UFC on FX brings Browne vs. Bigfoot to Minneapolis
A five-round heavyweight showdown between contenders Travis "Hapa" Browne and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva will headline an exciting UFC® card scheduled for Friday, Oct. 5 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn. The event will mark UFC's first in Minneapolis since 2008, when UFC 87 broke the Target Center live gate record with a $2.25 million mark.
Additional fights include: The Ultimate Fighter® season 14 winner John Dodson vs. highly touted flyweight Jussier Formiga; Matt Mitrione vs. Rob Broughton in heavyweight action; Josh Neer vs. Justin Edwards in a welterweight contest.
Tickets for UFC® on FX: BROWNE vs. BIGFOOT go on sale to the public on Friday, Aug. 10. Doors open on fight night at 3 p.m. CT with the first bout slated for 4 p.m. CT.
The main card will also air live on FX at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Unbeaten at 4-0-1 in his UFC career, the 30-year-old Browne has made an immediate impact in the heavyweight division thanks to his versatile and dangerous attack. Training alongside UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and under the guidance of renowned coach Greg Jackson in Albuquerque, N.M., the Hawaii native will face the sternest test of his career in Silva.
Owner of wins over the likes of former UFC champions Andrei Arlovski and Ricco Rodriguez, as well as former PRIDE® star Fedor Emelianenko, the 32-year-old "Bigfoot" has 11 wins by knockout and three by submission. He'll look to place himself in the title picture on Oct. 5 when he meets the hard-hitting Hawaiian.
"Travis Browne is undefeated in his career and wants to prove that he's ready for a shot at the title," UFC President Dana White said. "He's got a tough test in front of him in 'Bigfoot' Silva, who's beaten two former UFC champions and also finished Fedor. I'm excited to finally get back to Minneapolis and I'm confident this card is going to deliver for the fans at the Target Center!"
Tickets for UFC® on FX: BROWNE vs. BIGFOOT go on sale Friday, Aug. 10 at 10 a.m. CT and are priced at $175, $125, $75 and $50.

I just saw this listing today for a Landice L7 Pro Sport, which is the same model I've been eyeing for several months. $1500 http://baltimore.craigslist.org/sgd/3706787390.html
From the picture it looks like it's had a fair amount of use but seems to be the newest console design. I haven't called the seller yet. Looks like this is a used equipment dealer of some sort. I'm assumng the lifetime warranty wouldn't come with it, correct? What kind of questions should I ask?

Extensive live coverage of the Bayreuther Festspiele and Bayreuth itself, including loads of neat photos, can be found right here at Mostly Opera whose author is at this year's Festspiele.
Worth your while to click over and browse.
Posted by A.C. Douglas on 19 August 2008 | Permalink
[Note: This post has been updated (3) as of 12:43 PM Eastern on 27 Jul. See below.]
No one is more pleased than we to report that, on the evidence of the streaming audio webcast of the first act, our initial fears that a "train wreck of Wagnerian proportions [was] in the making" for the Parsifal that is the opening production of the 2008 Bayreuther Festspiele were ill-founded musically. Musically, the performance by all, Italian conductor Daniele Gatti very much included, was just fine overall. Yes, we've a few objections, but they all concern matters of more or less esoteric detail, and have mostly but not entirely to do with matters of tempi (too slow), and that, also mostly but not entirely, as it concerns the difficult — and decidedly esoteric — matter of internal metric pulse that's so critical to a proper reading of this most difficult and elusive of Wagner's scores. Our pleasure — and relief — that our initial expectations were in error musically preclude our proffering at this time a laundry list of our more or less niggling objections as proffering such a list at this time would serve only to make us appear surly at best.
On to Act II!
Update (7:04 PM Eastern on 25 Jul): Unhappily, we were called away just after the opening bars of Act III and missed that entire act thereafter. We did, however, get to hear Act II in its entirety and, not surprisingly, what we objected to in Act I was present as well in Act II, and there did significant damage both musically and dramatically although, as was the case in the first act, the Festspiele orchestra performed most beautifully.
Of Parsifal's three acts, Act II is the least elusive and least treacherous to negotiate musically, but the most difficult to realize musico-dramatically as of the music-drama's three acts it's the only one that requires subtly nuanced, real-world dramatic interaction between its characters, the two outer acts for the most part (but, of course, not entirely) being more on the order of animated ritual tapestries. And here Mr. Gatti's tendency to too expansive tempi sans the presence of that critical internal metric pulse remarked on above which he either doesn't understand, or understands but is incapable of realizing properly, not only crippled the act musico-dramatically overall, but hamstrung the individual dramatic performances of the singer-actors the only one of whom who managed to escape unscathed both musically and dramatically was the superb Klingsor of Thomas Jesatko whose performance both vocally and dramatically was easily the best of the afternoon. The Zaubermädchen had more than their share of ensemble and vocal problems; the Kundry of Mihoko Fujimura, the timbre of whose mezzo-soprano is rather too soprano and not enough mezzo for this part, was flat dramatically and unnuanced due in large part to Mr. Gatti's failures as noted above, and tended to screech her high notes rather than sing them; and the Parsifal of Christopher Ventris was no more than competently adequate vocally and dramatically. Ditto the Gurnemanz of Kwangchul Youn and the Amfortas of Detlef Roth, both of Act I, of course.
As to the production itself, we heard no booing after the first act — which given the audience tradition at Bayreuth's Parsifal performances that calls for complete silence at act's close was not terribly surprising, although the delayed applause was — and none after the second, either. We're not quite sure what that says vis-à-vis the audience's acceptance of the Stefan Herheim Konzept, and perhaps the audience response after Act III, which act we missed, better told that story as it usually does. In any case, here's a link to a fair number of photos of the production straight from the Bayreuther Festspiele's handsome new website. The sets look quite lovely, actually, but it's a complete mystery to us what they have to do with Richard Wagner's Parsifal although you can be absolutely certain that the Festspiele's program book contained a detailed account of what they have to do with the Parsifal of Regisseur Stefan Herheim. We can, however, say in Mr. Herheim's Konzept's favor that at least there were no dead rabbits in sight.
Update 2 (12:27 PM Eastern on 26 Jul): For an overview of the Stefan Herheim Konzept and how it was received by the opening night Festspiele audience, see this Deutsche Welle piece.
Update 3 (12:43 PM Eastern on 27 Jul): And there's this from The Financial Times.

Time to start girding your loins. The 2008 Bayreuther Festspiele opens this Friday, 25 July, with a new production of Parsifal with Konzept by Norwegian director Stefan Herheim, and with Italian conductor Daniele Gatti on the podium (he's currently music director of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna opera house as well as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra).
From what little we've heard of the production (Eurotrash in spades, natch, one tipoff being that the staging requires the services of a professional stunt man — a Festspiele first — as a stand-in for Christopher Ventris, the Parsifal, to take a 20-foot leap off who-knows-what followed by a few-minutes prancing about going who-knows-where), a cast of singers the names of none of whom we've ever heard before (Gurnemanz: Kwangchul Youn; Parsifal: Christopher Ventris; Amfortas: Detlef Roth; Kundry: Mihoko Fujimura; Klingsor: Thomas Jesatko), and an Italian opera conductor on the podium, we suspect a train wreck of Wagnerian proportions is in the making. If, however, you'd like to hear a live streaming audio feed from the Festspielhaus, you can log onto Bayern 4 Klassik radio on the Web beginning at 9:55 AM, Eastern, by following this link:
Windows Media Player
Or Bartók Radio (same time) by following this link:
Real Player
If we're awake and up in time, we'll probably tune in for at least a quick listen, loins fully girded, of course. We won't, however, be setting our alarm clock.
Update (6:43 PM Eastern on 23 Jul): Things may not be as catastrophic as they first appeared to us they might be. Two members of the CM&OF have responded to the above with these reassuring nuggets of information:
"Wagnertuba" writes:
I have heard of most of these singers, and they are experienced Wagnerians. Daniele Gatti is a talented conductor who has conducted all over with considerable success. I don't know how good he will be in Wagner, but the fact that he's Italian is not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to this composer. After all, Toscanini was closely associated with Wagner....
And "Daland" has this to say:
From Italy, here some details on Daniele Gatti: He's no more in Bologna, where he worked close to Thielemann (and this can explain why he's been called to Bayreuth). In January this year he conducted a most appreciated concert-performance of Parsifal in Rome, with the prestigious Accademia di Santa Cecilia orchestra (whose director is today Antonio Pappano, a long time Bayreuth guest). [...] He's very much acquainted with Wagner and the German romantic and post-romantic musical school.
Sounds encouraging.
Our thanks to these two most generous informants. We now feel somewhat more sanguine about this opening.

For the first time in its history, the Bayreuther Festspiele will, on 27 July, stream on the Web a live video feed of this year's opening performance of its production of Die Meistersinger with Konzept and direction by Katharina Wagner. But there's a catch. A $77 catch to be more precise. That's what it'll cost you to view the feed. Notice, please, we said, "cost you". Given our knowledge of that Eurotrash production, we'll be taking a pass on the opportunity.
Details on the live video streaming of Die Meistersinger can be read here.

IS HE or isn't he?
No one knows for sure, but James Franco's sexuality was the butt of numerous jokes when he became the latest victim in a Comedy Channel 'Roast'.
Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader were just some of the comedians who lined up to crack funnys about Spider Man star Franco's willingness to play gay characters in his films.
Here are just some of the best zingers from roastmaster Seth Rogen:
"He's a tough guy to pin down, although I've heard many guys have been able to do it."
"Franco told me he worked for 36 hours straight, which I don't believe. The straight part."
Most of Jonah Hill's one-liners are a tad risque, but let's just say he makes sure his pal Franco gets well and truly burned.
The star, who co-hosted the Oscars with Anne Hathaway in 2011, copped all of the jibes on the chin, saying, "I think this is truly my punishment for the Oscars".
The Comedy Central Roast of James Franco airs Friday, September 6 at 8.30pm on The Comedy Channel.

This is no ordinary Chicken and Rice. This is "Cracked Out" Chicken and Rice - chicken, rice, cheddar, Ranch and bacon. YUM! This takes ordinary chicken and rice from good to great!
We absolutely loved this dish. How could we not? It is so delicious and super simple to make. I used my weeknight dinner secret weapon - rotisserie chicken - at it came together in minutes. I had it ready and waiting when the oven was finally preheated. To make sure the rice gets cooked thoroughly and doesn't burn on the bottom, I stir this about half way through the cooking time. Turns out perfect every time!
Cracked Out Chicken and Rice
(Printable Recipe)
2 cups cooked,chopped chicken
1/4 cup bacon bits
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 (1oz) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
3/4 cup regular rice (not instant)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
Preheat oven to 375.
In a 9x9-inch pan, combine all ingredients. Cover dish with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring midway through cooking time.

Bucknuts.com was able to confirm that report late Monday with sources in Indiana. We will follow up on that report on Tuesday.
The 6-3 Offutt is ranked as the nation's No. 12 prospect in the Class of 2008 by ScoutHoops.com. He joins fellow national top-15 sophomore B.J. Mullens, a center from Canal Winchester (Ohio) Harvest Prep, in OSU's 2008 class.
Offutt's summer ended early due to an ACL tear in his right knee. As a freshman, Offutt averaged 10.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists as a freshman.
This is the latest major development for the OSU men's basketball program. The Buckeyes have four high school seniors ranked in the national top 30 – Greg Oden, Daequan Cook, Mike Conley and David Lighty – as well as JUCO forward Othello Hunter lined up to join the program for next year. Of course, Oden and Conley are also schoolboy stars from Indianapolis.
Then, OSU has a verbal from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, wing Jon Diebler for the 2007 class. And Mullens and Offutt give the Buckeyes a strong base for 2008.
Here is what Bucknuts.com wrote about Offutt in its August basketball recruiting chart:
The Short -- Offutt is a quick guard with a lot of skills. He is especially a good passer with a lot of savvy. He had played well in many national camps for the youngest of stars before tearing his ACL back in the end of June.
The Scoop -- The injury, which could keep him out of action until January, is only a minor setback for this kid. With Ohio State's need for taking a PG in the class of 2008, you can bet Offutt will be the top priority for Thad Matta and his staff.

Russia Blocks Chobani Yogurt Shipment to U.S. Athletes
Posted on February 7, 2014
Why are Russians denying the US Olympic Team its @Chobani? #Sochi2014 http://t.co/BjmzmkPx1M- Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 5, 2014
Russia has blocked a large shipment of Chobani yogurt to U.S. athletes. The yogurt shipment of 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt is stuck in New Jersey and the athletes will not be able to have it. Chobani is a Team USA sponsor. The yogurt block is part of a trade dispute that predates the Olympics. Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on Russia to let the yogurt in as it won't be sold and is only intended for U.S. athletes. Take a look:

Nothing excites us more than to collaborate with the industry's top artists to bring you curated collections you can't find anywhere else. We couldn't announce, celebrate and invite in style without them.
One of our longest-standing relationships is with Alison O'Keefe of Allie Munroe stationery. We spent an afternoon chatting with her about her 2013 collection and her take on style; "I would define style as your taste expressed outward to the world. Colors, trends and fonts change, but your style never does."
As long as we've known her, Alison's style has always been modern, clean and typography-focused. She has an innate ability to strip a design down to its most simple form, yet still hold on to the festive elements that capture the holiday spirit.
For this year's collection, Alison is focused on shades of green, which are full of holiday spirit—"green is my favorite color, which is great this year, everything from mint to emerald is in style." Our favorite Allie Munroe design of the moment, the Holly Good Time Party Invite, is a stunner with bright emerald color and bold typography.
And her designs for our brand new clear cards? Well, when we first laid eyes on them, we knew it was a match. Her simple, chic designs lend themselves perfectly to the negative space that makes our clear cards so stunning. These statement-makers are gorgeous keepsakes and unique additions to the mantel, tree or placed on top of gifts.

A maisonette and its underlying garage that were illegally being used as offices and a workshop/commercial store in Triq il-Ghajn, Swieqi have been reverted back to a residential dwelling.
Officers of the Malta Environment & Planning Authority (MEPA), through an enforcement notice, had notified the owner to stop the illegal use of these premises. According to law, an enforcement notice obliges the contravener to revert the site to its former state, in this case a residential dwelling.
The Authority on receiving further reports that the illegal use of these premises was still ongoing gave the owner a finally warning prior to having the premises sealed off.
Within two days, the person responsible undertook to revert the premises to a residential dwelling by ceasing all activities and removing all furniture and other non-domestic material.

Let's talk about taking your faith to school for kids. A brand new school year is about to begin (it's already started in some places), and you might be wondering how to prepare your kids. How can you equip them to bring their faith along with new notebooks and fresh folders? Here are ways to prepare you, your kids, and their parents for a new school year that focuses on Jesus.
Pop Quiz
Say: We're going to start today with a pop quiz. But this pop quiz is different from ones you usually have at school. I'll ask a question. If you can answer "yes" to the question, "pop" onto your feet and then sit down.
Ask: • Have you ever asked God to help you at school?
• Have you ever talked about Jesus with a friend at school?
• Have you ever explained to a friend at school why you believe in God?

Katy Perry Snaps Adorable Picture with VP Joe Biden
Showing more support for the Democratic party, Katy Perry snapped a selfie with Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday (June 24).
After showing off her lovely smile, the "Dark Horse" singer captioned the photo, "Brought my pink pony to the White House to holler @VP Joe Biden. #wheninwashington."
And it looks like the 71-year-old politician was laying on the charm, as Perry added, "P.s. He made me call my 93 year old grandma to thank her for my baby blue eyes! What a Q-T."
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Katy struck a pose with former First Lady Hillary Clinton during her stay in Washington DC for her Prismatic World Tour.

When A Roth 401(k) Trumps A Traditional 401(k)
The New Year's Day tax deal (also known as the fiscal cliff legislation) made headlines in the retirement world because it included new rules to make it easier for employees to convert existing traditional 401(k) plans to Roth 401(k) plans. Over the past six years, an increasing number of companies have begun to roll out Roth 401(k) options for their employees.
Many people now have the simple question: "When does it make sense to choose a Roth 401(k)?"
Before we answer that question, you should understand the key difference between a Roth 401(k) and a traditional 401(k). With a Roth, you'll pay taxes on the money you invest now, but no taxes when you withdraw the money at retirement.
In other words, contributions to a Roth 401(k) are not tax deductible, unlike contributions to a traditional 401(k). Distributions from a Roth 401(k) are not taxable, unlike the distributions from a traditional 401(k). The combined contribution limit is $17,500.
A Roth 401(k) enables you to pay a small tax bill upfront in exchange for what is almost undoubtedly a larger tax bill later. Thus, most discussion of Roth accounts tends to devolve into a debate on how much higher (or lower) tax rates will be in the future.
However, for most people, the issue is more basic. If you are a disciplined saver, you can get the same effect and the current tax deduction. You can save in a regular 401(k) now, take the deduction, and then save an additional sum in a taxable account to pay your tax bill on retirement.
So the question boils down to: Do you have the self-control and spending discipline to save money now to pay off taxes later? Or do you need the crutch of the Roth account?
Like everything tax related, specific situations and details matter. So let's walk through the factors that can help you decide whether a Roth 401(k) will make sense in your situation. By the way, in general, you should only maximize your retirement savings after you have enough liquidity or have built up your emergency fund.
Why not just choose a Roth IRA?
- You can achieve some of the same goals with a Roth IRA. But the Roth 401(k) has no income limit. In 2013, you can only contribute to a Roth IRA if your annual income is below $127,000 (single) or $188,000 (married).
- The limit for annual contributions to a Roth 401(k) is $17,500 in 2013, while the limit for annual contribution to a Roth IRA is $5,500 in 2013. You can contribute to both.
Real Money Example: Traditional vs. Roth
If you do the financial analysis on the benefits of the Roth 401(k), you can see the way the tax benefits and the psychology of saving come into play.
Let's look at two sample employees, Joe Facebook & Jane Google.
Joe Facebook contributes $17,500 to his traditional 401(k) in 2013. Jane Google contributes $17,500 to her Roth 401(k) in 2013.
Joe ends up with the bigger after-tax paycheck in 2013. When Joe contributes $17,500 to his traditional 401(k), he gets a tax deduction this year. Assuming his combined marginal federal and state tax rate is 45%, he will save $7,875 dollars of his 2013 taxes.
However, Joe hasn't really saved on his tax bill permanently. He's just deferred that payment to the future. If Joe's contributions grow at 7% until he retires in 20 years, that $17,500 will have grown to over $67,719. But assuming his combined tax rate is still 45%, he now will owe over $30,473 in taxes when he takes his distribution, for a net of $37,246.
Jane, on the other hand, will see $17,500 come out of her income for the year of 2013, after tax. But assuming the same investment returns, tax rates and time frame, when she retires she can withdraw the full $67,719. No tax bill is due.
From a cash flow perspective, Jane will have much higher after-tax income than Joe, because while they both invested the same amount of money, Jane gets to keep her full retirement distribution, while Joe has to pay taxes on his.
Why does investing the tax savings matter?
On the surface, it seems like trading a small tax bill today for a large tax bill in the future makes sense. The idea of a $30,000 tax bill looming in the future certainly doesn't feel fantastic.
But what if Joe Facebook saved the $7,875 in 2013? If he saved it instead of spending it on his daily cappuccinos, he could use the proceeds to pay off the tax liability on his 401(k) when he eventually retires, matching the benefit of the Roth 401(k).
If Joe decided instead to open an investment account with that $7,875, then in 20 years with a 7% return he would potentially have $30,473 to pay that tax bill upon retirement. (This assumes no overall tax drag on this additional savings. To estimate the actual tax bill in 20 years is difficult; it requires making assumptions about the type of account in question, your total taxable income, future tax rates and the final liquidation strategy.)
In short, to match the benefit of the Roth 4o1(k), you need to invest the tax savings from the traditional 401(k) to cover that growing income tax liability.
So Should I Choose a Roth 401(k) or Not?
If one of the following three situations fits you, you should seriously consider taking advantage of a Roth 401(k) offering:
- If you do not currently have access to Roth protected retirement accounts, a Roth 401(k) can help you hedge your future tax exposure. The high contribution limits mean you can potentially build up Roth assets much more quickly than through a Roth IRA.
- You earn high enough income to be disqualified from opening a Roth IRA, and you'd like to add additional Roth-protected assets.
- You have the income and/or expense discipline to handle the hit to take-home pay this year, but you don't believe you'll be among the minority of people capable of diligently saving for a future tax bill.
- If you do not have a tax-efficient vehicle to effectively invest the tax savings from the traditional contribution for the full period, a Roth 401(k) lets you avoid the tax drag from capital gains on the additional tax savings.
The Bottom Line
Effectively, any kind of a Roth account can act like a "forced savings" of money you'll need to pay taxes on your retirement savings. Most people need that kind of forced savings, which behavioral experts call a "precommitment strategy" – a way to overcome your own lack of self-control. From a behavioral finance point of view, people who invest in Roth accounts are likely to end up with more after-tax income when they retire.
More details on Roth 401(k)s
- Company matching contributions, when available, are not made into the Roth 401(k), but go into a separate traditional 401(k) account.
- You can have both a Roth 401(k) and a traditional 401(k) as long as you stay within the total annual contribution limit.
- When you leave a company, you have the option to roll over your Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA, not a traditional IRA. And yes, you can do this at Wealthfront.
- The Roth 401(k) is a benefit offered through your employer, similar to other 401(k) plans. As a result, the investment options and provider are limited by your employer's specific plan.
For more on your traditional 401(k), read our recent article discussing 401(k) administration fees.

Employee parking permits are issued at the start of each academic year. A limited number of temporary or semester permits are issued also. Parking permits are granted by the University on the express condition
that the University is not responsible for any damage that occurs to a
vehicle while parked on Lesley property. An online service allows
faculty, staff and students to register for and purchase their parking
permits quickly and conveniently.
Only benefit eligible employees and faculty qualify for Employee ("FAS") Day Permits. Permits may be purchased for 12 months, 9 months, or a semester.
Parking permits will be assigned based on a space-available basis or consideration of two variables: seniority, as defined by rank for faculty and classification level for staff, and length of time on the Lesley University on campus parking waitlist (contact Human Resources at email@example.com to be put on the waitlist).
The first group will include all benefit eligible administrators and staff with a pay grade of 28 or above and all faculty with a rank of Professor. These employees and departmental use holders will receive top priority for monthly/annual parking permits. Remaining monthly/annual parking permits will be issued to all remaining benefit eligible faculty, administrators and staff requesting parking based on the length of time they have been on the Lesley University on campus parking waitlist. Full-time employees, who are also part-time faculty, may park in the Adjunct parking area while they are teaching. Full-time employees may not park in the Adjunct faculty area on a daily basis.
You are encouraged to pay through payroll deduction. By selecting payroll deduction the payments will automatically be deducted from your paycheck on a pretax basis. By taking advantage of this benefit, many employees may save as much as $10 per month. If you chose to pay by credit card, (Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card), the full amount of the semester permit will be charged at the time of the transaction. All transactions are encrypted and secure and applicant information is kept strictly confidential.
Employees who have an assigned parking space on campus and carpool are eligible to receive a 20% discount off the cost of their yearly permit. Contact the Public Safety Office for details.
If you are a qualified employee and wish to park on campus you may register for and purchase your parking permit via the Permit Store. As a qualified employee, you will have the right to renew your parking permit at the beginning of the next academic year in September (regardless of whether you elect to park during the summer or not).
As part of the registration process, you will be asked for your mailing address, vehicle make, year and license number, permit type, and payment information. For your security and protection, you will be asked to provide your ADP number at the beginning of the process. Your ADP number can be found on your pay stub.
Once you have completed the registration process, a parking permit will arrive in the mail within 7-10 days. Please note that the address you select online will be the address that you supply, not necessarily the "address of record" by the University. In order to confirm the receipt of your permit, you must return to the Permit Store.
Parking permits expire on August 31 each year and must be renewed annually. The on-line renewal process begins in the summer of each year. In the event that a permit holder's outstanding violations exceed $10, renewal will not be granted. Payment of outstanding violations must be made on-line (see Citations and Appeals).
A limited number of permits on a space available basis will be available to employees and faculty. These spaces will be the result of authorized permit holders temporarily relinquishing these permits (sabbaticals, long term leave, and 9 month permit holders). If a wait list exists, these permits will be offered based on years on the waitlist. To register and purchase a semester permit see instructions for faculty and staff parking. Semesters are non-refundable.

Our newsroom usually hums with industry at 7 o'clock on a Friday, as editors and reporters bustle about, preparing articles and photography for that night's editions. But yesterday evening, we, with much of the rest of the country, stuttered to a halt – sub-editors groaning and clutching their faces, with one eye on the clock.
Regardless of the outcome of this Wimbledon championship, in Andy Murray we have a truly world-class sportsman; one rendered human by last summer's blubbering, those Olympic medals and the recent, compelling BBC documentary which explored his childhood in Dunblane.
The most poignant moment in that programme came when Sue Barker asked Murray about the shooting at his primary school when he was nine. He broke down in tears, before answering the question for the first time in his career: "At the time, you have no idea how tough something like that is. As you start to get older, you realise. The thing that is nice now, the whole town recovered from it so well. It's just nice that I've been able to do something that the town is proud of."
Murray is the most stubborn competitor and has banished the defeatism that choked Centre Court (and living rooms across the land) whenever a Brit took to the grass. And he's still only 26.
So what changed this year? He started enjoying himself again. "When I looked at early films of him, he played with such happiness and excitement, so my thought was that he needed to bring back the zest," explains psychologist Alexis Castorri, who has joined Team Murray.
"It's natural that when someone puts their heart and soul into what they're doing, they sometimes forget how much enjoyment they once took from it." Amen to that.Reuse content

Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
They are great, about 20 feet of line and a square knot, and you have a emergency rudder if your boat is small enough.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
I use my PP on my 22ft all the time both #1 and #2. I even left it for a few months (after many numbers 1's and a couple #2's) without emptying and I went to empty it and was expecting bad odor but it was nothing worse then it was when I emptied every week. What I did was use this stuff http://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Products-Bio-Blue-Deodorant-Packaged/dp/B0011MXVD4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1361412961&sr=8-4&keywords=porta+potty If I would leave my boat for a while, I would drop one or two of these in the tank depending on how much I used it. When I emptied, it would all be blue and liquified and help keep odors down. Normally I empty the holding tank when it get's full. This could be over a couple weekends or even more at times. Note that I would never smell any odor on my boat regardless of how long I went without emptying. Only time I would smell odor was when it was flushed but I kept a can of air freshner spray by PP and just spray after flush. When anyone came onboard my boat, I would tell them to use the PP, that is what it is there for. I used mine whenever I needed to without hesitation I will tell you that much.
This said, one of the boats I am looking at buying now has a PP. On a bigger boat like these I would rather a fixed marine head. I am wondering if someone can recommend a good marine head? The boat originally had one in it and if I get the boat I want to put one of these back in.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
We've had a PP on one boat for 21 years and a proper head/holding tank on the bigger boat for the past 17 years. If you don't need the holding capacity, the PP is fine, although the guys need to get closer to control the splatter, as another poster has said.
Emptying the PP if it has a swing spout and vent button like our Thetford is a simple matter. Emptying a holding tank, on the other hand, is typically much less convenient. Since the PP is fairly effective on odor control and aesthetics (hiding the mess), I see no reason for a bucket or similar primitive methods unless you are a real cheapskate.
I suppose there are environmental types who might object to the chemicals, but if your PP waste ends up in a municipal sewage system, it's hard to imagine any measurable harm to the environment.

Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
Porta potties don't separate the liquids from the solids, meaning you have to empty them far more often that a composter, which separates them.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
We're all for the bucket (with tight fitting lid) and the double doodie bags. Easy to carry out into the cockpit for a view. Much tidier than the PP. It would be nice to have a proper seat for the bucket though.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
From a more technical standpoint every porta potty I have ever seen is amusingly enough the same size as the ones they sell for training children, as in freaking uselessly tiny.
I'm actually super skinny so its not a matter of width, but unless your a girl the bowl is a tad small for both #1 and #2 to make it in at the same time without serious awkwardness.
Guys can't use it standing up either unless you want it splattered everywhere (look at studies on pee splatter from standing height some time).
Then there is the matter of the comically small opening on the bottom of the bowl with usually almost no taper to the bowl and the lack of any sort of real quantity in flushing power. A cross wise #2 of any size and you are quite literally S.O.L.
And all is assuming you have no issue with cleaning it out.
So I would say on anything too small to have a decent size fixed toilet with a pump out its just not worth it.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
One summer I placed the chemical powder for the PP in the holding tank. I did not realize that the powder drifted onto my shorts. After an afternoon of sailing and sweating, I looked down to see that the chemical powder mixed with perspiration and caused holes in the brand new shorts I was wearing. Moral--Use a liquid instead of a powder in the PP.
Dot and John
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
I remember one day after a lovely sail, sitting dockside, having a cold libation, waiting for the sunset. Then - five guys came down the dock, carrying their little briefcases full of - well, full of whatever they were full of.
Ruined the entire evening.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
As somebody who has intestinal issues (crohnes disease) I would be unhappy with a bucket because I would be using several times a day (or a sail). They are also not as stable as a PP as they have nothing more than your weight holding them down to the deck.
Re: What is so bad about a Porta Potti?
The original post seemed to imply that a bucket is the same as a porta potti. Not. A bucket's a bucket. At least a PP hides the excrement in the chamber.
I'd have problems with a bucket, too (unless every other system on board failed). I had no problem with the PP on our 22 footer.

Design Thinking and Neighborhood Renewal
Lately I've been reading about "design thinking," and I'm starting to see its potential as a tool for community renewal.Design thinking is a structured approach many designers use to generate and develop ideas, products, and innovations. It's most often associated with IDEO, the well-known design firm that created the first Apple mouse, and Stanford's Institute of Design (a.k.a. "d.school"). But what began as a process to guide the development of new consumer products is now being applied, often by non-designers, to business (including Apple, Target, and Proctor & Gamble, as well as soc … [Read more...]
Holy Saturday and Unanswered Questions
[Author's Note: A couple years ago I was asked to contribute to an article for Relevant Magazine about "five things we wish our pastors knew." Other contributors included Anne Marie Miller, Enuma Okoro, Matthew Paul Turner, and Jason Boyett. I wrote my piece as a kind of open letter to our church's new pastor. I'm reposting it here because it was written during, and inspired by, Holy Week.]Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday represent the hinge of human history. We celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday because they make everything else possible. But I think it's a mistake to m … [Read more...]

FedEx Embraces Environmental Sensors With SenseAware
fedex senseaware FedEx is making its move into the Internet of Things with a new package tracking service under the name SenseAware.
FedEx is making its move into the Internet of Things with a new package tracking service under the name SenseAware. Using a small device equipped with cellular and GPS radios, an accelerometer, thermometer, and a light sensor, businesses will be able to monitor a package's condition according to a variety of criteria. Big medical clients can tell if an item has been dropped, opened, or reached an unsafe temperature. GPS and cellular signals are used to pinpoint location. All of this information will allow for real-time decision making and increased efficiency.
SenseAware points to a larger trend that is unfolding in the mobile computing space, one that is saturated with sensors. Last week speakers at O'Reilly's Where 2.0 web conference discussed the possibilities opened up through the creative use and combination of iPhone sensors. These include both those for big business (mapping urban sound pollution) and for everyday entertainment (RJDJ music creation).
During the conference there was discussion around future sensors and what would be possible with them. What would adding a pressure or thermal sensor to the iPhone provide for app developers? We are in the early stages of creating Star Trek's tricorder.
With SenseAware, the iPhone, and DoCoMo's network of sensors we will collect an endless amount of environmental data. What is needed are creative technologists who can look at the intelligence coming in, connect the dots, and decide what becomes of it.
MobileBehavior is an Omnicom consultancy that observes emerging mobile technology, cultural trends, and consumer behavior, then connects the dots to generate mobile strategy and intelligence for leading global brands.

I was thinking about ordering another AR from LaRue or LMT.
LMT sales told me that the orders they are taking now, are at least 1-2 years out.
When I called LaRue, I was #15 in line, and they told me they are taking orders, but they aren't even speculating when they will actually catch up.
Scott, US Army 1974-2004
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
- Ronald Reagan
My current partner has his FFL, and his distributors are saying they haven't seen this in 30years. From what he told me, spikes tactical has a year backlog, most have minimum of 6 months for a complete AR. He has a month wait to get just a lower.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

Decoding Cats
Yes, there a jillion kinds of cats—not only have we pure breeds, but also half-breeds, multi-breeds, and pure breeds who mix with half breeds and so on. We know that, and we cat lovers know that we love them all.
Who knows what makes a cat especially lovable? My cat Frogger, the enormous feline whom we found grievously injured, seems to be every child's and young teen's favorite. Perhaps it is his immensity that delights them. Like a big dog, he is more laid back and much more accommodating of too-small hands trying to lift him onto too-small laps. Whatever, despite his absolute bullying of my little female, he is gentle and loving with people.
As with dogs, most of prefer a certain type. I'm a big dog person, but that is not to say that I don't adore a Wheaten Terrier or a Border Collie, smaller than the huge galumphs I've owned, and that I am not partial to a tiny terrier or a dachshund, especially the long-haired ones. Here, I am going to try to identify for you a few characteristics of cats. Once that is completed, we can get into the serious business of deciding which cat YOU'D be if suddenly transformed.
Cats have a long and honorable history. There are fossils of cats dating back twelve million years, which fall into three categories: cheetahs, great cats, and small cats, from whence evolved wild cats. In turn, those wild cats were the forebears of our own beloved cats. Tabby cats were domesticated 3500 years ago and are pictured in tombs of ancient Egyptians. Cats have had a long, long time to evolve into the lovable, beautiful animals we know today. Cats were so valuable to the Egyptians, for their role in keeping the mouse population down, that it was illegal to take a cat aboard a ship bound for foreign ports!
Enterprising sea-farers, however, managed to stow a few cats on board, and in this manner, they spread all across the world. They were valued not only for their hunting ability, but as well for their beauty and companionship. But cats underwent a transformation from deities, for the Egyptians, to evil, in medieval Europe. In Egypt, cats were so revered, a cat killer received a death sentence. Medieval cats were associated with the devil and often suffered terrible torture before they were killed. Now those were backward societies! The widespread extermination of cats allowed for proliferation of rats, which carried fleas that carried The Plague. By the 1600's, cats were able to come out of hiding and were once more valued for their hunting prowess. It is not a coincidence that the revival of cats resulted in a slow-down of the Black Death that swept through Europe, killing as much as a third of the population.
Cats can be classified into distinct categories (ok, maybe not so distinct. To me, if it purrs, is furry, and has whiskers and a dainty manner, it's a cat, and therefore, lovable and desirable).
A cat whose hair is the same all over, root to tip, has a solid coat, and these colors are black, chocolate, lilac, blue, red, white, and cream.
A variation in the color is known as shading. There are three types: smoke (usually gray on top, with white hair underneath), chinchilla, a cat which boasts a white color with a hit of color, and finally shaded, which denotes a coat that seems to have color brushed atop the cat.
Tortoiseshell cats have one solid color mixed with red or cream. Torties are most always females.
Tabbies are perhaps the best known cat color and pattern. A classic tabby pattern has a mixture of stripes and swirls, and the tabby pattern appears on the lowliest alley cat to the most magnificent Maine Coon. Mackerel tabbies have definite stripes and spotted tabbies sport spots Patched tabbies look as if, indeed, their coats have been patched together with stripes and circles and spots and swirls on a classis tabby.
A cat who has white on its coat, regardless of the main color is called a parti-color A bicolor cat as two thirds color and one third white. A van is completely white except for an orange pattern on the top of the head and along the tail. That's our Frogger.
Cats can possess points, which are colors on the face and ears, feet and legs and tail that are a darker shade than the body. You will find beautifully pointed cats in the Siamese or Birman cats.
Cats' eyes range in color from blue to yellow, orange, and copper. The shape of the eye may be round, the exotic almond shape, and oval. They are all beautiful.
Just thinking about the many forms of cats makes you want to run out and adopt more, doesn't it? Is there such a thing as too many cats? I suppose one could make a case for it, but had I an enormous house or heated barn, I would have as many cats and dogs as I could afford to medically care for and feed!

Most of you know I'm in the process of moving. In September, we sold our home and my parents were gracious enough to let us stay with them. Having a rent free roof over our heads has been a blessing and I hope we can do the same for someone else one day. We've entered into contract on another home and are waiting to close.
This home is the perfect place for us. An older home, out in the country, on a few acres with a shop. The best part? It's only 9 miles from town! Believe me, that's an improvement to where we were coming from. However, there are some updates we will be making to the property before we move in. So in all likelihood, it will be the first of December before we are staying at our new place.
December couldn't come soon enough. I'm tired of being unsettled and need a place to call my own. My family has yet to find a regular routine and we are going into our 7th week of living with my parents. Lack of personal space has created a lack of genuine family time and now that the Christmas season is upon us my husband is working until six or seven o'clock every night, six days a week.
Sunday is his only day off. And we spend either the morning in church or the evening at small group. As of late, we've opted to be at church on Sunday morning leaving our small group to believe we've joined another. This is not the case. It's just literally the only night we have time together as a family.
I hate being unsettled.
The only way I know how to combat this is to stay in the Word. It's the only thing that grounds me, giving me peace that everything is going to be okay. But even that has been sketchy lately as my health has been poor and I'm struggling to do basic chores.
I know the Lord will see me through this transition, I just need patience. He has guided me through this entire process so I know He will continue to go before me preparing the way. Please pray for me during this time. Prayers for strength, stamina, and mental clarity to make the right decisions and to feel no guilt about the choices I make. And please pray for me to make my time with the Lord a priority, to be settled quickly and find some routine again!
Question: What do you do when you are unsettled? How do you get back on track?Please Share:

How Digital Innovation Is Changing How We Experience Light [Future of Light]
Digital lighting technologies like LED offer completely new uses and applications of light.
As digital technologies find their way into nearly every facet of modern life, it is becoming clear that we are only beginning to understand their impact on our everyday experience. With the development of digital light technologies such as LED, disparate light sources can be connected to each other, and their data can be transmitted and analyzed, enabling unprecedented communication and controllability.
This new level of functionality empowers people to adjust lighting to fit moods, activities, and experiences. Such solutions speak to a growing ability to control one's environment without affecting the integrity of a space. And while these interactions take place over a hidden network that many of us will never see, the resulting experiences change our relationship to the physical world. Being able to make lights talk to one another and their owners, highlight and elevate our human need for connectivity. Susanne Seitinger of Philips Color Kinetics tells us, "The interactive part of light can set up relationships between you, the infrastructure, the space and possibly other people."
"The Internet Of Things" is defining how these relationships can develop. A web of connected devices and applications that can speak amongst themselves is changing the way people use light – in their homes, offices and cities. Nighttime is the obvious point of entry for such innovations because that is where light's full capabilities are needed and can be appreciated. Seitinger adds, "We have a lot more ability to manage, design, and think about how people orient themselves at night because of the capabilities of digital lighting." From entertaining a group to winding down before bed, digitized lighting technologies can enrich human connection after night falls.
Ambify is a mobile application that syncs with Philips hue to react to music being played and create dynamic in-room visuals in nearly infinite color combinations. It is uniquely designed for Philips Hue, a smart LED light bulb that can be controlled through an app using a smartphone or tablet. It brings an endless color palette into the home and advanced white light to help people relax, read, concentrate or energize and can be connected to the Internet for many more possibilities.
Another example is StoryLight. Philips has teamed up with Disney to create StoryLight, an immersive lighting experience that sparks children's imaginations through bedtime stories. Based also around Philips Hue, StoryLight synchronizes colored light with classic Disney stories read through an interactive iPad e-book application. As parents read with their child, colors light up to help bring the story to life, while multiple lights can be positioned throughout a room, working together to create a vibrant display.
Though not exclusively a nighttime display, You Fade To Light is a lighting installation that highlights how light naturally attracts us to a space, drawing people together around shared experiences. An array of interactive OLEDs mirrors the shapes and movements of passersby in the lobby at the W Hotel in Tapei via a custom-made motion-tracking system. The wall encourages interaction between individuals and a space that is defined by both its transience and the constant presence of people and movement.
Digitized lighting technologies such as these show that an environment does not have to dictate behaviors or activities – instead, individuals can tailor their environments to their specific needs and desires.
The Future of Light series explores light's potential to improve lives, build communities, and connect people in new and meaningful ways. Brought to you in partnership with Philips Lighting, a full report is available as an iOS and Android app or as a downloadable PDF.

The guys from the video show us two drops - the first one simulating a drop from the pocket, and the second one from the ear. Thankfully, the handset remained almost perfect after the first drop, with no significant scratches to ruin its fancy glass panels. However, the second, higher drop cause severe damage to the back panel. As you know, both the front and back of the Nexus 4 are made of glass, which contributes to the feel of the handset, but allows for easier shattering. That's what happened with the Google Nexus 4 after the second drop in this video. Still, whether due to a stronger glass, or just luck, the front side remained undamaged, and the touchscreen and phone itself were perfectly usable.
This drop test comes to show us that LG has done a good job with the construction of the Nexus 4, as it is capable of surviving the ordinary everyday hits of life, though it's definitely not in rugged territory with those large glass surfaces.
And here's the video in question. Unfortunately, the guy talks in German, but it's one of those videos where you don't need to understand what's being said to know what's going on.
