War Eagle. Anywhere from a 17' to 20'. I have a 17' with a 40HP Merc. Handles most anything I run into. It's for sale (after duck season) PMG if your interested.

I have a Beavertail 1754 with a 35hp surface drive (stock). I like how well the boat is built, I bought a package that came with boat, motor, blind, seats, front lights, interior lights, bilage pump and trailer. I like how fast and easy the set up of the blind is but you need to stubble it. while hunting in Oct. I had 2 people, 1 small lab at 90 some pounds . 100 + decoys and all the other gear and blind we reached a blazing 17 mph. 2 weeks ago just me with blind still on boat, no decoys was getting 22 mph. I looked at many boats before I bought one and liked the fact there were hardly any sharp edges. this is a all welded boat and it is heavy. You can order the boat any way you would like from beavertail. now for the trouble I have had. 1 broken power trim mount but this was after I was trimming down the motor on top of a 8 ft log I could not see and lifted the rear of the boat up (did not see any of this) once the prop hit the log it flip the log out of the water and I had a busted mount, it was replace at no cost. Good luck in your search for a duck boat.

Beavertail or war eagle if they are in your range. Lowe makes a good hull and is far cheaper in price. As fas as motors go, it depends on where you hunt. Open water or lakes without a lot of debris you can use an outboard. Rivers, marshes, or lakes with shallow muddy area require a mud motor. Long tails are, IMHO, best for areas with lots do really shallow areas and really muddy areas. The hyperdrives are better if you have lots of submerged logs although they will get most places a long tail will.
Remember Craigslist can be your friend. You don't have to go with a custom built duck boat. You can find a Jon boat hull on CL and with a little work you can turn it into a fine duck boat. I have done this and get great satisfaction out of doing so. I look for a flat bottom wide hull no less than 16 foot. You can find a hull that has as much or as little as you want to pay for. Some are fully wired and have live bait wells and others have nothing but a hull. As long as you find a good, stable hull that does not leak you can build what you want and then put the real money in the motor.

I hunted yesterday with a friend who found a great deal on a fully equiped 17' or so Lowe. His boat has a modern 4-stroke 50hp Evinrude, boat blind (though we hunted from shore), it was camo with a big light mounted on the bow, built in seats and storage. It was roomier than my boat with room to walk around. That motor was so smooth and quiet, it was like running an electric motor. I was quite impressed.
Erik, please post a pic or two of that Mallard you built. My boat is great, but there are some very good "honey holes" that have a very tight shallow entrance, then it deepens to two-three feet in the pond area. You could walk in, but the dog would be standing in ice water in the cattails. I'm basically looking for a towable, floating shooting platform for two guys and a dog. We would tow it up river to our spot empty, or maybe with some decoys to give it some weight and stability, then transfer guns, shells, lunch and dog to walk it across the shallows into the pond, set up and shoot from a hide in the cattails.
One more thing for the OP, there is a wonderful forum dedicated to duck boats of all kinds called duckboats.net . It is very much like our forum with strong opinions on all subjects, but it was a wealth of great information for me as I went through the same process as you some years ago.

Depends entirely on where and how you hunt. I have a South Bay and it's nice in the backwater but I wouldn't take it in the open river on a bet. Just too flat and low profile. It's rated for 9.9 BTW George.
Pupknuckle with the 2072 hunts just down from me but in an entirely different manner/area. His boat wouldn't work for me and mine wouldn't work for him.
Tell us more about the area, number of people and so forth and we might be able to get you better advice.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Mexican Standoff
The turkeys sure liked that flat, so I figured they'd stay there for a while. My Mexican guide and I left Mitch at our original setup and belly-crawled 50-some yards to a fence near where the birds had been.
Our first calls brought gobbles from the breeding flock, which was about 100 yards away near the base of the bluff. Gobbles also rang out behind us, though, and within minutes, a longbeard and three jakes popped out and stood 25 steps away. When I shot the longbeard, the breeding flock raced up the ridge and disappeared, but I didn't care.
When we walked back to Mitch, I was ready to brag about the great move we'd made.
"Man, y'all could have stayed right here and shot a huge longbeard," he said. "Right after you started movin' over there, a gobbler broke off from that flock and came right in. You'd have killed him at 10 steps."
Even when you're right, you can be wrong.
What decision did you make?

An interesting few minutes this a.m. over on the facebook. One of my facebook friends. My soon to be uncle as he is about to marry an Aunt of mine. Nice guy, lives just outside of D.C in a town named Falls Church. Active in poly tics. A democrat. He and I were commenting to each other on the public news feed about the Presidents health care plan. I used factual statements from personal experience, and I feel (and he as well) was besting him. He deleted the entire thread. We were not yelling or quoting party rhetoric. Just having a very polite, factual conversation over morning coffee. And he ran away. Now this is not my first such experience. Just the most recent.
So my question, to EVERYONE in our potus group.
Why is it that SOME folk who are very good at yelling and chanting and quoting sound bites, from ether side. When offered a chance to just sit down and talk honestly about things they actually know about a topic. Run away? How can anyone, from ether side accomplish anything, if they run away? Policy is made with pencil and desk, not bonfire and chant.?????

Daemon - A Novel
Here's a relatively new (this past summer) novel with technical content.
Anyone read this one? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Daemon - A Novel
Book Description
Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer--the architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death from brain cancer depressed both gamers and his company's stock price. But Sobol's fans weren't the only ones to note his passing. He left behind something that was scanning Internet obituaries, too--something that put in motion a whole series of programs upon his death. Programs that moved money. Programs that recruited people. Programs that killed.
Confronted with a killer from beyond the grave, Detective Peter Sebeck comes face-to-face with the full implications of our increasingly complex and interconnected world--one where the dead can read headlines, steal identities, and carry out far-reaching plans without fear of retribution. Sebeck must find a way to stop Sobol's web of programs--his Daemon--before it achieves its ultimate purpose. And to do so, he must uncover what that purpose is . . .
Anyone read this one? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

The speech can not be easily be summed up in a few sentences, but if you are interested in open code you should read the transcript. Science fiction writer Sterling spans over a wide range of subjects, like the nature of the Cathedral, the gurus and why open source, basically, is about hanging out with the cool guys.

Canoe Thwart Bag
Put some pockets in your canoe! This handy bag is built to hang from the thwart of a canoe but it also thwarts awkward and dangerous attempts to retrieve gear from a stowed canoe pack by keeping essential items close at hand.Product Info
Cars and trucks offer cool compartments all over the place, why leave the organization out of your canoe? The Canoe Thwart Bag hangs in front of the paddler sitting in the stern of a canoe (or anywhere else you are able to hang it within reach). Twin zipper slides offer access to the main compartment. Our Plano® Boxes fit great and keep tackle organized. A leather flapstrap keeps the full length pocket secure, waxed canvas keeps contents dry in the rain. Add some carrying capacity to your canoe and keep your necessary items handy.
8″h x 16″w x 3″d
384 c.i. (Approx).
2 external slip.
Coil zipper with 2 slides (Main Compartment), Leather strap and buckle (Flap).
Leather strap and buckle.
18 oz. waxed canvas, premium leather, solid brass hardware.
We guarantee the hardware and workmanship on Frost River's waxed canvas and leather packs, bags, and accessories forever. If we built it, we know the seams will stay strong, the zippers will work and the rivets and hardware will hold securely, and we take pride in building reliable softgoods at our shop in Duluth, Minnesota. We realize that stuff happens in life and rugged wilderness travel is tough on bags, and that if you use your gear hard, it will wear out eventually. That's why it's important to us that everything we make is highly repairable, usually worth repairing, and that we'll be here to mend them with patches, straps, repairs, and fixes through a lifetime in the field — after all, the blemishes, scars, patches and stains in your pack each tell their own story, don't they?
What's covered?
We stand behind all our craftsmanship and hardware. We guarantee the seams on your Frost River bag will stay sewn together, the rivets will hold, the zippers will work, and the buckles will do their job for as long as you (or your grandkids) have your bag. The lustre on the hardware will fade and patina, and the seams will age, but they'll hold, and keep on working. If they don't, and your product fails due to flaws in craftsmanship or hardware, we will repair or replace it at our discretion to get your gear back in service. Please send any warranty or repair products to us in clean condition. You can read more about caring for you Frost River gear in our frequently asked questions section.
What's not covered?
Our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear on the canvas, leather, or straps. We use great materials, — the best we can find — they're tough and will hold up to all sorts of use and abuse. However, we cannot guarantee cotton and leather to last forever. We can, and do, make repairs to canvas bags at a reasonable rate, both Frost River, and sometimes other brands. If you'd like to get more information, or request a quote on a repair job, contact us at email@example.com or call the shop (it can help to send a photo or two).
The Fine Print…
All warranty and repair work requires postage to be paid to and from the shop. We reserve the right to replace a Frost River item if we feel it cannot logically be repaired, and refuse service if your pack or bag comes to us in an unclean condition. If a replacement is issued, the original will not be returned. Damage due to excessive wear and tear, damage caused by an animal, abuse, misuse, neglect, an act of God or nature, and damage due to modifications are not covered by our warranty. Please get a hold of us by using the contact us tab if you have any questions.
Do I need proof of purchase?
The short answer, is no, you do not need a proof of purchase. We build all Frost River reliable softgoods ourselves and we put our signature on each and every piece. If your bag has that little Frost River tag, (called a taffeta) it's covered by our warranty. We will gladly work with you to repair bags and gear sent without the taffeta, but they are not covered by our guarantee. If you have any questions, please get a hold of us by using the contact info here.
Why we guarantee Frost River's Reliable Softgoods
We take pride in keeping canvas bags out in the world, and will work with you to keep yours in working order. We offer a lifetime guarantee because we know how durable our products are; we built them, and because we did, we can take yours apart, fix it, and get it back to you again for more years of service.

14th century
Redirected from 1334
42,478pages onAdd New Page
this wiki
this wiki
The 14th century is defined by the calendar of Earth as occurring from the year 1301 through the year 1400.
Events Edit
- Humans perfect the mechanical clock. At the same time they still use steel crossbows in battle. (TNG: "Booby Trap")
- The Promellians and the Menthars fight a devastating war near Orelious IX. The conflict eventually resulted in the destruction of the planet and both races. (TNG: "Booby Trap")
- The Promellian battle cruiser Cleponji is ensnared by aceton assimilators in the debris field of Orelious IX. (TNG: "Booby Trap")
- The Ventaxian civilization, suffering from environmental pollution, severe overcrowding, and constant warfare, begin a thousand-year period of peace and prosperity. According to legend, the Ventaxians made a pact with a supernatural being named Ardra. (TNG: "Devil's Due")
- The planet Kataan suffers a protracted drought due to increasing solar radiation. Realizing that their sun was about to go nova, the inhabitants launch a probe containing a memory record of their civilization. (TNG: "The Inner Light")
- A group of humanoid travelers are stranded on the planet Meridian, which intersects two distinct dimensions. (DS9: "Meridian")
- Qo'noS is attacked by a group of plundering aliens, whom the Klingons name the Hur'q. Many cultural artifacts are stolen, most notably the Sword of Kahless. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless") Also during this period, Klingon warriors set out and slay all of their gods, because they are more trouble than they are worth. (DS9: "Homefront")
- The Vulcan holiday of Rumarie ceases to be observed. (VOY: "Meld")
- The ruling family of the Ramatis system are discovered to lack the gene required for the sense of hearing. A system is developed in which the members of the ruling family may both hear and speak through a "chorus" of interpreters. (TNG: "Loud As A Whisper")
- The people of Ardana build a magnificent city named Stratos, which floats among the clouds. It is widely considered to be the Milky Way Galaxy's greatest example of sustained anti-gravity. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders")
- A civil war begins on Daled IV. (TNG: "The Dauphin")
- The people of Mintaka III begin to experience a transformation in their society as they move away from their belief in the Overseer towards a new understanding of their world based on logic and rational thinking. (TNG: "Who Watches The Watchers")
- Gomtuu, a living spaceship, contacts one of its own kind, a contact that will be the last for many centuries. (TNG: "Tin Man")
- The people of Aldea erect a force field over their planet in an effort to mislead their enemies. (TNG: "When The Bough Breaks")
- One of the Organians who later visits Enterprise NX-01 in 2154, begins to observe different humanoid species to evaluate if they are ready for first contact. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
- 1334
- The bubonic plague breaks out on Earth and spreads throughout Asia and Europe, wiping out over two thirds of Eurasian Humans. Flint spends the summer in Constantinople where he witnesses the plague's death and destruction. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")
Notes Edit
- Lines from "Rightful Heir" and DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places" indicate that the time of Kahless was "a thousand years ago", i.e., apparently implying the 14th century. However, "Rightful Heir" mentions the monks on Boreth had been awaiting Kahless' return for "15 centuries", i.e. 500 years longer. This would also be in accord with the Sword of Kahless being dated to an age of 1,400 years in "The Sword of Kahless". Furthermore, a scene cut from "Rightful Heir" had Data specify Kahless' death as 1547 years ago, which would place it in 822 AD.
- According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 78), the surface of Ocampa was devasted by the Nacene.

CE Courses
The Restorative Dental Hygienist: A Sponsored Research Pilot Program to Evaluate the Impact of an Alternative Workforce Model Relative to the Current National Discussion
Thursday, February 28, 2013
and Members of the Pilot Restorative Dental Hygiene Program Development Team
Course Overview
Two strategies identified in the Principles, Competencies, and Curriculum for Educating Dental Therapists Report of the American Association of Public Health Dentistry Panel (2011) for reducing oral health disparities state, "1) include dental care or expand it in community health centers and federally qualified health centers and 2) educate and deploy new types of dental workforce providers that can reach groups not presently served in locations where they live". To address these strategies, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry are currently developing a pilot restorative dental hygiene program to be implemented by the University of Detroit Mercy preparing baccalaureate (BS) degree dental hygienists to provide assessment, preventive/therapeutic, and restorative (including the preparation of hard tissue tooth structure, packing and carving of amalgam, and placement of composite) services to underserved populations in health profession shortage areas (HPSA) under the direct supervision of a dentist. The purpose of this course is to share components of the collaborative pilot program development process. It is anticipated that sharing the pilot restorative post BS degree dental hygiene program components will create an awareness of an educational model aimed at preparing an alternative workforce provider who may possibly be involved in future expansion of dental care in HPSA community or federally qualified health centers under the direct supervision of the dentist. Phase two of the research project will include data obtained as specified in the program evaluation plan. This data will be shared in the future once the pilot program is completed.
Course Objectives
At the completion of the course, participants will be able to gain knowledge of:
- Intended outcomes of the pilot program
- Competencies to be attained upon completion of the pilot program
- The pilot restorative dental hygiene curriculum
- Pilot program structure including a combination of classroom/web enhanced experiences, simulation, and interdisciplinary patient care experiences with members of the dental care team in the dental school setting
- The research pilot program evaluation plan

Hi all,
Did anyone else get the Mail On Sunday today? It come with a CD-ROM and magazine about AOTC. I haven't looked at the magazine yet, but it looks pretty good. Nothing spectacular though.
As for the CD, here are my thoughts:
There are two documentaries. One is just a montage of on-set video clips - people swinging plastic lightsabers and jumping of big blue things and landing on bigger blue things. Its pretty crap. Oh, but there are a few seconds where Jango Fett is dancing with an umbrella. hee hee
The other documentary (and I use the term loosely) is another montage of stuff, but with the occassion comment from or about the actor who plays anakin. Pretty crap again.
Also included on the CD are the following:
Soundtrack Preview:
Track 1 - a daft slap-together of several SW tunes. 2 minutes.
Track 2 - an unused tune. pretty damn boring.
Track 3 - the star wars theme.
Picture Gallery:
20ish pictures. Some are behind-the-scenes, some are just shots of faces and things. Nothing remotely captivating. But it was funny seeing Jango Fett standing on a step-ladder. Surely he'd use his jetpack.
Wallpaper & Screensaver
Wallpaper: if you want, you can use the images from the picture gallery as wallpaper. I don't think many people will want to.
Screen saver: if you want, you can have a slide-show of the images from the pciture gallery (that's what i assume anyway, i didn't install it)
Overall: For £1.10 i would rather have had a 6th of a star wars figure than this piece of crap CD. But on the other hand I'm glad I bought it because its star wars-y. The magazine doesn't look bad, there's a nice big picture of a few dozen clone troopers going to collect their helmets. Something more fearsome would have been nice, but i'm glad I know they have to actually put their helmets on themselves. I assumed a machine would do it.
Did anyone else get their hands on this?

Spokane voters approve four-year library levy
Spokane public libraries are turning to a new page in their book after, by a two-to-one margin, voters approved of a new four-year library levy.
The libraries were facing a $500,000 deficit next year, but now, instead of scaling back and possibly closing some branches, they're now adding additional hours to half the libraries in town.
That's great news for Cora King, someone you could call a loyal library patron, who was picking up more than a dozen books from the library Wednesday.Spokane library levy
"I'm grateful they are still open," she said.
Now, the hours at three libraries in Spokane will nearly double, thanks to voters like Cora.
"Oh I love that; that means I can bring books back more often and take back more books," she said.
Library director Pat Partovi says she's grateful and relieved with the vote.
"You know, wow, they love us, they really love us, it was just really great to see the margin of victory," she said. "What this means is we will be able to expand in 2014 instead of contract"
In 2014, smaller branches like Hillyard and Indian Trail will be open 40 hours a week instead of just 22 and a half. Partovi said the four-year levy will raise about $1 million each year and also help them maintain all their library equipment.
Starting in 2014, homeowners will pay between $7 and $14 more a year to fund these libraries.

Japanese Kickboxing Scene: February Recap
- Written by Dave Walsh
February was kind of a slow month at the top of the ladder, especially when compared to January and March, but it still had a plethora of events and was not devoid of high level competition. Big cards in February included Shootboxing, NJKF and Fist Kick's first events of 2013, all of which featured top Japanese fighters taking on foreign competition, with two facing Rajadamnern Stadium champions.
February 3rd - J-Network: J-Fight in Shinjuku ~vol.29~/J-Girls 2013 ~Victorious Goddess 1st~
In the J-Network main event, Bantamweight champ Kentaro Kimura stopped MA Kick's Hiroshi Watanabe via cut in the 2nd round, bouncing back from a loss to Takuma Ito that snapped a 5-fight winning streak. In a fight that may have determined Kimura's next challenger, 7th ranked Yojiro upset #1 Kenta by split decision. For Yojiro it's his 3rd straight and Kenta is now winless in his last 4. As part of a 4-man mini-tournament to determine WPMF Japan Super Flyweight champion Kiminori Matsuzaki's next challenger (or for the vacant title if he vacated it), Ryuji Wakayama upset Hiroyuki Yamano by unanimous decision. This was quite the upset as Yamano was coming off of a win over Yuji Uwasawa. In the J-Girls main event, Yuichiro Nagashima student Chihiro Kira took a unanimous decision over Shootboxing JKS48 tournament runner-up Akari Eneos, avenging her sister, Yuki Kira, who lost to Akari last year.
February 10th - DEEP*KICK 14
In the night's main event, 65kg champ and Krush regular Hiroto Yamaguchi took a close unanimous decision over 2011 K-1 Koshien runner-up Yuya Shibata. Yamaguchi has now won 2 straight since losing to Koya Urabe in the semifinals of the 2012 Krush Youth GP. Shibata also participated in that tournament, but lost his quarterfinal fight to Daizo Sasaki. The event was also supposed to have a 70kg title fight between champion Ren Takeno and Yoji Fujimoto, but Takeno weighed in 6.2kg over the limit and his title was forfeited to Fujimoto. In a pair of 55kg fights, Yokinobu Nakatsuka stopped Koki Nakamu in the 3rd round while Krush veteran Kazuki Tanaka defeated Ikki by decision. This likely sets up a fight between Tanaka and Nakatsuka and if Tanaka wins he could get a shot at 55kg champ Seiya Rokukawa. Nakatsuka has faced Rokukawa twice and lost convincingly both times.
MA Kick - Break 34
The main event saw #5 Welterweight Akira Makoto keep his undefeated record with a win over #1 Yasuyki Murata. Makoto will likely face off with champion Jun Nakazawa next and will need to bring it if he wants to stay undefeated. In the co-main event, Thai Pupanrek Esugym stopped Yukimaru in the 1st round.
February 17th - NJKF 2013 1st
In the month's biggest event, Rajadamnern Stadium champ Kaimookdham Aikbangzai dominated title challenger Kunitaka en route to a 2nd round stoppage, retaining his Raja Stadium title. The fight was a bit of a mismatch, as Kunitaka had a weak record against Thai competition. The main event saw Gansuwan Sasiprapa score a bit of an upset over Tetsuya Yamato. Gansuwan has had strong outings in his last two fights in Japan, taking out Tetsuya Yamato and Yuya Yamato. This loss stopped a 3-fight win streak for Yamato. In a NJKF Welterweight title fight, Yuya Yamato picked up a second close win over Soichiro Miyakoshi on scores of 49-48(x3) to earn his first title defense. Miyakoshi had looked very good since their first fight, but was unable to use his momentum to overcome Yamato despite a strong performance. His brother Keijiro Miyakoshi also fought, defending his NJKF Lightweight title against Ryota, snapping a 2-fight losing streak. NJKF Super Lightweight champion Seiji Takahashi defended his title as well with a one sided decision over Kazushige Sugama. NJKF Super Bantamweight champion Arato was unable to keep his title, losing a decision to challenger Hiroya Haga. WBC Japan Women's Featherweight champ Ayano Oishi defended her title with a 5th round TKO via cut in the 5th round over Team Dragon's Kimiko Sasaki. Finally, Flyweight prospects Nemo and Takashi Saenchaigym fought for a 2nd time, their first encounter ending in a draw, with Takashi picking up the unanimous decision win and vacant NJKF Flyweight title, ending Nemo's impressive run.
Fist Kick IX
The main event saw Rajadamnern Stadium Featherweight champion Sirimongkol Eiwaigym make his third trip to Japan, this time defeating Daiki Nagashima by unanimous decision, although the fight was pretty close. Sirimongkol improves to 2-0-1 on Japanese soil, having previously defeated Shunta Ito and surprisingly drawing with Yusuke Shimizu. The co-main event saw Kanongsuk WSR pick up a win over WPMF Japan Super Lightweight champion Hidekazu Tanaka. Kanongsuk had just been knocked out by undefeated prospect Yasuyuki while Tanaka was coming off of a loss to Minoru Kimura. Polish fighter Joanna Jedrzejczyk returned to Japan after a win over Ayano Oishi in the Hoost Cup and picked up another win over NJKF Featherweight champ AZUMA. In a bit of an upset, Takeshi Shimizu defeated TOMOYUKI to win the vacant WPMF Japan Super Welterweight title. TOMOYUKI had recently had a 3-fight win streak snapped by Buakaw in Thai Fight while Shimizu was knocked out by Takayuki WSR in his last outing. In another upset, Noro Yuki stopped J-Network Super-Flyweight champ Yuki via cuts in the 2nd round to win the vacant WPMF Japan Bantamweight title. Noro Yuki now has two big wins over guys moving up in weight recently, previously picking up a win over TO-MA. Yuki had won three straight including a win at Bantamweight over Kenta. In the other semifinal of the aforementioned WPMF Japan Super Flyweight tournament, Nagata Haryi upset Sazanami Satsutama in an extension round and will now face Ryuji Wakayama. This is a much more shocking upset than Wakayama's win over Yamano as Satsutama had looked very strong over the past few years, only losing to the top 3 fighters in the division. Also in action was Madoka Jinnai, also known as Erika Kamimura's amateur rival and the first girl to beat her, albeit in amateur competition, defeated J-Girls Bantamweight champion Yukino Oishi, winning the vacant WPMF Japan Bantamweight title.
February 22nd - Shootboxing 2013 act.1
The main event saw the struggling Yoshihiro Sato take on "Japanese Killer" and 2012 S-Cup runner-up Henri van Opstal. Sato became the first Japanese fighter to defeat van Opstal, winning a close majority decision. Sato was coming off of a disappointing loss to Kenta which dethroned him as Japan's top Middleweight, a distinction he had held since Masato's retirement. The co-main event saw Warren Stevelmans pick up a win over the entertaining Bovy Sor Udomson. Stevelmans was supposed to compete in last year's S-Cup, but opted to fight as a late replacement in GLORY. Bovy did compete in the S-Cup, but lost in the opening round to Henri van Opstal. Shootboxing Featherweight champion Akira Utagawa took a one-sided decision over Kazuki Tamagawa, scoring shoot point after shoot point. MMA fighter Joachim Hansen returned to Shootboxing after a surprisingly close fight with Hiroaki Suzuki in last year's S-Cup in his Shootboxing debut, this time picking up a win over Kenji Kanai on extremely impressive scores of 30-21(x2) and 30-20. Hinata competed on the card, picking up an easy win over Masatoshi Hyakutake. K-1 veteran Kizaemon Saiga returned to Shootboxing as well, picking up his second win in the promotion with a win over Makoto Yamauchi. Ai Takahashi returned with a win, defeating Korean Mi-jeon Jang. Finally, Rena's protégé and JKS48 winner MIO suffered her first pro loss at the hands of J-GIRLS MiniFlyweight champion Momi.
February 24th - Big Bang 12
The main event saw Krush 70kg champ Yasuhiro Kido take on Asami Zaurus, who lost a close fight to Takuro Moriya which would have given him a shot at Kido's Krush title. Asami put up a good fight, but came up short as Kido picked up yet another win. Shunta Ito bounced back from a close loss to Hiroki Akimoto with a 4th round KO of Korean fighter Seong-bum Woo. At Heavyweight, Hiromi Amada had his first real competition in a while and picked up a win over Tsutomu Takahagi. Toshiki Taniyama picked up his 2nd straight win with a close majority decision over Korean fighter Son-cheol Oh. At 71kg, Yoichi Yamazaki stopped K-1 veteran Shingo Garyu while 55kg Krush prospect Namito Izawa dropped a decision to Ariaki Okada.
Hoost Cup Spirit 2
The main event saw prospect Sho Ogawa struggle with RISE Lightweight Shohei Asahara, but ultimately pull out a split decision victory. After a strong run that saw him win the 2011 K-1 Koshien tournament and also pick up wins over Makihira Keita and Minoru Kimura, Ogawa is 1-1 in his last two and hasn't looked great in either fight. Asahara may not be the best Lightweight, but he is much better than his 0-5 record over his last 5 fights would indicate. He took RISE 65kg champ Koji Yoshimoto and top ranked RISE Lightweight Yuto Watanabe to extension rounds, lost close, competitive decisions to Yusuke Sugawara and current RISE Lightweight champ Sung-hyun Lee and now loses a split decision to Ogawa.
NJKF Muay Thai Open 23
The main event pitted Kongenchai Esugym against Shota Saenchaigym and started well for Shota, who scored knockdowns in the 1st and 2nd rounds. However, Kongenchai stormed back and was eventually able to cut Shota with an elbow, causing the doctor to stop the fight in the 4th. Though he likely would have lost a decision, Kongenchai showed a lot of heart and was able to get the stoppage, even if it was kind of anti-climactic. This is a tough loss for Shota who was winning and had won 2 straight, including a win over Shohei Hareyama. The co-main event saw Dejpanom Saenchaigym bounce back from a loss to Seiji Takahashi with a win over Team Dragon's Shota Watanabe.

Welfare Society for Solar Development
this wiki
Last updated: 26 October 2015
The Welfare Society for Solar Development (WSD), formerly Welfare Society for the Disabled People, has helped over 10,000 people in Uganda and over 1500 in Congo and 1500 in refugee camps to solar cook. Since January 2009 the organisation has distributed CooKits, Sun Ovens, and parabolic cookers to new member groups in the urban and rural regions of western Uganda, including the refugee camps (settlements) and taught over 2000 people. Demonstrations and training workshops, as well as advocacy efforts, including displays in various shows, have increased in number as our member base has grown. Per request from our members, we have introduced and integrated improved household energy-saving stoves, Rocket Stoves, and burners which do not produce smoke during cooking. Such stoves allow for a safer and more environmentally friendly method to cook indoors and during the rainy season. Our organization is currently in need of a laptop computer, low-cost aluminum foil, powder coated aluminum, and other materials.
- To produce hot cooked food.
- To construct and distribute integrated energy saving stoves and burners.
- To organize international study tours to developed countries to educate people about solar technology.
News and recent developments
- October 2014: Busobozi Tegras has released a summary of the problems of air quality faced by the citizens of Uganda when cooking over open fires.
- January 2011: Busobozi Tegras writes that WSD is seeking funding for capacity building and project expansion. Donations can be given in lieu of gifts to friends and family. WSD will e-mail you a thank you card that can be presented to the recipient. For details, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

You have been summoned for jury duty. It may seem like an inconvenience. It may conflict with your vacation plans. You may worry about its impact on your job. But keep in mind that jury service is a rare opportunity to make a difference, to serve your community and to play a crucial role in America's system of justice.
For Americans, trial by jury is a basic constitutional right. The roots of our jury system span back to Medieval Europe. In the 9th Century, for example, groups of "disinterested neighbors" determined property rights. In the 17th Century, a "jury of neighbors" would present evidence to prove the "wrongdoing" or "good character" of the accused. In our current system, jurors are simply asked to keep an open mind, weigh evidence presented to them in court—and try to reach a verdict.
Today, three out of four Americans believe the jury system is the most fair method of determining guilt or innocence in criminal cases, according to an American Bar Association survey. Another survey found that a large majority of federal judges say they would prefer to have a jury rather than a judge decide their case if they were ever on trial.
This guide will provide you with an overview of California's jury system—the eligibility requirements, the state's "one-day or one-trial" system and the basic trial process. We hope it helps you understand the jury's vital role in our justice system and what is expected of you, the prospective juror.
Any U.S. citizen who:
There are no educational or skill requirements. Juries are made up of people from all walks of life; they are supposed to reflect the community. Jurors are asked to remain impartial during the trial, weigh the evidence presented to them, apply the applicable law and attempt to reach a verdict.
They are randomly selected from sources that may include various lists, such as voter registration lists and lists of licensed drivers and identification cardholders (from the Department of Motor Vehicles). Once summoned to court, prospective jurors make up the panels from which trial juries are chosen.
No, not necessarily. Jury duty summons are sent out to more individuals than will be needed. This is because some people are automatically excused and others may be excused during the jury selection process.
No more than once in a 12-month period. This is because California has a "one-day or one-trial" jury service system. If you are not chosen to serve on a jury during your first day of service, you will be excused from any further jury service for at least a year. If you are put on a jury, you will be expected to serve until the trial's end. In California, most jury trials are completed within a week. Then you would be excused from jury service for at least a year. If you are summoned back sooner, contact the court.
Yes. For the system to work, citizens must respond when summoned for jury service. Even if you may not qualify for service, you must respond to the summons. If you do not, you could be held in contempt of court and be fined and/or sent to jail.
If you cannot serve on the summons date, you may ask for one postponement to a more convenient time. (Read the summons from your particular court to find out how to respond in your county.) In addition, students may request a postponement to the next school break.
It depends. Jury service is not voluntary. It is a responsibility of citizenship and the law only allows you to be excused for certain reasons. For example, you might be excused if jury service would place an undue hardship on you or the public, or for certain other reasons (see #7). Or, if you do not meet the general eligibility requirements for jury service or you are a peace officer or you have been placed under a conservatorship, you may be disqualified or temporarily excused from service.
Judges can excuse prospective jurors for various reasons. The individual may have:
And, as mentioned previously, judges can excuse individuals if serving on the jury would be an undue hardship for the individual or the public.
This process is also called voir dire. A panel of prospective jurors is randomly selected, sent to a courtroom and given an oath to tell the truth. From that panel, a smaller group is seated in the jury box for questioning. The judge and attorneys assigned to the case then ask questions to determine the prospective jurors' qualifications and suitability. The judge may excuse some individuals. The lawyers may then request that additional prospective jurors be excused for cause. (This means that the individual may be excused for a specific reason, such as a bias.) The attorneys also are allowed a limited number of peremptory challenges. This means that attorneys on each side can, without giving any reason, ask that particular jurors be excused.
In California, trial juries are generally made up of 12 jurors. In civil trials and in criminal cases involving a misdemeanor (a lesser criminal charge), however, there may be fewer than 12 jurors if both sides agree to it.
No, not legally. Nor can your employer harass or fire you for responding to jury service (as long as you have given him or her reasonable advance warning). There are also laws allowing students to be excused from their classes to meet their civic duty and show up for jury service.
Yes, but not much. Beginning on the second day of service, the county will pay you at least $15 a day (unless your government or public employer continues to pay you during your jury service). You also would be entitled to 34 cents a mile in mileage costs one way after your first day of jury service.
If you are not chosen as a juror during your first day of service, you will be excused and usually cannot be summoned back for jury duty for at least a year. If you are summoned back sooner, contact the court.
You will be expected to weigh the evidence presented to you. This could involve judging the facts and deciding whether or not the witnesses are believable. You also will be expected to follow the judge's instructions. You will not, however, be expected—nor will you be allowed—to do any outside research on your own.
The case might involve a civil lawsuit—a consumer suing a business, for example, or a patient accusing a doctor of malpractice. Or, the trial might involve criminal charges—a person accused of robbing or even killing someone, for example. Either way, you will be asked to keep an open mind and to avoid forming any opinions until you have weighed all of the evidence in the case.
No. In fact, you can't even discuss the case with your fellow jurors until the jury deliberations at the end of the trial. Nor can you talk to the lawyers, witnesses or anyone else connected to the case.
Trials can take many unexpected twists and turns. You, as a juror, may even be excluded from certain discussions and hearings during the trial. Generally, however, trials follow this process:
Visit the California Courts website at courtinfo.ca.gov/jury. Some counties provide juror information on their county websites as well.
Yes. The State Bar produces pamphlets and guides on a variety of basic legal topics to help you—the consumer—better understand the law and your rights. The State Bar's Get the Legal Facts of Life pamphlet series addresses topics ranging from divorce, domestic violence and estate planning to your rights as a renter or employee.
There are also State Bar guides that can provide you with basic overviews of those laws applicable to seniors, parents or teenagers who are coming of age. Visit the bar's website at calbar.ca.gov where you'll find the publications and details on ordering complimentary copies. Or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you don't have access to the Internet, call 1-888-875-LAWS (888-875-5297) for information on ordering the publications by mail.
The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide general information on the law, which is subject to change. If you have a specific legal problem, you may want to consult a lawyer.

President's Message
Think twice before you speak. How often have those words resounded in your head before you launch into a presentation, lecture, conversation, or rebuttal? Words, tone, and inflection are our tools for influencing others with our passion and knowledge of architecture. What we say is an opportunity to educate opinions as to the importance of the built environment on a community's vitality and well being.
2012: The New Year

The New Year, for you perhaps, includes new responsibilities, a new position, or (considering) new resolutions.

Product Details
We're incredibly excited about the relaunch of the Ray-Ban Caravan. Originally introduced in 1957 (and to this day still assembled with materials made in Italy), the Caravan features a streamlined shape with well-defined lines and timeless styling (we think its smaller frame is the perfect alternative to the classic aviator shape).
Size & Fit Details
Ray-Ban® Caravan® sunglasses
Ray-Ban® Caravan® sunglasses is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jayweezy from More worried about the sunglasses ! As fate would have it, I was only able to wear them once. Unfortunately, my car was vandalized/stolen a few days after receiving my Caravans ! Hope the new owner appreciates the beauty and simplistic elegance of these wonderful shades (actually I don't) Guess I'll have to cop a new pair soon as they are a must have in my fashion book ! JCrew love 2016.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DizzFan from Fashionable and functional! These are my go-to shades for the office as well as the beach. Well-made, no glare, and they look great on me if I do say so myself! Highly recommended as an alternative to the traditional aviator shades...

Rated 5 out of 5 by SA62 from Perfect retro/cool glasses for all seasons These Ray Bans are the perfect alternative to the aviator style. A bit smaller, less round/more square and super flattering to just about any face shape. They're so light, you barely feel you're wearing sunglasses. And yet they do a great job of filtering out the sunlight. Great purchase!

Rated 4 out of 5 by kelmorg from great look This glasses are a nice shape and size. They aren't so 'over the top' looking like the regular aviators can appear.

Sold 160 acres to city fellow. He or someone he leased the place to has filled the drain ditch that went through the field and are farming that low area. What he has done is made a top soil "wash away". The ditch ( read rough spot ) let the water from higher ground drain through the area without much loss of soil. On each side of that ditch was a narrow strip of unfarmed ground ( dandy place for the quail nests ). The rough ground not being farmed is not farmed for a good reason.....hard pan ( won't grow anything ), old oil spill, old salt water spill, rocks near the surface that will tear up expensive machinery, boggy area where you get tractors etc. stuck ( it is not ready to work at the correct time, crop planted later in that area would not be ready at the correct time to harvest etc. ). If they know what they are doing there is probably a good reason for the going around that area. Now if you got some company buying up land and farming it they may send green hands into the field and work the whole field. Doesn't mean it's being done right.

Its amazing how people who have never been to Detroit much less lived there like to tell us, who did live and work there, that they are instant experts on the problems of Detroit. Then there is the rusto-porngraphers that come from the outside and photograph the old Packard plant as if it tells Detroit's story. It doesn't. To those who want to pin the decline of Detroit on their own particular political demons, you should study up before you pontificate and thus show you don't know Jack.

What has caused more long term destruction-
The A-bomb,
Government welfare programs created to buy the
Votes of those who want someone to take care of them?
Have Government programs caused Detroit to become what it is today? Has it contributed to Detroits downfall? It's is your post you need to defend those questions.
There are numerous reasons Detroit is where they are today, One of which is the auto industry which was that cities largest employer.There vision was flawed and their products were second rate.
Solely blaming Detroits downfall on "Liberalism fullfilled" is misleading at best
No I don't live in detroit, I live in Tn.(the US auto capital) and the US capital of the auto industry competes and is doing quite well. By the way nothing in the auto bailout helped nor was needed here. In fact probably hurt.

That is the order in which you'd have relations with these girls, but you use the original picture order as a reference. You'd relate the third girl from the left first, then the second, then the fourth, then the sixth, the first, and finally the fifth.

Tuned In: Discovery pans for gold with scripted 'Klondike'January 9, 2014 8:52 PM
PASADENA, Calif. -- Discovery Channel joins the growing ranks of cable networks offering original scripted programming with its miniseries "Klondike" (9 p.m. Jan. 20, 21 and 22).
The three-part, six-hour program is based on Charlotte Gray's 2010 book "Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike," a nonfiction account of the last gold rush in 1897. (A disclaimer on the miniseries states that some of the fictional characters, dialogue and events are inspired by real-life counterparts.)
This miniseries is essentially a Western with a murder mystery and romance as its prime components. "Klondike" follows recent college grad Bill Haskell (Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark on HBO's "Game of Thrones") and his best friend, Byron Epstein (Augustus Prew), as they travel to Dawson City in Canada's Yukon Territory to try to strike it rich at a Klondike gold claim.
Tragedy follows and soon Haskell is out for justice. Along the way he falls for an independent woman, Belinda Mulrooney (Abbie Cornish, "Seven Psychopaths"), befriends a priest (Sam Shepard, "The Right Stuff") and future novelist Jack London (Johnny Simmons, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower").
"Klondike," filmed in Calgary, Canada, offers beautiful scenery and vistas. Its story is relatively familiar as pioneer tales go -- there's nothing as soapy or politically intertwined as seen in AMC's "Hell on Wheels" or FX's "Justified" -- but it is a fairly entertaining yarn.
"Klondike" writer/executive producer Paul Scheuring ("Prison Break") said he created a character who dies early -- Haskell and Mulrooney are based on real people -- because he didn't think viewers would buy into the show if Haskell was only in the Klondike to get rich.
"I created that to serve the larger narrative so one thing that keeps Ben Haskell in the Klondike is he has unfinished business in terms of the mystery of [the murder]," Mr. Scheuring said during a press conference at the first day of the Television Critics Association winter 2014 press tour.
Dolores Gavin, a Discovery development executive, said the network's success with Alaska-set reality series, including "Gold Rush," played a role in making "Klondike" its first scripted project.
"Discovery is about man's relationship to nature, which is sometimes beautiful and sometime agonizing but the relationship in the end is always a meaningful one," she said.
Ms. Gavin also acknowledged that the success of History's "Hatfields & McCoys" miniseries in 2012 helped motivate the desire to get into scripted content. No future projects have been announced and there are no plans for a "Klondike" sequel.
"We had a natural beginning and end. You need to know when to say goodbye and let's find more stories," she said.
Ms. Gavin doesn't rule out a weekly, scripted series if that makes sense with a particular story topic or setting but she said Discovery has no weekly series in development.
Syfy returns to darker, less escapist fare with "Helix," debuting tonight at 10 with two back-to-back episodes. It's executive produced by Ron Moore of Syfy's "Battlestar Galactica" reboot but plays more like a somewhat tiresome cross between "The Walking Dead" and "The Thing."
While it's great to see Syfy attempting more grounded storytelling, "Helix" seems like it might make a better movie than an ongoing TV series that strings viewers along with a never-ending mystery.
Set at a private company's Arctic research station, the premiere episode uses the creepy convention of playing upbeat music ("Do You Know the Way to San Jose?") over tense, horrifying scenes as a virus of some sort infects the Arctic Biosystems researchers, including Peter Farragut (Neil Napier), brother of CDC scientist Dr. Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell, "The Killing"), who is sent with a team to the Arctic to figure out what's going on.
That team includes Alan's requisite ex-wife, Dr. Julia Walker (Kyra Zagorsky), who had an affair with Peter, and a new, young scientist, Dr. Sara Jordan (Jordan Hayes), who seems to revere Alan. There's also a military man, Maj. Sergio Balleseros (Mark Ghanime), and an odd duck scientist, Dr. Doreen Boyle (Catherine Lemieux), who steals every scene she's in despite a fluctuating Southern accent.
"This is going to be the most fracked up family reunion ever," Boyle says en route to the Arctic, a nod to the show's "Battlestar" pedigree.
Once there, the team encounters secrecy and lies from Dr. Hiroshi Hatake (Hiroyuki Sanada) and revelations begin to drip out about characters' murky agendas. (It's also quickly discovered that the illness, whatever it is, is not airborne, allowing the characters to shed their protective gear, the better to tell one character from another.)
"Helix" gets its moody atmosphere right but the ongoing plot seems tiresome without offering much momentum besides the deaths of anonymous Arctic Biosystems researchers. Instead of marauding zombies, infected researchers are the enemy in "Helix" and they go about their task of infecting and attacking others with gusto.
Perhaps in time "Helix" will develop into something more substantial but in its first two hours it sets up a lot of questions without providing answers or a compelling reason for viewers to stick with it.
'Kill' premiere date set
A&E's set and filmed-in-Pittsburgh drama series "Those Who Kill" has a premiere date: 10 p.m. March 3.

Day one and there were already several stories out of the Television Critics Association winter press tour with local connections, including Alicia Kozakiewicz, who was the victim of an Internet luring in 2002 when she was abducted and held captive for several days in another state. She'll return for an episode in the second season of Investigation Discovery's "Deadline: Crime With Tamron Hall," which returns in the spring.
Former Western Pennsylvania resident John Ligato, a 1972 graduate of Slippery Rock University, will be featured in an episode of "Against the Odds," a series about real-life bands of brothers in war who detail their experiences. Mr. Ligato was a Marine who fought in the Vietnam War.
"Against the Odds" will air on the American Heroes Channel, the renamed Military Channel, when the network relaunches March 3. The channel will focus on heroes in and out of uniform, including military, first responders and others who "inspire all of us as Americans," per a Discovery network executive.
I'll have more on these programs when they air.
HBO sneak previews
HBO showed TV critics the pilots of two new 2014 series Wednesday night: "The Leftovers," from "Lost" executive producer Damon Lindelof and based on the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta, about those left behind after an unexplained rapture-style event; and "Silicon Valley," a comedy about tech nerds from Mike Judge ("King of the Hill," "Beavis and Butt-head") that's reminiscent of Amazon.com's "Betas" but funnier.
Critics were asked not to review the pilots -- neither was a final edit -- but both offered intriguing debut episodes that made me eager to see more.

Corral is famous the world over for their head-turning designs and superior craftsmanship. Every pair is stylish, exotic, and built with pride. Founded in 1999, Corral Boots are a relative newcomer, but they've distinguished themselves with a wide variety of styles and colors. With an ever-growing number of designs, Corral is considered one of the world's premier boot makers. Every boot is handmade in Leon, Mexico and designed by the owner, Othel Welch. Welch has personally shadowed every position in the company and worked his way up to the top.
Corral Boots have set a standard for cutting-edge western fashion. They turned the western fashion world upside down by making boots with radically different colors, patterns, and designs – boots that look different from any others out there. It's hard to believe now, but Corral was one of the first companies to create a fashion boot using inlay and studs.
Due to the nature of working with natural and exotic leathers, each pair of handmade Corrals is unique. Corral cowboy boots are made with western fashion details, top grade leathers, and first class quality. Corral boots are handcrafted and hand-finished by the the most experienced boot makers in the world, so each boot is one of a kind!


text: Is selling on the internet the same as advertising on the internet? Just wondering there are a lot of sites that advertise litters, also many people advertise litters, but do not sell over the internet, buyer might sign up on a list for pick on an upcoming breeding, but the majority of pups are not sent out without buyers coming out to see the litter and pick their pups, and without seller meeting-approving the buyers . This seems to go under the radar of this rule, which appears to be protection for people who are charged and sent pups without ever seeing them, the condition they were raised in, or picking their pup. I don't see how many working dog breeders would fall under this rule, as there's so much buyer-seller interaction with working dog breeding. I've flown in to choose a pup, sure distance might prevent many from doing so, but I've never had a seller say NO you cannot come out; might be a red-flag if they did. Heck when I had a litter, I wanted the buyers to come out, buyers have too make it pass the inquisition after all.

text: Batman was always two individuals to me: the Dark Knight and Bruce Wayne. Some actors can pull off the super hero. Some can pull off the billionaire. Not too many could handle both. Michael Keaton: Bruce was better. Val Kilmer: better Batman. George Clooney: Bruce. Christian Bale: both, IMHO. Adam West: gets a pass, stamped "campy" all over it. I think Afleck would be a decent Bruce Wayne only, but his portrayal of the Penguin, Howard the Duck, or Darkwing Duck would've been a stronger casting (at least with G. Godfried as voice-over talent).

text: If you're looking for a white gold piece of jewelry, one should watch out for the stuff- according to Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America site, there's three grades of the stuff out there, each grade happens to be yellower than the previous. If you can find grade one jewelry (Not going to be cheap or easy- and it likely won't be from some place like Helzberg Diamonds...) you'll be okay as they don't end up Rhodium plating the stuff. Most of what passes for "white" gold these days apparently is of the low end of the grade two or solidly in the grade three slot. And they have the unmitigated GALL to charge larger sums of money for "white gold" when in reality, they're selling paled yellow gold with Rhodium plating. If you've not figured it out, my wife bought a white gold wedding band back five years ago for my Anniversary present, to replace my original band. The crown of the band has a distinctive yellow glint (Grade 3 "white" gold) from wear and tear. Basically, it was a poorer grade of jewelry and she paid quite a premium for it from...Helzberg. No, I'm not going to say they "gyped" her- a lot of their other things are quite nice and worth the price- just NOT the stuff they're selling as white gold. I bought a replacement wedding ring for Her for her birthday (When I had money...) last December, from Helzberg and they gave me the story about the Rhodium plating and that all white gold does this so I've been wondering since that time. Well, that's flatly untrue- it depends on what they use to kill the color. Traditionally, it was Platinum that was used to make white gold- you don't need a Rhodium plating on that stuff unless you want it really bright and shiny and don't want to bother with the polishing effort on the work to get it there. However, they also use stuff like Nickel (which is where people come up with stories about "White Gold Allergies" and the yellowing comes from- it's a cheap replacement for the noble metal whitening agents, but it needs a Rhodium plating of some sort to make it that brilliant white we associate with White Gold. It's the cheap stuff, and many of the jewelers just don't have the guts to admit that while it IS still gold, and it is sort of white, that it's just not the White Gold that your mother had.

Obama's pay czar to discuss ethics and faith
Posted February 25, 2010; 04:12 p.m.
Kenneth Feinberg, who was appointed last year by President Barack Obama as the U.S. Treasury Department's "pay czar," will speak at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 2, in 101 McCormick Hall.
The event is titled "America's Pay Czar on Ethics, Faith and Executive Compensation: A Conversation With Kenneth Feinberg, Special Master for Executive Compensation." Feinberg will be interviewed by David Miller, director of Princeton's Faith and Work Initiative, on issues of ethics and faith related to his current role as well as his broader views on corporate governance and the role of business in society.
Obama appointed Feinberg to oversee all forms of compensation of senior executives and highly paid employees at seven firms that received exceptional assistance under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Feinberg, a well-known Washington lawyer, previously served as the special master of the federal Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund.
Feinberg will be accompanied by Robert Johnson, deputy special master for TARP executive compensation and adviser on executive compensation and corporate governance to senior officials at the Department of the Treasury.
The event is sponsored by the Faith and Work Initiative, under the auspices of the Center for the Study of Religion. It is part of the initiative's ongoing public series offering conversations with CEOs and thought leaders about faith, ethics and leadership in the executive suite.

Camping teaches self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of camp fires, bugle calls, canoeing, archery, talent shows, and meaningful relationships. Y counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper.
