As an American, and specifically a Georgian, value is not placed on education when students such as myself are being overwhelming effected by the gross budget cuts to all GA universities and college. The news glosses over the seriousness of the situation, because the effects will be state-wide, impacting every student, professor, faculty, and staff member, but more importantly the hardships will fall on the families. This is cause for more concern than attention is being paid.
As illustrated in the "Summary of Reductions" document-found on the University System of Georgia website- the cuts listed by universities/colleges will be executed by the presidents of each institution when the Board of Regents receives the final word from the General Assembly for FY 2011, according to the Governor's budget.
For my university, the summary states:
In total the actions described below will eliminate a total of 313.5 positions at UWG:Â
40 Fullâ€time Faculty positions, of which up to 17 are likely to be Tenured Faculty positions, assuming the declaration of financial exigency and the relevant internal processesÂ
42 Partâ€time Faculty PositionsÂ
59.5 Staff positionsÂ
171 Student/Graduate Assistant positionsÂ
(For my college)
College of Arts & SciencesÂ
Eliminate 2 Academic Departments totaling 10 FT faculty positionsÂ
Do not fill 3 FT faculty positions due to retirementsÂ
Eliminate 35 Graduate Research AssistantsÂ
Reduce 42 PT Faculty PositionsÂ
Reduce 26 Student Assistant positionsÂ
(the impact on students and faculty)
•Eliminates 2 academic departments and 5 academic majors, thus reducing program options for students.Â
•Reduces options in the core curriculum as well as support courses for other majors.Â
• Loss of students who are attracted to UWG for those majors.Â
• Loss of particular areas of academic expertise.Â
• Reduction in number of courses offered.Â
• Increased class sizes for remaining faculty.Â
• Reduction in research productivity of faculty and studentsÂ
• Reduces ability to recruit and retain graduate students.Â
• Reduces student employment opportunities on campus.Â
•Increases cost of attending graduate school, which will negatively impact enrollment.Â
• Reduces number of courses taught.Â
• Increases time to graduation for students.Â
• Reduces flexibility of departments to meet changing enrollment.Â
•Reduces opportunities for community members with particular credentials andÂ
expertise to teach, which reduces opportunities for students to have exposure toÂ
practitioners in their fields.Â
• Reduces student employment opportunities on campus.Â
• Reduces ability to recruit and retain students.Â
•Reduces students' ability to graduate on time because of the need to find employment elsewhere that may not be as accommodating to class schedules.Â
•Increases the costs of running offices and other functions on campus if student laborÂ
has to be replaced by more expensive staff.Â
• Loss of faculty and student jobs.Â
The three "Budget Scenario Documents" consisting of "Chancellor's Letter, Executive Summary," and "Summary of Reduction" are located at usg.edu/fiscal_affairs/
After revision, it is evident that university priorities are not in the interest of providing quality eduction for students. How so? When tenured faculty are being cut by the masses, and little reduction and/or fiscal revision is being made in areas such as IT, food services, transportation, athletics, etc. the cuts are being made with the interest of the institution, not its members.
If "value" were really the emphasis, than proper measures would have been taken to preserve all faculty members to ensure the students were receiving quality instruction by those whom are qualified; NOT making sure athletics (for unproductive teams), food (often wasted), tech support (which is unreliable causing more problems than service-most students & faculty rely on personal accounts for efficiency) were taking priority.
Using Georgia as an indicator of the "value" of education Americans have, I'd say is a poor example, which reflects to world audiences that our value is not in line with our priorities. Perhaps we should look to other nations as examples in education.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by youtubebbqer Best BBQ Ever I bought the Saber SS670 grill a year ago and I have not been disappointed. It is amazing!!! I have no had 1 flare up and I cook all my steaks on hi. It is amazing the multiple cooking surfaces. I cook my steaks on one side at 700 degrees and my asparagus on the other side at 250 degrees. This is great for large parties. I have had as many as 24 burgers on at a time. I can not say enough about this grill. Family member has a SS Weber and he has grill envy. Great on propane as well. I think I used 4 tanks last year and I BBQ 5-6 nights a week. March 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheeko Quality purchase We absolutely love this grill. Everything we have grilled on this has turned out amazing from roasts to pizza. Sturdy construction, relatively easy assembly, quality workmanship. Recommend this grill highly. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErikE Top notch bbq Excellent quality. I installed the house gas conversion kit immediately upon receiving the bbq, and it worked beautifully. It's great to have bbq flavor without scorching the meat. The design of the grill is unique in this regard, and much appreciated. The grill lights are extremely helpful. It would have been even better to have used LED lights (unless they couldn't handle the temperature) because then the lights could be powered by battery, rather than having to run an electrical line. January 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grillwife Saber Grill A Pleasure to Work With I know it sounds like a reality show nightmare, but my husband and I successfully completed the assembly of our new Saber Grill and from delivery to first firing it up, it could not have gone any better. The delivery men placed the grill where I instructed, unpacked for inspection and took away any debris that I wished. The instruction illustrations were clear, the parts and packaging excellent. It's definitely a 2-person job because of lifting the main unit on the base. We had it assembled in under an hour and it fired up on the first try! We've used it this season about 10 times and love the grate configuration since there's been virtually no flare ups. Haven't yet tried the side burners, but it helps as an additional side shelf because of its cover. So far, an excellent decision to make this choice. July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelingMan Assembled Saber 4-burner grill with side burners Couldn't be happier with the quality of this full stainless steel grill. Delivery company called and scheduled a delivery window that was consistent with my schedule. Grill was delivered and setup on my deck in the back of the house. Quality is unparalleled. Grill is easy to use. More than sufficient storage under the grill for various miscellaneous items. Highly recommended! July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AustinOwn Nice Grill! I wasn't too sure if the infrared technology was worth the cost. The construction and materials are top quality. I did have concerns about being able to get the charring and browning with no direct flame. I'm very pleased. This grill gets HOT. My initial fears did bear out a bit in that browning the pork chops and steaks is a bit of a struggle, but the flavor and the juiciness of the steaks is excellent. On high, it only take 4 minutes on each side of a 1 1/2in cut steaks to cook to a good medium temp. This allows for some good browning to get the coloration I want. I still haven't been abel to get a good char without overcooking, but I think with practice it will happen. The shipping company worked with me to do a Saturday delivery. June 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MMiller Saber 4 burner Grill with Dual Side Burners Love this grill! It is well mad and very attractive. Foods cook perfectly and are juicy and not overcooked. Grill burns off foods easily and is easily maintained. June 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by stens Excellent grill My 12 year old grill finally succumbed to rust...except for the parts made of 304 stainless steel, which remained pristine. Pity. After extensive shopping, I was convinced that 304 stainless grills were beyond my price range, and I prepared to settle for less. Then, I happened on reviews of the Saber grills, specifically this model, the SS500. The reviews were good, and the grill offered everything I wanted for what I regarded as a reasonable price. Arrival was prompt, actually better than prompt, as Frontgate's promised 4 week wait turned out to be 1 week. Assembly was exactly as shown in the video available here at Frontgate, and was easily performed by my son and I. Heating is prompt, and, as promised, I have noted no flare-ups. Steaks and burgers are cooked to perfection and remain very juicy, much more so than with other grills I have used. The modular infrared units do seem to keep the heat regulated very well within the different cooking zones. After the first steak cooked on this grill, I didn't miss the old grill at all. Construction of the grill box and lid are very sturdy, and the frame is solid. Reviews had noted that the cart side and rear panels are thinner, painted steel. This seems to have been an area where money was saved. It wasn't worth going to a higher end grill for me, but your mileage may vary, and I feel this is worth noting in my review. I am not concerned with the panels, as they are protected under the side shelves, and they look fine to my eye. I think the overall construction is excellent, with much thought given to customer assembly. The solid 304 stainless construction of the burners and emitters are great. The grill is also great looking. The built-in lights are a nice touch. I have been extremely happy with this grill so far. February 24, 2013

Skip to comments.Conspiracy?Chris Kyle The Third High Profile Firearms Business Owner Killed in Past Month, Along
Posted on 02/03/2013 8:03:40 PM PST by Nachum
While most of the SEALs have died in military combat or unexplained helicopter accidents over the past four years .the recent death of Chris Kyle and other high profile 2nd amendment advocates have raised some questions since the war on our 2nd Amendment right began following the Newtown tragedy in December 2012.
It is so sad and tragic we lost such a great American hero and advocate for our Constitution and country.
It was reported today they found the bodies of Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield three hours after they were shot yesterday, by 25 year old Eddie Ray Routh.
Why did it take so long before someone found them?? One report said they were shot in Kyles truck shortly after they arrived at 3:15pm on Saturday at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort.
Strangely, according to The Star Telegram, witnesses told sheriffs investigators that the gunman opened fire on the two men around 3:30 p.m., then fled in a pickup truck belonging to one of the victims. The sheriffs department didnt get a call until around 6 p.m.
After shooting both Kyle and his friend Littlefield, Routh then took off in Kyles truck and drove back to his house, where he was apprehended around 9pm after a short pursuit.
According to the Star-Telegram, The 25-year-old suspect was apprehended about five hours later in Lancaster, southeast of Dallas, more than 70 miles from the scene, Bryant said.
The suspect, identified as Eddie Ray Routh, 25, was pursued to a house in Lancaster by officers, including a local SWAT team. Routh again try to flee in a vehicle but was stopped about 9 p.m. after spikes were laid across a road, Bryant said.

Obama Dead Pool Update
Thanks for keeping up with this.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Third time is enemy action, Mr. Bond." — Auric Goldfinger
Frankly, I'm surprised that certain folks haven't retaliated for, what seems to me to be, these targeted killings of foes of the administration.
It is really crazy how many people are logging in to this one page (Dead Pool file)
Sunlight is good.
So, how/who is running Routh?
seems as if the one is hazardous for my health
Open season on American soil by muzzies and leftists?
If that is the case ~ they need to rethink it.
It certainly seems to be the case. Thank you Mr.Obama for YOUR muslim outreach.
I don't know if this event is tied into "High Profile Firearms Business Owners", but something sure doesn't smell right about this story.
I can't believe the FPSRussia guy is dead. Some of these are suspicious.
it's getting a little brazen.
You can typically see where they are getting the link from, no? If you have statcounter on it, you can.
Absolutely. It is very interesting indeed.
So sad and so suspicious.
We need to come up with some kind of pin for all gun owners to wear. And when we see each other give a "Guns Up" (see Texas Tech) salute.
I think it stinks to high Heaven
I'd recommend removing the list compiled by 'myrightwingdad'. Some of the people on it never existed, such as Sarah Berkley. The real deaths linked to Obama are well documented.
How seemingly prominent were all of these people to Freepers? Would these have been "household names" to people like us?
If it was just him, I'd suspect nothing more than shady dealings gone wrong.
Except that Hollister is dead too. And Kyle. And a couple other names I'm forgetting. And Ayoob suffered (and, thankfully, survived) a freak helicopter crash.
All in a few weeks.
All which, it seems, someone looking for "high profile" names would latch on to.
Are you kidding me? I had not heard about him.
Noveske, not Hollister. Sorry. I'm tired.
Hardcore (and serious wannabe) shooters, yes.
Remaining big name 2nd Amend. guys and gals and manufacturers need to step up awareness.
I hadn't heard that about Ayoob, but I've wondered about the safety record of those tiny helicopters used for hog hunts.
Not the bad Russian accent guy, but rather his associate who worked behind the scenes. Yes, some of this is certainly suspicious.
Funny, I was just thinking of doing that today. It is a good idea.
that's because the stories stink. doesn't pass the smell test.
Hello. Please add me to your ping list. TIA.
According to an article I read elsewhere, Routh was a troubled veteran of the Iraq war who Kyle's neighbor, the other victim, brought to Kyle for possible help. They took Routh to a shooting range, where some time later the two bodies were found. This story sounds different from the one here.
I wonder if the murderer could have been a Muslim convert with ties to jihadists, and the killing was an act of revenge?

Yes. Our local news (KXAS-NBC5) reported that the truck the shooter drove away belonged to Kyle (thus the skull decal on the rear window), according to witnesses who saw him leaving the shooting range. ....They also reported that the Lodge/resort is a top five favored place for weddings. The property is around 16,000 acres, so probably has many activities, including hunting.
What say you?
The Chicago way of doing business.
"'Ave Good Day"
I was hoping some one was on to this.. not that is complete..
How could it be.?.. Funny you never hear of the "MAfia" anymore..
Could be the "mafia" IS a big part of the federal, most State and many local giverments..
Because what they protect us from...... is themselves..
The way "MAfias" always do.. and have done for centuries..
Are all these rogue shooters being pushed in the direction a leftist govt needs them to be via internet contact? These guys are all mentally ill, and could easily be hyped to a point of no return.
We'll never know...the computers disappear into the bowls of the Fed enforcement agencies
But who/why how could multiple deaths be related ?
Pushed ? Weren't all those suspicions about mind control, etc., determined to be untrue ?
Actually, I think that (putting on my tin foil hat) that there are more sophisticated ways of getting innocents to murder on behalf of government agencies. Hypnotism, drugs, and outright assassination seems to be employed.
There is a movie called "Telefon" with Charles Bronson a number of years back. Moles are activated by a telephone message to commit mass murder. Unfortunately, it may not be far from the truth. I also have seen videos of the weapon that induces heart attacks in its victims. You can see the testimony before Congress with the weapon itself on Youtube.
I heard they were shot in the back.
Things are starting to get just a little TOO weird. Hadn't heard about Noveske.
The suspect whom they have arrested has an uneven, short beard that looks newly grown. I did notice that, and it can be a sign of religious affiliations. (Not real evidence, but a sign.) He also looked very thin, and with a fixed look in the eyes.
The reality is that "mental illness" means demonic posssesion.
Here's a tinfoil hat idea...with all these drugs out there like Prozac, Ritalin, etc.; when and ow were they developed. There were congressional hearings on the MK Ultra program back in 1977. For those not familiar with the term, google it, but do we really think the government just shuts down programs.

Is Ethanol the fuel of the future?
July 8, 2006
The ethanol plant coming to Clovis will use 45 to 50 million bushels of corn a year, officials said (CNJ photo: Andy DeLisle)
A 105 million-gallon per year ethanol plant will be online in Clovis by 2007. Construction will begin this October.
The plant is a joint venture of ConAgra Trade Group and Carlyle/Riverstone Renewable Energy.
It will be located at ConAgra's Peavey grain elevator property on U.S. 60/84.
This is ConAgra's first ethanol venture, according to ConAgra officials.
Here is a snapshot into the plant and America's growing ethanol industry:
Water demands met
The Clovis ethanol plant will consume approximately 315 million gallons of water per year, according to plant officials.
Per day, the dry-mill plant will use approximately 880,000 gallons, officials said.
In arid eastern New Mexico, where groundwater supplies are dwindling, water is a dire concern for not only residents, but for potential business investors.
The worries ConAgra had about meeting its water needs in the region have been appeased, according to ConAgra Executive Vice President for Business Strategies Martin Higgins. Wastewater from the city of Clovis could keep the processing and cooling equipment at the plant humming, according to Chase Gentry, executive director of the Clovis Industrial Development Corp.
The wastewater option is one of several, Gentry said. A definite water source for the plant should be pinned down in about 30 days, Higgins said.
But even if the plant decided to use fresh water, it would consume less of it than the agricultural industry, Gentry said.
Under state mandates, a commercial operation is allowed to use 1.29-acre-feet of water per year, whereas an agricultural operation is allowed to use 3-acre-feet per year, Gentry said.
"Whenever you transfer water rights from agricultural to commercial use, you cut down on consumptive use of that water by two thirds," Gentry said.
Corn shipments will triple ConAgra currently receives 15 to 20 million bushels of corn per year from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and other places in the Midwest, according to ConAgra Executive Vice President for Business Strategies Martin Higgins.
The company sells corn meal to local ranchers.
With its new ethanol plant, the amount of corn ConAgra ships to Clovis will triple, according to Higgins. Once the plant goes online next year, 45 to 50 million bushels of corn a year will be shipped to the plant via BNSF Railway.
The ethanol produced at the plant will be sold in California, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, Higgins said.
Economics of ethanol The ethanol boom has driven the price of corn up 40 to 45 cents per bushel in the past year, according to David Gibson, executive director of the Corn Producers Association of Texas.
For corn growers, the demand is a blessing. But ranchers are leery.
If prices continue to rise, "That could ruin us," said Fort Sumner rancher Bill Wertheim, who owns about 1,500 head of cattle.
Depending on the season, 20 to 40 percent of his cattle's food supply is corn meal, he said. His profits stand to drop substantially with the boom, he said.
Gibson contends corn growers in America can satisfy the agriculture and ethanol industry.
Ethanol as an alternative fuel, he says, has a bright future.
"With the current energy demands, not only in the U.S., but in the world — with the growth of countries like China — the market for ethanol will only grow," he said.
Ethanol process include fermentation
The Clovis ethanol plant will use corn to create ethanol, a form of alcohol that can be used as a power source.
Mixed with 15 percent gasoline, ethanol can power vehicles, and has been lauded as an alternative fuel for America's vehicles.
Corn, however, is not the only thing that contains ethanol. It can also be squeezed from grapes, soybeans, wheat and potatoes.
"Anything which contains sugar, you can make ethanol from," said Eastern New Mexico microbiologist Manuel Varela, who speaks fondly of ethanol.
He uses it to purifies strands of DNA in his laboratory, following in the vein of famous scientist, Louis Pasteur, who also studied ethanol his petridishes.
Varela explained the process of creating ethanol from plants, fruits, and vegetables:
• The source must be crushed. • It must be mixed with hot water, which allows the enzymes to degrade the starch in the plant to sugar. • It is added to a mixing tank, a process called mashing. • Once it is mashed, it must be mixed with hops and brewed. • It must be fermented, pasteurized and bottled. During fermentation, microbes create ethanol.
Fast facts
Since 1980, government subsidies for ethanol have totaled more than $10 billion.

A gallon of ethanol costs $2.24 to produce compared to 63 cents per gallon of gasoline. — http://www.pureenergysystems.com

Topic: Generating a blank CSV
I'm writing an application that will collect data from conference delegates at a public laptop. I have all the details stored in a mysql database and at the end of each day I want to be able to export the data to a CSV file. Here is the export function I have written in the applications only controller (PartnersController):
def export
@partner = Partner.all
csv_string = CSV.generate do |csv|
columns = ["title", "first_name", "laste_name"]
csv << columns
@partner.each do |partner|
csv << [partner.title, partner.first_name, partner.last_name ]
filename = "ipartner-#{Time.now.to_date.to_s}.csv"
send_data(csv_string, :type => 'text/csv; charset=utf-8; header=present', :filename => filename)
The above just generates a blank CSV file. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Healthcare Ratings: How They Stack Up.
Over the years, most people have relied on recommendations from friends and family when choosing a doctor or hospitals. With the rise of the Internet, easily and often accessed by health consumers, ratings and rankings boomed. To be an informed consumer, it's good to understand what information each rating uses and how it is compiled. Here's a brief overview.
Organizations compile their ratings with different information, from different sources with different formulas to make the data consumer-friendly. Here are the most common ways in which ratings are generated:
Patient Surveys. Former patients are asked to fill out a questionnaire about their experience.
Reputation. How would others in health care rate your hospital?
Self-Response Questionnaire. Hospitals are asked to fill out a questionnaire about their practices and results.
Medicare Data. Most health care records are private. Because the federal government pays for Medicare coverage, this information (without specific patient identification) is available to the public. Although, the data by itself may overwhelm a consumer, companies employing statisticians, mathematicians and computer experts to process the information for consumer consumption.
For the most part, hospital "quality" ratings are built on several criteria. Here are some of the most common measurements:
Patient Satisfaction. Were you pleased with your care? Did the doctor answer your questions? Was it quiet in the hospital? Did nurses respond to your requests for assistance? Was it clean?
Medical/Clinical Outcomes.In general, these measures try to answer determine if the treatments were appropriate and effective. Three general types of information are reviewed:
Safety.Do patients receive the correct medication? How often do patients trip and fall?
Length of Stay. How long were patients with a specific health condition in the hospital? Organizations using this measurement generally believe that shorter length of stay (LOS) equates with quality care, although some critics suggest that simply equating length of stay with surgical safety is oversimplifying the case.
Complications/Re-admissions. If a patient has a surgical complication or gets an infection or pneumonia while in the hospital can be used as a measure of quality. If patient is released, then readmitted a short time late for problems related to the original hospitalization, quality ratings can also be affected.
To help you better decide which hospital ratings are most meaningful for you and your family, here are some of the most common:
Comparing the Comparers
To better understand what these rating organizations are telling you and how they are reaching that decision, here's an overview of some of the most commonly mentioned ones.
Healthgrades is a private company that offers its ratings to the public on its web site Healthgrades.com. Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical outcomes and incorporates information on patients who die in the hospitals and in-hospital complications. For data, it uses 40 million Medicare hospital discharges from the most recent 3-year period. It examines 31 common procedures and conditions, adjusting its data for each patient's age, gender and medical condition.
Hospital Compare is a service of the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that uses 1) data from the 4,500 hospitals participating in Medicare (health insurance for older adults) and Medicaid (health coverage for low-income families and disabled individuals) and 2) a national survey of patient experience.
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers & Systems (HCAHPS), like Hospital Compare, is a government program.Hospitals are required to collect and submit survey information from patients. Independent survey companies also survey a selected population.
Leapfrog is an employer-based coalition that seeks to measure safety by having hospitals fill out and submit a questionnaire. Not every hospital chooses to fill out the questionnaire.
US News & World Report magazine rankings historically have been "reputational." One study found that the largest health systems tended to rate better. One study found that high-cost hospitals also tended to do better in this ranking.
Consumer Reports' system is a hybrid, gathering public information, surveys, and state data. In an attempt to simplify, Consumers Reports uses its familiar ratings symbols. It has been criticized for 1) using length of stay for a surgical safety measure, something no other ratings organization does and 2) failing to make public is its methodology for calculating the final rating.
So, What Can I Do?
About a third of all US hospitals annually receive an honor from one of the rating organizations. So, the best advice for consumers would be to:
Look for hospitals that receive positive rankings from more than one of the groups or
Look for a healthcare system that receives multiple awards from one of ratings organizations.
What about McLeod?
"McLeod Health has been honored nationally for its quality programs by a variety of national organizations," says VP for Quality Donna Isgett. "We were the first health system in South Carolina to receive the American Hospital Association/McKesson Quest for Quality Award.
"This year, we were humbled that Healthgrades selected McLeod Regional Medical Center for more quality honors than all but one other hospital in SC."

Acupuncture good in general practice
Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22789787
Patient experience of acupuncture at a GP surgery was evaluated over 18 months. Patients were referred for six acupuncture treatments of 45min by 10 practising GPs. Measure Your Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP), was completed before the first treatment and at the start of the final consultation. A patient experience survey was completed immediately after the patient's last appointment. RESULTS: A statistically and clinically significant improvement in the mean MYMOP profile score (1.6 SD 1.3, p<0.0000) (n=47); reduction in medication usage; a reduction in pain and stress and improved quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: Acupuncture provision was beneficial to patients with predominately chronic conditions. Further studies are needed to assess the cost effectiveness and long term benefit of acupuncture in the NHS.

Unless you personally know the seller, when you buy used you're just buying someone else's problem.FMB, this is the one line in this thread so far that I disagree with. I bought a used car about four years ago, and it has worked out great for me. Haven't had a single thing wrong with the car (aside from normal maintenance items), and paid a lot less than I would have for a comparable new car. YMMV, and apparently does. (I will say that I think your advice is more likely to be correct if buying a car with a lot of miles on it, because you know that things are going to go wrong at that point. In my case, the car I bought had 20K miles, so it was still pretty fresh.)Anyway, lot of good advice in this thread. Bottom line is information. Go in knowing what car you want, what options you want, the fair market price for a car with those options, etc. If you don't know those items, you're not ready to buy. If you have a trade-in, know what the fair value is. If you are going to need to finance the purchase, know what current interest rates are. (I'd go so far as to get pre-approved from a lender, so that you have a financing option in your pocket when you walk into the dealership.) And don't let the dealer confuse all of those items together (as they will try to do). Good luck ...

Who knows you might be able to use that angle and talk them into a used car price on a demo model. Unlikely but worth a shot I guess.

Summary Tables of No-Objection Letters Issued by FSIS for Non-O157 STEC Test Methods
These tables list the non-O157 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (non-O157 STEC) test methods that FSIS reviewed and has issued no-objection letters (NOLs). These NOLs were issued in an effort to increase public and industry awareness of available new technologies associated with the implementation of FSIS non-O157 STEC policy in 2012, at a time when reagents and reference strains that were critically necessary to validate STEC test methods were in short supply. The NOLs provide establishments with supporting documentation regarding the reliability of verification testing results.
Since that time, STEC test reagents and reference strains are now readily available and there are STEC detection methods commercially available that have been validated and certified through independent certification entities such as AOAC, AFNOR, MicroVal, or NordVal.
As a result of these positive developments, FSIS has discontinued its STEC test method review and NOL issuance process. However, the Agency encourages the test kit manufacturers to seek certification for STEC method validations through independent certification entities such as AOAC, AFNOR, MicroVal, or NordVal.
FSIS will continue to make available a list of test kits that have been validated for the detection of relevant foodborne pathogens on its website: Foodborne Pathogen Test Kits Validated by Independent Organizations. STEC detection methods that received NOLs and attain certification through independent certification entities will be included in the Foodborne Pathogen Test Kits Validated by Independent Organizations at the next quarterly update.

TRENTON, N.J.—The website and on-line tour for the Louis I. Kahn Trenton Bath House www.kahntrentonbathhouse.org has been recognized by the international American Association of Museum's Muse Awards recently in Los Angeles.
Mercer County has long recognized the vast significance of the Bath House, and has been instrumental in the preservation of the property and buildings comprised.
The website received an Honorable Mention in the "Online Presence" category, which was one of this year's most competitive categories, having more than 40 entries. The website, titled The Bath House: Trenton Jewish Community Center designed by Louis Kahn, was assembled by the Mercer County Division of Culture and Heritage and Ducat Media LLC, and was unveiled at a reception in July, 2009 at the Bath House. In its critique, judges called it "a simple well-designed website that proves that size does not matter. This site is executed beautifully and shines next to its much larger counterparts. It does an excellent job of incorporating technology, without allowing it to overwhelm the content. Elegant and engaging."
The annual Muse awards given by the American Association of Museums' Media & Technology committee are "…presented to institutions or independent producers which use digital media to enhance the museum experience and engage new audiences… the MUSE awards celebrate scholarship, innovation, creativity and inclusivity."
The website was created as an educational and informational tool for people searching the internet for information on the historic Bath Houses. In November 2007, as part of the historic preservation planning for the Ewing Township senior and community center in Ewing, a former Jewish Community Center designed by American Modernist architect, Louis Kahn, the Mercer County Planning Division recognized the need to create a tool that could be used to educate the general public about why the site should be preserved. That tool became www.kahntrentonbathhouse.org for which the County Planning Division partnered with the County's Division of Culture and Heritage to solicit funding and proposals for the project. The web site traces the place of the Bath House in the oeuvre of Louis Kahn, presents Kahn's original plans for the site and provides information on the County's restoration plans. The web site includes a pod cast tour of the location with a map, and interpretative material for the many especially international visitors who come to see the Bath House. The Bath House and Day Camp are currently being restored by Mercer County and Ewing Township, with financial assistance from the New Jersey Historic Trust. Construction will be complete in fall 2010. The website design was funded by Mercer County; National Trust for Historic Preservation /Jordan Preservation Excellence Fund; New Jersey Council for the Humanities; and the New Jersey Historical Commission.
The Louis I. Kahn Bath House website shared the spotlight with other impressive sites. Other winners were:
*Gold went to We Choose the Moon, a website on the 1969 Apollo space mission done with support from NASA and the federal government for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum. http://wechoosethemoon.org/
*Silver went to Lincoln Memorial Interactive website created for the National Mall and Memorial Park, the federal group that maintains our national monuments www.nps.gov/featurecontent/ncr/linc/interactive/deploy/index.htm#/introduction
*Bronze went to the Redesign of MoMA.org by The Museum of Modern Art, NYC. www.moma.org/

Topic: how to collapse all with a toggle
Hey all,
I have a loop that kind of looks like this:
<% for item in @items %>
<span id='showbox_<% item_id%>' style="display:none" ><% item.id %>
<%= link_to_remote 'show other ids', :url=>{:action=>showall} %>

What I want to do is when "show other ids" is clicked, the content of each span is showed (eg. with a toggle) except for the span that goes with the link that's been clicked.
any idea how to do this?
Thanx in advance
Update: what would be the link_to_function equivalent to document.getElementsByClassName('myClass').each(Effect.toggle) ? I think that would solve part of my problem.

- A Two-Dimensional Model of the Pressing Section of a Paper Machine Including Dynamic Capillary Effects (2012)
- The paper production is a problem with significant importance for the society and it is a challenging topic for scientific investigations. This study is concerned with the simulations of the pressing section of a paper machine. A two-dimensional model is developed to account for the water flow within the pressing zone. Richards' type equation is used to describe the flow in the unsaturated zone. The dynamic capillary pressure–saturation relation proposed by Hassanizadeh and co-workers (Hassanizadeh et al., 2002; Hassanizadeh, Gray, 1990, 1993a) is adopted for the paper production process. The mathematical model accounts for the co-existence of saturated and unsaturated zones in a multilayer computational domain. The discretization is performed by the MPFA-O method. The numerical experiments are carried out for parameters which are typical for the production process. The static and dynamic capillary pressure–saturation relations are tested to evaluate the influence of the dynamic capillary effect.
- Multiscale Finite Element Coarse Spaces for the Analysis of Linear Elastic Composites (2012)
- In this work we extend the multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) as formulated by Hou and Wu in [14] to the PDE system of linear elasticity. The application, motivated from the multiscale analysis of highly heterogeneous composite materials, is twofold. Resolving the heterogeneities on the finest scale, we utilize the linear MsFEM basis for the construction of robust coarse spaces in the context of two-level overlapping Domain Decomposition preconditioners. We motivate and explain the construction and present numerical results validating the approach. Under the assumption that the material jumps are isolated, that is they occur only in the interior of the coarse grid elements, our experiments show uniform convergence rates independent of the contrast in the Young's modulus within the heterogeneous material. Elsewise, if no restrictions on the position of the high coefficient inclusions are imposed, robustness can not be guaranteed any more. These results justify expectations to obtain coefficient-explicit condition number bounds for the PDE system of linear elasticity similar to existing ones for scalar elliptic PDEs as given in the work of Graham, Lechner and Scheichl [12]. Furthermore, we numerically observe the properties of the MsFEM coarse space for linear elasticity in an upscaling framework. Therefore, we present experimental results showing the approximation errors of the multiscale coarse space w.r.t. the fine-scale solution.
- A direction splitting approach for incompressible Brinkmann flow (2012)
- The direction splitting approach proposed earlier in [6], aiming at the efficient solution of Navier-Stokes equations, is extended and adopted here to solve the Navier-Stokes-Brinkman equations describing incompressible flows in plain and in porous media. The resulting pressure equation is a perturbation of the incompressibility constrained using a direction-wise factorized operator as proposed in [6]. We prove that this approach is unconditionally stable for the unsteady Navier-Stokes-Brinkman problem. We also provide numerical illustrations of the method's accuracy and efficiency.
- Multi-level Monte Carlo methods using ensemble level mixed MsFEM for two-phase flow and transport simulations (2012)
- In this paper, we propose multi-level Monte Carlo(MLMC) methods that use ensemble level mixed multiscale methods in the simulations of multi-phase flow and transport. The main idea of ensemble level multiscale methods is to construct local multiscale basis functions that can be used for any member of the ensemble. We consider two types of ensemble level mixed multiscale finite element methods, (1) the no-local-solve-online ensemble level method (NLSO) and (2) the local-solve-online ensemble level method (LSO). Both mixed multiscale methods use a number of snapshots of the permeability media to generate a multiscale basis. As a result, in the offline stage, we construct multiple basis functions for each coarse region where basis functions correspond to different realizations. In the no-local-solve-online ensemble level method one uses the whole set of pre-computed basis functions to approximate the solution for an arbitrary realization. In the local-solve-online ensemble level method one uses the pre-computed functions to construct a multiscale basis for a particular realization. With this basis the solution corresponding to this particular realization is approximated in LSO mixed MsFEM. In both approaches the accuracy of the method is related to the number of snapshots computed based on different realizations that one uses to pre-compute a multiscale basis. We note that LSO approaches share similarities with reduced basis methods [11, 21, 22]. In multi-level Monte Carlo methods ([14, 13]), more accurate (and expensive) forward simulations are run with fewer samples while less accurate(and inexpensive) forward simulations are run with a larger number of samples. Selecting the number of expensive and inexpensive simulations carefully, one can show that MLMC methods can provide better accuracy at the same cost as MC methods. In our simulations, our goal is twofold. First, we would like to compare NLSO and LSO mixed MsFEMs. In particular, we show that NLSO mixed MsFEM is more accurate compared to LSO mixed MsFEM. Further, we use both approaches in the context of MLMC to speed-up MC calculations. We present basic aspects of the algorithm and numerical results for coupled flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media.
- An overview on the usage of some model reduction approaches for simulations of Li-ion transport in batteries (2012)
- In this work, some model reduction approaches for performing simulations with a pseudo-2D model of Li-ion battery are presented. A full pseudo-2D model of processes in Li-ion batteries is presented following [3], and three methods to reduce the order of the full model are considered. These are: i) directly reduce the model order using proper orthogonal decomposition, ii) using fractional time step discretization in order to solve the equations in decoupled way, and iii) reformulation approaches for the diffusion in the solid phase. Combinations of above methods are also considered. Results from numerical simulations are presented, and the efficiency and the accuracy of the model reduction approaches are discussed.
- On Numerical Simulation of Flow Through Oil Filters (2003)
- This paper concerns numerical simulation of flow through oil filters. Oil filters consist of filter housing (filter box), and a porous filtering medium, which completely separates the inlet from the outlet. We discuss mathematical models, describing coupled flows in the pure liquid subregions and in the porous filter media, as well as interface conditions between them. Further, we reformulate the problem in fictitious regions method manner, and discuss peculiarities of the numerical algorithm in solving the coupled system. Next, we show numerical results, validating the model and the algorithm. Finally, we present results from simulation of 3-D oil flow through a real car filter.
- On a Multigrid Adaptive Refinement Solver for Saturated Non-Newtonian Flow in Porous Media (2003)
- On a Multigrid Adaptive Refinement Solver for Saturated Non-Newtonian Flow in Porous Media A multigrid adaptive refinement algorithm for non-Newtonian flow in porous media is presented. The saturated flow of a non-Newtonian fluid is described by the continuity equation and the generalized Darcy law. The resulting second order nonlinear elliptic equation is discretized by a finite volume method on a cell-centered grid. A nonlinear full-multigrid, full-approximation-storage algorithm is implemented. As a smoother, a single grid solver based on Picard linearization and Gauss-Seidel relaxation is used. Further, a local refinement multigrid algorithm on a composite grid is developed. A residual based error indicator is used in the adaptive refinement criterion. A special implementation approach is used, which allows us to perform unstructured local refinement in conjunction with the finite volume discretization. Several results from numerical experiments are presented in order to examine the performance of the solver.
- Multigrid – adaptive local refinement solver for incompressible flows (2003)
- A non-linear multigrid solver for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, exploiting finite volume discretization of the equations, is extended by adaptive local refinement. The multigrid is the outer iterative cycle, while the SIMPLE algorithm is used as a smoothing procedure. Error indicators are used to define the refinement subdomain. A special implementation approach is used, which allows to perform unstructured local refinement in conjunction with the finite volume discretization. The multigrid - adaptive local refinement algorithm is tested on 2D Poisson equation and further is applied to a lid-driven flows in a cavity (2D and 3D case), comparing the results with bench-mark data. The software design principles of the solver are also discussed.
- On the Performance of Certain Iterative Solvers for Coupled Systems Arising in Discretization of Non-Newtonian Flow Equations (2004)
- Iterative solution of large scale systems arising after discretization and linearization of the unsteady non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes equations is studied. cross WLF model is used to account for the non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid. Finite volume method is used to discretize the governing system of PDEs. Viscosity is treated explicitely (e.g., it is taken from the previous time step), while other terms are treated implicitly. Different preconditioners (block–diagonal, block–triangular, relaxed incomplete LU factorization, etc.) are used in conjunction with advanced iterative methods, namely, BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES. The action of the preconditioner in fact requires inverting different blocks. For this purpose, in addition to preconditioned BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES, we use also algebraic multigrid method (AMG). The performance of the iterative solvers is studied with respect to the number of unknowns, characteristic velocity in the basic flow, time step, deviation from Newtonian behavior, etc. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.
- On Modelling and Simulation of Different Regimes for Liquid Polymer Moulding (2004)
- In this paper we consider numerical algorithms for solving a system of nonlinear PDEs arising in modeling of liquid polymer injection. We investigate the particular case when a porous preform is located within the mould, so that the liquid polymer flows through a porous medium during the filling stage. The nonlinearity of the governing system of PDEs is due to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer, as well as due to the moving free boundary. The latter is related to the penetration front and a Stefan type problem is formulated to account for it. A finite-volume method is used to approximate the given differential problem. Results of numerical experiments are presented. We also solve an inverse problem and present algorithms for the determination of the absolute preform permeability coefficient in the case when the velocity of the penetration front is known from measurements. In both cases (direct and inverse problems) we emphasize on the specifics related to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer. For completeness, we discuss also the Newtonian case. Results of some experimental measurements are presented and discussed.

Colorado's Marriage Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
DENVER -- A judge in Colorado has struck down the state's gay marriage ban.
District Court Judge C. Scott Crabtree on Wednesday ruled the 2006 voter-approved ban violates the state and federal constitutions. He immediately put his ruling on hold pending an appeal.
Crabtree is the 16th judge to void a state's gay marriage ban since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that the federal government has to recognize gay marriages in the states.

Worms in cats are a common problem that every pet owner should be looking out for, as these internal parasites can quickly cause major issues for a feline and health problems for the people in the household. Routine fecal testing is recommended so your veterinarian can detect a parasite problem before your cat becomes sick. Fortunately, there are a number of monthly preventative medications your veterinarian can prescribe that can help your cat avoid internal parasites altogether.
Internal parasites are transferred to the cat in a variety of different ways, but most require an intermediary host, such as a flea, mosquito or even a bird. It's possible for the cat to also contract the parasites by ingesting the feces of a similarly infected animal.
There are four common types of worms known to infect cats - roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and heartworms. Each of these worms results in different clinical signs the cat may display and each requires different medication.
Of the four, the most dangerous type of parasite for a cat is the heartworm. Heartworms are transferred by mosquito bite and get their name due to the fact that they affect the heart. Obviously, this is quite dangerous for the cat and could result in sudden heart failure at just about any time. Heartworms in cats may also lead to vomiting, heavy breathing, coughing and weight loss in cats. Prevention is the only way to fully stop heartworms, so be sure to talk with your veterinarian about pet parasite protection before the cat becomes ill.
Roundworms have also been known to cause fatalities, especially in kittens. These parasites do not need a host to transfer into a feline, making them all the more dangerous. Clinical signs of these worms in cats include diarrhea and vomiting. Roundworms are often spotted because they give the cat a "pot-bellied" appearance.
Cat diarrhea is also a common clinical sign in felines infected with tapeworms. These parasites inhabit the digestive system and traces may be found in the cat's stool - they look like small white grains of rice. In some cases, a cat may also vomit up an adult tapeworm, in which case the animal should be taken to a vet immediately for treatment.
Finally, hookworms are another common pet parasites. Cats can be affected by hookworms by swallowing the immature worms (larvae) from the soil or these larvae can burrow directly through the cat's skin and migrate to the intestine where an infection occurs. Hookworm infection may result in the presence of digested blood in the stool, anemia, a poor hair coat and weight loss. Less commonly, a cat may experience skin irritation on the paws if the larvae have burrowed through their skin.

Fall is in Full Swing at Sunriver Resort
We took a 30 minute bike ride around Sunriver Resort yesterday to capture some of the deciduous trees doing their fall thing. The aspens, maples and river grasses should be a bright yellow, red and orange for another few weeks before the first snow flies over Central Oregon. Check out the gorgeous photos below.

Ziera Dimity Black Leather Women's Sandal
Features include:
very stylish and so comfortable, with great support, wear ti with everything and receive complements
I love the look of this shoe and the fact that it accommodates my 3/4 orthotics. Unfortunately it did not work for me -- I have bunions which push my forefoot over, and I found that in size 38 my little toes would hang off the side of the shoe. I tried size 39 but it was just too long.
In spite of this problem I still recommend the shoe. Ziera is a great brand and worth the price!
I love Ziera shoes, I have custom orthotics and usually I don't need to even wear these with the Ziera shoes. I can wear these for many hours-not quite sneakers but the best brand for me.
I love these shoes! From the first moment I put them on, they have felt like old friends. I only wish you carried more Ziera shoes, especially the Mona. Please let me know if you get them in. And please keep stocking Ziera.

Do Not Buy Apple Ahead of Earnings (With Video)
Apple (AAPL) could report the best holiday quarter in the history of retail, yet the stock could get hit on "disappointing" numbers. I can see the hysterical media headlines now.
I really hate to keep picking on The Wall Street Journal , however, when it comes to Apple coverage, they provide the best high-profile example of what's wrong.
I'll go on CNBC today (Tuesday in the 5 p.m. hour, eastern time) to discuss Apple ahead of earnings. I'm sure Melissa Lee and that strong "Fast Money" panel (it's almost surreal to think I'll share airtime with these people) will question my recent defense of AAPL. And that's all good.
As much as I take a near-term bullish stance, we need to have these conversations about Apple's long-term prospects. They're relevant; in fact, I started them when everybody else was bullish back in April 2011 .
The time has come, however, to moderate critical cynicism. When the WSJ posts headlines like this from Monday, Investors Struggle to Get Handle on Apple , somebody needs to step in.
It's not that the WSJ headline isn't correct; that's exactly what's happening. Insanely, nobody seems to know what to think about AAPL. That's why, if you're a long-term investor and not a nimble trader (like the people you watch on "Fast Money" everyday), you absolutely should not own AAPL at this juncture. (See the video at the top of this article).
As I explained on Monday, relatively "safer," less anxiety-provoking names easily outperformed AAPL over the last year .
That said, how should we evaluate Apple? How do we split our scrutiny between Apple vs. its unwritten future and Apple vs. its largely inferior competition ? That's the ultimate question here.
There's no right answer, but we've tipped the scales too close to the let's consider Apple within the context of the unrealistic expectations it -- and its lack of competition -- set for itself .
Simply stated, Apple deserves more breathing room. We give Jeff Bezos and Amazon.com (AMZN) serious benefit of the doubt. That's because investors see less uncertainty in Amazon as it sets itself up for the long term. Understood. I support the thesis. However, I do not buy the notion that Amazon is a 3,000-to-11 favorite -- using each stock's price-to-earnings ratio -- over Apple.
Now, let it be known, I don't treat valuation metrics like old school market guys. In fact, I no longer think valuation when I see a P/E. I think confidence. How much confidence do investors have in the company's ability to maintain its present and anticipated pace of growth for the foreseeable future? From there, I assess the company's strategic-competitive position to see if I can have the same level of confidence.

IR man arrested in fatal stabbing
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
WILLISTON, N.D. – An Iron River man was arrested after a fatal stabbing incident Sunday at an oil field camp in northwestern North Dakota.
Sgt. Detective Caleb Fry of the Williams County Sheriff's Office said that 31-year-old Ryan Anderson of Iron River is accused of stabbing 32-year-old Christopher King of Iron River.
The incident occurred at about 4 a.m. Sunday at the Capital Lodge mancamp located east of Ray, N.D.
According to Sgt. Fry, Anderson allegedly used a standard folding knife to stab King twice in the chest and twice in the stomach region. Alcohol was a factor in the incident, Sgt. Fry added.
Sgt. Fry said that Anderson drove King to the Tioga Medical Center, where King was pronounced dead and Anderson was apprehended.
Anderson is being held on a felony charge of murder. Bond will be set later this week.
Sgt. Fry said that investigation into the incident is ongoing, with other charges pending.
Anderson also has an open arrest warrant out of Iron County for failure to appear on an aggravated assault case.

Moneymaker's the name, poker's my game
The Columbus Dispatch - February 28, 2013 10:12 AM
The line of players anxious to lose their money to poker superstar Chris Moneymaker was a long one.
"We had a waiting list of 70 people to play at his table," said Matt Dodd, the boss of the 36-table poker room at Hollywood Casino Columbus.
Moneymaker is now the casino's poker ambassador, a job that apparently pays him to come to Columbus once a month for a whirlwind weekend of poker and to win a lot of money from local players.
He got here on Friday afternoon.
"I played until 4:30 in the morning, slept some, and then played another 12 hours," he said. " People want to take their shot against you, some want to say they won a hand against you or put a move on you."
"A move" is a bluff, as in raising the stakes when you don't have a winning hand, hoping the other players will believe you have better cards than they do – and fold like a scared rabbit.
"It's a game of chicken and who steps off the tracks first," Moneymaker said.
There are probably several more animal metaphors, but I'll call with a rabbit and a chicken.
I met Moneymaker on Wednesday at the casino, during a press conference in the poker room, and he said he'd won a total of $9,000 since he'd arrived in Columbus. Not a bad week of work.
While he lived up to his surname, this doesn't mean Moneymaker didn't lose a lot of hands along the way to novice and experienced players.
"It's a game of percentages and anything can happen in one night," he said. "But if you were to play for two weeks, the better player would win."
And this, he said, is what professional poker players count on and make their living from.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TopGolfCourseChaser Was destroyed on my first airline golf trip. Bad wheel base design. One wheel torn off and bag was torn...on first use. Bad wheel design. My prior bag had made about 100 flights before I had to replace it....it was a Samsonite that was not sexy but very functional.....Not sure why I thought this bag might be better. I had taken my Samsonite golf travel bag to 4 continents and only experienced the usual airline small gash or cut. After 4 years with that bag, it finally failed from all the small airline gashes....but at least the wheels were still intact. This bag died after its first trip.....Don't buy this bag.....it will not last. September 3, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Taaamps Not very durable I used the bag only 4 times before the seems ripped away from the plastic base. Thankfully Delta reimbursed me but I also noticed the plastic wheel had broken off. I will never buy another Bag Boy. It's expected that when you travel that your luggage will get tossed around and the bag should be more durable, in my opinion. March 15, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Happygolfer Good protection I like the hardtop feature. The bag wa seasy to use and transport since it comes with rolling wheels. It is bulky and I had a hard time fitting it in my trunk. April 9, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by WW broken after a couple of trips I had this bag for 2 years, within which period of time I used only a couple of times, the handle started falling apart. It is hard to use. However, I don like my other Bag Boy's products, such as the pull cart. March 4, 2015

Rated 1 out of 5 by Not happy with purchase POORLY MADE!!!!!! I have used the bag on 4 short trips. After the 4th trip, I found the bag falling apart. Poorly made. The bag is about 15 months old. Called to see what could be done. Over a Year old. They will not do anything. August 1, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lars Very Good Golf Club Travel Bag I have made multiple trips over the last 5 years and have never had an issue with this bag. It is light weight and the hard top section provides excellent club head protection. I especially like the portable nature of the carrier for storage. Highly recommend this for travel purposes. August 1, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by WKM DON"T BUY FROM BAG BOY!!! I had this bag for 2 years, but really only used it a couple times for short trips. I take care of my goods... I handle and store my equipment carefully.On the bag's 3rd airline trip (so only it's 5th flight leg) the ENTIRE BOTTOM END of the bag ripped wide open. You could tell it was a stitching problem.[...]I called Bag Boy, and they not only invoked the "1 year warranty" excuse... but they refused to even consider a "discounted price to replace" option. No customer appreciation at all... and no responsibility for shoddy workmanship.Shame on BagBoy[...]WKM April 28, 2011

One shining "fashion spotlight that we all look forward to in the dead of winter is Mercedes Benz Fashion Week NYC. The city buzzes with excitement as veteran and emerging designers put forth their creations for Spring/Summer 2014. From February 6th to the 13th this fashion week's schedule is packed with designer shows that highlight their efforts over the past year for the up and coming season.
Even though is seems that women's fashion is the focus for most designers in this Mercedes Benz Fashion Week show, there are several menswear designers on the scene. For example, Libertine is a brand that was created by Johnson Hartig in 2000 and has revolutionized the use of graphic art in traditional clothing. The first runway photo is noted for its unusual subject matter of heads that are boldly distributed over his grey sports jacket and tan trousers. This particular look reminds me of a post card that has been stamped several times over and may be too "graphic" for most tastes.
The second design by Libertine for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is a multi-colored, simulation of patterns that looks more like he is wearing a suit made from a piñata! The explosions of colors and patterns would definitely be an attention-getter.
Another men's designer who caught my eye is Ricardo Seco. He was originally a businessman from Mexico, who's love of fashion made him a self taught designer who is revered for his clean, unique style. One of my favorite looks is this black and white color-blocked leather jacket with the wide lapels that is paired with a black and grey layered t-shirt and casual tie-waist black trousers. This design by Seco is a very wearable and timeless look. The pants though are less than amazing – perhaps he should look to Edwin Jeans for some inspiration?
Ricardo Seco's version of graphic design is much simpler with this long men's tank top with the grey "swimming fish". It looks great with the fuller leg pants, but I am not so sold on the sleeveless leather baseball jacket. Pair them with some Redwing Boots though and maybe you could pull off a deconstructed military look!

Is anyone else scared to death of Wednesday's day game in Seattle? Assuredly, we will lose today and then get swept by the Yankees. But that Wednesday game with McAllister on the mound is looming ominous. Our best starter against an average RHP on a getaway day could be the difference between another 11 game losing streak and simply a routine 7 gamer, and then the inevitable start of a new one on Friday.
The 11 gamer can only bode more well for a firing of Acta and Antonetti. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we are all worrying for nothing.

Comments: Bought this for the upcoming 2012 season. I have (5) Plano 3700's and (1) 3701 which pretty much maxes out the bag. Lots of storage so hopefully the bag holds up over time.
