text: Being a Resident Evil Fan, I was slightly disappointed by this game. There was no plot to the game. But there so many cool things to do on the game, like earning points to buy all sorts of stuff, and buy a few extra games to play. It might not be in Competition with Resident Evil 4, but it has it's own good parts, and it has bad parts, but the good parts far outweigh the bad parts. Play as a few characters with their own Special Abilities, play as them all on every level to get things you can only get with certain characters. You can move Data From Resident Evil Outbreak File 1 for the extra points and the other stuff you have unlocked. But the game speaks for itself.

Ailey founded his company in 1958, with an emphasis on ballet lines in the lower body and modern movements in the upper body. He set the dance of Revelations to a clutch of Negro spirituals, beginning with the slow, mournful "I Been 'Buked and I Been Scorned" and ending with a rollicking, joyful "Rocka My Soul In the Bosom of Abraham." I first watched this dance mesmerize an audience in a high school auditorium in Cambridge in 1967, and the images from those opening and closing sections have never left me.
Judith Jamison, the artistic director of the company since Ailey's death in 1989, first saw Revelations performed in 1963. When she joined the company as a dancer in 1965, her first rehearsal was to learn that piece.
"The company had made it look so easy," Jamison recalled, in a recent phone conversation from her New York home, "but it was very difficult to do."
The dance requires dancers to have a solid ballet foundation but also to have studied modern dance techniques, especially those developed by Lester Horton, who drew on Afro-Caribbean, Native American, and Far Eastern dance to create expressive undulations and reaching, arching poses for the whole body. In the duet of "Fix Me, Jesus," Jamison had to nail a T-position, bending from her knees into an almost flat-back pose, before she also learned the iconic role of the woman with a large white umbrella in "Wade In the Water."
Growing up in the black church, Jamison already knew all the spirituals in Revelations, and she remembers, "Coming to a company that was using those was a blessing.
"Alvin understood people and the human experience," she continued. "You don't have to be black to understand what Revelations is all about. The titles point to deliverance and salvation, survival and triumph."
Jamison noted that each generation of dancers has brought something different to Revelations: "Even though it's the same steps, they wouldn't hardly do it the same way I did it. It's better. These dancers have incredible physical challenges that we didn't have to deal with, and through all those technical demands, they still dance from the inside out, from the heart, the spirit, the soul."
Revelations uses 18 dancers; a five-minute film, by Judy Kinberg and Tom Hurwitz, will introduce the 35-minute piece. The choral arrangements, originally by Howard Roberts and Ella Jenkins, have featured such gospel greats as Tramaine Hawkins and Richard Smallwood.
The evening's program includes three other pieces: George Faison's Suite Otis (1971), a tribute to Otis Redding; Camille Brown's The Evolution of a Secured Feminine (2007); and The Hunt (2001), by Robert Battle's, who will take over the reins of AAADT in July.

Lime tabbouleh
This recipe used HFW's "tabula kisir" recipe as a starting point, but I adapted it to approximate a nice tabbouleh I've had in the good lebanese place. As usual, I make no claims to authenticity - but in my opinion there shouldn't be too much wheat (or else it comes across like a boring old couscous), and it should have a nice acid tang - in my version the lime does that really nicely. I didn't have any tomatoes in the house but you could easily add a single diced tomato too. Serves 2, takes about half an hour in total.
- 1 small handful bulgar wheat
- 1 spring onion
- 1 generous handful parsley
- 1 lime
- 1 small handful chopped walnut pieces
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Put the bulgar wheat into a large bowl (it will look like not very much!), and add just enough boiling water to cover. Put a plate over the top and leave it to steam for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, there are a few other bits you can prepare in parallel:
Wash the spring onion and the parsley and put them to one side.
Put a dry frying pan on a hot hob, and add the walnuts. Toss them around in the pan occasionally until they smell nice and toasty. Then turn off the heat and put them to one side.
Also make up the dressing. Juice the lime into a small dish or glass. Then add the chilli flakes, cumin, paprika, and tomato puree, and whisk it up with a fork. Then add the olive oil and whisk it up again. Finally mix the dressing in with the bulgar wheat, and if it hasn't already cooled completely then leave it a little while more.
Chop the spring onion finely, and the parsley too. Add them to the bulgar wheat, and add the walnuts too. It's also nice to add a little bit of peel from the lime. Mix it all around, and leave it at least a few minutes for the flavours to mix together.

By Ben Levisohn
Yes, there are still more than two hours left in the day, but it's New Year's Eve and unless something crazy happens these five stocks look to be the worst of the worst in the S&P 500 in 2013. So let's raise a big hand for Newmont Mining (NEM), Cliff's Natural Resources (CLF) Edwards Lifesciences (EW), Peabody Energy (BTU) and Teradata (TDC).
In three of the five it's easy to suss out one of the year's big themes: The collapse of the commodity bull market. There's a gold miner–Newmont Mining, which has dropped 51% this year–an iron miner–Cliff's Natural Resources, which fell 33%–and a coal miner in Peabody Energy, which is off 27%.
What went wrong? Simple: It's hard to make oodles of cash when the price of your product slides ever lower: Iron ore fell 5.4%, according to FactSet, while coal dropped 11% and gold plunged 28%. Don't be surprised if the market takes a differentiated view toward commodities in 2014, however.
Take coal, which has been hammered by cheap natural gas and efforts to reduce its use in favor of cleaner alternatives. It could get a boost however if natural gas prices head higher and as Democrats in coal states fight for their lives. Iron, meanwhile, could get a boost if the global economy–and demand–pickup.
Which leaves the poor gold miners, like Newmont. With the U.S. economy looking better and the Fed reducing its bond purchases, the price of gold could remain under pressure in 2014. The good news is that the ratio of the price of gold to the price of gold miners appears extended, and miners might be able to find a way to outperform the precious metal in next year.
Edwards Lifesciences, meanwhile, was hit by falling earnings and increased competition, which caused it to fall 27%, while Teradata fell 27% thanks to earnings disappointments and the threat posed by cheaper alternatives to Teradata's data-mining software.
Even in a year full of winners, someone had to lose.

Thy will be done
Particularly important to remember right now.
Thank you all for sharing in my grief. I'm still at the stage where I feel him jumping upon the bed, settling in, see him out of the corner of my eye, feel him next to me on the couch,,,it will just take time. But I choose to believe that the good God has created will be in heaven and for me that includes the loyal companions He was so gracious to give us...loving gifts from His hand to our hearts.

Great review joker. And for those who are annoyed by the lack of a cable slider/cinch, might I suggest the DIY alternative of a small rubber band?
It'll slide up and down, and hold those pesky cables in place, and likely even help with microphonics.
I just cut a black twist-tie short and wind it around the cable a bit:
I like it because it's easy to adjust the tension
In looking at the specs for the nozzle size I see that the ADDIEM and the Meelec M6 are both listed as 4mm. Has anyone tried M6 tips on an ADDIEM? I have an awful time trying to get a seal and I am thinking the M6 tips might help.
Allow me to add my thanks, |joker|. This thread was a big help in my purchase of the Panasonic RP-HJE900.
I'm feeling another problem coming on, though...now I want to upgrade my home phones - Sennheiser HD 497s...I feel myself sliding down a slippery & expensive slope....

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks Malcolm,
I will pass this on and yes, I think deep pockets are involved
|Willie Gunn
Well I hope he has deep pockets, here is a lead,
Reels date back to the mid 19th century and include: a Farlow walnut and brass Perth reel, c 1852; a very rare 1896 pattern Hardy brass and alloy Perfect salmon fly reel; a rare Malloch patent 1920 multiplying alloy sidecasting reel and a rare Hardy Zane-Grey 6" Monel big game multiplying reel.
Says John Mullock "the Zane-Grey is a fascinating reel recorded by Hardys that Mr Grey stipulated it must be the best big game fish reel in the world. It also has a faceplate with two Royal appointment medallions. Its expected to attract a sum around £5,000."
There is also a huge variety of angling books, paintings, china and other angling associated artefact generating a 500 lot catalogue which is already generating commission bids from across the globe.
Catalogues are available from Mullock Madeley, tel 01694 771771, or visit the website mullockmadeley.co.uk
Hardy Zane Grey Reel?
I realize that a Zane Grey Reel is not exactly a salmon reel, but I figure that this board is a good place to start looking for one.
A good friend of mine is a collector. He and a friend (the primary procurer of classic reels for the British Columbia Sportfishing Museum) are looking for a Zane Grey Big Game reel for the Museum. I told him I'd run it by you guys - so any info or even where to look next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Come home to barley and veggies slow cooked to a hearty soup - a wholesome dinner!
Stirring in the tomatoes at the end of the cooking time helps them maintain their texture and adds a fresher tomato flavor.
Instead of serving bread or rolls, top this warming vegetable soup with a handful of herb-flavored croutons and a little shredded Parmesan cheese. Finish the meal with a selection of fresh fruit.

Yes but he has to be trained. Also, at first the dog might miss the pad but will get better with training.
"I love the rod and gun and where they take me."
"Do not judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
I had a litter of pups recently and had success with sort of a "litter box" type of set up like you would have for a house cat. The pups learned to use it quickly. I used cedar shavings. Another person recommended using a type of pellets and weewee pads. The pellets work better for poo-poo's.
Do you hunt in China? I imagine there there are wild water fowl and pheasants. What's the hunting like? Will the lab be part of it?
Howard Niemi
You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
Pellets are wood dust & chips pressed together used in some wood burning stoves.
This pic shows them in a plastic pan. You then use a cat litter scoop to clean up mess then change pellets once in a while.
If you have access to lots of news paper you can use that.
The pen is what is called a X-Pen. You can find them in China probably.
Since you have a small apartment you can put a crate inside an x-pen inside your bathroom or in the kitchen or wherever. Puppy left alone unattended and bored all day will destroy things.
the x-pens are made of 8 sections you can shape as you like. The puppy pen in second picture is 2 x-pens hooked together.

Per favore, non mi rompere i coglioni.
Someone else wrote this. You may learn something useful from it to adapt to your situation.
Housebreaking a dog can be quite simple, if you understand some basic principles and follow some simple rules.
Dogs are naturally den animals, so a dog does not want to go to the bathroom where he lives. Unfortunately, most of us live in homes that are so big, that the dog does not equate our entire house with his den. Therefore, it is important to keep a dog that is not housebroken in the room you are in. If you let him leave the room, he will equate this with leaving the den, and think it is acceptable to go to the bathroom. If you are in the bedroom, shut him in the bedroom with you. If you go to the kitchen, take him with you. If it is not possible to shut a door, put up a gate, or tie him in the room with you.
Don't watch the clock to determine when your dog needs to go outside, it is his activity that causes him to need to go to the bathroom, not the time that has elapsed. Every time your dog changes activities, he should be taken outside. If he wakes up, take him out, stops playing, out he goes, stops eating, out again. Take him out before the accident occurs.
Do not think it is the dog's responsibility to let you know when he needs to go out, try to watch for his signals to you that he needs to go outside. The signals may be subtle like walking toward the door or sniffing and walking in circles.
If your dog goes to the bathroom in front of you, make an exclamation of disgust and take him outside. ("No" or "Bad Dog" is sufficient.) It is not necessary to drag him to the mess or to rub his nose in it.
If your dog does go to the bathroom in the house while you are not watching, there is absolutely nothing that you can do to correct the dog. Why? Dogs do not remember and feel responsible for actions in the past. If you drag a dog to an old mess and make a fuss, he does not say to himself, "I went to the bathroom there 20 minutes ago, that is why my owner is upset." Instead, he records the situation in his mind, and makes sure the situation does not occur again. In this case, the dog records, "If my owner is present, and I am present, and a mess is present, I will get scolded." The next time there is a mess on the floor and he hears you coming, he will run. Our tendency is to give the dog human reasoning and emotions. Owners call me and say, "But I know my dog knew he was bad, he ran from me and he looked guilty." He is not running from you because he understands that he is responsible for the mess, but because he realizes that if he stays in the situation that includes himself, you, and the mess, that he will be scolded.
If you question whether this is true, pour a glass of water on the floor and talk to the dog in the same tone of voice you use when you find a mess on the floor. He will undoubtedly slink away from you just as he does when the mess is his. This should prove to you that it is not his guilt that makes him leave, but your reaction to the situation.
Since a dog does not want to go to the bathroom where he lives, when you cannot be with him, he needs to be confined to an area that is small enough that he chooses not to go to the bathroom. You might try a laundry room or small bathroom, but we recommend a dog crate. A crate provides your dog with a small den of his own that he will be motivated to keep clean. Furthermore, if you leave him in a crate when you are away from him, you can be sure that nothing you care about will be chewed or destroyed while you are gone.
You may be thinking that if you keep your dog in a crate while you are at work, and again while you are sleeping, he will spend two-thirds of his life in a crate. That may be the case with a new dog who is not housebroken, but this situation won't last long. Soon you will trust him and be able to allow him more freedom when you are not around. Once he is able to keep his crate clean in your absence, try leaving him in a slightly larger space like a laundry room, porch, or kitchen. If he keeps that clean, again enlarge his space. Eventually, he will understand that your entire house is his den, and will work to keep your home clean. Being confined for a few months of training is a small price to pay for a lifetime of enjoying a trained dog!
A few final thoughts . . .
If your dog is going to the bathroom in one location in your home, this is a sign that he is attempting to keep your home clean, however he has established an indoor bathroom. Try feeding him in that location for a few days. This will cause him to reconsider his established bathroom. Most dogs will not go to the bathroom where they eat.
When you let your dog out of his crate, or confined space, immediately take him outside. If he does not go to the bathroom, bring him back inside and confine him again. Wait 20-30 minutes and take him out again. Do not bring a dog inside and allow him to be loose in your house unless he has just gone to the bathroom outside.
We often hear the complaint that an owner has put his dog out in the yard for 20-30 minutes, and as soon as they let the dog in, he goes to the bathroom. Odds are that the dog went to the bathroom as soon as you put him out, then sat outside the door waiting for you. Thirty minutes later, when you let him in, he also needed to go to the bathroom again. Do not let a dog loose in your house unless he has just gone to the bathroom outside.
Crate Training
Crates are the cribs and playpens of dog training. A crate helps to prevent your dog from chewing and soiling the house. Crates protect dogs from consuming things in the house that could be harmful to him. A crate also calms anxious dogs and teaches hyperactive dogs to sleep when left alone. In addition, the crate becomes a home away from home whenever you are traveling with your dog.
If the crate is used correctly, your dog will regard it as a "room of his own." It is a clean, comfortable, safe place to leave your dog when he cannot be supervised. Most dogs will try not to urinate or defecate in the crate, which is why it is so invaluable for housebreaking.
To introduce your dog to the crate, place the crate in a "people" area such as the kitchen or family room. Use an old towel or blanket for bedding. Put your dog's toys and a few treats in the open crate and allow your dog to come and go as he wishes. At mealtimes, feed your dog in the crate with the door closed. (Clean up any spills promptly—it's very important for the crate to stay clean!) Your dog doesn't need to stay in his crate long, but should get comfortable eating his meal there.
Put your dog in the crate when he is tired and ready for a nap. As soon as you hear him start to wake up, go to him and take him outside. Do NOT let him out if he is barking or whining because this will reward him for being noisy. Let your dog sleep in the crate at night. If he wakes you during the night, go to him and take him out. You want him to believe that you will meet his bathroom needs. However, you should return him to the crate to sleep the remainder of the night.
When training is complete, how long can your dog be left? For young puppies, use this rule of thumb. The time limit should be your puppy's age in months plus one. For example, a three-month-old pup should not be crated for more than four hours. A four-month-old pup's limit is five hours. The self control of puppies varies, but most can usually hold it overnight by the age of four months. The adult dog's self-control is usually great enough that it can be left for eight to nine hours in the crate. But keep in mind that long confinements are likely to present other mental and physical difficulties. Crate or no crate, any dog consistently denied the companionship it needs is going to be a lonely pet and may still find ways—destructive ways—to express anxiety, depression, and stress.
A dog crate offers many advantages for you and your dog—the most important being peace of mind when leaving your dog home alone. You'll know that nothing can be soiled or destroyed, and you'll know that your dog won't get into anything harmful while you're gone.

Flena, Welcome to RTF. I just brought home a new pup myself. I thought laundry room would be safe while at work. Then I found chewed electric cords and water hoses. Concrete blocks now block access behind washer and dryer. Have fun. JD

| Whether you have a head cold, an upset stomach, or an itchy rash, fast (cheap!) relief may be sitting on your kitchen shelf. True, some home remedies are simply old wives' tales, but others have stuck around for generations because they actually work, says Philip Hagen, MD, preventive medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic.Try grabbing one of these healing ingredients to ease that minor ailment.
(Credit: Getty Images)
| Use it for: Minor cuts and burns, cough or sore throat
How it works: Most of us have tried honey in tea to soothe a scratchy throat, but it's also been used to treat wounds for thousands of years. Last year, a review of research found that honey helps heal minor to moderate burns, and a recent Dutch study identified a protein called defensin-1 that gives the goo its antibacterial action.
Try this: Apply warm honey to a minor cut or mild burn, then put a gauze bandage on top; change the dressing daily. However, if you have a burn or wound accompanied by swelling, fever, or pain, check with a doctor instead; it may require oral antibiotics. Nick yourself a lot? Pick up raw manuka honey. Research shows this type has particularly potent antibacterial properties, says Robin Schaffran, MD, a dermatologist in Beverly Hills, California.

| Use it for:Sinus congestion, sore throat
How it works: "When you mix salt into water at a stronger concentration than the salt water in our bodies, it helps draw fluids out of tissues," explains Dr. Hagen. You can use this "hypertonic" solution to clear up stuffy sinuses and ease a sore throat.
Try this: For a sore throat, dissolve half a teaspoon of non-iodized salt in an 8-ounce glass of water, and simply gargle the water. To flush out your sinuses, fill a clean, dry squeeze bottle, bulb syringe, or neti pot with the solution, lean over a sink, and squeeze or pour it into your nostril. Use only sterile bottled or tap water that has been boiled and then cooled, in your nose. (Reportedly at least two people died last year after clearing their sinuses with neti pots using unfiltered tap water that contained a dangerous microbe.)
(Credit: Getty Images)
| Use it for: Indigestion, stomachache
How it works: The oil found in the peppermint leaf and its stems calms the muscles of the digestive tract, allowing gas to pass more easily and relieving indigestion, Dr. Hagen says. Steer clear of peppermint tea, though, if your pain is caused by reflux—you'll know from the acidic, burning feeling in your chest. (It can actually aggravate this problem by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter, which lets stomach acids flow back into the esophagus.)
Try this: Brew a cup of peppermint-leaf tea and drink up.
(Credit: Getty Images)
| Use it for: Bee stings, nonpoisonous spider bites
How it works: Meat tenderizer contains papain, an enzyme that breaks down proteins (like the ones in your T-bone steak). But papain can also break down toxins from bug bites and cut back on itching, Dr. Schaffran says. Note: Use tenderizer only on mosquito bites, bee stings, and nonpoisonous spider bites. If you experience symptoms such as nausea, difficulty breathing, or cramping in your abs or lower back, seek medical help immediately.
Try this: Mix a small amount of meat tenderizer with water to make a paste and apply to the bite. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

| Use it for: Eczema, sunburn, hives
How it works: Oats pack phytochemicals with anti-inflammatory properties that soothe itchy and inflamed skin, a study in the Archives of Dermatological Research shows. Most MDs recommend using the finely ground colloidal type sold in drugstores, but any unflavored oatmeal will help.
Try this: If you're using regular oatmeal, grind it into a fine powder, Dr. Schaffran says. Put a cup of oats through a food processor until they dissolve easily into a glass of water. Pour the solution into a bathtub full of warm water and soak for 15 minutes. Using colloidal oats? Just sprinkle them into the tub and say ahhh.

By the time you read this, it's possible that the frenzied seven days that are New York Fashion Week will be drawing to a close. The savviest of fashionistas will undoubtedly still be glued to Style.com for the news and their favorite insider blogs for the dirt: the models who walk first, the models who trip first, the editor who keeps a designer waiting the longest, and the Hollywood It Girl who causes the biggest stir outside the Bryant Park tents. But second-hand scandal can grow tiresome, and not everyone can afford that $500 skybox ticket to the Zac Posen show that one anonymous invitee was hawking on Craig's List at press time. The rest of us will have no choice but to seek renewed solace at the newsstands. Every year, the fall-preview fashion glossies look more and more like back-breaking contract-law texts than books about cool clothes, and this September is no different. The summer diet of skimpy resort wear and overpriced gladiator sandals have culminated in a complete fashion binge-fest, with the latest Vogue weighing in at an unmistakably chunky 4.88 lbs. The scales never lie.
While reading the fall rags, it helps to have some sort of navigational tool to aid in the analysis of the crocodile-leather trend, the thousands of advertisements that become indistinguishable from editorial spreads, and the various cover girls frantically promoting their latest film project/tour/television show. What do these elements say about a magazine's guiding philosophy, its long-term vision, the profound, intense reflections it seeks to impart upon its readers? In the New York City media-hub, an Editrix-in-Chief is required to put in just as much thought into her coiffeurs as a Hollywood celebrity. For one, Anna Wintour's sleek page-boy has become as synonymous with the Vogue brand as Kate Moss (13 appearances this month alone). So in the interest of all that is fashionably sacred, the Phoenix surveyed the hairstyles sported by the mag-hags who run the show at five magazines to guide us through their September books.
We hope we've determined what each editrix's personal fondness for beachy waves, natural highlights, teased fringes, and sophisticated blow-outs says about their editorial content. But after thumbing through 3044 pages of other-worldly, gazelle-like creatures in fantastically expensive ensembles, perhaps we're just blinded by our own insecurities. This, clearly, is the ideal state-of-mind in which to make superficial snap-judgments.

Vogue's Anna Wintour can switch from a prim smile to a sour frown in a nanosecond, and one gets the sense that she'd be perfectly happy to skin newborn kittens for a "chic, domesticated wrap" if Oliver Theyskens told her it was the hottest thing yet for spring. For now, forget the ever-present notion that Wintour is a psycho-bitch, and focus your attention on her personal style. In between micromanaging the Vogue mega brand and torturing her assistants into writing thinly veiled roman à clefs about her management technique, Wintour, similar to her magazine, is precisely, meticulously, painstakingly groomed at all times (there's a good chance she showers in diamonds and fur). Every blown-out piece of blond hair is perpetually in its place, and somehow, her blunt bangs are never, ever frizzed. There isn't much that's ground-breaking this month by way of new designers or faces. Neither, for that matter, is the placement of Wintour's part. Of course, that does nothing to change the fact that Vogue — like Wintour in her signature polished, chin-length bob — forever remain the Spartan classics of the industry.

Is there anyway to use the Arduino in a simple manner to demonstrate quantum physics in any manner?
how can I test entanglement?
Sure...1.Get the Arduino to release some chemicals that would kill a cat at a random period.2. stick the cat in the box.3. wait a few minutes.Now we have a situation where the cat is neither alive nor dead lol...wait, is that quantum physics?...

ALA Notable Children's Book
Newbery Honor Book
About the Book
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota. Here they settle in a little house made of sod beside the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds a wonderful new little house with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and her sister Mary go to school, help with the chores, and fish in the creek. At night everyone listens to the merry music of Pa's fiddle. Misfortunes come in the form of a grasshopper plague and a terrible blizzard, but the pioneer family works hard together to overcome these troubles.
And so continues Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier past and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

Department of English
Binghamton University is one of the four university centers in the State University of New York, one of the largest systems of public higher education in the United States. The university has a strong commitment to academic and research excellence, and the department has an excellent national reputation — its smaller size allows individual attention to students, and it is consistently ranked among the top public institutions in the country.
Undergraduate Study
The Department of English, General Literature and Rhetoric offers students the opportunity to study literature and language in their many manifestations. Although English and American literature and the practice of creative and expository writing are primary, the department conceives of neither literature nor writing in a narrow or parochial way. Literature courses deal broadly with genres and themes from the past and present, and teach students how to read and analyze texts; creative writing courses foster, in qualified students, the development of serious creativity; rhetoric courses deal with both the theory and practice of communication, as well as the history of oral and written argument.
Information about Undergraduate Program Requirements and The Honors Program can be found in the University Bulletin.

I made the mistake of trying to run a race with a bad hamstring. I had strained it on Tuesday night's run. I tried going for a run on Thursday, but only went a 1/4 mile before running back home. Friday night and Saturday morning it felt like it was better and that I should be able to finish, just slower than I had hoped.
Warming up for the race, I didn't feel like I would be able to go very fast at all, but once the race started, I felt better. It even felt like the leg was getting better as the race progressed. However, even though it didn't feel like I was going too fast, I was running around 6:20 per mile. However, I felt a twinge a bit after a mile, so tried to ease up a bit. Shortly after 1.5 miles, it gave out on me, so I had to walk and jog the rest of the way. So, my final time was 32:50. However, that was good enough for 4th in the 40-49 age division, so I got a ribbon. If I had been able to keep up the pace I had been running, I would have won my division. Last year's top four in the division all would have been faster than this year's division winner.
Afterwards, I stopped by my mom's on the way home. She was burning some windfall branches and stuff, so I helped pick up sticks in the field for about 90 minutes. It almost seemed to help the leg to do that, but it was pretty sore later. Seems a bit better now, but I shall take a week off at least from running.

Introduction to Programming with M-file Scripts
M-file scripts can be used to automate computations and implement complex capabilities.
- 6.
For Loops
For loops are a way to repeat a series of computations using different values. Example include counting balls in an enclosed container and analyzing rocket trajectories.
- 7.
If statements are a way to make a sequence of computations depend on variable values. Examples include engineering cost analysis.
- 8.
While Loops
While loops are another way to repeat a series of computations using different values. The number of times the loop is executed depends on variable values computed by the loop. Examples include personal finance.

Bomb squad blows up bong in North Spokane alley
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane Police Bomb Squad successfully detonated what turned out to be a bong found in an alley south of Wellesley Avenue and Mayfair Street near NorthTown Mall Tuesday.
The device, originally suspected to be a pipe bomb, was described as a section of black PVC pipe with white end caps on it.
A passerby saw it leaning against the wall of a business and called authorities.
Police cordoned off the immediate vicinity and the bomb squad went in and rendered the device harmless by blowing it up.
People who lived across the alley from where the device was located were told to stay inside during the investigation.
Tuesday afternoon, police confirmed the device they blew up was not a pipe bomb after all but rather a "piece of drug paraphernalia associated with marijuana."

Kotaku, video game journalist Geoff Keighley, and RebelForce Radio are reporting that LucasArts will no longer develop games, moving to licensing only, and starting layoffs, effectively shutting down altogether.
RebelForce Radio just posted the following from Lucasarts:
So, Disney has already cancelled the 3D releases, The Clone Wars, Detours, and now 1313, First Assault, and the planned-but-not-announced Battlefront III, all while laying off a ton of dedicated employees just so JJ Abrams can make Episode VII. (Not to mention Hasbro's own questionable, though unrelated, moves lately.) I'm waiting to hear that this has all been one elaborate April Fools joke. It's not like LucasArts hasn't been without its own issues the past several years, but a shutdown just sucks."After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games. As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

Heat problems
Hi, so where i live is in the middle of a heat spell and i noticed my tanks water reaching 85 degrees for more then 5 hours throughout the day. Im getting worried because its not even summer yet abd my tanks temp is getting pretty high. Would buying a power head help keep the tank cool? Im not sure where i can buy a chiller whre i live so im looking for some alternatives.29 Gallon
6 Neon Tetras
4 Dwarf Neon rainbows
4 Panda Corys
1 Bolivian Ram
6 Neon Tetras
2 Otos
1 Betta
Tons of shrimp.
What temp is your house at? A power head will actually raise the temp since the motor is in the water.
You could do a few things, during the day keep curtains closed, and leave the tank lights off (have on during the evening when its cooler)
Have AC in that room, or buy a chiller
85 isn't horrible, but its about the highest you could go, and I still think long term exposure to these temps could cause problems.
If the room is cooler than the tank, then take the lids off the tank and that could help keep it cool
If you've got an extra 500 to spend, plus the cost of the electric to run it, and don't mind the [assumed] noise of it, a chiller will work great. Like was said, a power head is going to raise the temp because of the motor. Good advice on how to keep the temp down. Leaving to lights off, top off, and putting a fan blowing across the top of the tank will be your best plan of attack. In my experience, the raise in temp over the summer is no big deal - happens to me every year. Honestly, I'm more concerned for you than your fish - if the ambient air temp is going to get much higher than 85....125 - BGK, pictus cats, silver dollars, kissing gouramis, palmas bichir, delhezi bichir
125 - Red severum, bolivian rams, Turquoise rainbows, irian red rainbows, loaches (angelicus, zebra, kuhli and horseface), plecos (BN, RL and clown), denison barbs, pearl gouramis
90 - Congo tetras, african knife, elephant nose, spotted ctenopoma, upside down cats

Live trap. Treat it the way you would want your dog treated if it ever got lost, it might be chipped! If not adopted or......
Ken, I do not know if the cat has been "wild" all this time? He looked a little rough. Funny, I have been living in the house now for about a year and a half and I have not seen the cat in the neighborhood or in the fields anywhere on my farm. When he first ran away, I used to see him when I was out hunting sometimes.
But it wouldn't be the first and I am sure probably not the last time my mom has sent me a sign!
I'm not the guy to ask what to do about a cat shizzing in my yard.I HATE cats. If a cat was shizzing in my yard,it wouldn't last long.There seems to be a double standard,you're expected to control your dog at all times but its ok for a damn cat to run free all over the country. I don't think so.
So the remaining question is----- If you are going to trap and neuter them- What is the conundrum for?
Not like they are going to need it regards

I find it generally to be true that those who profess to "hating" or disliking cats have never owned one. I never had a cat as a kid but have had one or more my entire adult life and find them to be interesting and enjoyable companions who are very little trouble to maintain as compared to dogs of which I have several.

I have two, three, sometimes four cats. The number fluctuates due to environmental conditions and related hazards. Orange ones seem to have a longer life span than other colors for some reason. Currenly two elusive orange ones and one black and orange. Haven't seen the two kittens in quite a while. Golden Eagles are back in town again so, I imagine another cat or two will disapear soon before the next litter shows up again.

Suppose, just suppose, there was a document-storage API that was friendly with a CVS-like versioning system. Imagine this API would do merges, diffs, and versioning, and that conflicts were reported such that they could be resolved in whatever WYSIWYG-type app you happened to be using.
I mention this because the current spate of word processing apps do not handle merging of different versions very well. In many apps, you can't merge at all. This kinda sucks. Document writers deserve the same kind of concurrent versioning as software engineers, yes? The it occurred to me: all documents deserve that kind of multi-author flexibility.
This means applications must be written to take advantage of a multiuser document store. But if there were a common document storage API, it would make life very, very easy, don't you think?
Anyway, just more rambling. I'm tired, and burned out. Can't you tell?

Pesticіdеs are uѕed around the world bυt can perѕist in the environmеnt, contaminatіng drinking and irrigation watеr with toxіc organic substаncеs. Photocatalysis represents one of the cheapest and many effective ways to remove toxic organic pollutants — all that is required are oxygen and sunshine. Рreѕently, real-life applications of this strategy are sсarce bеcause of to low photocatаlytic degradatiοn prices and the high costs connеctеd with conѕtruction οf the photoreactor.
A project wіll therefore dеvelop a new generation of low-cost nano-engineered photocatalysts for sunlight-driven water decontamination.

A few projects bouncing around the skull... don't know when/if I'll have the time to start on these. Particularly, I want to setup a VPN in the home lab to test the network perf when passing an encrypted webcam stream over NFS. :-P
Also trying to determine if anyone else has come up with a "packaged" product to do the following: one module to push formatted weblog data to an *sql backend... another module to pull this data and check for pre-determined errors (404's, 500's, etc.) and notify via custom methods (pager/email/etc). Yes, I know it can be setup with a minimum of effort using scripts and a db, but has anyone integrated this with an administrative front-end via cgi as an OSS or commercial product?
Finished all of the fence posts, with the exception of one requiring something akin to a jackhammer. :-(
Started reading chapter one of Conway's OOP. Fascinating stuff.
Worked on the fence, got about 7 posts in the ground. Went out to The Container Store with the wife, picked up a new Metro rack (this stuff rocks) for the office. Also ran by Borders in Germantown and [finally] found an in-store copy of Object Oriented Perl by Damian Conway. Got home, rearranged the office... pulled out the Ikea Jerker desk (beautiful, but takes up too much space). Installed the Metro racks, new home for many of my servers. Happy, happy!

Recently, I've been hearing about and receiving phone calls from people with Indian accents about something a little different from the classic your PC is virus-infected but you can pay me to get it fixed' support scam. Craig Johnston, a friend (and former colleague at ESET) who was one of my co-presenters at Virus Bulletin this year (yes, it was a paper about support scams) recently received a call from someone claiming to be from something called the Australian Refund Agency, and that Craig was entitled to a refund of fees and taxes to the value of 5,349.27Australian dollars. All he had to do was write down a reference number and contact the scammer's supervisor on a local phone number, and the supervisor would organize the refund. Being a security guy from way back, Craig wasn't about to fall for that one, even if he hadn't met with the exact scam before. A quick Google search found him an Australian web site that described very similar scams. He still hasn't called that supervisor, even though he keeps getting calls urging him to do so.
The calls I've been getting have been slightly different (apart from the fact that I live in the UK, not Australia, of course). Most of them have started off by asking me to participate in a spurious survey, but I've also been getting calls that offer me refunds on a mortgage I don't have, or a way to save money by registering for a consumer group. In a little more detail:
Since I don't really want to spend the whole of my working day in fruitless discussions with scammers, I've taken to simply pointing out that my phone number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service (the UK's Do Not Call list) to get them off the line. (Though I have in the past had heated if short discussions with scammers who denied the existence of such a list or argued that it didn't apply to them, whereupon I've made short sharp references to UK law and European Community directives before putting the phone down.) However, there have been scams that actually try to exploit Do Not Call lists. (Some of these actually predate the current spate of Indian call-centre scams by several years.)
The most common variation is to offer to register your phone number: for a fee, of course. In fact, such lists are usually free, so if you give your credit card details in response to such a phone call, you not only waste your money and expose your credit card to further misuse, the chances are that you still won't be signed up to anything. In fact, our readers in the US should note that the Federal Trade Commission doesn't allow third parties to register telephone numbers for the National Do Not Call Registry. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that this applies to all such lists, or that registration is free on all such lists and always will be. However, US readers might want to check the National Do Not Call Registry's page rather than pay attention to random phone calls. That page also makes an indirect reference to a scam variation suggesting that you have to re-register your number (for a fee), and assures subscribers that their registration does not expire.
Meanwhile, let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas. Oh. Too late. I've just received (un)seasonal spam from a company offering very good' prices on laptops, TVs, and iGadgets. I don't think I'll be checking out that particular offer.

Don't want to lose this in a unrelated thread so will start our own .
This is a thread about investing philosophy. 1st a little background - as I reached the end of my engineering career I looked at things I might like to do to keep the mind active. Politics was out after my unsuccessful run at the State Legislature & a good view of the inner workings of that process. But liking numbers & having a reasonable level of success, a good econ prof in college, led me to financial planning. So I took several courses, did quite well, but was unwilling to accept the fact that I would have to work for someone else for two years, pimping their product, to be in line to get a CFP. So I opted out, do mostly my own research & use that of the Mutual Funds we own for additional ideas.
Of note, the FP classes I took were mostly myself & a bunch of retired Public employees wanting to supplement their income. When test time came I rarely missed a question while these people were scoring in the 70-85 range. What do they call someone who graduated last in their class at medical school "Doctor" & it would be no different in the CFP world. So that's what you could possibly get. I know that I offered to teach a couple of my dog friends how to invest, they felt it too hard so placed their money with a CFP who proceeded to lose 80% of the principal, so they don't play dogs no more .
Investing is not that hard & it's personally rewarding as is training your own dog. Reading, Numbers & a little common sense go a long way. The really neat thing is you never stop learning as the circumstances of the world change regularly & you need to be aware to take advantage of that!
There are tried & true axioms that never change:
1) Where are the customers yachts, hopefully the MOTR'er will get to ride on his broker's someday .
2) Buy when the herd wants to sell, sell when the herd wants to buy.
3) "It's different this time", when that talk reaches a certain level it will be proven wrong .
4) When the news stand boy is giving stock tips, you probably want to lighten up you portfolio.
those are just a few that ring true!!!!!!!!!!
So if folks want to talk about investing we can do that in a generic manner. You young guys better know how cause the government only knows how to run Ponzi schemes & they are not to dependable. We did it for a while on Guthrie's website & hopefully people picked up something.

My 14 month YLF sheds a good amount, but recently noticed considerable dry skin flakes (dandruff) when brushing her. Currently feeding Nutro natural choice large breed puppy. Considered a change to the Sensitive Skin & Stomach, but the only difference is the protein & carbs...same amount of linoleic acid. The 106 temp today doesnt help or the humidity routinely below 10%.
Anyone have similar issues with their dog? Using a shampoo that helps or have other suggestions?

Great review Poe!
Just a couple of things.
1. I mentioned it over at your site, Prototype vs. a Custom. The "mystery" He-Man figure at SDCC '07 was a prototype, not a custom.
2. Preternia is often what is referred to with He-Ro and Eldor and the dinosaur line that was going to happen after the original He-Man line but got pulled. Only a few things such as Bionotops and the Meteorbs got released under the "Powers of Grayskull" line before it went "bye bye".
The time period you refer to as Preternia with the minicomics and box art is often called "Pre-Filmation".
Sorry... I'm just a big fat geek flexing big fat geek muscles.
Otherwise, I love your review and look forward to your Beastman review!
You and I see figures in a very similar light, thus I'm more akin to trust your judgments on things.

I came across the "Preternia" reference somewhere recently in reference to the early mini-comics...but your point is taken. I'll clean that up.
As for the "custom" thing, you'll notice I put it in quotation marks--that's because, at the time, people didn't know what it was and thought it might be some fan's custom (I think Mattel might even have, tongue-in-cheek, gone along with that perception--or at least didn't correct people and say, "No, it's a prototype"). I realize that it was, in actuality, a prototype

When's the Beastman review coming?
@ Neo, okay that I'm not sure on, now we see my geek smack is more of a bark than a bite.
I just know they came out around the same time as the "Powers of Grayskull" line was coming out. That was a dark time for me... A time when I was more interested in other things other than toys and He-Man... It was my apostasy.

Great reviews and pics, and a perspective on the packaging that hadn't occurred to me. Looking at it now, I can see it does have the same feel as a lot of the early paintings on the vehicles and such. It's not as out of left field as a lot of folks originally thought.

No new reviews yet (obviously), but I do have a new poll up about what people would like to see as an SDCC exclusive:
I'd rather have the figures in your poll be regular releases than con exclusives.
I want (and expect) the SDCC exclusive to be the Green Goddess. It'd be a simple Teela repaint.

One variant I should have included was "Savage He-Man," although I'm unsure what accessories he should come with.
Updated with more reviews! Stratos coming soon.
Another fine review, Poe.
I'm looking forward to Stratos (though I'll actually have him in hand when I read it).
Excellent reviews. Well done!

Another great review, Poe! I also cannot wait for Stratos', although I will hopefully have mine as well at the time. Great stuff!

EDIT: Wait, the stand I mostly used in that particular review was the so-called "Doop stand" from various Marvel Legends figures. I had to use the clip from the Whippy Superpose stand to hold him in place, though. I use the Whippy stand in a lot of my other shots.

Question, Poe: When you cut the wings loose on Stratos, you said they could be used "like a normal point of articulation." I'm wary of modifying expensive product, so I wana make sure of what you mean here. The wings don't spin around freely, right? They are tight and stay in the position that you place them in?

I just made a GREAT "Did Not Read" GIF.
I just made a GREAT "Did Not Read" GIF.
Didnt Birdman get arrested with a ton of kiddie porn on his computer a few years ago?
Pretty much. People were stunned when that story came out because whenever the media uses the words "child pornography allegations" it makes you assume he had pics or videos of a bunch of 8 year olds. But he cooperated with police and he was pretty innocent. He was a fan favorite out here and a few of my friends have met him and said he's awesome. There's a video on YouTube somewhere of him at a machine fun shoot at my favorite shooting range out here. I still have my Birdman shirt my sister got me for Christmas one year. But he fell out of Karl's rotation and was just languishing on the end of the bench and made a good bit of money doing it so he got amnestied. He's never the best player on the floor, but he usually plays the hardest.
Support NAFTA!
Basically all I ask for in a player. It's why I hate Carmelo Anthony with a passion. He's a lazy selfish player.
You can be an average player who plays above average just by trying harder than most. It's why I love Reshad Jones. Reshad is a decent player. But that kid brings 110% effort every Sunday.

Leave a Review
I used 3 packets of gelatin. Made in a 9x9 metal pan lined with foil. I agree with others that say this recipe results in a fluffier marshmallow. I've used another marshmallow recipe on this site (Bon Appétit 2008) and I like this one better.
This is a fantastic, easy and fun recipe. My first attempt at making marshmallows and will definitely do again. Best advice: do not touch the marshmallow cream, use a spatula to get as much as possible from mixing bowl to pan, use a pizza cutter and rinse under hot water every 2-3 cuts, and use a stand-up mixer if possible. These are delicious and would be a fun project for kids. They melt beautifully into a thick, rich cream in hot chocolate and also toast beautifully for s'mores. I'm looking forward to making future next batches with mint or almond.
These are great! I know some people are worried about the egg whites but they are so much fluffier than the recipes without. I usually make these at Christmas so I add 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract and a few drops of red food coloring for awesome peppermint marshmallows. They are a huge hit for gifts every year.
I've been making these marshmallows for years and suddenly have encountered problems. All of sudden, they are so sticky I can barely get them out of the bowl. Am I heating the sugar mixture too high? Am I whipping the mixture too long? Also, I add flavored extracts (peppermint and orange mostly)...is there too much alcohol is the extracts? It's maddening...all of a sudden I have taffy instead of marshmallows. Help, please!
BTW, the substitute for corn syrup in this recipe is one cup sugar and 1/4 cup water.
These marshmallows got rave reviews! My husband omitted the corn syrup (I have a corn allergy) and used organic sugar and confectioners sugar that was cornstarch free! Delicious! We used them for s'mores at a beach bonfire for my birthday. So good. They melt quicker but brown so well over the fire. K
Great idea for Valentine's, since you can dye or cut them in shapes. This was an easy recipe and the result is so much better than the store-bought variety.
This recipe is great! I made it the way I learned in the restaurant. I whipped the egg whites and then cooked the sugar recipe, when the sugar was hot I added the gelatin then streamed it into the egg whites while beating with a hand mixer. I beat the entire mixture for 15 minutes. It took a while to firm up but it did and it was great. I dyed them pink then piped them into little circles and they're really cute.
Snappiegirl- from a reliable source: Five gelatin sheets are equal to 1 pouch of gelatin, enough to gel 2 cups of liquid. Hope this helps. I am trying this tomorrow.
would like to make this but only have gelatine sheets not powdered..anyone know how to convert this to use gelatine sheets?

Liepaja, Latvia
The symbol of Liepāja is the lime tree. In the city's coat of arms, the lime tree is shown in green, including the bark. The lion symbolizes the duchy of Courland — a historic region of Latvia strategically situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Affiliated 1992After Bellevue maintained sister city relationships with two cities in Asia (Yao, Japan, and Hualien, Taiwan) for several years, the Bellevue Sister Cities Association asked the City Council establish a sister city in Europe. The Council directed the BSCA to search for a sister city in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe, where governments emerging from Soviet domination exhibited the greatest need for assistance.
Members of the Latvian community lobbied the Council and the BSCA to establish a sister city relationship with Liepāja. The Bellevue-Liepāja sister city relationship was formalized in December 1992. The Liepāja affiliation was about two years in the planning, and included an exploratory trip to Latvia.
DemographicsLiepāja is the third largest city in Latvia with a population of about 95,000. The city is located in the southwestern part of Latvia on a stretch of land between the Baltic Sea, Liepāja Lake and Tosmars Lake. Riga, Latvia's capital, is about 180 miles to the east.
Liepāja has an ice-free port with the potential to become a convenient transit point from for freighters traveling west and east. The city is known for its beautiful beaches on the Baltic Sea.
CultureLatvian culture and artistic traditions are centuries old. Music has always had an important role in the cultural life of the Latvian nation, and song and dance festivals date back to 1873. The Latvian national opera and ballet were world-famous during Latvian independence. Contemporary music had often been used as a subtle expression of opposition to the Soviet cultural regime.
Professional theater emerged in Latvia in the mid-19th century. Liepāja now has a symphony orchestra, a museum of history and art, a marine museum, the Liepāja Drama Theatre and a puppet theater.
History and IndustryLiepāja's history dates back to the 13th century. During the invasion of German crusaders in the Baltics, the area became attractive because of its advantageous location on the Baltic Sea. In 1625, Liepāja was granted the rights of a town and received a number of trade and craft privileges. Liepāja experienced the greatest impetus for its further development at the end of the 19th century. In 1868 the modernization of the port of Liepāja began and in 1876 a railway was opened. A period of rapid industrial and trade development followed.
World War I, the invasion of the German army, and the new situation in Europe put a halt to the city's development. Latvia proclaimed itself as an independent republic in 1918. In 1939, the Soviet Union forced Latvia to allow Soviet troups onto Latvian territory and in 1940 it occupied the country outright. In 1941, the Germans invaded Latvia and occupied it until the end of World War II. In 1945, the Red Army pushed back the German troups and then occupied Latvia for a second time. Latvia became a republic in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Liepāja became home to the Russian Navy and all economic activity — directly or indirectly — was linked to the needs and goals of the military base. The Soviet occupation was maintained until August 1991, when the USSR collapsed. On August 21, 1991, the Supreme Council adopted a resolution fully restoring Latvian state authority.
After Latvia regained independence, the city once again had the opportunity to develop as a commercial port coastal city. Liepāja's Special Economic Zone was created in 1997. The law created a special economic territory in the former military naval base, the port of Liepāja, the airport and the industrial areas. The goal of the SEZ is to improve the conditions for business activity in Liepāja, to attract foreign investment, to create new jobs and to promote trade, shipping and air traffic by very favorable tax conditions.
Government StructureThe city of Liepāja is governed by a 15-member city council that is elected every four years. The chairman and the vice-chairman serve full-time. The remaining members of the Council serve part-time.

In recent weeks, the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013, otherwise known as the farm bill, passed through the House and Senate Agriculture committees with relative ease.
Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Republican Sen. Thad Cochran have been lauded for their bipartisan cooperation and leadership of the bill, and rightly so.
For a brief moment, it seemed like Congress might pass a major piece of legislation this session and ensure much-needed support for farmers across the U.S.
But once again a storm is swelling, and the threat of a stalemate in conference – should the bill pass both chambers – is very real. The lightning rod in the farm bill is the federal food stamp program.
The number of food stamp recipients has increased sharply during the past five years – not by coincidence at about the same rate as unemployment.
Stabenow said some working American families turned to food stamps when the economy "fell apart" beginning in 2007. She said that whether it is crop insurance or aid to families, the bill is about helping in times of crisis and disaster.
Democrats do acknowledge at least some of food stamp increase is due to abuse and fraud due to changes made to the screening process for applicants. Legislators agree the issue has to be addressed, thus the bill calls for closing loopholes and tightening the screening process to no longer allow the recipient of one federal program to automatically qualify for another.
Both versions of the bill call for cuts to the program, though the level of cuts varies drastically. The Senate bill would shave $4 billion from the program, while the House version cuts more than $20 billion.
The looming problem lies in the power of special interest groups that would rather see the entire bill fail than have it pass with any inclusion of the food stamps program.
Heritage Action for America, the political action arm of conservative think thank Heritage Foundation, has come out in strong opposition to the bill.
The group contends that even the House version of the bill does not go far enough. So it is targeting negative ads at members of the GOP to try to block the legislation, putting Republicans willing to work across party lines in danger during the next election cycle.
Leaders on both sides agree a farm bill cannot go to the president without including food stamps.
Let's hope Congress won't let another critical piece of legislation die because we have become too stubborn to work for the greater good. Our nation could not have gotten where it is today had cooler heads not prevailed. Party lines blurred, and common sense applied.
As we continue to watch the effects of sequestration on American taxpayers and federally funded programs, we can only hope the farm bill will fare better.

AT&T exec speaks at UTSA nonprofit program event
(April 9, 2008)--Patricia Diaz Dennis, AT&T senior vice president and assistant general counsel and chair of Girl Scouts USA, will deliver the keynote address at the annual recognition reception of the UTSA American Humanics nonprofit management certification program at 6 p.m., Thursday, April 10 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124) at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Dennis served as FCC commissioner under President Ronald Reagan and special counsel for an international law firm based in Washington, D.C. She joined SBC Communications (now AT&T) in 1995 and was named chair of Girl Scouts USA in 2006.
Co-sponsored by the accounting firm Carneiro, Chumney & Co. LC, which provides accounting services to nonprofits, the event is based on the theme, "Giving Back Change to the World," and will celebrate the accomplishments of its graduates and students who serve the community through volunteering and internships with nonprofits. Program participants have worked with San Antonio nonprofits as well as national and international organizations.
"The recognition reception is a great way to say thank you to the nonprofits in the community that offer volunteer and internship opportunities so that students can gain real-world experience in nonprofit management," said Alison Johnson, president of the American Humanics Student Association. "It also lets the community know that American Humanics graduates have both the academic background and job experience to take on the responsibilities at a nonprofit."
This year, the American Humanics program will graduate four seniors, and nearly 30 undergraduates will continue in the program next year.
Entertainment at the reception will be provided by the San Antonio National Poetry Slam Team, hosts of the weekly ¡Puro Slam! events at Sam's Burger Joint and winners of the 2000 National Poetry Slam competition.
American Humanics (AH) is a national nonprofit management certification program offered by 70 colleges and universities across the nation. UTSA is one of only three universities in Texas offering AH certification for undergraduates, and the only one in the state to offer the AH certificate to graduate students.

After hours and hours of testing, we were finally ready to have our miniature car compete with those of 10 other California universities, including Stanford, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and San Jose State, at the Chem-E (Chemical Engineering) Car competition hosted over the weekend at UC San Diego.
The requirements were that this car should be relatively light, be powered by a chemical reaction of our choice, be able to have a time-dependent braking mechanism, and be able to carry a certain amount of weight (water) across a certain distance in under 2 minutes.
Our "Bruin Car" ran off of an electric motor powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which was supplied hydrogen using a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. The braking mechanism was an iodine clock reaction that would interfere with the transmittance of light onto the photoresistor in our circuit; thus, when the solution turned completely dark, the photoresistor's resistance would increase, causing the current to drop and cut off the source of electricity to our electric motor.
