Steve Charles—Last week about this time afternoon classes were cancelled and students were presenting their work at the 13th Annual Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work. It was our largest ever, with more than 90 presentations. But here's one that didn't make the show.
It's about to show up in your mailbox, and much of it is the work of two Wabash students.
Senior Ian Grant spent last summer interviewing alumni at the Big Bash Reunion, covering events, and reviewing, scanning, and organizing thousands of historic photos (some not seen for decades) from the old News Bureau Archives. As our first intern for Wabash Magazine, he also served as an editorial assistant for an edition comprising some of those archival photos. And as the internship was a partnership between WM and the Wabash English Department, Ian also meet with Professors Eric Freeze and Marc Hudson and spent at least one hour a day writing his own work, separate from the magazine.
It was following one of those hour-long writing sessions in the Scarlett Inn—after two or three spontaneous conversations with alumni, faculty, and staff on the way out—that Ian turned to me and said, "I never realized how connected people are here."
The moment he said that, I knew we had chosen not only the right student to be our first intern, but a poet/writer who would become practically a co-editor of this issue of the magazine. His way of seeing connections drove not only his own section of the edition, but our creative approach to presenting these photos and inviting alumni, faculty, students and staff to share their own stories.
Senior Riley Floyd already had a sense of the depth of these connections. He had walked into my office last year after studying at Oxford University and noticed two large oars hanging on my wall. As I finished a phone call he studied the oars, and after I hung up he said, "I didn't realize you had studied at Oxford."
I hadn't. The oars had belonged to Wabash President Byron Trippet '28; he'd brought them home from Oxford in 1934, a gift of his fellow rowers on the Jesus College team. They were hanging in my office because no one else had wanted them.
Riley stood there with his mouth open. He didn't know much about President Trippet, or that he had studied at Oxford and rowed on the same River Isis that Riley had rowed on during his own time there. It didn't take long to persuade Riley to check out the archives and Trippet's experience and to write about his own, and Riley connected it with yet another: Wabash Professor of History Steve Morillo had rowed during his time at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in the 1980s.
"It's one boat rowing, and I'm just a part of it," Riley writes in a personal, thoughtful, reflective piece that makes a fitting conclusion to this issue of the magazine.
I wish I'd figured out a way to include both Ian's and Riley's Wabash Magazine work in last week's Celebration of Student Research, but I couldn't even attend. I was in Midland, Michigan doing a press check on the very issue that includes their remarkable efforts, watching it flash by my eyes at the rate of 50,000 impressions per hour as the web press made fast work of months of thought, collection, writing, photography, art direction, layout, and proofing.
But I'm proud of this issue of Wabash Magazine because of the way of seeing that these two Wabash seniors bring to us. The connections they made. It's a very inward-looking edition, asking for stories from alumni, faculty and staff from their own histories and recent pasts. Yet others may wonder at the connections between people here.
Researcher and nationally known speaker Brene Brown says that what ultimately gives meaning to our lives is that very sense of being connected. The Wabash community is a petri dish of connections—a place that reveals and inspires them practically every waking moment. That may be our greatest strength, the hidden secret behind so much of what we do well, the sense of being cared about that our students talk about.
Brown defines connection as "the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued."
When I think of it that way, watching Ian's sudden realization last summer of this place he's a part of, and hearing him say, "I never realized how connected people are here," was one of the most rewarding and reaffirming moments of my 17 years at Wabash.
I hope his way of seeing—and Riley's—comes through in the edition of Wabash Magazine about to arrive in your mailbox. It's something to celebrate.

New Book Release and Florida Festival on November Schedule of Author John Jakes '53
September 26, 2006
September 26, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - John Jakes, the author and 1953 graduate of DePauw University who has been called America's "godfather of the historical novel," is among the "headliners" slated to appear at Florida's Sarasota Reading Festival on November 4, reports the Naples Sun Times. "The Festival, which takes place all day at Five Points Park, will hold talks in author pavilions given over to key themes: Discovery and Environment, History and Current Events, Latino Culture, Cooking and Home, and Children and Young Adult," notes the newspaper.
Jakes will be joined at the event by fellow authors Jim Lehrer (also a PBS newsman and moderator), Michael Connelly, Jeff Shaara and Julianna Baggott, among others. Read more in the Sun Times story, or at the festival's Web site.
The author of sixteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers, John Jakes will release his latest book, The Gods of Newport, on November 7. Read more here.
"He is quite simply, a master of the ancient art of storytelling," opined the New York Times Book Review.
"Jakes' name has become synonymous with the Civil War novel," wrote Donna Hartman in the Bradenton Herald. "Perhaps his most famous effort is the North and South trilogy, which was made into an Emmy Award-winning television miniseries in 1985. Five of his other major novels were filmed as miniseries for television... Fame and fortune 'is not the kind of thing you daydream about,' Jakes added. 'I never imagined I'd have this kind of success.'" Learn more in this previous story.Back

Shaun Livingston thought he had done enough to have made the Rockets roster, but was not at all surprised when he didn't.
Livingston said the Rockets "absolutely" made a decision based on his contract rather than his play. Livingston, who returned with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, had just $1 million of the $3.5 million remaining on his contract guaranteed and was among the Rockets' final cuts, though Rockets coach Kevin McHale acknowledged that he had strongly advocated that the Rockets keep Livingston's experience as a backup point guard.
"I was not really surprised," Livingston said. "There were rumors of that type of situation unfolding. It's frustrating, but at the same time, it's part of the business and it's a part of being professional.
"It's no secret that's (Rockets general manager) Daryl Morey's strategy, how he is known. He is very complex with the cap and how he does things. It could end up working out for the best for them. I've been a victim of circumstances this season. That's been my theme this season."
Livingston signed with the Wizards, was cut, and then signed with the Cavaliers, moving into starting lineup when Kyrie Irving went out with a sprained left shoulder, offering Livingston a chance to show his ability to still contribute in his seventh NBA season.
"I would like to think so," Livingston said. "It's worked out well for me. Hopefully, it's worked out well for them. We're trying to win games. In the midst of doing there, there has been some decent production as an individual. It can only help. I'm trying to make the best of the opportunity."
McHale had hoped he would be doing that for the Rockets, but the Rockets kept rookie Scott Machado and his non-guaranteed contract.
"He's a great guy," McHale said. "Knows how to play. He's past so much of the stuff he had to get past as a young player to be a team player. He just has a whole vibe about him that's great.
"I was advocating very hard for his influence."

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Details of Disappearance
Marlon Santos disappeared from his Worcester foster home in 1998. He had been placed in the home in August 1998. The foster mother didn't report the baby missing for two days. Investigators were told that the foster mother left the baby and two other foster children, ages 2 and 3, in the house alone while she drove eight miles to East Middle School and back to pick up two of her biological children. She told police that when she returned, the baby was gone. Her husband was out of town. His wife had picked him up in New York before reporting the baby missing. Within a month, the foster father was charged with multiple counts of child rape of previous foster children. The baby's birth mother had been in and out of a local shelter and, by some accounts, often left the child with friends and strangers for days at a time. The baby's birth father had sought custody of the baby. In the first year after the baby's disappearance, police received information that Marlon could be found along the banks of the Wachusett Reservoir in Holden. A search turned up a baby blanket, diaper and several other items of interest, but the infant's remains were never found. Despite a rumor that the child was sold, possibly in New York, the district attorney has operated primarily on the theory that Baby Marlon is dead. No charges were ever lodged in connection with Marlon's disappearance and he has not been found.

Police and advocates for women on the White Earth Indian Reservation are trying to break the cycle of domestic violence.
A $700,000 federal grant will pay for a domestic violence investigator and expand a victims' advocacy program. The money also will fund a new women's shelter on the White Earth reservation this year.
The new programs will help address a crisis of violence. One in three American Indian women will be raped sometime in their life, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
American Indians also are twice as likely to be sexually assaulted compared to all other races.
On the White Earth Indian Reservation, officials say poverty, alcoholism and isolation contribute to an environment in which violence against women is all too common.
Assistant White Earth Human Services Director Ben Bement recalls trying to convince a woman to break the cycle of sexual abuse in her family.
"Her comment was, 'I lived through it, my kids will live through it.' " Bement said. "And that apathy is just part of the thing because there are so many barriers to overcome you almost give up."
Some of the barriers are beginning to come down because of education efforts, expanded advocacy programs, and more aggressive law enforcement.
Lorette Gjerde, director of the White Earth Down on Violence Everyday program, said that when the program started in 2004, she tracked 106 cases of domestic violence. Last year the program handled 174 cases.
"Domestic violence has actually changed a lot," Gjerde said "People are coming forward, they're reporting, they're following through with orders for protection. They're calling if there's a violation of the order. I've seen a big improvement and lot's of people coming forward and reporting."
But there are still many barriers to reducing violence against women in small communities where everyone knows each other, and women are often isolated, Gjerde said.
The nearest women's shelters in Detroit Lakes, Bemidji or Thief River Falls are an hour or more away from any reservation communities, too far for a woman without a car to travel.
"Isolation is a big issue because the victims that we work with usually don't have a vehicle; they don't have a way to get anywhere," Gjerde said. "They need to depend on the abuser or his family or their family. It's a big barrier."
A new eight-bed shelter to be built this year will be the only shelter on the reservation, and will offer a safe place closer to home.
While more domestic violence cases are being reported, Gjerde believes many sexual assault cases still go unreported.
White Earth Police Chief Randy Goodwin hopes a new sexual assault and domestic violence investigator hired this year will send a message to the community.
In the past, White Earth police would have turned domestic violence and sexual assault cases over to one of three local county sheriff's departments in Becker, Clearwater or Mahnomen counties. But now, those cases will be handled by tribal police as part of a law enforcement expansion at White Earth. Goodwin said tribal investigators will present the cases to prosecutors in the county where the allege crime occurs.
"By the time they finish their investigation, it is a fairly strong case that is being presented to the county attorney's office for prosecution," Goodwin said. "We don't have any numbers back on it yet, but I would venture to say we will have a very high conviction rate on those cases."
In the first three months of this year, the new investigator opened 16 sexual assault cases, Goodwin said. That's one more than the DOVE program tracked for the entire year last year.
He said more aggressive law enforcement will help protect victims, but education is the key to changing community values.
"The cycle of sexual assault, sexual abuse, domestic violence is a horrific cycle. But it's one of those cycles that have to be broken," Goodwin said. "When children see this going on on a daily basis they think it's just a way of life. And they have to learn that it's not."
Assistant White Earth Human Services Director Ben Bement agrees that changing community attitudes is critical.
Bement said violence against women was not accepted in traditional Indian culture. He said a return to those community standards will require the men of White Earth to step forward.
"We're still searching to get men actively involved," Bement said. "To get them to stand up and say hey this is not okay. It's not traditional, it doesn't show respect, and to stand up and say enough is enough."

How do I extract the Doom 3 SDK in linux?
I have been trying to get the Doom 3 SDK, and all I have been able to find is an exe file (which contains the source) and a Makefile. Running the exe in wine does not work. How do I extract it?
Open a terminal.
Change to the directory that contains the D3SDK .exe file.
Type file *
If it comes back saying something like "doom3sdk.exe Elf 32bit binary executable, stripped, yadda, yadda, yadda" then it's actually a Linux executable file so you should chmod +x doom3sdk.exe and then ./doom3sdk.exe. For some reason some people still insist on giving some Linux files unnecessary filename extensions!
If it comes back with anything else, then post the output of the command file *
The doom3 sdk is shipped as a self installing windows executable, you have two choices, install it on a windows machine and copy the files over, or use wine to install it. I used the second method without any problems, Also you will need to provide a Makefile to build the SDK, which you can find an example of here:
I had to adjust some 'whitespaces' when I cut 'n' pasted the above example, but after that it build cleanly enough.
Happy modding.
I tried running it in Wine. It pops up saying "Unable to extract the file (null)". It does slightly different things if I set the emulated windows version to something else, but it always fails.
You probably need to install dcom98 and Windows Installer V2.0 before wine will run the doom3sdk.exe correctly.

Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
OXFORD, Miss. — University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones and Athletic Director Ross Bjork issued a joint statement on Tuesday's incident. The statement includes an apology on behalf of the university's 22,000 students, its faculty and its staff.
"While we work to determine with certainty who disrupted the Laramie Project play, we want everyone within our university community and beyond to know that we strongly condemn the behavior exhibited Tuesday night," the statement reads.
It also notes that Jones and Bjork will meet today with freshman student athletes from various sports who attended the play and have a dialogue about what happened, about the university-wide commitment to inclusivity and civility and about the important role they play in representing the university. The entire statement is below the text of the article.
OXFORD – The University of Mississippi is investigating a Tuesday night incident in which students allegedly disrupted a theater department production and used gay slurs.
The Daily Mississippian student newspaper reported that members of an audience of mostly Ole Miss students, including about 20 football players, openly disrupted the Ole Miss theater department's production of "The Laramie Project" on Tuesday night at Meek Auditorium.
The play is about the death of an openly gay Wyoming college student, who was brutally beaten and left to die. The play's director, Rory Ledbetter, told the Daily Mississippian that audience members used derogatory slurs and heckled cast members.
UM Dean of Students Sparky Rearon said on Thursday morning that the university is investigating the incident. The university's Bias Incident Response Team met about it on Thursday morning and will make a report to the university.
The BIRT is a group of about five faculty and staff members charged with investigating incidents of possible discrimination. Having such a team is not unique to Ole Miss.
"They want to make certain they have all the facts of what actually occurred and then they'll make a recommendation to the university on how to move forward," said UM Director of Public Relations Danny Blanton.
The UM Athletic Department is aware of the incident and is gathering information, and head coach Hugh Freeze said this morning that he was just beginning to look into the matter. He also said he had learned that there was "a lot of laughter by all students in attendance."
STATEMENT from Dan Jones and Ross Bjork:
"While we work to determine with certainty who disrupted the Laramie Project play, we want everyone within our university community and beyond to know that we strongly condemn the behavior exhibited Tuesday night. As a member of the Ole Miss family, each of us has a responsibility to be accountable for our actions, and these individuals will be held accountable. Our investigation will determine the degree to which any and all students were involved.
As a first step to addressing behavior at the performance Tuesday night, we will meet today with the freshman student-athletes (from various sports) who attended the play and have a dialogue about what happened, about our university-wide commitment to inclusivity and civility, and about the important role they play in representing the university. It is clear that some students badly misrepresented the culture of this university. From there, we will work with Student-Affairs and the Bias Incident Response Team to determine the facts and appropriate next steps.
Incidents like this remind all educators that our job is to prepare our students to be leaders in life during their years on campus and after they graduate from Ole Miss. This behavior by some students reflects poorly on all of us, and it reinforces our commitment to teaching inclusivity and civility to young people who still have much to learn. We will be engaging our student-athletes with leaders on the subject of individuality and tolerance, so we can further enforce life lessons and develop them to their fullest potential.
On behalf of our 22,000 students, our faculty, and our staff, we apologize."

The tswtclmt metering module estimates average bandwidth for a traffic class by using a time-based rate estimator. tswtclmt always operates as a three-outcome meter. The rate estimator provides an estimate of the flow's arrival rate. This rate should approximate the running average bandwidth of the traffic stream over a specific period or time, its time window. The rate estimation algorithm is taken from RFC 2859, A Time Sliding Window Three Colour Marker.
You use the following parameters to configure tswtclmt:
committed_rate – Specifies the committed rate in bits per second
peak_rate – Specifies the peak rate in bits per second
window – Defines the time window, in milliseconds over which history of average bandwidth is kept

IStackWalk.PermitOnly Method
Causes every Demand for all objects except the current one that passes through the calling code to fail, even if code higher in the call stack has been granted permission to access other resources.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
PermitOnly is similar to Deny, in that both cause stack walks to fail when they would otherwise succeed. The difference is that Deny specifies permissions that will cause the stack walk to fail, but PermitOnly specifies the only permissions that do not cause the stack walk to fail. Call this method to ensure that your code can be used to access only the specified resources.
PermitOnly is ignored for a permission not granted because a demand for that permission will not succeed. However, if code lower on the call stack later calls Demand for that permission, a SecurityException is thrown when the stack walk reaches the code that tried to call PermitOnly. This is because the code that called PermitOnly has not been granted the permission, even though it called PermitOnly for that permission. The call stack is typically represented as growing down, so that methods higher in the call stack call methods lower in the call stack.

text: Hi all. I am a total newbie when it comes to lawn care or even getting grass to grow, so thats why I thought I would ask the seasoned professionals their opinions before I start getting bids from landscapers in my area. We moved into a new house in northern Alabama in November and have a 3 acre lot that has a low point in the middle. Our lot is at a lower elevation than most of the surrounding land, which was once a farm, so during heavy rain all the water has to go down somewhere, and thats through our lot. I saw that water would run through prior to when we started building because the high grass through the middle of the lot would be bent over after a very heavy rain. During construction I had the builder put a nice large swale through the middle of our property to contain the water during heavy rain, and let me tell you, it was a great when it did rain. Our other neighbors don't have a swale and their backyards were flooded, but other than our swale we had no problems and our lot was dry within a day, meanwhile they had standing water. So, now for the grass talk. Since the swale was graded during construction we have no grass, and during the two heavy rainstorms we've had all the topsoil got washed away and ended up in my neighbors yard. After the rainy season this spring I want to pay a professional to come in, grade the swale, and get some hearty grass growing in there so next fall when the rains come back we don't have erosion problems. The one thing I notices was that after the heavy rain there was pile of concrete and bricks that was uncovered, so sometime in the past someone dumped construction materials in our lot and covered it up. I'm not sure if we should dig it out, or just cover it up with top soil. I included two picture below of our swale. When I call in a pro what should I tell him to do, or what should I expect him to say? I want to make sure the job is done right and I'm willing to pay for it, but I don't want to pay over and over again. I appreciate any help you can provide. If you know of a good landscaper in the Huntsville, AL area please send me their contact info. Thanks! Bob

Sleepless Pacific, a Poway teen band, has hopes of winning the National Association of Music Merchants SchoolJam USA band contest, but needs 5,000 online votes by Nov. 30.
Their music, along with that of other contestants, will be judged by industry professionals, but public opinion also counts, according to contest officials.
To vote for this band, or any of the others, go to www.schooljamusa.com.
James Bishop, guitarist and vocalist for Sleepless Pacific, describes his group's music as alternative rock, not "hard," but easy to listen to.
"We're not as loud as many teen bands — we're pretty rhythmic," Bishop said.
The band is composed of Bishop; Taylor Eldreth, drums; Esteban Cervantes, guitar and lyrics; and Robin Morris, bass guitar.
Cervantes attends Rancho Bernardo High School and the others are Poway High School students,
Bishop comes from a musical family; Eldreth likes to drum on anything and everything and when not drumming, runs with his school's cross country team; Cervantes dreams of owning his own brand of guitars and would like to play the blues with John Mayer; while Morris, a classically trained musician, plays bassoon, piano and almost any other instrument, would like to travel the world and play music during the adventure.
Some of their music includes "Sleepless," "Are You Listening," and "Love Never Ends."
Band members have performed at several venues, such as the Epicentre in Mira Mesa, during this year's Battle of the Bands at Poway Valley Riders Association and during the San Diego County Fair.
To hear their songs go to facebook/sleeplesspacific, or search YouTube.
To reach the finals at Downtown Disney in Anaheim on Saturday, Jan. 21, Sleepless Pacific must be in the top eight bands in the country, based on judging and online votes.
The top band will receive $5,000 and finalists will win $1,000 each for their school band programs.
As finalists, all eight bands will also receive prize money to purchase new equipment from a registered NAMM member.
Included in the first-place winner's package is a trip to Germany 2012 to compete at SchoolJam Germany.

Another one from Courtney…I've been drinking the samples she sent me daily and somehow my tea cupboard still looks equally as full day after day. I'm not complaining in any way, but I'm worried that my teas are somehow multiplying…like that scene in Gremlins where Corey Feldman accidentally spills water on Gizmo and he multiplies into a bunch of mogwai…I don't see how Gremlins and tea have anything to do with each other, but that's where my brain went…
Anyway, I steeped the sample of Cookie Dough this morning. This was one of the samples I was really excited to try since I found out it was being sent to me, but due to all of the fantastic teas Courtney sent my way, I'm only now getting around to trying it…and it did not disappoint.
I have to admit, for some reason I assumed it was going to taste like chocolate chip cookie dough, as opposed to the million other types of cookie dough that are possible. And while I did find it tasted like a baked good of some sort, I don't know if it was really all that cookie to me.
I really liked how all of the flavors blended together and that no flavor was overly powerful on its own. Unfortunately, I didn't give this tea the time it deserved for me to smell it and try and pick out individual ingredients and flavors; I was too busy enjoying the warm deliciousness on this cold Nova Scotia day.
I'm pretty sour at DAVIDs TEA for not bringing this one back, as I understand it was a Winter Collection tea from a previous year(s). I also found out today that another favorite of mine from DAVIDs has been discontinued. Not impressed David. Not impressed.

Conference Examines Responsibilities of the Catholic University
BY Tim Drake
| Posted 11/17/09 at 4:33 PM
The Vatican announced late last week that the Pontifical Gregorian University is planning a conference to discuss the responsibilities of Catholic universities.
Titled "The Catholic University in Postmodern Societies," the conference is being held Nov. 16-20 by the International Federation of Catholic Universities.
According to Pedro Nel Medina Varon, adjunct secretary general of the university federation, the Catholic university has three primary responsibilities.
The first is "preserving the Catholic tradition," said Varon. He added that that includes "the beliefs and values transmitted by the Gospel." The second is "the integral education of the person." The third, he said, is "service to the Church and the preservation of the Catholic intellectual tradition."

Sky Italia say Arsenal are chasing Hellas Verona's €4m-rated Brazilian starlet Jorginho
Italy's Sky Sports has reported linked Arsenal with a move for Hellas Verona's Brazilian-born midfielder Jorginho.
Jorginho has been attracting rave reviews this season in Serie B.
The 21-year-old, who stands at 1.80 meters while commanding a central midfield role in the Verona XI, has reportedly got the likes of Lazio, AC Milan, Napoli and Fiorentina all vying for his signature. Now, so says the rumour mill, Arsene Wenger is also taking a look at the youngster.
There are plenty of factors to dismiss the transfer report as fanciful at best.
Few concrete sources can be unearthed to offer credence to the Sky Sports Italia story, while the main sense that there may be some truth to this piece of gossip stems for the circumstantial evidence that Arsene Wenger likes to find diamonds in the rough who he can then polish up into star performers.
Yet with Arsenal light in midfield with Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby and Francis Coquelin all missing from the first team at the moment, the Gunners arguably do need extra midfield bodies for second half of the campaign.
Little footage of Joringho is found online, however the Brazilian's only goal of the season against Modena from December 30 2012 can be seen below.

LIVE FROM MED WEEK: A Chat with Anthony Bryant from Tiger Personnel Services Inc.
LIVE FROM MED WEEK: A Chat with Anthony Bryant from Tiger Personnel Services Inc.
It's Nico with SBA's Office of Communications and Public Liaison. This week I'm live blogging from the 29th Annual Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week conference in Washington, DC.
The welcome remarks have ended, and the conference has split into three separate tracks, with panels on contracting, financing and international markets.
After the presentation for Access to Contracts: Doing Business with the Federal Government, I caught up with Tiger Staffing's Anthony Bryant. Here are some excerpts from our chat:
What does your business do?
We're a staffing company based in Silver Spring, MD. We're a Women-Owned Small Business(WOSB) and we're about to graduate from the 8(a) program. We have worked on contracts with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other agencies. We staff all kinds of service functions – it's really from A to Z.
What do you like about the staffing industry?
Staffing gives a sense of satisfaction – you can hire talented professionals. Because we do background checks and rigorous hiring processes, we eliminate some of those steps for government agencies, so they can recruit talent in a more streamlined manner.
What are you looking forward to at this year's MED Week?
Networking. There are actually very few small staffing companies like ours, and even less minority-owned ones – lots of the industry is occupied by larger companies. So we're interested in finding opportunities for our smaller company; for example, subcontracting opportunities.
Sponsored by the SBA and the U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), MED week gives minority business owners from across the country an opportunity to learn about growing their business, accessing capital and new markets, hearing from top Administration officials, and networking with other business owners.


text: I emailed Masterbuilt about the new generation smoker. This is what they said: Thank you for contacting Masterbuilt. The model 20075315 is our newly designed Gen 11 smoker and is just like our other GEN 11 smokers but, all of the parts are replaceable for the newest smoker. The motherboard, internal wiring and all of that is not replaceable. That is the only difference in this newer model and our older models. Please let me know if you have any further questions. I was hoping they would say they made changes to the temperature gage to address the differences everyone has been mentioning, and the drip pan, although the pictures look like the drip pan was redesigned. I thought I would share. I haven't seen anyone post about the new generation yet.

Big Swingers: Five Best Hammocks

You're not one to take it for granted, are you? Of course, there are those tiny slivers of respite between tackling rapids on your SUP board and trucking along some of the best mountain biking single track in the country, and you are feeling mighty pooped, what with all the adventure and bravado. Sounds like it's time to catch some suspended reprieve: you're in desperate need of a hammock, partner.

FC Tucson's lone goal scored by local star Donny Toia.
Tucson, AZ (Saturday, July 21, 2012) — Following FC Tucson's 2-1 loss to Sounders FC U23 in the Western Conference semifinals, the silence in FC Tucson's makeshift locker room was deafening. Because just 20 minutes prior, much like FC Tucson had experienced in 2012, the team had no problems building up attacks and frustrating the opposing defense.
They just couldn't finish.
"It's difficult when the guys play that way, make two mistakes, and we lose 2-1," said FC Tucson head coach Rick Schantz. "But that's soccer. That's the greatest thing about this sport. There have been games this year that we won that we didn't deserve to win and I can only say I'm extremely proud of their effort. … I'm not disappointed."
FC Tucson drew first blood in the conference semifinal just two minutes into the second half. Carlos Montes slipped the ball into Donny Toia's feet, and the local star had plenty of space on the left side of the field to attack the goal box and then slot a shot into the lower right corner of the net.
But it was the last time a smart build up resulted in a goal for FC Tucson. Just two mistakes in the last 40 minutes of the game became the difference.
In the 55th minute, after a Sounders attack, the FC Tucson defense found itself on its heels inside the box. Without anyone to definitively clear the ball, it continued to bounce around until the Sounders' Darwin Jones found it in space and banged in the tying goal.
"When the ball is inside your six-yard box, someone has to take control, someone just has to step up and win it," said Dom Papa. "We hesitated and when you hesitate all is lost."
Then in the 64th minute, an FC Tucson giveaway deep in their own third led to a Sounders counter which forced goalkeeper Michael D'Arrigo to come out toward the top of the box to cut off the shooter's angle. But the Sounders' Sean Morris successfully evaded the keeper and easily put the ball into the back of a wide-open net for the eventual game winner.
Despite the deficit, FC Tucson's attack continued to be effective right through to the final whistle. The Sounders' defenders became increasingly frustrated, even yelling at each other at moments, as FC Tucson sent in wave after wave of attacks. But inside the final third, FC Tucson was missing that final pass to break someone free. Despite the high tension, no shot challenged the Sounders' keeper as most shots were either stopped by the defense or went off frame.
"There's no quit in this group," Schantz said. "I always tell people we'll never be an easy out and, I'll tell you what, Seattle is in their locker room right now and they're very, very happy right now because they beat a good team."

Vancouver mayor meets with protesters
A tent city has been set up in Oppenheimer Park. (SUBMITTED)
After campaigning on a promise to end street homelessness by 2015, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson is now saying the issue is not within his jurisdiction.
The statement comes after a group of protesters, who have been camping in Oppenheimer Park to advocate for the homeless, stormed Tuesday morning's city council meeting and secured a private meeting with the mayor and several councillors.
Though the city issued an eviction notice to the campers last week, Robertson is now saying city council stands with the group.
"People who are camped out in the park do need support," he said, adding he plans to advocate for the homeless by asking for the provincial and federal governments to step in. "They're actually more responsible."
Some First Nations members among the campers have argued they have a right to stay in the park because it belongs to them, pointing to a formal declaration from council at the end of June that the city sits on unceded traditional territory.
"We're very thankful that they listened," said camper CeeJai Juliam. She said she would like to see some action immediately, including having portable toilets installed, washrooms kept open and for the police and parks officials to stop "harassing" the campers.

ANAHEIM –Dr. Sammy Lee on Tuesday became the eleventh recipient of a star on the Anaheim/OC Walk of Stars.
A first generation Korean-American, Lee won a gold medal in diving at the 1948 London Olympic Games and again in 1952 at Helsinki. He became the first male diver to win back-to-back golds.
Lee, a physician, coached the American diving team, and in 1976 he coached Olympian Greg Louganis to a silver medal.
"This is a special day. It's not everyday a man gets to look at his headstone," Lee, 88, joked about the star to a crowd of 100. "And I'm so proud that my grandchildren get to share this with me – they're my angels."
His star is on Harbor Boulevard, just south of the entrance to Disneyland.
Fellow Olympic diver Pat McCormick, who won four golds and now lives in Seal Beach, spoke with great affection of Lee as a calming force. She recalled being up against Soviets and a bundle of nerves: She knew that it was her dive that would determine if the gold medal went to the U.S. or a rival country.
"Sammy put a hand on my shoulder (and said), 'It's just like any other dive.' "
The 5-foot-2 Lee, who lives in Huntington Beach, on Tuesday spoke very little about the Olympics. Instead, he focused on his love for his family: his wife, Roz, his children and grandchildren.

In the begining of the show the guard will be against a large prop in the back of the field that resembles a wall. The guard will act as the Graffiti on the wall and at some time during the show spraypaint on the wall. The colorguard will remove parts of the graffiti off of thier uniforms throughout the show. We will also create an effect of an instant costume change. We'll have double sided and custom made flags for effect. At the end of the show one guard person will turn around and will be the only guard person left with Graffiti on their back. It will be absolutely incrdible if we can pull it off.

I've never heard of anyone doing "A Tribute to the Eagles." But I've seen a lot of groups make their theme all around one band's music. I've seen a group perform to music by Queen, it was awesome!

Our school has always done somewhat dark and odd titles...
My first year it was Electricity (not too odd), last year it was The Scream (based off the painting The Scream), and this year it's Indigenous (like native. No, not corny with bow and arrows and feathers. More abstract and extremely violent).

Our show is Escapade.. The music is by Joseph Spaniola. It's so amazing. In segment 1, the whole guard starts out dancing, then it splits into dancers and rifles, then about 2/3 through the dancers pull out swing flags. Segment 2 starts out with flags and sabres, then everyone is on flag, then all the flags pick up rifles. At the end of segment 2 (the ballad), we're going to throw our guns down and the "funk" section will begin, and everyone will dance (including flutes!). Then the whole guard will leave the field and come back in groups of 7, and segment 3 will be a whole guard flag feature. Another cool thing is our uniforms. They will start out all gray with a green stripe at the neck and the tops will be 3/4 sleeves and the pants will be capri-length. After segment 1, we will pull out our sleeves to full length and have a purple stripe on the arms and spin purple flags. After the segment 2, we will pull the pant legs out and have a blue stripe and then we'll spin blue flags during segment 3 (after the funk). Then when we leave the field, we'll tuck the colors back in and come out in just gray again. It's going to be so amazing. I can't wait til we perform.

In a courtroom in Utah this week, Elizabeth Smart is revisiting the darkest days of her life's journey. But her testimony comes during a short break from a spiritual journey — one that has shielded her from reminders of her abduction, the nine-month ordeal and the attention that's followed her.
For more than a year, Smart, who recently turned 23, has been in the midst of her LDS Church mission, a rite of passage hallowed by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Serving in Paris, France, she is among the 52,000 Mormon missionaries - most of them young adults; the others retired couples - who are knocking on doors and speaking 107 different languages in 180 countries, according to Lyman Kirkland, a church spokesman.
Those overseeing Smart's mission didn't return a call to CNN to discuss her missionary work. But if her time in the field is typical, here's a glimpse into how she's been living.Comment on this story
She's been cut off from television, barred from seeing movies and prohibited from following the news. The only music she hears is church-approved. She wakes at 6:30 a.m. everyday to study the gospel by herself and with another young woman missionary known as her companion.
Barring the one day a week when she and her companion can do laundry, run errands, write letters home and, time permitting, go sightseeing, Smart's days are spent with her Book of Mormon in hand, reaching out to strangers and teaching those who will listen.

Well, that sucked.
Going into Thursday, it hadn't looked like all that bad a June. We still were looking at 5% gain out of the markets' early-June investment shares[1] depths, and 1% for the month-to-date. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT[2]) excited the tech world by unveiling the Surface tablet, potentially making the Microsoft-Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[3]) rivalry worth paying attention to again. And Greece … well, it didn't fall into the Aegean, so it got a check mark, too.
Then the indices took a roughly 2% dive Thursday — and while that didn't put us under for June, it made some recent economic and market red flags look a little bit redder.
Specifically, the words "guidance" and "lowered" have been paired together in the past couple weeks a disturbingly number of times — and considering the broad swath of sectors we're talking about here, these seemingly disjointed news bytes — coupled with a seeming end to recent momentum — might be reason enough for a healthy dose of caution heading forward.
First, a look at the recent crap dealt out at the national level:
U.S. GDP: This is the biggie. The Federal Reserve's economic projections for U.S. gross domestic product was dumped Wednesday to a range of 1.9%-2.4%, down from gains of 2.4%-2.9% forecast in April. 2013's prospects have been lowered, too, from 2.7%-3.1% to 2.2%-2.8%. By the way, in the same report, clouds formed over the forecasts for …
U.S. Jobs: Not that we shouldn't have seen this coming. We've been inundated with a number of lousy jobs reports[4], not to mention the individual layoff headlines[5] coming out from scores of big businesses. Still, no one was happy to hear that the Fed doesn't expect the unemployment rate to duck below 8% anymore. Projections for unemployment sit at 8%-8.2% from 7.8%-8% in April, and 2013's unemployment rate forecasts were a few basis points lower, too. Even more depressing: The "real" number is shockingly worse[6].
Chinese Manufacturing: The Chinese manufacturing purchasing managers' index reading, out Thursday, dropped from 48.4 in May to 48.1 in June. Anything sub-50 means manufacturing is shrinking. In HSBC's report, its chief economist said, "With external headwinds remaining strong, exports are likely to decelerate in the coming months." Those headwinds? Crummy ol' Europe and … a slowing U.S. economy.
In addition to the larger economic reports, a number of individual publicly traded companies across numerous sectors also have hedged their expectations as of late:
Procter & Gamble: Diversified consumer goods company Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG[7]) — which makes everything from Old Spice deodorant to Iams pet food — is worried about foreign exchange rates and weakness in developed markets. Whereas it expected revenues to grow 1%-2% in the fourth quarter, PG now is calling for a loss of the same measure, and it dropped Q4 earnings projections to 75-79 cents per share from 79-85 cents.
Philip Morris International: Citing currency concerns just like P&G, tobacco giant Philip Morris (NYSE:PM[8]) dropped earnings projections to $5.10-$5.20 per share from its April forecast of $5.20-$5.30 per share.
Adobe: The maker of PhotoShop and Acrobat, Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADOBE) felt the crunch Wednesday (and a bit more Thursday) after trimming its fiscal-year revenue growth forecast from 6%-8% to 6%-7%. Its current-quarter expectations of 59 cents in earnings per share on $1.1 billion in revenues also are short of analyst calls.
Rite Aid: Drugstore stock Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD[9]) lowered fiscal 2013 projections of $25.4 billion-$25.8 billion in revenues and flat-to-1.5% growth in same-store sales, now expecting revenues of $25.3 billion-$25.7 billion in sales and a 0.5%-1% decline in same-store sales. It also expects a net loss of 13-29 cents per share.
Body Central: Small-cap young women's retailer Body Central (NASDAQ:BODY[10]) was cut in half on Monday after lowering its full-year guidance. It previously expected earnings of 26-28 cents per share on revenue of $80 million-$82 million — that has been hacked to forecasts for 19-21 cents on $77 million-$79 million in sales.
The retail sector also has had a couple other guidance warning flares. Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY[11]) got absolutely hammered Thursday after putting out disappointing earnings forecasts. And shoe retailer DSW (NYSE:DSW[12]) rocked the entire footwear sector earlier this week when its second-quarter EPS guidance of 60-64 cents fell well shy of the 76-cent analyst mark.
All that isn't to say that Wall Street is about to crumble, but it does mean you should be on watch for more of the same. If European headlines continue to frighten, or earnings start getting ugly in earnest, there could be a lot more slump left this summer.

Re: Fought (Focht) Family
In reply to:
Fought (Focht) Family
Leigh Kramer 3/17/05
Seen your posting on the Fought family. Dont know much about the fought family of which I'm descendant but my line of the fought family I'm guessing would be from the unityville. pa area seen thats where they were living.
My Great great great grandmother was Elizabeth Fought Fenstermacher 1/8/1834 - 5/19/1897 she married William Jackson Fenstermacher. I have that their both buried in Salem cem unityville, pa but I believe thats incorrect cause havent been able to locate them and thinking I found other evidence to prove they might be buried somewhere else.
Also Elizabeth had a sister Julia Fought Fenstermacher 11/2/1852 - 4/25/1892 married Charles Fenstermacher and have that their buried at Pine Summit Cem. though uncertain if their there or not been a while since I've been to that cem to verify.
Not certain if theres a connect to your fought family line though thinking there might be a good chance of it.
