DeKALB – Northern Illinois left tackle Ryan Brown eagerly awaits defensive linemen with elite quickness and versatility in the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl against Florida State.
Before he could tangle with the Seminoles, however, Brown first had to conquer a speedy metabolism.
ESPN graphics will identify Brown by his hometown, St. Charles, and his 6-foot-6, 283-pound frame during its telecast one week from tonight. What that data won't quite capture runs parallel to the Huskies' banner season.
Brown's rise from walk-on to national TV custodian of quarterback Jordan Lynch's blind side begins with toil and ends with routine consumption of chocolate protein shakes. There is plenty of resolve on the side.
"I just sat down and made sure starting was one of my goals and a top priority," Brown said. "Worked out, ate anything I could and just came in fighting to get that spot in camp."
Huskies coach Rod Carey inherited Brown when he joined the program as an assistant to Dave Doeren in 2011. Earlier this month, Carey was elevated to head coach when Doeren accepted the same position at North Carolina State after leading the Huskies to a 12-1 record and a second successive Mid-American Conference championship.
Carey remained in his earlier role as offensive line coach during bowl preparation, so his history with "Brownie", a redshirt sophomore, wasn't soon forgotten. Same for the season-ending broken tibia left tackle Tyler Loos suffered on Nov. 14, prompting Brown's move to the other side of the line.
Like Brown himself, the story starts on the slim side, then builds substance.
"Brownie came here as a walk-on. He was dripping wet, I think, if he was 235 [pounds]," Carey said. "I mean, he wasn't nothing. He's worked his tail off to get where he is, and he ends up most of the season splitting time over at right tackle and playing pretty well, and then Loos goes down. Now he's the starting left tackle. I think he's excited. Obviously, kind of everything speaks for itself."
Brown's older brother, Patrick, dares to say more. A fellow St. Charles North alumnus, Patrick Brown often tells Ryan how lucky he is. That was well before the Huskies became the first MAC team with a BCS bowl bid.
After graduating from Central Florida as an offensive lineman, Patrick Brown played with a handful of NFL teams. His stops included 2009 training camp with the Carolina Panthers and a seasonlong stint as a Minnesota Vikings' backup in 2011. Brown was a casualty of the Vikings' final rounds of cuts in September and signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this month.
Once the Huskies arrive in south Florida – they are set to fly there Wednesday morning – the Browns will be reunited. At some point, Patrick plans to repeat to his brother the reasons he is already ahead. He can't stress it enough.
"Him being able to play right side and now left side is huge," Patrick Brown said. "I tell him that all the time. I never did that in college and I regret not being able to do that. He is helping himself out immensely. He's doing a great job and it's a skill that people really talk about when they look at you down the road."
Ryan Brown appreciates the praise before ultimately shrugging it off.
"Same skill set, just different hand motion and a little bit different footwork," he said.

Posted on 10/26/2011 5:56:13 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Wednesday that the Occupy Los Angeles encampment outside City Hall "cannot continue indefinitely" and has asked city officials to draft restrictions limiting when people are allowed on city property.
"I respect the protesters' right to peacefully assemble and express their views," Villaraigosa said. "City officials have been in a continuous and open dialogue with the organizers of Occupy L.A. However, the protesters must respect city laws and regulations, and while they have been allowed to camp on City Hall lawns, that cannot continue indefinitely."
A spokeswoman for the mayor said he has also instructed city officials to begin drafting a plan to identify another location for the demonstration.
In an interview Wednesday, the mayor said county health inspectors recently visited the encampment and expressed concerns over the cleanliness of the camp. In addition, the demonstration is hurting the citys lawn and trees.
"The lawn is dead, our sprinklers aren't working ... our trees are without water," Villaraigosa said.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
But, but, I thought just a couple weeks ago he welcomed them with open arms.
It appears that the Mayor wants to get the whole Council on the hook for any evictions. If so, then that's smart politics.
"The lawn is dead, our sprinklers aren't working ... our trees are without water," Villaraigosa said.
Talking about Michelle's garden?
he can send some MECHa thugs down there to clean the place out, then claim hispanics were under-represented at the demonstration.
My son says, don't do it! They might like it!
Aw, dang, you know the hippies will try it again, and get addicted.
The city should send them to timeout at the WH.
Let them drink Margaritas. Viva Aztlán!
Focus groups are indicating a lot of negativity for OWS antics.
Liberal mayors are starting to take action to wind this down so it doesn't hurt them in the next election cycle, but they'd still like to find a way to spin this to their advantage.
Might get a little touchy there. A lot of them are the cream of the scum, you know, child of some self important Hollywood pervert, state legislator, LA council member, etc.
I wonder what spark is going light the fuse to turn all these OWS protests into riots.....
Once one goes off.....many more will follow
polls are going south, mayhaps.
Only if they are illegals , may they continue indefinitely.
Typhus, or snow, depending on environment.
It is going to be an interesting disease vector, in any case.
He should have thought of that before kissing their butts. What does he think occupy means?
TREES without WATER??!!!!
The problem for the "occupiers" is that they picked
cities with liberal administrations who are now having
to come down on them to keep their jobs.
And then get free tuition to college.

Look, whether you're coupled up or single, Valentine's Day is pretty much bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of love and appreciating your significant other and all, but on V-Day it's next to impossible to do so without getting all stressed out and, worse, if you're single it's just a huge, society-wide reminder that you're all alone.
And forget going out to eat on Valentine's. Even if you've managed to think far enough ahead to get reservations, it seems like every single place is ridiculously crowded and you'll be elbow-to-elbow with the most annoying people on earth: couples in love. Besides, who are we kidding? There is no way that the experience can match the load of expectations that come with Valentine's the way a thrift store mattress comes with a horde of bed bugs.
So I say, to hell with it. Stay in. And if you're not up for cooking yourself and/or your honey a prize meal, order take-out. Here are a few places I recommend calling up for an anti-Valentine's dinner. Don't forget to light a candle or two as you unwrap the plastic bags and open the styrofoam.
Besides, who are we kidding? There is no way that the experience can match the load of expectations that come with Valentine's the way a thrift store mattress comes with a horde of bed bugs.

They've been around since "2000" was a sign of the future, and they're still just as good as ever. A cup of delectable pho, a plate of egg rolls, maybe a little banh, or, my favorite, the vermicelli and pork with a cup of fermented fish juice and Sriracha sauce. Whatever you order, it's almost always ready by the time you drive over.

There are few things better than a pizza at home while the rest of the world goes crazy all around you. Golden Crown makes their pies with house baked crust and fresh, hydroponically grown ingredients. You can order online and maybe grab a loaf of freshly baked green chile cheese bread while you're at it. And they always throw in a few of their excellent biscochitos to boot.

Albuquerque's oldest Indian restaurant is also one of its best. Chances are that it will be packed on Valentine's night, so no matter what your romantical situation is, you can't go wrong with brown bagging it. A saag paneer, a sweet lassi, and thou, my love.

Chinese take-out is the best, isn't it? And ABC should be on anybody's list for pick up. Its Heights location is pretty old school, and maybe a bit run down, but the food is top notch. There's no website, so plan ahead and swing by for a take-out menu before the crowds hit.

PICTURES: Photos of the top 15 coolest golfers
What makes an athlete cool? Grace. Modesty. Integrity. Making his own style. Zigging when others zag. The nonchalance and the confidence to do things his way and not worry about the reaction. That is why pro golf has the coolest athletes. PGA Tour golfers check their egos at the first tee. They fashion their own style and appearance. They never react with choreographed celebrations. They police their own game. They're honest all the way to -- and through -- the scorer's tent. And each one is his own man. But which pro golfer is the coolest? It was difficult, but we've whittled a list of dozens of sweet singers to our top 15 ranking of coolest golfers. (Sorry Tiger.) Enjoy.

Kitchen science experiments urged
Parents should encourage children to cut up organs bought at the butchers and conduct chemistry experiments in the kitchen to spark their interest in science, according to a headmistress.
Experimenting with food dyes, growing cress, dissection and soaking eggs in vinegar are all science-related activities families can do together at home, Jo Heywood, headmistress of Heathfield School, a private girls' school in Ascot, Berkshire, suggested.
Speaking as children across the country prepare for the first week of the new academic year, Ms Heywood said that parents can help to foster a child's interest in science by exposing them to it from an early age.
Parents should encourage children's interest in science by carrying out experiments in the kitchen, a headmistress said
Children have inquiring minds and should be able to find things out and ask questions, she said.
"Parents shouldn't be frightened of science, there's so much out there that they can do."
Ms Heywood suggested that mums and dads can start by using the right words for parts of the body - such as the oesophagus - to children as young as three or four.
"When they ask 'why is the sky blue?', say 'let's go and find out together'. Don't be frightened to admit you don't know all the answers. It can be fun to find them out together."
The headmistress urged parents to go to the library, search online or ask teachers for ideas for experiments they can conduct at home, including dissection.
A local butchers or supermarket should have a heart they can buy to use, she said.
"If they are old enough, given a child a pair of scissors and let them cut it up and name the parts. Use big words like 'ventricle'."
Families could also conduct experiments with pureed red cabbage and water, adding different ingredients such as salt to see what colour the solution turns to.
"You can use different highly coloured beetroot and petals and extract the colour to see what results you get."
If youngsters have conducted these types of experiments at home, when they come to study pH indicators in chemistry at school it will not be frightening, or a difficult idea, Ms Heywood said.
"They could make their own lava lamps, or put eggs in vinegar and leave them for three days and then see how high they can bounce them," she added.
"There is stuff you can do in your kitchen that shouldn't frighten parents and be great fun."
Children who do not want to conduct an experiment should not be forced, Ms Heywood said, but she added that a number of youngsters, if asked whether they want to cut up a heart will say no, but then be very interested in it.
Ms Heywood's comments come amid a continuing drive by the government and industry to encourage young people to study and science and maths-based subjects.
A new national curriculum is also being introduced to schools in England this term and ministers have said that the new science curriculum will focus on scientific knowledge with more practical work and a greater emphasis on maths.

I got this rare little SMI alarm clock very cheap at a flea market. It has all the elements of a 50's look to it, colour, style, face...The logo is a cool red rooster above SMI in big letters. I am unsure if it is the same maker but SMI also made a tool for etching, I believe, as my father did an etching course and one of the things he used was a tool made by SMI. Help on this is most welcome, thanks!

An experimental documentary which has at its heart a poignant character study of a 17 year-old lesbian living in Newcastle, England, CLOSER innovatively explores the process of documentary filmmaking and boldly challenges traditional forms of storytelling. Produced without a script and in close collaboration with the subject, Annelise Rodger, the filmmaker presents a hypnotizing array of montages and fictive sequences to introduce the day-to-day happenings of this extraordinary person. From the streets of Newcastle � where we find Annelise speaking frankly to the camera about her experiences as a young lesbian � to the emotionally charged reenactment of her coming out to her mother, this highly original film provides a rare auto-portrait where fiction and documentary collide. In the end what emerges is not only a remarkable encounter with a young woman, but also a story that has broader implications about being young, being at the cusp of adulthood, and finding one's identity.

Moxa ICF-1150I-M-ST
Industrial RS-232/422/485 to Fiber Optic Converter, ST Multi-mode, with 2kV 2-way Galvanic Isolation
Industrial RS-232/422/485 to Fiber Optic Converter, ST Multi-mode, with 2kV 2-way Galvanic Isolation
- Features
Features and Benefits
- 3-way communication: RS-232, fiber, and RS-422/485
- Rotary switch to change the pull high/low resistor value
- Extend RS-232/422/485 transmission up to:
• 40 km with single-mode
• 5 km with multi-mode
- 3-way isolation protection (for "I" models only)
- -40 to 85°C wide temperature models available
- C1D2, ATEX, and IECEx certified for harsh industrial environments
Three-Way Communication
The ICF-1150 series support 2 serial ports, with a DB9 connector for RS-232 communication and a removable terminal block for RS-422 or RS-485 communication. The 3 ports (2 serial ports and one fiber port) are completely independent. When an ICF-1150 converter receives data from any one port, it will send the data out through the other 2 ports. For example, once the ICF-1150 converter receives a command from the remote master through the fiber port, it will convert the signal and send the command through the RS-232 and RS-422/485 ports at the same time. If the user is monitoring a system running on an RS-485 network, there is no need to use an additional RS-232 to RS-485 converter to connect the laptop computer's serial port to the RS-485 bus.
Rotary Switch for Setting the Pull High/Low Resistor
The RS-485 interface supports multi-drop or daisy-chain connections, which system engineers will use to connect serial devices such as meters, RTUs, and readers, together on the same bus. Since the number of serial devices on the same bus will cause the impedance of the data line to increase, the ICF-1150 allows users to tune the pull high/low resistor. Just rotate the switch to the appropriate value without removing the ICF-1150 from the DIN rail.

Plateful of Characterization by Andy Scheer

This is so interesting! I love personality stuff and never would have thought sandwiches and bread showed anything, but, boy, do they!
Andy, do you have links for those studies?
- April 3, 2012 at 10:23 AM
- Cheryl said...
I love this type of information too. One of my favorite writers is also a great cook. Food makes its way into every one of her books. Sometimes, it's almost like a character itself.
- April 3, 2012 at 11:59 AM
- Heather Day Gilbert said...
Hilarious! And I love the repetition of the author's roast beef on rye/green tea/blackberry pie combo. Definitely gives a clue to the character.
But now I'm wondering what kind of personality a tuna sandwich on wheat indicates...
- April 3, 2012 at 1:44 PM
This is what the Hellmann's survey said about tuna people:
Tuna Salad: Tuna salad sandwich eaters are generally aggressive and
achievement-oriented. They are natural leaders and driven to succeed in both work and personal relationships. The best words to describe those who prefer the tuna salad sandwich: competitive and successful. They are most romantically compatible with those who prefer egg salad and others who also like tuna salad.
Take that and factor in what the British researcher said about wholegrain bread.
Be sure to take it with a grain of salt.

And now…I am completely overthinking dinner. Thanks for the chuckle, Andy.

What about the PB&J crowd?

- Diana said...
Davalyn, I am with you on this one :-)
What a great blog!
- April 3, 2012 at 6:35 PM
Just learned of a corollary study on the Dagwood sandwich -- sponsored by JC Dithers Research -- that shows that folks who prefer to heap as much as they can find on their bread are generally bumblers. Slothful, they are frequently late for work and can be found napping on the couch, sleeping at their desks, or dozing behind the newspaper. They generally marry good natured but dizzy blondes who avoid carbohydrate-laden indulgences.

One more thought about tuna people: I think you have to keep your eyes on these suspicious characters. There's something fishy about them.

As a fledgling history blogger, I'm conflicted about whether or not to keep posting about Glenn Beck's ongoing historical shenanigans. On the one hand, it makes for great blogging fodder. It's timely, controversial, and relates to fascinating questions about the way that historical memory intersects with contemporary politics and culture.
On the other hand, the fact that it does intersect with contemporary politics and culture makes me leery of it. I don't want this blog to turn into another current events soapbox.
Let me therefore offer a possibly unconvincing qualifier. I'm about to say some rather unkind things about Glenn Beck, but my motives here are not political, and I'm not trying to score any ideological points. I'm not interested in doing so, and even if I were I doubt that either his ratings or his credibility would suffer due to the online rantings of an obscure adjunct professor of history. Indeed, I hope that my own political inclinations are a mystery to most of you, since this is not intended to be a political blog.
Is Beck's engagement with history on his show important? I think it is. You might denounce him as a demagogue, as a blowhard, or as a laughing stock, but the unavoidable conclusion is that a lot of people listen to what the man has to say. After he plugged George Washington's Sacred Fire, its sales on Amazon skyrocketed. In fact, when I searched for it to insert the link, its name appeared as a search suggestion as soon as I typed "George W," despite the vast number of books on Washington that are out there. Its sudden popularity seems entirely owing to Beck's endorsement, since this is a massive book from a relatively obscure publisher, written by an author without a track record of popular publications on the founding, and containing conclusions at considerable variance from the findings of most historians.
If Beck can send a history book to the top of Amazon's bestseller list, then his remarks can potentially shape the way that a lot of people think about the past. And to be frank with you, I think that's a problem—not because Beck's historical interpretations are ideologically driven, but because he seems to be remarkably ignorant of basic historical knowledge.
In fact, he doesn't seem to understand what constitutes general historical knowledge and what doesn't. On May 21, he told his audience that he intended to "show you some of the examples of where history is just wrong." He then asked, "The New Deal — how many of us grew up in households that said the New Deal saved America, OK? All did. Now that you're learning something about the New Deal, did the New Deal save America?" Why he's convinced that this is some type of arcane knowledge that's been lost to the ages is entirely beyond me. Both of the survey textbooks I used while teaching introductory survey courses last semester flatly stated that the New Deal did not end the Great Depression. So does academic historian David Kennedy's Freedom From Fear and any number of other books.
On the same show, Beck asked his audience, "How many of you had heard of George Whitefield before, what was it, last week or the week before?" He then noted that only three or four had. This is somewhat astonishing, since Whitefield is hardly an obscure figure in either historiography or in general surveys of early American history. If Beck and his audience were unaware of Whitefield's existence or the New Deal's shortcomings, the problem is not that history is being lost or that historians are engaged in some type of cover-up, but rather that they should have paid more attention in high school.
Similarly, in a May 28 piece, Beck discussed the Wilson administration's anti-German propaganda and curtailing of civil liberties during WWI. He then claimed, "This history of the country has been so erased, we've been searching for days on images, pictures, anything on all of this stuff." Again, none of this information has been ignored or neglected by historians or teachers. He and his staff would have found what they were looking for in any decent textbook, or even online; I've never had trouble finding visual representations of WWI propaganda on the internet for use in my lecture slides. Perhaps Beck needs to fire his research staff and hire some fourteen-year-old who's familiar with Google.
Beck's ignorance, though, doesn't prevent him from speaking his mind or even from presenting himself as an expert, as evidenced by his recent remarks about the Dead Sea Scrolls. This segment possibly set a broadcasting record for the highest number of inaccurate statements made within a short period of time. After chiding his staff or not knowing what the scrolls are, he claimed that the scrolls were hidden away after the Council of Nicaea (they predated the council by centuries), said council having been organized by Constantine in order to build an army (it had nothing to do with an army) and resulting in death sentences for heretics (nope) and the formulation of the Apostle's Creed (ditto). This is not just a slip of the tongue or a case of misspeaking; this is buffoonery on an epic scale.
And yet this is the guy sending history books to the top of the bestseller list, presenting regular history segments on his show, garnering honorary doctor of philosophy degrees, and assuming responsibility for educating America. I don't doubt the man's sincerity or his patriotism, but if he's going to keep up this history bit, then he desperately needs to be better informed. If the blind lead the blind, it's been written, both will fall into a pit. And just for the record, that's not from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Avion en papier
Origami Instructions Free Online Picture also shows the results graphically of moving away from the 'purest' form of Origami in each one of the eight directions. In some cases I have marked the art as 'open-ended', for example paper-cuts.
Origamie facile
By this I mean that we no more have a shut down system typical of Origami in which a procedure exists to create a model and can return to the starting point. It is arguable that it is the closed-system through which can some- how break, this is the real characteristic of Origami. ShapingRegular figures such as triangles, pentagons are well set up for Origami.

Uchiyama is reported as getting a patent in 1908 for 'KOKO'. style origami which appears to be the same in concept. Japanese books are packed with slitting to achieve ears or a tail or even legs. Perhaps one of the most celebrated examples of theme 'slits to avoid folding' is in Fred Rohm's Festival pony in which 2 cuts are made, one for the ears and the other to provide enough points for the legs. Rohm folded his Circus pony without cuts but the technique is then much more complex. Thus we have 2 motives for cutting appearing here; one to create
new opportunities and the other to avoid the complexities of a model achieved solely by folding.

The cutting out of holes and so on. to indicate eyes and so forth is sometimes found in Japanese books and we are obviously dealing with a approach which is becoming open-ended. When we fold in a symmetric way to prepare our paper for cutting the folding has obviously become secondary (2). Honda has called this kind of paper-craft Mon-Kiri (which means crest-making). The particular last step in the slitting or cutting is paper-cutting, some of the finest examples are probably from China and plainly here we have an open-ended Origami Owl Instructions Talent. Supporting A way of moving away from the 'pure' central form is supporting or adding display mechanics to the models. In its simplest form organic beef use glue, staples or 'blue tac' to hold an auto dvd unit in the desired pose and position. Or we may use wiring or card. One of the most unusual form of 'display mechanics' that I am knowledgeable about is by Toyoaki Kawai.

Within a corner of the Sustenance Industry Pavilion at EXPO', electricity was used to make Origami pigeons argument their wings. Modelling This is now usual in animal folds to call for a final modelling particularly if foil Origami Paper Stars has recently been used and one can be certain of the materials remaining in place. A contemporary example of this is in Pat Crawford's models. Neal Elias who probably led the move in the West to 3 DIMENSIONAL insists on any modelling following the folding The thought of wetting the paper is apparently Japanese in origin was demonstrated by Yoshizawa at a Convention in Birmingham. Another method of moist moulding using paste in the preparation is discussed by Alice Gray she was shown it by Yoshizawa during a visit to Japan. The folds tend to be gentle and are approaching statue rather than Origami.

Inside the most extreme mixtures of water and document we are, naturally , in the world of fun which is evidently an open-ended art. DecoratingThe simplest step from the single colour is one side coloured and one white or plain. A great deal of modern Origami intrusions this colour difference. The delightful example is Joan Homewood's Robin. We can use the texture of our material which need not even be evade or paper. Neal Elias collects patterned foil and has shown models in 3 colours which count after deciding on the best pattern and cutting his material to get the colour exactly where he Origami Star Ornament wants them. A more restricted form of decoration occurs in Japanese papers which are already printed with a design ideal for a special model. The end of this process is evidently the decoration of the final model and therefore into the decorative art proper which is open-ended. Lengthening By stretching our square we obtain rectangles then bows and finally string.

Typically the associated arts are Weaving cloth and Macrame which are open-ended. However with string we can have 'Cats Cradles' which is a closed-systems game with direct analogies to Origami. Multi-layer Toshie Takahama has produced some superb examples of this variation of Origami. The particular Avion En Papier Qui Vole sheets of paper are folded together but usually opened at the end to show the multi-layers usually with different colours. In flower folding and possible doll-making the multi-layer strategy is exploited for their own sake with little or no folding engaged. Multi-Part Isao Honda (15) was probably the first to write techniques involving 2 separate sheets of document each folded to represent some part of the pet and then brought collectively. The concept may well be traditional; if not in the way Honda uses it - see for example the Pagoda in Paper Miracle. Recently kits have came out for folding a monster from a number of squares of different sizes.

Cheeses of Spain: variety is the key
Cheese with a distinctive taste
Delicious, healthy and with a host of different flavours, all of them exquisite. Any time of the day and all year round, as an appetiser or an ingredient in a main course or pudding. Come and sample the cheeses of Spain. You'll be surprised by the sheer variety and quality, guaranteed by the Designation of Origin seal. They are, without doubt, a fundamental part of Spanish cuisine.
Spain is home to over 100 different cheeses: from unripened to mature, fermented, mould-ripened or smoked - a rich variety that underlines, among many other things, the sheer diversity of Spain's climates, landscapes and ecosystems, and the significant amount of cow, goat and sheep's milk the country produces. Sample the delights of a product that has been made for thousands of years and which has long occupied a place in the history and culture of our land.
Despite industrial advances over the centuries, the tradition of cheese-making by hand is still alive and well in Spain. Whatever cheese you decide to buy, make sure you choose one with the Designation of Origin (D.O.) seal - a guarantee of quality. The D.O. regulates food production and product characteristics. Protected by European Union regulations, it certifies the quality and authenticity of Spain's best known food products such as ham, wine, olive oil and cheese, to name but a few.
Each area of Spain produces its own cheeses. Take note - there is a wide range of flavours to choose from: Manchego (Castile-La Mancha), Idiazabal (Basque Country), Roncal (Navarre), Mahon (Balearic Islands) , Tetilla (Galicia), Cabrales (Asturias), Majorero (Canary Isles), etc. We recommend you try these traditional delights with some of the fine wines Spain produces - the perfect combination. Why not take some cheeses home with you? A delicious souvenir that is also the perfect gift for friends and family.
Spread on bread or finely sliced, an ideal complement for salads or enjoyed on its own. Eat as a "tapa" or a tasty treat any time of the day. So come and enjoy the cheeses of Spain. Bon appetit!

What is GPPAC?
The Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) is a global member led network of civil society organisations (CSOs) who actively work on conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The network consists of fifteen regional networks of local organisations with their own priorities, character and agenda. These regional networks are represented in an International Steering Group, which jointly determines our global priorities and actions for our conflict prevention and peacebuilding work. To get an overview of what GPPAC does, check out this interactive map.
Our mission is to promote a shift in how armed conflict is dealt with: a shift from reaction to prevention. We do this through multi-actor collaboration and local ownership of strategies for peace and security. Together, we aim to achieve greater national, regional and global synergy in the field of conflict prevention and peacebuilding, and to strengthen the role of local members in the regions affected by conflict.
Together we work on supporting the capacity of our regional networks for collaborative action by facilitating regional and global exchanges: members from diverse regions meet to learn from each other's experiences. Our members also connect with other actors, including the UN, regional intergovernmental organisations such as the League of Arab States, state actors, the media and academia. This has resulted in unique initiatives, showing our ability to bridge global policy making with local ownership and practice on the ground. Our work is guided by our current Strategic Plan 2016-2020 and is structured around three core strategies: enabling collaboration, improving practice, and influencing policy. Cutting across our strategic and thematic priorities is a commitment to gender mainstreaming and we strive to integrate gender perspectives in all our work.
GPPAC seeks a world where violence and armed conflicts are prevented and resolved by peaceful means based on justice, gender equity, sustainable development and human security for all.
GPPAC is a global network that links civil society with relevant local, national, regional and international actors and institutions to collectively contribute to a fundamental change in dealing with violence and armed conflicts: a shift from reaction to prevention.
GPPAC is organised primarily through regional networks and global structures.
At the regional level, GPPAC is governed by Regional Steering Groups (RSGs) and at the global level by an International Steering Group (ISG), in majority composed of representatives from GPPAC regional networks. Each GPPAC Region is coordinated by a Regional Secretariat.
The Global Strategy Group is an advisory body to the GPPAC Foundation Board and the ISG. Its primary responsibility is to articulate the overall strategic direction and policy in GPPAC projects, for consideration by the GPPAC Foundation Board and the ISG.
GPPAC Regions or GPPAC globally may decide to create additional structures to enable the network to operate, build partnerships with other stakeholders and contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
GPPAC overall is coordinated by a Global Secretariat which operates under the GPPAC Foundation (registered and based in the Netherlands) and supports the work of the governance and operational bodies of the GPPAC Network, primarily the GPPAC Board, Regional Secretariats and the Global Strategy Group.

While I, myself, wasn't the biggest Bionicle fan, I can appreciate it's place in the LEGO product line. There were mixed reactions when LEGO announced that the line was ending. Hero Factory seems like a good idea that has just the right appeal to hook kids. Some preliminary images have been leaked if you want to take a look (Hero Factory replaces Bionicle in August 2010 via The Brothers Brick). FBTB will have full coverage of this line come Toy Fair in February.

Western Digital My Book Thunderbolt Duo
A Mac's best friend?
Testing times
Using the default out-of-the-box configuration, the Thunderbolt Duo offers some seriously stonking bandwidth. Three large test files, including a couple of ISO disk images and totalling 11.84GB, could be written to and from the disk in under a minute. I clocked 55 seconds for a write, and 58 seconds for a read. In mirrored configuration this dropped a little to 89 seconds to complete the write. But still pretty impressive.
Thunderbolt thoroughbred: no other interfacing offered but the two connectors enable daisychaining
I also threw a data set of mixed-size files, that's much more typical of a regular backup, at the Duo. This included a copy of a well-used user folder, and comprised 25,141 files totalling 6.74GB. In striped configuration this was written in just 70 seconds.
Thanks to Thunderbolt, long backups are completed in the blink of an eye, and real-time editing of large files can be performed on locally-attached storage without the traditional performance penalties.
CrystalDiskMark 3 Results
Apple supports Thunderbolt in Boot Camp for Windows users, although the performance suffers
I also cranked up Crystal Diskmark 3 – and the results...? Meh? Meh. No, that's what I thought, too. This is on a par with a USB thumb drive; the Windows drivers supplied aren't really ready for prime time.
Back on Mac OS X, tests took slightly longer with the Duo configured for RAID mirrored - not surprisingly, as two copies of the data are being written. Even so, copying time was not seriously longer. The ISO test set was written in 89 seconds (vs 55 for striped) and the small-files set in 97 seconds. From these tests at least, it averages out at around 215MB/s for the large file stripe write and 133MB/s when mirrored. Both drop to about half their respective scores with the small file writes.
Unscientific, yet typical, everyday copying task results
Impressively, the Mac's Activity Monitor utility barely showed any incremental CPU strain during the reads or writes. The unit itself remains cool and quiet. It's nice to find a manufacturer who realises that heat rises, and puts the ventilation grilles where they should be.
The software is straightforward, and I only detected one minor glitch. Attempting to change the RAID configuration, the RAID utility fails if the drive is already mounted.
Disk removal is the same for all current My Book Duo drives – note the ventilated lid
It's very fast, and if you edit large media files then Thunderbolt storage must be on your shopping list, given that it leaves the CPU unflustered. Yet in more typical real-world scenarios – with smaller individual files sizes – it's fair to say that with USB 3.0 drives consistently notching up over 100MB/s, Thunderbolt has some serious competition to win over mainstream users. ®

CARSON, Calif. – Omar Gonzalez, Landon Donovan and the rest of the U.S. National Team have returned to Southern California from their two week-long World Cup "dry run" in Brazil, but the experience of training in South America is expected to serve them well ahead of this summer's tournament.
During their time in Brazil, the U.S. trained at the training facilities of Sao Paulo FC which will serve as their base of operations for this summer's World Cup. Gonzalez, Donovan and the rest of the U.S. squad also played a pair of closed-door scrimmages against Sao Paulo's first team with both LA Galaxy players suiting up in the matches.
"Brazil was fun. We did a lot of two-a-days with gym sessions in the morning and training in the afternoon. I thought it was a very productive trip for us," Gonzalez told reporters prior to U.S. training on Monday. "Everyone worked hard, we had a lot of fun and got a bit more team chemistry being away for two weeks. I thought that it was a great trip."
During the training camp, head coach Jurgen Klinsmann toured the locations of the Americans' group-stage fixtures: Natal, host of the Americans' Group G opener against Ghana on June 16; Amazonian outpost Manaus, site of their June 22 match against Portugal; and Recife, which will host of U.S. group-stage finale with Germany on June 26.
Gonzalez and the rest of his teammates were by and large restricted to the area around the team's hotel and training facilities in Sao Paulo, but the Galaxy defender left South America with a better feel of what may await him if he is named to the U.S. roster his summer.
"We definitely got a feel for the place, but as far as it being a World Cup environment, I don't think it was that like that yet. I'm simply happy to be back in L.A. and I'm looking forward to facing [Korea Republic]," said Gonzalez. We just want to keep on moving forward. Over the past year, we've done a great job of building chemistry on the field… and putting together all around complete games. We want to keep that going forward, keep building confidence and keep on looking to play well."
Although the World Cup is just four months away, Gonzalez isn't allowing himself to focus too much on Brazil. After all, he's got a job to do for his club side as well.
"It feels like [Brazil is] close, but there's a lot of stuff that happens before the World Cup. I'm hoping that the end of this camp goes well and I go into Galaxy and start of the year right with them," said Gonzalez. "There's things that I need to worry about before the World Cup comes into play like just focusing on continuing to growing as a player and being in top form if my name gets called upon for [Brazil]."

Victor Garber confirms he's gay
The fiercely private Titanic and Argo star spoke out about his sexuality during an interview with Hollywood blogger Greg Hernandez last week (ends11Jan13), insisting it's no secret he's attracted to men.
He said, "I don't really talk about it but everybody knows (I'm gay)."
Garber also revealed the name of his boyfriend of almost 14 years, Canadian artist/model Rainer Andreesen, who will be his date to the Screen Actors Guild Awards later this month (Jan13).
The 63 year old isn't the first celebrity to confirm reports he is gay this year (13) - actress Jodie Foster paid tribute to her lesbian ex-partner during an emotional acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday (13Jan13).

We Share Health Data with Marketing Companies, Why Not with Healthcare Providers? Answer: $$
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
For those who don't realize it, your health data is being shared all over the place. Yes, we like to think that our health care data is being stored and protected and that laws like HIPAA keep them safe, but there are plenty of ways to legally share health care data today. In fact, many EHR vendors sell your health care data for a pretty penny.
Of course, many would argue that it's shared in a way that complies with all the laws and that it's done in a way that your health record isn't individually identified. They're only sharing your health data in a de-identified manner. Others would argue that you can't deidentify the health data and that there are ways to reidentify the data. I'll leave those arguments for another post. We'll also leave the argument over whether all this sharing of health data (usually to marketing, pharma and insurance companies) is safe or not for a future post as well.
What's undeniable is that health data for pretty much all of us is being bought and sold all over health care. If you don't believe it's so, take a minute to look at the work of Deborah Peel from Patient Privacy Rights and learn about her project theDataMap. She'll be happy to inform you of all the ways data is currently being bought and sold. It's a really big business.
Here's where the irony comes in. We have no trouble sharing health data (Yes, even EHR vendors have no problem sharing data and lets be clear that not all EHR vendors share data with these outside companies but mare are sharing data) with marketing companies, payers and pharma companies that are willing to pay for access to that data. Yet, when we ask EHR vendors to share health data with other EHR vendors or with an HIE, they balk at the idea as if it's impossible. They follow that up with a bunch of lame excuses about HIPAA privacy or the complexity of health care data.
Let's call a spade a spade. We could pretty easily be interoperable in health care if we wanted to be interoperable. We know that's true because when the money is there from these third party companies, EHR vendors can share data with them. The problem has been that the money has never been there before for EHR vendors to be motivated enough to make interoperability between EHR vendors possible. In fact, you could easily argue that the money was instructing EHR vendors not to be interoperable.
However, times are changing. Certainly the government pressure to be interoperable is out there, but that doesn't really motivate the industry if there's not some financial teeth behind it. Luckily the financial teeth are starting to appear in the form of value based reimbursement and the move away from fee for service. That and other trends are pushing healthcare providers to want interoperable health records as an important part of their business. That's a far cry from where interoperability was seen as bad for their business.
I heard about this shift first hand recently when I was talking with Micky Tripathi, President & CEO of the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative. Micky told me that his organization had recently run a few RFPs for healthcare organizations searching for an EHR. As part of the EHR selection process Micky recounted that interoperability of health records was not only included in the RFP, but was one of the deciding factors in the healthcare organizations' EHR selections. The same thing would have never been said even 3-5 years ago.
No doubt interoperability of health records has a long way to go, but there are signs that times are changing. The economics are starting to make sense for organizations to embrace interoperablity. That's a great thing since we know they can do it once the right economic motivations are present.

Homecoming Celebrates All Things Wabash• September 22, 2010 Share:
Wabash College's annual Homecoming celebrated athletics, Annual Fund giving, and long-time supporters of the College.
See campus decoration photos here. And not for the meek or timid, photos here from Homecoming halftime.
It all got underway Thursday with Chapel Sing. The Sigma Chis won the battle of Wabash freshmen. See photos here, here, and here.
During the Alumni Chapel the National Association of Wabash Men recognized several deserving alumni and community members for their dedicated service. Award winners include Charlie Crowley '70, Urbaska Civic Service Award; Dick Regnier '51 (posthumous), Misch Alumni Service Award; Ross Zumwalt '65, Jackson Career Service Award; Gail Pebworth, Honorary Alumna; Ron Klene, Alumni Admissions Fellow; Alex Miller '71, Career Services Fellow; Scott Medsker '03, Young Alumnus Award; and a surprise Jackson Career Service Award to Director of Alumni Relations Tom Runge. See more about Alumni Chapel here.
After the success of the law affinity reunion in 2009, the second annual professionals affinity reunion was geared toward those in healthcare professions. The event was a casual two days of fellowship, networking, and learning with presentations from some top-notch alumni in the field and opportunities to meet and mentor students heading toward healthcare.
Presentations were given by Dr. Richard Gunderman '83, Dr. Bob Einterz '77, Terry Hamilton '89, David Callecod '89, John Sunde '78, Dr. John Roberts, Professor Eric Wetzel, Jill Rogers, and Jake Ezell '11. See more about the healthcare reunion here.
The Celebration of Leadership Luncheon celebrated the Annual Fund's successful year and long history of supporting the students of Wabash College. Annual Fund Director Joe Klen '97 welcomed the group and thanked them for "remaining loyal and generous during uncertain economic times."
Klen recapped the 2009-2010 Annual Fund campaign. "More than 4,000 donors gave $3,051,202.03. Of those donors, 346 have given for 25 consecutive years or more."
After the lunch, served "build your own sack lunch" style complete with insulated lunch bags, Klen offered a few suggestions from the Sons of Wabash for reusing the lunch bags. The number one way to reuse the lunch bag Klen said, "Take your lunch to work once a week and save the $5 you would have spent and give it to the Annual Fund. At year end, that's a $250 gift!"
Following Klen's welcome President Pat White reiterated Klen's thanks for continued unrestricted support. Such gifts help fund opportunities for our students such as immersion learning, summer research, and special events such as the recent trip to New York City by students to participate in an event at the American Museum as a result of last year's performance of Terra Nova.
"In times when other Colleges were cutting back their goals, we pushed ours higher," White said. "Even as we reduced our expenses in order to save money and make the most out of every dollar you gave, the College has been able to continue to enhance programs and actions that profoundly affect student learning."
This year's Annual Fund theme is Stand TALL and to that affect, President White said, "Because you stand tall with Wabash, Wabash is able to transform the lives of amazing young men. And what does that mean?
"We believe in the great effect of this college, the great effect of our young men. For every Wabash man who is able to complete his education – the world is. For every Wabash man who is able to take advantage of a business leadership program or have a summer internship, the world gets smarter. For every Wabash man who has an international experience, the world gets smaller.
"We are all so grateful for what you do to make your College stronger."
At the conclusion of White's remarks, Jacob Surface '11, shared with the crowd what Annual Fund support has meant to him as a student.
When faced with the decision of where to attend college, Surface looked around him to mentors in his life who he most wanted to emulate. All of those men were Wabash men. After that, it was an easy decision for him. But as the son of a steel worker and a mother who worked part time, he knew financially the road would be a tough one.
But at Wabash, Surface said, they make it possible for "Sons of steel workers to study Socrates with the sons of doctors and lawyers."
Surface was also thankful for the opportunities he has had to study off campus, abroad, and to have internships in cities like New York. "Thanks to Wabash I have spent more time outside of Crawfordsville, than most of my friends who are going to school at state schools.

TouchThinkLearn: Colors and Opposites by Xavier Deneux
Even though I have been a dad for only two and a half years, I have probably read one million stories over that span of time. While there are countless great books out there, both old and new, I feel like I have not been surprised by a book's design in quite awhile. Then I opened up these books by Xavier Deneux.
Deneux uses an interesting method wherein a raised picture on one page fits perfectly into a cut-out on the next page. For example, a raised picture of an elephant nestles perfectly into a cut-out of a cloud, cleverly illustrating the concept of heavy versus light. The graphics are crisp and the colors jump off of the page. I am willing to bet this series is headed into heavy rotation in my household.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Three's a Crowd (cont.)
As the girls depart, Niko will let Roman know the good news via cell phone. Commenting on his unfashionable clothes, Roman tells Niko to head to a place on Mohawk (close to the safe house) where some clothing can be purchased. Again, the GPS will tell you where to go, but since you were already northbound on Mohawk Avenue, all you have to do to get to your location is so turn around and head southbound towards the target on your HUD.
Your first clothing purchase in this Russian-run store will be on the house, so if you're going for a whole new wardrobe (which your wallet right now, honestly, will probably not allow), try to purchase the most expensive item on your list first. That way, you maximize the amount of money you don't spend. We bought some camouflage pants and sneakers (we're totally happy with Niko's fat gut sticking out of his sweatshirt/jacket combo). You can purchase whatever you want, but be sure to buy at least your free item, that way you can impress Michelle.
As soon as you've purchased what you want, head outside towards the car. Niko will phone up Roman automatically and let him know of his successful clothes shopping expedition. After the conversation, get in your car and begin to drive around aimlessly once more. This will give Michelle a chance to call you up and ask you out on a date. A huge decision is forthcoming, but in the meantime, we accepted her offer. This will be a great primer on dating girls in Liberty City.
Do you remember where Michelle lives? Well, in case you don't, an "M" will appear on your map. The game will also give you instructions on how to place a "waypoint" on your map. This can only be done one waypoint at a time, but it's a great tool, because it gives you GPS directions to a specific location where the game doesn't automatically provide them. Press Start and head to the Map, and place your waypoint over Michelle's place. Then, drive over there. But before you reach the arrow that will begin the date, Roman calls. It appears he's in trouble and needs your help. This provides the first of what will be many choices in the game for you to make. Will you go on your date, or will you help your cousin? As far as we see it, the Albanians are after him because he's a deadbeat with their money. The date it is! Keep in mind that you can go help your cousin instead of going on the date, but since Michelle won't pick up her phone, you won't be able to cancel. Standing her up will negatively affect your relationship with her in a major way. But leaving Roman on his own with the Albanians will begin to skew your relationship with him. Choices, choices!

The first cheer came when his name was publicly added to the team sheet before the game. The next came when he was introduced as a late second-half substitute.
And the loudest cheer of all came from Henry Shefflin himself as the referee blew the final whistle on Kilkenny's win over Tipperary in the All-Ireland qualifiers on Saturday night.
A packed Nowlan Park lived every hit and every bounce with the man of Kilkenny and Tipp in the game of the summer that lived up to its star billing.
The winner-takes-all clash saw Brian Cody's Cats emerge with a 0-20 to 1-14 win that sends them into next weekend's qualifier against Waterford and consigns Tipperary to the history books for the 2013 season.
The biggest game of the year also saw Shefflin return to the ranks for the first time this season after a succession of injuries, but the man himself was happy just to be back on the field for a
contest that will live long in the memory.
The neighbors did battle with more than pride at stake and victory was everything for Shefflin and Kilkenny.
"It would have given Tipperary great motivation coming down to try and beat us. It works both ways. I think the lads knew they hadn't performed very well last week and they really stood up to the challenge," Shefflin said.
"It was electric. The sunshine and everything made it special. I know it's not nice going the Qualifier route but a night like tonight is something we'll always remember and think of in years to come."
Now 34 and with nine All-Ireland medals already to his name, Shefflin will relish the chance to take another step towards the MacCarthy Cup final when the Cats play Waterford this Saturday. Defeat last weekend would have presented another set of questions as he acknowledged.
"It was a massive game for Tipperary as well as ourselves. For the group, it was in Nowlan Park and there was a lot written about ourselves," he said.
"The older players…if they'd have lost there would be question marks over them but I think they answered those questions. Some of the boys were absolutely magnificent. It's a massive win for ourselves but it's not worth anything unless we can go on and do something in this Championship. That will be the test next weekend."
For all the impact of his return on Saturday, Shefflin is unlikely to start against Waterford this weekend.
"My foot is fine now. If the pressure comes on it too much, it will come back again but hopefully I can manage it and build it up again," he said.
"I wouldn't be able to play a 70-minute match, no way, because I haven't done it. I've only done 20 minutes of training basically, that's it. I've been doing straight line running.
"I would have rathered another couple of weeks but I've been gradually building it back up and I'm delighted to be part of it more than anything else."
A week after their shock defeat to Dublin in the Leinster semifinal replay, Kilkenny were on a hiding to nothing in the qualifiers as manager Brian Cody acknowledged.
"If we didn't play to a very high standard then we were obviously going to be gone out of the championship and that was the stark reality for us," Cody said.
"Obviously huge questions were being asked of our panel and the lads answered them very well. There is huge rivalry there with Tipperary and there have been huge battles over the past number of years.
"It was our pitch, but I think it's the date as well. It is the first week of July, the consequences of looking at a Championship going ahead and thinking in our own heads that we just didn't play to the way we can play yet. There is no point thinking that tomorrow if we are beaten."
The game itself was a real ding-dong affair in perfect conditions on Saturday night as Tipperary, aided by a Lar Corbett goal before a hamstring injury forced him off, offered full value as they went in on level terms, 1-6 to 0-9, at half-time.
A JJ Delaney block on a goal chance for Eoin Kelly early in the second half was all the impetus Kilkenny needed to kick-on and by the end of the match Eoin Larkin had amassed 11 points for the Cats, 10 of them from frees.
They were never trailed in the final 20 minutes and Shefflin's late introduction from the bench pushed them on again.
Tipperary fans now have to accept that their season is over in just the second week of July, with speculation sure to surround the future of many of their star players.
Their manager Eamon O'Shea has refused to condemn any of his players after their defeats to Limerick and Kilkenny in recent weeks.
"Whatever view there is out there of Tipperary, I would like to challenge it. The view that Tipperary are not able to put up a fight, I would challenge that view. Tipperary came to try to win a game, those boys were trying to win a game," O'Shea said.
"I'm immensely proud of them, I'm immensely proud of the way they went about their business.
These guys are honorable men who went to fight today. They came out on the wrong side of the fight, but these are men of honor.
"I see this as a setback, yeah, we didn't plan to be here, but I see it as one where we have to pick up the pieces and move on. We have the structures to do that."

Ever parked for the day to catch a short hike up Herman Creek or a spur-of-the-moment pilgrimage to the Pacific Crest Trail?
Did you risk the hike without buying your U.S. Forest Service Northwest Forest Pass?
You have company. You may also have the legal right to leave your pass at home in the very near future.
Last month, Portland resident Adi Fairbank opted for the PCT and a three-day backpack - without a Northwest Forest Pass on his windshield. When he got back to the Herman Creek trailhead, he found a fine on his car and himself with a misdemeanor citation.
"I make it a habit of not buying a NW Forest Pass, since I do not believe we should have to pay to access our public lands," said Fairbank when asked if he knew he might be found in violation.
"I have concerns that accessing our own public lands can be called a crime, even a misdemeanor," he added. "I think it is unjust and more importantly, unlawful, which is why I decided to fight it in court."
Fairbank is now working to challenge his citation, received on July 23, in Federal District Court in Portland.
Coincidentally, a local attorney turns out to be Fairbank's best bet to rectify his situation.
Attorney Mary Ellen Barilotti, a Hood River resident, has been leading a fight in several Western states against the USFS's routine practice of requiring federal lands users to purchase passes for access to minimally developed areas.
"We have no problem with people being charged to have access to bathrooms, picnic areas, interpretive signs, developed parking ... Our problem is being charged to have access everywhere on USFS managed lands," said Barilotti.
According to a Feb. 9 ruling issued in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Barilotti and another attorney successfully argued on behalf of several plaintiffs, that the USFS is prohibited from charging fees in minimally or undeveloped federal lands under its jurisdiction.
Specifically the new ruling - tied to the Mount Lemmon federal recreation area in Arizona - states that the USFS may not charge a fee "for recreational visitors who park a car, then camp at undeveloped sites, picnic along roads or trailside, or hike through the area without using the facilities and services."
Historically, the Forest Service has been issuing and requiring fee-based passes based on their interpretation of "Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act" - which provided specific instances when fees might be charged on federal lands.
According to Barilotti, the new ruling negated the USFS interpretation of the Act and the application of their authority to charge in minimally developed areas under their jurisdiction.
"It was the intent of Congress to limit Forest Service authority in charging fees," said Barilotti of the Recreation Enhancement Act.
Federal use passes in Oregon are referred to as the Northwest Forest Pass and cost $30 per year.
The initial citation issued to Fairbank carries a fine between $75 and $100 for first offenders. A change in pass requirements will have long-range implications for forest users and the USFS itself.
"This is not just about the cost of the pass," said Barilotti. "We argued that the Forest Service has exceeded the scope of its authority by charging fees in areas where they are precluded from doing so."
"I also don't think people have paid much attention to the fact that the USFS citations are criminal misdemeanors - with penalties attached," added Barliotti.
The Feb. 9 case involved four visitors' use of a federal recreation area in Tucson, Ariz.; however, the court issuing the opinion serves as the appellate jurisdiction for nearly all western states, including Oregon.
When asked who would be responsible for enforcing this new limitation on USFS fee requirements, Barilotti stated, "They must cease what they are doing. The Western Slope No Fee Coalition will take an active role in following up."
Barilotti also noted that the current Fairbank case, if won, would quicken the enactment of limitations on USFS charges in Oregon.
"Both I and the Western Slope group have been assisting Adi in his pro se motion to dismiss his criminal citation," she said.
Barilotti is also joining with members of the coalition to ensure the new ruling promotes restructuring within the USFS fee system. According to the organization's website, www.westernslopenofee.org, the WSNFC is a nonprofit dedicated to fee-free public lands.
"I hope fighting in court results in the citation being dismissed - as an immediate effect - but in the longer term that it encourages others to not just blindly buy a NW Forest Pass every year, but to stand up for their rights to access their public lands," concluded Fairbank.

(AP) Yank condemns defaced Jackie Robinson statue
New York Yankees closing pitcher Mariano Rivera has condemned the defacing of a statue of Jackie Robinson outside a minor league baseball stadium in Brooklyn. Rivera is the last baseball player who will ever wear Jackie Robinson's No. 42.
The reliever told the Daily News ( http://nydn.us/16JGv2v) Sunday he hopes police find whoever scrawled the words "Heil Hitler," an expletive and racist epithets in black marker. Rivera, who wears a No. 42 jersey as Robinson did, said the vandalism was disrespectful and unacceptable.
The swastikas and hate speech were discovered Wednesday. On Thursday, the Parks Department removed them from the statue.
But police have not arrested anyone in connection with the defacement and are still investigating.
The Jackie Robinson Foundation is offering $40,000 and the Daily News has offered $10,000 to anyone with information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Drought has CRMWD scrambling
For the Colorado River Municipal Water District, it's a matter of simple math — limited number of water sources plus limited pumping capacity equals reduced deliveries to customers.
CRMWD, which had already reduced deliveries to its member cities by 10 percent this summer, announced an additional 10 percent reduction effective July 1.
General Manager John Grant said a worsening drought and extremely low water levels have taken two of the district's three reservoirs out of the delivery equation — as of Friday morning, Lake Thomas was about 3.5 percent full, while Lake Spence was at less than 2 percent of capacity.
That leaves Lake Ivie (currently 26 percent full) and two groundwater fields in Ward County as the district's only reliable sources of water, and CRMWD cannot produce its normal delivery quotient from just those two areas.

To kick off the 2012 season, the Lipscomb men's tennis team will head to Athens, Ga., to compete in the 2012 Southern Intercollegiate Championship. The tournament begins Friday, Sept. 7, and will end on Monday, Sept. 10.
Twenty-three teams will appear in the tournament taking place at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex on the University of Georgia campus.
In addition to fellow A-Sun competitors Florida Gulf Coast, Kennesaw State, North Florida, Mercer and East Tennessee State University the field includes Armstrong Atlantic, The Citadel, Clemson, Florida, Furman, Georgia, Georgia College, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Liberty, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Presbyterian, UT Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech and Vanderbilt.
The tournament will be set into at least two singles divisions and two doubles divisions, with a championship following each division. First round losing teams will play at least two rounds of singles consolation, but there will be no doubles consolation play.
Initial draws will be sent out Thursday afternoon, but changes are expected.
Lipscomb men's coach Andrew Harris believes the tournament will be a great time to help build the team.
"This is our first tournament this fall for the guys," Harris said. "Our big priority is seeing what they've improved on this summer, so we can see what they need to improve on for the remainder of the fall."
Harris is hopeful the Bisons will make positive strides for the other tournament teams to see.
"The competition is some of the best you'll find in the southeast, so we're looking to make a good first impression to the other universities for the fall," Harris said.
Following this tournament, the men's team will look ahead to the MTSU Fall Tournament, set for Sept. 21-Sept. 23.

Greg Kroah-Hartman is a longtime developer of the Linux kernel, known for his work maintaining USB drivers. O'Reilly Media recently interviewed Greg about his claim that the Linux kernel now supports more devices than any other operating system ever has, as well as why binary-only drivers are illegal, and how the kernel development process works. "I went and asked every single hardware manufacturer, the big guys that ship the boxes, Dell, IBM, HP--what do you ship that isn't supported by Linux? They came back with nothing. Everything is supported by Linux. If you have a device that isn't supported by Linux that's being shipped today, let me know.".

People, oiling the machine of your Customer-Centric World (Part 2 of 6)
Without people, organisations simply do not exist. Your people are the 'oil in the machine'. Except that, in the post-industrial age, most companies can no longer continue to operate successfully on such a mechanistic basis. In the information age, companies must function on a more dynamic basis, forming new, ad-hoc team structures organically as and when required. Continue reading

|I'm not much of a flower person, but Boyfriend brought home some beauts the other week.
Saturday: 4 miles @ 9:52 pace, 8x hill sprints
Sunday: 7.2 miles including 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 2:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 ladder intervals with equal recovery (average 7:17 pace); Brought my average pick-up pace down a few seconds from a few weeks ago. Win. But my legs are tired. During the recoveries I felt like a machine powering way, way down (insert stereotypical power down sound here). After this run all I could think was that taper came at just the right time.
Monday: 6 miles @ 8:54 pace
Tuesday: 4 miles @ 9:43 pace, 10x hill sprints, Bikram Yoga.
Wednesday: 10.5 miles @ 8:40 pace, including 2x 4 miles @ MP (8:26, 8:25 pace); I am still debating what I think a realistic MP is for me right now. Being in the mid-8:20's feels like MP so I went with it.
Thursday: Bikram Yoga; This class was so hot and miserable. At the end the instructor congratulated us on not leaving the room and the studio erupted into applause for ourselves. I would have joined in, but I was meditating too hard on not dying. Seriously. I go to a night class just once a week and it is always far more humid and hot than the day classes I attend. I've decided these super hot classes aren't really worth it. When I'm suffering so much from the heat I only half-ass the poses.
Friday: 13 miles @ 9:39 pace; Last double-digit run before the marathon. I felt pretty sluggy the entire run and it wasn't quite the way I'd like to say goodbye to double-digits before the race. I thought I hydrated well after the hot class the night before but that along with the sunny, "warm" SF weather may have been the downfall of this run. Still, pulled out the easy pace I was looking for, so won't linger too long on this one.
I have one more quality run next week, but my main focus is recovery for the race. The last week before a race my mantra is, "Don't be a hero!" Also hoping to get in 3-4 more Bikram sessions before the race. I've definitely been slacking in the Bikram department lately. However, this means I'll probably have to go back to the dreaded night class.
I've entered that awesome point of the training cycle where I am officially a germophobe. To add to my neurosis, the 10 day forecast finally includes race day. I know 10 days out is practically like asking a Magic 8 ball, but right now it is saying high of 65, low of 38 (swoon!!) and 60% chance of showers. Me likey.

WASHINGTON — The House today passed a scaled-down version of a massive farm bill, putting off a fight over food stamp spending and giving Republican leaders a victory after a decisive defeat on the larger bill last month.
The GOP leaders scrambled to get the bill to the floor today and gather enough votes this week after making a decision to drop a politically sensitive food stamp section of the bill and pass legislation that contained only farm programs.
The plan faced opposition from Democrats, farm groups and conservative groups. But Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia navigated his colleagues to a 216-208 vote by convincing Republican members that this was the best chance to get the bill passed and erase the embarrassment of the June defeat.

Jack Lee Collection - Heritage 8/2011:8/12/2011, $89,125
Heritage 4/2014:5102, $9,106.25
Ron Guth:
The 1925 Peace Dollar is one of the more common dates in the series, though it is not nearly as plentiful as 1922 and 1923. In Mint State condition, the 1925 Peace Dollar can be found with ease, including in Gem conditions up to MS-66. Like most Peace Dollar dates, the 1925 becomes rare in MS-67 condition. PCGS has graded a single example in MS-68, one of only two such coins in the series (the other is an MS-68 1924). In terms of strike, the 1925 usually comes with nice, if not full, details. Luster is usually good and sometimes very reflective, with a crisp metallic sheen and booming luster. Bagmarks can be expected, but they are usually light and fewer in number than on most other dates. Most Mint State examples come with good eye appeal and, at the top end of the condition ladder, the visual appeal can be stunning. For type purposes, the 1925 Peace Dollar is a good candidate.
According to a notice in the June 1934 issue of The Numismatist (p. 416), collectors could still purchase Uncirculated 1925 Peace Dollars directly from the U.S. Treasury for "the face value of the coins and an amount sufficient to cover the mail charrges by first-class mail."
