I just finished watching this game
Couple of observations:
Benching Reggie Bush for most of the game was a terrible choice by Philbin.
Brian Hartline had another solid game
Richie Icognito's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty cost us a TD. That dude needs to go.
We're not a playoff team anymore.
Sean Smith only allowed three catches. So what if he dropped two INT's? We all known he's not a turnover machine. Drop INT's are better than getting torch week in and week out(Jimmy Wilson, Richard Marshall(before his injury)).
ArmandoSalgueroWeeeeeDolphins today are averaging a point less per game and allowing a point more per game than they did during the 2011 season. #muchworktodo
I'm not saying Tannehill isn't the future but he was by far our worst player. Bush puts us in a hole and then Tanny throws three picks, two on 3rd and 1s. Not picking up short yardage will make things difficult, turning the ball over in short yardage is a disaster. Didn't do anything offensively and a lot of that had to do with the qb play.

As much as I wanted to fight it, we are just an overachieving team this year. We're showing that we have a great structure for a team. But sadly we don't have enough playmakers yet. Other defenses are starting to figure out that no one will run behind them and that no one's going to break runs anymore.
The rebuild isn't over.
mfw the Miami Dolphins
trading up for a corner doesnt make sense
It's a learning process. This obviously was Phins worst loss, but they have been competitive in every game prior. I like to see how this team responds after this defeat.
The summer of Mallett started in 2010 at Rooster's in Ft Smith with RM judging a Hooter's bikini contest. I understand he got inebriated and a little handsy with some of the girls. He was asked to leave. He was later heard exclaiming outside " Who gonna give Ryan Mallett a ride home".
"Who wanna give Ryan Mallett a scantron?"

To everyone who wants Smith gone and or makes fun of him. Who are you going to replace him with?
Wilson is already playing horrid as the #3 CB and Carroll has been up and down. Smith isn't Revis or a shut down CB but he is damn solid.

Characterization of Powders and Granular Materials
The conveying and handling characteristics of a solid material are characterised by such factors as:
- chemical-physical properties;
- rheological properties;
- time.
All bulk solid materials have spaces between the particles, filled with air. The percentage volume relative to the total volume not occupied by particles, the fractional free volume, is known as voidage fraction e . The percentage volume actually occupied by the solid is (1- e ).
The value of this parameter varies greatly from one material to another, and largely depends on the shape of the particles. For spheres of uniform diameter e = 0.48.
This is generally indicated by the symbol r ; the density is defined as the ratio of the product mass and the volume it occupies. Bulk and vibrated density are only two values of a range that varies as a function of consolidating pressure.
The methods for expressing the dimensions of the particles depend on the measuring device employed; the most common one uses standard screens. The data obtained from the granulometric analysis are usually presented as integral distribution curve - in X-co-ordinate the diameter of the particles and in ordinate the material¿s percentage in weight. From the integral distribution curve it is possible to obtain the percentile P50, the value assumed as the average diameter of the solid concerned.
SHAPE of the particles: the shape factor most widely adopted for classifying particles is known as the sphericity factor y ; for spherical particles y =1.
Flowability is the more or less distinct tendency of solid particles constituting the material to flow:
- with respect to one another, evaluated in terms of internal friction angle;
- with respect to a surface, evaluated in terms of wall friction angle.
The internal friction angle indicates the tendency of the material to flow on itself in the presence of a compression force applied perpendicularly to the shearing stress direction; usually, it is evaluated using the Jenike's test, and depends on various factors:
- pressure to which the material is subjected;
- humidity content of the material;
- temperature: the flow of many plastic materials tends to be reduced when heated;
- particles size and shape.
The wall friction angle indicates the tendency of the material to flow along a wall in the presence of compression forces applied perpendicularly to the shearing stress direction; it is evaluated using the Jenike's test and, in addition to the factors described above, it also depends on:
- wall surface, mainly in terms of degree of roughness.
The flowability of a material is also influenced by the time factor: when a material remains stored for a long time in a silo without being subjected to movement, when it is unloaded from the silo it is often much less free-flowing than would be expected.
Cohesion may be defined as the strenght exerted by a bulk solid material against a shearing stress in the absence of compression forces applied perpendicolarly to the shearing stress direction. This resistance is generated by a complex set of mechanisms; important factors that influence the behaviour of the material in this way are:
- humidity content: usually, cohesion increases as humidity increases;
- dimensions and shape of the particles: there is no direct correlation between dimension, shape and cohesion; in spite of this, it has been found in many materials that the smaller the dimensions of the particles, the higher the tendency to cohesion.
- the presence of oil which, depending on the quantity, tends to reduce or to increase the phenomenon of particles' cohesiveness.
The tendency to agglomerate is mainly due to particles interactions caused by electrostatic forces, by van der Waals forces and is strongly affected to the presence of water in the form of humidity, which may even lead to the formation of bridges between the particles.
The abrasiveness of granular materials depends on the shape, dimensions, hardness (measured with the Mohs scale) and specific weight of particles.
Corrosion may be defined as the process through which a metal tends to degrade, passing from the elementary state to the state of oxidized material, caused by environment conditions. The tendency to corrosion of many metals is influenced by the pH of the substance with which it is in contact. Also temperature influences the corrosion process: an increase in temperature increases the speed of the phenomenon.
All substances are electrified to a greater or lesser degree when placed in contact with substances of a different nature; this phenomenon, known as tribo-electricity, is caused by the migration of a certain number of free electrons from one body to another during the contact. The electrified material thus acquires an energy state governed by the laws of static electricity. When the voltage of the electrified material exceeds a certain value, an electrical discharge may occur between the material and the nearest conductor having less electric potential. The discharge gives rise to the dissipation, in the form of heat, of most of the electro-static energy and such heat, released at an extremely high temperature may, in the presence of flammable gaseous mixtures, trigger very dangerous explosions or fires.
This is the tendency of a solid material to chemically or physically absorb on its surface the water vapour present in the air or in gaseous currents.
As regards decomposition, this property depends on the intrinsic biological characteristics of the product. It may be identified as the tendency to form mould, germs and bacteria that give rise to decomposition of the substance. The determining factor is the residence time.
As regards contamination, this property identifies the risk of contamination of the product due to fluids from the handling system's mechanical parts, or from contact with the handling system's surfaces that are not properly protected or finished.
This expression describes the risk of fragmenting and breaking the original granulometry of the material due to the conveyor's mechanical actions (i.e.: slipping). This effect causes an increase of the finest granulometric fractions, which may affect the production processes downstream.
These terms describe the tendency of a solid material in granule or powder form to remain in suspension if struck by a gaseous flow. These properties can be evaluated by experimentally estimating the permeability of the material to the passage of a gaseous stream.
Powderiness is the macroscopic result of Brownian motion, which mainly concerns the material¿s finest fractions, determined by collision of the solid particles with the gas molecules which are in turn subject to disorderly motion of thermal agitation.
A powdered material in dense form, if primed, may give rise to a fire.
If a cloud of powder is primed, an explosion may occur which, unlike a fire, is characterised by a sudden increase in pressure and by the instantaneous formation of intense heat.
The lower limit of flammability is defined as the minimum concentration of powder (g/m³) capable of exploding in air when provided with sufficient priming energy.
Handling materials in a controlled environment or in nitrogen represents a valid solution for reducing the risk of fire or explosion.
In some processes it is necessary to handle products at high temperature; this condition influences both the choice of material of construction and the type of handling system to be adopted.
Another factor which requires considerable attention is the toxicity of the vapour or gas that may be generated by the material; awareness of this characteristic may considerably influence the type of material handling system to be adopted, in order to ensure that the working environment is as safe as possible.
The behaviour of a solid in granular or powder form with reference to the material that contains it may be characterised by several phenomena such as: the stratification of the particles on the walls of the circuit; the formation of a crust resistant to mechanical cleaning to varying extents; and the tendency of some materials to plasticize. These phenomena are subject to studies by the branch of science called rheology.

As prospective students narrow their college lists, campus visits can be effective in determining whether a school is a good fit. While in-person visits may be the most beneficial way to experience college life, there are new technology options that can give students a deeper look at colleges—whether they're on campus or not.
"Technology can enhance the college search process and a visit, but it isn't a replacement for being personal and getting to know the students," Jefferson Blackburn-Smith, vice president for enrollment management at Otterbein University, said via E-mail.
Some schools are integrating technology by providing mobile apps to "either create self-guided campus tours or to enhance the existing tour by making additional information available," Blackburn-Smith added. While Otterbein has not incorporated mobile apps within tours, he noted that the university currently uses social media to connect with students during visits. "We'll always try to balance high tech with high touch."
[Learn more about planning college visits.]
Here are three ways students can use technology during their next in-person or virtual college tour.
1. Use mobile devices to rate an experience: It can be difficult for students visiting multiple schools to differentiate thoughts about one school from the next without taking notes.
"A lot of these things can flush together in terms of what students are experiencing on campus," says Justin Bayer, founder and CEO of Welcome to College, a mobile- and Web-based company focused on organizing the college visit process. "By being able to keep track of thoughts and feelings, you're able to tune into not only what you're learning about, but the things you're really passionate about."
Welcome to College, which provides an Android and Apple app called College Visits, offers students a way to note and organize their impressions using an 11-question tracker during a campus visit. The comments can be kept private for personal use or shared publicly for other students to view on the app's custom-made school profile pages.
Elizabeth Rainwater, director of marketing and communication at Texas Christian University, says students should be vocal about their impressions of campus visits. "We want people to talk about [their visits]," she notes. "We encourage students to check out other schools and find their best match."
[Explore five college visit tips you've never heard before.]
2. Add augmented reality to a college tour: Smartphone or tablet users may have some experience with augmented reality apps, which use the mobile device's camera to overlay information or images on the device's screen. These apps have been used in games as well as in conjunction with GPS data to find restaurants and shops in a certain location.
One company, Realview TV, is building an augmented reality app that will allow students to access information during a campus tour or while roaming campus alone, says George Valentine, the company's president.
"Someone might be looking at a residence hall, but may not be able to get in to see what life is like in [there]," he adds. "So maybe if they click a video that's overlaid on top of that building, they can then see some content that's produced by the university that gives a good sense of what happens in that building."
The app is being beta tested at an Atlanta university, but Valentine says that the mobile technology will give students the chance to learn more about a campus and see more of the university than may have been possible even on a regular campus visit.
"The problem some schools face are the [prospective students] who show up to campus unannounced, and they're just walking around campus trying to figure it out," he notes. "From the school's perspective, they don't know the students are there, and from the student's perspective … wouldn't it be great to have someone there to answer questions? A happy medium is augmented reality."
Valentine says that the company will launch its augmented reality app for schools in early 2013. For students who want to try out augmented reality apps now, options include Localscope and acrossair Augmented Reality Browser, which use the GPS functions of a device to discover new locations.
[See how to get a head start on college visits.]
3. Explore 3-D virtual tours: Schools have long provided virtual tours to reach students unable to make an initial trip to campus.
"Current students have told us that our website and virtual tour were their first points of connection with TCU," acknowledges Rainwater. "If a student doesn't have the capability of visiting campuses that are beyond driving, the virtual tour maybe tips the scale in deciding that [the university] is a place they are interested in."
While prospective students have options for visiting college campuses from home, one company is providing students with a virtual tour that allows them to explore custom built, true-to-scale versions of campuses.
Designing Digitally has partnered with eight schools thus far, including the United States Air Force Academy, notes Andrew Hughes, the company's president, to build tours that allow students to create their own digital avatars and engage with other students. "Kids like to interact and play games," he adds. "They don't just like to look at pictures."
Much like a real video game, students can join a tour led by an actual college admissions professional, and they can even ask questions like they would in a physical tour, Hughes says.
"One of the things that has set us apart is that our virtual campus tour allows students and admissions reps to communicate in real time," he notes. "And that's what students and families want—instant feedback."

I suspect we hit it on an off night. Our appetizers came before our drinks did and the bread basket came afterwards? There was also a strong odor of bleach which no one could figure out? Our waiter was aplogetic and attentive. The website noted a pre-fix special but when we inquired about it we were told it was only for the last week of the month which was not noted. The Manager reduced our bill by $20 which was fair however we asked them to make a bowl of plain pasta with a little butter for our daughter (picky eater) and they charged us $15 for it.....yikes!
The food was very good, but higher priced then similar restaurants. The wine selection was excellent. The only down side was an automatic gratuity that took some control away from us.
Everything was great. Staff was accommodating and efficient. Would go back without hesitation.
food and service were amazing! fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection!
Husband had the best steak ever - the bone-in ribeye was cooked (rare) to perfection. Appetizer of calamari and bay shrimp was delicious. Only reason food didn't get five stars is because the seared ahi was too cooked. Still a great dinner and creme brulee was excellent. Great service and ambience. Too pricey for regular destination, but perfect for special night out.
The customer service and table experience is outstanding. It's a shame that there's a sports bar with TV, as this detracts from the first-class ambience elsewhere in the restaurant. The food is extremely good. My table enjoyed the flat iron steak, oysters, salad, and a seafood special, along with dessert. No fault found. Excellent wine selection in full, half and by-the-glass offerings.
My overall Mother's Day expereice was good, mostly becuase the excellant service we recieved from our server John. He was very helpful, knowlegable, and extremely professional. Unfornately, our initial arrival was not. We arrived 15 minutes early, not knowing that the restaraunt didn't open until 4:30pm. Several employees were standing around. The bartender finally said that the bar didn't open until 4:30 and the dining room not until 5:00. We were never asked if we had reversations or asked to come sit inside, though we stood out front for 15 minutes. Honestly, the food experience was good, but we probably won't return back to this location. We are actually frequent diners of Greystone!
We were staying at the WYNDHAM HOTEL in downtown and was looking for something romantic and not too far within walking distance.. I saw this restaurant across the street from where we were staying and thought we would give it a try!! Happy Hour is offered on Friday/Saturday between the hours of 9pm-12am at the bar only. This does not seem to be advertised a lot, but we happened to visit their site before going. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon which was exceptional tasty. I fell in LOVE with the Black Mussels & Manila Clams. Something about the coconut milk & yellow curry sauce which kept me wanting more. I also Enjoyed the Live band, ambiance and our bartender was friendly. Will definitely return to try more dishes in the future.
My wife and I (both in our early 30's) went here for a date night. Our meal came out to around $125 for the both of us. We started with the calamari/shrimp appetizer and shared a bowl of lobster bisque...both of which were amazing! I was hesitant about the caviar in the bisque 'cause I'd never tried caviar before, but don't let it scare you off...it really just didn't taste like anything at all. For our main course, I got the filet and she got the mahi mahi...again, both delicious! Steak was cooked perfectly and my wife loved the fish. We were stuffed and didn't have room for dessert, so can't speak to that. All-around great meal though. Recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. Great people-watching!
Excellent food preparation, nice size portions, seafood is the dish to go with. Salads are large and easily split if you're a light eater. It can get expensive if you're not watching the menu. Ultra modern setting with a gimicky wine attrivale tower like in Vegas. Recommend upstairs dining if you want to have a conversation at dinner. Can get noisy with the bar in the middles of the dining room. Would go back to.
The food was great! The only weird part was at the beginning we had about 3 different waiters come up to us asking what we wanted to drink or eat like they were fighting for our table and we just sat down so it was a little overwhelming but once we got our waiter he was great, came up to us a lot but still nice. I had the special which was the pistachio crusted halibut and my boyfriend had the osobucco which were both amazing. the caprese was a great appetizer! tasted like the mozzarella was made fresh that day! so good!
Picked the Restaurant from the Gaslamp Website. Made the right choice. Meal was great, had lamb sank and it was the best I had ever eaten. Employees and management treated us very well. Would highly recommend this Restaurant to everybody.
The food was delish as always. I can never get enough of the lobster mashed potatoes! I love this place and its alway cool to see someone retrieve the wine...its like a cirque show.
Food was great! Perfect location to celebrate a special occasion.
What a pleasure! Our special night out on the town was set in motion beautifully by the decor, ambience and great food at Osetra. We sat upstairs (perfect for quieter dining) and had a fabulous, friendly server (merci, Olivier!) Best Cioppino I've ever had (perfect textures among the seafood elements, delicious broth!) and a wonderful wine list. If you go out to dine (not just eat) Osetra is your place; although if you just want to eat and run, which we observed, they'll take care of you. P&D from NYC metro
food was delicious, nice decor and ambience. my only negative...waiter opened and poured our wine while we still had our cocktails
So far best in San Diego GasLamp. Great service. We sat outside and watched all the weirdos pass by. Food was amazing .reasonably priced for the quality. I WILL be back without a doubt.
Being the first time to the Gas Lamp District, we wanted to try something different...aside from the standard $$$+ restaurants...found the menu to offer special sushi rolls, oysters on the half shell, lamb osso bucco, and oban scotch...not a bad mix. Service was great, food brought to our table in a timely manner (not too soon, not too late). live music complimented the atmosphere. Easy walking distance from within the Gas Lamp District...might be a longer walk from the harbor hotels.
Nice place. Food was great. Only thing was I had some tummy issues later that night. Not sure if it was from fish or what. But I would definitely eat there again. Kinda funny watching the lady get wine from the tower. Good music for happy hour.
The seared ahi was the best! Great selection, plan to try the seafood sampler next time... Lisa rules the bar! Great service and suggestions!!!
Came here for restaurant week. Good food, nice bar and pretty good service. No complaints on my end.
First visit, for Restaurant Week. Interesting decor, food good overall, and the tiramisu was the best I've had in I don't know how long.
One of our favorite restaurants to go in Gaslamp. Delicious seafood, always had great service. Reasonably priced (especially during Restaurant week!) Had the mahi mahi and the almond sauce is DELICIOUS. My wife had the surf and turf and was outstanding. Good portions, great presentation. Will most definitely come back! Oh, and James (waiter) was exceptional!
Osetra was very close to where we were staying and the restaurant week price made a moderately expensive restaurant less of a gamble. The lobster bisque and calamari/shrimp appetizers were great. My friend had the mahi-mahi which was wonderful. For me, the house-made lobster ravioli was too rich to be the total entree (not counting tiny pieces of asparagus). I would have liked it better with fewer ravioli along with more vegetables. The tiramisu is also house-made and was very good. Our server was friendly and very helpful. The wine list is extensive. We were pleased with our choice!
service is outstanding at this restaurant--we arrived early and went to the bar while our table was being prepared--service was top notch and this continued when we were seated. Very knowledgable waiter and the food was outstanding--a definite return visit is in order here
Went here for restaurant week on a Friday night and enjoyed their menu. The food was well-prepared and service was quick and friendly. This is a nice restaurant, with live music in the entryway and a comfortable waiting area. The layout was open, with multi-story seating and tall ceilings. Sitting in the perimeter area was less noisy but still not quiet enough for a romantic night out. (Maybe it's quieter during the week). Extensive wine list (it's a book!) and ok selection of beer (not really their thing). Their mahi mahi dish w/ potatoes in citrus sauce was awesome and lobster ravioli w/ asparagus were very good. The asparagus was the best cooked of any I've had, sliced small and tender but not soggy. Cheesecake was phenomenal!
We were treated very well even though it was very busy and we brought two extra people. The seafood tower was awesome and worth the price. The halibut was amazing too. Our server, Holly was attentive and not pushy. Too often with a big group a server will push the seafood tower on you to up the bill but she didn't do any of that. She was as perfect as was the food and the ambiance and the host staff.
I had an amazing time at Osetra. Food was delicious and service was great.
Service and food were excellent. Downstairs was a bit loud but it was a Saturday night. Delicious seafood dishes.
We hosted/celebrated a friend from out of town. The Mrs. wanted to dress up and feel spoiled that night as well. Osetra was perfect for both. Be prepared to spend $$$, but the Mrs. is still discussing a) the scallops that she loved, and b) the incredibly handsome waiter with the French accent. And, after being seated at a less than preferential table, the manager had no problem moving our party to a more secluded area where we could talk and be heard. The "wine angels", though novel, were basically just okay. Perhaps a more elaborate costume would be in order?
Our experience at Osetra was outstanding! I had scallops and my wife had stuffed sole and both meals had excellent presentation and were delicious. The service was excellent and we enjoyed dining outside. We will dine their again, the next time we are in San Diego.
What a great experience. From the beginning to end, the service and food were fantastic. The Seafood Napoleon was delicious and the service was impeccable! Will definitely be back!
This was out of this world! Excellent winelist and wonderful service. The locally caught ahi-tune and the ribeye were the top favorites! Truly enjoyed it as we were on a company dinner. Wine angels were very entertaining and fun to watch as well.
a large group next to us was loud and noisy. otherwise very good service

Will Wright: The Wii is great and all, but it belongs in the "toy market"
Will Wright knows casual gaming. After all, we're talking about the brain behind The Sims here. He was – in a sense – casual before casual was cool.
So when Nintendo cast its net wide and started reeling in mothers, grandparents, and the occasional fitness buff, you can bet that Wright took notice. But even after selling millions upon millions, Wright's still not sold on Nintendo's little white videogame console. At least, insofar as the "videogame console" part goes.

So simple...
The fact that it was a green threw me off... if it was a red or orange I'd have solved it like that!
as it was I was using all the knowledge gained from A-level statistics to try and solve it.
All well...
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 4:27 pm
I thought the answer was going to be
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
because of the heavily stressed randoness - I guess the reason it isn't is because of the bit that says on average - ie
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
some people will see it first time, others will wait until Doomsday, but on average most people will be certain of having seen it by 140.
I think.
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:39 am
What I dont understand is that as it's completely random, i.e. as soon as it switches from one picture to the next it "forgets" which pictures have been shown, this fellow's portrait might never come up.
And also, if it was all 140 uniquely then on average then it would be 70, as out of 140 shots half the time he'd be in the first 70 and so on.
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:22 am
You're overcomplicating this card, it's only a green.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On average the portrait will appear once every 140 minutes
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Personally I'd knock 1 minute off for the fact that one portrait is shown when he arrives but the answer doesn't do that
so the confirmed solve is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:11 pm
It doesn't accept any of these:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 2:22 pm
As fitzyfitz noted:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The probability of waiting k minutes, P(X=k) = p(1-p)
where p is the chance of your picture appearing: 1/140
This distribution is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
X ~ Geometric(p)
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 1:01 pm
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
probability of observer *not* seeing their portrait after X minutes is 139/140 ^ X
(139/140)^96 = 0.502
(139/140)^97 = 0.499
so it takes 97 minutes to reach a >50% chance of seeing your own portrait

#128 Perplexing Portraits
card author sente
card text reads
Whilst attending the opening of the new "perplex city today" exhibit at the maitland museum, i noticed a large group of academy fellows gathered round a painting. moving closer, i saw that it was the latest work from the renowned artist hugo bonvini.
"Apparently hes painted 140 of us and the picture changes to a different one every minute its completely random though, johnstones come up twice in the last ten minutes!" explained one fellow.
"bonvini's a genius with a brush . i'm not leaving until i see my picture cant be too long now!" exclaimed another
Just then the picture changed once again to johnstone and i realised how long the fellow could expect to be waiting for his portrait to appear.
laughing to myself at how clever the artist was, i walked away, making a mental note to check none of the group belonged to the mathematics department.
How long should the fellow expect to wait on average?

<p>"But how do you thank someone who has taken you from
Permalink Submitted by Patrick on Fri, 2012-05-18 20:38
"But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?" -Lulu
The quote provided above helps me recall this singer and a song from my younger days. And Lulu's song reminds me of something I read recently, it's about a dauther who stated that the only way she could pay her mother back for all that she did for her, was to "play it foward" to her own children.
I believe the same is true of fathers, but is it not also true with the Lord. How can one "pay it back" to God for all that he provides? How do we "play it foward"?
It is not a new question, just one on my mind. Thanks.

Members who serve in a leadership role on the OLLI Council or as a Committee Chair enjoy a particularly rich experience. This deeper kind of member participation provides opportunities to apply expertise developed over a lifetime, apply it in new ways, and form closer connections with fellow OLLI members.
OLLI Council. OLLI members elect a governing Council of nine individuals. The Council determines OLLI policies and oversees implementation of its programs and activities, consistent with the policies of SOU and the OLLI at SOU Bylaws. The terms of Council members are staggered in order to have continuity of leadership within the organization. In other words, three Council members are elected each year by OLLI members to serve for a period of three years. The officers of OLLI are the same as the officers of the Council, and consist of a President, Vice-President/President Elect, Secretary and Treasurer.
OLLI Committees. The OLLI Council selects Committee Chairs for each operational area with oversight by a specific member of the Council. For a complete list of these committees and their function, see Volunteering.
See list of those who currently serve as OLLI leaders [PDF].
Council Agenda and Minutes. Starting with OLLI Council Meeting minutes from April 2013, approved minutes will be posted here in PDF format. For the minutes of prior meetings, contact the OLLI office.
Council Budget. The current OLLI budget is provided here in PDF format.

Mr. Gregory's resolution relative to secret societies, pending at adjournment yesterday, coming up in order--
Mr. NEWMAN supported the resolution. It had been admitted on this floor that societies of men banded together for mutual protection, existed. All members of such societies were traitors. A Grand Jury of the country had found that there were treasonable associations throughout the State. The people generally believed that such societies existed. All these facts were sufficient to demand the investigation proposed.
Mr. SHOAFF, of Jay, said there was no parallel between the resolution to raise a committee to investigate arbitrary arrests and the resolution under discussion. Nor did it follow that the man who voted for the one must necessarily vote for the other. In the one instance the resolution was founded on facts; in the other on common rumor. In his county such rumors bad been prevalent,and investigations had been had, and the rumors shown to be groundless. He deprecated making this a party question. The investigation proposed would involve a needless expense. No good would come out of it. He thought it would only serve to embitter partisan feeling.
Mr BAKER argued that if no such society existed, the cost of an investigation would be amply repaid by the quieting of the public mind and good would result from the appointment of the committee of investigation if it should be revealed that secret societies existed for the purpose of defeating the laws of the State and of the General Government. The expense incurred would be nothing in comparison with the great benefit to the country if the facts, as people generally believe them, were ascertained. Democrats in his part of the State did not deny the existence of such societies.
Mr. WOLFE argued against the resolution. It certainly cast a reflection on the Democratic party, but it was based upon mere suspicion. If gentlemen had facts let them go to the courts. He did not believe any such societies existed.
Mr. HOSTETTER had reason to know that there was a secret society of traitorous tendency in existence in his county. His partner in trade was a life-long Democrat, who had always voted that ticket except at the last election. He is well known to the members from Monroe and Putnam. Lately, within two weeks, this gentleman had been invited by Democrats to become a member in a secret society existing in Boone county. A bribe was offered him. The bribe was to elect him a township trustee at the spring election. He asked, page: 69[View Page 69] the object of the society. He was answered to suppress the rebellion, which the abolitionists had failed to do. How will you do it? 1st. Refuse to pay taxes to support the Government; 2d. To resist future drafts for the army; 3d. They had sent a delegate representing five counties in a convention held in this city the week before to induce the President to withdraw his emancipation proclamation. It failed. They said if it failed, they would compel the majority to pass an ordinance of secession to take Indiana out of the Union.-- His partner's name was James M. Springer, and the gentleman who invited him to join the secret order was James Samuels, township trustee. His voice should be raised against traitors hero find everywhere, he was ready to meet them in whatever shape they might come. He was for "one country, one Government, or one graveyard." He demanded the passage of the resolution and the investigation it proposed.
Mr. PACKARD said if ho understood the object of the supporters of the resolution, it was to fasten disloyalty upon , members of the Democratic party. If such disloyal Democrats could be found, he was ready to assist in bringing them to punishment. But in his counties there was not a single Democrat who believed in the existence of such societies. Governor Wright was the first man who had asserted their existence, and the people had laughed him to scorn. As to the term Abolitionist, about which some gentlemen were so restive, every man who indorsed the President's infamous emancipation proclamation and the acts of the present radical Congress, was an Abolitionist; he knew no other name for him, And as for the Grand Jury which had made their presentment, alleging the existence of treasonable societies he denounced it as a biased and Abolition Grand Jury. He proceeded, ridiculing the testimony adduced by the gentleman from in Boone. (Mr. Hostetter.) It came from the vicinity of the famous Boone County Bank, and he was afraid there was some fraud in it. The disloyalty of Democrats would be found on investigation to consist in opposing the acts of the present Administration. If that was disloyalty, he was disloyal. If that was treason he was a traitor, and Abolitionists might make the most of it. For he did, here and now, denounce the acts of Abraham Lincoln's Administration. He did, here and now, denounce his infamous proclamation--his trampling upon the Constitution and the laws. It was the right of the people to resist tyrants and usurpers, and, he said, here and now, (he cared not how many spies and informers were lurking about this hall) he was ( ready to join any society to protect their rights and liberties--to maintain the laws, and the Constitution. He concluded with a glowing eulogy upon the fidelity of the Democratic party to the Constitution, laws and liberties of the people.
Mr. CASON introduced joint resolutions 12,13 and 14 passed by the last Legislature and identical with Senate joint resolutions 1 and 2, [see page 44 of these Reports] embracing the following points:
- 1st. Amending the second section of the second article of the Constitution, to enable the Legislature to define the residence of voters.
- 2d. To amend article eight of the Constitution, to enable cities, towns and townships to levy taxes for common school purposes.
- 3d. An additional amendment to the twenty-third section of the fourth article of the Constitution, permitting incorporated cities and towns to pass laws levying special school taxes.
Which were read the first time and passed to the second reading.
Mr. BROWN offered the following which was adopted:
WHEREAS, One Andrew Wallace, now holding the office of President of the Board for the Management of the Benevolent Institutions of Indiana, has held during the same time and now holds the office of Surveyor of "this District of Indiana," an office of trust and profit; and,
WHEREAS, The said Andrew Wallace, in a card published in the Indianapolis Daily American, of August 13, 1362, did admit that he held the office aforesaid, in the following words, to-wit: "Editors Evening American: Please explain, for the benefit of the ignorant, as to passes. I am acting United States Surveyor for this District of Indiana, holding my commission under his Honor, Secretary S. P. Chase,with power to arrest traitors against our Government, and issue special permits;" and that he had been selling such permits for over one year; and,
WHEREAS, The said Wallace admits in said card, so published, that crowds went to his office in Indianapolis, and all that were worthy to receive them, he sold to, and a great many he refused, charging for said passes twenty-five cents each to all persons who desired to leave the city in pursuit of their business avocations, an act derogatory to and in violation of the rights of the free people of Indiana; and,
WHEREAS, The Constitution expressly provides that "emigration from the State shall not be prohibited," and the said Wallace, in the exercise of an assumed arbitrary power, attempted to prohibit the free transmit, or "emigration," of the people of Indiana, unless they procured from him "free papers," the same that are required of the negro slave from, his master; and,
WHEREAS, The Constitution expressly declares that no person shall hold more than one lucrative office at the same time, except as is expressly permitted in that instrument; and,
WHEREAS, The said Andrew Wallace stated, before his election to the office of President of the Board aforesaid, that he wanted the position for its honor, and pledged himself not to use it for the advancement of his private interest; therefore,
Be it resolved, That the Attorney General of this State be instructed to inquire and report to this House whether the said Andrew Wallace has not vacated the office of President of the Board of Benevolent Institutions, by holding at the same time the office of "United States Surveyor for this District of Indiana."
The House resumed the consideration of Mr. Gregory's resolution.
Mr. ATKISON was not convinced by all page: 70[View Page 70] he had heard during the discussion this morning, that the investigation proposed would amount to anything. He conceived, if such societies existed, the proper place to arraign the members was in the courts. The Grand Juries of the country could inquire concerning all such matters, and when facts were found to warrant it, make presentments. On this floor were members urging the resolution who had been themselves members ot a secret political society--the Know Nothing order. The mover of the resolution himself had been a member of such secret political society, He, if the resolution were adopted, would be chairman of the proposed committee. That being the ease, we could well understand what sort of a committee we would have, and what sort of investigation, so far as Democrats, who had always been opposed to secret political societies were concerned. He was not willing, as the resolution proposed, to impeach the loyalty of so great a number of his fellow-citizens. The resolution was one for buncombe.
Mr. CASON insisted upon the existence of secret political societies. A Grand Jury of Indiana had said so.
Mr. BROWN (interrupting,) asked the gentleman if that Grand Jury had not perjured themselves, first, by divulging acts they were sworn to conceal; second, by presenting 15,000 citizens of Indiana as traitors and than failing to find a bill upon which any one of them was convicted?
Mr. CASON. Every lawyer in the State knows that they did not. They did not, as the gentleman said yesterday with defence to the editor of the Indianapolis Journal, "draw upon their imagination for their facts." I will ask the gentleman how he knew that the matter was as stated in regard to that editor?
Mr. BROWN. I said that the editor of the Journal did, upon his oath, admit before a Grand Jury that he drew upon his imagination for the matter of his editorials.
Mr. CASON. Before what Grand Jury?
Mr. BROWN. Before the Grand Jury of Sullivan county. That editor had stated in his paper that he knew of a plot by citizens of that county to assassinate Governor Morton by placing obstructions on a railroad track. When summoned before the Grand Jury of that county he declared upon oath that he knew nothing of the matter whatever; nothing of such a conspiracy, although he had stated in his paper that be did; and that so far as he had said anything concerning it he had drawn upon his imagination for the facts.
Mr. CASON. How do you know this?
Mr. BROWN. I can prove it by members on this floor.
Mr. CASON. Were they members of the Grand Jury?
Mr. BROWN. I do not say whether they were or not.
Mr. CASON. If they were, according to your own argument, they have perjured themselves, divulging what they should not have divulged. If they were not, they received their information from perjurers. He resisted the idea that the majority of this House should have the chairman and majority of the committee proposed by the resolution. What did they desire this for, if not for the purpose of stifling investigation? He appealed to the majority, as patriots, as statesmen of Indiana, not to resort either to tyrannical, action or subterfuges to defeat this investigation, demanded by every loyal man in the State.
Mr. BUSKIRK explained his position yesterday as to the formation of the committee. If Mr. Gregory's resolution was adopted, by Parliamentary law he would be chairman and would be entitled to have a majority of the committee from his owns party. It was competent for the majority to refer, and dispose of the question, till some one of the majority should move for an investigation, be Chairman and secure control of the Committee. Hence he desired the reference to the Committee on Federal Relations.
Three o'clock having arrived, the Senate preceded by the President, entered the Hall.
The PRESIDENT of the Senate called the Convention to order and announced that the General Assembly were met in Joint Convention, pursuant to a concurrent resolution of both Houses thereof, for the purpose of electing a State Printer, three directors for the State Prison South and three for the State Prison North.
On motion by Representative BROWN, the Convention proceeded to elect
Representative NIBLACK nominated George E. Greene, of Knox County for the term of four years.
Senator RAY nominated Samuel Donaldson, of Shelby, for the term of four years.
Representative MOORMAN nominated A. S. Crothers and Samuel M. Mitchell.
Messrs. Greene and Donaldson received 81 votes, Messrs. Crothers and Mitchell 54.
The PRESIDENT declared Messrs. Donelson and Greene duly elected.
Representative HOWARD nominated John F. Reed of Clarke for the term of two years.
Senator MARSH nominated Wm. Brotherton, of Delaware.
Mr. Reed received 81 votes, Mr. Brotherton 54.
Mr. Reed was declared elected.
page: 71[View Page 71]PRISON DIRECTORS, NORTH.
By consent, the Convention agreed to vote for the three Directors at one ballot.
Senator HOAGLAND nominated Thos. Tigar, of Allen.
Representative WOLFE nominated Jas. H. Swaar, of Owen.
Representative MILLER nominated R. S. Hastings, of Tippecanoe.
Representative MOORMAN nominated Chancey B. Blair, of Laporte, Hugh Hanna, of Wabash, and Jonas Votaw, of Jay.
Mr. Swaar received 83 votes, Mr. Hastings 81, Mr. Tigar 80, Mr. Blair 56, Mr. Votaw 56, and Mr. Hanna 55.
Messrs, Swaar, Hastings and Tigar were declared duly elected for four years.
Senator BROWNE, of Wells, nominated Joseph J. Bingham, of Marion.
Senator BEESON nominated Berry R. Sulgrove, of Marion.
Mr. Bingham was declared elected.
The PRESIDENT. The business for which we met 'having been transacted, I pronounce this Convention adjourned sine die.
When Senators had retired--
Mr. CASON resumed. No one who had listened to the discussion here could avoid the conclusion that such secret political organizations do exist: and have not all these gentlemen who proclaim that they were on Grand Juries and called hundreds of witnesses and foiling no evidence of such secret organizations, proven themselves by the logic of their party friends to be perjured rascals? We have other facts. Prominent Democrats have declared their existence. Judge Hughes has done it. We have seen and heard enough ourselves to convince us of their existence, and I shall assume their existence as incontrovertible. If they exist; if their design is to thwart the operations of the government, or other illegal purposes, have we not a right to investigate them? Shall we not investigate whether they are criminal in their aims? But the Democrats say the resolution charges the Democracy with belonging to treasonable societies. The resolution makes no charge that that party as a party composes this secret organization. It strikes against the societies themselves, not against parties. Why are gentlemen so delicate? They who press investigation on other questions? What is it, except that they fear it may "disclose that prominent men of their party, men whom they have nominated for office, may be implicated? Will they attempt to stifle investigation for partizan success? Are these men, who have piously and plaintively read lectures to the minority about constitutional oaths, and duties, ready to stifle investigation for partizan ends? He reviewed the course of the majority, in their attempt to override the minority, and their constant denunciations of the Government, while they were prating about the rights of traitors.

For maximum cucumber crunch, choose firm, slender cucumbers with thin skins. Cucumber seeds become bitter with age. Slice older cucumbers in half lengthwise and run the tip of a spoon down the center to remove the seeds. Or try hothouse cucumber. These very long slender cucumbers don't have many seeds but cost a bit more.
Rice vinegar is less acidic than cider, white or wine vinegar. Look for it near the other vinegars in the grocery store.

Is that an hoax?
Or is it a real wish from D. Knuth?
Is that an hoax? Or is it a real wish from D. Knuth? (http://river-valley.tv/media/conferences/tug-2010/Don-Knuth) |
It is a joke. Knuth is known for his "professional humor", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth#Humor. | |||||||||
All i components of Apple are presented in San Francisco, where also the last TUG meeting (32 years of TeX) was held. This was the reason why Knuth introduced the iTeX in his talk with a audio visuell logo ... It was a joke ... | |||||||||||||||||
It's worth documenting that there is another, non-joke, iTeX. WebTeX was a restricted subset of LaTeX that was designed for rendering as webpages, offering a more sophisticated layout model than CSS. Paul Gartside took a subset of that focussed on rendering mathematics, called it iTeX, and wrote a converter to MathML, which he called itex2mml. Jacques Distler is currently maintaining itex2mml, and provides documentation of the iTeX language and the itex2mml utility. | |||
Well, there is another non-joke iTeX, an iPad reader for documents prepared with TeX/LaTeX. It's in the iTunes app store, and you can read about it at http://itex.cheswick.com or see my presentation on it at the same conference as Knuth's i(whistle)TeX, but I beat him by two days. | |||||||||||||
I think it's a bit late april's fools :) | |||
