About UTSA Sustainability
UTSA President Ricardo Romo established the UTSA Sustainability Council on Aug. 27, 2010, to enhance university efforts to support a "green" environment.
The standing committee is developing a five-year plan for UTSA programs and collaboration with community organizations.
"The Sustainability Council was established in response to UTSA community interest in taking a more proactive role in this important area," said Romo. "I am enthusiastic about what I think will be an important contribution to making UTSA and our community greener."
How does UTSA define Sustainability?
In the UTSA Handbook of Operating Principles (HOP 9.43)
Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the present users without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This can be accomplished by seeking a balanced approach between the economic, social and environmental needs of the community and university operations. Understanding that sustainability can be viewed in a very broad context, this policy is initially directed towards the environmental and energy aspects as they relate to the UTSA community. Further evolutions of this policy may include the social and historical aspects that are often associated with broader sustainability efforts.

Every year or so, Hetty's foster siblings disappear, one by one. First Martha, then Saul, then finally Gideon and Hetty. She is sent off to the foundling hospital, where she is scolded harshly by fierce matrons and mocked for her bright red hair. Hetty is a friend to a lovely kitchen maid, called Ida, who winks and smiles at her every time she passes. Could Ida be the answer to her prayers?
As Sapphire Battersea, Hetty's true name, Hetty sets off to a posh villa in York, where she works for a story writer, who is fierce and ungrateful. She works with Mrs Briskett, a cook and Sarah, a parlour maid. She wakes up at 6am every morning and lights the fire to heat the stove. She gets terribly bored of her servant's life. Until one day she gets dismissed in disgrace after throwing a tantrum at the master of the house.
She leaves to go to a resort, far down in Cornwall, where she meets a lovely family, willing to adopt her. She spends a joyful two weeks with Charlotte and Maisie on the beach, but soon the family have to leave. When she discovers Ida working in a house of a elderly woman nearby, she stays with her, but realises Ida is terribly ill and has to be brought to hospital...
When Hetty sets off to find her father, Bobby Waters and succeeds, she does not feel she belongs in the dull harbour by the sea, where he lives with a hot headed wife, a contrary daughter and a careless son. So she goes back to her foster home, where she is reunited with her real family...
Phew, I'm out of breath, and so will you be when you finish this series of amazing books! I would recommend these books to anyone who likes an interesting, dramatic story full of surprises. Wilson writes with such imagination and in such detail. These books are three in a million. These books made me cry, they made me laugh, they made me gasp. Don't bother with a bookmark, you won't be able to put these books down.
Note for mums and dads: please buy all three books at the same time, or your child will be pestering you for hours on end for next one!

Black Friend Connect —
"Every white person needs a black friend,"
tells us. And if you don't have a black friend already, they've got you covered. For a reasonable fee, they'll provide a black friend who's willing to "give you a hug, fist bump, high-five or whichever you prefer," and will also attend "your favorite white concert" with you. The joke here seems obvious enough that there's no need to prove the site is a hoax. But if you really want to prove it to yourself, try placing an…

designed to teach people how to avoid online scams. The sites advertise products such as work-at-home deals, weight-loss products, and free trips. If anyone tries to order something from these sites, they're directed to a page identifying it as a scam and telling them how they could have spotted the scam. My favorite one is the

Sea Captain Date—real or fake? —
As far as niche dating sites go, you can't get much more niche than

Now I'm willing to believe that there are niche dating sites out there, but SeaCaptainDate.com seems a little too weird to be real. Is it really just an elaborate joke? I'm not the first to ponder this question. The site first attracted attention back in Jan 2011, when articles…

GOP.am started blocking such links apparently at some point Tuesday morning, and the GOP.am homepage is now offline.

NETGEAR GS110T Features
The GS110T is part of the NETGEAR® family of ProSafe® Gigabit Smart Switches. This part of the product line features intelligent network switches in a compact form factor, and is designed for SMB customers needing high performance, enhanced configuration features, and straight forward device management. This particular model has eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, each capable of powering 2000 Mbps of data throughput in full-duplex mode. In addition, two dedicated Gigabit SFP ports are available for fiber uplinks, offering greater transmission distance and better security. The GS110T comes with an intuitive, Web-browser interface which offers easier Smart Switch management. The comprehensive interface allows you to monitor switch performance, configure ports, and set up port trunks, VLANs, and traffic prioritization without having to look up commands in the manual. Here's a quick look at some of the basic features and benefits for the GS110T:
|Dedicated Fiber Uplink
|Directly connects to FTTx networks. Used in fiber networks for better security and reliability
|Traffic Management
|Prioritize traffic to ensure quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing traffic loads
|Advanced Security with 802.1x and ACL
|User-based authentication and added filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC or IP addresses
|Auto Voice and Auto Video
|Assist customers to easily set up VoIP or IP surveillance networks with a couple of simple steps
|Centralized Management via the New Smart Control Center
|Discover all the Smart Switches in the network, configure them from a central location; schedule mass configuration and firmware uploads
I've become used to a long list of features and specifications for the Network Attached Storage products I've reviewed recently, especially the ones that offer a variety of consumer-based capabilities in addition to their business-basic functions. I didn't expect that long of a list with a network switch, even one with built-in management, but I was wrong. Let's take a minute to explore what this device offers:

OSU-Cascades looks to other campuses for advice
Neighborhood task force discusses expansion plans
BEND, Ore. - A lesson Thursday as OSU-Cascades Neighborhood Task Force looks to others for help for its 4-year expansion.
It's been months of expressed excitement -- and concern from surrounding neighbors.
On Thursday, the Livability Task Force took a closer look at how other communities responded to a 4-year campus being built in their town.
Some Westside residents have been skeptical about the potential impact on quality of life in their neighborhood, including traffic, housing and parking.
Now that they're learning what others have done, the question becomes, how can Bend adopt it and promote livability on the west side?
"Not every situation is the same," said Ken Schofield of the Century West Neighborhood Association. "We were talking to people from another university and we found out that, no, it's not the same. However, it is knowledge gained."
Michael McLandress with the Old Bend Neighborhood Association added, "There's no one community that can solve all our problems, so the great thing is with our task force, we are able to go out and ask these questions specifically."
University officials say feedback still ranges from pure excitement to questioning why the site between Chandler Avenue and Mt. Washington Drive was selected in the first place.
But it's the feedback from other colleges they are eager to hear.
"It's important for us to look at the mistakes that other campuses have made," said Kelly Sparks, OSU-Cascades' vice president of finance. "If someone has done it already, we can learn from history. We don't need to replicate it. We can create our own issues, so to speak -- we'll create something new."
OSU-Cascades is doing its "due diligence" on the 10-acre parcel it bought in the fall. It could take until March to finish the review of the 46-acre parcel.
To learn more about the plans, visit http://www.osucascades.edu.

Doctors were warned yesterday to abandon a drug used to treat gonorrhoea because it is no longer effective.
The announcement by the Health Protection Agency highlights the advance of organisms resistant to antibiotics which pose one of the gravest threats to global health.
The agency warned that the disease – with 17,000 cases in 2009 – should in future be treated with ceftriaxone injections, and azithromycin pills, in place of cefixime.

Last I checked, this website is funded by a company that sells products, content, and solicits memberships. They have a public image and forum climate that they rightfully want to maintain, and ultimately, they are free to determine the content on their own website.
It makes sense to me.Jan 14, 2011 at 12:58 pm #1683916

I was merely pointing out BPL's own rules regarding Chaff. Apparently they have changed those rules and neglected to update their listed Chaff policies. I firmly believe they have every right to change their rules as they see fit.Jan 14, 2011 at 1:34 pm #1683930

I think Craig said it all very well.
The thread that you posted was doomed to be a nightmare from the start, and I am sure the two parties you identified were probably not thrilled about it either.
I have seen some online message boards morph into a disgusting gutter of inhumanity. Then the real purpose of the forum is diluted, erased, or the message board even disappears from the Internet, due to an exodus of the membership.
Do not confuse a commercial endeavor with free-speech. I do not expect BPL to create a lengthy dissertation of what is, and what is not permitted. Basically we can post anything you want in Chaff; for the most part. If a thread crosses BPL's subjective perspective of what is acceptable, then they can do as they please. In the long run, it is best for all. Often when BPL moderates a thread, most members are please with the decision. I do not feel they owe anyone a response to justify or explain the reasons for deleting or locking a thread.
I do think it is appropriate for BPL to remove content they feel is counter-productive to their goals and/or mission. And as members we are free to stop using the forums too. Perfect set-up.Jan 14, 2011 at 1:51 pm #1683941

"I do think it is appropriate for BPL to remove content they feel is counter-productive to their goals and/or mission. And as members we are free to stop using the forums too."
Doesn't seem like there has been any policy change. The description of the Chaff section as quoted isn't much of a description anyway, though I have always thought BPL should rewrite it to make it clearer that folks are still supposed to be relatively civil and whatnot. The "big dogs" stuff is just silly.
I think that it takes a LOT for BPL to censor something. And I think it's totally their right to edit threads that descend into Whiteblaze flame-o territory.Jan 14, 2011 at 3:25 pm #1683985

+1, though it's a shame they should have to (and I say that even though I'm cognizant of having been less than civil in some posts).Jan 14, 2011 at 4:12 pm #1684011

"Last I checked, this website is funded by a company that sells products, content, and solicits memberships."
Actually, it's funded by the collective membership and some amount of commercial income. However, by joining we agree to abide by BPL's rules and interpretation of same. While I hate to see threads deleted or posts censored, there have definitely been occasions where that has been warranted. There have also been threads where, IMO, censorship should have been exercised and wasn't, including at least one where I conducted myself in a less than exemplary manner. Arbitrary, subjective? Sure, but the folks that run this website are fallible humans like the rest of us and on the whole I think they do a pretty darn good job. One thing I do not question is their good intentions. Bottom line, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not this state of affairs is acceptable to them, or not, and participate, or not, accordingly. My 2 cents.Jan 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm #1684039

There was one big to-do a while back in which my and others' posts were removed without notice and my reaction was less than civil at first. I do think that notice should be given, even if it is just in private because sometimes what one person is saying may actually not be all that bad, but another person just happens to disagree with it. When people start frothing at the mouth and resorting to badmouthing one another, then I think the removal is more than warranted. I feel now that the removal of my posts at that time were warranted, in part, and that their absence certainly doesn't take away from the experience here at BPL.
As to who the forums belong, too, well, this is a community-driven thing, NOT a BPL staff driven thing. BPL wouldn't exist or even have the name it does if it weren't for all the people freely contributing their time and expertise within the forums. Sometimes I think the BPL staff forgets this. The whole UL movement exists primarily because of all the people who are passionate about being part of it and participating in these kinds of forums. Were the members of the forum to stop coming to the BPL forums just what do you think would happen to BPL? The forums are BPL biggest source of advertising.
Naturally the site belongs to BPL. They pay for the hosting and the bandwidth and maintain and design the site. So from that point of view of course they have the right to control the information in the site.
From my stance it isn't so much the need to placate BPL staff that is important, so much as maintaining a community that values mutual respect and thereby keeps strong this movement we are all involved with. When we start degenerating into tantrum-throwing children then it hurts the whole community and takes away from our credibility and our ability to learn from one another. Plus it's just plain fun to make friends here and enjoy spending time together!Jan 15, 2011 at 7:03 am #1684185

Well I for one hate seeing that rant crap on the forums. Nothing comes from it. Not positive, or even creatively critical. Without the BPL staff there would not be a site or the forums. Their solution of deletion is an effective option for them to keep things flowing smoothly. I mean who wanted to get in the middle between those too anyway? Plus their comments were ruining a perfectly happy thread. Thanks Addie!Jan 19, 2011 at 5:50 pm #1686026

I have been an enthusiast in Server Side technologies for a while. Starting from Allaire's Cold Fusion, now Macromedia's Cold Fusion, to the classic ASP (Active Server Pages) and now ASP.NET 1.1.
My first impression of ASP.NET was – "WOW! This is incredibly easy to do!". Developing with ASP.NET was great but there were many ASP.NET controls which were a great mystery to me.
I have been developing a number of web based applications for a while and I must say, there are still things which bug me in ASP.NET. Some questions like, how to effectively use Datagrid Control's advanced features to efficient use of cookies were simply left unexplained.
The university in which I am persuing my degree uses this book, Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional extensively for one of our E-Commerce subjects. My first impression was, "ok, everything looks rather similar to some of the techniques which I knew.." but I WAS WRONG!
This book truly demystified datagrid and showed many techniques which would come in pretty handy in developing web applications – not just e-commerce websites.
Step by step is the key in this book. Right from the point of designing pages all the way to coding and to the point of even integrating with the ever famous Paypal for receiving payments over the internet!
It is a little like "E-Commerce, DO-IT-YOURSELF in a BOX!"
There is nothing too technical in the book. Most if not all from coding techniques to design interface is explained in detail.
A must for anyone who is interested in E-Commerce with ASP.NET!

An endoscopic lumbar discectomy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure designed to remove portions of a herniated disc in your lumbar spine (lower back) that intrude upon nearby nerves. A specialist performs the procedure with the help of images from a thin, small camera called an endoscope.
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Basics
Like other forms of minimally-invasive back surgery, a lumbar microendoscopic discectomy is performed in order to reduce the bone and soft tissue damage associated with more traditional open disc surgery. At the beginning of the procedure, your surgeon will make a small cut or incision slightly to one side of the center of your back, then gradually separate your muscle tissues until he creates a small hole that directly exposes the bone in your spinal column. He will then insert an endoscope into this hole and perform the rest of the surgery while watching a monitor that displays live, enlarged images from this camera.
Next, your surgeon will use a specialized drill to make a small hole in the spinal bone and access the herniated disc and its neighboring nerves. He will then remove the damaged portion of the disc, as well as any disc material that's pressing against your nerves and causing your symptoms. After completing these tasks, he will remove the endoscope and close the hole in your back with a couple of stitches. The hole in your spinal bone will heal on its own over time.
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Uses
People who undergo a lumbar microendoscopic discectomy, or any other form of spinal disc removal, typically have herniated discs that produce pain, weakness or numbness that doesn't respond to nonsurgical treatment; have progressively worsening numbness or weakness in their legs; have serious mobility issues resulting from their condition; or have pressure on a certain nerve cluster, called the cauda equina, that triggers leg weakness and loss of normal bowel or bladder control. Instead of a disc herniation, some people who undergo the procedure have a disc disorder called degenerative disc disease.
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Benefits
Because of the minimal damage to bone and muscle tissue, people who undergo a lumbar microendoscopic discectomy experience less surgical trauma than those who undergo more extensive procedures. In turn, trauma reduction translates into reduced recovery times and a quicker return to normal activities. Typically, you will be encouraged to stand and start moving around on or shortly after the day of your procedure. Lumbar microendoscopic discectomy also results in a lower rate of serious complications during or after surgery.
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Risks
Despite the reduced risk associated with lumbar microendoscopic discectomy, the procedure can still lead to a number of complications, including damage to your spinal nerves during surgery, breathing problems, infections, uncontrolled bleeding, adverse response to anesthesia, a dangerous blood clot disorder called deep vein thrombosis, and persistent pain caused by permanent damage in the nerve affected by your herniated disc.

An SDA is requested for Medium developments, comprising of one to nine residential dwellings or 100m2 to 1.000m2 of new non-residential Gross Floor Area (GFA).
For applications larger than the above benchmarks, please refer to section Sustainable Management Plan (SMP).
An SDA is a simple sustainability assessment of a proposed building at the planning stage. The assessment will support your Planning Application by showing how you address the 10 Key Sustainable Building Categories. While Yarra's Planning Scheme outlines minimum ESD requirements, we encourage you to strive for best practice, creativity and innovation.
By using free web-based tools, such as BESS, you can easily demonstrate that your project meets minimum environmental compliance standards. Generally, an SDA can be prepared by applicants themselves, it should not be necessary to engage a sustainability consultant.
If your application is for a Medium development, Council requests that your application addresses 10 Key Sustainable Building Categories. More information about those categories is available here.The categories are:
By using free web-based tools, such as BESS, you can demonstrate how your project meets a best practice standard in ESD. BESS is easy and free to use and ensures that your application addresses the 10 Key Sustainable Building Categories.

Left my hair greasy.
I have very dry hair so it's hard to leave it greasy, but this Age Defying Thinning Hair Treatment Conditioner by Andalou Naturals just seemed to coat it too much. It doesn't have the most pleasant smell either. Though, I do like that it's pretty pure and natural.

Fantasy baseball Waiver Wire: Sonny Gray emerging as a true weapon
The A's find themselves in the thick of two separate playoff races. Through Sunday, they trailed the Rangers by half a game in the AL West but held a three-game lead over the Orioles for the second Wild-Card spot. Unlike many contenders, notably division-rival Texas, Oakland made no big moves at the trade deadline. However, one August addition to the rotation could make a huge difference down the stretch. He's also ready to help fantasy owners chasing a championship.
This week's fantasy baseball prep: Weekly planner | Waiver wire
Sonny Gray (available in 77 percent of Yahoo leagues, 60 percent of CBSSports.com leagues and 78 percent of ESPN leagues) made two relief appearances in July before manager Bob Melvin inserted him into the rotation. The 5'11" righthander made his first start on August 10, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks in six innings against the Blue Jays. He followed that up with eight shutout innings against the Astros, fanning nine batters while allowing just four hits. In 18 innings in the majors this season, he has surrendered just the two runs to Toronto and has 20 strikeouts against five walks.
This is nothing new for the 23-year-old Gray. He went 10-7 with a 3.42 ERA, 2.74 FIP and 118 strikeouts in 118.1 innings with Triple-A Sacramento this year. He features the standard four offerings (fastball, slider, curveball, changeup) and his fastball sits in the mid-90s. He can be a real weapon for the rest of the season.
• 1B Brandon Belt, San Francisco Giants (44, 20, 22): Belt has been on a tear in August, hitting .415/.500/.849 with five homers in 62 plate appearances. Manager Bruce Bochy has him slotted into the three-hole, which seems to be agreeing with Belt. The fantasy community has been waiting for him to develop into a star ever since he became a major league regular, and while it would be premature to call this the breakout everyone has expected, he certainly can provide a big lift while he's swinging a hot bat.
• 2B/3B Jedd Gyorko, San Diego Padres (68, 27, 47): It has been an up-and-down year for Gyorko, but he's been nearly as hot as Belt, racking up a .967 OPS in 50 plate appearances. He has five homers and four doubles in the month. You know the story with Gyorko: Dual eligibility at shallow positions, plenty useful when he's going well, etc. If you need help at second or third, look no further.
• OF Will Venable, San Diego Padres (70, 51, 23): Not to be outdone by his teammate, Venable has had a monster August, hitting .375/.407/.732 in 59 plate appearances. He has been an extra-base machine, hitting five homers (including a walkoff on Sunday night), four doubles and two triples. Not only that, he has also stolen five bases in the month, upping his season total to 14. Venable has had a few streaks this season, so we'd be foolish to expect this to last for the final six weeks of the year. That said, he can be a real asset for now, especially if he stays at the top of the order, giving him more of an opportunity to use his legs.
• RP Chia-Jen Lo (92, 93, 85) and RP Josh Fields (98, 94, 97), Houston Astros: Manager Bo Porter said Lo and Fields would split closer duties for the remainder of the season. Whoever gets the ball in the ninth will depend on workload and matchups, but either is worth grabbing if you're hard up for saves. If both are available, I'd have a slight preference for Lo. Fields has struck out 26 batters in 25 innings, but he has also allowed seven homers and 19 earned runs. Lo has only tossed 7.1 innings in the majors this year, but he has yet to give up a run, striking out five of the 29 batters he has faced.
The droppables
• SP Jeff Locke, Pittsburgh Pirates: Anyone with a basic understanding of advanced metrics could see the Great Lockean Regression coming from miles away. After getting lit up for eight runs in 2.2 innings against the Diamondbacks in his last start, Locke sports a 4.08 ERA in the second half. Hitters have posted a .315/.420/.421 slash against him since the break, with a .371 wOBA. It was fun while it lasted, but Locke shouldn't be counted on in mixed leagues.
• 3B David Freese, St. Louis Cardinals: The Cardinals promoted second base prospect Kolten Wong last week, and he'll likely start in place of Freese (with Matt Carpenter moving to third), at least against righties. It could still be a straight platoon, with Freese getting the nod against lefties, but even if that's how manager Mike Matheny plays it, Freese doesn't have much value in mixed leagues. He's hitting just .265/.343/.380 with six homers in 399 plate appearances this year, and has been one of the bigger busts of the season.

Spring Training Coverage
See Why Joely Rodriguez Was Added to the 40-Man Roster (Video)
Spring Training Coverage
Joely Rodriguez has some nice stuff for a left-hander. He throws his fastball in the 91-94 MPH range, and hit 96 MPH last year. His changeup has shown some improvements, with late, sharp tailing action. His slider has some good break, and is a weapon to shut down left-handers. Rodriguez has good movement on all of his pitches, as seen in the video. The Pirates added him to the 40-man roster this off-season to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, mostly due to his overall package as a left-hander with a good arsenal. He should start the 2014 season in Altoona, with a shot at Indianapolis by the end of the year, and possibly a September callup.
Rodriguez was our number 15 prospect, and you can read our scouting report on him here....

Power Systems Mats
From Yoga to Gymnastics, Power Systems Has the Exercise Mats You Need
In second century BC, Greek philosopher, mathematician, and scientist Archimedes said, "Give me a firm place to stand, and I shall move the world." His quote still has some relevance today when we think about the various workout regimens we need to support in our gymnasiums, schools, and training facilities.
Each type of exercise seems to have a corresponding type of mat that best supports it. Yoga and Pilates require mats of a certain length and with a certain level of support to brace the various poses in comfort, and without slipping. Gymnastics, aerobics or step training classes require different types of mats that interlock to cover large floor areas without leaving seams, and which absorb impact to better protect the people working out on these surfaces.
Fortunately, whatever your exercise, Power Systems has the mats you need to support it – in the sizes you need, in the thicknesses you need, and in the colors you want to match your décor or to make different exercise areas stand out visually.
Quality Exercise Mats Also Need to Be Durable and Easy to Store and Move
In most exercise or training facilities, space is limited, and thus you can't always place the exercise mats in a room and then leave them there. The mats often need to be cleaned and hung up out of the way after each class to make way for the next class. So at Power Systems, we make sure that all of the workout mats we sell are easy to clean, easy to move, and easy to store. For example, our hanging club mats come with matching wall racks so they can be conveniently stored between classes. For other types of mats, we supply professional-quality wall mounted racks, standing mat racks, and multi-purpose storage racks to keep mats clean, neat, and out of the way when they are not being used.
How Can Power Systems Help You Find the Exercise Mats You Need?
Whatever the type of exercise you are trying to create an environment for, we carry the perfect type of mats and mat storage equipment you need. Explore the full range of exercise mats we offer at Power Systems and you'll be able to provide your clients with the "firm place to stand" that they need.

Here's what I found and the 4 locations I found them with photo evidence
location 1 the 1st find kern river calif
My hobby is a gold prospector and rock hound who lives in California. While digging for the first time in the
canyon of Kern River, Bakersfield, Ca. he came across what he considers to be an alien burial site,
or possibly the location of a crashed UFO and the resting place of its occupants.
On New Years Eve in 1999, trying to avoid the doomsday talk of the new millennium,
Mr. Kaesberg and Jim Ferguson, another rock hunter, went to Kern River.
When digging there in one foot of soil, Mr. Kaesberg looked down at his rock sifter and
noticed little faces looking up at him, so he looked further and dug more to reveal a total of
22 small rocks all in the shape of alien heads with faces on them. Since then he has revisited the site,
managing to pull out 4 more of these faces.
A MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan of the rocks, a CAT
(Computed Axial Tomography) Scan, the results of which will show whether these aliens have
ever been alive.I actually had it done have only picture proof I can not find actual documentation
from the technician dam ey.
The following is a report by a scientist who has expressed his wish not to be associated with
Mr. Kaesberg."
"I have examined numerous water-worn cobbles, fragments and pebbles presented in a black
satchel bag from Eric under a binocular microscope."
"Samples are composed of fine grain materials, of both igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary origin,
and contain primarily of quartz and micas."
"All samples appear to be normal outwash from a Sierra type terrain."
"I could neither confirm or refute the contained presence of alien materials or artifacts."
There you go the University of Nevada Reno Center for Geological Studies concluded they
could not refute to admit or deny facts.
Cotton wood creek 14 miles south of location 1
While prospecting in the ancient river bed I found what appeared to be more
of these alien faces on stone.
Caliente Creek 35 miles south east of location 1
The third place I found them and the green child size head was Caliente creek 35 miles south
East of site 1.
Placerita cyn 100 miles s> of site 1 where I found the biggest
fossil and where the visitors showing up.

Citation: Nyochembeng, L.M., Sakhanokho, H.F. 2009. Evaluation of the Biopesticidal Potential of Hedychium Species for Pests and Disease Control in Organic Vegetable Production Systems. Association of Research Directors Directors (ARD) Conference, March 28-April 1, Atlanta, GA, p. 200. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The genus Hedychium belongs to the ginger family and consists of about 80 species, which are used for various purposes. Hedychium has become increasingly popular as an ornamental because of the showy and aromatic inflorescences of many of its species, which are also cultivated for their perfume essences. The aerial stems constitute a useful raw material for manufacturing paper. Some species are grown for their edible flowers. Finally, Hedychium species are well known for their medicinal properties. The objective of this study was to assess the insecticidal and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils, crude leaf and rhizome extracts, callus and suspension cultures of several Hedychium species and cultivars. Insecticidal and antimicrobial activities varied significantly depending on the Hedychium species or the source of the plant extract (crude leaf or rhizome extract, essential oils, callus, suspension cultures). The essential oils from selected Hedychium species/cultivars were very effective against azalea lace bug and Aspergillus flavus, an aflatoxin (carcinogen) producing fungus. Crude leaf extracts had significantly higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than crude rhizome extracts. Further evaluation of the biocontrol activity of plant extracts from this species on common foliar diseases of tomato in small farm organic production system is discussed.

KPZ formula for log-infinitely divisible multifractal random measures
Université Paris-Dauphine, Ceremade, CNRS, UMR 7534, 75016 Paris, France.
email@example.com; email@example.com
We consider the continuous model of log-infinitely divisible multifractal random measures (MRM) introduced in [E. Bacry et al. Comm. Math. Phys. 236 (2003) 449–475]. If M is a non degenerate multifractal measure with associated metric ρ(x,y) = M([x,y]) and structure function ζ, we show that we have the following relation between the (Euclidian) Hausdorff dimension dimH of a measurable set K and the Hausdorff dimension dimHρ with respect to ρ of the same set: ζ(dimHρ(K)) = dimH(K). Our results can be extended to all dimensions: inspired by quantum gravity in dimension 2, we focus on the log normal case in dimension 2.

The World According to Natalie: Educate Yourself in this Materialistic, Anti-Intellectual Society
We are living in a materialistic, anti-intellectual and pseudo-spiritual society and it's only getting worse. Between Oprah's promotions of, "The Secret" to Gwyneth Paltrow's hyper-materialistic website, "GOOP" we are in danger of trying to live out our life through trite sound bites and consumerism. Of course the promoters of all things material would simply tell you not to tune in or log onto these places of commerce, but why are they exempt?
They put themselves out there with the risk of, well, putting themselves out there. The masses are lining up to the Kabbalah and the Quantum Physics smorgasbord picking and choosing the ways it will help them get rich and have more stuff, go to cool, poor countries and eat the best food, buy the best stuff, go to the best retreats and are threatening to eat the world alive! This method of choosing our own moral philosophy isn't new to societies, in ancient Greece, the philosopher Epicurus wanted to live life through an elevated aesthetic. Today we associate his name with fine dining and other such personal luxuries. Luxuries are certainly not bad, I don't assign a moral score card to them, they make life more enjoyable. But I do think they shouldn't rank over an education, critical thinking and responsibility. We are living in dangerously materialistic society that grasps at the next fad. Our society celebrates celebrity and wealth and the accumulation of material possessions. This society is haunted by the words of Andy Warhol's sentiment of everyone getting their 15 minutes of fame. The huge glut of reality television shows has eerily played that prediction out.
I'm not against people living their personal best, and I think that is the essence of a higher education. But before you go out and take on the world, I think as a responsible member of society, you need to take core courses on history, politics and so on to in order to become a critical thinker. Education leads to an expansion of openings and you learn not only facts, but you also learn how to learn, and eventually you can learn that elusive of all skills, creativity. Michel Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers of this century. His reach included the spectrum from literary criticism to the history of criminology. His philosophy was far reaching, and intellectually astonishing. Foucault stated that there isn't any universal understanding that is beyond history and society.
Furthermore, Bill Gates famously dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft, but he happens to be one of education's most famous supporters. He envisions education to become more democratic in the future and specifically, he believes online degrees are going to be more available and even more desirable. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is awarding 20 million dollars to those who come up with creative technologies to improve online education. Without a doubt, online education is going to be a widely accepted way to get a higher education degree. Bill Gates is certain a campus-based degree will be five times less important than it is today. He's even stated that the degree would be free. He feels that all of the best lectures will be available online and it will be a better education than any one single university could provide. Of course, this will work provided that the student is a motivated learner. An online education clearly works best in the hands of a self-starter. But the advantages of being able to study at the place you need to be, and at the times that work for you has tremendous advantages. A scholastically curious individual will literally have the world at their fingertips.
Finally, the bringing together information from the best minds and the best lectures and the best texts from the best universities will instill a certain critical awareness and creativity that couldn't come to fruition without the connection to all the different academic sources. Isn't that how the Italian Renaissance began? A scientific, artistic and literary revolution was possible by bringing together all of the different scholars and having dialogues. There are no short cuts to becoming the best you. You become the best you by investing in yourself through an education. Getting an education isn't easy, but fortunately for you, it doesn't have to be place based. With this new education model, you can plan your education around your life.

A 35-year old woman complains of a three day history of cough productive of moderate amounts of greenish sputum. Her illness started six days ago with a sore throat that was followed by nasal congestion, a brief episode of hoarseness, and then the cough she currently has. The nasal congestion, sore throat, and hoarseness have all resolved but the cough seems to be getting worse. She feels a mild tightness substernally and has occasional wheezes, but she denies any shortness of breath, fever, or pleuritic chest pain. She has no history of asthma and has never smoked cigarettes. On physical exam you find only a few scattered rhonchi bilaterally. Otherwise the physical exam is entirely normal. You make a diagnosis of acute bronchitis and the patient says she has usually been prescribed an antibiotic for this type of problem in the past.
Although you have prescribed antibiotics for similar patients in the past, you have recently heard that antibiotics may not be indicated in all cases of bronchitis. You wish to find out whether an antibiotic would be appropriate for this patient.

An Apple manufacturing plant in Brooklyn? Conventional wisdom says fat chance. After all, recent reports allege the company relies pretty heavily on cheap, abused, non-American workers.
But apparently Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz isn't afraid to dream.
"Just like the Mayor had a competition for Roosevelt Island, I'm suggesting another competition to create a high-tech manufacturing zone," Mr. Markowitz told the Daily News. "We desperately need manufacturing jobs."
Apple, apparently, is at the top of his list of desired manufacturers. This, despite Brooklyn's difficulty in attracting even a basic Apple retail store. Read More

Newlywed PCS, Part 2: Boxes
For those of you planning a move to Okinawa soon, we hope Marie's descriptions of the process of their travel and first months of settling in can help you with a few of the "unknowns." To read more of their story see links at the bottom of the post.
It's hard to describe the feeling of relief at having received clearance to accompany Kenny to Okinawa. We could finally breathe easy, no longer fearing we'd be separated for the duration of his tour. Then came the big move.
Newlywed PCS HHG kitchen chaos
I remember it like this: a marathon, not a sprint. As a couple we didn't have a whole lot of stuff. We were pretty good about keeping clutter to a minimum. But the painstaking process of organizing our belongings into categories made me feel as if we had more "stuff" than a king. The groups were as follows: "Non-Temporary Storage," "Household Goods," and "Unaccompanied Baggage." These categories presented a new set of acronyms to add to my laundry list of military abbreviations: NTS, HHG, and UAB.
We started moving all of our NTS items into our living room. Because we were allowed only 2,000 lbs of HHG, most of our furniture would have to go into storage. Our kitchen became the designated spot for our HHG. We organized our UAB into our master bedroom. That would be the first shipment to arrive in Oki, so it included all of the clothes and toiletries we couldn't fit in the baggage we would have on us. We gave away all of our cleaning supplies and liquids that could not come with us. This process of moving everything we owned between these three rooms became a little chaotic, as you might imagine. But by the time the movers came, I was glad we did it that way. We were able to tell one set of movers to pack up everything in the kitchen, another set to pack up just the master bedroom, and the third to pack up just the living room.
Newlywed PCS movers at work
Sure, there were a few snags. The biggest was probably the Friday morning we were expecting the first set of movers. We were told they would be at our apartment anytime between eight and five. We waited about four hours before Kenny started making some calls, trying to get a more definite time. Then I saw Kenny's face drop as he listened on the phone. "What do you mean, 'they weren't scheduled to be here,' " he told the person on the other end. Turned out, there was a mix-up at the booking office. They told us to expect the movers that day, but somehow the movers never got the memo. Each office pointed the finger at the other, and I never felt like we got a straight explanation as to what happened. Worse things could happen, but it was frustrating.
Newlywed PCS Empty
Those movers ended up coming the next week, just in time for us to clean the apartment and turn in the keys. Phew!
Newlywed PCS UAB for Oki
Another big relief. We were officially moved out, and our car was packed with everything we'd need from San Diego to Okinawa. (We'd be leaving the car with family before our flight to Seattle.) Passports, birth certificates, all of our important documents were in tow. For the next month we'd be driving across the country, visiting family in several states and saying our goodbyes before our port of call date. The night before we started the drive, I slept light. The move was becoming more real, and the excitement was building. It's easy to be afraid of the unknown, but it's a lot more fun to imagine the possibilities.

Reading this brought tears of joy and great memories to my eyes! After 2 tours in Okinawa we went through the same ordeal but spent the happiest years of our lives there! You will make the best memories of your life there! I can guarantee! ;- )Dee Murphy

Ash-It might be too late to do it now, but those movers need to be reported to the TMO office at the base where you were being packed up. The things you describe are a BIG NO NO! We have always kept cold water on hand and offered it to our movers. Some have accepted, some have not. We have been told by TMO and the moving company reps. at the pre-pack up inspection where they come to your house to see how much stuff you have, that by no means are the movers to ask you for food, drinks, to use your bathroom etc. I did not necessarily agree with the bathroom part because I think it would be super difficult to drive a huge truck up to the nearest gas station or wherever to use the restroom. I always let the movers know that we have water for them and that they are free to use our restroom. Most never do. As far as the iPOD, that is an even BIGGER NO NO. We were told at our last base that even if you offer to give them an item (broken or not) they are not allowed to take it. We wanted to test that out and offered a TV that we really were not taking with us to one of the movers and she refused it. In my opinion, movers that will do things like what you have described are probably stuffing their pockets as it is. Please report their behavior. Just curious, Harry, in the above comment you said you were a mover, what were the rules for y'all?LaLa
April 18, 2012
I was pregnant and sick when the movers came and my husband was working. They kept asking me if I had any snacks? And If I had any drinks they could have!? One of them found an old ipod and asked if he could keep it! Moving is crazy!Ash
April 18, 2012
Wow, I am cracking up reading your post! Not because I don't feel for you. We PCS-ed here in January from MCRD San Diego and it sounds like the same people must have set up our moves because your problems are identical to the ones we had. Waiting on the moving day, realizing no one was coming, and scrambling to figure it all out. And somehow even though this all happened to my family in January they haven't figured it out yet and are still blaming everyone but themselves when it happens to you. Oh well, if I've learned anything during this move it's that everything will all work out, or it won't. But stressing won't help either way. Congrats on making it through your big move!Corey
April 17, 2012
Thanks for packing your stuff ahead of time! I was a PCS mover on Okinawa during the Summer when I was in college. We've seen it all from U.S. size furniture moving into Okinawa temp. apartments. One time we had to move an armoire up 7 flights of steps because it didn't fit the elevator! Needless to say the home owner was not happy with the dings! We also moved people out who didn't bother to do any packing whatsoever. You know the show "American Hoarders"? Just like that 🙂Harry

The manufacturer's website doesn't offer any information about how to wire it. The best I could find is this description from

THE RELAY - How it Works
The Battery Disconnect Relay is a mechanically latching switch that operates by the momentary application of battery voltage to the coil terminals in one direction for latching (closed) or the other direction for unlatching (open).
To close the relay, +12 volts is applied to the ""I"" terminal and ground the ""S"" terminal of the relay. When this is done, the plunger is pulled into the coil and the contacts are connected. While this happens, the rod magnet suspended above the plunger is attracted (opposite poles attract) to the top of the plunger by the magnetic field.
When the voltage is removed from the coil, the plunger gets pushed upward by the return spring, but cannot move because the rod magnet is in the way.
To open the relay, +12 volts is applied to the ""S"" terminal and ground on the ""I"" terminal. When this is done, the plunger is again pulled into the coil. However, since the magnetic polarity of the coil is reversed, the rod is repelled (like poles oppose), and swings out of the way.
When the voltage is removed from the coil, the plunger gets pushed upwards by the return spring, breaking the connection between the two large terminals.
So the solenoid wires up basically the same as a GM style power window.
A SPST switch will not work with the Intellitec solenoid. To operate the solenoid with a single switch, you will need either a DPDT center off momentary switch, or a good old fashioned GM power window switch.
Hope this helps.....
