U.S. Border Patrol agents seized a total of $873,800 in methamphetamine in three separate stops on state Route 94 and Interstate 5 this week, the federal agency announced Thursday.
The first stop was made at the Interstate 5 checkpoint near San Clemente on Sunday evening, according to a U.S. Border Patrol agent Scott Simon. A 21-year-old man, a U.S. citizen, hid 6.95 pounds of meth in a fire extinguisher and a battery casing, he said in a statement.
Then, on Monday afternoon, a 49-year-old man, also a U.S. citizen, was stopped on state Route 94 near Jamul. He was driving a vehicle with 25.83 pounds of meth hidden inside the vehicle's rocker panels, Simon said. Rocker panels are located under a vehicle's door, between the tire wheels, and are used to protect the undercarriage from rocks, mud and other road debris.

War before Civilization
The Myth of the Peaceful Savage
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe myth of the peace-loving "noble savage" is persistent and pernicious. Indeed, for the last fifty years, most popular and scholarly works have agreed that prehistoric warfare was rare, harmless, unimportant, and, like smallpox, a disease of civilized societies alone. Prehistoric warfare, according to this view, was little more than a ritualized game, where casualties were limited and the effects of aggression relatively mild. Lawrence Keeley's groundbreaking War Before Civilization offers a devastating rebuttal to such comfortable myths and debunks the notion that warfare was introduced to primitive societies through contact with civilization (an idea he denounces as "the pacification of the past"). Building on much fascinating archeological and historical research and offering an astute comparison of warfare in civilized and prehistoric societies, from modern European states to the Plains Indians of North America, War Before Civilization convincingly demonstrates that prehistoric warfare was in fact more deadly, more frequent, and more ruthless than modern war. To support this point, Keeley provides a wide-ranging look at warfare and brutality in the prehistoric world. He reveals, for instance, that prehistorical tactics favoring raids and ambushes, as opposed to formal battles, often yielded a high death-rate; that adult males falling into the hands of their enemies were almost universally killed; and that surprise raids seldom spared even women and children. Keeley cites evidence of ancient massacres in many areas of the world, including the discovery in South Dakota of a prehistoric mass grave containing the remains of over 500 scalped and mutilated men, women, and children (a slaughter that took place a century and a half before the arrival of Columbus). In addition, Keeley surveys the prevalence of looting, destruction, and trophy-taking in all kinds of warfare and again finds little moral distinction between ancient warriors and civilized armies. Finally, and perhaps most controversially, he examines the evidence of cannibalism among some preliterate peoples. Keeley is a seasoned writer and his book is packed with vivid, eye-opening details (for instance, that the homicide rate of prehistoric Illinois villagers may have exceeded that of the modern United States by some 70 times). But he also goes beyond grisly facts to address the larger moral and philosophical issues raised by his work. What are the causes of war? Are human beings inherently violent? How can we ensure peace in our own time? Challenging some of our most dearly held beliefs, Keeley's conclusions are bound to stir controversy. less

The North Dakota Community Action Partnership is excited to announce the award of $2,500 from the North Dakota Community Foundation to the ND Community Action Sportsmen Against Hunger program. The funds awarded will be used to pay processing costs for donated wild game through the program. The grant will be awarded at Southeastern North Dakota Community Action Agency on November 6th, 2014 at 8:30am CST.
Since 2004, the Sportsmen Against Hunger program has facilitated the processing and distribution of donated wild game to food pantries across North Dakota. Last year alone, the program distributed more than 9,000 pounds of venison, elk, and goose meat to those in need in the state. The program meets a dire need of healthy sources of protein in food pantries. Meat is difficult for food pantries to obtain, and the North Dakota Community Action Sportsmen Against Hunger program's goal is to reduce barriers to healthy, affordable meals for those living in poverty.
The ND Sportsmen Against Hunger program partners with processors across the state to accept donations of deer and geese to the program. A complete list of processors is available on the North Dakota Community Action Partnership's website www.capnd.org.
The North Dakota Community Foundation has awarded over $123,000 in grants from its Statewide Greatest Needs (Unrestricted) Fund to 37 organizations across the state working to improve the quality of life for state residents. "The North Dakota Community Foundation is pleased to provide support to these worthwhile projects and programs that improve the quality of life in our state," said Dvorak. The NDCF Board of Directors reviewed and discussed 89 grant applications at their meeting in September to make the determination of awards.
To find out more about the North Dakota Sportsmen Against Hunger program, please visit www.capnd.org or contact Sarah Hasbargen.

Essex County–– Of all the moose hunting stories to come out of the Island Pond check in station since the first State of Vermont moose hunt in 1993, one hunter and her story was particularly interesting this year. For thirteen year old Emily Schneider from St. Mary's, Pennsylvania who bagged her big bull moose, it was literally the "hunt of a lifetime."

2009 Research
Abstract: Breaching Gender Constraints: the Mestiza Heroína's Search for a Mestiza Consciousness in Sandra Cisneros"s House on Mango Street
Mentor: Dr. W.W., English and Humanities at HU
In the novel House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros captures the remarkable journey of the Chicana who needs to create a space for herself within her culture and society. For instance, the traditional women characters believe they are not in control of the catalyst that initiates the events in their lives. Instead, many passively accept poverty and racism from the dominant society and endure the patriarchal oppression from the men in their lives, while surrendering their voices and choices to be considered good girls, wives, or mothers. However, the protagonist- Espéranza Cordero- disrupts the normalized gender role of women in her culture and society because she refuses to inherit her grandmother"s rolling pin and silence. Therefore, this essay examines how the protagonist- Espéranza Cordero- breaches gender constraints and creates a self-defined space for herself that acts as a discourse of resistance to patriarchal traditions by using my provisional Mestiza heroína cycle definition based on the conflation of Joseph Campbell"s elements of an epic hero cycle and Gloria Anzaldúa"s mestiza consciousness that asserts Espéranza Cordero as a Mestiza heroína who breaches the traditional gender domains and creates a new space for women in heroic literature as heroínas.

He is also exploring opportunities to speed and enhance the impact of NIH funded research on medical practice.
Dr. McClellan explained that tremendous progress has been made in the health of this nation, including the rise in life expectancy, as a result of biomedical research. He stressed that a major component of health care policy is the driving need to develop and implement improvements in high-quality, innovative and affordable health care. Rising health care costs absorb an increasing share of national production and threaten affordability of health care for many Americans who are frustrated that they either will not benefit or cannot afford new treatments. More rapid progression in improving health care systems is needed as well as bold actions on reform for more integrated approaches to healthcare, including prevention and potential for behavior change.
Dr. McClellan sited the example of the Duke University Hospital model which intervenes early with patients and gets involved in steps to stay well. Successful delivery systems are those that can address delivering more value and better health care at lower cost. He articulated that changes in health care policy should focus on measures and outcomes. With better measures, policy can be improved. Through performance-based payments, there is incentive for documented preventive care and improved outcomes.
Dr. Zerhouni commended Dr. McClellan in his undertaking to improve health care policy and that his experience and expertise will serve to influence positive changes. Discussion ensued about the rising cost of health care, the need for better tracking and reporting, and different approaches for more effective health care and health care policy.

GUANAJUATO, Mexico – Two underdog teams shared space on the Mexico return flight to the USA today: Pan-American Games baseball champion Team Canada and silver producer Great Panther Silver.
Team Canada, managed by former Toronto Blue Jays catcher Ernie Witt, told me USA, Cuba and Mexico are always the lead contenders. His Canada team snatched victory from Team USA in a 2-1 nail-biter Tuesday evening in Mexico.
Great Panther Silver (AMEX: GPL and TSX: T.GPR, Stock Forum) is poised to snatch victory in Guanajuato, a historic Mexico silver district. But that victory, beneficial to shareholders in my view, might be tinged with melancholy.
Bob Archer's Great Panther Silver was the first small Canadian prospector to the city and surrounding region of Guanajuato. Bradford Cooke's Endeavour Silver (NYSE: EXK and TSX: T.EDR, Stock Forum) followed closely in 2007. (Photo: Great Panther's Robert Archer at the entrance to Guanajuato Mine Complex this week – Thom Calandra photo)
Both have been among the Mexico silver producers' fastest up-and-comers on their way to mid-tier status of five million or more ounces yearly. First Majestic (TSX: T.FR, Stock Forum) gets top honors in that category.
In Great Panther's case, the bucks, or growth, slowed in this year's second and third quarters. "In 2009, when you were first here," Mr. Archer tells me in this week's mine tour, "we had a lot of assumptions built into our targets. Factor in a 33 percent drop in grades (vs. Q3 2010 at Guanajuato) and that is quite a production drop." In fact, slower than forecast mine development and a few exploration holes that were clunkers led to a 24 percent drop year to year in metal production at the picturesque hillside town's labyrinth of rich silver and gold veins.
Adding to the melancholy: a back-up in concentrate shipments to a South Africa smelter this past summer smacked Mr. Archer's company straight in the kisser.
The 600 tonne per day through-put at Great Panther's Cata Plant is half what the mill at Guanajuato can handle.
For those, like me just returning from tours of both Endeavour Silver and Great Panther's operations, and pressed for time as I head to the New Orleans Investment Conference, this is a first take at what could happen with Great Panther, a company whose shareholders and employees are ferociously loyal in their defense of Mr. Archer and his team.
The takeaway for me, a shareholder and almost three-year researcher of Great Panther and Endeavour Silver, is that Great Panther is ready for a merger:
Mr. Archer, seen recently having lunch with Brad Cooke at Joe Martin's Silver Summit in Spokane, Washington, declines to state for the record if any transaction with a second silver producer makes sense for the company. I spoke with him Monday on site and underground … and on Tuesday after his appearance at a lunch with former Mexico President Vicente Fox. Great Panther and Endeavour Silver, in cooperation with Gordon Holmes' wheelchair initiative, were donating about 200 chairs to Mexico families. (See photo: Vicente Fox, Robert Archer and Gordon Holmes, left to right)
"This is the company we built from what was a failed local cooperative. We are tied to the centuries of silver mining tradition here at Valenciana and throughout the district," he says. 'We have always felt responsible for contributing to the community." The company has earned several marks of distinction in the area of community outreach in and around the town of Guanajuato, Leon and at its Topia camp in Durango State.
Another Great Panther team member, VP of Corporate Development Erick Bertsch, asks me, "You are a shareholder … would you take a 20 percent premium? 25 percent? (Thom: Well, no, but 35 percent? Maybe.) Yes, the silver sector is ready for consolidation. Many silver companies would improve their performance with synergies. In our case, GPR has little to no synergy with our Durango holdings (at Topia) and (those of) Endeavour (at Guanacevi). In Guanajuato, yes, there are well known synergies."
Mr. Cooke down the road at Endeavour's Bolanitos states, "We've approached everyone in the district. Most likely we will find another deal before any action in Guanajuato. Not much interest from Bob." Endeavour Silver recently expanded its exploration strategy with silver properties in Chile.
Adds Endeavour's Mr. Walton, who has been with Endeavour Silver since Day One at Guanajuato four years ago: "We're hoping someone in the area just, well, throws in the towel. It takes two sides to talk." (Photo: Mr. Walton and a mill manager at Endeavour's upgraded plant at Bolanitos – Thom Calandra photo)
An ambitious and veteran operations chief at Endeavour, David Howe, has in place a rigorous efficiencies flowchart for his new waste rock contractor. Mr. Howe, a geologist engineer from England, says his team's mine development, in cooperation with exploration targeting by VP of Exploration Barry Devlin, already has identified intensely high-grade veins, some already known and some newly unearthed.
One batch of core at Endeavour's massive shed, just above the silver district's historic Veta Madre vein, was laden with ceracite-speckled samples, indicating a high gold content. The facility has about $12 million worth of core samples, Brad Cooke estimates.
In one tray: five meters of recently assayed half-ounce gold and monstrously rich silver core from the Karina vein. Endeavour's concentrate, shipped presently to its leach mill at Guanacevi, runs about 12 kilos of silver and 150 grams of gold per tonne, or $20,000 for each satellite-monitored truckload to Durango State.
The rub for Endeavour, in its eagerness to expand its milling options, is that the Guanacevi mill's leach circuit "loses" a percentage of the silver. The company is planning a second tank to treat the silver-gold concentrates from Guanajuato.
The higher the silver price, says Endeavour spokesman and corporate relations manager Hugh Clarke, the larger the "lost" dollars per tonne of concentrate. A two-month planning regimen at Endeavour, based like GPR in Vancouver, Canada, will address how the expanding producer copes with its need for mill through-put in 2012.
If Endeavour keeps to form, its production of silver-equivalent ounces (companywide), which grew from 0 (zero) ounces in 2007 to 2.7 million ounces in 2010, will reach at least 4.5 million ounces for 2011. It could double that in 18 months.
Great Panther expects 2.20 silver-equivalent ounces in 2011 vs.2.25 million ounces in 2010 – basically flat and below Mr. Archer's hopes of two years ago.
There is much that might be taking place behind the scenes, based on what I see here at both operations. If I am correct, Great Panther and Endeavour Silver some day, sooner than later, will join their operations in both Guanajuato and Durango states. The silver industry, at least in Mexico, will be the biggest winner. Followed, I pray, by this audience and my portfolio. In the meantime, I will be adding to my stake in Endeavour Silver and coddling my Great Panther shares with great care.
SUNWARD RESOURCES: No substantive comments from the developer of a Titiribi, Colombia, gold and copper property (TSX: V.SWD, Stock Forum), after it "parted ways" with its VP of Exploration, Dr. Amit Tripathi. A founder of Sunward, Vancouver's Phil O'Neill, only would say, "You can understand that we cannot comment." Contacts in Medellin tell me Dr. Tripathi and a director disagreed on exploration strategy. Dr. Tripathi and new CEO Colin Andrew said little to clarify the departure.
Bellhaven Copper & Gold: The Colombia miner (TSX: V.BHV, Stock Forum), my largest position and one of the first Planetary Prospects of the original Ticker Trax By Stockhouse & Thom Calandra, reported a 10 percent strategic investment from Iamgold (TSX: T.IMG, Stock Forum). The shares rose 45 percent. More in Stockhouse Movers.
EUROPE ON LE BUS: In 13 days, I will be accompanying a group of miners, prospectors, professors and promoters across several European cities. The Zimtu road show on a bus will make its way to the Munich Gold Show and visit Zurich, Geneva, Hamburg and Vienna.

The topic: "10x Return Candidates in Ghana, Colombia, Sierra Leone, Quebec and Ethiopia." I go on at 7:35 p.m. Thursday Oct. 27, that's tomorrow - followed by a revealing workshop.

Ok...can't cook yet--stick to raw foods, gathered foods, avoid the meat.
Ok...can cook now but there is no refrigeration, no meat thermometers, etc--you can eat meat, but avoid this...

I have missed you since that first morning I didn't get the honor of checking in with you about the weekend. I will miss you even more after today.
I do promise to get a regular member name and stop in from time to time. It won't be Louise--they retire mod names like beloved sports players or something.
The thing that I want to remind you as I head off to a new adventure--YOU are the community, the heart and soul of the community. You each lead every time you post. You welcome, you show empathy, you share views, you share your lives, and those actions make this community truly wonderful.
Be good to one another. Disagree with ideas and not with personalities. Welcome the new members. Be gentle with the overwhelmed. I know. You know. I have said those things a million times. I mean them though.
I flurry about driving the other mods nuts with last minute do and don'ts...like a first time mom leaving her child with a sitter. I keep reminding myself that the communities I tended were never MINE, each just allowed me a part in the community. Communities belong to the members--that's you.

I also caution against Cholesterol checks post-Passover or if you really like latkes and doughnuts --after Hanukkah.

11/21/05 Hunt Serf
defends her Master!
Here's an e-mail I got from a Martha Powell who doesn't appreciate DallasArena.com's humor or mission and my right to speak my mind in particular (my not being wealthy and all):
Wasn't that sweet? Since she worked so hard on her e-mail and even though I didn't have a clue at the time who she might be, it seemed appropriate for me to respond:
I shared my exchange between the then unknown Martha Powell with some buddies, and got the following responses:
I have to admit the "brainopause" was funny to me, too. So I laughed. Guess two great minds think alike because Chip Northroup sent this one:
Isn't that great? I love "essential Sharon" and "pure Sharon". Wonder what Martha Powell thinks of that? After those two e-mails, I was still wondering (but not too much) about who the eloquent Martha Powell might be. Another buddy furnished the missing piece to the puzzle.
That answered my question, but
I bet it only confuses you. Let me fill in the blanks, so you get the
Let's recall that infamous day
when Weeping William and Flip Flop Oakley lost their composure because Mayor
Miller had the audacity to itemize how much money and potential development we
have already lost on previous bad deals with Ray Hunt. Mayor Miller was
not supposed to shine the light on another Ray Hunt backroom deal. As I
told the e-mailing Ms. Powell (before I knew she
the Ambassador's
secretary), if you get an abatement that waives a portion (as in $6.3 million) of the
taxes that normally would be assessed for your property, you can give it back.
Each year of the shady deal, Ray Hunt could write a check to a police fund he
should establish for new police hires and widows and orphans of murdered police
officers in the amount of the property taxes he did not pay that year.
A belief in master/serf order
for society is not confined to the big shots of either party. Many people see themselves less than equal to another
citizen who happens to have more money. In Ray Hunt's case and my former
employer, both were born to money and went on to make even more.
In Hunt's case, he was born before his daddy married his momma because his daddy was
already married to two other women.
There are people who truly
believe the rich are better than those of us of lesser means. Don't think
only other rich people feel that way. Lots of middle to modest income
people see the wealthy as a ruling class, and are perfectly happy to be
subservient to wealth.

Kent Jones, Patti Pappas, Maxine Lyon, and Councilmember Kathy Hanna-Smith, the committee of Price Community Progress, is assisting Price City departments by trenching an area to supply the Price Peace Gardens with additional power. According to Kathy Hanna-Smith "this will allow us extended use of the gardens for more concerts, public speaking and power for additional holiday lighting and more." The committee believes the Peace Gardens is a "Gathering Place" and want to make it the focal point of downtown and to create a lively center where people can roam throughout our business districts from the east to the west and the north to the south and yet have a beautiful setting to be entertained or to just relax.

Khantia-Mansia (Russian: Ха́нты-Манси́йский автоно́мный о́круг KHAHN-tyh muhn-SEE-skee uhv-tah-NOHM-nee OH-krook), historically known as Yugra, is an autonomous okrug in Russia's Urals Region.
Other destinations[edit]
Believed to be the origin of the Magyars, ancestors of present day Hungarians, Khantia-Mansia is home to tiny but ancient cultures of the Khanti and Mansi peoples. The Khanti and Mansi languages are the closest extant relatives of modern Hungarian.
Khantia-Mansia is of exceptional importance to Russia, as it produces the majority of the country's oil.
Both Khanti and Mansi share official status with Russian, but are not very widely spoken. Everyone will understand Russian.

A collective sigh of relief came out of the Milwaukee County Courthouse when Supervisor Marina Dimitrijevic was appointed by her peers to be the new county board chair, succeeding the often confrontational and controversial Lee Holloway.
To tell it like it is, many folks in the courthouse will not miss the drama that came with Holloway's chairmanship.
Dimitrijevic was elected 4th District supervisor in 2004 and was re-elected to the board in 2008 and 2012. She has the distinction of being the youngest woman ever to be elected to the Milwaukee County Board, at the age of 22.
Since being elected to office, Dimitrijevic's legislative agenda has been focused on supporting the needs of working families, adopting higher energy and environmental standards in Milwaukee County and passing a socially and fiscally responsible budget each year.
Dimitrijevic, the daughter of Serbian immigrants, is a life-long resident of Milwaukee's south side. She resides in the Bay View neighborhood.
"I'm pleased that my colleagues have entrusted me to serve as board chairwoman. I especially want to thank the other four candidates who ran for chairperson. Working closely with them is critical as we work from a team approach to move Milwaukee County forward," Dimitrijevic said. "I look forward to leading the way on important decisions facing the county over the next four years."
Harold Mester, the public information officer for the county board who was appointed by Holloway, said he is looking forward to working with a new chair.
Likewise, Brendan Conway, communications director for Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, said his boss is optimistic about working with Dimitrijevic.
In a statement, Abele said, "Congratulations to Marina Dimitrijevic on being elected as the new chair of the Milwaukee County Board. Your leadership will help guide the board in the coming years. I look forward to working with you and the rest of the board as we work together to improve Milwaukee County."
Dimitrijevic is widely regarded as a member of the liberal wing of the county board, although many insiders say she is a more moderate choice than Supervisor John Weishan Jr. (16th District).
Still, Dimitrijevic immediately becomes a target for the conservative talk radio cabal in town.
On the other side, Mike Tate, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, used the ascension of Dimitrijevic to cast another insult at Gov. Scott Walker. "Scott Walker left Milwaukee County in shambles, including $400 million in pension obligations, raised property tax levies, costly deferred maintenance and a culture of corruption that Wisconsin is just now learning about."
Meanwhile, Abele is regarded as a pragmatic centrist by many supervisors, some of whom did not appreciate some of the steps he took to balance the most recent county budget.
Many county insiders agree that one of the key issues facing the newly reconfigured board is the future of Milwaukee County Transit System with ever-tightened state resources.
Other prominent issues facing the county include employee benefit costs and the future of the Milwaukee County Downtown Transit Center at 909 E. Michigan St.
In addition to voting Dimitrijevic as chair, the board also appointed Supervisor Peggy Romo West (12th District) as first vice-chair and Supervisor Steve Taylor (9th District) as second vice-chair.
In addition to Taylor, other new elected supervisors on the board are: Russell Stamper II, 5th District; David Bowen, 10th District; David Cullen, 15th District; and Deanna Alexander, 18th District.

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin doubles pair Billy Bertha and Ricardo Martin led the Badgers as the Wisconsin men's tennis team started their fall season at the 35th annual Milwaukee Tennis Classic this weekend. The sophomore duo earned three wins and was named the men's doubles champions.
Throughout the weekend, the Badgers gained valuable experience as they faced Ball State, Marquette, and Northwestern in singles and doubles play.
Wisconsin started off play on Friday morning, taking on Ball State and Northwestern in the morning with singles play and Ball State in the afternoon in doubles play.
Bertha grabbed the first win for the Badgers, easily defeating the Wildcat's McCarthy, 6-4, 6-3, in the No. 1 singles spot. The next three Badgers fell in their matches but Wisconsin was able to finish out the match strong with wins by freshmen Alex Robles and Amir Mashal in the No. 5 and 6 spots, respectively.
Bertha and Martin got off to a strong start in doubles play, earning a quick 8-6 win over Ball State's Albertin and Smith. Alexander Teppert and Mashal also paired up in the No. 3 doubles spot to grab a win for Wisconsin.
Wisconsin continued play on Saturday morning, taking on Marquette in singles play. The Badgers earned wins in the No. 1 through 5 singles spots against Marquette.
Saturday afternoon play saw Wisconsin take on Ball State and Northwestern in doubles play. Bertha grabbed his fourth straight overall win of the weekend and second doubles win, downing Northwestern's McCarthy and Reitz, 9-8.
The Badgers finished off play on Sunday, competing in singles play in the morning and finishing off the tournament with doubles play against Marquette.
Bertha found his first loss of the tournament during the early singles play when he fell to BSU's Albertin, 6-4, 6-2. Freshman Pert Satral earned his third win of the weekend easily defeating BSU's Brym, 6-2, 6-1.
During the afternoon session, the UW duo of Bertha and Martin clinched their tournament championship in doubles play by defeating Marquette's Schwein and Mamalat in the No. 1 spot.

ROSEVILLE – Tomorrow, Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius will stand with educators and advocates discussing how strategic investments made in Governor Dayton's budget will advance current efforts and be critical in closing achievement gaps.
Despite strong test scores, Minnesota is widely recognized as having one of the largest achievement gaps in the nation. In crafting his recommendations, Governor Dayton took a comprehensive look at the education of a child, from birth to career. The result is an unprecedented $640 million investment in K-12 and Higher Education that ensures our schools have the resources they need to provide equal opportunities every day for every child.

Joseph Salvatore Ackley is a Western medievalist specializing in Carolingian, Ottonian, and twelfth-century art and architecture. His research focuses on both precious metalwork and the phenomenon of the medieval church treasury. He received his doctorate from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University with a dissertation entitled "'Offer him gold; that is true love': Ottonian gold repoussé and the Western medieval church treasury." His research interests include how metals were defined, understood, and seen by medieval subjects; how issues of material, medium, and object morphology can be incorporated into the art historical narrative of precious metalwork; and how the church treasury served as a site in which a variety of competing interests, among them liturgical, economic, and memorial concerns, intersected. A forthcoming essay explores late medieval precious-metal figural sculpture. More broadly, Dr. Ackley is interested in questions of matter, medium, material identity, object ontology, and what can be loosely termed "the problem of the substrate"—that is, the tension between what we see versus what we know.

Pak SC orders PTI, PAT leaders to clear Constitution Avenue by Thursday
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protesters to vacate the Constitution Avenue which includes a road to the apex court and the Parliament by Thursday, a report said.
A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk was hearing a set of petitions filed by bar associations across the nation against the protest sit-ins organized by the PTI and PAT leaders on Islamabad's Constitution Avenue, reported the Dawn.
The petitioners claimed that the protests were breaching the rights of the common citizen, as spelt out in the Articles 15 and 16 of the Pakistani Constitution, which ensures freedom of movement and right of assembly.
The bench also directed the two parties to review the situation and submit a final report to the court.
The PTI and PAT leaders have been occupying the capital's red zone for over a week now in order to protest against alleged electoral fraud in the 2013 General Elections. The sit-in has made the road inaccessible for government employees.

|The Game Story:
|CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard's men's lacrosse team nearly overcame a six-goal fourth quarter deficit, but Michael Karwoski's late goal stood up as the game-winner as Yale held off the Crimson rally to take a 9-8 victory Saturday at Harvard Stadium.
Yale had built an 8-2 lead through 45 minutes on a four-point effort by attackman Tyler Casertano. But Harvard spun off four goals in the first nine-and-a-half minutes of the fourth quarter to close within two, and the Crimson came within one on Brian Mahler's fast break goal with 1:42 left in regulation. Harvard had an extra-man chance with 1:19 to play, and the Crimson fired three shots at the Yale cage in the last 21 seconds, but the Bulldog defense denied Harvard a good look in the closing seconds.
Yale (7-5 overall, 2-4 Ivy League) scored eight of its nine goals in the first and third quarters, while Harvard (4-7, 2-3 Ivy League) had all of its scoring come in the second and fourth periods. The Crimson finished with a 30-24 advantage in shots after outshooting the Bulldogs by a 19-3 margin in the final 15 minutes, while Harvard held a 32-24 edge in ground balls. Crimson midfielder John Henry Flood enjoyed a terrific day at the faceoff X as he won 15 of 20 starts.
Despite the final statistical advantages, Harvard was not able to overcome Yale's effectiveness on offense in the first quarter as the Bulldogs scored the first four goals of the game. Four different players struck in the first period, with Ben Fuchs giving the visitors a 4-0 lead with 2:41 left in the quarter.
Harvard took control of the second quarter as the Crimson had an 8-3 advantage in shots in the period. The Crimson finally got on the board with 10:24 left in the quarter on Greg Cohen's 14th goal of the season, and Harvard closed to within 4-2 on Brian Mahler's extra-man goal with 3:50 left before halftime.
Yale appeared to break the game open in the third quarter as the Bulldogs put four goals on the board and used a physical ride to allow just one Harvard clear in the period while outshooting the Crimson by a 9-1 margin. Casertano figured in all four Bulldog goals in the third quarter as he fed Brendan Gibson's 30th of the year with 6:34 left before cashing in himself just 20 seconds later to make it 6-2. Casertano got his second of the game with 3:58 left in in the third, and he fed Karwoski's first goal of the game with 1:52 remaining to put Yale on top by six, 8-2.
The Crimson was able to get back in it by scoring a pair of early goals as Cohen fed Evan Calvert with 11:51 left to make it 8-3, and Jason Duboe dodged and scored with 11:09 remaining to bring Harvard within four.
Cohen scored on a restart off a failed Bulldog clear with 6:43 to play to make it a three-goal game, and Flood won the ensuing faceoff to longstick middie Eric Posner, who fed Calvert's second of the day just nine seconds after Cohen's goal to make it 8-6.
Karwoski broke the momentum when his wraparound goal with 4:16 to play gave Yale a three-goal cushion, but Flood again won the faceoff, and freshman Travis Burr scored from 10 yards out to once again bring Harvard within two at 9-7 with 2:53 left.
The Bulldogs saw a turnover in their defensive zone prove costly as P.J. Maglathlin gained possession for Harvard and quickly found Mahler on the left side. Mahler made a move to the goal and ripped a 15-yard shot to the top right corner to make it 9-8 with 1:42 to play.
Flood again won the faceoff -- his seventh win of the fourth quarter - and the Crimson gained an extra-man situation when Yale was flagged for pushing with 1:19 to play. The Crimson was unable to get a shot on the 30-second man-up opportunity, however, and Harvard was forced to call a timeout with 40 seconds left.
Cohen's shot with 21 seconds left was wide left, but Mahler was in place for the ground ball. Mahler made a strong move to gain position in front of the crease, but his shot with seven seconds was denied by a Yale defenseman, and Brooks Scholl's bid from 15 yards was wide as well in the closing seconds.
Yale goalie George Carafides made 11 saves in the Bulldog cage, including four fourth-quarter stops, while Casertano led all scorers with his four-point afternoon. Gibson finished with a goal and two assists.
Harvard got three-point efforts from Mahler, Calvert and Cohen, who all finished with two goals and an assist. Sophomore goalie Joe Pike made five saves in the Crimson cage.
Harvard will complete its 2007 season next Saturday, as the Crimson takes on Dartmouth in Hanover, N.H.

Editorial: Restoration of theater a victory for Holyoke
By The Republican Editorials
April 19, 2010, 12:50AM
The 91-year-old Victory Theater has been dark for more than 30 years, but the beauty that lies beneath its crumbling plaster and faded seats is evident to anyone with an eye for art and history.
Mahogany walls, marble floors, allegorical murals and Art Deco flourishes still shine through the decay and debris.
Over the years, plans to restore the Victory to its former glory never got off the ground, but the city wouldn't give up hope that its rebirth could be accomplished. Now the project is happily back on track – thanks to the efforts of the Massachusetts International Festival of the Arts, the non-profit group that bought the building from the city for $1,500 in September.
The Victory's red-carpet moment won't come until Dec. 30, 2012 when it's scheduled to reopen. But there was plenty of scope for imagination on Friday when state officials held a press conference to announce that historic tax credits have been approved toward the $27 million renovation. The first installment, a $600,000 grant, was presented to developers at the 81-89 Suffolk St. property. The arts group is counting on such federal and state tax incentives to lure investors to finance the project along with government grants and private contributions.

So, you've been running your e-commerce business for a while now, and you've decided that it's time to take your operation to the next level. Perhaps you're thinking about increasing your advertising, running a few promotions, or accepting orders from overseas. Are you confident that your infrastructure can cope with the extra activity?
It's all too common for companies to falter when they try to expand. The damage that your brand can suffer as a result of late shipping, mixed up orders, or other mailing problems can be hard to recover from. That's where contract packing and mailing fulfilment services come in. They can help your business grow and avoid typical teething problems that can see a business go from hero to zero in a matter of weeks.
Don't Be Afraid to Outsource
Some people are wary of outsourcing jobs such as contract packing, either because of the cost, or because they're worried about losing control of their brand. However, both of those concerns are a little outdated.
Modern mailing fulfilment services are a lot more flexible than the offerings of even a few years ago. Their sophisticated computers are able to handle compliments slips, invoices, and packing notes for each of their customers. This ensures that you are still able to add a 'personal' message to each delivery, giving your customer the feeling that you've dealt with each order yourself, even though the packing takes place hundreds of miles away from your HQ.
If you're still unsure then why not take advantage of the different levels of contract packing services available. Many of these will allow you to carry out a test run where you pay for a set number of deliveries, just to see if you get on with the process or not. If you find that things don't work out, then you haven't committed to a large investment, but if you're happy with the mail fulfilment service that you receive, then you can easily look at other contract options, or perhaps even arrange a flat fee service.
Customer Services and Returns
Another area that you will have to consider if you choose to expand your business is customer service and returns. Many contract packing services will happily handle returns for you, but this doesn't cover taking customer phone calls. You will still need to have someone on hand to handle calls and emails from any disgruntled or inquisitive customers. Often, small companies handle this in house, but if you're running a promotion that could see sales soar in a very short space of time, then you may want to bring in a few extra hands for the duration of your offer. You should also keep in mind that you may want those hands for a week or so after the end of the promotion too, to handle any queries, comments, or complaints that may arise.
There are many web-based customer service offerings that allow for short term contracts to help out situations like the one discussed above – although it may not be suitable for every business. For example, if your products are complex, and support staff would need thorough training before being allowed to interact with your customer base, then short term outsourcing could do more harm than good to your company's reputation.
In the long term, building up a relationship with separate companies for mailing fulfilment, support, and marketing will go a long way towards helping your company grow. Outsourcing is used by even the biggest of companies these days – and with good reason. You, as the core of your company, are an expert in whatever product or service it is that you offer. The outsourcing companies are experts in what they do. Two experts working together can provide a much, much better service than one company trying to be a jack of all trades.

|This route seemed a little dirty at first, but after climbing a few more routes in this area made this seem pretty clean. A little more traffic would help clean this up and make it more fun. There are really only small pebbles left to clean off this route. It was fun with some interesting moves. Get on it, and help clean it a little bit, but be nice to your belayer.

UNDATED – (DRG News) Today and Thursday bring "Wheat Walks" to a handful of locations in central and western South Dakota. Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist with SDSU Extension at the Winner Regional Extension Center says there will be a Wheat Walk near Harrold this afternoon and two similar events are planned tomorrow near Draper and Hayes. He says the annual events bring experts from SDSU's plant science department together so producers can speak with each expert about winter or spring wheat-and ask questions. Fanning says SDSU Extension Agronomy Field and State Specialists will discuss plant pathology, weed control and more.
Fanning says though some winter wheat in south central South Dakota planted into fields without a lot of residue was abandoned because the winter was too tough; in general, the crop seems to be doing okay.
Fanning says representatives from the South Dakota Wheat Commission and South Dakota Wheat Incorporated will be on hand at the "Wheat Walks" and there is no charge to attend. Producers are invited to bring samples from their own fields if they have questions. For more information and location details, visit http://igrow.org/ or call the SDSU Extension Center in Winner at 842-1267.
