BUT...not without the usual thuggish problems we've come to expect from the unionistas leaders and henchmen. As corrupt as most of these officials that are the leadership of these unions, I'm always amazed by how many brainwashed "dues-payers" are still involved.
Dear William,
Today, after a hard-fought victory in a state long shackled by the forced-unionism privileges of Big Labor, Michigan's Right to Work protections go into effect.
Unfortunately, I also have some disturbing -- but not surprising -- news.
The good news is that your Foundation is already at work to block the schemes and illegal maneuvers of the union bosses as they scramble to cling to their forced-dues power.
You see, while most private-sector and government workers in Michigan will have more freedom today than they did yesterday, union bosses have been scrambling to keep as many workers in forced-dues ranks as long as they can.
A Michigan Education Association memo leaked in December revealed the sinister strategy, recommending union bosses offer wage and benefits concessions with employers in order to extend monopoly bargaining agreements with forced-dues clauses before the Right to Work protections took effect.
That memo shows what really matters to union bosses: Seizing as much forced-dues cash as they can, even at the expense of the very workers they claim to "represent."
Across the state, teacher union bosses have implemented this strategy, cutting new long-term deals with their puppet politicians on school boards to keep the forced dues coming for as long as eight and even ten years -- longer even than the term of school board officials.
Union lawyers are also on a warpath to overturn or gut the law in the courts.
In one federal lawsuit, union lawyers including former Obama Labor Board Member Craig Becker make the spurious argument that Michigan's Right to Work law is pre-empted by federal law.
The National Right to Work Foundation's Michigan Task Force is prepared to defend the Right to Work law from these groundless legal assaults, educate Michigan workers about their rights, and provide free legal aid to victimized workers as needed.
The Foundation is launching a massive public information campaign to inform Michigan workers of their rights through public service announcements and Internet campaigns.
In January, Foundation staff attorneys filed a friend of the court brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in support of Michigan's prohibition of discriminatory union-only "project labor agreements" on public projects.
Foundation attorneys also reviewing the lawsuits recently filed by Michigan union bosses against the newly-enacted Right to Work law, and are ready to defend it as they have done in Indiana and Wisconsin.
With your continued support, we won't let the union bosses get away with gutting or circumventing Michigan's laws that protect worker freedom.
Mark Mix
P.S. The Foundation relies completely on voluntary contributions from its supporters to provide free legal aid.

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- If you are traveling on Christmas Day, take heed: A good portion of the U.S. should see snow on the holiday, and parts of the Southeast will be hit with thunderstorms and even tornadoes, the National Weather Service and media reports said on Tuesday.
Google and Norad Track Santa
Where is Santa Claus? Depends where you look, as Norad and Google maps offer real-time Santa Claus trackers as the jolly man makes his way across the world delivering gifts. Kelli Grant reports on Lunch Break.Photo: Getty Images.
From Oklahoma east into Arkansas, several inches of snow may fall, the agency said. The Associated Press reported that a blizzard watch was in effect for parts of Indiana and western Kentucky.
AP also said fog advisories were posted in the Southeast from Alabama through the Carolinas and into southwest Virginia.
Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes and high winds are possible in southeast Texas east along the Gulf Coast to central Alabama, the weather service said.
The broader weather system should shift to the Northeast, bringing 6 to 8 inches of snow from eastern Oklahoma up through southern Illinois and into the upper Ohio Valley, the agency said.
On Wednesday night, some of the heaviest snow, maybe more than a foot, will be seen in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania.
And in the West, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Shasta range and the Cascades could see 12 to 18 inches of snow through Thursday morning.

One of them is reinforcing, and the other is punishing.
Every time, and at the same time.
Now, when it comes to training with the e-collar, you are correct that we need to always be using it to reinforce.
Read this post by Darrin again.Originally Posted by copterdocWhy does a dog flare the place that it was forced on back, or stopped with a whistle/nick?
Because it associates the aversive, with the location.
Aversive stimulus, always punishes something.
By conditioning the dog to go, stop, and come in response to that aversive, we assure that applying it as reinforcement, doesn't punish going, stopping, or coming.
But, it still punishes SOMETHING, when we apply an aversive to reinforce a behavior that we have conditioned to that aversive stimulus.
That's why it works as an indirect pressure correction for what the dog was doing wrong at the time that it was applied. And it's also why the dog can "blame" it on something that we didn't want the dog to blame it on.

Higher Arithmetic: An Algorithmic Introduction to Number Theory - Harold M Edwards
Those Fascinating Numbers - Jean-Marie De Koninck
Welcome to diophantine analysis--an area of number theory in which we attempt to discover hidden treasures and truths within the jungle of numbers by exploring rational numbers. Diophantine analysis comprises two different but interconnected domains--diophantine approximation and diophantine equations. This highly readable book brings to life the fundamental ideas and theorems from diophantine approximation, geometry of numbers, diophantine geometry and \(p\)-adic analysis. Through an engaging style, readers participate in a journey through these areas of number theory.
Each mathematical theme is presented in a self-contained manner and is motivated by very basic notions. The reader becomes an active participant in the explorations, as each module includes a sequence of numbered questions to be answered and statements to be verified. Many hints and remarks are provided to be freely used and enjoyed. Each module then closes with a Big Picture Question that invites the reader to step back from all the technical details and take a panoramic view of how the ideas at hand fit into the larger mathematical landscape. This book enlists the reader to build intuition, develop ideas and prove results in a very user-friendly and enjoyable environment.
Little background is required and a familiarity with number theory is not expected. All that is needed for most of the material is an understanding of calculus and basic linear algebra together with the desire and ability to prove theorems. The minimal background requirement combined with the author's fresh approach and engaging style make this book enjoyable and accessible to second-year undergraduates, and even advanced high school students. The author's refreshing new spin on more traditional discovery approaches makes this book appealing to any mathematician and/or fan of number theory.
Undergraduate and graduate students and mathematicians interested in number theory.
"A wealth of information ... designed as a textbook at the undergraduate level, with lots of exercises. The choice of material is very nice: Diophantine approximation is the unifying theme, but the tour has side trips to elliptic curves, Riemann surfaces, and \(p\)-adic analysis. The writing style is relaxed and pleasant ... For this trip, the guide has chosen an ascent to an accessible summit, but with the emphasis always on teaching and motivating important techniques so that the beginner can advance to a higher level."
-- MAA Monthly
"The author invites the reader right from the beginning, through his engaging and motivating style, to develop ideas actively and to find proofs for himself ... Remarks at the end of each of the 20 short sections, into which this readily readable introduction to diophantine analysis is divided, extend the material and stimulate the reader to deeper study and involvement with it."
-- Zentralblatt MATH
"This short book presents a nice enjoyable introduction to Diophantine analysis, which invites the motivated reader to rediscover by himself or herself many of the fundamental results of the subject, with hints given in an appendix for the more difficult results."
-- Mathematical Reviews
"Here ... is something truly different ... number theory is such a large subject and so much of it is initially accessible without too many prerequisites, that one would expect to see a different take on the subject every once in a while. And that, happily, is what we have here both, in content and in style of presentation ... For professors with the requisite background, this may be just the right book to use in an upper-level undergraduate seminar. Students working through this book will learn some nice material and will probably also emerge from the course with a much greater confidence in their ability to do mathematics."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000
An early and affordable sampler synth. It's similar to the Emulators and old Ensoniqs. It is a low quality sampler with a tiny 256k (or 512k) memory and 12 bit sampling. However it has analog VCF's and VCA's which give you analog tweak-control over the sounds you sample. Though it does not even come close to modern day synth samplers like the Kurzweil K2000, it is an affordable classic that, with a little creativity is capable of some great and unusual lo-fi sounds. It has 8 voices of polyphony, the keyboard can be split into 8 layers, MIDI equipped, and there is an arpeggiator.
The Prophet 2000 was also released in a rackmount version called the Prophet 2002. These have been used by: Hardfloor, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Information Society, Mark Isham, filmmaker/composer John Carpenter, and D:ream.

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: Pig Penned
Not wanting a sudden encounter with a silent longbeard, I dropped my glass call, stuck my diaphragm in my cheek and dug a slate from my vest. I scratched out three soft yelps, and a gobbler blew my hat off from 15 yards away.
Instantly, I caught movement on the other side of the cedars, and a second later, a bright white head popped up directly in front of my fiber-optic sights.
Bam. Merriam's down.
The turkeys had been coming the entire time, of course, as I'd suspected. I'd just needed to use a slightly different sound to get them to confirm that. Now and then, it pays to load your vest with all that stuff. You never know what sound or pitch will strike a gobbler's fancy, after all, even if you're stuck by an old hog pen.
What decision did you make?

Featured Story
Networks of Princeton alumni span the globe
Posted August 25, 2005; 03:06 p.m.
With the Princeton student body taking on an increasingly
international flavor over the years, networks of Princeton alumni
around the globe have expanded significantly. According to the Office
of the Alumni Association:
- About 5,880 Princeton alumni -- both expatriates and non-U.S. citizens -- currently live outside the United States.
- A total of 44 clubs and associations -- ranging in size from four alumni in Katmandu, Nepal, to 1,095 alumni in Canada -- now sponsor a variety of activities, from welcome receptions for incoming freshmen to cultural events for alumni and parents, from career networking, community service and young alumni activities to summer work programs for current students.
- In 1993, the Alumni Schools Committee, under the guidance of Henry Von Kohorn, a 1966 alumnus, began recruiting international ASC chairs. Seventy countries now have ASC chairs, and alumni are engaged in volunteer interviewing of prospective students in many more countries.
- In 2002, the University's youngest regional association, the Princeton Club of Shanghai, came into existence. It followed closely on the heels of the reactivated Princeton Club of Beijing, recognized as the Alumni Association's first ''virtual community.''
- Some of the oldest international regional associations, which are roughly a century old, include the Princeton Club of Korea, the Princeton Alumni Association of China and the Princeton Club of Great Britain.
More information about Princeton's regional alumni associations is available online.

- Description
This is the cast house of Carrie Furnace blast furnace number 6. In the floor are the channels or "runners" through which molten iron flowed. Sluice gates (is that the right terminology?) were used to control the flow. The iron poured directly into "torpedo" rail cars parked below this floor, for transport across the Monongahela River to Homestead Works where the iron was refined into steel and rolled into beams and sheet steel. Slag was skimmed off the top of the molten iron here in the cast house and diverted via slag runners into "slag pot" rail cars, also parked below this floor, for disposal.

Three generations of our family stayed in this beautiful condo for a week in April. The pictures do not do it justice- the living room has been updated and everything was clean, fresh, and pretty, with shabby chic decor. The location is perfect ~ right on a wide sandy beach. There is a fantastic sunset view from the screened porch and living room. From the dining room bay window, you can see the beach to the south.
We rented a 6-person golf cart and our teenagers loved the freedom of cruising into town on cart paths to buy ice cream or shop for souvenirs, to see the lighthouse or snack at a beachfront restaurant. (Note: Carts can be rented from several places on-island, but we rented off-island from Thoroughgood because they allow 15 year olds to drive. The company delivered and picked up the battery-powered cart. During popular weeks, it is best to arrange for cart rental in advance: www.tgcarts.com). It was lovely to stay someplace where it is safe for older kids to explore on their own.
This corner condo is located in a three-unit beach cottage on stilts, with parking underneath. Older or disabled folks might find the entry steps daunting, but once inside the condo there is a bedroom on the main floor. We arranged the twin beds in that room as a king for the grandparents. A full bath on the first floor is convenient. The compact kitchen contains everything you need to cook all your meals ~ though that would be a shame since there are many good restaurants on the island. (We especially enjoyed the Loose Caboose, PJs, Eagle Grille, and the Temp). A small charcoal grill was handy for cooking out at the condo~ and there are also grills at the park.
Upstairs, a bedroom with single beds worked great for the kids and has its own ensuite bathroom with small shower. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer upstairs! The master suite is very spacious and light, with a king bed, a great beach view from the sitting area, and an ensuite bathroom featuring his and hers sinks and a huge tub/shower.
A lovely shaded pool was never crowded. The condo has a trunk full of rec equipment including tennis racquets and a beach umbrella, but bring your own pool floats and beach chairs, if desired. The big lighthouse museum was worth visiting.
The management office was helpful. And the delightful owner's suggestions about activities, restaurants, and island news were perfect, as were his responses to our questions. We would love to stay there again!!

I talked to the vet again today. Both in her original diagnosis and now she is pretty insistent that it was not Bloat..."no signs of Bloat".
Yep...I would do anything to take back running that last series...but, I watched her closely, I gave her some time, we ran another dog and I watched how she acted while the dog ran. Everything appeared normal before I ran her again.


text:
This thread reminded me of an incident I had a couple of years ago. I'd loaded up the dogs on a beautiful spring day to train, but had to run errands first. Finishing up, I stopped by a strip mall to pick up a couple things our club needed for our hunt test the next day. I parked the truck and even though it was only 72 degrees out, left it running with the AC on just in case and ran in and grabbed what I needed. While in line at the check out, I overheard the clerk talking to the woman in front of me about how the cops were there because someone had left dogs locked in a hot car. A quick glance outside revealed a delegation of uniforms and people gathering around MY truck! I ran out and some woman was shrieking about how the poor dogs were dying. I'd actually noticed her earlier since she was sitting on a bench outside the store wearing a dirty aqua house coat and smoking a cigarette. I really had to bite my tongue not to give her a piece of my mind when she screeched to the cops the dogs had been there all day and am glad I kept my cool.
One of the cops had some gizmo he pointed at my window that he said gave him a temp. reading inside the car, and it registered over 100 degrees! Now bear in mind it was only 72 degrees outside and, I had my AC on. I opened the door and politely invited the cop to take the inside temp (also 72 degrees) and resisted the urge to whisper sic-sic-sic-sic to the sleeping Chesapeakes. I also produced a dated deposit slip from the bank a few miles away where I'd been 20 minutes earlier to refute the psycho woman's claim the dogs had been there suffering for hours. Because I was the HT sec., I realized how much trouble I could be in if I got ticketed for animal cruelty even if the charges were totally bogus, and how expensive/time wasting it would be if I got charged. So even though I was furious I was polite and helpful to the cops and said nothing to the freak that called them and once things were explained to them, the cops were OK although they warned me to be careful on hot days (as if!) These days you cannot be too careful--no matter how wrong the neighbors/complainers are, it's NOT worth the trouble of stirring them up.

So it's a big crisis warranting impeachment when a President lies about screwing around and it's of no consequence when a President and his men lie and break the law in matters directly related to their public responsibilities? Personally, I think both are important but that what happens in a person's admittedly messed up personal life is of minor consequence in comparison with what is done in connection with official duties. Nixon tried to assert a form of presidential privilege, saying that any action ordered by the President could not be a crime. It was a neat theory but it doesn't hold water under our laws. Bush/Cheney have tried to assert similar privilege. I believe that it's important that we reject the notion of such an imperial presidency unless you are eager to see Obama wield that same sort of autonomous authority. I am not and I voted for him.
I also hope that Bush issues a blanket pardon. It will avoid tearing the country up trying to assign blame for things that never should have been permitted to happen and will stand as a monument to the abject moral failure of this administration. During his first campaign, Bush said he would restore honor to the White House. He has left it much more stained than he found it. Hopefully the next crowd will do better. If not, we should throw them out as well.
Interestingly, a Presidential pardon would offer no protection against civil suits. It also offers no protection against prosecution by any number of countries which allow universal jurisdiction for war crimes. FWIW, Clinton was held accountable for his mis-deeds both in civil court where he paid a lot in damages and in state court.

By Leslie Criss/NEMS Daily Journal
"There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind."
Washington Irving
"The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope."
John Buchan
"If all politicians fished instead of spoke publicly, we would be at peace with the world."
Will Rogers
Clearly, spring has been tormenting us all with a wicked game of hide and seek.
One day it's sunny and in the 70s, the next it's rainy and cold.
I've had just enough glimpses of what spring ought to be to catch fishing fever. Symptoms include staring longingly at my rod and reel, cobweb-covered in the garage; making a list of the different friends who've offered a place to wet hook of said rod and reel; and reviving many memories made in years past fishing with my father, my grandparents, my niece, various friends or by myself.
When I was a little girl, barely big enough to pretend patience, my paternal grandfather, a fool for fishing, put me in the back of his boat, slowly left the docks behind and headed into the wide open waters of Grenada Lake, in search of some of the secret spots he'd selected over the years.
Of course, my grandmother, who also enjoyed fishing, came along mostly to make sure Granddaddy did not toss me into the muddy waters when I began to whine to end the fishing trip way too prematurely for Granddaddy.
"Give her some Nabs and a Co-cola," he'd tell my grandmother. "And keep her quiet."
As I grew older, however, and more appreciative of the lure of fishing, my patience improved and each visit to the lake, I lasted a little longer.
They were great teachers, my grandparents. And also one of their four sons, my father.
It was Dad who taught me, finally, the correct way to bait a hook.
We were fishing for catfish years ago in a Yalobusha County pond.
Wanting to exercise my angling independence, I walked to the other side of the pond from Dad. Each time I'd cast, I'd notice two splashes. And I puzzled at how I could go through so many minnows without getting a single bite.
It was my father who realized the first splash was my hook going into the water; the second was my minnow, flying off my hook and into the pond.
Without making me feel any more stupid than I already did, Dad corrected the error of my ways.
Now spring fever has led to fishing fever.
I stand ready to bait my hook. Do a little casting.
And practice patience.
A whole lot of patience.

Weaver looking ahead to season
With just under a week to go before the players return for pre-season training, development coach Steve Weaver has already been in at Compton Park in preparation for the return of his charges.
Steve was delighted that his team reached the elite stage of the inaugural under 21's League season, and he is now looking at some of the players stepping up to senior level.
He said: "Obviously the new manager is going to want to take a look at some of the older lads in the development squad - the likes of Jack Price, Liam McAlinden, Zeli Ismail, Lee Evans and Michael Ihiekwe amongst others.
"The nucleus of last season's development squad should still be available but, to be fair to the players I've just mentioned, it's time for them to step up although, if they're not involved either here or elsewhere at first team level, then they can still play for me.
"Last season's development squad are all still eligible to play for the under 21s but I think it's important that they get the taste of working with and around the first team squad because the majority of the group that played for me last season are ready for first team football.
"The new lads coming in this summer are Dominic Iorfa, David Moli, Jack Kellerman and Jon Flatt as well as Robbie Parry who was involved quite a lot last season anyway. Sam Winnall and Johnny Gorman have both left the club and David Davis is now very much regarded as a first team squad member.
"I think it will be a smaller group as first team demands and possible loan deals will have an effect. I know it's been said before but whilst the standard of under 21 football last season was very high, there is no substitute for senior soccer whether it be here at Wolves or out on loan.
"Ethan Ebanks Landell is a good example. He spent a lot of last season in Bury's first team and you could see the benefit that it was to his game when he returned even though Bury did struggle. There is no substitute for experience."
At the moment, the under 21s have pre-season friendly games pencilled in, against Burnley and Birmingham with provision for more. Full details will be announced when finalised.
Weaver adds: "I think that last season, everyone saw the advantage of having a settled under 21 squad – the players did well individually but also as a team because they trained together and played together.
"It was great for us to finish in the top eight last season and obviously it would be good to improve on that come the new season. But, as a coach, the goal for me is to see the group of players that were with me last season to move on and play senior football."

Clearly Obama is biracial like almost every black in this country. That he is called black is imprecise but reflects both a cultural and legal tradition in this country where the presence of any black blood was normally sufficient to classify the person as black. In fact, at the time of Obama's birth, the union of his parents violated the laws of several states which persisted in banning "interracial" marriage until it was finally outlawed by the Supreme Court.
Obama's race has been used both for and against Obama since his candidacy was first announced by partisans on both sides. The fact that it seems to have been considered less important to voters than to the pundits and the media is testimony to how far we have progressed as a country since I was young and living in a legally segregated part of the country. Whether one supports or opposes Obama, I would hope that almost all of us would consider that to be a noteworthy milestone.
With respect to media coverage, I believe the track record is mixed. On Fox News and conservative radio talk shows, Obama can do nothing right. He is deemed responsible if a child catches a cold and anything good that does happen is deemed to have happened despite his interference. On MSNBC, the reverse is true and I am reminded repeadedly of the cartoon of Obama walking Bo:
The rest of the media reflects its traditional biases -- both conservative and liberal -- but seems less extreme. That Obama's press is still relatively positive is consistent with the treatment afforded most presidents early in their terms (even GWB, who was given almost a complete pass early on and then again after 9/11).
With respect to the question of racism, I believe that almost everyone in America is conscious of race and that it affects our thinking and actions more than most of us would care to admit. Calling people racist in the discussions on this forum is like most other forms of name-calling -- it's more a way of evading a discussion of issues on their merits than it is an argument in its own right. As a personal attack, calling an individual racist violates the terms under which we agree to frame our discussions in the interests of civility on this forum. It is completely inappropriate.

Kiwis are padding out their Facebook friends lists with people they have never met and acquaintances from school they haven't seen since leaving, a study claims.
The survey of 1000 New Zealanders found that 41 per cent had Facebook friends they had never met, while 67 per cent said their list included people they had not seen since leaving school.
The SayIt Online Omnibus survey, carried out by UMR Research last month, also showed that the average New Zealander had 146 Facebook friends, while those aged between 18 and 39 had an average of 234.
Social media commentator Simon Young said social networking sites - and particularly Facebook - were fast becoming the norm for Kiwis.
"It's becoming an assumption that you've got to be on it ... the fact that everyone else is on there, makes other people want to be on there.
"Most people are a little bit like me - fairly open - there's friends that you actually know, there's strangers and then acquaintances who are people who you haven't actually met but know a lot about through [what they've posted on] Facebook.
"Other people are just horrified at that and they just want people who they spend time with."
The survey claimed 76 per cent of New Zealanders were signed up to Facebook, although a Herald-Digipoll survey in September suggested the figure was nearer half of the population.
Other UMR results showed a third of users were friends with a former partner, a third were friends with at least one of their children and a similar proportion were friends with a parent. However, only 13 per cent of people said they were friends with their boss.
Mr Young said the idea of what qualifies as a "friend" on Facebook would vary from person to person.
Addicted but not sure why
Etelei Kuata admits she is addicted to Facebook, but is unsure what the attraction is.
"I put my life on there. I go on it when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I have a look at what other people have been up to that day and maybe say hello. It's just an easy way of connecting with people."
The 24-year-old has 401 friends made up of people she has known from primary school, high school, work, church and family.
There are people on her friends list who she hardly knows or has never even met in person.
"Sometimes I get random people adding me and I'll accept them. I might have only met them just the once but I'll add them."
Miss Kuata, a secretary assistant at the St Mary's Parish in Avondale, said she had deleted friends: "If they write stupid comments or swear or post rude status updates ... off they go."
Friends indeed:
* 146 average number of friends on Facebook.
* 67 per cent are friends with someone they haven't seen since school.
* 41 per cent are friends with strangers.
* 13 per cent are friends with a boss.

Strikeforce Releases Official Trailer for Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Silva
- Written by Dave Walsh
After weeks of awesome and mediocre fan trailers for the upcoming Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, Strikeforce and Showtime finally released an official trailer for the February 12th showdown between Fedor Emelianenko and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. The official trailer is short and to the point, while most of the fan-made ones tend to ramble on a bit. What is cool to think about is while Strikeforce tends to get lost in the shuffle unless the media is downright panning them, there is a ton of fan support for this upcoming tournament and shows that there really is a lot of buzz going around about this tournament. By all means, once all of the weird Coker and SF mishaps are said and done, it is an assembly of 8 of the best Heavyweights outside of UFC and should be great.
We get to watch Fedor Emelianeko, Antonio Silva, Andrei Arlovski, a former UFC Champion, and K-1 fighter Sergei Kharitonov in one show. [source]

Kalona Working on Compost Area
Posted By News On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The City of Kalona is working on a compost area for its residents. At last weeks meeting, the City Council directed City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh to get cost estimates and more information.
Schlabuagh says that he and the Public Works Department will be doing fact finding and when they have the estimates they'll come together and decide what will work best for the City.
He shares the site currently being considered is behind the City's shop at 711 A Avenue. He adds the compost area will most likely be ready for use next spring.

This show was originally set to air July 22, 2012 but had to be rescheduled.
Can we prove atheism? Can we prove that no god exists? According to one school of thought, the answer is "No", because we can't absolutely prove a negative. Philosopher Matthew McCormick, however, considers this standard to be unrealistic. It isn't the standard we apply for any other question that influences how we live our lives. Why should we treat it as the standard for accepting atheism?
In his soon-to-be-released book, McCormick lays out the case for atheism along multiple lines of argument. From the publisher's description:.
Is the evidence about Jesus as it has been relayed to us over the centuries of sufficient quantity and quality to justify belief in the resurrection? How can we accept the resurrection but reject magic at the Salem witch trials? What light does contemporary research about human rationality from the fields of behavioral economics, empirical psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy shed on the resurrection and religious belief? Can we use contemporary research about the reliability of people's beliefs in the supernatural, miracles, and the paranormal to shed light on the origins of Christianity and other religions? Does it make sense that the all-powerful creator of the universe would employ miracles to achieve his ends? Can a Christian believe by faith alone and yet reasonably deny the supernatural claims of other religions? Do the arguments against Christianity support atheism?
This Sunday, Matt McCormick joins us on air to discuss his book.

I contacted a person posting on here saying they were in Atlanta and weren't going to be able to attend any games this year. All I had to do was pay them a deposit through Paypal and then I'd get the tickets in August when he received them. After insisting that he sign a contract, meet in person, that I wasn't paying half of the cost up front, and that all of the posters on TD.com would likely require the same thing he never contacted me again.
post date the check for two weeks after tix are to be mailed .. then, when you are given the tix, call the ticket office or go by to make sure they are legitimate tix ... if the check clears anytime before that .. this is on the bank and not you .. so, trust me, they won't cash it at all ..
I always ask for the account number and call the ticket office. They can't tell you much, but I simply ask if the account is 1) legitimate, 2) is in good standing, & 3) doesn't have any reported stolen tickets. They answer those questions but always caution that the ticket holder can have their tickets reprinted, to purchase through their website (Marketplace), etc etc.
Ditto. I live in Denver. There are 3-4 games a year I won't be able to make. And usually 1 game a year I'm looking for tickets. I generally use PayPal or meet in person if the timing works out. Haven't been burned yet.
This sounds like the guy - the guy I spoke to said he relocated to Miami, former LSU grad and his dad, just deceased, was a professor in Architecture at LSU. Basically the process he described was that to go to grocery store with western union/ in this case went to minute money in Miami and that money would not be released until the FedEx guy showed me the envelope with the tickets, an authenticated letter from LSU and a parking pass and once I reviewed that I would sign a release form that he had to release the money. What happended is the money was released immediately when did the minute money transaction, he gave us fake fedex tracking number as well.

Looking for a mouthwatering frozen dessert? Enjoy this chilled peach cobbler ice cream - a delightful treat.
Why it Works: Adding Alcohol
Since its invention thousands of years ago, ice cream has been a food best enjoyed within minutes of being made. This is due not only to its wonderful flavor, but also its poor keeping qualities. Stored too long, ice cream becomes gritty. This can be avoided with a few tricks. Although it may not be diet-friendly, use cream with the highest fat level possible and all of the sugar called for in the recipe. Ice crystals are formed by water (which lower-fat milks have in excess) and too little sugar (sugar adds to the creamy texture by lowering the freezing temperature during mixing). Adding alcohol, as this recipe does, also lessens the chance of gritty ice cream and prevents the ice cream from freezing rock hard.

Flamingos always seem to be standing on one leg. It's a little odd, but also impressive, when you consider that the birds' legs are long and thin and most of their body weight is horizontally oriented. Even humans, vertically oriented with the bulk of our weight in line with our center of gravity, have a hard time standing on one leg for more than a few minutes (most of us, anyway). One would think that if the birds are doing something so difficult so often for so long, there must be a benefit to it, but for a long time we had no idea what that might be. Scientists had proposed a number of explanations, but very few of them were ever tested.
Psychologists and flamingos seem like an unlikely pair, but Matthew Anderson, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychology at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, studies the evolution of behavior, and he thinks the birds' social nature makes them a good species for investigating social influences on behavior.
In one study, he found that whether an individual flamingo lays its head on the left or the right side of its back while resting is strongly influenced by the flamingos around it. Most birds prefer to rest their necks to their right, and this kind of laterality plays a role in the social cohesion of the flock. Given that, you might predict that left-leaning flamingos would have trouble getting along with the group, and Anderson's results indeed showed that flamingos preferring the left were more likely to be involved in spats with their flockmates. Several other of his studies have similarly demonstrated the powerful influence that the flock has on the behavior of any one flamingo.
A few years ago, Anderson and his student Sarah Williams turned their attention to the opposite end of the flamingo and decided to see if the birds had a preference for their right or left foot while standing and resting, and if there was also a social influence there. While preparing for the study, they realized that no one had ever tested a more basic question: not if or why flamingos favor one leg over the other, but why flamingos favor one leg over two.
Two of the more popular explanations proposed for the one-legged posture are that it either reduces muscle fatigue or helps regulate body temperature.
The first hypothesis suggests that standing on one leg or the other prevents the muscles in both legs from getting stiff or tired at the same time. That way, if a predator comes along and a flamingo needs to make a break for it, at least one leg is ready to go and the bird can get moving faster. The other explanation is based on the fact that legs and feet account for a significant source of heat loss in birds. Keeping one leg or the other tucked up against the body, then, would conserve more body heat and help maintain a normal temperature.
With their study having changed gears, Anderson and Williams went to the Philadelphia Zoo to observe its flock of Caribbean Flamingos. They spent several months watching the birds, each of which has a leg band that allows individuals to be identified. To evaluate the muscle fatigue hypothesis, the researchers timed how long it took for the birds to start moving after standing on one leg versus both legs. If that explanation was correct, the flamingos should have taken their first steps faster from a one-legged stance, but Anderson and Williams found that their movement was consistently faster (by about 14 seconds) when they'd been resting on both legs.
To test the heat retention idea, the researchers noted the temperature and weather conditions when the flamingos were resting on one leg or two. They found that more birds stood on one leg when they were standing in water than when they were on dry land, and that more birds would stand on one leg when it was cooler and on two when it was warmer, suggesting that one-legged resting helps in regulating temperature.
At first, the idea that a bird that usually lives in warm tropical climates would need to do anything special to hold onto its body heat seems a little counter-intuitive. Keep in mind, though, that flamingos spend most of their time in the water. As we learned before, body heat escapes more rapidly into water than air, and even in warmer climes, water can pull heat away from a body very quickly. "With greater body surface area submerged under water, resting on two legs would result in significantly more heat loss than resting on one," the researchers say in their study.
Temperature regulation appears to be a key reason for the flamingos' iconic stance, but the psychologists aren't ruling out an additional explanation, also tied to water. Given the amount of time they spend wading, Anderson and Williams write, the one-legged position might also help reduce flamingos' exposure to fungus or parasites in the water.

Damn. First major code submission and my first major screw up. The libao mega-patch I submitted to vorbis got integrated and broke the build for NetBSD users. Some guy started mouthing off on another list about how vorbis sucks because the tools (ogg123 and vorbize) don't work for NetBSD. Actually, they do (since NetBSD supports OSS) I just forgot to include that in the configure script. Grr..
I feel bad that Monty has to put up with crap like that when it was my fault in the first place. It also irritates me when people start mouthing off about how crappy a program is when the effort required to fix the problem is trivial. Email me about the problem and I'll fix it! Don't go complaining like a helpless fool. That's what you do when you run software that is written by people who don't care (or aren't paid to care) about users (cough, cough, insert your most hated program here).
I guess this is part of the learning experience. I can hardly wait until I get my very own flames. :)
Update: Argh. I hate script kiddies. Some prick buffer overflowed our ftp server and installed a root-kit. Fortunately, the root-kit install deletes samba (why?) which is rather essential to the operation our server. So I noticed right away when I got back from lunch that something was wrong. Next, rpm -Va saved my butt and showed me what had been screwed with. Actually finding the root-kit took a while until I noticed that all of the files this kid created were owned by the ftp group. "find -group ftp" quickly turned up a "/lib/ " (yes, that's three spaces) directory. Bingo! The installation script and all of his goodies were left there. Additionally, the kid left his buffer overflow login in the log, so I had his IP on a DSL modem. A quick letter off to the abuse address of his ISP will hopefully take care of things.
My lesson for the day is read the RedHat Security Advisories. They had the wu-ftpd exploit up for a month already. (Smack!)

No Carnival writeup would be complete, especially this year without mention of the ever-popular yet ever-controversial [1] Machel Montano.
From an earlier incarnation of his MySpace page [2]:
Machel Montano began his career in 1982 at age seven. As early as 1984, he formed his band Panasonic Express now called XTATIK. Machels debut album TOO YOUNG TO SOCA, released in 1985, was an instant hit which earned him many rave reviews and standing ovations wherever he performed.
In 1986, he appeared on Star Search in Hollywood bringing Soca Music to the screens of US National Television. He was described as a Stevie Wonder of Soca. Machel and XTATIK have performed with many popular international entertainment personalities including: Freddie Jackson, TLC, Third World , Shaggy, El Debarge, Destinys Child, The Boyz, Kris Kross, Buju Banton, Ziggy Marley, Garnet Silk, Shabba Ranks, Bounty Killa and many others.
In 1987, at the age of twelve, Machel became the first Trinidadian and youngest Entertainer to win the Caribbean Song Festival. In 1991 at sixteen, he won the Young Kings Competition. XTATIK won best playing music band on the road for CARIBANA 94 and MIAMI CARNIVAL 94. In 1995 Machel won Party Vocalist of the year and in 1996 XTATIK won Party band of the Year. In 1995 and 1997 Machel & Xtatik journeyed to London and mesmerized the sold out crowds.
In 1997 Machel became the youngest ROAD MARCH KING of Trinidad & Tobago and XTATIKS album HEAVY DUTY has been described as one of the best selling SOCA Albums ever.
In 2007 I watched him play an almost 90 minute non-stop set at the Zen nightclub… that was pure musical brilliance. The first 1/2 he performed his popular tunes (new and old) in a stripped down acoustic styling (think MTV Unplugged). Many of the uptempo numbers were retooled as ballads crossing several genres and the air was crackling with a feeling of spiritual release and oneness.
Tears came to my eyes several times. I won't lie! For the second half many of the tunes were re-performed in all their uptempo Carnival frenzy. It was like 2 albums/concerts in one!
Today is Carnival Tuesday and many are wondering if, after a brief hiatus, Machel will once again be crowned Road March King [3] (he won it in 1997,1998 and 2007). He's already nabbed this year's Power Soca Monarch Crown (a fact that is still being hotly debated). Will he take even more Advantage?

As I've previously mentioned where there's a fete [7] or nightclub street food is not far away. That Friday night in 2007 was no exception. Outside of the nightclub I spotted a corn soup [8] vendor.
There were also two food stands.
One well lit one attracted many patrons
The other's dubious choice of neon green lighting made it stand out from the crowd, but not in a good way. Does anyone really think yummy and hearty when they see a neon green glow?
Guess who my friend and I ate from?
The sign reads "Bake & Shark [9], Burgers (Beef/Chicken), Fries, Soft Drinks, Hops [10] & Cheese)" and at the bottom "Real Trini Style". Now that's more like it! We both ordered beef burgers. They come standard on a bed of coleslaw with ketchup. Dont' be fooled by the plain appearance, my friend and I both agreed that was one of the best burgers we'd ever hard. The patty was redolent with garlic and herbs to a degree that I had never had. And straight off the grill, so so good! It was the perfect end to an awesome evening 🙂
I have done my best to recreate that flavour and taste in this post for Trini-Style Hamburgers [11].

Diabetes has become a major public health problem in China. Chronic complications are the major causes of disabilities and death for diabetic patients. It is well known that good control of blood glucose, blood pressure, lipids and aspirin usage reduces the risk of complications. This proposal describes a community-hospital integrated management system for diabetic patients in Beijing, China, with the purpose of translating standard care to the real world clinical practice to optimize control of blood glucose, blood pressure and lipids. The methods in this proposal are based on the previous Beijing Community Diabetes Study (BCDS).

We are Endowed by our Biology with Certain Unalienable Illusions and Appetites (updated 9.08.07)
But you knew Chomsky was going to say that. He doesn't "think" so much as apply a template over reality so that it always comes out looking the same: U.S. bad, enemies of U.S. good. Chomsky, of course, is one of the intellectual luminaries of the far left, and the far left is increasingly becoming indistinguishible from the left (which long ago abandoned liberalism).
On the adolescent playground of college campuses, Chomsky's books are always among the biggest sellers. In the course of his career, like the left itself, he has only been wrong about everything (most egregiously, our last generations-long battle against evil), but that doesn't matter, since the purpose of socialism is not to be effective or to describe reality, but to transform the consciousness of the person who believes it. Therefore, it would be a waste of time to analyze the substance of Chomsky's ideas, which are frankly bizarre. He is much more of a religious cult figure and should be regarded as such. He cannot be discredited.
Religion is the realm of ultimate values. I was intrigued by a passing comment at the top of Chomsky's editorial that reveals his: "The urgency of halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and moving toward their elimination, could hardly be greater. Failure to do so is almost certain to lead to grim consequences, even the end of biology's only experiment with higher intelligence" (emphasis mine).
So here we have a literal inversion of reality on every level: political, historical, ethical, epistemological, theological and ontological. The classical liberalism of American idealism is explicitly religious, even if it doesn't explicitly favor one particular Judeo-Christian denomination over another. But clearly, there was a consensus among our founders that human beings, and only human beings, were endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that are rooted in our very humanness. Liberty is meaningless without both free will and a proper divine end for our free will. In the absence of a free will that transcends biology, liberty is obviously impossible. And in the absence of the Good and True, both our behavior and our thinking can have no meaning that isn't ultimately arbitrary. (In other words, thinking must converge on truth, just as behavior must converge on virtue.)
This is the "American experiment": it was an experiment in the adventure of consciousness to see if would be possible to facilitate psycho-spiritual evolution by setting up the appropriate framework--to unleash human potential, in part by starting out with a more accurate anthropology and ontology. For if you get either of these wrong at the outset, then your political philosophy will be hopelessly dysfunctional.
Adam Smith's ideas are infinitely more effective than Marx's ideas because they begin with a very accurate and concrete assessment of human psychology, whereas Marx (and every leftist since him) begins with abstract and general ideas that are superimposed on reality. What doesn't fit into the framework must be attacked, denied, belittled, and eliminated in order to preserve the framework. Thus, the ontological origins of the perpetually "angry left." How could they not be? It's inherently painful when reality doesn't conform to your fantasies.
The mullahs and Islamonazis have their own dysfunctional version of reality, while Chomsky and the left have another. In the end, one is no worse than the other, which is probably why they find such common ground in their opposition to liberal America. In Chomsky's religion, matter is God. A nuclear holocaust would be tragic because it would end "biology's only experiment with higher intelligence." Turning the cosmos upside down, human intelligence is subordinate to biology. The human mind is simply an "experiment" of biology. Could this possibly be true? I don't know. You would have to ask biology. It's her experiment, not ours.
The religious creed of the secular leftist would go something like this:
"I believe in a single substance, the mother of all forces, which engenders the life and consciousness of everything, visible and invisible. I believe in a single lord, biology, the unique son of the substance of the world, born from the substance of the world after centuries of random experimentation: the encapsulated reflection of the great material sea, the epiphenomenal light of primordial darkness, the false reflection of the real world, consubstantial with the mother-substance. It is he who has descended from the shadows of the mother-substance, he who has taken on flesh from matter, he who plays at the illusion of thought from flesh, he who has become the Human Brain. As a Human Brain, I acknowledge a single method for the elimination of error, thus ultimately eliminating myself and returning to the mother substance. Amen." (Adapted from a passage by Valentin Tomberg.)
Stripped of their illusions of divinity, humans are then free to be what they are, with their biology unbound:
Power into will, will into appetite,
And appetite, a universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce a universal prey
And last eat himself up. --Shakespeare
Chomsky gives a pass to the ravenous wolves of Islam, just as he gave a pass to the monsters of depravity who enslaved the communist world. He has to. It's his theology. Or biology. Same thing.

Korg DDD-1
The DDD-1 is a digital programmable drum machine from Korg from the mid-eighties. It offers 18 electronic drum sounds with a sound that is typical of this era. Basic kicks, snares, toms, rimshot, closed hi hats, open hi hats, ride, crash, claps, cowbell, tambourine and cabasa. Additional sounds can be added using ROM cards. The DDD-1 also featured a sampling option allowing very short and limited sampling for that extra edge of unique sounds to add to your drumkit. Drum sounds can be triggered from the 14 assignable velocity sensitive trigger-pads and there are some individual outputs.
Programming the DDD-1 is fairly straight forward. Memory holds 100 patterns which can be linked or chained to form songs, for which there are 10 song memory locations. The drum sounds have editable parameters such as decay and tuning. For added groove in your patterns there are Roll and Flam effects. The DDD-1 is equipped with full MIDI implementation making it an easy drum machine to use in any MIDI studio. If you like typical eighties drum sounds, the DDD-1 would be a formidable alternative to other similar drum machines like the Roland TR-707 and offers more professional features than its counterpart, the DDD-5.

They still had 2 lukes (still the wrong hand painted), 1 vader, 1 snowtrooper, 2 corrected R2's and a few repacks left last night. I hope they put out an army builder set of snowtroopers. I'd love to have several more, but as hard as figures are to find this year I don't want to buy every one I see and deprive someone else of getting their first one. Still haven't seen the screen scenes.

3.13: Polygenic Traits
Are all people either short or tall?
Unlike Mendel's peas, people do not all fall into two categories: short or tall. Most people, in fact, are somewhere in between. Obviously, Mendel's rules are too simple to explain the inheritance of human height.
Polygenic Traits
Another exception to Mendel's rules is polygenic inheritance, which occurs when a trait is controlled by more than one gene. This means that each dominant allele "adds" to the expression of the next dominant allele.
Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles. If you are dominant for all of the alleles for height, then you will be very tall. There is also a wide range of skin color across people. Skin color is also a polygenic trait.
Polygenic inheritance often results in a bell shaped curve when you analyze the population (Figure below). That means that most people fall in the middle of the phenotypic range, such as average height, while very few people are at the extremes, such as very tall or very short. At one end of the curve will be individuals who are recessive for all the alleles, while at the other end will be individuals who are dominant for all the alleles. Through the middle of the curve will be individuals who have a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.
Polygenic traits tend to result in a distribution that resembles a bell-shaped curve, with few at the extremes and most in the middle. There may be 4 or 6 or more alleles involved in the phenotype. At the left extreme, individuals are completely dominant for all alleles, and at the other extreme, individuals are completely recessive for all alleles. Individuals in the middle have various combinations of recessive and dominant alleles.
