Boris Johnson formally launched his re-election campaign for London Mayor on Tuesday morning, taking over a church in the leafy London borough of Richmond to rally the party faithful.
HuffPost recharged its Oyster card and headed out to the suburb, a journey interrupted by a District line train being "reassigned" to Kensington Olympia. Then its replacement train was mysteriously held at a red signal outside Barons Court for ages, so we arrived a bit late.
The unashamedly middle class location for the launch event attracted a largely white and middle class audience. And the religous setting formed the backdrop to some intensive preaching to the choir.
Tory London Assembly member Tony Arbour, introducing Boris, acknowledged that we were in "outer London, in Boris-land," and that the area had the lowest levels of crime in the capital. As such, activists were told to "have no fear going out leafleting for Boris," to much laughter and applause.
Further introductions were provided by local Tory MP Zac Goldsmith, who claimed Boris was "a unifying mayor" who had "transcended party politics," before a standing ovation broke out among assembled Tories as Boris took to the stage.
Immediately the party politics which Boris has allegedly transcended were wheeled out.
Boris - ahead in the polls by between four and six points, according to the latest projections - attacked his main rival Ken Livingstone as a "champagne-swilling Trotskyist bendy-bus aficionado," lambasting the former Labour mayor's record for alleged waste and trips to Cuba.
By contrast, claimed Boris, Londoners should be delighted with the past four years, where his promises had been kept, crime had fallen and the Mayor had caused "plaster to fall off the ceiling of the Treasury," thanks to his bruising encounters with George Osborne and Whitehall mandarins who'd wanted to cut Crossrail.
Boris used the speech to announce two new initiatives; young people would continue to get free travel around the city, but they would have a new clause written into their conditions of carriage compelling them to give up their seats for pregnant women and the elderly.
"Everybody is paying for the privilege of young people travelling free... But it's vital that they show some courtesy," he said to applause, although it seems like gesture politics, with no obvious enforcement if those lucky young people fail to be chivalrous.
The second initiative would see special constables in London getting 50% relief on their council tax. This, at least, was an actual policy, sandwiched in between great swathes of self-congratulation and momentous accomplishments.
Bendy buses no longer sitting "like beached whales, jack-knifed in yellow box junctions," 1,000 extra police officers on the streets (hotly disputed by Labour), eyesore tower blocks vetoed by the Mayor's office.
Yes, the "greatest city in the world" had become some kind of utopia since 2008, and a vote for Ken Livingstone would send the city into reverse. Fares would eventually go up under Ken apparently (despite going down to begin with). Under Boris? "We would be very determined to hold them down."
In the continuing pursuit of a perfect city state, trains in Borisland would one day drive themselves, despite protests from "hard-line union barons who mistakenly choose to resist this idea", nasty profiteering train companies would have to start working with the Mayor, to get Oyster cards in the suburban railways, and there would be no third runway at Heathrow - Boris suggested he would resign if he was overruled by the coalition on this.
"You will get a mayor who'll bring Londoners together, not one who plays one group off against another, because of some cynical calculation," Boris concluded.
But was it a "cynical calculation" to launch his campaign in one of the most Tory districts of London, where the wheels of descending 747s practically scrape the rooftops? Draw your own conclusions.
And it might also be considered somewhat cynical of Boris to take questions from practically everyone in the church who were somehow ethnically diverse - HuffPost counted around a dozen of these non-white faces in a gathering of about 250 people.
But this was a commanding, assured and - we must admit - entertaining hour in the company of Boris Johnson. The rather unanswered question, though, is whether the less green and affluent parts of this city will support him on May the 3rd as much as the good folk of Richmond clearly will.

Coming off semester break both the men's and women's basketball teams defeated
The Pfeiffer women came out and played an impressive game defeating Coker 62-51. The Falcons used a great pressure defense to build a 16 point halftime lead. Pfeiffer forced 14 Cobra turnovers while having only six. The offense was clicking and the motion offense led to 13 assists on 16
baskets. Pfeiffer led 38-22 at the break.
Coker came out fighting hard in the second half but could not catch up to the Falcons. All 14 Falcons played, with eight different players scoring led by Tamara Clay's 17. Kelly Mathis added 11 and Najja Moon scored 10. Clay led the Falcons with 10 rebounds and Cathi Kennings dished out 6 assists. Coker was led by Ashley White who had 12 points and 8 rebounds.

China's auto sales rebounded in October but Japanese brands suffered a sharp downturn amid a territorial dispute between Beijing and Tokyo, an industry group said.
Sales in the world's biggest auto market rose 6.4 per cent to 1.3 million vehicles, according to the government-sanctioned China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
Japanese brands extended September's sales slide, declining 38 per cent overall from a year earlier, the CAAM said.
Sales of Japanese vehicles plunged in September as the dispute between Beijing and Tokyo over a group of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea prompted buyers to avoid Japanese showrooms.
Customers who planned to buy Japanese models are putting off purchases but have yet to switch to other brands, said Jia Xinguang, an independent auto industry analyst in Beijing.
"They are watching and waiting," he said.
The slump for Japanese brands is hurting China as well, because many Japanese vehicles sold in this country are produced in local factories with components bought from Chinese suppliers. Japanese automakers temporarily closed some of their China factories and have reduced production.
General Motors said sales of GM-brand vehicles rose 14.3 per cent from a year earlier to 251,812, surpassing 250,000 for the first time. Ford said sales of Ford-brand vehicles rose 48 per cent to 60,518 and sales so far this year were up 14 per cent from the same period in 2011.
General Motors and its joint ventures sold an October-record 251,812 vehicles in China.

Common Injuries
Mountain first aid is a skill that needs to be learnt and practised. Nothing could be worse than seeing a close friend in pain, when all you can do is stand there looking dumb without a clue of what to do. Buy a book on mountain first aid procedures and learn the basics before you go away. Even better, enrol on a professional first aid course.
The following is a very basic guide for immediate first aid, to help relieve pain and to stop further injury until help is at hand. General rules when helping a casualty: clear the airways and check the patient frequently. Arrest bleeding, apply dressings and immobilise broken limbs. Finally treat for shock, relieve pain and then evacuate the casualty A.S.A.P. If in doubt, do as little as possible to avoid worsening the situation
Never go backcountry riding without a well equipped first-aid kit.
|first-aid kit must include
|· Waterproof plasters,
|· Bandages and safety pins
|· A sling
|· Antiseptic cream
|· Gauze pads
|· First Aid tape
|· Asprin or other pain relief
|· Splint
Weather Injuries
Hypothermia (exposure) is caused by body heat loss to below 37C. To prevent, eat properly and wear technical, waterproof, warm clothing. To treat, get the casualty under shelter and out of wet clothing, while doing all you can to increase body heat.
Frostbite/Frostnip is full or partial freezing of the skin and its tissues, causing numbness and no reaction to pain. To prevent, avoid exposure of bare skin, and wear correct clothing. To treat, warm the affected areas but never apply direct heat.
Snowblindness is temporary, partial, or total blindness, caused by direct and indirect ultra- violet light, even on dull days when the sun can't be seen. To prevent, wear suitable eyewear that has a 100% UVA & UVB rating. To treat, cover eyes and apply wet cloth to the forehead. Keep out of bright areas.
Dehydration occurs because of depleted fluids. Dizziness and nausea are early warning signs of dehydration. To prevent, drink regular amounts of fluid, such as water or healthy sport drinks. To treat, take a rest and drink as much fluid needed to re-hydrate your system.

Procedures for
University Disciplinary Committee Appeals
1. Students desiring to appeal a decision of the University Disciplinary Committee for review by the Board of Regents shall do so by filing a written statement of notice of intent to appeal. No appeal will be considered unless such notice is received in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs within five days, excluding holidays or weekends, following notification of the Committee's decision.
2. In certain cases, the student suspended or expelled by the University Disciplinary Committee may be allowed to continue in status pending the results of the appeal. (this is at the discretion of the Director of Student Conduct in effort to ensure the best interest of the University)
3. The student shall include for the consideration of appeal a written statement of the reasons why the student thinks the decision should be modified. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs will have 5 days to review the appeal, review the procedures and determine if it meets the standard for appeal.
An appeal of an outcome may be filed only on justifiable grounds including:
a. To determine whether the original conference was conducted fairly and in accordance with the Office of Student Conduct outcome determination and procedures.
b. To determine whether the decision reached regarding the respondent student was based on substantial information to determine the preponderance of evidence and/or the level of responsibility. This is not information you chose not to share or obtain prior to the conference.
c. To determine whether any sanctions imposed (suspension, expulsion or denial of housing/network access) were appropriate and not unduly harsh for the violation(s) set forth in the Student Code of Conduct.
d. If you are the complaining student in a sexual harassment and/or sexual misconduct case. For sexual misconduct and/or sexual harassment cases both the complainant and the charged student can file an appeal regardless of the outcome. Both students have the same grounds to appeal and the same time frame in which to submit an appeal.
4. If the Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee determines that new
evidence should be considered, he/she will return the complaint to the University
Disciplinary Committee to reconsider in light of the new evidence, only. The reconsideration
of the conference body may also be appealed. The student may within the ten-day period
instead submit any pertinent information, newly discovered or initially withheld for
good cause, to the University Disciplinary Committee.
5. The Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee also determines that a material procedural [or substantive] error occurred, it may return the complaint to the University Disciplinary Committee with instructions to reconvene to cure the error. In rare cases, where the procedural [or substantive] error cannot be cured by the original conference officers (as in cases of bias), the Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee may order a new conference on the complaint with a new body of conference members. The results of a reconvened conference may also be appealed.
6. The results of a new conference can be appealed, once, on the four applicable grounds for appeals. The Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee determines that the outcomes imposed are disproportionate to the severity of the violation, the Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee will forward the complaint to the Student Conduct office, which may then increase, decrease or otherwise modify the sanctions.
7. If the Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee upholds the outcome of suspension, expulsion or separation, an appeal may be made to the President of the University.
8. Only information contained within the record of the proceedings of the University Disciplinary Committee will be reviewed on appeal by the President and or Board. No information will be considered that was not furnished to the University Disciplinary Committee.
9. When an appeal is filed, the entire record of the University Disciplinary Committee's proceedings and its decision, the student's appeal statement, and the Vice-President for Student Affairs or his/her designee response shall be forwarded to the Office of the President.
10. In the event the President considers the outcome to be inconsistent with the ethical principles and standard of conduct of the University community, the President may request that the case be reopened and reheard by the University Disciplinary Committee.
11. The President, at his discretion, may review the record and uphold the outcome. If the President upholds the outcome of suspension or expulsion, an appeal may be made to the Board of Regents for consideration. The President is authorized to modify the decision of the University Disciplinary Committee in any manner found appropriate that serves the welfare of the student and the best interest of the University.
12. If the President review is appealed, the President shall transmit a copy of the record to each member of the Board of Regents for consideration as herein provided.
13. A subcommittee of the Board of Regents will serve as the official body to consider the appeal and render a decision on behalf of the Board of Regents.
14. The Committee may meet at times and places deemed by it to be necessary to provide a timely and expeditious consideration of appeals.
15. The Committee is authorized on behalf of the full Board to review the University Disciplinary Committee's record, the student's written appeal, and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs response. The committee shall determine:
A. Whether the decision was made in accordance with the provisions of and the procedural safeguards specified in the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities; or
B. Whether, in its view of the entire information before it, the decision is erroneous; or
C. Whether, in its view of the entire case, the welfare of the student or the best interest of the University will be served by applying no outcome or a lesser sanction or providing that the outcome shall commence on a date different from that specified by the University Disciplinary Committee.
The review will be based upon the written record.
Upon concluding its review, the Committee may sustain, reverse, modify the outcome. The decision of the Disciplinary Appeals Committee shall be filed with the Secretary of the Board, and the Secretary of the Board will furnish a copy of the decision to each member of the Board of Regents. The full Board may, at its sole discretion and upon its own initiative, decide to consider the appeal en banc at its next meeting. Applications from the student for full Board en banc review are not entertained. Appropriate written notice to that effect shall be furnished the student at the time the student receives a copy of the Committee's determination, which shall constitute the final decision.

Derrick Rose?
The Bulls don't need no stinkin' Derrick Rose.
Playing without their superstar point guard, as usual, this remarkable group of battered basketball players advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs Saturday night.
Bucking the odds of playing a Game 7 on the road, the Bulls beat the Nets 99-93 in Brooklyn to clinch this first-round playoff.
Joakim Noah predicted his team would win the game in sort of a guarantee. Coach Tom Thibodeau routinely insists his team has more than enough to win.
Both were correct on this night.
"I just wanted our team to be confident and believe we could get it done," Noah said.
Yes, even on a day that started with ailing Luol Deng unable to play.
So, the Bulls had no chance, right?
The night started with injured Kirk Hinrich ruled out of the game.
So, the Bulls had no chance, right?
This season started with Rose not going to play at all.
So, the Bulls had no chance, right?
Yet here the Bulls are, preparing for Game 1 of an NBA East semifinal series against the heavily favored Miami Heat.
How in the world did these Bulls get this far?
Well, as has been chronicled all season, the Bulls out-hustle, out-will and out-resolve opponents.
But that story has been told so often that it became easy to overlook that the Bulls have another characteristic: They can play.
The Bulls didn't merely use grit, guts and gall to beat the Nets. They also used shooting, rebounding and defense.
"We had a lot of guys step up," Thibodeau said.
The Bulls almost always can rebound and defend but there also are some guys on this team who can play offense. Carlos Boozer, Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson can score. Then in this Game 7, Noah surprised with 24 points on a variety of shots to go with 14 rebounds and 6 blocks.
Jimmy Butler did what he can do, which was play all 48 points and contribute a little of everything. Reserves who hardly ever play came in to make a play here and eat minutes there.
"That's been the story of the season," Thibodeau said. "We couldn't replace (Rose) individually; we had to do it collectively."
OK, now, next up is the Heat, the vaunted Heat, the defending NBA champion Heat.
This shouldn't be much of a series except that Miami probably would prefer to swim through a sea of sharks on the way to defecting to Cuba than to deal with the Bulls.
The Bulls will show up for Game 1 on Monday night at Miami. They might show up in ambulances and on crutches and in slings and hooked up to intravenous feedings, but they will show up.
The danger is that sooner or later the Bulls will start feeling the effects of all the minutes they played during the season and all the injuries they endured and all the adversity they overcame playing without Rose.
"We're going to have to be at our best from the start," Thibodeau said. "We know how good Miami is."
Again, the Bulls will play without their superstar point guard and the Heat series should be when they need them some stinkin' Derrick Rose.
Regardless, the Bulls already proved not only their mettle but that they have some guys who can play this game.

Special Olympics of Lincoln County needs volunteers.
Special Olympics helps thousands of children and adults with intellectual disabilities realize their dreams through sports training and competition. Additional benefits include improved physical fitness and sports skills to enhanced self-confidence and social competency.
However, Special Olympics simply would not exist without the year-round dedication and volunteer commitment of interested citizens. Our local organization currently serves approximately 50 athletes taking part in bocce, golf, swimming, bowling and track and field events. Six to eight of these athletes usually go on to participate in the state Summer Games in Nashville. Another three to four of these athletes participate in the state bowling tournament in Chattanooga.
With additional volunteers, participants could be taken to area and state basketball, volleyball and soccer tournaments, as well.
Families are a constant source of encouragement and support. They understand the importance of the dignity and integrity that is developed through sports and the commitment of giving one's best effort. Special Olympics in Lincoln County needs volunteers to become a part of this family supporting athletes. From large groups to individuals, Special Olympics in Lincoln County has a volunteer opportunity for everyone.
Volunteers can be an important part of this cause in several ways.
More people are needed to provide transportation to and from events in nearby counties, to help with fundraising and publicity and to assist at events, helping athletes before and after competition, timing runners, setting up sports venues and completing other hands-on projects.
Volunteers are also needed to assist in training programs and to pair with athletes during some events. Working with Special Olympics athletes is fun and extremely rewarding.
Those unable to help directly can be an important part of the Special Olympics cause by making a donation to help keep this vital effort going. One hundred percent of funds received are used to send our Lincoln County athletes to local and state games, so if a volunteer asks about taking out an ad and supporting Special Olympics, please consider doing so as a family, individual, organization or business.
Special Olympics of Lincoln County would appreciate help at any level. For further information or to volunteer, please call county coordinator Jo Goldasich at 625-6382 or Deanna Stone at 425-0240.

[Col. 181]
Translated by Daniel Wolfe
Donated by Simon Kreindler
In the middle of the summer of
1944, the linen and flaxen Lithuania opened its Jewish eyes and saw that it was
day. From the depths of the black-green Partisan woods, the great day, the
great slaughtering-knife day of severity, dawned and immediately glittered over
The Jerusalem of Lithuania.
On that hot day in July, the gutters of Vilna were filled with Nazi blood. On a sweaty, dusty evening, the Red Army plastered the Jewish area of Vilna with Nazi skulls and cooled off the hot pavement with a stream of bestial Germanic blood. This time kosher Vilna happily bent under the non-kosher mass of eight thousand slaughtered swine and by the shine of the smoky sunset watched the supermen die unnatural deaths at the hands of the Soviets.
And that's how it happened everywhere. The flocks of frightened Jewish villagers observed this same picture with the last glimmer of their exhausted eyes. The Nuremberg wolves remained rotting in the Jewish sheep villages and the Red Army flesh machine turned and continued to cut Nazi flesh into small pieces.
In this way, our second Jerusalem earned back its Jewish honor, its old and its new Judaism. Of all those who were transported in cattle cars only a few returned on the liberating tanks and, with Nazi blood, wrote the great fiery-history, the simple and gruesome words, of how they cut us, autopsied us and murdered us.
It wasn't, however, meant to be that the holiday of revenge should shine for us as an eternal light. In liberated Lithuania only the ash of our burnt homes was freed, only the hollowed out bones of our mutilated mothers and infants, only the slaughtered remnant of our thousand year old rootedness in the Lithuanian sand and forests.
There remained of Vilna--the destruction of Vilna. But there is a power that will not let it be destroyed. Just as there was pre-Holocaust [Vilna], there will be a post-holocaust Vilna. Therefore there is no despair in our pain [for there will come a time when our liberated capitol suddenly emerges in our hearts, the city full of G-d, the city and mother of Israel, the capitol city home of our spirit, the metropolis of our Judaism, the center of our national individuality, the capitol of our culture, the spiritual city of the Jewish people, our Jerusalem of Lithuania.
From the time that Jewish life
in Eastern Europe took on an organized form, Vilna was always its neurological
center, its cohesive center, and its authoritative guide. Starting with the
medieval rabbis and heads of yeshivas, continuing with the Vilna Gaon,
[then] with the Renaissance Movement in Jewish areas in the second half of the
19th century; the rise of the Bund
; the appearance of secular
Jewish culture; the founding of modern, integrated Jewish school system; the
consolidation and codification of Jewish science (not only
philological-historical in YIVO, but also precise nature science),
and ending with the art group Young Vilna, with the Vilna troupe
and with the Jewish chair in the Soviet Vilna University...through all of these
stages, like the biblical red thread, winds the vibrant spirit of our people,
its implacableness, the Bergsonian elan vital (life force) in a
rational-clear form.
From the time of the deep Middle Ages on, Vilna was crowned by the Jewish world with the honorable title of Jerusalem of Lithuania. In our two-thousand year old history, no other city or spiritual center outside of the land of Israel has been worthy of carrying the name of our erstwhile capitol, including the time of the so-called Spanish Golden Era. Vilna represented the newly found, wholly alive Jerusalem, not as much in contradiction to, as in compensation for, the lost one.
To the degree that Jewish life has become modernized and become crystallized socio-economically, the friendly quarrel between both Jerusalems has become more acute. In the wisest, old-tradition, Vilna began to lean more and more toward the most youthful and actually deeply Jewish world-view, which seeks our national rehabilitation in the space of a socially-redeemed world This is the only view that can give us a whole-hearted, territorial, inter-territorial or autonomous state title.
In Vilna, the foremost
contributor, , in the beginning. to young modern literature was, Moyshe
Kulbak. His lyrical landscapes and broad epic descriptions of young village
fishermen by the blue lakes and rivers of the picturesque Vilna neighborhood
(especially in the poem Rending), filled Yiddish literature with
the scent of pines, raw earth and black bread. During later times, the group
Young Vilna arose (with A. Vogler and Chone Grade at its head)
which actually dominated Yiddish poetry in Poland. Voglar shook up the
literary world with his anthropomorphism (humanizing nature) and with the
subtle mining of the pain of his orphan's fate. Grade surprised the literary
world with his weighted social themes and with his acute virtuosity.
Regarding the Yiddish of Vilna--it is phonetically, lexicologically, and idiomatically the most guarded from external influences, the most classical of all other Yiddish dialects, although perhaps not possessing the most sound coloration. With the obviousness that ends differences of opinion, the Yiddish dialect of Vilna was the official literary Yiddish of the whole world.
And since Yiddish literature was categorically the only unifying aspect which was not limited territorially, it was accepted as an separate and equal classification in the international society of PEN [9] -clubs It was noted thus in the London World registry:
1. Although the word in the text is syntetisher, which means synthetic, I think synthesized is what is meant. Trans. Back
2. Abraham Sutzkever (born 1913) is the greatest living Yiddish poet. He belonged to the Young Vilna literary group, fought as a partisan in the Vilna Area, and (from 1947) lives in Tel-Aviv. Back
3. This is what he was called. The word gaon means great Torah scholar in Hebrew. Trans. Back
4. The Bund was a Socialist organization. Trans. Back
5. A kind of fresh water fish. Trans. Back
6. The Yiddish word is selevkes. Trans. Back
7. The Yiddish word is flots or flatkes. Trans. Back
8. The Jewish priestly class; those who served as priests in the Holy temple. Trans. Back
9. This is a prestigious literary society, PEN standing for Poets, Essayist and Novelists. Trans. Back

No Decision on La Crosse/ Eau Claire Airport Towers
- Published in News
Federal air traffic controllers will continue their 24-hour service at Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport. But the jury's still out on whether eight other Wisconsin airports will lose their control towers due to the federal budget sequester.
The F-A-A said yesterday it would not cut off overnight service at Mitchell and 71 other facilities around the country. But the agency has not decided whether it will move ahead with a planned shutdown of 149 towers at smaller airports. The F-A-A is giving those airports and their communities until June 15th to pay for the service themselves, until the next federal budget kicks in October first. The Wisconsin towers due for closure are at Milwaukee's Timmerman Field and airports in Janesville, Waukesha, Kenosha, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Oshkosh, and Mosinee. The closing issue is separate from the F-A-A's furloughs of controllers last month. Widespread air traffic delays occurred for a week, before Congress approved a quarter-billion dollars in unspent funds to keep all the controllers on the job through September.

Today, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission adopted a notice of intent to designate the fishing boundary for crappie fishing on Lake D'Arbonne in Union and Lincoln parishes. This rule defines Lake D'Arbonne using the same geographic markers as used in the Department's netting prohibition regulation.
Lake D'Arbonne includes all areas between the Bayou D'Arbonne spillway structure and Gill's Ferry Landing on D'Arbonne Creek and Hogpen Landing on Corney Creek.
The daily bag limit was changed to 25 crappie in November 2012. The change from 50 to 25 fish was approved by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission in response to concerns of overfishing that some anglers had expressed.
To view the full notice of intent, please visit http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/document/36343-bayo… Interested persons may submit written comments relative to the proposed rule by March 31, 2013, to Mike Wood, Office of Fisheries, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, P.O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA 70898-9000 or via email at email@example.com.

Submission + - Wireshark switches to Qt (wireshark.org)
An anonymous reader writes: Beginning with Wireshark 1.11.0 the project has switched its user interface library from GTK+ to Qt. "Both libraries make it easy for developers write applications that will run on different platforms without having to rewrite a lot of code. GTK+ has had a huge impact on the way Wireshark looks and feels and on its popularity but it doesn't cover our supported platforms as effectively as it should and the situation is getting worse as time goes on."

17-year-old Banyan is a tree builder. Using scrap metal and salvaged junk, he creates forests for rich patrons who seek a reprieve from the desolate landscape. Although Banyan's never seen a real tree—they were destroyed more than a century ago—his father used to tell him stories about the Old World. But that was before his father was taken . . .
Everything changes when Banyan meets a woman with a strange tattoo—a clue to the whereabouts of the last living trees on earth, and he sets off across a wasteland from which few return. Those who make it past the pirates and poachers can't escape the locusts—the locusts that now feed on human flesh.
But Banyan isn't the only one looking for the trees, and he's running out of time. Unsure of whom to trust, he's forced to make an uneasy alliance with Alpha, an alluring, dangerous pirate with an agenda of her own. As they race towards a promised land that might only be a myth, Banyan makes shocking discoveries about his family, his past, and how far people will go to bring back the trees.
Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Book discussion on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 3pm
Incarceron — a futuristic prison, sealed from view, where the descendants of the original prisoners live in a dark world torn by rivalry and savagery. It is a terrifying mix of high technology — a living building which pervades the novel as an ever-watchful, ever-vengeful character, and a typical medieval torture chamber — chains, great halls, dungeons. A young prisoner, Finn, has haunting visions of an earlier life, and cannot believe he was born here and has always been here. In the outer world, Claudia, daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, is trapped in her own form of prison — a futuristic world constructed beautifully to look like a past era, an imminent marriage she dreads. She knows nothing of Incarceron, except that it exists. But there comes a moment when Finn, inside Incarceron, and Claudia, outside, simultaneously find a device — a crystal key, through which they can talk to each other. And so the plan for Finn's escape is born …

A gifted illusionist, Anna assists her mother, the renowned medium Marguerite Van Housen, in her stage show and séances, easily navigating the underground world of magicians, mediums, and mentalists in 1920's New York. As the illegitimate daughter of Harry Houdini—or so Marguerite claims—sleight of hand illusions have never been a challenge for Anna. The real trick is keeping her own gifts secret from her opportunistic mother. Because while Marguerite's own powers may be a sham, Anna possesses a true ability to sense people's feelings and foretell the future.
But as Anna's powers intensify, she begins to experience frightening visions of her mother in peril, which leads her to explore the powers she's tried so long to hide. And when a mysterious young man named Cole moves into the flat downstairs, introducing Anna to a secret society that studies people with gifts like hers, she is forced to confront her past and rethink everything she's ever known. Is her mother truly in danger, or are Anna's visions merely illusion? And could the great Houdini really be her father, or is it just another of Marguerite's tricks?

Defense secretary highlights Walnut Creek woman in POW/MIA Recognition Day speech
Today is POW/MIA Recognition Day.
During his speech at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta highlighted Kathy Strong, a Walnut Creek resident who wore an MIA bracelet for 38 years, as an example of someone who lived up to the words: You are not forgotten."
Strong removed the bracelet before the funeral of James Moreland, whose name it bore, and it was buried with his remains.
Here is what Panetta said:
"Distinguished guests, veterans, wounded warriors, senior leaders of the Department, let me express to you how I honored I am to be here on this solemn day. This is my first opportunity as the new Secretary of Defense to pay tribute to the POW/MIA community.
I'd like to especially recognize the representatives of that community, former prisoners of war, and the families of the missing in action, all of whom have joined us here this morning. Today as we honor those who have been imprisoned and those missing while defending our nation, we also honor their family members, the brave men and women who have kept those memories of their loved ones burning bright and who have never stopped, never stopped, pushing this nation and its leaders for the closure that they deserve.
Forty years ago, during the Vietnam War, it was the wife of a missing service member, a young woman named Mary Hoff, who realized that a symbol was needed to remind us of his plight; to remind us of all our service members who were missing or suffering at the hands of foreign captors. She developed the idea of a flag, with a haunting image designed by a World War II pilot, that would eventually become a national emblem.
It is the only flag, aside from Old Glory, that has flown above the White House. In 1989, it was installed in the Capitol rotunda as a symbol of this nation's commitment to fully account for those that are still missing. I was a member of Congress at that time, and was so inspired by the flag and by what it stood for that I introduced legislation to require that it be flown at U.S. diplomatic posts and military installations worldwide.
What moved me and so many others about this flag was not only the stark design, but the message inscribed across the bottom of that flag: 'You are Not Forgotten.' Today, we reaffirm that sacred pledge: 'You are Not Forgotten.' We voice an entire nation's unending support and our undying promise that, no matter how long it takes, no matter what it takes, we will not stop until we have brought every American home. We pledge that we leave no one behind.
Over the years, slowly, methodically, we have been making progress in this effort. Six hundred men and women of this Department – military and civilian, investigators and scientists – work tirelessly around the world to fully account for the more than 80,000 American service members who remain unaccounted for from last century's conflicts. This is painstaking work, carried out in the field and in laboratories here at home.
Because of these efforts, the remains of 98 missing American service members have been identified in the past year – 25 from the Vietnam War, 36 from the Korean War, 36 from World War II, and one from World War I. That's 98 more families who now have closure, and the knowledge that their nation did not forget them, did not let the passage of time dampen our resolve to locate and identify their loved ones.
No other country, no other country, has devoted so much energy and so many resources to account for our fallen. We do this because we believe that every life is precious, and because those who put their lives on the line for this country need to know that we will spare no effort to bring them home. Today I make to you the promise, as Secretary of Defense, we will do everything we can to bring them home. A promise I make not only to the families of the missing and captured, but to all of our men and women serving in harms' way around the world.
In the wars of this century, we are blessed by the fact that fewer Americans are missing, fewer have been taken as prisoners, and fewer families have had to wait for their return. Still, as we gather here, three DoD contractors are missing and two soldiers are being held captive in Iraq and Afghanistan – Staff Sergeant Ahmed Altaie, captured in Iraq in October 2006, and Sergeant Bowe Bergdalh, captured in Afghanistan in June of 2009.
This morning, we gather here and again call for their release and reiterate our commitment to bring all missing Americans home. That commitment, simple yet sacred, is fundamental to the values of our nation and, in turn, to our military. And as we raise the POW/MIA flag in communities across America, we pledge to live by its creed, You are Not Forgotten, not only today, but every day.
Around the time that flag came into existence so did POW/MIA bracelets, each bearing the name of a soldier being held as prisoner or missing in action in the Vietnam War. In 1972, a 12 year-old from California named Kathy Strong got one of those bracelets in her Christmas stocking. On it was the name of Sergeant James Moreland, an Army Green Beret who had gone missing four years earlier. And on that Christmas morning, that 12 year-old girl decided she would wear that bracelet until James Moreland came home, until she could hand it to him in person.
Kathy Strong wore that bracelet for 38 years, unsure if she would ever take it off. Then, early this year, 43 years after he went missing, James Moreland's sisters got word that their brother's remains had been found and that, at long last – through the tireless efforts of DoD personnel – he had been identified. Sergeant Moreland's sisters invited Kathy to the funeral in May. And there she took off her bracelet and put it on Sergeant Moreland's uniform.
Kathy Strong should inspire us all. For it should not just be a few among us that help families carry the torch year after year, decade after decade for those who are missing; it needs to be all of us. It should be all of us who as one family, and one nation pledge on this day, and every day, that for as long as it takes to bring every American home, we will never stop working, we will never stop searching, and we will never stop thinking of those lost warriors. We will never forget those who have sacrificed for our freedoms and our values. That is why this country is the greatest country on earth.
May God bless those who have lost their dear ones, may God bless their families, and may God bless this great nation of ours. Thank you."
What is your reaction to Panetta's speech?

In all fairness we have a tiny house and mirrors are supposed to make a space feel bigger, right? Follow my logic? Anyway, hold on to your pants on this one because this project is sooo cool it might blow your pants off your behind if you're not careful :) Just a fair warning.
Just take a few already read shelter magazines, a sheet of foam core board, beveled craft mirror, gold spray paint and copious amounts of hot glue and end up with this on your wall.
Here's the quick run-through of the process.
I absolutely love it! It makes such a statement and with a twin on the other side and a few other things prettified in here I'm hoping it'll finally start feeling like an enchanted place. More pics to come as I finish them. And I'll probably take a few weeks off here over Christmas and New Year's while I work on things and spend time with the family.
Ps. Linking up with Uncommon Designs Monday Funday.

SMEs urged to adopt flexible working
Go on
Posted in The Channel, 6th April 2006 10:43 GMT
BT is backing a scheme to get more UK firms to adopt "smarter" working practices. Work Wise UK is due to kick off next month as part of a three year programme to get more people to work remotely or from home.
Set up by not-for-profit outfit the IT Forum Foundation, Work Wise UK is particularly targeting SMEs. SMEs are the biggest collective employers in the country, yet are also least likely to allow staff to work flexibly. Those behind Work Wise UK are looking to change that to help boost productivity while safeguarding "a healthy work-life balance".
According to the latest government stats, there are around 3.1m "home workers" in the UK (people who work mainly in their own home, or in different places using home as a base) out of a total working population of 29m.
Work Wise UK believes this can be extended to half of the workforce within five years.
Of course, technology, such as the increased availability of affordable broadband and advances in mobile technology, is a vital part of flexible working, but it isn't everything. Experts say it's more about changing culture, "changing the way people work and giving them the skills to work smarter".
BT people and policy director Caroline Waters said: "Where, when and how we work is changing and today's businesses are more efficient and more flexible as a result of the networked world in which we operate.
"However, while the benefits of adopting flexible working practices are clear in terms of increased productivity and employee satisfaction, the challenge for management is to ensure that it is equipped to cope with a digitally enabled workforce." ®

In this latest blog entry, Greg Beaver talks about the "settling in" that the latest PEAR version branch, 1.4.x, is finally getting around to.
I'm happy to report that the PEAR 1.4.x branch is finally settling in. All of the issues reported since the release of PEAR 1.4.6 have been rare edge cases that won't affect the greater majority of users. I give the unit test suite that I've been slaving over full credit for this accomplishment, as it has caught several re-introduced problems when fixing newly discovered bugs. If you aren't unit-testing, you are wasting your future time, not to mention your end-users' time!
Also mentioned are some of the issues that have been noticed since the release of 1.4.6 (including issues with version_compare, problems with the packagefilemanager, "pear" command was ignoring safe_mode/open_basedir restrictions), but they've already been corrected. There's also been the addition of unit testing functionality that allows you to run tests post-install automatically.

Posted by rednu on 3/27/2013 12:43:00 AM (view original):There is no magic number for pulldowns...I've pulled kids down with as few as 3 SV's and a schollie or as many as 23 SV's before he finally came down. Each kid is different, so pick a number you feel comfortable sending and then add the scholarship and see what happens.
Posted by pepwaves on 3/27/2013 12:45:00 AM (view original):From my experience, there is no perfect number required to pulldown a player. 10 SVs just works most of the time, so that's what most people use. Therefore, if 10 is all it takes for the player you want...it shouldn't matter if you split the SVs up between different cycles.

But it was raining. And the kid and I were completely devoid of rain gear.
I cursed myself a little bit for never remembering to check the weather. Then I decided to wimp out, go buy an umbrella (new, not even a used umbrella), and walk to daycare. Then I could walk the stroller home (as opposed to strapping it to the bike). Since the stroller comes with a rain cover, I wouldn't be subjected to any I'm-wet-and-its-the-end-of-the-world hysteria. My daughter and I would stay dry.
But being a procrastinator, I didn't ever leave to buy the umbrella and instead found myself needing to get to daycare as fast as possible, which means using the bike. But what to do about the water-phobic tot? I decided to go for the tried and true plastic-garbage-bag method. It works for keeping my computer dry in my backpack when it rains, so why not the kid?
I took a plastic bag, poked a hole in the top, put the bag over my daughter H, put her helmet on and put her in the bike seat like a little burrito. I didn't even pull her arms out. I poked a couple more holes in the bag so that I could thread the straps through, and I was done. Before I put her on the bike, H had noticed a worm on the sidewalk and we talked about how worms like the rain. So as I was getting her settled in, I told her that she was a worm and that she liked the rain too. She told me her shoes were getting wet, but she never really complained about that or the fact that her arms were pinned down. She was a trooper. I got absolutely soaked, but H only got her pants a little wet.
Once I got home, I thought about how embarrassing it is to claim to be a big biker with kids and not to have rain gear for myself or the toddler. OK, I do have that big blue poncho, but it only works if I remember to bring it with me. Where can we get pint-sized raingear (and can we get it used)? Can I rig up a bike-seat cover so that H never gets wet as I'm sure I should? I felt guilty for a while, and then Dorea and I decided that we should just embrace the plastic bag method.
So my new goal is to get a handful of cheap plastic garbage bags and some rubber bands (for securing bags to shoes and whatnot) and stash them in the Xtracycle (along with my poncho). If it's raining when we are on the way somewhere, I can throw in a change of clothes. If it's raining on the way home, we can just strip when we get home and get into dry things. Then I'll look for a time to try out the line that my parents used with me when I complained about the rain, "You're not made of sugar -- you won't melt."

Vancouver police said the cause of death was not immediately apparent, but they ruled out foul play.
Medical examiners will conduct an autopsy Monday.
Monteith's body was discovered by staff members at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel after he missed his checkout time, acting Chief Constable Doug LePard told reporters.
Monteith apparently had several people over to his room at one point Friday night, but LePard said Monteith, who had checked in July 6, was seen on hotel surveillance video returning to his room in the early morning hours by himself.
"We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate," his rep said in a statement. "We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss."
One of his castmates on GLEE, Mark Salling, tweeted a simple "no" after police held their news conference.
Harry Shum Jr added, "At this time, please send nothing but love and light. This tragic news still doesn't seem real to me. I love you Cory."
Dot-Marie Jones, who plays the football coach at the fictional William McKinley High tweeted: "I have no words! My heart is broken. Cory was not only a hell of a friend, he was one amazing man that I will hold close to my heart forever.
"I am blessed to have worked with him and love him so much! My heart is with his family and our whole GLEE family! I love you all!"
Monteith spent time in rehab this year, checking into a drug addiction treatment facility in late March.
He had been frank about his struggles with substance abuse, telling Parade magazine in 2011 that he began using drugs at 13, and by 19 went into rehab after his mother and friends intervened.
On GLEE, Monteith played the dim quarterback of the football team at the Ohio high school who is forced to join the glee club. After graduation, he comes back to town and helps direct a musical at the school.
In 2011, he won a Teen Choice Award for top actor in a comedy. The show's cast won a Screen Actors Guild Award for an ensemble in a comedy the previous year.

DANVILLE, Ky. — Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Rep. Paul Ryan will seize the campaign spotlight Thursday night for a 90-minute debate, their only faceoff of the 2012 race for the White House.
The encounter between the 69-year-old vice president and 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman is a high-profile interlude between last week's race-altering debate featuring President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney and next Tuesday's return engagement.
Romney has gained ground in national and battleground-state surveys in the week since he shared a stage with the president, and even Obama has conceded he performed poorly.
Mocking recent changes in Romney's rhetoric, Obama told a Miami rally on Thursday, "After running for more than a year in which he called himself severely conservative, Mitt Romney is trying to convince you that he was severely kidding."
Romney visited with 93-year-old evangelist Billy Graham in North Carolina — "Prayer is the most helpful thing you can do for me," he told the evangelist — before an evening rally in Asheville.
For Biden, Thursday night's debate is his first since the 2008 campaign, when he shared a stage with Sarah Palin, then John McCain's running mate.
Ryan spars frequently with Democrats during debates on legislation on the House floor and in the House Budget Committee, which he chairs, but not in a one-on-one encounter covering 90 minutes and a virtually unlimited range of topics.
For all their differences, the two men share a common objective, to advance the cause of their tickets in a close race for the presidency — and avoid a gaffe that might forever seal their place in the history of debates.
Romney's choice of Ryan as running mate over the summer cheered conservatives in the House, many of whom regard him as their leader on budget and economic issues. The seven-term lawmaker has authored a pair of deficit-reducing budgets in the past two years that call for spending cuts and changes in Medicare, blueprints that Republicans passed through the House and Obama and his allies in Congress frequently criticize. He also champions a no-tax increase approach to economic policy.
As a senator before becoming vice president, Biden was chairman of the Foreign Relations and Judiciary committees, and he has long experience in national security issues. More recently, he was Obama's point man in arduous, ultimately unsuccessful negotiations with Republicans on steps to cut the deficit.
Both Ryan and Biden held extensive rehearsals, with stand-ins for their opponents.
Biden turned to Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who is well-versed in Ryan's policy views from his tenure as senior Democrat on the Budget Committee.
Ryan's foil in rehearsal was former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a skillful courtroom advocate.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News had moderator duties.
After they meet next week in Hempstead, N.Y., Obama and Romney will have one more debate, Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.
Associated Press writers Philip Elliott in Kentucky, Ken Thomas in Florida and Kasie Hunt in North Carolina contributed. Espo reported from Washington.

Press Release
Alaska Supreme Court Affirms Governor's Veto Authority Regarding Longevity Bonus Appropriation
February 10, 2006
(Anchorage) - Alaska Attorney General David Márquez announced today that the Alaska Supreme Court issued a decision in Simpson v. Murkowski, affirming the Governor's authority to veto the appropriation for longevity bonus payments.
"The plaintiffs in this case raised several theories for continuing this program, all of which were denied at the trial court level. Today's decision upholds this earlier ruling," said Márquez. "The significance of today's ruling is its affirmation of the role that both the legislative and executive branches play in proposing and approving our state budget. Today's decision also concluded that the Longevity Bonus Act did not create a legally enforceable promise to continue payments for seniors under the plaintiffs' promissory estoppel and contract theories."
The only legal issue remaining and remanded to the superior court for determination is whether an economic incentive exists for the plaintiffs such that they do not hold public interest litigant status. This distinction is critical because depending upon that determination the plaintiffs could be required to pay legal costs to the state for not prevailing on this lawsuit.
"Despite the fact that today's opinion seeks more of a factual record to be developed to determine whether the plaintiffs in this case qualify as public interest litigants, the state will not pursue this claim on remand," said Marquez. "Our motivation in this matter was to seek clarification of the law. While we do not concede our position that the plaintiffs would not qualify as public interest litigants, pursuing the point in light of today's decision is unwarranted."

The Emmet County Board of Supervisors again moved forward vacating two miles of road on Tuesday.
The board passed a resolution to set the public hearing for 9:15 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 27 on vacating 500th Avenue between 200th Street and 220th Street.
Adjacent property owners to the area will be notified about the hearing. The supervisors must approve each of three separate readings and three different meetings before the action becomes final. The road will then revert to those property owners.
In other business, county engineer Roger Patocka reported that a company has been hired to paint the edge and centerlines on paved roads in the west half of the county.
Patocka estimates there are 160 miles of paved road in Emmet County and half, about 80 miles, is painted each year.
Also Tuesday, Patocka presented three utility permits that the board approved.
The first was for Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative for a single, plowed underground 7200volt cable from the southwest corner of the intersection of Highway 4 and 380th Avenue to a point approximately 1,000 feet west.
The second was for Windstream of Emmetsburg for a six paired phone cable crossing in the 190th Street right-of-way in Armstrong Grove Township sections 21 and 28.
The third permit was for Ringtel Communications of Ringsted for a 12-pair phone cable crossing 530th Avenue and along 530th Avenue and 206 Street to Halfa Feed Mill. That is in Armstrong Grove township sections 31 and 32.
The supervisors also approved a six-month contract between Emmet County and Seasons Center effective July 1, 2013, through Dec. 31, 2013.

Submission + - China's Research Ambitions Hurt by Faked Results
Hugh Pickens writes: "AP reports that plagiarizing or faking results is so rampant in Chinese academia that some experts worry it could hinder China's efforts to become a leader in science. China's state-run media recently rejoiced over reports that China publishes more papers in international journals than any other country except the US but not all the research stands up to scrutiny. In December, a British journal retracted 70 papers from a Chinese university, all by the same two lead scientists, saying the work had been fabricated and expressing amazement that a fake crystal structure would be submitted for publication. "Academic fraud, misconduct and ethical violations are very common in China," said professor Rao Yi, dean of the life sciences school at Peking University. "It is a big problem." Last month the Education Ministry released guidelines for forming a 35-member watchdog committee and has asked universities to get tough but Rao remains skeptical. Government ministries are happy to fund research but not to police it, Rao says. "The authorities don't want to be the bad guy."""

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents arrested a St. John Parish man on March 31 for alleged narcotics violations.
Christopher M. Steele, 23, of Laplace was arrested for allegedly possessing marijuana with intent to distribute. Steele, who has two prior narcotics arrests, was booked into the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center.
Agents were patrolling the Bonnet Carre' Spillway when they spotted Steele in his vehicle blocking the rear boat launch. Upon contact with Steele, the agents detected a strong odor of marijuana in his vehicle. The agents then discovered approximately one ounce of a substance the agents suspected was marijuana, a digital scale and several plastic bags. Steele was arrested and the substance, scale and bags were seized.
The substance was submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis. The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office seized Steele's vehicle, a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe.
The penalty for a third offense conviction of illegally possessing marijuana is imprisonment with or without hard labor for up to 20 years. The penalty for possessing marijuana with intent to distribute is a term of imprisonment at hard labor between five and 30 years and a fine between $15,000.
Agents participating in the investigation were Sgt. Eddie Skena and Agent Derek Sampey.

of WCN (Worldchessnetwork) When it was up and running. And i hope that CC can involve it in there Community as Well.
And that it to may be during the day run, Master Challenges and Community Challenges. The idea of this
was to create more of a friendlier and more chance for lower rated players to get involved with everyone else
and to give them a chance to play higher rated players.
Master Challenges and Community Challenges are as follows for those who dont know:
Master Challenges:
Are where a Master or someone with over 2300 Plays all players this lasts one Hour and 30minutes, or can be extended with Moderators Permissions. the master gets 1min 30Sec and challenger 2Minutes on there clock. Any Player can Que up to face the Master regardless of rating but obviously most of them will be under 2000. the games are unrated. each time a game has finished another is created for the next challenger in the Que
Community Challenges:
This is probs the best one and really fun, this similar to master challenge where one person preferably over 2100.
Faces the Community for example if i play against the community and i am white. i play E4, then if there is 20 people of the community joining in against me they themselves choose the communities move if 25% say e6, 25% say E5 n the rest say 50% C5 then the move played will be C5. then it continues like that. I have 10minutes only to finish the game my time gets paused as the community decides there move then starts again when it is my move. This game is unrated.
Anyway this is a brief description if Chesscube accept this suggestion and they want to add Cubits as prizes to each individual to beat the master in the Master Challenge that is fine. But Can Sean or Bryan speak to me about it sometime On Chesscube or leave replies here.

Cross Country/Track Names Benji Wetli Assistant Coach
Related Links
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG country/track and field interim head coach Chad Pearson announced the addition of Benji Wetli as an assistant coach Wednesday. Wetli joins the Spartans from the cross country/track and field program at Iowa State where he was an volunteer assistant coach for the last three years.
"We are very excited to have Benji join the Spartan family," Pearson said. "He brings a wealth of knowledge to our program and will help improve our teams in all areas, including competition and recruiting. After serving as an assistant coach at Iowa State which is nationally known for distance running success, he will certainly help continue the tradition of a strong distance running program at UNCG. Benji loves the sport of cross country/track on the collegiate level and that will serve the UNCG running programs well as he begins his duties in Greensboro."
During Wetli's time in Ames, Iowa, the Cyclones produced one of the top programs in the country in both cross country and track and field. He helped Iowa State notch three National Championship performers, 25 NCAA All-America honors, 13 Big 12 Conference Champions and 98 All-Big 12 Conference recipients in just three years.
"I am thrilled to be joining the UNCG cross country and track & field staff," Wetli said. "I am very thankful to Chad and the UNCG administration for this opportunity. I am excited to help contribute to the continued development of the Spartan running programs as we build off the success of the past several years."
Wetli helped the women's cross country program at Iowa State to Big 12 Conference championships in 2011 and 2012 as well as three straight NCAA Midwest Regional Championships. The Cyclones finished in the top 11 in the nation in women's cross country all three years during his time there, including a seventh place finish in 2011.
The women's indoor track and field team at Iowa State placed ninth in the NCAA Championships in 2013 and 10th in 2012. The women's program finished the 2013 season in fourth place in the Women's Program of the Year standings.
Wetli is certified a USA Track & Field Level 1 coach. He ran collegiately at NCAA Division III St. Norbert College as a cross country and distance athlete. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from St. Norbert in 2010 while also securing his Master of Science in Kinesiology from Iowa State in 2013.

Daily Links, Feb. 1: Good news on Afghanistan, bad news for Planned Parenthood, and Romney's poor choice of words
As we kick off February, the big news story now making the rounds this afternoon is the announcement of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan will end [1] as early as the middle of next year.
Another big story that broke late in the day yesterday is the announcement that Susan G. Komen for the Cure will no longer fund Planned Parenthood's [2] breast cancer screenings. On our blog today, I take a closer look at what this might mean for the Catholic Church's longstanding boycott [3] of the Komen charity.
Former Philadelphia archbishop Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua passed away [4] in his sleep last night at age 88. This comes one day after a judge ruled that Bevilacqua's testimony, taken during a November deposition, would be allowed in the upcoming sexual abuse trial [5] in Philadelphia.
Elsewhere in the church, it is impossible to escape talk of the contraception mandate and the bishops' protest of it. On our blog, Bryan Cones takes a closer look [6] at exactly who is required to provide coverage of contraception in their health care plans, revealing that the mandate isn't quite as broad as the bishops are making it seem.
We also haven't heard the last of Alabama's harsh (and heavily contested) immigration law, but Faith in Public Life reports [7] that a new study shows just how severe the law's consequences are [8] for the state's economy.
And last but not least, Mitt Romney was the victor in last night's Florida Republican primary. The campaign left Kevin Clarke thinking about just how much money can bu [9]y in today's political arena, but others are more focused on comments Romney made about his lack of concern for the poor [10]. Here at U.S. Catholic, Liz Lefebvre breaks down Romney's remarks [11] and shows why they are flawed not just politically, but morally and factually as well.
