Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes that Bayern Munich "deserve" to win this year's Champions League.
The Bavarians have not lifted the trophy since 2001, having lost two finals in the past three seasons, against Inter in 2010 and Chelsea 12 months ago.
Consequently, Rummenigge feels that Bayern have paid their dues and that it would only be right if they beat Borussia Dortmund to the title at Wembley on Saturday week.
"We want to avoid a third final defeat at all costs," the Roten CEO told Sport Bild.
"This is for all of us and the soul of this side...[Bayern] deserve to receive this trophy. The team have worked so hard for it over the last five years."
Having already wrapped up the Bundesliga title with a record-breaking six rounds to go and, with a DFB-Pokal final still to come, Bayern are perfectly primed to record a treble.
Rummenigge believes that if Jupp Heynckes' men pull it off, they deserve to be ranked alongside the side that won three successive European Cups four decades ago.
"This team would go down in history," the former West Germany international enthused. "They would no longer be in the shadow of the team of the 1970s."
Rummenigge also denied that treble success would be make next season impossible for incoming coach Pep Guardiola.
"The clocks go back to zero on July 1 [when the former Barcelona coach officially takes over from Heynckes]," he insisted. "But we can just try to win even more next season!"
It has been reported that Guardiola has already deemed Bayern winger Arjen Robben surplus to requirements, but Rummenigge insists that there is no chance of the Dutchman being offloaded this summer.
"Arjen has a contract with us so the prospect of a farewell at the end of the season is not an issue," he declared.
Rummenigge is also predicting a new contract for France international Franck Ribery, who recently revealed his desire to finish his career at the Allianz Arena.
"We have taken note of his words," he explained. "This is a sign of how well he has done and how he feels here.
"He is a great player and I can easily imagine him extending his contract."
Bayern conclude their Bundesliga campaign away to Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend.

About Travis
My name is Travis, and I have been playing trumpet for 17 years. I have been teaching for 8. I love working with new students, and became more focused on private lessons during my Sophomore year in college. Speaking of which, I earned a Bachelors of Music in Trumpet Performance from the University of Maryland College Park.
While there, I played with the Wind Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra and Jazz Band. I am also a regular performer with the Prince Georges Philharmonic.
As each student is different, so is my technique and teaching method. Generally, I have students work through the fundamentals of the instrument including fingerings, embouchure, breathing and scales. Once mastered, the more difficult obstacles such as range, dexterity, repertoire and endurance are approached. I do not work with a set schedule for s

About John G.Close

I strongly believe in reinforcing the fundamentals of brass playing: Proper breathing, air support, correct embouchure and tongue placement are all crucial elements for the trumpeter to achieve production of a clear and open sound.
Once such sound production has been attained in the lower and mid ranges of the instrument, the capability of the player to produce higher tones increases with proper practice and the help of studies of the overtone series as well as the playing of scales.
Rhythmic and metered playing must also be exercised for the sake of re-enforcing the ability to play in tempo and for rendering unfamiliar rhythm patterns manageable.
In addition, I consider it of paramount importance to coach performers of all levels to "make music" rather than to merely play the notes on the page: Whether the goal be to prepare him or her for solo and ensemble competitions, concert music, jazz studies or the occasional religious service, conveying the significance of everyone's ...

Description du produit
Outdoor air often represents the greatest moisture load to a building. That is why experts agree that pre-teating make-up air with a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) is the most efficient and effective approach at managing it. Munters' award winning DryCool™ Standard System removes more moisture with less energy than any other DOAS by combining Munters advanced desiccant dehumidification technology with packaged refrigeration. The DryCool™ Standard utilizes waste condenser heat to reactivate the desiccant wheel. This qualifies it as an "energy recovery" device using "site recovered" energy to boost the moisture removal capacity of the system at reduced cooling tonnage.
Essentially, the DryCool™ Standard is a packaged DX unit enhanced with an active desiccant wheel to reduce cooling requirements by 30-40%. Since just one circuit provides all the reactivation energy the DryCool™ Standard needs to continuously satisfy desired supply air conditions, these units are also available as split systems, water and chilled water cooled versions. All configurations can include winter heating options utilizing gas, electric, hot water and steam.
When 100% outdoor air is not required, the DryCool™ Standard still out performs other dehumidification systems by delivering drier air while consuming less energy.
Unit installation can be indoors or outdoors. The DryCool™ Standard is available is sizes conditioning up to 16,000 cfm of air.

Exercise is an important part of managing diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2. But it's also something that can present unique challenges.
Seaman High School junior Bryce Simons proves those challenges don't have to keep you out of the game. He fell in love with basektball as a child, and ever since he stepped on the court, he hasn't stepped off - even when a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes could have benched him for good.
Bryce remembers it. He was 6-years old, the summer before he was to start first grade. He got sick and wasn't getting better, so his mother took him the hospital, where they got the diagnosis. It started a routine of checking blood sugar and getting shots.
Bryce says he didn't understand it then, but now, it's part of his routine. With the workout the he puts himself through as a standout basketball player for the Vikings, it's one he doesn't take lightly. He says he checks his blood sugar levels two or three times before practice and again during breaks. A kit with testing supplies and insulin, juice and gum should his blood sugar need a boost is never far away, whether it's practice or a game.
Game time can get a bit tricky. Bryce says the adrenaline rush can make his blood sugar go up, so he'll have to take shots. During the game, levels may fluctuate depending on exertion versus adrenaline.
As long as he pays attention, Cotton-O'Neil diabetes educator Kelli Bradbury, ARNP, says there's no reason Bryce or anyone else with diabetes needs to stay on the sidelines. She says, in general, diabetic patients aren't any different than any other athlete or any other person walking down the street.
Bradbury says exercise is often a first line of treatment for diabetes. It can lower blood sugars and, for Type 2 diabetics who are insulin resistant, make their body use insulin more efficiently. Listening to their bodies during exercise will be their best defense against the activity causing blood sugar levels to drop too low, causing problems. Bradbury says symptoms that is happening would be feeling nervous, jittery, shaky, weak, or even thirsty.
Bradbury says people with diabetes are often fearful of starting an exercise program, due to the potential for blood sugar drops, but she says doctors can work with patients to adjust medications or meals based on when they might exercise.
Bryce and his coach, Larry Lattimer work it out. Bryce lets him know when he needs to come out, and that bag of supplies has a permanent spot behind the bench. Lattimer says the biggest factor is communicating with Bryce, so the coaches know how he feels.
Watching Bryce flourish - he averages 15 points a game, Lattimer says, is an example not just for people with diabetes, but everyone on the team. Lattimer says Bryce refuses to use his disease as a crutch - he deals with it and goes on. Lattimer calls Bryce one of the most competitive players he's coached.
That competitive spirit is helping Bryce win the battle against the opponent he lives with every day - one he says is now a normal part of his life.
"I'll just keep playing see what happens," Bryce says. "Maybe they'll find a cure someday, but I don't mind diabetes one bit."
Bryce does have an insulin pump that he says makes staying regulated on an everyday basis a lot easier, but he doesn't wear it when he plays. He agrees with Bradbury that communicating with doctors and family is key to controlling diabetes.

Programmer looking for freeware tilesets download
Hi, the last few weeks I've been working on a game but I haven't gotten anywhere with the engine yet because I don't have any graphics to test it with. I could really use some graphics for my 2d rpg that I'm making. I need the tiles to be standard 32*32. I was wondering if somone might know where I could find such a download. if anyone knows of any rescources like this, please tell me. I would really appreciate it.
i dont know where you could find any images but you may just want to open up a graphics program like photoshop or something and just create a temporary texture, dont expect to wait on the engine development until you have the graphics. I cant tell you how many alphas or betas I have seen that had horrible graphics simply because the artists hadnt finished the graphics yet.
I never really thought of it that way. You make a good point blake. I think I will do it that way. But if anyone here does know of any rescources like that, i'd still really appreciate it.
hey, thanks for the link Ncarter. It's a big help. I'm already starting to pick out some graphics that I can see being used in my game.

As such, it is overly "pretty" with nice rounded corners (so mac-users don't hurt themselves) and an unsettling predilection for tacking the letter 'i' onto the iBeginning of iThings it doesn't iBelong on. Moreover, it has some fantasic graphics. Many of the graphics collections here are licensed for use only in games that are for Macintosh. Some are public domain. Pay attention which you download.

You need grass, dirt, water tiles?
Go to Photoshop. Fill your tile with green (grass), brown (dirt), blue (water). Then select a lighter shade of the color. Select the Noise filter and apply noise.. Not too much, but enough to add some "texture" to the tile. Boom, done. Easy. Works for sand too.

Dr. John Leake Pitts, a retired pediatrician who during a long career in public health had been the acting Anne Arundel County health officer, died of cancer Wednesday at his Annapolis Roads home. He was 85.
Born in Roanoke, Va., he was the son of John Leake Pitts Sr., a pharmacist, and Mary B. Allen, a homemaker and schoolteacher. As a young man he worked the soda fountain at his father's store. After attending Roanoke College, he graduated from the the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. He later earned a master's degree at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.
Family members said he went though a wartime accelerated program and held a medical degree at age 20. He served as an Army medical officer in Japan from 1948 to 1950. He completed an internship and a pediatric residency at the Medical College of Virginia.
He spent the early 1950s in a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He was assistant physician at the Harriet Lane Home Cardiac Clinic and worked in the infant catheterization lab. He was directed by child cardiac pioneer Dr. Helen Taussig.
"He had a great, deep faith, and he used it in his professional life," said the Rev. Bill Christianson of London, a friend and Church of England canon. "He was a quiet man who had an understated sense of humor."
In 1959, Dr. Pitts was appointed director of the Baltimore City Health Department's Bureau of Child Hygiene. A Baltimore Sun article said his office was responsible for the "protection of mothers and children ... and particularly the many families with young children who cannot afford a family physician." He was also an advocate of child day care and became the city's first director of a Health Department division focused on it.
In 1963, he became chief of maternal and child health at the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. He was frequently quoted in news articles about the benefits of a good diet and immunization against common childhood diseases. He was also an early advocate of intensive care for premature infants and worked closely with the University of Maryland neonatal clinic.
He later joined the Anne Arundel County Health Department. Its former health officer, Frances B. Phillips, recalled him as a "self-effacing man who did not like the limelight." She said that when his superior died in 1988 and Dr. Pitts was named acting health officer for the county, Dr. Pitts said in jest, "Heaven help the citizens."
She said Dr. Pitts was a compassionate physician who was the county's "leading pediatrician for very complicated childhood diseases." He worked closely with nurses in his department and listened attentively to them, she said. He also testified at hearings about the environmental dangers posed by a landfill.
He was at times called upon to work with those addicted to narcotics.
"He had a special place in his heart for people who had led difficult lives and faced hard reality," said Ms. Phillips, who is now the state's deputy health secretary for public health services.
She remembered him as a "very well-read man who was a great conversationalist." She said he remained close with his extended family and "had a sparkle in his eyes when he spoke of his nephews."
Dr. Pitts was an avid crossword puzzle solver. A nephew, David A. Vaughan of Lynchburg, Va., said his uncle had an "eclectic" library and was a fan of detectives Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes. He frequently traveled to London and New York for theater productions and was a devotee of musicals and operetta.
His family said Dr. Pitts drove an aged Mercedes. On one cold Christmas, while en route to a family gathering in Roanoke, he set the heat so high the dashboard melted. On another occasion, his back fender fell off.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. March 24 at St. Anne's Episcopal Church, Church Circle, Annapolis.
In addition to his nephew, survivors include a sister, Helen Pitts Vaughan of Roanoke; and another nephew, Gary M. Vaughan of Lexington, Va.

Dan Groom recently was named the Republic High School boys basketball coach.
Groom, 41, is a graduate of Dayton High School. He's coached basketball for seven years while teaching Spanish, history and journalism. Most recently he coach junior high volleyball at Republic.
His coaching experience includes a year as varsity girls coach at Adrian, Ore., a year as the junior varsity boys coach at Stevenson, a 2A school, and five years as the junior high boys coach at Waitsburg-Prescott in the 2B ranks.
He taught Spanish, history and film production at Waitsburg-Prescott.
"I suffered through to two layoffs at Waitsburg due to poor economy, budget cuts and declining enrollment," he said. "I worked there for a total of four of the last six years."
The two off years he was a substitute teacher, coached and worked as a sports reporter and features reporter for the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin and later the Times of Waitsburg.
Groom likes a free-flowing offense.
"I'm as comfortable facing a zone defense as I am a man," he said. "I find presses have higher risks than returns, as they are generally pretty easy to break if you have even halfway decent personnel. Rebounding is paramount to me.
"Basketball is very much a thinking game, though it's also an effort game," Groom said. "The team that wants it more while keeping its head about it, will win more often than not."
Groom enjoys teaching at smaller schools, where "want to" and discipline can make up for larger talent gaps than they can at large schools."
Although Groom did not play college varsity basketball (he did play intramurals), he was a senior and post for Dayton when it tied for first in its league.
He regularly attended the state B tournament in Spokane, although Dayton never made it to the arena.
"It has always been my dream to get there," he said. "I'm glad the 1Bs are back in Spokane and out of lifeless Yakima."
Groom played for Jay Webber at Dayton. Webber now coaches at North Central High School in Spokane.
"He won a state B championship as a player at Almira/Coulee-Hartline, and as a coach four years after I graduated at Dayton," Groom said. "I am pretty certain he is the only person to both play for a state B champion and coach a state B champion."
At Stevenson, Groom coached under Australian professional player Glen Stump.
"The best advice he gave me was 'Shoot more than anything else you do in practice. You can't win if you can't make baskets.'"
Before becoming a teacher, Groom worked in television after graduating from George Fox University with a communications degree.
"I was the first student to be on-air talent (color commentary for basketball) for George Fox's local cable sports broadcasts," he said. "I made commercials and directed the late newscast at KLEW-TV in Lewiston, Idaho. "
He got his teaching certificate from Washington State University.
When not following basketball, Groom enjoys the Western Hockey League, especially the Tri-City Americans.
"I hate the Spokane Chiefs," he said. "Now that I live up here, I'd love to go up to Kelowna and watch a game. I listen to the Ams whenever I can via the Internet."
The Loup Snowboard Team is having a preseason kickoff meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Loup Loup Ski Bowl's ticket office.
The ski hill is 18 miles west of Okanogan off state Highway 20.
"We will go over the team format and what the season looks like," Gene Shull said. "Our focus is on advanced riding skills, freestyle, boarder cross and alpine racing. We teach skills for riding all conditions and how to responsible riders on the mountain."
Kellie Bolger of Oceanside, Calif., and Noleen Read of Cape Town, South Africa, said they reached Manning Park in British Columbia on Wednesday, Oct. 9, to complete their trek north on the Pacific Crest Trail.
The Chronicle carried a story about the hikers, who met on the trail, in the Wednesday, Oct. 9, newspaper.
Snow and federal officials prevented hikers continuing north on the trail.
The government's failure to pass a budget led to closure of state parks, where signs and agents said if hikers continued they would be arrested for trespass.
Many hikers headed east and then north on U.S. Highway 97 in an effort to finish the trek at the end of the trail in the British Columbia park.
"What a great adventure the road walk was," said Hippie Long Stockings, which is Bolder's trail name. "We made it to Canada on Wednesday. We are so happy to have completed our hike. Washington has been great to us. Such wonderful people here. Thank you for telling our story."
The high school bowling team based at Valley Lanes in Omak starts competition Sunday, Oct. 27, with a home match.
The team, coached by Dale Dunckel, competes in the Central Washington Travel League.
The team bowls at East Wenatchee on Nov. 17, Moses Lake on Nov. 24, back to Omak on Dec. 8, to East Wenatchee on Jan. 12 and finishes at Moses Lake on Jan. 26.
The team's goal is to reach the state tournament Feb. 15-16.
If the government shutdown continues into the winter, you can still ski the Loup.
I understand Loup Loup Ski Bowl manager Sandy Liman received a Forest Service letter saying ski areas on federal land would be allowed to operate.
Ski season is close. I recently spotted some snow higher up the Loup.
USA Today has a Massey Matchups game simulator online that that allows you to pit teams against each other and see a theoretical final score.
You can match any two varsity teams against each other in football, boys or girls basketball, baseball or boys or girls lacrosse and find out who is going to win.
For any two selected teams, the computer model estimates the probability that each team would win the game. Team offensive and defensive strengths are matched up to produce an expected outcome.
The Okanogan County Football Officials Association will be sending Larry Gilman and Larry Schreckengast to postseason playoff games this fall.
Gilman's first-ever state game will be the 1B finals.
Schreckengast has been selected to work the state 2B semifinals.
I learned of the honors at the Liberty Bell at Oroville football game.
I noticed an interesting touch at Oroville during its game with Liberty Bell.
There are large signs with big red numbers on each end of the end zone showing the play clock.
Players and officials can easily see the time left for a play.
Oroville also has the only backboards in the area that I know of that light up at the end of a period. This helps officials know if a team scored before a period ended.
Kara Staggs and Caitlyn Behymer at North Idaho College will get their first taste of collegiate basketball during a scrimmage against Lewis-Clark State College at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at home in Coeur d'Alene.
Following a game against the North Idaho All Stars on Nov. 2 the team three games Nov. 14-16 in Casper, Wyo.
The regular season runs until Feb. 22. The regional tournament is the following weekend in Ephraim, Utah. The national tournament, where NIC lost its first game last year, is March 17-22 in Salina, Kansas.

Dangerous Exotic Pets: Big Cats
Private ownership of tigers, lions, cougars, leopards, jaguars, and cheetahs threatens the animals and the public
Tigers, lions, and other big cat species have exploded in popularity in the exotic pet trade. There are an estimated 5,000 to 7,000 tigers in the United States, but fewer than 400 of them are in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Even when born in captivity and hand-raised, these wild animals retain their predatory instincts. They can (and do) injure and kill people, as evidenced by the hundreds of attacks by big cats in the U.S. in the last two decades alone.
In captivity, big cats suffer immensely from being confined to cages that are magnitudes smaller than the vast distances they typically roam in the wild. Allowing private possession of these animals poses unnecessary and preventable risks to public safety—and to the welfare of the animals themselves.
Threats to big cats
Big cats kept as pets are prematurely removed from their mothers—often within just days of birth—which often denies them proper nutrition and the natural socialization process required for normal development. The cubs very quickly mature to the point where their great strength and wild instincts make them impossible to control, and they are then, more often than not, relegated to live the remainder of their long lives caged in backyards, basements, and garages.

"Daddy, why did that tiger bite my arm off?" — Four-year-old boy, recovering in a hospital after he was attacked by his uncle's pet tiger in Texas
Threats to public safety
Tigers, lions, cougars, and other big cats are efficient predators who have no place as pets in our communities. Tigers are 360 to 720 times more likely to be involved in a fatal attack than dogs. Since 1990, more than 300 dangerous incidents involving big cats have occurred in 44 states. Four children lost their lives and at least 66 others lost limbs, suffered paralysis, were left permanently blind, or suffered other injuries. Sixteen adults have been killed, and scores have been mauled. The animals involved are victims, too—more than 100 have been killed following attacks and escapes.

AUBURN – Clint Myers, who led Arizona State to two NCAA Championships, has been named Auburn softball's second head coach in program history, Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs announced Friday.
In eight years at the helm of the Sun Devil program, Myers took seven trips to the Women's College World Series. Myers captained the Sun Devils to national titles in 2008 and 2011 and made the trip to Oklahoma City seven times in eight years. In his only miss of the WCWS, he took ASU to an NCAA Super Regional. Under his guidance, ASU has averaged 53 wins per season, including 60-plus wins twice.
He became the third coach in Sun Devil softball history to amass 400 victories.
"I am very excited to begin what I expect to be a challenging, rewarding and fulfilling life change with my move to become the Head Softball Coach at Auburn University," Myers said.
"This opportunity to coach with my family and to become part of what I feel is a total community family in the town of Auburn was one I absolutely could not pass up. Thank you for giving me and my family this "Alabama Adventure". We hope that you will enjoy the ride with us for years to come."
The Bismarck, N.D., native has also led his teams to great success off the field, twice being honored in the top 10 percent in APR scores among NCAA softball teams. ASU softball was recognized for the four-year cohort ending in 2010-11 and 2009-10, with a 2011 compiled score of 998.
"When we began our search for a new softball coach, the goal was to find a proven winner who could help us compete for championships," Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs said.
"We could not have found a coach who better fits that criteria than Clint Myers, who has consistently reached the pinnacle of success in college softball. Anytime you can hire a coach who has won two National Championships and been to the Women's College World Series seven out of eight years, it's obviously a huge win for your program. No less important is the fact that Coach Myers' student-athletes have also been consistent winners in the classroom. I am delighted to welcome Coach Myers and his wife, Katie, to the Auburn family. One of the things I learned about Coach Myers during this process is how important family is to him. That will make him a great fit at Auburn."
Prior to his stint at ASU, Myers spent 19 highly successful years coaching Central Arizona College's baseball and softball teams. From 1996-2005, he was the head baseball coach where he took the Vaqueros' to the Junior College World Series twice, winning the NJCAA National Championship in 2002. Myers posted a 406-192 record (.678 winning pct.) at Central Arizona College and earned the NJCAA Coach of the Year award in 2002. From 1987-95,
Myers built a record of 481-43 (.917 winning pct.) as the skipper of the softball team. With softball, he won six national titles including a string of five straight from 1988-1992. He was named the NJCAA national coach of the year on six occasions.
Myers was also selected as the National Softball Coaches Association (NSCA) regional and National Coach of the Year in 1990, 1991 and 1992. Myers was inducted into the NJCAA Softball Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Arizona Softball Foundation Hall of Fame in 2001.
A 1976 graduate of Arizona State, Myers was a member of the Sun Devil baseball team from 1970-73 and played on the College World Series runner-up squads in 1972 and 1973. He was later selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the third round of the 1973 Major League Draft. Myers and his wife, Katie, have two sons, Casey and Corey. They also have three grandchildren; grandsons, Cole and Christian, and granddaughter, Carlee.

Categories: Legal Theory and Jurisprudence
Instructor(s) Huneeus, Alexandra
This course explores the main debates and schools of thoughts within socio-legal studies. The goal is to expose students to the various ways in which social scientists think about law and legal institutions, and how law matters to society, politics and culture. The course is divided into five units. The first unit introduces students to the meta-theories about the origins of law, and of the relation of law to society. The second unit introduces theories of legal behavior: why do people obey, or not, the law? The third unit explores the resolution of disputes, and how actors and the institutions in which they are embedded shape the outcomes. The fourth explores the question of the relation between law and social change: can law be used to shape politics and society? And how, in turn, does societal change affect law? Finally, the fifth unit turns to law beyond the nation-state, exploring the dynamics of plural legal orders above and below the nation-state.
The course is comparative in scope, and takes an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses psychology, political science, anthropology and legal scholarship as well as sociology. Students are encouraged to seek contrasts and commonalities across these various topics and across the differing disciplinary approaches. The course material is appropriate for both advanced undergraduates and graduate/law students, although the reading expectations will be somewhat higher for the latter than for the former. Discussions and assignments on contemporary legal issues will provide opportunities to draw connections between sociological theories and current events.

Silencing the people: Shaheen's newfound mission
March 19. 2014 6:04PM
Scott Brown's political action committee had $153,888 cash on hand at the end of 2013, comprised of money left over from his 2012 U.S. Senate race. Fund-raising for his potential 2014 Senate race began only days ago. By contrast, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen ended 2013 with $3,393,918 cash on hand. Shaheen sports a whopping 22-1 financial advantage over Brown. Hence Shaheen's sudden commitment to banning outside spending in the 2014 U.S. Senate race.
In her 2008 campaign against John E. Sununu, Shaheen had no interest in banning outside spending. And for good reason. She and Sununu ran neck-and-neck in their own fund-raising during the campaign ($8.3 million for Shaheen vs. $8.8 million for Sununu), but she had a huge advantage in outside spending. Outside groups spent $6.5 million to oppose Shaheen in that race, vs. $12.6 million to oppose Sununu, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Two unions alone — the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — spent $2.4 million for Shaheen in that race.
This time Shaheen wants to solidify her advantage before the race even begins. She has already been the target of issue ads from Americans for Prosperity, and she knows that outside groups can make up for Brown's financial disadvantage just as they gave her the edge six years ago. She wants to neutralize them now. So she waxes poetic about the evils of the very same outside money she happily accepted last time (see opposite page).
But contrary to Shaheen's rhetoric (and Brown's own rhetoric from 2012, when he embraced a ban on outside spending), outside spending is not anti-democratic — banning it is.
These outside groups consist of American citizens who have joined together to engage in constitutionally protected political speech. The bans silence people who choose to express themselves in ways other than giving to one of the two nominated candidates.
Shaheen calls her effort to silence outside groups "the People's Pledge." It is really a Silence the People Pledge. Brown was wrong to embrace it before, and he would be wrong to do it again.

Wolfeboro public works garage fire ruled accidental
February 13. 2013 11:00PM
WOLFEBORO - The Jan. 29 fire that destroyed an expensive town snowplow truck and damaged the town's public works garage started accidentally in the trucks' electrical wiring, according to the results of an investigation by investigator Tom Riley of the state Fire Marshal's office.
The plow truck, valued at $160,000, was parked in the DPW garage on Pine Hill Road after it had been on the road the prior evening. A worker reported the fire after seeing smoke billowing from the room shortly after 1 p.m. No one was injured in the fire, but equipment including the plow truck and a sidewalk plow and other tools were destroyed.
The garage sustained serious damage to several bays and the roof.

The West Australian government has flagged the boom state's first deficit in 13 years, sparking calls for a complete review of capital expenditure programs.
In its Mid Year Economic Review, released on Friday, the state's books were tipped to slide into the red by $187 million in 2013/14 with the softening in mining royalties expected to continue.
That would follow an expected surplus for the current financial year of $140 million, down $56 million from budget estimates.
Treasurer Troy Buswell said it had become increasingly evident the WA economy was faced with "structural challenges" in commodity and foreign exchange markets - so much so that it had changed its forecasting methodology.
For instance, the WA government previously assumed the iron-ore price would return to its long-term average within four years but had stretched that out to 10 years, and believed commodity price volatility had become the new norm.
Mr Buswell said he was confident that the looming deficit could be avoided - if revenue projections proved too pessimistic and if spending was curbed - but opposition treasury spokesman Ben Wyatt said it was impossible.
"There's no way he's going to correct it in just one (financial) year," Mr Wyatt told reporters.
Mr Wyatt was also damning of the state government's projected steady rise in net debt over the forward estimates to $24.76 billion in 2015/16 - despite its previously stated pledge to cap debt at $20 billion.
"Troy Buswell has presided over average expense growth of 10 per cent every year that Colin Barnett has been premier," Mr Wyatt said, adding that it was time for the scandal-prone minister to go.
"When a treasurer can stand up during one of the state's great boom times and produce books that forecast a deficit in two years' time, it's time for that treasurer to acknowledge and for the premier to acknowledge that he's not focused on the job, he's more interested in part-time gags.
"I think every Western Australian who will be paying for this set of financial books for a long time yet were expecting a lot more."
Mr Buswell said the higher debt levels were needed to meet the infrastructure and services demands of a growing population, with some 1500 new arrivals in WA each week, and that managing expense growth was a core priority.
But the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of WA's chief economist John Nicolaou said the next WA government - given the state election was set for March - should commit to doing a full review of capital expenditure programs "to ensure the lion's share of the burden of balancing the books isn't left to business".
"Efficiency dividends will only go so far before a complete review of programs is required," Mr Nicolaou said.
"Net debt levels will remain a key challenge facing an incoming government, to ensure WA retains its AAA credit rating and the ability to fund election priorities."
Ratings agencies on Thursday warned that the state was at risk of losing its AAA credit rating due to high debt levels.

Hi neopagan, thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'm so happy to be here. Sounds like we have a similar background of hanging on for a loooong time. About my husband, I'll be happy to respond, as best as I can. His parents were both atheist, therefore he knew nothing else. When dating, religion just wasn't something we talked about (I was so off and on even at that point - it didn't bother me that he didn't have a belief system). He had no problem with the times I wanted to attend church; we both liked the idea of the fellowship and family-friendly activities - he was willing to just go with the flow; but when we both realized that the church we were attending was promoting creationist theory and near-literal interpretation of the bible, we were both sufficiently freaked out to stop going. And by mutual agreement, we made the decision to never go back to any church.My husband is a perfect complement to me - he is extremely laid back and goes with the flow; I'm very passionate and intense. Together we make a great team. I'd describe him as an atheist by default who is not concerned in the least with these matters. I'm the one fascinated with it to the point of near obsession - to him, it's no big deal, it's all he has known, he's totally comfortable with it. I love that he was always willing to support me - and I have to say he admitted great relief at my transformation into atheism.
Thanks! Glad to hear it has worked out well for you both - I love a happy ending!Sadly, I spent a looong time in those religions actually listening and buying in (fundy-lite). My family is still heavily into it, so the struggle now is not going bonkers listening to it. lol
That's most unfortunate, ugh - I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you don't get a lot of flak about it?

Attica uprising figure's death ruled an accident
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The death of the only inmate convicted of murder following the 1971 Attica prison uprising was an accident caused by alcohol and cocaine use, Canadian officials said Monday.
The body of 61-year-old John Boncore was found March 13 in his home on the Adams Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia.
According to an autopsy report by the British Columbia coroner's office, Boncore had an enlarged heart, had recently used cocaine and had a potentially life-threatening blood alcohol level of more than 0.35 percent when he died.
Boncore, a Mohawk Indian who was born in Buffalo, was known as John B. Hill at Attica when inmates took control of the maximum-security prison in rural western New York. Thirty-two inmates and 11 civilian employees died during the five-day siege, including 10 hostages and 29 inmates who died when state troopers stormed the prison's D Yard on Sept. 13, 1971.
In 1975, a state Supreme Court jury in Buffalo convicted Boncore of murder for the beating death of Corrections Officer William Quinn. He was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison.
Boncore, who had denied attacking Quinn, was granted clemency in 1976 by then-Gov. Hugh Carey amid a probe of the state's handling of the uprising. Carey also pardoned seven other inmates convicted of crimes during the riot and dismissed pending disciplinary actions against 20 law enforcement officers.
The coroner's report said witnesses saw Boncore purchase 24 beers throughout the day on March 11. He was last seen alive that night when a taxi drove him home from a known drug house, the report said.
The taxi driver reported Boncore fell down the steps to his basement apartment, but said he was fine and went inside. The autopsy, which concluded Boncore died early on the morning of March 12, showed no significant injury and no sign of foul play.

Scripture: John (NIV) 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Observation: Jesus was preparing his disciples to accept the idea that he would soon be leaving them. From the context one can get the idea that this idea would not be well accepted by the disciples. They had plans for Jesus. They would be part of those plans. But now Jesus is leaving and not taking them with him. He was leaving them behind. His words that this would be good for them was probably hard for them to receive; after all, what could be better than having Jesus among them and being a part of his kingdom? Jesus answered that question: having the Comforter, the Holy Spirit would be better.
Application: Do I appreciate what I have? I do not need to walk to the next town to hear Jesus. I do not have to wait until he visits my church on Sunday to talk with Jesus. I have the same Holy Spirit that was with Jesus living in my life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! There is nothing I will face today that is beyond His power and authority.
Prayer: Lord, you were right, having the Holy Spirit is so much better that what the disciples had in the days of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

STOCKTON - Thunder coach Matt Thomas considered switching goal-tenders until he received a text message from starter Cody Reichard telling his coach he intended to play.
STOCKTON - Thunder coach Matt Thomas considered switching goal-tenders until he received a text message from starter Cody Reichard telling his coach he intended to play.
Thomas relented, and he's glad he listened to his goalie.
Playing for the third day in a row, Reichard put on a sparkling performance by stopping 39 shots and beating the Utah Grizzlies 2-1 Sunday in front of a crowd of 4,033 at Stockton Arena. Harrison Reed scored the game-winning goal on a 5-on-3 power play in the third period as Stockton snapped a four-game winless streak.
Reichard has started all six games since Tyler Bunz was called up to Oklahoma City of the American Hockey League. Jody O'Neill was signed to back up Reichard on Jan. 18 and has made one appearance, and Thomas gave serious thought to giving Reichard a rest and changing things up.
"He basically told me he was going to play, and I like that," Thomas said. "Cody Reichard texted me and said, 'I want the net' and when a goalie does that type of stuff, you listen. It means they're a little bit possessed and a little bit in the zone and playing a little bit angry. I was coaching angry and I think we needed to play angry, and we did. We played with a chip on our shoulder."
Reichard said he looked at it as more of a request than a demand.
"I don't know if I demanded it. I told coach I wanted to play again," Reichard said. "It's kind of common knowledge among goalies that three-in-three is a lot of minutes, and you kind of know a little bit that maybe you won't play all three. I felt like I owed it to the guys, and I was fortunate that (Thomas) decided to go with it."
Reichard (11-7-5, 2.68 goals against average) gave up a power-play goal to James Martin in the second period and nothing else. The Grizzlies pulled goaltender Andrew Engelage in the final minute to give them an extra attacker, a tactic that worked Saturday night when they tied the game with 29.8 seconds left in regulation and won 4-3 in overtime. But Utah failed on Sunday as Reichard held off a flurry of shots in the final seconds.
"I can't say enough good things about the guys," Reichard said. "All the shots they blocked and just the way they cleared out rebounds. They played hard all night."
Reed broke a 1-1 tied with 9:34 left in the game, taking a pass from Maylan and burying his 18th goal of the season and third in two games.
"(Reed) was pretty hot through the weekend. We needed him to be," Thomas said. "I thought Justin Maylan did a real good job the last two nights to get his offense going. He had a couple good looks and they just didn't go in for him."
Martin's goal gave Utah a 1-0 lead early in the second period, and the Thunder tied it with 35.2 seconds left in the second. Ryan Constant earned the 100th assist of his pro career when he sent a long pass to Yannick Riendeau, who had a breakaway with Garet Hunt skating alongside him. Riendeau beat Engelage for his 14th goal of the season.

Free closing reception Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. features music, wine, and hors d'oeuvres. See a photo gallery with more scenes from the Gibby Center with this story, as "related content" at top left beside the story text, or in the "Our Photos" section with the "Music on Main" photo gallery.
Visitors to the Gilbert Perry Jr. Center for the Arts Thursday and Friday will be able to bid on artwork and holiday gifts while helping the center and The Everett Theatre at the same time.
The 6th annual "Art from the Heart" silent auction fundraiser continues during regular gallery hours and ends with a free closing reception Friday evening.
Paintings, photographs, stained glass, jewelry, and other hand-crafted items will be available – some at prices that are a steal -- for your collection, or as unique items for holiday gift giving.
"All the artwork is donated for this event," said Georgiana Trietley, the Everett Theatre board director for the Gibby Center. "It shows that artists in the community are participating to bring the arts to Middletown."
The free reception with the final chance to bid will feature music by classical guitarist Bill Kintzer, wine, and light hors d'oeuvres. Artist Craig Hoagland will drawing pencil portraits or caricatures for a small fee.
How the auction works
To bid in the silent auction, you register your name to receive a number. When bidding, only the number is used so no one knows who has the high bid. You can keep coming back to see if anyone has topped your bid and add a higher bid if you'd like until the end of the reception Friday when the winners of each piece will be announced.
Bidders who aren't able to attend the reception or can't stay until the end will be notified by phone or email if they have won an item.
A 'heart-y' new tradition
As a new feature to the "Art from the Heart" event, the Gibby Center is selling heart-shaped Christmas tree ornaments for $5. You can choose either a plain wooden heart to decorate yourself, or one that has already been decorated by a Gibby Center artist.
The ornaments will be used as decorations in the Festival of Trees event at the center in November. After the festival, you can pick up your ornament to take home.
"We hope people make it part of their family tradition to purchase a heart to put on their own tree," said Carolyn Zeitler, co-director of the Gibby Center's Hudson Contemporary gallery.

Today is being well remembered as the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Reagan outside the Washington Hilton. In my second Age of Reagan volume I offer the following observations:
The shooting and near death of President Reagan on that March afternoon provides another occasion for reflection on the radical contingency of human affairs and for counterfactual "what-if" speculation. What if Winston Churchill had been killed when he was struck by a taxi on Fifth Avenue in New York in 1932? What if Oswald had missed his target in Dallas? Most such speculations are ultimately fatuous, but in the case of Ronald Reagan one can speculate with confidence that the "Reagan revolution" as it came to be known would not have been consummated under the presidency of George H.W. Bush. . .
One of the quips Reagan scribbled on a note pad after waking up after surgery was Winston Churchill's famous line from his autobiography My Early Life that "there is no more exhilarating feeling than being shot at without result." But the bullets missed Churchill. While Reagan survived his bullet, it was not without "result." In addition to the severe pain of his wounds (whose treatment required strong medication including morphine), Reagan contracted a staph infection in the hospital that was as life threatening as the bullet wound. He had to be placed back on oxygen and given powerful antibiotics. Three days after the shooting House Speaker Tip O'Neill was the first outsider to visit Reagan in the hospital. "He was in terrific pain, much more serious than anybody thought," O'Neill said. In an extraordinary moment, O'Neill, in tears, knelt next to Reagan's bedside, held the president's hand, and recited the 23rd Psalm with Reagan in prayer.
Although Reagan returned to the White House after 13 days in the hospital, his working hours were severely curtailed for weeks. Al Haig, one of Reagan's first visitors back at the White House, said "I was shocked when I saw him. He was a shell of his old self." It would be two months before he worked a full day. His personal physician said that he didn't think Reagan fully recovered until October, seven months later. Reagan never mentioned his discomfort. His only complaint was that he wouldn't be able to ride a horse for a while.
The White House staff never made any conscious decision to downplay or mislead the public about Reagan's condition, as was the case after Woodrow Wilson's stroke in 1919. It was understood that the uncertainty over a diminished president would be intolerable. Reagan's own jauntiness–his "courage under pressure," as the pundits were quick to pronounce–bestowed on him a heroic quality that would have been foolish to traduce by officially deeming him disabled from his job. Senator Pat Moynihan, who was present in the White House on November 22, 1963, wrote a few days after the shooting: "In the history of the office has any man ever so triumphed over danger and pain and near death? We are surely proud of him." Even The Nation magazine, not ordinarily friendly to Reagan, wrote: "[Reagan's] resilience provided a brief celebration of the tenacity of life and a reassuring glimpse at an appealing aspect of Ronald Reagan's character. . . One half-expected to read upon awakening from the anesthesia he had quipped, 'Where's the rest of me?'" Certainly the nation was better served by the hope of his recovery rather than the worry of the continuity of his administration.
Somewhere in the back of everyone's mind was the memory of the national tragedy of 1963, and the day after Reagan's shooting the nation breathed a sigh of relief that it had averted a JFK-style nightmare. In fact Reagan's shooting would turn out in the fullness of time to be the exact inverse of the JFK tragedy. JFK looms large in our mind because he was, as our second-youngest president, the youthful tragic hero, cut down before he could achieve his potential. Reagan, our oldest president, having survived the assassin's bullet, would go on to achieve his full potential, and become the conquering hero of the Cold War. (Reagan's later Alzheimer's Disease, taking him away from the public years before his physical death, elevated him also to the status of tragic hero, which is one reason why his passing in 2004 recalled the memory of JFK for so many Americans.) That such a prospect was possible was understood at the time. The Washington Post's Haynes Johnson wrote that "Reagan's survival alone was proof enough that the country's luck had turned for the better."
There's much more about the whole thing and its aftermath in Chapter 4, but that's enough for this morning.

I attended Dave Ramsey's EntreLeadership simulcast last April. There is another one on Sept 30 (yes, just a few hours from the time I published this blog post), and I encourage you to attend if you can.
One of the tips from last April that impacted me the most deals with the question of when entrepreneurs should start planning for key hires. Dave's advice boiled down to this. "Start planning months before you will need the person." Huh? That may sound bizarre if you've never been with a startup. But here is why that advice spoke to me in a really powerful way. I was a founder at my last company and helped grow the firm to more than 100 people around the world. Many of the company's leadership wore more than one hat during that growth and there were many times when I thought "I sure wish I had someone to do this job for me." The following pattern tended to repeat. I'd put off spending the money to make a hire until not having the person was unimaginably painful. Small business entrepreneurs like to be careful with cash flow, right? Sort of makes sense. But then I would rush into it. I might not have truly thought about what role I really needed to fill. And either way, I'd find myself in a pretty compressed timeframe of wanting to find someone ASAP since I had allowed the problem to become critical. That often led to the first person I hired or the first role I created being less than the perfect fit.
It turns out I wasn't alone in making that mistake. Dave shared that this cycle is incredibly common with small businesses and that it can often take 2-3 hires to find the right mix of person/role that meets everyone's needs. He also shared that companies tend to do a lot better on the first try when they are deliberate about planning for key hires months in advance. Is that even possible? Yes and no. No, the person you are thinking about 'now' may not be available 6 months from now when the pain is so great that you're finally willing to part with your cold hard cash and extend an offer. But, the act of going through the process tends to create much more clarity about what role you are really trying to fill and what skills/background will be most important. He also stressed that hiring a person who fits your companies culture is a heck of a lot more important than hiring a person who matches the 'skills' you are looking for at a perfect level. But that's an entirely different discussion that I'll save for another post.
Perhaps going through this process is akin to needing to get burned by a stove before you learn how hot it is. On the other hand, my kids never did get burned by a stove and they seem to understand. So, here's my hope for you. Don't get burned on this particular stove. Don't put off hiring key people until the pain is urgent and critical. Taking that path is likely to burn you. I have the scars to prove it.
P.S. Try to attend the September 30 simulcast if you can. Or check out Dave's book titled "EntreLeadership". No, I don't get a cut. :)

Ian Cummins has crossed more than half the country seeking answers and telling the story of his brother's life.
Through the one hundred days of the Atlantic to Pacific journey, the purpose of Ian Cummins' quest to grieve, to understand and to share his brother's story has evolved.
"This walk has shown me it's OK to accept that I will never know the answers," Cummins said. "I could walk around the world and not know the answers to these questions."
Cummins' 20-year-old younger brother, Ryan, killed himself last November. Cummins left Virginia Beach, Va., in March and is walking the country to cope with the loss and to raise money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. By the time he reaches San Francisco in September, he hopes to have reached others with a message of openness and understanding.
People who suffer from mental illness need to have the freedom to discuss it without fear of repercussions, Cummins said. "It's a scary place when you feel all alone. You feel even more alone when you try to find people to share this with and you get criticized."
It's easy to find the cold statistics on mental illness, Cummins said, but he is armed with a story about a person whose life did not benefit all those who knew him.
"What you saw on the outside was not what he was feeling on the inside," the 23-year-old Cummins said. "Inside, every day was a struggle for him. … He saw darkness in the present, so he saw darkness in the future."
"He had a life, he was an individual. Suddenly when you look at that, you don't just see the illness anymore." Ryan was studying at the University of Pittsburgh to become a software engineer. He would be in his sophomore year.
"It's easy to forget the individual, to forget the person. You'd never see a cancer patient as being the cancer. It's simple to say that, but it's harder to get people to think it."
While passing through Kansas, Cummins was joined by his brothers' two best friends, Nick Rogers and Jake Lusardi. The trio pushes lightweight, three-wheeled carts loaded with supplies to make the multi-day treks between towns as the population thins out in the west.
The trip has been a surprise in many ways, the biggest being the graciousness and caring of strangers. A man he met in Kentucky acts as his press agent, contacting media outlets and mental health advocates along his route. Strangers offer room and board. They offer to give him a ride to the closest town when the weather gets gnarly.
His only concession is that they agree to drop him off at the spot he was picked up. Every step needs to be made, even it if requires contacting the local police departments to offer an escort across an automobile-only bridge.
"I'm just beyond amazed at the great people across the world," he said. It seems the world is such a terrible place all the time, but he's learned "the good truly does outweigh the bad."
While in Dodge City the walkers were put up in a hotel by Compass Behavioral Health, the southwest Kansas mental health service organization. Cummins met with employees and leaders of Compass before heading out to Cimarron, Monday.
The number people who have been inspired to share with him their stories have been surprising, too. Cummins does not shy away from the details of his or his brothers' struggles. It's a glimmer of hope, people will talk, but maybe not be the first to talk.
"How are we going to be move forward if we don't acknowledge it fully. If the way we deal with mental health can be made better through a story, then I can only hope my brother's life and story will help those that struggle," Cummins said.
He wants people with mental illnesses and their loved ones to know: "You're not alone no matter how alone you feel or how dark a place you're in, you're not alone."
With each step, with each person he meets, he hopes to create a ripple to erode the stigma surrounding mental health.
Cummins updates a Youtube channel and his website at www.ianwalksamerica.com. Anyone who is interested in donating to his cause can do so through the website. All donations are handled by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

OSEE/Documentation by view
OSEE consists of an number of elements, which are described individually at wiki.eclipse.org/OSEE#Documentation.
However, one interacts with OSEE using a number of Eclipse views.
This section of the OSEE Wiki will be developed to describe these views and the common actions that are performed from them.
The assumption is made that OSEE's ATS (Action Tracking System) will be used to provide lifecycle management. If you do not wish to use ATS then only some of the views described are relevant.
Essential concepts
An Artifact is a "thing" that is stored in OSEE - a requirement, a design document, a test plan, a schematic, a diagram, etc. OSEE is configured by an organization to have known types of Artifact.
Each type of Artifact has a particular set of Attributes - the information that is pertinent to that sort of thing. All Artifacts have a Name attribute but other Attributes may vary, e.g. description, units, safety criticality, and rationale are applicable to some Artifact types but not others.
The power of OSEE is in the fact that Relations can be used to specify how Artifacts relate to one another. This allows, amongst other things, traceability from requirements into design, implementation, and testing. OSEE is configured by an organization to have known sorts of relations between Artifact types. A warning is displayed if one attempts to create a relation between types for which a relation has not been configured.
All work in OSEE is carried out on a branch. Development can be thought of as being like a tree. The trunk, called System Root branch in OSEE, is not visible to most users and is just there for the major branches to connect to.
Major branches are independent pieces of work, which may be separate products, product families, projects, etc. These branches then have their own sub-branches. At some level down the tree, users will have development branches on which they do their day-to-day work. These branches belong to the user(s) working on them and are not part of released development until they have been "committed" back to their parent.
