Remove the spalsh screen (02 Mar 2008)You can just delete or replace C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework\shared\eclipse\ plugins\com.ibm.notes.branding_188.8.131.5280214-1630\splash.bmp with your own picture. |
Keep the C++ API alive (20 Feb 2008)Giev edit button... or remove "never" word from above post. |
Keep the C++ API alive (20 Feb 2008)Notes C++ API is questionable, but the Notes C API is the most important interface to Domino databases. You can remove Java, LotusScript, Notes Client, Notes Designer, whatever, but never leave us the Notes C API, it's what ISVs use to build new technologies for Domino. Like the new OpenSource/Commercial Lotus Traveller project for Symbian Platforms, like for Nokia Communicator E90, the best (only?) phone for business needs on the planet. |
Rounded Corner tables (18 Dec 2007)Rounded courners are obsolete, it was just a fashion trend. If you see anywhere rounded corners you can say "omg this site is so 1980!" :) What' IN now are now sharp corners, and also slant corners, but both in 3D style. The addinional kick comes from the virtually non existant microfades of colors, like seen in Notes 8 Standard. It just gives the feel that it looks better, but the eye can't tell why. And then AmigaOS 4.0 is just around the corner and will show once again to the whole IT industry how things should be done, for the next 20 years again. |
"Contact" class structure needed (14 Dec 2007)Yes, same vote as on the Plaxo synchronization idea. |
File\Database\Open... by Replica ID (14 Dec 2007)Some server may have also multiple replicas on the same server (for RAM performance, backups, etc...), so a simple REPLID would only cause confusion and incoherence. |
We need a Plaxo connector (14 Dec 2007)I've never heard of Plaxo before, but a quick Google showed that it has more than 15 million users. So, it would be indeed useful to support Plaxo. |
You need to login prompt - add link to login (21 Nov 2007)@2 - Yeah, I feel your pain. It's not IdeaJam's fault, but the core HTTP task functionality of Domino. I'm also running several huge Web Apps on Domino, and those lacks just have to be "fixed" by informing users about the restrictions. |
"Keep me logged in" option please (21 Nov 2007)This is a crosslink, dunno how to make those fancy circles :) { Link } |
You need to login prompt - add link to login (21 Nov 2007)The core problem is that IdeaJam does not really remember your login. Check out boards which are using SMF, PHPBB, or basically ANY Non-Domino board, they all remember your login. Domino 9 must come soon, I can't believe how Lotus has been slacking on the improvement of Domino, which is their MAIN product. |
ALL speakers need to provide presentation slides (21 Nov 2007)Truly basic quality stuff. Presentations in Office 95 PPT/ODF format should be mandatory. Yet alone the fact that some people in LotuSphere would like to visit concurrent chronical sessions, and in addition that they want to review the sessions with their colleaques back at their office. |
We might need a 'report user' option... (21 Nov 2007)@5 - Exactly, constructive criticism is the best a developer can get. He assumes his product is working fine, so positive comments are nice to hear, but they don't make the product better in any way. |
We might need a 'report user' option... (21 Nov 2007)How about if Demotes would require a comment? Promotes are usually trivial and need no explanation like "Yes", "I agree", etc... |
Quicker access to Refresh/Replace Design (21 Nov 2007)I use always keyboard shortcuts to replace design. A simple Alt-FTF, Cursor down, Enter. It's like pressing one key when you get this macroed into your fingers. |
Quickr 9.0 should support Domino 8 Linux, Fedora servers and workstations (21 Nov 2007)Fine, I can come up with the business costs of SUSE Enterprise Linux, but just make Quickr to run on it too. This IS supposed to be the only good platform at the moment, and IBM should support "the only good" platform. |
Support for Domino for MacOSX Server (21 Nov 2007)MacOSX is just another Unix clone. There are far better server optimized Linux distributions for server performance, SUSE Enterprise as a default recommendation. |
Bring back the Lotusphere CLP Discount (21 Nov 2007)SPCPL people should also get treated like Kings. They should get free LotuSphere invitation, and a limousine with a chauffeur to drive them around DisneyWorld at any time of the day. |
Support Lotus Domino on Ubuntu Server (21 Nov 2007)Ubuntu is like the "Windows" of the Linux world. No-brainer installation and use. But it also is not meant to be optimized for certain purposes. Fedora has a "soft mode" selection between Client and Server installation, but that's about it. If you're looking for real hardware optimized server solutions, check out SUSE Enterprise or CentOS. So far SUSE has beaten all platforms in pure I/O performance, and only AIX6 is getting closer to challenge it. |
Additional field: 'IBMs statement' (20 Nov 2007)@6 - 1) I don't mean an assimilation of IBM, the control and ownership should always stay at the OpenNotes community, that gives more credibility (not that IBM would be incredible, it's just more the voice of free will). What I'm saying is that numbers count, nothing else. Yes, IdeaJam came out of Beta quite recently, so the natural base of users will still raise over time, but some marketing would also speed up the process. |
For server-based replicas, when choosing File-Replication-Replicate-Replicate With Options..... (20 Nov 2007)A server replicating with itself is a very possible scenario. I use this feature to replicate real-time transaction data from a 4GB RAM disk to the hard drive replica databases of the same Domino server. RAM Disks are unavoidable when you have 300000+ users who perform several item transactions per second. |
Link or application in startup folder should only start in one location (20 Nov 2007)More user-based customization is always good. |
Since MAPI-support has been removed, Notes should have a standard API to access email functions (20 Nov 2007)There are Standard APIs to support Notes mail functions: OLE/COM/C API. Of course C API works the best, but has longer development times. The Visual Basic COM interface is the easiest to program, but it has many bugs due to Microsoft Office. A pure Visual Studio Basic program overcomes those bugs. I suggest using Visual Basic 6, as newer versions of Visual Basic are crap, and lower the development time again. |
automatically return to idea view after voting on idea (20 Nov 2007)I've have suggested a similar idea earlier, when posting a comment returned you to the home page of Idea Jam. But votes on this too. |
I wish Symphony could read Office 2007 files (20 Nov 2007)Please, do not support Office 2007 file formats. Make the users learn to save as Office 95, and later on as ODF. |
Add Travelling Time to Meetings (20 Nov 2007)Nice idea! |
Disabled resources in Resources view (20 Nov 2007)Sure, if it helps Admins. |
Do not notify me about my own comments (20 Nov 2007)Off, you know what you commented, no need to repeat it as mail. |
"Keep me logged in" option please (20 Nov 2007)I don't think Domino supports that yet, or maybe with some secret trick. Domino 9 will have more love on the HTTP task, I can't wait for it! |
Restrict Readers automation (20 Nov 2007)Quickr servers should always be on the internet. If you make them intranet only, then you get problems like that with Anonymous. Less security, more common sense. |
.Net components for Domino (20 Nov 2007)@5 - No. |
Additional field: 'IBMs statement' (20 Nov 2007)To get some attention from IBM, the highest voted item should have far more votes. 96 votes does not really represent the whole Notes community yet, no matter if it includes unvoted votes. When we start to see total votes like 300000+, then IBM should automatically start to pay attention to the voice of the community. So lets spread the word about IdeaJam even more! |
I wish the Productivity Editors could read Office 2007 files (20 Nov 2007)I don't care if ODF is stopped. If it's perfect, there's no need to improve it :) Microsoft OpenXML format was rejected by the Standardization Organization, so ODF is at the moment THE Standard for office files. OpenOffice users save their files of course still in Office 95 format, so that a broader audience can use them. But in future, more and more people should start to use ODF, and then it's not needed to save as Office 95 anymore. A new standard would take again years before it's supported by all users. |
Additional field: 'IBMs statement' (20 Nov 2007)I think this is a good solution, since at the moment IBM is using their own internal sites to decide about final stuff, but they should be more open to the public. This is not (yet) an official IBM suggestion site, but I would like to see become it one. |
Consistent boolean values in @Formula and LotusScript (20 Nov 2007)Instead of using @Formula, Notes/Domino should be improved to be able to use LotusScript everywhere instead of Formula. |
Consistent boolean values in @Formula and LotusScript (20 Nov 2007)So basically, you want that an expression like: Flag = Evaluate("@True")(0) can be macroed as Flag := @True I don't know if this is such an good idea, if it would still internally use Evaluate. |
ready made colour schemes to apply to a form/view/whole app (20 Nov 2007)I like black background with green text! Nothing beats a real mainframe terminal. You could try Lotus Quickr, it has a one mouse click Theme changing. Lotus Quickr has lots of features which people are even nowadays making from scratch or trying to reproduce. It's a waste of time and money. You can customize the Quickr templates to your business needs (although there is seldom a need to). You can't do that in SharePoint, you will even lose all data when changing a "Theme" or "Template". |
I wish the Productivity Editors could read Office 2007 files (20 Nov 2007)I would strongly recommend Office 2007 (and other Office versions too) users to upgrade to OpenOffice. Keeping up Microsoft's exotic formats gives really no business benefit to anyone. |
Allow replying to a particular comment, not just the main idea (20 Nov 2007)Good idea, Crysis boards from Electronics Arts has a pretty nice solution to make boards look like flat, but still keep the tree structure: { Link } |
Create WCM Rich Client based on Expeditor (19 Nov 2007)I've heard rumours that WebSphere and Domino will be joined as one product in future, so probably all components and features will be available in Notes/Domino then too. |
.Net components for Domino (16 Nov 2007)I don't hate Microsoft because they are huge, I hate them because they are doing absolutely everything wrong. Windows, BizTalk, Intel based, .NET, DirectX 10 for Vista only, Vista itself, no backward compatibility, no stability, full of security holes, full of lies in marketing, etc... Just look at IBM, although IBM is also not the best, but at least they do things much much better than Microsoft. The best is still OpenSource. |
Allow easy remote access (telnet/ssh) to the server console from Linux (16 Nov 2007)I strongly agree with Daniel. The Java client is a nice experiment, but not really ready for production. Linux should either have a native C++ Admin Client or a way to use text mode remote shell (servers don't usually need/have graphics cards and UI's). |
Give attendees a DVD/USB with all presentation PDFs on it (16 Nov 2007)Please not PDF. My computer doesn't have a program which can read PDF file format. I would prefer ODF or HTML, since it works on any computer. Quickr site would be good too, then I don't need any programs on my computer. |
IBM Should Change the Slide Templates (16 Nov 2007)True dat. I've experience too often that people are not aware of how small their text is presentation actually is. And in additional lots of text on one page, is completely ignored. If you want the text to mean and say something, make it big and standalone. Even better with some bass sound effects. |
Form Property to exclude from FT Indexing (16 Nov 2007)My search engine has already the option to select only wanted fields for the index. That reminds me again to prepare the demo for Bruce :) |
Increase Field Size (16 Nov 2007)Yes, the 16K and 32K limits have been around for too long. Doing all fields with RichText is too cumbersome. Make the text fields 4GB of size, as Strings in LS are too. |
Bring back the Lotusphere CLP Discount (16 Nov 2007)In addition to the CLP title, there should be also a distinct PCLP title, and even an superior SPCPL certification, and each should be completely seperate for Admin/Dev paths. Each time the number of people who earned the highest certification, there should be added a new, even more difficult certifaction. Only that way companies can distinquish between low end CLP and high end CLP persons. |
.Net components for Domino (16 Nov 2007)No thanks, Lotus should get rid of all Microsoft components. STL, OpenGL, OpenAL, Newton SDK, RakNet, is all you need, for all applications, for all platforms. |
Quickr should fully support Mac clients (i.e. a Mac connector pack) (13 Nov 2007)I think Mac is a nice platform, but it has one BIG mistake: it's not OpenSource! And even that it's technically possible to install Mac OSX on any PC, Mac forbids it. That is so lame and childish. Go Fedora 8! |
Increase number of votes for BOF Sessions (13 Nov 2007)Forget about Lotus rules, use Idea Jam! Print out the voting list from Idea Jam for BOF sessions (you need to post the idea of course first), I'm sure IBM'er are VERY aware of this site by now. If not, I wonder what they get paid for. |
Quickr 9.0 should support Domino 8 Linux, Fedora servers and workstations (13 Nov 2007)I think the chances to get many companies to switch from Windows to Linux are very good at the moment. I see a lot of people complaining about Vista, and Windows XP will have no support in a year of two, and Fedora 8 was just released, which was easier to install than Windows for me. Notes works, OpenOffice works, and Wine/VirtualBox can take care of many old Windows apps. |
Implement Sender Policy Framework / Sender Rewriting Scheme (12 Nov 2007)Spam filters which don't really analyze or understand the message like a human does, should not be used at all. |
Make the Gateway not to require DB2 (12 Nov 2007)Domino outperforms DB/2 in many areas, but DB/2 also outperforms Domino in many areas. The sad thing however is that you get DB/2 for free if you are it with Domino, but the Domino to DB/2 interface is very slow, and could be made 1000 times faster with a simple hack. |
Allow Lotusscript control of table cell colours etc (12 Nov 2007)The whole Rich Text idea is kinda corrupted. There should be only HTML, which the Notes client displays exactly in the same way as Firefox. People should remember that the whole idea of the Notes Client was to be a world-wide TCP/IP browser, somehow Mozilla was faster and won the race, but it's not too late to adopt to the current standards. |
Grey Workspace, still after all these years? (12 Nov 2007)Yes, I hope Notes 9 will use OpenGL 2.0+ to show the workspace texture as a 3D face with bumpmapping, normal mapping, specular mapping, displacement mapping, etc... All standard stuff for 3D engines. |
Release a trial version of Quickr (and Connections) (12 Nov 2007)LOL, Quickr is probably the easiest program to install ever. I just installed it today (Quickr 126.96.36.199). It doesn't ask anything, just a user name for the Admin. However, Quickr 22.214.171.124 is still very early in development, although it's acceptable stable. If you tolerate to downgrade a Domino 8.0 x32 server to Domino 7.0.2FP2 and all Vista x64 Enterprise and Fedora 8 x64 workstations to Windows XP x32, it works OK. |
Lotus Notes Express (12 Nov 2007)I think Notes/Domino should be OpenSource, it would really speed up the development. IBM still gets enough money from POWER6+ CPU systems, as there are no noname-POWERx system that I know of :) |
Improve notes.net forums (08 Nov 2007)Well, I didn't say anyone could use the configuration area, so if you say it's for Admins only, it can work as well (as long as they are actively tracking new needs and requests for areas). |
IdeaJam still uses Domino FTI? (08 Nov 2007)I sent you a mail. |
Search results don't show contents since 2007-11-05 (08 Nov 2007)K thx :) |
Search results don't show contents since 2007-11-05 (08 Nov 2007)I think you didn't understand my issue. When I enter "wow" in the search I get 3 entries, but they don't show the content of the comments, just the links. |
Search results don't show contents since 2007-11-05 (08 Nov 2007)I searched for "wow" too, and I see no contents in the search result. Are you using Firefox? |
Places history (08 Nov 2007)Wow, Quickr! I'm getting my own Quickr server next monday too, I'm so gonna Bang Bang Sharepoint down, when presenting it to all Managers in our company :) Actually I still need Quickr 8.1 which fusions the J2EE and Domino version of Quickr into one simple term, and runs on Domino 8 x64 too. But yes, history display is a good general feature, my votes up. |
Right-click > Open in Client from Designer w/Notes 8 Standard is broken (07 Nov 2007)It's sometimes difficult to say what is a bug and what is an intentional change in Notes 8 Standard, so lets make it simple: anything which works in Notes 8 Basic and doesn't work in Notes 8 Standard is a bug. I declare this as a global standard rule :) |
Improve notes.net forums (07 Nov 2007)Just add an feature to add new Idea Spaces. It doesn't need to be directly from the Idea Form, but a seperate IdeaJam configuration area would also work (to prevent too much random Idea spaces to be created by users). |
Separate DominoBlog template from restrictions of Domino release cycle (07 Nov 2007)In general, the Lotus Templates are quite useless too. I've tried a few times to use a Discussion or Library template from Lotus, but they just don't work - either they try to load some Java applet, which doesn't work on any PC I have tried, or they have some hardcoded bitmaps, and are not primarily meant for Web use. On the Notes side they seem to work fine though. For web applications it seems the easiest way is still to hit Ctrl-N in your Notes Client and add some Forms and Views in Designer. But I guess the main source for standard Domino apps is OpenNTF.org then. |
Improve notes.net forums (07 Nov 2007)Yes, notes.net forums area actually an quite underestimated resource. They help in most cases to resolve issues much faster than real SPR tickets to IBM. IBM should really put more resources in improving notes.net. |
C is for Cookies that's needed by U and me! (07 Nov 2007)Yeah, it's quite annoying that Domino login page doesn't remember the username/password. I heard Lotus will finally focus on their core business again in Domino 9 and finally improve it. |
Create a mock framework for Domino Java API (07 Nov 2007)C++ is faster than Java, LotusScript is faster to develop than Java. Java is useless. |
Right-click - Paste Special (07 Nov 2007)Ad-Hoc right click menu is a good idea, I used to teach Excel users how to learn Excel in 1 second: right click everything. Using the Menu bar takes too much time to learn all options, but of course it's also good to have for reference. |
Right-click - Reorder menu from Inbox (07 Nov 2007)Inbox should be removed completely. All Documents shows also your responses. |
Typeahead for Custom Classes (07 Nov 2007)Yeah, this is a good idea. It's just basic text processing and some lookups, I mean it's not like asking Notes to be 3D OpenGL, yet :) |
Display a "user ranking" number beside profile links (07 Nov 2007)Oh nm, I mixed it up with a similar Idea. |
Right-click > Open in Client from Designer w/Notes 8 Standard is broken (07 Nov 2007)I voted "No" because I think Notes 8 Basic is better, and Lotus should focus their development on Domino 8 / Notes 8 Basic, and do Notes 8 Standard development only when the first two are fixed satisfactory. |
Reply-With-History to reference and save only one copy of the email (07 Nov 2007)Notes should only send a "difference" info to the receipients, and remove all duplicate mails which contain the same history as the last "Reply to all with history" mail. That way, no attachments, no body text would be ever sent twice. |
What application good for ideas submision? (07 Nov 2007)#replace "benefits the benefits", "the benefits" Where is the Edit Button? |
What application good for ideas submision? (07 Nov 2007)IdeaJam is the best idea flow application at the moment. If pricing is dynamic to the budget of the hosting company, it's as good as OpenSource. But I think the competition is also hard, and soon there will be also similar OpenSource solutions available (not from me at the moment though :), but then you have to consider also the handicaps/benefits the benefits if it's Crap-DB based, or Domino/DB2 based. |
Display a "user ranking" number beside profile links (07 Nov 2007)Bug Test, all comments deleted? |
Let People with Editor access compact a mail file (07 Nov 2007)The server should have an daily and weekly program document which does compacting of all databases automatically. You wouldn't want users to initiate a compact, and taking a lot of CPU load during work hours. |
Calculate quota without considering whitespace (07 Nov 2007)Domino's compact is quite bugged anyway, I've written a better compact command: xcompact Beta 1, and it's free. However it destroys unread marks, which I think are useless anyway: { Link } |
Ability to Open in New Window (07 Nov 2007)Shift is the standard for opening links in a new windows. Notes should follow the standards. |
Fix HTML mail rendering (07 Nov 2007)I agree, that Notes should have a better HTML rendering. Lotus can just copy paste the source code for proper HTML rendering from Firefox source code :) |
Display "Hit Counter" for Ideas (07 Nov 2007)That's true, it's very convenient if an idea is said clearly in very few words, then there's no need to open it. However, a Total Votes Counter and Neutral Vote Counter could be still shown, since now it shows only Promotes and Demotes counters. |
Cheap Domino Hosting (07 Nov 2007)I've asked Ed Brill how to get an XSP license for my Domino 8 server, but I haven't heard back yet. However, according to the Domino 8 Utility Server Express license, I can host own applications, and can of course also have people use my templates. If you have an application which is based on my templates, I can host it for $15 per year per started GB. If you want additionally an own domain for your site (.com, etc...) it costs $15 per year also. |
Move Lotusphere to Nashville or Lexington (02 Nov 2007)Or then to Lappland, you don't need a hotel - you can just sleep under a tree! |
Free beer for overflow sessions (02 Nov 2007)LOL |
Move Lotusphere to Nashville or Lexington (02 Nov 2007)If anything else than Florida, then Oshkosh, there are some cool experimental aeroplanes :) |
Loginbox is really cool, don't get me wrong (02 Nov 2007)It seems to work now, and my username & password is automatically filled in (Firefox). |
Allow shift click for multi doc select (01 Nov 2007)Oh nm, it's working correctly, I forgot to hold down Ctrl+Shift at the last step. Where's the Edit/Delete button for replies? |
Allow shift click for multi doc select (01 Nov 2007)It's still not working as it should in Notes 8, for example try this: Select doc 1, hold Ctrl hand select doc 3, hold Ctrl and select doc 5, now hold Shift and select doc 10. It should keep doc 1 and 3 in the selection also, but it just kills their selection and selects doc 5 to 10. I need to add this to my "Why Notes Sucks" list also :) |
How about letting us park at the Swan/Dolphin for free? (01 Nov 2007)You can still order a cab, when you have some longer days going on :) |
How about letting us park at the Swan/Dolphin for free? (01 Nov 2007)I've never stayed at Swan/Dolphin, but in some cheaper hotels around the area, and they all had free bus travel to Swan/Dolphin. |
IdeaJam does not support URL links (31 Oct 2007)Ok, that works, thanks for the tip! However, I still think it should also work by simple pasting of text. |
IBM should provied an Open Space for all developers to share thier Sametime Plug-Ins with others (30 Oct 2007)I don't see any benefit that especially IBM should host this kind of service. There are thousands of better service providers out there who have faster response times. IBM has lost the focus on important things like Domino totally, but a new hope is coming with Domino 9. |
Prevent multiple replicas on a single server (30 Oct 2007)As an option this would work. It's nice to have everything totally parametrized. |
Create empty NotesDocumentCollection (30 Oct 2007)Doesn't "If col is Nothing" do the same? |
Disable the default encryption for new databases (30 Oct 2007)Notes 9 will get rid of ID files, then the "lost forever" will be also lost forever. So, Notes 9 will kinda fix this issue. |
Move HTML signature into mailfile (30 Oct 2007)I've posted an mail template mod on notes.net which allows the users to enter also a URL into the sig field in the preferences. The URL will be re-loaded if it's not found in the temp directory of the current workstation. That mod, and also the manual input of HTML code into the sig field should be both saved into the users' mail file instead of harddisk. |
Redirect to result if only one hit (30 Oct 2007)Oh, that's true. But it would be nice for Domino too :) |
Get rid of .ID files (30 Oct 2007)Notes ID's should work like Web ID's, all you need is a Person Document. |
Redirect to result if only one hit (30 Oct 2007)That's good idea, however it should be optional, and default to OFF. The parameter should be configured from the Server Document. |
Petition IdeaJam for a BOF at Lotusphere (29 Oct 2007)I wouldn't be surprised if Rocky would mention IdeaJam in one of his sessions. He's always been a pioneer and enthusiast. |
Swap F5 and F9 Keys (25 Oct 2007) |
Disable the default encryption for new databases (24 Oct 2007) |
After posting a new idea in a idea space, it jumps back to "All Ideas" (20 Oct 2007) |
Eureka! New Flavor of Jam (20 Oct 2007) |
Should the idea jam include products from Lotus ISV's? (20 Oct 2007) |

I would get it, but, like most songs that have come out, it won't download for non-US territories.
Still, 80MSP for a ten-minute death metal epic? Nice.

Somebody needs to download it and upload an expert guitar video so I can preview it. *
*If you think a one minute preview is enough for me, it is not. The best part of a song is damn near never the beginning!
And we get this epic song for $1 on the same day we get Atomic by Blondie for $3. Puts it into perspective, doesn't it?
Props to metalcharter and The Project Hate for the low price point. I'll get it when it's available in Europe
*Gets all happy that a 10 minute song for only $1 appears!*
*Clicks the link to download*
*"Sorry, this download is not available in your region"*
*sadface customer*
Oh well, might aswell just go play my none existant Mordecai instead.. lmao.

1 freakin dollar lol.
and then we see blondie at 3$...
Guitar GOLDSTAR = 1900/2200
bass GOLDSTAR = 2000/2200
I hope it's changed dramatically since this release... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzg7TkAKs30
Some parts are completely horrible, chart wise.
☒ A Perfect Circle

Through its history, it had been considered an elite unit.
In 3027, the Lyran Commonwealth had secretly formed 1st Tyr BattleMech Regiment. The unit consisted of assault 'Mechs manned by Rasalhagian exiles and refugees.
In 3029, Lyran leaders invited the leaders of the Rasalhague independence movement, called the Tyr, to Tamar. The Tyr were impressed and agreed to work with Lyran government. The unit participated in last throws of the Fourth Succession War, then went into hiding while waiting for the politicians of secure independence.
After independence was achieved in 3034, rogue Draconis Combine military units that were stationed on Rasalhague began to attack the Republic. These forces were declared ronin by Coordinator.
The 1st Tyr had recently reactivated prior beginning of hostilities as a garrison unit for Rasalhague.
After the Ronin War's conclusion, the 1st Tyr was decommissioned and its members went on to be promoted to other positions in the military and the Republic's government."

The KungsArme has shown a remarkable level of competence, considering its short history as an active national force. Their ability to face the renegade DCMS units during the Ronin Wars as well as their ongoing campaign against raiders and periphery pirates has forged them into an impressive and cohesive fighting force.
The assistance of both the LCAF and DCMS in the process of forging this fighting force can not and should not be discounted. The LCAF committed resources, in the form of the Tyr Regiment, and personel to guide, advise and help lead the nascent national army during their initial conflicts, while the DCMS sent units to support as well as personel to advise and command during this same period. Though several incidents have occurred between the KungArme and the forces allied with them, few were of any consequence and relations between the KungsArme and the forces of the Draconis Combine and the Lyran Commonwealth are openly respectful if not expressly congenial. With the withdrawal of the supporting forces from Steiner and Kurita, the duties of defense and protection fall squarely on the KungsArme, and they have consistently risen to the challenge.

Here's a bit on Christian Månsdottir: Lyran citizen who requested transfer to the 1st, becoming its commander after the liberation of Kirchbach. After the declaration of independance in '34, many people thought he would become the Elected Prince, but instead it went to a leader of the Tyr Resistance Movement (I know, confusing), Haakon Magnusson, who had worked out the deal with ComStar and the Combine. Instead, Christian became a General and Chief of Staff of the KungsArmen. His politics were quite different from Magnusson, prompting him to found a competing political party (Motsatt Stalining Parti or MoPat). The members of this group were old 1st Tyr, or from the Lyran half of the FRR. The big differences of opinion seemed to be relations with the Combine and how to handle the military (size and composition).
Månsdottir was captured on Rasalhague by the Wolves, though Haakon was able to flee. The Wolves offered him governorship of the captured Rasalhague worlds, but he refused, and was imprisoned, later to be rescued by the Wolf's Dragoons.
Interestingly, the unit wasn't actually brought back into existance until at least '61, when Månsdottir became the Elected Prince Regent (the population actually elected Ragnar Magnusson, who was not able to lead as he was a bondsman for first the Wolves and later the Ghost Bears, so they held another election for a Regent).
Christian is much more militarily focused, and had he been elected Prince instead of Haakon, the FRR may not have found itself in quite so bad of a position as it did when the Clans invaded. Haakon felt that increasing the size of the military (the KungsArme) would be seen as a provication to the political powers to either side of the Republic, and didn't want to do anything to cause conflict. Månsdottir greatly mistrusted the Dracs, and wanted to build up the army to protect against them. Christian was also much less (at least in his later life) anti-merc.
Anyway, to get to the point: It's interesting that there is talk of reforming it now, even though it wasn't reformed for over a decade more, in response to the Clan Invasion and as a symbol of "rebirth."

Preparing for Your Future

Why CTE?
The case is this: in order for students to succeed, we need to prepare them for the ever-changing world of work, which means not only college readiness, but career readiness—students with access to postsecondary education and skills attainment possibilities that will prepare them to achieve in the 21st century.
We ask the question, "Why Career and Technical Education?" with honesty. Why, among the many competing education demands, student needs, and graduation requirements, does a program that has its foundations in the 1917 Smith-Hughes Act hold relevancy still? Between emphases on early learning to college preparation, where does Career and Technical Education (CTE) fit in and merit consideration? Why should students who barely have an opportunity to explore the arts, health and fitness, or social studies, be directed to courses in aerospace manufacturing, horticulture, financial math, sports medicine, or integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)?
The answer to the above questions, we believe, is that CTE offers a unique opportunity to engage students in an enormous variety of subjects, incorporating academic, creative and technical skills, with the specific goal, nowhere else represented in education, of preparing students for all of life that comes after high school.
CTE needs to be an integral part of every student's education so that all students graduate from high school globally competitive for work, prepared for postsecondary education, and ready for life as positive, contributing members of society in the 21st century. With CTE, students succeed.
To learn more, check out the "Why Career and Technical Education?" section of the Statewide Strategic Plan for Career and Technical Education (Final) (PDF), beginning on page 8.
On the remainder of this page we provide information on how CTE can strengthen your education and help you prepare for your future:
Career Counseling and Exploration
Career exploration and life skills planning form the foundation of Career and Technical Education programs across the state. If you are in the 7th, 8th or 9th grade you will benefit from learning about the world of work and planning for your education accordingly. The most efficient way to get organized is to develop a High School and Beyond Plan.
The CTE program and its career counseling staff and tools can help you create a very strong and balanced plan. Career and academic guidance resources vary from school to school and district to district, so we encourage all 7th, 8th and 9th graders to seek advice from:
CTE Classes
CTE classes are offered in many different fields, from construction, welding, firefighting, police work and cooking to environmental science, anatomy and physiology, nursing, veterinary science, computer software, graphic arts, mechanical engineering, architectural drafting, and business and marketing. These classes integrate academics with technical skill development to help prepare students for higher-level courses in college or prepare you for a paid internship. Some middle schools offer limited CTE classes and most high schools offer a wide range of CTE classes.
Navigation 101
Navigation 101 is a life skills and planning program for students in grades 6 through 12 to help you develop your High School and Beyond Plan. It operates on the premise that every student deserves help and attention, not just those who are at high risk or are high achieving.
Nearly one third of the middle and high schools in Washington participate in Navigation 101 and more are participating each year thanks to financial support from the state Legislature. In Navigation 101 schools, each student is assigned to a teacher or administrator who follows you through the three or four years that you are enrolled in that school. Each advisor serves as advocate for no more than 25 students, and they meet with each student every two weeks. Navigation 101 schools are developing new tools and resources all the time that will enhance all participating schools.
Schools not yet on board with Navigation 101 sometimes have only one guidance counselor for hundreds of students. However, even students in schools that are not participating in Navigation 101 can benefit from exploring the Navigation 101 Web site and other career exploration sites such as:
Skill Centers
Skill centers are high schools that serve more than one school district and offer industry-defined Career and Technical Education classes in fields ranging from firefighting and police work to audiovisual communications and healthcare. Not all school districts have easy access to a skill center but more centers are being developed.
Meeting Credit and Other Graduation Requirements Through CTE
Many CTE courses — including those taught at skill centers — offer credit that meets the academic credits required for graduation. Some CTE courses earn dual credit, meaning students earn college credit as well as high school credit, tuition free. CTE Advanced Placement courses such as environmental science and computer design are available in some schools. (Students who pass their AP exam following a CTE class also earn dual credit.)
Other high school graduation requirements that can be met through CTE include the culminating (senior project) and testing alternatives. Each school's offerings are different so ask your school career counselor or district CTE office for details.
Learn more about dual credit options in the April 2009 Career and College Connections and more about CTE and graduation requirements on our Graduation Requirements page.
Tech Prep
Tech Prep classes are open to students in grades 9 through 12 and offer tuition-free college credit as well as high school credit. All Tech Prep classes are CTE classes and all have established relationships with local community and technical colleges, meaning students taking a level one or two CTE Tech Prep class in high school can enter the level three or four class in the same discipline at the local two-year college after they graduate from high school. Some Tech Prep students finish their entire first year of college while still in high school, and save a lot of tuition money in the process.
Not all dual credit CTE classes are in the Tech Prep family. For example, CTE Advanced Placement classes offer dual credit but are not Tech Prep classes.
Running Start for the Trades
Running Start for the Trades (RSTT) is expanding opportunities for 11th and 12th grade students to enter state and federal apprenticeship programs. Students take courses that prepare them for full-time apprenticeships following graduation, or for a two-year college program that leads directly to an apprenticeship. For more information, read the December 2010 report to the Legislature or visit the Apprenticeship and Training Council website.
Work Experience Opportunities
CTE students in many cases can pursue what is called a "work-based learning" opportunity or an internship involving a job outside of school. "Work-based learning" experiences are always paid and also earn high school credit. Internships are typically paid but do not earn academic credit. Individual schools and CTE teachers work with local employers to arrange these opportunities for their students, so your local CTE or career office is the best source of information for what your own school offers.
Student Leadership Organizations
Career and Technical Education student organizations help you grow and learn how to compete. These organizations are specifically designed to increase the confidence and leadership potential of members. Depending on your school's Career and Technical Education courses, you might have some or all of Washington's student leadership organizations available to you. Visit our Student Leadership Organizations page for more information.
Education After High School
A broad choice of jobs — some of them very well-paid — are available to those who further their education and training after high school. You don't have to get a bachelor's degree in order to find a career that you are passionate about and allow you to financially support a family.
Washington post-high school offerings include:
Old Capitol Building, PO Box 47200, 600 Washington St. S.E., Olympia, WA 98504-7200 (360) 725-6000 TTY (360) 664-3631 Contact Us | A-Z Index | Site Info | Staff Only | Education Data System (EDS)

Looking for something to do during the holiday season? Banff is always a great place to spend some time. Whether you are going just for a day or have longer to spend, there is always lots to see and do. My kids used to love stopping to see the hoodoos, riding up the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain and, of course, spending time on Banff Avenue visiting the candy store.
We all think of Banff for downhill skiing, but do we also think of dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides? The Hot Springs are open year round as is the Sulphur Mountain Gondola. Just imagine the snowy vistas you can see from the top of the mountain!!
If you prefer indoor activities, you can visit some of the museums such as the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum or the Banff Park Museum National Historic Site of Canada.
There are lots of activities both indoor and outdoor that are free of charge. Think of ice skating outdoors in the middle of the mountains, tobogganing and sledding or cross-country skiing. One of my favorite activities is a stroll through the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
You can make the most of your visit by checking out some of these great books at Calgary Public Libray before you go. Find some hidden corners that you haven't discovered before.
My Favourite Restaurants: Calgary, Banff and Beyond (2009) by John Gilchrist. Calgary's very own John Gilchrist has again shared his opinions on the best places to dine.
The Town of Banff has a comprehensive website with information on things to see and do.
As well, Banff National Park has a website with information on activities, natural wonders and public safety.
There is also a Banff Lake Louise website with more information on things to see and do.
Happy Holidays!!

That`s true!! Enrique and Jennifer are both Latin, so... :P
Oltra Vez = Oltra time !! Is my interpretation correct?????

FDA Needs Ethical Guidelines for Post-marketing Studies
- Categorized in: August 2010
WASHINGTON, DC—The FDA is in need of a conceptual framework to help the agency evaluate the ethical issues involved in determining whether companies should start or continue clinical trials on approved drugs and in ensuring that these studies are ethically conducted, according to an IoM report released last month.
The agency recently gained authority to require drug companies to undertake studies of their products after they are put on the market, which presents the agency with additional challenges. The IoM report's proposed framework underscores the importance of FDA's decision-making processes and study design considerations.
The IoM committee highlighted the need to make sure post-marketing studies are warranted before calling into question an approved drug's efficacy and safety. FDAshould ensure that any trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an approved drug suspected of causing serious adverse events is conducted only when the existing evidence and any evidence from new observational studies would be insufficient to enable the agency to make responsible policy decisions. The agency should also determine that questions about a drug's possible risks or risk-benefit balance rise to the level of requiring a policy decision, such as whether to revise the product's label.
In addition, the report states FDA should make sure that trials are appropriately designed to resolve uncertainties about efficacy and safety and to minimize risks to participants. Risks should be judged acceptable by appropriate oversight bodies, and participants and studies should be continuously monitored to assure that the risks continue to be acceptable. The process of informed consent should continue over the course of the trials, and participants should be promptly advised of substantial changes in clinical practice or professional standards and new research findings that could affect their willingness to accept the risks associated with a trial.
The report responds to one of several questions FDA asked IoM to explore in a review of ethical and scientific issues related to studying the safety of drugs on the market. Specifically, it addresses the ethical and informed consent issues that must be considered when designing randomized clinical trials to evaluate potential safety risks.
The report remains incomplete, with only an early draft being released last month. FDA requested an initial report on the ethical issues in advance of a meeting scheduled for July to discuss the case of the diabetes drug Avandia®. The report addresses the issues at play in this case, but does not delve into or respond to the specifics of the Avandia case. A more detailed analysis is scheduled for release with the IoM committee's final report due in spring 2011.

Like brass bands, or singing at football matches, the ting-a-ling sensation of a cowbell feels warm and traditional -- part of the very fabric of sport.
But that fabric is changing.
Where once making noise at events was the responsibility of the fans, clubs and venues increasingly see the atmosphere as theirs to generate, maintain -- and police.
Go to most major sporting events in 2013 and the ambiance will be provided by vast, booming speaker systems.
In a world of YouTube, endless TV channels and bewildering freedom of entertainment choice, sports reach out and grab their audience by the ears.
So is the cowbell a relic of an age when fans were left to their own devices?
"Sport now sells music and music sells sport," says academic Anthony Bateman, who researches the relationship between the two at England's De Montfort University in Leicester.
"The links are getting stronger and stronger and that is partly commercial.
"Music is pumped out to encourage chanting and singing and there is a sense that, for example, football clubs are intruding into what was once a fairly spontaneous part of fan culture."
Records of chanting at football matches go back to the 19th Century, with famous songs such as Portsmouth's "Pompey Chimes" and Norwich's "On The Ball City" dating to the late 1800s.
A century earlier, says Bateman, early books on cricket described a "rambunctious crowd culture, a little like the (present-day England supporters') Barmy Army".
Contrast that with an example from 2004, he says.
"The Premier League actually paid someone (Birmingham City fan Jonny Hurst) $16,000 to write chants for different clubs.
"People said that typified the sterile, corporate atmosphere -- supporters are not trusted to come up with their own songs any more. It was an organic relationship in the past, and now things seem terribly forced."
Indoor sports arenas, in particular, now batter occupants with wall-to-wall music during stoppages in play.
Extreme outdoor pursuits emerged hand-in-hand with a youth culture of music and video, while football teams have been known to play recordings of chants to get a crowd going as sports establish which techniques work, and which simply alienate their fanbase.
"Sound is one way by which sports are now constantly reinventing themselves," concludes Bateman.
Cowbell in vogue
Yet diehard ski race fans still stand on a slope and ring bells from a small Norwegian factory, in the tradition of Alpine farmers.
And that tradition spreads by the month.

Thank you Michael. I appreciate your post!
Any person who is true to his word, is fair and honest, who has integrity and does the right thing.
He has to be able to discern and do the right thing yes!
Great post Marian.... there are a lot of men on this site who share those characteristics and it fills me with hope. Seems to me that a man of honour has honesty, gentleness and humility of soul and someone who sticks to his principles (a man who acts like Christ to others) but prepared to listen to both sides of an arguement and make a reasoned decision.

I did not like this rug. It's thin, cheap looking and you can see the white edges from underneath the rug. Depending on how the rug fibers are laying, some parts of the rug appear lighter than other parts. I would not recommend this rug as it seemed low quality especially for the price. Rugsusa.com was good about taking it back for a refund.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.

The Home Depot, Inc. is the world's largest home improvement retailer based on Net Sales for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2009 ("fiscal 2008").

Wednesday, Dec 42:48 PMLowe's still playing catch-up with Home Depot
- Home Depot (HD -0.6%) wins another head-to-head comparison against rival Lowe's (LOW +0.6%) after it landed more market share of Black Friday weekend traffic, 5.6% vs. 4.2%, while spending roughly the same amount on TV advertising in the weeks leading up to the period.
- Lowe's spent $4M for each percentage point of market share (of the top 50 retailers) while Home Depot only doled out $2.9M.
- Comparable stores sales growth trends have been stronger at Home Depot as well this year.
Wednesday, Dec 42:48 PM| Comment! -
Tuesday, Nov 264:57 AMRetailers build discounts into initial prices
- Consumers who think they'll be getting huge discounts on Black Friday might want to think again. In the words of the WSJ's Suzanne Kapner, "those bargains will be a carefully engineered illusion."
- Retailers and suppliers first work out the lowest price they can sell a product at and still make the profit they want, and then they jack up the "suggested retail price" so that the retailer can later offer a big discount.
- Another tactic is for stores to raise selling prices just before the holiday season discount period kicks in.

Saturday, Nov 232:27 PMAs holidays approach, Barron's goes bargaining hunting in retail stocks
- "The U.S. economy might be limping along, but many consumers have broken into a sprint," Jacqueline Doherty writes, in what seems like a rather paradoxical passage considering that consumer spending accounts for around two-thirds of U.S. economic output.
- Doherty cites an October retail sales print that came in ahead of consensus, NRF's expectations for a healthy Y/Y increase in holiday sales, and a hefty, market-beating return for the S&P Retail Select Industry index as evidence of "improvements in the consumer's fortunes."
- Still, Barron's thinks some stocks, like Michael Kors (KORS) and Restoration Hardware (RH), may have limited upside after big runs.
- Among retail stocks listed as "bargains": Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), Home Depot (HD), and Macy's (M).

- The October read on U.S. retail sales showed general demand weakness in the U.S. unrelated to the government shutdown drama.
- While the auto sector performed well, other categories including electronics and clothing only managed meager gains - while the building materials and garden equipment (HD, LOW, SHLD) category was a notable laggard.
- Retail sales ex- auto were up 2.4% from a year ago.

Sunday, Oct 2710:12 AMWinners, losers, and trends to watch in retail
- Economists forecast a delayed report on September retail sales will show no change in purchases as spending on automobiles stalled just a bit during the month amid federal shutdown concerns.
- Though there has been a cautionary tone from analysts on retail all-stars such as Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW), Gap (GPS), and Macy's (M) - retail sales ex-auto are pegged to poke out a 0.4% gain during September as some sectors have held up.
- Looking ahead, a report from Deloitte suggests that retailers with solid 'buy online and pick up in store' programs could resonate with consumers this holiday season. Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT), Best Buy (BBY), and Staples (SPLS) come to mind.

- The strong outlook from Lumber Liquidators and healthy Q3 earnings beat is helping to prop up shares of Home Depot (HD +0.3%) and Lowe's (LOW +2.1%) on a down market day.
- Of particular interest to the home improvement giants was the nice bounce in traffic and average ticket price at Lumber Liquidators despite the uncertain economic times.

Iowa releases plan to cut runoff in Gulf of Mexico
IOWA CITY (AP) — Wastewater treatment and industrial plants would be asked to make costly upgrades to cut pollution while farmers would do so voluntarily under a long-awaited strategy released Monday to reduce harmful nutrients in Iowa waterways and the Gulf of Mexico.
Gov. Terry Branstad's administration released the 200-page document laying out plans to tackle one of Iowa's most pressing environmental issues, after two years of study and private meetings. It comes in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's order in 2008 for 12 states along the Mississippi River to develop strategies to prevent nitrates and phosphorous from reaching the Gulf of Mexico, where excess levels of the substances make large areas unsuitable for marine and plant life.
Iowa is a leading contributor to the problem, which comes from runoff caused by fertilizers and manure used on farm fields and at wastewater and industrial plants.

DEADLY CARGO: The Anopheles mosquito carries the malaria parasite responsible for disease and death in much of the tropics.
Image: EVA-MARIA PASIEKA Corbis
In Brief
- Vaccines against malaria have encountered repeated failures. New technological approaches have revived the push for an agent that would provide lifelong immunity.
- Late-stage clinical trials will finish this winter on a vaccine that has been under development since the 1980s. It could reduce cases of the most lethal form of malaria by half.
- Even as this work moves forward, researchers are proceeding with other strategies for new vaccines, such as a weakened form of the parasite that is cultured in mosquitoes.
- Because malaria has been so hard to fight in the past, researchers must moderate outsize expectations to keep hopes from being dashed yet another time if new vaccine candidates fail.
More In This Article
Right now, somewhere in the world—in a petri dish in Baltimore, maybe, or in the salivary glands of a laboratory-bred mosquito in Seattle, or in the bloodstream of a villager in Ghana—resides a chemical compound that could help eradicate human history's biggest killer. Scientists have many promising malaria vaccine candidates in the works, and for the first time one has reached advanced human trials. If it or another candidate is even partly effective in people, it could save the lives of millions of children and pregnant women. It would be the only vaccine yet developed against a human parasite, an achievement of Nobel caliber. And it could, in its first-generation form, be distributed in Africa as soon as 2015.
"If all goes well, five years from today, a vaccine could start being implemented in a wide way in six- to 12-week-old children," says Joe Cohen, a scientist who is leading some of the most promising research. "It is a fantastic achievement. We are all very proud of that." This is an extraordinary moment for malaria vaccine research. So why isn't Regina Rabinovich singing from the rooftops?

For the third year in a row, two University of Guam students were chosen to participate in the Native American and Pacific Islander Research Experience (NAPIRE) summer program in Costa Rica funded by the National Science Foundation. Biology majors Robert Ady and Chris Rosario submitted their applications to the program with 11 other students from Guam in February and are happy that they will be representing UOG at Las Cruces Biological Station this summer.
Robert, a biology/secondary education major was inspired by Dr. Wendy Townsend's talk during her Guam visit last February. With her longtime interest in Latin American ecosystems, Wendy is passionate about her work as the coordinator for the NAPIRE program and her enthusiasm caught Robert's attention. "I am continually in awe of the world's biological complexity, which evokes a deep need in me to want to understand God's creation. As a future science teacher I want to be able to motivate my students. The opportunity to fulfill my own interest in ecological research and work closely with a mentor in Costa Rica will have a positive affect on my overall confidence in the classroom," says Ady.
Biology major and veterinarian technician Rosario is interested in the NAPIRE summer program as a means to explore the possibilities of a career in ecological research. "Although I am very interested in animal behavior and veterinary science, I am also drawn to field ecology in tropical systems. This summer internship will be an important factor in helping me decide whether to become a vet or make a change in my career focus," says Rosario.
Rosario and Ady are excited by the possibilities of designing their own research experiments in collaboration with a mentor, living and breathing the scientific method for two months and meeting and learning about other indigenous peoples, including the other 16 students participating in the program. They will also have the opportunity to interact with indigenous groups of the region, allowing a first-hand look at the role of Native Peoples in tropical forest conservation.
UOG, Western Pacific Tropical Research Center scientist Ross Miller will be spending his third summer with the program as a mentor. An entomologist and avid birder, Miller looks forward to more time in the diversity-rich jungles and mountains of Central America. "I am delighted that UOG students continue to apply and be accepted into the program. It is an excellent opportunity for aspiring scientists to work closely with mentors who are experts in their respective fields," says Miller.
Both Rosario and Ady are grateful to their professors, Drs. Camacho, Miller and Lobban for their guidance and assistance during the application process and Dr. Camacho's continued help in preparing for the trip.
The Organization for Tropical Studies and the NAPIRE program are supported by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation Program (LSAMP, National Science Foundation). For more information, please visit www.ots.ac.cr/.
UOG and Guangxi Institute of Fisheries Collaborate on Selective Shrimp Breeding
In 2008, the University of Guam College of Natural and Applied Sciences signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Guangxi Institute of Fisheries (GXIF) to collaborate on research regarding a shrimp selective breeding program. In July a group from Guangxi Institute of Fisheries visited the University of Guam to meet President Robert A. Underwood, Lee Yudin, Dean of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Board of Regents member Andrew Laguana, and other administrators and faculty members. The group reviewed progress on the joint research program, discussed mutual interests and issues related to the on-going program, and explored options for future collaboration. UOG faculty member Dr. Hui Gong and her team facilitated tours of the UOG Hatchery facility, a shrimp/tilapia farm in Guam, and they traveled to Saipan to visit a shrimp facility. Four exchange scholars from China have visited the University of Guam to participate the shrimp-breeding program. Additional research collaboration between UOG and GXIF is anticipated in the future.
Pictured from left are Donghuo Jian, Hui Gong, UOG faculty member; Xiaoli Yu, office manager of research programs in GXIF; UOG Board of Regents member Andrew Laguana; UOG President Robert A. Underwood; Xi Gan, director of GXIF; Xiaohan Chen, deputy director of GXIF; Dean of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences Lee Yudin; Yong Lin, manager of GXIF tilapia experimental station & hatchery; and Daxiang Xie, manager of GXIF shrimp experimental station & hatchery.

KUAT Channel 6 interview of Republican Mayoral write-in candidate
Friday, August 19th, 2011KUAT channel 6 reporters Christopher Conover and Andrea Kelly interviewed one write-in Republican who is vying in their primary on August 30 to be their party's choice for Mayor of Tucson. Click here for the interview on August 19 of carpenter/construction worker Daryl Peterson. Lobbyist Rick Grinnell (the other write-in running for Mayor) was unable to attend the taping. Either needs 1060 write-in votes to qualify for the November general election ballot. Neither has run for Mayor before, but Grinnell has unsuccessfully run twice in the past for the Ward 2 Council seat.
Neither former Mayoral Republican candidates Ron Asta nor Shaun McClusky submitted enough valid signatures to qualify to be on the primary ballot, which is why there will be no Republican name printed on these ballots.
The two Democratic write-in candidates for Mayor, political newcomers David Karr and Joseph Maher Jr. were interviewed on KUAT two weeks before on August 5 (click here). They are facing Democratic candidate Jonathan Rothschild, who submitted 3283 signatures to qualify to have his name on the Democratic primary ballot. Rothschild is also a political newcomer and was interviewed on KUAT back in January (click here).
Also running for Mayor are two Green candidates Dave Croteau and Mary DeCamp who will face off in the Green Party primary on August 30. Croteau ran for Mayor before in 1999 (write-in) and 2007, and DeCamp ran for the Ward 3 Council seat two years ago. Their KUAT interview can be viewed here.
Ballots for the primary on August 30 were mailed out last week starting August 10. Absolute deadline for these ballots to be submitted to be counted is 7 p.m. on August 30.
