DENVER - University of Denver men's lacrosse sophomore Cameron Flint (Georgetown, Ontario) scored four goals and had an assist to lead the No. 16/17 Pioneers (1-1) to an 11-6 victory over Vermont (2-1) in the 2011 home opener Sunday afternoon at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium.
"Vermont is a good team, but we forced them to settle for some tough shots," said head coach Bill Tierney. "We were as good as we can be and as bad as we can be all in one game, but we are starting to come together. Our guys are still getting used to playing with each other and this was a good win for us."
Junior Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Ohio) grabbed his first goal of the season and had an assist for Denver, while sophomore Eric Law (Centennial, Colo.) tallied his first points of the season with two assists. Freshman Jamie Faus (Lakeville, Conn.) stopped 11 shots and recorded the first win of his college career.
Connor McNamara had two goals for Vermont and Geoff Worley had a goal and an assist. David Barton made 19 saves in the loss.
Defensively, senior Jeff Brown (Cohasset, Mass.) turned in an outstanding performance for the Pioneers as he limited Vermont's leading scorer Drew Philie to just one goal. Brown finished the day with three ground balls and three caused turnovers. Freshman Harley Brown (New Canaan, Conn.) led the way with five caused turnovers, while redshirt junior Brendan DeBlois (Narragansett, R.I.) finished with five ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Denver led Vermont in shots (42-26) and ground balls (39-26), and forced 21 turnovers on the day. The Pioneers also won 11-of-21 face-offs and were 20-of-23 on clears.
Denver fell behind 1-0 midway through the first quarter, but the Pioneers came roaring back to grab the 3-1 lead following goals from junior Patrick Rogers (Portland, Ore.), sophomore Colin Scott (Ridgefield, Conn.) and Flint.
Vermont scored to open the second quarter, but DU answered when sophomore Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) scored. Following a Catamount goal, Flint scored his second of the afternoon with to 2:50 to play in the quarter and DU led 5-3 at halftime.
Junior Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) opened up the third quarter when he gave Denver a 6-3 lead less than a minute into the second half. Senior Andrew Lay (Denver, Colo.), Flint, senior Todd Baxter (Eden Prairie, Minn.) and Demopoulos all added to the Pioneers' lead in the third, while the Pioneers' defense held the Catamounts scoreless to take a 10-3 advantage heading into the fourth.
Flint scored the lone DU goal of the fourth quarter, his fourth of the game, while Vermont tallied three goals in the quarter making for the 11-6 final.
The Pioneers host the DU Face-Off Classic March 5-6 at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. Classic action opens with the Air Force Falcons taking on Manhattan on Saturday at 11 a.m., while Denver will face Jacksonville at 1:30 p.m. MT. Classic action continues on Sunday with Air Force taking on Jacksonville at 11 a.m. and the Pioneers facing Manhattan at 1:30 p.m.
Fans can follow the game via Live Stats and CoverItLive, both available through DenverPioneers.com.

Yivvits and MrBubble have definitely been waiting for the trailer a LONG TIME, and the idea of recording just a quick podcast to get their opinions out there was a great idea! Listen to the boys talk about how the trailer affected them, in a podcast that will take you all the way back to 1977!

Oh my goodness, can this be possible? I guess it is! This is a brand new, fresh podcast of Yivvits and MrBubble, where we catch up with the boys as they discuss Sony, Star Wars Galaxies, the new Rebels cartoon, and the future of the emulator "Swgemu." Throughout the episode, look out for plenty of familiar voices, soundboard playfulness, deep thoughts and concepts, plus exciting new dance moves. Yivvits and MrBubble are back, so come and join us for new adventures!

In this episode, we lay to rest our very good friend, Star Wars Galaxies. We take some time to give a brief history of the game, listen another player's opinion of the shutdown, discuss our own feelings on the matter, and MrBubble tells us a little bit about the SWG EMU. Finally, Yivvits wonders if some virtual worlds should be preserved even after they officially close. Enjoy!

It's been a while but we are finally back in the swing of things! Much like a moisture vaporator that never quite performed as well as Owen Lars expected, it won't be long before the SWG power generators are shut down one last time. On the plus side, your pals Yivvits and MrBubble are still here! In this episode, first we fill you in on why this episode took so long. Then, we talk to an old in-game friend and yammer some more about SWG closing. Next, because you, our listeners, haven't been sending us enough questions/comments, we spend way too long talking about radial arm saws. (When have we ever stayed on topic?) Finally, another old friend of the podcast calls in to chat about the closing of SWG, none other than Jason "Pex" Ryan! Enjoy!

Episode 142 is our first live call in show and we had a blast hearing from you! You'll probably remember some of our callers from previous episodes or the SWG forums. Hear what they have to say about the closure of SWG, what games they'll be playing, and much more. Didn't get a chance to call us? You're in luck! We'll be making this a fairly regular addition to the show. Be sure to follow our Twitter or join our Facebook group so you know when the next live call in time is scheduled!

After an extremely crazy start to summer Yivvits and MrBubble are back! As we mentioned in episode 140, each show will now be "disclaimed" by one of listeners reading the SWG Pledge. This week it's Jackson - thanks Jackson! Next, we begin to plan for the return of our in-game parties in 2012. Unfortunately, our plans hit one impassable roadblock. MrBubble talks about his recent stroke and fills us in on his progress (he's doing great!). He's also had some time to try out another MMORPG and even check out the SWG EMU. All this and much more in Episode 141!

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Derris Jones of the Division of Wildlife Resources reported to the Emery County Public Lands Council that the Range Creek management plan is being written and will be ready soon. He also stated that as far as wildlife is concerned, the Salt Lake group has given the ultimatum for the DWR to manage the wildlife in the state to objectives. This will cause an increase in the number of bull elk permits on public lands to be recommended. He estimated the number of elk permits on the Manti will raise to 345.
The Council recommended a replacement on the council for wildlife chair Eric Luke who resigned. Following advertisement for the position, two letters of application were received. The council reviewed the applications and voted to name Mark H Williams as their recommendation to the commissioners. The appointment will be made at the next commission meeting.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud reported to the council that little has changed with the RS-2477 issue. Although the bill passed defining the measurements of the roads and trails to be taken from the center line. This bill will allow the county to move forward with setting up a template for this recording. Commissioner Sitterud requested a group made up of members of this board to help with setting up that template.
The goal at present is to get as many of the roads recorded as possible. In this beginning phase, all of the roads that are not in contention will be recorded, and the records will be kept electronically in the county recorders office. Each road that is recorded must have been in continual use since 1967.
Members of the council questioned Commissioner Sitterud about the ruling of RS-2477 stating the year 1976. Commissioner Sitterud informed them that the most recent ruling said that a road must have been in use for 10 years prior to FLPMA in 1976. They have filed an appeal, but as yet have no answer, so they must work on the latest ruling guidelines.
"This is the first time we have been able to record any roads so this will be interesting to see what works out," said Commissioner Sitterud. "We are going to go until we are appealed and then we will have to stop at that point."
A discussion followed concerning the forest service roads. Most of the roads being considered in the RS-2477 issue are on the Bureau of Land Management lands. Each county makes recommendations to the forest service about the roads and to this point the forest service has taken the recommendations.
In the access portion of the council meeting, Ray Petersen announced the new BLM route designation maps will be out soon. The maps are at the printer now and everyone is hoping for distribution to begin before April 1.
Petersen announced a meeting for public comments concerning the Factory Butte area. This meeting will be held at the courthouse in Loa on March 24 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. "This area has become a focus point of motorized access recently," said Petersen.
Council member Priscilla Burton reported about the split estate issue. This means that a portion of land is owned by a party, who is considered the surface owner. The mineral rights may be held by another individual or entity. Sometimes issues are raised where the surface owner and the mineral rights owners can be at odds over rights. The surface owner generally has no say about what means are taken by the mineral rights owner to access or extract the minerals.
During the forest service report, Chairman Bruce Wilson reported that he is heading up a group of dedicated hunters who are going to install cattle guards on several of the roads and trails. The first one will be in the Rock Canyon area and several others will soon follow. "This will be an ongoing project by the dedicated hunters, so if anyone knows of an area where a cattle guard is needed, please let us know," said Wilson.
During the heritage report, Mike McCandless reported that the process has begun to join the Old Spanish Trail Association. The paper work is being completed to form an Emery County chapter. "There will be a scoping meeting at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River on April 19 at 5:30 p.m. It is very important that everyone attends and comments about the future of the Spanish Trail. This meeting is to take public comments about what to do with these routes," said McCandless.
Sherrel Ward reported about the water conditions in Emery County. "Prior to these last two storms, we were looking at a March just like the one two years ago. We were way below average. Following these storms, every drainage is above the 100 percent mark. Things are looking good," said Ward.
Concerning the salinity project, Ward reported the attorneys for the Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company and the Bureau of Reclamation have each studied the issue and agreed that the project did not require a bid process. This allowed HCIC to negotiate with Nielson Construction for the completion of the project. Construction will begin in the spring.
Wayne Luddington of the BLM stated that a large contingent of volunteers is coming into the Swell to work on signage of the roads and trails to be in compliance with the new route designation plan. Volunteers are coming from Emery and Carbon counties as well as from the Wasatch Front. These volunteers are OHV groups and dedicated hunters. Sometime during the first part of April, a large group will come from Grand Junction, Colo. to work on the east side of the Swell.
Petersen made the proposal for the Public Lands Council to take a field trip into Range Creek. He has filled out the necessary application for admittance and is proposing to take the trip in June. The council approved the date of June 16 for the trip.
The next Emery County Public Lands Council will be April 11 at 10 a.m. in the county building.

A nimble and lightweight road racer, the PR breaking Saucony Type A5 features minimal cushioning and a firm ride.
Lead the pack in the Saucony Grid Type A5. This racing flat is lighter than ever with super thin overlays that hug your feet without heating them up. A thin, flexible midsole provides great feel for the ground while still protecting you from the sting of the pavement. Lace up, get out, and get ahead.
Model Number:
Weight: 5.0 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (16mm), Forefoot (12mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How It Fits (based on width B)
The Grid Type A5 is a moderate featured, lightweight racing flat designed for neutral or supinating runners.
Comments: Loved these for racing a half marathon. I gradually increased my running in lower drop shoes like the NB 730 and Altra Zero Drop Intuition before racing a half marathon in this style. I went up one half size in these compared with what I wear in the Saucony Mirage.
From: Amanda, CA
Comments: These are really great. In structure they are identical to last year's. That's the best thing. Second-best thing is the citron-and-magenta colorway. I may buy another pair while they're still available. I got rid of my last TypeA 5's when they had 200-300 miles on them, but I rather wish I'd held onto them, since they were good for at least another hundred. I found them particularly good for long mixed-surface runs. The radial-tire-like plate gives enough purchase for trail and asphalt without weighing you down. I am currently rotating among the TypeA 5, the Kinvara 3 and 4, the New Balance 1600, and some minimalist shoes. Only in comparison with the Kinvaras would I consider the TypeA 5 to be a lightweight racer; it's a middleweight all-purpose flat, so far as I am concerned. It gives more support and structure than the NB 1600 and minimalist shoes, but has a very flexible plate.
From: Margot Sheehan, New York, NY
Comments: These shoes are not very good. They fall apart.
From: Jill, Indiana
Comments: Bright, flexible and sturdy enough for long runs. I've done 20 milers in these. The curve of the shoe makes the toe box a little short on the lateral side but I'd buy another pair.
From: AJ, Texas

Quoteop-amp that has a very high common mode voltage rejection ratingI thought about something like that, but it requires much more circuitry [45 opAmps,plus etc] than the other approaches. But would be very good for a few sample points only.
op-amp that has a very high common mode voltage rejection rating
45 DPST relays
Check out the linked pdf doc.
separate Arduino processors, powered at different points in the battery chain, and each reading 6 A/D channels,
Or just one with a 2 pole 45 throw switch ahead of the opamp.
A balancer type does more than just measure individual cell voltage.
relays for computer logic gates.
and 4 Megas
We did an entire runway lighting control system with relays once, 1000s of them in 19" racks, all plug-in modules with NAND, AND, OR, flip flop etc functions and all at 48 volts.It was destined for an Asian country (Malaysia I think) and the design brief was that it had to be simple technology that the "natives" could fix.

After more than a year of on-again, off-again construction, the new corporate and business office for Nielson Construction is complete.
The new office in Huntington will provide much needed elbow room for the rapidly growing company and is the new home for the management and office personnel of Nielson Companies, with a larger conference room and planning room.
The new office will also greatly enhance the professionalism of the entire company and be the focal point for a company which has made huge strides forward in its capabilities in the past several years.
"The new office will raise our image of professionalism tremendously," said Wayne Nielson, company president.
Running the company in the old offices over the past several years has proven to be a struggle, with people literally bumping into each other in an effort to get the job done. "We outgrew this office so many years ago it's been amazing that we've been able to get things done," said Ralph Nielson, Nielson Construction Vice President.
The old office will be converted into the purchasing office and warehouse for the Huntington location.
The dispatch office and safety office moved to a trailer positioned to the south of the new office.
In another, smaller trailer in the same area Reed Brasher maintains the Nielson Lab, ensuring that asphalt and gravel meets necessary specifications for the company's customers.
The new office, along with the acquisition of an asphalt plant last year and a new consruction yard on Ridge Road near Price three years ago is all part of the Nielson's plan of investing heavily in the company their father, John C. Nielson, started more than 50 years ago, and raising it to another dimension.
"The new office is a great sign that Nielson's is growing and moving forward," Wayne Nielson said.

A $1 million endowment was donated to Rochester Institute of Technology's Rochester City Scholars program by RIT president William Destler and his wife, Rebecca Johnson, university officials announced.
The program was founded in 2010 by the couple to offer free tuition for graduates of the Rochester City School District who are admitted to RIT as full-time freshman studying in baccalaureate programs and meet eligibility requirements. Academic and personal support also is offered through the program at RIT's Multicultural Center for Academic Success.
"Lack of finances should not prevent a talented student from getting a college education," Destler said in a statement. "We have been so impressed with the students who have come through the program so far that we wanted to ensure that future students had the same opportunities."
The program is funded by private donations and institutional support. Tuition for full-time students is $35,256 a year, which is covered for four years for the scholarship recipients, RIT's website states.
"The RIT community supports our district in many ways, but none are more important than helping Rochester students to attend and succeed in a world-class university," Rochester City School District Superintendent Bolgen Vargas said in a statement.
In May, the first class of the program graduated from RIT. Since the program was started in 2010, nearly 100 students have participated.

Anti-Smoking Advocates Fight for Cigarette Tax Against Comically Evil Big Tobacco
On Tuesday, Californians will vote on a ballot initiative for a $1-a-pack cigarette tax. While raising cigarette taxes does discourage smoking, especially among teenagers, support for Proposition 29 has waned.
That might have something to do with the $47 million anti-Prop. 29 advertising campaign, largely funded by the tobacco industry. They have outspent the initiative's proponents four to one, causing considerable frustration.
"You think of California as a healthy, progressive state leading in tobacco cessation," said Chris Lehman, one of the organizers behind the initiative. "It's just not. And it's not for lack of trying."
California's current cigarette tax, 87 cents, is only about half the national average. California is also one of only three states that have not raised the tax over the past decade. As John R. Seffrin, chief executive of the American Cancer Society puts it, "They are overdue."
The tax would raise $735 million, but all of that money would be used toward funding cancer research. The plan's organizers explained that they felt they would have an easier time getting the initiative passed if people knew where the money was going.
But the timing is unfortunate: just last month Governor Jerry Brown announced that California is facing a $16 billion deficit. Opponents of Prop. 29 have used that to their advantage, noting that the tax increase would do nothing to benefit a state in dire need of financial relief.
In case you were wondering, supporters of the new cigarette tax include the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, and the American Lung Association. Those funding the massive campaign against it: Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, and the California Republican Party.

Cute, but ankle strap not adjustable!
"I got these sandals, and I did not notice online that the ankle strap wasn't adjustable. The cuff was way too big for my ankles and looked horrible. I returned them to the store."

Not As Cute In Person
"I'd been eyeing these shoes online for awhile. They didn't have them in my nearby store and I wasn't sure how they'd look in person. But when they went on clearance, I snapped them up. Unfortunately, my first instinct was right. Maybe they will appeal to someone else, but when these came they just didn't make enough of an impression for me to keep them in favor of something else I might like better. Also, the opening for the ankle is very narrow and the material is stiff. I knew after taking two steps that these would give me killer blisters if I wore them for any length of time."

Vehicle Driven into Charles River in Cambridge; Both Passengers Escape to Safety
A car carrying two passengers was driven into the Charles River shortly before noon on Friday, and both people were able to make it to safety, Massachusetts State Police said.
The car was traveling down Memorial Drive when it went into the river in Cambridge near Western Avenue, police told The Boston Globe. The Marine Unit of the State Police and Cambridge Fire Department came on-site as workers attempted to lift the car from the waters.
Adam Harding of 7News spoke to the driver of the car, who said someone pulled him from the water.
Live video of the scene from WCVB-TV shows a traffic backup at the Memorial-Western Ave. intersection.
Cambridge Police advised drivers to avoid the area due to "slow moving traffic."
The vehicle was pulled from the river shortly before 1.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Let's get into it.
Direct hit fireball WITHOUT fire protection buff = 39 damage.
Direct hit fireball WITH fire protection buff = 29 damage.
The knockback effect seems unaffected by the fire protection buff. The knockback of fireball is highly dependant on where it strikes the player. In the first shot we can see the fireball hits the cameraman right in the chest and sends him slightly backwards in a straight line. The next shot it hits him off center and in the legs/feet and he is knocked up slightly and farther back in the direction we'd expect.
During the Magma Bomb demo the cameraman is hit by a normal archery arrow, not an ability. You can tell because the arrow arcs to the cameraman which is inconsistent with any skirmisher abilities we've seen thus far.
The arrow hits for 44 damage.
Contrary to what myself and many others thought initially, it appears armor does NOT have an impact on knockbacks. In the final clip of the Heat Stroke demo when you look at it slowly, the player on the left is actually quite a bit farther away from the point of impact than the player on the right. In the first Heat Stroke clip the target is wearing heavier armor and a direct hit Heat Stroke sends them flying.
It looks like AV has implemented balance to some degree. The direct hit damage of a Fireball is 5 damage less than an arrow on a similar geared opponent. An arrow is much easier to direct hit with than a fireball in combat but the fireball will always have it's aoe damage (damage scaled down based on point of impact distance from target, just like DF1). It appears that with a FIre mage you are clearly comprimising DPS for CC.
I think this is very promising. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: New findings
Bunnyhopping in its current DF1 form appears to have been removed from the game. You can see this most clearly in the final clip with the player on the right. When they are falling back to the ground from the knockup you can see that their forward momentum drastically slows as they come closer to the ground. Thanks to pestiliencethecat on youtube for pointing this out.
Double edit: more findings
In the first demostration of the Fire protection buff, we can see as the cameramn starts casting the spell the number 5 on the left spell circle becomes red. This appears to indicate what spell you are currently casting (probably depending on keybindings). When the cameraman hops in the lava, the numbers 1-5 turn red. This seems to indicate that a mage cannot cast spells in water (whether on surface or under). That being said, there could be something equivalent to aqua shot from DF1 that you can purchase in order to do underwater magery.
On a similar note, in the magma bomb demonstration we can see something very intersting. During the first clip of magma bomb the time is 12:30 CST. Right after the magma bomb is released the #2 changes from red to white. This seems to indicate that the spell is off cooldown and able to be casted again. The next clip the time is 3:45 CST which simply means that this clip was recorded at a different time. However, after casting magma bomb during this clip the #2 stays red for the rest of the duration of the clip. What does this mean? The devs have live control over things in the game. During the first clip they most likely set the cooldown to 0 so they could cast a bunch of magmas for the sake of the video. In the second clip at a later time, it appears the cooldown had been set back to normal. This is a HUGE deal considering in DF1 this cooldown wouldn't be able to be changed without a patch to be applied during server down. To be clear, I am speculating and this isn't confirmed.

Thanks for the effort you put in to this post. I am not sure the knockup effects will scale with skill levels of spells or not. I hope not, knock ups were annoying in df1, mostly used to navigate over walls or barriers. Making the walls in siege battles almost pointless in certain cases. Hopefully unholy wars will not turn in to a launch/ knock up fest.
I would suspect that the "level" of these skills used is going to be relatively high in the video. This is based off the amount of damage caused to geared opponents. Of course, the amount of damage and hp a character has and does could be changed dramatically, but if you go off DF1 damage output this would be about right for maxed out fire.
Also, it appears confirmed by this video that you can switch from 1st person to close 3rd person while using magic for sure. Personally, I liked the old way of 1st person only for magic/archery, but I can accept the new way as long as it gets more people in the game.
P.S. It is very interesting how much the "fire shield" actually protects you now, and I wonder if someone in a support role like a buff bot for buff others will become extremely important as it is now a much more significant difference in the amount of damage you take.
Wow, thanks for the attention to detail - especially with the numbers on damage. I just glanced at the video fairly quickly during my lunch break and I finally got home. Was going to discern the video a bit more closely but it looks like you did much of the hard work for me
I like that it _appears_ to be that archery has some teeth to it. Hopefully skirmishers can hold their own because it's the role that I'm mostly interested in. I love my rangers / scouts / rogues....pretty much any non magical light to medium geared dps "classes".
And THANK ALL THAT IS HOLY that bunny hoping is removed. Hopefully this will give mounts much more usefulness in the long run. Overall I was very pleased with the video. Significantly better than their first 2 role videos. Hopefully AV will see all the positive feedback they are geting on facebook and the forums and make the next one like it.
With forumfall being down, I'm surprised there aren't more Forumfallers over here.
I'd like to echo the thanks for the attention to detail, Indef. Never got to meet you in game, but you seem like a pretty stand-up individual. Kudos.

That would be nice, but heck! I can't remember my login info and I tried to retrieve it and no dice. I get emails but it tells me I don't exist. It will allow me to sign up with my email that I had account with previously, very odd and too lazy to report it. I will buy another copy to save me the hassle.
I too hope to stick around and hope it draws in a bigger crowd. Would make for fun times in OW PvP.
FPS aiming one spell, 3rd person aiming the next.
I think that's pretty major.

One of the big problems of the game was that there were not many places with going to, so unless you were at a sea tower or demon, you had to be in a siege or pvp tourney. Hopefully this world will be worth exploring to get people out and about and make it full of life.
Couldnt be more wrong a bout this. On the surface for someone who hadnt played much or getting into the game deep...yeah whats the point of most places right?
Once you get into the game more than a few minuets, or even a few days, you learn where mobs are that drop stuff thats needed for you, friends, or by the market.
It became very worthwhile to explore, kill some mobs that you saw and see what they dropped. Yes there were tools that negated this that were optional like that 3rd party interactive map...however even when you know exactly where stuff is and what drops off them theres not a whole lot of worthless map space.
In fact, prior to the map being made, exploration of the huge world was fantastic. I remember wandering and finding a dungeon seemingly hidden. It was great because i dont think anyone knew about it for a while and was very profitable. I did get followed in once and it didnt end well, after that it became more populated and higher risk, i moved on explored some more ect.
A lot of the surprise in exploring was finding mob spawns, mobs never spawned on top of eachother and you had to look for them, there was no way to really judge if you could take a spawn either, wich added to the fun.
This comment seems from someone who played the game on the free trial and left.

13225 East State Highway 33
Newton, IL 62448
For several
decades the residents of Jasper County worked for a state park, assisted
and encouraged by a former resident and conservationist, Sam Parr. In
1960, 72 acres of land approximately 3 miles northeast of Newton were acquired by the Department of Natural Resources
and the Jasper County Conservation Area became a reality. Additional acquisitions
have brought the total acreage to 1,180, including a 183-acre lake.
After the death of
Sam Parr in 1966, the General Assembly changed the name from Jasper County
to Sam Parr. The site was formally dedicated on May 12, 1972.
As in most of Illinois,
the early inhabitants of this area were Native Americans. For nearly 1,000 years
they fished and lived along the Embarrass River and hunted in nearby woodlands,
including what is now Sam Parr State Fish and Wildlife Area.
The 1770s brought
the French and the westward expansion of the American colonists, who pushed
the Native Americans westward into Illinois in search for new lands. The Piankashaw
finally settled in this area and they lived in comparative peace with
the French who lived with them, adapting many of their ways. General Harrison,
from Vincennes, Indiana, negotiated a treaty with the Piankashaws in 1812,
whereby they gave up nearly one million acres of land to the United States
government, including what is now Jasper county. Att he time about 140
Piankashaw Indians remained in the area.
The dam built in 1971
impounds a 183-acre lake, which has a maximum depth of 28 feet and 9 miles of shoreline. Nestled in a rolling, timbered area the lake attracts
nesting wood ducks and contains largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish,
crappie, channel catfish and bullhead. Two launching ramps are located
on the west side of the lake.
Boats with maximum
10 HP motors are allowed on the lake, and canoes are popular. Boat
dock rentals are available. Fishing access and parking also
is available on the east side of the lake via a county road.
Facilities at Sam
Parr include four picnic areas for day use, shelters in all picnic areas,
more than 2 miles of foot trails and 13 miles of equestrian trails.
Class B/E, C &
D, and youth camping are available.

As the Barron's ETF Focus column has noted, so-called "low volatility" exchange-traded funds are a hot item this year. One reason: They've been untrue to the "low volatility" label in an important way. They've risen very quickly.
The pattern of outperformance lately is undoing itself. As we put it in the column: "[W]hen low-volatility stocks become hot, by definition they're on their way to becoming something else."
Here's the chart of the relative strength of the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV) versus the S&P 500 (SPY) this year:
And here's a chart showing the S&P 500 ETF — yellow — catching up with the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility Index Fund (USMV) — blue — lately:
The good news for long-term fund investors is that these ETFs aren't stuck with the same stocks year after year. They'll rebalance into whatever shares their indexes' rules dictate.

The only thing that bugs me about it is the t-strap is a little loose which I understand is for better movement when walking but it's the only part I don't like.

Coffee of the Irish
With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, may the luck...and drinks, of the Irish be with you. Given the upcoming festivities, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the history of one of the most (in)famous, drinks in the world—the Irish Coffee.
In true Celtic fashion, think Leprechauns and pots of gold, the origins of the Irish Coffee begins with a local folklore...Legend has it that the drink was invented in a cafe at the now-defunct Foynes Airport. In 1943, on a particularly nasty winter evening, a flight bound for Botwood, Newfoundland made the critical decision to return to Foynes after several hours in the air. Consider that 1943 was during WWII and commercial air travel was really in its infancy—think well-heeled men and women on a flying-boat voyage. The circumstances of the diverted flight were trying at best and left passengers a little bit more than peeved.
Upon making the decision to head back to Foynes, the captain reportedly sent a Morse-code message to the control tower, alerting ground operations personnel of the impending return. At the terminal, preparations were made to welcome back the crew and passengers. I know, you're skeptical already; but keep in mind, this was the 1940s...flying was a glitzy affair.
Back to the regularly scheduled story...Head chef Joe Sheridan of the airport restaurant was hastily asked to make something to warm the passengers and lift their spirits. He decided to...well...add a little spirit to their drinks. After all what could keep you warmer and happier than a hot coffee and some good old Irish whiskey? As the night progressed and everybody had been served, one of the passengers approached Sheridan to thank him for the hospitality. Making small talk, the passenger asked if Brazilian coffee had been used to prepare the drink...To which Sheridan responded "No, that was Irish Coffee." The rest is history.
From that night forward, Irish Coffee was served to all passengers going through Foynes Airport. The tradition continues to this day; dignitaries arriving at Shannon Airport are still welcomed with a warm cup of Irish Coffee. Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style? Try this authentic Irish Coffee Recipe:
Joe Sheridan's Original Irish Coffee
- 30ml Irish Whiskey
- Freshly brewed coffee
- 2 teaspooons of sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh whipping cream or double cream
Preheat an Irish Coffee Mug using hot water. Try our Stout, Classic or Pedestal version of the mug. Pour freshly brewed coffee into the mug; add sugar and whiskey. Top with cream.

Ahh great! thx for telling about the wendy mention.
Obviously she´s the character i´m interested in the most now. She must be a dragon slayer... I´m curious what kind though. I think that girl is something special.
After reading back those pages they also mention: the dragon king feast. Wendy might be the slayer trained by the dragon king? She's obviously connected to the dragons in an important way for the plot.
Hmm also an idea i have: the dragon king could be the slayer who wins in some sort of tournament between slayers... Awh well.. i'm just thinking of ideas right now. :p
Another note: Now i know why certain members got chosen.
Lucy obviously got chosen to work together with that other girl who can manipulate dolls/spirits etc. That makes a good combination.
And gray will work together with leon for some stronger icemagic.
Then we have the guy who's 1 of the '10 holy mages' as the leader of the group followed by Erza.
Then the guys who call themselves 'night' i'm interested in what they do...
Natsu is obviously there to meet wendy, curious about that combination.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Malcolm Allen Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am glad that immediacy is 14 days.
When the government's special investigator said that the food safety system needed serious repair, the government promised to invest $75 million. Not only was the $75 million missing in last week's budget, so were the words food safety, not a single mention. What is worse, the government cut funding to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that protects Canadians.
Could the minister explain where the $75 million he promised for food safety is and why the government plans to cut an already underfunded Canadian Food Inspection Agency?
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, the member from the NDP just proved that he did not read either the throne speech or the budget. Food safety is mentioned in both of those.
As he should know, that $75 million was announced last summer. It is already in play. We have already worked toward hiring the 166 inspectors who were also mentioned in that. Guess what? The NDP did not vote for any of that product. It keeps voting against it. While we stand to rebuild the CFIA cratered by the Liberals, the NDP stands in the road constantly. It is shameful.
Oral Questions
March 11th, 2010 / 2:55 p.m.
Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, human rights in Burma have long been a cause for concern for the international community, and that is putting it lightly. The military regime in Burma is by far one of the worst and most repressive regimes in the world. Unfortunately, even if Burmese citizens are successful in escaping the terror, many still face starvation and disease in the refugee camps of bordering nations.
Could the Minister of International Cooperation update the House on what our government is doing to help the refugees and migrants fleeing the Burmese regime?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, yes, it is true that there is a tragedy happening in Burma and the Burmese continue to suffer. We have been supporting the Burmese border area program and it has achieved success by providing service to Burmese people. One million cases of malaria have been treated, 145,000 refugees are receiving service and over 500,000 people have received health care.
That is why I am pleased today to announce a renewal of the Burmese border area program by increasing the amount to under $16 million.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, we have all seen Canadians' and Quebeckers' extraordinary solidarity and generosity in the wake of the January 12 earthquake in Haiti. Action was urgently needed. People had until February 12 to make donations. What was the result? People donated $154 million, and the federal government created a $128 million emergency fund. Time was of the essence, according to CIDA, because this money had to be used quickly to meet urgent needs in Haiti.
If action was so urgently needed, why has not one cent of this fund, nothing, nada, been spent to date, when the minister has been in a position to spend this money for several weeks now?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, quite contrary to nada, in fact, this government put forward $85 million immediately in the early days following the earthquake. We have also supported Canadian charities. There are over 357 charities in Canada that have received the support of generous Canadians and we know that the humanitarian relief needs are being met.
We are now confirming the contributions for the matching fund and the matching fund will go toward recovery and reconstruction in line with the plans of the government.
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Claude Guimond Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, now more than ever, a complete overhaul of the EI system is needed in order to improve it. In the meantime however, the government must renew transitional measures for workers in the Lower St. Lawrence and North Shore area. In these tough economic times, workers expect their government to support them, not to add to the uncertainty and anxiety of the situation.
My question is simple: will the transitional measures be renewed?
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jean-Pierre Blackburn Minister of Veterans Affairs and Minister of State (Agriculture)
Mr. Speaker, we introduced transitional measures on September 5, 2008, for a period of 18 months. These measures allow the communities of the Lower St. Lawrence and North Shore area to work fewer weeks to qualify for EI and to receive additional weeks of benefits.
These are transitional measures and we have not yet decided if we are going to renew them. However, we have done a great deal to improve employment insurance.
Rights & Democracy
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, according to the act of Parliament governing Rights & Democracy, board members must act honestly and in its best interests. Unfortunately, the actions of the current board and its chairman have caused a crisis in the organization. The chair of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has accused the board of destroying the institution. Clearly the chairman and his allies are in violation of an act of Parliament.
Will the government take immediate action to address the abuses of the board, uphold the law and protect Canada's international reputation?
Rights & Democracy
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Calgary East
Deepak Obhrai Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, Rights & Democracy is an arm's-length organization that is run by its board of directors and staff, and it is not part of the public service. This government takes very seriously Rights & Democracy and has appointed a new president to continue working to give a new direction to Rights & Democracy. We will be working with him in the foreign affairs committee to look at this issue.
The Budget
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Dona Cadman Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, our government is continuing our focus on economic growth and job creation. In year two of Canada's economic action plan, $19 billion in stimulus will be at work in the Canadian economy. Our plan has created 135,000 jobs since last July, yet the Liberals continually vote against our economic action plan.
Would the Minister of Finance please inform the House why the tax and spend Liberals continue to vote against our plan?
The Budget
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, we have Canada's economic action plan. The Liberals have Canada's economic inaction plan. We are lowering taxes for Canadians. The Liberals want to raise taxes. We are protecting health and social transfers to the provinces. The Liberals were slashing those to the bone in the 1990s. While our plan will protect and create 220,000 jobs, the Liberal plan would kill jobs in Canada. How many jobs would the Liberal plan kill? Informetrica says 162,000 Canadian jobs would be lost with a 2% Liberal rise in the GST.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is Thursday, so it is time to look ahead to what will be on the government's agenda for the House of Commons next week.
First, I would like to ask the government House leader how he plans to fix one of the many problems the Prime Minister created by proroguing Parliament from December until March. I specifically refer to Standing Order 81(4), which provides that the government's main estimates for the coming fiscal year are deemed to be referred for scrutiny to the various standing committees of the House of Commons on March 1 of every year. This year, of course, the House stood prorogued on March 1. There was a prime ministerial padlock on the place. MPs were prohibited from doing their jobs here. The committees of the House did not exist, so Standing Order 81(4) was violated.
What is the government's plan for getting its main estimates referred to all of the standing committees? If that does not happen, there will be no main estimates and, therefore, no money for the government to operate on.
Second, I would like to ask about the business for next week. After all of that heavy recalibration the government went through while it was AWOL from December to March, I presume that we will see an agenda for next week that is just chockablock full of new government work, I repeat, new government work.
I would remind the government House leader that next week is one of those weeks that had been specifically scheduled by the House to be a constituency week for members of Parliament. The government instead insisted on shifting next week to Ottawa for essential, urgent, momentous government business. What is it going to be? I am sure it will be much more than a series of opposition days and the continuation of a rather pointless debate about a throne speech that is 95% recycled.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Prince George—Peace River
Jay Hill Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I really do not know where to begin. I think you would agree with me, Mr. Speaker, that the hon. House leader of the official opposition seems to be making the Thursday question longer and longer. In fact, he is ending up making speeches as opposed to just asking a question about future government business. Let me just add some points as briefly as possible, in response to some of the questions he posed.
First, on the issue of prorogation, I think I did reply at some length last week when his deputy House leader asked the question, because he was unfortunately detained, I am sure, somewhere and not able to ask the question himself last Thursday. I would not suggest, as he has, that he was AWOL, of course. At any rate, on the issue of prorogation, very clearly this is a mechanism that governments have used from the very beginning of Confederation. We have said this repeatedly. On average, it has been about once a year that prorogation has been used to end a session of Parliament and begin a new one.
I would point out to my hon. colleague that under a previous Liberal administration, it was used a couple of times and 15 sitting days were lost. He would be able to do the math. He alleged during his remarks that prorogation was actually from December to March. In fact, we only lost 22 sitting days and, of those, 10 have been restored. With the acceptance of all parties in the House, we have agreed to set aside two of the constituency break weeks and instead do the business of the House here in Ottawa. Therefore, in reality, we have lost 12 sitting days during this prorogation, unlike the Liberal Party in past parliaments that on more than one occasion lost 15 sitting days, and they did not think there was anything wrong with that. They thought that was the way they would go about doing their business.
As I said last week, very clearly what they are upset about is that prorogation was used once before to prevent Canadians from facing an illicit, and immoral, I would add, coalition of the three opposition parties to seize power just weeks after Canadians had gone to the polls and re-elected the Conservative government with an increased mandate. We want to be very clear about that use of prorogation.
I will get to the order of business, but first, we will continue today with our very important address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. I note that the hon. House leader for the official opposition, even though his own leader spoke at some length this morning, does not think, obviously, that those remarks were worthwhile, because he questions whether we should in fact be debating the Speech from the Throne. However, we will continue with debate on the Speech from the Throne. There are many members, I am sure, on both sides of the chamber who want to make some points about that great speech.
Tomorrow we will debate Bill C-2, the Canada-Colombia free trade agreement.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week shall be opposition allotted days. I am looking forward with bated breath as to what the opposition parties think should seize the nation, what issues they will bring forward. I hope it is not to discuss things like prorogation, but rather some substantive issues with some policy suggestions of how they want to see Canada go forward. It will be interesting.
To the very point about allotted opposition days, the opposition House leader knows very well that he and his colleagues in the opposition parties got together and deemed it necessary to impose upon me as government House leader certain parameters where I have to allot certain opposition days in a certain timeframe. Hence, his allegations that he would not like to see opposition days are pretty ill-founded, when it was his idea that he cooked up to begin with.
To the other point on how to go about fixing the present situation where, because of the Standing Orders, we see that we should have begun the supply cycle on March 1, I would like to make the following statement, because we do, as he points out quite correctly, eventually need to fix the supply cycle with a special order.
As background I refer to pages 881 and 882 of O'Brien and Bosc where it states:
From time to time, circumstances may require a deviation from the normal supply process and cycle. For example, because of an unscheduled adjournment or a prorogation or dissolution of Parliament, the main estimates might not be tabled and referred to standing committees before the March 1 deadline, or the interim supply or the main estimates might not be concurred in by the June 23 deadline. In those cases, the Standing Order provisions relating to the business of supply (such as those respecting the timetable for the tabling of estimates, their reference to standing committees and their return to the House, the concurrence motions and the appropriation bills) no longer apply.
This is the exact situation that we find ourselves in today. We currently have no mechanism to vote on the main estimates and supply. O'Brien and Bosc offers a solution on page 882:
Such situations may be dealt with by temporarily suspending the relevant Standing Orders. There may be an arrangement worked out between the government and the opposition parties to finalize supply as expeditiously as possible. Typically, this involves adopting a special order--
We have a typical problem with a typical solution. It has always been worked out in the past. I am sure it will be again.
If the NDP, for example, is tempted to deny consent for a special order to protest against prorogation, I point out that prorogation is a legitimate constitutional right, as I have said, exercised by Conservative and Liberal governments at the federal level and, in addition, by NDP and PQ governments at the provincial level.
The average duration in fact of a session of the NDP government in Manitoba has been 9.7 months. Yes, members heard me right: 9.7 months on average. René Lévesque's record was 10 months. Both of those governments had six sessions in one legislature, meaning they prorogued five times in a single legislature.
None of the members of the coalition of the prorogation outrage could even meet their own standard, I would submit.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I thank the House leader of the official opposition and the government House leader for their debate on the matter of House business.
I have a suggestion. The purpose of this question was to get a list of House business for the next week so members knew what was going to come up. We may have gotten that. There was debate on both sides, a lengthy speech, in my view, on both sides. If the House leaders could get together and have a practice round perhaps for this question and answer, I would be glad to preside and make suggestions for shortening the proceedings so we could get back to the meat of House business in this question, which is, after all, the purpose of it rather than cutting into debate time.

Dr. Khan noted that there are 10 United States Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for multiple sclerosis, none with any well-characterized reparative or remyelinating potential. Those treatments primarily focus on altering the behavior of the immune system and target inflammation.
However, this new approach targets remyelination in the central nervous system using a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the semaphorin 4D, a member of the semaphorin family of proteins and an important mediator of axonal growth cone guidance. Semaphorin-induced signaling also has been shown to induce growth cone collapse of neurons and apoptosis of neural precursors, and to induce process extension collapse and apoptosis of oligodendrocytes. Semaphorins consist of a family of soluble and membrane-bound proteins that were originally defined as axonal-guidance factors. These proteins play important roles in establishing precise connections between neurons and their appropriate targets.
"Therefore, it is a plausible target with the realistic goal of achieving remyelination," Dr. Khan said. "This is a paradigm shift and the start of the next generation of therapies to treat multiple sclerosis that will change its focus to repair rather than inflammation."
The brain can largely be divided into gray and white areas. Neurons are located in the gray area, and the white parts are where neurons send their axons – similar to electrical cables carrying messages – to communicate with other neurons and bring messages from the brain to muscles. The white parts of the brain are white because a cell type called oligodendrocytes makes a cholesterol-rich membrane called myelin that coats the axons. The myelin's function is to insulate the axons, similar to the plastic sheath coating electrical cables. In addition, the myelin speeds communication along axons and makes that communication more reliable. In patients with MS, their immune system attacks the myelin sheathing. The subsequent degradation leads to the messages from the brain to other parts of the body leaking and derailing from their intended target.
Restoring the myelin sheathing is the goal of Dr. Khan's new study.
The Wayne State University Multiple Sclerosis Center, in collaboration with Vaccinex, a privately-held biotechnology company headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., initiated this early stage dose-defining study, monitored by the FDA.
"If successful, this will lead to large scale studies with this molecule targeting remyelination in the brain as a primary focus, detected by advanced imaging techniques such as magnetization transfer ratio," Dr. Khan said. "The real challenge will be to reverse or reduce conduction blocks in the demyelinated nerve that may translate into neurologic improvement. If we could achieve that with this approach, it opens the door for hundreds of thousands of multiple sclerosis patients for whom no therapy is currently effective. This may also provide a unique opportunity in combining therapies with different mechanistic approaches."
WSU is home to the only MS center in Michigan and among the 10 sites in the world undertaking this translational initiative. The center is among the top five MS centers in the U. S., with more than 4,000 patients. The center is involved in cutting-edge immunologic, genetic, MR imaging and therapeutic studies.
Dr. Khan said only three molecules in the world, including this monoclonal antibody, are being investigated in patients with multiple sclerosis that focus on remyelination.
"It is humbling to lead such a unique groundbreaking effort and that Wayne State University is one of the few centers in the world that are participating in this next true generation translational research," he said. "The patients are observed over night at Harper University Hospital, which has been a great partner in facilitating this research endeavor."
Multiple sclerosis affects more than 500,000 people (or one in 600) in the U.S. and more than 2 million worldwide. After trauma, it is the most common cause of disability in young adults. While there is no cure, several treatments are approved for the relapsing form of multiple sclerosis that reduces the frequency of flare-ups and slows disease progression.
