Swauger Creek fire near containment
July 20, 2014
Five structures are threatened by a 125-acre fire burning in timber and brush near Highway 395 in Mono County.
Residents were advised to evacuate the area of the fire 10 miles north of Bridgeport, which was reported 12:35 p.m. Thursday, according to the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch.
The structures threatened include homes and outbuildings. As of 8:35 p.m. Thursday none had been damaged or destroyed.
An air tanker, five hand crews, seven engines and a helicopter worked during the day on the Swauger Creek fire, which is expected to move downslope tonight. Forecast winds for Friday will move the fire upslope into uninhabited continuous timber.
No estimate of containment or control has been issued.
As of 6 p.m. Thursday firefighters have a line around 35 percent of the Clear Creek fire, and expect to have it contained by Saturday.

The number of personnel working the fire on the ridge between Jacks Valley and Clear Creek Canyon has dropped nearly in half to 80. High winds and dry fuels did cause some spotting on the fire this afternoon, but the spot fires were quickly contained. Three hand crews and three engines are working on the fire, where the northwest flank on the south side of Clear Creek Canyon is still active.
The size of the fire has been revised down to 187 acres due to improved mapping.
Firefighters expect to have a line all the way around the 633-acre Evans fire burning north of Reno at 10 p.m. Thursday.
The fire is 80 percent contained as 110 firefighters work on it.
Thursday's lightning storm caused fires near Genoa Peak and in the area of Old Clear Creek Road
Heavy rain fell near Toms Place in Mono County with .78 inches and pea-sized hail reported. A large mudslide was reported across Lundy Lake Road near Mono Lake.

We are pleased to have, for a limited time, an exceptional coffee from the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, Kainantu district. A majority of this coffee was grown on the Agoga Plantation, with additional cherries contributed by small holders from the Onaka Grower's Association. Ripe cherries from bourbon, mundo novo, and arusha trees are harvested and sent to the wet processing facilities on the same day. They are washed, pulped, and fully submerged in spring water for a 36-hour fermentation, after which they are washed again, and then laid to dry on raised beds.
This meticulous processing results in a clean, sophisticated cup with sparkling citrus acidity, and layers of savory fruit flavors: plum, cherry tomato, and blackcurrant. The aroma has a soft floral quality, reminiscent of chamomile; the mouthfeel is vibrant yet anchored by the syrupy caramel body, and the finish lingers of candied orange zest.

OpenStack is the platform upon which Rackspace has built its open cloud. The community-driven cloud operating system, which Rackspace co-founded, has sparked an open source cloud revolution. Enabling the community of hundreds of developers to contribute code and leverage the OpenStack cloud however they want has created a shift in how applications are developed. This blog series collects insight straight from key developers on the front lines about how they became involved in OpenStack and the open cloud, and what contributions they've made.
In this installment, DreamHost Senior Cloud Engineer Doug Hellmann discusses what drew him to OpenStack and open source and what he's done to contribute to the open cloud.
Tell us about yourself.
I am a Senior Cloud Developer with New Dream Network, LLC (DreamHost). I have been programming in Python since version 1.4 in the late 1990s, and have worked on a variety of Unix and non-Unix platforms for projects in fields such as mapping, medical news publishing, banking and data center automation. I am an active member of the Python Software Foundation, and helped found Python Magazine (unfortunately, now defunct). Last year I completed my first book, "The Python Standard Library By Example." I live in Athens, Ga. with my wife and two cats.
Why did you become involved in OpenStack?
I started contributing to OpenStack just before the Folsom Design Summit, after joining DreamHost in February of 2012. We are using OpenStack to build a public cloud service, so there are several of us contributing in different ways.
Tell us about your specific contributions to an OpenStack project (i.e. what the code was and what it did).
Most of my contributions have been on the new metering service, ceilometer. I have been involved at every stage, from requirements gathering, to design, to the ongoing implementation.
In addition to ceilometer, I have been working on the new unified command line project. I created the library cliff, which is serving as the basis for creating new command plugins to be run through the common main program.
I have also contributed some documentation patches to Nova, as well as some enhancements to the RPC API based on requirements from ceilometer.
Finally, I have done a lot of code reviews for openstack-common, and have core-reviewer rights there.
How does OpenStack change your approach to cloud development?
OpenStack has given me a chance to look at cloud development from a completely new perspective. Before joining DreamHost I was working on a closed-source tool for moving server images between service providers, so I was looking into the cloud from the outside as a consumer of the APIs. Now, I am working on an open source cloud service implementation and spending a lot more time thinking about how the cloud looks from the inside.
What are some of the benefits of an open collaboration effort among so many companies sharing open source code, like OpenStack?
The OpenStack community leaders have done an outstanding job of engendering a sense of cooperation in such a large group of contributors. The collegial attitude, combined with an openness to new ideas and a shared commitment to following the structured development process make it easy to join and contribute to the project in a meaningful way. As a result, the community has grown quickly and with a level of diversity exceeding the other open source projects I am familiar with, but without losing track of the shared goals that brought us all together in the first place.
The diversity of the contributors gave us more perspectives when gathering requirements for ceilometer, and resulted in some important design decisions early in the project that will make it a more flexible tool in the long term. Having such a large pool of collaborators also helps a lot during code reviews, since I can ask for input on how I am using tools or techniques that are new to me. It also means that DreamHost doesn't have to build something this complicated on our own. We have a group of developers working on OpenStack in different areas at the same time, so our input is heard where we have specific requirements, but we can also spread out and work on those requirements in parallel.
Thank you, Doug, for your contributions to OpenStack and the open cloud.
Are you a developer contributing to OpenStack? We'd love to hear more about what you're doing and why. Leave a comment here or contact me at email@example.com

Show Detailed Description
This randomized pilot clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving temozolomide and cixutumumab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving temozolomide and cixutumumab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.

In the blame game of early onset puberty in girls, many fingers have pointed to "hormones in milk" as the culprit. This claim really got going when recombinant bovine somatotropin was approved for commercial use in 1994.
Two or three weeks ago, a host of a Kansas City talk radio show was among the latest to spread this idea.
Now, a review published in the Frontiers in Endocrinology points to other potential causes. Read more.
One guilty party? Childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity has already been connected to numerous healthy issues in youth, including glucose intolerance, hypertension and high cholesterol. These metabolic conditions could impact the reproductive system, as well.
"The issue of so many humans being obese is very recent in evolutionary terms, and since nutritional status is important to reproduction, metabolic syndromes caused by obesity may profoundly affect reproductive capacity," Patrick Chappell, an assistant professor of veterinary medicine at Oregon State University and an author of the recent report, says in a news release.
Theories explaining the relationship between obesity and early puberty include the secretion of a key hormone called kisspeptin. Researchers believe that the secretion of kisspeptin may be disrupted in children who have excess fat, thereby impacting the timing of puberty.
More research into the link between childhood obesity and early puberty in girls is likely.
The review also explored other potential causes of altered puberty, including the disruption of circadian clocks, which are the body's natural rhythms of night and day. The secretion of hormones such as cortisol, testosterone and insulin has been shown to be affected by disrupted sleep-wake cycles. Early childhood exposure to hormones may also play a role in early puberty, but more studies are needed.
This isn't the first study to find other causes for early onset of puberty, rather than blaming "hormones in milk". In 2005, The New York Times debunked the claim, also pointing to obesity as the key player in early puberty in girls.
A 2001 study, led by Paul Kaplowitz, the author of "Early Puberty in Girls," found that girls with higher body-mass indexes were more likely to experience accelerated puberty timing.
Many studies have connected milk consumption with a lower body mass index, further debunking the claim that milk is responsible for reproductive issues in girls.

The thought of swinging a leg over a motorcycle for the first time is both daunting and thrilling. After all, motorcycles are serious machines. And—without proper training or safety gear—dangerous ones. But once you've taken a training course and earned the privilege to ride, a new world opens up. Even the most boring superslab commute can become a brain-engaging experience when the wind is in your face and your body is wrapped around a pulsating lump of internal combustion. And because just about every motorcycle is a fuel-economy champ, riding a bike makes financial sense.
The smartest new riders enroll in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCourse (msf-usa.org). "People who have never touched a motorcycle have the basic skills by the end of the weekend," says Tim Buche, president of MSF. "Our course helps them to make good decisions on the street. And it's better that they learn in a controlled environment where they can make mistakes without life-threatening consequences."
With the RiderCourse under your belt, it's time to invest in some gear. The Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) recommends that riders wear a DOT-approved helmet every time they ride. The folks at MIC (and the folks at PM) recommend always wearing a real motorcycle jacket, gloves, eye protection, over-the-ankle boots and sturdy pants. If it's warm where you live, there are plenty of light, breathable jackets available that are fully armored with pads—so there's no excuse to leave home without protection. And remember, even though the camaraderie among bikers is strong, always ride within your limits—not someone else's.
The bikes used in MSF classes are easy-to-manage 250-cc machines. "If you're new to street riding, you really want to start small, on a bike like one of these," says Ty van Hooydonk, director of communications at the MIC and a certified MSF RiderCoach. "You'll have a much easier time developing your skills on a nimble, responsive motorcycle that won't overwhelm you."
There are 250-cc bikes representative of every motorcycle type, from cruisers and sportbikes to standards and supermotos. So there's a good starter bike waiting for just about any rider. The best part? Many of these bikes are so much fun, they might earn a stall in your stable long after you've graduated to more powerful iron.
We gathered six terrific 250-cc starter bikes and tested them at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., with professional test rider Danny Coe, along with senior editor Mike Allen and contributing editor Basem Wasef, to find out which ones were quickest down the quarter-mile and which ones stopped in the shortest distance. We tested fuel economy on a route that combined highway, city and country roads near Los Angeles. And then we took the machines to Glendora Mountain Road, a tight and technical two-laner that challenges both rider and bike. (Yes, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.) And we found each model here has enough comfort, power and efficiency to be a great first bike. So which ones suit you and your riding style best? Let's find out.
POWERTRAIN: 249-cc liquid-cooled V-twin/5M
WHEELBASE (in.): 56.5
SEAT HEIGHT (in.): 32.7

NATURAL HABITAT: It needs a fairing for long-distance work, but it's game for anything else.
In this group of tiny two-wheelers, the Hyosung is a giant. Unlike many other 250-cc bikes, which are built on shrunken frames to fit smaller engines, the GT250 uses the same chassis as a full-size GT650. It's like a Korean version of a Ducati Monster, but includes some rough spots. The front brake feel is mushy, and it takes a fistful of lever to slow down the bike. And while the fuel-injected twin does pack reasonably good punch and sounds throaty, the engine's vibration buzzes the handlebars. Moderate speeds on twisty roads are comfortable, but the suspension wallows slightly when pushed. "The handling was quite vague throughout the Glendora Mountains," PM contributor Basem Wasef says. Hyosung says it'll fix the problem for 2011 models with a new rear shock. Even with its shortcomings, at $3699, the GT250 is one of the best bargains of the group.

Alternative Heating Sources -- Winter Preparedness Tips
If families use alternative heating sources during the cold weather (it's a good idea to have one available in case the furnace fails), the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department recommends the following precautions:
Be sure to allow proper ventilation and place it in a safe
location away from flammable objects. You should have at least
3 feet of clearance between your alternative heat source and
anything that could burn.
Always turn off alternative heat sources before leaving or going to
bed and do not leave children or pets unattended around any heating
source. This includes extinguishing the embers in the fireplace – and
never leave a fire burning unattended in the fireplace.
Use generators only as independent power sources. Keep them
outside and run a cord inside. Don't connect generators to main service
panels. This could injure or kill utility workers trying to restore
Use a sturdy screen in front of the fireplace to avoid sparks from
flying out and igniting nearby objects and burn only clean wood.
The immediate area in front of a fireplace (approximately 3 feet)
should not have a rug, carpet or exposed wood flooring.
Allow enough clearance between a wood-burning stove and combustible
materials such as walls, floors and ceilings.
Make sure the flue is open before lighting a fire.
Never close the flue while a fire is still smoldering.
Never use gasoline or lighter fluid to start a fire.
When lighting a gas fireplace, strike the match first, then turn on the
Burn only dry, seasoned wood and dispose of the cooled ashes in a
closed metal container outside of your home.
Don't use an extension cord with a portable heater. The current from
the heater could melt the cord and cause a fire.
Make sure the room has proper ventilation before using a kerosene
Since a kerosene heater has a constant open flame, it should not be
used in a room where there are flammable solvents, aerosol sprays,
gasoline or any type of oil.
Do not use a fluid that is not recommended for your heater. Refuel
outside and only after the heater has cooled down.
- Check the heater's wick every couple of weeks during the heating season. If the wick is dirty, clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Photo Challenge--Day 18
Well, in actuality, this is more of an explanation (or an excuse) as to why I blink each and every time a picture is taken. I can now BLAME MY MOM ; ) for my blinking habit. I think the little girl closest to the fireplace is me, although it really makes sense that it is my two oldest sisters, but it just doesn't look like them. It looks like me and my sister, Gayle.
Sidenote #1: A little genealogy update: Over the past few weeks I've learned some really great stuff, but recently learned something a part of me wishes I never knew ;
Sidenote #2: I love being with Allan when missionaries are set apart. (I go to take pictures) The other night he set apart a young man from one of our outlying wards. He is a great young man and will be a FABULOUS missionary. He comes from a wonderful family. There were lots of family and friends there for his setting apart and it was so fun to stand around after and listen to all the wonderful stories-especially from former missionaries who have served in various parts of the world. Allan was the Bishop to a couple of these missionaries when they went on their missions and now some of them are married with children. Where is the time going?

Jeff and I both have problems with blinking in pictures. Our wedding pictures are comical. Sometimes I just keep the sunglasses on and smile big. Then the blinking won't matter. :)

I am a squinter - It bugs me but when I try to keep my eyes open a little more I look a little too overly surprised - Ha Ha!
OK now we are all going to wonder what skeleton you found in the family closet - Hope it wasn't too awful!
Is your husband the Stake President? I think it would be so neat to watch missionaries be set apart. The only one I have ever been to is my own sons and it was awesome!

A couple of my kids blink in pics a lot. I have tried all kinds of techniques, but usually if they try too hard not to blink they just look psycho instead.

Next time you go to take pictures count backwards to everyone.
Tell them count on 1
Do 3-2-1 THEN take the picture.
That is such a great service to take pictures of all the departing missionaries.

How often do we have smiling pictures with our eyes closed? (Alot!) Love that you had that picture of your Mom!
Genealogy is so fascinating! Are you going to share what you didn't want to find out about?
What a fun "calling" you have taking missionary's pictures.

I'm always worried about squinting too!!! Especially with a flash, so I try not to use it, lol.
Love the pic---

What a wonderful picture of your Mom.
So great that you can take the pictures of the Elders.

Topic: Update from Ron Smith
It has been a little while since I posted about my condition, so this is a bit of an update. But first, a potted history.
Diagnosed with intra-hepatic cc in July 2006, I had a partial resection in August 2006. The cancer returned in February and the full right lobe was removed in March. Started a chemo trial in April (Capecitabine given as adjuvant chemotherapy) but within 4 days was in hospital with severe chest pains, later diagnosed as angina. Underwent angioplasty and the insertion of 2 metal stents into coronary artery in August. CT scans in July showed 3 minute marks on the liver and it was decided to have more scans after 8 weeks to see if there were any changes over that period.
The CT scans in October now showed 10 lesions so there is no doubt that the cancer has returned. Mr Powell, my surgeon is not convinced that the cancer is so aggresive that it has increased so dramatically in such a short time but, rather, suspects that there were more tumours in July but they just could not be seen. Anyway, the bottom line is that neither surgery nor RFA is an option this time. The lesions are too spread out that he could not get them all. Mr Powell did, by agreement, refer my case to Professor Peter Lodge at Leeds and he has now written back agreeing with this prognosis and recommending chemotherapy. This course of action had already been advanced and I have met with Professor Evans at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow. His recommendation is palliative chemotherapy and it is my choice whether to start it just now or wait until I have symtoms. Rightly or wrongly my simplistic view was that it must be better to start it sooner rather than later, so giving the drug the chance to act on smaller tumours. The down side, of course, is that just now I am feeling very fit and well and the drug could affect me badly, all without any actual benefit. The plan was to start a course of Gemcitabine in early December but my wife has now learned that she is to undergo surgery to remove her gall bladder on 10 December. Even with laparoscopic surgery she will be laid up for some weeks so the start of the chemo has been postponed until January.
The return of the cancer was not unexpected but is still very disappointing. As I have already written, I am feeling very fit and well, in fact have never really had any symptoms so it is difficult to envisage what lies ahead. I have been told that the end will come sooner rather than later but no one will/can put a timescale on it. However, the medical reports have succeeded in getting me various financial Social Security benefits in advance of the usual waiting periods. So the government department has been persuaded that my condition is terminal. Now there is a Catch 22 definition if one was ever needed. You can get the benefits early but you have to prove you are going to die soon!
A bit of a ramble but one final thought. We often read about the poor state of the National Health Service in the UK and how it compares with other countries. I have had 2 liver and 1 coronary surgeries. I have had and will continue to have a wide assortment of drugs and medications. I have regular CT scans and have had a PET scan. In all my visits and stays in hospitals and other health centres I have received, in my opinion, very professional, personal and friendly care. The total cost to me is my transport costs (say

ADRIAN Mander has warned red-hot Bromsgrove Sporting to beware struggling Studley.
The rampant Rouslers have won nine games in a row in the Midland Combination to make themselves the Premier Division's most potent side.
But while the Bees come to the Victoria Ground on the back of four draws and one defeat, Mander feels their rivals from Warwickshire will be a big test.
The manager said: "It wasn't long ago that Studley were chasing us for second spot and had games in hand.
"They've had a few too many draws but I know their manager Paul Smith very well and they will want to finish as high as they can."
Sporting were set to play West Midlands Premier title-chasers Lye Town last night in the Worcestershire Senior Urn, a team they had already knocked the Black Country side out of the FA Vase earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, Mander is hoping the current squad will stay together for next season.
While Sporting look set to finish second in the table behind Brocton, they want to go into the 2014-15 campaign with momentum.
Mander added: "We've got a good set up and there are one or two things I want to change next season."
Saturday's game against Studley kicks-off at 3.07pm in memory of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
Next Tuesday, Sporting entertain Feckenham in the Smedley Crooke Memorial Cup.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Don't Mess With Boat Titling — A Polk County Game Warden launched an investigation involving a missing boat. Evidence gathered showed a Livingston man forged boat transfer forms and a boat title. A warrant was served arresting the man for tampering with government record, (3rd degree felony). The boat was seized and impounded.
"The New Boat Blues" — A Cass County Game Warden was launching his boat on Wright Patman when he was told about a boat sinking just off of Bells Island. Three people and the new boat were recovered. Apparently the operators of the boat were first-time boat owners and had put the plug in the live well hole instead of the bilge hole, which caused the boat to sink.
Marked With Unlawfulness — A Cooke County Game Warden issued citations for possession of an alligator without an alligator permit and possession of an endangered species (timber rattlesnake). The animals were at a tattoo parlor in Gainesville. About 30 different species of poisonous snakes and pythons were also at the establishment. Cases are pending.
"I'm Not Going To Be Honest About Lying to You" — A Hunt County Game Warden was checking a fisherman when he noticed the fisherman getting nervous. He asked the fishermen how many fish he had caught. The man replied, "I'm going to be quite honest with you; I am two over the limit." A quick count of the fish showed he was 23 over the limit and several were undersize. Cases are pending.
You Can Run, But You Can't Hide — A Gonzales County Game Warden arrested someone on felony warrants. The subject had been in hiding from the warden since a poaching incident last hunting season. Warrants from Lavaca County were also served at the time of the arrest. Working with an informant, the warden was able to learn that the subject was coming to visit his mother for Mother's Day. The warden, along with other county officers surrounded the residence where the subject was staying. He tried to escape arrest by climbing out a back window but saw officers and went back into the house. He eventually came out and was taken to jail. The Attorney General's office also wanted the man for more than $8,000 in back child support. The warden said he told the subject that he needed to quit messing with outlaw deer hunting. He agreed, then laughed and said, "You know I can sell drugs, steal, rob, and shoot people, but I keep getting caught by the game wardens."
Diverse Duties of a Warden — A Victoria County Game Warden assisted the Victoria County Sheriff's Office in rounding up over 50 illegal aliens who fled from officers during a traffic stop of four vehicles. A majority of the individuals fleeing officers were near a rural elementary school causing a lockdown. Officers resumed the next day in locating more illegal aliens from another stop in which subjects fled.
Not Too Sharp — A Mitchell County Game Warden was traveling Interstate 20 when he observed a vehicle driving erratically. The vehicle crossed several lanes of the interstate and nearly struck some parked vehicles. After stopping the vehicle, the warden thought he was going to have to break the window to get the intoxicated man out of the vehicle. He was so disoriented that he couldn't find the door handle. Someone must have taken his keys because a steak knife was inserted into the ignition to start the car. After refusing all tests, the subject was transported to jail.
Not Using His Head — Guadalupe County Game Warden filed on an individual on Lake McQueeny for reckless operation of a motorboat. The individual was operating one of the old style PWC's while standing on his head.
Keeps Running into and OVER Game Wardens — Bowie County Game Wardens filed several cases, three of which were BWIs. First subject blew a .103 and a .101, the second subject — the same person who ran Warden Hervey over with a four-wheeler two years ago — blew a .140 and .140. The third subject, who claimed to have been credited with the first BWI ever written on Lake Wright Patman back in 1994, blew a .193 and a .180. The third subject is now also known as the first repeat BWI offender on the lake. Cases are pending.
Cheaters Never Win — Smith County Game Warden finally received disposition on a violator who cheated in a Christian Bass Anglers tournament on Lake Tyler last summer. The violator caught five largemouth bass from an exclusive private lake in Palestine. He kept them alive in an aerated live well system at his residence. The night before the tournament, he planted the five fish in a basket in the lake. He won the tournament with a 31-pound stringer and the big bass pot. The nearest contestant was 15 pounds away from the leader. The violator was convicted of tournament fraud and releasing fish from private waters into public waters. He received a $400 fine with three years probation, is unable to fish in public waters while on probation, forfeited his winnings, received 50 hours of community service, and must attend a Life Skills class.
Recklessness — A Brown County Game Warden investigated a boating accident where the operator of a motorboat was turning in large circles at half-throttle, and his friend on a PWC was jumping his wake. The PWC hit a wave, throwing the passenger off and then striking the motorboat. The operator of the PWC was airlifted to Shannon Hospital in San Angelo for internal bleeding and a cracked pelvis.
Tragedy — Game Wardens on Lake Bob Sandlin on a boating accident. A 62-year-old female and her 67-year-old husband were returning from fishing on their pontoon boat with a 90-horse power outboard motor. The female leaned over the side of the moving boat and noticed that the minnow bucket was being drug in the water. The husband attempted to stop the boat quickly, and the female fell off the bow of the pontoon. The husband panicked and accelerated forward. The prop of the motor lacerated her left thigh, abdomen, and cut off the female's leg just below the kneecap. The female was airlifted to Tyler and remains in critical condition.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – The track teams at North Bullitt and Bullitt East both were in meets last Tuesday after returning from spring break and the meets were only a few miles apart, but as of yet this season, the two squads have not battled each other.
That could change on Tuesday as all three Bullitt County track programs are scheduled to compete in an All-Comers Meet at Bardstown High School.

Book Buyback
Monday, May 20, 2013
Where and When
Time: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Location: Campus Bookstore
Contact: email@example.com
Event Information
During finals week and at the start of each semester we conduct a used book "Buy Back." During this "Buy Back" period, we pay up to 50 percent of the current new retail price for books that meet the following criteria:
- The Bookstore has received a Textbook Requisition for a future term prior to Buy Back.
- The book is the current edition and is in good condition.
- The book is not a fill-in or tear out type.
- The book is not overstocked from prior terms.
- Quantity purchased has not exceeded demand for next term.
If a book does not fit the above criteria, it is considered for a wholesale buyback. Wholesale means that the book is shipped out of state to a national used book wholesaler who will, in turn, resell it to another bookstore. The price you receive for a wholesale book is determined by national demand, which can be as high as 30 percent of the new retail value. Old editions and workbooks with pages missing or filled in generally have no wholesale value.
Newtown Campus: May 13 - 24 Mon. - Thurs. 10am to 7pm Fri. 10am to 4pm
Lower & Upper Campus: May 13 - 21 Mon. - Fri. 10am to 3pm Mon. Thurs. 5 to 7pm

Payback time for a power grab
For two years, Gov. Rick Snyder has claimed he would not seek right-to-work legislation but after the unions helped fight Matty Maroun's anti-bridge ballot proposals, he stabbed unions in the back.�Working with the Republican-controlled Legislature in an undemocratic manner with no public input or committee hearings, they rammed through the legislation. However, they showed that this was all done for political benefit by passing the bill as an appropriation so it cannot be challenged by a voter referendum.
No one should be surprised by any of this because Snyder was part of the political power grab here in Oakland County. State Rep. Hugh Crawford and state Sen. Mike Kowall sided with the governor on this. I guess it was payback time for the power grab.
Let us also not forget House Speaker Jase Bolger, who was involved in an election fraud case. Apparently, all levels of our state government are controlled by those who do not believe in democracy and would commit any deceit for political gain.

Why the djembe matters to me (Part 2)
In 2003, I attended a men's gathering where a group of men congregated in the Australian bush for a few days to talk about men's issues. There were various personal development workshops, ceremonies, yoga, singing, sports, dancing, meditation—you name it. One thing that is popular at such gatherings is drumming and, at this particular event, a group of Australians were (skilfully) playing Mandingue rhythms with a full dundun and djembe ensemble. I remember listening and being absolutely fascinated by the richness of the music, and by its depth and complexity. It was like no other music I'd ever heard before. Whenever there was drumming, I was there to listen and feel the music.
At the gathering, the musicians passed around flyers for an African concert that was taking place a few weeks later, and I decided to go along. As it turned out, Epizo Bangoura performed with the ensemble there, and I got to hear a master djembefola for the first time. This was the most jaw-dropping musical experience of my life. The emotional impact of the music was beyond anything I'd ever come across; the music touched me deeply and in ways I couldn't even begin to understand. I had never felt such strong energy and life force in any other music.
At the concert, someone had left a sheet of paper on a chair where people could add themselves to a mailing list for drumming lessons and, a few months later, I went to my first beginner's class. The first rhythm I ever learned was Kadan; my first accompaniment was the standard Ka-DiKa that is played for dununbas. While I was sitting there and struggling with my tones and slaps and with the off-beat kenkeni, I experienced a profound change: for the first time in quite a few years, I was truly happy, smiling, and completely in the moment. After 19 years of having suppressed the musical side of myself, the side that was so strong in my childhood and early adulthood, I had found the music again. It was like someone watering a desert: I was whole again, allowing my other side to live and breathe, and I had begun to heal the rift I had driven through my personality for so long.
After that first lesson, I was gone—hook, line, and sinker. I religiously went to my weekly drumming lessons, built my first djembe, went to every drum circle I could find, and started buying records of Mandingue drumming. My first CD was Famoudou Konate's "Rhythmen Der Malinke"—I remember being fascinated and bewildered by the complexity of the music on my first listening. There was so much that I didn't understand but that touched me deeply; I was determined to learn more and get under the skin of this music.
Three months after my first lesson, I heard of a week-long workshop with Wala, a performance group from Ghana. I debated with myself whether I should go for quite some time. The idea felt self-indulgent to me: what sort of responsible man would take a week off from work to bang a drum? I ended up listening to my heart instead of listening to my head and signed up for the workshop. At the workshop, the lead drummer Isaac "Tuza" Afutu was joined by the other three Wala musicians, and I spent a glorious week drumming and watching the dancers do their magic. Tuza passed around flyers for his inaugural tour to Ghana at the workshop. There was no way I was going to miss that so, less than a year after I had my first lesson, I found myself in Ghana for four weeks of drumming.
Since then, I've been drumming around 8-10 hours per week on average, taking lessons with various African teachers, and chasing workshops all over the country (as well as outside the country). I went to Africa a second time in 2008 (without joining a tour this time, spending a month each in Mali and Ghana). I drum whenever I can, whether I have a drum or not. The dashboard of my car, the kitchen bench, my thighs, and (when I'm lying in bed) my chest all make excellent practice surfaces. There is no such thing as a wasted minute in the shower or stopped in a car at a traffic light: might as well get on with practicing the latest phrase I'm working on by tapping on my thighs while I rinse off all that soap or wait for the lights to turn green. Being somewhat compulsive definitely helps when it comes to drumming…
I also found that I really like drum making, so I skin my own drums and do repairs for other people. Working with my hands like this is deeply satisfying to me, especially in contrast to all the cerebral work I do as a software engineer.
Not quite two years ago, I found myself being stuck in a rut: one of my two African teachers had left Brisbane and, shortly after that, my other teacher decided to go to Guinea for a few months. I suddenly was without a teacher and found myself stagnating: CDs and DVDs cannot replace a face-to-face teacher, and I felt that, musically, I wasn't going anywhere. In desperation, being without a local djembe teacher, I started taking conga lessons, hoping to find new inspiration in a new drum. Playing the congas was fun, but Latin percussion does not speak to me the same way that Mandingue percussion does, so I gave the congas a miss again after a while.
During the preceding year or so, quite a few people had been asking me to start teaching. I always responded that I wasn't ready yet. I felt that I didn't know enough about the music and culture, and I didn't want to become yet another incompetent "teacher" who claims to know the instrument when, in fact, he doesn't. Then two of my African teachers spoke to me at workshops I attended and told me "You have to start teaching." Mady Keïta was particularly adamant. When I told him that I didn't think I was skilled enough, he looked at me and said: "No-one but you can play your music. Not me, and not the greatest djembefola in the world. The music that is inside you is yours, and the only way I can play your music is if you show it to me. You must go and show your music to other people."
So, being stuck without a local teacher, I figured that teaching is a great way to learn, and I started giving drumming classes with Linda, a very experienced drummer in the local scene. Doing this has turned out to be a boon: by teaching, I find that I indeed learn a lot: to teach, I have to look at a rhythm in a lot more detail than I would otherwise; I have to understand and be able to play all the parts, and know the cultural background of the rhythm. Before teaching a rhythm, I hunt down all the recordings of the rhythm that I can find and try to tease out what is common and what is individual among the different artists playing that rhythm. In other words, teaching really got me out of my rut and has given me new impetus to keep moving.
And teaching has turned out to be very rewarding in other ways. For one, because Linda and I teach together and have very different energy, I think the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts: some students respond more to Linda's female energy than mine and vice versa, and our different teaching styles mean that people get two goes at learning a rhythm, picking things up from the teacher who better meets their needs. It has been very rewarding to see the two of us complement each other and having fun along the way.
As a teacher, I want to pass on the joy I get from this music, and I feel that I'm making a difference to people's lives. It is satisfying to watch our students as they arrive at a class and as they leave it: when they leave, there is a spring in their step that wasn't there when they arrived, and the smiles on their faces during class speak volumes. I am certain that, for most of our students, class time is the only time when they are completely in the moment, experiencing only what is happening right here and now, without thinking about anything else at all.
Another rewarding thing about teaching is that a community has formed around the classes: people meet at class, strike up friendships and, before you know it, they have formed this community where people meet privately, invite each other to parties and birthday celebrations, and generally hang out with each other. The classes don't just teach people drumming, they also help to enrich their social life.
Late last year, I attended my first Mini-Guinea camp with Mamady Keïta in San Diego. Mamady is the most inspiring teacher I have met. He has the ability to bring out the best in his students, giving them confidence and getting everyone to perform at their 120% level. I asked Mamady whether he would accept me as a student for his certificate in Mandingue drumming and, to my relief, he accepted. It'll take me quite a while to learn all I need to pass the exam. But, as far as I am concerned, there is no rush. Getting that certificate is a personal goal, and while working towards it, I have the perfect excuse to learn more about the music and improve as a musician and teacher.
Over the past six years, the djembe has made a profound difference to my life. I cannot begin to enumerate all the lessons the djembe has taught me, but here are a few of them:
Without the djembe, I never would have set foot on Africa. Being there taught me so much about a very different culture. Africa also was the first time I saw poverty up close and personal. Man, that is a very different thing from seeing poverty on TV… Being in Africa taught me about the human capacity for happiness. Despite being poor, many of the people I met in Africa seem to live happier lives than many westerners. Not that these people don't suffer from poverty—they do. Yet, they taught me much about the unimportance of money as a source of happiness.
I made many friends in Africa, friends who sometimes need my help. I've taken on a number of projects as a result, helping friends get an education and empower themselves, so they can take better control of their lives. This is a very direct form of charity, and helping this way is rewarding and personal—much more personal than writing an annual cheque for Community Aid Abroad.
The djembe has made me part of a community. I had few friends before I started drumming: working 70-hour weeks is not conducive to maintaining personal relationships. Since I started drumming, I have made many friends that, otherwise, I never would have had a chance to meet.
The djembe has taught me many lessons about humility, patience, tolerance, and communication. Being part of a group of musicians requires a mindset that is very different from the mathematical and rational thinking that is so important in my everyday job. The djembe has taught me about the importance and value of these non-rational qualities.
The djembe has taught me to be playful again, playful like a child who revels in the joy of discovery and wonder, without fear of failure.
The djembe has helped me to heal myself. I am now a happier person than I was six years ago; the djembe was an integral part of this process.
The djembe has changed my life, and continues to change it. I have no idea where it all is going to lead. And I don't care—the djembe has taught me that the journey matters more than the goal. I'm thankful for that lesson: without the djembe, I might never have learned it.

A marriage would be the last significant airline merger in a U.S. industry dominated by a handful of powerful, mega-sized carriers.
American Airlines, a storied but struggling carrier that sought bankruptcy protection fifteen months ago, will merge with US Airways, creating what will be the largest carrier in the world, according to The Wall Street Journal and Dallas Morning News..
After weeks of discussion and speculation, the boards for the two carriers voted on Wednesday to combine. The deal, which The Journal says will be announced Thursday, would still need the approval of the bankruptcy court overseeing American's restructuring, as well as federal regulators.
US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher would not comment on the report.
If the tie-up is approved, the marriage of US Airways and American would represent the last significant merger in the U.S. airline industry.
Delta and Northwest, United and Continental, and Southwest and AirTran all paired up in the last five years. A union of US Airways and American would mean that four mega-sized carriers control 87% of the U.S. airline industry's seats, according to Seth Kaplan, an analyst for Airline Weekly, an industry trade publication.
Less competition may lead to higher fares in some markets, some industry observers say.
"For consumers, you have a smaller, less competitive industry with somewhat higher fares than you would have had the mergers not happened,' Kaplan says.
But "on the other hand, you have airlines that can now invest in their product,' like roomier seats in the premium cabins or better entertainment, Kaplan says. "For years U.S. airlines were just trying to get through the day. They didn't have money for those types of things.'
Details of the deal have yet to emerge, but US Airways CEO and Chairman Doug Parker has said that a newly combined airline would hold on to American's iconic name, and locate its headquarters in American's hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.
In the wake of a merger, a smaller hub, such as US Airways' foothold in Phoenix, may see some service migrate to a larger portal like Dallas, American's base. But as of January, US Airways and American had overlapping non-stop service on only a dozen routes. That means they likely won't have to pare many destinations.
Instead, passengers on the newly merged airline will be able to fly across a vastly expanded map that would likely include US Airways' east coast hubs of Charlotte and Philadelphia and American's strong international presence across the Atlantic and in Latin America. The combined carrier will also likely stick with American's frequent flyer program, the industry's oldest and one of its most popular.
"In the short-term, frequent flyers will benefit from more routes and more choices, and a management that will likely want to reassure them that the benefits they're used to won't change,' says Gary Leff, co-founder of the frequent flyer community Milepoint.com and author of the ViewFromTheWing.com blog.

Conservative News Update:
I want everyone to start searching and reading Twitter comments about revolution, anarchy, anarchists and Capitalism. Many of these radicals are educated/brainwashed and they are not the usual name calling, ignorant Democrat that you see on the Internet. Many of you can learn a lot from reading and understanding their propaganda, because Conservatives are not explaining this to any of you. This is where Fox News has failed.
It is important to understand their strategy and what the propaganda looks like, because many of you are embracing Libertarians as Conservatives and they really aren't Conservative. What Conservative enables terror States like Iran? Fools that worship Rand Paul do; that is who.
I have learned plenty by studying propaganda for the past 11 years and this is why many Professors follow The Conservative Monster Twitter page. The media refuses to dig into the background of these ass shooters, because most of them are Marxist Revolutionaries that have been brainwashed to be anti-social haters of Capitalism and freedom.
Leftists are trying to prevent using words like Socialism, Communism or Marxism, because they want everyone to lower their guards to the threat. This is exactly what the fall of the USSR was all about.
Ronald Reagan was a great many, but he didn't defeat Communism. The Soviet Union staged their collapse to lower their guard of the West. It was a brilliant strategic move that had to be huge for people of the world to buy it. After all, proxies of the Soviet Union are still alive and well such as Iran, North Korea and Cuba.
The Communists also are using slave labor in countries such as in China, India and other parts of Asia, but Liberals try to paint this as Capitalism. Sure, it is Capitalism with slave labor. The children of wealthy Liberals won't be working for those slaves wages, your children and grand children will be instead.

ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST >> A young woman was injured and a young man believed dead after their car plunged hundreds of feet over the side of Glendora Ridge Road on Friday in the forest north of San Dimas and caught fire, authorities said.
The crash was first reported about 12:30 a.m. on Glendora Ridge Road between Glendora Mountain and Mount Baldy roads, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Andy Berg said. A caller used a nearby pay phone to report seeing a fire and possible car crash.
"An unidentified driver was driving a Scion XB, traveling westbound on Glendora Ridge Road, west of Mount Baldy Road, at an undetermined speed," California Highway Patrol Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said in a written statement. "The vehicle veered to the right, left the roadway, and struck a dirt embankment before rolling down the hillside."
Rescuers arrived at the scene to find an injured 19-year-old San Juan Capistrano woman, who had managed to crawl free from the mangled vehicle, according to sheriff's and California Highway Patrol officials. She told officials that her friend, a young man of about the same age, was still inside the car.
The woman was flown to a hospital by helicopter for treatment, Berg said. An update on her condition was not available.
The crash touched off a small brush fire where the car came to a rest, more than 600 feet down from the side of the road, Berg said. Firefighters extinguished the flames with the use of a water-dropping helicopter.
Officials discovered burned human remains inside the car just before 7:30 a.m. and summoned coroner's investigators to the scene, California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Jacobs said. The body was believed to be that of the driver.
The CHP is investigating the crash, with help from sheriff's search and rescue team members equipped to access the rugged terrain, officials said.

Headlines (News Releases)
Wilfrid Laurier University Press author finalist for Governor Generals Award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Oct 3/13| For Immediate Release
Brian Henderson, Director
Clare Hitchens, Publicist
WATERLOO The Memory of Water, by Allen Smutylo, published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press, has been named a finalist for the Governor Generals Literary Awards in the non-fiction category. Also a finalist in the Adventure Travel category in the 2013 Banff Mountain Book Competition, the book chronicles the authors adventures around the globe in some of the wildest and most captivating waters imaginable. The book is part of the WLU Press Life Writing series.
"The Governor General's Literary Award nomination is, indeed, quite an accomplishment for the WLU Press, and a real indication of the quality of authors that we attract," said Abby Goodrum, vice-president: research.
The Memory of Water probes a crucial and contemporary issue that of our relationship to water and the wildlife and human life that depend upon it. In the Arctic, Smutylo is attacked by a polar bear, stalked by a rogue walrus, and nearly drowns in ferocious waters. But his Arctic stories also celebrate human creativity as they recount the life of the pre-Inuit people who, hunting in a changing environment, endured many hardships and developed new technologies, such as the sea kayak, to cope.
"This is a well-deserved achievement for Allen Smutylo and the Wilfrid Laurier University Press," said Max Blouw, Laurier president and vice-chancellor. "I thoroughly enjoyed the interesting set of vignettes from the perspective of an artist who loves water environments and is concerned about water quality and conservation. It is part autobiography, travelogue, issue insights and advocacy."
Other stories in The Memory of Water include an account of Smutylos sojourn in a small Georgian Bay fishing village as a young artist, an adventure on an urban river in southwestern Ontario, and a portrayal of the complex underwater world of the South Pacific. Travelling the River Ganges in India, the author finds that a massive misuse of water is complicated by a billion peoples faith-based adoration of the same water.
We were very pleased to learn of the Governor General nomination for The Memory of Water and are excited for Allen, said Brian Henderson, director of WLU Press. The book reveals the plasticity and capacity of life writing and champions our series in that field.
A celebrated artist, Allen Smutylo is a previous winner of the Banff Mountain Book Award in the Adventure/Travel category for his book Wild Places, Wild Hearts: Nomads of the Himalaya. His art can be found in galleries across Canada. He lives in Wiarton, Ontario.
The winners will be announced on November 13, with a celebration on November 28 at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
The Orenda by Joseph Boyden, 2011-2012 Laurier writer-in-residence, is a finalist in the fiction category. The 2013 Governor Generals Literary Award finalists can be found at http://ggbooks.canadacouncil.ca

DOUGIE Freedman hailed super subs Craig Davies and David Ngog for their starring roles in Saturday's thrilling derby victory over Burnley.
The two substitutes netted to help Wanderers come from behind to claim three vital points at the Reebok – their first league win of 2013.
Their impact was felt all the more profoundly because Freedman's decision to bring the pair into the action after 58 minutes, for Marvin Sordell and Steve de Ridder, had been met with a chorus of jeers from the home fans.
But Freedman vowed to stick by his beliefs.
"In this game you've got to make decisions, sometimes brave decisions," he said. "If it goes against you then you can't shy away from that.
"I understand the fans – because I'm a football fan myself – they want their favourite player to stay on the pitch.
"But I had studied the game, I had studied Burnley, and I knew their tempo decreases as the game goes on. And I felt we needed to change the dynamics of how we played in the last half hour.
"People will talk about Craig Davies and he was great for us up top when he came on but, to me, David Ngog was the key to it.
"He drifted around in midfield and opened the game up a little bit.
"I'm not going to shy away from decision making. Sometimes I'll get it wrong, but I'll always do it for the best of the football club."
Freedman said after the game that he had no choice but to withdraw Belgian winger De Ridder just under an hour into his full debut for the club.
The on-loan Southampton winger drew praise for his industrious performance on the right wing but the Whites boss said his lack of match action meant he would not have lasted the course.
"I had to take him off, he hadn't played any football," Freedman said. "Anyone who has shouted to the back of my head to keep him on, I wanted to keep him on, but he's not played enough games.
"I know on 60 minutes he'll tire. And the medical people tell me, if I keep him on longer, then we'll have a hamstring or a tear."
Nottingham Forest are next up, where Freedman will turn his attention to eliminating a statistic that hangs heavily around Wanderers' necks – the lack of back-to-back wins in the league since March last year.
"The next step is getting back in work Monday morning, just the same as always," he said.
"Consistency has been there in the performances but that result might just lift a little of the psychological aspect, especially at home.
"We've got to build on that success, but most importantly keep performing the way we have been."

Chloe Resort 2014 | Pictures
Chloé Resort 2014: A Barefoot Attitude (Without the Bare Feet)
"Bare-feet attitude of nonchalance, charm, and sport" and "fresh, salty with a glow" were just two of the Resort notes supplied by Chloé designer Clare Waight Keller. Of course, one look at the collection is enough to surmise the same. The collection's focus was split between two overarching themes: fluid tailoring and a more feminine take on the label's signature sportif aesthetic. Katharine Hepburn-style wide-leg pants, rounded coat edges, and collarless blouses served as evidence to the former, while the noticeable abundance of white guipure lace, multicolored candy stripes, and pretty embroidered details certainly pointed to the latter. The accessories — including the C bags (Clare, Charlotte, and Carey), loose gold chains, neoprene boots, and T-strap wedges — bridged the gap between the two themes, and if nothing else, maintained the beautiful, laid-back vision of Waight Keller's Resort collection.
