Senator Elizabeth Warren along with John McCain, Maria Cantwell and Angus King, have introduced "The 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act," a bill aimed at separating core banking activities from insurance, securities and other non-bank financial services endeavors.
The bill, S. 1282, is clearly another indication that the risks and inequities associated with too-big-to-fail are continuing to garner attention in Washington.
The IBAT Board of Directors in late June reaffirmed their support of the Brown-Vitter bill, requiring higher capital levels for banks over $500 Billion in assets, and taking direct aim at the myriad problems of too-big-to-fail. "We are pleased that the debate on too-big-to-fail is moving forward and the visibility of this issue continues to increase," said Christopher Williston, IBAT President and CEO. "It is something that needs to be addressed, and soon. Obviously there are significant headwinds, and the largest of the financial conglomerates want no part of these proposals. We will continue to push for more parity, and our ultimate hope is for a real two-tiered regulatory system – something that Elizabeth Warren and others have embraced."
Further information is available on Senator Warren's website, and we will be closely monitoring the progress of this initiative.

I installed v9.0 on my Mac Pro. Dumped the 8.4 database using 'pg_dump -Fc -d dbname --username=xyz > backup_file_name' using the pg_dump from the 8.4 installation. I restored the database using 'pg_restore -d dbname backup_file_name' using the 9.0 restore and after creating a new database under 9.0. Under version 9.0 the database looks ok, but I had a lot of the following errors (132) during the restore: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: relation "xyz" already exists ... pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: multiple primary keys for .... pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint ... I tried restoring the 8.4 restore file to a new 8.4 database and there were no errors. It almost looks like the schema already existed when I went to do the restore, but I was careful to create the new database in the admin tool under the correct server. I thought the admin tool created the new database in the data folder of the selected installation. Any ideas on what might have happened? Thanks.

About Jay Mallonee
Wolf & Wildlife Studies is an organization owned and operated by Jay Mallonee, and is dedicated to educating the public about the environment. This occurs through ongoing field research of northwest Montana's wolves, including the nine year study of the Fishtrap wolf pack, presenting the facts about hunting wolves in Montana, and this web site. The book "Timber - A Perfect Life" can also be purchased via this site, and background information about the book and Timber herself is provided. Publications of current and past studies can be downloaded for free: wolf pack behavior never before documented; Tenino, a wild wolf placed into captivity that suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); and the behavior of summering gray whales off the coast of northern California.

ActionLine Magazine Articles
ActionLine is the magazine published by Friends of Animals, and I have written articles for them for several years. Most of these articles have been about the wolf issues here in Montana and my research. However, the curent article chronicles my resuce of an old Karelian bear dog off the main highway near where we live. The article describes how we overcame the severe abuse he had suffered through to achieve a normal and stable life. He lived another three years. The title is "Unconquered," an apt description of his spirit which helped him triumph over incrediable odds. Click here to read or download the article.

Hunting Wolves In Montana - Where Are The Data?
This review paper was published on September 3, 2011, in Nature and Science, a peer reviewed scientific journal.
The study of the Fishtrap pack is part of a larger concept called Project HOWL (Helping Our Wolves Live). It is a blend of education and research to increase the public's awareness of wolves here in northwest Montana, and to offer a more accurate view of how these animals fit into the environment. This includes the study of wolf behavior, public presentations and working with local ranchers to monitor the presence of wolves. Project HOWL is my response to the negative attitude displayed by some of the pubic toward wolves and to help counter the general ignorance about these animals and their behavior.
Project HOWL has proven that people from diverse backgrounds, i.e., hunters, ranchers, students, biologists, and the general public can work together toward a better understanding of our surrounding natural environment. This web site will provide you with some background information about these and other subjects, along with photos and video of the Fishtrap pack. Thank you for visiting this site.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Needs to be an only dog to start(puppies can be brought in later.) She needs to know she's the *main* love of a pack/pack leader. She's great with puppies, and some of the other long time fosters here.
We've decided Mabel can be adopted out separately. She prefers someone who is home a lot- someone that works from home or has a very flexible schedule would be great for her. She's fine with cats, kids and people. She can be a tad pulley to start on a lead, but does listen well to correction and stays at my side. She knows sit, lay and stay. She's house trained and kennel trained.
Giant breed experience a must. No apartments, town homes or duplexes. Or fences under 5ft tall.
Application and approval required. Adoption Fee: $260
Mabel, a Colleyville Mastiff/Great Dane dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Mastiff/Great Dane for sale in Colleyville, or seeking a Mastiff/Great Dane dog from a breeder in Colleyville.

Id contacted quite a few agents which I havent done before to get the best quote. The advisor gave me the best. I was alittle unerved due to one of the agents telling me that the price you quote isnt always available and his was a definate one. After consideration we decided to go with Travel Up but when I rang back the fare on the date of return wasnt available :( The other agent rang me again and after trying for further bullying I put the phone down on him. Next day just after 09.00 he rang me with the dates I wanted and still cheaper than the bullying prat!!. I was overjoyed!!!. He had kept his word and found the dates for me. No pressure or overselling from him. I would definately use him again (cant say about Korean Air business class until we fly).Get Great Holidays Deals From Expedia

Why the Wealthy Give:
Through a series of candid personal interviews with nearly one hundred donors, Why the Wealthy Give offers an in-depth look at the world of elite philanthropy. Francie Ostrower focuses on the New York City area, with its high concentration of affluent donors, to explore both the motivations of individual donors and the significance of philanthropy for the culture and organization of elite groups. In so doing, she offers an account of why the wealthy give that also provides insight into the nature of elite culture, status, identity, and cohesion. Emphasizing the diversity of philanthropy, the book also shows how and why different types of donors support different causes. It further demonstrates how, in the face of considerable change, elite philanthropy has adapted and therefore endured. A timely discussion explores the ways in which elite donors view the respective roles of government and philanthropy. Why the Wealthy Give shows that elite philanthropy involves far more than writing a check. The wealthy take philanthropy and adapt it into an entire way of life that serves as a vehicle for the social and cultural life of their class. This is reflected in the widespread popularity of educational and cultural causes among donors. At the same time, Ostrower finds divergent patterns of giving that reflect alternative sources of donor identity, such as religion, ethnicity, and gender, and explains why certain kinds of donors are more or less likely to diverge from the prestige hierarchy of their class in their philanthropy.
"This superb book will be required reading for scholars, fundraisers, nonprofit administrators, trustees, and anyone who is interested in the lives of the wealthy and well-born."--Kathleen McCarthy, Director, Center for the Study of Philanthropy
"Ostrower's book is one of the finest pieces of social science research to emerge from the new academic field of philanthropic studies. . . . This important book demonstrates that the most professionally rigorous forms of social science analysis can be presented in lucid prose and easily comprehended ideas."--Choice
"I have found Why the Wealthy Give fascinating reading. Anyone involved in philanthropic foundations should read this book."--Brooke Astor
"A milestone in the study of giving. . .Casts fresh light on aspects of donors' philanthropic careers and motivations."--Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University

17 May 1923
Born In
Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania, United States
17 June 1983 (aged 60)
Peter Mennin (born Mennini) (May 17, 1923, Erie, Pennsylvania – June 17, 1983, New York City) was an American composer and teacher. He directed the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, then for many years ran the Juilliard School, succeeding William Schuman in this role. He began composing at an early age, and wrote nine symphonies, several concertos, and numerous works for wind band, chorus, and other ensembles. His style became more chromatic and astringent with time, but was always essentially tonal, relying heavily on polyphony.
Mennin's fifth symphony of 1950, which is tonal, energetic and suspenseful, was recorded by Howard Hanson and the Eastman Rochester Orchestra in the Mercury series of American classical works – the original LP also included the "New England Triptych" of William Schuman – and for years was the only widely-available recording of Mennin's work, though its reissue on CD prompted several other recordings of Mennin compositions.
Juilliard awards a Peter Mennin prize, for Outstanding Achievement and Leadership in Music.
His notable students include Jacob Druckman, Richard Danielpour, Karl Korte, Charles L. Bestor, and Claire Polin.

Diablo: Hellfire -The Evil Mod
Download Diablo: Hellfire -The Evil Mod
File Info: Diablo: Hellfire -The Evil Mod
Diablo: Hellfire -The Evil Mod
Dexter Team
Description: Diablo: Hellfire -The Evil ModThe hallmark of The Hell is an unbelievably serious approach to development. First and foremost, it is concentrated on getting rid of all the initial bugs of Diablo & Hellfire. It also raises challenge considerably, gives much more variety (monsters, items, spells, boss monsters, unique items, item & environment colors), improves overall difficulty balance of the game, improves monster AI, introduces new character animations, increases replay value and gives full support for Multiplayer experience. It is the HARDEST of Diablo Hellfire mods. Nowadays we have version 1.67+ and it's fully functional, has many bugs of original game fixed, is running smooth, and on average is working way better than original game. The amount of changes are tremendous (trust me), part of them are available in Changes Log file inside archive.
The Hell
Diablo Hellfire mod + addon, done by Mordor & TH Team
I've been playing Diablo since September 25, 1998, on a regular basis. I have always loved this game for its original taste: dark atmosphere, cold steel and blood. In July 1999 I came across Hellfire, which had more features. Yet, it kept me wanting to fix 'this and that'. I didn't know how to modify game data at those times, and simply enjoyed the game and kept playing from time to time...
Only in March 2006 did I start searching Internet for the data about Hellfire. So, there it began. This modification was started on April 14, 2006. It is based on vanilla Hellfire 1.01 and is regularly updated.
This game has the purpose of raising challenge to the maximum, giving more variety (monster types, items, spells, bosses, unique items), providing more randomness (monster generation on levels, monster stats, varying mob sizes and bosses, AC on items, level colouring, drops, uniques with greatly varying stats, etc.) and making the Multiplayer experience fully functional. And, most importantly, this game has one main goal: to give maximum pleasure from playing the game.
I encourage you to visit TheHell's forums ->>> http://DiabloTheHell.freeforums.org <<<- You'll find a lot of useful stuff there.
At the moment we are working on giving Assassin improved GFX. Gladiator's animation has been finished already. Be sure to check back regularly for updates.
Make sure to register on The Hell forum. You will find TONS of useful information there! And also you can make friends with other players and create parties for cooperative playing.
Some claim The Hell to be the best of Diablo Hellfire mods. Give it a try and, perhaps, you will think the same.
When downloading the game, be sure to check the comments under the link. It gives crucial information about its requirements. Sometimes a full release is THE new version and patch is old. And sometimes a patch *requires* full release pre-installed. Watch release dates and you won't get lost.
Before installing, make a backup of the following files (if you install into your Hellfire folder):
- Standard.snp
- Storm.dll
- SmackW32.dll
Unpack ALL the contents to your Hellfire* directory (or more preferrably, into a copy of your Hellfire folder) and start the executable (TheHell.exe);
Don't worry - it won't replace/or overwrite any of your Hellfire files or savegames;
* Note: for this game to work, you'll need Hellfire pre-installed on your PC;
For 'The Hell' to work properly, these files are needed:
The Hell ReadMe.txt <- the one you're reading now :)
TheHell.exe (the executable file)
To be able to use Gillian's services (Stash) you must run 'TheHell.exe' instead 'TH.exe'. Get it? Do NOT use this program to import equipment from original Hellfire (or from other mods). I guarantee you will encounter severe bugs and/or crashes (because data won't match). I recommend that you use it only if you play The Hell in its separate directory (e.g., D:\Games\TheHell).
To enjoy modified music theme of The Hell place the following file in your The Hell directory:
HellMF.mpq (~550MB)
I realise it's quite big, so I made downloading it optional. Running TH without this MPQ file will make the game use Hellfire original music. Note: music addon is actually better be downloaded from Rlyeh's alternative downloads section (download mirror #1), because it supports download resume there (useful if you have a download manager).
In case you don't like the updated music theme, you can simply rename this file to something else, and the game will again use original Hellfire music.
To make the game use additional GFX for Gladiator and Assassin place the following files in your The Hell directory:
I realise they're quite big, too. Thus, they're made optional also. Running TH without these files will make the game use Hellfire default settings for these classes.
When you download and install new TH release, in order to not to run into glitches and/or game crashes, you will have to start new Singleplayer game. Remember this, as this game is frequently updated.
Single-Player Savegame files are stored in your TheHell directory under names 'hellsp_#.hsv'. Multiplayer Savegame files are stored in your 'Windows' directory (default root is C:\Windows) under names 'hellmp_x.drv' (they have 'hidden' attribute). I advise making backups of your save files from time to time. Be aware that trying to import savegame files from Hellfire (or other mods) can cause the game to lock up or become unable to start with crashing from the game after enetering character selection menu. In case you're changing your PC, you'll have to set your new PC network name to what your previous had, this is required to let the transferred multiplayer savegame files become functional on your new PC.
Where to check your PC network name? Here's 'how to':
1. Go to 'My computer'
2. Right click, select 'Properties'
3. Hit 'Computer name' tab
4. There you'll see the name in a small window..
5. Also, click 'change' button and it will open another window with the PC name.
I don't remember which one *exactly* influences multiplayer savegame functionality, but I know for sure that setting both names to what they were on the previous PC brings the desired result.
There is no longer need for a 'command.txt' file, and any parameters in such a file will not be used.
Known problems with installation and startup:
Q: the game starts, but after creating the character and trying to enter the game it crashes with the Data file error. What's wrong?
A: make sure you have copied the following MPQ files from your Hellfire CD to your The Hell folder: DIABDAT.MPQ, HELLFIRE.MPQ, HFMONK.MPQ
Q: I cannot setup my system settings correctly to play online. What to do?
A: Download and follow the steps in Hamachi Setup Guide (you can download it from The Hell's homepage, Downloads section)
If there are other problems, ask your question on TH forum (http://diablothehell.freeforums.org)
I recommend playing all 3 difficulty levels one by one. Don't start playing at next difficulty level unless you have finished previous one: not only this will prove way too challenging (or, most likely, impossible) but also will spoil your pleasure from playing. Forget all you've learnt in previous Diablo/Hellfire games. This one is different. Don't make the mistake of playing on Horror difficulty and then stop. Horror dificlulty is basically to get you familiar with this game and give you a taste of it. Real game begins from Purgatory. The game is balanced to reach most fun on 'Doom' mode, so don't quit after beating the game on Horror difficulty (it's only the beginning). Actually, playing on Doom mode will never be dull or easy, because no matter how high is your level or how good is your equipment, you'll always die quickly if you lose attention.
Again, I'm going to repeat it: this game IS hard. Don't overestimate yourself as you venture deeper into the dungeons. Some of those monsters are VERY unforgiving. While Single-Player allows you to take enemies by one and reload in case of failure, Multi-Player mode almost REQUIRES cooperation. Playing TH in MP alone will be almost impossible sometimes. You've been warned.
In Single-player, unique items that you got from doing the quests will morph into useless scrap metal when you restart the game. Don't be surprised when that happens. This might get fixed if I find a way to fix that. And by the way, I received several reports that if you give your quest items to Gillian before restarting the items will not morph. I didn't check that myself, but you might want to try this trick.
Study 'The Hell Guide' at http://www.TheHell.narod.ru (the latest versions of the Guide can be found on Forum only)
If you read nothing else, read the Guide. It will make the difference.
There are quite a number of things you should know before starting the game. Read the Guide.
See 'TH Changes Log.txt'
This game has a full support for multiplayer. With its key features, like restriction to Horror difficulty for clvl 30+ characters and Purgatory difficulty for clvl 40+ players, not losing your gear upon dying, etc.
There is a multiplayer network for The Hell in Internet. We use Hamachi program (don't worry, it's free).
You can download it from: http://www.hamachi.cc/download/list.php, or better yet, use the method described below.
I personally recommend using Hamachi vesion 184.108.40.206. You can get it straight on TH site, in Downloads section.
Warning: if you use any other version of Hamachi other than 184.108.40.206, we don't guarantee that you will be able to play with others.
Check 'The Hell over Hamachi Setup Guide.pdf' file for details on setting up for multiplayer game over Internet.
When in Hamachi you can join the existing network:
Login to network: thehell01*
Password: mordor*
*type in exactly, Hamachi is case-sensitive.
There are other networks, of course. Make sure to check threads on our forum about playing online. If you've run into complications, this will probably help you.
Yes, you can play on Kali (..another program of that sort..), but since I don't play on it myself yet, I can't tell you how to set up the game for playing on it. I'd appreciate any info on this though...
Note: you can assign F9-F12 hotkeys to your desired quick commands by editing 'HellMSG.ini' file.
Of course, if you want to play with a friend of yours, you can play by directly connecting your PCs to each other. Direct connection works, too.
Most of the (useful) spells are hotkeyed to allow switching between them instantly when playing. You don't even need the speedbook anymore.
Here is the list of all these spells:
Q - Teleport
W - Fire Wall
E - Lightning Wall
R - Fire Nova
T - Lightning Nova
Y - Arcane Nova
U - Holy Nova
O - Town portal
A - Fiery blast
S - Lightning ball
D - Arcane Star
F - Stone Curse
G - Golem
H - Holy Bolt
J - Flash
K - Inferno
L - Lightning
X - Hellfire
B - Bone Spirit
N - Flame Ring
M - Lightning Ring

Here are some of the jobs our recent county judges held before they ascended to the bench:
Public defender.
Assistant county attorney.
Baker at Publix.
"Recent" is a relative term, of course. But consider that Edwin Malmquist, the former baker and judge who died Monday at age 94, wore a robe to work until January 1989, when the county was more or less in its current form. Citrus as an economic force was dead. Spring Hill had been around for more than 20 years, and Hernando's population was closing in on 100,000.
How was this possible so late in our history, a judge without a legal degree? Well, because of a situation definitely not recognizable to modern Floridians: a shortage of lawyers, especially in small rural counties. At one time, Malmquist was one of four county judges who lacked a legal degree in the 5th Judicial Circuit, which includes Hernando, said veteran Brooksville lawyer Jimmy Brown.
There was another reason Malmquist made it to the bench and stayed there. He was a pure politician — not in the modern sense of being willing to step on his mother's neck to get ahead, but in the older meaning that he never met a stranger.
"If there were two people who stopped on a street corner, before they finished their conversation Judge Malmquist would be there talking to them," Brown said.
"I bet he shook everybody's hand in Hernando County," Bill Eppley, a Brooksville lawyer, said of Malmquist's first campaign, in 1976. He beat his complacent opponent, Monroe Treiman, another nonlawyer who had held the judge's job since 1948, by six votes.
"Monroe didn't campaign," Eppley said.
As a judge, Malmquist was so personable that even people he ruled against walked out of his courtroom marveling about what a decent fellow he was.
"Judge Malmquist was just a wonderful human being," Eppley said.
And describing him as a supermarket baker is a disservice to his early career, said his daughter, Diane Cook, of Vancouver, Wash., one of Malmquist's three surviving children.
He owned a bakery in Monticello, Ind., and was such an accomplished cake decorator that he was invited to work at the inaugural banquets of President John F. Kennedy in 1961. There, he made some of the political connections that helped get him an appointment as a city judge in his hometown.
He was also a pilot who owned a small airplane that he liked to fly down to his vacation home in Brooksville, his daughter said. Malmquist and his wife, Catherine, who survives him, moved their family here permanently after the "super outbreak" of Midwestern tornadoes in April 1974 destroyed much of Monticello. The job at Publix, Cook said, was a stopgap as he eyed the county judge's job.
How did he do on the bench? Pretty darned well, considering.
He was fair-minded and smart and asked good questions, said retired Circuit Judge Jack Springstead, who won the election in 1988 to replace Malmquist. Also, Springstead said, the misdemeanors and low-dollar civil cases Malmquist handled in County Court usually didn't require great legal knowledge.
But when they did, Malmquist's lack of a degree could be a handicap, said Peyton Hyslop, another longtime county judge. One local lawyer, Hyslop said, still talks about the time Malmquist had denied so many defense motions that he finally granted one to even the score. It wasn't until lawyers started packing up their briefs that Malmquist realized he'd dismissed the case.
And when it came to the rules covering the admission of evidence, Hyslop said, Malmquist often had to rely on prosecutors.
Florida voters decided to end the era of nonlawyer judges in 1984, when they passed a constitutional amendment requiring a legal degree for judges and capped the age at which they could run for office at 69, which eventually forced Malmquist to resign.
The rules had changed, in other words. And even as they applied to decent, honest judges like Malmquist, it was probably about time.

I want to obtain some custom ICC profiles and have downloaded an ACPU file and have managed to get a tiff target patch ready to print.
Sorry but I'm a bit dim on this - the two answers to date seem to contradict each other. Is it possible to just do me an idiots set of instructions if your view prevails digitaldog.I have Lightroom 5, and I'm sure people send of for custom profiles when using LR - don't they?
Is it possible to just do me an idiots set of instructions if your view prevails digitaldog.
AFAIK, if you're printing from LR, you can't use the Photoshop plug-in.
So use ACPU and the 'standard' Canon print driver.
Can't do that. The printer driver is incompatible with ACPU.
Just ACPU?
You could print the target in say i1Profiler?
Yes that is the dumbest thing I've heard of in a long time. WTF is Canon thinking?
So can you print the target in Photoshop with the plug-in, then just use that profile in LR and elsewhere or has something's changed in the year's since I had a Canon to play with?
Well if you run the ACPU, pull in the tiff patch file, go to print (from the ACPU) - then within the printer driver -special settings - Application Colour Matching Priority off - then print - wouldn't that get you your printed page to send off?
No, it's not supported either. I can't believe you haven't run into this before now!
Nothing has changed. Profiles are fully interchangeable and the ACPU has never been supported.
I'm sure you get to use you're clients iPF printers.
And you don't even need the the printer to play around with this.
Did three last week, all printed from the Plug-in out of Photoshop.
My Canon image PROGRAF Printer Driver 2010 (for Windows 7) is version 4.31 - should I have downloaded something else? All the headings I mentioned are featured.
That on-board calibration process is really cool isn't it?

Governor Brown's announcement today of a budget with a surplus and increases in public education spending is a welcome sign of our state's improving fiscal status," Senator Mark DeSaulnier said. "I have seen firsthand as Democratic legislators have voted to make tough cuts to restore fiscal order. With our budget deficit closed, it is time to begin reinvesting in the most vital programs in our state, paying down our debt, and continuing to rebuild a stronger post-recession California. As we begin to pay down our debt and reinvest in critical programs, we must do so in a strategic and thoughtful manner. Governmental oversight and keeping a vigilant eye on spending must remain top priorities. I agree with the Governor's view that 2013 should be a year of fiscal discipline and living within our means.

We've discussed Blake DeChristopher's beard in this space before, but Virginia Tech's starting right tackle has taken his facial hair to new extremes this season.
I told DeChristopher Tuesday he looked like the lion from the "Wizard of Oz" and predicted he'd be a menacing figure if he decides to deliver any pregame speeches this year. He hasn't trimmed the beard in close to two months, he said, and it could be developing supernatural powers.
"I don't think I would have to say anything," DeChristopher said of a hypothetical locker room talk to the team. "My beard would say it all." (For the record, colleague Kyle Tucker got a photo of the beard during the first day of training camp last month, and it's only gotten shaggier.)
More important, though, is another DeChristopher body part – the left pectoral muscle he strained just before training camp began. As expected, though, the player with more starts than any other player on Virginia Tech's roster declared himself 100 percent healthy and ready to go for Saturday's season opener against Appalachian State.
DeChristopher said he finally felt back to normal last week, but he's not sure whether the extended amount of time off will prove beneficial or not.
"It was nice to rest up my body. I've been struggling with some tendonitis and a pulled hamstring I had a couple weeks before the pec," DeChristopher said. "I have been through the program a couple times, so that's helped me, being able to miss some things and just watch on film. But on the other hand, you need to get better and that's what camp is all about."
Virginia Tech's offensive line always seems to be a polarizing unit, and last year they took the brunt of the blame for the Hokies' three losses. But the one that has yet to fade from memory is that Orange Bowl defeat to Stanford.
Afterward in the Sun Life Stadium locker room, DeChristopher was despondent, admitting to reporters that the Cardinal's blitzes "just got in our head." The sting has lasted through the offseason, especially for a unit that returns four of the five starters from that game.
"We messed up on offensive line and as starters we took that on our shoulders and took it to heart because we don't want to be a team that gets beat up like that," DeChristopher said.
Earlier in training camp, offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring called his offensive line "a viable group," but he wanted to hold his ultimate judgment until after the season. Regardless of the opponent he wants them to "go out there and win a game for you."
They may have to do that this week since nobody on the Hokies offense is quite sure what Appalachian State's new 3-4 defensive front will look like. It's a challenge that DeChristopher and his beard seem up to, though.
"We all agree with what Stinepring said completely," DeChristopher said. "We gotta have that mindset that we're gonna dominate people and in order to do that we've gotta bust our [butt] every day in practice to get better. That mentality will help us move in the right direction."

The Sydney International (formerly known as the Championship of New South Wales and New South Wales Open, with various title sponsors), sponsored as the Apia International Sydney as of 2012,[1] is a professional tennis tournament in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The tournament is played annually at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre in Homebush. It is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world, dating to 1885. The tournament is currently noted as an ATP 250 point event on the men's tour and a WTA Premier event on the women's tour.[2] The tournament is held annually in January immediately prior to the Australian Open as a lead up tournament as part of the Australian Open Series.
The model for the Sydney International was formed in 1885 when colonial officials decided there was a need to discover the best tennis player in each of the colonies and to use the tournament to assist with selection to the Australasia Davis Cup team, however the first time the tournament was played as a permanent annual event was in 1935. Between 1970 and 1989 it was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit and an Grand Prix Super Series tournament from 1970–1971.
Tournament locations[edit]
The inaugural edition of the tournament was played in May 1885 at the "Association Ground" in Moore Park, part of the Sydney Cricket Ground.[3] In 1908 control of the tournament was handed over to the NSW Tennis Association and the event moved to its location at Double Bay.[4] From 1922 until 1999 the event was hosted at the White City complex, close to the Sydney CBD.
Since the 2000 edition, the event has been played at the Sydney International Tennis Centre, in Homebush, a suburb of Western Sydney, which was constructed for the tennis events at the 2000 Olympic Games. The venue consists of 15 outdoor courts and a centre court along with an administrative building, for the whole of Tennis NSW.

Lake Powell Pipeline: Albatross or golden goose?

More like the dodo, as in "dead as..."
If, against all reason, Washington County becomes dependent on Colorado water, it has signed its own death warrant.
Hank Saint George, UTMay 14, 2012 6:53 p.m.
Re: dart thrower.... The residents would probably vote down a bond for this project and thats why the Water District petitioned the state legislature for some kind of a state tax or funding to help pay for it. The state went for it and now everybody gets to pay. The county residents have already seen how the district is blowing money on a "no expenses spared" office building for themselves and now a $1.4 million dollar park next to it to show how they can spend even more money. This project will be at least 2 billion when they get finished with it so the $1.2 billion they are talking about is way too low. Cedar City was smart to opt out of this deal.
Dart Thrower Ogden, UTMay 14, 2012 5:22 p.m.
This is the worst kind of socialism. The residents of Washington County have outgrown their natural supply of water, so to increase it unnaturally, everyone in Utah is supposed to chip in. If Washington County wants to build this and reap the economic benefits, then they should bond for it and put impact fees on all new construction. Isn't that the way the free market is supposed to work?
DustinCedarCity Cedar City, UTMay 14, 2012 1:56 p.m.
I live in Cedar City (Iron County) and I was thrilled when our leaders here decided not to be involved with this Titanic water project! I think it's ridiculous. I heard that something like 61% of household water usage in Washington County goes to water lawns? That's INSANE! Even if that figure is off, there is still no reason people in an extremely arid desert need to have green lawns. Also I agree with other commentors who've said the tax payers of Utah shouldn't have to pay to keep golf courses green around St. George.
For being a very conservative state, people in Utah, especially Washington County, sure don't seem to apply that conservatism to water usage! I'm sure many see water conservatism as green or liberal or whatever, so it must be evil then lol.
My other concern is Lake Powell. What's going to be left of that lake in the 20s when the project is done? You can't pump water from an empty lake!
And the California water isn't only for California's use. It benefits us all. Do you like to eat lettuce? Thank California water for that.
Flashback Kearns, UTMay 14, 2012 1:42 p.m.
AmPatriot-The Central Utah water project has taken a lot of that water from the Colorado River drainage and put it into the Wasatch front. You don't believe me, go up the road to Mirror Lake and stop at some of the places where those pipelines have been in place for some time. Same thing with the tunnel from Strawberry through Diamond Fork. Northern Utah has infrustructure in place to take advantage of our allotment of Colorado River water, but Southern Utah doesn't. We need to get the water, otherwise, we will lose it. I wouldn't expect Van Dam to like it anyway.
JediToby Tooele, UTMay 14, 2012 12:27 p.m.
Hey, at least someone wants to use Utah's water for a Utah community. Las Vegas (that's south of St. George, by the way) wants to pump out our groundwater here in Tooele county to keep them viable, notwithstanding the fact that the last five years have seen massive contraction in their population due to the economic climate.
But to the point at hand: didn't I just read in another article that the Colorado was oversubscribed in the first place? I see the need--St. George et al. is a growing community and that needs water--but I'm really wondering about the availability of the supply. The problem is that in 20 years, St. George isn't going to be growing as the boomers die off. Then what?
Emajor Ogden, UTMay 14, 2012 11:44 a.m.
David B.,
"Heck with Ca. if they need water water build a water purification system large enough to use the pacific ocean."
That's a rather ungenerous thought to have about your fellow Americans. Anyhow, St. George is as foreign to me as SoCal. Might as well be in another state; they're close enough to the border. So I say to heck with St.George. If they need water they can wake up, realize they live on the border of the torrid Mojave, and get rid of the lawns and golf courses. That should buy them enough time and water to figure out the finances of the pipeline.
SoCal can't have that water forever anyway, it's legally entitled to Utah. But Washington County is intent on wasting it and doing so in a very expensive manner. On what planet is it responsible or economical to have lush green lawns for 100,000+ people in a climate that can barely grow Joshua trees? The culture of St.George needs to change, then water managers like Ron Thompson won't have to cater to it with projects like this.
David B. Cedar City, UTMay 14, 2012 9:50 a.m.
Utah and Az. should have the primary rights to the water at Lake Powell and it should completely utilized by the people of southern Utah. Heck with Ca. if they need water water build a water purification system large enough to use the pacific ocean.
Prodicus Provo, UTMay 14, 2012 8:38 a.m.
Definitely albatross. Anyone should be able to see this is a bad idea.
If Washington County had to bear 100% of the cost they would never build it.
If Washington County doesn't bear all of the costs, this amounts to everybody else in the state having to spend a ridiculous amount of money to subsidize golf courses in the middle of the desert.
Explosive growth and fairly low water bills in the middle of the desert are totally unnatural, and nobody should have expected that either would last long.
AmPatriot Taylorsville, UTMay 14, 2012 4:53 a.m.
Most of the people of Utah are too young to remember to reason for and why we still have an item on property tax notices of something called the Jorandelle Canal or Pipeline tax as it was initially began as. But about 40 years ago in Utah we voted a bond to build a pipe line from the Colorado river to SL valley. But about half way across Utah and the going through the Wasatch Mountains Corruption in the pipeline taxes took all the money and the shut down this project.
Then conveniently by legislation, they converted the pipeline taxes being collected to build what is now presently known as the Jordanelle Reservoir near Park City using the pipeline taxes which the state still collects the taxes to this day. I think the logic is that the pipeline is still a work in progress idea and idea's cost money in Utah since it is intellectual property.
Anyway the pipe line is a curse to tax payers and it should be noted and required that if not completed or if completed the bond and tax is immediately dissolved.
sjgf South Jordan, UTMay 13, 2012 11:56 p.m.
Currently, Utah has unused water rights to the Colorado River water. Other states, such as Nevada and California, are using more of the Colorado River water than they are entitled to.
If Utah doesn't start to use its shares, politics will eventually dissolve Utah's rights to this water. Either we build such a pipeline, or the right will eventually transfer permanently to other states.
On the other hand, it is very expensive to pipe this water.
As a model, we have the California Aqueduct, which diverts a lot of water from the San Joaquin River in Northern California, to supply the Southern California areas of Victorville, Los Angeles, etc. I used to live in that area and was disturbed during drought years when the water went south to keep the Southern California lawns green, while drought restrictions forced those in Northern California to let their lawns die. If politics hadn't altered nature, those in Northern California would have had plenty of water, and those in Southern California would have had to tighten their belts.
Political decisions must be made. Either spend the money to use the water to which we have rights, or lose those rights.

NEW YORK (Jun. 29)
A federal judge said here Wednesday that the United States cannot close the Palestine Liberation Organization's observer mission to the United Nations.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Palmieri was a setback to the efforts by the Justice Department to shut down the PLO mission.
U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese ordered the office closed by March 21 under the 1987 Anti-Terrorism Act, which was adopted by Congress late last year and signed by President Reagan on Dec. 22.
The PLO ignored the order and the Justice Department promptly sued in U.S. District Court to have the order enforced.
Steven Obus, chief of the civil division of the U.S. District Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, had no comment late Wednesday on the ruling.
He told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, however, that District Attorney Rudolph Giuliani was studying it and would consult with the Justice Department before deciding whether to appeal.
The Justice Department has 60 days to appeal. The process would take the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals and eventually to the Supreme Court.
Judge Palmieri found that the 1947 Headquarters Agreement establishing U.N. headquarters in New York "leaves no doubt" that the United States is obligated "to refrain from impairing the function" of the PLO mission.
The judge also said that the legislative history of the Anti-Terrorism Act does "not manifest Congress' intent to abrogate this obligation."
He concluded that the Anti-Terrorism Act does not supersede the Headquarters Agreement, although restrictions on PLO activity within the United States are appropriate, aside from application to the U.N. mission.
Under the Anti-Terrorism Act, the United States also closed down the PLO's information office in Washington last year.
Wednesday's court ruling is the second legal setback in the case for the United States. On April 27, the International Court of Justice at The Hague issued a unanimous ruling that the United States must submit to arbitration over its order to shut down the PLO mission. The Reagan administration did not comply.
The World Court acted on petition of the United Nations, which contended that the Justice Department's closure order was in violation of the Headquarters Agreement.
U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar issued a short statement Wednesday saying he was "gratified" by Judge Palmieri's ruling, which "demonstrates the respect of the United States court for the international obligation of the country."
A spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations said only, "We have been informed and are studying the written text and consulting the Justice Department on this issue."
No representatives of the Israeli Mission to the United Nations or the Israeli Consulate General in New York could be reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon. Zehdi Terzi, the PLO's representative to the United Nations, also was unavailable for comment.
(Reporters Andrew Silow Carroll in New York and Howard Rosenberg in Washington contributed to this story.)

The physicist sitting across from me gasped. A faint electro-luminance begins to flicker as the organic light emitting diode's (OLED) electrons are recombining into holes and releasing their photons: a brilliant, natural glow. Organic.
It was a rather ingenuous device. After testing the prototypes in the labs, I would soon bring a proposal to build a structure in the city that I would name the Hourglass. The OLED bearing grey panels around surrounding the Hourglass lifted and folded within themselves, allowing sunlight to enter in day. At night, they would envelop the Hourglass for protection. The entire machine was meant to generate energy for the nearby city: the rings that encircled its center were sheets of organic solar cells, or organic photovoltaics (OPVs). They would harvest the energy and convert them into electricity by the disassociation of an exciton.
"How can you expect the devices to not crack and break during construction and use?" The physicist inquired.
After all, typical organic photovoltaics had an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) anode layer, which made the device brittle and prone to damage from bending.
"Carbon nanotubes." I mused, "Multi-walled carbon nanotubes."
Instead of the brittle ITO, the organic solar cells incorporated the MWNTs into the solar cells, which were flexible and durable.
"At the molecular level, carbon nanotubes are stronger than both steel and diamond. They are lattices of carbon nestled within each other, created from carbon gas and an iron catalyst. They are grown into 'forests' and spun out onto wire jacks. Of course, it would require meticulous detailing and careful technical skills."
The physicist was amused. So far, I had suggested a matrix of twelve Hourglasses throughout the city, providing the homes and corporations with the energy they needed from the sun. I had not mentioned that organic solar cells had finally reached efficiencies higher than that of their silicon-based inorganic counterparts, or even the thin-film photovoltaics.
"85% efficiency?" he cried in disbelief as I nodded and continued to draw the blueprint.
"Organic solar cells have never gotten to such high levels before. What makes you think that you can create an OPV with such incredible efficiency?"
I smiled and began to explain. The process was simple, really. Again, the carbon nanotubes were involved in the plan. However, this time, since the carbon nanotubes have a 3D matrix that extend into the organic layers, they allow for more percolation paths throughout the device. In other words, the solar cells would be more efficient once there are more paths for the carriers to penetrate the device. The current would increase, and the photon harvesting would consequently increase as well.
"What happens," he asked, "if there is too much current running through the device. You have organic polymers: PBCM is one of them. Would they not burn with such high currents?"
My reply? "D-Sorbitol. Yes, that's the artificial sweetener found in your gum. However, it also crystallizes easy and forms a shield around the organic molecules that prevents them from burning. While we might sacrifice some efficiency, hopefully the effectiveness of the carbon nanotubes mixed with the PEDOT:PSS hole blocking layer would balance it out. In the end, we will have an extremely efficient, extremely durable device. What else could you ask for the power source of a city?"
He chuckled. "Perhaps that will work. However, what do you propose to do with the inner grey panels. What are these…organic light emitting diodes, or OLEDs, that you always talk about?"
I pointed towards the bright panels lining the sides of the protection wall.
"These are cost effective forms of light that can be used for both aesthetic purposes and for guidance for engineers who need to repair the Hourglasses at nighttime. They can be turned on and off with the simple manipulation of voltage."
"How exactly are they created?" he inquired, pulling the blueprint closer to him.
"Well," I began, "They are, in essence, very similar to the organic solar cells. They are the reverse: while organic solar cells absorb light and create electricity, OLEDs use electricity to generate light. They have the same structure, and their only difference lies in their organic layers: while solar cells have PBCM, OLEDs may have a range of polymers and molecules, from PFO to alpha-NPD and Alq3."
Pointing to the blueprint of my plan, I continued, "They can be created on plastic substrates, which gives them the ability to be bent and molded to the curved shape of the walls. Don't you see? They add aesthetic pleasure for tourists of the Hourglass, but they're also practical for repairmen."
Engineers have to consider all aspects of a design: the science, the aesthetics, the practicality. Before the blueprint would go into effect, I would also have to write proposals and convince the city council to make a budget for the Hourglass. Taking the cost into consideration, I had opted for more cost effective materials: plastic substrates, carbon nanotubes (carbon being abundant in the biosphere), simple yet sturdy organic polymers, and an aluminum cathode. While gold cathodes have a higher difference in work function from the anode and would result in a brighter device, I decided that the OLEDs only required 2000 candela to light the pathways of the Hourglass.
The physicist smiled. "Tell me, Miss Yang, do you see any problems with your plan? It seems rather farfetched."
As a woman engineer, I must have the conviction to follow through with the plan. While I have the passion for science, unless I strongly believe in the success of this combined solar cell – OLED matrix, the city council might not be convinced. I looked towards the glowing OLED 4 feet away, a miniature prototype of the larger scale OLEDs in my plan.
"No, I don't see any impossible problems." While there may be some, as an engineer, it is my job to find a way to make it happen.

Lake Oroville isn't really a lake; it's a reservoir
Why do they refer to the reservoir near Oroville as a "Lake." It's obviously a reservoir and was referred to as such in a large billboard placed at the site in 1957 prior to the start of construction as a "reservoir with a 3,500,000 acre-feet capacity" as a "key to the Feather River Project and part of a project to transport water as far South as San Diego, California."
A picture of the billboard and history is available in a book by Larry R. Matthews titled "The Building of the Oroville Dam." It's available at the local libraries. It would more closely fit the description of a "reservoir" than a "lake" as defined in my dictionary. In a recent picture in the Chico paper parts of it more resembles a stream than a "lake."

Under The Knife
A Sort of Homecoming
There's something about baseball that makes you feel a part of it. Sure, I know football is more popular because it's easy and it's marketed well. The thing is, football requires no commitment and just becomes a big party you go to every week, if you're really into it.
Baseball, on the other hand, requires a certain level of personal investment. "We" is a term I often hear--and say--when watching baseball. Greg Rakestraw always gets on me when I do SportsDesk because I start saying "We just need to get rid of Antonio Alfonseca" or "Every time Prior's on the mound, we win." I yell at the screen, make calls to friends, and generally agonize over a team that I have little to no effect on.
But I'm convinced I have this personal power over the team. I'm sure that you think you have it at times. I sit on the couch in front of the big screen, WGN glaring green and the little box at the top left taunting me with a Cardinals lead. I yell at umpires, scream at players, plead with Dusty, and in the end, begin watching Black Hawk Down because I just can't take it anymore. Naturally, my powers kick in after a while, and by not watching I help the Cubs make an amazing comeback--just the kind that makes me wish I'd seen it, but like Schroedinger's cat, it's dead when you look. I'm sure fans of every team know that psychic surety. Come on, Baseball--market that passion.

Scott Redding will start today's Grand Prix of Argentina from the fifth row of the grid, after qualifying 13th at the all-new Termas de Rio Hondo circuit.
The 21-year-old Quedgeley rider made changes to the set-up of his Honda RCV1000R ahead of FP4, which brought improvements on the harder compound that looks almost certain to be the tyre of choice for tomorrow's 25-lap MotoGP race.
Scott was eventually denied entry to QP2 by the narrowest of margins, losing out to Nicky Hayden by mere thousandths of a second in the closing stages of QP1.
He said: "I'm pretty satisfied with how qualifying went, although I'm also a little disappointed that Nicky is in front of us.
"I felt good in FP4 and the changes we made to the front end of the bike allowed me to be pretty consistent with the hard tyre, which was a big improvement.
"In qualifying I just didn't push hard enough from the start on the softer tyre, so it was my own fault and a lesson learnt for the future.
"I also lost the rear a couple of times on my last two flying laps, losing half a second in just one sector.
"My ideal lap would have been quicker than Nicky's, so we can take some consolation from that.
"I think the only tyre option for the race is the hard compound. The track is improving and so is the tyre life, so the race could be really interesting for us."

The President of the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria, Folusho Adefemi, has said that lack of funds was responsible for Nigeria's inability to participate at the last African Gymnastics Championship in South Africa.
Nigeria had qualified for the competition, which was held from March 27 to 30, but had failed to participate in any of the over 20 categories of events at the competition.
Adefemi said, "It was not as if we don't want to go to South Africa, it is because we have no fund available, that's why we couldn't go to that competition." …
On the other hand, I was proud to see the guys from Senegal. A very well organized Federation, they found a way. For only the second time in history.
Nigeria is a rich nation, richer than South Africa by some measures. There is money in Nigeria. It's not being used to support Gymnastics. 😦

JERUSALEM (Sep. 12)
Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir has blasted the American Jewish Congress mission to Cairo and Amman this week, and also World Jewish Congress president Edgar Bronfman's mission to Moscow this week. (See related story P. 4.)
In an exclusive interview with this reporter, Shamir spoke of the AJC as a "peanut-size organization," and said Bronfman was "not authorized to negotiate on behalf of Israel or the Jewish people." Shamir acknow ledged that his views differed from those of Premier Shimon Peres on this matter.
The AJCongress group met with President Hosni Mubarak and King Hussein this week in an attempt to ascertain peace prospects. They reported to Peres in Jerusalem yesterday that both the President and the King were urging that the PLO "should be put to the test" of diplomacy.
The group, led by Prof. Henry Rosovsky, the Harvard savant, issued a statement expressing their conviction that Egypt and Jordan seek to broaden the peace process urgently, "before forces of religious and political extremism make this task impossible." (See September 12 Bulletin.)
Bronfman's visit to Moscow, at the head of a group of Seagrams executives, follows a preparatory visit some six weeks ago by his top WJC aide, Israel Singer, who met with ranking Soviet officials involved with Jewish emigration.
Bronfman hopes to meet with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev or other politburo members. He reportedly carried with him a letter from Peres to Gorbachev. which Peres conveyed to him two weeks ago. Israel officials said the letter had been "couched in general terms."
Shamir, interviewed here today, sought to pooh-pooh both missions. But this did not conceal his anger at what he plainly feels are incursions upon Israel's prerogative to speak for itself, and also for world Jewry.
He said he was aware that the Soviets were interested in oil-drilling equipment which the Du Pont Company, part-owned by Bronfman, could sell them. But this gave Bronfman no standing to speak for Jewish issues, Shamir asserted.
Turning to the AJCongress Mideast mission, Shamir remarked: 'Who elected them? Who empowered them to enter into negotiations on the Israel-Arab conflict? They merely serve as instruments in the hands of the Arabs to score points against us."
Asked "who elects" other American Jewish organizational leaders, with whom Shamir and his ministry regularly and closely work, Shamir replied: "At least they (the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and other organizations) ask us, consult with us …. The Anti-Defamation League (of B'nai B'rith) would never have done this, nor would B'nai B'rith, nor the American Jewish Committee."
He singled out for special criticism Howard Squadron, a former president of the AJCongress and a former chairman of the Presidents Conference, who was a moving spirit of the AJCongress mission. Shamir described how Squadron, on a previous occasion, had told him of a lavish welcome he had received in Cairo, complete with motorcycle out-riders. "So what?" Shamir said, "Big deal …."
Shamir said the controversy in Israel over the two missions — Bronfman's and the AJCongress — was "not along ideological lines. I am sure there are a great many people in Mr. Peres party who would agree with me."
He recalled how forcefully Premier Golda Meir had opposed — and eventually prevented — Nahum Gold-mann's proposed visit to Egypt to meet with President Nasser.
It was a matter of principle, Shamir said. "The world must know that Israel represents the Jewish people on Jewish problems. Jewish organizations ought not to undertake political work — except when Israel asks them to."
Sometimes, he noted, where Israel had no access, such efforts were vital and valuable. But otherwise it should be Israel that speaks for Jewry on the world stage.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and welcome to just answer. Was the radiator warm at all or cold?
It was cold!
Ok if the heater was hot, but the radiator cold, then that tells me the coolant was not flowing through the radiator, but was flowing through the heater core. That tells me the water pump is working, and the reason coolant was not flowing through the radiator is 1 a stuck closed thermostat, or 2 a plugged radiator. Now you said that the thermostat was replaced so either it is a defective one, or you have a blockage in the radiator. I recommend redoing that thermostat first (maybe your mechanic will do that under warranty). If the problem persists after replacing the thermostat then replace the radiator.
I hope this information helps you, and let me know if you need further assistance with this,
Waaa! I had it done in Algodones Mexico because I had to get home! Also, why would it be a little low on fluid and not "over heat" until I drove - with the AC on - for 250 miles???
Hmmm, It may be an intermittent thermostat issue, or the other thing it could be is a cylinder head gasket that is leaking just a little. This could cause combustion gas's to get into the cooling system and cause flow problems. So, at this point, have a shop do a "block check" with a chemical cooling system block checker. If it fails the test, then the heads will need to be pulled and inspected. Now if it does pass the test, then go with the thermostat/radiator recommendation. One more idea I just thought of: If you find out that there is a leaking head gasket, and you are getting rid of the car in 6 months, try a bottle of Blue Devil head gasket sealer. I have used this product before, and it works. Here is a link their web site.

Did you know that your choice of canine can say a lot about you? Your Inner Dog provides a humorous, lighthearted look at how pet parents compare to their dogs. Best traits, career, leisure, fashion musts, food faves, significant others, and pet peeves are just some of the things your dog's breed can reveal about you. Pug owners, we want to know: Does this breed personality and character profile match your own?
Personality and Character
While Pug people enjoy life, some of you spend too much time as
an observer, at least in some respects. Get out more to mix with people! Perhaps you still harbor
a subconscious fear of others' reactions to you. On the whole, you are even-tempered. You stay
cool even when everyone else is going wild with panic, and even when something goes wrong,
you are not discouraged. Most charming of all, you often say some delightful things that people
are just not expecting—and they love you for it. In fact, you love to surprise people in small ways.
You are impossible to pigeonhole, and that's just the way you like it. You are an idealist, and you
tend to be more interested in a general concept than in the details of making it happen. While
you do have some good long-term ideas about finances, don't neglect professional advice—to do
so might be very costly in the end. You are a great listener.

Sarah Parcak, a University of Alabama at Birmingham professor who calls herself a space archaeologist, has won this year's TED Prize to build a global army of amateur archaeologists who help discover and protect the planet's hidden heritage.
Sarah Parcak, winner of the million-dollar TED Prize, hopes to equip an army of citizen-scientists to discover and protect ancient sites.
Dr. Parcak, winner of the 2016 TED Prize by the nonprofit forum for "ideas worth spreading," announced at a talk in Vancouver on Tuesday evening that she would use the $1 million to build "an online interactive citizen science platform" to allow anyone with a computer to discover and monitor archaeological sites.
Sarah Parcak envisions a 21st century army of citizen scientists to battle the looting and destruction of the world's antiquities.
