Bird Conservation Network Census
Help map bird distribution in the Chicago, IL area. | |
Track nesting populations during breeding seasons. |
The Bird Conservation Network Census needs citizen scientists to record bird distribution and abundance information for birds in the Chicago region. Bird monitors can participate at different levels:
The Bird Conservation Network has created a set of standardized methods for studying the birds of the Chicago Wilderness region. These methods can serve a variety of research purposes while also allowing birders to participate at different levels of intensity. Participants commit to making five or more visits to the site each year with at least two of those visits coming during breeding season (June). Also, participants should be able to recognize Illinois birds by sight and sound. By general rule, a birder should have about at least three years of experience with field identification of birds in the Illinois area. The goals of this study are to generate a general picture of bird distribution in the region, to collect data to assist land managers and conservation planners in decision making, and to create a database compatible with other types of habitat data being gathered in the region which can be used by researchers investigating specific ecosystem questions. If you are an avid birder at a Chicago Park District nature area, you are encouraged to become a bird monitor. |

An Olympic year often spells doom for regular annual sporting events. Ask any athlete (except from a few team sports like football etc) what is his/her highest target, and almost everyone would name an Olympic medal on top of their list. Hence it is to the immense credit of Le Tour that despite being agonisingly close to the Olympic road race (scheduled less than a week after the Tour finishes) all major entrants are raring to go.
Yes the Olympics still mean the world to riders such as Wiggins, Cavendish and Evans, yet the lure of a Tour victory still makes them risk injury and exhaustion. This especially when the incredible demands of a grand tour are hardly ideal preparation for any Olympic event. But for athletes like Wiggins, a dream of Tour & Olympic double is irresistible; and if achieved, would catapult him into the pantheon of greats instantly.
Yet this Tour has already had a few setbacks, most notably with the absence of two past winners, Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador. The Spaniard is always a favourite, despite a tepid performance last year and is serving a controversial ban for testing positive for clenbuterol. He also had his 2010 victory rescinded due to the positive test, though not all are convinced.
His loss was Schleck Jr's gain as he was promoted as victor of the 2010 event (though the rider staunchly refuses to consider it as his achievement and pines to win one the traditional way) after he had finished second following an epic battle on the road. The Luxembourgeois faced the same fate last year as he fought Cadel Evans tooth and nail, only to end up second best. If he was planning to be third time lucky, sadly a spinal injury in the Critérium du Dauphiné put paid to those hopes.
Hence the favourites field is effectively whittled down to two names, defending champion Cadel Evans from Australia, riding for Team BMC; and Bradley Wiggins from Britain, riding for the ambitious Team Sky. Wiggins was among the top runners last year as well, till a painful crash early in the Tour forced him to withdraw. This year however, he is the bookmakers choice and with a strong year behind him has good reason to be confident.
The Sky rider is in the midst of enjoying the season of his life, winning three of the five stage races he has started, Paris-Nice, the Tour of Romandie and the Dauphiné Libéré, taking a stage in the other, the Tour of Algarve. This added to a podium place in the Vuelta a España and the silver medal at the world time trial championship is warning enough for his Australian rival. His team are on a high as well, as evident from this teaser released at the team's official YouTube channel:
Evans on the contrary has had a relatively tepid preparation going into the Tour, especially compared to his preparations last year. Unlike multiple victories in 2010, Evans has only managed to win the Criterium International in March and grabbed a stage in the Dauphine, eventually finishing third overall behind Wiggins (and compatriot Michael Rogers).
The BMC rider acknowledges his rival's form and relishes the challenge. However this year's route is very different compared to what he rode to victory last year. In his own words, "The Tour won't be won or lost in the mountains, it will only sort out the contenders. But the Tour will certainly be won or lost in the time trials." To begin with this year the Tour runs clockwise – Alps first, Pyrenees second – which traditionally always tends to be less suited to a pure climber. Furthermore there is no immense summit finish with never more than two days climbing in a row. These factors coupled with the longest time trials since 2008, clearly justify the defending champion's assessment of the route.
Funny then, that the two of the best climbers in the world are missing a Tour (not out of choice though) which would not have favoured them in any case. Conversely in Wiggins and Evans we have two of the best time triallers in the field taking eachother head on (remember Evans took his victory last year in the final individual time trial). Here too the odds are in favour of the Olympic medallist leading Sky, however no one can discount the Aussie's grit.
Apart from them, Wiggins' teammate Mark Cavendish aka 'The Manx Missile' would be keen to repeat his green jersey winning performance of last year, though can he can achieve that without his dependable "HTC Highroad train" is what would interest Tour regulars. Among other riders hoping to capture a podium finish, Ryder Hesjedal would be one to watch out for. He was noted for his impressive performance last year and has only improved by claiming top honours at the Giro d'Italia in May this year, becoming the first Canadian to win a grand tour. He is leading team Garmin-Sharp in this edition of the Tour.
As for the complete route, this year the riders navigate a total of 20 stages, covering a massive 3,497 kms. Longest day in the saddle is expected to be Friday the 13th, the race organisers venerating Devil's day by slotting a 226 km medium mountain stage. However it would be the five mountain stages and two-time trials that will separate the elite from the pack.
But the Tour is nothing if not for the uncertainties that emerge in the three weeks. Time and again a wild card rider ruffles the feathers of the big teams, and one only needs to look back to last year when Thomas Voeckler of Europcar hung on to the maillot jaune far longer than most hoped. Then there are the crashes, which while not welcome or enjoyed by anyone, are an integral part of road cycling. Only hope is that the dreadful events of stage 9 last year are not repeated, and no crash leads to a major injury.
The Tour begins tomorrow in Belgium, in the heart of Liège with a 6.4 km prologue. This was the same course where 'that man Spartacus' aka Fabian Cancellara burst to prominence in 2004, and he would definitely be the man to watch out for. Bradley Wiggins too can pump the pedals hard and would be keen to start the Tour in the best manner possible, donning yellow right on the first day.
Of course this is just an appetizer and things being in earnest only on sunday with the first proper stage, but such short runs have a thrill of their own. It might not even be a warm up ride for these athletes, nevertheless they will put their body on the line to gain fractions. In the end all that matter is that Le Tour is back!!! With the Euros finishing on sunday and the Olympics still a few days away, nothing could have filled the gap better. Looking forward to 21 days of scintillating scenery, breathtaking visuals and – most importantly – captivating racing action. Bring it on!!!

North 47° - A Lake Superior Storm
By: By Jonathan Chapman, Lake County News Chronicle
"If you're lucky, you'll eventually find a few minutes to free your mind, let your wheels spin, and drift away to a place where something brilliant might wash up upon the shore…"
~Rick Bannister
Last November my five-year-old daughter, Frankie, and I set off for our once-a-year weekend together, bound for northern Minnesota and a cabin on the shore of Lake Superior. Travel "up North" is something to which most Minnesotans look forward and welcome as often as we can accommodate. It's a destination that signifies something that is hard to put in words. What it lacks is what draws us in, more so than what it offers. Regardless of one's motive, the possibilities are endless amid the wilderness and waters of our some 10,000 plus lakes.
While we departed with cloudy skies and windshield wipers humming, rain or shine, we were once again excited to be leaving town together. Along our route the weather turned increasingly cold, with clouds growing thicker and winds gaining strength. In weather like this, I knew long before we arrived that my idea of hiking through the woods along the water's edge was not what Frankie would consider fun.
Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes, signifies in many ways, the gateway to the north woods. The vastness and the unpredictable nature of the water keep visitors engaged in trying to solve its mysteries.
Upon arrival at the cabin, approximately five hours north of Minneapolis, the temperature was just barely above freezing. The winds were roaring across the water, with surf hitting the shore in a way that many at the resort, including myself, had not often experienced, but were excited to witness.
I awoke several times during our first night, sleeping some 50 feet from the surging waves that were pounding the shore and windows of our seemingly snug, yet audibly uninsulated cabin. Throughout the night the storm continued to grow, ratcheting up its intensity by the hour.
In the morning after stoking the fire and a slow breakfast, Frankie and I set out to explore. Just steps from our door Frankie was quick to advise she'd had enough. I brought her in and contemplated heading back out, camera in hand for whatever I might be able to capture. I was now pleased that I had packed at least a few essential pieces of equipment. I figured I'd last about 10 minutes, but was certain I would come away with visuals unlike any I'd captured of the lake in the past.
The North 47° motion edit, named by the geographic coordinates of the storm, was captured that morning in no more than an hour of shooting. Time in the elements was punctuated by many breaks to the cabin with Frankie tearing off paper towels to help dry camera, lenses, and my face. I had never worked in such extreme conditions. With feet firmly rooted and backside to the wind, I was able to grab no more than 2-3 second video clips, but I was not sure what, if anything, would become of the footage.
Upon retiring to the cabin I found the view from our upstairs bedroom window almost as interesting as the water's edge. The blowing trees, surging waves and water droplets running down the window offered a quieter element than what I had been struggling to capture outside.
I am appreciative of each and every hour I am able to steal away to the North Shore, especially one-on-one adventures with my kids. Lake Superior never ceases to offer something humbling, regardless of the season.
Technical notes:
It was exciting to see the footage come to life during the editing process. The video clips were shot in slow motion at 60 frames per second and Nathaniel Schmidt put the footage together against an audio track that quiets and compliments the wind, waves, and turbulent nature of the footage. Upon completion we taped the talents of Coelement for graphic animation.

Substance-Free/Quiet House
In response to student requests for substance-free and quiet housing reported by the 2012 Social Life Task Force study, the College will be launching a new housing option for the 2013-14 academic year. Substance-free mean that all residents agree to keep the influences of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs out of their community. This means no alcohol is permitted in the community and students may not return to the community intoxicated or smelling of alcohol, tobacco, etc.

First off it's a great product. The only thing that would need improvement is taste, mix with extra water and no huge qualms.
The pumps are insane did some chest, bi, and TRI work today and they are swollen like broken arms. I took two scoops and I didn't feel cracked out at all. Kicked in about 40 minutes later on an empty stomach. Overall definitely enjoyed the product and I think I would purchase again in the future because it's not overly stimulating. Brings just the right amount of ingredients to the table to get the job done. I think I would be fine using 1 & 1/2 scoops.
They are reformulating the flavor too I hear, grab some and give it a shot.
Not to mention two scoops gives you a nice full dose of creatine as well.

Robots, GPS and earlier screenings are the latest high-tech salvo in the war against lung cancer.
The American Lung Association lists lung cancer as the second-most diagnosed cancer in both women and men and the leading cause of cancer death in the country. Lung cancer accounts for 30 percent of all cancer deaths in America, killing more than 150,000 people annually.
In addition, lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of less than 16 percent, a substantially lower number than other major cancers such as breast, colon and prostate, which reach 90 percent or greater, according to the association.
Also, lung cancer has a stigma attached that other cancer victims don't often face. When singer Donna Summer died from the disease earlier this year, many figured she must have been a smoker. She wasn't a known smoker. And though smoking is by far the leading cause of lung cancer, 15 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked. (More women than men who have never smoked get lung cancer.)
"The perception that this is a smoker's cancer is a bit outdated at this point," said Dr. Rogerio Lilenbaum, chairman of the hematology/oncology program at Cleveland Clinic in Weston. "No one would say this about breast cancer, even though we do have some lifestyle issues that can impact on breast cancer. On the other hand, we don't want to create this false idea that smoking is no longer relevant. It remains the No. 1 cause and if it were to be eliminated, this disease would go away one day, with few exceptions."
Results of the National Cancer Institute's National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) released in August 2011 showed that screening with low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) scans compared to the previous option — chest X-ray — reduced lung cancer deaths among older heavy smokers by 20 percent. The key to survival is improved detection at the earliest stages.
"In our lifetime we probably won't see anything potentially as much of a game-changer as this can be," Lilenbaum said. "This hasn't taken off at hospitals yet; they are trying to come up with appropriate guidelines, and the incidence of false positives is still quite high. But as screening with CT becomes more common, we'll see decreased mortality. There's a reason for optimism."
A simple test
Rita Seiff is one example of someone well-served by the new CT screening.
Seiff, 66, said she gave herself a great present for her 40th birthday: she quit smoking and never went back. She had begun smoking at about 13.
But having been smoke-free for 26 years, and feeling fine, Seiff, who lives in Boca Raton with her husband, felt she had no reason to think about lung cancer. Still, as a member of the Pap Corps, an organization that raises money for UM's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Seiff heard a lecture about the new screening program delivered by Dr. Tammy Baxter, a thoracic surgeon at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
"She gave a good talk and it felt like she was talking to me. I was sure she was talking to me," Seiff said. "I came home and said to my husband, 'I should take this scan.' I was in such denial. I had had a chest X-ray six months earlier that showed nothing. But this low-dose CT scan will pick up cancer at its earliest stages. Lung cancer doesn't show its ugly little face until you're in Stage 3 and coughing up blood. There are no symptoms."

More copies of this ISBNA Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Geniusby Dave Eggers
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The literary sensation of the year, a book that redefines both family and narrative for the twenty-first century. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the moving memoir of a college senior who, in the space of five weeks, loses both of his parents to cancer and inherits his eight-year-old brother. Here is an exhilarating debut that manages to be simultaneously hilarious and wildly inventive as well as a deeply heartfelt story of the love that holds a family together.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is an instant classic that will be read in paperback for decades to come. The Vintage edition includes a new appendix by the author. Review:"A virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented — yes, staggeringly talented — new writer." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Review:"Eggers evokes the terrible beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan, frothing with furious anger....A comic and moving witness that transcends and transgresses formal boundaries." Washington Post
Review:"Eggers unfailingly captures the reader with gorgeous conviction." Lynn Crosbie, The Toronto Star
Review:"Eggers crafts something universal here, something raw and real and wonderful that transcends any zeitgeist and manages to deal trenchantly with 'big issues' that often prove too daunting for younger writers: mortality, youth, the artifice of writing, the Zen of Frisbee. This is laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable." San Francisco Chronicle
Review:"A brave work, and not a little heartbreaking." National Post
Review:"Scathingly perceptive and hysterically funny....Eggers reveals a true, and truly broken, heart." People

Nick Flynn (Author, University of Houston)
"A stunningly beautiful new memoir . . . a near-perfect work of literature." —Stephen Elliot, San Francisco Chronicle
Nick Flynn met his father when he was working as a caseworker in a homeless shelter in Boston. As a teenager he'd received letters from this stranger father, a self-proclaimed poet and con man doing time in federal prison for bank robbery.

There are still some pretty good players even though they don't have big names. Jason Brown is a good center and Antonio Garay, if he can stay health, is a good DT, Matt Roth is a good DE. Melvin Bullitt (?) is a pretty good safety who can play SS or FS. I don't think any of these guys would cost a fortune.

I'm really beginning to think the Titans will take a cornerback in the first round because there isn't anyone close to Finnegan left in free agency.
If they do take a corner which one do you think it would be? I suppose it's a possibility that Jenkins would still be available when the Titans are up. Do you think the FO would take a chance on a guy like him?

Probably just talking to myself, but in case anyone else is interested... Fate/Unlimited Codes for PSP is being removed from the US PSN tomorrow because Capcom's license is expiring. Well reviewed anime fighting game developed by Eighting/Raizing and distributed by Capcom.
It's currently on sale for $9.99 before it vanishes. The Japanese retail UMD is pretty expensive, so it's the last chance to grab a decent PSP fighting game fairly cheap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwXVGHirzkI This post has been edited by tomwaits: Jun 11 2012, 02:17 PM -------------------- |

From the AP pick-up to the reception to the room I payed and Upgrade for the business rooms, all perfect. A lounge access with plenty of breakfast and more than snacks and drinks in the afternoon ppl used for dinner and drinking, all was perfect with competent, kind and attentive staff without exeption any. Special thanks to Lin the manager of Thsra Thong resto she sponsored a birthday cake and a song on my wife's birthday
Lack: both of the pools had a dity waterline of sun protectors oily grease, and not only from one day. The garden pool few, because the rest is overfow system. I let a comment in the room because I didn't want to be too direct with the really friendly pool staff.

This hotel was completely amazing and unforgettable. The hotel sits on the river in Bangkok, where my daughter and I enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner outside, watching the boats come and go from the pier. There is an attached shopping mall, wonderful jewelry stores, two beautiful swimming pools, one with swim-up pool bar, the other with river view. The staff were incredible and treated us with nothing but respect and assistance with any issue. Completely exceeded my expectations and I will definitly return. Be sure to check with concierge for appropriate pricing to pay taxi/tuk-tuk drivers as its easy to get ripped off!

"As my course was very literature-based, I really looked forward to my year abroad, which would give me the chance to speak my languages and dive into the cultures.
It truly did live up to my hopes. Firstly, I spent seven months in Ferrara, a beautiful medieval city in Northeast Italy. I was enrolled in the university, but also taught private English conversation lessons. Because it was a reasonably small place I found it quite easy to integrate into the Italian life, making friends not just with other students but with locals as well, which really improved my language skills. In the late spring, I went to Brussels to undertake a two-month long internship, which involved interviewing and compiling the profiles of over 50 individuals to produce a book called "Changemakers in Brussels". After this, I started another internship at the Chateau de Montaigne in Southwest France, near Bordeaux. I gave guided tours of the tower where Montaigne wrote his 'Essais', working in the bookshop and selling the wine produced on site. Again, I found that my language skills improved very quickly – especially as I was giving guided tours to the French.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed my year abroad. That's not to say that it was easy; operating in different cultures and different languages is always a challenge. However, it was through these experiences that I was able to develop my confidence as well as moving my languages towards fluency.
I graduated this summer but and am now the Co-founder of a large-scale campaign which will be launching in the spring called "Talk to me London". I genuinely believe that if I had done a three year course, I would not have chosen this path. However, the year abroad gave me the confidence – and the time – to do so."

Watford FC News RSS Feed
Ex-Watford striker Marvin Sordell in Great Britain London Olympics squad
3:54pm Monday 2nd July 2012 in Watford FC News
Watford Academy graduate Marvin Sordell has been selected in Great Britain's football squad for the London Olympics.
Sordell's performances for the Hornets saw him cement his place in the England Under-21 side, who are also managed by Stuart Pearce, and also earn a £3m move to Bolton Wanderers in January.
The 21-year-old was released by Fulham as a youngster and after joining Watford, rose through the ranks to make 81 appearances for the first team, scoring 27 goals.
Former Watford loanees Tom Cleverley, Jack Cork and Danny Rose are also in the 18-man GB squad, which consists of only English and Welsh players.
Olympic regulations dictate that no more than three players over the age of 23 can be included in a squad, with these places being awarded to Welsh pair Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy as well as Micah Richards.
This will be the first time a British team has competed in the Olympics since the 1960 Games in Rome.
Senegal will provide the opening opposition for Pearce's squad on Thursday, July 26, before clashes with the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay.
Speaking on his squad, Pearce said: "With just 18 places it is very different from other international tournaments, the options are limited, but it is the Olympic Games and every player in this squad should be very proud they have a chance to compete for a gold medal on home soil.
"I remember the huge advantage we gained from playing in front of our own fans during Euro '96, and I'm sure with the nation behind us it could be a fantastic tournament for us."
Team GB Chef de mission Andy Hunt added: "After a 52 year absence from the Olympic Games, it is fantastic to welcome the men's football squad to Team GB for London 2012.
"Representing your country at the Olympic Games is a very unique, special experience and I am sure this talented and determined group of men's footballers will play a full part as members of Team GB at our home Olympic Games.
"The squad selected possesses a good blend of youth and experience, with 15 of the 18 selected athletes playing their football at the very highest level in the Premier League last season.
"In Stuart Pearce they have an experienced and passionate manager and I am sure the younger players will learn a lot from their time with Team GB at the Olympic Games.
Team GB squad: Joe Allen (Swansea City), Craig Bellamy (Cardiff City), Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Jack Butland (Birmingham City), Steven Caulker (Tottenham Hotspur), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Jack Cork (Southampton), Craig Dawson (West Bromwich Albion), Ryan Giggs (Manchester United), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Scott Sinclair (Swansea City), Marvin Sordell (Bolton Wanderers), Jason Steele (Middlesbrough), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), Neil Taylor (Swansea City), James Tomkins (West Ham United).

Sordell 3 games since joining Bolton
Cleverly injured for most of the season
Bellamy and Giggs both of very doubtful character
Micah R not available as a standby player
nut no place for Beckham who plays week in week out, a massive servant to the FA, helped bring the Olympics here.
Yep the FA and Pearce (possibly with a record in management equal to Zola) show no respect to what the fans want.
Expect demonstrations whilst GB stay in competition

How Sordell got in the squad when Murray failed to do so is beyond me. I too would have picked Beckham - Victoria is a better role model than Giggs
As for Beckham, he plays in a league that experts in the US openly admit it comparable to League 1.
Beckham has been a great ambassador, but for football reasons, I think Pearce got it right.

The Wheeler Centre is a new kind of cultural institution, dedicated to the discussion and practice of writing, books and ideas. The Centre is a cornerstone of Melbourne's UNESCO City of Literature status.
It doesn't come as news that we're living in an age where technology is producing profound changes in the ways we live and communicate, remember and socialise.
One of the world's most ground-breaking and thought-provoking writers on technology and its impacts, Nicholas Carr, talks to Gideon Haigh. The celebrated journalist and author of The Shallows presents his arguments about how the internet's pervasive influence is fostering ignorance.
Haigh and Carr discuss how information overload affects reading, writing, learning and understanding. And Carr contends that more brain activity does not equate to better, more efficient brain function, cautioning against the idea that entertaining content and 'rich media' is enhancing our intellectual power.

Creston girls struggle in loss
Lewis Central jumped out to a 21-10 lead in the first quarter here Friday. Yet, the Creston girls basketball team had a chance to get back into the game in the second quarter, but couldn't take advantage of free throw opportunities, losing 63-27.
Trailing 21-9, the Panthers reached the bonus with :53.7 remaining in the first quarter, and would shoot free throws on every foul until the end of the half.
But Creston couldn't convert those free throw opportunities into points, and after cutting the lead to 24-14 with 5:00 remaining in the half, Lewis Central responded with a 12-1 run to close out the half with a 36-15 lead.

Teeth chattering isn't all that unusual in dogs. It's most likely just a nervous habit, particularly since your dog only does it when he's excited. You and your veterinarian should check his mouth for any signs of oral disease (swollen or bleeding gums, broken teeth, etc.), but if you don't see any signs of it, the teeth chattering shouldn't be a problem. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't happen more frequently or become more severe.

Stem Cells and Their Fat Neighbors
We recently published a PLOS ONE paper (Mitochondrial respiration regulates adipogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells) in which we studied how the metabolism of an adult stem cell can influence its ability to differentiate. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (also known as marrow stromal cells, marrow progenitor cells or MSCs) can be converted into fat (adipocytes), cartilage (chondrocytes) or bone (osteoblasts). The work performed by Yanmin Zhang and Glenn Marsboom in my lab showed that MSCs undergo a... Read more

Comment: Great bags they look real good on 04 shadow.lots of room for whatever. I have bought several items from Jafrum and well pleased with all of them.
CHOPPER/ g.howland

Comment: cant beat the price.they were a little smaller than anticipated but good bags for the money.
rob c
Comment: What a great value for the price! These bags are top quality. Love the ability to unclip the bags from the throw-over. The carrying handles are nice. Full hard sheeting keeps these in perfect shape. I ended up mounting to easy-brackets, which works great. These bags are utmost quality, and look fantastic. You won't go wrong in purchasing these!! Thanks Jafrum.
Phoenix AZ
Comment: I put bags on a Kawasaki Vulcan EN500 C3 and even though there were no included instructions, I did not have any problems. I had to make extra holes to bring bags up from the pipes. My husband and next door neighbor, who both also ride, commented on how good they look on the bike.

Comment: I ordered these bags and they fit my Dyna lowrider very nicely. Easy to take off and put back on.

Comment: Was suprised by the sturdiness of the bags. They were slightly smaller than I hoped but will work for my purposes. Shipping. Was good.
Comment: I love everything about these bags! They're sturdy, hold their shape and detach easily from my 05 Shadow. I will be ordering a windshield bag and possibly a tool bag to match. The only problem I had was that I also had to make more holes in the throw-over to keep them off my exhaust. Great value for the money!
Karen O
Comment: Chose this from all Jafrum saddlebags because they were the same size as the original Harley bags on the bike. But was concerned they might not be big enough. They are! My half helmet, 2 pairs glasses, gloves and cap fit in one with room to spare. In the other I carry my cross-body book bag that holds my netbook, external hardrive & accessories PLUS my shoulder purse. Even my husband commented how great they look on my bike and give it real class. Match the factory seat perfectly. Previous owner had mounting brackets, so I left them on and just used the tie-downs that came on each bag to tie off to the bracket so they don't flap around. This is my third purchase from Jafrum and I love dealing with them. Great prices, exceptional shipping, and super customer service. Thanks to everyone at Jafrum, I recommend you time and again to everyone I know.
Toledo, Ohio
Comment: Absolutely love them, just what I wanted!!! Thanks will shop with you again.

Monte Schulz on This Side Of Jordan
Posted by admin in Literature on November 11, 2009
Fantagraphics Books has surprised me on many levels this past year (all good levels, of course). So when I heard it was publishing Monte Schulz's prose novel, This Side of Jordan, I contacted the author (with some help from friend of the blog/Fantagraphics' Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds) to discuss the book through an email interview.
As detailed by the publisher: "This Side Of Jordan is a story of another America, eighty years distant yet familiar, too, a vibrant and scandalous tapestry of eccentric characters from a nation embroiled in criminal liquor traffic, thrilled by Jazz Age fads and frolic, drunk amid the glittering showgrounds of a booming circus whose flag-topped tents are about to come down. Through mayhem and merriment, past the violence and hypocrisy of Prohibition, along miles of dirt roads and busy Main Streets, we see in this wonderfully evocative narrative a simple yearning for love and hope. This Side Of Jordan is about the distance we travel in America to find our rightful place. …
He spent ten years writing Crossing Eden, from which This Side of Jordan is drawn as the first of three interconnected novels; the second and third, Fields of Eden and The Big Town, will be published in 2010 and 2011.
Monte Schulz received his M.A. in American Studies from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He lives in Northern California. He is the eldest son of Charles M. Schulz (PEANUTS)."
My thanks to Schulz for an interview in which the quality of his answers greatly exceed that of my questions. Once you've read the interview, please be sure to visit the Fantagraphics website for a 23-page PDF excerpt from the book.
Tim O'Shea: Your first novel, Down by the River, was published in 1991. How has your writing voice matured in the past 19 years?
Monte Schulz: My basic style of writing hasn't changed in thirty years. The issue was always doing what I was best capable of. "Down By The River" was the pinnacle of what I could achieve in a novel back then, but after it was finished, I discovered I was capable of so much more. Stylistically, however, I've always favored and embraced a lyrical prose, and these '20s novels have just given me more room and opportunity to express it. Also, I've read much more than I had back then, so my work since that first novel has been informed by writers I knew nothing of at that time – Bellow, Marquand, Cozzens, Kantor, etc. Then, too, I think I've refined what I like best about artistic writing, while improving my sense of character and story, and better differentiating voices in dialogue, something that is very much on display now in "This Side Of Jordan."

Local High School Students to Compete in the Second Annual Commodities Trading Competition at Hofstra
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – Students from several local Long Island high schools will learn about commodities markets and trading as they compete in the second annual Hofstra-Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group Commodities Challenge for High Schools on Friday, January 16, 2009 in Hofstra University's Martin B. Greenberg Trading Room.
The one-day contest will begin at 9 a.m. in the Trading Room of C. V. Starr Hall, South Campus. Participating high school students will learn about the purpose and functioning of commodities futures markets and newer electronic trading system and traditional "open outcry" trading, which requires market participants to shout out orders that are then reinforced with hand signals.
"We truly enjoy hosting this event and the opportunity to work with the CME Group. The trading competition provides high school students with the opportunity to learn about the futures markets from the people who actually work there. And, right now, what could be more topical than learning about trading crude oil futures?" said Nancy White, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Zarb School of Business Finance Department.
Participants will also learn the function of commodities markets from Hofstra's finance professors and professionals of CME Group. Dr. White, Ahmet Karagozoglu, Ph.D., associate professor of finance, and John Lemkan, client management training services for CME Group, will discuss the economics of trading in financial markets as well as market terminology, contracts, trading, investments and the impact of commodities on the overall economy.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three performing students in both the electronic and "open outcry" competitions.
Hofstra University and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME Group) in conjunction with CQG have developed an innovative program designed to introduce high school students to the intriguing world of commodities markets and their impact on the economy and investments. CME Group serves the risk management needs of customers around the globe by providing the widest range of benchmark futures and options products available on any exchange, covering all major asset classes. Their collective vision is one of ongoing global growth, innovative product development, continually enhanced technology and the highest level of service available on any exchange.
The Martin G. Greenberg Trading Room opened in C.V. Starr Hall (a technologically enhanced classroom building) in January 2005 as part of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business. The room features 34 dual-panel Bloomberg terminals that provide access to Bloomberg Professional data and information services. The Trading Room gives Hofstra faculty and students the ability to access and analyze a vast array of financial and economic data, apply analytical methods, conduct interactive trading simulations, and develop contemporary financial models.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from more than 140 undergraduate and 155 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences; business; engineering; communication; education, health and human services; and honors studies, as well as a School of Law. With a student-faculty ratio of 14-to-1, our professors teach small classes averaging 22 students that emphasize interaction, critical thinking and analysis. Hofstra offers a faculty whose highest priority is teaching excellence. The University also provides excellent facilities with state-of-the-art technology, extensive library resources and internship programs that match students' interests and abilities with appropriate companies and organizations. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

NY sets up website for problems with student exams
Posted at: 02/17/2013 10:22 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
New York education officials say they've set up a website for reporting tips about cheating or other problems with the state's school testing program.
Education Department Commissioner John King Jr. says more than five million students take exams every year and the results are critical to improving the performance of schools.
He says his department must handle any complaints of fraud or impropriety efficiently to ensure the testing program isn't compromised.
The new "Test Security and Educator Integrity" site is set up to take tips about problems and comments about improving the program.

Back in the days when the Publisher's Clearing House oversized envelope landed in my parents' mailbox, my dad would open it and immediately get confused about all the stamps, cards, stickers and bucks slips that flew out of it.
It then became mom's job to figure things out and mail our entry before the deadline. They were always hopeful that we'd win millions of dollars or maybe a new car.
Since I worked in direct marketing, in publishing, I'd found out for sure that Mom and Dad's chances of winning a big prize were exactly the same whether they bought a magazine or not. (Fran Lebowitz once said about lotteries that she has the same chance of winning whether she buys a ticket or not.) I didn't have the heart to tell my parents, though, and they usually subscribed to three or four magazines every year.
The PCH envelope was exciting and fun!
The envelope is gone but the sweepstakes is still fun, especially in this economy. Now PCH TV commercials urge you to enter online for a chance at "$1 million a year for life". But, according to a recent article in Direct Marketing News, magazine subscriptions are no longer the #1 item at PCH. Merchandise, with 7,200 SKUs, is tops now.
When I was in New York recently I made an appointment at Ventura Associates. They're the geniuses of sweepstakes. I met with CEO Marla Altberg and her team and they told me that direct response sweepstakes:
- Enhance your message and increase readership
– Encourage your prospect to respond now
– Increase sales or donations
– And on the internet they're huge traffic (and brand) builders.
Marla showed some of her great case studies, including:
- 170% growth in Facebook fans for one client
– 800,000 new site registrations for another
– 12% call-in responses for a third!
I learned so much about sweepstakes and contests that I was eager to get back to my office in Florida to present some ideas to two of our clients. The best part of testing programs with Ventura Associates is that they help with the creative development, and take care of all that challenging:
- Legal compliance
– Winner selection
– Prize fulfillment
– Program analytics
– Cost splitting: you can share the program with other companies so it is relatively inexpensive to test. So why not?
