Room Description
The Howe Conference Room, located on the fifth floor of the Briscoe Library, provides group meeting space for approximately 20 persons. The room may be reserved for special university functions by UT Health faculty and administrative staff. Since this room houses more than 1500 rare books, special security and safety regulations in addition to general library policies must be observed at all times. Also, please note that this room is kept at a cooler temperature for preservation of the books. Bringing a sweater or jacket is recommended.
Reserving the Room
Room reservations can be made by following the I need to . . . Reserve a Room link. Under Other Library Room Reservations click on the Room Request Form button. Fill out the online information form and submit. A confirmation email will be sent.
The conference room is available for set-up and can be used 24/7/365.
Room Use Considerations
Furniture in the conference room may be rearranged. All tables must be unplugged before they are moved and they must be returned to their original configuration and plugged in at the conclusion of the meeting. Departments will be called to return room back to its original setting if this has not been done before 5:00 p.m. Extra furniture may not be stored in the fire exit stairwell for safety reasons.
Because the conference room is located on a fire exit route, it cannot be locked; therefore equipment or valuables should not be left unattended. Entrances and exits must not be blocked with tables, chairs, extension cords, etc.
Library staff may occasionally need to retrieve books from the conference room while a meeting is in progress. Although staff will try to hold requests for books until after meetings are concluded, they will enter if necessary.
Restrooms are located next to the main elevators on each floor. The library's staff room telephone may not be used and staff are not responsible for taking messages. Mobile telephones may be used only in the hall near public restrooms.
Administrative Assistants needed for on-call services during use of the conference room may use furniture by the elevators on the 5th floor. Lounge seating is also available in the public area outside the conference room entrance.
Groups using the conference room are responsible for making any food and/or refreshment arrangements prior to the meetings. If University Catering Services are used to cater the event, the main library entrance may be used: however, serving carts must be covered and the service elevator should be used. Other caterers should use the service entrance on the library's south side.
The staff room and staff kitchen adjacent to the conference room may not be used by groups using the conference room unless special permission has been obtained from the library Administration Office, ext. 7-2408.
Because a portion of the library's rare book collection is housed in the Howe Conference Room, it is extremely important that clean-up be conducted immediately following any meeting where food or drink is served, to mitigate pest infestation. If appropriate clean-up is not completed in a timely manner, the department or group reserving the room will lose privileges to reserve the Howe Conference Room in the future.
Groups using the conference room are responsible for making prior arrangements with Housekeeping to provide additional trash receptacles when necessary and remove trash, dishes, leftover food, etc., immediately after the conclusion of the meeting. If the meeting concludes at a time when Housekeeping is not available for clean-up, then it is the responsibility of the department making the reservation to assure that clean-up is completed. Special attention to clean-up should be made in the evening and during the weekend when Housekeeping is typically not available. Table cloths and/or place mats should be used to protect furniture. Both the credenza and the wooden tables in the room could be damaged if hot items are placed on their surfaces. Housekeeping should be notified immediately of any spills so that they can shampoo the carpet to prevent stains.
Audio-visual Equipment and Computer Requests
The conference room is set up with a laptop for your convenience. If other equipment (projectors, whiteboards, flipcharts, etc.) are needed, prior arrangements should be made with the AV Services Department at 210-567-2214. Groups requiring projectionist services should make arrangements with Classroom Services, ext. 7-2210. Groups may also supply their own laptop which can be connected to the video projector located in the conference room.
Library staff do not provide equipment setup or support services. Problems with computers or equipment should be reported to 210-567-7777.
Persons using the conference room should note that it is located in a heavily used study area. Students have asked that persons entering and leaving the conference room be considerate and keep conversations outside the conference room to a minimum.
Any exception to these guidelines can be made only by the Senior Director of Libraries.

Jay "Ding" Darlington was often referred to as "the best friend a duck ever had." Although known during his lifetime as a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist for the Des Moines Register—producing more than 15,000 cartoons over fifty years—Darling's most lasting contribution is as a pioneering and energetic conservationist.
"There is no single figure who did as much to protect wildlife in the 1930s as Ding Darling," says Mark Madison, historian for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "During his years as head of the Biological Survey, he transformed the National Wildlife Refuge System, creating a new funding base, getting thousands of Civilian Conservation Corps boys to work on the refuges, creating a whole series of new refuges along the nation's migratory flyways."
A documentary film supported by Humanities Iowa, America's Darling: The Story of Jay N. "Ding" Darling, produced by Samuel Koltinsky, chronicles Darling's path from an Iowa farm boy to two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper cartoonist to the "father " of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The film is narrated by Darling's great-great grandson, Chris Steffen, and will be screened as part of the Beloit International Film Festival, Feb. 14–17.
Darling was born in Norwood, Michigan, in 1876, but spent most of his early years in Sioux City, a Missouri River town offering access to the unspoiled prairies of Nebraska and South Dakota, where he hunted, fished, and learned to appreciate the untrammeled wilderness. Darling later said, "Those were the days when the golden plover came in great flocks and moved across South Dakota. From early spring until the prairie chicken sought cover in the fall . . . my mind has been filled with pictures which have never been erased." Often, Darling brought along a sketchbook to capture the beauty of his surroundings.
Intent on becoming a doctor, Darling studied pre-medicine at Beloit College in Wisconsin. He was temporarily suspended for low grades and for sketching the college's president and all-male faculty in tutus, dancing in a chorus line. It was then that he became known as "Ding," using a contraction of his last name as a pseudonym to escape detection.
After graduating college in 1900, Darling became a cub reporter for the Sioux City Journal to earn money for medical school. Assigned to photograph a prominent courtroom attorney, Darling was chased by the angry lawyer who was poised to attack Darling with his cane. Not getting the photograph, and not wanting to fail at his first assignment, Darling retreated to his sketchpad and drew a picture of the lawyer with his menacing cane. The cartoon was printed and became widely popular. And so began Darling's career as an illustrator and editorial cartoonist.
In 1913, Darling was hired by the Des Moines Register and Leader at double his Journal salary. He began peppering his cartoons with conservation issues. Madison says, "The issues he was concerned about—endangered species, human destruction of wildlife, protecting marshes, prairies, wetlands—all these areas that are very vulnerable in the Midwest. His images really convey the conservation message." Darling became more involved in conservation movements, such as the State of Iowa Fish and Game Commission.
By 1934, waterfowl numbers had reached their lowest levels in North America. The Dust Bowl dried up many of the prairie potholes where ducks bred and fed. President Franklin Roosevelt formed a special "Duck Committee," which included Darling, to address the issue. Roosevelt then hired Darling to take over the U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey, the forerunner to today 's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. During his short tenure, just twenty months, Darling reorganized the agency, wheedled $6 million out of Congress to fund forty additional wildlife refuges, and launched the Federal Duck Stamp Program for which he sketched the first image. "When Darling drew the first Duck Stamp in 1934, it raised $600,000 to acquire critical wetland habitats," says Madison. "Since then, over $750 million has been raised and more than six million acres of wetlands have been purchased for wildlife."
After resigning from the agency, he returned to the Des Moines Register, where he won a second Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons (his first was in 1924), and began spending winters on Captiva Island, Florida, where his days were filled with draw- ing and bird-watching. In 1945, he lobbied President Truman to create the Sanibel National Wildlife Refuge. "The refuge consists of more than 6,400 acres of mangrove forest, submerged seagrass beds, cordgrass marshes, and West Indian hardwood ham- mocks," says Madison. In 1967, the refuge was renamed the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

I've done some research and it looks like there are tens of books for TORG (the other roleplaying game). One of them is the core book but I can't pin it down on any shopping site.
When I do, is this the only book needed to play? I get the feeling there is more to this game than one core book.

2xist Response: Unfortunately when it comes to enhanced pouches, it's not a perfected science since men come in all shapes and sizes. The idea of the front pouch however is to put the entire package in the pouch, to help create a lifting effect. But it's just an effect, not a true lifter that will push and pull. We created this brief to be more comfort and support instead of the uncomfortable lifters out there.The back binding is also intended to help lift the back end."

Happy Fourth of July to all of our friends celebrating Independence Day. We might not think of this as a particularly "maker holiday" (besides the obvious excuse to indulge in rampant pyromania), but the independence that we celebrate (and that people across the world should, in general, celebrate) is the freedom to make the world that you want. That's the independence that we as Americans won on July 4th, 1776 and that we celebrate today. It's the freedom to make America (and ReMake America), it's the freedom to hack, mod, beautiful, engineer, and build every aspect of your life, to make it better for yourself, your family, your community, and our world.
So, now that you've secured that freedom, what are you going to build with it? As the saying goes: It's a high-level problem to have.
Happy 4th from all of the staff at MAKE.

SEOUL - A South Korean military inquiry into a drone found on a border island has concluded that North Korea flew the unmanned aircraft to conduct reconnaissance missions, a South Korean media report said on Wednesday.
The discovery of the surveillance aircraft came less than an hour after a three-hour artillery barrage between South and North Korea in each side's territorial waters near a disputed maritime border on Monday.
South Korea's defence ministry declined to comment on the report as its probe was under way.
North Korea fired more than 100 artillery rounds into South Korean waters as part of a drill on Monday, prompting the South to fire back. The exercise appeared to be more sabre-rattling by Pyongyang rather than the start of a military standoff.
Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday that the drone's flight route appeared to be from the North, citing unidentified South Korean government officials.
South Korean military officials said they were also investigating a similar drone found in a border city late last month.
A defence ministry official told a briefing that North Korean-style writing was inscribed on the battery of that drone and its flight route was set up to return north. But it had not yet concluded that the drone was sent by North Korea as investigations proceeded.
Images of Monday's crashed drone showed the wreckage of a small, light-blue aircraft bearing similar paintwork and markings to North Korean drones displayed in a Pyongyang parade last year.
Those drones were larger aircraft modified to crash into pre-determined targets, but are not believed to be capable of air strikes or long-range surveillance flights.
North Korea's state media said last year its leader Kim Jong Un had supervised a drill of "super-precision" drone attacks on a simulated South Korean target.
Experts said the crashed drone was an old, poorly-designed model. Although the North has one of the world's largest standing armies, much of its equipment consists of antiquated Soviet-era designs.
"It is like a toy. But for surveillance purposes, it doesn't have to be a high-tech, top-notch military product like Predators or Global Hawk drones," said Kim Hyoung-joong, a cyber defence professor at Korea University in Seoul.
"This type of toy-like equipment can find a blind spot."

Police say weapon seized at Shelton home is a banned assault rifle
SHELTON -- A local man has been arrested for possessing what police say is a banned assault rifle in his home.
Michael Soda, 58, is charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of illegal possesion of an assault weapon.
Soda turned himself in at police headquarters Thursday after learning a warrant for his arrest had been issued, police said.
The arrest was based on an investigation into a Jan. 11 domestic dispute at Soda's home on Shelton Road. Police said due to threats made, they entered the house that night and seized all of Soda's weapons.
After inspecting the weapons seized, police determined that one of the rifles was a banned assault rifle. The rifle was a Norinco brand AK-47 in 7.62 x 39 mm assault rifle made in China, which had several features added to make it a banned weapon, according to a police statement.
Soda posted a court set $5,000 bond. He will be arraigned Friday in Derby Superior Court.

Nebraska law aims to ensure cyclist, driver safety
Measure restricts distance when passing bicyclists
A new law set to take effect in Nebraska could impact your daily commute.
The measure passed by the Nebraska legislature would impose a stiff penalty for drivers who pass cyclists too closely.
Fines could total hundreds of dollars when the law takes effect later this year.
More and more cyclists are sharing streets that are still the same size. While many people share pretty well, congestion can create challenges.
"There's some people, you know, they don't want you on the road," said cyclist Matt Hartfield.
"They figure since they're bicyclists, that they have any kind of rights or means of being able to do whatever they want to do," said driver Tim Bressker.
Julie Harris, who commutes by bike, praises the new law and promotes bicycling with the group Activate Omaha.
"We're just encouraging people to get out and try it," Harris said.
Drivers who don't leave three feet of space when passing cyclists on the road could face a $250 fine.
"It is possible a motorist may have to wait to go around a cyclist, and that's OK if you have to wait five seconds for another car to pass on the other way," Harris said.
Harris is quick to pull out a yardstick to show just how much three feet is. It's a good reminder for some drivers who say it's tough to judge.
"When they were riding side by side, it made it even harder for me to decide. 'Is it OK for me to pass?' And I definitely wanted to keep their safety in mind," said driver Colleen Bozarth.
Harris admits that cyclists must ride responsibly, but they also have a right to share the road.
The new law is expected to take effect beginning in August.

Prospect Russell thrilled to be in big league camp
PHOENIX -- If Addison Russell felt like he was dreaming on his first day in big league camp Sunday, he surely woke up when a pitch drilled his left knee during batting practice.
"It's a little stiff right now," Russell said, "but I don't even care. This is such a great experience."
Russell, Oakland's top prospect who was taken 11th overall in the first round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, is the youngest player at any big league camp this year, having turned 19 just 25 days ago. But the shortstop doesn't look or act his age.
"He went through some affiliates last year and did very well for a young kid," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "If we didn't think he could handle big league camp he wouldn't be here. The ball jumps off his bat, he's got a live arm, got a live body, all the things that we heard."
Melvin isn't sure how many at-bats Russell will get this spring, but he wants to "make sure I find him some situations where he can succeed."
Russell, the first high school position player who the A's have used their top pick on in 16 years, enjoyed tremendous success in his first taste of pro ball, compiling a .369 average and a 1.027 OPS between three levels in 2012. The Pace, Fla., native also ran the bases well, stealing 16 bases in 18 chances, and proved equally impressive on defense.
"I just did my best at every level to help those teams win, and it worked out for me," said Russell.
The youngster acknowledged how welcoming everyone in the clubhouse has been since his arrival Sunday morning and shared a few goals he hopes to achieve before departing.
"Just pick up on the good habits and see what their daily routine is, soak all that in and learn as much as I can in a short amount of time," he said.

U.S. appeals court strikes down state's concealed-carry ban
By Ray Long
Tribune reporter
11:52 AM CST, December 11, 2012
The state of Illinois would have to allow ordinary citizens to carry weapons under a federal appeals court ruling issued today, but the judges also gave lawmakers 180 days to put their own version of the law in place.
In a 2-1 decision that is a major victory for the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said the state's ban on carrying a weapon in public is unconstitutional.
"We are disinclined to engage in another round of historical analysis to determine whether eighteenth-century America understood the Second Amendment to include a right to bear guns outside the home. The Supreme Court has decided that the amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside," the judges ruled.
"The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense. Illinois had to provide us with more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety. It has failed to meet this burden.
"The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Second Amendment compelled the appeals court to rule the ban unconstitutional, the judges said. But the court gave 180 days to "allow the Illinois legislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion, on the carrying of guns in public."
Illinois is the only state in the nation not to have some form of conceal carry after Wisconsin recently approved law.
"The (Illinois) legislature, in the new session, will be forced to take up a statewide carry law," said NRA lobbyist Todd Vandermyde.
The lobbyist said prior attempts to reach a middle ground with opponents will no longer be necessary because "those compromises are going out the window."
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office is reading the just-issued opinion and is unable at this point to comment about the prospects of filing an appeal, a spokeswoman said.

Make Way For Change!
This is the first year that my family and I have ventured into the exciting and uncertain world of "interest-led learning." My oldest son prefers to call it "free-form schooling." And my younger son doesn't even mind throwing around the controversial "unschooling" term. (I refuse to let him use it around our more judgmental friends and family members) My sons are technically in their eighth and tenth "grades", and I'll admit, it took me this long to get to the point where I was relaxed enough to trust my sons' educational instincts.
Like a lot of first-timers, we had a sort of "school-at-home" approach to homeschooling when we started out. We did all the classical kindergarten rituals such as saying the pledge of allegiance to begin our day, setting up "centers" for exploration, and using those crazy sentence strips to teach writing. My kids could have easily made the transition into any traditional classroom in the country without batting an eye.
By the upper elementary years, that approach was getting a little stifling, so we turned more toward a literature-based curriculum, and focused more on a unit-study style of learning. This was definitely more appealing to my boys, as we were getting to explore some wonderful books and we kept very busy with the hands-on activities that were prescribed to supplement our learning. But something still felt a bit "forced" with this approach. We found ourselves doing activities that we had very little interest in...just because they went along with what we were studying.
Because my sons were always drawn toward flashing things with buttons and lights, we made yet another transition in the middle school years. Our educational focus turned toward online learning, where every lesson had an audio/video component to it, and education was fully interactive and engaging. Everything from keyboarding to world history could be accessed via online lessons. My sons thrived on the visual and audio support of multimedia lessons and entertaining activities that supported what they were learning. What could be better than an online homeschool curriculum, I wondered?
But as high school approached, that familiar restlessness cropped up again. What could possibly be missing??
We discussed it at length, and our family realized that each of us had really strong interests in very different subjects. Subjects that we wanted to delve into much deeper than most curricula would permit. My oldest son has a passion for programming, and the average homeschool curriculum doesn't offer much help in this area. My younger son is bananas for biology and zoology. While he can definitely get a good base of learning in this subject from a curriculum, in order to really learn all that he wants to learn about the animal kingdom, he actually has to dig deeper for himself. The conclusion we came to was that all of the methods we had used for homeschooling had served a purpose for a particular time, but that now, it was time to trust the boys to create their own learning paths. And that is just what they are doing.
While they are still using online curricula such as Time4Learning for their math and language arts studies, the rest of their days is given over to following their own interests. Our oldest son is now busy learning his fourth computer language, and our youngest son is happily compiling data for a project on dog behavior. The truth is that our homeschooling methods have evolved over the last ten years to bring us to this point, and looking back, I feel so blessed to have experienced so many different "ways" to homeschool.
What about you? How have your homeschooling methods changed over the years? Or if you are starting out, where would you say you are right now in the process?

We want you to be aware of a new State regulation that will take effect Summer 2012. Please note that there is a separate Federal repeat policy for financial aid students.
澳门申博网站students will be allowed only three attempts to pass a course and then will no longer be able to take that course again at cabrillo.
this means, beginning summer 2012, you will be unable to retake a course at cabrillo college if you have attempted the same course three or more times and received grades of "d", "f", "nc" (no credit), "np" (no pass), or "w" (withdraw). any combination of grades "d", "f", "nc", "np", or "w" counts toward the three attempts allowed.
澳门申博网站the following examples demonstrate how the new policy may affect a student as of summer 2012:
courses dropped early, before the "w" period begins, will not count toward the three attempts allowed.
if you have attempted a course two times already, you are allowed one more attempt. we encourage you to take advantage of support services available to you such as tutoring, math and integrated learning centers, learning communities, and study skills courses and labs, in order to be successful in your courses.
please note: courses that are listed as repeatable in the cabrillo college catalog are not currently subject to this regulation. however, the community college board of governors (bog) in sacramento is expected to revise the regulations on repeatable courses within a few months. any changes will be noted on the college website and in next year's college catalog.
澳门申博网站in some cases, if there has been a significant lapse of time since your last enrollment in a course, a one-time exception to this policy may apply. if you have questions about this policy and how it applies to you please see a counselor at one of the following locations:

They're in the midst of 20 games in 20 days, so the White Sox want their players to get some rest and when and where they can as they chase the AL Central title. Per CSN Chicago, that means manager Robin Ventura will be giving some players days off. But it also means they want guys to take naps:
Never mind a few innings, White Sox director of conditioning Allen Thomas thinks a 30-minute window can make a huge difference in a player's energy level. Thomas said the team not only has reduced the workload of players' specific workouts, but he also encourages them to find a pillow in the clubhouse or at the hotel whenever possible.
"There's a whole lot of power in a 15-minute nap," said Thomas, who is in his 10th season as director. "When you plug your battery back in for a few minutes, you still get some charge. Guys are doing a lot more contrast: we're doing the hot tub, cold tub and just cutting down their volume of work. You try to get better efficiency out of a fewer number of reps and use the energy for the main event."
Sounds like a solid plan, which is why ... zzzzz.

EventDay hasn't launched yet. In fact, it won't be introduced the world until early next year.
But Gangplank anchor Scott Cate doesn't much care. Called upon nearly two months by Microsoft to write a web-based registration app for their UndergroundPDC party in L.A. on November 9, Cate immediately went to work, using code from his eventual EventDay product to construct what was really a beta version. Deadlines were met and then just over a week ago, Microsoft called again. They wanted Cate to handle the entire registration process, including staffing and running the registration tables at the event, to be held at Club Nokia in L.A. Live.
Cate knew his app was ready. He had the equipment. He now needed about 12 people to staff an event six hours away and he couldn't hire just anyone. He need people on short notice with enough tech skills to quickly process people, presentable enough to impress the top brass and sociable enough to do additional tasks the event might require.
Katie Charland overheard Cate talking about this and told me. Having more spare time than I'm used to, I offered to go and figured I could round up some helpers in L.A. Three texts to my music producer friend Kyle Townsend later, we had seven people, including me, ready to go. Cate found a few more helpers and we took off to L.A. on Monday morning to prep the equipment, scout the location and plan out the Tuesday night event.
Prep went well, all the workers showed up on time and Microsoft was extremely happy. How many other places would have helped EventDay pull something like this off on such short notice? Not many.
Good work, Gangplank.

The premier may matter more than the party when it comes to managing B.C.'s money, judging from a timely new study that ranks the NDP as slightly better than the Liberals during back-to-back decades in office.
"On average, the B.C. government's fiscal performance was modestly better under the NDP than under the Liberals," concludes Tsur Somerville of the University of B.C.'s Sauder School of Business.
But there's a caveat in Somerville's paper, written to cast a non-partisan light on the debate over fiscal competence that's dominating the B.C. election campaign.
"The Harcourt government was dramatically more fiscally responsible than the subsequent Glen Clark, (Dan) Miller and (Ujjal) Dosanjh governments," he wrote.
Specifically, Mike Harcourt "better controlled the provincial debt and expenditures compared to GDP than have the B.C. Liberals.
"In turn, the B.C. Liberals outperformed the Glen Clark, Miller and Dosanjh NDP governments."
The Liberal era also outperformed the NDP on income growth, which rose from about 0.6 per cent to almost 1.0 per cent after the government changed hands.
And he found employment growth was fairly equal under both parties, but during the NDP term new jobs in the public sector were a much larger factor than during the Liberals years, when the private sector drove employment.
I wrote a sort of "lite" version of this story a month ago. My column asked "Who's the big spender?" and concluded — based simply on bottom-line spending figures from each party's budgets — that the NDP were slightly more prudent.
I was hammered for this. No lesser a light than Finance Minister Mike de Jong wrote to this newspaper questioning the premise and the details of what I wrote.
Somerville's analysis is more sophisticated than mine and — while it, too, will no doubt be challenged — it'll be harder to dismiss. His comparisons rest largely on how B.C. has done in relation to other provinces rather than in absolute terms, which can be influenced by may things beyond a provincial government's control.
Thus he bases his judgment not on, for example, whether a party ran surpluses or deficits, but rather on whether these were, in relative terms, larger or smaller than those of other provinces, which had similar opportunities and challenges.
That said, his analysis does contain some interesting absolutes.
Net debt as a percentage of GDP is one. It started low at 12 per cent under Mike Harcourt and inched lower still. It soared to 19 under Glen Clark, then inched down under Dan Miller and Ujjal Dosanjh. It started high, at 18 per cent, under Gordon Campbell, then briefly blipped up to 20, then plunged to 12, then bounced back to just over 15, where it sat when Christy Clark took over. On her watch it has continued upward to about 17 per cent.
A chart on program spending shows a similarly jagged line — trending downward under Harcourt, shooting up under Glen Clark, bouncing around under Miller and Dosanjh, and also bouncing — though with an overall downward trend — under Campbell and Christy Clark.
The most interesting data to me — and, I suspect, to most British Columbians — is how we fared in real income. Inflation-adjusted figures for median income show we were a hair behind the Canadian average and moderately behind Alberta when the NDP first took office. This improved to put us modestly ahead of the pack, though still trailing Alberta, during the first five years of the NDP decade, but then worsened sharply in the next five. The gap closed a tiny bit in the first five years of Liberal governance, but in the next five it dipped again — especially in relation to Alberta, which, like our province, is resource-dependent.

Ferrari's flagship Enzo model is coming to an end. Fans of the brand are anxiously awaiting first images of the follow-up model, currently running under the codename F70.
Set to debut this year and hitting retailers in 2013, there are not official images yet of the new Ferrari. Therefore Sydney designer David Williams has produced an incredible set of renderings of his vision of the upcoming Ferrari F70. "Ferrari has already revealed that the official F70 will be packed with a mid mounted, rear wheel drive 7.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 pumping out 800 horsepower paired with a pair 120 horsepower electric motors. This will put the Ferrari F70 up in the 900 to 1000 horsepower."

Baseball Musings has still been referring to the Tampa Bay Rays as the "Tampa Bay Devil Rays". Well, after receiving a letter from Matt Silverman, president of the Devil Rays, they can no longer use the excuse that they "didn't get the memo". Baseball Musings was fined $1 by the Devil Rays for using the term (the money does go to a Devil Rays charity).
The Tampa Bay Rays found out I was still sometimes using the name "Devil."
They've asked me to stop. I'll be sending in a $10 fine.
(HERE is a link to a scan of the actual letter from the Devil Rays. Below is the full text of the letter from Devil Rays president Matt Silverman.)
February 1, 2008
Dear Mr. Pinto:
November 8, 2007 was a landmark day for our organization. On that day, we shed the "devil" from our name and became the Tampa Bay Rays. Our organization introduced a new logo, colors and uniforms to accompany the name change. A bright yellow sunburst now adorns our jerseys. Replacing the devil ray fish, this sunburst icon invokes the magnificence of life in the Sunshine State.
Thousands of Rays' fans flocked to downtown St. Petersburg to celebrate the launch of our new team name. Players flaunted their new threads and described them as "fresh." Community leaders and even Hollywood's Kevin Costner joined in the fanfare.
Although these changes have been widely embraced, old habits often die hard. Here at our offices in Tropicana Field, we created "Drop the Devil" donation boxes. For each and every Devil Rays mention, employees must contribute one dollar to the donation box. All proceeds benefit the Rays Baseball Foundation, the official charity of the Rays which supports youth and education programs in the Tampa Bay community. Though costly for a forgetful few, it has been both fun and instructive, while also benefiting a worthy cause.
It has been brought to my attention that you, too, recently used our former team name. Accordingly, the Rays request a donation to the Rays Baseball Foundation in the amount of one dollar (though larger contributions are welcomed). Please note that repeat violations may carry a steeper penalty.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. We hope to see you this season at a Rays' game.
Yours truly,
Matt Silverman
President, Tampa Bay Rays
Wow. We guess that this means we will not be seeing any Devil Rays "Turn Back The Clock" nights anytime soon. Our favorite part is how the "sunburst icon invokes the magnificence of life in the Sunshine State". Huh-wha? Of course, it does not invoke the magnificence of play in the Tropicana DOME, the home of the Devil Rays, which you know…has a roof. And where is our letter from the Devil Rays? We are apparently not invoking the use of the term "Devil Rays" nearly enough.
Other fines that Devil Rays' employees can soon be expecting:
- For wearing anything green. St. Patty's Day is going to suck this year at Devil Rays headquarters. Of course last year on St. Patrick's day, the Devil Rays actually wore less green than normal. It was prophetic.
- For ever mentioning the name Chuck LaMar. OK, this is one that we will gladly enforce.
- For any references to the movies Water World, the Postman, or any other crappy Kevin Costner flick.
I'm In Trouble! [Baseball Musings]

686 x Suicidal Tendencies
- Written by Pauly
Formed in Venice, CA, during the early '80s, Suicidal Tendencies specialized in vicious hardcore early on — building a huge following among skateboarders, and lending a major hand in the creation of skatepunk — before turning their focus eventually to thrash metal. The influence on the skateboarding and music scene grew too loud for labels to ignore, and their 1983 self-titled debut release quickly became the best-selling hardcore album of its time. Music has always been a major inspiration in the design and innovations of 686 outerwear, especially to 686 Founder and President, Mike West, who grew up in the Southbay of Los Angeles running amuck with his skateboard in hand and ST on his Walkman. Thus, the partnership between Suicidal and 686 was born.
The collaboration between 686 and ST features original artwork from ST albums throughout the garments plus ST-centric detailing on the sleeves and hood. The jacket is 100% poly herringbone denim and mylon oxford, making it a unique mix of technical fabrication and innovative styling. The ST and 686 collection is made up of the 10,000MM/8,000 gm waterproof/breathable snowboarding jacket plus accompanying tees, hoodies and New Era® hat. In the tried and true words of lead singer and founding ST member, Mike Muir, "All you wanted was a bad ass Suicidal/686 partnership, and now it's your last chance to get it!"

From Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil" to Joseph Conrad's "fascination of the abomination," humankind has struggled to make sense of human-upon-human violence. Violence in War and Peace: An Anthology is the only book of its kind available: a single volume exploration of social, literary, and philosophical theories of violence. Edited by two of anthropology's most passionate voices on this subject, Violence in War and Peace is a sweeping collection that looks at various concepts and modes of violence. Drawing from a remarkable range of sources, the editors juxtapose the routine violence of everyday life---what scholars Taussig and Benjamin have termed "terror as usual"---against the sudden outcropping of unexpected, extraordinary violence such as the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, the state violence of Argentina's "Dirty War", revolution, vigilante "justice," and organized criminal violence. Despite the impulse to distance ourselves from such acts, Scheper-Hughes and Bourgois take care to remind us that concepts of violence and aggression have often failed to acknowledge symbolic and structural forms. Yet, the most violent acts often involve conduct that is socially permitted---even encouraged---rather than condemned as deviant. In Violence in War and Peace, the editors offer a thought-provoking tool for students and thinkers from all walks of life: an exploration of violence at the broadest levels: personal, social, and political.Scheper-Hughes, Nancy is the author of 'Violence in War and Peace An Anthology', published 2003 under ISBN 9780631223498 and ISBN 0631223495.[read more]

Residents of Zagreb panicked last week when they heard radio reports of UFO sighting. The station's journalists admitted to a War of the Worlds-inspired hoax, but claim this hoax held a deeper purpose.
Last week, the Croatian station Radio Antenna began broadcasting reports of an unidentified flying object, a bright spot of light seen moving through the sky. The reports were apparently a planned hoax by the station's journalists and Kresimir Misak, the host of the local science fiction show, "On the Brink of Science." Much as Orson Welles staged his radio broadcast of HG Well's The War of the Worlds to expose the public's gullibility, these hoaxsters claimed there was a point to their deception:
The Croatian radio journalists admitted only around noon that their report was a joke, aimed at ridiculing Mayor Milan Bandić's plans to turn Zagreb into a police stronghold. Bandić intended to supply the police with a helicopter, an unmanned flying device, an armoured car and other special instruments, as well as to build a fortified command centre. The journalists behind the joke had decided to test the authorities by faking a Martian attack on the air.
But the mayor was not the only one deceived by the broadcasts. Zagreb residents jammed up the phone lines with calls to relatives, the authorities, and the local fire department. Police officials are currently investigating whether the reports resulted in any public harm and plan to file charges against those involved.

<sigh> The reason I say gay marriage is inevitable is because I think the "separate-but-equal-is-not-equal" argument has traction once we accept that homosexuals are A) normal and B) not a choice group. It is probably impossible, politically, to get the US Constitution amended to forbid gay marriage, but it is very possible, even probable I think, that the US Constitution would eventually be amended to forbid polygamy, if necessary. After all, there are laws against polygamy in all 50 states already.

Chrysler leads Detroit Nov. sales gains
- Best November sales since 2007
- Fiat sales up 123%, best of group brands
- Only Jeep fails to show year-over-year gain
Chrysler Group reported today a 14% gain in sales in November vs. a year ago to 122,565 vehicles, with all brands but Jeep increasing sales and Fiat showing the best percentage gain up 123% to a record month. It was a 32nd consecutive month of sales gains in Chrysler's recovery from its near-death experience.
The gain led Detroit makers, with Ford reporting a 6% gain and GM up 3.4%. Chrysler also tracked close to overall industry average increase of 15%, according to Autodata. The annual selling rate for the month was a very strong 15.54 million.
Story:Small cars, big trucks drive Ford gain
"Even with all the talk of a looming fiscal cliff, Chrysler Group is well positioned for a strong sales finish to the year," said Reid Bigland, Dodge CEO and head of U.S. sales for the group, in a statement. "We are expecting a strong December as the industry continues to recover from the East Coast hurricane and consumers continue to respond to" our year-end sales event.
Dodge was the biggest volume brand with 40,075 sales, up 32%. Its Journey crossover was up 77%, Grand Caravan minivan up 42% and Avenger mid-size sedan up 26%. Dodge sold just 4,489 of its new-model Dart compact sedan, which appears to be having trouble getting launched, though the company said average transaction prices are running a strong $22,000 for the car.
The company sold 3,603 Fiats in the month, and also showed at the L.A. Auto Show last week a coming, bigger, four-door model to expand the lineup.
Among the other brands, Ram trucks, which just rolled out a refreshed 1500 pickup, had sales up 23%.
The flagship Chrysler brand eked out just a 1% gain, but the big 300 sedan was up 17%.
Jeep sales were down 3% year-over-year, which Chrysler attributed to the end of production of the Jeep Liberty mode, as wll as declining sales for the Compass compact. The Wrangler model had a record November, up 12%.
Commenting on Chrysler's overall report, Michelle Krebs, Edmunds.com senior analyst Michelle Krebs says sales "came in a tad stronger than expected, helped by strong truck sales and higher month-to month and year-ago incentives. The new Ram 1500 pickup truck came out of the chute strong, and Fiat is gaining steam. The same cannot be said of the new Dodge Dart as it appears to be struggling to gain serious traction, with sales falling well below 5,000 units this month."

CHARLTON � Over 100 marijuana plants were seized last week after authorities discovered them being cultivated at a Partridge Hill Road home. The man living there is now facing drug charges.
Charlton police, state police, the Drug Enforcement Administration and National Guard Task Force were able to locate the outdoor growing operation during an investigation. The plants were discovered on Aug. 20 at 321 Partridge Hill Road, Charlton police said in a news release.
Investigators searched the home and outside around the home. They found 50 plants outside and another 73 inside the home. Police estimated the value at $80,000. In addition, there were many power pack lights, buckets, fertilizer and plastic containers.
Authorities charged 49-year-old Erik R. Osterberg, who lives at that address, with marijuana cultivation. However, the charge was amended to distribution of marijuana when he was arraigned Aug. 21 in Dudley District Court.
Mr. Osterberg was released on $100. He is slated back in court for a pretrial hearing Oct. 2.
According to Charlton Police Officer William J. Beaudry's report, state police, along with the Drug Enforcement Administration and National Guard Task Force were conducting its annual "Marijuana Eradiction Project" fly-over and spotted 40-plus plants in the backyard in an open field at 321 Partridge Hill Road. Officer Beaudry met up with State Troopers Sean Maher and Trish O'Reilly, as well as National Guard members, at that location.
Mr. Osterberg told authorities that he had had a medical patient card and threw some old seeds out in the yard and they just grew, according to the police report.
Attached to Officer Beaudry's report were photographs of the property and the setup Mr. Osterberg had established "that clearly shows not for personal or medical use," according to the report.


text: Pubdate: Sun, 09 Feb 2014 Source: Las Vegas Review-Journal (NV) Copyright: 2014 Las Vegas Review-Journal Website: http://www.lvrj.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/233 Author: Debra Saunders Page: 1D IN WAR ON DRUGS, MARIJUANA AND HEROIN NOT EQUALLY DANGEROUS The apparent heroin overdose death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman already has become a hockey puck in the war over the war on drugs. During a House subcommittee hearing on federal marijuana policy Tuesday, critics of the war on drugs hammered a White House drug official for putting too much emphasis on marijuana when Washington instead should focus on dangerous drugs that actually kill users. "What is more dangerous and addictive," Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., asked the White House's deputy director of drug control policy, Michael Botticelli, methamphetamine and cocaine or marijuana? "I think that conversation minimizes the harm," Botticelli sort of answered. "How many people die from marijuana overdoses every year?" Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., inquired. Botticelli said he didn't know, that fatal marijuana overdoses are "very rare." Botticelli answered that people have to look at "the totality of harm that's associated with a substance." Even if "marijuana doesn't have the lethality and the overdose potential that heroin or alcohol does," there are "significant health consequences that are associated with the drug." Blumenauer put together a paper that examined deaths caused by alcohol abuse (80,000 a year) and tobacco use (400,000 annually). He observed that Washington has been able to wage successful campaigns to decrease smoking "without locking people up." Anti-smoking campaigns have worked because they are fact-based - unlike the Controlled Substances Act, which places marijuana in the same Schedule I category as heroin, a drug that can kill. So why not change the law? Botticelli argued that he has met with families devastated by addiction and parents whose children died from drug overdoses. They cannot understand why states have legalized medical and recreational marijuana. They believe, said Botticelli, that "legalizing marijuana sends the absolute worst message to our youth." Their children didn't overdose on marijuana, countered Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. "It is ludicrous, absurd, crazy to have marijuana in the same level as heroin," quoth Cohen. "Ask the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, if you could. Nobody dies from marijuana. People die from heroin. And every second we spend in this country trying to enforce marijuana laws is a second that we're not enforcing heroin laws." I should note that committee Republicans hit President Barack Obama for not being tough enough on marijuana. The panel's chairman, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., groused about Obama's "schizophrenic" approach. On the one hand, the president recently told The New Yorker he considers marijuana to be no more dangerous than alcohol and wants Washington and Colorado ballot measures that legalized recreational marijuana to proceed. On the other hand, the administration has continued to prosecute medical marijuana dispensers in the 21 states that have legalized medical marijuana. The answer to the "schizophrenic" charge would be for Obama to direct Attorney General Eric Holder to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule I drugs. Congress also could change the law, but Blumenauer spokesman Patrick Malone noted that with the GOP in control of the House, that's unlikely: "So that leaves us with the administrative route. The president has said that he's going to use his executive powers to do what he can to effect change. Well, here is an opportunity." - --- MAP posted-by: Matt

Planet Hockey will educate, motivate, support and develop players in an age-appropriate, high-energy environment that keeps them focused, entertained and passionate about what they are learning.
