With her children grown and having lost her husband in a motor vehicle accident in 1972, she decided to return to her roots with the Lower Sioux Indian Community, near Redwood Falls, Minnesota in 1991. Being an enrolled member of that Community and it being the proprietor of the very successful Jackpot Jdnction Casino her motivations may have contained some thoughts of participating in some ofthe economic benefits flowing from the new green buffalo. After fulfilling her two years residency requirement, Eidsvig begin receiving her monthly per capita payment from the Community's gaming revenue in 1993. In the early years she received approximately $3,000 per month, and in later years around $6,000. Community members receiving per caps increased from 141 adults and 125 minors in fiscal year 1990 to 311 adults and 236 minors in fiscal year 2001. After giving retirement and part time jobs a fling for a while Eidsvig was bored and decided to try something she always wanted to do, go to college. So in 1995 at the comfortable age of 68 she entered the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis seeking a B. A. degree in Women's Studies. Being away from education for so long and needing some remedial courses, Maxine graduated in May 2001. Since Lower Sioux Community educational benefits only pay for four years of study, Eidsvig paid the last two years herself. After graduating in May 2001, she looked forward to moving back home to the Lower Sioux Community and using her recently acquired knowledge. With housing in short supply in the Community and in the Redwood Falls area and because of a serious asthma, she had trouble finding suitable housing. Aware that she had 60 days to SIOUX to page 7 White Earth meeting calls for racial unity in coalition against state-tribal law enforcement agreement By Jeff Armstrong A biracial coalition of White Earth residents opposed to a tribal law enforcement agreement with Becker County agreed to set aside differences which emerged at Citizens for Lawful Government's second meeting in Callaway April 16. "If we're able to band together—U.S. citizens and White Earth citizens—we'll be able to dismantle this police force. If it's just one side or the other, we'll be like a one-legged dog," said Leonard Roy, Jr., a tribal member. Former Callaway mayor Ken Pearson, spokesperson for the group, issued a similar plea for unity. "I think we're going to accomplish a lot more if we don't divide along racial lines," Pearson said. "Whether you're Native American or not Native American, [the agreement] is unjust, unfair and illegal." James Shimek complained that since its founding two months ago, CLG has successfully attracted local media coverage of its efforts—in marked contrast to the scant media attention accorded well over a decade of exclusively Native efforts to resist authoritarian rule. "Before, they wouldn't even hear what the people had to say," Shimek said. Tribal members pointed out, however, that discrimination in media and government was the best argument for such a joint effort. "They won't address our concerns, but they'll listen to white people. It's racism, and that's why we need each other," Roy said. Although not discussed at the meeting, it seems apparent that non-Natives similarly depend upon the participation of Anishinabeg in the effort to defend against potential accusations of racial motivation. There was broad agreement within the group that the existing tribal agreement needed to be WHITE EARTH to page 7 Lac Vieux Desert Band of Chippewa prevail in Appellate Court: 6th US Court of Appeals sends gambling case back to District Court the City of Detroit. At the time the plan was developed, off-reservation gambling was not allowed in the state of Michigan and the Governor declined to move on the proposal. Not long thereafter, a non-Native group Atwater Entertainment and Greektown Casino also presented a plan for casinos in downtown Detroit and were successful in calling for a referendum that overturned the city's prohibition on casino gambling. Inherent in the new act that allowed casino gambling was the provision that preferential treatment be given to petitioners that helped overturn the ban on Detroit's casino gambling. It was this provision that stirred the Band to action. In February 1997, the Band sought to have the act A report from Detroit by Jean Pagano The Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (the Band) recently prevail on appeal to the 6* US Court of Appeals in Cincinnati over a gambling case filed back in 1997. The Lac Vieux Band claimed that the city of Detroit unfairly granted casino licenses to two of the three casinos in Detroit in the mid 1990s. The US District Court dismissed the tribe's case in 1997, but the tribe appealed and the Court of Appeals has sent the case back to District Court in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Lac Vieux Band currentiy operates a casino in Watersmeet in Gogebic County in the western part ofthe Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In 1994, the Band, along with several of its partners, developed a plan to bring casino gambling to LAC VIEUX to page 7 VOICE OF THE PEOPLE web page: www.press-on.net <vee> Native American Press Ojibwe News We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

The original Fort Sill Mihtary Reservation, comprising 23,040 acres, was created out ofthe Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Reservations by Executive Order in 1871. During that same decade, Apache reservations were created in Arizona and New Mexico. In 1876 the U.S. attempted to move the Chiricahua Apache from their traditional home, to the San Carlos reservation. They refused resettlement. After a decade, they were captured by the U.S. Army and imprisoned in Fort Marion, Florida. In 1887 they were transferred to a prison camp in Alabama, where many of these southwestern desert people died in the alien climate. In 1894, the survivors of Geronimo's band were settled on the Fort Sill Military Reservation in Oklahoma. Their imprisonment ended in 1912, when they were allowed the option of joining the Mescalero Apache Tribe in New Mexico and two-thirds left Oklahoma. Those who remained were allotted. Geronimo was bom in 1829, near the present-day Clifton, Arizona. His wife, mother and children were killed in 1858 in an attack against the Chiricahua, and he subsequently participated in a number of raids against Mexican and U.S. settlers. Geronimo was confined to Fort Sill reservation for fifteen years, and died on February 17,1909. People still leave offerings at his grave on the reservation, including tying scarves to neighboring trees. ■ APACHE INDIAN CEMETERIES Gtaf l*» «f M» War* Spwp «l» &ai fcr fmm 6W Urn, *» ariajwl fcaart tm Clfcf fifttafiw ef Ik CtaeaJMtt: mat tmt mf $**•*» «f Mmjts Gttetate, Victoria, Cotbm, Naek «mt Jak twt.sf attti tut temtt a KtaMxtef, ftatte, K*f*al> toi Martta.

Fort Sill, Oklahoma _" Louise Erdrich wins two Minnesota Book awards Associated Press ST. PAUL—Louise Erdrich won the Minnesota Book Award for best novel Friday night and Robert Bly won for best poetry. Erdrich's book, "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse," is a story of life on a North Dakota Indian reservation told through the memories of a priest who keeps something hidden. Bly's "The Night Abraham Called to the Stars" is a collection of poems that examine art and nature through a complex Middle Eastern verse form. In other awards, Garrison Keillor won the Nature and Minnesota category for "In Search of Lake Wobegon," a collection of essays with photographs by ERDRICH to page 7 Ramsey County judge says 2 Indian bands' gambling audits are nonpublic by Pat Doyle Minneapolis Star Tribune A Ramsey County judge ruled Tuesday that the gambling audits of two Indian groups that own some of Minnesota's biggest casinos should not be made public. District Judge Louise Bjorkman ruled that the audits contain trade secrets that are not public under the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Bjorkman ordered the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, which collected the audits as part of its efforts to regulate gambling, not to release them. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Prairie Island Dakota Tribe sued the Department of Public Safety to prevent release of their casino audits after another state agency issued an opinion that they were public. The Mille Lacs band owns Grand Casino Mille Lacs near Garrison and Grand Casino Hinckley, and the Prairie Island tribe owns Treasure Island Casino in Red Wing. There was no immediate reaction Tuesday from the state on whether it will appeal. "We're reviewing the decision," said Leslie Sandberg, spokeswoman for Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch, whose office represented the Department of Public Safety. The Mille Lacs band and the Prairie Island Dakota argued that releasing the audits would divulge legally protected secrets to potential competitors. In the Ramsey County case, Bjorkman granted summary judgment to the Indian groups, saying, "The number of requests for the data and nature of the requesting parties support the [Indians'] argument about the data's independent economic value."

That's right.
How necessary is it to fock. What happens if man does not fock, or does not fock sufficiently.
Our female english teacher at school told us it's a biological requisite of the male to fock (although, not in them words exactly).
I mean, if you think about it, look at the ends men go to just as a means to fock.
Spending their hard earned cash, which could be spent on fuck knows what else - cars, beer, food and assorted luxuries.
But they spend it on chicks. Wining and dining them, buying them shit so they can get in their pants - hiring hookers, as I do.
So, I think God made man with the obligation to fock, and if he doesn't fullfill that obligation in some way or other - he gets fucked - by going crazy.. right?
I mean, there's very little excuse these days, given internet dating, easy girls, places like thailand and amsterdam.
So anyway, back to the question.
How necessary do you feel is focking, and what is the detriment of not doing it, or not doing it enough?

Macy's Parade Woe: Uproar Over SeaWorld Float
(NEWSER) – What with the considerable hoopla surrounding Blackfish, the recent documentary about the SeaWorld whale that killed a trainer in 2010, perhaps this was not the best year for SeaWorld to decide to have its first-ever float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Animal activists including PETA are protesting the float's inclusion, BuzzFeed reports. The Float, called "Sea of Surprises," commemorates the park's 50th anniversary, and a PETA rep notes, "It shows orcas swimming in a majestic sea alongside their families, and this couldn't be further from the truth. SeaWorld deprives them of all these things. They confine them to concrete tanks and take them away from their families. The picture that this float presents is absurdly false."

State Transferring Management of John Tanner State Park to Carroll County
CARROLLTON, GA, June 21, 2010 ~~ The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will transfer management of John Tanner State Park to Carroll County effective July 1. All park amenities are expected to remain open, including the beach, campground and accommodations.
"Most people know about the budgetary challenges facing Georgia's state parks, so I'm pleased to announce this partnership," said DNR Commissioner Chris Clark. "This is a great example of government agencies working together for the good of our citizens."
John Tanner will continue to be called a State Park until ownership of the land is transferred, which will take many months to complete.
"We want to assure west Georgians that we realize the importance of John Tanner to the community," said State Parks Director Becky Kelley. "Visitors will still be able to camp and enjoy the park's popular beach. The only difference will be the agency managing the park's daily operations."
John Tanner State Park is best known for having the largest sand swimming beach of any Georgia state park. It is a recreational haven for water lovers looking for boating and fishing opportunities as well. Visitors can enjoy camping, picnicking, miniature golf, volleyball and horseshoes. Six motel type units are located near the beach, each with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living area and bedroom. The park is named after a local businessman who operated the property as a private park from 1954 until 1971. To learn more, visit www.GeorgiaStateParks.org.

WATCH: 'Tan Mom' breaks down, says 'people don't understand what they did'
It was a little over a year ago that New Jersey's "Tan Mom" was all over the news, all over the world. Now she's back in the spotlight — and not because of her skin. But because of her singing. Nutley's Patricia Krentcil, better known by most simply as "Tan Mom," recorded a single titled – what else? "It's Tan Mom."

I'm 44 and I guess my journey to menopause has already started.
1. How do I know if the signs and symptoms I'm experiencing are related to menopause?
2. What are the more natural ways in dealing with menopause? I am not a big fan of synthetic meds...
3. I think I have bouts of depression as well although nothing major...How can I deal with the mood changes?
Thank you!
11th December 2013 07:49 AM #2
Dear Raven,
The menopause starts with something called the 'perimenopause'; when women normally notice a change to their periods. A woman can actually have light or heavy periods during this stage and the frequency of your periods can also become either more frequent (e.g. every 2-3 weeks) or less frequent (every 2-3 months). Basically your periods change!
Other symptoms will then come which may include: palpitations, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, headaches, sleeping problems, vaginal dryness and urinary tract infections.
The average age to go through the menopause is actually significantly older than you are at 52, however, some women do unfortunately suffer from the early menopause. This is more likely if your mother also went through the menopause early. Do you think you have been experiencing some of the signs and symptoms of the menopause? Do you know what age your mother went through the menopause?
You have probably heard of HRT which contains an Oestrogen hormone. There are some natural alternatives available. Actually, exercise such as swimming, running or jogging ('high impact exercise') can help women to experience less severe menopause symptoms. You may also find that keeping caffeine to a minimum and reducing your stress levels helps with some of the symptoms.
There is not a huge amount of research on the natural menopause remedies. However, they include evening primrose oil and soy. I would still recommend you checking with your doctor before taking any of these on a medium to long term basis.
I'm sorry to hear about your depression. Remember that you are certainly not alone with this and many, many women and men suffer with depression. The important thing is not to suffer alone but to keep talking about it and ask for lots of help. You can ask for help from: your doctor, support groups, national helplines, family and friends especially if any of them also suffer from depression. I would advise speaking to your doctor about this too.
Again, eating a well-balanced diet and exercising can help with depression. However, it depends on the severity and type of the depression as to what extra help you need as well.
Please do post back anytime and let us know if you need more support/have more questions about this.
Warm wishes,

Report: Tiger Stadium #1 In Intimidation
LSU's Tiger Stadium tops a list of the 15 most intimidating college football stadiums in the country, compiled by the website College Spun.
The staff writer who compiled the list, Andrew Holleran, says he took a lot of things into account.
"The size of the stadium, the noise level, the talent of the team that plays in the stadium, the winning percentage of that program that it has playing at home, and LSU just kind of had the most impressive resume when taking all of those things into account."
Holleran says the one event that helped to put "Death Valley" at the top of the list was the LSU-Auburn game in 1988, known as the "Earthquake Game".
"If a stadium's crowd can be so loud that it causes an earthquake on the campus, I think it's pretty hard for any other stadium to top that," Holleran said.
The second-most intimidating stadium on the list is Penn State, followed by Ohio State, Clemson, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Florida, Oregon, Alabama, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, Georgia's Sanford Stadium and Texas Memorial Stadium.

LONG BEACH — The team bidding to design and build a replacement for the Gerald Desmond Bridge came one step closer to that goal Monday.
The Port of Long Beach Harbor Commission approved a "notice of intent" to award a $649.5 million contract for the project to the joint venture team that includes Shimmick Construction Co. Inc., FCC Construction S.A., Impregilo S.p.A., Arup North America Ltd. and Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc.
Monday's vote is a precursor to the actual awarding of the contract, expected in late June.
"Today is a historic day," said Harbor Commissioner Rich Dines. "I am honored to be here and I am very thrilled that it is the consortium with Shimmick Construction that has come in as the lowest bidder but the highest technical score."
The port, Caltrans, Metro and the U.S. Department of Transportation - which are contributing funds to the project - were part of the months-long process of vetting the three firms bidding on the project.
Dines touted Shimmick's long history with the Port of Long Beach.
"They are a responsible bidder; they're a responsive bidder, and I'm very thrilled that Shimmick is the one winning this contract," Dines said. "And I look forward to seeing this bridge built on time and under budget and creating many thousands of jobs."
Built in the 1960 s, the Gerald Desmond Bridge is a major corridor for the nation's trade system but has been slowly deteriorating as traffic volumes have increased. The project is to help alleviate congestion and increase safety, port officials have said.
Construction for the overall bridge replacement, estimated at about $1 billion, is expected to start in early 2013. Work is expected to last five years and create about 4,000 jobs annually.
The commission has instructed staff to negotiate a project labor agreement.
"It is the city of Long Beach and the surrounding areas that will benefit, not only economically from jobs, but billions of dollars will come to the region because of this new bridge," Dines said. "It's been a long time coming and I look forward to the ground-breaking ceremony in the near, near future."
The heir apparent team boasts several decades of experience.
Shimmick has handled hazardous issues inherent in bridge work and was involved in San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge seismic retrofit.
FCC is a full-service construction company specializing in conventional construction and pre-engineered metal buildings.
Milan-based Impregilo is dedicated to infrastructure, engineering and concessions. It carries out activities in the construction of railroads, hydro plants and highways, as well as waste and water treatment.
Arup North America, a Los Angeles-based company, offers construction and engineering services, including bridge and building design.
Based in San Jose, Biggs Cardosa Associates has experience in the structural integrity of buildings and bridges throughout Northern California.
Visit www.newgdbridge.com. for more information.
Helix contract approved
The Harbor Commission also voted 3-1 Monday to support a $25.2 million contract with the San Diego-based Helix Electric Inc., despite concerns from union and city officials about the firm's work.
Helix will be doing work on a shore-to-ship power retrofit project to create facilities to allow ships to plug in to dockside electrical power and avoid running their engines and generating pollution.
The decision comes after a two-month delay to address community concerns about the company's safety record, employee treatment and shoddy work on a project that it handled at Pier T.
However, after reviewing the complaints, the commission affirmed that Helix was a responsible bidder and awarded the contract.

Gas - flatulenceFlatulence; Flatus
Gas is air in the intestine that is passed through the rectum. Air that moves from the digestive tract through the mouth is called belching.
Gas is also called flatus or flatulence .
Gas is normally formed in the intestines your body digests food.
Gas can make you feel bloated.It cancausecrampy or colicky pains in your belly. See: Abdominal pain.
Gas can be caused by certain foods you eat.You may have gas if you:
- Eat foods that are difficult to digest, such as fiber. Sometimes, adding more fiber into your diet can cause temporary gas. Wait a little bit. Your body may adjust and stop producing gas.

My Ride: 03 Ti Silver M3
Lime Rock Park Track Day
Welcome to the second installation of my Lime Rock Park track day. Not only was this track event the first in the 2005 season for the Boston BMWCCA it was also my first track event, exciting for me to say the least! To get an idea of the spring preparation that went into getting my car ready, read the preview article here
With my car ready to good I could hardly sleep the night before. Lime Rock Park is located in Connecticut about three hours drive from Boston, MA. The plan was to meet up with a member of E46Fanatics.com and caravan effortlessly to Lime Rock the day before the event. Unfortunately hopes of an easy drive were dashed with rain, lots of rain.
Not only was it raining the entire way to Connecticut, it rained all night and right through the start of the track day. The weather clearly has little concern for how I was feeling about my first track day starting wet and cold.
First thing in the morning I got my car tech inspected, and with the upgrades thanks to Velocity Motoring, Toyo Tires and Bimmerworld my car passed with flying colors. I think the tech inspector was especially pleased that I had brand new fluid as the guy in front of me seemed unaware that his car had brake fluid and less idea of when it was replaced, if ever.
After tech inspection the drivers meeting gives you a run down on the days events and schedule. Numerous mention of the wet weather assured me that my first "hot" run would be anything but. My dreams of instant speed racer were further dashed when one of the instructors spun off the track causing some moderate car body damage, but thankfully no one was harmed.
After two classroom sessions that helped to calm my nerves it was finally the novice group time on the track. I found my very friendly instructor and we got flagged onto the track. The first lap was a slower loop around to survey the track. What we saw was a moderately flooded main straight and a small river running on the back straight (no name), not what I wanted to see. All the same my instructor was right there and after a couple laps I was holding my own. Just as I was starting to get the hang of things my 20 minute session on the track was over and we pulled into the pits. My first session helped to calm my nerves about the wet and left me counting the minutes until the second session.
The second run was about the same as the first with a bump in the speed. The real fun started on the third time out in the early afternoon. About lunch time the sun had peeked out and started to dry the track. The first two runs were focused on getting around the track safely using the "wet line". The wet line is the fastest way around the track in wet conditions and, for me is more difficult to drive. With the track dry we got to try the dry line, what a difference! The first two sessions had been fun, but this was nothing short of amazing.
By the forth run using the dry line I was getting comfortable going into the downhill without braking and exiting onto the main straight over 70 MPH, what a rush! By no means was I setting any track records but each lap was an improvement on the last. With each corner my understanding of the driving line increased which of course helped the speed I was driving increase as well. The highlight of my day was blowing past an E46 M3 as I rocketed out of the corner onto the straight. Even with the M3's additional horsepower my corner exit speed gave me an edge that he could not make up.
Too quickly my forth and final session was over and it was time to hit the road. The entire ride home all I could think of was what I had learned and when I could get back on the track!
Once I was home I did a quick once over on all my new upgrades. With the rain my brakes didn't see the normal temperatures so the new Hawk pads and fluid showed limited signs of usage. The tires were is great shape and held fantastically on the track. I quickly sprayed the brake dust off the Velocity Motoring CSL wheels and found their finish and overall condition to be flawless. The track surface at lime rock is not uniform and the wheels took a beating and came out strong. They also look amazing in the pictures!
If you have any interest in tracking your car I highly suggest you do it now. The smile on my face was nothing but ear-to-ear! It is simply not possible to convey the experience on the track other than saying it is amazing. If you are interested in your first track day experience, take a minute to contact your local BMW CCA chapter to find out what they are offering. If you are in the New England area perhaps I will see you at an upcoming event!
I would like to thank the following people and companies for making my first track day an incredibly fun time:
Velocity Motoring - For the great CSL wheels.
Bimmerworld - Continued great service and the Hawk HP+ pads and ATE brake fluid.
Bim Growl - Caravanning to Connecticut with me and setting up the accommodations. See his thread on the event here
Boston Chapter BMW CCA - Thanks for putting on a great event!<
Candace - My friendly track day instructor.
John - My BMW CCA track day mentor.
Toyo Tires - For the sticky Toyo T1-S Tires.
TrackTime Photos - For the professional track photos. TrackTime Photos attends club events at Lime Rock, NHIS and Summit Point, WV. Visit them on the web at www.tracktimephotos.com.

One: The Event - Make the Shift on 9/11/11
September 7, 2011
Inspired by the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and the passion of Seattle Fire Fighter Erik Lawyer, we invite you to participate in ONE: The Event. With more than 3 million people around the world, we will make a collective shift by choosing love over fear, kindness over anger, and responsibility rather than blame.
In remembrance of the tragedies of September 11th and the wars that followed, we will honor all those senselessly lost by rebuilding our relationships with love and kindness, and celebrate our global unity.
You, your friends and loved ones are all invited to join us online, or at our hub event in Seattle on 9/11, or at one of our satellite events across the world to help us launch a movement ending our cycle of fear and disempowerment, and step into our collective power of ONE. Now and forever!
Since it is up to each of us to make this shift, as part of our campaign, we ask you to make your own fearless declaration stated as "I AM THE ONE WHO..." through your online submissions and communications of videos, photographs, tweets and blogs. (Examples: "I am the ONE who will choose love over fear in my life" or "I am the ONE who will end hunger in Africa" or "I am the ONE who will make people smile every chance I get.)
Through our individual and collective expressions, on the day most associated with fear and hate, we can shift this to the most powerful day of love and unity. Help us turn one of Humanity"s Darkest Days into its Brightest. WE ARE ONE!
To catalyze this movement and join millions, we invite you to participate in the following simple ways:
1) SIGN UP -- Sign our online pledge list or "Like" our Facebook page and commit to "sharing love" on September 11. We will notify you with instructions on how to participate online through our global webcast of ONE: The Moment, if you so choose.
2) HOST or ATTEND an EVENT in remembrance of this day in your community or home on September 11 to celebrate the power of ONE. We"ll send you an event organizer"s guide to provide you with resources, connect you with partners in your community and help you promote your event on our website.
3) Purchase a ONE: The Event product or make a generous DONATION to support ONE: The Event and your favorite local charity who is partnering with us.
4) PRACTICE RANDOM ACTS OF LOVE and kindness, and perhaps even forgiveness every day of your life.

Amarilis - from Toa Baja, Puerto Rico
No problem! Add a little almond extract to your cookie dough. Remember that it has a very strong flavor, so you will use lessalmond extract than you would vanilla extract. If your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, keep that in the recipe and also add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of almond extract, depending on how strongly flavored you want your cookies to be.

Anybody tried new ra2860 driver?
Does it inject?
I'm trying to manually insert it, as show in Vladsmail post
which gives :Code:# activate 901_net_gfx.lzm
(Obviously, I have tried re-downloading it, as well as trying to install it from different media/filesystems,etc.)Code:Cannot read module data. corrupted download? error inserting module to live filesystem
This could potentially explain why so many people are having trouble inserting the module after editing syslinux.cfg
Hi Dreamlocked,
I did test the module after upload, and have had a bunch of PMs from people who successfully got it installed on the 901 or other similar machines, so I'm at a loss as to why you are having problems.
(edit) Did some research on this - there appears to be a bug in the BT3 linux live scripts that prevent you using activate / uselivemod - essentially the muount command which gets executed on the module does not understand that the file system is squashfs so the command fails. you will get the same error trying to mount any squashfs module at runtime. Check your dmesg log after you try to activate the module to see the errors...
Fix details for this are here:
Alternatively, you can just unpack the module into root with "lzmtodir MODULENAME /". If you have persistent changes you should then reboot and be fine. Alternatively just include the module at boot using syslinux.cfg... this definitely works.
All the syslinux problems I've seen posted so far seem to be simple errors in the boot command line, or from running xconf before starting the GUI, which blows away the necessary modified xorg.conf
Have you tried actually unpacking the module to get the files inside? I don't know that much about how modules are loaded at runtime - can they include drivers and such?
I finally have some time to work on this some more - I'm going to add some more drivers and also update the kernel, and then hopefully post another module.
this works on the new series of the aspire one models namned 531 (731), changes from previous aspire one models is 10,1" led panel, 6-7 hour battery life and slimmer.
as in post #11 drop the 901_net_gfx.lzm in /BT3/optional and edited the syslinux.cfg to look like this and you will have full 1024x600 desktop.
LABEL pchanges
MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode with Persistent Changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x311 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw changes=/dev/sdb2 load=901_net_gfx autoexec=kdm
LABEL xconf1
MENU LABEL BT3 aspire one without Persistent Changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=785 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw load=901_net_gfx autoexec=kdm
before this fix I had to use "fixvesa" at startup and then it was only at 800x600.
I've been using your 901 Driver Package and it works great, except VGA Output which doesn't work at all. I did dump your xorg.conf there and rebooted the pc serval times, had also the analog Input of the Monitor Connected, but still... as soon as KDM loads, I don't see any picture anymore. And Iegdgui also tells me I only got one Monitor, SecondDisplay is grey...
Could someone help me out please?

With great food and friends, participants in the Mount Saint
Mary College chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) had much to
be thankful for.
The college's food service provider, Sodexo, recently served a
traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings for 16
"Littles" and 27 "Bigs."
"Our club wanted to give the 'Littles' a Thanksgiving
celebration that they would remember," explained president Kailyn
Zanella of West Islip, NY. "We had a wonderful time saying thanks
and breaking bread with one another."
The children will be spending Thanksgiving with their families,
but the dinner gave them a chance to enjoy the holiday with their
BBBS family as well. Through six get-togethers over the semester,
the "Littles" form a lasting bond with their Mount "Bigs,"
explained Zanella.
The BBBS volunteer mentor program is both rewarding and
heart-warming as college students invest their time with
underprivileged children. Serving as mentors and role models,
members experience the power of friendship that stems from the
connection they make.
Mount Big Brothers and Big Sisters in attendance, including
Zanella: Samantha Popel of Milford, CT; Anna Salvatore of East
Lyme, CT; Maggie Jones of Hyde Park, NY; Jeanine Verderosa of
Lindenhurst, NY; Fae Kuhnen of Bayside, NY; Victoria Renna of

Two Cameras Mean Total Video Coverage
The Dual View HD Car Cam records high resolution video in any lighting. Two cameras, both with wide angle lenses exceeding 120 degree fields of view, record simultaneously, allowing you to get a complete picture of everything that happened both inside and outside your vehicle.
Capture video with audio to monitor employees or family members behind the wheel -- or to use as evidence in case of an accident. A forward-facing camera tells you how an accident happened. A rear-facing dash cam gives you a view of the vehicle's interior to tell you why it happened. It's also great when you want to capture all the action on a road trip or family outing.
This durable car camera even features a GPS logger and a G-Sensor to mark location and trigger recording if someone breaks into or steals your car.
Why the Dual View Car Cam?
Pivoting lenses allow you to capture video in two directions
Powered by your vehicle; built-in battery provides backup power
Play back video with audio directly on the large color LCD screen
GPS and G-Sensors auto save files in case of an accident, protecting important files
All video is stored to a micro SD card, allowing you to play back video directly on the Dual View's integrated LCD screen or on your PC. You can even connect the device directly to yourmonitor with the included cables to view your footage.

It's been accepted!
Thank you people for your support! The wiki has now been made! Please submit your Naruto work and help make this a fun Naruto Fanon site! --Dubtiger 00:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- I thought it was supposed to be something like a repository for Naruto OCs, and I could've migrated one of my own wikis (PBwiki based now with 100+ articles) content there, but you basically killed the idea by adding the rules on the front page.
- The first rule already says that characters cannot clash with one another. That's the heaviest limitation for a fanon wikia that I can ever imagine! There are thousands and thousands people drawing fanart, writing fanfiction a<option></option>nd role-playing in and about Naruto world, and they all are potential contributors to your Wikia. How many do you think are able to describe their OC so that they are consistent with one another and completely independent? One? Two? I'd say ten at most. Ten in the world.
- The second rule states that some of the characters are reserved for admins. I didn't understand which exactly (you say "canonic kages, including akatsuki and jinchuuriki" which is most probably not what you meant), but it makes the whole Wikia somewhat of a private property with big NO TRESSPASSING sign all over it. For example, how can I describe my OC if he's from 40 years after the current manga events if I can't say which character is hokage at the moment? Asking explicit permission from the admin every time you want to contribute sucks.
- Given this, I can't even think of what can fill up that Wikia (except for your own content, but then again you state "do not expect many articles in the first months", meaning you are no planning to contribute). I'm really disappointed. --Radaghast 14:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. First, owner of the wikia is allowed to make whatever rules they want. I wasn't too happy about the change from Japanese syle names to the English style names here but that's not why I left, I just became too busy for the wikia and didn't think that my few contrubutions were worth much. I still work as The Greeting Team but otherwise I don't do much here. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. Second, it makes sence. You don't want to be role playing as the daughter of Naruto and Hinata and then incounter a son of Naruto and Sakura. That would be a problem. I have a few (4) of my charecters and whille only one has the chance to be excepted, I don't mind. That's his rules.
- Third, I have my own RP site and it makes sence to be excepted because otherwise there might be a bunch of Hokages running about. Maybe Dubitiger is being strict but it works.
- Fourth, I have my own [1]charecter that I'm contributing information about. I've changed some of the information about her to fit the rules of the wikia but I don't mind. Also, in the first few months only the creator of the wikia contributes. For example, my [2] wikia, Astrology Wiki] bearly has lots of information and I'm the only main contributer. I don't know why I'm telling you all this but I think that I should at least give you MY opion on what you said. I'm not telling you to go contribute...I'm just telling you what I think. LoneWolf 5 20:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
- Duude, don't take it too personally! And for God's sake, it's "contrIbutions", "Encounter", "charActer", "opiNIon", "while" (one L), "ACcepted" (not EXcepted), "bAREly" (not bEARly)... I'm not a native English speaker myself, but there're limits when it gets hard to understand what you are saying at all. Use a spellchecker! All right, in numbers then, as you wish:
- First, is it really a Wikia for role-playing? I thought it is for Naruto Fanon. If it's for role-playing, it is breaking the rules for creating a Wikia, and when Angela or any other staff member finds it out, it will be closed and deleted. One of the main ideas behind a Wikia is a community, and a wiki for one RP game does not have that, and will never have. Believe me, I have almost a decade experience in rpg, I know how many people you can combine into one project, and that won't make a community big enough for a Wikia. You can go to Wikidot or PBwiki, they don't have that limitation.
- Second, I wasn't talking about what the Wikia owner can or cannot do, I was talking about the project not being viable with the rules Dubtiger set. But if we touch that topic, there are certain limitations on the rules (like having a community, not degrading to a list of links, correct license status, etc) that even the owner cannot break --- we all are, in fact, just using the service provided by the Wikia, Inc. And I'm not sure they will be happy to hear that NF Wikia requires pre-moderating of submitted content. After all, as you have said it yourself, one man cannot make up a wiki. Besides, it contradicts the original proposal ("this wiki pretty much lets users add whatever fan-made information they want, as long as it makes sense").
- Third, I already know how hard it is to maintain a Wikia with not enough contributors: I'm a sysop and the only major contributor at two Wikias here and four wikis elsewhere, not mentioning my hundreds of edits for Dragon Ball Wikia, Wikipedia and similar projects. But that only proves my point: without a community and with rules explicitly stopping a community from forming that Wikia is as good as dead.
- There are a lot of dead Wikias out there, either born dead or deteriorated to be put for adoption, but the reason I'm saying all this about NF is because I care. I could've used it myself, and I can see tons of possibilities for it to grow and prosper. That's not gonna happen, and that's what makes me sad about it. --Radaghast 21:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry...I didn't mean to sound rude and I'm sorry that I'm a horrible speller that doesn't take the time to check my mistakes despite the fact that I know that I will make them. I'm just lazy like that. That is also why I don't know alot about wikia. So I didn't know the think about not being able to RP. Sorry about that. I understand your views, I was just giving my own opinion to the topic. Apparently, my opinion was not fully developed and therefore, I'll back off. LoneWolf 5 19:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
- Hey, Radaghast. I know that some stuff is really harsh on your hopes on the wikia. Remember it is a NEW wikia, so the rules are not 100% refined and put to stone. I'm trying to bend my own rules to make it more flexable for those who want to make a page for a character, just to show him/her to the world, and one who wants to introduce a character and have it interact with others. I'll have your thoughts in mind as I continue to fix up the holes in the fanon. If you talk to me about a major problem between yourself and the rules, I will definitely look into it and try to help you around my own rules, as long as they are reasonable. I'll answer some of your complaints here.
- The clashing of characters rule is so that people would not start arguing with each other about their page being better, and soon catching the notice of the wikia staff. Then the fanon can be at risk of closure for its point being lost. I can add a portion to make that rule more flexable to your own benefit.
- The whole "characters you cannot have" are stuff like the Hokage, Akatsuki Leader, Kazekage, etc. That is so that people would not frequently have same kages, such as two Hokages. That would not work out smoothly. Everyone tossing in jinchuuriki would not be fun, since then people would be using outrageously powerful techniques and having excuses to commit actions other people would hate a lot. This rule is the shakiest I have, and I am working on revisions of it right now. I probably did not make this clear, but characters that are to be used in role plays have to be acknowledged by an administrator.
- "Do not expect many articles in the first few months" means that I do not expect the wikia to be filled up with 100+ articles for a couple months, given the exposure it is getting to the outside world. Even if I add every single OC and custom technique, weaponry, etc... to the wikia, I would have only about 20 articles. For an encyclopedia, that is not a lot.
- Hopefully I answered the reasoning I have for the rules I put. Tell your friends about the fanon, and have them critique my rules, and then I can make revisions to my rules to make it more community friendly. I hope you understand my method of thinking for the fanon. Thank you for speaking out about the flaws of my fanon rules. I hope you will contribute to Naruto Fanon in the future. --Dubtiger 12:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for joining the conversation! I've already replied at my talk page, since that was the place where I saw it first and also a place where I can easily notice updates.
- PS: I added colons to your text so that it's clear what is said by whom, sorry about editing your stuff... --Radaghast 11:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

E-books and reading on phones, tablets, and computers has transformed reading. As one author has said, the "sweet spot" was hit. The devices are generally big enough for detailed, legible type, but small enough to be carried in a pocket or backpack or just in your hand.
Another reading revolution occurred just 75 years ago….the "pocket book." Small books, about 4 by 6 inches and priced at 25¢ were introduced. Their introduction into the market changed who could read and where; books were also more readily available for purchase….not just in the few bookstores in big cities, but grocery and drug stores and even airports. Within just two years, 17 million books in this new format had been sold.
Not surprisingly, the biggest sellers were mysteries, westerns, and "thinly veiled smut" or a "flood of trash" as critics labeled it. This small format launched gritty detective stories and science fiction.
The paperback format changed the reading habits of the nation, much like the introduction of e-books. The choices are many; I'm pleased we can offer good reading in all formats…hardcovers, paperbacks, and e-books.

text: I don't know if it's ok to copy & paste w/o his permission, plus he tends to put them up here--so hopefully he will with these. However, in the meantime, I'd STRONGLY recommend going over to his blog & read his wrapup of week one. He has extensive discussions of both offense & defense that are far superior to anything the MSM have put out. (I'm wondering if Parcells will be putting him on staff soon! He'd make a great scout.) http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/ ------------- DEFENSE By Grizz Posted on Sun Aug 06, 2006 at 08:09:12 PM EST </I> Earlier today I did my one week review of the Dallas Cowboys offense at training camp. This is the second part of the series where I'll focus on the defense. I'll offer the same disclaimer that I did in the first post; it's still early in training camp and a lot of things can change from practice to practice. But this is as accurate an assessment that I can give you at this point in time. Defense DL The injury of Marcus Spears is a shame. I really wanted to see him in action and measure his performance against the other players and his improvement over last year. But if you want to look for a silver lining, it's the play of Jay Ratliff filling in on the 1st unit. For the first couple of days after Spears' injury, Kenyon Coleman was lining up with the 1st team, but Ratliff's play was so good it was only a matter of time until he was elevated to the starter. If Spears returns healthy, Kenyon Coleman may get caught in a numbers game, which is too bad, because he hasn't had a bad camp, but just hasn't matched Ratliff's good work. Over on the other side, forget about it, Chris Canty has been sensational. We all know how big he is, but his athleticism has been what really stood out for me. Backing him up, 3rd-round pick Jason Hatcher has flashed some real potential, but has also showed that he's a rookie with a long way to go. Admittedly, I knew nothing about him before the draft, and I panned the pick initially; well, I was wrong, the kid has potential. In the middle Jason Ferguson has been steady, but only a few times have I seen him be truly disruptive. For the most part, he has done the job required by a 3-4 NT; take on the double-team and hold your ground. Behind him, Thomas Johnson has had some good practices, but not consistently. Rookie Montavious Stanley has been a "no-show" so far and better pick up his play soon or he could be on the outside looking in. LB Talk about an embarrassment of riches, this is definitely the position that is most fun to watch in practice. DeMarcus Ware has looked fantastic in camp, disrupting plays all over the field and getting his share of sacks. Kevin Burnett has been a star so far in camp behind Ware, showing no ill-effects of his ACL surgery. He's quick - although occasionally he will over-run a play - but overall Cowboys fans should be thrilled with his progress. He's also getting time in the middle in the nickel defense. Greg Ellis has displaced Al Singleton on the strong side, spending most of the first week running with the 1st team. The results have been mixed but encouraging. Ellis stills struggles in coverage, Jason Witten and Anthony Fasano have beat him on a regular basis in 11-on-11 drills, but it does look like he's improving in this area over the past couple of practices. He still knows how to get to the QB, as witnessed in the scrimmage yesterday. It's hard to predict how this will turn out, but Ellis is making every effort to make it work. Luckily, we have experience behind him in Al Singleton, who has been steady in camp so far. In the middle Bradie James has been fine, he looks as good as he did last year. Akin Ayodele hasn't been especially noticeable in camp so far. I admit I haven't watched him as closely as some other players, so it would be unfair of me to say his performance has been sub-par, but I've noticed his name hasn't shown up that often in my notes. I'll make an effort to evaluate him more this week. Bobby Carpenter looked a little tentative to start camp, he was working on the outside with the 3rd team early in camp, but really seemed to blossom over the last couple of days while working with the 2nd team on the inside (WILB). He had a very good scrimmage and now that he's getting more comfortable, this week we might really see him shine. The question is whether Parcells plans to keep him on the inside or does he just want him to get used to both the inside and outside positions. Ryan Fowler has secured the 2nd team spot (SILB), and combining him with Carpenter has moved Scott Shanle to the 3rd unit. One guy who seems to be very active on the field is Rocky Boiman. He doesn't seem to do just one thing well, but is sort of a jack-of-all-trades. You constantly see him around the ball when he's on the field. His reputation is as a special teams ace, so I think there's a good chance he'll be on the final roster. Dark-horse linebacker candidate: Junior Glymph. The guy has made a ton of plays in the first week of training camp, but the numbers work against him. DB Terence Newman and Anthony Henry need no review. They play in practice just like you'd expect, and Newman is just on a different level from anybody else. Jacques Reeves is a guy who's caught my eye in camp, not because he's been exceptional but because he's been solid, and frankly, I didn't have that high of an opinion of him coming into camp. Aaron Glenn has been beaten a few times long in camp, so I'm a little worried that he may be slowing down a bit. I don't want to make too much out of this, but it is something to keep an eye on. Roy Williams doesn't get to show his best stuff in camp because they haven't allowed full-contact, except on rare occasions. But he and Keith Davis haven't been beaten that often deep down the middle in 11-on-11 drills, but I can tell you there were some open receivers, but the passes have been off target. Justin Beriault was looking pretty smooth his first few days of camp and had me excited about his future. Then he suffered the concussion and we haven't seen him since. Parcells also said he had some concern about his knee, so at this point - and I stress only at this point - he is squarely on the roster bubble. Willie Pile has been steady in camp working with the 2nd team, but has actually spent most of his time at SS once Beriault went down, this to accommodate FS Pat Watkins on the 2nd team. Pat Watkins has been another star in camp. He has great instincts, when he sees a pass he makes a quick break on the ball and usually gets there. And when he gets there he has the hands to hold on to the interception. He's also flashed his leaping ability on occasion that makes your eyes open wide. I don't know if he'll crack the starting line-up this year or not, but he has that kind of ability from what I've seen so far in camp. The Cowboys got a steal with this kid. As for the rest of the secondary, the only other two guys who have been noticeable are Abram Elam and Lenny Williams. Elam has actually been kind of impressive out on the 3rd string and I wouldn't mind seeing him stick around for a while. Lenny Williams is also interesting, though I admit he's been cooked on occasion, he also has made a few plays. Possible practice squad material. You guys are probably saying, "What about Marcus Coleman"? I have no idea. He was working on the 3rd unit at CB until Beriault got hurt; now he's working with the 3rd unit at safety. He had one good play where he made a diving INT, but other than that I haven't seen him do much. So here are my thoughts, and they are polar opposites; either Parcells knows what he's got in Coleman and isn't worried about working him against the better players, or he's happy with some of the younger guys in the secondary and Coleman is just filling out the training camp roster until the cuts. You decide. Once again, if I missed somebody you're interested in, ask me in the comments and I'll do my best to answer. I didn't bother with the kickers, but quickly for completeness sake, McBriar has had some great kicks in camp, Suisham looks pretty good except for one day, Vanderjagt's struggles have been chronicled, but he looked good in the scrimmage. OFFENSE By Grizz Posted on Sun Aug 06, 2006 at 03:07:44 PM EST </I> It's been a heck of a week out here in Oxnard, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The weather truly is marvelous and the Cowboys training camp affords the fan an opportunity to witness our heroes up close. Truly a wonderful experience. I've been to every practice - 12 so far by my count - and you guys have been reading my very dry, technical transcripts of what I've seen. I hope you've enjoyed them. But since it's Sunday and it's an off-day for the team, I decided now would be a good time to write my opinions and thoughts on the team and the players. I'm starting with the offense and then will move to the defense in a second post later today. Keep in my mind that this is only one week into practice, so by next Sunday I could be singing a whole different tune on some of these players. Offense QB I might as well start with the position that seems to get the most heated debate in the Cowboys world, the QB. Not specifically Drew Bledsoe, but the back-up QB situation which can ignite the fires of impassioned fans. So let me dismiss the Bledsoe review quickly: It's true he's had an uneven camp so far, but after a decade plus of watching the guy lead NFL teams, I'm confident that by season's start he will be in fine form. Now for the Romo vs. Henson debate. Going into camp I was unsure about both. Readers of my blog know that I said after watching Henson in NFLE I thought he had a chance to push Romo for the #2 spot in training camp. Now that I've watched both in person for a week, I'm not sure that he will, but that's only because I've seen Romo now, whereas before he was pretty much a mystery to me. My take on Romo is that he makes his reads quicker and gets the ball out quicker than Henson, and he also seems to hit the receivers in a better position (i.e. the hands) while Henson makes his receivers work a little more to catch the ball. Henson, on the other hand, is pretty mobile and makes the better throws on the run, during roll-outs and bootlegs. Romo is a more consistent QB on a day to day basis while Henson can be really good one day and really bad the next. In the final analysis, I'm still not sure either is ready to lead the team for an extended time period. But I do think Romo is ahead of Henson right now, not in physical talent, but just in running the offense and being a steady performer. RB Julius Jones and Marion Barber are not that far apart in terms of being 1st team material. Barber is more versatile, no surprise there, and in RB vs. LB coverage drills he consistently runs excellent routes and shows great hands. Julius doesn't do too badly in those drills either. Julius is the more pure runner and definitely is the home run threat. Parcells is just going to have make time for both on the field. The #3 spot has come down to a battle between Keylon Kincade and Tyson Thompson. Coach Parcells is giving Kincade equal reps with Thompson; my guess is to see what he really has in the kid before making his decision. Kincade has come on strong over the last few days of practice and this is a real battle. Thompson is still lining up as a kickoff returner, so he might get the edge because of special teams. Demetrius Summers has shown some skills in camp, but his reps are limited and I can't see him as anything more than a practice squad player this year. OL Ah yes, the offensive line, which has been the subject of much speculation. I didn't know anything about Marc Colombo going into camp, other than what I read about him; that he was first-round talent until he got injured. The first few days I didn't notice anything special about him, until about mid-week when he had a spectacular practice. At the time I thought that Parcells might elevate him to 1st string and sure enough, the next day he was lining up as the 1st string RT. He's been entrenched there ever since and I'm really beginning to believe he might win the starting position over Petitti. Petitti has been shuffled around all over the place during camp. He started on the 1st unit at RT, then was shuffled down to the 3rd unit for a few days before shifting to 1st unit LT the past couple of days. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that Parcells may be settling on Colombo at RT and wants Petitti to be the swing tackle, so he's getting him reps at both left and right tackle. As for Petitti's performance in camp so far, it's been OK but it hasn't made me confident that he's made great leaps from last year. Physically, though, he looks to be in great shape. Flozell Adams in some respects gets a pass for the first week. It's obvious that his knee is not fully healed yet, so we'll just have to wait and see if he rounds into form over the next couple of weeks. He has been getting beat badly by Ware on some speed rushes in drills, so getting Petitti work at LT is a contingency plan in my opinion. Andre Gurode has simply looked better than Al Johnson in practice. It's hard for me to judge the mental aspect of his performance because I can't hear what the coaches are saying to him about his line calls and being in the right place in the protection schemes. But in the physical part of the game, he's clearly outplayed Johnson. I see no reason why he won't start unless there are things he's doing with the mental aspect that are displeasing the coaches. Kyle Kosier and Marco Rivera are going to start at left and right guard. They have not moved from those positions since the first day of practice. Kosier is mobile, I've seen him pull on some plays and he does that nicely, and I haven't seen him get overwhelmed on bull-rushes and the like often. I think he'll be alright. Rivera is looking pretty good; we may be getting the guy we signed back instead of the guy we saw last year. Stephen Peterman and Corey Procter are serviceable, but nothing spectacular. Pat McQuistan, forever known to me as McQ from now on, has done better than I thought, given his status coming into the camp. But at this point of his NFL career, he's a rookie and looks the part. Some days good, some days really bad. Jason Fabini has looked anywhere from average to bad. He's done nothing special, and if he wasn't a veteran who's had a pretty good career and a Parcells Guy, I wouldn't think twice about the possibility of him being cut. But since he is a vet and he's coming off injury, it just might be taking him a little longer to round into form. I think the next week and the pre-season game are going to be critical for him. TE Anthony Fasano is a player. He runs good routes and has the hands to make a difference. They use him a lot in the H-back role, he's often the one who goes in motion and settles into the "FB" role in the backfield. He has a ways to go in his blocking, DeMarcus Ware has been seen abusing him on occasion, but Ware abuses a lot of people. This was a good draft pick for Dallas, and down the road we will love the Witten/Fasano combination. Witten has been Witten in camp, so I won't even bother to discuss him. Lousaka Polite is making a real push to make the roster. In the offseason I kind of wrote him off as a roster casualty, but I'm revising that opinion. He has shown pretty good hands in the passing game, much better than I thought. Parcells has also been lining him up as a tailback at the goal line and in short-yardage situations and he has produced. It would be no surprise to me if he makes the roster, especially since Brett Pierce is done. Another guy who's opened my eyes is Tony Curtis. He consistently shows up in my notes as making catches in 11-on-11 drills. The battle for the 4th TE is fierce right now with Polite, Curtis and Sean Ryan. Since we're running the 2-TE set regularly, is it possible Parcells will keep 5 TE's on the 53-man roster? This is an interesting position to watch. WR Terrell Owens is a Cowboy now, in case you hadn't heard. I'm not even going to waste your time evaluating all that. Terry Glenn is also a Cowboy. Let's just move right into Patrick Crayton. He's having a great camp. You guys probably read my story that had Parcells telling him he's on fire one day in practice, and Crayton saying "I know I am, Coach". Well, it's true; he's had a great camp and is firmly entrenched as the 3rd WR. After that, it gets dicey. Terrance Copper is usually pretty quiet in the practices. I haven't noticed him doing much in the 11-on-11 drills although he did have a couple of catches in the scrimmage. We know that Parcells likes him for his special teams skills but will that be enough for him to make the roster? Skyler Green usually runs with the 3rd unit of WR's in practice, so I don't think Parcells is counting on him to be a WR per se, he's obviously much more interested in his return skills. Since they don't do live returns in practice, I haven't been able to evaluate that part of his game yet. He did make a great TD catch to end the scrimmage yesterday so maybe he wants to make a push with Parcells for some playing time there. Jamaica Rector actually does show up in the 11-on-11 drills and has also been working on punt returns. He's trying to make a case for himself on the roster and stands an outside chance of getting there. I wouldn't bet my money on J.R. Tolver making it and Miles Austin hasn't done enough to make me think he will end up on the roster, either. Yes, I saved Sam Hurd for last. The guy has been a revelation in camp. Even before the two circus catches he made in the scrimmage, he has consistently produced in the training camp practices. The Cowboys have to find a way to keep this guy on the roster. I know it's only one week and we've seen rookies burn brightly for a short time then burn out, but there's something about this kid that says he's going to make it in this league. If he keeps it up this coming week, Parcells is going to have a hard decision about what to do with him. That's it for the offense. If I've left out somebody your interested in just ask me in the comments section and I will tell you what I know. I'll be working on an evaluation of the defense next and hope to have it up in a few hours.

Multiple Summits for MS
We sat down with Ryan Chase, UMB vice president and private banking client manager in Denver, to discuss an organization that's become his personal mission: Multiple Summits 4 Multiple Sclerosis‡.
What is Multiple Summits?
Multiple Summits 4 Multiple Sclerosis (MS4MS) is an annual fundraising event for the Rocky Mountain MS Center‡. Teams can sign up for a day they want to climb a 14er‡. Or you can go it alone and participate as an individual.
When did you get involved?
It all started when I was almost diagnosed with MS in 2006/2007. I saw numerous doctors and eventually was labeled at-risk for MS. I knew I would make the best of it no matter what happened, but the thought of having MS terrified me. The doctors monitored me for one year. In February 2008, I had more tests and the doctors found no progression. The neurologists told me that unless there was any major change in symptoms, I probably didn't have MS. Relieved doesn't even begin to describe how I felt.
But I knew others weren't as lucky. I wanted to get involved with the Rocky Mountain MS Center to make a difference for those who are diagnosed with MS. This wonderful organization is doing some amazing work to educate others about MS and raise money for research to find treatments and hopefully a cure for this debilitating disease. I told them my story and ended up joining the board in 2008.
Then in 2009, I planned to climb Mount Rainier. At first I was only doing it for fun but then I decided to create a fundraising webpage to raise money for the climb. Funding is critical to the work we're doing at the MS Center and I thought a fundraiser like this would help. I ended up raising $2,000 for the MS Center. When I got back from that climb I decided that I wanted to try it on a larger scale. That simple idea has expanded into what MS4MS is today.
How has it evolved since then?
MS4MS was a grassroots effort in the beginning, but we raised $20,000 in the first year alone. We doubled that the second year, collecting $40,000 from 20 teams. By the third year we formed an official MS4MS committee through the Rocky Mountain MS Center. The program really began to grow that year with 22 teams raising $75,000. We also began accepting corporate sponsors.
How many years has UMB participated?
UMB has supported the program now for two years, acting as a corporate sponsor and encouraging Colorado associates to climb a 14er. This year, nine UMB associates raised money and climbed for the event.
Promoting healthy lifestyles in our associates is an important part of UMB's company culture. Supporting and promoting MS4MS is just one of the many ways we do this.

How much money did the event raise this year?
This year the goal was to raise $80,000. We're continuing fundraising efforts until October 31, but we are well on our way and we will most likely surpass our goal. We had 225 people register to climb and currently we have raised a little more than $70,000.
Why is Multiple Summits important to you?
As a board member, I know how critical funding dollars are to help with the continuous effort to support the Rocky Mountain MS Center and how important the research is to find a cure for MS. Our partner doctors need the financial support to continue their efforts in finding a cure and progressive treatments for this disease. MS4MS helps the Rocky Mountain MS Center operate. Having gone through the process of a possible MS diagnosis was extremely eye-opening to me and I am proud of what many committed individuals have accomplished in a short period of time.
