When I was in second grade, the Daughters of the American Revolution, in search of potential members, paid a visit to my classroom. As the child of an Argentine mother growing up in a rural Missouri town, I knew, even at that young age, that I'd never make the cut. Even so, my mother reacted strongly when I was passed over. "They should have chosen you," she said, archly. Yet my mother could offer no explanation as to why I -- the daughter of an immigrant and an Irish-American father with no known ties to the American Revolution -- should have been selected by this patriotic women's organization.
Some 50 years later, while writing a memoir about my father, I came across a file of papers on my mother's ancestry. In it was a family tree tracing her lineage back to one John Cassin who, as a 17-year-old private, had fought with George Washington at the Battle of Trenton. Yes, the Battle of Trenton, in which, on Christmas night, Washington and his rag-dressed soldiers crossed the icy Delaware River, surprising and capturing the sleeping enemy troops. After the Revolution, Cassin, who was said to have remained personal friends with Washington, became a merchant seaman. In 1799 he joined the newly forming U.S. Navy, where he served as second in command at the Washington Navy Yard and fought pirates in Tripoli; during the War of 1812 he returned to the Delaware to command the naval forces in the protection of Philadelphia. Still on active duty in his late fifties, Cassin became commanding officer of the Navy Yards at Norfolk, Virginia and Charleston, South Carolina, where he died in 1822.
How I came to be the descendant of a Revolutionary patriot through my Argentine mother is a tale I will save for another time. Suffice to say the discovery that I was more deeply rooted in American history than I'd ever imagined had an impact on both my relationship with my mother and with my mother country. Sitting in the hushed atmosphere of the DAR Library in Washington, D.C., coming face to face with the burly, proud profile of "Master Commandant" Cassin in a history of the U.S. Navy,* a jolt went through me. As a student of meditation, I'd had spiritual awakenings. In therapy, I'd had psychological awakenings around my personal complexes. But the discovery that I was descended from what in DAR lingo is called a "patriot ancestor" stirred in me an American awakening.
In reflecting on his own "fateful" ancestral links, the psychologist Carl Jung wrote in "Memories Dreams Reflections" that he felt that he "had to answer questions which fate had posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages had left unfinished." What did it mean, I wondered now, with some irony, that I, a child of the '60s who'd marched against wars from Vietnam to Iraq, was a "daughter of the American Revolution"? My family's personal "founding father" had risked his life in service to America, so that eight generations later I could write in freedom. His sacrifice seemed to demand something of me -- but what?
To this point, my knowledge of America's origins had been fairly cursory, punctuated with grade school images of Puritans, cherry trees, and liberal tenets around sexist dead white men. So gaining a more comprehensive knowledge of my ancestor's times seemed like a good way to begin my quest. Delving into histories and biographies, events that had been dry and distant became animated. Cardboard cutout-heroes became three-dimensional figures of complexity. What stoked my imagination the most, however, was the intellectual dynamism of the Revolutionary era. Political science geniuses, the Founders had debated each other fiercely, and had read widely in history and among the Roman, Greek, Scottish, French and English philosophers. As the historian Joseph Ellis writes in "American Creation," the late 18th century "was the most politically creative era in American history."
Indeed as it is often said, America is an idea as much as a place. One of the pillars of this American idea is self-determination: the notion that the power to forge one's own destiny lies within each individual. In this sense we are all sons and daughters of the American Revolution, each generation erasing the past and making its own mark anew. Still, as my mother remarked when I relayed tales of her seafaring Irish-American forebear, "If I'd known about that, maybe I would have felt more as if I belonged to this country." As the loneliness behind her words sank in, it dawned that one way of continuing my ancestor's legacy might be through cultivating a kind of reflective citizenship. For if we are always beginning anew, fighting the Revolution on the terrain of our personal lives and on the battlefields of the world again and again, then we never really arrive, we never really build a solid foundation of tradition and history -- and we never really belong.
Greater attention to the nation's inner life, it seems to me, might be one way to heal the American wound of not belonging that afflicts so many. What if, for example, we sought to add a more soulful dimension to citizenship through more philosophical and spiritual exploration of what it means to be independent individuals living interdependent lives? What if study of the nation's founding history was seen as each citizen's lifelong civic duty, as important as voting or community service? What if we protected the American landscape with as much zeal as we defend the borders that surround it? And what if our family's immigration stories were handed down over the generations as part of our birthright, connecting us to our own American lineage, and treasured as an important part of our psychological identity and individuation?
As I reflect on my patriot ancestor's life on Memorial Day -- a time of somber tribute to those who have given their lives in service to their country -- it seems to me that more contemplation could also be given to discovering the deeper meaning of what exactly the military defends: liberty, equality, individual rights, and this evolving American story of which we are all a part.
I welcome your immigration stories, and/or thoughts on America's inner life and evolving story, so please write in!

Dominican RepublicCascading waterfalls, crystal clear lagoons, palm trees dancing in the slight tropic breeze on a beach of snow-white sand. Is there any wonder why the Dominican Republic is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world? The country is -- in a word -- stunning. A culture rich with history, the Dominican Republic is not anxious to catch up with the modern, fast-paced way of life found in most western states. In fact, you can say that the slow, relaxed way of life is what makes the island so special and it is definitely one of the reasons so many people vacation here. The Dominican Republic offers you a chance to get away from it all -- the stress, the worry, the over-demanding boss -- and supplies all the essentials necessary to relax and center your spirit.
Arriving in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic shares the Caribbean island of Hispaniola with Haiti. Over twice the size of New Hampshire, the Dominican Republic takes up two-thirds of the island's land mass. Most international air traffic to the Dominican Republic arrives at the Las Americas International Airport, situated about 25 minutes from the capital city of Santa Domingo. This airport accepts flights from a few select cities in the U.S., such as Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Miami. Once arriving in the Dominican Republic, guests will be required to purchase a tourist card and it costs around ten dollars.
Punta Cana International Airport is another arrival point for many international flights due to the number of popular Dominican Republic resorts in the Punta Cana area. With so many vacationing guests, the area's resorts usually have transportation at the airport, so just look for the sign listing your resort's name.
The Climate of the Dominican Republic
The climate on the island of Hispaniola is tropical. Guests can expect warm, if not hot weather during their stay and some days can get quite humid. There's virtually no change in temperature among the seasons, but if you visit between June and November you should exercise caution because of the potential for heavy rains and/or hurricanes.
The Resorts of the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is famous for its gorgeous resorts. Many of them offer all-inclusive vacation packages that really add a level of convenience and value to your vacation. The luxury of an all-inclusive resort vacation is that everything is taken care of ahead of time. There is no need to bring an excess of money because all of your meals, drinks, amenities and even gratuities are already paid for. It's the ultimate carefree vacation.
Punta Cana is home to many of the country's most popular resorts, and it is not hard to find a Punta Cana all inclusive vacation package. The Excellence Punta Cana Resort is $225 per night will provide you with sublime accommodations and exceptional service and amenities. The Paradisus Punta Cana Resort is another fine example of Punta Cana's sensational resorts. It features 40 acres of tropical heaven for only around $207 per night. There are even all-inclusive resorts for those traveling on a budget. The five-hotel complex of the Barcelo Resort offers significant savings. From the most opulent five-star accommodations of the Barcelo Bavaro Palace to the comfortable refinement of the Barcelo Bavaro Casino, all-inclusive packages start as low as $65 per night and up.
The Cuisine of the Dominican Republic
The cuisine of the Dominican Republic is very similar to most other Latin regions. It is made up of predominantly Spanish, Taino and African influences. As in many non-western cultures, lunch is the largest meal of the day. One of the most popular dishes of the region is "La Bandera," a deliciously healthy meal of broiled chicken, rice and red beans. Salads almost always accompany your lunch. Much of the Dominican Republic food incorporates the local spice mixture called "sofrito" into their recipes for a delightfully spicy, yet delicious, accent.
The Sights of the Dominican Republic
With so much heavenly nature, it makes sense that most of the Dominican Republic's best sights are natural. Some fine examples of the natural beauty of the island include the beaches at Playa del Macao, the wildlife refuges at Lago Enriquillo and Eastern National Park and a captivating cable car ride up the side of Mount Isabel de Torres.
The brilliant man-made spectacles of the Dominican Republic include the gothic charm of the Catedral Primada de America, the inspired architecture of the Basilica de Nuestra Senora and the artistic village of Altos de Chavon, just to name a few. It doesn't matter what you wish to experience on your vacation to the Dominican Republic, a relaxing escape from everyday life or an adventurous site-seeing excursion, you be both surprised and delightfully satisfied by your visit to this real life "fantasy island."

Brenda Capobianco Wins Inaugural Foster Award
The Christian J. Foster Award, named after the former first gentleman of Purdue, is awarded to one faculty member who has made transformational contributions to improving STEM teaching and learning in Indiana's K-12 schools.
The 2014 inaugural award winner is Brenda Capobianco, Associate Professor of Science Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. According to the selection committee, "there were many excellent choices" but Capobianco "clearly stood above the rest" and that members of the committee were "extremely impressed with her accomplishments and impact" referring to her outstanding contributions to STEM education in Indiana in both inservice and preservice teacher education.
After hearing about the award, Capobianco stated, "I feel honored to be recognized for the Foster Award and I share this honor with the science teachers I work with and learn from every day. I am in the elementary schools each week observing science teachers invent new instructional strategies, answering teachers' questions, and helping them reflect critically on their attempts at improving their instruction and students' learning of STEM," she said.
"I get to see in real time how science teachers purposefully make science an important part of their students' lives and I see the challenges teachers experience on a daily basis," she continued.
Since coming to Purdue in 2002, Capobianco has established productive lines of research, teaching, and engagement activities focused in STEM education. Her research is in two areas: science teachers' engagement in action research and young women's participation in STEM-related fields. In 2004, Capobianco received the Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award for the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and was later recognized as a University Faculty Scholar for the College of Education in 2010.
She has created graduate courses in action research and gender issues in science education and currently serving as a contributor to the College of Education's Integrated STEM teacher education initiative. Capobianco has been awarded over $17 million in both external and internal grants as PI or Co-PI, including several large scale research grants funded by the National Science Foundation that emphasize the integration of engineering design in science education and science teacher education.
Her most notable contribution to improving K-12 STEM education in Indiana to date is co-directing Purdue University's NSF-funded Targeted Math Science Partnership entitled the Science Learning through Engineering Design (SLED) Partnership. In 2010, the SLED Partnership was one of only three nationally funded MSPs that focused on the integration of engineering design in the elementary schools and remains to date the single largest NSF-funded MSP in the state of Indiana. SLED Partners include faculty from the Colleges of Education, Engineering, Science and Technology, Taylor Community School Corporation, Plymouth School Corporation, Lafayette School Corporation, and Tippecanoe School Corporation. The goal of the SLED Math Science Partnership is to increase grade 3-6 student learning of science by developing Indiana's first integrated, engineering design-based approach to elementary/ intermediate school science education.
Brenda Capobianco publicly shares SLED curriculum and teacher resources for grades 3 through 6 at the STEMedhub website. There teachers will find numerous classroom–proven lesson plans designed by STEM faculty and SLED partners. See: https://stemedhub.org/groups/sled
Professor Capobianco will receive with the award a $2,500 prize and $15,000 in discretionary funds to support her ongoing work.

Politics | Gubernatorial candidate courts black voters, warns of Democrats' race-baiting tactics
In his quest to become governor of Maryland, Rep. Bob Ehrlich planned to take Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez to West Baltimore this week to set in motion a plan to help the predominantly black New Psalmist Baptist Church buy run-down HUD properties in the neighborhood.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State immediately pounced. "This is nothing less than 'faith-based' vote buying," protested the group's Barry Lynn. But Rep. Erhlich wouldn't be deterred: "I'm going places Republican candidates have never gone."
Rep. Ehrlich is also warning voters about the potentially race-charged political rhetoric of his likely Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the eldest daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. Mrs. Townsend hired as her media adviser Bob Shrum, who four years ago helped reelect Gov. Parris Glendening with nasty 30-second ads claiming Republican Ellen Sauerbrey was racist, based on two votes in the state legislature-an anti-discrimination bill also opposed by black Democrats, and a "hate crimes" bill about sexual orientation, not race.

Look at Andy Cohen striking a sassy pose at a signing of his book Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture. The television executive and host of Watch What Happens Live was cute and casual in a plaid button-up shirt and dark jeans at the Books & Books at University of Miami BankUnited Fieldhouse.
Always animated, Andy gave photographers lots to work with as he gave thumbs up, threw his hands in the air and guffawed while answering questions about his book and talking about Bravo behind-the-scenes drama. Wonk notwithstanding, this guy clearly knows how to work the camera. (Thanks, Tyra!)
During a recent interview with Access Hollywood to promote his new book, Andy admitted that Lisa Vanderpump's addition to the most recent season of Dancing With The Stars was a huge milestone for Bravo, as DWTS for years turned down previous requests to include "Housewives" in the cast.
Cohen confessed, "All the 'Housewives' used to call me and say, 'Can you get me on Dancing with the Stars? I'm like, 'They're not into it.' But now maybe the hymen is broken!" Andy, language! Who do you think you are? Brandi Glanville?
Andy also admitted that he's not into manscaping, referring to his chest hair "a real situation." I think determining whether or not he's telling the truth is the perfect excuse to dive headfirst into the shirtless Andy photo galleries included in the post above, don't you?

The 200 freestyle "A" relay team of Shawna Keller, Rugile Mileisyte, Evelina Bieleckaite and Jennifer Dean finished 8th during the finals session, touching the wall in 1:34.32. The group qualified with 1:34.01, the best mark for WSU this season. The Cougars' "B" squad of Melissa Bogert, Jenna Bekker, Talor Whitaker and Emma Neely entered the event as the 19th seed, but finished 16th during the preliminary session, earning a chance to compete Thursday night. The team finished 13th in the finals with a time of 1:35.39.
The 400 medley relay team finished just outside the top ten, taking 11th in 3:44.60. The team consisted of Mileisyte, Jessie Craig, Michaela Ahlin and Whitaker. Mileisyte earned an NCAA consideration time in the 100 backstroke during the lead-off leg. The junior from Alytus, Lithuania finished in 55.53 seconds, 13 hundredths of a second below the qualifying mark.
Mileisyte also took part in the 50 freestyle, finishing 27th with a time of 23.51. The finish was the best of any Cougar athlete who participated in an individual event during the first day.
Ahlin was the lone WSU representative in the 500 freestyle where the Tyreso, Sweden native finished in 37th place at 4:54.70.
"We had some bright spots, but so far, we are not using the momentum we gained as a team at Minnesota as a stepping stone for the rest of our season like I was hoping," said head coach Erica Quam. "I am still trying to determine who I can count on to step up and swim fast when it counts, no matter how they feel. We have quite a few swims in the morning session tomorrow, so there are many opportunities for some great racing ahead."
The second day of competition will begin tomorrow at 9 a.m., with finals to follow at 5 p.m. Complete results can be found at www.usaswimming.org.

Former Greenpeace member Patrick Moore can be accused of exaggerating when he held his former organisation guilty of complicity in the death of two million children a year, but his point needs to be heard. Moores point is that millions of children die due to disease resulting from Vitamin A deficiency, and that this is something easily cured by golden rice, a genetically modified form of rice that has a higher beta carotene content than ordinary ricethe option to golden rice is to implement a costly vitamin supplement programme in each of these countries.
The point, as environment minister Veerappa Moily said when clearing trials of various GM crops last week, science is being used in all manner of fields, why not use it in agriculture as well? What was unconscionable was that, for over a year, after the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) cleared the field trials, Moilys predecessor simply refused to ratify the decision. A McKinsey estimate, that GM crops will have an economic impact of $100-200 billion across the world by 2025, best brings out the potential that India
doesnt want to even be a part of. Given how GM has transformed
Indias cotton growing, that is a real shame. It is an even bigger shame when you consider the productivity hike that GM offers, or the solutions it could offer in terms of severe heat resistant seeds or those that consume a lot less water or even do well in saline areas.

This problem isn't hardware related, as I easily can play with the highest resolution and max details, without any problem.
Anyway, I get to play for about three to ten minutes before this happens. The game just freezes. Or to be more spesific, the computer freezes. I get a lot of red spots all over the screen right before it happens. They're in a pattern.
I've tried to play on the lowest resolution just to be sure, with the lowst details. It happened then as well. This time though, I got to use alt+tab, and got this message.
Headline: Windows - Display driver stopped responding
Message body: The nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft.
From this it seems there is a problem with the drivers for my graphics card. I got a XFX 8800GT. So far I've tried with the newest drivers, as well as the ones I were using(They were about four months old). Anyone got an idea what the solution might be, or have any similar problems?
I've tried to google this, but I can't find much info on this exact problem :-\

Jumpstart Your Retirement Plan Days (Kiplinger Magazine Giveaway!)
Posted By Jim On 01/08/2009 @ 1:18 pm In Personal Finance | 9 Comments
For the last seven years, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) [3] partner up and put on an event called Jumpstart Your Retirement Plan [4]. During Jumpstart Your Retirement Plan days, you can call into 888-919-2345 and talk to a fee-only financial planner absolutely free between 9 AM and 6 PM. If you would rather do it on the web, you can just log onto the Jumpstart website [4] and post your question there. This year the event will be held on January 13th (next Tuesday!) and again on January 30th.
Fee only financial planners are, in my humble opinion, the best kind of financial planners available because you pay for their time, often $150 to $300 an hour! Why are they the "best?" The alternative is a financial planner that often advises you for free but earns a commission on the products they sell. For example, I recently talked to a financial advisor who worked for a major investment and insurance firm who gave great advice but always recommended his firm's products. With a fee-only planner, you are guaranteed to get the most unbiased advice because they don't get paid based on what you buy, they are paid simply to advise. That's not to say commissioned financial planners are automatically bad, far from it, but they are less likely to recommend the 100% best possible option (no one ever recommends Vanguard index funds because there is no commission!).
Last year, 90 NAPFA volunteers answered 4,100 calls across the two days, or about two and a half calls an hour each day. If you assume each call lasted about twenty minutes, you're getting about a hundred bucks worth of advice absolutely free. I think that if you have a pressing retirement or financial planning related question, it's a no brainer to call them up to ask. As much as I enjoy having you all read my site, I'm not a financial planner, I'm just a regular Joe like you, so this is a great opportunity to ask a professional for free.
Also, to sweeten the pot a little, Kiplinger's has offered a free one-year subscription to their magazine for Blueprint readers. You can get an entry into the contest by:
We only have one subscription to give away and two retirement days so this contest will run until February 4th, to give callers on the January 30th date an opportunity to post their questions and get their fifty entries. Good luck and I hope we get some good questions!

Golfers will tell you there's no substitute for practice. But even after years of practice, some players still struggle for a hole-in-one.
In studies at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., cognitive psychologist Jessica Witt found that simply making a hole appear larger on the green can improve a golfer's putting accuracy by as much as ten percent.
"When the hole looked bigger participants were also more successful at putting. So, making the golf hole look bigger, even though it hadn't changed size, it just looked bigger, led to more golf putting success," said Witt, now at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
The trick employs a common optical illusion called the Ebbinghaus illusion and created by surrounding the hole with smaller-sized circles to make it appear bigger than it actually is. The illusion is easily modeled on a practice green and can help build a golfer's putting confidence as he or she plays through 18 holes.
"So on days when you're performing well, that ability to succeed also influences what you see, and on days when you're not performing well, that lack of ability changes what you see," Witt said.
Some old-fashioned practice couldn't hurt, either.
Witt's future research applies the Ebbinghaus illusion to field-goal kicking in football by having fans holding up cards to help the goal look bigger or smaller, depending on what team is kicking.

Undersheriff Vernon Buerkle, left, and Sheriff Glen Meier stand beside the 2011 Corvette forfeited by Scott Sheehan in a drug case. Meier holds the check for $5,000 to the county drug forfeiture fund, which is used in drug enforcement activities.
Five thousand dollars has been added to the Valley County drug forfeiture fund as a result of a meth seizure from a Corvette in July. Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier and Undersheriff Vernon Buerkle accepted a check on Aug. 14 for the black 2011 Chevy Corvette.
The story began on July 6, when deputies responded to a domestic disturbance at the second dredge in Park Grove, where a Nashua woman said her ex-husband was shouting at her. He left, but was stopped on Highway 117 for having no plates on his Corvette. With the assistance of the Montana Highway Patrol, deputies searched the car and f...

Palmet Energi Calls On Familiar Face
Palmet Energi has selected GE for its aeroderivative gas turbine technology. The company, which already has a GE-powered plant in Kirklareli, Turkey, plans to build a second power plant in Aydin, Turkey.
GE's scope of supply includes one LM6000-PC SPRINT aeroderivative gas turbine generator package and a GE Thermodyn steam turbine. The new mid-merit plant is owned by Ales Enerji, which is a company created and owned by Palmet Enerji.
The 60 MW plant will have a 51% combined-cycle efficiency and will lower NOx emissions by 74% through the use of demineralized water, GE said. Commercial operation is planned for the third quarter of 2012.
Turkey's total population is 76.5 million and is expected to rise to 79.1 million by 2015. In 2010, power consumption rose to 209 million MWh and is expected to reach 222 million MWh this year. Between 2011 and 2020, Business Monitor International forecasts an increase in Turkish electricity generation of 52.3%.

Delhi 2 Dublin has just announced they'll be coming out with a new album Summer 2015!
Find out all the inside info and preview tracks here: http://smarturl.it/x1iz56
The band was a happy accident born out of Vancouver's Celtic Fest in 2006. Their sound started as an electronic fusion between bhangra beats and Celtic fiddle and has since grown into anything from dub reggae to breaks to just straight up happy dance music. File under… best.
Founded by Tarun Nayar (of Beats Without Borders cred), Sanjay Seran (at the time hailing from live bhangra act Signia), and Ravi Binning (a professionally trained bhangra dancer and dhol player), the band started kicking ass on stages across North America, with violinist extremist Kytami and sitar/guitar hero Andrew Kim.
Releasing their first full-length album out within a year of their inception, it was obvious D2D had something people wanted. Word spread about their ridiculously energetic live show, and tours grew from regular jaunts across the country and down through the States, to include festival performances in Europe, Asia and Australia. The band kept up with the pace, producing a new album bi-annually and a remix album alternating years.
With seven albums out, 2014 has Delhi 2 Dublin releasing their very first, and much anticipated, LIVE album, recorded at the iconic Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC on their 8th birthday. This year also brings about more additions to the D2D touring family: Serena Eades joins on violin (in lieu of fiddle player Sara Fitzpatrick starting a family of her own!) and James Hussain on guitar. Jaron Freeman-Fox continues being a featured guest at select shows, along with former member Andrew Kim.
Described by one magazine as the "United Nations of rock 'n' roll", Delhi 2 Dublin has become one of Canada's most buzzed-about bands, and this was not just a happy accident – check out the videos to see for yourself what everyone's been dancing about!

Occupy Steubenville Streaming Live via UStream on RoseanneWorld Saturday Noon Eastern Time
Where is the media's THANK YOU to Anonymous! These extreme efforts through anonymity is the example of a truly united people. We live in a country where fear divides us, silences us & encourages apathy. It's why anonymity is our greatest tool. With all eyes on Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio … it's because of the answer of an effort to do what's right, an effort to desperately cling to pure freedom. This is evidence to politicians that regulations are destructive to our unity. This is the future of revolution; It is this boldness to declare WE can police ourselves, We can show this world to not be afraid of authority nor the elite, WE can bring justice back to the helpless, WE can return a voice to the unheard, We can deliver hope to the silent … All of us are Anonymous. All of us are Legion. Expect all of us.

Lincoln University beat Ohio State-Marion 201-78. They scored 97 in the first half, 104 in the second. One of their players had 69 points and was 21-41 from three in only 24 minutes.
It's pretty embarrassing to actually do that to a team but at the same time it's kind of impressive when you think about a player chucking a three about every 30 seconds and hitting half of them.
WOW!!!! Without the link I never would have believed it. That is simply insane.
Holy cows!!!! I don't care what division you play in, that is just amazing!
talk about running about a score! yeesh.
"To be one's self, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity." -Irving Wallace
That's just freaking amazing. What was their shooting percentage??

To be perfectly honest, this game kind of made me sick. It really says a lot about the sportsmanship (or, rather, the lack thereof) of the coach. His team attempted 35 3-pointers in the second half of a game where they led at half by 53 points. Lincoln's leading scorer shot 41 3-pointers in this game. I mean, come on. I totally understand the "shoot it when you're hot" philosophy, but honestly, what coach, when up by 53, doesn't tell his players to take their time and run off some clock?
Here's a link to the box score.
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great
True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:
I had a friend who told me about this. He said the team played the whole bench and everyone was just on fire. I don't care who you are to attempt 41 3's in a game is insane. A lot of teams don't attempt 21 which was how many he made. That's in a game too not in the 24 minutes he played which is just over a half.
Ryan Galles
There were 31 people in attendance at the game according to the box score. I wonder how many people watched the end?
Surprised they didn't have a halftime walkon tryouts to make the game a little more even.
lol...didn't even notice that.
I should also note that the leading scorer attempted NINE 3-pointers in the final five minutes of this game.
Lincoln did play some defense: game stats show 48 steals to go with 62 OSU-Marion turnovers.
This isn't even basketball. It is a circus sideshow act. Who cares what they scored. Doesn't mean they are good. Against quality competition and fundamentals, they would get destroyed. This diminishes the concept of the game.

Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Why did the opposing coach not go into a four corners offense to slow the thing down.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

The way it sounds he couldn't get the ball over half-court to set up an offense. It is amazing that they even scored 78 points. That makes what, 278 points in 40 min? That's an average of almost 7 points per minute. Amazing.

Re: Taking a punch...
^ As stated above, it's what you do with the time you've got to react.
The punches you don't see coming hurt the most because you will not be bracing for impact, possibly moving into it to make things worse.
There is bracing for impact and then there is moving with the punch - the slightest movements can take much of the sting out of it.
Underlining this all is your mental strength. If you want to win at all costs and the punches are not shaking you, you'll force yourself to stay on your feet. A lot of knockouts are from fighters that have decided it would make sense to submit, or the sense of urgency to get away from punishment became too much.
Neck, jaw muscles and your centre of gravity all play a big part.

If the information is so easily transmitted and students don't need their hand held, why aren't all of these classes being taught electronically online? Why even bother with a classroom at all besides for testing purposes? It's because government is there to subsidize the increased cost and prevent the natural evolution of education.
It's not a product, it's a service. Supply and demand most certainly does effect the cost of services.Anyway, our nation education is not some kind a product that someone is trying to sell. The law of supply & demand isn't representative, and the main reason is that the people that are "buying" the "product", are the co-owners of the said product.
It's simple. To provide a service you need the facilities (schools, gyms, labs, etc..) staff (teachers, administrators, janitors, etc..) and a plan to put those assets into functional operation.
All of this costs money and none of these things are in infinite supply. So the more teachers you need to hire, the more it costs you; and guess what.. teachers are not exactly an easy position to fill. There aren't enough of them. Which means the price to hire them also goes up.
All of those costs rise as more students come in. And there's also less space for them all. So prices go UP to compensate. There's no where else for them to go.
In Quebec, students have been enjoying a comfortable, very small tuition fee compared to the rest of Canada, kept artificially low by the government. Now, for once, the government decides to stop forking over tax payer money to subsidize what should be paid for by the students or parents, and because of that the students take to streets and start a wild dangerous violent tantrum.

can you read? That's a really ignorant conclusion you've drawn from what I said. I see much further outside the box of modern day education institutes.
I was only pointing out a fundamental flaw in logic, in this thread.
I also just ate a pot brownie so this thread is gonna be amazing in like 45 minutes.
Unless we're talking about capitalism in more of a barter society?
Also aren't there hundred of thousands of people across the globe protesting the banks?

Think about it.. if banks really had to compete for your money knowing the government wouldnt bail their dumb asses out.. do you think some low IQ retard fucking janitor would get a home loan for a house he could never afford? HELL FUCKING NO.
If we do; you call it socialism.
If we don't; we're right back here. I assume you acknowledge there's a problem.
No matter what a (I want to say capitalist but it may happen more than just that type) economy starts off as, to me it will always end up cheap workers, cheap quality and cheap product. That seems very flawed to me.

The free market is beautiful if you let it be.. capital migrates to where its needed.. labor migrates to where its most rewarded for its effort.
Monopolies simply cannot exist.. because no matter how epic your product or manufacturing process is.. someone will come along and improve upon it.
EVERY SINGLE TIME a monoploy has cropped up.. it was the direct result of government intervention.

Stress eating
Friday, February 01, 2013
I have too much going on at once right now and it's disrupting my meal planning. Yesterday was terrible - I didn't have a lunch planned out and I was too busy with work to just drop everything and cook a nice meal, so I just ended up snacking ALL AFTERNOON. It was mostly healthy snacking, mind you, but it just never stopped. I had an entire plate of veg with 1/2 cup of my LF yogurt dressing, two big spoonfuls of natural peanut butter (a weakness...), some leftover vegetarian haggis from Burns Night, and here are the two bad things: a bowl of Rice Krispies (wtf?!) and three digestive-style crackers from our party last Saturday. I'm most annoyed by the last two because I'm really trying to cure myself of carby cravings. Rice Krispies are my downfall - I know they're not the worst cereal I could snack on, but I used to eat (ahem!) rather large bowls of RK when I had nothing else lined up in the middle of the day. And the crackers? I'm just annoyed that I made it through a big alcohol-fueled social engagement without having a single cracker, yet I tuck into THREE the following Thursday afternoon. WHY?!! Because I thought I was in the clear, that's why.
One of my biggest downfalls, and I KNOW this is very common, is to think that since I've lost a few pounds now, I'm doing just great and I can go back to eating whatever the hell I want all the time. Haha...not so! My dad always loved to say that "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance." WELL, POPS...apparently that's also the price of a slender body!
And don't even get me started on my two large glasses of wine at night. I LOVE MY WINE! WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE ALL THE WINE I WANT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT???
ANYWAY...the upshot of this story is that, after having lost 13 pounds (nearly a stone!), I'm back to 11lbs down. Yes, I know this isn't the end of the world, but I hate having to scratch myself out of a hole. However, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I made a lovely turkey chili from the SP Cookbook last night and there's plenty left over, so I'm going to pop some brown rice in the rice cooker and come lunchtime today, I will be ready to have ONE sensible meal, rather than a zillion different small things that add up to one big guilt trip and two extra pounds.

Rice Krispies are one of the only cereals I ever liked. I quit cereal and I refuse to have them in the house now. LOL. Crackers are one of my weaknesses. I love them and can resist all kind of things but I love cheese and I want it with crackers.
I'm fixing brown rice too today. Good luck on the weight loss.

You are not alone, you are human. There is not one person on this site who can say they eat perfectly 100% of the time. You took a giant step in the right direction, you stopped and realized before it got out of control. Be proud of that, let it fuel your motivation to do better and succeed. Throw a bowl of that chili in the freezer for the next time you are in a hurry, and move on. Change of this magnitude does not happen overnight, in a week, or even months. With patience and perseverance you will change. BELIEVE!

Alerts refer to the delivery of user-subscribed information to the user. As the number of alert services and the types of information delivery devices increase, a new model that allows users to manage alert delivery and avoid alert overflow is needed. The unique dependability challenge in the management of alerts is in the proper use of redundancy to achieve timeliness and reliability without being unduly intrusive or cumbersome. We describe the design, implementation, and user experience of an alert service architecture, called SIMBA. SIMBA utilizes Instant Messaging with acknowledgements as the universal, reliable alert delivery channel, with emails being the fallback channel. All alerts that a user subscribes to are first directed to the user's MyAlertBuddy, which allows centralized delivery preference customization and acts as a personal alert router to protect the privacy of user addresses. Delivery modes, each of which involves multiple user addresses to accommodate communication failures, are supported as an abstraction for specifying personalized dependability levels.

The Federal Trade Commission has given final approval to consent agreements with the nation's largest sellers of fast-turnaround verbatim news transcripts, Reuters America, Inc., and Federal News Service Group, Inc. (FNS) and FNS' president, Cortes W. Randell, settling charges that they entered into agreements that ended competition between them. The Commission's action makes the consent order provisions binding on the respondents.
Reuters America is based in New York City, and FNS is based in Washington, D.C. Under the final order with FNS and Randell, they are prohibited from:
- agreeing, or attempting to enter into an agreement, to allocate customers or divide markets with providers of news transcripts;
- entering into, continuing or renewing any agreement that prevents Reuters America from competing with FNS and Randell in the production, marketing or sale of news transcripts;
- renewing their news transcript supply agreement with Reuters America for five years; and
- agreeing, or attempting to enter into agreements, with competitors or purchasers of their transcripts to fix or maintain resale prices for the transcripts.
The order against Reuters America contains provisions similar to those in the FNS order.
The consent agreements were announced for a public-comment period on Sept. 22, 1995. The Commission votes to issue them in final form occurred on Dec. 18, and were 5-0.
NOTE: A consent agreement is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute admission of a law violation. When the Commission issues a consent order on a final basis, it carries the force of law with respect to future actions. Each violation of such an order may result in a civil penalty of up to $10,000.
A news release summarizing the complaints and consent agreements was issued at the time the Commission accepted the consent agreements for public comment. Copies of that release and of the complaints and final orders are available from the FTC's Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-326-2222; TTY for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261.

Research Interests: My research interests concentrate on comparative, adaptive mechanisms of reproductive processes. I am intrigued by the vast array of reproductive strategies which all have evolved to one end: the production of young. Investigations of morphology, physiology (especially endocrinology) and behavior of a wide variety of animals provide data on conserved versus unique features. Results from captive studies have particular application to conservation programs of captive breeding and reintroductions.

Wren VMS Software lets schools capture, review and manage video from multiple locations and easily access live and archived video from a PC.
Network Video Makes the Grade at Jefferson City High School
In the heart of Missouri, Jefferson City High School (JCHS) makes security a top priority. Previously, JCHS's video surveillance equipment consisted of a few analog video cameras. Increasingly, the school's staff was finding that the legacy surveillance system was outdated and lacked the ability to provide quality video images of all key areas across the cam¬pus and most importantly, easy access to video files. To improve security and to invest in cutting-edge video solutions and software, JCHS turned to network video solution provider, Wren.
The administration's first step was to invest in more cameras to capture video in high traffic areas. Additionally, the ad¬ministration implemented Wren Video Management System (VMS) Software to make it easy to retrieve, view, and share video images now being captured from so many vital points across campus.
Julia Koch, Assistant Principal, came on board at JCHS as the second set of cameras was being deployed. "After progressing through the initial learning curve of a new video system, we were quickly able to real¬ize the benefits of our new network video system," recalled Koch.
Whereas use of the old system was limited to primarily post-incident investigations, the new network video system is now used on an increasingly proactive basis to identify potential problems and correct them. A key enabler for taking a proactive stance with operational and security improvements is the VMS Software that enables Koch to easily review video on her PC when¬ever she needs to.
"We have limited staff and time, so quick and easy access to the video is essential to making it useful to us on a daily basis. Initially, we were using the video to investigate incidences, but as we learn more about the capabilities of the system and the ease of locating critical video, we are beginning to use insights from video on a proactive basis," noted Koch. Most recently, Koch has been using video to monitor and evaluate processes and staff performance during emergency drills.
"We absolutely must ensure maximum speed and efficiency during these drills. In addition, we need to test the ability of students and staff to deal with obstacles that present themselves," said Koch. In a recent drill, Koch blocked a couple of the exits to test students and staff response.
Watching the evacuation process live using Wren VMS Software, Koch was able to measure the additional time it took to evacuate and provide recommendations to staff on other exits that would have reduced their time to evacuate.
Koch is also using video to capture and resolve incidences. Recently, there were a couple of rare but serious incidences on campus. JCHS was able to pull video from a number of different cameras across campus to track intruders and piece together a vandalism event.
"Law enforcement was extremely impressed with the quality video we were able to provide. It really was essential in their investigation and prosecution of the crime." said Koch.Thanks to Wren VMS Software, JCHS is advancing security and operations.

Amid furore created by AIADMK members in Parliament for the second day running, in the wake of comments by Markandey Katju, Government today admitted that a Supreme Court collegium during the UPA rule had recommended extension of a judge in Tamil Nadu who was under corruption cloud.
"Name the DMK Minister at the Centre," shouted agitated AIADMK members who stormed the Well of the Lok Sabha as they were not satisfied with the response given by Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, forcing two adjournments of the House.
The Rajya Sabha also saw disruption on the issue, with AIADMK and DMK members clashing on the matter when it assembled for the day leading to a brief adjournment.
Responding to AIADMK members' demands in the Lok Sabha, Prasad said in 2003, the collegium had "certain reservations" and had made some enquiries and decided that the case of this judge should not be taken up.
But later during the UPA rule, a clarification was sought by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) as to why he should not be recommended. The collegium again said he should not have been recommended at all.
Later, the Justice Department of the Law Ministry wrote a note to the collegium following which it said that his case can be considered for some extension, Prasad said, adding the matter stood there thereafter.
The Law Minister said the judge has since retired and was no more now. The judges of the collegium have also retired.
Quoting Supreme Court's observation in Shanti Bhushan case, he remarked the "clock cannot be put back".
The concern raised by the AIADMK members was well appreciated and there is imperative need to improve the system of judges appointment, he said, adding the government was "quite keen" to appoint a National Judicial Commission for making such appointments.
At one point, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge raised a point of order that there was a restriction on discussion on judiciary and judges in Parliament.
To this, the Law Minister said "I am not making any observation on the conduct of a judge."

With the partnership, MusclePharm will now have exclusive in-ring placement, including its trademark MP logo on the Octagon mat and bumpers up to 10 times per year during UFC live events, which are viewed by millions of fans worldwide.
The map placement will be in place for the UFC's ground-breaking network television debut on FOX that takes place on Nov. 11. MusclePharm's strong presence will be evident on that night, as the UFC makes its network debut with a heavyweight championship fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos that will be seen by tens of millions of fans across the United States and will be one of the most-viewed matchups in UFC history.
In addition, the partnership includes strong digital media activation and will include an exclusive MusclePharm nutritional section on the www.UFC.com homepage, which draws millions of visitors each month.
The activation will also allow MusclePharm access and visibility on the UFC's Facebook and Twitter pages, which are considered some of the most popular in the social media world and include more than seven million fans.
MusclePharm has previously and continues to be a top sponsor for many of the UFC's top fighters, including worldwide superstars Anderson Silva, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Clay Guida and Rashad Evans.
Now, the growing company, which continues to draw rave reviews in the sports nutrition industry, will have a strong presence on www.ufc.com and inside the Octagon as this amazing partnership takes off.
