You are herecontent / Cindy Sheehan Wows, Vows to Bring down Curtain on Catastrophic Conservatism that Defines Nancy Pelosi's Corporate-Coddling
Cindy Sheehan Wows, Vows to Bring down Curtain on Catastrophic Conservatism that Defines Nancy Pelosi's Corporate-Coddling
Los Angeles, CA -- The time for being polite to our war-mongering politicians and organizations which support them is over. Cindy Sheehan is today's leading voice against a doomsday administration whose defining characteristic is a dirty, scorched-Earth partisanship at any price.
Cindy Sheehan, is taking on the Goliath of corporate politics -- California's 8th District Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi , the Speaker of the House and the ranking Democrat who stood stalwart against any talk of impeachment against the most corrupt, most impotent, most undemocratic president in American history . Yes, it's Cindy vs. Pelosi, Bush and Cheney. It's Davida vs. Goliath. Decision time: November 2008
In response to skeptics who wonder if Cindy can beat Nancy, if she can trounce the House Goliath of corporate politics, Sheehan responds, " just read the bible to see who wins."
"In my view", says Sheehan " two interrelated factors largely explain how the Pelosi /Bush/Cheney team have managed to push the United States so far in surrendering its historic concepts of democracy and freedom. One has been the control of information; the other the manipulation of fear.
As a corollary, it's Sheehan's judgment that the reversal of this dangerous process depends on two initiatives: truth can trump propaganda and courage can overcome fear.
Sheehan has long disapproved of Pelosi's funding and support for the war and new nuclear weapons development, as well as the Congresswoman's vote for the bankruptcy bill, Cleverly, Nancy talks our talk, but she is actually an accomplice before, during, and after the fact of Bush's crimes. Is it any coincidence that she is supported by merchants of death, big banks, big real estate operators, and Wall Street? They trust her and back her because she is one of them.
Cindy speaks passionately of her vision of security through peace and the rule of law and of the need for the United States to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol to stem global warming. The issues closest to her political heart, and the issues that matter most to the 8th district, center on job creation and opposition to the 3 trillion dollar, $100,000-dollar-a-minute, $423 million-a-day Iraq war -- a waste of taxpayer resources which drains the 8th and all districts of vital funds for jobs, education, and health care.
The reason I am running," Sheehan begins, "is we need a fundamental change in the policies that affect millions of Americans." A fierce advocate for public campaign financing, Sheehan contends in no-nonsense terms: "As long as the special interests pay to elect the pols, we will have government of the special interests, by the special interests and for the special interests. one of the most dangerous things about this whole corrupt system is that people who are given special privileges inevitably come to regard them not as special but as natural and right, and will fight furiously if you try to take them away."
For too long, Nancy has kowtowed to the worst lobbies for war, and to BushCo. She has slipped through every spending request to make her "defense" donors richer. She has known about torture since 2002, and endorses it-along with the military commissions act and the rest of the totalitarian right-wing state Bush is building in our land. What a scam, what a crime that America's great progressive city, San Francisco, should be represented by such a tool of the big-money power elite. We need a change!"
When Cindy defeats this faux progressive, it will send a message to every phony in Congress. Help strike a blow for peace and against the police state, for universal health care and against war profiteering, for the people and against the plutocrats and malefactors of great wealth for whom Nancy is a silly servant.
Honest to the core, Sheehan prefers telling harsh truths, not comforting lies. "Rather than making us more secure, the Bush administration has made us less safe -- creating more terrorists by waging an immoral war, suspending due process, and demonstrating contempt for the Geneva Convention, for human life and dignity, and for the civil liberties of its own citizens." Pelosi voted to maintain secret prisons in Guantanamo, to lock people up indefinitely without ever charging them with a crime. She voted for the Iraq war, for the renewal of the Patriot Act, and for the development of new Bunker Buster nuclear weapons which blur the line between conventional and nuclear warfare. We don't need another Hiroshima. We don't need any more Pelosi.
California is losing jobs to outsourcing. While Pelosi has been preoccupied on the national scene with Bush's agenda, Iraq, the toxic Patriot Act, and illegal wiretapping, jobs have been disappearing under her watch right here in her district. Her occupation should clearly tend to job-keeping here within her own district. Look homeward, Pelosi.
As the situation in Iraq worsens and an attack on Iran seems imminent supporting ProPeace Candidates is more important now more than ever. Message from Cindy:
While mired in two occupations that have stretched our military past the breaking point and have been responsible for so much death, destruction and heartache, it ominously appears that BushCo are preparing for another attack, this time on Iran.
The other day, the AP quoted Vice-President, Dick Cheney as saying that Iran was seeking, "weapons grade uranium." Where have we heard this before?
General Petraeus blames the recent attacks on the Green Zone in Baghdad on Iran and all this after the last sane military man in the region, Admiral William Fallon was fired for questioning the administration's policies.
We know that Dick "So" Cheney does not care about humanity or the will of the American public who want our troops to be withdrawn from Iraq and we know that Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi refuses to do her Constitutionally mandated duty to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney.
The stakes are so high now. Another misplaced, illegal and immoral attack on Iran will mire our country deeper into debt and stretch our military to the point of complete ruination as well as causing more innocent people to lose their lives for profit and imperial greed.
Cindy Sheehan is a tough, outraged and resilient spirit that knows we have been delivered a great and precious legacy, you and I - "government of, by and for the people" - and, by God we're going to pass it on.
Cindy Sheehan's office & Campaign Headquarters are located at 1260 Mission Street, San Francisco 94103. The office has been open since October 15th, 2007 - but our official opening was December 8th, 2007.
Cindy has already begun to collect endorsements, the most notable one is Matt Gonzalez from the Green Party. Matt is a former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He ran for S.F. Mayor against Gavin Newsome and only lost by a very narrow margin. Matt is currently Ralph Nader's running mate as his Vice President in the '08 Presidential race.

Aesome, she has my support!!!! Vets for Peace!
People need to wake up and face reality. Pelosi is a heterosexist, pro-war, corporate oriented, right-wing Republican posing as a liberal Democrat.
Don't even call that bitch a right wing republican, she's a globalist, neoliberal and a murderer.
If sheehan doesn't win, there's a good chance that a republican could beat bitchlosi, we cannot have that bitch in the white house.
Thank God Ron Paul's a congressman again, he may have dropped out and lost the race for president of the united states in 2008, but the revolution will be around forever.
……Congress, under the Speakership of Ms. Pelosi has done nothing but protect the status quo of the corporate elite and, in fact, since she has been the Speaker, the situation in the Middle East has grown far worse, with Congress' help, and recently more of our essential freedoms were given to BushCo by Congress. That is not what we elected them to do!
A great majority of citizens in California's 8th Congressional district believe Ms. Pelosi has lost touch with the people of this district and America and it's time for our reps that aren't doing their jobs by upholding their sworn oaths to the Constitution to receive a wakeup call!

Senators Introduce Bill to Protect Pregnant Women
(Washington, D.C.)4/1/08 – U.S. Sens. David Vitter, George Voinovich and Sam Brownback this week introduced the Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act, which would require physicians who perform abortions to hold admitting privileges at a hospital that the physician can travel to in one hour or less under average travel conditions.
"This legislation is so important because it provides common sense qualifications for abortion providers," said Vitter, the primary author of the bill. "As with all medical procedures, abortions carry a risk, and doctors who provide them should, at the least, hold admitting privileges at a hospital in close vicinity to the abortion clinic."
The bill also requires that physicians notify patients as to the location of a hospital where they can receive follow-up care from the physician in the event that complications arise. Further, the bill requires that any abortion clinic that receives federal funding be licensed and comply with current requirements relating to ambulatory surgery centers.
The bill also provides that any physician who does not hold clinical privileges may only perform or induce an abortion in order to avert the imminent death of the pregnant woman.
"Patients need to be aware of the possibility of complications arising from abortions," Vitter said. "This bill requires abortion providers to make sure that a woman is aware of the location of the hospital at which she can receive treatment for any complications. It is time that we took the appropriate steps to provide for the safety of the women who undergo abortions."
"We must do all that we can to restore our nation's once cherished culture of life," Voinovich said. "I have always said if I had a magic wand the first thing I would do is reconstitute the American family. We will never be able to do that until we respect life – especially the lives of the most vulnerable among us."
Brownback said, "While we are working toward the day when every unborn child is welcomed and loved, we are unfortunately not there yet. The Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act will provide oversight of the abortion industry, which is badly in need of improved supervision. Too many abortions are performed under unsafe conditions, and too many women's lives are at risk. As a compassionate society, we must work to ensure that women are adequately cared for." ...........
good luck!

Chicago hound incoming!
I 8 IT will be spending a week in Manhattan this April "to celebrate 2 new jobs, a new marriage, and our gluttonous love for everything food related." Nice!
"Cost isn't much of an issue," he reports. Even better!
The Chicago couple is eyeing Per Se, Eleven Madison Park, Morimoto, WD-50, and Momofuku Ko, and they prefer tasting menus whenever possible. But they're not fans of stuffy service—Alinea's six-server-team-per-table setup apparently felt "overbearing." Fellow hounds are all over this one, with gutsofsteel recommending 15 East over Morimoto, and debating peter j about the merits of Corton versus Café Boulud. If you're in the market for a fancy meal yourself or have tips to contribute, it's a thread worth checking out.

Currency markets make daily judgment calls on nations' fortunes. The current state of the global foreign exchange illustrates a phenomenal shift over the past decade: the rise of Australia and the decline of the United States.
In early 2000 Australia was doing OK, but the US was at the end at the greatest stretch of economic growth in history. The US sat astride the world, a financial and military colossus. Unemployment was low. Productivity growth was high. Stocks were on fire. Wall Street investment banks were so desperate for numerate staff they were raiding casinos. Stock analysts were commonly tipping that prices on individual stocks would jump 50 per cent. Merrill Lynch, the biggest broker in the country, fired a tech analyst because he wasn't bullish enough.
In Australia, One.Tel had collapsed. The two giants of the corporate world were Telstra and National Australia Bank. Telstra, part-owned by the government and still a quasi-monopoly, had a bigger market capitalisation than News Corp. NAB had boldly expanded into the UK and Ireland, and was moving on the US. The Howard-Costello government wasn't far off prohibiting Royal Dutch Shell from buying a big natural gas operation in Western Australia.
Trillions of dollars were flowing into the US economy from around the world, sending the US dollar soaring. In mid-2000 the Australian dollar, which had averaged around US60¢ to US70¢ for a long time, started to tank. In October it dipped below US52¢. Ten years on, it is hard to convey the tremors that the currency's fall sent through the worlds of business and finance.
As the world's largest economy, the US was an important market for Australia. A weak Australian dollar was good for exports because it made them cheaper for Americans to buy. It made Australian assets, including property and businesses, cheaper for Americans too.
A weak dollar is an economic stimulant. It can drive inflation by making imported goods like cars and computers more expensive. It sends a powerful signal about how investors see a country's prospects. If the outlook is positive, they'll invest in it, driving up the currency. And vice versa.
The psychological impact of the falling dollar may have been magnified by the Reserve Bank of Australia. From its small New York office perched in a skyscraper high above the Manhattan streets, the bank waded into the huge foreign currency markets and started buying Australian dollars in September 2000.
For a free-floating currency like the dollar, central bank interference with the price is rare. It can send a powerful signal: confidence in the currency's long-term prospects or desperation that the situation is getting out of hand.
The dollar kept falling. Over following months the bank spent about $2.5 billion, according to its annual report that year.
Eventually, in early April 2001, the dollar hit US47.75¢. The Reserve Bank gave up buying dollars. The market had passed its verdict: the US was the world's dominant financial, economic and military power. Australia was a sideshow.
At the same time as the international economic forces shaped by the currency whipsaw were shifting trade, affecting investment and changing the value of countless companies and investments, there was a deep impact on the lives of a small group of Australians.
In New York and other big US cities like Los Angeles, Washington, Dallas and Boston, Australians had helped fill America's seemingly insatiable appetite for labour. No one knew exactly how many, but the Australian consulate in New York estimated there were about 10,000 Australians in the global financial capital.
Calculated in Australian dollars, prices were phenomenal. A round of drinks for five friends at a bar at Grand Central Terminal once cost me $80 – a big sum 10 years ago. A glass of wine with tip, which was mandatory in the US, could cost $20. Some artisan loaves of bread in the Washington Square farmers' market were being sold for $16. Tomatoes at Dean & Deluca, a fancy supermarket, neared $5 each.
By far the biggest expense for ordinary Australians, and almost all expatriates, was rent. The financial boom had driven up bonuses and sucked in thousands of workers, sending already-high rents skyrocketing. I found a one-bedroom apartment with a brick wall view and aeroplane galley-size kitchen for $1100. A week. (The landlord absconded with the $8000 bond.)
Most Australians working for Australian employers in New York received a housing allowance or had their rent paid for them. The result was that it became extremely expensive for Australian companies to send staff to the US, especially New York and San Francisco, where the tech boom had an even bigger impact on property prices. Staff were often paid twice their Australian salaries in addition to getting rental assistance.
For individuals, high prices were so unavoidable that most simply stopped thinking about them. Although not all. Rory Robertson, then a little-known economist who had joined Macquarie Group, cut back on drinking beer in bars. He figured he could drink at least twice as much for the same price when he returned to Australia.
The Nasdaq peaked at 5048 on March 10, 2000. By the end of the year it had fallen below 2300. The tech boom, which had sucked in capital from around the world, imploded. Rents fell in New York as the tech industry collapsed and thousands of people lost their jobs. The city took another hit the following year when 3000 people were murdered in and around the World Trade Centre. Suddenly, downtown apartments were empty.
The inconclusive wars launched because of that day undermined America's moral standing around the world. But it took the bankruptcy of an investment bank, Lehman Brothers, to trigger serious economic damage.
Lehman's death led to a collapse in US house prices, which triggered huge defaults on mortgages and made many banks in the US and Europe insolvent.
To stop the financial system collapsing, the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to almost zero. Investors in bonds fled in search of better returns elsewhere. The US rate cuts triggered a capital rush that hurt the US dollar and helped the Australian dollar. The dollar traded above $US1 on October 15 for about 10 seconds. After the Reserve Bank increased interest rates on Tuesday, the dollar jumped almost 1¢ to US 99.98¢. Over the weekend the dollar was trading above US $1.
The flip in the currencies' fortunes reflects how America has stumbled while Australia has soared. At home, unemployment is low, growth is strong and mortgage defaults are low. The world's sixth most-valuable company is based in Melbourne, according to a March survey for the Financial Times. It's BHP Billiton.
New York-based Citigroup was once the world's second-largest bank by value. It was saved two years ago this month by a US government bailout. Merrill Lynch almost went bankrupt, and was bought by Bank of America. Today, US unemployment is around 9.6 per cent and more than 1 million homes are in some stage of foreclosure because the owners stopped paying the mortgage, according to USA Today.
Australians holidaying in New York aren't blown away by the prices. They're often pleasantly surprised. Rent is still expensive in New York, but it's not cheap in many parts of Australia either.
Clothing, music and dining out are often cheaper in America these days than in Australia. A pair of Brooks running shoes costs $200 at Rebel Sport. They can be bought for $100 from the US on Amazon.com (the shipping costs an extra $20).

Moving furnace vent
I've got a 78% efficient Lennox g20 up flow gas furnace in my basement venting through 4" B vent run out my old chimney flue. It spans three stories. I'd love to install a wood stove on the main floor and the "most practical" way to do this is use a flex liner in the old flue.
The problem is there is not enough room for both the b vent and the wood stove flex. Thus if i want to even consider a wood stove in that location i need to move said vent (or go high efficiency which i'd rather not right now).
My question is: Can i side vent the furnace as long as it is up and 1/4 over a foot rise and install an a secondary blower that switches on and off with the furnace such as something by tjerland?
Not to my knowledge. The b-vent must terminate no less than 2' above any vertical surfaces, and proximity to windows and doors is an issue as well.
If you're running a 78% furnace, switching to a high efficiency unit would probably pay for itself in no time at all.
that would defeat the wood stove all winter route...
Also i fixed the link above.
If you've not purchased a wood stove, go for a pellet model. They are so efficient these days you can side vent them. The btu cost is comparable or less than wood.
I also have a Lennox G20 where my 4" pipe is venting out of an existing chimney. I moved the furnace so I would like to vent it out of the side of the house instead. If I were to keep this furnace for now, would there be an issue with side venting it? It would be away from windows, and sufficiently high off the ground.
Itis not rated for side wall venting, Nope. No way.
Its allowed to be side vented, if you use a power venter(tjern).
The power venter must have a proving switch.
You must also install a barometric damper, and need to set up the proper draft. Which will require a manometer.
Been I am not sure but I know around here the only way an 80% gets vented out the side is if it's was on the recall list of plex pipe.
They will not allow (to the best of my knowledge) any type of gas fired appliance to be side wall vented unless the smoke pipe is stainless steel along with the power venter.
Makes it a pretty expensive alteration.
Thank you both for your input. I was able to get a copy of the Installation Instructions for this furnace from Lennox and here was the text about Horizontal Venting:
"This furnace is design certified by the American Gas Association for horizontal venting through an outside wall only with the use of a Field Controls Company Model #SWG-5L side wall venting kit available from Lennox Dealer Service Center. No other Field brand venting kit or any other manufacturers venting kit is acceptable. Horizontal venting of this furnace without the use of the above stated kit is prohibited."
FYI - I contacted Field Controls and they've since replaced the SWG-5L with the SWG-5G.
Just checked our local code. It's permissible, how ever the restiction are so strict it makes almost impossible.
Hey now, we got one of the best Mechanical departments in the country.
We just dont want those ugly ass terminations poking out the side walls.
Ok for 90% but not 80%s.
I'll stay out of the code argument :) But, in my case, when we bought the house a couple months ago the furnace location originally caused the vent pipe to run laterally about 5 feet before turning 90 degrees around a wall and running another 6 feet to the chimney. I wasn't pleased with the furnace location, or the length of the vent pipe, so I moved the furnace to a more ideal out of the way location a bit closer to the chimney. However, the chimney is in disrepair, there are signs of moisture problems, and the furnace is still farther from the chimney than I am comfortable with; so I would like to abandon it and run the water heater through the back of the house as well. It seems like running it through a side wall is our best option. I'm just now trying to find the most ideal location to be out of sight, and a sufficient distance from all the windows. Thanks again for your input.
Just keep in mind.
That power venters are not always quiet.

Yep, things happen once in a while.I have sold thousands of items and had very few problems. Paypal is the way to go with the payments, they will even back you if someone rips you off. Before Paypal I sold hundreds upon hundreds of items and they simply sent a check and then I cashed it and when it cashed I mailed the part. One day I joked to my wife how I had found a way to distribute our address so people could send me money.
No kidding, that is what it felt like, it was soooo easy.
Well, now Ebay gets a little bigger slice, and with all the "stores" and retailers and crap it is a cluttered up mess compared to the simple amateur auction site it was when I started in 99. But it still works pretty good. I bought a bunch of stuff for the Rambler when I was doing it, NOS brake shoes wheel cylinders, shocks, An NOS horn button, I bought all kinds of stuff for it. A crap load of stuff I have for my Gran Sport and all the 53 Corvette motor stuff I am collecting for my truck, all on ebay.
One of the best things you can do is to set your expectations a little low. Say you buy a blower manifold, no matter what the guy says expect it to be just a little shy of how good he tells you. He says there are no stripped holes, expect there to be at least one, you know what I mean? That way when it comes and there IS one, it isn't a big deal you have already accepted that. If it comes and there are no stripped holes you are THRILLED. That is how I look at anything sight un-scene. My brother will have super high expectations and no kidding, over all these years he still does it and often gets disappointed, you have to set your expectations lower. If you are ok with that manifold with one stripped hole you need to fix, they be ok with it and buy it, if it has one you fix it if not you hit the jackpot.

Lesson 3: Exaggeration
Lesson Plan
Pecos Bill | 910L
- Learning Goal
- Identify examples of exaggeration in a tall tale.
- Explain that exaggeration is a characteristic of tall tales.
- Duration
- Approximately 50 minutes
- Necessary Materials
Provided: Unit Example Chart, Independent Practice Worksheet
Not Provided: Pecos Bill by Steven Kellogg, chart paper, markers
Teacher Modeling
will explain that tall tales are called tall tales because they are exaggerated (they are taller, bigger, and more ridiculous than regular stories). Exaggeration means to make something seem more than it actually is. I will add "exaggeration" to my Characteristics of Tall Tales Chart that I started in Lesson 1 (example provided). Say, "For example, if I said, 'The principal's hands are so big, he could wrap them around the entire school,' I would be exaggerating how big his hands are to tell you that they were really big. Tall tales usually use exaggeration to make the traits and actions of the story's hero seem bigger and more exciting." I will use the familiar tall tale, Paul Bunyan, to model how to identify exaggeration in a story. I will look for descriptions of actions or people that seem impossible and bigger than life. For example, I will recall that Paul Bunyan combed his beard with a pine tree. Most people only comb their hair with a hair brush. Since I have identified exaggeration in the book, I will add the title to my chart, along with the example of exaggeration I identified.
Think Check
Ask: "How can I identify examples of exaggeration in a tall tale?" Students should respond by saying that you can identify exaggeration by looking for descriptions of actions or people that seem impossible and bigger than life.
Guided Practice
will read the tall tale, Pecos Bill by Steven Kellogg, and identify examples of exaggeration in the text. We will discuss how there are multiple examples of exaggeration that help us identify the story as a tall tale, so we will add the title of the book to our chart, along with 1-2 examples of exaggeration we identified.
Independent Practice
will identify and illustrate one example of exaggeration from the story. You will share your example and illustration so that it can be added to the class chart and explain how you know this is a tall tale. (Independent Practice Worksheet provided.)
Build Student Vocabulary cattle
|Tier 2 Word: cattle
|Contextualize the word as it is used in the story
|"But the men claimed that Texas cattle were much too ornery to ever put up with ranching."
|Explain the meaning student-friendly definition)
|Cattle are large animals that people keep for their milk, meat, and skin. A cow is an example of cattle. In the past, cowboys like Bill Pecos had to take care of lots of cattle, and they needed these cows for food.
|Students repeat the word
|Say the word cattle with me: cattle.
|Teacher gives examples of the word in other contexts
|The milk we drink also comes from cattle. Today, if you want to see cattle, you may have to go to a farm or a zoo because they don't run around in the wild as much as they used to.
|Students provide examples
|Can you give an example of where you might find cattle? Start by saying, "I might find cattle ____________________."
|Students repeat the word again.

Pause after reading page 16 of Pecos Bill and explain that a lasso is a loop of rope that you can throw around something, and it will tighten when you pull on it. Lassos are not actually made from rattlesnakes! American cowboys used lassos to catch bulls, cows, and other types of animals.

Flick Pick
It was wise to wait two years to release September 11, a collection of eleven shorts, each eleven minutes, nine seconds and one frame in length. Even now, it's hard to imagine the viewer whose gut will remain unwrenched. Emphasizing the global impact of the event before the retaliatory bombs began falling, these films were made by an international group of filmmakers, including Claude Lelouch (France), Danis Tanovic (Bosnia), Samira Makhmalbaf (Iran), Youssef Chahine (Egypt). Most are intimate tales, like Sean Penn's magic-realist portrait of a grieving widower, played by Ernest Borgnine, or Mira Nair's fact-based account of a missing Muslim initially tarred as a terrorist and then buried a hero. Some even find room for whimsy: Idrissa Ouedraogo offers us a group of young West African boys determined to capture Osama bin Laden by themselves. But staged drama pales in the face of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's mostly black screen, backed with actual audio from the news that day and interspersed with the occasional real falling body.

Hi, I just had a CO2 on a small area of my face to remove a stubborn acne scar. It has been 2 mths n still red. Doctor says to keep it dry. It will heal eventually. Don't know if I can rely on that. What else can I do now to remove the redness??? Thanks for ur help! Much appreciated!

Post CO2 redness
It looks like you did a very small area on your face where there was an acne scar. Do you feel the acne scar has gotten better? Sometimes after CO2 laser resurfacing, redness can last up to a few months and it goes away over time. You should have noticed it already becoming lighter, you can put 'cover up make up' over the area to hide it if it bothers you.

High dynamic range stereo vision for outdoor mobile robotics
Hrabar, Stefan, Corke, Peter, & Bosse, Michael (2009) High dynamic range stereo vision for outdoor mobile robotics. In Proceedings IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2009 ICRA 09, IEEE, Kobe International conference center, Kobe, Japan, pp. 430-435.
Published Version
We present a technique for high-dynamic range stereo for outdoor mobile robot applications. Stereo pairs are captured at a number of different exposures (exposure bracketing), and combined by projecting the 3D points into a common coordinate frame, and building a 3D occupancy map. We present experimental results for static scenes with constant and dynamic lighting as well as outdoor operation with variable and high contrast lighting conditions.

Senate passes lottery privatization
There are 39 comments on the The Indianapolis Star story from Feb 27, 2007, titled Senate passes lottery privatization. In it, The Indianapolis Star reports that:The Senate voted 27-20 today to let Gov. Mitch Daniels lease the Hoosier Lottery to a private company and use the proceeds to fund life-sciences research and create scholarships.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at The Indianapolis Star.
#1 Feb 27, 2007
Why not lease or rather rent a Governor on a day by day rate like a rental car? That way we could get rid of his ass if he was not doing the job. This would apply to Democrat as well as Republican or any other flavor of Governor. While we are at it let's just rent a legislature from say Ohio and split the cost with them? Non of these pols work full time anyway!
#2 Feb 27, 2007
Yippeee! Way to go Mitch. I am so glad you don't listen to all the liberal idiots. Do whats best for the state and keep raking in the cash
#3 Feb 27, 2007
Tell that to your grandkids Dave
#4 Feb 27, 2007
Doesn't anyone else wonder the same thing as me?
Why in the world are we talking about a set amount on the lease of the Lottery? The article reads at least $1 billion up front and $200 million a year for 30 years. Aren't we telling possible bidders what we want?
Why not put it out to bid with a clause that gives the State to reject any and all bids. That way if the bids are lower than what the State really wants, they can rebid later. With the details released so far on the expectations, we're giving the bidders an idea of the bid amount to work with. Let eh bidder assume the responsibility for calcualting his own bid based upon his own expectations.
United States
#5 Feb 27, 2007
I am with Dave, way to go Mitch!!!!
#6 Feb 27, 2007
Why not privatize the senate?
#7 Feb 27, 2007
No Dems voted for it, and 5 Repubs voted against trying now to save their seat next year.
#8 Feb 27, 2007
So can we assume that all of the Dems that voted against it were just trying to save their seat?
#9 Feb 27, 2007
This was a done deal before the vote. Hope it works.
United States
#10 Feb 27, 2007
I'll stand with Dave.
#11 Feb 27, 2007
Could care less about party affiliation, just doesn't seem to make sense. We are trying to bring more life sciences jobs into the state while Lilly et al are sending more and more of their scientific and research positions to India and China for cheap wages. So with these companies cutting jobs not increasing them it seems we are selling the lottery off to put money down a black hole. Furthermore these are highly technical jobs that the majority of people out of work in Indiana arent qualified to perform. So what do you think theyll do, bring in people from other states. I am glad we are putting an initiative in place that will help companies hire out of state workers. A better idea might be to make college free for anyone from Indiana who would like to attend. If I didn't have massive student loans I would be thinking of practicing in Indiana when I graduate law school. Instead I'm going to Chicago where they pay enough that I can live and pay my loans off. Most people leave Indiana because our wages are depressed even if you add in standard of living. I know Chicago is expensive, but it isnt $30,000 a year less in pay expensive. Now if I didnt have loans, I might be willing to take a lower paying job. As a matter of fact I might be willing to take a job at a non-profit that helped the community. Instead my debt is so high, I have to go to the highest bidder so I can afford to eat and pay my loans.
#12 Feb 27, 2007
So where were the other 53 Senators during this vote?
#13 Feb 27, 2007
lets just lease the state out and then maybe when can lease mitch out
#14 Feb 27, 2007
Well you can tell the republican Senators
are the Butt kissers.
Bend over DAD "Dumb As- Daniel's"
so we kiss it.
A sick Bunch and you put them there.
And to the Star,,I have already joined the community,
United States
#15 Feb 27, 2007
I hope he privatizes your job too---if you even have one.
#16 Feb 27, 2007
Please, please tell me you are kidding...right?
United States
#17 Feb 27, 2007
One more partner = less in payouts. Boycott the Lottery.
Saint Paul, MN
#18 Feb 27, 2007
Why is Mitch trying to sell and lease everything in Indiana. People let him in office and he sells the light company, let him in again he wants to sell the bridges and now the lottery. Come on open your eyes!!!!!
United States
#19 Feb 27, 2007
Talk about a brain drain.IT right here in the heart of Indiana.
#20 Feb 27, 2007
I don't oppose his idea of selling a lottery licence. I do oppose his selling it at discounted price for short term gain. The insiders will get a good deal and turn around and resell it for a profit. Profit that should have gone into the state treasury in the first place.

The never ending attempt by Republicans to prove this man named, Barack Obama, was not born in America, does not think like an American, and in his heart hates this country continues and continues. The latest proponent of this madness is Republican Congressman Mike Coffman, who ranted in a speech: "I don't know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I don't know that. But, I know this, that in his heart, he's not an American. He's just not an American."
His mother was born in the United States of America, unlike the father of Mitt Romney, who spent his childhood in Mexico where his father lived in order to continue practicing polygamy–an old fashioned American virtue! Coffman believes the crime of Obama is that he does not believe the US is an "exceptional nation." Frankly, Coffman is right. Most industrial nations provide medical care for all citizens, most practice preventive medicine, most provide day care for families and ensure that children do not go hungry. Yes, Mr. Coffman, you are right–Barack Obama has un-American ideas!
Oh, and the un-American took out Osama bin Laden–you know– the buddy of Barack!

Questions to Ask in Your MBA Admissions InterviewFrancesca Di Meglio
MBA applicants spend lots of time practicing their responses to the questions they'll likely face in an admissions interview. What many haven't realized is that the questions they ask the business schools might be just as telling.
"Fit is important, and interviews exist to assess that," says Kurt Ahlm, associate dean for student recruitment and admissions at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. "This is as much about the school finding out about applicants as it is about applicants finding out about the school."
You cannot ask any old question. You have to put some thought into it, according to admissions committee members at top business schools. "We want to see candidates use the questions to show a genuine interest in the school," says Christine Sneva, executive director of admissions and financial aid at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Asking about the direction and vision for the school over the next few years tells interviewers you are imagining what life would be like for you on their campus, says Sneva. The same is true, she adds, of questions about whether the interviewer likes living near the school and what she does for fun after work.
Of course, questions about life near campus only work for those who still live in the area. Knowing a bit about who is interviewing you is a must. Applicants should tailor their questions to students, alumni, and administrators, all of whom conduct interviews for various schools, says Richard Lyons, dean of the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business. The interviewer owes you a good answer, too, he adds.
In fact, Lyons says applicants should ask "powerful questions," ones with responses that will offer them clues as to whether this is the right school for them. The top three questions he thinks applicants should ask are:
1. Does the school's mission and culture have any defining characteristics?
2. What percentage of classmates would you choose to work closely with or for after graduation?
3. Can you provide a concrete example of how the school's location affects the student's experience?
People mistakenly believe there is no way to mess up this portion of the interview. Asking for responses that can easily be found on the school's website or with a minimal amount of research tells the interviewer you have not done your homework, says Ahlm.
Knowing the format of the interview is also helpful, and the schools expect you to research this and the basics before you sit down to chat. Some administrators don't mind if you skip the questions all together. "Don't ask a question just to ask one," says Ankur Kumar, director of MBA admissions and financial aid at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. "There is no penalty for having done your homework."
Still, most say there's only so much you can learn from the website and other sources. They would prefer that applicants take advantage of the opportunity to delve deeper into the experience they might have if they enroll.
"Applicants might feel like they know enough," says Sneva. "But you never know enough until you're here."

"No. That was the plan. Kent (Desormeaux) knew the filly; he rode her in Chicago (in which she was second in the Grade 3 Chicago Handicap on June 29). He rode her with confidence. We needed a Hall of Fame rider to do a Hall of Fame ride, and he did it today. We got it today because of Kent."

School Notes
- About GLM: Grand Lake Montessori was founded in 1978 as an independent Montessori day school. Formerly known as Casa dei Bambini (or House of Children in Italian) it was named after the very first Montessori school established in Rome in 1906. GLM has grown to more than 170 students, educating children 18 months through Kindergarten and is now opening an Elementary Program in August 2016. GLM operates year round orienting all of our new students into the program throughout the summer time.
- What Is Montessori? Montessori is a brain-based method of education that fosters self-directed and experiential learning, as well as collaboration with peers. In Montessori classrooms, children can respond to their natural curiosities, pursue their special interests and make their own choices. They discover and explore knowledge while being intentionally guided by trained Montessori adults who offer developmentally appropriate activities in a well prepared environment. Through using their hands and engaging their minds, they become creative, independent, critical thinkers with a life-time love of learning.
- Our Classrooms Are Special. Here`s Why: Classrooms at GLM have nearly as much personality as the children who go here. We strive to make our classrooms a home-away-from-home environment with plants, animals, beautiful cultural objects and pieces of art. There are cosy corners to sit and read in, child-sized tables to play at and individual rugs for laying out projects. All the tools, implements and furniture are real, functional and scaled to the children`s size. Every activity in the environment supports an aspect of their development and is part of an age appropriate and scientifically based curriculum. These are places designed and created especially for them!

HS WRESTLING: Disqualification dampens PIAA Championships for Blairsville
First-year Blairsville coach D.J. Doak couldn't rejoice after watching a pair of his wrestlers advance to the quarterfinal round of the PIAA Class AA Wrestling Championships on Thursday at the Giant Center in Hershey.
For Doak, the disqualification of Blairsville senior Noah Tarr felt worse than a punch to the gut.
Doak watched both his son, Drew Doak (152 pounds), and fellow sophomore Scott Thompson (182), notch first-round wins, but he cringed after witnessing the debacle that led to Tarr's premature dismissal.
Tarr surrendered a takedown at the buzzer in his first-round bout and lost, 7-6, to Billy Barnes, of Williamson. After the match, the frustrated Tarr yelled a profanity in front of the referee, a violation that resulted in his disqualification from the tournament.
Derry's Micky Phillippi (113) and the Patrick brothers from Ligonier Valley, Justin (113) and Joshua (120), joined Drew Doak and Thompson in today's quarterfinals.
Also, in the Class AAA tournament, Punxsutawney's Kaleb Young, the Northwest Regional champion at 126, advanced to the quarterfinals with a first-round victory. Junior Joel Bowers (120), a third-place finisher in the Northwest Regional tournament, was eliminated after dropping back-to-back matches.
Tarr failed to earn a medal at the state tournament in his third, and final, attempt. In all likelihood, Tarr would have qualified for the state tournament in his sophomore campaign, but he tore a ligament in his ankle before the postseason and didn't survive the regional tournament.
"The four of us were all together after the first round, and we should have been happy, but none of us were," D.J. Doak said. "We were all just upset for what happened to Noah. Those boys are still going to go out and wrestle hard for their school, their coaches and their families, but it's definitely a tough pill to swallow. Not just for Noah, but for all of us."
Tarr (37-5) dictated the majority of the action against Barnes. But trailing 6-5 in the waning seconds of the third period, the sophomore clinched up with Tarr and executed a Hail Mary-like throw in the middle of the mat as the buzzer sounded to earn a 7-6 win.
"He was definitely controlling the match completely. He just made a mistake," D.J. Doak said. "It was just a mental error at the wrong time, but he should have never been DQ'd.
"Noah was not disrespectful to the ref, to the other coach or to his opponent. He was just upset with himself and he got frustrated and used a bad word."
Drew Doak (37-2) used a pair of takedowns and an escape to stamp a 5-4 first-round win over Saucon Valley's Travis Buddock, a third-place finisher in the Northeast Regional tournament. Doak locked horns with two-time state runner-up Austin Matthews, of Reynolds, today in the quarterfinals.
"If you make one mistake at regionals you can come into the state tournament and be in a really tough situation right off the bat," D.J. Doak said of Drew's loss to Freedom's Boe Bonzo in the regional finals. "Matthews has been ranked No. 1 in the state all season, and Drew was arguably the No. 2 or 3 kid until he got upset at regionals. The best two guys in the bracket will be wrestling in the quarterfinals, but we're still very excited. It's a really big opportunity for Drew."
Thompson (16-1) scored a takedown in the first period and an escape in the third to secure a 3-2 first-round win over Redbank Valley's Aaron Hook. Thompson took on Troy Hembury, of Muncy, today in the quarterfinals. Hembury won the Northeast Regional tournament and entered the match with a 40-1 record.
"The score was 3-2 but Scott really controlled the entire match," D.J. Doak said. "He's (Thompson) got a pretty good double-leg that he uses a lot, but the kid had a nice counter for it, and he stopped it every time. So Scotty went to a single-leg instead and got a takedown. He made a nice adjustment and that was a big difference in the match."
Joshua Patrick (28-0) thumped Schuylkill Valley's Josh Giorgio, 13-3, in the first round.
Patrick topped Wyalusing's Collin Edsell this morning in the quarterfinals.
Justin Patrick (34-4) scored a 9-2 first-round win over Warrior Run's Eric Hunt. In this morning's quarterfinals, Patrick lost to Boiling Springs' Korbin Myers, who entered the match having lost just once in 43 matches.
Phillippi (39-4), meanwhile, advanced on the same side of the 113-pound bracket as Justin Patrick with a 9-0 first-round win over Wilkes-Barre GAR's A.J. Luton.
Phillippi beat Redbank Valley's Willis Gruver this morning in the quarterfinals.
"Micky controlled the whole match from start to finish. He did great," second-year Derry coach Mike Weinell said. "He basically did whatever he wanted to do. He rode him well on top he scored a couple of takedowns, and he stayed calm every time he tried a big move. I think he (Luton) made it so far because he's pretty good at hitting a few big moves regularly. Micky didn't panic and stuffed every headlock or throw he tried."
Young (27-1), a freshman and a Northwest Regional tournament champ, earned a 10-6 first-round win over Boyertown's Eddie Kriczky, a third-place finisher in the Southeast Regional tournament. He took on North Hills' Tyler Walker in the quarterfinals.

Gov. Sean Parnell didn't threaten to retaliate against Ketchikan in reaction to an education lawsuit filed by the community's borough.
That's not who Parnell is.
Parnell simply gave an honest answer to a sincere question Feb. 6.
He acknowledged the same sentiments that appeared in a Ketchikan Daily News editorial shortly after the Ketchikan Gateway Borough decided in a narrow 4-3 vote to pursue the suit: By nature a lawsuit is an unfriendly gesture.
No Alaskan welcomes a lawsuit. Most, if not all, Alaskans would interpret a suit as adversarial and would have it in the backs of their minds when dealing with those who had brought it. Any Alaskan, if sued privately, would do the same.
That's all the governor really said. Everything else is reading between the lines.
Gov. Parnell and the state legislators are Alaskans, many of whom had been lobbied by the borough in recent years to introduce legislation that would eliminate local contributions to school districts in organized boroughs.
None of the 60 legislators introduced a bill to that effect. Borough Manager Dan Bockhorst and four Assembly members didn't agree with that result. Thus, the lawsuit.
It remains to be seen at the end of the legislative session how Ketchikan comes out in terms of state capital project dollars. But, the Assembly voted to pursue the lawsuit in October 2013.
In December 2013, Gov. Parnell released his proposed fiscal year 2015 budget. His budget showed an almost exact amount for the district home of Ketchikan to what appeared in the prior year's. (Then last month Fairbanks Rep. Tammie Wilson pre-filed the bill the Ketchikan borough had hoped for earlier.)
Parnell's critics of the past week also accused him of attacking local government. But, in fact, he spoke favorably about local governance of schools while in Ketchikan, and visited with some of the community's students. When discussing education he pointed out that it is better to keep control and oversight at the local level, where parents, teachers and others interested in local schools can be involved more easily.
The interaction between the borough that provides school funding and the local public is irreplaceable, according to Parnell. The state cannot provide that accessibility, obviously because of geography. Nor would the state want to turn its education responsibility over to the federal government to pay the bill; that also would remove local control of schools, and Alaska — Ketchikan specifically — has experience with Washington, D.C., making decisions that negatively affect it. It would be chaos for local schools to be funded solely by the feds.
Ketchikan shouldn't be quick to take offense at the inaccurate conclusions being drawn from Gov. Parnell's responses. He simply stated the obvious that when one is sued there's no pretending it didn't happen. For gubernatorial challengers in an election year and plaintiffs in a suit against the state to act shocked and offended is disingenuous. One wants the governor's job; the other seeks to force him to do what he doesn't believe is in the best interests of Alaska and Alaska students.
The majority of Ketchikan voters elected the Borough Assembly. We are responsible for what they do on our behalf. Maybe this lawsuit is what we want. But then we must be ready to accept any consequences.
We've started a fight, and we shouldn't act hurt or victimized if the target of our lawsuit points out that he's aware of that and that he just might be a little irritated by it. As we pointed out months ago, we can't throw a punch and not expect to get hit ourselves.
Gov. Parnell also noted when commenting on the suit that most legislators don't pay much attention to the difference between Ketchikan's governments. We have two. One is the borough, which is suing the state. The other is the city, which hasn't joined the lawsuit. The suit has created uneasiness between the two local governments, too.
This places the cohesiveness of the joint Ketchikan Legislative Liaison lobbying trip to Juneau in jeopardy. But Ketchikan is one community. Its officials should travel to Juneau for the purpose of lobbying as one, focusing on the liaison's top item on the community wide priority list: expansion of the Swan Lake hydroelectric facility.
It's the increased power that will be generated there that is of utmost importance.
Honestly, that's what it comes to — both Gov. Parnell and community leaders focusing on what's best for Ketchikan, and both are committed to that without a doubt.

We love what we are seeing coming from behind the lens of Brisbane wedding photographer, Kelsea K Photography. Kelsea is an incredible photographer and we are so excited to share her new concept with you!
A 'rock the dress' shoot is an alternative to the ever popular 'trash the dress' shoot, except for the fact that the bride can still keep her dress when she is done. Kelsea explains:
"I came up with the idea because I follow a lot of bridal groups and saw a big divide between the pro 'trash the dress' brides and the anti 'trash the dress' ones. For brides, there were only two options: either you got back into your dress or you didn't."
"I started researching 'trash the dress' ideas and came across this incredible photo of a bride standing on top of a mountain in New Zealand – she was well and truly rocking her dress. So, I knew I wanted to do something like that. I put up a post on Facebook and about 50 brides sent me photos of their dresses and why they wanted to do this shoot. Most of them said it was because they didn't get nice photos of their wedding day, mainly because they didn't hire a professional photographer. So, I decided to do the promo shoot with a past bride (and good friend) Sara, and then give away another session to a bride whose photographer didn't turn up on her wedding day."
"Sara had so much fun on the day. We drove to the location together, stopping off at the Rocklea Flower Markets on the way, and Sara crafted her flower crown in the car while I drove. The inspiration for the shoot was long wavy hair, a flowing dress, flower crown and a bit boho bride mixed in. I knew I wanted mountains in the background as that was an element from initial photograph that inspired me, so we headed north of Brisbane to find a beautiful lake. Everything came together and we got beautiful shots of Sara back in her Anna Campbell Eden gown, which she could never destroy like they do in 'trash the dress' sessions."
These photos of Sara are breath-taking and it makes us want to jump back into our gowns and pose for the camera again…

"Four Year" Plan for Future Health Professionals
In other words, most students choose to spread their preparations out over more than the four years of college, choose to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by the college, and choose to fully explore the many rewarding careers and experiences available to them.
Students take many paths to careers in the health professions – yes, you can get into medical school with a BA in English from Bowdoin! However, all the choices you make (major, study away, etc.) will affect the path you take. You should consult your faculty advisors and the Director of Health Professions Advising as you plan your education. Your plan is likely to be longer than the next four years – in fact only about 15% of students matriculate into medical immediately after they graduate! The majority students choose not matriculate until 2 years or more after graduation. This is true everywhere, not just at Bowdoin, and in fact health professions schools appreciate more mature applicants with greater life experiences.
First Year
- Settle into your courses and college life
- Consider engaging in a few extracurricular opportunities
- Contact your academic advisor or the health professions advisor if you have questions about course selection
Sophomore Year

- Participate in extracurricular activities
- Engage in community service
- Attend relevant informational programs on campus
- Plan to make constructive use of your summer
Summer after Sophomore Year
- Hold a pertinent internship, if possible, or try to volunteer in a health care field on the side

Junior Year
- Maintain a strong performance in the classroom and lab
- Reevaluate the strength of your prospective candidacy
- Discuss your intentions with the health professions advisor
- Speak with health care professionals in your field(s) of interest
- Continue extracurricular involvement; consider assuming leadership role(s)
- Continue community service
- Attend relevant panel discussions and info sessions on campus
- Identify and apply for summer internships or relevant employment
- Lay the groundwork for a senior honors project
- If you hope to matriculate in a health professions program the fall after graduating:
- Complete the academic prerequisites
- Attend the HPA meeting on application procedures
- Study for and take the MCAT in the spring or the DAT or GRE in the spring or early summer
- Request letters of recommendation
- Write the personal statement for your application (plan on doing multiple drafts!)
- Complete the candidate information form and meet with the health professions advisor
Summer after Junior Year
- Hold a relevant internship
- Complete your applications for med school, if hoping to go on right after graduation
- Consider taking the MCAT, if you will be applying at the end of senior year
- Take the pertinent test (i.e. DAT, OAT, GRE) for your field of interest, if you haven't done so already
Senior Year
- Maintain high level of academic performance
- Put energy into your honors project or independent study

Winter and Spring World Topper Scholarships Announced
|Author: WKU Study Abroad & Global Learning
Date: Thursday, December 5th, 2013
|Return to Archive
Over 275 WKU students will be studying abroad this winter and spring semester, 160 of which will receive a World Topper Scholarship sponsored through the Office of Study Abroad & Global Learning (SAGL) this semester. Over $65,000 was awarded for the upcoming winter and spring terms, with an average investment of $393.00 per student.
SAGL awarded over $31,000.00 for the winter and over $34,000.00 for the spring, helping make international education opportunities possible for nearly 60% of these study abroad students. SAGL will continue to invest in our students through the World Topper Scholarship fund later in the spring semester for summer study abroad programs.
The World Topper Scholarship is one of a number of WKU study abroad scholarships for which students can apply for funding toward their international programs. Others include the SGA Study Abroad/Teach Abroad Award, the Honors Travel Abroad Grant (HTAG), and DELO Faculty Led Study Abroad (FLSA) Award. Additionally, new interdepartmental collaborations have recently created three new grants, the Gilman Supplemental and Alternate Gilman Grants (Office of International Programs and Office of Scholar Development), and the Diversity Abroad Grant (OIDI, OIP, and Enrollment Management) that are helping students have life changing experiences.
WKU Senior Lendee Sanchez, Broadcasting major, received the World Topper Scholarship last year toward her study abroad program in the Czech Republic. She fully understands and appreciates the resources that WKU provides students. "Paying for study abroad is hard, but it is nice to know that our university cares enough about us to offer scholarships like the World Topper, this way students have the chance to come back and bring an international perspective to WKU," said Sanchez.
Funding study abroad experiences can be one of the main concerns students are faced with in the beginning of their study abroad adventure. Students at WKU are fortunate to have various resources available to them which assist them financially to gain international reach through study abroad programs. The World Topper Scholarship is one of the most popular study abroad scholarships available to all WKU students who wish to study abroad. The Study Abroad and Global Learning Office (SAGL) administers this scholarship in order to assist students in pursuing their ambitions overseas, consequently enabling our students tocontribute to WKU's international reach.
To learn more about the WT and how to study abroad contact Abby Leake at 270-745-6146.
