Fourteen horses in Huerfano County were slowly starving to death, their owner himself dying of a terminal illness and unable to care for them.
Forty-two dogs at a rambling Bent County property survived with little medical care, some forced to live miserable lives out in the open.
These are the type of stories that break the hearts of animal lovers.
Today, they are part of the modern-day case file of an organization founded 130 years ago, the Colorado Humane Society & SPCA.
Colorado Humane, which ceased operation of its Englewood shelter in late 2009 amid allegations against its owners of mismanagement and unwarranted euthanasia of some animals, is back.
It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dumb Friends League and its agents are searching out animal cruelty in 12 Colorado counties.
While the Colorado Humane Society shelter was shut down, its name lived on.
"It's a good name," says Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League, now in its 101st year. Rohde acquired rights to the name and brought it to his board. The result was the joining of the two venerable organizations.
The Dumb Friends League has been supporting the Colorado Humane Society financially as it gets on its feet.

Well it seems Mixology Monday piqued my curiosity about shooters. Why? Well because they seem to be very photogenic and colourful. So with my new lightbox for photographs I decided that I'd make a few shooters and then photograph them. It worked out fairly well, since I was taking pictures with one hand and holding a pipette in the other. Yep, I use a pipette to make layered shooters because it is a magnitude easier and a whole lot faster. The spoon thing is old school and can result in a mess, but with a pipette you never make a mistake, unless you get the liqueur order wrong. Follow along for a little more enlightenment.
A pipette is like a large glass straw with a bulb in the middle (see picture). A few years back I picked up a box of 9ml pipettes (odd size, but perfect for a 30ml shot glass) on eBay for a few bucks and they do a great job layering shoots and pousse cafes, not that I make a lot of them. The reason a pipette works so well is that you can submerge the tip to the bottom of the shot glass and slowly release the liqueur. This displaces and pushes the other liqueurs up without intermixing the two liquids resulting in nice clean layers. So to make a layered shot you add the liqueurs to the glass from lowest density to the highest. There are a couple of exceptions, like the B-52 but more on that later.
You can buy plastic 10ml pipettes for a few bucks, but you'll also want to get a pipette bulb because sucking on the pipette to draw the liquid up isn't very professional. The bulbs can cost around $10 to $15 but are well worth the investment.
The other reason the pipetting method is good is the speed, and as we all know bartenders need to be fast. There is no fussing around with spoons and the excruciatingly slow pouring technique required to layer liqueurs. With the pipette you stick it in the bottle, suck up 10ml, place in the bottom of the shot glass, release and repeat. Once you have your pipetting technique down to an art, you can whip out two or three perfectly layered shots in a minute. Just remember that for proper technique, you need to remove the suction bulb and quickly place your index finder over the top of the pipette (like a barrel thief or when you use a straw to sample a drink). Then you can slowly release your index finger to release the liquid.
If, as a bartender or even a mixology enthusiast, you want to impress people with shooters, do it the Jerry Thomas way and make them pousse cafe style. Layers make the drink look good and can increase your tips. Investing in a pipette and pipette bulb can help expedite your shots. There is no need to premix B-52's into a speed pour jug and slosh them out. They look like crap and they just don't taste the same as the layered version.
As for making a B-52 using a pipette, you need to do the Bailey's layer last and you need to place the tip of the pipette between the Grand Marnier layer and the Kahlua layer. The only reason you do this is so the Bailey's doesn't mes up the sides of the shot glass. If you put it in after the Grand Marnier it will streak the bottom of the shot glass and the Kahlua will look cloudy.
The picture to the left is my first attempt showed the error of my ways. But it still made for a cool picture.
This last picture is just a cool shot when I added the Bailey's before the Kahlua.

I've always tried to make this blog somewhat of a record of my life, however fragmented, warts and all. Here in the archives is my defiant abandonment of the New Democratic Party for, let's say, greener pastures. However right it felt at the time, and for a couple of by-elections and a general election after, I have been back to embracing my NDP sentiments for a while now.
Unless I am mistaken, my leaving had only minimal impact on the party at the national level. However, at the level of my local riding association on which I served as a member of the Executive, there are amends to be made when the time is right.
This is all swirling through my conscience this week as Canada observes the passing of NDP leader Jack Layton. Everything from his departing letter to Canadians to the public outpouring of affection for Jack-the-man serve to point out what a great loss the country has suffered.
In one of several meetings with him, I remember running into Jack in the corridors at the national convention held in Quebec City a few years ago. I had something, forgotten now, to discuss with him. Surrounded by his closest aides, anxious to continue their walk, he pulled me to his side and said, "Walk with me." We conversed, I was satisfied, and the convention proceeded as he headed to the stage. I don't know whether Jack always knew my name, if ever, but he always knew my face and knew my passions, particularly as an AIDS activist.
We grew up about forty kilometers, and nine years, apart – Jack in Hudson, me in Valleyfield. Hudson is on the Ottawa River, Valleyfield on the St. Lawrence. Friends moved up there midway through high school so I used to cycle across the flat St. Lawrence Valley and make the huge climb up into the hills which hugged the Ottawa. It was an athletic feat for someone not otherwise very athletic! I particularly remember making the trip to see the Olympic torch run through Hudson on its way to the 1976 games in Montreal.
I look forward to what is sure to be an outstanding send-off to Jack on Saturday, and to intentionally re-connecting with NDP friends in the days ahead.

text: WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented on the confirmation of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court this morning. "Elections have consequences. The confirmation of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court is now an accomplished fact. This is not simply the work of the President who nominated him and the Senators who confirmed him. This is the work of the voters, who put the President and the Senators into office."Fr. Pavone continued, "Priests for Life is grateful to the voters who, in the elections of 2004, were motivated by the desire to change the Supreme Court, particularly on the way it rules regarding abortion. No issue is of greater moral consequence. We expect that the changes on the Court will move us closer to an end to legal abortion in America. We renew our call to voters to make the elections of 2006 and 2008 even greater advances for the protection of the unborn."Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia.

(RNN) – The California Taco Bell employee who posted a photo on Facebook of a fellow employee licking a stack of hard taco shells has been fired, according to a news release from Taco Bell.
The same also goes for the photographed employee, who was seen licking a stack of several Doritos Locos taco shells while in the preparation area of the Ridgecrest, CA restaurant.
Taco Bell calls it "unacceptable" and a violation of "our food handling procedures with a stack of tacos."
The taco shells were being used for training purposes for the promotional tacos, which launched in March. The news release said the shells were about to be thrown out.
"Two employees used them to take a photo for an internal contest in which the company and franchise employees could submit for approval photos of themselves enjoying their first bite of the product," said the news release.
The photo was not submitted to the contest.
"But an employee posted it on a personal social media page, in violation of the franchisee's policies, and it emerged online in social media," the news release said.
Taco Bell says it is currently investigating the incident. They also say that the aforementioned taco shells were not served to customers.
The photo caused everything but a fiesta when Facebook user Jj O'Brien Nolan posted the picture on Taco Bell's page on June 2. "This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment, and what they post on the internet. Ridgecrest, California," Nolan said, commenting on the picture.
Taco Bell is based in Irvine, CA and is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands. The company that also owns Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Custom Homes Manufacturer Subjected African American Employees to Racial Harassment, EEOC Charged
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Professional Building Systems of North Carolina, LLC, of Mt. Gilead, N.C., will pay $118,000to six African American employees who filed charges of racial harassment with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and six more African Americans who were also subjected to racial harassment, the agency announced today. Additionally, the company agreed to significant non-monetary relief to settle the lawsuit brought by the EEOC.
The EEOC brought the lawsuit against Professional Building Systems after it had identified at least 12 black employees who had been subjected to racial harassment there. According to the EEOC's complaint, at various times between mid-2005 and 2008, black employees were subjected to racial harassment that involved the creation and display of nooses; references to black employees as "boy" and by the "N-word"; and racially offensive pictures such as a picture that depicted the Ku Klux Klan looking down a well at a black man. In its complaint, the EEOC alleged that the managers of Professional Building Systems not only knew about the harassment and took no action to stop or prevent it, but also that a manager was one of the perpetrators of the harassment.
Racial harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (EEOC v. Professional Building Systems of North Carolina, LLC, Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-00617), after attempting to reach a voluntary settlement with Professional Building Systems. Thereafter, six of the harassment victims intervened in the EEOC's lawsuit via private counsel.
"Make no mistake: Almost fifty years after the passage of landmark civil rights laws, nooses and racial epithets like the "N-word" are still being used to ridicule and intimidate in the workplace," said Acting EEOC Chairman Stuart J. Ishimaru. "The EEOC will forcefully fight this reprehensible and racist conduct wherever we find it, and we'll insist on securing substantial relief for victims, as we did in this case."
In addition to monetary damages, the consent decree resolving the case provides for injunctive relief to prevent Professional Building Systems from maintaining a racially hostile work environment or engaging in retaliation under Title VII. The decree also requires the company to post its policy against racial harassment; distribute the policy to employees; provide annual, company-wide training on racial harassment; eliminate all existing nooses or racial epithets, if any, from its facility; and report future verbal or written complaints of racial harassment.
"Nooses are symbols of hate, prejudice, and discrimination, which should not and will not be tolerated in the workplace," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney of the EEOC's Charlotte District. "It is especially inexcusable when managers perpetrate racial harassment against their subordinates or know about racial harassment and fail to address it. EEOC will continue its efforts to eliminate racial harassment in the workplace on behalf of harassment victims."
Tina Burnside, supervisory trial attorney in the EEOC's Charlotte District, added, "The EEOC is pleased that the consent decree includes injunctive measures designed to ensure that black employees are no longer subjected to racial harassment and can work in an environment free of nooses and racial graffiti."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's website at www.eeoc.gov.

Andrus gets 3 hits in Rangers' loss to Royals
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Bruce Chen was more than a little disappointed at his first trip to the mound.
The Royals leader in wins over the last two seasons gave up five runs and lasted only five outs in Kansas City's 7-6 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday.
"It's not the way I wanted to start spring training," Chen said. "Giving up five runs is not what I wanted to do. I feel like I can only get better from here. I have to make better pitches. Everything I was throwing was hittable pitches. My pitches were up. I don't want that to happen my next outing even if it's spring training."
Elvis Andrus went 3 for 3 and scored three times, and Adrian Beltre was also 3-for-3 for Texas.
Derek Holland, who won 16 games for the Rangers last season, allowed one run and three hits over two innings in his first spring start. Holland read a scouting report on him and the Rangers left-hander did not like what he saw.
"It said I was inconsistent with my off-speed pitches that you could sit on one pitch," Holland said.
Holland focused on throwing off-speed stuff against the Royals.
"They were all good," Holland said. "I kept everything down. I also showed I could throw them all for strikes, which was a big thing."
Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer to trim Texas' lead to 6-3 in the fifth. Derrick Robinson added a two-out, two run single in the sixth, and pinch-hitter Kevin Kouzmanoff delivered a two-run double with two out in the ninth.
"We had drama from the sixth inning on," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We had opportunities to put ourselves back in the game after being down five early. They kept after it, managed to get some runs in to make it close and put it away in the ninth."
NOTES: Texas RHP Yu Darvish threw 43 pitches in the bullpen and is scheduled to make his first start Wednesday against San Diego. . Royals C Max Ramirez was hit by Tanner Scheppers' pitch in the eighth inning and had to leave the game. Ramirez said the pitch hit him in the hand and bounced off his chin, but he is OK. . The Rangers added LHP Neal Cotts to their big league spring training camp. Cotts went 4-0 with a 1.94 ERA in 69 relief appearances in 2005 with the White Sox. He has not pitched since 2009 and has had elbow surgery and four hip operations. He is one of nine left-handers competing for a spot in the Texas bullpen. . Rangers C Mike Napoli, who strained a left ankle ligament in the World Series, will be brought about slowly in spring training. The plan is not to have him catch in back-to-back games until late in camp. . The Royals will play a split squad Tuesday. RHP Luke Hochevar is scheduled to throw at Surprise against the Padres. LHP Will Smith, who won a Texas League-leading 13 games last year, will start against the Indians at Goodyear. . LHP Joe Beimel, who has had a setback with elbow stiffness, threw 11 strikes in 15 pitches in a scoreless inning Monday in a Texas intrasquad game.

Fierce rivals Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury collide in the biggest heavyweight grudge rematch in recent years with the winner earning the right to face Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO Heavyweight Championship of the World.
Not only will the winner get Klitschko, but the prized British Heavyweight Championship will also be on the line in this crucial showdown.
Chisora v Fury headlines a blockbuster show titled 'The Fight For The Right' at the Phones4U Arena in Manchester on Saturday 26th July promoted by Frank Warren, in association with Queensberry Promotions and Hennessy Sports, and sponsored by Rainham Steel.
The pair first clashed in July 2011 at Wembley Arena with Fury inflicting the first defeat to Chisora's then unbeaten record and snatching his British and Commonwealth belts on the judges scorecards.
Finchley puncher Chisora admits that he wasn't in shape for the fight, but since then has turned his career around with eye-catching performances to win the European, WBO and WBA International titles and top ten rankings with three of the four major governing bodies.
This time he's confident of reversing the result and getting his dream shot at Klitschko.
Chisora stormed, "Tyson Fury is in my way and I'm going to smash him out of it and get the world title fight against Klitschko. Yes, Fury beat me last time, but that was at the worst time of my career. You're seeing the best of me now and there's no way Fury can deal with that. He hasn't moved on in his career since he beat me, I've been fighting at a higher level while he's been fighting nobodies. This time I'll dump him in a heap in the ring. He's still got it in the back of his mind that he's beaten me, he won a battle, I'm going to win the war."
The brash and fearsome Fury has marked himself out as one of the most exciting and thrilling fighters in the heavyweight division with his hard-hitting performances. Last month he stopped American Joey Abell inside four round and prior to that he flattened Steve Cunningham in the seventh round in New York after he was dropped in the second round.
Wilmslow banger Fury is confident that the fight won't be going the distance this time and he'll knockout Chisora inside the distance.
"It's set to be a great night in my home city, the night I earn my dream world title shot in front of my home fans. It means I have to go over old ground and batter Chisora again, but if that's what has to be done, I'll do it and in much better style this time. That fight was nearly three years ago, I've moved into world class since then and remained unbeaten. I'll give it to him, Tubby has shifted that spare tyre around his waist and got himself into shape, but he can't build muscle on his chin and when I land on it he'll be knocked clean out. Get one thing clear, I'm getting the world title fight against Klitschko, I'm the best in Britain and you'll see whey on 26 July."
Hall Of Fame Promoter Frank Warren is equally excited about putting together the biggest domestic heavyweight rematch in recent years.
He said, "This is the big one for both men, it's the fight for the right to face Klitschko for the world title and one of the best to made on the world scene. The winner will become the number one challenger to Klitschko and he'll be forced to face whoever that man is, Chisora or Fury. They are at the top of their game right now, and with everything on the line they will give it their all. Chisora desperately wants the Klitschko fight, Wladimir's already pulled out of a fight against him, but if Chisora beats Fury then Klitschko will have no option but to fight him. Fury's undefeated and is confident he's got the beating of Chisora again. Things have changed since the fight almost three years ago and with the world title as the golden carrot I believe we are going to see something really special between them."

Love the jellies. Frida will be great for spring too. Two/three layers are great for me. Nice change from opaques and heavy glitters.
When I received my polish i was expecting a opaque cream finish and yet it was streaky and oily and did not transfer well at all. i saw this shade at ulta recently and it looked opaque. however i read the description again and its suppose to a jelly like top that you would put on top of another color. i was disappointed . i will definetely be reading the descriptions more better from now on. Not good at all.
This is a lovely colour I myself have not yet used it but have used something near this colour from mac cosmetics and it was lush,hope you enjoy.

Photographer Garry Winogrand focused his camera on women like a laser beam. See his work on exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum.
If Don Draper photographed women instead of seducing them, his pictures might look like Garry Winogrand's.
Draper, the philandering chameleon of "Mad Men,'' exists only in a popular TV series. But Winogrand gained fame as a pioneering street photographer who snapped many thousands of pictures of young, attractive women he glimpsed on streets and beaches, cafes and society gatherings.
Social history and fantasy coalesce in "Winogrand's Women Are Beautiful,'' a provocative exhibition at the Worcester Art Museum.
Organized by Nancy Burns, the museum's assistant curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, this intriguing show invites viewers to judge whether Winogrand genuinely documented women's changing social roles through the 1960s and 1970s or was just a voyeur with a camera.
Mostly young buxom women appear in every photo in this show often wearing low-cut or revealing blouses. They are stretching, dancing, walking, laughing, eating or sunbathing in bikinis.
Burns urged visitors to view Winogrand's work within the context of a aspiring commercial photographer who reinvented himself as a "serious art photographer'' whose perceived focus on women has been misunderstood.
"People tend to absolutely love him or have real problems with him. There are few in the middle,'' she said. "… One of the criticisms of Gary Winogrand is that he exploits the people in his photographs, particularly women.''
Burns said Winogrand's admirers often praised his "snapshot aesthetic'' and off-centered framing – dubbed "the Winogrand tilt'' – for capturing interesting moments in everyday life. Some feminists, she said, reviled him as a misogynist who "objectified women.''
After studying painting and photography at Columbia University, Winogrand began roaming New York streets in the early 1950s photographing whatever interested him – mostly women – without permission, just about the time Hugh Hefner was publishing nudie shots of Marilyn Monroe and other top-heavy models in "Playboy.''
While photographing clothed subjects, Winogrand focused like a laser beam on shapely women, often in revealing or even vulnerable poses.
A pouting blonde beauty in a tight white gown dances in a crowd of older men. Inside a phone booth, a woman whose face is covered by a sign braces herself by lifting a leg, exposing a hint of underwear. In a rare rural shot, a naked woman skinnydips in a lake, seemingly unaware she's being photographed.
On Wednesday morning, several women reacted viscerally to Winogrand's photos.
"He's kind of a jerk,'' said a Shrewsbury mother who had brought her teenage daughter to the show.
"He was just doing what everyone else did back then and still do,'' said a woman who described herself as "coming from that generation.''
Another woman was disturbed by an untitled image from 1972 that revealed the shadow of Winogrand's head as he photographed a young girl in a bathing suit from behind just as her mother looks toward him with concern.
"You wonder if he had any daughters,'' she said, shaking her head.
Burns later observed Winogrand, who was married three times, dedicated the book "Women Are Beautiful'' to his wife and first daughter.
Drawn from the museum's collection, "Winogrand's Women Are Beautiful'' features 68 of 85 black-and-white images constituting a complete portfolio of a series of photos of the same name taken by Winogrand during the 1960s and early 1970s.
To encourage visitors to consider the breadth of Winogrand's work, Burns has divided the show into five sections: "Women Are Objects"; "Women Are Fierce"; "Women Are Reflective"; "Women Are Joyful"; and "Women Are More."
In an interview with Bill Moyers, Winogrand described his photos as "mute'' and without "narrative ability.'' "I don't have any storytelling responsibility to what I'm photographing. I have a responsibility to describe it well.''
It's a curious statement from a photographer whose images, Burns said, "Ask more questions than they answer.''
We want to know what's going on in the 1968 photo of a stylish woman walking bare-breasted through a crowded park. Or, who are they identically dressed women striding past several older men at a park's edge.
For a man who wielded his Leica camera like a six-shooter, Winogrand was often a master of off-the-cuff composition as in his famous untitled 1964 photo often called "Histrionics on a Bench, World's Fair, New York City.''
Burns compared it to Roman frieze for its complexity. A black and white man bookend eight people sitting on a bench in three groups seemingly oblivious to three gossiping women in the middle.
Burns said, it's "not fair'' to judge Winogrand on the basis of a series – however notorious – that actually features an eclectic range of images of women.
"He's not just presenting women as erotic objects. He's got photos in all directions," she said. "Both are happening. Sometimes you've got to divorce the artist from the art.''
In a short introduction to "Women Are Beautiful,'' Winogrand wrote: "Whenever I've seen an attractive woman, I've done my best to photograph her. I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know the women are beautiful in the photographs.''
Spoken like a true artist or maybe a chauvinist creep like Don Draper.

On Monday the Colorado Personhood Coalition submitted 112,121 signatures to the secretary of state, surpassing the 86,105 signatures required to get its anti-abortion initiative on the ballot in November. The signatures must be verified by state officials by September 5th. This will be the third consecutive time Colorado will have a personhood initiative on the ballot in the general election. In 2008, it got 27 percent of the vote, and in 2010 it got 30 percent of the vote.
According to the Daily Beast, Planned Parenthood said on Monday on the local Colorado news: "For the third time in the past consecutive general elections, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains today vowed to defeat the so-called personhood initiative. 'Personhood' amendments ban all abortion, specifically for victims of rape and incest. Personal, private medical decisions would be taken out of a woman's hands, and controlled by politicians and the government -- These decisions are best left to a woman, her family, and her faith."
Abortion-rights supporters argue that personhood amendments would not only strip women of their constitutional right to safe and legal abortion, but would also outlaw forms of birth control and threaten in-vitro fertilization. No state has passed a personhood measure thus far. According to NARAL Pro-Choice America (PDF), 14 state legislatures introduced 26 personhood measures in 2011. Last week Personhood USA, a national personhood organization, filed a petition with the US Supreme Court to appeal the Oklahoma Supreme Court's unanimous decision to block a personhood ballot initiative in April. The Oklahoma court said the amendment is "clearly unconstitutional."

Four Ohio institutions announce the formation of a new Midwestern regional athletic conference with the goal of becoming an NCAA Division II approved conference.
Charter members of the new league are Cedarville University, Notre Dame College, Urbana University, and Ursuline College.
The presidents and athletic directors of the four institutions recently met to finalize the venture. Immediate plans call for the group to include one another in scheduling while at the same time discussing membership with other interested institutions.
The charter members have also entered into an agreement with O&L Athletic Consulting, an experienced firm with expertise in advising schools and conferences in the Division II membership process, to provide assistance in the development of the new athletic conference.
Urbana University, located in the west central Ohio city of Urbana, is already a full Division II active member. The Blue Knights completed the three-year NCAA membership process in June, 2010.
Cedarville University, situated in southwestern Ohio, 25 miles east of Dayton, is in Candidacy Year Two with the NCAA.
Notre Dame College, located east of Cleveland in the suburb of South Euclid, is also in Candidacy Year Two with the NCAA.
Ursuline College, with its campus in Pepper Pike just minutes away from Notre Dame, is in Year One Candidacy. The Arrows compete in women's athletics only.
Other schools have already expressed an interest in joining the new conference. Thus, the group intends to move quickly with the development of membership requirements, constitution and by-laws, and sport guidelines. An office staff, including a commissioner and other league personnel, are also in the works.
The formation of this new conference, which will be officially named at a later date, will provide an opportunity for institutions that are in geographical proximity and have common missions and direction to enhance NCAA Division II in the region.
Growth in membership will be primary as the conference develops. Even though Division II has a moratorium on new conferences until August 2013, this region needs to organize for future NCAA Division II competition.
With this in mind, the new Midwestern regional athletic conference aims to position itself to be a fully operational conference by the time the NCAA moratorium is lifted and be positively reviewed by the Membership Committee.
# # # # #
"We are excited to partner with Notre Dame, Urbana, and Ursuline in the development of a new athletic conference," stated Cedarville University President Dr. William Brown. "As we move forward in the NCAA Division II membership process, we are committed to establishing a conference that will provide quality academic and athletic opportunities that our students deserve."
Dr. Stephen Jones, president of Urbana University, added, "We are excited to create a regional conference that will offer spirited NCAA Division II competition among like-minded institutions and provide post-season championship play to our student athletes. We're pleased to be a charter member of what we know will expand to become an exemplary conference for D-II intercollegiate athletics."
Notre Dame President Dr. Andrew P. Roth commented that the formation of a new NCAA Division II conference, "provides a rich opportunity for colleges in Ohio and the surrounding region to offer student-athletes the benefits of high level athletic competition within the NCAA's commitment to 'life in the balance' - quality academics, quality athletics and quality student life."
Ursuline College President Sister Diana Stano remarked, "I believe this is an exciting time for schools in this region to establish a new conference. With the recent changes in the membership criteria, this new conference will add a positive presence among the already existing conferences and be a strong advocate for 'life in the balance' and the recent positioning platform for D-II schools."

|Chuck Moore and the Purple
Raiders hold aloft a sixth national championship trophy.
By Pat Cummings, D3football.com
SALEM — Chuck Moore made his last day as a Purple Raider
his best.
The fifth-year senior and Gagliardi Trophy winner set a Stagg Bowl record by rushing for 273 yards and three touchdowns to lead Mount Union to its sixth national championship 30-27 against Bridgewater (Va.).
"You never expect to put numbers together like that," said Moore, who won his second consecutive Stagg Bowl Most Outstanding Player award. "This is what dreams are made of."
The Raiders' unprecedented fifth national championship in six years and 82nd victory in 83 games certainly seemed delivered by the Sandman.
"I would have never expected half of what we've done," Moore said, admitting that he might start missing football as early as Sunday morning.
While Moore, who has completed course work and is set to begin work as a stockbroker in January, is going to miss football, the Purple Raiders will miss him.
"I hesitate to say I might never have an opportunity to coach another young man of his caliber," said Mount Union coach Larry Kehres, holding back tears. "Because I hope I do."
Moore's third touchdown, a 95-yard burst with 5:50 left in the third period, gave the Purple Raiders a 30-13 lead and seemingly sealed the outcome.
But Bridgewater, a team that had made a habit out of rallying from deficits in improving from 0-10 in 1998 to 12-1 this season, would not go away. Quarterback Jason Lutz found junior Brian Ratliff, who finished with a game-high seven receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns, for a 59-yard score that cut the lead to 30-20 with 13:09 remaining.
Bridgewater had three possessions after that, but Lutz threw an interception, was sacked on a key third down and later scored on a 3-yard run.
Mount Union had taken possession ahead by 10 with 5:58 left, and an acrobatic catch on third-and-9 by Jason Candle (five catches for 120 yards) extended the Purple Raiders' drive and allowed them to kill three minutes of fourth-quarter clock. Rob Adamson lofted a pass down the middle that looked like it was intercepted by Bridgewater's Brad McCrady. Candle went up with McCrady, and as the two came down, Candle somersaulted and stood up with the ball in his hands.
"Maybe it was a lucky catch, maybe it was me making a play on the ball, maybe it was him not making a play on the ball," Candle said. "That's for you to debate. I've always prided myself on thinking I could step up in those situations."
After Lutz's touchdown narrowed the Mount Union advantage to three with 1:55 left, Bridgewater attempted but did not recover an onside kick. Moore rushed for 9, 6 and then 8 yards to seal the win, and the third title of his career.
"This is an unbelievable feeling to walk out of here as a senior and as a champion," said Moore.
A game that some assumed might be a Purple Raider cakewalk started on high note for the Eagles. On the first play from scrimmage, Jason Lutz found Marcus Richardson on a seam route, a 67-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
Mount Union responded with Moore's first touchdown to cap a six-play, 49-yard drive. The Eagles missed an opportunity to go ahead 10-7 later in the opening period when a Sean Rowe 42-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright.
Mount Union's Rodney Chenos made it 10-7 with a field goal early in the second period. Chenos also missed a 33-yard attempt with just more than nine minutes left in the game.
When the teams traded blows early on, a momentum-changing 44-yard interception return by Jason Perkins gave Mount Union a 23-13 advantage 3:39 from the half.
"Even though it occurred early, it might have been a game-winning play," Kehres said.
Of course, the game's best play came from the Mount Union defensive line and secondary. They forced the Eagles, who outgained Mount Union 516-454, into four turnovers, all interceptions thrown by Lutz (14 of 34, 374 yards, 3 touchdowns). Mount Union threw one interception and lost a fumble.
Bridgewater All-American tailback Davon Cruz finished with 71 yards on 18 carries, but was slowed by a rib injury early in the game. Cruz aggravated the injury later and was disappointed at not being full strength.
His counterpart, fellow All-American Moore had no such problems. His story went perfectly according to the script.
"I have been lucky enough to play in three national championship games," Moore said. "I can honestly say it gets better and better every time. You never want to take winning for granted."

Tivoli Taps have a 10 year guarantee. view details
What this guarantee covers:
To avoid the guarantee becoming null and void please adhere to the following:
Tips for taking care of your Tivoli Taps
Clean out the aerator at least twice a year or sooner if required
|Installation Type
|Bath Tap
1. Flush out the inlet pipes well before starting with the installation.
This will remove any solid objects that may block the tap once in use.
Install an in-line strainer to prohibit future damage to the cartridge or blocking of the aerator.
2. Ensure that you have balanced pressure not higher than 6-bar or 600kPa.
This can be achieved by placing a pressure-reducing valve before both the hot and cold take off.
3. Use the correct tools for installation and always place a protective cloth over visible chrome parts that require spanner tightening.
4. We recommend the use of angle regulating valves on all basin mixers, pillar taps, sink mixers and prep bowl taps.This helps to isolate the tap without turning off your entire water supply.
5. If you are tiling or grouting around your taps, be sure to cover and protect them until workmanship is completed.
Tivoli Taps are guaranteed for 10 years, which covers all manufacturing defects, but excludes normal wear and tear.
• Use only a soft cloth with soapy warm water to clean your taps, to keep them looking as good as new.
• Never use abrasive materials or wire wool, and don't use industrial cleaning agents, especially grout cleaner, solvents, alcohol based cleaners,
or any aggressive materials which could damage the chrome finish.

Private Property, or Nue Propriété, is a film
in French with English subtitles, co-written and directed by
Belgian director Joachim Lafosse and released in the UK in 2008. It
stars Isabelle Huppert, as Pascale, who gives an excellent
portrayal of a single mother struggling to parent her adult twin
sons, played by brothers Jérémie and Yannick Renier. The film is an
intimate family portrait of the aftermath of divorce ten years
previously, showing how each family member has been affected.
Private Property explores the vulnerable position of
children caught up in the post divorce hurt and anger that can
continue indefinitely if both parents remain confrontational in
their quest to win the allegiance of their children.
The film opens with Pascale trying on a negligee in
front of her bedroom mirror and calling for one of her twenty
year-old sons, François, who appears wearing only his underpants
and a t-shirt, to give her his opinion about how she looks. They
are soon joined by his twin, Thierry, similarly dressed, who makes
some jokingly crude and hurtful comments about his mother. From
this first scene we understand immediately the difficult and
disrespectful relationship that exists between Pascale and her
sons. As we watch her prepare meals for them, which her sons always
eat ravenously whilst criticising everything she says, it becomes
apparent that Pascale has no parental control over them, but
especially over Thierry's angry bullying behaviour. When she
returns home from work one day to find her ex husband in the house
with their sons, she becomes enraged and asks him to see them
elsewhere, frustrated by the intrusion into her personal space
which so undermines her authority. Filmed with slow static takes
that perfectly capture the claustrophobic atmosphere within the
rooms of the home, Private Property painfully portrays the
intense emotional interactions between the twin brothers and their
Private Property shows the difficult job
of a single mother, dependent on the financial support of her ex
husband, struggling to make things good for her sons without the
balance and support of another adult partner in the home. Her
devotion to her sons has been her major focus for the ten years
since the divorce until she begins to recognise the need to focus
on her own life again. We learn that she is having a secret
relationship with her neighbour, Jan, a cook who wants her to sell
up the family home and move away with him to open up a B & B.
She gradually builds the courage to tell her sons this plan, but
they are so shocked at the prospect of a change to their lives that
they completely forbid a sale of the house, which they remind her
was bought by their father for them. Thierry meets with his father,
Luc, to inform him of Pascale's plan and is reassured by him that
she will not be allowed to sell the house. However, François
reflects on the possibility of actually helping his mother and Jan
in the B & B, revealing a difference between the brothers in
their relationships with Pascale. Throughout the film we are shown
scenes of the brothers playing table tennis and computer games or
lounging in front of the TV whilst waiting for Pascale to feed
Desperate for some adult support in regaining
parental authority in the discussion about her future, Pascale
invites her lover Jan to supper. He cooks the family a special meal
and is rewarded by rudeness from Thierry and disinterest in eating
his food. Soon after, Jan tells Pascale that she must sort out her
relationship with her sons before he can see her again and she
becomes more isolated than ever. The brothers start to argue more
frequently between themselves, and with their mother, causing the
family to finally disintegrate when Pascale leaves home in search
of some space for herself, unable to cope with Thierry's
I will not describe the end scenes in any detail,
except to say that they reveal the ultimate emotional vulnerability
and immaturity of Thierry, whose anger finally causes great damage
to the family. We come to understand that there has been a
catastrophic failure in helping him to process the deep hurt and
loss that he experienced as a result of his parents divorce and
that he has continued to suffer as a result of their ongoing poor
relationship. Perhaps appropriately for the subject matter, the
film concludes without resolution.
Private Property provides us with a window on the world
of the post divorce family ten years from their break up and gives
us an opportunity to reflect on the harm of continuing conflict
between divorced parents over many years. The film is especially
good at illustrating the damaging effects that an acrimonious
divorce can have on older children, particularly when their
divorced parents continue to undermine each other as they fight for
the allegiance of their children. Because Luc has bought the
farmhouse for his sons and ex wife, he remains essentially in
control of the family, depriving Pascale of any freedom to move on.
Her dilemma is very well performed by Huppert as the downtrodden,
impoverished, exhausted single mother who is trying too hard to put
her sons needs first, trapped by the role that she has played in
creating their inconsiderate selfishness, whilst unable to realise
her own desired future.
Private Property might also be of
particular interest to psychotherapists, working with families or
individuals, as a focus for discussion about the role of
inter-personal boundaries within relationships. Indeed the film
opens with a dedication "To our boundaries", setting the
psychological agenda that will be explored. The close bond that is
presented between the twin brothers, as we watch them shampooing
each other's hair in a shared bath, gives rise to uncomfortable
feelings of an inappropriate inter-personal boundary between the
siblings, characterised by inadequate emotional separation from
each other and from their mother. Later on in the film we witness
the dangerous consequences of that inadequate separation. In the
opening scene in which Pascale asks François for his opinion of her
newly purchased undergarment, we are in equally uncomfortable
territory, as we witness a sexualised conversation between a mother
and her adult sons. As a training exercise for those wanting to
work with families in distress as a result of divorce, this film
offers a wealth of opportunities for observing both verbal and
non-verbal interactions that point to the difficulties each family
member is experiencing.
For further reading, The Royal College of
Psychiatry website has a good factsheet on the effect
that separation and divorce of parents may have on children and
young people, in their Mental Health and Growing Up series. The
website Divorce Aid also has a number of relevant pages for
teenagers. As such, this film could be used as a
springboard for discussions about the effects of divorce on the
mental health of children for medical students and psychiatric

Here is one: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/wulfware The rpm's are prebuilt for FC4. The source rpms or tarballs SHOULD (re)build on RH9. Put xmlsysd on each node and the master. Put wulfstat and/or wulflogger (which need libwulf to build) on nodes where you want to do the monitoring. wulfweb is an "example" of one way to use wulflogger to build a very simple auto-refreshed website that displays cluster node status. Displays in wulfstat track nearly anything of immediate interest out of /proc or that result from certain non-proc informational systems calls. One display (the default) is vmstat-like; another tracks running PIDs on the nodes, providing a formatted ps-like output. See if it does what you want. If not, there is also ganglia (web only AFAI remember), bproc and scyld with tools that can do much the same thing. xmlsysd is very lightweight and pretty easy to use, though, especially for a smaller cluster. rgb > > Thanks > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Lot # 109 (of 1807) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1903 E107 Breisch-Williams Frank Isabel (Isbell)
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,422.00
Graded VG 40 by SGC. E107 Breish-Williams featuring Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Isbell. It is interesting to note that Isbell's name is misspelled "Isabel" on this card. Isbell was a versatile player who at one time or another played every position, including pitcher. He joined the White Sox as a first baseman in 1900, the year before the team joined the newly formed American League. Isbell held the record for most errors in a World Series by a second baseman until 1981, when Davey Lopes won that unfavorable crown. The card looks better than its SGC-assigned grade and has been downgraded due to a hint of barely detectable glue staining on the reverse. This is an exceptional example from one of the early twentieth century's most substantial and highly regarded sets. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,422.00
