Greetings my fellow Canadians,
Today, I went to pick up my shipment of five figures from www.toymaniacs.com from my local post office when I was told by the post-office lady that I had to pay $13.53 cutoms for US to Canada goods. Outraged, for never experiencing this charge before, I had to pay up in order to receive my goodies.
I used to order lots from the Star Wars fan club without having to pay customs. What's the difference between ordering from the Fan club and from Toymaniacs anyway? Someone please tell me.
The post-office lady told me that I was "lucky" in the past because the customs guys at the border didn't check the boxes properly or something, but this time, I was unlucky.
Angered and irritated, I decided to go on a crazy shopping frenzy at the mall across the street, hoping to find great buys to compensate for my expensive internet purchase.
The result, I went into 3 different stores and found the following:
-Death Star Trooper accessory kit at Zellers
-Luke with Landspeeder at TRU, and only for $14.98 CAN!
-Bespin Luke with weathervane, also at TRU
-Luke in Bacta Tank at Walmart, on sale for $5 bucks!
Now I don't feel AS ripped off, but I am truly greatful for finding these, and all at once too.
Anyways... enough ranting and bragging, take care.
...And becareful next time you order from the Internet.

Stash claimed.
I didn't hate INDY, but I didn't love it. I DID think it was better than Temple of Doom, though, which was all I was hoping for, so ultimately, I enjoyed the movie. In fact, I'd be more inclined to pull Temple out of the set than KOTCS.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Saw the Battle Rancor at Target today. I would've stashed one but I don't think it's going to be physically possible. They also had the Mygeeto battle pack. And it looks like they had the Titanium Man figure from Iron Man but I missed out. Curses!
Grabbed a pair of Mygeeto BP's on the way to work tonight. I think it's a nice set if you're not planning to open it. It fits right in with the previous Jedi/Clone Commander sets...Mace, Aayla, etc...
Saw the Rancor too. That thing is HUGE.
I'm gonna open one of mine too. I think it's a decent set, but the other I'll keep boxed.
Had a decent Target run at lunchtime. Picked up the CARS Tow Cap / Gasprin & PT Flea / Flick sets and the IRON MAN Titanium Man.
Edit: Mygeeto claimed. Titanium Man (non-mint card) still available. Central San Fernando Valley Target. PM for details!
Stashed a Mygeeto BP at Redondo Beach Galleria Target. PM for the info.

Ranking college basketball's best current programs: 16-20
College basketball loves its history, but there are a lot of different things that go into making a modern-day program into one of the nation's best. How you choose to prioritize those things will lead to significant debate over the overall ranking of programs as they sit today. On Monday, we listed the programs that just missed the cut. Today, we present the programs ranked 16 through 20.
No. 20 Gonzaga
Pluses: Established, 15-year run of success, excellent coach/continuity, growing potential to attract national-level talent, only show in town, great brand
Minuses: Still dealing with a mid-major league even with a high-major budget, lack of relative postseason success to validate overall performance
Criticism of the Zags in this spot are that the program basically has peaked. Reaching No. 1 in the nation last season, the perception of the program will only change if they make a Final Four, and that's more or less a crapshoot most seasons. They have an excellent coach who seems happy to stay there for the duration, they dominate a decent league to gain annual access to the NCAAs, and regularly test themselves against excellent out-of-conference competition. Bottom line: The Zags have a great basketball brand and almost every program in the nation would take their last decade and a half and the future that appears bright in front of them. If they ever get co-opted by a bigger conference ...
No. 19 Illinois
Pluses: Only major program in the state (sorry, Northwestern, at least until the Collins Era really gets going), access to Chicago's recruiting area, good staff in place, good commitment to hoops, strong history
Minuses: Chicago can be a tricky recruiting ground and Champaign isn't that close to it, Big Ten is brutal, not as much recent success as the program should have had (toward the end of the Bruce Weber era)
Why'd Illinois finish ahead of Maryland (No. 20.5 on this list)? In thinking about the two schools once they're both in the Big Ten, Illinois feels like the slightly better choice to maintain upper-division success in a monster league. John Groce and Co. are making recruiting inroads and bringing in more talent, and nine-figure renovations to Assembly Hall (rechristening it as State Farm Center in the process) are coming. Maybe the images of the Flyin' Illini from the late '80s and the Deron Williams/Dee Brown 2005 team trump Maryland's best in my mind, but I'm still not sure I have the right order between these two and Gonzaga.
No. 18 Michigan
Pluses: Strong sports school with upside for men's hoops, excellent coach, improving recruiting pull
Minuses: Haven't cared as much about hoops as they should, extended dry period before Beilein, really tough league with an in-state rival with an elite program
If things continue the way they have been moving under John Beilein, this ranking will look low next fall. Coming off a national title game appearance, the Wolverines should be very strong again this season, and Beilein is proving he can bring national talent to Ann Arbor. The Fab Five may have run into NCAA issues, but those teams remain some of the most iconic in the game's past 25 years. With monster programs Michigan State, Ohio State and (potentially) Indiana in the conference, as well as annual contender Wisconsin, this isn't an easy place to stay among the elite. That said, Michigan's been about potential for years, and finally is tapping into it.
No. 17 Georgetown
Pluses: Great basketball brand and history, strong budget, location/recruiting area, status as potential best program in the new Big East
Minuses: Recent postseason flops, move away from ESPN to lesser-watched Fox Sports 1 with new Big East TV deal
The Hoyas have become an easy punching bag for five straight NCAA tournament losses to double-digit seeds, including this past season as a 2-seed to Florida Gulf Coast. The postseason disasters have obscured a really, really strong run for the Hoyas, who have garnered five top-three seeds in the last seven seasons and made the Final Four in 2007. Now, they move with the other Catholic schools to the new Big East and look to be an agenda-setting heavyweight in that conference. The league should remain pretty good, with historic bottomfeeders having a chance to improve in a less daunting league and new imports like Xavier, Creighton and Butler adding solid depth with upside quality. The Hoyas, who spent over $10 million on hoops in 2011-12, may be more positioned to weather a TV exposure downturn with the move to Fox given their national brand, legacy of success and some quality nonleague games.
No. 16 Texas
Pluses: Huge athletic budget, relative lack of pressure to succeed, tremendous location/recruiting area, solid history
Minuses: Relatively weak fan interest, current coach losing the recruiting touch in-state, current performance is waning badly There's no reason for Texas to be this low. After an extended run of success, Rick Barnes has won just two NCAA tournament games in the last six seasons and is staring another non-NCAA season squarely in the face with a very mediocre roster. Barnes hasn't been able to keep up with the Texas recruiting scene, and has started consistently losing in-state talent to other programs, some not nearly Texas' equal. The good news is that Texas' issues are eminently fixable. Either Barnes recharges his approach, starts getting (and keeping) better players, and starts winning on a level consummate with the platform, or the school can make a coaching change and have a ton of very qualified options from which to choose. This could be the college hoops job opening of 2014 if things go as expected this season and the school decides to make a change.

Dublexo Deluxe Sofa with Arms, Steel Base
Innovation Living
Innovate. Evolve. Surprise. Innovation was founded in 1971 in Denmark by Flemming Hoejfeldt, who is still the owner and Chairman of the company. Inspired by his personal experience with the first production communities of the flower power generation, he started the company with a production of beanbags. For 15 years Innovation functioned as a supplier for the furniture industry, but at the end of the 80's the desire to produce its own designs took over.
The company began its new direction with a competition among design students at the School of Architecture in Aarhus and ended up with a concept for contemporary sofa sleepers. As the concept grew, Innovation was rewarded with several design prizes and engaged in a very fruitful cooperation with the famous Danish designer, Verner Panton.
Innovation USA was founded in 1991 and today is an international furniture enterprise with production facilities in Denmark and China. Their designs are available around the globe.
As an international company, Innovation considers it their duty to contribute to better working conditions and a cleaner environment for all. Innovation has a certified environmental profile and all recyclable waste, like cardboard, plastic, iron and metal, is separated and used in other productions. Residual, combustible waste is incinerated in low-pollution plants. Packaging is reduced to the minimum needed for safe transportation. By embracing their environmental responsibility, Innovation designs have a clear vision for the future. Now that's evolved.
Per Weiss was born in 1959 in Denmark and is the Director of Innovation Design Office International. As an all-round creative person, he started his career as a professional musician, while already studying at the School of Architecture in Aarhus. Then giving a higher priority to his design visions, he worked for Danish architects, Friis & Moltke and Schmidt-Hammer & Lassen. In 1988 he graduated as an industrial designer. Since 1989 Per Weiss has been the head of Innovation Design Office and responsible for concept, product design and marketing. Per Weiss likes to express his creativity on a variety of platforms.
"My approach to industrial design is multiple and holistic. Design cannot be seen as an isolated mission and the creative process should not be fragmented by artificial professional boundaries. This is why I work full scale conceptual, starting with strategy and trend-spotting over design and graphics to photography and layout. Inspiration and insight grows out of this dynamic working situation, shaping designs that actually affect the target group."View other products by Per Weiss

Let's count how many times I am going to use the word "sell-off" today.
Of the ten emerging market currencies that have experienced the largest falls against the dollar since August 8, seven are commodity currencies (Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Chile, Malaysia and Indonesia), according to data compiled by Capital Economics.
Peru has been spared, thanks to a central bank that is perceived to be more willing than others to defend its currency. Peruvian sol lost only 0.3% against the dollar since August 8, versus its commodities neighbors Chilean peso's 2.1%, or Columbian peso's 0.6%, loss.
iShares MSCI All Peru Capped ETF (EPU) lost 2%, outperforming iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) (-2.8%). By comparison, iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF (ECH) dropped 3.3% since August 8.
EPU is starting to behave like a mining ETF lately – that is, surging. Month-to-date, EPU gained 8.7%, tracking First Trust ISE Water Index Fund Global Copper Index Fund (CU)'s gain of 7.9%. Correlation between EPU and CU have increased, with the movement of CU explaining 66% of the movement of EPU in the last three months. For reference purposes, three-year historical correlation was only 43%. Correlation with Market Vectors ETF Trust Gold Miners ETF Fund (GDX) also increased, to 33% from historical 22%. GDX gained 11.3% this month.

Tutorial Details: Parallel Programming Using MPI
|Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 10:00 am - 04:00 pm
|575 Walter
|David H Porter, MSI, Hakizumwami Birali Runesha, MSI
This one-day workshop on MPI will help researchers write better and portable parallel codes for distributed-memory machines like Linux clusters, such as MSI's 248-core Intel-based cluster (Calhoun), the 1,000-core AMD cluster (Blade), and the SGI Altix Itanium-based shared-memory system. It will focus on basic point-to-point communication and collective communications, which are the most commonly used MPI routines in high-performance scientific computation. In addition, the advantage of using MPI non-blocking communication will be introduced. Each session of the workshop will combine a lecture with hands-on practice. The lecture will introduce basic principles, and the hands-on portion will focus on the use of MPI principles via examples.
Session One: Introduction to basic concepts of "MPI is Small," centering on point-to-point communication.
Session Two: MPI collective communications including broadcast, gather, scatter, and Alltoall. Programming will be done in Fortran and C, so any background in these two languages will be helpful.
|Familiarity with UNIX/Linux and knowledge of Fortran, C, or C++

ukflyer gave to XXL (at Pulse) in LondonProbably the best regular Saturday night out for gay men in LondonWhilst ostensibly a bears night, XXL attracts a broad crowd from bears to displaced Vauxhall shirts-off muscle clubbers. The music in the main room may be a bit heavy on The Freemasons for some and this is not the place to hear cutting edge sounds, but overall this a great night out. Pulse is of a good size with spacious bar areas and an attitude free crowd. There is also a dark room which is a rarity for the UK. At a time when London's gay clubs have experienced mixed fortunes, XXL is now probably the most consistently reliable Saturday club night for all gay men in London. For anyone new to, or visiting, London this a great club to meet people.
Event in London
Not quite fulfilling its potential, but worth a lookI visited this club on a Saturday night, which is dedicated to house music. The club was certainly busy enough. The crowd was almost exclusively male and mainly late 20s/early 30s and more shirts-on, than shirts-off. It's a nice venue with good lighting. However, the placement of the DJ box above a LED screen on the mezzanine floor does detach the DJ from the crowd. For a Saturday night, I think a bit more in terms of production (go-go dancers etc) is warranted. Overall, it's a nice venue, and worth considering a visit. But it's not quite a place to lose yourself on a Saturday night.
Event in Cologne
ukflyer answered "Hello all! I'm gonna be in London between June 17-30 and was wondering is you guys can suggest ..."29-30 June is Pride weekend so there will be a lot of events on that weekend - full details will be in Boyz and QX magazines. Popular bars in Soho are The Edge on Soho Square, The Green Carnation on Greek Street, ManBar on Charing Cross Road. By day, Room Service is the "see and be seen" party at Miabella on Thursday night, G-A-Y at Heaven is an unashamedly pure pop night on a Saturday night. Also on a Saturday night is XXL at Pulse in Southwark. We Party is also a big occasional Saturday night at The Coronet Theatre in Elephant Castle (think circuit party crowd). On a Sunday morning, Beyond is popular after hours party at Area in Vauxhall. Also in Vauxhall, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern is a popular cabaret venue, particularly on Sunday afternoons. Finally, Horse Meat Disco is a disco night at The Eagle in Vauxhall (gets extremely busy on holiday weekends). It's good advice is to check listings and where possible buy advance tickets on busy weekends to beat queues and avoid higher door charges.

Publick Occurrences Forum Addresses Security Vs. Privacy
Ebony Reed, Associated Press assistant chief of bureau/New England; Timothy Edgar, visiting fellow, Brown University's Watson Institute; and Peter Gaynor, director of the Providence Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security.
Are Americans giving up too much privacy to protect their security?
That was the topic of the first of this year's Publick Occurrences, a series of public service forums sponsored by The Providence Journal in partnership with Rhode Island College and Leadership Rhode Island.
The forum, which was held at RIC, drew more than 200 audience members who came to see eight panelists from various professions give their views, and field audience questions on issues of privacy and security in the digital age.
"I live at the local level of all of this," said Peter Gaynor, director of the Providence Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. "We want to make sure we have a balance, because we want to be trusted in everything we do."
Gaynor was speaking specifically about street-level, public safety cameras, which he said is a "single tool" that makes his agency's job easier, but the evening's conversation covered everything from federal government spying to tools and tips to stop internet programs from tracking online shopping.
Some conversation was inspired by the Edward Snowden scandal involving his exposure of spying by the National Security Agency.
Timothy Edgar, visiting fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute, said his "basic point" is that the government should be more transparent about how it collects and handles information from U.S. citizens.
"Alarm bells should be going off in the minds of everyone," said Edgar, who was the first director of privacy and civil liberties for the White House national security staff under President Barack Obama.
Heather Egan Sussman, a partner with law firm McDermott, Will & Emory, LLP., which is headquartered in Chicago, Ill., participated in a panel that addressed how retailers track customer information and said that practice largely depends on the retailer.
Sussman told the audience there are many tactics they can use, including using the search engine DuckDuckDuckgo.com, which, she said, does not track users or collect data.
"There are (ways) to take back some control," Sussman said. "Consumers need to educate themselves."
Audience members were invited to take part in a series of anonymous polling questions, including whether they considered Snowden to be a hero or traitor (the audience at first voted traitor but changed to hero at the end of the evening), whether the government should be able to monitor conversations journalists have with their sources (the audience voted no), and if they would be willing to give up reward cards benefits to prevent retailers from sharing shopping habits (yes).
Karen Bordeleau, senior vice president and executive editor of The Providence Journal, moderated the forum.
The Publick Occurrences series next will explore "How does Obamacare affect you?" on Oct. 3 and "Young Men and Guns: How do we stop the violence?" on Nov. 7. Both events take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in Sapinsley Hall in RIC's Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts.

Check out Track of the Wolf, Wayne, they list a couple fowlers and all the parts to make your own, if that's the road you want to take. They also have kits and finished guns. When I was still building a lot of guns, I used them quite a bit. They are in MN and are fast at getting you what you need at a good price. They have lots of locks, barrels, stocks (inletted or blanks), all kinds of funiture parts, finishes, and all your supplys. What ever you need, if they don't have it they will send you to the place to get what you need?

Wich is more than I can say for the current POTUS.
The current POTUS is giving aide to the terrorist by weaking our Secret Service and by not trying the 9/11 terrorist in Military Court.
Obama's manufactored crisis include but not limited to; Health Care and his coming Cap and Trade bill, the UAW and banking bailouts.

How did Bush make us safer before 9/11. From the looks of things Al Queda did not make any more plans to blow something up in the U.S. unless you count the crack heads in Miami who were talking about blowing up the Sears Tower in Chicago, who didn't have any explosives and were just talking crap.
And about the secret service, everything the bush administration did was secret. Just look at all the times Bush claimed Executive Privilege.
Anything else Bush might have done good like coming up with a health care solution? or leaving the country with a balanced budget? How about capturing Osama Bin Laden? Did Bush keep people employed and how about the home foreclosures, did he keep people from loosing their houses? How about all the banks and financial institutes that went out of business? and small business owners that had to close their doors?
P.S. If you're going to use a quote in your sig you should really use one thats credible and not just from CapitalHillBlue's website.
Oh, and as far as the Bush quote, he would have only made the remark among his republican coharts, not in a public statement, and if his quote leaked out, reporters do not have to name sources as in the "deep throat" informer in the Nixon case.

I didn't like W's declaration of weapons of mass destruction. I figured he was trying to finish Daddy Bush's war and to protect "our" oil. I dislike Obama's presidency even more.
Were either Potus told that Air Force One doesn't give Frequent Flyer Coupons?

Good point, Richard. Cannot remember the last time I voted FOR a presidential candidate rather than AGAINST one. That is sad, but I am afraid too true for many of us. Still, I believe our biggest challenge is who we vote for in our congressional races-much more important than the presidency in my opinion, regarding our nation's direction.
Can any manufactured crisis hold a candle to WMD's?
Thank you very much Mr's former Potus, former VP, and (unfortunetly, not so former) Congress. We'll be paying for that one for a very long time.

With the stellar release of the ROTJ wave (Gams, Acks, Lukes, Ewoks) closing out 2010, I've been thinking of two questions, when will I stop collecting and what am I going to do with my collection if I ever lose interest in it?
I'd like to hear other members thoughts also, but if you'll indulge me, here are mine....
Whenever the better releases of figures come out, I typically give my kids the older versions of the former figures (sort of selfish I guess, but they don't care...we still buy them new figures too, so it's all good). My 4 year old is very much SW crazy right now and his 9 year old sister still likes them too, but that won't last long for her. I see them still wanting figures for at least another 3-5 years.
I keep a few of my favorites in my office under 2 protective display cases (the rest in storage). I teach theatre design at a small university, so my peers and students think my extensive toy collection makes sense. I get alot of inspiration from the SW universe (and most anything 80s). With my job, any source helps!
One case is exclusively ROTJ, centered around the new Jabba/throne (add the old tongue from the last Jabba for extra awesomeness, it fits in the far left corner of his mouth nicely). I need a bigger case now as more skiff thugs get released and I'd like to see this new Luke done again with vest, cloak, and ungloved right hand. (I need to get the newer version of skiff Lando too, the POTF one looks antiquated now)
The other case is a series of what I call "showdowns," Bespin Luke vs removable helmet Vader, Jango vs Obi Wan, QGJ vs Tattoine Maul, Biker Scout vs Wicket, Storm Solo vs Storm, etc.... I'd like to get a few more figures for this collection along with a larger case too. Some of my figures in storage could go in the bigger case for this theme.
I will never stop collecting OT figures as long as the quality remains high, but don't have much more interest in the PT figures beyond the major characters (pretty much all done in their definitive versions: QGJ, Obi, Anakin, etc.). I may be done with the PT once (if ever) they release the solo version of evolutions Maul. I missed collecting the ANH Solo (my favorite character) and once I get a super great Solo I'll consider myself happy. My hopes are high for the pending Bespin Solo.
If my kids want them, I guess I leave the collection to them. Or, most likely I can see grandkids wanting to have my stuff. I imagine SW will live on with future generations assuming society still values imagination in 20 - 30 years.... Eventually, my collection will probably only be special to me, but no matter, escapism, fantasy, and childhood dreams are important ingredients to keeping other human virtues tasty, namely imagination, creativity, and storytelling. The power of myth and metaphor are, fundamentally, what makes our species superior to all others. We can do more than survive and exist, we can make survival and existance better.

Lately, in what should be my part-time occupation for the next few months, I've been setting up a couple of HP Proliant DL380 G4 servers in addition to an HP MSA1000 fibre channel disk array. The idea in this case is to have both servers (henceforth the DL380s) working independently while sharing the storage space provided on the disk array (henceforth the MSA1000) and hopefully having some sort of load balancing going on between the two. Despite some limited experience using and configuring Linux systems in the past few years, this comes as a new and refreshing challenge for me, considering these are enterprise class servers, something I've never had a change to directly deploy from the ground up and maintain.
DL380 G4s and the MSA1000 The next few posts are then intended to provide a first hand account of the path I'll be walking during the setup of these systems, which will hopefully be useful both for me later on and whoever comes stumbling across this page looking for information on how to setup these or similar systems. Compiling a new kernel In order to better understand and get acquainted with the servers, I've decided to go for a test run with a Debian-based Linux distribution, called Alinex, which is developed here at the University of Evora. Later on, when most configuration stages are figured out, this will become a regular Debian installation instead of this slightly different flavour. Because the kernel that ships with Alinex is not SMP-enabled, a new kernel is needed to take advantage of the two Intel Xeon 3.8Ghz processors inside each server. There's also the need to support the fibre channel adaptar, as well as the Gigabit Ethernet adapters, etc. Fortunately, most distros attempt to have as many kernel options set for compilation as modules, so using the distro's .config file is a good idea. Later on, the goal will be to have a thin all statically compiled kernel. The only exceptions, then, were support for the fibre channel driver and SMP. The former must have generic FC support enabled under Network Device Support and the qla2xxx driver should be configured to compile as a module (it didn't seem to work built into the kernel, as it wouldn't recognize the firmware upon boot) under SCSI Device Support and SCSI low-level drivers. This driver needs to have the firmware image placed in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware so it gets found and used by the adapter at boot time. This image - and others for similar qlogic adapters - can be found at: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware In this case, the correct firmware image for the qla2312 adaptar is ql2300_fw.bin. This information can be found in the help page of the driver in the kernel configuration:
21xx ql2100_fw.bin 22xx ql2200_fw.bin 2300, 2312, 6312 ql2300_fw.bin 2322, 6322 ql2322_fw.bin 24xx ql2400_fw.bin
Configuring the MSA1000 disk array Once the DL380s are up and running, attention turns to the MSA1000 disk array which needs to be setup. To do that, the easiest way seems to be using the old-fashioned serial port access method to connect to the MSA1000 command line interface (CLI) facility. In this case, HP provides a serial to ethernet RJ45Z cable, which can seem weird at first because it won't fit in a regular ethernet port. This should be connected to the front of the MSA1000 controller while the serial should obviously be connected to the host. Here, I'll be using the DL380 itself to configure the disk array. Communication can be achieved with any terminal emulator, for instance Hyper Terminal under Windows or minicom under Linux. Both have worked for me, although minicom has a minor quirk in the default configuration which kept me from accessing the CLI at all. Also, instead of the usual 9600 baud rate, this one runs at 19200. So, minicom should be configured using the following parameters:
Serial Device: /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever the serial port used happens to be) Bps/Part/Bits: 19200 8N1 Hardware Flow Control: No (important! default is Yes) Software Flow Control: No
Also, the kernel needs to support the serial port in order to do this. Once minicom is set up in this way, hitting Enter after it opens will drop you the CLI shell:
The CLI has extensive help facilities so every possible command has a verbose explanation of its doing by simply using the help command. There's also extensive documentation from HP on the MSA1000, in particular the HP StorageWorks 1000/1500 Modular Smart Array Command Line Interface User Guide

Iowa pioneers efforts to stop fraudulent solicitations
Program tapes conversations, fines callers for making fraudulent statements
As the holiday season arrives, the only thing more obvious than the post-Thanksgiving turkey lethargy is the impending onslaught of end-of-year charitable solicitations -- except in Iowa, where the number of those calls that are fraudulent has been dramatically decreased thanks to a program run by the Consumer Protection Division inside the Iowa Attorney General's Office.
For the last two decades, Iowa residents besieged by telemarketers and charitable fundraisers have turned their phone numbers over to the state's top law enforcement agency. An employee there follows scripts when the phone rings and tapes the conversations.
"Our jobs are to protect our constituents, to protect Iowans, and we don't like to see any Iowan victimized by a scam," William Brauch, the special assistant attorney general who runs that division, said. "At the same time, we are pleased that it is so blatant that they've lied in the way that they have because we have great evidence then."
Charitable organizations are required to register with the state of Iowa if they're raising money there.
Brauch said they compare what they hear on the phone call with what the nonprofits have disclosed.
Fraudulent statements can lead to injunctive relief and court orders saying if it happens again, it can lead to fines, jail time or both.
"The stories they tell are convincing and it comes to you out of the blue when your phone rings," Brauch said. "You're just not prepared to raise questions about it and that's where people fall prey. They don't stop and think. They don't say, 'Wait a minute. Where are you from? Can you send me something in the mail?'"
Iowa has legislation that allows one of the parties in a phone conversation to record it without the knowledge of the other participant. When FBI agents raided telemarketing operations in Florida years ago, Brauch said there were signs on the boiler room cubicles which read, "Don't call Iowa."
"That tells us it's working," he said. "When we know the word is out across the scammer community that says we're having an impact."
At the Iowa Welcome Center in Dubuque, Christine Schmidt said the nationwide problem of telemarketers and charitable fundraisers is not much of a problem in her home state.
"There's maybe one here or there, but it's rare to get them," she said. "It's really nice."
Brauch said it's hard to quantify how many phone calls they've prevented from coming to Iowa phones, but that they've recovered millions of dollars in fines through the years. It costs the department roughly $100 a month to run the program, including money for the undercover phone line, a P.O. Box and occasional $5 or $10 purchases to various nonprofits to get on fundraiser lists.
Wisconsin has the same "one-party consent" taping law as Iowa, but Brauch said only one other state implements the same program Iowa is using. The Department of Financial Institutions this month took over the regulation of charitable organizations in Wisconsin and the Department of Justice investigates consumer fraud.
"The DOJ's consumer protection unit uses a number of different investigative techniques to determine whether a business is acting outside of the law," Dana Brueck, communications officer for Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said in an email to News3. "Those techniques, however, we do not typically discuss, as doing so could compromise future investigative efforts. We regularly bring enforcement actions based upon marketing misrepresentations and/or do-not-call violations."
Wisconsin consumers who want to report questionable practices are encouraged to call DFI at 608-267-7111.

G1107, Reviewed October 1993
A warm confinement livestock building is one that is closed, insulated and operated in a way that keeps inside temperatures higher than and independent of outside temperatures during winter months. A mechanical ventilation system is an essential part of the warm confinement building.
A good ventilation system must
Each of these four provisions requires some optimum rate of air exchange. However, if respiration and temperature control are provided for, moisture build-up and disease control will be satisfactory.
The basic process that occurs with all successful ventilation systems is as follows:
Failure to provide for any part of this process will result in failure of the ventilation system.
During winter months, heat is the energy that makes a ventilation system work. Heat added to cool outside air increases its temperature and its ability to hold moisture. About 1,200 Btu of heat energy are required to evaporate each pound of free moisture removed by the ventilation system.
Mature and growing animals produce enough heat to operate a ventilation system if insulation is used to reduce heat losses. Maternity buildings and other facilities to house young animals require supplemental heat to maintain an optimum environment during winter. Supplemental heat may also improve the ventilation system performance in poorly insulated growing or production facilities. However, this practice has never proven to be economical on a long-range basis.
Minimum insulation levels for buildings where artificial heat is not required are:
Increasing energy costs have made increased insulation economical in any building where artificial heat will be used to maintain a desired environment. Minimum insulation levels for maternity buildings, farrowing houses and brooding facilities are:
Resistance (R) is a measure of a given material's ability to resist the flow of heat through it. The higher the resistance number, the better an insulation material is. All insulating materials sold today have a resistance value marked either on the package or on the material itself.
Several publications on insulation of agricultural buildings are available through your local MU Extension center.
Air requirements vary with animal size and outside environmental conditions. The ideal ventilation system would be infinitely variable. During extremely cold weather, it should move just enough air to satisfy respiration needs, and in hot weather, the maximum rate should eliminate heat stress. Unfortunately, the equipment and control cost for such a system is prohibitive today.
A ventilation system should be designed to provide at least three levels of air movement. The lowest, or minimum, level provides enough air to meet respiration requirements and operates continuously. This lowest level provides all the air necessary during periods of extremely cold weather or in buildings where a supplemental heating system is in operation. A thermostat may be used to shut off the minimum level in the unlikely event that building temperature drops to near freezing.
The second, or intermediate, level of ventilation provides enough additional air movement to control both temperature and moisture during normal winter conditions. Fans that provide this additional air are usually controlled by thermostats that turn them on whenever building temperature reaches the desired level.
The high, or maximum, ventilation rate is intended to provide some degree of temperature control during summer months. Maximum rate fans are controlled by thermostats that turn them on when interior temperature exceeds some set level, usually 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Table 1 presents the recommended ventilation rates for several different types of livestock. The rates shown are totals required for each level and not additive. This means that a total of 120 cubic feet per minute of air (cfm) per 250-pound pig is required for summer ventilation. This would be delivered by a winter minimum fan providing 10 cfm, a winter average fan providing 25 cfm and a summer fan providing 85 cfm, all operating to make up the total of 120 cfm.
Table 1Recommended ventilation rates for livestock in warm confinement buildings
Ventilation rates based on animal weight or per animal tend to eliminate animal density as a factor in ventilation system performance. Rates based on air changes per hour for the building neglect the variation in animal heat and moisture production associated with different housing densities. For example, a 40-by-200-foot poultry house containing 10,000 birds in cages needs a different ventilation rate than the same building with 4,000 birds in a floor operation.
The summer rates given in Table 1 provide a reasonable degree of temperature control at an economical operational level. Higher rates provide slightly lower temperatures; however, they can not be economically justified.
The desired room temperatures indicated provide a basis for adjustment of the fans that provide intermediate levels. The temperatures given are those that give optimum animal performance.
Most of the agricultural ventilation systems installed today are exhaust-type systems. These systems use exhaust fans to provide a partial vacuum within the building that causes fresh air to enter.
Fans used in livestock buildings are subjected to a dusty and corrosive environment. They must be designed and constructed to withstand these conditions or they will not perform satisfactorily. When selecting fans for your farm, make sure they are designed for agricultural use. Look for sealed motors and bearings, heavy duty blades and solid construction.
Ventilation fans must work against a partial vacuum and often exhaust into an oncoming wind. They must be capable of delivering a rated capacity against these load conditions. The load is referred to as static pressure, and fans selected should be able to deliver the required volume of air against 1/8 inch of static pressure. This is the amount of pressure required to raise a column of water 1/8 inch. It is not much pressure, but it is not uncommon for the air delivery of a poorly designed fan to decrease by 25 to 30 percent when subjected to this pressure as compared to their delivery against no pressure.
The Air Moving and Conditioning Association (AMCA) is an independent organization that tests and rates fans. Fans that carry the AMCA rating will deliver the rated amount of air under normally expected operational conditions.
In modern, well-constructed farm buildings, fans provide the vacuum that causes fresh air to enter the building. They are not relied on to provide air distribution as they were in older, poorly constructed buildings. Because of this, fan location is not a critical item in system design. They should be located where they are convenient to install and service and out of reach of the animals housed in the structure. The recommended maximum distance from the farthest corner of the ventilated area to the nearest fan is 125 to 150 feet. This restriction prevents the accumulation of large masses of warm, stale air in the area adjacent to the fan.
Fans that are intended to cycle on and off should be equipped with louvers. Louvers prevent the entry of cold air and birds during periods when the fan is not operating. They should also have protective guarding or screening to prevent injuries to either animals or people who work around them.
The most commonly used fan controller is the reverse acting thermostat, which is simply a temperature-activated on/off switch. "Reverse acting" means it turns on when temperature rises, while the heating type thermostat turns off when temperature rises.
Controls must also contend with the dusty, corrosive agricultural environment and should be selected on the basis of their ability to do this.
Table 2 lists some of the fan controls and their use.
Table 2Controls used for fans in agricultural ventilation systems
The air inlet is the most important part of the ventilation system. It provides both control and distribution of fresh air entering the building. Poorly designed or maintained inlets are the number one cause of ventilation system failure. There are two things every good inlet must have:
The most popular type of inlet for exhaust ventilation systems is the adjustable slot inlet. It consists of a continuous slot area open to a source of fresh air with some type of adjustable board or baffle to control its width. Slots are usually located along the long dimension of the building at the junction of the wall and ceiling. They may also be located in the ceiling itself — usually down the center of the building. Figures 1a and 1b illustrate cross sections of some commonly used slots.
Slot width is designed based on the amount of air it will deliver when there is a static pressure differential of 0.04 inches across it. At this pressure differential, a 1-inch wide, 1-foot long slot will deliver 50 cfm. A 2-inch wide slot will deliver 100 cfm per foot of length and a 3-inch slot, 150 cfm.
General recommendations for slot locations are:
Slot design problem. A 28-by-100-foot building is used to finish 300 hogs to 250 pounds. Find the width of a single slot inlet to provide ventilation air for the building.
Step 1300 hogs at 250 pounds will require a maximum of 36,000 cfm for summer ventilation (from Table 1)
Step 236,000 ÷ 200 feet of slot = 180 cfm per foot of slot.
Step 3A 1-inch slot width provides 50 cfm per foot. Therefore, 180 ÷ 50 = 3.6 inches of width required for this slot.
If the same slot is used for a winter inlet, it will have to be partially closed to accommodate the lower air requirements.
Ventilation systems in buildings with slotted floors and manure storage areas must be modified to prevent build-up of toxic gases. Toxic gases are either lighter than air or heavier than air. Gases lighter than air rise up into the animal housing area and are rapidly diluted and removed by the normal ventilation system. You don't need to make special provisions to remove these gases from the housing unit.
Gases heavier than air tend to build up in the manure pit and then move up into the housing area where their weight keeps them next to the floor. These gases can be diluted and removed from the building by exhausting the winter minimum ventilation rate through the manure pit. This can be accomplished by either locating the winter minimum fans in the manure pit or by constructing an exhaust air duct from the pit to the minimum level fans. Although heavy gases in the pit will flow to the exhaust fan or duct, some distribution of outlets is desirable in larger buildings. The maximum distance from the farthest point in the pit to an exhaust outlet should be 100 to 125 feet.
The amount of ventilation air moved down through the floor slots and out of the pit area should be restricted to the winter minimum rate. Higher volumes can cause manure to dry on the slots and clog the slot area and may cause excessive drafts at the floor level.
Ventilation systems employ mechanical components that stop working when the power goes off and will occasionally break down. If your ventilation system stops working without your knowing about it, the results can be disastrous. Fortunately, there are a number of alarm systems available that will warn you in the event of system failure. Every confinement building that relies on mechanical ventilation should be equipped with an alarm system.
The two most common types of ventilation system failure alarms are the power failure alarm and the temperature rise alarm. Either of these may be fitted with a visual (light) or an audible (horn or buzzer) alarm. They may also be connected to your home over a rented telephone line in the event that the building is located away from the home farm.
Power failure alarms should be connected in the fan circuit, not just into the service entrance box. This will ensure that you are warned in the event that a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips and causes power outage at the fan even though the power is still on in the building.
Temperature rise alarms will sound when temperature rises above some predetermined level, or in some models if it rises too rapidly. When the ventilation system fails, temperature rises and trips the alarm. A fire in the building will also trigger the temperature alarm system.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Marshall Henderson says he will return for his senior season at Ole Miss.
The Rebels' flamboyant shooting guard, the transfer with a troubled past, would not be pinned down on the question of his future plans in the minutes following a 76-74 loss to La Salle in the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament.
On Wednesday the school posted a letter signed by Henderson to its website.
In the letter Henderson references the brash behavior that made him a lightning rod for criticism but also made him the most sought-after interview in two days of NCAA tournament games in Kansas City.
"I play the game with a lot of passion, and sometimes that passion boils over. I take responsibility for my actions this season and apologize to anyone I offended. However, my edge on the court has made me the player that I am. I can't change that, but I do understand that I can take things too far," the letter states.
"I have come to understand this year that I represent this team and this university, and I have to hold myself to a higher standard than people in the stands, because I am a student-athlete at Ole Miss."
consecutive seasons
If Henderson follows through and returns he will play a second season for the same team after high school for the first time. He began his college career at Utah and also had stops at Texas Tech and South Plains College, a two-year school near Lubbock.
Henderson led the SEC in scoring (20.1 ppg), 3-point field goals (3.8 per game) and free throw shooting (88.3 percent).
His absence from the coaches All-SEC first team left many to speculate that his behavior impacted voting.
Henderson did make the second team.
Below is from olemisssports.com:
The following is a letter from Ole Miss junior Marshall Henderson to the Rebel family:
First, I would like to thank the Ole Miss fans for their support this season. It was a lot of fun even though we didn't make it to the Sweet Sixteen in L.A. It was our goal this season to get Reggie, Murph and Nick to the Big Dance and we did that. It is my goal to make next season even better.
With only nine hours left to earn my degree, I want to help build this program and that means I need to be a leader for my teammates both on and off the court. The spotlight on the court means my actions affect more than just me, and I need to show my teammates that I can be a leader for this team.

India's rights revolution
India is in the grip of a "rights" revolution. The poor stand to benefit most, as they gain legally enforceable rights. These guarantee them education, food, health, a public works-for-cash programme and government information, among other things.
India is in the grip of a "rights" revolution. The poor stand to benefit most, as they gain legally enforceable rights. These guarantee them education, food, health, a public works-for-cash programme and government information, among other things.
Ensuring the basics in life remains the biggest challenge for India, six decades after independence.
Take food. Some 43% of Indian children younger than five are underweight - far above the global average of 25% or sub-Saharan Africa's 28%. India is a lowly 65th among 84 countries in the Global Hunger Index. Half of the world's hungry people live in India.
So the proposed right to food, entitling a poor family to 25kg of rice or wheat at three rupees (seven cents) a kilogram is good news. The bad news is that identifying the deserving poor is a challenge - there are four different government estimates of the very poor or below poverty line (BPL) people floating around. States may inflate numbers of beneficiaries to corner more federal benefits. Then there is the notoriously leaky public distribution system, from where food is often siphoned off by a triad of low-level bureaucrats, shop owners and middlemen.
Nobody can deny that the right to education - every child aged 6-14 can demand free schooling - is critical: an estimated eight million children in that age group do not attend school in India. India's 61% literacy rate lags behind Kenya's 85%. But critics point to a lack of teachers - India would need more than a million teachers just to implement the right - and say there are simply not enough schools to cope with the increased demand.
Rights don't work miracles. But activists say they are an urgent social intervention to empower the poor in a highly iniquitous society, where it is difficult for the poor to access officials to air their grievances and secure their entitlements. "In a hierarchical society, rights-based movements are a way of moving towards equality," says leading political scientist Mahesh Rangarajan. Also, they put pressure on the state to deliver - the right to information, despite glitches, is making government more accountable.
Studies show that sensitive political and bureaucratic leadership combined with grassroots awareness and an engaged local media can translate rights into reality and improve the lives of the poor. Activists point out that money is not a problem - the economy is doing well, revenues are buoyant, federal health and education outlays have been increased. The government has pledged more than $5bn to send 10 million poor children to school.
The cynicism over rights mainly comes from India's burgeoning educated upper middle class. It is mostly not engaged with public institutions at all - its members rarely serve in the lower ranks of the armed forces, teach in state schools or work for the government. Yes, there are valid concerns about whether the state has the capacity to deliver on rights. Yes, the Indian state continues to focus on maintaining law and order and collecting revenue. Delivering services is not its strength. Rights could actually help it move towards a functioning welfare state. I would like to hear stories from you - and people you may know - who are reaping the benefits of the rights revolution.

text: My friend purchased a puppy 2 weeks ago and took it in for the next round of shots. He was told the right testicle has not dropped yet and to wait 3 months and get it rechecked. If it still hasn't dropped he should get him neutered as it's most likely hereditary. Can anyone give him some advice?
