Clone 99
During the Clone Wars, Clone 99 was a malformed result of the cloning process. Due to his genetic defects and physical limitations, he was considered unfit for combat, and remained behind on Kamino to support the training efforts of his clone "brothers." Though his responsibilities were menial and his job consisted primarily of janitorial duties, he took pride in his work and in his connection to the Republic's noble heroes. Despite (or perhaps because of) his physical shortcomings, Clone 99 was gentle, thoughtful and wise, offering a unique perspective for cadets facing the rigors of military training. During the Separatist invasion of Tipoca City, he assisted a group of clone cadets in their defense of the cloning facility.

ARC Trooper Fives
Also known as CT-27-5555, Fives trained with Domino Squad on Kamino before being shipped out to the Rishi Moon listening outpost. He survived the Separatist attack on the station there, and was transferred to the 501st Legion alongside his squadmate and fellow survivor, Echo. Fives and Echo were promoted to ARC trooper status after the defense of Kamino from Separatist invaders. He and Echo were later assigned with the difficult mission of freeing Republic prisoners from the daunting Citadel prison installation on Lola Sayu. He and Echo were later part of a mission to free Republic prisoners from the Separatist prison called the Citadel. Echo fell in battle, leaving Fives as Domino Squad's sole survivor. Fives accompanied the clone trooper Tup to Kamino for medical testing, where he discovered a terrifying secret about the clones' origins and ultimate purpose.
Shaak Ti
A wise and patient Jedi Master, the Togruta Shaak Ti fought at the Battle of Geonosis, and supervised the training of clone cadets on Kamino. There, she struggled to balance the necessity of producing capable troopers with compassion for the clones as living beings. Ti helped defend Kamino against Separatist attack, balancing assignments in the field with her duties on the Jedi Council.
Clone Trooper Dogma
Fervently loyal to the Galactic Republic, trooper Dogma was one of the newer generation of clone troopers fighting on the frontlines of the Clone Wars. Unlike seasoned veterans like Clone Captain Rex and ARC Trooper Fives, Dogma was more rigid in his thinking, easily -- and eagerly -- submitting to appropriate authority. When clones troopers of the 501st began grousing about General Krell's obstinate and dangerous command style, Dogma jumped to defend their commander. Dogma supported the general -- and passionately believed in their duty to carry out his orders.
Clone Troopers
At the time of their introduction, the Republic clone troopers represented the future of galactic warfare. Far superior to battle droids, the clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military that waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. So symbolic were they of the times, the galaxy-wide conflict that saw their debut took its name from their ranks: the Clone Wars.
Purged from the otherwise complete Jedi Archives is all evidence of the mysterious world of Kamino. A lonely world beyond the Outer Rim and just south of the Rishi Maze, few could have predicted that Kamino would become a key contributor to a massive shift in political power in the final days of the Republic. Kamino is a planet of endless oceans and storms. Few features mark its surface, save for massive stilt-mounted cities wherein reside the planet's natural inhabitants, the Kaminoans. From Tipoca City, the planet's Prime Minister rules. Lama Su closely monitored the operations of Kamino's most prized export: clones.
Galactic Republic
For over a thousand years, the Galactic Republic stood firm as a democratic union that governed the galaxy. The Republic was governed by the Galactic Senate, consisting of elected officials from each system and world, and Jedi Knights served as peacekeepers. With the rise of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, however, the Galactic Republic -- and democracy -- would crumble.

In the world of futures trading, speculators know what they're getting into as soon as a trade is entered. Go short cattle on strong supply numbers, then a mad cow scare hits, causing multiple limit up moves. Doesn't matter the scenario, trading involves risk.
But traders never should have to be concerned that their money on deposit with regulated entities might be in jeopardy. Unfortunately, the collapses of MF Global and Peregrine Financial Group (PFG) have caused futures traders to grapple with hijacked segregated funds. Speculators and hedgers alike need not only a trading plan to manage market risk, but also a plan to spot brokerage firm risk.
The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article titled: "True or false: Many Americans don't understand the basics of investing." While the majority of futures traders have a higher level of investment literacy than typical retail investors, these same traders — who understand leverage, complex economic analysis and moving average crossovers — have very little knowledge about the realities of segregated funds balances, open trade equity protections and the daisy chain movement of client funds.

Chocolate Crinkles
This is another one of my all time favorite cookies. I posted this recipe last year, but I'm reposting it now (with better pictures). This is a great Christmas cookie. Especially if you're like me and you're giving everyone cookies for Christmas. Who has money for presents?
Chocolate Crinkles
1/2 c vegetable oil
4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (1 oz each)
2 c sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
2 t vanilla
2 c rice flour mix
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/4 t salt
1 t baking powder
confectioners sugar
Melt chocolate, then mix with oil and sugar. Mix in eggs, one at a time. (If your eggs are cold, it will cause the warm chocolate to stiffen up and then you will have to warm up your dough somehow, so don't do that - use warm eggs.) Stir in the vanilla, then add the rice flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder. Mix everything together, then stick the bowl in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350. Form dough into small balls (dough will be stiff) and roll in confectioners sugar. Place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet, and bake 10-12 minutes (just until they feel slightly firm when you touch the top of one).
Makes about 3 dozen.

You may want a copy of this book in the form of a planar cellulose information
retrieval system, i.e. a printed book. They make good gifts, and are more familiar
to most of us than electronic copies. But finding a printed copy of a book is
sometimes difficult. This section is intended to give you some help by making it
easy to use the more common ways of searching.
1 The first column consists of links to the home pages of the biggest suppliers of books by mail: Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These two suppliers have mostly new books, and their new book inventory probably has an overlap of something like 90%, but this does not mean that they both have exactly the same price. Both of them also list used books from outside suppliers, and the used book inventories are usually quite different. ABE Books is a loose grouping of some 17,000 independent bookstores that list their inventory in a common database - most of these are used books that vary from just issued best sellers to rare and antique books.
From all three home pages you can do searches, look at comments, check prices of both new and used copies, look at various formats such as hardback, paperback, eBook formats and much more.
2 The second column has links to Barnes & Noble and Amazon pages describing their new eBook Readers. These have become very popular lately as they allow the purchase of new books and textbooks at prices lower than the printed copies, and in a format that many people find attractive.
3 Clicking on the links in the third column sends you to the supplier along with the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book described on this page if we have been able to find that number. Note that an ISBN refers to a specific edition of a book. Thus a single book might have many ISBNs: Hardback edition, softback, large print, foreign language and so on. Usually the book listing on B & N or Amazon will have links to the other editions that are available.
4 Is our ISBN wrong, or perhaps missing all together. Help us out. Search on B&N and Amazon. If you find one, please let us know. Enter the thirteen (Barnes & Noble) or ten (Amazon) digit number (no dashes) in the boxes above and click on the Submit ISBN button. The numbers shown in the boxes are the numbers we have on file, or zero if we haven't found one.

While Microsoft's November announcement that it had sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses since the operating system launched had some hopeful, many pundits still said businesses will be slow to adopt.
Office 365, on the other hand, has been making gains, as Microsoft has been pushing the platform within the channel, from partner cloud incentives to certification programs. As such, demand for Office 365 experience has been on the rise in the SMB space.
"Office 365, that's a newer skill set that we're seeing demand for, definitely in the deployment area," Billiar said. "The Office 365 is not a capital expenditure; it's a operating expense. And, it's hosted, so it's independent."

"Got any nachos ready?"
That's what Joe Hendrix said to the folks at the Radio Grill, his employer's in-house snack bar. Hendrix was on his way to punch out from his shift in the meat-cutting department at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Jacksonville, Texas; eight months earlier, in February 2000, he'd voted yes in the first successful election for union representation at a US Wal-Mart store. For failing to pay when placing his nacho order, he was fired.
Seventy-two-year-old Sidney Smith also voted yes; he got axed for eating a pre-weighed banana on the checkout line. Such were the excuses offered by management as union supporters were systematically routed from their jobs. But this was well after the real damage had been done, when Wal-Mart announced two weeks after the Jacksonville vote that it was switching to case-ready, or pre-cut, beef and would be eliminating meat-cutting operations in 180 stores. Wal-Mart claimed its decision had nothing to do with the organizing drive, but the union filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Although the board ruled in the union's favor, the timing of the news contained a chillingly clear message to Wal-Mart workers nationwide: This is what you can expect if you try to organize.
Wal-Mart's legendary ferocity in such situations has, until recently, kept unions from trying to make inroads in its million-strong work force. But after more than a decade of pussyfooting, the United Food and Commercial Workers union and the Teamsters are gearing up to take on Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., with the former taking the retail stores and the latter handling 100-plus distribution centers. For the UFCW, this undertaking is less the result of newfound militancy than it is about mere survival. Seventy percent of the union's 1.4 million members work for national groceries like Kroger and Safeway, as well as smaller, regional chains. With a strong presence in the top 100, mostly urban, markets, the big chains can hold steady in the face of Wal-Mart encroachment. The regional chains, however, are getting walloped. And with Wal-Mart circling on the fringes of larger markets, its lower wages and benefits will likely erode those enjoyed by UFCW members.
In its forty-year reign Wal-Mart has amassed a jaw-dropping trophy rack of titles–"world's largest retailer," "world's largest private employer" and the recently acquired "world's largest corporation," edging out ExxonMobil for the top spot in this year's Fortune 500. The chain accounts for a staggering 6.4 percent of the nation's retail sales and, as reported in The Economist, 7-8 percent of US consumer spending (excluding cars and "white goods" like refrigerators, washers and dryers). With KMart, until recently its closest rival, now in bankruptcy, the path is clear to ever greater domination.

Some stories of losing, seeking, and finding
The gospel text at church last Sunday was the first part of Luke 15 -- the parables of the shepherd who leaves the flock and goes to find the lost sheep, and the woman who sweeps her house searching for a lost silver coin. The stories have an underlying spiritual meaning: God is concerned about every individual, and He rejoices when a sinner repents.
Losing and finding was certainly on our minds even before it was preached on at church. Isaac misplaced his iPod last week. He knew it was in the house, but he searched fruitlessly for several days. Finally he thought to look in Keely's room. There it was, on the bed where he had laid it while he was doing some ironing. It is not an exaggeration to say that he rejoiced.
I think the luckiest find I ever made was when I lost the stone out of my engagement ring. When I saw that it was missing, I told myself, "It's gone." I was really surprised a week or so later when I found the diamond in the bottom of the laundry basket.
One of my sadder losses happened when I was living in a college dorm. First, a couple of necklaces were missing, including one that my grandma had given me. Then I accidentally left a ring on our bathroom sink, and when I came back a few hours later, it was gone. I talked to my roommate and the other two girls who shared the bathroom, but they denied any knowledge. After that, I locked my remaining valuables in the closet, an action very similar to locking the barn door after the horse is stolen. I was glad when that semester ended.
In our yard, I've found about a dozen cut glass crystals that look like they came from a chandelier. The man who built this house worked at a factory where they made light fixtures, and I think he must have brought home a few crystals for his children. They played with them outside and either dropped them or forgot where they had put them.
I've never had a flock of sheep, but I've had quite a few pet cats over the years. Kitty, my Bolivian cat, got lost several times. She stayed with my mother-in-law during the five years we were in Germany. At one point, she went missing for a couple of months before she showed up again, looking like a skeleton. Mama Netz thought she must have been locked in someone's shed.
Kitty disappeared another time after she came to live with us in Kentucky. I walked down the roads and out in the woods and pastures calling her name, but I didn't find her. Several weeks later, I was working in the far corner of the yard and I saw a cat walking by. I thought it looked like Kitty, so I spoke to her. She turned and looked at me in total surprise. If I hadn't seen her, she would have kept on walking. I don't think she had any idea that she was near home.
Two thousand years have passed since Jesus told the parables of The Lost Sheep and The Lost Coin, but the experiences he relates in them are timeless. We all have lost-and found stories. Who has not experienced sadness and concern when something was lost, and joy and relief when it was found again?
After these two parables, Jesus told his audience a third parable -- The Lost Son (The Prodigal Son.) It's another timeless, poignant story of pain and joy that illustrates God's concern and love for each of us.

Ryanair Releases New Calendar With Flight Attendants in Bikinis
Budget European airline Ryanair released its annual Cabin Crew Charity Calendar last week. With glossy pictures of bikini and lingerie-clad models posed in and around the airline's airplanes, the fourth edition of the calendar may be produced with more care than the airline puts into its maintenance program.
In October, Ryanair had a plane return to the terminal after a crew used tape to secure a window on a flight in Latvia. Less than 20 minutes into the trip, the tape came loose, sending passengers into a panic and causing the flight to be aborted. Worse, the airline maintained that the crew followed normal procedures, meaning that Ryanair apparently believes that tape can hold broken parts of a plane together during a flight.
Of course, if an airline was so cost-conscious that it started taking toilets out of airplanes to include an added seat, it might see duct tape as a luxury item. That same thought process and attention to detail may guide all of the company's decisions, judging by the music and art direction of the 2009 "Making of the Ryanair Charity Calendar" video. And of course there's a "Making of…" video?
In addition to placing parts of Ryanair's male passengers in the upright position, the Cabin Crew Calendar will hopefully raise nearly 100,000 Euro ($137K US dollars) for a charitable fund. Over the past three years, the Ryanair calendar has raised 400,000 Euro ($551K US dollars) for charity. Obviously none of that money went into plane repairs. Though it could buy a ton of duct tape.

Dale give Robins what four
Rochdale denied Cheltenham the chance to move up to second in League Two with a thumping 4-1 win at Spotland.
The hosts had lost their last four games but there was little to suggest a fifth would be on the cards against their high-flying visitors.
Rochdale created the clearer chances in an open first half. Bobby Grant, who passed a late fitness test on a shoulder injury, fired a fierce drive against the crossbar while Scott Brown was at his best with a double save to deny Ashley Grimes and Andrew Tutte in quick succession.
Grant opened the scoring in the 38th minute, collecting a short pass from Dele Adebola on the left edge of the penalty area before sending a stunning curling effort past Brown.
Grimes made it two-nil with an equally impressive strike from 25 yards in injury time at the end of the first half, his polished finish leaving Brown rooted to the spot.
The visitors were briefly back in the game when Phil Edwards scooped the ball into his own net three minutes into the second half after Josh Lillis had parried Chris Zebroski's effort.
But another fine strike from Grimes in the 67th minute, quickly followed by a tap-in from Adebola, made the result safe for the hosts.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.'s fourth-quarter net income fell 10 percent, hurt by some charges.
Its adjusted quarterly earnings topped analysts' estimate, but its guidance for this year was below Wall Street's view.
The Stamford, Conn., company, whose brands include Sheraton and St. Regis, earned $128 million, or 67 cents a share, for the period ended Dec. 31. That's down from $142 million, or 72 cents a share, earned during the same time in 2012.
Removing the charges and other items, earnings were 73 cents per share, 3 cents more than analysts polled by FactSet expected.
Revenue dipped 2 percent, to $1.51 billion from $1.53 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $1.52 billion.
Revenue per available room for hotels open at least a year, a key industry metric, increased 5.3 percent. The strongest growth came from the company's high-end Luxury Collection and St. Regis hotels. The laggards were its Sheraton and Le Méridien brands.
Starwood has nearly 1,200 properties in 100 countries. Like most hotel companies, it doesn't own the properties but markets them under management or franchise agreements. During the quarter, Starwood signed 58 such agreements, representing approximately 11,700 rooms, and opened 23 hotels and resorts with approximately 5,400 rooms.
In 2014, Starwood expects adjusted profit of $2.69 to $2.78 per share, below Wall Street's prediction of $2.99 per share.

You get malaria from a bite by an infected mosquito. This bite injects malaria-causing parasites into your blood, where they travel to liver cells. In the liver cells, the parasites breed. The cells later burst, letting loose thousands of new parasites that go on to infect more red blood cells.
Mosquitoes get malaria from biting a human who has malaria. The mosquito draws the blood into its stomach where malaria parasites breed and infect other red blood cells. In time, the parasites move into the mosquito's salivary glands. When this happens, the mosquito is then able to infect a human.

BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo (AP) — A Red Cross official says the death toll has risen to more than 25 people killed after an Ilyushin-76 cargo plane owned by a private Congolese company crashed near the airport in the Republic of Congo's capital.
Albert Mberi, secretary-general of the Red Cross in the Republic of Congo, said Saturday they had counted at least 25 people killed from the crash, including six Ukrainian crew members. Officials on Friday said at least three died. Mberi said several people were wounded and had been evacuated to the University Hospital in the capital, Brazzaville. Mberi said the death toll was provisional and could rise.
A state radio official put the death toll at 30.
The Republic of Congo is often overshadowed by its much larger neighbor, Congo — the scene of numerous crashes involving aging Soviet planes.

The restaurant has not been sold or taken over by new management. Rather, La Jolla's location is serving as a sort of beta test for other locations, said managing partner Brian Lee.
"This is a marketing test," Lee said. "We've chosen the La Jolla location as an experiment to evaluate the impact of the name change. If it makes a difference, we may roll it out and change other locations similarly."
The menu, Lee said, will include some new dishes, "but the classic standards, which are so popular with our guests, will remain."
Roy Yamaguchi is a phenomenon — a creative, dynamic and energetic chef and businessman who could easily be mistaken for one of the line cooks when he wears his toque.
Growing up in Hawaii, Yamaguchi experienced the joys of fresh seafood before graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and continuing his training with such famous master chefs as Jean Bertranou and Michel Blanchet at notable establishments Michael's in Santa Monica, Escoffier Room and L'Ermitage.
In 1988, he opened his first eponymous restaurant in Hawaii Kai in Honolulu. He created a new concept in cuisine — Hawaiian fusion, an eclectic blend of California-French-Japanese cooking traditions. The response to his culinary concepts and skills was astounding. Food & Wine Magazine named his restaurant the "crown jewel of Honolulu's East-West eateries," while Gourmet Magazine called him "the father of modern East-West cooking." A few years later, he was the first Hawaiian invited to cook at the James Beard House, something of a culinary Academy Award.
Since opening his first location, he has grown his chain to 31 locations worldwide. He has written numerous cookbooks, developed a line of cookware and has become a TV personality on his own syndicated show, as well as on "Top Chef." He has been invited to demonstrate his cooking style in 15 countries and has also cooked for nine world leaders, including presidents Clinton and Obama.
Now, Yamaguchi has partnered with OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC, a multibillion dollar company that operates eight major brands, including Fleming's Steakhouses. Future expansion seems almost a certainty, although Yamaguchi's favorite pastimes are to hang out with his children and to play drums in a local band.
Yamaguchi's style of food preparation involves combining fresh local ingredients, European sauces and Asian spices to give his dishes texture, flavor and color.
Three principles guide his business approach:
1) Support of local farmers and purveyors. Yamaguchi insists on the freshest ingredients, and in Hawaii, his support of local growers has been legendary.
2) Allowing individual chefs to express their creative talents. Menus at different locations may not be the same, as each chef may include stylized items.
3) Giving back. Yamaguchi supports local charities and assistance programs where his restaurants are located.
Some of the new dishes that came with the name change include a tasty scallop and pork belly with fennel and light curry sauce; the akaushi beef tataki (thinly sliced and flavored by truffle powder that made the taste sparkle); and the grilled filet mignon, which was meaty, delightful and served with Japanese braised baby vegetables in a mushroom soy jus.
For a sensory treat in dining, Roy Yamaguchi's Pacific Rim Cuisine is a definite winner. The newly named restaurant is located at 8670 Genesee Ave. Prices are moderate to high. Reservations are recommended. A daily aloha hour (4:30 to 6:30 p.m.) features an indulgent menu and drink specials. Call (858) 455-1616 for information and reservations.

The Digitech iPB-10: Turn your iPad into a guitar effects powerhouse
The Digitech iPB-10: Turn your iPad into a guitar effects powerhouse
Since the iPad's release in 2010, a number of the music-technology and guitar brands have developed a new market of music making tools for integrating your iOS device.
Digitech bring us something different
Using an iPad as its control surface, the Digitech iPB-10 is a processing machine that you plug your iPad right into a multi-fx pedalboard shell.
So Many Sounds
In a compact and extremely simple metal unit, you have a choice of 87 pedals, 54 amps, 26 cabinets and an infinite number of presets. Along with the compatible iPB-Nexus app, you can build and control your pedalboard, add, arrange or adjust your pedals in a very simple touch-screen interface. The iPB 10 allows you to arrange pedals in any order by dragging and dropping with a swipe of your finger. Bringing the concept of presets to a pedalboard, the iPB-10 allows you to save 100 of your pedalboards with the touch of your finger, and instantly recall them with the stomp of your foot.
As Premier Guitar rightly say, "for the travelling musician that doesn't want to lug pedals this is a more convenient alternative, and the sheer number available and the ability to store them as presets and arrange them in any order is very handy"
My Tones Library
The iPB-Nexus app for the iPB-10 includes a My Tones library. This is where you store, organize and rate all of your favourite presets, and as I said earlier, you can store an unlimited number! These presets can be organised into different groups, so if you want a different pedal board for each gig, set or song, you can do that.

Eric Emmerling's NH College Notebook: Leighton reaches 1,000-point collegiate plateau at St. Anselm
January 26. 2013 7:23PM
CURRAN LEIGHTON was released from the hospital at 8 a.m. on the day she netted the 1,000th point of her college basketball career.
"I went to the emergency room at 3 a.m. with a kidney stone," said Leighton, a senior and small forward for St. Anselm College. "I played in pain because I had so many family members in attendance at the game. I took some aspirin and celebrated with them after the game."
The all-time leading Dover High School career scorer (1,212 points) has always possessed a reputation of consistent, tough and determined play. Her father, Scott Leighton, also tallied over 1,200 points at Dover, becoming the boys' all-time scoring leader in 1981.
Curran achieved the collegiate scoring milestone while coming off the bench to sink two of three field goal attempts in 15 minutes of play during last Saturday's loss to Assumption College at Worcester, Mass. Playing pain free in her next outing, Leighton netted 14 points, including two treys, during a Wednesday night road loss as the Hawks record dropped to 4-12.
"Scoring 1,000 points was never a goal in college, unlike high school," said Leighton. "I really didn't know my potential coming out of high school. I ended up doing better than I thought."
As a freshman at the University of Southern Maine, Leighton picked up five different Rookie of the Year honors while leading the Huskies in scoring (16.4 points a game), rebounding (8.9) and blocked shots (1.8). The Huskies advanced to NCAA Division III National Championship tournament
Battling homesickness and a yearning to compete at the Division II level, Leighton discovered a better financial and academic fit at St. Anselm College. Courtside, the 5-foot-9 criminal justice major assumed a role coming off the bench, consistently averaging about eight points and five rebounds a game the past three seasons.
She transferred as a forward but transitioned into the small forward post as a result of her long distance shot. Thus far this season Leighton's hit a team-high tally of 17 3-pointers.
"I've taken on different roles on the team. My aunts and uncles said college would be the best four years of my lift because you completely find out who you are, and they were so right. I learned so much about myself as a student and as an athlete," said Leighton, who intends to pursue a Master's Degree in nursing upon graduation this spring.

OTHER HIGH CAREER scorers include Alex Hall, a University of Hartford senior from Pembroke. The senior guard has 731 career points and counting. Franklin Pierce University forward Amanda Saab of Windham (Salem High) has scored 545 points in four seasons.
- - - - -- - -
HOT HANDS: Tom Poitras has averaged 22 points in the low post spot that past four games. The 6-foot-5 Rivier University junior from Bow leads the team in scoring at 15.6 points an outing while also contributing 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.
Mike Stys of Hooksett (Central) recently experienced a three-game stretch during which he hit the game-winning shot, scored a career-high 20 points another night and knocked down two treys and made four assists in another Penmen win. The 6-foot-1 junior ranks third on the team, scoring 11.9 points a game.
- - - - -- - -
NEW ENGLAND COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week: Daniel Webster College guard Ashley Giampetruzzi of Manchester (Central) earned this honor after averaging 18.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in a three-game stretch. In her next outing after securing the honor, the freshman recorded a double-double (11 points, 10 boards) in a win over Becker College.
MAKING WAVES: Brianna Laliberte of Candia earned the Little East Conference rookie swimmer of the week with a pair of back-to-back first place finishes in the 100 backstroke. The Manchester Central grad posted times of 1 minute 02.62 seconds and 1:02.77.
A trio of Granite State swimmers is making a splash with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute team. Manchester's Aimee St. Germain (Trinity) posted seventh place finishes in the 1,000 yard freestyle and 100 breaststroke at a Thursday meet. Pinkerton of Derry graduates Joon-Ho Lee of Hampstead and Tyler Faszewski of Hooksett placed at last weekend's Worcester City Championships. Lee, a junior, finished third in the 1,650 freestyle and 800 freestyle relay while classmate Faszewski took sixth in the 1650 freestyle.
- - - - -- - -
RUNNING AWAY: Freshman Alyssa Lambert of Manchester (Salem) won the 1,000 meter race while junior Atoine Gisore of Concord finished first in both the 600 and 3,000 meter races helping Franklin Pierce indoor track team to win last Saturday's Wesleyan Invitational III.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The 24th-ranked Birmingham-Southern football team got the 2012 season off to a strong start with a 41-14 victory against LaGrange College, Saturday, at home in Panther Stadium.
BSC now leads the series 3-2 against LaGrange, with today's win the biggest margin of victory in series history.
The BSC Panthers got on the board less than five minutes into the first quarter when LaGrange turned the ball over on their own 20-yard line and it was recovered by BSC senior Robert Nelson, Jr. Sophomore halfback Marquis Pratt snuck across the goal line on fourth-and-goal to put BSC up 6-0 with 10:19 left in the quarter.
Birmingham-Southern found the end zone again at the 8:56 mark of the second quarter on a 79-yard pass from senior quarterback Jimmy Stainback to senior tailback Shawn Morris. The extra point was good by junior Ryan Laughlin, putting the Panthers up 13-0.
The Panthers added one more touchdown before halftime after a LaGrange interception was called back due to pass interference, giving BSC another chance from the LaGrange 10-yard line. Stainback made the 10-yard run, and sophomore Bee Hall's extra point attempt was good to give BSC a 20-0 lead at the half.
At the end of the second half, severe weather moved into the area and the game was delayed due to lightning for an hour and 45 minutes. The game resumed at 4:15 p.m.
LaGrange scored its first touchdown of the game at the 7:54 mark of the third quarter on a 13-yard pass from Ed Russ to Kent Gibson. Will Jeffcoat's extra point was on the mark to cut BSC's lead to 20-7.
BSC responded a little over a minute later, using only three plays to make it back to the LaGrange end zone and scoring on a 19-yard pass from Stainback to sophomore Sam Vermilyea. Laughlin made the extra point to put the BSC Panthers back up 27-7.
On the next drive, senior defensive back Jeffery Steele intercepted a Russ pass to give the ball back to BSC, and Morris made a 23-yard run on the next play to score his second touchdown of the game and put the Panthers up 34-7 after Laughlin's extra point was good.
With 10:37 left in the fourth quarter BSC scored yet again when junior tailback Joseph Moultrie ran 69 yards and Hall's kick was good, increasing the BSC lead to 41-7.
A seven-yard run by LaGrange's Michael Jones, and a good extra point by Jeffcoat, cut it to 41-14 with 2:29 left in the game for the final points of the day.
Stainback led the team with 89 yards rushing on 17 carries, and was 7-of-12 with 165 passing yards and no interceptions. Morris led with 79 receiving yards.
For LaGrange, Russ was 15-of 37 with one interception and 157 yards. He also led with 70 yards rushing on 17 carries. John John Hill led with 47 yards on three catches.
LaGrange had 18 first downs to BSC's 14, but BSC racked up 253 yards rushing to LaGrange's 156, and 165 passing yards to LaGrange's 157. In total yards, BSC led 418-313.
Sophomore LaPrintence Gunn led the BSC defense with eight total tackles (six solo, two assisted), followed by sophomore Austin Hansard and senior Andrew Shannon with six apiece. Senior Cory Corcoran had two sacks.
Andre Carter led LaGrange with 11 tackles (five solo, six assisted).
The Panthers are on the road next weekend, traveling south to face Huntingdon College in Montgomery in the fourth annual Wesley Cup Game.

As the end of your life started to come into clearer focus with age, what would you do with a personal library collected over the period of a lifetime? The books that you fawned over and then paid for at a favourite bookshop, gifts given for birthdays and Christmas, books borrowed from friends on pains of death to return and then never given back, or dare I even suggest, the occasionally lost library tomes that got lost in the shuffle of life.
Tom Keneally, celebrated Australian author askedhimself the same question of his personal 2500 book library and after judicious advice, decided to donate it all to the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts. What a wonderful idea. Give the books lovingly collected over the years to a school so that the precious resource of literature isn't lost to the rubbish dump or broken apart into meaningless little chunks.
But I wonder if Thomas Keneally wasn't Thomas Keneally, Australian Living Treasure, if his collection would have been treated with such respect and care. I know that many people donate books to the Ottawa Public Library, and they are sold off at bargain prices (sometimes as low as $0.25 a book) rather than being added to the main collection. Often I wonder if it isn't an insult to the deceased who left their book collections behind, hoping that the books would become part of the city collection. Although anyone who bequests the library with their collection must surely know that their precious collection will be torn apart, don't they? Perhaps the best idea, if you aren't a famous, prize winning author that is, and you have a sizable assortment to share with other book lovers, is to find a small school library in which to place your collection.
Obviously I think the best plan is to hurry up and get published, win a few prestigious writing awards and make sure that someone, somewhere will want my collection of books when I eventually go to meet my Maker. So tell me, what are your plans for your collection? Or are you like me, and haven't actually given it much thought – until now!

NEW YORK (AP) — T-Mobile USA swept away its old phone plans over the weekend in favor of Simple Choice, which does away with traditional service contracts but introduces installment plans for phone buyers. Here are some questions and answers about the revamp.
Q: How does this help me?
A: It makes it easier to understand the cost of buying a phone and cancelling service. Basically, you know you'll be paying off the phone over two years, even if you leave T-Mobile. There's no early termination fee, and you don't have to wait to be eligible for a new phone at a discounted price. Also, once you've paid off your phone, your monthly bill declines.
Q: Is it any cheaper?
A: Sort of. T-Mobile's service plans are relatively cheap, and at least in the case of the iPhone, it's not charging that much for the phone. The full price for the 16-gigabyte iPhone 5 is $580, compared with $650 at the other carriers. On the installment plan, you pay $100 down and $20 per month for two years. T-Mobile has been undercutting the bigger carriers for a while, and this is a continuation of that strategy.
Q: Do I still need to pass a credit check?
A: Yes, if you want to get the phone on an installment plan. If you fail, you have to pay the full price up front. You also need to pay in advance for monthly service — the so-called prepaid option — while those who pass a credit check can sign up for monthly billing.
Q: Do I pay interest on the installment plan?
A: No, T-Mobile is basically extending interest-free financing on phones.
Q: Can I buy a phone on an installment plan and move it over to another carrier?
A: No, the phones are "locked" to T-Mobile until you pay them off. You can pay off the phone early with no penalty if you like.
Q: What kind of data plans do they offer?
A: T-Mobile likes to say that all of its plans offer "unlimited" data, but they'll slow down drastically once your phone hits a certain level of usage in its billing cycle. For the basic, $50-per-month service plan, that limit is at 500 megabytes — enough for a frugal smartphone user. For another $10 per month, they give you 2.5 gigabytes. If you add $20 instead, you get true unlimited data service.
Q: Sounds great. What's the downside?
A: T-Mobile's data network coverage is poorer in rural areas. It's the last of the four major carriers to build out an LTE network, which offers higher data capacities and speeds. T-Mobile also doesn't have access to lower frequency bands that help Verizon and AT&T with indoor coverage.

I bought this for my "Spanish Hairdresser"s birthday. I put it on a tote bag and also bought the greeting card. She really loved both. I would have preferred the top of the hairdresser's head in lieu of the client's shoulders. I thought I had it adjusted that way but it's still beautiful!! Thank you!

Welcome to my galleries. I painted exclusively in the 80's, then later fell in love with photography. After many years of doing portraits of families, children, seniors and weddings, I finally slowed down and started challenging myself to look at things around me differently.

Please feel free to send me a message if you need a different size uploaded or have any questions. My work here is for sale and I will be happy to help you in any way.

How long the battery lasts in a phone when you aren't using it is called standby time, and is usually measured in days or, in the case of a battery life champ like the Droid RAZR Maxx, about two weeks.
But the $70 SpareOne emergency phone from Xpal Power, which uses a standard AA lithium battery, claims a standby time of up to 15 years.
Although the phone is a lightweight plastic, it doesn't feel cheap. It's a really pleasing little design, with a curvy two-tone case and a window front and back that lets you see the battery.
The phone has only the barest of features. No text, no Web, just phone calls and a dedicated 911 button. Indicators, like if you have a network connection, are provided by blinking colored lights. It saves a lot of power, but you'll have to memorize what the color combinations mean.
The phone doesn't even come with a SIM card, which you will need before you can use it, although you can make a 911 call using the emergency button even without the SIM card.
The phone is built for a GSM network, which means that in the United States it will work with T-Mobile, AT&T or companies that resell those networks.
SIM cards are cheap. I see them online for less than $10 — or even free — but you still have to buy service. For my emergency phone, I spent $100 for 1,000 T-Mobile minutes, which are good for one year. I top it off annually, which extends my remaining minutes for another year. So after the first year, I can maintain coverage for about $10 a year.
Calls on the SpareOne weren't crystal clear, but they were certainly good enough for roadside assistance to hear where to send the truck.
As for the claim of 15 years standby time, I'll let you know in 2027.

The Houston Dynamo selected five players in the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft held via conference call this afternoon.
With their three picks in the first round, the Dynamo selected forwards Brian Ownby (No. 7) and Karo Okiomah (No. 12), and midfielder Eder Arreola (No. 18). Houston then selected forward Philip Aseweh (No. 56) and home-grown midfielder Daniel Roberts (No. 75) in the third and fourth round, respectively. All players are expected to be invited to the Dynamo's pre-season training camp in hopes of earning a roster spot.
Ownby, a forward from the University of Virginia, scored six goals and added two assists in 18 games last season. A native of Glenn Allen, Va., Ownby and was named second team all-Atlantic Coast Conference in 2011 after earning first-team honors in 2010.

Okiomah, a forward out of High Point University, earned second-team all-Big South honors in 2011 after tallying seven goals and three assists in 20 games. The Austin native was named Big South Player of the Year in 2010 after scoring 12 goals in 16 games.
Arreola, a 20-year-old midfielder from UCLA earned first-team all-Pac 12 honors in 2011 after scoring three goals and four assists. The Chino Hills, Calif. native, who holds both Mexican and United States citizenship, played for the U.S. at the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 championships and has played for the U.S. youth national team at the U-15, U-17, and U-18 levels.
Aseweh, the Dynamo's third-round selection from Liberty University, was named to the 2011 NSCAA South Atlantic Region team after totaling seven goals and eight assists in 20 games. The Navrongo, Ghana native also earned first-team all-Big South honors in 2010 and 2011.
With their final pick of the draft, the Dynamo selected homegrown product Daniel Roberts, from the University of North Carolina – Wilmington. Roberts, a Fort Bend Clements graduate, was one of the first players to sign with the Dynamo Academy in 2007. Roberts played 65 games in four collegiate seasons and tallied 12 goals and 18 assists.
The Dynamo are set to open preseason training on Monday, January 23, with their MLS regular season opener on Sunday, March 11, against Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center.

In attempted preemptive self-defense the Pentagon taped Paul Wolfowitz's interview with Sam Tanenhaus, the author of the Vanity Fair article decried by Rocket Man below. The Pentagon's public relations Web site has posted the transcript of the interview. Click here for the transcript. Here is the relevant passage:
"TANENHAUS: Was that one of the arguments that was raised early on by you and others that Iraq actually does connect, not to connect the dots too much, but the relationship between Saudi Arabia, our troops being there, and bin Laden's rage about that, which he's built on so many years, also connects the World Trade Center attacks, that there's a logic of motive or something like that? Or does that read too much into–
WOLFOWITZ: No, I think it happens to be correct. The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason, but . . . there have always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons of mass destruction, the second is support for terrorism, the third is the criminal treatment of the Iraqi people. Actually I guess you could say there's a fourth overriding one which is the connection between the first two. . . . The third one by itself, as I think I said earlier, is a reason to help the Iraqis but it's not a reason to put American kids' lives at risk, certainly not on the scale we did it. That second issue about links to terrorism is the one about which there's the most disagreement within the bureaucracy, even though I think everyone agrees that we killed 100 or so of an al Qaeda group in northern Iraq in this recent go-around, that we've arrested that al Qaeda guy in Baghdad who was connected to this guy Zarqawi whom Powell spoke about in his U.N. presentation."
In the issue of the Weekly Standard out this morning, Bill Kristol comments that what has occurred is "that Tanenhaus has mischaracterized Wolfowitz's remarks, that Vanity Fair's publicists have mischaracterized Tanenhaus's mischaracterization, and that Bush administration critics are now indulging in an orgy of righteous indignation that is dishonest in triplicate." Kristol's editorial is "What Wolfowitz really said."
The transcript irrefutably establishes that Wolfowitz did not say what he is said to have said. Moreover, everything he did say is scrupulously true and consistent with the Bush administration's stated reasons for undertaking the removal of Saddam Hussein. But should Wolfowitz have given the interview to Sam Tanenhaus knowing it was to be used for an article in Vanity Fair? I'm sure that in retrospect Wolfowitz agrees with Rocket Man.

Christian GroupThink Challenge
A few of the previous posts on the site question why Christian sites don't link to sites that present arguments of skepticism about Christianity. Or why Christians don't more willingly embrace skeptical humor concerning their faith.
For over 25 years, as a pastor in Christian churches, I noticed and (unfortunately and tragically) endorsed a "Christian GroupThink" within the Christian community. I can testify personally that one of the main purposes of Christian community (especially churches) is to build a "fortress" around the believer that attempts to deny them access to free thought, skepticism and atheism/agnosticism. This "fortress" is one of love, or the withholding of it - and emotional/relational punishment (isolation, avoidance, judgement) towards those who would dare "question" the doctrines of faith.
The church has a primary purpose - which has nothing to do with glorifying god or evangelism. Instead, the goal is indoctrination...forcing a group think onto individuals by means of Statements of Faith, creedal confessions, confirmation classes, and worship songs. Conformity to this group think leads to rewards - invitations to leadership, affirmation of value to the congregation or community, befriending by key leaders (maybe even the pastor) and a masonic-lodge type revelation of even deeper truths of faith or gossip about the community.
Most relational and organizational observers recognize group think as a process which seeks to hide - or deny - a fundamental lack of confidence in the group's purpose, belief system, or ethic. It is my observation that group think in the church is pervasive because of the failure of most Christians to believe their own religion. Reason is not a cruel task master, and most of the time most people know this. A Christian who would argue against reason in the name of faith would never get on a roller coaster that just had a hydraulic leak (yeh - it happened at Six Flags in Maryland this weekend). Why? Reason, of course! A logical mind would recognize the context and lead towards a decision that would protect the thinker.
That kind of thinking, however, is discouraged in the church because reason quickly leads to profound skepticism and even agnosticism or atheism. The "reason landmines" are numerous, and the only defense the church has is the "mighty fortress" - not of god - but of group think.
I would love to see a challenge where churches invite atheists, agnostics or other free thinkers to visit their congregations and began a reasonable dissertation against Christian faith. I would almost (almost being the operative word here) pay churches for the opportunity to make presentations and open up for question/answer sessions.
I believe there are more free thinkers in churches than most people would initially guess...but who would want to "come out" about their skepticism when it means that their family would be isolated, mistreated, their kids rejected, and perhaps even extended a "disinvitation" to the church because of their honesty?
Christians whine about the cost of discipleship. The cost of free and skeptical inquiry is much, much greater. Prove me wrong.
I make this challenge...if any visitor to this site reads this blog and wants to invite me to your church or group for a discussion and debate about free and skeptical inquiry, the fallacies of faith, biblical inconsistencies, etc...I will consider the challenge and make contact with you. I can't promise a visit...there are factors that I will explain if you express interest.
Come on...what do you have to lose???

Greetings all, This is my first post.
I currently own a ClimateRight (CR-2550) http://www.climaterightair.com/cr-2550. It is just not powerful enough. I need the heating capacity of the more powerful CR-7000 (cooling=7000BTU/heating=7500BTU) http://www.climaterightair.com/cr-7000, but this model does not have the auto switching controller I need. It has both modes but has to be manually pressed for heating or cooling.
So I guess my first question would be...would i be able to install my own controller (relatively easily) in the more powerful model?
Second and more prefferably...Are there other units that meet this heating/cooling capacity requirement and also have inlet and outlet ports to connect vents to?
Operation requiremtents:
-unit can only be outside
-can only connect to room via 6'' (approximate) diameter duct
I know this might be in the wrong Topic. maybe needs to be in controls section??? but any help would be much appreciated as I need to source something soon.
Thanks for all your help and I am sure glad there is a website dedicated to this stuff!
