A store that used to be good and pretty funny for normal people but recently has lost all humor and become a place for mallrats and perverts hang out; where you can get your erotic board game, hookah, weed t-shirts, and anything normal thing turned into something to do with a dick, vagina, boobs, or balls all at once.
A couple teenage workers got arrested at Spencer's Gifts for telling a cop how to use a hookah to smoke weed.

The 50 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs
48. "Custard Pie" (Physical Graffiti)
This opening track from Physical Graffiti features a punchy, Les Paul–through-Marshall–driven "crunch riff" behind Plant's sexually euphemistic lyrics, many of which were borrowed from songs by early American bluesmen of the Robert Johnson era, specifically "Drop Down Mama" by Sleepy John Estes, "Shake 'Em on Down" by Bukka White, and "I Want Some of Your Pie" by Blind Boy Fuller.
Like "Houses of the Holy," "Custard Pie" is built around a repeating two-bar riff based on an open A chord.
As in other songs, Page makes great use of rests in the song's main riff, which allows it to "breathe" nicely and draws attention to the vocals and drums. Jimmy's penchant for jazz/R&B harmony is manifested in the G11 chord he plays—in place of the perfectly acceptable straight G chord—near the end of each of the song's verses, which are loosely based on the 12-bar blues form.
The guitarist makes clever use of the wah pedal in his solo, which he begins with a repeating oblique-bend phrase that, with added wah-wah inflections, sounds like a toddler throwing a tantrum. The solo is also noteworthy for the way Page melodically acknowledges the chord changes by touching upon their chord tones as opposed to simply riffing away on the key's major and minor pentatonic scales.

Anyone know what it is? I've never been inside a Wal-Mart, and I can't find out on their website for some reason.
I'm looking to see what the prices are on the vintage and possibly clone wars figures there. I live in OC/Irvine (Cali), not sure if the prices vary across the nation.

Recent High School Graduates Urged to Apply for New State Scholarship
Contact: Sandy Connolly, Director of Communications
Office of Higher Education
(651) 259-3902
Students attending college in Minnesota this fall may be eligible to receive $1,200 Achieve Scholarship if they took rigorous high school courses.
With the remnants of the graduation sheet cake now tucked into the freezer, high school graduates are urged to apply now for a new state scholarship of up to $1,200 if they can demonstrate they took college preparation courses in high school. The Achieve Scholarship was established and funded in 2007 by the Minnesota Legislature and Governor Tim Pawlenty and is designed to encourage students to make the most of their high school opportunities by challenging themselves with rigorous high school courses. Scholarships are awarded to students on top of any federal or state grants, or college scholarships and a separate application is required.
The online application and eligibility details are available at www.ohe.state.mn.us/achieve.
To be eligible, students must:
- Have graduated from a Minnesota public or private high school after January 1, 2008
- Attend a public or private college in Minnesota
- Be a Minnesota resident and a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
- Be from a family with an adjusted gross income of less than $75,000
- Meet the academic requirements of the scholarship in any of four ways defined.
Students must apply for the Achieve Scholarship within 30 days of the start of the term. Applications may be submitted online or by mail and must be accompanied by an official high school transcript.
Contact the Minnesota Office of Higher Education with questions at 651-642-0567. Detailed information on state and federal financial aid programs is available from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education at www.ohe.state.mn.us.
Rigorous Programs of Study
To be eligible the student must have completed, unless otherwise stated, with a grade 'C' Or above in each course, one of the following four rigorous programs of study while in high school or a home-school setting:
- A set of courses similar to the State Scholars Initiative. This program of study requires passing grades in the following:
- Four years of English;
- Three years of math (including Algebra I and a higher level course such as Algebra II, geometry, or data analysis and statistics);
- Three years of science, including one year each of at least two of the following courses: biology, chemistry, and physics;
- Three years of social studies; and
- One year of a language other than English.
- Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and test scores. This program requires a minimum of two Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses in high school and a minimum passing score on the exams for those classes. Students must score 3 or higher on AP exams and 4 or higher on IB exams.
- Minnesota Coursework Requirements. This program requires:
- Four years of language arts;
- Three years of math, including one year each of geometry and two years of algebra, one of which is intermediate or advanced algebra;
- Three years of science including one year each of a biological and physical science;
- Three years of social studies; and
- Two years of a single foreign language.
- Minnesota Dual Credit Program. With a passing grade of 'B' Or better: High School students taking BOTH a math course (Algebra 2 level or higher) AND a science course (biology, chemistry, or physics) under the Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program worth a total of at least 6 college credits shall meet the rigorous course of study requirement for the Academic Competitiveness Grant.

More properly, I should say that this particular treasure belonged to Evelyn's mother, Elizabeth Schulte (not to be confused with the other Lizzie Schulte, the cousin who married Fred Hebert).
The book measures 3.25" x 5.5" and has padded red velvet covers which are now separated from the pages. The pages are in two sections, one with five sheets and the other with four, each folded with a large staple to bind them, and there's a single page that's not attached to either section, meaning there's at least one page missing. It wouldn't surprise me if there was another whole section of pages missing--the cover binding is wide enough to have accommodated another one.
With the book was a little leather snap-case holding a pencil sharpener. The ball-point pen wasn't invented until the 20th century, you know, and a pencil sharpener would have been an essential tool before that. This one is brass, quite heavy for its small size. A U.S. quarter, laid on top of it, hangs over the sides just a wee bit. The manufacturer's information is engraved on the back: "A.W. FABER, TUTIOR JUWEL, 4020, Patent, Bavaria." It still works. (Was there any doubt?)
Write all you please,
But for pittysake donot
tare the leaves.
My best guess is that Lizzie herself wrote the page above. It's the first page inside the cover.
The book was given to Lizzie by her friend Mary Carl as a Christmas gift in 1887. Lizzie was 15 years old at the time. Mary also signed another page further back in the book.
Not every page has been used. Mary's pages are the only ones dated 1887. Other dated pages were signed in 1888 and 1890.
Dear Lissie,
I rite here not for bueaty, I rite
here not for farm, I rite to
be remberd and its here I
rite my name.
S Lulu Maddin
At least I think that says Lulu! You can thank me for adding punctuation to the transcription. And I'm guessing she never won a spelling bee, huh? Undaunted, however, she wrote two more pages, signing them with her initials only, S. L. M.
Lizzie Schulte is my Name
Single is My Station happy
is the Man that Makes
the Altration.
The feather floats
But the pearl lies low

Ha Ha Ha you make
Me laugh to write
My Name in your Augtograph
Your Friend
Miss Jose Hauer
Detroit, March 12th, 1890
Reader, this is where the book made me sit up and take notice. Miss Jose Hauer is actually Josephina Hauer, a younger sister of Felix Hauer, who would become Lizzie's husband in 1893. And she was not the only Hauer sister to sign the book.
When the evening hours is hushed
When the sky is no longer flushed
When alone you bend your knee
Will you sometimes pray for me.
Your friend,
Mamie Hauer
March 9th, 1890
Mamie was Mary Hauer, born 17 April 1871 in Detroit, also a younger sister of Felix. She wrote on the facing page as well:
Friendship has between us [sprung?]
I hope it has been true.
And may this Friendship ever,
Last between my self and you.
Your Friend,

Detroit, June 29th, 1888
I thought of a mond in the sweet.
Alborn. Where a little head-stone
stood. How the flakes were folding
it gently as did robbins the
[babes?] in the woods.
EVELYN Hauer
Reader, my eyes popped out when I saw that one! Evelyn Hauer? That would someday be the name of the daughter Lizzie and Felix would have... but not until 1894. Although this page is not dated, I am discounting the possibility that Lizzie's daughter Evelyn wrote in the book at some point many years after 1890. First of all, it just seems unlikely. And second, would she address her mother as Dear Lizzie? So let's consider who else this might be.
Felix had two other sisters. Sophia, born about 1865, was the oldest of the Hauer children, nine years older than Lizzie. Katharine, born in September 1875, was the youngest, three years younger than Lizzie. I don't know middle names for either of them, but it seems more likely to me that, if this was written by one of them, it was probably Katharine.
In any case, suddenly it appears that my grandma may have been named after someone. I guess it's about time for me to go hunting for Detroit's Catholic churchbooks!
Forget me not forget me never
Till yonder sun shall set forever
And in the future as you stray
Think of Ida when far away

Some love one,

I love one,
And that is you

forget me not.
May this day be only known
As one of sunniest cheer.
May Gladness claim it as its own
And bless it every year.
Your friend -
Lizzie Finucan
Detroit, July 10th, 1888
May your joys be as deep
As the ocean, and your sorrows,
As light as the foam.
Your Friend,

Okay, I'm better now. After a good weekend of working on my motorcycle, and a little bit of riding (not much, as I spent the sunshine replacing the starter relay-- it started raining once the bike was fixed, of course), I feel refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Or, at least, the maze of gnome dependencies.
It's really not that bad, after all. popt had problems on Solaris, but I found a precompiled version on sunfreeware.com, sidestepping that issue. I found the ORBit-martin-forked repository, just like it tells me in the oaf README file. So the operator headspace was mine, in this instance. I reckon that means I should take it easier when a user has some headspace issues.
I just don't want to contribute to Gnome's undeserved bad rep.

RIC Upward Bound Program Graduates 51
Upward Bound program director Mariam Boyajian smiles at new graduate Kevin Argueta
New alumni of Rhode Island College's Upward Bound program were encouraged at their graduation Thursday night (June 6) to be advocates for change and role models for their successors.
"With the skills you have now, you have the ability to change someone's life," said Steven Corrales, keynote speaker and a 2007 program graduate. "It's up to us, who have been fortunate in making a few right decisions, to care for those who might make decisions they'll regret."
Corrales, who earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master's degree from Brown University, said his Upward Bound experience has made him stronger.
"I truly do not see how I could have managed (life's) challenges without Upward Bound," Corrales said, adding that there were many times he questioned why he chose to give up Saturdays and summer days to participate. "I stopped questioning my decision after my first day in college and haven't questioned it since."
Corrales now works as an operations associate at Blackstone Valley Prep and is a member of the Central Falls City Council and the Progresso Latino Board of Directors.
Corrales's academic and professional success is a prime example of what Upward Bound aims to do: increase high school and college graduation rates among low-income students in targeted geographic areas.
It's also the kind of success the 51 members of the Class of 2013 could achieve, Corrales said, if they continue to make the kind of smart decisions they made when they joined the program.
Gary M. Penfield, vice president of student affairs at RIC, also addressed the students, saluting their hard work and dedication. "We applaud each of you for taking the path that originally may not have been popular," Penfield said. "Our hope is that we have helped you become stronger in character and in academic reach."
Graduate Kevin Argueta, valedictorian at Pawtucket's Shea High School, was awarded $3,500 in scholarships, including Upward Bound's top scholarship, which he will use next fall when he enters Brown University to study engineering.
Argueta said he credits Upward Bound with helping him achieve his Ivy League dream.
"I went (to Upward Bound) for college preparedness," Argueta said. "The more you can be prepared, the better. I wasn't going to turn that down."
During the ceremony 20 students were recognized for having perfect attendance and 21 students were recognized with academic honors for having a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher.
Upward Bound also awarded Eva H. Neira, former executive assistant of student affairs at RIC, with its Outstanding Service award.
Ninety-eight percent of the 2013 class has been accepted into a higher educational program, according to program director Mariam Boyajian.

HTML5 and CSS3 have just arrived (kinda), and with them a whole new battle for the 'best markup' trophy has begun. Truth to be told, all these technologies are mere tools waiting for a skilled developer to work on the right project. As developers we shouldn't get into pointless discussions of which markup is the best. They all lead to nowhere. Rather, we must get a brand new ideology and modify our coding habits to keep the web accessible.
While it is true HTML5 and CSS3 are both a work in progress and is going to stay that way for some time, there's no reason not to start using it right now. After all, time's proven that implementation of unfinished specifications does work and can be easily mistaken by a complete W3C recommendation. That's were Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation come into play.
So today we're going to experiment a little with these new technologies. At the end of this article you'll learn how to:
- Use Graceful Degradation techniques and technologies to keep things in place for legacy browsers.
- Use Progressive Enhancement techniques and technologies to be up to date with the latest trends.
- Use HTML5 alongside a rising technology: Microformats.
- Have a clear vision of some of the most exciting new features HTML5 and CSS3 will bring.
It'd be a good idea to have a read at some of these articles first:
- HTML5 and The Future of the Web which teaches the very basics of HTML5, introduces new elements and explains some of the advantages of the new markup language.
- HTML5 enabling script which shows a method that enables HTML5 tags on IE6 to be styled.
- Understanding aside where the usually misunderstood new tag is explained.
I'll also assume you know the basics of HTML and CSS. Including all the "old school" tags and the basic selectors and properties.
There's a couple of things you have to bear in mind before adventuring on the new markup boat. HTML5 is not for everyone. Therefore, you must be wise and select how and where to use it. Think of all the markup flavours you've got available as tools: use the right one for the right job. Therefore, if your website is coded in standards compliant XHTML strict there's no real need to change to HTML5.
There's also the fact that by using HTML5 code right now your website gets stuck in some kind of "limbo" since even though your browser will render HTML5, it does not understand it as of yet. This may also apply to other software such as screenreaders and search engines.
Lastly you must consider that HTML5 is still under heavy development, and it's probably the "most open" project the W3C has ever done. With the immense amount of feedback and all the hype around it, the current draft is bound to change and it's impossible to predict how much.
So if you're ready to do the switch, are not afraid of using technology that in the near future will be way more meaningful and can easily change whatever piece of code that might get broken, then keep reading.
A word on Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation
So what are these two terms all about? Graceful Degradation is a widely used term which ideology is basically using the latest technologies first, and then fix anything that needs fixing for older browsers. We do this on a daily basis: most of us code for Firefox first, then fix Internet Explorer. That is Graceful Degradation in the practice.
Progressive Enhancement refers to the habit of building first for the less capable, outdated browser and then enhance for the latest technologies. We, too, use this on a daily basis. For example, most of the times we code a website we start with the markup and then apply an external CSS file where we add all the styling. That is Progressive Enhancement in the practice.

We have been very well received by Annette and Lars.The room is very nice, spacious, clean and bright with a confortable bed. The flat is well too, on the top of the floor, situated in a lively area where there are lots of nice bars and restaurants. Close to public transports leads us into the very center rapidly but Berlin is better by feet !!!
But the best was the valuable and expert advice from our host. We saw some very interesting aspects of Berlin.
Annette and Lars are open and interesting. we spent a great stay together around good food and aperitif.
We share the same taste for gastronomy, wine and beer.
Really recommend Annette.
Thanks you very munch Annette and Lars for this moments...
Thanks to Annette, Teresa and I spent a very great time in Berlin!
The room is really nice, clean and very well organised, the location is quite fine, close to the main public transports as well as supermarkets, restaurants, pubs to have dinner or simply a beer during the night. However the magic key of our staying was Annette, very kind, available to provide any information and so easy-going!! We felt home! I really recommend Annette accomodation and if I go again to Berlin, for sure I'll be back to her flat. Thanks Annette also for the very nice dinner spent together with your friends!
From first email to final farewell Annette could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Her neat, spotless apartment - with a really comfy guest bed - is in a fab location. Hopefully I will return to take up Annette's offer of a bike to explore the area and try out some the local small restaurants and bars of which there are many.
A perfect stay. I'll really miss Annette and her beautiful house. I lived as a Berliner for 6 beautiful days in the middle of my favourite Berlin area. Huge room well lighted, lines around the corner, great shops in the same street, peace, elegance, pleasant company and a beautiful flatmate willing for a good chat in every moment. See you surely the next time that I'll come to Berlin! :)
I stayed at Annette's flat recently and for what I wanted it was perfect. It's a great location just off the Simon-Dach-Strasse kiez in Friedrichshain. The flat is on the top floor, which means it's a bit of a climb, but it also means that when you're up there you're also quite a long way from the hustle and bustle of Berlin.
The room is large, and very bright with a huge window. There is a large double bed, a spare mattress and also a large table & chairs. A nice touch was the bottles of mineral water next to the bed each day.
The bathroom is shared with the housemates and there are plenty of clean towels. The kitchen is also shared, and we were told to help ourselves to coffee, tea and even food. In the end though, we just had a coffee and even that was after Annette made it for us!
One thing to note: the room has no curtains. However, no-one can look in at you, so it doesn't really matter :)
Meine zwei Wochen bei Annette und Lars waren sehr gut. Die beiden sind zwei nette und intelligente Menschen mit denen man sehr interessante Gespräche führen kann. Das Zimmer ist wunderschön und immer weiter zu empfehlen. :)
Sehr nette Gastgeberin, sie hat uns viele Tipps zu Berlin gegeben und war sehr kontaktfreudig. Wohnung war toll und sehr sauber. Gute Lage. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Jederzeit wieder bei Annette. Viele Grüße
Vielen Dank Annette für die schöne Zeit. Ich habe mich wieder sehr wohl gefühlt. Bis zum nächsten Mal.
Schönes helles und sauberes Zimmer in zentraler Lage. Annette ist eine unkomplizierte, hilfsbereite und sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Jeder Zeit wieder.
Eine einladende Wohnung und ein sauberes helles Zimmer zum Wohlfühlen. Im Simon-Dach-Kiez super zentral gelegen bei angenehm freundlichen, gut informierten Gastgebern, die zu jeder Frage eine Antwort wissen. Da die Wohnung sich im fünften Stock befindet, schläft es sich besonders ruhig. Jederzeit wieder.

GATOR BOWL: MSU vs. Northwestern Tuesday, 11 a.m. at Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Playing in a New Year's Day bowl game doesn't faze Josh Robinson.
Sure, Tuesday's Gator Bowl against Northwestern will be the first bowl game for Robinson, Mississippi State's redshirt freshman tailback. But he's been in big games and big venues before, and he now has a full season of SEC football under his belt.
"Naw, it really don't affect me, because I played in the Superdome twice," Robinson said. "It's just like a normal state championship game. It's just a bowl game, so you've just got to go out there and perform."
Robinson led Franklinton (La.) High School to two consecutive state title game appearances, winning it all as a senior. Louisiana plays its high school championships in the Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints.
The Gator Bowl will be played at EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. MSU was here two years ago, and 22 players on the current roster participated in that game.
That means a lot of young faces will be getting their first taste of the college postseason. MSU has been leaning on guys like Robinson, who's second on the team in rushing with 244 yards.
With backup Nick Griffin out injured, Robinson and fellow redshirt freshman Derrick Milton might have to play a significant role behind starter LaDarius Perkins.
"We're going to have to step our game up a little bit. We've got to fill in that role," Robinson said.
Prescott should play
Dak Prescott is another redshirt freshman who should see the field today. The backup quarterback has been used more and more as the season's gone on.
He's accounted for four touchdowns rushing and four passing, and Prescott has embraced the expectations coaches have put upon him.
"We thrive on the coaches expecting more out of us," he said. "These young guys, we pick it up. We have to play more and expect more out of us, so we're going to go out there, and we're going to perform and do what we can do to help the team."
One quality that has helped Prescott and Robinson be so effective is the willingness to shoulder coaches' expectations while assuming complementary roles. There are no apparent jealousies, just a desire to help each other and the team get better.
"I'm going to go out here and help my team as much as I can and get better at practice," Prescott said. "When it comes game time, perform when my number's called."

It was the moment we all waited for: the release of the minutes from the FOMC's July meeting. And now that the minutes have been released, we can all pause for a deep breath and realize we're back where we started.
The reaction to the release was quick. Treasury yields jumped, the S&P 500 fell 0.6% to a new low on the day, while the Dow Jones Industrials dropped 0.5%, also to a new low of the day. Five minutes later, those losses had been nearly erased.
The headlines showed an equally confused reaction to the minutes. USA Today said, "Policymakers favor tapering this year," while Bloomberg also said the minutes showed support for the end of the Fed's bond buying. But Reuters and the Wall Street Journal might have summed it up best. The Journal's headline: "Fed Views Mixed on Bond Buying." Reuters: "Fed meeting minutes offer few clues on timing of QE3 reduction."
Now its Rorschach-test time, as analysts begin to read into the minutes what they want to see. Here's Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson, explaining the move in stocks:
Concerning the likely path for asset purchases the Committee flipped between the solid nature of payroll employment and a series of labor utilization measures that showed only modest improvements. "Almost all Committee members agreed that a change in the purchase program was not yet appropriate." A few members called for patience and were willing to evaluate future data before deciding to trim purchases. A few others warmed to the contingent plan and suggested that it might soon be time to slow somewhat the pace of purchases outlined in the plan.
In conclusion we remain as informed as we were ahead of the FOMC release and it is equally fair to state that the market has by and large digested the message about its decision-making process ahead as more data becomes available.
Deutsche Bank's Alan Ruskin, however, says the Fed didn't feel a need to alter its previous message much:
[The Fed] did not wish to alter market expectations, taking a view that the market had essentially heard the message appropriately. That does not smack of a Fed going out of its way to fight the back-up in bond yields at the time (10s were trading 2.6 – 2.7% surrounding the meeting), which is partly why Treasuries have sold off.
Now, as I finish this post, indexes are bouncing towards their highs of the day. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is off 0.03% at $165.52 today, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) has dropped 0.1% to $149.65, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) has gained 0.2% to $102.27, and the PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) has gained 0.4% to $75.95.
Glad we got that all sorted out.

There's a reason musicians write so many songs about us. It's the same reason we're home to the world's most iconic entertainment brands. In Tennessee, we're not just committed to music and entertainment – we are music and entertainment.
Why bring your business to Tennessee? Because we're home to Music City, U.S.A and Soulville, U.S.A—the top cities in the nation for the music and entertainment industries. More than a quarter of the country's music publishers are located in Tennessee. In Nashville alone, 7.8 per 1000 jobs are in the music industry cluster. Compare that to 2.8 in New York, 2.6 in Austin and 2.0 in Los Angeles. See where this is going?
When you're home to the legendary Memphis blues and soul scene, and Music City USA, you must be doing something right. Nashville alone is home to more than 80 record labels, 130 music publishers and 180 recording studios. Instead of a road lined with red tape, Tennessee has a pipeline of business incentives – including our innovative FastTrack funding program – that runs straight from us to you. Big or small, back-end or front-end, the stage is set for you in Tennessee.
Tennessee has an incredible network of musicians, singers, composers and sound engineers who are ready to take your business wherever it needs to go. If you have questions, we have answers. Check out our resources, and come and jam where the music's already playing.
When a company is ready to discuss their project, they get Bob Raines. Bob works with the music and entertainment companies that are interested in relocating, expanding or starting a business in Tennessee.

U.S. poet laureate to present Tanner lecture, April 5
Posted March 29, 2001; 01:45 p.m.
Pinsky, former poet laureate of the United States, will continue the Tanner Lectures on Human Values on Thursday, April 5, in Helm Auditorium, McCosh 50. At 4:30 p.m., he will offer the second part of his lecture, "American Culture and the Voice of Poetry." Four invited scholars will deliver commentary immediately following.
Pinsky also is poetry editor of the online journal Slate and a contributor to "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer." He teaches writing at Boston University. His work, "The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems 1965-1995," was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry and received the Lenore Marshall Award and the Ambassador Book Award of the English Speaking Union. He also has won the Saxifrage Prize and the William Carlos Williams Prize of the Poetry Society of America, and his collection of essays, "Poetry and the World," was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism. "The Inferno of Dante," a new verse translation, was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Award in poetry and the Howard Morton Landon Prize for translation. His latest collection of poems is "Jersey Rain."
The commentators will be: A.S. Byatt, one of England's foremost writers and the author of "Angels and Insects" and "Possession"; Jonathan Galassi, publisher, editor-in-chief and executive vice president of Farrar, Straus and Giroux and a prize-winning poet; John Hollander, professor of English at Yale University and the author of 15 books of verse; and Marianna Torgovnick, professor of English at Duke University, who writes on the novel and novel theory, postcolonialism, modernism and contemporary American issues.
The lecture is sponsored by the University Center for Human Values. Princeton is one of nine institutions that regularly play host to the annual Tanner Lectures, which advance scholarly and scientific learning related to human values.
The lecture will be followed by a reception at Prospect House; the public is invited to attend. For more information, call 258-4798 or e-mail email@example.com .

Historical flag to be rededicated on Veterans Day, Nov. 11
Posted November 3, 2004; 09:52 p.m.
An observance of Veterans Day will take place at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 11, in the University Chapel and will include the rededication of a flag that flew on the USS Princeton until it went down during a World War II battle 60 years ago.
The USS Princeton, an Independence class small carrier, was the fourth of six U.S. Navy ships to bear that name. Built in Camden, N.J., it was launched on Oct. 18, 1942, and commissioned on Feb. 25, 1943. The ship's flag was presented to the University by charter trustee James Forrestal, a member of the class of 1915, when he was secretary of the Navy in 1944-45.
The flag had hung in the chapel's Marquand Transept for many years, and later was moved to the crypt. Recently, the 50-by-29-inch, 48-star flag was sent to a restorer in Pennsylvania.
All veterans and other members of the University community are welcome to attend the event, which is intended to honor the memory of veterans in general and, in particular, Princeton alumni, faculty and staff who served and died in the nation's wars.
More information is available in the Weekly Bulletin.

UW-Madison lab cited for burned cat
No penalties issued by USDA in incident
Federal inspectors have cited a University of Wisconsin-Madison research lab after a cat was burned.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture noted in the lab's records that a hand warmer keeping the cat warm slipped onto its leg and burned it last April.
The director of the Research Animal Resources Center, Eric Sandgren, said the cat was treated at the time of the injury and that preventive measures have been taken. The lab was cited, but no penalties were issued.
USDA spokesman David Sacks told the Journal Sentinel the citation was issued after the agency looked into complaint from the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals about chronic infections and other problems with the cats.

Jody, he's been absent since your encounter. You haven't missed much at Target though, Monday was the only day for new stuff this week.
Silver Surfer looks to be a 1-per-case figure, too. Way to go, Hasbro! Keep up with Toy Biz' ridiculous assortments, just like the now-absent Marvel Legends (who makes THOR a chase figure?! Even if he is in his goofy Asgard-ruler outfit). Even though the two Human Torch figures are pretty good this time (unlike Toy Biz' efforts on the first film), they're gonna sit there almost as long as the crappy Reed & Thing figures. Doom looks awful, but may eventually move well as people realize he's in the film. I'm still a bit sore over Toy Biz' FF Classics line which had a great Wave 2 that nobody saw outside comic shops, pretty much, because of all the stupid Torches & Reeds clogging TRU's pegs.

Okay was not going to get in to this but I will say this Blake is a relative newbie to FT and I have met him and he seems like a real good guy. I can't speak for him but I don't think his intentions are as bad as they may seem or the way some of you are portraying them to be. I will also say this there are worse politics between judges and handlers and people that are supposed to be amateur but we all know there are loop holes in that process. If the city if Little Rock says its worth it to them to get there name out there then what difference does it make to you. He pays his taxes just like everybody else he's just trying to get some back. Don't you wish you could? And to say that he is trying to run a scheme or scam money out of any body is BS. That would imply that he would be lying to get money which he is not so maybe some people should think before they go trying to run somebody's character down that they don't know. People seam to want to do that while sitting behind a computer screen. Joking and kidding around are one thing but out right slander is another.
B I would say that if you intend on running FT and amateurs then pass on this idea. Because sponsorship and HT doesn't really come in to play because there is no meaning behind some being am or pro. Because technically you would be compensated for training and running that dog no matter wether you own it or not.
Also just know that on this site you have to have some thick skin. They are not overly receptive to new guys and some can be a$$'$ some times. Get with me and come train next weekend.

Success Stories ·
"The Moot Corp Competition helped us identify holes in our business plan. The questions posed by the judges came from their own experiences. It was up to us to learn from their perspectives – and perhaps mistakes – and avoid committing them ourselves." – Ranjit Nayak, MBA '07
As they were driving to the Texas Evening MBA orientation retreat in San Antonio, Ranjit Nayak, an integration manager at IBM, and Divakak Jandhyala, a product-line development manager at BMC Software, talked about the widespread problem of accounting for the use of IT services. This discussion planted the seed for a business idea they originated three years later when they launched eVapt – a software infrastructure company that helps new, web-based programs or web-based software companies with billing and how they charge for their products.
It was in Bob May's Managerial Accounting class in 2006 that Nayak and Jandhyala learned about activity-based costing and use of cost drivers in accounting. They both saw how this concept addressed the problem of accounting in the computing industry, the problem they talked about earlier at orientation. Nayak decided to move forward with the idea by entering the Idea to Product Competition, sponsored by the College of Engineering. "The judges had lots of questions and helped to pinpoint areas that needed more development and identify what could go wrong," Nayak said.
In summer 2006, they took John Doggett's Entrepreneurship Practicum. The course helped them understand what they were getting into. "This was simply the best preparation I could have hoped for. The class opened my eyes and let me consider my options. Just to know what the issues are is important," Nayak said.
In the fall of 2006 they took Rob Adams' New Venture Creation class, where they prepared for the 2007 Texas Moot Corp Competition. "We were able to think through the issues in a rational progression that helped us identify holes in our business plan," Nayak said.
At the Texas Moot Corp Competition in January 2007, the judges posed a lot of hard questions based on their industry experience. When eVapt didn't place in the competition, they realized they were not communicating clearly and revamped their presentation for the upcoming Carnegie-Mellon competition. It worked. They won the March 2007 McGinnis Venture Competition at Carnegie Mellon, with a prize valued at $25,000.
While in the MBA program, they networked through other campus organizations and faculty, including organizations like the Texas Entrepreneur Society. Also, Professor Doggett introduced them to organizations like INDUS Entrepreneurs, a professional entrepreneur organization.
After officially launching the company in March 2007, eVapt applied to the Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) where they were housed the next two years. With operational guidance and infrastructure support from ATI, they were able to continue developing their product while networking with other start-ups, potential investors and sales leads. "Having access to Daniel Nelson, MBA '06, co-founder of Phurnace Software as a part of ATI was extremely valuable. It was like driving in a thunderstorm following the tracks and tail lights of the car in front," Nayak said.
2007 and 2008 were difficult years in the funding market. Many venture capitalists were backing out of seed-stage investing. Despite this, eVapt began working with a large beta customer, landed their first customer in July 2007 and received a $250,000 investment from a retired Dell angel investor. "We felt the market was not ready for our solution. Ours was new technology that provided a fundamental shift for processing and billing accounting solutions," he said.
But by March 2009, several large companies showed interest in eVapt's new software solution, which presented an opportunity for an exit strategy. "Acquisition was the preferred exit at the very inception of the venture," said Nayak. They put feelers in the market and received interest from several companies. In October 2009, MagnaQuest purchased eVapt. Located in Hyderabad, India, eVapt still operates out of Austin with Jandhyala as CEO. Nayak is pursuing options for his next new venture.

Hi, I've learned and know the basics of C++ and wanting to know how to get into OpenGL. I know there's multiple threads about this, but it's all very confusing.
Where can I download OpenGL? I see in threads that it comes from the video card drivers, and that you have to use something like GLEW. Next, what tutorial should I use to learn OpenGL? Also, I want to focus on the 2D side first, before 3D, so things are a bit easier. I'm programming in Arch Linux, using vim. However, I will also be porting my code to Windows, so on my computer, I will also compile using windows. I see that NeHe tutorials are recommended but his is about an older version of OpenGL and it's in 3D. Is there any other ones that can meet my criteria? I need a tutorial that helps absolute beginners.

IDF's advocacy campaign has stepped-up a gear to ensure diabetes is at the heart of the future development agenda after the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expire in 2015. IDF strengthened its role as a thought leader within this process, with the Global Thematic Consultation on Health report reflecting many of IDF's priorities and recommendations.
The launch of the Lancet series on NCDs in February - which IDF and the NCD Alliance contributed to - underscored the "rational, compelling and urgent" need to include diabetes and the related NCDs in future development goals. UK Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement in support of the series, stating that diseases such as diabetes "affect the poorest people in the world - as prevention, detection and treatment services are often out of reach". Helen Clark, the Head of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and keynote speaker at the event, called for NCDs to be included on the post-2015 agenda to improve "people's lives, opportunities and future prospects - thereby advancing sustainable human development overall".

Abdominal sounds are the noises made by the intestines.
Bowel sounds
Abdominal sounds (bowel sounds) are made by the movement of the intestines as they push food through. Since the intestines are hollow, bowel sounds can echo through the abdomen much like the sounds heard from water pipes.
Most bowel sounds are harmless and simply mean that the gastrointestinal tract is working. A doctor can check abdominal sounds by listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope (auscultation).
Although most bowel sounds are normal, there are some instances in which abnormal bowel sounds provide valuable information about the health of the body.
Ileus is a condition in which there is a lack of intestinal activity. Many medical conditions may lead to ileus. It is important to evaluate it further because gas, fluids, and the contents of the intestines can build up and break open (rupture) the bowel wall. The doctor may be unable to hear any bowel sounds when listening to the abdomen.
Reduced (hypoactive) bowel sounds include a reduction in the loudness, tone, or regularity of the sounds. They are a sign that intestinal activity has slowed.
Hypoactive bowel sounds are normal during sleep, and also occur normally for a short time after the use of certain medications and after abdominal surgery. Decreased or absent bowel sounds often indicate constipation.
Increased (hyperactive) bowel sounds can sometimes be heard even without a stethoscope. Hyperactive bowel sounds mean there is an increase in intestinal activity. This can sometimes occur with diarrhea and after eating.
Abdominal sounds are always evaluated together with symptoms such as:
If bowel sounds are hypoactive or hyperactive and there are other abnormal symptoms, it is important for you to have continued follow-up with your health care provider.
For example, no bowel sounds after a period of hyperactive bowel sounds can mean there is a rupture of the intestines, or strangulation of the bowel and death (necrosis) of the bowel tissue.
Very high-pitched bowel sounds may be a sign of early bowel obstruction.
Most of the sounds you hear in your stomach and intestines are due to normal digestion and are no need for concern. Many conditions can cause hyperactive or hypoactive bowel sounds. Most are harmless and do not need to be treated.
The following is a list of more serious conditions that can cause abnormal bowel sounds.
Hyperactive, hypoactive, or missing bowel sounds:
Other causes of hypoactive bowel sounds:
Other causes of hyperactive bowel sounds:
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms such as:
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask you questions about your medical history and symptoms. You may be asked:
The doctor may order more tests. Tests may include:
If there are signs of an emergency, you will be sent to the hospital. A tube will be placed through your nose or mouth into the stomach or intestines. This empties your intestines. Usually, you will not be allowed to eat or drink anything so your intestines can rest. You will be given fluids through a vein (intravenously).
You may be given medication to reduce symptoms and to treat the cause of the problem. (The specific medication depends on the situation.) Some people may need surgery right away.

Lucas probably began working on this plate before November 1831 (Beckett IV, p. 361), basing it on a version of The Glebe Farm 1830 that was subsequently bequeathed to the Tate Gallery by Constable's family in 1888. He made at least seven progress proof variations before the published state, of which this is the sixth. During the proofing highlights were added throughout, and small birds included in the sky.
Heysen noted: 'I am particularly impressed with … "The Glebe Farm"' (Heysen, 1947?, NLA MS5073/1/2283).

Tie two three-foot-long ribbons to it, knotting a glass ball at each end. Then cut four more ribbons two inches shorter than the first; tie them to the eye-hook so they surround the center balls. Attach ornaments to the ends. Build the next tier (again, two inches shorter than the last) with four more ribbons to create an upside-down pyramid. Last, use Blu-Tack (a reusable adhesive) to secure each ball to the one next to it. After the holidays, store the arrangement in a large box stuffed with tissue paper.

When did you vote, what kind of crowds, any problems?
Kathy and I voted last Friday which was the end of the first week of early voting. We voted around lunch time. There were about 15-20 people there to vote and that number remained steady while we were there. I asked one of the volunteers if they had a good turnout and she said they had a constant flow of folks coming in but never any long lines. My daughter in law voted early last week and reported only a few people there when she voted.

As the global financial sector has swelled, the gap between the rich and the poor has grown. Three new books -- by James Galbraith, Robert Shiller, and Charles Ferguson -- come down differently on how much banks are to blame for inequality and what the government should do about it. Pushing for more accountability would be a good place to start.

If incidence rates remain the same, the number of youth with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. is projected to increase by a staggering 49 percent over the next 40 years, while the number with type 1 is expected to climb 23 percent, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published in the December issue of Diabetes Care. However, if incidence increases, the number of youth with type 2 could quadruple and the number with type 1 could triple, the researchers concluded, with an increasing proportion of youth with diabetes from minority populations.

Talks explore history and future of higher education
Posted November 19, 2008; 05:28 p.m.
Three lectures by Columbia University scholar Andrew Delbanco will examine the history and future of higher education at 5:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, Dec. 1-3, in McCosh 10.
The lecture series is titled "Does College Really Matter? The History of Undergraduate Education, Why It's in Trouble and What to Do About It." Delbanco will address the changes in higher education that have evolved as the opportunity to attend college has expanded and the cost has escalated.
Delbanco is the Julian Clarence Levi Professor in the Humanities at Columbia. His books include "Melville: His World and Work," "The Real American Dream" and "Required Reading: Why Our American Classics Matter Now." He is a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books and The New Republic, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The talks are designated as the Stafford Little Lectures, sponsored by the University Public Lectures Series and the Princeton University Press.

Franzen Frenzy?
As we know, New Yorkers get excited when a new product is first released to the market. They line up for hours outside Apple stores for new iPhones and iPads. They sleep outside big boxes like IKEA the night before a grand opening, just to be the first inside. They even do it for books, camping by the doorways of bookstores on the nights when fresh Harry Potters come screaming into the world.
So I figured, with all the Franzen hoopla, there would at least be a small line.
But there was no line. Not even Greg Packer, the guy who camps out in line for everything, was there. Shortly before midnight, about 6 people were in the bookstore, milling about. Billie Holiday sang the blues over the loudspeakers. The shop had a hollow feeling. It was sort of depressing.
Still, I imagined that when the books arrived, there would be some fanfare. They'd be wheeled out on a festooned palette, in a big stack like a frosty birthday cake. Bibliophiles would suddenly appear at the door to grab up multiple copies for posterity. Hey, this guy was just on the cover of TIME magazine! But that didn't happen.
When the clerk announced, in a weary, bemused voice, "Ladies and gentleman, it is midnight and we are now legally permitted to sell to you Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, the book that the New York Times just cannot stop praising," there was a barely discernible ripple of acknowledgment from the patrons. He placed a handful of copies on the New Fiction shelf, mixed in among the other authors whose names begin with F.
One young woman perked up. I think she might have exclaimed, "Oh boy!" She was the first to grab a copy and the first to buy it.
"How does it feel to be the first person to own that book in New York City?" the clerk asked her.
"Am I really the first?"
"Well, the first to own it legally."
Then a couple of young men sidled up, real casual, as if they weren't there for one reason only. They picked up the book and inspected it. They turned a few pages, looking unimpressed as they pretended to be making a decision. They bought it, too. Then another. And maybe one more. One guy left without even looking at it. And then the store was pretty much empty.
Maybe if it was a new flavor of cupcake, people would have been there.

well if they were offering a complimentary shake shack burger, or a magnolia cupcake, or a pinkberry fro-yo..., the line would have formed since the weekend.
also, it could also be because that there's this franzenfreude counter movement against the franzen frenzy

so true about the free food!
despite my petulant cupcake remark, i have to say, in defense of the book lovers who weren't lining up at midnight, maybe people who are interested in reading a 500-page book are also good at delaying gratification. unlike folks who camp out for iPhones.
personally, i was hoping for something eventful so i could report today: "Book lovers line up for Franzen at midnight." if i wasn't blogging about it, i probably could've waited until today to buy it.
obviously, i am thinking too much about this.
as for Franzenfreude, that's really gotten under my skin.

In fact, I've got that damn book turned around on my bookshelf so I don't have to see JF's giant name staring at me from the spine. It's bigger than all the other names on all the other books on my shelf and that has something to do with my dislike...I think it's mostly to do with my feelings towards the author rather than his writing, although I have a problem with that, too. I find him pretentious and fat-headed, but if anyone would like to show me the light, feel free...
- August 31, 2010 at 1:35 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
i guess i think of him as more "serious" than pretentious, but i see how that can come across. his writing resonates with me. i like smart curmudgeons. also, his essay "Imperial Bedroom," about how cell phones rob us of our public privacy, is most excellent:
- August 31, 2010 at 2:31 PM
- Goggla said...
I have to laugh because that very essay will not display for me...so I have been searching for it and can only find interviews with the author himself. It's as if he knows what I said...lol.
- August 31, 2010 at 2:42 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
he's listening... :)
it's a good essay, if you're ever able to check it out.
- August 31, 2010 at 2:49 PM
- Jeremiah Moss said...
also, one of the best scenes in The Corrections, one i think of often, is when Chip tries to get his college students to see through the manipulation in the "You Go, Girl!" ad campaign. of course, the kids are totally resistant to critical thinking. (starts on page 39)
we need more people writing this stuff.

kind of amazing that Chock Full survives. but does anyone eat cream cheese sandwiches anymore?

Well, I'll give 'Corrections' another shot based on your recommendation, but I'm with Goggla on that one. Tried it, didn't make it past the first few pages. Maybe like page ten. Curious about the essay though (your link didn't work)
But I'm not surprised people weren't lining up for his book.
- September 1, 2010 at 6:12 AM
- John M said...
if he was as good as his p.r. machine, there would have been a mob. as it is, he's just another of a crop of good writers. maybe if his first big hit wasn't full of so many gimmicks....that he's considered a heavyweight 'serious' writer is kind of amusing, and says more about the times we're in than it does about him. besides, harry potter books are a more apt comparison to ipods and iphones. those books get crowds. see the pattern? iphones, movies, harry potter....people line up for stuff that's fun. franzen isn't exactly a page-turner.

My Dad ate cream cheese sandwiches too with a bit of mayo. He said with some people "taste is in their mouth".
- September 1, 2010 at 9:33 AM
I love cream cheese sandwiches on, omg, extra yummy datenut bread!
I liked the Corrections but probably was just in the mood to be toyed with. Maybe will check out new book but agree w/ Goggla - if the author feels smug or annoying - fuggetaboutit.
My guess @ StMark Books is: the people (me) who shop there are much too chill to camp for a book - thats a BarnseandNobles thing.
- September 3, 2010 at 8:21 AM
his form of lowbrow writing, landing on the desk of the puppet in office, is akin to a new flavor of cupcake and every bit a 'novelty' as the novelties that lined fifth avenue

Wow, you 'turfed so hard I have rug burn!
If you are not shooting at the person, you are spraying bullets somewhere else. And weren't 2 kids there, also? So just fire off some shots in some direction so you can clip a neighbor, someone walking by, a passing car, have a ricochete and hit someone in the house. OK, it you are in the middle of the a forest, ocean or desert, feel free to put a shot into the ground, otherwise you are being reckless and a danger to others. And don't give me any bull about "putting a shot somewhere safe." The only safe place safe to discharge a weapon with other people around is a controlled firing range, and then only once you have passed a safety course.
This isn't a movie, kid.
