basic concept to the point where inertial electrostatic fusion could produce useful amounts of power.
Robert W. Bussard, a physicist who founded the Energy/Matter Conversion Corporation of San Diego (which goes by the clever acronym EMC2) is also experimenting with inertial electrostatic confinement fusion. The U.S. Navy has supported him with about $4 million since 1995, in hopes that this technique will someday provide a compact fusion power source. Although practical realization may be far off, Alan Roberts, the official in charge of this Navy research program notes, "You can't put a tokamak on a ship."
Could Farnsworth's dream of generating fusion energy using a technique spawned from the development of the television set ever become a reality? The people now pursuing this approach are understandably enthusiastic. But Hirsch, who left lab work for a career in management three decades ago, has perhaps a more compelling perspective. He asks why the government has largely neglected various methods (like inertial electrostatic confinement systems) that are small in scale and could be studied for much less money than is now being spent on the colossal facilities needed to advance magnetic and laser fusion. And given his extensive experience—as director of federal fusion research for four years and as a vice president for the Electric Power Research Institute, among other high-level posts—his question seems too important to ignore—David Schneider

Pulaski Tech had a 13 percent surge in enrollment this fall and now has more than 10,000 students.
The college's Office of Enrollment Services reported 10,257 students enrolled in college-credit classes this fall, up from 9,093 students in fall 2008.
"It's a milestone for us, definitely," said Dr. Dan F. Bakke, college president. "We expected to see more students coming in because enrollment growth has been an ongoing trend. The economy has played a big part of that. Many people who have lost their jobs are making the most of their situation by going to college - some for the first time - and others are coming back to upgrade their skills or pursue a different career altogether."
Part of the enrollment increase is from students attending the Little Rock-South site. Enrollment there is 1,491 students, up from the 900 students who enrolled last fall when the site opened.
The college also has seen an increase in the number of military personnel using education benefits provided under the new GI BIl to attend college.
With current enrollment, Pulaski Tech continues to be the state's largest two-year college and the fifth largest among all colleges and universities in the state.

UTSA athletes donate equipment to Iraq soldiers
By Brad Parrott
UTSA Associate Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
(Nov. 8, 2007)--When Ricardo Gonzalez, executive director of UTSA P-20 Initiatives, offered his assistance to Captain Lori Walker, he never dreamed that the Air Force nurse would wish for gloves, bats and balls. With the help of the UTSA baseball and softball teams, the sports equipment is on the way to Iraq.
"I met Capt. Walker on a business trip," Gonzalez said. "She had photos of Iraq and the work that they are doing in helping our troops stay alive. I told her in departing if there was any way I could assist to please contact me."

In an e-mail from Iraq, where Walker was stationed as a critical-care transport team nurse, she wrote to Gonzalez, "You asked if there was anything that we could use to let you know. We have started a softball league on base in Iraq and could use some gloves. Thank you for your offer."
Gonzalez and P-20 Initiatives program manager Manuel Maldonado work with the UTSA Athletics Department on an outreach program called Dream Runners. Maldonado accompanies UTSA student-athletes to area middle and elementary schools where they challenge youngsters to stay in school, graduate and go to college. The program is funded by a $90,000 grant from the Valero Texas Open.
When Gonzalez and Maldonado forwarded Walker's request to the Athletics Department, the baseball and softball teams jumped into action. Players called home and asked for their old gloves and equipment to be sent to school. After a couple of weeks, two large duffle bags of equipment and a bucket of softballs and baseballs were ready to be shipped to Iraq.
"This equipment will be very important," Walker said. "Baseball and softball are things the troops can do together. It's a great way to keep spirits up and work off the stress that we encounter daily. This equipment will be put to good use."
UTSA Athletic Director Lynn Hickey was pleased to have the opportunity to assist the troops and was proud of the baseball and softball teams' response. "It's our mission as an athletic department to create an environment where our student-athletes can be successful academically, athletically and socially," Hickey said. "It's important that we teach our student-athletes to be good students, athletes and citizens. It's heart warming when they respond to a community need like this."

I bet you just love it!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very nice idea - thanks for sharing
I made two of these the same way about five years ago and they are still going strong!! I love how light weight and portable these design walls are. So glad you finally have yours as well!!
Oh, and I had to cut mine down a bit too, so I took the foam bit that was leftover, covered it with some batting and made a mini design wall that holds a block or two to take to my sewing machine. This little thing comes in handy more than I would have thought!
Great design wall. I need a moving one.
I just did a search for pvc pipe portable design wall and found several sites with directions to build a 32 or 24 inch wall.
I thought I would do an update on how having a design wall has changed my sewing habits. For the last month or so I have used the right wall for a leader/ender UFO and have actually assembled 3 UFOs into flimsies in this way (almost magically!).
The left wall is used for my main project and has helped to bring 2 UFOs and one WIP to the flimsy stage.
As you can see, I've got 2 more UFOs that are being assembled this week. It is so motivating to me to fill up the wall! Sewing blocks and putting them in a pile is no where near as exciting as putting them up on the wall. I just love seeing the progress and how easy it is to flip the blocks whenever I see something instead of having to clear the floor, lay them out, rearrange for a few days and then worry about messing them up during assembly (which I seem to have a special talent for!).
So yes, I am LOVING these walls. I just had no idea how much they would change my productivity for the better. Plus they add so much color to my quilting room... I should have leaned them up against shelves, a closet or anywhere years ago!

text: Like most beekeepers I can't help but stop when I come upon a bee store, I don't mean just a honey for sale sign but a shop fully devoted to bees and honey. Problem is I can't stand most of them. They typically have a tonne of skin products, honey mixed with whatever people will eat, and a bunch of over priced product ($48 for 3kg of honey at the last one I went to). I guess part of my problem is I approach bees from the biology side - I often tell people I love bees but am indifferent to honey; but don't get me wrong I love seeing and tasting all of the honey varieties etc. I'm curious if anyone here has encountered a real top notch shop that pleases both tourists and beekeepers alike and does a nice job of marketing honey, wax products and bees?

I would love to hear from some treatment free beekeepers with a description of the areas where they are successfully keeping bees without treatment. What I'm curious about is ....
How saturated is the area surrounding your apiaries with your own stock?
Is there a major infusion of package bees into your region in the spring?
How many other apiaries, not your own, are within range of your yards?
The reason I ask is, I've been told that the county where I have my yards set up has the highest number of beekeepers and apiaries in the state. It's a terrific area for honey production and it seems there are beehives set up on every street corner you pass. Each spring there is a major introduction of hundreds of package bees into this area, good production bees but not at all mite tolerant. Everyone in the county who does not treat seems to be hopelessly trapped on the package treadmill. I just wonder if it is even possible to maintain your own treatment free stock in this type of environment, or would you need to set up your own breeding area in some other remote location?

PhysSec Legal Advice
I've submitted my first CFP for derbycon, but I'm starting to get a bit concerned over the material I want to present. It's basically going to show the ineffectiveness of the TSA, and things people can do that they shouldn't.
I'm obviously concerned if I'm going to be picked up by a black suburban, somehow wind up on the no fly list, etc. I hit up the EFF for some advice, but they said the material doesn't really fit in to their model, asked for a reference a few days ago, but haven't heard anything.
So, I'd really like to figure out if i'm just completely insane for the material i want to present, find out if i'm breaking any federal laws, see if there's any way to mitigate the impact, such as informing the TSA ahead of time. Things like that.
So, does anyone know of an entity like the EFF I could go to for some legal advice? Barring that, what kind of lawyer would I even seek out for something like this?
Any help and input is appreciated!

I think Romo has 2 five interception games overall, one being the game against Buffalo in 2007... of course this is just off the top of my head. Anyway, I made this list before the season started. At that point, fact was Eli Manning had turn the ball over 50 times in the past two seasons, and had a much larger margin of turnovers than Romo. Romo hasn't been good this year with turnovers though while Eli has.
As far as improvisation goes, eh whatever. I didn't really consider chucking a ball up for grabs as improvisation as much as I considered it a prayer, but it was a monumental play nonetheless. Romo has consistently played better over the course of his career when the play breaks down opposed to Eli because of his improvisational skills. But really, I'm not gonna fight you on it.

APCNews 125 – ICT and livelihoods, Romania, South Africa
APCNews – July 26 2010 – Year XI Issue 125
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
Today the "bottom" three-quarters of the world's population include more than 50% of all people with internet access says a Pew report . The majority of the poor live in the rural areas of developing countries and are dependent on agriculture or fishing for a living. The information they need to improve their livelihoods is about food production and credit streams. Access to information on government programmes and entitlements is also key. This edition of APCNews features a GISWatch report which looks at examples of how access to information over the internet and mobiles is improving lives in developing countries and a new project to "share" broadband to reach marginalised South African communities. In Romania, another GISWatch author reports that technology is far advanced of the Romanian government which needs to get its act together and provide more information online for citizens.
Mobiles and internet improve the livelihoods of the poorest
Fishermen from coastal villages in southern India can now access information on weather conditions and the market in their own language via mobile phone. This has not only improved the standard of living for their entire communities, but it has also saved the lives of a number of fishermen who would have died at sea. This article from Global Information Society Watch 2009 – Advancing human rights and democracy looks at concrete examples of how access to information through mobile phones and technology is adding to the wallets of the poor .
Opening up e-government in Romania
MONTEVIDEO (KAH for APCNews) – Rozi Bako reports that after researching the state of access to online information for extending democracy in Romania "we are now advocating for open e-government". Bako of the StrawberryFoundation found that technology in Romania is far more advanced than information dissemination practices, and that if Romania is to become a transparent, participatory society, government initiatives and a business community drive have to be backed up by opinion-makers and citizen action groups.
New model to get broadband to under-served communities in South Africa
PRETORIA (Ungana-Afrika for APCNews) – Broadband for All aims to provide broadband connectivity to South Africa's under-served areas through a community-centric model rather than a telco-driven model. The model leverages wireless-mesh technologies to link priority government sites and high bandwidth users such as schools, municipalities and government offices, who in turn provide a link to smaller customers such as businesses, NGOs and individuals.
Nobel Peace Prize for "the internet"?
CALGARY (LC for APCNews) – Google has launched a world-wide campaign on how the internet can be used for peace in support of the worldwide network's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 on the basis that "the Internet is a powerful tool that promotes freedom of expression, while fostering the global spread of democracy". Support the nomination by selecting your country on the home page (http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/internetforpeace/index.html ) or take part on the debate as to whether the prestigious Nobel Prize should to go the internet and its users or not. APC is a campaign affiliate.
