A Latin American film festival, Cinémete, a cooperative effort with the UTSA Hispanic Student Association and the Instituto de Mexico, is Sept 27-28. The free festival will include the short film "Rogelio" directed by Guillermo Arriaga (2000) and the 90-minute feature "Bajo California: El Limite del Tiempo" from director Carlos Bolado (1998). The Sept. 27 showing is 6:30 p.m. at the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02), UTSA 1604 Campus, and the Sept. 28 showing is 6:30 p.m. at the Instituto Cultural de Mexico, 600 HemisFair Plaza. A Latin American film screening is planned for each month.
On Friday, Oct. 5, the Mexico Center will host one of the most respected television news personalities in Latin America, Lolita Ayala. Known for her social-advocacy news programs and philanthropy, Ayala will visit with UTSA faculty and students and city leaders from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Mexico Center in Monterey Building Room 2.260 at the UTSA Downtown Campus. Ayala founded the organization, Sólo por Ayudar (Only to Help), in 1985 in response to the Mexico City earthquake.
After building 250 homes, the foundation has continued its contributions to Mexico, establishing a homeless shelter for children and operating a food bank that supports an estimated 60,000 people. Other missions of Sólo por Ayudar include leukemia research and treatment, kidney transplants, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome research, burn treatment and animal rights.
Topics are being finalized for the popular Brown Bag Speaker Series for this year. Last spring, the series covered international immigration issues, remittances, urbanization and retirement migration. Proposed topics for the fall include wastewater management on the Texas-Mexico border, Mexican elite migration and revitalization of Mexican-American culture in second and third-generation migrant families.
"The fall semester will be a busy one at the UTSA Mexico Center," said Harriett Romo, director of the UTSA Mexico Center and associate professor of sociology. "The film festival will be fun and we hope students, faculty and staff attend. We look forward to bringing exciting speakers to campus over the 2007-2008 academic year. We have submitted research proposals to continue to study transnational families and to look at the impact of infrastructure improvements along the U.S.-Mexico Border.

CHAPTER XIV.page: 249
YOU have no idea how uncomfortable the house was on the day when we sought for gold with the divining‐rod. It was like a spring‐cleaning in the winter‐time. All the carpets were up, because Father had told Eliza to make the place decent as there was a gentleman coming to dinner the next day. So she got in a charwoman, and they slopped water about, and left brooms and brushes on the stairs for people to tumble over. H.O. got a big bump on his head in that way, and when he said it was too bad, Eliza said he should keep in the nursery then, and not be where he'd no business. We bandaged his head with a towel, and then he stopped crying and played at being England's wounded hero dying in the cockpit, while every man was doing his duty, as the hero page: 250 had told them to, and Alice was Hardy, and I was the doctor, and the others were the crew. Playing at Hardy made us think of our own dear robber, and we wished he was there, and wondered if we should ever see him any more.
We were rather astonished at Father's having anyone to dinner, because now he never seems to think of anything but business. Before Mother died people often came to dinner, and Father's business did not take up so much of his time and was not the bother it is now. And we used to see who could go furthest down in our nightgowns and get nice things to eat, without being seen, out of the dishes as they came out of the dining‐room. Eliza can't cook very nice things. She told Father she was a good plain cook, but he says it was a fancy portrait. We stayed in the nursery till the charwoman came in and told us to be off—she was going to make one job of it, and have our carpet up as well as all the others, now the man was here to beat them. It came up, and it was very dusty—and under it we found my threepenny‐bit that I lost ages ago, which shows what Eliza is. H.O. had got tired of being the wounded hero, and Dicky was so tired of page: 251 doing nothing that Dora said she knew he'd begin to tease Noël in a minute; then of course Dicky said he wasn't going to tease anybody—he was going out to the Heath. He said he'd heard that nagging women drove a man from his home, and now he found it was quite true. Oswald always tries to be a peacemaker, so he told Dicky to shut up and not make an ass of himself. And Alice said, "Well, Dora began—"And Dora tossed her chin up and said it wasn't any business of Oswald's any way, and no one asked Alice's opinion. So we all felt very uncomfortable till Noël said, "Don't let's quarrel about nothing. You know let dogs delight—and I made up another piece while you were talking—
Quarrelling is an evil thing, It fills with gall life's cup; For when once you begin It takes such a long time to make it up.
We all laughed then and stopped jawing at each other. Noël is very funny with his poetry. But that piece happened to come out quite true. You begin to quarrel and then you can't stop; often, long before the others are ready to cry and make it up, I see how silly page: 252 it is, and I want to laugh; but it doesn't do to say so—for it only makes the others crosser than they were before. I wonder why that is?
Alice said Noël ought to be poet laureate, and she actually went out in the cold and got some laurel leaves—the spotted kind—out of the garden, and Dora made a crown and we put it on him. He was quite pleased; but the leaves made a mess, and Eliza said, "Don't." I believe that's a word grown‐ups use more than any other. Then suddenly Alice thought of that old idea of hers for finding treasure, and she said—
"Do let's try the divining‐rod."
So Oswald said, "Fair priestess, we do greatly desire to find gold beneath our land, therefore we pray thee practise with the divining‐rod, and tell us where we can find it."
"Do ye desire to fashion of it helms and hauberks?" said Alice.
"Yes," said Noël; "and chains and ouches."
"I bet you don't know what an 'ouch' is," said Dicky.
"Yes I do, so there!" said Noël. "It's a carcanet. I looked it out in the dicker, now then!"page: 253
We asked him what a carcanet was, but he wouldn't say.
"And we want to make fair goblets of the gold," said Oswald.
"Yes, to drink cocoanut milk out of," said H.O.
"And we desire to build fair palaces of it," said Dicky.
"And to buy things," said Dora—"a great many things. New Sunday frocks and hats and kid gloves and—"
She would have gone on for ever so long only we reminded her that we hadn't found the gold yet.
By this Alice had put on the nursery table‐cloth, which is green, and tied the old blue and yellow antimacassar over her head, and she said—
"If your intentions are correct, fear nothing and follow me."
And she went down into the hall. We all followed chanting "Heroes." It is a gloomy thing the girls learnt at the High School, and we always use it when we want a priestly chant.
Alice stopped short by the hat‐stand, and held up her hands as well as she could for the table‐cloth, and said—page: 254
"Now, great altar of the golden idol, yield me the divining‐rod that I may use it for the good of the suffering people."
The umbrella‐stand was the altar of the golden idol, and it yielded her the old school umbrella. She carried it between her palms.
"Now," she said, "I shall sing the magic chant. You mustn't say anything, but just follow wherever I go—like follow my leader, you know—and when there is gold underneath the magic rod will twist in the hand of the priestess like a live thing that seeks to be free. Then you will dig, and the golden treasure will be revealed. H.O., if you make that clatter with your boots they'll come and tell us not to. Now come on all of you."
So she went upstairs and down and into every room. We followed her on tiptoe, and Alice sang as she went. What she sang is not out of a book—Noël made it up while she was dressing up for the priestess.
Ashen rod cold That here I hold, Teach me where to find the gold.
When we came to where Eliza was, she said, "Get along with you"; but Dora said it was only a game, and we wouldn't touch anything, page: 255 and our boots were quite clean, and Eliza might as well let us. So she did.
It was all right for the priestess, but it was a little dull for the rest of us, because she wouldn't let us sing, too; so we said we'd had enough of it, and if she couldn't find the gold we'd leave off and play something else. The priestess said, "All right, wait a minute," and went on singing. Then we all followed her back into the nursery, where the carpet was up and the boards smelt of soft soap. Then she said, "It moves, it moves! Once more the choral hymn!" So we sang "Heroes" again, and in the middle the umbrella dropped from her hands.
"The magic rod has spoken," said Alice; "dig here, and that with courage and despatch." We didn't quite see how to dig, but we all began to scratch on the floor with our hands, but the priestess said, "Don't be so silly! It's the place where they come to do the gas. The board's loose. Dig an you value your lives, for ere sundown the dragon who guards this spoil will return in his fiery fury and make you his unresisting prey."
So we dug—that is, we got the loose board up. And Alice threw up her arms and cried—page: 256
"See the rich treasure—the gold in thick layers, with silver and diamonds stuck in it!"
"Like currants in cake," said H.O.
"It's a lovely treasure," said Dicky yawning. "Let's come back and carry it away another day."
But Alice was kneeling by the hole.
"Let me feast my eyes on the golden splendour," she said, "hidden these long centuries from the human eye. Behold how the magic rod has led us to treasures more—Oswald, don't push so!—more bright than ever monarch—I say, there is something down there, really. I saw it shine!"
We thought she was kidding, but when she began to try to get into the hole, which was much too small, we saw she meant it, so I said, "Let's have a squint," and I looked, but I couldn't see anything, even when I lay down on my stomach. The others lay down on their stomachs too and tried to see, all but Noël, who stood and looked at us and said we were the great serpents come down to drink at the magic pool. He wanted to be the knight and slay the great serpents with his good sword—he even drew the umbrella ready—but Alice said, "All right, we will in a minute. page: 257 But now—I'm sure I saw it; do get a match, Noël, there's a dear."
"What did you see?" asked Noël, beginning to go for the matches very slowly.
"Something bright, away in the corner under the board against the beam."
"Perhaps it was a rat's eye," Noël said, "or a snake's," and we did not put our heads quite so close to the hole till he came back with the matches.
Then I struck a match, and Alice cried, "There it is!"
And there it was, and it was a half‐sovereign, partly dusty and partly bright. We think perhaps a mouse, disturbed by the carpets being taken up, may have brushed the dust of years from part of the half‐sovereign with his tail. We can't imagine how it came there, only Dora thinks she remembers once when H.O. was very little Mother gave him some money to hold, and he dropped it, and it rolled all over the floor. So we think perhaps this was part of it. We were very glad. H.O. wanted to go out at once and buy a mask he had seen for fourpence. It had been a shilling mask, but now it was going very cheap because Guy Fawkes' day was over, and it was a little cracked at the top. page: 258 But Dora said, "I don't know that it's our money. Let's wait and ask Father."
But H.O. did not care about waiting, and I felt for him. Dora is rather like grown‐ups in that way; she does not seem to understand that when you want a thing you do want it, and that you don't wish to wait, even a minute.
So we went and asked Albert‐next‐door's uncle. He was pegging away at one of the rotten novels he has to write to make his living, but he said we weren't interrupting him at all.
"My hero's folly has involved him in a difficulty," he said. "It is his own fault. I will leave him to meditate on the incredible fatuity—the hare‐brained recklessness—which have brought him to this pass. It will be a lesson to him. I, meantime, will give myself unreservedly to the pleasures of your conversation."
That's one thing I like Albert's uncle for. He always talks like a book, and yet you can always understand what he means. I think he is more like us, inside of his mind, than most grown‐up people are. He can pretend beautifully. I never met anyone else so good at it, except our robber, and we began it, with him. page: 259 But it was Albert's uncle who first taught us how to make people talk like books when you're playing things, and he made us learn to tell a story straight from the beginning, not starting in the middle like most people do. So now Oswald remembered what he had been told, as he generally does, and began at the beginning, but when he came to where Alice said she was the priestess, Albert's uncle said—
"Let the priestess herself set forth the tale in fitting speech."
So Alice said, "O high priest of the great idol, the humblest of thy slaves took the school umbrella for a divining‐rod, and sang the song of inver—what's‐it's‐name?"
"Invocation perhaps?" said Albert's uncle.
"Yes; and then I went about and about and the others got tired, so the divining‐rod fell on a certain spot, and I said, 'Dig', and we dug—it was where the loose board is for the gas men—and then there really and truly was a half‐sovereign lying under the boards, and here it is."
Albert's uncle took it and looked at it.
"The great high priest will bite it to see if it's good," he said, and he did. "I congratulate you," he went on; "you are indeed page: 260 among those favoured by the Immortals. First you find half‐crowns in the garden, and now this. The high priest advises you to tell your Father, and ask if you may keep it. My hero has become penitent, but impatient. I must pull him out of this scrape. Ye have my leave to depart."
Of course we know from Kipling that that means, "You'd better bunk, and be sharp about it," so we came away. I do like Albert's uncle. I shall be like that when I'm a man. He gave us our Jungle books, and he is awfully clever, though he does have to write grown‐up tales.
We told Father about it that night. He was very kind. He said we might certainly have the half‐sovereign, and he hoped we should enjoy ourselves with our treasure‐trove.
Then he said, "Your dear Mother's Indian Uncle is coming to dinner here to‐morrow night. So will you not drag the furniture about overhead, please, more than you're absolutely obliged; and H.O. might wear slippers or something. I can always distinguish the note of H.O.'s boots."
We said we would be very quiet, and Father went on—page: 261
"This Indian Uncle is not used to children, and he is coming to talk business with me. It is really important that he should be quiet. Do you think, Dora, that perhaps bed at six for H.O. and Noël—"
But H.O. said, "Father, I really and truly won't make a noise. I'll stand on my head all the evening sooner than disturb the Indian Uncle with my boots."
And Alice said Noël never made a row anyhow.
So Father laughed and said, "All right." And he said we might do as we liked with the half‐sovereign. "Only for goodness" sake don't try to go in for business with it," he said. "It's always a mistake to go into business with an insufficient capital."
We talked it over all that evening, and we decided that as we were not to go into business with our half‐sovereign it was no use not spending it at once, and so we might as well have a right royal feast. The next day we went out and bought the things. We got figs, and almonds and raisins, and a real raw rabbit, and Eliza promised to cook it for us if we would wait till tomorrow, because of the Indian Uncle coming to dinner. She was very busy cooking nice things for him to eat. We got page: 262 the rabbit because we are so tired of beef and mutton, and Father hasn't a bill at the poultry shop. And we got some flowers to go on the dinner‐table for Father's party. And we got hardbake and raspberry noyau and peppermint rock and oranges and a cocoanut, with other nice things. We put it all in the top long drawer. It is H.O.'s play drawer, and we made him turn his things out and put them in Father's old portmanteau. H.O. is getting old enough now to learn to be unselfish, and besides, his drawer wanted tidying very badly. Then we all vowed by the honour of the ancient House of Bastable that we would not touch any of the feast till Dora gave the word next day. And we gave H.O. some of the hardbake, to make it easier for him to keep his vow. The next day was the most rememorable day in all our lives, but we didn't know that then. But that is another story. I think that is such a useful way to know when you can't think how to end up a chapter. I learnt it from another writer named Kipling. I've mentioned him before, I believe, but he deserves it!

Mr Simranjit Singh, chairman, BioSingapore
Biomedical association of Singapore, BioSingapore, recently appointed Mr Simranjit Singh, director, strategic planning Asia, Quintiles, as its new chairman. In an interview with BioSpectrum Asia, Mr Singh talks about his role as the head of the association and plans for the future.
Among various things, the association plans to put together a directory of profiles of Singapore companies and their technologies highlighting opportunities for international collaboration and partnerships to enhance the reputation and brand equity of its biomedical sciences companies in the region. In his new role, Mr Singh says he will encourage greater interactions among various stakeholders and build BioSingapore as a catalyst for further growth and maturity of the industry. Excerpts from the interview:
In your new role as the chairman, what are the initiatives you are going to take for BioSingapore?
BioSingapore has refocused its strategy to three broad areas. Firstly, to develop a talent and financing framework by working collaboratively with the academia and the research institutions to develop entrepreneurship courses for researchers to encourage them to focus on R&D that can translate into useful commercial applications. In order to create awareness on available financing options, BioSingapore is intending to set up an investor panel comprising government entities such as SPRING, A*STAR and the Economic Development Board (EDB), venture capitalists, incubators or accelerators and angels (investors) to provide mentorship, investment guidance and possibly investments in local companies.
BioSingapore will also assist in nurturing and encouraging new start-ups in biomedical sciences industry by amplifying and aggregating existing programs by various government entities and business federations. This includes programs such as the GET-Up Scheme that encourages scientific researchers to be part of a start-up environment and the Action Community for Entrepreneurship (ACE), a mentoring program to guide and provide grants for new start-ups. BioSingapore will also look at driving more regional collaborations for market expansion and co-development opportunities for local start-ups and biomedical sciences companies in the region. A directory of profiles of Singaporean companies and their technologies will be put together highlighting opportunities for international collaboration and partnerships. This will enhance the reputation and brand equity of Singaporean Biomedical Sciences companies in the region.
Will there be any major changes in the structure, focus or overall plans of the association?
The major change will be in increased attention on growing the pool of Singaporean biomedical start-ups. This will be done by reaching out to more local researchers, scientists, academia and entrepreneurial graduates. Also, BioSingapore will focus on increasing the engagement and participation of successful local companies to act as mentors to share their road to success.

I read the poll referenced in the Huffington Post article. There are a number of things in it that give me pause. I would guess that most folks didn't really think about the ramifications of the actions that many of the questions alluded to.
Question 14 addresses keeping weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill and others. At first glance, I am for keeping guns away from crazies, but then the question is how crazy? Does visiting a mental health professional for depression for instance, put you on the list, what about an eating disorder, etc.? Who are the "others" they mention?
Question 16 requires that no one possess a firearm within 1000' of many federal officials!!! Seems like too much of an opportunity for law enforcement abuse to me and just clutters up the code books. What do you do when one comes to spend the day quail hunting at your hunting camp, drives down your street, or gives a speech a couple of blocks over from where you are with your legal firearm?
Question 17 concerns enforcement of ALL existing gun laws. Really hard to voice an opinion without knowing exactly what those laws are and which ones aren't being enforced. If they are going to ask that question, i think that there needs to be a lot more information before one can give a reasonable answer.
Question 18 suggests that anyone ARRESTED for (not charged with or convicted of) a drug offense should lose their right to own a gun. I'm all for keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous felons, but to suggest that being caught with a joint in your pocket (by the way, I have never used any drug not prescribed by my doctor and don't drink either) should be cause for the loss of your rights is just ludicrous and what would prevent the police from just arresting you without cause to harass you? (No offense to all the great officers in the country). The part about failing a "federally administered drug test" really makes my skin crawl. (under what conditions would you be tested?)
#19 Suggests that anyone that attempts to buy a firearm and fails the background test should be reported to law enforcement.
#23 sounds pretty good (deals with folks on the terrorist watch list), but there needs to be some appeal as there are apparently thousands and thousands of folks on that list that probably shouldn't be.
#24 Would prevent the person who was urinating in the park and got charged with flashing (a misdemeanor sex crime) from owning a fire arm. Why would anyone convicted of a NON-violent MISDEMEANOR offense lose their constitutional rights?
#28 suggests that we need a national registry (makes it easier when they really want to come get them and if FOIA requests would allow access to the registry, well, what a can of worms that would be)
#31 addresses background checks for ammunition purchases. Think of the paperwork and the number of people needed to handle it at all levels. What a nightmare.
All of these ideas were favored by more than 50% of the respondents.
The real problem with making big decisions based on opinion polls in general is that polls are easily manipulated, overly simplistic, and often require fairly quick answers without any real consideration of what the potential outcomes of the various answers might actually be.
These polls allow folks to say "this is what the people think" without giving the respondents the information (or finding out if the people actually have the information) needed to form a meaningful opinion.

Leave it to the Biebs to sport some weird combo of knitted sweater and letterman jacket like it's geek chic, and one that costs $1,700, no less!
John obviously wasn't attached to this moose sweater he sported on his Ellen visit in 2009, because later he offered it up as a prize to his fans for a baking competition. That, or he loved it so much that he knew he had to let it go.
The 2010 Glee Christmas card featured stars Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, and others sporting typical ugly sweaters. Except for Jane Lynch, of course.
The Today show sweater that inspired this gallery.
David tried to slouch away from the paparazzi, but you could probably see that darling knit sweater from space.
Leave it to the Biebs to sport some weird combo of knitted sweater and letterman jacket like it's geek chic, and one that costs $1,700, no less!
Yes, we're counting it even though it was part of her SNL monologue. And yes, we're gonna say that it's uglier than the "California Gurls" ensemble Kristen Wiig has on.
So their sweaters aren't really ugly... Really we just wanted an excuse to post these cute photos of the couple from Gap's celebrities-wearing-our-clothes campaign a few years back.
Just a few weeks ago, The Killers released their annual holiday song--and "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball" had these cheesy sweaters to go with it.
Cee Lo has this badass "don't fuck with my Christmas sweater" look on his face.
Of course Troy and Abed's bromance would extend to ugly sweater wearing.
Love it.
Technically, Paramore was performing at some sort of "ugly Christmas sweater" party, so she may be the only person on our list who was paid well to wear that.
Thankfully, Kanye didn't impose his judgment over who has the best sweater on our next entry...
We both love and hate Taylor Swift for a) voluntarily buying an ugly Christmas sweater and b) making it look good.
This one is gonna appear in every "ugly sweaters" gallery, because it's one of the most enduring (and endearing) images from Bridget Jones' Diary.

Sequoia Healthcare District says: "One dollar and twenty-seven cents returned for every tax dollar collected"
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Nov 15, 2012
The Sequoia Healthcare District collects ~$9,000,000/year in property taxes originally assessed to build, operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital. That hospital is now owned by Dignity Health.
Grand Juries in 2000-2002 suggested that the district could stop collecting taxes on an annual basis, with direct savings to homeowning taxpayers. Is there a better way to return taxes which have lost their purpose? That could have prevented a few foreclosures.
Instead, the District decided to continue collecting those taxes to pursue pseudo-philanthropic activities not intended by voters when they established the district.
The district could still do that. Instead, they have hired a $182,000/year CEO, Web Link a $56,400/year PR person, a program manager to hand out millions of dollars in subsidies to schools with budget crises, another program manager who gives away "life-saving" defibrillator devices and collects anecdotal stories to promote the district. Web Link Their annual budget calls for $60,000/year for directors health insurance, $50,000 for investment fees, $25,000 for legal fees and $25,000 for their "Report to the Community". Web Link
They pay $40,000/year for membership in Redwood City 2020 and the Association of California Healthcare Districts. Junkets to annual meetings add to the waste.
They have donated millions of dollars to support Sequoia Hospital after they sold it.
They spend $1,000,000/year to educate nurses, with less than half of them working in the district.
Web Link
The Sequoia Healthcare District must be dissolved.

An update to the $1,000,000 Nursing Program
Web Link shows that $739,000+ of that subsidy is being expended each year with no benefit to the community served by the District.
It appears that the primary beneficiaries of the subsidy are:
1. Sequoia Hospital*, which employs 64 of the Graduate Nurses,
2. The California Nurses Association
3. The Graduate Nurses
* Note: Sequoia Hospital is no longer owned by the Sequoia Healthcare District.

i liked it, even though the other skiff was odd looking
ACPin, really nice diorama indeed and nice beefed up Skiff and as all of you and your sons other LEGO Star Wars dioramas I like it a whole lot as its cool to see what others have created from their bricks so keep up the very excellent work you guys.
Kindest Regards,
Lars Olsson in Sundsvall, Sweden.

Very cool and creative. I myself am a "pre-SE, no-beak sarlacc" chooser, but your "beak sarlacc" works pretty well. I tried to do something like this, but didn't get past the bigger skiff. However, I used a lot of Rock Raiders and UFO and Ninja bits to cobble together my skiff guards which was really cool.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
We were gonna try and do a sail barge but didn't have enough pieces to do it. So we improvised and created a skiff that was just the right size to complement the diorama.
What you don't see in the pics is the foundation of the Sarlacc pit which was a tough going when we started.
Thanks for all your comments...

Im pretty confident that I can answer just about any question about the band or their music you may have. Ive been a fan since 1972 and have followed their careers (collectively and as solo artists,) closely ever since. In addition, I've amassed a vast database on all things Moody - from "completest" discographies for the band and all of their solo projects, to extensive bibliographies, videographies, posterfiles, etc. I have an extensive collection of memorabilia; both group and related solo projects. My collection includes vinyl, CDs, tapes (cassette, 8-track, and reel,) posters, shirts, sheet music and songbooks, back stage passes, magazines, books and other publications, equipment, and video. If I dont know it, I know where to find it. All you have to do is ask!
Ive been a fan of the band since 1972. I was a contributing editor to "Higher and Higher", the Moody Blues Magazine 1994, to the magazines untimely demise in 2007, writing the Videography Department.
As noted previously, much of my writing has appeared in Higher and Higher since 1994, but I also wrote a piece that appeared in issue #1 of Mike Pinders newsletter Have You Heard.
Though I havent yet finished, my educational focus is on a Journalism degree.
Awards and Honors
I've also had the good fortune to have traveled to England to catch the end of the Band's Spring 2000 concert tour; a trip I've always wanted to take. Ive supplied research information on the band to a number of sources, including the July 5, 2004 English Quiz Show Mastermind which featured a contestant whose expertise was also the Moody Blues. I also participated in the UK Channel 4 presentation of the Top Ten program's episode on Progressive Rock, that featured the Moody Blues at #3 on their list. That program aired on March 3, 2001.

Sorry, I posted this in the L.A. thread like a dope...but I'm looking for an ARC Trooper Battle Pack. I like about 20 min. north of the city, saw one of these at Target once a few weeks ago, passed on it like an idiot (well, because it was the end of the month and I really shouldn't have spent the money), then later looked it up online, saw how cool it was, went back the next day to look, it was gone.
Last I've seen one other than on eBay. My local Target doesn't even look like it's refreshing the pegs!
Anyway, hope someone has seen these around here. I'm trying to avoid making an eBay purchase, holding out to see if they start showing up. Give us hope?

BILOXI — The records arrived in October at the Sun Herald's front desk in a brown business envelope.
The sender stenciled the address on the envelope rather than reveal any handwriting.
Inside, reporters discovered documents that indicated much was amiss at the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
Pursuit of answers to questions raised by those records, plus more information MDMR supplied in the fall under the Public Records Act, resulted in articles about millions in questionable spending under the agency's executive director, Bill Walker.
The agency's governing board fired Walker on Jan. 15. Commissioners said at the time they were unaware of all the agency's activities and even uninformed on the amount of money that flows through the MDMR, having seen only annual state budgets of less than $20 million a year but not the $64 million to $111 million the agency received in federal and other funds in most recent years.
Both the State Auditor's Office and the FBI have ramped up probes of misspending at the agency charged with protecting and enhancing the state's coastal resources.
In February, the flow of information from the MDMR to the newspaper ceased.
The agency's attorneys said financial records the newspaper wanted had been subpoenaed by the State Auditor's Office and therefore were exempt from public disclosure. The Sun Herald and the MDMR are locked in a lawsuit over access to the records.
The MDMR attorneys, Joe Runnels and Sandy Chesnut of the state Attorney General's Office, communicate with the newspaper only through its attorney, Henry Laird.
"When we have millions of dollars being spent over many years and questions of impropriety arise, the public is entitled to know how its government is run and how its tax dollars are being spent," Laird said. "The only way to do that is to have access to the records, which prove how the money has been spent and prove how the government has been running.
"It keeps government honest.
"The criminal investigation has nothing to do with our public records request. If the DMR was subpoenaed for records, it should have made a copy to comply with our records request and maintained the integrity of its own records, rather than to give them to some other state or federal agency."
Records the Sun Herald reviewed and reported about before being cut off revealed millions in spending is in question at the MDMR. Under Walker, appointed director in 2002, the agency initiated and funded a nonprofit land trust's purchase of property that belonged to Walker's son, interviews and public records have revealed.
A federal audit questioned a total of $12.6 million in spending for properties bought with Coastal Impact Assistance Funds the MDMR received from the federal government, which collects the money from oil companies for states impacted by offshore drilling. Included was the purchase of land from the parents of the agency's CIAP manager, Tina Shumate, who has since resigned.
The agency also spent $1.4 million to equip and maintain recreational fishing boats owned by a private foundation Walker directed, ostensibly to support the MDMR. But records the Sun Herald reviewed showed no money flowing from the foundation to the MDMR. The newspaper also has reported the MDMR occasionally used the boats to take politicians and other influential people on fishing trips.
Walker's Mississippi Marine Resources Foundation also collected thousands in fines and $115,162 from an oil company because of its stated support for the MDMR. Politicians, including Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, have begun returning campaign donations they received from the foundation because of the controversy now surrounding it.
The MDMR's interim director, former state legislator Danny Guice, told the Sun Herald in February that he was unable to account for $4 million in state Tidelands funds the MDMR had received over a decade. A few days later, he said he had found $2.3 million of the money. He provided a list of fund names, but cut the pages in half so that no financial information was included. He now refuses to discuss the funds, again saying they are the subject of investigation.
"When an agency refuses to open public records, especially financial records, it's a red flag that immediately triggers suspicion that there is something they want to hide from the public," said Jeanni Atkins, a University of Mississippi journalism professor and executive director of the Mississippi Center for Freedom of Information.
"Whether or not bad judgment or misuse of funds had occurred, attempting to keep financial information secret the public is entitled to know raises questions about how money had been used. Questions the public deserves to have answered."
The friction over access to public records is as old as government itself, said Kevin Goldberg, legal counsel to the American Society of News Editors.
"While we talk about the people's right to know, governments operate primarily on a need to know basis, as in, 'The public only needs to know this,' " Goldberg said. "That's always been the eternal struggle with regard to open records and open meetings — that is the right to know vs. the need to know."
The Sun Herald and the MDMR are scheduled for a hearing April 23 in Harrison County Chancery Court on the newspaper's public records lawsuit.
Before an expedited court hearing in the case in January, the MDMR attorneys agreed the records in question were public and would be released. The attorneys even outlined in emails conditions under which the Sun Herald could review the paper records, boxed up in a room at the Bolton Office building in Biloxi, where the MDMR is headquartered and the auditor's office has set up its review.
Because of the agreement, the expedited hearing was canceled. Now the attorneys blame the state auditor's office for failure to release the records.
Goldberg said: "They're following the play book that many government entities use, which is delay, delay, delay, obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. 'Come after us if you dare and maybe we'll turn over the records then.'
"Agencies know that there's no real enforcement mechanism to compel them to produce records, no penalties that really affect them. So if they really want to hide something, they can take advantage of the text of the law to drag things out as long as they can and make it a very frustrating experience."
Anita Lee, who covers local government and in-depth topics for the Sun Herald, is a member of the newspaper's team reporting on the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.

I did a search for ReBoot on this part of the forums, and I can't believe I got no results. What did others here think of this cartoon? and is anyone upset by the fact that we'll likely never get more episodes due to changes made at Mainframe Entertainment?
This cartoon had the most unique concept I've ever seen, and almost every episode that wasn't rolling-on-the-floor hysterical was exciting or offered at least something that was awesome. It always had tons of crazy references, like in The Episode with No Name (my favorite), which had a little city inspired by Mos Eisley, complete with Stormtroopers and a cantina with a crazy band. That same episode referenced The Last Starfighter (Gun: death blossom mode!), The Six Million Dollar Man, and any number of other genre and non-genre sources.
My friends and I were absolutely ecstatic when "Season IV" was announced, and we were quite pleased with what they had of the conflict with Daemon, however, we did have our problems. We were unhappy seeing the conflict with Daemon end so quickly. "Season IV" (and I put quotation marks around that, because Reboot: Daemon Rising and My Two Bobs were two movies, which were seperated into smaller episodes referred to as the fourth season) went eight total episodes and the first four of those dealt with the super chron virus Daemon and her attempts to spread "The Word" around the net, and the second four dealt with a second Bob who shows up, and at first is apparently a copy of our good Guardian 452, aka Bob. These last four episodes were probably the four weakest episodes of the entire series, and they only added a little backstory to the Matrix family, Enzo and Dot. I would have much rather all eight episodes show the conflict with Daemon, which was a far superior story, and was not done service by comprising only four small episodes (the build up to Daemon was at least a season and a half long). We were also extremely unhappy My Two Bobs ended on a cliffhanger, because of course that means we'll never get even that story finished for us.
Anyway, guardians; keytools; systems; Wizards, Warriors, and a Word From Our Sponsors were all good things, and I definitely miss this show. Anyone else?

- Description
Taylor Valley is the southern one of the three large Dry Valleys in the Transantarctic Mountains, Victoria Land, located west of McMurdo Sound. The valley extends from Taylor Glacier in the west to McMurdo Sound at Explorers Cove at the northwest head of New Harbor in the east and is about 29 km long. It was once occupied by the receding Taylor Glacier, from which it derives its name. Taylor valley was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04), it was more fully explored by the BrAE (1907-09) and the BrAE (1910-13), and named after Australian Geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor. (wiki)
Commonwealth Glacier is a glacier which flows in a southeastern direction and enters the northern side of Taylor Valley immediately west of Mount Coleman, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Charted and named by the British Antarctic Expedition under Scott, 1910-13. Named for the Commonwealth of Australia, which made a financial grant to the expedition and contributed two members to the Western Geological Party which explored this area.

Went to Cequlai instead, a stunning little white sand island about 20 mins from Levuka. I spent four days here and it was fantastic. Good food, great company and incredible snokelling. I felt like I was looking at a very expensive aquarium! Especially at low-tide, when I could get right up close to the coral. I didn't even bother diving here because the snorkelling was so good. I was a bit wary after diving in Kadavu that the compressors for the tanks might not be maintained (The gas I tasted in Kadavu definitely tasted of petrol fumes.. yikes!)
We also played a lot of volleyball which made my day, and every night was kava night! I felt totally and utterly relaxed and very happy, especially after convincing the boys to climb a few trees and procure us some fresh coconuts. I can climb them no probs (they have ridges you can just walk up), but I seem to take off half the skin from my inner thighs when I descend... Best left to the professionals...

Multiple lentigines syndrome is an inherited disorder in which there is an increased number of lentigines (freckle-like spots) on the body.
LEOPARD syndrome
Multiple lentigines syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. This means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease.
Persons with this condition have large numbers of lentigines. Lentigines are skin markings that are darker than true freckles. They are present from birth. They are located mostly on the trunk and neck.
Symptoms of multiple lentigines include:
Note: Scattered lentigines is normal and does not indicate a problem.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and listen to your heart with a stethoscope. There may be signs of a heart valve problems or obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Tests that may be done can include:
Symptoms are treated as appropriate. A hearing aid may be needed. Hormone treatment may be necessary at the expected time of puberty to cause the normal changes to occur.
Laser or bleaching creams may help lighten some of the brown spots on the skin.
Most patients adjust very well with proper attention to their specific problems.
Complications vary and include:
Call your health care provider if there are symptoms of this disorder.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have a family history of this disorder and plan to have children.
Genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of multiple lentigines syndrome who want to have children.

Under-21 duo on recent run
Jack Price and Liam McAlinden believe Wolves have now fully adapted to life in the Under-21 Elite Group, after battling to a goalless draw at Manchester United to make it four games unbeaten.
Midfielder Price and striker McAlinden, both of whom have signed new contracts this season, have been among the mainstays of the Under-21 side which has impressed this season in qualifying for the Elite Stage and now posting an impressive four game unbeaten run.
Winger Zeli Ismail was sent off after just ten minutes of Monday's game at Altrincham, but Steve Weaver's side produced a mature display in front of a crowd including Sir Alex Ferguson and against a team featuring the likes of Anderson, Chris Smalling, Alexander Buttner and Nick Powell.
And while it was a solid performance which underpinned the clean sheet and point, Wolves also created chances on the break which could have actually won the game.
"We dug it out and worked really hard for each other," said Price.
"We've got a good chemistry in the team and everyone puts it in for each other.
"We had a couple of chances even if they weren't really clear-cut but we did well to hold on and get the point.
"They had some good players and it's always enjoyable to go up against people like Anderson.
"When you are out there on the pitch you forget who he is really but it's afterwards when you look back at the game you can see what he does and maybe assess how you did against him.
"It's great to come up against players of that quality."
McAlinden added: "It was all about keeping our shape and making ourselves difficult to break down.
"The red card changed the game and was unfortunate because Zeli had started really well.
"Had it stayed eleven against eleven I think we would have had a good chance of winning.
"It was a good experience for me to be up there on my own against players like Smalling – it is experiences like that which make you a better player."
Wolves started the Elite Stage with three successive defeats, but the four game unbeaten run has taken them sixth in the eight-team table at the halfway point, just three points off the third place which would secure qualification for the finals.
Price believes Wolves have benefitted from work on the training pitch as they adapted to the demands of doing battle with the top young players in the country.
"I think we have worked a lot harder in the last few games," he added.
"Maybe in the first few games we didn't keep our shape and we suffered but now we are playing as a team and know when to play and when not to play.
"Weaves (Steve Weaver) has got a framework in place and we're working hard in training and it's paying off in the games.
"I feel we can do well in the league going on from here now with the confidence of the run behind us.
"If we can get some more points then you never know what can happen.
"As players we want to win games even though we know at this stage sometimes it's more about development.
"We can balance that with getting results and it's always nice to pick up points against the really good teams."
McAlinden added: "I think my all-round game is improving from coming up against the quality of opposition.
"In the elite stage we've come up against some players who are worth millions of pounds and it's all very good experience.
"And I've had a decent season goals-wise and am into double figures now which is good."
Boss Dean Saunders and CEO Jez Moxey both took in Monday night's game, and the boss has been a regular watcher at Telford for the home fixtures, the next of which is Monday's visit of second-placed Liverpool (7pm).
"It's nice when the gaffer is watching," adds McAlinden.
"He wants players who work hard and he came in after the game on Monday and said how pleased he was with the performance."

What you will need to make 4 parachute guys
– 2 plastic bags
– 4 Lego mini figures
– eco-friendly packing tape
– hole punch
– twine or string
– scissors
– tape measure
– 4 buttons
Step 1
Ask your child to find the most colorful pieces of plastic bags from the recycling bin. Have them measure a 10″ x 10″ square on each piece. You can use the front and back of two plastic bags to make four parachutes.
Step 2
When you're done, you should have four squares that are all 10″ x 10″.
Step 3
Use eco-friendly packing tape to add a layer of tape to each of the four corners of each parachute. This will allow you to easily punch through the plastic with a hole punch and will ensure that the parachute doesn't rip apart after your child launches it.
Step 4
Punch a hole in each of the four corners on all of the parachutes.
Step 5
Have your child measure and cut (if they are old enough) four 24″ pieces of twine for each of the parachutes.
Step 6
Secure each end of the twine with a double-knot to each of the four corners of the parachute.
Step 7
Thread each of the four pieces of twine through the hole on a button. There should be one piece of twine to each button hole.
Step 8
Measure approximately 6″ down the twine, tie a knot, right below the button.
Step 9
Right below the button, secure your Lego mini figure. We separated the twine into two equal pieces and tied the twine in a double knot around the mini figure's waist.
Step 10
Cut off the excess twine, and carefully roll the parachute closed, leaving the Lego mini figure on the outside.
Step 11
Find a safe high spot to launch your parachute Lego mini figures. We jumped over to my son's grandparents house (they live in a condo) and launched them from the fourth and fifth floors.
Step 12
Watch your child cheer for their parachute Lego mini figure during the launch.
Step 13
Watch our for that tree! Make sure to launch your parachute Lego mini figures away from trees. Luckily, we were able to rescue this guy!

FSU Student Among Interns at FCX Systems
Friday, June 21, 2013
FCX Systems in Morgantown has taken on Charlie Drazba, Malissa Lake and Chas McFarland as summer student interns. The interns will be working in departments such as research and development, engineering and on the production floor.
"Interns bring a sense of excitement which is contagious to the whole group, said Allen Wright, Senior Vice President of R&D and Engineering. "Along with fresh views and opinions, there is always the benefit of discovering an overlooked solution while explaining a problem."


text: Some of the BAD figures don't really match up the way I thought they were supposed to based on the rebelscum archive. For instance, I was just at a Wal-Mart and practically everything there had silver U-3PO parts even though the figures had a wide range of numbers. I haven't been following this closely so could someone explain? Is there a more definitive list out there? I'm not a completist but there are a couple droids (like HK-47) I want fairly BADly. Thanks

All of us as human beings experience depression from time to time. We are creatures of habit and some of us can get into patterns of being depressed on a regular basis. Depression can come from multiple sources. A lack of confidence and self-esteem are major causes of depression. Depression can also be seen as the opposite of expression, meaning that some people hold anger and assertiveness inside. That powerful energy needs to go somewhere, so it is turned back against the self, resulting in depression (sort of an attack against the self). My approach is to help you become more aware of what may be contributing to your depression and addressing those issues. I am good at helping people shif

Yes, the advertisements are correct, Depression hurts! It hurts physically, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. It is also about hope. I work with clients to increase their hope. Benefits of depression work include more energy, better sleep, increased ability to focus, added sense of joy, greater functioning on the job and in relationships. Clients report more satisfaction with their spouse or significant other, with their children, with their friends, with their bosses and co-workers. Most importantly, clients report a greater sense of self-worth and self-efficacy.

Roger Shimomura: Lithographs
March 8 - April 6March 29, Reception 6:00PM - 8:00PM
Roger Shimomura, American Guardian (detail)
The artist says of the work presented at Bannister Gallery:
"This exhibition of lithographs not only offers a few of my earliest memories of life in Camp Minidoka, Idaho, but is also meant to bring attention to the failure of America during WWII to distinguish between the Americans of Japanese descent and the Japanese enemy that ultimately led to the incarceration of innocent people. I also offer this exhibition as a metaphor referring to the 9/11 disaster and as a warning and reminder that during times of international crises our government tends to lose its memory regarding past injustices towards its own people."
Roger Shimomura is University Distinguished Professor of Art Emeritus at the University of Kansas.
On March 29 he will present the keynote address for the Open Books–Open Minds series Student Conference. This year's series focuses on Julie Otsuka's novel When the Emperor Was Divine. Set in the 1940s, Otsuka's book recounts the experiences of a Japanese American family who were reclassified as "enemy aliens" and placed in an internment camp in the American West.
The address will take place at 4:30 p.m. in Alger Hall 110. A reception will follow.
An interview with Dr. Roger Shimomura
For more information about this series of events, Exploring the Japanese American Internment through Art and Literature, visit Open Books - Open Minds.
These events are free and open to the public.
This program is made possible through major funding support from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

November 4, 2008, will be forever remembered as the day change came to the nation. American voters went to the polls and gave Barack Obama a resounding victory. He won more votes than any candidate in U.S. history. His popularity was proven once again as 2 million people braved frigid temperatures on the National Mall to witness history on January 20, 2009, when Obama officially became the first African-American President of the United States.
Obama's father, Barack Obama, Sr., was born and raised in Kenya, Africa. His mother, Ann Dunham, was raised in Kansas. He grew up in Hawaii and graduated from Harvard Law School, in Boston, Massachusetts. Obama worked as a civil rights lawyer in Chicago, Illinois, and in 1996, was elected to the Illinois State Senate. He won a U.S. Senate seat in 2004.
The Illinois senator entered the Presidential race as an underdog, running against New York senator Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination. But his promises to unite the nation and bring change to Washington, D.C., helped him win the Democratic Party nomination and ultimately the Presidency. His historic victory reminds people that America is a place where all things are possible.

Thread: Contemplating a nano reef...
Contemplating a nano reef...
I was looking at the oceanic 8 gallon nano tank to make a small saltwater tank, basically with a nice center piece of live rock, and then some frags if possible. So this leads me to some questions of course. Would this set up have enought lighting for some corals? I would be getting a skimmer that is made for these tanks. Fish wouldn't be a huge want for me, as I will be focusing more on a beautiful coral set up. I would like some inverts, any suggestions more than welcome. Maybe one fish if possible... I would really love a seahorse, but not sure if that's a no go or not. I have a book on saltwater tanks that I have been browsing through, but any help at is greatly appreciated. I have seen some small fish in the store that I fell in love with, but not sure if I could actually have any of them...
There was one I really liked that was all black and then a white spot on either side. There were some other nice small ones I liked, can't remember names right now though.
Thanks in advance :)
(If this doesn't work out, I was thinking of doing a really nice planted betta tank, lol).40 GALLON / 6 Black Neon Tetras, 6 featherfin rainbows, 3 Khulis, 5 Macculloch Rainbows, 3 Bosemani Rainbows
Would it be your first SW tank? If so it will probably be more challenging than a larger tank (smaller SW tanks increase the difficulty of maintaining stable water parameters somewhat).
Frome what I understand that set comes with 2x 18w PC bulbs (one 10000K and one actinic). I'd say you could keep low light corals such as mushrooms and perhaps caulaustrea (candy cane/trumpet coral) or blastomussa.
The fish you described sounds like a Domino damsel, a baby one at that (they get upwards of 5"-6" when full grown and are ill-suited for such a tank). Fish selection would be limited to very small fish species (probably 1.5" or less at max size, not a 1.5" fish that gets considerably larger.
I personally wouldn't recommend a 8gal nano tank for a first go at SW.African cichlid and saltwater aquariums
Yup, domino damsel, it's a no go, lol. Like I said mainly I would want corals. Just something too look pretty on the dresser. I would want sea horses, but I think I remember reading they are hard to keep, must research more, as this would be my first sw. I don't really want something huge.40 GALLON / 6 Black Neon Tetras, 6 featherfin rainbows, 3 Khulis, 5 Macculloch Rainbows, 3 Bosemani Rainbows
Seahorses need to be fed constantly, so they are not very good candidates for nano reefs.
You could do a little zoa and/or mushroom garden pretty easily. Stock it with hermits, snails, and either a shrimp or one of the "micro" gobies (red-headed, green banded). Sounds like fun!40g SW

I don't know about diff to have i have bio 29 and its has not really jumped around in water parameters somewhat ;). so i think it may be 9 out 10 but good luck
seahorses are a defo nono for a first reef. Aquascape it with small zoanthids and shrimps. If youre after a species reef spectacular you could look into a group of anemone/sexy shrimps. Fantastic when there are no predators around to feed on them and theyll put on a great show with their wiggly tails and bright colors and such.
Might want to consider that one...___________________________________________
