Tuesday 14th March 2012
Many thousands of Gooners travel long distances to watch our team including those that attend midweek games, get home extremely late and get up again bright an early for a day's work.
For a large number of those it is often a mad dash to reach their last trains, running the risk of course, of not actually being able to get home at all!
Eight o'clock kick-offs like Monday nights don't help, especially when the game is on a knife's edge with wave after wave of second-half attacks proving fruitless as we headed into injury time.
My personal dash to Arsenal tube station immediately on the final whistle was made with an incredible combination of ecstasy, physical pain and desire to make my own late-night transport home.
The reason for the ecstasy is obvious and the pain was only brought on by the quite crazy jostle as our late goal hit the back of the net!
Another weekend where results had been favourable saw us going into the fixture knowing another three points would strengthen our position in this fight for a Champions League place. For that reason alone there was a real sense of tension in the streets around the ground before the game.
For the third home game on the bounce the atmosphere was fantastic, another example of just what a stage our 'new' stadium can be as we look to the future.
Despite looking relatively sharp in the opening stages we fell behind yet again. As frustrating as that was, heads didn't drop on or off the pitch and why should they? It is not exactly a position we have not become a little bit used to in recent weeks!
It is difficult to say how crucial an immediate response would turn out to be but it was thoroughly satisfying nonetheless, RVP's stunning first touch and cool finish bringing us level after excellent work by the impressive Theo. One-all and the roof lifted off the stand once again.
The second period was pretty much one-way traffic with chance after chance going begging due to a combination of good defending and goalkeeping, bad luck and poor finishing too.
Much has been discussed already, not just regarding anything that happened last night but the whole aspect of what is referred to as 'timewasting' in games. Personally I have never had a problem with these situations as long as two adjoining aspects keep the consistency we all want. The first is that the referee recognises what appears to be going on and adds suitable additional time accordingly. The second is that if the 'extra' minutes prove to be crucial, those responsible for them simply cannot complain at the outcome.
With time almost up last night and the ball deep in our own half we launched one final attack. The number of bodies flying into our visitors' box was fantastic to see, each and every one of them pushing their aching limbs to the very limit in a bid to grab that all-important winner.
The ball came in and as it dropped to the floor Tommy V smashed it home. I've heard stories from Gooners all over the globe ranging from waking their families with their uncontrollable joy to being dumped in a wheelie bin by their Geordie mates but the area where I sit mirrored every part of the stadium I am sure. It was total and utter pandemonium! Get in Tommy boy, get in!
A massive result to conclude a busy period before a nine day 'break' before our next fixture, the tough trip to Goodison Park.
Enjoy the Arsenal free weekend boys and girls and I'll see many of you up in Liverpool next Wednesday.
Oh and by the way... I made my transport home :-)
Over land and sea.

About This Project
Jill Scott is a brilliant artist. We've proclaimed this from her landmark debut recording Who is Jill Scott? and throughout her career. The proof was obvious. It could be found in every recorded "Word and Sound" that resonated from her lips. Further proof was obvious when she took the stage. She owned it, and still does to this day. Jill also showed the world, what we knew from the beginning, that she was an amazing actress. At this point, after her brilliant offerings as a recording artist, mesmerizing live performances and her best-selling outings as a writer and poet and her riveting metamorphosis into characters as an actress, I don't think that there are many aware of her output, that continue to challenge the position that we've maintained since day one.
She's proved our assertion with awards from almost every relevant collective recognizing exceptional talent. One would think there is not much left to prove or certainly left to prove it to. Then we opened our vaults. Historically "Vault" collections have often been a nice coda for fans at the end of ones career providing an unheard glimpse to an artist that may not be discovered. It is precisely because "Vault" projects often contain material that was stored there and unreleased during its time of creation for good reason while the best material is allowed to see the light of day.
Jill Scott's so-called "Vault" at Hidden Beach got populated with extraordinary unheard masters simply because of the remarkable output of its creator. Like many artists with every record made to date, Jill always over cut for the project. With each and every record it was always painful process of eliminating one song or another purely based on the technical limitations of a single CD or the expected appetite for a new album listening experience. The only consolation prize being, as we would start the next album we knew there were gems polished and ready to be enjoyed and admired by millions.
For example: the adventurous journey of "Running Away" was one of, if not the first song recorded for Jill's last studio project. An absolute favorite of every-one who heard it, we were extremely excited to let the listener get a glimpse of Jill's genius in progress as the best version of the song was recorded simultaneous with its creation! In the end, its full-length version found here on this Deluxe Edition which includes the remarkable talking and improvisation was simply too long to fit. We consoled ourselves knowing this wonderful song would be a part of a future offering. Similarly, Jill's (and ours through Jill) gift from God in the way of the song and "And I Heard…Do You Understand?" was planned to be an anchor song on her next studio project for Hidden Beach. Accordingly the selections from this first "Vault" project were intended for your ears at some point and we are thankful that point is now. Not that anything else was needed to showcase her diversity and artistry behind the microphone or her ability with the pen but we believe this: Jill Scott's "Vault" at Hidden Beach rivals the most celebrated artist's collections in modern music history. Like great wines that are sometimes left in storage for that special occasion when it's complexity peaks inside the barrel we hope you enjoy and savor it now, this fine collection of Bordeaux, like a sommelier let loose in the cellars of Rothschild Vineyards*.
—Steve McKeever
*PS If you are over 21 and a wine lover try pairing your favorite red full-bodied complex vintage with the amazing performance found on "Holding On" (another rare glimpse of unfiltered brilliance at work). Ahhhhh….

'Following a scoreless five-minute overtime, the two sides went to a shootout where Buffalo ended it quickly. After Miller stopped Horton on the first attempt, then Ales Kotalik notched yet another shootout goal — his 10th all-time, the most in the NHL. Miller then stonewalled Booth, followed by Roy's game-winner.'

text: A judge is now deciding whether a 23-year-old Lewiston man is competent to stand trial on arson charges. Bryan Wood is one of two men accused of setting a fire in May that destroyed three apartment buildings in the city. The Sun Journal, reports that three psychologists who evaluated Wood said in Androscoggin County Superior Court Thursday that the defendant appeared to lack the necessary reasoning skills to stand trial. Ann LeBlanc, director of State Forensic Services, said Wood can grasp simple legal concepts but would not be able to understand a complex plea deal. Wood's lawyer has argued this his client has a mild mental disability and is incompetent to stand trial, but prosecutors disagree. Wood denied setting the fire in a videotaped interview with an investigator.

An incremental step blown up
New results from the University of Aarhus in Denmark and the Danish National Space Institute allegedly show that particles from space create cloud cover, according to a recent press release. And the Physics World magazine (May, 2011) report that the
researchers say this is the best experimental evidence yet that the Sun influences the climate by altering the intensity of the cosmic-ray flux reaching the Earth's surface.
Quite spectacular claims! So let's see what is the source of this information.
The basis for the statements was a recent paper published in GRL by Enghoff et al. The key points in the paper are stated as: (a) Cosmic rays increase nucleation rate, (b) A particle beam is not needed, for experiments, and (c) Ions are important for atmospheric nucleation rate. But where is the link to real clouds?
The word 'cloud' is mentioned in the paper. In the introduction:
Aerosol and cloud research is one of the most critical frontiers of climate science [Shindell et al., 2009; Bodenschatz et al., 2010] and the direct radiative forcing and indirect cloud albedo forcing from aerosols remain the dominant uncertainty in the radiative forcing of the atmosphere
The word 'cloud' is also found in some of the titles of the publications in the citation list. And that's it.
OK, so this study is really about a laboratory experiment. The results presented are of the impact of ionization on the formation rate of aerosols with size ~4 nanometers (nm), as shown in the figure below:
Enghoff et al claim that the figure shows a clear contribution from ion-induced nucleation and considers this to be the (quoted from the paper's abstract)
first unambiguous observation of the ion-effect on aerosol nucleation using a particle beam under conditions that resemble the Earth's atmosphere.
Not so fast!
There is a significant amount of aerosol formation taking place with no ionization ("background levels"), and when the sample air in the experiment was replaced, this caused a large jump (seen as a shift along the vertical axis) in the formation rate (the different colours in the figure above). This clearly shows that the formation rate is also highly sensitive to factors other than ionization.
The figure further shows that the relationship between the ionization and the aerosol formation is not all that strong. There is a relationship, but there is substantial scatter and the slopes of the best fit are not very steep.
So let's look at the clouds data. Is there a clear 11-year cycle in the cloud cover? The figure below presents the global low cloud cover from the ISCCP project. Perhaps there is an 11-year cycle embedded in the evolution since 1983, perhaps not. However, the variations in the evolution are clearly not dominated by 11-year cycles.

text: Hi all. Currently working on my 1972 chevy fleetside long bed c20. Installing air ride suspension,(front end done), getn ready to start the rear,but about to get my back fixed from injury too? So,kinda on hold. In the meantime,doing small interior and electrical,and thinking up ways to make the rear of the truck more accessible for service or future work. Taking a big bed off and on is alotta work by yourself. So i kinda got this idea that could save money and having to try to dispose of old unneeded parts that gotta come off the truck anyways?? Ive removed the rear bumper,mounts,and seperate tow hitch to put in a nice flush panel in the old bumper spot.(i know the name of the panel,just in a hurry an not important for this post). Anyways,with all that removed theres bout a foot+ of blank area between the end of the bed,and the bare beam ends of th frame. I was thinkin of squaring the frame off with a cross beam. And it might be an ok pivot point for a tilt/hinged bed?? Having a welder,other tools and skills,and bein dissabled with 3 kids,i cant afford some fancy hinges for a tilt bed setup. I do gotta take the leaf springs,and the hangers and other stuff off of the truck to install my notches,4 link,and bag setup.(no im not trench and tubbing my bed) Now, if u cut leaf springs in half,and mounted the four hangers to the cross beam im adding to the end of the frame,then connect(weld/bolt) the four leafspring halves to the right spot on the underside of the bed,and bent them so theyd mount back to the hangers properly....wouldnt i essentially home-made my own tilt bed hinges?? Plenty strong to for just lifting the bed occasionally,if ever?? Could reinforce where theyre mounted to the bed?? And i was thinkin of a way to lift the whole deal?? Some would suggest hydraulic lift,but that means $$,and extra gadgets. I was thinkin i have a few bottle jacks,different lengths,sizes?? Thinkin make a mount close to the hinges,cuz short movement lifts more closinie to the pivot point?? Then make a drop down brace like a cars hood,for safety?? Or since i have two big comps an a big air tank for my suspension? Some lifts/jacks use air... maybe throw in a extra air line,pressure switch,relay,etc...hooked to a seperate toggle control and lift switch??? As for locking the bed in the down normal position,was gonna try making a tandem truck dual hood pin type locking and unlocking deal??? Line up the upper hood pins with the center of each sides frame rails,and drill a hole there,then mount and custom fit the locking "latch" part of the hood locks in that part of the frame rails. If all is lined up right,im thinkin it might be a workable plan?? If anyone reads this "book",and can envision what i envision,and think itd work,please,leave feedback?? If anyone sees problems with my idea,feel free to enlighten me?? I joined this forum for insight,or alternate advice for help with my plans. I have other projects too. This probly seems complicated,but only the explanation is. I have the tools,most of the parts,an the cost for what i dont have is maybe $60 or so?? Im thinkin its worth the extra effort. Do some mock up to make sure,but not too crazy of an idea right?? Anyways...thanks for reading this? U must be bored? My second books coming soon... peace. ENVY~SP~

remember the three P's
Practice, practice, practice
And all I gotta say is
Somewhere / somehow I have developed a "push" and a trigger jerk. 15 yds with decent 3" groups but all at 8 o'clock and about 4" off center.
After 50 rounds or so I was starting to return to "normal" with 3" groups at 9 o'clock about 3" - 4" left of center consistently. I decided to quit while I was ahead instead of wasting my time and money.
Maybe it was just the day. Maybe it was the ammo. I sure hope it was something besides me....
remember the three P's
Practice, practice, practice
Next time, start out at 3 yards to warm up and then move the targets back.
You get your good days and you get your bad days.

Event Horizon Telescope
A long standing goal in astrophysics is to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon.
Realizing this goal would open a new window on the study of general relativity in the strong field regime, accretion and outflow processes at the edge of a black hole, the existence of an event horizon, and fundamental black hole physics. Steady long-term progress on improving the capability of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at short wavelengths has now made it extremely likely that this goal will be achieved within the next decade.
The most compelling evidence for this is the recent observation by 1.3 mm VLBI of Schwarzschild radius scale structure in Sgr A*, the compact source of radio, submillimeter, near infrared and X-rays at the center of the Milky Way. Sgr A* is thought to mark the position of a ~4 million solar mass black hole, and because of its proximity and estimated mass presents the largest apparent event horizon size of any black hole candidate in the Universe.
This new 1.3 mm VLBI detection confirms that short-wavelength VLBI of Sgr A* can and will be used to directly probe the event horizon of this black hole candidate: in short, Sgr A* is the right object, VLBI is the right technique, and this decade is the right time.
Over the next decade, our group proposes to combine existing and planned millimeter/submillimeter facilities into a high-sensitivity, high angular resolution Event Horizon Telescope that will bring us as close to the edge of black hole as we will ever come. This effort will include development and deployment of submillimeter dual-polarization receivers, highly stable frequency standards to enable VLBI at 230-450 GHz, higher-bandwidth VLBI backends and recorders, as well as commissioning of new submillimeter VLBI sites.
We emphasize that while there is development and procurement involved, the path forward is clear, and recent successful observations have removed much of the risk that would normally be associated with such an ambitious project.

Esquivel v. Oregon
Our Sponsors
Alec Esquivel, pictured above (left) with Lambda Legal's Transgender Rights Project Director, M. Dru Levasseur (right). Visit Lambda Legal's Know Your Rights: Transgender campaign hub to learn more about the legal rights of trans people.
Alec Esquivel is a law school graduate who is clerking for the Oregon Court of Appeals. Assigned female sex at birth, he was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder (GID) in 2001 and began to take steps to have his body match his male gender identity. In 2010, as part of his transition-related health plan, Alec sought insurance coverage for a hysterectomy, a procedure that routinely is covered for other employees under the state's health plan. Esquivel's doctor then submitted a request for insurance coverage. On June 21, 2010, Esquivel was denied based on the plan's categorical exclusion of transition-related health care, a violation of Oregon's antidiscrimination guarantees. Lambda Legal's lawsuit seeks recognition that denying a public employee the same coverage that others receive because of the employee's gender identity violates Oregon's Equality Act and its guarantees of equal treatment in the workplace regardless of gender identity.
- April 2010 Esquivel's doctor submits a request for insurance coverage for the hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
- June 2010 Esquivel's request for insurance coverage is denied.
- December 2010 Lambda Legal administratively appeals, on behalf of Esquivel, the denial of coverage for hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
- April 2011 Esquivel receives final administrative denial of his request for health coverage.
- June 2011 Lambda Legal files lawsuit against the State of Oregon (Esquivel's employer), and the Public Employee's Benefit Board
- January 2013 Victory! The State of Oregon agrees to change employee health care policy to remove all language that denies coverage to transgender people for transition-related health care.

Well, it depends on which side of the state line you live.
In Missouri, you can take them to two permanent collection facilities. One is in Lee's Summit, and the other is here in Kansas City, located at 4707 Deramus, just south of the Chouteau Bridge in the East Bottoms. Robert Fort, Environmental Manager, said that if you have chemicals to get rid of, he and his team will take care of you. He proudly hangs a whiteboard next to his office where he keeps track of how much household waste comes in.
"The largest amount we have brought in on one day, in a single event, and we're still looking to break that record, is 16,336 pounds," Fort said. An average collection day brings in about 8,000 pounds.
The Kansas City, Mo., collection facility is open Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
"We have dangerous when wet, flammable solid, and spontaneously combustable (material) up here," Fort said, as he showed a secure yellow locker for storing the most hazardous materials. "We hold those products until we get enough that we can go ahead, in what we call lab pack that product, and send those products off for incineration. These are what we call our high-haz items."
Fort has been the Environmental Manager at the Kansas City facility for more than 16 years. He and his team take the old materials from area residents and place them on carts. The material is then weighed and segregated into proper disposal containers.
On the other side of the state line, residents can use the Kansas hazardous waste disposal program, but they should plan ahead, as an appointment is required.
Appointments are necessary because the household hazardous waste facility is located inside a secure water treatment plant and with a small staff they need to avoid getting overloaded with drop-offs.
To find the proper recycling facility in your area, visit www.recyclespot.org.
All of the facilities have seen just about every crazy type of chemical come their way. Over the years, they have also seen other material come through the doors.
Fort says years ago, even before he worked there, a normal bucket of garden variety chemicals made its way into the plant. An employee at the time noticed that this particular bucket weighed a lot more than it should. Straining to dump the bucket over a high dumpster wall, there was a loud thud down inside the dumpster. Sure enough, after climbing in to see what made all the racket, there were three solid silver bars. After some checking, they found out who brought in the bucket of silver, and they were returned to a very grateful owner.
Later it was found that each bar was worth more than $3,000.
For Brandon Hearn and his coworkers at the Johnson County facility, one of their favorite stories is the bomb scare.
A few years ago, an elderly woman brought in the remnants of her late husband's chemical collection that had built up in their basement for years: things she didn't want lying around, like DDT and a fully functioning WWI grenade. She knew the weapon shouldn't be thrown in the trash, so she called hazardous waste disposal for help. The police were called, and the bomb squad was sent in to dispose of old weapon.
"It was pretty cool looking," Hearn said jokingly. He also mentioned that it was good training for the bomb squad.
So silver bars and grenades aside, it's pretty much paint and household chemicals that make their way to each facility. But knowing where you can take any strange chemical that is lurking in the corner of your garage is a good thing. And both side of the state line have you covered.
For hours, fees and other information visit recyclespot.org.
When if time comes to get rid of hazardous wastes, what do I do? At home, we also have these and normally, we ask help from the professionals of a hazardous waste disposal company. This is way too better than pretending to know-it-all in terms of disposing them and ended up on tossing them anywhere and causing contamination to soils and water systems and this is not good for our health and environment.

I don't think "nearly silent" is quite the right term given the following:I can only imagine the report if the shroud was not present.A shroud?
A big bore airgun with a shroud? Are you kidding?
No, it's true. The Rogue has a shroud, and from listening to it while firing the rifle at the recent airgun show in Malvern, Arkansas, it works very well. In fact, Lloyd Sikes reports in his blog over on the Crosman website that his wife thought the rifle was pretty quiet when she shot it. Of course, she's been listening to all of Lloyd's tests in the garage for the past four years, so compared to all that racket I'm sure this is a pussycat. Don't think for a moment that the gun is silent. The muzzle blast is just knocked back to the point that you don't have to wear hearing protection when shooting — even indoors, as they found out at the underground NRA rifle range a few weeks ago.
I think the shroud was the right thing to do. So many shooters who are getting into big bore airguns these days have little or no firearms experience, and many report surprise that an airgun can be loud. The shroud is not to make the Rogue better for your backyard, because it really isn't made for that. But for user perception and to ease newcomers into the world of high-powered airguns, it's a good thing.

Richardson's forecast was actually a hindcast: He was "predicting" events that had taken place years before. His initial data described the state of the atmosphere over Germany and neighboring countries at 7:00 a.m. (Greenwich time) on May 20, 1910. His goal was to model the weather in this region over a span of six hours. He chose this particular time and place not because the weather was in any way unusual that Friday morning but rather because unusually good data were available. May 20, 1910, was one of a series of days on which weather observations were collected from coordinated balloon ascents all over Europe. The results had been tabulated and analyzed by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes.
The observing sites for the Bjerknes project were scattered irregularly across the map of Europe, and so Richardson had to interpolate to produce a uniform grid of data points. The grid he chose was a checkerboard, with squares roughly 200 kilometers on a side. A pattern of 25 squares covered a diamond-shaped region extending from Denmark to Italy and from the English Channel to Poland. Vertically, he sliced the atmosphere into five layers, with boundaries at altitudes of roughly 2, 4, 7 and 12 kilometers. (The heights were chosen so that each stratum had about the same mass of air.) Thus the model divided the volume being studied into 125 compartments.
The pattern of squares laid out on the landscape was described as a checkerboard rather than merely a grid because different quantities were computed in the alternating black and white squares. In one set of squares (called P cells) Richardson recorded the barometric pressure in each of the five altitude layers, and also moisture amounts and the stratospheric temperature. In the other squares (M cells) he calculated the momentum of the atmosphere—that is, the wind speed and direction multiplied by the mass of the air.
It's not hard to see in a qualitative way how these variables would enter into a model of the atmosphere's dynamics. In particular, winds and barometric pressures have an obvious interconnection. Pressure is the force that drives the winds; air flows from place to place in response to differences in pressure. At the same time, the convergence or divergence of winds alters the pressure in a region, as air is either blown in or sucked out. A similar linkage connects pressure with temperature, since heat is generated when air is compressed. The model has to track all these relationships (and others) from moment to moment. Given initial values of all the variables at time t0, the model calculates the values at a later time t1; then these t1 values form the basis of a new calculation at time t2, and so on.
The most important quantities to keep track of in Richardson's model turned out to be barometric pressure and three components of momentum (along north-south, east-west and up-down axes). All of these quantities vary from place to place and from moment to moment; in other words, they are functions of latitude, longitude, height and time. There are also crucial dependencies among them. For example, one of Richardson's equations states that the rate of change in the east-west component of momentum depends on the pressure gradient along the same axis. This relation is unsurprising; it says that air goes where you push it. But the full atmospheric equations of motion are more complicated. In addition to the pressure-gradient term, they also includes a term representing the Coriolis force, by which the earth's rotation twists the winds and thereby couples east-west and north-south velocities.
Vertical motions in the atmosphere are even more problematic. No vertical winds were included among the initial data. To calculate them, Richardson relied on a simple ground truth: The earth is solid, and therefore impervious to wind. It follows that if horizontal winds are converging in some ground-level cell of the model atmosphere, then air must be flowing upward out of that cell. By the same principle, divergent winds at ground level must be balanced by air sinking into the cell from above.

Welcome from southeast Texas.
Hey everyone.
I never heard of this forum but looks really cool and'is active, many gun sites I have been part of are slow and posts are like once a week.
I have always had guns until I had kids and then put them away until they got a tad older.
I have now started up a collection myself of ones I enjoy.
My first taste of a gun was at 12 firing off my sisters husbands 30-06 back in the 70's and it put my butt on the ground. I have had many tastes over the year and went into police training back in the 80's to use my first 38 / 357. I also had a gun even in my younger years a bb gun.

Funding available for landowners interested in conservation
AUSTIN — Funding is still available for Texas landowners interested in working with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to implement conservation efforts on their property through the Landowner Incentive Program.
Conservation projects such as prescribed burns, selective brush management, restoring native vegetation, protecting ecologically sensitive areas and fencing livestock out of riparian areas are among the projects undertaken through the program.
"LIP offers a number of assistance opportunities in target areas of the state to landowners working to conserve their natural resources for the benefit of at risk wildlife and Texas Watersheds," said Arlene Kalmbach, LIP Coordinator.
For example, the Texas Guadalupe Bass Restoration Initiative funding series protects Guadalupe bass populations and their habitats through development of landowner networks for landscape conservation at watershed-scales. Currently funding is specifically available to landowners on the north and south fork reaches of the Llano River watershed and the James River watershed.
Elsewhere, invasive species control and native species protection initiatives are funded through the program in targeted areas throughout the state. Projects on the Nueces and Sabinal Rivers by riparian landowners have focused on the arundo donax, or river cane, an aggressive, non-native grass that spreads quickly in dense patches with shoots up to 20 feet high. The interconnected roots and dense stalks create an impenetrable wall of vegetation, clogging waterways and taking resources from native plants and animals.
The program covers between 50 and 75 percent of the proposed project cost with the landowner contributing at least 25 percent for the project through in-kind labor, materials, monetary contribution and other methods. Projects showing great benefit to targeted species receive priority as do projects offering long-term conservation and protection.
"There are no acreage restrictions to participate," said Kalmbach. "Interested landowners may contact their local TPWD office and speak with a staff biologist who will aid in an ecological assessment of the land and offer technical guidance on your conservation goals. Together you will decide if the LIP program is right for your project and apply for the applicable funding."
Biologists say the best way to get your project accepted is to have measurable results and be willing to sign a project agreement or management plan. Proposals are received throughout the year and are ranked quarterly among other project proposals from that year. Selection criteria are based on the extent to which the proposed project achieves the goals of the targeted funding series balanced against the cost effectiveness of the proposal. Landowners not chosen for a project are encouraged to reapply.

Re: Anyone ever work for World Maritme Exchange?
Sounds like Trump University.......
Re: Anyone ever work for World Maritme Exchange?
DO NOT DO IT!!!!. I worked for them for over a year. They basically teach you to scan "For Sale" ads then call the people that are selling the boats and tell them you have a buyer. They offer you little to no help. Berney is a rude, salty sailor that needed a way to pay for a beach house in Ft. Lauderdale. They take your money and give you no help. So if you want to fund his beach house go ahead but if you want to be a yacht broker find a reputable outfit instead.
Re: Anyone ever work for World Maritme Exchange?
I have worked with WME Yachts Ltd for over 13 years now, and have never had a complaint. When I was trained I had no idea how to operate as a Yacht Broker, and WME Yachts Ltd training gave me the skill necessary to operate my yacht brokerage, the owner stayed with me and was there for every negotiation I went through, helping me make decisions and with their help I was successful in each of my sales negotiations. Yacht Brokering is a different business than most. I own three other businesses and Yacht Brokering is nothing like them. I have a great deal of experience in sales but without WME Yachts training and guidance I would have spent more time, more money, and most likely lost several sales that I was successful with with the help of WME Yachts.
I have read through all the comments about WME Yachts on this site, and the one thing I seem to notice and it seems to be a common ground among these persons making these comments, they do not know business very well. Some of their comments appear to be emotional.
WME Yachts is not hiring salespeople, like other companies, they are placing people into business. Like me I had a great deal of sales training and experience, however I would never had made it without the training and support. The other thing is this is my business, not WME Yachts, I work with them, they give me an office, an international image, industry data, but I am the one who makes all the decisions for my success. If I wanted to leave them and start my own business I could have. Some have. I have chosen to stay with WME Yachts. It is expensive to operate a yacht brokerage. In addition the services they give you are expensive. So I am happy to let them to all the back office work, and let me work with my people. WME Yachts has given several people and brokers, I know, the opportunity to be very successful. Some tell me they were well into 6 figures in commissions.
Take this for what it is worth to you, getting into business for yourself is a good thing. Being in charge of your schedule, you clients, your income, is a good thing. WME Yachts lets me do all this, all they demand is that you treat your customers with good service, and respect. I work at my own schedule, I work how I want, and WME Yachts has shown me how to create an annual goal and an action plan to accomplish that plan. It works good. I hope some of the people who are taking shots at WME Yachts, have gone into the business of yacht brokering and have been successful. The one thing I can say is that I accepted the system that WME Yachts gave me, followed it and I have been successful. I know others who have decided not to follow WME Yachts system, and they struggled. Some quit. Maybe some of these people on this site are people that decided not to follow the WME yachts system.
I took the time to write this because WME Yachts has given me everything they said they would. They would not have an A+ rating with the BBB, if they did not give their brokers what they have in their contract with the broker. Good Luck.
|I tried to contact them to purchase a vessel. They were the WORST Broker I have EVER worked with. I needed to reach a broker named Scott Jones. I emailed him several times and he didn't respond. I ended up having to call another broker to get him to return my email. After I gave him my specs he sent me a bunch of ships that didn't fit the specs. According to their site they had some that were perfect, but he sent me a bunch of newer more expensive ships. Then when I requested the info on the other ships he said he'd send it but never did!
WME weee!!!!!!
I know this is an old post, but I just came across WME. It's fabulously funny. The company owner claims to train by androgogy (sp). as opposed to pedagogy. ie. teach yourself or be taught by someone with knowledge.
So he promises to let you figure stuff out and pay him money for the privilege.
His listings are a riot!! 400 foot bulk carriers and such.
I'm not sure why Yachtworld allows such nonsense. Maybe they figure no one is stupid enough to actually believe this scoundrel.
Yes there is a contract which I will review carefully.
At this point I am less Iikely to go forward unless I find some good info,
I think you have discribed the process very well. I informed them I would mainly be interesed in sailboats but have no problem with power boats as well. At this point I'm still very skeptical. I will try and speak to one of thier brokers and see what I can find out.
Be aware that working for them as an independent contractor might not be completely legal. There are requirements for someone to be considered an independent contractor that they may or not be meeting. Hiring someone as an independent contractor is a way for less ethical companies to get out of paying many of the taxes and costs that are associated with having employees, like FICA, Social Security, Unemployment, and providing benefits like health insurance. It is good for them, since it pushes many of these on to you, effectively making you pay for things they would normally be responsible for.
If you're curious what the differences are, look at this website and this website.
From what I can gather you are paying to be trained and then would be an independent broker working under the WME banner. May not be a bad deal for what your are getting in knowledge. Especially if the cost covers air and hotel stay. I am consultant and trainer in another field and training is expensive.
That being said most of what they teach can be found through research on your own. The question becomes whether you want to pay for having it already compiled in a comprehensive learning package and having someone to answer questions. Whats your time worth to you?
One last concern would be whether or not you had to sign any type of work or broker agreement and the language it contained.
I have reviewed the docs they sent me. You work for them as an independent contractor. There is too much too list here and so I will try to find more info about them before I make any decesion.
I have to say they have links all over the net about boats for sale under their name. Just plug in World Maritime exchange in your browser and you 'll see what I mean.
I'll post back here if I learn more.

That is a hard one. I know which I would pic but it depends on what you like.
Lets say both are very accurate and reliable
Numerous trigger options (exposed hammer)(Option of manual safety)
Mag release reachable by both sides of weapon
Unique recoil system (works very well)
Constant trigger striker system
Traditional mag release
grip safety
All I can think of for now. Best advice since both a great guns is to get the one that feels best!

i think as long as you are in a committed relationship, sex before marriage is acceptable in god's eyes. you guys clearly are committed to one another, so i wouldnt worry about it. lets face facts, god is supposed to love us all no matter what. and - what about people who cant get married but want to share their bodies with each other? sometimes people just cant afford to get married. are they supposed to wait?? what happens if they can never afford to get married?surely god wouldnt want us to be lonely and unloved?
Oh wow, lol, I just realized this post from Rachel (the OP) was done over a year ago!!!! And she said she was good with it! (laughing)...well, glad to know.Rachel, if you're out there in Gracecentered land, hope all is well for you these days!
"got married in the bedroom?" I've heard of lots of things to do in the bedroom, but never that one...I had a colonel once in the army who told me that if you have to explain your actions, it's an excuse. That's exactly what that sounds like. And just like Col. Potter, God won't accept excuses.

Dollars for Scholarships drive coming
The 23rd annual Custer County Educational Foundation's Dollars for Scholarships Phone-a-thon will be Monday and Tuesday, March 3 and 4, in Miles City.
Between 6:30 and 8:30 each evening, juniors and seniors at Custer County District High School will call on local residents for their support in funding the mission of CCEF to help the youth of Miles City receive higher education. The funds raised during this annual event are designated for the Dollars for Scholarships program sponsored by CCEF to award scholarships.
The sites from which students will be making phone calls are Stockman Bank, First Interstate Bank, Miles Community College and the W.A. Mitchell Agency.
The CCEF is a locally operated and supported non-profit, tax-exempt scholarship foundation. It is administered by an all-volunteer board of directors.
Members of the CCEF Board are Scott Tally, president; Tara Andrews, secretary; Wendee Essex, treasurer; and Corina Berry, Dannette Cremer, Monte Larson, Tom Albers, Jack Regan, Karl Drga, Don Griffin, Jamie Ogolin, Tad Torgerson, Ted Herzog and Keith Campbell, board members.
The purpose of CCEF is to expand access to educational opportunities by involving and assisting Miles City residents in the support of students and encouragement of educational achievement.
"I am honored to be serving on this board because it has such a worthy purpose," said Berry. "It is gratifying to see it helps so many graduating seniors."
Since its start in 1991, the foundation has helped local students receive college educations by awarding roughly $965,600 to local and area students.
The first scholarship, which was awarded in 1992, was for $500. Over the last 23 years, the foundation members have worked hard at continuing to raise the scholarship amount and increase the amount of scholarships presented each year.
Two years ago the scholarship amount was increased to $1,200. In recent years, more than 25 percent of students in each graduating class have received CCEF scholarships.
"With the cost of tuition, books and all the extras to be in a nursing program, I was very grateful for the scholarship from the CCEF, " said Ariel Chapman, MCC freshman and 2013 CCDHS graduate. "It definitely helped me."
This year, 12 sophomore scholarships for the 2014-2015 school year will be awarded to second-year college students who are graduates of CCDHS. These students must have received CCEF scholarships for the 2013-2014 school year.
Any contribution of any size puts CCDHS graduates one step closer to reaching their educational expectations. Anyone who is not contacted during this year's Dollars for Scholarships Phone-a-thon may make a donation by mailing it to: Custer County Educational Foundation, P.O. Box 1092, Miles City, MT 59301. More information is available at the foundation's Web site: ccedufoundation.org.

Calif. bill would let 911 dispatchers accept photos, videos, texts
A group of cities in California are moving to implement "Next-Generation 9-1-1" systems
By Diana Samuels
San Jose Mercury News
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Someday soon, a person whose house is being robbed will be able to text 911 for help while hiding inside a closet or send police dispatchers a cellphone video of the thief driving away.
As a group of Peninsula cities are moving to implement "Next-Generation 9-1-1" systems that allow emergency dispatch centers to accept photos, videos and text messages that have become standard fare for many cellphone users, Rep. Anna Eshoo is working to advance the systems on a national level.
Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, recently introduced a bill that would provide federal money to help local agencies buy the new technology.

Get the Recipe
Granola was the object of my first breakfast obsession (since then, it has been a rotating cast of oatmeal, toast, and muesli). My mom would make giant batches of honey, almond, and sesame granola every few months, pulling out the giant roasting pan and spending hours near the stove, stirring, as the cereal transformed from dry oats into a sweet, toasty treat. I'd eat it for breakfast with yogurt every morning throughout high school. I've since learned to make granola myself, falling in and out of love with various recipes.
Megan Gordon's apricot pistachio granola from her new cookbook, Whole-Grain Mornings, is a version of one of her company's best-sellers. She coats oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and sesame seeds with a sweet and savory mix of olive oil and maple syrup. A flurry of ground cardamom adds a floral note and a final sprinkle of dried apricots and crystalized ginger adds sweetness and a touch of heat. Gordon doesn't use any tricks to cook the granola; she just lets it roast low and slow until golden and crisp. The end result is simply a great granola, worthy of a new breakfast obsession.
Why I picked this recipe: I couldn't cook through Gordon's book without trying at least one of her granolas.
What worked: I loved the combination of savory pistachios, sweet apricots, spicy ginger, and floral cardamom.
What didn't: My oven is finicky and doesn't hold a consistent temperature, and I found that I needed to cook the granola about 15 minutes longer to get it to crisp up.
Suggested tweaks: If you'd like for your granola to form clusters, don't stir while the granola is cooking and cooling. Instead, be sure to pat the granola mixture firmly into the pan to ensure that it cooks evenly. Once the granola is cool, break it apart into pieces for storage.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Whole-Grain Mornings to give away this week.

Washington • In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Ann Romney described post-campaign life as similar to serving in a Mormon calling and then being released.
In the first interview since Mitt Romney lost the presidential race, he and his wife talked about the dramatic shift that happens when a campaign ends, the Secret Service leaves, the crowds dissipate, and the attention wanes.
"In our church, we're used to serving and, you know, you can be in a very high position, but you recognize you're serving. And then now, all of a sudden, you're released and you're nobody," Ann Romney told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace in an interview set to run this weekend.
The Romneys are devout Mormons.
Wallace said in an interview with a fellow Fox News host that the Romneys aren't "bitter," but they are "terribly disappointed" about losing the White House bid.
Ann Romney called the abrupt change to post-campaign life an "adjustment, but it's one that I think we did well."
"It's like we came and stepped forward to serve," Ann Romney said in a video clip released by Fox News. "And, you know, the other part of it was an amazing thing, and it was really quite a lot of energy and a lot of passion and a lot of a lot of people around us and all of a sudden it was nothing. But the good news is, fortunately, we like each other."
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, said the campaign and subsequent loss was more like a roller-coaster ride.
"Exciting and thrilling ups and downs, but the ride ends and you get off," the former Republican candidate said. "And it's not like, 'Oh, can't we be on a roller coaster the rest of our life?' No, the ride's over."
The Romneys have stayed largely out of the spotlight since the campaign ended, though Mitt Romney is expected to make his first public appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference in two weeks.

|Alumni Offer Tips to Shine in That Interview
|School of Business alumni share their tips to stand out in an interview and snag that internship or job.
Stew Leonard Jr. '76 learned the primary lesson about job interviews many years ago. He would sit in on various interviews with his father, Stew Leonard, who founded Stew Leonard's grocery store chain in Connecticut in 1969.
"Afterwards he'd say, 'Stew, did you notice how that candidate did their homework on Stew Leonard's? That was impressive," recalls Leonard Jr., who became president and CEO in 1991.
Anyone who has participated in a job interview agrees: The most important preparation for the applicant is to learn as much as possible about the company.
"Sometimes a potential candidate will show up and I'll ask them, 'Did you walk through the store?' They would say, 'No.' That makes my interview very short. Why would I want to hire someone who shows little interest in our company?'' says Leonard Jr.
At his interview with Thomson Reuters, the financial data company, Tim Rourke '06 remembers, "I asked if the company was facing pressure from free financial data providers such as Google Finance and Yahoo! Finance. They thought this was an excellent question and responded that while they realize data is becoming more of a commodity that the level of data sold by our company will never be available on a free basis."
Rourke, an account manager for Thomson Reuters, says, "To demonstrate to the interviewer an intimate knowledge of the company and how you can contribute is what will make an applicant stand out."
He now sits across the table interviewing applicants and offers a second key quality: a smile.
"Walk into the room tall, smile, and have a firm handshake," says Rourke. "I am always most impressed by people who look me in the eye and smile. I can't stress the smile part enough because if you look too serious it can also come across the wrong way."
Good social skills are vital in any organization, says John Baumann '72, managing director and institutional regional client group head for JP Morgan Asset Management. What impresses him as he interviews a student or recent graduate?
"Someone who smiles, is enthusiastic, and shows confidence with humility. Good social/people skills, meaning they ask good questions, listen intently, and they make the interview more than just about them," Baumann says.
To prepare for an interview, he says, "Do some practice interviews, on camera, to watch and listen to yourself."
Michael Mattiello '04, who works in global wealth management for Merrill Lynch, interviews primarily candidates for internships. "Three things that stand out are persistence, a clear goal, and adding life to their resume. All make my job much easier," he says.
He stresses that "the student who follows up relentlessly will stand out."
Sending a resume is not enough:
"The resumes that get moved to the top of the pile are the ones that follow up with a phone call. If I'm busy, it's the ones that follow up with a second phone call. Using phone calls and snail mail as a complement to email is a big positive. I have 30 emails in my box before I walk in the door. I get maybe five pieces of mail. All of my mail gets read. I just deleted six emails as I'm typing this."
A good interview is a lively interview, so Mattiello suggests interviewees consider these questions: "Why do you want to do this? What got you interested? What makes you different? Why are you passionate about this? Basically, what's your story?"
Without work experience, college students will struggle to make themselves stand out from among all the other applicants. So they should "think about the things they have done and how they can make them relate to 'work' situations," says Richard Kirk, a communications directorate branch chief for the Army at Fort Monmouth, N.J.
This could be any experience like being a scout leader, teaching a class at church, filling a role on a college project, or participating in a charitable function, Kirk says: "Things that, in fact, indicate leadership, planning, decision-making, and follow-through to completion. Becoming a 32nd-level elf-wizard in a video game, while clearly a major accomplishment, doesn't usually count for much."
And remember how your resume reads, says Erin Molloy '09, who works in investor relations for Gruss & Co. in Manhattan. "It's very important to be able to explain your resume in the same order as it is outlined on paper. This way, the interviewer isn't distracted by jumping around your resume in order to follow along."
Plan how to explain the accomplishments the resume lists. Molloy recommends the STAR format: Situation, Task, Action, Result:
"This way, your answer is concise and to the point. So before an interview, write down the situation, task at hand you were given, the action you took to accomplish the task, and the final result."

1 SerializationSuppose you are writing a class for serialization of data. You have a type
data Bit = O | I class Serialize a where put :: a -> [Bit]
You might have written some instances already:
instance Serialize Int where put i = serializeInt i instance Serialize a => Serialize [a] where put [] = [] put (h:t) = put h ++ put t
A user of your library, however, will have their his datatypes, like:
data UserTree a = Node a (UserTree a) (UserTree a) | Leaf
It is here that generic programming can help you. If you are familiar with SYB you could use it at this stage, but now we'll see how to do this with the new generic deriving mechanism.
1.1 Generic serialization
First you have to tell the compiler how to serialize any datatype, in general. Since Haskell datatypes have a regular structure, this means you can just explain how to serialize a few basic datatypes.
1.1.1 Representation types
We can represent most Haskell datatypes using only the following primitive types:
-- | Unit: used for constructors without arguments data U1 p = U1 -- | Constants, additional parameters and recursion of kind * newtype K1 i c p = K1 { unK1 :: c } -- | Meta-information (constructor names, etc.) newtype M1 i c f p = M1 { unM1 :: f p } -- | Sums: encode choice between constructors infixr 5 :+: data (:+:) f g p = L1 (f p) | R1 (g p) -- | Products: encode multiple arguments to constructors infixr 6 :*: data (:*:) f g p = f p :*: g p
type RepUserTree a = -- A UserTree is either a Leaf, which has no arguments U1 -- ... or it is a Node, which has three arguments that we put in a product :+: a :*: UserTree a :*: UserTree a
Simple, right? Different constructors become alternatives of a sum, and multiple arguments become products. In fact, we want to have some more information in the representation, like datatype and constructor names, and to know if a product argument is a parameter or a type. We use the other primitives for this, and the representation looks more like:
type RealRepUserTree a = -- Information about the datatype M1 D Data_UserTree ( -- Leaf, with information about the constructor M1 C Con_Leaf U1 -- Node, with information about the constructor :+: M1 C Con_Node ( -- Constructor argument, which could have information -- about a record selector label M1 S NoSelector ( -- Argument, tagged with P because it is a parameter K1 P a) -- Another argument, tagged with R because it is -- a recursive occurrence of a type :*: M1 S NoSelector (K1 R (UserTree a)) -- Idem :*: M1 S NoSelector (K1 R (UserTree a)) ))
1.1.2 A generic function
Since GHC can represent user types using only those primitive types, all you have to do is to tell GHC how to serialize each of the individual primitive types. The best way to do that is to create a new type class:
class GSerialize f where gput :: f a -> [Bin]
instance GSerialize U1 where gput U1 = []
The serializing multiple arguments is simply the concatenation of each of the individual serializations:
instance (GSerialize a, GSerialize b) => GSerialize (a :*: b) where gput (a :*: b) = gput a ++ gput b
The case for sums is the most interesting, as we have to record which alternative we are in. We will use a 0 for left injections and a 1 for right injections:
instance (GSerialize a, GSerialize b) => GSerialize (a :+: b) where gput (L1 x) = O : gput x gput (R1 x) = I : gput x
We don't need to encode the meta-information, so we just go over it recursively :
instance (GSerialize a) => GSerialize (M1 i c a) where gput (M1 x) = gput x
instance (Serialize a) => GSerialize (K1 i c a) where gput (K1 x) = put x
1.1.3 Default implementations
We've seen how to represent user types generically, and how to define functions on representation types. However, we still have to tie these two together, explaining how to convert user types to their representation and then applying the generic function.The representation
class Representable0 a where -- Encode the representation of a user datatype type Rep0 a :: * -> * -- Convert from the datatype to its representation from0 :: a -> (Rep0 a) x -- Convert from the representation to the datatype to0 :: (Rep0 a) x -> a
instance Representable0 (UserTree a) where type Rep0 (UserTree a) = RepUserTree a from0 Leaf = L1 U1 from0 (Node a l r) = R1 (a :*: l :*: r) to0 (L1 U1) = Leaf to0 (R1 (a :*: l :*: r)) = Node a l r
putDefault :: (Representable0 a, GSerialize (Rep0 a)) => a -> [Bit] putDefault a = gput (from0 a)
instance (Serialize a) => Serialize (UserTree a) where put = putDefault
1.2 Using GHC's new features
What we have seen so far could all already be done, at the cost of writing a lot of boilerplate code yourself (or spending hours writing Template Haskell code to do it for you). Now we'll see how the new features of GHC can help you.
1.2.1 Deriving representationsThe
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveRepresentable #-} data UserTree a = Node a (UserTree a) (UserTree a) | Leaf deriving Representable0
(Standlone deriving also works fine, and you can use it for types you have not defined yourself, but are imported from somewhere else.) You will need the new DeriveRepresentable language pragma.

Chile has always been among the educational leaders of South America since its public schools and universities rank among the finest. However, a recent study by the University of Chile reveals extensive segregation between wealthy and poor students at all levels of the Chilean educational structure. "You would assume that school is a place for integration," commented researcher, Pablo Valenzuela. "But in reality, our schools are even more segregated, rich from poor, than the neighborhoods we live in." The study confirmed the higher the level of econonomic segregation, the less opportunity poorer children have to rise from poverty.
Valenzuela traces the current economic segregation back to decisions in the 1990s when the idea arose of government subsidies to private schools. As a result of that decision, he says, "students are divided between schools according to their ability to pay. The poorest schols have the highest dropout rates, lowest parental involvement and least qualified teachers."
The study by the University of Chile merely confirms that money, or lack of, determines education more than any other single factor.

The electric car revolution that environmentalists will have hoped for seems to be stalling with one major problem – no one seems interested in buying one.
The government set up a £5,000 electric car grant scheme on 1 January this year and experts hailed 2011 as a "breakthrough year" for the cars as mass-market manufacturers roll out new models. However a parliamentary question this week has revealed that only 534 cars have been registered for the scheme with only 213 of these cars actually on the road. Hardly the explosion of electric vehicles the government would have been hoping for, but considering the extra expense it's hardly surprising. The scheme has been budgeted for up to 8,600 cars throughout the year but with a paltry take-up of the scheme so far, we may see the scheme continue into next year and beyond.
Electric cars are typically one third more expensive than their petrol alternatives with the two highest profile models, the Nissan Leaf (seen above) and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, both costing £28,000. Those promoting the benefits of electric cars claim that electric vehicles can be run for 2p a mile compared to 14p a mile for petrol vehicles. While the Leaf has won plaudits around the globe and had pre-orders of 20,000 units it seems as if in general Britons haven't embraced this new technology – yet. However if we look back a couple of years when only 55 fully electric vehicles were sold in 2009, it is a significant if not meteoric increase.
Experts still believe that the grant will be a success as all nine of the qualifying models become available including the highly popular fully-electric version of Toyota's Prius. Do you think the expected electric vehicle revolution will take off or will people be unwilling to spend the money on the new technology?

The Canisius College rowing team fell to Central Florida on the final day of the Longhorn Invitational on Sunday.
The Knights took all three races, with the Varsity Eight, which was comprised of freshman Amber Giambone, sophomores Molly Murphy, Corrine Kickel, Julie Sciandra and Nora Kennon, seniors Lizabeth McKinney, Allison Braun and Bridget Lazewski, and sophomore coxswain Hannah Blum, keeping it closest. The Griffs finished in 7:12.5 – their fastest time down the course of the weekend – but it wasn't enough to overcome the 6:59.7 time from UCF.
"We knew coming into this regatta that we were racing bigger, faster, more experienced crews," said head coach Joel Furtek. "We're not a 'matchup' sport, so you don't see upsets like you do in basketball. The goal was to see speed to match speed, and to come out of the weekend faster for it. I'm proud that we increased our competitiveness over the weekend and finished with the tightest margins today against a motivated and fast UCF crew."
The Varsity Four raced first once again on Sunday. Freshmen Jenni Vinci, Lauren Bielby and Jordan Szustak, sophomore Nicole Littlejohn and freshman coxswain Kaitlyn Taylor finished the 2,000-meter course in 8:31.04 – four seconds faster than their time Saturday night. The Knights Varsity Four came in at 7:44.70.
"It's been a long hard trip for our crew, with five races in our first 10 days on the water. We've certainly exposed our weak points and I'm excited to attack them with our team when we return to Buffalo and our regular racing season," Furtek said. "We'll see our conference foes in 2 weeks and will get a chance to race against UCF and SMU again the following week, so we can gauge progress as we get more time on the water. Our youth makes every row a great opportunity to get better."
The Second Varsity Eight of freshmen Mikaela Braun, Chanel Davis, Erin Grim and Liz DelBarba, sophomores Megan Walsh and Ashley Tylenda, junior Liz Reinwald, senior Meghan Martin and sophomore coxswain Jordan Bamrick, raced to a time of 7:33.51, 34 seconds behind the UCF crew.
Sunday's races bring a close to Canisius' 10-day trip to Texas, which saw the Griffs' compete five times (twice in Dallas and three times in Austin) as well as getting their first practice time on the water this season.
"For now, we're good tired and ready for some rest, and a little Texas BBQ," Furtek said.
Canisius will return to action April 5, at the Sacred Heart Invitational.

Union Leader Correspondent | December 16. 2013 7:56PM
On the other hand, more people are seeking help from St. Joseph's Our Daily Bread Food Pantry, which benefits from the donations left at the light show put on by Luke Dobson, 15.
Cronin said the pantry distributes three days of food - or nine meals - for each person who asks for assistance. She added the majority of requests come from older residents and families with children.

©2006 Jonathan Haidt; (P)2007 Gildan Media
"I don't think I've ever read a book that laid out the comtemporary understanding of the human condition with such simple clarity and sense." (The Guardian, UK)
"A delightful book...by some margin the most intellectually substantial book to arise from the 'positive psychology' movement." (Nature)
"Fascinating stuff, accessibly expressed." (Booklist)
"Exceptional synthesis of psychology and philosophy"
The publisher's title for and capsule summary of "The Happiness Hypothesis" doesn't do full justice to the exceptional range of learning, research, and wisdom that combine in this book. It's not pop psychology or a generic self-help book: Haidt is a professor in the Psychology Department at the U. of Virginia, and a leading researcher in the "moral emotions". His working hypothesis is that human moral systems have underpinnings in evolutionary biology, but he's as far from being a reductionist as possible. Instead he believes it's impossible to understand morality, and by extension happiness, without examining their history in human cultures and religions.
Haidt covers a tremendous range of interwoven topics: the history of Western moral philosophy; ideas of virtue and the sacred in Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism; child development and parent-child bonding in relation to the moral emotions; modern neuroscience and the biological foundations of behavior; and the role of trauma and adversity in personal growth. He is especially gifted at explaining things in everyday language, avoiding jargon and carefully defining and illustrating new terminology.
George Wilson's narration is clear and paced appropriately, and he's solid on technical terms, foreign names, and so on. He gets a chance now and then to show his skill in creating voices for extended quotations from Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and William James.
"You must read this book"
It's not really a self help book at all, it's more like a guide to the human brain, if you ever wonder why you think you are so much different then everybody else, this book will explain why you are not and why you are almost exactly like the rest of us, it also tells us what brain functions make us believe in religion, and so much more, I rate this book a must read, even if you have no knowledge about brain anatomy and functions.
The book offers some insight into early philosophy and it draws parallels to modern brain research, but that part is just publicity.
Other must read books Phantoms in the brain Ramachandran, origin of species Darwin
"Best Book on the Subject"
Tying in the wisdom of ancient philosophers and religions' teachings, Haidt masterfully creates an argument that we are more in control of our happiness than we could ever imagine. He connects how our brains work with why we think like we do. He explains 'elevation': an emotion I have often where I feel a rush of adrenaline and tear up when seeing/hearing masterfully done art or wondrous natural scenes like the Grand Canyon, but never understood until now.
In addition to teaching the science, Haidt also outlines possible approaches you might take to be more happy such as how to structure your day and to be more aware of your successes and to celebrate them. He looks at wealth, disability, sex, children, love and more to show how they influence (or not) one's happiness.
"Very good book, very good narrator"
The author has great insights on how the mind works and how did we get this far.. And the evolutionary traits that are still with us from the past, and how that influences our behavior today. Even though it helps understanding ourselves a lot, I would not call it self help, but something beyond that. Really happy about listening rather than reading too, since the narrator is great and gets you completely immersed in the narrative. In summary, way better than I expected - so much that I took the time to write this review. :)
"Must Read"
One of the best books I have read this year, a must read. A lot of current psychological research on the human condition presented along with a good dose of ancient wisdom and philosophy. It's not just a self help book on happiness - but gives a comprehensive picture of what it's all about.
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"A Very Good Book..."
with a very interesting turn on Darwinian psychology/sociology. Haidt does a deft and often humorous job of translating current neo-Darwinian science of the mind into lay terms (though he is not as deft or humorous as Steven Pinker--whose books are better), and his metaphors for how the mind works and for how the mind works in a complex society are well crafted. I did have a couple of reservations: the first is his breezy treatment of drugs like Prozac and Paxil as treatment for "everyday" anxiety and depression (that is, problems not bad enough to be labelled "disorder" in correlation with the DSM-IV description)--despite a vast amount of evidence regarding what sometimes amount to devastating side effects, especially in children and young adults, and the incredible over-medication of our society at large, Haidt encourages use of such drugs for NOS anxiety and depression without reservation. Also, if you have read Pinker, Wright, Dawkins, Dennett, or many of the other current Darwinian psychologists, you are going to have encountered A LOT of this stuff before. When explaining Darwinian psychology and sociology, Haidt doesn't bring a lot of new stuff to the table--unless this is the first book on the topic that you have read. The same old examples, ants, bats, etc... But these are relatively minor complaints... the application of the Darwinian style of seeing the human mind in regard to happiness and the use of ancient wisdom to back up his points make this book well worth reading.
"Unhappy? Listen to this"
This book offers a great look into what makes people happy, while at the same time illuminating some elements that may be keeping you from reaching your happiness potential. This insight, coupled with practical solutions offered in the book, provide real means for increasing one's day-to-day level of happiness. A fantastic listen for anyone interested in the way we think and perceive the world around us!
"Jonathan Haidt is a genius"
I usually choose to listen to novels but I am so glad that I loaded this one up! I bought the book first but was having trouble finding time to read it (and, quite frankly, novels kept getting in the way) so I decided to try out the audio version. George Wilson brought this text to life and helped me see the genius of Jonathan Haidt. Understanding human relationships is a passion for me and this book has brought new insights to my search for wisdom. Highly recommended!!!
"Must Read"
This book was enlightening, informing and entertaining. It is by far the best nonfiction listening I have ever experienced. Moreover I found the information in it delightful conversation starters. His analysis of philosophical, religeous, and social history as it relates to modern research on the function of the brain was astounding. Whether you agree with him or not, this is one you have to listen to.
"Very very good book"
This is my favorite genre and I've come to expect either somewhat labored attempts at humor, painfully long examples, or a dead dull list of facts. This book is different. Every sentence and chapter is interesting and meaningful. There is a great mix of psychology and philosophy - of insight and thought provoking ideas. This is the best book I've listened to (or read) in a long time.
"Different, leads you to new understandings"
I loved this audiobook. Though it is long, it is never boring and I found myself hanging on for the next passage. This marries neuroscience, psychology and spiritual teachings from many sources. It is full of Eureka moments where I learned the how and why and the processes whereby we make decisions and judgments. I particularly liked the discussion of unconscious decision making. Very highly recommended
A wonderful insight into what it is to be human. The best guide on how to achieve happiness that I have ever read, and it really breaks new ground in that it is based on good science. This is not pop-psych motivational book, it provides the reader with an understanding of how the brain works, and how to apply this knowledge to the pursuit of happiness. Be warned - this book will challenge your current beliefs especially your confidence that you see the naked truth about anything...
"This book unravels a world of blah on the subject"
Understanding what makes people happy - and has led me on to a new programme of personal change
"An Excellent Book"
Well worth the money. An excellent insight into what it is to be happy and the human condition.
"Bad Title"
The title suggests this is will be a floaty coagulation of self-help cosmic consciousness hippy claptrap that uses the word 'quantum' all the time and tells you that anything is possible if only you ask the universe nicely. Rest assured, that is not this book. The writing is clear and informative and the commentary is incisive, well presented and succinctly phrased. Perhaps it falls a little short of being an 'important' book but it is certainly worth the read and even connoisseurs of the human condition will discover new avenues of thought that cast the subject of 'happiness' in a novel light. Recommended.
"Not too religious"
An interesting and fairly comprehensive look various theories and philosophies that have been adopted throughout history in the context of the latest thinking.
The chapter on work
It doesn't really have scenes. It is more like a series of lectures on how to lead a good or fulfilling life.
Nope, it requires a bit of concentration, but that is because the concepts being discussed make you think. The writing and presentation is very clear.
"Astonshingly Good"
Brings together a mountain of work on positive psychology, happiness, behavioural economics and evolutionary psychology as well as Haidts work on morals and a range of religious traditions to offer a practical and readable account of what a good life might look like, why we find it so hard to make ourselves "better" and what we can do about it. If you're a fan of the likes of Shawn Achor, Daniel Kahneman, Martin Selligman and Brene Brown this is a must.
"Yes, a very good listen"
Entertaining broad swathing philosophical and psychologial review of humanity. Entertaining broad swathing philosophical and psychologial review of humanity.
this book is a must read for anyone in a position of influence. very well structured and very enlightening! it has helped me contextualise my own place in the world.
"Stick with it - very insightful"
I found it a bit tough to get in to at the start, but was absolutely rewarded for persevering. Very insightful and balanced with excellent references from through the ages and applied to today's context. Am planning to buy a hard copy so I can dip in and out and reference it in the future

Green Bay Travels to Rumble With Raiders
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After falling to Detroit in a tough 1-0 home loss in the Horizon League opener Sept. 22, Green Bay (3-6-0) will travel to Wright State (6-2-3) and look to get back on track against a tough Raiders team on Friday. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. at Alumni Field.
Despite going 0-2 over the last two games, Green Bay has played impressive defense and competed well with successful teams. The Phoenix battled defending Missouri Valley Conference Champions Illinois State (6-2-2) evenly for 78 minutes of play before the Redbirds found the net a second time in a 2-1 loss on Sept. 19. In the Horizon League opener against Detroit (4-4-1) last Saturday, sophomore goalkeeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) made a season-high eight saves in a 1-0 loss highlighted by strong defensive play on both sides.
Wright State enters the game on a three-game winning streak, highlighted by a 5-0 win over IPFW Sept. 24. The Raiders have just one loss over their last seven games. During that time, the team has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 13-5.
The Phoenix will return home to face Indiana State in a nonconference noon game Sept. 30, and then travel back to Ohio Oct. 3 to face Cleveland State in a 4 p.m. duel.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Links for live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com for the Phoenix game against the Raiders.
SOLID DEFENSE: Although 0-2 in its previous two games the Phoenix defense, often made up of four freshmen players, has shown significant improvement from the beginning of the season and has held high-scoring teams in check. With eight saves against Detroit, Pilarzyk now has 37 on the season.
TO PLAY: Wright State holds a 13-5-3
all-time lead over Green Bay, including a 7-1-3 record at home. The last time
Green Bay won at Alumni Field was Oct. 16, 1994.
EXTRA TIME WITH TREVOR WARREN: Warren will be sharing insights into the women's
soccer program on regular episodes of Extra
Time with Trevor Warren on GreenBayPhoenix.com. To watch, click here.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay returns home for a nonconference matchup

HANOVER, N.H.—The Bellarmine University lacrosse team scored three goals in the span of just 14 seconds in the early stages of the fourth quarter to go ahead of the Dartmouth Big Green by three and held on to win 12-10 in a non-conference Division I game at Scully Fahey Field.
Bellarmine improves to an even 2-2, while Dartmouth suffers its first loss of season and falls to 2-1.
For Bellarmine, the win was significant for several reasons. First, they were playing short on rest due to their game against Loyola being delayed from Friday to Saturday due to severe weather. Perhaps more significant was the fact that the Knights got a road win over a quality opponent .
"(Dartmouth) is a very good team," said Bellarmine Coach Kevin Burns. "They have beaten some pretty good teams already this year. "I'm really happy with our guys; they fought for the entire 60 minutes. I thought this was our most complete game of the year," he added.
Bellarmine's Michael Ward picked up the hat trick to lead the Knights in scoring, while Mike Olentine of Dartmouth claimed game-high points with three goals and two assists.
The game was tight throughout, as neither team could claim better than a 2-goal lead. Bellarmine enjoyed a 4-3 halftime lead, but Dartmouth scored three straight to take a 6-5 lead with 6:14 remaining the third period.
After the teams traded goals, freshman Robert Schmitt scored his first goal of the season (and his career) as time expired in the third quarter.
Bellarmine's burst in the fourth quarter gave the Knights a 10-7 lead with 11:37 remaining in the game. Facing their biggest deficit of the game, the Big Green rallied for two straight goals to trim the margin to one. Ward and Ryan Scinta added goals inside of two minutes to reestablish a 3-goal lead. The Big Green's Olentine added a goal with 47 seconds remaining to make the final 12-10.
"Up and down the lineup, I thought everyone played pretty well," Burns said. "Andrew Bulgarelli did a nice job with face-offs today. I think it's the first time this year we've been over 50 percent."
Burns also singled out Jay Desnoyers for postgame accolades. "(Desnoyers) got the start today and not only did he get his first collegiate goal, but he got his first two goals."
Bellarmine was outshot 41-29 on the day, but the Knights owned a 39-22 advantage in ground balls. The visitors also held a 15-11 edge in face-offs won.
The Knights are back in action Feb. 17, when they travel to Ann Arbor to face ECAC newcomer Michigan for a 3 p.m. game. Because Michigan is in its provisional year, the game will not count in the conference standings.


text: I am planning on entering into a TEFL certification program offered by my local university. It only requires, however, 18 credit hours to complete the program. The plan is to take 9 credit hours, 3 classes, per semester for 2 semesters. This doesn't seem like much to me. What is the norm, or the average for such a certification program?
