Sheriff: Freeman accepts deal
BLUE EARTH – Brian Daniel Freeman, 30, of Ceylon has accepted a plea deal that will keep him in prison for at least 33 years, Faribault County Sheriff Mike Gormley announced Monday.
"It's probably a good plea agreement that the victims and family are happy with so they can put it behind them and move on now," Gormley said.
Freeman has been in the Faribault County jail for nearly a year after a home invasion in Blue Earth on Feb. 20 that left Christopher Fulmer, 37, dead. Freeman's wife, Candice, and her two teenage daughters were severely injured. Freeman stood accused of using a hammer to cause head injuries to all four.
Formal sentencing has been set for March 11, when Freeman will be ordered to serve 588 months, or 49 years. With good behavior, he could be out in 396 months.
"Thirty-three years, that's how long he will sit," Gormley said.
Freeman had been facing 11 felony counts and his case was set to go to trial in late March. Of the 11 counts, three pertained to Fulmer's death: murder in the first degree with premeditation; murder in the first degree while committing or attempting to commit a burglary; and murder in the second degree with intent to effect the death of that person.
Freeman faced four counts pertaining to Candice Freeman, including attempted murder in the first degree with premeditation; attempted murder in the first degree while committing or attempting to commit a burglary; attempted murder in the second degree for attempting to cause the death of another; and assault in the first degree.
Freeman faced two counts of attempted murder in the second degree and two counts of assault in the first degree related to the injuries suffered by Candice Freeman's daughters.
"We knew we had a solid case, so we were very comfortable going ahead with the trial if we had to, based on the hard work and the confessions and collecting all the evidence that we did," Gormley said.

Colorado Springs, Colo. - U.S. Olympic Committee Chief Executive Officer Jim Scherr, the first Olympic athlete to lead the USOC, is one of six individuals and one team announced Wednesday as the 2008 Class of the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame.
Scherr was a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team in Freestyle Wrestling and won two silver medals and a bronze at the World Championships. He earned three USA National Championships and two World Cup titles. He finished fifth at the Seoul Games. Scherr wrestled for the University of Nebraska, his alma mater, and won an NCAA title at 177 pounds in 1984.
Before joining the USOC, Scherr was Executive Director of Colorado Springs-based USA Wrestling and is past president of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation.
The Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame's Class of 2008 includes athletes and a team that have attained huge success, established records, won championships, and enjoyed professional achievement as part of the city's rich sports traditions.
The 2008 class, announced Wednesday at the Olympic Training Center, includes ESPN College Football GameDay host Chris Fowler, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb legend Leonard Vahsholtz, former Colorado College football coach Jerry Carle, University of Colorado basketball star Erin Scholz, renowned ice hockey administrator and internationally respected sport leader Art Berglund, and the 1965 state prep baseball champions from Colorado Springs' Palmer High School.
"To be honored by the city in which you live in is special," said Scherr, originally from Mobridge, S.D. . "I've been in Colorado Springs as an athlete, administrator and city resident for almost three decades. It is a special place and I'm honored to be a part of this group that has represented this city in many incredible ways."
The Class of 2008 will enter the Hall of Fame officially on Tuesday, October 28, at the Colorado Springs World Arena as the ninth class of inductees.
"The Colorado Springs Sports Corporation is honored to present this special Hall of Fame Class for induction," said Sports Corp Hall of Fame section committee chairman Ralph Routon. "It includes our cherished Olympic family, high school and college sports, professional leadership, and the famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb."

Dog owners may notice their four-legged friends scooting or dragging their rear ends along on the ground. Although it may seem as if the animal is simply playing around, this could be a sign of a serious problem with dog's anal sacs, also known as anal glands. Anal gland problems in dogs are very painful and require the intervention of a veterinarian, so pet owners should be on the lookout for this problem.
While scooting around on the floor is the most common clinical sign of the condition, the dog may exhibit several other signs that could indicate an issue with the anal glands. The dog may begin to lick or bite at the infected area, which is typically around the base of the tail. If the owner attempts to touch the dog's tail or rear end, he may become aggressive or wince in pain. In some cases, digestive problems or diarrhea in dogs may be observed several weeks before the pain sets in.
When functioning normally, the anal sac is responsible for the dog "marking its territory" when it passes feces. The glands produce a secretion unique to the dog that allows it to "mark" a certain area with its droppings. This secretion is why dogs are often so interested in smelling each other's feces. However, it's quite common for these glands to become infected for various reasons. When they do, the glands become enlarged and make it painful for the dog to go to the bathroom. The normal secretion may also become thicker and it's possible for the sacs to even burst, leaving behind a green or yellow pus.
The good news is that veterinarians can treat anal gland problems relatively easily. The doctor will sedate the animal, then manipulate the sac area to empty the glands and reduce the swelling. The dog will be prescribed antibiotics and pain medication to help it cope for the next few days as the area heals.
While the issue is relatively simple to treat, it's likely to recur, especially in overweight dogs. In these instances, the veterinarian may recommend complete removal of the anal sacs. As the purpose of these glands is to allow the dog to "mark its territory," they are not actually necessary for domesticated animals. Thus, it may be easier to simply remove the anal glands altogether so they do not trouble the dog any further.

Jim Cramer's Stock Market Predictions for 2013
Speaking at the Deal Economy 2013 "Beyond the Election" conference at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, Nov. 30, the "Mad Money" host and founder of TheStreet Inc. lamented on a host of global macroeconomic conditions that have weighed down on economies in the U.S. and Europe and stalled dealmaking.
"Most deals in 2012 were done out of fear," said Cramer. "I expect 2013 to be a better year. We'll get a resolution one way or another. The world will be a much better and more hospitable place for deals."
Cramer said he believed that dealmaking hit a trough in 2012 amid conditions including weakening economic activity in some of the BRIC nations like Brazil and China, and debt woes plaguing the Eurozone, as well as the looming showdown among power brokers in Washington over the fiscal cliff.
And while Cramer believes it won't be until January at the earliest that U.S. lawmakers reach an agreement on a national budget, he's certain that M&A will accelerate once an accord is struck. Cramer discussed ten deals he expects to happen in 2013 that should give healthy boosts to the respective stocks involved.
Generally speaking, according to Cramer, most deals will be geared toward unlocking shareholder value and boosting stock performance. But one "major force" for deals in the new year will be a push by executives for stocks to outperform sector-wide exchange traded funds, he said. ETFs act as a benchmark to measure stocks to determine certain aspects of executive compensation, particularly bonuses.
In a list of ten deals he expects in 2013, Cramer predicted three breakups, one "merger of equals," a likely take-private, and a possible auction. He also highlighted four attractive targets.
Prediction Number 10:
For beginners, Cramer predicts a break-up of Manitowoc Co. into separate construction and foodservice equipment companies. He said Manitowoc's construction company will operate more efficiently as a stand-alone business in the wake of infrastructure improvements in China and rebuilding efforts in the Northeast from Hurricane Sandy. The foodservice operations will benefit from middle class growth abroad. The two units together do not make logistical sense, he said.
Prediction Number 9:
Cramer also targeted New Brunswick, N.J. healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson Inc. as a breakup candidate. He believes J&J has become too unwieldy for its own good and should split into consumer products, medical devices and a pharmaceutical businesses. Cramer cited Covdien plc, which split itself in half in December 2011, as an example of an efficient breakup.

efforts of hospice volunteer Roberta "Bobbie" Thompson, who found refuge for the cats. She also enjoyed gardening with her friend and neighbor, John Murgatroyd. Besides her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her nephew, Harold Thomas Stumpf III and Catherine M. Stumpf (Aunt Kate) who raised her
and her siblings after the deaths of their parents. She was also predeceased by her husband, David L. Salhoff. She is survived by her sister, Margaret A.
(Stumpf) Terese of Santa Fe, Texas, and her brother, H. Thomas Stumpf of Haymarket, Virginia. Also surviving are nephews Thomas A. Terese of San Antonio,
Texas, Major Timothy A. Terese of Dupont, Washington, and niece Lisa Erin Stumpf of Ashburn, Virginia. Her children will likely show the same love and
respect they showed her in life. A memorial service will be held at a future date. The family would like to thank the Visiting Nursing Association and Hospice
Chautauqua County for the care and comfort they provided. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice Chautauqua Pet Peace of Mind Program, 20 West

I,ve just rediscovered this song, I'd forgotten how good it is.
I put FITD in my car the other week, and havent yet taken it out.
The tape has just been going round and round in my stereo for about
three weeks. I haven't listened to it for about a year up untill now, I love rediscovering albums like that. It brings it all back why I got into Macca in the first place. But I agree that "That day is done" is possibly the best track on FITD!!.[8D]

Thanks foodblogger. How did your Wig and Pen stuffed turn out and did you work out a baker's percent formula for it?Randy, I'll say that I still prefer both the Gino's clone and Malnati's clone to this. . . but this is a good pie. Loo
OK, is it ever really finished?I'm upping my TF on this to .125 so I have a little more to build up a crust ring. Also, I'm going to start adding a little water to the sauce to thin it out in hopes of preventing the crust from crisping all the way through. How much? I'm not sure yet.Loo
This may have already been answered, but did anyone use smoked mozzarella on the HRI pizza. Their cheese is very distinct with a smoky flavor. In my mind that is what sets them apart from other pizzas.Thanks
Haven't tried it but in Peter's research he found they use a blend of mozzerella cheeses so it's possible that a smoked mozz is one of them.Loo
George, Loo may have some input from having eaten his share of HRI pizzas and may want to respond, but the information about the use of a blend of mozzarella cheeses originally came from the article referenced at the Gayot.com link at Reply 6 at. The use of a blend of three mozzarella cheeses for the HRI frozen pizzas was confirmed by an HRI employee, as discussed at Reply 7. I suppose it's possible that the cheeses HRI uses for the pizzas in their stores are different from what they use on their frozen pizzas, but everything that I found about the pizzas from my research suggested that the company tries to make their frozen pizzas as close as possible to the pizzas they make in their stores. The information provided at the HRI website on their frozen pizzas does not mention smoked mozzarella cheese. Since labelling laws don't require that distinction, there would be no need or purpose in disclosing that they use smoked mozzarella cheese. No doubt Leprino makes several forms of mozzarella cheese, so a possible combination might include low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese, and smoked mozzarella cheese. Combinations of the part-skim and whole-milk mozzarella cheeses are very common in the pizza industry, so adding smoked mozzarella cheese to that combination would not be a big leap. Peter
Welcome to the forum, George. You'll see that Peter is a superstar around here on multiple fronts and his help in putting together this clone was nothing short of stellar. And we should also acknowledge his excellent new avatar! I haven't tried to come up with a mix of mozzarella cheeses for this yet as I usually have only one type of mozz on hand at a time. One way to try to cheat this mix and get that smokey flavor would be to try to blend in some provalone and see how that works as far as replicating HRI's blend. Tinkering and making it your own is what makes this so great. Loo
As anyone else noticed that Reggio's frozen pizza is almost identical to HRI?

I was a three-sport athlete at Dennis-Yarmouth regional high school and continued my educational and athletic pursuits at Rutgers University, which offered a competitive division 1 field hockey program and a strong forestry/natural resource management curriculum at Cook College. After graduating from Rutgers I was a gardener at the Leonard J. Buck Garden in Far Hills, New Jersey for several years. I returned to Massachusetts and was working for Chestnut Hill Realty's landscape maintenance division when I took a leave of absence to be a summer intern at the Arboretum in 1994. I was hired in the spring of 1995 to maintain the Bradley Collection of Rosaceous Plants and continue to spend the majority of my time in this newly renovated garden. I also look after the Arboretum's (NAPCC) Acer Collection, recently ranked most significant in the world for conservation purposes, as well as the historic Walter Street Burying Grounds. I volunteer for the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and have been a member of the Rose Garden Advisory Committee since 2001, working on the restoration of the James P.

Bizarro Back Issues: Sailor Venus Kicks Misogyny Into A Coma At Her Local Arcade (1992)
We're only a few weeks away from the debut of a brand-new Sailor Moon Crystal animated series, and folks, I could not be more excited. I love Sailor Moon, ever since I saw the original anime during its run on Cartoon Network when I was a kid, and I've been looking forward to the debut of Crystal from the moment it was announced. In fact, in order to prepare for the debut, I've even gone back and started reading through the manga.
The thing is, while I've read a lot of Sailor Moon, there's one piece of the franchise that I've never been all that familair with: Naoko Takeuchi's Codename: Sailor V, which I only picked up recently. And it is fantastic, if only for the story where Sailor Venus beats the living crap out of some MRA gamer dork at the local arcade.

As Garrett Popcorn prepares to POP up in Detroit, we took a trip to bring a taste of the Windy City to our friends in the Motor City.
Last weekend, a team from our Chicago offices took off on a road trip to visit the location of our newest Shop in Michigan. On Friday, we took our Happy Friday tradition to the fine people of Detroit, giving them a taste of our signature Garrett Mix!
Garrett Popcorn loved hitting up the Beach Party at Campus Martius Park and seeing how excited everyone was to get their hands on our world famous Garrett Mix. Later on, we stopped by Comercia Park while the Detroit Tigers were playing to share our happiness as well. In just 90 minutes, we had shared our Handcrafted Happiness with 500 people!
The reception we received from the people of Detroit was spectacular. Some of our fans even told us they "literally drive back to Chicago once a month for Garrett Popcorn!" Imagine their excitement knowing we'd be coming to Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi just next month!
On Saturday morning, we set up our booth at the Woodward Dream Cruise. From 9am to 4pm, we handed our over 8,000 complimentary samples of Garrett Popcorn to the attendees.
To see more from our adventures in Detroit last weekend, check out our photo albums on both Google+ and Pinterest. Also, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for news of when our Shop will officially be POPPING up in Detroit.

Staghorn - Evil Towering Mutant Tracker
The Towering Mutant Tracker from the deepest, darkest part of the frozen Fog Zone on the evil planet Denebria. His dreaded shield of horns and heat-seeking eye enable him to move through the dense ice clouds and flip anything in his path out of the way. Serving Flogg as one his Mutant henchmen, Staghorn is an aggressive Mutant warrior. Staghorn has a fearsome appearance; one of his eyes is permanently closed. He possesses a helmet with large metal pikes protruding from it, which he uses in battle to pick up his enemies and throw them around; he removes the helmet when on duty on the Mothership.
Staghorn is first seen along with the other Mutants on the planet Enos,where the Mutants were meeting with the Primans to discuss the possibility of peace. A little later, during an intergalactic rode-show, Skeletor planned to trap He-Man while having the Mutants disguise themselves as rodeo workers,Staghorn was amongst them. He was surprised to encounter his old enemy,Sagitar, and dropped his disguise, his desire to fight his old enemy forcing Skeletor to enact his plans early and revealing the Mutant presence there.
Staghorn has a fearsome appearance; one of his eyes is permanently closed. He possesses a helmet with large metal pikes protruding from it, which he uses in battle to pick up his enemies and throw them around; he removes thehelmet when on duty on the Mothership.
Staghorn is perhaps the most unstable of the Mutants, his hot headed nature and rivalry with Sagitar have endangered the Mutants carefully laid plans more than once. When the Mothership was caught in a great storm in space, Staghorn took advantage of the tense situation aboard the ship and planned to mutiny against Flogg, setting himself up as the new leader of the Mutants, he managed to recruit Quakke, BH and Optikk to his cause. But ultimately the mutiny ended when the Mutants were forced to put aside their differences tosave themselves. Staghorn is no fool, and has even taken command of the Mutant son missions before. However, Skeletor did once use a device on him that increased his intelligence, ultimately the effects were reversed when he and the other Mutants became too intelligent and ambitious.
Staghorn's rivalry with Sagitar ultimately came to a head when the Mutants commenced a full scale invasion of the planet Equinos. The Mutants attempted to lure He-Man and the Galactic Guardians into a trap, and succeeded in briefly occupying the planet before being driven back by it's native inhabitants and He-Man. Staghorn confronted his old enemy Sagitar once more,but on this occasion, it was Sagitar who was the victor – overpowering Staghorn and hurling him from the top of a cliff into a river. Staghorn, realising he had lost, screamed in rage violently, as the Mutants were driven from the planet.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Deb Good purchase Very comfortable, stylish and support a good cause. The fit is a little snug so I am not constantly readjusting the Velcro closure. I will order these again. March 14, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5�by mel2014 Good value for the money spent! The gloves are true to the picture. Cute color combo. It would be nice to see the same pair but better quality by GoFit, too. December 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Diego Greah product Purchased it for my wife and she absolutely loved the looks since the beggining. Its exactly what she was looking for. Not too big but good enough comfort and padding. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by AmieB5 Great product! These gloves are very nice. Comfortable and the color is fantastic. While handling weights I felt no discomfort and the grip is very good. I would definitely recommend these to anyone! The shipping was excellent and very quick considering I am in Germany! January 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by carolee333 Seemed good at first At first these gloves seemed like they would do the trick. They're inexpensive, which I thought was great because I use only light weights (at home) a few times per week and didn't want to put a lot of money into them. I wanted them mainly to protect my rings from getting scratched. I wear size small in gloves, so that's what I ordered, and I think that was the right size. They were a little tight in the beginning, but loosened up quickly so that they felt pretty good after a few workouts. I was surprised then, when the sewn part of the velcro tab separated from the glove. I looked closely at the glove with the still intact velcro tab, and it appeared as if it was barely stitched to the glove. So, I guess that one might tear off too. So, in hind sight, I wish I had paid a little more, and gotten a higher quality glove. The good news is, Dick"s has a fantastic return policy, and I know I'll have no difficulty returning them! December 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Quirky Pretty and pink... I use these at the gym everyday. They run a little big, but are easy to get on and off. I have another pair I drop in the washer and lay flat to dry. They definitely help me when using free weights and equipment at the gym..no callouses and pretty in pink! December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shelley7 Pink Ribbon Rocks! I love these work out gloves! I am a breast cancer survivor and work out 4 days a week to continue my good health. I'm very picky about my gloves....how they feel and fit. AND I love to sport the Pink Ribbon!!! I couldn't have found better gloves!!! They wash and dry great too!! November 13, 2012

To which Global Exploration Fund—Northern Europe grant program (Research, Conservation, or Exploration) should I apply?
Research grants must have hypothesis-based scientific research as a primary focus and are awarded based on potential for new advances in field sciences. Conservation grants will be awarded for innovative and applied approaches to conservation issues with potential for global application. Exploration grants support exploration and adventure around the world and are approved by media experts looking for engaging stories and topics suitable for National Geographic media.
Can you mail me an application?
No. Please apply for a grant using the online application.
I am a student. Should I apply in my advisor's name?
No. The individual who will be responsible for carrying out the fieldwork should apply in his/her own name.
My application was not successful; can I get feedback?
We do not provide feedback to declined applicants.
Do you provide funding for scholarships, tuition, travel to conferences, or studies abroad?
Does the grant get paid to the individual principal investigator/applicant, or to their affiliated organization (e.g., university, agency or NGO)?
Grants are awarded to an individual, the Principal Investigator. However, the PI may request that payment be made directly to, and administered by his or her affiliated organization.
Can I apply to more than one program at a time?
No. Please apply to only one program at a time unless you are applying for different research.
How do I apply for a continuation of a previous National Geographic grant or a supplemental grant?
Please complete and submit a new application in order to apply for a continuation of the same project previously funded by NGS.
Why do you ask about fieldwork being done in the countries of Somalia, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Cuba, Iran, or Syria?
If your application is approved for fieldwork in one of these countries, you will be required to obtain an Office of Foreign Assets Control license through the U.S. Treasury before National Geographic is able to disburse your grant funds.
When should I submit my full application?
Full applications should be submitted at least eight months in advance of anticipated project dates.
What is the page limit for the project description, and does this include references?
We ask that you keep your project description under 3 single-spaced pages, or approximately 1500 words. The text fields in the online form do not allow you to format your text - do not use bullets, bold, italics, or any other type of formatting. Please enter your references in the separate text field labeled "Bibliography/References."
What are the "Other Sources"?
This refers to the funding requests you have made to other organizations for your project. Any funding already received should be listed in the section "Budget - Other sources of funding."
Are reviews of my application confidential?
Yes. While the three names that you recommend to serve as reviewers will be visible to all reviewers, the reviews themselves are kept confidential. We do not share reviews with the applicant or other external reviewers.
I need a computer and other equipment. Can I use the grant to purchase these items?
Major non-expendable equipment requests (over 750 euros) may be included in your budget. However, you will be asked to explain how the equipment is integral to your project and not available through other sources of funding.
Is it possible to change or extend my field dates once an application has been submitted?
If your reasons are legitimate, field dates can be extended after checking with the Program Officer. Start dates may be changed, but changing them will not expedite the review of your application.
My additional documents will not upload properly OR I was not prompted to upload my additional documents (i.e., CV, budget, figures, map, etc.). How do I resolve this?
You will be prompted to upload documents on the last page of the application.
If you are unable to upload files, please email them to email@example.com. Please include your last name in the subject line of the email. For example: "Smith, Research Budget."
I am having problems with the fields "Amount Requested From the Society" and "Total Project Budget."
Please type in only numbers. No text or punctuation is allowed in these fields.
Can I include research assistant stipends or consultant fees in my budget?
The hiring of assistants, consultants or specialists should be restricted to the actual need for such services; you will be asked to justify this need. Assistants should receive compensation above food and lodging that is consistent with local rates of compensation. For students from developed countries, funding is normally limited to per diem expenses.
Can I include salaries for the Principal Investigator in my budget?
No. Salaries for PIs are not allowed.
I am a PhD student but do not have three or more publications. Am I still eligible for funding?
Research: Generally, competition is very keen for PhD students. If you do not have peer-reviewed publications your application will probably not be successful.
Conservation & Exploration: Though advanced academic degrees are not required, applicants are expected to have qualifications and experience pertinent to the expedition or project they propose.
Can I attach letters of recommendation?
No. You will be asked to provide contact information for three references. These references will confidentially review your application. We do not accept letters of recommendation outside of this review process.
I cannot access my saved application form; when I type in the URL I am directed to a new form.
You are likely trying to access your application from the wrong URL. Please make sure to quit your browser completely, then launch it again and go to https://www.grantrequest.com/SID_69?SA=AM. You can log into the system as normal and will find your saved application.
I am trying to access my account page, but when I type in the URL I am directed to the last page of the form I was working on.
Please quit your browser completely, then launch it again and go to https://www.grantrequest.com/SID_69?SA=AM. You will be directed to your account page.
I found mistakes in my application after it was submitted and would like to edit them.
Unfortunately, there is no way for you to edit your application once it has been submitted. You are welcome to email any changes to the appropriate grant program to firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I choose my Final Report and Financial Accounting due dates, as required in my Grant Agreement?
As written in each program's Grant Agreement, the Research and Conservation programs require that you turn in your Final Report and Financial Accounting within eight months from the end of the fieldwork dates you provided in your application. The Exploration grant program requires that you turn in a Final Report within two months from the end of your fieldwork, and Financial Accounting within six months. Using these guidelines, please write your reporting due dates into the Grant Agreement before signing and mailing it. If your project fieldwork dates have changed since your original application, please inform a Program Officer, as this may also change your expected reporting dates. We encourage you to print out your grant paperwork on both sides of your paper to conserve natural resources.
Is the grant paid to the individual PI or to their affiliate organization (e.g. university, institution)?
Grants are awarded to an individual, the Principal Investigator. However, the PI may request that payment be made directly to, and administered by his or her affiliated organization. Regardless of the method you choose, please make sure the "payee" of the grant fills out an appropriate tax form.
My country of citizenship has not adopted the euro. Can my grant be paid in a currency other than the euro?
No. At this time, all Global Exploration Fund - Northern Europe grants are awarded in euros.
What is the best way to correspond with National Geographic?
In your grant agreement paperwork you should find a contact list for National Geographic staff members that are involved in various aspects of our grant programs and media coverage. To expedite e-mail responses, please place your full name and grant number in the subject line.
Do I need to mail you my original grant documents, or can I just fax them once they are completed?
If you have just been notified of a grant award and are going into the field in less than two weeks, you may fax us your grant paperwork first, but since the difference in processing time is only about two to three days, we encourage you to save natural resources and mail us your original documents outright. Regardless, all grantees or their institutions must mail us the original, signed grant documents soon thereafter. Failure to do so may affect the outcome of future grant applications to NGS.
Do all of my team members need to sign a Project Member Agreement (Research and Conservation) or Expedition Member Agreement (Exploration) before I go into the field, or can I mail it in later?
Research & Conservation: For those PIs who cannot feasibly have all of their team members sign a Project Member Agreement before they start their fieldwork, we will accept a signed original once you have met them in the field.
Exploration: PIs of Expeditions Council grants should make every effort possible to have their team members sign an Expedition Member Agreement and mail it in before they go into the field. This will help prevent delays in any media-related activities resulting from your expedition.
All Programs: If you cannot obtain all the necessary signatures of your collaborators in time for your fieldwork, please include an explanation with your grant paperwork, and the date that we can expect them. Failure to complete a Project or Expedition Member Agreement may affect the outcome of future grant applications to NGS.
What format should I use for the Financial Accounting?
The format of your Financial Accounting should be similar to the budget page that you submitted within your application. If there are any discrepancies, an explanation is required.
Should I send in receipts of the expenditures accrued during the project?

Suspect in Custody Following Shots Fired Incident
Still defending Obamacare
Half-truths as well as outright lies have become all President Barack Obama has to defend his Obamacare health insurance takeover.
Clearly, the president is stalling the American people, hoping they will believe his claims about Obamacare until it is too late to repeal the program.
That already has occurred for millions of people whose health insurance policies have been canceled. As of Tuesday, the number in that category was about four million – far more than have signed up for insurance through Obamacare.
Obama lied for years about whether those people could keep the insurance they had, if they liked it. In a purely public relations move a few weeks ago, he said those who receive insurance cancellation notices would be able to keep their coverage for another year.
As the president probably knew at the time, the change came too late. Insurance companies and state insurance commissioners throughout the country said that – because of Obamacare – coverage such as that in most of the canceled policies simply does not exist anymore.
On Monday, White House officials claimed severe problems with the www.healthcare.gov website have been corrected. The site was visited about a million times that day, they claimed.
Then a reporter asked how many of those visitors actually enrolled for insurance coverage. The White House would not say. The arrogance of releasing a flattering number, then refusing to provide one that might reflect badly on the administration, is breathtaking.
But why not? Obama has gotten away with it for years, though public opinion polls indicate most Americans no longer trust him. Why, then, do we continue to trust Obamacare?

WOCCU's international partnerships program continued growing in 2005 with the addition
of several partnerships: Bahamas/Massachusetts, Jamaica/Texas, Mexico ALIANZA/New
Mexico, Puerto Rico/New York. First steps were also taken by Costa Rica/Alabama, Hong
Kong/British Columbia, and Panama/Iowa.
The trend toward sophisticated technical exchanges is clear in several partnerships.With
increased interest in international transactions and technology-driven operations in credit
unions, many U.S. League partners are now playing a key role when working with WOCCU
to provide operational expertise and to offer experienced advice in information technology
requirements to developing partners.
The program has received increasing media attention in the United States. Several articles,
press releases and other communications have been published in both the trade and
mainstream press. Of all press releases generated by WOCCU in 2005, 25% are directly
related to partnership activities. WOCCU has used these relationships to showcase how
credit unions can lead the globalization of today's economies in a way that perfects the
services to members and improves their ability to increase their income, build wealth and
improve financial literacy.
One of the highlights of the year was the announcement made by the National Credit Union
Foundation (NCUF) bestowing the United States credit union movement's highest honor on
a partnership benefiting credit unions in the U.S. and Mexico. The World Council of Credit
Unions, the California-Nevada Credit Union League and the Texas Credit Union League, in
partnership with Caja Popular Mexicana, earned the 2005 Herb Wegner Memorial Award
for Outstanding Program. This very partnership has been a vehicle to test whether the
program can be taken to the next level and take on sophisticated assignments such as
purchasing of software, establishing call centers, conducting risk management, creating
operational manuals, and lobbying at the international level.
Another important event was the first-ever International Partnerships Workshop and Hike
the Hill. Twenty-seven individuals from 11 U.S. leagues involved in the program
participated in the first ever International Partnerships workshop held October 20-21, in
conjunction with International Credit Union Day. Representatives from Alabama, Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina,
Oregon, and Texas were able to highlight their partnership on Capitol Hill as they
demonstrated constituent support for WOCCU's work and how credit unions put the
"people helping people" philosophy to work internationally.
At the workshop several WOCCU staff spoke about WOCCU's approach to international
credit union development and how international partnerships complement the company's
mission. In an interactive session, Nancy Buchan, assistant professor of marketing at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke about cross cultural business behavior. To close the
workshop, Kasey Rockwell, director of credit union advocacy for the Credit Union
Association of Oregon, and Kathy Chartier, president and CEO of Members Credit Union,
Stanford Connecticut and the board chair of Connecticut Credit Union Association, led a
feedback session on partnerships.
Feedback indicated that the main concern was the promotion and awareness of the program.
A direct result of the feedback session was the creation of a weblog—or blog. The
International Partnerships Blog (http://partnershipsblog.blogspot.com) is used to instantly
publish information regarding program activities in a forum setting. Participants can post,
discuss, and seek individual partnership details on the interactive webpage. The program will
utilize this and other resources to increase awareness and make partnerships more inclusive.
The department goal continues to be making the partnerships as effective as possible.
Partners work with WOCCU to conduct planning sessions to set annual goals and work
plans for their partnerships. Each partnership conducts a feedback session at the end of
each quarter to measure work plan effectiveness so priorities and activities are continually
evaluated and realigned. This assures that the partnership remains focused and both
partners feel that their relationship adds value to their mission.
All partnerships are country-to-state league; some include credit union-to-credit union
matches under the state league umbrella. As of December 2005, WOCCU's international
partnerships portfolio consisted of 19 active partnerships and 3 progressing toward formal

Carthage Crime Report
In response to the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 requiring all postsecondary institutions to prepare an annual report detailing crime prevention policy and campus crime statistics, Carl Sandburg College has issued its 2011 Crime Awareness and Campus Security Report showing data for calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
This annual report features Carl Sandburg College policies regarding crime prevention issues, services performed by the college, anti-crime information available through the college, crime statistics and prescribed standards of conduct as set forth by the policies of the Board of Trustees.
Department of Public Saftey
Carl Sandburg College provides for safety and security needs of students, faculty, staff and visitors through its campus security guards and physical plant personnel which are on site 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Any person who witnesses a crime or becomes a victim of a crime should report it as soon as possible to the department of public safety located in D201. The department can also be reached from any on-campus/college phone simply by calling the campus operator (Dial - 0). Security may also be reached 24 hours a day by dialing (309) 341-5304. Questions about safety, security or law enforcement issues should be referred to the director of public safety, located in D201A or by calling (309) 341-5325. The director of public safety receives all incident/accident reports filed by any individual of the college community. When multiple incidents occur during the same time frame, reports and subsequent action by security guards are handled in order of priority: 1) personal safety, 2) property crime, 3) services.
Emergency Phone System
Carl Sandburg College's Emergency Telephone System is now in place. The system consists of twelve (12) outside emergency telephones located with a • on the map and fourteen (14) inside emergency telephones located with an H on the map. All emergency telephones on campus are connected to the college switchboard. The switchboard is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If the caller is unable to respond verbally, the boxes are a one-button system enhanced by location ID. All emergency telephones will ring directly to the public safety dispatch center. A public safety officer will then respond to your location within minutes. This system is for emergencies only or when you need public safety assistance. This would include medical emergencies, accidents, reporting a fire, or request for escorting of students. This system is not for general information on campus activities or directions. Every classroom has an in-house telephone that can be used to reach the Galesburg Public Safety Building by dialing 911. Any situation that requires a call to the Galesburg Public Safety Building should be reported to Campus Security by dialing 5499. Any abuse or violation of the Emergency Telephone System will lead to disciplinary action, arrest, or prosecution.
Facilty Access
The facilities of this college are provided by the State of Illinois and the Carl Sandburg College District to provide a service to this college community. The service includes not only the instructional program, but a public service beyond that normally called instruction. The facilities of the college may be used by other groups and organizations for such purposes that will extend and enhance the general welfare of the total community. Carl Sandburg's Galesburg campus is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays; and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, excluding declared holidays. During closed periods, all exterior doors are locked to prohibit unauthorized entry. Faculty and staff may enter after hours by making prior arrangements with their supervisor and/or the department of public safety. Student access to facilities after hours is prohibited unless they have the expressed permission of a college employee and campus security has been notified. Security officers utilize motor and foot patrol as well as two-way radio/telephone communications to monitor the premises both inside and out. Security personnel monitor CCTV with numerous cameras located throughout campus.
Enforcement Policies
The Board of Trustees of Community College District #518 has employed security personnel which report to the director of public safety. Their primary purpose is to monitor and maintain the security of college assets and personnel by observing, reporting and then acting within the framework of established procedures. In this capacity, security personnel facilitate conservation of the peace by working harmoniously with all local law enforcement agencies. In the event of classroom/student and/or other college-business related emergency, college personnel are instructed to remove themselves from dangerous situations. If the immediacy of the situation requires intervention, college employees will call the proper emergency agency by dialing 911 from the nearest public phone or 911 from the nearest college phone.
With the exception of the director of public safety, security personnel are not sworn Illinois police officers and, as a result do not have arrest powers. The Carl Sandburg College Department of Public Safety staff frequently work with the Galesburg Police Department. The two agencies cooperate whenever possible on investigations and crime prevention programs to provide the best possible services to our campus and local communities.
Information Programs
Carl Sandburg College endeavors to reduce the likelihood and opportunity for unsafe activity on campus through a proactive risk management program involving all campus constituencies. The College maintains a substance abuse awareness program to inform students and employees about the dangers of substance/alcohol abuse, college policy of maintaining a substance/alcohol-free environment, available abuse counseling and rehabilitation assistance programs, and the penalties that may be imposed upon students and employees for violations occurring in the college. Students and employees are encouraged to be responsible for their own security.
Written literature on all aspects of the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 is available in the Office of the Director of Public Safety.
Crime Statistics
Carl Sandburg College provides crime statistics involving murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arrests for liquor, drug and weapons violations in accordance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990. All incidents of a criminal nature occurring at off-campus facilities are reported to that facility's local law enforcement agency.
No Residence Halls on- or off-campus.
Any questions about the Crime Statistics or safety issues on Carl Sandburg College can be directed to the Director of Public Safety at 341-5325.
Last updated 10/12
Standards of Conduct
College policy and regulations prohibit:
1. The illegal use of controlled substances, as well as their manufacture, distribution, dispensation, or possession on Carl Sandburg College property or as any part of college activities, events, classes, programs or services.
2. The sale of tobacco on college property.
3. The illegal use or abuse of alcohol by students, visitors, or employees on Carl Sandburg College property or activities.
4. Use of tobacco products in the building is prohibited.
Disciplinary Actions
College policy further stresses that:
- Upon enrolling in the college, each student assumes an obligation to conduct himself or herself in a manner that is compatible with the college's function as an educational institution. If this obligation is neglected or ignored by the student, the college may institute appropriate disciplinary action as outlined in the Carl Sandburg College Policies and Regulations Manual.
- Where emergency situations occur, the administration shall be authorized to undertake reasonable and appropriate measures to correct and control potential dangers.
- The college administration shall strive to maintain a drug-free campus for all college employees and students. Procedures for on-campus disciplinary action are addressed in the Carl Sandburg College Academic Catalog under the framework of "Student Concerns, Grievances, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination." This section is always updated for proper care and counseling of students and personnel in the area of forcible and non-forcible sexual assault and other cases of sexual harassment. In addition, disciplinary action is also outlined in the Carl Sandburg College Policies and Procedures Manual.
Every effort has been made to provide you with information of value in assisting you in sharing responsibility for your personal safety while on campus. We urge you to contact the Office of the Coordinator of Environmental Services should you have any questions regarding this material or any safety issue. Policies adopted by the Board of Trustees in compliance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act are available from: Secretary, Board of Trustees, Community College District #518, Henson Administrative Center, 2400 Tom L. Wilson Blvd., Galesburg, IL 61401.

Espresso Brown Mushroom Cut
This is a cute hairstyle as the hair is short all around. Some may call this the bowl haircut as it has been rounded. Starting from the front, thick bangs are styled across. At the sides, the hair is styled to come to a point in front of the ears. At the sides, the hair partly covers the ears with the hair at back, short.The hair is short.A rich, warm espresso brown with copper shimmer highlights.

Redhead Hobo Chic Style
Rock is alive in this copper-clad dude that sports a hippie-flavored 70s look with vintage style moustache. It has a high fashion quality what with the clean brushed up fringe that gave the body additional volume. The back is slightly waved as well so that it looks thick and solid. The glossy finish intensified it and turned this model into a hot pin-up artist that can paint the town red.

From mist-shrouded forests, home to mountain gorillas, to passes where the full force of the Nile gushes through a 20-foot gap in the rock, Uganda beckons travelers searching for a hidden jewel in the vast continent of Africa. Taking a road less-traveled into the misty rainforests of this unique country, International Expeditions' Uganda expedition allows you to savor four national parks — Murchison Falls, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, and Kibale — each a destination in its own right. There's no better way to absorb Uganda's sweeping savannahs, captivating cultures and glorious wildlife than International Expeditions' comprehensive Uganda safari.
Explore Africa's "Pearl"
Winston Churchill dubbed Uganda the "Pearl of Africa" for good reason. It's a diverse country, green and tropical, with savannahs, forests, lakes, branches of the Nile and snow-covered peaks. Our comprehensive trek exposes you to wildlife and plants characteristic of both East and West Africa, meaning that you can see more on IE's Uganda expedition than you could just about anywhere else.
Five Parks; A Thousand "Highlights"
Our Uganda travel package has extraordinary scope, taking in one highlight after another in four national parks. Unquestionably, IE guests rave about tracking gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — seeing gorillas in the wild has to rank among the greatest thrills in natural history. Plus, on our Uganda expedition, you look for chimpanzees in Kibale Forest; see world-famous Murchison Falls, the Mountains of the Moon and the wildlife of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Small Groups & Big Adventure
Your small Uganda travel group of just 10 guests will break into smaller groups when tracking gorillas and chimpanzees so you're assured the personal attention you deserve for our knowledgeable local naturalists.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Why there's no flag at memorial
To the editor:
We do have a beautiful Upper Peninsula War Memorial and Park located at the top of Pine Mountain but, we also have the following concern.
If you were wondering why there is no American Flag flying on top of the hill at the memorial, I will try to explain. The flag that is flown from Memorial Day to Veterans Day is a 20 foot by 30 foot flag and is rather expensive. Replacing the flag is the biggest expense that the corporation has in maintaining the Memorial at the top of Pine Mountain. The weather and wind really are hard on a flag at that location, and winter weather is even worse because of the flag getting wet and freezes.
That is why there is no flag flying from November through May, although there is an American Flag and a POW-MIA flag on the front of the pavilion in the park so it is not like we do not have any flag being displayed.
We do hope people will understand how hard it is to keep a flag flying on top of that hill with the weather that we have. The expense of replacing these flags costs approximately $4,800 per year for purchasing and repairs of the flags, and for the electric bill for night time flying of the flag.
Squadron No. 50 War Memorial Corporation is asking if there are any organizations, clubs, businesses or individuals in the Upper Peninsula that might be interested in sponsoring a flag or making a monetary donation to help us keep money in the account for replacing the flag.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring a flag or making a donation, you can contact Robert Massicotte at 221-9964 or just send any donations marked Flag Chairman to: Squadron 50 War Memorial Corp., 916 River Ave., Iron Mountain, MI 49801.

Share Your Orders Thread
Meeeehhhhh. I completely caved and ended up ordering from RiverTea. 50% off was just too good to pass up. I'm so weak willed when it comes to tea. And now this is two orders within a few weeks of each other when otherwise I didn't have an order for months. Now I'm just resisting that Verdant order that keeps lurking around the edges at me….and the Whispering Pines one….And the Andrews & Dunham…. XD
Picked up 50g each of these:
Assam Beast of the East
Traditional Yunnan
Golden Yunnan
Golden Himalaya
Sumatra Special
Granny's Cake
You know, I find it surprising that the 50% off deal is only through word of mouth. There's nothing about the coupon on the RiverTea website, Facebook page, or Twitter feed.
i thought it was only for new orders – like a first time buys thing but it looks like everyone is able to use it heh
Sneaky! I never saw the original ad, so I wonder if it was just supposed to be for new accounts, but then we leaked the code?
Not sure. This was actually my first order with RiverTea, even though I opened the account back in February. But I definitely didn't receive any promo emails about it either.
That's odd! I got a few e-mails from them in the past week about 50% off. They did mention that the discount is somewhat connected to "first orders" but they were doing it a little vaguely… This was my second order with them but they never said anything about the coupon not being valid for me. Also, they had a banner for it on their website when I was ordering and I am pretty sure it didn't restrict the coupon for new visitors / first orders.
I placed my first Taiwan Tea Crafts order! Sil reminded me that if you only order the 25g samples and spend $25 or more you can get free shipping with 'freeship25' as the coupon.
I ended up grabbing 25g each of:
Yuchi Wild Mountain Black Tea, Lot 242 -$8.50
Sun Moon Lake Premium Grade Assam Black Tea, Lot 269 -$7.50
Alishan Mi Xian Black Tea, Lot 229 -$11.50
1982 Sun Moon Lake Aged Black Tea, Lot 220 -$4.25
Family Heritage Charcoal Fired Oolong Tea, Lot 265 -6.75
which added up really quick, but I'm excited to delve into these fancy unflavoured teas!
Also, I had a glitch in my cart when I tried to checkout, so they said they will also throw in 25g of a new Spring 2014 Assam that isn't on the site yet! Wow. I'm impressed! I only hope this isn't one of those companies that require a signature on delivery because that means automatic tea jail and I want this yesterday. Haha. :P. Ok, time to calm down and drink tea.
YAY! and the packaging is so pretty..i'm excited for you. also dibs on trying the assam! haha..and maybe the charcoal oolong :)
Every time I get on their site to place an order I get overwhelmed. I want to order EVERYTHING. You have a great list to start with I might just have to place a duplicate order:)
teatiff… keep it to 25$ with 25g sizes.. free shipping… then place another order after you've tried a few…
Today is my lucky day because in a couple of days i will be reunited with Two Tigers and Finbarr's Revenge. Terri HarpLady sent me many samples, but these two were exceptional (for me). I was sad to learn that Two Tigers were retired but AmazonV made them come back in very limited amount.
just went all out on my first and final Origin Tea order (RIP)
Got the Alishan, light roast Lishan, dark roast shui xian, a 1999 puer, and a 2003 liu an. this should last me a while until my friend goes to taiwan and visits some farms. he let me sample an alishan which was great, and he also gave me an excellent aged oolong, so I cant wait to see what he brings back.
Upton is in the red zone for dangerous now that I receive their catalog (I really like looking through it…). At least I introduce a tea-loving friend to their African teas.
Hibiscus Flowers 125g
Traditional Masala Chai sample
Golden Kenya GFBOP/TGFOP (2) sample
Livingstonia Estate Tanzania GFOP sample
Kaimosi Estate GFBOP1 sample
88th Night Shincha sample
Formosa Oolong Choiciest sample
Shan Tuyet Snow Green sample
So Dexter was kind enough to let me know that Adagio now has reasonable shipping to Canada. As in, starting at $7, instead of starting at $28. FINALLY.
So I grabbed 3 oz Loki, Thor and Kaylee! :D
Yet another Mandala order:
Black Beauty (!)
Flowering Black Tea Cones
GABA Black
Dian Hong Black Tea of Fengqing
Black tea happiness :)
Because reward points are fun, I ordered some black and oolong samples from Teavivre. They keep having things I want to try.
I ordered from Adagio today.
I have been saving my reward points for a long time. I had $41 credit. :)
Here's my order:
3 storage tins 4oz – sky x2
3 storage tins 8oz – sky x1
pu erh spice 3oz
vanilla oolong sample
almond oolong 2oz
gunpowder 4oz
decaf earl grey sample
amber sugar crystals sample
lapsang souchong sample
5% off coupon
foxtrot sample
pu erh chorange sample
Total: $66 – $41 credit – *$25 actual*. :)
Not bad at all, I'd say. :)
There is a little (?) company that I don't really know much about that the wonderful ifjuly introduced me to. What I do know is that I LOVE their spicy pear tea. So craving pear tea tonight I placed an order with Joy's Teaspoon. I placed the order about 7:30PM (my time) and got the usual auto emails – order confirmation, paypal receipt of payment. What I didn't expect was the email that I got an hour and 20 minutes later stating that order had SHIPPED. I understand that my package isn't "in the mail", but I'm sure it's packaged and in the outgoing mail slot. That is incredibly quick!!! Like to pay compliments when they are due. Good Job!!!
I ordered:
Almond Cookie – Tea Packaging : 2.5 oz. Bag
Jack Frost – Tea Packaging : 2.0 oz. Bag
Spicy Pear – Tea Packaging : 4.0 oz. Bag
Enchanted Forest – Tea Packaging : 2.0 oz. Bag
