This is one of my favorite pieces of radio memorabilia. Not sure when it was printed, but it does say "Reprinted Courtesy of NARA". It seems to have some age to it, and is on very heavy paper. I've not run across another like it.

disappointed with the wood mounting
By Gunnar V
from Maryland
Purchase Reason
I like the idea of the wood-mounted products, but this one, moreso than others I have purchased, was executed somewhat sloppily. The edges are not clean (crooked) and the edges, which are painted black, are very easily damaged, exposing the mdf substrate. I don't know that I would do another wood-mounted image.On the plus side, the reproduction of the print is decent, and it's a great painting.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

WATSONVILLE - With cuts to classrooms and employee layoffs, serving on the school board hasn't been much fun during Karen Osmundson's second term.
Osmundson said after such hard times she considered not running for re-election, but ultimately she decided she owed it to district employees and to her constituents in Trustee Area III to seek another four years. No other candidates that shared her perspective emerged, said Osmundson, who faces a challenge from parent Elsa Nunez.
The trustee area covers southwestern Watsonville and part of North Monterey County
"I felt a sense of responsibility to the community, to fight for teachers and classified (workers)," said Osmundson, who was first elected in 2004 with the support of the teachers union. "I want to continue to be their voice."
And Osmundson is looking forward to better days ahead if voters pass the district's $150 million school bond measure and Proposition 30, a statewide tax initiative to fund public education.
The school bond would pay for repairs at the district's aging schools, as well as for a solar project expected to generate savings on utility bills that could be directed back to the classroom.
Osmundson would use any savings to reduce class sizes, which have grown as state education funding fell in recent years. She'd also like to hire back custodians and counselors, whose numbers have dwindled through budget cuts.
The district has cut $18.5 million during the past five years, and could lose $7.6 million more, or $441 per student, if the statewide tax measure fails, according to Chief Business Officer Brett McFadden.
"If Proposition 30 doesn't pass, we're in big trouble," Osmundson said, adding she couldn't imagine how the district could cut more.
"We've already increased class sizes. We can't raise them more. Could we cut more custodians? No, we could not. We're at bare-bones now," she said. "We cut nurses to the bare-bones too."
Recalling the uproar from parents when cuts were made to school bus service a few years ago, Osmundson said she'd also oppose any reductions to transportation that would reduce services. In the past, she's advocated for spending less on administration, and that's where she'd look for savings again if necessary, Osmundson said.
Despite her initial reluctance to run, Osmundson said she's fully committed to serving. During the past eight years, she said she's served on several committees and attended all the open houses and fundraisers at her area schools, except on the rare occasion when two fell at the same time.
"I've always given it my all," Osmundson said. "And "I'll continue to give it my all."

A rather warm day. Nothing exciting and everything par for the course. Saw Bob Sanders ride out to the practice field about 8:25am. Saw Bob Sanders ride back on a cart at 8:50am. Saw Bob Sanders return on a cart later and saw Bob Sanders not working with the regular team.
Good size crowd today, Manning was unhappy while signing because the crowd was getting hectic. Peope were 10 deep almost half the field and the pushing was getting out of hand. Comes with the territory I guess. Dallas Clark tried to help out by signing also. The rook Gonzo signed further on down.
If you want to know Xs & Os I'm not that guy.
Almost forgot apparently fame must be fleeting. J-Mac the autistic kid (20? points in his first/last high school game) is back for the first week of camp. Last year seemed several people recognized him, this year seems to be a different story.

ANTIOCH — The city is hoping to add a little more bark and bite to its animal rules.
The revised ordinance, set to be formally approved early this month, keeps much of Antioch's criteria in place for licensing and care for animals; clarifies the penalties for violations and the appeals process; and expands the list of unlawful acts.
Aside from a few minor changes, Antioch's animal rules have not been updated since the early 1980s.
One new rule is that feeding feral cats on public property would be prohibited. Also, a city permit would be required to keep more than five cats on a property.
The new rules also set provisions for potentially dangerous and vicious animals, including remedies for attacks on private property and requirements for keeping an animal after it has been declared vicious.
Most of Antioch's new rules align the city more closely with state law, police Lt. Diane Aguinaga said.
One other new rule is that after a dog or cat has been impounded twice, it must be spayed or neutered before released back to its owner.
The City Council gave the go-ahead for the ordinance last month. No animal advocates or members of the public spoke at the Dec. 10 meeting, but some have spoken up in the past week.
Karen Kops, president of the Homeless Animals Rescue Program, or HARP, said there are some good parts to the rules, but also a lot of unanswered questions that warrant further discussion.
One part Kops is against is not allowing volunteers to provide water to abandoned cats, especially in Antioch's hot summer months.
"It's an inhumane solution," Kops said. "There should be rules that have compassion and are more forward-thinking instead of directing them to be starved to death. We need to try to work that out."
The update was prompted by a number of high-profile animal cases, including a serious attack on 10-year-old Hunter Kilbourn of Martinez in August by two pit bulls, and increased animal intake at the city's shelter, according to animal services officials.
Antioch is the lone city in Contra Costa County that operates its own animal shelter. Because Antioch's animal control department is short-staffed, enforcement of the rules is complaint-driven, City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland.
"No one's really out looking for these violations; it's really when they start impacting neighbors, public safety and health, like the feeding of feral cats that then attracts rodents and raccoons. That's when things attract the attention of animal services," Nerland said.
More than half of the calls for service handled by Antioch's animal control officers are for dangerous animals, including those that are aggressive or violent, Aguinaga said.
A complete copy of the proposed ordinance is available as part of the City Council's Dec. 10 agenda at www.ci.antioch.ca.us.
Contact Paul Burgarino at 925-779-7164. Follow him at Twitter.com/paulburgarino.
Here are the rules on animals allowed in Antioch's proposed ordinance.
Dogs: 3, more would require permit.
Cats: 5, more would require permit.
Ducks, geese, chickens or other fowl: 10 each; also they must be kept in enclosures 20 feet from any dwelling.
Roosters: 0, having one or more would require permit.
Rabbits: 10, cages and runs must be clean.
Bees: only kept in areas zoned for agriculture or open space, and permit.
Horse, mule, cow, sheep, goat, pig: Unlawful, unless in enclosed area over acre, with permit.
Racing pigeons: Unlimited, if the member of a racing pigeon club obtains a permit.
Livestock: Stabling, pasturing or maintaining horses or bovines is not allowed, unless allowed by zoning ordinance Source: City of Antioch


text: I just read Bikkhu Bodhi's abridged translation of MN 123 (Achiriya-abbhuta Sutta) in In the Buddha's Words (pp. 50-55--there are online versions but I do not know if his tr. is). This is the first time I have read this sutta. And even though BB says this is the mythological-symbolic mode of the sutta (p. 48) I am incredulous. Buddha did not dismiss or deny Ananda's claims. Did the Buddha really believe these things about his birth, or is that metaphorical too? Are these the right questions or line of inquiry? Is it normal to be so bewildered by stuff like this on first encounter?

Whyteleafe's up and coming master of the motor, Charlie Robertson, underlined his status as one of the UK's best young racing drivers at the opening weekend of the Michelin Ginetta GT4 SuperCup.
Driving on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit, the 17-year-old debutant won the second of three races to end the day in second place overall - having finished third in race one and 11th in race three.
Robertson, backed by Investigo and racing with HHC Motorsport, said: "I've been a little bit surprised with how competitive and quick we have been on our first weekend in the championship.
"The team is new to the GT4 SuperCup, like me, and we're still learning about the car so what we've achieved this weekend is really encouraging. I'm so happy to have won a race on the first weekend, it's a fantastic start."
He added: "Finishing on the podium in the first race is what I really wanted to do. Qualifying was good, our pace was good, but unfortunately the component failure led to the session ending early for me.
"To come through from fifth to third in my first race in a Ginetta G55 was a good result."
Winner: Charlie Robertson Jakob Ebrey Photography
Donington Park National Circuit in Leicestershire is the venue for the next three rounds of the SuperCup season over Easter weekend, April 19.

Hansbrough is getting clobbered out there and can't get a call.
Why does our defense suck all of a sudden?
Pacers need to pick it up on D.
Augustin and Hill backcourt.
Boy Paul is majorly sucking tonight.
Paul double dribble there right? weird.
LOL at that call. That guy was sliding the entire way.
BS call.
Worst call ever on Roy. B.S.!!!
oops, we do. one is sick and the other injured.
Just because it's Roy Hibbert, you don't have to call a charge.
The Jazz have 24 points off turnovers.
Simply put, that doesn't happen very often and it makes our D looking bad.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Paul George IQ moment. Passing up a 4 footer to give it to West - another turnover!
I still don't know why Vogel took out Hansbrough. I get that West was rested, but Hansbrough was the hot hand.
Crappy defense and we won't beat anybody, this team can't trade baskets and be successful
The way its starting to look; We're Lookin at a 3 game losing streak right now
Amazing how similar George and Hayward are as players.
Yep I would love to have Hayward here.
I really wish Vogel stand up for our guys more often. Horrible charging call there
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
What would you have him do? He can't afford too many fines.
I miss us playing defense
We just can't stop them. I don't see how we can keep up this offense.

Willits Police Chief Gerry Gonzalez advised the Willits city council the Willits Police Department was restarting the city's police K-9 program.
Gonzalez has an officer interested in taking on the added responsibility for training and caring for the new K-9 officer.
Officer safety is one of the key reasons Gonzalez recommended the program. The Willits police are involved in a number of foot chases each year across the back woods and fields around Willits. A number of these have involved felons believed to be armed and dangerous. A trained K-9 can make short work of the chase, apprehending such suspects with minimal risk to the officers.
While Gonzalez expects to cover the costs to purchase, train and outfit a new K-9 from city asset forfeiture funds, he expects the ongoing costs to be cost neutral.
Willits police historically had a K-9 program but it dissolved due to personnel changes and budget cuts. Such programs require a 24-hour per day commitment by the human officer in the K-9 team to the dog's welfare and training. The service K-9 becomes an integral member of the officer's family.
Gonzalez expects it will take a few months to recruit a suitable canine and begin the training.

May Vic Morrow, Renee Chen and My-ca Din Li never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
Why isn't this a COMPLETE history? there have been far more than 10 deaths in the industry.
Set safety begins with a proper risk assessment, continues with production management committed to safety and having an experienced, independent professional with the authority to ensure precautions are followed.
There is the ever present sense of "cinematic immunity" – that somehow THIS SHOT superspedes any and precautions, local labour laws or – in many instances – common sense. But as a further comment I would draw attention to the fact that films and television shows are identified by more than just the moments when the cameras are turning – in reality that is only a VERY short portion of the production cycle – and with that in mind I mention the death of David Richie – a Toronto set dresser, who was killed under tragic conditions during the wrap of JUMPER !
PLEASE remember all the work that goes on before camera arrives and after camera leaves – rigging grips – electics – set dressers – carpenters and all the crew who proceed camera and work to PROTECT AND ENSURE THE SAFELY of the shooting crew and actors – i think if you were to seriously look – THAT is where the accidents and deaths happens – only we are the anonymous!

Like he hath spoke himself, no surprise was this.
I always liked Marcus, but I think we have the pieces to make up for his production in the passing game. His blocking has always left a lot to be desired, though.
I do not think we will see a noticeable difference in the running game like we did after my man Dilger left.
I thank Marcus for 10 great years. Now, time to move on for all involved. The TE position should be in pretty good shape with Clark, Hartsock, and Utecht.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
What did we do with that TE that was tearing it up in the preseason?Originally Posted by obnoxiousmodesty
Poor Marcus...
I just hope that our other 2 backups are better than he is...can someone tell me how good Utecht is?
And any word on Vandy? I DO hope we keep him...Kickers are hard to find
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
They have like $13 million dollars of cap room right now. That's a ton for a team that's on the edge of being one of the NFL's best
Good question. Utecht was one of the highest rated TEs before his season ending injury his senior year. That's the reason everyone passed on him in the draft. I believe he was equally solid in terms of receiving and blocking. Hopefully he can resume the level of play he was at in college.Originally Posted by Suaveness
It's really a low risk, high reward situation with him.
I'll miss Marcus. He always had a good attitude. I hope he does good with whoever picks him up
Marcus!!!NOOOOOOO!!!! I loved Marcus, he was a great guy. I hope when his playing days are over he can come back here.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
Finally, the Colts have some cap room to spend on the offense and score more points!
Do I sound like I think the Colts will not spend this headroom wisely?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Other Colts starters who became free agents Wednesday included guard Rick DeMulling, safety Idrees Bashir, cornerback Nick Harper and middle linebacker Rob Morris.
I heard that the Titans will try and sign Marcus Pollard, I have no clue why.
why not?Originally Posted by Jermaniac
We are trying to move toward the future why not let Troupe get out there and start at TE, also why waste money on another TE, I would much rather get another WR. But I wouldnt be mad if got Pollard he is a solid big TE, I just dont think he is needed.

Insuring Your Personal Computer or Laptop
Buying a computer is a major investment. And like your other valuables, you're going to want to take steps to insure it properly. Here is some basic information on how to insure your personal computer or laptop.
Is your computer covered by your homeowners insurance?
If your computer is for personal use only, it most likely will be covered by your homeowners insurance. But keep in mind that many homeowners insurance policies have coverage limits for certain property--in this case, your computer. If you use your computer for business, your homeowners insurance may provide only a limited amount of coverage or none at all. In addition, if you have a laptop and plan to travel with it, your homeowners insurance may provide only partial coverage for losses that occur away from your home.
Other coverage options for your computer
If you find that your homeowners insurance does not adequately cover your computer, you may want to consider purchasing a rider or endorsement that will provide a broader scope of coverage. If that's still not enough, you may want to look into purchasing a stand-alone policy that is designed specifically for your computer. Although this type of coverage is more expensive than a rider or endorsement, it may be the only way to obtain complete coverage for your computer.
Exclusions and limitations
When insuring your computer, it's important to know exactly what your policy covers. Typical exclusions and limitations for computers include wear and tear, mechanical breakdown, faulty construction, intentional damage of the equipment, dishonest acts committed by you or anyone taking care of the computer, and water damage.
Computer safety tips
Here are some tips for keeping your computer safe:
- If you travel with a laptop, keep it with you at all times
- Use a surge suppressor to prevent damage to your computer from abrupt changes in electrical flow
- Keep your computer free from dust by keeping it covered when it's not in use
- Make backup copies of computer software and other important files
- To prevent someone from accessing your computer, consider a lock-and-key system or password protection
- Make sure that you install software that is designed to detect computer viruses
- When you buy a computer, remember to keep all receipts and record all serial and model numbers

- "Well, the best shooter in this town is a guy named Cassidy. A military guy, or at least he thinks he is..."
- ― Cam Jones
The Shootist is a Malibu Club asset mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which the protagonist Tommy Vercetti does independently, located Vice Point, Vice City.
Tommy wants a stickup man for the job. Cam Jones recommends Phil Cassidy as he considers him to be one of the best shooter in town. Tommy heads to Downtown to a shooting range to meet Phil. Phil will only join Tommy if Tommy can prove himself that he can handle a gun.
The objective of this mission is to get a total score of 60 points or more in three rounds of a shooting range.
In the first round, there will be three targets hanging from the ceiling and moving from left to right. The closest target is worth one point, the middle is two points, and the farthest is worth three points. It convinient for the player to aim for the middle and farthest target more than the closest one, as they can get more points.
You have a two minute time limit in the first round, but there is no need to rush. If the player aims for the two and three point target precisely, there is no reason why they should not get 40 or more points, rushing will only lead to innaccurate aiming and less points. In order to make it easier to hit the two and three point targets, shoot all parts of the one point dummy except for the head. This will make it easier to hit the farther targets since the body of the first dummy is not blocking it.
In the second and third rounds, the targets of people holding guns will appear in windows, doorways and in front of you. All targets are worth one point each. The player has a one minute time limit, but again, they still need to remain calm and patient to make sure not to waste ammo, as one minute is enough time to easily gain over 60 points. Make sure that you do not waste your ammo, and take your time because one minute is enough time for you to win. following these steps, could could earn the player over 60 points by the end of the second round giving the player no worries with the second round.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Ammu-Nation in Downtown and talk to Phil Cassidy
- Hit as many targets as you can in the time limit
- Get to round two's starting point
- Hit as many targets as you can in the time limit
- Move on to the next area
- Hit as many targets as you can in time limit
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "99 Luftballons" by Nena. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Wave 103. The song isn't played inside the Malibu Club during normal gameplay.
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the shooting range cutscene is "Atomic" by Blondie. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Wave 103.
- The mission's title is likely a reference to the 1976 John Wayne film of the same name.
- Several of the targets are artworks from Grand Theft Auto III.
- If the first stage is completed with a high enough score, the other stages can be ignored, and the mission would still be won.

When I decided to take this blog to Facebook, I was a bit nervous and apprehensive. What if no one was interested in what a Stay at Home Mom of 2 was cooking during the day? What if they thought I was a big joke and my food was too? I never in my life thought I would be at 1000 'likes' on Facebook in such a short time. I was sure it would take at least a year and I cannot say how excited I am about it. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU, to everyone who takes the time to visit Hun...What's for Dinner?, either here, or on Facebook. Without you, this culinary journey wouldn't mean as much. So, as a thank you, I'd like to give one of you the chance to win a little something, from me. Baking is my passion, so I thought a giveaway full of cute Christmas themed baking goodies would be the way to go. Here's what the winner will be getting

I couldn't agree more with your November 9, 2012, editorial, "School board must change course or step down." The only thing I would add is that there has been one board member (me) who has fought to change the direction the board has taken with out-of-the-area contractors, etc. for the last 18 months, or more.
The other board members have ostracized me severely because I have expressed my opinion stridently and often. I didn't attend board meetings for a couple of months due to a heart problem I was having.
I am under strict orders from my doctors to not do anything to elevate my heart rate for a few more months. I stayed away long enough to stop being upset by the current board majority's blind and unethical positions on the various issues surrounding the bond. I feel I can attend board meetings now without damaging my health.
If the board had listened to me, we would not have made these mistakes that you are right to point out.
If my resignation would help, that's fine with me, but I think we would lose an important voice of reason if I resign. Maybe a recall election would be advisable to protect the general public interest, and the needs of our students and families. But let's hold our fire a little bit until all the facts are clear.
I'm hoping the public will help get our school board back on track by attending our meetings, as I stated in my recent The Willits News commentary, "Broken Promises at Willits Unified School District." I'm tired of being out-voted 3-to-1 as each of these issues is dealt with. Please advertise our meetings in advance, when convenient.
I personally think, and have stated publicly, the Citizen's Oversight Committee should have more information on a regular basis, before significant funds are encumbered, so it's not too late for them to help with protecting the public's interest.
Additionally, I have been told recently that there is some likelihood the county auditor may have miscalculated the tax bills sent out recently. This is being checked out.
It also is true the board was duped by the financial experts we hired to handle the structuring and sale of the bonds.
The financial company we hired to be our experts is suing us, and we're suing them. This is paid for by our insurance company.
I have said before, several times, we should freeze all bond expenditures and bond sales until the third-party review of the bond issues financed by the Mendocino County Office of Education has been completed. They will report at our board meeting Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the Willits High School cafeteria.
Again, it seems so unfair for me to be lumped in with the mistakes of the board majority, as I have spoken, written, and voted against them many times on each of these issues.

My ex boss is expecting twins, she had a few miscarriages before, so she is extremely careful with this one. I just visited her, she looked pale and weak, she said she is having difficult pregnancy but didn't elaborate and I didn't dare to ask further.
I am thinking of bringing her some food stuff that can help nourishing her body and/or babies inside, can anyone tell me what is good to bring?
(If this was in my original country, I'd feed her chicken feet with special herbs, but of course that's out of question lol).
She's very cautious of her food, self-proclaimed "pasta girl", always refused sushi and yum cha.

SWINDON Council has announced the first cluster of children's centres has been put out to tender.
The centres which have been provided for include the Penhill and Pinehurst Sure Start Centre as well as the Moredon, Gorse Hill and Drove Children's Centres.
The new provider for the centres will be 4Children, which is a national provider of children's centres, although these will be the first they operate in Swindon.
As it stands the council runs the Sure Start Centre, Moredon and Drove are operated by the White Horse Federation and Gorse Hill is run by Gorse Hill Primary School.
A spokesman for the council said: "We are looking forward to welcoming and working with them.
"Officers will be working closely with 4Children and the current providers over the next few months to ensure that there is as smooth a transition as possible. This will ensure that 4Children can start work on May 1, 2014, with the best possible opportunity to deliver a great service to families."
The council announced plans last summer to reshape the running of all 14 of the town's children centres to reduce costs and, despite public opposition, they have pushed forward with the proposals.

MORE than 100 youngsters attended a dance-a-thon event in aid of Winchester hospital.
Emily Mallinson, 15, a pupil at Kings' School organised the two and a half hour event to raise £600 for the Magic Wand Appeal to revamp the children's ward at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
She said she wanted to stage the fundraiser because the RHCH saved the life of her sister Abigail.
"I thought I should give something back. The evening was a great success," said Emily, adding that Kings' had helped her throughout.
Headtacher Sue Lawrence let Emily have the hall for free and Steve Russell, school caretaker, gave up his afternoon and evening to help.
Among the acts taking part were Integr8 Dance, Ready Salted, Priyanka Arora and Emily herself, Becki Short. Companies who helped sponsor the event included Greggs, Buddy's Diner, Sainsbury's, C&H fabric and Your Life Your Style.

Presidential AssignmentTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
A history teacher gave each of her students a U.S. President to research. Each student was to give a five page report on the major actions made by their President. When it was time to present, one student had only one sentence about his President, yet he received full credit for his project. Why?
AnswerThe President the student was assigned was William Henry Harrison, who died of pneumonia one month after being sworn into office. He wasn't able to make any actions as President, and that is exactly what the student wrote.

Over the last couple of years I have been more or less following the technical debt community's discussion on what exactly is technical debt. Some ague that technical debt is limited to what it would cost to address deficiencies such as those found by code inspection tools such as Sonar. Other writers such as Chris Stirling introduce aspects or kinds of technical debt: quality debt, design debt; ....
My interpretation of the Ward Cunningham metaphor on incurring debt by shipping is broader, including the wide range of after-delivery costs. This entry is continue that discussion and suggest one path forward.
I argued that technical debt should reflect the fact that the very act of shipping software incurs all sorts of possible liabilities, any one of which may incur some future cost.
- Future service costs
- Executives getting on planes to deal with critical situations
- Fines resulting from privacy violations
- Loss of business from failing a compliance audit
- Loss of intellectual capital due to security flaws
- etc, etc.
The nature of the liabilities very from domain to domain. Shipping the next rev of a mobile game like angry birds entails much less liability that next rev of avionic software for a commercial jet.
The costs of fixing the code may be the least of it and under-estimates the assumed labilites. Reasoning about whether these liabilities outweigh the benefits of shipping the code is key to the ship decision.
Since I wrote that entry I have been watching the technical debt space and see that I may be the minority, but not alone, with this perspective, Some people argue that technical debt is solely the cost of addressing shortfalls in the code. Others adopt a broader definition. In fact, in a conversation I had with Capers Jones, a long-time expert in software measurement, he shared a conversation he had with Ward discussing the same points. I have seen others make a distinction between software debt and technical debt. I have decided not to weigh in on this argument, but suggest we call all of the liabilities, (wait for it ...) technical liability.
There is a key difference between standardly-defined technical debt and technical liability: Technical debt involves code quality and can be determined. The liabilities involve possible future events and so entail predictions of the future. Some might even consider technical debt knowable and technical liability unknowable.
Readers of this blog know where I am going. Technical liability, unlike the more limited technical debt, involves a range of future possibilities and so each of the components of liability should be specified as a random variable with a probability distribution. The security violation might or might not occur. But if it does, the possible expense could sink the company. Reasoning about the risk takes some advanced techniques like setting the price of an insurance policy.
Finally, the economic decision if it makes sense to ship a piece of software, one needs to balance the value expected from the ship against the assumed liabilities. Note that the future value is also a random variable. In that case the decision to ship should be based on the techniques found here. I will elaborate the reasoning ibehind technical liability n a future blog (promise).
In summary then, technical liability gives a more complete picture of the economics of shipping a piece of code than technical debt, but it requires more sophisticated analysis.

'Crisp' Chen impresses Showalter with start
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter found a lot to like about the way his pitching staff performed in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Pirates. Baltimore held Pittsburgh to five hits and one walk while striking out 11 batters, and the Bucs' only runs came on homers given up by reliever Brad Brach.
Showalter was particularly pleased with the performance of left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, who was coming off a rough spring debut against the Yankees on Tuesday. Chen allowed two runs on five hits, a homer and a walk in that outing, but he bounced back Sunday with two strikeouts in three scoreless innings of one-hit ball.
"Chen was crisp. It was good to see," Showalter said. "The changeup was very effective. ... [Command] was really good. I thought he was a little crisper, stuff-wise, too, especially to carry it that many innings. It was kind of a hitter-friendly day. I felt very encouraged with the progress they made with the changeup and the breaking ball."
Chen echoed what Showalter said, crediting his sharper command for his improved performance Sunday.
"I think the main difference is my command is better than the last outing," Chen said. "I was able to keep the ball low and hit the both sides of the plate. I think that's the main difference."
Chen also agreed that his changeup is ahead of his other pitches, and its effectiveness against the Pirates backed up Chen's words.
"The changeup works the best for me," Chen said. "The curveball and my slider are not 100 percent yet, so I will try and get a better feel for that in the next few outings."

I'd like to thank Joop for the reference.
It's my intent to strike a proper balance between my participation in the forum, and off-line practice. I look forward to gaining knowledge here, gaining motivation here, practicing, attaining wisdom, and using that wisdom to realize where I can help others and then helping others.
Seeking praise and receiving praise with humility is a problem for me. I can even take simply phrases like, "Good question.", and receive them as praise upon myself. So in addition to the general intends I stated, keeping mindful of this taint, and its eventual elimination is a more specific goal.
It's my goal participate in this forum mindful teachings that address speech and conversation.
AN 10.69-Kathavatthu Sutta-Topics of Conversation
"There are these ten topics of [proper] conversation. Which ten? Talk on modesty, on contentment, on seclusion, on non-entanglement, on arousing persistence, on virtue, on concentration, on discernment, on release, and on the knowledge & vision of release. These are the ten topics of conversation. If you were to engage repeatedly in these ten topics of conversation, you would outshine even the sun & moon, so mighty, so powerful — to say nothing of the wanderers of other sects."
MN 117-Maha-cattarisaka Sutta-The Great Forty
"And what is wrong speech? Lying, divisive tale-bearing, abusive speech, & idle chatter. This is wrong speech.
"And what is right speech? Right speech, I tell you, is of two sorts: There is right speech with effluents, siding with merit, resulting in the acquisitions [of becoming]; and there is noble right speech, without effluents, transcendent, a factor of the path.
"And what is the right speech that has effluents, sides with merit, & results in acquisitions? Abstaining from lying, from divisive tale-bearing, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter. This is the right speech that has effluents, sides with merit, & results in acquisitions.
"And what is the right speech that is without effluents, transcendent, a factor of the path? The abstaining, desisting, abstinence, avoidance of the four forms of verbal misconduct of one developing the noble path whose mind is noble, whose mind is without effluents, who is fully possessed of the noble path. This is the right speech that is without effluents, transcendent, a factor of the path.
"One tries to abandon wrong speech & to enter into right speech: This is one's right effort. One is mindful to abandon wrong speech & to enter & remain in right speech: This is one's right mindfulness. Thus these three qualities — right view, right effort, & right mindfulness — run & circle around right speech."

The splendor of Maine has inspired generations of artists since the time when Frederic Edwin Church, Fitz Hugh Lane, Thomas Cole and others first came here in the mid-nineteenth century. Over the years, Maine has become a haven for such renowned artists as Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, George Bellows, Marguerite Zorach, Berenice Abbott, Georgia O'Keeffe, and three generations of the Wyeth family.
The Maine Art Museum Trail includes Maine's seven leading art museums: the Bates College Museum of Art (Lewiston), the Bowdoin College Museum of Art (Brunswick), the Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville), the Farnsworth Art Museum (Rockland), the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (Ogunquit), the Portland Museum of Art (Portland), and the University of Maine Museum of Art (Bangor).
The museums' permanent collections include works of art by the many artists who have summered or worked in Maine, such as Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Rockwell Kent, Louise Nevelson, Fairfield Porter, and Alex Katz.
Maine art museum collections also feature treasures ranging from masterpieces by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Pablo Picasso to early American silver and furniture, as well as contemporary textiles, prints, ceramics, and sculpture.
All within a day's drive of each other, the seven museum communities offer comfortable inns and hotels, inviting restaurants, and vibrant cultural attractions ranging from dance festivals and film series to historic neighborhoods and lively shops and galleries. And all are within close range of Maine's pine-covered mountains and bustling coastal villages—the same sights that have inspired generations of Maine artists.

Finland Trips
Located between East and West, Finland is a country of contrasts. The seasons could hardly be less extreme: long, cold and icy winters turn the country into a snowy wilderness, with a beautiful landscape of snow-laden forests, rolling white hills and frozen lakes; in the summer the warm sunshine melts the snow and turns the country into every shade of green and blue, with lakes, coasts, forests and pastures all bursting into life. This is the time to discover Finland's remarkable wildlife, including the European brown bear, which inhabits the forests of the north- east.
With only 5.5 million people in a land of 338,000 square kilometres Finland is one of Europe's most sparsely populated countries. Vast, unspoilt swathes of land are covered with the characteristic forest and thousands of lakes (nearly 200,000 of them!) many dotted with islands. This is nature at its most pristine, waiting to be explored.
In the bracing winter you can set out to discover the stunning snow-scape. You could hike on snowshoes along silent forest trails or experience the glide of a dog-sled racing through the landscape behind a pack of husky dogs. You could even take a snowmobile ride to experience and appreciate the vast beauty of this landscape. Then, best of all, you can relax back at a comfortable hotel, guesthouse or your private log cabin with a traditional Finnish sauna.
In summer Finland feels like a different country altogether, perfect for anyone who loves nature and the great outdoors. With the long summer days it's all too easy to make the most of your time, in fact in mid-summer the sun never sets in the far north of the country. Summer activities include walking, boating, cycling, wildlife-activities such as bear watching and - for the adrenaline junkies - whitewater rafting and a host of other activities.

I'm a huge fan of any software that helps me get from inspiration to finally arrangement as fast as possible. Once I have my arrangement done the hard part is over and I can spend a week or two mixing and making minor changes to the lyrics. When writing lyrics I always have my browser at: http://thesaurus.reference.com/
I also have a copy of Masterwriter on my hard drive and I really love it. I don't use it all the time but when I do it always helps me with at least two or three rhymes or ideas. I've been pining for them to overhaul the interface and this week Masterwriter 2.0 was released. My biggest gripe with 1.0 was the inability to resize the application's window. This was an annoying issue because you really want to have Masterwriter sitting next to your DAW's window on the same screen. Happily, 2.0 fixes the resize issue and adds some other nifty new features including "Word Families" and "Parts of Speech".
"MasterWriter presents accessible information that's powerful yet doesn't interfere with the creative process. In fact, anyone who's involved with writing words – authors, journalists and sub-editors, for example – would benefit from having such an easy-to-use set of searchable dictionaries to keep the creative juices flowing in times of need." – Simon Jary, MacWorld UK
I could try an explain all the ins and outs about Masterwriter but their site is loaded with tutorial videos so just head over and take a look. Some people think it's cheating to use software like this but I think if you sat several serious song-writers down and listened to their final songs all written with the help of Masterwriter each one's music would ring 100% true to their own style. You don't belive me? Trent Reznor, Clint Black, Babyface, Amy Grant, Rick Springfield are just a few of people who use this software.

WASHINGTON — The average wait times for new patients seeking mental health care or specialist care at the VA Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, are among the longest in the nation, according to a Department of Veterans Affairs audit released Monday.
The average wait for mental health care at the Clarksburg VA is 96 days, second only to Durham, North Carolina. The average wait for specialist care at Clarksburg is 86 days, fourth highest in the nation.
And the average wait time for a new patient seeking a primary care appointment was 54 days — nearly four times what the VA had set as a goal.
VA guidelines, since abandoned, had said veterans should be seen within 14 days of their desired date for a primary care appointment. The department has since said that meeting that target was unattainable given existing resources and growing demand.
Monday's audit by the VA called the 2011 decision by senior VA officials to set it, and then to base bonuses on meeting the target, an "organizational leadership failure."
Other VA facilities in West Virginia also are exceeding that goal. Martinsburg's wait time is 47 days; Beckley's is 39 days; Huntington's is just under 29 days.
In a telephone interview Monday, Clarksburg VA Medical Center director Beth Brown said her staff is "drilling down" to see what the problems are.
"We have capability within mental health, but recruitment of mental-health providers has been a challenge, and it is even more of challenge oftentimes in rural settings," she said. "And West Virginia is a rural environment."
The numbers released Monday found that more than 57,000 patients nationwide are still waiting for initial medical appointments at VA hospitals and clinics 90 days or more after requesting them. The audit includes interviews with more than 3,772 employees nationwide between May 12 and June 3.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito wrote a letter to Brown asking for answers to three questions: why during Capito's recent visit to the center Brown did not tell her of the center's difficulties scheduling patients, how the facility accrued the delays and what its doing to correct the problem, according to a statement released Monday evening.
"It is unconscionable that new patients unfamiliar with the VA system are forced to wait this long for care," Capito wrote to Brown. "As civil servants, we owe a personal debt of gratitude to each veteran who has risked his or her life to protect this country. The depth of the current scandal at the VA has exposed a new level of corruption and incompetence within the federal government, and it will not be tolerated."
Capito asked in the letter that Brown answer the questions by the close of business Thursday.
The massive bureaucracy at the VA has come under intense scrutiny following allegations that 40 patients died while awaiting care at a Phoenix hospital where employees kept a secret waiting list to cover up delays. That scandal led to the resignation last month of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

New Orleans - Muhammad Ali's daughter scotched rumours of her father being near death on Sunday, saying he was at home watching the Super Bowl.
May May Ali was responding to a report in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper in which Ali's brother claimed that the family was embroiled in a bitter feud over the former heavyweight boxing champion as his life slips away.
The report was widely repeated on the internet, drawing expressions of condolences on Twitter and Facebook.
Rahman Ali said his sister-in-law, Lonnie, has cut off the sporting legend from his family and is "draining" him as his mental and physical faculties are eroded by Parkinson's disease.
The boxer's brother lives in poverty in a small flat in his family's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, where Muhammad Ali owns one of his three mansion homes.
He said he and his family had been barred from visiting the three-time heavyweight world champion and could only speak to him on the phone.
"We've all been pushed out. The only time I get to see him is at public events," he was quoted as saying. "She and her family are draining him. It's so sad. There's nothing I can do, they've blocked us all off."
He also claims that his brother, estimated to be worth more than £50 million, told him he had set up a trust fund for him. But his sister-in-law had "put a stop to it".
Rahman Ali added that Ali's nine children were also having trouble getting hold of their father.
"He said the closest they get is when Lonnie puts him on the phone, although he is only able to breathe down the line.
"If he knew what was happening and where I'm living now, he'd be as mad as hell, so angry," Rahman Ali said.
"If he saw what was happening with his children, he'd go crazy."
The two brothers – born Cassius and Rudolph Clay – were the only two children of poor parents, who worked as a billboard painter and a household domestic.
He said his 71-year-old brother was so crippled by Parkinson's, the degenerative brain condition that has afflicted many ex-boxers, he might not survive until the summer.
"My brother can't speak – he doesn't recognise me. He's in a bad way. He's very sick," he told the Daily Mail. "It could be months, it could be days."
Ali's daughter later said she had talked to her father on Sunday morning on the phone and he was fine. She says he was watching the Super Bowl at home in Arizona, wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey.
"He's fine, in fact he was talking well this morning," May May said in a telephone interview. "These rumours pop up every once in a while but there's nothing to them."
The family later posted a photo on Twitter of Ali sitting in a chair wearing a Ray Lewis T-shirt. - Daily Mail, Sapa-AP

Port Angeles pool to borrow funds for final upgrade

The work will shut down the 225 E. Fifth St. facility, the only public pool in town, from May 25 to June 23.
Clallam County commissioners Tuesday approved a district request to issue a $650,000 general obligation bond to replace air-handling and mechanical room equipment.
The funds will be borrowed at 3.25 percent interest.
No additional taxes are planned for the bond, which will be paid for with existing levy and pool revenues.
The improvements will cost an estimated $661,000, boosting the price tag for renovating the facility to $1.4 million.
"This is another solid step for the pool," County Commissioner Mike Doherty said.
He and Commissioner Jim McEntire voted to allow pool district commissioners to borrow the funds.
Commission Chairman Mike Chapman recused himself from the vote to allow himself to have a say later Tuesday as a pool district commissioner, when the pool board voted 4-0 to issue the bond to Kitsap Bank, Chapman said.
Doherty also is a pool district commissioner, as are City Council members Pat Downie and Brad Collins and Nippon Industries USA supervisor Gary Holmquist.
Doherty recused himself from voting as a pool district commissioner because he took part in the county commissioners' vote.
In 2009, when Port Angeles voters approved forming a new taxing district to run the pool, city officials were threatening to close the facility, built in 1962, because of its age and decrepit condition.
Voters were asked to support the district with 15 cents per $1,000 of valuation in property taxes.
Not asking for more
"We've not only run the pool for 15 cents [per 1,000 of valuation], we've rebuilt it from the ground up without asking for more money," Chapman said in a separate interview.
"That's pretty impressive.
"Show me another government that's done that without asking for more money."
When it was formed, the district was authorized to collect $525,000 in levy revenue, but declining property values have reduced that to $450,000 annually, pool Executive Director Steve Burke said in a later interview.
The district takes in about $225,000 in revenue from memberships, lessons and exercise programs.
"Because property values dropped, we dropped how much we were taking so it would not be more expensive for the public," Burke said.
As a metropolitan taxing district, the district can collect up to 75 cents per $1,000 of valuation without a vote of the people.
"Our mandate from the voters was, we would levy what was needed for maintenance and operation of the pool, and that's nowhere near 75 cents," Burke said.
The pool received 75,000 visits in 2012, an increase of 12 percent over 2011, Burke said.
The push has been to make the facility more energy-efficient, and that's what has happened as 1960s-era equipment has been replaced.
"Our engineers anticipated a 50 percent drop in energy consumption, which essentially pays for these products in eight years," Burke said.
The facility was closed for more than a month last summer while piping and lighting were replaced and the pool repainted.
Just about everything in the facility has been renovated or replaced.
"What we haven't messed with is the walls, which our structural engineer said are fine and in good condition, and the pool shell itself, which is in fine condition," Burke said.

I use Audio Damage plug-ins all the time. I have to admit I was excited to see them get into Eurorack Modular however I didn't grab any of their first efforts. On Chris Randall's blog Analog Industries he posted info on their new module called Sequencer 1. I will be grabbing this one day one. Besides it's myriad of features for the sequences themselves it has a mini keyboard quantizer (yes!) and a LCD screen with patch storage. This is fantastic. Expected to be released soon at about $600.
36HP, 20mm depth. 4 banks of 16 patterns, each pattern can be from 1 to 64 steps long. The entire state (all banks and patterns) can be saved to SD card as a preset, so the memory is essentially unlimited. Clock input can be per step (like any other sequencer's clock), or 24ppq or 48ppq for DIN sync (via a simple 5-pin DIN -> 3.5mm adaptor). Clock output can be a staggering number of choices, which is handy if the unit is acting as the master clock. The Run input can be operated a couple different ways, as can the output. In short, it can interface to pretty much anything clockish, and can in turn drive pretty much anything in a clocklike fashion. Each step gets a 1v/Oct output, three CV outputs (that can each be either 0-10v, -5 to +5v, or 0 to +5v), a main gate output, and an auxiliary gate output. Gate length is programmable per step. The playback modes are forward, reverse, pingpong, pingpong with double end triggers, skip forward, walk, and random. This is programmable per pattern. There are several ratcheting features; you can program a ratchet of various lengths per step, or you'll note the 6 buttons labeled "REP." These will repeat, in order, the last 8, 4, 2, or 1 steps as a loop, or cause the step you hit them on to repeat in half or quarter time. (In the same manner that the MIDI triggers in Replicant work, basically, if you own that plugin.) As I hinted before, SD card for storage and OS updates." – Chris Randall (Audio Damage)

The Stanford Center on Longevity focuses on improving – not prolonging – the quality of life as we age.
That's up to other organizations, said Los Altos resident Ken Smith, the center's director of academic and research support.
"We're not really shooting at immortality," he quipped.
An engineer with a graduate degree from the University of Washington, Smith has more than 20 years of management experience and most recently worked on Intel Corporation's network of university research labs.
Smith currently manages research on ways that people who "get to old age, whether you want to call that 55 or 75, need to be mentally fit, physically fit and financially fit." It takes planning and becoming "an entrepreneur of your time," he said.
Smith is scheduled to speak at "Get Involved/Get Active," a community expo on the role volunteering plays in healthful aging, during a Rotary Club of Los Altos lunch and workshop 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 2 at the Los Altos Youth Center, 1 N. San Antonio Road. Admission is free, but registration is required at www.losaltosrecreation.org.
Organized by Rotary's Partners for Elder Generations committee, the workshop will match "young seniors" – those 50 and up – with non-profits that need help. Hosting non-profits include The House Trust, the Community Services Agency and El Camino Hospital. Smith will speak on the longevity center's findings that exercise, diet, social connectedness and education lead to healthful aging.
Community involvement is crucial for seniors, because scientists find that social isolation can foreshadow a decline in health, Smith said.
"There are connections between health and community," he said. "The key is getting out."
Although people's social circles may shrink with time, the magic number is three close friends.
"Three seems to be a critical number, and ideally these are … a diverse mix," according to Smith.
In addition to social interaction, other positive influences on quality of life in old age include exercise, diet – with theories ranging from the benefits of high-protein to calorie-restricted diets – and education.
This doesn't necessarily mean getting an advanced degree, report the Stanford studies, but even just taking adult education classes.
"Even controlling for income … the more education you get, the longer you will live," Smith said.
Besides failing physical health, the most negative effect on quality of life is stress, particularly long-term stress. What causes stress? Most people would think executives or people with tremendous responsibility would have the highest stress levels. Not so, said Smith, who added that lack of control could be more stressful than lots of responsibility.
An estimated 130 Stanford faculty members have agreed to share their research on aging with the center, although the core group of center employees numbers 12. Consultants include former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, now nearly 90. One area of trailblazing research focuses on a study of the knee by Los Altos Hills resident and Stanford engineering professor Thomas Andriacchi, Ph.D.
Changing demographics indicate that baby boomers are living longer, and by the year 2030, 20 percent of the nation will be over 65 years old. When today's children grow old, living to 100 will be common, according to Stanford studies.
That certainly means that times have changed since The Beatles' song "When I'm Sixty-Four," an ode Paul McCartney wrote about his 57-year-old father in 1958. At the time, 64 seemed like old age, but now life expectancy is 84 for men, 86 for women. Most people will be retired for 20 years, according to center statistics.
"This can be a great opportunity," Smith said. "We're pretty well-known for having a pretty positive view on aging."
Molecular genetics also puzzles researchers, who are studying why some people will not get Parkinson's disease, even though they carry the genes for it.
"Basically, we want to give everyone the best shot (at aging) as possible," Smith said.
Smith said he loves his job.
"I get to go listen to teachers and talks given by people who are world class in their fields," he said. "I'm always the one who knows the least about any topic in the room."

JARED GOFF and Nick Kristofors each enjoyed success coming up through the youth football ranks in Novato, though their age difference kept them from ever becoming teammates there. When it came time to join the high school ranks, they went separate ways, with Kristofors enrolling at San Marin while Goff eventually selected Marin Catholic.
Those lessons learned in the pee-wee football ranks — Goff, for example quarterbacked a youth team that had an undefeated season when he was in eighth grade — and beyond served both players well, as their success this season allowed Goff to become the Marin Independent Journal offensive player of the year while Kristofors snagged the IJ's defensive player of the year honor.
Goff, a junior quarterback, enjoyed a record-setting fall for MC. He passed for 3,179 yards and 44 touchdowns for the Wildcats, who played their way into the North Coast Section Division III championship game before falling to Campolindo on a last-second field goal.
"I actually didn't want to play quarterback when I was little," Goff said. "I didn't understand that I should be playing quarterback because of my arm strength. Then as I grew up I became more aware of the position and all of the stuff that goes into it."
That awareness and a drive to be better, Marin Catholic coach Mazi Moayed said, are among the factors that make Goff so good.
"He's a great competitor," Moayed said. "When you get a guy who's sharp, usually that's the thing that they've got. And he has that in him big-time. He wants to be his best, he wants his team to be the best and he wants everyone around him to rise. He's a great competitor."
For Kristofors, a San Marin senior who helped the Mustangs post a 6-5 record, his success on the field was the result of sheer determination. Despite a lingering ankle injury which at times kept him from playing on the offensive line, as a defensive end he anchored a Mustangs' line that helped hold opponents to an average of 217.5 yards per game.
"I would have loved to have been 100 percent out there, but it's the game of football and there are injuries," Kristofors said. "And I got that one. It's kind of weird coping with some kind of inability that I hadn't experienced before but it's football. You get injured and you've just go to play through it. If I'm able to walk, then I'm playing."
San Marin coach Dan Hickey said the 240-pound Kristofors — who is mulling several NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision scholarship opportunities — is a special player.
"You know, he never gives up," Hickey said when asked what sets Kristofors apart from other players. "Even if the ball goes away from him on defense, he was always running downfield; his motor just never stops. He just loves the game."
"We (as coaches) try to obviously locate who's the opponent's top guys and Nick Kristofors, by far, sticks out ... for San Marin," Moayed said. "That's not taking anything away from their other players, but he's on the level of (former MC defensive lineman) Tony Popovich and guys like that. "... He's a super-dominant force."
Hickey had just as much admiration for Goff, who he helped coach when Goff was playing youth baseball.
"He is probably one of the best I've ever seen (as a high school quarterback)," Hickey said. "He's got the perfect frame for it. You know, he's got just an incredible arm. But more than anything else, he's got a great instinct and a great mind.
"Knowing him and his father (former Major League Baseball player Jerry Goff), he's got a huge future in this sport if he wants it. He's got all the tools and he's got a great disposition. He's one of the nicest kids I've ever met."
Goff said the heartbreak of Marin Catholic's NCS championship game loss will only inspire him to work harder next season. And that loss, he said, doesn't devalue what he and his teammates achieved in 2011.
"It was really nice," Goff said. "To create the brotherhood we did among every and the memories that will last us a lifetime — it was just a lot of fun from the day we started until (last Saturday)."
Kristofors expressed similar satisfaction with his team's season.
"I'm glad we at least made it to the playoffs," Kristofors said. "We had some fun games and some good, close games. I mean, this year we actually gave MC kind of a run for their money; it's the first year it wasn't a complete blowout. So definitely it was a good season."

City of Cambridge awards key to the city in recognition of work by Muskingum College professor
FEBRUARY 9, 2004 - Cambridge Mayor Sam Salupo recently awarded the key to the city to Muskingum College Assistant Professor of Political Science Dr. Walter Huber who has helped the City of Cambridge complete a wide range of complex and important projects.
Among these have been the city's constitutionally required redistricting, the redevelopment of its downtown area and an analysis of the future of its park system, as well as a study of the relationship between crime and geography.
The key to the city is a significant honor. "I really can't overstate the importance of what Dr. Huber and his students have done," Mayor Salupo said. "In a community like ours, resources are always limited but the demands on those resources are unlimited. Muskingum has provided us with invaluable resources that we otherwise would not have."
Mayor Salupo has been particularly impressed with the students involved in these projects. "I haven't met one student from Muskingum who would not be fully qualified, right now, to accept a professional position with this city or one similar to it. The commitment they've shown is hard to describe."
Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele recognized the extraordinary achievement and said, "These faculty members and students demonstrate the very best of what Muskingum College represents: a commitment to excellence and innovation in education that not only impacts the students themselves, but the communities in which they live. That is the kind of contribution for which our faculty and students are known."
Dr. Huber concluded, "This recognition really goes to our students and to Muskingum College. Without that combined effort and support, none of this would be possible."

Eli Tomac and his GEICO Honda crew stretched out their championship lead while also introducing Matt Bisceglia to the pro ranks in his rookie debut. Muscle Milk Honda's Justin Barcia was the hometown favorite, as he landed on the podium with a solid 2nd place overall.Yoshimura-backed GEICO Honda rider Eli Tomac took the overall victory by a landslide, by winning both 250 motos with a clear margin. In moto 1 he was off to a lackluster start, but battled through traffic and took the checkers and the moto win. In his 2nd race of the day, Tomac had to work past Martin Davalos and teammate Justin Bogle, before battling it out with rival Ken Roczen for the lead. Tomac moved past Roczen and remained unchallenged for his 2nd victory of the day. Yoshimura-backed teammate Zach Osborne started the day on the podium with a 3rd in moto 1 and finished with a 6th in moto 2 for 4th overall. Bogle captured 6th overall. Wil Hahn grabbed his 8th-straight holeshot of the season in moto 1, and finished the day with a 7th overall.GEICO Honda welcomed Matt Bisceglia to the pro ranks, with his rookie debut aboard his Yoshimura-backed machine. Bisceglia ran with the big dogs and showed that he has what it takes to become a force in the 250 class. He managed to break into the top 20, with a 19th place moto 2, and finish 20th overall. GEICO Honda leaves Unadilla once again with the red plate on Eli Tomac's machine — this time with a considerable 39-point lead over 2nd place. Osborne, Bogle, and Hahn currently sit 5th, 8th, and 15th, respectively, in the championship points.Yoshimura-backed Muscle Milk Honda rider Justin Barcia made the podium Saturday, with a 2nd overall. Barcia rode to a solid 4th place finish in moto 1 — to the tune of cheering hometown fans. Full of momentum in moto 2, Justin ran the pace of Ryan Villopoto for much of the race. Bam Bam was unchallenged for the number 2 spot in the second moto, which earned him 2nd overall. Barcia leaves Unadilla in 3rd place in the championship points. Muscle Milk Honda teammate Trey Canard was off to a great top 5 start in moto 1 before a track marker got caught in his bike, which resulted in a DNF. Moto 2 was also less than favorable to Canard, as he was involved in a nasty crash right off the start, the 41 machine cartwheeled several times, which forced Canard to pull off the track for repairs. The Honda mechanics replaced broken parts, and sent Canard back out to the track a lap down, but was still on pace, as he un-lapped himself by passing many riders in the top 10. He finished moto 2 with a hard-fought 26th, a modest number for such a great and awe-inspiring ride. He still sits comfortably 5th in the Championship standings. Yoshimura Suzuki's James Stewart was back in the hunt on Saturday, coming off an amazing performance at Millville. In moto 1, he started just outside of the top 5, then quickly moved past 3 riders to challenge Ryan Dungey for 2nd. Stewart would challenge Dungey for the duration of the race, and crossed the finish line closely in 3rd. Stewart hit the deck pretty hard in moto 2, which caused him to DNF. James would still take home 11th. Stewart currently sits comfortably in 4th in the Championship pointsYoshimura-backed RCH Suzuki rider Broc Tickle was 8-8 for 8th in New York, which landed him 8th in the Championship points. Tickle rode in an ultra-consistent manner, evading the DNF and drama which plagued many riders at Unadilla on Saturday. Tickle is poised to finish strong in 2013, and his consistent finishes prove that his top 10 speed is the result of dedication and training. Next weekend, Yoshimura riders head to Tooele, Utah for Round 11 of the 2013 AMA Pro Motocross Championship.450MX Results:2.

Rule 802.04 Artificial Devices -
"... The use of devices which assist in determining distances over 10 meters , such as range finders and GPS devices are prohibited."
Since you can use GPS on most smart phones today are they completely illegal to have in tournament play, or only if you use the GPS? I use my phone for tracking my stats and other various things, but don't use the GPS on it and was wondering if that would still be ok in a tournament to fill in that data during some downtime, or can you just not have them with you?
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I didn't find anything in the search.
