SEATTLE - Stunned but not debilitated at being down 10-0 to Syracuse in the first quarter of their home opener, the Washington Huskies gathered around Steve Sarkisian on the sidelines.
"Hey, we're going to be fine," the coach told his Dawgs. "We really don't have to make everything up all at once.
"But we do have to get our energy up."
Sarkisian repeated the message at halftime. Hours later he said, "I didn't want our energy to drop. Last week, it did."
It's amazing what speed does for a team's energy.
Jermaine Kearse ran through arm tackles while setting career highs with nine receptions, 179 yards and three touchdowns, Jake Locker was 22 for 33 for 289 yards while equaling a career-best with four scoring throws and the dashing Dawgs sprinted past flat-footed Orange 41-20 in a joyous home opener on Saturday.
"He made a lot of things happen once I got the ball in his hands," Locker said. "It was easy for me. I just made a couple of 10-yard passes."
Locker raised his completion percentage to 60 percent through two games, with 555 yards passing, five touchdowns passing, another running - and best of all, no turnovers. Sarkisian called the senior's Saturday "tremendous."
Chris Polk joined in the impromptu Husky Track Invitational by sprinting past the Orange for 117 yards on 20 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown run that made it 34-13 early in the fourth quarter. And Mason Foster had 10 tackles, forced a fumble and added two sacks for a defense that was far more aggressive than it was the previous week.
That's not to say the day was perfect for Washington (1-1). Locker bruised his left wrist when a Syracuse defensive lineman lowered his helmet into it and his chest late in the third quarter. The wrist was taped as Locker threw his fourth touchdown pass, 14 yards to Devin Aguilar in the final period, and it was encased in ice following the game. But it being his non-throwing wrist - and Nebraska - means the indispensible Husky should be fine to start next Saturday's showdown with sixth-ranked Cornhuskers (2-0) inside a sure-to-be-roaring Husky Stadium.
"It's great. It's just bruised," Locker said.
One week after a 23-17 defeat at Brigham Young which they felt they gave away with many mistakes, the Huskies made more on special teams to fall behind 10-0 to Syracuse (1-1) after 10½ minutes.
But this wasn't Provo, Utah. The home-again Huskies scored the next 27 points by simply running through the Orange to improve to 36-14 at Montalke following a road loss since 1975.
It was Washington's first win in a home opener since 2007 when it beat Boise State. That was a week after Locker's scintillating collegiate debut as a redshirt freshman, a blowout win at Syracuse 30 starts ago.
The moment that turned around Washington's early 2010 season came on the first play after halftime. Kearse took a short pass on a three-step drop by Locker. The powerful, 6-foot-2 junior bulled through a weak attempt at an arm tackle, sped behind a great, extended block outside by Aguilar, then broke through another arm tackle and into the clear down the sideline.
His 57-yard touchdown shook Husky Stadium - not to mention the Orange. Washington led 20-10 and didn't look back.
"The place was rockin', man," Locker said of that scene.
Presto! Sarkisian's halftime message had brought the desired result.
"What we had to learn from last week was to bring our energy over into the third quarter," the second-year coach said. "That play was indicative of how we were going to play in the second half, of the energy."
It - and most of Kearse's other catches - were also indicative of Sarkisian's promise to get back to calling the plays Locker and the offense are most comfortable running, to get the offense into a rhythm. In the frustrating opener at BYU, Washington rolled up 394 yards but scored just 17 points.
"Without a doubt. We had to get Jake feeling good about throwing the football again," Sarkisian said. "The short-passing game is a big part of our offense, and I didn't want to lose it."
Two drives later, Washington used the same combination: a short pass to Kearse, great blocking outside and a lopsided foot race. Kearse ran behind a great block from D'Andre Goodwin, broke another Syracuse arm tackle and scored from 28 yards out to make it 27-10 for the Huskies with 6:20 left in the third quarter.
The lead became 34-13 with 2 minutes gone in the fourth quarter when Polk ran past everyone for his 52-yard score.
Washington rallied from being down 10-0 after 10 and a half minutes to take a 13-10 lead on two field goals by Erik Folk and Locker's 5-yard touchdown pass to a leaping, reaching Kearse just inside the goal line late in the second quarter.
Kearse exquisite grab came on his fingertips with his arms fully extended and a Syracuse defender on his back.
Kearse caught six of Locker's 13 completions in the first half. It was one more than Kearse had while leading the team in receptions last week, when he was angry with himself for dropped balls.
"I worked hard this week," said Kearse, who didn't even start the first three games of last season for Sarkisian. "I felt I had to elevate my game. That (BYU) game motivated me."
More mistakes by Washington's special teams put the offense and defense in bad spots to begin the game.
The game's first score came after an unnamed Husky was flagged for an unusual face-mask penalty during a Syracuse punt - after the Huskies' defense had started with a three and out. The 15-yard foul extended the Orange's drive to the Huskies' 34. Quarterback Ryan Nassib then broke outside containment on third and 4, broke a tackle try by lunging Cort Dennison - who was everywhere and had 12 tackles otherwise in his second career start at middle linebacker -- and scored on a 28-yard run.
Washington's first drive started at its on 6 because of an illegal block on the kickoff return.
Then a low, line-drive punt by walk-on Kiel Rasp - the replacement with Will Mahan out for the year facing reconstructive knee surgery - had the Huskies' punt-coverage team out of position. Syracuse returner Mike Holmes returned that 16 yards to the Washington 49.
Syracuse converted that into a 29-yard field goal by Ross Krautman. The Huskies were down 10-0 before many in purple had reached their seats.
"We were (ticked) off, but we were fine," Dennison said. "We knew we were a better team than we showed at that point in the game.
"I really think it's a sign of growth. Maybe last year, we would have gotten our heads down and dwelled on it. This year, we turned everything into a positive."
And how. Washington's track meet began soon after.
And now momentum is wearing purple heading into Saturday's mega meeting with Nebraska.

When choosing a water pump type and size, there are several factors to include in your decision:
Besides simply powering your filtration system and providing water movement in your aquarium, water pumps can also be used to power other devices such as protein skimmers, to drain or fill your tank, or even to mix up saltwater in holding tanks for water changes.
If you are looking for a pump to power your filtration system, there are two different types of pumps to consider: submersible and in-line. Some of the more versatile pumps, such as the
Mag Drive pumps and the
Eheim hobby pumps, can be used either submerged or in-line.
Submersible Water Pumps
Submersible water pumps are run completely underwater, usually in the sump of a wet/dry filtration system. They draw water from the filter, and push it back into the aquarium, or through other devices, such as chillers or UV sterilization units. There are several advantages to a submersible pump: they are easy to install because they don't require you to drill and install a bulkhead in your filter system; and they tend to be a little quieter because they run underwater.
The main disadvantage with submersible pumps, especially the more powerful ones, is that they are water cooled, so that means unwanted heat may be added to your aquarium water. Additionally, your filter's sump may have limited space for a pump, so the dimension of the submerged pump is an important consideration.
In-line Water Pumps
In-line water pumps are used out of the water, and are connected to an inlet hose and outlet hose used to filter your aquarium water. The major advantage of in-line pumps is that they are air-cooled, which means they may add less heat to the water. They are often more powerful pumps, able to move more gallons per hour. In-line water pumps can be installed in one of two configurations: pressure setups or free-flow setups. The
Lifegard Quiet One pump may be successfully used in either configuration. Other in-line pumps are optimized for one specific configuration.
NOTE: Very high head heights (6 or more feet) can create high levels of back pressure. Remember to consider head height when choosing your water pump.
This type of configuration normally places the pump before a canister filtration system. The pump forces water under pressure into the canister system. Pumps configured in this type of setup receive a substantial amount of back pressure from the filtration device. Some in-line pumps, such as the
Little Giant MDQ series pumps are specially built to handle back pressure with ease.
This type of configuration often places the pump after the filtration has already occurred, such as a wet/dry filter. The pump takes the filtered water from the sump, and sends it back up into the aquarium, or possibly through additional devices, such as UV sterilizers or protein skimmers. Pumps configured in this type of setup receive very little back pressure. Therefore, they are often able to move more water with less effort. Some in-line pumps, such as the
Little Giant MDQX series is specially built for maximum efficiency in these low-pressure situations.

I have so much to do in the garden right now, but we're in the middle of a heat wave and I've completely lost motivation for weeding, raking, mowing… pretty much everything except sitting, and filling and emptying water glasses. I know things are only getting worse, but I can't even care right now, between being overwhelmed and being hot.
I did spend some time with my first-grader, going through the marvellous stack of papers he's brought home from school. (I know, they've been waiting for two full weeks. Sue me.) Amongst them I found this, which is now going to live, framed, in my shed, as a sweet reminder not to over-complicate the joy of growing.

Visiting Scholar Lecture to feature ASU professor, Thomas Catlaw
April 17, 2012
5-6:30 p.m. EST
Sports Medicine Building, First Floor Conference Room (1300 West Broad Street)
Contact: Nancy Stutts at (804) 827-2164 or email@example.com
On Tuesday, April 17, the Wilder School will host its spring 2012 Visiting Scholar Lecture in the Sports Medicine Building, featuring Thomas J. Catlaw, Ph.D. The event will be held in the first floor conference room from 5-6:30 p.m. A light reception will follow.
Catlaw is an associate professor of public affairs at the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. His lecture entitled "Post-Representational Governance: Rethinking Democracy from the Ground Up" is free and open to the public. His most recently published book, "Fabricating the People: Politics and Administration in the Biopolitical State," examines the precipitous rise in American antigovernment sentiment since the 1960s. Catlaw is the former editor of "Administrative Theory and Praxis," the leading journal on public administration theory. His research interests include public administration theory, history and foundations of public administration, authority and legitimacy, political participation and representation and social and political theory. Catlaw obtained his Ph.D. and M.P.A. in Public Administration from George Washington University and a B.A. in International Studies from Trinity College.
The Visiting Scholar Lecture is now in its 16th year and was instituted by VCU public administration faculty in 1996. It provides an opportunity for students, faculty, alumni and friends to meet and hear notable scholars in the field of public administration and public policy. Each year, the faculty selects a colleague whose scholarly work has advanced the field and has resulted in a recently authored work of interest to public administration students. The lecture may be on that topic or on another topic of the scholar's choosing. The Visiting Scholar Lecture is supported in large part by alumni donations. We look forward each year with anticipation to this event which has become a fond part of the school's academic heritage.

Jillian Michaels Rips Into Mother Over Obese Son
September 24, 2011 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
The season 12 premiere of The Biggest Loser on NBC, was odd this week without trainer Jillian Michaels, but Jillian has been busy fighting other battles. Recently, Jillian Michaels ripped into a mother over her obese son. What happened? Read on to find out!
Former star of The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels may not be fighting obesity with the show's contestants these days, but she is fighting in other forms. More recently, Jillian Michaels paid a visit to Dr. Phil, where she ripped into a mother, whose 4-year-old son weighed 122 lbs. The child's mother, claimed to be feeding him a strict and healthy diet, but Jillian was not buying it, asking the woman what she felt like when she fed her son.
And it didn't end there, Jillian Michaels continued to grill the mother as she said to her: "Do you want to help this kid? You have a 4-year-old you are literally killing and I don't find it cute and I don't find it funny to the point I wish I could call Child Protective Services." In an attempt to tackle the rising epidemic of obesity in children, Dr. Phil and Jillian Michaels are using this "tough love" approach, not to belittle the parents, but to help them see the err of their ways.
What's your take on Jillian Michaels' "tough love" approach to tacking childhood obesity? Comment and share your thoughts with us!

Upon overhearing my sister Dolour say "rent-a-friend," my ever-curious mind was instantly triggered. I can't get my head off of the thought. It even haunted me during bedtime.
My fingers were itching to write.
I know houses are for rent, cars too, gowns, and just recently, bags and accessories also, but friends? This is something new and interesting.
Yet as I research more about this "friend for rent," I learned that it has been a trend and a huge business going on in Japan for a couple of years now! There are actually rent-a-friend companies with 30 or so agents being paid to pretend! What a wower!
But why rent a friend?
I learned that Japanese are very much concerned on social status. Brides and grooms rent friends to attend their wedding just to impress their wife or husband-to-be and the rest of their genuine guests. With $150, a best man or a maid of honor comes in handy.
Some even rent colleagues and bosses. I was surprised why they do such — it's because of the present recession where many Japanese lose their jobs. They tug along fake bosses just to make an impression of having a nice, decent job!
It's the fear of belittlement and embarrassment as an unemployed. It's pretty ironic why and how they could spend extra yens at the peak of their financial struggle. It's pathetic to conclude that they still give "social status" a better rate than practicality, specially in these days of crises.
I don't think I have the guts to fool my friends, specially myself in doing such acting.
They likewise rent cliques on different parties and social gathering. Japanese are fond of jamming with vidoeke, and with 15,000 yens, they have an instant sanguine friend to brag about. A little extra fee is charged when the phony friend sings or does a dance or a speech!
It's interesting how they do this kind of business. The agents or the pretenders, if I may say, need to know at least enough about their "friend" and should answer every question the true friends will throw. One wrong answer or a dead air might ruin the reputation of the agent and the company he/she is working for.
My amazement intensified as I found out that "friends" are not the only ones available on the rack. Even "aunties," "uncles," "brothers," "sisters," even "mothers" and "fathers." Name it, the rent-a-friend companies in Japan (which was said to have grown to 10) got it, in different ages and personalities!
But I was a bit saddened upon discovering some of their reasons why they rent such boguses: some divorced women rent "fathers" for their sons being bullied at school; some rent "uncles" to attend school soccer games as a number-one fan cheering his heart out for poor teenagers whose true uncles or fathers are absent on their championship game; some even rent "husbands" or "lovers" just to find a little solace in their sort of "loveless lives."
This made me think of how lucky we are as Filipinos having a tight family bond. I am very blessed my family and friends were present on my celebrated days — on my 18th birthday, I had family and friends present more than I could ever ask for; on my wedding day, my aunties overseas even took a vacation to be there; my parents, as we were growing up, attended our school activities to show love and support. I couldn't ask for more.
This value we put on family ties made a low divorce rate in t he country.
It is also amazing how we could find "family compounds" in almost anywhere in the Philippines; even Americans were amazed how up-to 100 people who are relatives live together in an array of houses.
Indeed, we are a family-centered country. And nowadays, with all the elements trying to dismantle and degrade the family, we should keep the knot tight.

Central Library: One week to closing
The downtown facility's 2 million-plus items are headed for new home
John Young, 32, arrives at the Central Library downtown nearly every day to look for work using the public computer lab and update his website on Japanese anime.
Scott Moomjian, a historic preservation attorney, heads for the California Room to research property records for clients.
Sibina Johnson, 60, who lives on the streets of downtown, spends three or four days a day in the Newspaper Room and other parts of the library to search for innovation news that she hopes to sell to others who don't have time to look.
"This is an excellent library with an excellent collection," Johnson said.
More than a thousand daily users take advantage of 2.6 million books, magazines, DVDs and CDs, government documents – even memorabilia of Major League Baseball – that fill the three-story building and its two basements at 820 E St.
But come 5 p.m. Sunday, June 9, the doors will shut for 10 weeks. The 72-member staff will box up more than 125 years of collections and move them to 300 Park Blvd, site of the new, $185 million dome-topped San Diego Central Library library.
See Treasures of the Central Library in this story gallery
Shedding not a tear over the move is Marco Thorne, 98, who was assistant librarian when the present building opened on June 27, 1954. He served as city librarian from 1970 to 1978.
"It's served its purpose," Thorne said. "The old Carnegie building (on the same site from 1902 to 1952) served its purpose. But you can feel a little sad."
Deborah Barrow, the present city librarian for nearly five years, remembers as a native San Diegan meeting friends during school days for study groups at the building.
"It's an extreme honor to be in this position working at the library that I was able to use so many years ago and to be one of the people who have the responsibility to open that new library," Barrow said.
The city established its public library system in 1882 but took 20 years to open its first permanent building. It was made possible by a $60,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, his first to a city west of the Mississippi. And when it outgrew the space, another 40 years passed before the present $2 million, 144,524-square-foot building opened.
Its few frills included two exterior bas-reliefs by local sculptor Donal Hord, representing Eastern and Western civilization. The privately funded Wangenheim Room was set aside as a treasure house of rare books.
Innovations included a check-out desk at the front door, an information counter just beyond the entrance and column-free spaces that maximized flexibility. The budget and site were not big enough to accommodate onsite parking and building code changes doomed plans for adding two floors later.
But the late city librarian Clara Breed in her 1983 book, "Turning the Pages," said the building was impressive enough to prompt the State Department to arrange tours for visiting librarians from around the world.
"It was built not like a monument but like a department store," said Thorne, who succeeded Breed and acknowledged the work of local architects William Templeton Johnson and George Hatch and a variety of national consultants.
Unlike department stores that change displays every season, the Central Library is a building frozen in time. The same solid furniture has remained in service all these years. Even shelves were salvaged from the Carnegie Library and reused.
Of course, the collection has grown from books and LPs to iPads and DVDs, and the old card catalog has given way to online service that links to collections around the world.

A speakeasy turned inside out: this is Momofuku alum Daniel Burns' new concept Luksus (Danish for "luxury"). Nestled inside the Greenpoint favorite Tørst, Luksus is a Scandinavian spin on the biergarten. For a back room, the space is light and airy, and the food is all clean lines, too. A week after the opening, Chef Burns dishes about taking a leap of faith and drinking to it.
Why did you decide to partner with Tørst for this new venture?
It seemed like a good opportunity not only for the neighborhood but also a really great opportunity to do something with beer. I think it's just a natural thing to pair beer with food. A lot of people are getting interested in it and wanting to learn more about it.
So you're a Greenpoint fan?
I've lived in the city four years, and I moved right to Greenpoint. It's my neighborhood.
Did you approach Tørst or did they come to you?
It got started when world-renowned "gypsy brewer" and beer consultant Jeppe was trying to look for someone to make a beer bar. After finishing at Momofuku I knew the next thing I would do was my own spot, so it was good timing for everyone involved.
Jeppe pairs beers for every menu item. Do you think about making your food beer-friendly?
Trying to think of pairing with a certain beer would be super difficult, so I make the menu based on seasonality and experimentation, and then we do the beer afterwards.
What's on the menu right now?
I want to try to change the menu quite frequently, every 4 or 5 weeks. Right now when you sit down there are three snacks—it's good to start the menu with snacks that you eat with your hands. There's a ham-flavored chip I stumbled upon. And the dessert is with rhubarb and beets. That one's funny: it's paired with Blåbaer, which is actually the word for blueberry in Danish, so it's a blueberry beer and it's also kinda a joke on Justin Bieber. I want to change a few things already—corn and blueberries are really coming up, and peppers. A corn and blueberry dessert and beef tartare with peppers.
What's your favorite beer?
I like IPAs, and I like sour beers—a lot of it's a seasonal thing. In the summer you want to drink the lighter ones.
Jeppe's paired the following snacks and swigs. Pick out your favorite flavors to pair at home!
Ham & Vinegar Chip, Mussel & Dulse, Carrot & Beet + Mikkeller's It's Alive! Rhubarb (Belgian wild ale)
Radish with Razor Clam, Cucumber and Bone Marrow + Evil Twin's Femme Fatale Brett (American IPA)
Braised Little Gem with Chanterelle, Pea Broth and Egg + Evil Twin's Noma Juniper (dark)
Lamb with Sunchoke and Lamb Tongue Salad + Rodenbach Grand Cru (red ale)
Rhubarb with Beet, Pea, and Anise + Evil Twin's Justin Blåbaer (blueberry, Bieber)
Luksus, 615 Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint.

Volunteers show up and get it done
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Public Courts tournament has zoomed past its golden anniversary and shows no signs of slowing down in this, its 54th year.
But tournament directors Kim and Rory Isaac know the annual tennispalooza in Charleston would be long gone and forgotten if not for a dedicated group of sponsors and volunteers who keep coming back for more every year.
"There's no way to run a tournament this size for nine straight days without having all these people come out and help us,'' Kim Isaac said. "They know each year what role they play and how they can help, and they just show up and do it.
"It's just fabulous to have them as part of it. They are the success of the tournament. We really feel blessed to have them all involved.''
Kim Isaac estimated that about 25 people volunteer their time and efforts for various - sometimes mundane - duties that include working draw sheets at the tournament desk, setting up the courts, removing rainwater with squeegees, carrying score cards, handling T-shirts, packing coolers, serving drinks and working with sponsors.
That's before, during and after matches of a tournament that sports 40 divisions of competition and more than 400 players.
"There's a lot of work getting ready for the tournament,'' said Bobby White, who for many years roamed those same Schoenbaum Courts in Kanawha City serving as tennis coach at George Washington High School. "And that's what these guys do.''
Christi Smith, who used to coordinate play at Coonskin Park when some Public Courts matches were contested there, said she's been a volunteer "for so long I can't remember'' when she started.
"After working up there [at Coonskin],'' Smith said, "I'd come back down here and help - pick up trash, whatever needed done.''
Don Vredeveld, a past Public Courts director and past president of the local United States Tennis Association district, said he's been connected with the Charleston tournament for 30 years.
"It's community service,'' said Vredeveld, whose son Bud serves as the tennis pro at Glade Springs resort in Daniels. "I've been involved in tennis for a long time, and it all started with taking my kid to tennis tournaments. It was fun. It was good father-son bonding stuff.
"We've run a lot of tournaments, and I've always enjoyed working in this tournament. A lot of other tournaments are work. This one is fun, and that's primarily what it's supposed to be.''
Tom Hanna, another former Public Courts director, like Vredeveld keeps coming back to assist in any way he can. He began as a volunteer in 1974.
"This started out as a tournament for the average player,'' said Hanna, who entered the inaugural Public Courts event in 1959 as a 15-year-old.
"Tennis was a club sport, but at the time they were trying to introduce tennis to the average kid, and get school tennis started. Of course, they had a rule for a number of years that if you were a very good player, you were banned from this tournament. That list kept getting more and more names on it, but it eventually got dropped.''
Hanna said the allure of the Public Courts is that even past Kanawha Valley residents come back home to compete so that they can renew acquaintances with old friends.
"You've got the same people coming back every year,'' Hanna said. "People from out of town come back for a week to play in this tournament, and to see people they remember. It's almost like a reunion of tennis players in this area. People who don't play in any other tournament play in this one.''
George Bsharah, a manager at Charleston Tennis Club, grew up in Boone County and started getting involved in tennis in his 30s. His friendship with the Isaacs helped him get connected with the Public Courts.
"This is just a community thing,'' Bsharah said. "It's more than tennis each year. It's as much a social event. As far as a tennis player in this community, this is the event they look forward to every year, more than any other tournament. Other clubs have weekend tournaments and people have fun, but this is the one everyone wants to play in and everyone wants to win.
"But people look forward to coming down and seeing old friends. And they raise scholarship money for the scholarships they give away. It's kind of a special tournament. A lot of people through the years have helped as sponsors and volunteers and everybody pitches in and gets it done. It takes a whole community to do it. Just four, five people cannot do this tournament.''
Rory Isaac noted that volunteers don't have to have a long background in the sport to make a big difference.
Isaac told a story about 12-year-old London Straughter showing up one day at the tennis hut next to the Kanawha City courts in 2003, wondering if he could help.
Straughter, now 22, is an indispensable part of the Public Courts team, Isaac said, who works sometimes for 12 hours straight, even after arriving right from his normal job, or from other volunteer work with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
"Basically, he could run this site today,'' Isaac said, "and probably do it better than I do. He's quite a young man. We've gotten really, really close.''

Who was I until you
a dreamer of dreams askew
in your touch I was found
where dreams undreamed abound.
You woke me to a day anew
wrapped in your arms I found love true
the whisper of your love sincere
my life's most treasured souvenir.
The treasures that I never sought
more cherished than I ever thought
the smiles on our children's faces
magnum opuses from loves embraces.
My dearest wife, who am I with you
a dreamer of dreams that all came true.

Ok! I was using these puncture resistant tubes on my back rim of my MTB now turned urban mule. I had puncture resistant tubes on there but they weighed 90 lbs each so I switched them out for standard tubes. Now, I got a hole on the rim side of the tube. So I bought some velox tape and replaced that on the rim and I got another one in one day. I pulled the tape off and ran my finger over where the spoke comes through the rim (I'm sure it has a name) and I feel some slight sharp edges. Nothing like a pinhead or anything like that but I can feel it. Can that be my problem or is there something that I am missing to rim tape?
I should also add that I didn't have this problem when I used low pressure tires but now that I am at higher pressures, it is happening. This is what has me wondering if the sharp spots can be the problem.
It has made my girl unreliable and I can't ride anywhere. HELP ME! If I took it to my lbs would they be able to tell me?

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
In a recent speech at the annual "SEC speaks" event, current Securities and Exchange Commission chair Elisse Walter placed the word "crowdfunding" immediately after the word "soon."
Well, that seems like progress.
Of course, I could just be engaging in the time-honored tradition of over-parsing every word uttered by a beltway insider in search of clues about what's going on inside the government. Here's the complete sentence:
"Soon, crowdfunding will bring the potential for a broader range of investors to provide private capital, although their investments will be and should be limited. "
As most people that have ever visited this site -- or listened to our recent podcast on the status of Title II and Title III of the JOBS act (those are the parts that impact equity crowdfunding) recorded less than 48 hours before Walter's talk -- can attest, the implementation of the law is a little behind schedule.
- JOBS Act Crowdfunding Will Happen: Sara Hanks
- Mary Jo White to lead SEC?
- Proposed Qualification Exam for Crowd Investing
The frustrating part about the JOBS Act timeline is the lack of someone to point a finger at (OK, so maybe Mary Schapiro slowed things down a bit, but she's out of the picture now). The wheels of Washington bureaucracy just simply are not designed to turn very quickly, especially when you're trying to create a new class of security just a few years after some (completely different) little-understood financial instruments helped take down the global economy.
But the SEC is now providing a light at the end of the tunnel.
"We are busily working on getting a recommendation to the commission," Lona Nallengara, acting director of the agency's Division of Corporation Finance told the crowd at the event, according to the Wall Street Journal. He called it a "top priority" for Walter.
There is a caveat, of course, in the form of new types of investor limits and disclosure requirements. None of this is exactly a surprise, but given the vocal concerns from critics in recent months over the potential for crowdfunding fraud, it will be interesting to see exactly how the SEC proposes to strike a balance between creating investor protections while also maintaining an efficient market. That basic and predictable theme has permeated almost every sentence spoken or written by any representative of the SEC in the last year.
So then, back to the parsing.
In Washington speak, phrases like "busily working," "a top priority" and "as soon as possible" are very positive signs, although perhaps not as positive as they sound.
That's because "soon" in Washington is a very relative concept. There are still recommendations to be made, public comment periods to be announced, the impending confirmation of a new SEC chair and whatever unforeseen crises that lurk just around the corner to account for.
So, practically speaking, it's pretty much impossible to imagine that we would have a crowdfunding framework in place before Q3. That puts a late summer / fall start in the realm of our current "best case scenario."
Now, time to self-parse my own words.
The term "best case scenario" when used by a journalist referring to the federal bureacracy is probably better interpreted as "slim to none."
That means Q4 is the period serious betting people might begin to look to. And Q1 2014 and beyond is when cynical people might bet on.
One last parse.
When talking about "cynical people" in the context of current day Washington, the prevailing wisdom of the crowd tells us it is safe to substitute "realistic" for "cynical." So then, "realistically" we're talking no crowdfunding this year.
If you've managed to follow along this far, the clear -- or clearly over-parsed -- conclusion is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for equity crowdfunding, but it just might be one long damn tunnel.

Celebrity Moms & Babies
Jessica Alba Worries Daughter Honor Is Growing Up Too Fast
"Kids should be kids" is an age-old mantra that many parents can stand by. But what happens when the little ones suddenly trade playing in the mud and using their imagination for an emotional, intellectual, or even fashion growth spurt? Celebrity mama Jessica Alba says she's struggling with her oldest daughter's suddenly mature sense of style.
Jessica recently opened up to People magazine about her struggle with 5-year-old Honor, saying, "Honor likes wearing heels and dresses and I'm like 'No! [Don't you want to] climb a tree?'"
The 32-year-old Sin City 2 starlet has always been on point with her own fashion game so it's no wonder little Honor is picking up what she's putting down. And from what we're hearing she may not just have to deal with Honor's fashionista tendencies. Jessica's younger daughter, 2-year-old Haven, gets her big sister's hand-me-downs, so both girls could be hitting fast-forward on their childhood!
We can understand Jessica's concern, although from our experience, while the heels could be scaled back for several years, dresses aren't anything to be worried about. This little lady just wants to look good!
Have you had to deal with your children growing up too fast? Do you have any advice for Jessica? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

To be fair, from that perspective, I'm not really sure we would actually have Umbreon since one could say it was practically made for the introduction of the Dark type. Where as with Steelix, they could have placed it under Rock/Ground if need be. That being said, the whole purpose of Dark and Steel being introduced back in Gen II in the first place was because the type system was off balance and it needed to be better rounded off going into another generation. Should they introduce another type, they would have to go through the type system once again and make sure it remains balanced.
I disagree with the argument that says the lack of newer types limits GameFreak's creativity when it comes to bringing in new Pokémon. You can't really say that when there's still a number of type combinations they have yet to use.

Lux artist scrapes away at his next discovery
Emilio Perez's focus is on 'painting for the sake of painting'
Artist Emilio Perez
Where: Lux Art Institute, 1550 S. El Camino Real, Encinitas
When: In residence through Saturday; special "Studio Series" event 5:30 p.m. Tuesday; on exhibit through Dec. 31
Admission: $5
Phone: (760) 436-6611
The day after artist Emilio Perez arrived at Lux Art Institute in early November, he did two things: He started on a large-scale, three-panel painting, and he went surfing at Swami's.
"I'm an OK surfer, but it's not like I grew up in Southern California," Perez said. "I'm going to be the kook out in the lineup."
It's clear, however, that Perez — who was born in 1972 in New York, grew up in Miami and now works in Brooklyn — is no poser. His most recent exhibition ("Rivers Always Meet the Sea") was at Paris' Galerie Lelong, and last year he had solo shows at Lelong's New York gallery and the CTRL Gallery in Houston. Lelong is also showcasing his art in its space at Art Basel Miami Beach, which closes today.
Despite the enigmatic titles to his paintings ("There's a Baby in the Deep End" and "The Rooster That Never Crows" are among a dozen pieces at Lux), Perez is an artist who creates genre-defying work that has no agenda and isn't about anything — except the sheer joy and exuberance of painting itself.
"The way I look at it, it's painting for the sake of painting," said Perez, whose pieces are in the permanent collection of his hometown museum, the Miami Art Museum. "I've developed a dynamic sort of process where I can grow and flex and do the stuff I want to do. As to what the meaning is, or what you see in it, that's really up to the viewer."
Evolution of an artist
While most painters work in an additive manner, placing layer upon layer upon layer of paint to create a finished piece, Perez's distinguishing quality is he creates his work by subtracting layers.
In creating his energy-infused paintings, Perez first applies a background (solid in his earlier works, multicolored in his more recent pieces). Then he paints over it with a thick coating of white paint. On top of that he applies swirls of color. And then he takes out his knife and starts cutting out tiny lines and shapes, revealing the layers underneath. He will paint some more, cut some more, paint some more, cut some more in a process that can take weeks, even if each step is done quickly and spontaneously.
"If I planned it out ahead of time, it wouldn't be the same," Perez said. "People ask: 'Do you know what you are going to do?' And I have no idea. In developing my work over the years, I've found that any forced changes I've tried to make have never been successful. The work has really evolved on its own — sometimes not as quickly as I've wanted it to, but it's a natural process. I can't push it."
He started playing with canvasses early, using his mother's paints while growing up in Miami, where his family finally settled after moving from New York and then Brazil.
"We'd go to Chesapeake Bay in the summers, and she'd find these shells," he said. "They had these giant clam shells, piles of them, and she'd get a bunch and paint birds on them. Then she'd make a base out of rocks and shells and stuff and throw them together. I was always painting around her."
While attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and the University of Florida's New World School of the Arts, Perez experimented with other mediums, but he always returned to painting.

The Amazing Lyndon Johnson
It was only with a sense of dutifulness that I read the article "Robert Caro's Big Dig" (it is my habit to read every piece in the New York Times Sunday magazine--in order--regardless of my interest or enthusiasm level). By the time I was finished, I couldn't wait to begin reading the multi volume biography of Lyndon Johnson and hastily placed the first volume on hold.
I Can't Read It Fast Enough!
I've been out of the country and have a small baby to slow my progress, but I am halfway through The Path to Power and can't remember when I've enjoyed reading something more. I began the book in Austin, which was fitting as I was able to pepper my conversations there with impressively informed facts about Texas Hill Country.
Caro is a phenomenal writer, and Johnson makes for an extraordinary study.
See What You Think
We own all of the books that have been published thus far (the most recent one, The Passage Of Power: The Years Of Lyndon Johnson, just two weeks ago--I was fascinated to read Bill Clinton's review of it) and we have them in ebook format as well.
If you thought about Lyndon Johnson before, you won't think about him in the same way. Or about American politics. Or power.

Canada Says China Is Too Rich to Get Preferential Tariff
By Nirmala Menon
Canada says China—and South Korea and Brazil–are too rich to receive preferential tariffs, and will be cut from a list of countries that enjoy lower-than-average tariffs on goods exported to Canada.
That list is part of a preferential tariff program that hasn't been "substantially" updated since it was introduced in 1974, and was put in place to promote growth in developing nations.
But some of the countries on Canada's list have progressed economically in leaps and bounds, and Ottawa argues they don't need such support anymore. Therefore, it proposes to "graduate" 72 "higher-income" and "trade-competitive" countries–including the three named above–effective Jan. 1, 2015.
In its 2013 budget released Thursday, the Canadian government said it's renewing the program, or General Preferential Tariff regime, for another 10 years. "From now on, beneficiary countries will be reviewed bi-annually based on objective economic criteria to determine whether they remain eligible for GPT benefits," the budget said.
Jayson Myers, who heads a group that represents Canada's manufacturers and exporters, told Canada Real Time the move will be welcome news to his members.
"This is basically bringing our tariff system up to the 21st century," Mr. Myers said in an interview.

The PH.D. Completion Project at MSU
Phase II, Year Two (2008)
Department Interventions
Early attrition: improving mentoring and support
Genetics has taken several measures to try to improve students' success in a core course, BMB 801 (Molecular Biology), which currently has a success rate of 75% , measured by the number of students who achieve a 3.0 or higher. These measures include: (1) "At risk" students in the entering class are identified early, based on the quality of their undergraduate institution and their prior course work; (2) "At risk" students have been advised to enroll in BMB 462 prior to BMB 801, to be assured that they have a solid background. An alternative option for "at risk" students has been to advise them to take ONLY BMB 801 and no other lecture course in their first semester; (3) A graduate tutor from among the high-performing students of the previous year has been hired for the course. This was implemented for the first time in the fall of 2007, but too late in the semester to rectify a bad start. For 2008, a graduate tutor was assigned at the start of the semester and supported on a fellowship (with partial support from the CGS grant).
Plant Biology is tracking the outcomes of students who enter the program in a specific lab and the outcomes of those who choose an advisor after several lab rotations. Nearly half of entering Plant Biology students do optional rotations in up to three laboratories during their first two semesters in the program; the other half enter directly into the lab of a faculty member whom they have identified as their advisor. The department wants to look at the effects these modes of entering the program have on completion outcomes, specifically around questions of integration into the department, time spent in choosing a research topic, and time-to-degree.
Mid-program attrition: qualifying and comprehensive exams
Electrical Engineering (in conjunction with the CGS grant, AGEP, and an MSU Provost's initiative grant) has instituted a mentoring program for students preparing for the qualifying exams. The objective of the four-year Incentive Fellowship project is to increase the number of talented U.S. students (especially women and minorities) with financial need who pass the program's qualifying examination each year during the term of the project. One-semester S-STEM Incentive fellowships will be provided each year to 14 academically talented, financially needy engineering graduate students, enabling them to focus on preparing for the exam rather than working "half" time as teaching or research assistants. Their preparation will be facilitated by participating in structured preparation activities provided by each department.
English, Neuroscience and Sociology are participating in a pilot program to train current ABD's to facilitate writing groups focused on the comprehensive exams. This program is being coordinated by the Graduate School and the Writing Center, which runs both a successful university-wide workshop called "Navigating the Ph.D" (focused in part on comprehensive examination preparation), and small, facilitated dissertation writing groups. The comprehensive exam preparation groups will be a hybrid of these two ongoing projects. Doctoral students will be trained as facilitators in summer 2009; the first department groups will run in fall 2009.
Late Attrition: addressing the development of writing skills specific to doctoral students
Neuroscience initiated a writing clinic in fall 2008 geared toward predoctoral students at any level who are working on a manuscript for publication in a peer reviewed journal. The workshop participants looked at articles and books on scientific writing, and engaged in discussions of elements of good writing style, the purpose of a paragraph, and tips for achieving clarity in writing. As a group, students edited one or two paragraphs of each student's current writing; they also submitted their writing to other clinic participants. The aims of the writing clinic were to: 1) improve writing skills of the participants; 2) remove psychological barriers that often impede writing; 3) teach students to give and take constructive feedback on their writing; and 4) result in manuscripts submitted for publication. Neuroscience will track how many manuscripts were submitted and accepted.
English implemented a Dissertation Writing Practicum for Ph.D. students in 2008-9. After the pilot year, they plan to require all post-exam Ph.D. candidates to enroll in the practicum at least once while they are in the program. Students who wish to take the practicum for three credit hours or more would be required to use their participation in the workshops to produce a substantial piece of writing (e.g. a dissertation proposal; a chapter of the dissertation, an article for publication); students taking it for less than three hours would be required to attend and participate in all of the sessions. The format of the practicum is a series of monthly workshops on dissertation writing and publishing.
History continued in spring 2008 the department dissertation workshop tied to small summer research grants. All students who received money to travel to archives in 2007 were required to attend the workshop. As part of the workshop, students wrote and submitted an external grant proposal, and they presented work in progress to the group. History will track the success of the students' grant proposals, as well as their time to degree.

I have never traveled on Amtrak, so I decided to try it for a trip to Tucson to visit my brother.
I called and made a reservation from Ontario to Tucson, round trip. And WOW, the cost was only $73.00 with my "senior" discount of 15%.
Now, I know that Amtrak allows you to check your firearm. So, I call back and ask what the procedure is. I am told that I cannot check the firearm at Ontario as it is only a pickup/dropoff stop, and is not maned. I would need to go to Los Angeles and check my firearm at the ticket window. I was also told that it had be be carried in a hard sided case and locked.
I thought about weather I wanted to go all the way to LA, and decided to try and do it right. I called back and changed my reserations from Ontario to LA, and mentioned that i was doing so to check my firearm.
So, I arrive two hours early because I know nothing ever goes as planned when trying to be a good guy and follow the rules.
When I go to the ticket window I give them my computer printed reservation, and advise the agent that I was also checking a firearm.
Now comes the problem. The agent ask for my reservation for the firearm, and if I am carrying on ammo too, he needed my reservation for the ammo. WHAT??? I had spoke to at least two persons when making and then when changing my reservations, and when I called back for the rules to check my firearm. NOONE told me anything about reservations for the firearm.
So, I complain all the way up the the station manager. NO WAY were they going to allow me to carry on without two additional reservations. And, these reservations had to have been made at least 24 hours prior to departure so that they could send my information to "big brother" and clear me to check the firearms.
Now, I had been dropped off at Amtrak, and had no transportation back to the Lake Arrowhead area. The agent supervisor suggested I try Grayhound, only 10 minutes away. I called and they do not allow any firearms period.
So, I made my Grayhound reservations, but in the confusion I forgot that I had a firearm. Oops... Now if there is anyway to travel where you feel the need for the comfort of a firearm, Grayhound is it. Shall we say, there are some very strange and alarming people on those buses...
When I got to Tucson, I called and made the proper reservations for my firearm and ammo for my return trip. At the station, they verified the firearm was in a locked case, the ammo was in it's original packaging and both were locked in my standard suitcase.
There was no additional security for the suitcase carring a firearm, and it was put in the pile with everyone elses baggage. When I arrived back at the Los Angeles station, my suitcase came down the turnstyle with everyone elses. Also, when you board the train, there is no check of the passangers other than to ask for their ticket. Anyone can carry on whatever they choose too, and noone is the wiser...
There is absoultly no serurity for the firearm other then Amtrak being notified and making reservations for the firearm and ammo.
I must say the ride on Amtrak was very pleasant. They had an observation car and a diner car, and you can walk around all you want. And it is cheap... I will definately take the train again. But the next time, I may have selective memory regarding my carry on items...
So a lesson learned. Anyone wanting to travel on Amtrak: You need three reservations - 1 for yourself, 1 for our firearm and 1 for your ammo. And, you need to make the reservation for the firearm and ammo on later than 24 hours before departure. Enjoy your trip...

Thanks for the info, sorry for your ordeal.
You have the right to be armed, you have the responsibility to be trained.
Society is safer when criminals don't know who's armed.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
That is good to know. About 15 years ago when i was still in high school my family and i took amtrak from Redding, Ca to Spokan, Wa. It was nice being able to walk around and is much more pleasant than the 12 hour car ride. And now I have been wanting to take Amtrak with my wife since she has never been on a train.
It's all there in black & white.
Amtrak - Plan - Policies - Firearms in Checked Baggage
It is also my inderstanding that Amtrack performs spot inspections of persons & cargo. They use dogs to discover things like weapons & bombs, so if a person were to "forget" that he has a firearm in his luggage they just may find it.

You never mentioned, is there a cost associated with the firearm and ammo reservations?

There is no cost for the reservations for the firearm or ammo.

On the subject, did anyone ever determine if an Amtrak train qualifies as a "Federal Facility" for purposes of CCW? I know that if you ask Amtrak, their policy states that even LEOs must have permission to carry on their trains, but it's not clear to me if they fall under some special Federal statutes. Considering that there is an Amtrak police force, this isn't out of the question.
Anyone know?
*like* It's almost like declaring firearms at the airline check-in.

Electronic Signature Capabilities Add to Profits
Electronic signatures can help mortgage originators increase their sales, move things quicker through the process and as a result get better prices for their loans from investors, said an executive with Silanis, a Montreal-based company which provides solutions in this area.
Michael Laurie, vice president, strategic planning and Silanis' co-founder, said among the products it offers originators who sell loans on the secondary market is an e-vaulting service for their documents.
The company has been in business for 20 years and its products are available on a licensed basis for some clients and on a Software as a Service basis for others.
Its e-signature service has been approved for signing 4506-T statements; those are then submitted through Internal Revenue Service-approved program participants.
While the 4506-T has been in the news a lot lately, Laurie said "our software is being used to do the whole mortgage application process up front. Every document that goes into the package that needs to be delivered to the borrower in the application process is being handled by our software." Smaller lenders tend to use the SaaS offering while larger ones use the on-premises version, he continued.
The company has also been working on e-closings and e-vaulting, although those are a small piece of the pie right now, especially when compared to doing the upfront process electronically.
It is "quite beneficial" for originators to do the application process in this manner, he said. It reduces the overall time it takes to get to the closing table in first place and it does it in a more predictable manner.
Laurie noted that when originators are locking in rates with their investors, with the electronic signature process they are better able to meet the deadlines to fill those commitments. This, along with getting the file ready to close quicker, allows for better pricing.
Investors see the predictability and reliability of your delivery, and price accordingly, he explained.
But it is not just the lender having the capability to offer e-signatures that makes or breaks such a program; it is also a question of will the borrower do business in this manner? According to both Silanis and one of its lender clients, Signature Mortgage, the answer is a resounding "yes."
"The adoption rate we see across the industry is 95% to 100%. Borrowers very much want to do this," Laurie declared. Signature Mortgage, he continued, has an almost 100% adoption rate.
The president and CEO of Signature Mortgage, Bob Caitlin, started doing e-signatures as part of a pilot program for the SaaS service in spring 2010.
Competitive forces were one of the reasons, especially coming out of the bust years. Caitlin said he realized he had to rethink the way he was doing business. Quicken Mortgage, a recognized leader in customer service, was the model and he was looking for a way that a smaller player could replicate their processes. That is what led him to Silanis.
Signature is licensed in Ohio and Michigan and one thing about being able to offer electronic-signature service to consumers is that it lets the company grow without having to add brick and mortar, he said.
The company felt it had to offer this kind of service to compete for the consumer who is shopping with several lenders looking at price and service.
Initially, Signature felt it would see the most use for this technology for those clients who resided further away from the company's headquarters and only office in Canton, Ohio. "As it turns out, nearly all of our business switched over to e-sign technology," Caitlin said. Even those who work nearby want to use the e-signature capabilities.
Signature is able to offer its clients the ability to sign documents in just minutes after the application is made and can get them back within the hour.
"And that has been a huge game changer for us," as packages had to be overnighted to clients, he explained. Now, ideally the process gets moved forward quickly. In the past it took days, if not weeks, to get the documents signed and returned to the company.
And once the customer executes the documents by using this technology, Caitlin said the shopping ends and they go with Signature.
As a result it is able to process, underwrite and get the clear to close in half of the time of the competition. This applies only to conventional loans as Federal Housing Administration loans cannot have their documents e-signed.
It has even impacted Signature's secondary marketing capabilities. The company has gone from taking 45- to 60-day rate protection on its loans to switching over entirely to mandatory delivery. That has increased margins by between 50 to 100 basis points.
Laurie said "It is a great customer experience. Customers are pretty keen on doing this kind of stuff," and at the end of the day they realize they are getting a better rate because the lender can make the process faster.
How the electronic-signature process works is as follows. When the consumer calls into the loan officer, the loan officer takes the application and generates the loan documents in which ever system the originator users for that purpose.
The documents would be generated in a PDF format. Laurie said the next step depends on how the lender is set up with Silanis. If the originator is using the SaaS, the company has a template for the creation of the document package.
This template knows which documents need to be in the package, where the customer signatures need to be made. Whether the lender uses the SaaS or has the software in house, the package then goes into the e-sign live signing room. An email notification is sent is sent to the consumer which has a link into the website.
Consumers access the documents through a web browser, so they don't need to worry about downloading the files, etc. The browser guides them through the experience and any place the borrower needs to sign; all they do is click on the button.
The Silanis product is being used for both purchase loans and refinancings, Laurie said. Speed and accuracy are of the essence in both processes, especially for purchases.
Silanis is seeing a lot of growth in the mortgage industry in the past couple years, especially as the market starts to come back. "Lenders are under the gun to meet regulations and to ensure the processes are being carried out properly. We think this is the reason why we are starting to see so much demand" for this kind of product," Laurie said. It is not only the large lenders, but the interest in providing this product is being seen by the smaller lenders as well.
And it is about providing a better experience for the consumer. Users are reporting going through the process in 15 minutes or less, he said.
Caitlin declared that with this type of technology, there is no reason for any shop to add brick and mortar.
Speaking of the 4506-T, Silanis has just been added to Equifax' approved e-sign list.
In a press release, Jeff Knott, Equifax senior director of product management, said, "With the requirement of the 4506-T to authorize a bank or lender to verify a mortgage applicant's income, it makes sense that Equifax partner with e-signature vendors like Silanis to complete this process electronically."
Laurie added, "This partnership with Equifax will allow our customers, as well as any banks and mortgage lenders of any size, the ability to complete the entire application process in electronically and improve the customer experience."

text: Home Culture Senate to Confirm Kagan's Nomination The Supreme Court will have its fourth woman justice. By: Authors Posted: Aug. 5 2010 9:14 AM 0 Elena Kagan is on the brink of becoming the nation's fourth-ever woman justice. The Senate is set Thursday to confirm President Barack Obama's second nominee, whose addition to the court will mark the first time three female justices have served concurrently. Nearly all Democrats, the Senate's two independents and a handful of Republicans are backing her. This will be the last action for the Senate before departing for a monthlong vacation. Kagan's nomination has not been without controversy, with Republicans accusing her of being unable to put aside her liberal views.
