In response to:
Lorena Gonzalez' legislation involving senior school administrators raising money isn't about fighting corruption. It's about eliminating a source of campaign financing that would compete with union interests.
Corruption is corruption irregardless of whom is involved. Is it any less corrupt that the Lorena Gonzalez campaign was bought and paid for by unions and now she's now beholden to them? It sort of sounds to me that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
She's using the South Bay corruption cases masked as justification for this legislation when the two are not related.
That $2,500 "campaign contribution" was nothing more than a bribe.
Inviting vendors to campaign fundraisers and weddings is corruption.
Doing the unions' work after they financed a bureaucrat's campaign is corruption. Why is this not considered pay for play?
If she's really interested in curtailing this, the legislation should not only include school administrators (and operatives), faculty (and their operatives...unions) and vendors. That would truly make these campaigns "grassroots."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks dipped Tuesday as the S&P 500 again failed to close beyond its 50-day moving average, and oil rose higher following the resignation of Egypt's foreign minister amid widening and sometimes violent protests calling for President Mohamed Morsi's departure. The S&P reversed course at mid-day after the index hit 1,624.26, just above its average level over the past 50 days, according to Bespoke Investment Group. The market gauge fell 0.1% to close at 1,614.04 after it was unable to move past its 50-day average. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 0.3%, finishing at 14,907.82, while the Nasdaq was little changed for the session at 3,433.40. U.S. stocks have been volatile for more than five weeks as mixed signals from Federal Reserve officials about the size and duration of the central bank's stimulus program dampened investor sentiment despite encouraging signs of growth in the world's largest economy. The S&P 500 has failed to break past its 50-day moving average for three times in four days. Crude oil for August delivery settled at $99.60, a gain of 1.6%, the highest price since May 2012, as clashes throughout Egypt intensified pressure on the country's military to force President Morsi to leave office. Elsewhere, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William C. Dudley, in a speech in Stamford, Conn., said that despite weak economic conditions such as 7.5% unemployment and slow GDP growth, he expects the economy to make gains in 2014. Dudley, who has championed the Fed's stimulus program, said he is confident slowing rates of inflation paired with firming markets will spur growth. "The private sector of the economy should continue to heal, while the amount of fiscal drag will begin to subside," Dudley said. Investor sentiment was further strengthened earlier when automakers reported a double-digit increase in pickup truck sales, a sign of a reviving economy and improvement in the home construction market. Although stocks finished the first half of 2013 up by double-digits, Russ Koesterich, Blackrock's chief investment strategist, said in a client note published Monday that stocks still have more room to run in the second half as valuations remain attractive. "For the remainder of the year we continue to emphasize large and mega-cap U.S. stocks and we would suggest a focus on select cyclical sectors, namely energy and technology," Koesterich wrote. Automaker Ford ( F) jumped 2.8% to close at $16.18 after reporting that its June U.S. sales increased 13% from a year ago resulting in the company's best June sales since 2006. U.S. auto sales to be reported throughout the day were generally expected to show a rise 6% to 8% according to TrueCar.com. Ford said that during the month, it experienced strong retail share gains and attracted many new customers.

multiphase flow with moving interface combined with diffusion
I'm working on a simulation of two droplets in air coalescing into one combined droplet in which I want to follow in time the mass transport of a species C in one droplet into the coalesced droplet. The species has to remain into the droplet phase and not diffuse into the air.
I'm using the Laminar two-phase flow (phase field) to describe the coalescing of the two droplets in air with a time dependent simulation. This part of the model is working quite well both in 2d and 3d.
Combining this model in the same study with the transport in diluted species (convection & diffusion) physics to describe the mass transport of an species C with start concentration C0 from the single one droplet into the combined coalesced droplet I run into problems.
The main problem is that the species C does not remain in droplet phase but also diffuses into the surrounding air.
In my opinion, I somehow have to use the phase field variable phipf with value=-1 to track the moving liquid-air interface to prevent the transport of the species from the droplet to the air.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Re: multiphase flow with moving interface combined with diffusion
You can make the transport diffusion coefficient a function of the phase field variable. With a low diffusion in air the species is more likely to stay in the droplets.

Get the Glow: Five Yoga Poses That Give You Great Skin
It turns out yoga and smooth, beautiful skin go hand in hand!
-Vicki Santillano, www.DivineCaroline.com
If there's one thing seasoned yoga practitioners are known for (other than the impressive and slightly alarming ability to bend their bodies in all manner of directions), it's great skin. Think of instructors you've encountered or enthusiasts you know in real life—it's likely they all have similarly youthful, radiant skin. Is it the deep, restorative breaths and meditative state that keep wrinkles at bay, or is it the focused flows of movement that challenge the body and increase circulation?
Read Top 5 Foods for Sexy, Shiny Hair
As it turns out, the answer is a little of both. Practicing yoga does wonders for the mind and body. As skin guru Dr. Nicholas Perricone wrote in The Clear Skin Prescription, "It is the perfect exercise for people who lead busy, stress-filled lives who want to look and feel their best." Yoga in general improves skin health by reducing stress (a common catalyst to breakouts and fine lines) and removing toxins from the body. In fact, there are certain asanas (poses) that are especially good at this, and therefore especially good for the skin. I spoke with two Los Angeles–based yoga instructors, Lisa Paskel and Mary Fanto, to find out the best ways to get a yogic glow.
The Best Asanas for Your Skin
Before going into skin-advantageous poses, it's important to note that these shouldn't be performed without warming up the body first. "I would never tell anyone who's not warmed up to go into a spinal twist or an inversion," warns Lisa Paskel, co-founder of Yoga Shelter. That could cause injury, especially for beginners unfamiliar with the poses in the first place. Even the simpler ones should be done slowly and carefully.
Up next: five fantastic yoga poses for you!

Looking for work if you're disabled
1. Looking for a job
When you're looking for work, look on adverts and application forms for either:
- the 'disability confident' symbol
- the 'positive about disabled people' symbol (with 2 ticks)
Both symbols mean the employer is committed to employing disabled people.
If a job advert displays either symbol, you'll be guaranteed an interview if you meet the basic conditions for the job.
Find out about jobs in your area at your local Jobcentre.
Getting help
Your local Jobcentre can help you find a job or gain new skills and tell you about disability-friendly employers in your area.
They can also refer you to a specialist work psychologist, if appropriate, or carry out an 'employment assessment', asking you about:
- your skills and experience
- what kind of roles you're interested in
Ask the work coach at your local Jobcentre.
Programmes and grants
Your work coach can tell you about programmes and grants to help you back into work. These include:
- Work Choice - to help you find a job, and get support when you start work
- Access to Work - money towards a support worker or for the cost of equipment or travelling to work
- Specialist Employability Support - to help you get ready for employment or become self-employed

THE sister of a soldier killed in the Normandy landings has transcribed the harrowing diary he wrote.
Norman Bottoms's mum begged him not to join the Army, and follow in the footsteps of his father Harry.
Harry had been wounded during the First World War and despite returning home to Artillery Street, Colchester, he never recovered and died aged 34.
Sportsman Norman, 19, joined up with two friends in Colchester in May 1939 and spent the next five years as a signaller in the 147 Essex Yeomanry Regiment, working on communication lines along the UK coastline.
His first posting abroad was on June 6, 1944 – D-Day.

HOUSTON - Relatives of a man accused of killing his pregnant wife took the stand in his defense Thursday, KPRC Local 2 reported.
David Temple is accused of killing his 8-months pregnant wife, Belinda, in their home on January 11, 1999. Belinda Temple, 30, was shot in the head in a bedroom closet.
There were tense moments on the stand for Rebecca Temple, defendant David Temple's sister-in-law.
"Do you remember a conversation with Tammy Harlon when you told Tammy you thought David killed Belinda?" prosecutor Kelly Siegler asked Rebecca Temple.
"Oh my God," defense attorney Dick DeGuerin shouted.
Siegler shocked Rebecca Temple with secretly recorded conversations she had with Belinda Temple's twin sister, Brenda. On the tapes, Rebecca Temple said she did not want to talk to David Temple because she did not like being lied to.
Rebecca Temple also said on the tapes that she did not want anything to do with Heather Scott, David Temple's mistress.
Rebecca Temple told the jury that she was extremely depressed, bitter and angry after Belinda Temple was killed. She said she has forgiven David Temple and she now loves Scott as much as she loved Belinda Temple.
Siegler had stressed in questioning that several family members did not tell a grand jury about a family meeting where David Temple confessed to his affair with Scott two days after Belinda Temple's death. Relatives have said they believe it is all a matter of semantics and they do not believe the word "affair" means the same thing as unfaithfulness.
David Temple, 39, was charged with murder in 2004.
David Temple and Heather Scott were married a few years after Belinda Temple's death. Prosecutors said David Temple's desire to be with Scott was the motive for the killing.
If convicted of murder, David Temple could face from five years to 99 years in prison.

>Gears and Wears>Do Pedometers work?
Roads were made for journeys...
CPT Curmudgeon
Abs of Flabs
Do you have recommendation for a novice who just wants to keep track of time / distance / split times?
It's not a pedometer actually, it's an accelerometer - but the same idea. After I calibrated it at the track the other day, it's accurate to within a few steps every couple of miles.
Pedometers are designed to count the number of steps you took in a given amount of time. Distance is a product of number of steps and the length of your stride, which the pedometer has no chance to knowing. Your stride length is not an absolute number either. It is dependent upon your pace (how fast you run), and other factors.
In other words, pedometers can give you a ball park range of your distance, but you can't rely on it. If you want a truly accurate way to keep track of time, distance and splits, you'll need a GPS watch. The most popular one is the Garmin Forerunner. Timex also has a similar device. These gadgets will give you your distance (accurate to probably 98-99% over a long distance), your speed/pace as you're running, and can automatically create split times. They cost anywhere up to $350.
Problem is, the GPS units don't work very well where it's heavily wooded, do they?
Maybe you can find a friend who will let you try one out on your most densely covered running route?
Ok! Can anyone tell me how to do links?
There's a little button for it just to the right of the bold/italic/underline buttons. You can also link pictures that way.
Running through a tunnel does completely wipe out the signal

Good sport fishing isn't hard to find in Alaska. In fact, in this land of 3,000 rivers, 3 million lakes and 6,640 miles of coastline, a sport fisher's greatest challenge can be deciding where to get started. From an angler's perspective, Alaska is enormous; fishing it all would require one to cast across a million acres of streams, lakes and water-lapped shorelines every day for a full year. Think of it as the old anglers' quandary – so much water, so many fish, so little time – but on a wilder, grander scale.
Here to protect, maintain and improve these valuable sport fisheries is Alaska's Division of Sport Fish. Established in the territorial days of 1951, the division's creation coincided with the passage of the Dingell-Johnson Act, which dedicated federal money for states and territories to conduct recreational fisheries research. Today, the division oversees Alaska's sport fisheries, as well as many personal use fisheries, a package worth more than $500 million annually.
Anglers can now find our Division of Sport Fish biologists and technicians in the field 12 months per year, monitoring the steelhead, Pacific salmon and coastal cutthroat trout streams of Alaska's Southeast Panhandle; in Southwest Alaska's remote Bristol Bay salmon and trophy rainbow trout waters; in Southcentral's briny Prince William Sound, rich in shrimp, salmon, halibut and more; in Interior's winding Yukon River drainage, home of northern pike and sail-finned grayling; and in the high Arctic, where mysterious sport fish such as fiery-bellied Arctic char and inconnu – better known as sheefish, or Arctic tarpon – run in unfished rivers.
Look for us out there, when you're ready to fish. But check in here first. We'll have the answers to your questions. And we can help you get settled on where to start.

NEW YORK— The finalists have been selected for the 2013 Housewares Design Awards.
Five product finalists in each of 12 core awards categories were selected from nearly 300 entries representing Cookware & Bakeware; Countertop Cooking & Beverage Appliances; Countertop Food Prep Appliances; Countertop Kitchenware; Cutlery and Cutting Tools; Floor Care & Cleaning Appliances; Gadgets & Kitchen Tools; Home Environment Appliances; Home Organization, Laundry Care & Non-Electric Cleaning; Home & Outdoor Décor; Personal, Health & Garment Care; and Tableware, Serveware & Beverageware.
"Best in Category" winners for each of the 12 awards categories will be announced during a special Housewares Design Awards presentation ceremony and luncheon. A trio of "Best of the Best" winners— Gold, Silver and Bronze awards— will be selected from the 12 "Best in Category" honorees.
The 2013 Housewares Design Award ceremony will mark the culmination of the 10th-year celebration of the industry's original and preeminent design competition.
The 2013 Housewares Design Awards ceremony also features the fifth annual Green House Award competition for eco-responsible design. The 2013 Green House Award winner will be selected from among five finalists.
The 2013 Housewares Design Awards luncheon and ceremony is scheduled for January 29, 2013, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Marriott New York Marquis overlooking New York City's Times Square. Each of the finalist designs will be on display during the Housewares Design Awards luncheon, to be attended by industry business executives and consumer media.
HOMEWORLD BUSINESS® presents the Housewares Design Awards®. Sponsors of 2013 Housewares Design Awards are The Gourmet Housewares Show at NYIGF, Whitford Corporation and Gourmet Insider magazine.
An independent panel of design and merchandising experts convened in mid-November to judge the entries and select finalists, "Best in Category," "Best of the Best" and "Green House" winners. Members of the selection committee assembled were excused from judging submissions for which they may have had any affiliation.
Housewares Design Awards finalists were chosen based on design believed to differentiate a product with unique appearance and/or function. The judges considered appropriate aesthetics, innovative materials and technology, user benefits (i.e., performance, comfort, ease of use, safety) and marketability.
Green House Award finalists were selected from a subdivision of entries (all Housewares Design Awards entrants could opt into the Green House Award competition for an additional fee) and were not required to have been among the "Best in Category" finalists.
Products judged had to have been introduced to the market between October 1, 2011, and September 30, 2012, and available for purchase by consumers by October 1, 2012. No prototypes were accepted.
Entries and judging are managed by Housewares Design Awards, LLC.
Details on the 2013 Housewares Design Awards are available at www.housewaresdesignawards.com.
Tickets for the January 29, 2013, luncheon and awards ceremony are available for purchase online at www.housewaresdesignawards.com; or by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vinson, M., Rausch, O., Maycox, P.R., Prinjha, R.K., Chapman, D., Morrow, R., Harper, A.J., Dingwall, C., Walsh, F.S., Burbidge, S.A., Riddell, D.R.
Notes: The p75 rabbit polyclonal rabbit antibody was used to label cultured primary cerebellar neurons prepared from rat brain in both immunocytochemistry and Western blot analyses. (2660)

Anti-Human p75 pAb
Wong, S.T., Henley, J.R., Kanning, K.C., Huang, K.H., Bothwell, M. and Poo, M.M.
Notes: In this study, Anti-Human p75 polyclonal antibody was used to immunoprecipitate p75 neurotrophin receptor from HEK-293 cell lysates. The Anti-Human p75 pAb was preadsorbed with protein A sepharose and this complex was used to immunoprecipitate p75 neurotrophin receptor complexes for Western blot analysis. (3200)
Yang, B., Slonimsky, J.D., Birren, S.J.
Notes: The authors investigated the role of p75 in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-mediated shifts from excitation to inhibition in sympathetic neuron-myocyte connections in cell culture. Rat sympathetic neurons and ventricular myocytes were co-cultured and transfected with an expression vector containing either wildtype human p75 or a ligand-binding deficient p75. p75 expression was monitored by staining with Promega's Anti-Human p75 pAb. (2472)
Kimura, M.T., Irie, S., Shoji-Hoshino, S., Mukai, J., Nadano, D., Oshimura, M., and Sato T.A.
Notes: A protein complex of the p75NTR-associated cell death executor, the p75 neurotrophin receptor, and a protein named 14-3-3 was characterized in HEK293 cells. The p75 neurotrophin receptor was detected using a 1:10,000 dilution of Promega's Anti-Human p75 pAb in a Western blot with PVDF membranes blocked with 10% nonfat dry milk. (2370)
Chang, A., Nishiyama, A., Peterson, J., Prineas, J., and Trapp, B.D.
Notes: Brains from multiple sclerosis patients were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and sectioned (30µm thick). Sections were doubly labeled by TUNEL labeling to detect apoptotic cells and by immunohistochemistry to detect p75 neurotrophin receptor positive cells. Immunostaining for p75 was performed with Promega's Anti-Human p75 pAb. (2373)
Vesa, J., Krüttgen, A., and Shooter, E.M.
Notes: To examine the importance of the p75 neurotrophin receptor on TrkB- and TrkC-mediated signaling, MG87 mouse fibroblast cell lines stably transfected with rat TrkB or TrkC cDNA were then stably transfected with rat p75 cDNA. To confirm the expression of p75, extracts prepared from the stable cell lines were subjected to Western blot analysis using the Anti-Human p75 pAb. (2371)
Wang, S., Bray, P., McCaffrey, T., March, K., Hempstead, B.L., and Kraemer, R.
Notes: The authors examine the ability of neurotrophins to induce apoptosis in smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic lesions. Mouse smooth muscle cells were stably transfected with the p75 neurotrophin receptor gene. Expression of p75 NTR was confirmed by Western blot analysis with the Anti-Human p75 pAb. (2372)
Bibel, M., Hoppe, E. and Barde, Y.-A.
Notes: A293 cells were transfected with expression vectors for HA-tagged TrkA, TrkB or TrkC with the rat p75 receptor. The cells were lysed and immunoprecipitated with an anti-HA antibody and the resulting material was blotted and shown to react with the Anti-Human p75 pAb. p75 was not detected when the cells were transfected with the EGF receptor and p75, then immunoprecipitated with an anti-EGF Receptor antibody. This system allowed analysis of deletion mutants of both TrkB and p75. (1447)
Dougherty, K.D., Milner, T.A.
Notes: The Anti-Human p75 pAb was used for combined immunoperoxidase and immunogold-silver labeling with PARV antibodies. The Anti-Human p75 pAb was used at a 1:2000 dilution and recognized with biotinylated donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody. Labeling was performed on forebrain vibratome sections of 40 microns. (1244)
St. John, J.A., Key, B.
Notes: The anti-Human p75 pAb was used for immunohistochemistry of rat brain sections. Some detail of the procedure is provided (i.e. 2.5µg/ml of the pAb). Tissue preparation is referenced. (0327)
Kohn, J., Aloyz, R.S., Toma, J.G., Haak-Frendscho, M., Miller, F.D.
Notes: Recombinant Human BDNF was used in studies of BDNF neutralization. The Anti-BDNF pAb (> or = 10µg/ml) was found to inhibit 50ng/ml of BDNF from activating autophosphorylation cascades of TrkB in TrkB-expressing NIH3T3 cells. Control IgY at up to 40µg/ml had no inhibitory effect on the autophosphorylation. The Anti-BDNF pAb was added to cultures of primary rat sympathetic neurons to neutralize any BDNF/p75NTR autocrine loop. BDNF causes a decrease in cell proliferation and apoptosis as judged by the CellTiter 96® Assay and the DeadEnd™ Colorimetric Apoptosis Detection System, respectively. The DeadEnd™ System was used in a unique way. Rather than staining the apoptotic nuclei with DAB via the streptavidin-HRP conjugate, a Cy®3-conjugated streptavidin was substituted. To compare the immunolocalization of the tyrosine hydroxylase protein and the p75NTR receptor, serial sections of mouse pineal glands were probed with an anti-tyrosine hydroxylase antibody and the Anti-Human p75 pAb. A lot of detail is provided for tissue processing prior to IHC. The Anti-Human p75 pAb was also used to detect p75 in mouse and rat pineal gland extracts via Western blotting. The name of the DeadEnd™ Colorimetric Apoptosis Detection System has been changed to DeadEnd™ Colorimetric TUNEL System. (0916)

Jiang, H., Takeda, K., Lazarovici, P., Katagiri, Y., Yu, Z.-X., Dickens, G., Chabuk, A., Liu, X.-W., Ferrans, V., Guroff, G.
Notes: The Anti-Human p75 pAb was used for detection of the p75 receptor in transfected NIH3T3 cells by Western blotting. (0978)
Notes: The Anti-Human p75 pAb was used for immunohistochemical detection of p75NTR in 2% paraformaldehyde-fixed 40µm vibratome sections of rat brain. Tissues processed for peroxidase staining were incubated with a 1:2000 dilution of the antisera and those processed for immunogold labeling were incubated with a 1:400 dilution of the antibody. Excellent detail is provided for both procedures. (1245)
Tisay, K.T., Key, B.
Notes: For single labeling of cultured rat olfactory ensheathing cells, the explants were grown on coverslips and fixed in methanol prior to immunostaining with the Anti-Human p75 pAb. For double labeling with a β III tubulin antibody, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde prior to incubation with a 1:200 dilution of the Anti-Human p75 pAb. (0268)
Ye, X., Mehlen, P., Rabizadeh, S., VanArsdale, T., Zhang, H., Shin, H., Wang, J.J.L., Leo, E., Zapata, J., Hauser, C.A., Reed, J.C., Bredesen, D.E.
Notes: TRAF and p75 NTR were expressed in HEK 293T cells. In one experiment, TRAF was immunoprecipitated and the complex resolved on a gel and blotted with Promega's Anti-Human p75 pAb to demonstrate the interaction between the two proteins. (0109)
Krüttgen, A., Möller, J.C., Heymach, J.V. Jr, and Shooter, E.M.
Notes: To examine the regulation of neurotrophin secretion, the release of neurotrophins from PC12 cells transfected with various neurotrophin expression vectors was quantitated. To quantitate BDNF an ELISA was developed by coating the plates with the TrkB-Fc receptor body and detecting with the Anti-Human BDNF pAb and the Anti-Chicken IgY, HRP Conjugate. There was no crossreactivity with NGF, NT-3, and NT-4/5 at 1 µg/ml. The Anti-Human p75 pAb was also used in this study. (2359)
Britsch, S., Li, L., Kirchhoff, S., Theuring, F., Brinkmann, V., Birchmeier, C. and Riethmacher, D.
Notes: Promega's Anti-Human p75 pAb was used to determine the distribution of rat neural crest cells in the anlage of the sympathetic ganglion chain. This immunostaining was combined with TUNEL staining of the tissue. (1408)
Jiang, H., Ulme, D.S., Dickens, G., Chabuk, A., Lavarreda, M., Lazarovici, P. and Guroff, G.
Notes: The antibody was used to detect p75 protein in Western blots of NIH3T3 cells stably expressing both p140trk and p75NGFR. (1582)

SUPERMARINE Sports Club charge to the Wiltshire League title was halted in their top-of-the-table clash at Shrewton United.
The South Marston side went into the match into with a six point lead over their second placed hosts, however, that was cut to three as Shrewton ran out 2-1 winners.
Both sides have three games of their campaigns remaining and Supermarine know that they cannot afford to slip up again if they are to be crowned champions.
Elsewhere in the Premier Division, Wroughton were on the wrong end of a 5-2 home beating by Trowbridge Town, while Vale of Pewsey held Wilts Calne Town to a 1-1 draw and SKS Blyskawica suffered a 2-1 defeat at Ludgershall Sports.
Malmesbury reserves played their first home league match since December 14 and they stormed to an 8-1 victory over Sarum Youth Seniors in Division One.
The win at the Flying Monk Ground also avenged Sarum's 4-2 win at Castle Meadow back in January.
Intel's hopes of taking the title suffered a major setback when they crashed at home to Melksham Town reserves.
The hosts held a four-point lead over their visitors prior to the match, but that has now been cut to one with Melksham having four games in hand over the table-toppers.

The Strategonomicon - share your tips and tricks!
Greetings, fellow archdemons!
As you all know, SI is a fairly intricate game with lots of obscure game mechanics, and while I sadly haven't finished a game yet I have managed to pick up a few things along the way, mostly by browsing through the manual and online resources whenever I wondered how things work. I hope you'll find these useful and maybe even tell us your own!
Game mechanics :
- Challenge rolls for rituals work like so:
- Both the attacker and the defender roll a number. In the case of a tie, the defender wins.
- The attacker's total is 2d6 (roll two six-sided die, add them together) + ritual discipline level + bonuses from perks, PoPs, relics.
- The defender's total is 2d6 + target-specific resist modifier (the level of the target, or an average between level and loyalty when targeting legions EDIT : with deceit rituals, thanks to Heliocentric) + bonuses from rituals, perks, PoPs, relics
- I don't know what the loyalty rating for starting legions is, though. (EDIT: the rating is a whooping 10, and bribe rituals automatically fail. Thanks to Heliocentric for the info)
- When using prophecy or deceit rituals, the check that determines wether the target finds out about the caster's identity is the same, except the defender doesn't get the target's resist modifier. This same check is also used when attempting to frame someone.
Builds :
- There is (AFAIK) no reason to pick anything other than Lust or Gluttony as your Public Objective. Even if you never bother capturing the Temple of Lust / Garden of Infernal Delights (and who knows, you might get a lucky placement) or never have 35 souls to spare, the extra 3+ fiend points are well worth the 30 Prestige you might get otherwise.
I'd love to hear dissenting opinions on this, though, because always picking the same objectives gets boring fast.
- Similarly, always have Charisma at a minimum of 2. 3 is significantly better, though, and well worth the fiend points, as it'll let you keep 3 cards rather than 2. If you do start with 2, make sure you bump it up ASAP.
- For the above reason, If you don't have the points to spare for Cha 3 and have a free perk slot, consider going for Cha 3 + Obscure. It costs the exact same as Cha 2 and makes for a much smoother start.
Reading your enemy's builds:
- This one's important! One crucial thing to know is that your starting legion's stats tell a lot about your initial build. The formula goes like this:
- You start with 6 points
- You get an extra point for each non-zero, non-Cha attribute
- You get an extra point for every level in a non-Cha attribute
- These points are then randomly allocated to each of the stats
- Knowing an archfiend's rank, Public Objective and assuming a starting Cha of a least 2, you can make fairly accurate predictions about what their stats look like (while you're checking their legion, make sure you have a look at their movement speed. A move of 1 means they picked Slothful). Go to the character creator and attempt to fill in the blanks. Players with lots of fiend points left over are likely to be either Power Behind the Throne / Kingmaker players or Charisma-centric turtle builds, and you should watch them closely.
- If you want a solid starting legion for cheap, a X/1/1/1 build (where X is the level for your primary attribute) will get you a legion with a minimum total of 14, with 6 extra legion stat points over X/0/0/0 but only costing 6 additional fiend points. This makes for a fairly decent start, but might delay your 3rd order slot.
- If you suspect your opponent has a high Martial rating but want confirmation, look at his legion or PoP's health regeneration. Martial 3 grants an additional +1 health per turn. Note that Prophecy 3, perks and equiment can have similar effects, so take it with a grain of salt.
Misc / Diplomacy:
- Every non-Charisma discipline gets you an order slot once you get high enough in it, but Martial's at 5 rather than 4.
- If one of your opponents accepts 3 of your demands in a row, you may claim vendetta against him at any time.
- If you win 3 vendettas (EDIT : this does not cover Single Combat vendettas, thanks to Heliocentric again) against the same opponent, you may claim Blood Feud against him. Blood Feuds are permanent and allow you to capture his stronghold, eliminating him from the game
- You may also claim Blood Feud at any time against a neighboring opponent who only controls his stronghold's canton.
- If you don't share a border with pandemonium, don't try to attack it with a flying legion if you aren't already excommunicated (This happened to a player in a game I was in, and it hurt to watch). It appears that you are only declared excommunicated at the very end of the turn, after the game checks to see if your legion can land in a legal space. Since you aren't yet excommunicated, it cannot land and gets destroyed as a result.
- If you're going to be agressive in the first 10 turns, make sure you use the free threat list readjustments! Proper threat list management lets you cast rituals for cheaper and allows you to select from a wider range of vendetta conditions and prestige wagers.

- Challenge rolls for rituals work like so:
You should do 4 things every turn , no matter your intentions.
Read the turn log, read about every item, relic, ritual and legion, scan the map, look at every Legion and place of power (friendly and hostile) , look for damage, reduced stats and equipped stuff. If an opponent with sorcerer raises wickedness the infernal attribute will go up one for example.
Thirdly and just as importantly, check the shops. I don't care if you are broke, in a war or both if an item that desperately changes the game shows up you want to know.
Fourth keep you choices open, don't just stick to what you decided, the very ground you stand on might change, but still plan ahead, but be prepared to be surprised.
Edit: Starting Legion loyalty defaults to 10 but bribe rituals auto fail. This 10 can be modified by items. Destruction rituals are tested only against level.

Posted in here since for some reason i dont have permission to post new topic!.
I'm very new to game (got it last week). Just started 2 pbem games which look damn fun. Played vs ai a few times but find the ai fairly boring and predictable for most part but here a couple of questions if some pros could answer them.
One ai game i had my praetor banished by a destruction ritual.
So i guess my question is this.
What are the possible defenses you can use for
(a) Preventing your praetor being bribed/pilfered by another player.
(b) Preventing your praetor being banished by a destruction player.
It seems at a quick glance its possibly easier to defend vs being bribed than being banished.
Not sure on how the rolls work in regards to both these scenarios with regards to loyalty or level or such as my head is spinning a little with many other rules!
extra bonus question : i managed to beat the butcher in a praetor duel going heavy defense i think for the first 3 slots but when i fought queen of the damned i got obliterated i dont think i even did a single point of damage in just over 1 round to her using a leveled up haagenti (and that was even when i avoided her oath of retribution totally). Any tips for beating the champions in duels if you dont have any manuscripts?
sorry if thats a lot but i gotta say the mechanics of the game are pretty interesting.

It's impossible to keep a Praetor totally safe, ritual resistance traits help, not equipping the Praetor to a legion protects it by obscurity. There are relics that help too.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

I find that the best way to prevent things from getting pinched or banished is sticking them in your vault. They're not 100% safe there, but your opponent will need to use dark augury (at Prophecy lvl 2+) to peek into your vault first. If you can catch them trying to probe you you might have a couple of turns to beef up your defenses.
As Heliocentric mentioned, there are, beyond the starting resistance traits which are pretty cost effective, some relics that add ritual resistance, and don't forget the Infernal Premonitions ritual (Prophecy 2), which gives you a boost against deceit rituals.
Regarding Praetor strength, there's not much to it beyond using manuscripts and ensuring they fight as much as possible, as praetors appear to level up after every fight. There's also an event whose name escapes me and a ritual (Anointed of Ash, which is granted by the Goblet of The Traitor relic) that gives them a significant stat boost.
New tips, this time on bidding!
- When bidding above the minimum bid, extra souls count double.
- In case of a tie, the highest ranked Archfiend wins. If there is still a tie, the Archfiend with the highest prestige wins. If there is still a tie and one of the remaining Archfiends is the current Regent, he wins. Otherwise, the auction is cancelled and the minimum bid raised for the next turn.
Note that the phase in which a bid is submitted has no influence on the final result.
- When one Archfiend outbids another, the loser (and only the loser, thanks to Heliocentric for the correction) is told about the winner's identity.

A winner is not informed about losers on a bid. But otherwise a great set of tips.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

Are you sure about this? I remember winning an auction on a praetor and knowing who the loser was. It was a while ago, though, so I can't discount the possibility that I worked it out after the auction and misremembered. I'll check the manual when I get back from work and amend my post as needed.
Yes, very sure. They likely came to you complaining about you beating them. Happens to me alot because I AM A HIGH ROLLER *ahem*

Well, the manual does not have anything to say about this, so I will defer to your expertise.
On another note, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. Scheming mode, engage!
Person 1: "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING"
Person 2: "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING"
Just doesn't fly.
For protecting relics from grubby paws I strongly recommend shoving the relic in a ritual slot, not only do they need another level in prophesy to spot it (also as it has more possible outcomes at level 3 less chance they'll find out what they need to know) but also if they do spot it if you shove it back into your treasury before they attempt the loot it might actually get protected by it being mistargeted (need to test this theory).

Teacher teacher I have a question!
When training praetors can you use more than one manuscript in one go or should I use different orders for different manuscripts?
Yup, you can do it in one go.
EDIT: Waaaaait a minute. Were those manuscript purchases yours? THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.
God I love saying that

I actually have a quick question - when a legion has "<combat phase> twice"-ability, does the said combat phase happen twice in a row OR does the combat go a normal round and only after that the <combat phase> occurs again? I remember reading somewhere that it was the latter, but I haven't found any confirmation for it.
Gameboys From Hell series IIRC, but I can't remember which particular episode it was in.
Extra combat rounds happen after the normal ones, and in any effected orders.
If melee twice:
Ranged, melee, infernal, melee (round end)
If melee twice +ranged twice :
Ranged, melee, infernal, ranged, melee.
If melee first +melee twice, ranged twice:
Melee, ranged, infernal, melee, rangedI am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

On the same vein.
If you have two legion fighting
Legion A has a melee twice modifier while Legion B has a skip first melee combat card.
What happens? Both melee phases are skipped or just one?
Also, What happens if two legions have a different "X Phase first"?
I assume that it's applied the ability of the winner of the combat advantage. but is the other one discarded?
I mean
A: Melee first
B: Infernal First
A wins combat advantage so the order is
Melee - Ranged - Infernal
Or the other player attribute is considered and the order ends up being something like: Melee - Infernal - Ranged ?

This is from memory and I haven't tested things recently.
Melee Twice
Combat Order: Ranged, Melee, Infernal, Melee. Repeat.
Melee Twice and Skip First Melee
Combat Order: Ranged, Infernal, Melee. Ranged, Melee, Infernal, Melee.
Melee First and Infernal First
Combat Order: Melee, Infernal, Ranged. Repeat.
Essentially Melee goes first because it would normally go first if the Melee First and Infernal First abilities weren't involved.

I have a question regarding the bottle of whispers artifact , or more precisely the shadow binding ritual you can cast with it.
according to the wiki
Shadow Binding Prevents all combat abilities (e.g. Ranged Last) a legion possesses from functioning in combat for a set number of turns. It works on both inherent abilities and those granted by attached praetors or artifacts. Counts as a deceit ritual for targeting and power roll purposes.
So could i get some clarification this rituals effect.
I'll assume that if it works it negates abilities such as melee first/ infernal twice etc which are either provided by artifacts or praetors or such.
Does it also negate the +ranged or +melee etc abilites that artifacts and praetors boost a legion with?
Also does it negate (block) combat cards if it is successful?
Couldnt find enough info on it!

Mego's Teen Titans 7″ Figures Return In 2014 From Figures Toy Company
Mego's storied Worlds Greatest Super Heroes line of the '70s shaped an action figure era with 8" articulated plastic dolls adorned with cloth costumes, but there was a special corner of the line reserved for sidekicks standing just 7" tall. That line? The 1977 Teen Titans series featuring Speedy, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash. Following the release of several waves of Batman Mego reissues, Figures Toy Company is turning its attention to rolling out all four of the previously limited edition dolls in the first quarter of 2014.

quinoa salmon lemon and dill salad photo by vsimon
It's too hot to cook!
Luckily, I have some leftover salmon from yesterday. What to do with it?
Quinoa is quick on the stovetop, it won't heat up the kitchen. I have lemons and celery in the fridge. Dried tomatoes in the freezer. And lots of fresh dill in the garden.
Quinoa colors
White, red, black, purple, orange? I have used white and red, the only difference is the color. Any color would work here, use whatever you have.
Wild or farm raised salmon?
There is only one answer for me, wild caught Alaskan salmon. Click on the link for a thorough review of all the issues at World's Healthiest Foods website.
Lemons 1, 2, or 3?
You choose. Are you timid, or do you like lots of tangy lemon flavor? Are you making this to serve right away, or for tomorrow?
We like sharp, fresh lemon flavor and heady aroma. Personally, I almost don't think you can get too much. And the flavor fades over time. So I made this with the zest and juice of two lemons for tonight. And will add the zest and juice of a third lemon before I serve the leftovers tomorrow.
I buy fresh lemons by the bag, not one at a time. Don't even bother with that insipid bottled juice. And add fresh zest to anything that calls for juice.
And I hope you know, fresh lemons are a great way to add flavor to foods without adding a whole bunch of salt.
Dried tomatoes?
Yep, that is what I have. Dried from last years garden. Red, yellow and orange tomatoes. I know they look like colored bell peppers in the picture, but they are tomatoes. Come to think of it, sweet peppers would be good in this salad, but I didn't have any.
I keep our thin dried tomatoes in the freezer because they are crispy and easy to break up into smaller pieces by hand. At room temp they are leathery and I need to cut them with a knife or scissors.
Our crop of garden tomatoes won't be ripe until August. But by all means, use fresh tomatoes if you have good ones. I would stir in about 1 cup diced raw tomatoes at the end. Don't cook them with the quinoa.
Fresh dill
Dill is a two-fer. The seeds and the soft feathery green fronds each have their purpose. Use the fronds here. Vince puts whole seed spays in jars of pickles. They are pretty and add flavor there.
Go ahead, plant this fragrant herb in your garden. Dill is so easy, you will only have to do it once. You will get volunteers every year after.
Sow a few seeds it in the veggie or the flower garden. It quickly grows about three feet high, with a starburst of seeds at the top.
If you can't find a packet of seeds, just buy dill seeds in the spice aisle and plant them.
Dried dill weed works well in this recipe too. It is mild, don't be afraid to use a few tablespoons. But you will miss out on the distinctive fragrance of fresh stalks.
Fresh herbs are another great help to add flavor without lots of salt too.
Quinoa Salmon Salad with Lemon and Dill
1 cup quinoa
2 cups of water
1/4 cup dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 pound cooked salmon, flaked
1/2 cup diced celery
1, 2, or 3 fresh lemons, zest and juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill weed, soft fronds only
salt to taste
Check the quinoa package to see if you need to rinse it before cooking. Many kinds are now prewashed, saving you a step.
Add quinoa, water and dried tomatoes to a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes. Then cover the pan and let stand for 15 more minutes. It always comes out fluffy, not mushy this way.
Spread the quinoa tomato mixture on a rimmed sheet pan to cool quickly.
When cool, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add celery and dill.
Add the zest and juice of as many lemons as you like. Toss to mix thoroughly. Taste and chill until ready to serve.
Flower garnish
Did you notice the nasturtiums in the photo above? They are from our garden too, and edible. The flowers are bright, beautiful and peppery. They provide a surprising kick of heat. They are easy to grow in full sun, flowering all summer long.

Transcript currently says "...showing that T.Rex came at the same time as sparrows", which isn't what is showed at all (or at least implied, and certainly isn't correct).

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley School Board approved the 2013 District Budget at its September meeting:
At a public hearing before the meeting, interim Superintendent Dennis Thompson said the budget reflects a slightly decreased assessed valuation for the district, resulting in about 1.5 percent less in operating funds than the previous year.
Board member Kent Siltman said the district is down about $1.5 million in revenue from the state for the last three years.
Siltman said there was a $1.6 million total deficit in the education, building, transportation and working funds in last year's budget, and this budget predicts a deficit of $1.2 in those four funds.
"Yes, we're running at a deficit, but it's not because we're spending extravagantly," he said. "It's just that our revenue has been cut by a very significant amount."
The budget includes the transfer of $1.25 million in working cash bonds to the Education Fund and $250,000 to Operation and Maintenance Funds. The board issued $2.9 million in the bonds in July.
Siltman said the working cash money is a "Bandaid" to the real problem.
"Obviously we either have to find some additional revenues, or we have to cut our expenses," he said. "The administration will brainstorm some ideas to save some money going forward."
Thompson said any word about personnel cuts wouldn't wait until the last minute.
"We're not going to make people happy all the time, but we're going to make them aware," he said.
The next regular meeting of the Bureau Valley School Board of Education will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct.15.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A Local 6 investigation has uncovered more than $1.3 million in Internet casino money flowing from the accused racketeers and money launderers to Florida politicians.
The amount is much greater than what is being reported by other news organizations because Local 6 included dozens of shell and affiliate companies named in criminal court documents as being funded by the alleged $300 million illegal gambling conspiracy.
For a detailed list of what the data reveal, click here.
Among our exclusive findings so far:
• From 2009 through 2012, companies controlled by or affiliated with Allied Veterans or their principals donated $1,336,226 to Florida political candidates, officials, parties and committees.
• The top recipient – the Republican Party of Florida – took in $546,335 (40 percent of all the money tracked from the Internet casinos and their associates).
• The Florida Democratic Party received $237,000, or nearly 18 percent of the total.
• Committees of Continuous Existence, or CCEs, received $277,500 -- 20.8 percent of the total. More than 75 percent of the money went to CCEs associated with Republican lawmakers, including the most money going to the CCE associated with state Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla. The Miami Republican led the effort to keep Internet casinos open after a Central Florida legislator last year proposed shutting them down. A request for comment from de la Portilla has, so far, gone unanswered.
• Republican candidates or incumbents received $148,000, or 11% of all the contributions. Gov. Rick Scott's campaign received one of the smallest contributions of all -- only $1,000, from two $500 contributions in August 2010. He has said he would donate to charity any money he received from Allied Veterans or its affiliates.
• Democratic candidates and incumbents received $82,641, or 6 percent. The most went to Scott Maddox and David Aronberg, who were running, respectively, for Agriculture Commissioner and Attorney General, the statewide offices that have the most authority over determining whether Internet casinos were breaking the law.
• Electioneering Communications Organizations, or ECOs, got $44,000, or 3%.

Talking To The Experts: Clean Eating Cookbook Author Michelle Dudashby Toby Amidor in Cookbooks, April 7, 2013
Clean eating has been around since the 1960s but has been gaining popularity recently. Registered dietitian Michelle Dudash author of Clean Eating for Busy Families explains how simple it is to follow.
Q. Could you explain what clean eating is?
Clean eating is the lifestyle of enjoying foods in their most natural and least processed state, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, nuts and seeds, lowfat dairy and expeller-pressed oils. For example, instead of eating white bread, seek out sprouted wheat bread, which is a true whole grain. Also, if you can't pronounce an ingredient on the label, you probably shouldn't eat it. Instead of components that sound like things from lab experiments, opt for foods with ingredients found in home kitchens. Clean eating to me also means opting for in-season foods—not just produce, but seafood, too—whenever possible.
Q. So many foods marketed to kids are processed — how can you eliminate or minimize processed foods, and how can you tell which packaged foods are clean?
Unfortunately, many foods marketed to kids can be deceiving. You must look past the healthy images on the front of the package and go straight to the ingredient label on the back. If you see sugar in any form (yes, even evaporated cane juice and brown rice syrup) as the first ingredient, put it down. If it's a grain product like a bar or cereal, whole grains like oats or brown rice should be listed first. If you see more than a few ingredients you can't pronounce, it's probably been manipulated and is highly processed. Despite the widespread availability of processed kids' snacks, remember, kids still love fruits and vegetables or whole-grain crackers paired with dip.
Q. What are 3 tips for parents to help them prepare healthy, wholesome meals in a flash?
- Properly stock your kitchen. In the time it would take you to call in your takeout order, drive in traffic, wait in line and get back home, you could have prepared a fresh meal, provided that you had the needed supplies. My book offers weekly, monthly and quarterly shopping lists.
- Plan meals ahead and have a go-to recipe arsenal. Planning ahead can be as detailed as writing out a monthly or weekly calendar of dinner menus, or as free-spirited as simply having three fresh proteins and vegetables on hand for the week. Plan your meals out Saturday, do all of your shopping on Sunday and as soon as you get home on weeknights, you'll be ready to start dinner.
- Make one-dish or make-ahead meals whenever possible. One-dish meals that contain a vegetable, protein and complex carbohydrate are a lifesaver–and dish saver! Recipes that you can make ahead in the slow cooker or have ready to just pop in the oven open up space during the mad evening rush.
Q. Many parents complain that their kids are picky eaters. What are ways to help parents overcome their frustration?
- "Healthify" favorites. If your child loves fast-food chicken nuggets, try my Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders with Dill Dip. Use familiar foods as the vehicle to get kids to eat foreign foods.
- Have whisk, will try it. Involving your child in the cooking process will result in them being more likely to try the foods that they help prepare.
- Don't Give Up. Continue to offer, not force, a variety of foods, namely vegetables, with most meals. It can take eight to ten exposures before a child decides whether she likes a new food or will even try it! Eventually, your child will probably surprise you.
Q. What 5 items are most essential to stock up on regularly?
My top five weekly grocery items are fresh in-season vegetables, fresh in-season fruit, hummus, Greek yogurt, and fresh proteins like seafood and chicken. If you're not a "hummus family" then low fat milk is my next essential ingredient I buy almost every week.
Q. What are your favorite kitchen tools that you'd recommend every parent have to help make cooking a little easier?
- Good-quality, 12-inch frying pan with ovenproof handle (the workhorse of the busy family kitchen) for quick sautés and griddled sandwiches
- Good, sharp knives
- Small, medium, and large cutting boards—flat ones, not warped ones
- Lemon and lime presses or reamers
- Good pepper mill (I always use freshly ground pepper instead of the bottled dusty stuff.)
- Parchment paper and silicone baking mats for easy pan cleanup
- Salad spinner for washing, draining, and drying fruits, vegetables and herbs
Q. Could you share a recipe from your new book?

For years I've wanted to write the perfect column of love for Valentine's Day. After all, any good writer should be able to convey the meaning of love to his/her readers. But it's not so easy, my friends. I've been thinking about this Valentine's Day column for a several weeks now, and I don't mind telling you my mind has gone in so many different directions — which translates to a jumble of words in my head that don't add up to much.
But here's what's interesting ... As I've contemplated this column on love, many of the thoughts I had kept repeating themselves, and ironically enough, those returning thoughts nearly all brought tears to my eyes. Could those be the words that add up to love? Since they kept returning to me, I guess those thoughts are meant to be shared. It's the best I have ...
• My childhood and long-time friend, Cathy, lives in Nashville, Tenn. The last time I was there, it was time for me to leave, and the tears immediately began to roll down my cheeks, knowing it would be way too long before we would be together again. We parted, and for me, I was left with a handful of wonderful memories and the sadness of how long I knew it would be before we could spend time together again. Love? I think so.
• It was many years ago when the angels closed my grandparents' eyes. Once as a young teenager and again as a young adult, I remember the last time I saw them — peaceful, hands crossed on their chests, silent. Today when I reflect on those two days as well as their lives in general, the knot automatically forms in my throat, and the tears teeter on my eyelids. I think about the time we had together and yearn for just one more day. My heart aches for what they didn't have, and it rejoices for all they gave me. Love? I think so.
• The days my much younger family members were born — Jeff, Kim, Rebekah, Aaron and Kaitlynn — will always remain some of my favorite memories. I remember each day with clarity — the first time I saw their precious faces; the first time I held each of them; the way they smelled; the way they each instinctively grabbed my finger, holding on to someone who would cherish them forever. Love? I think so.
• I remember a day a few years ago when my mom's doctor told me about the serious surgery she was about to undergo. He cautioned me she may not survive. I'll never forget the moment, as I stared at him blankly and then had to re-enter my mom's hospital room and pretend like nothing was wrong. Fortunately, everything turned out OK, but that day, the doctor's words and the fear will forever live in my memory. Love? I think so.
• I've had quite a few pets in my life. Without exception, my animals have all been a huge part of my life. I can remember the days I brought each pet home, the days they took their last breath and everything in between. Love? I think so.
• My uncle was more like a brother to me. We spent countless years on the farm together, he and I. Greg was just 8 years older than me — young enough to understand me and old enough to look up to. When his untimely death occurred, a piece of each of my family members died too, knowing we would never be the same again. Love? I think so.
• A dear friend was told by a local doctor she might have cancer. After three long weeks of terror, the specialist delivered a "No cancer" diagnosis. We both cried in relief. Love? I think so.
When I think of love, the aforementioned items come to me repeatedly. Without exception, my eyes well up, and my heart does flip-flops. I didn't go looking for any of those scenarios. They all came to me. So do those things define love? I think so ... No, I'm absolutely sure of it.

USU's Equine Science Program Holds Second Annual Horse Auction; Open House
Thursday, Feb. 06, 2014
One of the yearlings (Lot #7) stands in front of the Matthew Hillyard Animal Teaching and Research Center in Wellsville, Utah. Photo taken in August 2013.
Utah State University's Equine Science Program will conduct an online production sale featuring 11 exceptionally bred yearlings and two-year-old horses, beginning Feb. 10 and ending Feb. 17. A preview day is Saturday, Feb. 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds of the auction will benefit the Equine Science Program.
"Our students assisted with breeding the mares that produced these horses and now they have been working with them to get them ready for sale," said Dirk Vanderwall, interim department head for the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences at USU. "It's been a great learning opportunity for them."
The sires of the yearlings and two-year-olds include racing champion Separatist, a sire with a lifetime earnings of $900,000, and cow-cutting horse Smooth As A Cat, a sire with $500,000 in lifetime earnings. Other sires include Rio Starlight, Chasin Firewater, Boonlight Dancer, RC Fancy Step and Hydrive Cat.
The two-year-olds have also been through the program's colt breaking class supervised by Jason Romney, a lecturer for the program with extensive experience and awards working and training horses.
Interested parties are encouraged to attend the auction's preview day at USU's Equine Education Center, located at 3580 South Highway 89/91 in Wellsville, Utah. No purchase can be made on the preview day.
To participate in the online auction or to learn more about USU's equine breeding program, interested parties can check the website for more information.

Testing Tenure: Let the Market Decide
This article was part of an invited open peer commentary on an article entitled "Is Tenure Justified? An Experimental Study of Faculty Beliefs About Tenure, Promotion, and Academic Freedom" by Stephen J. Ceci, Wendy M. Williams, and Katrin Mueller-Johnson, published in a 2006 issue of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, volume 29, pages 553–569.
Abstract of Ceci, et al.
The behavioral sciences have come under attack for writings and speech that affront sensitivities. At such times, academic freedom and tenure are invoked to forestall efforts to censure and terminate jobs. We review the history and controversy surrounding academic freedom and tenure, and explore their meaning across different fields, at different institutions, and at different ranks. In a multifactoral experimental survey, 1,004 randomly selected faculty members from top-ranked institutions were asked how colleagues would typically respond when confronted with dilemmas concerning teaching, research, and wrong-doing.

UP to 200 homes can be built in Longridge after an appeal was allowed by inspectors.
Cheshire-based Fox Strategic Land and Property Ltd were appealing against Preston Council's failure to make a decision on an application for homes at Whittingham Road.
The Planning Inspectorate has granted outline permission for a mixed use development.
In a report outlining the decision, inspector John Chase said: "The proposal is not clearly contrary to any adopted development plan policy drawn to the attention of this appeal.
"However, even if this were not the case, the council acknowledge that they do not have a five year supply of deliverable housing sites.
"Construction of new homes to help meet this shortfall of deliverable sites would be a clear benefit of the proposal, and, for the reasons set out under the main issue, there are no adverse impacts of such significance as to outweigh the presumption in favour of granting permission."
Preston Council did not offer any objections at the inquiry.

What do you get when you combine cloud computing and data center containers? You get NASA's Nebula, the space agency's new data powerhouse, which provides on-demand computing power for NASA researchers. Nebula was recently cited by federal CIO Vivek Kundra as an example of the government's ability to "leverage the most innovative technologies."
The Nebula application lives in a 40-foot container at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. The "data center in a box" was built inside a FOREST container from Verari Systems, which is filled with Cisco Systems' Unified Computing System and servers from Silicon Mechanics.
Science Compute Power on Demand
Nebula is a self-service platform built from open source software that provides high capacity computing, storage, and network connectivity for NASA research. "Nebula has been designed to automatically increase the computing power and storage available to science- and data-oriented web applications as demand rises," explains Chris C. Kemp, Chief Information Officer of NASA Ames Research Center.
"The containerized data center solution from Verari Systems and Cisco delivers the foundation for a next-generation cloud computing environment that is responsive to the needs of our developers so they can focus on mission success – without worrying about the capacity and availability of the computing infrastructure," said Kemp. "his solution is transforming how we think about NASA's future computing environment."
Momentum for Containers
Data center containers allow for rapid expansion of IT infrastructure, and can provide excellent energy efficiency by offering more precise control of airflow within the container. Microsoft and Google have used containers as building blocks in large data centers, while some enterprises, universities and research ;abs have used containers to add incremental compute capacity.
"Verari is simplifying data center deployment," says Dan Gatti, senior vice president of Worldwide Market Operations, Verari Systems. "Our customers are able to meet their computing and storage requirements much more quickly and easily than ever before. The planning cycle for a data center has been cut from two years down to 120 days, on average. And our customers are able to recognize huge cost savings in both OpEx and CapEx spend."
"Cisco and Verari Systems are delivering the data center of the future – today," said Brad Boston, senior vice president of Cisco Global Government Solutions Group. "As NASA's Nebula Cloud Computing Environment demonstrates, customers have a great deal of flexibility in how they integrate computing, storage, and networking capabilities with Cisco UCS to ensure a solution designed for mission success today and in the future."
