When the train starts, and the passengers are settled
To fruit, periodicals and business letters
(And those who saw them off have left the platform)
Their faces relax from grief into relief,
To the sleepy rhythm of a hundred hours.
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past
Into different lives, or into any future;
You are not the same people who left that station
Or who will arrive at any terminus,
While the narrowing rails slide together behind you;
And on the deck of the drumming liner
Watching the furrow that widens behind you,
You shall not think 'the past is finished'
Or 'the future is before us'.

Bantamweight clinches Mauritius' first medal
BEIJING (AP) Bruno Julie has a burnt-orange mop of hair that sits atop his otherwise shaved head like a plate of spaghetti Bolognese. The bantamweight's frantic, overeager boxing technique suggests a man who's late for his dinner.
Mauritius, meet your nation's first Olympic medalist - and he's hungry for a gold.
Julie beat Venezuela's Hector Manzanilla in the boxing tournament quarterfinals Monday night to clinch the first medal in the Olympic history of his tiny island nation 560 miles off the eastern coast of Madagascar.
Ukrainian featherweight Vasyl Lomachenko also clinched a medal with his third virtuoso performance of the Olympics, silencing Workers' Gymnasium while pounding China's Li Yang in a 12-3 victory.
The crowd felt better when super heavyweight Zhang Zhilei knocked down Kazakhstan's Ruslan Myrsatayev twice in a 12-2 victory that assured China of at least two boxing medals in Beijing after winning just one in its previous history.
Julie's 13-9 win didn't possess the artistic value of Lomachenko's effort, but the African champion showed resilience in rallying from a third-round deficit. His coaches climbed the steps to the ring at the final buzzer, wildly waving their nation's four-color flag and putting it around Julie's shoulders.
"I'm a very experienced boxer, and I felt I should win," Julie said after posing for pictures with his jubilant entourage. "We said we're not here to win one or two bouts. We're here to earn a gold medal."
Godavarisingh Rajcoomar, the president of Mauritius' boxing association, said Julie will receive a 25,000-euro bonus from the government for the nation's first medal.
Moldova bantamweight Veaceslav Gojan also made some history, clinching his nation's second boxing medal with an upset victory over India's Akhil Kumar.
Cuba secured its fourth medal already with bantamweight Yankiel Leon's victory over Worapoj Petchkoom of Thailand, but Azerbaijan's Shahin Imranov upset young Cuban featherweight Idel Torriente, just the second of Cuba's 10 fighters to lose in Beijing.
Li finished third at last year's world championships, but he didn't stand a chance against the 20-year-old Ukrainian dynamo who's been the best boxer in Beijing. Even with more than 10,000 fans urging Li on, Lomachenko piled up a 5-0 lead in the first round with hands too quick to anticipate.
"I should practice more and get more experience," Li said. "I didn't perform well."
Lomachenko scored at will, then coasted through the fourth round in apparent deference to his host. After getting the tournament's single most difficult draw, Lomachenko has beaten world champion Albert Selimov, former Olympic medalist Bahodirjon Sultonov and the talented Li by a combined 39-11.
Lomachenko's semifinal opponent, Turkey's unheralded Yakup Kilic, hardly looked likely to give Lomachenko much trouble during his win over Algeria's Abdelkader Chadi.
Lomachenko's teammate, super heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov, will join him in the semifinals after a 10-4 win over Algeria's Newfel Ouatah.
The super heavyweight favorite is still defending world champion Roberto Cammarelle of Italy, who slogged through a 9-5 win over Colombia's Oscar Rivas to clinch his second Olympic medal.
But he'll next face David Price, who followed up his stunning stoppage of Russia's Islam Timurziev by clinching Britain's first medal of the games when Lithuania's Jaroslav Jaksto quit after the first round with a left leg injury. The British fan contingent, which included several of Price's Liverpool friends and family, held up an English flag with "D. Price Is Right" written on it.
"It inspired me and also put a little more pressure on me, because I didn't want them to come all this way and not qualify," Price said.
While Mauritius and Moldova won unlikely medals, India will have to wait for its first boxing medal. Kumar, the bantamweight who beat world champion Sergey Vodopyanov of Russia in his last bout, never managed to figure out Gojan's counterpunching style.
Two of Kumar's teammates - Vijender Kumar and Vitender Kumar - still have quarterfinal bouts upcoming.
Petchkoom, a silver medalist in Athens, is wildly popular in his native Thailand, where hundreds of people reportedly gather outside his home to watch his fights. He was decisively beaten by Leon, the smooth 26-year-old who might never have got to Beijing if two-time gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux hadn't been kicked off the Cuban team for trying to defect last year.

Topic: I need some help, please
I have the following code snippet - the function self.find_by_filters needs some work... And by some I mean more than some. Basically it's find that filters by a lot of attributes.

Our new baby.Posted Friday, August 19, 2011, at 8:08 PM
3 days after we got to Cascade our little mare had this little filly. I took these first photos the very morning she was born. All the horse in the photos are a little wound up at the newcomer's arrival. My old black mare, Mariah loves babies, so she wanted it for herself. The buckskin gelding, Jax, didn't know that such a thing existed.... so little ya know. We couldn't get very close to them, Mama (which Al has named Rose) didn't want to be touched, so these pics are from a bit of a distance. Al named the baby Daisy, so I guess that's her name.
This picture won an award on "Outdoor Idaho" I'm a bit proud of that!
These next pictures are about a week later.
Amazing how quickly animals become fairly self sufficient. This little filly runs all over the place.
Mama, Rose, Is feeling friendly again
My old girl has gray hairs....she's about 27 years old
On one of my daughter's visits, she sprung up on the old girl, after checking her teeth, for good measure.
This is one of the horses that Katie did some High School rodeo on. She has certainly earned her retirement. Now she's a babysitter!
All the kids want to be close to the baby.
Al will probably be the first to ride this filly.
Each time we visit the baby, Al gets closer and closer to her. This time, she did actually touch her.
And then the baby touches Wayne
This takes us thru about 3 months of the newcomer's life.

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Beyond 26.2 on Dirt - Page 2
2. Expect the unexpected.
You've probably heard the saying, "Anything can happen in an ultra." While this is undoubtedly true with the 100-mile distance, the same holds true for a 50K. A myriad of issues may affect your race, including weather, terrain, competition, stomach issues and cramps, to name a few.
According to 2011 The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship winner, Mike Wolfe, of Missoula, Montana, "Don't over-analyze before going into a race. Many first timers go in over-prepared with splits memorized, food strategized by the minute, etcetera. You cannot plan out what will happen in an ultra. When your plan inevitably crumbles, and it will at some point during a race even if only for a few minutes, some people lose it mentally."
He continues, "Go into your first ultra with a more relaxed approach: have a plan, but know it will likely need to change. Be flexible mentally and expect the unexpected. Your body will adapt."
3. Listen to your body.
Above all, though, listen to your body's signals. According to elite ultrarunnner Nikki Kimball, of Bozeman, Montana, glean information from experienced ultrarunners , but, she warns, "Remember, there is much individual difference between athletes. What assists one runner may not be tolerated by another."
For example, just because your friend Jerry eats bacon sandwiches and avocados while he runs 100s and claims that they are the best ultraunning fuel, it doesn't mean that your stomach will be able to tolerate such a high-fat food. Try it on a training run first. Use trial and error to find your ideal race-day food.
4. Keep pouring fuel in the tank.
To reach the finish line, you'll need to fuel up during the race. This means eating (whether that's gels, liquid calories or actual whole foods), hydrating and replenishing electrolytes. Says 2012 Leadville 100-Mile women's winner, Tina Lewis, "Eat and drink as much as you can through the entire race as soon as the gun goes off."
Jen Burn recommends setting an alarm every 25 to 30 minutes to remind you to take a gel. While "on demand" eating isn't necessarily right for everyone, practice eating and drinking during training to find the method that best helps you get calories throughout the race.

Carrots or carats?
In honor of National Carrot Cake Day, which is Monday, here's a true-false quiz about the starring
1. Carrots originally were red, black, yellow, white and purple. The Dutch developed bright-orange carrots in the Middle Ages.
2. Carrots are members of the same plant family as turnips.
3. The wild carrot also is called Queen Anne's lace and devil's plague. It's similar in appearance to poisonous species, including water hemlock.
4. Zsa Zsa Gabor said, "The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond."
5. The idea that carrots can improve a person's vision dates to a World War II ad campaign by the British Royal Air Force, which claimed carrots were responsible for its fighter pilots' good vision.
Answers: 1. True. 2. False — carrots are in the parsley family, turnips in the mustard family. 3. True. 4. False — Mae West said it. 5. True.
The recipe for a yummy carrot cake, which features crystallized ginger and lots of pecans and is much too long to print here, can be found at recchiuti.com. It's the creation of San Francisco chocolatier Michael Recchiuti.
Today's recipe
Two more vegetables that grow underground are featured here today in this savory dish highlighted by fresh herbs.
Mixed Roasted Potatoes with Herb Butter
11/2 pounds russet potatoes
11/2 pounds red potatoes
11/2 pounds sweet potatoes
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Cut the potatoes into 2-inch cubes. Add them to a large pot, cover them with cold water and add salt. Bring them to a boil, cook for 10 minutes, drain and cool for 20 minutes. The potatoes will now be only partly cooked and should be completely dry before you roast them.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss the potatoes with the oil and salt and pepper, to taste, and spread them in one layer on a baking sheet. Roast until crispy and cooked through, about 45 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, make the herb butter: Mix the softened butter with the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme and season it with salt and pepper, to taste.
When the potatoes are done, put them into a large bowl and toss them with as much of the herb butter as desired.
Makes 6 servings.

Gud Fit Entertainment
I had the privilege of interviewing with AJ and Antonio of Gud Fit Entertainment out of San Antonio, Texas. They currently publish a comic book, Super Newts, and a children's book,
Adventures of Dorse and Doose, but are looking to expand their creative works into new fields.
How was Gud Fit Entertainment formed?
My brother and I had many creative ideas for stories, so we felt that all of those stories needed to be housed under one brand or company. So we came up with GudFit Entertainment, with a focus on moving ideas from imagination, to paper, or to digital media. We want to help others to laugh, or, to at least, be entertained.
What types of productions and publications does Gud Fit create?
Currently we are creating child-friendly comic books with the Super Newts and children's books with the Adventures of Dorse and Doose. In the future we are looking to release other stories for adults.
Who do you see as your core demographic?
Our main focus is youth and children starting with the little ones. Dorse and Doose are for kids 3 years and up and Super Newts are for those 8 years and up. We keep in mind that when we write and illustrate for the young, it almost always has to go through the hands of many adults, so we try to keep it interesting for both. The youth tend to like things that are considered cool, so being part of the "cool" factor is fun.
Why choose to become an Entertainment group and not just a regular publisher?
When we started this company we always thought production on a large level. Not just publishing, but theatrical performances as well. AJ is an artist and his skill set includes photography, print media, 2D & 3D animation, sculpting, acting, and other artistic crafts. So we did not want to limit creativity to simply one section of the art world.
Why do you want to publish comics?
Comics were a great way to get started and to reach a large group of people. Initially we started out with writing the animated series of Super Newts that ended up being 20 or so episodes. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but once it was all put on paper just how much "man-power" we would need for just one episode we decided to write the comics instead. We wanted to make sure that the Super Newts would be received well by the people, so far so good.
Can you tell us more about the creative teams on your comics, including your webcomic?
The team operates under the Less is More principle, so it's mostly my brother and myself on the creative end, then we have a technical director, editor, and marketing director. For the comics and webcomics, Antonio and I handle the creative end for Super Newts and Dorse and Doose. We know exactly how we want the story to go so it's just a matter of agreement and putting in the work to make it all happen.
What are Gud Fit Entertainment's plans for the future?
We want to continue to expand our brand through different formats like merchandising, video games, animation, and full length featured film that can air on television, internet, or the cinema. We want to occupy a space in the entertainment world with the rest of the great creations that have come before and continue to live on throughout time.
What advice or inspiration can you give to other creators out there?
Though freedom carries responsibility, you should feel free when you create. Work smart, consistent, and follow through. Sometimes there are many steps to take and numerous obstacles in the way, but you have to be a "doer" and not one that is lazy and makes excuses. Don't spend time comparing yourself to others because you can only be you.
If you are only in it for the money then good luck, but for everyone else you need passion, else your dream will eventually become denied. Also you can't be afraid to try something new or something outside the box. Don't be afraid of success or afraid to fail. It may sound weird but not every plan is going to go the way you plan it, so if you see it failing then fail fast so that you can recover and start the next great idea.
Thank you, gentlemen for the wonderful interview and I hope to see more Gud Fit soon!

She came to us from the Keystone State.
And back to Pennsylvania she's heading.
Vanessa Robtison has resigned her position at Staunton River in order to accept the same job at a school in the western suburbs of Philadelphia.
Her formal resignation was accepted by the Bedford County School Board last Thursday.
Robtison is a native of Pennsylvania, having graduated from Neshaminy High School (about a half hour north of Philly) in 2002.
It was ever-so-faint.
But, for those with a nose for such things, it was unmistakable: The smell of football was in the air.
True, we're a long way from those cool autumn months.
We're still quite a ways from the opening games of the season (Aug. 29).
But, we're on the cusp of formally prepping for that day.
In fact, both Staunton River and Jefferson Forest open their two-a-day practice sessions tomorrow (July 31).
Eleven minutes into Jefferson Forest's Group 4A state semifinal match against heavily-favored Midlothian, Cassidy Ratliff's prayers came true.
Less than two minutes later, so did her dreams.
The senior forward scored two goals in that span; the first "a gift from God" that went through the hands of the Trojans goalkeeper.
"I'm glad I prayed this morning," Ratliff said after the game.
Bedford County ladies continued to impress on the track. This time, they brought their speed and strength to the 3A-West regional meet, held at Cave Spring.
At last weekend's competition, the county contingent was led by Megan Beisser and Alexus Pannell. Beisser, who had just graduated from Liberty last weekend, posted a first place in the 100 hurdles for her recent alma mater. Pannell, a rising senior, nabbed top honors in the triple jump.
Top 10 women's teams
Bedford County has suddenly taken on the likeness of a pawnbroker's safe: Lots of unused diamonds.
That dynamic (or lack thereof) was a result of a rough slate of conference games which left all of our baseball teams and all but one of our softball teams on the outside, looking in.
That sole remaining team is the Liberty Lady Minutemen. Or, we should say, it was the Liberty belles. They, too, suffered the harsh reality of being bounced, though their termination came in regional play, the only county team to so advance.
A nice season got even nicer.
The Liberty girls' tennis team laid claim to the first-ever Conference 30 championship. Not only that, the duo of Carly Richardson and Morgan Karnes took the title in doubles play.
Their crown was also the first to bear "Conference 30" upon it.
Of course, this is the first year of existence for the conference. And, what a year for these Liberty ladies.
They took the team title by cruising over Brookville, 6-2.
They continue to impress.
This group of youngish Golden Eagles are making hay on the baseball diamond.
Staunton River's latest achievement was earning the top spot in the Conference 30 playoffs. It's more than just an honorarium: The prize includes a valuable first-round bye, the only one issued for the seven-team field.
River controlled its own destiny going into the final week of the regular season. The Eagles faltered, at first, absorbing a 5-3 loss on the fields of Lord Bot.
Ready or not, playoff action got underway with games on Monday.
Two days after seniors from Bedford County High Schools marched across the stage at the Vines Center to receive their diplomas, some of their teams marched into the post-season fray.
It was a mixed bag for the locals.
Jefferson Forest showed an affinity for Monday. In four games, all played on Cav fields, the school posted a perfect 4-0 mark, doing so with uneven levels of ease.
The Jefferson Forest baseball team seems to have figured out one key thing: What matters is how good you are at the end of the season.
And, it would seem, the lads are taking that knowledge to heart. They wrapped up their regular season with wins over their big county rival and over the best team in the Seminole.
The Cavs took care of Liberty, 5-1, before wrapping up things with a stunning 4-2 victory over the behemoth which is Amherst.
Indiana Hall and the Temple of Doom
They have to be darn good to win these awards.
And they are.
Up against a superb field of nominees, Liberty's Megan Beisser and Jefferson Forest's Ben Ottman were announced as the winners of this year's Bedford Rotary Grand Awards.
The presentation was made as part of the Rotary's Student-Athlete awards ceremony, held this past Sunday at Liberty High School.

10 Best Auto Insurance Websites
The study assessed 20 insurers based on three categories: Browsing using menus, direct access/search and content.
The report noted an "overall poor performance of industry websites," relaying the top reasons for failure: Company-centric websites make browsing too difficult; content is missing, repeated and poorly worded; and site search doesn't work for typical tasks.
According to the report, consumers have less patience with poor websites due to a much broader experience of what is possible online. Therefore, insurers need to make sure their websites are providing customers with good content, when and where they want to access it.
Click through to see which carriers are accomplishing this.
State Farm ranked seventh in terms of browsing experience and content, but failed to place in the top 10 for search.
Travelers' site ranked sixth in the search category, making up for its inability to place in the top 10 for browsing and content.
Placing fifth for its search engine, Amica's website also placed 10th in terms of browsing experience and ninth for its content.
Nationwide ranked sixth when it comes to content and seventh for search capabilities, but didn't make the ranking for its browsing experience.
Erie was noted for excellence in one category, placing third in terms of navigation. The company's website also placed ninth for search, fifth when it came to content.
The slideshow originally indicated that Erie was not in the top ten in content, we regret the error.
Progressive's site received mention for its Web content, for which it placed fourth. It also placed eighth for search and fifth for browsing.
Allstate's website, along with Erie, excelled in one particular areasearch, where it ranked second. It placed eighth in terms of content and sixth in terms of browsing.
Placed third overall, GEICO's site ranked second in navigation, fourth for search and third for content.
Noted for having the best navigation of any site assessed, Liberty Mutual hung near the top in other categories as wellthird for search and second for content.
This site was acknowledged for having the best content, "and somewhat surprisingly was the only site that offered a site search that consistently provided good results."
As well as achieving top marks in content and search, Esurance also placed fourth in terms of browsing.

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton published an op-ed on America's Pacific century. Serving in Papua New Guinea, I am honored to be part of a team that is advancing U.S. engagement in the South Pacific, and want to share with readers a few events in which U.S. Embassy Port Moresby has recently participated.
Recognizing Pionie Boso: A Woman of Courage in the Solomon Islands
This year, Embassy Port Moresby recognized Pionie Boso for her dedication to ending violence against women at our International Woman of Courage ceremony on August 5. Bryan Hunt, Deputy Chief of Mission, presented the award.
In 2008, Pionie began working under the auspices of the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs to research violence against women. Under her leadership, a team of 55 interviewers were trained to conduct a nation-wide survey to document the prevalence and types of violence against women and related child abuse in the Solomon Islands.
Managing nine provincial teams, Pionie led her researchers through challenges and dangers to record the voices and stories of women in the most remote parts of the country. Pionie's work led to the Solomon Islands Cabinet adopting two vital national policies: the Gender Equality and Women's Development Policy and National Policy to Eliminate Violence Against Women.
"This is an amazing achievement and would never have occurred without the evidence base and advocacy that Pionie led," Hunt said.
During our visit to the Solomon Islands, Deputy Chief of Mission Hunt and our team met with Prime Minister Danny Philip and Foreign Minister Peter Shanell. We also participated in a ceremony at the Guadalcanal Monument in Honiara for the 69th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal.
Remembering Guadalcanal
Deputy Chief of Mission Hunt, Regional Security Officer Dan Bleakmore, Public Relations and Protocol Assistant Carolyn Ive and I arose well before 5:30 a.m. to attend a sunrise ceremony at the Guadalcanal Monument. Also attending the event were Governor General Frank Kabui, Prime Minister Danny Philip, Colonel Robert Loynd of the United States Marine Corps, members of the diplomatic corps, and government ministers as well as U.S. and Solomon Islands veterans and their families. Somehow Keithie Saunders, our superstar consular agent who arranged all of our travel in Honiara, also managed to chase away the rain to deliver a picture-perfect morning with the sun's golden rays shining gloriously through billowing, silver-gray clouds.
After the playing of the Solomon Islands and U.S. national anthems, Hunt saluted the sacrifices made by our courageous Marines 69 years ago. "Their bravery and valor on Guadalcanal, along with that of their comrades-in-arms from the United States Navy and Coast Guard, stand as a testament to the willingness of the men and women of the American Armed Forces to sacrifice on behalf of the cause of freedom wherever and whenever called upon to do so," Hunt said.
Hunt also recalled the sacrifices and contributions made by our allies and friends in Solomon Islands. "Without their bravery, assistance, and equal commitment to freedom's cause, victory over the forces of imperialism in the Pacific would not have been possible. The friendships between Americans and Solomon Islanders forged in those difficult days endure today and are the bedrock of the relationship between our two countries."
Following the ceremony, everyone moved to downtown Honiara for the unveiling and dedication of the Pride of the Nation Memorial and then to the Point Cruz Yacht Club for a wreath-laying ceremony for Douglas Munro, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard. Munro received the Medal of Honor -- the U.S. military's highest decoration -- after he died evacuating a detachment of Marines. Munro's final words were: "Did they get off?"
No one can listen to the achievements of our men and, really, boys -- some of whom were only 16 years old -- and the terrible conditions that they faced to feel a sense of awe. These soldiers truly were heroes and that is something for which we should be grateful. My colleagues and I returned to Papua New Guinea mindful of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make each and every day.
U.S. Agency for International Development Opens Regional Office in the Pacific"This is a region where thousands of U.S. troops sacrificed their lives to preserve peace and democracy in World War II. We remain committed to their memory and to the region. We forged ties with Papua New Guinea long before its independence and now that close relationship is maturing," U.S. Ambassador Teddy Taylor said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the new U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Pacific Island Regional Office in Port Moresby on October 5, 2011.
The USAID office will manage regional environment and climate change programs, disaster assistance programs for the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and an ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment program in Papua New Guinea.
USAID maintained a mission in Suva, Fiji, and a satellite office in Papua New Guinea, from 1978 until 1994. Since that time, USAID has remained engaged in the region's most pressing development issues through its Regional Development Mission in Asia. Secretary Clinton announced the re-opening of a USAID office in the Pacific to Pacific leaders at the 2009 United Nations General Assembly as part of U.S. government re-engagement in the region.

Today is April 19th the democracy of Korea starts a fixation. Watched the commemoration ceremony, thinks did as a favor a many talk in me.
So, where is who asserts the subject of this week personally in former times; "Grand Bargain" With decides and about when the surplus happens every, when does, a talk.

Short time recognizes the stability of setup and ideology and the investment which is economic and promises if the surplus which is a time when will accept the shock of opening provides when goes to the north strongly, the reason thinks that is not. The worst Former President Bill Clionton selections remember in case again.
North Korea wants is the support which China or the United States which hangs is direct and stable, but support of China there is a possibility where the axis of Northeast Asia stability will tilt, support of the United States is fine but try in case there will be a problem of balance with the country which is different and betrayal of North Korea the possibility which will encounter the shock which is political are big prediction. And, hour when the North Korea bay will always face each other in case the opinion will be different, the surplus which is spatial will not become insufficient?

Probably, opposition the directivity which thinks the profit of the themselves first to peel, will not appear and does presents a chary opinion.

That is like that, in order to catch leadership from when warfare selects the situation which is same extreme wins from warfare and remains and thinks only the nation and the citizen who are rising to the debt pile which hangs.

Reunion class giving efforts yield nearly $323,000 for College — so far
Reunion class giving efforts yield nearly $323,000 for College — so far

At the 2011 Homecoming Alumni Reception held Oct. 22 in Maryville College's Alumni Gymnasium, members of milestone 25th, 40th and 50th reunion classes proudly presented checks to President Dr. William T. "Tom" Bogart reflective of their reunion fundraising efforts. To date, those efforts have resulted in more than $322,403 of total giving impact, while specifically raising roughly $92,403 for the Maryville Fund, scholarships and the campaign to renovate the interior of historic Anderson Hall.
Members of the Class of 1961, the College's newest Golden Scots, celebrated their 50th reunion with an announcement by Reunion Gift Chair George Poland that, as of Oct. 22, 84 percent of class members had collectively raised $66,753 to fund the Class of 1961 Endowed Scholarship. Additionally, five members had joined the Society of 1819, bringing the class' total giving impact to $256,753. In addition to Poland, Reunion Gift Committee members included Sylvia Fugate Heard, Gay Landis Page, Harry Page, Kathy Eisenhart Parse, Margie Stephenson Ribble, Linda Carol Roberts, Cheryl Gould Smith and John Talmage.
Rob Kennedy represented the Class of 1971 in his role as Reunion Gift Chair and reported that the class has raised $22,790 to establish a Class of 1971 Endowed Scholarship. With 56-percent class participation and the addition of four new Society of 1819 members, the class' financial gift to the College was reported to be $62,790 at the time of the reception. Serving with Kennedy on the 1971 Reunion Gift Committee were Donna Hemenway Berg, Richard Berg and Ana Tampanna.
The Class of 1986, represented by Reunion Gift Chair Neal McBrayer, reported a record 40-percent class participation number and gift and pledge amount of $2,860. This gift will be used in conjunction with that of the Class of 1985 to renovate the ground floor entranceway in Anderson Hall. In addition to McBrayer, members of the Class of 1986 Reunion Gift and Events Committee included Rick Carver, Charis Shamblin Davis, Hubert Dixon, Jeff Goethe, Stacey Davis Nordquist and Amy Ralston Vagnier.
"Reunion giving is always a very special effort that we love to assist with," said Holly Jackson-Sullivan, vice president for advancement and community relations. "All of the classes did an incredible job; we are actually looking at adding 55th and 60th reunion gift committees for next year due to multiple alumni requests."
Jackson-Sullivan reminded reunion class alumni that gifts can be added to reunion giving any time between now at the end of the fiscal year (May 31, 2012). Reunion class members should indicate "reunion giving" on the check.
Carrie McConkey, regional advancement officer and staff liaison for the milestone reunion gift efforts, commended the enthusiastic efforts made by class members.
"The Reunion Gift Committee members spent a tremendous amount of time reaching out to their fellow classmates, not only to help raise funds but also to promote Homecoming and simply reconnect," she said. "The MC memories were flowing… it was a touching experience to witness."
For more information about reunion giving, contact Carrie McConkey at 865.981.8197 or email@example.com.

Topic: Uploaded images won't display in IE6?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm at wit's end trying to figure this out, so I thought another set of eyes could help see what I'm missing.
I'm using attachment_fu to handle the uploading with product images going to "/uploads/stamps/" and profile images going to "/uploads/users/". FireFox, IE7, Safari, and Opera work great, but they simply won't load in IE6 and below.
I've checked the permissions of the images, uploads, stamps, and users folders and verified that the folders have permissions set to 755 and the images within those folders have permissions set to 644. I've also disabled page caching in the corresponding controllers.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
# General Apache options
# AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
# AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
# If you don't want Rails to look in certain directories,
# use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won't rewrite certain requests
# Example:
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*
# RewriteRule .* - [L]
# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
# By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow
# For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one
# Example:
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
RewriteEngine On
# If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,
# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.
# Example:
# Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public
# RewriteBase /myrailsapp
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
# In case Rails experiences terminal errors
# Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which will be rendered instead
# Example:
# ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
ErrorDocument 500 "
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly"
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Get Users to Care About Security
Your employees are a critical part of your security program, particularly when it comes to the endpoint. Whether it's a PC, smartphone or tablet, your end users are on the front lines of phishing attempts and malware attacks. The more they understand—and care—about how their computing behavior affects the company's security posture, the better off the company will be. Of course, it's easy to say, "Get end users involved in security." It's hard to make it happen. This report offers practical guidance on how to engage employees in ways that can result in meaningful changes to their security-related attitudes and behaviors.
First and foremost, security engagement must be driven by the executives—all the executives—not just the CIO or front-line IT staff. If the CEO and business leaders demonstrate the need to take security seriously, employees follow suit. If executives aren't ready to get on board, try a wake-up call in the form of a phishing test. Run a simulated phishing attack against your organization and track the number of employees who fall for it. You may be surprised (and dismayed) to see just how vulnerable your organization is.
Next, get employees' buy-in. The best way is to appeal to their self-interest; the security behaviors and information you provide at work can also be used at home, helping people safeguard themselves and their families from financial fraud, data loss and online predation. Other ways to get employees on board is through direct communication from IT and business leaders. Real-time, in-person interaction sends a powerful message that this subject is important. IT's credibility also goes a long way to getting your message across. If your IT shop isn't regarded as a trusted technology partner, you have some ground to make up first. (S4300212)

Can a state really divorce itself from its neighbor?
If state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg gets his way, we could soon find out.
Jumping on the boycott bandwagon over Arizona's new law on illegal immigrants, the Sacramento Democrat urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today to do everything legally possible to sever economic ties with Arizona until it repeals the law.
He and others threatening boycotts say the law, signed last week by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, will inevitably lead to racial profiling. The law -- which would take effect in about three months barring a successful court challenge -- would require immigrants to carry proof of their status and require police to determine whether someone is in the country illegally if they have a "reasonable suspicion" about someone.
"As a border state, the impact of the Arizona law will surely have reverberations in California. And given the threat the Arizona law poses to public safety and individual freedoms, I believe we can't afford to wait for the courts to resolve the legal questions it presents. I think we have a moral obligation to deliver an unequivocal message to lawmakers in Arizona that California does not condone its conduct," Steinberg wrote Schwarzenegger.
"The Arizona law is as unconscionable as it is unconstitutional, and the state of California should not be using taxpayer dollars to support such a policy. For that reason, I respectfully request that you provide me with information about all existing and proposed contracts between the state of California and any businesses or governments in Arizona. I would like for our respective legal staffs to work together to determine whether we can legally break any of our existing contracts, and also ensure that no new contracts are negotiated until Arizona's law is effectively repealed."
The wave of opposition is similar to what happened after then-Arizona Gov. Evan Meacham repealed civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a holiday in 1987 and voters supported that decision in 1990. That time, boycotts worked. After tourism plummeted and the NFL moved a Super Bowl from Tempe to Pasadena, Arizona voters reversed course in 1992 and made the holiday official.
But taken to an extreme, Steinberg's solution could threaten the whole idea of the United States of America. Would Utah boycott California because it allowed same-sex marriages? Would Phoenix shun San Francisco because it's a sanctuary city? Would state after state show its displeasure with a controversial law in another by cutting off ties?

The Emotional Journey
An expecting parent can prepare for a lot of things before their child comes. They can set up the crib, store up on diapers and wipes, blankets and onsies. But they often get so excited we often forget one major detail: emotional development. Whether or not you are an expecting parent or have been blessed [...]

I'm about to install an Anthem SL into my Larrivee OM-03R. The instructions show the tru-mic placed between the bridge plate and the sound hold. That area is very small on my guitar. In fact, the bridge plate ends just before the X braces intersect making an uneven surface.
Question: Is it OK to install the tru-mic on the bridge plate, but between the bridge and the end of the guitar? In other words on the outside of the string pin holes rather than on the inside?

Primate Laboratory Gets Put on Notice
It's been awhile since we last mentioned the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). But even though ONPRC hasn't been in our blog, it's been very much on our minds, and there are encouraging new developments to report.
For those of you who have hit-and-miss memories like mine, here's a quick recap: Our 2007 undercover investigation at ONPRC found that monkeys were tormented by laboratory staffers, forced to eat food out of waste-filled trays, denied medical care or pain relief, and driven mad by horrific laboratory conditions. Still, despite undeniable video evidence, the USDA somehow didn't see anything wrong at ONPRC.
At that point, ONPRC may have thought that it had won and that we would slink away. But, hey, this is PETA, after all, so think again, monkey abusers!
This past fall, we obtained new internal documents from ONPRC that detailed further abuse and neglect, so we submitted a new complaint to the USDA. In it, we outlined the following incidents:
- A sick, pregnant monkey was denied veterinary care and pain relief because the experimenters "didn't know the signs of animal pain and distress" (the mother and her unborn baby both died).
- A surgical sponge was left inside a baboon and was only discovered after the monkey was killed for an experiment.
- ONPRC experimenters accidentally performed surgery on the wrong monkey.
Wow. Cold-hearted and inept—a deadly combination.
Based on our complaint, the USDA inspected ONPRC, and this time, it confirmed our allegations. So ONPRC was cited for three violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including causing monkeys trauma, stress, harm or discomfort and failing to adequately monitor and provide veterinary care to animals.
And the agency didn't stop there: In December, the USDA issued an "official warning" to ONPRC that it may face civil or criminal penalties if additional violations are found in the future.
It's a hopeful sign of progress, but we're hardly done with ONPRC. After all, these incidents are only a small part of the cruelty still being inflicted on the more than 4,000 primates there.

It's unbelievable the amount of persistence it takes for justice to be done! Although this is a small victory there is so much more of this going on and as long as the USDA continues to fight clear evidence of abuse with such incredible obstinacy the farther apart the victories will come. Peta is remarkable for accomplishing such feats without their hard hard work we would never see any end to animal cruelty!
It's a relief to know that actions are being done for these poor animals. Please keep up the good work PETA!
One day when nature fights back these excuse for humans that have no regard for anything living and probably no self respect will take the fall and there will be nobody there to help them. The day the experiments take revenge will be a day recorded in history.
Thats just sad I mean no animal deserve to be treated bad I realize what the world is doing to animals thinks to PETA which is a good thing. Before PETA i thought that everything was okay and now I don't people need to stop killing and abuseing animals. Or theres going to be no more animals left on earth for us.
When will the madness end? Lots to do still but progress is being made as I write! PETA keep up the pressure!!
I was sickened by what I saw and believe everyone should be made aware of what happens to these poor animals. Please keep up the good work.
Why does research torture? This has gone on for far too long and it's all for the allmighty dollar. It's unbelievable to me that over 4000 innocent souls are being tortured at this facility. It's past time to close this place down.
It is a beginning and now with a "new administration" we can put more pressure on to end the keeping of these primates entirely illegal. Keep up the GREAT work PETA.
horrible! It is the time that man stop torture the animals! Giovanna italia
i wish for a cruelty free world for animals.
This barbaric cruelty to innocent animals is horrific! Great job PETA! These dispicable "researchers" need the same torture done to them.
I was appalled by the treatment of these monkeys by ONPRC. Instead of penalizing ONPRC they should be totally shut down. Maybe if the workers and people at ONPRC were put in cages such as the monkeys and treated heinously as they are they might think twice about what they are doing.
I was once told by the Director of the Animal Labortory Researce at MUSC that there are many animal studies with no relevance to helping modern medicine. They just keep repeating the same torture one involved setting monkeys on fire using kerosine just one example. The goals is to receive as much money as possible from Federal Grants! It's too bad humans don't experience the ultimate degredation and torture that these intellegent loving animals endure! Keep up the good work! Lesley Scott
What is it that makes people tick? I just can't understand how a person could inflict such horrific acts on our animals. What is it about killing maiming or torturing animals that make people do it? There are no words that can express the sadness I feel. Let's hope for a better future for all of our animals.
What has become of people? How can a person harm a harmless defensless animal? It breaks my heart what is being done. I only hope that the people who do this gets put in a cage and experimented on. See how they like it!!
All of this sickens me how any one can abuse an animal in this whythe people who do this are cowards and not humanmy heart aches for all the animals in the world that are being abuse.linda
The truth shall set you free.
Is terriblethink that there are people who may abuse these animals. ISterrible I still can not understand how they can do certain things THAT DISGUST COWARD! sILVIA ITALIA
Oh! It does my heart GOOD! "until EVERY cage is empty.."
Please email me if there will be a future email campaign against this organization.
Lets leave animals in their natural habitat.
Great news Jeff and bravo to all the PETA team. Cant wait to see some serious implications to these disgusting appauling people. I really wish there was more aggresive action we could take. Torturing animals is beyond compehension. No excuses.
I would like to see animals rule the world and give humans a taste of their own medicine. Each day it becomes clearer as to who the superior species is. Humans continue to torture plunder the earth and fill their greedy souls with their perspective of superiority. The recent documentary on factory farms ie pigs should be rebroadcast…along with other documentaries. If people cannot handle watching it they have only to look at their own guilt.
God is watching …we need to watch over the animals and protect then.they are not ours to abuse.no wonder why our world is in such a sad state..animals are innocent.God is offended and deeply hurt.Please protect all animals. Dont harm but love andthem respect them. Lawrence Paul Iorio.
al these people are animal abusers its sad what they do to these monkys and for what there are alternetives .these animals have a richt to live a normel live and not being abused .its horrebul stop this
anyone who reads hears knows the USDA is worthless. Yes but how can we get better people in there?? With a conscience?? I'd like then to have the same treatment they overlook for animals being abused and people being poisoned etc.
I'm pleased but it is not enough. They deserve more than a warning they need to be shut down. Whatever research they're doing would be deemed invalid anyway by the ineptitude of the process such as leaving sponges INSIDE an animal!
I think hurting animals and the harm that humans do to animals affects how mankind deal with other people. How would you like it if you were stuck in a type of situation like that. I believe it is called a P.O.W or Prisioner of War. But the war needs to end at some point and allow these animals to go back to their habitat and be free like you and I. Thank you for reading this and I hope you take it to heart and make some changes so these animals can live a life of freedom like we all expect to in this one life we have. Sincerely Jennifer Masiello
Incredibly horrible this outright torture has gone on so long if at all! Obama needs to step in make a priority!!! Please Obama help.
I am sickened by what i've just deen and resd.. If anyone on here knows how to get more invoved…I want action! let these people be exposed like this…this goes beond crulty…and the dogs??? I had to turn it off…I was sick ad vomited please email me if you have info on how I can become more involved volunteer etc…. T.Y!!!
I don't know how anyone even the dimwits at the USDA could possibly go into a laboratory and NOT see anything wrong. EVERYTHING is WRONG in an animal laboratory EVERYTHING. Animals are driven insane just by the total "lifetime" confinement and they certainly have no provisions made for even the basic comforts. Even after invasive procedures anaesthetized animals are simply thrown back into barren metal cages or left on cement floors to recover or die on their own. I'd like to lock the USDA inspectors in a cage for a week and see if the experience improves their vision.
Experiment on human stem cells and humans if you TRULY want to cure human illnesses and disabilities. Leave animals alone.
It's good news that these animal abusers are finally facing some consequences for their crimes. It's long overdue.
Has there been a change in administration at the USDA since Obama was elected? I abhor the lack of concern that the USDA has for animals and I am always amazed at how often they let animal abusers off the hook. It is apparent to me that the USDA is corrupt and probably taking money on the side to look the other way. Obama! Please clean house at the USDA!!!!!
How horrible! I have such a hard time understanding how people can act so cruel to animals. I'm definitely glad to hear that the USDA has finally attempted to put an end to abuse ONPRC has put these poor innocent animals through.

Students who are interested in gifted education have two options on the M.A. level at Teachers College.
Those with no background in education can obtain the extension in gifted education as well as certification as an elementary school teacher through the Elementary Inclusive Education Program with the gifted extension (ELGF-DUAL). This option allows students in the Elementary Inclusive Education Program to receive the New York State certificate extension in gifted education along with their initial elementary education certification by including 12 credits in gifted education in their course of study. Students who choose this option complete an additional semester of student teaching (4 credits) in a gifted education setting, which can be an inclusive setting, along with three courses in gifted education. See program description below.
The M.A. certification program in the Education of Gifted Students (GIFT-EXT) is designed for students who have graduated from an accredited teacher education program and who hold an initial teaching certificate. Graduates of the program are recommended for the New York State certificate extension in Gifted Education. Thus, completion of this program provides students with both certification in gifted education and knowledge relating to the nature, needs, and pedagogy of gifted students that contributes to greater effectiveness as a teacher in a variety of situations.
Gifted Education Extension Certification (GIFT-EXT)

There has probably been a time when you are watching TV with your dog in the room, and it seems like the canine is paying full attention to what is happening on-screen. Some dogs even whimper, bark or move closer to the TV when they are "watching" it.
Not all veterinarians and animal behaviorists agree that TV can truly captivate dogs, and some are skeptical of owners who leave their TVs on while they are not home to "keep the animal company." But the makers of DogTV, the first cable network that will deliver 24-hour programming for dogs, say it's going to change the ways canines interact with televisions, The New York Times reports.
The programs are essentially like looking out the window of a car or home for a dog. The channel airs three- to six-minute segments of bouncing balls, grassy fields and humans rubbing dogs. The programs are based on three years of research on how dogs react to different stimuli.
Although these programs may keep a pet company, they are not a cure for separation anxiety in dogs or a treatment for other dog or cat illness. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, the best treatment for this psychological condition involves training techniques and sometimes medications.
