The membership of the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) elected Jeff Vonk, Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, as its new president on Sept. 12 during AFWA's 102nd Annual Meeting in Hilton Head Island, S.C.
"We're in a time of great change and how we influence national policy is central," Vonk said. "The election is going to be a lynch pin and will present opportunities and challenges."
In accepting AFWA's presidency, Vonk conveyed that though it may be a daunting task to lead the Association, he intends to summon the strength of its members.
"In these uncertain times, we will all be called to act-and the call will come," said Vonk. "I'll call on you because collectively we do know the answers."
Other action items on Vonk's presidential agenda include launching a task force on the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation. Vonk also plans to activate a new Technology Committee and develop a cohesive strategy to protect state authority for fish and wildlife conservation.
"I'm going to work hard for you and I'll do my best to represent this organization in a positive way," concluded Vonk.
Vonk currently serves as the chair of AFWA's Agricultural Conservation Committee and as a member of the Energy and Wildlife Policy, Wildlife Resource Policy and Leadership and Professional Development Committees. He also represents AFWA's interests on the boards of the American Wind Wildlife Institute and the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports. Vonk will serve as AFWA President through September 2013.
Prior to joining the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks in 2007, Vonk served as Director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources from 2001-2006. Previously, he worked for 22 years with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
He holds an M.S. in Wildlife Management from the University of Maine at Orono; a B.S in Forest Biology from SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry and a B.S. in Biology from Syracuse University.
Also at AFWA's Annual Meeting, Dan Forster, Director of the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division, was elected Vice President; Larry Voyles, Director of the Arizona Game and Fish Department, was named Chair of AFWA's Executive Committee; and Carter Smith, Director of Texas Parks and Wildlife, was named Vice-Chair of the Executive Committee. Virgil Moore, Idaho Fish & Game Department and Bob Ziehmer, Missouri Department of Conservation, were selected as new members of the Executive Committee.

One good thing came out of Hurricane Sandy for Mark Dye and Elizabeth Ward. Flooding drove them out of one home but landed them in a place they really love. Mark, a photojournalist, has been living in Jersey City for six years. Elizabeth, a production manager at the Gap, has been living in Jersey City for 10 years. They live with two dogs, Roxy and Bleu.
They were renting a garden-level apartment in Van Vorst Park when the storm hit. "We were under three feet of water," Dye said. "We had to move. We weren't planning on moving at the time, but this forced us to look around. We looked at every building around the Madox."
Which means downtown. They'd been living in FEMA housing and couldn't wait to get to the new place in mid-December.
"It's on the third floor, overlooking the light rail and a little bit of the harbor with boats," Dye says. "If water ever got that high, we would all be in trouble." But they also didn't want to be too high up because they'd heard horror stories of people walking up 30 flights of stairs when the power went out.
"The Madox had the nicest amenities," Dye says. "A full-size fridge, gas range, quiet dishwasher, brand new washer/dryer, Kohler fixtures. They put a lot of effort into good design and high-quality appliances and fixtures."
The space reflects the occupants' own personal aesthetic. "There's a modern look and feel to the apartment," Dye says. "Clean and open but not necessarily minimalist. I love mid-century modern furniture. We have an Eames-style table and chairs; the metal survived the flood. We also have antiques and found objects."
The public spaces include an attractive lobby, club room, gym, and roof deck, with a view of Manhattan.
"We love Paulus Hook," Dye says. "We work in Manhattan, and you get off the train, it's quieter. It's friendly. A lot of people are walking dogs and pushing baby carriages. We never feel threatened our unsafe. We're a half a block from the water. We're happy to be home."
But that's not to say that they don't frequent some of the neighborhood spots, including PJ Ryan's, Amelia's, the Light Horse, Satis, Legal Grounds, which has reopened after Sandy, and the White Star, which used to be the Harbor Casino.
Best of all? They actually met at Edward's Steak House.
Don't be fooled by the modest look and feel of this residential building on Magnolia. It has a canopy out front and colorful tiles in the entryway. Jimmy Lam and Oskar Torres occupy an artful and art-filled space on the fifth floor. It's not large. The 900-square-foot space has a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom.
The windows overlook Journal Square. Torres says he enjoys watching the planes on their (silent) journey toward Newark Airport. His favorite color is orange, and he says he loves to watch the sunsets. He grew up in Brooklyn and Queens and has been living in Jersey City for 14 years.
Lam, a writer from the Dominican Republic, has been in Jersey City for eight years. His subject is identity politics, which he addresses in cultural and political essays, poetry, and short stories.
Torres's first foray into Jersey City was not a success. He landed at the Grove Street PATH. You can't see the river from there, so he thought it was too far away from Manhattan, and nixed the idea of living there.
Eventually he found his sense of direction and got an apartment on Grove Street. But he had friends up Magnolia way. "I always liked the building from the outside," Torres says. "I happened to be walking by and went into the office to see if they had apartments."
And the rest is history. The couple has been living there for three years.
It's not by chance that the apartment is so artfully decorated. Torres is an interior designer who owns Antique Textiles on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. Their travels in search of fine textiles have taken them to Paris, Turkey, all around the United States, and many other locales.
Lam says that making pillows, curtains, or upholstery from these fine textiles gives them "new life." Their home is a bit like a fine textile—intricately woven with a unique mix of fabrics, textures, and hues.
They had to do a bit of structural work, just to fit a sofa into the living room. They had four sofas delivered before they cut out an opening to accommodate their current one. They repainted all the rooms. "A fresh coat of paint changes everything," Torres says. The living room is celadon green. Cool and warm colors offer a surprising contrast.
The artwork is eclectic—abstract paintings, photographs, textiles, and furniture.
Lam says they're foodies. As evidence, they save menus. Among their downtown haunts are Madame Claude's, LITM, and the Cuban restaurant Azucar. A special favorite in their own neighborhood is Franchesco's, an Ecuadorian/Spanish restaurant on Tonnelle Avenue.
They look forward to coming back to Jersey City after work. "I love the buzz of New York," Lam says. "It's about getting on, making money, and being famous. But here it's quieter, homey. It's about a regular place with regular people finding their way in life."—Kate Rounds

Suspects facing grand larceny charges
2 charged with delivery truck theft
Suspects facing grand larceny charges
BARRE, Vt. —
Barre Police say two men are facing charges of breaking into a delivery truck and stealing cartons of cigarettes.
A security guard at Capital Candy reported seeing two men trying to break into a truck at 2 a.m. Monday morning.
When police arrived, they say they spotted two men behind the trucks with one holding a box. The man then dropped the box and two ran.
Barre police say they arrested one of the men. The other one later turned himself in.
Authorities say 22-year-old Ricky Dailey and 21-year-old Joshua Herring have been cited into court on charges of grand larceny.
Police say they found bolt cutters at the scene and Dailey had the cut lock. The box contained 30 cartons of cigarettes worth about $1,900.

When used for a double layout with the matching paper, Dino Fun, this paper looked great with photos from the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios! I kept the photos small and centered between the two pages, and it worked out really well!
Paper House had good quality paper and the designs are very realistic. I just wish they made double sided paper. Would save me loads of time gluing papers back to back.
This paper is so colorful and vibrant it went perfect with my pictures
Great paper for our visit to Dinosaurland, Ut.
This paper worked really well with some photos that we had took downtown Disney at the T. rex restaurant

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL --Another piece of space junk is drifting toward the international space station just as the space shuttle is headed that way. NASA will decide later Monday whether to fire the space station's engines to nudge it out of the path of an orbiting piece of a Russian satellite.
The satellite debris is projected to come within about half a mile of the space station early Tuesday.
Space station astronauts had to move into an emergency capsule last week for about 10 minutes because another piece of space junk came too close for comfort.
A NASA spokesman said if the space station has to move, the shuttle Discovery that took off Sunday will have to adjust its course slightly to be in position for docking on Tuesday.

(Original article can be found here, on page 12: http://apps.dmns.org/Catalyst/April-May2013/index.html#page/1)
A special thanks to many readers who sent comments and questions about the article I wrote on the Paleo Diet. It is really rewarding to get feedback from our members as this type of dialogue helps the Museum to fulfill its mission and vision which includes both creating a "community of critical thinkers" and "inspiring curiosity."
In writing the article I had to do a significant amount of research, and was lucky to have the advice of Dr. Melissa Wdowik, a registered dietician, as well as from Lance Holly who is an anthropologist. Here is a rundown of the sources I consulted and my thought process as I tried to get a handle on all the information out there. If you have recommendations to me about other sources I did not consider, please feel free to send me an email and let me know. I think the Paleo Diet is a fascinating lens through which we can look at human health and evolution and I hope to continue to learn more. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
For overall nutrition, I started here:
And looked at this information:
Whole grains: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/grains-why.html
Dairy: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/dairy-why.html
Legumes: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/vegetables-beans-peas.html
I learned that the "Choose My Plate" info is based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans: http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/dietaryguidelines.htm
Before diving into that 112 page document I looked at the Mayo Clinic as well to get an overview of the guidelines, "Boiling Down the Guidelines" is a good review: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dietary-guidelines/MY01594
After reviewing the guidelines I went looking for the resources that helped inform them. The Dietary Guidelines are based on based on a review process for relevant dietary-related research and can be found here: http://www.nutritionevidencelibrary.com/default.cfm?library=DGAC
(This is a site that shows the data that is considered when compiling the Dietary Guidelines for Americans every five years. Click on the index to search topics. Within a certain topic, you can click on the review question that interests you most… bone health vs. weight loss will have different levels of support for example, then click on the evidence link to see all the references related to that topic. Each person will have a unique investment in the various health outcomes for each of the food groups listed below.)
Whole Grains http://www.nutritionevidencelibrary.com/topic.cfm?cat=3195
Dairy http://www.nutritionevidencelibrary.com/topic.cfm?cat=3200
Legumes http://www.nutritionevidencelibrary.com/topic.cfm?cat=3136
Nuts http://www.nutritionevidencelibrary.com/conclusion.cfm?conclusion_statement_id=250285
Access to Articles: note that the abstracts of these articles can be found online through http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/, the full article may require a subscription, but one can request a copy of an article by visiting a public library, or can (usually) have immediate access to the article by visiting a university library which likely already has a subscription to the journal.
I also went back and read the FAQs on the Choose My Plate website, as there are many issues that aren't really addressed in the guidelines, like celiac disease and lactose intolerance that can directly change the way that the guidelines are applicable to an individual. Here are some answers I found to these questions on this document: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/faqs.html
A recommended resource from ChooseMyPlate.gov was www.healthfinder.com. While it was more of the same in terms of reiterating the guidelines, I did think it had one really great tip- tracking your changing eating habits. This application is worthwhile in order to see what really works for you in an objective way- tracking and comparing what you are doing and what is helping you reach your health goals (weight loss, increased muscle mass, lower blood pressure etc.) http://www.healthfinder.gov/HealthTopics/Category/nutrition-and-physical-activity/nutrition/eat-healthy
Take Action!
Making small changes to your eating habits can make a big difference for your health. Keep a food diary to track this. Knowing what you eat now will help you make changes. Starting today, write down:
If you have specific questions, it is a good idea to work with a dietician to make sure you can have concerns addressed and to make sure you are not excluding any nutrients inadvertently when you make changes to your diet. To find a registered dietician visit http://www.eatright.org/
I also like this approach called "Get the Facts" which basically reconfirms that personalized nutrition is complicated… http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6641 last updated January 2013.
"Making the right food and nutrition choices is a necessary part of daily life—but finding the best and most accurate information can be confusing. However, it is possible to develop a plan for healthy eating, and plans that emphasize a balance of foods, like those based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, can promote positive lifestyle changes. An understanding of what is in the food we eat is essential for allowing all foods to fit into an eating plan—as long as they are consumed in moderation and combined with regular physical activity. Research studies and breaking news about food and nutrition appear in headlines almost every day. With so many changes, it can be difficult to tell which recommendations are based on strong scientific evidence, and which are simply marketing materials. Registered dietitians are food and nutrition experts, translating the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. Various tools are available to help meet the goal of a healthy weight. Among these is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which can be used as a screening tool to identify potential health problems."
I read through the Questions & Answers document for the guidelines as well. And found this information useful http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/DietaryGuidelines/2010/PolicyDoc/QandA.pdf
What are the major themes of the 2010 DGAC Report?
The DGAC considers the obesity epidemic to be the greatest threat to public health in this century. Each section of the Report was developed in a way that addressed the challenges of obesity. Another major theme was a focus on children throughout the Report. The Report included four major action steps for the American public:
Public comments address other issues and potential gaps in the Dietary Guidelines
This document may be a useful resource for others that have similar questions and places they may contact for more information.
For example, these comments address celiac disease and gluten:
Comment Number: 001364 "I was amazed that there is only a brief reference to Celiac Disease in the Guideline. The safety of foods for those required medically to follow a gluten free diet is not mentioned
as far as I could see. This is particularly important to those of us who need to follow this diet, especially as it relates to food manufacturing and food labeling. With the large
number of citizens who need to be assured of the safety of foods labeled "gluten free", shouldn't this be addressed in this report, rather than emphasizing only allergies? The
danger to those of us with Celiac Disease is the impact foods with proscribed grain sources has on the overall body for longer periods of time."
Comment Number: 001371 "Gluten Sensitivity-- Have labels that ensure that things that have 'gluten free' are in fact 'gluten free' and also free from cross-contamination (e.g. cereals that say 'gluten free' that aren't produced in a dedicated assembly line. These products frequently make me sick, because of cross contamination. Perhaps a new ingredient 'contains gluten' being required for all foods that contain gluten of any kind (esp. modified food starch)."
Other resources on Celiac Disease
Did the public have an opportunity to give input on the DGA process?
A public comments database was accessible for providing written comments and submitting support material. A total of 765 written comments on the DGA process were posted between Oct 15, 2008, and April 29, 2010. A total of 1,159 comments on the DGAC Report were posted from June 15 to July 15, 2010. Oral testimony was heard at the 2nd DGAC meeting and at a public meeting on the DGAC Report in July 2010. A total of 51 organizations or individuals provided oral comments on the DGA process on January 29-30, 2009 (2nd DGAC meeting), and 50 organizations or individuals provided oral comments on the DGAC Report on July 8, 2010.
How was the DGAC deliberation process made transparent for the public?
The public was encouraged to submit comments and observe the first two DGAC meetings in person. They were encouraged to submit comments and view the remaining four meetings by webinar from 4 around the globe. A www.dietaryguidelines.gov website was developed to provide one-stop DGA information. Transcripts and meeting minutes for each DGAC meeting and archives of each webinar are available on the website. Outside speaker presentations and data charts were also posted to the website. In addition, all meeting announcements and details were posted online. All Committee decisions were discussed in the public forum.

Untimely death on Mount Monadnock investigated
JAFFREY - An untimely death on Mount Monadnock is being investigated by the state Medical Examiner's Office and Jaffrey police.
According to police, on Sunday at 4:45 p.m. a hiker descending the Red Spot Trail on Mount Monadnock collapsed and became unconscious due to an apparent medical condition. The hiker, identified as Bryce Griswold, 48, of Mendon, Mass., was near the intersection of the Old Ski path when he collapsed.
The victim's hiking companion, who is an emergency medical technician, started CPR immediately but the efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
Fish and Game Department conservation officers, Jaffrey fire and rescue personnel and Division of Parks and Recreation staff carried the victim down to the trailhead.

STOCKTON - Stockton Deputy Fire Chief Lance Calkins has been hired to lead a smaller fire department in the Bay Area.
STOCKTON - Stockton Deputy Fire Chief Lance Calkins has been hired to lead a smaller fire department in the Bay Area.
Calkins, 48, will begin his duties as fire chief of Albany, a city of less than 19,000 near Berkeley, on Aug. 2.
Born in Stockton and raised in Morada, Calkins is a Tokay High graduate and a 24-year veteran of the Stockton Fire Department who was hired in February 1989. Calkins could retire with full benefits in five years, but he doesn't see that happening.
"I love the fire service. Unless there's a health condition or something that I don't foresee, I can't imagine retiring from this," he said.
Calkins said he's excited to lead a city fire department, even as he will miss the team of men and women he has worked with and admired over the past 24 years. He said Albany officials welcomed him warmly and impressed him throughout the interview process.
"It was like I was part of the team before I even started working there," he said.
Calkins said Albany has a smaller depart-ment and fewer administrative aides than Stockton, and the amount of work will be smaller as well.

Filed under: war-machine | Tags: anti-left, books, new york city, occupy wallstreet, pranking, slogans, socialism, the left, vandalism, verso
The vandalist is recognizable as the most obnoxious brat conjurable in society's collective imagination. These Bart Simpsons struck once again this past weekend, pranking the Left and their enemies on multiple occasions in a joyous effort to devalorize everything it holds sacrosanct.
They started on Friday night by crashing a party held by the multinational corporation Verso, an enterprise which has made its fortune by cornering the market on socialist-oriented literature. While the paper they sell contains words arguing for revolt against the commodity form, they themselves ruthlessly defend it using lawyers, security guards, Zizekians, and other such police to prevent unauthorized consumption of their product. Such was the case when Verso lawyers sent a cease and desist notice to the beloved AAAARG.org, a website that hosts free PDFs of critical theory, putting Verso in the same category as the MPAA, RIAA, DOJ, and all other litigious enemies of free cultural exchange.
As young hip communists danced to 90s music in the bourgeois Verso loft, at least a dozen vandalists filled their bags with Verso's inventory, intending to trade, gift, and fill their collective libraries with the volumes. The Robin Hood-like act was not looked at kindly by the Verso bosses and their Pinkertons, however, who finally became aware of the vandalism to their warehouse towards the party's end. One bad citizen was grabbed, ordered to empty his bag, and threatened with arrest. Several corporate investors flocked to the scene, threatened violence against the bookworm, and declared themselves "true socialists" to defend themselves against the heckles of the proletarian attendees, generally sympathetic to the act of stealing from employers.
The sun went under, and so did the vandalists. Comrades need five hours of sleep to maintain their cognitive acuity. But no sooner had the great star poured its gold onto the streets once more, than the vandalists, refreshed by oneiric visions of the Metropolis sunken into bloody catastrophe, set out at a gallop toward the financial district of Manhattan. Finding the leisurely neo-hippie atmosphere of Zuccotti Park trite, the semio-hooligan band concocted a plan to tarnish the pacific scene. Embedded in the perimeter of this police colony like a benign tumor, the Left Forum at Pace University was to be the next target of our proletarian protagonists' ruthless undermining.
For those who want a program for the revolution, the Left Forum has drafted it, and covered it with institutional endorsements. If you look in the index, between 'reform' and 'revolution', you will find 'resignation'. Wedged like a weak nut between the two jaws of City Hall and Police Plaza, the Forum quaked in its vegan boots when this band of freaks appeared at its gates hollering "Autoreduce the Forum" in a sickening cadence and overpowered the University's rented sentries. These one-time police academy hopefuls were no match for the berserk resolve of the invaders, who burst through the gates wielding slogans like nunchucks. The moldy academics in their lumpy seats didn't know what to make of the lumpens, some of whom were already sizing up the vending machines for a siege in miniature.
More chants of "Communize Everything" and other such jargon seductive to trend-hopping Leftists allowed the group's numbers to surge to around 100, who soon marched to Zuccotti amidst Pied-Piper-like chants of "Praxis! Praxis!"
Once in the park, the intellectuals tarnished the atmosphere of activist smug with discourse on such topics as young Marx's hygienic rituals, the Death of God, and materialist analyses of punk lyrics. Indeed, both the over-lexed Left Forum and the over-praxed Zuccotti were now thoroughly intermingled, setting the stage for the night's chaos.
As police began to wipe the human graffiti from the park's pavement, numerous marches began to snake around downtown Manhattan, seeking icons to defile along it's path. The ensuing police could not handle the swift, self-barricading crowd at times, and a window of Uniqlo was destroyed after a vandalist caught site of their face's reflection in the glass over the blank visage of a mannequin. Perhaps seduced by the incoherent rage of the crowd, media recorded an affinity group of officers using the head of an Occupy medic to damage the window of an yuppie apartment building.
Like the fumes from a can of spraypaint, the betraying scent of the vandalist hangs for a few moments before it dissolves completely in the flowing air. The odorous memories of internal transgressions, pettiness, and provocations will soon be replaced by the reassuring scent of freshly baked historicity, allowing yet another Call of Action to be posted, and subsequently defaced.

Photo Essay: Mexican Caravan Goes 5,600 Miles for Peace
Click here to see the Caravan for Peace photo essay.
Photos by Erin Siegal
The first time I saw Javier Sicilia was earlier this month, the night before the Caravana por la Paz (Caravan for Peace) crossed the Mexican border into the United States for the first time. Sicilia arrived, slightly late, to a smoldering-hot press conference in one of Tijuana's oldest shelters, the Casa del Migrantes. He was relaxed, despite the fact he was hounded by reporters from the moment he stepped onto the cracked sidewalk outside the building. For a man carrying the weight of thousands of gruesome true stories about disappearances, rapes, and assassinations, he moved with an almost eerie sense of calm and purpose.
Since March 2011, when Sicilia's 24-year-old son Juan Francisco was murdered by gunmen, the noted Mexican poet has been single-minded in his mission: to raise awareness about the hundreds of thousands of victims in Mexico's complex "drug war." In the years following Mexican President Felipe Calderón's 2006 announcement of a battle against drugs cartels, approximately 116,000 people have been killed and "disappeared," though official government statistics claim a toll of less than half that.
The grassroots Movement for Peace and Justice with Dignity, also known the Caravan for Peace, was born. The traveling demonstration moved through various Mexican states. One march from Cuernavaca to Mexico's capital drew crowds in excess of 100,000 people. Participants faced death threats and assassination attempts, and some succeeded: at least two activists with the movement have been gunned down, and at least two have been abducted since it began. In 2011, the movement gained worldwide attention; TIME magazine even chose Sicilia as one of their "People of the Year."
Today, Sicilia and the Caravan are headed in a new direction. A northern Caravan route is now in the process of crisscrossing the United States in 5,600 miles, stopping in various U.S. cities. The goal of the Caravan (on Twitter, #CaravanaUSA) is to raise awareness about the United States' active role in the drug war as product consumers, foreign policy partners, and firearms suppliers.
Inside the small presentation room in Tijuana, on the eve of the Caravan's northern departure, plastic banners and homemade signs covered the walls. Almost all featured the faces of victims. Around the room's edges, journalists were crowded shoulder-to-shoulder, surrounding neat rows of attendees sitting in white plastic chairs.
A Peaceful End to the War on Drugs?
The international war on drugs isn't stopping drug use or trafficking—but it is ruining lives. Drug policy expert Sanho Tree on what we can do differently.
"Thank you for being here," Sicilia began. His blue button-down shirt was unbuttoned enough to reveal a tangle of amulet necklaces, and he made a point of making eye contact with nearly everyone in the room. "It's very hard to bear witness and experience these victims' stories. But it's necessary to hear them, to see them ..."
Family members took turns on the mic, recalling the kidnappings of loved ones who never returned and the cold impunity haunting those touched by violence in Mexico.

Ross vertical blenders are ideal for low-shear blending of powders, pellets, granules, fibers, and other solids. These blenders feature an auger that turns on its own axis and a mechanical arm that rotates the auger around the conical vessel. The mixing action in a vertical blender is far gentler than that of ribbon, paddle, or other horizontal blender, making it more suitable for delicate and abrasive applications. Spray nozzles may be installed for liquid addition and coating purposes. Vertical blenders are also commonly used in vacuum drying operations and can accommodate a wide range of feed forms including slurries, wet cakes, pastes, and flowable solids.

Or you could just not use automatic fire, like I suggested. It's Quikwars, it's supposed to be quick. The only measuring you should be doing is distances from one fig to another. It's the easiest way.
Teach everyone Quikwars first. If your friends want to play more than that, they can learn the rules themselves. It's stupid for you to have to teach them a billiondee rules.

Pats down Dolphins, 23-16, win AFC East titleBY SportsDirect
December 02. 2012 8:33PM
Wes Welker caught 12 passes, including a 7-yard touchdown toss from Tom Brady, and visiting New England won its sixth straight game to clinch the AFC East title for the fourth straight season.
The NFL's highest-scoring team never really got its high-octane offense in gear, but it also never trailed in the game. Stevan Ridley (19 carries, 71 yards) opened the scoring on a 2-yard run on the Patriots' first possession, and New England used a seven-minute, 16-play drive in the fourth quarter that was capped by Stephen Gostkowski's third field goal to put the game out of reach.
Brady was 24-of-40 for 238 yards, most of which went to Welker. The wideout finished with 103 yards receiving and tied Jerry Rice's NFL record of 17 games with double-digit catches. Brady surpassed Joe Montana for the most division titles (10) by a quarterback.
Welker dropped a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and the Patriots had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Gostkowski to take a 20-10 lead. Miami answered on its next drive with a 33-yard kick by Dan Carpenter with 8:50 to play, cutting the deficit to 20-13 before the Patriots' ensuing time-consuming drive sealed things.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill scored on a 2-yard run to get Miami within 17-10 before halftime. He finished 13-of-29 for 186 yards.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Brady now has the longest active streak of passing for at least one touchdown in a game. He has thrown a scoring pass in 44 consecutive games. Drew Brees' record streak of 54 games came to an end on Thursday. … Brady threw an interception in the first half, his first since Week 6. … Miami LT Jake Long suffered a torn triceps in the first half and is done for the season. …Reggie Bush carried 15 times for 64 yards for the Dolphins.

Hi, I'm new both to these forums and to Ancient Greek. I have a couple questions that I need some help with, and since so many people seem so proficient in Ancient Greek I would really appreciate it if you could help me. I'm using White's First Greek Book, but since my questions are pretty general I will post it in this forum.
How do you pronounce Upsilon? The book I'm using says like the French e, but I can't figure out how to say its sound.
What is the difference between Epsilon and Eta? Omicron and Omega? (how are they pronounced differently?)
Do diphthongs count as long or short?
How do you pronounce accents? Do you say them like French accents? How do they change the way a word is pronounced?
What are antepenults, penults, and ultimas?
Oh, and the book I'm using has a list of 30 words that it uses for excercises. Should I wait and memorize these words before going on or should I just go on and learn the actual vocabulary when it tells me it (if it does) or later?
Thanks, I'd really appreciate it if someone helps me out on these. I'll probably have more questions as I go on to Lesson 3, I'll post them in this thread. Thanks!

Peter wrote:Hi Karen,
....What in your opinion is the difference between a WILD or and OOB?, do they both end in a LD ?
Do they all lead to the same place? I do have some thoughts but they may be tempered by more experience and control and not be valid for defining differences
Hi Peter! and sorry for any delay, I didn't get notified I had a response here!
I'm afraid you may not like what I will say, in that I feel there is NO need to make a 'defining difference' between these. Yes, there are major differences in how these experiences play out, however, there is truly just an 'energy' difference and a variable 'connection' that we have and interpret individually.
By assigning a definition or name to a dream experience where we KNOW we have control, whether LD or WILD, we give credence to our beliefs that we have not 'succeeded' with an OBE and lose faith. I do not specifically try to delineate definitions between them, always wanting to show how close these experiences are to actually being out of body!! It truly is MY belief, that all these experiences are in some way a type of out of body event, and that it is our own interpretation that limits our abilities.
I will also post here an response I gave to another poster who asked if I felt my 'lack of recall' with these experiences did NOT actually mean I had an OBE....
I have had all types of OBEs, with all sorts of levels of awareness and lucidity. I believe it strongly depends on how 'high' or 'low' you are in your level of connection and vibration. (I really don't like to use 'high' and 'low' but it's the best analogy we have right now to use to describe the differences)
When first learning to use 'astral' senses there is a lot of 'blurring' and limitations, IMO, depending on your personal level of energy and spiritual development. It does improve over time, but there will always be those times when your energies are not 'focused' enough or other issues that can influence your experience.
There is so much we do not know about this process, and IMO, labeling only specific types of OBEs as 'true' OBEs will severely limit your ability to understand and experience more levels.
I will also say that I notice when I go into the 'higher level' OBEs that I am aware I am fully lucid and in control yet when I have to try to process what I did into this lower physical level of 'mere words' that my recall and ability to describe and remember is very limited. Many times I'm only left with a 'feeling' or 'sense' of what I did but with no specific memories to write about. But I KNOW I was OOB, and experiencing some sort of learning.
If you read through my blog, you'll find all levels of 'awareness', from awesome clear 'low level near-physical' ones to higher level less remembered ones....looking quickly, I found these where I was very aware and in total control:
I don't purport to be anyone special doing this, only someone who wants to share what I have learned to those who seek to know. I also strive to make sure everyone knows that they will have a very personal and individual way of learning to do this...no two will be exactly the same as we all do not have the same beliefs, fears, and values that greatly influence our thoughts and actions (and memories) while in the astral.
I do hope this helps answer your question!

House, Senate agree to meet to reconcile voter ID billsState House Bureau
June 12. 2013 8:53PM
CONCORD — The state Senate agreed Wednesday to negotiate with the House on new, but differing voter identification and voter registration requirements reflected in separate versions of bills that have been debated throughout the legislative session.
The Senate agreed to House requests for committees of conference on House Bill 595, which sets out forms of identification required when one steps into the polling place to cast a ballot. A conference committee was also agreed to negotiate House Bill 664, a bill establishing a nonprofit state vaccine association, to which the House's voter registration provisions were attached last week.
Voter ID
Differences on the voter ID bills center on whether student IDs are an acceptable form of identification at the polls.
The current voter ID law allowed for the 2012 election a list of seven forms of identification acceptable at a polling place, including a student ID, and absent any of those, verification of the person's identity by a local election official. If a voter was challenged, the voter would fill out a "challenged voter affidavit."
House Bill 595, as passed by the House, kept those seven forms of identification intact and permanently eliminated the requirement that those without IDs have their photos taken at polling places.
The Senate cut the acceptable forms of photo ID to four. It eliminated a student ID as a clearly acceptable form of ID, and left it up to the discretion of local election officials to determine if a student ID is "legitimate."
It kept in tact current provisions requiring photos to be taken of those without acceptable forms of IDs, but put off that requirement until 2015.
The Senate assigned Republican Sens. David Boutin and Jeanie Forrester and Democrat David Pierce to the conference committee. The House assigned Democratic Reps. Gary Richardson, Mary Ann Knowles, Robert Perry and David Cote. The conference committee is scheduled to meet Monday.
Voter registration
Current voter registration law says that to register, one must show that he or she is domiciled in New Hampshire. To do that, current law says, one must sign a form acknowledging that he is subject to the laws of the state, "including laws requiring a driver to register a motor vehicle and apply for a New Hampshire's driver's license within 60 days of becoming a resident."
A Superior Court judge ruled last fall the reference to motor vehicle laws caused confusion and ordered the state to remove the language from the voter registration forms before the 2012 election. The question for future elections is still pending before the judge.
The bill passed by the House removed any reference to motor vehicle laws. But the Senate inserted similar, but not identical, language as current law.
The Senate version says a person registering to vote must sign a form acknowledging that he is subject to the laws of the state, including laws that "may" require a driver to register a motor vehicle and apply for a driver's license within 60 days of becoming a resident.
House conferees for the voter issues are Democratic Reps. Edward Butler, Kermit Williams, Laurie Harding and David Cote. Senate conferees are Republican Sens. Jeb Bradley and Forrester and Democrat Pierce.
The conference committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday.

The Safest Way to Update Sony Drivers
There are a variety of common warnings as well as other messages which you might get in the driver upgrading process, a number of which I've paraphrased and listed right here along with information on what to do:
QUESTION: the pc now have to power-on a handful of time before it could possibly start-up, but it will just shutdown several moment afterwards.the pc is related straight to electricity point.but some time it may very last 1 hour just before shutdown once again.any guidance is going to be appreciated. thks.
ANSWER: Let us isolate the problem by undertaking a power cycle: Remove the battery and all peripherals -> push and maintain the power button for five seconds OR, in the event the battery isn't detachable, remove all peripherals -> glimpse for just a battery off button within the base on the laptop -> force the button for 5 seconds -> you may utilize a basic safety pin.
Way to Update Drivers with Device Manager
1. Open Control Panel
Depending on your version of Windows, Control Panel is usually available from the Start Menu or the Apps screen.
What you do next depends on what Windows operating system you're using:
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, tap or click on the Hardware and Sound link.
- In Windows 7, click System and Security.
- In Windows Vista, choose System and Maintenance.
- In Windows XP, click Performance and Maintenance.
Note: If you don't see these options, your Control Panel view may be set to Large icons, Small icons, or Classic View, depending on your version of Windows. If so, find and choose Device Manager from the big collection of icons you see and then skip to Step 3 below.
2. Open Device Manager
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, check under the Devices and Printers heading.
- In Windows 7, look under System.
- In Windows Vista, you'll find Device Manager towards the bottom of the window.
- Windows XP Only: You have a few extra steps since Device Manager isn't as easily available in your version of Windows.
From the open Control Panel window, click System, choose the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
3. With Device Manager now open, you can view a device's status, update the device drivers, or do whatever other hardware management you came here to do.

It has been said that the 2012 presidential election is one of epic proportions. While politicians and the copious amounts of advertisements they run during an election year are known for some exaggeration, there is only slight hyperbole in saying this presidential election will be one of the most important in some voters' lifetimes.
With the margin between the President and challenger Mitt Romney narrow in most polls, this election is shaping up to be one that political buffs will remember for generations. It also is shaping up to be one that will have a profound impact on portfolios of all sizes.
There are crucial factors to keep in mind. Stocks historically fall in anticipation of a Democrat taking the White House and rise when the market thinks a Republican is going to win. The post-inauguration day results tell a different story. Equities historically perform better when a Democrat is in the White House, presumably because the market realizes it was scared for no good reason. Conversely, the market typically winds up disappointed with Republican administrations and equities have a tendency to lag under these regimes.
Another issue to be aware of is that stocks typically perform well in election years and then give back some of those gains in the year following the election. U.S. equities have lived up to the election excitement as the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY) is up 9.6%. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DIA) is higher by 6.2% while the PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ: QQQ) has led the way with a remarkable surge of almost 16%.
With the United States attempting to fight enormous fiscal deficits and the looming problems of entitlement spending still far from solved, you could argue that it does not matter who wins this election because more of the same in Washington could mean U.S. stocks will immediately be vulnerable to a new Romney administration or the continuation of the Obama establishment.
That is not a doomsday prognosis, but the volatility that could ensue following the November elections means the following list of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) almost certainly will be in play. Simply put, these are the "must know" ETFs ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

Salahudeen said that the woman died along side three of her children, two sons and a daughter, adding that two male children of her neighbour that partook in the meal also died .
He put the ages of the dead five children at between 9 and 15 years.
Salaudeen said that the mother had in the evening of Sunday, October 30 brought the cassava flour (white Amala) from her farmland at Ohuepe village.
He said that the woman prepared a dinner from the cassava flour for the family and extended the food to her neighbour.
The officer said the victims later went to bed but developed severe stomach pain over the night which later resulted in the death of the woman and two of her children.
He said that neighbours who sensed that the sudden deaths might be due to the cassava flour dinner quickly rushed the remaining three children that partook in the eating to Okene General Hospital where they died on Tuesday.
Salaudeen stated that the authority of the local government believed that the cassava flour was poisoned and had informed the police for appropriate action.
A senior nursing officer at the Okene General Hospital, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the death of the three victims at the hospital on Tuesday .
The nurse said that the victims were brought in late Monday afternoon.

Please: Stop sharing this viral Facebook hoax
Another month and yet another hoax on Facebook is clogging up newsfeeds everywhere.
(NBC News) - Another month and yet another hoax on Facebook is clogging up newsfeeds everywhere.
This one isn't new, even though some of the words have changed.
The post, which claims Facebook is changing its privacy policy, reads:
Deadline tomorrow !!! Everything you've ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook's privacy policy. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste.
According to Snopes.com, this copyright-related hoax has been around since November 2012. It's not true, and Facebook has addressed the hoax on several occasions.
"This is false. Anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in our terms," Facebook stated. "They control how that content and information is shared. That is our policy, and it always has been."
This isn't the only Facebook post that's been spread before. Last year, there was a post that went viral claiming Facebook was going to start selling your pictures and information unless you shared the post.
Another one claimed you were going to have to pay $9.10 to keep your profile set to private. There was even a post that claimed Mark Zuckerberg would be giving away millions of dollars to Facebook users.
All of them, of course, were not true.

Phil Robertson's Family Refuses to Film 'Duck Dynasty' Without Him
The Robertson Family has just released a statement saying that they refuse to film their hit reality show Duck Dynasty without patriarch Phil Robertson, who was suspended by A&E over anti-gay comments he made to GQ.
"As a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty," the family said. Read the full statement inside the post.
A&E announced the suspension on Wednesday night and said "we are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty."
The suspension has elicited a debate all across the country about first amendment rights and whether Phil should have been suspended for voicing his own opinion.
DO YOU THINK Phil Robertson should have been suspended from Duck Dynasty?
Click inside to read the Robertson Family's full statement…
We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil's unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - A former aide to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was sentenced to two years in prison on Friday for embezzling tens of thousands of dollar from a fund for families of U.S. soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The aide, Kevin Kavanaugh, was also sentenced to two years of extended supervision and ordered to pay back the $51,200 he embezzled from Operation Freedom, a military appreciation event held each year at the Milwaukee County Zoo.
Kavanaugh, who was convicted by a jury in October, worked for Walker when the first-term Republican governor served as Milwaukee County executive.
Kavanaugh, 62, was the treasurer of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, a charity involved in Operation Freedom, from 2006 to 2009. Walker appointed him to serve on the Milwaukee County Veteran Service Commission during Walker's term as county executive.
Walker originally ran the Operation Freedom event through his county office. It was later turned over to the Purple Heart organization after Walker received legal advice the event should be handled by a charitable organization.
Tim Russell, another Walker aide, was implicated in the same investigation and pleaded guilty in November to diverting more than $21,000 to his personal bank account.
The investigation is part of a wider probe into Walker's county executive office.
Kelly Rindfleisch, who was Walker's deputy chief of staff, pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in public office in October and was sentenced to six months in jail after admitting to campaigning for Republicans while working in Walker's office for Milwaukee County.
Darlene Wink, a former executive assistant in the county executive's office, pleaded guilty to charges of political solicitation by public officials this year. She is expected to be sentenced in January.
Walker, who was county executive from 2002 to 2010, has not been charged in the investigation.

Skip to comments.Wyo. lawmakers consider silencers on hunting guns
Posted on 11/30/2012 4:50:25 PM PST by marktwain
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Wyoming lawmakers will decide in coming months whether to follow a growing national trend and allow the use of silencers on hunting guns.
(Excerpt) Read more at timesunion.com ...
In Europe, the opposite approach has been common. Suppressors, silencers, gun mufflers, whatever appelation you wish to use, have been far easier to obtain than in the United States. In Finland, it has been ruled a constitutional right to make, trade, sell, and use suppressors.
The vast majority of the media consider "hunting weapons" to be "assault rifles"
How on earth is that going to play out?
I wish I had silencers on my guns years ago, my ears wouldn't be ringing now. Every time I read about some one wanting to use a .45 for home defense, I wonder if they realize how LOUD firing it inside a home would be? Get the muzzle as far away from me as possible. I'll take a shotgun everytime.
I would love to be able to buy a silencer for my .22. Then my neighbor would not need to get upset when the Sylvilagus Floridanus doubles over in pain and then dies.
I now consider muzzle brakes and comps to be the works of Satan.
I do, I do! I figure that under the stresses of a no shucks life-or-death situation, my aim *might* no be as good as I'd like.
I figure if I miss, the flash and noise will discourage the attacker.
And I don't plan on missing...
Mine just roll over and die.
Head shots. Head shots. Head shots.
I want silencers on handguns. First, they help protect hearing; second, they make using the gun less painful for the owner.
In understand that a few states allow silencers. Is that true? Of course, I am in NJ, which actually treats slingshots as assault weapons.
Beats me, I'm in California. I want a Judge...
Supressors are legal in most states actually.Cost you a tax stamp,but it's worth it.We have a AWC for the MP5,really quiet.The brass hitting the ground make as much noise as the weapon.Also,I never knew how much noise the bullets make impacting the ground until we got the AWC.
If I had a .22 with a silencer there's be less pigeons in the world.
Dad fired a .357 in the bathroom once. Once. (long story) Think about it, small room, lots of tile to reflect sound... Ouch.
Don't deafen the elk....
I hope it was out an open window unless accosting some bad guy
Bugs bunny killer!
Somebody is going to have to explain to this actual hunter the need for silencers in hunting. On a given season deer hunting, one maybe two rounds come out of the box. What's the point?
Out the window at a ground hog. Dad always said next time he'd take his time and rest his elbows on the windowsill and extend the muzzle outside... :-) But after that he always said the "cop shows" were nuts, after the typical shoot-out indoors, everyone would be deaf, they wouldn't hold a normal conversation about where to chase down the bad guys next.
"You get caught poaching, and you don't own a gun anymore."
Surely you jest. Poaching in Wyoming? Nah.
One shot can permanently damage your hearing.
Oh, and then there's the matter of liberty.
