The official start of summer is almost here, but I'm sure you've already experienced some rather warm days or downright scorchers…I know I have! Here in Portland, we had two 100 degree days last weekend sandwiched between a couple 90-92 degree days. "Unseasonably hot" is an understatement to explain those early June temperatures But as they always say, the run must go on!
I have a marathon coming up in July–still trying to decide between two: Foot Traffic Flat or The Oregon Marathon–and there's no time to waste! My training period is shorter than I'd like to be by at least 4 weeks so I have had to take advantage of every opportunity to run that there has been.
When it was 100 degrees, as previously mentioned, this mentality didn't shift. Of course, the planned mileage was altered and I didn't run for 13 or so miles in 2 hours in 95 degrees, but I did run for 10 miles which took almost two hours due to stopping several times to cool down. I had two bottles with me–one was for drinking and so it had an electrolyte tablet in it, and the other was to use on me to cool me down when by body was heating up…man did that help! I remember when my mom was out for a run one time a few years ago and it was 90 degrees and humid back in New Jersey at the time. You were dripping sweat just from walking to your car. Well, she got lightheaded and dizzy after about 2 or 3 miles and called me to pick her up and I'll never forget the sound of her voice. She knew she was hot and thirsty which she has experienced, but she was actually afraid something was wrong with her because she had never felt like this way before. Luckily I picked her up and she had been standing in the shade to cool off and she was completely fine, but my heart was racing the whole drive to get her.
Please, please, please…Do not underestimate the sun and the heat. It can be very dangerous to do so and the danger can really sneak up on you. I'm not saying don't run or be outside; just be well-prepared. And hydration is an important part of that preparation.
Here are my 5 ways to stay hydrated before and during a run:
Small Bottle
I use amphipod bottles because I like the way they feel in my hand. They are ergonomically designed which makes them, for me, easier to hold which is important because you don't want to run with any sort of added stress or discomfort other than what may be in your head. This small bottle pictured above is 10 oz and I use it on warm to mildly hot days of mileage anywhere from 8 miles to 14 miles. I have two of them so if I need one to be a water squirting bottle, the other can be my hydration bottle. It's perfect. Nuun is my electrolye of choice but 16 oz is ideal for a whole tablet and so I only use half a tablet when I use these smaller bottles. It's a tad lighter since 10 oz is more than 8 oz, but it's still drinkable and I'm not doing it for flavor anyway!
Large Bottle
This larger 20 oz Amphipod bottle is probably one of my best running investments. I'll use the larger bottle for anything over 15 miles or 2 hours of running in temps ranging from warm to hot. It took some time to get used to running with over a pound in your hand, but I got used to it quickly. The design of the amphipod bottle really helps here. I have two of these bottles and I've used both on a run with the same purpose as stated above. I am contemplating using two bottles for the July marathon as one 20 oz bottle proved to not be enough during my last marathon. You may not like the idea of holding a bottle while you run–although I promise you that you will likely get used to it–and so there is another option you may prefer.
Bladder pack or pack with pockets
A bladder pack allows you to run with a lightweight, running-specific pack with a water bladder inside and a straw that connects to it. This can be a heavier option depending on the pack you choose and how much water you put in it, but it can be a life-saver for those who run long, in very hot temperatures, and/or those who sweat a lot. When I was training for my first ultramarathon, I was running with a walking-pack with a bladder (not meant for running and so it was on the heavier side) but I realized that I prefer a lighter pack that can maybe hold a bottle in the pack and free up my hands for an additional bottle or two. The Nathan pack pictured above is super lightweight and doesn't offer much for carrying purposes, but it has two pockets which are great for my cell and for my 10 oz bottle. That way, I can run without anything in my hands, or I can hold another bottle. Also, there is enough room for keys and/or gels or dates if you desire the calories on the run.
Bottle Stash!
Another option is to hide your bottles of water or hydration beverage along your running route. This option requires a bit more time to place your bottles (depending on your route), but can be pretty convenient if you really don't like running while holding anything whether it be on your back or in your hands. You can stash a bottle in a bush somewhere or behind a tree that stands out. If you are running on a looped route near your home, an option is to leave a bottle on your porch or maybe your mailbox. I haven't done this before as I don't mind holding anything, but it's definitely a good option for staying hydrated during the run.
Hydrate Before
And I've saved the most important for last! You can plan to down two 20 oz bottles during your weekend long run, but if you haven't hydrated or are actually dehydrated from the beginning, those 40 oz will likely not prevent you from feeling the effects of poor hydration. Muscle cramps. Tiring. Slow paces. Increased effort to run. Fuzziness or dizziness. It's all possible when you're dehydrated from the start. Throughout the week you should obviously be drinking plenty of water, but it's important to be getting all of your electrolytes through proper nutrition as well. Fruits and plenty of vegetables are great for this, but make sure your sodium intake is good as well especially if you will be running in the heat often and even more especially if you are a heavy sweater. To help with my hydration and electrolyte intake, I try to always have coconut water (my favorite is C2O) waiting for me in the fridge to help out with my potassium and sodium (not high in sodium though) levels.
There you have it! Five options for staying hydrated before and during your summer running (and even your fall, winter, and spring running).
Run smart. Run Happy.

From the Chairman
September 2017
Sadly, Women Veterans are often overlooked in our nation even though they now comprise 10 percent of all US Veterans. The Department of Veteran Affairs reported the total US Veteran population was 21,368,156 as of September 30, 2016 with Women Veterans numbering 2,051,484. The Sunshine State ranks third in the nation with 154,820 Women Veterans calling Florida home.
A study performed by the Disabled American Veterans reported that the organizations and government agencies in charge of providing support for female veterans usually fail to understand the unique needs that women may have after being in the service and going through deployments. According to the National Veteran Foundation, the current support system for veterans was designed by and is still dominated by men. The mental, physical, and military service needs of women are often very different from those of male veterans. Homelessness is another area where our Women Veterans struggle more than males. Since 2006, the number of women veterans who are homeless has more than doubled. Often these veterans are single parents with children who are negatively impacted by the lack of available services for women. Women Veterans also face a tendency for higher rates of unemployment than male veterans and even higher rates than women who have not served in the military. Many Women Veterans are still unaware they are eligible for the full range of federal and state benefits, to include special programs for women.
Our Women Veterans deserve much better options while they serve in our military as well as after they come home. They deserve equal treatment opportunities and care that is gender specific. The current practice of trying to adapt medical and mental health treatments designed for men to work with women is no longer an option. New practices must be created so that Women Veterans are properly cared for in every aspect, with gender specific treatment options and devices. It is necessary to increase access to support groups specifically designed for women facing issues with, PTSD and Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and homelessness.
Those who choose not to be part of the solution become part of the problem. Your Department of Florida Women Veterans Chairman will be a motivating influence for these government and community based systems to adapt to the needs of our Women Veteran population; and actively ensure adequate services and timely information regarding programs and benefits for Women Veterans become readily available. The American Legion, Department of Florida will be an active voice in making a positive impact in our communities to overcome disparities while inspiring changes still necessary to accomplish the vital mission of properly caring for women who serve.

(AP) Biden: China air zone raises risk of accidents
By JOSH LEDERMAN
Associated Press
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden voiced strong opposition Tuesday to China's new air defense zone above a set of disputed islands, showing a united front with an anxious Japan as tension in the region simmered.
Standing side by side in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Biden said the U.S. is "deeply concerned" about China's attempt to unilaterally change the status quo in the East China Sea.
Biden said the U.S. is coordinating closely with allies Japan, South Korea and others, adding that the U.S. has an interest in lowering tensions in the region.
Biden's remarks came as Japan is pressing the U.S. to more actively take Japan's side in an escalating dispute over China's new air defense zone above a set of contested islands in the East China Sea.
The U.S. and Japan have refused to recognize China's air defense zone above tiny islands that China and Japan both claim. The U.S. and its allies are concerned China's move is part of a broader strategy to assert increasing authority in the region.
Abe, who met with Biden at the prime minister's residence here Tuesday, said he and Biden confirmed that neither country would tolerate the attempt to change the status quo by force. He invoked Japan's decades-long alliance with the U.S. in pledging the two would work closely to deal with the situation.
At the same time, Abe tried to smooth over a minor rift that emerged between the U.S. and Japan as Biden headed to the region over whether commercial airlines should comply with China's demand that they file flight plans before flying through the zone. Japanese leaders were concerned after word came that the U.S. was advising American carriers, in line with existing protocol, to comply with such requests from foreign governments.

Movies >> Blu-Ray >> Special Interest
From draft-dodging to the Dayton Accords, from Monica Lewinsky to a balanced budget, the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton veered between sordid scandal and grand achievement. In "Clinton," AMERICAN EXPERIENCE explores the fascinating story of an American president who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history. Featuring unprecedented access to scores of Clinton insiders, including White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers, White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, and Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes, as well as interviews with foreign leaders, members of the Republican opposition, childhood friends, staffers from Clinton's years as governor of Arkansas, biographers, and journalists, "Clinton" explores how the man's conflicted character made history, even as it enraged his enemies and confounded his friends.

Wild Horses
Wild horses have been roaming the Outer Banks for hundreds of years. When I visited the Outer Banks in June, my friends and I wanted to take photos of the horses near Corolla (saying 'shooting horses' just doesn't sound right, even if I'm talking about using a camera) but weren't sure how hard it would be to find them. Not to worry, we hadn't traveled too far up the beach before we began seeing horses at the top of the dunes. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did taking it.

Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources," former "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather criticized the media coverage of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by claiming no reporters, with the exception of CNN's Jake Tapper, have asked Trump tough or follow-up questions.
Rather said, "Well again, what's disappointed me most is the lack of tough questions and follow-up questions."
He continued, "Well, he handles tough questions by doing the old side shuffle most of the time. With rare exceptions, I give Jake Tapper credit here at CNN, nobody bores in and keeps asking the tough questions. The other thing that's disappointed me a bit, and I think there's been some media complicity in the rise of Trump. It's not the only factor, but it has been a factor of providing him so much air time, and in some cases being complicit in arranging that air time. So there's some serious questions. For the news viewer, for the consumer of news, I think never more has it been necessary to deal with skepticism, never cynicism but skepticism. Okay, Trump is on for an hour and a half on this network. Why is he there? The answer, of course, is because he's very good for ratings and very good for demographics."

|Activemq 5.9 leveldb replication problem
|Tue, 02 Jul 2013 07:42:37 GMT
I'm trying to setup a replicated LevelDB Store (following the instruction on http://activemq.apache.org/replicated-leveldb-store.html). The version i'm using of activemq is 5.9 snapshot (20130609.215120-72). I've setup 3 zookeeper servers and 4 activemq servers (3 replica nodes so that I can take one down without suffering a service outage) using the following configuration for each one (all broker have the same name): <persistenceAdapter> <replicatedLevelDB directory="${activemq.data}" replicas="3" hostname="192.168.56.110" //192.168.56.111, 192.168.56.112, 192.168.56.113 bind="tcp://0.0.0.0:61619" zkAddress="192.168.56.102:2181,192.168.56.103:2181,192.168.56.104:2181" zkPath="/activemq/leveldb-stores" /> </persistenceAdapter> The server run smooth, if I take down the master one replica will come up, so far, so good. The problem arise when I create a queue and put some messages in the server. The data will not propagate to the slaves, so if I take down (activemq stop using wrapper) the server where i have created the queue and the messages, one slave come up but without the master queue/messages. I've also try the same configuration, with the options "sync" with value quorum_disk, to be sure that any changes will be written in local disk and remote disk, but no lucky. I'm wrong with some configuration? I can't figure it out, any help will be appreciated. Thanks! --Stefano -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Activemq-5-9-leveldb-replication-problem-tp4668775.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It is not too long I came to know the meaning of Monetizing into Myanmar. It is generating revenue or money. So let's talk about monetizing digital content in Myanmar. Are you a website owner or a blogger? How do you monetize from your product? Here, in Myanmar, the strategy we are doing is Display advertising. Let's talk by sub categories.
Putting all content on a platform and give the room for advertisers
It is what we are doing the most in Myanmar. We build a platform like website, blog, mobile app, etc. Then we publish all content on it and then we invite advertisers to advertise on your platform in terms of display advertising, video advertising and content advertising.
Display Advertising: We upload content on a platform such as on a website or into mobile application. Then we put a small display banner. It depends on you. But don't ever give the banner bigger place on the website and app or which will ruin your product's image. Just make it small and put it into right place not to interrupt visitor's reading. It is generating money by adding banners for business.
Video advertising: Video content advertising is not quiet popular. The problem is internet connection problem. Don't worry. The content can be uploaded on somewhere like YouTube or Vemo. Just embed the content and put the link into your website. The video would be shown in your website. It also save your server's memory space. Video content wouldn't work very well in mobile apps in Myanmar. It is also generating money by adding videos of business.
Content advertising (content marketing): You write articles about a product of your client. Then you publish it onto your websites and send email to website subscribers. Sending email is email marketing. Such kind of marketing method also needs your article and your content in digital format. Here some business asked you what kind of content they would like to put on your website sometimes because they may be doing it for search engine optimizing purpose. But when doing for product awareness, not much technical don'ts are not needed to consider. There are rules to write the content in Myanmar. There is the culture diversity between Myanmar and other country. The content must be relevent with Myanmar.
Content selling
That's what only few people in Myanmar are doing. They don't build a website (or they may have), but they sell the content articles and other digital content to other companies. It is like B2B business. They provide the content. Mostly in Myanmar, freelancers are doing it. Monetizing from photos, graphic design, animations and video are becoming the easiest way. There are many local graphic design service companies in Myanmar. But the problem they are facing is the price. In local market, the price for digital image and design are still low when comparing with other countries. But later, it will be solved automatically because global companies are entering Myanmar.
What is your vision?
You have two choice; putting all of your content on your own platforms and then getting banner advertisements, and selling the content. Content is not all about articles. If your digital content is graphic design and other visual images, you better sell it, instead of keeping it on your websites and mobile apps.
How to do content business
You can create yourself and group creators in a place and make a business. However as it is a digital product, you must have a website. If the content is articles, you must have a blog at least. The challenge in Myanmar is content business is not developing too much. Businesses also don't think they would get big effect by advertising through websites and mobile apps. Yes. It may be true for this time. As the population of internet user is not too much. But for future growth you must be ready. Right now is the good time to start creating own content in Myanmar. Don't copy other and monetize from it. It would become an illegal job in Myanmar one day. A great entrepreneur said 'Start your business now'.

Steve Coogan Brings His Alter Ego to the Big Screen in 'Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa' Trailer
Oh, those Brits. We know that our friends across the pond like their dry humor almost as much as they like their tea. And while you've probably seen English comedian Steve Coogan in movies such as Night at the Museum and Tropic Thunder, you may not be familiar with his most famous character, radio host Alan Partridge.
The incompetent DJ has been popular in the UK for over 20 years, starred in multiple radio and TV shows, and now he's getting his shot at the big screen. The full trailer has been released for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, which finds Alan trying to negotiate with his former coworker who has taken over the radio station after he gets fired. As you can see, Alan's not the most reliable person to handle such a delicate situation, but watching him try is pretty hilarious. The film hits theaters (or cinemas, as the Brits say) in the UK on Aug. 7.

Background and Benefits of Participation
The NJSO and Princeton University Department of Music are well positioned to provide emerging composers with a comprehensive Institute experience that will enhance their careers. Over years of reading sessions in which the NJSO has played through orchestral works written by Princeton University Ph.D. composition candidates, the Orchestra and its musicians are experienced in mentoring and advising student composers. Through the NJSO's commitment to presenting new music, the Orchestra has performed works not only by the late Princeton University professor and composer Edward T. Cone, but also by composers who felt the impact of Cone's legacy as a teacher.
Mackey—a lauded composer and William Schubael Conant Professor of Music at Princeton University—says:
"The NJSO has had a strong relationship with Princeton University composers for years, and we are excited to again partner with the Orchestra for this immersive composition institute. This program fosters emerging composing talent by preparing composers for both the creative and practical elements of composing works for orchestra."
By the end of the Institute, participants will have gained invaluable musical and practical feedback about writing for orchestra through real-time interactions with Mackey, Faletta and NJSO musicians as well as advice from decision makers in the industry about how to get their music published and performed.
Four composers chosen to participate in the Institute will participate in daily activities that will include:
- Rehearsals of their works, followed by small group gatherings with faculty and NJSO musicians to discuss applications and variations on the possible vs. the practical in composition.
- One-on-one and group coaching sessions with composer Steven Mackey.
- Sessions with industry leaders.
- Coaching on and the opportunity to refine personal presentation and networking skills.
- NJSO premiere of each composer's work presented by the NJSO at a public concert on July 15, 2017, at Richardson Auditorium at Princeton University.
- Access to video recordings of small-group gatherings.
Institute Director and Conductor Bios
Steven Mackey, Institute Director
Steven Mackey was born in 1956 to American parents stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. He is regarded as one of the leading composers of his generation and has composed for orchestra, chamber ensemble, dance and opera. His first musical passion was playing the electric guitar in rock bands based in northern California. He blazed a trail in the 1980s and 90s by including the electric guitar and vernacular music influence in his concert music, and he regularly performs his own works, including two electric guitar concertos and numerous solo and chamber works. He is also active as an improvising musician and performs with his band Big Farm.
Mackey's music has been performed by leading musical institutions throughout the world, including the Los Angeles, BBC and New York philharmonics; San Francisco and Chicago symphonies; Philadelphia and Concertgebeouw orchestras and Brentano, Kronos and Arditti string quartets, among others. He has received numerous awards, including a Grammy Award in 2012 for his album Lonely Motel: Music from Slide.
David Robertson, Conductor
David Robertson—conductor, artist, thinker and American musical visionary—occupies some of the most prominent platforms on the international music scene. A highly sought-after podium figure in the worlds of opera, orchestral music and new music, Robertson is celebrated worldwide as a champion of contemporary composers, an ingenious and adventurous programmer and a masterful communicator whose passionate advocacy for the art form is widely recognized. A consummate and deeply collaborative musician, Robertson is hailed for his intensely committed music making.
2017–18 is Robertson's valedictory season as music director of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and his fifth season as chief conductor and artistic director of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He has served as artistic leader to many musical institutions, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de Lyon, and, as a protégé of Pierre Boulez, the Ensemble Intercontemporain. He has frequent projects at the world's most prestigious opera houses, including The Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Bayerische Staatsoper, Théâtre du Châtelet, San Francisco Opera and more.
During his 13-year tenure with the SLSO, Robertson has solidified the orchestra's standing as one of the nation's most enduring and innovative. His established and fruitful relationships with artists across a wide spectrum is evidenced by the orchestra's ongoing collaboration with composer John Adams. The 2014 release of City Noir (Nonesuch Records)—comprising works by Adams performed by the SLSO with Robertson—won the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance. Robertson is the recipient of numerous musical and artistic awards; in 2010, he was made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
He is devoted to supporting young musicians and has worked with students at the festivals of Aspen, Tanglewood and Lucerne and at the Paris Conservatoire, the Juilliard School, Music Academy of the West and National Orchestra Institute. In 2014, he led the coast-to-coast US tour of the National Youth Orchestra of Carnegie Hall.
About the Organizations
Princeton University Department of Music
Princeton's Department of Music is at the epicenter of a musical culture that is broad and deep, reaching from edge to edge of the campus, from the classroom to the concert hall, into the community and from faculty-led groups to those run exclusively by students.
New Jersey Symphony Orchestra
Named "a vital, artistically significant musical organization" by The Wall Street Journal, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra embodies that vitality through its statewide presence and critically acclaimed performances, education partnerships and unparalleled access to music and the Orchestra's superb musicians.
The NJSO welcomes new Music Director Xian Zhang in the 2016–17 season. The Orchestra presents classical, pops and family programs, as well as outdoor summer concerts and special events. Embracing its legacy as a statewide orchestra, the NJSO is the resident orchestra of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark and regularly performs at the State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick, Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown and bergenPAC in Englewood. Partnerships with New Jersey arts organizations, universities and civic organizations remain a key element of the Orchestra's statewide identity.
In addition to its lauded artistic programming, the NJSO presents a suite of education and community engagement (ECE) programs that promote meaningful, lifelong engagement with live music. Programs include school-time Concerts for Young People performances, NJSO Youth Orchestras family of student ensembles and El Sistema-inspired NJSO CHAMPS (Character, Achievement and Music Project). The NJSO's REACH (Resources for Education and Community Harmony) chamber music program annually brings original programs—designed and performed by NJSO musicians—to a variety of settings. In the 2015–16 season, REACH ensembles performed at nearly 200 events, and ECE programs served more than 66,000 New Jerseyans in nearly 21 counties.
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra's programs are made possible in part by The New Jersey State Council on the Arts, along with many other foundations, corporations and individual donors.
Major underwriting support for The NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute is generously provided by The Edward T. Cone Foundation and Princeton University.

Forget what you read from sportswriters: the Sooners had clinched the Big 12 South division title Friday afternoon with Texas's loss to Texas A&M, a victory that was not enough to save Dennis Franchione's job.
The rules for breaking a Big 12 divisional tie are ambiguous at best (leave it to the Big 12 to write confusing rules intended to clarify a situation), but presuming the first tie-breaking step, "The records of the three teams will be compared against each other," means that they'll compare the overall records of all tied teams, that would have immediately dropped OSU from consideration (had the
Aggies Cowboys won yesterday, they would still have been 7-5, while both OU and Texas would be 9-3). By rule, that drops OSU from consideration, leaving a two-way tie between OU and Texas, which OU would win because OU won the Red River Rivalry in October.
If the rule really means that they'd compare the three teams' records in playing each other, that would remain a tie (OU beat Texas, Texas beat OSU, and OSU would have theoretically beat OU or we wouldn't be doing this exercise). It would then stay tied through the fourth tie-breaking rule, "The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish – 4, 5 and 6." The fourth-place Big 12 South team (had OSU won yesterday) would have been Texas Tech. Texas and OSU both beat Texas Tech, but OU did not. By the same rule cited above, OU would then fall out of consideration, and Texas would win the tie-breaker with OSU. It would not have gotten as far as BCS rankings, the fifth tie-breaker, and no one who reads the tie-breaking procedure can possibly think it would have.
Fortunately, it didn't matter: the Sooners defeated the Cowboys 49-17, returning to the form that had previously kept them in BCS National Championship consideration. The Pride was hot on a cold day as well, providing the home debut of the new bright red uniform coats as seen in the Macy's Parade, and ending halftime by sharing the field with the Cowboy Marching Band in a Centennial-inspired rendition of Dr. Roland Barrett's arrangement of the state song from 1989 (for OU's centennial), You're Doin' Fine. (The OSU band also, wittingly or not, paid a little tribute to The Pride by opening with Roland's 2000 arrangement of Luck Be A Lady, written and performed during Coach's final season.)
NBC really did love feature twirler Meredith Sigler—we learned this weekend that the network's TV coverage people moved her to the position in front of the drumline, which was not the position in which she practiced, so they could feature her more prominently. There's really no question why, either: during the concert feature of Mambo from West Side Story, Meredith wowed the crowd from the north end zone by flawlessly twirling three batons that were each on fire at both ends. FSN may yet regret not showing halftime performances. Meredith repeated the feat during the post-game concert. It's easy to see why she's going for her third world twirling championship in 2008—good luck, Meredith!
The Sooners now travel to San Antonio for next week's Big 12 Championship, kicking off at 7:10 PM from the Alamo Dome on ABC-TV in high definition. This will likely be the toughest game the Sooners have faced in years: their opponent, the Big 12 North champion Missouri Tigers, already played OU hard this year in Norman and came up short. Many of you will remember this, since it was Homecoming 2007.
OU is Missouri's only loss this year, and with the victory over previously undefeated Kansas and LSU's second loss on Friday, Missouri will be at least #2 in this week's BCS rankings, and may be #1 (West Virginia will hold the slot that Missouri does not). Plus, for better or worse, the Sooners have not done well on the road this season.
If OU wins the Big 12 championship, the Sooners are in a BCS bowl—most likely the Fiesta Bowl, where the Big 12 Champion goes by default, but other bowls are possible, especially if Ohio State somehow makes it into the championship game. If the Sooners lose, the team may fall out of BCS at-large consideration. On the other hand, if Missouri wins their first-ever Big 12 championship, they will play for the National Championship. By the media's rules, even though the Sooners are playing for a BCS berth, OU will be cast as the "spoiler" to Missouri's national championship hopes.
There may be an opportunity to support The Pride at a public rehearsal in San Antonio on Saturday, December 1; we'll update our Events calendar if such information becomes available. We've made the Macy's Parade coverage into its own page so you can find the video more easily, too. The post-season destination is on the line Saturday night, and The Pride will do its best to boost the Sooners into the BCS. Cheer like a champion!

The Family Independence Office of the Department of Health and Human Services maintains the SNAP program, which is the food stamp benefits program for the entire state. In 2008, the federal government changed the "food stamp program" to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In accordance, Maine's program follows the same regulations and takes on the name of this federal program. Main's SNAP program is also called the Food Supplement Program. The aim of the program is to help low income households afford better food and healthy diets. With a monthly benefit package, families and individuals are able to provide healthy and nutritional meals for themselves and their family. Anyone can apply for food stamp benefits in Maine. However, there are some who are more likely going to receive benefits, such as possible who work for lower wages, are unemployed or only work part time, receive welfare or other public assistance, are elderly or disabled, or do not have a home. State public assistance runs the Food Supplement Program for the state. There are some basic rules that apply to food assistance aid and how it is administered to recipients. You can read more about the SNAP program and find numbers for Maine offices at the Family Independence website.
To apply for food stamps in Maine, you need to be a U.S. citizen and reside in Maine, but Maine is unique in that you do not have to fill out any forms. You simply need to visit a DHHS office in your county. However, you do need to bring certain information with you, such as identification, proof of income, proof of household and social security card. You will go through an interview with a representative at the DHHS office. Throughout the interview, you will answer some questions. The information will be entered into a computer. At the end of the interview, you will sign a completed application form that is printed from the compute. If you do an interview over the phone, you will receive a completed form in the mail. You can contact an office to complete an interview over the phone by looking at the index for District Office Locations in Maine. The information that you provide must be verified before you are able to receive any benefits. Another way to apply is by contacting an office and picking up a form the time that you visit. You can request a form by mail, phone or a family member may pick one up for you. You must also fill out the form entirely. You can call 1-800-442-6003 to find out more information and order a form to be mailed to your home.
To qualify for benefits, you must first be approved. If you do qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance, you will receive benefits no later than 30 days from the date that the office got your application. If your household has little or no money and needs assistance right away, you can let the office know and you may be eligible to receive benefits within 7 days of applying. After you have turned in the application, the SNAP office will contact you to set up the interview and explain all of the benefits available to you. You have to meet certain eligibility rules as far as citizenship and income to receive aid. Most aid is available to low-income households, for those who make under $2,000 with a household size of three or more. If you are a student, it is unlikely that you will receive aid. However, some college students are able to receive public assistance under a Title IV-A program or if they take part in a state or federally financed work study program, or work at least 20 hours per week. You can read more about resource and income limits by visiting the OFI Food Stamps website. If you are approved, you will receive a "Pine Tree Card" in the mail that you can use like cash at SNAP food retailers, such as grocery stores and super markets to purchase specific food items. The Pine Tree Card works like a debit card, and you will receive your monthly benefits the same time each month.
SNAP is the federal name for the food assistance programs. Every state has multiple SNAP locations. In fact, every county should have multiple locations where you can use your card. You can find specific locations near you using the SNAP retailer locator on the federal website. You can contact 1-800-442-600 to talk to a representative and find out more about locations near you, or you can find the nearest office location by clicking here.
Here's the full list of income limits in order to qualify for food stamps in the State of Maine as it pertains to number of persons living in the household:
1 $1,276
2 $1,726
3 $2,177
4 $2,628
5 $3,078

16 $8,038
17 $8,489
18 $8,940
19 $9,391
20 $9,842
Also known as SNAP (The Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program) in most states, the Food Supplement Program in Maine uses a system similar to a debit card that people can use to purchase food at participating grocery stores.
Yes. You do NOT need to be unemployed to receive the benefits from the Food Supplement Program. You also do NOT need to be on welfare, have children, be elderly or injured in order to receive food stamps in Maine.
The Pine Tree Card is the name Maine has chosen for their EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card. This is the card used to send benefits that can be used to purchase food at grocery stores.
With a Pine Tree Card you can purchase food at most grocery stores. The Food Supplement Program does NOT cover any non-food items such as tobacco and alcohol. It also does NOT cover items such as toothpaste, soap, sanitary papers or pet food.

Some students today may be confused with the structure of government. Maybe, they don't understand which branch controls what or who can assist in a certain situation. For example, instead of calling the county commisioner or state senator for a trash or recycling issue, you would instead call a city-level representative.
The Town Hall Meeting on October 28 in the Lane University Center Atkinson Room at 6 p.m. will be focused on how each branch of the local government interacts with students and residents. The event is free and open to the public. It serves to educate the students on how they can make a change with the democratic process as a tool.
This is just one of Patrick O'Brien's, Director of Civic Engagement's, expectations of the town meetings. O'Brien has been lending a helping hand in organizing these events. He has invited representatives from county, city and University officials to this assembly to teach students what each representative does at their corresponding level. The J. Glenn Beall Institute for Public Affairs and the Office of Civic Engagement are hosting the Town Hall meetings while the Student Government Organization sponsor and supports.
Following this meeting about local issues, there will be two more Town Hall meetings. The second meeting schedule for November 3 will focus on state government while the meeting on November 17 will focus on national government issues.
Ultimately, the goal of these meetings is to help students to have the ability to understand and utilize the democratic process as well as voice concern for certain problems in their community. These meetings will help students solve problems in their community by teaching them to seek help from the appropriate level of government.

Texas state Republican Executive Committee member Randall Dunning calls himself the "most hated man on Twitter" for boasting that he's working to help Ted Cruz grab delegates away from Donald Trump on the second ballot at the convention in Cleveland.
But Dunning tells Breitbart News that the process of "delegate marshaling" is sophisticated, democratic, and as old as Lincoln. And more importantly: Trump just doesn't know how to play the game.
"There is a ground game to this," Dunning said in a wide-ranging interview. "This is a very old process in the Republican Party."
"I have really not seen that," Dunning said, referring to any visible effort by the Trump campaign to lock up delegates in Texas in the event of a contested convention. "I was absolutely stunned that over a hundred people in my precinct voted for Trump but the only people who even bothered to show up to the precinct caucuses were Cruz people."
Dunning, who represents Texas Senate District 16 on the GOP's Executive Committee, attracted the scorn of Trump supporters when he revealed on Twitter that he's helping to pick Trump delegates in Texas who will switch over to Cruz if Trump does not reach 1,237 delegates on the first ballot.
@Writeonright Im helping pick Trump delegates. They will vote Cruz on ballot 2. You a delegate? I am. Silly Trumpers don't know rules. #fail
— Randall Dunning (@DunningRandall) March 15, 2016
Trump has assembled a team to help him win delegates. That team is comprised of Ben Carson's former campaign manager Barry Bennett, Carson strategist Jason Osborne, consultant and former RNC official Ed Brookover, and Washington super-lawyer Don McGahn of the Jones Day law firm. But the Trump effort has run into trouble, with Trump already threatening to sue over delegates in Louisiana, and Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier snapping back that "We have earned our delegates fair and square."
Dunning foresees problems for Trump in Texas.
"There's two elements to the whole primary season," Dunning said. "The first is primary votes. The second is marshaling delegates. In Texas the delegates are elected out of the congressional districts. It's like any other campaign. It's theoretically possible that you could get an entire delegation coming out of Texas that supports Ted Cruz" on the second ballot.
"Statistically that won't happen but there's nothing to prevent that from happening," Dunning added.
The March 1 primary in Texas put 155 delegates up for grabs, with 108 of them decided by the results in each congressional district. Cruz won 43.8 percent of the vote to Trump's 26.7 percent and claimed 104 delegates to Trump's 48 delegates on the first ballot.
But Trump can still lose those 48 delegates on the second ballot.
The Texas GOP elects delegates at congressional district caucuses in May. People are currently running for those positions. According to the state party handbook:
Selection of Congressional District Delegates to the Republican National Convention will take place within the 36 Congressional District caucuses at the May 6-8 Texas Republican State convention. Elections for a candidate's committed delegates (based on the graduated proportional formula outlined above) are made from persons nominated from the floor at the Congressional District caucus. Elections are made by majority vote. All three delegates are elected first in separate elections, followed by three alternates.
Dunning said that Trump supporters who are new to politics are disadvantaged in delegate races by design.
"If you want to be a national delegate and you go up before the committee at any level, they say, 'What have you done for the party?' Well, I just got involved and went to a Donald rally. They're like, 'hmmm."
"It's just like anything else. It's a campaign. People are sending out their resumes. It's hard for people new to the process to become delegates."
Dunning said that he got started in politics working for Pat Robertson, who "didn't have a lot of rah-rah rallies, but boy did he have training" on delegate selection methods. Robertson did fairly well in the 1988 Republican primary, relatively speaking.
Dunning defends his delegate-marshaling for Cruz.
"I'm concerned by how much hate I get on Twitter," he said. "People actually saying I'm establishment? The invective has gotten pretty high."
"The idea that this delegate stuff is some arcane game played by the elite? It's a process designed to prevent gridlock. Lincoln won on the third ballot. Lincoln had to hustle on the ground and his ground game is studied to this day in Republican politics. Lincoln's organization invented the modern ground game."

These days it is not enough to simply pack away money for a rainy day. To know how to make money from investing is absolutely vital. This reality has always been there, but in today's world it becomes even more vital to secure your own future retirement. We spend half of our lives trying to find the right combination of factors and investments to build our money. With companies going bust and government funding being as unstable as ever, you need to pick some good investments and be smart with your hard earned cash. Here are 5 ways on how to make money from investing and to get you off and running toward a secure future:
How to Make Money from Investing
Invest on an automated schedule
If you set up your investments to come out of your check or account automatically, you really will get used to not having it. The key to any good investment is steady growth and an automated investment works wonders for this. Figure out how much you want going where, and then set it up to fly on autopilot. Your paycheck will seem a bit short for a bit, but that will pass in no time.
Only swing for the fences with 10 percent
Gambling with high risk stocks can be a good time but when you lose it stinks. The worst part is that your odds are so terrible. Find some high risk stable investment stocks and invest no more than 10 percent of your allotment at the most if you must. Some folks simply can't resist and there is money to be made. Just make it so that your losses don't hurt so much at a minimum.
Revisit your portfolio yearly
Your investment profile is almost certain to change at least once a year because life tends to move at that speed. People get married, have kids, send kids to college and countless other life events. Spend some time reviewing your investments and figure out which ones need adjusting and which ones are fine. Do this at least once per year and more often if your life is changing rapidly.
It is the oldest advice in the book, but it still holds true as ever. It is also one of the best when it comes to 5 ways to invest your money. Diversify your investments so that all of your eggs are not in one basket. Put a little here and a little there so that when things go up and down, you don't feel it quite so much. Diversification allows you to have a bit of an umbrella.
Utilize the pros if you are outside your own expertise
So many people go out and try to wing it when it comes to investments and it is sad. It is awesome to go out and try to do something yourself. The problem is, investing is not a beginner-type proposition. The pros sometimes struggle at making money. Compare it to a professional athlete. You would not line up in front of Lebron James and expect to beat him one on one would you?
Why then do you think you could guess the right stocks and bonds with no experience? Consult a pro and at least get good advice before doing it on your own. You will be richer for it.
Although we learned about how to make money from investing, the key is finding the right methods that fit you. By using the professionals, diversifying your funds and being careful about high risk type investments, you can build a financial profile that will always be stable and secure. Investing is not easy, but it is worthwhile. Without it, retirement is going to be a very difficult thing indeed. Consider these tips before diving in.

Virtual masks in the BACCHAE by Georgia Spiropoulos (ΙRCAM,2010) : exploring tragic vocality in Max/MSP environment
Submitted by stefania on Fri, 08/31/2012 - 21:58
Publication Type:Conference Proceedings
Source:Proceedings of the 9th Sound and Music Computing Conference, Copenhagen, Denmark, p.208-215 (2012)
In this paper we present some technical aspects on the interactive masks created by the composer Georgia Spiropoulos for the needs of the opera Les Bacchantes (Ircam, 2010). Bacchae is an opera for a single performer, tape and live electronics where the voice of the performer interprets four different roles with the interactive environment in Max/MSP. The virtual masks as a metaphor of Euripides' dramatic personae in which masks of the same actor are used as virtual scores which register the vocal trace of the performer and give further vocal agility, extensibility, mutation, multiplication and augmented vocality.

My first attempts at sprouting were done in large jars, the size of glass mayonnaise jars. I would add the seeds and a little water, and seal the jar with cloth on top with a rubber band so that there was air circulation, and put the jar in a window that had some sun, remembering not to keep it in full sun as this would make the jar too hot. I would turn the jar or give it a little shake as the seeds sprouted, and soon the jar was full of sprouts that looked something like what you see in the picture.
If you are looking for the nutritional benefits of sprouts, you can find some information by visiting the International Sprout Growers Association (ISGA), and by reading their alphabetical list of sprouts and sprout nutrition including vitamins and nutrients.

Syria's opposition has set preconditions for attending long delayed peace talks known as Geneva 2 .
Syria's opposition sets preconditions for peace conference
Syria's opposition sets preconditions for peace conference
Speaking in Cairo, Syrian National Coalition President Ahmad Jarba told the Arab League he would attend the conference only if there was a clear time frame for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave power:
"We have decided not to enter Geneva talks unless it is with dignity and unless there is a successful transfer of power with all its institutions accompanied with a definite time line. And no to the attendance of the Iranian representative at the mediation table," said Syrian opposition chief President Ahmad Jarba.
The talks are meant to bring Syria's warring sides to the negotiating table without any preconditions from either party.
The opposition's move adds further doubt as to when the conference will be held.
Arab and Western officials have said that it is unlikely to be convened this month.
