High Point, NC- Barton College has been voted by Conference Carolinas head coaches as this year's preseason league favorite. Barton's women's basketball team has played in three of the last six NCAA D-II tournaments and would like nothing more than to be tipping off in the postseason come March of 2010. Head coach Wendee Saintsing, in her 21st season, returns three starters (Esty Flores, Jannetta Robinson and Jamila Johnson) and has a freshman class of nine, so developing team chemistry will have a lot to do with how successful the Lady Bulldogs will be this year. Three other players return from a 2008-09 squad that finished 22-6 overall and won the Conference Carolinas regular-season championship at 18-4. However, the Lady Bulldogs were left out of the NCAA Tournament, so they have a point to prove this season.
Flores, the 5-foot-3 point guard and reigning Conference Player of the Year, will again run the show for Barton. The All-Southeast Region first-team pick averaged 20.5 points and 5.1 assists last season. Senior 6-1 center Sharnita Alston, 5-8 junior Destiny Hamlin and 6-2 junior Kelsey Sill are experienced players as well.
"Nobody knows what you have," Saintsing said. "It (preseason poll) is really based on last year, so you can't put a lot of weight in preseason polls. We're young and talented, so I think that success will come when we are able to gel and get everybody thinking and doing the same thing. It's just a matter of how long that will take."
Mount Olive College places second in this year's preseason poll as they return three starters from last year's squad, which eclipsed the 20-win mark for the second straight year and made their second consecutive appearance in the Conference Carolinas Tournament championship game. The Trojans rode a school-record 14-game winning streak to a 23-7 mark and finished second in the conference standings with a 17-5 record. Senior forward Jasmine Whitby earned All-Southeast Region honors and was named to the All-Conference Carolinas first team. Whitby became the first player in Trojan basketball history – women or men – to record a "30-20" game with 32 points and 20 rebounds against Erskine. She ranked seventh in the conference in scoring with a 15.8 average and also ranked in the top five in rebounds and steals.
Also returning is junior point guard Shequanta McGee and junior forward Brittany Miller. McGee ranked sixth in the conference in assists and hit a crucial three-pointer in the final minute of the Trojans' semifinal win over Belmont Abbey in last year's Conference Carolinas Tournament. Miller ranked sixth in the conference last year with a 53.7 percent field goal percentage and blocked a three-point attempt at the buzzer in a two-point win at Queens. After winning the Conference Carolinas Tournament championship and advancing to the NCAA Tournament Regional semifinals in 2007-08, Mount Olive was conference tournament runner-up last year.
Anderson University comes in tied for the third-place spot in the preseason poll with Belmont Abbey. The Trojans are coming off their sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament following their fourth Conference Carolinas tournament championship. The Trojans return five players, including two starters, from last year's squad, which posted an 18-13 overall and 14-8 league record after winning nine of their last 11 games. The backcourt is anchored by guards Shanice Wilson and junior Alexa Neal. Wilson started all 31 games, while Neal started 28 contests. Neal earned All-Tournament accolades and Honorable Mention All-Conference honors after averaging 14.5 points and a team-high 4.4 assists (ranking fourth in the conference). The Trojans also welcome eight newcomers to the 2009-10 squad.
The Belmont Abbey College women's basketball team returns seven players, including its top three leading scorers, for Coach Susan Yow, who will be entering her third season after guiding the Lady Crusaders to back-to-back 19-10 records (16-6 league record). Forward Shayla Jackson returns as the Abbey's leading scorer at 13.4 points per game, while senior guards Courtney Naquin and Ashley Giddens averaged 12.9 and 9.76 per game, respectively. The returners will complement five recruits for the upcoming season - Kelsey Campbell, Alyx Ingram, Kiandria "Kiki" Allen, Dana Middleton and Autumn Smith-Faulkner.
Rounding out the lady's poll 5-12 was: Queens, Erskine, Coker, Limestone, Pfeiffer, Lees-McRae, Converse, and St. Andrews respectively.

A child who was a passenger in his mother's vehicle that was involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 64 East near Thomasville has died.
A child who was a passenger in his mother's vehicle that was involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 64 East near Thomasville has died.
Jared Quintero, 4, died Thursday morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.
The Highway Patrol said Oct. 4 that the boy's mother, Maribel Chavez, 31, had been charged with careless and reckless driving, driving with a canceled driver's license and a child restraint violation. A Highway Patrol spokeswoman said Friday morning troopers will confer with the Davidson County District Attorney's Office regarding possible additional charges.
Troopers responded to the accident on U.S. Highway 64 East near Blackberry Road in the Silver Valley community at 2 p.m. Sept. 29.
According to the Highway Patrol, a 2007 Nissan passenger vehicle being driven by Chavez was traveling west on U.S. Highway 64 when she ran off the right shoulder of the roadway and lost control. Her vehicle came back on the roadway, went across the center line and struck a tractor-trailer being driven by Ward Wesley Rolant Jr., 60, of Harvard Place, Asheville. Both the tractor-trailer and Nissan went off the shoulder and came to rest, according to the Highway Patrol.
Chavez had three children, Joyce, 10, Gianluigi, 6, and Jared, as passengers. A WFMBC spokeswoman previously said Gianluigi was treated and released. A hospital spokeswoman said Friday that Chavez and Joyce were not listed as patients.

Gettin brown more involved fixes a lot of issues plain and simple. This offense is so frustrating mostly because of predictable play calling and Bradshaw dancing. Someone offer gilbride a hc job please
I guess we should do more no-huddle offense then, like we do in the 2 minute drill...it's when we're most successful at moving the chains, and I see most opposing offense running that against us and it annoys the crap out of me

Mrs. Jellyby, whose face reflected none of the uneasiness which we could not help showing in our own faces as the dear child's head recorded its passage with a bump on every stair — Richard afterwards said he counted seven, besides one for the landing — received us with perfect equanimity.Doesn't that sentence make you feel like diagramming it... just for fun?
I like sentences like that — I think — because I like conversational side roads especially when they get you back to the main road. That relates to the way I feel about blogging. For example, the reason I was out there in Project Gutenberg searching for "Africa" on a webpage that contained the entire text of what is — in paperback — a 544-page book is that — like everyone else who checked Memeorandum today — I got waylaid by a NY Post story titled "Florida banker's wife left family to join Wall Street protesters."
A married mother of four from Florida ditched her family to become part of the raggedy mob in Zuccotti Park -- keeping the park clean by day and keeping herself warm at night with the help of a young waiter from Brooklyn.
"I'm not planning on going home," an unapologetic Stacey Hessler, 38, told The Post yesterday.
"I have no idea what the future holds, but I'm here indefinitely. Forever," said Hessler, whose home in DeLand sits 911 miles from the tarp she's been sleeping under.
Hessler — who ironically is married to a banker — arrived 12 days ago and planned to stay for a week, but changed her plans after cozying up to some like-minded radicals, including Rami Shamir, 30, a waiter at a French bistro in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.Hey, check the dashes: "— who ironically is married to a banker —." Ironic? Or not ironic at all? It's just what you'd expect if you were reading a novel about a woman married to a banker. Stacey Hessler immediately called to mind Mrs. Jellyby. Remember Mrs. Jellyby? She's a minor character in "Bleak House." Here's a summary/spoiler:
[Mrs. Jellyby] resolutely devotes every waking hour to the "Borrioboola-Gha venture." The reader never discovers the details of the endeavor except that it involves the settlement of impoverished Britons among African natives with the goal of supporting themselves through coffee growing.Like a sentence with well-deployed dashes, it all comes together in the end.
Mrs. Jellyby is convinced that no other undertaking in life is so worthwhile, or would solve so many problems at a stroke. Dickens's interest is not in the project, however, but rather in Mrs. Jellyby, who is so wedded to her work that she has no time for her several children, with the exception of Caddy, a daughter she has conscripted as her secretary. Ink-spattered Caddy puts in nearly as many hours as her mother in the daily task of answering letters and sending out literature about Borrioboola-Gha.
Caddy, however, has come to hate the very word "Africa" or any word that has the remotest suggestion of causes. For her, causes simply mean the ruin of family life. Mrs. Jellyby's husband eventually becomes suicidal and, though surviving despair, is last seen in the book with his head resting despondently on a wall.
In the book's postscript, we discover that the Borrioboola-Gha project failed after the local king sold the project's volunteers into slavery in order to buy rum. Mrs. Jellyby quickly found another cause to occupy her time, "a mission with more correspondence than the old one," thus providing a happy ending for a permanent campaigner.

Lattice Semiconductor Will Demonstrate "Mobile Innovation" at CES 2013
FPGA-Based Solutions Give Designers the Green Light Without Waiting for New Chipsets
By: Marketwired .
Dec. 3, 2012 03:01 AM
HILLSBORO, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced it will host a private meeting suite at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January 8-11 in Las Vegas, where it will demonstrate several new FPGA-based design solutions for consumer and mobile devices. Lattice suite 2980 will be located in the East Tower, Las Vegas Hotel. To register for a specific time to visit with Lattice and discuss how mobile innovation can help with your specific design challenges, please visit Lattice Mobile Innovation.
With their small form factors, low power consumption and low cost, Lattice's iCE40 and MachXO2 FPGAs are being widely adopted in the design of mobile devices and consumer electronics products such as smart phones, tablets, e-readers, digital cameras and flat panel TVs, among others. Programmable FPGAs are an ideal design solution for the rapidly changing consumer market, because they allow manufacturers to differentiate their products quickly and easily.
"Only Lattice is enabling continuous mobile innovation with the lowest power, smallest form factor FPGAs available for mobile and consumer product design," said Harry Raftopoulos, Lattice Senior Director of Consumer Marketing. "Using our FPGAs, designers are free to innovate without waiting for the next generation of application processors, and this means their products get to market faster with the features consumers want today."
A New Breed of FPGAs for Mobile Innovation
So, what is the designer of consumer and mobile products to do? In order to meet unforgiving schedules, readily available chipsets must be used. But yesterday's application processors often fail to meet today's market demands.
One approach would be to use an FPGA as a "companion" to the application processor, enabling designers to respond to contemporary consumer demand without waiting years for new chipsets. But, until recently, this was not an option. FPGAs were simply too big, too expensive and too power-hungry for use in consumer devices. Now, however, ultra-low density FPGAs like the Lattice MachXO2 and iCE40 devices are specifically targeted at the needs of small, inexpensive, power-sensitive consumer devices. This new breed of FPGA can be used to supplement an application processor and enable designers to pursue continuous "mobile innovation."
Hands-on Examples of Mobile Innovation

Updating the software in G-Series Processor Module
How do I upgrade the software in my G-Series Processor Module (GMP400)? Is it something I can do myself?
Updating the software in the G-Series Processor Module (GPM) is fast and easy using a commonly available Compact Flash (CF) memory card and a CF memory card reader/writer for your PC or Mac.
Before beginning the software upgrade, you may wish to read the following related answers from the Raymarine knowledge base:
Choosing Compact Flash Cards and Reader/Writers
Please click HERE to download the latest software
NOTE: If you have not already done so online, you will be prompted to register your GPM(s) with Raymarine before you can download the software file.To register your product, you will need to know your GPM's serial number which can be found on the rear of the GPM, on the UPC code on the end of the original box your display came in, or under the UPC code on the product registration decal that came with your display or via the following G-Series command sequence:
One of theses decals should have been affixed to the record card in your G-Series Reference Manual.
UnZipping the Software DownloadThere are software downloads available for users of both Windows-based PC's and Apple Mac Computers.The Windows-based PC version of the download is a self-extracting WinZip file. Simply double click on the GPM400 Software Update vx.xx (.exe) hyperlink on the G-Series Software web page. When the File Download Security dialog is displayed, click on the Run button within this dialog. After the Download Progress dialog indicates that the download is complete, then an Internet Explorer - Security Warning dialog will be displayed asking whether the downloaded file (GPM400_APP_xxx.exe) should be run. Click on the Run button within this dialog. Doing so will cause the WinZip Self Extractor to be run and the corresponding extractor dialog to be displayed. The WinZip Self-Extractor will extract files to the following default location: C:\Raymarine\G Series\GPM400\Vx.xx (where x.xx is the version #)
If satisfied with this location, then click the UNZIP button. When the file extraction is compete, close the WinZip Self-Extractor.The Mac version of the software is a simple ZIP file. Use your own Stuff-It Expander software to open and extract the software file. Windows users who are familiar with Win Zip can also download and use this file if they desire.
Copying Files to a Compact flash Memory Card
PC Users: point your computer to: C:\Raymarine\G Series\GPM400\Vx.xx (where x.xx is the version #)
Inside the Vx.xx folder you should find a file named "autorung" and also an APP file. The exact name of the APP file will vary slightly depending on the software version number, but will look very close to "autorung.app."
Mac users, go to the location you extracted the files contained in the ZIP file to. You should see the same DOB and PKG files as mentioned above.
Using your CF memory card and your computer's CF reader/writer, copy both the autorung and APP file to the root directory of the CF memory card. For example, if your CF reader/writer is drive E: on your system, then these files be copied directly to the E: drive, and not into a subfolder within the E: drive.
Your CF memory card is now ready.Upgrading the GPM

Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? 867
Another submitter sent in a related submission about the collision data recorders in many late-model cars - which serve a similar purpose as the black boxes described above, but generally only record the last five seconds before an accident.
geemon writes "With the recent stories of rental car companies using GPS to track how and where their patrons are using their vehicles, this information about autos from 1996 and newer having an airplane-like accident "black box" capability was a complete surprise. Tucked under the drivers seat of most GM vehicles, the "black box" can store a variety of info such as vehicle and engine speed, braking, and seat belt usage. Info from an accident reconstruction service that uses this data can be found here. Called "event data recorders", these devices were, "...Originally designed to improve air bag performance based on the severity of the collision, the event data recorder can tell traffic accident investigators about the car's speed; engine RPMs; how far the accelerator pedal was pressed; if the brakes were applied; whether the drivers seatbelt was buckled and what warning lights were on - all from five seconds before impact..." It seems that GM and perhaps Ford have been using this for some time. Here is one company that makes the Windows based retrieval hardware/software combo for $2500. Imagine the uses of this data that law enforcement, your insurance company, and lawyers may have after your next little mishap."

Between July 28 and last Saturday a thief or thieves went on a crime spree during the early-morning hours, rifling through unlocked cars parked in driveways in East Hampton and Springs. Most often, they stole global positioning systems.
East Hampton Town police have received at least 10 complaints to date, and say there may be more that have not been reported.
Most of the thefts were in Springs, three of them on Crystal Drive. Bruce Daniels alerted police last Thursday morning that someone had gone through all three unlocked vehicles on his property. Little in the way of valuables was reported removed. On the same day and the same street, Wilmer Barrera and Victor Montano said their cars had been searched the previous night and that a Garmin GPS and a car radio had been stolen. Each was valued at $160.
John Malone of Cedar Drive said his unlocked car, parked in his driveway, had been searched during the early morning hours last Saturday, and that an early-model iPod was gone. The thief went through a second car as well, he said, but it contained nothing of value to be stolen.
That same morning, Kelly King of Dogwood Drive told police a GPS device valued at $110 had been removed from his vehicle, parked in his driveway.
Jay Ellenberg reported another stolen Garmin GPS that day. Mr. Ellenberg's car was parked on Sycamore Drive.
Montauk Boulevard had several cars struck by the bandits. Richard Muney lost a handbag and $40 cash; Russell Gordon reported a damaged windshield wiper but nothing missing, and Cheryl Menary found both a cracked windshield and a damaged wiper.
James Kennedy of Pembroke Drive lost $150 cash and a black leather wallet, along with a credit card. Mr. Kennedy's roommate told police he'd seen a man with a flashlight near the car at about 3 a.m., who ran away when he went out to check.
There was one complaint from East Hampton, on Boatheader's Lane, where a CD player was taken from a van on July 28, as well as a GPS device from a car parked at the same location.

Annual consultant appointmentMay 14, 2013 at 8:47 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment
Well I had my annual appointment today with the consultant. He was running nearly two hours late, but I couldn't complain; if I need that sort of time one day, I'll want him to spend it on me, so I can't complain when someone else needs his time and he gives it to them.
Having said that, I did get chatting to another patient over the tea and biccies they bring when they're running outrageously late, and we ended up talking about Mr Consultant. 'Is it just me,' says I, 'or does he always seem really bored?'
'Oh my, yes,' my new friend replied, 'and he always talks at the notes or the dictaphone, not at you.'
We carried on in this vein for a while, and then talked of other things. It made the time go so much faster having someone to chat to, and luckily for me she was next in line after me, so I could chat to her right up until I was called in.
So I went in expecting a bored and fed up Mr Consultant to glance and me and start chatting to his dictaphone, but no such thing. Just like the experience I had with the nurse six months ago, it was as though he'd had a personality transplant. He was charm itself. We talked through my issues, and instead of saying 'Well, the bloods are fine, go away and stop bothering me'* he listened carefully as I told him about the various flares in the last six months, examined me, and agreed that if I had had flares and needed steroids, clearly my disease was not fully controlled.
The upshot of it is that my methotrexate dose is increasing to 17.5 mg and we'll see how we go from there.
I was able to tell my buddy on the way out that she needn't worry, Mr Consultant was in a good mood today; I just hope she found the same!
* Not that he's ever been that blunt, it just feels that way!

Catfishing is good on the Ouachita River.
BLACK BAYOU — Some big bream are being caught on the beds using crickets or worms. Bass are hitting floating worms, lizards and buzz baits. Crappie are scattered. For latest information, contact the Honey Hole at 323.8707.
CANEY LAKE — Chinquapins are moving to the shallow beds and are hitting worms and small crawfish. Bluegills are also starting to bite crickets and worms. Some of the bigger female bass have moved out to 10 foot water and are best on jigs and crank baits while smaller buck bass are in the shallows protecting the nests. Crappie fishing is best around the tops in 10 foot water. For more information, call the Honey Hole at 323.8707.
CHENIERE LAKE — Bream fishing is good on worms and crickets around shallow beds. Crappie are scattered. Bass are starting to hit the Wobblehead and small white spinner baits. Call the Honey Hole at 323-8707 for more information.
LAKE CLAIBORNE — Stripers and small to medium sized bass are in the shallows chasing shad and have been biting good on spinner baits. Stripers are also schooling and a good many have been caught trolling white bucktails over deep water. Bream are on the beds and fishing has been good using worms and crickets. Crappie fishing has been good fishing shiners or jigs around the tops in 10 foot water. For latest information, call Tim Lofton at Kel's Cove at 927.2264.
LAKE D'ARBONNE — Some crappie are still spawning while most have started moving out around deeper tops. Shiners, gray and red Black Lake hair jigs and Bobby Garland Blue Thunder jigs are picking up some fish. Bass are in and out of the shallows and some are being caught on spinner baits and soft plastics. Bream fishing has kicked in with lots caught on worms and crickets while catfishing is good around the lake on cold worms. For latest information, call Anderson's Sport Center at 318.368.9669.

The plan? Kevin and I ride to Pescadero/San Gregorio/Tunitas and back. The usual coastal run. The weather? We knew it was going to be questionable at best, but we're strong enough, we're stupid enough, and we've got the gear for it. We got going around 9:50am (fairly early for us!) and headed out into a light drizzle, nothing nasty, just enough to make it not much fun. Almost nobody else out on the road; we saw 3 people on Canada, and not a single cyclist heading up or down Old LaHonda! A rare day indeed.
We weren't burning up the pavement on the climb, but we weren't slacking either, just a good, steady climb, knowing we had a long ride ahead of us. About 2/3rds of the way up Kevin's dropped back a bit, and I look back on the last steep corner and he's heading to the edge of the road and getting off his bike. Unfortunately I know where this is going; he's had a bit of warning that a seizure is coming on, and the ones where he gets the warnings are the ones that tend to be a bit bigger. This was no exception; he was tensed up for about two minutes before coming out of it. We got back on and continued up the hill, delayed by no more than 5 minutes, but as the rain got heavier & the temps got colder, Kevin had lost his enthusiasm for the Pescadero Bakery so we scaled things back, heading down west-side Old LaHonda but then back up to Skyline and north all the way to 92 and back Canada. Even though significantly shortened (37 miles instead of 58), it still wasn't easy, with the rain getting pretty heavy up on Skyline, soaking through our gloves, and the temperature holding steady at 45. At one point Kevin said, in a way that could have been mistaken for sarcasm, "This is what we do for fun." But it wasn't sarcastic; in our own warped minds, it was fun!

Concept (1)
If you want to make your math life incredibly easier, memorize the sine and cosine values for pi/3, pi/4, and pi/6, as well as 0, pi/2, and pi. These values constantly reappear throughout Trigonometry and pre-Calculus problems and proofs. When evaluating sine It is also useful to memorize the conversion from radians to degrees for these values; for example, to remember that pi/6 is equivalent to 30 .

The term "amenorrhea" literally means an absence of menstrual bleeding. In medicine, it is used to indicate one of two conditions: the cessation of menstrual cycle in a woman of menstrual age or the failure to develop a menstrual cycle at all in a young woman who has reached the age of 16 years old. This article only addresses the first of these conditions, technically called "secondary amenorrhea." To avoid using this long term, we will simply refer to the condition here as "amenorrhea."
There are many causes of amenorrhea. Severe weight loss, such as may occur in a woman with anorexia nervosa, can cause the menstrual period to stop. So can extreme exercise, such as marathon running, bodybuilding, or professional-caliber ballet dancing.
Young women who go to college may develop amenorrhea too, possibly from stress or perhaps as a reflex reaction to what the body considers a "migration." Pregnancy and nursing stop the menstrual cycle by design. Finally, women who have used
oral contraceptives
may find that it takes a while for a normal menstrual cycle to return after discontinuing them.
More rarely, amenorrhea may indicate a serious medical condition, such as a disorder of the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, or the ovaries. For this reason, it's a good idea to check with your doctor if you miss more than one menstrual period, to see if more evaluation is needed. Medical treatment for amenorrhea depends on the cause. If examination reveals no underlying cause, physicians may recommend a period of oral contraceptive use to start up the cycle.
The hormone
, available (probably inappropriately) as an ingredient in some "natural" creams, may help restore the menstrual cycle. In one
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
, oral use of a micronized form of progesterone restored a normal menstrual cycle in women with secondary amenorrhea.
However, although progesterone is marketed as a "natural hormone," it is as much a drug as estrogen, and should never be used without medical supervision.
In some women, the pituitary gland produces excess levels of prolactin. Prolactin is a hormone that naturally rises during pregnancy to stimulate milk production; it can also cause amenorrhea. Excessive pituitary prolactin release is a condition that must be investigated medically because it may indicate the presence of a tumor. However, it is possible that slight abnormalities in prolactin level without a dangerous medical cause may trigger amenorrhea in some women. The herb
is thought to reduce prolactin levels,
and for this reason it has been tried for amenorrhea.
However, as yet no double-blind, placebo-controlled trials on this potential use of chasteberry have been reported. The herb
is also thought to reduce prolactin levels,
but it too has not been tested for amenorrhea.
Other commonly proposed natural treatments for amenorrhea include the supplements
vitamin B
and the herbs
blue cohosh
, angelica, asafetida, alfalfa seed, motherwort,
, and rue. However, there is no meaningful scientific evidence to indicate whether they are effective.
For reasons that are not entirely clear, women with amenorrhea often have an accelerated rate of bone loss, potentially leading to
. Women who have developed amenorrhea due to heavy exercise tend to experience an accelerated rate of bone loss, which may lead to osteoporosis. Unfortunately,
vitamin D
supplements are not sufficient to protect bone mass under these circumstances.
Stronger measures, such as reducing exercise or using medications, may be necessary.
Substances called
, found in many foods but most especially in
flax seeds
, may increase levels of prolactin.
As noted above, this could tend to cause amenorrhea.
Finally, certain herbs and supplements may interact with oral contraceptive drugs used to treat amenorrhea. For more information, see the
Oral Contraceptive
article in the

On the eve of Nov. 26, when a consortium was to sign a contract to buy Next Media Group's Taiwanese businesses, dozens of students gathered in front of the Executive Yuan despite the cold and heavy rain, urging the government to stop Chinese influence over Taiwanese media, to oppose media monopolies and to safeguard press freedom. The students waited for a day and a night, but the authorities refused to engage them in a dialogue.
Their failure was not very surprising. Still, seeing their mobilization, organization, publicity materials, division of labor and discourse, I was pleased to see the genesis of a new, mature, social movement. I would like to call this generation the "Wild Strawberry generation."
Many of the protesters were part of the 2008 Wild Strawberry Movement. The movement was sparked in 2008 by controversy over the Parade and Assembly Act (集會遊行法), when the government clamped down on protests against a visit by China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits Chairman Chen Yunlin (陳雲林). These so-called "seventh-graders" — Taiwanese born between 1981 and 1990 — successfully reversed the negative image of the so-called "Strawberry generation" by fighting against the act, which violated the spirit of democracy and freedom.
The Wild Strawberry Movement is different from the 1990 Wild Lily Student Movement. The 1980s saw an increase in the number of dissident clubs at universities, facilitating the mobilization of students into the Wild Lily Movement and helping it achieve its goal of political reform. Those who later launched and participated in the Wild Strawberry Movement mostly stood out because of their "pure" sense of justice. When the government and society paid them scant attention, the movement eventually failed. Still, the 2008 movement planted the seeds for the birth of the Wild Strawberry generation this year.
Unlike the Wild Lily movement, the demise of the Wild Strawberry Movement led to the birth of the Wild Strawberry generation. After the young strawberries returned to campus from the streets, they have established dissident organizations, prepared publications and built a network across schools. Recently, they have even reached the relatively quiet National Dong Hwa University in Hualien County, where they are organizing study groups, holding activities inside and outside school, and learning from others to enrich themselves. They have walked into rural villages, factories and urban renewal project sites, and participated in farmers', workers', gay and student movements. They have raised their voices against the Kuokuang Petrochemical Technology Co expansion project, excessive water consumption at the Central Taiwan Science Park, the Urban Renewal Act (都市更新條例) and media monopoly.
As a teacher who protected the Wild Strawberry Movement in 2008, a partner who has closely observed and cared about the wild strawberry generation over the past four years and a mother of a young strawberry, I am glad to say that the birth of the Wild Strawberry generation is the nation's new hope. The Wild Strawberry Movement in 2008 was haunted by the confrontation between the pan-blue and pan-green camps, as well as the unification-independence issue.
Today, such controversy can no longer confine them. They are pursuing the universal values of justice and freedom, and fighting all kinds of hegemony. Be it the People's Republic of China (PRC), President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) administration, or the collusive media structure of the Want Want China Times Group, they do not duck any challenges. Whoever the "monsters" may be, the wild strawberries are going to confront them. In these confrontations, I can see the nation's future.

Comments about LuxPro PSP611 1 Heat / 1 Cool Programmable Thermostat With Humidity Display:
I consider myself a low grade Handyman, this Thermostat was EASY to install. I only have Heat connected but this thermostat will do Heat and AC. I was reluctant at first to purchase because of some bad reviews and I must admit, when the thermostat ' kicks on ' it makes a pretty audible ' click ' noise. It is in our bedroom hallway so sometimes it does wake me up in the middle of the night. That is the only disappointing factor of this thermostat really. It was so easy to install and the controls are soo easy to adjust. Now I no longer have to worry that I left the apartment for the day and left my thermostat too high. I think it holds the temperature very well, and I love the back light. This thermostat just works and theres not any ' bells and whistles' that would make it over complicated.

When I learned that the unit I had chosen was no longer available, I called ProTherm to learn what my options were. The customer service woman I spoke with was cordial, professional and, above all, knowledgeable!
The product I purchased is easy to program and works well. I especially like that it can be taken off the wall easily to program.
I will certainly return to ProTherm for any future control needs.

Chris -- 2018-04-11
Timothy Caulfield starts a chapter of his new book, The Cure for Everything!, with this list of synonyms:
Puke, Upchuck. Vomit. Throw up. Hurl. The liquid scream. Painting the pavement. Emesis. And the more delicate, though descriptively incomplete, unsettled stomach.
His list is a partial one, of course. We could add more synonyms: barf, disgorge, heave, retch, spew. Several circumlocutions for the bodily function paint a more vivid picture: praying to the porcelain god, tossing one's cookies, calling Ralph on the big white phone.
In this forum we have looked at the transformations of some of these synonyms (puke ugly for pug ugly, upchunk for upchuck, upsettled for unsettled, heap for heave, wretch for retch). When I saw Caulfield's list, I started to wonder if his "hurl" might also claim a spot in this forum. The word that Americans co-opted in the 1990s for this less-than-noble role has a long history of eggcornical confusions. "Hurl" started out in English as Teutonic borrow for throw/toss/thrust. From these simple beginnings, the word grew like a snowball, picking up new meanings as it rolled along. Some sound-related (and now-obsolete) senses of "hurl" may be onomatopoetic in origin. Confusion with an old word for "drag," harl, added another bypassed meaning. The lost words "hurlwind" and "hurlpool" show an ancient confusion with "whirl."
"Hurl" had largely shed these eggcorned meanings by the beginning of the twentieth century. Dropping them did not save "hurl" from confusion, however. Modern speakers of English often interchange "hurl," "hurtle" (an iterative of "hurt") and "hurdle" (from a word for a wickerwork).
For the purist, "hurl" has to do with projection by force, "hurtle" with the resulting collision. We hurl a rock and it hurtles against its target. The most common modern use of "hurtle," however, makes it a synonym for moving with speed ("hurtle down the highway"), and in this usage the distinction between "hurl" and "hurtle" is less clear—we haste to hurl ourselves from one place to another. "Hurdle," abstracted from its sports context to refer to any leaping along, also comes into the mix. noted the ease with which "hurtle" and "hurdle" can be switched.
With this hurl/hurtle/hurdle fuzzy spot in our heads, we might expect the recent semantic venture of "hurl" into the realm of stomach ejecta to drag along "hurtle" and "hurdle." The case is hard to prove, though – "hurl" (=vomit) occurs on the web at a relatively low frequency, so permutations of it to "hurtle" and "hurdle" do not rise above random noise. I could only turn up one difficult-to-interpret example:
: "No matter how hard I work, it will never be enough. No matter how hard I try, my position will never go up because of politics inside the network. I'm really having a hard time there. Such harsh environment makes me sick. Just seeing the gate makes me want to hurdle."

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Great reading. The one hit you found is a surprisingly apt confusion.
If you want to make a case for a real fuzzy spot, we might look for other nearby words that might be blended in. Hurry and hard come to mind. As in the wonderfully palpitating "Hurry hard … hard hard hard haaaard!" from curling.
Did you really think it was safe to hurrel down a mountain on a bike?
Meteors and asteroids cloud the sky now and hurrel down at them and beat them both senslessly.
It is better to be beaten reasonably.

Why the fuck would anyone write a bio about them-self?! I mean Jesus Christ, what sort of weird prick would write about their life story all over the internet to share with people. OK I'm joking, I just haven't got any idea on how to start this bio, so I figured I had to start somewhere. Anyway, if I could even be bothered to write my bio, it would be too time-consuming and boring that I would probably gain polyarthralgia from all of the typing and YOU will be to blame for making me write this. Now this bio is going dangerously off topic and it's (again) your fault and not mine, time to bring this bio back on track: like you, I'm just another guy on the internet with his own hobbies and hatreds. The hobbies being: computer games, psychology, Norwegian language and cycling; and my hatreds being: bronies, furries, 10 year Americans on the internet, Prime Minister David Cameron, and my retarded brother. Also, my ModDB name is Enurp because it is "Prune" spelt backwards.

Bill Perkins Jr. is the only combat photographer in our nation's history to receive the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest award for valor. Thirty years later, his friend Craig Ingraham set out on a journey to discover what happened that day in the Hai Lang forest of Vietnam and along the way, he discovered so much more.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Tivoli Audio Music System
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Men
If you are looking for something different in the home stereo area, look no further than the Tivoli Audio Music System. This is an all-in-one solution that actually works - very well. The user interface is super-simple, and the buttons on the unit are exactly what they need to be. Nothing too advanced for anyone here. The Tivoli Audio Music System packs in an AM/FM tuner, CD player, and even an auxiliary input for your MP3 player of choice. The LED panel is perfect at 32 characters, and it even dims itself when you turn the lights off so as not to disturb your movie-watching (or sleep) experience. Our favorite feature? The SpacePhase setting, that makes audio sound even more clean and full - seriously, it rocks.

Welcome To The World of E-Voting!
Published on Mon, Jul 02,2012 | 08:24, Updated at Thu, Jul 12 at 08:23Source : CNBC-TV18 | Watch Video :
Welcome to the world of E-voting. In an attempt to enhance shareholder participation SEBI has mandated that the top 500 listed companies on BSE & NSE will here onwards facilitate electronic voting by their shareholders for all postal ballot resolutions. Some companies have already gone the e voting way. Now with many more set to join the fray, Payaswini Upadhyay finds out how it works and who it works for?
Only 2.37% of 3i Infotech's shareholders voted via postal ballot on the company's resolution to increase its share capital
Bajaj Sorporation's IPP resolution received just 1.06% votes
And only 2.38% of Mahindra Finance's shareholders cast their postal ballots on a resolution to increase borrowing limits.
These abysmal numbers prompted the Ministry of Corporate Affairs last year to authorize depositories to facilitate electronic voting. This week, SEBI did the needful by mandating it for the top 500 listed companies by market capitalization.
Lancy Varghese
Company Secretary, JSW Steel
"As far as we are concerned or my experience is concerned, during postal ballot, the response has been less than 3%. We have had several postal ballots but the response has been very poor. At least E voting might open up platform for urban shareholders who can just click a button from the convenience of their homes."
Cyrus Khambata
Executive VP, CDSL
"Shareholders are spread across the country and sometimes across the entire globe also. To make them participate in the workings of the company, what we thought was why shouldn't they be allowed to caste their vote electronically- they could do it from wherever they are situated and at any time they want."
Or at least that's the hope. Currently, CDSL and NSDL are permitted by SEBI to provide an E voting platform to companies and their investors. Shareholders with demat accounts get a one time password via email or post that allows them to vote via the depositary's website. These details can be used by the investor to vote on resolutions put forth by all the companies he's invested in. Once the vote is caste, it cannot be changed. Shareholders who hold shares in the physical form get a different log in id and password from each company they're invested in.
Lancy Varghese
Company Secretary, JSW Steel
"As far as companies like ours is concerned, we have a large number of physical shareholders- out of 5 lakh shareholders, we have around 3 lakh holding in physical and 2 lakh shareholders in electronic form but even in these electronic form, large number of them do not have email ids registered because at that time it was not mandatory for them to open a demat account with email ids. So as far as we are concerned, we have to send requisite forms to a substantial number of these 5 lakh shareholders. But from the shareholders point of view, he has the choice to go either through the postal ballot or e voting process.
Cyrus Khambata
Executive VP, CDSL
"For FIIs or institutional investors who vote through their custodians, this is a big advantage. Most FIIs who have substantial shareholding in a company would want to vote for resolutions. But what they have to do today is give written instruction to the custodian, the ballot paper is signed by them. Custodian has to rush it to the company. Here what happens is the custodian, under his log in, can vote for all the resolutions for all the FIIs who are his client because the demat account is held by the custodian. So that is another advantage for the custodian that under one log in, he can vote for all the clients who have given him written instructions."
Though made mandatory by SEBI only this week, several corporates have already tested the E voting waters- the Jaypee group has facilitated electronic voting for its shareholders starting 2010. Since then, it has used the platform to put to vote approximately 20 resolutions involving investment in other companies, business diversification, enhanced borrowing limits, appointment of directors and raising funds
M.M. Sibal
Company Secretary, Jaiprakash Power Ventures
"As far as numbers are concerned, I think, as against AGM where we around 1000-1500 persons personally present, in postal ballot, we get around 8000 votes. Out of this around, 500-600 are caste by electronic voting platform. It was about 6.5% in 2010, increased to about 7.5% in 2011 and the third process is already underway. Going forward, we expect it to increase it to 15-20% provided SEBI and MCA make investors aware of the desirability of e voting platform."
E-voting scores over the conventional postal ballot on several counts. It's faster and more transparent. Add to this the biggest plus of invalid votes getting eliminated in the process. The hope is that shareholder resolutions will see more investor participation and for companies, cost incurred on postal ballot will get reduced- a win-win situation for all!

Was JaCoby Jones at LSU's orientation this week?
Randy Rosetta:
Besides LeBlanc, several incoming freshmen have gone through the initial steps of orientation on LSU's campus this week. Mainieri said a handful of the incoming players were in Baton Rouge this week, including infielder Jacoby Jones and pitcher Ryan Eades, who were both drafted in the 19th round last week.
"Mainieri" is LSU head coach Paul Mainieri.
It's worth pointing out that, if the reports are true that the Astros offered Jones $1.5m-ish, that's the signing bonus for a 2010 mid-1st Round pick. That he has seemingly turned down.
3 comments:
I wouldn't worry about it. All him going to the orientation necessarily means is that he still hasn't decided what he's going to do.
For all we know he could even be leaning toward the Astros, but is trying to squeeze every drop he can out of negotiations... skipping orientation would be a clear message on his part that he intends to sign, and would weaken his position at the bargaining table.
That's pure speculation on my part, I still think it's unlikely that he will sign with the Astros. I'm just saying don't read too much into this.

Agreed. The fact that he attended isn't a surprise. Had he not attended, that would have been a surprise.

Slideshow: Dynaformer Retrospective
Dynaformer sired 25 Grade I winners, 10 Grade II winners, 31 Grade III winners and numerous other stakes winners following his racing career.
Dynaformer sired 25 Grade I winners, 10 Grade II winners, 31 Grade III winners and numerous other stakes winners following his racing career.
The demand for quality bloodstock was in full force at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale, but the middle and lower markets were soft.
Demand was strong for quality young mares and broodmare prospects as the Keeneland November breeding stock sale opened its 11-day run in Lexington.
Grade I winner Harmonious brought $2.8 million at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale Nov. 6. Acquired by Mandore International Agency, the daughter of Dynaformer was consigned by Lane's End, agent.
Harmonious, a leading 3-year-old turf filly in 2010 for Martin, Pam, and Emily Wygod, has been retired from racing to become a broodmare.
Friday actually has more intriguing longshot possibilities than Saturday, so here we go.
Marty and Pam Wygod's homebred Harmonious, 10th in last year's Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT) is back with trainer John Shirreffs for another run at the brass ring.
Favored Dubawi Heights gave jockey Joel Rosario his third grade I victory of the day at Santa Anita when she posted an impressive win in the $250,000 Yellow Ribbon Presented by Emirates Airline Stakes (gr. IT).
On a stakes-filled card at Santa Anita Park Oct. 1, the $250,000 Yellow Ribbon Stakes Presented by Emirate Airline stands out as the most contentious race of the bunch.
Cozi Rosie used a splendid rail-skimming ride from Garrett Gomez to capture the $250,000 John C. Mabee Stakes (gr. IIT) by a half-length on the Del Mar turf Aug. 14.
Always tough Wasted Tears returns to Southern California to defend her title in the $250,000 John C. Mabee Stakes (gr. IIT) against a competitive field on the Del Mar turf Aug. 14.
A two-time group I winner and Horse of the Year in her native Brazil, Celtic Princess finally notched her first stakes win in the United States in her sixth try, handily taking the Royal Heroine Mile (gr. IIT) July 4.
Harmonious returns to her preferred turf course July 4 when she makes her first start in nearly five months in the $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile (gr. IIT) at Hollywood Park.
Always a Princess reprised her front-running victory over champion Blind Luck last month when she kicked away at the head of the stretch and scored a convincing 3 1/4-length win in the $147,000 La Canada Stakes Feb. 13.
Upset as the odds-on choice by Always a Princess in last month's El Encino Stakes (gr. II), champion filly Blind Luck looks to snap a three-race losing streak in the La Canada Stakes (gr. II) Feb. 13 at Santa Anita.
Spring Style's wait for her first stakes victory ended in her 6-year-old debut Jan. 1 when she held off Harmonious by a nose to win the $147,000 Robert J. Frankel Stakes (gr. IIT) on the turf at Santa Anita.
When Santa Anita officials were scouting about for a stakes event to name after the late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, they could hardly have found a better fit than the San Gorgonio Handicap.
Midday, the shortest-priced morning-line favorite for the six Breeders' Cup races at Churchill Downs Friday, Nov. 5, stretched her legs at the Louisville track Nov. 3 preparing for the Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT).
With trainer John Shirreffs observing, Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (gr. IT) winner Harmonious, worked five furlongs in 1:05 4/5 over the main track at Keeneland on Oct. 29.
California shipper Harmonious easily ran away from Evening Jewel in the stretch to win the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (gr. IT) Oct. 16 at Keeneland.

Evening Jewel and Check the Label, who have won seven consecutive graded stakes between them, will meet in a showdown of star 3-year-old fillies Oct. 16 in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (gr. IT) at Keeneland.
Favored Evening Jewel added a grade I turf win to her stellar 2010 campaign when she delivered a determined half-length victory in the $300,000 Del Mar Oaks (gr. IT) Aug. 21.
Evening Jewel, perfect in two starts on the turf, attempts to register her second grade I victory of the season when she faces a solid field in the $300,000 Del Mar Oaks on the grass Aug. 21 at the seaside track.
Berg Bahn, the first of two European shippers for the $300,000 Del Mar Oaks (gr. IT) Aug. 21, has arrived at the seaside track after clearing quarantine at Hollywood Park.
In her stakes debut, Pam and Marty Wygod's homebred Harmonious swept to victory in the $250,000 American Oaks (gr. IT), outlasting Antares World on the Hollywood Park turf July 3.
Unlike past renewals, this year's American Oaks (gr. IT), with a reduction in purse to $250,000 reflecting tough times in California, is a local affair with Jerry and Ann Moss' Cozie Rosie among the favorites.

LEXINGTON, Ky (WKYT) - With Nerlens Noel's school-record 12-block performance Tuesday against Ole Miss, he moves into 2nd all-time on the single-season block list, behind only Anthony Davis. However, unlike last season, Noel seems to be blocking shots a bit more under the radar.
"Because we aren't winning like last year, If we were winning like last year, Nerlens would get all the praise," said John Calipari.
Even more impressive, Noel has turned up his blocking average during SEC play, and through the first 20 games of the season, he's swatted 95 shots. By comparison, Davis deflected 93 shots through the first 20 games.
But these are two very talented players with different skill sets, so let's take a look at all their stats through 20 games.
Noel earns the blocking lead by a narrow margin, while Davis scored 69 more points to this point. No big man in the country has more steals than Noel, who currently has 47. Davis finished his one season at UK with only 54 steals. Davis was a rebounding machine with 206, compared to Noel's 185. But when it comes to passing, the edge goes to Noel.
One thing that stats don't measure is leadership. It's something Calipari says Noel must improve upon.
"I just told him like I told John Wall and a couple of the others: take people with you. I don't care that you're doing all this and stuff''s good. Take some other guys with you. Grab them. If they don't want to go, push them aside, but take guys with you. It's not just you. Take them with you. Let's all play well," Calipari said.
If Noel wants to pass Davis' single-season record of 186, he will need help from his teammates. After all, Davis benefited from three SEC Tournament games and six NCAA Tournament games to pad his stats.

For more than 30 minutes Friday night, East Detroit and Michigan Collegiate traded punches in the paint in a season-opening thriller for both schools.
A plethora of points on both sides of the floor were scored from inside the lane in this physical showdown. However, when it was needed the most, it was a late long-distance 3-pointer that proved to be the difference-maker in the Shamrocks� 52-48 seesaw victory.
For complete coverage of Friday�s action visit The Macomb Daily PrepZone.
Reserve forward DeAngelo Kirkland took a cross-court pass from guard Tra�mein Springfield and coolly stroked an uncontested shot from behind the arc that gave East Detroit a 50-46 lead with less than a minute and a half remaining on the game clock.
�I just think we moved the ball good and their defense shifted,� said Kirkland, who finished with 10 points. �Tra�mein made a good cross-court pass, so I just took a rhythm three in a big moment.�
But Michigan Collegiate wasn�t quite done. The Cougars cut the deficit in half, 50-48, on Robert Curtis�s basket with 1:05 left. However, they squandered two golden chances on back-to-back trips down the floor. A pair of offensive rebounds gave the Cougars second-chance opportunities, but they couldn�t get shots to fall in the last minute.
�We had some guys who were getting fatigued, and I knew it,� said Cougars first-year coach David Hill. �I was basing my timeouts to get them rest, but a lot of guys played a lot of minutes and it came down to that.�
Senior guard Will Davis (17 points) and Curtis (16 points), a senior center, led the Cougars.
Shamrocks senior forward Tyrell Yharbrough, who led all scorers with 21 points, put a cap on the final score when he hit a pair of free throws with nine seconds left.
�It was a great game,� Kirkland said. �They had some runs, we had some runs. Just in the flow of the offense I found myself open in the right spot at the right time. I felt pretty comfortable taking the shot, but Coach just thought that this game was meant for me to take it to the hole; we were much bigger and could get to the free throw line.�
The first half ended in a 27-27 tie, and the score was tied on three other occasions in the second half. But the Shamrocks went on a 10-1 run, building a 41-32 lead, the largest by either team in the second half.
The Cougars countered with their own 13-1 run to take a 45-42 lead when Davis converted a steal and scored an easy layup.
But the game boiled down to Kirkland�s shot.
�That was a key play in the game and it was definitely a momentum builder for them,�Hill said. �Basically, I have to work with our guys in getting more disciplined in understanding who the scorers are and knowing who they really have to defend more than others.�
East Detroit coach Dave Zauner was confident that the outcome belonged to the Shamrocks once Kirkland delivered.
�At the end of the game I smacked DeAngelo on the back and said, �You know, that was a huge three,� � Zauner said. �It was, because it gave us a little cushion, it gave us confidence, it gave us a breather.�

Rocky Mountain National Park officials got a report from snowshoers Tuesday afternoon that they had found a body in the area north and west of Bear Lake, approximately 100 feet off a summer hiking trail.
Larimer County Coroner's office will not release positive identification until completion of an autopsy, but it is believed that the body is that of Troy Green, 39, from San Antonio, Texas, park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said in a press release.
She said the body was found near the Flattop Mountain trail, inside the search area but approximately one mile north of the Tyndall Gorge and Nymph Lake region where search managers believed that Green might have hiked.
The area had been searched several times by ground personnel, a dog team, and helicopter over-flights. The man's body was against a tree and he was wearing dark-colored clothing, Patterson said.
A recovery team reached the Bear Lake Trailhead at 6:30 p.m. with the body. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Flattop Trail from the north side of Bear Lake is temporarily closed.
Green had not been heard from since last Thursday and did not arrive at a conference in Denver as planned on Friday.
On Friday afternoon, Denver police issued an advisory for his rental car that matched a vehicle found early Friday morning by park rangers at the Bear Lake parking lot, prompting the multi-day search in the national park.
Over the weekend teams searched throughout the Bear Lake system of trails; focusing on off-trail areas particularly in the Mill Creek drainage, the Flattop Mountain area, and between Bear Lake and Dream Lake, where they faced winter conditions with deep and drifting snow and high winds. Hundreds of visitors were in the Bear Lake area over the weekend also serving as eyes and ears.

Only rarely do we hear the stories of individual men and women fighting there, and hardly ever do we hear what it's like for those Americans when they return home. Has it always been thus? How have veterans been treated in the aftermath of America's previous wars? How much depends on the politics of the war – are vets only as popular as the wars they've fought in? These are some of the central questions on the table as we explore veterans' experiences through three centuries of American life.

Summary Report of the 2008 Commercial Fishery for Razor Clams (Siliqua patula)
Fishing / Shellfishing - Harvest and Catch Reports
Date Published: October 2008
Author(s): Lorna L. Wargo
Fishery Objectives and Preseason Planning
A public meeting was held in March for commercial diggers and razor clams buyers at Raymond High School. The major discussion topic was when to schedule the 2008 fishery. The majority of diggers and dealers support a mid-May start. A contingent prefers an early start as possible, while another group would rather begin later in May or June to benefit from better summer weather.
Three factors largely determine the start date: the end of the recreational razor clam season, biotoxin levels, and tides. By practice, the commercial fishery opens only after the end of the recreational fishery. Separating the two makes it more difficult for sport diggers to illegally dig, possess or sell commercial quantities of clams, and simplifies recovering clams in the event of a Department of Health product recall. Due to the absence of any significant biotoxin events, the commercial fishery has enjoyed a couple of years with predictable and stable schedules.

Synthetic Telepathy:
Pop Odyssey Radio Interview 4/17/2012
0. Prediction of Russia's Putin confirmed as per the "eye" and opportunity following Romney's inauguration.
1. A remote viewed future of communications (cybernetics and synthetic telepathy).
2. The idea of Ophiuchus and the meaning of "Contact" during President Romney's watch.
3. Joseph Smith as a natural born psychic and limited prophet.
Like most natural born prophets within human history, most were highly revered by followers often using the prediction as validation. Prophets such as Mohammed, Christ, and Joseph Smith come to mind. I surmise that the ability to see a highly probable future can be taught to most with a healthy functioning brain rendering these and other religious figures more than just obsolete within the realm of outdated constructs.

I got to witness a bit of a brawl last week — even if it was just on Facebook.
I got to witness a bit of a brawl last week — even if it was just on Facebook.
JIM LEACH, news and program director of WMAY-AM 970, who expresses his liberal views during his morning talk show, criticized an interview that conservative FRITZ PFISTER did with the GOP candidate for governor, BRUCE RAUNER.
Pfister, who gave up his hourlong weekday show on WMAY early this year because of other commitments, still pays for airtime for his "Let's Talk Real Estate" show on Saturdays. Rauner was a call-in guest last weekend. Listen to the audio.
Leach, on Facebook, said Pfister had been "quite the apologist" for Rauner's as-yet-incomplete fiscal plan.
"Praising a plan that isn't a plan at all," Leach said, "and failing to ask a single critical question about it — decidedly is bootlicking."
In the interview, Pfister talked about Rauner's recently issued "Bring Back Blueprint," which claims to spell out $1 billion in savings but has been widely criticized for insufficient detail. Pfister said on-air it was clearly Rauner's "initial plan."
"Rather be an apologist for someone who actually has a plan than blindly supporting the proven failure of the left-wing extremists," Pfister responded to Leach on Facebook. And, he added later, "Once again the liberal (Leach) resorts to insults when the argument is lost."
Based on the program, Pfister clearly favors views of Rauner over those of Democratic Gov. PAT QUINN.
When Rauner said, "We've got to grow our way out of our problem, not tax our way out of our problems," Pfister said, "Absolutely."
"The only thing that the Quinn administration has, and the Democratic Party has, in my opinion, to run against you is class warfare," Pfister told Rauner.
And when Rauner said he opposed a graduated income tax, Pfister said, "I totally agree with that."
In a September interview with Pfister, Rauner said a raise in the minimum wage would be a "terrible idea." Rauner later said he'd support an increase in the wage in concert with pro-business legislation.
Last weekend, Pfister did not push this issue — and told me he only had a short window in which to talk to the candidate. During the interview, Pfister did ask Rauner, "If Gov. Quinn can claim that giving a dollar raise in minimum wage to 2.8 percent of the workers in Illinois would boost the economy, what would allowing the (income) tax (increase) to expire do for 100 percent of the workers?"
"Exactly right," Rauner responded, saying the state should roll back the individual income tax rate to 3 percent.
Quinn has advocated keeping the rate at 5 percent for individuals, but, under current law, it will drop to 3.75 percent in January. It had been 3 percent before Jan. 1, 2011.
Rauner did say he'll roll out more of his fiscal plans in coming weeks, and he said the state needs to "reduce the regulatory burden on businesses," which he said need "to have confidence in our state government that their taxes aren't going to go up any further and that the debt and deficit are fixed."
"We will get that done in the first year that we are in office," he said.
Pfister asked Rauner if anybody on his staff was doing a study to show how much more money would be generated through lower taxes and "the resulting job creation."
"We are running those models right now," Rauner said.
IZABELA MILTKO, a spokeswoman for the Quinn campaign, said the governor has "cut state spending by more than $5.7 billion" during his tenure. She said reducing the individual income tax rate to 3 percent would "decimate education funding by an estimated $2 billion this year — hitting K-12 especially hard."
I did think it odd Rauner was on Pfister's show, given controversial comments Pfister has made. I've publicized some in my column.
One example was when Pfister posted condolences on Facebook to families of the Newtown massacre victims — including 20 children — but added the day of the shootings: "For the liberals, and left wing anti-gun politicians calling for gun control at this time you are the scum of the earth politicizing your socialist anti-American views while families and America grieves. You are scumbags."
There was the tea party event at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in 2010, where Pfister used the style of MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to say he dreams of "a leader who embraces capitalism, not in a leader who believes in the redistribution of wealth — stealing from one man to give to another, usually to buy votes."
Just Tuesday, three days after the Rauner appearance on Pfister's real estate show, Pfister had a Facebook conversation about a White House ceremony for young people who came to this country illegally but got temporary legal status under a program of President BARACK OBAMA's administration. Responding to a commenter who said it could be time for "a citizens arrest of the lawless" president, Pfister responded: "Impeachment would have been completed had Obama not been the first black president. The lesson here is, if you're a black president you can break the law, rewrite the law, enforce the ones you like, ignore the ones you don't. Let's pray for a wave election and the defeat of these radical Democrats, and Establishment Republican enablers."
MIKE SCHRIMPF, spokesman for Rauner, said Friday that "Bruce was not aware of these past statements and certainly doesn't agree with them. If we were aware of them, Bruce would not have done the show."
"In contrast," Schrimpf added, "Gov. Quinn stood by and said nothing as one of his endorsers compared Republicans to the KKK."
That refers to statements made by the Rev. WALTER "SLIM" COLEMAN, described in a story on WBEZ-FM in Chicago as a "long-time, left-wing activist," who was among clergy members endorsing Quinn at a Chicago hotel on June 12. Coleman talked of the "evil that we have to stop" and said history linked "an unlikely voter that began way back in 1961 and '62 with the Ku Klux Klan, that grew up through the militias … and … came in to call themselves conservatives, and then came in to call themselves Republican."
Coleman later told the station he doesn't believe Rauner is evil.
Quinn left the event without taking questions.
Quinn spokeswoman BROOKE ANDERSON told the radio station, "We couldn't disagree more strongly, and the governor believes this rhetoric has no place in politics." She also said Coleman was invited to speak by another minister, not the campaign.
I'd like to add my heartfelt condolences to the family of Illinois Senate GOP Leader CHRISTINE RADOGNO for the unexpected death last week of her 31-year-old daughter, LISA RADOGNO.
A staff member in the Washington office of U.S. Sen. MARK KIRK, Lisa was felled by a pulmonary embolism that could have been linked to a recent accident.
LANCE TROVER, former communications director for Kirk and now senior communications advisor to Rauner, worked with her.
"Lisa was a free spirit who exemplified love, compassion and friendship," Trover said. He also called her "a consummate professional" who "brought so much life and laughter to Sen. Kirks's office. She will be missed."
