Bowling Green State University at 100: A Look Back
This issue of the Archival Chronicle Gallery features Anniversary Celebrations and Presidential Inaugurations of Bowling Green State University's first 100 years. The photographs in this issue are housed in the University Archives at the Center for Archival Collections.
Early Celebrations
Inaugurations: Installing a President
There was no formal inauguration for Dr. Homer Williams, who served as the first President of Bowling Green State University. By the time classes met in 1914, he had been hard at work for two years hiring faculty and working with contractors to get the first buildings constructed. Williams was President until 1937, when the Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Ralph Offenhauer to the position.
The photographs above were taken at the time of Offenhauer's inauguration. The University choir, seated behind the dignitaries, were part of the celebration. Representatives of the Board of Trustees and faculty presented him with the university charter as a symbol of his office. Sadly, Dr. Offenhauer was fatally injured in a car accident in late 1938, after just fourteen months at the University.
Dr. Frank Prout, formerly president of the Board of Trustees of BGSU and Superintendent of the Sandusky City Schools, was chosen to succeed Offenhauer, and his inauguration was similar in form. Again, the ceremony was held in the University's auditorium (at left), and presided over by members of the Board of Trustees. In the view below, Dr. Williams can be seen seated in the front row of officials.
A happier presidential succession took place in 1951. Above, left to right are Dr. Ralph McDonald, fourth president of BGSU, Fraser Reams of the Board of trustees, and the retiring Dr. Prout.
With the University auditorium again hosting the final ceremonies (at right), faculty from every department took their place in the procession to the hall. Dignitaries from the Board of Trustees and representatives of other colleges and universities led the way. The procession seen above is just crossing Thurstin Avenue, through the main entrance to the campus. The Gate Theater is seen in the background.
By 1963, the inauguration of a president of a state university was big news. At left, is the press briefing room, set up in the Student Union, to allow reporters to get complete details of the event. The ceremony, as always, featured members of the Board of Trustees and dignitaries from other universities. But though the form was the same, the inauguration took place outdoors, on the east side of the Student Union, to allow for a larger audience.
Presidential Mace and Medallion
Some new symbolic features were added to the ceremonies for the inauguration of Dr. Jerome. Seen above, left, is the Presidential medallion or pendant, symbolizing the tree of knowledge, designed by Professor Carl Hall. At left, Dr. Harold Hasselschwert prepares to assemble the parts of the mace, which he designed. The symbols and figures (seen in the detail view) represent the six branches of learning: drama, art, literature, music, science, and commerce.
Anniversaries Mark Growth and Change
Bowling Green State College acknowledged its 25th anniversary by becoming a full-fledged University. For the Silver Anniversary of the first graduating class (1939), solemn speeches marked the occasion in the auditorium.
Students and the community were active participants in the Golden Anniversary (celebrated in the 1959-1960 academic year). Balloons and parades set the festive theme for Homecoming that year. The band spelled out greetings, and the U.S. Post Office issued a special cancellation in honor of the milestone.
|The Seventy-fifth Anniversary allowed for still more community and student involvement. Student Carla Strawman won the competition to design the anniversary logo, which is seen on the banner and gift items below. At left, President Paul Olscamp cuts a cake shaped like University Hall to open the fall picnic.

Based on "Downton Abbey" and now his new series "Titanic", Julian Fellowes seems to have a penchant for examining the lives of "the help" or the lower classes – those who lacked an outlet for telling their stories. Thank goodness because there are some interesting tales to tell.
Fellowes's new four-part series "Titanic" does what Cameron's Titanic failed to do which was focus on the lives of the crew and second class passengers aboard the doomed luxury liner. Sailing from Southampton, England to New York City one hundred years ago this year, the Titanic sunk after hitting an iceberg, killing approx. 1500 passengers.
"Titanic" begins airing in Britain on ITV Sunday, 25 March.
The series will air in the U.S. on ABC beginning April 15th, the anniversary of the sinking.
From ITV's press release:
Titanic is a four part serial created by BAFTA-winning producer Nigel Stafford-Clark (Warriors; The Way We Live Now; Bleak House) and written by Oscar and Emmy winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park; Downton Abbey) to mark the hundredth anniversary of the world's most famous maritime disaster in April 1912. It sets out to tell the story not just of a single ship, but of an entire society – one that was heading towards its own nemesis in the shape of the First World War as carelessly as Titanic towards the iceberg.
All human life is on Titanic as she sets out on her maiden voyage. The upper-class family with their suffragette daughter and their warring servants; the wealthy elite of American society; the Irish lawyer in Second Class with his embittered wife; the young cabin steward and the impetuous Italian waiter who falls for her; the Catholic engineer fleeing Belfast with his wife and family to escape the sectarian conflict; the mysterious stranger in Steerage fleeing who knows what. And then there are the officers and crew. As their stories interweave and we find our first impressions are often undermined by what we learn, there is one thing that we know for certain and they do not. That not all of them will survive.

Vermillion brings home high marks on 2005 Report Card By David Lias The Vermillion Public School District is demonstrating a high rate of accountability as it strives to meet state and federal education standards.
South Dakota�s annual Report Card, released this week by the state Department of Education, shows local students are progressing well, and meeting and often exceeding both state and national performance levels.
In the 2004-2005 school year, the Vermillion School District, like other school systems across the nation, was held accountable in 28 areas.
�We received adequate yearly progress (AYP) in all areas but one,� Superintendent Mark Froke told the Vermillion School Board Monday, �and that�s in the area of middle school special education reading, and that seems to be the common problem area in terms of testing for schools across South Dakota and the nation.�
South Dakota�s annual report card is based largely on the test scores of 64,000 public school students in grades 3-8 and 11, who took the Dakota STEP last spring.
The Dakota STEP is the state�s major assessment tool under No Child Left Behind. The state sets annual goals for the test as a way to measure progress toward the ultimate goal of 100 percent proficiency by 2013-14.
�Last year, we did not achieve adequate yearly progress in middle school math,� Froke said. �We moved out of that. Last year, we didn�t achieve adequate yearly progress at Jolley Elementary because of the subgroup Native American, but this year, we�ve made AYP at Jolley in all areas, so we�re really pleased with that.�
Jolley School will need to maintain those high levels for yet another year to be considered out of the school improvement status.
Froke gained access Monday to detailed data from the state Department of Education. That information was embargoed by Pierre until Wednesday.
�The numbers show solid growth in many areas,� he said. �I was very pleased with that, and I have to give credit to our students and staff for their hard work in achieving solid progress in the Dakota STEP test.�
Froke said as the state releases more detailed data, it will be shared with the school board.
The full 2005 Report Card, including reports for individual schools, is available on the Department of Education�s Web site at www.doe.sd.gov. Click on �Report Card.�
�I view this report as quite positive,� Froke said. �We�ve made strong progress in most of the areas. There has been a real strong effort on the part of our students and staff.�

Williams Leads Texas A&M at K-State
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Texas A&M sophomore Hannah Williams earned the highest score of the day across all four events as the No. 6 Aggies (0-1) dropped their season opener at No. 4 Kansas State (3-1), 17-2.
Williams was the only rider on both sides of the meet to break 78, scoring an 80 in equitation over fences to take the highest mark of the day. The sophomore was one of two Aggies to defeat her opponent on the day, as junior Haley Buchmiller also won her ride in over fences. Williams' score of 80 was her career high in over fences. Sophomore Marlena Parker tied her opponent at 76 in equitation on the flat.
"We made some early-season mistakes today and they cost us the meet," Head Coach Tana McKay said. "Despite the loss, I was able to see how strong our riders have become and how they have continued to improve. Hannah had a great win with the highest score of the day, as did Haley, and I was impressed with our exhibition rides, especially Paige Linne and Jennie Edwards."
The Aggies won three exhibition rides against the Wildcats. Sophomore Jennie Edwards won her ride by nine points in equitation on the flat, and sophomore Kimmy Saul topped her opponent, 68-53, in fences. In reining, junior Paige Linne battled to a 68.5-65.5 exhibition victory.

Yet another game that is bound to be unfairly overlooked on DSiWare? Sadly I think 'yes.' I see oroblram owns this as well - what do you think of it?
Anyone else bought it? It's really addictive, but some of the later levels really have been driving me crazy!
I've just picked up Q-Games' next DSiWare game as well, Starship Patrol. It's a Tower Defense style game, which kind of put me off, but I'm enjoying it so far.

People walk in front of the Regal Cinemas LA Live Stadium 14 in Los Angeles. Movie theater chains are putting pressure on studios to pay more to have their trailers placed in front of the audiences they want.
By BEN FRITZ and RICHARD VERRIER Los Angeles Times
Coming soon to a theater near you: a multimillion-dollar battle over coming attractions.
Theater owners are squeezing extra coin out of film companies by charging them to play the trailers for their upcoming movies.
Traditionally, theater owners were happy to run the advertisements for upcoming movies on the understanding that they drove box-office receipts and concession-stand sales. Studios paid to make the trailers and cinemas screened them. Each movie came with two coming attractions attached, while others ran at the discretion of the theater, often as a result of lobbying by Hollywood marketers.
But now theater owners, realizing the value of having Hollywood's target audience already in the theater, have begun charging movie companies to run their trailers. Although some trailers still run for free, movie distributors complain that they're increasingly being asked to pay to get their trailers played -- or get shut out.
"We've reached the tipping point," said Jeffrey Neuman, chief executive of Verites, a Burbank, Calif., company paid by studios to check theaters to see that trailers are being shown and that marketing materials such as lobby cards and standees are in place. "If you're not one of the ones paying for trailers, you're left struggling for placement."
In one controversial move, the nation's largest cinema chain, Regal Entertainment Group, recently cut the number of trailers that studios can run with their own movies for free from two to one. Some studio executives are privately grumbling about the practice, upset that they are being asked to pay still more to a supposed partner that typically keeps half the box-office receipts.
"It's logical a theater operator has an obligation to market studios' movies, when we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on (making) each one," said one studio executive who asked not to be identified. "But they have gone all the way around to wanting to be paid."
Four of the major studios -- 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. -- reportedly have made annual marketing deals worth several million dollars with theater chains such as Regal and AMC Entertainment. In exchange, the studios are exempt from the one-free-trailer-only rule and get the best possible placement.
Walt Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures don't have such deals, while smaller studios may pay as much as $100,000 to play a trailer for one film.
Some coming attractions still make it on the screen through studio executives lobbying and cajoling contacts at theaters with whom they have long-standing relationships. But such old-fashioned methods that don't involve payments are increasingly rare.
Large theater chains won't publicly acknowledge that they charge for trailers, nor will the studios that pay them.
But within the film and exhibition industries, it's common knowledge, and a growing source of resentment.
"Everybody says, 'No, no, there's no money ever paid to show trailers,' but we know that's not the case for some of the big boys," said Rafe Cohen, president of Galaxy Theatres, a Los Angeles-area chain that operates 115 screens. "For us little guys, we'd love to charge for trailers, but we don't have the leverage."
There are no official stats on how many trailers make it to the big screen thanks to a payment, but the practice has become increasingly common. Verites checked on about 100 trailers in 2012, compared with 30 in 2009, Neuman said.
The dispute marks the latest flare-up between film companies and exhibitors, whose symbiotic relationship has been strained in recent years. Turning trailers into a business, some fear, could add to the tension.
"What makes this business run are trailers," said Chuck Viane, a former president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios. "When the right trailers aren't seen by the public with the right movie, that can hurt the box office."
Although Regal's one-trailer-only rule is new, the free trailer system began to break down in 2001, when Sony paid to advertise its comedy "The Animal" in front of the hit Universal movie "The Mummy Returns." That aberration soon became the norm, with pay-for-play accelerating in the past two years.
As they rose in value, the total number of trailers shown before a movie started going up. Three or four was the norm a decade ago. Regal and AMC theaters now run six or seven.
"The number of trailers has absolutely exploded," said Federico Ponce, owner of High Res Hype, a graphic and design company. "When we started out, we'd work on one or two trailers every four months. Now we're doing three or four trailers at the same time."
The competition is fierce, and prices high, to run a trailer in front of popular movies such as "The Hobbit." Theater chains typically receive $25,000 to $100,000 to run a spot before a popular film at half their theaters, saving an equal amount of time at the other half of for another paid trailer.
Theater owners charge more for the final trailer before a movie starts because, Neuman said, "There's a big difference between how many people see the first trailer and the last."Tweet

For you that do not know actually what a SATA Backplane let me give you a brief understanding. It's a small box that usually fit into an optical drive bay or two there are even some 3.5" models that allows the usage of multiple hard drives. The models fitted for the 5.25" bay can usually support both 2.5" and 3.5" drives while the smaller unit can only support multiple 2.5" drives. And if you get a good one you will even get Raid support.
Not too long ago we did a write-up on the Vantec MX400-SR Raid enclosure which we gave the 'Recommended' for its support for two drives and a couple different forms of Raid. But it only supported USB 2.0 which is no longer the speed demon we need when it comes to data transfer. So, Vantec has graced us with the newest model of the device and has labeled it the 400MX-S3R. the newer version gives us the USB 3.0 speed we want and plus eSATA for versatility.
Our friends at Vantec have sent to us over our first multi-drive 2.5" rack in the form of the MRK-425ST-BK or the F4 Quad Bay rack. The rack installed in a single 5.25" optical drive bay and can house a total of four 2.5" SATA drives allowing you to get rid the interior HDD cages and allow for better airflow in many cases.
Icy Dock is a leader when it comes to making anything that has to do with hard drive mounting and HDD enclosures. The few products we have seen from them have been of the best quality and pretty simple when it came time to actually use them. We don't believe these new products will be any different.
And with my laptop being my main PC, I seldom even use my optical drive for anything. so, the people at Silverstone has given people like us another use for that space the optical drive take without actually losing the drive. The TS06 is an external enclosure for your internal optical drive and also provide you the opportunity to use the space the drive once took up for addition storage space. A little confused? Read on and I will elaborate for you.
External hard drive enclosures are a dime-a-dozen in this day and age, with more and more of them hitting the market. Many of them are single drive units that are good for a quick way to store or access your data externally, but this type of enclosure is not fitted for all of us. With the size of today's hard drives (3TB at time of writing), losing even one could be a devastating ordeal. This is when our next product for evaluation comes in. The SilverStone DS321 enclosure can house two 3.5" SATA drives, provides you with the option to run them in RAID, topping it all off by connecting through the ultra-fast USB3 bus. This look like something you've been waiting for? Read along as we dig into it.

Marble Run by Quadrilla
Basic set ($59.95) at Playfair Toys. There's also a smaller "Try Me" starter set ($44.95).
5 Comments
oooooo I want one for me! The kids are too small for marbles anyhow ;)
val299, funny you say that! My folks have one of these for my son, who is interested in this but not quite old enough, but last time we were visiting them, after he went to sleep, my husband and I played for about an hour! We had a blast - much more fun that if my son was hanging around!
Actually, my two-year-old (almost 2.5) can play with this Quadrilla by putting marbles in the top block (with supervision -- don't leave marbles out for little ones). Once you learn how to build a tower, successive builds become easier and easier, and you need that because these towers are so easy to knock down.
I bought the basic set back in July for Christmas for my kids. They are going to love it! I also ended up buying a few individual pieces. I wish I had gotten one of the bigger sets, but I suppose we can always add on later.
I got the Haba marble run for my 5-year-old for Christmas this year, after he has been desperately wanting this for, oh, his entire life, I think. Any time we go into a toy store with a marble run he is captivated for an hour, and if we get a toy catalog that has one, I always find it carefully circled later on. I did have some worries about choking hazards (I have a 3-year-old and a 6-month-old also), but he wants it so much, I felt like this was the year to get it. I'm pretty excited about it too, myself.
I decided on the Haba one after asking around at some toy stores, and they said the Quadrilla one is more of a pain to put together and easier for kids to mistakenly knock over.

on Monday upgraded a major power pole configuration that delivers electricity to the entire north end of town.
"It's one of the benefits of having our own crew here in town," said Healdsburg electric lineman Jason Hageman. "We get to focus on maintenance."
Hageman and about a half-dozen other crew members took several hours to replace a 28-year-old "recloser" -- a type of circuit breaker -- at the top of the power pole on University Street just north of Powell Avenue.
Keeping up with new equipment helps avoid power outages, Hageman said.
He noted that the crew did not turn the power off to customers Monday and instead did the work while the lines were active or "hot."
"Generally we don't turn the power off," Hageman said, noting that the department tries to avoid inconveniencing customers. "Most of our work is done while the lines are electrified."
Having an in-house crew is also beneficial for response times if outages do occur, he said.
The power pole on University Street delivers electricity to all Healdsburg customers from Powell Avenue north to the city line.

"We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him," the country star said, drawing cheers from the audience, according to the Des Moines Metromix.
Never one for subtlety -- or, you know, fact-checking -- Hank Jr. has been outspoken about his distaste for President Obama. Last year, he made national headlines when his comments on a FOX News broadcast cost him his job with "Monday Night Football."
Bocephus has also badmouthed President Obama on record, and on "Take Back Out Country," a tune from his recent Old School, New Rules album, he addresses the prez directly, telling him, "pack your bags, head to Chicago, take your teleprompter with you so you'll know where to go."
Asked to weigh in on Hank's tirade, Brad Anderson, an Obama campaign rep in Iowa, seemingly didn't know where to begin.
"That type of absurd nonsense doesn't really deserve a response," he said.

How Mike first got introduced to fly fishing: My Dad and I would grouse hunt in the mountains and one spring we were looking at South Mountain Game Lands for potential hunting locations. We discovered a small creek that had trout and would open on the first Saturday of April ( 1960 ). We returned to fish this creek. My Dad was fly fishing with the lake fly rod and I was using light spinning. I caught a nice brown and a few rainbows; my Dad did move a fish or two. I did manage to get my Inch Minnow treble hook embedded deep into my thumb while holding the brown up for inspection. The Game Lands Warden removed the hook and told me not to feel bad; he had a man with a large plug in his ear lobe. Next trip my Dad and his friend (the school principal, Dr. Nelson) fly fished together; I had the lake fly rod but used my spinning gear to make sure I caught a fish. At lunch we met and shared our morning experiences. Nelson was a first class fly fisherman; he and my Dad have good results while I had mixed results (some sun perch and a few bows). Nelson offered to take me after lunch. I declined since I knew my Dad wanted more instructions and I was too young to know that fishing with the school Principal would not ruin my school status. I went down stream where the creek was some wider and proceeded to fly cast to some flashing suckers. Our meeting in the afternoon was the same for Nelson and Pop; I had just a shorter leader and fewer flies. This taught me two things; fish broken water and get instruction from anyone willing to share. I still have one of Nelson's hand tied flies, the one that took my first fly fishing trout a trip or two later to South Mountain Game Lands now a NC State Park.

Straddling the border between Wyoming and Colorado, Two Chicks Paintball's unpredictable terrain throws obstacles and tactical diversions at players. Recreational soldiers carrying the field's rented Tippmann 98s can maneuver through the trees and hide in forested fields as they strategize attacks and retreats. They can take cover behind looming boulders, which protect from opponents' quick spray of paint and give shooters a chance to catch their breath or recite their favorite inspirational movie monologue to their team before advancing. At the range's speed-ball field, players can engage in short stints of fast-paced warfare before retreating to the picnic area to refuel their stomachs. For those who arrive unequipped, all the accouterments are available for rent, including paintball guns, safety gear, supplies, and camouflage jumpsuits.
Cheyenne Frontier Days revives the rough-and-tumble pastimes of the Old West with a summer exhibition complete with outdoor rodeo, interactive reenactments, and a historical museum. Sidle up to the rodeo, where you can ogle from C-stand seats as wranglers defy gravity while maintaining their balance on bucking broncos and hovering horseshoes. From 12:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, spectators can catch 10 rodeo events and three track acts that feature more than 40 bulls, 70 broncos, and a trio of trick riders. Daring bull jockeys will attempt to ride a 2,000-pound bull for at least eight seconds, with the good riders successfully holding on and the great riders composing a rhyming haiku to recite on dismount.
It's quite possible that many of the parents who bring their kids to RollerLand Skate Center spent their own childhoods at the rink. The Trevena family has run RollerLand for more than 30 years, long before America elected its first roller-skating president. In that time, the entertainment center has hosted countless parties, charity fundraisers, and regular skate sessions.
Today, RollerLand carries its past into the present. DJs play Top 40 hits as skaters roll across the 12,000 sq. ft. skating floor during open skates or Teen Nights on Fridays. Away from the rink, guests can find staple amenities, such as a concession stand that serves nachos and corndogs, arcade games that spew out redemption tickets, and colorful tubes that snake throughout a three-story play structure. One thing stands out, however¬—a large vault door that looks like something out of a heist movie. Inside waits the Laser Maze, an ever-changing game that challenges its participants to stretch and bend around bright green beams of light.
Collindale Golf Academy's PGA Director of Instruction Vince Buelk calls upon 18 years of experience to shore up the pin-hunting panache of golfers of all abilities. The passionate pedagogue develops the academy's club-flailing curriculum and puts it into practice at its stately facilities, which include a full-length driving range, an oversize putting green, and a practice bunker ideal for wedging balls out of sunken lies and replacing them with incriminating scorecards. The academy's thriving junior program strives to develop an affinity for the game at a young age, and club-fitting services pair each unique swing with its crooked-stick soul mates. Though the academy's kempt lawns, mountainside vistas, and lush pines affect a sense of old-time rusticity, its instructors utilize the latest in technological teaching aides, including V1 video-swing-analysis software and pitching wedges that double as prosthetic hooks for grabbing cookies on the high shelves.
The nine holes of Mountain Vista Golf Course present a charming, 3,500-yard challenge set against a dramatic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. Box Elder Creek weaves through the middle of the course and into play, and mature pine trees frame spacious fairways. Golfers are immediately thrown into risk-reward scenarios on the first and sixth holes, two lengthy par 5s that extend to 536 yards and 579 yards from the back tees and challenge shots with two large ponds. At Bentley's, the grill located just off the course, two covered patios welcome those looking to grab a bite to eat as they transition from a round of golf to a round of beer or a round of boxing against a disgruntled caddie.
Course at a Glance:
The Urban Assault Ride challenges cyclists to speed from obstacle course to obstacle course across their city during eco-friendly scavenger hunts that benefit local charities. Teams draft a road map to try to thwart the competition and be the first to complete the race, pausing at a series of checkpoints, where they must surmount such active roadblocks as slip 'n' slides, bike jousting, and reciting the Iliad in Pig Latin. The first team to conquer each challenge and cross the finish line is declared the victor, but all participants celebrate their efforts at a lively after-party stocked with snacks, beer, nonalcoholic drinks, and prizes.

Today, the 3 Sisters repertoire includes gourmet cupcakes, brownies, and decadent truffles.

Natural light streams into the coffee shop as drink orders are taken through a drive-thru window for tired mine carts on the go.

My sister and I took advantage of our day off and did a little shopping. I picked up a few new articles of clothing and she bought a couple things she needed as well. It wasn't really nice enough to go to the beach so we had to find something else to pass the time. We split a Balance bar while we were at the mall and then stopped at the grocery store on our way home and bought the stuff to make sandwiches for lunch. We decided on tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil sandwiches for lunch and they were very tasty! I am full now and figure I'll be good until dinner. The weekend is here...guess mine started a little early but I am happy to relax a little before heading back to work Sunday afternoon. Take care!

Learn About UsA Core Knowledge Education
The idea behind Core Knowledge is simple and powerful: knowledge builds on knowledge. The more you know, the more you are able to learn. This insight, well-established by cognitive science, has profound implications for teaching and learning. Nearly all of our most important goals for education–greater reading comprehension, the ability to think critically and solve problems, even higher test scores–are a function of the depth and breadth of our knowledge.
By outlining the precise content that every child should learn in language arts and literature, history and geography, mathematics, science, music, and the visual arts, the Core Knowledge curriculum represents a first-of-its kind effort to identify the foundational knowledge every child needs to reach these goals–and to teach it, grade-by-grade, year-by-year, in a coherent, age-appropriate sequence.
Whether you are a parent, teacher, school administrator, or someone who cares about education, we invite you to learn more about the Core Knowledge Sequence, our schools, and our philosophy. We are dedicated to the idea that every child deserves a rigorous, lively, and coherent education.

Found November 07, 2012 on AllWrestlingNews.com:
PLAYERS: Roddy Piper, Linda McMahon
Linda McMahon, former president and CEO of WWE, failed in her bid for a Senate seat in Connecticut, losing to Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy on Tuesday. This follows her 2010 loss to Richard Blumenthal in the race for the state's other seat in the Senate. The total cost of losing two elections has ranged from $90 to $97 million, according to estimates. McMahon spent $50 million of her personal fortune in her failed 2010 campaign, and is believed to have spent $40 to $47 million the second time around. Between both campaigns, McMahon has now spent a cumulative total of over $90 million in pursuit of federal office. That is more than any other American in history. WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who worked under the employ of McMahon, criticized her exorbitant spending on two failed Senate campaigns in a series of Twitter messages Wednesday. After asking his followers whether McMahon won her race, he wrote, "Can spend 90 million on a losing election but won't give the people that...

In the far future, mankind has scattered to many worlds and divided into many races . . . and some are very alien, despite their Human ancestry. GURPS Traveller: Humaniti describes 16 Human-descended races from the far reaches of the Imperium and beyond, including the technologically advanced Darrians (with their sun-smashing Star Trigger), the carnivorous Dynchia, the dour warrior Azhanti, and the aggressive Itharans. Compiled by Loren Wiseman, this book is a valuable resource for any Traveller campaign.

Ok, I will re-phrase my question as I know what it sounds like. "RTFM!"
In the Oracle Database Upgrade manual, it seems like they say to Upgrade the database first and then the grid infrastructure (ASM). Is this correct?
JrOraDBA wrote:That is correct
I also see the following in
•To upgrade existing 188.8.131.52 Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations to Oracle Grid Infrastructure to any later version (126.96.36.199 or 184.108.40.206), you must patch the release 184.108.40.206 Oracle Grid Infrastructure home (22.214.171.124.0) with the 9706490 patch.
So I guess I should apply the patch too?

The town of Robert Lee, desperate for a continued source of drinking water as its sole supply, E.V. Spence Reservoir, is nearly dry, has received approval from the Texas Water Development Board for $2.75 million in financial assistance, including a $1.975 million forgivable loan.
The money will allow the town to build a 12-mile pipeline to Bronte, which has promised to provide Robert Lee's 1,049 residents with water from its groundwater supplies.
"We're very pleased, to put it mildly," said Robert Lee Mayor John Jacobs. "It's just been a real, long drawn out affair but all the agencies we've dealt with have streamlined everything as much as they could and we compressed about a normal two year procedure into less than a year, so I think everybody is to be commended on getting it worked through. We owe all of them a big debt of gratitude, for sure."

Russia Bans Use and Import of Monsanto's GMO Corn Following Study
Following the groundbreaking French study that graphically linked the lifetime consumption of Monsanto's GMO corn in rats to massive tumors and direct organ failure, Russia's premiere consumers rights organization has suspended both the importation and use of Monsanto's GMO corn within the nation's borders.
The move may soon be echoed by other nations, who may soon be urged by France to ban Monsanto's GMOs due to serious health concerns. France, who also recently upheld a key ban on growing GMOs, has been instrumental in alerting the world to the dangers of GMOs and Monsanto's overall corruption. In the nation's latest announcement, it was revealed that France's Agriculture Minister was launching an investigation into the GMO study, ultimately calling for European authorities to ban Monsanto's GMOs in order to protect citizens in the event that the study was found to be sound.
It seems that France has become somewhat of a consumer health watchdog in more than just one area, simultaneously tackling the issue of pesticide contamination as well. It was even announced that the French government was seeking to ban crop dusters in all areas possible, aiming to reduce the amount of obesity-linked pesticides within the food supply.
Monsanto Still Clinging to Old GMO Mantra
Meanwhile, Monsanto is continuing to stick to its tired statements regarding the 'safety' of its GMO crops and Roundup herbicide. Instead of discussing not only the French study finding that the company's GMOs led to horrendous tumors that led to rats literally dragging them along the ground as they walked, they claim that the information 'does not warrant' any concern at all from European officials. Just as Monsanto (and the US government) ignored evidence linking Roundup to DNA damage and infertility, it appears they intend to do it once more and hope that it all goes away.
Unfortunately for Monsanto, it's not going away this time.
With Russia now acting to secure food safety, many other nations will surely follow. While the United States may continue to ignore the issues surrounding GMOs and Monsanto's blatant disregard for human health (they were caught running 'slave-like' working rings, after all), many foreign nations will not. Countries like Poland, Peru, and Hungary have already taken action in banning or removing Monsanto's GMO crops. And even in the United States grassroots movements have spawned bills like Proposition 37 – the monumental bill in California that seeks to label GMOs.

HOW about growing unmodified corn from mexico for our animal feed it grows with less water and that means less weeds so less weed killer. But better still every city should have their own chicken raising facilities and garden crops
so we can decide what we eat as most dont trust the agribusiness any more.
P.S. my penis fell off yesterday due to gmo corn and the inside of my ears itch
both symptoms of gmo corn as they have more allergens in it thats why even dogs itch when they eat it. Alright my penis is still there I just wanted to make it sound more dramatic.
Apparently Russia has moved ahead of The United States in the race for common sense government policies.

America--the bread basket for the world? Not anymore. The world will vote with their feet and alternative agricultural markets will boom in South America, Africa, and elsewhere. Washington, Monsanto, and the other chemical companies will destroy whats left of our economy.

Three cheers for Russia! Yes, ol' Vladimir is becoming a tyrant, but at least his government isn't going to be intimidated by American big business! And the move will definitely give support to France's initiative at the international level.
I wonder which are the most likely countries to follow the initiative? For the ones that resist, it would be interesting to see what links they have to Monsanto or its friends at the political level...exposés would be good..any journalists reading here who can follow up?
LMAO--Monsanto's lies cutting off their nose to spite their ugly faces. Anyone who thinks Monsanto is a truth telling corporation should do a little research on their past truth worthiness: namely, PCBs and how safe they were for use in the environment and around humans.
I use to work for a major corporation, and Oil Company, and let me tell you what our policy was on environment or anything else that cut into profits: If you can profit by lying, breaking the law, or deception--do it!
For example, there are fines put in place for pollution violations. But if you can make more money breaking the law and paying the fines, well, you break the law and pay the fines. Simple math.
September 27, 2012 2:03pm
Can anyone clear this up for me? I live in France and while I keep reading that France has banned growing GMO crops, I can't find anything that says specifically that they don't allow importation of food containing GMOs. Even the farmers here don't seem to know...
I am afraid to buy chicken because I fear they are fed corn from the US.
September 27, 2012 7:06pm
Unless you are well under 20, it is highly likely that you have been eating GMO's for almost all your life. The only question is at what level has the food you have been eating been modified. All crops for the past 60 years have been genetically modified. The difference is the painstaking natural process, or the genetic modification by a virus being injected into the plant.
And please don't think that Organic food is safe. BT is approved for use in certified organic food and that is a genetic modification. Just eat a variety food in moderation. Chemicals are a fact of life and now so is GMO food.
September 27, 2012 2:47pm
It seems that certain specific named varieties are indeed allowed to be imported. This has lots of information:
ah - parâit que ce lien ne marche pas sous cette forme - - faites la recherche "règles sur l'importation du mais ogm" sur google.fr.
September 27, 2012 1:52pm
If we only sold to Russia, the arab countries and China I would say that we wereperforming germ warfare, but killing off our own people is a little extreme form of population control. Some of the studies are frightening but so is climate change, global warming and the petroleum dominance. As we close our schools and make mild protest illegal, we are creating the type of population that big business needs to thrive. It seems interlinked somehow.
September 27, 2012 1:30pm
Why are you writing about a study that has been totally debunked by scientists worldwide and treating it as if it has some credibility?
September 27, 2012 7:10pm
Agreed that the procedures and specimens in this experiment are suspect and highly questionable. But the results might still be valid. This study needs to be run in another type of lab rat to see if the results are the same. Now keep in mind the vast size difference between a lab rat and a human. In chemistry, concentration matters.
September 27, 2012 2:35pm
Would like to see some proof of your statement about "totally debunked by scientists worldwide." Of course there are some scientists throughout the world who either (a) are in the pocket of GMO firms like Monsanto, or (b) really believe that GM is the way to go and resist any contrary evidence. But Europe is setting up an INDEPENDENT commission to verify the study - no out-of-hand dismissal there - and in the comments I've seen, which are mostly on the statistical methods of the study, the ones who seemed to know most about the subject said the study was good.
You wouldn't work for Monsanto or somewhere in their distribution chain, would you?
September 27, 2012 11:25am
As long as the Chinese and Indians (oops, forget about the Indians) don't object, Monsanto will still have a huge market. After all, we buy adulterated ingredients from China, so why should they reject our poisons?
September 27, 2012 4:53pm
@Sunflowerbio -- We should reject Monsanto's poison as well as the garbage that comes from China. However, Americans eat anything, as long as it has mouthfeel. Look around you and you'll have proof of what eating garbage does to people -- and how it rots their brain!
You are what you eat!

Shame on the FDA and on our self-styled "leaders" for allowing this pernicious assault on the health of ordinary Americans to occur!
September 27, 2012 4:45pm
Since the FDA does not work for the consumer why not close the agency?
September 27, 2012 11:06am
From other articles I've read lately, it is my understanding that Monsanto has placed people in high positions within the FDA. I doubt anyone (that isn't on the payroll) would knowingly go along with the damage that this evil Company is doing to our entire planet. Kudos to Russia! I hope the rest of the world (including the United States) follows their lead.
September 27, 2012 4:56pm
@57GIRL -- can you list the names of these people (traitors) currently working in the FDA? Or at least cite the article(s)?
September 27, 2012 2:01pm
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the head of the EPA a former vice president of Monsanto?
September 27, 2012 6:11pm
You're thinking of Anne Veneman, who was on board of Monsanto company Calgene, then not FDA - but US Secretary of Agriculture!
There's Michael Taylor, ex Monsanto VP and lobbyist, deputy commissioner for foods.
Margaret Miller, Monsanto researcher, wrote report on GM safety, was hired by FDA where her first job was to approve her own report.
Susan Sechen assisted Miller.

Americans should be up in arms over this! To think that gentically modifying food to creat its own pesticide and that that "consumable" pesticide is going to OK for human consumption is criminal! No wonder the bees are struggling in this "Brave New World!" We should at the very least demand that GMO food is labeled as such. Let Americans decide what foods to poison and not to poison their children with - not Monsanto!
September 27, 2012 4:47pm
Eat Organic and demand that from your government that all Monsanto GMO poisoned food be labeled as such.
Monsanto: we don't want your poison!
September 27, 2012 10:32am
Come on Monsanto, the Federal Government, and the FDA!! You're certainly not going to be bullied and pushed around by the puny likes of Russia, France and Europe..., now are you! That doesn't seem like the Monsanto we here in the US, have come to know and cherish. Why should those countries not have to be poisoned by your carcinagenic chemicals like we are here? Step up your game and subject them to your poisonous "medicine/food!"
