Students at OC are encouraged to discuss these prestigious, nationally-competitive scholarship programs with their Honors Advisor and/or their Major Advisor. Please review the National Scholarships and Fellowships Guidelines.
The partial list below illustrates the range of programs, each of which will have specific eligibility requirements, deadlines, and other preparation, so we encourage you to begin planning your application early.
Symposium will address this topic each year, but Honors Faculty urge students to bring questions about these processes to their advisement sessions. Most OC Honors students should carefully consider making application to one national scholarship or fellowship as well as to one CCCU program.
Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship is a highly competitive, merit-based award offered to college juniors and seniors preparing for a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. To be considered, a student must be nominated by his or her college or university using the official nomination materials provided to each institution.
Gates Cambridge Scholarships are awarded to outstanding students from outside the UK to study at the University of Cambridge. The program aims to build a global network of future leaders committed to improving the lives of others.
George J. Mitchell Scholarship
The Mitchell Scholars Program is a national competitive fellowship sponsored by the US-Ireland Alliance. The Mitchell Scholars Program, named to honor former U.S. Senator George Mitchell's pivotal contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process, is designed to introduce and connect generations of future American leaders to the island of Ireland, while recognizing and fostering intellectual achievement, leadership, and a commitment to public service and community. Up to twelve Mitchell Scholars between the ages of 18 and 30 are chosen annually for one year of postgraduate study in any discipline offered by institutions of higher learning in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Applicants are judged on three criteria: academic excellence, leadership, and a sustained commitment to service and community. The Mitchell Scholars Program provides tuition, housing, a living expenses stipend, and an international travel stipend.
The mission of the Truman Scholarship Foundation is:
- to find and recognize college juniors with exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in the public service; and
- to provide them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service
Annual awards for Oklahoma residents who are undergraduate students enrolled full-time at an approved postsecondary institution in Oklahoma. Students must demonstrate academic achievement and be pursuing a career in public service. Due date and number of awards may vary. Nonrenewable.
The Fulbright Fellowship Program provides U.S. citizens and Czech citizens - selected for their academic merit and abilities - an opportunity to study, teach, or research in the Czech Republic and in the United States. The main aim of the Fulbright Program in the Czech Republic is to increase understanding between the people of the United States and the Czech Republic through educational exchanges that allow an exchange of thoughts, opinions and mutual knowledge about cultures and institutions.
Fulbright English Teaching Assistants
The flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Government, widely known as the Fulbright Program, is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided approximately 294,000 participants chosen for their academic and leadership potential with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Currently, the Fulbright Program operates in over 155 countries worldwide.
Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Up to forty Scholars are selected each year to study at graduate level at an UK institution in any field of study. As future leaders, with a lasting understanding of British society, Marshall Scholars strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments and their institutions. Marshall Scholars are talented, independent and wide-ranging, and their time as Scholars enhances their intellectual and personal growth. Their direct engagement with Britain through its best academic programs contributes to their ultimate personal success.
David L. Boren Scholarship and Fellowship
Boren Scholarships provide up to $20,000 to U.S. undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are critical to U.S. interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin American, and the Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded. Boren Scholars represent a variety of academic backgrounds, but all are interested in studying less commonly taught languages, including but not limited to Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Swahili. Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education Program (NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study deemed critical to U.S. national security.
Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship
Paul and Daisy Soros, Hungarian immigrants and American philanthropists, established their fellowship program for New Americans in December 1997 with a charitable trust of fifty million dollars. Their reasons for doing so were several. They wished to "give back" to the country that had afforded them and their children such great opportunities and felt a fellowship program was an appropriate vehicle. They also felt that assisting young New Americans at a critical point in their education was an unmet need. Finally, they wished to signal to all Americans that the contributions of New Americans to the quality of life in this country have been manifold.
The Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest international fellowships, were initiated after the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, and bring outstanding students from many countries around the world to the University of Oxford. The first American Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.
The Harvey Fellows Program provides scholarships to Christian students who are pursuing graduate studies at premier universities in fields considered to be underrepresented by Christians and who possess a unique vision to impact society through their vocations.
Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship
The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. The program sponsors academic year scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host country.
In 2012, the Foundation expects to award 80 scholarships of up to $5000 and 50 honorable mentions of $350 to sophomore and junior level college students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care.
Scholarships are offered in any of three categories:
- To students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to the environment; or
- To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to tribal public policy; or
- To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to Native health care.
The Udall Foundation seeks future leaders across a wide spectrum of environmental fields, including policy, engineering, science, education, urban planning and renewal, business, health, justice, and economics.
Oxford Clarendon Press Scholarship
Scholarships are awarded to academically excellent students with the best proven and future potential. Clarendon Scholarships are highly competitive, with less than 10% of applicants selected for the scholarship. Scholarships cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for living expenses, and are open to students starting a new course at Oxford.
National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship
The National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) helps ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science and engineering in the United States and reinforces its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions. The NSF welcomes applications from all qualified students and strongly encourages under-represented populations, including women, under-represented racial and ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities, to apply for this fellowship.
The Fleming Scholar Program was founded in 1956 as a way to give Oklahoma's high school and college students "hands-on" biomedical research experience. The program is named for Sir Alexander Fleming, the famed British scientist, who discovered penicillin and in 1949 came to Oklahoma City to formally dedicate the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation's first building. In the first news release about the program in 1956, the late Dean A. McGee, then Chairman of the Board of Directors' Executive Committee, expressed the philosophy behind the program:
The Foundation supports a wide range of initiatives to strengthen the institutions that sustain scholarship in the humanities and "humanistic" social sciences, primarily research universities but also a small number of centers for advanced study and independent research libraries. Particular emphases in this area include (but are not limited to) doctoral education, postdoctoral fellowships, faculty research, and discipline-related projects. On occasion the Foundation has underwritten research on higher education.
The Pickering Fellowships are funded by the U.S. State Department and administered by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. The Pickering Undergraduate Foreign Affairs Fellowship seeks to recruit talented students in academic programs relevant to international affairs, political and economic analysis, administration, management, and science policy. The goal is to attract outstanding students from all ethnic, racial, and social backgrounds, who have an interest in pursuing a Foreign Service career in the U.S. Department of State. The Program develops a source of trained men and women from academic disciplines representing the skill needs of the Department, who are dedicated to representing America's interests abroad. The fellowships are open to students who are in their sophomore year of undergraduate studies and are United States citizens at the time of application. Participating graduate schools provide financial support in the second year of graduate study, based on need.
The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship, a competitive national program that provides college graduates the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with one of twenty-six participating public-interest organizations focusing on international security issues. The program has awarded over 128 fellowships since its inception in 1987 and is offered twice yearly, in the spring and fall. It lasts from six to nine months and provides a stipend, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington. Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research, writing, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional hearings. Fellows have written articles, blogs, fact sheets, letters to the editor, op-eds and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been interviewed as experts by the media. Many former Scoville Fellows work for U.S. and international NGOs, the Departments of State and Defense, members of Congress and academia, or attend graduate school in political science or international relations, following their fellowships.
Trinity Forum Academy Fellowships
Each year the Academy grants twelve fellowships to rising young leaders from a wide range of academic and professional fields to live and study at Osprey Point. The Academy offers a rigorous curriculum of theology and cultural studies in the context of community to challenge Fellows to live their whole lives as an answer to God's call.

THE JOHN JAY INSTITUTE is seeking applicants for post-undergraduate fellowships to explore the spiritual, intellectual, and professional dimensions of public service.
College graduates with academic interests in theology, society, politics, and law are invited to apply at http://www.johnjayinstitute.org/index.cfm?get=get.howtoapply . The fellowship program is especially suited for career aspirants in the fields of religion, law, public and international affairs, issue advocacy, social service, journalism, and education. Designed as a "gap year" experience, the fellowship begins with a semester-long academic residency in Philadelphia. Our campus is "the Metropolis of the American founding" and includes: Independence Hall, Congress Hall, Carpenters' Hall, the original Supreme Court, the First and Second Banks of the United States, and even the prison that inspired Tocqueville to visit and study the United States and write his classic Democracy in America. After the residency our fellows participate in a practical internship in a national or international government agency or non-governmental organization the following semester.
The Oklahoma Newspaper Foundation is the charitable affiliate of the Oklahoma Press Association. It will award a minimum of 25 eight-week paid internships at a daily or weekly newspaper that is a member of the Oklahoma Press Association. This program will promote the value of working at Oklahoma newspapers and benefit students as they begin their professional careers.

Dear Mr. Dad: My eight-year old daughter's best friend—a girl she's known since kindergarten—just moved out of the area. My daughter doesn't make friends very easily—she's always had a small number of pretty intense friendships—and she seems particularly devastated that this girl is leaving town. I'm worried about her. Is there anything I can do to make her feel better?
A: Losing a friend—whether because of a physical separation or a relationship-ending disagreement—is usually a major event in a child's life. Unfortunately, though, too few parents take these breakups seriously enough, and may try to comfort a child with a well-meaning but flip, "Don't worry, you'll find another friend" or "You can always email each other." I'm glad you're taking your daughter's loss more seriously.
The truth is that children at this age make very deep emotional attachments to their friends, and although losing friends is a normal part of growing up, friends are not interchangeable. Parents need to encourage children to explore and understand why a friendship ended (although in this case, it's pretty clear—at least to you). Otherwise, "they can end up blaming themselves, and that self-blame may make them wary of forming new friendships in the future," says psychotherapist Mary Lamia. Reassuring your daughter that she's in no way to blame for her friend moving, may help.
On the other hand, as irrational as it seems to most adults, your daughter may be very angry at her friend for leaving. So if you have any suspicion that she's blaming her friend, it's important that you gently encourage her to forgive. "Hurt feelings, disappointment, and transgressions are an inevitable part of close friendship," says Lamia.
You're absolutely right to be concerned about your daughter's reactions. "Children often compare potential new friends to the old one," says Lamia. "And usually, the new ones can't compare." You may need to remind your daughter that establishing a friendship often takes time. Encourage her to talk about the feelings and emotions she's experiencing, and let her know that you understand how hard it can be to lose a friend, and that being sad, angry, and hurt is perfectly normal.
At the end of the day, your daughter will be okay, Although it comes naturally to some, for others, making friends is very difficult. And since your daughter values quality over quantity (and that's just fine—as long as the quantity isn't zero), it may take her longer than you think to move on. If she's still down in the dumps in a few weeks, talk to her pediatrician about getting her some counseling.
In the meantime, here are seven characteristics that researchers believe (and common sense confirms) are critical to forming long-lasting, healthy friendships:
- Friends share—anything from toys to secrets.
- Friends help each other. This might mean anything from helping a fellow preschooler look for a lost doll to helping a fellow twelve-year-old deal with the death of a parent.
- Friends forgive. This is easy enough for a toddler, a little harder for school-age kids, and pretty tough for pre-adolescents.
- Friends manage their conflicts. Everyone has fights once in a while, but friends are willing to spend the time it takes to work things out.
- Friends are active participants in maintaining the relationship and don't just wait for the others to call.
- Friends want the chance to be open and frank with someone who is open and frank with them.
- Friends keep each other's confidences and stick up for each other.

IN SEARCH OF THE SUN Sage Landry as Inook, with a mask by Monica Morrison.
Many of us here in Maine are guilty of having at one time or another harangued the forces of spring to hurry it up already, are guilty of cold-month mopery or worse. Imagine, then, living in the Arctic, where the winter is far darker for far longer, and the sun that much more precious. It's in this extreme and archetypal setting that one cold and hungry young Inuit man does more than just offhandedly harangue the elements — he strides off to forcibly take the sun back all by himself.
Thus the quest at the heart of Henry Beissel's Inook and the Sun, a mythic journey in which young Inook (Sage Landry), representing humanity writ large, first struggles against nature, then comes to accept that he is not, after all, at its center. Director Assunta Kent's elaborate production of this simple, primal tale, by the University of Southern Maine's Department of Theatre, includes, among other things, multi-media shadow-puppetry, an eight-person-manned Sea Monster, and Moon and Wind spirits (Ryan Nash and Simon Skold) climbing on suspended cables.
A composer and a slew of designers — particularly those overseeing scenic, costume, lighting, sound, and puppet design — have been very busy in crafting for this show: Set designer Perry Fertig has created a vast sheathing of white over the proscenium and lower thrust, with pale folds of fabric nicely evoking snowdrift; on his journey Inook encounters several strikingly devised characters: Sea goddess Sedna (Desiray Roy) is wrapped in netting and bits of sea detritus; a fabulous gaping polar bear is three actors wide; the musk ox's big snout (made to flap by the puppeteer Hunter Jandreau's arms) is shaggy with fringe (animals were designed by Travis Grant). The massive Sea Monster (designed by Hannah Brown) is on wheels and sports six long tentacles, each manned in sibilant fashion by a puppeteer clear across the stage (a great and extravagant conception, though shorter lengths might have allowed for fuller undulations; as it is, it's only the very end of the tentacles that get the most visible play).
Music and sound range from synthesized strings and whale-ish sounding underwater dissonance to Jim Alberty's wide-ranging compositions — on the one end, the native-influenced drums and chanting of Inook; on the other, the sweet Andrews Sisters harmonies of the giggling girl-seals (Katelyn Smith, Ashley Rood, and Laura Collard).
If the scope of influences sometimes makes the show feel diffuse, it also lets it hit a little closer to our mashed-up modern sensibility. Overall, however, I often found myself most drawn to the simplest design elements — the stiff white folds of fabric catching or illuminated from within by Shannon Zura's fine and varied lighting (her clear glacial blues are lovely); the stark and playful shadow-puppets of Inook against a pure white rectangle of projected light (by August Delisle); Inook's rough and expressionless mask (by Monica Morrison).

I just plan on throwing on the Vader helmet and taking out my Vader F/X saber. I'm not gonna do a whole big costume this year.
May the force be with you.
I'm going to do something my dad does when he needs a costume, full Boy Scout uniform. Shirt with my youth patches and awards, merit badge sash, OA sash, pants, belt, hat and even socks (I'll have to barrow a pair). Some additional items will be a swiss army knife, hiking boots, flashlight, maybe compass and maybe some rope. The hat is only a ball cap, not the campaign hat (Smoky the Bear hat). Those are like 90 buck plus another 5 for the pin. It should just blow the folks at the party I'm going to away. The only pain is going to be sewing on the 6 patches I need.

Today is a good day. Why? Because it's friday. What this actually means, of course, is that I'll spend all of the next two days catching up on assignments for comp sci and physics that I haven't been doing, and on studying for elec eng stuff.
I also need to work on waking up - this has been a major weakness of mine recently, to the point where I've managed to make it to 2 lectures in the last three days. Next week I'll do better, promise.
Spent some time with the pain of windows again, updating the vorbis example (en|de)coder to work with windows, and misc. bug fixing. We've got a good variety of players too, now - freeamp, xmms, winamp, and at least 4 others.
Also got mid-semester test results back today - did pretty well on physics (thermodynamics), and passed the elec eng one by a reasonable amount (which was a relief).
Now I go to pick up some yummy takeaway chicken (mmm... foooood.....), and then in an hour or so I get to meet a Nobel prize winner (something I've never done before).

July 19, 2011
It's going to be an interesting two weeks. Mary and I are moving in August. I have to get things for the high school summer camp. I started The Weekly Muse, and I'm getting ready to get a podcast up and running once I figure out the software. In the meantime, expect articles on time and general weirdness on the Facebook page and the Twitter feed.
And now, on to the randomness!
- Who are the most violent people in the world? The answer might surprise you.
- That being said, the next time someone tells me that video games make people violent, I'd like to remind them about the other violent pastime our country actually ENCOURAGES.
- Does writing make you smarter? Yes. Does writing by hand with pen and paper, old school gangsta style, make you even SMARTER? Oh yes. Told you so!
- How bad is Palin's new movie? Only three people went to the premier in Orange County. And they were reporters who HAD to be there.
- Just in time for the final installment of Harry Potter, here are a few alcoholic drinks you can make at home. I'm actually curious about the butter beer…
- A friend of mine got this security question… How the hell do you answer that?!
- Herman Cain, a man who has whined about race more times than anyone in recent memory, now claims it should be legal to ban mosques from being built. His rationale? Islam combines government and religion and is therefore illegal. By that reasoning, his party's insistence on combining the Bible of law would make THEM illegal.
- Speaking of Islam, here is a wonderful example of how you DON'T champion women's rights or fight for equality. First, you need to make sure you understand what you're fighting against. Trust me. It's a wonderful little read.
- I've been waiting for a new Red Hot Chili Peppers album… and here's the first song! And contrary to what a friend believes, I think they sound just as good now as they did back in their druggie days.
- The Thing stands as one of the great horror films of the 80's a truly disturbing movie where anyone could be the enemy. The paranoia made it awesome. That being said, and given my caution when it comes to sequels or remakes of classic works, I'm actually a little optimistic about the prequel, strangely also titled The Thing. Here's the first trailer, and let's hope it doesn't suck.
- Rebecca Black is coming back. And I think I just gave them a slogan. D'oh!
- The new photos from the reboot of Spiderman have me thinking that they might actually know what they're doing. Spidey looks, well, like he does in the comic. The costume changes are odd, but at least they have web shooters!
- And finally… some of you already saw this, but here's the official, cleaned-up version of the first teaser for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Please, dear gods of the four winds, do not let this get threequel rot. I will hunt people down with a fork.

The Street today is mulling Intel's (INTC) announcement yesterday morning that it will introduce its "C2000″ series of chips based on "Atom" microprocessor cores for power-efficient server computers, as well as its intention to bring server chips with 14-nanometer feature sizes and a brand new server "system on a chip."
Much of the announcement involved discussion of cloud computing, the proliferation of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, and the rise of so-called micro-servers, which are purpose-built servers that can be very energy efficient when clustered in racks of equipment in data centers. The announcement featured a gaggle of code names, including "Avoton" and "Rangely," forthcoming Atom server chips using the "Silvermont" CPU technology Intel debuted earlier this year. There is also "Broadwell," the next family of "Xeon" server chips after the current Haswell-based parts.
Intel shares are up 15 cents, or 0.7%, at $22.92. The announcement follows a similar presentation by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) three weeks ago about its own server chip roadmap. AMD shares today are down 19 cents, or 5%, at $3.71.
David Wong of Wells Fargo, who has an Outperform rating on Intel shares, and a $28 to $33 "valuation range," points out that rather than just sell chips, the company "is now planning to re-architect networks by taking fixed manual hardware defined environments and converting them to flexible automated software defined environments."
He also notes Intel's broadening ambition, involving not just data center servers but also wireless base station equipment:
Intel's comments about adding intelligence to the edge of the network echoed a Bloomberg article from July 15th in which Intel stated that it is preparing trials with Nokia Siemens Networks Oy and SK Telecom Co. that are aimed at deploying server chips into base stations to ease mobile data congestion.
Doug Freedman of RBC Capital Markets reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares as well, writing that "Broadcom (BRCM), Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), Inphi (IPHI), are tangentially impacted by Intel's efforts."
He also thinks sees Intel's technology having broad implications for commoditizing certain chips and hardware:
Intel's effort in networking should allow easier and lower cost network operations for both big and small organizations, with a small slice of value being extracted from the switch and network ASIC and FPGA market. It could also create some commoditization of switch and network hardware as interoperability and management improves. While at the same time increasing bandwidth demand as investment ROI improves.
And Freedman sees Intel breaking apart the current monolithic model of storage equipment:
Intel is moving to storage as a service with app based calls for needed storage. Storage as a service will include mix of needed hot, warm and cold needs for the application. Previously, it took 4 hours to sort 1TB of data, with SSD and 10Gb network can now be done in 7min. New server rack will move from memory, IO and processor per box, to a new configuration with rack level memory, IO and processing. The applications will select what's needed from the rack. In our view, the next step will be when interconnect and IO increases to the point that full racks will be uniquely memory, IO or processing. Today's description of the data center shows that within the rack, back plane speeds have gotten the data rate to the point where the distance between the functional blocks can be psychically moved further apart without introducing unacceptable latency.
JMP Securities's Alex Gauna reiterates a Market Perform rating today, writing that "The highlight of the event was Intel announcing a Broadwell SoC (System on Chip) that represents a first for the high-performance Xeon architecture in terms of integrating I/O, networking fabric, and storage accelerators, although technical details and production timelines were too vague for us to draw any concrete conclusions that may impact the financial model."
Gauna is intrigued by Intel's work increasingly supporting Facebook (FB) and other large Web companies, versus the traditional sales into server makers such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ):
In addition to the introduction of Broadwell SoC, Intel also confirmed that it is making customized microprocessors for Cloud service providers like Facebook (FB) and eBay (EBAY). While this is not new news, Intel custom work for Facebook goes as far back as 2009, it does signal the shift from having to cater to traditional big-name server OEMs like HP and IBM (IBM), to answering more to cloud service provider / end customers like Facebook and further emphasizes the rising importance of lower-power, lower-cost, and application optimized server solutions like that offered by SoCs.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
So, wave 8 consists of the 12 Revenge of the Jedi figures and exists in two case assortments (though Ackbar doesn't ship until this wave, and the only "new" figure there is the Rebel Commando with the different head). This means that the only new figures in this wave are Ponda Baba, Bastila Shan, and the Echo Base Trooper, which is a little disappointing since Darth Maul and Jar Jar were rumored to join them. Now I have to wonder what happened to the wave that was supposed to come before this one at Toy Fair, which had Aayla Secura, 501st Trooper, Dr. Evazan, Kithaba, and Nom Anor. Hopefully they just got rearranged. And I really hope we don't have to wait until October for waves 8 and 9 to ship.
I am really worried that new figures will get harder and harder to find as they keep shipping figures the collectors already bought. I really think the Vintage collection should be all new figures, not repacks on a vintage card and not the same figures over and over. I think it should be a collector line and if you miss a wave you better head to Ebay or hope it shows up in the Legacy line. That's just me.
I agree with Droid in part. I am not buying any repacked figures and the whole "Revenge" card scheme is completely lost on me. I differ in that, as an army builder, I do not mind carrying forward the trooper figures like the RFT to give people a better chance of finding the figures they want.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo

First I want to thank all the readers of the blog and listeners of the podcast for having the confidence in me or at valuing my opinion.
The reason I write this is because over the last year or so emails flood my inbox asking questions, giving me feed back, and asking for my opinion.
I would like to share an email from a reader regarding the merit badge program.
We are having a debate in our troop about how to do merit badges. We used to do merit badge classes during troop meetings, and lots of the guys got lots of the badges. Some on our committee want to do this again.
When I became scoutmaster a year and a half ago, I de-emphasised merit badges in troop meetings. I saw that different scouts needed different badges, and did not want to fragment our meeting time. Half of the scouts might need communications, for example, and half already had it. We have one meeting room, and so doing something with the half who did not need the badge was difficult. I told the boys to follow the handbook and do the badges outside of the troop meeting. I even showed a video from youtube about doing this.
We got the practice from a former scoutmaster who was a scout in one of our councils huge troops (100+) where it kind of made sense to do merit badge classes in troop meetings. Our troop of 16 boys is kind of small to make it practical. I have told the SPL that if he and the other patrol leaders want to do this, then they had to put it together. They did once, offering Railroading merit badge over two meeting nights, with the scouts being required to do the field work on their own.
Now, some committee members want the troop to do an eagle required merit badge per month as part of troop meetings to give more scouts the opportunity to reach Eagle rank. I am not keen on the idea. I think our time would be better spent promoting the patrol method, which is something that has not caught on, and is one of my goals for the troop this year.
Would you give this subject some thought and perhaps do a podcast show on it. I would very much like to know how you do things, and what your view of the merit badge program is. I can always find opponents and proponents of the practice.
As you always admonish, have a great scouting day.
And so here is my response:
Having said that, I will share my thoughts, and certainly will make notes to do a podcast on Merit Badges in the meeting place.
The Short answer is NO.. we do not do Merit badges in the meeting place.
The outline of the Merit Badge program is not intended for every Scout to get every Merit Badge. It's intent is to open opportunities to the Scouts, show career choices, hobbies, and outdoor skills and adventures.
The program also REQUIRES the Scout to be the spark to get the flame hot.
It states on page 187 of the Boy Scout handbook (current edition) "When you [the scout] have decided on a merit badge you would like to earn, following these steps:
Obtain from your Scoutmaster a signed merit badge application [blue card] and the name of a qualified counselor for that merit badge.
Along with another Scout, a relative, or a friend, set up and attend your first appointment with the merit badge counselor. The counselor will explain the requirements for the badge and help you plan way to fulfill them so that you can get the most out of the experience.
Complete the requirements, meeting with your counselor whenever necessary until you have finished working the badge."
On page 14… which I highly recommend your committee review it states; " The merit badge program provides you [the scout] the opportunity to meet and work with adult leaders in your community. It also introduces you to potential new hobbies and vocations."
When we turn our Troop meetings into Merit Badge Mills, we take away from the program. I understand the want of parents to give their Scout the very best opportunity to become an Eagle Scout. But as the program outlines, advancement is an individual effort. The rate of advancement is dictated by the Scout and it depends on the Scouts interest, effort, and ability. The opportunity for earning Merit Badges exists in the normal course of the program year. You need not take away the opportunity of the Scouts development of the other methods for the sake of a badge.
I have seen troops in our District that exercise the "Mill plan" A merit badge a month or a week in some cases. Here is what I have found.First. The Scouts do not learn anything. They show up and get the badge. Counselors (like at Summer Camp) give the badge to who ever shows up for the class. That is also why I shy away from the "Merit Badge Weekends or Merit badge Universities.
Third. We take away the adult interaction and the asking that the Scout take on responsibility for his advancement.While I thank the committee for their dedication to the Scouts and providing "opportunities" in the long run it breaks down the programs intent of Citizenship training, Character development, and Fitness.
I hope that helps, and yes.. I will be doing a show on this issue.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

General Choi 1918 2002
Dear Students of Taekwon-Do,
As I reflect on the anniversary of the death of my father, I am reminded of all that he has taught me and the legacy he has left us.
I am presently in Argentina completing seminars where I am teaching and living his legacy. Through his patterns which embody his thoughts and philosophy, he lives within me and all of us every day.
We should all be thankful to him for leaving this wonderful gift for all of us to enjoy and teach to future generations.
I heard him say many times that he was leaving Taekwon-Do for all humanity. We should all be proud and remember him as the father of Taekwon-do as we reflect on his life on, this, the sixth anniversary of his death.
We are all his children and part of the Taekwon-do family, as such, the greatest honour we can bestow on him is to continue his work in the purest way possible, the way he meant it to be through the practice of the martial art as martial artists.
I ask all of you to remember Gen. Choi through your practice of the patterns he taught us. Reflect upon his life and live the way he demanded us to live, pure of heart, relentless in our pursuit of our tenets. Taekwon!
Master Choi Jung Hwa

Good news for metastatic colorectal cancer patients - Alchemia recruits full patient quota to pivotal phase III HA-Irinotecan trial
Singapore: Brisbane-based R&D company Alchemia has recruited the 390th patient for the pivotal phase III clinical trial of its lead cancer drug, HA-Irinotecan, as per its study protocol. As of January 31, 2013, 390 patients had been recruited at 76 sites in Australia, Eastern and Western Europe, since the study began in January 2012. Key vendors assisting the Alchemia team with the trial, include CNF Pharma, US; Practical Clinical, Canada; and PSI CRO, Switzerland. Australian trial sites are managed by Novotech.
The final stage study compares the safety and efficacy of Alchemia's proprietary HyACT technology in combination with standard chemotherapy drug irinotecan (HA-Irinotecan) against irinotecan alone in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.
The double blind trial is being conducted in second and third line mCRC patients when administered as part of the Folfiri regimen. The study's primary objective is to demonstrate that HA-Irinotecan is superior, as indicated by an increase in progression-free survival (PFS) of six weeks or more.
Alchemia's CSO, Ms Tracey Brown, said that, "Successful completion of patient recruitment to Alchemia's pivotal phase III clinical trial in just over 12 months is a credit to Alchemia's clinical team, which has worked tirelessly to execute this trial within the tight timeline and budget. I would like to specially thank PSI CRO who are our lead contract research organisation and Practical Clinical, our Canadian-based clinical consultants, and our site staff and patients, whose combined efforts resulted in the rapid recruitment of this study."
The phase III protocol includes an 80-patient substudy being performed at selected study sites, to investigate the pharmacokinetic and cardiotoxicity of HA-Irinotecan. This substudy is optional and currently has 53 patients enrolled. To improve recruitment to this substudy, as well as to increase the power of the overall study, the company has determined that it will hold recruitment open to a further 20 patients, bringing the total number of patients on the trial to 410. The addition of these patients does not affect the timing of the clinical trial endpoint where the PFS will still be reported in the first half of 2014.

Details of Hollywood Undead and the Ticket Luck value
The goalie-masked Hollywood Undead is an emerging rap rock rage from Los Angeles. This band was formed in 2005 and they seized their fame from My Space by uploading their songs. The band members include Charlie Scene, Da Kurlzz, Deuce, Funny Man Johnny 3 Tears and J-Dog. Shady Jeff was also a significant member of the band at the time of origination but later he left them leaving behind the current members. Charlie Scene in the band is the lyrical genius and has also directed the new video of "everywhere I go". J Dog is the sweet talker in the songs while Da Kurlzz is the loud voice. The lead singer of the band is Deuce. Funny man and Johny 3 Tears are the African baritone and the server respectively.
The musical inspiration of the group includes Brassknuckles Bud Ice, HOLLYWOOD California, Cahuenga blvd, Camo, Cigarettes, Designer Jeans Mickey's 40's, Freestyling, Hibbidy Hop, HXC, OUR FANS, Pro Tools, partying, Riding Bikes Drunk, Subway Sandwiches, Shitty Society, Sidekicks, Tattoo's And The Powerhouse. Their musical tone is dominated with metallic rock and rap core incorporating strong beating drums, piano and electric guitars. Their vocals is combination of sounds integrate rap with rock and sweet pop tone using combating qualities as a way of expression. The subject matter of their music connotes towards the destructive drive, unrest and emptiness of life. Their music is for the youth who can connect with their anger and their songs serve as an outlet. The band does not restrict itself to one genre and always believes in experimenting.
The Hollywood Undead's song "the kids" was their claim to fame in 2005. The band members Deuce and J-Dog posted it on their MySpace profile. In weeks their song became a rage on MySpace with millions of hits and soon they became the top unsigned artists on MySpace. In 2008 Virgin Mobile Festival was their debutant live performance after winning around 3 million of votes in book the band contest against four contemporary bands.
In 2008 Hollywood Undead released their first album entitled as "The Swans Songs". The name of the album refers to the last song swan sings before she dies and the name is an ironical connotation to their first album. Their album featured tracks like Undead, Sell Your Soul, Everywhere I Go, No Other Place, No. 5, Young, My Black Dahlia, This Love, This Hate, Bottle and a Gun, California, City, The Diary, Pimpin and Paradise Lost. Along with these tracks special edition featured bonus tracks as well. The music videos of Undead, Young, No.5 and Everywhere I Go are already released and the album sold over 21,000 copies in its first week. Madden NFL 09 soundtrack and UFC 2009 Undisputed incorporates the swan songs' second single Undead in it. The Stephen Sommer's live-action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra also uses instrumental version of Undead in their promo. Their song "Young" is featured as background score of an Xbox game Velvet Assassin.
The band created their musical album one year, while it took them two years to find a recording company. They had to work hard to find a company that would release their songs uncensored and finally they found A&M/Octone Records. The album stayed for many weeks in the Billboard 200 by hitting a spot in the first week of the release.
The Band has later on released Swan Songs B-Sides EP through iTunes and is touring various regions including Japan, Europe, UK and US. The band is also performing with great artists like Linkin Park and Tools. The Vatos Locos Tour is also an exciting event coming forward.

I want to buy use the cheapest ever rubber track source to make my treaded robot. Will cycle tires work? But I want small.
You really don't have many options; there are rubber track manufacturers, but they are generally meant for heavy equipment and even the smallest would be too large for your needs (ie, small ride-on excavators and dozers). Another possibility, but still likely too large, are tracks meant for snowmobiles (also called snow machines).
haha 599$ is cheap for you? never thought of that.

While West Bank jewish settlements remains a contentious issue in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, the Irish Times is exploiting the issue to make unfounded claims that the settlements are to blame for Palestinian infighting. In an article titled, "Israeli Settlements Squeezing Out Christians and Muslims," the paper even goes so far as to claim that Israel's policies are specifically aimed at increasing hostilities between the two groups.
Quoting a Palestinian named George Rishmawi, an official at the Palestinian Centre for Rapprochement, Irish Times reporter Michael Jansen writes:
"Christians are part of the Palestinian social fabric . . . and of Islamic culture. Palestinians do not differentiate between Muslims and Christians – who are less than 2 per cent of the population," says Mr Rishmawi.
But Israel makes a key distinction designed to cause animosities.
"It grants West Bank Christians permits to travel to Jerusalem for Christian holidays . . . It is not the same for Muslims. For them it is difficult to get permits. This makes Muslims angry at Christians," Mr Rishmawi adds.
It is absurd to suggest that Israel is deliberately sowing discord among the Palestinians by granting access to holy sites to Christians. Amazingly, it is Jansen, not his Palestinian source – whose words appear in quotes – who says the policies are "designed" to harm relations.
Jansen also blames Israel for the flight of Christians from Palestinian cities.
Israeli settlements and infrastructure are changing Palestinian demographics in formerly Christian towns. "Bethlehem is 50 per cent Christian, [neighbouring] Beit Sahour is 80 per cent Christian and Beit Jala is 60-70 per cent Christian," says Mr Rishmawi.
These three towns have had an influx of Muslims displaced from Bethlehem district villages and of refugees dating to Israel's establishment in 1948. Ramallah, once a Christian town, now has an overwhelming Muslim majority.
What Jansen conveniently ignores is the mass of information regarding Muslim intimidation of Christians, which is the real reason Christians are leaving in high numbers. Jansen notes that Christians were "displaced" but fails to note that Muslims were the ones driving them out:
As recently as 2005, Palestinian Muslims carried out a pogrom against Christians in city of Taibe after a Muslim woman had a relationship with a Christian man from the village.
Just last year, Muslims desecrated a Christian cementary, demonstrating that tensions remain high between the two groups.
Bethlehem Christians forced to shut down businesses after failing to pay "protection" money to local Muslims.
Intimidation of the Christian media
Christians frozen out of the Palestinian political process
Only yesterday, the Los Angeles Times noted the current situation in Taibe:
The population of Taibe dropped from 15,000 to about 2,000 in recent decades as residents left in search of safer, more prosperous lives in the U.S. and other countries.
At times, Palestinian Christians have also faced harassment from the Muslim majority. Churches have been burned in Gaza. On the eve of last year's Oktoberfest, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the mayor's empty car. No arrests were made, but many in Taibe suspected Muslim extremists were behind the attack.
Jansen also ignores Palestinian political considerations in the redrawing of municipal borders of many Christian cities. Justus Reid Weiner, an expert on the treatment of Christians in Palestinian-controlled areas, explained Yasser Arafat redrew the city's borders in order to marginalize what was then the largest Christian community:
After the PA gained control of Bethlehem it redistricted the municipal boundaries of the city. Arafat's motivation for the change was to ensure a Muslim majority in any elections to be held in the area. By doing so, he annexed an additional thirty thousand Muslims and a few thousand Muslim Bedouins in adjacent areas. This, combined with substantial Muslim immigration from the nearby city of Hebron, dramatically transformed the demographic reality.
These facts, however, would interfere with Jansen's misleading narrative of peace and love between Christians and Muslims, disturbed only by the Israelis whose policy objective is little more than to harm the Palestinians. Of course, if he truly cared about Palestinian Chrisitians, he would look at the root of their problems and offer solutions rather than simply demonizing Israel.

Easy enough to make for a weeknight meal or a friendly Oktoberfest gathering. Bring on the beer and the oompah band!
These sandwiches cry out for a good garlic dill pickle, purchased German potato salad or crunchy potato chips and a side of deli slaw.
To make this a portable potluck sandwich, stir the sliced beef into the sauerkraut. Place the dressing in a squeeze bottle (like for ketchup), and set out a basket of rye buns and smaller slices of Swiss cheese to make it easy for guests to make their own sandwiches.
Need a hearty party snack? Build the sandwiches on slices of party rye for a three-bite treat.

I guess I'm guilty of selective memory,,,,,,,,,,,,,I only remember the good times field trialing. Totally forgetting about all those long rides home thinking about the Could've, Would've, and Should haves.
At the end of the day it's all good. Nothing like standing at the line in the fourth......Other than the select few that have gone to line in the 10th.
Earl, I can't even imagine having a dog break 8 times in a row......I'd be suicidal.
Lucky Seven, Don't worry, that won't happen again....I thought I could bore her with fliers....I was WRONG
One last thought: When I was thinking about buying a boat one of the experienced boaters I spoke to said...." If your idea of fun is taking a cold shower and ripping up $100 bills buy a boat"
I think that may apply to dog games too....
Thanks for listening,

As the development agenda beyond 2015 takes shape, it is increasingly being recognized that inequality is an impediment to the integration of economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. Despite high and enduring economic growth and significant progress in terms of poverty eradication, inequalities persist in Asia and the Pacific, and in some instances they have intensified, between women and men, girls and boys, urban and rural areas, and different age and ethnic groups.
The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of regional progress in implementing the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Survey data collected in 2013 from ESCAP countries, and publicly available data suggest that there has been progress in the past decade towards achieving the WSIS objectives. However, progress is incomplete, and in some instances the digital divide has actually increased as more advanced countries have surged ahead in implementation of WSIS objectives.
This Staff working paper explores potential synergies in deploying fiber optic cables for data transmission and other infrastructures, chiefly transport and energy. It provides information on the cost of deploying fibre optics, exploring potential win-win strategies in the co-deployment and cohabitation of fibre and transport infrastructure and drawing lessons from good practices in the Asia- Pacific region and beyond. It contains a set of key policy measures to maximize win-win outcomes, which include synergies with the Asian Highway and Trans-Asian Railway.
The Asian Highway database is a joint effort by the secretariat and member countries to monitor the development of the Asian Highway network. The Asian Highway database includes comprehensive and detailed data and information on Asian Highway routes in member countries and benchmarks their development status against the Asian Highway design standards stipulated in Annex II to the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Asian Highway Network.
Stats Brief, November 2014, Issue no. 02
Coal has been one of the fastest growing fuels since the beginning of the 21st century. Amongst its largest consumers are countries of North-East Asia, a vast and diverse sub-region which includes just six countries: China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Japan, Mongolia, the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation. Altogether, these countries consume approximately 60% of the coal produced worldwide.
This paper examines the agenda of this year's G20 Brisbane summit – namely, to promote strong economic growth and employment outcomes and to make the global economy more resilient to future shocks – in the context of key policy debates in the Asia-Pacific region and the discussions of the United Nations post-2015 development agenda. In particular, priority areas related to investment and infrastructure, trade, employment, financial inclusion and remittances, financial regulatory reforms, international tax cooperation and anti-corruption measures, and energy markets are explored.
An official statistician reading the proposal of the Open Working Group (OWG) for Sustainable Development Goals might have two simultaneous reactions: doubt and excitement. The proposal that the UN General Assembly's 30-member OWG forwarded to the Assembly on 19 July 2014 contains 17 goals with 169 targets covering a broad range of sustainable development issues, including ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, making cities more sustainable, combating climate change, and protecting oceans and forests.
This note reviews the emerging imbalances in the Chinese economy and the attendant need for structural reforms, including financial sector and services liberalization. The role that the recently launched Shanghai Free Trade Zone could play in accelerating these reforms is then considered, alongside an assessment of progress to date.
Bridging Transport, ICT and Energy Infrastructure Gaps for Seamless Regional Connectivity, is a contribution by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to deliberations at the Second United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) in Vienna, Austria, from 3 to 5 November 2014.

I myself know where I am sitting. I thought I'd check out one of the super resorts on the north Kona shore...the places that are tightly manicured, offer luxury accommodations, a full schedule of activities, a golf course and a private beach...private everything actually. I've been camping at some of the most beautiful campgrounds I could imagine...going to sleep and waking up each day to the sound of waves rhythmically reaching the shore, the water only steps away from my tent. I can't imagine anything more desirable. But of course I know that isn't for everyone...don't exactly know how one could resist such a set up but I know there are folks who'd rather be snugly inside a hotel room with a balcony outside their door over which to view the ocean....plus all the other amenities that go with the room including the beyond expensive price tag. So I want to get a feel for one of these places...maybe see if I'm missing anything...just curious. And I'm not going to carry on about which might be "better" or 'worse" than the other....not going to compare the two in any concrete way...because it would be all according to me and my needs /wishes....I'll leave all that analysis to the person making the choice....I can only know what's best for me.
But yesterday, as I walked along the shore of a remote stretch of land I passed some rather extravagant homes...apparently one was the home (it really looked more like a compound) of the brain behind the pacemaker, another the home (or one of the homes) of Paul Mitchell, the hairstylist....these were large luxuriant expansive living quarters. But right along side them I also passed a surfers shack...boards stacked in the front room, which appeared to be the kitchen - an open air kitchen - and all sorts of ocean paraphernalia such as nets, buoys and the like which seemed to have been collected over a long period of time and were lovingly arranged around the shack. I also passed simpler abodes...you don't need much shelter to live here...some people were long term camping in unauthorized places, or just living out of their vehicle. But whatever the living situation, all of the residents shared the same view, of ocean, of sunset, and perhaps of playful dolphins or sea turtles popping their heads above the water or beaching in the sun.
So what am I trying to say here? Just sharing some musings really...but as I sit at Mauna Lani, on a richly padded lounge chair pretending to have the key to a room in the hotel and on some level, ready and waiting to be discovered as an imposter and ejected from the resort grounds, I see this sea turtle and recognize that s/he is unaware of whose shore s/he now rests, of the status of anyone who might observe her. And there seems to be something really significant in that for me....

North Korea Conducts Third Nuclear Test, Upsets U.N.
Tiffany Kaiser
February 12, 2013 6:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: b.examiner.com)
Even its ally, China, is upset with the country
North Korea performed its third
nuclear test today
, saying that it was an act of self-defense against the United States.
According to North Korea's Foreign Ministry, today's test was the first response with maximum restraint.
"If the United States continues to come out with hostility and complicates the situation, we will be forced to take stronger, second and third responses in consecutive steps," North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
North Korea is one of the most sanctioned states for its previous nuclear tests, but after today, the U.S. and its allies plan on "augmenting" these sanctions.
"The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community" said U.S. President Barack Obama. "The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies."
North Korea has said in the past that Washington's aim was to "
eliminate the political ideology and system our people have opted for."
According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, today's nuclear test measured "approximately several kilotons" while the first North Korean nuclear test in 2006 was under 1 kiloton and the second in 2009 was about 2-7 kilotons.
At first glance, U.S. security officials said the test seemed to use a plutonium-based prototype weapon (as did the previous two tests, but this was the latest version). More samples would have to be collected with the United States' WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft to determine if uranium was used.
North Korea's actions today has drawn criticism from many member states of the United Nations. The U.S., Japan, Russia, South Korea and China are a few that have denounced the test and urged North Korea to talks. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe even said that this test was a "grave threat."
China is especially upset by the test, since it is a permanent member of the Security Council and North Korea's main economic and diplomatic ally. North Korea's defiance just goes to show that Beijing doesn't have the power or influence it thinks it has with the country.
In December 2012, North Korea also successfully
tested an intercontinental missile
, drawing more international criticism. Earlier in 2012, North Korea said
"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

Magnificent Copper River salmon is leaping off plates all around town
It's one of my favorite times of year: Copper River salmon season. Yes, as Kim Pierce pointed out in her story about wild salmon last week, salmon from other rivers in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest can be just as wonderful. But there's a certain excitement in the air when the Copper River fish come into the markets and land on dining room tables — it's such a gorgeous (and gorgeously flavored) fish.
The Copper River moment signals the height of wild salmon season — the part of the season when chefs all get excited about the fish and start being creative with it and showing it off to its best advantage. When I spot it — or other wild salmons — on menus, I have a very hard time not ordering it. Here's a sampling of what you'll find around town, followed by ways to cook it simply at home:
• A few weeks ago, Columbia River salmon made an appearance in the form of a luxurious salmon tartare that led off Bruno Davaillon's $75, five-course asparagus menu at the Mansion Restaurant. Davaillon set it off with a horseradishy ice cream topped with trout roe and, of course, asparagus. Now he's starting the asparagus menu with Copper River sashimi with mustard ice cream, white asparagus tips and smoked trout roe. On his regular menu, he's offering a main course of slow-roasted salmon with Japanese eggplant, pickled radishes and pickled ramps finished with a black-garlic-miso condiment and a brown-butter-shallot bearnaise reduction. It's yours for $42.
• At Spoon Bar and Kitchen, John Tesar sears Copper River salmon in a cast-iron pan and serves it with pea puree, a warm salad of spring peas, pickled morels, pearl onions and a pea tendril salad. The dish goes for $36.
• Belly and Trumpet's Brian Zenner features Copper River salmon as a "large plate," with Texas caviar, ham hock, salsify and pickled ramps — for $28.
• At TJ's Seafood Market and Grill, you can get Copper River sockeye salmon four ways: simply grilled; with lemon butter and capers; blackened, with creole sauce or pan-seared "crispy skin-up" for $28 (including two sides).
• Driftwood chef Kyle McClelland will be featuring roasted steelhead salmon as a special on Friday and Saturday, with pickled golden beets, whole roasted shiitake mushrooms and a white miso vinaigrette. The plate will be $30.
• Up in Far North Dallas, Jean-Marie Cadot has been offering Copper River salmon as a special at his namesake French restaurant, serving it with sorrel sauce over crushed potatoes. The plate goes for $36
• Sea Breeze Fish Market and Grill in Plano has just sold out of its supply of Copper River salmon, but chef Mike Schumacher expects a new shipment shortly. Last week he featured it, cedar-planked and served with arugula pesto and a roasted vegetable medly, as dining room special for $25.99 at lunch, $32.99 at dinner.
Have you lucked in to a great wild salmon plate lately? We'd certainly love to hear about it in a comment.
Of course you can also pick up some fabulous Copper River salmon and cook it yourself. I like to keep it very simple. My favorite way to cook it is low and slow, with just sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, in a pan with a little olive oil. I start with the fillet skin-side up, cooking it for just a minute over low heat, then I flip it and cooking it very gently until that it stays translucent in the center (just past medium-rare, I guess you'd say). (Cooking it on high heat makes it seize up and obscures the delicate flavor.) Or I poach it — placing a fillet in generously salted simmering water to cover, putting a lid on it and immediately turning off the heat. When the water's cool, the fish is done. Then I chill it and serve it with a sauce made by combining lots of fresh dill with a mixture of about half Dijon mustard and half crème fraîche, a spoonful of local honey and salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste. (The sauce is best if it sits for a couple hours so the flavors meld.) Or I soak a cedar plank in water, fire up the (charcoal-powered) Weber, season it with just salt and pepper, set it skin-side-down on the plank, and cook it on the grill, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the heat and the size of the fillet).
I found beautiful Copper River fillets on sale at Whole Foods over the weekend for $19.99 per pound. TJ's (at both the Oak Lawn and Preston-Forest locations), and Sea Breeze will be selling it for $27.99 when the new shipment, expected on Thursday, arrives.

UltraLife blue-green algae remover
Does anybody have experience with using UltraLife blue-green algae remover (http://www.ultralifedirect.com/HTML/..._remover.htm)?
If it really is a more gentle approach, I would prefer using it, before I reach for antibiotics (erythromycin).
I'd like to hear about how effective it is, and if O2 levels and pH get affected drastically.
Proper water keeping will remove any form of algae and is really the only safe way to do it.Consistent water changes,proper feeding techniques and a properly stocked tank are the best algae remover there is.
The MSDS says it contains
Non-Hazardous mixture of organic ingredients
If you use it and it works, please post details such as dose, length of time it took, how much residue might have been left, etc.
If it doesn't work, take it back to the store and demand your money back as it is advertised and sold as a remover.

It wiped out my infestation virtually overnight. I had been fighting it for weeks. After a single dose, it never came back. Just be ready to clean the gunk out or you'll have some serious water quality problems. My Otos seemed to devour the dead stuff so i really didnt have to do anythiing else.
On other forums there is some debate on if it really does contain erthrimycin. UltraLife has never disclosed its ingredients.
I think you should never use chemicals unless it's some type of medication
It causes undesirable after effects
Snail chemicals to kill snail infestation
Kills the snails, but their rotting bodies cause an ammonia spike.
There are plenty of ways do get rid of algae without chemicals.

I totally agree with you Fisharefriends27. It may take a little bit of work to get rid of Algae, but you should figure out why you had the spike, fix it, and then not have to worry about it...
Google is your friend. Use it!!!
Thanks everyone for your input!
Blue-green algae actually are not algae, but cyanobacteria. The "normal algae rules" don't necessarily apply and treatment appears to be very different.
I believe, with lots of research I have discovered the cause for my problem. I have actually been TOO diligent with my tank upkeep: Cyanobacteria seem to thrive in environments with very low nitrate values. My water parameters are pristine, which unfortunately also means almost no nitrate! (Fish are super happy with that, though.) Another issue that points to this problem is the fact that my Echinodorus tenellus is having growth issues.
So, to help my planted tank AND battle the BGA, I will start dosing with NO3. After taking care of the root problem, I believe I will also give the UltraLife remover a shot.
I also followed the advice in Dave66 "Algae: A How to Primer" and increased lighting duration.
I will report about my results, once I know, where things are going.
Thanks again for all your thoughts!
Ok, here is my report on using the UltraLife Blue Green Algae Remover:
My BGA infestation had gotten so vigorous that two days after cleaning and algae plucking, everything was covered in green mats again.
After a thorough algae cleaning, I used the first application of UltraLife according to the instructions (2 level spoons for each 15 gallons of aquarium water, dissolved in some of the water from the tank). It is a pinkish powder, and heres a warning: It is very fine and floats up easily. Watch out that you dont inhale it, like I did (I didnt turn into anything alien or hairy, yet ). It also is a little stubborn with the dissolving part ( much to the joy of my tetras, which immediately started tasting the few un-dissolved little granules.).
I added the solution to my tank slowly. The UltraLife website recommends adding air-stones for the time of treatment, because the oxygen uptake rate in your aquarium will increase as a result of this increased biological activity. I only lowered the water level, so that the filter outflow splashed some bubbles into the mix.
I saw no effects on fish, shrimp or plants! Everybody was happy and behaving normal. No signs of ammonia, either. I also did not see any die-off of BGA
I repeated the treatment in the same way after 48 hours as recommended. This time I removed the carbon from my filter, even though the UltraLife website states that this is not necessary.
Once again I observed no effect on flora, fauna or water parameters. And even though I also did not see any BGA dying, I also have not seen any BGA growth at all. The few blobs that I had missed during the initial clean-up are still as they were, but NO GROWTH! It has now been exactly one week since the first treatment and so far so good! I will keep watching carefully, but it seems that the UltraLife really has worked.
I also remedied what I think to be the culprit of the initial BGA outbreak: I am now dosing with Flourish Nitrogen, because my nitrate values were pretty much zero; conditions which, as I read, the BGA favor.
I hope that this is it!
And: For those who dont know I have a planted freshwater tank with soft water and a pH just below 7.
Hope this will be helpful to other BGA sufferers out there.

If the product contains an added antibiotic and they don't list it, that could cost them a large fine. Since they list organic ingredients, I suppose they might use what ever fungus produces the desired end product.

When I used it, it seemd to be slightly fizzy and acted a lot like sodium percarbonate, a strong oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide. It made me wonder if h2o2 would have worked too.
The dead algae became a brown gooey mess. So if you're still seeing green patches, it's not yet dead and I would be thinking of doing another dose, but if its not growing you can probably wait a few days to do it.
I dosed my tank in 2 half doses spaced several hours apart simply because I had read that cories are sensitive to it. I then repeated a few days later. I never did notice any bad affects to the fish or plants.
Once dead, it never returned for me.
It is expensive though. For $15 you get this teeny little bottle.
