The Joint Review Panel's conditional approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline has stirred a strong reaction from across the spectrum. Proponents have called it a "win", while opponents have vowed to pursue the battle.
Here are some top reactions:
Enbridge decision any minute. Either way not game over… approval would only be throwing fuel on a fire. This pipeline will never be built. Gateway decision & AB-BC pipeline agreement means we're closer to moving oil to coast responsibly #BuildingMarkets http://t.co/9ruJBRAi9k — Alison Redford (@Premier_Redford) December 19, 2013 — Ben West (@BenWest) December 19, 2013
Now let's get Keystone approved — Kathryn Marshall (@KVMarshall) December 19, 2013
Hey Tories, if u think #tarsands oil is "conflict free" just try to build that pipeline through BC. #NorthernGateway approved w conditions — Naomi Klein (@NaomiAKlein) December 19, 2013
Foreign-funded lobbyist doesn't like our legal system, threatens Canada with eco-terrorism: https://t.co/rrwidafinA #cdnpoli — Ezra Levant (@ezralevant) December 19, 2013
BC Premier Christy Clark tells CTV that feds havent met any of her conditions yet for approval of #NGP #cdnpoli — Mike De Souza (@mikedesouza) December 19, 2013
West Canada needs pipelines in all directions and as soon as possible: one step closer with #JRP nod for @NorthernGateway — Jackie Forrest (@JackieForrest) December 19, 2013
That statement makes no sense. RT @JamesWoodHerald: NEB did not consider whether #ngp had social licence to operate. — Andrew Leach (@andrew_leach) December 19, 2013

5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
So for us 5.7 guys out there I am going to do a thread on my progress so far, future plans and relay the results in this thread.
Stuff needed:
one 11mm wrench, one 12mm socket with small and large ratchet, multiple sized flathead screw drivers, wire strippers, good scissors, electrical tape, butt connectors, heat-shrink, new IAT sensor, BWoody IAT extension, intake, filter and optional drycharger
taking the stock intake out is a piece of cake, I went to stock for a week while I sold my AIRAID and it took 5 mins to return it to stock. very easy removal process, and there are write-ups on it.
BWoody instructions are pretty straight forward. See below on one change, I did find it easier to install filter after intake was in place.
I had to cut the stock IAT connection off...this was an apparent issue from the get-go, I just did not notice it on the forums. The IAT extension they send is for the 6.1 (or something OTHER than the 5.7). BWoody just needs to send the new IAT sensor if they are going to send the harness they sent, or make an extension that works with the 5.7 harnesses. i now have a new IAT sensor that is harwired to the existing stock wires. I really did not want to do this, but the install and was SUPER simple and looks better IMO.
brown wire seems to be ground...pic of IAT connector cut off
cut and stripped extension supplied from BWoody...black (blue wire, not visible but red had a green strip on blue wire) connects to brown stock wire. Butt connectors used and heat-shrinked over, then electrical tape :) Techflexed the wiring...Matt recommended that stuff and I have used it now on my stereo power cable, Low/Fog HID's and this extension.
I installed the BWoody intake first, then got under the vehicle and installed/tightened the filter through the floor. Their instructions recommend differently, but I had no scratches intake during install, and minimal wear on the filter, I really didn't need to move the fender at all and there is enough room to tighten the filter with a small flathead
another install pic....I was so amazed at how far the BWoody intake sends the filter in the lower fender. It is amazing how the frame, fog lights and fender trim create a great heat/debris shield for it...and with the drycharger I am good to go. I would def not recommend this intake for anyone that hits rivers/streams of really any off roading
I also did the CCV mod to get rid of the tube running across the engine-bay...super simple, was $15 in parts (chrysler PCV valve 90 degree fitting, and sceptre filter, with 2" of interior 3/8" pipping, secured with zip ties) and looks better IMO...in the pics above I had tape over the intake outlet, but will have more recent pics with the actual rubber cap on :)
I have driven the car for about 50 miles now and it is really starting to like the intake. I love the sound, and notice some serious increases in pull though the shifts at WOT...with the DS predator on its way, I will keep track of progress and let everyone know what types of differences I notice. So far I am satisfied, and according to chefalan23 it will be night and day when I get the tune going...and Jim at MHP will be doing them, and the predator should be here next week!!!!!
I am on the fence about the 180 tstat...can people really say that is a beneficial performance mod? Especially when combined with a CMR???
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
Just upgraded to a Trinity T-1000 :) SOOOOOOO STOKED!
More to follow.......
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
Hows the gains from the BWOODY?
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
I can't wait! I'm going to order the Bwoody soon and then I really need the CMR Tune!
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
Well had the BWoody on for about 250 miles now....WOW is all I have to say.
Sound = better than the AIRAID; louder at WOT, larger "whoosh" at shut-off, better b/t 3500-5500 RPM's...the thing sounds like a vaccum when you are on it. Not any louder on the freeway cruising, but my exhaust note has def changed. I set off car alarms in my parking garage which I RARELY did before, so it did something...I think I have a little more drone @ 80mph than I had with the AIRAID, but IDK if the two are truly related
Performance = Butt dyno is a def increase...engine does not seem to work as hard, but at WOT it def allows it to open up very nicely. Tow/haul, esp off, 1st gear the mofo LAUNCHES :)
Efficency = I have been driving it a lot harder lately...but on the freeway during a 100 mile trip I got about 19mpg's averaging over 80 mph...so I think it is about the same as the AIRAID...but like I said it is a lot harder to stay out of the throttle :) I will report more once I get the tune, disable MDS etc...
Asthetics = All of my friends laughed at me when they saw my yellow intake, BUT all of them have changed their tune once they saw it installed and heard it or rode with me.
I upgraded to a Trinity T-1000 so I will do some data logging before and after the canned tunes, as well as after the CMR w/ and w/out MDS :) I am so excited, esp since my bday is around the corner early present to myself HAHA
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
a little bumpski for those 5.7 guys thinking about a BWoody...had it over a year now, and only thing I have done is switch to a Amsoil dry inverted-cone filter with pre-filter cover.
Getting about 20mpgs now, reset my pcm and re-installed my toona :) I need to do some data logging soon since I finally got a catch can on. I cannot believe how much crap that thing had in it after 1000 miles
Re: 5.7 4" BWoody Intake and CMR Tune
How long did you data log for? Did you just do a few runs?

It may at first seem a little odd that with DDR2 on the verge of a consolidated mainstream push, some manufacturers are still making a significant play for regular "old†DDR users, but perhaps on closer inspection it's not as odd as it seems. DDR2 is the future, of that there's little doubt, but for the time being at least the DDR market remains a large and potentially lucrative one. Contrary to allegations that anyone releasing enthusiast memory today is simply mopping up the dregs of a dying technology, I personally believe DDR's course has not yet run and that it will be with us for quite some time yet, even if only as a budget solution for the more cost-conscious user.
You may remember the TrustedReviews recently put together a fairly substantial DDR memory roundup, which unearthed at least a few surprising results. Interestingly, and it's more by luck than by planning, the three companies taking part in today's mini-roundup complement that initial group test rather nicely in that one of the manufacturers did incredibly well, one did incredibly badly, and one consistently finished mid-table but did so with some amazingly keen prices. With all three manufacturers submitting an enthusiast level product for test, I'm fascinated to see if the form book runs true or if there are yet more surprises in store.
Our combatants this time around are Crucial, GeIL and Buffalo, three companies known and respected for their solid, mainstream products but with only one having made any worthwhile inroads into the enthusiast sector up until now, that being GeIL.
With the enthusiast end of the memory market fairly crowded at the moment, let's see if any of these new products have what it takes to get noticed.

text: WALLDORF, Germany, Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced plans to acquire SmartOps, a leading provider of inventory and service-level optimization software solutions. The acquisition paves the way for SAP to develop "real-time supply chain" software solutions, leveraging the SAP HANA® platform, which empowers customers to run their businesses in real time — to analyze, predict, react and adjust instantly. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO) SmartOps provides key operating parameters and targets for supply chain management (SCM) planning. The company's solutions coordinate capacity, inventory, demand, lead time and product availability variables that enable customers to optimize inventory and service levels, freeing up working capital for innovation and growth. SmartOps and SAP have a longstanding relationship, jointly delivering best-in-class supply chain solutions to many large enterprise customers. Realizing the Real-Time Supply ChainCompanies around the world are facing the issues of volatile markets and growing logistics complexity. Winning in this environment requires an excellent understanding of the demand for your products and a most efficient supply network. This requires continuous work on the Sales and Operation plans, which consider revenue and profitability right away. Core and center of the Sales and Operations plan is to ensure highest customer satisfaction and lowest inventory levels. To reduce the demand uncertainty, better predictability and increased short term forecast accuracy is needed. Only this will keep inventory as low as possible during day to day operations. SmartOps has developed large-scale, "stochastic" algorithms that take the uncertainty and risk out of SCM processes. These algorithms use predictive analytics to help manage global distribution networks and vast, multi-stage supply chains. Such solutions would be significantly enhanced by SAP HANA, allowing for processing of high volumes of data in real time. It also would complement and expand existing SCM sales and operations offerings from SAP, such as the SAP® Sales and Operations Planning analytic application powered by SAP HANA, the SAP® Demand Signal Management application powered by SAP HANA and the SAP® Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO) component, paving the way for "real-time supply chain" solution. The two companies intend to provide current customers the same, or increased, levels of support without disruption to their existing systems.

NYC Chancellor: Matchmaking Makes Better Schools
New York City Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña selected the first batch of schools she's hoping will lead by example, pairing them with other schools in need of improvement, in a program that matches educators from across the system.
The Learning Partners Program unveiled Monday at I.S. 88 in Brooklyn marked another way the chancellor placed a premium on collaboration, in contrast to more competitive models used by former-Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The host schools were not chosen for their test scores: only three of them got A's on their last school report cards and two received C's. But they are all in the top tier "in terms of the commitment," she noted.
The partner schools chosen had grades ranging from B's to D's. The Department of Education said many are in transition with new principals, serve students with diverse needs, or have a targeted area for improvement.
"I have the analogy that the best way to clean your house is to have your mother-in-law come over for dinner," said Fariña. "And it's the same thing as a principal. If you have an audience for your work you're going to refine it you're going to make sure it's the best you can be."
The partnerships mark a change of tone, according to Ernest Logan, president of the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators, the city principals' union. "There were so many wonderful things happening in schools that we've never shared with each other, we always kept it close," he said.
The schools were selected from all grade levels in all five boroughs. Marble Hill High School for International Studies in the Bronx was named a host for two other high schools in its shared campus.
The Department of Education will evaluate the program in June with plans to expand to 72 schools next fall, 24 hosts and 48 partners, including charter schools.

CARSON, Calif. – Oswaldo Minda's commanding presence in the center of the park helped him become one of the Ecuadorian league's most feared midfielders. Now, the 28-year-old is hoping to enjoy the same success with Chivas USA.
Minda joined Chivas this offseason from defending Ecuadorian champions Deportivo Quito, bypassing offers to join a wide range of clubs from Greece, Mexico and Italy in order to suit up for the Rojiblancos. The Ecuador international was the first of three key South American signings for the club this offseason, joining Colombian defender John Alexander Valencia and young Ecuadorian forward Miller Bolaños.
Minda shares a long history with Bolaños, having played alongside Bolaños' brother, Alex, with the Ecuadorian national team and he has become fast friends with Valencia. With his fellow South Americans by his side, the tenacious midfielder has adapted quickly to his new team.
"I'm really happy to be with this team," Minda told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday morning. "It really hasn't been that hard to adapt. I'm getting to know every member of the team and every day we get better together."
Minda arrives at Chivas USA after accruing an impressive résumé in Ecuador. Having spent the last four years with Deportivo Quito, Minda helped las Chullas to three Ecuadorian league titles while solidifying himself as a regular on the Ecuadorian national team. Minda has sparkled with La Tri, forcing head coach Reinaldo Rueda to move captain Walter Ayoví – a natural midfielder – to outside back in order to accommodate Minda.
After an exhaustive search for added midfield depth, Minda's hard-nosed play with club and country caught the eye of Chivas USA head coach Robin Fraser. After meeting with Minda in Ecuador, and after two weeks of training with the Rojiblancos, Fraser is confident that he has found his man cornerstone in the midfield.
"He's what I expected, he's a very solid pro, he's got a lot of good ideas before he gets the ball," Fraser told reporters earlier in the week. "His first touch is clean and he covers ground, he covers ground, he covers ground. This is a guy who is a very experienced and professional player and I think that he brings a lot to us."
Since joining the club two weeks ago, Minda has started in a defensive midfield role alongside Pete Vagenas in Fraser's 4-2-3-1 alignment, which the Chivas boss has used extensively throughout the preseason.
Alongside Vagenas, Minda has proven an apt midfield general. Not only has he helped organize the line, but he has also provided timely passes that have allowed wide players Mike Lahoud and Ryan Smith to contribute to the attack.
Even though he has enjoyed initial success, Minda admits he is still adapting to the American style of play, and he sees it as a great challenge.
"What has impressed me about American soccer is that it's very fast, requires a lot of strength and technically it's very good," said Minda. "Obviously, playing here is very important for my own personal growth as a player."

A technique to measure eyelid pressure using piezoresistive sensors
Shaw, Alyra J., Davis, Brett A., Collins, Michael J., & Carney, Leo G. (2009) A technique to measure eyelid pressure using piezoresistive sensors. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 56(10), pp. 2512-2517.
|Published Version (PDF 529kB)
Novel procedures were developed to use a thin (0.17 mm) tactile piezoresistive pressure sensor mounted on a rigid contact lens to measure upper eyelid pressure. A hydrostatic calibration system was constructed and the influence of conditioning (prestressing), drift (continued increasing response with a static load) and temperature variations on the response of the sensor were examined. To optimally position the sensor-contact lens combination under the upper eyelid margin, an in vivo measurement apparatus was constructed. Calibration gave a linear relationship between raw sensor output and actual pressure units, for loads between 1 and 10 mmHg (R²=0.96). Conditioning the sensor prior to use regulated the measurement response and sensor output stabilised about 10 seconds after loading. While sensor output drifts slightly over several hours, it was not significant over the measurement time of 1 minute used for eyelid pressure. The error associated with calibrating at room temperature but measuring at ocular surface temperature led to a very small overestimation of pressure. Eyelid pressure readings were observed when the upper eyelid was placed on the sensor and removed during a recording. When the eyelid pressure was increased by pulling the lids tighter against the eye, the readings from the sensor significantly increased.

Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States. Many historians and scholars consider Jan. 1, 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation, as the end of slavery. But it was not until Union troops led by General Gordon Granger marched into Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 with General Order #3 that true emancipation was available to all African Americans.
Granger arrived in northern Texas on June 13 and read the proclamation on plantations as he made his way south. Since slaves were freed over the course of several days, the term "Juneteenth" was coined.
Around the nation, various dates in June are set aside to celebrate Juneteenth. The first such celebration consisted of barbequing a goat, the serving of other food and entertainment.
One local celebration will take place on June 9 from 1-6 p.m. at Family Life Center, located at the corner of Portland Avenue and East 48th Street. It is organized by Tacoma City Association of Colored Women's Clubs and Juneteenth Celebration Committee.
Dorotheus Schaffer, known as Miss Schaffer, is co-chair of the committee. She joined the group in 2006 and became co-chair in 2008.
The first hour of the event will have a greeting, a prayer and pouring of the libation.
Dr. F. Rhoades will give a speech based on the theme of this year's event: save the children, save our lives. Schaffer said that was selected because so many black youth get swept up in the criminal justice system or lost in the educational system. "We want to put forth more effort to save our children," she said. Schaffer considers Juneteenth a good way for black youth to learn the history of their people and observe the black community in a positive light. "What they get in the mainstream media can be negative," she observed.
Carol Mitchell, who is co-host of "CityLine" on TV Tacoma, will be one master of ceremonies. The other will be Amir Abdul-Mateen.
Next up is entertainment. Congo Productions will have a drum circle. Martha Nash, who sang at Carnegie Hall in February, will perform. The ladies of Shiloh Baptist Church will put on a fashion show. Offering commentary on their outfits will be Doris J. Hayes-Clark, who was Miss Washington in 1980. There will also be step teams, drill teams and praise dancers.
Monica's Bayou Oasis will be serving barbequed ribs, pulled pork, collard greens, macaroni and cheese and gumbo. There will also be a fish fry with fried okra on the side. Free hot dogs will be available for all children under 12.
While Juneteenth celebrates something very important for African Americans, Schaffer stressed that this event is open to everyone. "Please come out and learn about our history," she remarked.

Dec. 12, 2013
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's gymnastics team came in at No. 7 in the 2014 GymInfo National Preseason Coaches' Poll and was picked to finish first in the Big Ten by the conference's head coaches, as both polls were released on Thursday (Dec. 12). Additionally, senior Joanna Sampson (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Moreland) and sophomore Austin Sheppard (Murphy, Texas/Plano East) were named to the Big Ten Women's Gymnasts to Watch list.
The Wolverines finished last year ranked No. 7 after just narrowly missing out on the NCAA Super Six. They are ranked in the top 10 to start the season for the 16th time in the last 17 years. Michigan won a share of the inaugural Big Ten regular-season championship last season, bringing its total number of conference titles to 20, the last 19 of which have come under the direction of head coach Bev Plocki. Nebraska, the two-time defending Big Ten champion at the conference's annual meet in 2013, was picked to finish second behind the Wolverines.
In the national poll, defending NCAA champion Florida claimed the top spot in the rankings with 21 first-place votes. Alabama, Oklahoma, UCLA and LSU rounded out the top five. Utah was in sixth, while Georgia, Stanford and two-time defending Big Ten champion Nebraska closed out the top 10.
Michigan will face nine ranked teams this season, beginning with No. 19 Ohio State in the official home opener on Jan. 25 at Crisler Center. The Wolverines will also welcome No. 4 UCLA and No. 6 Utah in a tri-meet on March 7 and No. 14 Minnesota and No. 15 Penn State as part of the Big Ten Quad meet on March 15 (also with Iowa). In road contests, Michigan will face No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Oklahoma at the Nadia Comaneci International Invitational on Feb. 21 in Oklahoma City (also with West Virginia), Okla., No. 10 Nebraska on Feb. 14 in Lincoln, Neb., and No. 16 Illinois on Feb. 7 in Champaign, Ill.
The Wolverines already have a taste of competition, having defeated Central Michigan in an exhibition contest last Sunday (Dec. 8) at Crisler Center, 196.550-193.100. The 2014 season officially opens on Friday, Jan. 10, at Iowa State (with Illinois State) in Ames, Iowa.

|Pacific Lutheran celebrated a field goal on the
final play to beat crosstown rival Puget Sound, one of several big
special teams plays last Saturday in Division III
Pacific Lutheran athletics photo
It is often said football is a game of inches. Last Saturday, in no fewer than six games across the country decided by remarkable special teams plays, the distance between winning and losing was better measured by sound.
There was Case Western Reserve coach Greg Debeljak overhearing his field goal block unit saying "We're going to get this one." There was the shouting from the grandstand at Widener as freshman Laquan Robinson returned a second punt for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against previously unbeaten FDU-Florham. And then there was what coach Ben McEnroe heard as he realized a game he thought his Cal Lutheran team should already have sealed would be decided by the foot of Redlands kicker Joe MacMillan.
"One of the sweetest sounds in coaching," McEnroe said. "That double thump of a kick and a block."
With 16 seconds left, MacMillan was attempting a 40-yarder to complete the Bulldogs' comeback from down 21-9 at the half. Field goals of that distance are far from automatic in Division III, but MacMillan had made a 40-yarder earlier in the game and was 8 of 11 from 40 or beyond as a sophomore and junior, with a long of 47.
"You just feel like it's out of your hands a little bit," McEnroe recalls. "I had a time of introspection, or reflection. We had opportunities to ice it, and I was a little upset it even came down to that."

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
The underlying mission of CCLAS is to improve and protect the lives of Lakewood's pet companion population. By providing financial and volunteer resources, CCLAS aids in the adoption of abandoned animals including, but not limited to, cats and dogs, and aids in their well being during their stay at the Lakewood Animal Shelter. Through fundraising, adoption events, and the foster and spay/neuter programs, CCLAS interacts with the Lakewood community to promote education and advocacy regarding the Shelter and responsible pet ownership.
CCLAS is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes.

Lakewood Animal Shelter

Adoption Hours:
Sunday & Monday: closed
Tuesdays & Thursday 12 to 6
Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 12-4.
Adoption hours are Tuesdays & Thursday 12 to 6, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 12-4. Please visit our website at http://www.cclas.info and our blog at http://cclaspets.blogspot.com/
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Dear friends,
The spring season marks a period of reflection and renewal. With half our academic year complete, this is the perfect time to contemplate our recent accomplishments and envision the initiatives that will guide our work over the next few months. As you will see below, there is good reason to be proud of our successes and energized for what's to come.
Our achievements in 2017 have been widespread. Thus far, we have introduced key programs that both strengthen our liberal arts tradition and prepare students to develop the skills required in the 21st-century workforce.
- We built upon Hiram Health – a curricular and co-curricular program that positions Hiram to be the destination for undergraduates who want to study health, embody a healthy lifestyle, and help their classmates and faculty foster a healthy campus community. In early February, we approved a new Public Health major that will be "on the books" in Fall 2017. The new program is a perfect complement to other health-related majors that carry on our long tradition of preparing compassionate caregivers to develop the clinical and interpersonal skills required to care for the whole person.
- We strengthened Hiram Connect – Hiram College's way of doing the liberal arts – by establishing and institutionalizing guidelines for experiential learning and by incorporating structured reflection and interdisciplinary learning into coursework in meaningful and strategic ways.
- We bolstered the number of faculty and staff in our nursing program and hired new faculty in classics, economics, mathematics, and public health, thus strengthening our commitment to the provision of a well-rounded, liberal education.
- We also overhauled our entire College website, providing improved functionality for mobile devices and highlighting key areas, such as admissions and student services.
While we have already made great strides, we have much ground yet to travel this year. Throughout the spring semester, several projects will be shaped, launched, and refined.
One of the big ones will be the 50th anniversary of the Field Station—Hiram's largest (at 550 acres) and most beautiful "classroom." We will use this celebration to reinforce the College's commitment to an interdisciplinary sustainability program that uses this wonderful natural resource as a learning lab for various science, art, and environmental studies programs.
We will complete the "design phase" of our comprehensive strategic plan by sharing subcommittee reports with the entire campus, vetting emerging ideas, and including the best ones in the next draft of the plan. That draft will be written in April and then readied for distribution at the late spring or midsummer meeting of the Board of Trustees.
Our most transformational program will be the launch of Tech and Trek, a mobile technology initiative that will equip all full-time, traditional college students with an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and keyboard bundle in Fall 2017. The first of its kind in Ohio, Tech and Trek will utilize the latest technology to enhance the already strong teaching and learning that takes place in classrooms across campus and on the myriad treks students take as part of their Hiram College journey. Indeed, Tech and Trek will ensure that "mobile goes mobile," as students use 21st-century technology to capture, synthesize, analyze, and reflect upon the experiences they encounter on study abroad trips, internships, service learning projects, and field assignments.
Students often share with us that these high-impact learning experiences, many of which occur outside the classroom, are the ones that change their lives. At Hiram, this combination of hands-on learning and top-notch classroom experiences prepare our students for so much more than the many careers they will hold throughout their lives. It helps them shape a life worth living.
Let's all strive for such a life.
Dr. Lori E. Varlotta

Ready! Aim! Throw!
Why settle for just throwing a snowball?
So here's the plan, boys. Mikey, Luis, you're gonna go out front, scout the lines, see what they've got. Keep to the trees and stay low.
Ricky, Will, John, you're gonna stay perched in the snow on the left bank. You're wearing white, right? Great! You'll need to blend in. When they make their approach, you're gonna fire, hurling snowballs at them from their blind spot. They won't expect a thing.
Then Max, you and Zach are gonna charge from the right. Keep that satchel of snowballs close. You won't have time to reload at your proximity.
Meanwhile, Luke, Alex, and I will hunker down in the fort. For the few who've made it through to us, we'll finish them off with the snowballs we've got here.
We good? I'm telling you, guys. I'm feeling good about this snow battle. We've been making ammo all day now, and they're just arriving. There's no way they can match us.
Vrrrm. Vrrrrrrrrm.
What's that?
Oh no! They've got a Worx 18-Inch 13-Amp Electric Snow Thrower! We're doomed!

"I don't mind breastfeeding in public at all! As long as you're discreet about it, don't flop your boobs out and wear a cover because it makes me uncomfortable"
To this I say, thank you very much for your rules about my how to feed my baby so that you are ok with it. Really? I have been nursing my babies in public for quite awhile now and I can honestly tell you that I have never, not even a little bit, "flopped my boobs out". I have enormous boobs too. Seriously.They. Are. Huge. I have also never seen anyone else do that. Who are these woman that flop their boobs out? Nursing moms think about this stuff. We dress with the knowledge that we need to feed our babies with our bodies. We don't want to show our breasts to the world (especially you), I promise you that. We want to feed our hungry babies. That's really all. There's just nothing more too it than that. And a blanket? For the sake of argument, I just tried to eat my chili with a blanket on my head. It was depressing and annoying. And hot.The truth is that some babies are totes cool with covers and some mamas are more comfortable too. But the two that were born to me? They believe they are being killed if I try to cover their face with a blanket. I don't want them to feel that way. Because I care about their feelings. So I wear clothes that I can nurse in with minimal (read: virtually no) exposure. I'm honestly way more worried about showing you my belly than you are about seeing my boobs.
"There are children around! What if they see?"
I have a beautiful story about this. I was in a discount grocery store a few months ago and Ms. Plum became ravenous. She can't help it. She is a tiny human being with a much smaller stomach than me so she eats smaller meals more often than your average adult. Anyhoo, this particular store had absolutely nowhere to go. Nowhere. No benches, no places to sit. So I pulled up the cart to a back corner and sat down on my jacket and a baby blanket and started to feed her. A grandpa and his grandson came walking by. The boy was maybe five? Well the little boy wanted to see Ms. Plum. Grandpa took his hand and said, "Not right now, buddy. That baby's having some lunch". The boy looked to the grandpa with a look of total confusion and as they walked away I heard the grandpa explaining to the boy that mommies have milk in their breasts and the milk is the food for their babies. And the little boy was all, "huh, ok. Can I get a candy bar?" So there you have it. That's how you do it. Easy peasy.
"Sure, breastfeeding is natural. So is peeing and having sex but I don't do those things in public. Some things should stay private"
I fear that if someone ever says this to my face, I could become violent. And I am not a violent person. I am a hippie and I love everybody. But damn does this one get me HOT! I promise you that if you look through any commentary on nursing in public, you will find this statement and variations of it. It makes me want to barf. Drawing comparisons of pissing and screwing to feeding a child is just offensive. Period. And I want to pee on anyone who says it. But peeing in public is illegal.
"It's ok if it's a baby but that kid is too old. They are like a year old or something!"
All I have to say about this is please follow this link. And stop being ridiculous.
"Breastfeeding is a bonding experience between a mother and baby. It shouldn't be for all to see"
While I agree that nursing a baby is absolutely a bonding experience between mother and baby, rule number one for any baby, no matter how you feed them is to um...feed them. If I don't feed my baby, people will come and rightfully take them away from me because I am failing at rule number one. Which, to be clear, is to feed the baby. As a mom, when my baby is hungry I have this crazy urge to take away their suffering by feeding them. A nursing mom feeds her baby with her boobs. And when I'm at Target, I am not looking to bond. I'm looking to get trash bags and cruise the clearance racks. So if baby gets hungry, she eats and we get back to the business of getting those tasty organic fruit strips so we can head home and snuggle up and bond there.
"She must like the attention"
Oh sweet baby lawd! Get over yourself. If I wanted attention, I'd wander around the tampon aisle wearing a bikini. I really just can not wrap my brain around anyone even caring about me nursing my baby. I mean, unless I sit inside your cart to do it, it's just not your business and it isn't disrupting your day at all. So as a good faith gesture, I will promise to not climb into your cart and nurse if you promise to just not care. Deal? Because the attention grabbing behaviors are coming from the workers and customers with rude or harassing things to say. Or the two twenty somethings that walked by me and Ms. Plum on a park bench and squealed, "Ewwwwww, Groooooossss!!!". And yes, I almost threw a rock at their butts. But I am a bigger person than that. Most of the time. If everyone could just decide to not make it their business by being awful a-holes, there would be no need for nurse ins.
"She could just go sit in the bathroom"
I do my best to avoid public restrooms because I am terrified of being that close to other peoples pee splash. So the idea that I would feed my kid a meal sitting on a public toilet makes me want to die. And I don't think I'm alone in that. I would put money down that the vast majority of people would be hard pressed to take their lunch break enveloped by the wafts of other people's poo. Am I wrong? I really don't think I'm wrong.
But all of this said, I have had more positive public nursing experiences than negative. But I think I might have an air about me that suggests I am not to be effed with about this. That's not to say I am a hard ass, because I am most definitely not. But for some reason, for this reason I seem to be. So in the hippie spirit of ending on the positive, do you have a nursing in public experience to share? I'll start, I was at the fair in September and I was nursing Ms. Plum at a big picnic table. Right next to an older woman I had never met. After a few minutes, she says to me "I just think it's nuts that you are feeding that baby right here" and she giggled. I said, "When she gets hungry there's no distracting her from her mission" and the lady said, "I never had kids of my own, but I always thought that must be such a nice thing. Breastfeeding your baby. Just a nice thing". "It is", I said. And we went on to talk about the fair and some other random stuff. All the while, Ms. Plum was nom nom noming away.

The latest edition of our London Team of the Week, sees table-toppers Arsenal once again have a strong presence after their impressive 2-0 win over Liverpool.
Santi Cazorla grabbed his first goal of the campaign with a close range strike, while Aaron Ramsey continued his fine start to the season with a stunning long-range effort to seal the points.
Both are included as a result of their impressive performances, with the Welshman deservedly picking up the Player of the Week award for the third time.
Ramsey's team-mates Mikel Arteta, Wojciech Szczesny and Olivier Giroud also make the cut after the trio provided solid displays against Liverpool.
Tottenham secured a hard-fought 0-0 draw away to Everton at Goodison Park, and captain Michael Dawson is chosen at the heart of defence alongside team-mate Jan Vertonghen at left-back after Spurs secured another clean sheet away from home.
Andros Townsend provided another dynamic display on the right-hand side of midfield, and makes his third consecutive appearance in the line-up.
Chelsea disappointed in their clash against Newcastle and succumbed to their second defeat of the season, going down 2-0 at St James' Park. The goals came from Yoann Gouffran and Loic Remy, but Blues captain John Terry regains his place in the team of the week for his determined display from the back.
West Ham may be lacking goals but the clean sheet total is rising after the 0-0 stalemate against Aston Villa at Upton Park, with Guy Demel the solitary inclusion from the Hammers line-up after another impressive outing at right-back.

What makes my designs special?
Layers of imagery are captured in my glass windows. These sculptural paintings allow light-play between drawn, printed and painted postindustrial iconography such telephone poles, urban infrastructure along with silhouetted birds in flight, flora and fauna. Melding together in a lyrical "Wabi-Sabi" between our peripheral environs, archetypal ideals with the varying elements of glass's physicality -floating in time, space and memory.
What Inspires My Glass?
The definition of Alchemy is a magical power or process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value. This is the purpose of Art.
The Alchemy of Glass is a freezing of time that happens when the fire is at its peak and the molten elements accept their new crystalline shape. Glass is liquidity frozen in space.
A window (like a memory) is a perfectly sentimental, simple, ephemeral concept. A portal to admire, explore, to frame your exterior environment. The idiosyncratic lead paint weathered New England windows pictured in my work, with their delicate craculature and near nautical workmanship, harkens a time in history, and possesses a multifaceted statement on our sentiments and ubiquitous toxic modern environs. Seen with an artistic/alchemical view: a lead encrusted window suggests subconscious sight, the unknown archetypes that affect us all, and how we register our particular experiences.
Ancient Alchemical texts connect lead (a primary element in glass) with the body, creativity, and "Duende" -the creative beast within. Sand being a "prima materia"- the base for all existence- it is also the "prima materia" of glass.Here in lies the poetry of my work. Melding the physical and ethereal theories of all these elements into multi-media glass sculptures making connections between archetypal thought and the many nuances of the physical properties of glass.

A private commission for a steadfast collector in NYC, This framed glass piece consists of multiple layers of plate glass which has been etched and painted.
25" x 42"
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority put out an RFP around 2012 for artful bus shelters along their new R-Line. The new R-Line is a low emission rapid bus service. Ten bus shelters were created by local artists. I am honored to be one of them.
My initial rendering for my idea was created with the popular open source building phenomenon, Minecraft. I love the square clouds.
I wanted the bus stop to be serene and ethereal. The time one spends waiting in a space like this is solitary. Even when there are others around. I wanted the paint quality to feel handmade with brush strokes and hand work visible within the many layers of plate glass.
The atmosphere greatly affects the mood of this artwork. Some of the etched images include chandeliers, birds, & number patterns. These were then gold leafed and painted.
As the sun moves across the sky, the subtle imagery and color play of "The Mercurial Tree" dance and change.

"The Mercurial Tree" is situated on Rochambeau and N. Main St. directly centered on the cemetery side of the street. This old fence creates the vertical patterns seen from the front side at times.
I was pleased to visit the bus stop during the 2015 snow storm. I was excited to see how the subtle color and gold contrasted with the fresh snow. Just beautiful.
The subtlety of this installation captures the imagination in unexpected ways.
I am fascinated by bridges. They are reminders of the amazing accomplishments of human kind. Those bridges which are forgotten take on a life of their own; becoming reminders of our humble past and trellises for the nature's reclamation. This landscape depicts the Providence's iconic Crook Point Bridge. This train bridge has been frozen in its upright position for over 40 years.
GROW Education and Marion Institute were seeking an artist to create a mural in the Sgt. William H. Carney Academy Public School greenhouse. I was asked to give this 35' wall a whirl. Knowing that this is an educational space, I decided to create an illuminated landscape (based in New Bedford) using lots of gold which would fill this space with warm light. The organic shapes descending from the top are taken from microscopic cross sections of plant cell walls. These cellular patterns turn into branches which flank our view of this vast scape.Like the alter of a church, I want to entice and fascinate children into asking themselves, "How do I get into that greenhouse?".

In August 2015, I collaborated with NBOS to reach out to the local community members via the public park adjacent to The Ropeworks. I have always been fascinated with the traditional Portuguese tiles known as "Azulejos". I decided to create my own water based chalk paint and went out to the park to inspire the local community to give this elegant art form a whirl. The chalk paint was a wonderful medium to work with. Intense color and light brush strokes showed well once the paint dried. It also washed away simply with the following day's rain. No mess!

Republican Sinn Fein, which broke away from Mr Adams's party in 1986 and continues to support violence as a means of achieving a united Ireland, is putting forward a UK general election candidate for the first time in order to highlight its quest for political status for 14 prisoners in Northern Ireland and the Republic.
No nominee has been selected but it is likely to be Tommy Crossan, the leader of Continuity IRA inmates in Maghaberry jail, Co Antrim, where he is serving 10 years for conspiracy to murder RUC officers in a gun attack on a Belfast station.
CIRA, one of the extreme terrorist groups not on ceasefire, was responsible for bombing RUC stations in Moira, Co Down, and Portadown, Co Armagh, in 1998, as well as a blast at the Killyhevlin hotel in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, in 1996 and is still active in border areas and Belfast. Republican Sinn Fein has said that decommissioning weapons would be "national treachery".
Mr Adams had a majority of almost 8,000 votes in 1997, but a challenger would try their utmost to embarrass the sitting MP, particularly as Sinn Fein looks for a united front to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Maze hunger strike, when the 10 prisoners who died became republican icons.
"Adams and his people have sold out everything those 10 men died for," said Republican Sinn Fein's vice-president, Geraldine Taylor. "Our aim is to get rid of British rule, and Stormont was brought down before, but they [Sinn Fein] are now part and parcel of the British system.
"We do not have an armed wing but believe people should, by whatever means it takes, rid Ireland of British rule."
Crossan, a 30-year-old father-of-four, is being held in the same non-segregated jail as Protestant paramilitaries like the lower Shankill Ulster Defence Association commander, Johnny Adair, currently battling a government order that had him rearrested after he was freed early under the terms of the Belfast peace accord.

Expected more advanced course
By Jiri Klouda
from San Jose, CA
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly McCullough and Berglund on Mastering Advanced Git:
The presentation seems to be wasting a lot of time. For example the Pull Options chapter could take 3 minutes at most. It went through a single 'git pull' related config option and got to it after 25 minutes of a lesson on 'git rebase'. Now that might be useful of itself, but this is definitely not an advanced training video. I would say it is aimed at Novice to Intermediate users, definitely not experts and you could learn the same material in 1/10th of the time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good stuff
By Przemysław
from Kraków
McCullough and Berglund present material well but it would be much easier explain some aspects of Git with visualization (graphs, charts). Most of the time it's better to show Git history in e.g. GitX or other tool than display it in terminal.For me, videos look like too much as lectures. I'd rather see that as workshop with hands-on experience.After watching videos I incorporated some things presented there such as: push/pull configuration, orphan branches.

Excellent, but...
By ME
from Los Angeles, CA
I've gone through the first video course and I am currently half-way through the advanced version. They are both excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn Git. The Advanced version cleaned-up the display of the terminal windows and it is easier to follow.Why did I only give it three stars then?Two reasons:First, I feel that any course about Git needs more graphs. You are talking about creating trees, branching, merging, rebasing, resetting, etc. In a number of occasions they go off into an explanation and type away and presto, it's done...and it is very difficult to visualize what may have happened to the graph. It'd be nice to have a graph that tracks what is being done.Second, and this is probably the main reason for the three stars, is the excessive use of github throughout the course. Why is this a problem? Because you, as a student, don't have the ability to push changes onto the example project they are using in github. This means that you are sitting there passively watching, which is not ideal at all. You should be trying out these commands and seeing what happens.Understanding how to use github is a good idea, but this isnt' the only way to use Git.I feel that they should have gone through the process of having you setup a local bare repository that you have full push/pull control over. With that you could also simulate having multiple people interact with your repository and get a true sense of how to work with Git at that level. The entire Advanced course, so far, suffers from this problem. I have to simply sit there and watch the program lecture-style rather than actually being able to try the various tools and techniques being taught. What I plan to do is to, on my own, reproduce some of this work with a local bare repository so that I can understand this.

Advanced concepts explained with clarity
By David
from France
About Me Developer, Maker, Sys Admin
This is a great complement to the Mastering Git session. The conversation between both authors disconstruct advanced concepts and explains them with examples. This video is very instructive and fun to watch as all videos from McCullough and Berglund.If you already have an experience with Git, this video's for you. If not, please start with Mastering Git before comming back.

Everything you wanted to know about Git
By mko
from Poland
… but were afraid to askThis is next video on Git by Matthew and Tim. And they are coming back in a good form. This material cover the topics that are not quite typical in day to day development, I'd say. You might really consider them advanced. As I am entirely fresh to Git, I had to watch the previous material, "McCullough and Berglund on Mastering Git", as well. This is because, Matthew and Tim do not elaborate here about the basics. They dive into more complex usage of Git straight from the start.First of all, the kudos for improving tutorial sessions. If you step back to the Video they have made in 2011 you will notice few drawbacks. Terminal screens are not well visible and it is hard to reproduce the CLI commands that are executed by Mat and Tim. Sometimes, they type so quickly that you have to actually rewind the video. This was the past. They have listened to suggestions and reshaped the tutorial. Now, you get this nice, split terminal window (iTerm, I think) where you can see everything clear. There are slides with command lines that will be executed in a next step, everything is full screen so you don't have to focus your vision on a part of the screen. Big plus here!What are the disadvantages? Well, this is like with anything else at master level. It might be you won't use this knowledge in your day to day work all time. If you are coming from SVN world, you will probably stick to old good master repository schema and you will push everything compulsory to keep synchronized as often as possible. Don't get me wrong here. I simply suggest following. If you just starting the adventure with Git, I'd suggest trying "Mastering Git". It will provide you with the basics and you will be able to get on track really fast. On the other hand, if you are familiar with Git already, but you still have issues with branching, merging and rewriting history – give a try to "Mastering Advanced Git".Putting aside my SVN oriented thinking, I have to admit that tutorial is a fine piece of really good work.
Perfect way to polish Git skills
By Marcin Świerczyński
from Zawiercie, Poland
It was almost a year ago when I had a pleasure to review Mastering Git by Matthew McCullough and Tim Berglund. Today, thanks to O'Reilly Blogger Review Program, I can take a look at its successor - Mastering Advanced Git.Just as a reminder: I really liked the first part. But I simply loved the new one! It covers Git details in very thorough way. And, what is perhaps even more important, it leads you through them in extremely straightforward manner.In all advanced topic discussions, there is always one important issue to solve. Considering a large number of possible topics, which should we choose? Matthew and Tim decided to talk about pull and push options, rerere, methods of moving a code outside the repo, orphan branches and refspecs. Some of them are just switches to configure and (almost) forget. Although, I personally found patches, bundles and refspecs the most valuable, because these have a lot of possible use cases during the whole development and code management cycle. Nevertheless, all of the topics are well prepared. It obvious that both teachers are professionals in Git.In terms of technical quality, I haven't found any differences. Both video and sound are still very high quality.Listening to Matthew and Tim is simply a pleasure. I strongly recommend it for everyone who wants to polish his or her Git skills.Just a short disclaimer at the end: Although I referenced to Mastering Git a few times, I need to mention that Mastering Advanced Git is a separate product. You do not need to watch the first part to benefit from the Mastering Advanced Git. If you feel comfortable with Git on intermediate level, do not hesitate and go straight to the most advanced one.
Must have collection for Git users
By David W
from Colorado Springs, CO
Mastering Advanced Git video presented by Matthew McCullough and Tim Berglund is a must watch for anyone that is working or looking to work with Git. Matthew and Tim present a lot of great information on how to take advantage of some advanced topics in Git in a very short amount of time. In this 4 hour collection of videos they cover important topics like Rerere, Pull Options, Push Options, Rebase, and more. These guys have a lot of experience in Git and present the information in a fun way by presenting questions and the answers to the questions. I was surprised at how much information that they were able to pack in and still have time to provide examples, demos, and answer questions from the live audience. If you are looking at using or currently using Git, this collection of videos is a must watch even though it is on the more advanced side. I am a beginner to using Git, but have been using different source control systems over the years and was able to follow along. There was some moments that I need to research more about Git to fully understand what was going on, but for the most part Matthew and Tim provided back ground to the basic topics covered in their other video collection on Git. I would consider getting their other video collection on Mastering Git and I know that I would learn even more based on how well they presented the information in this collection.
Great demonstration of advanced Git
By Jim Schubert
from Richmond, VA
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Maker, Sys Admin
At just under 4 hours long, this video course packs in a lot of content. Each video is about 30 minutes long, so I didn't have to watch it all in one sitting.The structure of the demonstration is extremely useful because Tim and Matthew ask and answer questions conversationally while showing a split-view Git workspace. I think the hardest thing for some people to grasp in general about git is what 'distributed' means. Although the presenters are working from the same machine, the setup is done in a way to demonstrate this distributed nature.I've been using git for a while, but I have learned a lot from these videos. I've only somewhat dug into the files inside the .git directory on my own because I was afraid to 'ruin' my repository. This course does a great job of alleviating a lot of those concerns by explaining the organizational structure of the .git contents.If you're like me, you'll probably add quite a few of the concepts you learn from these videos to your repositories immediately after each video.

About meI'm a graduate student in cultural anthropology and library sciences, hoping to someday work in African collections in an academic library. Other than reading, I knit, play with my dog, watch way too much television, and perfect my virtual juggling on Wii.
About my libraryMy collection is about evenly split between fiction and nonfiction. Much of the nonfiction is anthropology, naturally, with much of the rest on current affairs and social justice issues. I also have a weakness for self-help books, and because I'm a grammar nerd, I have a shelf devoted to books on grammar and writing. The fiction books are primarily contemporary literature, with a heavy emphasis on female writers, but I also have some crime stories, young adult, and 19th century French books mixed in.
