On May 23 and 24, over 60 advocates descended upon Washington D.C. to demonstrate support for Puget Sound salmon and orca recovery efforts. Counties, state agencies, tribes, conservation groups, non-profits, and businesses were greeted by the co-founders of the Congressional Puget Sound Recovery Caucus, Congressmen Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer, and had the opportunity to directly meet and engage with our state's Senators and other Representatives and federal agency officials.
Puget Sound Day on the Hill (PSDOH) began in 2015. It has grown in participation and made the Puget Sound a recognized Estuary of National Significance bringing federal funding that has supported the Puget Sound Partnership, grown capacity across the region for project development and invested millions of dollars in habitat restoration projects. This attention prompted federal agencies to form the Puget Sound Federal Task Force that is administered through a memorandum of agreement and associated action plan that aligns federal recovery work with state and local priorities.
Similar to previous years, PSDOH participants asked that Congress continue funding three primary programs that support Puget Sound recovery- the Puget Sound Geographic Program, National Estuary Program and Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. These programs fund critical projects that assist recovery efforts by prioritizing projects that prevent stormwater pollution, protect and restore priority salmon habitats, reopen shellfish beds, and reduce flooding. Priority projects are identified in the Action Agenda as Near Term Actions (NTAs) and are primarily funded through these sources. Funding can be directly awarded to project sponsors such as a Local Integrating Organization (LIO) or through a competitive process that is managed by the Strategic Initiative Leads.
In addition to these programs, attention was given to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's voluntary conservation programs for working lands which also make important contributions to Puget Sound recovery. These programs help reduce soil erosion, enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce damages caused by floods and other natural disasters.
Specifically, the funding ask for the Fiscal Year 2019 was for, at a minimum, the following funding levels to be included in a final appropriations budget:
- Puget Sound Geographic Program (Managed by the EPA)- $28 million. This program has been essential to carrying out the large-scale, regional, federally approved recovery plan for Puget Sound (Puget Sound Action Agenda). Extensive partner engagement lies at the foundation of the recovery plan, and the actions it includes are technically reviewed, ranked, and tracked for results by the Puget Sound Partnership.
- National Estuary Program (Managed by the EPA)- $700,000. Like the lead agencies and organizations for the other 27 designated Estuaries of National Significance around the country, the Puget Sound Partnership receives critical sustaining support from the NEP funds.
- Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (Administered by NOAA)- $65 million. This is a multi-state, multi-tribe program that has provided crucial support for salmon recovery efforts throughout the Pacific coast region.
While participants were in D.C., they learned that the House Appropriations Committee recommendation sustained these funding levels. While a funding increase is ideally sought, maintaining current funding levels is a win considering earlier budget proposals did not appropriate funds for these programs. Participants described the numerous challenges of not having predictable and sustained funding sources and why a final appropriations budget is necessary. Many members of Congress are not optimistic that budget and policy priorities will align in the near future to pass one and likely will result in another continuing budget resolution.
Special thanks are given to San Juan County Councilmember and Coastal Counties Caucus Chair Jamie Stephens, Jefferson County Commissioner Kate Dean, Pierce County Councilmember Derek Young and Jill Wood of Island County Public Health. These four helped carry the message of County government's role, responsibilities and investments in Puget Sound recovery and the economic vitality recovery brings to Counties that value natural resource industries in their communities.

Talk about a sweet celeb parenting pair!
Sandra Bullock and 2-year-old son Louis along with Camila Alves McConaughey and her kids—4-year-old Levi and 2-year-old Vida—stepped out together Tuesday in New Orleans to watch the Warren Easton Charter High School marching band and drill team perform.
Although the 48-year-old Crash actress briefly dated Camila's hubby, Matthew McConaughey, back in the '90s, the gal-pals proved there are no hard feelings as they enjoyed the show together.

In a new Mercatus Center survey ranking American states according to the freedom of their citizens, New York found itself dead last. The survey ranked states based on "fiscal policy, regulatory policy, and personal freedom [and weighed] public policies according to the estimated costs that government restrictions on freedom impose on their victims." A new provision buried in the latest budget out of the New York State legislature perfectly illustrates what earned New York this ranking.
According to reports, this budgetary provision will guarantee an increase in the state's minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 per hour and taxpayers will be footing a significant portion of the bill until 2016. Unfortunately for taxpayers, the terms of the agreement were made during closed-door negotiations and will not become public until after the provision is passed as part of the state's budget. The Associated Press reports that "early estimates are between $20 million and $40 million, with no cap on the total." Given the outcry that would've been made if these negotiations were made public, it's understandable (though completely undemocratic) for Governor Cuomo and state legislatures to reach this agreement hidden from voters.
Even liberals are uncomfortable with the plan, though not exactly for all the right reasons. Frank Mauro of the progressive Fiscal Policy Institute told the AP "You are kind of flying blind on this" and said "[the credit] flies in the face of sound tax policy, good labor market practice, or common sense." Mauro's concerns with the credit center on the fact that it will only benefit seasonal workers under the age of 20, which could displace older workers with students. These are valid criticisms of the plan, but they don't even scratch the surface of what is most problematic about the very idea of redistributing the wealth of some to the paychecks of others.
What Mauro and others quoted in the AP story don't say, but what is painfully obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of human history, is that what the New York State legislature is proposing is socialism, pure and simple. Students making less than $9 an hour will now have part of their salaries at fast-food restaurants and department stores paid by New York's taxpayers. The wealth of hardworking New Yorkers will be redistributed to lower paid high school and college students frying burgers at their first jobs. While those crafting this legislation may be thinking that they're just gouging the "fat-cats" paying taxes in the more wealthy parts of the state like New York City, they will also be siphoning off the salaries of hardworking New Yorkers in the rural areas north of Westchester county. As wealth distribution goes, this is especially uninspiring, as money will be taken from the salaries of mothers and fathers in Rochester and deposited into paychecks of teenagers working at H&M on 34th Street.
Scott Reif, spokesman for the Senate's Republican conference, called this plan part of a larger budgetary compromise. State Republicans, not to mention Democrats, making agreements like these is the reason why the Mercatus Center has deemed New York State the least free state in the union. If these lawmakers find themselves wondering why they have fewer taxpayers to gouge in coming years, they will have no one to blame but themselves. The outward migration of New Yorkers to more hospitable economic climates was already underway and closed-door decisions like these will only fuel the trend further.

Downloads about Strategy Deployment, Portfolios, Programs, and Projects
Setting Strategic Direction @ PMI-PDX 2016 Conference
If an organization doesn't know where it wants to get to, having the best project management in the world doesn't matter. Lewis Carroll said it well: "Alice said to the Cheshire Cat: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to, said the Cat. I don't much care where -, said Alice. Then it doesn't matter which way you walk, said the Cat." Therefore, this conference session introduces strategic planning concepts and techniques so you know how this key management activity shapes projects. (August 2016)
Flexible Project Management @ PMI-PDX 2015 Conference
Agile methods have revolutionized IT and software development projects, bringing impressive successes, especially in volatile or uncertain environments. Unfortunately, Agile doesn't translate directly to non-software projects. This conference session will show you how to reinterpret what Agile has done so you can manage chaotic non-software projects successfully. (August 2015)
How to Leverage the Fuzzy Front End
The early stages of a project can be hugely innovative or very painful. In Harvard Management Update, Loren Gary says, "Studies of exceptional project managers in fast time-to-market industries show that the initial phase of a complex project, often referred to as the fuzzy front end, has a disproportionately large impact on the end results."1 In this session, Jeff Oltmann will summarize a formal framework for encouraging innovation during the fuzzy front end. (May 2015)
How to Rescue Troubled Projects
Projects are hard. Many critical projects struggle or even fail, so at some point you will have to rescue a project that got into trouble. This is usually a high-visibility, nail-biting experience. This presentation will show you techniques to stabilize, diagnose, and repair a damaged project. It will show you what to watch out for, how to get quick victories, and mistakes to avoid. (January 2014)
What Should a PMO Be? – The Sequel
Several years ago, I wrote an article on the various forms that a Project Management Office (PMO) can take. Since then I have continued to work with new clients to implement PMO's. The time seems ripe for an update. (November 2017)
How to Connect Projects to Strategic Objectives
Connecting the dots is surprisingly hard, especially the strategy and execution dots. Writing a causal hierarchy while chartering a new project forces you to think through specific and measurable cause and effect relationships that explicitly show how your project will deliver results with strategic impact. (October 2017)
Critical Chain Project Management in Healthcare
(Guest article by Paul Wilkens) Wilkens analyzes the application of Goldratt's Theory of Constraints for project management (TOC-PM) to healthcare projects. He concludes that TOC-PM is not directly applicable because of two unique characteristics of healthcare. However, TOC and critical chain concepts are still useful because they provide focusing questions that force participants to carefully consider resource availability, process interdependence, project precedence, and the relationship of throughput to other measures of success. (September 2017)
Seeking Good Sponsors!
"Uninformed sponsors – sponsors in name only – are of little help to project managers when obstacles arise." – So says Eric Verzuh, one of my favorite authors on projects. (August 2015)
Build an Environment of Accountability
Often leaders ask me how to improve accountability within their project-based organization. However, that same leader may be contributing to the accountability problem without realizing it. (June 2015)
My Management Beliefs
Five core beliefs guide my thinking about the best ways to manage projects. (March 2014)
Stop Email Abuse!
In many organizations, email abuse is even worse than meeting abuse. Here are my seven favorite ground rules for project-related email. (July 2013)
Agile vs. Traditional: an Unnecessary War
There's a war raging. On one side are ardent agilists, who advocate managing projects using methods such as Scrum and XP. On the other side are traditionalists, who prefer waterfall methods. (February 2013)
Communication Techniques for Managing Expectations
Complement informal relationship building by using formal project communication techniques that keep the right people informed about important project information. (May 2012)
Avoid Lightning Bolts by Building Informal Relationships
To survive tough projects, project leaders must excel at managing expectations. They must deliberately forge informal relationships, establish trust-worthiness, and be a truth teller. (December 2011)

Building a Flexibility Toolbox (Part 4/4 of Flexible Projects with Preston Smith)
Managing a project in a flexible way violates many assumptions and behaviors that project managers usually bring to a project. Here's how to build a flexibility toolbox. (March 2011)
Creating a Flexible Environment (Part 3/4 of Flexible Projects with Preston Smith)
Flexibility is not a universal blessing. It is a set of tools and techniques that can be applied to projects selectively to deal with uncertainty or the anticipated changes in a certain part of the project. (February 2011)
Enabling a Flexible Team (Part 2/4 of Flexible Projects with Preston Smith)
You have heard before that people are the most important factor in a project, but this is so essential that we would like to provide some compelling evidence for the criticality of people. (January 2011)
What Should a Project Management Office (PMO) Be?
Project Management Offices have been all the rage for several years, because they can coordinate project activity across an organization, thus increasing efficiency, project success rates, and bottom line results. But the "PMO in a box" approach doesn't work. (December 2010)
Flexible Project Management: Extending Agile Techniques beyond Software Projects (Proceedings of the 2010 PMI Global Congress)
We describe the environment that supports flexible development, including people and team factors, keeping options open, making decisions at the last responsible moment, and creating flexible processes. Then we show how flexible project management contrasts with mainstream project management, specifically how you manage changing requirements, plan a project that is certain to change, and how you manage risk in such a project. (October 2010)
Agile Isn't Just for Software (Part 1/4 of Flexible Projects)
Agile isn't just for software developers, but applying it to other types of projects requires extra creativity. (September 2010)
Learn from Projects or Perish
Retrospectives are a structured way to gather "lessons learned" from those who know best. Unfortunately, they are unnatural. (March 2010)
Portfolio Monitoring and Governance (Part 5/5 of Project Portfolio Management: The Art of Saying "No")
Monitor the portfolio, manage changes and tradeoffs across projects, and ensure that a governance framework clearly establishes responsibilities. (January 2010)
Backpacker's Guide to Lightweight Project Management
Newcomers to project management often feel overwhelmed because the field has accumulated extensive technical knowledge.

(January 2010)
How to Get Things Done
Some projects get off to a fast start, but soon lose momentum and become mired. You can do two things to avoid this fate on the projects you lead. (November 2009)
Adapting Project Management to a Low Maturity Organization (Proceedings of the 2009 PMI Global Congress)
SiTech was in a brutally competitive business, but many of its projects were not successful. This paper describes how SiTech designed a simple project and portfolio management system that is appropriate for an organization with low project management maturity and a culture focused on operations, not projects. (October 2009)
Four Steps to Conquer Lousy Project Meetings
Far from sapping productivity, a well-run meeting is often the most effective way to get work done. (September 2009)
Keeping Your Portfolio Balanced (Part 4/5 of Project Portfolio Management: The Art of Saying "No")
Check balance and feasibility before initiating the portfolio. (August 2009)

Strategic Alignment (Part 2/5 of Project Portfolio Management: The Art of Saying "No")
Agree on a critical few criteria that your organization will use to evaluate projects for inclusion in its portfolio. (June 2009)
Decisions When Starting Development of a New Product
Developing a new product or deploying a new system is tough to do well. There are hundreds of things to consider at the outset of the development, and just one poor decision can doom the entire effort. (June 2009)
Six Steps to Better Delegation
Bad delegation is rampant in project organizations. Even if you are not the chief executive, delegation is a crucial project leadership skill for your career. (May 2009)
Overview of Project Portfolio Management (Part 1/5 of The Art of Saying "No")
When an organization tries to do too much, all projects suffer from delays, cost overruns, or poor quality. (April 2009)
Quality as Delighter
Quality failures are expensive. They cause rework and re-do, leading to lost customers, poor productivity, and unhappy employees. (March 2009)
Pre-Mortems: Hype or Innovation?
In a recent Harvard Business Review article, Gary Klein suggests an interesting approach to identifying risks at the beginning of a project. He calls it a premortem, riffing on the postmortem that engineering teams usually run at the end of a project. (January 2009)
Get Your Team on the Bus
Project leaders can't go it alone - they need an effective team. Here are four way to build a team. (January 2009)
This Project Needs a Leader - Now!
Technical competency is not the most important skill for a project manager. Neither is building a good schedule, nor monitoring issues and tracking down open action items. First and foremost, project managers must be effective leaders. (November 2008)
Project Portfolio Management: How to Do the Right Projects at the Right Time (Proceedings of the 2008 PMI Global Congress)
Project and program management are about execution and delivery - doing projects right. Project portfolio management is fundamentally different. It focuses on doing the right projects at the right time by selecting and managing projects as a portfolio of investments. (October 2008)
Ten Tips to Make Change Work for You
Customers change their minds. Competitors zig instead of zagging. Technology advances. Change is constant, and prohibiting it on projects does not work. (September 2008)
Well Run Projects Are Not Enough
Even a project "done right" can be damaging if it was not the right project to do in the first place. How can an organization decide which projects are the right ones to do? (May 2008)
Driving Projects to Successful Completion
Even with a solid foundation of good planning, the execution and control phase of a project can be very dangerous. To survive, manage it with closed loop corrective action. (March 2008)
Advanced Risk Management
Traditional risk management is not enough to deal with the turbulence and rapid rate of change surrounding modern projects. (November 2007)
Stuff Happens: Dealing With Risks
Murphy gleefully surprises all projects, causing significant peril to schedules, budgets, and other business objectives. Disciplined risk management is crucial to preventing these perils, but few companies are capable of it. (September 2007)
Are Plans Useless?
Does your organization tend to create useless plans? These seven questions of planning will help you create an effective, flexible plan without getting mired in planning paralysis. (May 2007)
What Makes Projects Succeed?
Seven factors distinguish the few projects that are fully successful from the majority that are either impaired or cancelled. (March 2007)
How to Sabotage a Project Schedule
Persistently late projects are a consistent theme at many companies. No matter how much buffer is in a project schedule, it never seems to be enough. Why doesn't adding more buffer improve the odds of completing a project early or on time? (January 2007)
Think Like an Investor: Building a Business Case
Each person who proposes, leads, or approves projects should understand the basic elements of a business case. Creating a good business case just takes common sense and a willingness to dig and ask thoughtful questions. (January 2007)
Recovering Troubled Projects
Since troubled projects are widespread and expensive, you may be asked to rescue several of them during your career. How can you succeed at this intimidating challenge? Let me share some tips I've learned. (November 2006)
Stakeholder Commitment
Even though the Access+ IT project used previously proven technology, it was an "accident waiting to happen." Stakeholder commitment was abysmal and political games abounded. Unfortunately, project managers often do not manage stakeholders well in situations like this. The stakes are high, so here is a five-step process to help you. (September 2006)
The Impossible Dream
Call it "The Impossible Dream." You have been handed a project with impossible, immoveable constraints. How do you handle this situation? (May 2006)
Project Portfolio Management - The Art of Saying "No"
Nearly all organizations have more project work to do than they have people and money to do the work. Frequently they try to fix this problem by cramming more work onto the calendars of already overworked project teams or by cutting corners during the project. These short-term fixes mask the underlying problem and don't work for long. (March 2006)
Projects miss their original time and cost estimates for many reasons. Although external changes or unpredictable surprises cause some of these misses, often the original estimates were just plain wrong. (January 2006)
Glance Management
Many projects are too fluid, with too many nuances, for tried-and-true written and formal monitoring methods like status reports, milestone analysis, and earned value to show a complete picture. (November 2005)
Project Retrospectives
Retrospectives are a recognized best practice for learning and continuous improvement in project-based organizations. (September 2005)
Project Governance Considerations
Effective project governance systems are not created ad-hoc. Here are some things to consider when building a project governance system and handbook. (September 2004)
Navigating the Fuzzy Front End of Product Development
The root cause of new product failures can often be traced back to the earliest stages of the project, sometimes called the "fuzzy front end". (March 2004)
Design Review Best Practices Research
The best design reviews have a focused purpose, are structured, involve the right people, continually improve the process, are integrated with the design process, and are congruent with the organization. (November 2003)
Valuing IT Projects
IT projects are often another level removed from traditional sales and profit metrics. What important criteria do you consider for proposed IT projects? (October 2003)

What is modular construction?
Structural Insulated Panels with a difference
Structex panels comprise of a minimum of 100mm thick insulation layer, sandwiched between two layers of concrete. The inner layer is structural, with a paint-ready inner face and the outer layer provides the cladding, giving you the option of an external finish of any desired style, including brick, tiling, stone, render or any combination therein.
Whilst the use of twin wall is not new, the design and manufacture adopted in this method of construction offers a number of advantages over other precast systems, which tend to be constrained to a particular size, and limit flexibility. The design services offered by the Structex team make the design fit the system, rather than the other way round.

Hanshin Tigers lose out on another player, Brad Thomas
by Gen on Dec.08, 2009 @ 9:04 am, under NPB
Tags: Brad Thomas, Foreign Interest, Hanshin Tigers, Randy Messenger
The minute an MLB team started showing interest in Brad Thomas, the Hanshin Tigers were likely the last thing on his mind. And so for the second time this off-season, the Tigers have failed in signing a player they were coveting.
Thomas will be signing a contract with the Detroit Tiger.
Via MLB.com:
Thomas, who last pitched in the Majors with the Twins in 2004, returns to the states after pitching the past four seasons in the Far East. The 32-year-old went 5-11 with 44 saves and a 2.86 ERA over the past two seasons combined for Hanwha of the Korean Baseball Organization. He struck out 119 batters over 113 1/3 innings.
The question now is, how sure are the Tigers, Hanshin that is, are in being able to obtain Randy Messenger.
The Tigers better hope the old Japanese saying of "bad things come in threes" doesn't end up rearing it's ugly head now.
And is it just me that finds this excruciatingly amusing that the Detroit Tigers were the lucky winners in the Thomas sweepstakes.
How's that for irony.
Or would that just be a cruel coincidence?

The TalkingArch basic installation tutorial is now available at the new Blind-Planet website. Any problems anyone may have had downloading or listening to the files available from the tutorial page should be resolved now, as the Blind-Planet website hosts only mp3 files. The Blind-Planet posting for this tutorial can be found here.
TalkingArch Basic Installation tutorial is up
TalkingArch now has an audio tutorial page. The first audio tutorial covers a basic installation of the Arch Linux base system using the TalkingArch live CD, from booting the live CD and partitioning the disk up to creating the regular user account and rebooting into the newly installed and fully functional Arch Linux base system. More tutorials will likely be added to this page in the future, and this blog will be updated whenever anything new is added. These audio tutorials are available as HTML5 audio players in browsers that support them, and download links are also available in browsers that are incompatible with HTML5, such as old Firefox versions and text-based browsers such as Lynx. Also, both opus and Ogg Vorbis versions are available, depending on the browser or personal preference.
Ideas for future audio tutorials can be sent to support [at] talkingarch [dot] tk or left in the comments for this post.
2014.02.02 was a false start, trying again
OK, it seems that the pick-a-card recorded message and beep didn't get built into yesterday's iso. So we're trying again. We now have TalkingArch 2014.02.03 up on the download page.
If you already have TalkingArch 2014.02.02 and it's working for you, do nothing, your iso is fine. Otherwise, if sound is broken or if you need to install to a system that has multiple sound cards, 2014.02.03 will fix your problem, as it includes the sounds necessary to make the pick-a-card script work correctly. All new visitors to the download page will see the 2014.02.03 live CD until the next release, which will follow the next official Arch Linux snapshot.
TalkingArch 2014.02.02 released

Canon T4i Release Date aka Rebel 650D – Full Specs Leaked 0
The Canon T4i release date has been set for tomorrow, June 8, 2012, but the camera may as well be announced today. Rumors (if you can still call them that) are brewing fast and essentially every detail about the camera has been leaked. I'll be very surprised if we learn anything new tomorrow.
Canon T4i Release Date Specs
You can view the full specs on the CanonRumors page but the highlights are an 18MP APS-C sensor, SDHC memory card slot, 9 cross type focus points and shooting at 5 fps. And of course the star of the show, a touchscreen LCD. The specs aren't much different in terms of raw numbers, but overall image quality should be improved thanks to newer tech inside the camera.
Video Specs
The Canon T4i will be able to shoot video in full HD (1920×1080) at a frame rate of 30p, 25p or 24p. The camera will also come with a video snapshot feature which shoots for a pre-defined set of time (2,4 or 8 seconds). Audio can be captured in stereo by the built in microphone or using an external mic with a 3.5″ jack.
Canon Rebel T4i Touchscreen
Canon Rumors has just posted two videos showing the touchscreen on the new camera. It's look pretty nice and beats flipping through menus and settings with a joystick and selector dial. Considering that the touch screen patent was first filed way back in 2009, it's been a long time coming.
The touchscreen will allow you to select menu items, scroll through images and zoom in/out (like on a smart phone) and choosing focus points. Even though I was a bit skeptical to the idea of a touch screen on a DSLR, it's growing on me and I think the tech may seem as natural, and useful, as a touch screen on a phone in a short amount of time.

Rhody Starters
Ross, Wilson, Banker, Ward, Tabakman
Columbia Staters
Giuliamo, Mead, Zimmerman, Surloff, Oliver
How it Happened
After a first quarter that featured four lead changes and three ties, Rhode Island (5-4) found itself up 23-17 midway through the second period. However, Columbia (6-4) then used back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers to spark an 11-2 run that sent URI into the break trailing 28-25.
The Rams took their first lead of the third quarter after four straight points from Symone Bullard made it 40-39 Rhode Island with 2:36 remaining. The Lions made another late push though, using Emily Surloff's third trey of the game to end the frame on top 46-44.
With Columbia up by four (48-44) in the final quarter, the Rams held the Lions scoreless for the next four an a half minutes while using a 7-0 run to reclaim the lead at 51-48. Rhody then found itself on the opposite end of an 8-0 spurt as Columbia moved ahead 56-51 with 1:33 to go. That was the end of the scoring for the Lions though, as a free throw by Tayra Melendez, followed by five straight points from Bullard, gave URI the 57-56 victory.
Inside the Box Score
- Senior Symone Bullard finished with 11 points - including the final five which allowed the Rams to rally back from a 56-52 deficit in the game's final 46 seconds. She also added a pair of rebounds, two steals and an assist in 21 minutes on the floor.
- Senior Samantha Tabakman finished with 13 points and 16 rebounds. The double-double - which came before halftime - was her third in a row, fifth of the season and eighth of her career.
- In two games this week, Tabakman averaged 12.5 points, 17.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks.
- Senior Tayra Melendez also double-doubled for the Rams, finishing with 10 points and a season-best 11 boards. She also added two blocks, an assist and a big-time steal with 55 seconds remaining in regulation.
- Sophomore Charise Wilson registered a game-high 15 points, four steals, two assists and four rebounds. She has now recorded four-or-more steals in five of Rhody's nine games this season.
- Sophomore Dominique Ward had a pair of blocks for the Rams, including one with just 16 seconds left in the game. She also had seven points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal.
- The win marked Rhody's first-ever over the Lions as the Rams dropped the only other meeting between the teams, 79-69, in overtime last season.
Stats of the Game
- 56 - Rhode Island held Columbia to just 56 points on the afternoon - 13 fewer than the Lions' season scoring average of 69.0 points per game. Only No. 17 Arizona State held Columbia to fewer points (49) through the team's 10 games this season.
- 57 - The Rams have scored 57 points in each game during their three-game winning streak.
What's Next
Rhode Island returns to the Ryan Center to take on Providence on Sunday, Dec. 20. Game time is 2 p.m.

Environment & Waterways Alliance launch website and 5 year plan
28 October 2015The Central West Councils Environment & Waterways Alliance (the Alliance) is a partnership of
19 Councils across the Central West of NSW, supported by Central Tablelands and Central West Local Land Services, working towards improving the natural and built environment of our region.
In 2015 the Alliance has continued to support its member Councils across the region through the provision of registered training, hosting of Stormwater 2015 – Stormwater Best Management Practice Conference, incentive funding to carry out on-ground works and other capacity building events.
Further to this, the Alliance has recently adopted the new name of the Environment & Waterways Alliance (formerly the Salinity & Water Quality Alliance), developed an Alliance website and prepared a new 5 Year Plan.
To celebrate these significant achievements the Alliance is hosting a launch event to promote these important resources to the member Councils of the Alliance.
"The Alliance is a great example of Councils across the Central West of NSW working together and supporting each other to improve the environmental outcomes of our region. It is a credit to all involved that this organisation of 19 Councils continues to grow and develop to meet the changing needs of its members," said Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Paul Toole, who will present at the launch event.
"The fact that this Alliance continues to be supported financially by both the Central Tablelands and Central West Local Land Services regions demonstrates the esteem with which these organisations hold the Alliance. I'm excited to see the practical on ground works continuing across my electorate with Bathurst, Lithgow and Oberon Councils all receiving funding to carry out important environmental works."
Representatives from Local Land Services will be attending the launch event with fact sheets available regarding the current projects that Local Land Services are funding for Alliance member councils.
The launch is being hosted by Bathurst Regional Council on Friday 6 November, 2015 with the Mayor and General Manager from each Alliance member council invited to attend.
You can view the new Environment & Waterways Alliance website.

How might inquiry enhance the professional practice of student and practising teachers, teacher educators and other practitioners? What effect might this have on the learning of young people in and outside of the classroom?
Based on the findings of an international colloquium and drawing upon a range of practices from the UK, USA, Canada, Europe and Australia, this book is designed to make explicit the connections between Practitioner Inquiry and Teacher Professional Learning in Initial Teacher Education and Ongoing Teacher Professional Development.
Considering issues such as
It brings together writers who work in designing teacher education courses, and those who are practice-based researchers and policy makers. Crucially, many of these writers inhabit both spheres, and their accounts of how they successfully combine their multiple roles will prove vital reading for all those involved in examining and improving practice leading to enhanced teacher professional learning.

Colorful Abstract Nail ArtHi Friends, how have you been? I feel like I am talking (or writing whatever!) to you guys after long. Although I have been regular in my posts, I wrote them like 15 days back and scheduled them. So I am writing one today after half a month or more. I must say, I missed it. I am having crazy busy days at work so I return home in half senses. Anyways, I don't want to rant here. I am writing this post on a happy note today because finally I did my twin nails with Anita. We chose an abstract intricate colourful design.
Anita blogs at Stylethosenails and I have not only been her friend for more than a year but also her fan. I adore her freehand and her honesty to nail art. We decided to do a twin nail long back but our busy schedule kept us from doing it. Bearing in mind that my twin nail had to be with Anita, I chose an intricate detailed design that I saw on Pinterest. I think I went a bit far because it was challenging indeed.
It took quite long to do all the detailing in the nail art, but I enjoyed it. I don't know if I have been able to recreate the pattern but it was an honest attempt. I have tried to pick up elements from this design and recreate it on my nails.
The nail art is totally freehand with acrylic paints. The base is Sally Hansen White On. It is one of the best intense white I have. I used Pure Color Brush No 9 for all the detailing work. The acrylic paints were sent by http://BornPrettyStore.com for review. They are a pack of 12 colors and come in tube. There are two things I like about these acrylic paints. One is that they are well pigmented, so colors don't die out when I dilute them. And secondly, they come in tubes so it very easy to work with them. I just have to squeeze a little to get them out, as opposed to digging from the bottled acrylic paints with brush.
On top of that they are light weight and easy to carry. I got them for review but you can buy it here. If you use coupon code HQBQ10 you can enjoy a sitewide 10% off.
Do let me know your thoughts on my nail art and also head over Stylethosenails to check out some great work by Anita.

Some album names call out for notice, Love, Lust and Genocide is one such album. Samuel Claiborne is a multi-talented man who participated in the music scene during the 80's, he was in bands such as The Wolves and When Things Fall Apart. Aside from music he has won several awards for poetry and has been published in the Voices of the Valley, Belle Fourche and more. Samuel Claiborne's new album dips into the strange but how deep does it go?
"Soldiers and police, I can't tell them apart."
First off, the album is just over 40 minutes with a total of nine tracks, one of them being a cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. Although he plays a vast array of instruments across this alternative rock album, Claiborne receives help from the True-Groove All-Stars when it comes to things like bass, drums, and backing vocals.
Each track has a lot to say, the album opener for example speaks to the topic of freedom and the lives of those in America. The track implements horns to lighten the mood and keep the focus on that strong alternative rock feel (guitar solo included).
"Hungering for Strange" adds more grunge to the mix and lets the listener in on a big secret, and that is how odd the album can get. Track three, "The Lion and the Lamb" is the most yawn-worthy song on the album, with a standard song structure and very repetitive chorus, the added strings in this track are the most redeeming quality.
Track four "Succulence (Blasphemy)" dives into the strange with slow spaced percussion and the most unexpected instruments of the album. Although different, this track fits the album theme exceptionally well. Track five is a cover of "Hurt" by Trent Reznor. The song makes excellent use of echo with electric guitar chords. Claiborne's vocals are rumbly enough to feel like the Johnny Cash rendition of the song more so than the original.
Track six "Broken" is very somber and honest. The distant guitar and brushes on the drums allow the focus to remain on the vocals which harmonize very well. The last three songs of the album use rhythm and spoken word to bring raw views to the listener in a direct and smooth fashion.
One thing that Claiborne does well is speaking; simply speaking. It might not sound flashy, but it is difficult to do tastefully as it goes through content much faster than singing and can make a track feel awkward and off beat.
"Our wars are all about honor."
The album holds more strength in its lyrical content than it actually does in its musical enjoyment. It is not hard to listen to by any means, but it is something more likely appreciated in big gaps, similar to the way a mature movie might carry meaning yet not be something to revisit often. The musical stylings of Claiborne stopped for over a decade due to a spinal cord injury. He has since recovered. Aside from music, Claiborne is known for his poetry, essays, photography and more. With his reemergence into music, alternative rock wins a victory with the addition of Love, Lust and Genocide. The album certainly has an ability to interest the listener with musical content not usually found in music.
Underground Examinations is a series of Independent Music Reviews with the intention of giving new music a fair and appropriate opportunity to be enjoyed.

text: Major capital improvements to a dwelling acquired before 20 September 1985Warning: This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances. End of attention If you acquired a dwelling before 20 September 1985 and you make major capital improvements after that date, part of any capital gain you make when a CGT event happens in relation to the dwelling could be taxable. Even though you acquired the dwelling before CGT started, major capital improvements are considered to be separate CGT assets from the original asset and may therefore be subject to CGT in their own right if they are made on or after 20 September 1985. If the dwelling is your main residence and the improvements are used as part of your home, they are still exempt. This includes improvements on land adjacent to the dwelling (for example, installing a swimming pool) if the total land, including the land on which the home stands, is 2 hectares or less. However, if the dwelling is not your main residence or you used the improvements to produce income for any period, the part of any gain that is attributable to the improvements for that period is taxable. A capital improvement is taken to be major if its original cost (indexed for inflation) is more than 5 per cent of the amount you receive when you dispose of the dwelling and the improvement is also over a certain threshold. The threshold increases every year to take account of inflation. Improvement thresholds for 1985-86 to 2001-02 Income year Threshold 1985-86 $50,000 1986-87 $53,950 1987-88 $58,859 1988-89 $63,450 1989-90 $68,018 1990-91 $73,459 1991-92 $78,160 1992-93 $80,036 1993-94 $80,756 1994-95 $82,290 1995-96 $84,347 1996-97 $88,227 1997-98 $89,992 1998-99 $89,992 1999-2000 $91,072 2000-01 $92,082 2001-02 $97,721 Example Improvement on land acquired before 20 September 1985 Martin bought a home in 1984. On 1 December 1993, he undertook major capital improvements worth $85,000. He sold the home for $500,000 under a contract that was settled on 1 December 2001. At the date of sale, the indexed cost base of the improvements was $98,370. Of the $500,000 he received for the home, $100,000 could be attributed to the improvements. The improvements were used by Martin to produce income from the time they were finished until the time they were sold with the home. The home first used to produce income rule (explained on page 47) does not apply to the improvements because they were first used to produce income before 21 August 1996. Test 1 Is the cost base of the improvements more than 5 per cent of $500,000; that is, $25,000? Yes Test 2 Is the cost base of the improvements more than the 2001-02 threshold of $97,721? Yes As the answer to both questions is Yes and the improvements were used to produce income, the capital gain on the improvements is taxable. The capital gain is calculated as follows: Amount of proceeds attributable to the improvements $100,000 less cost base of improvements indexed for inflation $98,370 Taxable capital gain $1,630 If the improvements had been used as part of Martin's main residence, this gain would be exempt. However, if the home (including the improvements) had been rented out for one-third of the period, one-third of the capital gain made on the improvements would have been taxable. As Martin acquired the improvements before 11.45 am on 21 September 1999 and sold the home after that time, and had held the improvements for at least 12 months, he could use either the indexation method (as in the calculation above) or the discount method to calculate his capital gain on the improvements. When you dispose of the dwelling, the capital gain or capital loss on the major improvements is calculated by taking away the cost base of the improvements from the proceeds of the sale that are reasonably attributable to the improvements: Capital gain on major improvements = proceeds of sale attributable to improvements - cost base of improvements You can choose to calculate the capital gain made on the improvements using either the indexation or the discount method if: the improvements were made under a contract entered into before 11.45 am on 21 September 1999 the dwelling was sold after that time you owned the improvements for at least 12 months. If you entered into the contract to make the improvements after 11.45 am on 21 September 1999, you calculate your capital gain using the CGT discount of 50 per cent. In calculating the amount of capital proceeds to be attributed to the improvements, you must take whatever steps are appropriate to work out their value. If you make an estimate of this amount, it must be reasonable and you must be able to show how you arrived at the estimated amount. Last modified: 06 Oct 2009QC 27417

I present to you Exhibit A, found in paragraph 4
Here's the official response:
Dear Sir
Thank you for your email.
Please see below feedback from the Super Sport Department.
SuperSport does broadcast all the 380 Premier League matches as per our promos across all channels. However, what the promo does not say, is that all matches will be live.
SuperSport endeavours to broadcast as much as it can live, but the sheer volume of content and the lack of capacity ensures that this isn't always possible.
Should you need any further help, feel free to contact us.
Kind regards,
Janine Benjamin
I saw an ad just last night saying all 360 (I think?) matches are beng shown live.
Octo-LNB to 24-1z/5.2 switches. Explora1 (Prim) & HDPVR 2P (Sec), Samsung 55" UA55F8500 Smart 3D LED TV, HDMI picture & audio via Onkyo TX-NR626
receiver. Explora 2 in bedroom, HDMI picture & audio to Samsung 32" UA32F5500 Smart LED TV. 100Mbps M-Web fibre (OpenServe).
Thanks. I'm neither a Stoke or Burnley fan, but it would have been good to have been given the option to watch the game live. These days, this should be technically possible - I spend some of the year in the UK and on the Sky platform there 'overflow' cricket and football matches are available behind the red button feature.
I note that both Crystal Palace v Leicester City and Burnley v Brighton are not being shown this coming Saturday, yet Supersport 11 and 12 aren't being used for anything at the time.
Coverage of all games live is promised, but sometimes logistics doesn't make that possible, for example during the commonwealth games all 14 supersport channels were broadcasting live content at the same time and thus didnt nabe a slot for the less popular game.
Possibly because Supersport thought there wasn't enough interest in the Stoke vs Burnley game. Never mind that there was a lot at stake regarding the relegation battle for Stoke and a possible European spot next year for Burnley. Think they thought that they should rather show more exciting sport on two of their other channels. Unless I'm very mistaken we had cycle racing on two different channels at the time this football match was taking place. Two different races. Not that I'm against seeing cycle races but Supersport seem to be giving us just about EVERY cycle race that's being run in Europe. If not the world.
But I do think this Stoke/Burnley match was broadcast later in the evening at around 21:00?
Hi all,
I was led to believe that Supersport would be covering all 380 English Premier League matches this season (see here), but this doesn't seem to have been the case over the last few weeks. For example, (unless I am mistaken) the Stoke v Burnley game on Sunday 22nd April was not shown live.
Can anyone shed any light?

I've been experimenting with a new kind of smoker….well it's not really new, but for a charcoal and wood man, it's a little different. I'm talking about a pellet smoker.
For those of you that don't know, a pellet smoker is a cooker that runs off of compressed wood "pellets". This type of grill has been around for a while, but now days I'm seeing more and more of them at BBQ competitions.
How a pellet grill works is pretty simple. They all have a hopper that holds pellets. In the bottom of the hopper is an auger that moves the pellets slowly into the fire box. This is where they are burnt which produces heat and smoke for cooking.
The whole cooker is ran by a built in control panel that is basically the brains of the smoker. Starting the cooker is as simple as flipping a switch and pressing start. It immediately begins to drop pellets into the fire box where a heating probe starts the fire. There's no messing with a flame, lighter gel, or anything else. The cooker does the work for you.
Low and slow cooking is what most people think about when talking bbq but a pellet smoker has a much wider range than that. The Yoder that I've been practicing with can cook anywhere from 150-600 degrees . It can cold smoke salmon and bake pizza. That's versatility!
If you're in the market for a new smoker, take a look at pellet smokers. There's no worrying with charcoal, wood, or open flames; just about anything can be cooked on a pellet cooker, and they're simple to operate and clean. If you can use the kitchen oven , then you can use a pellet smoker!

Ugh! Bernie!
I don't like Bernie Sanders. I didn't like him yesterday. I don't like him today and I doubt if I'll like him any better tomorrow. I don't like Mrs. Bernie either. And if there are Sanders kids, I probably wouldn't like them if I knew them either.
Bernie may not have been the biggest reason Hillary isn't president today but he was the first. (She ran into a perfect storm of Bernie, Trump, Putin, WikiLeaks, Jim Comey and sexism - a combined force it would have been impossible for any mortal human to overcome).
Bernie was the original Dog in the Manger. He wasn't a Democrat, has never been a Democrat but he latched himself onto the Democratic party to the detriment of their real candidate, and like a leech, sucked out enough of the party's life force to make a real difference. I don't think he believed for one minute that he would ever be president of the United States (though his faithful followers did). But he parleyed his crusty old purist persona into tons of attention. The media loved him. He was such a character and he helped them bring down, Hillary down, an effort they never seemed to tire of even after three decades.
Bernie and Trump were the traveling road show, each backing up whatever the other one said. "Hillary is owned lock, stock and barrel by the big banks," said Donald. "Just so," echoed Bernie. Of course, since then all those big bankers have gone to work for the Trump administration.
"Emails!" screamed Trump. "Emails!" screamed the holier-than-thou Mr. Sanders. Trump even made a negative ad against Hillary using Bernie quotes. On the other hand, he rarely laid a glove on Sanders because he knew Bernie was no threat to him.
And Bernie kept it up, even when it was obvious he'd lost the nomination. Rather than folding his tent right then and joining forces with the rest of the Democrats, he forged on to Philadelphia. Of course, he eventually endorsed her but it was too late by then. The Bernie Bots despised her and many voted for third party candidates rather than for her.
There is plenty of blame to go around for why Hillary lost. Mostly, we seem to have gotten around to blaming her. She was too quiet; she was too loud. She smiled to much; she didn't smile enough. She didn't campaign in the right states. She didn't appeal enough to the working class. People didn't know what she stood for (I did. I knew exactly what she stood for - a minimum wage increase, improving Obamacare, climate change, more help for women and children, equal pay for equal work, help for college kids with student loans....) Why didn't a lot of other people know? Because the media and her opponents focused on emails morning, noon and night.
I was bitter then and I'm bitter now about the man who jumped into the race in an effort to brush aside the "little woman". I'm even more bitter that so many Americans fell for it.

Selling Your Business Is All About Timing
While you may be eager to sell your business immediately, be aware that careful planning and timing can have a positive impact on your sale price. Observing market conditions, preparing your business for would-be buyers and strategically positioning it as a viable enterprise will all play an important role in the timing of when you decide to sell. Below are a few guidelines to help you properly time the sale of your business.
Prepare In Advance
It pays to prepare your business for sale well in advance before you actually put it on the market, both in terms of stress-reduction and potential income. You can work at your own pace in getting your financial records in order and then have the documents ready for prospective buyers before you place your first business-for-sale ad. Plan to allow at least six months to a year to prepare your business for sale. Diligent preparation, like having at least three years of financial records available for potential buyers to examine, will help you to show your business in the best light. Not only will you want time to gather all the necessary documentation that potential buyers will expect to see, you'll also want to have the time to improve your company's position in the market, giving it more "curb appeal".
Also, keep in mind the time frame it takes to complete a business sale. Most sales take 6-12 months from the time they are placed on the market to close. Careful preparation will give you more flexibility to align your sales timing with a favorable market and could help you avoid the pitfall of having to sell quickly at a less-than-ideal price.
Research the Market
In order to establish a fair asking price, you'll need to do some research to objectively determine where your business fits into the market. While you certainly don't want to underprice your business, pricing your business too high may drag out the sales process or even prevent your business from selling at all. Fluctuations in the market, and more specifically within your particular industry, will help you determine the best time to put your business on the market. Look for similar businesses for sale to get a feel for the current market and then seek the help of a professional. An appraiser or business broker can help you hone in on a realistic asking price. BizBuySell Valuation Reports are another great starting point (beef up).
Define Your Business's Value
Try to take a fresh look at your business through a potential buyer's eyes in order to determine your business's strengths and weaknesses. Next, take the time to promote its highpoints and work on its low points with an eye towards improving your selling price. Remember that buyers would ideally like to purchase a business when it's doing well and showing steady growth. If records show your sales in decline, then it may not be the best time to sell, since this will negatively impact your selling price.
You want your business to stand out in a competitive market as the best investment in its field. This is another area in which a business broker's knowledge and input may prove invaluable. Your documentation should include past results and current placement in the market, as well as the potential for future growth. Potential buyers will not only want to see a record of good bookkeeping, but will also want to know about current employees and your customer base. Positive feedback from your employees and customers will go a long way in ensuring a smooth transition for potential buyers.
In addition, a strong marketing presence is a good indicator to potential buyers that your business is a sound financial investment for them. If you haven't established an easily identifiable online presence and user-friendly website, consider this a part of your seller's preparation. Your website is likely to be the first impression that potential buyers will have of your business.
Remember, a strengthening economy is just one of the indicators of a prime selling time. Fluctuations within your industry and your business' current position within the market also play roles in determining when your sale will be most profitable. You want all of those complex pieces of the puzzle to align to bring you the best market value for your business. It's possible that the time you take to improve your business may also produce favorable shifts in the economy rewarding you for your hard work and patience.
