TAFE students surprise Councillors with anniversary trophy
Wednesday, 13 September 2017
To celebrate one year since Lismore City Councillors were elected, North Coast Institute of TAFE students from the Lismore campus made a series of recycled timber trophies to mark the occasion.
The Advanced Diploma of Design students created the trophies as a surprise for Councillors as part of a course unit looking at environmentally sustainability.
"This was a really positive collaboration between TAFE and Council," teacher Steve Giese said.
The trophies were designed to reflect Council's commitment to recycling and waste innovation, and designs ranged from sculptural natural timber pieces to painted red hearts that celebrated the city's symbol.
"What better way to recognise our elected representatives' first year in the job – a plastic trophy for our Lismore Councillors just wouldn't be the done thing!" Waste Education Officer Barbara Jensen said.
"We want to start building sustainability into everything we do, so that our community, our Councillors, our staff and our local institutions are all consciously thinking about waste reduction. We want everyone in our community to be thinking about ways to reuse and recycle in everyday life and work."

The plan, dubbed "Operation For Tomorrow", is aimed at restricting access to online games that the Chinese government considers violent or undesirable for young people. The announcement clarifies a statement released in January in which officials condemned online gaming as a "spiritual opium."
The government intends to close several unlicensed internet cafes and increase regulation on legal ones, citing the presence of readily-available access to online gaming as breeding grounds for internet addiction.
As a means of regulating the industry, China has enacted laws barring anybody under the age of 18 from entering internet cafes, and mandated time restrictions on adult players. Recent figures released by the state-owned Xinhua News Agency estimate that over 40 million people in China play online games.

Empty booths for advance voting in Thomas County's runoff election illustrates a problem on a much broader scale: low voter turnout statewide.
Lisa Greene says, "Today the first day we've had five voters and that's a very low turnout."
Though Greene says that's usually expected for a runoff election, Georgia has ranked about 49th in every presidential election since 1960.
In 2000 Thomas County had a 62 percent turnout for the presidential elections, but the superintendent of elections says that's still not good enough.
Vicky Burnette says, "People do not understand that is a right and privilege to vote and people that they elect make big decisions and they need to be more involved in these decisions."
This year advance voting went into affect in Georgia and locally election officials split precincts to create more voter turnout, but they say they still haven't gotten much of a response.
"We need to focus more on voter education to try to bring more voters out," adds Lisa.
State election officials have chalked the lack of participation up as simply voter apathy. Nonetheless, they're still working to spark more interest for November's election.

Dessert:ARG! Do I need to serve dessert? Maybe a cake from the bakers. (Or ask my mom for her carrot cake . . . but then, she'd be the only person bringing anything.)
Ooh, if you're going to do corn on the cob, and you have room in your oven, bake it in the husk at 350 for half an hour. It's magical. Let's just say I don't even need butter and salt to enjoy it (and I will butter and salt just about everything).
One suggestion for the menu....the potatoes and veggie are all eeally starchy types. ....green beans, potatoes and corn...what about a lighter type veggies like carrot or asparagus?

An accountant who stole almost £200,000 from the luxury shoe firm where she was in charge of the finances has been jailed.
Dale Ballance, 44, paid for a 'lavish and decadent' wedding to her husband and also bought a racehorse out of her ill-gotten gains.
Ballance was jailed for three-and-a-half years over the two-year deception which she carried out while working for Leeds-based upmarket shoe and handbag firm Moda in Pelle.
Leeds Crown Court heard Ballance began working for the company as management accountant in 2008, with a starting salary on £40,000
She was also allowed to carry on operating her private accountancy firm at the same time.
A jury heard Ballance then managed to persuade her employers to up her annual pay to £50,000.
Ballance, of Manor Park Avenue, Allerton Bywater, carried out a "bold and calculated" series of thefts from the company between May 2009 and March 2011.
The deception enabled her to buy a half share in a racehorse called Sharadiyn for her husband.
She also paid for a lavish wedding which included a ring-bearing owl called Olly and seven bridesmaids in what was described by the prosecution as a "lavish and decadent affair."
Ballance also bought two wedding dresses and had no idea how much either of them cost.
The court heard she abused the trust placed in her by making cheques out to herself. The deception came to light when she left the company after her employers refused to give her another pay rise.
Ballance continued to deny the offending and claimed the money was part of a 'secret bonus system' which had been set up by her employers. She also accused her former bosses of committing perjury when they gave evidence at her trial. The jury rejected her claims and found her guilty of three offences of theft.
Judge Guy Kearl, QC, told Ballance: "This was systematic and persistent removal of a considerable amount of money. You were in a position of trust.
"Instead of repaying that trust with loyalty you manipulated the accounting ledgers in order to cover up your stealing.
"You did that by posting false entries in the ledgers so that the thefts could not be discovered after you left.
"Even when you were discovered, you lied to the other directors when they sought to meet to resolve the matters. You lied to the police and you lied to the jury."
The court heard the offending took place when Moda in Pelle was struggling financially.
The judge added: "The money was spent in my judgement on a high standard of living. You spent some of the money on what was described as a lavish wedding. There can be no doubt it was one where many people attended. Some of the money would have gone towards that and what you spent on a racehorse which you obtained and then ran."
Ballance's barrister, Charles Blatchford, said his client still denied the offending. He said Ballance had lost her home and was £19,000 in debt.
Mr Blatchford described Ballance as the main breadwinner and her husband he would suffer as a result of the convictions.
The barrister added: "She will leave prison and will have no job, no home, and no prospects as a middle-aged woman."
Ballance now faces further court hearings under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

By Stephanie Elliot for Betty Confidential
In a rare moment of intimacy, when my husband and I are in the house at the same time, two kids are at school, and the last one is sitting quietly in front of the TV, we are like two ships in the night, gliding past one another in our bedroom - he, getting dressed for work; me, about to hop into the shower.
We glance at one another, and I see it in his eyes. I am feeling it too, and I move in for what I want.
It's not what you think. I am after some N.S.A.
Non-Sexual Affection.
I want a full body, skin-to-skin hug to connect us, so I step into his arms. We hold each other for a few minutes and I whisper to him that I wish we could just get into bed and lie together all morning like this.
Of course, he gets the wrong idea, because what I really meant was, "I wish we could just get into bed and lie together all morning like this."
He replies, "I'll take care of you." I think this means he will continue to hug me and maybe rub my back a while, push the hair from my face, kiss me sweetly and tell me he loves me while I rest with my eyes closed, relishing in the quietness of the house while he and I reconnect in the midst of a busy week.
He's thinking Orgasm.
His Orgasm. Not mine. Which I can't blame him because he knows under no circumstances (OK, possibly at midnight when I am sure all three kids are asleep and I have just finished a bottle of wine), will I be able to relax enough to do this when there is a remote chance we could be interrupted by children.
But, today, I figure we might as well make a go for it because with only a third of our children home, the odds are in our favor that we won't get interrupted. I quickly check on our preschooler and find him engrossed in the antics of Dora and Boots, and there's still 20 minutes left in the episode. Houston, we have lift-off!
But, of course, as soon as those initial sparks ignite, on perfect cue we hear our preschooler yell, "Mom, I need you to tie my pants!"
"I can't! I'm getting in the shower so I'll do it in a minute!" I reply.
Footsteps approach the bedroom door: "Daddy can do it for me!"
A simultaneous "No!" erupts from our side of the door as we look to each other in terror, all passion fizzling.
It's just not like it used to be. Sex now, 12 years and three kids later ... well, you tell me an easy way to "get busy."

Does anyone know how these lifts will affect the camber? Is there anywhere you can buy just the strut extensions, then do the rest yourself?

if you just lift your suspension, yes your camber will be a little off... depending on how much you lift it, you should be ok just going and getting it alligned with the stock camber bolts.

China v Saudi Arabia at Chiang Mai Gymkhana
Saudi Arabia won the toss and chose to bat
Saudi Arabia: 283 for 9 off 50 overs (S.Ahmed 39, H.Saeed 45, A.Sajjad 81; Z.Yufei 3-65)
China: 49 off 18 overs
Man of the Match: Amir Sajjad (Saudi Arabia)
Interesting development regarding yesterday's Thailand v Iran match - Iran forfeit this match due to their fielding of two ineligible players as quoted from ACC's TC results page.
ACC Trophy Challenge 2010 - RESULTS
Even though Iran won their match against Thailand by 4 runs still they have forfeited their match due to fielding 2 ineligible players. So everything going according to the predictions made.
Myanmar doing better than yesterday
They have reached 50 for 6 in 23rd over.
Brunei v Saudi Arabia
S. Arabia:134/2, Over-20
Iran vs Qatar, Qatar: 60/5, Over :12
China v Maldives, Maldives : 38/2,
Qatar 95/6 V Iran after 25 overs
Saudi Arabia 187/5 After 30 Overs V Brunei
Myanmar 50/7 after 25 Overs V Thailand. I bet they will be all out before 62 Runs

Professional Conduct/Etiquette
Here are some simple tips for making a great first impression:
- Turn your cell phone off before you even walk into the building!
- Carry a portfolio with a pad, pen - this is far less cumbersome than a briefcase.
- Be sure to have several extra copies of your resume with you.
- Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early: that is what "on time" means.
- Visit the restroom. Catch your breath, check yourself in the mirror, and put your best face on!
- Greet the receptionist warmly. Treat everyone you meet politely: the building security guard; receptionist; employees you pass in the hall; other individuals who may also be in the waiting room. The minute you set foot in the employer's space (building, campus, etc), you are "on".
- Spend your waiting time getting focused and taking in your surroundings.
- Greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake; make eye contact.
- Maintain an alert but relaxed posture during the interview.
- Take your cue from the interviewer as to when the meeting is over.
- Shake hands firmly, smile, thank your interviewer for this opportunity to meet, and reaffirm your enthusiasm for the position. Ask for a business card.
- Make sure you have contact information for everyone you've spoken with and send "thank you" e-mails the same day

RSS | Module Info | Add a review of Nagios-Object
Appreciate this is a reasonably new module, so it hasn't had much use, and there isn't many examples to google. On the whole the module works quite well. I used it to compare two nagios configs, as we are migrating to a new config, and need to keep a new config up to date with an existing config.
It would be useful if there were more examples of usage. I would describe myself as an intermediate perl programmer, and getting to grips with arrays or arrays, arrays of hashes and other nested data structures can take some effort!
Problems I experienced:
-Picking out nested attribute values like members. I could not get this to work and resorted to the dump() method. I used something like this:
if ($k1->attribute_is_list($a)) {
$num=$k1->$a; # $a is attribute name
if (defined $num) { # has a value; eg defined
print scalar(@$num)."\n"; # this shows the number of members
# As I could not work out how to get to the values I used dump()
-Some attributes return an array, even when they are not a list. For example Nagios::TimePeriod. Again I have to resort to the dump() function to get the values.
A couple of examples here would have helped.
Anyhow, many thanks, other than those issues, has been very valuable to me.
Giving two stars for the effort. As of this writing this module is pretty much unusable for any fairly complex configs. I just couldn't make the Nagios:Config module parse templated my config and had to fix some other thing to manage using StatusLog. I sent the patches but they never been included.

Houston,Tx. Three Republican candidates for Texas Lt-Governor and Pauken for Governor pledge support for enforcement legislation. Pauken, Dewhurst, Patrick and Patterson all returned the surveys compiled by three Texas advocacy groups for immigration enforcement. "Pauken's opponent, Attorney General Greg Abbott, is MIA on the issue," says Mrs.Theiss, founder of Stop the Magnet, who issued the survey, "It seems he is waiting on DC to save him with an amnesty bill."
Unlike his opponents, Patterson also admits his support for the guest-worker plank in the TX GOP platform developed and promoted by the restaurant and construction industries in Texas.
In the case of a run-off, Stop the Magnet will reissue a specific questionnaire on whether the candidates support the Texas Solution.

GSFM will donate more than 1,000 lbs. of fresh local produce to help feed local families
Springfield, MO (August 02, 2012) The Greater Springfield Farmers' Market & The Salvation Army are teaming up to help feed our local Ozarks neighbors in need.
When growers of the Greater Springfield Farmers' Market recently heard in the local media that the shelves at The Salvation Army's Emergency Food Panty were running bare they didn't let any grass grow under their feet before contacting the organization to help.
On August 4th, the Greater Springfield Farmer's Market has invited The Salvation Army to set up a booth for representatives to accept *nonperishable food items & monetary donations from 8 am until 1 pm during its weekly Saturday market. Then on Tuesday August 7th, GSFM members will donate approximately 1,000 lbs. of fresh locally-grown produce to the organization to be distributed to local families through its weekly Emergency Food Pantry. The Greater Springfield Farmer's Market is located on the southeast corner of Battlefield Mall's parking lot - 2951 S. Glenstone Ave.
"We are delighted and so very thankful that the Greater Springfield Farmer's Market has generously offered to help us help local families in need." Major Norman Grainger, Ozark Area Coordinator, said. "This is truly an example of Springfield helping Springfield."
The Greater Springfield Farmer's Market is a growers-only market and is the largest of its kind in Missouri. According to Brad Gray, GSFM Market Manager, many of the growers planted extra produce this year with the sole intent of helping local Ozarks' food pantries, like The Salvation Army's.
"Because our community so strongly supports our local farmers, our local farmers are enabled to give back to help support our community," Gray said. So far this year, members of the GSFM have donated more than 30,000 pounds of fresh, locally-grown produce to a variety of worthy recipients. On Tuesday August 7th, a large Salvation Army donation truck will be on hand to accept the GSFM's donation at the end of Tuesday's market. The Salvation Army will then distribute the produce the very next day to the more than 100 households that are expected to come to the Emergency Food Pantry for help feeding their families.
*Nonperishable food items that are most needed include, peanut butter, breakfast cereals, canned meats, pasta & pasta sauces, boxed dinners, oatmeal, baby food & infant care tems.

Gov. John Engler's decision to stop the distribution of $850 million in state revenue sharing to local governments has city and county leaders outraged.
The governor is planning to hold back money in case voters pass three ballot proposals on Nov. 5. Those initiatives include efforts to institute drug rehabilitation programs, collective bargaining abilities for state employees and use of tobacco settlement money for tobacco-related health care.
The governor says those programs will drain money from the state of Michigan, but supporters of the tobacco proposal say their plan will save the state money. They say the governor is wrong to threaten the elimination of state money to local governments if the proposals do pass.
Supporters say local governments shouldn't worry about losing money because a new administration will take over state government in January.
East Lansing representatives say they're concerned they'll lose $4.6 million in state funds that will help pay for police and fire services.
Lansing could lose between $12 and $13 million, which might put the fire department and the police department at risk.
The governor's proposal will take effect Oct. 1. However, the governor will reinstate funding to the local and state government if voters do not pass the three proposals.

Poll: Final Fantasy XIII...You must be logged in to vote.
yesterday i finally beat the game after only 60 hours playtime considering the first half of the game which rather is a looong tutorial than a real part of the game.
i admit that i had doubts about the battle system but after a couple of hours it really liked it but its nothing compared to clbumical turn-based battlesystem imo!
i was more disappointed than pleased by the game, even though it had quite good parts in the second half… Log in to see images!
after the twelfth and now the thirteenth title of the final fantasy series i think square enix really made bad mistakes in important parts of the game be it the leveling- or battlesystem!

Square-Enix seems to have a double strategy: While the Dragon Quest series hasn't changed much from Super Nintendo over Playstation to Playstation 2, Final Fantasy became more and more a Western style RPG. First, they took away huge parts of the fantasy and replaced it with technology, then they got rid of the clbumical gameplay, just to become more Western-oriented. Finally, the Kojima-Syndrome: cinematic sequences, even more CGI movies, storytelling with in-game graphics, less actual playing.
If the game had a different name, no chocobos a slightly different overall design, you couldn't tell it was a Final Fantasy game. I mean, bestias/aeons transforming into a motorbike? Game over if your main character in the party dies? No shops/cities to discover?
I can't wait for Dragon Quest X Log in to see images!

Maple Roasted Pumpkin Salad (Adapted from Body and Soul)
1 sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cut in 1 1/2" chunks
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 un-peeled garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 ounces baby spinach
10 ounces arugula
6 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup pepitas, toasted
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a medium bowl, add pumpkin pieces and toss with 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, red pepper - season with salt and pepper to taste. Scoop the mixture onto a large baking sheet and spread to an even layer - roast, tossing occasionally, until pumpkin is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
Carefully remove garlic cloves from the baking sheet and set aside. Drizzle pumpkin mixture with 2 tablespoons maple syrup and toss well to coat. Return to the oven and continue roasting, tossing occasionally, until pumpkin is glazed, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, squeeze out the garlic from their peels and mash to a paste. Place in a large bowl and whisk in lime juice, mustard and remaining maple syrup - season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle oil in a steady stream while whisking constantly.
Add spinach, arugula and tender pumpkin - toss gently to combine. Serve with a sprinkles of the crumbled feta and toasted pepitas.
Makes about 4 servings.

my 68 Camaro turn signals are driving me nuts, here are the symptoms-rear turn signal (not rear side marker lights) work fine, unless the headlights are on, then they do not work-Side marker lights do not work, unless headlights are on, then they light up solid.-Right turn signal, you can hear at accelerated pace with headlights off, normal pace with lights on. Left turn signal, normal pace with lights off, no pulse at all with lights onJust fixed a few other headlight/highbeam problems, so if you read this post earlier and it is different not, I have updated. Thank you for the help.
I have always found grounds to cause some crazy problems. The first thing I would check is the grounds on all associated lights. Then get a wiring diagram. The blinker light that is flashing quickly is usually due to one of the lights not working causing improper load.Check with Waynep712222 he is up on diagrams and wiring.
I am sure it is a ground as well, I was just curious if the symptoms can point to where the ground problem is, or if a problem anywhere in the system can cause this.
Hi there, The more grounds from body to Chassis the better. I learnt this from one of the WORST cars for electrics EVER made bar none..Early model Jaguars.. The Prince of Darkness!!!!!! Good luck..Skyeking..
As a test I would run a ground directly from the battery negative to the problem light.
grounds grounds grounds....take some 14 , 16 or 18 gauge wire and strip back several inches.. of a several foot long section...pull the bulb from the socket... twist the wire around the top of the brass shell at the base of the globe of the bulb..twist the bulb to tighten the twisted loop.... stick the bulb back into the socket... many gm sockets have a place you might be able to thread the wire thru .. then hook the end of this new ground wire to a good ground... do each bulb... your tail, brake and back up lights will now work normally..the shell of the bulb needs to be grounded as its connected to one end of both filaments.. if the ground is bad.. electrons that flow from the negative side will have to come the LONG way thru the other side of the cars ground.. via the tail light filaments.. when there is positive current flowing.. oops.. no room for negative electrons.. so the ground connection is lost..want to try something neat... disconnect the ground wire on the side marker lights.... move it over to the brake light or turn signal wire on that side..the side marker lights will now come on as normal with the parking or tail lights.. but will also flash out of sequence with the turn signal lights... like newer cars you can also... check with a set of jumper cables up front...hook both clamps on one end to the negative battery post..one on the other end to the engine block and the last one to the body somehow.. this duplicates the negative side of the battery cables that supply electrons on the negative side to the body... if your cables are separated...one from the negative battery to the engine block.. the other from the engine block to something like the master cylinder.. that should fix it for testing..i have a voltage drop test that you could run in a few minutes if you have a digital volt meter..
"twist the wire around the top of the brass shell at the base of the globe of the bulb"what bulbs are you referring to? the parking light bulbs? Will this also affect the side marker lights? Yes I have a voltage meter, but no idea how to use it.
i will post a picture tomorrow afternoon or early evening.. the round glass shape of the 1157 tail light /turn signal bulb... where the glass gets narrow and the brass shell coming up to meet it..this is where you twist the loop of wire.. twist the bulb to snug the loop up tight to the top of the brass shell...your option to place a small solder joint on it..stick the end of this wire either thru a hole in the plastic part of the socket.. or out the side.. you may have to be creative.. once the tail lights bulbs and sockets are reinstalled.. put a ring terminal on the ends of the new wires and bolt them down to a good ground...see the opening at the 8 o clock position.. thats a great spot to put the new ground wire..this is a current replacement socket.. and they blow big time.. really bad...since this is whats available.. i recommend that you repair what you have with additional ground wires.. whats wrong with these china versions.. see the 2 metal tabs.. they are made of thin tin metal.. the tabs are TOO SHORT.. they cannot latch properly into the tail light housing. they fit like this. _______/ \______ when the should fit like this ______( )_______ there is NO WAY to fix them... i have tried.. this is the over 20 buck opgi version.. i still wonder as the retaining tabs still look thin and short.. i have not had one of these in my hand yet.. i do plan on picking up at least a pair for a friends car.. the end of the tabs should be below the flange surface. so they cannot capture the housing .. the curved areas hold the socket in the housing and make the ground..all later model cars use 3 wire sockets.. but won't retrofit to the early housings easily.. and may have the incorrect focal length/height of the filaments above the mounting flange.. remember we are working with optics.. do your reading glasses work properly when they have slipped to your the tip of your nose.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the side marker light was an additional idea... after you finish the tail light bulbs..having side marker bulbs that flash when the turn signals operate is a cool feature used on later cars..and will blow other people away when they see it and know that first gen cars did not flash like that..
Wait, those side marker lights are NOT turn signals?
perhaps this will explain it better...ground the bulb shell with a loop of wire around the top of the brass base right at the bottom of the globe..
this is a conventional way of wiring tail, stop / turn lights with side marker bulbs..this the tail light/turn signal/stop bulbs are grounded thru the shell of the bulb and then the socket.. then either to the tail light housing or to a third wire
this is what i was talking about... just in case i was correct and you got it all working...cutting the ground wire connection to the side marker lights...hooking each bulb to the turn/stop light on that side..wait.. how does the side marker lights get grounded if they are hooked to the turn signal wire and the tail light wire...when the tail lights are OFF.. and the turn signal comes on.. the circuit is completed thru the brown wire thru tail light filament to the shell of the brake light bulb.. when the tail lights are on only.. the circuit works the other way.. the voltage is higher on the brown wire and the side marker bulb is grounded thru the yellow or green wire then the filament and then to the shell of the bulb.. now.. guess what.. when the tail lights are on.. and you operate the turn signal on that side...when there is power on both the tail light wire and the turn signal wires.. there is no electron flow thru the bulb and it goes dark...thats why it flashes out of phase on newer cars...
I really thought those side markers were turn signals, I have a lot fewer problems then I thought I did.

I had an interview earlier this week. An interview for a SQL developer position. It went fine. But. Question number X in the initial tech screen was, and I quote:
"What are magic tables?"
……I'm sorry, what?
No, really. "What are magic tables?"
Uhm. There's no such thing.
Oh, yes there are! This is my favorite question.
There's no such thing in SQL Server. I'll put it this way: The term "magic table" is nowhere in the official product documentation, and I've never seen it written anywhere else personally.
To cut to the chase, the answer they where looking for was "The inserted and deleted tables". "Magic tables" is apparently .NETspeak for "inserted and deleted tables". Let me be clear here: I am firmly against the use of the this term for the inserted and deleted tables….unless you're being ironic.
Inserted and Deleted (NOT magic) Tables
The Inserted and Deleted tables aren't magic. They're a feature, just like anything else in SQL.
- After INSERT or UPDATE a table, the Inserted table is created (behind the scenes), and holds copies of the records that were inserted or updated after the fact.
- After UPDATE or DELETE, the Deleted table is created (behind the scenes), and holds copies of the records that were updated or deleted (as they were before the UPDATE or DELETE).
Facts about Inserted and Deleted tables:
SQL Server creates and manages them.
They live in memory.
These tables are temporary, and only accessible from the statement that created them.
They are not magic.
Rather than read Books Online to you, I will just direct you to the official article, Using the Inserted and Deleted Tables. Also see Using the Inserted and Deleted Tables Outside of a Trigger on SQLServerPedia.com, and SQL Server BOL: OUTPUT Clause.
THIS is a magic table:
Happy days,
Jen McCown

text: UMW News BureauUnited States Fish and Wildlife Service veteran and elk expert Bruce Smith will discuss Wyoming's National Elk Refuge at the next installment of the University of Montana Western's On the Rocks science speaker series, Monday, Oct. 5, 2009. United States Fish and Wildlife Service veteran and elk expert Bruce Smith will discuss Wyoming's National Elk Refuge at the next installment of the University of Montana Western's On the Rocks science speaker series, Monday, Oct. 5, 2009. Smith, who holds a B.S. and an M.S. in wildlife biology from the University of Montana as well as a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Wyoming, spent 22 years as the wildlife management biologist at the National Elk Refuge in Wyoming. His presentation, "The Jackson Hole Elk: Too Much of a Good Thing?," will discuss the history of the nation's first elk refuge, the ecological and economic impacts of the elk and the challenges of managing the herd. An agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of Wyoming calls for a winter population of 7,500 elk on the 25,000-acre National Elk Refuge. However, Smith contends that number exceeds the habitat's natural carrying capacity and negatively impacts plant and other wildlife communities. Still, thousands of elk, sustained by winter feeding, have become part of Jackson Hole culture. Smith says the herd is an important economic engine for Jackson Hole, but the size of the herd and the threat of disease spreading throughout so many animals in one area is of major concern. "It speaks in a way to the drama this elk herd adds to that part of the world," Smith says. "It's a wildlife spectacle you can't see in many other places in the lower 48 states. It has a very deep-seated appeal to people. But because the elk herd is so large, there are ecological consequences that probably make the current management strategy unsustainable." Smith is the author of over 40 technical and popular papers and book chapters dealing primarily with wildlife population dynamics, habitat management, disease ecology, and predator-prey relationships. His book, "Imperfect Pasture," chronicles the National Elk Refuge's 100-year history. His upcoming book, "Wildlife on the Wind," describes restoration of wildlife populations on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. Smith's On the Rocks presentation will be on Monday, Oct. 5, 2009 at 4 p.m. in Montana Western's Block Hall, Room 311.

**Write a function that takes in a 2 dimensional array of integers and returns the third largest
number. Let the number of columns of your 2 dimensional array be 5. Call this function from
the main program with 2 different arrays to show that it works.
Ive tried to make sense of it and create a code but i am not sure how to call the function in the main function. i tried to create a variable int a[][5], which gave me an error saying that that the first bracket can't be empty. He doesn't specify the number of rows, so should it be 1, by default?
I am trying to understand a function he used in class as example. This was a code to find the second maximum class
which is
int SecondMax2D(int a[][5], int rows) { int max1; int max2; if (a[0][0]>a[0][1]) { max1= a[0][0]; max2=a[0][1]; } else { max1=a[0][1]; max2=a[0][0]; } for (int row=0; row<rows; row++) { for (int col=0; col<10; col++) { if(row = = 0 && (col == 0 || col ==1)) continue; if (a[row][col]> max1) { max2=max1; max1=a[row][col]; } else if (a[row][col]>max2) max2=a[row][col]; } } return max2; }
I am not quite sure what int rows is supposed to be. isnt a[] supposed to be the number of rows?
If wanted to call this function in the main function, how would i do it?
int main() { SecondMax2d(__, ___,___) // If he gives a question(similar to the one above) where he says it should have 10 columns, without specifying rows, i am not sure what's supposed to go in the first blank, and the last, which is supposed to be int rows. system("pause"); return 0; }
Thanks for your help

The Westfield Historian took a much needed vacation to Maryland to visit a friend not seen for over 40 years and his wife, a Celtic fiddler. Knowing my love of historical stuff, we visited historic St. Mary's City, established in 1634 by Lord Baltimore's colony. St. Mary's City was the first capital of Maryland, the fourth permanent settlement in British North America and also the first place to mandate religious toleration.
After 60 years, the town all but disappeared from most maps, but is now a National Historic Landmark, one of America's best-preserved colonial archeology sites. Outdoor exhibits include the State House of 1676, the Brick Chapel, the oldest still standing barn in Maryland, a tobacco plantation, a reconstructed "Maryland Dove" square-rigged 17th century ship and an Indian hamlet depicting how Maryland's native population interacted with English colonists. Re-enactors are met throughout the grounds doing what the colonists would have been doing, explaining things and answering any questions.
Later that afternoon, on our way back to a Summer Solstice party, we stopped briefly at another park museum so my host could purchase a copy of "My American Century - The Memoirs of Mary Marvin Breckinridge Patterson." He commented he had seen and skim-read the book while his wife was at this site for a fiddler's contest, it was fascinating reading and Mary M. B. Patterson was descended from B. F. Goodrich, who was born in Ripley, N.Y. Of course, the book became my reading material for the duration of the visit and ended up coming home with me as a gift.
Article Photos
Submitted photo
This old photo shows Spencer House and the carriage house as it may have looked when Dr. John Spencer was teaching medicine to B. F. Goodrich in the late 1850s.
In the introduction, Patterson gives an overview of her life, including her marriage in 1940 to Jefferson Patterson, a U.S. diplomat, and that their two families were somewhat similar, both being children of privilege and wealth. On page 9, she writes, "His father and uncle had founded the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio. My maternal grandfather, B.F. Goodrich, founded a rubber company in Akron, Ohio in 1871 after careers as a surgeon and inventor. His father had been born a hundred years earlier in Ripley, New York."
In Chapter One - My Family, there is detailed, historical background, including that her maternal grandmother, Mary Marvin Goodrich - Mrs. B.F. Goodrich - had moved from Akron, Ohio to Cambridge, Mass., immediately after B.F Goodrich had died in 1888. Patterson writes, starting on page 16, "I regret that I did not know my grandfather... He was doctor, inventor, entrepreneur, and a Victorian gentleman... born in 1841, orphaned when he was eight years old, and shuttled from one relative to another. When he was 17, he took up the study of medicine with a cousin in Westfield, New York..." Whoa. This requires more research.
In her Ripley Chronicles column in the North East Breeze of Nov. 24, 1981, the late Marie B. McCutcheon, former Town of Ripley Historian, provided some help. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich was born Nov. 4, 1841, in a small farmhouse on West Main Road, Ripley N.Y., son of Anson and Susan Dinsmore Goodrich, grandson of pioneer Gideon Goodrich, and when orphaned at about age 7 or 8, was sent to live with an aunt and uncle in Westfield.
Census records on Ancestry.com and Internet biographical histories and genealogies provided further clues. Gideon Goodrich had nine sons and one daughter. The third son, Anson, was born in 1792 and married Susan Dinsmore. Gideon and Eunice Warner Goodrich's only daughter, Harriet, born in 1790, married Dr. Silas Spencer of Westfield, N.Y. Aunt Harriet and Uncle Silas Spencer are the relatives to whom Benjamin was sent to live. Uncle Silas was a physician, but it was his son, Dr. John Spencer, who taught Benjamin part of what he needed to know to become a doctor. B.F. Goodrich graduated from Cleveland Medical College in 1861 and became a surgeon in the Civil War. He practiced medicine in Mayville, N.Y., before the war and in Jamestown after the war, but then became involved in oil drilling and in real estate before turning to manufacturing rubber products.
So B.F. Goodrich was a cousin of Dr. John Spencer, who had the Spencer House built, which later became the first Westfield Memorial Hospital, and the Spencer Block at the corner of North Portage and East Main which had a corner drug store for nearly a century. What a treasure-trove of local history came out of a trip to Maryland.
The office of the Westfield Historian is located at 117 Union St., in the small green building on the north side of driveway. Office hours are by appointment; call or email a request. The Westfield Historian phone number is 326-2457 and email address is

There weren't any complaints regarding the record heat or the smoky haze that's blanketing Ashland.
Apparently, the Southern Oregon University women's volleyball team was just happy to be back on the court.
Nine months after their 2013 season came to an end the Raiders kicked off the start of the 2014 fall sports season locally with a two-hour practice Friday at Ashland Middle School.
While the other local college and high school athletes who participate in a fall sport were still clinging to their last few weeks of summer — and possibly sleeping in —the SOU volleyballers took the court at 9 a.m. for a loose but spirited scrimmage.
The goal on Day 1, says SOU head coach Josh Rohlfing, is simply to have fun. The 17 Raiders — 16 roster players plus one recent addition — who gathered in the main gym spent the majority of the offseason improving their bodies and sharpening their skills. So rather than cracking open the playbook, Rohlfing on Friday let his players do what they love.
"Tomorrow's when it really starts in terms of drilling and skills, specific technical stuff," he said. "They'll get all that stuff tomorrow. Today was more, let's get out, let's play, let's have that excitement. Because the worst thing you can do I think is have them come in that first day and then just stand around and teach them a bunch of things. They're excited to play, so let's let them play."
"It's fun to finally get all of us, especially the newbies, and to play volleyball again," said senior libero Brookelynn Cole, one of the favorites to replace recent graduate and 2013 Cascade Conference libero of the year Renee Yomtob. "It's just fun playing and running and everything, all the other stuff. So we're really excited and we have a really good team, a real strong team, and a very deep team in all positions. There's no starting spots right now so everyone's fighting for their spots, which is also exciting."
And while Southern Oregon's deep roster promises plenty of position battles in the near future, Friday's practice was all about building upon the team chemistry that the Raiders say is already rock solid. That's because most of the players have been working out and playing together since a week after their 2013 season ended in the CCC semis last November.
The long offseason began in earnest in January, when each player was set up with a specialized weight-training program. After that came about two weeks worth of individual workouts by position. Then, the Raiders played an abbreviated spring schedule, taking on NCAA Division I foe Oregon State and Division II program Western Oregon.
After that, it was back to the weight room and Bob Riehm Arena for open gym volleyball. Though the summer scrimmages on Tuesday and Thursday nights are voluntary, Rohlfing said no less than 10 Raiders showed up each night, a number he was very pleased with.
"And it's on their dime," he marveled. "That's unbelievable."
It's also helpful, says senior outside hitter Paulla Pinheiro, a returning Cascade Conference all-star.
"I feel really excited about this year because this year most of us stayed during the summer and worked out," she said. "I feel like we're way better prepared for this year than we were last year. Our first practice so far came out really strong, way stronger than last year. That's pretty exciting."
"With any team that you're playing for, if you're not cohesive and you're not on the same page it's really hard to get a flow going," Cole added. "If one thing happens and we're not on the same page, everyone's kind of like, 'Uhhh, where do we go, what are we doing.' So it's really important to have good team chemistry, to know who can do what, our strengths and our weaknesses."
Cole said SOU already has that part of its game humming.
"Chemistry's never a problem for us," she said. "We all hang out during the offseason, we're all each other's best friends, so it's not a big deal. We are with each other all the time and we love that. It's not forced at all."
The Raiders open their season Aug. 21 against California State-San Marcos at the Biola Invitational in La Mirada, Calif.

My dad, who's in his mid-80's and wheelchair-bound, still insists on doing his own yard work. One day last summer, he was outside cutting up a fallen tree limb when a woman driving past pulled over. She told my dad that she was amazed to see a man in a wheelchair using a chainsaw. The two of them spent a few minutes chatting before she left. Twenty minutes later she returned with her husband and teenage son in tow, all wearing work clothes. The family, whom my dad had never met, spent the next three hours helping him in the yard.

Thanks to Christian Belt of WoW Insider, The Daily Blink webcomic and the WoW forums from whom we drew some inspiration for this machinima. Please note that if you don't play a mage or a warlock you probably won't find this as entertaining as you would if you did.
This video might feel a little rough to some folks, but hold out until the end. It's all building up to a punch line. That punch line does kind of put our relationship with our raid frenemies in a humorous light, so it's all for a good cause. My hat's off to Swathe Productions for another fun video. I'm obviously a huge fan.

When the Earth convulsed this Republic Day, the soul of one of India�s most prosperous states was buried under a heap of rubble. Not a corner of the country is untouched by the tragedy of Gujarat.
No compensation is enough, but we, in however small a way, must share the burden of rebuilding the lives shattered in Gujarat.
