One day a little leprechaun named Lucky, was admiring the pot of gold he had been collecting for a long time. He had been keeping it safe in his home but began to worry that someone might find it and try to take it away.
Lucky took a walk to the woods where he looked around for the perfect hiding spot for his gold. He saw a tall oak tree and decided he would hide his gold in the earth under the tree.
After his pot of gold was buried, Lucky felt his gold was safe and now no one would find it.
Just as Lucky was heading back to his home a Woodsman spotted him. "I can't believe my luck," thought the Woodsman, "I have caught a leprechaun and now I will get his gold!" The Woodsman danced with happiness and shouted, "I have found you leprechaun and now you must give me your pot of gold." Lucky was very upset that he had been so careless and was caught by the Woodsman. But, Lucky was also very clever, as all leprechauns are, and knew how to trick his way out of giving the Woodsman his pot of gold.
"You are right, Woodsman. You did catch me and so now I must show you where I keep my pot of gold. Here. I have buried it in the earth right here." "Hooray", danced the Woodsman. Now I will have all of the gold I need." "But, wait, dear Woodsman," said Lucky. How will you dig out the buried gold? You do not have a shovel?" "You are right," said the Woodsman. "Here, I will mark the spot of the buried gold with a red bow. Then, when I return, I will know exactly where the gold is buried." The Woodsman laid the bow on the ground and set off to get his shovel.
"Ha, ha," chuckled Lucky as he quickly tied many more red bows and laid them on the ground. Lucky tied and tied until the whole forest floor was covered with red ribbons.
When the Woodsman returned with his shovel he couldn't believe his eyes. The whole forest was covered with red bows. "Now how do I know where to dig?" he shouted.
The Woodsman could not remember where the gold was anymore, there were too many bows. He stomped off back towards his house while Lucky the leprechaun laughed at the trick he had used to keep his gold safe.
After I preformed the puppet show, I left out all of the pieces for the children to reenact the story. They all loved the story and it has been used for two days, as well as an inspiration for various other puppet shows, too.

Hundreds of new British phone-hacking cases alleged
The new cases reportedly were discovered through tips provided by an inside informant.
A lawyer for victims of phone hacking by Britain's News of the World says a new conspiracy uncovered by British investigators has hundreds of potential victims from the now defunct tabloid that was part of media baron Rupert Murdoch's global news empire.
Hugh Tomlinson made the announcement Monday at Britain's High Court during legal arguments related to the lawsuits against Murdoch's News International, which published the tabloid at the center of the scandal.
The company has already paid millions of pounds in settlements and could face another round of lawsuits if the reports of new hacking cases are true.
Tomlinson did not elaborate, but The Guardian newspaper reports that the new allegations come from a phone-hacking suspect who turned informer.
The hacking cases, which have greatly damaged the reputation of the British tabloid press, initially involved phones of celebrities and members of the royal family. But they erupted into a major scandal after allegations surfaced in 2011 that the phone of a murdered 13-year-old school girl, Milly Dowler, had been hacked as well as phones from deceased British soldiers.
The Guardian, quoting unidentified sources, reports that the 600 potential cases surfaced after police received the phone records of an insider who will become a witness for the prosecution.
It says the potential new litigants fall in into three groups: new victims; other victims who have have already sued over past cases but are not barred from going to court again; and a third group who signed agreements potentially barring them from suing again.
Information from the same informant led to arrests last week of the editor of the Sunday Mirror, Tina Weaver, and four former colleagues arrested on suspicion of conspiring to hack phones, The Guardian reports.
So far, eight former staff members of the News of the World, which Murdoch closed after the phone-hacking scandal broke, face allegations of conspiring to hack phones. These include former editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson.
Brooks resigned in 2011 as a top executive with News International, which oversees the British arm of Murdoch's media company.
Coulson, also a former editor of the tabloid, resigned in 2011 as communications director for Prime Minister David Cameron in the wake of the hacking allegations.
Both have denied allegations of wrongdoing in the phone-hacking cases.
The revelations of new victims came only hours after British politicians announced they had struck a last-minute deal over press regulation, unveiling a new code meant to curb the worst abuses of the country's scandal-tarred media.
The code follows days of heated debate over how to implement the recommendations of Lord Justice Brian Leveson, tasked with cleaning up a newspaper industry plunged into crisis by revelations of widespread phone hacking.
Victims' groups have lobbied for an independent watchdog whose powers are enshrined in law but media groups have said that threatens press freedom.
The deal struck early Monday appears to be a complicated compromise.

I have the 2011 macbook air with 128gb ssd. Storage is low so i'm hoping to set up for the very first time, a NAS to host large files such as photo's (raw format), video's and music (lossless and aac format). I require your help in achieving the below functionality. A list of of hardware/software that I need to achieve the below will be very beneficial as will be those products that would provide very good performance. I would like most action to occur wirelessly.
- I have 1 macbook air, 1 ipad, 2 iphones, 1 cable modem, 1 airport express 802.11n
- Itunes library to be hosted on NAS with writing and reading files to occur wirelessly.
- When I plug in my iphone or ipad to sync, I would like it to sync and backup with the files on the NAS wirelessly.
- Iphoto library to be hosted on NAS. When I plug in my sd card, I would like files to be imported to the library wirelessly, which is on the NAS
- I understand iphoto library needs to be sitting on a disk that is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Does this mean I just partition one of the disks in the NAS and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Which products support the formatting of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? I am only familiar with fat32 and ntfs.
- For photos stored on the NAS, I would like to browse and view the photos on my ipad wirelessly.
I am willing to go without iphoto if it turns out that iphoto becomes the biggest challenge.
Thanks in advance, Rob

counters stobj
Major Section: STOBJ
the event
(defstobj counters (NodeCnt :type integer :initially 0) (TipCnt :type integer :initially 0) (IntTipsSeen :type t :initially nil))discussed in stobj-example-1, creates a Common Lisp object to represent the current value of
counters. That object is created
by evaluating either of the following ``raw'' (non-ACL2) Common Lisp
(create-counters)and the value is stored in the Common Lisp global variable named
(vector (make-array 1 :element-type 'integer :initial-element '0) (make-array 1 :element-type 'integer :initial-element '0) 'nil)
Thus, the
counters object is an array of length three. The first
two elements are arrays of size 1 and are used to hold the
NodeCnt and
TipCnt fields. The third element is the
IntTipsSeen field. The first two fields are represented by
arrays so that we can implement the
integer type specification
efficiently. Generally, integers are ``boxed'' in some Common Lisp
implementations, for example, GCL. Creating a new integer requires
creating a new box to put it in. But in some lisps, including GCL,
the integers inside arrays of integers are not boxed.
The function
NodeCnt is defined in raw Lisp as:
(defun NodeCnt (counters) (the integer (aref (the (simple-array integer (1)) (svref counters 0)) 0)))Observe that the form
(svref counters 0) is evaluated to get
an array of size 1, which is followed by a call of
aref to
access the 0th element of that array.
The function
update-NodeCnt is defined in raw Lisp as:
(defun update-NodeCnt (v counters) (declare (type integer v)) (progn (setf (aref (the (simple-array integer (1)) (svref counters 0)) 0) (the integer v)) counters))Note that when this function is called, it does not create a new vector of length three, but ``smashes'' the existing one.
One way to see all the raw Lisp functions defined by a given
defstobj is
to evaluate the
defstobj event and then evaluate, in the ACL2 loop, the
(nth 4 (global-val 'cltl-command (w state))). Those functions
that contain
(DECLARE (STOBJ-INLINE-FN T)) will generate
forms because the
:inline keyword of
defstobj was supplied the
t. The rest will generate
We now recommend that you look at stobj-example-1-proofs.

Michael Kay's uncle is Danny Aiello.
apologies if already posted...Approx 5:30 eastern..
Michael Kay's uncle is Danny Aiello.
Tanny sounds like Sanchez is on a VERY short leash.
did he really imply that @ Sanchez?....any specifics?.....
Not that they have done it but G&P is a short leash.
He just mentioned Jason Hill as attacking a problem and coming up with a solution.
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr
Tannenbaum said there is no pressure from Woody to start Tim Tebow. Called the debates "robust" but said PT comes down to Rex. #jets #nyj
When asked if Sanchez was great: "Depends on how you define greatness, I define the success of a QB by wins and losses,"- Mike T. #Jets #nyj
"We'll see how the next 12 games play out," Tannenbaum said of Tebow's limited role to this point. #Jets #nyj
Tannenbaum said that there was no thought to Chad Johnson, Plaxico and TO. Wanted a WR in a preseason camp. #Jets
"Shonn has played well in the past," Tannenbaum said when asked if Greene was on Ray Rice's level.
This is pretty standard PC Cliche driven on Tannenbaum's part...
I just have to say I love Don La Greca, truly an informed, well spoken, classy interviewer. All the more impressive when you consider the blowhards he's paired who headline the show
He's excited about the progress of our Right Tackle.
Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN
Tannenbaum says there isn't any pressure from Woody Johnson 2 play Tebow: "Play time is always driven by Rex. Rex is in charge of who plays"
Tannenbaum is a big fan of Gov. Christie.
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr
Tannenbaum said organization was wary of signing Barry but that he checked out completely "We're going to move forward together."
Kay just asked Tanny if he thinks Tanny sounds a lot like NJ Gov Chris Christie. I don't get it? Lots of non-answers to the question at hand?
Code for we suck right now you are gonna have to wait it out it takes time for the youth to develop.
Excited to see the progress of Coples and Wilkerson.
Interview was basically a waste of time. They didn't fire off any real hard pressed questions. No balls.
oh boy..........no we're really in trouble.Tannenbaum is a big fan of Gov. Christie.

"Citrus fruits are some of the very few redeeming aspects of winter," I declared with no uncertainty in my voice, immediately following yet another grating comment about all of the snow. Just as the novelty of trudging through dense, wet, frozen slush wears out quickly, so does one's patience for hearing about it. So, instead of boring you with yet another long rant about how nasty this season has been behaving, let's skip right to the good stuff, shall we?
Blood oranges, those elusive orange globes that masquerade as a standard Navel or Valencia, only reveal their true colors when sliced open. Crimson red, their juicy dips do look every bit as macabre as their name, but their flavor is so much more enticing. A bit sharper and more intense than their paler brethren, these babies are worth waiting all year for. Their season is pitifully short though, so enjoy them while you can- As soon as that snow starts to thaw, they'll vanish from store shelves and farmers markets so fast, it will be like there never were blood oranges at all.
Though this sweet and tangy winter smoothie is a disarming shade of creamy pink, it actually tastes like a brilliant orange creamsicle. Thanks to the unusual hue, you could even get away with sneaking in a good splash of beet juice too, should you want to squeeze in a serving or two of veggies.
Midwinter Morning's Dreamsicle (Blood Orange Smoothie)
- 2 Blood Oranges
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 1 Cup Orange Juice
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 - 2 Tablespoons Light Agave Nectar (Optional, if you like it sweeter)
- Slice or peel away the skin from the oranges and remove any pips you should find. Toss the whole oranges, membrane and all into your blender, along with all of the remaining ingredients.
- Blend on high for a minute or two until pureed and completely smooth. Enjoy with a straw for ultimate satisfaction (because smoothies really taste better slurped through a straw, of course.)
Standard navel oranges can be substituted, but the color won't be as rosy.

DNA Molecule Plush
Cute and huggable nucleobases!
- You get one plush for each nucleobase in DNA (so a set of 4).
- Plus, they form base pairs with the power of hydrogen bonds.
- In this case, "hydrogen bonds" mean magnets.
Ok, so we like these DNA Molecule Plush so much, we had to write a DNA limerick. Each set of DNA Molecule Plush gives you four little plushies: one of each nucleobase. Adenine is green and happy, thymine is red and happy, guanine is black and happy, and cytosine is blue and happy (a bit of an oxymoron, if you think about it). A simplified version of the atom is represented on the front of each plush, and a big initial of the specific nucleobase is on the back. And here's the bestestest part: nucleotides form base pairs with hydrogen bonds. Well, DNA Molecule Plush form pairs with magnets! Guanine and cytosine stick together, as do adenine and thymine. DNA Molecule Plush - it's like cute loveable science in the palms of your hands!
DNA Molecule Plush
- Ages 4 years and up.
- Show your love for cute things and DNA with this full set of plush nucleobases.
- You get one of each: adenine (green), thymine (red), guanine (black), and cytosine (blue).
- Adenine/thymine and guanine/cytosine form base pairs with internal magnets!
- And they all have smiley faces - just like the real nucleobases!
- Dimensions:
- Adenine - approx. 4.5" x 5.5" x 1"
- Thymine - approx. 5" x 5" x 1"
- Guanine - approx. 6" x 5.5" x 1"
- Cytosine - approx. 3.75" x 5.5" x 1"

With Australia Day fast approaching, our thoughts here are turning to the invitation from Twigs of Yore to post details of the earliest piece of documentation we have about an ancestor in Australia.
We've put our thinking caps on (as my nan says) and remembered that the earliest document my family has is on our ancestor William Aldridge. He arrived in New South Wales in 1791 as a convict sentenced to transportation for seven years. My cousin, Neil Hall, discovered William's original trial document at the London Metropolitan Archives. It was sitting in a musty box in the archives' office in central London, and our guess is it hadn't been looked at for decades, maybe even a century or two. The document was dated 12 September 1788, and stated that William was tried and convicted of stealing a linen sheet "with force and arms". He spent two years on the hulk Justitia at Woolwich before being transported.
Finding the original document was a breakthrough in our family research, as details of William's crime had eluded us for years!

The Relic
Dedalus, 1994 - Fiction - 281 pages
Teodorico Raposo, the novel's lascivious anti-hero is a master of deceit; one minute feigning devotion in front of his rich, pious aunt, in order to inherit her money, the next indulging in debauchery. Spurred on by the desire to please his aunt, and in order to get away from his unfaithful mistress, he embarks on a journey to the Holy Land in search of a holy relic. The resulting fiasco is a masterpiece of comic irony as religious bigotry and personal greed are mercilessly ridiculed.

Hey Quarkboy, I herd u might be translating Maiichingu Machiko Sensei Episode 3 this autumn. Was I misinformed?
Many like to judge shows after watching them, not before based on others' analysis. Many can find good things in everything.
While I agree the newer series tend to be more interesting, better animation, story, etc. in many cases, they're in less danger of being forgotten.
Plus, sometimes people are in moods where they can tolerate this stuff. I may have put Perrine Monogatari and Little Princess Sara on hold for a while while I watch some demonic ghost anime, but that doesn't mean they're useless. Sometimes a slow-paced boring anime is just what you need when you want to sip some tea or share it with a friend.
New anime with all their panchira shots can be a little intimidating if you're trying to introduce the genre to someone unfamiliar with it.

I remember watching here at Portugal the dubbed version that circled around Europe in the 80's/90's thanks to Italy - the "censored" version.
Back in 1990 or 1991, I remember the Portuguese dub being good, while the series itself was "70's anime average quality" but still watchable, I kind of liked it back then.
However, only recently I discovered the original opening of this series (I only had acess to the STUPID oh so STUPID song the Italians made...), and I found it to be incredibly catchy, it reminded me the Cutey Honey's opening.
Concerning the discussion of whether such old anime should be worthy of fansubbing... my opinion is that it should be fansubbed should someone want to do it. To me, old anime (and I mean OLD, like 70's or 80's) should be treated like old archaeological discoveries that need to be restored and preserved for the remainder of time in the current universal language, the English language. Of course, being the vast majority of the current fansubbers "youngsters" (compared to me, anyway, lol), it's expected to realize that those shows aren't their next target (they naturally probably never even heard of them before).
Sure, the 70's quality "pre-Gundam" may not be that great (Lupin III '71 or Attacker No. 1 being the exception to me, for example), but to "ostracize" them just because they're old doesn't seem to be enough reason for me.
The fansubbers have the last saying, though, and I or anyone else can't demand or even expect them to fansub whatever series we wish. Of course, hope springs eternal...

You should know that the 1970's were a huge break through in mahou shoujo A.k.a. "magical girl'' anime. Seeing as how the first magical girl anime came out in the late 60's and was inspired by the tv show Bewitched. the 70's were literally the growing period for Mahou Shoujo Anime and Shoujo anime all around.
Majokko Megu-chan was an anime series that Highly influenced not just the future of magic girl/shoujo anime but anime all together, i'm not saying fanservice is the best thing ever but Megu-chan did pioneer it. and lots of other great Anime came from the 70's i.e. Cutie Honey and Candy Candy. and a great deal many of these anime are highly cherished in Japan.
So next time please try to have your facts in order before you bash on the humble beginnings of anime and the people who truly enjoy anime. I'm not saying your opinion isn't worth while, I'm just saying don't act like you all dat and a bag of chips when you could be insulting the creators of the very anime you personally enjoy. <3

Good job getting trolled by a post that's well over a year old, I guess? I mean, I'm impressed people even try to defend the whole "fanservice magical girl" thing as if it was something with literary merit and not just one in a very long series of Japanese pop culture gimmicks, one dumber than the other, but finding and bumping this ancient thread just to tell me that your particular favorite gimmick most definitely isn't boring at all isn't impressive, it's just embarrassing for everyone involved.
Also, you seem to think I enjoy anime. I'm deeply offended by this.

Either way, you should probably check what you're wishing for before doing so, because it seems this show isn't what you think it is.
And what's wrong with spending a minute a day checking a site for potential laughs from nerds who take cheap entertainment way too seriously?

I apologize if this is considered "necro-bumping", but I didn't see any recent topics on this subject. Forgive me if I have broken any rules here...
Regarding Majokko Megu-Chan, I managed to watch a few episodes of it from its Spanish dub, titled, 'Maggie la Brujita" or "Maggie the Little Witch". From what I had seen, I can say that I do like what in the episodes. Currently, I only found 8 episodes in Spanish, and I don't know if all them are available in Spanish dub. I do like the show. It definitely reminds me of the classic American sit-com, "Bewitched", and I had taken an interest in trying to fansub a few of the episodes. However, I can only translate from Spanish, so I can only hope that someone can help me out with translation and/or translation checking for this classic anime.

Although it is still a relatively new technology, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) components are making a splash in many different applications within the RF/microwave field, including for oscillation and timing. As demonstrated by the SiT1552 temperature-compensated oscillator (TCXO) from SiTime Corp., MEMS technology can achieve superb timekeeping performance with very little power. This MEMS TCXO runs at an output frequency of 32.768 kHz with less than 1 μA current consumption (typically 0.99 μA) for supply voltages of +1.50 to +3.63 VDC.
The TCXO is an excellent low-power fit for a variety of timekeeping applications, from sleep clocks in wireless communications equipment to reference clocks in medical electronic equipment. The low current and low power consumption translate into extended operating periods for any electronic device needing the timekeeping function while operating on battery power.
Each SiT1552 MEMS TCXO consists of a MEMS resonator and programmable analog circuitry packed within one of a number of different packages offered by the company, including an ultra small chip-scale package (CSP; see figure). Output signals exhibit worst-case 10%-to-90% rise/fall time of 200 ns, with typical rise/fall time of 100 ns. The MEMS oscillators are impressively stable with time, temperature, and voltage, with initial stability tolerance of ±5 ppm and frequency stability maintained within ±1.5 ppm across the full supply voltage range. The TCXO is available in different stability versions, with frequency stability ratings of ±5, ±10, and ±20 ppm for the one 32.768-kHz output frequency.
The MEMS oscillator requires only 200 ms typical startup time at power up and suffers worst-case long-term jitter of only 2.5 μs. Versions are available for a commercial operating temperature range of 0 to +70°C and an industrial operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C. The MEMS TCXO is available in a CSP housing measuring only 1.5 × 0.8 mm. For other package options, such as an SOT-23-5 package or a surface-mount package measuring just 2.0 × 1.2 mm, contact SiTime.
The miniature MEMS TCXOs are lead-free components that are both RoHS and REACH compliant. They offer two output voltage options: a standard LVCMOS output swing and the firm's patented NanoDrive reduced output swing. Tthe output swing for the latter is customer specific and factory programmed for an output between 200 and 800 mV for reduced power consumption. The silicon MEMS technology in these oscillators provides an output clock duty cycle ranging from a minimum of 48% to a maximum of 52%. In addition to the low-power operation, they are designed and constructed for outstanding shock resistance and reliability compared to quartz crystal oscillators, with expected mean time before failure (MTBF) of more than 500 million hours.

Entertainment Industry Flips Out At The Good Parts Of Canada's New Copyright Law, Demands Changes Via TPP
from the but-of-course deptIn discussing Canada's C-11 copyright reform, we noted that while we were troubled by the "digital locks" provision that mirrors the DMCA's ridiculous anti-circumvention rules, there was actually plenty of good things in the law, that other countries should take note of. Not surprisingly, the entertainment industry feels differently. With Canada joining the TPP negotiations, entertainment industry lobbyists are seeing it as an opportunity to roll back all of the good parts of Canada's copyright law. Michael Geist has the story on how the IIPA -- an organization made up of a bunch of other copyright maximalist organizations, like the RIAA and MPAA -- have put in a filing that argues TPP should wipe out many of the reasonable parts of Canada's new copyright law:
The IIPA, which recently submitted its position on Canada's entry to the TPP as part of a U.S. regulatory process, takes particular issue with the role of Internet providers in enforcing Canadian copyright law. The Canadian "notice-and-notice" approach, which requires providers to forward thousands of infringement allegation notices to their subscribers, strikes a balance between effective enforcement and free speech, while preserving users' privacy.This isn't surprising, of course. These groups have always used international trade agreements to force through IP laws that they can't get otherwise. In fact, what's slightly ironic is that the whole reason that Canada was pressured to put in place C-11 in the first place, was because all of these same trade groups kept insisting that Canada was not living up to its "international obligations" with regards to earlier copyright-related agreements. So now that Canada has updated its law with some good ideas and some bad... the industry goes running right back to international agreement negotiations to try to delete the good parts, which it doesn't like.
The model has begun to attract global attention with countries such as Chile adopting it within its own domestic law. The IIPA sharply criticizes the approach, however, calling for dramatic reforms. It argues that Canadian law "fails to provide meaningful incentives for network service providers to co-operate with copyright owners to deal with copyright infringements that take place in the digital network environment."
Instead, the copyright lobby wants Canada to implement measures that would require Internet providers "to take action to prevent recidivists from repeatedly using their services to commit copyright infringement." The plain language demand: a termination system that would cut off Internet access for subscribers accused of infringement.
The IIPA also wants Canada to undo statutory damages changes from Bill C-11 that created a liability cap of $5,000 for non-commercial infringement. It claims that the non-commercial cap renders statutory damages "ineffective in achieving its goals of full compensation and deterrence in the online environment."
Even with the change, Canada remains one of the only developed countries with statutory damages that create the prospect of multi-million dollar damage awards for commercial infringement. The government created the non-commercial cap because it was uncomfortable with rules that could spur thousands of lawsuits against individuals.
And, really, this is a big part of the problem with all the secrecy around the TPP. While the process in Canada to approve C-11 certainly had its issues, at least the bill itself was public and was open to significant discussion for quite some time. And if you look back to previous attempts to reform copyright law in Canada, the proposals had gone through significant public scrutiny. None of that will happen with the TPP, which is still being negotiated in secret, and will only be revealed as a done deal: take it or leave it. And none of it will involve real input from the public, who can give talks around the edges of the negotiation, but are never invited to comment on the actual proposals at all. Of course, the entertainment industry, being on various "advisory committees," do have full access to TPP negotiating docs.

Find out why today is the way it is. As a history major at Saint Michael's College, you'll be offered a diverse array of courses on the introductory and seminar levels that focus on a variety of geographical regions and time periods. These areas include the United States, Europe (modern and pre-modern), Latin America, East Asia, and the Middle East.
As a department, we emphasize individual attention and availability of faculty to students. Survey courses that cover more general topics like United States History since 1865 are limited to 30, and seminars that focus on a specific theme like The Crusades or the Black Death are capped at 15. Students meet several times a year with their individual advisors. For the capstone seminar (in which students write their senior theses), each student meets regularly with her or his thesis advisor.
The capstone course of the history major, History 410, emphasizes and highlights the development of significant research skills and writing, and it focuses on regular communication between the faculty thesis advisor and the student. Our Saint Michael's College history majors have recently written theses exploring topics and events such as the evolution of Italian gangs in America, feminists in the Temperance Movement, and Jordan's religious conflicts.
You'll also have the opportunity to conduct grant-funded summer research here on our campus. During the summer months, our students apply to work one-on-one with a faculty member to prepare a paper that could be published in an academic journal.
The faculty members of the Department of History are all active professional scholars in their fields of research, and they bring their expertise and their enthusiasm for their research into their classrooms and seminars. Among the fields in which faculty members have published are the following: 19th century New England and New York, China and its politics in the 20th century, medieval Italy and medieval religion, 20th century US politics and culture, race and society in the Caribbean, and Britain before and during World War II.
In all of our courses, we emphasize critical thinking, research skills, oral presentations, and good writing. These are the necessary skills that are all applicable to a wide variety of professions and occupations in the economy today.
After graduation history majors have gone on successfully to pursue a variety of professions. Those occupations include but are not limited to the following fields: law, high school and elementary school teaching, law enforcement, museum administration and/or curatorship, library science, college or university-level teaching and research, information technology, and business. Our program prepares its students for a range of career and graduate school paths. History is among the majors that are recommended for those students who wish to attend law school and pursue a career in law. Saint Michael's College has outlined a pre-law resource guide that will enable aspiring law students to succeed in reaching their goal.
Our department is also closely associated with two interdisciplinary majors (American Studies and Gender Studies), two academic programs (the Humanities Program and First-Year Seminar), and three minors: History, East Asian Studies, and Medieval Studies. Many of our students choose to double-major or minor with one of these other disciplines to further enhance their academic experience. If you are thinking of becoming a teacher, History will prepare you well to work in the classroom.
Our department encourages majors to take advantage of Internship and Study Abroad opportunities. Students have interned at a variety of places, including a local land trust, the Office of the Governor of Vermont, a local historical society, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Vermont Commission on Women, and the Shelburne Museum. Many of our students study abroad all over the world, including Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia.
Our department has a chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the international Honors Society in History. Saint Michael's College founded its chapter, Alpha Epsilon Nu, in 1991, and membership is open to all students, regardless of major. Special programs and activities are planned throughout the academic year. Phi Alpha Theta's motto is "seek truth." Every year the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Saint Michael's College (Gamma of Vermont) also inducts several history majors and minors into its ranks.
Our department sponsors the prestigious and annual Norbert A. Kuntz Memorial Lecture in History. The department established the lecture series to honor Dr. Norbert Kuntz, a long-time Saint Michael's professor and chair of the History Department. This series brings a historian of international stature to Saint Michael's College to address the community. Members of the department also work with other programs and honor societies to bring noted scholars to campus to interact closely with our students. For example, our department cooperated recently with the college Phi Beta Kappa chapter to bring a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar to campus.

Barcelona says Lionel Messi to be sidelined for 2-3 weeks with hamstring injury
BARCELONA, Spain – Barcelona says Lionel Messi will be sidelined for up to three weeks after re-aggravating his right hamstring strain, an injury that has hampered his ability to play over the past six weeks.
The club says tests performed Tuesday revealed the muscle strain.
Messi first injured his hamstring on April 2 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain, and re-aggravated the injury in Sunday's 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid.
Messi was making his first league start since the injury but left the field in the 68th minute after Barcelona had made all three substitutions and was trailing 1-0. The team rallied without him.

Out of Custody Intake
This refers to minors who receive referrals from law enforcement agencies regarding delinquent behavior, but who are 'cite released' or arrested and subsequently released to their parent or responsible adult. The law enforcement agency sends a copy of the citation to the Probation Department where a Probation Officer will be assigned the case and make a decision if it is a mandatory referral that must go to the District Attorney, should it be transferred to another jurisdiction, should the minor be placed on informal probation or should the matter be closed.
In Custody Intake
Our Intake Unit books over 1,000 minors into our Juvenile Hall during the year for more serious offenses such as those defined by Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The minor is admonished and interviewed and an assessment is made to determine if the minor can be released to the parent or guardian, or if he/she can be supervised on Home Supervision or if he/she is to be detained.
The cases may be handled informally or referred to the District Attorney's Office for a petition to be filed and brought before the Juvenile Court.

Cool story bro
Why does Idzik using Rex's catchphrase not bother anyone ?...this is a new GM with hopefully his own ideas and thoughts on how to BUILD and run a team...on his first day uses the catchphrase of the lame duck head coach....just seems to me that a strong exec who is his own person would not even dream of using that phrase...for example, let's just say the Jets were able to land Polian...you think in a million years in his introductory press conference he would have uttered the words "Play Like a Jet "...no chance ....this to me has red flags written all over it.....
Cool story bro
... i'm too worried that idzik is shaking it 3 times after taking a leak ... after he saw rex do it ...
This is worse than Favre wearing those yellow shoulder pads.
It's a good phrase even Rex hater's must admit it. What would you prefer "play like a seahawk'
Last edited by Bocajetfan68; 02-02-2013 at 02:46 PM.
Florham Park has that slogan all over the place
Dump like a jet
Sooooo your saying everytime John Idzik says "Play like a Jet", God kills a kitten?
Thread of the year candidate.
Play like a Seahawk would have sounded much better.
I think "play like a Jet" was a Jet decision.
I think Sanchez is more of a reason to worry about the 2013 season than Idzik quoting Rex.
But that's just me.
I don't think I'm overstating it when I say that this thread has the potential to save the franchise.

A Slice of Heaven: Chain Pizza
Reviews of pizza at chain restaurants.
I wrote earlier today on Serious Eats about chain restaurants, and that prompted Serious Eater leilacohan to mention Bertucci's, a small pizzeria chain I sampled for my book Pizza: A Slice of Heaven. I figured I'd excerpt information from the book's chapter on chain pizza, starting with Bertucci's, for publication on Slice.
Is chain pizza as bad as serious food people say it is? I was determined to find outand determined to give chain pizza a fair shake. So, as part of my research for Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, I resolved to eat only chain pizza for dinner for a period of one week. I would limit myself to one chain pizza a day (though I was sorely tempted to get all the chain pizza eating out of the way in an afternoon). My wife, son, and friends were horrified by this regimen and reminded me of the fate of Morgan Spurlock, who famously ate nothing but McDonald's for a month. But if I wasn't willing to die for my art, at the very least I was willing to get a little sick for it. What did I find? Chain pizza is, for the most part, awful stuff. No news here. How is it awful? Why is it awful? What does it mean for pizza-eating people everywhere that it's awful? These are the essential questions that must be answered in any thorough examination of pizza.
First things first. As a discerning eater, I found all elements of chain pizza wanting. The crust is characterless, tasteless, and lacks even the merest trace of salt and yeast. Chain pizza sauce invariably tastes of tomato paste and sugar. Chain pizza cheese is inferior-quality mozzarella that resembles a yellow blob of melted goop. Toppings are made of inferior ingredients, typically watery canned mushrooms or porklike sausage pellets overwhelmed by the awful dried herbs and spices that go into them.
Why is chain pizza so awful? Many, many reasons. The pizza chains were all started by business people, as opposed to individuals interested in food. Go to the website of Little Caesar's or Pizza Hut or Papa John's. You'll find heartwarming stories of young people who overcame their modest circumstances to achieve great wealth and build big, successful businesses. You won't find the stories of passionate pizza makers determined to bring their fabulous pizza to every corner of the world.
All "quick service restaurant" businesses are built on the same fundamental tenets:
- Standardize your product. Make sure the pizza tastes the same in Omaha as it does in Anchorage. For pizza, this means that the dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings are made in central locations for maximum shelf life and then distributed to the franchisees. Even if a Pizza Hut franchisee decided to use fresh mozzarella on even one pizza, company rules would prohibit it. Freshness is an obvious casualty of this approach.
- Control costs and minimize waste. Chain pizzas make pizza a commodity. That means the major chains compete on price, because the market for commodities is by definition price driven. That's why I can buy a large sausage pizza at Little Caesar's for $7.99. Low prices mean low food costs, and low food costs mean low-quality ingredients.
- Minimize labor costs. Pizza-making is labor intensive, so pizza chains find the lowest-cost labor they can. These poorly paid workers are given scant training, and what training they are given is not geared to the overall quality of the pizza they're making. After all, the managers themselves have never been shown how to make great pizza.
The result is that most pizza chains are staffed with poorly trained and paid pizza-makers supervised by people more concerned with the bottom line than the bottom crust. This is not the stuff of great pizza.
What's particularly disturbing about all this is that pizza is made with relatively inexpensive ingredients: water, flour, canned tomatoes, yeast, salt, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil. Even the costliest ingredients on that list are not absurdly expensive. Good fresh mozzarella is three dollars a pound, good Italian packaged tomatoes are a couple of bucks a can, and you can find good-quality extra-virgin olive oil for eight dollars a liter. So it should be possible to make a better-tasting pizza using good ingredients without spending an exorbitant amount. A pizza at Pizzeria Bianco is less than 15 dollars. But the crucial ingredients Chris Bianco adds to his pizza are sadly lacking at the chains: skill, passion, and pride.
Those come from the top, and until someone starts a pizza chain with those ingredients, we are all going to have to go elsewhere for great pizza.
Over the next six days on Slice, I'll be posting the relevant exerpts from Slice of Heaven that give my thoughts on the six chain places I ate from for the book--Bertucci's, California Pizza Kitchen, Domino's, Little Caesar's, Papa John's, and Pizza Hut.
My post on Bertucci's will appear on the site shortly, but let me just say this now: Bertucci's is a chain with close to a hundred locations. It uses good ovens and fresh mozzarella in its pizza and, as I discovered, the results are promising. A large Margherita at Bertucci's costs $17.99. That's a lot more than at the other chains, but Bertucci's pizza is exponentially superior. So if chains are your only option, and you can afford it, head there.

LEICESTER — The only reported case of rabies in Leicester this year was on Ferson Road, but one resident said she dealt with two rabid skunks there this summer.
Linda Moore said Monday that one of her sons, Brian Moore, shot and killed a skunk that was chasing his dog at his neighboring Ferson Road home on Aug. 28. She said the skunk was tested by the Vermont Department of Health and confirmed rabid.
But two days before that incident, she said she's sure she had a rabid skunk on her own property nearby as well.
BURLINGTON — Vermont is once again taking part in a nationally coordinated effort to halt the spread of rabies. The annual Rabies Bait Drop began this past Monday, Aug 7.
The weeklong bait drop is part of a cooperative effort between Vermont and the USDA Wildlife Services to stop the spread of the potentially fatal disease.

BRISTOL — Town officials in Bristol are urging residents to be on the lookout for possible rabid animals. In October, there have been two reported incidents of wild animals with rabies, Town Administrator Bill Bryant said in a statement.
In the first incident, on Oct. 3, a rabid raccoon bit a man through the boot near Hardscrabble Road. The second incident, on Oct. 21, involved a "dying but apparently rabid fox on Mountain Street," Bryant said.
MIDDLEBURY — A baby raccoon found in Middlebury acting strangely Monday tested positive for rabies.
Dr. Tracy Winters said a pet owner found the clearly sick animal near Route 7 and brought it to Middlebury Animal Hospital, where it was humanely euthanized and sent to state labs for testing. On Wednesday, tests showed that the animal did suffer from rabies.

Volkswagen has revealed an updated version of its Cross Coupe concept, the compact SUV that previews the second-generation Tiguan due out in 2014, running a spectacularly frugal new hybrid system.
Set to underpin the German carmaker's expansive spread at this week's Geneva motor show, the advanced four-wheel drive showcases a new plug-in diesel-electric system that Volkswagen is developing for use in upcoming production models. The drivetrain is claimed to provide the updated 4,096-pound Cross Coupe with combined fuel consumption of 131 mpg (U.S.) on the European test cycle.
The new hybrid system, which replaces the similarly conceived gasoline-electric arrangement of the initial Cross Coupe concept, mates a 187-hp version of Volkswagen's new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder common-rail diesel engine, complete with twin balance shafts, with a pair of electric motors--one up front delivering 54 hp and in combination with the diesel engine providing drive to the front wheels. The other electric motor is mounted at the rear with 114 hp and driving the rear wheels.
The electric motors, produced in house at Volkswagen's Braunschweig-based R&D center in Germany, are driven by a 9.8 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack sitting in the central tunnel. The pack is charged by plugging in, or via regenerative kinetic energy produced on the run or, in range-extender mode, direct from the diesel engine.
With a combined system output of 302 hp and up to 516 lb-ft of torque--295 lb-ft of which is available from just 1,750 rpm--the latest Cross Coupe is claimed to hit 62 mph from standstill in 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed limited to 137mph.
With the claimed 131 mpg, the vehicle's range stretches to 800 miles in hybrid mode on its 14.5-gallon fuel tank. By comparison, the earlier gasoline-electric Cross Coupe concept averaged 105 mpg.
When running on the diesel engine alone at light throttle, the Cross Coupe is driven by its front wheels. Under what Volkswagen describes as "enthusiastic driving," the electric motors join in to deliver power to all four wheels. In off-road mode, the diesel engine combines with the rear electric motor to provide optimum traction.
In pure-electric mode, at which its top speed is limited to 80 mph, Volkswagen's latest concept is said to have a range of up to 28 miles. The driver can choose between hybrid or electric-drive modes via a switch on the center console.
In electric mode a clutch is opened to disengage the diesel engine, reducing mechanical drag. If, however, additional battery charge is required to power the electric motors, the diesel engine springs to life to top up the battery.

Bill O'Reilly foolishly recorded an audio version of his crappy old novel, and now his sexiest quotes are all over the internet. "Cup your hands under your breasts and hold them for ten seconds."
In this top-notch sexy clip, our crack video department weaves a tangled, sexy web of Bill's sexiest sex quotes—pro and con! Ha, remember when he had that sexual harassment suit with the loofah and the falafel and the, who knows, erections and whatnot? Reconsider it. He doesn't look any better now, just funnier.

As it became clear that President Barack Obama was headed for another term in office, the most digitally savvy leader of the free world took to Twitter.
"This happened because of you. Thank you," he tweeted, with a photo of him hugging first lady Michelle Obama, captioned "Four more years."
In the minutes that followed, the photo broke the record for most retweets, wrestling the crown from Justin Bieber.
Meanwhile, celebrities, journalists and politicos of all stripes weighed in on Obama's re-election, none with as much unhinged fervor as Donald Trump.

I have been taking photos ever since I received my first Kodak X-15 Instamatic Camera at the age of 10. In grade school, my best friend's father was a photographer, we got to "play" with cameras and in the darkroom. With camera in hand I was fortunate growing up to have traveled around the US more than most at an early age. Traveling gave me an appreciation for the world around me. I started seeing in a different way, different perspective and appreciating what I saw. As I got older I had the opportunity to travel a little bit overseas which opened up my eyes to other cultures and even more ways of seeing the world. Capturing these views and perspectives on film at first and now digital and sharing them is my passion. I am finally...

photos by seychelle
(h&m hat, castle sweater, cheap monday jeans, vintage sandals, vintage leather purse)
yesterday seychelle and i found some forest behind a parking lot and here are the pictures. i never used to wear this much black but i think it has something to do with getting older. also because of getting older there are some things i don't think i can wear anymore without feeling like i've put on a costume (knee socks, bows, most hats). good thing it's october and we're approaching the one day it's acceptable to wear a costume! please help me think of any/all costumes that would require knee socks, bows, or hats. preferably all at once.
