Christopher Roser, superintendent of Lewiston-Porter schools, met with Lewiston Chief of Police Chris Salada this week in the wake of the Dec. 13 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"The staff had concerns after the shooting in Connecticut," Salada explained. He met with Roser to identify possible ways to improve safety in the schools, as well as see where the police can help.
Salada said there are many angles to look at on this issue and there will be several meetings to ensure all possible safety concerns are handled.
"The police department is keeping an extra-close eye on all the local schools," he said.
On the Lewiston Police Department's Facebook page, Salada issued the following statement:
Active Shooter Information

Every aspect of our life has a part to play in the greater ecological system, Michael Stone explains in this book. How do we bring this large view to our yoga practice? According to Stone, our responsibility as human beings is to live in a sustainable and respectful way. He says two things need to change. First, we need to understand the relationship between our actions and the effects of our actions. Second, once we see the effect of our actions in the human and non-human world, we need practical skills for learning how to make changes.
Using the five principles (yama) described in the Yoga-Sutra attributed to Patanjali, Michael Stone offers a basis for rethinking ethical action and the spiritual path.News & Reviews
"Thought-provoking. Stone is unusually passionate and sophisticated in his approach. The book needs to be digested slowly, because in it Stone calls on us to change our minds and lives. Fortunately, he not only provides guidance on this path but also inspires us to follow it." —Yoga Journal
"An essential read for anyone trying to seriously practice yoga today." —Yoga Magazine
"Yoga for a World Out of Balance provides guiding principles with a holistic vision that sees beyond simple black-and-white into today's more complex issues." —Elephant Journal
"The world has been calling out for a book like this. Michael Stone affirms the potential of yoga in our world, and the book is necessary reading for anyone who is looking to do an engaged, authentic practice with integrity, intelligence, and sensitivity." —It's All Yoga, Baby (blog)
"The careening horror of our environmental dissent has all of us off balance. Michael Stone provides some excellent advice about how to find a place on which to stand." —Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy
"If up until now yoga has been something you do on a mat, this book will lift you off your feet. I know of no book with such an elevated, informed, and inspiring perspective on how yoga belongs in our world and how the world belongs in our yoga." —Chip Hartranft, author and translator, The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali
"Spiritual awakening and fruition do not come from fleeing our suffering world but from opening up to it and being transformed by that encounter. Michael Stone's new book demonstrates clearly and persuasively that social engagement is an essential part of genuine yogic practice. His work continues to be at the cutting edge of Western yoga." —David Loy, author of Money, Sex, War, Karma
"The nurturing flow of life, extreme intelligence, beauty, and perfect harmony are active in every one of us. Yoga was developed in ancient wisdom culture to gently reveal what we already have. Read this book." —Mark Whitwell, author of Yoga of the Heart
"Reverence for life up-ends the typical narcissism of spiritual literature; what we are offered here instead is a literate and deeply devotional integration of individual practice and social awareness. Yoga has always meant 'union,' but here in Michael Stone's world, the profound philosophy of yoga permeates the dying earth and our living hearts with insights that are ancient, scintillating, and incisive. This is not a rehash of prior teachings, but a highly original uncloaking of the deepest meanings that await us in our practice." —Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest
"An important new work of great clarity that brilliantly explores the core concern of human existence: the coming together of spirit and action." —Velcrow Ripper, director of the films Scared Sacred and Fierce Light
"Michael Stone provides the clarity and direction that can result in a yoga practice that is not limited to the time on the mat but that moves out into the world and embraces it." —Spirituality & HealthReader Reviews

Koss Introduces STRIVA: World's First Wi-Fi Headphone System to Receive Music Directly From the Internet
STRIVA TAP in-ear monitors and STRIVA PRO full size headphones are the first STRIVA products being introduced by Koss
MILWAUKEE, Apr 25, 2012 -- Koss Corporation KOSS -1.51% , the U.S.-based creator of the world's first SP3 Stereophone in 1958, has unveiled STRIVA, a revolutionary new headphone and in-ear monitor system with Wi-Fi technology that receives music directly from the Internet without wires.
"54 years ago my father revolutionized personal listening with the first Koss SP3 stereophone," Michael J. Koss, President and CEO said. "Today, thanks to the Internet, the revolution is in the air. Now all of your favorite music can be streamed directly from the Internet to our new headphones and in-ear monitors without wires using Koss STRIVA technology."
Michael Koss explained that the STRIVA development project commenced nearly four years ago and yielded three significant technological breakthroughs. They are STRIVA Core, MyKOSS online server and STRIVA CAP.
First, the STRIVA Core is a miniature battery-powered computer that functions as a web server coupled with an assortment of Wi-Fi components powerful enough to make any device wireless. The STRIVA Core's Wi-Fi engine and microprocessor components are small enough to nest on the surface of a U.S. dime. The STRIVA Core is built into all STRIVA products, including the Koss STRIVA PRO headphones and in-ear Koss STRIVA TAPs being released today.
The second breakthrough is the MyKOSS server, designed to link wirelessly with STRIVA products and connect them to remote Internet broadcasting sites. The MyKOSS platform includes proprietary software designed to scan the Internet for thousands of free streams and radio stations that deliver music and audio content. The MyKOSS server acts as a switch to direct the STRIVA headphones to the proper stream based on "listener-customized" music channels. The STRIVA-enabled headphone receives these special address instructions from the MyKOSS server and links the headphone directly to music streams using available wireless access points.
Finally, all STRIVA products include the STRIVA CAP or Content Access Point. This matchbook-sized wireless access point converts music from a smartphone, music player or computer into a digital TCP/IP stack and transmits it directly to STRIVA-enabled headphones or in-ear monitors using Wi-Fi. The STRIVA CAP can be used in conjunction with a wireless router for digital connections throughout the Internet, or it can be used to create a direct local wireless connection whenever a Wi-Fi router or hot spot is unavailable.
"The Internet has been liberating music for over 10 years," Michael Koss continued. "Now our STRIVA Wi-Fi technology will liberate music lovers who can finally cut the cord and enjoy their favorite music anywhere, anytime, without wires."
STRIVA TAP in-ear monitors and STRIVA PRO full size headphones are the first STRIVA products being introduced by Koss.
STRIVA TAP is a tiny in-ear monitor measuring only 1.5 inches in length. Unlike other in-ear cordless solutions, each pair of stereo STRIVA TAPs does not require wires concealed in a headband to connect the left and right earpieces together. Instead, microprocessors in each earpiece continually synchronize the music to ensure quality stereo sound is recreated consistently in both ears.
STRIVA TAP allows users to control their listening experience using innovative capacitive touch controls on the face of the device. Its ultra-compact size and state-of-the-art design make it ideal for those on the go.
For those that prefer an over-the-ear headphone model, Koss has introduced STRIVA PRO, which combines superior sound quality with elegant design. STRIVA PRO features gesture-based controls on the ear cup, allowing listeners to manage both channel and volume preferences with the flick of a button or swipe of a finger. STRIVA PRO also folds flat for storage and portability.
Both STRIVA PRO and STRIVA TAP include a STRIVA CAP that plugs into any headphone jack. STRIVA CAP creates an additional local music channel for those who prefer listening to their own personal music libraries or music apps like Pandora or Spotify. The STRIVA CAP plugs into any smartphone, computer, radio or MP3 player with a headphone jack.
"We created the STRIVA system with a specific focus on personalization," Michael Koss said. "We developed a platform that allows listeners to create their own music channels, based on their preferences, using MyKOSS options to filter music by genre, artist, or decade. Once the channel is set up, listeners can simply press a button or touch a sensor to send a thumbs up or thumbs down back to the MyKOSS server to remotely 'fine tune' the content delivered to their personalized channels. Both models feature a new capacitive touch control design that allows the listener to change volume, switch channels or jump streams with a simple swipe or tap."
All STRIVA products include access to the MyKOSS music management system rolling out in Beta form at the time of the product launch.
The MyKOSS site can be accessed with any standard Internet browser like Explorer, Chrome or Safari using any smartphone, tablet, or computer that has access to the Internet. Once an account is created, the STRIVA products are mated to the user account and sent special instructions on preferred wireless access points nearby when away from home or the office.
Custom channels are created based on the listener's preferences and continue to be updated and improved every time the listener tunes in. Koss has also developed a menu of options for the headphone slide and button controls that the user can remotely modify on the product itself through the MyKOSS website. Revised firmware for the new settings is transmitted through Wi-Fi to the STRIVA products.
"There have been many claims about home systems and products that use the same radio signal band as Wi-Fi," Koss continued. "The Koss STRIVA system is the first wireless Wi-Fi system of its kind in the world. STRIVA-enabled headphones and in-ear monitors are the first products to make a direct connection to the Internet without dedicating a computer, smartphone, music player or tablet to the task of gathering and serving music to you. STRIVA Core is the first Wi-Fi enabled computer that you wear on your head, and the MyKOSS server software is the first controller system of its type to exist in the cloud. The system is not dependent on a customized bridge, transmitting device or pre-determined restricted special network. It runs on the existing Internet backbone. This means you can take your Koss STRIVA headphones -- all on their own -- to any public Wi-Fi hotspot and stay connected to the music you love. No strings attached. The Revolution is in the air."
Koss STRIVA products are being produced at the Koss factory in the U.S. and are available exclusively at www.koss.com .

PARAMUS, N.J. >> Jim Furyk was steady. Jason Day was wild. Both wound up with a share of the lead Saturday at The Barclays.
Day lost his golf ball in a mound of high grass and took double bogey on the par-5 13th, the third-easiest hole at Ridgewood. He also took four shots to get down from a bunker on the par-5 17th for a bogey. But the Australian made enough birdies for a 3-under 68.
Furyk played bogey-free for a 69 and joined Day in the lead at 9-under 204.
The final round of his opening FedEx Cup playoff event was shaping up as a shootout, with 15 players separated by three shots.
Hunter Mahan was tied for the lead until his approach went right of the green on the 18th and he took bogey for a 68. He was one shot behind. Matt Kuchar, who won The Barclays the last time it was at Ridgewood in 2010, was among seven players two shots behind.
The group at 6-under 207 included Ernie Els and Erik Compton.
Missing from the mix but not entirely out of the picture was Rory McIlroy. The British Open and PGA champion made an early move until he was slowed by a pair of bogeys around the turn. He had a 70 and was five shots behind in his bid for a fourth straight victory.
Adam Scott failed to keep pace. Tied for the lead going in a cloudy Saturday, the defending Barclays champion made only one birdie in a round of 75 and left him five shots out of the lead.
At least he's still playing. Phil Mickelson missed the 54-hole cut, which is in effect when more than 78 players make the 36-hole cut. For the second straight day, Mickelson hit his tee shot onto the terrace of a grandstand left of the fifth green. This time, he saved par.
That was the lone highlight, however. Mickelson shot a 75 and headed home. It was unclear if he would play the Deutsche Bank Championship next week, which might end his season if he doesn't stay among the top 70 eligible for the BMW Championship.
Just about everyone else at Ridgewood is still in the running, or so it seems.
"It's going to be interesting tomorrow," Day said, who is trying to make the most out of what seems like a lost year because of a thumb injury.
Day injured his thumb while winning the Match Play Championship in February, costing him tournaments and momentum. But a big run now that he's healthy could help him salvage his season.
The focus figures to be on Furyk, who has gone nearly four years without a victory. Since winning the Tour Championship at the end of 2010, Furyk has had at least a share of the 54-hole lead seven times and has failed to convert.
His last chance was a month ago in the Canadian Open, where Tim Clark beat him by a shot. He also missed out on two majors, the PGA Championship last year at Oak Hill and the U.S. Open in 2012 at Olympic Club.
The players at 5-under 208 four shots back included Rickie Fowler (67), Ryo Ishikawa (68) and Paul Casey, who had a 71 as he tries to extend his season.

More on the law
Sadly it's another in a long line of victim jailed cases such as I posted about a few days ago.
Back in Australia there was a hearing in Brisbane Supreme Court on Friday of last week when lawyers acting for a young Queensland woman, Alicia Gali, were given leave to sue Fujeirah's Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort for breaching its workplace obligations and failing to have systems in place to protect their workers against assault.
That opened a can of worms.
On Monday it was in the news, with headlines like:
Drugged, raped, then jailed for 'adultery'
Queensland woman tells of her jail hell in United Arab Emirates
The details are murky but it goes back to 2008, when Alicia reported to police that she had been raped by three co-workers at the hotel after they spiked her drink in the hotel staff bar.
It seems the three men were not charged with rape but they and Alicia were found guilty of illicit sex, and presumably consuming alcohol.
Alicia got a year in Al Slammer and served eight months before being pardoned.
She claimed she had no assistance from her employer or the embassy, which the hotel immediately denied. They issued a statement that they had helped 'including assisting with medical support, arranging for financial support, assistance with the investigation, liaising with her representative embassy and arranging for her family to come to the UAE from Australia'.
The following day her lawyers refuted those claims.
I told you it was all very murky. It'll get worse as the case progresses too with the international spotlight firmly on the laws here and the way they're administered. Let's hope it brings about some changes.
BTW, if you read the stories I've linked to below you'll see they contain warnings against travelling to the UAE. The only news outlet here I've seen the story in is Arabian Business, who simultaneously reported a UK survey in which Dubai came fifth in a survey which asked travellers which destinations they felt most at risk in.
That's strange about a country that's one of the world's safest, but it's not safety in relation to muggings or violence against them they're concerned about. It has to be the regular reports of people being jailed for consuing alcohol, for verbal insults, for giving the finger and of victims being jailed that cause the concern.
Here's the first story and also
Hotel defends itself.
Not true say lawyers.
Dubai not safe survey.

I hate these horror stories.
They remove all doubt from my mind that something needs to happen and I should be making something happen.
But i'm not. I'm an armchair hypocrite.
Horrible stuff.

It's really absurd that the victim was punished instead of the rapists.Equally the blame lies with the management of Le Meridien Al Aqah.What actions have been taken against them by Starwood.It likes to pride itself on ethics.About time they make their words count.Tourists should boycott this particular hotel.
- April 02, 2011 9:46 am
It seems best to keep the religious and cultural angle out of this and treat this case from a purely legal point of view.What's really clear is that an innocent employee had been victimized and the management of Le Meridien Al Aqah had actively worked against their own employee to cover their own backs.This is thoroughly unethical .

On the subject of law.... what is the truth behind the poor British fellow who died in the local lockup.. as far as the police are concerned he consumed hashish and choked on his own vomit... very convenant... gosh!! Who was this guy Jimmy Hedrich, Bon Scott even...Mmmm! Me thinkus a few pork pies are flying... But in this country pigs aren't allowed.. even to fly.

I've been reading your blog, and reading up on Dubai, where i have a 1.5 hour stop over in the middle of the night and my stomach is in a knot of fear. I feel ill at the though that i might not make it through this. I'm now going to be leaving all my vitamin supplements behind ( one of them is melatonin - it would have been in my bag, and I would have not seen my family for 4 years or maybe ever again.) I have others, I've searched for banned substances (melatonin is not on the lists I've found) I now don't know if I'm going to get done for something I have no idea about, something that is totally legal everywhere else. If you can be jailed for being raped (I'm a woman and I'm flying alone!!) or eating a bagel, I'm so stupid for booking my flight through Emirates. An in 2 weeks I'll have to run this gauntlet again on my way home... I hope I make it through.

Back to Main Page / Back to List of Rules
Rule 173.1 Appointment Governed by Statute or Other Rules (2005)
This rule does not apply to an appointment of a guardian ad litem governed by statute or other rules..
Amended by order of Jan. 27, 2005, eff. Feb. 1, 2005.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|June 16, 1943, eff. Dec. 31, 1943
1. The rule is completely revised.
2. This rule does not apply when the procedures and purposes for appointment of guardians ad litem (as well as attorneys ad litem) are prescribed by statutes, such as the Family Code and the Probate Code, or by other rules, such as the Parental Notification Rules.
3. The rule contemplates that a guardian ad litem will be appointed when a party's next friend or guardian appears to have an interest adverse to the party because of the division of settlement proceeds. In those situations, the responsibility of the guardian ad litem as prescribed by the rule is very limited, and no reason exists for the guardian ad litem to participate in the conduct of the litigation in any other way or to review the discovery or the litigation file except to the limited extent that it may bear on the division of settlement proceeds. See Jocson v. Crabb. 133 S.W.3d 268 (Tex. 2004) (per curiam). A guardian ad litem may, of course, choose to review the file or attend proceedings when it is unnecessary, but the guardian ad litem may not be compensated for unnecessary expenses or services.
4. Only in extraordinary circumstances does the rule contemplate that a guardian ad litem will have a broader role. Even then, the role is limited to determining whether a party's next friend or guardian has an interest adverse to the party that should be considered by the court under Rule 44. In no event may a guardian ad litem supervise or supplant the next friend or undertake to represent the party while serving as guardian ad litem.
5. As an officer and advisor to the court, a guardian ad litem should have qualified judicial immunity.
6. Though an officer and adviser to the court, a guardian ad litem must not have ex parte communications with the court. See Tex. Code Jud. Conduct, Canon 3.
7. Because the role of guardian ad litem is limited in all but extraordinary situations, and any risk that might result from services performed is also limited, compensation, if any is sought, should ordinarily be limited.
8. A violation of this rule is subject to appropriate sanction.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - After a sixth-place finish at the CSA Team Championships, the Yale men's squash team heads to Amherst, Mass. Friday for the three-day CSA Individual Championships. Last year's top Bulldog in the final rankings was Kenneth Chan, who closed out the season as the nation's 12th-best player. The individual championships play a major role in determining those final rankings.
Chan's classmates Hywel Robinson and Richard Dodd rounded out 2011-2012 as No. 17 and 18, respectively, while senior John Roberts also cracked the top 25 at No. 23. Roberts was nominated for the prestigious Skillman Award this season, in addition to winning the closing match in the Bulldogs' streak-busting win against then-No. 1 Trinity in January.
Chan reached the quaterfinals of the A division draw at last year's individual championships, while seniors Robert Berner and Ryan Dowd both carved their way to the quarterfinals in the B division draw. This weekend's matches will represent the last college squash action of theirs, Roberts's and classmate Samuel Clayman's impressive Yale careers.

Knowledge base organization
Actually I think that it would help if we agree on a way to reorganize the Wiki. Specially as the knowledge base grows.
Having multiple topics in one page was OK when the knowledge base was small now we may need individual pages. That way when there is a question we can just add the link to the answer.
Also, information is scattered, sometime in Barry's notes, sometimes in the oficial FAQ, sometimes in the wiki and many more in the Forums.
For example, the HowTo's
- There is a
Wiki HowTo page
with many topics.
- There is the
How to use Puppy
page more HowTo's
- There is the
HOWTO (Solutions)
in the Forum.
- Plus there are many responses in the forum that would qualify as HOWTO's
- Plus many howtos in the official Puppy pages.
The same happens with the development pages and other topics.
What if we agree on one central location. Then if we get a new question that can be responded as a HOWTO, instead of replying it on-line in the thread, we write the response in the appropriate HOWTO and just put the link in the thread.
Or maybe the other way around. The primary being the forum and the wiki pointing back to the forum.
Of course there is still the need for the official pages maintained by Barry but as time progresses the pages are becoming outdated and my guess is that In Australia they still have 24 hours a day, not enough time for Barry to work on puppy and update the pages.
We should also 'version' the pages, in a way where we can add the new puppy version if the information still applies or to write another section if something is done differently in the new puppy.
So in a nutshell, Different people organizes thoughts differently, some prefer a big index, some prefer a tree structure, some prefer alphabetic, some others grouped by topic. If we put each topic in its own page, we can create different indexing structures to guide people to find the right answer. If we 'version' pages, it will be easier for them to know when a solution applies to their puppy and for us, to update them as appropriate.

I think the wiki is the best place for solutions like this, Housekeeping might not be too pleased though !!

I'm with you a hundred percent. As you say, the website is fragmented and disorganized, and getting worse because it is growing without any guiding structure.
So in a nutshell, Different people organize thoughts differently, some prefer a big index, some prefer a tree structure, some prefer alphabetic, some others grouped by topic. If we put each topic in its own page, we can create different indexing structures to guide people to find the right answer. If we 'version' pages, it will be easier for them to know when a solution applies to their puppy and for us, to update them as appropriate.
However you choose to organize it, the information must first exist and be accessible. Then it must be sorted and sifted to separate the usable signal from the noise. This cannot be done by a machine. Someone who knows a lot about the subject must read through all of it to see if it contains anything useful, then organize it and edit it for clarity. I've been trying to keep the forum organized, to make it easier to search. You may have noticed the "(Solved)" that I add to the subject line of a thread when it appears the original question was answered. Sometimes I'm premature and the thread continues on long after that though.
I don't know enough about the subjects to make a How-To out of the forum threads that come to a good end. All I could think to do with them is make an index of what appear to me to be the most instructive threads and make it a sticky post. I could use some constructive criticism.

You know people look to me as being the wiki master. I do spend a lot of time on the wiki, it was my way of learning about Puppy. Yep, the wiki is getting quite large.
Some pages such as the ones Ian is working on - for working and non-working hardware - are becoming increasingly useful. G2 tried out categories and perhaps better use of those might be made if someone feels they would like to give it a go?
In a similar way developing an order in the forum is just a question of having a go. We are all trying to develop new and better skills. I do not do much pruning or ordering on the forums I am moderator for because it is not my thing. I am aware that an overall documentation strategy would be a good thing but for now repetition and familiarisation might also be of benefit
What are others willing to do to improve things?

I have been trying to implement something like this ever since the Simple Forum days as I feel that a centralized database of resolved issues would help newcomers find solutions easier and quicker.
This would cut down on the repeated querys that have to be answered over and over again.
One thing I have noticed is that when newcomers find a solution they are quite quick to share it with the next newcomer asking the same question which is a good thing as it takes the pressure off people who are trying to deal with new problems that crop up.
As more and more people are trying to get Puppy running on a wider variety of media and machines so the challenge becomes greater and resources wasted on repeat replies could better be channeled into trying to solve these new problems.
There is also the area of trying to get existing programs running as flawlessly as possible while also doing the same with new programs. This is mainly Barry's area but he still needs help to test things and people involved in this area need the time to evaluate changes and additions.
Lobster, Flash & I are doing what we can to provide information in an orderly fashion but as both have noted we are going through a learning stage and have not yet had time to decide on the direction we feel all this should take.
As they have also both pointed out, this is all public and free, contribution of information from the public, consumption of information by the public, provision of Forums, a Wiki and a chat room is all free for the public, the attempts at editing and organizing all this information is also done for free, not just by three of us but by tne public also.
We just happened to be the ones who were available at the time to try and help with the organization of some of these areas and this is our way of contibuting to something we believe in, the same as the rest of you people who contribute to Puppy in any way that you can.
The more people who get involved in the documentation side the more ideas will flow and we can decide on a plan of action but we must remember that the final decision still resides with the people ultimatly in charge of the media, Barry & John.

Drew and Lewis named to AP All-America team
Dec. 13, 2005
UCLA junior tailback Maurice Drew and senior tight end Marcedes Lewis have been selected to the Associated Press All-America team, it was announced today.
Drew, who leads the nation in punt return average and is ninth in all-purpose yards, was named to the first team as the all-purpose player while Lewis, who won the Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end, was selected to the second team.
Last week, both players named to the All-America teams of the Walter Camp Football Foundation and the Football Writers Association of America. Drew also made the American Football Coaches Association team.
Drew leads the nation in punt return average (29.07, which would be a new NCAA record) and has scored on returns of 72, 66 and 81 this year. He also has non-scoring returns of 69 and 59 yards and had a 65-yard touchdown return negated by penalty. His 407 punt return yards have already set a new UCLA single-season record while his three punt return touchdowns have tied the UCLA and Pac-10 single-season records.
Drew is sixth in the NCAA in scoring, averaging 10.91 points per game. He has scored a career-high 20 touchdowns -- 13 running, four receiving and three on punt returns. He ranks ninth nationally in all-purpose yards (160.64) with only 36 yards on kickoff returns.
He is averaging 23.65 yards per touchdown this season and scores every 11.45 times he touches the football.
In 11 games, he has accounted for 1,767 all-purpose yards (160.64 average) and is averaging 7.72 yards every time he touches the football. The 1,767 yards ranks No. 2 in school history, just 37 yards shy of the record of 1,804, set by Theotis Brown in 1978.
He leads the Bruins in rushing (81.82). He has scored 20 touchdowns, No. 2 (tied) on UCLA's single-season list, and is averaging 23.65 yards on those touchdowns, including four of at least 60 yards. He is fourth on the squad with 29 receptions and is averaging 14.6 yards per catch, highest among players with at least seven receptions.
Lewis, the Mackey Award winner, leads the Bruins with 58 receptions, 741 yards (12.8 avg.) and 10 receiving touchdowns -- all career highs and UCLA records for tight ends. His 58 catches shattered the old mark of 44, his 741 yards broke the old record of 631 and his 10 touchdowns broke the mark of seven he set last year.
His average of 5.27 receptions is second nationally among tight ends and his 10 touchdown receptions rank No. 1. He ranks fifth in the Pac-10 with his average of 5.27 receptions, eighth with his average of 67.36 yards per game and third (tied) with his 10 receiving touchdowns. He ranks first in the league among tight ends in all three categories.
His 58 receptions rank No. 7 (tied) on UCLA's single-season list. His 21 career touchdown catches stand as a UCLA record by a tight end and rank No. 2 overall, trailing only J.J. Stokes' record of 28. His 126 receptions rank No. 1 on UCLA's career tight end receiving list and eighth on the school career receptions list. His 1,571 yards also rank No. 1 among tight ends and 13th overall.

If you were to take a poll of Philadelphians about their most beloved sports teams – not respected, beloved – my bet is that two would be at the top of the list: the 1974 Stanley Cup-winning Flyers "Broad Street Bullies" and the 1993 National League champion Philadelphia Phillies.
Many of those Phillies, whom the late Phillies Hall of Fame play-by-play voice Harry Kalas described as a "wonderful band of throwbacks," were back in town last weekend to celebrate the team's 20th anniversary of that improbable year when the team that finished last in 1992 spent the entire 1993 season in first place, topped the favored Atlanta Braves to win the National League Pennant and then lost the World Series to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games.
What made this team so special, what so captured the imagination, support and affection of the city was the total surprise of it all. This was a team made up of many other organizations' castoffs. Only pitcher Curt Schilling, outfielder Lenny Dykstra and catcher/captain Darren Daulton could qualify as stars. Who'd ever heard of John Kruk, Mickey Morandini, Jim Eisenreich, or Mitch Williams when the season started?
But over the weekend, it was clear that for all the oddballs on the team, for all the differences among them off the field, this group became what could be the definition of "team."
That's hard to fathom when you think it was made up of the irrepressibly hard-living Dykstra; the courageous Eisenreich, who overcame Tourette syndrome; the seemingly out-of-shape John Kruk, who famously said that "we're not athletes, we're baseball players"; the clean-cut Kevin Stocker; the veteran pitcher Danny Jackson; the hard-to-shut-up Schilling; the heart-stopping closer Williams; the cover-boy-handsome Daulton, and the hysterically irreverent and funny Larry Andersen.
Pitcher Danny Jackson, who played for seven teams and won two World Series (with the 1985 Kansas City Royals and the 1990 Cincinnati Reds) over his 15-year career, said Saturday, "We were a close team, and I hated leaving this team because from there on it was never the same."
"There was never a team I was part of," he said, "that stayed in the clubhouse for as long as we did and had great times with each other."
While nobody else knew what this group could do, they did.
Manager Jim Fregosi said, "I knew in spring training our club was going to play well. The players on this team cared about each other. They cared about the organization that brought us all together. They cared about the City of Philadelphia because they were a group of really tough guys.
"It was a ball club that was kind of like the City of Philadelphia," Fregosi said. "They loved the players on this team. They related to them. That was a team that gave everything they had."
Curt Schilling, who was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame Friday before the game against Atlanta, said that he, too, knew the group was destined to be something special. He knew that, he said, on the first day of spring training "when Jim Eisenreich threatened to shoot John Kruk with a bow.
"You had 25 guys who were dying to be at the park with each other," Schilling said. "That's different."
They all said that much of the credit for the team's success was due to Darren Dalton's leadership.
Schilling: "I played for almost 20 years and I never, ever, played before or after with a better clubhouse presence than Darren Daulton. He was the reason we did what we did in '93 and the reason the [Florida] Marlins [won the World Series] in '97."
Fregosi: "We had great leadership. Darren Daulton was key to that. I could call Daulton into my office and tell him what I wanted and he would go out and get it done. Players don't like to hear from the manager all the time. They can accept more from their peers than they will from a manager or a coach."
Daulton was central to the events of the weekend. In early July he underwent brain surgery to remove two tumors that turned out to be the devastating glioblastoma, the same cancer that claimed the lives of former Phillies John Vukovich and Tug McGraw. Dutch looked great, was happy to be able to participate in the weekend's events, and received three thunderous standing ovations from the fans when he was announced at each of the three on-field events that were at the core of the weekend.
What was clear, what was palpable last weekend was just how much these guys still care about each other. Fregosi noted that they still act like they did 20 years ago.
To go back to the coach of that other beloved squad, the Flyers Fred Shero famously wrote prior to the team winning the Cup in game six of the finals against Boston, "Win today and we walk together forever."
The 1993 Phillies didn't win their game six. Despite that, from the evidence all around Citizens Bank Park last weekend, this is a team that, like those '74 Flyers, will also walk together forever.

This is a report of action in the town of Northfield, Massachusetts, late on a Monday in April. Men sympathetic to the Regulators had assembled on the west side of the Connecticut River, fired guns, and beat drums. The major body of people in town would have been on the east side of the river. When some of the men from the west side crossed the river in boats, one of them was found to be Moses Dickenson, Jr., who had been tried for treason for his part at Springfield, and had been found not guilty.

School district says rumors of guns at LC-M High School untrue
News release from Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD:
Rumors of students bringing guns to LCM High School or students from another district coming to LCM with guns are running rampant. Law enforcement officials began investigating the rumors last night and have concluded there is no truth to it. Officers are still on campus today, to assure parents of their students' safety. They are investigating Instagram and Facebook messages as well as other ways in which the rumor has been spread and who is responsible for instigating the rumor.
Campus and District administrators want to assure parents that their childrens' safety is at the top of the schools' priorities.
If any findings to the contrary are discovered on any campus, parents would be notified directly.
Sherry Combs, community relations coordinator for LC-M CISD, wrote in email correspondence, "Today we are seeing the negative effects of social media run amok. Not only is this perpetuating incorrect information and scaring parents, it is disruptive to the educational process, which is in the best interest of ALL of our students."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - With the score tied at 3-3 and a split at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, Monday's tennis match between UC Santa Barbara and No. 66 Yale, a continuation of a match that was halted by rain on Sunday, came down to No. 1 doubles.
Trailing 7-4, the Gaucho duo of Nick Brotman and Anders Dalskov rallied for five consecutive points to blow past Yale's Rowan Reynolds and Rory Green, 9-7, giving UCSB a 4-3 victory.
"We were the beneficiary of three double-faults," said UCSB head coach Marty Davis. "But sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. That was a great comeback for Nick and Anders."
The six doubles matches were completed on Sunday afternoon at Santa Barbara's Recreation Center Courts, but the doubles contests were postponed until Monday afternoon. On Sunday, the teams split singles with the Gauchos winning at No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5.
On Monday, the first two doubles matches decided were also split. While UCSB's Carsten Thorstensen and Scott Hohenstein were blanked 8-0 by Braydon Wai and Mike Caldwell at No. 2, Elad Stern and Grant Robertson scored the final four points of their match against the Bulldogs Jeff Dawson and Chris Lawler at No. 3 to win 8-5.
The victory was UCSB's second in a row and it improves the Gauchos overall record to 7-6. Yale falls to 4-5 on the season.
Santa Barbara returns to action on Friday, March 17, when it travels to UC Riverside for a Big West Conference match.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs.

Land Rover Range Rover
From Land Rover press: The Land Rover Range Rover will celebrate its 40th birthday on 17 June, 2010. One of the most significant vehicles in the history of motoring, the Range Rover was the world's first vehicle as good on-road as off-road. It was the first fully capable luxury 4x4 and was a milestone in the development of the SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle).
There have been three generations of Land Rover Range Rover. The original, now known as the Classic, went on sale in 1970 and continued in production, with numerous upgrades and a multiplicity of variants, for just over 25 years.
The 3.5-litre aluminium V8 was enlarged to 3.9 litres in 1989, and then to 4.2 litres in 1992, improving performance and refinement. The three-speed Chrysler automatic gearbox - first available in 1982 - was replaced by a smoother and more efficient ZF four-speed in 1985, further broadening appeal.
The second-generation vehicle, known as the P38a, went on sale in 1994 and was replaced in 2001 by the current model. The continuing success of the Range Rover ensured that other premium makers jumped into the booming luxury SUV market.
The latest version has enjoyed higher annual sales than any previous models and continues to be popular around the world. Sold around the world, from London to Los Angeles, Sydney to Shanghai, Turin to Tokyo, the Range Rover remains the ultimate choice for the luxury SUV customer.
"The Land Rover Range Rover is really four vehicles in one," says managing director Phil Popham. "It's a seven-days-a-week luxury motor car; a leisure vehicle that will range far and wide on the highways and noways of the world; a high performance car for long distance travel; and a working cross-country vehicle."
From princes to politicians, from rock gods to rock climbers, from footballers to farmers, the Range Rover has always appealed to a diverse group of customers.
A second model line, the Range Rover Sport, was launched in 2005, aimed at more sports-oriented driver-focused customers. It has been a great success, and in 2007 was Land Rover's biggest selling vehicle worldwide.
Later this year, a further member of the Range Rover family will be added, taking the portfolio to three model lines. The new vehicle will be smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient, tying in perfectly with the Range Rover brand's commitment to environmental sustainability. Yet it will be no less premium, no less luxurious, and no less special than the other Land Rover Range Rover models.

On Florida spring break, Olander arrested on trespassing charge
UConn junior Tyler Olander was arrested on charges of trespassing early Thursday morning while on spring break in Panama City Beach, Fla.
Olander, 20, was brought in on the charges around 3 a.m. He was released from Bay County Jail Thursday afternoon, according to the records department.
Olander is the second UConn player to be arrested since February. His frontcourt mate, Enosch Wolf, was arrested Feb. 11 by campus police on charges of third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He has yet to enter a plea, and his next court appearance is scheduled for April 24.
Aside from a 16-point performance against Notre Dame, Olander, a 6-foot-9 junior, struggled for the majority of the season. A Mansfield native, Olander averaged just 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game before fracturing his left foot in a late-season loss to South Florida. Surgery on the foot went "flawlessly," the Hartford Courant's Dom Amore tweeted Wednesday.
Olander's case will be heard in court Friday at 4 p.m., according to the sheriff's office.

|Cell Line Description:
|HEK293-HuKCNJ2 cell line is a hypotriploid human cell line, which has been transfected with a human potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 2 (KCNJ2), to allow stably express of the human KCNJ2. It is an example of a cell line transfected using our proprietary CBTGS gene screening and amplification system.
|The human KCNJ2 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of Kir2.1, an inwardly rectifying potassium channel. Mutations in KCNJ2 have been linked to inherited cardiac diseases including Andersens syndrome (a form of long QT with neurologic involvement), Short QT syndrome, and familial atrial fibrillation. Kir2.1 channels expressed in heart are anti-targets in cardiac risk assessment.
|Growth Properties:
|Host Cell:
|Cell Line Validation:
|1. Gene expression: qPCR experiments determined specific expression of human KCNJ2.2. Protein expression: KCNJ2 expression in this cell line has been validated by WB.3. Functional validation: manual patch clamp, PatchXpress.
|Therapeutic Area: cardiac, vascular
|Inward rectifier potassium channels
|Complete growth medium: DMEM/Complete growth medium: Ham's F12; 10% FBS; 500 μg/mL G418Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37.0°C
|Starting Cells From Frozen Cell Stock:
|1. Remove the packaging cell lines from liquid nitrogen and carry out a quick thaw. Float the cells in the 37°C water bath for 2 minutes until nearly (80%) thawed. Once cells are thawed, it is important to dilute the cells 1:10 in growth media immediately to reduce the potentially toxic effects of the DMSO preservative on the cells.2. Clean the outside of the vial with 70% ethanol before opening.3. Remove the cells from the vial and add slowly into a 15ml conical tube containing 10 ml pre-warmed media. 4. Centrifuge for 3 minutes 1000 xg to pellet cells and remove the supernatant.5. Add 14 ml of media and transfer cells to a T25 flask or a 100 mm culture dish.6. Place the cells in the 37°C incubator with 5% CO2.7. Allow incubation for 3-4 days to reach confluence. The cells will re-attach to the surface over a period of several days in culture at 37°C.
|1. Remove and discard culture medium.2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 ml of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.Incubate cultures at 37°C.Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:6 to 1:10 is recommended Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
|Mycoplasma Status: Negative (MycoAlert Kit)
|Freeze Medium:
|Complete growth medium 90%; DMSO, 10%
|Liquid nitrogen
|1. Detach cells from culture dish according to the Sub-Culture Procedure.2. Resuspend cells at a density of 5 x 10^6 cells/mL in freeze medium.Note: A T-75 culture flask typically yields enough cells for preparing two frozen vials.3. Aliquot 1 mL cells into cryogenic vials.4. Place vials in a freezing container and store at –80 °C overnight.5. Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long term storage. If properly stored, cells should remain stable for years.
|Safety Considerations:
|The following safety precautions should be observed.1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum.2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line.3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab.4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells.5. All waste should be considered hazardous.6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach.

The Photographer Series: Ryan Craig
Introducing TransWorld SURF's newest senior photographer Ryan "Chachi" Craig from the mean streets of Santa Cruz…
TransWorld SURF: Years shooting:
Chachi: I've owned a camera for almost 11 years now but started shooting the surf about 7.5 years ago.
Favorite place to shoot photos:
There are definitely some nooks and crannies around SC but the most exciting times are in bigger waves; Pipeline and Mavericks both come to mind.
Favorite surfers to shoot with:
This is an ever-expanding list but my go-to guys back at home are Sundaran Gillespie, Darshan Gooch, Kyle Buthman and Tyler Fox. These are the guys who have been there since I first started dabbling in surfing photography and are still ready to shoot in all conditions. Thanks boys for all the patience over the years.
Best Trip:
I'm glad this category isn't worst trip because I wouldn't have an answer. So far, there has always been something to leave each trip with but a couple of my favorites were Ireland for the amazing camaraderie within the surf and bodyboard community paired with unbelievably waves, Iceland for its one of a kind geology and Chile because it has a feeling of raw openness that I imagine California had a few generations ago.
First photo you had published:
My first season on the North Shore I scored a spread of Kelly Slater in Water magazine as well as the cover of Australian bodyboard magazine Riptide (the poster-book issue). Both images were published at the same time.
Preferred camera:
My preferred camera has yet to be purchased. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a Canon 1D mark 4 shortly.
Water housing of choice:
CMT water housings. Not only the lightest housings on the market, Jay (owner) is a great guy to work with and completely reliable. A great working relationship work the manufacturer is huge in my book.
Sketchiest experience while shooting:
My first season on the North Shore provided a couple sketchy moments in the course of a few days. I got caught inside at rather shallow 1st reef Pipeline and watched a set land about ten feet in front of me. I thought that I would be able to catch the bounce but the energy of the wave was still moving downward; the wave picked me up (in what felt like slow motion) and threw me backward onto the reef. I was wearing a helmet but I wasn't wearing a top and I ended up with some pretty nice cuts all over my back. About five days later I was in a similar situation out at Pipe. Again, I didn't feel like I could be in a worse situation then where I was. I was shooting a surfer and only just started to duck under the wave and got lipped. This particular moment was far more violent. My camera blew out of my hand; I bounced off the reef butt first and finally came up facing the shore completely dizzy. Thankfully my camera leash didn't break and I let the next few waves wash me to the beach. I stumbled in and more or less collapsed onto the sand. I guess the lifeguards had kept on eye on me because one of them came over and asked me how I was after getting caught inside on that set. All in all it was a pretty rough week over there but the type of beating that happens to everyone. It was my first two but definitely not the last.
Best photography advice you ever got:
I don't know about advice but shooting film for a couple years was the best way for me to take time to compose my shots as well as have patience. Having a good understanding of the zone system and light is a great foundation for photography.
What photographers work do you admire:
That's a long list but the first photographer whose work fascinated me was Chris Van Lennep. He was the fisheye guy before Aichner who was also a complete photo wizard. This was long before I owned a camera and before I even knew what a fisheye lens was. There are so many talented photographers out there but maybe subconsciously those guys inspired me the most.
How did you get the nickname "Chachi"?
Nicknames stick and that was the case with Chachi. Not some crazy story (although I suppose I could lie) but I apparently I looked a hell-of-a-lot like Scott Baio from the TV show Happy Days when I was younger. Maybe it was the half bowl-cut mullet I was rocking at 16, I don't know, but almost everyone stopped calling me Ryan and thus the nickname stuck.

The real history of Christianity in the Roman Empire is far more complex – and filled with enough flesh and blood to make it a better story than the one Dan Brown invented.
Related News Story: Some Christians shun 'Da Vinci Code' boycott --
San Francisco Chronicle
The 700 Club talked with Opus Dei's communications director atop their 16-floor U.S. headquarters about the media's perception of the group's secrecy and the effect The Da Vinci Code has had on their organization.
Nathaniel Bell discusses how this film will go down in history as this year's Holy Grail of overblown thrillers despite the hype surrounding it.
"Our concern isn't really with Brown's mistakes about medieval history, but the religious foundations on which his Grail theories are based."
Here are some specific examples of encounters, questions and topics you're likely to hear when you use The Da Vinci Code as a witnessing tool -- and creative ways to respond to those questions and turn them into productive discussions.
Author Eric Metaxas responds to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code from the viewpoint of C.S. Lewis' character Screwtape. Metaxas argues against the claims Brown's novel suggests in this letter addressed to Wormwood.
The Da Vinci Code promotes salvation through sex more effectively than its predecessors because it is an engaging novel. It teaches "sacred sex" not on the basis of Pagan philosophy ... but by invoking the authority of Jesus."
Here are only a few of the errors represented as fact in Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code.
Jesus is a great man or prophet in the earliest historical sources but was later proclaimed divine at the Council of Nicaea.
Jesus is called "God" (theos) 7 times in the New Testament. He is called "Lord" (kyrios) in the divine sense numerous times. No serious historian argues that these texts postdate the Council of Nicaea.
The Dead Sea Scrolls along with the Nag Hammadi documents are the earliest Christian records.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are purely Jewish documents; there is nothing Christian about them. There is also no evidence any of the Nag Hammadi documents existed before the late second century A.D., with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas.
"One particularly troubling theme kept recurring in the [Gnostic] gospels. Mary Magdalene. . . More specifically, her marriage to Jesus Christ" (p. 244).
The Gnostic Gospels, a collection of anonymous writings that blended pseudo-Christian ideas with esoteric spirituality, say nothing about Mary and Jesus being married. *
"The Bible, as we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine" (p. 231).
The Bible was not collated by Constantine, who died in 337 A.D. The Old Testament existed prior to even Jesus's day. And the New Testament, although it started coming together by the end of the first century (about 90-100 A.D.), was not formalized until about 393-397 A.D. (after Constantine's death). *
"The royal bloodline of Jesus Christ has been chronicled in exhaustive detail by scores of historians" (p. 253).
Following this comment about "historians," Dan Brown lists four books written by various authors: Margaret Starbird, Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince. But none of them are historians. Starbird has an M.A. in comparative literature and German. Baigent holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and is pursuing an M.A. in mysticism. Leigh is a novelist and short story writer. Lincoln gained notoriety as a BBC television personality and scriptwriter. And Picknett, along with Prince, is involved in occultism, the paranormal, and UFO studies. *
Leonardo Da Vinci made the following comments about the New Testament: 1) "Many have made a trade of delusions and false miracles, deceiving the stupid multitude"; and 2) "Blinding ignorance does misled us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes" (p. 231).
These remarks have nothing to do with Leonardo's views on scripture. His first comment, in context, is about alchemists who claimed that they could change lead into gold. His second comment, in context, refers to the foolishness of what he called men's "own opinions," "lascivious joys," and "[v]ain splenour." Brown completely misrepresented Leonardo's writings to make it seem as if the great artist detested the Bible. *
"The Jewish Tetragrammaton YHWH—the sacred name for God—in fact derived from Jehovah, an androgynous physical union between the masculine Jah and the pre-Hebraic name for Eve, Havah (p. 309).
YHWH was not derived from "JEHOVAH." The term actually predates "JEHOVAH" by thousands of years. Brown, in fact, has it backwards—i.e., "JEHOVAH" was derived from YHWH. It is merely the sixteenth century Latinized form of YHWH with "a," "o" and "a" (the vowels from adonai, "my Lord") inserted between each consonant (Latinizing the word changed the "Y" and "W" to "J" and "V."). As for the word Havah, there is nothing "pre-Hebraic" about it. This is simply "Eve" in Hebrew and it appears in the Old Testament. *
Constantine "commissioned and financed a new Bible, which omitted those gospels that spoke of Christ's human traits and embellished those gospels that made him godlike. The earlier gospels were outlawed, gathered up and burned" (p. 234).
First, there was no "new" Bible commissioned by Constantine. The emperor simply requested that Eusebius (the Bishop of Carthage) make fifty copies of the already existing and widely accepted scriptures. Second, no evidence suggests that Constantine or anyone else "embellished" Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Third, there were no gospels burned by Constantine. Although some texts written by Arius were burned, none of them were gospels. Fourth, there were no gospels "earlier" than Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Finally, as previusly noted, the gospels in our Bible clearly depict Christ's "human traits," which is consistent with the Christian teaching that Jesus was 100% deity as well as 100% human. *
Sexual union between man and woman through which each became spiritually whole had been recast as a shameful act by the Church to 'reeducate' the pagan and feminine-worshipping religions.
The marriage bed is treasured and honored as pure (Heb. 13:4). Sexual activities and pleasure are normal, expected, and encouraged within a marriage. Sexual union is a divine moment for a husband and a wife -- a representation of the image of God that defines us. God established boundaries around sex to protect it and maximize its joy. *
"[A]ny gospels that described earthly aspects of Jesus' life had to be omitted from the Bible" (p. 244).
The gospels in our New Testament present many "earthly aspects" of Christ's life such as his physical frailties (hunger, fatigue, death); emotions (anguish, outrage, love); and relational interactions (with his mother, friends, and followers). *
Leonardo's worship of the goddess and the feminine can be seen in his Mona Lisa painting. That name comes from two Egyptian deities: the god Amon and the goddess Isis, whose "ancient pictogram was once called L'ISA. The title Mona Lisa, then, is really "an anagram of the divine union of male and female (p. 121).
Leonardao Da Vinci did not even name this particular painting. None of his works, in fact, were titled by him. The Mona Lisa was catalogud by author Giorgio Vasari in his book Lives of the Artists (1550). It was he who first called it the Monna Lisa, which in English was shortened to Mona Lisa. It simply means Madame Lisa, and refers to the likely subject: Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. *

Is this the Jeff Ho I knew in El Cerrito, DeJon the Whiterdragon
Well, I know the Simpsons cast are VERY possessive/protective of their respective characters (for example, Shearer made a BIG stink about the episode where Skinner turns out to be a fraud; and I happen to agree).
And the Christopher Guest movies I believe are very improvisational. Plues he's like a standard part of those movies, I'm sure he gets a lot of input from the start.
I idolize this guy. He is the absolute role model for me. You just can't begin to characterize this mans talents - comic genius is probably understated. Personally, I'm grateful for the inspiration he provides with his endless creativity. I wish I could get a chance to be a fly on the wall one day of his life just to see if he is grounded after such a surreal career. His vocal talents are so monumental - Mel Blanc and Harry Shearer are immortals with an exponential presence. Amazing Dude. I wonder how much he helped developed his main characters ?
re: Comment by catradhtem
It's interesting that you're so impressed by awards -- guess who beat out the Cars and Talking Heads for the Grammy for Best New Artist of 1978: Taste of Honey. Surely you'll recall their immortal hit "Boogie Ooggie Ooggie" & their subsequent contributions to the world of music.
My "hack" comment re: Weird Al Yankovic was not about his talent -- obviously, the man has talent for performing, presentation, adaptation, etc. I referred to him as a "hack" because the edgy, fearless Mr. AY gets the cooperation of those he's making fun of! See this from an article on Weird Al from Slate ( slate.com/id/2151657/fr/rss/ ):
He even earned the adoration of the artists he parodied: Jackson donated his "Bad" set for the "Fat" video, and Nirvana loaned him their janitor. (Prince is the rare artist who's been impervious to his charms; he's refused permission repeatedly.)
Imagine Sat. Night Live, George Carlin, Mad TV, Sarah Silverman, or Lenny Bruce getting the permission & cooperation of the targets of their satire/humor! "Is it OK if I make fun of you?" Boy, has Al got guts!
Mark Keresman
"Hacks like that Weird Al Yankovic?" Geez, what a small-minded, snobby thing to say, and it's great how you chose to neglect to mention that Al is featured on that Spike Jones DVD, so clearly Spike's family and friends don't share your sentiment. Perhaps the fact that you refer to "Saturday Night Live" as a "performer" (and refer to Ween as a comedy band...or have the nerve to equate the painfully unfunny Sarah Silverman with Lenny Bruce, for that matter) sums up your own pop culture intellect.
"Hacks" don't go on to win three Grammys and be nominated for eight others, don't get Gold and Platinum Records with every release, and certainly don't get a top ten album or single thirty years into their career. Evidently everyone else seems to feel that Al is an artist, maybe not up to your obvious and supposedly well-thought-out standards, but an artist nevertheless.
But I guess not everyone can achieve the artistic and personal fulfillment of writing slapped-together DVD review capsules.

Goldwater73 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Have You Pee'd Today?
I am an 18-year veteran/escapee of corporate America who knows what it's like to have a husband, child and full time job. I am starting a web community for women of this "club" to join and tell stories, support each other and learn how to simplify so that they are less stressed with life's everyday stuff. I will offer tools, products and a place to be with others who really get it about the life of these women.
Working moms 35 - 55. Every mom is a working mom and stay at home moms are also appropriate, but the real target is moms with jobs outside of being a mom whether they work out of the house or an outside company. When they are at work they are thinking about home and when they are at home they are thinking about work. This market feels like everyone wants a piece of them and they have gotten so used to putting just about everyone ahead of themselves that they often forget to take care of the basics in their own life, hence the title of the website, which has resonated with women that I have spoken to about it.
I want a logo that shows a woman sitting at a desk slightly looking out (to the viewer) with her legs crossed and an expression on her face like she has to go to the bathroom (biting lip?). She may have a telephone in the crook of her shoulder, with signs that there are kids in her life such as artwork on her board, kid stuff overflowing a satchel type bag on the floor, a couple of pairs of shoes under the desk (one being sneakers).
See the 2 illustrations on the left. However, my customers are multi-taskers who pride themselves on getting everything done and done well. Time is of the essence, so maybe a big watch or clock?
The logo should represent these women, their stress, legs crossed, and their struggle wtih life/work balance.

The acclaimed poet Marie Ponsot began writing poetry for America in the 1950s. Elizabeth Kirkland Cahill writes about the poet's love of language in the February 14 issue. Here we offer a few of Ponsot's compositions for the magazine:
Rejoice rejoice that the taken seed
asserts its place; the voice
love summoned up now shouts out, Be
become, come; we
dare to rejoice.
Others name God, praise God;
we merely and perfectiy exhibit Him;
our silent blood embraces seed and shape
God warrants good. Our rejoicing voices
tremble but do not trouble the unborn
witnesses who wear
God's garment gloriously.
Glory be to God or love and love, the time
needs lovers; make them.
Lunar months will form, wake and show them
sacred forever and knowing, as may
the God-made, God-loved, how to love.
May 21, 1955
adam, afterward
Struggle makes its own strict sense.
The will kept sharp keeps free.
Learns reflex skill, cuts out pretense
(the eye in the reed, the joint in the vine,
the knot in the tree),
Dark evidence beneath the bark
Stars the wood where marvelousiy
Fruited branches rose, and left a mark
(the eye in the reed, the joint in the vine,
the knot in the tree).
The notch is thick-rimmed to maintain
Grapes rounding out with wine
Against the beat and weight of rain
(the knot in the tree, the eye in the reed,
the joint in the vine).
Rushes raise up a thread-spined length
In tlie chancy thrust toward seed,
Rooted and standing in fragile strength
(the joint in the vine, the knot in the tree,
the eye in the reed).
Bones never broken lack the core
And doubled strength of tbose that be
Knitted to themselves once more
(the eye in the reed, the joint in the vine,
the knot in die tree).
March 22, 1958
He who would present himself
Before your gates
Buys back his bartered blood
Trusting you with his hates.
Who, hurrying, would trace your way,
Adjust to you as you are.
Even harried in the everyday, let's say,
Shadow of a midtown bar,
Will make work child's play.
Will pray his work, must be prepared
In tracking you, to see at any time
Himself, sacked, dead-ended, scared,
Stopped on a dime
And, where your passageway ought to wind
There he will face a mirrored wall
With a mirrored wall behind.
He must expect though he wants to advance
To crash to his knees in fear
At the last, as the walls smash and
Their glancing fragments dance,
Dissolve and disappear.
Who learns you by heart is hushed for good.
Is hotly, loudly, true.
Is not even by his own mind understood;
Who by heart learns you
Will decrease, will increase,
Will have all anguish as his neighborhood,
And as his mother, peace.

Cassation for Good Friday
Space drains from the air between the woman and son;
They seem closer together; dark overleaps the land
As hope and memory pour into the shape of time
And time, at its full, at crux, crashes.
Silent, the woman of fifty and her sudden son
Keep their eyes empty of refusal, continue to stand,
Continue to watch the high man leap to his iron limit
In shortening thrusts.
Feathered by the lash
Like a love-wild bird he leaps for breath.
At tlie end of the dance he invents death.
At the end of the love-dance, the used-up man
Bows mystery-high in the quiet, exploded air.
The dancer hangs. The lover goes. The sky bends
Up, back and away from woman and boy, who stare
As if at each other; home, she goes to the window;
A lion lounges down the street.
The boy is waiting for friends.
Every unsuitable thing takes place.
The day never ends.
April 23, 1960
