What We're Doing
Simply put, we're raising money! Blue Like Jazz, the successful bestselling book by Donald Miller was to become a film. On September 16th, Don posted on his blog that despite a strong screenplay, a stellar cast, and rave reviews, the film would be put on hold indefinitely - because there was not enough funding. We thought that since the book itself is so unique, why should the funding come traditionally? We submit that the funds for this movie should come from the people who the book actually impacted. It should come from the more than a million people who bought the book. It should come from the fans. We are raising $125,000 in time for the film to enter into production on October 25th.
Why We're Doing It
We're just a couple of normal guys who decided to take a chance. When we heard the news about the film being halted, we thought to ourselves; "There's got to be another way." We dreamed big and now here we are. We know this is possible. Blue Like Jazz has reached a massive amount of people, and if it were to become a film, it would reach even more. Most importantly, we believe that this is going to be an incredible story. Think about it… investors back out, the movie's put on hold, then the fans step up and say; "No, we will fund this movie." That is a story we want to be a part of. Will you join us?
-- FAQs
What's in the digital download package?
Everyone who donates at least $10 will receive our digital download package. We are still adding to this package, but here is what we have confirmed so far. This will include the following:
-All posters, banners and desktop wallpaper used in the Save Blue Like Jazz Campaign
-Official Blue Like Jazz movie promotional material. Posters, wallpapers, etc.
-The first 15 pages from the official script
-A brand new song previously unreleased from Steve Taylor
When exactly is "The Big Night?"
The Big Night in Portland has yet to be scheduled, mainly because parts of the movie schedule itself are still up in the air. You can count on it being sometime in the fall 2011, weeks before the theatrical release of the movie. We promise we will give you a heads up WAY in advance.
Can I Gift An Incentive?
YES! Spectacular idea. If you would like to donate to the film but give the reward to someone as a gift, go through all the normal process of making a donation in your name. For billing purposes, this action must be in your name. After our deadline, we will send a message to you on Kickstarter. (It will be forwarded to the email address you provided) We will request things like your t-shirt size and address from you at that time. Please reply with all the person's information that is to receive the reward. We will make sure they are the person who receives the reward.
Now that the film is funded, when will it release?
Still to be determined. Weeks ago, Steve and Don didn't think they would be making a movie, but now they are! Filming is to begin on October 25th, 2010 and post-production will begin soon after filming is complete. The plan is to have the movie release sometime in the fall of 2011. Rest assured all of us involved will make sure YOU know when it's due to release.
How will Steve get my number? How will you get my T-shirt size?
Steve is currently going through all the people who have donated to request their phone number. If you have donated, you will get a message from Steve pretty soon. Please reply to him. He hates rejection, and he wants to thank you. Please bear with him though, as he has thousands of phone calls to make.
Once we cross our deadline (October 25th) we will immediately begin manufacturing and completing incentives for everyone involved. You will get a message from us requesting information from you like your T-shirt size, address, etc. At that time, please reply to us as soon as possible so that we can complete your incentive.
Can I increase my pledge once it's been made?
YES! Once you donate to our campaign, you may want to change your incentive reward to a different one, or increase your pledge amount. To do so, go to Kickstarter and sign in. If you go to our campaign page, the green "Back This Project" button has been replaced with a blue "Manage Your Donation" button. Click it and you can enter a new amount, or choose a new incentive.
What happens if the money isn't raised in time? Unfortunately nothing. If our goal isn't met before the deadline, no money changes hands and no movie is made. We want to avoid this scenario at all cost!
Can we exceed the goal?
YES! What an amazing problem to have. Kickstarter will allow as much money as is given before the deadline. Maybe that would mean a more widespread theater release, or more unique physical copy packaging. The possibilities are endless.
How do we contact you? Glad you asked! You can contact us directly at email@example.com. We check it. We will get back to you. We promise!
Is Save Blue Like Jazz a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization?
Unfortunately neither this movement nor Blue Like Jazz is set up as a non-profit. Donations are raw gifts. Non-tax deductible.
If I donate, when can I redeem the incentive?
All incentives, big and small, will only happen if our goal is met. If we do meet our goal, immediately after our deadline we will start to manufacture and ship all physical merch directly to you. It will be our priority to schedule the more personal incentives as soon as possible. You will hear from us. (More on this as we get closer to our deadline)
Who does the money go to?
Every penny (minus the fees for Kickstarter's involvement) will go directly to Director Steve Taylor's movie budget - i.e. Your money goes directly to the funding of this film.
$125,000 seems like a low number for a movie budget. Doesn't it?
You are correct. Fortunately, there are still very important investors involved in this film. The $125,000 figure is the remaining balance of a larger total budget. Our goal is imperative for the film to be a reality.
Any other questions? Just ask us. We'd be stoked to answer them. firstname.lastname@example.com

Summary Meeting Notes: February 13, 2013 Equity Work Group meeting
February 13, 2013
Attendees: Karyn Hanson; Justin Douglas; Noelle Dobson; Sara Schooley; Carol Gossett; Roger Anthony; Ivy Dunlap; Michelle Kunec-North; Will Fuller; John Cole; Sandra Wood; Michele Crim; Eric Hesse; Patricia Neighbor; Linda Nettekoven; Joe Hertzberg; Desiree Williams-Rajee; Judith Mowry; Joe Zehnder; Helen Ying
Welcome and Introductions
- Judith Mowry (Office of Equity and Human Rights) set the context for the meeting by outlining the goal that the meeting is an opportunity to work and think together about the equity issues participants are seeing coming up in their PEGs.
- Noelle Dobson gave an overview for the group of some of the ongoing work being done related to health-equity issues that overlap with many of the Comp Plan issue and policy areas. They are focusing a great deal on implementation and decision making.
- Judith reminded the group about the upcoming public workshops. There will be an opportunity at the workshops for public participants to comment on improving equity through the Comp Plan.
Group Discussion
- Attendees presented some ideas, concerns and thoughts they had about the Working Draft and/or the PEG discussions to date. Areas of discussion included:
- How do we ensure the goals and policies are going to lead to the equity outcomes we are seeking through implementation?
- We need to pay attention to the implementation part of the plan – how is the City going to be held accountable
- There are maybe two ways of getting at the implementation…can you write policy language that directs or prioritizes investments…or, do you create outcomes that you measure against?
- The Portland Plan will still live, after the Comp Plan adoption. The City is focused on trying to institutionalize/operationalize the outcome measures outlined in thePortlandPlan…which is why outcomes are not outlined in the Working Draft. There is a connection – it just isn't explicit
- Part of the challenge is also that the Comp Plan has traditionally been focused on a "professional audience" (e.g. planners and others that need to write findings)…however, that also makes it less accessible by the general public. Which continues to forward an imbalance in power in decision-making (e.g. if it isn't accessible to everyone, how can they engage in the decision-making that happens).
- At public workshops, we need to be clear about the changes we need to make to address inequities. We need to have frank conversations with the public about what needs to happen (e.g. we can't continue to invest in Parks in one part of town if we are serious about addressing Park deficiencies in another area). (Staff response: The second round of workshops will more explicitly frame these clear choices.)
- We need to get indirect costs (e.g. environmental justice impacts) into the broader decision-making systems and frameworks.
- How often when there was a list of public facilities that included stormwater and not sanitary sewer. BPS Staff need to make sure that sanitary sewer isn't left off when it needs to be listed (especially outside of Chapter 6).
Decision Making:
- How will the "Integrated Goals" be used in decision making? The role of the Comp Plan is to find some balance between setting a long-term direction…while also ensuring there is enough direction to ensure implementation is moving us in the right direction in the short-term. To also help these intentions survive political and budget cycles.
- The Comp Plan is a decision making tool. We have never had a decision-making hierarchy – the City is trying to set up decision-making rules (Integrated Goals) that over-arch over the chapter policies.
- There are some other components of the Comp Plan that will support the goals and policies (e.g. Community Involvement Program). There are a lot of things that are going to impact decision making – not just the goals and policies. However, that being the case…the way decisions need to get made isn't really clear. That needs more work
Connecting to the Portland Plan:
- The Portland Plan had a framework of equity – the sense is that the equity frame doesn't exist (come through) in the Comp Plan. We haven't arrived yet…needs a lot more work to make it hold it all together. There is a tremendous amount of work.
Applying the Equity Lens
- Curious about centers…wondering if an equity lens has been applied to the concept of centers? How do we know that the Centers growth strategy will address inequities?
- For industrial lands…there are some assumptions about growth and needed industrial land supply. Why do we have to base everything around the assumption that industrial lands will be important (that history determines the future)? There are some key issues related to impacts of industrial lands on communities of color. We need to figure out what it looks like to really invest in ways (e.g. brownfield remediation) in ways that support small business development in communities of color.
- In the environmental justice realm…how do we balance regional benefit with local impacts?
- It would be helpful if the BPS staff took some issues and ran them through the Comp Plan and an equity lens – create some case studies and talk through them with the Equity Group.
Directing Investment
- The centers concept is not clear in terms of which centers require a higher degree of investments. Don't see how that leads to decisions to on where to invest.
Integration/Unintended consequences:
- We should apply the equity lens at a variety of scales…not just look at a single policy, but also look at a suite of policies (and the Comp Plan as a whole) to determine if it supports equity.
- Part of the challenge is it is hard to review the goals and policies in absence of some of the other Comp Plan components that haven't been shared yet (e.g. growth scenarios).
- The Integrated Goals sit at a higher level than the any policy that might be used. So one key place to ensure equity filters down through to integration is to ensure that Integrated Goal gets it right.
- We need to fix the Comp Plan along the way (through implementation) so that it remains a relevant and useful tool.
- Chapter 4: There are three goals, one including environmental justice. There are policies that match up against all of the goals except for environmental justice. It would be easier to read, if the policies lined up under the goals.
- It would be a good exercise for BPS to do – to make sure that there are actually policies that back-up the goals.
Future Equity Group Discussion
- Has there been discussion to of including "Disparate Impact Statement" tools to inform decision-making? How does this type of implementation tool get incorporated into the policy document?
- Explore how to make the decision-making flow chart/process more clear and explicit in the Comp Plan (how the Integrated Goals are higher than the other chapter goals and policies) Capital Improvement Projects
- How implementation happens…this is an area of concern, confusion and tension. Maybe a case study in reverse…taking implementation and work it backwards to get to the goals and policies.
- If there are specific pieces staff is struggling with. The Equity Group wants to be helpful to staff.
- Debrief around what was heard at the public workshops (both content and format).

If package specification is omitted in the name, then the current package is used. The return value is the sub. The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc). You won't be able to actually invoke the sub by the given name. To allow that, you need to do glob-assignment yourself. Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared outside the sub itself) you can name each instance of the closure differently, which can be very useful for debugging.

Lawmakers Could Debate Death Penalty In Kansas
KSCB News - September 16, 2013 8:17 am
Kansas lawmakers expect a lively debate next year on whether to revisit the state's penalties for murder.
Some are pushing for tougher prison sentences, while others are seeking to repeal capital punishment following an unsuccessful effort this past session.
The issue surfaced this month as legislators met briefly to fix a constitutional flaw in the Hard 50 sentencing procedure for offenders convicted of premeditated first-degree murder.
The state took the action following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said juries, not judges, must consider whether the facts in a case should prompt mandatory minimum sentences.
Senate Vice President Jeff King says the special session brought into focus the need for policymakers to re-examine whether the state's murder sentences are adequate when compared to other crimes.

Purpose | Smokefree Movies aims to end the film industry's long usefulness to the tobacco industry's perpetual pursuit of new smokers. Our evidence-based policy solutions are designed to:
- substantially reduce young audiences' exposure to on-screen smoking
- create the strong counter-incentives needed to keep Big Tobacco out of entertainment media.
History | Smokefree Movies was begun by Stanton A. Glantz, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, in 2001. Prof. Glantz is co-author of The Cigarette Papers and Tobacco War, and director of the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.

advertising, in general, any openly sponsored offering of goods, services, or ideas through any medium of public communication. At its inception advertising was merely an announcement; for example, entrepreneurs in ancient Egypt used criers to announce ship and cargo arrivals. The invention of printing, however, may be said to have ushered in modern advertising. After the influence of salesmanship began to insert itself into public notice in the 18th cent., the present elaborate form of advertising began to evolve. The advertising agency, working on a commission basis, has been chiefly responsible for this evolution. The largest group of advertisers are the food marketers, followed by marketers of drugs and cosmetics, soaps, automobiles, tobacco, appliances, and oil products. The major U.S. advertising media are newspapers, magazines, television and radio, business publications, billboards, and circulars sent through the mail. With the advent of the wide availability of electronic mail and access to the World Wide Web in the 1990s, the Internet has also become an important advertising venue. Since many large advertising agencies were once located on Madison Avenue in New York City, the term
"Madison Avenue"
is frequently used to symbolize the advertising business. The major criticisms of advertising are that it creates false values and impels people to buy things they neither need nor want and that, in fact, may be actually harmful (such as cigarettes). In reply, its defenders say that advertising is meant to sell products, not create values; that it can create a new market for products that fill a genuine, though latent, need; and that it furthers product improvement through free competition. The Association of National Advertisers and the American Association of Advertising Agencies, both founded in 1917, are the major associations.
See M. Mayer, Madison Avenue, U.S.A. (1958); R. Glatzer, The New Advertising (1970); R. Hovland and G. Wilcox, ed., Advertising in Society (1988); W. Wells et al., Advertising: Principles & Practice (4th ed. 1998); J. B. Twitchell, Adcult, USA (1995) and 20 Ads That Shook the World: The Century's Most Groundbreaking Advertising and How It Changed Us All (2000).
ad·ver·tise·ment / ˈadvərˌtīzmənt; ədˈvərtiz-/ • n. a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. ∎ (advertisement for) inf. a person or thing regarded as a means of recommending something: unhappy clients are not a good advertisement for the company. ∎ archaic a notice to readers in a book.

text: LazarusLoggerhead (Caretta caretta) Stranding Location: Garden City, SCArrival Date: 06/07/2014Age: JuvenileWeight: 32.4 kg (~72 lb.)Case History Emaciated, lethargic, and near death, this juvenile loggerhead stranded on the beach near Calhoun Street in Garden City. Local S.C.U.T.E. nesting beach volunteers assisted with the timely rescue and transport of this animal to our sea turtle hospital. Other than two old fish hooks embedded in the skin of the left front flipper and neck, this loggerhead did not have any physical injuries. However, it was clear to our staff at admission that this sea turtle had been ill and inappetant for weeks or months due to its extremely poor nutritional state and heavy load of epibionts on the shell and skin. This animal's epibionts, which can provide clues as to where and how long sick sea turtles have been floating, included large bryozoans, various sessile barnacle species, and Ozobranchus leeches.Treatment Staff were ready and waiting to begin treating this turtle immediately upon its arrival just after 5:00 P.M. on Saturday evening, June 7th. Due to the decalcified state of this loggerhead's skeletal system, s/he was kept on a soft bed of foam throughout the treatment process to prevent unintentional bone fractures. The heart rate was fairly strong (22 beats per minute, or bpm) at admission; however, blood work was very poor (PCV 3-4%, total solids 1.6, glucose undetectable). Our vet administered fluids, both subcutaneously and directly into the vascular system, to combat severe dehydration, edema, and anemia. Injectable vitamins and antibiotics were also given.At 5:53 P.M., this loggerhead began to exhibit the classical signs of sea turtle death: s/he threw her head up and gasped a few times, moved her front flippers in an exaggerated fashion, and pulled the eyes deep into the skull. Despite the fact that we've never been able to recover a turtle from this state, our vet quickly administered epinephrine and placed a tube down the trachea so that we could "breathe" for her using an Ambu bag. Over the next 15 minutes, staff observed the return of the heart rate to a slow but regular-sounding 8 bpm, the return of the bite reflex, and autonomous muscle jerking transform into conscious flipper movement. We let her rest overnight on the ventilator after exhausting all of our treatment options. Prognosis is very poor.Updates 12 June 2014: This loggerhead has remained under nearly constant supervision since admission by hospital staff during the day and our security team at night. We've continued treatments (fluids, antibiotics, etc.) and have offered food but, other than eating a single squid on the 10th, this turtle has no interest in eating. In an effort to initiate movement of the GI tract, we tube-fed this turtle a small amount of gruel today. Ten minutes later, she again exhibited signs of agonal death and was quickly rushed upstairs on a gurney to our medical lab for another dose of epinephrine, fluids, and intubation. The heart rate was restored, s/he began breathing on her own, and we are keeping her dry-docked on foam overnight. We've also given her the very fitting name of "Lazarus" since this is the first sea turtle we've successfully brought back from death – twice.26 June 2014: Thanks to intensive and aggressive medical treatment, Lazarus remains alert and responsive in a shallow tank of water nearly three weeks after admission. Although s/he is still lethargic, her behavior is very normal for a loggerhead (there are no signs of neurological impairment). However, s/he continues to refuse all types of food (salmon, smelt, mackerel, trout, squid, etc.) even when it's placed in her mouth. Subsequent tube feeding treatments have gone well, and we've also been successful providing both IV nutrition and in force-feeding her very small pieces of food. We've now seen two fecals and, although she is passing bile, it's still a positive sign that her GI tract is moving. However, prognosis remains poor and we are continuing intensive treatments.15 July 2014: The good news: Despite valiant daily attempts to encourage this weak turtle to eat on her own, Lazarus refused food – and immediately spit out food placed in her mouth – until July 1st, when she finally chewed and swallowed a small amount of mackerel. This was a huge step forward! We are continuing to feed very small amounts of fish twice a day, but must proceed slowly and carefully as her GI tract is basically shut down from long-term anorexia. Also, we are currently having to offer filets (no large bones or skin) as this loggerhead is an extremely finicky eater.The bad news: We found a small segment of monofilament fishing line and two different pieces of sheet-like plastic in her fecal today. This is extremely concerning as there are likely additional foreign bodies in her system that are potential harmful. We are closely monitoring this very sick turtle for additional foreign materials and signs of impaction (none yet).6 August 2014: Lazarus has progressed from being a finicky eater to now eagerly consuming nearly a pound and a half of whole fish each day! We are splitting her diet into breakfast and dinner to prevent overloading her sensitive GI tract. On a fabulous note, Lazarus passed her first formed and normal fecal on August 4th and has gained 11 pounds since admission!15 September 2014: Staff pulled blood on this resilient turtle last Wednesday (9/10) to check on her internal health, and the results are astounding. Her hematocrit (red blood cell volume) is up to 21%, which is quite an improvement from the severely anemic state (PCV: 3-4%) she was in when she stranded. While her hematocrit is still lower than our minimum for release, her blood work results indicate that Lazarus is regaining her health.8 April 2015: This loggerhead sea turtle will be remembered by staff and volunteers forever due to the astounding recovery we've been fortunate enough to witness over the past ten months. Lazarus has transformed from a skeletal turtle covered in epibionts and too weak to swim into a robust and aggressive loggerhead splashing around her hospital tank. Over the past few weeks, our vet and staff have carefully analyzed Lazarus' recent blood work, swimming behavior, and ability to capture and consume live blue crabs. This turtle is strong in every category, and has been medically cleared for release.Release Date April 10, 2015Release Location Gulf Stream Waters Offshore South Carolina

I too have always pictured something between the Romans and the Hoplites in dwarven warfare. I see, given the confined nature of the tunnels, a first rank of interlocking shields, with either gladius-style short swords or short spears using an underhand thrust, while the second and third ranks strike with spears overhand. Prior to melee, the second and third ranks would have been firing crossbows volley style, while the first rank knelt behind their shields (out of the way of both friendly and unfriendly fire).They would keep these tactics on the surface, with adjustments for larger numbers.

These industrial-chic storage solutions from StellaBleuDesigns on Etsy are easily the raddest things I've seen lately. If my room didn't look like a 26-year-old's take on the Pottery Barn Kids catalogue (hey, it's a work in progress...) I would have ordered them for myself! But alas, I've realized lately that I am faaaar too girly. And they are perfect for our resident male! I will be so jealous when these arrive and his room looks amazing (and age-appropriate) and just plain cool. I am not 100% certain, but I think he ordered the Industrial Pipe Shelf Level 3 Wood and the Bookshelf Industrial Pipe Mario Bros Finish Line. I am also totally digging the Industrial Pipe Corner Shelf with Pendant Lighting and the Industrial Garment Rack Triple Level. So definitely check out StellaBleuDesigns ASAP if any of these pieces are striking your fancy!

High street chain stores as well as unique antique, gift and fashion shops make it a destination for shoppers. (I must confess to buying a pair of fabulous red boots.) But, what really attracted me to Bath were the baths. Don't get me wrong, there is much to recommend in this beautiful, historic city. There's the Mayor's Guides Free Walking Tour that gives you a history of the city and a good walk around all the highlights. There's the Bath Abbey and Pump Room for a bit of historic extravagance.

Five buddies and I go deer hunting in Idaho every year. One member of our group, Skinny, has been praising the virtues of SureFire to all of us for quite some time now, but economic times being what they are, a major flashlight purchase was not high on most of our lists. After setting up camp and settling into the evening, Skinny began his tribute to SureFire as he showed us how the lights can work in two modes, battery life, and with this particular model, the E2DL Defender®, how it can be also used as a self-defense weapon, with its crenellated Strike Bezel®. We all agreed that it was something we should each have in our hunting packs and promised him that "someday" we would.
Well, someday came very quickly—Skinny vanished into his tent and returned with a box under his arm. Every one of us was dumbfounded when Skinny produced a brand-new Surefire E2DL Defender with batteries for each of us. He said he wanted to make sure we all had an edge when it came to nighttime illumination. It was the most memorable hunting trip in a long time.
Thanks, SureFire. And thanks again, Skinny.

Snake that swallowed golf ball to be used for environmental education
BEAUFORT, S.C. — Golf giving you heartburn? It could be a lot worse.
A snake in Beaufort swallowed a golf ball whole this week and was sliding toward a sure and agonizing death, a Titleist wedged tightly in its gut.
But concerned citizens and a skillful surgeon intervened. The yellow rat snake not only found redemption on the operating table, it has slithered into new career. It's gone from chicken coop thief to Lowcountry environmental educator.
The four-foot snake apparently thought it was poaching a fresh egg when it sucked down a Titleist golf ball in a chicken coop in the vicinity of Hermitage Road. Golf balls are sometimes placed in nests to give hens a hint as to where they might do what they're supposed to do.
Lucky for the snake, the couple who saw it trying to cross the road with its unusual load are trained Master Naturalists who earn their living in the great outdoors.
David Gorzynski and Kim Gundler, who own and operate Beaufort Kayak Tours, called Dr. Al Segars, veterinarian with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, and Tony Mills, education director at the nonprofit Lowcountry Institute on Spring Island.
And Dr. Mark Guilloud, veterinarian at Animal Medical Center of the Lowcountry, happened by to return a kayak to a friend. He agreed to treat the snake.
Segars looked online and found the protocol for removing a golf ball from a snake and emailed it to Guilloud.
He and his staff got anesthetic in the snake using a red rubber tube normally used to feed puppies.
Guilloud said he's taken a lot of stuff out of a lot of Beaufort pets in the past 23 years, but never a golf ball from a snake.
"From a dog, I've taken golf balls, hard balls, socks, blankets, Bert and Ernie -- all the kids' toys," he said.
In the 10-minute operation, he sliced through the snake's skin, muscle and stomach to get to the golf ball. After he sewed up all three, the snake nearly died, he said. For a while, it didn't breathe or take oxygen, but suddenly revived.
It was taken to the Nature Center at the Lowcountry Institute, where it is recuperating nicely in a roomy cage. Its stitches will be removed in about two weeks.
Mills, who hosts the "Coastal Kingdom" show about nature on the Beaufort County Channel, says the golf-ball snake is docile and will make a good ambassador in educating people about how special the Lowcountry eco-system is and how every link of the chain is important -- even thieving yellow rat snakes.
"They are important," he said. "They are non-venemous and they do good things, like control rats and mice. Most importantly, the snake has a right to be here."
That's not too much to swallow, is it?

I am very new to linux and need some help please. Yesterday I installed mint 14 on my compaq laptop as a dual boot with the Vista that was already there. Seemed to work OK except when I boot to mint the wireless adapter does not get turned on. The wireless adapter switch is in the on position but the light stays red (red indicates it is off). When I boot to Vista the adapter light turns blue (for on) and I get wireless connection to the internet. The adapter also works fine when I boot to Partition Magic from a usb flash drive. I can't find anything relevant in the BIOS settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

John Contreras/The Lamar Ledger
The Lamar Community College baseball team eyes the start of the 2012-2013 season.
Opening Day for the Runnin' Lopes will be this weekend when they host a four-game series with the University of Colorado Club Team on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 2-3 at Merchants Park.
The 2013 season brings new challenges for veteran LCC head coach Scott Crampton and the Runnin' Lopes.
The 'Lopes graduated the top six hitters from last year's team who finished fourth in the nation in team batting.
Also gone is Second Team All-American and Rawlings Big Stick Award winner short stop Pier-Olivier Dostaler. Pier also broke the school record for hits (100) and triples (7). He earned the number one spot for career hits with (179) as well.
The two returners with considerable playing time from last year are catchers Drew Merten (.288 BA, 26 RBIs, 6 HRs) and Max Schoen (.316 BA, 10 RBIs).
Both Merten and Schoen have signed with four-year schools this fall.
This year's lineup could have as many as five sophomore transfers to fill the voids from graduation.
Leading the way is professional prospect Sam Wilson, a transfer from University of New Mexico.
Wilson is a left-handed pitcher/outfielder who should go high in this year's draft. He is expected to be the No. 1 starter on the mound and also will start in center fielder when not pitching.
Other sophomore transfers expected to make an impact are: Adam Lindell, Brett Bernal, and Thomas Cunningham.
A solid freshman class will add strength to the team. Expected to start are Shane Fessel, Thomaslee Mares, Roberto Carrasco, as well as red-shirt freshmen Josh Day and Cole Gilmore.
Other freshmen expecting to make a contribution are Conner Crane, Alex Cruz-Diaz, and Cory Cyrus.
On the mound, LCC brings back five experienced players. The returning staff is led by Mark Hendrick, who won 10 games last year.
Other sophomores who return with a combined 18 wins, 64 appearances, 168 innings pitched, and 121 strikeouts are: Stephen Heyliger, Kyle Tinius, Nick Halliday, and Matt Forsyth. Sophomore Garrett Pape returns from an injury year and should see action in the rotation.
Freshman Austin Moore leads the freshman class on the mound. Moore is expected to pitch in the rotation.
Other freshman pitchers include: Roberto Zapata, Alex Werbach, and Lee Jensen.
With a solid core of sophomores, transfers, and freshmen the Runnin' Lopes have great expectations for 2013.
After back-to-back-to-back Empire Conference titles the Runnin' Lopes are the favorites again in 2013.
Having dominated the conference since 2001 with a 320-73 conference record, LCC look keep the tradition going.
The Runnin' Lopes are ranked 16th in the Collegiate Baseball preseason rankings.
2012 Season Summary
2012 brought the third straight Conference and Region titles to LCC.
LCC finished 25-4 in Empire Conference play and won its 10 conference title in 12 years.
The Runnin' Lopes finished 48-12 overall and were ranked as high as 11th in the NJCAA national standings in May.
At the conclusion of the regular season, LCC hosted fourth place McCook Community College in the first round of Empire Conference playoffs on May 4-5.
The Runnin' Lopes swept the series in two games by the scores of 10-2 and 13-4.
Next for LCC was a best two-out-of-three series at home for the Region IX Championship.
The Runnin' Lopes hosted No. 2 seed Northeastern Junior College.
Northeastern had defeated Trinidad State the week before to play for the Region IX title.
The Runnin' Lopes captured their eighth Region IX title in the past twelve years by taking two of three from the Plainsmen.
In game one, talented freshman Casey Christiansen (5-2) picked up his first loss of the season after going 5-0 in the regular season. NJC defeated LCC 4-1 in game one.
Needing to win two in a row at home to secure the Region IX title, the Runnin' Lopes won twice on Sunday by the scores of 10-7 and 6-3.
The Region IX Championship earned LCC the right to travel to the Western District Tournament in Salt Lake City, UT on May 17-18 for a beth to the JUCO World Series.
The four teams competing in the Western District Tournament were Lamar Community College, Western Nevada Community College, Central Arizona College, and Salt Lake Community College.
The first game for LCC saw an 8-0 loss to the host team Salt Lake City CC.
LCC next faced Central Arizona and sent David Leblanc (7-3) to the mound in a must-win situation.
The Runnin' Lopes sent Central Arizona packing in a 12-2 victory decided by the 10-run rule.
LCC then faced Salt Lake City again in the loser's bracket after SLCC lost a tough one-run extra inning game to Western Nevada.
LCC made a couple of costly mistakes to end the season with a 6-4 loss to a very good Salt Lake City team.
Western Nevada would then go on to defeat Salt Lake City to represent the Western District in the 2012 JUCO World Series.
The 48 victories for LCC marked the 11th time the Runnin' Lopes had won over 40 games in a season, with three of those seasons being over 50.

I see these little round pieces of material that people have been making quilts out of.
How are the little yo yo pieces connected together? Can they be connected together by machine sewing or does this need to be done by hand sewing. Are they sewn across the middle of the fabric pieces?

Four in 10 kids who get a diagnosis of either depression or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) end up getting both diagnoses sometime in their young lives. That means a lot will spend some part of their adolescence taking two psychiatric medications: methylphenidate (better known by its commercial name, Ritalin) and fluoxetine (better known as Prozac, the only of the new-generation antidepressants approved for kids as young as 8 years old). A new study conducted on rats suggests that taking that combination of drugs may change the adults they will become in ways that are distinctly troubling.
Taking Ritalin and Prozac together during adolescence appears to set in motion subtle changes in brain function that, in adulthood, makes an individual more sensitive to reward as well as to stress, and more likely to exhibit the pessimism and hopelessness seen in depression, concluded the study, published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience.
The study's findings suggest "that combining methyphenidate and fluoxetine early in life may lead to lifelong behavioral and chemical abnormalities," wrote the authors, from Florida State University and Cal State San Bernardino. Specifically, the combination of the stimulant drug methyphenidate and the serotonin-boosting antidepressant fluoxetine appears to act on the brain in much the same way as does cocaine.
In children's developing brains, the researchers demonstrated that that combination turns on and off production of certain proteins in the ventral tegmental area, a key node in the brain's reward circuitry. If those production processes get knocked out of whack during adolescence, the result can be subtle changes in an adult's ability to regulate mood and to moderate reward-seeking behavior such as eating, drug-taking or sexual activity.
"This is not necessarily maladaptive and may not represent enhanced addiction potential," the authors cautioned. But adult rats who got the Ritalin-plus-Prozac combo as pups were more likely than those who had no early exposure to psychotropic drugs to prefer highly sugared water to the plain stuff, and to stay longer in a compartment where they had gotten a dose of cocaine--evidence they were waiting around hoping for another. In assessing a rat's propensity to addiction, those are troubling signs.
These effects were not the result of massive doses, either. In the study, researchers gave pre-adolescent rat pups two doses daily of the attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder drug and the antidepressant for 15 days, at dosages roughly the equivalent to what human children being treated with those medications would receive. The researchers also tested the long-term effects on rat pups of Prozac-only, Ritalin-only and saline solution-only.
The rat pups who got Prozac only also seemed more sensitive to rewards as adults--but on the plus side, they were also more resilient to stress than those who got none. The rats who got Ritalin-only as pups demonstrated not only less inclination toward sugar water, but a "significant aversion to cocaine" as adults--a sign that treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may head off drug abuse later. But they also showed greater sensitivity to stress later on.
But while Ritalin and Prozac seemed to effect long-term changes in both positive and negative directions, something about the combination of the two seemed particularly worrisome, the authors said. "These results underscore the complexity of drug effects in the immature brain, and detailed assessments of these phenomena are needed."
Will the many kids who now take both medications respond the same? That's not clear. The subjects in this experiment were not only rats, they were rats that were developing normally and were by all appearances free of depression or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms. Children with mood and behavioral problems that may reflect neurobiological differences might well need those differences corrected if they are to become healthy adults. There are a lot of "ifs" involved in applying these findings directly to humans.

What Would Happen If You Checked Out Some Brand New Fiction From JCPL?
At least once each day, the thought, "What would happen…" runs through my mind. Does it yours?
According to a small article in "Reader's Digest," Google, the most powerful search engine in the World Wide Web knows this and comes prepared with statements that complete this thought.
Some of the things you'll find if you type in "What would happen" include "if the earth stopped spinning," "if Yellowstone erupted," if I hired two private investigators to follow each other," if there was no moon," and just, "what would happen if."
One question that I didn't find listed there was, "What would happen if I found just the right fiction title and read it all in one sitting?" Hmmm…that's a question for your friends at JCPL, and here are some new fiction titles to answer that question!
Sisters, Mary and Trish couldn't be more different. Trish is divorced and raising two children in a home that is cluttered with bits and pieces of things she is sure she can't live without. When her son gets hurt and Child Protective Services shows up at her door, Trish realizes that she has become her mother; a hoarder who needs help cleaning out the clutter that is taking over her home and her life. Calling her perfect sister, Mary, is the last thing that Trish wants to do, but finds it impossible to take care of the mess by herself. Together the two women work to get the disaster of Trish's home cleared out, uncovering years of secrets, resentments and obsessions along the way in "Keepsake" by Kristina Riggle.
Returning home to his family's farm in eastern Colorado, Shakespeare Williams finds his senile father living in squalor with no money, discovering that the local banker has taken advantage of him and cheated him out of most of his farm equipment and his beloved Cessna. When a cast of misfit characters enter the plot, Shakespeare hatches a half baked scheme to save the family farm by robbing the bank that has stolen their future, coercing all of them to join him in "East of Denver" by Gregory Hill.
In a rural stretch of the Pacific Northwest in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Talmadge tends the grove of fruit trees that he has cultivated for over half a century. Finding solace in the land and the sweetness of the fruit he grows, Talmadge loves the landscape of his home and the patch of earth that he has called his own since he was nine years old. When two young feral girls show up on his property, the gentle, older man takes them in. As their trust in him grows, brutal men with guns show up on the orchard, shattering the peace of the valley and sending Talmadge on an irrevocable course to protect his land and the girls he has befriended in "The Orchardist" by Amanda Coplin.
Linda McKinney has spent her career studying the social structure of ants. Without her knowledge, the research that has shaped her career has been conscripted by unknown forces that use the sophisticated studies to create automated drone armies that have begun to attack the American homeland seeking out and destroying targets without human intervention. Along with Special Ops soldier, Odin, McKinney sets out to slow the advance of this unseen enemy, hoping that it's not too late to save humankind from the destruction of her own technological finds in "Kill Decision" by Daniel Suarez.
What would happen if I ended this article right here and now, found a nice cozy spot and a good book to read and got started on it? I don't need Google or any other search engine to tell me the answer to that, do you?

Rod Schrader was in driving by with his family when a fire caught their attention
"I noticed a bright ball of light," he says. "I just ran up to the bay window then and looked inside to see if anybody was in there."
95- year old Francis Introwitz was inside his Park Avenue home in Chippewa Falls last night, watching TV with his caretaker Shannon Doe. She says they didn't even know the garage was on fire.
"I heard the banging on the front door and I heard there's a fire in the garage, and I was like 'Oh my God!'" she says.
Schrader says he went inside to help Introwitz, which Doe says she might not have been able to do herself.
"The guy actually lifted Frenchie up and put him in his wheelchair for me," says Doe.
Schrader says the front door had been blocked, but he cleared the way. Another man was waiting to help lower Introwitz down the steps.
"He came to help me out the door because there was no ramp there," says Introwitz.
Introwitz and Doe both made it out safe. Schrader says he doesn't think his actions were in any way heroic.
"I think of myself as a good Samaritan and I did what anyone else would do," says Schrader.
Francis Introwitz's son says he's very grateful for everyone who helped his father to safety.
The Chippewa Falls Fire Chief says Good Samaritans rarely are seen on fire scenes: Most people call, but don't stop.
The Chippewa Falls Fire Department says a cigarette likely started the fire. The caretaker says she's sorry, because she was smoking behind the garage before the fire started.

I'm trying to get a better grasp of iterated forcing, and I ran across the following problem:
0) Let $P_\alpha$ be posets in a c.t.m. $M$, $\alpha<\beta$, and for each $\alpha$ let $G_\alpha$ be $P_\alpha$ generic. Let $P$ be the finite support iteration of the $P_\alpha$. Then is there necessarily a $G$ which is $P$-generic such that for all $\alpha$, $G_\alpha\in M[G]$?
My guess for how to do this would be transfinite induction, but I run into some problems when I try that. Specifically, the successor step makes sense, but the limit step and the base case $(\beta=2)$ don't.
[For what it's worth, here's the successor step. Suppose the answer to (0) is "yes" for all $\beta<\delta$, $\delta\ge 2$. Let $P_\alpha$ be posets for $\alpha<\delta+1$, let $G_\alpha$ be $P_\alpha$-generic, let $P$ be their finite support iteration, and let $P'$ be the finite support iteration of the $P_\alpha$ for $\alpha<\delta$. Then $P$ is equivalent (in fact, isomorphic) to $P'\times P_\delta$. By the induction hypothesis, we have some $G'$ which is $P'$-generic such that for all $\alpha<\delta$, $G_\alpha\in M[G']$. Applying the induction hypothesis again (since $\delta>1$) we have some $G$ which is $P'\times P_\delta$-generic such that $G', G_\delta\in M[G]$. But then $M[G']\subseteq M[G]$, so $G_\alpha\in M[G]$ for all $\alpha<\delta$.]
Related questions:
1) What happens if we restrict to c.c.c. posets?
2) What happens if we specify $\beta=2$?
3) What happens if we try to generalize to other kinds of supports?
I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, but I've thought about this for a while now with no success.

During these big cold fronts my favorite lure is a medium shrimp on the lightest jighead I can use that will just keep the bait on the bottom during my ultra-slow retrieve.
Too heavy a jig will foul the shrimp by forcing it down into the vegetation. Our crew is using, long 15-20 pound leaders with 1/16 to 1/8 ounce standup jigheads. It keeps the shrimp upright as I ever so slowly and slightly hop and rest, hop and rest my shrimp back to the boat. Don't be afraid to let the bait sit on bottom for 30 seconds or more before the next twitch or hop. Patience and super slow retrieves win.
Bite off the shrimp's fantail and rig it so that the shrimp is retrieved backwards. This does three things. Allows the hook rigging, lets the shrimp bleed or put off scent into the water, and causes the shrimp to not spin on the cast. They can be rigged hook exposed, or Texas worm rig style, burying the hook in the shrimp for a weedless presentation.

Here again the line watcher scores as some hits cause only a slight "tic" or subtle movement in the line signaling a hit as that cold and sluggish 25-pound snook inhales your bait. If a winter redfish comes along then it's a no-brainer as cold has less effect on these tough guys that never pass up an easy meal. Use Hi-viz yellow lines to up your score as the fish don't care about line color, just fishermen.
Sheepshead are here so get your electric fillet knife warmed up for these tasty jailbirds. Causeway piers, phosphate docks at Boca Grande, or basically any structure will hold these guys that can get big (over 10 pounds), and that are masters of bait thievery.
The Florida Sportsman Expo is Feb 1-2 at the Lee Civic Center. This is a great event featuring "show specials" on tackle, electronics, and general fishing gear. The offshore and inshore seminars are usually top notch and the novice to pro angler can always pick up tips and techniques from the pros and factory reps in attendance. Some of these seminars are lengthy, so bringing a small notebook will help you remember relevant information that you can apply on your next outing.
On your next fishing trip use that same notebook to record all the cuts, channels, humps, bumps, ditches, bars, deep points, and deep holes revealed by our cold water period, negative tides (very low water). All of these are potential hotspots we drive over during summer's high water, and never fish, are now plainly visible for you to record with notes, GPS and cameras. Go to Goggle Earth to add more knowledge to your base.
Bass pros coined the phrase "the spot on the spot," simply meaning once on your spot or fishing area that you believe fish to be in, there is a sweet spot or something different or attractive to the fish that will draw or concentrate them. It may be current break, a slight depth change, structure, overhead cover, or a combination of factors.
On a 12-inch deep flat that you know holds fish a 20-inch deep, 20- foot long ditch can be a fish magnet. This extra depth seems inconsequential, but can be a total game changer. This same little underwater ditch on a relatively featureless flat can hold a pod of 50-pound tarpon or a school of trout. Once found, your new hotspot can be fished successfully season after season, during both high and low water conditions. Share them or keep them secret, now's the time to take a little time from your fishing and spend time looking.
With limited time and obscene gas prices the goal is max bang for your buck. Successful anglers are prepared and knowledgeable about their quarry, tides, weather effects, tackle, terrain, and seasonal movements.

My due date to have my baby is tomorrow, but I don't think she/he will be on time. My last 2 were late so I figure this one will be too. You never know though...
Pretty much just puttering around the house, keeping it low key. I am getting excited to meet the newest member of our family.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

My Octet's debut recording, Pathways, comes out at the end of March [3/23] but I actually formed the group in 2001 for a tour of Britain that was sponsored by the British Arts Council. I had always loved the sound of the Duke Ellington small groups, often with a 5 horn front-line plus the rhythm section. The combination of 2 brass and 3 saxes gives access to a wide range of textures and colors and allows a composer to evoke the sound of a big band or create the more intimate sound of a small group.
I also wanted a project that would include at it's core my regular working quintet (Robin Eubanks, Steve Nelson, Chris Potter, and Nate Smith) and build the music around what we had already developed as a small group. The additional horns gave me some different compositional options but equally important, the personal sound, style and creative approaches of Antonio Hart (alto), Gary Smulyan (baritone) and Alex Sipiagin (trumpet) add a great deal to the creative mix.
For those that have followed my recording career, know that I often revisit compositions I have recorded at different stages in my career. Over the years, one of the things that has changed is my approach to playing them. Writing the song is just a starting point and after that the improvisor develops different ways of interpreting it. There are some compositions that seem to remain relevant and that continue to evolve. On Pathways, I chose two older pieces, "Shadow Dance" and "How's Never?" The former was on Jumpin In', my debut recording with my first working band over 25 years ago. The latter I first played with the Gateway trio with Jack DeJohnette and John Abercrombie.
The album was recorded at Birdland, where I recorded with my quintet for the album Extended Play. Niklaus Troxler contributed the cover artwork as he has on my previous three releases on Dare2 Records. You'll be able to pre-order the album from my website here shortly. It will be available in a standard CD edition, PLUS an edition limited to 1000 copies, and as a download (MP3, Apple Lossless, or FLAC). If you pre-order a physical copy, you'll get an immediate download of the album. Stay tuned for more information coming shortly.

The Office of the Registrar staff is responsible for all aspects of student registration and academic records. The primary functions of the office include schedule preparation, registration, grades processing, exam administration and certification of attendance. The registrar is the custodian of student records. Additional forms for students' use are located in the registrar's section of the student portal.
Former and current students of the Law School may have access to their law transcripts. There is no fee for this service. Transcripts may be obtained in hard copy (official or unofficial) or in an electronic pdf version (only available for unofficial transcripts).
Former students may complete and submit the transcript request form or request a transcript in person at the Office of the Registrar.
Current students may complete the request form available in the student portal or may print/view their unofficial transcript on their PeopleSoft student administration account.
For requests for transcripts from other schools within UConn, please visit their website.
Students enrolled as candidates for some graduate degrees, members of the bar, and Connecticut residents over the age of 62 may audit courses with the consent of the faculty member and the assistant dean for admissions and student affairs. Under special circumstances, students with a J.D. may take classes as a "special student" on a pass/fail basis with approval from the Graduate Law Program Director and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Individuals requesting permission to become an auditor or special student should consult the schedule of courses before submitting this form. Auditors and special students must pay the regular tuition and fees for courses. Auditors and special students are not permitted to apply for admission to the J.D. program during the year in which they are attending classes.
The privileges of an auditor in a course are limited specifically to attending and listening. The auditor assumes no obligation to do any of the work required of the course and is not expected to take any of the instructor's time. In addition, the auditor does not submit any work, and is not eligible to take any tests or examinations nor to receive grades on all or any part of the course. If a person who is not enrolled at the School of Law is granted permission to audit a course and subsequently applies and is granted admission to the School of Law, this course (or courses) cannot be taken for credit after matriculation. The privileges of a special student in a course are to complete all work and exams for the course. Work is graded on a pass/fail basis. Work completed as a special student is not normally approved for credit in the LL.M. program. Any student seeking credit for individual courses taken prior to admission to the LL.M. program may apply to the Petitions Committee for the award of credit for the course. The Petitions Committee does not consider any such application for credit until the student has satisfactorily completed the equivalent of one full time semester of work at the Law School. In accordance with C.G.S.A. Sec. 10a-155, full time students born after December 31, 1956 must provide proof of adequate immunization before they are permitted to enroll. Audit Course Request Form »
Many bar applications can be lengthy and time consuming to prepare. Most states have as part of their required forms a certification of the dean or degree awarded and a character and fitness review. Forms for this purpose are completed by the staff in the Office of the Registrar. Tentative graduates are invited to the office to complete the authorization necessary for the forms required to be sent by the School of Law. Graduates may send their required forms directly to the Office of the Registrar for completion.
The staff in the Office of the Registrar schedules and administers all in-class and take home examinations given at the School of Law. The date and time of the exam is posted along with other course details at the time of course registration. Students are responsible for compliance with all deadlines surrounding the use of exam software and deviation requests as well as verifying the location of the exam and all related exam procedure.
New 1L J.D. students to the School of Law are placed in their fall semester courses by the staff in the Office of the Registrar. After the 1L year, J.D. students self-select courses via the student administration system, in accordance with Law School priority registration policies. New LL.M. students are enrolled by the Office of the Registrar staff in their required courses during their first term of study as well; other course selections are determined in collaboration with the LL.M. students academic advisors. S.J.D. students are enrolled in their research credits by the staff in the Office of the Registrar. All other students make their curricular choices according to personal interest and course availability.
Verification of enrollment (for employers, insurance companies, other institutions of higher education, as well as for many other entities) of degree completion is often needed by former and current students. Unless specified otherwise, all enrollment verifications will include: (1) student's full name; (2) dates of attendance; (3) Status (active, on leave, completed, etc.); (4) study load (full or part time); (5) program of study and (6) anticipated date of graduation or completion date.
If forms have been provided to individuals from another source, these forms may be brought to the registrar's office. Please leave any dates of attendance fields blank as the staff in the registrar's office will complete this information. Students who do not require enrollment verification on School of Law letterhead may produce their own using the resources offered by the PeopleSoft student administration system.
Requestors should complete the enrollment verification request form and mail, email, fax or bring their enrollment verification request form directly to the registrar's office.
Submit this on-line form if you have been on an approved leave from the School of Law and are now ready to return. This form will serve to notify the various administrative departments of your return so that we can prepare your account and various tech systems for your return. Request to Resume Legal Studies Online Form »
The registrar's office compiles statistics relating to student demographics, course enrollment, class profiles and Connecticut Bar Exam passage rates. Many reports are currently available on the Law School website. Anyone needing assistance with additional reports is asked to please contact the staff in the Office of the Registrar directly.
The registrar's office maintains a directory of forms in both PDF and on line submission formats. Some are also available in hard copy at the registrar's office or by contacting us directly. These forms are used primarily by current students to obtain authorization and update student records. Commonly used forms are available to non-matriculating members of the community here. The complete directory is available for current student use through the student portal.

Ponce de León, Juan
Juan Ponce de León (pŏns də lē´ŏn, Span. hwän pōn´thā dā lāōn´), c.1460–1521, Spanish explorer, first Westerner to reach Florida. He served against the Moors of Granada, and in 1493 he accompanied Columbus on his second voyage to America. From 1502 to 1504 he assisted in the conquest of Higuey (the eastern part of Hispaniola, now the Dominican Republic) and was made governor of that province. After finding gold on Boriquén (Puerto Rico) in 1508, he conquered the island and, as governor (1509–12), made a fortune in gold, slaves, and land.
Hearing tales from the Carib of a wonderfully rich island called Bimini, said to be N of Cuba, Ponce de León secured a commission (1512) to conquer and colonize that land. The legend that he was seeking a spring whose waters could restore youth (the "Fountain of Youth" ) appears to have been fabricated after his death by one of his enemies at court to discredit the explorer. From Puerto Rico on Mar. 3, 1513, with three vessels, he sailed NE through the Bahamas, sighting the Florida peninsula (which he took to be an island) late in March and landing near the site of St. Augustine early in April. Probably because his arrival in Florida occurred at the time of the Easter feast (Pascua Florida), Ponce de León named the land (which he claimed for Spain) La Florida. He turned south, exploring the coast to Key West, and proceeded up the west coast as far as Cape Romano. Then, retracing his route, he sailed to Miami Bay via Cuba and from there returned to Puerto Rico, arriving Sept. 21, 1513.
After partly pacifying Puerto Rico, which had been in revolt, he sailed to Spain, where the king commissioned him (Sept., 1514) to subdue the Carib of Guadeloupe and to conquer and colonize the "isle of Florida." In 1515 he led an unsuccessful expedition against the Carib and returned to Puerto Rico, where he resided until 1521. With two vessels, 200 men, 50 horses and other domestic animals, and farm implements, he sailed for Florida in 1521. Upon landing on the west coast, probably in the vicinity of Charlotte Harbor or Tampa Bay, his party was fiercely attacked by Native Americans, and he was severely wounded by an arrow. The expedition sailed immediately for Cuba, where Ponce de León soon died.

We're in the last week of February, which I believe means it's time to start thinking about this year's Cookout. It's hard to believe that it's three months away from next week (tentative Thursday, June 2 through Sunday, June 5, 2011).
The 2004-08 Cookouts were in St. Louis, MO.
The 2009 Cookout was in Nashville, TN.
The 2010 Cookout was in Omaha, NE.
The 2011 Cookout has no set location at this time.
