Treatment of Rare Historic Wall Plaque
Wall Plaque, Certificate of Incorporation and Associated Document (ca. 1900)
subscribe_url: '/share/sites/Bapu4ruC/preservation.php'
Conservation Challenges
Conservation decisions regarding treatment of the plaque were complicated by competing claims of wholeness and authenticity. Where the acidic and brittle paperboard frame had split an original manuscript was revealed below a more recently adhered, printed list. In another area of the plaque a printed text had apparently been removed at some point to reveal manuscript text so there was historic precedent for such intervention. Potentially, it was possible to remove the printed list, preserve it separately, and return the plaque to a state closer to its original construction. This possibility was rejected because the adhesives used to adhere the paper strips could not be identified without destructive sampling; the impact of removal of unknown adhesives on the manuscript ink (which may have been permeated by the adhesive) could not be predicted; the reaction of the ink and brittle board to further introduction of moisture (necessary to swell the adhesive) could be damaging; and due to concerns as to whether the amount of time it might take to perform the treatment was a prudent use of limited conservation resources.
Treatment of this complex object presented additional conservation challenges concerning questions of stabilizing the object and improving its appearance while respecting material evidence of the object's history. In the case of the plaque, only some of the damaging and disfiguring material evidence of environmental and historical impact could be mitigated. The surface of the object could be cleaned but not all embedded grime could be removed. Some accretions could be removed mechanically and some staining could be reduced through use of a mild enzymatic solution but other accretions and discoloration could not be removed without damaging the fragile surface of the paper. This was also true of prior mending; on the back of the plaque pressure sensitive adhesive tape and gummed kraft paper mends could be removed and replaced with new (more effective and stable) mends. However, on the front, prior mends applied with a tenacious compound adhesive could not be removed. In areas of manuscript, text paper remnants and adhesive residues of previously removed printed text could be removed but in the one instance where a letter of printed text remained the remnant was retained.
The certificate of incorporation was detached, the acidic backing was removed and the certificate was cleaned, washed, mended, relined, and re-attached, although not all discoloration could be removed. Conservation ethics demand balancing all these concerns in a scientifically sound and culturally sensitive fashion.

Equality Now supports the International Violence Against Women Act (HR 4594/S 2982) in order to achieve a more comprehensive, multi-sectoral, and coordinated response to violence against women that is not only more efficient, but also a wise investment. The I-VAWA would:
- Create high-level offices at the State Department and USAID responsible for developing and implementing programs to end violence against women and girls.
- Direct the office at the State Department to create a comprehensive 5-year strategy to reduce violence against women and girls beginning with 5-20 countries.
- Fund comprehensive programs in these countries that address violence in a coordinated way, through legal and health sector reform, by changing social norms and attitudes that condone rape and abuse, and improving education and economic opportunities for women and girls.
- Specifically target a portion of the funding to overseas women's organizations to develop their capacity to work independently of U.S. support.
- Urge the U.S. government to act in cases of extreme outbreaks of violence against women and girls, for example, to address the horrific levels of rape experienced by women and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Current U.S. efforts to address violence against women are well intentioned but fragmented, piecemeal and uncoordinated. Please write to your Senator and Congressperson to support the I-VAWA.
TAKE ACTION HERE or use the sample letter below.
*re-issued November 2010 for passage this year*
Dear [Senator][Representative]
I am writing to voice my support for the International Violence Against Women Act (HR 4594/ S 2982).
Globally, it is estimated that one out of every three women will be beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused over the course of her lifetime, with rates of domestic violence reaching up to 71% in some countries. Somewhere a woman is raped, beaten, killed by her husband, trafficked or forced to trade sex for food every day.
I believe that efforts to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls should be a top priority in U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance programs. Not only is violence against women and girls a gross human rights violation, it is also a public health epidemic and a barrier to solving global challenges such as extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS, armed conflict and terrorism.
The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) supports innovative programs, which have been shown to effectively decrease acts of violence and support survivors. Many of these programs help women and girls do things we so often take for granted: go to school, earn an income to take care of their families, collect food or water without fear of rape and bring perpetrators of abuse to justice. I-VAWA will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of existing U.S. foreign policy to end and respond to violence against women and girls around the world.
When implemented, I-VAWA would help put an end to the fear, pain and suffering experienced by countless women and girls globally. Please use your leadership role to help facilitate the progress of this important legislation through Congress.
I thank you for your attention.
Sincerely yours,

Bar bands in Summit County this weekend: Neil Diamond tribute, funk, Americana & soul
February 17, 2012
Who: Forever in Blue JeansWhen: TonightWhere: three20south, BreckenridgeWhere'd the name come from? We started out several years ago with a single winter concert at Cervantes Ballroom in Denver. The then-owner wanted to call the show "Diamonds are Forever." As we progressed and continued to perform, the name stuck with us, but we always felt like we had to tack on "the Neil Diamond tribute" so that the public would have an idea as to what we were all about. Not so long ago, however, it was decided that, in the interest of conciseness and clarity, a change of name was in order. "Forever in Blue Jeans," the title of a very popular Neil Diamond song, became our trademark. The new name still evokes a sense of the enduring quality and impact of Neil Diamond's music, while also signifying just how much we love to rock out in our blue jeans!Home base: DenverType of music: We do our best to recreate the passion and energy of Neil Diamond's music as it was originally created.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A diamond – self explanatory.Why do people love ya? People love Forever in Blue Jeans because they love Neil Diamond's music and what it means to them. We've been told that we do it justice, and the singer, Aaron Rose, has got the voice pretty much down cold. Or maybe some people just love to go out and dance to some great music. It's always a really fun time! "Ahhhh… Cracklin' Rosie get onboard!" How do you keep it fresh? Wardrobe changes! Thanks to his mother's sewing skills, Aaron Rose is always adding to his collection of flashy, sequined shirts. Don't be surprised if you see more than one in an evening.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Nothing really seems that crazy or weird when you're in a Neil Diamond tribute band.
Who: S.A.S.S. – Sweet Alma Soul SistersWhen: TonightWhere: Alma's Only BarWhere'd the name come from? We're all women from Alma, so we started with Alma Soul Sisters. The group's first version of their name was not one they were excited about and so 'Sweet' was added, and the Sweet Alma Soul Sisters (SASS) were formed. Home base: ALMA, of course! Type of music: To sum it up, we play an eclectic mix of alternative, pop-rock music with soul. We play a lot of music you will recognize mixed with SASS originals that you will love.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? Your favorite CD – the one that you love so much you play it over and over again.Why do people love ya? We're an all girl's band; what else needs to be said. No, really: We play fun, enjoyable music that you want to jam out to!How do you keep it fresh? We play music that moves us and what we love to listen to. We are always adding new material to keep it stimulating to our listeners.
Who: Achachay!When: SaturdayWhere: MotherLoaded Tavern, BreckenridgeWhere'd the name come from? A mystical experience in South America.Home base: A van down by the Colorado River (in Texas).Type of music: Funky, rocking, booty-shaking music. Who are you? We are three passionate dudes who know how to bring the party to the mind, body and soul. If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A cowbell, because it brings everyone together and gets you shaking from your core.Why do people love ya? People love us because we play our instruments really well, our songs are fresh and catchy, and the energy in our shows is so high and fun that you can't help but feel the love. How do you keep it fresh? We play a kind of music that no one else does. It's deep and spiritual, yet simultaneously practical and fun. For example, we'll sing about the psychological underpinnings of the quintessential "player," a guy who's just out for one night stands, while playing a drinking game with the crowd.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Crazy is in the eye of the beholder. Getting college degrees and then choosing to live out of van and driving hours a day and sleeping on couches seems crazy to some. For us, it's the only reasonable thing to do with our lives.
Who: Roster McCabeWhen: SundayWhere: three20southWhere'd the name come from? The band name is a secret, but I can tell you it has something to do with an old, old wooden ship made in the Civil War era.Home base: We call Minneapolis home.Type of music you play: We call our music funky/reggae/dance/rock. Basically, we're five guys who have very eclectic tastes in music. Everyone brings in their own influences; we mix it all together, and you get the Roster McCabe sound. If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? I would say the band is a lot like molten lava. It's fiery and unpredictable, yet it always draws you in because you want to see what it will do next. However, when it's all said and done, it's as solid as a rock.Why do people love ya? People just have a fun time at our shows. We bring a lot of different things to the table musically, so boredom never really has the chance to creep in. Most importantly, we all have a good time on stage, and I'm sure that people can see that, so it all just works together to create a really fun atmosphere.How do you keep it fresh? We keep things fresh by never really saying "no" to anything. All styles of music are fair game. We also incorporate some "jam" elements to our live show, so even if someone were to see us multiple nights in a row, things would be different for them each night.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? The weirdest experience was probably last winter when our brand new van and trailer managed to roll down a steep, icy driveway and almost ended up in a lake. It was quite a day full of panic, luck, cold fingers, lots of phone calls, and a sassy old lady with a big pick up truck.
Who: Tommy & The High PilotsWhen: MondayWhere: three20southWhere'd the name come from? A painting in an aviation art exhibit.Home base: Santa Barbara, CAType of music: A blend of Americana rock, folk and pop.If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? A motorcycle that has been around the block a few times. It's worn in and familiar but never loses its muscle.Why do people love ya? Because we love them.How do you keep it fresh? Keep moving forward. What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Early on in our touring career we played across the way from a puppet show at a county fair. It was right out of "Spinal Tap!"
Who: Allen Stone (headliner)When: MondayWhere: three20southHome base: SeattleType of music: Soul, R&BIf your music were a tangible item what would it be and why: Campbell's Soup cuz it's mmm good all the time.Why do people love ya? Cuz I make 'em get up and dance.Craziest thing you've done? Sang with Daryl Hall

Depends on your fields rules so you will have to ask them. Btw The first team to lose a player almost always loses that game so keep your guns rolling catch one of them making a mistake and the game is yours.
Posted 08 August 2012 - 07:06 PM
the towel is a flag, is the flag in the middle of the field or is there one at each flag station? if it is in the middle odds are you take the flag to their start station but if there are 2 flags then you take theirs back to your base

Lodge Cast Iron Cookware
Don't think for one second the Lodge Cast Iron Cookware sale is only about pans. We just couldn't figure out any good puns for griddles and Dutch ovens. If you think you've got one, write it on a postcard and tape it to your wall! You'll feel superior to us every time you look at it, and that'll feel good.

California Chrome odds surge in Kentucky Derby betting futures
He breezed through the Santa Anita Derby and breezed to the top of Kentucky Derby future odds list.
Now California Chrome appears set to go off as the prohibitive morning line favorite when the 2014 edition of the Run For the Roses goes May 3. He was 7/4 this week, down from 3/1 just a week ago.
Danza and Wicked Strong are the next two betting choices and they offer horse betting value. Danza won the Arkansas Derby (G1) at Oaklawn Park in a surprise performance which moved him up to 8/1.
The Todd Pletcher trainee looks to break a dreadful 1-for-36 mark for Pletcher in the Derby.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|dude the same thing happened to me... I was in TJ Maxx and they happened to have a pair of Sepia pants in an eggplant color...not too fond of it but it has grown on me since and I got them for like $50 20k/15k ratings and now I have used them for about 10 days and they're freaking awesome! Best pants I own and I have Burton, Bonfire, 4Square, Volcom and Sessions stuff and I haven't worn any of it unless the Sepia's are dirty or still wet! You'll love them and they are a spin off of 686 quality is impeccable
|yup, thats it! got those bad boys for $60 brand new!
Sepia Pants?
Ok, so my mom was browsing through this place called the burlington coat factory (its basically a huge tj maxx or marshalls) and knew I needed some pants so browsed through the skiing/snowboarding section, and found some pants that she thought I might like, called me up, told me about them, and told me the name and everything. At the time, I was skeptical and figured she would come back with some ski bibs, but I needed pants and would take whatever I could get, because the ones that I had before were cheap ones that would let water in after about 2 falls.
Well she got back and handed me the pants and I was very surprised. The first thing that I noticed right away is that these were no skiing pants and where defiantly designed for snowboarding. They were very baggy and after trying them on just felt wonderful. I looked at the tag and it said they went for $150 orginally but were marked down to $60. I also noticed that they were defiantly waterproof with a 15k mm rating and pretty breathable with a 10k gm rating) They also looked pretty good too. An off color white, almost ivory or gray, with small stripes running vertically down in different colors. Anyways, I looked them up and figured out that they were defiantly a snowboarding company and even had a small team put together. I researched even deeper and found out to my supprise that they were a sub company, or even a clothing line of 686. The pants that I got were called "embargo" and suprisingly enough, even though the tag said said orginally $150, I couldn't find them cheaper than $200 anywhere. lol, so I guess the lesson here is check your local bargain/overstock stores.
Anyway, haven't gotten to use them on the slope yet, but they seem like they will work wonderful. Wanted to ask if anyone else had any previous experience with these pants, or even Sepia.

Not sure I like that #6 on Ben Wallace - keep having flashbacks to the TMills days.
Listening to the 2nd half on the radio feed. Sure nice to hear Ben Wallace's name getting called for rebounds and good defensive plays. Gee, and its nice to hear Ben Gordon and Wilcox come on out and knock down 9 points between them real quick. Does not seem like scoring off the bench will be a problem.
Then you got Wilcox with the upside down 6, or 9 to be specific. Gonna be tough to keep the numbers straight.
Ben looks pretty good. I have been impressed. Actually, the whole squad is looking decent. It's only preseason, but lots of good things going on. Wilcox with a couple of nice inside moves. Haven't seen that in a long while from a Piston. Ben Gordon and Will Bynum both seem like they can score whenever they want.
lets not discount the fact that miami sucks
Right now we are up 15 or so. Bynum just came in with a few minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Its Bynum, Gordon, Daye, Wilcox, and Maxiell. So Villanueva is injured. We started Stuckey and Rip, with Tay, Ben Wallace, and Kwame Brown up front. And the bench is Bynum, Gordon, Daye, Wilcox, Maxiell. 68-57 after 3. 38-10 Our bench is outscoring theirs. Nice duck in and score for Maxiell. Up 76-59. Nine for JMAX. 8 to go. JMAX scored the last 4 for us. Stuckey, Gordon, Tay, JMAX, and Kwame in now. Kwame just scored again. Hard foul by JMAX to stop dunk.
George Blaha on Ben Gordon: "that smooth stroke and great handle.." ( 2 for 6 FG stat flashes on screen) 10 seconds later: "lost it in the lane though.."
worried that Bynum will kill Stuckey's confidence.....will Dumars ever admit we have three SG's? I don't think Bynum is a better player, but he seems better at the point right now.
They also had Gordon at the point for a stretch there and he looked pretty good. Overall, looks like a very well coached team. Defense has been solid and offensively there is an emphasis on getting into the paint. Only knock is that there have been more turnovers than what we are used to seeing but that's also a result of being more up-tempo and trying to go inside. This should clear up in time as the players get used to each other.
it's easy to look good against Miami's crap frontcourt... our frontcourt, unless Charlie Villanueva comes in and looks like a young Rasheed Wallace, is just so JV.
You don't get it either? What do I have a Magic TV - only comes in here.
no cable yet - will have wed. Summers in. Has not scored in the game yet. Jerebko, Jonas, in. 77-63 6 to go in game. Stuckey still in. Bynum in. Stuckey sits. Maxiell still in. Gordon misses. A fight. Jerebko hits someone. Magloire got hit. Bynum scores. Back up 12. Make that 10 Bynum offensive foul. New rules allow more review by officials of tape. They are checking to see how Jerebko got a bloody nose. Now they are throwing both Magloire and Jerebko out. And they took, what, 10 minutes to do it. Gordon turns it over. 9 point game. Maxiell, Baston, Gordon, Bynum, and Summers in. Summers hooks it in. Steal by Summers. Misses. Maxiell hard foul to stop dunk. 8 48% shooting for us vs. 35% shooting for them. Bynum misses but is fouled. Makes both. 83-73 2 minutes to go. Baston gets fouled. Makes 1-2. They get 2nd straight 3. Just up 5 now. Baston gets fouled. Bynum makes 2 free throws. He was not suppose to shoot. They took the points away. Can they do that? Probably not but they did. Baston has to shoot. Baston misses both. 1:21 to go. 4 point game. Foul Miami. Game will never end apparently. Announcers are begging to let the game please end. Baston misses anohter free throw. Makes one. 85-80 2 point game. Summers misses. Bynum blocks a three attempt. Summers got the rebound. Timeout. Bynum just traveled. Miami could send it to OT. Summers gets bound. We make 2-2 at the line. Game finally over. Wilcox ends up 5-6.
Jerebko got screwed. He should have never been ejected. Magliore threw the punch. Piston guards (Bynum, Gordon, Baston) have played no D in the final few minutes. They are leaving Miami guards wide open at the 3-point line. Baston might get cut after this game.
Bynum makes a nice block, but then he Arroyo-over-dribbles himself into a turnover. Miami has a chance to win with 10 seconds left.
NBA - Miami Heat/Detroit Pistons Box Score Monday October 5, 2009 - Yahoo! Sports Looks like the bench got a lot of points, but they did lousy in the plus/minus. Opposite for the starters. That seems weird, but I wasn't watching.
Jerebko is the new Amir. Six fouls in 11 mins. But I bet he did it all athletic -like.
Maybe he does have a little bad boy in him. Throws a punch in the first pre-season game?
Only watched the highlights, but it looked like a decent start to a season. That block by Daye was really impressive. And yes, Jerebko did get screwed in that fight in the end. Magloire threw the punch and Jerebko was just pushing back. How awesome it is that the very first points for the Pistons this year came from a nice putback dunk by Big Ben. That was just perfect. Kudos to Quester for starting Ben. The only thing that was wrong was the jersey #. I'm feeling good about this team and can't wait until the season starts.
Let the "next Bill Laimbeer" BS begin.
Can't we let him play a few years before we start the talk about him being the next coach of the shock...

Right-Wing Media Go On Attack Against Student Debt Relief
Fox News and the right-wing media are attacking President Obama's student loan relief plan as a "campaign speech" and an attempt to "buy votes." Obama's plan is designed to help ease the burden of student loans for millions of people by lowering interest rates, consolidating outstanding student loans, and providing debt relief to students after they spend 20 years paying off their loans.
Obama Announces Student Loan Relief Plan
AP: "Obama Announces Help For Student Loan Borrowers." From an October 26 Associated Press article:
President Barack Obama recalled his struggles with student loan debt as he unveiled a plan Wednesday that could give millions of young people some relief on their payments.
Obama's plan will accelerate a measure passed by Congress that reduces the maximum required payment on student loans from 15 percent of discretionary income annually to 10 percent. He will put it into effect in 2012, instead of 2014. In addition, the White House says the remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years, instead of 25. About 1.6 million borrowers could be affected.
He will also allow borrowers who have a loan from the Federal Family Education Loan Program and a direct loan from the government to consolidate them into one. The consolidated loan would carry an interest rate of up to a half percentage point less than before. This could affect 5.8 million borrowers.
Student loans are the No. 2 source of household debt. The president's announcement came on the same day as a new report on tuition costs from the College Board. It showed that average in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose $631 this fall, or 8.3 percent, compared with a year ago. Nationally, the cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000, an all-time high. [Associated Press, 10/26/11 [1], via ABCNews.com]
White House: "Obama Administration To Lower Student Loan Payments For Millions Of Borrowers." In an October 25 press release, the White House outlined the Obama administration's plan to help Americans "manage student loan debt." The press release stated that the plan will "offer recent graduates an opportunity to consolidate loans and reduce interest rates." From the press release:
Today, the Obama Administration announced it is taking steps to increase college affordability by making it easier to manage student loan debt. The announcement is part of a series of executive actions to put Americans back to work and strengthen the economy because we can't wait for Congressional Republicans to act.
The Administration is moving forward with a new "Pay As You Earn" proposal that will reduce monthly payments for more than one and a half million current college students and borrowers. Starting in 2014, borrowers will be able to reduce their monthly student loan payments to 10 percent of their discretionary income. But President Obama realizes that many students need relief sooner than that. The new "Pay As You Earn" proposal will allow about 1.6 million students the ability to cap their loan payments at 10 percent starting next year, and the plan will forgive the balance of their debt after 20 years of payments. Additionally, starting this January an estimated 6 million students and recent college graduates will be able to consolidate their loans and reduce their interest rates. [WhiteHouse.gov, 10/25/11 [2]]
Conservatives Attack Student Loan Relief Plan
Guilfoyle: Obama's Student Loan Relief Plan Is "Campaigning, It's Politics .... He Wants To Buy Some Votes Of The Youth." During the October 26 edition of Fox News' The Five, co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle suggested Obama's plan to provide some relief to people with student loans was actually an attempt to "buy some votes of the youth." From Fox News' The Five:
GREG GUTFELD (co-host): Kimberly, I want to ask you, though. The real problem here is tuition. It's not the loans. If the tuitions were lower you wouldn't have this problem with the loans. But because you have the loans, the tuition goes up.
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE: Right, but where's the incentive then to lower the tuition? Some people in colleges and institutions, they like their money. But what this is about is campaigning, it's politics, it's 2012. He wants to buy some votes of the youth. It makes sense.
GUTFELD: Yeah.
GUILFOYLE: These are the people who were very popular, came out for him, supported his presidency. He needs them again. Even more so this time. So this a way to rally them kind of speak to the people that are protesting and the college students. [Fox News, The Five, 10/26/11 [3]]
Bolling: Obama's Plan To Help Americans With Student Loan Debt Is An Attempt To "Buy The Young Vote." During the October 25 edition of The Five, co-host Eric Bolling attacked Obama's plan to help Americans consolidate and lower their payments on student loans after college before it was even announced. Bolling proclaimed the administration was attempting to "buy the young vote" and asserted that it "should be illegal." [Fox News, The Five, 10/25/11 [4]]
Lou Dobbs Claimed Obama's Plan Offering Relief To Student Loan Recipients Is About "Getting Re-Elected." In an October 26 Facebook post about Obama's new student loan relief plan, Fox's Lou Dobbs wrote, "this is more about getting re-elected than it is spurring economic growth." [Facebook, 10/26/11 [5]]
Perino Called Obama's Announcement Of Student Loan Relief Plan A "Campaign Speech." In an October 26 Twitter post, co-host for Fox News' The Five Dana Perino wrote:
[Twitter, 10/26/11 [6]]
Hoft: "Obama's Plan To Bailout Student Loan Recipients Is His Latest Attempt To Buy Votes At The Expense Of The American Taxpayer." From an October 26 blog post on Jim Hoft's Gateway Pundit blog:
Obama's plan to bailout student loan recipients is his latest attempt to buy votes at the expense of the American taxpayer. It also happens to be the latest move in his Cloward Piven strategy to destroy the US economy.
Free Obama Money for ... special interest groups.
Obama announced a new plan today that will add billions to his record debt and erode the US economy by giving free money to students who borrowed their way through college.[Gateway Pundit, 10/26/11 [7]]
Student Loan Debt Is A Growing Burden
Data Shows Average Debt For Students Graduating From College Is Rising At A Staggering Rate. Data analysis by The Project on Student Debt found that the average debt for graduating seniors at public universities is "$22,200 -- 20% higher than in 2004." The average debt for graduating seniors at private for-profit universities was "$33,050 - 23% higher than in 2004." From the January 2010 study titled Quick Facts about Student Debt:
Average debt levels for graduating seniors with student loans rose to $23,200 in 2008 -- a 24% increase from $18,650 in 2004.
In 2008:
• At public universities, average debt was $20,200 -- 20% higher than in 2004, when the average was $16,850.
• At private nonprofit universities, average debt was $27,650 -- 29% higher than in 2004, when the average was $21,500.
• At private for-profit universities, average debt was $33,050 -- 23% higher than in 2004, when the average was $26,850. [The Project On Student Debt, Quick Facts about Student Debt, January 2010 [8]]
U.S. Department Of Education: Student Loan Default Rate At 8.8 Percent -- The Highest It Has Been In More Than A Decade. The U.S. Department of Education announced in September that the latest national student loan cohort default rate is at "8.8 percent." This is an increase from the 7.0 percent rate from the previous fiscal year, and is the highest rate in more than a decade. The cohort default rate is defined as "the percentage of borrowers who enter repayment in a fiscal year and default by the end of the next fiscal year." From the announcement:
The U.S. Department of Education today released the official FY 2009 national student loan cohort default rate, which has risen to 8.8 percent, up from 7.0 percent in FY 2008. The cohort default rates increased for all sectors: from 6.0 percent to 7.2 percent for public institutions, from 4.0 percent to 4.6 percent for private institutions, and from 11.6 percent to 15 percent at for-profit schools.
The rates announced today represent a snapshot in time, with the FY 2009 cohort consisting of borrowers whose first loan repayments came due between Oct. 1, 2008, and Sept. 30, 2009, and who defaulted before Sept. 30, 2010. More than 3.6 million borrowers from 5,900 schools entered repayment during this window of time, and more than 320,000 defaulted. Those borrowers who defaulted after the two-year period are not counted as defaulters in this data set. [U.S. Department of Education, 9/12/11 [9], accessed 10/26/11 [10]]

Police investigating emails that prompted lockdown
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Police in Clarksville are investigating email threats that prompted the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System to go into a system-wide modified lockdown.
The Leaf-Chronicle reported the lockdown went into effect Thursday morning after the police department received two emails threatening an employee, the employee's family and unidentified schools.
Since there was no specificity of schools, the system took a cautionary approach. The modified lockdown was lifted in the afternoon.
Police spokeswoman Natalie Hall says she could not talk specifically about the connection of the school system at this time.
School system spokeswoman Elise Shelton says the lockdown did not prohibit parents from picking up their children nor were parents required to do so.

I know its a bit slow here this time of year. But i wanted to post about my new adventure. There will be one less hunter opening weekend in the mountains this fall. I will be compteting in the Chicago Marathon. Running it for charity. I will be running for the Tug McGraw foundation and Brain Cancer research.
The 26.2 miles is nothing compared to what these patients and their caregivers go through on a daily basis. It makes it a lot easier to complete my runs knowing it is going for a good cause.

4th preseason game, they will win!
FSN Detroit 1130 WDFN AM 7:30 PM Chat opens at 7:00
first game of the year i'll be at!! gonna buy a jersey tonight...deciding whether to get maxiell even though he might not see playing time this year. i don't wanna wear my ben jersey lol.
yeah get maxiel.
Make sure you get the custom jersey with "Brahma" on the back.
Tashawn...I was about to say the same thing!
Does anyone know if this game is on NBATV or NBA League Pass? I just ordered League Pass just in case, although I understand they have a kind of random hit-or-miss scheduling of Preseason Games. I hope so. I'll listen on radio if not, but I hate missing any Pistons game so much.
I don't get this game either, and after a gruelling Monday, might just pass on listening to the radio.
Detroit Free Press: Pistons Matchup: Pistons (2-1 in exhibitions) vs. Utah Jazz (1-1). Injuries: Detroit -- none. Utah -- C Andrei Kirilenko (back) doubtful, SG Derek Fisher (pelvis) doubtful. Overview: The Pistons are 2-1 in three preseason games and have looked crisp and intriguing as they focus on working with their bench, blending in C Nazr Mohammed and adding more zone defense. Their 101-89 loss came Saturday, when five Pistons hit double figures against Memphis, which played without star Pau Gasol, on the second game of a road back-to-back. A 22-6 Grizzlies run in the fourth ensured the Memphis win. The starters have played in the low 20s each night, as coach Flip Saunders has committed the exhibition month to prepping players like F Carlos Delfino, G Flip Murray and PF Jason Maxiell for bigger roles this season. Expect the same tonight. Kirilenko did not dress for the Jazz's win over Indiana on Saturday, and Fisher bruised his pelvis when he took a hard fall in the opening quarter. Both are likely out tonight. The Jazz has 10 rookies or second-year players on their training camp roster.
Some more game day stuff: Game Preview: The skinny: Utah somehow managed to sweep the Pistons last season, so there might be a smidgen more motivation than the usual preseason game to produce a win. Second-year point guard Deron Williams is off to a smoking start for Utah, averaging 20 points a game through Utah's first two preseason contests while shooting 68 percent. On the other end of the spectrum, ex-Piston Mehmet Okur is 2 for 12. Don't look for Jazz star Andrei Kirilenko, nursing a minor injury, to play in this one. What to watch: With the roster virtually set and the rotation almost as certain, the biggest intrigue left for the final five preseason games will be how seriously Jason Maxiell challenges for playing time. Through three games, he leads the team in scoring (14.3) and blocked shots. Two other things that bear watching in the preseason home opener: How Flip Murray runs the point and if Carlos Delfino can continue filling up the stat sheet in his first bona fide opportunity to be a rotation fixture Probable starters
The radio broadcast is online, via NBA.com, for anyone who wants to listen in.
Tayshaun still didn't have a good shooting game. Delfino's jumper is still very off. Chauncey had 5 assists in the first quarter which is good. The Pistons did bad on the boards, but hopefully that's because Nazr didn't do well because of Ramadhan. Sheed stayed in the paint on both sides of the court. J Max was a big force again as well. Pistons won 90 to 85. Will Blalock did a good job keeping the Pistons on top. He subbed in the 4th quarter when the Pistons were only up by 2, but he stuck with his man and scored some points too.
Game Summary: Brahma Stampeed.
wasn't this game on TV? no one saw it? well i was at the game so i'll give a report. first of all the game lasted way too long and i was dozing off...WAY too many stoppages of play and fouls called. i don't remember seeing too much zone, and there was plenty of sloppy play to go with good play. the pistons definitely gave a conscious effort of playing inside the 3-point line, and only had 6 3-point attempts not counting delfino's 5. i guess i'll just give a rundown of everyone: Tayshaun Prince - completely took the night off heh. lazy effort, Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, Lindsey Hunter - worked on getting everyone else involved. chauncey worked on getting to the line Nazr Mohammed - took advantages of opportunities and played very well offensively, but had trouble pulling down some boards and had 2-3 early turnovers before settling down. Ronald Murray - didn't take as many random shots as we saw in the 1st preseason game. has a nice crossover move and worked on getting quality shots off and driving the lane. nice to see a player with this ability and using it. as long as he concentrates on this, he'll be more helpful than hurtful. ran the mid-court trap well with lindsey and maxiell. started off the game very well with a driving layup and a steal that he returned for another. Rick Rickert - you said you weren't looking at euro leagues and such, but might wanna start... Will Blalock - ran the offense pretty well to close out the game and get the win. made a couple nice shots that were unexpected (a runner and mid-range jumper). can definitely see lindsey hunter in him defensively - quick feet, quick hands, stays on his man, and is rather pesky. with experience he'll improve. Carlos Delfino - not his best night. perhaps it was hard to look for his defense when everyone cringed every time he jacked up a shot. i think he figured that if he kept shooting, the ball would have to go in sometime. he played GREAT in transition and that's where he got his 3 baskets - he shines when he's driving and making moves. not like his other 8 shots, which were spot-up jumpers, and it is VERY obvious that this is not his game. if he can't fix it within the next couple of games he should think about not doing that at all. Jason Maxiell - i'm not going to give him extra praise because he's a favorite of mine or because i have an agenda...i'm going to give him extra praise because he's earning it. the team had a LOT of trouble grabbing and holding onto rebounds (or just getting them in general), but maxiell really stepped up and grabbed a few away from utah's taller players and just sucked them in. there were times that he couldn't keep his hands on it, or was out of position, but the whole team was having this problem as well. he was like a wrecking ball tonight - either you fouled him or he scored on you. the part you like the most, is that he goes for those monster jams, and goes all out EVERY time. he just plays hard non-stop. he had 2 put backs in the span of a minute or so, and the second one was simply phenomenal - he rose up, grabbed the ball above the rim, and then jammed it so fast in the net that it looked like fast forward. he also had 3 nice blocks, including a ben wallace-type late in the 4th quarter. he leaped way into the air and swatted the ball back to midcourt. plus he did a great job of fronting his man in the post on defense and getting in position. free throws were hit or miss...6 for 12. he's either on...or off. he's basically forcing flip to give him minutes because his presence can't be denied. he was the first big off the bench instead of dyess tonight, and he played extended minutes (the most of any player besides flip).
how was his FT shooting?
Gotta chance to see a good portion of the game tonight. A few points 1) Don't miss Ben (yet). We were not going to win another ring with Ben, I'm not saying that losing Ben will help, but that team was no longer good enough to win a ring, and honestly don't know if this one is, alot of that rides on Tayshaun taking the next step. 2) Nice to Sheed in the dang paint. 3) J-Max, man I'm pulling for this guy. He can easily give us what Corliss used to give us, that we really missed when he left. Say what you will, but we'renot/are not a very physical team; Ben and Rasheed weren't/aren't soft but they aren't bangers either. J-Max seeks out contact and tries to buly people, ya' gotta' love that. 4) I really like Will Blaylock, I believe he's a perfect fit for what we need. I don't think that he needs to go to the NBDL right away, I think he can be one of the best backup pg's in the league (after barbosa and devin harris) sooner than we think. As a former PG, I'm telling you he really knows this position, PG's are born not made and he was born to run the Point, I really like the kid. 5) Would have liked to see more from Delfino, not a good game, but not a poor game. Wouldn't be surprised to see him traded, not saying he's going anywhere, just that if he did......it wouldn't be a surprise. I can't put my finger on it but he just seems to be distant and disconnected from the rest of the team, but it could very well be my imagination.
um. the pistons could easily be in the running for a ship with the team we have now.
He said win a ring. This team will contend, but if they want to win it all every Pistons needs to play there best in the playoffs not before it.
Great report Warthog. I can't get enough of the Brahma. I'll be very disappointed if this doesn't translate into at least a few regular season minutes. He is so much fun to watch.
Nice recap Warthog. You are back on my xmas card list. ;) :D

Puppies!!!!!! Blue and Silver - Weimaraners in Missouri - Box Farms
We have owned, trained, and hunted Weimaraners for about 9 years. I'm an avid hunter and am extremely passionate about the wonderful Weimaraner. We fell in love with our first dog 10 years ago and shortly thereafter decided to share her wonderful genes. Breeding became an amazing hobby and great experience for our whole family. We keep in touch with our buyers and enjoy our updates and pictures. We are NOT a kennel or a puppy mill!!! We own 3 Weims and enjoy rasing them on a large farm with plenty to hunt! Our puppies are socialized from the second they're born. Our mamas live and have their pups inside our home. Our 3 young children are constantly in on the action doting over the pups. Our Weims are fantastic with children and hunt hard in the field! We believe it's because of great genes, early socialization, and great health. Health is central for us! My wife is a Naturopathic Doctor, and her passion for wellness is also focused on our dogs. Our dogs and pups are raised chemical free! (aside from mandatory vaccines). We use herbal wormer, natural immune builders, and only the best holistic food. We recommend vaccinating according to the Weimaraner Club of America. Many breeders give the pups unnecessary vaccines which can compromise a pups immune system. We do NOT. HighD (Heidi) is our champion Weim, and we are proud to announce this years litter. She got her Senior Hunting Title when she was just a year and a half! She is bird crazy!! This year we selected a sire that has endless amount of birds under him. He has incredible water drive and will rival any lab out there! He is a field bred Blue Wiem. We also have another field bred Weim that will be having a litter sired by the same Blue male. Please call and find out more about HighD, Annabelle and Reagan the Blue Sire of these litters!!! These are prime pups! All puppies are started on birds by 5 weeks of age... along with being introduced to water. Our puppies are raised for hunting partners, family companions, agility, show, tracking, and therapy...they truly are the versatile dog. Please contact us with any questions or information.

Annual Dragonfly Days to be Held May 14-16
WESLACO — Explore the amazing world of dragonflies and damselflies at the annual Dragonfly Days, being held May 14-16 at the Valley Nature Center and Estero Llano Grande State Park. Attendees can look forward to live music, arts and crafts and learning more about these fascinating winged creatures.
The Rio Grande Valley is known as one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America. More birds and butterflies are found here than in most parts of the country, as well as many different species of odonates, dragonflies and damselflies. Many of these species are found nowhere else in the United States, and Dragonfly Days will offer a chance to discover some of these rare insects.
This year's festival will have a special focus on families. Visitors will be able to go on a night hike trail and explore the various life in and around the water. Interpretive stations will allow you to get up close and personal with dragonflies and damselflies, including aquatic life touch tanks with aquatic insects and viewers to look under the water.
Attend a mini-talk in a classroom about odes, water quality and the wetlands, or go on a guided walk where festival leaders will be pointing out various odes. Go on a dragonfly van trip to Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge led by wildlife scientist Tom Langschied and Estero Llano Grande State Park Ranger John Yochum.
The weekend festival also includes a fish tank where you can learn to catch and release fish, kayaking in a pool, arts and crafts and live music performances by Lucas Miller.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under on Friday and $5 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under on Saturday and Sunday. A weekend pass costs $8 for adults and $4 for children. For more information visit the Valley Nature Center Web site or call (956) 969-2475 or (956) 565-3919.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — The Canisius College women's basketball team lost 102-54 at No. 19/20 Michigan State in the Breslin Center on Thursday night. The Golden Griffins fall to 1-1 on the season.
Senior Jen Morabito and sophomore Emily Weber each scored 12 points and both made four 3-pointers in the contest as Canisius made 11 3-pointers for the second consecutive game. Freshman Lauren D'Hont had 11 points while freshman Tamara Miskovic had four assists in 17 minutes off the bench.
"I wasn't happy with our energy and compete level in the first half. Michigan State is obviously a very good team but we let them do whatever they wanted and dominate the glass early in the game," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We made some adjustments and found more success in the second half. We will learn from this and continue to develop as a team."
Morabito drained a couple of 3-pointers early in the game to make it 8-6 five minutes into the contest. The Spartans then created separation with nine straight points and then broke the game open with runs of 17-4 and 17-3. Michigan State used a combination of second-chance points, 3-point shots and driving to the basket in transition to take control of the game.
Michigan State (1-1) extended the lead to 45 points early in the second half before Canisius used a 10-1 run to stop the momentum. Miskovic drove down the lane and found Weber in the corner for back-to-back 3-pointers. The Spartans went on a 16-point run later in the half and led by as many as 51 points.
Five Spartans reached double-digits, led by 19 points from Aerial Powers. Tori Jankoska had 17 points while Branndais Agee had 14 points and eight rebounds. Michigan State shot 63.8 percent from the floor and was 12-for-23 on 3-pointers. The Sprtans held a 45-21 advantage on the glass.
Canisius wraps up its trip to the state of Michigan on Saturday, when the Golden Griffins play at Oakland University. Tipoff in Rochester, Mich. is set for 8 p.m.
Notes: Canisius and Michigan State met for the first time in program history… The Griffs fell to 0-8 all-time against ranked teams and 0-5 all-time against Big Ten teams… Canisius made 11 3-pointers in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 28 and 30, 2008. Canisius has now made 11 3-pointers in three of the last four games, dating back to last season… D'Hont is the first Canisius freshman to score 10 or more points in her first two games since Micayla Drysdale in 2007-08... Canisius allowed 100 points under Zeh for the first time and gave up 100 points for the first time since a 100-91 loss to Bucknell on Nov. 27, 2002... An opponent shot better than 60 percent against the Griffs for the first time since San Francisco shot 61.1 percent on Dec. 19, 2003.

Confirmed: Breitbart called Sherrod a racist without having the full tape
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
This afternoon in a Hot Air blog post, Ed Morrissey wrote:
[Former USDA official Shirley] Sherrod and others can complain about Fox News and the editing of the tape, but two points should be remembered. First, Andrew Breitbart made it clear to me last night that this was the entirety of the speech he had in his possession. He also wants to find the whole speech and is trying to get it.
Are you kidding me?
In his post yesterday -- headlined "Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism - 2010" -- Breitbart claimed to have "video evidence of racism" on Sherrod's part. He said it showed her describing "how she racially discriminates against a white farmer," and referred to it as her "racist tale." The piece was illustrated with a literal "race card."
According to Breitbart:
In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn't do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from "one of his own kind". She refers him to a white lawyer.
It soon became evident that there was something fishy about the heavily edited video - even conservative bloggers questioned its sudden ending and wondered what the full context might reveal, while nonetheless saying that they trusted Breitbart.
Throughout the day, the story has unraveled. In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published this morning, Sherrod said that the clip had been ripped from context, leaving out "the breadth of the story about how she eventually worked with the man over a two-year period to help ward off foreclosure of his farm, and how she eventually became friends with him and his wife." Sherrod reiterated her statements on CNN's American Morning.
Later in the day, the farmer's wife called in to CNN, calling Sherrod a "friend" and praising her for having "helped us save our farm."
Meanwhile, we pointed out that Breitbart's suggestion that Sherrod was discussing actions that she recently took as an Obama administration official was flatly false.
All day, we've been asking when Breitbart was planning to release the full tapes. Now, it looks like he may never have had one. If what Morrissey says is true, Breitbart tried to destroy the life of a largely unknown Obama administration official and called her a racist, and he didn't have the full context to back it up. As Erick Erickson just tweeted, "I'm hoping there is more to the video of Shirley Sherrod, because otherwise it seems like the right just got the scalp of a penitent lady"
The sad kicker: The first sentence of Breitbart's smear of Sherrod was "Context is everything." But he never bothered to get context of Sherrod's comments. He simply didn't care. He wanted a scalp, got one, and took a curtain call.
It should go without saying, but if this is true, it really should end for all time the media's willingness to play along with Breitbart's fact-free witch-hunts.
UPDATE: In an interview with TPMmuckraker, Breitbart confirms that he doesn't have the full video:
"I don't have it," Breitbart told TPMmuckraker in an interview. Breitbart said his source sent him just the edited clips at first, but is in the process of sending the full video.
Breitbart said he'll post the full video, if he can get permission from the video production company who filmed it for a local NAACP chapter. He also maintained that he didn't edit the clip and that it was sent to him already edited.
Ok. So an anonymous source sent Breitbart these heavily edited clips, and without bothering to question whether those clips had been taken out of context, Breitbart posted them on his website and claimed that they proved that she was a racist. And now, after she has been smeared in public and forced to resign, he's looking for the full video.
But don't worry, according to Breitbart, the full video doesn't matter - it "speaks for itself," and her comments are "conveying a present tense racism in my opinion."
I repeat, the first sentence of Breitbart's first post was "Context is everything."
Behold conservative journalism.

AMES, Iowa — Fathers are different from mothers, but offer love, guidance and support in their own unique way, say family life specialists Donna Donald and Lori Hayungs. During June, they'll talk about the role of fathers in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
National studies show that an overwhelming majority of Americans agree that fathers play an important and irreplaceable role in the lives of children, Donald said. Seven out of 10 people in one study agreed that the physical absence of fathers from the home is the most significant social problem facing America.
"This month we'll talk about how fathers can become more engaged in their children's lives, how fathers interact with children in different ways than mothers and the negative results from absent fathers," Hayungs said.
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month of June and in a five-minute podcast.
Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

My experience at St. Lawrence has been highlighted by many things like my experiences playing for the university baseball team, my involvement with Omikron Delta Kappa, and my time as a QRC mentor. But few things have been as rewarding as my time spent with the chemistry department. What I did not know about St. Lawrence when I entered was the strength of the departments in the sciences. After my first semester of general chemistry with Dr. Skeels, I knew that I had my major. The dynamic and helpful faculty, have pushed me to become a better student and prepare me for whatever field I choose to enter after school
The introductory organic chemistry course was what truly sparked my interest in chemistry. After that year, my interest in synthetic chemistry turned into a full-blown research interest and career goal. This interest led me to participate in two summers of research at the State University of New York at Albany doing biologically relevant organic synthesis and biomaterials research with Dr. Melinda Larsen. The senior year experience (SYE) has been a way for me to put my interests to work in the lab, performing novel experiments with β-Thujone, one of the natural products of cedar leaf oil.
I cannot imagine another school as small as St. Lawrence that provides the opportunities, widely respected faculty, and state of the art facilities that SLU does. Throughout my time here, I have used cutting edge technology and been provided the opportunity to conduct a novel research project with the help of a faculty advisor. The small size of the department provided me the opportunity to get to know my teachers and work one on one with them whenever I needed help. This opportunity to have personal contact with faculty is something I will always be grateful for when I look back on my time at St. Lawrence.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team shutout the Quinnipiac Bobcats for the second-consecutive game on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Bobcats, 8-0, at Pitt Field. With the victory, the Spiders have now won 10-straight games, pushing their overall record to 10-3 on the season. With the loss, Quinnipiac falls to 1-5 on the year.
Freshman pitcher Zak Sterling (2-0) was terrific for the Spiders on Saturday afternoon, earning his second win of the season. Sterling tossed a career-high 7.2 shutout innings, surrendering just three hits while striking out four. Junior Jolmi Minaya pitched the final 1.1 frames, striking out one and allowing just one hit.
Senior Chris Cowell continued his stellar start to the year, homering for the second-consecutive day, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs. Classmate Bryan Conway went 2-for-2 with a two-run double and two runs scored. Sophomore Mike Small also drove in a run for the Spiders.
The 10-game winning streak for the Spiders is the longest for the team in almost a decade. During the 2002 campaign, Richmond reeled off 10-straight wins twice dating the season on their way to making a NCAA Super Regional appearance.
Richmond jumped all over the Bobcats early on Saturday afternoon, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first. With two outs, senior Jacob Mayers doubled down the right-field line to start the rally. Mayers then moved to third on a wild pitch and stood just 90 feet from home plate. Up next, Cowell hit a sharp grounder to the QU shortstop, who was forced to backhand the well-hit ball. The Bobcat shortstop was unable to glove the ball cleanly, allowing Mayers to score from third.
After a walk to senior Phil Ruzbarsky, Conway stepped to the plate and crushed a double to left field that one-hopped the fence, scoring both Cowell and Ruzbarsky. The Spiders added another run on a QU throwing error and took a 4-0 lead in to the second inning.
In the second inning, Richmond again took advantage of a Quinnipiac mishap, scoring two more runs on a costly throwing error. After two complete, the Spiders held a 6-0 advantage.
After a RBI single from Small in the third inning, the Spiders added their final run in the fourth inning. With one down, Cowell stepped to the dish for Richmond. After falling behind early in the count, Cowell battled back to run the count full. On the 3-2 offering, the senior crushed a solo homer to right-center field that clanged off the scoreboard. Cowell's team-leading eighth homer gave the Spiders its winning margin of 8-0.
With the Richmond offense once again running on all cylinders, Sterling was able to settle in nicely on the mound. Thanks to his great outing, Sterling lowered his season ERA to 2.08 and has allowed opponents to hit just .175 on the season.
The Richmond Spiders baseball team will go for the sweep of the Quinnipiac Bobcats on Sunday afternoon at Pitt Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
