The Office of the Registrar performs many services, including scheduling courses, registering students for classes, providing certifications, updating and maintaining student records, processing transcripts, and veteran certification.
The schedule of classes is available online at https://apps.umsl.edu/webapps/courseschedules/search_basic.cfm. A printable PDF version is also available at this website.
All new degree-seeking students must see an advisor before registering for classes. Your advisor will give you a copy of your degree audit (DARS) report.
To receive an updated copy of your degree audit report, your "roadmap" toward a degree, you are strongly encouraged to continue to meet with an advisor prior to each registration. You can view and print your own DARS report using the degree audit link on your "MyGateway" page. If you need help in generating or interpreting the report, click on the help links located on the right hand side of the top of the Audit menu page as well as the Audit Help listed under the Audits column. DARS can also be obtained in MyView under the student self-service link- DARS. A DARS report can reduce the risk of completing unnecessary coursework.
You may choose from four different registration options:
You may use MyView to register for courses; check course availability; review your course schedule; view your grades; send your course schedule, fee statement, view and update your biographic information and address; pay tuition and fees with your credit card; and check the status of a refund.
Section changes are allowed during the first week of a regular semester and the first four days of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. After these dates, the instructors' approvals must be obtained for section changes. Forms for doing this may be obtained in the Registration Office or in your College dean's office.
Adding Courses: Students may add a course during the first week of a regular semester, the first four days of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. To avoid missing valuable class time, you should make additions as early as possible.
Dropping Courses: You may drop a course without receiving a grade during the first four weeks of a regular semester and the first two weeks of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. Signatures are not required; however, refunds are reduced based on the date the course is dropped.
After initial Drop Period: After four weeks of a regular semester, two weeks of an 8-week session, and one week of a 4-week session, you will receive either an "EX" grade (which has no effect on GPA) or an "F" (which will be computed in the GPA), depending on your performance in class.
Withdrawing After Initial Drop Period:
During the 5th-12th week of classes, students may withdraw from a course with an "Excused" grade, providing they are passing the course and receive the approval of their instructor and dean's office representative. Otherwise, a failing grade is given. Students not attending classes who fail to drop officially receive an F or FN grades, depending the level of participation in class. After the allowable period, "Excused" grades are given only in exceptional instances where the instructor's approval and dean's approval are given. These grades are recorded on the students' official records. If an F or FN grade is recorded, it is computed in the student's grade point average. No partial credit is granted to students who withdraw from a course during any semester or otherwise fail to complete the work required for full course credit. Please refer to the Semester Calendar to determine allowable timelines.
The University offers students a convenient way to obtain their final grades at the end of each semester. Unless a specific request is made through the Registrar's Office, the University of Missouri System does not distribute grade reports to the students via postal mail. Final course grades are available in your MyView, Self-Services, Student Center.
A printed copy of your grade report can be sent to you upon request at no charge. Your grade report will be mailed to your official address of record. Requests may be made online, by phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person.
The Office of the Registrar will furnish the student a transcript of credits and mail official transcripts to organizations or other colleges/universities. Transcripts are furnished to students' parents/guardians or other institutions only if the student has filed written consent with the Office of the Registrar. There is a minimum $5 fee for each transcript.
A student who believes a greater refund should be authorized due to extenuating circumstances than provided for in the established fee schedule may submit an appeal to the Registrar. The Online Refund Appeal Form is available on the Registrar's website at http://www.umsl.edu/~registration/forms/index.html. All appeal forms must be submitted within 90 days of the close of a Spring or Fall semester and within 30 days of the close of the Summer Sessions.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 set guidelines and procedure for implementing the University's policy on student records. You have the right to review certain educational records that contain information directly related to you, including student financial aid, your cumulative advisement file, health records, disciplinary records, your admission file, and your academic record. You may, upon request, review these records and, if inaccurate information is included, request the expunging of such information from your files. Inaccurate information will then be expunged upon authorization of the official responsible for the file.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Both my warlock and priest have maxed FA but I usually don't use bandages unless the situation really calls for it.
Soloing elite on my lock will sometimes call for a fear then bandage. And my priest will use them in between fights to heal party members instead of wasting mana.
But I feel that everyone should have FA. Like JohnG228 said, it costs nothing to lvl it and as a priest I really like when players heal themselves of minor wounds so I don't have to waste mana.
As a note on the last comment in the post about hunters healing their own pet...as a priest I have no problem healing pets especially if the tank is doing fine. Demanding that hunters and warlock heal their own pets leads to priests not even buffing pets.

First Draft
'Translation of Lambda Expressions in javac' Spec
A first draft of the 'Translation of Lambda Expressions in javac' specification is now available.
The specification aims to present a strategy for translating portions of the 'Lambda Strawman' proposal from Java source code, to bytecode.
A pseudo-syntax for method references will be used for translating to the enhanced 'LDC' bytecode that takes a MethodRef constant type and returns a DirectMethodHandle. The specification proposes to implement function types using method handles. Method handles are strongly dynamically typed but are weakly statically typed.
The draft (pdf) is available now.

Ocean-going yachts and small boats
Swiss ocean-going yachts are intended uniquely for pleasure or sport. The Swiss Office of Maritime Navigation (SMNO) is responsible for their registration. It also issues confirmation of flag registration to small boats sailing on foreign inland waterways and coastal waters.
The SMNO is responsible for registering ocean-going yachts and small boats sailing under the Swiss flag.
Ocean-going yachts
The SMNO checks that legal and technical conditions for registration are fulfilled and issues the certificate of flag registration to applicants. Swiss citizens and associations aiming to encourage nautical sports and sailing for pleasure are entitled to register. Currently, some 1,500 ocean-going yachts sail under the Swiss flag. These yachts are strictly for sport and pleasure sailing; commercial transport of passengers and goods are not allowed.
The SMNO supervises the examining body authorised to issue and license the Swiss Certificate for Capacity (Swiss Certificate for Maritime Navigation). Recognised internationally, the Swiss Certificate has been issued since 2007 by the authorised examining body in a credit-card format.
Small boats
The SMNO issues confirmations of flag registration for small boats sailing on foreign internal waterways and coastal waters of states that do not recognise the Swiss cantonal licence. These boats are not subject to the same technical requirements as yachts. Boats which may be registered in the Swiss Yacht Register are not registered as small boats.

This conversation is closed.
What are classes would you offer to today's students to help improve their education?
What classes would you add a options to all students to help them learn?
I came up with a few:
1) Reasoning- Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, applying logic, for establishing and verifying facts, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information. It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art, and is normally considered to be a definitive characteristic of human nature. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason)
2) Learning-Learning is acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning)
3) Critical thinking-Critical thinking is a way of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true, partly true, or false.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking)
4) Active Listening- Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to feed back what they hear to the speaker, by way of re-stating or paraphrasing what they have heard in their own words, to confirm what they have heard and moreover, to confirm the understanding of both parties.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_listening)
5) Study skills-Study skills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning. They are generally critical to success in school, considered essential for acquiring good grades, and useful for learning throughout one's life. There are an array of study skills, which may tackle the process of organizing and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with assessments. They include mnemonics, which aid the retention of lists of information, effective reading, and concentration techniques, as well as efficient note taking. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studying)
I provided wiki links for further explanation.
What are yours?

Jenny PeersJul 26 2013: I agree that some of the classes suggested in this discussion question may be taught within other classes. I'm not sure that they would work as classes themselves. I think a lot of teachers probably teach active listening and reasoning within other subjects (I know I do) and students probably do these things on a daily bases without even realizing it. Learning, I do not think could be a class because it's not really a teachable area. It is a lifelong process. Everyone learns from the day they are born and they continue to learn until the day they die. Some may say that critical thinking can't be taught, or that it is not a skill. However, there are thinking strategies that once learned can help in the critical thinking process. Being able to think critically depends on knowledge and practice. I believe it is definitely something that can be practiced from day to day in the classroom. Study skills I do agree can and should be taught. I think this could also be integrated into part of another class or several. This should not be left until a child is 14 or 15 years old. It can be started much earlier and gradually implemented as they get older.
I also agree with Robert that we should teach "the process" and I think that good teachers do. If a child doesn't understand what or how to do something to get the desired result, it is our job as educators to explain, model and practice that process with them. Some may understand one way but others may need to be shown a different way to come to a similar result. We need to be flexible where possible, as all kids learn a little differently.
Jul 26 2013: The learning class I was thinking about was more a study of how learning occurs, techniques for learning, and sort of how it relates to the education process. I thought some insight into the process, particularly for the high school age kids might spark some curiosity about the process. I think the concept of metacognition, or learning how to learn, such as is discussed in the pedagogy wiki would also make a good topic in this course.
The integration of these techniques into normal subjects is great and ties into Fritzie's comments below. Again, I see these new courses as a supplement to what is already being taught in these subjects, just to highlight the the importance of the techniques.
Any other ideas about a class that is missing from the current curriculum?

Have I put my 2-year-old in preschool too soon? How do I know if he's really ready for it?
I'm a stay at home mom who decided to put her son in preschool for 3 hours a day.I did so for him, thinking it would be best for him to play and socialize with other kids his age.I am VERY unsure about my decision and am having MANY doubts whether or not I did the right thing.He wakes up in the morning and refuses to get dressed for he knows where he's going.He gets to school and has to be pried away from my arms.He cries only briefly then he's off playing.I pick him up to find that his voice is all 'coarse'like he's losing it!When I ask the teachers if he cried they say that he was happy.When I pick him up,he is thrilled to see me and starts FREAKING out to leave right away.He'll tell me he had fun (only cause I drill him everyday about school being fun)but when I ask him if he wants to go back, he's quick to reply NO!He is also very advanced in his speech but ever since preschool, he's been talking jibberish!I feel like I am doing more harm than good?Is he maybe not ready for school?

i have a two year old and she is in pre preschool which is like daycare and preschool to get her ready for it next year and she loves it to dealth and she knows what to do when she see her class coming down the hall it is so much fun for them to be around kids there age.posted 05/19/2009 by page22007
It sounds as if this daycare might not be the right one for him. I hate to admit it but not everyone in charge of daycares and preschools, regardless of education, is suitable to take care of children. If he seems this worked up maybe it would be best to take him out and try again in about 3-6mths. I can only imagine how much this breaks your heart. Don't worry you are a wonderful mom.posted 05/11/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Really it is completely fine to send a 2 yr old to daycare for a full 8hrs a day. My two sons go for 8-9 hrs a day, and totally love it. We struggled for a while trying to do the stay at home thing. But to tell the truth, I think that daycare is better for them than parents who are stuck at home and/or trying to work and care at the same time. That said, our boys go to the absolute top daycare in the area (about $1500 a month for the two of them - meals not included). The staff are wonderful, the other kids are racially diverse, smart, and have both strange-old conservative parents and totally gay, fun and educated/smart parents - the full gamut. So a very positive influence. Really, we went through a few different options before getting into this fantastic place. I would recommend that you consider moving your son into somewhere different. The quality of the facility will make the difference between positive development and an upset kidposted 04/08/2009 by Li'l_Robin
i diapersposted 04/02/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I am finding it difficult that it is a true preschool that your put your child in. It sounds more like a day care and your son is on the pre school room. Pre-school doesn't start for children that young for the very reason of the problems you are having. They simply are not ready. At two, your son is a toddler, not a preschooler. I recommend activities that are mommy and child active such as story time at the library (free), story time at your local Borders (free) going to the park in nice weather (free). This gives your child the opportunity to interact with other children but still have the security of you right there if needed. Plus you get to interact with other moms for some adult conversation too. Play dates can come of these activities as well. No one knows your child better than you and the fact that you are doubting the decision speaks volumes. Neither of you are ready.posted 03/26/2009 by Mimert
I too am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old with an impressive voacbulary. In this economy my husband and I have contemplated me going back out to work, but our son is diabetic and the mere fact that there are no daycares that, I feel, can monitor him and differentiate between a toddler meltdown and signs of hypoglycemia, I enjoy being at home with him. I've searched for mom & me classes, but can not find any that don't co$t (we are on a tight budget). However, at a recent diabetic support meeting, JDRF had a babysitter. This was the first time he was really under the supervision of someone else --I propped the door open between our meeting room and the playroom and after coming and going a few times, our son felt comfortable enough to stay longer and longer with the babysitter and other kids (all older). This, I think, is the same kind of transition our little ones need when going off to school or anywhere else without 'us'. It can only make for confidence later on. 'Listen' to them.posted 03/20/2009 by Enzo'sMaman
Aidan was 2 years and 2 months when he started school. Before, he was going to an in-home daycare where he was the youngest and I felt the time to put him with kids his age. The school is from 9:30-3:30 and he has been doing an excellent job. He has excelled and is really learning how ti interact with his friends and the teachers. My parents thought it was too early at first to put him into school but they too have agreed we made a good decision. I totally agree that it is up to the child.posted 03/19/2009 by Aidans1mommy06
I am a montessori teacher and a mom. I would say he is just not ready for school. Sign him up for little gym, gymnastics, a library group read...ect. It takes a child about 30 days to "normalize" to his enviroment. If he is running out of the school and freaking out- he is not ready. I would wait until he is 3 or 3 1/2 for him to really appriciate what school has to offer. And then give him the 30 days and decide if the school is a good match for him.posted 03/02/2009 by 04KMR06
What is your motivation in sending him to preschool? At 3, what does he need to know that you don't already & can't teach/show him yourself? As his mom, you are the center of his universe, & he would much rather spend that 3 hrs with you working on puzzles (shapes, size, colors, #'s, ABC's ~ Melissa & Doug make great ones!!), reading books, and counting M&M's or Cheerios. This time of learning and growth can be a great time together. You are a blessed woman to be home with your son. Enjoy that time, & trust yourself to discover the world with him. The internet is a great resource of songs, games, and activities to do with your child (I love Homeschoolshare.com!). You don't need to spend thousands of dollars & tears to send him away to school at such a young age. Do "school" with him at home for now & SHOW him how fun it is instead of trying so hard to convince/drill him to enjoy an experience he finds stressful. Working moms need preschool. Enjoy him awhile longer. Time goes too fast!posted 02/19/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
You should follow your instints but keep in mind that sometimes it is as hard for us as for them to let go. Sometimes our fear and our reactions translate into their reactions. Many children react in a similar fashion to kindergarten if that is the first time they have been seperated from their parent. First thing you need is confidence in the pre-school. You should be able to come and spy through a parent window when you want. If you are feeling like maybe he is crying more than they are letting on, then drop in and check on him without him knowing you are there. I chose a bilingual montessori for my girls and that environment promotes learning without feeling like you are in a classroom. The teachers are nurturing. The kids are learning through play. My girls started at 20 and 18 mo.,They cried (me too) for the first 2 weeks when I dropped them off. When I did my drop-ins they were happy. That let me know that they were learning independence and I was learning to let go a little.posted 02/16/2009 by ak4sopps

allezhopper I don't remember seeing this on my 105 5700 pedals, but did see what looked like excessive grease on the lefthand R540's after refitting them on my Allez. I'll keep an eye out to see if they are affected. BTW having the pedal rotate freer , for me, is better as it means that flicking it forward when setting off actually gets the pedal level and makes clipping in easier.

Filmmakers are no strangers to the world of magic and illusions. Both Orson Welles and Woody Allen were talented amateur magicians, and directors sometimes treat editing as little more than an excuse to fool audiences and exert their powers of manipulation. Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan juggle timelines with such ease and dexterity that seeing them tackle the topic of illusionists would seem to be a perfect fit of talent and material. The Prestige is the cinematic equivalent of watching a Penn & Teller show. The Nolans, like the comedy magic duo, lay out exactly what they are going to do. The answers to the mysteries are right in front of the viewer for pretty much the entire film, but they surround the simple truths with so much misdirection and showmanship that even the most alert viewer is likely to be taken in by the elaborate ruse. The filmmakers reveal everything about their characters' tricks, including plainly stating the dramatic arc that a good magic trick follows, and still manage to thrill the audience with their skill. The look of Christopher Nolan's films are, for the most part, cold. He has a very cerebral, considered tone to his movies that would be off-putting if not for the fact that he consistently hires actors who are able to get at viewers' emotions. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, as the magicians carrying on a lethal feud, carry the weight of The Prestige, each playing deeply flawed characters whose drive and ambition make them inherently interesting. In lesser hands, The Prestige could have become an empty exercise where the twists and turns might seem at best arbitrary or, at worst, manipulative. Thankfully, the editing and imagemaking is so precise, and the screenplay so beautifully layered, that the finished result tickles the audience with anticipation and bewilderment. The Nolans and their talented cast never play the viewers for suckers, even when fooling them right in front of their eyes.

Ukraine names eleven varied new Ramsar Sites
Ukraine now has 33 Wetlands of International Importance
The Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine, in collaboration with the Wetlands International Black Sea Programme and expert staff members from a number of important protected areas around the country, has presented the data, maps, and designation documents for 11 new Wetlands of International Importance, effective 29 July 2004 and covering 28,401 hectares, in a fascinating variety of habitat types. All of them have already been designated as National Parks or Nature Reserves in-country (one of them is part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve 'Askania-Nova') and already have ongoing research activities, in most cases management plans, and in many cases visitor infrastructure. They are found in nearly all parts of the country - coastal sites in Crimea on the Azov and Black Seas (Cape Kazantyp, Karadag, Cape Opuk); a pod or steppe depression also in the south (Chapelsk); a bay of the Dniester River itself (Bakotska Bay) and a canyon and delta of one of its tributaries (the Smotrych); floodplains near the Russian border in the north (Desna) and more in the center of the country (Dnipro-Oril); a lake formed by mountain landslides in the Carpathians (Synevyr); and extensive peatlands in the Polesie area near the Belarus frontier (Perebrody, Polissia mires), which are part of continuing discussions with Belarus and Poland concerning transboundary management.
Ukraine now has 33 Ramsar Sites covering a surface area of 744,651 hectares, and the Convention's global total now reaches 1376 sites covering 122,691,471 ha. Ramsar's Assistant Advisor for Europe, Estelle Gironnet, has prepared brief site descriptions of the new sites which give a strong sense of their value for the biodiversity of the region. The photographs are by Grygoriy Parchuk.
Aquatic-cliff complex of Cape Kazantyp. 29/07/04; Crimean AR; 251 ha; 45°28'N 035°51'E. Nature Reserve. Coastal area of the Sea of Azov composed of pebble and detritus-coquina bays with thickets of macrophytic algae Cystoseira barbata and vascular plants Zannichellia major and Zostera noltii. It is an important spawning ground for crustaceans and rare fish species, such as the Great Sturgeon Huso huso ponticus, and maintains a significant proportion of indigenous fish species. The site is used as a nesting and migration stop-over, especially for the Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea, and qualifies under Criterion 6 for the bird populations of Phalacrocorax carbo, Gelochelidon nilotica and Larus genei. Marine mammals (Phocoena phocoena, Tursiops truncates) visit the area. During hot summer sometimes, fish kill occurs due to abrupt decrease of the oxygen content. The Nature Reserve has a visitors' centre and management plan. Ramsar site no. 1393.
Aquatic-cliff complex of Karadag. 29/07/04; Crimean AR; 224 ha; 44°56'N 035°14'E. Nature Reserve, Important Bird Area. Located at the southeastern part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the aquatic-cliff complex of Karadag comprises sublittoral marine areas up to 6 metres depth, bays, a narrow strip of pebble-boulder coast and coastal cliffs up to 120m high. It is an important place for birds, notably during migrations, and other vulnerable animal species such as the bats Rhinolophus hipposideros and Myotis emarginatus, colonies of which settle in the grottoes. The marine area with nationally rare algae and seagrass meadows constitutes a good spawning habitat for many fish species and supports, among others, the Great Sturgeon Huso huso ponticus. Dolphins approach the coast periodically. Ecological trails and a nature centre are near the site. Ramsar site no. 1394.
Aquatic-coastal complex of Cape Opuk. 29/07/04; Crimean AR; 775 ha; 45°01'N 036°12'E. Nature Reserve. Combination of steep limestone rocks on the seaside (marine boundary lines along 6 meter isobath), sandy-coquina spits, and a salt lake. Thousands of birds winter in the wetland complex or stop during their migrations, especially the White-fronted Goose, Mallard, Garganey, and Coot. Threatened species such as the Eagle Aquila heliaca or the Bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum occur within the area. Thickets of macrophytic algae provide a suitable habitat for protected species such as the Great Sturgeon and the Black Sea Salmon and constitute an important spawning ground for many other fish species. Dolphins and porpoises (Phocoena phocoena, Tursiops truncatus) are observed periodically. Environmental education activities and scientific researches are carried out annually. Ramsar site no. 1395.
Bakotska Bay. 29/07/04; Khmelnytska Oblast; 1,590 ha; 48°35'N 026°56'E. National Park. The site was formed during the filling of a low-lying area of the Dniester River valley with waters of the newly-constructed Dniester Reservoir located downstream. It supports vulnerable bird and fish species such as Lesser Kestrel, Corncrake, and the fish Zingel and has a special importance for birds of prey. Various bird species like Mallard, Mute Swan, Great White Egret, and Little Egret use the wetland complex for a long period of time during their spring and autumn migrations. The site is also important as spawning grounds for common and rare fish species. Nature conservation activities and scientific research are carried out; leisure, fishing, hunting are regulated by the Podilski Tovtry National Park. Changes of the water level due to Dniester Reservoir drawdown adversely affect the site. State ownership. A monastery from the 9th century was built into the limestone rocks. Ramsar site no. 1396.
Big Chapelsk Depression. 29/07/04; Khersonska Oblast; 2,359 ha; 46°29'N 033°51'E. IBA, Nature Reserve, Biosphere Reserve 'Askania-Nova'. Natural shallow depression (or "pod") filled by water from melted snow and rains -- thanks to additional water from artesian wells, the lake, at the central part of the depression, never dries up. Hundreds of thousands of birds use the depression during autumn and spring migrations. Among them, large flocks of White-fronted Goose, Crane, Red-breasted Goose, and Ruddy Shelduck feed during the daytime on the steppe and agricultural lands of the surroundings and come back to rest at night in the site. Non-freezing lakes permanently supplied by fresh water from artesian wells of the local zoo provide wintering opportunities for birds such as the mallards (5 to 16 thousand individuals) or the white-fronted geese (up to 40 thousand). Research and bird monitoring are carried out. The Biosphere Reserve and zoo receive up to 60,000 tourists annually but visits to the site itself are limited to about 500. A decrease of the water level periodically occurs every 12 years and disturbs the fauna distribution pattern. Ramsar site no. 1397.
Desna River Floodplains. 29/07/04; Sumska Oblast; 4,270 ha; 52°19'N 033°23' E. National Park. River network with lakes, oxbows, mires and floodplain meadow areas, along the border with Russia, with aquatic and riverside vegetation types, swamp, shrubs, meadow, and partly forest. The site supports rare aquatic plant communities listed in the Green Data Book of Ukraine and internationally threatened species such as the Sterlet, the Common Otter, the Eurasian beaver, the Corncrake and many other birds which nest within the site. Between the new and former Desna River beds, colonies of grebes, ducks, plovers, sandpipers, gulls, and terns are settled. It is an important reproduction place as well for 33 fish species, which contributes to enriching the ichthyofauna stock of the lower river tributaries. Human activities include nature conservation and recreation activities, regulated hunting and scientific research. Observation of bird migrations and bird ringing during the nesting season are carried out. Ramsar site no. 1398.
Dnipro-Oril Floodplains. 29/07/04; Dnipropetrovska Oblast; 2,560 ha; 48°32'N 034°45'E. IBA, Nature Reserve. A well preserved area at the confluence of the Dnipro (or Dneiper) and Oril Rivers, comprising a system of watercourses and related floodplains with numerous lakes, mires, and well-developed flora of vascular plants, including rare communities of Salvinia natans and Trapa natans, floodplain forests with oak, willow, poplar and alder. The site is an important nesting place for Oystercatcher, Corncrake, Black Stork, Night Heron, and White Tailed Eagle and represents a key point of of the Dnipro bird migration route. Large flocks of Mallard, Garganey, Coot and White-fronted Goose stop over during their autumn migrations. It supports many internationally threatened species such as the mammals Lutra lutra, Castor fiber, reptile species Emys orbicularis, Vipera ursinii, amphibians Bombina bombina. Some 40 fish species, including the Sterlet Acipenser ruthenus, are recorded. The water level depends upon weather conditions but also substantially upon operations of a reservoir built downstream. Ramsar site no. 1399.
Lake Synevyr. 29/07/04; Zakarpatska Oblast; 29 ha; 48°37'N 023°41'E. National Park. Located among spruce forests, Lake Synevyr, though small, is the largest natural water body in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Three permanent mountain streams flow into the lake, causing accelerated silting in those places and transforming into eutrophic mires overgrown by Glyceria fluitans and Equisetum palustre. The Noble Crayfish Astacus astacus and flora species listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine are registered within the site. Floating vegetation communities of the lake are represented by different species of Potamogeton and littoral-water communities by stands of Glyceria fluitans, Equisetum palustre, Mentha piperita. The lake, associated with legends and widely popular among local people, is a symbol of the Ukrainian Carpathians and represents a great environmental and educational value. Human activities include regulated recreation, scientific research and nature conservation. Ramsar site no. 1400.
Lower Smotrych River. 29/07/04; Khmelnytska Oblast; 1,480 ha; 48°35'N 026°36'E. National Park. Canyon and delta areas of the Smotrych River upstream from its confluence with the Dniester River. Thanks to this combination of habitats, the site provides good conditions of reproduction for bats, birds of prey, waterbirds and fish species under international protection such as the Pond Bat, the Corncrake and the Black Sea Roach and presents rare and representative flora communities. Nature conservation activities and scientific research are carried out; leisure, fishing, hunting are regulated by the Podilski Tovtry National Park. National Park website: www.tovtry.km.ua. Ramsar site no. 1401.
Perebrody Peatlands. 29/07/04; Rivnenska Oblast; 12,718 ha; 51°42'N 027°07'E. Nature Reserve. The site, including several small lakes, is important for conservation of the typical boreal mire flora and fauna, especially the northern part at the border with Belarus. Lowland sedge-reed communities are concentrated in the central over-damp part of the site and transitional sedge-sphagnum communities prevail at its periphery. The association of Carex lasiocarpa with sphagnum mosses is the dominant plant community of the site. Forest and coppice communities cover a large part of it with Scots pine Pinus sylvestris on islands and dune tops and Betula pendula, Alnus glutinosa and Salix alba in swamp areas. Besides the widespread species of Anatidae and Rallidae, Black Stork Ciconia nigra, Corncrake Grus grus, Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus, Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola, and Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus nest within the site. Presence of the European Otter Lutra lutra and Castor fiber is registered. During extensive floods every 10 years or so, the site territory can be almost completely covered by water. Ramsar site no. 1402.
Polissia Mires. 29/07/04; Zhytomyrska Oblast; 2,145 ha; 51°31'N 28°01'E. Nature Reserve. A large swamp area of transitional mires and oligotrophic bogs fed by rain and snow waters and, at the border with Belarus, a separated wetland complex of transitional mires and fens integrated in small rivers floodplains. A significant part of the mires is forested with Betula pubescens and Alnus glutinosa. The site is important for the conservation of the flora and supports rare and endangered species of clubmosses, mosses, algae and the endemic vascular plant Tragopogon ucrainicus. Birds such as Crex crex, Ciconia nigra, Grus grus, Gallinago gallinago and Aquila heliaca use the site for reproduction. Felix lynx and Lutra lutra are permanently recorded. Scientific research and nature conservation activities are ongoing. Ramsar site no.1403.

Museum people have a hard time throwing things away—our offices are proof of this. When the Washington Post took a peek into the office of a senior curator who had worked at the National Gallery of Art for 38 years, I recognized the telltale signs of a long career of sharing collections and stories with the public. As museum folk, we see the value of the stuff we preserve and interpret—and we tend to hang onto that.
But curators aren't the only ones guilty of keeping props from exhibitions that closed years ago, scraps of public feedback on comment cards, and other bits and pieces of the building's history. Property Management Specialist Angela Perez and Architect/Project Manager Pedro Colon recently acquired their own office decor.
As two staff members involved in the renovation of the museum's west wing, a project that will bring the museum new galleries, an education center, interior public plazas, performing arts spaces, and a panoramic view of the Washington Monument, Perez and Colon were doing a routine walk-through when they noticed something odd.
"There were two cans hanging out of a wall where the contractors had already started to cut through," said Perez. "The cans caught our eye." They turned out to be RC Cola cans from around 1958. "Pretty cool, huh? What a fun and great find! I wonder what else are in those walls..." she said.
"There are perks in everyone's job," said Perez. "That day was a perk for us!"
To some, the cans may just be junk. But to museum folks, the discovery piqued our interest in learning more about RC Cola. The combination of an RC Cola and a MoonPie were known in the 1930s as the "working man's lunch," a ten-cent meal popular among laborers and coal miners. Perhaps workers from the building's construction had enjoyed the beverages—after all, the groundbreaking took place in August of 1958. In the 1950s, a country song called celebrated the sweet combination, which some still enjoy today, especially at the Bell Buckle, Tennessee, annual festival honoring the treat.
But there are many other historical angles from which to explore the cans, especially if you're a museum curator. "I would encourage viewers to take a closer look at the can to think about manufacturing, labeling, and marketing changes," said Shannon Perich, associate curator for the photographic history collection. "History is everywhere, even in someone's hidden trash."
As renovation transforms the museum, the cola cans offered us an opportunity to reflect on the museum's history and the different angles we take on historical objects and stories. It reminded me of an activity I've done while training museum volunteers to visually investigate objects. You give them a McDonald's food container (or any other everyday object) and ask them 50 questions about it. 50 Ways to Look at a Big Mac Box challenges us to truly mine an object for the maximum number of possible meanings; once you try this, you have a new appreciation for the job of writing a museum label or picking a theme for a section of an exhibition.
Have you ever stumbled upon a piece of history while renovating a room or moving? Tell us in the comments!
The museum's center core and east wing remain open during renovation. Before visiting, check out our renovation website to see which exhibitions have moved or closed and plan your visit.

On December 3, the museum announced the temporary closing of Bon Appetit! Julia Child's Kitchen at the Smithsonian. The last day to see this popular exhibition, which features the 14-by-20-foot kitchen from the legendary cook's Cambridge, Massachusetts home, will be Sunday, January 8, 2012.
The exhibition showing Julia Child's kitchen
The next day, museum staff and volunteers will begin packing all of the tools, utensils, appliances, and gadgets that have been on display in the kitchen since Bon Appetit! opened in 2002. Everything will be carefully stored while a new and larger gallery space is prepared. In late summer, the kitchen will go back on view, with all of its parts and pieces exactly as Julia had arranged them before she donated the kitchen to the Smithsonian in 2001.
Over the course of the next several months, watch this space for news about the new exhibition. In the meantime, the museum team offers suggestions on how to cope for a few months sans Julia Child's kitchen.
1. Visit the two NMAH websites about Julia Child: Bon Appétit! Julia Child's Kitchen, where you can virtually explore the kitchen, its history, and many of Julia's kitchen tools; and What's Cooking?, which features curators' stories of collecting the kitchen.
2. Remind yourself of Julia's masterful cookbooks. Our favorites: Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volumes One and Two; The French Chef; From Julia Child's Kitchen; Kitchen Wisdom; The Way to Cook; Baking with Julia; and Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home. Pick a recipe and cook it for someone or, better yet, invite someone to cook with you!
3. Make French bread (Mastering, Vol. Two). While you're waiting for the dough to rise, watch reruns of Julia's cooking shows on Public TV or get the DVDs of her early French Chef series.
4. Immerse yourself in Julia's biography by reading about her life: Appetite for Life, by Noel Riley Fitch; Julia Child, A Life, by Laura Shapiro; My Life in France by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme; As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child & Avis DeVoto, edited by Joan Reardon.
5. Cook with the museum staff—check out our previous blog posts, which reveal how we challenged ourselves to cook our favorite Julia Child recipes in 2009. Get the inside scoop from George Washington University Museum Studies students who helped the museum team conduct condition surveys of hundreds of Julia's tools and cookware in 2011.
6. Pour yourself a glass of wine and watch Julie and Julia, the 2009 film starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Stanley Tucci, and directed by Nora Ephron.
7. Brush up on your cake baking skills, because you'll want to bake a cake in honor of Julia's 100th birthday on August 15, 2012. May we suggest the exquisite Reine de Saba (Queen of Sheba) cake (Mastering Vol. One, and also in The Way to Cook)?

Have you ever wondered why the exterior of the National Museum of American History looks the way it does?
Architectural sketch of the proposed Museum of History and Technology
Originally called the Museum of History and Technology, the building was designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead, and White to blend the traditional architecture of the National Mall with more modern design to reflect the museum's technological subject matter as well as its own role as a cutting edge museum. According to a 1988 interview with architect Walker O. Cain, "this [1950s and 60s] was a curious time. It isn't that modern had taken over or that the traditional had totally relinquished control; the problem was how to resolve the two." As a result, the building is what Cain describes as "classical in definition, and the detailing is modern."

Classical architecture in the style of ancient Greece or Rome is characterized by symmetry, repetition, domes, carved decorations, columns, and large broad terraced bases. Many buildings on the National Mall, like the National Museum of Natural History, the National Gallery West building, the Lincoln Memorial, and the United States Capitol, show this classical influence. The cumulative effect of these designs was intended to create a "monumental core" within the nation's capital, suggesting legitimacy, splendor, formality, and a firm grounding in history.

Modernist architecture, on the other hand, is characterized by less ornately decorated exteriors, more sheer planes, and abstract shapes. The Hirshhorn Museum and Scultpure Garden and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art are good examples.

The National Museum of American History features both of these influences. For example, the most distinct feature of the museum's design is the recessed and projecting bays of the exterior walls. The classical influence on this design is evident in the repetition and symmetry of the bays, which resemble columns like those on the Lincoln Memorial. However, in keeping with more abstract modernist aesthetics, the sheer marble planes merely suggest columns rather than actually forming them. The cornice around the top of the museum is another classical feature, but is also modern in that it breaks from tradition by being supported by horizontal outriggers to create a more abstract "shadow cornice." Finally, rather than having small windows typically used in classical architecture, the museum features large glass windows, meant to connect the inside of the museum to the outside while providing a view of the surrounding "monumental core" of the city. In these and other features, the classical and modern characteristics combine to create a building that remembers the past while looking to the future.

For frequent visitors to the museum, the construction outside may seem as though it has been going on forever! Well, in a way, it has.
After September 11, 2001, the National Mall—and Washington, D.C., in general—saw a plethora of "jersey" barriers erupt around the city. These concrete barriers (yes, named after New Jersey where they were invented for use on highways) were on every corner, at every building-placed for the most part haphazardly and hurriedly. Not to mention bollards, which also appeared daily around the city. Although the need for security was real, it became evident that there was also a need for security that could work and yet not detract from the beauty of Washington and the Mall.
The Smithsonian Institution's "Mall Perimeter Security Project" was initiated shortly after September 11 to prevent damage from potential car bombs and threats to the Smithsonian buildings. The goal was to provide the setbacks required by the Office of Protection Services while at the same time providing an open, inviting, and safe environment for visitors and staff, with minimal impact to the Mall. This was not even easier said than done and, at the outset, those of us involved in this project thought: "How on earth could we ever do this?"
The Smithsonian hired architects Beyer Blinder Belle (BBB) to create a plan which would meet our needs. Since the Mall is such a sensitive area in terms of historic preservation, meetings (many) were scheduled with representatives from the National Park Service, the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the National Capital Planning Commission, and the Commission of Fine Arts. In addition, public interest groups such as the Committee of 100 (Washington's oldest preservation group), architectural historians, and the National Coalition to Save Our Mall were invited to share their thoughts. BBB not only created a plan but they were so creative in doing so that, in the end, all the commissions and preservation groups approved it.
Basically, everyone agreed that the best solution was not to put up additional barriers, but to use what we had—incorporate existing design features such as raising the height of existing walls to meet the minimum security design requirements. Wherever possible, it was important to incorporate plantings and seating in the plan and, above all, leave space for pedestrian traffic and not close off the museum's landscape. The museums should continue to be as open and inviting as the Mall.
The security around the National Museum of American History was the easiest to design. The building's stark, elegant exterior lent itself to the installation at vehicle entrances of free-standing and retractable bollards. These sculptural bollards were created in stainless steel, a material used often throughout the building. Perimeter fencing with openings for pedestrian access was installed around the building and existing walls were strengthened. None of these security elements detracted from the from the Mall or the museum.
Take a look at the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Museum of Natural History to see how well integrated the perimeter security is with the Mall. The creativity and patience of the entire design team made for a sensitive solution to a difficult problem.

Pixelization is not usually a desired effect, but it is a much-anticipated event this week at the National Museum of American History. A team of riggers is attaching 960 notebook-sized tiles or "pixels" of polycarbonate resin to the Abstract Flag in the center of the museum. The flag, a focal point and striking new symbol of our renovation, waves over the new atrium heralding the gallery for the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the National Anthem. This is an architectural representation of a waving flag—approximately 40 feet long by 19 feet high and made of 15 stripes, or ribbons. The reflective pixels will mirror the light and the movement of visitors in the atrium.
The installation of pixels is a mesmerizing process. Two large lifts move in syncopation carrying riggers and pre-assembled sets of five tiles to be bolted to the undulating metal frame. The pixels, which are both translucent and mirrored, reflect the clothing colors and deliberate movements of the four men. Ribbons of pixels are emerging starting from the top of the frame, and because they are so heavy—weighing a total of about 2000 pounds—two flats with sandbags hang at the bottom to keep it counterbalanced. The work goes remarkably fast, and given the marvelous vantage point from the window in the director's office I would be surprised if he's getting much work done.
As the rest of the architectural details of our construction come more into focus each day, one part of the renovation is rapidly and spectacularly pixelating.
Judy Gradwohl is the museum's associate director for public programs, but don't look for her over the next few days—she'll be watching the Abstract Flag take shape.

Defend Religious Liberty for All
healthcare and conscience
Rather than asking for conscience clauses, it seems like a more productive area to pursue the process of decoupling insurance from work. Even before "Obamacare", there were sound reasons to make healthcare independent of employment. If people were allocated part of their salary to be used to purchase independent insurance, the employer could provide a voucher sort of payment that the employee could then use to purchase healthcare--and only healthcare, not diverted to some other purpose--but the actual details of the provider, plan chosen, etc, would not be shared with the employer, since the details of a person's healthcare choices really are none of the employer's business.

- Longtonian Nov 9, 2009 01:27 AM
We are visiting Manhattan for the first time later in November and for the last couple of weeks we've been doing some research on where to eat and drink. However, we feel swamped by all the information available and need some help from the NYC horse's mouth, so to speak. One problem is that New Yorkers seem very adept at finding things wrong with restaurants/eateries (nothing wrong with that, we like a good complaint ourselves), so when we find somewhere that looks good in the Time Out guide or NYMag etc and then go on to read "real" reviews, someone will always find something bad about the place! Just to fill you in about what we're looking for.....Firstly, we're staying for five nights at the Tribeca Grand - we're looking at 5 or 6 breakfasts, lunches/brunches and dinners. We're not looking for high end dining, just good quality food in a good atmosphere. Neither of us eats meat, but we do eat fish (but my wife only does so of it's face has been removed, it is skinned, boned and cut in the shape of a teddy bear and doesn't taste of fish). We like ethnic food, particularly Indian and Chinese and are partial to good quality pizza. This doesn't mean we'd exclude other types of restaurant though. A few reviews mention places, particularly Chinese as being "dirty" - we like authentic, but would prefer to avoid this! For breakfast and dinner we'd probably stay localish (within safe walking distance or short cab ride for the latter) but for lunch we'll probably be out and about - one day we aim to walk over to Brooklyn to Williamsburg, another day we'll try the Staten Island Ferry, and we'll spend one day uptown. Other days TBA - one of them will be Thanksgiving. Any bar recommendations would also be gratefully received - we like a cocktail and good beer (microbrewery stuff). I know all this info is probably available on the boards already, but we are already up to our necks! Thanks in advance. Steve nd Sue
Try Motorino for pizza.
if you like dim sum, try Red Egg in Chinatown. there is also a vegetarian chinese resto in tribeca called, Buddah Bodai and its is also a bring your own.
In tribeca, i'd go to landmarc for dinner.
Red Egg
202 Centre St, New York, NY 10013
Lombardi's would be fairly close to you for pizza.
I would recommend not getting Indian for in NYC because it is infinitely better in Britain! (I studied abroad in London, and miss the cheap Indian there so much.)
If you like ethnic food, you should try Mexican if you are here. NYC is not the best place in the States to get Mexican by any measure, but it has Britain beat by far. Downtown, for vegetarians, I like La Esquina (go to the taqueria upstairs or the cafe which has waiter service but no res) and Barrio Chino (small, noisy, long waits, but good).
dba in the east village has an enormous beer selection, but i am not sure about microbrews.

I hear what you are saying. Way too many people go to the internet just to complain and a good deal of the time they are complaining because they are simply ignorant of how things should be. That said, I hope we can help as the sheer number of restaurants can be overwhelming.
For Good Microbrews there are a few good places.
West Village-Blind Tiger Ale House, probably the best selection in NYC and they have decent food there. You will be on Bleeker street with good Pizza (John's). There is also Murray's cheese shop which is excellent down the block.
East Village-DBA is another good beer bar that usually has cask offerings. If you are in the area you can bring food in as they do not serve any. The East village has a lot of good offerings. There are a number of Indian places on sixth street where you can get take away and eat at the bar. Another option which would be good is to get some classic Jewish NY food and take it to DBA and enjoy with a pint. Just down the block on Houston you will find Russ and Daughters. They have a wide assortment of smoked and cured fish. Ask for an open faced bagel so you can try two different types of fish, Sable and Nova are the two most popular. Your girlfriend might find it to be a bit too fishy but it is really good and very NYC. On the same block there is Yonah Schimmels Knishery. You can pick up a few Knishes here. If you have never tried one, it is worth it.
Midtown-Rattle N Hum-another good microbrew bar with a wide variety of American craft offerings. The food in this area is not so good but you can walk down Lexington until you get to the 20's and you will find a strip of Indian places with vegetarian offerings. Also if you would like some Korean food you could walk over to 32nd between 5th and 6th avenues. There is a vegetarian place called Hangawi which is very good and I am a complete omnivore.
In Williamsburg there are a number of bars that offer craft beer. There is another outpost of DBA, Mugs, Spuyten Duyvil, the Brooklyn Brewery.
If you are wondering which American microbrews to try, start a post on the beer board.
Hopefully others can offer more vegetarian selections as this is not my forte. Most of the Chinese or other Asian places I go to are meat reliant. Good luck and enjoy New york.
Hey, Steve and Sue,
Nice to hear that you'll be making your first trip to NYC. Here are a few suggestions.
I highly recommend Pampano, on 49th St., b/t 2nd & 3rd Avs. It serves modern Mexican cuisine and has a fish/seafood centric menu. Good service. Very nice ambiance. At lunch, they offer a 3-course prix fixe for $28.
Photos of our most recent dinner there can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11863391...
Pearl Oyster Bar, in Greenwich Village, is another good option. More casual than Pampano. The lobster roll is excellent! Since they don't take reservations, I think the best time to go is for lunch at around 2 - 2:15 p.m. (they stop serving lunch at 2:30), when you probably won't have a wait. There is both bar and table seating.
Here are photos of our lunch there in June: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11863391...
For options on Thanksgiving, the list on OpenTable, though not totally comprehensive, is a good resource.
Since this is your first time in NYC, you might want to consider taking my famous Lower East Side noshing tour. As you walk the streets of this interesting, historic neighborhood, you will sample some quintessentially New York foo. One caveat: The tour starts at Katz's; however, but since you don't eat meat, and Katz's is all about the pastrami, skip it and start the tour at Russ & Daughters. Here's the link to the tour: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/493333

re: kansel
Thanks for the offer - is there a way I can I let you have my email address without posting it publicly?
re: kansel
Why don't you post your food recommendations here, so we can all benefit from them?
Not sure if you want to consider Italian but athough it does not get much mention here, Ecco on Chambers Street is often quite good, especially if you stick to the specials. It has an appealing "old New York" ambiance and a nice bar area--stop in and take a look when you pass by....
124 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007
lucky you since you're staying downtown, you will be a short cab ride from anywhere in tribeca, soho, west village, east village, chinatown, and lower east side. 5 min walk from your hotel is Bubby's for bkfst (popular neighborhood brunch spot), and for dinner Locanda Verde (v. reasonable italian in the Greenwich Hotel). also good for b/l/d nearby is Landmarc. La Esquina prev mentioned is good and a 20 min walk (or short cab) away, as is Balthazar for french. Pbly will want to cab to Chinatown -- depends on how people define dirty there. My husband doesn't like eating there in general but I have no probs with it. Jong Fong or Golden Unicorn for wknd dimsum are popular, Congee Village is good as well as Joe's Shanghai (none of these are hole-in-wall places and are popular enough). Good bars for a nightcap near your hotel -- Macao Trading restaurant has a nice bar area with interesting cocktails, Brandy Library for your single malts, Anotheroom (beer and wine only). I hate being deluged with reco's in a new city as well -- my strategy is to pick the areas/neighborhoods I want to visit, and have a list of 3-4 restaurants in each one (for back-ups in case one is closed, or wait is too long, etc). But I'm kind of a big planner like that. Have fun and enjoy your stay -- once you're here, you'll see tons of places you'll want to go to!
Joe's Shanghai
24 W 56th St, New York, NY 10019

100 Allen St, New York, NY 10002

Chinatown is a short walk from Tribeca - as in, 10 minutes - so no need to take a cab if your feet are in good shape, unless you want to.
I agree with some of the recommendations I've seen in this thread and strongly disagree with others.
If you want dim sum, unless you're willing to either (a) go to Flushing or Brooklyn or (b) spend a lot of money at Chinatown Brasserie on Great Jones and Lafayette (not in Chinatown), your best bet is Dim Sum Go Go. I do not recommend any of the big eating halls (Jing Fong, Golden Unicorn, Grand Harmony, etc.) as anything special.
For non-dim sum Cantonese food (breakfast, lunch, or dinner), Great NY Noodletown is a reliable old standby. They have good seafood dishes if you want them, such as shrimps with yellow chives or pea shoots, and also good Lo Mein with Ginger and Scallion. The place is in fact dirty, so if that puts you off, don't go, but I've never had one bit of trouble from their food in close to 30 years of eating there.
Congee Village is also good and has some interesting vegetable dishes, such as Eggplant Vegetables with Bean Curd and Lotus Root with Special (i.e., red) Bean Sauce, and their razor clams are excellent, so it may be worth your while to visit. It's really in the Lower East Side, so a longer walk from Tribeca.
As for pizza, stay away from Lombardi's. I'm bemused by tourists waiting on line to get there; they're living off their reputation from long ago and their publicity. My favorite place is the New Neapolitan-Style Keste, and I also look forward to trying the much-recommended Motorino soon. For New York-style coal-oven pizza, there's Patsy's in East Harlem and Arturo's in the Village. Arturo's may particularly please you because they have an excellent Clam Pizza.
One last thing: For Williamsburg recommendations, make sure to post to the Outer Boroughs Board. Have a great trip!

The recent announcement that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed Adam Pacman Jones to a one-year contract is a surprise and shock.
The issue with Jones, who turns 26 on Sept. 30, has never been physical skills; it has been off-the-field incidents.
He pleaded no contest to one count of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct and received a one-year suspended sentence. Jones was later suspended by the NFL for the entire 2007 season, and the Titans traded him to Dallas prior to the 2008 campaign.
The 26-year-old is notorious for his multiple run-ins with the law, which led to two separate suspensions by the NFL. He has been arrested at least six times and interviewed by police on at least a dozen occasions since being drafted by the Tennessee Titans with the sixth overall pick of the 2005 NFL draft.
Jones ran into more off-the-field trouble while with the Cowboys, getting into an alcohol-related conflict with a team-appointed bodyguard at a Dallas hotel in October. The incident led to a four-game suspension from the NFL, and Jones spent part of his time off taking part in an alcohol rehabilitation program.
Several NFL general managers said in the last week that Jones has the skill set to be a productive player, but one added: "He's already got 2 1/2 strikes against him, so he's just not worth the time."
Jones is free to join the Blue Bombers because he isn't currently serving an NFL suspension and as a free agent can sign with any team. After the Toronto Argonauts' signing of Ricky Williams in 2006, the CFL changed its rules, banning suspended players from coming north.
It's incredible that Jones has never done any jail time which is exactly what he needs. I don't understand how he could get a Canadian work visa considering his history with the law. He is the last thing the CFL needs.
Hope he enjoys Winnipeg winters which begins in about a month. Yes it does snow there as early as October.
UPDATE: Looks like Pacman isn't being allowed into Canada. Best news of the week.

Notes: Grilled corn has been a Sunset standard since the 1930s.
Sunset AUGUST 1998
1. Strip husks and silks from 6 ears corn (7 to 8 in.).
2. Prepare barbecue for direct heat.
If using charcoal briquets, cover firegrate with a single, solid layer of ignited coals; let them burn down to desired heat. Set grill in place and measure heat.
If using a gas barbecue, turn all burners to high and close lid for 10 minutes. Adjust burners to desired heat. Set grill in place and measure heat.
When grill is medium-hot (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds) lay corn on barbecue and turn ears as needed until hot and speckled with brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Rub corn with lime wedges and sprinkle with salt to taste.

Megan McDonald's popular series of children's books comes to life on the big screen in a boisterous funfair of a movie that will have the under-tens roaring with laughter but the adults reaching for the Nurofen.
When Judy (Jordanna Beatty) discovers her best friends are going away for the summer, as well as her own parents, she gets all in a huff about spending it with her brother Stink, whose obsession with Bigfoot is driving her crazy, and her bohemian Aunt Opal (Heather Graham), who can't drive, cook or stop snoring.
The situation is most definitely not "uber rare", as Judy would say. Until, that is, she starts the "thrill points" race, a dare challenge that sets her off walking tightropes and getting vomited on in a fairground just to prove to everyone else that she has not had a totally bummer summer.
As the carrot-haired heroine Beatty is loud, charming and just as annoyingly excitable as girls her age so often are.
Everything is thrill-idelic and super-awesome, presented in bright, shiny colours and spoken AS IF IN CAPITAL LETTERS!
For adults, the whole thing is a tad headache-inducing, and they may have to spend their time lamenting the Stepford Wives-ness of the perfect tree-lined streets and the creepy rigidness of Judy's mother's hair.
But for children, Judy's simple suburban pleasures and unsophisticated emotions and tantrums are something that many of them will relate to.
Especially those with supertastic annoying younger siblings and uber rare summer plans.

"As long as you are doing something they can make it to where you get points"
That's the problem. What if you are NOT doing something that can be tracked? There's a variety of options, usually defending ones. Defending a node in Arathi Basin that isn't being attacked. The flag carrier in WSG at moments when he's left alone. Moments when you are doing what it takes to win, to be a team player, but aren't doing something trackable.
How are the points awarded anyway? I assume you're not thinking of some sort of constant ticker that awards points throughout the BG. So then it's a total point award at the end of the BG as it is now. Or separate awards through the BG for achieving certain objectives (like capping a flag). Again, how do you "rate" each player? If one player does one million damage and another only does one thousand, do they get the same points? You see the problem if they don't, right? If the person who does more damage gets more points, then the only "right" way to play the BG becomes to ignore defense, fight at the front lines and snipe HKs.
I guess what I'm asking is this: How would you award points differently in Rated BGs than in normal BGs? How do you rate an individual's contribution so that each player is properly awarded in accordance with their contribution? I clearly didn't understand your idea well enough.
Also, what is your ideal "casual RBG" playstyle? Since you say it's completely different from solo BGs. Your only queue options are 5-man or 10-man. Anything else requires solo-queue option.

Mary: A Model of Strength for Mothers
- Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Thankfully, Quinn's surgery was successful, her tumor benign, and God's answer to our prayers was clear: we started a foundation to support research of pediatric brain tumors.
A mother's life is filled with challenges, some small and some, like Quinn's diagnosis, almost insurmountable. The days are filled with laughter and crying - sometimes at the same time. It is our challenge, and our gift, to let our callings as mothers touch our souls.
This Christmas Eve, in the silence of the night, I'll again thank God for my abundant blessings: the health of my children, the love of my husband, family and many friends. And when the light is shining on the manger, I'll thank Mary for showing me, through her own Christmas love story, the depth and strength of a mother's love.
