For more than a dozen years, the corps was the heartbeat of the college, but over time it sadly faded away. The new marching band and drum and bugle corps will give students the chance to march with pride for Marian University once again.
In 1964, Marian College student, John Sweany, had a vision to bring the excitement that he experienced through his high school marching band to Marian College. With only six classmates and some bargain instruments, John quickly formed the Marian Blue Knights—the first college Drum and Bugle Corps in the United States.
Since the original Marian College Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, the Marian University bands program has evolved into many performance ensembles, including:
The bands at Marian University have performed for many prestigious events on and off campus. The bands perform for home football games, parades, pep rallies, home basketball games, Midwest Cycling Classic, community concerts and private events. Some of the notable performances include an invitation of the Mexican Consulate to perform music for Mexican composers Jose Moncayo and Manuel Esperon at the Mexican Independence Day festival at Garfield Park in Indianapolis to over 7,000 in attendance. Other notable events include performing for private events of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a recording session of the Marian University "Marching Knights" Marching Band at Aire Born Studios.
If you would like more information on becoming a "Marching Knight" and/or how you can audition for a marching band scholarship, no matter what your major is, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Admission or our assistant director, Brent Hornaday.

The long courtship of Byron and Pat Smith
Pat Smith, 86, holds a photo of her late husband, Byron, from his days in the military. (Amy Vogelsang Photo)
It was 1943. England's WWII had been going on for nearly f[auth] our years, and although it impacted the country as a whole, there were some who took the less-than-ideal circumstances and found a silver lining within the chaos.
Pat Smith was one such person.
Being only 12 when the war broke out, Smith was not as distraught as her older sister. But when 1943 rolled around, her world —unbeknownst to her at the time — was forever changed.
Her family owned a small pub, The Seven Stars, and although women weren't typically allowed to run them ("When men get tipsy they don't just get tipsy, Smith explained) her mother was allowed to carry on with the business in her father's absence so long as no problems arose.
This little pub with its round tables ended up attracting five American officers – one of whom was named Byron "Smitty" Smith.
They walked in, sat down and asked Smith's mother what there was to drink. After hearing the list, one man swiftly replied:
"Well, I'll tell you what: Everybody has decided they'd like a beer. I'm going to pay, but I'm going to let you explain the money to us, and let you handle the money. I know you won't diddle us."
After that The Seven Stars became their local haunt. Even after 10 p.m. when beer could no longer be served, they would drop by just for the camaraderie and atmosphere of the pub.
"They would come around closing time," Smith explained. "Mother would say, 'Come in and make yourselves comfortable, but I can't sell you any beer.' And they said, 'That's OK. We just want to get to know our British family.'"
Smith wasn't even supposed to be in the bar as she was not yet 16, but because her mother needed the help, Smith would often find herself behind the counter, towel in hand, cleaning glasses.
One night when she walked to the back in the serving area, she saw a captain watching her.
"I saw this guy standing there and kind of smiling, you know," she said. "And I said, 'Sir, I hear you are a Texan where it takes them forever to yes or no.' And he said that was the opening, and that's what did it in."
From then on, Smitty followed Smith around, completely smitten as it were. But Smith was not one to let things happen easily and she would keep telling him she was not yet 16, to which he always replied: "I don't care."
Smitty's "partner in crime," Maj. Earl Carral, however, did care. He pulled Smith aside one night and told her to leave Smitty alone as he was practically engaged to his sister-in-law.
"I'm to leave Smitty alone?" she had asked in shock. "Don't you see the shoe is on the other foot? Smitty better leave me alone because you don't know my temper yet."
And indeed, Smith was not one to let things go: She set out to get even.
That incident was on a Thursday, and on the following Saturday, they had a party at the pub for the gents, a common occurrence at The Seven Stars. Smith had recently learned to make mince pies, and so decided to make exactly 11 for the gentlemen.
All the pies were delicious, except for one. She reserved a special pie for Maj. Carral, one filled with wool instead of sweetness. And when he bit into it he spat and sputtered and tried to chase Smith. His colonel, however, held Carral back saying he had better apologize or leave. Turns out everyone learned of the little discussion he had with Smith, and no one had taken the major's side.
But in the end all the men had to leave, as Smith knew would eventually be the case.
"(Smitty) kissed me goodbye and left," she said, the remorse in her voice making it clear the memories were still sharp. "That was the last time I saw him for (about) 16 months."
In the time he was away, she moved to a different village, into a small cottage. Nevertheless, one afternoon there was a knock at the door.
"I opened the door, and I said, 'Smitty I thought you were dead!' There he stood. And he said, 'Yeah, can I come in?' I said 'Yeah.'" Meanwhile, the taxi driver, having been one of multiple drivers taking Smitty on his scavenger hunt to find Smith, was grinning ear to ear.
Turns out Smitty had given himself his own furlough just to seek out Smith and see her again. They went on walks and talked, about nothing in particular. They enjoyed their time together. Of course, like all great romances, this one was cut short when Smitty had to return to his post nine days later.
"Towards the end of his furlough, he looked down at me," Smith recalled. "He stopped, and my hand was in his. He said, 'I don't know what… How is this… Well, I'm so much older than you.'"
He was 11 going on 12 years older.
"He was getting very amorous, and I said behave. We're going to behave. Of course, I was 17 by this point … he said, 'Well you're still that pretty girl I fell in love with.' That was the closest he ever came to asking me to marry him. He never said he loved me. I mean he kissed me, but a lot of guys did."
Yet, somehow it was different with Smitty. But their nine days together ended, and she waved him off at the train station.
Nine days later, there was a knock at the door.
"Smitty!," Smith had exclaimed. There he was, once again standing at her door. He had given himself another furlough, and the men all said, "There must be a woman in the picture." He said, "No, there's a nice young lady."
"Who you talking about?" Smith had asked, to which Smitty replied, "I don't know what to think of you."
Smith had fallen in love. And saying goodbye to him on the train was as painful as ever. For both of them. Smitty wrote later:
"It was horrible looking back and seeing your mournful little face watching as the train moved out with me on it."
"You don't know how bad it was," Smith had replied.
But being apart did not stop them from falling in love, and although few and far in between, the occasional letter solidified their decision to get married.
After the war, Smitty went back to the States, and on Oct. 19, 1947, Smith joined him in Texas.
"Come on let's get married," Smitty had said.
"Wait a minute; let me catch my breath," Smith responded.
They waited 10 days for her to "catch her breath," and on Oct. 29, they were married. They remained so for 57 years until Smitty passed away in August of 2005.
"So it was a long courtship," Smith concluded. "A long waiting time. But it worked out."

Concerns over military voting in recall election
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - It's a scramble to make sure the recall elections of state Sens. John Morse and Angela Giron are fair after a judge ruled that candidates can join the race up until 15 days before the election.
Some are concerned about the more than 900 military and overseas voters who've already received ballots that will likely be outdated by the time the Sept. 10 election day arrives.
"Military service members overseas are going to have a difficult time voting and, if they do vote, many are going to lose the right to a secret ballot," said Garrett Reppenhagen, a veteran and member of the nonprofit Vet Voice Foundation.
For all elections, military members can vote through email, fax or a secure website,
but they waive their right to a secret ballot when voting this way. One person in the county elections office sees their name and vote.
"I think just trusting the fact that one person is going to see your ballot, and it's not necessarily secret isn't comforting to every service member and every voter," said Reppenhagen.
Pueblo and El Paso county election leaders are working to notify military members about changes in the recall. They're being told the best way to vote at this point is by email, fax or website, but they still have the option of mailing a secret ballot as long as it arrives at least eight days after Sept. 10.
"We're working with the Secretary of State's Office, who is looking at vendors who may be able to ensure the (mailed) ballots come back in a more speedy manner," said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams.
Williams points out that in traditional elections, many service members opt to waive their secret ballot. In the last election, 996 voted by email, 58 by fax and just 121 by mail.
"Most of them choose to do that because they trust our staff member who handles these matters," said Williams.
It was the Libertarian Party that sued the state to get additional candidates on the ballot. So far no third-party candidates have gotten enough signatures to appear on the ballot along with Democrat John Morse and Republican challenger Bernie Herpin for Senate District 11, and Democrat Angela Giron and Republican challenger George Rivera for Senate District 3. The two senators are being recalled because some are angry about their support of gun control legislation.
The judge's ruling to allow more candidates on the ballot means that local voters will have to go to polling places instead of using the mail. Williams says, with the addition of some new polling places, 89 percent of El Paso Co. voters will be within five minutes of a polling place, the rest within 10 minutes.
He said the recall will cost the county about $220,000, up $70,000 by having to move the election to polling places.
Pueblo's Clerk and Recorder Bo Ortiz said he's still calculating the total cost. He said it was at about $180,000 before having to move to the polls.

Private equity firm Bain Capital is reportedly looking to sell Applied Systems in a deal that could value the insurance software provider at more than $1bn.
Bain is currently in advanced talks with other private equity firms and a deal could be sealed as soon as this week, said Reuters, citing three people familiar with the matter.
The report did not say which firms were in talks to acquire the company from Bain.
Bain bought Applied Systems, which provides software to insurers and brokerages, from Vista Equity Partners in 2006.
Last week Bain pulled out of advanced talks to buy vehicle parts supplier TI Automotive after failing to meet the $2bn asking price.
The firm was willing to pay $1.5bn for the company, Reuters reported.

Eric (Helena): I was in charge of physically setting up the UAB Arena (that was what it was called before being changed to Bartow Arena) and one year UAB had to wait on a phone call to see if they were going to the NIT. I sat in Coach Bartow's office and it was amazing to listen to him call high profile college coaches, just like if i was calling my friends, to see if they had heard from the NIT people.

The Evolution of Dining Services
Arnie's Snack Shop History
The legacy of Arnie's began in the fall of 1985, when the first pizza was sold in McCowen Hall under the direction of Charles Wilson and Arnold Waddel. In fact, the name Arnie's came from its first manager, Arnold Waddel.
In 1986, a new student management team took over Arnie's. From that point on, Arnie's ingredients and recipes were standardized to develop our campus-wide popular menu. Arnie's signature menu items include calzones, pizzas, and bread sticks. Also in 1986, Arnie's not only delivered to West Campus but to Central Campus, as well.
In 1987, Arnie's began the charge system for McCowen residents only. By Fall of 1988, Arnie's expanded its charge system to all students living on campus. Spring Semester 1993, Arnie's opened a new location on Central Campus for delivery only.
By 1996, Arnie's established itself as an in-house pizza brand and was introduced at the University Center food court. The delivery and charge programs were dropped in the same year in favor of promoting Arnie's new location at the University Center.
Arnie's is a progressive establishment with a strong student team behind it. Since 1986, Arnie's has been "run by students for students." Its mission is to create a dynamic atmosphere focusing on student programming and quality food for the University of Northern Colorado students and staff.

I carry my CW9 in a HighNoon Holsters Skin Guard. I've been very happy with it. It holds the gun it tight and secure although it is an open top holster. They make the same thing with a thumb snap called the Skin Tight, it might work better for your situation. Here's a link to their holster page with pics of all of them.
Belt Holsters
Unless you wear suspenders and leave your tool bag belt unbuckled, belt carry is out of the question. I tried it and the pistol digs into your side and hurts like hell. Maybe a 'holster shirt' would work, otherwise I'd suggest a pocket gun. Good luck, and Welcome Aboard.
Something like THIS. Never tried one though.

Picked up my Kahr at the gunshop this evening and went out on the range,all I can say is sweeeeeet.I put my pride in my pocket and asked the counter help if they had anyone that could show me the points in handling a semi.I think everyone wanted to get out on the firing line.All I can say is kudous to Brighton Arms in Brighton,Tn.
Carry my CW9 in an M-Tac, great gun and great holster. I have a blade-tech also that isn't too bad but I always end up wearing the M-Tac.

You want quality? Quick delivery? Reasonable price? Great looking leather?
Go to the top of the page...see 'Related Links'...find holsters...search out Fist holsters.

[AUDIO]: @JMeacham On Obama's "Classic American Tone" During Inauguration
Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, talked to Brian about President Obama's inaugural speech yesterday. Meacham thought that for 95% of the President's speech yesterday, he struck a "classic American tone," and that we should feel pretty good about where we are right now as a country. "Whether that will last beyond the week, we'll see," Meacham said.

A bus driver is defending himself after being criticized over a 20-second video was released of two women fighting on his bus.
Bruce Robertson says the video doesn't show the whole story.
A mother is seen beating on another woman after she allegedly uttered threats towards her and her children, while Robertson watches.
But he tells CKNW the video stopped before he broke the fight off.
"You gotta pick your moment to get in, so you're not going to get yourself hurt either. And I did separate the two parties and I got myself between them. Making sure the instigator had her way out the back door."
Robertson says no one else on the bus moved to intervene.
Instead, he says, they cheered on the mother to continue beating the woman.

Keys to Success: What Students Should Learn in Mathematics
Summary: In these brief remarks I will broadly outline the mathematical background that is required for a student intending to follow a career in science, engineering, economics or other technical fields. I will also discuss to what degree we are successful in providing this knowledge, and how this impacts on the learning and teaching of mathematics at the university level. These comments are based on my own experiences as an educator, past department chairman, and research mathematician at the University of Wisconsin, but they reflect widespread views among the mathematical community.
It is well known that prosperity in our highly competitive global community is fueled by a steady stream of technological and scientific advances, all of which inevitably contain a mathematical core. Likewise, successful careers in science and engineering all require a thorough and rigorous understanding of basic mathematics. The level of sophistication of the mathematical tools used say in a Wall Street firm has increased dramatically over time, and similarly many biological disciplines are becoming increasingly quantitative in nature. It seems clear that if our undergraduates are to compete successfully in this highly technological society, then they must be provided with adequate mathematical skills.
A high school student aspiring to follow a successful career in science, engineering, economics or any other technical field must obtain a solid mathematical training before she or he enrolls in college. For this to be realistic, a student has to enter college with at least a solid high school pre-calculus background, or, even better, a course in calculus as preparation. Obtaining a realistic comprehension of the depth and complexity required in the mathematics of science and engineering is a critical goal at this stage. A key objective must be to ensure that the student understands mathematical concepts, which is very different from memorization. This involves both knowing the concepts as well as being able to apply them in a variety of settings. The following is a brief summary of the main topics which are required as background for learning higher mathematics such as calculus:
Arithmetic, Algebra and Symbolic Manipulation: the ability to handle mathematical expressions and correctly apply rules of arithmetic and algebra is fundamental, and requires extensive practice. Students should know how to solve systems of linear equations, the general solution of a quadratic equation, polynomial identities, rules of exponents , etc.
Geometry and Trigonometry: the elements of plane geometry, including congruent and similar triangles, ratios, the Pythagorean Theorem, angles, sines, cosines, trigonometric identities, areas and volumes; understanding lines, circles, ellipses, parabolas, etc. using their defining equations and geometric representations.
Functions and Sets: understanding the notion of a function between two sets; extensive familiarity with examples including polynomials, trigonometric functions, logarithms, exponentials; ability to graph and interpret functions.
This list is of course not an exhaustive one, there are other important (but perhaps less fundamental) topics to consider, such as for example: geometric series and their application to computing interest rates, elements of probability theory, basic notions of statistics, etc.
The broad topics outlined above should be taught in a manner which makes clear that mathematical proofs necessarily underlie the whole subject, but at the same time providing abundant `real world' examples. At each stage, problem-solving skills should be nurtured, and students should be constantly challenged. The use of calculators and computers is of course an important component in solving mathematical problems, but they should simply be considered educational tools, as they are no substitute for mathematical reasoning. More generally the student should acquire a level of comfort in manipulating mathematics at an appropriate level. This means being able to apply the concepts to solving problems in a consistent, systematic and accurate manner, thus obtaining an appropriate measure of self-confidence which will be indispensable when moving on to courses at a higher level. Clinging on to sheets of formulas without a sound theoretical knowledge is counterproductive. The student should be taught to fully comprehend the intrinsic value of a precise mathematical definition, and to appreciate the logical steps behind mathematical thinking.
I have outlined the basic mathematical background required for taking more advanced mathematics courses in college. Of course it would be ideal for a student to cover calculus in his senior year at high school. However, this subject can be successfully taught to college students within their first two years, provided they have an adequate preparation along the lines we have described above. One should keep in mind that calculus and sometimes even more advanced mathematics courses are a prerequisite for practically every technical major offered at a university; indeed mathematics plays the role of a fundamental language for an enormous number of diverse disciplines.
Unfortunately, the current situation seems to be that too many incoming university students have not obtained an adequate mathematical background in high school, and they are poorly prepared to learn mathematics at a higher level. Essential skills in basic subjects such as arithmetic and algebra are often weak, and due to this poor preparation every year, nationwide, hundreds of thousands of incoming undergraduates must take remedial math courses, which are comparable to courses in early high school or even middle school. Unfortunately, this huge remediation effort does not provide much help in steering students towards careers in science or engineering. Once they have fallen behind, the vast majority of these students will opt for a non-technical major.
The reasons for this situation are not hard to find, and the fault does not lie with the students. Far too many of them simply do not receive a proper mathematical education in K-12, regardless of the curriculum that may have been used in their schools. If essential skills in arithmetic, algebra and geometry are not adequately developed early on, these deficiencies will build up over time, and when the student enrolls at a university, they are usually hard to remedy. A lack of mathematical background becomes increasingly difficult to overcome as courses reach higher levels. Once students have fallen behind it becomes almost impossible to catch up. As a consequence of a deficient K-12 background, these mathematically deprived students are denied the opportunity to unleash their natural talents in areas such as science, engineering and economics.
Hence we have a paradox: while society now requires an increasingly sophisticated level of mathematical training, it seems that average students have declining mathematical skills. Of particular concern are the often deficient math skills of prospective elementary school teachers that we see in the college classroom; this most certainly has a direct impact on the quality of their instruction, thus perpetuating the vicious circle of low performance. One of the key objectives of the administration's Math and Science Initiative is to improve the math skills of prospective and in-service K-8 teachers. To make a difference this will require the involvement of research level mathematicians in structuring better courses for current and future teachers.
As most of us know, US doctoral programs are the best in the world, and a large share of the world's leading scientists and mathematicians hold American degrees. However the situation is not as good as it sounds. The truth is that most math graduate programs rely very heavily on the influx of bright young scholars from abroad. Students from Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe are eager to seize the opportunity of a higher education in the United States (indeed I am such an example, as I received a college degree in Mexico, a Ph.D. at Princeton University and today I am a United States citizen). In contrast, the pool of native born American talent is insufficient, and many domestic students are simply too poorly equipped to compete with foreign students. This is often due to an undergraduate preparation which is substantially weaker than the international standard, caused by an inadequate K-12 preparation for college; catching up can be a formidable challenge. Once again this is a result of a less than optimal preparation at a lower level, which telescopes into deficiencies at each subsequent step in an individual's education.
Looking at the situation one step further we see that when hiring mathematics and science faculty, foreign applicants will very often have a much stronger record than their American counterparts. Hence our universities hire large numbers of foreign scientists and engineers. These people are welcome additions to our talent pool, but it is a sad commentary that it comes at the expense of our own children.
To summarize, one can identify two basic problems: (1) attracting more students into mathematics, engineering, science and other technical areas, and (2) providing them with the necessary skills for success. These problems arise early on in our educational system, but as we have seen they can telescope out to the highest levels, impacting the entire mathematical enterprise in our country. Although solutions are not easy to find, at the very least we should make a concerted effort to significantly increase the involvement of research mathematicians in K-12 education issues. Given their knowledge of higher mathematics and extensive teaching experience, mathematicians (as well as other scientists and engineers) can surely make critical contributions in helping to address the problems we have discussed.
We cannot afford to ignore the deplorable consequences of the current state of affairs. In order to ensure the continued success of American science and industry we must develop a strategy to significantly raise the mathematical standards in our educational system. In the absence of decisive action, the problems which we are witnessing are likely to cascade into a disastrous avalanche.

EL MONTE - It's been more than three years since the city successfully passed a sales tax measure aimed at boosting its dwindling reserves and funding vital services, such and public safety.
And when more than 70 percent of local voters agreed to pay the half-percent sales tax hike known as Measure GG, they were also promised an oversight committee meant to scrutinize exactly how the city was spending the extra cash.
But that group hasn't met since 2009.
"Those five people, if they're doing their job correctly, (the committee is) the voice of the community," said Jerry Velasco, a November City Council candidate who was originally appointed to the committee. "If you take that away, you're taking a right away from the people, which is their voice, their ears and their eyes."
The committee has not been meeting because of limited city staff resources and a lack of clear mission and guidelines for the group, including how often it should meet, Mayor Andre Quintero and Finance Director Julio Morales said.
And city officials say although the committee hasn't convened in a few years, they've been diligent in keeping the community updated on the budget. And some local residents agree.
"The role (of the committee) was making sure people knew how we're spending that money and I think we've done that," Morales said.
The city has hosted town hall meetings and presented budget updates to help the public understand how that money is being spent, Morales said.
Officials say the revenue from Measure GG has kept El Monte afloat during a financially daunting time.
Since its passage in November 2008, it has generated more than $7.5 million in revenue for El Monte. Those who shop in El Monte pay a 9.25 percent sales tax while those in Los Angeles County pay 8.75 percent.
The measure was not passed for any specific use and is funneled directly into the city's general fund, co-mingling with other revenue sources to pay the city's bills. The monies account for roughly 6 percent of the total general fund budget, according to the city's budget figures.
Tough fiscal times
But even with the Measure GG funds, El Monte is facing tough fiscal times. The city's general fund revenues, with the additional funds, still dropped more than $10 million from fiscal 2007-08 to fiscal 2010-11.
The city laid off more than 100 employees in 2009 to help fill a roughly $12 million budget deficit that year. And El Monte is now operating on "bare bones" with 295 full time employees, 112 less than it had in 2006, City Manager Rene Bobadilla says.
Still, the city faces a $1.5 million deficit next fiscal year.
"I think it's useful to have citizen participation to get a maybe more in-depth perspective of where the resources are going in particular," Quintero said of the Measure GG funds. "The more people are involved encourages transparency. But at least over the last couple of years we have not been engaging our citizens as effectively as possible."
Quintero said it was just not a priority of past councilmembers.
However, the oversight committee was repeatedly the subject of council discussions before and after the measure was passed.
According to videotaped minutes of the Dec. 16, 2008 City Council meeting, councilmembers seemed very concerned as to who could serve on the Measure GG oversight committee.
`It's a joke'
Former councilwoman Emily Ishigaki recommended that the committee have 10 members instead of the proposed five to avoid the risk of members not showing up to meetings. The City Council ultimately decided that the committee would not include councilmembers over concern that they may have too much influence over other committee members.
"All the more we should have more residents on the committee," Ishigaki said in the meeting. "I feel that we owe it to the residents to let them really dig in."
Ultimately the City Council in January 2009 appointed five members to the committee, which met only a couple times, former members said.
"They didn't even have any information about any of the revenues about the tax at that time," said Maria Sepulveda, a city employee who was appointed by Councilman Juventino "J" Gomez. "That's why I kept insisting that we meet because I wanted to see the figures. But we never did."
However, as a member of a city bargaining unit, administrators are good about providing information about the city budget, Sepulveda said.
Longtime resident Cosme Jimenez, who was also one of the original committee members, said he wasn't too concerned about the lack of meetings because oversight committees really have no real power anyway. Instead, city councilmembers hold the real influence, he said.
"To tell you the truth, the oversight committees, they're only to please the taxpayers," he said. "The schools also have a couple of oversight committees. It's a joke."
Tax extension brewing?
And Jimenez said city administrators have been hard at work to clean up the budget mess they inherited.
The City Council this year also decided to temporarily halt discretionary committee meetings such as the Beautification Committee, Community Cultural Commission and Community Services Commission until July as the city evaluates their effectiveness, city officials said.
"Some of it is due to lack of staff resources," Quintero said of the Measure GG oversight committee. "There's coordination involved and you have to set a clear purpose and mission for a particular committee."
According to the resolution the City Council passed in July 2008 approving the measure for the November 2008 ballot, the fiscal oversight committee serves to "analyze and make recommendations as to the annual expenditure of revenues generated."
There were few other details as to how often the committee was to meet or a clear and specific outline of their duties.
Members can include residents who are registered voters, business owners or employees of an El Monte business or a member of a city employee bargaining unit.
The additional half-cent sales tax approved under Measure GG automatically sunsets in April 2014.
The city has recently mulled the idea of going back to ask voters to extend the tax hikes until 2019. Councilmembers early last month ultimately decided against moving forward with the extension for now, although the proposal could be brought back to the table before it expires, officials have said.

Love is more powerful than death. We are renewed (especially those of us living through a Midwestern winter!) in the approaching of spring and Easter, and since poetry has a way of saying things that cannot otherwise be expressed, I share with you this English translation of a Rumi poem.
Spring is Christ
Everyone has eaten and fallen asleep.
The house is empty.
We walk out to the garden to let the apple
meet the peach, to carry messages
between rose and jasmine.
Spring is Christ,
raising martyred plants from their shrouds.
A leaf trembles. I tremble
in the wind-beauty like silk from Turkestan.
The censer fans into flame.
This wind is the Holy Spirit.
The trees are Mary.
Watch how husband and wife play subtle games
with their hands. Strings of cloudy pearls
are thrown across the lovers,
as is the marriage custom.
We talk about this and that. There is no rest
except on these branching moments.
[Jelaluddin Rumi, the 13th Century Persian Sufi philosopher-poet, is believed by some to be the most widely read poet in America]

Adams, Taylor and Shields win first ever women's boxing gold medals Olympic history was re-written at the ExCeL with the first ever Women's boxing gold medals presented to Nicolas Adams of Great Britain, Ireland's Katie Taylor and Claressa Shields of the United States. The first of the Women's Finals, the Flyweights (51kg), saw Great Britain's Nicola Adams faced her nemesis in the last two AIBA World Boxing Championships, the boxer who defeated her both times in the final and the dominant force in this weight category, China's 26-year-old Cancan Ren. It began at a frantic pace with Adams seemingly landing the cleaner shots with a couple of big right hands finding their target. It was fast and furious with the Brit taking the first round 4:2. Unrelenting in the second, Adams continued to unload on Ren, and midway through the round, she threw a huge right that floored the Chinese southpaw, with Ren having to take a standing eight count. The partisan crowd were singing in unison, "Nico...

Date of Defense 2008-03-31 Availability unrestricted AbstractWood is important in forest ecology because its large biomass serves as a nutritional substrate and habitat for many organisms, including Coleoptera, and beetles contribute greatly to nutrient recycling in forests. Overlapping complexes of beetles invade dead wood according to the species of tree, ambient conditions, and most importantly, stage of decomposition. Beetle succession was studied in loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.) and southern red oaks (Quercus falcata Michx.) by documenting beetle arrival and residency in cut, reassembled, and standing bolts. Twelve trees of each species at Feliciana Preserve in West Feliciana parish, LA were felled during October 2004 and April 2005 for a total of 24 trees sampled from October 2004 – September 2005. Four 48-inch bolts were cut from each felled tree. Each bolt was further cut into eight six-inch sections, reassembled in proper order, and positioned standing upright. Beetles were aspirated from section interfaces weekly the first month and then monthly for the duration of the study.
A total 51,119 specimens from 190 taxa were collected from 3822 samples during 18 sampling events. Species richness and abundance were higher on southern red oak wood (144 taxa, 40874 specimens) than loblolly pine (122 taxa, 10245 specimens); abundance was significantly higher. Colonization and species composition patterns of coleoptera were significantly affected by host tree species, the season in which the tree died, the period of decay, the position or height along the woody substrate and many complex interactions of these effects. Loblolly pine bolts showed a slightly more rapid turnover of taxa than southern red oak bolts. Wood characteristics such as loss of moisture, which caused bark to loosen on pines, and higher quality substrate hardwood in oaks presumably account for the greater number of taxa and specimens collected from southern red oak than loblolly pine. This study has increased the number of species known to inhabit recently dead loblolly pine and southern red oak, two economically important tree species. Studies of this nature supplement investigations into the importance of coarse woody debris in forests by documenting ecological patterns of saproxylic coleoptera.

It was just laying there in the showcase at a local gun shop I visit ofen. A S&W Model 31-1!! Pristene condition, 2" barrel. It looks like it has never been fired--not even a line between the lock up holes on the cylinder. A nice addition to my collection--not! The "war dept"(wife) has cabbaged on to it and proclaims it as her own. Pretty cool, a J frame with a 6 shot cylinder. .32 S&W Long aint the most powerful round out there, butit is better than throwing rocks.
OH--I got it for $350 and the dealer threw in a used holster that has seen better days but fits it like a glove and a box of ammo.
Now I have to order shellholder, dies and bullets and the little lady will be good to go with a pistol that looks good and shoots as good as it looks.

Editing Your Negative Scans2012-10-02 4 Share Tweet
If you have succeeded in scanning your negatives, it might come in handy to know a couple of softwares that can help you edit your scanned negatives. Check out the article to find out which softwares are helpful!
Many of you are probably clicking on the "Dust Removal" button when you're scanning your negatives. This feature can be great, but it can also ruin your photo. It's best to leave you scanning options as natural as possible. If you need to edit your slide scans, try using one of these tools:
This software is expensive, but if you want to go all out when editing your images, Photoshop has everything you need.
This is a lighter version of Photoshop. It doesn't have all of the tools that Photoshop is equipped with, but it should be enough to edit your scanned negatives. You can try the free trial or buy it for around $300.
This software is free! That's right. GIMP is a free image altering software. It has the same (well almost) features as Photoshop. So if you don't mind learning how to use a new software, GIMP is perfect for editing those scanned negatives!

This past weekend, United took one of its final steps in its merger with Continental as it combined both airline websites into one, but not without problems – some of which are continuing.
United's Weekend Website Problems
Visitors to the new United.com site will see a notice – updated as of this morning (March 5) – that reads as follows:
"Contact centers are currently experiencing extraordinarily high call volumes. In some cases hold times exceed an hour, and you may be prompted to try your call at another time."
'What Will Happen to My Continental/United Miles?'
The airline adds an apology and says it is working to improve its service, but many passengers have been inconvenienced or worse.
United Flight Delays at Chicago O'Hare
Many delays and even cancelations were seen at United gates scattered throughout the nation's airports.
At one point on Saturday, media reports said United's on-time percentage rate for flights out of Chicago's O'Hare was just 16 percent (most airlines shoot for a goal of 80 percent), with at least one canceled flight and nearly 50 others delayed by close to an hour or more.
Kioks and Call Center Problems – and Progress
Airport kiosk problems were also common at airports, with the machines not recognizing miles program membership numbers and/or just generally being non-responsive. Complaining to United's call center didn't do much good as callers were put on hold for an hour or more, or simply told to get off and try later.
Although the call center warning notice about high volume remains on the airline site, according to FlightStats there were few very few delays at U.S. airports this morning including at United hub cities, so it seems as if progress is indeed being made.

Blink 182 star Travis Barker plans to use the band's forthcoming tour of Australia to overcome his crippling fear of flying.
The American pop-punk band have confirmed shows in February with the most likely destination being at Soundwave festival.
Barker is desperate to get past his fear of flying so that his children will stop worrying about getting on a plane.
The drummer survived a 2008 plane crash in South Carolina that killed two friends, a pilot and his assistant, and left the rocker with burns all over his body.
Barker hasn't been able to contemplate flying ever since, causing all kinds of logistical problems for his reunited bandmates as they plan international tours.
But he insists he won't be a casualty of the past and has plans to overcome his phobia, so he can join Blink 182 on the road in Australia.
"I'm contemplating getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia.
"I want to overcome that eventually,'' he told The Red Bulletin magazine.
"When I do, I think it's going to be Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality.
"It's something I want to overcome for me, and my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.''
Howerer there is a chance that Blink 182 will travel to Australia without Barker after he told a fan a replacement drummer would be drafted in his place.
"Mark (Hoppus) and Tom (DeLonge) will be there in Feb of next year but with a full in drummer cause I dont fly. Sorry brotha," Barker tweeted.

I am on the lookout for a gadget that works with windows 7 to mainly display cpu and gpu temp. any other parts of it will be an advantage! i already have one to show cpu and ram useage. the only one i found was useless it said to instal lsome other software with the gadget then that wanted some other software to work and overall it didnt do what i wanted!


text: No, well sorta. She uses some sticky fusible interfacing to stick it all together. You have to be very careful when you cut each piece that it lands right side up or you will have things stuck to your iron. My technique uses NO glue, NO sticky stuff. Once it is quilted, you can toss it in the washer, roll it, fold it..whatever. I don't cut the confetti one piece at a time either. I use my rotary cutter.

Straumann USA and Patterson Dental team up to bring a new standard of care to implant placement in general practice
- Straumann® One implant package to be distributed to dentists in the US
Andover, MA and St. Paul, MN, 28 October 2014: Straumann, a world leader in tooth replacement solutions, and Patterson Companies (Nasdaq: PDCO), one of the largest distributors of dental capital equipment and supplies to general practitioners in North America, announced today that they will work together to further increase the standard of patient care in dental implant placement in general dental practice.
Dental implants placed by general practitioners – a growing trend in the US
In the past, Straumann and its academic partner, the International Team for Implantology (ITI), focused almost exclusively on dental specialists – Straumann as a manufacturer and provider of tooth replacement solutions and the ITI as the leading network in research and education in implantology. However, current market research1 points to a growing trend of general practitioners (GPs) becoming active in the surgical placement of implants. At the same time, a recent article in the Journal of the American Dental Association reported on a US study showing that 18.7% of dental implants placed by GPs failed2.
Straumann and Patterson respond responsibly
"As responsible corporation, Straumann cannot ignore these developments. We have taken a leadership position in the North American implant market in collaboration with our surgical specialists, education partners and our new distribution partner, Patterson Dental, to improve the quality of education to GPs who are placing or considering placing implants. Patterson Dental shares our views and values, and enables us to reach a very large number of general dentists in North America", said Andy Molnar, Executive Vice President and Head of Straumann North America.
"Straumann's implant system is among the best in the world in terms of innovative design, precision and quality. Furthermore, its clinical track record is extensive and unparalleled. These factors, and the company's responsible approach towards GPs through education and support, give us full assurance that we are offering customers reliable, predictable and convenient solutions for tooth replacement. We are very excited to work with Straumann to benefit dentists and their patients", said Paul Guggenheim, President, Patterson Dental.
The partnership will foster the interdisciplinary relationship between specialists, GPs and dental laboratories to improve collaboration in referring patients to specialists and in coordinating treatment plans. This approach will increase implant opportunities for all professionals by better identifying patient cases that are currently not considered for implant therapy, thus raising the standard of care and enabling better patient outcomes.
For the GP choosing to place implants, comprehensive education will be provided by education partner Spear Education through an interdisciplinary implant curriculum developed and taught by specialists. GPs may only participate with the supportive presence of a surgical specialist during and after the curriculum. This specialist-led approach will ensure ongoing educational support for the GP. Straumann's academic partner, the ITI will continue to provide evidence-based implant education through a variety of channels, such as the ITI Online Academy – which has just been launched, publications, research and membership.
Straumann ® One – specifically designed to help general practitioners
To address the current market place trends – and to reach GPs outside the Straumann surgical referral network, Straumann and Patterson Dental will distribute the Straumann® One implant package to GPs in the US in 2015 through a phased approach. Straumann® One is a convenient, all-in-one package, applicable for straightforward indications only. It simplifies the component choice for the GP – both surgically and restoratively – and gives the labs flexibility to choose which crown to use for the Straumann Variobase™ abutment supplied in the package.
Straumann® One will be available exclusively through Patterson Dental together with the Spear Interdisciplinary Implant Curriculum.
Andy Molnar added: "We believe that, with our surgical specialists, Spear Education and Patterson Dental, we have developed a comprehensive, unique and responsible leadership position to address the changing trends in implant dentistry. This inclusive approach will enhance the quality of patient care and further advance dental implantology in North America".

BeschreibungGary Soto writes that when he was five "what I knew best was at ground level." In this lively collection of short essays, Soto takes his reader to a ground-level perspective, resreating in vivid detail the sights, sounds, smells, and textures he knew growing up in his Fresno, California, neighborhood. The "things" of his boyhood tie it all together: his Buddha "splotched with gold," the taps of his shoes and the "engines of sparks that lived beneath my soles," his worn tennies smelling of "summer grass, asphalt, the moist sock breathing the defeat of basesall." The child's world is made up of small things--small, very important things.
