Part Two: The Fate of Huan
The mingled lights of Telperion and Laurelin shone off the lean bodies of the hounds, and glinted on the hair of my brother Tyelkormo as he spoke to his newest hunter, Huan. It was Huan's first hunt today, and Tyelkormo had spoken ceaselessly of nothing else for days, until both Carnistir and Father had told him to hold his tongue, they had heard enough about our family's disgrace, the endless fountain of drool. Father had even said that perhaps Lord Oromë had given him to Tyelkormo in the desire to bring shame to him and our family, and that anyone who would raise such a beast was not one to be trusted. I heartily agreed with him on the last part, but what I had not told him was that the gift of Huan would have been out of a desire to shame me and not Tyelkormo. As far as I was concerned, that was something no one was ever going to find out either.
There was only one who could tell otherwise, and that person would be joining us for our hunt, which would begin as the last lights of Telperion faded from the star-strewn sky, and the silver light of Laurelin shone unrivaled over the verdant landscape: the great hunter and lord of the Valar, Oromë.
Tyelkormo and I would run our hounds today, along withboth Ambarussas and many others. I hoped Oromë would not realize that Huan did not follow my horn, but my brother's. It was possible, as there were so many hounds, that he would not even realize Huan was there. . .
I ran my hand over my hair. No, Huan had a way of making himself noticed.
I started to smooth my hair again, but forced myself to stop and turned to check the girth on my mount. Carnistir had smugly told me that was an anxious gesture of mine, and since then I had tried to break the custom.
But not all was unfavorable for me. Carnistir would not be here to notice my habits. He had broken off from the hunt at the last minute, pleading a tryst with a maiden, but I knew he was courting no maiden, and had a trivial suspicion that he simply wanted nothing to do with Huan. Perhaps because the oversized Huan had placed his great, muddy paws on Carnistir's shoulders, enveloping his face with slime, and pushing him into the fountain in the courtyard. After watching Tyelkormo forcibly restrain his brother from throttling the lovable hound who "only wanted to play 'fetch,'" it was no great wonder that the LadyLúrënen was no longer interested in Carnistir's quite amiable company.
I smiled at the memory, ran my hand over my hair, and turned to check the saddle girth for the eleventh time.
Yes, it was still tight.
My horse turned to look at me as if I had taken leave of my senses. I smiled reassuringly.
"Hail, son of Fëanáro!" A voice boomed behind me.
I jumped in spite of myself and spun around. I already knew who it was, and I was half-convinced he bellowed like that because he found secret mirth in startling others.
No, more than half-convinced.
Gathering my scattered thoughts, I bowed civilly, and tucked a few wayward strands of hair behind my ear as I straightened.
"Well met, my lord Oromë," I said, wincing inwardly as I did so. I should not have said "my," simply "Lord Oromë." That I had done otherwise was a sign that my thoughts were not as well collected as I might have wished. Also, that no, the coming night was not going to improve upon the day.
"Well met indeed, Curufinwë," Oromë roared jovially. A little too jovially for my liking. He had walked up without my notice (as I was somewhat distracted), and was now a good deal closer than I liked, standing beside his horse.
I stood firm, refusing to cover my ears, and responded, "We are honored by the company of so great a hunter."
There. That was true enough. I had said nothing about "pleased."
But he seemed to sense something peculiar about my words, and he watched me wordlessly,as if waiting for me to say more. I positioned an affable grin on my face that was as close an approximation of his as I could devise, and tried to think of an appropriate way to phrase my bothersome request, all the while feeling a considerable amount of envy towards the absent Carnistir. I had found Valar were nearly impossible to divert, and harder to comprehend.
And this particular Vala did not trust me, liking me little more than I liked him. I reminded him too much of Father, I believe. He, for his part, was maddeningly shrewd, and I found his company extremely demanding.
"Er," I began.
He nodded encouragingly.
"Uh," I continued, and tugged on the side braid of my hair. This was not going well. He was looking at me decidedly askance.
"Is aught wrong, young Curufinwë?" He asked tolerantly, in a tone that I found rather condescending and quite irritating.
"No!" I snapped, too quickly.
"Ah." His brow cleared. "That is good. I feared something had happened to Huan."
With difficulty I quelled the hysterical giggle that I could feel rising up in my throat.
"Oh. Is that so? How strange." I flattened my hair firmly with my hand and nodded wisely. "Not a premonition, I hope?"
"Nothing of the sort," he answered cheerfully, looking around at the various people and animals milling about, many of whom had by now noticed the arrival of Lord Oromë, and greeted him with bows, smiles, and much yipping.
"But where is the hound?" He asked, turning back to me.
"Hound? Ah. The hound." All my former eloquence seemed to have returned. "That hound. He is with his pack. I am sure you know how difficult he is to contain, so he is running around. Exercising. Drooling. Playing with his friends. Nipping at horses. All that."
"Oh, yes!" The Vala-lord boomed happily. "He is such a nice dog."
"Of course. To be sure. A very nice puppy." I agreed, trying to edge away absently while he rubbed the floppy ears of one of his energetic hounds who were milling about his feet as we spoke.
At my words, he turned to face me fully, and there was no twinkle of merriment in his eyes, but grave concern.
"Are you unwell, young Curufinwë?"
I stopped and stared. Was I unwell? Of course I was not unwell! I was merely trying to tell him something . . . and could not get up the nerve to do it, which was rather disgraceful. I was heartily glad my father was not witnessing my humiliation.
"No, Lord Oromë," I said, calmly and clearly enunciating every syllable and forcing my hands to still their ceaseless movement. "I am well. Huan is well. Tyelkormo is well. Carnistir is well. . ."
I fear I would have gone on to list my entire family, but at that moment the irrepressible Huan interrupted my half-crazed litany.
It was probably the only time at which I was glad to see him.
I found his actions rather pleasing also, as he leaped upon Oromë and began to do his best to cover him in slobber. That, at least, was one thing he was very good at. Oromë laughed his booming laugh and pushed him down.
Huan immediately sunk his teeth into one of his old master's boots and began tugging joyfully, wagging his tail furiously all the while.
I took a deep breath. I was going to have to tell Oromë before Tyelkormo did.
At that moment, a piercing whistle sounded from the other side of the company, and Huan immediately left Oromë's damaged boot and ran to his master.
Oromë's brow furrowed.
I clenched my teeth.
"It is not your horn that he follows," he said softly. It was not a question.
He stared at me curiously.
"Why not?" he boomed.
My mind raced frantically.
"BecauseHuantookaninstantlikingtoTyelkormo. Youknowhowheloves dogsandhowcouldIparttwofriendswhowereobviouslyfatedtohunttogether? Iamnotthatcold-hearted.IjusthadtogivehimtoTyelkormo."
Oromë blinked once and then spoke slowly as if speaking to a newly-born child. "Would you be so kind as to repeat that?"
If I could have glared at him, I would have, but since I thought it best not to antagonize Valar more than was obligatory, I had to content myself with slowly repeating my words. "Huan liked Tyelkormo as soon as he saw him. Tyelkormo is very fond of dogs, much more so than I am, and I believe Huan could sense that. Tyelkormo thought Huan was magnificent also, so since he was my brother, and you know how adorable Huan can be when he wants something, I graciously gave Huan to Tyelkormo. I thought they were fated to hunt together."
"I see." Oromë beamed at me. "You seem to have been right. Huan looks well-kept and happy.
I bowed as if I had something to do with that, and hoped Oromë did not realize he had just received the discreet version of events, unlikely though it was.
"I go to greet your brother now. Good hunting, young Curufinwë," he said, and in an instant, turned away and swung onto the back of his great horse, Nahar.
Oh, no.
"Wait," I cried, all but panicked. He paused. Ai, but I hated this!
The breeze tousled my hair and I smoothed it out again before speaking. "I would be thankful if you do not inform Tyelkormo that you gave Huan to me. I did not tell him, for I did not want him to feel that the friendship between themwas any sort of an imposition upon me."
"If that is your wish," he agreed. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then his eyes twinkled. "I will not tell Nolofinwë either," he added, and wheeling Nahar, they cantered away from me.
I glared furiously at his retreating form. I entirely agreed with Father.
Valar are sly and manipulative. And Valar are not to be trusted!
Nolofinwë must have told him what had happened. My own family certainly would not have and he was the only other one who knew (at least, I hoped). I wondered how much he had understood of what I had left unsaid. It was not for many years afterwards, when my father congratulated me upon my quick thinking, that I realized the only person I had fooled was myself.
The nightmarish memory of the day Ireceived Huan was still firmly imprinted upon my mind.
My uncle Nolofinwë half carrying me into the courtyard of our home while I dragged Huan, who had his teeth firmly clenched around the lead of my uncle's horse, was too humiliating to ever forget or forgive. I was covered in dog slobber, dirt caked my face, and there was a new and unsightly gap in my upper row of teeth. A pair of round hoof prints adorned my back and my forehead, and a set of paw prints adorned the front of my tunic. Needless to say, I feel distinctly sorry for anyone left at the tender mercies of Huan the Hound, even for so brief a period asthe hour it had takenus to journey home.
But I fear Father did not feel very sorry for me when I was deposited before him, along with my uncle's annoyed request that my father look after me better, as I was evidently unable to take care of myself or my mongrels.
was largely, though not entirely accurate), but he was not in the mood to listen. I can see him now, glaring at my uncle from the top of the marble steps, with my mother and Maitimo standing in the background, she looking inclined to both laugh and to cry, and he nearly weeping with mirth.
Then he turned his terrible gaze upon me, and the struggling Huan in my arms.
"If it is not a mongrel," he enquired acerbically, "what is it?"
Looking around the courtyard, at the half-amused, half-mortified Nolofinwë, at the scandalized Carnistir, the evil, evil horse of Nolofinwë, and finally Tyelkormo's smirking face, I was seized with an inspiration.
Laughing inwardly, I picked up the gaping, slobbering, frantically scrambling, sad-excuse-for-a-miserable-mongrel called Huan and thrust it at Tyelkormo, saying, "It is a gift from Oromë!"

Children should study the arts till 16
Ministers should consider making pupils study the arts up to the age of 16 amid concerns that cultural education in England is still "patchy", a government-commissioned report has said.
It warns that there is concern about how much the coalition government values cultural education in schools, adding that this has been partly caused by the introduction of the English Baccalaureate (EBacc).
To achieve the EBacc pupils must gain at least a C in English, maths, science, a foreign language and history or geography. However, it does not include other arts subjects such as dance, drama, design or music.
In his review of cultural education, Darren Henley suggests including a "sixth group" within the EBacc to cover these subjects.
Hm. What do you think about this? My view is that some people just do not flourish at arts- type subjects, or not as they are currently taught, they haven't got that kind of brain. I think 14 is a sensible kind of time to be giving teenagers some control over what they study from there on in and to start to specialise a little (so language heavy, or humanities heavy, or whatever...) Insisting on an art will guarantee failure for some children IMO.
But the eBacc. insists on a humanity doesn't it? And a language. So isn't it just fair and right to put an art up there on a level par?
On the other hand again, if we start prescribing too many must have subjects, one loses the choice element, after all kids can only do so many GCSE's!

UTSA falls to Rice, 27-21
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Rice defense stifled the UTSA passing game and Darik Dillard's 4-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave Rice the lead for good in a 27-21 victory over UTSA on Saturday.
Going into the fourth quarter, Rice (4-2, 3-0 Conference USA) led 27-7 after holding Eric Soza to only 32 yards passing.
UTSA was able to close the deficit after the Owls switched to a prevent scheme, giving the Roadrunners room to throw the ball.
Taylor McHargue was 9 of 21 for 183 yards and one touchdown.
UTSA (2-5, 1-2) led 7-6 in the second quarter when the game turned on a muffed punt return. Crosby Adams collided with returner Kenny Harrison and Rice recovered on the Roadrunner 16-yard line. The Owls went ahead 13-7 on Dillard's run three plays later.
The Roadrunners had 264 yards on the ground and outgained the Owls 434-340 in total yards.

It is never easy when you put time and love into an animal, see them go from that place of darkness and sadness to being able to offer something so wonderful and so needed for another person! Try maybe to think of it in this way. You rescued him, showed him that life can be so wonderful that he can now go on and show someone who cannot face the world alone that they will be okay. That he will be there to help guide them through that darkness and back to the light, just as he was shown when you took him from that bad situation and gave him the love he deserved. <3
This is an absolutely selfless thing to do and because of your willingness to let him be matched with someone in need, you are completely changing two lives. It isn't easy. I have wanted to help with puppy raising for service work, especially with how my boy who I raised from day one has become more than merely my dog. He's my partner, my other half and without him, I'm not the same person as I am with him around. Service dogs give someone so much while asking for so little in return.
Just sit back and think of what will be, what his journey will now do. Of course you will miss him and it hurts to see him go, but what you are doing is such an amazing thing. You in a way are being an angel to someone in need by giving them Keeno. I have little doubt this woman will be so happy and feel so blessed. The ability to live without episodes, without fear and anxiety... It's truly priceless.
What an amazing job you've allowed him! There will always be some mixed emotions. He will probably miss you, but will be happy to have another good family. The vet will most likely be very grateful to have such an loving friend in Keeno to help her through. Bless your heart!

|I think it is an awesome thing you are doing, it will make such a difference to the persons life, and Keeno will have a great job.
|Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My daughter has a service dog from a very reputable agency. We are still close to the couple who raised her dog the first 18 months (puppy raisers). They follow my daughter and support her in many ways. I know this is very hard, but trust me, you are making such an impact on this vet's life.
|Bless you....

Keeno is going into a Service Dog Program for veterans
thanks for all your support. Keeno is 2 1/2 yrs. old. I rescued him 11 months ago and brought him back to good health. I had him neutered and got him all his vaccinations. He was barely fed when he lived at the other place.Right now he is outside playing with my golden retriever and wacky little beagle. I just hope he knows how much I do love him.One minute I am happy for him and the next minute I am sad. but too..
|I can understand what feelings you are going through and what different emotions you will feel both good and bad for letting your pup go and do this amazing thing, I am unsure of how old he is as I am a newbie to both site and GSD, but if anything like my children, no matter what their age they will always be your babies! My eldest daughter left home last year got married and moved to a different country, so yes I do have a little idea of the seperation anxiety you will encounter but if you focus on all the good... the positives, it will keep this big grin on your face for sure (Big hugs)
|What a wonderful thing that you've done...
|Keeno Beano
Keeno is going into a Service Dog Program for veterans
I am feeling sad Keeno is leaving even though I am doing the right thing it is still eating at me. My fear is that he thinks I have deserted him. We do not know what they are capable of thinking. I do not know how the people that raise the seeing eye pups get through this. Keeno is a wonderful dog and 100% Czech working line. He is so intelligent and intuitive he will make his veteran feel safe and secure. He loves to be on the go all the time. Being with his veteran is just what he needs ad he will be going every where with his person. No more dogs for me. Nope.
|Keeno Beano
Keeno is going into Service Dog Program for veterans
Thank-you Moriah that means alot to me. I look at Keeno sleeping on the couch beside me and I feel sad but so proud of him at the same time. Monday will be hard though. He has been selected for a lady veteran who has a bad case of PTSD and he will watch out for her and love her when she is stressed or just down in the dumps......

XOXO to Sodexo – For Taking a Stand for Millions of Hens
Today, with Sodexo, we are announcing that the giant food service company has committed, over the next five years, to switch all 20 million pounds of its liquid eggs to cage-free. The company manages dining operations at thousands of colleges, universities, hospitals, and corporate dining centers across the country. Due to its enormous size, this will remove 750,000 hens from battery cages per year and put them into cage-free settings. This announcement comes after prior announcements from the company to switch to cage-free for its 39 million shell eggs – which provides a better living for an additional 150,000 birds.

Deja Vu: Keifer Sykes Wins 5th Player of the Week Award in 2013-14
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – For the second time in 2013-14, Green Bay junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week in back-to-back weeks. After averaging 27.5 points, seven assists and six rebounds in road wins at Chicago State and Milwaukee, Sykes earned the honor for the fifth time in 2013-14 and ninth time in his career, the league office announced on Monday.
With five weekly honors as a junior, Sykes ties the Horizon League record for Horizon League Player of the Week awards in a season. The nine in his three-year career are the second-most in conference history, behind only Detroit's Rashad Phillips, who had 10. Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has won two weekly awards this season, giving Green Bay winners in seven of the 10 weeks the conference has handed out a Player of the Week award.
Sykes started his week with an efficient 21-point, nine-assist performance in Green Bay's 98-62 victory at Chicago State on Tuesday night. He made 9-of-13 shots from the field and committed just two turnovers in 29 minutes of action.
On Sunday, he took his game to another level in a 93-86 overtime victory at Milwaukee. The 5-foot-11 point guard scored 23 of his career-high 34 points after halftime. He scored seven points during a 10-3 closing run to force overtime, including the game-tying layup with 43 seconds to play.
Against Milwaukee, Sykes played 43 minutes without committing a turnover, grabbed a career-high eight rebounds and added five assists. After starting just 4-of-14 from the field, he made 9-of-12 shots during a second-half stretch in which he tallied 21 points. The performance included a season-high three makes from long range.
For the season, Sykes is now averaging 20.5 points and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 50.7 percent from the field. He ranks 22nd nationally in scoring and is the nation's only player to boast averages of 20-plus points and 5-plus assists per game while shooting over 50 percent from the field.
In the Horizon League, Sykes ranks first in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio, second in scoring, eighth in free-throw percentage, ninth in steals and 11th in field goal percentage.
In 80 career games, Sykes has scored 1,202 points to rank 16th on the program's all-time scoring ledger. On Sunday, he passed former Phoenix standouts Joe Mauel, Ryan Evanochko and Matt Rohde.
With eight-straight wins, a 13-3 overall record and a 3-0 mark in Horizon League play, head coach Brian Wardle's team continues its four-game road trip on Friday night at 6 p.m. against Wright State. The contest will be televised nationally by ESPNU.
All tickets for the 2013-14 men's basketball season are on sale now. For more information about season tickets, ticket packages and more, please visit the ticketing page at GreenBayPhoenix.com.For the latest and most up-to-date information on Green Bay Athletics, please visit GreenBayPhoenix.com.

Arsène Wenger plans to build on Arsenal's British core over the coming years - because he says the country is producing more and more quality players.
The likes of Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are now key members of the Gunners' first-team squad.
And Wenger hopes to bring through even more young homegrown stars in the future due to improving standards on these shores.
"Before we had young players like Fabregas and Nasri," he said. "Now we have some good young British players for the first time in the group - Gibbs, Ramsey, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain for example. We have a core of young players that we want to build on.
"We are still only focused on quality but for the first time England produces so much quality. It's not that I have changed. For me the quality is the most important thing."
Wenger believes it is important for the future of European football to develop as many homegrown players as possible.
"My dream was always to produce 60 per cent English and 40 per cent foreign young players," he said.
"Honestly it's a real problem in Europe that you [must] face by education, because the education usually is the investment of the local country and so you need a certain share.

Roddy and Kiehne named 2012 Law Day Competition champions
PHOTO RELEASE (March 14, 2012) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates Law Day Competition champions Dion Roddy and Michael Kiehne.
Moot Court held the final round of its 2012 Law Day Competition on March 6 in Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium. This year student competitors addressed a white-collar crime issue, the collective entity doctrine and the pervasive fraud doctrine.
Runners-up were Dylan Holland and Olivia Vervanke. Judges were Justice Marilyn J. Kelly, '71, Dean Robert Ackerman and Professor Peter Henning.
"The moot court competition is important to me as a law student and future lawyer because it puts me in a position where I have to think on my feet," Roddy said. "While preparation helped me to foresee questions the judges might ask, I could never predict exactly where they would go with questions, and whether they would ask any questions at all. The competition helped me prepare a legal argument keeping all kinds of contingencies in mind. Also, arguing in front of other attorneys, professors and eventually a Michigan Supreme Court justice gave me an opportunity to get over the nervousness of arguing in front of experienced legal professionals before I begin practicing. It is one less thing I have to worry about when I start working as an attorney."
Added Kiehne: "I received invaluable feedback on my writing and oral advocacy skills throughout this competition. It allowed me to hone my ability to craft solid arguments and rebut the opposition's contentions."
Additional results included:
1st Place Advocate: Steven Craig
2nd Place Advocate: Amy Fredrickson
3rd Place Advocate: Dylan Holland
1st Place Brief: Elizabeth Andary
2nd Place Brief: Jessica Wayne
3rd Place Brief: Nick Ranke

Viruses are found on or in just about every material and environment on Earth from soil to water to air. They're basically found anywhere there are cells to infect. Viruses have evolved to infect every form of life, from animal to plant and from fungi to bacteria.
However, viruses tend to be somewhat picky about what type of cells they infect. Plant viruses are not equipped to infect animal cells, for example, though a certain plant virus could infect a number of related plants. Sometimes, a virus may infect one creature and do no harm, but cause havoc when it gets into a different but closely enough related creature.
For example, the Hantavirus is carried by deer mice without much noticeable effect on the rodents. But if Hantavirus gets into a person, it causes a dramatic and frequently deadly disease marked by excessive bleeding.
True parasites, viruses are basically little more than molecular syringes moving genetic information from one cell to another.
Some viruses enter a host and leave virtually unnoticed. Others cause disease and destroy the host.

With Satya Nadella now warming the CEO seat at Microsoft, executive recruiters can shift their attention to another cloud leader — Rackspace — who bids adieu to its 14-year leader, Lanham Napier. While both companies are clearly cloud platform leaders chasing the same competitor, the similarities in the top job stop there. Rackspace's needs in a CEO center more around how it tells its story than concerns about its strategy.
Where Microsoft is struggling to ensure its ongoing relevancy in a world that is shifting away from the desktop and the on-premise enterprise, Rackspace has strong cloud credibility. Its issues are more around the fact that it isn't a cloud pure play, isn't another managed services cloudwasher, isn't an incumbent enterprise IT supplier, and no longer runs OpenStack. So if you're looking for companies to compare it to in order to value its stock, there aren't good comparisons. And if you're looking for metrics to use to judge its success, the ones being disclosed don't paint a rosy picture. If you want to understand Rackspace, you'll have to really understand the company and why it isn't what it isn't. So let's start there:

Dolphin Music's Buying Guide to Soundcards
16 10 2006 02:59
You'll need to get sounds into and out of your computer when producing music, so some kind of 'interface' should be on your shopping list. You might think that you already have the necessary connections, but many of today's interfaces come with multiple inputs and outputs (for recording bands and outputting to multi-channel surround systems), bundled software, on board sounds and, in some cases, much more, so really are worthy and cost-effective additions to your computer music set-up. In this part of the Dolphin Computer Music guide we'll discuss all of the interfacing options currently available…
22 03 2005 02:43
Choosing a Soundcard or audio interface is one of the hardest and most complicated decisions when building your home studio. Why?

Washington, DC—(Dec. 19, 2012) The US Department of Transportation gathered interests that included key individuals representing organizations working toward the attraction, retention, and advancement of women in transportation last week. The forum, which convened on Dec. 14, 2012, was called "Women in Transportation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Region" and was coordinated by USDOT's Susan Kurland, Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs.
The mission of the forum, which included approximately 75 individuals invited to represent varying interests and experiences in the transportation industry--government, industry, associations, and academia--was to facilitate a discussion about ways to strengthen the role of women in the transportation sector within APEC.
The forum began with a welcome and overview presentations by Ray LaHood, Secretary of Transportation, U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), John Porcari, Deputy Secretary of Transportation, USDOT, forum chair Susan Kurland, and Arlene Turner, Lead Shepherd, APEC Transportation Working Group.
Following the opening remarks were key presentations regarding the current state of women in transportation in the US and preliminary research on the APEC region. The survey of data and trends in APEC economies were present ed by Latifa Lyles, Acting Director, Women's Bureau at the Department of Labor (DOL), and Tonya Giannoni, COO, DevTech Systems, Inc.
Marcia Ferranto, WTS International President and CEO, was an integral member of the panel discussion titled "Promising Practices and Challenges for Women in Transportation in the APEC Region." The full list of panelists included:
- Moderator: Susan Kurland, Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation
- Marlise Streitmatter, Deputy Chief of Staff, USDOT
- Lytana Kids, Vice President of Global Workforce Planning Manager, UPS
- Allison Bondanza, National Center for Intermodal Transportation, University of Denver
- Marcia Ferranto, President and CEO, WTS International
For the working session of the forum, Bryna Helfer, Director of Public Engagement, USDOT, broke the forum guests into eight distrinct groups that brainstormed actionable ideas to strengthen the role of women in transportation. The facilitated exercise generated conversations and possible partnerships to leverage successful programs in the US and abroad.
Forum participants will meet several more times to take the results of the initial forum to the next level of fruition.

Brodit Adjustable Active Holder 521629
Brodit Adjustable Active Holder 521629
Brodit Adjustable Active Holder 521629
Brodit Adjustable Active Holders are designed to securely hold a range of smartphones or PDA devices.
The arms on the holder can be loosened and tightened via the screws on the front, providing a range of widths.
Grooves are cut into the arms, which will allow the phone to rest neatly without movement.
Once installed, full 360 degree rotation is available, along with a wide angle adjustment. This lets you set your device at the perfect angle to suit your driving style.
Using the included USB cable, you can keep the handset topped up with charge on the move. This can be secured to the base of the holder, perfect for devices with a bottom-mounted USB port.
Also included is a 12V vehicle power adapter. This lets you charge the phone in the holder if you do not have a USB port fitted to the dash.
Adjustable holders can be mounted to Brodit Proclips. Simple to install, you can quickly fit a Brodit holder to your vehicle without professional help.
If you know the specific Brodit part code you require, please type this in at the checkout after adding this product to the basket.
If you are unsure of the specific Brodit code, then try using our integrated tool to find the right holder.
Once fitted you can drive legally with your phone clipped in place, the high-quality secure tilt-swivel mechanism allowing you to minimally adjust the viewing angle until you find the sweet spot that suits your driving style.
Each holder has a soft felt interior to avoid any scratches to your phone, with grooves cut exactly to its shape and securely hold it in place.
Passive holders do not charge the phone, although space is always left so you can run your own charging cable to the phone, alongside any other cables you may use for audio or external antennae.
Combine a Brodit Passive Holder with a Brodit Proclip to safely install into any one of thousands of supported vehicles on the dash, vents, center console or driver's side pillar.
You can buy a Brodit holder without a ProClip, although if this is your first Brodit product you will likely need one.
ProClips are made in hundreds of shapes, each one suitable for a mounting position in a specific vehicle. On Brodit's website, you can use the ProClip finding tool to work out which you will need.
Once the ProClip is installed, the Brodit holder mounts on top of it. This allows you to easily swap Holders if you get a new phone, without having to pay full price again.
You can also use a MoveClip to easily swap Holders between vehicles that have ProClips installed.
ProClips are cheap too, so if you get a new car you can just order the ProClip to fit, rather than a whole new holder.
ProClips can be purchased separately HERE.
Proclips are ordered on request due to the large range of vehicles that are supported. There is generally a lead time of 7-14 days for these items. You will be informed of any extended delays.

Marker: Bob Long Closer
Condition: 9/10, a few small scuffs on the body. Just a few minor scratches, but nothing even big enough to show up in a picture (trust me, I tried). There is also a small scratch on the reg, some very slight anno wear on the snatch grip, and a very minor ding on the front of the body. I'm probably making it sound way worse than it really is.
Color: Gold/black
Upgrades: Supercharged, Tadao Yakuza OLED, Violent trigger, Cam Drive asa, 4c eyes (stock), .685/.688 backs with a match anno'd tip.
Problems: None, shoots awesome. The macroline leaks a little when you air it up, but just wiggle it a little and it goes away. I'd cut a fresh piece, but I don't have any extra macro right now.
Shipping: USPS
Trades: Mags and cockers! A micromag with a crazy factory anno takes priority over everything.
What is included: Gun, .685/.688 backs and front, and pressure tester.
Edit: It will now come with a gloss black NDZ twister asa instead of the cam drive. I also just realized that I lost the spring for one of the detents...It shoots fine without though. I have another one ordered.
I just got this in a trade, and it shoots great, but I hate to see such a nice gun sit in my bag every weekend while I play pump. I would be interested in guns plus cash (anything, mags, cockers, electros), or maybe straight trades. I don't really want to add for anything.

Thank you in advance for you precious comments.

Hey guys, I'm an avid waterfowl hunter, born and raised in South Carolina. I'll be heading up to Delaware....Seaford....over Thanksgiving Break to visit with my wife's family. I was looking for some advice on a guide service in or around the area. Or if anybody wants to show a Southern boy what waterfowl hunting is like up North, I would be more than appreciative.
But in all seriousness, if you guys could give me some tips on who to contact for a possible guide service, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm willing to hunt any species of waterfowl...just need to feed my addiction since I will miss our opening week here in SC.
I appreciate it guys! If any of you are ever down this way, give me a shout and maybe I can show you around some of our stomping grounds. Take care and best of luck this season!

A burnt-out soccer star tries to win back his family but gets distracted by his wandering eye in this romantic comedy starring Gerard Butler. His bank account drained and his libido fatigued, professional soccer player George (Butler) hangs up his cleats and heads back to Virginia. Determined to do right in the eyes of his ex-wife (Jessica Biel) and their lonely son (Noah Lomax), George takes a job coaching a local soccer team and begins working to form the young players into true athletes. But with every cougar in town eyeing him from the sidelines, George finds that staying focused on the job and keeping his prurient impulses in check are easier said than done. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Re: TEXAS CHAINSAW BBQ

oh,wait- It's extremely well done, on-theme, and artistic yet funny. No wonder it's not doing well here at woot.

Re: Hot Dog's Identity Crisis
This is the first time I felt compelled to comment on one of the derby shirts, this is awesome!
Sammy's finger, and a tiny bit of poop are my faves on the ingredients list.
If this wins I will definitely buy one! Even tho I have no idea if I can pull off wearing a hotdog on my shirt, it will be worth it if just ONE person reads the ingredients close enough to get a chuckle!
very nice illustration
I know you think its just a playful pun, it actually pretty offensive to any Christian.

If I could have you change anything, it'd be to have the text be hand written or at least changed to a font that looks hand written.
I thought that about the font too! Handwritten would make it more personal, but in practice it contrasted too much with the clean look of the pig.

Re: By Your Powers Combined!
Wonderful. Great coloring and (non)expressions on the animals.
Best presentation ever. I don't eat meat and I don't like horror movies, so this shirt freaks me out, but dang, is it well done!
Annabananaka7 wrote:this i great! So what if its a copied style? Its called being influenced. Artist grow and develop by starting a copied style. So, everyone stop being a-holes. Its an awesome design and thats what matters. Woot will do the rest. Now, go troll on youtube or somewhere else.
T-shirt art is not about having your own style, it's about making a point. My assumption is that you were trying to say something about Dr. Suess's work which is a common experience for most American children.
The style is completely legitimate for t-shirt art. The reason stuff gets rejected is because Woot has to worry about getting legal challenges which selling a few t-shirts won't pay to defend themselves on, so they just reject anything that they think might give them that problem, no matter how legal it might actually be.

As you are someone who FREQUENTLY complains of a lack of artistry and originality in submissions, I am a little surprised that THIS is what you submit yourself.
It took a 2 second search at the first microstock site I could think of to find several offerings that look almost identical to what you have here.
Are your artistic ideals and "ethics" only supposed to apply to other people?

There are plenty of "break-down" designs, shirts and otherwise, that use the same idea but perhaps a different subject.
I won't claim it's terribly original but in looking around I was surprised there weren't MORE t-shirts playing with this idea.

Resubmitted. I cleaned up some line work, and switched it to the yellow shirt.
This turned out great :-D Nice work, bass!
kylemittskus wrote:My problem with this shirt is that the idea is really old. There's nothing original here.
The fact that there are break-down charts of cuts of beef out there is what makes this T-shirt work so well: as parody.
And every derby has at least one idea that two people come up with. Some are tired, but others times have come -- like this one.
@ThatRobert: I love this. I love how clever it is. I love that you took the suggestion of pointing to the brains and made it your own. I even love that it's on brown.

Every Christian I've showed this to has laughed and found the humor in it. No one has been offended yet, and trust me, they'd tell me if they were. Honestly I held back a little on the design compared to what I could have done
There are lots of shirts in the derby every week that could be taken as offensive by someone. Should Christians receive special treatment? What if there's someone out there whose family was ravaged by polar bears?
Maybe you should troll the comments of every shirt that seems mildly offensive. There's an idea.

May 31, 2012
Today, I will give my all for Tennessee. Every day, I gave my all for Tennessee. To say I am passionate about this program, Tennessee, Knoxville, our fans, my team and everything else that is orange would be an understatement. I just want to take a second to thank everyone who has been a part of making my journey at UT one that I will never forget. This year has been everything I expected and more.
The footprints that people have left on my heart are truly one of a kind, and have been life changing. All I can say is thank you, to everyone that has been there for me throughout my career for making me a stronger woman and athlete. I would not change one thing about my career, not one. Everything that has happened to me happened for a reason and is the reason I will always bleed orange.
Few things for my team:
Joanna Henderson (mininat): Hold it down for me! I leave you with many things, but you MUST lead all jam sessions and make sure the music selections in the locker room and at practice stay up to date! Also, make sure you keep everyone smiling and laughing. Use your sarcasm and light up the room as always!
Kata Szekely (a kataaaaaa): DOUBLES PARTNER! Thanks for being so great both on and off the court! I am going to miss watching OTH with you, as well as discussing Vampire Diaries! Thank goodness for Skype! Our discussions must continue. Be a great leader next year!
Sarah Toti (Vegas): "I had a dream last night. You were in it." Never a dull moment! Going to miss you bud. Work hard in rehab. You are going to be back in no time! You are strong and nothing can hold you back!
Brynn Boren (B baby): All I have to say is "tick....tick....tick....booooom!! SEE YA!" Also, I will miss seeing how excited and anxious you get when we all talk about Vamps!! Damon!!
Caitlyn Williams (Caits): "Spongebob that...." "Bring it around towwwwn" I will never forget our dance lessons and sessions! Wobble! I am leaving you with making sure everyone gets their fair share of doughnuts every year! Hold it down for me bud! Lastly, make sure you keep the tweener alive. I'll be expecting to see one at the NCAAs on stadium court!
Jesse Grace (J Grace): My little 17-year-old buddy! Soon you will be 18, and you won't have to worry about so many age restrictions! Make sure you continue to jam out and bust a move. Keep loving that country music! Hope you are having fun at home with all the wild animals outside in your front yard!!
Kayla McMurry: Next time you play catch phrase, make sure you use words that we will actually know! No big words aloud. Thanks for always making me smile!
For all of you: Make the breaks effective and loud and make sure everyone knows you are there and ready to play (Lady Vols on three)! I love you all more than anything and will always be there for you. I am going to miss you girls. EXCEED EXPECTATIONS..
Things that stick out from my four years:
-Serving surrounding communities
-Becoming a four-time All-American
-Playing for a National Championship in doubles, and making it to two doubles semifinals
-Seeing my family and friends in the stands every match bleeding orange
-Becoming a better leader
-Opportunity to grow as both a person and athlete with every team I played on
-Watching Pat Summitt coach
-Senior Day
-Senior Day video and Halloween Video (all of Andrew's work!)
-Elite Eight appearance
-All home matches, all upsets, all matches!
-Every game, match, meet, I attended to support other athletes and friends
This list does not even come close covering to all of my experiences that I cherish from my career. I am thankful for absolutely every opportunity that Tennessee has given me.
-Natalie Pluskota

I have been thinking about this for years now and believe that I am at the point where I would move on these feelings. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with visiting/being a lay resident at a monastery. I am finding it very difficult where I am to study and get a gasp of Buddhism, and I am unhappy with this. I have spoken to the Shasta Abbey in Northern California, but before I make a decision, I wanted to see if anyone here had any advice.

Snow season still strong
Snow season still going strong in northern NH
By SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader | March 27. 2013 8:55PM
Just few miles from Conway Village, there's plenty of soft snow left on the Nanamocomuck Ski Trail. (SARA YOUNG-KNOX PHOTO)
Shea, 27, was ready to go through the bridge to the Lower Nanamocomuck Trail, something that was not possible a year ago at this time. By late March 2012 the mercury had already hit 80 degrees in the White Mountains, and what little snow there had been was long gone.
This year's unseasonably cool March weather, combined with the late winter and early spring storms, has stretched out the season for winter outdoor activities in the White Mountains and farther north.
"It's been a good winter," Shea said as he finished applying klister - the soft, sticky ski wax used for icy, slushy or wet conditions - on his skis. "Last winter you didn't even have to shovel," he added.
The snow in the woods and trails is good news for those who enjoy spring skiing and snowmobiling.
"The past few months of March (in recent years) have not brought much natural snowfall, but this year is certainly making up for that. The stage is now set for an awesome spring skiing season, which really makes the deals on lift tickets and season passes that much more valuable to our guests," Karl Stone, Ski NH's marketing director, said recently.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Sep 27, 2006.
I'm sorry. I'm getting anxious for some preseason games.
...and when it happened, did anyone notice? lol.
The 'off-season blues'...we all know what that's about Reading every post on pf.com , including every redundant slant bballjay can possibly put on long-departed Darko...past, present & future. If I get you right...you've probably explored the nether regions at detnews.com too :P :rant2: If you're looking for dream interpretations...it's gonna cost you.
My therapist helps me with the dream interpretations, thank you. Speaking of which, you probably need some counseling after the MSU-ND game last Saturday... :(
But the insights here would be far more thought-provoking and humorous...not to mention, cheaper. Naw...I went thru therapy after the OSU game last year...I've since re-learned to never get too excited about Spartan football.
Are you sure that Mo was actually close enough defensively that the word "over" can apply?
I've got Smush Parker as my witness...
I feel you BL. According to Freud, we are what we dream. Old Wives tales believe that if you tell your dream at the exact time it occurred the night before, it will come true. Lottery experts have won millins on the interpretation of their dreams as it relates to playing a lottery number. Lets get this season going.
Re: I had a dream that Flip Murray drained a 3 over Mo Evan when the Lakers came to t Start the preseason already BTW, I'd rather watch Delfino dunking over Moles.
Re: I had a dream that Flip Murray drained a 3 over Mo Evan when the Lakers came to t LBeer, your dreams aren't even founded in reality. Mo will reject that weak stuff.
Re: I had a dream that Flip Murray drained a 3 over Mo Evan when the Lakers came to t I had a dream that Cheryl Ford grew six inches. Joe Dumars traded Kelvin Cato to the Shock for Ford and Dumars convinced Stern that it was time for the NBA to forget their sexist policies .

|Florida County Detention Facilities'
Average Inmate Population
September 2011
first | previous | 1 of 5 | next
subject index
Inmate Profile Summary
This report is mandated by F.S. 951.23 and provides a monthly profile of Florida's detention facility inmate populations. Monthly Average Daily Population (ADP) figures include male, female, adult, and juvenile inmates.
These population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor, and "other" subcategories in Table 1. "Other" includes the number of parole violators, state inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions, and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Marchman(alcoholism) Acts. Within felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed.
Table 2 features the Average Daily Population and incarceration rate in each county.
Table 3 lists the number and percent of felony and misdemeanor pretrial inmates at each detention facility.
The Jail Population Summary (Table 4) lists detention center totals for the year to date.
Table of Contents:
On average, there were 58,051● inmates in Florida's county detention facilities during the month of September 2011. In comparison, in September 2010, there were 57,327 inmates incarcerated by county facilities in Florida. This is a 1.3% increase from last year.
The following provides an analysis of the inmate population for September 2011:
September 2011 Jail Population Recap
In September 2011, the statewide county detention incarceration rate was 3.1 per 1,000 county residents based on the population estimates for April 1, 2010. The county population estimates are provided by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research via the website of the Florida Legislature's Office of Economic and Demographic Research, November, 2009. Incarceration rates ranged from a low of 1.1 in Palm Beach County, to a high of 17.2 in Baker County . (No counties are excluded, see notes)Pretrial Population Levels *
During the month of September 2011, 28,828 of the inmates housed in county detention facilities were classified as pretrial or "awaiting trial." Of these, 24,773 offenders (85.9%) were awaiting trial for felony offenses while 4,055 (14.1%) were detained for misdemeanor violations. Of the 58 counties reporting, 59.7% of these facilities had over half of their inmates awaiting trial. (some counties are excluded, see notes)
The following counties did not report the appropriate breakdown information of their populations; therefore they are not represented in some of the statistics. For these facilities only, the monthly average daily population is provided:
Charlotte, Miami-Dade, Flagler, Franklin, Liberty, Marion, Palm Beach, Union, Walton
The above is annotated by the following symbols:

Ok, so after trooping last weekend, and 2 days so far this weekend with day3 tomorrow in my ESB fett I realize it's way past time for a gauntlet upgrade.
Here is my delima...my current gauntlets are WAY to big for my forearms. I have to stick a 2in thick piece of foam in them and they still slide around, twist a bit on my arms, and get in the way of moving my hands/wrists.
For those of you with FP and/or MOW gauntlets, how do they fit? Do you have to pad the inside to keep them from moving around? Are they reasonably comfortable for 5+ hour troops? I'm trying to decide between the two and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys
Pretty much brand new here, but I have been a long standing member over at the RPF and gbfans. I bought a helmet from ASOK the other day. I cant say enough about the help and the beautiful work. The cold cast material is so impressive in person!
So I am hoping you guys can help me with the earpiece. It is molded in one piece and shows nothing that says it is made to be opened. However it seems there is no way to do this without cutting it open. I must be missing something. I have done an extensive search here trying to find this info but to no avail.

PHILADELPHIA -- Drexel University students can now borrow a MacBook dispensed from a vending machine at a campus library to work on projects and assignments during the late-night hours after staffed services close.
The kiosk holds up to a dozen 15" MacBooks, available to students around the clock on a first-come, first-served basis. To access the vending machine, students use their university ID cards; they must remain in the library while using the MacBooks, which are equipped with security sensors. The laptops are lent for five hours, and borrowers will incur a late fee of $5 an hour if they don't return it through a slot in the machine on time. The laptop batteries are charged inside the machine and their hard drives are wiped clean between uses.
The idea for the machine came from a student who was hesitant to carry his personal laptop to and from the school library from his off-campus residence late at night because he found it burdensome and felt it made him a target for thieves.
Drexel's administrators partnered with Dallas-based Laptops Anytime to offer the automated solution. Drexel is reportedly the third university on the East Coast to introduce the kiosk.
The university said it will evaluate the use of the vending machine and results to determine if additional kiosks should be added in other libraries or other locations around the campus. Administrators are also considering iPads for future kiosks.

Welcome to Baltimore City Community College! The staff at the Disability Support Services Center (DSSC) is delighted you are interested in pursuing your educational goals at BCCC.
The DSSC holds as its goal the success and enrichment of every student with a disability at BCCC.
Here in DSSC we spend most of our time talking with students on a one-to-one basis.
We are available to help any registered student with a disability assess their academic progress, learn strategies for successfully navigating the rigors of college, and discovering learning strengths and weaknesses.
We know from experience that having a disability does not necessarily preclude a person from following their dreams; in fact, a disability can be a positive factor for some.
Today, there are quite a few students who have been successful at BCCC with physical, learning, or psychological disabilities and we are proud of that fact.
Although we cannot guarantee any student success at BCCC, there is nothing we want more than for all our students to succeed.
