We sat down with Brian Johnson '87 to learn more about what he does at Hamline and to learn why he's stuck around since 1983.
What's your favorite memory of your time at Hamline?
The end of my first year completing the hardest class I ever took at Hamline (Algebra/Trigonometry with Professor Wojciech Komornicki) and going to the End of the Year Party immediately after that final! Also seeing the changes in myself during my four years at Hamline, and the friends I made.
Describe a typical day. What do you enjoy most about your work? What is the most challenging?
When I arrive at work, I check in on what is needed for the day's classes and events, then plan my time depending on what comes up. I always look forward to what the day brings –- both the expected and the unexpected –- and how I can help people find what they need for their classes and events. The greatest satisfaction is when I make a class or event a success; the most challenging part of my work is accommodating very last minute requests.
How has Hamline had an impact on your personal or professional life?
I have lived over half of my life on Hamline's campus! I've had the pleasure of interacting with people who have had a lasting impact on my life and those of other alumni.
What advice do you have for current Hamline students?
Enjoy your time at Hamline! It goes by very fast. I feel extremely lucky to have never left HU, and to enjoy college life since 1983.
What is your proudest accomplishment post Hamline?
Being excited to do what I do each day!
Who was your favorite Hamline professor, and why?
Roger Walker and Matt Olson. Roger Walker gave me a informal oral exam after I did poorly on a written exam, and I have developed a lifelong friendship with Matt Olson.
What's the story with Ibaba?
Ibaba is composed of Religion Professor Mark Berkson, myself and two Hamline alumnae -- Melanie Galloway '10 and Angela DuTremaine '10. We chose our band name, because we practice in the basement of the Bush Library. Ibaba, is the word for basement in Tagalog, an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines. I hope people will come out to The Big Bash in October and see us play.
Hamline Pipers put their education to work in interesting ways. Each month, we profile an undergraduate alumna/us in the current issue of the Piper Posts. Do you have an idea for a profile? Let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Umpire Steve Bucknor returned to Test cricket duty during the opening match between South Africa and Bangladesh here on Friday, his first assignment since he was embroiled in controversy last month.
Bucknor was dropped from officiating in the third Test involving Australia and India in Perth in January following his performance in the second Test in Sydney.
The 61-year-old Jamaican was accused of making several erroneous decisions which went against India, and acting on an official complaint by the Indian board, the International Cricket Council (ICC) sacked him.
The ICC bosses came under flak for the move which some saw as bowing to pressure from the Indian board which had threatened to pull out of the tour.
Bucknor, who has officiated in five successive World Cup finals, has umpired in a record 120 Test matches and 167 one-dayers.
Only David Shepherd of England and Rudi Koertzen of South Africa have umpired in more one-day internationals.
The match referee for the two-Test series here is Sri Lankan Ranjan Madugalle who was flown in as peace broker to Australia in the aftermath of the Sydney row.

NewWave Communications is an Internet Service Provider (ISP) serving 80,000 customers across parts of the South and Midwest. They also offer cable television and phone services.
SEE ALSO: New Wave Cable Phone Service
NewWave was founded in 2003 to provide high speed Internet to rural communities. They currently serve parts of Missouri (where they are headquartered), Illinois, Arkansas and Indiana; they sold their Tennessee and Kentucky services to Time Warner Cable in June 2011.
Since the sale, NewWave Communications has focused on increasing their presence in the remaining states, and in January 2012 they purchased Comcast systems in southern Illinois and northern Indiana, expanding their coverage area.
Stacking Up
NewWave provides respectable high speed Internet, but nothing stunning. Net Index found that NewWave delivers an average download speed of 12.5 Mbps in Missouri and Indiana, and an average speed of 9.9 Mpbs in Illinois. These average speeds place them as the 10th, 15th, and 14th fastest ISPs in each state, respectively.
Not as fast at industry standard Verizon FiOS or other major Internet services from Time Warner, Charter or Comcast, but not bad considering they exclusively serve rural communities, many of which are not covered by the major providers.
NewWave offers a variety of Internet speeds. Standard broadband begins with the Wave 3 package that offers a 3 Mbps download speed. The next two levels, Wave 10 and Wave 15, increase speeds to 10 Mbps and 15 Mbps. Beyond that, heavy Internet users (perhaps gamers, for instance), can set their sights on the ultra-high-speed WarpWave packages that offer either 30 Mbps or 50 Mbps.
As usual for a cable and Internet company, prices vary by location.Taking for example Mt. Carmel, Illinois, Wave 3 costs $33/month when not bundled with TV or a home phone. Every package costs $10 more than the previous, so the fastest-available WarpWave, 50 Mbps, costs $73/month.
Quality Experience
Customers gave NewWave a 2.5 out of 5 for customer satisfaction on the Net Index survey, suggesting that the broadband Internet is solid, with no frills.
NewWave provides nothing over-the-top, but instead specializes in serving a specific market; they provide an ideal experience for customers in rural areas who want speeds that will let them use the Internet as they see fit.

Sarah Silverman Hilariously Explains Voter Suppression Laws, Which Is Not Hilarious At All (NSFW)
As we've previously discussed, voter suppression laws are kind of a big deal — specifically because they impact the poor, people of color, the elderly and students much more than anyone else. And since we — and we're guessing, you — aren't Ms. Moneybucks P. Cashly, we'll likely be disproportionately impacted. That's why we really appreciate this video by Sarah Silverman that directly connects the recent changes in voter ID laws and requirements with voter suppression. Also, we love her shooting guns with her nana. [Move On]

Milan with no Balotelli against Barca is going to be bad. Only hope for milan is that they get first home game.
Balotelli cant play since he played with man city and once you play with a team in the champions league you gotta stick with that team until champions league is overMilan baby, BALOTELLI
Instagram: @joseprizal
im not at all surprised either. not the first time i have seen such piss poor decisions made by european officials. rvp red against barca and the numerous non penalties for chelsea against barca to name a couple, after all it is quite apparent that blatter and platini do not like the english. also questionable decision from saf to leave rooney out.
Match ruined by a shitty refereeing decision. Why am I not surprised?
they are currently playing like a bag of dicks against bayern right nowI think that Real Madrid or Bayern will win the throphy. Barcelona is too weak now to win it.

Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Student Requirements
Student Requirements for Dual Credit
Students who are currently high school seniors and qualified high school juniors (according to Oregon policy) enrolled in public, non-public secondary schools, or a home education program are eligible to participate in dual credit courses.
Students must provide:
- Proof of high school enrollment
- Verification from the state of Oregon of your home schooling status
- A letter from their counselor indicating they are qualified and prepared for college courses
A minimum high school GPA of 3.0 is generally required.
Students should also understand that the amount of work necessary to succeed in dual enrollment courses may be greater than in high school courses. Prior academic performance must indicate an expectation of successful completion of dual enrollment in both high school and college coursework.
Fees for the EOU dual credit program are based upon the current policy for high school students taking on campus courses. For the 2015-16 academic year, the tuition for on campus and online classes is $60 per credit hour. Additional fees may be required for some courses (i.e. lab fees, etc.).

text: I'm in the same boat. Here's what I've looked at if it helps. MarketingSherpa.com, ClickZ.com, and MarketingProfs.com have lots of articles about building mailing lists. You'll get a decent education. Quick summary: whenever you send against your list, be sure to break it into at least two mailings so that you can test subject lines, offers, and the other elements of your email (e.g., From line, copy). Your website should also have a sign up box, if you don't already. You also have to have something of value to offer every time you mail, to avoid being seen as a nuisance. A weblog is one way to generate content regularly that you could bundle into a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly newsletter. You should use double opt-in to help if/when you have to handle spam complaints. On the tool side, if you have not already, check out tools like MojoMail (mojo.skazat.com) and phpList (www.phplist.com). You might also want to look at EzineManager (www.ezinemanager.com) who offer great reporting and free up to 2499 emails a month. On the direct marketing side, in the real world, meat space, you might look at postcard marketing (www.postcardmarketingsecrets.com). It's something different. Vendors like Modern Postcards (www.modernpostcards.com) and Amazing Mail (www.amazingmail.com) have decent lists (about .13/address with some targeting), help you with design, print the cards, and let you use their bulk mail account to get .22/piece mailing cost. Something to consider. You would need to mail at least 3 cards against your list to get a decent response. The website has a good explanation of what it's about if it interests you. The problem with mailing lists is keeping them current. Using an automated tool makes it much easier online than it is offline. In the real world you have to rely on the vendor selling you the names. If you go that route, be sure to ask what the bounce back rate is. It should be no more than 10% bad addresses and the vendor should have a rigorous update policy. Whatever you do, don't buy a million email addresses on a CD for $25. 8-) Tim tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.reachcustomersonline.com -----Original Message----- From: webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael James Pinto Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 12:34 PM To: webproducers-list Subject: [webproducers] Web Design firm marketing Does anyone on this list have any experience buying mailing lists?

Postcards from Detroit Vol II-Paintings from 2008.
This volume is 120 pages with over 200 paintings from 2008, posted on the blog: "Postcards from Detroit" by American Artist Stephen Magsig
The inspiration came from Duane Keiser's innovative A Painting a Day blog, and Julian Merrow-Smith's Postcard from Provence.
Postcards from Detroit is a visual diary of Detroit in paintings. Stephen started painting Detroit 25 years ago, and continues to find inspiration in the place he calls home.
Stephen's larger work can be seen at the George Billis Gallery in NY & LA
Stephen's work is in over twenty corporate and museum collections and in hundreds of private collections.
He lives and works with his artist wife, Janet Hamrick and their two studio cats, Artie and Bella, in Ferndale, Michigan.
About the Creator

I have had more than 25 solo shows and numerous group shows. I currently show with the George Billis Gallery in NY and LA. My work is in over twenty corporate and museum collections and in hundreds of private collections. I live and work with my artist wife, Janet Hamrick and our two studio cats, Artie and Bella, in Ferndale, Michigan. We also have been subletting a painting loft in New York City for the last 15 years.

lizensley Beautiful images....conjuring up beautiful memories of our city! Wish there was a similar collection for the City of Highland Park where I grew up in the 1960's-1970's. Went to Detroit Public Schools K-9 until we moved to the suburbs...Cass Tech. Many memories of Detroit and making new ones now with our daughters as we still work in the city and visit much! Thanks for such a nice 2 book set...will share it with my family who undoubtedly will want their own copies! Best Wishes!

I was looking at my "old" MySpace profile (who does that anymore?!), when I came across a photo I had taken some years back when we were living in Jonesboro, Arkansas. A brand-new Waffle House was being built, and it was getting close to being completed. The sign company contracted put up the signage was in the process of putting the diner's famous name up on the sides of the roof.
Now, to this day, I don't know if this was done on purpose, or they just needed to get the letters up there, and the order didn't matter at this point,. All I know is, when I drove by and saw this, I couldn't stop laughing for nearly 30 minutes! I promise you, this is a photo that I took, and it has not been altered in any way!
So the next time you've got a hankerin' for some scattered/smothered/covered/chopped/chunked hash browns, look for the Wa Houfflese nearest you. And tell 'em Skeeter sent you!
(FYI–the sign was fixed before they opened the diner!)

kris [at] lowtechmagazine [dot] com
What is Low-tech Magazine about?
Low-tech Magazine refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution. A simple, sensible, but nevertheless controversial message; high-tech has become the idol of our society.
Instead, Low-tech Magazine talks about the potential of past and often forgotten knowledge and technologies when it comes to designing a sustainable society. Sometimes, these low-tech solutions could be copied without any changes. More often, interesting possibilities arise when you combine old technology with new knowledge and new materials, or when you apply old concepts and traditional knowledge to modern technology. We also keep an eye on what is happening in the developing world, where resource constraints often lead to inventive, low-tech solutions.
Underlying the common view of a high-tech sustainable society is the belief that we don't have to change our affluent lifestyle. This is not a realistic view, but it sells. However, changing our lifestyle does not mean that we have to go back to the middle ages and give up all modern comforts. A downsized, sustainable industrial civilization is very well possible - and more fun, too!
Low-tech Magazine was founded in November 2007: overview of all articles.
Low-tech Magazine publishes at most 12 well-researched stories per year, and gaps of several months are not unknown. If you subscribe by email, you receive every new article that appears on the blog. Following us can also happen via RSS, Facebook or Twitter. Sister blog No Tech Magazine brings more regular updates.
Who is Low-tech Magazine?
Low-tech Magazine is written by Kris De Decker (Barcelona, Spain). Proofreader is Deva Lee (South Africa/South Korea).
Many people have done more than their share in supporting Low-tech Magazine. Thanks to Adriana Parra (Spain), Sietz Leeflang (The Netherlands), Shameez Joubert (South Africa), Vincent Grosjean (UK), Diego Marmolejo (Spain), Mien De Graeve (Burkina Faso), Katrien Claus (always on the road), Jordi Parra (Spain), Tim Joye (Belgium), Andrea (Italy), Leah Temper (Spain), Heli Mäkinen (Finland), Lloyd Alter (Canada), Matt Hill (USA), Milo Rottinghuis (The Netherlands), my parents. I have forgotten many others but I will add their names when they come to mind.

Sugar Tank
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
I fell in love with this yarn just by touching it and thought that I must have something slinky against my skin. This is the result!
I only made this in my size. The lace pattern repeat is 10 sts and is approximately 1.5 inches.

Charity Cancer Research has found out that two out of three kids want cigarettes to be put out of sight in shops.
It reckons that moving tobacco products away from the tills will make people - especially children - less likely to buy them
So what do you think?
Will hiding cigarettes make a difference? Or do you think just as many people would still buy them?
Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.
"Yes, hiding cigarettes will make a positive difference and as it won't encourage young people to smoke as much as might have when they're on display."
Amy, 12, Bournemouth, England
"Yes, they should be put out of sight because children will get the idea that smoking is cool."
Sara, 12, Birmingham, England
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight as it could stop first time smokers from buying them because they can't see them."
Nini, 12, Scotland
"If smoking is so bad, then why don't the government stop allowing tobacco into our country. I understand that they can't stop people from smuggling it in - but they can at least make an effort? And also, the government knows that it kills so many people, why sell them? And putting them out of sight, won't exactly do a lot because people will still buy them."
Bethany, 14, Southampton, England
"Definitely - there is nothing good about cigarettes so why should they still be available to people?"
Hattie, 12, London, England
"I have asthma so whenever I walk past people who smoke I have to hold my breath because if I breath in any smoke it makes me ill! I think they should be BANNED! It's not good for anyone's health!"
Katie, 11, Greater Manchester, England
"Why should they be hidden - it is a legal product! I hope they won't start hiding all the chocolate, sweets and fatty crisps that newsagents also sell!"
Leon, 12, Essex, England
"Yes, I think cigarettes should be put out of sight so people would forget about them. I also think they should be out of sight as they damage peoples' health!!!"
Sumithra, 11, London, England
"I think it is a good idea as it'll make it harder for under-age smokers to get them and the older smokers might be embarrassed by having to ask."
Harriet, 14, Isle of Wight, England
"They should still be available to those who are addicted to cigarettes. But I think that they should be removed, and stay out of sight!! Those who need cigarettes should go and ask the shopkeeper and they'll be given them! I do think that this method will put smoking out of the youngster's mind - but then again there will still be people around them that smoke!!"
Faeqa, 11, London, England
"Last year, I met our local MP for Milton Keynes. I gave him a letter regarding banning cigarettes, which he gave to Gordon Brown. I then got a letter from parliament saying that they can't do it as people have the choice to smoke. This whole letter business was all part of a project about smoking. It would be good if they could ban cigarettes, but somehow I think they will be here to stay."
Chloe, 11, Milton Keynes, England
"Putting them out of sight is a good idea. The temptation is always staring people in the face, but if they were put out of sight maybe people wouldn't be so tempted. A better idea is to ban them because they put everyone else's health at risk as well as stinking the place out."
Lizzie, 13, England
"No, I don't think they should be out of sight. They don't harm anyone if they see them in the shops. Mostly they're just on the shelves to show how much they cost."
Olivia-Kate, 13, Cambridgeshire, England
"I think they should be out of sight because it damages peoples' health from smoking or second-hand smoking."
Madison, 13, Wales
"Smoking kills, so banning it altogether could be such an improvement to the environment and the society we live in today. It could also stop break-ins, as cigarettes are one of the most valuable items. But just removing them from the eye is an improvement, I guess."
Elisa, 13, Northumberland, England
"I think cigarettes should just be banned altogether. I think they are horrible because they damage your health and cost lots of money. I think the government should do more to stop smoking, like putting the price up and making it harder for people to buy them."
Jasmine, 13, UK
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight because it would be less tempting for people to buy them than when they can see them."
Charlotte, 11, Oxfordshire, England
"I'm not sure if this idea is a good one because people should be able to see what's around them and become educated about the problems with smoking, rather than hiding cigarettes out of sight."
Rachel, 13, Manchester, England
"I want cigarettes out of adults' reach so they can never have another cigarette again. I don't know why people like to have them, it isn't like they do your body any good. I want them out of the shops so people can't touch them at all."
Abigail, 9, West Midlands, England
"Yes they should, because children can see them, they are often illuminated to make them look more inviting."
Braeburn School, 10-11, North Yorkshire, England
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight because my mummy smokes and it stinks. Our car smells like a rotten ashtray."
Caoimhe, 10, Northern Ireland
"It's a brilliant idea to put cigarettes out of sight, and I think it could definitely reduce the amount of people smoking."
Jasmine, 11, London, England
"I think they should ban them everywhere! They stink and they damage everyone else's health as well as your own!"
Laura, 13, England
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight to avoid break-ins. This happened at my local newsagent and they took all the cigarette packets."
Lucy, 11, West Lothian, Scotland
"I think they should be kept out of your sight because if you can see them in shops that might persuade people to buy them."
Sophie, 10, West Yorkshire, England
"I think tobacco products should be banned altogether because even if you have to live with someone who smokes that's bad - because you're inhaling all the smoke!"
Ilham, 10, London, England
"I think they should be put out of sight because loads of people in my school smoke and if cigarettes are in sight they will encourage more people to smoke!"
Marnie, 12, England
"If they put crisps out of sight, would you stop eating them? No. If they put CDs out of sight, would you stop listening to them? No. See my point? It won't make ANY difference at all. Everyone knows what cigarettes are."
Niamh, 12, Sussex, England
"I kind of agree, but I mean if people choose to smoke then it's their choice - no one else's."
Skye, 12, Nottingham, England
"I think that cigarettes should NOT be put on display. Also, if the NHS wants people to stop smoking, then why do shops sell them?"
Jane, 12, London, England
"Smoking kills - so I think they should stop selling them."
James, 9, Lancaster, England
"Smoking displays should not be allowed in any shop/supermarket, because it encourages young adults to start smoking."
Alice, 11, Hampshire, England
"Yes, I think they should be put away because it is encouraging people."
Isabelle, 7, Stockport, England
"I don't think cigarettes should be hidden or banned. It will only make it seem more cool and rebel-like for teenagers. Really, it is the own person's choice if they want to smoke, and it is their own fault if it causes them illness. They should take all responsibility for harm to themselves and others. Given time, smoking will fall out of fashion by common sense. Therefore, hiding cigarettes will not improve the problem, only worsen it."
Hue, 14, North Yorkshire, England
"I think it will help, because if people can't see them then they won't be reminded of them and will be less addicted to them."
Alex, 11, London, England
"Yes, they should be removed. I believe this is the right option because people who are browsing in the shop and see a counter displaying cigarettes might be tempted to try it, and it will severely damage their health."
Darryl, 11, Northern Ireland
"I think they should be increased in price or taken off the shelves."
Toby, 14, London, England
"I don't like cigarettes being on display because it's like advertising them to kids. Also, taking them of the shelf might stop people from starting smoking, because if someone wants to try something new and can't find the cigarettes then they won't bother with them."
Heidi, 13, Brighton, England
"Tobacco is expensive and addictive. It should be illegal."
Ella, 11, Surrey, England
"I think cigarettes should be banned because smoking can lead to cancer!!"
Shabaz, 11, Manchester, England
"I want to ban smoking full stop! It causes way too many deaths and it upsets not only your own life but others around you as well. I know what other kids feel like as my Dad used to smoke."
Anna, 12, Huddersfield, England
"It would be great to ban cigarettes in shops, but the unfortunate truth is that the Government are so greedy that they won't stop it because of the tax that they collect from selling cigarettes. Just like gambling in casinos."
George, 11, Essex, England
"I think that cigarettes should be put out of sight. But, at the end of the day, it isn't our fault that people smoke so I'm quite angry that we (non-smokers) have to sort this out."
Hinna, 12, Surrey, England
"I think smoking should be banned. I don't even know why people do smoke, it just damages them. Whenever I see someone smoking I hold my breath. It's disgusting! Stop selling them in shops!"
Rubie, 11, Watford, England
"They should most definitely, without doubt, be put away out of sight. If it were up to me I'd stop all tobacco being sold and produced at all. Smoking makes my eyes sting and water so I hate being around people while they're smoking. If there were even more smokers it would be even worse."
Eve, 10, Cheshire, England
"If cigarettes are put out of sight there will be less temptation for young people to buy them. Also it may reduce crime in that they could not easily be grabbed across the counter."
Amy, 11, England
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight because they're risking your life."
Yasemin, 9, West Yorkshire, England
"I don't think cigarettes should be put out of sight because then you can't see the prices."
Emily, 12, Manchester, England
"Yes, I agree."
Megan, 8, London, England
"Yes they should, having them on display all the time will just encourage people to buy them!"
Megan, 12, England
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight in shops. I also think that smoking should be illegal!"
Greg, 9, Germany
"I think putting cigarettes out of sight won't make a difference to whether people buy them or not. People who are old enough to buy them are old enough to smoke anyway and they will still know that the shops sell them."
Gina, 14, Gloucestershire, England
"I don't think that cigarettes should be sold at all."
Helen, 10, Wales
"I agree because I hate it and every time I'm walking along the streets there is someone smoking and I have to hold nose because it is so smelly and yucky! People don't listen whenever they are told it damages your health and that really annoys me!"
Rebecca, 12, Northern Ireland
"I think they should be put out of sight in shops. I don't like it when people smoke around kids, I always hold my breath when I walk past smokers."
Aisling, 11, Ireland
"You always see a huge display of tobacco, lighters and cigarettes behind the counter when you walk into a shop. It should be stopped, as it is making smoking look good."
Richard, 10, Kent, England
"Yes, I think it is a fantastic idea to put cigarettes out of the sight of children and it's good for the environment."
Hira, 12, Glasgow, Scotland
"I think they should be taken out of sight because if a teenager sees a packet of cigarettes on the shelf then they might think 'I'm going to try a cigarette'!"
Olivia, 10, Dudley, England
"Yes because if they are out of sight then people will think the shop doesn't sell them and won't buy them!"
Mollie, 10, Liverpool, England
"Yes, because too many people buy them and they're bad for your health."
Aoibh, 9, Ireland
"They should be made illegal."
Hannah, 11, England
"I think cigarettes should be taken off the shelves because the packets says 'Smoking Kills' but nobody pays attention to them."
Megan, 11, Lanarkshire, Scotland
"Cigarettes should be put out of sight."
Zoe, 12, Manchester, England
"I think cigarettes should stop being produced because when you're out if someone is smoking and you accidently breathe it in, then it is really unpleasant."
Calan, 9, Derbyshire, England
"Yes, they should be put out of sight because if they are then people might not start smoking."
Alexander, 11, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
"I think that cigarettes should be out of sight because children won't be encouraged to buy them as much."
Rio, 10, Manchester, England
"Cigarettes should definitely be put out of sight but I still think that kids would want to buy them!"
Emily, 14, London, England
"I think if they move tobacco products it will make most people stop buying them. Cigarettes reek so who would want to buy them anyway!?"
Mary-Anne, 11, Yorkshire, England
"The smell and sight of cigarettes makes me feel sick. Hiding cigarette packets in shops might lower the number of people buying them."
Suzanne, 13, Herts, England
"Tobacco should be banned all together. Or you should have a book where you mark how many packets you buy, so you can only buy one pack a week."
Jackie, 13, Staffordshire, England
"Cigarettes should be definitely be put out of sight if it stops kids under the age limit or adults from smoking."
Louise, 10, Warwickshire, England
"Yes, I think cigarettes should be put out of sight because it will encourage teenagers and other smokers to quit smoking or they won't smoke as often."
Zarah, 12, Nottingham, England
"I think that cigarettes should be completely banned. You should not be allowed to use them around children!"
Will, 12, Gloucester, England
"I think smoking should be banned because it doesn't smell very nice and it is harmful to our bodies."
Jessica, 14, England
"My Aunt smokes and it makes me sad. It doesn't just hurt her but also others! They should be put out sight!!"
Alicia, 9, New York, USA
"Of course they should be put out of sight they are disgusting. They should be banned altogether!"
Lara, 12, Surrey, England
"Yeah they should be out of sight because they stink and they make towns and cities look horrible."
Rachel, 9, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
"What a question! Of course - they should be put in a cell and never see daylight! They are foul things and make the air smell like mouldy cheese!"
Anisah, 10, Edinburgh, Scotland
"I think cigarettes should be put out of sight because people still smoke them even though they can kill you."
Bob, 11, London, England
"Yes they should because they give out disgusting smoke and it could bother people with asthma."
Izzy, 11, Hertfordshire, England
"My father used to smoke until he had a heart attack and since then he has stopped smoking. I think that cigarettes should be out of sight because it will stop young people from buying cigarettes. Also it will stop parents from buying them too, so then their kids won't have to suffer from second-hand smoke."
Carys, 13, Wales
"Of course they should be out of sight, they make everywhere stink!"
Adam, 10, Solihull, England
"I really don't like the smell of cigarettes as it makes me feel really sick. Children whose parents smoke shouldn't have to live with it. It's not fair on us or the environment."
Krishna, 10, London, England
"I think tobacco products should be banned altogether."
Milly, 13, Manchester, England

Empower the Reader
The citation system for Wikipedia is effective because readers know where the information comes from. That means that they are empowered to judge the credibility of the information for themselves.
Recently, CNET contributor, Violet Blue, wrote that a BP representative has been using the "talk page" on the BP Wikipedia article to supply content that editors can use on the Wikipedia page. This representative claims that the text is "verified by various subject matter experts within the company." Subsequently, Wikipedia editors copied-and-pasted this text into the BP article.
Various Wikipedia editors then began discussing the situation because readers of the article had no way of knowing that the content came directly from BP and some editors felt that this undermined the credibility and authenticity of the content.
What's the Role of Large Companies?
In her piece, Violet Blue implies that this is a misuse of Wikipedia. I disagree.
The article suggests that BP was deliberately trying to mislead Wikipedia readers and skirting Wikipedia rules. Certainly, BP could do a few things to improve the situation, but they followed Wikipedia's rules and industry best practices to provide their perspective without directly editing the article.
Wikipedia's goal is to gather information and use the community to validate it. It's the ultimate crowdsourcing experiment. In my opinion, that information should include perspectives from companies, as they have uniquely valuable information.
BP Was Transparent
While many other companies have directly edited their pages without disclosing any relationship at all, BP didn't take this route. Instead, they provided their perspective and left it to the community to decide whether or not to include that perspective in the article.
The BP representative, "Arturo at BP" has been transparent in stating he is a representative of BP and that the content he is posting is official content from the company. He did not directly edit the Wikipedia page, but rather recommended the content and other editors posted it to the page. He did not deliberately mislead the reader. However, confusion about the process has led some readers to believe he did.
Opportunity for Clarity
While I believe that BP was transparent, there are three things they could have done differently to ensure that the readers of the Wikipedia article knew the source of the information. Taking these steps would have ensured from the start that readers knew BP was the source of the content, and would have prevented any ensuing controversy.
1. Publish the statements elsewhere – Wikipedia relies on linking to sources on the web. BP should have published the statements in a blog, news release or other third party site. The community editors could have then included these links as citations to make it clear that the content was from BP.
2. Make the "as is" copy transparent – BP could write the "suggested copy" to be clear that it's from BP so that even if it is copied and pasted "as is," it will still be clear that it's BP's perspective. For example, they could say, "According to BP scientists…"
3. Encourage citations – The BP representative could also have encouraged the editors to use quotations to indicate a direct quote from a BP representative or otherwise encouraged the editors to disclose the information was from a BP representative.
Defending the Brand
Ultimately, having people from within large companies participate in Wikipedia adds value by bringing in expert perspectives, and companies have a right to defend their brands and correct misinformation. Suggesting content through the "talk page" seems to be an effective and transparent way to accomplish both goals.

- Small powdered sugar donuts
- Gummy lifesavers
- Chocolate Chips
- Tube of red frosting or red gel
Use the red frosting gel to draw 5 or 6 lines from the center of the donut to the outer edges to resemble blood-shot eyes. Place the lifesaver over the hole in the center of the donut. Push down gently so the lifesaver can stick to the donut with the frosting holding it all together. Put a little frosting on the bottom of the chocolate chip and put it on top of the lifesaver, using frosting gel as glue.

Ten things I want / need / want to do when I'm done care taking:
1. I want to clean my house. Better yet, I want my house cleaned. I'm keeping up with dishes and laundry and clean sheets every Saturday, but the extra stuff like, you know, vacuuming and dusting and cleaning the bathrooms, is sorely lacking. I'd like to get back on top of all that.
2. I want to get my hair cut, and I'd like a manicure and a pedicure, too. I'm taking pretty good care of my fingers – I'm good at rubbing creme into my fingers while I'm watching movies with mom – but it'd be nice to have a professional job. I miss feeling pretty.
3. I need to clean the inside of my car. Better yet, having my car cleaned for me would be nice. I still have winter-grit in the footwells of my car, and it's starting to really bug me.
4. I'd like to spend some time with my family. It'd be nice to go somewhere, even for an afternoon, where we can just have fun. A day trip to an amusement park or an afternoon spent playing in the sunshine would be nice. I'd like to be able to say "yes" to my children.
5. I'd like to spend some time with my husband. Some quality time. Some just-him-and-me time. He's been nothing but supportive of me, and I feel like I'm just taking; it'd be nice to give some back.
6. I'd like to spend some alone time – some just ME time. I don't know if I need to go away for this time or if I can get it in bits and pieces while my family is off doing something else, but I know I need to just be with me for a while.
7. I want to spend time with my friends. The people who love me have been so wonderful through all of this, and while I recognize that they understand that I can't make time for them, I hate that I can't make time for them. It'd be nice to meet the people I love for lunch, to have them come by the house, to just be together again. I want to hang out with O'Mama again. I'm dying to spend time with the TwoBlueDays.
8. I want to reengage in intellectual pursuit. I've not been writing, reading, talking, analyzing, or thinking the way I used to, and I miss it. JRH commented last week that it's hard to not do the things that make me who I am, and she's absolutely right; even though I don't have the energy or the time right now to do my intellectual exercises, I really feel their absence in my life. I'm ready to be whole again.
9. I want to reengage in my physical exercise. My yoga practice has almost completely stalled. I've not been out walking or biking or anything, and that, combined with my tendency to stress-eat, has had a rather negative affect on my body. I'm looking forward to moving again.
10. I want to go back to work. Not right away, mind you, but at some point. I'm looking forward to seeing my participants at the health club again, and I'm dying to get back into the classroom.

Autodetermination in Microeconomics. A Methodological Case Study on the Theory of Demand
Abstract: My philosophical case study concerns textbook presentations of the theory of demand. Does this theory contain anything more than just a collection of tautologies? In order to determine its empirical content, it must be viewed holistically. But then, the theory implies false factual claims. We can avoid this result by embracing the theory's normative character. The resulting consequences will be illuminated with the new autodetermination thesis recently proposed in the philosophy of physics by Oliver Timmer. Applying his ideas to the theory of demand reveals that the statements of this discipline simultaneously concern both values and acts.

Evidence-Based Economics. Issues and Some Preliminary Answers
Abstract: This paper presents an outline of a methodology of ?evidence-based economics?. The question whether an economic statement is evidence-based must be answered on three different levels. The first level concerns measurement: it asks whether claims made about economic quantities such as inflation, unemployment, growth or poverty are justified by the data and measurement procedures. The second level concerns induction: it asks whether claims made about the relations between economic quantities (such as ?number of babies born predicts growth?, ?change in money causes change in monetary income?, ?non-borrowed reserves can be used to control the interest rate?), are justified by the inference procedures. The third level concerns idealisation: it asks whether the quantities and relations selected are justified by the stated aim of the inquiry. The paper provides a discussion of these three types of investigation and of some solutions that have been offered.

Perfect or Bounded Rationality? Some Facts, Speculations and Proposals
Abstract: Simple game experiments of the reward allocation, dictator and ultimatum type are used to demonstrate that true explanations of social phenomena cannot conceivably be derived in terms of the perfect rationality concept underlying neo-classical economics. We explore in some depth, if speculatively, how experimental game theory might bring us closer to a new synthesis or at least the nucleus of a general theory of games and boundedly rational economic behavior with enhanced explanatory power.

The Problems of Testing Preference Axioms with Revealed Preference Theory
Abstract: In economics, it has often been claimed that testing choice data for violation of certain axioms - particularly if the choice data is observed under laboratory conditions - allows conclusions about the validity of certain preference axioms and the neoclassical maximization hypothesis. In this paper I argue that these conclusions are unfounded. In particular, it is unclear what exactly is tested, and the interpretation of the test results are ambiguous. Further, there are plausible reasons why the postulated choice axioms should not hold. Last, these tests make implicit assumptions about beliefs that further blur the interpretations of the results. The tests therefore say little if anything about the validity of certain preference axioms or the maximization hypothesis.

Social Support among Heterogeneous Partners
Abstract: This paper derives hypotheses on how dyadic social support is affected by heterogeneity of the actors. We distinguish heterogeneity with respect to three parameters. First, the likelihood of needing support; second, the benefits from support relative to the costs for providing support; and, third, time preferences. The hypotheses are based on a game theoretic analysis of an iterated Support Game. We predict that, given homogeneity in two of these parameters, the prospect for mutual support is optimal if actors are homogeneous with respect to the third parameter as well. Second, under heterogeneity with respect to two of the parameters, support is most likely if there is a specific heterogeneous distribution with respect to the other parameter that "compensates" for the original heterogeneity. Third, under weak conditions, the overall optimal condition for mutual support is full homogeneity of the actors.

Date of Defense 2002-03-12 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn complementary response to socio-historisists who discuss the concept of "freedom" in William Wordsworth's poetry as determined from without Ś be it by socio-historical conditions, gender, or imposed ideology Ś I draw from the theory of Nicholas Berdyaev, one of the prominent continental existentialists of the twentieth century, tracing the development of Wordsworth's understanding of freedom towards "genuine liberty" as progressively determined from within. Thus focusing on "existentia" rather than "essentia," I pay particular attention to shaping inner efforts and developing visions of the growing and conscious personality as they are described in The Prelude. Wordsworth hinges his ability to perceive Ś and make perceivable Ś the "external man" upon his own evolving understanding of inner freedom, claiming that his theme is "no other than the very heart of man." In The Prelude, especially of 1850, I find a direct link between the degree of personal freedom gained by the poet and the perfection of the human gestalten he depicts, the connection detailed by this dissertation.
The dissertation offers the following chapters: (1) "Introduction. 'To be young was very heaven:' Two Thinkers Bred by Two Revolutions: Wordsworth and Berdyaev;" (2) "The Human Form and Human Independence in Wordsworth: A Link;" (3) "'Man Ennobled Outwardly Before My Sight;'" (4) ōæUncouth Shapes' and Their Progress from Transgression to Transcendence;" (5) "Wordsworth's Trans-Figuration on Mount Snowdon and 'Genuine Liberty.'"
My conclusion suggests that increasing degree of growing personal independence, gained by the developing poet and, possibly, by his reader, is manifested, on the level of imagery, by way of the perfecting of the human gestalten, from one Spot of Time to another, until the poet himself gets into a position to be seen as "an index of delight." Also, agreeing with Herbert Read (p. 210 of The True Voice of Feeling), I see Wordsworth among the first existentialist poets, a position which my comparison with Berdyaev supports. Visually, in The Prelude, the perfect, sublime, human form signals a shift to and back from transcendence, which equals "genuine liberty."

Development issues
France's development policy is part of a renewed framework which combines the fight against poverty and the three aspects of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. This definition was subject to extensive discussions with all French development actors. It helps to further France's cultural, diplomatic and economic influence and places special emphasis on the Francophonie.
French cooperation policy aims to address four mutually-supportive issues, whose controlled development is important both to France and its partners:
- Promoting peace, stability, human rights and gender equality
- Equity, social justice and human development;
- Sustainable, job-rich economic development
- Protecting the environment and global public goods
Equity social justice and human development
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) helped to mobilize the international community towards universal access to a series of essential social services: food, education, health, drinking water, sanitation, decent housing. Major progress has been made, mostly due to the economic growth of the countries themselves but also as a result of support from the international community. However, we still have to find ways and means of achieving widespread and sustainable progress as many challenges remain.
France recalls the importance of building human capital in the development process and the central aspect of well-being and the rights of individuals within the development objectives.
Sustainable, job-rich economic development
France places economic development at the core of its international solidarity policy and believes that improving infrastructure in the water, energy and transport sectors in particular is an essential tool, as is strengthening regional integration and developing the private sector, particularly SMEs-SMIs and medium-sized firms, firms from the social and solidarity economy (including associations and cooperatives) as well as an efficient and universally-inclusive financial sector.
Green and inclusive growth remains a vital driver for social progress, especially in developing countries. The key is to promote high-quality, job-creating growth based on the right balance between physical, human and natural capital and which does not result in social or ecological dumping. Development policy must therefore encourage the convergence of economic, social and environmental standards, which helps to improve living conditions in developing countries and maintains the economic fabric of countries which already have good social and environmental standards.
Protecting the environment and global public goods
The major contemporary collective issues include limiting global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels to prevent serious climate disruption, combating the erosion of biodiversity, ensuring the protection of natural environments and terrestrial and marine ecosystems, improving protection against health and environmental risks, preventing the emergence and spread of contagious diseases and improving global financial stability. Today, neither the markets nor States are doing enough to protect these global public goods. The investments required to protect them do not solely benefit the investors and do not necessarily yield any commercial profits. It is thus up to the international community to provide governance and innovative financing solutions.
Promoting peace, stability, human rights and gender equality
Freedom and the protection of individuals, as well as the long-term economic and social development of partner countries, can only be achieved by an approach based on recognizing rights and strengthening the rule of law. This is particularly important to France.

Is it Legal to Brew Your Own Beer?
The question of whether or not setting up a home brewery is legal comes up from time to time and may even be one you're asking yourself for your own hobby, or it may be something you've faced from friends and family members. It's sort of sad that anytime someone wants to do something, anything, in their own home they need to think about whether or not they actually need permission from the government to do so.
The short answer is, yes, it is perfectly legal to make your own beer with only minor restrictions. These are designed not so much to restrict you as they are to protect you, and those around you. For example, anyone that wants to sell food products to anyone else needs to follow very strict guidelines about hygiene and the cleanliness of their food preparation facility. The person making the food may resent that, but obviously the person buying the food doesn't! Chances are you yourself take it for granted that you can go into the grocery store or any restaurant, or buy anything edible at a convenience store, and just assume that these things are prepared in a clean and safe environment.
So, if you are thinking about home brew beer as a source of income, then there are a bunch of laws and fees you will need to deal with. Probably more than it's worth, not to mention you will be competing with multi-national companies!
But for the majority of people who make beer or wine in their own home do so as a hobby, just for themselves and to share with friends and family. They have no interest in selling these things and are just looking to pursue a fun and interesting hobby.
If this describes you then, yes, home brew beer is legal with some restrictions. There are limits on how much you can brew; typically that limit is 100 gallons per year per adult in the household with a maximum of 200 gallons per year produced. Your home brew beer can't be sold at all unless you have proper licenses; this means that you can't even charge your friends a dollar to get into a party where you serve your home brew.
No matter what, the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 and this includes the home brew beer products you make yourself. Anyone under that age cannot consume alcohol of any type or even assist you in making it, even if they're your own children and are on your own property.
Lastly, for my sake and the sake of everyone else on the road, please never get behind the wheel of your car after having too much of your home brew, even if you just want to make a short trip.
So as long as you stay within these general guidelines, you should be fine. And if you have any questions or want to be sure of things, don't hesitate to call your local police station or county clerk's office for clarification.
To learn more about home brew beer, visit The Beer Bible and learn first hand how to get the most enjoyment out of your home brewing experience.

We sought to investigate the association between sildenafil use for ED and risk of incident melanoma in the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study (HPFS).

There were no severe adverse events related to hypotension in either study. Symptoms of hypotension were a cause for withdrawal in 2 subjects receiving terazosin and in 4 subjects receiving tamsulosin. Instances of outlier blood pressure values (defined as standing SBP <85 mmHg and/or a decrease from baseline of standing SBP >30 mmHg) were observed in 9/24 subjects receiving tamsulosin and 19/29 receiving terazosin. The incidence of subjects with standing SBP <85 mmHg given vardenafil and terazosin to achieve simultaneous Tmax led to early termination of that arm of the study. In most (7/8) of these subjects, instances of standing SBP <85 mmHg were not associated with symptoms. Among subjects treated with terazosin, outlier values were observed more frequently when vardenafil and terazosin were given to achieve simultaneous Tmax than when dosing was administered to separate Tmax by 6 hours. There were 3 cases of dizziness observed with concomitant administration of terazosin and vardenafil.

Hi everyone,
Just a little curious, I don't have my server up yet, but when it's
ready to go I would need to connect it and make it accessible from the
outside of my network. Is it possible to set this up by IP, or is the
only way to have a DMZ host is a 3rd nic? The problem that I will have
if it can't be done by IP is that, since my whole network is gigabit,
having data to and from the server transferred through the regular PCI
bus on the firewall will be rather damaging to the performance, not to
mention that I would need to replace the current nics in there.
Please help me out,

Beijing (AFP) Nov 09, 2013
China's ruling Communist Party began a key meeting Saturday to dictate the direction of the world's second-biggest economy for the next decade.
The official Xinhua news agency said the gathering of the party Central Committee would discuss a draft document on "major issues concerning comprehensively deepening reforms" in the Chinese economy, a key driver of regional and global growth.
The meeting, known as the Third Plenum and which takes place amid intense security and secrecy, has traditionally set the economic tone for a new government, and past meetings have been used to signal far-reaching changes
Recent reports in party and state media have singled out key issues at the four-day meeting as potentially including land and administrative reforms, as well as reducing protections for powerful state-owned enterprises.
A government think-tank, meanwhile, called for dismantling the residency registration system known as "hukou", which restricts access to medical insurance and other benefits for migrants.
China also faces important issues including oppressive air and environmental pollution, and how to retool its economy to ensure more sustainable growth.
The meeting comes a year after China embarked on a once-a-decade leadership transition, with Xi Jinping taking over as party general secretary before becoming state president in March this year.
Although the economy is no longer completely party- and state-controlled, the ruling body holds huge sway, with officials in charge of key elements, such as the exchange rate, that in other countries are left mostly to markets.
Xinhua said the party draft document "pools the wisdom of the whole party and from all aspects" and is expected "to advance the reform that has lasted for more than three decades".
The agency, however, reported no concrete details.
'Different groups have different interests'
China's leadership recognises that the country's economic growth model, largely based on state-financed investment, needs to give way to one in which consumers and other private actors take the lead in propelling expansion.
But changing direction is no easy task given entrenched interests and ways, as well as the economy's increasing complexity.
The Global Times newspaper, which has close links to the party, alluded to such challenges in an editorial.
"Different groups in society have different -- or even conflicting -- interests," it said.
Analysts say broad brushstrokes rather than firm details are more likely to emerge from the meeting after it concludes Tuesday.
"Expectations are not very high for the economic reform blueprint which will be spelt out at the plenum," Willy Lam, an expert in Chinese politics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, told AFP.
"This is because Xi Jinping has emphasised the values of stability and also incremental changes."
China most notably signalled major reforms at a Third Plenum in 1978, when it embarked on the landmark drive that has seen it transformed over the past three decades from a Communist-style command economy into a key driver of global growth, trade and investment.
However, Lam said: "Intellectuals in Beijing are not very optimistic that the reforms introduced at the weekend will be as forward-looking and sweeping as those introduced by Deng Xiaoping 35 years ago."
The People's Daily newspaper, the official party mouthpiece, firmly rejected any Western-style political reforms on the eve of the gathering.
The party "must uphold its leadership... in the face of some people in society who advocate imitation of the Western system," the paper said Friday in a full-page editorial.
The meeting of the full 376-member Central Committee is believed to be taking place at a closely guarded hotel in Beijing.
Security in the form of uniformed and plainclothes police was tight as a stream of black sedans with tinted windows could be seen entering the venue.
Police were preventing vehicles with non-Beijing license plates from proceeding on the city's main thoroughfare toward the hotel, according to an AFP photographer at the scene.
The meeting comes less than two weeks after a fiery vehicle crash along the same avenue in front of Tiananmen Square, the symbolic heart of the Chinese state, that killed two tourists and wounded dozens.
The government has described the incident as "terrorism" and blames separatists from Xinjiang, the far-western region that is home to the mostly-Muslim Uighur minority.

The Starke County Commissioners this week heard from IT Director Joe Short, who gave them a bit of bad news. The Sheriff's Department's radio tower was damaged by last month's storms, and Short told the commissioners that no tower companies will make repairs to the tower. Once it's damaged, Short says, the entire tower must be replaced.
This is a huge undertaking, as the tower would have to not only be completely rebuilt, but it would also have to be expanded. When the tower was originally built, regulations weren't quite so strict, but now regulations require heavier-duty towers. The base would have to be expanded from its previous five-foot base to a 16-foot base. Short says they've received a few proposals and they're still waiting to learn how much of the expense will be covered by insurance.
Short also discussed the upcoming switch of county radio equipment to narrowband systems, reminding the commissioners that the migration, which was ordered by the FCC in December 2004, must be complete by the end of this year. Unfortunately, because the radio tower has been damaged and is significantly shorter than it should be, Short recommended moving forward with narrowband licensing but holding off on the reprogramming of the radio equipment itself. Because narrowband systems have a shorter range, he recommended waiting until the new tower has been built before making the switch.
