OLYMPIA – Aug. 10, 2012 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission invites the public to two events highlighting the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park in Grant County. A book signing and interpretive program featuring local expert and author John Soennichsen will take place on Aug. 18 within Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park, 34875 Park Lake Road N.E. in Coulee City. Soennichsen will share his knowledge about the Channeled Scablands in eastern Washington and the geologic history of the area. The book signing runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at Dry Falls Visitor Center. The interpretive program will feature a multimedia presentation by Soennichsen at 9 p.m. in the Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park amphitheater. The Discover Pass is required for vehicle access to the event. John Soennichsen is the author of "Bretz Floods" and the recently released, "Washington's Channeled Scablands." Local to the Spokane area, Soennichsen lives alongside the scabland channel just outside of Cheney. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Oregon and a master of fine arts degree in creative writing from Eastern Washington University. More information about his works may be found at www.johnsoennichsen.weebly.com. Dry Falls Visitor Center is located two miles north of the Sun Lake-Dry Falls State Park entrance on Highway 17. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 1 to Oct. 31. Admission is free, with donations accepted. For more information about Dry Falls Visitor Center, visit www.parks.wa.gov/stewardship/dryfalls. Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park is a 4,027-acre camping park with 73,640 feet of freshwater shoreline at the foot of Dry Falls. Dry Falls is a geological wonder of North America. Carved by Ice Age floods, the former waterfall is now a stark cliff, 400 feet high and 3.5 miles wide. In its heyday, the waterfall was four times the size of Niagara Falls. Today, it overlooks a desert oasis filled with lakes and abundant wildlife.

Mozilla Firefox has hicckups: 300 plugins, way too much!
Yup! I've tried it, but experiment has failed! It seems that installing 300 plugins in Mozilla Firefox causes a real mess to the poor software! The idea has come from Splasho (100 plugins) and CyberNotes (200 plugins). When I've read that, I immediately thought : Why not try to install 300? :asd: Read more about the experiment!

As you and your child steer through these years together, expect some difficulties along the way. You'll both make mistakes, but you can learn from them. Keep in mind that many "problems" of children in this age group are just a phase. They're just a normal part of growing up.
Children in this age bracket tend to have lives that revolve around friends and school. They may be social and talkative, even when they're not supposed to be. It may be annoying, but this type of behavior is often a brief phase. Children test the rules to find out just how far they can go. This is true whether a child's parents go to work or not.
As they get older, children begin to get around by themselves. They may go to school and after-school programs without an adult. This can ease some of the pressure of child care for you, but it may mean new concerns. The new concerns can include dangerous strangers, traffic safety or unfriendly dogs.
Encourage your child to talk to you about their travels from place to place. Ask them to tell you about anything that has happened. Teach your child how to recognize "good" strangers (such as police officers) and "bad" strangers. Tell them to stick with groups of friends, and to obey traffic rules.
If a supervised after-school program is not available, you may worry whether your child is okay at home alone. Does the child feel scared or lonely? You and your child will feel safer if you have a set of rules and a schedule. A check-in call to you or another responsible adult each day can help, too. While each child is unique, experts generally agree that by age 11 or 12, a child may be able to stay home alone during the day for no more than three hours. This is provided the area is safe, he or she has an emergency contact and is ready to handle to responsibility.

Forecasters tell ABC 4 for the next week, low temperatures in the Salt Lake Valley will be hovering around zero degrees. That can be a dangerous combination when you add all the snow covering the roads.
You may have thought shoveling snow off your driveway was bad enough.
"This is one of the bigger storms we've had," said Brian Fullmer while shoveling his driveway.
"No fun, not a lot of fun," said Brooke Clark while shoveling her driveway.
But the fun's not over yet. Forecasters predict more snow is on the way and temperatures will plummet. So if you had it rough driving through Utah's recent winter wonderland, you may struggle even more this weekend.
UDOT knows it all too well.
"When you get cold temperatures like this, salt becomes less effective and snow can pile up and so that makes our job a little more challenging because we have to be out there non-stop," said John Gleason, UDOT spokesperson.
911 operators are also planning to go non-stop. When the temperature drops their calls go up, answering everything from house fires to medical emergencies.
"It'll continue to ramp up as well, because we'll continue to have those types of accidents and injuries that'll happen when (people) are out there in the weather," said Mike Veenendaal, Fire Operations Manager, Valley Emergency Communications Center.
So if your biggest problem is shoveling the walk, maybe it's not as bad as you thought.
"Maybe I'll call the Boy Scouts, they do this don't they?" joked Clark.

Holton Opening Reception
Sorry for the absence these past few weeks - I haven't been painting really, but have been kept busy with Stuff. Gotta take care of Stuff sometimes, else you just accumulate paintings and run out of money. And the grass (ok, weeds) keeps growing, paperwork keeps growing, the inbox keeps growing... you get the idea. This time of year is especially loathsome due to taxes and allergies (allergic to taxes) In the middle of it all, I got sick, and lost some time I didn't have in the first place.
But life goes on, and it's not all obstacles, you know. The opening reception for my two-person show with Kevin Courter happened on March 27th, and that was a fabulous good time! Lots of people showed up and the vibe was very good. The show looks great all hung together and presented in Tim Holton's Early California style frames. Frames do make a difference. A huge difference. The show will be up for a couple of months (till May 29), so if you get a chance, please go check it out.
Carole Gray-Weihman, Kim Lordier and Kevin.
That's me on the left, and Jim Crandall on the right.
Bill Cone and I contemplating skyholes and diffraction. Or something. We may have been talking about food. I don't know.
There were a lot of friends at the opening and I wish I could spend more time with everyone but alas, time was limited. A big thank you to everyone who came and made this opening a very special event! I wish, too I had more pictures but as is typical, I barely remember to take the ones I did. If anyone has photos from the show, please email them to me~
I did get a chance to meet and chat a little bit with Alfred Harrison of North Point Gallery. Besides being the owner of his gallery, Alfred is a noted art historian and author of many books and articles on Early California art. Alfred, Kevin, and I will be having a panel discussion on the topic of the tradition of California landscape painting later this month at the Holton Studio. (info to come) I hope you all can make it. Hopefully, I won't sound like an idiot next to Alfred and Kevin. I may be resigned to comic relief. Haha~
But seriously, I think it'll be a very interesting discussion. With plein air painting becoming as popular as it has in recent years, I think a look back at its California roots would be insightful and educational for anyone interested in landscape painting. I certainly am looking forward to learning some new things from this panel discussion!

Congratulations on the grand opening of the show. Nice to know that the going is good. I would love to be there but there are thousands of miles and two mighty oceans separating me from them. I guess I'd have to be satisfied with viewing them in a web browser.

News Release
Volleyball Finishes Weekend Conference Road Trip With Four-Set Defeat at Albany
Hannah Schmidt notched her team-leading seventh double-double of the season at Albany |
ALBANY, NY � Sophomore Hannah Schmidt (Catonsville, Md./Mount de Sales) compiled her team leading seventh double-double of the season, but it was not enough as the Retrievers dropped a four-set contest (25-19, 18-25, 25-20, 25-15) Sunday to defending America East champion Albany at University Gymnasium. Schmidt�s 13 kills and 10 digs were her third double-double in four matches. UMBC (9-13, 2-3 AE) jumped out to a 6-2 lead in the first set, but Albany (7-11, 4-0 AE) rallied to take a 9-7 lead on a kill by Samantha Brostrom. Senior Ali Loynachan (Whitby, Ontario/Sinclair) answered with a kill of her own to bring the Black and Gold within one at 9-8, but that would be the closest the Retrievers would get. The second set began with the teams trading points, until senior Katie Kelly (Diamond Bar, Calif./Diamond Bar) buried a kill that started a 4-0 rally, and the Retrievers would build their lead to as much as 10 on two occasions en route to the set victory. Freshman Krystal Mlemchukwu (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech) sparked UMBC as she recorded five of her team-high 18 kills in that second set. The third set was similar to the second as both teams traded points, leading to a 5-5 tie early on, but junior Mallory McIntyre (Winnepeg, Manitoba/St. Mary�s Academy) got two aces to give UMBC an 8-5 lead. Albany would call time-out and eventually would go on a 4-0 run to take an 13-11 advantage, a lead the Great Danes would not relinquish. Albany jumped all over UMBC in the fourth set, leading by as much as 11 when a Traci Vandegrift kill extended the Great Dane lead to 20-9. McIntyre had 10 of her match-leading 50 assists for UMBC in the final set. The Retrievers get a week off before hosting Stony Brook at the RAC Arena next Sunday at 2 p.m.

Spring Quarter Results: Sun Vague, Intel Pale
Sun and Intel have presented their quarterly figures for the second three-month period of 2009.
In the past three months, Oracle's acquisition Sun lost over one billion dollars in revenue. The spring of 2008 had stood at $3.8 billion, while the figure for 2009 was $2.6 billion. The loss was about 10 cents per share, with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) adjusting the loss to 30 cents per share. Sun's preliminary quarterly report falls short because the company wants to migrate its results into the annual report in August, their fiscal year having ended June 30. It will be interesting to see how the hardware sales figures, which were already down in the last quarter, have developed, and that their hopes for open source as a growth engine aren't being dashed.
Intel has provided its second quarter results of their fiscal year running January through December. Their revenue grew around $800 million since the first quarter to eight billion dollars. The chipmaker celebrates that this is their strongest growth factor from a first to second quarter since 1988, as loosely quoted from CEO Paul Otellini. What he didn't emphasize was that the second quarter figures are still $1.5 million less than that of a year ago. The loss is still only in the millions range when GAAP rules are applied. Before GAAP, with certain amortizations and income from corporate capital investments figured in, Intel actually gained a million dollars. Before GAAP, earnings per share gained 18 cents; after GAAP, the loss was seven cents.
The chipmaker attributes its pale quarterly results partly to its investment in new technologies and ideas. Early June, Intel bought embedded Linux specialist Wind River. Early April, it invested in the automotive industry by promoting the Moblin open source platform.

USA Canoe/Kayak Team Designates HotelPlanner.com Official Hotel Reservations Partner
New U.S. paddler Fabien Lefevre (Bethesda, Md.) won the Bronze medal in the Men's Kayak (K-1) Saturday at the 2013 Slalom World Cup No. 1. The two-time Olympic medalist for France improved from 16th after heats and 5th after the semifinals with a penalty-free final run time of 89.14, which was 2.03 seconds behind the Gold medalist Fabien Doerfler of Germany.
Ryan Padilla was a professional snowboarder. Joshua Wold was an Army Ranger sniper. Both men would go on to represent the U.S. at the 2012 Paracanoe World Championships.
The International Canoe Federation (ICF) Canoe Slalom World Championships will be held in the Deep Creek Lake area of Garrett County, Maryland in September 2014.
Congratulations to Bria Cornforth, Azusa Murphy, Jake Tayman and Kenny Kasperbauer on this major accomplishment!
Eighteen teams from seven states and Canada converged on San Marcos, Texas, Oct. 19-21 for the 14th annual tournament, which crowns the U.S. National Champions.
The U.S. has not sent a sprint canoeist to the Olympics for two Games, since Jordan Malloch and Nate Johnson competed in the C2 1000m at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. A trio of young "high-kneelers" hope to change that in 2016.
USA Canoe/Kayak would like to recognize Henry K. Krawczyk for his continued and dedicated contributions to the Olympic sport of Canoe/Kayak with the lifetime achievement award.
The volunteer position was created to facilitate communication between USA Canoe/Kayak and the Deep Creek 2014 host organizing committee.
The USA C/K Annual Membership Meeting occurs in the fall of each year. This is an opportunity for all current USA C/K members to have a voice in the governance of the association.

Canadian Valentine's gifts as cliché as Cupid
They say it's the thought that counts on Valentine's Day – and Canadians seem to share a hive mind when it comes to the romantic occasion.
A Wednesday report by BMO Economics finds the gift-giving cliches of Cupid's big day continue to run deep, with jewellery, fragrances, cosmetics, flowers and candy all surging in February. The month-over-month gains, which average between 15 and 28 per cent, are especially noteworthy in light of a retail environment that otherwise flounders at this time.
"The fact that we saw such strong job growth at the tail end of 2012, and that consumer confidence increased in January for the first time in months, bodes well for Valentine sales," said Jennifer Lee, senior economist with BMO Capital Markets.
A survey for Walmart Canada indicates that the average Valentine's spend this year will top $170, with cards and candy being the most-purchased items. Heather Evans, an expert on the holiday, describes shoppers as trained creatures of habit.
"All of it originates with a push by those industries, as early as the 19th century, to sell products," said Evans, a professor of English at Queen's University. "It was a haphazard development, in some ways, as there's nothing inherent in chocolate or flowers to associate them specifically with this day."
The Retail Council of Canada reports that just 22 per cent of Valentine spending will occur outside the stereotypical romance categories. This is consistent with BMO's analysis, wherein retail's average seasonal drop of 4.4 per cent in February is in sharp contrast with spikes in Valentine staples.
For the past 16 Februaries, jewellery and watch sales experienced an average increase over January of 28 per cent, while cosmetics and fragrances have soared by 20 per cent. Candy, in recent years, has similarly enjoyed a Valentine's nudge of 15 per cent, as has the floral category (UPS, for instance, reported that an estimated 95 million flowers would move through its logistics network in the weeks leading up to Feb. 14).
"There's a certain comfort in falling back on familiar patterns," said Evans. "As much as we're media savvy and all want to think we're individuals, we're still like little sheep, eager to be part of the general collective."
It's a reasonable explanation for a retail phenomenon that defies reason.
Chocolate, for instance, has long enjoyed a reputation as an aphrodisiac. And while that image isn't unfounded, Cynthia Kuhn – a professor at Duke University's school of medicine – says "it would take about 50 chocolate bars to cause a behavioural arousal, and your romantic partner might regret the experiment."
As for lingerie – the gift that's made many a woman cling to hope that love is blind – it may not be as favoured for Valentine's as previously thought. The Retail Council of Canada anticipates that lingerie will account for a scant six per cent of Valentine's spending among consumers with kids, and just three per cent for those without children.
This dovetails with an analysis by NPD Group that shows the only sector of intimates that saw a first-quarter boost in 2012 was plus-sized undergarments (up 20 per cent in sales). And even so, this was likely due to self-purchases.
"Because lots of new styles come out at the beginning of the year, particularly around Valentine's Day, plus-size shoppers are eager to scoop these items up while the selection is at its most robust," said Tracey Jarosz, NPD's executive director for Canada Fashion. "Regular sizes are more readily available, therefore the consumers who wear them don't feel the same sense of urgency when new stock hits the shelves."

Cameras: We recommend to bring a small camera that can be taken in a pocket, a waist/hip bag or in the saddle bag. Large camera equipment we can not allow on the horses for security reasons. Tours are operated with a free running herd - at speed of tölt or trot for most of the day. We take breaks to relax the horses and then it is possible to take pictures. While on the horse taking pictures is rather difficult since the horses are constantly moving. Because of the herd instinct it is not possible to stop an individual horse, they all will follow each other. You can leave larger Digital SLR with your luggage at the farm or put it in their luggage that will be transferred to the new accommodation.
You should be ready for all kinds of weather as it can change very quickly. We provide you with good rain-clothes, a riding helmet and a sleeping bag. Also a saddle bag (where you can keep the picnic lunch, a small camera, extra pair of gloves etc.).
Normal street-clothes are not necessary except for your stay in Reykjavík before or after the tour.
We recommend not too much luggage on the tour and you can leave extra luggage at the guesthouse if you want to.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On Saturday, April 21, the Duval County Food Policy Council will host the inaugural Duval County Food Policy Summit at the Schultz Center for Teaching and Leadership. The summit will bring key players within the food system together for a public conversation. The goal of the summit is to identify solutions that can improve the quality and accessibility of healthy food for people living in Duval County.
The program will run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an opening reception planned for Friday, April 20. The summit is titled: "A Balancing Act: Access to Fresh and Healthy Food for All."
Anyone interested in learning about how food influences our community's overall health is invited to attend the summit. Cost is $5. Tickets can be ordered online.
Second Harvest Executive Director Bruce Ganger and Vice President for Advancement Karen Rieley have helped organize the event, in partnership with more than 70 other local organizations over the past year. Ganger currently serves as chairman of the Duval County Food Policy Council, a group that brings together stakeholders from diverse food-related sectors to examine how the food system is operating and to develop recommendations on how to improve it.
"This event is the next step in a community-based effort to ensure a quality food system leading to better health for all people in our county," Ganger said. "Second Harvest is involved because we believe the food bank plays an important role in ensuring that the Jacksonville community has access to healthy and affordable food."
The summit will include local and national perspectives on the food system, interaction with key players in the Duval County food system and post-conference resources to keep the community on the right path to a healthier lifestyle. In addition, attendees can uncover the challenges and opportunities to bringing healthy food to all members of a community, learn how to advocate for greater access to fresh and healthy food, discover how simple, tasty and affordable eating healthy food can be, exchange tips and resources to incorporate healthy food into their routine, and engage with child experts regarding the health benefits of good nutrition.
For more information about the event, or to register, click here.
When: Saturday, April 21, 2012 – 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Posted February 19, 2013
I had great hopes for these clamps, they looked sturdy and came at a great price. During the first use, the clamp broke after one full turn of the handle. Just as I was passing one revolution on the turn-screw, the aluminum base just above two rivets sheared off exposing what appeared to be some pot metal looking aluminum. I used the clamp to squash two endboards together pinned with a domino. I tried the 2nd clamp but the foot that slides on the rail failed to catch. In the workshop you can never have enough clamps but you might want to consider the type of work you'll use with these prior to buying.

Posted August 27, 2012
I have about 25 of the older blue anodized models of this clamp, all 3 lengths, and have been using them for about 12 years with no issues at all. Recently I purchased 4 of the new models with the painted black clamps. I've found them to be of less quality. The pin that holds the spring loaded locking device pushed through the magnesium. Unrepairable. The springs fall out, I don't know why. just not the clamp it used to be. Wish I could find some more of the old style to buy.
I have about 30 of these...
Posted March 21, 2012
I have about 30 of these in my shop, I love the platform they provide for strip laminating. Glue build up can bind the rear adjustment, but sliding it back forth on the rail a couple times breaks all the glue build up off. The clamp itself can bind on the bottom of rail, but you can slide it forward with a finger, no big deal. My main issue is the clamping force that can be applied. The threaded mechanism by the handle is magnesium, or something, and weak for a clamp. If you do over tighten, it will break, but Rockler has replaced all my broken clamps. If you do use the extensions, the are even easier to break. Overtime they will bow. On several of my 24" clamps there is a good 1/2" rise in the center of the rail. For my applications I like the clamp, the frequent sale prices are tough to pass up.

As you may all know I finally got my RMA'ed Corsair H100 back after a super long 60 days (Long Story). Now for some reason ever since I installed it something within my PC smells like burning. I checked everything inside my PC with a flash light and it all looks fine. Now is it possible for a FAN to start smelling like burn? When it's starting to die or something? The Motherboard looks great and I am only having this issue ever since I installed the H100. One of my CoolerMaster 120mm fans sort of makes a weird noise on start up then it goes away. I think that may be the issue, but not sure. Please Advise
Run the CPU at default clocks and remove the fan that you think is causing the problem. If the burning smell dissipates than you found your issue and you will need to get another fan.
If the case can afford it cooling-wise, you could unplug the fan and see if you don't smell it anymore. H3LLSMAN beat me to it.
Are you running a lot of fans on 1 controller or thru one molex plug? That may cause that line to run hot and may cause an odor
Also if you can get your nose in there carefully and see if you can pin point where the smell is coming from.
Thank guys, I am running 4 x 120mm fans via the H100's onboard fan controller (Push/Pull). I am also running the fans on low. My CPU temps are around 16-18C idle, but OCed and under stress testing load around 46C. Used to be around 58C though, so I assume the thermal paste setinfinally. Tomorrow I will try what everybody suggested. Also I did stick my nose in the case, but the fans keep blowing the smell around eventually blowing out at the rear of the case.
Good point, burning smell is a sign that some component is being run outside spec. Might need to add a high amp fan controller and not run them all off the H100, if the other suggestion do not work out.
Is there anything else running on that line? Probably a good idea to dedicate one line off the PSU just for the H100 (pump, controller, and fans)... run everything else on a separate line if that's the case. Don't know if that's your problem but it's a good place to start.
That suck's SuperXp, getting good advice here. Hopefully you can narrow down the problem and it aint anything serious. YGPM
I have a couple of 120mm fans on a little molex train, is this a big concern? I can make out a faint odor at the exhaust but I can't tell if it's a burny smell or if it's just that "electronics" smell.
I don't think a couple of fans will cause you any overload issues.... that being said, if you have odor, it should be checked. You have a lot of hardware in your case, I would check your component temps first to see if anything is running especially hot.
Sometimes the chemicals given off by new components can be quite smelly, so it's possible that it's nothing more than that. My new car for example, was positively trying to fumigate me when it was new and I almost choked on it. So much so, that I stopped by the side of the road and lifted the bonnet. That odour eventually went away. How long ago did you fit the replacement H100? That should help us to gauge this.
CPU, motherboard, and GPU temps are all good and the volts are within 0.07 of set value. The smell doesn't increase at 100% 64bit Linpack load so I'm assuming I'm just paranoid over the actual cost of everything in it. Am I correct in assuming a burning smell would be noticed when entering the (small) room?
@Qubit- I think his H100 has only been in for a week or so... just got it back from RMA (SuperXP wrote that in another thread but I don't remember which one) How new is your setup? As Qubit said sometimes chemicals in the components off-gas for a while. I installed a carpet in the basement when we bought our house and it took almost a week for the carpet to finish off-gassing and the smell to go away. Almost anything can cause an odor.... best practice would probably be to keep a watchful eye on your rig for awhile to see it gets better/worse/stays the same. It may something as simple as a little bit of dust heating up on top of your Revodrive You may want to be a little cautious leaving the rig on while away until you check it out a little further
Did the build in mid 2010, having swapped some components along the way, most recently I replaced a defective PSU. I only notice it when I shove my nose into a fan or into the case, like I said I'm probably paranoid My aunt woke up one morning, hit the power switch and BANG!, the fuse tripped and her computer released a small puff of smoke. Being the bright individual she is, she walked right over to the fuse box and pushed it back. BANG! With a bigger puff of smoke and a louder bang, the main fuse, rated at 63 amps/15000 watts, tripped. I haven't experienced any burning computers but she described a very harsh smell.
O.K. I unplugged the fan which I originally though was the issue and played Left 4 Dead 2 for 1 hr with full CPU and GPU OC and with fans running on low. 18C min and 37C Max was my CPU reading. After the 1hr I don't smell the burning to the extreme anymore, just a very faint smell. Perhaps my case now needs to be aired out or something. So far so good, I will continue checking for a smell just to make sure by running a intense game benchmark tomorrow after work. Thank you very much all for your help. Yes it was the Corsair H100 thread where we were talking about several of them were defective and the motors would either crap out and/or the onboard fan controller would stop working. Anyhow I made the mistake by RMA'ing it in just before the Christmas Holiday, and ended up getting my replacement approx: 60 days later At least Corsair sent me a Sealed Brand new, so now I have two boxes with all the extra accessories.

Insanity plea explored for fired Columbus cop in drug case
His lawyer asks court to assess medical basis

A former Columbus police detective might intend to plead not guilty by reason of insanity to
federal charges of attempted distribution of heroin, carrying a gun during a drug-trafficking crime
and money laundering.
Stevie Billups, 48, was a Columbus police officer for nearly 22 years until he was fired last
Yesterday, his attorney, Mark C. Collins, filed a motion asking U.S. District Court to assess
whether there would be a medical basis for such a plea.
"Defense counsel's interviews with the defendant and defendant's family indicate the issue of
competency and a potential plea is relevant," the motion says.
A federal complaint against Billups says he became involved with a suspected drug dealer
during frequent gambling trips to Hollywood Casino Columbus.
The drug suspect, as part of a sting operation by the FBI, had Billups protect him while he
picked up an illegal-drug payment and a car said to be loaded with heroin, the complaint says.
The complaint also says that Billups bought more than $100,000 worth of chips at Hollywood
Casino in less than a year and had been there more than 100 times, often during his work shift.

The study of religion at Bucknell explores the experiences, narratives, and social expressions of individuals and groups as they strive to articulate meaningful lives. As an academic study, religion focuses on institutional formations associated with both world religions and local religious traditions, as well as social, cultural, and political developments that call forth ultimate commitment from participants.
The academic study of religion contributes to the formation of global citizens by giving them fundamental capacities of intercultural literacy. The skills and capabilities that students develop in the academic study of religion are therefore broadly applicable and are intimately related to the goals of other areas of study at Bucknell, not only in the humanities but also in management, the sciences, and engineering.

President Obama has slashed funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative in his 2012 budget
EMMET CO., MI -- President Obama's 2012 budget proposal includes cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
He's asking for $125 million less than what was approved in 2010, and Republicans may try and slash it farther.
With less money to work with, there will be fewer projects with the initiative.
And according to the Tip of the Mitt, with fewer projects, it could lead to more long-term problems and costs.
"The longer we wait, the worse the problems get, and the more costly it gets in the end," said Jennifer McKay.
McKay is the policy specialist at Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in Petoskey. She says it's going to take a lot to restore the Great Lakes, and the Government isn't making it easy.
"The Great Lakes has more aquatic invasive species than any other freshwater ecosystem, so if we can get a control over our system and manage it, we're actually helping to protect the rest of the country," said McKay.
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative helps with this. It funds projects to help protect the lakes from threats, like polluted run-off and invasive species such as Asian Carp. In his 2012 budget, President Barack Obama proposed funding $350-million to the initiative, which is a reduction of $125-million from the 2010 budget.
"We have a lot of non-point source pollution contributing to the Great Lakes," said restoration engineer Jennifer Gelb.
Gelb says less funding would mean less proactive projects, like a storm-water management plan she hopes to get funding for. She says storm water run-off is a major contaminant of the Great Lakes, and with money, it can be managed.
"It's such a great opportunity to get a project like this funded, and there aren't as many funding sources available for projects like this," said Gelb.
There's also concern for this year's funding.
The House Appropriations Committee released a "continuing resolution" to complete this fiscal year's budget and their plan is to reduce Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding to $225-million dollars, a cut from the $475-million put toward the fund just last year.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report, Stockton is the second most dangerous city in California in regard to violent crime.
That report — which identified 10 cities with populations of 100,000 or more with the highest rates of violent crime per 1,000 residents — also determined that Stockton was one of the top-10 most dangerous cities in the country.
The national list is topped by Flint, Mich., followed by Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Memphis, Little Rock, Ark., Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Baltimore and Stockton.
Tracy Police Department Chief Gary Hampton said it's critical for police chiefs to be aware of crime within the region, not just in a specific community.
"(There are) so many contributing factors to what drives crime up," Hampton said. "How we deploy public safety, standards for quality of life, what social norms are in a community."
But Hampton noted that the two cities — Tracy, with a population of 81,000, and Stockton, with a population of 291,000 — are cut from different cloth when it comes to crime and demographics.
"Tracy and Stockton, although in the same county, we are much different," he said. "We are a suburban community, and Stockton is more representative of an urban community."
Hampton said a number of factors contribute to crime patterns, including economic, social, geographical and environmental variables. And Tracy's crime statistics show a much safer community than its neighbor about 15 miles to the northeast.
According to Tracy police crime analyst Janice Cree, Tracy has had two homicides, 31 robberies, two rapes and 26 aggravated assaults so far in 2012. In 2011, Tracy police recorded zero homicides, 68 robberies, 12 rapes and 58 aggravated assaults.
That equates to 7.5 violent crimes for each 10,000 residents so far in 2012, or less than one per 1,000. Meanwhile, Stockton's 2012 rate is about seven violent crimes for each 1,000 residents, according to Press calculations.
"Stockton is a different environment than Tracy," Hampton said. "Not saying better or worse — saying it's different."
According to statics provided by the Stockton Police Department, as of Wednesday, June 27, Stockton had 32 homicides, 626 robberies, 46 rapes and 1,294 aggravated assaults in 2012 — on pace to surpass the city's crime numbers for 2011, when 58 homicides, 1,323 robberies, 90 rapes and 2,684 aggravated assaults were reported.
Stockton police spokesman Joey Silva said that to combat Stockton's crime problem, Chief Eric Jones initiated a number of programs, including the creation of a proactive team to focus on high-crime neighborhoods; the hiring of 10 more officers; and the return of monitoring of city cameras in troubled neighborhoods.
"When we experienced budget cuts and limited resources in the last two years, we had to eliminate some of the proactive units to handle calls of service," Silva said, which included narcotics, downtown bike patrols and community police officers.
Not proud of being listed as one of the 10 most crime-ridden cities in the nation, Silva said the chief's recent actions were steps in the right direction.

Student Presentations
Wednesday, April 16, 6:30pm
Great Space
Students from the University of Maryland and Northwestern High School, located nearby in College Park, worked together this spring in Northwestern's Project Lead the Way class.
A teaching team of Maryland faculty, staff and students worked with Mr. Brian Evans's class this semester under the auspices of the Architecture in the Schools program of the Washington Architectural Foundation.
Architecture in the Schools is an initiative to bring architects and architectural educators into the classroom to teach public school children about architecture. Architecture in the Schools is one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) initiatives the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation participates in.
The University of Maryland team taught the high school students about site analysis and design, working with the students to analyze their high school campus and design an architectural intervention in the outdoor area adjacent to their commissary. On March 13, the high school students—Sasha Bailey, Eric Leon, Soliah Kpadeh, James Reese and Norrisa Saleha—presented their projects in the Great Space to a panel of critics including Architecture Program faculty and students. Mr. Geno Flores, Prince George's County Public Schools Chief Academic Officer, attended the presentation. After lunch and a tour of the School, the high school students attended a mid-semester review of graduate student work.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation will host the Maryland public schools participating in the Architecture in the Schools program on April 16. That evening, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, students, parents and teachers from Northwestern High School, Sligo Middle School and Takoma Elementary School will spend the evening in the Great Space for a presentation and celebration of the students' architecture projects.
The Maryland Architecture in the Schools team includes Dean Garth Rockcastle, Architecture Program Director Madlen Simon, Resources Collection Assistant Director Chris Hinojosa, Lecturer Carl Lostritto, post-doctoral student Doan Bao Nguyen, graduate students Kira Canon, Ray Cho, Shawn Faulkner, Peter James, Artur Kalil, Joe Kunkel, Parlin Meyer, Kevin Vandeman, Elizabeth Vetne and undergraduate student Jessica Stenzel.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service.

Tucker's Grove County Park updated: Apr 23, 2011, 9:00 AM
By the dedicated staff
There are so many beautiful places to have an Easter picnic in Santa Barbara - the beach, the mountains, City and County parks - all beckon as destinations.
Tucker's Grove County Park might be an easy one to overlook - tucked in a corner off Cathedral Oaks (Hwy 192), the park offers excellent group BBQ areas, horseshoe pits, playgrounds, a volleyball court, a new off-leash dog area, and extended hiking trail that meanders along San Antonio Creek.
To get to the park, exit Highway 101 at Turnpike and go toward the mountains (a left turn if you are coming from the north, a right if you are coming from the south).
Park entry is free unless you have a large group reservation, which is available through the County Parks Department. Eight sites are available for advance booking for group sizes of 25 and up.
The best pick of the sites is Kiwanis Meadow, a bit up the parking lot from the main park and including a secluded meadow surrounded by oak trees and bordered by San Antonio Creek on the left side. Large BBQ pits, a volleyball court, small playground and restroom are all nearby, and the kickoff point for a hike along San Antonio Creek is here as well.
The new off-leash dog play zone is just beyond Kiwanis Meadow, separated from the picnic and BBQ area by a gated fence.
If you meander up the San Antonio Creek trail, you may find yourself walking farther than expected. The pretty, pristine path is well kept and unoccupied most days, and we went over a mile shooting photos of wildflowers and enjoying the sunshine before we realized how much time had passed.
The trail is sandy, a result of the watershed it's part of, but is mostly even terrain, suitable for entry level hikers and kids. Take it to its terminus, and you will end up at the base of San Marcos Pass (Hwy 154).
For a look at other options for picnicking this weekend, we've included links to a number of previous past tourist attractions featuring local parks and beaches below the photos.

Hi All, I am replacing a wall thermostat for a Cadet wall heater with a programmable thermostat. My box has more wires than I was expecting - I need advise on how to hook it up. The box: 2 black wires coming from the top of the box (electrical supply) 1 black wire coming from the bottom of the box (heater) 2 white wires from the top 1 white from the bottom 2 ground wires from the top 1 ground from the bottom New thermostat: 1 black L1 wire 1 red L2 wire 1 black load wire 1 red load wire Neither the box or the new thermostat have a green screw for the ground wires. Previous setup with old thermostat: Black top wire was connected to top black wire Black top wire was connect to black thermostat wire Red thermostat wire was not connected to anything and looked burnt All 3 ground wires were connected and one was connected to green screen on thermostat. Per instructions for the new thermostat: Connect black wire from the top of the box to thermostat black L1 wire Connect white wire from the top of the box to thermostat red L2 wire Connect black wire from bottom of box to thermostat black LOAD wire Connect white wire from bottom of box to thermostat red LOAD wire Connect all ground wires. Questions: Is it okay just to have all of the ground wires connected and not connected to a green screw? What do I do with the extra wires? - Black from the top of box - White from the top of the box Thanks for the help! | |||
I assume this a line voltage thermostat for a baseboard or some other type of electrical resistance heat, correct? If there is no connection for the ground on the thermostat keep the ground wires connected together and if mounted in a metal box make sure the box is bonded to the ground. The whites would stay together and your black load wire would go towards the heater and the black line would be connected to the source. Not sure what the reds are for. It sounds like it could be used to control two different heaters with two separate lines (supply) and two different heaters (Load). General Disclaimer Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance. My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. | ||||
I will bet those are 240 volt heaters, and you have/need a two-circuit plate thermostat. reds on one thermostat circuit, blacks on the other. the box had darned well better be grounded to those ground leads, and a pigtail to the faceplace of the thermostat if it has a ground screw. should be a hole in back for a #8 ground screw. if not, I'd use a green "box clip." wire nut things for safety and use a "squeaker" or "growler" non-contact power tester on the whites. if they don't start it beeping when the breaker is momentarily turned on, they're neutral as they're supposed to be, breaker off, and pigtail them together. do please pull the circuit breaker and use a non-contact "squeaker" power tester before working with those wires. it's not close enough to Easter to home-smoke the hams if that is //NOT\\ a line voltage thermostat, take it back, get another. you might have to ask a clerk to get steered to the right place. hint: you don't have five brands and 20 models to choose from, you have probably one. if they can't help you, hit an electrical supply house (many sell to plain Joes, but at full retail one-sy price) or a fleet-and-farm store. if you have a sales tax permit for any business, you can go to the Will Call counter at Grainger and buy it there.This message has been edited.
