Jeff in New Mexico
I purchased a pair of the Crossifre 2's last year after drinking the KoolAid.. To date, I've had to replace 3 soles and I'm only a weekend desert rider. The soles wear entirely too fast and begin to chew into the soles harder plastic foundation after only a few rides (especially at the arch of the foot). The boots (I have black) fit tight and get entirely too hot in the summer---My foot feels like a baking potato while riding. Perhaps its because lack of ventilation, and my foot size (12 boot) but I've never had a problem with competing boots. Additionally, the soles are very slippery and don't get good traction if you're in a situation when you have to walk your bike on a steep trail. Overall, I'm very disappointed. Sidi has refused to help and I've resorted to using my old reliable boots. I won't name who's are better because I will let you be the judge. I just wanted to write a real life review.

Perfect replacement and easy to change. It's great to just be able to replace the soles of the boots.

These are the best fitting boots hands down. If you have a narrow heel they're better than the SG-12s. Lighter too. The outers (leather part) have taken more of a beating than I expected. The soles are bulletproof and show very little wear after over a year. All in all the best boot you can buy...you pay for it but DO get what you pay for...quality.

LANSING, MI -- A bill that will crack down on people trying to bring out-of-state cans and bottles into Michigan to collect the state's 10-cent deposit is on its way to the full House.
The House Regulatory Reform Committee passed the legislation Tuesday.
The bill would make an attempt to return between 100 and 10,000 non-returnable containers subject to fine up to $1,000 or 93 days in jail, or both.
Current law sets penalties only for those who actually return cans and bottles from out of state.
The Wine Wholesalers Association estimates that the state loses up to $13 million each year from bogus returns.

Thirty-five students from rural and regional New South Wales are heading to the University of Newcastle this week to give health careers the once over.
The students will visit the University on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 July as part of Rural High Schools Health Career Week.
Travelling from as far afield as Tamworth, Broken Hill, Lismore, Orange and Dubbo, the Year 10 and 11 students have shown interest in pursuing a career in the medical and health science fields.
The week exposes students to city and university life, and while in Newcastle the students will hear about the University's degrees and take a tour of the John Hunter Hospital.
The Rural High Schools Health Career Week is a joint initiative between the University of Newcastle, the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney.

As most of us know, when we exercise, resting the body, or "recovery phase," is essential when working out or performing at high-levels. Most of us, myself included at times, do not allow proper recovery time for our bodies.
Are you training too much and not allowing your body the adequate amount of time it needs to recover? The time you give your body to recover from strenuous activities is just as important or, as in many cases, more important than the act of exercising itself.
The body repairs itself and strengthens itself between workouts. Without the proper amount of recovery you may become susceptible to injury, weakness, strains and energy depletion. It's crucial that a scheduled time to recover is part of every workout program.
Do not feel guilty or weak about giving your body time to repair. Once you've experienced adequate recovery time you can jump back into an exercise program. Your body and mind will be thankful that you did. The length of time to recover will be determined by the level of energy spent during each workout.
What to look for while recovering:
1. Adaptation to the stress levels of exercise program and continued progress
2. Restoring of depleted energy levels
3. Tissue repair after being broken down during exercise
4. Mental status improvement
Listen to your body. If you're always tired, in pain (achy), can't sleep or feel dehydrated, then chances are your body is telling you to rest. It's time to recover from the stress you've been putting your body through.
It may be difficult to implement a recovery time at first, but monitor your progress over the past few months, implement a recovery phase for your body to rest and continue to monitor your progress. I bet your progress will be exponentially greater.
Take care of your body; it's your temple.

Georgetown College is once again playing host to the prestigious ITA Regional Tennis Tournament and despite a brief break for rain, Thursday was action packed with matches going all day.
For the Tigers, seven players are still in action – one guy and six women.
Every women's doubles team advanced to the Round of 16 to start 8 am Friday morning, while two singles also advanced to face each other when that portion of the tournament restarts at 11 am.
Georgetown will be buzzing with tennis action the next several days as the exciting ITA Regional Tournament returns. Georgetown College serves as the host site once again and will be using both the Lackey Tennis Center and the Scott County High School courts.
Thursday the men's draw will be played at East Campus, while the women are at the high school. Action starts promptly at 8 am with doubles and around noon for singles. Roughly 60 men's and 45 women's matches are needed to be played on opening day.
In the men's draw, the returning singles champion from Lindsey Wilson will be back to defend his title as well as the women's champion from University of the Cumberlands.
Georgetown College tennis will be hosting a ball kid clinic as part of its preparation for participation at the Fifth Third Bank Tennis Tournament July 21-26 at Hilary J. Boone Tennis Facility on the University of Kentucky campus. The clinic will be 8 pm Wednesday, July 17 at Georgetown College and Georgetown Tennis Association is also helping with this event.
"This past year we did the serving cage at the tournament, which we will be doing again," said Tiger coach Jessica Cunningham. "But it is exciting to add this clinic as well to hopefully get some of the younger kids involved in working with the tournament as ball kids and being exposed to that type of caliber tennis. We will teach them the proper places to kneel and stand and the protocol for helping the matches move smoothly."
Georgetown College's Chris Bartlett and Haley Hart earned the Mid-South Conference Champion of Character awards for men's and women's tennis respectively Thursday night during the league's banquet. Hart was also honored as first-team all-conference, while Jacqueline Otis and Kelly Swanson earned honorable mention. Gustavo Echeverria earned All-MSC honorable mention for the men. Hart, Natalie Hill, Emily Krick and Shelby Eden were named to the women's All-Academic team; while Bartlett and Ryne Least were recognized on the men's side.
Outdoor sports have to deal with weather conditions, adjusting at times to the wind. Friday, on Senior Day, Georgetown College's men's and women's tennis dealt with some fierce wind and almost knocked off visiting Campbellsville University.
The women trailed early, 2-1, after doubles, but once again found themselves in the heat of a match with a top 25 team. Jacqueline Otis' win in the singles made it interesting, but the Tigers eventually fell 5-4 in the team competition. Georgetown's three Mid-South Conference losses are all to teams in the coaches' poll and two of them come at a 5-4 score.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Getting help with financial aid is a cinch with the staff at CSM. They guide you through the process and help you get the most out of your educational experience!
Food and Dining The new college center at CSM is fantastic! The views are incredible and they have a wide variety of great foods and drinks!
Academic Rigor I thoroughly love going back to school! It is a great adventure and I am going at it with gusto!
Tips for prospective students Never give up!
In three sentences College of San Mateo is one of the greatest campuses on the Peninsula. As a returning student after being laid off three years ago, going back to school has given me new purpose and direction in my life. I would recommend going to this college for anyone searching in their life as it is a great place to start!

Categories Comments What to do for fun most people drive off campus, or maybe take the bus to hillsdale shopping center for fun. on campus, there are several clubs whose meetings you can attend, or simply hang out with friends in the college center which has a floor for seating.
Food and Dining the college center has all of the basics, from a coffee shop with the pastries, and a grill which has its specials, to a deli with home-made sandwiches.
Dorm Life there aren't dorms at csm, so no comment.
Academic Rigor the teachers are well-versed and direct with what they expect out of you. homework isn't too challenging. midterms and finals are usually an essay, or a (sometimes take-home) project.
Tips for prospective students as long as you show up for your classes and pay attention, life won't be too hard for you.
In three sentences csm is the best of a community college and a commuter school. people go here to take classes, which are $36 a unit, and often have part-time jobs they drive to after class. campus has a couple things to offer, like the college center, which has food and wifi access.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students at other campuses who can't get classes at the other college & need to transfer classes and People of the community who want to learn more, at their own pace.
Bang for the buck It's great education for community college pricing!
Food and Dining I haven't eaten on campus due to the fact that most of my classes are in the evening here, and the food choices nearby aren't that great.... You'd have your run-of-the-mill McDonalds and similar you-can-find-everywhere food joints.
Academic Rigor People I've been surrounded by mostly know their stuff, or work to be up to par with the professor's standards. Personally, I love it! I can strive to achieve while making friends and (if I need it) getting help without feeling bad.
Tips for prospective students Have fun with your classes! Don't be afraid to ask your professors or peers for help/advice. We don't bite!
In three sentences CSM is a clean and refreshing campus to be on. The professors there are amazing (at least the ones I've had) and work with you for whatever needs you might need. It's a community college in the San Mateo County College District (SMCCD) so if you take classes at Cañada College or Skyline College too, all of your classes will be bundled into one transcript... How convenient!

Food and Dining Great little cafe with amazing chai tea lattes :)
Academic Rigor Honestly, I am yet to take any general ed classes or attend full time at this campus so, I feel I couldn't possibly rate this section accurately.
Tips for prospective students My tips would be to use all the wonderful resources this college provides, get to know the campus before classes start and enjoy the view.
In three sentences The College of San Mateo is a great college to attend. I am yet to have a bad experience at this campus; my classes, professors, counselors and peers have all been positive for me. I highly recommend this school to students who are either looking to get a degree, certificate or transfer to a four year.

Food and Dining I haven't eaten here yet but if it is like the care in the campus, I will be looking forward to try.
Academic Rigor Listen to the Orientation, balance when starting is important. Don't get too much all at once. Consider, Work and credit load, leave time for the normal health and hygiene, exercise and rest.
Tips for prospective students Register Early! Try the FASFA, You may get the financial assistance you need!
In three sentences College of San Mateo is friendly, organized, Online communication, phone and in person is so convenient. The Campus is so beautiful on hills, with trees, and the perfect environment for study. Going from one class to the next is pleasant and organized, easy to find.

In three sentences I think that CSM is really helpful in having so many labs and students centers. It helps when there are a lot of teachers and tutors who are willing to help you through whatever you need. I really like the way the teachers teach at this school, as well as the class sizes.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities I didn't join any
Food and Dining There's a cute little cafe kiosk near one of the buildings where I used to have a keyboarding class. I bought some cookies there for my early morning classes, and I would totally give them 4 stars. Not 5 only because they charge you for water. Or they did, I haven't been there in a while.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor It's pretty good. Some of the teachers are a little hard to understand, but other than that everything is good. Most of the teachers are very understanding if you're running a little late, especially at the beginning of the year.
Tips for prospective students Mae sure you bring a map. It's pretty easy to get confused about which building is which. It's kind of hard to see the numbers on the buildings as well. And also make sure you wear water-resistant shoes of some kind... It's not fun slipping on the tile floors after it rains... Trust me.
In three sentences It's a great school for students that are just starting out. It's kind of like a beginner school to get you past all your general education and stuff.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is always a security guard on hand roaming throughout the campus at all times on a scooter. He can help you to your car or just give you directions. The security guard is there to keep the peace though the campus is always quiet, calm and serene.
Food and Dining The cafeteria has recently been remodeled to accommodate a larger population of students and has been built to overlook the beautiful bay area/the city of San Mateo. The food service, flavor, price and variety is excellent. One could order a sandwich, pasta, burger, fries or pizza with every sauce, topping, flavor needed. The food is cooked right in front of you with clean cooking tops and utensils. The cafeteria also contains a small store with every type of small item snack you could find at a gas station for the same low prices and there is a coffee shop right next to it where you can order a Starbucks coffee throughout the day.
Academic Rigor The difficulty of the classes are surely to enhance your learning, writing and reading schools but most importantly prepare you for transfering to a university or state college. Not all classes are of equal difficulty, however you will find your knowledge and time management abilities to be challenged from the beginning, adding a healthy amount of stress to your day.
Tips for prospective students Learn as much as you can about your plans while it is still early in your college career at CSM. They will do their best to help you find your way and plan ahead, but they need your help to know your ideas, thoughts, questions and concerns.
In three sentences The College of San Mateo is a wonderful place of education with a hugely supportive faculty. The College of San Mateo thrives on its ability to provide for it's students in every way they can such as a student's future plans, current education and financial aid. The student life is active as well, with a diverse choice of clubs, groups and activities to attend, join and enjoy.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck It is a very wise decision to attend a junior college and transfer to a university. The class sizes are smaller, it is a lot cheaper, and it is a smaller transition than leaving home on your own.
What to do for fun I highly suggest joining a sports team if you are athletic. If not, there are lots of clubs and the football team is pretty good. Maybe go to a game?
Food and Dining Most of the food is sold in the college center, building 10. The hot food is good, when available.
Academic Rigor Some courses are more difficult than others, but all of the teachers I have had are very clear that they are willing to help you if you feel lost.
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of the learning center, library, and various labs for each subject.
In three sentences The college campus is newly renovated, but there are still some buildings under construction. The teachers and staff are very helpful. It is a wise choice to attend if you are panning on transferring to a four year university.

Greek Life There is a limited amount of Greek life.
Bang for the buck Show your teachers you're interested in the class and always ask for help when you need it.
What to do for fun Since the campus is up on a hill, running is an option and there's always a friendly crowd in the dining room.
Food and Dining The dining area is very comfortable and the food is great! There's even a Starbucks right on campus.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor Depending on the classes you take and the teachers you have, academically it's not as rigorous as other schools.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to set up your classes based on your schedule and if you are a full time student try to spread out your classes; don't take four classes back to back in one day.
In three sentences The College of San Mateo had a great environment to learn in. The teachers were willing to help students who needed the extra help. The campus is clean and provides a safe environment.

Food and Dining A newly renovated cafe with a salad bar, brick oven for pizza, and hot meals. There is also a convenience store as well as a Bulldog Coffee Shop.
Dorm Life No dorms on campus.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is what you make of it; the harder you study, the more you will get out of the classes.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to take advantage of the counselors who are willing to help align your classes for transferring or earning a degree. Professors are very welcoming and accommodating for office hours as well.
In three sentences The College of San Mateo is a beautiful campus, filled with knowledgeable professors and abundant resources. The curriculum at CSM helps prepare students for a much easier transition to a four year university. The certificate programs are terrific as well.

Bang for the buck I feel like I am getting more than my money's worth.
What to do for fun The campus is lovely, and I often show up early to take a walk before class.
Food and Dining There is a lot of healthy, fresh food available.
Dorm Life I have my own home.
Academic Rigor The classes I have taken so far have all been challenging.
Tips for prospective students Contact the professors you know you will have for the upcoming semester at least a month before the semester starts. Ask them what books you will need. Order the books online well in advance. If you don't do this, the professors won't let you know until the week classes start what books you will need, and you will be forced to pay the high prices at the college book store.
In three sentences My experience so far has been so supportive and inspirational. The faculty and the other students pursuing my degree have all been just wonderful.

I stay here every week for business. The reason I keep coming back is the service. Some guys were being extremely loud in the hallway. The desk clerk called up to my room to see how everything was going. I mentioned the loud noise and he took care of it immediately. They are also wonderful to my dog, who goes everywhere I go.

"Needed a few day's of peace and quiet."
My sister and I just needed to get away for a few days. The hotel was beautiful inside and out.The staff was very friendly and efficient. We stayed a week and it was so peaceful and quite It started to get a little hectic close to the weekend, but still it was quite from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. The free breakfast was very good.We never actually made it […] to the pool area, but we peeked in and it was beautiful.We were leaving to go out for a bit around noon the third day and we hadn't had maid service yet so we called the desk to see if it was too late. We were told they were close to being done, but they would try to catch them. When we returned we had fresh linens and towels and the room had been cleaned. The day we checked out we got all the way to my sisters house when she realized she had left her phone charger plugged in the room. We called and they sent a maid up to the room and it was waiting for us when we got back. The only two problems we had were: 1: they had a room service menu in the room and there is no room service available at the Garland, Tx hotel. 2: They had a booklet that was supposed to help with service and getting food delivered to your room, and most of the places they listed don't deliver period. That was the only problems and they were no biggies. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

Upon arrival in my room, I turned on the light/fan in the bathroom and found it to be very squeeky.... I went back to the front desk and they gave me a different room. No problem there. One strange thing in this room is that they have a "Master Power Switch" which is just another light switch located by the entry/exit door but is not marked as such […] - and it is located right next to the main light switch for the room. This can by annoying especially if you set the time on your alarm clock, leave the room, turn the switch off, come back to the room, turn the switch back on and guess what - you get to reset the time on the alarm clock again. They should at least mark these switches so you don't accidently turn off the wrong one.... Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

TWD: Floating Islands
This week's TWD was chosen by Shari of Whisk: a food blog: floating islands! This is a French dessert which consists of soft poached meringue puffs floating in a smooth creme anglaise. I've never heard of this dessert and, to be completely honest, I probably would not have tried it if not for TWD. What can I say....I'm just not adventurous with my desserts :)
I started off making the creme anglaise for the dessert as Dorie says it's better if it sits overnight in the fridge. Creme anglaise is a custard and I didn't have any problem making it as it is also a base for ice cream and I've made plenty of ice cream since buying my ice cream maker this summer. The next day I worked on the meringues (the islands!). I'm always amazed at what can be made with just egg whites and sugar! These were easy too though I definitely didn't have any luck getting my islands to look as pretty as Dorie's. I ended up deciding to use my ice cream scoop to shape them. Finally, Dorie recommends caramelized sugar strands as a decoration for the dessert. Though my last attempt at making caramel was not successful, I decided to try it again. And I failed. I don't know what happened but I didn't have the desire to try again so I topped my floating islands with some chocolate sauce we had in the fridge.
My instinct that I probably wouldn't enjoy these was right on. I'm not a huge fan of meringue and I also discovered that I don't love creme anglaise either. That said, I still want to thank Shari for her pick! I'm happy to say I tried these even if they weren't my favorite dessert. You can find the recipe on Shari's blog and you can see all of the other floating islands over at TWD.

THE MAROON VOL. 79, NO. 18 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2002 | MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Nagin a no-show for debate Pennington fields questions alone while opponent attends Jefferson fund-raiser By Curie Veronica Jones Staff writer Ray Nagin did not show up for a scheduled debate with Richard Pennington at Loyola Wednesday. The Black Law Student Association was supposed to hold a mayoral debate between candidates Ray Nagin and Richard Pennington at Loyola Law School on February 27. Nagin never arrived, but Pennington participated in a questionand-answer session, discussing his record and issues such as education and the economy. A few minutes after the debate was supposed to begin, organizers announced that Nagin would not attend. Disappointed sighs were heard from the audience after the announcement. "We did not know until ten minutes before the debate and until a representative from his campaign told us,." said Tanzanika Ruffin, corresponding secretary for the Black Law Student Association. Bill Quigley, director of the law clinic, said he thought they knew 90 minutes ahead of time that Nagin was not coming. "I guess they were hoping against hope (that he would attend)," Quigley said. About an hour before the event, Ruffin told The Maroon that both candidates had committed to participating, and she was sure one of them was coming. Nagin's camp said he had prior engagements. "All I can do is apologize," said Jim Carvin, Nagin's campaign manager. "He had a fundraiser in Jefferson Parish tonight." Carvin also said Nagin had believed that the debate had been called off. According to another source, Nagin also missed out on a fund-raising breakfast that morning, where he was supposed to receive $1,700 dollars. Although STAFF PHOTO BY DANIELLE PALMATIER Mayoral hopeful Richard Pennington fields questions at the Law School on Wednesday afternoon. The Black Law Student Association invited mayoral candidates Pennington and Ray Nagin for a debate, but Nagin did not attend. New program aims to bring unity to campus Week-long celebration to focus on bringing Loyola together By Joe Kutner Staff writer Waking up at the crack of dawn may not be necessary to get a Zulu coconut. On Monday, the University Programming Board will begin Unity Week, and one of the events has a Zulu coconut as the grand prize. The UPB hopes to bring the Loyola community closer together through the Unity Week celebration with five days of events sponsored by different Loyola organizations. "We want to create a better understanding between organizations on campus," said Maria Landrum, English writing senior, UPB vice president and Unity Week coordinator. The booths , which will be set-up on Monday and Friday, will accomplish this, Landrum said. "|The booths] will give organizations a chance to talk about why they are here," she said. One of the week's highlights will be the scavenger hunt on Tuesday, Landrum said. The hunt will not be for physical items; it will be a hunt for knowledge. "We asked some organizations to submit thought-provoking questions," Landrum said. "They aren't the kind of question that you can go look up the answer on the Internet. (The contestants) will need to talk to different student organizations." With help from the Krewe of Zulu and Doug Howard of the Loyola Bookstore, the UPB was able to obtain one of the few Zulu coconuts and will give it away to the winner of the hunt. Landrum said the idea for the program was developed last semester. "(We) wrote out the organizations at Loyola... |and| drew lines between ones that could work together," Landrum said. "It's a really amazing concept." Landrum said that in addition to the events, each day of Unity Week will have a theme based on one of Poor reaction to theft alleged By Curie Veronica Jones Staff writer Some victims of the thief who slipped into the New Residence Hall last week say that they are unsatisfied with the manner in which University Police handled the situation and that they are worried the man may strike again. The man stole from several rooms on different floors, taking such items as wallets and keys, before a student grew suspicious and chased him out of the building. Several students fear that the robber was able get into their rooms because he had copies of keys. "There wasn't enough time for him to pick the locks of all our rooms," said Sarah Turner, psychology junior. "He also ran into the technical data room, and they are always locked. Right now we are comfortable because they changed our locks, but 1 feel that everybody else in the dorm is in danger because they didn't get their locks changed." Roger Pinac, captain of University Police, said he doesn't think the intruder had keys. 'There's nothing to indicate their rooms were locked ... and all the |master| keys were accounted for," Pinac said. Victims said they believe otherwise. "We can tell you for a fact that our door was locked. We are 100 percent sure," Turner said. According to a BOLO report issued on Feb. 22 by University Police, a man was able to gain access to the New Residence Hall at approximately 7:20 a.m. on Feb. 20. He is described as black, approximately six feet tall with a medium build. He is estimated to be 21 to 27 years of age, and he was wearing a baseball cap, a plaid polo-shirt and dark-colored pants. He had on a dark backpack. Police say a student let him into the building. Police investigations indicate that the suspect may have previously attempted access to other buildings on campus as well. "We are unhappy with the way University Police treated what we said," said an victim who wished to remain anonymous. "The investigation is not going to come of much. They are not listening and are unwilling to look for other things." Knoth begins applying Ex Corde By Philip Braun Staff writer The Rev. Bernard Knoth, S.J., university president, has begun to incorporate Ex Corde Ecclesiae into Loyola's academic policy by sending certain faculty members packets explaining how to apply for approval from the Archdiocese to teach Catholic theology at Loyola, said Kenneth Keulman, chair of religious studies. The acknowledgement is called a mandatum. The Loyola faculty members who will need a mandatum are those Catholic professors in the department of religious studies or who are part of the Loyola Institute for Ministry and teach Catholic theological disciplines. Earlier, Knoth said that he had refused to cooperate with the archbishop when he was asked to provide a list of Catholic faculty members and instead referred him to "public" information about the professors posted on the Loyola Web site. However, according to the Rev. Terry Tekippe, Archbishop Alfred Hughes said he never asked for such a list.

U.S. avoids calling Egypt's uprising a coup
White House looks how to map relations
While America's top military officials continue in-depth discussions with their counterparts in Egypt, the Obama administration is looking how to map America's relations with the crucial Middle East ally.
Top officials huddled at the White House again on Monday to discuss the issue.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel once again talked with Gen. Abdel Fattah al Sisi, Egypt's defense minister.
It's at least the fourth time Hagel has spoken to Sisi in the past week, both before and after his military deposed Egypt's first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsy, and put him under house arrest.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said the conversations "have been lengthy and very candid."
A defense official, who requested anonymity, says some of the calls "have lasted nearly two hours."
Meanwhile, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey has also had two calls with the chief of staff of Egypt's armed forces, Lt. Gen. Sedki Sobhi.
The importance of the U.S.-Egyptian relationship, which has been developing since the Carter-era Camp David Peace Accords, is evidenced by how carefully government officials are avoiding labeling the past week's developments a "military coup."
If Morsy's removal were to be called a coup, under U.S. law, more than $1 billion in military aid to Egypt would have to be slashed.
Israel is concerned that such a cut could jeopardize the peace treaty between the two countries
Israel and Egypt are the two biggest recipients of American military aid.
The determination of whether a coup took place is generally made by the State Department's Legal Advisor Office.
But State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki described it as an interagency process on Monday.
Psaki also said that the fact tens of millions of Egyptians supported the move and did not consider this a coup would be factored into the deliberations.
Senior U.S. officials say the administration is examining three potential options - calling events in Egypt a coup and cutting off aid; calling it a coup and issuing a national security waiver; or not determining it a coup, recognizing that the military has taken steps to move the country toward a civilian transitional government and move toward elections.
White House spokesman Jay Carney suggested what happens next will be very important.
"Our relationship with Egypt is not limited to or defined solely by the assistance that we provide to Egypt. It is broader and deeper than that, and it is bound up in America's support for the aspirations of the Egyptian people for democracy, for a better economic and political future, and we support that," Carney said.
"So our decisions with regards to the events that have happened recently in Egypt will be -- and how we label them and analyze them will be made with our policy objectives in mind, in accordance with the law and in accordance with any consultation with Congress," he said.

Libertarian Calories
Posted by Brian Moore under healthcare, history, libertarian, science
No Comments
It's always good to have a story, especially one that upholds your political beliefs. So, imagine my reaction upon reading Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. I don't know if Taubes himself has any leanings in the direction, but his book is the most compelling libertarian story of the past 50 years.
There are some basic principles of the libertarian critique of governmental policies designed to solve Pressing Problems. These are, that those government policies often:
- mis-diagnose the problem
- makes decisions based on political realities instead of scientific ones
- crowds out competing (and potentially more accurate theories or solutions) either directly, by criticizing them, or indirectly, by denying them funding
- end up making the problem worse, or exacerbating a different problem via unexpected side effects
- cause a legion of special interest groups of corporations to arise to take advantage of (as well as reinforce, through their own interest) the government's potentially wrong decision
If you're not particularly disposed to these ideas already, this all sounds like wishful thinking about government incompetence. Yet this is exactly the story presented by Taubes as the history of the fat vs. carb nutrition debate in the US over the past 50 years.
To sum up, without all the science (read the book, it has all the data you need), the story goes like this: about 50 years ago, a few prominent scientists, particularly Ancel Keys, decided, based on incomplete evidence, that fat was the cause of heart disease, and that carbohydrates were a good replacement for it in our diets. Unfortunately, not only was the decision premature, it also was wrong, and here's the most important part: it was wrong even based upon the evidence they had at the time — they simply ignored or dismissed it. This isn't a case of science improving and rendering an old government policy wrong, this is government policy making the wrong choice despite the evidence.
The anti-fat movement (led by Keys) then convinced the government and the media of the correctness of their case, which was then enshrined as policy by a government panel: fat bad, carbs good. This is partly why the food pyramid's base, the largest section, was all carbohydrate-rich breads and pasta. The low-carbohydrate movement (the opposition of the anti-fat movement), despite having an increasing body of evidence that stated that fat was not bad, and carbs were not good (each subsequent study failed to prove the anti-fat hypothesis), were pushed aside, labeled as cranks or corporate stooges of the companies that produced high-fat food. Billions of dollars of NIH funding flowed into anti-fat research, food manufacturers touted the heart-friendly effects of their products, and groups like the CSPI arose to plug anti-fat agendas. Government policy and millions in advertising now set, Americans duly changed their diets to become more "healthy" — ushering in a wave of all the "diseases of civilization" that low-carb advocates predicted: diabetes, obesity and various forms of cancer.
Then, once the obesity epidemic (if not directly caused by the high-carb policy, certainly exacerbated by it) became the new threat, established policy and scientists blamed it on fat as well.
You probably could not invent a story that fit the libertarian critique so well. Confirmation bias alarm bells went off the entire time I was reading; but the Taubes book is exhaustively researched and annotated — not just with the data (often based on studies that examined the results of low-tech societies, which ate mainly meat and other high fat diets, transitioning to the higher-carb diet of Western societies, and their subsequent explosion of diabetes and obesity — and cancer) but with the specific charges leveled at each by the anti-fat movement in an effort to erroneously discredit them. Some people will write a book based on the results of a single paper, and present its conclusion as definitive proof. This book presents the results of hundreds of papers and studies, all of which disprove the anti-fat hypothesis or support the low-carb one — every one dismissed and ignored. It is also a devastating critique of academia, which, once a theory was established as the conventional wisdom, had no interest in examining data that might undermine it.
To recap: the government picked some bad science and enacted incorrect policies based on it, which damaged the health of millions of Americans, costing us billions of dollars in healthcare bills, millions of lives (here I merely repeat the government's claims about the damage of the "obesity epidemic") and did little to actually prevent the problem for which it was designed. They suppressed, ignored and slandered those who disagreed, who had the data on their side both at the time, and today. Then, when the damage reports came rolling in from their actions, promptly demanded that they were the only people capable of fixing this problem, and confidently prescribed the exact same medicine which had caused the problem in the first place: the low fat, high carb diet*.
How is this not the centerpiece of the libertarian argument for a less-activist government?
* – to be fair, they also advocated good things, such as an increase in exercise, and a decrease in the consumption of sugars and soda. The latter again points out the crazy logic of advocating high carb diets: those carbs roughly translate into the same end result in your body as the sugar.

This Week in Blue Hen Athletics History
Presented by Courtyard By Marriott at the University of Delaware
University of Delaware Athletics takes a weekly look back at some of the more memorable dates in Blue Hen history.
December 9, 1998
The University of Delaware men's and women's swimming and diving team swept Lafayette in non-league meet at Rawstrom Natatorium.
The Delaware men won seven events on the way to a 137-105 victory, snapping a four-meet losing streak. The Blue Hen women won 10 of the 13 events to post a 158-77 win over the Leopards. The teams faced each other for the first time since the 1989-90 season.
Junior Brian Aston and senior Ryan Fauth each won two events to pace the Delaware men. Aston won the one-meter (247.65) and three-meter (265.12) diving events while Fauth captured the 200 freestyle (1:46.81) and 200 backstroke (1:58.83).
In the women's meet, Amanda Stouffer won three events and Tanya Mainville, Kathryn Fryer, Christine Johannsen, and Jennifer Haus each won two events to lead Delaware.
Stouffer won the 400 medley relay, 50 freestyle (25.45), and 100 freestyle (55.78), Mainville won the three-meter (227.85) and one-meter (229.42), Fryer won the 400 medley relay and 200 butterfly (2:17.76), Haus won the 400 freestyle relay and 200 freestyle (1:58.83) and Johannsen won the 400 medley relay and 200 backstroke (2:13.94).

There is no telling how many photos like the prompt have been taken of Pokey Smokey.

Sepia Saturday Part 2: Pokey Smokey
There is no telling how many photos like the prompt have been taken of Pokey Smokey.
15 comments:
Love the Pokey Smokey. What a great name. I am addicted to genealogy too. Do you have Family Tree Maker? It is worth the money.
QMMWe like riding on trains. We like watching others riding on trains. I don't think it can be explained.
I took a ride on an old train that runs from Carson City, Nevada to Virginia City. There were people stopped along the way to take photos of the train passing. And on our return trip there were people at the freeway excited to watch the train cross the bridge. We all waved at each other.Thank you! for the second video! I was there in 1964 at Portsmouth City Park in Portsmouth VA; I was 8 years old. My dad worked for the Norfolk & Western RR as an engineer so he thought this would be a real eye opener for his 2 daughters. A ride cost 25cents and he allowed us one ride. The steam and cinders would be all over us at the end, but we didn't care! The 2nd train isn't half as much fun! But thank you so much for the memory!

Due to my A123 pack 15s6p I replaced the zener with a 56V/1W one and changed the capacitors like Disadvantage did. I also changed R5 (2k7) with 2k2 resistor.
R4 (2K) I did not change.
I have got it to output to 50,2 - 61,3 volts, but after plugging into 230V no battery connected the voltage shows about 5 seconds the max. voltage (56V) and then the voltage decreases quickly to 0V
Perhaps has Disadvantage an idea why this happens.
ciao, manfred59
You are connecting 15 a123 cells in series. a123 cells are charged to 3.65V per cell, so your battery pack should be charged to 15 * 3.65V = 54.75V. IMO 55V is close enough.
I'll assume you know what you are doing, and set the 110V/220V switch to 220V before plugging into your 230V mains. The reason I say this is because I am a bit confused by your saying "I have got it to output to 50,2 - 61,3 volts, but after plugging into 230V..." Did you plug into 110V with the switch at 110V for a first-test that worked correctly outputing 50V to 61V, then decided to try 230V without changing the 110/220 switch when it failed? I would imagine Austria uses 240V mains; I wonder where you got 120V for the first test that worked? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.
Anyway, long story short, I really think you need to use a higher-voltage zener diode for ZD1. 55V desired output voltage, set by VR3 and VR1, is very close to the 56V shutdown voltage, set by zener diode ZD1 -- and you are experiencing output shutdown.
Common zener diodes have a 5% tolerance; if we assume your zener is low then 56V * 0.95 = 53.2V which is less than 55V. A 58V or even 60V zener diode would be a better choice, because they provide some range in adjustment. 58V x 0.95 = 55.1V would just barely work, 60V * 0.95 = 57 is a better choice because it give a couple of volts adjustment range.
I'm charging 15 LiMn eMoli cells , which charge to 4.25V, and 15 * 4.25V = 63.75V. I chose a 68V zener for ZD1, 68V * 0.95 = 64.6. My choice is, under worst conditions, close but still above the desired output voltage.
I hope this information helps you get your power supply working. Two months ago I finished the modifications to mine and closed it up. I might go back in though, and change the dropping resistor for the output LED. It seems to glow too bright, and I'm sure it has something to do with increasing the output voltage by 50%.

Mess Matters
Arts, Crafts and Sensory Activities for Kids
Mess Matters activities are all about having FUN and FREEDOM in the process of being creative. There will be many messy activities set up around the room with all sorts of colourful textures for little fingers to feel and explore. The idea behind Mess Matters is for children themselves to choose which activities they would like to do. They may take as much time or as little time as they want on a particular activity or they can repeat the same activity. We provide a fun and exciting environment for children to make choices, exercise their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination whilst building their confidence to experiment with tactile sensors and create wonderful, original artworks.
Our activities include:
Painting, stamping, pasting, sand play, play dough, paper crafts, water play and much more!
Our parties are for children aged 3 - 10. The younger children's parties are run similarly to our weekly sessions, with the children free to roam from activity to activity. The older children's parties are structured and include party games and the creation of two artworks that they can take home.
Age range:
Weekly sessions are mostly suitable for children aged 2-6.
Our parties are suitable for children aged 3 -10.
Sessions run for 45 minutes each on Mondays at 9:30 & 10:30 am.
All materials are included. Smocks are provided for both children and adults.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
We have current working with children checks.

Thank you, your review has been posted.
My son loved the Mess Matters classes, every week there were so many different, fun activities to do. My son is quite timid but he would always want to go along and get involved. The class was very well run, it seemed that a lot of effort had gone in to planning the classes. I wish we could still attend, we stopped going as we moved. I agree with the previous review th (...)

Fantastic! I'm moving out of the area and only wish there were more mess matters classes around Melbourne.

The AIS Faculty Directory, which began as a printed directory more than 20 years ago, currently contains online information about approximately 6,000 IS academics from six different continents. Through this tool, you can search for faculty by name, by institution, or by research areas. To get started, please click here.
If you have any questions about the directory, please contact the AIS Webmaster.
In 1994, under the ISWorld leadership of Blake Ives, AIS members began to seek creative ways to use the new World Wide Web to benefit IS academics. Since the printed faculty directory was so useful to members of the information systems community, it was natural to transfer this content and information to an online platform. A Directory Advisory Board met at ICIS in 1994 to discuss the future online coordination of print, regional, and specialty factory directories. Through the generous support of McGraw-Hill, the University of Minnesota (who oversaw the directory until 2008), and countless faculty members, the online directory launched on June 1, 1995.
The AIS Faculty Directory has since had a significant impact on the development of the information systems profession. While many people were involved in the printed directories, Jan DeGross, in particular, made an invaluable contribution with her dedication, perseverance, and skill in maintaining the database, collecting and managing updates, and producing the finished copy. Furthermore, Gordon Davis and Gary Dickson foresaw the potential that a directory could have in unifying the information systems field, and contributed their own files for the initial data collection of the first printed edition in 1983.
In 2008, the University of Minnesota graciously agreed to donate the Faculty Directory to AIS to merge with the AIS member directory as part of a strategic initiative to integrate the various technology operations. Its provision as part of our professional association has to increased use and value.
