________________________________________________________I do not know where anybody who lives in Texas and see's only a majority of Persons of Mexican persuasion coming across his borders and doing the minimal tasks that most Texans wouldn't do- can comment on Canada by saying Canada Hates Americans, a country who supplies to the USA--Our Doctors who are drawn to the USA for Large Wages which leaves us scrambling to find a doctor who are now in short supply here--Our nurses who flock to your country to help your people and draw down your grossly inflated wages-- Our lumber industry who supplies a better part of your building materials lumber-drywall-fixtures both electrical and plumbing to rebuild your housing etc after the huricanes--And our construction crews who flocked to Florida a while back to help you rebuild and then left us in the lurch for crews to do our own work here while helping you folk-- Our oil supplies to your northern part of the USA and then we as folks of eastern Canada have to buy our oil from Venuzala because you cry, we supply-- Our Beef that goes to the USA because you can't supply your whole nation as we supply our country and yours--Our fishing industry that sends to you the best white fish in the world and then leaves us none, because you cry,we supply. I could keep going on for sometime but I was not brought up to criticise people that I do not have a educated knowledge of.I myself have travelled a good part of the USA and still Ride to a lot of the Bike Meets and to this day I have not found a American who would stand in front of me and say that Canadians Hate the USA and that I and other Canadians should be thrown out of The USA. In fact most of the Americans that I have met are courtious and respectfull of Canada and have a knowledge of my country and in some cases thank me and the country for some of the things we do for you and some of the things we do together as neighbouring countrie's. Look to your big citie's in Texas and find out how many Canadians are in your Livestock business-- your oil and gas business-- your Computer industry etc and then ask the people they work for-- Hey pardner what kind of people are these Canadians? My guess is that you will receive fairly glowing reports that these people fit quite nicely into your way of life and work. I grew up in Calgary in The Cattle and Oil industry areas and still have a great number of Canadian friends who have legally imigrated to the USA are now in your State of Texas, probably doing jobs Americans didn't want or didn't have the experience to get the job. Believe it or not we Canadians do go to school--we don't live in igloos-- the indians are now on the reservations as yours are--we have electric lights--running water and indoor plumbing and the horseless carriage is taking over as yours are.If BB B/B could remove his dark coloured sunglasses and look beyond his nose and try to gather a small bit of knowledge of this country he just might have a better appreciation and respect for Canadians as we here have for America and it's citizens._________________________________________________________Apis629 says in his comment;I realise that my expertise in such a subject is lemited but, wasn't america founded as a land of the free. Oh, and, if Canada and Mexico hated us so much why would thier people try so hard to get into the contry. Besides, the jobs that are being filled (laborer for example) are not ones which most americans would prefer or concider. Granted, that's just my take on the subject._________________Nathan G. __________________________________________________________In this comment it is stated that both Canadians and Mexicans are trying so hard to get into your country. Can you show me where it is stated that there is a flood of Canadians crawling under the fences, swiming across rivers and lakes, running the desert hills and country etc to sneak into the USA verus the quantity of people who run the Mexican/USA border. I give you credit, you tempered your comment by saying the border runners will fill the menial task that other folks feel is beneath them, you just didn't qualify your statement as to which country's people were taking the menial jobs.In conclusion--I hate nobody, neither Americans, Mexicans or Canadians until such a time as I have had direct dealings with them, and then I draw my own conclusions as to which way I will feel or deal with them, a lesson I learned from a very wise old man.To the two gentlemen I have taken exception above to their posts, please accept my appology if what I have written is wrong. Just my opinions.To the monitor of this thread-- If you find this offensive please delete as no offense is intended, just a opinion.Jack
I won't argue Ted... We'll both just ADMIT you are wrong and get about our lives :lol:

Following a three-week layoff from competition, the Canisius College swimming and diving teams will compete in the MAAC Championships on Thursday, Feb. 13 through Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Burt Flickinger Center on the campus of Erie Community College.
The Griffs, who are seeking their first conference title in program history, have a number of highly seeded swimmers in multiple events. The men are looking to improve on a third place finish last year, with the women looking to place higher than last season's program-best fourth place finish.
"The preparation has been really good," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. Everyone has been very focused, real solid in everything that they've been doing, so I'm pretty pleased with where we're at right now."
The men will be led by sophomore Spencer Bray, who will carry a heavy workload for the Griffs – qualifying in the 200, 500, 1000 and 1650-yard freestyles as well as the 200-yard backstroke. Bray is seeded no lower than ninth in any of the five events.
"Last year I went in and I was really nervous," Bray said. "This year I'm coming in with more confidence, so hopefully with that confidence boost I can help the team to more points on the board and hopefully a MAAC Championship."
In addition to Bray, the Griffs will look to get points from freshman Wyatt Sintay. Swimming in the 100 and 200-yard breaststrokes and 200 and 400-yard IMs, Sintay is seeded in the top-seven of three different events.
"I'm really expecting a lot from myself to go out and compete," Sintay said. "I'm very excited to go out and race people that I don't really know and see what everyone else can do as well."
Besides Bray and Sintay, the Griffs have seven other swimmers seeded in the top-10 of their respective events. Freshman Matt Tanchick is seeded third in the 200-yard IM and seventh in the 200-yard butterfly, while junior Nick Sereday holds the eighth position in the 50-yard freestyle.
Four of the top-10 seeds in the 1000-yard freestyle belong to Canisius, behind Bray at second is senior Corey Petrie (eighth), junior Sean Wurster (ninth) and junior Sam Hansen (10th). Hansen also holds the nine seed in the 1650-yard freestyle. In addition, freshman Jerry Daigler earned the 10 seed in the 200-yard backstroke.
The Canisius men will also feature the largest cast of divers of any school in the conference, with six divers – including junior Eddie Quarantillo who earned MAAC Diver of the Week on four occasions this year – competing on both boards.
The heaviest load on the women's side will be sophomore Alex Doody, who qualified in seven different events. Doody can compete in the 200 and 400-yard IMs, 200, 500 and 1000-yard freestyles, and 100 and 200-yard breaststrokes.
In addition to Doody, the women have a number of highly seeded swimmers as well, with freshman Hannah Graesser leading the way, being seeded in the top-nine in the 50 and 100-yard freestyles and 200-yard IM. Graesser also qualified in the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke. Senior Kelli Graber will also be a the front of the pack in the sprint freestyles with Graesser, coming into the 50-yard freestyle seeded eighth.
Sophomore Clare Battglia will be carrying high expectations for Canisius as well, competing in the 100 and 200-yard backstrokes and 200-yard IM for the Griffs this year
"The excitement has really grown over the past couple weeks," Battaglia said. "I think at first it seemed so far away, but now it's here and everyone is just ready and excited to race, which I think is the best place that we could be,"
Junior Marissa Oakey is the Griffs top-qualifier in the distance freestyle events, swimming the 200, 500, 1000, and 1650, being seeded no lower than 12th in any event.
Sophomore Alicia Wheeler is also a top-10 qualifier for Canisius, seeded in both butterflys and freshman Marissa Watroba earned a top-10 spot in both breaststrokes. Senior Anna Schena rounds out the Griffs in the top-10 of preliminary seeding with the sixth spot in the 200-yard butterfly.
"Each year our team has done so well and everyone has dropped so much time," Schena said. So I think the important thing is to go in and know that you're going to do that well, and when you go in with that confidence we just make it happen."
Action is scheduled to get underway at 10 a.m. on Thursday.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. --- Three North Carolina doubles pairs and two Tar Heel singles players are still alive in main draw play after day one of the Freeman Memorial Championships at UNLV's Fertitta Tennis Complex. Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Tessa Lyons each advanced to the singles quarterfinals and the teammates will face each other Saturday morning for a spot in the semifinals.
Lyons opened singles play with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over UNLV's Nives Pavlovic. The Wallingford, Pa., junior then topped Oregon's Patricia Skowronski in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, to move into Saturday's quarterfinals. Suarez-Malaguti received a first-round bye as a top-4 seed and easily handled USC's Kaitlyn Christian, 6-2, 6-0.
Zoe De Bruycker, Lauren McHale, Whitney Kay and Kate Vialle were also opening round winners before falling in the round of 16. McHale topped former NCAA singles runner-up Stacey Tan, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1, before losing to third-seeded Danielle Lao of USC. Vialle scored a 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 win over No. 66 Brianna Morgan of Florida in her first career match before falling to No. 4 seed Sabrina Santamaria of USC in straight sets.
Tar Heels will account for three of the eight teams in the doubles quarterfinals, as all three pairs advanced with 8-6 victories. Second-seeded Kay and Ashley Dai topped UCLA's Kyle McPhillips and Chanelle Van Nguyen. Lyons and McHale defeated Oregon's Patricia Skowronski and Nicole Long while De Bruycker and Suarez-Malaguti beat Stanford's Tan and Ellen Tsay.

And this delusional shithead is supposed to be determining what is best for us?!?!!
I wouldn't trust him to shine my cowshit covered boots!
He is such a goofball it is hard not to like him!
Actually I kind of agree with Joe, why use an AR that sends out one .22 bullet per trigger pull, when I can send out 9 lead balls per pull of a shotgun trigger :D
But he's still an idiot
who gives a shit what he is saying! hes goung to say what obama want him to say. or am i the only dumbass that believes this !>???????????
Your the only dumbass :lol: sorry had to say it
I think almost everyone on here know what an idiot Joe is, and I think Joe believes in everything Big O does too, he's just to dumb to figure out how to get his agenda across
I really don't have a problem with a 12 gauge for home defense.....as long as it's a Saiga with a 20 round drum. :) But seriously, I remember watching "Crazy Uncle Joe" testifying during the 1994 assault weapon ban hearing. He kept referring to Charlton Heston as "MOSES". He seemed like kind of an oddball back then, but now that he is in the spotlight more, he just can't keep both ores in the water. If he doesn't slow down, he may get the president back to using drugs again! Joe has gone from disgusting to amusing.
this youtube video was posted here the other day????

4000+ posts later I guess I should post my build. It's not all that much, but whenever I have an extra dollar I put it straight into my car. I'm only happy when I spend money on the car, so I try to spend it right. A lot of reading and pics, so if you don't like either, scroll to the bottom for newest pics and mods.
I bought it in June of 2010.
It's a 2001 Jetta 1.8T
5 Speed
Drove it from Boston to Atlantic City on a tank of gas. My all time record:
Went to school. Didn't have much time to do anything, but I took a sh*tload of pics because I was happy of my "awesome new car."
Was working one night and my downpipe decided to take a sh*t on me. Drove in limp mode all weekend then got a custom bent 2.5" turbo back exhaust.
High flow cat.
Magnaflow muffler.
Stainless tip he had lying around the shop. Filled the valance surprisingly well.
Fall came and the rubber on my LB's looked as if I drove through a construction zone.
Got a wax and wash in before Winter.
Then the rubber took a dump. Couldn't afford new tires so I found 15" OEM wheels with brand new Blizzaks for $300 on craigslist. I couldn't pass it up.
Then I mounted them.
Drove them through the winter. Filled them every 3 days.
ENTER Spring 2011:
(this is where I started to actually do work)
Trashy MKIII wheels came off. I refinished my LB's and got some Eagle GT's (225/45/17). I love them. First all season tire I've had and I hate that they stopped producing them.
Custom center caps are finally growing on me, but they're still meh.
Got a roof rack off of asneakypanda while I was at it. Modified the maple rack he gave me with it. Drilled the bars out to accept my custom mounts for my fairing. Cut the hardware, drilled it out, and mounted my Thule 555 I got on ebay for $50.
Stickerbombed it.
Custom mounts. Dumped the wood to refinish it.
More stickers.
My car runs best at 90º angles.
Got tired of my grey stained interior. Went to Jo-Anne's and bought 5 yards of fabric. (WAY TOO MUCH!)
Finished product:
Still haven't done the headliner. I'm going to be doing navy camo/black combo. The plastic pieces are all going to be black, as well as the sunroof visor, sunroof motor cover (?), and the trim around the doors.
Got an OEM hood bra for $10. BNIB.
Wheels got new Eagle GT's and a stage 2 refresh + new front valance. (old one was in pieces from the previous owner)
Used my roofrack.
Sanded and painted my grilled black:
Streetlines showed up:
Spent 3 months in the box ready to go and then finally got them on last week:
Fixed my hood latch and installed my ECS XAS:
2001 Jetta 1.8T
All up to date on maintenance.
Stage 2 refresh
FK Streetlines
Interior rewrap
Refinished Longbeaches + custom centercaps.
Goodyear Eagle GT 225/45/17 tires
OEM racks
Thule 555 fairing
2.5" TBE + unresonated + high flow cat + magnaflow muffler.
2002+ Front and rear valances.
Amber repeaters.
I really want to mess with air ride, or at least more expensive coils.
Spacers (can't go any lower without them)
Front and rear sway bars.
Eurojet FMIC
Bigger DP
Bora R goodies
Secret wheels.
Forge Splitter
Starting a Retrofit project soon.
Other stuff.
Well that's that.

National Park
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park
The Lewis Overthrust of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park provides scientists with dynamics of geologic processes that are going on today in other parts of the world, such as the Andes and the Himalaya Mountains. Because of the high degree of preservation of the original rock characteristics, the recent glacial sculpturing of the rocks, and the access by roads and trails, this major geologic structure in Waterton-Glacier is available for study by scientists from around the world.
The Lewis Overthrust began 170 million years ago, when a collision of the Earth's crustal plates elevated numerous mountain chains and formed the ancestral Rocky Mountains. Ever-increasing stresses near the end of this great event shoved a huge rock wedge, several miles thick and several hundred miles wide, eastward more than 50 miles. Large masses of relatively stronger rocks were shoved over softer and more easily deformed rocks. Erosion stripped away the upper part of the original rock wedge and exposed the rocks and structures visible in the park today. Rarely have rocks of such ancient age been thrust over rocks that are so much younger. The overlying Precambrian (Proterozoic) rocks are over 1,400 million years older than the underlying Cretaceous age rocks. Thus, the Lewis Overthrust is significant as a structural feature, for the extent of lateral displacement (up to 80 kilometers), and because it has functioned to expose ancient sediments possessing an unparalleled degree of preservation.
Of particular scenic and geologic note is Chief Mountain, a spectacular monolith towering above the prairie along the eastern margin of Waterton-Glacier. Chief Mountain is an erosionally isolated remnant of the eastern edge of the upper plate of the Lewis Overthrust—a feature known as a klippa ranking with the Matterhorn as an example of this structural and erosional phenomenon.
Most of the rocks exposed in the park are sedimentary rocks of the Belt Series, of Mesoproterozoic age, which were deposited from around 1,600 to 800 million years ago. Rocks of that age in other parts of the world have been greatly altered by mountain building processes and no longer exhibit their original characteristics. These virtually unaltered Proterozoic rocks of Waterton-Glacier are unique in that they have preserved the subtle features of sedimentation such as milimetric lamination, ripple marks, mud cracks, salt-crystal casts, raindrop impressions, oolites, six species of fossil algae, mudchip breccias, and many other bedding characteristics.

These Proterozoic sedimentary rocks, while outcropping over an area extending from southern Montana to southern British Columbia, are most impressively exposed in Waterton-Glacier. Due to the extreme relief and unexcelled exposures, over 2,100 meters of stratigraphic thickness is exposed to scientific examination. These features plus their chemical characteristics make the Proterozoic sediments of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park unique for studying the physical and chemical conditions that existed on the Earth over a billion years ago. Several of the sedimentary rock layers described above, contain fossils called stromatolites. They were colonial organisms of blue-green algae that lived in warm shallow seas marginal to ancient lands. Six species representing three genera of stromatolites are preserved in the ancient sediments of the park.Close-up of PreCambrian stromatolites in Siyeh Formation, Going to the Sun Highway. Glacier National Park.
The Appekunny Formation contains bedding structures, which have being classified as the remains of the possibly oldest metazoan on Earth. Pushing the limits of the origin of the metazoans one billion years back.
The glaciers in Glacier National Park today are all geologically new having formed in the last few thousand years. Presently, all the glaciers in the park are shrinking. More snow melts each summer than accumulates each winter. As the climate changed over the last two million years, glaciers formed and melted away several times. During the Great Ice Age, or Pleistocene, the Park's major valleys were filled with glacial ice over a mile in thickness, carving the outstanding glacial topography seen today. Textbook examples of glacially carved landforms are on display: the park is filled with horns, cirques, arêtes, hanging valleys, and moraines.

A wide variety of landslide types exist in Waterton-Glacier, ranging from slow-moving slumps in glacial till to potentially catastrophic, high-speed sturzstroms (rock avalanches). Hazardous landslides in the parks include rockfalls, rockfall avalanches, debris flows, and snow avalanches. Several dozen historical incidents of rockfalls along Going-to-the-Sun Road, US Highway 2, and the Many Glacier Road have produced injuries and fatalities. Both Park visitors and employees have been injured by rockfalls. Rockfalls in the Park are triggered by freeze-thaw activity and precipitation.Blocky frost heaved boulders of Shepard Formation. Boulder Pass area. Glacier National Park.
Rockfall avalanches (sturzstrom) have occurred in several locations along the Lewis Overthrust Fault during the 20th Century; fortunately, no injuries have yet been recorded from these high-speed landslides, but their occurrence has caused temporary road and trail closures. Rockfall avalanches have also impounded two potentially hazardous landslide-dammed lakes (in 1910 and 1946) in the Otatso Creek drainage in the northeastern corner of the park. Debris flows in Glacier National Park are widespread, with literally thousands of debris flow deposits distributed throughout the park.Disrupted ground, tilt trees and pressure ridge formed near the margins of the Kirkwood earthflow. Man for scale.
Debris flows produce frequent threats to visitors and Park employees along Going-to-the-Sun Road. During the evening of 28 July 1998, a strong frontal storm brought drenching rains to Waterton-Glacier, and numerous debris flows were triggered throughout the Park. Three flows crossed Sun Road, trapping cars between the flows and exposing their occupants to the possibility of further flows. National Park Service personnel quickly rescued the trapped vehicle occupants, but it took over 24 hours for the debris flow deposits (in excessive of 20-40 tons of sediment per deposit) to be cleared from the road, thus temporarily shutting down Going-to-the-Sun Road during the height of the tourist season.

Plugged holes are good BUT remember to have screening stapled on the inside to prevent the holes from being used as an entrance.
I like Kris^s idea with the vent box and may try it on a couple of hives next year but I'm not sure that I want to introduce another item that I have to remove whenever I decide to get into my bees. I may just make a deeper top cover with the vents and lower support blocks incorporated into it and replace it with a regular top cover come wintertime.
It seemed like they would use it like a deck almost. Quite interesting to go out in the evening and see the whole top of the inner cover covered with bees. Never did I have them beard down the side, they always stayed under the cover.

I am looking to upgrade my lathe with a chuck...
I don't want to spend too much (less than $100), but I am sick of trying to drill dead center with a drill press.
I have found the following (drive side) chucks:
6" 4 jaw (independent adjustment) for $30
3" 3 jaw (scroll/self-centering) for $55
2" 3 jaw (scroll/self-centering) for $47
With the 6' 4 jaw, I am worried about the independent adjustment... I have never used an non-self-centering chuck.
If I find center on a blank, turn it down, and take it off of the lathe only moving 1 or 2 jaws, will I be able to get it back on the chuck close enough to center?
For the 3 jaw chucks, I usually work with 3x3 or 4x4 blanks... they are both reversible jaws... will I be able to expand the 2" out to 3" if I reverse the jaws? For the 3"... can I reverse the jaws and get out to 4"?
I'm not so worried about using them for square pieces; I have used this technique before:
It will work to get a rough cut, and provide a round portion to grab onto securely.
What would you guys/gals suggest?
Any other suggestions on chucks for 3/4 x 16 TPI are welcome.
I would love if it, if one of you knows of a 4 jaw scroll chuck (with reversible square jaws) for under $80.
I am having a hard time finding a drill bit chuck that fits my lathe...
it has a threaded hole for the "live center" (3/4 x 16 tpi)...
All of the ones I find are the standard no thread (tapers) like the live center and chuck below:
Anyone know of a way around this or where I can get the proper one?

Media should opt out of forwarding Lieberman's dubious public option claims
Media outlets continue to uncritically report Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-CT) statement that he will oppose cloture for the Senate health care reform bill because he believes the opt-out public option provision Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said will be included in the bill would increase the national debt and burden the taxpayers. However, while Reid's bill has not yet been released, every proposed bill with a public option thus far has required that those who enroll in the plan cover its costs through premiums, rather than have the plans be paid for through federal revenues.
More media outlets run with Lieberman's baseless claims
From an October 28 New York Times article [1]:
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said he would vote to start debate and then join Republicans to fight the public option, which he said would become "another entitlement program that will end up increasing the national debt."
From an October 28 Wall Street Journal article [2]:
Mr. Lieberman says he fears the public option won't be self-sustaining. "I think that a lot of people may think that the public option is free. It's not," Mr. Lieberman said. "It's going to cost the taxpayers and people that have health insurance now, and if it doesn't, it's going to add terribly to our national debt."
Bills already written with public option require its costs to be covered by premiums
House, Senate Health Committee bills require premiums to cover costs of public plan. Although the Senate has not released the text of its compromise bill, both the House tri-committee bill and the Senate HELP Committee's bill require their public options to charge premiums sufficient to cover administrative costs as well as the cost of enrollees' benefits.
From the America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, as introduced [3] in the U.S. House of Representatives:
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF PREMIUMS. --
(1) IN GENERAL. -- The Secretary shall establish geographically-adjusted premium rates for the public health insurance option in a manner --
(A) that complies with the premium rules established by the Commissioner under section 113 for Exchange-participating health benefit plans; and
(B) at a level sufficient to fully finance the costs of --
(i) health benefits provided by the public health insurance option; and
(ii) administrative costs related to operating the public health insurance option.
From the Affordable Health Choices Act as passed [4] by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee:
''(A) PREMIUMS SUFFICIENT TO COVER COSTS. -- The Secretary shall set premium rates in an amount sufficient to cover expected costs (including claims and administrative costs) using methods in general use by qualified health plans.
Bills' tax revenues are used to cover expansion of coverage, with or without public option
Senate Finance bill with no public option requires tax on high-cost plans to cover expansion of Medicaid and subsidies for lower- and middle-income Americans purchasing insurance. The revenues from the excise tax and penalty payments, along with the savings from Medicare, would pay for the expansion of the Medicaid program and the subsidies to help certain lower- and middle-income Americans purchase private insurance through the exchanges. From the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) analysis [5] of the Senate Finance Committee bill, which does not include a public option:
According to CBO and JCT's assessment, enacting the Chairman's mark, as amended, would result in a net reduction in federal budget deficits of $81 billion over the 2010-2019 period (see Table 1). The estimate includes a projected net cost of $518 billion over 10 years for the proposed expansions in insurance coverage. That net cost itself reflects a gross total of $829 billion in credits and subsidies provided through the exchanges, increased net outlays for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and tax credits for small employers; those costs are partly offset by $201 billion in revenues from the excise tax on high-premium insurance plans and $110 billion in net savings from other sources. The net cost of the coverage expansions would be more than offset by the combination of other spending changes that CBO estimates would save $404 billion over the 10 years and other provisions that JCT and CBO estimate would increase federal revenues by $196 billion over the same period. In subsequent years, the collective effect of those provisions would probably be continued reductions in federal budget deficits. Those estimates are all subject to substantial uncertainty.
On a preliminary basis, CBO and JCT estimate that the proposal's specifications affecting health insurance coverage would result in a net increase in federal deficits of $518 billion over fiscal years 2010 through 2019. That estimate primarily reflects $345 billion in additional federal outlays for Medicaid and CHIP and $461 billion in federal subsidies that would be provided to purchase coverage through the new insurance exchanges and related spending. The other main element of the coverage provisions that would increase federal deficits is the tax credit for small employers who offer health insurance, which is estimated to reduce revenues by $23 billion over 10 years. Those costs would be partly offset by receipts or savings, totaling $311 billion over the 10-year budget window, from four sources: net revenues from the excise tax on high premium insurance plans, totaling $201 billion; penalty payments by uninsured individuals, which would amount to $4 billion; penalty payments by employers whose workers received subsidies via the exchanges, which would total $23 billion; and other budgetary effects, mostly on tax revenues, associated with the expansion of federally subsidized insurance, which would reduce deficits by $83 billion.
House tri-committee bill requires tax on high-income Americans to cover expansion of Medicaid and subsidies for lower- and middle-income Americans purchasing insurance. CBO's July 17 cost estimate [6] of the House bill indicates that expanding Medicaid and providing subsidies for some families to purchase insurance through the exchanges would cost roughly $1.2 trillion. This cost is offset, in part, by revenues from a surtax on high-income Americans as well as savings from Medicare and other federal health programs. Congress Daily reported [7] that House leaders "released CBO estimates for liberals' preferred version of the public option that show $85 billion more in savings than for the version the Blue Dogs prefer."
CBO score of Senate HELP bill shows bulk of cost is for subsidies for lower- and middle-income Americans purchasing insurance. CBO's July 2 analysis [8] of the Senate HELP Committee's bill, which does include a public option, shows that the subsidies to help certain low- and middle-income Americans purchase insurance through the exchange would cost around $723 billion. CBO also found that the public option "did not have a substantial effect on the cost" projections for the bill.
Numerous media outlets reported Lieberman's claims
In October 27 [9] articles, the Associated Press [10], Politico [11], CNN.com [12], and NBC News' FirstRead blog [13] all uncritically reported Lieberman's stated rationale for saying he would join a filibuster of the Senate health care bill if it included an opt-out public option. By contrast, in an October 27 post [14] to CBS News' Political Hotsheet blog, Stephanie Cordon wrote: "Lieberman has said he opposes a public option because of the potential burden it could place on taxpayers. However, Democrats have crafted a public option that would be financed by premiums rather than federal funds."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|good luck! Looking forward to hearing about your experiences. I'm currently signed up to try both IPO and clicker training classes at the local humane society.
Advice on Training Methods
Hey everyone!
So I am looking at defiantly getting a puppy in the second half of the year. I have just been approved by a breeder for an upcoming litter.
I am getting a Working Line DDR Shepherd. I did A LOT of research on this decision before I made it and went through the application and screening process for this breeder I am going through right now. I have a couple others pending, since I am trying to see if I can get a pup with the perfect temperament for me.
I understand Working Line GSDs require a lot more exercise and vigorous training than other GSD lines. I have looked at Schutzhund/IPO training, but there are no clubs anywhere in my area. I live in northern Michigan. There are only one or two basic obedience schools within my vicinity, but I am not sure these are what I am looking for when it comes to training my potential GSD.
I have trained many dogs, but since making this decision I know that having a Working Line GSD will far outpace my personal skills and seeking the help of a professional will be the best course of action.
Mostly I want some advice, maybe someone to help me network. Maybe you know trainers closer to me (I can drive around 2 hours max) that are experienced with working breeds.
Also, what are your opinions on starting the puppy with clicker training? Your opinions on E-Collars? Any other advice you can give me will be appreciated.
Again, I have been doing hardcore research, talking and networking with breeders and owners of Working Line GSDs, so this isn't a light decision. I am only seeking a companion dog, with the potential for working activities. The breeders I am working with are fully aware that I seek a companion and are placing me with breedings that are going to best match that. I have joined every GSD group on Facebook for Michigan, but I hesitate to get anyone's opinions on training from Facebook, because...well I can get anyone on there and I would rather get some advice and guidance from people who know what I am getting into.
Below are the links to the only training schools I could locate nearest to me (I live in Houghton Lake, MI). Let me know what you think of either of them?

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Yehudi, Nov 29, 2010.
For you history buffs going through Tudor withdrawal.
Good clean fun!
I'm so looking forward to both The Borgias and Game of Thrones in 2011. I haven't really picked up any new series this year, although I'm going to give Boardwalk Empire a shot.
Wheee! So glad someone else brought up Game of Thrones! ASOIAF is probably my favorite fanatasy series and I'm very happy HBO picked it up. I shudder to think of a sanitized Disney-style version.
The new trailers for it look great, as do the on-set pictures. Crap captioning aside, of course. Tyrion's 'marauding ways'...give me a break.
As an added bonus, I've liked Nikolaj Coster-Waldau since I saw him in Enigma ages ago and think he makes a very believable Jaime Lannister.
The trailer for The Borgias looks amazing.
But- Game of Thrones- BIG Squeeeee- Sean Bean!11!!11
and Jennifer Ehle - heroine most awesome!
eta- aw darn, further research says that Jennifer's been replaced.
This series is hit before it have been aired.
I just here the protests coming from the Catholic Church. You know the Church does not like it when its popes are protrayed this way.
RJBlue.. I"m a huge Sean Bean fan too. I watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians to see the few scenes he was in.
I was more excited about Game of Thrones (and I'm still super excited because I've read every single book) at first, but I'm getting really excited about this show as well. I'm glad that a lot of high quality cable series are hitting the airwaves. After Six Feet Under went off the air, I was really sad, but we've gotten a ton of great cable drama series and I'm very thankful for that.
Well- the Catholic websites don't really whitewash him. There seems plenty, in that small synopsis of his life, to write quite a lurid miniseries without having to veer even as far from the historical record as The Tudors did.
I'm waiting for someone to do a miniseries about Eleanor of Aquitaine.
I can't wait - do we have a start date yet?
THAT would be amazing to see.
I'm so excited for this all. I have indeed been in withdrawal.
Series begins April 3. Another promo
Borgia wasn't the only scandalous pope. John XII was so dissolute that his reign was called a "pornocracy" and the two Medici popes who came after Borgia were pretty unsavoury as well. And I'm sure there were others who kept mistresses and put out hits on their political rivals and the like.
Yay more scandalous historical drama shows!
Looks great. I love Jeremy Irons(especially the voice )
I had to stop watching The Tudors -- it was just too cringe-worthy -- but I think the story of the Borgias has a lot of potential. Plus it has Jeremy Irons. Of course being a cable peasant means I'll have to wait that much longer to see it ... but I can be patient when I have to be.
Excited about Game of Thrones too, I loved those books.
Speaking of fantasy series, anyone else wish they'd do a mini-series of The Fionavar Tapestry?
Another one with Lucretia and someone posing for the Birth of Venus
Not Borgias news but another medieval series: Camelot (Michael Hirst is one of the producers)
Eva Green is Morgana, Jamie Campbell Bower is Arthur, Joseph Fiennes as Merlin, and the wonderful James Purefoy as King Lot.
Interesting, considering that Birth of Venus was painted when Lucrezia was about five years old.

text: I'm going to take this opportunity to pay homage to the men who are doing the winning right now and will be the 2 pillars of our fate this year. 1) Sheed again! This is how we all should want him to play. Wouldn't you think against Shaq and Amare, it would make sense for him to "spread the floor" with 3-pointers? NO, because he is so brilliant in the post that we are best when he commits to it. I can relate to Sheed myself, cause I am a big man who would rather be lazy and shoot 3's all day, but I'm not getting paid... in fact I am actually paying monthly for that privilage. Anyways, Sheed gets MVP by me. 2) Chauncey. +39 in 30 minutes??!!?? Seriously? That has to be the best of the year on our team. When y'all are analyzing Chauncey's defense, make sure you take into account the realities that no guards can ever post him up, that when he is caught guarding a forward, he holds his ground, and that he hardly ever turns the ball over, which means that the other team doesn't get easy baskets on the break. When you take those things into account, it makes sense that he is statistically one of our best defenders (tied for 2nd with Sheed and Amir behind Afflalo). This is a huge reason why he has THE best +/- per minute in the NBA and just overtook Paul Pierce for the best overall cumulative +/- as well. If you ever recommended the Joe D not resign him, hit yourself over the head with your keyboard.

FF Murphy served as a judge along with representatives from the Lakeland Police Department, Veteran's Affairs, and the artist who will bring the rendering to life. The submissions were created by Polk County School's students and the judging of the submission was arranged by City Commissioner Don Selvage, who is chairing the effort to have the park dedicated in honor of Lakeland's heroes.
"As a collective group, we analyzed each miniature sculpture the young artist composed. Each of us had different mindsets on what we liked, but a common theme throughout was us wanting to select a piece that would embody police, fire, and military in the sculpture and not just one group. We narrowed the field down to six and chose a winner from there. The winning sculpture is going to be three individual sheets of steel standing vertical in line with one another. One piece of steel has a child, the next a couple embracing, and lastly an adult service person. The pieces of steel will be cut and positioned so you can see the child and couple through the silhouette of the service person. It is a very interesting three dimensional piece that shows respect for all facets of honorable service." explained Firefighter Murphy in reference to how the selection was made.
Lakeland Fire Department representatives plan to be involved throughout the entire planning process to provide input from a firefighter's perspective.

There is increasing evidence of potential serious ecological problems caused by construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir which is the largest dam in the world. Over 1.4 million people have already been displaced by its construction and it now appears an additional 4 million will have to be moved. According to experts, there is serious "ecological deterioration caused by irrational developments" which has resulted in the shores of the reservoir collapsing in 91 places with a total of 36 kilometers caving in. The presence of people only adds to environmental problems created by construction of the dam.
Prior to building the Three Gorges Dam, many environmental experts warned of potential dangers but the Chinese government was determined to have a massive dam. The results are evident in landslides and damage to the local ecology of the area around the dam.

If you are in the middle of contemplating a life transition, you may be finding it difficult to find your way in the midst of confusing thoughts and feelings. By exploring the "no" feelings in your life, you can see what important things are out of sync… And then look at what feels like a "yes", to recognize what is working and build on it.
If there are more things shouting "no" than there are things affirming, "yes," then it's time to daydream a little about what would make you feel more "yes" in your life, and give yourself permission to make a little more room for things that make your cells sing.
Positive thinking can improve life, but until we acknowledge what isn't working, we can't easily identify what will work given the right attention. Our positive intentions must be backed by a real awareness of what we are truly getting out of our current manifestation. By knowing what you don't want, you can then shift your attention toward what you do want.
I have found that looking at life from the following perspectives has helped myself and others to identify what is and isn't working. After answering the following questions, you can re-frame your vision toward positive life changes and the sort of powerful focus that creates exciting manifestation. Looking at the well-being of your body, finances, self-esteem, and creative expression will help identify what is and isn't in alignment for you and will empower you to make more affirmative choices in your time of transition.
Where is "no" popping up in your life?
What is your body telling you?
- I generally don't "feel good" doing what I am doing.
- My body suffers under the current paradigm: it makes me physically ill, or degrades my quality of life through a physical manifestation of pain and/or stress.
- I feel like it takes all of my energy to be positive and focus on the good around me.
- My energy is depleted from segmenting myself off into the specialized needs that are asked of me each day, yet do not fulfill me.
- I have greater cravings for things that sate and soothe my body, like sweets, comfort foods, alcohol, or drugs.
What do your finances say?
- My finances are showing a similar state of debt to my physical and emotional well-being.
- I feel enslaved by my circumstances due to a need to improve my financial security, yet I don't seem able to make any progress however much I try.
- I am able to easily see the things that block my financial growth, but find it difficult to see opportunities, or to find the time or energy to explore new ideas that would help me move forward.
How do you feel about yourself?
- There is not enough room in my current paradigm to fully be myself.
- I do not feel valued.
- I feel threatened or unsafe in expressing myself fully.
- I don't feel like I can put the appropriate percentage of my focus on things that matter to me personally or creatively.
What is your creative world experiencing?
- I don't feel like my ideas matter.
- I can't express myself creatively without feeling as if others are angry with me for taking my energy away from them.
- There is no time for me to be creative.
- I am afraid to take risks, because I might "get in trouble" for failing.
The "yes" feelings pave the road to positive thinking and positive changes…
The body's way of communicating its support:
- I feel good when I am creating things that showcase my unique talents.
- I like getting rest, eating well, and having enough time to follow a schedule that makes sense to my body and its needs.
- When I focus on things that make me feel good, I find that the positive emotions that result create more energy for me to focus on things that matter to me.
- I am living in a fully-embodied way that makes use of all my strengths and allows me to step into the right environments where I feel safe and supported in my talents.
- I have stronger cravings for things that make my body feel nourished and only eat until full. I find it easy to enjoy special treats in moderation.
How do finances look from a yes state of being?
- My finances feel like they are in a state of healthy flow and continue to grow from a strong foundation of physical and emotional well-being.
- My pursuit of financial success supports my goals and is another factor spurring my creativity in many areas of my life.
- I am able to see financial opportunities and I find it easy to collaborate with others who can help me stay on track with my financial aims.
What is it like to live from an aligned sense of self?
- My current life situation is an avenue through which I am able to fully explore who I am.
- I support myself, and this gives others permission to be true to themselves. I also have more energy to give more direct assistance to those who can benefit from my help.
- I see my value, and attract people into my life who also recognize my value.
- I feel safe expressing myself because I know my own worth and surround myself by people who appreciate what I have to say.
- Through the ups and downs of life, I ultimately feel as if I have sovereignty over my affairs and can mostly direct where I put my energy.
Is your creative self shouting "yes"?
- My ideas are important, and I feel enthusiasm in exploring them.
- I choose relationships and environments in which I am encouraged to nourish myself creatively.
- I express myself because I know the world needs what I can give, and in taking time for myself, I am giving the gift of my talents back to the world.
- I feel ready to take risks, because the thrill of what I will discover on the journey is greater than the fear of what I will lose or the mistakes I might make. I recognize that each great creation thrives on "mistakes" for its successful evolution.
Overall, is your current manifestation giving you a "no" feeling, or a "yes" feeling?
What things can you do that would help you feel your "yes"? When you contemplate the "yes" feelings you are wishing to draw into your life, what sorts of things do you envision yourself manifesting to create these feelings?
Is it time to make a transition? Do you need to change, but don't feel ready to make a transition? If not, what do you need to feel ready?
Take one step toward it, today. While you pave the road, put your positive thinking to work today by letting your cells feel the "yes" of where you want to go. Maybe it's just a daydream for now, but that's how every good thing starts. Feel good imagining your brave new world now, so you can train your whole being to see opportunities that will take you where you really want to be, and you will have the energy of "yes" to draw upon while you take little steps toward your vision. (And remember, permission to move toward your dream can only come from you… There is no sacred "yes" that is more important than your own.)
The real secret to powerful manifestation isn't just about being in a positive frame of mind, you must also feel empowered to act on your visions. I find that most of the blockages I experience are caused by making the task seem too daunting to achieve, but if I break my efforts down into smaller pieces that I can attain easily from a relaxed state of mind, I begin to flow more quickly into the worlds I am trying to create through my focused attention.
Action is a necessary ingredient to manifestation because we are embodied beings in a world that is very much alive and in motion. However, we can choose to act mindfully in the face of transition, and let our emotions guide us toward activities that fill us up instead of depleting us. Ultimately, if we are moving toward positive sensations from a belief in the positive, we can't go far awry. Yet it is essential to acknowledge the messages our body sends us in the form of negative feelings, because hiding from them robs them of their power to transform our lives.
Don't forget to take your body along for the ride… It possesses tremendous wisdom and is your most powerful collaborator. It will reward your positive thinking with good feelings, and these good feelings can also help to remind you when you are on the right track. If you are having trouble separating out what feels like a "no" or a "yes" in your life, then rely on your body to tell you. You might have to get really quiet to hear what it has to say, but if you give it time, it will communicate with you and help bring clarity to your decision-making.
What has been a big "no" in your life of late, and what "yes" are you moving toward?

Never meet a 1911 I dident like.Never fired a RI but hear there OK.I now have a Norenco A1 and was wondering if I could put a longer barrel in it?
anyone have one ? was looking at one online looks like the ticket for the budget priced guys who want to shoot limitted class, all tricked out 6'' barrel fiber optic sites on it, seen it several places for about 699.00
any thoughts ?
Mfg. by Armscor in the Philippines Rock Island 1911 .45ACP caliber Single action 6" match-grade polished stainless barrel Includes (1) 8rd mag Checkered wood grips Fine checkering in frame on trigger guard and handgrip Padded carry case Cast 4140 steel construction frame Tactical skeletonized trigger and hammer Tactical fully adjustable rear sight Tactical fiber optic front sight with adjustable windage Tactical-type safety lever Hammer guard (beavertail) on backstrap is longer to help keep hammer from pinching hand between the thumb and forefinger
Never meet a 1911 I dident like.Never fired a RI but hear there OK.I now have a Norenco A1 and was wondering if I could put a longer barrel in it?
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
i know i've seen 6'' slides an barrels up for sale, and i know you can just put a longer barrel on a 1911 it just sticks out the end some if you don't have the same length slide, i remember gunparts corp used to have a 16'' barrel with a 'stock' that replaced the mainspring housing for a 1911
I like Rock Island 1911's in general. I have not owned or fired one of the 6" versions, but I am tempted. I own 9 RI 1911's. 4 1911A1s and 5 1911A2 (Hicap version). I like all of them. No real issues, had to do more work to a S&W 1911!!!!
As for the 6" barrel; I built a Frankenpistol out of a ParaOrdnance frame kit (aluminum) when that was the only product that they has to offer. I mated it to a 7" AMT Hardballer Stainless slide and barrel. I call it Pinocchio.
God awful to conceal. 14 Rounds of .45, plus another 42 in reserve....I'm set.
I can do really well. Based on my experience using a factory Para P-14 5" barrel and slide:
At 50 yards: 7" holds 2" groups, 5" is almost 3".
At 100 yards, 7" holds 3.5" groups, 5" is almost 5".
Nice note; The 7" solidly knocks down steel silhouettes at 100 yards. The 5" knocks down just over 80%.
Chrono info: 7" 1211 fps, 230Gr RN BALL. 5" 970 fps. I have no useful way of measuring energy.
If I could find more of the AMT Slides and barrels, I would buy them and convert more of my Hicap pistols.
Go for the 6". It may only add 100fps, but I think that it will add better accuracy. I did pick up one of the 16" carbine kits. Chrono showed 1124 fps. Eventually decided to play, and ended up at 9.75". Chrono showed 1338 fps.
Take that any way you want to.
Rapid fire is greatly enhanced withmore muzzle wieght.
Hope that helps.
Buy one!!!!!
well i had thought long an hard about getting one for xmas but dern it with the obamanation in now i'll have to stick with highcap mags an evil rifles till the dollars run out
I love my RIA GI version. It's my primary ccw.
Railbuggy, check out the Brownell's catalog and online for compensated bbls. They are pricey but really help reduce muzzle flip. We built a Delta Elite 10mm IPSC for a guy once, I don't recall which comp we used but that sucker was perfectly timed. You fired one aimed shot and then you pulled the trigger again as fast as you could as it came down out of recoil and that second shot was always almost touching the first hole! Fastest double tapper we ever made.
Those Norinco 1911s are top-notch. IIRC, we built 2 up into race guns and they held up pretty good. Slide and frame anyway, as usual most of the other working parts were aftermarket when we were done. Only heard good things about the RIA 1911s as well.
Will do,Thanks.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.

I haven't found others, but I'm sure that they will surface

In Spain the name of this whole planning is "Didactic Programming", but to me it sounds like a direct translation from Spanish. I've asked an English native teacher and he had never heard this name before. He said they call it "Syllabus Design". Could you please help me to find out the real name for this kind planning, for the document itself? Thanks.


text: Hello there, As my username suggests, I'm the server guy and have been leading the upgrade and other optimizations of FSUniverse. I have been reading your feedback and making appropriate changes as I go along. In this thread, I will detail the changes and will ideally be able to get constructive feedback on how I can make the forums better for you. So, you may have noticed that FSU went through a major upgrade a few days ago and this has drastically improved performance and reduced load on the server which is a major plus for everyone. But with this upgrade were tons of changes which some may be great while others not so great. It's my job to make sure everything is in tip top shape and you are browsing this forum at it's best. New features! As with every upgrade, new features are introduced. Well in this upgrade, quite a lot have come along including a new editor, auto saving of unfinished posts, better performance, better mobile styles, that sort of thing. There's basically too many to list and you'll find them as you go along. I remember reading someone seeing the new notification about Reputation comments and how that's useful. Mobile Browsing Another new addition by me is an improved mobile browsing experience from the palm of your hands. Right now, I have implemented three different methods of mobile browsing. First up is Forum Runner support iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. You'll be able to browse the forum with Forum Runner, a dedicated application, that lets you browse on the go without having to fiddle with a desktop style. Second is Tapatalk. Similar to Forum Runner but supports a lot more platforms including iDevices, Android, Blackberry and Google Chrome. Yes! If you install the Tapatalk Notifier to Google Chrome, you'll be alerted when you receive a new Private Message. Other than that, it's a dedicated application for browsing the forums, like Forum Runner but has a wider platform library. Thirdly, is the Mobile Style. Browse from any mobile device (or PC if you fancy) with a dedicated mobile style optimized for low bandwidth use and works great on touch screen phones. It incorporates many features from the main forum so you're not really losing out either. vBulletin 3 Style Yes, many of you asked for it when I had a look around. You didn't like the change and thought it looked like many other vBulletin 4 boards. I have now brought back the vBulletin 3 style and it is the default style again. It looks slightly different to match with the changes that were brought along with vBulletin 4. The lips will also be brought back once they are adjusted for the new style, bare with me Anti-Spam Solution A solution has also been put in place to put an end or at least slowdown spammers by a great deal. Over the next few days, we'll be observing how this is working and I'm sure many of you will appreciate this change. Other Changes Over the next few days you'll be seeing new things around the site and also new systems being incorporated to ensure the smooth running of the site. New services have been implemented to improve performance, less database load and other techy things and you should be benefiting from these changes. The whole purpose of this thread is basically to inform you of some new things and to get your feedback. For instance, do you want to see something in particular on the site? Don't like a certain aspect? Or anything else? Leave a comment and me or Sharpie will get back to you.

Once upon a time in a suburb around the corner,lived a girl in a little white house.Her name was Mary and she lived there with her parents. Here I would say 'peacefully' or even go to the length to say they were'normal'. But they weren't, at least not the girl. You see, the girl family was respected and well-liked but her father had a bit of a temper.Along with a control freak attitude. And when he wasn't forcing his views and opinions on her, he was getting mad at the world. This…Continue

To raise funds for student scholarships, University supporters will celebrate at this year's sold out Mardi Gras Gala celebration on Tuesday, March 4, benefiting the St. Thomas Fund.
The 64th Annual Mardi Gras Gala will take place at the River Oaks Country Club. The Gala is the University's premier scholarship fundraising event and guests are invited to revel in the spirit of giving.
This year's honoree, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, is recognized for his work throughout the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston during the past 10 years. Outside Houston, DiNardo continues his service to the Catholic Church, recently serving as a Cardinal-Elector in the Papal Conclave of 2013. His brother bishops also selected him as the Vice-President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
"We are very fortunate to have Cardinal DiNardo on our Board of Directors and gratefully recognize his contributions to UST and to the entire Catholic community for the past 10 years," said Dr. Robert Ivany, St. Thomas President. The event chairs are Virginia 'Ginny' '79 and Dennis Malloy. Both Ginny and Dennis are active members in the Catholic community. Ginny, who received her M.Ed. from UST, served as the principal of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School for many years. Dennis and Ginny are members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and Dennis acts as Lieutenant for the Southwestern USA. The Malloy's have long ties to UST; Malloy Hall is named for Dennis' parents, Felice and Eugene Malloy. Both Dennis and his father, Eugene, served on the UST Board of Directors. Michele Malloy, Dennis' sister, is the current Board Chair. Mardi Gras King and Queen are seniors Cody Miller and Meredith Smith. In keeping with UST's values, they embody the University's mission to educate leaders of faith and character.
At the heart of the Gala is the University's commitment to providing students with a religious and ethical values-based education, while ensuring it is affordable. The scholarship fund provides financial assistance to students from across the Houston region – and around the world – who dream of attending UST but lack the financial means. Last year, the Gala, "A Mardi Gras Tradition," raised $800,000 for scholarships.
Next year's gala will mark the 65th Mardi Gras celebration hosted by the university and will be chaired by Trini Mendenhall and Jan and Oniel Mendenhall '04. The gala will be on February 17, 2015 at Hilton-Americas Houston.

John Ritter Named 2013 Ohio Professor Of The Year
Published Nov. 14, 2013
Springfield, Ohio - Known for the applied nature of his teaching and his uncompromising commitment to student success, John Ritter, professor of geology and department chair, is now known on a national scale, having just been named the 2013 Ohio Professor of the Year.
Sponsored by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the U.S. Professor of the Year program is the only national program to recognize excellence in undergraduate education. Since the program's founding in 1981, Wittenberg has led the state among four-year institutions in the number of professors receiving the coveted distinction. Ritter's award brings the official count to seven and again shines the spotlight on Wittenberg's superb teaching inside the classroom and outside of it.
"I am in a profession where students can learn science by doing science, getting their hands dirty working on real problems," Ritter said. "Teaching goes way beyond the classroom in my field. 'Hands-on experience' is literal in geology, and I thrive at creating opportunities for students to examine real problems, collect data with the tools that geologists and environmental scientists use, and propose solutions that can be acted upon."
Nominated by faculty colleagues and university administrators, Ritter, who said he is "both honored and humbled by the recognition," specializes in geomorphology and environmental geology. He has also played a leadership role in the region, serving on local boards and committees, including the Clark County Soil and Water Conservation District, and using the area's environmental resources to engage his students in collaborative research. From examining alternatives for Springfield's combined sewer overflow problem to studying local drainage patterns and helping restore Springfield's own Buck Creek, Ritter is ensuring that his students are able to take the content from his courses and apply it in practical, yet meaningful ways.
"I have a real sense of fulfillment when I consider the collaboration I have enjoyed with members of the Springfield and Clark County community, and I hope my students do, too," Ritter said. "Though our impact on the science is modest, our lasting impact on the community can be significant."
Ritter's influence on students is just as lasting as evidenced by the lifelong friendships he has made with them as result of the active, engaged learning experience Wittenberg provides.
"Wittenberg is small enough and our students are so genuine that meaningful relationships develop between faculty and students, which last much longer than the student's time at Wittenberg," Ritter said. "These relationships are probably my favorite part of teaching here."
Wittenberg's geology program was recently highlighted in a Dayton Daily News article, which noted that "the need for geologists is growing across the nation. The industry was expected to add 7,100 jobs between 2010 and 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That 21 percent growth is faster than the average field." The program was also recognized by peers in the American Geological Society for its emphasis on applied teaching.
A nationally ranked university for the liberal arts and sciences affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Wittenberg University has repeatedly been ranked throughout the years by the Princeton Review for the quality of its teaching and faculty, including 11th in the nation for "Best Classroom Experience" and 15th in the category "Professors Get High Marks" in the 2011 edition of Princeton's annual Best Colleges guide. Most recently, Wittenberg earned the No. 4 spot in the category of "Most Accessible Professors."
Additionally, The Chronicle of Higher Education named Wittenberg one of the nation's top producers of Fulbright Scholars among bachelor degree-granting institutions in 2010. The university has also been recognized nationally for excellence in service and athletics.

Author Nick Hornby is one of Arsenal's most well-known fans. His iconic memoir Fever Pitch tells the tale of his obsession with the Club, and has inspired vast numbers of people to also become fans of Arsenal, and the game of soccer itself. The novels High Fidelity and About a Boy were adapted for the big screen, helping to make Hornby one of this generation's best-known writers. Hornby's latest novel Juliet, Naked was released in September, and the film An Education, for which he wrote the screenplay, is in theaters now.
USA.Arsenal.com's Kevin Mooney caught up with Nick Hornby to talk about his books, his passion for the Club, and what he thinks of the season so far.
USA.Arsenal.com: Anytime I talk about Arsenal in the U.S., Fever Pitch very often comes up. Did you have any idea it would become a must-read for fans new to the game, especially those in America?
Nick Hornby: No, of course not! And in any case, there was very little interest in football in the U.S. when the book was first published – it really seems to have changed over the last few years.
USA.Arsenal.com: The book played a huge role in creating many dedicated Arsenal fans in the US, me included. Do you ever get tired of hearing this?
Nick Hornby: No, never. Every now and again on a book tour I end up watching an Arsenal game in a bar in the U.S. somewhere, and when I see all the Arsenal shirts I have caught myself wondering whether any of them are on those particular backs because of my book, but there's no way of knowing, and I haven't ever owned up to anyone I get talking to. If what you say is true, though, it's a good feeling.
USA.Arsenal.com: How has the game changed in the 15 years-or-so since the book was published?
Nick Hornby: I think more has changed in those 15 years than in the 92 years of the 20th century that preceded publication. It's definitely more commercial than it used to be, and there is now saturation coverage in the English media: when I was a kid, you could go weeks on end without finding a single word about the game during the summer. Now it's the back-page headline pretty much seven days a week, unless England are winning the Ashes. Arsenal was a mostly British team when the book was published, and live league games were a relatively new phenomenon (there had never been a single live top division game on TV until I was in my late 20s).
Right near the old ground is a chip shop, and in the chip shop were pictures of old players – Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, Ian Wright etc. But the amazing thing was that the pictures were all taken inside the shop, while they were collecting their takeaway cod and chips – and that was in the mid-90s! It's hard to imagine those days coming back.
USA.Arsenal.com: You wrote the book before Arsène Wenger came to North London and Arsenal's ensuing success on the pitch. Do you think the book would have been any different had you written it 10 years later?
Nick Hornby: I think tonally it would have been pretty similar, even if it had probably ended on a high. I'm glad, though, that Arsène hadn't arrived by the time the book was published. It would have been much more difficult to shape the book.
USA.Arsenal.com: It's clear that Highbury was a very special place to you. What do you miss about it?
Nick Hornby: I was thinking the other day, when I was taking my six-year-old to a game, that when I started going, I was very aware of how old the ground was – that people had been pushing through those creaky old turnstiles for a long time. When I first went to Highbury, there would have been people in the ground that could remember when they'd first arrived in North London. Now my kid does what he has to do everywhere else - put a credit card into a slot until he hears the electronic beep. It's hard to be romantic about a place like that. Maybe his kids will feel differently.
Most of all, though, I miss the trophy celebrations that soaked into the walls. The Emirates just hasn't been a happy place yet. A few good games, sure, but nothing that's made the stands shake.
USA.Arsenal.com: It's been four years since Arsenal won a trophy. How big of a deal is this to you as a long-time supporter?
Nick Hornby: Not that big at all. I think the complaining is a measure of how spoiled we've become. When I started going they hadn't won anything for 17 years, and there was nothing between 1971 and 1979, or '79 and 1987. Most teams don't win anything most years. Why do West Ham fans buy season tickets? Or Everton fans? Because they love their team and they like getting out of the house of a weekend to watch a game. We've had two finals and four or five semi-finals in those four years, and one of the finals was in the Champions League, and though losing those games was disappointing, it still meant that we had something to play for at the business end of the season. In the end it's about whether you enjoy going or not, and anyone who hasn't enjoyed watching Arsenal in the last few years, especially at home, can't really like football much.
USA.Arsenal.com: How often are you normally able to attend matches?
Nick Hornby: I don't miss many. I moved to London for good in 1984, and since then I doubt I've missed 20 home games. A combination of a stay-at-home job and a home 10 minutes' walk from the Emirates make it pretty easy.
USA.Arsenal.com: You've been quite busy for a good part of this season with a book tour for Juliet, Naked and the release of the film An Education, for which you wrote the screenplay. Have you had opportunities to see many matches this season? What do you think of the season and squad so far?
Nick Hornby: I missed the Blackburn and the Olympiacos games, but I've seen the rest. It's been incredibly enjoyable, even if the fear remains that we have a glass jaw. Alan Hansen said on Match of the Day recently that he'd never seen a team more likely to concede when they were on top. It's true, and completely maddening. But suddenly it looks like we have a squad, and a bench with both experience and talent. I still can't see us finishing above Chelsea, but there are promising signs.
USA.Arsenal.com: Arsenal's Charity of the Season in 2007/08 was TreeHouse, a London-based school for autistic children. What can you tell us about TreeHouse, and the kind of work the Club has done with the school and its students?
Nick Hornby: My son Danny, who is now 16, is a pupil at TreeHouse, hence my involvement. I had no idea the club would be as proactive as it was, but they were great – the kids had several visits from players and the manager, and it was the players' idea to give up a day's wages for the school. I was there on the day that Cesc and William Gallas visited – Matt Lucas, the comedian and actor, and I were playing football with Cesc and the kids in the playground, but neither of us let the kids have a kick. We kept passing the ball to Cesc, and making ourselves available for the return. Tragic, but predictable.
USA.Arsenal.com: We mentioned that you have a new book and new movie out now. While neither An Education' nor Juliet, Naked are about football, they definitely involve themes that will be familiar to your loyal readers. Why should they be on everyone's reading/viewing list?
Nick Hornby: Well, I have to say I'm pleased with how both of them turned out, although it's easier to talk about An Education, because it involved the work of a lot of talented people. It's a film about a teenage girl's affair with an unsuitable older man at the beginning of the 1960s, and our young actress Carey Mulligan is sensational. She'll get an Oscar nomination, I think. Juliet, Naked is about love, regret, music and the Internet, and it's in all good bookshops now.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Prime Minister Taro Aso indicated he seeks to establish solid working relationships with the new Obama adminsitration, but he will have problems in achieving that goal. The Japanese prime minister had close working connections with Bush and is unclear as to whether Obama's policies in Asia will be in line with his goals. Obama needs to focus on rebuilding the American economy, and Japan has enough of its own financial crisis to be of much assistance. Japan is still very much concerned about the kidnapping by North Korea of its citizens, but there is little likelihood this will be of much concern to the Obama administration. Obama wants to end North Korean nuclear programs and will undoubtedly make that his priority, which means he will regard lesser issues of no importance and will avoid dealing with them if they hamper achieving the goal of ending nuclear weapons in North Korea.
The Japanese government has displayed an inept approach to many issues such as the manner in which the history of WWII is taught in its schools which has resulted in anger by Chinese and Korean officials. It is time for Japan to confront issues of the past, put them to rest, and move ahead to focus on contemporary issues. Aso's buddy, George Bush is history, so begin making history with Obama
