Edina's Willie Benjamin is one of several veteran goaltenders who could steal the show at this year's state tournament. Star Tribune photo
Breakaways. Water bottles in orbit. Five goals.
Benilde-St. Margaret's forward Grant Besse made last season's Class 2A tournament title game a showcase for his considerable skills. But this week, a strong crop of goaltenders is poised to stop such scoring outbursts as the tournaments get underway Wednesday at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center.
"There are a number of good goalies; It's probably the deepest year I can remember," said Duluth East coach Mike Randolph, who won his 500th career game earlier this season and reached his 14th state tournament.
Last year, eight of the state's top 12 in points played in either class of the state tournament. One of those was Besse, who set a Class 2A championship game record by scoring all five of his team's goals in a 5-1 victory over Hill-Murray.
Besse is among the high-scoring spectators this week as only three of the state's top 12 scorers made the tournament. No player on any Class 2A team has scored more than 25 goals. The focus has shifted to the boys between the pipes.
"A lot of guys realized they needed to do something this year if their team was going to be successful," said Hill-Murray's John Dugas, who took the loss to Besse and the Red Knights in last year's title game. "I think it's just guys taking ownership, coming out ready to play and being game-changers."
Dugas, who won 22 games this season for the top-ranked Pioneers, and St. Thomas Academy's David Zevnik, are the finalists for the Frank Brimsek Award given to the state's top senior goaltender. Zevnik stopped all 33 shots he faced in three section playoff games and did not allow a goal, positioning the Cadets for their third consecutive Class 1A title.
Injury forged a bond between Dugas and Wayzata goalie Aaron Dingmann, a first-team Star Tribune All-Metro selection. Both underwent offseason hip surgery and rehabilitated together.
"We pushed each other," Dugas said. "We were kind of competing with each other to see who could get back first."
Both missed most of the summer hockey schedule, using the time to strengthen their bodies and minds.
"When you take that much time off, you can almost picture yourself being successful," said Dugas, who fulfilled his vision by posting a 22-2-1 record, stopping 94 percent of shots faced and allowing 1.36 goals per game.
When Dingmann returned to the net halfway through the fall Elite League, he did so with a new perspective.
"I came into the year with a different mentality than I've ever had," Dingmann said. "It's more of just trying to have fun and realizing how lucky I am to be playing. Sitting out a lot of my junior year taught me a lesson that I won't be able to play hockey the rest of my life, so I'm trying to enjoy the moment."
With Dingmann in the net, a talented but inexperienced Wayzata team found the stability needed for a state tournament run. Dingmann went 17-6, stopped 93 percent of shots faced and allowed 1.81 goals per game.
"Right when he came back he was on top of his game, and we've rode him all the way to state," Trojans senior Jalen Wahl said.
The saddle was also placed on Eastview sophomore Zachary Driscoll. Taking over the starting job around Christmas, Driscoll won 15 games and stopped a whopping 95 percent of shots faced. Opponents managed only 1.65 goals per game.
Driscoll stepped up in the playoffs, stopping 85 of 86 shots in three playoff games and allowing only one goal.
"When you have a goalie playing well, it takes one question out of the equation," Eastview coach Drey Bradley said. "It's a great place to start."
Duluth East's Dylan Parker, Edina's Willie Benjamin and Centennial's Patrick Munson each won at least 16 games and posted save percentages in the low 90s.
"It's a great goaltending year," said Munson, who played hockey at Hill-Murray as a freshman and battled Dugas for the varsity backup job. "When you play against top goalies, you want to beat them."

Grower introduces farmers to edamame
A Seneca County farmer views a new soybean as an opportunity for farmers to grow a new crop and a chance for consumers to add a nutritional and tasty vegetable to the dinner table.
Charles Fry says he hates the fact that the United States imports more than 100,000 tons of the soybean, called edamame (pronounced ed-ah-mommy), with 85 to 90 percent coming from China.
Fry says he is encouraged by the fact that they intend to see farmers plant the edible soybean on 1,200 acres in 2012 and as many as 4,000 acres in 2013 — all to be grown for the American consumer market.
"Edamame is a vegetable soybean — edamame is to a soybean what sweet corn is to field corn," Fry said. "It is still a soybean, but we harvest it at the peak of maturity and eat like a vegetable instead of letting dry off and use it like grain crop."
A dozen farmers gathered at RJ Coffey Cup Saturday to listen to a presentation by Fry regarding growing the new crop and to treat their tastebuds to a bowl full of the green podded beans. The bean resemble green beans, with a similar but more mild taste.
"This is the perfect vegetable," said Fry, who first ate edamame at a sushi restaurant. "It is a great nutritional package. It has all the essential amino acids, in fact it is the only vegetable with all the essential amino acids. You have protein in every serving, good fiber — and there are nutritionists who will tell you it is almost the perfect vegetable.
"Kids love it," he said. "You get a bag of edamame, show them how to pop the beans out, put it on the table and they will eat the entire bag."
Fry, who traveled throughout the world including Japan before coming back to Ohio to farm with his father, explained the West Coast and East Coast have been making dishes out of edamame for the past 10 to 15 years. Today, people can find the vegetable in most any grocery store in the produce section or among the frozen food.
While the bag will having cooking instructions, Fry points out to eat only the bean and not the pod. He said the quickest way to make edamame is to pop them in the microwave, put some sea salt on them and eat them out of the bowl.
In 2004, Fry decided to plant two acres with the sweet soybean. By 2007, the Frys planted 200 acres, which accounted for 10 percent of the U.S. crop production that year.
This year he expanded from growing the vegetable on his farm to contracting with farmers near Napoleon.
On Saturday, Fry explained he intends to contract farmers in this region to grow an additional 500 to 600 acres of the vegetable soybean — which comes from a seed that he has developed and continues to improve on his farm in northern Seneca County.
Being a grain farmer, he also told those in attendance Saturday, he understands their apprehension as well as their excitement.
"Everybody has their own decision process they go through for why they raise the crops that they do or the animals they raise," Fry said. "For me, the things that are compelling is that it uses existing equipment we already have. It fits into our regular rotation — in other words, wherever I am going to grow soybeans I can grow these soybeans, so I don't have to change my schedules or my farming ground."
Contracted farmers only grow the vegetable soybean.
Charles and his father, Gerry Fry, harvest, truck and process the beans into edamame at their farm through a business they started called the American Sweet Bean Co. Wapakoneta resident Andy Haag is helping the Frys with the edamame process by engineering an automated system of cleaning the beans.
Charles Fry wanted to introduce the crop to area farmers and to learn if they wanted to participate in the test plots. He said he wants to grow some in a different weather pattern in west-central Ohio.
To be profitable, Fry said it is best if 100 acres is devoted to the crop.
His company harvests the crop, which takes 85 days or 95 days to mature (depending on seed variety), starting at midnight and spend nearly 20 hours in the field. They start at night because the bean plant relaxes and it is easier to separate the pod from the plant.
They also have to harvest the bean prior to it turning green to yellow, which turns the heads of other farmers, who wait longer for their traditional soybean field to mature.
For Fry, growing the crop fulfills a romantic idea of who the American farmer is and should be.
"Our competitors are foreign imports," Fry said cracking open a emerald green pod and displaying the lighter green bean. "This product grows great in the United States, it grows great in Ohio. As far as I am concerned if we have food that grows well here then we ought to have American farmers growing it for American consumers.
"It seems crazy that we would be paying the Chinese to bring soybeans into Ohio and the United States," he said. "Almost all of our regular soybean production gets used for animal feed. I have this romantic notion that farmers grow crops to make food for people to eat. This is a great opportunity to do that."

Alfresco Innovates with New Community Edition, Delivers First-Ever Open Source Mashable Enterprise Content Services
Alfresco Community Release 2.1 available free for download with simple URL access for Web sites, portals, blogs and Microsoft Office
LONDON, July 10th, 2007 – Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in open source enterprise content management, today announced the immediate availability for download of Alfresco Community 2.1.
The release introduces the new Web Script technology that provides access to enterprise content, metadata, user interface components and queries using a simple URL interface. Utilizing new Web 2.0 integration techniques, Web Scripts enable web sites, portals, blogs, applications and Microsoft Office to access or mashup enterprise content without the need for integration tools and complex programming. New lightweight scripting capabilities simplify the development of sophisticated mashups using proven web technologies that enable massive scalability.
Enterprise content in large corporations today tends to stay in proprietary silos, only accessible through proprietary user interfaces. With the emergence of Web 2.0, enterprises are demanding the same integration and mashup capabilities found on the Web be made available via their existing user interfaces. Users want to access information within the tool of their choice. The result is a shift towards the application of Web 2.0 concepts inside the enterprise. However, integrating enterprise content with other systems, applications and web sites has required major development and integration projects.
Instead of providing simple interfaces, these projects tend to use sophisticated Java and/or .NET code that is expensive and time consuming to develop. The burden of these interfaces has either prevented simple access to enterprise content or made it unscalable and difficult to use. The lack of integration prevents users from finding relevant content in the context of other applications or web sites and often forces them to integrate information themselves by multi-tasking on multiple applications.
Alfresco Community 2.1 has been designed to deliver simple access to content from the user's tool of choice (Office, portal, website or Web 2.0 property as simply as accessing a URL); simple access and mashup of internal and external content (without requiring complex .Net or Java programming); and massive scalability through proven web-oriented and REST architecture.
The new Alfresco Community 2.1 offers the following new capabilities:
- New Native Office Integration – Building on the ability to view the Alfresco repository as a shared drive through the existing CIFS capability, Alfresco now offers full document management from within the Office environment, as well as MySpaces, MyDocuments, MyTasks and MyWebForms panes. This is in addition to content services such as check-in/check-out, version control, auditing, workflow and PDF generation.
- Enterprise Portal Integration – JSR-168 Web Script access to MySpaces, MyDocuments, MyTasks MyWebForms
- Enterprise Content Publishing into Blogs – WordPress and TypePad
- New Web 2.0 User Interface – Fisheye Drilldown, AutoPreview, Cross Platform Dashlets with Full Personalization
These capabilities are available due to the next generation Web-oriented architecture delivered through Web Scripts, which are the foundation of simple cross platform access, mashups and web scalability. A Web-oriented architecture is far simpler than a service oriented architecture for the following reasons:
- Simple URL access vs. SOAP
- Lightweight scripting vs. complex .Net or Java programming
- Simple mashup of internal and external vs. internal services only
- Common Web Standards – OpenSearch, URL, JSON, RSS, ATOM vs. Proprietary API's
"Web 2.0 innovations are prompting radical reconsiderations for corporate IT managers who must make it easy for workers to manage content across platforms – both inside and outside the organization," said John Newton, CTO and co-founder of Alfresco Software Inc. "We are moving from silos to mashups, complex proprietary tools to tools of choice, and from complex programming to lightweight scripting. Alfresco's open source innovation is taking ECM out of the 1990's."
"Alfresco 2.1 teamed with JBoss Portal 2.6 enterprise portal provides users with seamless access to simple but powerful content management tools from within their chosen working environment," said Pierre Fricke, director of product line management, Red Hat. "The availability of Alfresco Community 2.1 is an important step forward for next-generation Web applications. We look forward to further integration of Red Hat solutions with Alfresco ECM in future.
"Customers today want to move old corporate web sites to modern community centered Web 2.0 properties. Alfresco's new Web 2.0 oriented REST architecture fits in perfectly with Liferay to deliver a two-way conversation through blogs, wikis, forums and Web 2.0 properties, both inside and outside the corporation, " commented Bryan Cheung, CEO, Liferay LLC.
For more information or to download Community 2.1, please visit http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/ Alfresco Enterprise 2.1, which will include service and support, is expected later this year.

Mooneyes Xmas Party Details:
- Hot Rod show at Irwindale Speedway, CA
- Rain decreases attendance
- Drag portion cancelled on account of weather
- Vintage VW enthusiasts present
It's 6am on a Saturday morning and rather than being home asleep hundreds of men, women, and children flocked to Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, CA. for the annual Mooneyes Xmas Party Show and Drag. The noise of V8s, the smell of burning fuel and carne asada filled the air as a line of cars still try to make their way into the venue.
The Mooneyes event gathered a range of hot rods including a range of Volkswagen enthusiasts as well. And not just your ordinary modern Volkswagen, we're talking proper old-school VWs.
You have the Volkswagen Beetle, what's often called the People's Car and probably the most recognizable car known to man. No matter what Volkswagen does to the new Beetle, it can never recreate the magic that the iconic old Beetle communicated. This is what happens when you ask Porsche to design a car.
There's something about vintage VWs that never lose its cool factor especially the Volkswagen Type II or simply called the Volkswagen Bus. The bus gained popularity during the sixties/seventies counterculture movement where it was dubbed the "hippie bus."
Continuing its formula with mid-engine cars, Volkswagen came out with the Type 3. It released a wagon variant given the nickname Squareback, which was introduced to the US in the early 1960s.
Lastly, we have Volkswagen's cousin a Porsche 356. The car was designed by none other than Ferdinand Porsche, the same man responsible for designing the Volkswagen Beetle mentioned above. As you can see the 356 had very similar bodylines as the Beetle. Just like the Beetle its air-cooled engine is also mounted in the rear.
The unusual California weather couldn't stop hundreds of people from attending this year's Mooneyes Xmas show. Sure some of the exteriors of these cars are a bit rough, but who cares? Fresh paint jobs can be overrated. It's cool VWs like these that will make us attend every Mooneye event there is.

Leddy and Otto wrapped up their appearances at the NCAA Championships Saturday (Gil Talbot).
AUBURN, Ala. – Senior Meghan Leddy and freshman Courtney Otto wrapped up their appearances at the 2012 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday, with Leddy competing in the 200 back prelims and Otto racing in the 200 fly.
Leddy, the three-time Ivy League Champion in the 200 back, was first to take to the pool and placed 42nd with a time of 1:58.48. The senior also swam in the 100 back prelims on Friday, finishing 59th in 55.72, just slower than her school record time of 55.16 in the event.
Otto nearly made the cut in the 200 fly as she finished the prelims in 24th place with a time of 1:57.47. The top 16 times from the prelims earned a place in the finals, with Otto's time falling less than one second behind the pack.
The freshman competed in a total of three races over the weekend, and placed 30th in the 400 IM with a time of 4:14.58 on Friday as the reigning Ivy League Champion in the event. Otto also finished 54th in the 500 free prelims on Thursday in 4:51.65.
"This is an extremely competitive meet so personal best times need to be done in the morning in order to get a second swim," Stephanie Wriede Morawski, the Costin Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Swimming & Diving commented on Saturday. "Both Courtney and Meghan posted solid morning swims and represented Harvard well. I am thrilled that Meghan has continued to improve over her four years and swam fast enough to make the NCAA Championships for the first time as a senior. Courtney learned a lot from this experience and I truly believe she will put points on the board for us next year."

Israeli Mayor Says His City Is Completely Free Of Gay People
Beit Shemesh Mayor Moshe Abutbul is proud to tell the global community that the Israeli city he presides over is 100 percent homosexual-free.
When asked about his city's gay community, Mayor Abutbul responded, "We have no such things. Thank God this city is holy and pure," like the "garden of Eden."
Considering that homosexuality is found in every living corner of the ecosystem, how is it that his city of 75,000 has gone against nature?
Rabbi Yitzhak Hagar attempted to answer that question during the same interview piece. "The central problem is a psychological problem, which needs treatment. In our community the problem is treated very, very well."
Thankfully, the non-existent gays of Beit Shemesh have stood up against their mayor's ramblings to ensure nobody will ever think the city is free of diversity ever again. "The mayor of Beit Shemesh says that there are no gays in his city. He's asked the police to deal with this phenomenon. Well, we talked to the police, and they'll deal with us--with a pride parade that we will hold this upcoming Thursday."
Match point, Beit Shemesh LGBT community!
(Via Queerty)
an antisemite.........you weren't even born to see what i saw. i can tell by your unintelligent and unexperienced statement. it's people like you and this mayor that are polluting the world with your wrong decisions. yours is to open your mouth and speak. let's work on silencing that first and maybe you will learn something about the world my misguided human.

Abstract: Egypt's Last Royal Pyramids: The Monuments of King Ahmose at Abydos
Over the past 20 years of excavation, the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project at Abydos, Egypt has revealed a surprising amount of information about the monuments of the founder of Egypt's New Kingdom, the warrior-king Ahmose (ca. 1550-1525 BCE) and his family. Although Ahmose's monumental pyramid at Abydos has been known since its discovery in 1900, the existence of a series of other temples at its base went unsuspected until work was resumed in 1993. A startling discovery came in the form of fragments of the pyramid temple decoration, including the oldest images of horses and chariots in battle ever found in Egypt, and these are the only known representations of Ahmose's defeat of the Hyksos, rulers of Syro-Palestinian origin who occupied northern Egypt for a century. More recently, a second royal pyramid built by Ahmose could be identified in the form of a smaller brick structure first excavated over a century ago. Fragments of a monumental stone inscription within it have long been known, describing Ahmose's intentions in creating a monument to his grandmother, Queen Tetisheri. However, recent excavations have brought to light not only additional fragments of this text, but also proof of the structure's identification as a pyramid, in the form of its limestone capstone, or pyramidion. Taken together with evidence for worship of King Ahmose and his family for three centuries, these discoveries raise important questions about the end of the tradition of royal pyramid building in Egypt, and the birth of a new era best symbolized by the hidden tombs in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes.

It is possible that the main title of the report Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare inherited multisystem disorder that belongs to the group of diseases known as ectodermal dysplasias. Ectodermal dysplasias typically affect the hair, teeth, nails, and/or skin. HED is primarily characterized by partial or complete absence of certain sweat glands (eccrine glands), causing lack of or diminished sweating (anhidrosis or hypohidrosis), heat intolerance, and fever; abnormally sparse hair (hypotrichosis), and absence (hypodontia) and/or malformation of certain teeth. Many individuals with HED also have characteristic facial abnormalities including a prominent forehead, a sunken nasal bridge (so-called "saddle nose"), unusually thick lips, and/or a large chin. The skin on most of the body may be abnormally thin, dry, and soft with an abnormal lack of pigmentation (hypopigmentation). However, the skin around the eyes (periorbital) may be darkly pigmented (hyperpigmentation) and finely wrinkled, appearing prematurely aged. In many cases, affected infants and children may also exhibit underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or absence (aplasia) of mucous glands within the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts and, in some cases, decreased function of certain components of the immune system (e.g., depressed lymphocyte function, cellular immune hypofunction), potentially causing an increased susceptibility to certain infections and/or allergic conditions. Many affected infants and children experience recurrent attacks of wheezing and breathlessness (asthma), respiratory infections; chronic inflammation of the nasal passages (atrophic rhinitis), scaling, itchy (pruritic) skin rashes (eczema), and/or other findings.
HED is usually inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic trait; in such cases, the disorder is fully expressed in males only. However, females who carry a single copy of the disease gene (heterozygote carreirs) may exhibit some of the symptoms and findings associated with the disorder. These may include absence and/or malformation of certain teeth, sparse hair, and/or reduced sweating. Researchers also have reported cases in which HED appears to be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. In such cases, the disorder is fully expressed in both males and females.

IEA report: U.S. to be world's top oil producer by 2020
Despite persistent misinformation from industry advocates that the Obama administration was working to curtail the production of oil in the United States in favor of green energy sources, it turns out that false notion widely circulated before the election is untrue.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released its World Energy Outlook and, according to the IEA, the United States is on track to become the No. 1 oil producer in the world by 2020.
The report also predicts that by 2035, the U.S, will reach energy self-sufficiency and go from being an importer of oil – we currently import 20 percent of our total energy needs from other nations – to a net oil exporter.
As reported by CBS News Money Watch and confirmed by the IEA report:
"U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the U.S. could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer. Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951."
The IEA report is explicit on the reasons for this sharp increase less than a decade after gloomy predictions of declining oil production were floated on the premise that "peak oil" had been reached .
"The major factor driving domestic production higher is a newfound ability to squeeze oil out of rock once thought too difficult and expensive to tap. Drillers have learned to drill horizontally into long, thin seams of shale and other rock that holds oil, instead of searching for rare underground pools of hydrocarbons that have accumulated over millions of years," said the report.
Those ideas found some agreement in a new Deloitte survey of oil and gas decision-makers released in early November. The survey was conducted in late October – before the IEA report was released – according to Deloitte, a professional services firm that evolved from accounting giant Deloitte Haskins & Sells.
Deloitte survey respondents are in general agreement with the data presented in the IEA's World Energy Outlook, with three-quarters of them expressing the belief the U.S. is already natural gas self-sufficient, or will be within 10 years.
When it comes to oil, however, survey respondents are far less optimistic about our ability to meet American demand with domestic supplies: 54 percent say the U.S. will never be completely oil self-sufficient – and only 26 percent say oil self-sufficiency is achievable in the next 10 years. The IEA is more conservative on the self-sufficiency issue but said the U.S. will reach energy self-sufficiency by 2035.
Deloitte said if the question of oil self-sufficiency had been expanded to include all of North America, the results would likely have been different.
"Given North America's remarkable success with unconventional oil – both tight oil in places like North Dakota and oil sands in Canada – something closely resembling self-sufficiency is arguably within reach," said Peter Robertson, an independent senior advisor to Deloitte and former vice chairman of Chevron Corporation.

African American accident and a miracle
See I'm not supposed to be here
Somehow I got the leverage to
Wipe my circles in ? off
Like my boy take my mink off
Like I'm caught in a maze
Crime pays how much that thing cost,shit
Give me like 2 then, shit I deserve it
Came out of a dark hole ho where you've been
It ain't my purpose 'til I was laying down in oozin'
But feeling all worthless ain't gon' help
It helps with loosin
Praying I'm in God's eyes Behind these bricks, life's a bitch and she kicks
I kick 'em out, switching bitches like I'm switching these whips
I sick 'em on your world afflicted and wrist
I'm one of the greatest, take a picture of me miss
And bleed my rose I buy a kitcher rich
I gives a fuck bout where they gon' place me give me the dough
You out of green then give me the gold
I'm doin' my thing & you niggas owe
Traitor bitches tell me sorry kiss the ring and get on the floor
I'm consistent when I party bottles low,give me some more
They removed from the average five most likely not half as wise
My chain bring attention & your in detention maccin wise
Miss me with the chatter guy, keep your tool and the magnum by
Half of what really matters die, killin' niggas all swag aside
Fortune in my head they thought I was dead I took that fork out
Can't let 'em see me fall, I got the ball I took a short route
Encores as I walk out and there innovations the walking label
Like Booker T when I'm talking they look at me and see all them
Fresh Malcom X I guard the crib with my tall gun
Bring them nigga that made 'em daddy's son picked the wrong one
Dying is my ultimatum won't be a bum in a long run
Powered by all the hating, since a little boy my balls hung
Life can hard to handle you try to offer your help but
They somewhere in the fight club fucking themselves up
They say my opposition would last, but they amateurs
My buzz rattled ya we ain't mad at ya, we ain't mad at ya
All I got is my word and my ?
Big bird I gotta eat playboy I never leave this curb
A thousand degrees absurd ,phenomenal me I'm heard
When I'm in the hood I'm good NYC I serve
Lil boy born treated, from a man down dream I wake
Taking air with a foul smell of disappointment
So much love yet so much hate
Grey skies, used veins, and white poison
Black on black crime for the green man's dollar
In time you will enslave yourself
Mama pushed too hard will not save faith
Will not stop kill or fold
I'm too strong,hard as a rock , so inside cold
Hardly ever happy, hard times turning melody to homicide
One small piece to the pie of genocide
Same questions in 21 religions
Where will you go, who will, and who isn't
Young man rise from the dirt, rise from the dirt
Wipe your shirt and to work
Yeah, V6

Project Troglodyte: Trying To Pre-Defuse Possible Patent Trolls In Important Areas
from the interesting-idea deptThree guys from Finland who have been inspired by the EFF's patent busting project have recently launched a new effort, called Project Troglodyte, which is designed to pre-vet certain patents that they fear have a high likelihood of blocking innovation thanks to trolls.
They've already tackled three patents, a cleantech patent (7,739,378), a driverless vehicle one (which is actually just an application, rather than a granted patent) and another driverless vehicle patent (which, bizarrely, is also just an application).
We want to take the EFF's idea one step further: we scan for patents that have not YET caused problems, but have potential to do so in the future. We have chosen a few basic criteria:
1. Technologies that will be crucial in the near future.
2. Technologies that are potentially vulnerable to single patents.
3. Technologies that we understand at least somewhat.
4. Sometimes technologies we are just interested in.
We are doing this because we feel strongly about the issue of patent misuse, and want to see innovation that enables a better future. Between us we have quite a lot of experience in creating inventions, protecting them and analyzing patents. We feel that this project is a way to put that experience to good use.
I like the general goal of the effort, but going after applications seems a bit premature based on the goal of the program. Perhaps it will help with some of the new pre-grant review stuff that is making its way into our patent system, but the actual patents will most likely change a lot before they become patents, if they become patents.
Besides, if any patent application is fair game, these guys are barely going to scratch the surface of the problems with the system. At least the EFF focused on patents that actually are a problem. On top of that, part of the real problem with patent trolls is that they take broad patents that no one thinks has anything to do with anything, and suddenly claim that they're being infringed upon in a totally different field. So it's often quite difficult to accurately predict which patents are likely to be troll problems down the road.
While it's great that they want to try to prevent trolling, I'm not sure this will be a particularly effective means of doing so.

20 Tips on Communicating with English Language Learners
1. Use drawings, dramatic gestures, actions, emotions, voice, mime, chalkboard sketches, photographs and visual materials to provide clues to meaning.
2. If necessary, repeat your actions using the same simple structures and actions.
3. Simplify your message as much as possible breaking them into smaller, manageable parts to give newcomers a chance at comprehending.
4. Make sure the student's attention is focused.
5. Don't insist, however,that students make eye contact with you when you are speaking to them. This is considered rude in many cultures.
6. Modify your speech. Talk at a slow-to-normal pace, in short sentences. Use a pleasant tone of voice.
7. Use simple sentence structure (subject-verb-object) and high-frequency words
8. Use names of people rather than pronouns.
9. Pause after phrases or short sentences, not after each word. You do not want to distort the rhythm of the language.
10. Avoid using the passive voice and complex sentences.
11. If you have something important to convey, speak one-on- one to the student rather than in front of the class. The anxiety of being in the spotlight interferes with comprehension.
12. Ask simple yes/no questions. Accept one-word answers or gestures.
13. Be an active listener. Give full attention to your newcomer and make every effort to understand his / her attempts to communicate. Smile.
14. Talk in a calm, quiet manner. Raising your voice does not help comprehension
15. Demonstrate your patience through your facial expressions and body language.
16. Give your English language learners extra time to respond.
17. Encourage new learners of English to act out or to draw pictures to get their meaning across. Don't jump in immediately to supply the words for the student.
18. Correct pronunciation and grammar by repeating the response accurately. Do not ask the student to repeat the correction. This can be very embarrassing. Resist the urge to over correct. This will inhibit newcomers so that they will be less willing to speak.
19. Allow students to use a bilingual dictionary or electronic translator for words that can not be acted out.
20. Check comprehension frequently. Don't ask "Do you understand?" This is not a reliable check since many students will nod "yes" when they don't really understand.
5 comments:
These 20 tips are great. They work well with young children as well. Music also helps English Language Learners.

Thank you! These are great suggestions. I don't know about other teachers, but I find that sometimes I make the mistake, when modifying my speech, that I sometimes speak in gramatically incorrect forms, essentially mimicking my students errors because I think that they will have a better chance of understanding my statement. This is something I am trying to correct. Maybe it is more
prevalent in monolingual classrooms, when you hear the same errors repeatedly.
Also I was wondering if you could share more about the ways that you check for comprehension. I am also guilty of extending the generic "Do you understand?" Thanks

In a rebuttal to Ford's claim as the environmentally friendly automaker and its announcement to increase the fuel economy of its SUVs, GM Vice Chairman Harry Pearce announces GM will begin building a version of its Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra full-size pickups in 2004 that are powered by a gas-electric hybrid system. Pearce says the new hybrid pickup will improve the fuel economy by 15% but keep the same performance of today's V8.
Pearce also says GM will be using cylinder shutoff systems throughout its truck lineup. Called Displacement on Demand, the system cuts off fuel to half of a V8's cylinders while the vehicle is at cruising speed.

Where smoke gets in your eyes, really
Morocco native looks to open a hookah lounge in Schenectady
SCHENECTADY — The Capital Region is poised to get its first hookah lounge, a place where one can smoke flavored tobaccos out of a water pipe that's rooted in traditions of India and Persia.
Wahiba Elassali, a city resident and Morocco native whose husband owns a building at 129 S. Brandywine Ave., said she got site plan approval from the city Planning Commission last week to open the lounge in a building near the Interstate 890 interchange.
One might not know the hookah by name, but its image is a familiar one. The metal canister, hose and pipe is what the caterpillar smokes from in the classic Lewis Carroll book and Disney film "Alice in Wonderland." Flavored tobacco is lit and its smoke is passed through water in the canister and cooled before it is inhaled through a pipe.
Hookah lounges are gaining in popularity in large cities. New York state considers hookah lounges retail tobacco establishments, and the businesses must make the majority of their profits on tobacco sales. Sometimes the spots are laid-back coffeehouses; others are posh nightclubs. City Beer Hall in Albany hosted a "hookah night" on Tuesdays this past summer.
But Elassali said her business, which will open around the first of the year, will resemble what real lounges look like in her country — a cafe. She will serve coffee, tea and desserts, and small hookahs will be provided to each patron. She said the smoke generated by a hookah is aromatic and much less dense than that from cigarettes and cigars.
Elassali recognizes that care must be taken when running such an establishment. There are concerns that people will smoke other substances, such as marijuana. Hookah lounges on Long Island have gotten into trouble for letting in teenagers under 18 and for allowing customers to bring in alcohol. Last year, Suffolk County required that health warnings be posted in such lounges about the dangers of tobacco use.
Elassali said she will employ security on premises to monitor activity, and that alcohol will not be served.
"It will be very hard in the beginning because people won't know exactly what's going on," said Elassali, who got the idea from selling flavored tobaccos at her and her husband's store, International Food Market on Albany Street. They previously ran a dollar store where the lounge will be. She said she is trying to appeal to Americans and Arab immigrants alike.
City Beer Hall is planning to resume its hookah nights next summer. The bar charges $20 a table for the tobacco and to rent the hookah, which can only be used on the bar's patio. Disposable plastic mouth guards are passed out to people at the table, and each takes a turn using it to smoke from the pipe.
"I went to SUNY Albany, and I remember I used to love going to hookah lounges in New York and I never could find one in Albany," said City Beer Hall co-owner Kenny Schachter. He said his bar pairs tobacco flavors like strawberry and vanilla with speciality beers.

Motorists travel eastbound on Route 1 in Greenwich. At left, a motorist is stopped at the intersection with Byram Road. Residents say traffic is an issue in the area where a pedestrian was killed two weeks ago.
More pedestrians were killed on Route 1 in the 70-mile stretch between Byram and Groton than on any other state road, according to a transportation advocacy group that is calling for improved policies to make Connecticut streets more pedestrian and bike friendly.
The Tri-Station Transportation Campaign, a Manhattan non-profit group that lobbies for decreased automobile use, found in a report that of 100 automobile fatalities in Connecticut between 2009 and 2011, six of them occurred in that stretch of Route 1.
The group based its findings on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accident and fatality statistics.
Two roads were tied as Connecticut's second-most dangerous roads — Route 66 and Route 44, with three fatalities each.
Steve Higashide, the Tri-State Transportation Campaign's senior planner, said the numbers reflect the need for state highway engineers to put more emphasis on bike lanes, crosswalks, and sidewalks to make busier roads safer.
The three most dangerous roadways are arterial roads, with two or more lanes of traffic in each direction, Higashide said, often with too few crosswalks and other safety enhancements to aid pedestrians or bicylists.
"I think what the report does is emphasize the need for better roadway engineering," he said. "More than 50 percent of the fatalities occurred on arterial roads with very fast traffic and destinations people want to walk to."
On all roads in the local area during the three years, Bridgeport had the most pedestrian fatalities with five, followed by Darien with three, and Danbury and Norwalk with two each.
Between Devon and Byram there were four fatalities on U.S. Route 1 during the period.
In Byram on Sept. 3, 2010, a 56-year-old woman was killed by a truck near the New York state line while crossing Route 1 in early morning rush hour.
On Dec. 3, 2010, in downtown Westport, 93-year-old Ira Leonard Eisner, of Stamford, was struck and killed by a car on Route 1 while crossing the street outside the crosswalk.
On Dec. 21, 2010, 65-year-old Sharon Broecking suffered fatal injuries when she was struck by a car as she crossed the Post Road East near Westfair Drive in Westport.
The Tri-Station Transportation Campaign also recommends the state adopt a tougher "vulnerable users" law, with stiffer penalties for drivers found at fault in accidents in which pedestrians, bicyclists, or other users of the road are hurt or killed, Higashide said.
In recent years, state transportation engineers have focused more attention on expanding pedestrian amenities in road paving and repair projects where feasible, state Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Nursick said.
During repaving projects, engineers often restripe the existing road surface to provide a wider shoulder for bicyclists, or include new sidewalk segments and crosswalks, he said.
"For our part, I think the Tri-State Transportation Campaign makes some good points about having infrastructure that is more accessible to pedestrian and that is something we have focused on in the past couple of years in particular," Nursick said. "When it comes to roadway design we make sure we're providing the best amenities we can for bicyclists and pedestrians and it's something we've made great strides on."
However, he said the factor of human responsibility is of equal importance.
From 2009 thru 2011, there were 244 incidents involving pedestrians on the 117-mile section of route 1 from Greenwich to the Rhode Island border, Nursick said. In more than half the accidents, pedestrians were found to be at fault, including four of the six pedestrians killed on Route 1, he said.
Nursick said those numbers underscore a disregard on the part of both motorists and pedestrians about operating safely in the roadway, which can't be solved by infrastructure changes.
"It shows that people are not using the infrastructure the way it is intended to be used," he said. "Granted that infrastructure improvements need to be capitalized and improved on, but a lot of that is low profile behind the scenes changes like making shoulders wider that files under the radar."

Apple's iPod roadmap said to list three new models for '07
Emphasis on video playback?
Apple is planning to launch three new iPod designs next year, it has been claimed. The new models include the long-awaited widescreen video-centric iPod and possibly a recently rumoured 16GB Flash-based video player.
According to AppleInsider, citing a source with a handle on what Apple's up to, indicated the widescreen iPod may yet replace the current fifth-generation iPod. Much will depend on how buyers react to Apple's upcoming set-top box, codenamed 'iTV', and to the iTunes Movie Store as more content from film studios becomes available. If the reaction isn't positive, it's suggested, the widescreen iPod may not come to market in 2007 at all.
The report contains no details of the other two iPods alleged to be on Apple's roadmap, though just recently one Wall Street analyst indicated a 16GB Flash-based video-capable iPod was on the cards.
Apple's near-term release schedule is expected to focus on iTV, an updated Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.5 and the eagerly anticipated iPhone. Having only recently updated the iPod, iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle, Apple is unlikely to tinker with the line in the immediate future, though tweaks may come early next year as the company responds to demand over the Christmas period. ®

Fox & Anchor
There will be many more posts about this magical Pub and Hotel but let me start out with their side of the story, and that is the story of the fox and the anchor:
There are times when you tire of the chase and your surroundings. The fox was no different. Charging from wood to glade, never able to take in nature's treasures, the endless fight with chicken wire and fence, the dodging of buckshot and hound. It was clearly time to make a sly change - A warmer climate, maybe the feel of sand underpaw, or to lands where the sunsets burned as rusty red as his coat. He thought of asking the geese, but thought better of it. They had history. Despite being an average swimmer he followed the river downstream to the sea, trickle became torrent and the fox thought he would surely be a gonner. Sodden, wringing wet through and beyond the point-of-no-return, he abruptly felt himself hoisted out of the water by the anchor of a passing cargo ship en-route for the Azores. Given a warm bed and just the sustenance he had been waiting for, the fox had finally found a retreat where he was never hounded and the fowl ran free. You see, if you're determined, you'll always find aweigh.
Goodnight little foxes.

Sigh. Don does such good work. The faces are mostly hard to see here, which tones down the negative. The beady pin-point eyes are terrible, as are the the non-TF-looking faces. They get people talking, but they don't get me buying. Please, Don... everything's great but the faces, and that's the most important part.

Wraparound cover? When I saw that IDW's own solicitations listed Figueroa as doing two connecting covers for Ongoing #6, I assumed that this image was the combo of cover A and cover B. But now you're saying that this is a wraparound. Does that mean that there is even more to this image, or are the solicitations mistaken?

Your browser does not support iframes.
Recently, I was an inpatient at a local care facility in Taylorsville for rehabilitation after I fell, broke my hip and had follow-up surgery. Though I would have preferred not to have had the physical experience, I made many new friends at the care facility, friends who impacted my life in a positive way and made a difficult stretch much more tolerable.
I agree with Sheriff [Donald "Buddy"] Stump's efforts to obtain needed equipment free from the Department of Defense (DoD). I am a recently retired officer from the Marine Corps and my last tour of duty was as a site commander of a Marine Corps Reserve Center in Michigan.
I will never forget the first article I wrote on the church page. I wrote it on hell. The day after it came out a person called and told me, "I read your article in The Spencer Magnet and it has been years since I heard anything like that, but I needed to hear it and I bet there are young people in our church that have never heard it, but they need to."
In the movie "Cool Hand Luke," the warden said, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." I think that our Fiscal Court judge is guilty of just that. The magistrates are in the dark as to what the judge is doing concerning Spencer County's affairs. At some point, this had to come to a head as all infections do.
Guard Duty, a local veteran and military support organization, wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude for the success of this year's Veterans Honor Ceremonies that took place on Nov. 3.
Guard Duty takes great joy in honoring the men and women who served in our United States Armed Forces defending our freedom and liberties. It is because of their sense of duty to our country that we have the freedom of press, the freedom of speech, religion, of assembly, the right to bear arms, and so much more that we often take for granted.
I'm 46 years old and I have never been more disheartened or discouraged by an election than I was last week. Just typing that produces a bit of guilt however, as I'm reminded that as Christians, our hope is in Christ and we can't let the affairs of this world distract us to the point of depression. So I'm struggling.
As I am writing this letter on Election Day, I do not know the outcome of any of the elections that are taking place across this great land. However, there is one thing that I am absolutely sure of. The political climate and tone in our country has to change if we as a people have any hope of solving the serious problems that face us, not only across the United States but also here in Spencer County.
Kent Stevens at the young age of 11 years old started working to help his family. He is a hard working man and understands what hard work is all about.
He served as a school teacher and principal. His wife and two daughters also are school teachers.
Our future is education and Kent Stevens believes all people deserve an education.
He also is a man that cares abotu the people — the elderly, the working people, everyday people like himself.
Kent Stevens knows what hard work is about. He was my principal in school, and even though I was just a kid, I knew he was the kind of man I wanted to be like.
His door was always open to any student.
I feel Kent Stevens was a huge role model in my life, and I want to thank him for that.
Vote for someone that cares. Vote for Kent Stevens.

What should I watch for?
Tell your doctor or health care professional if your pain does not go away, if it gets worse, or if you have new or a different type of pain. You may develop tolerance to the medicine. Tolerance means that you will need a higher dose of the medicine for pain relief. Tolerance is normal and is expected if you take the medicine for a long time.
Do not suddenly stop taking your medicine because you may develop a severe reaction. Your body becomes used to the medicine. This does NOT mean you are addicted. Addiction is a behavior related to getting and using a drug for a non-medical reason. If you have pain, you have a medical reason to take pain medicine. Your doctor will tell you how much medicine to take. If your doctor wants you to stop the medicine, the dose will be slowly lowered over time to avoid any side effects.
There are different types of narcotic medicines (opiates). If you take more than one type at the same time or if you are taking another medicine that also causes drowsiness, you may have more side effects. Give your health care provider a list of all medicines you use. Your doctor will tell you how much medicine to take. Do not take more medicine than directed. Call emergency for help if you have problems breathing or unusual sleepiness.
Do not take other medicines that contain acetaminophen with this medicine. Always read labels carefully. If you have questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you take too much acetaminophen get medical help right away. Too much acetaminophen can be very dangerous and cause liver damage. Even if you do not have symptoms, it is important to get help right away.
You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how this medicine affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells. Alcohol may interfere with the effect of this medicine. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
The medicine will cause constipation. Try to have a bowel movement at least every 2 to 3 days. If you do not have a bowel movement for 3 days, call your doctor or health care professional.
Your mouth may get dry. Chewing sugarless gum or sucking hard candy, and drinking plenty of water may help. Contact your doctor if the problem does not go away or is severe.
Common and Rare Side Effects
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:

loss of consciousness
no blood pressure or pulse
no muscle tone or movement
not breathing
severe sleepiness
slow or irregular heartbeat
stopping of heart
sudden decrease in the amount of urine
unpleasant breath odor
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
More common
relaxed and calm feeling
Incidence not known
changes in mood
difficulty having a bowel movement
fear or nervousness
feeling of indigestion
hearing loss
impaired hearing
pain in the chest below the breastbone
unusual drowsiness, dullness, tiredness, weakness, or feeling of sluggishness

Brazilian artist Rodrigo Torres creates intricate collages by combining bank notes collected from around the world. Beautiful and painstakingly detailed, they are visually arresting and require a closer look. The ones I find most interesting single out common themes found within a variety of notes, such as crowds, portraits, and buildings/architecture, and showcase unexpected similarities between multiple countries' approaches to currency design. In Rodrigo's portrait collage, he positions heads to the right or left, with those silhouettes facing directly to the side seated at each respective end. The majority of head positions are in varying degrees of ¾ perspective; very few bank note portraits seem to face directly forward. Most notes are monochromatic, but differ on the single color used; this in turn creates an aesthetically pleasing rainbow effect. It's uncanny to see a multiplicity of notes side by side in this constructed context. Despite countless cultural, historical, and environmental differences in nations around the world, their money appears strikingly similar.
Torres's has been selected by Art Basel Switzerland to be featured in the month's Art Feature sector in Switzerland, which runs June 14 – June 17.

I like that sign!ReplyDeleteReplies
I suspected you would, Topper. I know you're a chaplain–which I assume means you don't have your own parish–but could you see yourself posting a sign like this?Delete
I'm sure it took a lot of courage for the Anglican priest in Australia to post it, but it's getting a lot of favorable attention. I think it may even have gone viral.
Do you have an opinion on the Roman Catholic Pope's recent comments about gay people? Looks like Catholics can expect some important changes from him.

Biddeford-based GWI Inc. plans to build an ultra-high-speed Internet network surrounding the University of Maine campus to boost economic development. Part of the national Gig.U initiative, the network will be one of the fastest business-residential networks in the country.
The announcement was made yesterday by UMaine President Paul Ferguson, GWI CEO Fletcher Kittredge and national Gig.U Executive Director Blair Levin, who were joined by business and municipal leaders, according to a press release. The network will serve the Orono and Old Town communities and be Maine's first gigabit Internet network commercially available to both business and residential customers. GWI will install optical fiber to businesses and homes and make that network infrastructure available to any service provider who wants to offer service to customers within the network.
The network will be built out over two phases, the first reaching downtown districts and business-heavy parts of both Old Town and Orono. Phase 2 will expand that network based on demand and population density. Download speeds will be 125 times faster and upload speeds 1,000 times faster than current offerings, according to the release. Prices for residential customers will range from $59.95 to $89.95 per month, while prices for businesses will be consistent with current market rates and determined on an individual basis.
Gig.U — the University Community Next Generation Innovation Project — is a group of 37 leading research universities across the United States seeking to accelerate the deployment of ultra-high-speed networks to leading U.S. universities and their surrounding communities. The creation of these networks will drive economic growth, enhance public-private-university partnerships and stimulate a new generation of innovation, according to the release. University of Maine was one of the first institutions to sign up to participate in Gig.U and is now one of the first to move forward.

Rule Part
47 C.F.R, Part 27
Radio Service Code(s)
- AW - AWS-1 1710-1755/2110-2155 MHz bands
- CY - H Block, 1915-1920 MHz / 1995-2000 MHz
- AD - AWS-4 2000-2020 / 2180-2200 MHz bands
Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) is the collective term the FCC uses for innovative fixed and mobile terrestrial wireless services using bandwidth that is sufficient for the provision of a variety of applications, including those using voice and data (such as internet browsing, message services, and full-motion video) content. The services provided by AWS licensees are limited only by the Fixed and Mobile designation of the spectrum we allocate for AWS and the services rules we ultimately adopt for the bands.
Similar services include the 700 MHz Service, 800 MHz Cellular Service, Broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS), and Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) Service.
The Commission has designated several different AWS spectrum bands over the years. The following contains a general description of the individual AWS bands that primarily focuses on recent actions the Commission has taken to establish rules to license these bands. The descriptions contain links to pages with more detailed information about each band, including historical information.
AWS-1: In 2002, the FCC released an Order that allocated 90 MHz of spectrum for AWS in the 1710-1755 and 2110-2155 MHz spectrum range. These spectrum bands are known as AWS-1. In 2002, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that sought comment on service rules for AWS. In 2003, the FCC released an Order that established rules to license AWS in the 1710-1755 and 2110-2155 MHz spectrum range.
AWS at 1915-1920 MHz/1995-2000 MHz ("H Block"): In 2012, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to develop rules for the H Block, as part of an effort to implement the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act). In June 2013, the FCC released a Report and Order containing licensing, operating, technical, and competitive bidding rules for the H Block.
AWS-3: Following a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in July 2013, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in March 2014 with allocation, technical, and licensing rules for commercial use of the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz and 2155-2180 MHz bands. These spectrum bands are collectively known as AWS-3. The AWS-3 Report and Order required that commercial operators successfully coordinate with Federal incumbents before operating in certain Protection Zones. In July 2014, the FCC and NTIA put out a Joint Public Notice Announcing AWS-3 Coordination Details, which refined the default nationwide coordination zones and provided additional information regarding coordination between Federal and non-Federal commercial shared use of the 1695-1710 MHz and 1755-1780 MHz bands.
AWS-4: In 2012, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposed to apply AWS service rules for spectrum in the 2000-2020 and 2180-2200 MHz spectrum range. These spectrum bands, which are also allocated and authorized for Mobile Satellite Service (MSS), are known as AWS-4. Later the same year, the FCC released a Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification adopting flexible use service rules in those bands. In February 2013, the Commission issued an Order of Modification to modify the licenses of the incumbent MSS licensees in that spectrum to grant them AWS-4 terrestrial operating authority. In December 2013, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order granting a petition for waiver of certain rules in the 2000-2020 MHz band, subject to certain conditions, in order to provide the licensees of that band with flexibility to use it for uplink or downlink operations, and providing a concomitant extension of the AWS-4 buildout milestone.
Market Areas and Channel Blocks
AWS licenses are issued by FCC market areas and channel blocks.
FCC market areas consist of one or more counties. The market areas for AWS licenses are:
- Cellular Market Area (CMA) – There are 734 CMAs
- Economic Area (EA) – There are 176 EAs
- Regional Economic Area Grouping (REAG) – There are 12 REAGs
Channel blocks are groups of frequencies. For the specific channel blocks associated with a particular AWS band, please see § 27.5(h),(j)(k) (Frequencies) and § 27.6(h),(i),(j),(k) (Service areas).
The FCC typically uses an auctions process, absent a need to do otherwise, to assign initial licenses for AWS from among mutually exclusive applications. Access to AWS spectrum may also be attained through the secondary market, which generally allows AWS licensees to transfer, sell or lease spectrum, in whole or in part.
To date, licenses have been issued for the AWS-1, H Block, and AWS-4 spectrum bands. You can find information about AWS licenses in the Universal Licensing System (ULS) and the Spectrum Dashboard. The ULS radio service code and description for AWS-1 is AW, 1710-1755/2110-2155 MHz bands; for H Block is CY, 1915-1920 MHz / 1995-2000 MHz; and for AWS-4 is AD, 2000-2020 / 2180-2200 MHz bands.
The FCC service rules for AWS are located in 47 C.F.R. Part 27.
You can view some historical releases about AWS at the AWS Releases page.

During every academic year, Saint Michael's students earn fellowships for graduate study, research, and teaching both in the U.S. and abroad. While competition for these opportunities is intense, a liberal arts education at Saint Michael's prepares students to apply successfully for national fellowships, scholarships and grants.
Students should begin to explore opportunities early and should consult with their faculty advisors and the individual fellowship coordinators in order to determine which grants might fit their academic plans. Some of the fellowships provide financial support for the final years of undergraduate study as well as graduate school.
Political-Science Professor Patricia Siplon works with all of the fellowship coordinators to oversee the College's efforts; she is also available to consult with students about particular programs (call 802-654-2766).
See the pages below for details about each program and contact information for its liaison at Saint Michael's.

I just finished Unaccompanied Women. It's a beautiful and inspiring book, for men as well as for women. There's so much take away, but on top of the list for me is that determination need not be grim, it can be driven by joy, hope, and love. They say that life begins at 80, I hope that your next decade is filled with love, warmth, new and old friends, and the presence of a treasured lover or two.

I came across 'Unaccompanied Women'quite by chance and loved it. The closing paras are really inspiring. Ever thought of visiting New Zealand, Jane? If so, there's a warm welcome waiting for you here - any time. I'm a "Masterpiece" by your definition and share many of your past experiences, including a trip to Germany in 1955 when I toured with my (male) penfriend in his Messerschmitt for several weeks.

I loved both the books and have passed them on to a number of my women friends. Unfortunately the main impression I was left with,apart from Janes indominable spirit,was the smallmindedness ,selfishness,and pettyness of most of the men she met.As a relatively young (53) straight male,I can only hope to avoid the misogynistic attitudes of these nasty old men as I grow older!!Or is it a US thing,Im from New Zealand!

I thought I'd stop in today and see the latest....and it seems that not too many of us out there are contributing to Jane's message board! I honestly can't believe that our numbers are so few. I will say that I read Jane's book for the first time 2 summer's ago and found it rather enlightening, refreshing and honest....not something that too many of us are accustomed to hearing these days. Jane's book was first brought to my attention after reading her article in Vogue. All I can say is: WOW! I can't say that I am either young or naive any longer, but I can say that Jane put into words all of the reasons that I live the life I have chosen. With one exception: the acknowledgement that this life is more often than not on life support. What do you think?

HI Jane! I read your book, "A Round-Heeled Woman" a few years back, and had lent it out to several friends at work, so it has been lying around my office for awhile, and my eye found it again today. I was tickled to do an internet search and find that a play based on that wonderful book had been produced in San Francisco this year. I certainly hope it gets transplanted to the east coast so that we can enjoy it,too! I hope you are happy and fulfilled. You were terribly brave to put your incredible mind, heart (and body!) out there for us, and you are a personal hero of mine.

Just a test note in hope that it will post.

I have just finished your book and it has inspired me to finish my book! I am a widow that has gone through significant changes after a 36 year marriage. My "escapades" in my growth as a woman entering her senior years has had me worried, until I read your book. I live in the Bay Area and would love to get some insight from you and/or perhaps some mentoring about my writing abilities. I have "dabbled" in writing but am not a professionally educated person at it. My career took me into other categories of my life, including secretarial, government, union activity, politics (school board and city council), and IT management...so my education has been life-learned, and sustainable. If you could contact me, I would be ever so grateful. Your book has inspired me to move forward and complete my book on my "widow's journey to happiness". Thank you.
