Some drivers want maximum fuel efficiency, while others desire more punch at the pedal. That's why the 2017 Ford Escape offers three engine choices: the 2.5L with intake variable cam timing (iVCT), standard in the Escape S (FWD); the highly efficient 1.5L EcoBoost®, standard in Escape SE, and available on Escape S (4WD); and the higher-performance 2.0L Twin-Scroll EcoBoost® engine is standard in the Escape Titanium, and available in the Escape SE. Both EcoBoost® engines feature Auto Start-Stop technology. And now, thanks to this year's increased 61.7L fuel tank capacity, you enjoy more time on the road and spend less time at the pump.
Redesigned for 2017, the new Ford Escape boasts an exciting, up-for-anything vibe. Available features such as HID headlights, fresh new wheel choices and the Sport Appearance Package, add instant ready-for-whatever appeal. The interior is designed around you, with a host of comfort-minded amenities including an available heated steering wheel, available leather trim and more. 60/40 split folding rear seat backs, standard in all models, provide the people/cargo-carrying flexibility you look for in a versatile SUV.
The 2017 Ford Escape is smarter than ever. The available technology features can do just about everything. Newly available SYNC® Connect* allows you to start, lock, unlock and locate your vehicle from virtually anywhere using your smartphone. Available SYNC® 3 features voice-activated technology that helps keep you connected while you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Escape tech features even help alert you to unintentional lane drift or assist with manoeuvres into tight parking spaces.
The 2017 Ford Escape is always up to the task at hand, whether it's towing a 3,500-lb. (1,587kg) trailer, accommodating a full complement of passengers and their cargo, or moving along confidently on rainy or snow-slick roads. The Ford Escape offers great versatility, with rear seats that fold easily when the need for cargo space takes priority. The available Intelligent 4WD System adjusts torque distribution front to rear to deliver optimum traction. Torque Vectoring Control helps balance the power through selective braking. And trailer sway control helps you tow with greater peace of mind.

Futuremark has completed the new 3DMark for Windows and has confirmed to Legit Reviews that it will be released on February 4th! The new 3DMark is said to be Futuremark's most advanced benchmark ever and will include the ability to monitor FPS, GPU, and CPU temperatures along with CPU power and clock speeds during benchmark runs. Many see these new features being useful for determining overclocking stability.
Futuremark is also planning to release 3DMark on mobile platforms including Windows RT, Android, and iOS at a later date. This is really interesting to some as it will allow you to compare mobile platforms to the desktop! For more information on the future of 3DMark, be sure to check out the 3DMark website here.
After a feverish few weeks of polishing and honing, the Windows version of our new 3DMark is finally complete and ready for release. The launch will be on Monday February 4, 2013 at 18:00 UTC. This date is now public and can be shared with your readers. I cannot confirm launch dates for the Android, iOS and Windows RT versions just yet, but we are aiming for a short gap between releases, think weeks rather than months.

First of all: Great forum!
My name is Danny I'm from the Netherlands. I have been interested in buddhism for a long time now, but only started practicing it seriously about six or seven months ago, I don't have guidens as in a teacher, or a Sangha, but will go for a retreat very soon. I'm still looking for the right retreat to develop my Satipatthana practice.
As for my background; I've been both christian and atheist, I really have put a lot of effort and thinking in what could be the path for me, and buddhism seems to be it. Everything I vaguely knew, the Buddha seems to have clarified, and is in the Pali-canon.
Thank you for reading and see you in one of the threads!

Skin: The New Status Symbol

In June 2007, the first-ever tanning salon opened in Beijing. Called DB Salon, it serves legions of women under 30 with a strangely specific goal: to have the caramel coloring of American pop princess Christina Aguilera.
In India, Bollywood stars are going for the burnt-sienna hue one sees in Malibu, achievable only via a bottle.
And in Japan, bronzing goods account for $140 million in sales.
Has the West's fixation with tanning finally challenged the East's centuries-old belief that pale skin is synonymous with high social standing?

text: College advice for your senior year By Morgan Thomas, Valley High School May 17, 2012 Story Share Are you a junior in high school waiting impatiently for your senior year? Are you absolutely terrified because you don't know if you have all of your required courses? Does the idea of filling out scholarships frighten you? In this article, you will find some information to make senior year a little easier for you.Every school has a specific number of credits in required courses you have to complete. At Valley, our required courses are English, math, science, history, physical education, health, art, keyboarding and a foreign language.It's a good idea to ask your guidance counselor for a copy of your transcript, so you can see what credits you have and what ones you still need. Make sure you know what classes you've passed and if there are any you will need to retake next year or in a credit recovery/summer school program.In high school there are two different tracks you can take: professional and vocational. Professional gets you ready for college, and vocational focuses more on preparing you for a trade. Bother are beneficial for your future, but they each require different credits for graduation.You also have some great academic opportunities in high school like advanced placement classes and the National Honor Society. Valley High School counselor Matthew High says you should take advantage of those."AP gives you the chance to earn college credits, and National Honor Society looks good when applying to college," he said.Taking AP classes in high school is a good way to earn college credits for less. You will usually have to pay to take the AP exam (unless your fee is waived or the school covers it), but it costs much less than paying for the class in college. When applying for college, you will need to have taken the SAT and/or ACT. The SAT is given in October, November, December, January, March, May and June. The ACT is given in September, October, December, February, April and June.These tests can be overwhelming, and you're going to have to study. You can find questions online at www.sat.collegeboard.org and www.actstudent.org. You can also talk to your counselor to see if he or she has handouts available for you.Different colleges and programs will require different grades, but it's a good bet you'll be safe if you get at least a 3.0 GPA. When it comes to your major, don't worry if you don't know what you want to do."A person in college in their first year is more likely to change their majors twice before deciding," said High.Both the SAT and ACT websites have sections for college planning where you can see advice on choosing and paying for college and more. They also have checklists so you can make sure you're doing what you need to be doing every year.Scholarships and financial aid are important if you're applying for college. You can talk to your counselor for help with both of these. Also, for more information on scholarships, look on the Internet at a site like www.fastweb.com. For financial aid, visit www.fafsa.gov.High also had some words of advice for seniors who are college bound: work on getting organized over the summer."You don't know how many kids go to college and begin failing classes just because they're not organized," he said.

Office of Undergraduate Research
A quality undergraduate research experience is unparalleled in its effectiveness in bringing about an intellectual maturity in students and providing them with experience useful for academic and career path decisions. Undergraduate research develops problem-solving skills and promotes the integration of what students learn in the rather compartmentalized classroom experience. As a nurturing, tier-1 research institution with a world-class medical center and a strong research program, the University of Rochester is an ideal place for undergraduate research.
The Office of Undergraduate Research exists to broaden and strengthen the undergraduate research program at the University by striving to increase opportunities for undergraduate research, to lower barriers to undergraduate research, and to promote the recognition of quality undergraduate research and undergraduate research mentoring.
Upcoming Dates
- April 4, 2018National Conference on Undergraduate Research
- April 20, 2018Undergraduate Research Expo

Maybe Lew will have some interesting thoughts. Maybe he decided some years back that scrawling a series of O's is, when you sign a lot of things, one way to save time. Maybe his signature started out as a way of subtly spoofing the institution in which he's spent his life, government, which some think tends to be staffed by a bunch of zeros. Maybe the signature is Proustian: Those cupcakes were his Madeleine, and replicating the squiggles makes him happy. Maybe he is a little eccentric, or a little hidden—if you didn't want people to think they can read Jack Lew, you could start with having them not be able to read Jack Lew's signature.
There is the practical question: Is he going to scribble those O's on the dollar bill when he is Treasury Secretary? Or is he going to give us a new Jack Lew signature that looks like it's saying something like Jack Lew?
He should do that. Half of America thinks the country is broke, with only zeros in its bank account. Why have something that reminds people of that fear, or seems to underscore it, on your currency? From this high-spending government it may seem like a taunt. Or an admission.

I started eating edamame a couple of years ago and it's hard to imagine life without it. I often rely on this quick cooking form of fiber and protein for a snack food or part of a meal and I love that it is frozen so it's always ready for use and you don't have to worry about it going bad.
Edamame is just another name for soybeans. You can buy them in pods or as beans already taken out of the pod. To cook them you simply boil water and toss them in for 3-4 minutes, then you drain them and eat them. You can sprinkle a little kosher salt or soy sauce on top for flavor but they are great just plain too.
Soybeans are a very nutritious food. In just 1/2 cup of beans (about 1.5 cups of pods) you get 120 kcals, 4 grams of unsaturated fat, 5 mg sodium, 420 mg potassium, 4 grams of fiber and 13 grams of protein. They are also cholesterol free and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and the phytochemical isoflavones.
Grab a bag of edamame the next time you shop. Once you buy it, you'll be sure to benefits of this delicious food!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird
They Sacto trade is better, but both suck.
How do both of the trades suck? We get a SF who can shoot in Peja, and could get a good scorer off the bench in Bonzi. The Knicks trade isnt all that, but its not bad. I would do both of these trades.
I guess I wouldn't be that sad if we did the Sacto trade, but I really don't want Bonzi all that much... I'd rather keep Pollard (despite the fact that they probably really like him still)Originally Posted by Jermaniac
I hope that Peja recovers if we trade for him though...
If there are going to be "reports" that a deal is done or imminent, it will be coming out of the weekend. We'll likely hear about it Monday morning.
I recall hearing about the Jax for Harrington trade on a saturday night. I think it may have been reported earlier in the day, but it was a saturday.Originally Posted by Unclebuck
Neither trade is great, but the Sac trade is better than sitting Artest and getting bench fodder later. I like the way Peja would spread the floor...and he is a good second option. He might be a liability on D. Bonzi will be a good player, not spectacular. I would hate to not have Polly when we faced Yao or Shaq, however...Originally Posted by Jermaniac
Donnie keeps his hand very close to his chest. I don't believe anything unless it comes from Donnie.
Bonzi Wells is no angel either, don't get why he would be worth it. Peja is soft.
Crawford is decent, but if him and Q-Rich came along, there wouldn't be enough shots for everyone.
This article says it was on a Thursday.Originally Posted by BlueNGold
It was a Saturday; Suaveness came and told us it was announced during the forum party, which was most definitely on a Saturday.
I agree with most of this, and seth addresses my biggest concern. Losing Pollard, while not much on the surface, gives us one less bruiser for Shaq and any other good big man. If we pull the Sacto trade off as reported (fake or not), and then move Jax and whatever for a good quality big, I'll feel a whole lot better...Originally Posted by Naptown Seth
BTW, did I mention that I LOVE the fact that it is being reported that Mo-Ron wants to stay now and we are still trading him?! It's just like when your girlfriend breaks up with you, leaves you doubting yourself, and then when you finally come back to your senses and move on, she comes back wanting you again....NO GREATER FEELING!! (Hey, it happened to me once!)
Unless someone comes on here to confirm it's real, I'm editing the title so it's no longer misleading.
Neither deal is terrible, but I'd rather have one All-Star than two decent players.
Plus, I'm afraid we may implode if we did the Sacto deal. Too much friction there with headcases and the Charmin-soft Peja.
Pass on both, IMO.
Peja+Saras... Yumi! I've allready "made a statement" on this one.
Bonzi was silky when Sabas was at Portland... So, there will be no big problems for Saras...I think that Bonzi is aware of "Homo Lituanus",too
Wait a minute, whoa! Whoa! You don't actually believe this crap! Do you? Dummy! Brain washed alien souls? E-meter and thetan levels? Those people out there buy that crap. But I thought you were smart enough to see what's really going on!What's better than telling people a stupid story and having them believe you? Having them pay you for it, stupid!
Replacing Ron with Peja obviously hurts us defensively, but our offense becomes 10x more dangerous. Especially if Bonzi Wells were a part of the deal. Bonzi's a better scorer than Jackson, and a JO/Peja/Bonzi scoring punch would be as good as any in the league.
I'd rather have Nate Robinson and one of Crawford/Q. I'd probably prefer Crawford. Does NY have a 1st round pick in 06 or did they trade it. Make them throw that in unprotected as well.

Nothing can stop you. No jump too big, no trail too gnarly. The FOCUS SAM crowns you king on descents and deftly takes you to up to every single mountain peak. Explore and let the FOCUS SAM stray from the trails. The German Enduro Champion comes from our FOCUS Trail Team, with the FOCUS SAM dominating the podium. One winner, a whole load of acclaim. At races, from customers, in the press. Let the FOCUS SAM convince you.
German Enduro Mountainbike Magazin tested the sickest bikes money can buy. Surely, our FOCUS SAM C Team is a must in this list. Dream bike out of the box. What the testers liked most? The super handling and the stylish design of the FOCUS SAM. Read more
"The top-of-the-range model from FOCUS leaves absolutely nothing to be desired and is equipped with only the very highest quality components." The German magazine "Mountainbike Rider" put our FOCUS SAM Team through its paces in an intensive individual test. The testers were clearly enthusiastic from the word "go". Read more
The top model of the FOCUS SAM already won a lot of prices, now the LTD version follows. The ENDURO Mountainbike Magazin had a look in detail how the FOCUS SAM LTD fares when they take it away from the race tracks of the world. Very well is the answer! The testers spotted strengths in super smooth riding, balanced suspension and aggressive geometry. Read more
With the FOCUS SAM, you can take part in Enduro races and test your limits in (high) alpine regions. The FOCUS SAM is a full-suspension Enduro bike with 160 mm suspension travel that is suitable for racing and fun rides too. It is designed more for downhill use than uphill use.
The SAM features geometry that has been primed for enduro. No corners cut, infinite testing, overwhelming success
Our Twin Bearing System at the rear is robust and low maintenance, ensuring no premature end to the fun you're having with the SAM.
Our state-of-the-art rear with 160 mm travel is an all-round winner: sensitive on descents, supportive in sprints and efficient on climbs.
There are two parallel ball bearings in the articulation of the rear triangle. The FOCUS Twin Bearing System compensates for lateral forces acting on the rear triangle. This increases the frame stiffness and ensures longer bearing life.
The cables and hydraulic lines are routed inside the frame for protection, creating a neat look and extending the service life of the lines for perfect gear shifting and braking at all times.
Pressfit 30 combines the benefits of the BB30 and Pressfit bottom brackets. Pressfit 30 features a preassembled seal in the cups to further prolong the bearing life.
The tapered head tube increases the headset stiffness while also reducing the steering weight.
Butted aluminium tubes are designed so that the walls are thicker at areas under more stress, with a constant external diameter. FOCUS aluminium tubes are triple-butted. This reduces the weight without impacting on the stability.
To ensure that all bike sizes offer the same level of quality, all frame sizes on offer are designed individually. This Stable Stiffness Per Size (SSPS) production method ensures that all sizes provide the perfect ratio of weight to stiffness.
Thanks to ongoing checks and the use of the latest manufacturing methods, we can offer the very best carbon quality with a long service life. For this reason, we can offer a 6-year manufacturer's warranty on all FOCUS carbon frames and forks.
Our Factory Spec is a specific model within a bike family that a FOCUS employee has equipped to his or her specifications. Our employees are enthusiastic cyclists. They have big plans year in, year out, and spend a lot of time in the saddle. They have fine-tuned their Factory Spec model specifically for such biking adventures – and the end result is such great value for money that they'd happily recommend it to their best mates too. The special design is the jewel in the crown of the Factory Spec model.
What do Enduro professionals do in their spare time? Mountainbiking, of course. But with a difference - as the video shot by our Focus Trail Team shows. When it's not about results ... Germany's Enduro Champion Fabion Scholz tells the story behind it.READ THE STORY

Visual Basic is the most widely used programming language for creating Windows applications. Why? Because it's easy to learn, and doesn't require you to memorize difficult commands like other programming languages. In this course, you'll learn how to write Windows applications and programs using the Visual Basic programming language and the Visual Basic development environment.
Creating a Windows application ordinarily requires you to write lengthy and complex code. But, as you'll see, the Visual Basic development environment relieves you of this task. Instead, it enables you to create the application program and its components literally with the click of a button or menu item. It even writes all of the necessary code to get the application started for you, which you can then view and fine-tune.
Over the course of 12 lessons, you'll learn the building blocks of programming, including using variables to store data, control structures, and loops. You'll find out how to use the large function library built into Visual Basic, including the .NET Framework, as well as how to write and use your own functions. You'll also see how to use Windows' large and varied library of controls and how to access files and handle errors. And since Windows applications are event-driven and everything in Visual Basic is treated as a programmable object, you'll learn about event-driven and object-oriented programming—concepts that are important not just in Visual Basic, but in other programming languages as well.
Course Revised May 2016
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Many textbooks are several hundred pages long. Imagine how much harder a textbook would be to understand if it consisted of only one very long chapter, rather than being divided into manageable sections. Thankfully, chapters organize books into manageable chunks of information. In today's lesson, you'll learn how to similarly divide up your code into separate procedures. We'll explore two types of procedures—subroutines and functions—that help you organize your code.
Nobody's perfect, right? Well, your applications won't always run perfectly either. Sometimes they'll stop due to a runtime error, also called an exception. In our final lesson, you'll find out how to prevent and handle exceptions.

Market players are fascinated by trading in Apple (AAPL) today, which bounced nicely after an early panic. Probably the most interesting thing is the debate over AAPL. True believers continue to feel the market just doesn't understand AAPL, while skeptics argue that AAPL's lifecycle has shifted and it is now a "mature" company like Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO), Dell (DELL) and many others in the technology sector. While it may still be a good value, AAPL's hyper-growth stage is over and it is unlikely to regain the wild momentum it enjoyed earlier this year.
Outside of AAPL, the market continues to trade in chaotic and choppy fashion. Breadth is running about 1950 gainers to 2900 losers, but underlying support continues as hope of a fiscal-cliff deal keeps buyers interested.
What has been particularly challenging lately is that there is little sustained momentum. Banks lead one day and do nothing the next. If you are chasing momentum, you are seeing very little follow-through. And there is no hot theme or sector. Usually, a group or two attracts hot money looking for action. The hot money is out there, but it doesn't seem to be focused.
My inventory levels are extremely low, but I continue to have a difficult time finding much I want to accumulate. I have a few small trades and a couple of things I'm interested in longer term, like Fusion-io (FIO), but I'm not technically seeing any reason to do any aggressive buying. Lower prices would be nice, but underlying support in this market continues to be quite stubborn.

HOUSTON - The flu has been spreading fiercely across the United States, with more than half of states reporting widespread activity.
At the Nueva Casa De Amigos Health Center, 1809 North Main, officials have been busy administering flu shots. Doctors and nurses have about a thousand flu vaccinations, but they said if they run out, they will just ask for more.
"So far, there's a very good supply," said Porfirio Villarreal, public information officer for the city Of Houston's Health Department. "If we run out, we'll just order other shipments."
Those shipments would come from the state.
Experts advise the best way to protect yourself from the flu is, in fact, the flu shot. They said it is the best shot for fighting the flu in years.
"What the scientists are saying is the shot is 90 percent effective," said Villarreal. "The vaccine is a good match. It's matched with three of the most common viruses."
If you got the flu shot back in the fall, it is the same vaccine they are giving out now.
"It's still good now," said Ana Guien, a registered nurse supervisor. "It protects you from June 2012 to June 2013."
Doctors at Texas Children's Hospital said flu cases in Houston were up in November and December but dropped a bit in early January.
"We are predicting and planning for increase volumes next week or so as school gets back into session," Dr. Kay Leaming-Van Zandt said.
Doctors at The Methodist Hospital said they have seen two to three times the normal level of patients in the emergency room with flu symptoms.
The numbers of flu cases are up across the country, according to the latest weekly flu report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu report showed widespread flu cases in more than 40 states, including Texas.
The Texas Department of State Health Services reported three children died after getting the flu. Two children were from Southeast Texas and the other North Texas.
Doctors strongly recommend there is still time to protect your family from flu.
"There are so many places in Houston and the surrounding areas that are still offering both the flu mist and the flu shots," said Dr. Leaming-Van Zandt.
Texas Children's Hospital employee Jenn Jacome got her flu shot. Her extended family did not.
"My sister is home sick. My mother is home sick and my other sister's boyfriend in town for my brother's wedding is sick," said Jacome. "Timing could not be worse with my brother's wedding on Saturday, and we have relatives coming in today to stay at our house for the wedding on Saturday."

Reds to sell 1,500 Opening Day tickets on Saturday
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Reds announced Monday that 1,500 tickets to the April 1 Opening Day game vs. the Angels will go on sale at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday. The tickets are only available at the Great American Ball Park box office window.
The available tickets for the 4:10 p.m. game are limited to 1,000 view level at $32 each and 500 standing room only at $20 each. There is a limit of four tickets per person. Last year in a similar sale, tickets sold out in less than one hour.

Inkscape at the Libre Graphics Meeting
四月 12, 2014, 2:57 a.m.
The Inkscape team at LGM was comprised of nine people: Tavmjong Bah, Joakim Verona, Krzysztof Kosiński, Gémy Cédric, Sirko Kemter, Elisa de Castro Guerra, Ryan Lerch, The Adib and Martin Owens. The good attendance of Inkscape people was in part due to the generous contribution by the Inkscape Project helping pay for members to attend the event.
The Inkscape Meeting
A meeting was held on the third day, in the morning and directly after vital consumption of coffee and tea. A medium sized university meeting room with white tables and chairs in a large square configuration was organised in advanced to host the meeting.
Tavmjong chaired the meeting and a rough agenda was put together about different areas of the project to talk about. These are the highlights
- Efforts will be made to organise Inkscape's diverse resources for development and user documentation into fewer locations to reduce fragmentation.
- More frequent release schedules with predictable cycles are needed to keep users up to date with new features in Inkscape.
- Better web technologies to publish content and translate it are needed and will be developed into the new django website.
- Stimulation by funding developers was considered and the project is looking into ways of providing ways to contribute through subscriptions and/or single payment project fundraising.
- A library of extensions and other add-ons for Inkscape is required and easy ways to install them. This to help extension writers publish their work more quickly.
- Many other technical topics were covered which can be followed on the Inkscape Mailing list report.
Other Items
On Wednesday Tavmjong gave a talk about the process of developing SVG2 with the W3C working group and the new features in SVG2 we can expect. As well as some informal questions during the week from Inkscape developers interested in the new capabilities of SVG2.
On Thursday Martin ran a small testing group of users to list some of their highest rated concerns for Inkscape and especially issues with design. Some of these issues were then patched ready for the next release.
On Friday, Ryan gave an in depth tutorial of advanced uses of live path effects to produce some stunning artistic results with Inkscape. These should appear as videos on the tutorials page.
Many demonstrations of Inkscape's existing capabilities were done in the hacking space throughout the week.

The incident occurred at 1:10 of the third period during Chicago's 4-3 shootout win on Tuesday.
Hossa had to be helped off the ice after Hansen hit him in the back of the head with his left forearm.
Hossa eventually got up and went to the bench as Hansen made his way to the penalty box to serve his 2-minute penalty for roughing.
Hansen will miss Vancouver's game against Dallas on Thursday.

Monterey >> Naval Postgraduate School is doing well recovering from a damaging report and resulting changes, and is a valued resource, a Navy leader told faculty and staff this week.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Juan Garcia III held a town hall Wednesday at the school for roughly 150 faculty, staff and students. It comes as the Defense Department considers wide-ranging cuts across the entire military.
"Today is a significant step in NPS history," he told the crowd, according to a Navy press release. "It is a pleasure to be here at one of the Navy's crown jewels . . . the intellectual center of our Navy's defense strategy."
He said the school was "a uniquely precious resource for our nation's security."
Some in attendance said Garcia appeared to indicate the school had done well implementing changes recommended by the Naval Inspector General after a damaging report in November 2012.
The report cost the top two leaders at the school their jobs amid allegations of mismanagement and failure to adhere to Navy rules.
There is no video or recording of Garcia's comments. The town hall was closed to the public.
According to the Navy, Garcia told the crowd the investiture of the school's new president Ron Route "symbolically marks the close of the Inspector General investigation."
Garcia stressed the value of education at the school, keeping a competitive edge and conducting research.
The school's Board of Advisors — which typically meets just twice a year — was on campus last week.
Their two-day visit included an ethics training overview, an update on the school from Route, the town hall, talks on research and breakfast with students.
The board's next meeting will be in October on the East Coast.

Hot-hitting Arcia gets start over Parmelee
BOSTON -- With rookie Oswaldo Arcia swinging a hot bat, right fielder Chris Parmelee was on the bench for a second straight game against the Red Sox on Thursday.
Arcia, who turned 22 on Thursday, went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run homer in the Twins' 5-3 win to extend his career-best hit streak to seven games and improve his batting average to .313. It came on the heels of setting a career high with four hits in Wednesday's 15-8 win over the Red Sox. And more important, he drove the ball the other way, which impressed Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.
"It was kind of growing up in front of our eyes," Gardenhire said. "He was chasing a couple wild pitches and changeups and then, all of a sudden, he no-strides it and shoots it [to left field]. So he made a little bit of an adjustment, which for us is fun to watch."
Gardenhire added that Parmelee spent Wednesday and Thursday working with hitting coach Tom Brunansky to make a few adjustments. Parmelee is in the midst of an 0-for-15 slump that has dropped his batting average to .200.
"I don't whether it's a late setup or what, but he's not catching the ball at the front of the plate right now," Gardenhire said. "He's letting the ball get really deep and there's no extension. So we're talking about how he's not extending to the ball right now. So this is good. Gives him a couple days to do his work and everything."

Archaeological Sites: Paikuli
The existence of a large square tower monument at Paikuli, in the eastern border of the Kurdistan region of modern Iraq, was first documented by nineteenth-century travelers. Studies were made by Henry Rawlinson in 1844, followed by Edward Thomas and Carl Friedrich Andreas. By then, the Sasanian Monument was known to have originally served as testimony of the res gestae of Narseh, son of the Sasanian ruler Shapur, celebrating his triumph over Warham III (Bahram III). The inscription was carried out in two scripts, Parthian and Middle Persian of the Pahlavi language. Today the inscriptions are either spread throughout the site or stored at the local Slemani Museum.
Herzfeld visited Paikuli in 1911 and made a first series of squeezes. A second, more labor-intensive campaign followed in the summer of 1913. He began to systematize the scattered blocks from the tower and made a hypothetical reconstruction. Helmut Humbach and Prods Skjarvo would make later reconstructions; more recently an Italian team collaborated with local authorities on further conservation and excavations at the site.

Borderlands 2 'Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty' launches today along with new trailer
2K Games and Gearbox have released a new trailer to go alongside the arrival of Captain Scarlett and her Pirates's Boot, the first add-on content campaign for Borderlands 2. The DLC is now available for download on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
In Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, you can enter the hostile sand dunes and wastelands of Pirate Bay in search of ancient treasures. The add-on features new characters, including the "eccentric and eager" Shade; a new town called Oasis; new enemies like Sand Pirates and Anchormen; and even more loot and weapons!
Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty is the first of four planned add-on content campaigns for Borderlands 2. Each add-on can be purchases individually ($9.99 each) or as a combined purchase through the Borderlands 2 Season Pass which includes nearly $40 of additional content for $29.99 (2400 Microsoft Points). All four add-on campaigns are scheduled to be available by June 2013.
"We're so excited at how the Borderlands 2 experience continues to grow with Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty and the fifth playable character class, the Mechromancer," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K, referring to the recent release of Gaige, the Mechromancer — a teenager who summons a giant robot named Deathrap to fight alongside her. "With hours of new story-driven content to play through and an entirely new character to play as, gamers are getting a lot of additional value. The really exciting part is that we're just getting started."
"The love we've felt for Borderlands 2 is driving us wild and ever since we completed development of the main game, we have been fired up about creating great, new content to expand the experience," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "I am thrilled to announce the release of Borderlands 2's first additional player character, Gaige the Mechromancer, delivered ahead of schedule. I'm also incredibly excited about Captain Scarlett and her Pirates' Booty, which is an all-new grand adventure for Borderlands 2 and the first of a four-part season full of big, original campaign expansions."
It's interesting to see Gearbox and 2K Games go in the direction of pirates, while it seems every games seems to be leaning towards zombies. With three more content packs remaining, who thinks we'll see the walking dead start roaming soon?

Easily. IU has been around longer. Many people living in Indy went to IU, creating a bond that just doesn't happen with a professional team. IU has a rich history and pretty good team right now as well.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm not saying IU is bigger than the Pacers in the city as I have no idea. But just because one is college and one is pro, I don't think that really matters in terms of popularity. Even if the Bobcats start becoming contenders, I don't see them ever taking over UNC and Duke.

I was part of "polio hysteria," a disease that ravaged an average of more than 20,000 Americans a year immediately after WWII in the years 1945-49. In 1952 a record 58,000 cases were reported across America.
And though it was many years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. A hot beautiful Sunday afternoon in October. I was playing in a spirited touch football game with neighbors in the field next to our little house that sat right across the alley from St. Mary's Church. After an hour or so I was running down the left sideline going out for a pass. I never made it.
All of a sudden, like a switch was turned on, I was seeing stars. Everything turned to black. I went to my knees. I couldn't make it back to the house. My two friends, sisters who lived across the field with a father who had black lung disease he contacted from working in the coal mines of Appalachia, helped carry me to the house. There I spent the next three days on the couch, unable to move, my neck like a statue.
I was a very sick 9-year-old boy. My father, who worked on the Wabash Railroad and was gone a lot, called our family doctor, John Nill, who made a house call. Doctors did that back then. Dr. Nill came over to the couch with his black bag, got on his knees and examined me. After awhile he got up and walked over to my dad. In a hushed whisper so I wouldn't hear, but I did, he told my dad, "Jerry, I am so sorry to tell you this, but your boy has polio."
My dad stared at him for a few seconds, unable or unwilling to comprehend what he just heard, and then he did something I had never in my whole life seen him do: He cried. Dr. Nill, a kind of gruff but kind man, put his arms around my dad, and the two men stood there for what seemed forever, not moving, sharing this tender terrible moment.
Dr. Nill called an ambulance to take me to St. Joe Hospital. There I was given a spinal tap. I had never in my life experienced such pain. A long needle jabbed into my spine to take fluid. It seemed much more than a tap, I'll tell you that. The test confirmed I had polio. I was then admitted to the polio ward for children. I had my own room and a pretty young nurse who was as kind as she was pretty.
Outside my room in the hallway, I could see some sort of contraption that looked like a big bullet, and I could see, or thought I did, a face hanging out the end of it. The nurse explained that polio attacks not just arms and legs and necks but also the lungs, and people can't breathe, so they put them in this, what she calls an iron lung.
When I asked about the person inside it she told me, "He's a high school football star from Van Wert, Ohio."
I thought maybe I wasn't as bad off as I thought.
Then came that first night. The halls filled with howls of anguish, all night long, moans and groans and screams for "Mommy." When I went in I thought I was sick as a kid could be. By morning I knew I wasn't even close. To this day I can hear their agony echo through my brain. It was on this ward that the 4-year-old boy in the headline died. Eventually I was released, and I did physical therapy in the pool. It hurt, but gradually I was able to move my neck. I was lucky. I had a mild case.
When I got home, there was a big sign on the front door in bright blood red letters: QUARANTINE. DO NOT ENTER. ALLEN COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH.
It is a stigma that has never left me. Polio informed my world view, for better or for worse; made me the person I am today, wanting to heal, gather others up and save them. I have failed, of course. No one really knew what caused it, which added to the hysteria surrounding it. One theory is that it was caused somehow by dirt, a less-than-clean environment; hence, the quarantine sign that it was contagious, and I somehow did something to deserve catching it. And, therefore, if you don't do whatever it is I did, you will be spared. You won't get polio.
In that inferno called a polio ward I wondered to myself why the God I was taught loves me would do such a thing to me and all the kids in that hospital suffering from this awful disease. Some didn't survive. Polio didn't just cripple, it killed.
At the same time I attributed my recovery to the prayers of the nuns who lived right behind our house in the nunnery across the alley, who were always kind to me, giving me cookies and milk about every time they saw me, and they prayed for me. I learned the power of prayer and the confusion I felt, between being abandoned by God and saved by prayer has never left me.
The kids who didn't make it no doubt had people praying for them, too. And though polio has largely been eradicated in the United States, many dreadful diseases remain, among them black lung disease.
I still see that man in his bed looking like a corpse and hear the screams of those children. And along with them, my question I asked at the age of 9 I still ask: Why? Why do we have to suffer this way?

Following Sandy, unemployment filings up sharply in N.J.
When Superstorm Sandy swept through coastal areas, it also swept through the labor market.
New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development said it received an additional 84,000 claims compared with November 2011.
That's on top of about 600 residents filing for Disaster Unemployment Assistance, which helps people such as the self-employed who can't qualify for regular benefits.
That's a big number, says James Hughes, dean of the School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers. While Hughes says jobs should start to bounce back this month, he adds that there is no precedent for the storm damage, so it's hard to know what the long-term recovery will look like.
"Particularly with the time spent on infrastructure rebuilding," said Tuesday. "We'll see some recovery there, but all that depends on how insurance payments, FEMA payments, and whether households have enough financial capacity to bridge the gap."
The Department of Labor says it will not have unemployment statistics for November until later this month.

Breslow activated from DL; Workman sent to Triple-A
BOSTON -- The Red Sox activated reliever Craig Breslow from the disabled list on Wednesday and optioned Brandon Workman to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Workman was called into manager John Farrell's office, where he also met with general manager Ben Cherington, after Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Rangers.
"Obviously it's not ideal, but I understand what they're doing. It's part of it," Workman said afterward. "I have to keep working. There's really not much else to do."
Workman will be stretched out to start with the PawSox.
The right-hander pitched multiple innings in Tuesday's game, going four innings and allowing just one run on one hit. He also struck out three.
"I threw the ball well and have up to this point," Workman said. "They want me to be stretched out. That's the plan and that's what we're doing."
In three games with the club this season, he combined to toss 61/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits.
"Breslow is coming back," Workman said. "Breslow obviously deserves a spot here. That's the way it goes."

On Thursday, April 10, Amanda Dargan and Steve Zeitlin of City Lore will present Poetry Duels in the Americas at the Fenimore Art Museum auditorium in Cooperstown, NY at 7:30 p.m. The lecture focuses on the oral tradition of poetry contests, as practiced in Trinidad. Participants perform improvised poems in musical form to ridicule or challenge their competitor and win the title of master poet. The lecture will include footage of interviews with Trinidadian extempo masters and actual performances.
The Cooperstown Graduate Program, the premier program for the training of museum professionals, invites each year nationally known folklorists to share their research and experiences in a free public presentation. Folklorists collect the traditional stories, beliefs, and songs of a people, handed down through oral traditions. While poetry attracted Zeitlin to folklore, Amanda Dargan first took interest in traditional stories and songs as a result of a gift.
She said, "My father had brought home a book for me from the 25 cent bin of Alan Lomax's Folk Songs USA with the cover torn off and in the back it listed all these recordings in the Library of Congress." Born in 1915, Alan Lomax traveled across the country collecting and recording folk music for the Library of Congress. Dargan wrote to the Library of Congress to ask about the recordings and received a packet of information along with a list of academic programs in folklore.
Now Zeitlin serves as Executive Director and Dargan as Education Director at City Lore, a New York City based organization. City Lore presents programs and projects dedicated to documenting the culture, arts, music, oral traditions, and poetry of New York City and the United States. At city Lore they have also pursued their interest in poetry and have offered programs, such as the People's Poetry Gathering, a biennial poetry festival in lower Manhattan.
Please join us for this exciting and informative event on Thursday, April 10 at the Fenimore Art Museum auditorium at 7:30 pm. It is free and open to the public. Funding has been made possible by the Cooperstown Rotary and the Sgt. Walter P. Eggleston Post 7128 Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The Cooperstown Graduate Program is jointly sponsored by the State University College at Oneonta and the New York State Historical Association. CGP offers an intensive two-year program leading to a Master of Arts degree in History Museum Studies.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing press release
Indianapolis, IN (September 22, 2011)- Over a month ago, Justin Wilson, pilot of the No. 22 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing entry, was involved in a single-car incident in practice for the Honda Indy 200. During the Saturday morning session in Mid-Ohio, Wilson ran off on the exit of Turn 1. As a result, he dropped two wheels off the asphalt and then went hopping through the grass, which then sent the car airborne.
Wilson sustained an anterior compression fracture of the fifth vertebra, which has kept him out of the car for the remainder of the season.
Nearly six weeks after the incident, Wilson is on the fast track to recovery and is back into training. "If I think back to how I felt immediately afterwards, and compare that with what I can do now, it's been great progress. It started to get less painful after the first two weeks and a couple of weeks ago I was able to raise my arms above my head for the first time. Now I'm in the swimming pool every day and doing some upper body exercises, so things are starting to feel normal again," commented Wilson.
During the 12-week recovery process, Wilson has had to be treated by bracing. Even though the back brace provided by Dr. Terry Trammell at OrthoIndy has been pretty uncomfortable, it was key to Justin's recovery. "Now I know what a turtle feels like! But it's been worth the discomfort knowing that I'm going about the recovery the right way," continued Wilson.
While Wilson might be fit enough to get in the car for the final race in Las Vegas on October 16th, he doesn't want to take any chances. "I might be fit enough to drive at Vegas, but for the sake of one race, when I'm not in contention for anything in the championship, it just doesn't make sense. Jumping in the car after 11 and a bit weeks isn't the right way to see if my back is 100% healed or not," stated Wilson.
Sitting on the sidelines has been hard, but getting back to training is making each day go faster. "It's obviously been frustrating not being able to drive the No. 22 car. I felt we'd turned the corner on a disappointing start to the season and had genuine hopes of being up near the front in the second half of the year. But it won't be long now until pre-season testing starts and I can focus on 2012."
Stayed tuned for an announcement on Wilson's replacement for the final two races of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season.

Scholarship winner has local links
A doctor with Taranaki ties was one of 12 people to receive a prestigious AMP Scholarship in Auckland last week.
David Bourke, 28, whose parents live in Stratford, will use the scholarship to fund another trip to Tanzania in Africa where he has carried out volunteer medical work in the past.
"I suppose it is something I will do once every couple of years," he said of his work in Tanzania. "The general reward of helping people as a doctor is a fundamental reason of why I do it. You feel like you are doing a lot with the skills you have when you are over there whereas sometimes in New Zealand you aren't sure if you have made much of a difference at the end of the day."
While currently committed to a three-year programme of study in Auckland to become a specialist (although as yet undecided exactly in what) Dr Bourke sees Taranaki as a possible option when finished.
"I always try to get home for holidays and would like to work somewhere smaller once I am finished here. You get fed up with the traffic and the hustle and bustle. I'd like to be in a community where you can walk down the street and know some of the people you see."
Each year AMP distributes about $200,000 in scholarships. Auckland film-maker Briar March and Wellington power system engineer Paul Burnaby received the premium awards of $30,000 and $20,000 respectively.

New York -- Hammacher Schlemmer iconic midtown Manhattan store will undergo an extensive floor-to-ceiling renovation. It will reopen May 16.
The renovation of Hammacher Schlemmer's landmark store will include new lighting, more modern display cases, and a new floor consisting of solid stone and hardwoods. The new store layout will provide more square footage for customers to peruse the latest gadgets and problem-solving products.
Hammacher Schlemmer opened its doors in 1848 in New York City's Bowery district, and quickly became renowned as the definitive, most complete source for hard-to-find hardware in the country, if not the world. When they moved in 1926 to their current location at 147 E. 57th Street they began selling more refined goods that solved problems or were the only ones of their kind. Throughout their history they have been the first to offer many items that are now ubiquitous, including the first pop-up toaster.
"Our store has been at its current location for 87 years and we are committed to maintaining the finest shopping experience for our customers," said Hammacher Schlemmer's general manager Fred Berns.

The Real Costs
Real Costs is a Firefox plug-in that inserts emissions data into travel related e-commerce websites. The first version adds CO2 emissions information to airfare websites such as Orbitz.com, Delta.com, etc, and to car direction websites such as Mapquest.com. Think of it like the nutritional information labeling on the back of food... except for emissions.
The objective of the Real Costs is to increase awareness of the environmental impact of certain day to day choices in the life of the Internet user. By presenting this environmental impact information in the place where decisions are being made, it will hopefully create an impact on the viewer, encourage a sense of individual agency, and provide a set of alternatives and immediate actions.
Experience the project by installing the Real Costs plug-in into your Firefox application. Currently, this plug-in pulls each flight/driving information from the page, calculates and reinserts the CO2 produced. It is configured to work on the websites of the major worldwide air carriers, and several car direction websites. A list of these sties and scientific documentation is available on the Wiki (http://therealcosts.com/wiki).

My friend Martha introduced me to the virtues of buffalo meat. If I am a finalist, she gets to come with me to Napa.
My recipe "Kobe Beef & Shiitake Mushroom Burgers Topped with Lobster Slaw" is my version of the classic "Surf -n- Turf" with a twist.
My mother was raised in Puerto Rico. It seems Puertoriccan dishes are often overlooked but they are very tasty.
This is a great local American BISON Burger that honors the Tradition of the Ponca People and the ability they displayed to take the meager ingredients available to them and create a food that has
What's not to love about this juicy burger stuffed with ham and cheese then topped with Canadian bacon and a succulent cheesy shrimp sauce?
I learned how to make these burgers from a friend in Texas. As you know Texas is the bar-b-que capital of the world. Over the years I have fine tuned this recipe The secret ingredient is love.
This refreshing burger is born out of the need to use leftover watermelon! The addition of grilled watermelon and pineapple is a refreshingly light and tangy addition to the spice of the burger.
Liking grilled watermelon on my burger, thought I would up the ante by adding more fruit and a hint of teriyaki.
My family has been encouraging me to submit recipes for quite some time now.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Georgia Bulldogs sophomore who earned SEC player of the year honors, is heading to the NBA, the team announced.
Caldwell-Pope, who averaged 18.5 points and 7.1 assists this past season, is expected to hire an agent, which would fully commit him to the pro process.
"I want to thank the University of Georgia for all it has done for me," Caldwell-Pope said in a statement. "I want to thank my coaches, teammates and fans for the love and support."
Caldwell-Pope's consistency was commendable as well, as he was one of nine Division I players to score in double figures in every game this past season.
Georgia will return at least six of their top eight scorers from 2012-13, the Macon Telegraph reported, but Caldwell-Pope's production will be very much missed.
"It's been a pleasure to coach Kentavious and to see him grow as both a player and a person," Bulldogs coach Mark Fox said in a statement. "I wish him nothing but success as he pursues his dreams. He will always be a part of the Georgia family."

Pick over the lentils (dal) to check for small stones. Rinse under cold running water. In a heavy-based pan, bring the lentils to the boil in 400ml water, the turmeric and 1tsp of the oil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the lentils are cooked. Add 200ml boiling water to the lentils and mix in the salt. Heat the remaining oil in a separate pan. Add the mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, cumin seeds, green chilli, and tamarind concentrate and mix well. When the seeds splutter, remove from the heat and add the lentils with their liquid. Return to the heat, stir and cook for a minute. Serve in a mug.
