Three-day program equips new executive directors with knowledge and skills for organizational success
View photos from this year's event on the Axelson Center Facebook page.
CHICAGO (July 18, 2014) — A record-breaking number of nonprofit leaders graduated from the Axelson Center's 2014 BootCamp for New Nonprofit Executive Directors and CEOs. This year's cohort included 38 executive directors coming from as far away as South Carolina and Florida, and representing all types of organizations from animal welfare and housing services to faith-based nonprofits and education-focused organizations.
The Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management, a nonprofit capacity-building academic center at North Park University, hosts the annual three-day BootCamp program to educate and train new nonprofit leaders in a broad scope of topics relevant to the effective management and mission fulfillment of their organizations. Participants hear from experts in financial management, strategic planning, human resource management, resource development, and other key areas of nonprofit management. BootCamp equips its participants to implement effective nonprofit management practices and, ultimately, expand their organizations' capacity and positive impact on the communities they serve.
"BootCamp has been incredibly valuable," said Mollie Dowling, who took on the role of executive director at Chicago-based nonprofit OAI, Inc. at the beginning of July. "It's helpful to look at timely information on topics like strategic planning, fiscal management, board management, conflict resolution and organizational planning from lots of different perspectives. BootCamp also reinforces the importance of planning, and validates the need to step back and spend the time to do that planning at all levels of the organization, from strategy to daily work."
Corey Harris, executive director at Neighborhood Housing and Development Corporation in Gainesville, Fla., has recently begun to transition to the role of executive director after six years on staff at his organization. "BootCamp has armed me with the tools to do a better job leading our organization in the executive director role," Harris said. "For me personally, I now have a better understanding of the board's role. As an employee, you don't have a lot of interaction with the board, but now they're my key partners and I have to make sure that my board is aware of their responsibility."
"I like how the BootCamp program content is set up," said R.J. McMahon, chief executive officer for Robert Crown Center for Health Education in Hinsdale, Ill. "We're not going deep, we're going wide. It's lit fires under me and helped me identify areas where I need to continue my work and better equip myself for the pieces of the puzzle I need to know better. BootCamp has reaffirmed what I need to do and where the focus areas need to be."
"My experience at this year's BootCamp was excellent," said Sheldon Smith, head of The Dovetail Project in Chicago. "As a 25-year old executive director and founder of an agency, I've been trying to wrap my hands around what my duties are so that I can push my agency forward."
Executive Director Bernie Steiger of Literacy DuPage, based in Naperville, Ill., praised the opportunities BootCamp offered to connect with other leaders. "It can be lonely sometimes when you think you're the only person who struggles with a particular issue or challenge," Steiger said, "but as it turns out, we're all going through the same struggles. I've gotten so much out of connecting with other executive directors who face these same challenges."
The next BootCamp will be held in late summer 2015, and applications will be available in early 2015. Join the Axelson Center's e-mail list to receive updates on this and other programs and events throughout the year.

Point Mugu State Park is located in the Santa Monica Mountains, less than an hour's drive north of Los Angeles. Five miles of Pacific shoreline with rocky bluffs, sandy beaches and sand dunes provide some of the most gorgeous scenery anywhere. While Highway 101 meanders along the coast in many locations, you must leave it and drive west to Highway 1 in order to see Point Mugu.
The park's 15,000 acres of wilderness encompass the western reaches of the Santa Monica Mountains to the edge of the Pacific. Much of the area is rugged: Rocky canyons lined with coast live oaks, chaparral and coastal shrub feature 70 miles of prime hiking trails and nearly as many miles of dirt fire roads (shared by hikers, bikers and horseback riders). The park has two popular campgrounds, Sycamore Canyon and Thornhill Broome Beach.

You Are What You Eat: Get even with dandelions!
By Katy Wilkens, MS, RD
You can tell spring is here because weeds are growing. But don't despair, much of that green garden growth that we call weeds is actually edible. Native people in our area waited with impatience for the bright color of spring greens, knowing they were full of healthy nutrients.
Dandelions are an especially great source of vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants and other nutrients, good for your heart and kidneys. And picking dandelions will be great payback for the way they threaten to take over your garden. Verify that any dandelion flowers, greens or roots you pick have not been treated with chemicals.
Cream of dandelion soup
3 cups of chopped dandelion leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onions or leeks
3 garlic cloves, minced
3-4 cups homemade chicken broth, or low-sodium broth
1 cup half-and-half
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or tarragon
½ cup dandelion flower petals (remove green ends)
Croutons (optional)
Boil dandelion leaves gently in water and pour out the bitter water, repeat. Sauté onion or leeks and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add broth, simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add half-and-half and parsley or tarragon, simmer again for a few more minutes. Garnish with the flower petals and croutons.
Nutritional information (per serving):
Calories: 159, Carbohydrates: 12 grams, Protein: 5 grams, Sodium: 113 milligrams
Dandelion vanilla jelly
2 cups dandelion flower petals
1 quart water
1 package (1.75 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange or lemon extract
1 vanilla bean, scrape out all the tiny seeds
4 to 6 drops yellow or green food coloring (optional)
In large saucepan, bring dandelion blossoms and water to a boil for about 4 minutes. Strain through fine sieve or cheesecloth. You need about 3 cups liquid. Discard blossoms. In heavy-bottomed pot, combine dandelion liquid and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar, return to a rolling boil. Boil for a minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add extract, vanilla bean seeds and food coloring if desired. Skim off foam. Ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized half-pint jars, filling to a quarter-inch from the top. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and adjust lids. Immerse jars in boiling hot water bath for 15 minutes. Makes about six half-pints. I call this sunshine in a jar!
Nutritional information (per serving):
Calories: 14, Carbohydrates: 3 grams, Protein: 0 grams, Sodium: 1 milligram
Roasted dandelion root coffee ice cream
Roasted dandelion root is an old-time coffee substitute. Use it to make a wonderful mocha-flavored ice cream. You can buy dandelion roots at some grocery stores but it is much more satisfying to pull them out of the ground and roast them to death!
1-2 cups roasted dandelion root, chopped or grated
2 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 ½ cups sugar
5-6 beaten egg yolks
If roasting your own dandelion root, cut in chunks and roast in 400-degree-Fahrenheit oven until tender, then chop or grate. In a double boiler add cream, half-and-half and sugar. Simmer and stir to dissolve sugar. Add dandelion root and continue simmering for about 45 minutes. Do not boil. Strain and discard roots. Return dandelion cream to double boiler. Beat egg yolks in bowl and add in a slow stream, stirring dandelion cream with whisk until it gets to a sauce-like thickness. Let it chill in the refrigerator. Put in ice cream maker, freeze following manufacturer's directions.

Immigration is one of the most contentious topics of debate in Maine. Controversy aside, immigration is also America's oldest tradition, and along with religious tolerance, what our nation was built upon. Since the first people—the Wabanaki—permitted Europeans to settle in the land now known as Maine, we have been a state of immigrants.
Since the establishment of the area's first licensed hotel in 1681, Portland has had a dramatic, grand and boisterous hotel tradition. The Portland hotel industry has in many ways reflected the growth and development of the city itself. As Portland grew with greater numbers of people moving through the city or calling it home, the hotel business expanded to fit the increasing demand.

Here you will get the straight dope on national and local politics. No one pulls my strings. I have no hidden agendas. I hold no public or party office other than notary public. I am not running for office. I am running from office.
I do not fall for political propaganda or the lies of politicians or their public relations lackeys. I am, after all, a trial lawyer. I am by trade a professional BS detector.
Unlike some "libertarians,†I am not a flack for big business or the Republican Party. I do not hesitate to praise leftists when they're right and I'll defend conservatives even when they hoist themselves on their own petard.
I draw on a quarter century experience in politics and two decades as a lawyer and free-lance writer. I learned the law from my father, a judge for thirty years and member of the American Law Institute.
I learned about economics personally from Murray Rothbard, dean of the Austrian School of Economics.
I learned about politics the hard way. I earned a Ph.D in anti-politics from the School of Hard Knocks.

marine alternator
Is there any reason one cannot use a marine 10si or 12si type alternator on an automobile application. I know the reverse is not recommended, but I cannot find anything addressing this question.
It will work fine. The reason auto units are not used on boats is because of marine laws. Spark arrestors etc.
Then it's safe to assume they are essentially the same internally; only difference being the spark arresters?
Marine 10/12si alt/
Use to rebuild alts, all types. the marine has spark arrestors as mentioned so no diff. But some are 1 wire alts, pos. batt trem only and don't have an ign keyed wire but field themselves with Rpm, so if used a smaller pulley may be needed to initially start alt, that way you won't have to rev it up to start charging.:thumbup:

The Public Defender's office has existed only since 1989. It was created to provide representation so that people accused of a crime or juvenile delinquent offenses will have an attorney when they could not otherwise afford one. Any person charged with a criminal or juvenile delinquent offense who could be placed either in jail or juvenile detention if found guilty has a right to an attorney. If the accused person feels that he or she cannot afford an attorney, he or she may request an appointed attorney. If the court determines that the accused person cannot afford to hire an attorney, the Public Defender's office will normally be appointed to represent that person.
The Public Defender's office handles only cases in which a citizen is at risk of being placed in custody. The Public Defender's office can represent citizens only after being appointed to do so by a Blount County court.

Vintage Greeting Cards
Greeting cards were popularized in the United States in the 1880s, when offset lithography made them inexpensive. Louis Prang was one of the first American printers to make a name for himself in the greeting-card business, but he was undercut by numerous English companies, who exported their cheaper cards to the States. Folded greeting cards appeared around 1910, the same year Hallmark was founded. When folding was added to the older technique of die-cutting, the greeting card as we know it today had arrived.

Work begins on new campus trail behind Norris Center
Posted: October 26th, 2013
SNOWY TRAILBLAZERS – A Lake Superior State University outdoor recreation class didn't let the season's first snow get in the way of clearing a new trail on Oct. 23 through the woods southwest of LSSU's Norris Center. Lake State's physical plant is overseeing the project that may eventually include a footbridge and gazebo. The half-mile route — dubbed the Laker Trail — will offer hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and outdoor classroom opportunities when it opens next year. Campus and area organizations can help with the effort by contacting manager of plant operations Steve Gregory at 906/635-2182. (LSSU/John Shibley)

The dentures arrived first, then the stove.
It was the Puyallup Tribe's third free neighborhood cleanup of the summer, and teeth are turning out to be a regular occurrence.
"It seems like we get them every time," said regular volunteer Theresa Sportsman.
"Uppers and lowers, a full set," quipped David Whited, the poet and tribal grant writer who initiated the clean-ups and coordinates them all. "Albert picked up a stove by the sweat."
That would be the sweat lodge where tribal members gather to pray and meditate. It's a sacred place, Albert Combs said, and it baffles and offends him that people would use it as a dump. So he and his wife, Merrilee Satiacum-Combs, make it their business to clean up other people's misdeeds there, and on Browning Street. They carry pitchforks in her truck to heave the garbage.
They, Theresa Sportsman, John Strickler, Kyle Grobler and Ron Heinz show up at every clean-up day to help offload trash into containers bound for the City of Tacoma's dump. They sort out the tires, and the metal for recycling, and they sweep up the tribal headquarters' parking lot. In three clean-ups this year, they've gotten 67.52 tons of junk out of their East Side neighborhood.
"My volunteers are really shiny," Whited said, and grinned.
"Whoa," he said as Frank Costello pulled in with a pickup near to overflowing with trash bags. "This guy's a machine."
Costello had just been there, unloading another pickup load. Now he was back.
"I go around to the Puyallup elders and take this stuff out of their yards," he said. "We help all the tribal members who don't have cars. God believes you should always give."
Combs feels an element of the sacred in the work he and his wife do on their own at the sweat lodge.
"It's a place of prayer, where people come together to pray," he said.
And it's a place heedless jerks defile. He's picked up sofas, needles and drug paraphernalia, beer cans, liquor bottles, blankets – and that stove.
That's nothing to what he and Satiacum-Combs have found on Browning Street, the narrow, winding road that connects Grandview Street with Pioneer Way.
"I have this special little street over here where everybody dumps stuff," she said. "People say they're just going to do it again, and again, so why do I clean it up?" she said. "I don't know why it feels so sacred to me to clean up this one place. You know the starfish story? It reminds me of that story."
In that story, a storm has washed thousands of starfish onto a beach, and a man is throwing them back into the ocean. A passerby asks why he's doing it. There are so many stranded creatures he can't make a difference. The man tosses a starfish back and replies, "I made a difference to that one."
Satiacum-Combs shared that, in its own way, garbage saved her.
She was, she admitted, a wild one once, and got sentenced to community service. She was picking up trash when, she said, a light went on. It was the epiphany she needed to become a responsible community member, and family member.
Combs paused from forking Browning trash into the truck, and watched her stomp down the hill, her hands full of garbage, including a needle.
He'd like the tribal council to develop a policy for members caught dumping.
"I think community service would be perfect, and not just one day, 30 days," he said. "I mean, look what it did for my wife. Something clicked in her noggin."
They drove back to the parking lot and emptied the truck.
They were in time for the shopping cart full of Gatorade Kelly Pinney delivered to keep the volunteers hydrated on a hot day.
They enjoyed it in the shade near the spot where the false teeth were sitting in a place of mock honor by a tuft of blue sedge.
Whited smiled.

The principal fascination of this book revolves around Dr Brunton's preoccupation with the mysteries of the pyramids themselves. While spending a night of solitude, silence and darkness inside one of the pyramids - a feat requiring considerable nerve - the author claims to have come into contact with many strange forces. He proceeds to support the theory that the pyramids and the Sphinx were created by emigrant colonists from Atlantis who had command of the elemental spirits and so were capable of working many miracles.
Another compelling section of the book records Dr Brunton's association with Tahra Bey, Egypt's most famed fakir, who, in the presence of a critical company of medical men, entered into a self-induced trance. In this condition he endured an amazing series of physical tortures, and at the end of this performance agreed to be buried alive for an hour and a half. He emerged from these ordeals with no apparent harm.
The spiritual mysteries and magic of the Orient are timeless and Dr Brunton's profound experience and insight into these matters have produced a unique book.
Paul Brunton (1898-1981) is widely recognized as one of the 20th century's most eloquent and reliable writers on the timeliness and sources of timeless wisdom. His many books and personal example continue to inspire many current teachers and writers in the fields of spiritual development and personal growth. Born in London in 1898, he traveled widely for most of his life and published 11 books between 1934 and 1952. Another 19 books have been published since 1984 from the voluminous notebooks he reserved for posthumous publication.
one of his best books, loved all of them, this one inspired me to go to egypt.. so I went 5 times his other book in search of arunachala inspired me to go to india and I did two times.
this is an excellent read -Amazon.co.uk Reader Review by jeanie tee, sunny lancashire.
This book made me want to travel to Egypt! And, I actually DID go to see the Sphinx and the pyramids --- truly the trip of a lifetime! This book (and the corresponding DVD lecture series) was my guide to understanding Egyptian gods and the meaning of the Sphinx and pyramids.
Now back home from the trip, I love this book even more --- really able to appreciate the author's own pictures and the maps and the descriptions of how Egypt feels. This author, Paul Brunton, presents the Pyramid as an initiation temple and the Sphinx as the guardian of that temple. I gave this book to my nephew and to my dentist --- the book is beautiful, wonderfully presented, and makes a very nice gift for many people.
PS. At the Sphinx, I heard this idea: I have given you my blessing, now look for peace within your heart.
-Amazon Reader Review by LC Berardino
In this book the author Dr. Paul Brunton, explains the 'trance' like state attained by various people in Egypt, while making references to India. He provides a glimpse of the mystic rites that used to take place in Ancient Egypt for people who had the desire and strength to become initiates in those times.
Those of you who have read Rudolph Steiner's book 'The Gospel of St. John' in the chapter 'The Raising of Lazarus' will be able to link the explanation provided there with the explanation of Jesus's message that these rites are no longer required to become one with God.
An excellent book........my quest continues.
-Amazon Reader Review by CCD
I found that book absolutely interesting even if I did not give much credit to the spiritual experiences of the author. Although I think Paul Brunton has invented some of the content, I admire his talent of writer. He has a great imagination and his book gave me many hours of pure pleasure. The way he describes atmospheres is worth buying the book. -Amazon Reader Review by Kim Therrien, Canada
A very cool book, especially about his experiences spending a night alone in the great pyramid. Don't expect scholarly, scientific-type writing. This is a personal work, full of thoughts and observations of a culture rapidly being erased by the West. Very interesting, especially the story about the fakir/magician who can suspend his body for days, weeks, even years at a time. -Amazon.co.uk Reader Review by A Customer

Sometimes a film ends on such a jarring note that it can destroy any goodwill that has hitherto been amassed. Recounting the simple if predictable story of the eponymous fictional indie band's trundling rise and truculent demise, '1 2 3 4' coasts for the majority of its runtime on witty banter, likeable characters and the low-rent romance of sunlit practice rooms and underattended back room gigs. Short on character development and motivation but loaded with heart and understated ambition, the film is a perfectly acceptable diversion, depending on an audience's tolerance for skinny, bespectacled nerd-rock circa 1991. But the final ten minutes scupper all that has gone before: a wilfully oblique, gratingly pointless anticlimax that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

German Greens avoid split by re-electing leftist
By Erik Kirschbaum
HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - Germany's Greens party re-elected its two party leaders on Saturday with overwhelming majorities that put to rest speculation of a schism between its centrist and left wings ahead of next year's election.
Claudia Roth, a left-winger defeated a week ago in her bid to become one of two lead candidates in 2013, was elected to another two years as party co-chair with 88.5 percent backing.
Cem Oezdemir, who represents the pragmatic or "realo" wing and has pushed the world's most successful environmentalist party to open itself to coalitions with Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, was also re-elected with the votes of 83.3 percent of 766 delegates.
Although both ran unopposed, the level of support was considered an important indicator of the party's backing.
The Greens were junior coalition partners to the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) from 1998 to 2005. They hope for a return to government in another coalition next September -- preferably with the SPD again.
But they have opened themselves to a possible alliance with Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) -- an idea that was once anathema to what began as a peacenik ecological movement in the 1970s.
Roth considered bowing out of the leadership after she came fourth in the race to be the face of the Greens in the 2013 election. But her departure could have aggravated tensions with the party's left wing, which once ruled the roost but has been marginalized in recent years as the Greens try to win over voters in the middle.
"I'm not going to change my ways. And I'm not going to stop getting on everyone's nerves," Roth said before the vote. Continued...

Hello! My name is Leonard Joseph Audu and I'm an international student from Nigeria. I'm currently a senior, doing an individualized major in Asian studies with minors in both history and the Chinese language. Before I came to America, I completed a diploma in the Chinese language program at Dalian University of Technology and transferred to Missouri State University in Dalian, China, where I obtained my Associates of Arts Degree (AA) in General Business. While studying in China, I was able to come to appreciate the importance of diversity in education. My studies in Dalian enabled me to interact with Chinese students on campus as well as with members of other ethnic groups within the community which tremendously improved my spoken and written Chinese and also gave me a greater insight and understanding of Asian culture and history. I traveled around various parts of China to experience their different and diverse cultures, food, language dialects and history. My experiences in countries like china, the United States, and Nigeria has made me develop an interest in getting to know more about various cultures around the world. My diverse international experiences have helped me work toward learning skills that will be instrumental in helping me play a future role as an agent of change in trying to solve global issues. Living in China and the United States has given me a broader experience in both language and cultural understanding, which I want to use as an advantage in pursing my masters in Global Studies. In the future, I hope to find a job in an international organization that deals with issues affecting our daily lives around the world.

Software Craftsmanship
This book is 100% complete
Completed on 2014-08-12
About the Book
I'm happy to announce that this book is now published by Prentice Hall as part of the Uncle Bob series under a new name: The Software Craftsman.
The Software Craftsman was proofread, revised, and edited by professionals and provides a much better reading experience. The content is basically the same besides a few improvements in some chapters and a new appendix.
Go ahead and get your copy of the The Software Craftsman.
After decades and many different methodologies, software projects are still failing. Although there are many reasons why they fail, there are a few things that cannot be ignored: managers see software development as production line, companies do not know how to manage software projects and hire good developers, and many developers still behave like factory workers, providing a very poor service to their employers and clients. With the advent of Agile methodologies, the software industry gave a big step forward, however, the percentage of failing software projects are still incredibly high. Why is it? Why are we so bad at it? What is missing?
Although the term has been around for over a decade, it was just in recent years that Software Craftsmanship emerged as a viable solution for many of the problems the software industry faces today. Proposing a very different mindset for developers and companies, a strong set of technical disciplines and practices, mostly based on Extreme Programming, and with a great alignment with Agile methodologies, Software Craftsmanship promises to take our industry to the next level, promoting professionalism, technical excellence, the death of the production line and factory workers attitude.
How can we become better developers? How can we make our companies deliver better software projects? With real stories and practical advices for developers and companies, this book is recommended to all software developers and every professional directly involved in a software project.

Wounded suicide bomber held in Kandahar
KABUL (PAN): Police detained an alleged suicide bomber after he got injured in a failed attempt to explode a bomb attached to his bicycle in the southern province of Kandahar, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) said on Saturday.
The attacker was captured in the Zheri district on Friday afternoon after the bomb he possessed went off and injured him in the Hawz-i-Madad area, an MoI statement said. The detainee is being interrogated, it added.
The statement also said three militants were killed when explosives they were planting on a road went off prematurely in Qalat, the capital of southern Zabul province.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In today's era of sports where professional athletes are played tens of millions every year and are worshipped by fans all over the world, it is not a surprise that many athletes behave like prima donnas.
And with these prima donna players has come the rise of the post play celebrations, and the rise of penalties for these plays.
In the NFL unsportsmanlike conduct penalties have generally been obvious calls: receivers like Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco (back when he actually scored touchdowns) using the ball as a prop after scoring a touchdown.
However, two plays in the non-professional levels of football have brought the nature and definition of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties into question.
On Oct. 8 in a game between LSU and Florida, LSU punter Brad Wing ran a fake punt 52 yards for a touchdown. However about 10 yards before reaching the end zone, Wing turned toward the field and spread his arms (51 seconds) or a moment.
This was deemed unsportsmanlike by the refs and the touchdown was called back and LSU was penalized 15 yards.
Looking at the play, Wing's "celebration" was so quick it seemed that calling a penalty was a bit unnecessary. However his gesture did appear to be directed to players on the other team and because LSU was already winning 14-0, and would go on to win the game easily, no one took much offense to it.
Two months later a similar situation would draw significantly more controversy.
On Dec. 3, Cathedral High took on Blue Hills Regional Technical School for the MIAA division 4A Super Bowl. Blue Hills jumped out to a 16-0 lead in the first half, but Cathedral fought back to get the ball down 16-14 late in the fourth quarter. Then, at his own 44-yard line, quarterback Matt Owens took it himself 56 yards to the end zone for what should've been the game winning play.
However, just after crossing the 25-yard line, Owens raised his left first in celebration. This gesture was deemed unsportsmanlike, and the play was called back. Several plays later Owens threw an interception, and Blue Hills walked away state champions.
One of the first people to offer their input on the play was Massachusetts mayor Thomas Menino who ripped the refs saying:
"I think sometimes these rules are written by frustrated athletes. They never participated in a sport, and they don't know what it is to be excited. You play in a football game, you run for a touchdown, and you do something special."
Menino's reaction was shared by many: that this was a huge moment for Owens and his gesture was more out of genuine excitement than disrespect. But what made this different was that Owens raised his hand at the 23-yard line rather than right before crossing the goal line, and this could have been what made the play disrespectful in the eyes of the refs.
The NFL has much different rules on what is unsportsmanlike conduct than high school: in the NFL players are allowed to do just about anything before they reach the end zone as you can see from this Desean Jackson punt return last year, on which no flag was thrown.
The high school rule on Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls (RULE 9. SECTION 2) states that:
"No player, substitute, coach or other person subject to the rules shall use abusive, threatening or obscene language or gestures, or engage in such acts that provoke ill will or are demeaning to an opponent, to game officials or to the image of the game."
It then goes into seven specific examples of actions that would be considered unsportsmanlike penalties. The closest one to describing what Owens did was example (a) which describes pointing a finger, hand or ball at an opponent.
But Owens is clearly not making a gesture to any opposing player, so even this part of the rule is not applicable.
However the rule also states that a penalty will be called for anything including BUT NOT LIMITED TO these seven gestures.
Now we get to the heart of the problem. How is a high school athlete supposed to know what is a penalty if it is not specified in the rules. Is raising a fist to the sky, a universal sign of victory, now a penalty?
Or is it because he did so well before he crossed the goal line? If so, exactly how close do you have to be to the goal line to raise a finger without drawing a penalty?
To me it seems that the penalty was called because Owens was at the 23-yard line and not because of the actual gesture. While I could understand this being a penalty if what Owens did was deemed a penalty in the rules.
But the fact that it was not tells me that the referees were trying to set a precedent and send a message with this call, and because of the situation they did it in denying a player and team a championship, I feel is wrong.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
It sounds like you've got a rather unusual situation. In your attorney's defense, it is always difficult to state with any real certainty what a judge would do with a motion to suppress. There are very few certainties and many shades of grey.
It sounds like his suggestion is that the prosecutor would argue "inevitable discovery", meaning that they would have turned up the evidence anyway. Obviously, I wasn't part of the discussion with your attorney. If he was, in your opinion, indicating that the law enforcement "could have done this correctly, but chose not to", then I would agree with you, this seems like a weak argument. However, if he's arguing, as I suggested, the inevitable discovery, that might be a stronger argument.
Inevitable discovery, as the term implies, means that, even without the unlawful activity, law enforcement would have ultimately obtained the evidence anyway. In your situation, the prosecutor would need to have some viable argument that the officers WOULD have gotten into the car anyway.
Based on your information, this would be my best argument as to why NOT to suppress the evidence.
I hope you found my answer helpful. If so, please click on the green ACCEPT for my answer. This is necessary for me to be paid for my work and so that I can get credit for assisting you. Your question will not close, and you will still have the opportunity to follow-up if needed. Leaving a bonus and positive feedback is not required, but doing so is certainly appreciated! Thank you and good luck!
I'm happy to SPECULATE as to what might happen here, but please keep in mind, that's exactly what it is, speculation. While I can appreciate your concerns about your attorney, he is clearly in a better position than me to address this concern.
As to that, you might want to consider changing attorneys. It sounds like you're very dissatisfied with him, YOU did the research, not him, he has done little for you as to a plea offer and hasn't followed up on the search warrant issue.
Anyway, enough preaching....
To demonstrate inevitable discovery, the prosecutor would call the lead investigator. The investigator would discuss all avenues he had pursued, the evidence he had obtained, etc. Ultimately, the prosecutor would want the investigator to testify that, through his other leads, he would have ultimately located the car and conducted a lawful search of the car.
As to still needing a search warrant, it depends. For instance, they wouldn't need a warrant to see the outside of the car and/or anything in plain sight within the vehicle. Additionally, their observations of these things (the outside of the car and anything in plain sight), might provide an additional basis for a warrant.
What will happen here? Tough to say. I would suggest setting up an office conference with your attorney. Discuss all your issues/concerns with him. After the meeting, make a decision as to whether you stick with him or hire another attorney. Assuming the offer is still the maximum, you've got nothing to lose in pursuing the motion.

Dressing up Ampex 2012 tube amps
I'm seeking some ideas for dressing up a pair of Ampex 2012 tube amplifiers.
For several years now I've enjoyed using a pair of Ampex 2012 amps on my main stereo system. The 2012 amps were pulled out of a two channel Ampex reel-to-reel recorder. They are based on the 6V6 tube. Other Ampex amps with similar circuit topology include 612, 620, and 692.
I would like to dress these amps up a little, orient the tubes vertically instead of horizontally (see pix at URL below), and maybe find a way to stack them vertically. I like the front panels, which poses a problem in trying to orient the tubes vertically. I also like the "wrapped in wood" look similar to the BottleHead amps, which would be possible if I didn't keep the original front panels.
Here's a photo of my amps:
Thoughts on how to dress these up a bit?
If they were mine I would leave pretty much as is. Maybe a mesh cage and a second set of speaker connections somewhere less noticeable, but thats about it.
I guess you could rebuild into another case but then you will lose that 'retro original' look
I can't see putting it into a new chassis... i do wonder whether you could stand it on end on a little riser (connections facing down)

American politicians quickly realised that no moment was private in the age of YouTube, and now Egyptian authorities are learning the same thing, even when the private moments are chilling scenes of police brutality. (Note: The videos contains scenes of graphic violence. Direct links to the videos are clearly identified.)
Camera phone images of Egyptian police "beating and sexually assaulting" a Cairo man were being circulated via mobile phone, according to Human Rights Watch, before they made their way onto the popular video sharing site. Police have been arrested and will face trial on charges of torture in the case, but the man in the video, Imad Kabir, has been jailed for three months on the charge of "resisting authority" in the incident.
Bloggers and Kabir's lawyer, Nasser Amin, are now putting pressure on authorities to guarantee his safety in prison. Mr Amin calls the disturbing incident a case of 'routine torture'. The El-Adly Video-Gate case, as bloggers are calling it, appear to be one of a number of cases of brutality. Bloggers have uploaded other footage to YouTube including this video of the interrogation of a woman accused of murder. (Note: The video contains scenes of violence that some readers will find offensive.)
Amnesty International, Human Rights watch and Egyptian bloggers including Wael Abbas and Demagh MAK are working to maintain pressure on authorities there to make torture less routine. But according to blogger and journalist Hossam el-Hamalawy, bloggers could now face a backlash. Mr Amin:
warned of increased police interest in the blogosphere, and expected, if not a crackdown, a state grand campaign to discredit the bloggers.
Blogging has been adopted by political technically savvy activists such as Alaa Abd El Fattah in Egypt, who was the focus of an international campaign to secure his release after he was detained with 10 other activists last year during a protest to support reformist judges. If you want to get a taste of the blogs there, Alaa recently relaunched his popular Egyptian blog aggregator.

Children's Author Marcie Aboff
Welcome! I am a children's author of fiction and nonfiction picture books, chapter books, activity books, and magazine stories for children from preschool - middle school.
If you're an educator for grades K-6, you're probably familiar with my leveled and guided reading books. Many of my books are correlated to core curriculum standards, with Fountas & Pinnell, Reading Recovery, and DRA leveling. Scroll down to see some of my newest leveled books on the left and click on my page of LEVELED READING BOOKS to the right.
I love visiting schools to talk to the students about books, writing, and creative ways they can enhance their own writing. I offer a variety of lively presentations geared for specific grade levels or school assembly programs.
I also present childhood literacy programs for educators and parents. Programs feature easy and engaging tips and activities to create a literacy-rich home environment - which in turn will impact children's literacy skills at school.
Click on PRESENTATIONS and CALENDAR above for more information.
Contact me to receive FREE copies of my magazine stories published in Highlights for Children, Spider, and others. I have also included some helpful links (on the bottom right) about children's writing for both adults and students.
Happy Reading!
This colorful healthy eating series features six books based on the USDA dietary guidelines - Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein, Dairy, and Snacks.
In my school visit program , I talk about the writing and research for these nonfiction graphic books and the students have fun with my 'Fact or Fiction' food guessing game.

As the other fellow said many folks buy the wheels they want and work backwards to figure out the appropriate width for the rear. Same here, only want to do the drive train on a spare frame and transfer the body onto it once the drivetrain is complete. The fellow I am purchasing many parts from has a housing but I will not be able to use it unless I narrowed it further and bought new axles.
So I am not purchasing it... Once parts arrive I can determine the width I need.
In the mean time, I figure I would try to get some advice
Well that's cool, but it might not work out depending on the back-spacing of your wheels.
You will have to determine the overall outside measurement, outside tire bulge to outside tire bulge that will fit in the wheel wells where you want them. Then set your mounted tire/wheels that far apart and measure the distance between the wheel centers to determine the overall width of the rear end, axle flange to axle flange, including the brake rotor or drum, etc.
Also you must know what the inside measurement is from inside of the tire bulge. Leave yourself about 2" between the frame rails and each tire bulge. That will tell you how far apart the frame rails can be.
If the back spacing is to much on your wheels, you may not have enough room for the suspension components.
Take your time and think it out. The cheapest, the easiest, and the best route to go are rarely the same.

cam selection
F-BIRD'88 just trying to save you some money in the long run. Once you take it to the track a couple of times you will want more power. With a good heads and the compression you have, intake and 750 cfm, all that would be needed for more power would be a cam change. Besides with your short block with the upgrades and the cam you are looking at you can still drive it on the street. Ain't you ever heard the expression "HOT Street". I have a 454 I've had since 1997. At first I ran a set of oval port factory heads heavily ported. I decided to freshen it up about 5 years later. Eagle 4.00 forged crank, new Eagle I-beam rods, new rings and bearings. I already had a Crower solid roller .641/.636 and 256*/266*. I wanted a set of aluminum heads. I found a deal on the internet on a set of Edelbrock Performer RPM rectangular heads #60559 for $1395.00 (New assembled.). Now when I look back I wish I had bought a set of Brodix, Dart, or AFR's. It's not the intake runner size, it is the exhaust runner size that is small on Edelbrock heads. BTW, my last Christmas present from me to me was a 489 Eagle forged rotating assembly... Runs on pump gas too.

How do I get my dog to come when called?
My shih-tzu dosen't come when called to often. If she is in the yard, and I call her to come to me, she just stares at me. How do I get her to come when I call?

That's not uncommon for the breed it's kind of their nature. You can offer reward when she comes. Practice with another person calling her and then giving her a treat. Keep treats on you so she gets one when you do call her and she listens. Consistency of reward is important otherwise you will have inconsistent results. Good luck.

Try using the really realiable recall method, as in this article.
Always use a reward! This can save your dogs life someday and is the most important command to teach.
Sonny answered on 10/3/11. Helpful? / 0
food. biggest tool to use. use soft human grade food. always use a tether or long line to teach recalls. never scold a dog in recall training or punishing, it creates a bad taste for dog in his viewing of you as a teacher. stay calm through recall training. it takes time. I think if you go to www.caninetrainingsystems.com they will have videos. A safe and reliable recall is best. and books are where you start. The leash is the best tool for anyone. and remember even the best trainer or best training can fall apart at any time. our dogs do act out of natural instincts such as prey drive and being doggie friendly or the opposite. But the recall work is so worth trying to keep pets safe. good luck.
also check out some other sites for books or videos www.workingdogs.com

Ah Christmas, my favorite time of year. Usually around Thanksgiving weekend I seclude myself to my kitchen and start churning out hundreds of my Grandmother's sugar cookies which truly are better than sex, and I happen to be the only one of my relatives who bothered to get her recipe before she passed away, so I'll be darned if I'm gonna share that secret! Anyway, I usually re-emerge around this time in December with dozens of flat-rate boxes filled to the brim with about 100lbs of sugar and butter mixed into sweet ecstasy and cut into cute tree and snowman shapes. To me this is what the holiday season is all about.
But to mini-me it's about wrapping gifts, giving gifts, unwrapping gifts, extra time playing with her cousins, singing carols, hanging lights and most of all this guy and all of the magic that goes along with him:
Which I guess is almost the same thing since it all boils down to a few traditions, and doing nice things for the people we love. I'm not a religious person, so for me holidays are about family, but not everyone in my life feels the same.
Working backwards through my week of festivities (not really, I've mostly just been working), today I was talking to an old friend who also loudly proclaims to be an Atheist (more on that later). She was telling me how she chooses not to celebrate anything during this time of year because it's all about prophets and gods and other made up magical beings, but at the same time she doesn't want to exclude her toddler from the fun and experiences his friends all get to have. Quite a conundrum I suppose. So she took him to see Santa, but has had trouble getting invited to any holiday parties or get-togethers and had to resort to telling her friends that she would be willing to drop her son off and pick him up later if the trouble was people being uncomfortable with the subjects she likes to bring up around this time of year… As it turns out she was right, nobody likes it if you take a fun holiday and use it as a stand to shove your beliefs (or lack there of) down everyone's throat.
Imagine that…
Now since I have had a very interesting couple of months this sparked a little thought in the back of my mind..
See for the last few months I've been spending a great deal of time around foreign nationals, mostly Egyptians and Afghans with the occasional Pakistani thrown into the mix. Now as you would probably expect each and every one of them has been Muslim, and during our time together I have been sure to never turn down an invitation to any of their parties (that would be super rude in their culture). So as a result I have celebrated Eid with them, I've celebrated Thanksgiving with them, I've celebrated a couple holidays that I have no idea what they were, AND I've now celebrated Christmas with them, and you know what? It's been a fricking blast! Seriously, there's been nothing but good food and kind people surrounding themselves with friends, family, coworkers, and anybody else who wants to come. They really go all out and without even a single thought as to how whatever holiday fits into their actual religion or culture or whatever…
But then, one of my friends (sigh, actually a relative, so I can't just delete him..) decided it would be festive to post this on Facebook:
It came along with a long and completely ignorant tirade about how Islam caused 9/11 and Christianity causes bunions in small children, and the world would clearly be a better place if we were all just fanatical Atheists…
So this is about where my little idea just about bubbled over and I decided that I hate everyone.
I hate the Anti-theists (more on that later) for telling me I'm a dick if I like the holidays.
I hate the Christians for telling me to think of Jesus while I'm downing that entire bottle of wine.
I hate the Jews because none of my Jewish friends ever have anything to say about this time of year, they just quietly mind their own business.
I hate the Muslims for making me fat.
I hate the Wiccans for reminding me that trees and Santa don't make any goddamned sense.
Okay, but in all seriousness, it really did get me thinking. Now I would probably consider myself an Atheist, because I don't believe in God, that's not to say that I don't have any beliefs though, because I do. But my beliefs are based off of some things I experienced once upon a time when I was very close to death, and while I don't like to talk about it much since it's extremely personal, God and most of the things found in religion were not a part of it. But at the same time I'm almost embarrassed to call myself an Atheist BECAUSE of people whom I really categorize as being Anti-theists. I'm sure you know the kind of person I'm talking about here too. See to me a-theism, is the absence of religious beliefs, whereas anti-theism is being against religion as a whole. Two very different ideas which both tend to be lumped under the umbrella of Atheism. So I guess, all I really want to say is:
1. To all the Anti-theists out there calling yourself Atheists, you're just a bunch of ridiculous assholes just like the religious extremists that you like to cite as proof that your beliefs are better than anyone else's. So stop ruining things for the rest of us.
2. There's so much prejudice against Islam in Western culture these days, but really, they're the only ones I can stand during this time of year because they're the only ones not getting all hung up on intolerance and bullshit. I think we could all stand to learn a thing or two here..

How many ground rods?
How many 8' ground rods should I install for a house in the country with plenty of acreage and no metal plumbing?
Usually 2 ground rods are installed at least 6' between them
#6 min wire to connect to panel
I'm grounding two 200A panelboards, and plan to run #4 cu from each panel to the first rod with one continuing on to how many other rods I decide on. I've heard anywhere from two to eight rods but wondered what standard practice might be.
Standard practice = two
No ground rods are required by code.
If no forms of electrode exist, such as a metal underground water pipe, rebar in footings, or building steel, then a form of electrode is required to be installed.
Absent any other electrodes you can install a ground rod. If this rod does not meet the 25 ohms or less requirement (rarely even checked) then you can simply add another supplemental rod. Nothing more is required.
Unless a concrete encased electrode (rebar) is present most electricians simply sink two rods and are done with it.
Whoever told you you need eight rods is rather clueless.
Bored today Petey? :jester:
A simple question deserves a simple answer.
Thanks, will install two.
You know me, if there is one simple answer I'll usually give it where others might elaborate excessively.
This is one area I don't like to be short and sweet. I like to give the correct answer. If someone asks how many ground rods are required the ONLY correct answer is NONE.
If there is a Ufer available WHY in the world would you install ANY ground rods????

Hi there,
snk-artwork, you shouldn´t design logos for that price ($40) in the first place, that´s not even a decent upfront.
Anyway, i hope you can solve it out with the client, in my opinon if the client accepted your work you should get paied.
I´m not going to judge your work, but logo design is very difficult to master, if you think you master it you should charge much more!

The burgerdoodles get their pickles in green five gallon buckets too. Any food service place is a potential bucket source.
Pickle flavored honey. There is something my wife would love. (She bought dill pickle chip dip for the coming snow storm).
Nope, the girl just love pickles.............. and pickle juice.....and pickle flavored whatever.... and more pickles.

Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper returned to practice Tuesday after a four-day excused absence, and he will play Friday against the Patriots. There was a swell of voices who wanted Cooper released by the Eagles after his racist comments found viral fame last week. For a time, it seemed like there was a decent possibility that Cooper would receive his walking papers. But it's doubtful that such an event will take place now, because the Eagles are running dangerously low on healthy wide receivers.
The latest Eagles wideout felled is Arrelious Benn , who tore the ACL in his left knee during practice today. He is obviously finished for the season. Benn tore the same ACL in 2010.
And there's more: Wide receiver Damaris Johnson had to leave the practice early because of a hamstring injury. Its severity is unknown.
Fantasy Analysis:
No matter what his teammates think of him, it's clear that the Eagles won't be moving Cooper. He was working with the first-team offense on his first day back. He will have to compete against Russell Shepard for the No. 2 WR job. At least DeSean Jackson is having a solid camp, because everything else has gone terribly wrong for the Eagles at that position. Instead of talking up Jason Avant or Cooper, known commodities with low ceilings, I think there's a good possibility that LeSean McCoy and rookie tight end Zach Ertz pick up a lot of the production lost through the Eagles' season-ending injuries. Ertz is an interesting TE2.
Benn's future in this league is murky.


text: Good WAR write up. The very chart itself raises a big question: how can anyone use WAR as THE number, when people can't even agree what the WAR number is? At any rate, if we are using WAR…I'll agree that Trout is better than Cabrera, if you'll agree that Don Kelly (0.5) is better than Victor Martinez (0.3).

Pay more and they won't leave at least until they are offered a good gig. I.e. Houston and Rutgers don't qualify as a top gig.

Down 15 at the break, the Wright State women's basketball started the second half with a 27-7 run and then scored six straight points in the final minute to pull out a 66-65 win at Xavier Saturday afternoon.
The difference was just three following a Kim Demmings three-pointer with 12:16 to go in the first half, but Xavier followed with a 13-4 run over the next four minutes to go up 30-18 at the eight-minute mark. WSU closed the gap to 34-26 on another Demmings three before the Musketeers scored the final seven points of the period to take a 41-26 halftime lead.
Xavier shot 53 percent from the field in the first half, including four of eight three-pointers, while Wright State shot just 35 percent despite going five of 10 from behind the arc.
The Xavier lead was 45-31 before the Raiders scored 18 straight points over a 4:21 span, 10 of those coming from KC Elkins, to go up 49-45 with 12:55 remaining. A Kayla Lamotte layup gave WSU its biggest lead of the day at 53-48 with 10:22 left, only to see the Musketeers answer with eight in a row to regain the advantage at 56-53.
Down 60-57, a Demmings three-point play with 2:16 to go tied it and after Xavier went back in front with two free throws, another three-point play by the sophomore guard with 57.1 seconds left put Wright State ahead for good at 63-62.
After Demmings forced a steal on Xavier's next possession, she made one of two at the line at the 15.9-second mark to make it a two-point game.
Taylor Stanton then made it a two-possession game as after she gathered in the defensive rebound on a miss by the Musketeers, she hit two foul shots with 4.7 seconds left. That proved to be the difference as Xavier's Amber Gray connected on a three at the buzzer.
The Raiders shot 39 percent for the game and were nine of 19 from three-point range while the Musketeers shot just 27 percent the final 20 minutes to finish at 39 percent for the contest. WSU was 13 of 26 at the foul line compared to nine of 13 for Xavier.
Demmings led all scorers with 29 points while Elkins had 12 points, all in the second half, and added six assists. Breanna Stucke chipped 10 points and Stanton collected 14 rebounds.
Gray had 18 off the bench to pace Xavier (4-5) while Lakeisha Crouch had a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. Jenna Crittendon added eight points, 17 rebounds and seven assists.
Wright State (5-4) takes a three-game winning streak into next week's Wright State Invitational Presented by Holiday Inn. The tournament begins on Wednesday, December 19, as Saint Francis (PA) faces Florida A&M at 3:00, followed by the Raiders taking on Western Kentucky at 5:30. The consolation and championship games are set for Friday, December 21, with WSU set to play either way in the 7:00 contest.

Please note that our pre- and post-cruise programmes are conducted in German.
For individual programmes kindly consult your travel agent.
Following programmes we offer in German:
Exclusive, renowned guests discuss contemporary issues
Sabine Christiansen, one of the most famous journalists in Germany, will invite renowned experts in the fields of finance, politics and society to discuss contemporary issues. At "talk2christiansen" presentations, discussion rounds and conversations, you will meet international politicians, Nobel Prize winners, entrepreneurs, experts, best-selling authors and figures from public life. In this exclusive format, you will come face-to-face with people who have something to say. For example, previous guests who have participated in "talk2christiansen" include Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences; Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference; Frank Sieren, a leading specialist on Asia; Dirk "Mr DAX" Müller; and many others.
Michael Lüders
The veteran Middle East expert and Peter-Scholl Latour's successor as president of the German-Arab Association will discuss current affairs in the region your cruise will be visiting. He asks whether international politics is capable of achieving peace in Syria and the wider region, and whether that will be enough to stem the flow of refugees to Europe.
Picture: Axel Thomae
Hans Olaf Henkel
This Member of European Parliament has held many roles, including IBM manager, president of the BDI (German industry association) and federal board member of the AfD (German political party). He believes German Chancellor Angela Merkel's refugee policy is responsible for recent AfD successes and their inclusion in state parliaments. Henkel shows understanding for the voters - many were not aware that the AfD has been infiltrated by right-wing forces and are in for a rude awakening.

If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
