With their goaltending and defense sagging, the St. Louis Blues are hoping the return of goalie Jaroslav Halak can bring some relief from a four-game losing streak.
Halak, out since Feb. 1 with a groin strain, was activated from injured reserve Sunday and is expected to be the starter when the Blues (6-4-1) host the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
The Kings lost 3-2 at Detroit on Sunday on a goal by the Red Wings' Jonathan Ericsson with 4.5 seconds remaining. Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard turned away 45 shots.
The Blues dropped to 0-2-1 on their four-game homestand and now face a Kings team that swept them out of the Western Conference playoffs in the second round last spring.
Rookie goalie Jake Allen was assigned to minor-league Peoria on Sunday to clear the way for Halak's return.
Halak is 3-0 in five games with a 2.10 goals-against average and .889 save percentage. The Blues have allowed 21 goals during the four-game losing skid.
A 6-5 shootout loss to Anaheim on Saturday got the Blues one point in the standings, but continued their stretch of ineffective play.
Chris Stewart and Alex Steen each had a goal and two assists for the Blues, who were unable to hold a 3-1 lead when Anaheim scored three times in the span of 1 minute, 41 seconds.
David Backes had a goal and an assist while David Perron and T.J. Oshie also scored.
"We started well, we finished well," Steen said. "In the middle of the game, we let them back in."
Despite the loss, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock saw things he liked.
"We competed for 65 minutes at a very high level," Hitchcock said. "We played a heck of a hockey game."
After being selected to the NHL all-star team and leading the NHL in goals-against average (1.56) and save percentage (.940) last season, Blues goalie Brian Elliott was 56th and 59th in those same categories following Saturday's defeat.
Elliott has a 3.51 goals-against average and .853 save percentage and allowed five goals on 23 shots to the Ducks as the Blues lost to a rookie goalie for the second straight game.
After the game, Hitchcock indicated Allen would have started in goal Monday against the Kings unless Halak was able to return.
Elliott gave up a goal to Ryan on Anaheim's first shot at 11:09 of the first period. He appeared to settle down after that, as St. Louis built a 3-1 lead.
But the Ducks wiped out their deficit and took their first lead by scoring three times on three shots in a span of 2:21 in the second period.
Teemu Selanne started the run when he put in a deflection with Elliott out of position at 12:40. Just 45 seconds later, Andrew Cogliano scored. Bobby Ryan then beat Elliott at 14:21 to make it 4-3.
St. Louis trailed 5-4 when Stewart tied the game with a power-play goal at 15:26 of the third.
Nick Bonino had the deciding tally in the shootout for the Ducks on their sixth attempt.
Blues veteran forward Jamie Langenbrunner has a hip injury that will require surgery and will be out indefinitely, the team announced Saturday.
The 37-year-old right winger has one assist in four games this season and six goals and 24 points in 70 games since joining the Blues.
He has 243 goals and 663 points in 1,109 games and 18 NHL seasons. The Blues signed Langenbrunner as a free agent in July, 2011.
* Blues defenseman Wade Redden was presented with a silver stick, a watch and a painting before Saturday's game after becoming the 280th NHL player to play in 1,000 games. Redden reached the milestone Thursday against Detroit.

Methodology to the Rescue
As treatments activists followed, or contributed to, the debates surrounding AZT, they also devoted increasing attention to new drugs, such as ddI and ddC, that appeared likely to be the next additions to the therapeutic armamentarium of HIV antivirals. Since these drugs were chemically related to AZT, few thought that any of them would be an ideal therapy; but nothing else was anywhere near approval, and ddI and ddC at least showed promise. Perhaps they could provide alternatives for those who couldn't tolerate AZT's toxicity or for those who, over time, had stopped benefiting from AZT. Or perhaps some combination of these nucleoside analogues would prove more effective than AZT alone. Throughout 1989 and 1990, as AIDS treatment activists pursued the approval of these drugs as well as others that treated opportunistic infections, they became ever more enmeshed in the minutiae of clinical trial design—a set of topics that, increasingly, they would debate face-to-face with researchers and officials from the NIH and the FDA. This direct engagement with the terms of clinical research would both establish the scientific credibility of the activists (or certain of their representatives) and ultimately alter the pathways by which specific treatments came to seem credible in different quarters.
As with the parallel track initiative, a turning point came with the Montreal conference in the summer of 1989. ACT UP/New York had
distributed an AIDS Treatment Research Agenda blasting the ACTG program and detailing the activists' demands: more compounds in clinical trials, an end to placebo-controlled trials that required "body counts" to prove efficacy, greater access to clinical trials by all social groups affected by the epidemic, and more flexible protocols with broader entry requirements. Susan Ellenberg, the chief biostatistician assigned to the ACTG trials at NIAID, recalled seeking out the ACT UP/New York document in Montreal in response to her own curiosity: "I walked down to the courtyard and there was this group of guys, and they were wearing muscle shirts, with earrings and funny hair. I was almost afraid. I was really hesitant even to approach them. …" But after picking up the document, Ellenberg quickly found herself "scribbling madly in the margins." Though most of her marginal notes reflected dismay at activists' failure to understand, "there were many places where I found it was very sensible—where I found myself saying, 'You mean, we're not doing this?' or 'We're not doing it this way?'"[51]
Ellenberg brought the ACT UP report back to Bethesda and shared it with her colleagues in a working group of statisticians who had been meeting to discuss challenges posed by the AIDS epidemic. "I've never been to such a meeting in my life," said Ellenberg. According to David Byar, the chief of the biometry branch of the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control at NCI: "I think anybody looking at that meeting through a window who could not hear what we were saying would not have believed that it was a group of statisticians discussing how trials ought to be done. There was enormous excitement and wide divergence of opinion."[52] Soon afterward, with Fauci's consent, Ellenberg expanded her Statistical Working Group by inviting representatives from ACT UP and other community-based organizations to participate.
In a sense, the agenda of these meetings of the Statistical Working Group was to find methodological common ground that would satisfy competing ethical concerns. In more public arenas, activists were effective in seizing the moral high ground, and researchers were easily put on the defensive. Activist theater—like serving "Kool-AID" at public speeches by ACTG researchers to compare them to Jim Jones orchestrating mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana—acted on researchers' sensitivities but risked alienating them as well.[53] In more private negotiations, by contrast, there was at least tacit acknowledgment of ethical claims on both sides.
On one hand, activists often criticized trials in terms of the rights of research subjects; on the other, researchers defended the trials with utilitarian arguments about the benefit to society. But as Rebecca Smith of ACT UP/New York and AmFAR, who became close to several of the biostatisticians, explained in a letter published in Science , the solution was precisely to find points of convergence between "the immediate short-term needs of people with AIDS" and the "long-term goals of medical research."[54] To the extent that methodological solutions could be engineered that would make all parties comfortable, people with AIDS and HIV infection would willingly participate in the trials and conform to the protocols, and scientific knowledge would be advanced.
Still, AIDS researchers often found this agenda threatening. At a 1990 community forum on clinical trials held in San Francisco, Donald Abrams commented: "My concern is we may never be able to study anything again to see if it works." But ACT UP/San Francisco member Michelle Roland argued at the same conference that perhaps the problem had less to do with any inherent limitations of science than with the ways in which doctors are socialized to imagine that clinical trials ought to be conducted. "We need to design realistic clinical trials that do a better job of meeting people's needs," said Roland, calling for a "revolution in clinical trial design." She acknowledged that such trials were "going to be more difficult to analyze. But we've got to do it."[55]
The biostatisticians at NIH proved to be an important ally in this struggle: they did not always agree with activists, but some of them also had their criticisms of biomedical researchers. In the view of these biostatisticians, the reliance of principal investigators on "overly narrow and unimaginative" rules for conducting clinical trials betrayed their failure to entirely comprehend the underlying statistical principles.[56] "Statisticians had been trying to say a lot of these things for years," Rebecca Smith recalled. "And we came along, and from a somewhat different perspective said a lot of them."[57] Or as Ellenberg put it: "What the activists wanted pretty much was what we wanted too, and what we had every confidence that we were eventually going to be able to pursuade the investigators of. …"[58]
At a panel discussion at the 1990 Annual Meeting of the Society for Clinical Trials to which Ellenberg invited activists, Jim Eigo explained the kinds of obstacles that stood in the way of carrying out effective AIDS research. "Investigators have traditionally had to deal with people
who are sick in a single way"; they therefore had been able to study the effect of a single drug on a single condition. But in the case of AIDS, where patients might be taking a range of drugs to treat their opportunistic infections, this was an "unreasonable preference" and one that had "made a shambles of the efforts to enroll AIDS clinical trials." Investigators routinely eliminated people who were on various medications and then found they could not fill their trials, explained Eigo, giving an example of recent trials for the antiviral drug ddI: at one New York site researchers had screened 150 people with AIDs and found only 3 who were "eligible" to participate in the study.[59]
The point was that activist had insights about "accrual" of subjects into studies and "compliance" with the conditions of studies, two of the most vexing issues for clinical investigators: What trials would patients sign up for? Under what conditions could patients be relied on to follow the study protocols? It wasn't that researchers couldn't speculate about the answers to these questions; as one prominent researcher, Douglas Richman, insisted: "It's not like we're completely out to lunch. We sit and we talk to the patients. We've got some incredibly good nurses at the study center who spend all their time with the patients and think about the inefficiencies and the problems with the protocols and why patients are not happy with some protocols and happy with others."[60] In practice, however, many researchers had tended to view accrual as essentially a technical problem and compliance as a management issue. From the investigators' standpoint, noncompliant subjects were "bad" subjects; from the activists' perspective, "noncompliance can be taken as a surrogate marker of the extent to which [doctors] have been able to explain things to patients." In fact, "if people don't comply," said Rebecca Smith, "that means they're not buying in, on some level."[61]
Activists, as the research subjects' representatives or as subjects themselves, possessed grounded knowledge that many researchers found valuable in the design of trials—"an extraordinary instinct … about what would work in the community," as Anthony Fauci summarized it, and "probably a better feel for what a workable trial was than the investigators [had]."[62] This was the expertise that researchers began to find attractive, and that made it worthwhile for activists to be invited onto the local community advisory boards and institutional review boards that oversaw protocols for clinical trials at hospitals and research centers. Furthermore, activists could work as intermediaries, helping to explain to people with AIDS and HIV exactly what a
clinical trial was and how one might decide whether to participate. Rebecca Smith considered one of her most important activist projects to be the production of a booklet called "Deciding to Enter an AIDS/ HIV Drug Trial."[63] Published by the AIDS Treatment Registry in New York, this booklet was designed precisely to give people with HIV the capacity to make an informed decision about whether to participate in clinical research. It offered an overview of the drug approval process, a glossary of terms, and a long checklist of questions that the potential research subject should consider.[64]

Unusual Boys' Names Ready To Pop
Last week we brought you our selection of rare girls' names destined for stardom; now we bring you our pick of unusual boys' names ready to climb the popularity ladder.These are names given to fewer than 100 boys last year in the U.S. But in Nameberry's analytics, we see them drawing twice as much attention as other names.What that means: No matter how unusual these names are by the numbers, they're attracting considerable buzz. And that's bound to translate over the coming years into usage for a lot more babies.
As with the girls' names, these names share much beyond their potential popularity. Most are ancient names, slumbering for centuries. While they hail from a range of cultures, a quorum are rooted in Ancient Rome or mythology. And as has been the trend with boys' names, how they end — in n, r, us, or o — seems to be more important to their fashion status than their first initial.
Here, 9 unusual boys' names we see ready to pop.

Cross link in the header.
If they are all related, it would be helpful to your users to see a bar with your links:

Using the domain name as the text link is not the optimal solution. But having a text link that reads "NYC Hotel Reservations" and goes to a domain that features that content, is an efffective method for improving the keyword phrase rank of the recieving site.
We often create a group of mini-sites (domains) to support businesses that have a multi-city presence. The sites typically have the same layout but different content (with respect to geography in this example). They all have their own link exchange structures (also related to the geography). Since each of the sites will have a decent rank for "Hotel Reservations" (without the city abbreviation), cross linking in the footer is an effective method for using some of that rank.
Posted 22 January 2009 - 12:18 AM
But if they're not there for users, then they shouldn't be there at all, period.
Google is looking for stuff that's in their users' best interest, remember?
Posted 23 January 2009 - 05:30 PM
Thankfully, the Google spider is an automated function and that provides us opportunities to maximize the SEO effect of less visible content.
This is a business where we need to do our best to improve keyword phrase rank, hopefully without compromising readable and/or the visitors experience.
I do agree that the Google SE is intended to find the best possible search results, but which result is the best is surely a subjective decision. Have you ever looked at all the Guthy-Renker sites? Give someone a big enough budget and they can get you a top 5 rank for ANY keyword. Where's the benefit to the end users in that?
SEO is about maximizing the impact of our clients limited budgets. And yes, that means not just building effective rank, but also ensuring good conversion rates which are direectly proportional to the quality of the content. If we need to add some cross linking at the bottom of the site, and it does not results in stuffing, we should do it even though it has little overall impact of the end user's experience...
Just my two cents...
Posted 24 January 2009 - 10:12 AM
So either you figured users would use them or not.
Certainly when I was newer at SEO I would do things to sites just because I thought they were good for SEO and not necessarily best for users. But you know what? You learn over time that those things typically don't work they way you expect them to, at least not for very long.
That's because Google wants to show the sites that are best for the searcher, not the sites that have the most SEO.

Posted 27 January 2009 - 11:49 PM
I agree with Jill, that some methods we fall in love with early on, may fail us later...this usually happens because we find a method that seems to produce a good result, and then push beyond the point of being reasonable.
Some things we do, like cross linking in a footer, probably fall somewhere in between a purely functional, user friendly approach and an overly agressive SEO technique. I have to admit, that we often stray more towards the latter until we see declining rank. Fortunately we monitor rank very carefully and we cannearly always find the offending modification and reverse it.
Realize that we are just dealing with the content side of this issue. Partner linking has so much more effect on the overall phrase rank picture.
I apologize for such long intervals between replies. For some reason I am not getting any email notifications of new posts. I will look into the problem.

Modular refrigeration is hot
Modular seems to be the buzzword in kitchens these days, and why shouldn't that flexibility extend to your refrigerator?

Philippe Petit
Philippe Petit | |
Petit at the 81st Academy Awards in February 2009
Born | Nemours, Seine-et-Marne, France |
13 August 1949
Occupation | High-wire artist |
Philippe Petit (French pronunciation: [filip pəti]; born 13 August 1949) is a French high-wire artist who gained fame for his high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, New York, on 7 August 1974.[1] For his feat (which he referred to as "le coup"[2]), he used a 450-pound (200-kilogram) cable and a custom-made 26-foot (8-metre) long, 55-pound (25-kilogram) balancing pole.
Early life[edit]
Petit was born in Nemours, Seine-et-Marne, France; his father, Edmond Petit, was an author and a former Army pilot. At an early age he discovered magic and juggling. At 16, he took his first steps on the wire. Petit learned everything by himself as he was being expelled from five different schools. "Within one year," he told a reporter, "I taught myself to do all the things you could do on a wire. I learned the backward somersault, the front somersault, the unicycle, the bicycle, the chair on the wire, jumping through hoops. But I thought, 'What is the big deal here? It looks almost ugly.' So I started to discard those tricks and to reinvent my art."[3] He also became adept at equestrianism, fencing, carpentry, rock-climbing and the art of bullfighting. Spurning circuses and their formulaic performances, on the sidewalks of Paris he created his street persona. In the early 1970s, he frequently juggled and worked on a slack rope in New York City's Washington Square Park.
Beginning in the 1970s, Petit began eyeing world-famous structures as stages for high-wire walks, which he executed as a combination of circus act and public performance. He performed his first such walk between the towers of the Notre Dame de Paris. In 1973, he walked a wire rigged between the two north pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in Sydney, Australia.[4]
World Trade Center walk[edit]
Petit's most famous work was his performance which he executed at the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) in Manhattan.
He was first inspired to attempt what he called his "coup" on the Twin Towers while he sat in his dentist's office in Paris in 1968. In a magazine, he came upon an article about the yet-to-be constructed buildings, along with an illustration of the model. At this time, Petit began collecting articles on the Towers whenever he was able to.
The "artistic crime of the century" took six years of planning, during which Petit learned everything he could about the buildings, taking into account such problems as the swaying of the towers because of wind, and how to rig the steel cable across the 200 ft (61 m) gap between the towers (at a height of 1,368 ft (417 m)). He traveled to New York on several occasions to make first-hand observations. Since the towers were still under construction, Petit and New York-based photographer Jim Moore went up in a helicopter to make aerial photographs of the trade center.[2] His friend Francis Brunn, the German juggler, provided financial support for the attempt and its planning.[5]
Petit snuck into the towers several times, hiding on the roof and other areas in the unfinished towers, in order to get a sense of what type of security measures were in place. Using his own observations and Moore's photographs, Petit was able to make a scale model of the towers to help him design the rigging he needed to prepare for the wirewalk. He made fake identification cards for himself and his collaborators (claiming that they were contractors who were installing an electrified fence on the roof) to gain access to the towers. Prior to this, to make it easier to get into the buildings, Petit carefully observed the clothes worn by construction workers and the kinds of tools they carried. He also took note of the clothing of office workers so that he could blend in with them when he tried to enter the buildings. He observed what time the workers arrived and left, so he could determine when he would have roof access. As the target date of his "coup" approached, he claimed to be a journalist with a French architecture magazine so that he could gain permission to interview the workers on the roof. The Port Authority allowed Petit to conduct the interviews, which he used as a pretext to make more observations. He was once caught by a police officer on the roof, and his hopes to do the high-wire walk were dampened, but he eventually regained the confidence to proceed.
On the night of Tuesday, 6 August 1974, Petit and his crew were able to ride in a freight elevator to the 104th floor with their equipment, and to store this equipment just nineteen steps from the roof. In order to pass the cable across the void, Petit and his crew had settled on using a bow and arrow. They first shot across a fishing line, and then passed larger and larger ropes across the space between the towers until they were able to pass the 450-pound steel cable across. Two cavaletti (guy lines) anchored to other points on the roof were used to stabilize the cable and keep the swaying of the wire to a minimum.[2]
On Wednesday, 7 August 1974, shortly after 7:15 a.m., Petit stepped off the South Tower and onto his 3/4" 6×19 IWRC (independent wire rope core[6]) steel cable. He walked the wire for 45 minutes, making eight crossings between the towers, a quarter of a mile above the sidewalks of Manhattan. In addition to walking, he sat on the wire, gave knee salutes and, while lying on the wire, spoke with a gull circling above his head.
As soon as Petit was observed by witnesses on the ground, the Port Authority Police Department dispatched officers to take him into custody. One of the officers, Sgt. Charles Daniels, later reported his experience:
I observed the tightrope 'dancer'—because you couldn't call him a 'walker'—approximately halfway between the two towers. And upon seeing us he started to smile and laugh and he started going into a dancing routine on the high wire....And when he got to the building we asked him to get off the high wire but instead he turned around and ran back out into the middle....He was bouncing up and down. His feet were actually leaving the wire and then he would resettle back on the wire again....Unbelievable really....Everybody was spellbound in the watching of it.[7]
Petit was warned by his friend on the South Tower that a police helicopter would come to pick him off the wire unless he got off. Rain had begun to fall, and Petit decided he had taken enough risks, so he decided to give himself up to the police waiting for him on the South Tower. He was arrested once he stepped off the wire. Provoked by his taunting behaviour while on the wire, police handcuffed him behind his back and roughly pushed him down a flight of stairs. This he later described as the most dangerous part of the stunt.[8]
His high-wire performance made headlines around the world. When asked why he did the stunt, Petit would say, "When I see three oranges, I juggle; when I see two towers, I walk."
Although movie cameras were on the roof during the walk, the person who was supposed to film the walk did not do so, apparently due to exhaustion from pulling the heavy cable tight after some of it had fallen, creating slack while the rigging was being set up.[9]
The extensive news coverage and public appreciation of Petit's high-wire walk resulted in all formal charges relating to his walk being dropped[10] in exchange for what was supposed to be a free show of juggling for a few children in Central Park. Instead, he transformed it into another high-wire walk, in the Park above Belvedere Lake (which has now become Turtle Pond). Petit was also presented with a lifetime pass to the Twin Towers' Observation Deck by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He autographed a steel beam close to the point where he began his walk.
Petit's high-wire walk is credited with bringing the then rather unpopular Twin Towers much needed attention and even affection.[11][12] Up to that point, critics such as historian Lewis Mumford had regarded them as ugly and utilitarian. The Port Authority was having trouble renting out all of the Towers' office space.[11]
Sandi Sissel filmed the original act and released it as the cinema verité documentary, High Wire (1984), with music derived from Philip Glass's Glassworks.
The documentary film Man on Wire by UK director James Marsh, about Petit's 1974 WTC performance, won both the World Cinema Jury and Audience awards at the Sundance Film Festival 2008. The film also won awards at the 2008 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina, and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. Petit was on stage to help accept the award, making a coin vanish in his hands while thanking the Academy "for believing in magic" and then balanced the Oscar by its head on his chin to cheers from the audience.[13]
Later life[edit]
Petit has made dozens of public high-wire performances in his career; in 1986 he re-enacted the crossing of the Niagara River by Blondin for an Imax film. In 1989, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, mayor Jacques Chirac invited him to walk a wire strung from the ground, at the Place du Trocadéro, to the second level of the Eiffel Tower.
Petit briefly headlined with the Ringling Brothers Circus, but circus life did not agree with him. It was during his stint with the circus that he suffered his only fall, from 45 feet (14 m) during a practice walk, breaking several ribs. He says he has never fallen during a performance. "If I had, I wouldn't be here."[14]
Petit regularly gives lectures and workshops internationally on a variety of topics and subjects. He single-handedly built a barn in the Catskill Mountains using the methods and tools of the 18th-century timber framers;[citation needed] and currently,[when?] he is working on his eighth book, A Square Peg. He has also created an ebook for TED Books entitled Cheating the Impossible: Ideas and Recipes from a Rebellious High-Wire Artist.
Among his friends who have associated themselves with some of his projects are such diverse artists as: Mikhail Baryshnikov, Werner Herzog, Annie Leibovitz, Miloš Forman, Volker Schlöndorff, Twyla Tharp, Peter Beard, Marcel Marceau, Paul Auster, Paul Winter, Debra Winger, Robin Williams and Sting.[citation needed] Director James Signorelli assisted with the creation of the book To Reach the Clouds.[15]
Petit has been presented with the James Park Morton Interfaith Award, the Streb Action Maverick Award, The Byrdcliff Award, is the recipient of the New York Historical Society Award and was made Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. Petit shares his time between New York City where he is an artist in residence at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and a hideaway in the Catskills.

I am a proud alumnus of North Adams State College. For as long as I can remember, it has always been a good place to receive a good education. Known back in my day as the "teacher's college" for its role as a learning center to earn teaching degrees and Massachusetts public school teaching certifications, it has long since blossomed past those humble roots.
Several members of my family, including my youngest son, are also proud graduates of the school. So, my family certainly has a deep respect for North Adams' small public liberal arts college.
Rebranding the school as a liberal arts college and renaming it the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts at first stung a little for some of us alumnae who were perfectly at ease with the school's historic name and place. But they have proven to be good decisions, which along with many other improvements, have nurtured and strengthened the school under the stewardship of President Mary Grant. Her time at MCLA is regarded as an unqualified success.
But in the midst of all of this good news and unarguable success, the school's administration has made a very bizarre decision. They are soon going to allow the MCLA on-campus security force to carry firearms while they are on duty.
Somehow, someone associated with the security department at MCLA has managed to convince the powers-that-be that it makes sense for its nine-member force to be armed with the capability for lethal response. MCLA is a relatively small place. There isn't much campus to patrol.
Even if you throw in the athletic complex on West Shaft Road on game days, there still isn't too heavy a burden. It's tough to understand why the MCLA campus officers can't continue to safely patrol the campus, as they have for decades, without the benefit of a pistol on their belt. And, just like any other college campus in America, when the extremely rare occasion has developed where more crowd control was required, the NAPD and Massachusetts State Police have always been able to quickly and professionally set things right.
What's different? What's happened that suddenly requires MCLA campus cops to carry pistols? The campus crime rate certainly hasn't gone up. The most recent figures available through the college's own web site show a whopping 12 crimes were committed on campus in 2010. Two were robberies, one was an aggravated assault, and nine were burglaries. For this we need an armed response?
Another argument that's been made for arming MCLA officers concerns defending against the horrific campus and public shootings which have occurred in recent times. But in almost every one of these tragedies, the damage is done long before armed response is even possible. And it's difficult to imagine quarterly trained campus officers who encounter 12 crimes a year being psychologically prepared to successfully shoot it out with a heavily armed madman.
The most troubling aspect of this push to arm MCLA officers is that none of the population they serve wants to see it happen. The student government association (and again, these statistics are all available on the college's website) voted against it 68 percent to 32 percent. The faculty association conducted two informal surveys, and the vote was against it 93 percent to 7 percent in the first and 87 percent to 13 percent in the second. The closest vote took place amongst the administrators, but even they were against it 44 percent to 42 percent, with 15 percent holding no opinion.
So, on a small, nearly non-violent rural New England college campus in a small rural New England community, where most of the people who will be most affected by the decision themselves disapprove of the idea, the campus security force will now carry handguns.
It's not too late to reverse this bad and dangerous decision. It will make no one safer. Instead it could destroy, in just one misguided second, all of the good work done for so many years by so many people at MCLA.

Tailgate Grilling
So, I have this brother in law who is a huge sports fan! He goes to every sporting even possible. Sometimes, he shows up the night before the event and waits in the parking lot with a bunch of other fanatics that he doesn't know. For some reason, he always shows up ill-prepared, but I am going to fix that for him!
This Urban Grill Set is fabulous! I mean, you wouldn't even necessarily need a tailgate to use this. It would also be great as a gift for folks who have a place at the beach, storing easily over the winter. I think I'll have to get one for my other brother-in-law who has a motor-home. So many gifts, so little time…

In fact the -- Asian go to the private markets look.
Social Security was demagogue by the -- Democrats for fifty years when -- -- -- reporter.
Some fifty years ago Goldwater was handed his head when he mentioned Social Security structural reform.

At Bozeman High School on Wednesday night, Butte came out raining three pointers on the Bozeman Hawks and upset them 65-57. Dallas Cook, Cory Farstveet and Peter Granger all went bombs away to take a 13 point lead. Bozeman came back to tie, but Butte dominated the fourth quarter to win 65-57 and eliminate third seeded Bozeman from the playoffs.
In the Girls game, Billings West dominated the board and shut down Bozeman's usually high scoring offense to beat the Hawks 43-34.

Throughout the ages thinkers have raised the question of what the human being ought to learn in order to be in tune with his own epoch, to live intelligently in society, and to be a citizen bringing benefit both to himself and to the community; hence the importance of education. It is the aim of education which takes precedence, only then come the means to realize these aims. The following article aims at presenting the theory of education of the Muslim philosopher and scholar Abu Nasr al-Farabi within the framework of his philosophical system, an aspect of his work not frequently hit upon in the scholarship.
This study presents the theory of education in the philosophy of Ibn Sina, considered by ancient and modern scholars alike as the most famous of the Muslim philosophers. In his philosophical system, Ibn Sina outlined a complete theory of education and teaching. Departing from his view of the human being and of the relationship between the mental faculties and the body, and from a precise conception of knowledge and ethics, Ibn Sina's educational theory deals with the aims of education, the educational stages and the teaching methods for different classes of age, from infants to higher instruction of teeangers, with a focus on the teaching of girls.

Woody Harrelson as Dave Brown, a member of an embattled LAPD division.
Woody Harrelson brings the heat in
Rampart, a nasty L.A.- noir character study.
The problem is that writer and director Oren Moverman (The Messenger) and co-screenwriter James Ellroy don't bring much light to Dave Brown, the
corrupt Los Angeles cop Harrelson channels with such toxic intensity. Brown is a bitter, tiresomely
self-destructive Johnny One-Note, so busy wallowing in his own racism, misogyny and substance abuse
that he can barely make time for his equally passionate commitment to self-pity.
In fact Dave — whose peers jokingly call him "Date Rape," in honor of his killing a serial
rapist — is such a wearyingly contemptuous and contemptible character that it's difficult to
explain why viewers would want to spend more than a minute with him. That
Rampart is watchable at all is due to Harrelson, who appears in every scene and compels
attention like a human billy club, his hateful arias and bladelike physicality reminiscent of
Travis Bickle at his most passionate and self-deceiving.
Some of the folks Dave crosses paths with are a sexually needy lawyer played by a Robin
Wright (incandescent as usual), and two ex-wives — who happen to be sisters — with whom he still
lives, along with their daughters. (The long-suffering exes are played with unflappable steadiness
by Cynthia Nixon and Anne Heche.) That domestic setup — wherein he regularly, pathetically begs one
of the women to sleep with him — exemplifies the contradictions that bedevil
Rampart which, when it's not pretending to disapprove of Dave's most politically incorrect
excesses, plays like a male wish fulfillment fantasy at its most tawdry and subtly valorizing.
The film's title refers to the embattled LAPD division Dave works in, which was subject to a
real-life case of systemic corruption in the 1990s, when the film is set. Presumably, Moverman and
Ellroy created Dave as the embodiment of the outfit's worst pseudo-macho excesses.
It's interesting that
Rampart is coming out at the same moment lawyer Connie Rice is promoting a memoir
recalling her own efforts to hold L.A.'s gangs, politicians and police department accountable
during the Rampart era. She's a character ripe for big-screen hero worship, but for now, the story
we keep telling ourselves — and the one inspiring performances as astonishing as Harrelson's — is

I love everything about this necklace, which is why I kept it, except for one thing: it should be longer. It's a look that is out there - the larger marine links - but this one doesn't look cheap, and it adds a lot of style.

The final version of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is here! Microsoft Corp. posted the final SP1 package of updates today, and it's now available free for everyone. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) 32-bit version (434.5 MB) | 64-bit version (726.5 MB) Source: Microsoft
thats good to know that its finally here. ive been out of the loop on this though. so what are the improvements really? edit: actually ill just read the details on download page.
Wonder if this is the same version as the "1840" ones on the torrent sites everyone has been saying is real. Anyone know if this version can be slipstreamed and/or an official link to a pre-integrated iso? Cheers.
i updated using windows update it was a small file basically coz i install every update and check for new ones everyday no noticeable improvements maybe faster boot speed but mostly under the hood stuff i recomend using windows update because you might have some of the files included in this already installed via windows update
It won't show under my Vista UPdate.... Soo Im donwloading the Stand Alone Right now. Just a quick question, does this effect Pirated Versions of Vista cause if sooo my friends is in deep shit, I'll need to warn him lol or maybe not.
i've had the 1840 version for a while now (yes i got it off torrents) as i used it to test compatibility while i had a spare machine. These files linked are the same size, so i assume they are the same files. SP1 did not seem to have issues with the dell version/system i tested it on. Gaming was DEFINATELY smoother, i play supreme commander daily and noticed a lot less HDD chugging during the game - alt tabbing was a lot smoother as well (it no longer seems to page the game to the HDD and lag when coming back, it was instaneous) obviously that was just the one (arguable) test, but its favorable to me so far
Ok I got an "Internal Error Code While Installing Service Pack." window. Error Code 0x800700D See "some web site I don't want to list" Anyone have a clue what to do... Please I really want to install this.
MS have added blocks for many cracks (timestopper etc) However instead of locking you out totally, it just cuts back access and gives you annoying popups now. If you REALLY want to try with a cracked version, at least you wont lose data for doing so. (personally i tried it with a cracked vista on a test machine, just to make sure my software worked with it - i had no problems, although i only tested for 24 hours)
Sorry I was gone Now I'm back, no no Daemon Tools, I also read that to after Googleing. I do have PowerISO and MagicISO could those also cause my Issue?
